BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

OOC: Henkka is himself now right?IC: [Stronin/Ril]"I can't really blame him for being insane," replied Stronin dryly as he leaned against the wall of the cell. "He's still technically my friend though."---Ril frowned. He really didn't want to believe the prisoner, for he had just lost one of his colleagues subduing the Toa of Air. But it seemed as if Henkka was not lying, and his mask knew when one was lying."You still killed a man," he said harshly. "You ate him alive, and would've eaten the rest of my colleagues if you weren't subdued."

OOC: No, he just has a nicer personality now.IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Right", Alex snorted. "Let me tell you a short story about being a friend of Henkka. It was a Matoran named Tapio, who was Henkka's best friend back while the me and him were still normal and living in one time, one body. They fought together and were so loyal to each other. One day, though, Henkka betrayed Tapio and the rest of them and even tried to kill his best friend. That's how good a friend he is."IC (Henkka, Ta-Koro prison):Henkka tried to say something, but found that Ril was speaking the truth. "I'm - I'm sorry... he said.""Defuse the LG6700""No, don't do it! The part GH650 is damaged! You'll blow us all up!""Geez... you're correct? How did you know? You saved us!""I'm a scientist", Henkka said. "I do not deal with minds. It's up to you to provide me with psychological assistance in order to find out why I did what I did."

OOC: Ah, I see.IC: [Stronin/Ril]Stronin frowned slightly, before speaking again."And you're a killer," he remarked, folding his arms over each other. "I'm still wondering if what you're talking about is true or not."---Ril blinked, before chuckling."Psychological help?" he said as he controlled his laughter. "That's nice. But I doubt we can bring psychologists in to interview a murderer. So no, try to figure it out yourself."

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Henkka has killed many in his lifetime", Alex said. "The reality we came from is not black or white. Sometimes it's hard to tell heroes and villains apart. And sometimes you just can't."OOC: Alex actually spoke the truth, he just left some important details out. :PIC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"As much as I love challenges", Henkka began speaking seriously, "I'm afraid I am not qualified enough to make a diagnosis of my own mental condition. That is why I require outside influences. You can't make a madman realize he's a madman, now do you?"

IC: [Stronin/Ril]Stronin smiled sadly."There are no heroes or villains," he said. "We're all evil here. Some are just more evil then others."---Ril chuckled again."Very well," he said. "Let me go get a psychologist."As he turned to exit, the Toa of Fire paused for a moment, before snapping his fingers, causing a cage of fire to form within the cell, preventing Henkka from escaping."Don't try escaping," he said cheerfully. "But if you do, see if you can escape without getting burnt. There's a challenge for you."OOC: Can you feel the obnoxiousness oozing out of Ril?

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):Alex smiled. "You're much wise than you sometimes seem to be", he said. "You're a petty thief because you choose to be, but you possess enough power and cunning to conquer areas of this island."IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"I'm not escaping", Henkka said. "Just get the psychologist."

IC: [Stronin/Ril]Stronin chuckled."It's too complicated," he said. "There are so many responsibilities that come with taking over the island."---Several minutes later, Ril had returned with a psychologist, who quickly began questioning Henkka."Tell me," the psychologist said. "Why did you eat one of the guards alive?"

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Perhaps", Alex admitted. "Then again, a good leader knows how to distribute these duties to lesser beings. A good leader knows which servants he can trust with power and which ones are best to keep an eye on. It's all about the leader. You know, Makuta was a being who knew how to be a leader. That's why he took control of the whole universe in the end. Or I guess that happens in the future. Then again, me and Henkka have changed the future, so who knows?"While talking, Alex could feel his elemental energies slowly returning.IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"You are asking me the same question this guard asked", Henkka pointed out. "I do not feel you are qualified enough. But I guess you're the only one they've got. The reason is, I don't know. I feel it was an impulse of some sort. Perhaps the chemicals in my head shifted slightly for a moment, unlocking attributes of aggression I do not normally have. The mind is such a complicated thing, don't you agree?"

IC: [Stronin/Ril]Stronin shrugged."Even if I can," he said cheerfully. "I'm too lazy to."---The psychologist frowned slightly, feeling rather insulted by Henkka's jab at his qualifications. It seemed as if he would have to take a different approach."What did you feel when you were attacking? Anger? Joy?"From behind the two, Ril surveyed the scene, making sure nothing happened to the psychologist.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):"Figures", Alex said. "Anyway, I hope you can get a grip of yourself, cause we're getting out of here. And whether you choose to interfere or not, I am going to take care of Henkka for good. Whatever happens, only one of us leaps out of this timeline."IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):"As I already told you, I do not remember", Henkka said, sounding bored."You foul wizard, none of your magic will work on me!""Wanna bet? At first I was insecure about it myself... but now I can only warn you before you'll have to suffer the wrath of Velho!""You're not Velho. I don't know who you are, but you're not him.""I'm warning you", Henkka suddenly said. "Your aims are useless. I do not have what you want."

IC: [Stronin/Naona/Ril]Stronin smiled."Escaping?" he said, chuckling. "Only one of us is going to escape this cell. And it's not going to be you."Having restored some of his energy, the Iron Toa was able to form a simple sword, and quickly held it to Alex's throat.---When Naona had gone around the corner to look for Aronis Ril, who was assigned as her partner, she did not expect to see the person she was looking for standing in a cell watching a psychologist talk to Henkka, who she remembered to be one of Stronin's 'friends'."Aronis Ril?" she asked, addressing the Fire Toa.Said Fire Toa smiled as he turned around, before bowing."Ril at your service," he said. "And I suppose you're the person I've been partnered up with?"Naona nodded, before quickly looking over towards Henkka."Why is he here?" the Stone Toa said, gesturing to the Air Toa.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):Alex showed no fear as Stronin created a sword and pointed it at him. "You ain't gonna achieve anything by killing me. Even if you could pull it out, it would only mean freeing an insane Henkka from the timestream. And in his condition, he can cause a lot more pain than I have done. And besides -"Alex used the magnetic energy that had recahrged so far to pull the sword out of Stronin's grasp. It flew gracefully to Alex, who grabbed the handle at pointed the sword at Stronin."- I'm a bit too skilled for you."IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"I was asking him the same question", Henkka said, convinced of his identity as a wizard. "Now if you don't release me, I will put a curse on you."

..."Okay, I've looked over the past eleven shelves and haven't found the book yet, although to be honest I was just skimming the past six. We can start again from there if you like."

IC: [Hari]"I'd be glad to," said Hari. "If you'd like it, however, we can split up. I'll look over the shelves you skimmed, while you can move on to something new. How does that sound?" Hari shrugged, his mind already beginning to divide up his proposed section into logical search categories.

Ic: SirrausSirraus nodded absent-mindedly, gazing down the dim halls with just a hint of desperation. It could take decades to sort through everything.He climbed down the ladder and started on the next row over: History of Ga-Metru: Collaboration With Onu-Metru, Mining Expeditions in Sector 2-DA51, Years 1158-022 through 1158-024.He hoped that he had simply overlooked something and Hari would find it soon.

Ic: SirrausSirraus nodded absent-mindedly, gazing down the dim halls with just a hint of desperation. It could take decades to sort through everything.He climbed down the ladder and started on the next row over: History of Ga-Metru: Collaboration With Onu-Metru, Mining Expeditions in Sector 2-DA51, Years 1158-022 through 1158-024.He hoped that he had simply overlooked something and Hari would find it soon.

IC: [Hari]When Hari finally stopped and began to take the time to slowly sift through the magnitude of books, he realized how tedious a task this would be. But he continued on nonetheless, for it was not in his intentions to let his friend down. But there has to be another way, he thought. Maybe we could ask a librarian...then we wouldn't have to search, they would. Hari laughed to himself quietly, but remained diligent in his search. He scanned the titles on the shelves for a book labeled "Gali's Arrival." Perhaps there's a catalog of the books somewhere in this library, Hari thought. That would certainly help us on our search."Sirraus?" he asked quietly. "Do you happen to know if there's a catalog of sorts in this library that would help us find what we're looking for?" Since Sirraus was an archivist, maybe he would know if there was some other way of locating specific volumes in a library of such size. Hari sincerely hoped he did.

IC: [Hari] (...)"Sirraus?" he asked quietly. "Do you happen to know if there's a catalog of sorts in this library that would help us find what we're looking for?" Since Sirraus was an archivist, maybe he would know if there was some other way of locating specific volumes in a library of such size. Hari sincerely hoped he did.

Ic: SirrausSirraus had just gotten to 1189-477 when he heard a question drift over.He poked his head out and gazed down the hall. Even Hari's quiet voice echoed in this cathedral of knowledge."Yes, um." Sirraus replied rather awkwardly. "I guess you could ask the Head Archivist."Another query as to why he hadn't done so already."Uh, er, umm. Well, the archivists in Onu-Koro really, er, I don't think that would work, Ta-Koronians are..." His reply drifted off, ever-feeble excuses strung together in a vain attempt to save his pride. He ended with a simple, slightly indignant "you can if you like" and staggered dejectedly back to his search.

IC: [Stronin/Naona/Ril]Stronin grabbed the tip of the sword, using his powers to absorb the metal. Soon, all Alex was holding was the hilt of the sword, which was worthless as a weapon. That was when he paused, and began to blink rapidly"I just had the strangest idea," he muttered. "Something about forming a rehabilitation clinic."---Naona blinked for a moment, rather surprised at what Henkka was doing. She was pretty sure the other Toa was sane the last time she met him, but now she wasn't so sure."What?" she muttered.From his place next to her, Ril chuckled."Yeah, I don't know what's with him either," he said. "It's like he has multiple personalities."

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):Alex through the hilt to the ground. "Now I expect you to behave", he said. "I'm not going to kill you, for that would only prolong my suffering.Alex walked over the window bars of the cell and examined them, looking for just one... there! The rock around one of the bars had suffered enough erosion to be carved off. Alex began scraping.IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Do you even know who you're insulting?!" Henkka snapped, sounding very outraged and very angry.

IC: [Stronin/Naona/Ril]Stronin smiled at the sight of his companion scraping against the wall."That'd take too long," he said cheerfully. "Ta-Koro does have some fine prisons, but they haven't tried to make it Stronin-proof."He grabbed onto the bars, energy flowing out of him as the metals were absorbed into his body."Problem solved."---Naona replied instantly."You're the Toa who journeyed around with Stronin," she said.Ril, who had just escorted the psychologist out, looked over to his companion."He still hasn't been caught?" he inquired.

OOC: I thought Stronin was running low on elemental energy.IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):Alex was surprised to see Stronin had enough energy to absorb the bars. That, of course, made their escape much easier."We're maskless", Alex pointed out the obvious. "I say we go and get ourselves new masks quickly before your Naona friend realizes we're gone."OOC: EDIT: Whoops, forgot HenkkaIC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Of course I traveled with him", Henkka snapped. "What's your problem?"

OOC: I did say he restored some energy. But now he shouldn't be able to do anything more then bend some metal slightly.IC: [Stronin/Naona/Ril]Stronin smiled."You're mask-less," he pointed out. "My mask is probably located in that box where they ditch all the masks of criminals. I'm not letting you steal one though."---Ril paused for a moment, before remembering what time it was."Your trial will be soon," he said. "Get ready, I'm going to have to escort you over there."That was when he turned to Naona."We shall discuss our assignment together later."

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):"I can get a mask my own way", Alex said, slipping through the window.IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Clean it all, it must be cleaned.""No, not today! Didn't you hear me, there's going to be a big storm tomorrow! It'll wipe us all out!""Clean it all it must be cleaned all obstacles will be removed...""Nothing like debating with Bohrok...""Clean it all, it must be cleaned", Henkka suddenly mumbled. He stood from his chair, took it in his hands and smashed it against the floor."All obstacles will be removed."

IC: [Stronin/Ril]Stronin smiled as he watched Alex go."Good luck then," he said cheerfully, before jumping out the window himself and running towards where his mask was being kept.---Ril formed a small fireball at Henkka's words, preparing to fire if necessary.

Tairel reaches over and grabs the bottle before turning back to Ayra."Let's get the other doctors and we can get some rest." The Ta-Toa walks out of the door and past his desk. But, Tairel stops dead in his tracks."Ga'mal!" he yells as he drops the bottle. The sharp sound of breaking glass could be heard throughout the medical ward as well as the splashing of the drink. He was having another vision.Tairel looks around the beach of Ga-Wahi. He was no longer in the hospital in Ta-Koro, but on the southern tip of Mata-Nui. The Ta-Toa looks toward the beach to see five beings, most of them on the ground. One of them was Ga'mal.Running toward the Matoran, the Toa of Fire yells her name, but she couldn't hear him. She was locked in a staring contest with the Vortixx who was with her a few days earlier. He seemed to have inflicted some kind of damage to her and was about to finish her off. Tairel curses loudly as he continues to run toward the two.-Mef Man

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):Luck. Yeah, like I'd need any of that, Alex thought as he ran in the streets, making sure to stay out of the sight of guards.Alex finally made it to a store where they sold Great Kanohi. Syyge, Alex's host, had some money with him. That was good.The storekeeper greeted Alex, seemingly undisturbed by the injuries of Alex and the fact he wore no mask. This, of course, meant to the trader that he could sell some Kanohi.Alex thought about his choice for a while and decided to go with a basic, albeit very useful mask. He bought a Kanohi Hau and put it on his face, feeling much more powerful now. He would need to wait for his elemental energies to recharge, though.IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):Henkka payed no attention to Ril and his fireball. He simply kept muttering the same phrase over and over again. He walked towards a desk and smashe dit with his bare hands."All obstacles will be removed. It must be cleaned."

IC: [Stronin/Naona/Ril]Stronin leaned against a wall, watching as a guard passed by him. He held his breath, hoping the other being would not notice his presence. After a while, the guard disappeared around a corner, and everything was clear."They should store the Kanohi somewhere around here," he muttered, quickly moving through the building.It took several minutes of evading guards and travelling through the building to find the storage area, but the prize for his efforts balanced out the problems he had to go through. The Iron Toa chuckled as he stuck his Mask of Flight onto his face. It was time for him to escape.---Ril sighed, before grabbing Henkka's arms. The trial would be occurring soon, and he was to escort the insane Toa over to where it was taking place."Wait here," he said, talking to Naona as he dragged Henkka along. "We shall discuss the assignment later."With that, he exited the cell and strode towards the courtroom with the other Toa in tow.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):Alex walked out from a weapons shop, a wicked looking sword in his hand. Being an expert at swordfighting, a basic yet durable sword was an obvious choice for the evil time traveler. Now, with his Kanohi Hau and new sword, Alex walked towards the prison, hoping to find and crush Henkka for good.IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):Being a Pahrak Krana Ja, Henkka would ignore almost anything but his mission. Now, someone was threatening his mission, however, by taking him somewhere. This had to be stopped.Suddenly, Henkka absorbed all the air nearby into himself and launched it all around him, causing a massive blast of air which made Ril fly around with whatever objects were in the same space. Having taken care of this, Henkka quickly forgot about Ril again and left towards the exit. There was much to be cleaned and removed from this island."It must be cleaned."

IC: [Stronin/Ril]When Stronin had turned the corner, a box slammed into his face, sending him crashing into the ground. He groaned as he got up, hoping to find out who had thrown the box at him, only to find Ril spinning around with several other items in a tornado."Aronis," he hissed, drawing his cavalry sabre, which surprisingly hadn't been taken from him. "What are you doing here?"Ril smirked as he slowly spun around, savouring the look on the other Toa's face."Why I'm a guard now," the Toa of Fire said, chuckling. "I've gone legit.""Then tell me Aronis," said Stronin, the malice clearly evident in his voice. "If you are legit, why did you sell me out to the Onu-Koro Guard several years ago?"There was a pause, and the tornado collapsed, dropping Ril onto the floor."Oh yeah, I only joined the Guard rather recently," he said, smiling as he got up. "I wasn't that legit back then."His only answer was a roar from Stronin, who tackled him to the ground.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):Stronin and Ril weren't the only old acquaintances fighting. Alex was just about to enter the prison when Henkka came out. Alex roared and charged at Henkka, who used his air powers to casually through Alex aside. Alex cursed, remembering that while his own powers ran low, Henkka still had plenty of it left. Alex stood up, expecting Henkka to be advancing on him already, but his old enemy was simply walking towards a hut, mumbling something."We have no authority in this world.""I don't believe that.""Tell that to the Turaga.""You mustn't give up."Suddenly Henkka turned and looked at Alex, looking frightened. Alex chose to assault Henkka then, aiming his sword at him and charging. Henkka screamed and sent a small cyclone to throw Alex on top of a hut. Then Henkka turned and ran, passing the gates of Ta-Koro and vanishing from sight.Alex got up, seeing Henkka just before he vanished. He's using the Huna, Alex thought.OOC: Henkka to Le-Wahi.

IC: Ayra:"Tairel! What's wrong?!" Ayra cried out as she grabbed him. "Who is Ga'mal?"

But Tairel couldn't hear the Ko-Toa. He was already deep into his vision and there would be no escaping it until it was over. Now, Ayra just had to wait and watch Tairel go into the "seizures" if you would.Tairel runs toward Ga'mal, sword in hand. He didn't want to fight again, but he would protect the Ga-Matoran from the Vortixx."Ga'mal!" he yells again. The Ta-Toa swings his sword toward Ghar-Knel, but misses.From Ayra's position, she could just see Tairel swinging his sword in the air; dangerously close to the Ko-Toa.-Mef Man

IC: Ayra:"Stop!" Ayra echoed out as she used her Matatu to stop his body from movement.

Tairel tries to swing his blade at Ghar-Knel again, but he was stuck in place. He grunts as he watches the Vortixx swing his blade toward the Toa--but he soon disappeared.The Ta-Toa was in a white room; white as far as he could see. It was just him suspended in the air; until he heard the flapping of wings."Go to her."Tairel opens his eyes before trying to looks around. Like in his vision; the Toa was stuck in place. He tries to cry out, but he couldn't move his mouth either.-Mef Man

IC: Ayra:Ayra releases her grip as she realized Tairel's seizure was over. "Tairel, what happened?" Ayra looked at Tairel, worried.

"A vi-" he breathes in heavily,"vision." Tairel looks back to his desk and takes a seat behind it. Breathing in more, Tairel runs his hand over the top of his Mask. Looking up at Ayra, he says,"I need to go to Ga-Wahi."-Mef Man

IC: [Stronin/Ril]Stronin slammed against the wall, having taking a direct hit from Ril's fist, which was currently on fire. He groaned as he got off the floor, rage evident in his eyes."I am going to make you wish for death," he hissed, before charging again, hoping to take the other Toa down with a tackle.Except Ril moved to the side, letting him crash into another wall."Sorry," said the Toa of Fire cheerfully. "Can't play with you any longer. I need to chase down a prisoner."With that, Ril left the room, leaving Stronin lying against the wall, exhausted and angry. He sighed, and began to think of ways to make the other Toa's life miserable. That was when he remembered that he was still in the prison building, and should escape quickly."This is madness," he muttered as he walked off.

IC: Ayra:"Let me come with you-- I don't care what Riaril wants me to do, I just want to help you," Ayra told Tairel, putting her arm on his shoulder.

The Ta-Toa smiles at Ayra before looking back to Riaril's door. "Okay. We'll tell the other doctors then we'll leave."A few minutes later, he had done just that and the two were heading out of the door. "Are you sure you're up to the trip?"OOC: Fearless/Kugh, Tairel just told the doctors to get on deck, btw.-Mef Man

IC: Ayra:"I will never leave you, Tairel," Ayra said before kissing him straight on.

Tairel stops dead in his tracks as the Toa presses her lips against his. The Ta-Toa's eyes open wide before he slowly closes them. Now, there was no rushing off to help Ga'mal; there was no worry or visions. It was just him and her. And that was enough to make him, finally, relax.-Mef Man

IC: Ayra:"Tairel, ready to go?" Ayra said as she disengaged from the moment and packed up some hospital gear.
