IC: NPC Ta-Koro GuardThe guard who had attacked Mixmaster tried to dodge the blast of kinetic energy, but it grazed his armor, leaving him unharmed but knocking him to the ground. He rose, ran back toward the fight, and this time slashed at Iris. Apparently, the guards were not too well informed of the situation.
IC: MixmasterThe Skakdi almosst managed to dodge the blast, but Iris's interference caused him to jump away from it before snapping back up. The bolt hit him in the stomach, and it hurt. The Skakdi roared and swung his sword at the Toa.
IC-Grochi:Grochi looked over at Raknar, feigned innocence and ignorance plastered on his face. "Replace us?" He said. "Why ever would you need to do that? I mean, I know Gunner doesn't make much of a contribution to the crew...but we could always sell him instead." He smiled at Gunner.IC-Lashev:"Yeah, seriously," Lashev said to the others, "When are we gonna start? I'm gettin' bored," He added.IC-Hasil:"Calm down Lashev," Hasil said, surprising everybody with his sudden lucidity. "You'll start when the others have you start, and that's all." He frowned down at the matoran.IC-KuAnLo:KuAnLo, unbeknownst to the others, had followed the three beings he had helped earlier. He'd already stockpiled the bodies-he wasn't very hungry anyways. He'd just keep them with that mandolin. He noticed them fighting another being, and smiled. However, he figured that, seeing as he'd already helped them, he should help somebody else. Grinning wolfishly, he jumped onto the guard who had just entered the fight, tackling him and pulling his armour off in shreds.
IC: [stronin]"I THINK IMMA DRUNK."
IC: IrisIris blocked the strike, and swung his sword in a counterstrike of his own.
IC: MixmasterHis muscles still spasming slightly, Mixmaster managed to block the strike with his plated arm.The Skakdi of Earth suddenly jumped back, and pulled out his other sword. One of his favorite tactics was constantly switching weapons to confuse his opponents.He swung his left sword towards Iris, and then his right, and then left twice. He began using the same tactic that the Toa of Lightning had used on him, constantly attacking and not leaving the Toa any time to attack back.
IC: IrisIris deflected the blows, opting to cancel his muscular interference. Iris, after deflecting a few more blows, dropped, did a half somersault forward, and used the momentum from said somersault to swing his sword at Mixmaster's waist, where he would have a much harder time blocking it.Iris was insane, after all.
IC: MixmasterHe felt the interference disappear, and saw Iris swinging towards him. There was no way to block it, and his sword cut a gash in his armor, but stopped at his almost leather like skin.As Iris's sword cut him, Mixmaster in turn struck downwards with both of his, hoping that at least one would hit the Toa.
IC: IrisOne of Mixmaster's blades struck iris in the shoulder, biting into his flesh. He gasped with pain. However, the alter ego was determined. He lunged forward diagonally with his full strength, which meant that as he lunged, his blade was pushed up against, and dragged across, Mixmaster's already existing wound. Mixmaster's leather-like skin was about to get sliced.
IC: MixmasterHe felt his skin get sliced and start to bleed, but the pain was nothing compared to the Toa's electrical attacks.Mixmaster jumped back from Iris, before swing his swords again. Left, right, right, left.
IC: Iris Iris deflected the blows, but slower. His shoulder wound was hindering his abilities.
IC: Kitsune, Ta-KoroKitsune saw and heard Hatchet, and managed to break her concenctration to roll out of the way, saving herself but freeing Crankcase.OOC: Last post for Tonight.
OOC: Wait, what? Oh... oops. I didn't notice KuAnLo. Sorry, Kal Grochi. Also, the guard with the halberd is a Matoran. Er, this might be inconvenient, but...IC: NPC Ta-Koro Guard, Ta-KoroThe guard swung his halberd, too drunk with the thrill of battle to notice the infected Toa tearing the armor off his back.
IC: SoliSoli nodded her head, "That you are Stronin, that you are."
OOC: Er, Alaka...that was your NPC guard I had KuAnLo attack. You might want to edit a bit there.
IC-KuAnLo:KuAnLo smiled as the guard swung his halberd, his battle frenzy leaving him oblivious to the being on his back. KuAnLo grabbed the halberd on the back swing, screeching slightly at the pain from the burning weapon, pulling it out of the Matoran of Fire's hands and jumping off. He held the halberd, and swung it, hard. The flat side of the blade hit the Guard's thigh, cracking his femur-armour. KuAnLo smiled, walking raising the weapon high.
IC: SongSong laughed at Gunner and Grochi. "Well, well. It seems a few people do still have some wit in this world."
IC: MixmasterHe continued the assult, but the stomach wound was forcing him to make less power blows then he would have like.
IC: [stronin]"I think this is the first time I've been *hic* drunk."
IC:"You must do what you believe is right, brother. Mata Nui be with you," Vakama replied gravely.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."
OOC: OK, so here goes...IC:Trad walked around the room that he had recently rented. It was clean, although a tad warm. However, he couldn't complain. There was nowhere else to live as right now every inn was full and the empty ones were in a sleazy part of the koro.He sat down and began to meditate, wondering where he should go next.
OOC: Welcome to The Game Trad. You can interact with Stronin and Soli, who are drinking in a bar.IC: [stronin]"I'm being reminded *hic* of some*hic*thing I did *hic* back in Po-Koro."
OOC: Thank you Hubert. I'll do so later.IC: Meditation didn't work- it was too warm.Soon, the whole room was filled with sounds of snoring."zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" went Trad continuously.The sound was louder than a hive of Nui-Rama.OOC: This is making me want to sleep right now.....
IC: Crankcase being freed allowed him to roll away from the Toa of Fire's blasts, and fire two beams of laser vision in his direction. Meanwhile, Hatchet fired two successive disks at Kitsune, before charging at him again.
IC: Kitsune, Ta-KoroOne of the discs missed her completely, thanks to the lack of accuracy you have when dual firing, but the other slammed into Kitsune, sending her rolling. When she laid still, she moaned. She seemed to be out of the fight, but one couldn't be sure.
IC: Hatchet growled in satisfaction, before whirling around and pouncng upon the Toa of Fire that had attacked Crankcase.
IC: Kitsune, Ta-KoroHatchet would be surprised to find himself hurtiling at the Toa of fire much faster than expected, thanks to Kitsune, who, even with the pain, had managed to concentration enough to change his gravity to in foward instead of down. However, even this was shaky. One small thing could disrupt her concentration.
IC - Shady - Magmapool Inn"A'ight," said the bartender, "I'll let you guys see him... For a little bit."He gestured to the door. With a nod, Shady headed towards it.
IC: If Hatchet was the kind of guy who grinned, he would have now. Instead, he opened wide, and bared his claws. For some strange reason his former foe Kitsune was helping him move faster through the air towards the Toa of Fire.
IC: VibayaHe followed Shady into the room, noticing two people working on helping the blacksmith, and the blacksmith himself. It was a small room, not enough for anyone to have good reaction time. And Vibaya currently had three NEX tablets.
IC - Shady - Lavapool InnShady looked sideways at Vibaya."I'll take the workers. You finish him off." he whispered.The black toa dissapeared from vision and reappeared behind one of the workers. He grabbed a hilt from his back and extended it in front of him. The bottom extended five feet, resting on the ground. The top extended three feet and a wicked blade flipped out at a ninety degree angle to form a scythe. All this happened in seconds.He beheaded the first worker, a Ga-Matoran who didn't even have time to scream. Before the other could say anything, there was a scythe in his back."So, Zyckel," said the killer murderously, "we'd like to know about your sister."
IC: VibayaHe looked right at the Blacksmith with a cold face as Shady asked the question. But, the reply the got was not what they wanted. Suddenly, gravity violently reversed on the two, sending them toward a brutal collision with the room's roof.
IC - Shady - Magmapool InnShady warped from his near-collision with the ceiling to directly in front if Zyckel. From this rather ostentatious vantage point, he swung his scythe. It would strike his chest lightly, if anything. If it hit, it wouldn't be deadly, but it would hurt a while lot.
IC: ZyckelThe sudden pain in his already wounded chest cause his power to stop, allowing Vibaya to drop to the ground unharmed. He let out a sudden shout, alerting anyone nearby that something was not quite right.
IC - Shady - MagmapoolShady sighed."Just tell us about your sister, and we'll leave you alone."
IC: Zyckel"No." He replied between coughing, a frown on his face as he looked up at the two NEX agents standing over him. "I'll tell you nothing."
IC - Shady - Torturing Zyckel"Oh, I believe you will,"He sliced at Zyckel's hand in an attempt to cut it off. "Let's try again. Where is your sister?"
IC: ZyckelBut Shady's hand found it impossible to go down with the strike, in fact, it was heading upwards. He looked at Shady with a very cold frown. "You are not harming her. I'll tell you nothing."
IC - Shady - Magmapool InnShady held his hand up like a fool because of the gravity. He narrowed his eyes. They could find the sister somehow."If that's how you want it."He dissapeared, appearing over Zyckel. His scythe slammed down wildly at the toa's head.
IC: VibayaOnly to have the scythe stopped by the stronger Kale Roho. "Patience Shady, do not act with such haste. There are easier ways to figure this out... let me try." He leaned close to the Toa of Gravity. "You see, either yourself, or your sister is going to die. Is it really worth giving up your own life for that of another? Such a waste it seems, wouldn't you agree?""..."
IC - Shady - Magmapool Inn"Who cares? We can find her." he argued.
