Onaku

I use a strange device that transports the mask from your hand to mine. How ever, the transportation fails, destroying the mask, killing us all instantly. How ever, due to a completely random plot device, the universe implodes, then rematerializes again, this time in a way that I have the mask, successfully in my hands. By the way, you have a 1 ton weight above you.MY MASK!!!!!

IC: The ShadeThe white-clad being entered the inn, almost walking past Agni... "Ah, just the toa I was looking for." Dackelus looked at the being in front of him. "...Say, is there something bothering you?" He said, acting as if he was completely unaware of their fellow toa's death. In that moment, the bulky toa of iron entered the inn. "Agni, Dackelus." He aknowlegded, as he kept on walking towards the stairs. The tablet was clearly visible in his hand.OOC: Vezok, could Agni perhaps know something about this tablet? He IS working in the Ta-Koro defense force, he aught to have seen this before, if I am not entirely mistaken...IC: Ardoku"Wait a minute" Ardoku says, as he rushes up onto his feet. "What sort of ink was used into this?" That's it, the ink was causing him personal problems, It had to be some allergies... or perhaps... that fruit from before did taste quite peculiar, perhaps... That's it, the combination of the fruit and the ink were clearly the cause. "My friends, I have just come to a ridiculously, out-of-the-air conclusion about why I faint when I touch the map..."OOC: Comic relief should explain it self, and I believe this is in no way GM, as I am not really gaining anything from this conclusion...

IC: Ardoku"Erm.... I think so... wait, how did we evade of the sandstorm?" Ardoku looks at the map... He was about to check it out when he suddenly fainted... Strange, excactly at that moment. Probably a coincidence... I mean, the map couldn't possibly be cursed or anything, could it? Nah, definitely a coincidence.

IC: ArdokuThe Toa of Plasma opens his eyes. "Ugggh...." Ardoku looks around, slowly coming to himself. "Say... are we there yet?"The Toa stands up, shaking off some sand. "What in the name of Mata-Nui happened?"

OOC: Nope, no way to wake him up that way Either you drag him along, leave him here (And thus be soulless bast's) or wait here untill he wakes up.By the way, Vezok, you forgot Tirokks question, about the tablet...IC: Dackelus (The Shade)Murder? This day just gets better and better. Dackelus walks up the stairs, asking; "What the karzahni was that?" Oh, they'll have more to worry about soon, Volin ain't the only one dead. Hehehe... "Did something happen to Volin?"OOC: Remember The Shade's killing spree? Well, you'll soon have to write the discovery of the bodies into you're posts.

Well, I guess... But I think it's fine as it is... And believe me, soon there will be ALOT more than there is now...

WOW!!! I'll have to agree with Kv195 up there, it's clear as crystal how mutch you're drawing skill has improved. I especially liked Gali, skill clearly shows there. Keep on drawing, and on, and on, and on. If anything, I'd like to see some recent drawings by you, and I mean REALLY recent. As in yesterday or so... or today even. You are on the right track. Keep on drawing.

Or better yet, I finish this comic, post it as episode 1, and then the second one will be episode 2...

IC: Ardoku"Wait, let me see tha..." Ardoku had reached out to take the map and check it out, but as he took it, he suddenly fainted. Now he was laying on the ground, unconscious.OOC: Hehe, don't worry, it's just the combination of the immense sun and the bad fruit (at breakfast, the fruit Ardoku got was beginning to rot). He'll be fine.

IC: OnakuThe plasma would have killed him, If he weren't (You guessed it) frozen to the core. The ice in Onakus body neutralized mutch of the plasma, but that would leave a mark. "There is no need for violence, but if you insist, I will fight you with all my strength. Now, tell me, what is that which jusifies your aggressive actions?" Onaku spoke at an calm, even pace, as if Helios was of no threat. Onaku of course knew better, he knew never to underestimate the enemy, but still...

IC: Ardoku"I don't like the desert... Cough, cough... aggh, to karzahni with this sand..." In those spoken words, a big stretch of sand blew right into his face. For a few seconds, he is as frozen, then says; "I think the feeling might be mutual..." ------------------------------IC: Tirokk"AGNI!!!" Tirokk yells, as he arrives through the entrance of the inn. He notices Agni standing by Valaria's door, and the next moment streaks up to him. "Do you have any idea what this is?" He sais hastily, handing Agni the stone tablet with the letters 'NEX'."This tablet dropped from Volin's pocket, it was definately not in his posession before. I think it could be linked with who ever murdered him..."

IC: OnakuThe Toa of Earth looked at his Muaka companion, signaling it to stay back (Due to the shock of suddenly being free from Makuta's infection, the Muaka is going to need some time to rest before it can fight again). He then raises his hand, causing a strong huge wall of earth to form between Fleya and Helios. "I cannot allow you to do this, atleast not until I have a perfectly legitimate reason for it..." Onaku, his strong sense of honor and justice, could not see someone potentially innocent get harmed... There must always be a just reason.

IC: Tirokk"Thank you." In that moment, Volin's last breath exhausted, his eyes focused on nothing and a smile stayed streched into place. Volin was dead. "Good bye, Volin..." He said in a sad tone... Suddenly, a stone tablet drops from Volin's pocket, marked 'NEX'. "What is this?"

IC: Onaku"I... aaaammm.... Tttto... a Ona... kkkuu..." His frozen insides made it ever so hard to talk... But she'd realize what he said. He put out his hand, slowly, not because of caution, but because of (You guessed it) him being throughoutly frozen to the core. The moment his hand tauched her's (Beacause of her supposed electric field), He got a pulse of electricity throughout himself... But the current was neutralized by sheer cold within him. "That was... unpleasant... wait a minute..." Although having almost no other effect, his vocalcords seemed to be clear of the frost. "Hmmm... That's much better. Well then, I am Toa Onaku, and I beleave it IS a pleasure to meet you." A small, friendly smile appeared on his face.

OOC: Really intense moment... :'(IC: TirokkTirokk looked Volin in the eyes... Many thougths raced through his mind. This being had been through a lot, and now, in his last moments, he would have to rely on the help of a stranger, a man he never had the chance to know, to deliver his final words to his siblings.Finally, he looked back to him, and said with a gentle tone, yet with great sorrow behind it, "...I promise" These would probably be the last words he would say to him... A tear, a one, lone tear, crept down the face of Toa's mask.

OOC: Disregard my last comment...IC: OnakuThe Toa of Earth slowly looked down as Flaya slid towards him, then came to a full stop right by his side. "Arrrr... e yyy... ouu... alll.... ll riiii... ggghtttt...?"* Onaku, (As frozen to the core a she is) slowly kneels down beside Flaya. OOC: Due to Onaku being frozen to the core, he is sevearly nerfed in all aspects, including the pace a which he speaks.*"Are you alright?"

IC: Tirokk"I did all I could..." Tirokk felt great pain in his heartlight, another friend, taken away just like that. He hadn't felt like this for almost a century. "I just wish I could have done more for you. I barely knew you, yet..." This couldn't just end like this... he had to do more... "Is there anything, ANYTHING I can do?" OOC: Cue for journal delivery request

IC: Tirokk"I can't give up on you without trying!" Tirokk picks the limp body of Volin up, charges outside, and goes at thuder-speed (due to his Kakama) to the medical centre... With each passing moment, Volin's life drew to a painful end... OOC: If you don't want me to do this, I'll simply rewrite this comment...

IC: Tirokk"What in the name of... Volin!!!" Tirokk, just finishing a bit of his ale, notices Volin crash through the door of the inn. "What happened?" He looks at Volin for possible signs of... bingo! There was a wound on his chest. "I've seen this before." He looks closer at the wound "This must be what's causing it... poison! We have to get him to a hospital. NOW!!!" OOC: Permisson for Tirokk to pick Volin up with all his strenght, and run as fast as he can, (Using his Kakama) To get him to the hospital?

IC: OnakuOh no! What was it? His eyesight was getting blurred and dark, his bodysystem was giving up... "Hhhhavv... e to... g... et... ffff... urth... eeer... HEEEELLLLPPP... MEEEEEeeeeee...." And in that moment, he fell down to the ground. As a natural instinct, the Muaka sat down beside him, cuddled up to him, trying to keep him warm.OOC: Altough Onaku is weak, his shout for help would easily be heard through out the village, even a bit outside of it...

The comic has been updated, giving a bit clearer picture of where I'm going with this... I hope...

IC: ArdokuThe rumbling had prepared the Toa. As the Sand Tarakava bursted from the ground, Ardoku threw a bolt of plasma directly at the beast. The beast was quick, it dodged the attack and went straigt on for the attacker. "Look out!" He yelled, as he flung him self out of the way. The Tarakava hit the ground, but then rose up again, only to get hit by one of Ardoku's Twin Pickaxes, right in the face...

IC: OnakuAt last, after a long travel, Onaku and the Muaka arrived at Ko-Koro. The frozen body that was Onaku slowly but steadily helped his new-found Rahi companion into the village...OOC: Onaku is free for interaction.

Last Night...IC: Dackelus (The Shade)"Hehe... yeah, you're right." He went into his room, and as soon as he had locked it, he turned his gauntlet off. "Oh, those gullible fools. They will soon regret ever having crossed paths with me." And then, The Shade sat down on his bed, patiently waiting until sunrise...Next Morning...IC: TirokkThe Toa of Iron opened his eyes. He was done, his armor was completely refitted, all gaps in the armor were now replaced with the finest chain-mail, other parts of the plate-mail were also replaced with chain-mail, mostly to allow for more movability. He rose up onto his feet, the last night having been spent into all but comfort, his back now ached... but it most certainly was worth it. He opened his door-IC: Dackelus (The Shade)The Shade rose up onto its feet, put its gauntlet on, and then went out of his room in the disguise of Toa Dackelus. He noted Mef and a Matoran talking together. "Morning Mef, just going down to have some breakfast..." He strode down the stairs, and joined Volin in a meal. "Morning..." He muttered to his 'friend'.

IC: Ardoku"Mission? Mission is actually quite a strong word. My TASK is to escort this gentleman..." Ardoku points at Kranuka. "...Safely to Po-Koro. You how ever simply joined in, and I guess that means you are also escorting him." The Toa looked around. "Well, on to Po-Koro..."--------------------------------------------------------- IC: Dackelus (The Shade)After Valaria left for her room, the white-clad Toa walked up the stairs, greeting Agni... "Hello again, going to bed?" He waited a bit in front of his door, waiting for an answer...
