Hanako Herupa

IC: (Sakuya) Sakuya had finally reached the medical center, opening the door and walking inside, she saw Ashley and the woman from earlier, Christine, she believed. Slowly walking up she spoke up. "Hello, I'm Sakuya Harada, I came to see how Ashley was doing." She could Ashley forcing her face into pillow, trying to shut out the world and all that had happened, and she felt terrible, she felt sympathy for Ashley. As far she knew, the girl had been one of the most bubbly and friendly girls around the school, adorable as well, but now she looked so broken. "I went by Dallas' room, I didn't get to talk to him, but he was with one of his friends," She figured that might help a little, knowing where Dallas was, and knowing that he wasn't alone. She wasn't able to make out most of the words, and Sakuya never liked eavesdropping anyways, always found it in such poor taste, but from what she did discern outside that door, was they were friendly enough.

IC: (Hanako) "Well even with the might they have roused, bringing them to justice is our responsibility, not only for what they did to our people and our homeland, but also for what they have done Mata Nui. You have our cooperation Toa Leah," I replied to Leah in earnest. Now that I and the others had a firmer grasp of how the Chaotic Six had entrenched themselves on the island it would help both our neighbors and ourselves to bring the Piraka to heel and punish them for their evil-doing. To be honest I wasn't one for combat, I was trained for combat, as all Herupa are, but I myself had never been in fights or combats, the likes of which Ayiwah and her crew have dealt with, even in peace time. That wasn't to say for lacking of trying in training, and I wasn't afraid of them, but dealing with them now, had suddenly become a lot more daunting.

IC: (Sakuya) Sakuya looked at the hallway, looked at the mess, only a few minutes before a fight took place here. And Sakuya accomplished nothing, if anything she had exacerbated some of the problems. Despite her hopes of trying to do the right thing. I was stupid for thinking I could have done anything to help. Now Dallas had slipped away, Nicole had been carried off by Doctor Thomas and one of the visitors to the school, and Ashley and quite a bit of others were in the Medical Center. And she was standing there, wondering which director she was supposed to walk. Would it help if she went to the Medical Center, check on Ashley, make sure Dallas knew she was okay. Following Doctor Thomas, Nicole, and their visitor would the stupidest decision, so that was out. It would only make more of a scene, more trouble and that was the last thing anyone needed this day. Maybe check in on Dallas, he was still recovering from the rush of emotions in all likelihood, among the fact he was still dealing with that awful crime that had been committed against him. She resolved to check in on him at least first. She walked to his dorm room, but hung outside his room, unsure of whether she was supposed to knock. She could hear some voices, his and someone else's. She was frozen there, her hand about to knock but apprehension filled her. Perhaps he was with friends, perhaps another person would make it an issue, considering how all that emotion took its toll on the empath. There was one thing she was aware of, this sense of apprehension wouldn't help Dallas. So she backed off, walked to check on Ashley at the Medical Center. She should have went there first anyway. Stupid, stupid.

IC: (Kino) "A Komau...those kind of masks are so few and far between, they're certifiable rarities and for good reason. A mask of mind control in the hands of Echelon would make a mission all the more difficult. What else can you tell us about their force, recognizable features of Echelon's group. I'll see if I can go pull up some records based on the descriptions I've gotten so far, but we'll need a little more info before I can do that," I chimed in.

IC: (Thok) As interesting as it was to see Vakbot explore its new world, it seemed as though Avak had a customer while I had my own. I walked back over to see how they were doing. Coming up to the two patrons, the only ones currently in my establishment, I pulled out a notepad. I was going to have to start hiring help, but right now it wasn't crazy enough. Besides the Piraka are cheap labor, and by cheap I mean free. I paid them in compliments, figured it was the least I could do for such diligent, dependable workers. "Hello, now what can I do for you two?" Menus were already at the table for them to look at.

IC: (Sakuya) "Coach then, we still need someone to play Nick." Sakuya said, though she didn't get much as claim as the other two it didn't matter. It would be nice to play it with friends, they'd turn it into a little party.

IC: (Sakuya) "So left 4 Dead 2 then? It would be nice to have group to play that consistently with," She smiled.

IC: (Sakuya) "Alright, we'll order some pizza then, I got it for my PC, didn't think much of it, but have played it either." Sakuya smirked. "We'll get a whole bunch of junk food," Sakuya sat back at the side of Dallas. "Just relax, play video games, watch Netflix. Would be nice." She sat beside Dallas, "When this cools down, I'll walk you back to room and go get the food." She chuckled, and kept her hand on Dallas.

IC: (Sakuya) "Nope, you haven't, Dallas." She moved to hug him gently of course, but it was clear he was less in shock now, and considering how high the emotions just ran. He needed something to lean on. "You're clever, smart, and most of all, a very nice guy. I'll get you that cinnamon bun or two tonight, alright?"

IC: (Sakuya) "Right, just keeping talk to him. Keep him relaxed." Sakuya replied, she didn't question it, not right after Dallas told her about Morri, and now that Morrison was speaking. His hoodie could act as blanket, but she could easily bring him a proper one she was very fast. She walked away, and then quickly took off her. One of her powers, allowed her to quickly zip across the rooms, and found a blanket to cover Dallas with. She returned almost as is she just left. She unrolled the blanket and helped lay it across Dallas. "Hey there Dallas. Brought you something comfortable." "Yes ma'am." Sakuya replied. She'd rather not leave Dallas yet, but Miss Pryde need to sort this entire mess out, it was better not to be difficult.

IC: (Sakuya) "Well it was kinda of crazy you see there is that wolf-bat thing, which I think was howling, Dallas and I came out to see what was up, and apparently Ashley was out here. Dallas told us why Nicole made him uncomfortable, she forced himself on him, apparently with whatever power she once had. She violated him, and Ashley freaked out when she heard this. Understandable of course, but I think she would have killed Nicole if Mr. Belikov didn't stop her, I tried to talk her down. Now Dallas is going into shock, Miss Pride." Sakuya replied, before turning her attention back to Dallas. "I'll get you a whole thing of them, a pizza, and your favorite pop, tons of junk food and Italian if you're up to it." She said, trying to keep Dallas from slipping further into shock. "I'll bring my PS3, we can play some games if you're up to it later." She need to keep him calm and awake.

IC: (Sakuya) Sakuya walked over to the slumping Dallas and sat down beside him. He was conscious, but he didn't look like he wasn't feeling so well. After the rush of rage and other emotions another less harsh feeling coursed through her. She wanted to help. "Hey. Everything is going to be alright, Miss Pryde will be here soon. I'm here, you have friends here." She didn't know what else to say, but she put her hand on his. "I'll be here for you, your friends are here for you." "Uh sir, do you think you could also call the counselor." She said to Aleks as she kept her post beside Dallas Green, today went to ###### in a handbasket.

IC: (Sakuya) "Ashley! You are not a killer! I know you don't know me too well, I know you're thinking why the you should listen to me. After what's she did to Dallas, but you can't kill her. She isn't worth it, you don't need her blood on your hands. It might seem like she should be killed, but you can't do it. She needs to be imprisoned, her blood doesn't have to be on your hands. She'll be locked up, she won't be a threat to anyone anymore. You are not a killer. Trust me with my power I want to hurt her, I want to make sure she can't hurt anyone again, that she won't hurt Dallas again, but she is not worth killing. You don't have to go through with this."

IC: (Sakuya Harada) Sakuya had left the class roughly around the same time as Dallas, only to be caught up in a flurry, not the least of which was a reveal that chilled her blood, and lit up a rage inside of her. What kind of sick person did that, no ******** wonder he felt uncomfortable around her and now she slapped another wolf-person, she couldn't be expected to keep track of all the strange things at this school. "Come on Dallas, we need to get you of here. We'll go to the school counselor, actually you and Morri should go. Ashley and I will be right behind you." She turned to Nicole and to Ashley. "Listen Ashley I know what you want to do, I'd crush her into oblivion if I could, but you're better than that. Bind her arms, keep her tied down, we'll bring this to the police, someone who can keep her locked up, and away from Dallas or anyone else she could hurt." "Nicole, I recommend you stop fighting, because if you try to run, I will knock you on your ####. What you did was criminal and horrible and it's weight you'll have to carry with you the rest of your life. But you will not be a part of his life or anyone's. So stop fighting right now."

IC: (Hanako) "The White One known as Thok, he was using some kind of power with his eyes, it disoriented our Menti, and made them lose their focus and coordination in battle. The hulking brute called Reidak seemed to adapt to our powers on a level we weren't prepared for. Avak, seems to be an engineer of sorts, he wowed the Dastana clan with his technical prowess when he was on the Archipelago. Hakann, the red one, had eyes that could set things ablaze, he was cruel, all of them are, but this one was a special type of that. The blue one, by the name of Vezok could use the mind arm discipline. He was agile, only the quickest of our soldiers could even match him. Together they are nearly impossible to defeat. We imprisoned them, but we had no idea about the full scope of their powers, we don't know enough as we would like. I'm going to be honest, though we have some eye-witness testimonies. Our information is not the best it could be." I said, remembering the reports I was given, and expected to read through, this job was still sort of like my handmaiden work, only a great deal more exciting. Though the information was decent, but not great, I gave what I could. We knew most about these powers related to vision, but even then most of our information still seemed incomplete. These Chaotic Six were a real threat, they were far too cunning by half. We made mistakes of underestimating them, and now they escaped our grasp. Now they were wrecking havoc on this new island, Mata Nui and I felt a little guilty, perhaps Ayiwah felt the same way, and maybe the other Menti with us. We let this threat escape our grasp, and now Mata Nui was suffering for it. "I must ask, what exactly are Rahkshi, are they some sort of animal?" I asked, the solemn tone in which was spoke told me it was something to be feared, and that worried me. Now the Chaotic Six had allies, and what sounded like trained pets or servants. They were starting to become a larger threat by the minute.

IC: (Hanako Herupa) "Hello Akiri Hahli. It is good to meet you. As Toa Leah has said, we're envoys of the Dasaka Empire. I believe you had contact with a previous expedition, I really must thank you, Toa Leah, and your villagers for being such gracious hosts to us. Toa Leah was just talking to us about a serious matter. Regarding the Chaotic Six, though to you they are known as the Piraka. Bringing them to justice is one of our reasons for being, and now we know for certain they are here," I said. I wish I didn't have to talk about the Piraka, but it wasn't nice to leave the leader of the village out of the loop. That and everyone was positively itching to strike out now, and chase the Piraka down. Yes Commodore, perhaps we can strike an alliance to defeat them. Seeing as they have found allies? It is their island, and I do want to make sure we don't step on any toes while we are here of course.

IC: (Thok) Guess who's back? Did you miss me honey? You bet your sweet ##### you did. I'm sure Thok entertained you deviants among deviants with his tales of what with the people he killed. He just does that #### because he knows it gets under everyone's' skin. Main reason he needs to die. Yes, I'm sure his grandiloquent language makes you feel smarter just for reading it. It shouldn't, walking, talking Thesaurus Rex has a tendency to throw words around that are needed. Flowery language with no substance. You and me though I give you the straight talk. Wanna know why, because for one I'm not a pompous prick. The other reason is it's nice to have an audience that doesn't interrupt you every three seconds. Which is more than can be said for my allies. Oh right so the T.O.Y.S. Store. Let me tell you a bit about T.O.Y.S. Yes I know what you're thinking: "When I hear Thok talk about toys I can only see this going to bad places" and yeah I guess most of the time you'd be right. This time you're wrong. I am not nearly so predictable. Anyways with that out of the way, it has always been my dream to open a bar and grill, having it combined at the hip with Avak's tech shop made it just so perfect. He's always a bit annoyed, but in reality he loves having me around and he knows it. Besides Avak isn't exactly a peoples' person. My handsome face, my charming wit, my friendly attitude that is what sells. Tech sells though. I'm good with setting up deals, talking about the multiple applications of Avak's tech, besides their standard use. I can cook a mean meal, and have a nice case of drinks I "acquired" still have to set up my own distillery though. I could see Avak was busy so I sneaked up behind him and leaned over to whisper in his ear. "How's Vakbot coming along?"

IC: (Hanako) "A group of six Skakdi, foul Piraka escaped from our prisons, they had abilities we hadn't quite been prepared for. We thought we were the only landmass, only people on this endless ocean. So you can imagine our surprise. At first they seemed well enough, if a little Chaotic, hence the name we have given them, The Chaotic Six. They committed multiple crimes, spat in the face of our virtues. The Rora, our late Empress Yusanora Umbraline had sent out submersibles to track them down. It was one of these subs who in their searches found a landmass. Then our first expedition made contact with your village. As you can tell it took us a bit longer to prepare this second one," I said with a smile. I was doing everything in my power not to gush about how exciting this was, how amazing it was that they could control elements. How beautiful the village was. Oh the issues of being a representative of your people, how I wanted to explore, to talk to everyone I could. To just find amazing things and people on this island, beautiful sights to behold. Oh I could not wait.

IC: (Kino Iho) I took a deep breath, there was quite a bit I had to explain, I didn't have all the information, but Pae and Korzaa could explain the rest. I never really prepared for this moment, introducing Pae and Angelus, but now here I was in the hot seat. I had something important to say, so there was no use dallying. "Angelus, Jolek. This Toa of Iron is a friend of mine, his name is Pae. We grew up together in the Kumu Islets, he's basically been the only person I could ever count on. Till I met you, till I came here. We became mercenaries together, Pae and I. Our work took us all over Mata Nui. Eventually though we had different jobs that took us different ways and we lost contact with each other. However he found me, and he trusts me. I trust you, this Guard this city, however the next thing I'm going to tell is extremely sensitive information." "This woman here is Korzaa, Captain of the Ko-Koro Guard. They have been attacked, and Pae escorted Korzaa out when the attack proved too much, it seems. Pae brought her in hopes that we could help her and protect her. To be honest Pae, Korzaa I don't know nearly as much as you two, mind telling us the rest?"

IC: (Kino Iho) "Funny thing, I was looking for you. I need to talk with you two. It concerns these two," I said with a smile, pointing to Pae and Korzaa. The Guard Captain of Ko-Koro cover was still up to Angelus and Jolek. However she wasn't exactly removing suspicion either which is why we needed to talk. "Can we take this in your office, you're really going to want to hear this. I can't really say more out here, it's sensitive enough." My voice became more quite, and an awful bit more serious. I needed Angel to know that when I was saying what info I had was serious. He would take it as such, which I knew he would. I'm sure he had important stuff himself to tell me, probably with that arrogant friend of his, Joske.

IC: (Kino Iho) I walked into headquarters with Pae and Korzaa in tow. Waving to the matoran at the front desk, I hurried the two of them along, Pae liked discretion, so I would have to make sure Angelus said nothing about Pae, and his accomplices. Back when we were in the Kumu Islets, stealing from crime bosses, taking out thugs, it was Pae who wanted us to keep a low profile, for both of us. Of course being the overconfident, and exceedingly proud girl I was I grumbled about it. I wanted to be a true hero, something that the Kumu Islets couldn't chew up. Well... Let's just I didn't exactly break new ground, proved that no matter how powerful, how confident, how on top of your game you are, the Kumu Islets would easily blindside you and leaving you picking up your teeth in an alleyway. I had reached Angelus' office, Captain of the Guard, but unfortunately he wasn't here, maybe he was just gonna be away for a few seconds. "Give him about a minute or so, being Captain of the Guard means he's practically imprisoned in this office. Sucks, he strikes me as the kind of guy who wants to be out there, solving crimes, but he's got to be the administrator, otherwise this Guard would probably fall apart, or at least not run as well as it does now."

IC: (Sakuya) "Alright, I'll see you then. Should I dig through my closet for some formal wear?" Sakuya chuckled. It was a light bit of teasing about this dinner "date". She liked Dallas, he was a fun guy similar interests. He wasn't sure if him and the girl sitting next to him earlier were friends or something more. She didn't like assuming anything, so she stopped making assumptions, but either way he was treating her to a dinner. She was excited for this, because Dallas was really fun and nice, was the only person who wasn't irritated or afraid of her. Heck, he came looking for her so he could ask where she wanted to go, that and she realized they hadn't gotten each other's number yet, so she pulled out her phone. "We should exchange numbers, forgot to do this last time."

IC: (Kino) "Well I didn't exactly make it easy to get back in contact, did I?" I sighed. "Really it's on me, I should have given you a location, a time, a signal something so we could find each other. I visited Kumu you know, after that disaster. Everything was gone, almost all of it submerged. It's weird to see home just there one moment and gone the next." I lead them down a few straights, weaving them through the crowds, just in case anyone was tailing them. Whatever Pae had involved himself in my absence was serious, but he was doing the right thing. Protecting a Koro's Captain of the Guard, bringing her to arguably the best infantry/police force on the island. I looked for you, a short bit, couldn't find you. I settled here, but I know we'd find each other again. We always do Pae," I smiled back at him as we came to headquarters. I'd check Angelus office first, he'd make it easier getting to Jaller, but if he was unavailable then we'd go to Jaller himself. Although it would be awkward introducing Pae and Angelus to each other. It wasn't my first concern at the moment, but still a niggling doubt on my mind.

IC: (Hari - "Arina") "Thank you, I have only small bits of information on this matter. My client didn't give me much to work with, so any information you could provide me with would be helpful," Arina said, seeing how orderly the house, though that mainly seemed to be from lack of really having anything in it. The lighting was weak but still enough for her to see. She stood, not exactly sure whether Roth wanted her to take a seat while he explained or if he intended to make this so quick, so he could push her out of his house and go back about his business. Either way her perseverance had paid off, and she was happy. Breadcrumbs of information was all she had at this point.

IC: (Kino) I saw that small smile, and felt the strength in that hug, Pae had missed me. As much if not more than I missed him. He was the truest friend anyone could ever ask for. However it was clear he wasn't here to catch up. I avoided a look of surprise on my face. "Oh ####, well it's good you brought her here. We suffered from an attack by a group of Skakdi, called the "Piraka". They caused a lot of destruction, hurt some people, I'm sorry about Ko, but we should really be talking to Akiri Jaller, but there's also the Captain of the Guard, Angelus. You can trust him, I trust him. He's a good man, the force is full of men and women you can trust, but I figure you want discretion. So follow me back to headquarters, we'll go straight to the top on this."
