BZPRPG: Ko-Wahi

OOC: Actually, you were a bit behind the three when you left. IC(Ariga and co.): "Snelly! Oh, I'm in a much better mood now!" Ariga grabbed a sword and scabbard, threw some widgets at the shopkeep(Quite literally), and walked up to Snelly. "Did you happen to follow us here?"Rivera grabbed a bow and some arrows. "Thanks." IC(LoveMardi): The toa of Plantlife repeated the same procedure she did with the Ice Moss. The rock would be somewhere near the moss, due to a symbiotic relationship between the two. She continued into the caves of Mt. Ihu. IC(Baron): The Baron lay in the snow, frozen, and in pain. "H...help...me..." His heartlight was growing fainter.

IC: Eamerzon: Ko-Koro: Eamerzon awoke from her cavern. It felt like eons passed by. Most times when she slept were like that. She noticed on her window celling it was around mid-noon and she decided she wanted to get a start on another prophecy. Eamerzon took off her covers, strapped her armor on, slipped her mask on, grabbed her cloak from the rack, coiled her whip, and busted out of the door. OOC: Open fr interaction. (Specifically a male interested in Eamerzon.) http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/sarcastic.gif

IC: Snelly "Uh, yes I was! I decided to help you with this Cybervortixx problem, I couldn't live with myself if I ignored something like this." Snelly went up to the shopkeeper. "I'll take a pack of throwing daggers." Snelly threw a couple widgets into a pot.

IC(Ariga and co.): "Of course. There are always the brave ones...or the foolish ones. Be warned. The Cybervortixx have no fears, no nightmares-well, except for me-and no sense of mercy. If you are truly sure, please, come with us. If not, go. Save yourself." Ariga went into a rather serious mode. "Are you sure you want to come?"

IC: Terralo to Ezio"No," said the Vortixx. "I'm afraid not. I'm...a bit of a drifter when it comes to living situations."

IC: Snelly "Yep, completely sure, believe me, I don't do this lightly."

IC: Eamerzon: Ko-Koro: Eamerzon strolled into the Wall of Prophecy, said hi to a couple of her Matoran friends, and began to work on the data she recieved form the front desk. She carved writing into the icy wall as she hummed to herself. OOC: Open for interaction... again

IC(Ariga and co.): "Fine. My name is not Ariga, it is an assumed name. My real name is not known, even to my own daughter. I am called the Doctor. The Cybervortixx are one of my many enemies. Weaknesses include gold, sonic waves, and being smashed thoroughly enough. We believe them to be in a cave in Mt. Ihu. Any questions before we set out?"

IC: Eamerzon walked out of the Wall of Prophecy, content with the work she has done. Eamerzon then took her daily routine and when to the shopkeep, where she looked at assorted items. She was gazing out into the gloomy sky when she bumped into Ariga and co. at the shopkeep.

IC: Snelly "Did I buy enough daggers?" Snelly showed them a handful of throwing daggers. Snelly noticed Eamerzon, "Well hi there. The name is Snelly. Can we help you?" OOC: Snelly will automatically follow the group. So always assume that he's with ya guys.

IC: Eamerzon: Ko-Koro: "Oh, hi. I'm Eamerzon. I was just coming here to look at the new things the shopkeep has." She turned her head to the rack and frowned. No more weapons. She turned her head back to Snelly. "Well, nothing right now." Eamerzon sighed. "What are you doing?" she said in a glum tone.

IC(Ariga and co.): "Well, we were about to go on an expedition to Mt. Ihu. Name's Ariga, this is Jeni and Rivera." He extended his hand.

IC: Eamerzon: Ko-Koro: Eamerzon shook Ariga's hand. Eamerzon had nothing else to do so she said, "I would like to come with you. Please?"

IC(Ariga and co.): Ariga sighed. "You're begging, and using an adorable face. Snelly, please explain why we're going. Then we're leaving before anyone ese joins. I don't want anyone else's lives in danger."

IC, Ezio: "Okay, then you may stay at my place for a whille as you do your training. Come. I will show you to your room." Ezio leads Terralo to a guest bedroom. It is simple, with a bed and table for belonings. There is also a shield haning over the bed. "You may stay here if you like."

IC: Snelly"Well, basically there are this group of vortixx that are completely mechanical, and apparently they want to turn everyone else into purely mechanical beings. So, where going to Mt. Ihu to find their base. Then were probably gonna go all man-hunter on them." Snelly looked at the Doctor. "Think I covered just about everything."

IC: Eamerzon: Ko-Koro: "Yay! Destroying bots' is fun!" Eamerzon giggled as she kissed Snelly on the cheek.

IC(Ariga and co.): "No. It's not. It's dangerous and life-threatening. Now, let's go." He started walking, Jeni and Rivera behind him.

IC: Snelly The kiss took Snelly by surpise. He cleared his throat. "Right! Let's go!" Snelly walked out the store and followed the group.

OOC: Sorry I'm late for the party, guys. IC: Zealokan The Silver Toa was unseen by the party travelling to stop the Cybervortixx, with the snowstorm making him unseen and unheard. Luckily, the colour green sticks out in a white background like a sore thumb. 'Hey! Guys!' He shouted, even though they couldn't hear him. Zealokan ran towards the group, praying that he wouldn't be mistaken for a Cybervortixx. OOC: Go ahead, I DARE you

IC: Eamerzon: Ko-Koro:Eamerzon saw in the distance a figure she could barely identify. She activated her Kualsi, teleporting next to Zealokan. She pulled out a dagger and put it on his throat. "Who are you?" Eamerzon said coldly.

Ic: SirrausThe Archivist reached the black, frostbitten figure and attempted to dig him out of the snowdrift quickly forming around his body. His heartlight was fading and stuttering erratically. "Hang on," Sirraus shouted over the increasingly intense wind. "We can get you to Ko-Koro! Can you walk?"Sirraus and Hari each lifted one of his arms over their shoulders and began the trek towards the isolated village with the awkward gait of two small Matoran trying to do the walking for one large Toa. The warrior's breath was shallow and rasping. They didn't have time to waste.

IC: Terralo; Ezio's HomeThe Vortixx walked over to the bed and sat down. It had a soft feel, with satin sheets softer than a Fikou spider's silk. Terralo removed a few objects from his pockets like a few knives, a folded up map of Ko-Koro, and a makeshift compass. He then hung his satchel on one of the bed posts and placed his hatchet next to it. His only belonging he had with him now was his great sword, which was strapped to his back."So. Should I rest now before we start, or shall we jump right into the training?" he said, addressing Ezio.

IC: Snelly "Woah hold on a sec!" Snelly had ran over to see who it is. That's Zealokan! He's a friend!"

IC: Zealokan He felt the cold blade of the dagger press to his neck. 'Woah, woah, woah! Relax, I'm friendly! Ask the others, they can vouch for me!' He shouted for the rest of the party. 'Guys? Who's the crazy Lightning chick?!' Then again, things could be worse. He could be alone in the Le-Wahi jungle.

IC: Eamerzom: Ko-Koro:"I'm just you ordinary Jovak my friend." Eamerzon said with a grin as she stroked Zealokan's chest.

IC: Zealokan 'Uhhh, ok.' He walked over to Snelly, and whispered in his ear '2 seconds and this girl is already weirding me out.' He then turned to the newcomer. 'Hi, I'm Zealokan, Toa of Kinetics, last of my ki-' he froze mid-sentence, his attention shifting to over the Jovak's shoulder. In the distance, he saw a massive being wearing black armour, the area surrounding him devoid of light. 'Tooooooaaaaaa' it bellowed, before a gust of wind shrouded the being behind a wall of snow. When the icy sheet cleared, the being had disappeared. He continued, hoping she wouldn't notice the pause. 'Last of my kind. And you would be?' He extended his hand, as a sign of friendliness.

IC: Eamerzon: Ko-Koro:Eamerzon shook his hand and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm Eamerzon, Jovak of Lighting. What were you looking at over my shoulder?" she asked.OOC: Try to make this next post quick cause my iPod is about to run out of juice.

IC: Zealokan 'Ummm, nothing, just.... thought I saw something, is all.' He then turned to the rest of the party. 'Right, now where are these nasty Cybervortixx?' Unbeknownst to the group, a big, bright point of light appeared in the sky, and became bigger and brighter. OOC: Second character soon to enter, just need to write profile up.

IC: Snelly Snelly pointed toward their destination, "We are currently going that way. Which is probably where the Cybervortixx are. We suspect their base is somewhere up in Mt. Ihu." OOC: Okay, going to bed now, see ya guys tomorrow.

OOC: Ok, new character profile's up, and new character in 3,2,1. IC: Zealokan 'Ok, we should probably keep going that wa-Holy Mata Nui, what is that?!' He pointed to the light in the sky, which continued getting bigger and brighter, until it became apparent that it was in fact not getting bigger, but closer. Zealokan dived out of the way of the newly arrived Toa Canister, which would've crushed him if he was a millisecond slower. He managed to recover to a standing position just as the outside hatch of the Canister opened with a hiss, the hydraulics leaking smoke, shrouding the occupant. 'Great Payiges' spirit,' he said, using his former lover's name. IC: Payiges 'How do you know my name?' She replied, slightly dazed. IC: Zealokan, Payiges The Silver Toa stepped forward, both inquisitively, and filled with joy and euphoria that she was alive. 'Payiges? Is that you?' She emerged from the smoke, a being of blue and white, her Hau-shaped Mask of Charisma, blue with a white lightning bolt pattern on the left side of it, beautifully polished until it shone. Just as he remembered her. 'Yes, and you are?' Zealokan was too excited to answer her question. 'Ha! Oh, by the Great Beings, you're alive!' He pulled her into a tight hug. She was greatly confused, and very annoyed. She shoved him away, then unsheathed one of her Shock Scimitars, and pointed it at the Silver Toa's neck. 'Who the heck are you?' Realising he was being a bit weird, he stood away, but still excitedly ask her 'How did you survive the destruction of Ve-Koro?' She lowered her sword, and cocked her head to the side. 'Ve-Koro? What are you on about? Who are you?' He then lost all trace of positivity, and told her 'Payiges, don't you remember? It's me, Zealokan.' By this point he was losing hope. She stepped backwards. 'I don't know anyone called Zealokan. I don't know anyone at all. I just woke up here. Nothing before.' Zealokan sunk to his knees, burying his head in his hands. 'Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, Mata Nui, this can't be happening!' She didn't remember him. She didn't remember anything. She turned to the others, and awkwardly stepped forward, unsure if these people were like the Silver Toa. 'Ummm, hi,' she said shyly. 'I was just wondering, ummm, because I've got no supplies or anything, could I, like, tag along with you guys?' She felt sorry for the one who called himself Zealokan. She thought he was remembering someone of the same name who had died. If only she knew. OOC: And yes, she is tagging along. Also, last post for tonight. Goodnight, guys

IC: Somewhere in the foothills of Mt. Ihu. A massive blizzard is raging. So cold... Salmek walked--or more accurately stumbled--through the knee deep snow. Every step he took sent a thousand icy daggers plunging into his legs. The wind and snow whipped around him, freezing his body to the core. If there is a Karzahni... this is it. He stopped, both to catch his now fleeting breath and to ponder what great offense he had committed to deserve such a gruesome fate. Truth be told, he honestly did not know. He had woken scarcely five hours before the present, unaware of who or where he was. As he had trudged fleeting memories began to creep back into his mind. His name was Salmek. He was a Toa. He had the powers of fire and speed, and yet he had the strength to use neither, thanks to the weakening terror of the snow. A particularly strong gust of wind proved to much. He crumbled to the snow, his senses slowly beginning to fade. The sounds of the wind began to fade, the white snow into which his face was pressed became black, the faint warmth on his hand grew warmer. The faint warmth on my hand... Using every ounce of strength still possessed by his body, he lurched to his side and examined his hand. It was resting on something hard. He brushed the snow away, revealing a small square box. It was ornately carved, seemingly not of this world. A small latch kept it closed against the howling wind. Strangest of all, a powerful warmth seemed to eminate from it... yet a warmth which did not melt the snow. Salmek moved to open it, speculating on what warm wonders it could possess-- Noclosednoclosednoclosednoclosed... This jumble of words took Salmek aback. It was not his mind which produced them... it was the box! Strength pulsated through his body. With new-found vigor, he leaped to his feet. This precious box did not want him to open it yet... so he would walk until it did. He started trudging forward, his eyes fixed on his fortunate prize... OOC: Interact as you will.

IC (Cyberleader, Tombs): As the leader chiselled a second unit from the ice, it remembered the first. Much time had passed. There was only one explanation: It had been destroyed. This meant that this island had intelligent life, therefore, if they had ay sense at all they would head to the one place that could preserve a machine-like being for that long, the ice caves in Mt. Ihu. Once the other unit had come online, the leader explained the situation."We have an enemy here. One that is capable of destroying us.""How many are they?""This is uynknown, but there is no time to remove the other units from the ice. We must prepare. Set up all defences around the perimeter, then set up disk launchers around the barricades. If possible I will uncover more units. If not, we will have to do without.""I obey."The soldier exited the cave, and the leader continued it's work. OOC: Shame we aren't allowed NPCs following us around anymore

OOC: Kaiva from Po-Wahi, open for interaction. IC: Kaiva strolled into Ko-Wahi, sneering at any of the locals who looked at her. She didn't know why she'd come back. She hated the people here. Still, it was where she had lived for a good portion of her life. It wasn't exactly homey, but it was closer to home than anywhere else she'd ever lived. It made her feel weak to be affectionate about a place like this. Kaiva hated being weak.

OOC: At Xaeraz, no direction in mind here just looking for something to do IC: Salmek trudged forward with new purpose in his steps, having escaped from the desert. He now walked on the outskirts of the village, where he noticed the first sign of life since his arrival. "You there!" he shouted toward Kaiva, "What say you of this?" He slowly held out the box, almost reluctant in his manner. It weighed heavily in his hand, moreso than a box of that size would be expected to.

IC: Kaiva, showing no sign that she was glad a stranger was around, stalked over and snatched the box up from his hands, testing its weight in her hands. "Suckah's 'eavy. Too 'eavy." Kaiava's eyes narrowed and she glared at Salmek, looking at him eye-to-eye. "Are yew smugglin' 'eads?"

IC(Ariga and co.): "Great. More people, let's just bring the entire island along with us. Let's get going before we pick up twelve more toa. And a Muaka. And thirteen Matoran, all who are brave enough to go against hundreds or thousands of Cybervortixx." Ariga continued forwards, sword at the ready, as he approached Mt. Ihu's lower cavern's entrances. OOC: That would be multiple Caverns with entrances. Just in case that wasn't clear.

IC: Snelly Snelly drew his katanas, activating the laser tips. He wanted to be sure he was ready for whatever was in those caverns. "So, multiple entrances. You think the Cybervortixx are in one of these caverns doc?" Snelly looked at all the cavern entrances, from what he could see, they all looked dark, cold, and not particularly inviting.

IC: Zealokan, Payiges 'Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what a Cyberwhatchamacallit is.' She turned to Zealokan, and knelt down beside him. 'Look, I'm sure whoever this person, she was a, ummm, a great person.' She was no good at comforting people. He suddenly stood up, his eyes glaring with a bitter sadness. 'You should know!' He put both of his hands on her shoulders. 'What happened to you, Payiges? Why can't you remember?' She whacked his hands away, suddenly very annoyed, and shouted 'Because it never happened! These are the first few moments of my conscious life, and I have to put up with some crazy, deluded fool?!' She saw him sink again to his knees, and instantly regreted that statement. 'Awww, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you a fool, I've just been very stressed since I got out of the Canister. New environment and all, you know?' He slowly reached out and clutched the hilt of her sword. 'These Shock Scimitars. I forged them myself. A gift to you.' He looked into her eyes, hoping to see at least one flicker of recognition. Nothing. She said nothing more, and walked away, back to the group. 'This man back here seems to be very distressed. Does anyone know what happened?'

IC: Salmek was repulsed. Her boorish tongue made his ears cringe--if such a thing were possible. "Never such a thing," he remarked, his face casting a grimace of snide resentment. "I found out yonder, in the wastelands of this horrid place. Not sight nor sound of any beast around it, and yet there it was--casting its awful glow and warmth." His eyes lowered from hers to the box. Upon sight of it a terrible, awful thought gripped his mind. Once again, it seem not of his own but rather it seemed to originate from another world... from the box! Come backkkk.... I need you. I want you. You need me... Kill her for me Salmek snapped out of this trance. Slowly he looked up once more and met Kaiva. A wild look dominated his face. "Give it back. Now."
