Chapter 22: Settling inThe Apartment...Tahu: Why does it seem like nothing has changed?Tahu Nuva: I don't know. I mean, you're still consuming 10 Donuts a day....JL: It hasn't changed because war hasn't been declared yet. For a while, the UBN needs to realize our message and plan the fight.Tahu: What IS the UBN?JL: I could tell you that, but if I did, I would have to kill you.Tahu Nuva: What about me! I can keep a secret!JL: I'd have to kill you to. No exceptions.Both Tahu's: Darn.Tahu: Also, what type of Toa are you? You just seem to hurl weird energies.JL: I'd have to kill you to.Tahu: Because of your employers? The UBN?JL: No.Tahu Nuva: Then why?JL: Because I'm awesome. Awesome people need to keep secrets.=====Pridak: So. What today?Ehlek: I'm bored.Pridak: Thats why I asked. What today? After our car building race failed -Kalmah: Actually, they might be making some for the war-Pridak: Really? Thats the first time the ever appreciated my idea.Mantax:... It wasn't your idea. You took it from a folder with the words "War Plans". I think they had it first.Pridak:...... I converted my idea into something fun.Kalmah: All I have to say is it wasn't fun at all.Pridak: Fine. What do we do today?Kalmah:..... Lets mess with someone..... Later.....Kalmah: Really?Pridak: You suggested it, you do it. Go! (Kicks Kalmah)Kalmah: Uhhhh..... Furno 3.0, I love you.All 3.0 Sets:.....Furno 3.0: ... Do I have to say "I Choose You or something?"Rocka 3.0: I think thats for a marriage. He hasn't proposed yet.Pridak: *Snicker*Carapar: Uhhh... Duh Duh Duhduh! Duh Duh Duhduh! (Marriage music)Furno 3.0: Ummmm... no. I have someone else I like.Breeze 2.0 smiles.Pridak: Oh yeah, what happened to your old bodies?Furno 3.0: I'm not sure. It felt like my soul got sucked into this new body once it was built. But at least I don't have those goggly goggles.Pridak: That doesn't happen to Bionicles at all....Stormer 3.0: Oh, I don't know.Fire Lord: And I... am not a nub.Bulk: AND BOTH OF MY ARMS! ARE GUNS!=====In the upper cupboard, AKA Makuta Meeting AreaTeridax: Do not fail me.Antroz: We will not!Vamprah: We will not!Mutran: We will not! Muh!Teridax: Then...... go! Destroy!!!!!!.... And remember to steal the NDS.=====Pridak: Alright. Who's next? (Spins bottle)..... Bulk.Takadox:... Truth or dare!Bulk: Dare.All except Bulk: *Whisper* Mumble mumble.... mumble....Bulk 3.0: Dear younger self who can only fight that blue monster, we have decided that you must grab toilet paper and wrap it around yourself until you are a mummy.Bulk:..... I would, except that BOTH OF MY ARMS! ARE GUNS!Pridak: So?Bulk: (Points gun at him) I can do this!Pridak: And? We aren't in the other world. We are in the human world. Right now, you are made of plastic. Pointing a gun at me shouldn't do much.Bulk: So? We function the same, we just have plastic .... additions. *WHUMP*Pridak: Oh, %^*(! (Gets plown through wall)Takadox:..... How'd you do that?Bulk: BOTH OF MY AMRS! ARE GUNS!=====Zaktan: Its your big day, Hakann. Your life will flash in front of your eyes, and you will either be the happiest person-Reidak: Until the breakup. B-R-EZaktan: Or the worlds saddest person ever.Hakann: Alright. I'm ready. *Walks over to Vezok, who is reading a book.* Vezok, will you go out with me?Vezok: *Stops reading book* .....Hakann:.....Vezok:......Zaktan: You guys should say something or people will think you guys are ice Toa.Vezok: No.Hakann: What? But... but...Vezok: I do not love others of my own gender.Hakann: You mean... you're male?Zaktan:.... You don't know?Reidak: Stupid. S-T-UHakann: But.... but.... you're blue!Vezok: Blue does not equal disgusting.Hakann:..... Wahaha!!!Hakann runs away crying.Vezok:......Zaktan: You still owe my money.Vezok: Go away.

OOC:

And how the devil did you suddenly acquire the powers of a Toa of Iron midway through a fight? I can see using what little weaponry that was made of metal around along with the Marines as shields but remolding them into a thick blast wall and then re-enforcing your armor? No. Absolutely not. Not as a Toa of Magnetism. Especially with as little metal as their was in the area for you to work with.

Magnetism: I create a flow. This flow, I can mess with. I control where it goes. I control what happens in it. And as such, I control what it affects.Similar to a Toa of fire, just like they can create fire out of thin air, I can create a flow of magnetism - charged electrons. I control the flow. This flow affects metal. By controlling the flow, I can control metal. We are metal beings in this universe; therefore, by controlling the flow, I can control the metal of my armor.I can shape it. I can make it denser by pushing it together. I can reshape and recreate it. Best of all, I can boost it. You say that there's no metal around, and yet there are several Tarakava's ? lots of matorans? Toa?Again, everyone is a being of metal. Tucky wrote it himself.Now, leave it alone. It was all just a matter ofI chose a better element than you did, or, I used my element to the fullest.EDIT: Oh, come on! You have to make that post just before I make mine??IC: ArgentumThe toa of magnetism woke up. He could feel his mask and armor was gone, and he didn't feel like pulling metal from the outside. So he just sat there, dazed.Then he fell asleep again.

IC: ArgentumThe toa of magnetism was snoring before he realized it. And that was good enough, at least better than the big fat whack which came down on his head.

OOC: Enough fights. More adventures. Plus, maybe your army's first feat on Mata Nui is to change a follower of darkness into a defender of light.IC: ArgentumArgentum watched as the Toa blasted past him. Spinning around to face him, he prepared to create a magnetic suction - but 5 arrows stopped him from doing that. 3 of them missed. One of them hit his arm, numbing it all around. The last one hit him in the crotch.Argentum:.... It tickles.And with that, he fell downwards, landing on the beach face first. He was still awake, but he felt very tired. He tried to speak, but all that came out was a muffled mumble or something that seemed pretty similar to a sissy shriek as a crab rahi scuttled underneath him.

IC: Cyrax+JLJL stared at the fortress which loomed in front of them. It had been a short time since they had talked, but he nodded at Mevi. Cyrax just looked over the edge of the bridge.Cyrax: Please, lead the way.

OOC: Can I go ahead and say that the poison is acidic?WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS? That was horridly weird. If he says he didn't request for help, doesn't that mean Kuyre wants to finish Argentum off himself?IC: ArgentumArgentum hurtled through the air, sometimes breathing, sometimes not. He heard what the other guy, who seemed to lead the entire army, had said. As the arrows hurtled over, The Toa of Magnetism tried to do a lucky flip. While 1 missed, another grazed his armor, creating a big slash on his chest, while a third one stuck to his staff. One of the blades got a hole in it, which started to expand.Poison.Argentum turned, and shouted out loud.Argentum: Hey! I serve out of fear, you can't really do much if you get threatened by death! And plus *Silence*The silence made him really annoyed now, and he hoped, now, that help would come. Still, he could move away, and he did so. Just then, he felt something weird, and saw the other guy, the one who had got all the girls, staring into the trees. He turned, flew back over, and shouted.Argentum: And plus, I can't surrender while I can't *Silence*

OOC: Just to let you know, you can't actually escape a magnetic pull. Of course, you can still punch me in the face after I pull you over, but when I am pulling at the entire forest and you're pretty much the only magnetic being...Sorry, Thama, but you're gonna be thrown over here, or get stuck on a tree.Or, you could report me or something, I dunno. I mean, reporting is always capable, with that handy report button. 1 click and boom you can report. But, yeah.IC: ArgentumArgentum started to speak again... and nothing came out. Interesting. Of course, he could hold his breath, but he didn't bother. Using magnetism, he flew into the air, or rather, nothing. And this time, he poked his head out of the little bubble of nothingness.... stopped his elemental energy, and he was able to stay aloft.Argentum: You see, I am now floating. But I'm not using any magnetism to keep me up, or using any gravity. Instead, magnetic residue is not leaving. Why? There's a vacuum. How? Somebody is creating it. If this is one of your guys, well, tell them to stop. If it isn't one of your guys...... I'm going to pull him downwards with massive gravity then I'm gonna keep his armor aloft using magnetism, and i'm gonna keep on doing that until he blacks out, or gets ripped aparrrr-----He could feel the air leaving again. Annoyed, he flew around, and for a moment, he could breath again. Then, he couldn't. Annoyed, he dropped down, moved around, and finally, decided that nobody around the village was using the air.... seeing as he was the only one squirming around like a fool. Taking a chance, he started to pull at every location in the visible forest, knowing that the enemy must be close, seeing as they had to have visibility to do this while at long range.Long range.Taking another guess that the enemy was going to be a disaster at close range, he pulled harder with his magnetism... and caught something. Holding on, he took a pull while he jumped, and used his magnetism to propel himself over. His blades popped out of their sheaths, and again, blades twirled and whirled around him.Whirling, huh?Randomly grabbing metal, he shaped them into some kind of shape (In real life- the helicopter blades) and made them spin. Immediately, air started coming down, letting him breath whenever the air moved.

OOC:

Not sure what LASIK means, but I didn't make up the name.

Personally, I don't too. That is why I wonder what on earth is friggin wrong with Apple and its stupid auto-correct.IC: ArgentumThe Toa of magnetism stared at the Toa who landed in front of him and answered his question. However, that was where all this stemmed.Argentum: Sure, I'm fighting them, but they attacked me. Sure, their attacking me because I serve Makuta, but, hey! Its either serve or get killed! Not my fault, right? So why fight? I mean, Nokama was gonna talk with me, and then, y'know, she just didn't do anything after I woke up. So I walked out, or hopped out, grabbed my mask, and boom! Their attacking me! Sure, to get my mask I had to knock them down, but how else am I supposed to do it? Talk to them?He held out his hand, readying his elemental energy. Turning to the guy with a crossbow, he lifted his hands.Argentum: Right now, the only way I can stand down is if there is something I can stand down on. Currently, I am on a lily pad floating on the water, and I can't stand in water, since its water. So.......He pondered what he had.Argentum: What happens if I stand down? Will the turaga actually TALK to me, or are you just gonna poke me with knives asking for things which I seriously don't know of? Mmmmm? Because of all the tales where good does that to evil, or evil does that to good, 99 out of 100 times the torturing goes nowhere because nobody knows anything.

Furno, Rocka and Stormer needs a return. Then, I'd like to see two new heroes, or Breez/Surge, plus a new female. Also...Zig should be made into a set. Along with that floating guy.

OOC: I DID Block you??? Thatsweird.I don't remember that. Whatever, I'll unblock you. BTW, Stabbington is a ossim name.EDI: Either I forgot how to unblock or you were the one who blocked me.IC: ArgentumArgentum stopped. He fell onto the lily pad below him, his blades sheathed, his temporary armor removed. There was still a orbit of metal, probably magnetic residue. But he had stopped everything.Argentum: Why are we fighting?

His jets were ok, messed up his posing ability, but looked cool. However, I didn't like how he was shorter than the more regular stuff mo AKA and lew had in that year. Also, some of his armor, the ones using the metro Nui armor, looked very skinny. Also, his mask seemed a bit weird to me, and his weapon, a shield, didn't fit his personality like a sword.

Even worse for me- the bulk of posts is American afternoon and night, AKA when I'm sleeping and when I wake up. Hopefully when school goes back to it's regular schedules, I can post and actually react to this big thing.

Holy...wow...we made it!Best. Quote. Ever.Another nice choppy, and Vakama is bk.

OOC: I think you failed at this point, seeing as I had to bend reality by saying I didn't know you were there, since I had originally hurled you off, until you said you were still there.IC: ArgentumArgentum looked as a wooden arrow hit his leg and fell down. He smiled. His massive armor boost was working well. Anything hurled at him either bounced off, or stuck. Most of the things which stuck was metal, and it just turned into a new weapon. Now, he was a fearsome sight, with blades circling around him, his bulk much more powerful, and around him was a orbit of weapons. He could see matoran resisting the pull.Just then, he could see a massive pillar of earth throw his allies up. Casually, he caught them, and pulled them into the air, each of them aloft through magnetism.

IC: Cyrax+JLJL: Well, If I told you, you would be hunted by Makuta and his forces, all around the Island. Plus, if you tell the wrong thing to the wrong person...... you may well doom the island.

OOC: @Kalama, if a knife which apparently wasn't made of metal came sliding down me thanks to gravity, its not gonna create a hole, especially if I have armor. Instead, its going to do some scratches to my armor, perhaps make a small, fixable hole, tickle me, and make me lose slightconcentration. Plus, if you thought that I feel just because of that, no. Tanuka blasted me with water, leading to my mask falling. Thats what made me fall.But no, if you have armor, and this weapon is not affected by magnetism, it won't create a Big Gaping Hole. Thats what I feel.Also, for anyone who is thinking, if you see me you should be able to determine I AM THE ENEMY!!!! Because of what my mask looks like - Antroz Face-. Waiiiiit a minute, Kalama, didn't Macku vanish immediately after the first fight?.... Why is she here?Also, before this escalates, I suggest we all PM each other before there is a massive fight which is very uncontrollable.But of course, after the majority of the fun has passed.IC: ArgentumLooking at a bunch of arrows, he made their metallic tips fall straight to the ground, actually creating a big splash from these small objects, thanks to its massive gravity change.Just then, a few metal shuriken flew over. A metal wall formed to prevent them from hitting, but the moment there was a pinging sound, There was a big light, heat, and the metal wall crumpled, before finally breaking. Another wall formed, just in front of the fire.Again, focusing, he created a massive magnetic push, and anyone coming forwards to attack were flung away. He saw the lily pads sinking, and immediately, their gravity changed, and they were lifting into the air. He leapt forwards, his many blades coming with him, and he started to create a metallic weapon/metallic beings system; All of them floating in the air, moving around him. And, looking at the small hole in his armor thanks to the blade from that ignorant matoran, a piece of metal came flying.Argentum adjusted what it looked like until it fit perfectly, and then he moulded it. More and more armor was created, attaching itself, fitting perfectly to be a enhancement, and not block any of his movements. With that, he turned. He could feel bleeding, but it has already stopped from the metal. There was just a small, slightly painful hole.The Toa of Magnetism stood, with most of his allies, one of them he could feel in the magnetic flow, but couldn't see. Around him orbited weapons made of metal, Metal bits and pieces..... and metal beings. Except this time, it was much more stronger. He turned to the other Toa of Magnetism.Argentum: Add your power to the magnetic flow. Keep them around.

IC: Cyrax + JLBoth of them looked at Mevi. Then, Cyrax looked at JL, knowing he would have the better answer.JL: Things around the island are happening. Bad things have happened, and we're trying to find clues. It appears that there is a sort of network, and the chroniclers company is directly part of it....JL: Ask anymore and we'll have to kill you. But if the Turaga decides to tell you, that is fine by me. Its better to keep secrets secret.

No.TPBM has a computer.

Huh. Mesonak......So you framed someone for framing someone... what?My brain does not comprehend. Then again, when has it?'Oh..... gg Zaktan.

OOC: My arms and legs were binded, and marines guarded my mask. Well, marines were distracted by that guy walking very calming towards them, and also the massive army appearing.Hey, King of No Isles, for your, uh, army, is it like a really big one with LOTS of NPC Soldiers commanded by you, or is it a group of people very powerful? Also, you came in boats. Are your boats made of food, or made of metal? Or made of metal/protodermis (I guess its same thing)@Lord Drakon, I busted myself out, thank you very much. But helping me out in the next big fight would be pretty cool.IC: ArgentumArgentum watched as the marines picked themselves up from the big surprise. Not amused, Argentum decided that this time, he would unleash his full power. As his Spear's multiple blades came off, leaving only one, he suddenly held lots of blades, most of them hovering in mid-air.A small flick of his wrists, and the blades hurtled towards the marines, using their flat sides to slap them into the water. He turned, and looked at what seemed like a group of people trying to bust someone out. The blades then turned back, and twisted, cutting whatever was left of the binds that Argentum couldn't destroy.

OOC: @Lord DarkonWell, yes. Let the madness begin. Kuyre's army VS Makuta's Minions? Rahahaha! Also, while you kill the marines, they are guarding my masks. These marines, I think are NPC's; they are just "told" what to do by Kalama and Ta-Rakhshi, who RP's a player who is Nokama's "Son". Yeah.Please, retrieve my masks once you kill them. Then, lets all confront the Turaga. Also, @TKONI, Yes. A fight would be good.Just don't kill me thanks to timezone lag. That was how I got beaten at first - 5+ people firing things at me including Tucky, and me being on the other side of the world led to a KO.IC: ArgentumArgentum looked at the merciless eyes of the turaga. And he was bored. She had been staring at him for quite a while; and now, he seriously thought that perhaps he can break out. He started to control the magnetism, slowly, and suddenly, a piece of metal flew over to his hands. Delicately, he created words on it.I am not a willing follower. But I am still a follower. And as such... I must act like a follower.He left the small metal tablet on the table in front of Nokama.He turned his chair, and he could see someone walking over to the guards. Outside, he could see several people walking over to what looked like a group of do-gooders. How Argentum envied them, not being enslaved. Still, using his magnetism, he started to push himself.*WHUMP!*He and his chair barreled outside of the hut, to startle the group of marines. Creating a pulling motion (Whatever he could do while his hands were tied), his mask flew over and attached itself neatly to its face. Immediately, strength surged, and he used the customized Garai (Oh gee, Makuta mask looks nice.) to pull apart his chair. At once, he grabbed, and his spear, which he had dropped under the water, rose upwards into his arms.Argentum stood, battle ready, hoping for another good fight.

Remember the skirmish in Ga-Koro which happened about 2 days ago (Human time)?Well, Tucky, if you decide to make Nokama have a chat with a Makuta's minion, and then you don't talk, the minion is bound to get busted out.

IC: Cyrax + JLBoth Toa looked at the matoran, who stared at them as if she was thinking of them as childish cool dudes.Cyrax: Yes, we are, thank you very much. And, we need to have a little talk or something....?JL: Yes, we do. We need to talk to the turaga. There are things.... happening that we would rather speak to the turaga about. Please, lead the way. Also, after this, I have some associates who also have information. Perhaps they are talking with someone of importance; they are, after all, after the same thing we are.

OOC: @: Jl1223 X If you want, Armoan, Yoraz & Lucan could break you out. BTW, where are you? XD

You bust me out, I remain bad. IF you don't bust me out, I MIGHT turn good.So bust me out! I'm inside Nokama's hut, tied to a chair, Upside down. My mask is outside with a few matoran-marines guarding it.If Tucky as Nokama actually talks to me before anything big happens, then, maybe something interesting could happen. If he doesn't... bust me out and we have a bigger interesting thing.EDIT: @TDC/BioBeast, I think the Turaga is back in her hut now. In fact, she was actually just standing inside... until she got sucked out. Then she actually walked out. I think she would walk back. So yah. You might find me tied to a chair.----IC: ArgentumArgentum stared up at the Turaga, sitting inside her hut. The Toa of magnetism once again tried to squirm and push himself up and back into sitting position, but to no avail. Giving up, he looked up at her.Argentum: So..... do you want to talk? Or what?

OOC: Looking for Mevi. Yah.IC: JL+CyraxVirthee let both Toa out, and as they walked out feeling much better - and pushing each other madly to reach the door first while trying to look sensible - Cyrax told JL that this alliance would hold out only until Makuta was defeated. Still, she hoped that JL would come for the ride. It would be better with someone who had other information was there. They headed out, searching for Mevi, so they could have a little chat with the Turaga.
