Corpus Rahkshi

[Akavakaku]

IC Mahrika

Gymnasium

 

Mahrika noticed an insectoid-faced Rahkshi sitting by the edge of the gymnasium. With a thought, he instructed the gym to clean up his remaining practice targets, then approached the Rahkshi.

 

"Care for a spar?"

IC: Mantis

 

Mantis glanced up in surprise.

"A... spar? Of course." Mantis stood, inspected his opponent, and bowed respectfully. Then he waited to see what the Rahk would do next.

IC: Revenge-Infirmary

 

"Rider!" Revenge called out, louder this time.

IC: Raptor

 

Raptor finished the book and slammed it shut. He knew exactly who he had to find.

He checked the gym. Nope.

He checked the refectory. Nada.

He checked the halls. Null.

He checked the infirmary. There they were.

"Rider! Revenge! Dudes! CHECK THIS OUT!" he shouted, oblivious to the countless patients surrounding him.

"OW! Do you mind?" Revenge said.  Raptor's yelling was giving him a headache.

[Akavakaku]

IC Mahrika

Gymnasium

 

Mahrika bowed back to Mantis, a little awkwardly. He wasn't used to bowing. Then he stepped back and folded his arms.

 

"Before we start, though, let's settle on some rules. One, no changing the arena mid-battle. It makes it too complicated. Two, either of us can quit at any time. Three, don't try to go past your limit. That okay?"

[user-402520536]

IC: Mantis

 

"Yes. Absolutely. That is the most honorable path. Thank you for clarifying." Mantis motioned that he was ready to start.

 

IC: Raptor

 

"Oh, whoopsie! Good thing I'm not a Power Screamer! But you guys should really see this!" Raptor quieted only a bit.

IC: Jayar / Infirmary

 

 

"Would you please refrain from your use of excessive volume?" Jayar reprimanded Raptor. "There are patients in here trying to rest, and healers eager to allow them to do so. I'm sure Revenge will tell you that Palma does not take kindly to the disruption of her patients."

[In Between the Shadows]

IC: Zelnos | Infirmary

 

Zelnos had just finished healing Claws (or to the best of his abilities?) when Raptor came into the infirmary... yelling.

"Do you mind keeping it down?"

Revenge nodded at Jayar's statement.

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

IC: Shark / Gym

 

 

Shark made it a personal policy never to show pain, but this policy was stretched to its limits when two of Zex' knives embedded into him: one in his left arm, and one in his torso. Even as Zex threw them, he brought his sword down from above Zex' head where he had conveniently pushed it. It would be too small a time frame for him to dodge, and if he tried to block it the heavier, moving sword would likely push his own sword into his face.

IC: Raptor

 

"Sorry dudes, but my buddies gotta see this." He showed the book to Revenge, muttering something about Rahkshi anatomy.

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

IC: Sidonas - Outside Squid's Dorm

 

"Hello?" Sidonas called again, he knocked one more time and waited there, adding only: "Someone left food outside your door, it looks like fruit."

Maybe he'll respond to food at his door..

Sidonas then was silent, waiting to see if anyone was beyond the door.

Recoil, I hope you're having better luck than me. Sidonas thought.

 

OOC: Your go Pohatu:MoS.

IC: Revenge-Infirmary

 

Revenge rubbed his head, sat up to read what Raptor had brought, breathed a sigh, than laid back down.

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

IC: Jayar / Infirmary

 

 

"If your friends need to see it, why do you shout it to the furthest strangers?" mused Jayar quietly, mostly to himself. At the mention of sight he took notice of the fact that Rider's seemed rather damaged.

 

"You're Rider, correct?" he said, after walking over to him. "Am I correct in inferring you have suffered damage to your vision?"

[Khromatose]

IC: Alpha/1st Person/Infirmary

I stood there as some guy approached Rider and Revenge.

"Uh...do you know that Rider is blind right now?" I said to Raptor.

 

IC: The Trinity Brothers/3rd Person/Gym

They were practicing for a while and decided to take a short break.

"Whoa, wait, what?" Raptor's brain did a barrel roll.

IC: Fang - Hallways

 

"Selfishness?!" Fang roared. He reeled on Exxan, nearly dropping Vaalku in the process. "I tried to save Dodge in the first assignment, and my only thanks was the lightblaster! I stopped Caoutchouc from beating Vaalku, only to be defeated in his stead! Do not speak to me about selfishness! You killed the best Rahkshi in this school to save your own skin!"

 

Fang was quivering with anger, and his armor began to glow with plasma. Caoutchouc's words still echoed in his head. Selfish. Greedy. Prideful.

 

He was not. He would prove it.

 

But the many fights he had begun and lost in his own name echoed through the words, telling him it was all true.

IC: Jayar / Infirmary

 

 

Jayar's guess was confirmed unintentionally by Alpha. He looked over to her and then did a double take. His first conclusion was that some greedy Kraata, seeing a muscular empty suit, had traded in theirs for Omega's. But then he recalled what Hoto had told him about Omega's sister, and combined with a glance over at the bed Omega's body was still in, concluded that this must be Alpha.

 

He hadn't really known Omega, so there was little for him to say. He gave a nod and turned back to the blinded Rider, waiting for his response nevertheless.

IC Mahrika

Gymnasium

 

Mahrika narrowed his eyes, taking in Mantis's stance and the kamas he wielded. His mind made up, he stepped forward and took a sweep towards Mantis's chest with the head of the trident, using it like a Rahkshi staff.

[Nato G]

IC: Illusive - Phantom-on-the-Water.

 

The second killing was harder. I needed there to be witnesses this time. There was no point in killing the Matoran unless they knew that a Rahkshi was responsible, so I followed the sound of Matoran voices until I found myself closer to the village's heart, in the very same main square where we'd started the Wreck the Halls assignment. 

 

Perfect. 

 

There were a half-dozen Matoran there, conversing in hushed tones, as well as a few others, speaking much louder, who walked along alone or in pairs. A normal evening in Phantom-in-the-Water, but not for much longer. 

 

I projected an illusion of myself in the middle of the square, and all chaos broke loose. Running.... screaming.... weapons firing. One Matoran fell dead with a smoking hole in her face before I'd even had a chance to enter the fray. 

 

A disk launcher-toting Matoran rushed past my position and I stepped out of hiding, impaling them on Serpent-Fang. Another spotted me and flung himself after me, sword drawn. I caught the blade in my claws and snapped it, before swiping my blade across his face, shattering his mask. By now, the other Matoran had realised the illusion was a fake, and were heading straight for me. 

 

Something thudded into my shoulder and I stumbled back in surprise, staring at the crossbow bolt embedded in my armour. Time to go.... I ducked a Kanoka and took to the air, leaving the village behind. 

 

Three deaths were enough for one night's work....

IC: Exxan - Hallway.

 

I thought we were past this.... I rounded on Fang and regarded him coldly, arms folded across my chest - he didn't seem to have even noticed that both of my arms were free now.

 

"You think you're some hero then, do you?" I spat, choosing not to take the bait with his mention of Omega. "You're just deluding yourself. You said it just now when you complained that you didn't get any thanks for what you did."

 

My voice was empty, devoid of emotion. "If you were really acting selflessly, you wouldn't expect thanks of any kind, Fang. Whether you choose to believe it or not, we're all the same." 

[user-402520536]

IC: Mantis

 

Mantis arranged his weapons in a cross-like shape, shielding his chest and giving himself room to slide behind his opponent. He lunged for his opening, keeping a kama to his side just in case.

IC: Fang - Hallway

 

"I know!"

 

His anger and heat suddenly vanished with the words. "I know," he repeated in a whisper. He turned and walked off to the Infirmary.

 

 

IC: Rain - Squid's Dorm

 

Rain rolled her eyes as the Rahk outside knocked again. The food was new, but they had plenty of that in Squid's bag. She silently continued with her work, not wanting to be disturbed. But of course, Squid would have to say something.

IC Poly:

 

We smiled.

 

"Only as long as you deem neccesary."

 

~this one is easily molded~

 

*he is perfect*

 

No. Not perfect. He lacks vision. But he will do if the others fail me.

[Nato G]

IC: Exxan - Hallway.

 

"Fang... get back here..." I started after him, "...you can't run forever." I caught his shoulder and tried to turn him around. "Sooner or later you have to face who and what you are, and come to terms with it. If you don't.... you'll destroy yourself...." 

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Kat: "just rumors. But from what I've heard, we all retain our own thoughts an feelings, we just.,. Get more."

 

I shrugged.

 

"Like I said, dunno much."

[user-402520536]

OOC: Akavakaku, I have to go for Karate real soon, so no continuing Mantis and Mahrika's fight until tomorrow. Sorry, but real life and stuff.

IC: Tube - Causeway

 

Tube took the offered hand and pulled themself up. Now, with a new master, their usual excitement was returning. "I'm Tube!" they said, shaking the hand.

 

 

IC: Fang - Hallway

 

Fang shrugged off the hand and kept walking. "Then what am I?" he asked without turning around.

 

 

IC: Hoto - Courtyard

 

Hoto turned to Era. "What do you know about Kaita, then?" 

 

She had seemed to know more than Hoto and Kat, maybe she could help.

With a bow of our head, we replied in turn.

 

"A pleasure, brother Tube. We are Legion."

"Three minds in one body," I shrugged, "I don't know much more than that. We'll be more powerful. A lot more powerful."

Shark made it a personal policy never to show pain, but this policy was stretched to its limits when two of Zex' knives embedded into him: one in his left arm, and one in his torso. Even as Zex threw them, he brought his sword down from above Zex' head where he had conveniently pushed it. It would be too small a time frame for him to dodge, and if he tried to block it the heavier, moving sword would likely push his own sword into his face.

IC: Zex

 

Zex had pushed the flat side of the sword above his head. A heavy sword would be hard to keep steady so he attempted to push the large sword aside and down to the ground.

 

OOC: 2 in Shark, 7 on floor, 11 in bag.

IC: Hoto - Courtyard

 

"Is it worth it then?" Hoto asked, softly. "All that power, just for a few little tips?"

 

 

IC: Fang - Hallways

 

"I'll tell you what I am, then. You're right. Caoutchouc's right. Everyone here is right, except me! I'm no hero, I'm just a selfish, prideful, wrath-filled Rahkshi who cares more about his crazy ideas than anyone else."

 

 

IC: Tube - Causeway

 

Tube cocked his head to one side. "Lee-jun... that's a funny name. Oh, oh, oh, this is is Whak! She's nice."

"I guess that's up to you," this had been my idea, but I didn't want to pressure Hoto into anything. Last time hadn't gone too well....

Wrong! He was only looking at the negatives. I gave Fang a sly grin. "Everyone else? Even Kat?"

"I... I don't know. What if we... have trouble controlling it... and... Am I worrying too much?"

Fang paused for an almost imperceptible moment. "...Maybe."

IC Kat:

 

"It'll be us three. If we aren't in unity, it will simply fall back into the three parts."

 

I shrugged.

 

"Or so I've heard."

 

I placed a hand on Hoto's arm.

 

"I give you my word it will be okay."

 

 

IC Poly: We bowed slightly to the other, called Whak?

 

"There is much to be done, my new friend. To ensure the well being of the school, we must free the students from their own chains."

IC Mahrika

Gymnasium

 

With his trident deflected out of the way by Mantis's defense, Mahrika tried to block his strike by grabbing Mantis's wrist with his free hand, then swept up the trident into a more defensive position in case Mantis attacked with the other kama.

 

OOC: Works fine for me, I have some IRL things to do.

"I don't think so. You do care about her, otherwise she wouldn't be wearing your necklace." I said pointedly, before adding (because he somehow still hadn't noticed): "Or cutting my arm loose."

"It's like what I said to Hoto back on Malebranche," I spoke up, "we need to at least try." 

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

IC: Shark / Gym: Zex' Enclosure

 

 

That wasn't going to work. The blade might be hard to hold steady, but it was easy to rotate so that the edge faced Zex. It was equally easy to swing down in a straight line simply by complying with gravity's desires, and once it was going gravity's brother inertia, and Shark's great strength, wasn't going to let it be knocked far aside. Despite Zex pressing against it, it was inevitably going to land upon his head or at least his shoulder.

 

 

OOC: I don't expect Zex to find any way out of this one, but not going to autohit him... Just keep in mind, it's a heavy sword being swung downwards at impressive speeds. And you already used the short time you did have to try escape.

IC: Sidonas - Outside Squid's Dorm

 

Sidonas, beginning to get impatient, called: "If you are interested in creating diplomatic relations with the Matoran of Phantom-On-The-Water, go to the 3rd dorm from the right in the East hall. Good day." At that he leaned against the wall parallel to the Squid's dorm and quickly wrote some notes, they read what he had said to Squid. He then went to the Refectory and placed a note at the entrance. Then he stuck one at the entrance to the Gym as he walked by. He went to the library and took a seat, pulling out his Codex and turning to his log, he wrote in his encrypted format.

 

"Recoil and I have, well, gotten together. I have sent fresh fruit to a my fellow Rahk as repayment for my thieveries, and I am planning negotiations with the Nynrah Ghosts of Phantom-On-The-Water. How we shall manage diplomacy, I will never know..
