Death of the Endless Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 IC: Tawara, Ta-Ga BorderThe Matoran of Lighting appeared lost in thought for a few seconds, staring blankly at the ground. Suddenly, her head jerked up. "What? Oh. Yeah, there's nothing I can do. Back in Goara Nui, I was great at survivin' and avoidin' trouble, compared to most, at least. But here..." Tawara said bitterly, "Here everything is different. Near everyone I meet could stop my heart with a flick of their wrist if they wanted to, it seems." She kept her eyes trained on Iris while she spoke. Weaver, Seeker, and Spark "When the first living thing existed, I was there, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job will be finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave." - Death, The Sandman (Previously Toa Alaka) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right, can you still walk with that ankle?" Gyren said as he looked down to her swelling ankle. The young toa wondered how long Iris would be in control as he tapped his fingers on the cover of his notebook. -Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns- -Yet by the blade of Knights, mankind was given hope- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuju Metru Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) OOC: Thank you for waiting.IC:Without preamble, a part of the blue sky above Ta-Koro flickered into darkness, as though momentarily a dense cloud came into existence. From this cloud, which spread and danced thinly like a black veil snapping in a high breeze, a bolt of powerful lightning exploded to life. This though was clearly no normal lightning strike, for the lightning drove forward along a straight line, hardly straying from linearity. It showered the Koro below with sparks that set fire to thatched roofs and wooden carts, hummed dangerously as it spiked through the air and down at a very exacted target.The darkness almost sneered as it directed its powerful thunderbolt toward the so-called castle of the "royal court." With a disinterested satisfaction, the darkness watched as the godly energy it had summoned lanced down into the building. The lightning was on a course perfect and precise, as nearly as the darkness could ascertain. It was blindingly bright, but seemed to only create deeper shadows as it shot at the earth.A noise like thunder and splintering bones. The roof of the king's palace was blasted cleanly through, bits of the ceiling topping down and injuring those below. One unlucky being was caught beneath a large piece of the former roof and instantly crushed with a hideous noise. But the straight lightning hardly stopped at this first barrier, ignored the injuries and death it had caused. It continued down unfettered into the chamber below.The electric spear had been directed at the throne room, and it was launched at an impeccable angle within that chamber - the odd lightning was aimed directly at the king, who was sitting in his gilded chair. Almost before the king registered that there was a sharp bright finger of storm coming towards him, he was skewered through the chest by it. The lightning shot straight through him, through the back of his chair, and into the earth, where it was at last consumed.The king's wound sizzled and cracked; his chest had been reduced to well-cooked meat. His face was captured in an eyebrows-raised expression of mounting surprise, and what was left of his charred innards sizzled as keenly as hot metal dipped in cold water. He had been slain immediately, and fell forward off his throne, face first to the ground. A sickening cracking noise accompanied the corpse's impact with the floor, as though all his ribs, delicate from their intense cooking, broke at even the small impact.All that the others in the court had time for was screams, because they were slated to face the same fate as their former regent. The royal castle was suddenly engulfed in blackness. Outside observers saw the occasional flash of light within, heard violent hums and crackles and cries of agony, but could not discern anything that was happening within the cloud of night. When it cleared, everyone inside was dead, reduced to blackened husks by point-blank lightning strikes. A fire had started among broken parts of the roof.Such a fire, though, was not what brought the building down. With apparent spontaneity, the castle collapsed slowly into particles no larger than grains of sand, as did all the bodies within. The crumbling parts of the building either fell apart on themselves to make mounds of ashes, or toppled into the lava lake below where they hissed and then were seen no more. Only one part of the former royal court was spared: the king's throne, covered in blood that had been dried to brownness immediately by the heat of the lightning, and the corpse of the king himself; roasted meat frozen by death, but meat still smoking.The darkness decided to leave this burned monarch intact for one reason: he was to be a warning. No castles, no rulers, no other claims to authority, would be tolerated under its omnipresent eye. Its consciousness withdrew from Ta-Koro, and the sky was blue again, just as it had been.

American Hustle Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) IC: BertBert turned to the Matoran, who he could at least see eye to eye with. It was actually much better then having to look up at the tower that was Demas. Bert could see in the Matoran's eyes that he was clearly lying, although that didn't matter. He had afterall seen the Matoran pull his disk launcher out and aim in Bert's direction. This was more then enough to take him in for questioning, which Bert was preparing to do. "Don't play stupid." He growled once more. "Show me your disk launcher, civilian." He commanded. Edited March 24, 2012 by John Carter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyru Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 IC (Oreius) (Ta-Koro)Oreius propped the unconscious Nepa against the wall of the control room, and carefully placed his mask next to him. He couldn't risk putting the orange Pakari back on- the trademark shock of energy that accompanied replacing one's mask might wake the sleeping Guard up, and Oreius didn't want to knock him out again. He figured he had a few hours before Nepa slipped into the coma that accompanied the removal of a Matoran's Kanohi, but until then, there was nothing to worry about.Turning back to the door, Oreius frowned at the sound of approaching footfalls. He picked up Nepa's abandoned Guard staff warily, but his caution was unneeded: it was only Divinex. The Matoran was breathing heavily; he leaned against the doorway of the control room and paused for a minute to catch his breath."Hey... Oreius..." he said, breathing hard. "If you don't mind my asking, what exactly is going on?" The Ta-Matoran slung the Guard staff onto his back. "You remember the demolished hospital? Well, the guy who did it, an Ice Toa, escaped from custody and somehow blew up the remains. He's loose somewhere in the village, so I dropped the bridge to stop him from getting out."
