Corpus Rahkshi

IC: Illusive - Tridax's Office. 

Hoping the headmaster understood my shaky De-Matoran sign language, I did my best to communicate what I'd seen. Students on the Causeway. Attacking the village. Matoran shooting back at them. 

IC - Outside Arena

"Got'em, Kat!"

Pulling him back and holding him at arms length, the elastic rahk put on his scariest face. "What's in there?!"

Short / Gym, Sparring with Shark IC:

"Crunch" made a stab toward Short which was, as far as she could tell, aimed at her hat. She imagined this was to bait her to try and dodge under the blade and go for her legs. Instead, she jumped up onto the blade, using her well-honed hovering power to perform this maneuver much more quickly than Shark likely would have assumed she could move. She simultaneously stomped down and swung her mace as hard as she could down on the blade to try and immediately knock his sword out of his hands - or at least bring him down to her level.

Metal / Library, Asking for Help IC:

As Metal stepped into the Library, he saw a crowd of Rahkshi, two of whom appeared to be heavily injured. That wasn't nice. This school really needed a shot to the arm of friendship. He decided, however, not to interrupt them specifically, and instead to make a general booming announcement of, "Hey! If anybody wants to help me set up the stage for the talent show tomorrow in the Courtyard, it'd be really appreciated! Thanks!"

IC Kat:

"No time, we're going in, now!"

I dashed inside the cave, drawing one of my curved blades. Never hurt to be prepared.

OOC: Say, is there a door I could dramatically kick down? Or punch, I'm not picky~

IC - Entering Cave.

Urgh... Caoutchouc had a feeling that there was something baaaad waiting inside. A feeling that were he to drop the matoran (he dropped him) and run after Kat (he was running before the little guy hit the ground) that the outcome would be suitably bad.

He also had the feeling the matoran was looking at him smugly and laughing, or close to it.

(he probably was, and thanking his lucky stars)

IC Vaalku

Had he gone out? Vaalku couldn't remember. Nothing after dodging the second arrow. He must have fallen unconscious.

...

Whew. Infirmary. At least Palma was working quickly. He was going to be here a while.

OOC: Vaalku open to interaction.

IC: Exxan - Infirmary.

I remained silent, thinking over Palma's words. Escape was probably going to be the easy part. Surviving afterwards was going to be difficult. When Fang woke up, I was going to need to have a serious talk with him. First, to apologise, and then, to reevaluate our scheme. We needed to change our plan.

We couldn't just leave. We had to stop anyone from coming after us.

Somehow, we had to find a way to kill Tridax. 

IC: The Trinity Brothers, minus Toxin, and Punch/Counterpunch/Library
They regrouped at the library after Bullseye thinks that they should start learning again. Bullseye read books on scouting which combined with his prior knowledge, would benefit him. Stronghold continued to read his blacksmithing book and then left towards the Gym. Counterpunch. or rather Punch now, went to go to sleep.

IC: Alpha/Gym
I went to practice. This time with my tomahawk.

IC: Jayar / Hallways --> Empty Dorm Wing

As the group walked through increasingly quiet halls Jayar listened to Hoto and Era converse.

Compatible? Boyfriend? Well, perhaps, but Jayar was bound to object from a poetic standpoint - lover, for example, sounded much less juvenile, more poetic. Hoto denied it to Era by either name, of course, but it would all come out in the Kaita...

Anyways. "You said something about a practice run somewhere around here. If that worked out well enough, we should use the same place," he suggested. "Which was...?"

IC: Vlad / Raptor's Dorm

"Many Rahi are qvuite smart," Vlad pointed out as he entered the empty room alongside Drift.

IC: Shark / Gym

Short leapt far to quickly for Shark to swing his blade out of the way... but not for him to rotate it 90 degrees in the time before she stomped down on it. Unfortunately for her, she had just thrown herself at his unnamed sword's razor edge, with little chance of being able to reverse direction as speedily as would be necessary to avoid some nasty cut across her feet.

OOC: Last post of tonight. Don't get carried away on Sontiri without me!

IC: Era - Empty Dorm Wing.

"It was an empty room around here somewhere. Big enough for Dekako to fit in and move around in." 

IC: Toxin/Floating in Water in front of Cave

I stumbled but I managed to drag myself to the land. I decided to just sit there on the ground. There wasn't much I could do.

Short / Gym, Sparring with Shark IC:

Ah, he had a good reaction time. Short took note of this as she spread her legs apart and let her mace knock the sword out of the way. She then shot to her left, having stopped in mid air and flying to try to get closer to Shark. She kept her mace ready behind her in case he swung, and in the meantime used her head and momentum to try to headbutt her opponent to knock him over.

IC: Revenge-Captive

Revenge rolled over, the blade stabbed into his arm. Revenge was running out of options.  He lunged at Phantom, trying to knock him to the ground.  "The only thing thick about me is my Skin."

IC: Booger

Booger hauled Ripcord(Deadeye) into the infirmary and set him on a  bed.

IC: Tridax was a little rusty on his De-Matoran, a language he had actually bothered to learn, but managed to catch the gist of what Illusive was trying.

"The students are fighting Matoran from the village on the Causeway? The school is under attack?"

IC: The tunnel leading down to the arena cave ended in a portcullis. A simple thing of criss-crossing metal, designed to stop curious Rahi from wandering in more than it was supposed to withstand a siege. 

Kat tore it right out of the wall. 

Naturally this alerted everyone inside, and the Ghosts started flocking to the furthest reaches of the subterranean colosseum to avoid the wrath of Rahkshi. Not Phantom. He and Revenge were locked in a grappling match after the densirahk had thrown himself at the Hunter, so he braced himself, hoisted the student into the air, then hurled him with all his considerable strength at the encroaching fear Rahkshi. He knew this distraction would only be temporary though, so starting advancing on Rider, sword in hand. He was going to finish off the bound Rahkshi before he could be freed and escape...

IC: Illusive - Tridax's Office.

I shook my head and tried again. Students attacking village. Matoran defending themselves. 

IC: Jayar / Empty Dorm Wing

"Okay. Let's try find the same room." Jayar's gaze swept the hallways in search of some hint as to which door might lead to a large room, rather than the typical puny dorm. He didn't know what this hint might actually be, but he would probably know it when he saw it.

There, at the end of the hall, was a door spaced farther apart from its neighbors than any others. That implied a larger room, and indeed when Jayar stepped forth and opened the door he was confronted with the slightly cavernous expanse of an empty classroom. "Ah... I think I found it," he called out.

The time was almost at hand, and Jayar was almost shaking with nervous excitement.

IC: Shark / Gym

Short was quick; her small size and consequent low inertia allowed her to be incredibly agile. Shark prepared for either a quick change of direction or a mace strike as he threw his elbow, and the accompanying bladed fin upon it, up towards his opponent's face, such that both hands were still on his sword, ready to swing it up and around at a moment's notice. As he did this he took a brisk forward, reducing the already short time in which Short would be able to escape the counterattack.

IC: Drift - Raptor's Dorm

I pushed into the room, taking in every detail. It was surprisingly cluttered, with tools, test tubes, whatevers littered around. The bird immediately flew up to roost on what appeared to be a makeshift nest. No-one else was there.

"Do we leave a note or something?"

IC: Vlad / Raptor's Room

"I guess ve should." He tapped a test tube inquisitively and it tipped over, leaving him to try fumblingly to catch it and knock over several more in the process. He quickly set them all back up again, thankful they had all been empty.

"Er, zat didn't happen." he told Drift sheepishly. "Let's write zer note. Do you have some paper?"

IC: Era - Empty Dormitory Wing.

"Oh yes, this is the right room," I could feel where Dekako had been, remembered where she had stood, how she had walked. It had been beautiful. And now the three of us were going to do it all over again. "Excited?" I asked Jayar, knowing full well that he was.

I could hear it in his voice. 

IC: Jayar / Empty Classroom

"Yeah," he admitted. Nervous, apprehensive... but definitely excited. The questions were begging to be asked, but so close now, he didn't want to ask them. He would find out soon enough.

There was one question he had to ask, though. "Hoto, you're sure you're okay with this?" He doubted she would call the whole thing off now, but he had to ask.

IC: SHadow

Shadow felt blood trickling down he arm, the armor dented and is now cutting off circulation, and now shes insulting him,

Ha, what do you think thats gonna do. words cannot hurt me.

Shadow realized his arm was going numb, so he took off the shoulder pad, and also observed, that everytime the paint all over her was messed up, she got angrier, so Shadow took his quill out of his pocket, and decided, to scribble all over her paint, 

Anger will only end up in your own demise. This can't hurt you physically, but it will mentally.

Mental attacks, heh, dirty tricks, will only end up in his favor.

So he simply calmly walked forward, and point his quill up, and attempted to scribble all over the paint

Bet shes not expecting this

and hopefully, she didn't dodge this. though it was really easy to dodge.

OOC: he has small pockets in his armor of his upper leg. he keeps his knife, small notebook, and quill in them.

IC: Drift - Raptor's Dorm

I shook my head.

"But whoever lives here does." I pulled out a small slip from a stack of paper and reached for a pen, but then decided against it.

"We need something he or she can see in this mess of a room." I unzipped my satchels and pulled out a small square of bright cyan paint.

iz this yor burd

I wrote to the best of my knowledge. Under that, I scribbled a small image of the bird. It was simple, but still recognisable.

"How's this?"

IC: Vorzorak- Hallway---> Infirmary

Vorzorak decided, if that rahkshi he dragged to the infirmary was conscious, might as well go say hello

So Vorzorak did go and find that rahkshi, and when he found the rahkshi in the infirmary, he said

"Hello, I'm the person who carried you to the infirmary, and shot your attacker with an arrow."

OOC: Interacting with Vaalku,

IC: Tridax was a little rusty on his De-Matoran, a language he had actually bothered to learn, but managed to catch the gist of what Illusive was trying.

 

"The students are fighting Matoran from the village on the Causeway? The school is under attack?"

 

 

IC: The tunnel leading down to the arena cave ended in a portcullis. A simple thing of criss-crossing metal, designed to stop curious Rahi from wandering in more than it was supposed to withstand a siege. 

Kat tore it right out of the wall. 

Naturally this alerted everyone inside, and the Ghosts started flocking to the furthest reaches of the subterranean colosseum to avoid the wrath of Rahkshi. Not Phantom. He and Revenge were locked in a grappling match after the densirahk had thrown himself at the Hunter, so he braced himself, hoisted the student into the air, then hurled him with all his considerable strength at the encroaching fear Rahkshi. He knew this distraction would only be temporary though, so starting advancing on Rider, sword in hand. He was going to finish off the bound Rahkshi before he could be freed and escape...

OOC: Oh boy, time to have some fun~ This will be pretty rough, I'll edit it up later today.

IC Kat: A Density Control Rahk was thrown rather bodily at me Rather than trying to catch him, I leapt, Pushing off of his still flying body with a battle cry that pierced the ears of those around me, as I landed with a forceful impact, my blade missing the amalgation of flesh and metal as it stepped bac to avoid my attack.

I stood, placing myself between Rider and the.....thing.

"Not another step, there, bud."

IC: Vlad / Raptor's Room

"Vell drawn," replied Vlad, gesturing to Drift's sketch of the bird. "But vill you leave zer bird in here, or keep it unt take care of it until zer owner returns? Unt if you're goink to do zer latter, you should put down your dorm number so he can come unt get it vhen he sees zer message."

IC: Rider

Rider struggled desperately, realizing what was happening. "K-Kat, don't, I think he already killed Raptor." Rider said, recognizing Kat's voice.

IC - Arena

Instinctively, Caoutchouc dodged the flying rahkshi, who landed with a rather sickening crunch.

Kat had moved between Rider and their assailant, the rubberrahk strafed clockwise around to the fighter's left side, leaving several bio between them. That blade-thing looked dangerous, who knew it and it's owner's reach? He had Faithful in hand, both hands wrapped tightly around it's grip.

IC: Revenge-Arena

Revenge landed on the ground with a loud thud.  "Thanks for catching me," he mumbled as he got back up on his feet.

IC: Drift - Raptor's dorm

"I'll take it with me, I think." I wrote down my number - 74 - and started to exit out the room.

"Let's go."

IC: Vlad / Raptor's Dorm

"Go vhere?" asked Vlad, following Drift.

IC: Drift - Raptor's Dorm, hallway

"I dunno... hey, I'm kinda new here, maybe you could show me around?"

IC Fog:

Fog reached the Infirmary, where he switched out of flight mode and limped in. "Er, hello?", he asked.

IC: Vlad / Raptor's Dorm --> Hallways

"Okay zen." Vlad took the lead, Ivan of course following along as well. "First I vill show you zer Infirmary, probably zer most useful room in zer whole school." He lead Drift through the halls toward the room of healing.

IC: Sanurahk-Hallway---> Dorm

Sanurahk finally decided to stop wandering aimlessly through the halls and go to his dorm, where he went to bed. nothing interesting.

OOC: Sorry for the wait...

IC: Hoto - Empty Dorm Wing

Hoto slowly and silently followed them into the familiar room. She was having trouble maintaining her grin. She couldn't stop fidgeting, and her clicks continued to rebound off the far away walls. It didn't help her nervousness. She had seen this room with Dekako's eyes. She could still remember the particular... shade of grey of the walls, even if she couldn't see them now. She had stood in this room, her eyes far above where they should have been as Dekako straightened and ran. It had been pure power. And that scared her.

She tried to hold her hands to her sides and put on a semblance of calm as she looked back to Jayar. "Just fine... Let's just... get it over with."

She could do it, for him.

IC: Rain - Gym

He pulled something out of his armor then charged towards her. She braced herself for the impact, expecting a knife to stab into her. Knifes she could handle. It hurt, but it was close range. She would be free to...

No... what was that scratching? She wheeled around to find him holding, not a pen, but a quill? What was he...

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw stains of black ripping through the splendid golds and blues of her back. That was the last straw. He wasn't just trying to fight her. He was purposely insulting her in the worst way possible. The scratches were unintentional, she could acknowledge that. But this... this was lower than low.

She flung her arms at him to throw him away, claws raking the air as they neared his chest. She didn't wait to let him get another stroke in. She ran straight past him to the wall where her staff still lay. The razor-sharp edge, honed to a perfect and beautifully deadly curve, reflected the fury burning in her eyes. She snatched it up and held it at the ready.

This was personal. One of them was not leaving this room alive. And she had no intentions of it being her.

OOC: Don't worry about it. We've got to wait for Roman now anyways.

IC: Jayar / Empty Classroom

Jayar looked at Hoto. He could tell she was nervous about this... so was he. That was kind of a given when you were about to fuse your mind with two other Rahkshi, but Jayar hoped furiously that Hoto would be alright. He replied, concerned, "Okay..."

"So... how do we do this, exactly?" It was Hoto and Era who had Kaita-ed (could Kaita be a verb?) before, after all.

IC: Hoto - Empty Dorm Wing

"I... I don't know," she admitted. "Last time, we just... held hands and... focused."

She felt her faceplate heat up. It sounded ridiculous put that way, but there was no other way to describe it.

IC: Jayar / Empty Classroom

"Oh." Well, it might sound silly, but at least it was easy. And really holding hands to form a fusion was no stranger than the very concept of a fusion. "Well then..." Jayar held out his right hand for Hoto to take, and his left towards Era.

IC: Deadeye 

Deadeye's eyes opened. He appeared to be in the infirmary. He saw Palma and nearly did a runner. He didn't want one of those...interviews.

IC: Drift - Infirmary

"Here's hoping I don't wind up here anytime soon."
