Tabby: Toa of Cats

IC: Cy turned his attention to the fallen Toa of Iron next to him. "I hope that you don't mind, but I see some batty high-flyers, so I best sky-jump and air-blast them. Be right back."Cy soared into the air with his Kadin, and fired cyclone blasts at his foes.OOC:If I am correct the Mystix are now visible. If not, correct me.

OOC:Ziraul most likely saw them enter, seeing as he climbed a tree to keep up with you. But that gives me a different reason to be at the stables, which I will edit in.

OOC:If she survives the battle, talk to Divan, who is with Miraul and team.IC: Cy turned and said, "Ok. The name's Green Tornado. Use either word for short." Spotting somthing, he said, "Look's like something's going on in the Gukko stables. Let's check it out. I suggest you stick with me-I have some experience when it comes to fights."

OOC:Perhaps Cy or Divan (my Toa of Iron) can train her?IC:Cy placed a hand the Toa of Iron's shoulder in order to steady her. "Are you okay? Perhaps you should sit this one out." He answered the Matoran, " I know someone was planning an attack on the village, but who is still something we're working on."Miraul and his team arrived at last. They had plans to spend the night before setting out for the Charred Forest. They were surprised to see the fallen tree. Taking the elevator, the team hurried to see what was going on. They encountered Ziraul on the way, since he had reached the tree top. "We're falling under attack by some kind of bat-wing creatures. A group slipped into the Gukko stables, it seems. I took a look around. They poisioned the feed, it seems, from what I can tell in my work's line of knowledge.(*) Can Vilak and Takamaz take care of that?""Got it." answered Miraul. He dispatched the two to the stables, where they systematically ignited each feed bin, suprised by the poision's flammiblity. Takamaz kept the blaze under his careful control, until the poision was gone. One or two Gukko had already eaten, but most had not and would thus would not be affected.OOC: Ziraul is somewhat well known for his skill in killing Makuta minions. He likely would have a decent knowledge of poison.

IC: Ziraul luckily avoided the spikes with the percision of an expert. Tirax was not so lucky, stepping on one, and crying out in pain. Only the silence feild stopped the noise from escaping. Ziraul dropped the feild, moving to a nearby tree and climbing at an even faster pace, long years of experience hunting Makuta minions giving him some decent experience with climbing. Tirax took a different approach, hurling his axe at Kraal.The Green Tornado turned at the crash of a tree. "Looks like they're here already. Get the gukko force ready-I'll help take care of this!" He turned on his Kadin, zipping to the spot. "What's happened here? Did someone cause this tree to collapse?" he said to a Toa of Iron he saw at the scene.

OOC:Emzee, FYI, Matau should know Cy, seeing as he is a Le-Koro resident. He may refer to him as Green, Cy, and Tornado, respectivly.IC: "I was going out for a stroll when I saw a bat-winged creature wandering around. I inquired as to who or what he was. He answered that it was none of my buisness, and that I would soon understand. He then stated that he beleived there would soon be an attack on this village, and then inquired about our defences. I told him I did not inform strangers about our defences, and that he should report to you if he suspected such. He refused, mentioned some previous attack on Xa-Koro, and said that there were rumors 'they'-persumably the perpatrators of the previous attack-were headed here next. He indicated the attack was supposed to come from inland, and then attempted to knock me out. He flew off in the direction of Xa-Koro. Judging by his final actions and inquiry about defenses, I beleive he may have been a spy and could be trying to mislead us. But regardless, I felt it was best to alert both you, and the Gukko Force, whom I already told about the incident." Cy answered.OOC:Pirok, Toa of Sonics can absorb sound at any frequency, not just audible ones, -thus the silence feild will effectively mask our location.Since Ziraul and Tirax are also visually masked via Mahiki, they are very well concealed. Can you explain how you detirmined my location to do the iron spike?

OOC:Krall and Agira are on the ground, correct? Ziraul has a silence feild on him and Tirax, so sonar will not pick them up.IC: Ziraul carefully listened, overhearing two beings in the nearby jungle, and crept up on them in perfect silence, covering himself and Tirax in a cloak of illusions. Overhearing the disscussion of some kind of signal, he focused, using his Mahiki to create a series of bright flashes around his foes in an attempt to blind them.

IC: Ziraul had been extra vigilant since he saw the the mysterious bat creature mention an attack. He had been placing an effort on listening for things around the village. He heard someone mention something about a Gukko being easy to knock out of the sky with wind. He pinpointed the origin of the noise, and pointed it out to Tirax. A second later an impact vision bolt shot towards the tree where a Mystix was concealed.

OOC: Who are Mekrof's enemies-the Mystix?IC: Ziraul observed the Green Tornado's interactions with the bat-wing monster in complete silence and invisibility. He turned to Tirax beside him in the trees, and said "Be ready to defend the Matoran-from what I overheard, there may be trouble on the way."Ziraul had stopped in Le-Koro with plans to spend the night before the trip to Charred Forest. It appeared they were going to be interupted, and he wasn't happy about it.

IC:"Very well. Just don't start any more forest fires." Takamaz waved goodbye to the Skakdi. The Toa finished their meal and and started to pack up.

OOC: Never said he didn't consider that.IC: With no one answering, Cy finally gave in to his instincts. He backed away from the door and took control of the air inside the hut with his element, as a powerful gust of wind blew the door open. "Sorry about the door, but I have potential reason to believe that someone is planning to attack Le-Koro."

A species called the Mystix is planning to attack Le-Koro. That might be good, but it could wind up fairly fast-paced.

OOC:Not nessicarily. If someone tells you that and then tries to knock you out, you may suspect he's lying, so I can say that much. Cy is not a bad tactician. IC: Cy sighed when he got no response and hammered with all his might in a triple knock.

IC: Cy ducked the punch with skill that Laz had not expected. Seeing the bat-wing creature fly off, he ran up to a member of the Gukko Force, warning him as to what was going on. The Le-Matoran ran off to warn others of the possible danger. Cy ran towards the hut of Matau to warn him next. He knocked on the door.

IC: "I don't help strangers locate defences. If you suspect an attack, come with me and we will warn Turaga Matau." Answered Cy.OOC: Cy is the shorthand name for Tornado and his actual name. It ironically comes from cyclone.

I was working on an idea for a hive-mind species this morning-if they could be approved, they could play a big part in mildly big-battle. Though they only have five charecters planned so far, it could still be interesting.

OOC:Consider some time having past since Miraul and Bijackal are now out hunting.IC: Miraul and Bijackal spotted a small flock of birds soaring overhead. Without missing a beat, Miraul drew his bow and shot off three arrows in a rapid succession enabled by his Kakama. Three birds landed at his feet, arrows poking through them. He smiled and said "Let's take them back to camp-I think they'll be enough."---Miraul and Bijackal returned to camp. Bijackal and Takamaz set up a small cooking fire, and began to roast the birds.OOC EDIT: Introducing the Green Tornado.IC: The Green Tornado walked out of his hut to spot a bat-winged creature walking around the Koro. He approached, hoping it was not a Rahi. "Hello. Um...who...and what...are you?"

OOC: I personally wish you had done the same-a trial in Onu-Koro would have cleared D's name, in my charecter's opinions, likely enabling us all to continue RPing without any conflicts.Who knows, Miraul may come back later and clear things up.IC: The next morning Miraul woke up, smiling as he saw the sunrise. Other than Divan, who was currently on guard, no one was awake. He turned to Divan and said, "I'm gonna wake up Bijackal and go see if we can find a little breakfast." Divan nodded.OOC: If you want to join the Rahi hunt, now's the time to wake up.

IC:Miraul smiled as he layed down under the closest the jungle canopy had to an open sky. He was out like a light.Only Vilak, a Toa of Plasma, stayed awake and standing, since he was on watch.OOC: Unless you want something to happen during the night, then just have your char go to sleep and wake up the next morning. We'll head to Le-Koro after that.

IC: Miraul chuckled and said,"Not much, but there's a bula patch right there. Count yourself lucky you only scorched half of it." Miraul went and started picking a few for the team and the newcomer. OOC: Bula are a variety of berry, if I recall correctly. Matoran can absorb energy from them on contact, but Skakdi and Toa may be another matter, so I'd suggest simply eating them.

I beleive sand and earth were the same page on BS01 before it's current crash, and were the same element under different names (Much like Jungle and the Green.) When the element pages get back up, that may clarify things a little. But the best approach for figuring out who controls what is to ask staff, so that's probably what should be done, rather than debating it in the discussion topic.

IC: Miraul chuckled at the Skakdi's answer. "Seeing as it's getting late here, I suggest we make camp for the night. Vilak, you have first shift on guard." The team began doing various things, and within a half hour, a small improv shelter was ready for the night.

Overall good, as you portray the conflicts Nuparu faces very accurately, but your piece conflicts with canon in a major way. The Vahki existed pre-Kanohi Dragon attack, and Lhikan was only called to the city when the Vahki could not defeat it. If you want to fix it, that requires a major re-write of the climax and conclusion.Edit: I especially like the way you symbolically showed the story was not finished through the sun not yet having reached it's highest point.

IC: "If you're lost, then you can just follow us back to Le-Koro. So long as you don't try any more wildfires." Bijackal answered.

IC: Miraul only needed to raise a hand, as he created a magnetic field around it with repulsive effects, strong enough to hopefully keep the Skakdi from pointing the strange-looking weapon at them. Takamaz sighed as he said, "Why do you want to start a wildfire?"
