IC: "Lathon, we will find a way to prove that we were in the right. In the meantime, the Maasi will have to fade into the shadows."

[The Snark Knight]

IC:

"No."

A voice called out from behind Nokth. A tall Toa, wearing a dark blue coat over Marine uniform made her way through the crowd, which parted before her.

"I will escort them out." Ralin's eyes glinted. "It is, after all, my jurisdiction."

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

IC-Mussiki:

Mussiki, meanwhile, stood behind Ralin, watching carefully at what occured. He then looked over at Nokth, and raised an eyebrow at the tall Akrainid's physique.

"Wouldn't want to go up against him," he muttered to Ralin, making sure only she would hear. "Be careful."

IC-Nokth:

Nokth looked down at the Toa who had appeared, one of water and the other of sonics, before he put his Pudao up and stepped back towards the group he'd been with.

"Very well," he said. "I recommend you do so quickly."

IC: I grimaced. "But if any of you" I pointed at Greed and his team. "turn out to be not what you seem, I promise you. I will return."

[Mega Man: The Blue Bomber]

IC: Zakama

Zakama made his way back to the team, "Uh...what are you guys talking about with the guards?" Zakama asked?

[Mr. Peanuts]

IC: Wrath stifled a derisive snort. He stepped forwards and kept arms crossed. The berserker's gaze was one of distaste.

"So says the one whose team of self-proclaimed 'heroes' just disrespected one of the dead. Leave forever, and take your violent ways with you."

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

IC-Nokth:

"And quickly, before these Matoran throw a riot. I can tell they aren't happy with your continued presence."

[Mega Man: The Blue Bomber]

IC: Zakama

"Kaithas what's going on?" Zakama asked his team leader,

[The Snark Knight]

IC: Ralin

"That sounded like a threat," She said to Kaihhas sharply. "I recommend you stop."

"Make another threat in my presence and I guarantee you'll regret it."

[Kaitholas Cage]

IC: "This toa-"hero" team has convinced the Matoran we were not right to defend their lives, and that we should have stood by and not let their homes be damaged." I shrugged. "Regardless, we are leaving." I shrugged again. "And I was not threatening. Just be who you appear to be."

IC-Mussiki:

"Ralin, the fight just ended," Mussiki growled. "Don't say anything untoward that could cause yet another, be it even a verbal argument. These Matoran around us are already riled up as it is, no need to make it worse." He then snapped his sight down to Kaithas, before concentrating slightly on the Toa-he'd find himself mute, unable to speak.

"Alright, then," he said, "How about we get on to taking this one out of here? The problem has been solved, there's no need to exacerbate it."

[Parugi]

IC - Decaia - Ga-Koro: Oh, the irony...

As Wrath and Nokth continued to call out for the other Toas' departure, Decaia slunk closer to Greed, carefully watching the back of Ralin's head as she and her partner moved away. He spoke quietly to the Toa of Air, a hint of concern peppering his expressionless tone for the first time. "If you don't mind, I suggest we get moving," he said, his mouth hidden by the sides of his hood. "We've drawn too much attention to ourselves, and as I said yesterday, I'm not exactly the most beloved Toa of Water around here... nor are we the most beloved people in general..."

Self-preservation. Best to move along before the entire situation collapsed like a defeated fortress around them...

[Sir Flex Nardius]

IC: Lathon

Lathon raised himself into the air, now floating above the village. He likewise amplified his voice like Greed had done using his powers over the wind. "The Matoran disrespected their own dead by not giving respect to the heroes that tried to defend their lives." he said.

"This village is broken, why have our powers if we are not meant to use them?" he thundered.

"It means little to me now. Continue on with your ways, this village is sinking into darkness, and when it does, and all is lost I will not be there to help drag it back into the light." he said, with that he used his power over the wind to glide away from the village before any of the cocky marines could so called escort him out.

OOC: Dang you Grochi for all eternity XD

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

IC-Mussiki:

One quick flick of Mussiki's wrist, and the sound waves from Lathon were repelled as well, rendering him effectively mute from his position as he flew.

"Now, then. Shall we finish this?"

[Mega Man: The Blue Bomber]

IC: Zakama

"Alright let's go," Zakama moaned, "Wait until Hanix hears this..." Zakama said, "I'm not gonna be anything like Zacax,"

[Kaitholas Cage]

IC: I used the remnants of my elemental powers to grow a memorial tree in the middle of the square. A few sword slashes later, and a carving in it said "in memorial for those who lost their lives or homes to the fight that took place here." I glared at Greed's team once more, gestured to my team and escort and walked out of the village carrying Yick.

[The Snark Knight]

IC: Ralin

"Yes."

She pointed to the remaining Toa, and raised her voice. "You have one minute to gather your things. After that, you will be escorted out of the village. If you are caught here again, you will serve time in prison. Understood?"

[Kaitholas Cage]

IC: I found myself unable to speak. I glared at the Toa team, gestured to Nidiak and pointed to the dock, then toward le koro.

[Mega Man: The Blue Bomber]

IC: Zakama

Zakama nodded to his leader and went to the guards, "We are so sorry for the damage we caused, luckily it is easy to repair, but we promise not to return," Zakama said with a salute and walked back to his team.

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

IC-Mussiki:

However, that which Kaithas had said couldn't truly be deciphered for one main reason: Mussiki still had him muted.

[Sir Flex Nardius]

IC: Lathon

He stood on the beach outside the Koro, waiting for the rest of the team to walk up. "I will be back... they can't keep me from this place." he said. "I will also be watching that team... any sign of corruption, that they are evil Toa, then I will crush them." he said his hand closing into a fist. Lathon was over corrupted Toa, he'd like to see them all wiped off of Mata Nui for good. Evil Toa caused more destruction it seemed then even Skakdi.

"But they are seen as good, messing with the guard will get us into trouble," Zakama said, "We have to wait....Hanix!"

[Sir Flex Nardius]

IC: Lathon

"I don't care about trouble." he said. "You know you are doing the right thing and standing up to an unjust system when you are stirring up trouble." he said.

[Mega Man: The Blue Bomber]

IC: Zakama

"No listen, Hanix is my mentor, they don't know She is my mentor. She can look out for any suspicious activity, and tell us," Zakama said, "but we need to train though,"

[Constructman: Black Knight]

IC: Merla
Merla said nothing. Throwing down her athame, she angrily stalked off, casting a very angry look at everybody.

[Toa Of Virtues]

IC (Desilix and Nawal):

Both Desilix and Nawal had been nocked out during the fight, and just awoke. Both terrified of what just happened, they escaped the village togeather. It was the biggest fight either of them had ever seen, and wanted to leave as soon as possible. As they left the Koro, they cought up with Toa Kaithas.

[Mega Man: The Blue Bomber]

IC: Zakama

"I'll inform Hanix to help us, but we have to train, to beet them and for me to prove to Praggos I am good enough," Zakama said

[Kaitholas Cage]

IC: I had moved out of the mask's range by now. "Yes Zakama. We will move in the shadows, training, gathering our strength."

[Toa Fanixe]

IC:

Labelle found that her native blue Ga-Koro skin was gone- in it's place was skin that was whiter than snow, or that of any Ko-Matoran for that matter. But the change in color alone was not what scared her- it was her face.

It was now disfigured, and terribly so. Her left jowl and cheek flesh were gone, only a few a musclesand sinew connecting her jaw to her cheekbone. Labelle had a large scar running down her right eye, and the rest of her face was sunken in, as if she had been starving for months.
Her abdomen and arms were replete with with large regions of scar tissue, as were her legs. Her hands and feet were also clunkier than before, larger and scarred, with hard callouses, making the surface rough and uneven.

Then there was the tail. Labelle nearly yelled again when she realized the bushy creature next to her was not in fact a creature but a tail, twitching from side to side like a Rahi's. Labelle slapped herself, hoping, praying that none of it was real. That it was all just a nightmare. But the nightmare had just begun.
Suddenly four massive spider-like arms uncurled from behind Labelle's back, extending into view beside her in the mirror. Labelle didn't say a word as she moved the edge of one to her face and made a small cut with it's sharp edge. What's happening to me, Labelle wondered in disbelief. She touched the spider leg and found it was thin, rather weak actually. She willed the legs to retract back into the small of her back, which they did as if she were moving her own real arms or legs.

Labelle started bandaging herself up again, her whole body except her head. She took extra care to hide the malformed Mark of Sadism on her arm. Her tail mean while protruded through the bandages, but the spider legs were otherwise unnoticeable besides a small bump on back. Which, quite honestly no one would see considering Labelle's hideous face.

Labelle breathed in, then out. She looked at the hideous beast staring back at her. At least I haven't broken down, Labelle thought, although that's probably because I'm still in shock. She breathed in again, and decided to go outside. She would head home, then figure things out from there.
She stepped out of the bathroom and saw Emotia and Reaver standing in the middle of the bar. "Hey" she said weakly, forgetting they probably couldn't recognize her.

IC: Zakama

Zakama grabbed a paper and something to write with from his pack and wrote a letter, "When we get to a Koro other than Ga-Koro," Zac said, "I'll mail this to Hanix, and she can come here to keep an eye on things,"

[snoip lion]

IC: Utu - Ga-Koro

"Relax Praggos. We're not yet safe."

He quickly checked over his shoulder again. He didn't like the looks of the scythe wielding Toa. Not a bit. And he certainly didn't want to be followed by him, or his team. The Arete or something. Utu moved ahead of Iris, pushing people out of his way.

A Matoran shouted to him, "What gives you the right?"

Utu wheeled on his feet, turning to face the Matoran. Out of the corner of his eye he could still see the Arete down the street. Utu decided to leave the speaker be. The group continued walking, Utu pointed to the inn Praggos had rented a room in.

[Half a Cup of EW]

IC (Greed)

The Toa of Air said nothing in the face of the accusations and taunts thrown at him by the other Toa, remaining stoic and silent, dignified in the face of their anger. Even when a corpse was tossed at his feet, he said nothing, and it made him look strong to everyone who was watching. By refusing to answer to their anger, he showed that he was truly above them; he was of a different calibre. He didn't have to care about what anyone else said, but did what he knew to be right, and that made him strong. It made him look like a true Toa.

Instead of deigning to reply to the outcast Toa, he knelt down on the scarred lily pad, seeming not to care that his cape was draped into a puddle. He knelt down next to the corpse that had been thrown at his feet.

The dead Ga-Matoran had a cyan body with darker blue accents, and she wore a dark blue Kakama. He arms were splayed, one broken, and a trail of blood ran down the side of her mask. Her blank eyes were wide open in a last expression of terror that had stayed with her even in death.

The Matoran in the area watched the Toa of Air in silence, even as he knelt there in silence. Then he slowly reached out and, as lovingly as a mother touching her child, he gently wiped the blood from the dead Matoran's face, and closed her lifeless eyes. A single tear rolled down his cheek.

"Mata Nui guide you home," he said softly. Only the closest Matoran heard him, but they were struck to the core by his kindness and compassion. Here was a true Toa, so unlike those impostors who had tried to call themselves heroes. Instead of disrespecting the dead, he knelt down, bringing himself to their level. Even in his power and strength, he was willing to lower himself out of respect, and even to weep. Here, indeed, was a true Toa.

The Toa of Air remained there for a long moment in silence, waiting for the outcast Toa to leave. They were not his problem now; the Matoran had judged them, and the Matoran would carry out the sentence. As the last of them left, he stood, slowly, and put away his scythe. He raised his eyes to the crowd, and spoke once more, his voice slightly husky.

"See to it that the dead have a proper funeral," he said. "I and my team will confer with the Marines and with the leaders of the village. I swear, on my word as a Toa, that this will never happen again."

That said, he turned to the Toa wearing the Marine uniform (Ralin), who had taken charge of the outcast Toa's escort out of the village, his eyes sad and weary.

"Please- I wish to speak with your superiors. Who is in charge of Ga-Koro in Turaga Nokama's absence?"

[Constructman: Black Knight]

IC: Merla
Merla walked to the beach. She threw her staff down on the beach and screamed. She was angry at herself, angry at Greed, angry at everything. Oh, maybe except for the other Maasi. But still, she was MAD. She started randomly hurling water blasts into the ocean before collapsing on the beach in rage. She wanted to tell the world that she was angry but all that came out was an unintelligible animal like noise. Then she heard a voice above her. "You shouldn't take it too hard." Merla looked up. A toa of lightning wearing a yellow and black leather jacket and carrying a double pronged club was standing over her.

OOC: Good Cole has arrived.

[Mega Man: The Blue Bomber]

IC: Zakama

Zakama watched the events taking place. He wanted to say something but this would cause more trouble. He wasn't in the fight, but homes can be fixed, and now, just now they are concerned about the deaths of matoran?! He swore that he would stop Greed.

That Toa...he is a hyporcrite. And called us, Toa trying to protect, the destroyers, rogues. I swear his death will be messy. But I would be breaking the code...

IC: Zakama

"It's getting pointless...trying to give up the game, broken friendships...watching pleasure turned to pain, all around us...lines are being between, don't believe them..." Zakama sang quietly. He sighed, this wasn't, I guess to do the right thing, they had to do the wrong thing, and since they were supoosivly being good, the Toa he was with just had to do one bad thing to balance out the villains doing good. His head hurt, this was turning into a paradox more than a solution. They had to redeem themselves...

"No it hasn't, just singing a song that reminds me of this situation... We have to prove ourselves heroes," Zakama said, "Beat the false heroes, and become redeemed,"

IC: Emotia - Bar, Ga-koro -

Emoita did a double take at Labelle, it took her a minute or two before she realized it was in fact, her. "L-Labelle?" Emotia asked with a rather shocked face. Labelle's face was incredibly deformed and disfigured, not to mention all the bandages hiding the rest of her scared and deformed body...and was that a...tail? "W-what happened to you?" She said in unusually quiet tone, apparently losing her voice from the shock and horror. Whoever had done this to Labelle was gonna pay...dearly.
