The Asylum - IC Topic

[Nato G]

IC: Scriva.

 

Gotcha.... it was using psionics again. She struck out with her own powers, hoping to catch the creature mid-rant. 

[IcarusBen]

GM IC Nyhe:

Nyhe was furious. Well, let's see... what was it weak to?

 

Oh, right, freaky mind powers.

 

Nyhe flicked another switch on the device, changing it's glow to a deep purple.

 

"Sorry, Scriva, but I'm gonna have to zap a little of your brain away. Just for a second."

 

She hoped that Scriva's reduced brainpower at this moment wouldn't let her remember what Nyhe had done.

 

The Excelsior could tap into the implant of anyone and drain a small amount of their power. Sadly, since Scriva was the only Ce-Toa in the room, Nyhe'd have to make do.

 

"EAT PSIONICS!"

 

Nyhe fired the weapon again, this time in a purple stream of energy that seemed to grab hold of the monster. Hopefully, if it worked, it'd reduce the Monster to a blabbering pile of idiocy.

 

"Everyone, start firing!"

Sadly, Halmos seemed to be right in this case. Not that he was gloating to himself about it.

 

The creature was only pinned in place by the gun, only now it had focused all its energy on manipulating sound. Suddenly, the words "Die, BRAKAS!" Seemed to come from her mouth, and the unmistakable sound of metal structures collapsing was heard. The ceiling seemed to groan and crack.

[The UltimoScorp]

Ic Kotak:

 

"Fade! We might need some gravity here!"

 

Hopefully the security officer would actually help this time.

 

Kotak was not looking to be buried by a ceiling today.

 

He slammed his hand on the ground, and the room dropped in temperature by five degrees and ice spread from his hands, reinforcing the groaning metal. It would help, but it wouldn't hold on it's own.

[Nato G]

OOC: Totally forgot Fade was there....

 

IC: Fade.

 

"I don't take orders from you, prisoner," he spat, reaching for his radio, "this is Fade. The monster is here at the Siphon Room. Send in the karzing Vahki!" 

[The UltimoScorp]

Ic Kotak:

 

"Not an order, Fade! the Karzed ceiling is gonna collapse again if you don't help, and I really don't want a repeat incident of last time!"

[Snelly]

IC: Lana

 

This wasn't good. The ceiling was threatening to collapse upon us, so I did the only thing I could, I created pillars of stone that reached from the floor to the ceiling, had to buy us time.

 

"Less arguing more killing the monster!"

[Nato G]

IC: Scriva.

 

She came out of her trance, momentarily dazed. "What happened?"

[IcarusBen]

GM IC Nyhe:

How couldn't it have worked? 

 

"Fade, we need some anti-gravity over here!"

[Nato G]

IC: Fade.

 

"Yes doc," he cursed, dropping the radio and focusing his powers. 

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Kotak:

 

"You've got to be kidding me," he muttered, standing once more, and sending a new blast of icy shards at the creature, aiming to impale it, to hold it still.

[IcarusBen]

GM IC Nyhe and the gun:

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

 

No! Don't die on me...

 

"Eh, Scriva? Sorry 'bout this."

 

Poor girl. She's gonna be feeling pretty cruddy after this.

 

Nyhe reactivated the mini-siphon inside Excelsior, recharging the batteries of the weapon so that it could fire longer.

 

"Guys, keep firing!"

The boiling anemic blood in his veins told him to investigate the LOUD NOISES, to find the sweet, tender young Toa and to eat them.

 

How many days had it been since he arrived here? Two?

 

How many days had it been since he had last seen her? A hundred?

 

It was at least that many, for he had met her long before before he was him it was getting too hard and it was becoming too hard to hold back to resist he was going to find her and and and and and and question mark his mind goes blank it cant be spoke it cant be written mercury swirling hexagrams and obscenely revolving triangles type/different death new death the old is killed as rotting black eyed dead insects burrow through the old him

 

He makes his way to the Siphon, where it had all begun so many twos of days ago.

[Ghidora131]

GM IC

 

 

Suddenly there was a loud and deafening crack. Lana's pillars rose into the air, having just cracked the ceiling to the siphon room. Huge chunks of the ceiling rained down, layered with frost on the inside as they scraped the outside of the siphon. Halmos nearly screamed at the sight of it getting damaged.

 

The groans, cracks and crumbling earlier had been a blind. Lana had just broken the ceiling.

 

 

"Ha! I knew you would fall for that! you will not stop the process. I will bide more time."

 

It quickly teleported out of the area through a portal in the floor, the psionic waves it left as it did so snapping Scriva back into reality. The gun had done little more than annoy it, and Halmos was either infuriated or crying. Two small red eyes peered from a hole in the back of the room.

 

"You want me so badly," The creature boomed to all, before sending the ending of its sentence and a strong sense of its new location - Halmos' office - to Scriva. "come and get me."

[Nato G]

IC: Scriva.

 

"With pleasure...." pausing to snatch up one of the rifles - just in case - Scriva took off towards Halmos' office. 

[Ghidora131]

GM IC

 

 

"Wait!" Halmos barked/pleaded, grabbing her shoulder and swinging her around. "Where did it go? we-"

 

One of the odd Toa, seemingly unaware of the Vahki that arrived behind him, was standing behind the door. "What do you want?"

[Nato G]

IC: Scriva.

 

The moment Halmos spun her around, he found the barrel of Scriva's rifle pointed at his chest. "Don't touch me again," she warned, "it's time to finish this." She turned away from Halmos, and moved to shove past #135 and the Vahki.

[Snelly]

IC: Lana

 

"We don't have time to wait, for all the monster's gloating I don't believe he's as powerful as he makes himself out to be. Otherwise he would have killed us all by now." With a rifle in hand I followed Scriva, not even looking at the Vahki.

Mixing together.

Progressively mixing together.

This unknown voice and my breath synchronize and harmonize.

[what is this?]

I'm about to merge with him.

I am going to fuse with him.

Strange, "strange?"

What are you, "what are you?"

"Ah-" The torrent breaks through.

It's flowing, no, I'm picking it up. The thing's knowledge, of a level so far beyond that of ours, is picked up by me.

 

Yes, we about to are about to merge. The fusion between me and him had already begun. It was eight years ago, the white summer day. Empty shells of insects, feasting ants. Someone's sudden death. The gravitation, naturally, towards extreme pain. Spurting blood, going into shock. Shrinking field of vision, nothing but darkness. Nothing but crimson, the crisis of stillbirth, cutting up the mother when the child is yet born and sampling the flesh of         in this cruel world

 

Ah.

 

Where were we now?

[The UltimoScorp]

Ic Kotak:

 

"Nyhe, lets go! "

 

He rushed out after the others, sword at the ready.

[Timageness]

IC: "Five-Knuckled" Sal - Hallways

Being the last one of the group to emerge from the room containing the Siphon, the monster had already disappeared long before Sal could even arrive on the scene. Cursing silently at her inability to act, she immediately began rushing after Lana and Kotak, intending to help bring this thing down once and for all.

[IcarusBen]

GM IC Nyhe:

"Scriva! Get back here!"

 

Nyhe threw Excelsior to the ground, although it thankfully only got a few scuff marks on it. She grabbed a rifle from the locker and chased after Scriva.

 

"Halmos, follow me!"

 

EDIT OOC: Nyhe got a little dizzy after she chased herself.

This had better, better not end in another section of the place being destroyed.

 

Halmos skidded past excelsior, intending to dive a knife into Scriva dare she talk to him in that tone again.

[Tea-rex]

IC: Iyanu

The toa turned around to see a gun butt heading towards him. He quickly moved his head aside and then made a move to grab Akada's arm under his arm.

"Do you think that matters to me?" He replied.

[Snelly]

IC: Lana

 

Maybe we should use Halmos as bait... I thought to myself, the monster certainly didn't seem to have any love for the doctor, it could work.

[Nato G]

IC: Scriva.

 

She continued in the direction she sensed the monster to be in. "Halmos!" she called weakly over her shoulder, trying not to burst into laughter, "It's in your office."

[Snelly]

IC: Lana

 

"Oh , I guess your office is screwed." I did laugh. 

[IcarusBen]

GM IC Nyhe:

Even Nyhe, who, even by Toa standards, was usually stoic in the face of danger, couldn't help but laugh, having to pause to compose herself.

 

"Halmos, you're gonna need new carpeting. And wallpaper. And furniture. And a new office."

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Kotak:

 

He grinned, and gave an apologetic glance back to Halmos that may or may not have been genuine.

 

Then he kicked in the door, shield up, and moved inside.

[Timageness]

IC: "Five-Knuckled" Sal - Hallways

Sal cracked a smile.

"Yup; bye-bye office," she said, opening up the launcher attached to her rifle momentarily to display the frag grenade already stuffed inside. "Especially after I start firing these puppies in there."

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

IC: Kovika

Kovika ran out the door, going in the direction where everyone else had run off to, to Hamlos' office, rifle loaded. At the door he asked "How tough is this thing exactly?"

[Nato G]

IC: Caetus - Cell.

 

Caetus continued being dead.

[Ghidora131]

GM IC

 

 

When he was close enough, Halmos whispered to Kovika "You're an idiot." Had he not seen the thing withstand the most powerful attack excelsior could manage? Or trick Lana into breaking the siphon room? also, Scriva had better keep her mouth shut or she'll be getting worse scars than-

 

Oh my.

 

 

 

Kotak bursting the door in led to another monstrous sight, but by now, everyone was sure it wouldn't be the last. On the floor was a young Ta-Toa guard, dying, drowning in his knife, which had gone through the back of his neck. The monster had its back turned. It had tore the top off of Halmos' desk and was rummaging inside. At the acknowledgement that someone was behind it, it whirled around. And that was the monstrosity they were waiting for.

 

The head of the creature was more that dead; it had begun to decay. In its place was a slick, yellow head resembling some twisted reptile. It had one eye, a bulbous red one that seemed to originate from the inside of its mouth. It stayed on the left side of its head.

 

Every limb joint had a bulbous yellow spot on it, sickening the party even more. "Don't harm the carpet." In one moment it launched a bolt of plasma at Sal's grenade launcher. The grenades might have gone off, but it had only hit the barrel, melting the tip to the point that no projectile could get through. "Ha ha ha. You will not stop me during my business. If you wish to die before the glory occurs, please, attack."

 

 

 

"I believe it does," Akada said as he wrenched his arm out of Iyanu's grasp. "when the security and staff is the only thing preventing a rampaging monster from destroying the entire population of the asylum." He looked back to the Vahki, wjhich had resorted to0 slamming into each other as a form of combat. He wanted to groan.

[Snelly]

IC: Lana

 

" you're ugly." I aimed at his face and opened fire with my rifle. I assumed the others would do the same.

IC: Iyanu

The toa laughed.

"So? How does that affect me? I don't mean to be rude, but-"

A large explosion shook the place. The toa tilted his head.

"You appear to have bigger problems." A grin spread across his face.

[IcarusBen]

GM IC Nyhe:

Nyhe, while not skilled in firearms, could aim pretty well. She pointed the gun at the monster and pulled the trigger.

 

But then, she got an idea.

 

"Aim for the big yellow things!"

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

IC: Kovika

"Finally we have a sensible plan besides shoot it until it dies!" Kovika proceeded to aim his rifle and fire at the large yellow bulbous things, firing bullet after bullet.

[Timageness]

IC: "Five-Knuckled" Sal - Halmos' Office

Sal began firing the rifle in controlled bursts as the plasma melted through the barrel of the grenade launcher attachment, preventing her from firing off that as well. Unfortunately for the monster, its own attack gave her an idea.

Ducking back outside of the doorway, she tore open the busted device, ripping out the unharmed grenade before taking the rest of her frags off of her person.

"I'd get down if I were you!" she yelled above the gunfire before leaning back inside the room just long enough to toss them inside.

As they continued to fly through the air, she steadied her hand and fired off a bolt of electricity towards one of the explosive rounds, detonating them in a daisy chain formation as they approached the creature's face.

"#### your carpets, Brakas!" she shouted, pulling herself back behind cover and covering her ears as she waited for the dust to settle so she could once again continue firing.
