Techna

IC: Zaphos"Zatths summon Rahi that are suitable to their environment. Maybe I'm the most suitable here."

-==IC: Blade==-"Oh, that's possible." Blade said, and paused, as he considered why, and unconsciously took an extra step away from Zaphos."... I think I realized why you'd be suitable here..." Blade said, as he recalled all the fighting.

IC: Zaphos"Don't worry, I don't kill many Toa as I used to."

-==IC: Blade==-"I see." Blade said, but wasn't totally convinced, especially as he recalled the dead hacker that was still in the game shop."Anyway, let's hurry, Krayzikk's likely not entirely pleased by now, if what I heard on the comm device earlier was any indication..."

IC: Savina - Information District -Savina went up and rubbed against Zaphos, purring loudly. Only partly paying attention to their conversation.

IC: Hrunja"Lead the way."

-==IC: Blade==-"What about cat Toa?" Blade suddenly asked Zaphos, as he noticed Savina getting close to the intelligent rahi, and was a little concerned about the fact that the Frostelus might suddenly decide to make her a snack. He did, however, nod at Hrunja, and walked in the direction of the fight.

IC: ZaphosZaphos slowly looked down at her, and blinked. "Hey, why is there a Hordika here?"

IC - BattleMatrapolix didn't tire. He didn't sweat. Heck, he didn't even bleed. Computers didn't do those things.He slammed his fist into Enaltai, but he knew this had to end. He knocked his opponent back with a kick, and grabbed something. He threw another punch, but Enaltai caught it. This fight had to end."Enaltai, you were always a horrible person, somewhere in that thick head of yours. I've got only one thing to say to you."He looked at his hand, and Enaltai followed his eyes. In his clenched fist, which was in Enaltai's grasp, was an active grenade."Go to Hades."Even as Matrapolix smirked, the grenade exploded.

IC: Savina - Information District -Savina blinked back at the questioning Zaphos.

IC: Zaphos"No seriously, aren't Visorak supposed to be extinct? So how do you exist in this state?"

OOC: Ooh boy.-==IC: Blade==-"I'm not sur-" Blade said, as an explosion sounded out in the distance. Blade held out his hand, as he frowned, not sure what that explosion meant, at all."Be careful..." Blade warned, ashe gripped his sword, and moved forward slowly.

IC: Gust (Western Front, Hacker Siege)"NO!"The word tore itself from Gust's lungs with unbridled force as the explosion rocked the duel going on near him. Ryjak momentarily forgotten, he stood, waiting for Matrapolix to walk out of the blast radius.-Teezy

IC: Hrunja"What just happened?"

-==IC: Blade==-"I don't know." Blade said with a frown, as he saw some of the smoke and debris faintly off in the distance above a building, but was still cautious."Since we don't know what caused that, we better continue on more carefully." Blade said, sword still ready, which was good, as more hackers were beginning to run toward them.

IC: Krayzikk"Commader Airu!" Krayzikk snapped out, upon seeing the explosion. "What the karz just happened? Can you see anything?"IC: TainTain followed behind the others, his pistol, in hand, ready to go. "Krayzikk isn't too far away."

IC: Zaphos"Want me to do a fly over?" asked Zaphos, his rhotuka firing as he grabbed onto it.

IC: Gust (Western Front, Hacker Siege)Gust triggered into all friendly links, including, but not limited to, Krayzikk, Zaphos, Tain, Blade, and Airu."All units, this is Gust! Enaltai is down! I repeat, Enaltai is down!"-Teezy

IC: Savina - Information District -"Serum...did it..." Her eyes narrowed and she hissed as she thought of the ones responsible for her current state. The sound of an explosion made her swing her head back and look toward the direction she heard it from. She tensed, cat's did NOT like loud noises.

IC: Zaphos"Nice to hear that Mr. Gust."

IC: KrayzikkAcknowledged, sir.IC: TainGood, we need all the help we can get.

OOC: Only problem is that Blade's comm link is over with Kairan. =P-==IC: Blade==-Despite the fact that he had no comm link right now, he heard the message, and frowned."So, was that a good explosion we heard, one from our side?" Blade wondered, and nodded to Zaphos."Yeah, that'd be the best idea." Blade said, as he stabbed one hacker with a lightning bolt sent from his sword, and then created a ball of lightning in his left hand, and sent it into another hacker, the explosion from the energy hitting the hacker sending him flying away."Let's finish this." Blade said, with a nod to the others.

IC - BattleHe felt fire engulf him. It was like that. The explosion happened so fast.Matrapolix's mask burned, his eyes turning to flame. He made not a scream, but his voice extended to every person aboard the Techna."This is Toa Techna Matrapolix, signing off. It's been a pleasure to work with all of you."A dagger struck a wall near Gust. Rapped around it was a watch. Matrapolix's watch. His sword erupted, flying through the air. It eventually landed, striking the ground and sticking there three feet in front of Krayzikk. Almost like a message.Continue me.

IC: HrunjaHrunja paused as the voice echoed around the ship."What."

-==IC: Blade==-Blade frowned."Based off this message... And the last message... I'd say that we just figured out the cause and effect of that explosion... And it's half good, and half bad..." Blade said, not liking this situation at all.

IC: Gust (Western Front, Hacker Siege)Gust stopped dead, standing still in the middle of the battle.No. No. Don't leave me."Matrapolix..." he groaned. Everyone in the group conversation held a moment of silence. Finally, Airu broke it."Sir, with Matrapolix dead and Torch MIA, you're the leader of the Toa Techna. Orders?"-Teezy

-==IC: Blade==-Blade thought for a moment, and tapped his wrist, which contained his backup comm device, and he frowned."Patch me into the group conversation." Blade said, though he wasn't sure if it would support that.

IC: Zaphos"No idea how to do that."

-==IC: Blade==-"Was mostly just saying that as I patched into the conversation." Blade said, and joined the conversation(Albeit with slight static), a moment later."So, what now?" Blade asked the group, as Kairan heard the question and raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment, though he did look at Krayzikk.OOC: All our groups have contact now. =D

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk looked at the sword for a moment, and one memory passed through his mind. His memory of when he had died to ensure the well-being of Techna. He had resented that he was forgotten so quickly. No one had bothered to honor his memory.But now, Matrapolix had done the same. And his sword was before Krayzikk. And what better way to honor Matrapolix, than to ensure that justice continued to be served, indirectly, by his hand?Krayzikk gripped the sword, and withdrew it from the ground. "Techna Gust, the Hackers have lost their leader. In my opinion, I say we take advantage of that. Techna Matrapolix gave us a chance. Not to use it would devalue his sacrifice."

IC: Savina - Information District -Savina looked bewildered for a moment, there were voices in her head. She meowed in confusion, she'd forgotten about the ability to communicate mentally when she was turned into a Hordika.

IC: Gust (Western Front, Hacker Siege)Gust withdrew the watch control reverently and put it on his wrist. This time, he wouldn't be giving it back. The thought left a pit in the center of his stomach. The last surviving Toa Techna activated his Kakama and zoomed into Airu's hotel, sitting down in a chair Airu had left out and leaning his head in his hands. Finally, he set his communicator to broadcast throughout all of Techna."Attention citizens of Techna Nui."Citizens across the ship looked up. What was going on today...?"It is with the utmost regret," he began, before choking up temporarily. After a second, he started again. "It is with great regret that I inform you that my colleague and friend, Toa Techna Matrapolix, was killed five minutes ago."He sighed, and the ragged, sad sound resonated through the ship."He died in what will probably be the most heroic moment any of us will ever bear witness to, triggering an explosion that killed himself, and, in the process, the Hacker leader Enaltai."Cheers rang out in every remaining Techna stronghold on the ship."With that said, this is far from over. I'll be the first to admit it. And even with Matrapolix and Torch gone, no matter the odds, we're still going to keep fighting. And we're not going to stop fighting until the day the last Technan draws his last breath."-Teezy

IC: TainTain sighed.Attempting to establish contact with Savina.......IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk paused, taking a moment to send Gust a textual message.Well said.Krayzikk turned, and surveyed his surroundings. There was still a battle to be won.

IC: Savina - Information District -Call from Tain...accept? Y/NSavina didn't know what was going on...a voice in her head was telling her she had a call from Tain. Part of her knew she wanted to accept the call, and somehow she managed to. Tain was now able to send her messages.

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk activated the communications channel with Honnak and Tain. Since the connection had never been terminated, he could just reopen it. What he said would be transferred to all participants. Anyone nearby would hear it anyway. "Alright boys and girls, there is still a battle to win. Stay sharp, and we all might just survive this."

IC: Savina - Information District -Savina listened to the mysterious voice in her head. It wasn't Tain's voice, it was somebody else. She understood two things at least, there was a battle, and they needed to survive. Her instinct to protect her friends and herself was strong, she went over to Tain, and began to circle his legs, purring loudly.

OOC: I do still have the right to one last speech, even if a bit magical one.IC:The Hackers were confused. This was not possible. It was not possible! It could not have been happening, it did not happen. Enaltai was a god, and gods don't die.Then, breaking the abrupt silence, a long, low, loud laugh resounded through the air. A burnt and nigh almost dead Toa of Stone, kneeling on the Technan city floor, with his blood dripping round him, was rushed by people who tried to assist him, but he pushed them all away, rather ungently.While he could still think, he needed to grasp this dramatic moment of death by the throat. And shake it so hard it'd die and go to Hades with him."I've... no time for long speeches," Enaltai spoke, loudly, and due to the timely intervention of a few programmers, his voice resounded over many usurped loudspeakers in Techna, while he was muffling some sort of laughter he attributed to the fact that when you lose a lot of blood, euphoria begins. "No wish, either. We were all heroes today... I'll leave it to history to know which one I was, a good or a bad one... but I was one a minute longer than him. Though I guess it doesn't matter... if the gods are good, they'll put us in separate h*lls... Gosh, I'd kill for a glass of ale now..."Silence fell afterwards, and so did Enaltai, his cheek slamming into the flagstones.

IC: Gust (Western Front, Hacker Siege)Gust was silent for a long, sad moment as he listened to the rogue Techna's final speech. He sighed."What a waste."-Teezy

IC: (Housing District) An'Athzos, of the house of Ashkrenar, of the Steltian Noble Caste, woke in his cell in the Housing District. Well, "woke" is a relative term. More like, he was never quite sleeping. Rather... hibernating. He was vaguely aware of his surroundings. Then again, he always slept like that. A useful talent for one who had reason to avoid capture by ADR and other police-associated officials.What he would've never expected was to be captured by Hackers. He'd done nothing wrong to the Hackers. Ever. Why'd they take him, a criminal, hostage? 'Zos could not contemplate the thought that they did not know who he was. It was too upsetting to think someone in Techna did not know the legendary burglar An'Athzos Ashkrenar, kin to the kings of Stelt.But he knew, he'd dang well get out if it was the last thing he'd do.... Later. For now, he needed just a little more beauty sleep.OOC: needless to say, nobody on Techna knows who he is

IC - BattleAnother hacker leader stood atop a building."Listen all..."He put a bullet in the head of a Techna guard."...Because of our leader's untimely demise..."A shadow hand erupted from his palm and devoured a toa."...I must carry on his name in battle."The Hackers were confused, but lacked a leader. If this man could lead them to victory...they'd take the chance of following him or ending up like the man who had been devoured."Destroy the library. Pay no attention to it's contents."A rush of Hackers attacked the library. It's defenses, while running low, put up a fight. But they couldn't stand this long."Seize the tower." he said to the others.They continued on the Tech Tower, killing all that stood before them."Seize the CKC." he said to the last group.Their fire fell upon the CKC. The Techna defenses would soon fall.
