Techna: Breakdown

[iC: Stronin]"Traps can be escaped through enough application of force."

IC: TorchTime: ~0917Citadel, Gust's penthouseTorch didn't quite understand why he surreptitiously backed through the hole in Gust's door. Maybe his survival instincts were kicking in. Maybe he just had a healthy respect for weapons. Or maybe Kal's exuberance about the coming duel was triggering Torch's mental warning bells."A duel now?" he queried. "Couldn't it wait? Or, I dunno, be relocated?"

IC: Trakuda (Testing facility)Leading now.OOC: I'm too tired to find clever ways to write from the first person in the present tense Two words is all you're gonna get today.

IC: Lekar (NMN)'Sand. What is it about sand, that at least half the planet is covered in it? And it was the same for Bara Magna, too. I'm beginning to think the GB's really liked sand.' Lekar thought, staring at the deserts. He was just outside the city, leaning back against a building. 'Curse the sand.'OOC: Lekar open for interaction.Zakaro

-==IC: Blade==-Blade frowned, as he noticed someone leaning against a building, even as they approached the city."Hey." Blade called out to the Toa, approaching the Toa with a curious look on his face."Weren't you at that fight six months ago, fighting alongside me and the others?" Blade asked, curious about that.

IC: Lekar (Outside NMN)"Hmm?" Lekar started, looking at the group that had just come over the dune. Hearing the Lightning Toa's question, he thought for a second before responding."I think so... were you in the hotel with Airu and Krayzikk?" Zakaro

-==IC: Blade==-"Yeah. You were the one who stopped me from thrashing them all when everything started going downhill; weren't you?" Blade asked, to double check and make sure he was the same Toa he was thinking of.

IC: Lekar (Outside NMN)Lekar smiled the slightest bit as he remembered that time."Yes. I did get you to regroup with Krayzikk and the others.. or at least with Tain and Savina." Noticing the state the group was in, his brows furrowed. "What happened to you guys?"Zakaro

-==IC: Blade==-"Long story, but someone effectively played us against each other." Blade said with a frown.

IC: Lekar (NMN)"Okay. Why don't we go inside and get you fixed up... if there's still a hospital standing.." Lekar replied, frowning.Zakaro

-==IC: Blade==-Blade nodded, and then staggered forward, a grimace on his face, as he gripped his chest."Oh great..." Blade muttered, as he realized his old wounds had been opened in the fight, for the hundredth time."That's a definite yes, and quickly." Blade frowned, as this was not good at all.

IC: Emma - New Metru NuiEmma kept walking for what seemed like weeks, barely resting as she worked her way through the city, towards the Citadel.The rubble was hewn around the streets, from the the bombings, and the battle of the Housing District.Karzin' Hackers, she thought bitterly, as she kicked a small stone away into the distance, barely noticing where it went, until she heard it clink against someone's armour."Oh, sorry th-" she began to apologize to the being, before she realized who she was talking to. Green and black armour, with the oddest detailing she had seen in a long time..."Blade? Lekar?"-Void

IC: Ezraftin / Testing FacilityThe Toa of Light continued onwards and up the stairs. After a while, the stairs suddenly changed to a twisting instead of straight, and began to twist further up in a long circle."So how were you captured?"-Toa Levacius Zehvor

-==IC: Blade==-"Yo. Long time no see." Blade said, still gripping his chest, looking like he had been part of the Techna crash three times over."Funny, I just seem to keep running into you a lot." Blade said with a slight smirk, and frowned."Where's the replica, anyway? Isn't he usually following you around a lot?" Blade asked, honestly curious, and since he didn't really wish to call the replica by the name he was given...

[iC: Stronin]"Tried to save a girl, got captured."IC: Hrunja"So tell me about yourself."

IC: Ezraftin / Testing Facility"Your princess got you stuck in a castle, then?"-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[iC: Stronin]"Essentially ... yes?"

IC: Ezraftin / Testing Facility"Things like that tend to happen a lot when you're doing the right thing. Luckily, they usually have a way of sorting themselves out."As he clambered up through into a large, white room much like the ones he was in before, he said, "For example - this little situation has been worked out."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[iC: Stronin]"Seems like it."

IC: Trakuda"Not much to tell really, but it's mainly because... Well, I'm not really sure myself. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another. If I have a past, at least it's multiple choice," I chuckle. "What about you?"

IC: Lekar (NMN)"Hi." Lekar said nodding to Emma. He then pulled his hoverboard from the hyper-pocket and activated it, moving over to Blade."Here. Sit or lay on this, it's probably best if you don't strain yourself until we get to a hospital." Zakaro

-==IC: Blade==-"Whatever..." Blade said, obviously not liking that he couldn't move, but knew it was the best idea, and shrugged, as he laid on the board with a sigh.

IC: Hrunja"I'm a war veteran."

IC: Ezraftin + AMTaOS / Testing FacilityThe Toa directed his hand forward and cut a hole around a door at the far end of the room. Directing the light on the other side to pull towards him as a solid force, he yanked the entire piece of wall down, revealing the hallway onwards."Alright, let's get going.""You do realize you're just going to wind up right where you started, don't you? This is all completely pointless. Oh, and your friends... well, they're a little bit close to home, you could say. And not in a good way. For them."IC: AMTaOS / Testing FacilityThe walls around Hrunja and Trakuda suddenly began to fold back and pull away, revealing the hallway they were walking down to be not a hallway, but a room. Along all sides were ADR, eight total, all aiming their energy ball launchers at the duo."Prepare for immediate capture and containment." one of them commanded. Another voice soon followed, from above - "You should do what it says. It's in your best interests, I assure you."IC: Blacklight / New Metru-NuiThe sword was almost screaming now, to two particular individuals it could feel rushing towards it.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

-==IC: Syran==-Syran, ignoring the apparently stopped Matoran, rushed further toward the source of the signal, now a scream, finally noticing the fact that it, in fact, was a sword, as she approached it, and smiled maliciously, as she ran toward the weapon.

IC: Hrunja"No."

IC: Emma - New Metru Nui"Kai-," she began, before realizing just how insensitive it would be to be referring to her friend as 'Kairan', when the person standing (well, sitting) in front of her was being forced to deal with nearly having been replaced."Erm, my friend is over in the Housing District. We're both planning to meet with Kinvex at the Citadel."She gave a short wave to Lekar, "Hey Lekar, good to see you again. How's it been?"-Void

IC: Zaphos"GOOD MORNING NEW METRU NUI!" shouted a voice from above. "THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET FREE PIZZA, SO CALL NOW!"

IC: Lekar (NMN)"Interesting, to say the least. So far, in less than 24 hours, I've been kidnapped by a crazy AI, witnessed darkness cover New Metru Nui, and watched the desert. Oh, and I've eaten pizza." Lekar replied. He then tapped the hoverboard and as it began to float fowards, he followed. "Anyway, the Citadel seems a good of a place as any to get medical help."IC: Krash (Krahzia)"Tra-lala, tra-lala, tra-lala tra. Tra-lalala-la-laaaa!" Krash was still being Krash. Still walking, singing, and making a general mess of things. Amazingly, he hadn't blown anything up yet. Other than a barrel. And a beetle. And a balloon. And a whole bunch of other things starting with 'b'."Tra-lalalalaAAAAAAAA!"Zakaro

OOC: Sorry for not ICing recently. I got hooked on Code Geass and only stopped when I found the levels of plot strangeness and fan service absurdly high.IC: That was when five grey fingers closed around the sword. "Excuse me," Mars said, having leaped from a building to land beside the weapon. She was sprinting off with falchion in hand before the sentence was even finished."I got places to go."

IC: Blacklight / New Metru-NuiMars, however, was not going anywhere that easily. The moment that she started off, she was struck by immediate psychic contact from the sword, who would not allow a wielder to leave without proving themselves - it had made enough mistakes with Arketh.Kopraga wasn't going to have his say over this one - instead, the sword itself was taking full control of the demands."You dare to clasp my grip without shedding blood upon my blade, mortal? Kill your competitor, or you shall meet the same fate as the last weakling who tried to use me."IC: AMTaOS / Testing Facility"Oh, I don't think you have a choice."One of the ADR hovered over behind Trakuda and attempted to push him forwards with its normal arm. "Do as the Commander orders fleshie."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Trakuda"Fleshie? Fleshie? Who you calling fleshie, buster?!"

IC: AMTaOS / Testing Facility"Response: You. Demand: Allow yourself to be escorted to the containment labs."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Trakuda"Oh, I don't think so." I tell them with narrowed eyes (yeah, my eyes are narrowed, they'd be well scared if they were actual people), then make some tremendously heavy, and some fly up into the ceiling. I also remove mine and Hrunja's gravity so we can float around and dodge their energy balls if they survive being crushed.

IC: AMTaOS / Testing FacilityOnce the first of the ADR started to be crushed, up or down, the remainder began to fire off their attacks at the duo from almost every direction before they, too, collapsed. Only the leader, apparently equipped with the same anti-gravity field as the Master Nektann, remained, and its arm switched over to a long, shiny energy blade. The robot flew towards Trakuda far faster than any of its kind ever had and swung its protosteel-cutting blade just as fast."Prepare for deconstruction fleshie."OOC: Jedi ADR.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: TrakudaWoah!I roll out of the way and pull out my axe, holding it in my right hand while firing from my left arm blaster at it. If it flew over again I'd clothesline it......with the axe blade.

IC: AMTaOS / Testing FacilityThe ADR dodged to the side as the arm blaster was fired, and suddenly whipped forward far faster than it had been going before; moving past Trakuda, as a matter of fact, and swinging its blade to disarm him.Literally."Just give in. You cannot fight the inevitable."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

OOC: Is this like Kakama-level speed?IC: Trakuda"EEYAGHH!"Argh, that's a pretty deep gash, but at least I managed to move my arm a bit. Otherwise I wouldn't have one. OH WAIT NO WHAT ARE YOU-Shut up.I make the lead ADR the center of gravity (not Hrunja and I however, we're weightless), sending all the destroyed ADRs in the room flying toward it at high speed, whether it moved around or not.

IC: Mars shrugged as she stood. She idly spat a bit of blood, flecking the blade and some ground around it."Whatever."What are your powers? Any weapon that glows in this universe has something extra.She turned towards the Fe-Toa. Holding the sword in Ochs, the 'matoran' charged at her foe.OOC: The spit wasn't on purpose. She just received multiple bullets to the lungs.I hope you know Blossfechten...

OOC: No. Just really fast for a floating robot. Some 30, 40 MPH fast. A lot faster than ADR should go.IC: AMTaOS / Testing FacilityThe ADR components went flying towards the leader incredibly fast. It was just as fast that it began swinging its blade, trying to cut everything into tiny pieces. Unfortunately, that isn't how things work in this universe, and it was completely crushed by the oncoming storm of shrapnel and metal components."You are persistent, but it will do you no good in the end."IC: Blacklight / New Metru-Nui"The shadows. Use the impenetrable darkness to your will. No mortal has yet to create a shield against my cutting edge."-Toa Levacius Zehvor
