IC: Rodimus (Ta-Wahi):Rodimus sighed at this, "And the ones that Sideswipe killed, The seekers or something like that. We'll have to ask him if we ever find him. Above all, this is one heck of a mess we got, if all of them are alive, they probably outnumber us ten to one."
IC: Springer"Darn. Well my kill count just took a nosedive."
IC: Rodimus (Ta-Wahi):Rodimus chuckled, "Don't worry Springer, since they're back, you can kill them again."He turned his head to look at Prime, "Tahuva, how are you fairing these days?"
OOC: When exactly was Tahuva not outnumbered? (Aside from just now, he always had the numerical disadvantage.)IC: "I fare well, it would seem. I now go by the name Optimus Prime. So, you are now Rodimus Prime? I am proud of you. Tell me how it came to pass." Finally, some good news. He knew the young Hot Rod had potential, and now it had been quite obviously realized.
IC: Rodimus (Ta-Wahi):"You could say that," Rodimus replied, "I got the job since I was the best qualified, and it's been hectic. The Phantoms were overrunning us, until they retreated, that is."
IC: "We must gather our forces. This stalemate cannot last. One of my troops is missing, and another is in prison." He considered his words before saying them now. "His name is...Barricade. He betrayed the Phantoms when he saw the error of his ways. He taught me that even the wisest can be in error...for I would have destroyed him had no one intervened."
IC: SpringerSpringer raised an eyebrow. "Huh. You know, now I think I'm glad I stayed with Rodimus."
IC: "You must admit, it would be better to acknowledge my faults than to pretend to be the shining star, never faltering, never failing. Rodimus could teach you that. In our time here, we have grown to see that the Phantoms will never leave our peace alone. They must be destroyed...no matter the cost."
IC: SpringerSpringer nodded. "Believe me, I screw up, and my team doesn't let me forget it."His face turned serious. "Before this goes further, however, I must clarify something. With all due respect, I don't answer to you. I don't even technically answer to Rodimus. I answer to Ultra Magnus, who answers to Rodimus."
IC: Optimus remembered Ultra Magnus. He had considered him a worthy successor if his untimely death were to come. "What is his location? I must know, for the Phantoms are probably regrouping as we speak. We must do the same. I suggest the Kini-Nui as the location. Rodimus, will you work with me to defeat the Phantoms?"
IC: Rodimus (Ta-Wahi):Rodimus nodded in reply, "Yes, we must be united if we're to stop them. Besides, Optimus, you know this place better than we do, lead the way. Shall we travel about first, finding the rest of our forces? Or go directly towards this, "Kini-Nui?"
IC: "The others will not know where to go."Ratchet sniffed. "I sense the Phantoms are mobilizing.""What regions have you sent your Toabots to? We must gather everyone...and call in my own personal squad of Wreckers."OOC: I'll make the Scottish DOTM Trio.
IC: Rodimus (Ta-Wahi):"I sent Sideways ahead to scout, but there must have been a problem as when it was time for him to report, as he didn't return. We had to move on without waiting for him. If I had to make a guess, I'd say we're scattered throughout this landmass, others are on other island, fighting the Phantoms elsewhere."
IC: Springer"We weren't so much sent as scattered. We don't know where anyone is. Some might have missed the island completely." Springer surmised."And yeah. We sent Sideways to scout. I still question that wisdom."
IC: "It's time to get reinforcements, then. I believe the wisest strategy would be to gather my three most loyal Wreckers, and then split into scout teams. Each one of us will go with one of the trio, should we follow this plan. These Wreckers are rude, rather annoying, and loud, I must warn you. However, when the Phantoms attack, you will never regret bringing them along. They dwell in this very Koro."OOC: Making profiles now.
IC: Rodimus (Ta-Wahi):Rodimus stood up, "Well, no sense in wasting time, let's find these wreckers and get them. We need to hurry if we want to stop the Phantoms."
IC: SpringerSpringer sighed. "Never a dull moment. Lets; go find these wannabes."
IC: "Right then. Let's get a move on, Raion and the others already know where we're going." Gyren muttered as he turned to face the Ni-Matoran. The young Toa yawned and stood up. He stretched his arms before heading out the door of the room and down the stairs to the lobby of the inn. He waited at the door, ready to depart.
IC:Raiden walks into the weapon shop, that was called "Soli's swords". he walks around. "Hello?' "Helloooo!"
IC: Morok"Well I am very bored, I have noting to do, nothing to fight, OH that and I AM KARZING STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!"
OOC: Wannabes? You've got to be kidding me.IC: "They are true Wreckers, Springer. You may remember them...they did, after all, spill wet cement on your feet as a prank once." Optimus led them to the hut. "Be warned. They're a bit paranoid." He knocked on the makeshift door...Roadbuster violently burst out of the door. "OY! WE'RE KINDA BUSY! NO SOLICIT'ERS!""Wot the...""I'LL BOWL YA, NANCY WANKERS!" Topspin snapped his hand-claw weapons."Wreckers, stop!" Optimus yelled. "We are your allies!"Leadfoot jumped on Optimus. "TAHUVA! OLD BUDDY!" He gave a slightly drunken snort resembling a laugh. "Whatcha dorks been up to?""I go by Optimus Prime now, Leadfoot. We have bad news.""About tym' too! It's ben' borin' without them freaks!""You knew?""Well a'course we knew! I can smell them Phantemz' a myle away!"Leadfoot laughed. "Why ya thinkin we busted the door out lyke that?"Dino snorted. "I assumed it was just because you're a-crazy.""Wreckers, we require your assistance." Optimus was trying to sound nice in the face of utter ridiculousness."Just give us a minute to gear up, ya ninnies. We'll be out in 5." Roadbuster went back inside the hut.Optimus nodded. "Toabots, meet my personal squad, the Bay Wreckers." OOC: Couldn't think of a better name for the division than that. Remember that all Wrecker chars should know and probably dislike them.
OOC: Springer can be arrogant. So sue me.
IC: SpringerSpringer facepalmed. "Not these guys." He looked again, just to make sure he was right. Then he groaned. "Not again."
IC: Baneless finised watching. The toa was obviously capable of taking care of himself, so he left for Ga-Wahi-Bane
IC: TawaraTawara followed after packing her satchel. "So, how long will it take to get to Le-Koro?"OOC: It should be at LEAST a week's worth of walking, given that it's all the way on the other side of the island. Of course, most of that can be timeskipped.
I.C."I am Tradoris, and this is my absent-minded brother, Vulcanon.""Huh? you say something?""What type of weapon do you believe you will be getting?"IC: Raiden + pet ussal crabfollowed Vulcanon quietly,and was impressed that Vulcanon found one."Thanks. BY any chance,would you mind giving me your name?"
IC: Rodimus (Ta-Wahi):"Relax Springer, better they be on our side than the Phantoms," He said, "Besides, I'm not their biggest fan either."
IC: Springer"But you weren't there, man." Springer replied. "You weren't there." He leaned over, and whispered so no one but Rodimus could hear. "After I met them, I seriously considered changing the team name, to avoid association."
IC: Cysero (Ta-Koro)"Oh, yeah, sure," Cys muttered. "Lemme just reach into my bag full of wooden horses and toss you over one. I know I keep it somewhere around here..."-Teezy
IC: "I have no idea. I just glide places, but since you can't we'll have to travel by foot. Or Ussal. We'll see when we get there." Gyren replied as he opened the door. He looked out into the quiet streets of Ta-Koro. Shopkeepers were just beginning to open their stalls and the only footsteps one could hear came from the occasional guardsman.
IC: Tawara"Lead the way."When the pair came to the gates, the great, gray walls towering over them, a guard shouted down, "If y'wish to leave the village, state your information!" His voice sounded tired and hoarse."Oh, great, this guy again," Tawara muttered. "I'm Tawara, the Ni-Matoran who came through earlier! Remember me?"
IC: Angelus (Ta-Koro)Angel snuck quietly back into the room as the first rays of sunlight began to scrape the dark streets of Ta-Koro. Tuara was still asleep, he noted with a small smile. She looked perky, ready to fight, even in her sleep.He moved over to a small oven and began to prepare waffles.-Teezy
IC: Tuara - Ta-Koro - InnTuara's eyes opened. Sitting up, she looked over to Angelus. Looking over to him, she smiled before he noticed she was awake and turning around.Not totally out of the ordinary. But what was out of the ordinary was that her right eye was not red like her left eye. It was instead a deep green.
IC: Angelus (Ta-Koro)"Hey, there, gorgeous," he called out behind him. "Jikal and I did some prowling last night, and we ended up finding Dorian's--"As he turned with the first of the waffles, they suddenly flew out of his hand. Angel's hand was already on his own bloodstained dagger, and his deep blue eyes were glowing in rage."Lay down. Now."-Teezy
IC: Tuara - Ta-Koro - InnTuara's face went from happy to confused and worried. Reluctantly, Tuara lowered herself back down, "What?!"
IC: Angelus (Ta-Koro)"Your eyes..." he muttered, tearing up in rage and frustration. I had thought she was back... "Look."He plucked a hand mirror from the table next to Tuara's bed and handed it to her."See for yourself."-Teezy
IC-Hasil:Where Hasil stood with Ara'kas, doing absolutely nothing except looking cool, a waffle suddenly landed after being flung out a window near them. Hasil turned quickly and looked up, seeing only Angelus's back, and a sligh glint of light on the ceiling, most likely from a dagger."Oh, not this again," he muttered to himself. He then made a pact with himself not to intervene in any way unless he knew something wasn't just going wrong, but going very wrong.
IC: Fyriin:After a period of stasis, Fyriin decided to reveal herself once again. With new prey, the hungry Krish stalked through the shadows of Ta-Koro, looking for a Matoran to feed on. Her stolen crossbow was out, along with her endless amount of metals at her control, Fyriin would make herself feared- permanently.OOC Hungry, Psychotic, killer Krish for interaction. XDDon't worry, she was accepted a long time ago.
IC: Tuara - Ta-Koro - InnTuara took hold of the mirror and titled it to the proper angle. Upon seeing her one eye a green she sat up again, shock coming over her.Upon sitting up, she let her legs fall off the side of her bed before she dropped her head in her hand, lazily holding onto the mirror, letting it rest lightly on the floor.Tuara held up the mirror again, this time closer. She blinked a few times, realizing it was not going away. She slammed the mirror on the floor."Great."
IC: Angelus (Ta-Koro)"Yeah. It is, isn't it?"He was pacing around in a circle."Any brilliant explanations on why this could have happened? Preferably ones that didn't involve dancing around in a Mark Bearer's mind?"-Teezy
IC: Tuara - Ta-Koro - InnTuara just shook her head. She put her face in her hands, peeking through her fingers. She didn't say anything. Instead, she just watched Angelus pace around the room."Burning out right?"
