IC: Korvus"Woah," Korvus said, "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm a member of the Ta-Koro guard. What's your name?"
IC: Calebos"I'm uh..C-Calebos...I'm looking for my brother...for quite some time actually..." he said, "I heard someone speak of his name but..he couldn't be a Toa now...can he?"
IC: Korvus"What's your brother's name?" Korvus asked, "that'll certainly be a good place to start."
IC: Calebos"Zacax," he said, "do you know him?"
IC: Tarnok'Yeah. One of his buddies held a knife to my throat." Tarnok commented, as he rounded the corner. He looked at Korvus. "You're just everywhere, now aren't you?"
IC: Calebos"Why?" the little matoran asked
IC: Tarnok"He didn't like my opinion. Of him, or anything else."
IC: Calebos"Do you know Zacax?"
IC: Korvus"That's right," Korvus said, "it was Deusui, wasn't it?"He turned to Tarnok"Tarnok, Calebos," he introduced, gesturing to the blue Matoran, "he's Zacax's little brother."
IC: Tarnok"Ah. Last I saw he was in the Ta-Koro Prison."
IC: Calebos"WHAT?!" he panicked, "oh nonononononononononono!!!"
IC: Korvus"Calm down," Korvus urged, "he was only there to visit Deusui, who as I recall was freed. Someone paid his bail."Before Tarnok could react he said, "I know, I know. I don't like it either."
IC: TarnokTarnok's face didn't change from a cold mask. "Oh really? How unfortunate." An expert eye might notice his fists tightened even further.
IC: Korvus"Indeed," Korvus replied, turning back to Calebos, "I'll ask the prison guards where Zacax and his friend were headed."
IC: Calebos"Please can I come?"
IC: Tarnok"Why not? After all, it's thanks to you we're going to find him." Tarnok's cold tone contained barely a trace of sarcasm, but it wa present.
IC: Korvus "Come on," Korvus said, "let's go."He stood up and beckoned the two other Matoran to follow him.
IC: Calebos"Thank you...mr...."
IC: Korvus"Just doing my job," Korvus said, leading the group to the prison.
IC: CalebosCalebos entered the jail nervously, "I hope Zac's okay...."
IC: KorvusKorvus walked out of a small guard station a few minutes later."The guards say Zacax and Deusui were headed for Po-Koro," he told Calebos, "so we should head that way."
IC: Calebos"okay...let's go," he said
IC: Tarnok"Oh, I'm sure he is." Tarnok said coldly. They were words of reasurance, but they came out wrong. "People like him have a habit of getting out of things scot-free."Helios started walking toward Po-Koro, at Tarnok's direction.
IC: CalebosCalebos jumped onto the crab, as he was slower than the others, plus he was tired from walking around,
IC: Korvus"Actually," he said, holding up a hand to halt Tarnok and Calebos, "I think it would be best if we get a boat."He walked away in the direction of the port.
IC: CalebosCalebos followed the Toa, "So who is this friend of my brother's?"
IC: Tarnok"A prick De-Toa who gets upset if you insult his obvious incompetence with regards to his, apparently, former assassin career."
IC: Calebos"My big brother told me that I'm not aloud to say that word..." he said nervous...he felt weird around that matoran...
IC: KorvusKorvus frowned."I thought you knew Deusui," Korvus said, "but Tarnok is right."He continued to the port in silence.
IC: Calebos"you still shouldn't call people that," he said to Tarnok,
IC: Tarnok"I'm Ussalry, and I've had a bad day. I'm allowed." Tarnok replied, the tone never changing.
IC: Calebos"....not really..." Calebos mumbled, "could we head to my hut in Ga-Koro? It has something we need,"
IC: Tarnok"I just finished destroying a major Makuta minion stronghold, risked death in the process, my CO was discharged from duty despite his heroism, and I was threatened by an arrogant, ungrateful prick with a knife. I'm allowed."
IC: Calebos"Stop calling him that!" Caleb yelled, "It's not nice!"
IC: Korvus"Very well," Korvus said, "but we still have to get a boat."He walked up to a Vortixx and paid her a few widgets to get the group to Ga-Koro. A few minutes later, she brought the boat around and Korvus got on."What are you guys waiting for?"
IC: TarnokTarnok's Ussal stopped short. With it, he towered over Calebos. "Do not trifle with me, Matoran. I have done more to protect fools like you than you will ever know. I have earned my right to annoyance."
IC: Calebos"if..if Zacax were here...he..." he stuttered but then ran to the boat.
IC-Hasil:Alright, pushing the flame ball back at Ara'kas wasn't working. New strategy needed. Computing...computing...code error. Recompiling...recompiling...error within Targeting Matrix. Sweat in eyes. Initiate 'blink' maneuver. Three...two...one...Error resolved.Continue 'attack' maneuver: Y/N?Y.

Hasil pulled out an As'ei again, throwing the knife. It bounced off one wall, before bouncing off another, down to the ground and back up at Ara'kas. Hasil smiled-he had, somehow, pulled that off without a Sanok, throwing the knife so that, if it missed, it would return to him like a boomerang.
IC: Tarnok:Zacax, Zacax, Zacax..." Tarnok grumbled, riding Helios onto the boat. "All he ever talks about."
IC: [stronin]"So yeah, about swords."
