Corpus Rahkshi

[Wyrd Bid Ful Araed]

IC: Suvak grimaced, "I had heard rumours, but not had time to consult Palma. Thought it would only have been one death, but the rumours went all the way up to a dozen so I suppose it could have been worse. Who were they?" he asked, "The two who died?"

[Pohatu: Uniter of Stone]

IC: Squid

 

Squid was confused. He knew she was being sarcastic, but didn't know what she meant.

"What do you mean? I think you are quite likeable."

IC: Mantis

 

This... was taking too long. What if he was wrong, and the blue Rahkshi hadn't committed he murders? Mantis might've been wasting time by standing around. He let out a few high-pitched chirps and was soon surrounded by some small insect Rahi. Mantis started to converse with them, asking them to check out what was happening around the enclosure.

When they returned, Mantis's eyes - all five of them - widened when he heard of the peephole.

 

OOC: This isn't metagaming, right? If it is, I'll change it.

My shoulders sagged, and I sank to the floor next to Kat. "What have we done?"

"I knew one of them: Silencer. His brother was the one who found you in the last assignment. I don't know who the other was." 

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

IC: Sidonas - Dorm

 

After handing the template to Recoil, Sidonas turned his Codex's pages to his log, where he started writing his thoughts on the most recent matters.

 

"Sidonas' Log: Entry 17

 

Someone left posters all over the school slandering Palma, Suvak, and Tridax. I have yet to find the culprit, but am instead deciding on gathering up any who would like to speak with the Nynrah Ghosts on making commerce again. To do so I am organizing to put up some posters around the school, speaking of the good the staff have done instead of slandering them. Who could do such a thing?"

 

After finishing that, he turned to Recoil.

"So, any thoughts on the design? Positive? Negative? Neutral?"

[Timageness]

IC: Rail - Gym

Rail watched on as the creature dissolved into three students.

So that was a Kaita...

The realisation couldn't have come at a worse time. If a student uprising were to occur, throwing Kaita into the mix would only lead to more casualties. He needed to locate Xara.

Now.

He soon caught sight of her and immediately proceeded to interupt whatever thoughts were crossing her mind.

"We need to talk," he said as he approached. "It's urgent."

[Nato G]

IC: Xara - Gym. 

 

"Rail?" I looked at him suspiciously. "You've calmed down, I hope?" 

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

IC: Jayar / Gym-->Empty Dorm Wing

 

 

Jayar gently took Hoto's hand and led her out of the Gym. Was the crowd of Rahkshi in the Gym staring at him? Probably. Did he care? No. What did it matter what they thought? He wouldn't have done anything different if the whole of the Brotherhood of Makuta were watching.

 

Soon they arrived in the empty dorm wing. He found the solitude was refreshing after the insanity of the Gym. He hoped Hoto would feel the same.

 

"Here we are," he declared quietly, though Hoto surely already knew. "Alone again." He wondered if there was anything better he might say, but he wasn't here to be an analyst, he was here to be a friend. It might be so much easier if he could form a Kaita with her, experience a melding of minds, but that wasn't going to happen. Not after what just did... He wouldn't force anything like that on Hoto again. But he couldn't help but wish it had been him in the Kaita rather than Kat, for Hoto's sake and his own.

 

The next closest thing to the mental embrace required to create a Kaita was the physical embrace of a hug. Jayar wrapped his arms around Hoto again.

 

 

IC: Shark / Gym

 

 

"Are we now?" said Shark. "Attack me. Make it look like we're sparring." He unsheathed his sword.

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Kat:

 

I looked at Era.

 

These were my squad.

 

These were my friends. I couldn't just sit here.

 

Even so, my voice was more a sigh than anything else.

 

"We....we made a bad call. And we have to live with that."  Got to my feet, putting a hand on era's shoulder.

 

"Hoto has a good head on her shoulders, and Jayar takes good care of people." I looked back at Xara.

 

Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh on her.

 

Karz

 

I walked back over, but Rail got there before me.

 

Double Karz.

[Nato G]

IC: Illusive - Gym.

 

I'd seen the Kaita. Quite impressive. Now that one had succeeded, others would try. As if tensions weren't high enough in this school..... the timing was quite literally perfect. All the school needed was a little shove to send it over the edge....

 

It just so happened that I'd brought that shove with me.

 

Summoning up a wall to block me from sight, I pinned a final note to the inside of the gym, just beside the entrance, before slinking away into the halls once more. My previous notes had been intended to foment chaos. This one was a call to arms.

 

The time has come to end the death. 

Those of you who are willing to stand up and fight agaisnt Corpus Rahkshi's tyranny, come to the Causeway at sundown. 

There we shall begin our fight for freedom.

"But... that would be like lying. Forgive me, I have to refuse." Mantis shook his head sorrowfully and slunk out of sight of where he thought the peephole was to wait and see what happened next.

[PhoenixFireBlaze]

IC: Zex - Gym

 

I was looking through the peephole and see a wall blocking the entrance and me from the vision of the rahkshi who were spying on me. As a rahkshi was pinning some kind of note I escape my enclosure and behind the wall and out the gym. By the time the wall disappeared I would be gone.

 

OOC: Is that too much?

IC: Mantis

 

Another of the insects returned. This one said that the enclosure was now... empty.

"The blue Rahkshi has escaped!" Mantis used his mind and, sure enough, it came down without resistance. No one was there... except for a wall with a note.

[PhoenixFireBlaze]

This didn't happen.

OOC: There is no way Shark would not have noticed you leaving. Please give me a chance to respond before ninja'ing me and flying all the way to Nynrah.

 

 

IC: Shark / Gym-->Hallway

 

 

Shark nodded to Mantis as he left, then continued to cut down training dummies while keeping a close eye on the enclosure and the Gym doors. Sure enough, he soon noticed Bluespine trying to sneak out.

 

No such luck, bluespine. Shark raced after him, using his powers to completely silence his footsteps. Upon finally reaching him he brought the flat side of his sword down hard on his head from behind. There would be no warning, for his steps were silent, and it was powerful enough a blow to knock his victim unconscious should it connect as it undoubtedly would.

She grinned, almost imperceptibly. It wasn't mischievous or spiteful this time.

 

"You think that guy liked me? I tolerate you 'cause you're nice enough."

 

 

IC: Hoto - Empty Dorm Wing

 

Hoto hugged Jayar back. It was so silent here. There was no one looking on in judgment.

 

"I'm sorry," she whispered. The words were becoming so worn now. She always felt as if there was something to apologize for. "I... I panicked."

IC: Pyre - Halls

 

Karzsdkfjaskdfj. The wall I was leaning on disappeared again. I began chasing after the one who escaped from inside the wall who I assumed was the rahk who deleted the wall. Only to find him being hit on the back of the head with a sword and being knocked out. The area was silent so I knew there was a silence rahkshi using its powers.

 

Fighting is only for the gym. And this Karz head deleted the wall I was leaning on twice. I wanted to beat him up.

 

Then I notice the bag. The same bag the rahkshi I was fighting with earlier had.

 

What? Did he steal that bag? I need to talk to this rahkshi!

 

I silently run up to the rahk who hit the rahkshi in the head and attempt to slice at its hamstrings with my plasma hot scythes which would make that rahk unable to stand, a technique I saw in another battle in the gym.

IC: Mantis

 

Mantis saw the second one coming, and by his movements he could tell he hadn't been spotted. "I do not want to do this, but we have enough interference as is." Mantis didn't care if he was silent. He lashed out with a kick aimed at the unsuspecting Rahkshi's back, only powerful enough to knock him down.

I get kicked and fall and roll over, at the same time I activate my plasma coating and try to slash at the rahkshi who attacked the net weilder's hamstrings again as I roll. There would be no dodging it as he still would not have noticed me due to lack of sound.

Mantis pulled out his Kamas and slashed at Pyre's own weapons, trying to disarm him. If only he could talk some sense into him instead...

[PhoenixFireBlaze]

I pulled my arms back making the kamas miss. I carve into the floor with my searing hot scythes: "I need to see the bluespine rahkshi. He may have stolen something from a rahkshi I know."

Mantis saw the Rahkshi at his feet moving his mouth. He stepped back, allowing him to stand, but kept his Kamas ready just in case.

IC: Green

Just how stupid was she?

 

She was going out on a solo expedition, but she forgot to bring FOOD??? She had only made it a short time before she had to return due to hunger; she had avoided Phantom-on-the-Water due to the fact that the Matoran there probably wouldn't accept any Rahkshi.

 

Shame. She had hoped to get some new insects.

 

"I can't honestly be this stupid..."

 

Some time later...

 

 

The time has come to end the death.

Those of you who are willing to stand up and fight agaisnt Corpus Rahkshi's tyranny, come to the Causeway at sundown.

And what exactly was this?

 

Green stared curiously at the note attached to the inside of the gym entrance. What exactly had happened while she had been gone?

 

"What... What exactly did you guys do while I was away?"

[Khromatose]

IC: Alpha, Bullseye, Toxin, Stronghold, and Punch/Counterpunch/3rd Person/Gym ---> Various Places.

Toxin, Stronghold, and Punch decided to go and see if Bullseye's alright. Punch went one way, and the brothers went another.

 

Punch stopped by the library to see if he was there. After he confirmed that Bullseye wasn't there, he decided to leave. He then encountered a brawl that the brothers and him missed because of a field of Silence. He saw two Rahkshi getting beat by two other Rahkshi. He stood behind to see what would happen.

~Unfair.~ said Counter in his mind.

*I agree.*

 

Toxin and Stronghold found Bullseye with Alpha at the infirmary, and after confirming his mental state, which Bullseye said he was fine, they went to rest in their dorms.

I walk between the fallen body of the rahkshi and the sword wielding one.

 

How did that rahkshi get his hands on the bag of another rahkshi. And why was he snuck up on and knocked out?

 

I mouthed the words, "We need to talk."

Mantis's nodded and motioned to Titan, who was the only one who could be generating the field. Then a horrible realization struck him. At the scene of the massacre, there had been a discarded Rahkshi target, no doubt used by the Matoran. That meant... someone had interfered with the Matoran previously. He fingered the note he had found posted to the wall earlier. He quickly jotted down 'Titan, you can probably take this Rahkshi to the library for the trial. I think I might have figured something out.' in the dirt and ran off, back to his dorm.

"Stop apologizing for everything," said Jayar said to Hoto, still in his arms, gently but firmly. "There are Rahkshi in this school who have a lot to be sorry for," Exxan sprang to mind, followed by the mysterious grey and purple murderer of Silencer, "but gentle ones like you are not among them. You panicked. What of it? We all panic from time to time. If I thought there was anything wrong with that, I should be the one apologizing."

Shark deactivated the silence field. "Fine. Speak." he said to Pyre, putting on the vocal guise of a justice-driven warrior.

Despite his desperation of before, Fang did not follow them. His eyes were fixed to the note written by an unknown hand. Besides, Rider had Bullseye and Alpha now. He would be fine.

 

First Omega...

 

Three are dead...

 

They had friends who miss them, who mourn them. Yet the Staff takes no action...

 

Stand up for yourselves... fight... the beings who keep you trapped here.

 

Those could have been his own words, not that long ago. When he was full of bitterness towards everything. Since then, he'd learned his lessons. He had fought, and lost, and... loved. But what had changed? He had realized that it was never the Makuta he had hated. It was never those cowardly Rahkshi who stand behind what they know as if they had no minds of their own.

 

It was himself.

 

He had always been the coward, the selfish one, the crazy one. But here was someone else who was thinking. They had come to the same conclusions he had, long ago.

 

He would find them. He would join them.

 

He would prove himself.

 

With a growl, he snatched up the paper from the wall and began searching the school for more. There had to be some way to meet this Rahkshi.

 

He found it just inside the Gym.

 

The time has come to end the death.

That brought a small smile to Hoto's face. "I don't know," she sighed. "When we first formed the Kaita, it was just... incredible. It was hard, at first, but I felt... good afterwards. I tried to tell them we should be careful. I thought they would understand.

 

"I wish you were there, with us. You would understand."

"Agree with it or not, this is only going to bring about more death," the Rahkshi of Magnetism said. "Especially now that everyone and their Makuta will be wanting to go off and form their own Kaita. I'm all for taking a life if I deem it necessary, but this is taking things too far. Whoever wrote this is just begging for us to kill each other en masse."

He then turned his head to the side in order to avoid looking her in the eye.

"And after those two Rahkshi died in that riot I caused earlier... I'm starting to get sick of all of the pointless murder."

"P-p-perhaps. We must f-find her, b-b-before something hap-pens!"

 

Root gallantly strode off through the halls, waving his staff behind him. Where would a sneaky, villainous book-burner keep a fair maiden? Perhaps locked away in the Dormitories! There were many open rooms, if he could not use his own.

 

Root waved back to signal Shield in the same direction.
