IC: Othorak, Airship Docks
Othorak's momentum was accelerating as he was closing the gap between him and the airship. Maybe this would all go smoother than expected? No, it couldn't. Life was never so easy. As he ran forward, he looked backwards, and saw the crooked mercenary firing upon him again. These Rhotuka were fast, and Othorak couldn't afford to calculate every step. He let his Steltian instinct take over. Steltians were naturally cutthroat and bloody. While not as recklessly violent as Skakdi or as scheming as Vortixx, they understood more than most the balance between violence and respect. If one could not project power and punish challenges, then one was doomed to be a slave, forever. Othorak was no slave. Othorak was a fighter, and a victor.
He jumped in the air and grabbed a panicking Le-Matoran's face as he ascended. Othorak's concentration wavered, resulting in his Faxon ceasing activities, though the bull Rahi's powers may no longer have been needed. As he jumped, his momentum carried his large frame forwards, and the first of the Rhotuka swept beneath his feet. As he fell, he increased his grip on the powerless Matoran's skull, and whipped the green worker's entire body back behind him. The second Rhotuka would spill blood, but it would only be that of the nameless Matoran whom Othorak used as a shield of sorts. The sick pleasure Othorak derived from the sight only barely outweighed the terror he felt at understanding how lethal these blasts could be. One misstep, a single miscalculation, and it wouldn't just be his mission ending.
The airship was several bio away still. As he ran forward again, Othorak wracked his mind for a more clever Rahi to mimic, yet his thoughts were interrupted as a newer-model Vahki dove at him. Othorak's blade matched the staff of the robot, and the two entered a contest of strength as this skirmish prolonged itself.
OOC: @Unreliable Narrator idk if you want to do some Vahki stuff or whatever. @Nato the Traveler
