BZPRPG: Kini-Nui

IC (Naru):Naru's eyes narrowed ever so slightly."I would advice you not to try anything. We already trounced his partner, whom our friends should have dragged to Le-Koro by now. The one we followed here has seemingly been eaten by Rahi, though I doubt he would go down that easily. If you want to find and kill him: go ahead, saves us the trouble. If you are here to mess with us, however... forget it."

IC: Pirok"That'd be Echelon. I wouldn't suggest fighting him. You don't fight Echelon; You stare in relative disbelief while pointing out to other people that they're ruining your plans." Pirok shot a glare at Torv, not having forgiven him for causing his plan to bring Echelon down to fail. "I don't suggest it. But, if you wanna trail him as a reanimated corpse for the rest of eternity, be my guest."

IC (Mataiti, Kini-Nui):"Believe it", Mataiti added, standing firmly next to his idol.

IC: ArgentumArgentum: Believe this - the reason you lost was because you were being tossed around like ragdolls. No chance to focus, no chance to fight.Thing is, I can completely stop his magnetic forces, and send a few of my own. Blocked? No problem. His undead can easily be taken down by either a magnet or my mask - which I can then use to control my sword to chop him up into Toafu. Now, you can bargain all you want, but where is he.I'd do anything for that information.

IC (Naru):"Speak for yourself. Undead rip and tear with brute force, as they have no elemental power left. But as I'm sure they would find out, it's hard to punch a cloud of super-heated, ionized gas."Naru created a small wisp of glowing plasma in her hand to illustrate. She then let it drift away and fade, not wanting to waste any energy on empty air."As for where he is... you would do anything, you say?" The Toa of Plasma bore a mischievous grin. "I would weigh my words carefully, if I were you. Especially considering we would want payment up front. But no, I'm just messing with you. I don't know his location, so your guess is as good as mine."

IC: ArgentumArgentum: Undead beings are still made of metal, and they are still solid.He went north. The problem is, WHICH north. Above ground of below ground. And yes, I would do anything provided it doesn't take a long time.

IC: Pirok"I heard something of his conversation with Vidar. I think they were headed through Onu-Wahi."

IC: Argentum/JLArgentum:.......Thanks. At least nobody did anything they would regret.He headed towards the direction of the Le-Koro highway, weapons at the ready.=====JL: Well, the map seems accurate, seeing as its a tiny stone. The locations marked on it... do you know anything about them?OOC: Argentum to Onu-Wahi.

IC (Mataiti, Kini-Nui):"Well, what is our next move?" Mataiti asked Pirok.

IC: Pirok"It looks like they're Koro's... But it's slightly inaccurate, almost as if he's not aiming for the Koro, but something in it..." Pirok commented. He turned it over and looked at the other side. "And what's the drawing of a bell got to do with it? Do you think it's a red herring?"

IC: JLJL: Well, the only thing we actually know is inside of your head, Invisible. So, if you know the exact location of these marks, tell us exactly where these places are, and how it links towards the bell.

IC: Pirok, The Shadow (In a flashback) & Invisible"He never told me the exact plan." Invisible had taken the stone tablet and was looking at it. What are these marks? I know that I know it...Suddenly, he had a flashback.400+ Years Ago:"Invisible, I need you to take these across the island. The spots where you need to take them are marked here." The Shadow handed over a six large bells, and a stone tablet. "The back shows a diagram of how it needs to be hung up."In the Present:"The bells were taken to the marks on the map. The back shows a diagram of how I was supposed to hang them up. I have no idea why they needed taken to there, though."Suddenly, a thought occurred to Pirok."Didn't Pulse say he was using the same plan? He'd know exactly what these were for, and they'd provide a clue as to what he was doing."

IC (Mataiti, Kini-Nui):Mataiti was all baffled by the talk about bells. He looked at his companions, trying to comprehend what he's just heard.

IC: JLJL: What bells, why does it need to be hung up like this, and exactly where. And there are six markings, so probably 6 bells. Since its in each area, its probably to either give off something, or perhaps relay it. Maybe a message or something, activated by something else, I don't know. But I don't think we should ask Pulse - who knows what would happen if we let him even see this thing.

IC: Pirok & InvisibleInvisible noticed that Mataiti looked confused, and handed him the tablet, so that he could look at it, and understand what they were talking about."I don't know. He handed me six bells, and told me to hang them up in a place in each Wahi.""I don't mean to show it to Pulse, or to ask him; I meant that we should warn the others. Even now, Pulse might be trying to escape." Pirok pointed out. "They ought to be given some idea of what he's up to."

IC: JLJL: The largest problem is that we DON'T know what he is planning. The best way to search for clues would be to actually go to each of the bells. Find out why that exact place, and why that exact position was chosen, by actually seeing it in person.

IC: Pirok"Alright then. Le-Koro's closest. Invisible?" Pirok turned to Invisible.IC: Invisible"The bell in Le-Wahi is near the Nui-Rama hive."IC: Proditor"Alright, being eaten alive sounds fun." It was impossible to tell whether Proditor meant this seriously or as a joke.IC: Pirok"You're not alive, though." Pirok pointed out.IC: Proditor"Fine then, being eaten conscious sounds like fun." Proditor corrected.

IC (Naru):"Bells. What kind of evil plan revolves around bells?" Naru was a bit annoyed at this turn of events. "I'd say it shouldn't be too hard to fix. Get there, destroy the bell. Heck, I'll torch the hive while I'm at it, if that's the problem. I'm not sure why nobody's done that yet, Nui-Rama use very flammable materials."

IC: JLJL: Destroy, or retrieve? As for finding it..... It would be better if we all stayed quiet when we went there...but....Is the bell INSIDE or OUTSIDE of it? And we should probably go quickly. Time is against us - We currently have no idea what Merror and the others are facing.OOC: Please don't make it too far inside, I don't know what on earth it is inside anyways. A hive? Looks like what? Lots of them sleeping on the floor or in holes? Srsly, no idea.

OOC: Haven't you played MNOG, JL?IC: Invisible"Outside, just at the entrance." Invisible answered.IC: Pirok"I say we retrieve the bells. For all we know, they may not even BE bells. Heck, they could be explosives!" Pirok pointed out.

IC: JLJL: Then we deactivate them. If its just the entrance, we should be able to pass without disturbing anyone - provided the bell doesn't make massive noise, light and heat. But first, I believe we should tell Merror and the others. OOC: JL to Le-Wahi.

IC: Pirok"Good idea." Pirok decided not to point out that going to Merror was his idea.OOC: Pirok, Proditor & Invisible to Le-Wahi

IC (Mataiti, Kini-Nui):Seeing the others depart suddenly, Mataiti ran after them.OOC: Mataiti to Le-Wahi.

IC: The ShadowThe Shadow climbed out of the tunnel. It hadn't worked out well; He had been attacked by a Rahi upon leaving Invisible, and had to climb into a hole on the ground. He had lost his hat, and his coat was in tatters. He had found out that that hole was a tunnel; A tunnel which was populated by Rahkshi. He had only just managed to escape."Those... fools. They think they can destroy my plan? They have another thing coming..."The Shadow set off into the jungle, headed towards Le-Wahi...OOC: He really is a shadow now; Believed dead, no body found... He's really living up to my expectations now.The Shadow to Le-Wahi.

OOC: Tanuka from Po-Wahi.PO-WAHI/KINI-NUI BORDERKINI-NUI, 0847 HRS"Lewa's Axe it feels sooooo much better here than Po-Wahi." Tanuka said appearing to perk up a little with the reduced heat.

IC(Agarin): Agarin pulled his arms back and stretched."I second that." He said exasperatedly.

OOC: Nen from Po-WahiIC Nen:Nen looked around at the terrain. "Much more varied scenery too," he observed

"It is prettier here." Tanuka said looking around before giving a sad sigh."But... so many ghosts... countless Matoran...and some of the newcomers lay here too in death." She gave a small shiver. "VVVVvvvVVvvVvv... I think one passed right through me." She said with a small bit of fear.

OOC: Ara'kas and Kamaehu from Po-Wahi.IC: Two Toa walked in from the desert of Po-Wahi. They were as like as dawn and dusk. But differences could be put aside. It was purposes that guided them. "So, how do you wind up in Ko-Wahi anyway?" Asked Ara'kas, still scowling at the thought of the matoran Kamaehu had been traveling with. "For that matter, why did you leave Ta-wahi?" Kamaehu hesitated before answering, instinctively running his hand over a scar on his shoulder. "I was sent to survey the land. The final test of wartime. I fear, for right now, the land is passing. But we can speak of this later." He gestured to three young toa a little ways away. "We've found what we were tracking." OOC: Too slow, you guys can't run away now.

OOC: Flee Tanuka! Flee!IC: "Hmm?" Tanuka glanced at the moving people behind them. "Hey guys it's Kamaehu and... I don't know the other one... HEY KAMAEHU! OVER HERE!" Tanuka yelled waving at the two figures behind them.OOC: No you silly girl! The other way! Run the other way!

IC: Kamaehu nodded, walking briskly towards the Tanuka. "Welcome. Here is the situation. Kalama has gone to track down Hafu. Cyrax and Thama went to find Taipu. We came to recover you three."

Tanuka gave him a confused look. "Track down Hafu? I thought we were going to find Kopeke." She said.

OOC: As it turns out, Nen is actually a pretty old toa. He just acts like a loon because that's who he is. But he does know what he's doing. UsuallyIC Nen:"Well, if Kalama split from Thama and Cyrax, he'd probably go after the marines, right? So where should the five of us go? I mean, The only two company members still missing are Kapura and Taipu. Maybe we should go help Thama and Cyrax in Onu-Koro?"

"But... what about Kapura?" Tanuka asked. "What will happen to him? And why are we not going after Kopeke?"

IC: Kamaehu shook his head. "The marines have Kopeke. He's safe. We should either rally with them or find Kapura."

"Well what did Kalama say?" Tanuka asked. "Surely he had some sort of plan in place."

IC: "Not really." Kamaehu shrugged. "If you want, we can go to Rock Frost and wait for the others, or we can do something useful. Tanuka, you don't always have to follow Kalama. You need to learn to trust yourself."

IC, Xibre: Xibre had noticed the group from the treeline. Visitors? Good... I'll have a talk with 'em he thought to himself. He jumped down onto a fallen log near the group. " 'Ello chums! What brings you to this part of Kini-Nui Land?"OOC: Yes, Kalama, my character is talking to you!

OOC: Kalama isn't here right now, he's in Ko-Wahi battling a Muaka. Tanuka can take a message and Kalama can get back to you after she gets done with her little freak out session.IC: "Not really? NOT REALLY?"These two very words seem to freak out the Toa of Water as she completely ignored anything that followed after them."But...but...but...he's...he's Kalama! He's always got some plan or another in place!"This seemed to send the Toa into hysterics. "Mata-Nui! What if something's happened to him? He's lost somewhere or-or-or hurt or worse! We gotta go find him!"

OOC: No, I meant Kalama as in you, not Kalama as in the BZPRPG character. Sorry for the confusion :PIC, Xibre: The Ga-Toa was starting to freak out about something that the Ta-Toa had said. "Calm yourself, miss! I'm sure Kalama is just fine. And before you start asking, yes, I know him. Well, not really, he was just more of an acquaintance when I was still living in Ga-Koro. We passed each other multiple times..." He cleared his throat. "As I was saying, if Kalama can do what I could not, then he can probably do anythin'."
