Corpus Rahkshi

[Funkydude527]

IC Phogen: Phogen chuckled to herself, sauntering far enough back to allow for the illusion of privacy. The enigma next to her was intriguing. An obvious third wheel, and one who looked like not much fun was to be had. The derahk glanced over and examined Zelnos a bit before looking back to the two leading on. She idly commented as the group madetheir way to their seats "They're a nice couple, aren't they?"

 

And she meant it. A couple with utility. And a happy couple to boot. A happy associate was an effective associate. And Hoto was certainly being effective.

IC: Sanu

"Ahh! But my Foot is Broken, and stuck under a Rock. So I can't Come with you."

He Started getting nervous, 

How can I get No-Eyes occupied with something else other than breaking my legs.

"And Your team didn't down All our Teammates. There's still at least one left, and He'll be hardest."

Because he's in Visorak Captivity! Probably Dinner by now or something.

He was Doing this, Knowing that even if No-Eyes could tell Truth from Lies, This would be the Truth, with Stuff left out.

"You do not want to even try and attack him." He said, Grinning.

Because if you do, you'll also be Visorak Chow!

[In Between the Shadows]

IC: Zelnos | Malebranche

 

He glanced at the hooded figure walking next to him. "They are."

Another rahkshi in Malebranche?

[Ghidora131]

IC Vaalku

 

Walking along, Vaalku eventually led the group of whoever was following him to the courtyard.

 

Any other Rahks there would probably be annoyed, but where best to end the tour and be done with them all?

[Khromatose]

IC: Punch/Doublecross

Shield kept on blocking my way out.

"Stop?" I said with exasperation. "Why? Do you want him to die? Well fine then."

I put him back down.

 

IC: Stronghold/Backstab

I went back upon hearing the explosion. Apparently Plantrahk did something stupid. And from what I can see, he seemed heavily injured.

"What did you do?"

[Dane-gerous]

IC: Shield

Ignoring the idiots, Shield went up to Root's body, hugged him one last time. He then got off, and nodded at Punch to let him go.

IC: Zelnos | Malebranche

He glanced at the hooded figure walking next to him. "They are." Another rahkshi in Malebranche?

IC Phogen: Phogen looked over, showing the intellegent smirk and glowing eyes under the hood. She offered up a wry bit of humor in a quiet voice. "To whom do I have the honor of sharing the third wheel with?"

[Khromatose]

IC: Punch/Doublecross

"Really? Was that it?" I said with exasperation. I shrugged.

I picked him up. And then I began the run to the Crawler.

I passed Stronghold who just nodded as I passed, but then afterwards he prepared to deal with Shield with spiked cestuses.

IC: Squid

 

Squid was in the Refectory, and he pulled out a fruit to eat.

 

OOC: Squid is open for interaction.

[Smudge8]

IC: Revenge-Hallway

 

Revenge shook himself, these new students were really anoying him.  Was I this bad when I first arrived, he thought.  No, I was worse.  He loudly cleared his throat to get everyone's attention than glared at Vaalku.  "If you will follow me this way I will show you to the infirmary.  This is where Palma works, healing up anyone who needs it.  She is usually nice but don't get on her bad side."

[McNugget]

IC: Blade

Blade Followed Revenge towards the Infirmary

 

IC: Vorzorak

The Exit of the Low way was Approaching, He Exited the Low way, and found the Village in Sight.

Now, To the Crawler, or to the Flag? He Thought. 

[Dane-gerous]

IC: Shield

"I'm not in the mood ." Shield said, definitely much more spiteful than usual. His body hurt, but he was prepared to kick this motherer's tail.

[silo]

IC: Raith - Library

"He did? That's wonderful." I reply to 'Deadeye'. "I should like to meet him...what else can you tell me about him?"

[Khromatose]

IC: Stronghold/Makeshift and Open Prison

I gestured to let Shield go first. He was angry and hurt. I was going to knock him out and hopefully Era would hurry up and get over here. To hopefully get her to hurry, I spoke, knowing that she would hear me.

"Jailbreak? Seriously? There was other ways to do so without injury."

[Dane-gerous]

IC: Shield

"Let. Me. Go. With. Him." Shield said, his voice getting even more angry than before.

IC: Deadeye

"Well, he likes to "free" people, I don't know what that means, but it usually turns out for the good!" Deadeye said.

[Khromatose]

IC: Stronghold/Makeshift and Open Prison
I loosened up. He was loyal, and I'll give him that. I walked up and quickly engraved on a rock for him to read.
"Alright, I respect your loyalty to your friend. Give me a punch to the gut and go. I'll tell her you caught me by surprise. And I'll tell her that Punch took Root, too. She won't bother with you guys hopefully. Nod if you understand and I'll break this up before you take your leave."

Intriguing...

"Tell me more."

Shield didn't even nod, he just went straight into a kick towards the gut, knocking him over. He then followed after Punch.

OOC: That was technically an invited autohit btw

IC: Shock

Shock was finally coming to. What the karz- he then looked at who he ran into: a chain lightning Rahk. "Nice feet" was all he could muster to say.

 

IC: Vitesse

Vitesse looked around. The stage in the middle was not lost on her. Probably for executions, she thought. She then followed Revenge to the nurses office.

"Well, he's very kind. He tried to turn that bully Booger into a good person, but it didn't happen." Deadeye looked sad.

IC: Rain - Visorak Jungle (Team Doublecross)

 

Rain blinked for a moment, just realizing that nothing had come out of her mouth. Perhaps she was a little overexcited.

 

Then she jumped right back into her offer with a sly grin. "I said there's a Rahkshi that is overdue for her demise, and your powers over silence would be greatly appreciated."

 

 

IC: Hoto - Malebranche

 

Her grin only broadened. Though it didn't give her a much better idea of what to expect, Jayar's enthusiasm was infectious. She had listened to smaller Matoran bands before, but something told her this was going to be different.

 

As they approached the building, she pulled ahead of Jayar and tried to run through the doors.

 

 

IC: Root - Visorak Jungle (Team Doublecross)

 

Pain beat a steady, staccato rhythm against our hero's battered armor. Gradually, he opened his eyes. Just the effort of that oft overlooked task seemed too much. 

 

'Twas their fellow prisoner that carried him, running haphazardly through the jungle as if his load was a mere sack of slop. Root gave a soft groan.

 

"H-h-how... f-f-fares... Shield?" he murmured between crashing footsteps.

[Khromatose]

IC: Stronghold/Makeshift and Open Prison
Didn't expect that. As soon as the kick hit, I brought up my knee and shattered the stone into illegible shards. I landed on the ground. Oof. After Shield left, I decided to pick up Alpha and make my way to Era.

 

IC: Punch/To the Crawler

I kept running, and jumping, and ducking, anything to reduce the time and distance to the Crawler. I turned around regularly to check for any members of the opposite team, but I soon saw Shield. But then Root awoke.

"Just rest friend. We'll be there soon."
And upon his question, Punch decided to let him know that--

"Shield's fine, and he's tagging along as an escort."

IC: Shark / Team Doublecross / Visorak Wilds

 

 

Shark contemplated for a moment. "The Derahk?" he asked Rain. As far as he knew (and oh yes, he knew) the only Derahk here was the one who had found him in the woods, standing over Fang, and stolen his kill. It would be satisfying to get vengeance on her for that.

 

But vengeance and satisfaction were the concepts of emotion, and Shark was too smart to fall for that nonsense and barge into a fight he couldn't win. Even through his silence field from a great distance away, the Derahk had been able to knock aside his blade. She was at least a level three to do that, probably a level four. Up close, her powers would be even more effective, and he wasn't willing to take a chance if the odds weren't stacked significantly in his favor.

 

"She's a high level, at least three, maybe four," Shark told Rain, before holding out his unnamed sword and continuing, "And the Surahk dulled most my blade. It wouldn't be an easy fight."

 

Here he smiled a smile Rain would find familiar, for its chilling ferocity matched her own. "But it would certainly be fun. I'm in." It would take planning, preparation, but the two of them could surely do it. He sheathed his sword and held out a massive hand for his new partner to shake.

IC: Jayar / Fourth Tier

 

 

Jayar smiled and rushed along with Hoto, only to find a Skakdi doorman suddenly bar their way into the building. "Tickets please," he asked them in a bored voice which grew slightly less apathetic when he suddenly realized the beings trying to enter were Rahkshi. "Wait... you're Rahkshi? Are you escorting someone from the Brotherhood? - We weren't alerted. Where are they?" He glanced around, searching for the nonexistant Brotherhood dignitary.

 

Somewhat irritated at the intrusion, Jayar too glanced around, for Veltorm. The four-armed escort would cover any expenses they accrued, Grossh had said, and now would be a good time for him to do so. Wafting through the air out of the building was the chaotic but somehow captivating disharmony of an orchestra preparing for a performance...

"Tickets please," he asked them in a bored voice which grew slightly less apathetic when he suddenly realized the beings trying to enter were Rahkshi. "Wait... you're Rahkshi? Are you escorting someone from the Brotherhood? - We weren't alerted. Where are they?" He glanced around, searching for the nonexistant Brotherhood dignitary.

 

IC Phogen: In elegant matoran, trying her best to look disarming and casual, Phogen ghoulishly whispered out "Oh, we are no escort. Just a few individuals trying to get tickets. We come of our own accord to experience the performance. We are patrons of the arts, and paying customers like any other. We mean only to rend our money to you in exchange for a chance to enjoy the fine arts." The voice was unnerving and phantasmic all at once, but his body language showed confidence and intelligence, as well as a sort of joviality. Edited March 30, 2015 by Funkydude527

[Nato G]

IC: Era - Backstab (Farsholt Village).

 

"I've personally defeated at least four or five of your teammates," I stifled a yawn, "and since I'm level four and, at best, your teammate is a level two, I'm not really scared," with that, I swung Rattler down towards his legs. 

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

IC: Sidonas - Visorak, near Crawler.

Sidonas saw Faithful come near, but he was ready this time, as he had guessed how the blade worked. He ran and jumped over the blade, it was close, very close, but he hit the ground on his feet, even though his arm hurt like Karzahni. He legged it back to the Crawler, and saw Fang awake. He began to speak, saying "Hey, Fang, looks like Tridax decided-" but the pain of his broken arm, the slashes from Faithful and Shark's greatsword, and also his exhaustion from sprinting through jungle and over sand, finally forced him to give in to tiredness and his wounds.

Sidonas collapsed, falling flat on his face on the floor of the Crawler.

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Kat:

 

"Once you're all healed, rally on my position at Backstab Base! We're making a stand against theVisorak, people!"

 

I took my leave, making my way toward the base once more. With any luck, they'd be willing to at least hear me out. Maybe even listen to me for once. That'd be a nice change of pace. I cut through a bit of dense foliage, making good progress.

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

IC: Skakdi Ticket Guy / Outside Actor's Cradle

 

 

Before Veltorm could lumber over Phogen had already approached the Skakdi with her otherworldly declarations. He looked somewhat unnerved by this sudden appearance of a talking, indeed apparently intelligent enough to be music-appreciating, Rahkshi. But he was still a Skakdi, not an easily unsettled breed, and he replied, "Well, okay... great..._^? So long as you can indeed pay for the tickets..."

IC: Rain - Visorak Jungle (Team Doublecross)

 

She nodded in confirmation and absentmindedly flexed her fingers, wishing she had her staff to twirl. "She... caught me off-guard the first time," Rain hissed wickedly. "A mistake I will not be repeating. Somehow, the Brakas seems to be able to see... or hear everything around her, even through my fog. But there is only so much she can do against two opponents."

 

 

IC: Hoto - Malebranche

 

Hoto skid to a stop and looked up at the Skakdi, mouth agape with disappointment. Already, she could hear the soft and enchanting hum of an orchestra coming to life. It pulled at her, beckoning her to immerse herself into it. But this Skakdi stood in the way. She looked around for Veltorm, only to hear Phogen's strange Matoran voice. Phogen would take care of it. Phogen took care of everything.

 

 

IC: Root - Visorak Jungle (Team Doublecross)

 

The frightening speed of their progress was doing little to aid his recovery. Rather, the excruciating pain of his ally's every step threatened to send him into unconsciousness once more.

 

"G-g-g-good..." he called, weakly. "G-g-g-g-good..."

 

Our hero slumped back down across the Doublecrosser's shoulders, too weak to speak again.

 

 

IC: Fang - Crawler (Team Backstab)

 

His wish went unanswered, and he hoped that meant the Rahkshi was alright. Surely, Caoutchouc had warned them, and they had saved their ally before the enemy could carry out their threats.

 

He didn't quite feel up to running around and fighting yet, so he slumped back into the bed and allowed his eyes to close.

[Nato G]

IC: Exxan - Backstab (Terrain Crawler). 

 

With my arm and chest finally patched up, I forced myself to my feet and started heading in the same direction Kat had been going in. I didn't care much about the assignment now. All that mattered was helping my remaining teammates survive the Visorak. 

[Funkydude527]

IC Phogen: It took some quick mental math. She had pilfered a 100 widget bill and a 10 widget coin from the hapless fool on the cable car, used 17 widgets to buy the caramel cake, and tickets, at least those in a section that was not in the middle of nowhere ran at a little under 20 widgets when taxes were added... Oh, this worked out marvelously. Moreso if someone else had money, but either way it would benefit employee number one.

 

She slid the 92 and change widgets across the counter. "Four tickets, second-tier house seating. Please distribute them to the other three rahkshi and the big fellow right there, good sir." With that, Phogen stepped aside politely to let the others approach, gracious in her payment.

Shark nodded sympathetically at Rain's frustration. "Indeed... But you will need a weapon if our assault is to be effective," he pointed out.

IC: Jayar / Actor's Cradle

 

 

Jayar watched and listened as Phogen negotiated with the Skakdi for four tickets with a notable amount of skill and money. And not even a ticket for itself. Was it giving up hard-earned wages for them? Or was it even its money at all? Either way, to sway him it surely would be worth it, he realized...

 

Still, he stopped before proceeding into the building and said without frustration, "You didn't have to spend any of that money on tickets, you know. Veltorm's here to cover costs as need be. He could have payed, rather than you spending the your own money hard-earned by... Just how did you earn it?" he asked curiously.

[Nato G]

IC: Sliver - Doublecross (Farsholt Village Lighthouse). 

 

I flew through the long-broken window of the lighthouse tower, landing softly in the dust. It'd had taken me a while to work my way around the beach to the bottom of the sheer, rocky cliffs. The beach had run out several hundred bio before that point, and I'd been forced to take to the air, flying cautiously. In my current state, the last thing I'd wanted to do was fall.

 

There was nothing down there but deep water, jagged rocks, and the broken bodies of long-dead Visorak. 

 

But now, I had the advantage of surprise. Making each step measured and careful, I slowly began to work my way down the tower steps. I was going to make these fools regret making me mad....

IC: Hoto - Malebranche

 

Hoto slid right up to the window and snatched away her ticket, flashing Phogen a wide grin. Finally, she could get inside. It didn't matter much where the money had come from.

 

 

IC: Rain - Visorak Jungle (Team Doublecross)

 

Rain snarled and clenched her fists. "I had to leave my staff behind, with all of my paints and knives. It's in a hut over in their ramshackle base. If Noisy didn't move it, that is. I swear, if she laid one filthy claw on my staff..."

 

She drifted off into muttered curses and threats, already imagining what horrors could await the Derahk.

 

 

IC: Fang - Crawler (Team Backstab)

 

...but he couldn't get the rest he needed. He rolled back and forth, trying to find a softer spot on the bed, but this discomfort was not physical.

 

Visorak were out there. He didn't know much about the spider Rahi, but he knew they were dangerous. And with his team decimated, they might find it difficult to fight back. No, he didn't care all that much if Exxan got eaten. But he couldn't bear the thought of Visorak surrounding Kat, overcoming her great skill with sheer numbers...

 

He had failed her on Nynrah. He had to be there for her this time.

 

Fang slowly pushed himself out of bed and staggered for the doorway. Getting out wasn't going to be much easier than getting in, at least the first time. But he was not leaving Kat this time.

IC Kat:

 

It was only a few minues before I came through to a clearing to find Shiny and what matched Cao's description of the Rahkshi who'd attacked them.

 

Somewhere, I remembered they'd also killed a student..... 

 

"Well, well, well, what have we here?" I asked, stepping forward, with Venom in hand. 

 

The Silence Rahkshi was big, bulky. I cracked a wicked grin.

Rain slowly turned around, the vicious smile never leaving her face. "Hiya, Thorns. I'd like you to meet my friend. We were just imagining how best to kill Noisy back there."

[Not Quite Dead]

IC - Visorak Wilds

One.

 

Two.

 

Three.

 

All three of his teammates had left by now, Kat leading a charge of some sort. It took the rubberrahk much longer to do so, he was shaken and scared from his fight earlier. He had fought before, even fought in incredibly dangerous situations, like that cavern stadium, but... He had never come that close to dying before, something about his battle with the elasmobranchal rahk had felt more real than those other fights. It wasn't a game or for sport, it was live or die, kill or be killed.

 

He got to his feet, arm and leg patched up, he'd been out of it for quite a while... He couldn't afford to do so any longer, his would-be killers were still out there and now visorak as well. It still was a battle of survival out there, could he live with himself if he left the others unaided? He didn't want to find out. Kat and Exxan were surely far ahead now, Fang likely close by, though he couldn't see him from the crawler's mechanical adit. A quick scan of the sands showed tree sets of foot prints and disturbed foliage leading into the jungle, with a steadying breath, he set off after them.

[Banana Gunz]

IC: Scoops

 

Scoops happily popped along with the rest of the tour group to see the infirmary. It was quite a fascinating place to him, but he wondered why it would be needed for such a lovely place as this has been so far. Then again, the stories he's heard have told otherwise.

 

"Do good rahks get sugar pops after we've gotten a check up? Oh, what about shots? I imagine us rahkshi must have to get lots of those! A healthy kraata is a happy kraata! I don't think I'd quite like shots though. Too much pointy and too much ow. OH, what's this?"

 

He started toying around with an empty box for a few seconds. It's pretty appearance had intrigued him, but he quickly abandoned it, disappointed, after finding it to be empty. To think what wonders and treasures he could have found lying in there, just waiting to be found by some lucky chap like him! Alas, his hope and wonder was let down by this misleading box, but he was willing to forgive. Besides, he practically forgot all about it the moment he put it down.
