IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):"Alex? A friend of yours? Are you out of your mind?" Henkka exclaimed in disbelief. Then Stronin activated his Blade Works power and swords grew out of the earth.Alex had faced this attack before, but payed no attention to it. He used the distraction to jump at Henkka and punch him in the face. Henkka fell to the ground.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):Henkka summoned a powerful wind to blow all combatants out of Soli's house. "There ya go!" he exclaimed.Alex was already getting up. "Fools!" he yelled at Tradoris and Stronin. "You think this is some petty quarrel, but you can't even imagine the forces involved!"

IC (Erken, Onu-Koro):Unable to sleep, Erken went outside and walked around the village, deep in thought.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):"You don't understand", Henkka said. "Time is not to us what it is to you. We do not experience it, we are a part of it. We change it, we mold it."Then he paused. He thought about Stronin's question. If either one of Alex and Henkka returned home... what would "home" be like? They had changed the future by affecting the past.Alex wasted no time on thinking such matters. He leaped over the iron wall and landed a kick on Henkka. "Whatever home is like, it's better than being doomed to an eternal journey between different times", he growled.

IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):"It's worth a shot", Alex said."I need to get home to save it", Henkka answered Stronin's next question. "It's a place where the Makuta has banished the Great Spirit forever and rules with darkness and pain.""Not all of it", Alex corrected. "Outside the Matoran Universe is an entire world the Makuta has promised to let me control.""Yeah, well, you see our motives now", Henkka concluded, before increasing the air pressure around Alex.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):"What do you mean 'you two'?!" Henkka snapped. "I need to kill Alex or he'll continue bringing pain to billions! In case you haven't noticed, he's evil!""And whatever I do, he undoes it. Whatever he does, I undo it", Alex explained. "It leads nowhere. As long as we both live, neither of us can return home."Alex grabbed a sword from behind the counter and leaped over to strike Henkka. Henkka couldn't dodge because of the magnetism in his feet, but instead summoned a powerful wind to blow Alex back.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):"Stay out of this, steelbrick", Alex snapped at Stronin. "There is no solution other than the death of one or another.""He is right", Henkka said. "This reality can't take two time travelers."Alex concentrated and magnetized Henkka to the floor. Hekka responded with a blast of tight air that spent Alex spiraling behind the counter, where Soli was.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):"He needs to be stopped now", Henkka simply answered. He turned around and saw Alex looking furiously at his hand, where once had been a sword."No one will protect you", Alex said darkly and drew Henkka's staff from him and into his hand with magnetism. "I don't believe this one is made of metal, right?" Alex said. And it was the truth, Voi's staff was not made from metal but from wood.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):"Stronin!" Henkka shouted in delight.Typical, Alex thought. He would kill Henkka, no matter what happened to himself in the process. Sword in his hand, Alex leaped at Henkka from behind, ready to land an effective, lethal blow on his worst enemy.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro, Soli's store):Alex whirled around but saw the scimitar too late. Alex's reflexes were enough to make sure the damage done was not lethal, but it was damage nonetheless. Alex leaped out of the way, crying in pain. His weist had received a cut."I have no idea who you are, but you should beware", Alex said to Fyriin. "If you think you can attack me from the behind, you're wrong."Alex's elemental energies had recharged enough for him to magnetize Fyriin to the wall. Then he took out his old sword and walked towards Fyriin."Don't worry, this won't take long", Alex said to Soli. "Just make me that sword."Then, Henkka barged in, staff at the ready. "It's over, Alex!" he shouted. Immediately, Alex realized this was not the Henkka who had left Ta-Koro."What happened to your multiple personalities?" Alex asked. Henkka smiled."You know the herb called Maukas? Well, take a guess."Alex knew what had happened. Henkka had been cured and he'd hired people to kill him.'"I'm impressed", Alex said. "You've touched your dirty side to take on me.""I do what I have to do to stop you from ruining reality for all time", Henkka said."So be it, then", Alex said. "Take me on. I might at least go down fighting."

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):Alex decided to choose a ready sword, for he was in a hurry. He could not let Henkka escape forever. Alex looked through the ready swords and found one which was pretty much what he had requested for."I would like this one", Alex told Soli, giving him the blade he had chosen. "And if you have a hilt close to what I wanted, I'll take that."IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):Henkka looked around Ta-Koro for Alex. It was possible the evil time traveler wasn't here, but then again, he might just be waiting for ambush.Suddenly, while walking near a swordsmith store, Henkka saw Alex inside the store. He had a different mask now, but that was expected anyway."He's there", Henkka told Fyriin, Traxn, Tradoris and Varrau. "We'll strike now."

IC (Erken, Onu-Koro):"Now there's a happy plan", Erken puffed. "I think it would be wise to have plan and a specific target before we start to destroy."

IC (Erken, Onu-Koro):"How?" Erken asked.

IC (Kaunis, Ga-Koro, Feldnok's hut):Kaunis rolled her eyes as guest after guest left the hut in a hurry. Why were the heroes always so busy and quick to run away at even the tiniest disturbance. Kaunis decided not to care. Actually she really didn't. She stood in the hut and continued eating. If they won't eat, at least I will, Kaunis told himself and took a bite of a Bula berry.

OOC: Mataiti from Kini-NuiIC (Mataiti, Le-Wahi):Once again in Le-Wahi, Mataiti followed Pirok.

IC (Mataiti, Kini-Nui):Seeing the others depart suddenly, Mataiti ran after them.OOC: Mataiti to Le-Wahi.

OOC: Erken from Le-Wahi):IC (Erken, Onu-Koro):Returning to Onu-Koro brought back bad memories for Erken. It was here that a killer had gone on a rampage and about a dozen beings chasing him. Erken had been among them, but had been injured by falling rock. After that Erken had gone into hiding for a while before going to Ko-Koro."So, our next move?" Erken inquired.

IC (Kaunis, Ga-Koro, Feldnok's hut):Kaunis was impressed by the big hut Feldnok called home. At the same time, she wondered who this Hau guy was and why he had just popped in. The smell of food floating from the kitchen made Kaunis drool. It had been a long time since she'd had a meal like the one she was getting now.

IC (Mataiti, Kini-Nui):Mataiti was all baffled by the talk about bells. He looked at his companions, trying to comprehend what he's just heard.

OOC: Henkka, Tradoris, Fyriin, Traxin and Varrau from Le-WahiIC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):As Henkka and his new allies arrived in the village of fire, he immediately started looking around for his enemy. All around the village, there were still signs of their previous battle. Of Stronin, however, there was no sign. Where could he have gone? Was he with Alex?"He could be here", Henkka said, referring to Alex. "Be wary. He's powerful."OOC: I'm not sure what Fyriin is capable of, but if he can somehow sense prey, you should be made aware that Alex is in Ta-Koro, in a swordsmith's store.

IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Le-Wahi):Henkka thought about the situation. Should they start looking for Alex now? He might already be after Henkka. At some point they would meet anyway, no matter what."Now", Henkka answered Fyriin's question. It was not wise to keep them waiting. "We go to Ta-Koro, where I last saw him."OOC: Henkka, Fyriin, Tradorik, Traxin and Zarrau (if you please) to Ta-Wahi.IC (Erken, Le-Wahi):Erken turned at Jagorik, who was wondering what they were doing. "We're resting", Erken said. "It's important to relax for a moment before be barge into danger. I guess we're going to enter the tunnels soon enouh."

I once left my Lehvak outside for 10 seconds while I went inside to get my camera. When I returned, it was nowhere to be seen. It hadn't fallen anywhere, so it must've been stolen. The weird thing is, there was no one inside and I should've seen anyone who had been there ten seconds ago...I also mysteriously got a third Kopaka Nuva sword piece. No idea where that came from.

IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Le-Wahi):"The last I saw him, he was in Ta-Koro", Henkka replied. "I'm not sure where he's now, but one thing is certain. He will be here. He's looking for me and won't stop until he's found me."

IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Le-Wahi):"His name is Syyge", Henkka said. "He's a Toa of Magnetism. He has come to this island for the sole purpose of causing chaos and disturbing balance. I've been hunting him, but he's very strong. He needs to be stopped."Henkka felt a little bad for using Fyrii's unstable mental condition to achieve his goals. Then again, he had learned that sometimes playing dirty was the only way to win. And Alex had to be stopped, before he escaped from this timeline and harmed millions of innocents all over timestream.IC (Erken, Le-Wahi):Erken saw the Nui-Rama fly towards him with outrageous speed. It was too late to do anything but try and survive the assault. Erken raised his new shield for protection. The Nui-Rama grabbed the shield and went into the air, dropping the shield somewhere. Then it flew towards Erken again. This time, though, Erken was ready. Just as the Nui-Rama was about to grab him, he lashed with his talons and managed to knock a mask off the beast. The giant fly, distracted, flew straight into a tree, losing its other mask as well.

OOC: Sure, Elemental Ussal, feel free to join.IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Le-Wahi):Henkka saw Tradoris enter the scene and Fyriin looking at him with an insane look on her face. "Stay back", Henkka advised Tradoris. "This one is dangerous and unpredictable."Then Henkka turned to Fyriin again. "You say you want to kill to bring balance... I know a perfect target for just that purpose. He certainly disrupts the balance of this world. You could kill him."
