Toatapio Nuva

OOC: Mataiti from Le-Wahi.IC (Mataiti, Kini-Nui):"You think he's gonna descend in there or something?" Mataiti whispered to Pirok, his idol.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):Alex showed no fear as Stronin created a sword and pointed it at him. "You ain't gonna achieve anything by killing me. Even if you could pull it out, it would only mean freeing an insane Henkka from the timestream. And in his condition, he can cause a lot more pain than I have done. And besides -"Alex used the magnetic energy that had recahrged so far to pull the sword out of Stronin's grasp. It flew gracefully to Alex, who grabbed the handle at pointed the sword at Stronin."- I'm a bit too skilled for you."IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"I was asking him the same question", Henkka said, convinced of his identity as a wizard. "Now if you don't release me, I will put a curse on you."

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):"Figures", Alex said. "Anyway, I hope you can get a grip of yourself, cause we're getting out of here. And whether you choose to interfere or not, I am going to take care of Henkka for good. Whatever happens, only one of us leaps out of this timeline."IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):"As I already told you, I do not remember", Henkka said, sounding bored."You foul wizard, none of your magic will work on me!""Wanna bet? At first I was insecure about it myself... but now I can only warn you before you'll have to suffer the wrath of Velho!""You're not Velho. I don't know who you are, but you're not him.""I'm warning you", Henkka suddenly said. "Your aims are useless. I do not have what you want."

OOC: Just the spear. Erken is not of the warrior type. But he must learn...IC (Erken, Kumu Islets):Erken didn't like barging into the forest without a plan. If it was a trap, as Sulkua had suggested, they would be in big trouble."You sure this is wise?" Erken asked. "I mean, what do we do if it's a trap?"

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Perhaps", Alex admitted. "Then again, a good leader knows how to distribute these duties to lesser beings. A good leader knows which servants he can trust with power and which ones are best to keep an eye on. It's all about the leader. You know, Makuta was a being who knew how to be a leader. That's why he took control of the whole universe in the end. Or I guess that happens in the future. Then again, me and Henkka have changed the future, so who knows?"While talking, Alex could feel his elemental energies slowly returning.IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"You are asking me the same question this guard asked", Henkka pointed out. "I do not feel you are qualified enough. But I guess you're the only one they've got. The reason is, I don't know. I feel it was an impulse of some sort. Perhaps the chemicals in my head shifted slightly for a moment, unlocking attributes of aggression I do not normally have. The mind is such a complicated thing, don't you agree?"

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):Alex smiled. "You're much wise than you sometimes seem to be", he said. "You're a petty thief because you choose to be, but you possess enough power and cunning to conquer areas of this island."IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"I'm not escaping", Henkka said. "Just get the psychologist."

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Henkka has killed many in his lifetime", Alex said. "The reality we came from is not black or white. Sometimes it's hard to tell heroes and villains apart. And sometimes you just can't."OOC: Alex actually spoke the truth, he just left some important details out. :PIC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"As much as I love challenges", Henkka began speaking seriously, "I'm afraid I am not qualified enough to make a diagnosis of my own mental condition. That is why I require outside influences. You can't make a madman realize he's a madman, now do you?"

OOC: No, he just has a nicer personality now.IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Right", Alex snorted. "Let me tell you a short story about being a friend of Henkka. It was a Matoran named Tapio, who was Henkka's best friend back while the me and him were still normal and living in one time, one body. They fought together and were so loyal to each other. One day, though, Henkka betrayed Tapio and the rest of them and even tried to kill his best friend. That's how good a friend he is."IC (Henkka, Ta-Koro prison):Henkka tried to say something, but found that Ril was speaking the truth. "I'm - I'm sorry... he said.""Defuse the LG6700""No, don't do it! The part GH650 is damaged! You'll blow us all up!""Geez... you're correct? How did you know? You saved us!""I'm a scientist", Henkka said. "I do not deal with minds. It's up to you to provide me with psychological assistance in order to find out why I did what I did."

IC (Erken, Kumu Islets, another inn):Erken followed, thinking about the issue in his head. He was a Skakdi, why was he feeling uncomfortable about being at the Black Spot Inn? Then again, I always wanted to be a Matoran... he thought.

IC (Mataiti, Le-Wahi): "I'm going with Pirok, whatever he'll do", Mataiti said, stepping next to the Toa of Fire.

IC (Kaunis, Ga-Koro bar): Kaunis gave Jolek a funny look before smiling. Then she chuckled. "What will you be doing later on?" she asked.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro prison):"Stupid", Alex said. "Whatever happens, Henkka won't be able to do any good, you know. He's insane, in case you didn't figure that out."IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro prison):"I - I don't know", Henkka said, desperacy fueling his voice. "I just had this sudden urge, but I don't know why I really... I don't..."

IC (Mataiti, Le-Wahi):Mataiti leapt out of Naru's plasma-beam's way.

IC (Kaunis, Ga-Koro bar):"Relax, I'm not gonna do anything you don't want me to", Kaunis said, waving her hand. "Just here to check out the view, if you know what I mean. Hey waiter!"The waiter came to the table Kaunis, Jolek and Cyrunei were in."I'd like some... let's say... Madu Coktail", Kaunis said. The waiter left to fulfill the order."So, you travel the island then, eh? Got any news from the south?" Kaunis asked Cyrunei.

Here's something that's really been bothering me.Why, in 2001, when the Toa Mata united their elemental powers to defeat Makuta, didn't it create a Toa seal?I don't know if there's already an explanation for this. Personally, I can't think of one. Six different elements hit Makuta at once, so it should've created a Toa seal. Instead it just weakened Makuta.

OOC: I guess it's up to you to decide whether you want to make characters out of the Makuta worshippers or just keep them as NPC's.IC (Erken, Black Spot Inn):Erken shrugged. "I'm still not sure what we're even after. I mean, we could probably ask them, but what do we want to know? How much do you know about this group, anyway?"

IC (Erken, Kumu Islets, Black Spot Inn):"What are we doing here?" Erken asked Sulkua nervously.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):"By the way, Stronin", Alex said as Naona started to drag them back to Ta-Koro. "I will not stop doing these evil assignments if I kill you. Then I'd just move on forever. Killing Henkka is the best for both worlds. We would never see each other again. And now that he's a vegetable, it wouldn't be so hard to kill him. Think about it.IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):Meanwhile Henkka was also taken to the Ta-Koro prison. "Hey, I'm sorry, I don't know what came to me", Henkka tried to explain, to no avail. He was dragged to the building where an officer wrote down the crimes and the day of the trial.

OOC: It's alright, as long as you don't make it a habit.IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):Alex hit the ground."Ouch! Are you just gonna stand this kind of behavior from him?!" Alex spat at Naona. "He's your enemy and you're just letting him beat up your prisoners!"

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):"I am not going to fight you, Stronin", Alex said harshly. "If you had some more sense in your little head, you would see why. Thanks to you splintering my mask..."

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):"Indeed", Alex said darkly. "Me and Henkka. Evil and good. Whenever I do some specific evil deed, I move on to the next world, the next body. Same with Henkka, only he has to do good deeds."Alex turned at Stronin. "And if Henkka spoke the truth earlier, I'm here to kill you. But it doesn't have to go to that. If we join together and kill Henkka, I will stop leaping around in time making everyone miserable. I'll return to my home realm and you will remain intact."

IC (Alex, in Syyge'd body, Ta-Koro):Alex felt furious. Why, oh why didn't his most used tool work now? It was time to try something different - the truth."If I do something evil, I get out of here", he said. "I'm doing this for myself. Not anyone else."IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):Turaga Vakama reached Henkka using his Kanohi Huna and then attacked him with his staff. Henkka paid no attention."What is it, son? You alright?""I guess so... I feel great... (if only it were my own body)""Good. Don't forget to feed the Pokawi. Your dad and I have to tend to the Husi... they seem to be sick.""Okay... mom."Henkka suddenly stopped short and dropped the dead Matoran. Immediately, the Ta-Koro guard swarmed over him and cuffed him with several cuffs and pinned him to the ground. "What are you doing?!" he shouted.

IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):"That is a blatant lie!" Alex snapped. "I was trying to make him stop. I didn't want to kill the Matoran but Stronin insisted otherwise. He made those iron swords on the ground over there, see? I tried to save the Matoran, but... well... I lost my grip of him..."Meanwhile in the village, the Ta-Koro guards were having a hard time containing Henkka. To their eyes, it looked like the Toa if Air named Voi had suddenly began eating Matoran alive... well, that was almost the case. Expect that the body was actually inhabiting the mind of Henkka, who was going through the personalities of those he had been before. Now he was going through the personality of an insane killer. If Henkka had remembered his time travels, he would've remembered possessing this maniac in order to stop him from devouring an innocent Ga-Matoran who he had taken hostage.Turaga Vakama burst out of his hut. "What is going on? Stop him! Stop him at once!" he shouted, running towards the scene. Vakama would not simpy watch as his villagers were in danger.The guards had hit Henkka with their spears and thrown discs at him. The problem was not that Henkka wouldn't have received any damage - no, he was barely living. The problem was the insatiable hunger of the being whose personality had taken control of Henkka. Henkka cared of nothing but his meal. The Matoran in his hands had already died from his injuries, but Henkka hardly noticed.If Henkka would ever return back to normal , he would certainly never forgive himself for what he had done.

OOC: Wait a minute, WHO was trapped in that ice cage then?

OOC: Alex did not use any powers of Syyge. Syyge's elemental powers are exhausted and he doesn't have a mask. That's why Alex simply threw himself out and ran. As for Naona, I believe Alex already entered the tunnel. I forgot to put the Alex to Onu-Koro, though.IC (Henkka, in Voi's body, Ta-Koro):Henkka snarled as he saw Stronin run away. Henkka was about to chase when he suddenly saw the Ta-Koro guard gathering around the hut.It didn't matter to Henkka who would die. He leaped off the building and crashed into the ranks of the guards. Then he took one of them and sunk his teeth into him. The guard was attacking and bruising him, but Henkka payed no attention. He was enjoying his meal.IC (Alex, in Syyge's body, Ta-Koro):As Alex was entering the tunnel, Naona suddenly appeared in front of him. This is not good, he thought. He thought about his options. Turning around and making a run for it was a very bad idea, for multiple reasons. One was that Syyge's body was completely powerless now, and without his mask, Alex could not outrun Naona. The second was Stronin pursuing him.I have one option, but I really hate it, Alex thought. He stopped right in front of Naona and lifted his hands up. He would be imprisoned, sure, but at least he would be left alive and protected from Stronin. "Okay, I surrender", Alex said. This time he wasn't even considering rebelling. This was visible on his face as well.And in the background, the screams of Matoran chilled everyone who could hear Henkka trying to devour a Ta-Matoran...OOC: Insane. O_O
