IC: Krayn"Hari." His voice was kind, but firm. He smiled slightly. "I'm not going to take your bed. I'll sleep on the couch." "This is your home, you sleep on the bed." Krayn grinned. "And no, that face you use to get people to do what you want won't work here."

IC: (Hari)"But Krayn...you need the sleep and you need it in a bed, not some couch. I want you to get the sleep you need and I want it to be comfortable for you. Besides I'm not really that sleepy." Hari pouted. Why was it that Krayn had to be so chivalrous right now. He needed the rest and she wanted him to get some good sleep. Hari continued to pout shifting about until she finally gave into Krayn's demand."Fine...but let me get you some sheets and some pillows and a blanket first."Hari disappeared into her bedroom and then into another room with in. Out she came with a bundle of sheets blankets and a few pillows. She laid the sheets over the couch. Then placed the the pillows against an arm rest and draped the blanket over the bed. "Well if you need anything else...just ask, you are my guest." She said with a smile and another wink. "I'll be nearby if you need me, if I'm not in the house, I'll be out back in my garden."

[Krayzikk]

IC: Krayn"Alright." Krayn smiled. "If I don't wake up in a few hours, please wake me. I hate wasting daylight. Especially when I actually have good company for once."The De-Toa settled onto the couch, and closed his eyes. Within a few minutes, his breathing slowed as he fell asleep.

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)Hari nodded. Watching as Krayn climbed into bed, being rather quiet she gathered some of her gardening supplies, a rake, a few shovels, trowels, and a water pail. She set those at the doorway to the back, but now seeing that Krayn seemed to be in deep sleep she smiled, getting on a knee and running her hand over the sleeping Toa's mask."Sleep well Krayn, see you when you wake." She said, before placing a light kiss onto Krayn's mask before getting up and carrying her tools out into the garden. She smiled as she saw all the fresh fruits and vegetables that were ripe, she had to cut them so the other fruits and vegetables would grow more fully. Being a Toa of Plant Life she rathered enjoyed toiling in the dirt, pulling out dessert weeds with her gloved hands. Snipping dead leaves and stems. She whistled a Po-Koro melody. It was a good day to be outside, it managed to be partly cloud and breezy for Hari and she loved it. She tossed a few more vegetables into her basket. It had been around five hours, and she found herself caked in sweat and dirt. Taking a few breaths she took a few swigs of water before picking up the rather heavy basket of produce and walked back inside, struggling with the door and setting the fruits on the table. She walked past Krayn and into her bathroom, which was attached to the bedroom.The sounds of armor clattering agains the floor could be heard as the sound of water running could also be heard. Not a half hour later after drying off and putting on a fresh pair of clothing, and light leather armor did she appear back from the bedroom. The clothing and armor was rather revealing compared to her previous choice of clothing and sighing she leaned over Krayn and shook him lightly."Hey lazy-head get up!" She said somewhat softly, she didn't want to freak Krayn out.

[Krayzikk]

IC: KraynKrayn's breathing slowly started to quicken, as he woke up. Moments after she spoke, he shifted slightly, and lazily opened his eyes. He stretched in place. "Hey, Har-"He stopped as he noticed what she was wearing, and blushed. "Um. Wow. You look great." The De-Toa slowly sat up, and blinked the last vestiges of sleep from his eyes.

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)However when Krayn had sat up, he had hit something...rather soft with his face. Hari stumbled backwards from the couch, blushing furiously."So....um would you like to help me cook dinner?" She smiled, throughly embarrassed by what had occured. She hoped that Naona's Mama Ash Bear senses didn't kick in there or Krayn would be in real trouble. It was frightening how she always seemed to sense that. Hari tried not to act like anything happened instead making her way to the kitchen. "Perhaps you should clean up yourself though, shouldn't prepare food when you're unclean." She said melodiously from the kitchen. There, it didn't happen, he didn't bump into her...there. It was just a part of her overactive imagination. She didn't have to worry about Naona tearing down her door to beat up Krayn for what was an accident. That wouldn't happen, right?

[Krayzikk]

IC: KraynKrayn's face was scarlet, and his eyes widened. I didn't just... No way.... "Um... Uh.... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... It was an accident." He looked like he was terrified she'd slap him at any moment. He stood, and half walked half ran for the bathroom.

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)"Krayn?" She had noticed him basically running to her bathroom thoroughly embarrassed by what had occurred. Though Hari herself found it incredibly embarrassing she started to laugh, it was actually pretty funny. In fact there was really only one thing to be worried about and that was an angry Naona."It was an accident Krayn...you're fine." She laughed somewhat as she began to wash what were basically tomatoes in her sink. Poor Krayn seemed to get himself into blunder after blunder, but Hari was okay with it, overprotective Naona though, she could imagine her racing here in less than a minute and that scared her.

[Krayzikk]

IC: Krayn"..... Naona isn't out there, is she?" Krayn asked. ".... So sorry, by the way...."

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)"Hmm, not that I know off, if she does come, maybe we should dissuade her from violence with food. You think that will work?" Hari asked, walking over. "It's okay Krayn, it's not really as bad as you think. However if you're really embarrassed by it, we can act like it never happened and if Naona shows up will disavow that such a thing ever occured. Hopefully she will believe if that is so."

[Krayzikk]

IC: KraynKrayn stepped out, still looking very embarrassed. "Sorry." He had his hands in his pocket, and smiled sheepishly. "Would it be better, or worse to say I wasn't looking where I was going?"

[Vezok's Friend]

IC:Kehua, after watching for another minute, decided they had lingered too long, clasping Kaimaen on the shoulder. "Come on. We need some food and rest to replenish our energies. I'll buy. And no, that's not a date." the large Toa said to his companion. While he did not know his way around on the island as a whole yet, being in a village itself it was easier to find a place to stay for the night.Thank the spirits for universal currency... lehua thought as he pushed open the doors to the first inn he could find. It was a two-story building near the entrance to the village. The landlord was pleasant enough, although a bit weary it seemed, for some reason. But they got a room with two beds and dinner without any trouble.Kehu surprisingly found that he could sleep, although he did not take of his armor. It was just something he and his bretheren did. The Aitua never took chances. Some had called it paranoia before, but it had saved them on more than one occasion.The next morning, after an early breakfast, the two Toa set out again. The Matoran guard had told them that Tupua had probably left for Onu-Wahi, so that's where they needed to go.The shadow that had followed them since Ga-Wahi slithered away once it had heard enough. The others in the village of earth would be delighted to hear another of the Aitua came their way.OOC: Kehua and Kaimaen to Onu-Wahi.

[Toa Fanixe]

IC:"Sounds good" LoJak said with a smile. "After you?"

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)"Honestly I don't know but I'm pretty sure I'd be feeling like you if the roles were reversed." She smiled and then placed both of her hands in Krayn's. "It happens Krayn, you shouldn't worry too much about it, the only thing worth worrying about is the fact that at any minute Naona could barge in her, somehow knowing exactly what happened or has a hint of it and goes straight for you. You know that honestly sounds crazy to me. So how about you help me cook dinner...and maybe can learn a little more about each other." Hari said, with a slight smile and a tilt of the head.

[Krayzikk]

IC: Krayn"Sounds great. But I'll admit, I have no cooking skill." Krayn smiled. "So, you'll have to teach me.""Still sorry, by the way."

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)"Krayn you really need to stop apologizing and don't apologize for apologizing." Hari said, her turquoise eyes now narrowing before for a few seconds before softening up. "I swear Krayn you'll wear yourself out if you keep worrying over every little thing." She grinned, before pulling Krayn along into kitchen. "First off, clean wash your hands." When Krayn was done she walked over and motioned for Krayn to stand in front of the cutting board. What she did next was sure to get the Le-Koro Guardsman flustered. She wrapped herself around him in a semi-hug guiding his hands on how to properly cut the tomatoes."Alright handsome, you first slice off the top and the bottom of the vegetable, at least for things like these tomatoes." She said jovially. "Now give how wet this vegetable is, you want to carefully pinch it, while slicing down like this." Krayn's fingers were just short of the blade cutting down on them. She could tell he was a little nervous. "Krayn...I'm not trying to put you in the hospital. This is how you cut most vegetables, so you have to be careful." Eventually they had finished and Hari stepped away from Krayn."There you go, when we get to the other vegetables and the meat we can do that again if you need it." She smiled as she began washing the vegetables in what was effectively a sink, before moving them to the counter for Krayn to cut. "Doing okay?"

[- JL -]

IC: CyraxCyrax nodded. They walked around until finding one of the posters. "Apparently its in Le-Koro. To repair the village, which means there was damage done to it. And Makuta followers might try to stop the repairs...."

[25K Now!]

IC: [Naona]When you had finally graduated from the Guard Academy, you were overjoyed. At that very moment, you had finally reached your dream of becoming a guard, and could now prowl the streets of Po-Koro, defending the village against Rahi attacks and protecting your people from the thugs within. Of course, you had ended up waiting for your paperwork to be finalised, which prevented you from immediately going out and patrolling. It was this that cemented your dislike of red tape, something that would last long into your career.Yet you were not thrown into Po-Koro to protect the citizens. At the time of your graduation, their had been a cross-village program, which sent their own recruits to different villages in order to increase co-operation between the guard forces. You were one of those sent to Le-Koro, where you were assigned to the 12th Gukko Squadron. You were to learn and work with them, festering greater cooperation between the villages.The leader of the squadron was a cheerful joker, who immediately began to fawn over you. By the time you had arrived, she had already designated you as the little sister of the group, and attempted to be a big sister figure. It was rather heart-warming to see how the entire squadron had accepted you so quickly, and you happily worked with them for a few months.Of course, the most major influence on you during your stay in the squadron was the second-in-command, a workaholic who would stay up all day and night to bring justice to the village. He did not care much for stuffy red tape, and had great faith in the law and truth. It was him who instilled in you an even greater sense of justice, and no matter what happened later on, you still thank him for it.He was your father figure in the squadron, or at least, a brother figure. He guided you through the processes of becoming a guard, and taught you how to fight. Without his mentoring, you would never have been able to become the being you are today. Much of his lessons are still drilled into your mind, and you still call upon them today. The staff that you had formerly owned before it had been stolen had been a gift from him, a representation of everything you had learnt.You looked up to him, considering him to be the perfect representation of a guard, the type of person you should strive to become. His sense of justice and determination to bring law to the village inspired you, something you have inherited from him. So when his fall from grace arrived, you were shocked and betrayed.It had been another average day for you when you had learnt of trouble in one of the interrogation facilities. You were an inexperienced guard back then, and completely forgot to call for assistance, deciding to charge in by yourself. There, you took in the sight of bodies sprawled around the room, with one other guard fighting against the culprit - your mentor.You had merely stood there, in shock at what had occurred, when he fought off the other guard and impaled you to the wall. You remember the pain and suffering that had enveloped you when you felt the weapon pierce through your body, stabbing into the wall behind you. You remember the sense of betrayal you felt as you looked into your mentor's cold eyes, your body limply hanging off the spear.The next moments were a blur, but you dimly recall your mentor disappearing, before you finally succumbed to unconsciousness. When you had finally awoken, it had been a week since the event, and you had nearly died. You did not recall what had happened at first, but when it all came rushing back to you, you had broken down, sobbing yourself to sleep.By the time you had been allowed to leave the hospital, you trekked back to Po-Koro in low spirits, your heart heavy with despair. At one point you even thought about leaving the Guard, but you remembered your dreams, which convinced you that everything would get better soon. You believed them, wanting your life to get back to normal.Yet when you returned to your duty, you did so dispassionately, the spark that had fuelled your endeavours disappearing and leaving you as an empty shell. It was not until you helped chase down a rather notorious criminal when your spark returned, for you had realised that if you were to uphold truth and justice, you would have to do it with passion, creating a good example for the populace.Soon, you threw everything you had into your work, rapidly rising through the ranks. Your duty was to the village, and you were to keep it safe no matter the cost. Your spark had been rekindled, and was burning even stronger than before. The cheerful and energetic being you once were may have been gone, but in its stead was a determined woman, who would make the world a safer place.You were a guard, and your duty was to the betterment of the world.

[Krayzikk]

IC: Krayn"I think so..." Krayn said slowly, concentrating on cutting the vegetable correctly and not cutting his fingers. The De-Toa was starting to get the hang of it, after all, he had practice with knives just not with vegetables.

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)Hari looked over to see that Krayn had gotten through all the tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms. She took out some pieces of bread and some cheese, taking the tomatoes that Krayn had cut, placing the tomato on the bottom and the cheese over the top of it. When she was done, she had more than enough of this particular food. Washing her hands again, she pulled out two pieces of Kane-Ra steak and tossed a little butter into the pan, pushing it around and motioning Krayn back over. She salted and peppered the steaks, they didn't need to be tenderized, so that was good."Alright when you want to cook it medium rare, which I myself prefer you give the steak five minutes on both sides." Hari said. It was rather easy for her to teach cooking as it came naturally to the Corporal. "Think you could grab two glasses and my bottle of Bula Berry Wine?" She asked. It took her about another five minutes and during that time she set the table and pulled her cooked appetizer, she placed the mushrooms and onions into the pan, and then went to pull out the plates and forks, setting them on the table. In another two minutes the steaks were done, seared on both sides and she placed on Krayn's plate and one on her plate. She sat down with a smile."You know normally this is the other way around." Hari laughed a bit, normally it was the guy that cooked for her, too bad most of them were actually terrible cooks.OOC: I'm using real world vegetables because Bionicle never had much beyond Bula Berries.

[sunflower]

IC: DehkazThe Toa of Magnetism wandered around the Po-Koro HQ, not really having a specifc destination, or anything that really needed to get done. He had already filled out the paperwork that needed to be done, orders for deployment of the Fowadi, the details on the seach of an old enemy that was being done, and even plans for adding a disk-launcher to the docks for defence against coastal attack. All good stuff. The problem was, Dehkaz didn't really have anything else work-releated to think about, which he didn't actually like.Because his thoughts always turned to the past. And the past of a former bounty hunter wasn't usually good. Dehkaz knew he had done some... questionable things for a Guard member to have done, but he accepted it and moved on. It was the things that he couldn't move on from that got to him. Well, he thought, stepping around a corner, I do suppose I get what I deserve...This proved all too true as a blast of pure kinetic energy blew the Toa of Magnetism straight through the wall behind him. The blast came from a huge triple-barreled weapon, and that weapon was held by an equally massive silver-armored Skakdi standing just around the corner."Hello Dehkaz," the huge being said to the unconscious Toa of Magnetism as he drew a knife, "Long time no see."OOC: Ba-dun-dun-dun!

[Krayzikk]

IC: KraynKrayn had done as he was asked, retrieved the bottle and glasses, and set them in their proper places on the table. He smiled. "You're probably right. But in my experience, male members of the respective Guards are horrible cooks. There's a reason there are so many restaurants built near Guard buildings."

[Silvan Haven]

Kale Ironshaper- Po-koro Guard HQIC: Kale had been wandering around, getting familiar with the layout of he place. It helped that he helped rebuild it, but a place always looked different after it was built.Every weapon makes a noise when used, even if they only fire kinetic energy. This one had been fired in the middle of the most heavily guarded place in the koro. Kale dashed towards the noise, unable to use his Kakama to go for more then short dashes. He rounded a corner to see a Skakdi standing over the unconscious body of his captain.He dropped in a half-crouch, the outer armor on his arms and legs growing extra layers and changing to become more sturdy."Who are you?"

[sunflower]

IC: MokraxThe massive Skakdi turned to the voice, and raised his Pulse Cannon. His green eyes studied Kale closely. "That's need to know, and you don't," Mokrax replied, before sending mutiple bolts of impact vision towards the Toa of Iron. The first hit a chair, blasting it to pieces, while the second and third continued on.Meanwhile, Dehkaz groaned, but was still far from conscious. Getting blsted through a wall was noton Dehkaz's top ten list of things to do.

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)"Hmm, I guess you're right." She replied, before cutting up a piece of steak and a piece of a mushroom. Chewing for about a minute before swallowing, and then sipping on the wine that Krayn had grabbed for the two of them."Sooo...what were the Aggressors like back then?" Hari asked, both elbows on the table, leaned forward like a child waiting to hear a story from their parents. Krayn had been rather vague on the smaller events on the group at the beginning at how it all came together and how they became such steadfast friends. Despite feeling welcome, she was new and as a result, she felt herself on the outside looking in, and this especially felt terrible when she really liked Krayn. She couldn't understand him like she wished, she couldn't be the person she wanted to be for him. She didn't want to feel like an outsider anymore.

[Krayzikk]

IC: KraynKrayn took a sip of his wine, and looked thoughtful. "Let's see....""Well, for one thing, we were a rag-tag bunch. Recruited on the spot, out of whoever was available. A few mercenaries were hired to round out the team, and a few of them brought friends. That's how Dehkaz and Dekal came to be Guard members, there were recruited when they joined the group."Another sip. "The first thing we had to do was figure out where the Infernavika went. That was pretty simple, we found out when it left, and based on the currents we narrowed it down to Ta-Koro, or one other village. A scout team was sent to each. Commander Skyra and I were sent to Ta-Koro. We discovered the Infernavika in the harbor, and contacted the others."After a moment of consideration, Krayn chose to leave out the part where Tillian tried to choke him. That was a story for another day. "What came next was easily the most chaotic battle I have ever taken part in. Most of us swarmed onto the ship, but we encountered strong resistance. All of the pirates, it turns out, were skilled fighters. One on one, and even two on one, they matched us blow for blow. I fought a rapier-wielding Toa of Plasma. It went quite well for a time, until he decided to tackle me overboard. We fought hand to hand in the water, but he eventually shoved me under and kept me there.""Somehow, I have no idea how, I survived. The next thing I can remember is discovering he was no longer holding me down, and that the fight was almost over. I eventually swam to shore, and met back up with the group.Another sip of wine. "This part, I have only had told to me. The Po-Koro Guard ship, the Fowadi, rammed into the Infernavika. The latter was most affected, as the Fowadi was armor plated, if I recall correctly. The fighting continued, and during this time, two of our allies were lost. I did not know either of them, few of us did." He paused, and took another sip. "Skyra managed to sneak belowdecks, and recover Onewa. He sent him off on his Gukko, leaving the rest to fiish the fight. A Toa of Water showed up for their side, and caused massive damage to the Fowadi.""Not long after that, both sides were forced to withdraw. Neither side could take much more, and we had already recovered Onewa. Not long after that, the Aggressors simply ceased to be."

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)The only sound in the room after Krayn had finished his story was the clattering as Hari's fork hit the table and hopped once on the rebound. Her jaw was slack the story, all of it she found herself completely enthralled. Then again Krayn did seem to be a little to the point, no real sense of dramatic flair. Then again that was good, he didn't embellish when people deserved to know the truth. Hari didn't know the truth, and she didn't really deserve to know, despite her current relationship with Krayn."Umm...forgive me for asking so many questions...but what happened then? Cause it seems the group still stuck together, at least from what you've been telling me so far." She said. Hari wasn't sure what to say beyond that and she cut another bit of the juicy red meat, it was just as bloody as she liked, though she was sure if she was to ever cook for Tillian she was probably just going to hand him the steak. The meat was tender and tasty. The earthy and yet buttery smell of the mushroom and onions had permeated the kitchen. She flashed a smile before posing a different question to Krayn, pursing her soft lips to say it."Sooo...are you enjoying your dinner? Do you have a favorite dish?" She asked. Out of all of Krayn's friends, it seemed like he would be the toughest to crack. She felt terrible for treating him as some mystery to be solved. He was a Toa, a living being and the wave of guilt hit her. "Sorry...if you don't really want to talk about any of that, sometimes people prefer to leave the past where it is." She sighed, and sipped the wine. It tasted bitter. Strange, Bula Berry Wine was know for being some of the sweetest wine in all of Mata Nui.

[Void Emissary]

IC: Lux Saran - Po-Koro"Oh, cool," Lux replied, half-listening, half-admiring the village around him, "Has it already been this... sandy?"IC: Rynekk Simul - Outside Guard HQSpear in hand, he ran at her, a snarl warping his otherwise handsome face. He brought it around, its head aimed for her throat. He felt satisfaction as it pierced her skin, blood spraying out, in a gruesome and grisly display.She stared at him, in shock, horror, and just a little sadness."Brother?"Rynekk bolted upright, sweating profusely, eyes wide in terror. He glanced around, as if the nightmare was coming at him in real life. Slowly, his heart stopped its rapid pounding, but that was little comfort to his mind, or soul.Slowly, the Toa got to his feet, gathering up the coat he had been using as a pillow, and headed out into the street."It's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's just a dream..." he muttered stoically.-Void

[Krayzikk]

IC: Krayn"Hey." Krayn smiled. "You haven't got anything to apoogize for. Absolutely nothing. Honestly, I don't mind. It's kind of nice, telling stories."He took another sip of his wine. He didn't notice anything that might be off about it. He had about as much practice with alcohol as a fish did walking. It was followed by a bite of his meal. "This is delicious. Absolutely delicious. I can't think of a favorite food off the top of my head."He smiled again. "You're right, the Agressors more or less stayed together. But they split up into smaller groups, Naona and the Fowadu cane back here, while the rest of us stayed behind. As for what came next.... That's a long story.""Tell you what. Since you're curious, ask me anything. I'll do my best to answer your questions."

[Hanako Herupa]

IC: (Hari)Hari breathed easier knowing that she hadn't offended Krayn. She smiled, sipping her wine, didn't seem so bitter anymore, must have been her mind. Hari placed her hands together and leaned forward in her seat with that interested smile upon her face, the edges of her mouth curving upwards softly."What did you do? Where did you go?" Hari asked, narrowing the topic of conversation once more. She felt like there were times where Krayn downplayed himself a lot, that he was just a minor character in all these stories he told about himself. He wasn't, not to her at least. It was rather strange how they had met, at Tillian's wedding, Krayn being rather well...himself. Actually that seemed harder to define now. He did seem as confident with people when she first met him, maybe she was wrong, he definitely behaved awkwardly around her for a bit, still did. She found it quite endearing to tell the truth. She ate some of the other sides she brought to the table as she awaited his answer. Dabbing the napkin over her mouth, wiping away any food or blood from the steak.

[Krayzikk]

IC: Krayn"Well, immediately after the fight in Ta-Koro, things got complicated." Krayn let out a wry smile. "As if they hadn't been already.""After the fight ended, the Agressors dissolved, officially speaking. We travled into Ta-Koro, and found an inn to stay at for the night. During this time, Tillian proposed to Emotia. Obviously, she said yes."Krayn let out a small sigh, as he recalled how happy everyone had been. How they'd no idea of what was coming. "Tillian was incredibly happy. Actually, that's a bit of an understatement but I'm not sure how else to put it. My recollection of the next series of events is a little foggy, but I remember quite clearly when it all went south.""We were gathered in a small square near the inn, Tillian was informing us of the good news. Skyra had gone to fetch Liara from Po-Koro, and he was just getting back when all of this took place. One minute, we all were happy. Everyone was grinning, and laughing.""Well, I was the first to stop grinning. Everyone heard a quiet pop, and when the looked over, I was clutching my neck. They tranquilized me. Tiny little dart, coated in a very powerful sedative. I was down and out in seconds. Before anyone could react, someone jumped out of a hiding place, grabbed Emotia, and took off. They dropped explosive Madu Cabolo to make sure we wouldn't be able to follow." Unconsciously, he felt the spot where the dart had hit him with his left hand."To this day, I'm not quite sure why they took me out first. Maybe I was the most convenient target. Maybe they thought between my mask and my element I might have been able to stop them."

[25K Now!]

IC: [Naona]"So Naona, what do you want to become when you're older?""I wanna join the guard and save everyone!"Dreams are considered to be and do many things. Some consider them to be a shadow of reality, or messages from Mata Nui. Others treat them as representations of your subconscious, while the more scientifically minded believe them to be the cleaning of 'junk' from your mind. But no matter what they may be, dreams have forever been a point of interest for sentient beings across the lands.And when one starts believing in them, they shall become reality.When you were young, you dreamed of becoming a guard. Your dreams came true, and you are now a protector of the village of Po-Koro, a hero in your own right. No matter the obstacles that came in your way, you stayed true to your dream, and continued along the long and arduous path that a defender of peace must take."W-w-why ... did you do this?!""There is ... no why ... I'm sorry ..."You dreamt of a better future for the island, and although such a dream has not come true at this time, you believe that it will in the future. That is one of the reasons for why you continue to fight, to bring peace to the island. You will not give up on such a dream, because it is a dream worth fighting for."You totally dream of dragging my beautiful butt into prison again.""Stronin, shut up."Dreams, no matter how ridiculous or how improbable, are there to tell you that the world is fine. As long as you continue to believe in your dreams, they will come true, and when they do ...The world will be at peace.

[Silvan Haven]

Kale Ironshaper- Po-koro Guard HQIC: "Seeing as you are standing over the body of my captain, I think I do need to know." Kale said as he sidestepped one blast and ducked under the other. Using his Kakama, he took off from the crouch and rushed up to the Skakdi. The silver Toa held his body low, his shoulder forward in a classic tackle position.

[sunflower]

IC: MokraxNo, you really don't, the huge Skakdi thought as Kale rushed at him. As soon as Mokrax had seen Kale start to blur as the Toa of Iron activated his Kanohi, the Skakdi of Magnetism pulled the trigger on his pulse cannon, and a wave of pure kinetic force filled the hallway infront of him.And that wave was heading directly towards the Kakama-speeding Kale.IC: DehkazBehind the massive Skakdi, Dehkaz began to regain consciousness, but just barely. As he lay in the remains of the wall he flew through, the Toa of Magnetism took stock of his injuries. Cracked ribs... Atleast three... Possible concussion... Karz... he thought his head still foggy."Ow," he said unconsciously as he put weight on his arm. And broken arm...

[Silvan Haven]

Kale Ironshaper- Po-koro Guard HQIC: Kale jumped up and flipped over the worst of the blast, his momentum carrying him through the part he could not dodge. Just before he landed, he brought out his leg and smashed it down at the Skakdi, the heel and part of the lower leg now having a blade on it.

[25K Now!]

IC: [The Fourth]"I haven't really explored Po-Koro much," she remarked.

[sunflower]

IC: MokraxOnly the Skakdi wasn't there, having backed up when Kale came leaping over the kinetic blast. Preparing himself for another attack, Mokrax slid out one of his broadswords, holding it one-handed defensively.IC: Dekal"Huh.
