BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: The teal Toa looked down to the matoran. "Well Miss, it's survival of the fittest. We must adapt to overcome life on this corrupted island. And besides, I can't fight." Gyren said calmly. He had a sly smile on his face as he looked over to Jikal, noticing a change in the way he moved. He took out his notebook and quickly wrote down notes on Tawara and Iris. The lenses on his right eye seemed to focus in on her face.

OOC: Indeed it is. IC: IrisIris jumped to the side, just barely avoiding the blow. He drew a knife, and through it at Mixmaster's eye. The distraction set, he ran around the skakdi and sprinted toward his broadsword.

OOC: Well, he was taken away by Onarax's Gukko to the inn. I probably should have specified all of that before we went after information. XDIC: Vibaya"Yes. We have a suspect in mind already at this moment. But we need to speak to him in order to confirm our belief in the guilt." Vibaya remarked, black smoke floating out from his mouth. He wondered if someone would tell him to stop smoking indoors... that never got old.

IC: MixmasterWith an amazing feat of accuracy, Mixmaster punched the knife right out of air. The hulking Skakdi turned to face Iris, who was currently getting his broadsword.Lets make this fun, he thought, and pulled out one of his broadswords.His mace was in his left hand, his sword in his right.

IC: Tawara, Ta-Koro"Survival of the fittest..." murmured Tawara. "Yes, I guess I know something about that. And I can't blame you for wanting to survive."She walked away. But not before punching Gyren in the nose, though she knew that until recently she might have done the same thing he had.Tawara took shelter inside the Lavapool Inn and bolted the door, waiting for the battle outside to end. She couldn't do anything against the Skakdi, though she hated feeling so useless.

IC: IrisIris picked up his broadsword with one hand, a fired a lightning bolt at Mixmaster with the other. A few seconds after, he concentrated and made three lightning bolts strike down in a perfect triangle around the skakdi. With any luck, one of the four would hit him.Iris charged, broadsword in hand.

IC: Gyren maintained a sort of serenity or just pure obliviousness as he rubbed his mask. He looked to the fight and smiled, simply saying "It's not for my sake." As Gyren said this he contemplated creating a small singularity but decided not to over-exert himself. Instead, he leaned on the bolted door and watched the fight.

IC: MixmasterHe expected the lightning bolt, but it didn't make it any easier to dodge, but he managed. Two of the three that came down missed him by centimeters, but the third got lucky and hit his mace, traveling up his arm and numbing it for a second.This meant that he had to fight with his right arm untill feeling returned to his left. Mixmaster swung his broadsword at Iris, twice in quick sucession.

IC: IrisIris defelected the first blow, and stepped back to avoid the second. He swung his broadsword toward his numbed side, it would be harder to block.

IC: MixmasterThe Skakdi turned just in time to block the swing with his own sword. He was begining to get feeling back, but slowly.As he turned to block the swing he also sent his foot backwards, preforming a powerful back kick towards Iris's stomach.

IC:"Do you know what kind of help it is that you seek?" Vakama asked.

IC: Kitsune, Ta-Koro Kitsune backflipped away from the skakdi as soon as he blocked her final blow, landing on her feet with ease. Hearing Jikal speak, she nodded. "Right."Realizing her Volitak was still activated, and she couldn't make a noise, she blushed. Quickly forgeting her error, she circled around Crankcase to his left, were she used her gravity powers to lighten his personal gravity, making it harder for him to move.

OOC: Ah, we meet again, Darkon. FOR THE LAST TIME.IC: Crankcase felt himself grow heavier. Long range attacks were the only effective move now, and his only long range attack was laser vision, with which he fired three pairs of glowing red beams at his foe.

IC (Oreius) (Ta-Koro)Oreius walked back around the blazing fire, his face cast in shadow. He knelt on the hard ground before Vakama, and, taking his guard staff from his back, he offered it to the Turaga, his head bowed."Release me from my service to Ta-Koro," he said quietly. "I know I should go to Jaller, but he wouldn't understand. You know my heart, Turaga: I can't do nothing, even for the sake of destiny; I must seek my own fate, even if it means my death."

IC: IrisIris sidestepped the blow, though Mixmaster's heel still connected. Iris let out a small gasp, even as he swung his broadsword once more.

OOC: Ah yes, two of the most morally-ambigious chars out there as friends. That sounds...fun. IC: Gunner - Magma LoungeGunner sneered, albeit slightly confusedly, "Sure, and I could...uh...er...SHUT UP!"-Void

OOC: I'm pretty sure this is the last post anyone in our little group made?

IC: "If you want to." Kamaehu shrugged, storing his weapons in a locker near the supplies. "In that case, the teams will be what? Lashev and Avya, Nikaron, and Ara'kas and me?"

Let me know if I'm wrong.IC (Avya) (Ta-Koro)I hefted the shield and staff, getting a feel for their weight. The shield was light but strong, and the staff was balanced well enough, though the hammer at one end dragged a bit. Still, I didn't know how much I'd need it if I was defending: my shield might get all the use."Sounds good, Kamaehu. Where do we play?"

IC: MixmasterHe spun around to face Iris, who's blow almost hit him. It would have if it wasn't for that fact that Mixmaster kept his own sword up to block it.The Skakdi swung his sword in return. He could now fully use his other arm, but he wanted to catch Iris off guard with an attack from it.

IC: IrisHis arm should be returning to usage soon. That lightning strike won't keep it down for much longer..... Iris blocked the blow, and fired another lightning bolt at Mixmaster.

IC: MixmasterBecause of being so close to the Toa of Lightning, Mixmaster was unable to dodge the bolt. It struck his chest, but the Skakdi managed to ignore most of the pain. His brown chest armor was blackened from the multiple lightning strikes there.The Skakdi of Earth swung his sword again, but this time he was trying to lock his weapon with Iris's.

IC: IrisWith how close the range was, the two hilts clashed together as Iris blocked. Growling he fired yet another bolt.

IC: MixmasterAs soon as Iris launched another bolt, Mixmaster swung his mace at the Toa's side.The bolt hit and caused him to spasm again, but hopefully, his mace would still strike Iris.OOC: el-oh-el, every time I type Iris's name I think of Onuzek saying, "Iris is a girl's name?"

IC: IrisIris, however, had been expecting the blow sooner or later. Thus, he had time to jump back. The blow grazed his right arm, and Iris winced. Determined, he fired another bolt, this time at Mixmaster's face.

IC: MixmasterAlthough stunned, the Skakdi managed to duck out of the way of the bolt. As he came back up he dropped his sword, and grabbed his mace with two hands.Mixmaster swung a two-handed blow downward, determined to smash the Toa to bits.

OOC: NEVAH! I shall fight to the last character! IC: Kitsune, Ta-KoroKitsune rolled to the side, regained her balance in the blink of an eye, and backflipped away, effectively dodging two of the blasts. The third glanced her shoulder. The same shoulder the arrow peirced. Falling to her knees in pain, Kitsune deactivated her Volitak, focusing all her concentration on increasing Crankcase's gravity.

IC: IrisIris lunged to the side, narrowly evading the blow, though he landed on his shoulder. He gasped as pain shot through it. He saw Kitsune drop out of the corner of his eye, and knew he had to end this quickly. Standing, he electrically charged his sword with a charge large enough to stun a Kikanalo. With furious speed, he began to rain blows down upon Micmaster's head, shoulders, and torso.The instant a blow either collided or was blocked, he pulled back to begin another. The unrelenting onslaught left Mixmaster little time to perform any counterstrikes.

OOC: We shall see IC: Crankcase was pinned to the ground, and could not get up.Meanwhile, Hatchet was regaining consciousness after his brief time out. With his breath regained, the Skakdi limped on all fours behind Kitsune, and pounced.

IC: IrisIris noticed Hatchet's movements when they started, due to his current monitoring of electrical impulses. His onslaught on Mixmaster slowed, just for a second, as he fired a lightning bolt at Hatchet.

IC: MixmasterHe barely managed to block the blows. When he saw an opening, Iris launching a bolt at Hatchet, the Skakdi brought his knee upwards into Iris's gut.

IC: IrisIris took the blow, and gritted his teeth. He once more electrically charged his sword, same voltage (enough to stun a Kikanalo), and started his onslaught once more. He had to end this now, and that meant pulling out all the stops.

IC: MixmasterIn those seconds, Mixmaster managed to get his other sword out, and was now more effectively blocking his swings. Although, everytime he did, a shock ran up his arms.The Skakdi knew something was gonna give. They were too evenly matched for it to end anyother way then one of them slipping or failing to stop a blow.

IC: The lightning bolt struck Hatchet, sending him out of control but still towards Kitsune, and his claws were still bared.

OOC: Ah yes, two of the most morally-ambigious chars out there as friends. That sounds...fun. IC: Gunner - Magma LoungeGunner sneered, albeit slightly confusedly, "Sure, and I could...uh...er...SHUT UP!"-Void

IC-Grochi:Grochi smiled at Gunner's mishap. "Yes, Gunner," he said slyly, "You certainly could. It would most likely help the situation a lot, wouldn't it?" He smiled again as Gunner got angrier.

IC: IrisIris had come to the same conclusion as Mixmaster. And that meant he had to use his ace. In large, clumsy doses, electricity could disrupt muscle functions. Similar to what Iris was now attempting. He slowed his blows somewhat, enough that he could concentrate, and applied minute doses of electricity to Mixmaster's muscles, enough to cause them to spasm slightly, almost imperceptibly, and likely upset the timing of his blows.

IC: Raknar (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Calm down, gents," said Raknar with a smirk. "I'd 'ate to have t' draft new crew members t' replace you."-Teezy

ooC: Actually I posted after that:

IC: NikaronNikaron shrugged "Doesn't really matter to me, although it is more fun when we have three teams playing." Sev would've loved this, he was always a Kohlii fanatic. Course Makuta would go and kill him, like he did to everyone else.

IC: NikaronNikaron nodded, he too wished to know when they would start.

IC: MixmasterHe saw his foe slow somwhat with his attacks, and Mixmaster pressed his attacks. But his muscles would occasionally spasm or stop, causing his blows to be less effective. The Skakdi sent a powerful swing to the side with his sword, while finishing it with a downward swing with his mace.What the Karz is that Toa doing?

OOC: Come on, the Guard has to do something. Besides, you Skakdi fellows should be able to make short work of the Matoran at least.IC: Tawara, NPC Ta-Koro Matoran and Toa Guards, Ta-KoroTawara watched through the windows of the Lavapool Inn as the battle intensified.The Toa of Fire who had appeared earlier was joined by two other guards, both of them Ta-Matoran. One, with orange armor, carried a crossbow and had a gladius belted at his waist. The other, in dark red and yellow armor, wielded a halberd. The Toa shouted some orders to the others, and they took their positions while the Toa, presumably their captain, fired a bolt of flame in Crankcase's direction. The Guard with the halberd lunged at Mixmaster with the blade, while the crossbowman remained at a distance from the battle and loaded his weapon.

IC: IrisIris blocked the sword blow, and sidestepped the mace. Just barely, however. Due to his concentration being focused on disrupting Mixmaster's motor functions, his reaction time was cut down slightly.

IC: MixmasterHe saw the guard coming at him and took out his rifle. Shaking slightly from Iris's attack, he fired point blank at the matoran.He then aimed the rifle one-handed at the Toa of Lightning, and fired at him as well.

IC: IrisIris dodged to the side, once more the blast skimmed his armor. He fired a blast of electricity at Mixmaster, at the same time maintaining his muscular interference.
