(Daylah)
"Oh, it's alright," she replies, but (after hearing the being know her) she looked up to the Skakdi's face. He looked familar but who-oh! Of course; it was that Skakdi who came in the hospital. The wounds he had were the worst she had seen when she was at the hospital."Feldnok!" Daylah says, happily. "I've been doing great; how about you? Those wounds weren't exactly just a scrape."-Mef Man
IC: Feldnok"I'm doing fine. little bored. As you can see, my wounds haven't really left any marks on me with the exception of a few scars here and there. Kind of nice to bump into a friendly face; I've decided that I'm going to go travelling a little so I won't be back for a while." explained Feldnok. With that, he wondered: where did he want to go?He had been to Le-Wahi too often, the Skakdi of water couldn't stand the heat in Ta-Koro, neither could he stomach the dry desert of Po-Wahi. That left him with Ko-Wahi and Onu-Wahi. Both were rarely visited and as he debated on which Wahi he should travel to, Feldnok suddenly remembered the Kumu Islets."I think I'm going to go to the Kumu Islets. Never been there."
IC(Daylah)
"Good to hear," she replies, still smiling. At the sound of the Kumu Islets, the Matoran's face turned to one of concern. "Are you sure you want to go there? It's pretty rough there; full of criminals and the sort. Maybe Kini-Nui would be better. There's quite a few artifacts there that are very exciting," Daylah adds, but she knew that was no place for such a Skakdi like Feldnok. You couldn't tie him down inside a museum; he needed to explore wide and vast areas.-Mef Man
IC: Feldnok"Why not? I'm more than capable of taking care of criminals. That and I'm out of shape; sounds like the kind of place where you toughen up." As nice as Kini-Nui sounded, Skakdi didn't belong there. Their impulsive and violent nature compelled them to seek action they could find pleasure in. Violence tended to be the most popular form of it."It's just like tasting food; if you haven't tried it, eat it. If you don't like it, then just don't order it again."
IC(Daylah)
Daylah nods her head before placing a friendly hand on the Skakdi's arm. "Okay, but be careful. I don't want to have to be the one to patch you up again," she says, smiling. "But, make sure to stop by again when you're finished in the Islets. I live right over there," adds the Matoran, pointing toward a nearby hut.-Mef Man
IC: Feldnok"Thank you. I'll make sure to come back and visit, hopefully with no new scars to mark my handsome face." he joked. "Well then, I believe it's time for me to be off. Who knows, maybe I could keep in touch through letters. Nice seeing you, Daylah!"With that, Feldnok made his way to the Ga-Koro docks which were in the process of being rebuilt due to a recent fight that ensued. Scanning the area, he found a boat with its owner yelling something about heading to the Kumu Islets. Even with the low prices he was charging, Feldnok wasn't entirely surprised that he had no customers; like Daylah said, the place was crawling with criminals."I'll gladly take a ride there." said the Skakdi, handing double the amount of widgets he had to pay which caused the boat owner to brighten up. In a matter of minutes, he was off at sea to the Kumu Islets.OOC: Feldnok to the Kumu Islets.
IC(Daylah)
Daylah waves goodbye to the being before placing her hands over each other on her heartlight. Each hand was making the sign of love as she closed her eyes and prayed for a safe journey. After a few minutes, she turns around and heads back to the street to try to find a job.OOC: Daylah open for interaction again.-Mef Man
IC [Rulsik - Ga-Wahi]: Rulsik had crossed over the border earlier, having left Po-Wahi and entered Ga-Wahi. As many said when visiting, it was a beautiful setting with lakes of sparkling water. The Matoran here seemed to be incredibly happy with their lives, even though the threat of the Makuta was directly over them. It disgusted Rulsik.Rulsik hated the idea of these peaceful Matoran, trying to live out their lives in happiness. Happiness was a fool's dream. Mata-Nui was meant to be the Matoran's home, not Makuta's or the Toa. Yet here they were, so content to let a small military and so-called 'heroes' protect them. Rulsik spit as he stood over the lake. He couldn't let his hatred throw him off, though. He'd come here for followers... While it seemed strange to look for warriors and fighters in such a peaceful place, there were many young and nubile minds here, just waiting to be picked..."Let's start...." The red and yellow Matoran muttered as he began to search.
OOC: Zealokan and Payiges from Po-WahiIC: Zealokan, PayigesSprinting as fast as his legs would carry him, which was faster that most beings to to being a Toa of Kinetics, he soon caught up to his blue companion.'Gah! Where did you come from?' 'Po-Wahi, duh! Dekuna suggested I come along, my Kinetics powers will give us a bit of a speed boost. She just nodded, as they ran into the village of Ga-Koro.They calmly walked into the inn, as if they had never been there before. 'Ahhh, how I missed you, inn-with-the-nice-tea.' 'That's precisely what we're here for.' Zealokan walked up to the bar. 'Excuse me, umm, hi you wouldn't happen to have any of that Epic Tea, would you?' The Ga-Matoran barmaid turned to look at him. 'Actually, you're in luck. That barrel there contains the last of that 'Epic Tea' for this week.' He sighed in relief. 'Looks like we got here in the nick of time. Mind filling two flasks for us?' 'Certainly.' The barmaid replied cheerfully, before grabbing two flasks. Whilst she poured them, Payiges asked 'You wouldn't happen to know what it's made out of, would you?' 'Sorry, I have no idea. I suspect the product comes from Le-Wahi, but I'm only speculating.' The barmaid handed one flask to each Toa. 'That'll be five widgets, please.' Zealokan all of a sudden looked very nervous. 'What's wrong?' Payiges whispered. 'I don't have the money,' Zealokan whispered in reply. 'Eh-hem, five widgets.' The barmaid insisted, sounding slightly irritated. The two Toa looked at each other, nodded.... and ran. 'Hey! Stop, thieves!''Well, we got the Tea at least.' Zealokan laughed. 'I'll pay her back doubly next time we go to Ga-Wahi. Or hope that she forgets. Whichever comes first.' The swamp quickly turned to desert, as they sprinted on to Po-Wahi, the power of Kinetics helping them along the way.OOC: Zealokan and Payiges to Po-Wahi. Quick, right?
OOC: I'll interact with you, Cool-Aid.
IC(Daylah)
Daylah notices a being far away."Wonder what he wants," she mumbles as she waits for him to get closer. The Matoran had never seen someone so cruel looking in her life. It, somewhat, frightened her.-Mef Man
IC: MekrofHe had hired a construction company in town to put together his grand fortification. Part of it was original, part of it was from an old castle that had fallen into disrepair over the years that was rebuilt by a Toa with a Mask of Regeneration. It was almost finished. The complex spanned across a nearby river, so the bridge was still only halfway built. Mekrof gazed at his masterpiece.He was going to meet with one of his commanders later to discuss battle strategy. But that was later.For now, he relaxed in his private quarters, waiting...
IC - Off the Coast: The growing of the tide went relatively unnoticed as it began to stir, a respectable way away from the shores of Ga-Wahi and Ga-Koro. As a matter of fact, it seemed so insignifcant that it seemed unnecessary for anyone to pay it any mind -- no doubt it was some Rahi or an odd water current that was upturning the waters just a bit harder than usual. But no. It was beginning to grow, and grow, and grow -- and it wasn't long beforea vast, isolated whirlpool had formed, about twelve feet in diameter, picking up speed and turning, swirling violently. It wasn't near Ga-Koro, and as such it wasn't a danger to the Village of Water. Nevertheless, were one foolish enough to go near, they might have seen the being within its center, presumably the cause of the disturbance. The movements of its arms would make it seem as if it were causing the whirlpool to occur for no purpose other than simply to do so. On closer inspection, however, it would become obvious -- very rapidly obvious -- that those were the movements of a being stuck underwater.OOC: I lied. Now I'm back.
IC: Mekrof, Yerith, Yu'rekMekrof looked outside. Hm, it was starting to rain. BOOM! Lightning. It was turning into a dark and stormy night...Yerith and Yu'rek hopped off of the ferry from Ta-Wahi and began to search the area."I think I can see it on the skyline," Yu'rek said, pointing to the shoddy fortress.Yerith nodded and they both climbed up the foothills to get a better look. The walls surrounding the towers were high."Can't get in unless we learn how to fly," Yerith mumbled."Then how do we get in?" Yu'rek sighed."Well, we can't be sure this is even Mekrof's fortress," Yerith said. "So let's assume it is. He will have more security than we can handle. Then, he'll have heavy artillery surrounding him. Big Zamor launchers, nasty if you get hit. And if you get past those, how are we going to spy on him without getting noticed? We fly in.""How do we do that?" Yu'rek asked."Pordal and I always find a way," Yerith answered. Then he winced. Pordal was dead. He would have to figure this one out on his own...They walked into town and entered a nearby pub as the rain began coming down.Mekrof gazed out at the pair fleeing from him. It seemed his walls were a match for that task force. He smirked and sat down in his chair at the head of the table. They would be back. And Mekrof would get them.The rain began to fall.
IC: Kirian, Ga-KoroKirian walked among the crowds of ga-matoran, his thin frame sticking out among all the short, blue beings.OOC: Open for interaction.
OOC: I'll interact, Darkon.
IC(Daylah)
Daylah turned away from the rocks before turning around and walking back into Ga-Koro. She accidentally bumps into Kirian and falls down on her back side."Oh, I'm terribly sorry," she apologizes.-Mef Man
IC: Kirian, Ga-KoroKirian looked down at the Matoran that bumped into him, who had began to apologize. "Don't be." He murmured in his Icy voice as he offered his hand (To grab and then lift yourself up, not to shake). As he did this, the wind blew off the hood of his cloak, revealing his scar.
IC(Daylah)
Daylah accepts the hand while looking at the being's face. There was a nasty scar on his face, but the Matoran made it a point to look him in the eye instead of the scar."I'm afraid I've been side tracked and haven't been watching where I am," explains Daylah while smiling kindly at the being.-Mef Man
IC: Kirian, Ga-KoroKirian lifted the Matoran up. "Luckily for you, i'm friendlier than I look." He said as he re-adjusted his hood.
IC(Daylah)
Daylah holds out her hand to help the being place the hood back on himself."Here, let me help you with that."-Mef Man
IC: Yerith, Yu'rek"It's really starting to pour, now," Yerith stated, looking out of the window of the bar."We should find a place to stay the night," Yu'rek said, getting up."That's exactly what Mekrof's guards would think," Yerith said, putting a hand on his teammate's shoulder. "We go in when there's a minimal patrol. Just need to find some big piece of cloth, some rope, and a high ledge."Parachutes? Interesting. But the market must be closed because of the rain. Maybe there was an inside shop still open.Yerith walked out into the rain and looked around. It was raining just before Pordal died.If all went well, it'll be raining right before he killed Mekrof.OOC: Yerith and Yu'rek open for interaction.
OOC:http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=114&st=4800&p=138454&&do=findComment&comment=138454Like i said in that earlier post in Ta-Wahi,the unconscious Matu would wash downstream into Ga-Wahi.Matu the chronicler has arrived at Ga-Wahi,continuing his quest of knowledge and his want to explore the island!IC(Matu):Matu felt a cold feeling,like he was in water.The chronicler found himself floating-in the middle of an ocean!He saw he was only a mile off shore,and that there were great statues standing on the beach,statues made of pure marble.He tried to swim to shore,but he didn't go far when he started drowning.All of a sudden,a giant Tarakava came out of the water,and plunged straight at Matu.Matu,seeing a giant sword sticking out of the rocks underwater,he quickly plunged underwater to retrieve the sword.The sword felt heavy,and old,and it looked like it belonged to a powerful Toa warrior,but that warrior must've fallen in battle.Grasping the sword with all his strength,he puled it out of the rock,causing the rock to split.With the powerful sword in his hand,and the Tarakava plunging straight for him,he swung the sword. What happened next,Matu did not know,for the water was turning red because of blood that was coming out of somewhere.Matu then saw the Tarakava's body floating,head gone.Matu had a direct hit at it's head! Now all he needed to do was get to shore,so he swam and swam,and swam,until he felt no more water,but soft sand instead.All of a sudden,he was noticed by two Matoran guards. The guards were coming off of their viewing platform and walked straight for Matu."What is your name"?"Matu,i am Matu,the chronicler"."A chronicler,hmm,come with us,Turaga Nokama needs to see you.Wow,they were going to take him to Turaga Nokama herself!Matu was so excited that he was thinking of writing of this place in his journal.Then,after a 15-minute walk,he was finally at Ga-Koro's bridge.The houses were made out of some kind of plant,and they were floating on the water.The two guards led him to a guest inn."This is a guest inn,all our visitors come here. Your guest hut is right around the corner over there".They led him to one of the nicest inns,made especially for a Ta-Matoran."This is your guest hut,if you need any help,ring this bell. I am Rengus,and this is my brother,Ringus".The guards left,and Matu got out his guide book and wrote a lot of notes about Ga-Koro,The Tarakava,the sword at the bottom of the shallow bay,the beach,the statues,the guards and their guard tower,Ga-Koro,the guest inn,and finally,his hut.After taking so many notes,he decided to eat a Pong fruit,a Ga-Wahi fruit.Then,he fell on the soft mat,and took a long-needed nap....OOC(again...)Rengus and Ringus are open for interaction,since i made them up.If you want to interact with them,just go 15 minutes east of Ga-Koro,and you will find their guard tower,but if they are not there,they will probably be in Ga-Koro,or at the Ga-Engos,an ancient temple now used as a fort/meeting place for the Ga-Wahi guards.In case you want to know,Rengus-female,Ringus-male.Matu is not open for interaction,since he is taking a long-needed nap right now.
IC: Kirian, Ga-KoroKirian twitched as the being helped him, showcasing the fact that he wasn't use to kindness.
IC(Daylah)
"There you are," says Daylah while straigthening the hood. "Why, you look as if you haven't seen a good deed done to you in a while, have you? You a stranger in town?"-Mef Man
IC: Kirian, Ga-KoroKirian nodded. "I'm from Ka-Wahi. I live in the icy wastes." He said as he smiled down at the Matoran, an un-practiced feature. "Kirian." He said, extending his hand for a shake.
IC: Yerith, Yu'rek"Looks like we're going this one alone," Yerith said, spitting on the ground. The spit was red."You shoulda gotten a checkup when we were at the hospital," Yu'rek mumbled. "Mata Nui knows, you might have a broken leg."Yerith shrugged. He could walk fine. They walked into the market. Luckily, there was a shop still open in a hut. They purchased a good amount of canvas and rope."One's for backup," he explained.Cut a few holes in the material, loop, and knot. Four parachutes.Now was the hike. Yerith and Yu'rek climbed up into the swampy foothills of Ga-Wahi. Once they had found a discreet hill that overlooked the fortress, Yerith nodded.Yu'rek jumped. They sailed through the air for a moment before he let go of his rope. The canvas bloomed out behind him, slowing his fall. If they angled this right, they should get into the walls without crashing to their death and undetected. The pair hit the ground."We're in," Yerith said, already beginning to dodge into the courtyard.
IC(Daylah)
"Daylah," she replies, taking the hand and doing a courtsy-type movement. "Well, welcome to Ga-Koro. Do you have a place to stay; or are you just passing through?"-Mef Man
IC: Yerith, Yu'rekYerith pulled his knife out of his sheath and stalked forward silently."Don't kill what you can't cover up," he said to his teammate.Yu'rek nodded and loaded his flaming crossbow. The pair went through the courtyard until they reached some sort of outpost built into the castle walls. The security room. Maybe.Yerith opened the door, slowly. Nope. Guard uniform closet. No time to blend in, though. Yerith directed his partner around the next corner. There was another protruding room on the far end.Yu'rek sprinted across the grass to reach it.Yerith slowly opened the door. Here was the security post. He tackled one guard, punching him across the face, throwing him against the wall, then plunging the knife into his throat.At the same time, Yu'rek shot several flaming crossbow bolts into the second guard."This should keep the place quiet until someone notices something's wrong," he whispered."That should give us enough time to get inside," Yerith said, running out and closing the door behind him. "Let's go."Yu'rek followed his captain toward a cliff. Above was a bridge. They began the climb. Since the bridge was still under construction, it was a bit unstable."Shoot a couple of the beams," Yerith commanded. "When we get out, the beams will have burnt through, and we should get a safe enough exit while destroying any resistance coming our way."Yu'rek nodded and shot a few random beams. They caught almost immediately. They continued the climb until they reached the top. Then they entered the great building.A great peal of thunder sounded.And they were in.
IC: Kirian, Ga-Koro"Looking for someone, actually." Kirian replied. "Tall fellow, around 9', and doesn't wear a mask. Sticks out in a crowd."
IC(Daylah)
"Do you know his name?" she asks the being, not sure who he was talking about.-Mef Man
IC: Kirian, Ga-KoroKirian nodded. "Well, He might have changed it, but he used to be called Hound."
IC(Daylah)
"Now, I'm sure I would've remembered a name like that," replies Daylah. "But, I'm afraid I don't know who you're talking about. Sorry." The "good Samaritan" inside of the Matoran made her ask,"Are you staying for the night; or just passing through?"-Mef Man
IC: Kirian, Ga-Koro"Probably staying the night, but who knows, I might find him by luck." Kirian said, touched by this Matoran's kindness. After all, it wasn't everyday you meet someone like that. Especially for a war-hardened hunter who lived in the icy wastes.
IC(Daylah)
"Well, if you need a place to stay, just drop by that hut whenever and I'll put you up in my guest room," she explains to the being; while pointing toward her hut.-Mef Man
IC: Kirian, Ga-Koro"That's awfully kind of you, ma'am." He said as he began to walk off. "See you tonight, unless I'm lucky."
IC(Daylah)
"Safe travels, friend," replies Daylah while forming the sign of love on her hands before crossing them together and placing them over her heartlight. Closing her eyes, she says a quick prayer for the being and continues on her way of trying to find work.I didn't even get his name...Daylah notices a storm forming in the bay; and perhaps a water spout. Better get inside and board the windows...OOC: Daylah open for interaction.-Mef Man
IC: Yerith, Yu'rek, MekrofYerith stalked the hallways. All of them were empty. It seemed the meeting was taking up some attention. Speaking of which, he heard voices coming from above. One in particular caught his attention."Don't worry, commander. One of the captains is dead.""Mekrof," Yerith hissed. "Yu'rek, I think the meeting room is above us. Smash the wall down and time it with the thunder. We'll climb up via the support beams."Yu'rek nodded. Together, they smashed in the wall, timing it with the thunder outside so that no one noticed. Then they climbed up through the beams, until they got a good perch looking through a hole in the shoddy wall.The Skakdi of Gravity was pacing the room, talking to a few of his most trusted men."Mekrof," Yerith growled.How would they kill him? There were too many guards in this place. They wouldn't be able to get out. All right, Mekrof would live to see another day."Has the island met our demands?" Mekrof asked his commander."No," the Skakdi answered. "But we think we may have hold of a valuable trading piece that will ensure us access to the weapons."They weren't talking about Mata Nui, that was for sure. It must be another island at which Mekrof was at war."Well use it fast," Mekrof said. "Now, as I'm sure you know, I shall be relocating to the desert if anything bad happens. But for now, Captain Yerith and his allies--'A door flung open. A young Skakdi page ran in."Master Mekrof," he panted. "Bad news. Just got it.""Spit it out," Mekrof growled, pulling out his pistol.The page's back spines bristled for a moment. "We lost the war. There was a force, allies of Captain Yerith, who came in and rescued the packages. The team was killed in the escape, but the Turaga made it out and finished peace talks. We lost."Mekrof fumed for a moment. Then he left the room.He would head to the desert.Something bad did happen.Finally, something good happened. Yu'rek, Nik-Kolii, the Turaga of the undisclosed island had all won the war.Yerith's war ended with Mekrof.He signaled for Yu'rek to go. They exited the way they came in, only to meet the full force of guards on the bridge.He nodded.Yu'rek saw the signal and aimed for one of the ropes holding the bridge up. The bottom beams should have burnt through, but they were still being held up by the ropes. One shot and...CRASH!The entire bridge collapsed, taking all of the guards down with it. More guards rushed out of the fortress complex. Since the thing was made mostly out of wood, Yu'rek thought it would be a good idea to set the place ablaze. A few flaming crossbow bolts and they pair ran to the wrecked bridge."Jump!" Yerith yelled. "And pull your backup 'chute!"Yu'rek thought that everything about this raid was crazy, but he did as he was told. Once more they were slowly drifting down the foothills. Then they started rising again."Updraft!" Yerith called out. "Try not to land in the bay!"Yu'rek tilted himself toward the ground. Once more they slowly descended until the pair crashed into the center of the Ga-Koro village.Yerith knocked the canvas off of himself and looked up at a nice young little Ga-Matoran."Um, hello," he said, standing up. Then he turned to face the foothills. The burning fortress lit the rainy night. Then he looked down at his parachute and his canvas-draped Skakdi comrade. "Long story," he added, taking a slight step backwards.
IC(Daylah)
"Um, hi," replies Daylah to the being who had just landed in front of her. "Are...you okay?"-Mef Man
IC: Yerith, Yu'rek"We're fine," Yerith said, wiping the sweat off of his brow. "Just had a bit of a battle up in the foothills."Then he turned to Yu'rek."Get up, mate," he snapped, prodding him with his foot.Yu'rek tossed the canvas parachute off of himself and stood beside his captain."I'm up," the Skakdi said. "That was a bit of a hard landing.""Oh, please we landed on a plant," Yerith scoffed. Then he remembered the Matoran. "We're fine," he repeated. "But I think jumping off of a destroyed bridge was a bit of a step too far for my friend here."Yu'rek rolled his eyes at the Toa's comment.
IC(Daylah)
Daylah's eyes open wide from the beings's words. She takes a step back and does the same sign over her heart she had done earlier and closes her eyes; scared from the rambling the beings were saying.-Mef Man
IC: Yerith, Yu'rekThe Toa of Iron took another step backwards."Is something wrong?" he asked. "Was it something we said?"Yu'rek decided to keep his mouth shut once more.
