IC: Hantak ran down the road. He looked back at the fight going on behind him. He just had to get out of Ta-Koro, then he would be free
OOC: This isn't really a problem with what you wrote, but it still applies for future reference: If the blades were to have hit their designated locations, Dino would still probably get kicked somewhere. I'll conveniently leave it out here to avoid complications
IC: ZarDino's timing was slightly off though, and his blades simply gashed the side of both my legs. The lightning launched me into the air, however, and I landed flat on my face a short distance away. But the pain was overshadowed by, of all things, my entertainment. Yes, I was smiling.Because you see, when the net had flown towards the Guardsmatoran, it had electrocuted one or two of them into serious injury."Checkmate, you say? Considerably..." I smirked as I dusted myself off, waiting to see the look of horror on his face. That is, I hoped there would be a look of horror.
IC: However, Dino was by far the least kind of the Xanthium. Barricade since his conversion was kinder, though more obnoxious. "Get out of here! All of you! I'll take him myself!" His hubris was surfacing, and his rage more so. He shot a bolt of lightning into the clouds, then absorbed the lightning from the chain reaction it caused to charge a massive attack. He made another lightning cage around Zar and shrunk it in about one second, charged with the lightning from all those clouds.
OOC: I'm not certain whether that would work or not, since I dunno much about clouds and lightning, but if you can provide a solid explanation of how it works then huzzah.IC: ZarThis guy was pretty annoyed, and it showed. made an expanding dome of plasma as soon as he created the lightning cage, and managed to keep it back long enough to make a gap and dive through with minor burns."I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got business to attend to, if you don't mind." I informed him dully, inspecting my wings.
OOC: Very well. Clouds at all times contain dormant charged particles, therefore they carry charges. In a storm, these particles trigger each other and produce lightning. Dino triggered it with his own lightning, and so released the lightning in the clouds, and absorbed it. Sort of like an investment, he put in energy and was paid back more than he had given.IC: No sooner had Zar done that than Dino had sent lightning through his plasma to him. As plasma was a conductor of electricity, his karma would come now. Now, rather than lightning-charged plasma to Dino, there was plasma-charged lightning to Zar. "REVERSION! KARMA! A-HA-HA-HA!!"
IC: JorgosFor hundreds of years, he have been lived on a Kumu-islet. But now he sees, that the time is right, to kill an old Toa foe: Ganter. As he rided through the island with footwalk, he finally arrived to Ta-Wahi. As he lurked out of eyesight, he shooted an energy beam to Ganter.IC: GanterAs I trying to locate the source of the familiar aura, a beam is hitting me pretty painful, with I yelling in pain, then falling to my knees.
IC"So you say..." said Trad.
IC: Tawara"Who's that?" came a muffled voice from inside the room.
OOC: That makes sense then, nice job on the science, although there was a thing by Tuck saying that you should be careful with science, because of the low tech-level on Mata-Nui. I guess Dino might have done it before though.IC: ZarThis was getting tiresome. And, a few seconds later, it got quite painful too, as no sooner had I regained my footing when I was blasted in the back with my own plasma, which did little to pain me, but the electricity certainly did."You're a feisty one... We will meet again, when I'm not so very busy. By the way, your prisoner just escaped, just so you know."And with that, I took off into the ash-ridden air above the village, flying off to the other side to lose my foe.OOC: If Dino chooses to go after Hantak, then I could fight Tahuva Optimus. If not, then we shall resume fighting I 'spose ![]()
OOC: Sounds good to me!IC: Hantak was greeted by a crowd of Ta-Koro Guardsmen at the gate, and Dino activated his mask. He snuck up on him from behind and fired a lightning bolt.Optimus noticed Ganter starting to leave. Just as well. Insanity was not something he was tolerant of, unlike most things. He looked to the sky and saw lightning. Then a strange figure flying. A battle? Perhaps...
IC: Hantak dodged the lightning bolt. He then Shot out his impact vision at one of the guards. He turned around to face Dino, and again shot out his impact vision.
OOC: You weren't supposed to know Dino is there. He's also still invisible. He's wearing a Volitak.IC: Dino dodged the impact vision and performed the lightning cage trick again. Deactivating his mask, he charged it to a thousand volts, literally, and shrunk it in one second. "I'VE HAD-A JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOU, SCREW THEE PAROLE!"
IC: ZarWell, the village turned out to be even more of a treasure trove of information than I expected. Y'see, I was just leaving an alleyway when I spotted the old Xanthium leader: Tahuva Pyro. I hid behind a small hut, and checked the file as I spied on him. It was him. Everything matched, even the sketch.So, I thought it was time to see what all the fuss was about, and have my own try at taking him down. From Zeltroth's profile I saw that he didn't fair well against this guy, so it was time to see if Zaruthan could last longer.I casually walked from my hiding place and tapped Tahuva on the shoulder."Why hello, my good sir. Did you see the lightning? Terrible. I saw someone of my species flying away from it. Did you see where they went? I need to have a long chat with them, if you know what I mean." I said as innocently as I could. I am a pretty good actor, if I do say so myself.OOC: Him being a good actor isn't fact, but it still ![]()
OOC: Oh, I forgot.IC: Hantak was again in a lightning cage. Due to the voltage of the lightning, he was knocked unconscious almost instantly.
IC: "It's Gyren. I'm supposed to share the room with you." Gyren said from the outside.
IC: RaidenRaiden was disgusted on how no one said any words of direction,much less look at him. after all,with his green armour in a sea of red,He's sure to be noticed. He marches out of the inn,determined to find Soli's swords. OOC: please interact while Raiden is walking through Ta-Koro!
IC: "What species, exactly?" What a strange-looking creature. But freedom is the right of all sentient beings, therefore... "I have not seen anyone. Why is it you seek them? Please tell me your name. I am Optimus Prime."OOC: Let the confusion begin. XDIC: Dino dragged Hantak into a maximum-security reinforced cell. He said the the guard, "Keep an eye on this one. Call me if he does anything you don't like."
IC: Zar"What?!" my heart sank. I really hoped this guy didn't have a twin or something, "I mean, um, my name's Zaruthan, you can call me Zar. I and he are Mystix. You may have heard of us... I'm not proud of what my species has done. My armour has been removed, as you can see, because I was banished from the tyrannical reign of Ignotus, the Emperor of sorts. I am following him because he too was banished, though for different reasons. I want to unit my fellow exiles, and take down the dictator Ignotus once and for all."OOC: All rubbish, of course
Treachery FTW
IC: "I...see." Something about his tone didn't sound right. "I'm sorry, I haven't seen a member of your species at any time in my life before today." Optimus scratched his nose. Something didn't seem right, but what? "I too have a very flawed heritage...though at times more noble than you could imagine."
IC: ZarFlawed heritage, eh?"I could swear I've seen you before somewhere..." I said, trying to act unknowing. Maybe I could slip it out of him, if it is true.
IC: "Hmm..." Optimus grew more and more suspicious by the second. "Why is it you panicked when I told you my name?"
IC: RaidenAs Raiden walks through the streets, he finds a strange find. In a small alley, there lies a battered, small Ussal crab. It seems scared of Raiden,but that does not stop him from helping it. he walks slowly towards it,resulting with the crab cowering away.suddenly, Raiden has an idea. he looks around,and sees a small Hoto bug. he grabs the Hoto, and offers it to the crab as food. the crab takes the offering and goes up towards him. Raiden rubs the ussal's shell for a bit, and then walks off. Soon after, the ussal follows him. Looks like I have a pet now, Raiden thought.OOC: interaction please!
IC: Zar"Panicked? Pfftt... I didn't panic." this guy was good. He saw through my acting skills. My acting skills. It was getting tense in there, and not just because of the heat, "Why do you have a flawed heritage? What happened?"
OOC: Oh, here it comes.IC: A long pause. "If you must know...we were attacked. One of the original sons of my ancestor was corrupted and fell into Protodermis. Then there was pure insanity. My own brother once betrayed me--" Optimus noticed the look on Zar's face. It was not one you would normally find on someone listening to a story from curiosity. "What is it? Are you feeling all right?"
OOC:
IC: Zar"Oh, I'm alright. Go on, go on." I said, perhaps a little too hastily, but hey, this is me we're talking about here. It was just the right amount of hastiness.
OOC: LOL.IC: "He attacked this very Koro. Eventually...I had to kill him."OOC: I gotta go, so post your reply and I'll reply to it tomorrow!
IC: Zar"YES! I mean... No..." cover was blown. Oh Karz.It was so worth it.
IC: Tawara"Fine."
IC: Hantak woke up in the cell. This cell looked... different. He attempted to use impact vision on the door, but the door was too strong, and the impact vision did nothing. "I should have known not to attack a warrant officer." Hantak said to himself.
IC: [Atonal]"Oi big red guy, who's the bat-guy?"
IC: Wraith - Inn, Ta-koro -Wraith wasn't in the mood for sleeping, he decided to just stay in the common room in the inn, sitting by a fire. He set his sword on a table beside him and just stared at it for the longest time, his mind still going over his fight with Hiemalis and how next time things would be different.
OOC: Oops. I forgot about Wraith. I'll remember him next time.IC: Kitsune, Ta-Koro"Either!" The entergetic Toa of Gravity said, smiling and shrugging as she laid her travelling bag on a small table at the far side of the room.
IC: JikalJikal nodded, and lay down his cloak and sword. Aside from the guitar he carried, those were his only possessions.The Toa sat down in an armchair with his guitar, and began to play. How'd it come to thisAfter all we've been throughTwo of a pairNow on opposite sidesFrom the very startWith honor we've DueledWatched each other's back and we battled with prideWe are closer than brothersAnd now we have to fight each otherAnd we trust our fate to the Heart of the CardsNo matter whatWe'll let the games beginNo matter whatMay the best man winNo matter whatWe're in this togetherNo matter whatWe'll be friends foreverJikal simply played whatever came to him, and his face became more solemn with every word. Though Kitsune didn't know it, Jikal was pondering memories, and a few specific ones at that.
IC: Kitsune, Ta-KoroKitsune smiled as Jikal played his instrument. Enjoying the music, she undressed to undergarments, and crawled underneath her covers, keeping her head above the blankets, so that she could listen.
IC: Angelus (Ta-Koro)Angel's eyes snapped open in the middle of the night, fluttering several times before he gained full consciousness. He looked to his left and saw Tuara, sleeping soundly in her own bed. He stood up, slipping on a new v-neck and looking in the mirror. His own reflection stared back at him hauntingly; behind him stood a holographic image of a Toa of Lightning. One Angelus knew well."Hello, Kinvex."-Teezy
OOC: Wait, you just spontaneously summoned Kinvex, forcing me to RP him... why? :PIC, Kinvex: "Hey, buddy," said the ghostly specter. "How's it going?"
IC: Angelus (Ta-Koro)"What's it like?" he asked, staring into his own eyes, not moving his gaze away from the mirror. "The whole death thing, the afterlife..."-Teezy
IC: Gyren opened the door and walked in. He collapsed on the other bed, tired from all that's happened.
IC, Kinvex: Kinvex sighed. "The afterlife... is complicated. More complicated than you imagine. Passing on is different for everybody. Look at me, I'm dead and I haven't fully passed on yet." He said this with a chuckle. "I've seen things. Things you wouldn't see even in your wildest imagination."
IC: Angelus (Ta-Koro)"I'll bet."There was a terse silence. Angel's eyes and Kinvex's both turned towards the sleeping Tuara: Kinvex's in real life, Angel's in the mirror. His reflection still bored into his soul, daring him to ask the question he really wanted to."Did you love her?"-Teezy
