IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
Myka nodded. "Ta-Koro was... Jalna was a Ta-Matoran. I figured that Elax might go there, it's the only location other than Ga-Koro that I know has significance with him."
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
"Okay then." Zyron nodded.
"And while we're looking for Elax we should also try to find out what this is all about..." He just wished he knew how to accomplish that.
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
"I don't see how we can do that at the moment." Myka sighed. "Finding Elax should probably be our top priority for now."
I.C. Vompran
"I never found out his name... He is a toa of sonics, wore a mahiki, acted like a ninja, had a sword, ninja stars, and a heck of a lot of fighting skill."
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
"Of course, but... I don't know. We should still keep our eyes open. Just in case." He shrugged.
IC(Ledzel)
(Pala-Koro; talking to Vompran)
"Well, remind me to kill him if you ever see him again. Okay?" Ledzel asks Vompran. If anyone messed with his friends, he'd take them out.
-Mef Man
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
"Ta-Koro is north of here, right?" WIthout waiting for an answer, Myka began walking.
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
"Well we could always check it on the m-" Zyron began, but then he already saw Myka wander off.
"Hey, wait for me!" he exclaimed and hurried to catch up with her again.
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
Myka laughed as she heard Zyron's exclamation, before slowing down slightly. "Sorry, was I going too fast for you?"
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
"No, but... you could say I was distracted" Zyron replied in a somewhat cheerful manner. He realized that he kind of liked Myka's laugh.
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
"Sure. Distracted. I got it." Myka said, still laughing slightly. "But, I don't think we need to check. Ta-Koro's inside a volcano, and even from here that kind of thing is hard to miss. We just have to get to the lifts, then head towards the giant lump of rock."
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
Zyron raised an eyebrow. Yes, he had really been distracted. He was not sure what exactly Myka meant... but it probably didn't really matter that much.
"You convinced me" he replied, "so you probably want to lead as well, hm?"
No, he was not being overly serious.
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
Myka stopped. "If you really want to check the map, it's okay with me."
She, unlike Zyron, was being serious.
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
"No, it's okay really." Zyron raised both hands and shook his head.
"I trust you." He really did.
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
Myka smiled warmly at Zyron. "Okay then. Let's go."
With that, she set off once again towards the lifts, but slightly slower than before.
IC
Rizik jumps down from the tree tops. The impact looks as though it should hurt, although he lets of nothing more than a grunt
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
Zyron realized that Myka wasn't walking as fast now, but even though he didn't feel it was necessary he decided not to comment on it. Instead he followed her in silence, using the moment to quickly go through a few things in his mind.
What still didn't make sense to him was the question as to why that Vortixx and the unknown other person wanted to help Elax, to 'get him back on the right track'.The Le-matoran doubted anyone would be so idealistic. Not in this world, and certainly not these days...
IC: Zyke, Grimlock, Swoop
The cuffs burned, but Zyke had felt worse before.
"Hey, it's Yellow Guy!"
Zyke turned his head to find the same Skakdi that had helped him ward off that mutant freak in Ko-Koro.
"Mind giving me a hand?" he called.
Grimlock channeled his elemental energy and summoned up a cluster of razor-sharp iron shards and sent them all flying straight for Clariax. Not at Zyke, not at any of the Aukati, just Clariax.
Zyke summoned his own elemental powers and charged the cuffs with electricity until they dissipated. Well, those burns weren't going to heal easily. His eyes lit up, and the shards became charged with volts upon volts of electricity.
Swoop held up his hand and created a vacuum around Clariax's head.
I.C. Vompran (Pala-Koro, Talking to Ledzel)
"Thanks... It's good to know you've got my back.
I forgot to mention, he doesn't look much like a sonics toa. He's mostly dark red and gray. His mask has the shape of a hau."
OOC
Guys can some one give me a hand getting into the story line? Im a total BZRPG noob.
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
Soon, the two reached the end of Le-Koro.
"After you," Myka said, gesturing at one of the elevators.
IC(Ledzel)
(Pala-Koro; talking to Vompran)
"I'll be on the look out," Ledzel replies. If he ever crossed paths with this Hau wearer, he'd kill him.
"Well, about this battle, who votes that we get into this fight?"
-Mef Man
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
"'kay... urgh, elevators" Zyron said, or rather murmured to himself. He still hated those things...
The matoran quickly stepped into the elevator, carefully avoiding to look down. Instead, he looked at his own feet while he waited for Myka to get in there as well.
IC: Rizik (Le-Koro)Rizik sees a Female Ko-Matoran and a Male Le-Matoran (Zyron and Myka) boading an elevator.
"You should be carful" he said "you know what they say about elevators"
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
Myka followed Zyron into the elevator, then pushed down the little levers.
"Hey, you okay?" She asked, noticing Zyron's discomfort.
IC: Clariax
Clariax teleported away from the attacks, into a branch on a tree, hidden away where nobody could really see. She held out her hand, and Swoop's feet were suddenly immersed in rising plasma.
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
"Yes, yes. I suppose so." he replied, still avoiding to look down or out of the elevator. Zyron didn't really feel like admitting his problem today...
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
"You can trust me, you know." Myka smiled, sensing that Zyron was still uncomfortable. "I'm not going to judge you."
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
Zyron pulled a face. Maybe he shouldn't have said that earlier...
"I just don't really... like elevators" he replied. This conversation wasn't really making him feel better. He just hoped the elevator would reach safe ground again soon.
IC: Myka (Le-Koro)
"Oh." A slightly concerned expression appeared on Myka's face as the lift descended. "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, I won't be nosy."
IC: Zyron (Le-Koro)
Zyron just nodded. "Thank you. Maybe later..."
The matoran realized that he partly didn't want to talk about this because he feared that it would sooner or later lead to him having to talk about his past. Which was something he actually liked even less than elevators.
IC: Myka (Le-Wahi)
Myka remained silent until the elevator reached the ground, at which point she stepped out, and waited for Zyron.
IC: Nanashi
The knife fight had turned into a game of hide and seek between the two combatants. Thinking I had ditched the enemy, I dashed over to some toa. "Could one of you charge this thing?" I asked, gesturing to my EM. "Just shoot something Elemental at it."
OOC: Ketharye, and that group.
IC(Ledzel)(Pala-Koro; talking to Nanashi)
"I...don't know if I should, bro," Ledzel replies, not sure if this being was an ally or not. The last thing he wanted was to give a knife to one of the many freaks that seemed to show up to Pala-Koro.
-Mef Man
IC: Zyron (Le-Wahi)
The short silence was both welcome and weird for Zyron. Welcome, because he could focus on not focusing on the fact that he was in an elevator, and weird because... well, he couldn't quite put a finger on it.
Once they had both stepped out of the elevator, Zyron looked at Myka, tilted his head and smiled apologetically.
"Sorry if I was being weird. It's just... well. It doesn't matter. We're safe now."
He said that last sentence with slighty exaggerated relief in an attempt to lighten the mood a bit.
IC: Nanashi
An arrow whizzed by.
IC:
Kethrye nodded in reply to Vompran, grinning. "Words of reason seemed to do nothing, so let's settle this the old fashioned way. But keep things non-lethal; I want to know what exactly the karz is going on, but we can sort that out later. Considering who's involved, I wouldn't lose sleep after roughing them up a little, assuming they're still on our side at all." he said, absorbing the melting ice sword clasping his hand, replenishing a portion of his elemental power.
"Agreed?" he said, turning his head to the rest of his allies.
IC: Myka (Le-Wahi)
Myka smiled at Zyron. "It's okay, I don't mind."
IC(Ledzel)
(Pala-Koro; talking to Kethrye)
"'Non-lethal'?" repeats Ledzel. "Karz," he jokes, taking aim with his launcher at one of the attackers. "Ready when you are."
-Mef Man
IC: Ril "You guys want help with that?" asked the charred Toa of Fire next to Kethreye, Plagia, Ledzel and Vompran.
