The duo arrived at a clearing overlooking the southern tip of the island. The Kumu Islets were visible in the distance, if not clearly due to the fog. "We're here. I always swim closer to take a look, but I don't know how fond you are of water."

Toatapio Nuva Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IC Kavala(Le-Wahi, southern tip): "Well, the village didn't cover all of the area", Kavala said. "That's why some of the islets are still on the surface. They're unsuitable for anything, though. The real treasure lies underwater. But if we get closer, you'll see that the Ga-Matoran have built wooden surfaces to walk on." Kavala stepped into the water, but stopped. "If you need it, we can hastily construct a canoe for you to cross with. I could create an earth ramp too, but that would attract too much attention. Besides, I'm saving my energy."

Toatapio Nuva Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IC Kavala(Le-Wahi, southern tip): "In that case, consider it done", Kavala said and got out of the water. He was not a crafter, but even he could quickly assemble a crude raft-like canoe out of the pieces of wood that were scattered on the southern shores. Much debris had washe here from Xa-Koro when it first sunk into the water. The building of the canoe took some time, even though it wasn't very well-made. The end result did float, however, and was sturdy enough to support one Toa. "Not the most impressive thing anyone has built, but it works", Kavala said. "Simple but effective.

Toatapio Nuva Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IC Kavala(Kumu Islets): "Let's go then." Kavala leaped skillfully into the water and grabbed the front of the canoe, pulling it off the shore. It wobbled from side to side, but stayed afloat. Kavala pulled the craft, giving Iegasa some momentum. Then, he noticed something coming at them... many of them, actually. Tarakava, Kavala thought. This won't be a problem. They answer to me. Kavala began signaling to the Rahi, expecting them to turn around and leave him and Iegasa alone. But they kept coming closer. Fast. Kavala felt his heart sink. What is this? The Tarakava in these waters obey me! They... they've always done what I've wanted them to, because... The horrible truth dawned on Kavala even as the first Tarakava reached the duo. During the time he had lived in the Xa-Koro ruins, Kavala had fed the Tarakava and protected them from danger, as well as offered places to dwell in. He had takenn care of them like they were his pets, and in return the Rahi had answered to him and helped him with whatever he needed. But that had been before Kavala was captured and taken into a foreign village for months. The Tarakava had meanwhile got accustomed to living without him. Now, Kavala was nothing more than prey to these dangerous creatures. Just as he realized this, one Tarakava struck a might blow at Kavala, knocking him out of the water and to the air. Kavala was flung over Iegasa's canoe before splashing back in the water. The canoe wobbled and another Rahi was approaching it.

25K Now! Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IC: Iegasa Tarakava. Fearsome creatures of the sea. Iegasa knew it was incredibly risky to venture out into any waters that contained them, especially if there were more than one. They could be peaceful, he knew - after all, Ga-koro lived at peace with the Tarakava of Naho Bay. Yet the aggressive ones were quite common as well, and the group before him was indeed of the latter demeanour. The canoe shook. It would take some difficulty to survive this encounter. The shrinekeeper slowly rose to his feet, careful to not unbalance the boat. Wisps of plasma began to float around his right arm, now pointing forwards at the closest Tarakava. While slightly distasteful, he would have to kill the Rahi. He breathed in. The wisps grew larger. Then they coalesced. A ball of plasma splattered towards the closest Tarakava in an upwards arc. http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toatapio Nuva Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IC Kavala(Kumu Islets): Kavala barely registered what was going on around him. He felt strong pain in his side, but discovered that fortunately nothing had been broken. His mask was still on, and his form was intact. Using his Kaukau, Kavala took a few deep breaths underwater to recover from the shock of being punched by a gigantic lizard. He felt a disturbance in the water and turned to see one of the Tarakava lung at him. This time, Kavala was prepared. Ignoring the pain in his side, he twisted himself so that the Rahi missed. Then, taking out his prized sword with the infected Hau carved on it, he slashed at the Tarakava. The beast let our an underwater roar and retreated. Above Kavala, Iegasa was fending off an attack with his plasma powers. Plasma was a powerful element, but the Tarakava could easily strike at the canoe from below in order to destroy it. A dead, burned Tarakava sunk into the water next to the canoe. Clearly, the plasma had effectively killed it. Staying underwater gave cover against even the heat of plasma, but the Tarakava were not smart. More of them approached the canoe from different sides. Kavala decided to protect the canoa by fending off attacks underneath it. Iegasa could deal with those Rahi that were breaking the surface.

25K Now! Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IC: Iegasa Iegasa extended his staff, stabbing the end into a Tarakava's mouth. Plasma flowed through the tool, the superhot substance melting away at the creature's head. He quickly pulled out and swung around to block a punch from another of the Rahi, his body rattling from the blow. There were many of them, but they would persevere. http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toatapio Nuva Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IC Kavala(Kumu Islets): The Rahi kept coming for what seemed like hours. Finally, they realized that the two Toa were not easy prey and left to find something easier to catch. Kavala's head popped out of the water near the canoe, which had miraculously stayed afloat in the midst of the conflict. He was clearly exhausted. "That... was unexpected", Kavala said breathlessly.

This time the progress was much slower. "At least we now proved ourselves to be on the upper end of the food chain, so we should be fine for the time being."

Okay, so I had to admit I found reunions a bit touching, I decided to drop my longggg list of complaints against Joske...for now... When did I become such a sap? ._. On another note, I didn't want to say anything but I was starting to feel the strain from maintaining the bubble for as long as I had.

"I don't know when I will get the chance, but someday I'll do it. It belongs to me... to Makuta. The Ga-Matoran should've stayed on that pathetic pile of weed in Naho Bay." Kavala stopped suddenly. The platforms where Ga-Matoran worked were only dimly visible, but Iegasa could still see movement. The marines were there. "This is what has become of the glorious Xa-Koro", Kavala announced grimly.

Toatapio Nuva Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IC Kavala(Kumu Islets, Rockwall): "We must get closer still", Kavala said. "I see so many new things... a lot has changed here, I can tell." Kavala drew the canoe closer to the ruins, expecting to see more platforms and Matoran. What he eventually saw threw him into rage. The ruins of Xa-Koro looked nothing like they had before. Instead of the open, foggy sea with a damaged lighthouse at its center, the location was surrounded by an enormous wall of rock, looking inpenetrable and imposing. Ga-Matoran fishing boats went in and out the structure, doubtless transporting supplies to and from the new settlement. It was impossible to see much of what lay behind the wall, but Kavala thought he saw a port of some sort at one side. The dead ruins had grown into a village of its own, filled with life and activity. It was truly a disgusting sight. "What have they done...", Kavala managed to breathe out in exasperation. He was so angry at Ga-Koro he could've just swamo to the gates and unleashed the fury of his elemental powers at each and every Ga-Matoran... but his rational side remained in control, denying him that sweet but suicidal act. The marines had beat him last time, and would do it again if he didn't plan carefully. "They have taken my home away from me and transformed it into a vile pesthole."

Toatapio Nuva Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IC Kavala(Kumu Islets, secret hideout): Kavala didn't wait for questions. He grabbed Iegasa by the arm and pulled him under the water. They were submerged for only a short period of time before emerging in an old, submerged hut with an airpocket. The hut had been one of those in Xa-Koro, but had been swept further away from its original spot by the waves that had destroyed the village. There hadn't been an airpocket back then, of course, but Kavala had done a lot of tweaking on many of the underwater ruined buildings, sealing them and creating airpockets in case he needed them. The hut itself was ugly on the inside. There were only the dirty walls with dried seaweed hanging on them to look at. The floor contained the puddle through which one could come and go from the hut. A couple of lightstones illuminated the otherwise dark quarters. A lone chest rested in one corner of the space. "One of my huts", Kavala explained, though it was probably obvious. "I didn't really come here after I made the airpocket, though. There's nothing here but some supplies in that chest. But now, it's a good place to plan our next move." OOC: I know the grabbing of the arm is a type of auto-hit, and I apologize for it.

The wall is certainly inpenetrable and everything going in and out is probably well regulated. Physical violence won't do the trick. We need to be stealthy and clever." Kavala adjusted his position. "Years ago, the original Xa-Koro was destroyed by igniting the catacombs beneath the village. The catacombs were full of methane gas, which meant that making a fire there was... pretty disastrous. Boom, there goes the village. I think that a similar approach must be taken if we wish to reclaim this piece of land... we must re-enact the destruction of Xa-Koro."
