[Krayzikk]

IC: Big ConvoyConvoy shook his head as he jumped to the side, and deflected the sword blow with his mace. "No. Once you had other's best interests at heart. Now, you're a despicable murderer.""I will give you one chance to leave this place peacefully."

[Axilus Prime]

OOC: I know that would be the smart choice, but...this isn't exactly my smartest char in matters of such things.IC: This was where Galvatroth's one true weakness, his pride, came into play. "You offer me that because you fear me, fool! I smell it in you!" He shot flames at Convoy from his cannon. "STARSCREAM! WHAT THE KARZ ARE YOU DOING?! YOU IDLE FOOL!"OOC: Wotz, you're rather inactive. You answer your PMs, though. What's going on?

[Krayzikk]

IC: Big ConvoyBig Convoy sighed, and sidestepped. "Oh how far you have fallen, relying on your subordinates to fight your battles." His eyes glinted. 'Don't say I didn't warn you."With a flourish, he threw Madu Cabolo around Galvatroth's feet, there were too many to destroy them all. He lunged forward, swinging his mace.

[Wotz]

OOC: We're fighting Reichenbach? AW YEAH http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.pngIC: Illicia"What sort of guy is this 'Reichenbach'? Like, what powers and specialties does he have?" Illicia asked, stepping deeper into the gathering absentmindedly.---OOC: TNG, I answered the PM right before going offline (I think), so timezones are to blame. I am never inactive http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png I also had loads of exams today so cut me some slack.IC: ZaruthanStarscream? What the- Oh right, that was my 'codename' now apparently. Whoop-de-doo."Are you blind, my leige?!" I called, fending off Ultra Magnus with a beam of Plasma, "I'm stopping you from getting frozen!" I promptly took a blast of ice to the face, sending me tumbling back into the water, Magnus creating an ice platform for him to follow me with, but I climbed on to it as he landed, sparking a sort of wrestling match on an iceberg.

[a goose]

IC: ReichenbachReichenbach sneaked away unnoticed, walking downstairs. Once he reached a dead end, he pushed in several blocks in the wall, causing the whole thing to slide downwards, revealing a passage into a maze lined with stone statues. He walked through it, taking not a single wrong turn, before passing a few other security measures to reach his vault. He pressed his hand against the door. The things inside... there was much more than just money. This vault was heavily guarded, with tricks and traps enough to stop even the most intelligent of thieves from reaching it and getting out alive.Little did he know that they would soon be put to the test...OOC: No, Wotz. You're getting the beaten out of you by Reichenbach.

OOC: Lol, right.IC: Dorian (Xa-Koro)"He's very good at annoying the bloody 'ell out of anyone who tries to catch him," Dorian said. "He likes to kill, but he's not as stylish nor as skilled as...well, me."IC: Kellin (Under Xa-Koro)Meanwhile, back at the ranch, our friendly neighborhood treasure hunter knelt down and listened intently: several doors led to water, fire, assorted Rahi, and switches that opened doors that led to water, fire, and assorted Rahi. Two doors, though, led to safety: numbers one and thirteen. Thirteen was dead ahead. One was right behind him.Sighing, he opened Door 13 and held his breath: nothing. Safe passage.He began to walk through the tunnel, not entirely unsure of what he had gotten himself into...-Teezy

OOC: Course.IC: IlliciaAn almost-impressed-but-mostly-amused smile emerged on Illicia's face, "Charming..."

[shadow pridak money gang]

IC: Dorian (Xa-Koro)"As always."Dorian looked around at the other members of Bad Company, then at whoever this guy was that was dishing out Brykon's orders."Well, then...I'd say the plan's done."-Teezy

[EmperorWhenua]

Ic: "Of course," the man said, "nobody is to know if this mission or your involvement. Kill anyone who stands in your way and do what must be done." The girl came up to the Peer and uncovered a trap door behind him, buried under the ash as a perfect camouflage. "I'll leave you all to your deliberations. Good luck." And he walked away with the girl behind him.Brykon didn't wait a beat, climbing down the hatch into the basement expecting his followers to be after him. They had to plan first.

[Wotz]

IC: IlliciaSure enough, Illicia slipped through the hatch and landed almost silently in the basement after Brykon, gun still in hand.

[shadow pridak money gang]

IC: Dorian (Xa-Koro)Dorian was right beside Brykon on the way down."Listen, I have a plan formulated already, accounting for everyone on the team and banking on their strengths and weaknesses. I can get inside that casino tonight and by Monday morning, I can have every bit of info that we'll ever need from the inside. This job is going to be all about infiltration and intelligence gathering before making a move. This could take days. Weeks. For that, I'm the best we've got."His blue eyes bored into Brykon's as he spoke in that typical Dorian fashion: confident, sure of himself, but not overly cocky."Of course, if you still don't trust me after my little sabbatical, you're free to deliberate as you please, boss."-Teezy

[Athmos]

IC(Gunfi): Gunfi spent all his widgets already on the Casino games and drinks. He was bored to put it shortly. He was hired to blow up a building and then what? Stay in a Casino? For what? "This.....sucks..." he muttered, lying on a couch on the Casino floor.

[Wade.]

IC: MikrokJust like the rest of the Bad Company, Mikrok trailed along with the group silently as always, rarely ever making a sound as he listened and observed. The Skakdi wasn't much of an infiltration expert so it seemed like he would have to adapt.

[a goose]

IC:A golden Toa stood nearby Gunfi, muttering to himself. "Leaves me in charge of a bloody casino... stuck with those stone freaks in the bloody basement..."

[Athmos]

IC(Gunfi): Gunfi looked at the Toa nearby. "Reichy ditch you as well?"

[a goose]

IC:"Nice nickname." He chuckled. "But, yeah, that prick left me in charge o' this place. It's fine, or it would be if it weren't for the less-than-pleasant company..."

[EmperorWhenua]

Ic: "Not so fast, tiger," Brykon said, seemingly shoving Dorian's advances away. He surveyed the basement. Unlike the topside, it was quite spotless and sophisticated. It was just three rooms: A lounge with a table and several couches, one bathroom and one separate room, akin to a study. Brykon took the latter room to himself, pushing a couch into the room for sleeping accommodations. "The rest of you sleep out here. Move the table to the side, put the chair by it." Surprisingly, like a well oiled machine the team did as commanded.Brykon found a map of the city and sprawled it out on the table as it was moved and they all gathered around it. "We'll use this place as our base. We have everything we need down here, so we'll be prepared for any eventualities. Stay cool, be smart and don't do anything that can get us discovered or attacked. This means no leaving the bunker. Tough. This map is outdated from the damages, but the layout is fine, just don't depend on the same landscape. Rest for now. Get situated. We start planning soon."He stepped away and walked to his room, stopped at the door and turned around like a manager at an office. He gave one sharp finger to Dorian and waved him inside.

[shadow pridak money gang]

IC: Dorian (Xa-Koro)Dorian looked around at the other members of their team; the emotions ranged from glee to confusion to curiosity to, on one particular face, worry. Shrugging, Dorian followed into Brykon's office, closing the door softly behind him and latching it shut.-Teezy

[Athmos]

IC(Gunfi): Gunfi eyed the various Toa, Skakdi, Vortixx and Matoran enjoying themselves on the Casino Floor. He turned back to the Toa. "Yeah, this place sucks."

[a goose]

IC:"Not them. I'm talking about his other employees. Six of 'em in particular. But I'm not meant to tell you that, because of his 'defence system' — whole place is rigged with more defences than you could shake a stick at. In fact, if you tried to shake a stick, it'd probably be covered in some kind of acidic poison that'd cause you a slow and painful death. I dunno what other things he keeps down there, but they sure as Karz ain't pretty."

[Athmos]

IC(Gunfi): "I'm sure it sucks as badly as this place..." Gunfi muttered.

[a goose]

IC:"Hey, he may own the place, but I'm in charge of it. Things normally aren't this bad, but with the fires and that bloody attack Xa-Koro's been getting less and less business. Still, we're not losing any money. You'd have to be nuts to try and break into this place."

[EmperorWhenua]

Ic: The two men stood there for a moment, looking at each other. Dorian didn't know what to expect at this point, and Brykon was waiting for the words to come. He had thought on this ever since Onu-Koro, especially on the cruise to the Islets, but the verbage was still not easily spat."We're not alike, you and I," he said in his gruff, raspy voice from too many cigars and gins. "Sure, we fought in the rings, and yes, you are a fighter, but you were always new to the sport. You fought for other reasons than me and you were more amoral. Back then, you were an opponent, then a nemesis, and then an ally, but now we're stuck with each other. And I realize despite our differences, we're too much alike. That mess in Onu-Wahi proved that much."He directed Dorian to a seat, which the Mark Bearer took. "I am commissioned to lead this team and you have proven yourself more useful than the rest. You have shown grace and loyalty where I did not expect, and for that I owe you respect, but you compliment me too much as an equal and the line has to be drawn, the balance has to be altered. Either one of us could have won in Onu-Koro, but it wavered to you in the end, and that cannot be allowed to happen again."I would be glad to promote you to lieutenant and give you responsibility over the rest, but the truth is you still broke the rules -- my rules -- and I cannot allow you to be rewarded without first being punished." He was steely and unwavering. he showed no fear of reprisal from Dorian, but he was not a fool. His words were chosen carefully, deliberately, explaining the circumstances and the reasons for the action. There was no loathing in his words, simply fairness and justice waiting to be dispensed.

[Athmos]

IC(Gunfi): "On this island," Gunfi said, "there are bound to people who will try."

[Axilus Prime]

IC: Galvatroth leaped onto the ship's mast and climbed up, while the Madu Cabolo exploded. If Convoy had been charging at any speed capable of hitting Galvatroth before he got to the mast, he would be caught in the explosion himself. "Do you really expect me to fight you and Magnus myself? I needed someone to deal with the other fool, but you are MINE to kill!"OOC: Yeah, but the previous day you made no posts, Wotz. It's fine, I guess. Lol.IC: "Whatever vermin you are, you're not the usual Toabot cretin that comes out to annoy me. I'll give you that much." He jumped down on Convoy, raining fire from his cannon and laser vision on him, sword outstretched. The fire covered quite a large area. "Now, die as I descend upon you!"

[Krayzikk]

IC: Convoy"No thanks." Convoy jumped back, carrying him to the edge of the fire. He lashed out with his macs, the force and wind it created forcing most if the fire away from him. The rest was easily caught by his armor.The fire still obscuring Galvatroth's vision, he tossed several Cabolo over his head, which exploded the instant they hit the flames.

[Axilus Prime]

IC: But as all objects fall at the same rate, and the flames were below Galvatroth as he fell, he used his flame cannon to slightly propel himself, so that his fall was once again angled to stab Convoy, without the Madu Cabolo catching up to him. "NOW YOU DIE!" He spun in the air as he flew down at Convoy, to make the attack that much more dangerous.

[Krayzikk]

IC: Big ConvoyBig Convoy sighed, and jumped back yet again as Galvatroth charged him, this time completely out of the flames. "You're a fool, Galvatroth."His eyes glinted. "But an amusing one. I'll enjoy watching you pay for your crimes when my brethren arrive."

[Axilus Prime]

IC: Galvatroth stabbed the mast and swung around his sword, inadvertently dodging the Madu Cabolo and being able to cling to the mast. "You'll be scrap metal before then!" He pulled his sword from the mast and jumped off the mast across the flames, landing behind Convoy. "HOPEFULLY, RIGHT NOW!" He shot from his flame cannon at him, hoping to blast him into the larger inferno on the ship.

[Krayzikk]

IC: Big ConvoyOne benefit to living in a hostile environment for most of your life is that you develop incredible reflexes.Such was the case with Convoy. When Galvatroth started to jump, Convoy dodged to the side, estimating where Galvatroth would land as he did so, and jumped behind the point where Galvatroth landed. One second after Galvatroth landed, Convoy held a knife at his throat. "Surrender, Galvatroth."Galvatroth was in a difficult situation. If he tried anything, Convoy had enough time to slit his throat. But his pride might not let him surrender.

[Axilus Prime]

IC: One advantage of being a fighter all your life, and having the training and experience to be Lord High Protector, was to be able to match such a foe. As he landed and Convoy got into position, Galvatroth turned his sword up so that he would come down with a slash, rather than a stab. Less damage, but Convoy would probably lose a limb if he stayed in any position capable of holding a sword to Galvatroth's neck when he landedOOC: Note that this is before he landed, as Galvatroth is definitely highly trained and powerful.

[shadow pridak money gang]

IC: Dorian (Xa-Koro)Dorian stared into Brykon's eyes for a long moment, and Dorian realized that he was being tossed a monstrous piece of bait here. Of course, there was a hook attacked: there always was. But this chance was something too great to pass up, and, hey, he had suffered before."I'm reading you loud and clear, boss," Dorian said, in that same soft tone, tinged with respect. "What exactly did you have in mind?"-Teezy

[a goose]

IC: UhatDeep below The Final Problem, Uhat stood, his eyes covered. He daren't look around. Footsteps moved past - dinner.The Fikou that had made it into the maze turned and looked at the Toa of Stone, a statue as far as it could tell.However, the moment the spider turned, there was a sound like fluttering, followed by a crack, and crunching as Uhat finished his meal. He didn't get visitors very often.He heard another of his kind moving nearby, and covered his eyes again. If he and another looked at each-other... to put it simply, it would not be good.But still, they stayed below. They lived. And they waited. Waited for the day that a meal bigger than a Fikou Spider wandered into their den...

[25K Now!]

IC: Leo Prime/Lio ConvoyThe sword was promptly shot out of Galvatroth's hands, and it landed nearby on the ground. Leo Prime smiled behind his face-plate as he waited for the reaction of the Deceptoa at the fact that he was still alive despite having supposedly fallen to Galvatroth's trap years ago."Long time no see," he remarked, blades flashing into position.

[Krayzikk]

IC: Big ConvoyA slight grin appeared under Big Convoy's faceplate."Hello, Lio. Didn't expect to see you around here."Big Convoy took a few steps away from Galvatroth as he drew his maces.

[25K Now!]

IC: [Lio Convoy]"I heard Galvatroth was nearby. Thought you may have needed some help."

[shadow pridak money gang]

IC: Kellin (Under Xa-Koro)Well, that ain't right.Kellin had followed the tunnel for about a quarter of an hour, taking a small thrill in each twist and turn the stone passageway gave him, anticipating what exactly lay down here in this hellhole of archaic civilizations and the grim skeletons of those who had come before him, their arms still outstretched, as if directing Kellin to discover the reward they had failed to uncover. The Toa of Sonics would gladly oblige them. Of course, he would, if he ever found the bloody way.The tunnel had stopped suddenly, sealed off in a stone wall; Kellin could see dimly through the light seven Matoran letters, emblazoned into the tunnel's end.Nice try.Sighing and shaking his head, Kellin turned around and began to walk back to the room with the doors. Time to try again...-Teezy

[~Xemnas~]

OOC: *cracks knuckles* Okay, my first female character. Let's see if I can do this right...IC, Nilyn: A lone Toa of Lightning walked a long-unused road in the outskirts of the village of crime. Her name was Nilyn, archaeologist extraordinaire. Normally, she wouldn't be in this shanty rundown excuse of a Koro, but these weren't normal circumstances. She walked a bit, and saw her destination. A graveyard, she thought. Graveyards always make me think of myself as a graverobber. She opened the creaky iron gates and let herself in. She took a quick look around, and saw what she was looking for. In one of the farthest corners of the cemetary was a small mausoleum with a stylized letter X at its peak. Nilyn strode over to it. The door had been busted open, revealing a set of stairs into a dark underworld. Someone's been here. Recently, she thought. Hopefully this place won't be empty like all the others. Nilyn quickly checked herself for her supplies. Pickaxe? Check. Shovel? Check. Matches? Check. Rope? Check. Map? Nilyn had acquired the map a few days ago from a suspicious-looking trader in the heart of the Xa-Koro marketplace. It was a detailed plan of what lay beneath the Koro. She hoped that it would lead her to something wothwhile. She stepped into the doorway (or what was left of it), took out a match, and lit one of the torches that was on the wall. The Toa of Lightning removed the torch, took a deep breath, and walked down the stairs into the dark abyss.OOC: Did I do everything right?

[Axilus Prime]

IC: Galvatroth growled. ". Starscream, hurry up with that fool Magnus. We're both fighting doubletime now." Then came addressing the newcomer. "So you survived. I should have been there myself. But perhaps I can make up for lost time...a reunion." He shot flames at Lio Convoy while shooting laser vision at Big Convoy, and reached out for his sword with his left hand, all at the same time. OOC: What's in the zamor launchers?

[25K Now!]

OOC: It's just solid spheres.IC: [Lio Convoy]"Sounds good to me," replied Lio, moving out of the way of the flames and firing several more spheres at Galvatroth.
