Tar and feathers - i've got a reference. Well done!

>KJ: Whatever you do, DON'T BE FLUNG WITH TELEKENISIS.HAHAHA. YOU AREN'T BEING FLUNG -ohwaitholdonasecondhere...nooooooooooooooooooooooooThe Tahnok head is flung across the lava... hitting a control pad of nine buttons on the pump, which would ordinarily be an annoying puzzle...And the lava is pumped away.Aaaand now you can get across, to retrieve your Tahnokhead...and probably get some sort of AWESOME LOOT!Like, in that supplies trunk. Over there. Pfft, you just saved the lightstone mining, these guys owe you. You're deserve to take some stuff.Aquire epic lewtz?

KJ: Use AWESOMENESS to surf lava and save the poor miners!WHAT. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT. YOU DO NOT WANT TO RISK YOUR AWESOME TAHNOK HEAD. Or yourself, for that matter! Besides, the workers are all over here, so that's not the problem! The problem is that the pump to keep the lava out is on the other side, and it's broken!Leraku looks like he's using his telekenisis on something, but, you haven't noticed yet.Ponder more about what to do, or see what Leraku is going to do?

>LER: Wonder what the point of going to Onu-Koro was anyway. ONWARD TO SIDEQUESTS!Hm. You feel like you've gone over this before.Well, it's a cave. Caves mean there's stuff inside. Besides, it was really bright outside... *Coughblindingsunlightintoyoureyescough*Either ways, there's ADVENTURE down here!So, you guys are walking on, Joe doing his thing... Justax, well, deeply considering other uses for his keyblade, and you hangin' up there in front. Speaking of in front, there's a sign ahead of you, next to a doorway and a torch.The sign reads: LIGHTSTONE MINES OUT OF USE, LAVA FLOOD. EQUIPMENT IS STUCK ACROSS LAVA, MINING POSTPONED.Well, that doesn't look very good.(If i don't get any send-ins, i'll just have to find some time to sprite up a bunch of stuff myself.)

Whew!We're back. For now, i guess - since MAJHOST IS BEING MEAN.For now, i'll use what i can work with! Here you go.>LER: Salvage the head, shields, and whatever else you can find from the Tahnok.Hrmph. Too late. Joe's always one step ahead of you guys when it comes to potential AWESOMEness.Speaking of which, he is particularly AWESOME at replicating bohrok screeches.He even goes through with the ripply-shockwave thing that bohrok do when they hurt your ears with a particularly loud screech!TAHNOK HEAD was added to King Joe's HAMMERSPACE.So, now what? Onu-koro or SIDEQUESTS?

WARNINGThings are going to be going slow today/tomorrow, as tomorrow is my birthday. I may or may not get an update or two out.So, good luck with everything, i'll try to keep up where i can.

Just ninja'd Joe with my speed powers.Ahem: Sorry, what did you say? I was too busy dealing you a keyblade to the face!I don't care if that looked like an energy blast, that's still one point to my Ownage Meter.J-K out.

Technically, Bohrok are 'mechanical insects', meaning as 'machinery' they'd probably spark a bit if they were keyblade-stabbed through the torso. Look closely at your hand.

>KJ: Fight fire with fire.HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS ANOTHER REALLY BADLY THOUGHT OUT PLAN HAHAHAHA...Aw... Justax's stealin' all your thunder.Did you find anything after you defeated the bohrok?<< PAY ATTENTION TO THESE. THEY ARE IMPORTANT AND GIVE HINTS TOWARDS WHAT SORT OF THING MIGHT NEED TO HAPPEN NEXT.

EPIC BATTLE TIME.And what on earth was King Joe doing?

It was a reference to a famous CYOA.>All: Observe company statisticsYou observe your current settings.Leraku======Primary Weapon: ProtoswordItems: Protosword, 'Knife'Powers: Blast Scope, Matoran of Plasma powersMask: Matatu [Telekenisis, known to be accessible]Combat Typing: MeleéCombat Typing explenation: Meleé typing gives the user an excelling ability in all sorts of close-range, hand-to-hand combat skills and generalities. In turn, the user is completely unable to use any sort of ranged weapon. Only ranged capabilities are powers.Justax-Kal=========Primary Weapon: KeybladeItems: KeybladePowers: Energy Manipulation [Absorb, reverse, reflect]Mask: Kualsi [Quick-Travel, unknown if accessible]Combat Typing: SpeedCombat Typing Explenation: Speed typing gives the user excess speed in battle, allowing for incredible prowess in attacks on the ground and able to land easy strikes in the air. In turn, attack power is slightly reduced and energy prowess is not focused primarily on defense.King Joe========Primary Weapon: NoneItems: ???Powers: Fire, UnrealismMask: Haukakama [Fused hau-kakama, limited shielding and super-speed]Combat Typing: EnergyCombat Typing Explenation: Focuses attack prowess on energy, removes close-range prowess, but improves defenseThese are your current statistic settings. What attacks should be used on Tahnok?========Whew! Managed to get one more quick comic up before i take my leave for the night. G'bye.

>LER: Wonder why you entered the castle in the first place....Castle? That was Ta-Koro... And you have a very good reason. To delve into areas unknown, and to take a piece of adventure that usually, only Toa can sample. And for experiences......Like this.ENCOUNTERED TAHNOK!View matoran company statistics, or send someone out to attack before you even know what they can do?===========================Well, everyone, sorry for only getting three updates out today.I'll be honest - i was distracted. Plus, school got in the way. For awhile during the day, expect no comics - i should be back around 2-3 PM EST. I'll see if i can get one out in the morning. Either ways - please, keep the ACs coming! Don't forget to send one in if you haven't already! I'd rather not take the comic directly into my own hands, this is a CYOA after all.

>JK: Become extremely protective of the Keyblade.What? Why would you do that? It's safe and sound in your HAMMERSPACE, so, why should it be that big of a deal? Besides. You can teleport the keyblade to you when you need it anyways - one of the perks of wielding one of these things.As you enter the cave, the lineup doesn't surprise you. Leraku leading in, King Joe doing... well, whatever it is he's doing at this point, and you're just hanging back, waiting for something to happen. Besides, it's a good thing that mr. telekenesis-face is going in first, so he'll be the first one to run into anything dangerous. But, that can be good or bad - you're already itching for some more action.Should they encounter an enemy, or go on safely?

>JK: Use your awesome abilities to break out of Leraku's mask power.Well, you made it out... i guess he turned off his mask. Either ways, you're both down now....Hm, that sign says 'To ONU-KORO'. You probably ought to go in there.So, are you going to go down those stairs or what?

>KJ: Attempt to take cool Keyblade from Mysterious Person and infuse it with your awesomeness.Whoops. Guess you can't reach it, you're too busy being TELENEGOTIATED.JUSTAX-KAL has joined the Matoran Company!Action commands are now able to be submitted to him via '>JK:'[Re-cameo: JiMing]Into the cave up ahead?

>LER: Team up with mysterious person and beat the tar out of King JoeThat sounds like a good pla- No, nevermind. He already took the initiative.Hmm... you know, fighting in a volcanic area is actually pretty neat looking.Yeah, you think you're going to just let this play out-OW THAT LOOKS PAINFUL.OKAY, NEVERMIND. TIME TO INTERVENE.Maybe negotiate or something, might be able to grab another company member.Negotiate?

Okay... woah.[moment of awestruck silence]The smoke, the blur, the duel poses. All of it was fantastic. You've inspired me to but more effort into my series's graphics.That's my new catch phrase. "Sorry, what did you say? I was too busy dealing you a keyblade to the face!"Still, getting owned by Joe that easily is a disappointment.J-K out.

Hey, anyone would be surprised if you were suddenly dealt FIREBALLTOTHEFAIC in the middle of an epic clash.

>KJ: Thank mysterious person profusely for saving your life.Hm. Seem's he's a tad busy dealing a keyblade to the face.Wow... this is surprisingly awesome.HAHAHASILLY GUYS.STOP THAT.JOE IS CLEARLY THE ONLY AWESOME ONE HERE.Okay, uh... what now?

Hm.Why do i get the sense that this is partially, at least in some remote way, due to my CYOA?Oh well.I wish you luck on this!

Oh gosh. Seeing what you just did to King Joe, I regret asking to join. And it looks like it's too late to withdraw.At least I'm in the castle! I can't wait to see your explanation for that. Can't wait to see my intro, but I think entering commands for myself would be cheating. I'll let someone else do it.J-K out.

Don't worry about it. I'm not going to be killing anyone off - haven't you heard of a sword-whack? Heck, Leraku may be a tad on the irritated side, but, he's not going to just up and hurt someone like that. And also, feel free to add commands. In fact, KJ himself has been doing the last few commands, so, it's completely fine! In fact, feel free to quick-send me a command or two before i get going on the next comic.

Actual feedback time. =0The thing that stands out the most in these, especially the newest ones, are the effects you're putting in. They all look very good, and the shining/dark clouds set the mood well. I also like the effects you used for your mask power and eyebeam (that was awesome =P).As far as the plot goes, I think you've got just enough for it to be interesting and, with the newest ones, suspenseful.Nice work, Leraku.

Thanks a ton - i'm overwhelmed and appreciative of all of this incredible feedback, and how well this has been taking off!

I forgot you had a sword and a pointy thing.Thank goodness for people saving my life!

Save your life?See top quote.

>KJ: Throw Leraku down on the bridge in revenge.THIS WAS A VERY BADLY THOUGHT OUT PLANOh hey. Some guy is interrupting the re-revenge. Okay, calm down. This sword isn't energized anyways... you were only going to whack hi-What's that hurtling towards you?

LER: Toss King Joe across the bridge to see if there are any traps.What traps? It's only a bridge.Oh, and i guess KJ's awake now.And now?

>LER: Toss King Joe across moat to see if it is safe (and possibly use him as a raft).Thoughts of colleague-based testing come to mind, as he is not sure how he will cross the lava past the outer wal-Oh, look. There's a bridge.What now?

>KJ: Hatch incrediblely contrived and needlessly complicated plan for storming the castle with its lava moat....Thank goodness for mask powers...What will you do now?

Epic eyebeam is epic. Get owned Leraku's not-name.Man, you're updating this like crazy!J-K out.

Yeah, i plan on updating frequently till things even out, besides, this is fun.So, i can't give guarantees on how often i'll update, or how many panels per update.I'll simply add panels as i see fit.Expect an update soon, i'm getting to work on the next panel.

>KJ: Declare yourself as awesome.Knock it off, Leraku. You're not the awesome one.King Joe is the awesome one. And also...EDIT: Whoops, looks like the image here got all broken. Sorry, can't fix it right now.So is this guy.They both don't know what's going on, but... well, whatever works.[Cameo: JiMing]What will you do?

>OM: Be named OptiMealI, uh...HAHAHAHA NO, UMTHAT'S NOT YOUR NAMEYEAH HAHAHAUHYOUR NAME IS LERAKU...right?King Joe also does seem a little bit... surprised by this.Gained new Action Command abbreviation!*LER*
