IC: Dervian started to laugh. "Well, I've been unwanted before, but trust me, I'm worth it. My skills are UNBELIEVABLE!"Tahuva glared. "You're right, I don't believe it." He looked at Garth. "I didn't invite him, and this guy isn't gonna leave without a fight.""Yeah, he accepted me because he's scared!"Tahuva punched Dervian in the face. "Yeah, so scared I did that."Dervian spat blood. "Oh, you wanna go, fatso?!" He knew perfectly well that Tahuva was fit, but there was no way in Karz he'd admit it.Tahuva pulled out his sword. "I don't suggest you do that.""Yeah, well I DO suggest it!" He pulled out both his swords, slashed the air, and sent two blades of wind at Tahuva.Tahuva was hit straight in the face, but he didn't see any blade. "What the karz?!" He swung at Dervian. "I'M IN CHARGE HERE, RUNT!"The fight had begun. Tahuva's slash missed, but fire came out the side of his sword and burned Dervian's back. Dervian tripped Tahuva with multiple wind blades. Tahuva rolled to the side while drawing his axe, then shot two blasts of fire. Dervian shot wind blades into the flames, splitting them and disarming Tahuva."Wind blades...so that's what he's doing!" Tahuva pulled out his shield and picked up his sword. Tahuva shot a fire blast at Dervian. Dervian shot another wind blade, but Tahuva saw it coming and spun. The blade hit his shield, and his spin tossed the blade aside. Sword extended, he shot an arc of fire while spinning and hit Dervian all over. He shot another fire blast.Dervian had a newfound respect for Tahuva. "Well, nice move...but..." He spun the wind in his hand as this strands of wind, creating a tight, spinning, sphere. Four tiny wind blades protruded from the sphere. "WIND RELEASE SPIRALLING SPHERE!"Tahuva held his shield up, and Dervian held his sphere out. The sphere hurled away all the flames, which Tahuva absorbed before they could damage the village. Dervian thrust the sphere at Tahuva, who held his shield up, but..."WHOO-HOOHOO! YEAH!" Dervian drilled the sphere into Tahuva's shield, destroying it and nearly removing Tahuva's hand."ARGH!" Tahuva pulled back his hand and swung. Dervian was left wide open, and Tahuva's flaming slash hit him in the side of the head. "I rise, you fall."Dervian fell to the ground. "I SURRENDER!"Tahuva helped Dervian up. "Tell you what, we'll call it even if you teach me your moves. If I could do those moves with fire...""No way! Those are my custom--"Tahuva looked Dervian in the eyes. "I'll buy ya noodles.""DEAL!" Dervian ordered 2 large bowls and declared that Tahuva would pay."THAT MANY?! GAH..." He paid the merchant and left. "Well, Garth, lead on."OOC: This is fun. XD
IC: "My apologies, Eamzeron" Dekuna replied. "Now can we proceed? Already, the villagers are going about their business and those with information may be moving to other parts of the island."
IC: Eamerzon: Le-Koro:"Fine bossy pants! Who wants to go with eccentric here?" Eamerzon pointed to herself.
IC: Havon, Mimira"Actually, all we have to do is go to the airfield and ask on of the gukko pilots there where Snelly is, they'd be the first to know anything." Havon began to walk out of the room. "Yep, and my gukko is there, I need to feed Misty!" Mimira chirped. She tagged along with Havon.
IC: Eamerzon: Le-Koro:"Wee!" Eamerzon squeaked as she followed the other two.
IC: "Fair enough" was the only response the toa of sonics could think of, and followed the pair out of the room. Perhaps I underestimated them.
IC: (Gamal)"Thanks for the pillow fight," she said to the beings who were leaving the room.Finally. Some peace and quiet.She smiles as she walks back to her room. The Ga-Matoran opens the door to her room and undresses herself once again and goes back to bed.

IC: KadonI considered his point of view. "Makes sense. I like to think that destiny is fluid... your choices do affect it, and a few may alter it. But for the most part it stays the same."The storm was definetely letting up now. I got up and stretched a little. I couldn't wait for the sun to come out and dry everything off.
IC: Eamerzon: Le-Koro:"What's it like riding a Gukko, anyway?" Eamerzon asked Hexon and Mimira.
OOC: New character! MuahahahahhahahaIC: Xxeth, 'the traitor'Zadron's thoughts as well as Echelon's and Vidar's were interrupted by a chuckle."Having stalker issues Zadron? My my, I think you're losing your touch." Xxeth, a well known mercenary for hire among the followers of the Makuta, was sitting on a nearby branch. He waved."We have much to talk about. All of us." He grinned wickedly. IC: Mimira, Havon"It's amazing! It's like all you're worries are way down below you, and you feel that rush in your heart. And butterflies tickling you're stomach!" Mimira said excitedly."Something like that....To be honest I've never needed a gukko to fly, there's a reason I wear a Kadin." He pointed to his mask.IC (Zadron)Zadron indulged the lizardman in the trees in his belief that he hadn't been seen. Of course Zadron had spotted him. The Vortixx knew just as well how to remain unseen (if not better) and naturally, he also knew exactly what to look for.Although admittedly, he probably wouldn't have seen this being had he not caught a glimpse as he shot up the tree after Uar's attack. He was also a little annoyed that he hadn't taken the hint from Zadron's treatment of their previous eavesdropper. But at least this one wasn't mindlessly attacking them yet. Perhaps he wished to join Echelon and Vidar on their quest...
IC: Eamerzon: Le-Koro:"That's why I wear a Kualsi. I don't even fly." Eamerzon chuckled, then sighed after she realized she laughed.
IC: Drome"I think it's not only fluid, but the path it takes isn't set. It flows as freely as water across a flat area, it's path having no set endings. Every choice sends it down a new path, even a persons choice of words can swiftly change the whole universe."I shrugged slightly, that was my opinion. Funny, I had been awake so long I wasn't feeling as tired anymore. I knew that wasn't a good thing, but it was good enough for me.
IC: Ghar-Knel the Vortixx's body washed up on the shore of Le-Wahi. It was a while before he woke up, but eventually, he did. He sat up and wrenched the crossbow bolt out of his face and picked up his rifle that had washed up with him. Where to now? He had lost Solaris, Kahua, and Miptel, and they had probably taken the money. Oh well, he'd let them go for a while. Now to find some company. He needed first aid.And a bath. He was filthy with the disgusting salt water. Ghar-Knel shouted out into the jungle for help. He needed it.
IC: (Gamal)Gamal stares at the ceiling, bored.Now, I'm wide awake.She rolls her eyes as she stands back up. She stretches once again.I might as well keep travelling since I'm awake.The Ga-Matoran walks back to her armor and places the plates on herself once again. She reaches for her pillow and other supplies as she walks back out into the hall.After leaving a few trinkets on the desk for the few seconds sleep, she walks back outside and travels toward Ta-Wahi once again.But, a sudden yell for help wrenched her away from her path."Who was that?" she muttered as she stopped the ussul crabs. She looks into the jungle, spotting someone (or something) in the thick brush. "Who's there?" she asked as she grabs her kholi stick.OOC: That's you, Solaris.-Mef Man
IC: Tahuva turned to the sound of someone asking for help. "What?"Dervian glared at him. "You're going to invite MORE people?!""Well, that's how YOU got here. Anyway..." He rushed on to help. "HEY! DON'T FORGET ME!" He chased after Tahuva.Tahuva reached the Vortixx. "A Vortixx, eh? What do you need?""If it's noodles, Tahuva here can pay!"Tahuva elbowed Dervian in the stomach. "Knock it off, Dervian! This man needs some first aid from the look of things, and...a face transplant?"Dervian sniffed. "He needs a bath, too!"Tahuva couldn't help but laugh a little. "Maybe so. My name is Tahuva. This is my tag-along mental patient (not really), Dervian. What's yours, and how can we be of service?"OOC: Sorry about this, Skar, but this is a great opportunity for Tahuva to meet Kahua and learn how to manipulate small particles of his element. And finish off Ghar-Knel for Kahua once he learns the truth about him. ![]()
Ic: A matoran ran up to the bulletin board, one of many across the treetop village, and nailed a conspicuous flyer on it. Bright red and black, it spelled out entertainment for some and trouble for others. It read, simply:
And that was it. The matoran ran away, leaving the sign to do the rest.
IC: (Uar)Uar allowed himself a silent sigh of relief. He then noticed a vague figure in the jungle, and for a moment, he got a clear glimpse of it. It looked a lot like a hybrid between a Toa and a reptile. First this Tryna user accumulating undead minions for some unknown purpose, and then a lizard-man... What's that thing's species anyway? he thought as he observed Zadron (who appeared to have noticed the being too, but hardly showed it) and the lizard-man, wondering what would happen.
IC:MihaMiha just followed Mimira, wondering what on earth she had gotten herself into.OOC:So just who is Miha now traveling with? I'm confused...
IC: Ghar-Knel heard a rustling. There was someone nearby. He turned on his (slightly damaged) thermal image headgear. There was someone standing not to far away. A Ga-Matoran according to the heat signature. He picked up his rifle and walked over."My name is Ghar-Knel," the Vortixx said. "I kind of need some medical help. And who might you be?"
OOC: What do you mean? Their the same people that were in the inn. Havon found Mimira last night and brought along a bunch of random people from Ko-Wahi. Unless you mean something else. :confused:IC: Mimira, HavonThey arrived at the airfield. They first went to check the gukko nests at Mimira's insistence."Ya Misty!" She squealed as she ran up to her Gukko, Mistweaver. The nest across from it, which has 'Destiny' written on it, was noticeably empty. "So, Snelly isn't here then. He could be anywhere on the island." Havon sighed."Oh Snelly left only yesterday with a group of Toa and a few matoran." Said some Le-matoran who was currently cleaning the empty nests. "Do you know where he was headed? Why did he leave so soon?""Oh, you don't know do you? Tamaru was murdered yesterday, by...minions of the Makuta."Havon was a bit taken back by this. "Tamaru....is...dead?" He turned to Mimira. "How come you didn't tell me?""I-I didn't want to think about it..." She said sadly."As for where Snelly went, I'm fairly sure he was headed toward Ta-koro.""Ta-koro? Hmm, thank you." He turned to the others. "Well, this is a problem, Tamaru was one of Snelly's closest friends, and a good friend of mine too."He closed his eyes briefly, when they opened they showed a different kind of expression entirely. "Snelly's already deeply involved with this, it may be too late for him to not be involved, if they killed a member of the chroniclers company, then Makuta must be concerned about some kind of information they told Snelly."Yep, as long as Snelly knows what he knows he's a target."IC:MihaMiha just followed Mimira, wondering what on earth she had gotten herself into.OOC:So just who is Miha now traveling with? I'm confused...
IC: Eamerzon: Le-Koro:"OOOHHH! Tamaru is dead?! WWAAAAH!" Eamerzon cried.
IC: (Gamal)"My name is Ghar-Knel. I kind of need some medical help. And who might you be?" "Gamal," replies the Ga-Matoran as she looks over the new being. It was still dark, so she could barely see him. "I'm going to Ta-Koro, and they have a hospital there. Would that suffice?"-Mef Man
IC: Ghar-Knel shrugged. "A hospital would be splendid," he said, turning on his night vision. "Lead the way."
IC: (Gamal)"Would you like a ride?" she asked the being. "My Ussul crabs can get you there faster than it would be to walk."-Mef
IC: Ara'aks had finally caught up with Cipher. She looked around, seeing only the coastal hut, and scowled. "Well, now you've done it." The toa of fire said, before noticing Angelus. "Oh. He get you lost too?" Ara'kas inquired, not noticing the large hole in the hut's wall.
IC: Ghar-Knel thought a moment. A lot of the rahi on this island were filthy. But, a hospital was a hospital. "All right, then," he said. "Let's head out then."
IC: (Gamal)After the new being climbs onto the caravan, the Ussul driven cart starts back on the road to Ta-Koro."So, how bad is your injury?" asked the Ga-Matoran. She didn't know if she needed to hurry and get him to the hospital before something worse happened to him; or if he was going to get blood all over her cart.
-Mef Man
IC: Ghar-Knel looked Gamal over in the green tint of his headgear. "It's not horrible, but it'll need some serious attention," he replied. "I took a crossbow bolt to the face back on the Kumu Islets. Knocked me into the water and I drifted over here." He paused. "Don't worry, it isn't bleeding that much," he added.
IC: Tapuon Tapuon drew his knife, and forced his way through a thicket of brambles. He was thoroughly lost, having left Ko-Wahi with nothing in the way of navigation tools. Peering upwards, he spotted the tallest tree he could feasibly reach, fighting his way through several bio of jungle to reach it. He cut a vine loose from the tree, and reattached the knife to his belt. Using the vine to support his weight, he began to climb up. The hope was, he would be able to see anyone nearby from the top, or they might be able to see him. Of course, this would also make him vulnerable to being seen by less desirable things. Tapuon reached the top and cast a wary eye to the Nui-Rama nest in the distance. Settling himself into a position where he would be seen from below, he began to wait.
IC: (Gamal)"Oh my," said the Ga-Matoran as she slaps the lead crab with her reins. The two set off toward Ta-Koro at a much faster speed than before. They would (hopefully) be to the village of fire in an hour or less. She would have rather taken the wounded being to Ta-Koro in a Gukko bird, but her birds were even farther away on the opposite side of Le-Wahi."Don't worry, we'll be there in an hour at the most, just be patient," she said to the being.-Mef
IC: Ghar-Knel was beginning to like the small Ga-Matoran. But she wasn't the type to get mixed up in his conflict. In time, Solaris, Miptel, and Kahua would pay. "Good," he said. "Do you have anything with which to clean my armor? I've just been floating around in that filth-infested bay, and I'm not a big fan of being dirty."
IC (Zadron)Zadron's sharp features allowed a slit-thin smile to cross them."Xxeth," he said smoothly, "as you should know, the hunter becomes the hunted rather quickly." He extended on radius blade and examined the point. "As I believe you learned the last time you tried for one of my bounties."IC (Echelon)Echelon looked up to see a Toa of Air sitting on a branch, whom he recognised as a mercenary for Makuta."Whether we will wish to talk to you remains to be seen," he said icily. "But why should you wish to speak with us?"
IC: TuataraAnother person had joined them in conversation it seemed to him. He couldn't hear the words, but he could see their mouths moving. his eyes carefully scanned each of them, seeing what they carried with them, and any unhidden weaponry. He doubted he would need to know what they were armed with, but you never could tell in the jungle. He didn't know he had been noticed, nor did it really change anything. He was watching silently and carefully. Making it impossible to see him clear enough to tell exactly what he was, as he had been the whole time he followed. All they could get were quick glimpses of him moving. Never enough to tell exactly what he was.
I.C. Kranuka Le-KoroAfter a strange encounter with an insane toa of air named Dervian, Kranuka decided to make his way to Ko-Wahi. He realized that he needed a body-guard in case a Nui-Rama, or some criminal tried to kidnap him again. Kranuka posted a sign (on a tree) that said:Looking for armed escort to Ko-Wahi.Kranuka then sat down by the tree waiting to see who would pop up.OOC: Feel free to interact
OOC: That bunch of randoms includes Dekuna - toa of Sonics, Decaia - toa of water and Eamzeron - Jovak of lightning.IC: "Well then, shall we travel to Ta-koro also? With a kadin, a kualsi and a gukko between us, we should be able to get there quite quickly."OOC: What do you mean? Their the same people that were in the inn. Havon found Mimira last night and brought along a bunch of random people from Ko-Wahi. Unless you mean something else.IC:MihaMiha just followed Mimira, wondering what on earth she had gotten herself into.OOC:So just who is Miha now traveling with? I'm confused...
IC: (Gamal)"You can use the tarp that's covering the supplies. It's pretty big, but I think you can manage it," she said as she continues to steer the crabs. "I noticed the smell; thought it was just the crabs..."The Ga-Matoran looks up above to tree-line to spot the massive volcanoe at the center of the island."Almost to Ta-Koro," she says. "Just a little while longer."
-Mef Man
OOC:I was wondering who all was in the group that Havon was in. @Mt. Ihu: Thanks.IC:MihaMiha had arrived at her Gukko's pen, and started to take care of it. She smiled at the young Gukko, and the young Gukko smiled(as much as a Gukko can smile that is) back.OOC:And to increase the cuteness of Miha, meet Angle, the Bionicle equivalent of a puppy. A puppy that can carry Miha on it's back.
IC: Bruised and battered, but ultimately recovered from his ordeal in the jungle, Sookus was lurking around Le-Koro scouting out opportunity. A leaflet in broad font alerted him to a possible job. Sitting by the tree under it was a Matoran in bronze and silver."This your escort job?" he asked the smaller figureOOC: I'll take that offer Elemental Ussal
IC: XxethHe addressed Zadron first. "Yes, that was rather painful, but don't worry, I'm not here for a fight." He now addressed everyone. "Now Zadron nows about my brother, Skyra, I've told you about him a few times, how he refused to join Makuta when I gave him a sporting chance, instead of accepting my gracious offer he gave me this scar." He pointed to his right eye, there was a deep scar on his mask. "I've always told Zadron that Skyra would begin to meddle with our affairs someday. I've been doing a lot of snooping, keeping tabs on my brother and such. And it appears he's made his move. My sources spotted him hanging around Ko-koro with a ghostly Toa of Ice, they stopped at Turaga Nuju's hut quite a few times and it's possible he may have even made contact with Kopeke. He knows something about the recent happenings with members of the chroniclers company I'm sure.""Let see what else...oh yes! Did you know that Tamaru was a close friend of his? I'm sure by now he's vowed to avenge him or something. Which is why I came looking for you. We can bait him. I'm sure he plans to find you eventually. He's not the type to let previous grievances go take it from me.""One more thing about Skyra that you'll find rather interesting, I heard that he now goes by the name, Snelly." "Why am I just handing you all this valuable information? Simple, I want to be there when he finds you and confronts you, and I want to be the one to kill him."IC: Havon, MimiraHavon thought about it. He wasn't sure if just rushing in to Ta-koro and trying to convince Snelly that he should stop what he was doing was the best approach."Hmm. Well, Ta-koro...I suppose we should go. Now, you all realize that if we get involved with this it's there's a chance will be putting our lives at risk, which is why Mimira is sta-""No! I'm coming!" Mimira blurred out."No, it's too dangerous! Snelly would never forgive me if anything happened to you!""I'll be careful I promise! It's just a village right?" Mimira used puppy dog eyes. "Pleaze Havon....""Not those eyes....." Havon looked like he was about to cave in and... "Son of a makuta fish! Fine you can come to Ta-koro, but after we find your brother if he tells you to go back to Le-koro you go! Deal?""Okay! You're the best Havon." she ran up to him and hugged him."Well, of course I am! Anyway before we go, we should probably stop at the market and get food, supplies, weapons, and whatever..."IC (Zadron)Zadron's sharp features allowed a slit-thin smile to cross them."Xxeth," he said smoothly, "as you should know, the hunter becomes the hunted rather quickly." He extended on radius blade and examined the point. "As I believe you learned the last time you tried for one of my bounties."IC (Echelon)Echelon looked up to see a Toa of Air sitting on a branch, whom he recognised as a mercenary for Makuta."Whether we will wish to talk to you remains to be seen," he said icily. "But why should you wish to speak with us?"
IC"Laki. I was not-much truly fear-running from you," he said, "trying to get back to sleep-home quick-fast. This is dark-bad place in Le-Koro. The bad-slums. Which is very good-nice, compared to other far-koro. Some are all dark-bad, like T-Xa-Koro" Laki said, catching himself from speaking the word Ta, considering the (most likely) Ta-Matoran in his presence. "Here-now because of repair-job. What brings you-folk here-now? And what are you're speak-names?"
