IC: D -Voriki quick-traveled with his mask, and them actually teleported to the air around Prime, slashin at him with his electrically charged trident.
IC: In the meantime, Optimus walked back into Pala-Koro. "What...?" He absorbed the flames. "What disaster occured during my scouting?" OOC: I'll get back to you, BenLuke.
IC: "Okay, I guess." said Kodu nervously. He then walked beside Desilix.
IC: Kethrye - Kethrye's only response was unleashing a beam of ice at Optimus, freezing him to the ground."That's what we want to known," he said, stepping over and glaring at the Aukati leader. "You're the one who went and decide burning down the village would be fun. "
IC (Desilix):Desilix then sacrificed a part of his sound bubble that protected him and Kodu to make a giant wave of vibrations. He then put it over some of the fire like a blanket to literally "shake" the air away from it. This seemed to prove fairly effective, revealing smothered ashes from under the blanket of sound. He continued to move on to the next flame. It was difficult, however, to keep the bubble strong enough to protect him and Kodu from the surrounding fires.
IC: Optimus melted the ice, leaving a puddle, then started absorbing the flames. "That is impossible. I was nowhere near the site of the incident." He avoided drawing any weapons or attacking until it became necessary. "There are many Toa of Fire on the island, Aronis Ril, who is helping absorb the flames, one of them. Though, I do not accuse him, any more than I do you."
IC: Kethrye -"You don't seem to understand," Kethrye replied, glaring. "We all saw you light the fire and battle Ledzel over there. So either you're lying, or you banged your head hard enough and forgot or it wasn't actually you."In any case, you have a lot of explaining to do."
IC-Dendron:"Kethrye," Dendron called, "Why do I feel we've all just been duped?"OOC: Posting it, just like I said I would. ![]()
IC: Optimus looked around for evidence. None but the flames...and the precise cuts of a Blast Rod attack on some burned areas. "I am not the only one in possession of a Blast Rod." Has Naut truly pushed me to develop insanity? No...it's impossible.Nemesis flew back to dodge, while shooting from his Blast Rod at D and creating an aura of high heat, with sparks of flame, so that if D teleported to him again, anything on him flammable would ignite, and his lightning could possibly start a fire on him. "You will have to do something better than that to hit one with the superior ability to maneuver."
ICLaki walked forwards, amazed at this toa's insane attack."I deep-think that optimus must have kind-sort of....twin-brother. Or other-personality. There is no way he is the one who burn-attacked the village."
IC - Kiox - InfernavikaKiox stepped up to Edubard, his hand fingering the sword at his side."Say, Edubard. Would you be up to another duel? I want to hone in my skills a bit more."
IC: D -Voriki said nothing.His cloak ignited from the heat as he fell, whipping above him as he plunged toward the ground. Sparks flew from the flames as he reached for the clasp, undoing it and watching it drift behind him, like a. . . something thin, and on fire. Voriki had more important things to do then waxing poetical. Things like avoiding the fatal fall to the ground.He concentrated on his mask, quick-traveling directly on top of where the Prime hovered and grappling the Toa of Fire. He raised a hand to send a electric bolt through his enemies body. Wincing in pain from the searing heat, Voriki twisted his legs around the Prime's torso, holding fast as he made us of his other hand to reach for his kanohi and throw it far from his opponent's reach.This all happened in mere fractions of seconds, of course. No time for a quip or speech, barely time for thought. And not very coherent thoughts, at that. Diediediediediediediediediediediediediediediediediediediediediediedie. . .OOC: Either gets shocked, or he loses his mask, no way to avoid both. ![]()
IC-Edubard:"Hmm? Oh, of course, good man," Edubard said. "Let us hop down to the ground first, though. Much more stable platform than the ship." That said, the Toa of Air jumped down, drawing his Scotch Broadsword in the process."You make the first pass."
IC: Nemesis was shocked, but he put his hand on his foe's face (Or neck, if he tried to dodge) to spread the current through him as well, while spinning in midair to keep him from getting a grip on the mask or keeping his balance. Plus, it was quite distracting.
IC (Ketan)The Toa of Air and his companion finally arrived on the shores of Le-Wahi.The thick, lush jungle foliage suddenly gave way to rocky beaches and the rolling surf. The smell of life and plants was replaced by the scent of brine and drying seaweed. The worn path the Toa had been followingwas the only sign of any Matoran presence here, save for the dock to which it led.A bored-looking Matoran sat in a small wooden shack, behind which a wooden dock stretched out over the water. A boat bobbed gently on the waves.Ketan walked up to the Matoran, a charming smile on his face. "Good morning, friend."The Matoran looked up, one hand cradling his chin. "Good morning," he replied monotonously. "What can I do for you?""My companion-" Ketan indicated the gluttonous Toa of Gravity, who was more interested in a half-eaten melon than he was in the conversation. "-and I wish to travel to the Kumu Islets.""That's what I'm here for," the bored Matoran replied. "That'll be twenty widgets for the two of you."Ketan's smile widened. "Actually, I was thinking we'd like to travel for free."The Matoran rubbed his forehead and sighed. "What are you, some kind of-"He was choked off as his supply of air was suddenly cut off. He gasped and clasped vainly at his throat, trying to inhale the precious oxygen his body needed to survive. His eyes bulging, he looked pleadingly up at Ketan, who was still standing casually before him, smiling vaguely.Please, he mouthed. Stop.Ketan cupped a hand to his ear. "I'm sorry, what was that? I can't hear you. Sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, you know."The Matoran slumped over, unconscious.The Toa of air released the vacuum he'd immersed the Matoran in, then turned to his companion, who hadn't even noticed the events taking place mere metres from him."Come," Katan said. "Let's get on our way. Xa-Koro awaits."The Matoran awoke half an hour later with a pounding headache to find his boat long gone, carving a trail through the waves towards the hive of scum and villainy known as Xa-Koro.OOC: Ketan and company to the Kumu Islets.
IC: DKethrye -Voriki, no, D grinned. "Toa of Lightning, remember?" he said dryly as the two spun through the air. Suppressing the vertigo, he reached his arm slowly and pried on the side of Prime's mask, attempting to disconnect it from him. ​Harder to remove then I realized, he though, givingit a powerful tug. But it will come free eventually, just a little. More. Force.He faintly realized that talking right then and there wasn't the best of ideas, but he continued anyway. "I have electricity flowing through my veins, do you think as little as I'm using on you could harm me?" The insane Toa of Lightning unleashed a chilling laugh as he fired another pulse of electricity into Prime's chest. "No, you'd be wrong about that."- - - -Kethrye shifted his head, bemused. "Blast rod? What, then, is a blast rod?"OOC: Last post for the night, folks. It's after 12 were I am and I need to get some sleep. ![]()
IC: Nemesis wildly flew back into a tree, slamming D into it. Hard. He had used the shock to get his adrenaline and therefore force pumping.Optimus pulled out his Blast Rod, the description of which was in his profile. "This is a Blast Rod. It focuses elemental power through the thin, straight rods on the end. As elemental power can be fired from a sword, the particular shape of this tool molds it into a focused beam. Judging by some of the attacks here, one was used. Yet I am not the only one in possession of a Blast Rod. There are many."
IC: VorexAfter hiding during the attack, Vorex walked over to where Optimus and the others were. "I think we should kill him. We saw him do it, and even if he was under the influence of someone else, he could end up in their control again. So we either kill him or lock him up somewhere that he'll never get out."
IC: Madrihk"You'd still be hard pressed to find someone that matches your unique appearance," Madrihk growled, raising his arm behind Optimus' back, thinking that as long as two ice-users worked together, there was no way for a single fire user to counteract it."There is always the possibility of a Mahiki-wearer that so happens to have the same equipment as you, or some strange mind control power we don't know about, but until we know for certain you will throw down your weapons this instant."
IC: [Ril]Ril collapsed as all the flames were absorbed into his body. He slowly pulled himself off the ground, stumbled to the lake, and burped, a massive stream of fire bursting out of his mouth.The water began to boil from the heat, steam rising into the air.
OOC: Okay, changed my mind. I'm making an anti-hero instead. :PIC: Vorex"If he refuses to throw down his weapon I could always take it off him using magnetism. I may accidentally take his hands off as well, but that doesn't really matter." Vorex suggested.
IC: MadrihkMadrihk didn't even think for a second before replying."Yes, if he refuses, then do it."
IC: Vorex"Not a problem." Vorex grinned.
IC: Optimus threw all his weapons down. "Do not destroy them. Keep them until I can prove my innocence."
ICLak scurried forwards and picked up a few of Optimus' weapons. "Do we here-have a hut-place for these, Madrihk?" he asked the toa of ice.
IC: ZykeZyke had his gun trained on Optimus."Don't move unless you want a metal spike lodged in your brain," he threatened.
IC(Ledzel)
"I think the fire is almost out; keep it up," he says to the others; his eyes half way open. From the smoke, the battle, his Mask powers, and the elemental energy he used the Toa was exhausted, but he had to keep it up.Thankfully we have this new being helping us.-Mef Man
OOC: I would just like to say that makes no sense at all, either by real world or Bionicle realism.IC: D -But D was all ready gone, standing on the ground nearby as Prime collided head on with the tree. He cackled manically, tacking his mask. "That looked painful, I hope there were no broken bones!" he said, laughing again as he shot bolt after bolt of lightning towards the other being's body. "Although I can't say you didn't deserve after all that impoliteness back at the village, I'd say."Oh, also: GIVE ME YOUR FACE!" he shouted, teleporting up and grabbed onto his opponent's mask, the force of gravity pulling him down only increasing the downward pull on his mask. It was only so long D could hold on, but then, there was only so much time the mask would remain connected to Prime's head. . .IC: Nemesis wildly flew back into a tree, slamming D into it. Hard. He had used the shock to get his adrenaline and therefore force pumping.
IC: Demetrius rose from his bunk with a yawn, stretching. He'd traveled all night to get here; obviously he'd deserved a nap. If they'd needed him for whatever duties he had now at this spirit-forsaken camp, well, that was their problem. Though he did suppose a good first impression might be...beneficial.He reached for his hammer, which leaned against the wall of the hut, and paused. Something was...burning? Yes, it certainly smelled like it, but...He grabbed his hammer and headed outside.What the karz.
IC: Kodu stood beside Desilix, watching the fight.
IC: Vorex"Sorry mate, but we're not seeing any proof yet, so unless you're about to drop a frickin' bomb, I think we're just gonna smash 'em up."
OOC:TNG, you completely ignored my earlier attack on "Optimus" via vaccum.IC: Vorok turned to this new Optimus. Suddenly, the weapons began to float up, well out of reach of someone unless they could fly. "Suspended in mid-air ought to be good for your weapons. Now, how's about we add this stupid one to our to our ever-growing group of suspicious captives?" Cy followed the retreating "Optimus" away from the village with his Kadin. He continued to maintain the vaccum.
IC: Lerongu, noticing a small fire near him, grabbed a bucket of water, and threw it on the fire.
IC: Vorex"How about we bury him alive? He died in the fire, poor soul." Vorex smirked. It was impossible to tell whether or not he was being serious.
IC-Grochi:"Dendron, I don't think they listened to you," Grochi growled"I don't really care, I don't talk too much around these people anyways." Dendron sighed. "So, brother, what's been happening with you since you left?"Grochi shrugged, trying to avoid any mentle discomfort. "I, er...I got recruited to a pirate's crew," Grochi said. Dendron nodded-apparently he'd heard about it. "I also lost my Wakizashi, but I found Sidiros' old knife," the elder brother said. He tossed Dendron the knife."I think you ought to keep it, while I do something right now," he said, as he teleported in front of Optimus, which put him in-between everybody and the larger Toa."The 'innocent until proven guilty' is a good creed to follow, Toa," he growled to Vorex. "Nor do I think you should all be so stupid as to assume that he is the one that did this." Grochi, meanwhile, was signing something with his hands to Optimus-something that the larger Toa would hopefully translate into 'Run. Fast.'
IC: Vorex"I'm not being quick to assume he's the one that did this. I just think we should kill him. Or bury him alive. Second option means we can dig 'im up later if he's telling the truth."
IC-Grochi:Grochi facepalmed."You realize the second is just as likely to kill him as the first?"
IC: Vorex"Yes, but if you hadn't spoken up they likely wouldn't have."
IC:"Enough talk of killing, or you'll be floating higher than anyone ever has." Vorok's dark tone was unpleasant, and it probably would have intimidated a Muaka.
IC: Madrihk"New guy: Psychometry. Now. Grab his launcher and pray that you see where it's been for the past ten minutes. If it was right here, firing at us, then me and my dear deputy leaders shall have a quick vote on whether we kill him immediately or not. If the mask power shows nothing, I want it inspected by hand to see if it has fired recently."Madrihk looked around at the assembled crew."Where's D? And Cy? Didn't they chase after the perpetrator mere minutes ago?"
