BZPRPG: Ga-Wahi

IC: "That's exactly what you did wrong," Ghar-Knel said, looking away, coldly.Solaris growled. He had had enough of this Vortixx. He crawled through the water, looking for his sword. Aha! There it was.Ghar-Knel glanced at Solaris. He cocked his rifle and aimed it at Solaris's head."You tell your cronies 'hands-off,'" he said, finger taut on the trigger, "but I don't play by any rules."

IC: Ralz looked at Hau from a few feet away, confused as to why the female had just spanked him. He stood there, his eyes vigilant like an eagle's. he wanderer felt the need to put his palm to his face for some odd reason and stepped back as soon as Sucogu took out a dagger. He stood a few feet away from the group of toa, sipping on some tea. His ribs were still cracked, but he still endured the pain to see how this would turn out.

OOC: @Zealokan I know, right? I guess that's what happens when you mix a haughty Ga-Matoran, a wild card, and an irresponsible fighter who's relearning how to be a dad.IC - Sucogu - ohpleasenotheragain"Not you...anyone but you." he mumbled.His dagger was still in hand, but now it was coursing with electricity. If she tried to attack him... If he attacked her, and she blocked it... "That's me. Ship-snatching-Su." Even as he said it, and minuscule anxiety marks became visible on his face, and his eyelids dropped, like an eagle preparing to strike......the electricity intensified.

"How could loving you be wrong?" asked the Matoran. "You don't need to fear being loved. It's wonderful; a feeling a thought we shared. A feeling I've always longed for and I thought you gave me. Please, Ghar. Please love me again and I'll always love you. Even if you don't love me I'll love you."Ga'mal bows her head down and lets the tears fall again. What was she to do? She had been through so much with the Vortixx and now he was betraying her; and for no reason. Was she to crawl back to Tairel; or try to stick with Ghar-Knel?I'm not crawling back to Tairel. I don't even love him. I never did. It was just a silly crush. I love Ghar and I'm not going to live without him.-Mef Man

IC: Moylan"I thought so."Her face had a half snarl upon it."So I have to ask you, do you still want that-"Unpleasant."-Pirate's ship?"

OOC: Dude, your sword was not in the water. It's somewhere near Ghar-Knel, seeing as it was used to stab 1/4 of the way through his head..IC: Kahua was obviously losing strength with his Iron Sand controlOOC: At least that's what logic says and what Ghar-Knel MOVING AT ALL implies. :PIC: so he instead shifted it to jam Ghar-Knel's gun. He kept his power flowing to repel the bullet from the exit, but not hard enough for it to fly out the other end. "We can't have you firing THAT anymore, now can we?" He managed a weak grin. He used his mask to boost his speed and therefore his momentum, kicking Ghar-Knel in the leg in a split second. His momentum prevented him from stopping his movement, so Ghar-Knel was forced to fall down. Kahua quickly pulled off the repairs on the back of the gun and magnetically stole all the ammo, attracting it to his hand. "I hope you had another clip, my friend." He boosted his momentum with his mask yet again, throwing the ammo far away into the ocean. "And another gun." He repelled the cork of Iron Sand's particles from each other, tearing apart the gun barrel.

IC (Hatann): Interesting thought the Skakdi. Moylan seemed to have found another person who didn't like Odhran. A potential ally perhaps? He waited to see how they would respond to the toa's blint speech.IC (Dekuna): So, now they were looking for bases, even before their new leader had arrived." If it helps any," he said "I have a small house in Ko-koro. It could fit the team as we are, but a few more would make it a bit crowded. It could serve as our Ko-wahi BOO."

OOC: Woah; that was alot of auto hits; Tahu. You may want to check with Solaris to see if that was okay for you to do that.

Ga'mal watches in shock as the new being attacks Ghar-Knel. What should she do? Defend her love? Try to put him down so he could listen to reasoning?-Mef Man

OOC: Only two. The Iron Sands were long ago in Ghar-Knel's armor, so easy to shift it to his gun. (Therefore it doesn't count) And with a Kakama (though I'm sure this counts, I'll explain it anyway) he could quickly grab the patching off the back of the gun. And magnetically stealing the bullets through a hole in the gun--no contact required. Not an auto hit. As for the kick that one might have been a real auto hit. We'll just wait and see if that's fine with him.IC: Kahua spat blood and grinned. "I have you now..."OOC: Oh, and Kahua's not a "new being." He's been here the whole time, helping Solaris and Mip, read my previous posts if you haven't.

OOC: Don't worry, I can live with them. Just...IC: "I said, hands off," Solaris said, flipping over to see Kahua standing over Ghar-Knel.Ghar-Knel was almost done. His vision was fading along with his anger."Listen to him," he wheezed. "I don't enjoy pain."The Rel stood down and resumed its blank expression."Now let's all just calm down talk," Solaris panted. "But first, we need a doctor."

Ga'mal wipes away her tears before looking up to see that the battle was almost over; with everyone calming down. The Ga-Matoran runs to Ghar-Knel and smiles at him."Let's all find a hospital and rest. I think that would help all of us."She smiles at the Vortixx as she reaches out for his hand; gently patting it.-Mef Man

IC: Kahua got off Ghar-Knel. "Got it. I guess we can talk this over, it just requires this guy not being able to move!" He almost laughed, then decided to hold it back. Something told him there was nothing funny about this situation. "I'll get the doctor."The doctor who helped Kahua earlier came. "Already here.""Ah, here we go."The doctor looked everyone over. "Who should I treat first?" This was going to be a long day...

"Ghar," she says first. It didn't take much thinking. She loved him and her wounds weren't as bad as his. "Please," the Matoran adds.-Mef Man

IC: Ghar-Knel looked at Ga'mal with cold contempt. It didn't matter if she deserved it or not.Solaris looked up at the Vortixx. What was his problem?"I think Solaris needs immediate help," The Rel said. Not only did it feel Solaris was the more deserving, but it thought his wounds were the worst."This isn't over," Ghar-Knel said, passing out.Solaris, too, faded into blackness.The Rel looked around. Only he, Kahua, and Ga'mal were conscious... Well whaddaya know...

Ga'mal rests her head on Ghar-Knel's chest; not minding the blood that seeped onto her Mask. "Ghar," she mumbles as tears start to fall down her face and onto the Vortixx. "I'll make sure you get healed up." Ga'mal looks up at the doctor as she asks,"Will you heal him? Please." The Matoran-exhausted-gently rests her head back on Ghar-Knel before slumping forward into a deep sleep.-Mef Man

IC: CyraxCyrax stood to the side of the crowd, amused.This would be fun.

IC: "So who am I healing first?" the doctor sighed."Solaris," The Rel said, glaring at Ga'mal. To prove its point, it raised its crackling plasma scepters. "And make it quick."The Doctor shrugged and began to work on the Toa of Lightning. Bandaging and poultices and such were applied. Then she moved to Ghar-Knel, and then Mip, Kahua, and finally Ga'mal. Her job was done, and she left for her hut.Solaris's eyes flickered open for a moment. The pain was dulled, but he could still feel a dull burning. Then he passed out once more.Mip woke up. He examined his surroundings. He was where he was, only everyone was bandaged up."What the Karz happened?" he asked.

The Ga-Matoran opens her eyes as she looks over toward Mip. She was now sitting beside Ghar-Knel with her head on his shoulder; even though the position was uncomfortable. "I think the doctor came by and healed us," she moans before positioning herself more comfortable on the Vortixx.-Mef Man

IC: Mip looked at Ga'mal. She..."You're with that Makuta-spawn Ghar-Knel, aren't you?!" he said, slowly getting up.The Rel walked over and helped Mip up."Don't provoke her," it hissed.Ghar-Knel began to stir as well.

Ga'mal sits up, but places her hands on Ghar-Knel. "Yes I'm with Ghar-Knel. Kill me if you'd like, but I'd rather die at Ghar's side than run away from him. I love him more than anyone else and I'll stand by him always."-Mef Man

IC: Mip raised an eyebrow. Then he turned to The Rel."How'd that work?" he whispered."Ghar-Knel didn't want to be close to anyone, so he tried to kill her," The Rel whispered back.Mip nodded as he digested the story."And don't worry... Ga'mal, right?" he said. "I couldn't kill you. I may be a Toa, but I'm only about a head taller than you.""And as far as we're concerned, he doesn't fight all that well," Solaris said, waking up again and massaging his broken knee (odd how one forgets such things).Ghar-Knel sat up. Why was everyone still alive?"Ga'mal, why haven't you killed them, yet?" he mumbled.

"Ghar!" she yells as she wraps her arms around the Vortixx. "I'm so sorry; I haven't had time to." Ga'mal kisses the Vortixx on his cheek before looking him in the eye. "I'm so glad you're alright."-Mef Man

IC: Ghar-Knel sighed."Well, kill them now, or it'll be for real this time," he growled. He was sure she knew what she meant."I said hands off," Solaris interjected. "We're going to work this out like civilized people."Mip sat back, calmed, hand coming off the hilt of his axe.The Rel simply turned away, resisting the temptation."You two go first," Solaris said, turning to Ga'mal and Ghar-Knel.

Ga'mal rests her head on Ghar's shoulder as she asks,"What do you mean 'go first'?" She wasn't sure what the being meant, but she did know that Ghar was alive and she wanted to be with him during his recovery. -Mef Man

IC: Eamerzon:"Ohhh.. Ahhh. Hau! Karz it -censored-! Why?! Is it because of Sucogu?!" Eamerzon cried out as tears fell from her delicate eyes. She slumped to the ground, pool of water forming.

IC: Solaris looked to the sky. Well, looks like this was going to be a long conversation."I mean, state your business, opinion on the matter at hand, and what's your side of the story," Solaris explained. "Feel free to start any time.""You tell 'em," Ghar-Knel told Ga'mal. "I don't feel like talkin' much."

"My business is whatever concerns Ghar, and that is hunting you down," she replies as she turns around to face Solaris, but her arms were still wrapped around the Vortixx. "My opinion is that we should finish you off, but I'd rather save that for another day so we can all rest up, and I don't have a side. Just met Ghar and I've been travelling with him until we got here to confront you."Ga'mal smiles at the Vortixx and says,"Was that okay, or do I need to add anything else?"-Mef Man

IC: "It was fine," Ghar-Knel said, nodding. "Basically covers it."Solaris had a small challenge."So, Ga'mal," he said. "Ghar-Knel aside completely, why do you want to kill me. Just forget about him and think on your own."The Rel looked back and folded its arms. This was actually more interesting than it thought.

Ga'mal releases Ghar before running her hand down his cheek and to his chin. She smiles at him before releasing her hand and turning around to face Solaris. "I don't have any reason to kill you. If it were just me I'd sell you something pretty and be on my way. But, since I'm with Ghar, I have every reason to be rid of you."-Mef Man

IC: Solaris was a bit offended by the response. Ga'mal would make a pretty good team-assassin."So if one of my friends take Ghar-Knel out of the picture, you'd have no reason to kill me?" he asked. "Don't answer that. How about... is there any way I could make you see I don't deserve death? That Ghar-Knel and I have an even playing field? That he has no reason to kill me, either? Hm?"Mip sat back. This was getting good.

"Unless Ghar says you don't deserve death then I won't go for that," she replies. Her eyes narrow as she looks toward Solaris coldly. "But if you plan on taking Ghar out of the picture personally then I will make sure the same happens to you."Ga'mal didn't realize she was standing now; almost right in front of the Toa. She keeps her gaze on Solaris as she eases back to Ghar and sits down beside him.-Mef Man

IC: Solaris sat back, returning the stare."I'm not going for Ghar-Knel yet," he said, never breaking the gaze. "I just don't want to live in fear that you and your boy-toy trying to kill an innocent Toa. And you say you love him. You can't live without his affection. You know what it feels like to have that ripped away from you in a horrible moment of realization, don't you? He killed Plia. I loved her. And she's gone. You can't provide an ounce of sympathy?! You're as heartless as Ghar-Knel!""I think that's a bit much," Mip whispered in Solaris's ear.

IC: Kahua woke up, all bandaged up. His sands and possessions were next to his bed. What? Apparently his dream had been true, for everyone was discussing things. Had he been half-conscious? In that case, no one needed to fill him in. "Ow." There was something he did not get."Urgh...You there. Matoran." He meant Ga'mal. "How can you love someone who hates you? Not violently. Let me rephrase that.." He thought for a moment. "Ghar doesn't hate you...but he doesn't love you either. He has no opinion of you, he just thinks you're useful. And I know you love him...but you'll never be happy this way. Neither will he, really. He's just a heartless assassin. Trust me, I know! I once unwittingly helped him!" Kahua wanted to stand, but his body wouldn't move. He had really exhausted his elemental power, and that had spread to his body when he forced energy out when he had none.

IC: Hau watched Eamerzon numbly, emptily. But he did nothing more. The toa was frozen.Yer a dolt.His dad's voice hit him like a thunderclap. The chain rattled, recoiling as he flinched-in horror at his own and others' inability to aid the fallen female, or in pain? He couldn't tell.A useless, stinkin' brakas. Ya son of a piraka. I don't know how 'ore related to me, his dad remarked.And Hau could see him now. A white and blue matoran with a Hau that seemed to big for his beady-eyed face.Plus that grin of a thousand words, ever-present-never genuine, either a display or cruel. People had always said he had the same grin as his dad.He hated that.Listen to yoreself. 'Ore just trying to prove that ya aren't as bad as me, the grinning matoran continued.And 'ore right for once in that. Because 'ore a-Shut up.The martial artist pushed off the table's wooden surface. He scrabbled for a grip, chain rattling.Ooh, sum'un gotta bit of fight? Really, I expected more. You can't even-Shut up.Hau was now up and on the table. Descending from it, he gently picked up the crumpled Eamerzon and cradled her.Oh look. Wittle Hau is cleaning up his messez now. He's a big boy. He doesn't need anyone else because-SHUT UP.His dad stopped there.Hau sighed. The matoran would be back.But for now, he had to do something. It was his nature.And she needed it. A blow to the solar plexus could kill-especially when combined with the power of a Kakama and the added damage of a shock.He robotically activated his Kakama. Without another thought, a silver-blue-black-gold blitz sped through the streets of Ga-Koro.A hospital. Just one Mata Nui-forsaken hospital.

"Itleast you had someone who loved you," replied the Matoran. "I'm sure you wouldn't know what it feels like to be alone for all of your life. But, one day, you meet someone who can love you after hundreds of years of searching. Do you know what that feels like? I'm sorry for Plia, but she was just a target and there was nothing personal. Getting revenge isn't going to solve anything. And, if you kill Ghar, you're just doing what he did to you. How would you be able to live with yourself?"Ga'mal wipes away another tear before turning to see the other being was speaking to her."You don't know him now," she replied as she leans her head back on Ghar-Knel's shoulder. She places her hand on his and rubs it gently as she replies. "He's changed."-Mef Man

IC: "Yeah, he went from fierce warrior to stewing in his thoughts while you cluelessly defend him!" He took in what she had said to Solaris as well. "If Solaris killed him now it would just be payback. He came to Solaris to kill him, not the other way around!" Kahua decided he would tell his story. "Once I met Ghar-Knel. Helped him out. He told me he was after a dangerous freak called Solaris. Believing him I offered my help. So we found Solaris, but I was suspicious. There was nothing crazy about him at all. And when Ghar was sure I figured out his lie, he attacked! We managed to get away, and I've been with Solaris and Mip ever since. This Rel guy also seems to know something..now I don't know of your past, but I know this! Solaris is no crazy freak, and he doesn't deserve death! Especially not by the hands of this madman!" He pointed his middle finger at Ghar.

IC: Ghar-Knel, himself, had to laugh."You can't change me," he said to Ga'mal. "Solaris knows me, and he can tell me I'm the same as I was four hundred years ago."Then he noticed Kahua's rude gesture and spat.Solaris nodded."And he never read the book he has to you, did he?" he asked. "The story of me and Plia. She didn't know who I was, even though she saw me for every day of my life. I was alone for hundreds of years, Ga'mal. You don't know me. And I don't know you. What reason is there to kill each other over. And there's something else. Plia wasn't a target. Ghar-Knel wasn't paid for her death. It was completely personal. Now I've been alone for the hundreds of years after her death. I had her for just seventy years in my at least thousand year existance. Her and no one else. And for that living with killing 'Ghar'..."Solaris reached for a plate on the bottom of his left arm. Underneath, on the fleshy substance was a tattoo dossier. Name, height, weight, age, rank, etc, etc. At the bottom, there was a part that read 'Kill count: 4987'."Discuss," he said, leaning back and smiling at Kahua.The Rel nodded at Kahua's boldness and resumed its viewing of this debate.Mip just snickered.

OOC: I don't understand that tattoo, so, I'll just go on.IC: "There, Ga'mal. Ghar's own admission." Kahua was itching to tear Ghar-Knel to pieces. He had seen inside his mind through the exchange of blows and words, and what he could see was so horrible he needed to have Ghar's head as a decoration for his hut. But following Solaris's orders, he restrained himself. It wasn't his fight until he had to step in for someone else's sake. "Go on, Ghar. Since you're so proud of yourself...TELL THE MATORAN! I want to hear this too!"

OOC: Ah, the tattoo. Ga'mal doubted that Solaris would be able to live with having killed Ghar-Knel. Solaris had enlisted with a currently undisclosed army and fought two wars. He has 4987 confirmed kills, showing he can live with having killed someone. Questions, class?IC: Ghar-Knel was fading in and out of the pointless banter."Tell her what?" he asked, staring into space.

The Ga-Matoran listens to the being's words and finally just curls into a ball and places her head into her arms. She starts to cry as she tries to listen to the conversation. What was she to do? She thought she had it all planned out; then Ghar-Knel attacked her and the beings started sharing their stories. Ga'mal was confused and all she wanted to do was kill herself.Yes. Kill herself. Maybe that would finally end it...-Mef Man
