IC Kat (Hallway to Knowledge Sector)

 

I watched her go silently.

 

This place was finding all sorts of ways to break me.

 

"Good to see you, too..." I muttered after she was gone.

 

With a sigh, I stooped and picked up the fallen book, headed back to the knowledge sector, replaced the book, and planted myself in front of one of the terminals.

 

OOC: Kat open for interaction.

IC: Omega

When Omega woke up, he immediately thought of ways to make Xara pay. Hmmm.....what if I go get a mech. Then she'll pay. Omega got up, and began making his way to the Engineering sector.

GM IC: EZEZKO - DREAMING

 

The Po-Matoran grinned, sliding a drink down the counter towards Ezezko while tossing a pizza into the oven. After setting a timer, he turned back to the fighter.

 

"Got yourself a nice li'l problem 'ere, eh?" he asked. "What the bloody 'eck do ya do when ya get stuck in a dream an' there's no way out?"

 

 

GM IC: THE SHOPKEEPER - WITH LADY DAJIK

 

The Shopkeeper chortled with amusement, patting his belly as he did so. He wiped a tear from his eye as he replied, "off-menu, eh? I ain't some conspiracy theorist! You wan' info, jus' be polite about it. 'Sall I ask of ya."

 

 

GM IC: KOPEN + XAERAZ

 

Kopen would find herself unable to attach Xaeraz's head back to his body - indeed, if she paid attention to what she was feeling, it was as though she was passing right through part of the body and colliding with something else. Was it a... pair of legs?

 

 

GM IC: NOCTON

 

Two of the six shots passed through the flickering golden figure, doing no damage at all, while the rest missed entirely. 

 

You forget one very important detail, you poor fool, the presence whispered. I am no Makuta.

 

The pressure on Nocton's mind continued to increase; it would feel as though the fighter's head was trying to split apart at the seams. 

 

 

GM IC: NOMEC - BATTLING NOCTON

 

The Toa of Gravity slowly opened one eye, relieved to find that, for now, the flashes of light had stopped. He focused again on Nocton, continuing to increase the pull of gravity; the fighter's armor was beginning to crumple in on itself.

 

 

GM IC: ELITTRA - LOWER HALLS

 

Elittra shrugged as Zakaro seemingly fell asleep, sitting down next to the still-standing Toa and leaning against the wall. 

 

 

GM IC: DREISEN - ENGINEERING

 

Dreisen yawned again as more fighters arrived, filling out their forms. He frowned as one fighter submitted what appeared to be an entire essay, glaring at them as they retreated.

 

I hate this job.

IC: Sesdec - Hallways

 

He gave one last ragged sob before looking up to the Toa with frightened eyes. "I j-j-just w-want t-to go h-h-h-home," said he.

 

 

 

IC: Arkrax - Knowledge Sector

 

He was midway through following a team of Rahkshi dispatching a larger group of assorted beings when he realized one of the Rahkshi was sitting next to him. The box suddenly rose up and flashed, and the glowing Toa was standing behind her. "Contestant ~ Kat," he greeted calmly, as if glowing beings flash into existence and call people by name every day. "Your performance ~ in the previous round was ~ admirable."

 

 

 

IC: Lady Dajik - Commercial Sector

 

"Very well," she said, and her pistol went back into its holster. A puff of smoke followed as the built-up pressure discharged. "I want to know more about this tournament. Its ins and outs, the hosts, and what I can do to win."

 

 

 

IC: Kopen - Queen's Tunnel

 

She slowly lifted the head back and carefully set it aside. "...what?" she gasped. Her echolocation showed Xaeraz's body resting on the ground, but she only felt... two pillars where he should have been. The Being was deceiving her again. Somehow, his powers could even fool her vision.

 

Her clickers fell silent as she remained still. If her vision was wrong, then she would have to resort back to touch. She followed the pillars downward to a pair of wide pedestals, and up to a pair of... joints. They weren't pillars. They were legs. 

 

"Xaeraz... I... I think I found... you," she whispered. And as she stood to try to place his head, she found herself face to face with the rest of him... head attached. "It's... just an illusion."

IC-Ignis

 

The black and white Toa Ignis had once met approached him, and asked him about the previous round.

"Better than the first one, I'd say, I didn't get ganged up on too badly, but I lost to some tracked guy and his exploding boomerang... You?"

As another two beings approached, Ignis welcomed them both in. "There's always room for another!"

 

IC-Harami

 

Whilst drinking her shake and listening to somebody rag on about gem quests, Harami Heard an announcement about Mechs being played over the Intercom. Harami Had been thinking of getting a Mech ever since the end of the round, and now, she had the opportunity to get an edge in battle. She made her way over to the entrance to the Engineering sector, and waited for somebody to let her in.

 

OOC

Ignis interacting with Fishers, Feltzer, Maglev and Thaera. (I think one more candidate will do) Harami Awaiting passage into the Engineering sector.

[Xaeraz]

IC: "An illusion? What?" Xaeraz sounded skeptical to say the least. His head had obviously been cut off. He knew he could survive it due to various countermeasures he had in place, as well as methods to keep his head on his shoulders in case of decapitation...

 

"Kopen, is there any chance you heard a magnetic clamp disengage in the last couple minutes?"

[Makuta Miras]

IC: CinS

 

[unit in near-fully functional condition. Rocket fist is not functional.]

 

CinS heaves its bulk up and begins making its way out of the Med bay, wandering aimlessly.

 

IC: Miras

 

I abruptly release my gravity alteration. Eyes flashing, I reply, "Strange. I am the only Makuta I have known before without particular... aspects of my personality which dictate an irrational fondness of violence and general overconfidence." For a slightly intimidating effect, I form a cloak of shadows behind me, a simple construct to maintain and one which blends seamlessly into the darkness of the corners in the corridor. I extend a clawed hand. "My name is Miras. First of the second spawning of Makuta. I go by few titles, but my most prestigious and, perhaps most tenaciously fought for of those, is emperor of Spherus Magna."

 

IC: Arkie

 

"Ugh." I roll over, flopping onto the floor of my room with a sigh. A disappointing round, with a single KO and, admittedly, a boring one; a single crossbow bolt to kill what wasn't better than a beast is decidedly not engaging. On the plus side, though, my left arm's in better condition than it has been for the past few months. 

 

...

 

I'm hungry.

 

I get back up, grab my crossbow and head out to the Commercial Sector in search of food.

 

OOC: Arkie, CinS, Haarnak and Vorzin open for interaction.

IC: Kopen - Queen's Tunnel

 

She paused and thought back through everything. It would be impossible to remember a single sound while she was occupied fighting Cyarc, but... she was reasonably sure there was nothing. "No... I... I don't think so... But look, you're right here, in front of me! You didn't lose your head, I can hear it right on top of your shoulders!"

[Specter Knight]

IC-Severain

 

Emperor of Spherus Magna...? This guy might be attempting to be intimidating, but Severain wasn't going to be fazed by this opponent. "Pleasure to meet you, Miras..." He mused, before extending his wings to their full length. "I am Lord Severain the God-slayer, Ravager of Ta-Koro, And the Greatest Makuta in the universe!... Or at least mine, anyway."

 

OOC

I think this is just going to be a battle about who can Out-intimidate people. I'd like to see someone else cut in and make a snarky comment on how ridiculous we're both acting.

[Xaeraz]

IC: "You can hear me all the way up there... And your voice is coming from below mine, I think..." Xae paused thinking, then said, "You know, you're right! I can't be just a head! There's no way you'd be shorter than I am if I was!"

[Makuta Miras]

IC: Miras

 

I stifle an undignified laugh. Ta-Koro? A mere village of what, a single hundred inhabitants from the pre-reformation? Nothing. "If you are the greatest of the Makuta in your universe, then I cannot express my pity for how weak and worthless those of your world are," I fire back, the other Makuta having lent me the perfect ammunition to use in this argument. "But I did not begin this conversation-" I emphasise that word "-for a jousting match of who has the most kills under his metaphorical belt. I have been talking to the other Makuta present in this facility, forming the beginnings of an alliance. My goal-" I lower my voice "-is to form something with enough power to remove us from this irksome confinement- I have a megaplanet to rule, and would prefer to do it in the same universe as it, ideally from my throne." I form a spiked gauntlet of claws around my left wrist. "Will you join me, Lord Severain?"

IC Kat:

 

My eyes followed the small box as it rose.

 

"Hey there little-"

 

A Toa flashed into existence from it and complimented me.

 

"-guy.... Uh.... Thanks, I guess?" I shook my head, "Wait, how do you know my name? Have we met?"

[Click]

IC: Kopen - Queen's Tunnel

 

She grinned up at him, simultaneously relieved and slightly offended at him bringing up her height. Her attention quickly jumped back to Cyarc to make sure the titan wasn't still attacking her. His attentions were diverted for now. As she turned back to Xaeraz, her grin was even wider. "Good! Now that you're back... I think we might be able to grab that gem. No one is paying attention to us now."

 

 

 

IC: Arkrax - Knowledge Sector

 

His head tilted curiously. "My data records ~ the names of all ~ contestants. You are ~ Catatonic, ~ Rahkshi of ~ Fear. I have been ~ observing your battles."

[Xaeraz]

IC: Xaeraz shook himself, grinning down at his awful, misshaped, awkward body, with its useless claw and its crude fingers and those ever ticking gears. He glanced over at Nocton and winced as he saw the armor of the makuta shredding inwards on him, then looked around at the rest of the party. Ezezko seemed to be sleeping, and the others all seemed busy as well. Looking back to the pedestal, Xaeraz nodded, and said, "Go, Kopen. I'll stay here. If Nomec tries anything, I'll take him out."

[Dane-gerous]

IC: Gamma

Oh I'm sorry, did that hurt?  Karz....off.... How about no? *Crunch* ARRGGHHHH! Now, calm down Miss Twilight. If you just surrender, I won't have to brutally murder you. I'll refer you to the first sentence I made. Oh...well in that case. *crunch* UGGGHH.! My....that is a lot of vomit. I didn't know we could produce that much. Oh. You appear to be unconcious. That's a shame. I can fix that. *Continuous cracking* ARRRRRRRRRGHHHHHH! So...are you ready to surrender NOW? I'd rather die. That can be arranged. I'm sorry about this Miss Twilight...but I really wouldn't be a good servant of Makuta if I didn't finish you off.... *Sword slash and a splatter.*

Gamma woke up, panting and sweating all over. That memory was gone. No. He didn't mean for that to happen. It was all an accident. That's right...hehe, an accident. Juuust an accident.

IC Kat:

 

I frowned. Observing me?

 

"Mind if I ask why?"

[Some Random Phrase]

IC Nocton:

Nocton was in massive pain, and could barely move. But he still had access to his powers. His weapons were useless. And most importantly, he had his sanity. "I refuse to be killed.... By a simple rock."

The thought gave him strength. He searched the room with his mind, his eyes screwed tight in concentration, trying to push past the awful pain....

A Matoran shadow....

Two large ones...

A lying down Toa shadow....

There. Nomec's shadow.

Calling on his last reserves of energy, Nocton forced Nomec's shadow into a sharp, jagged spear and attempted to impale him with it.

[Edelgard]

GM IC: NOMEC - BATTLING NOCTON

 

Nomec grunted as something rammed into him from behind. With the various members of the quest still spread through his line of sight, he decided to ignore it for now; the King would warn him if he was in danger from something else. He continued to focus on Nocton, whose torso and arms would now begin to fold in on themselves as well. The fighter would start to find it hard to stand as his legs continued to crumple. 

 

 

GM IC: NOCTON

 

Nocton's attack partially succeeded; however, he lacked the level of focus that would have been required to actually make the spear sharp. Instead, Nomec felt only the blunt impact, which was not strong enough to topple the hulking Toa. 

 

Goodbye.

 

Even as the constricting presence continued to crush his mind, a sharp wave of mental energy cut through Nocton's mind like butter. 

[Some Random Phrase]

IC Nocton:

Nocton would not let it end like this....

But he had no choice...

As his mind was ripped apart, his last, futile thought, was "NO".

A scream of defience, that he would never become the being's servant, a reminder that there was always a bigger fish.

His lifeless body sank to the ground.

OOC: Nocton dead.

GM IC: THE SHOPKEEPER - SPEAKING WITH LADY DAJIK

 

"The 'osts are called the 'ost an' the Queen," the Shopkeeper replied. "They got 'emselves a rule keeper, too; called the Enforcer. Also 'ired a new guy recen'ly ta oversee Engineerin'. You wan' ta win? Jus' kill people in the arena. An' make sure you ge' good at it."

 

 

GM IC: NOMEC

 

As Nocton collapsed dead to the floor, Nomec turned his attention towards Xaeraz, who had broken free of the King's illusion.

 

"Your turn."

 

Xaeraz would feel the familiar increasing weight starting with his legs....

 

 

GM IC: THE QUEEN

 

The Queen could feel the scattered pieces of herself beginning to fade away, lost into the endless wave of attacks. With a groan, she disconnected herself from both Albrecht and Von Worten, dropping down to one knee as a wave of dizziness struck her. While she panted, trying to piece herself back together, she felt the malevolent presence recede.

 

What... is... happening....

 

She wearily glanced around the chamber, trying to make sense of what she saw. Xaeraz was back to normal, and appeared to be battling the new Toa of Gravity, who was... different? Both Albrecht and Von Worten appeared on the verge of being incapacitated much like her. Ezezko was asleep on the floor; and Nocton was also lying on the ground, unmoving. She could not see Kopen.

 

The Queen shut her eyes as the world started to spin again.

 

Hold on, hold on....

 

 

GM IC: KOPEN

 

As Kopen approached the pedestal, she encountered no resistance.

 

 

GM IC: LYTREL

 

Eventually, the tunnel expanded into another chamber; at first glance, there appeared to be no other exits. However, a mirror encompassed the entirety of the wall opposite Lytrel.

[Click]

IC: Kopen - Queen's Tunnel

 

She just gave a quick nod and turned away. There wasn't time to worry. She had to get back there before...

 

Crack. The Makuta's armor crumpled under the onslaught of gravity and fell to the ground. Cyarc was finished with him. Kopen ran to slip around the corner into the next room, hopefully before he saw her. Her fingers desperately grasped at her moving joints, trying to mute her clickers before he heard her. There was no way this was going to work, and it would only put Xaeraz in his path next. She would have to get that gem quickly.

 

The room was empty. There was nothing between her and the Gem. But Kopen was not fooled. That Being would be around here somewhere. The one who had been able to tear into their minds without the slightest resistance, who had convinced Xaeraz he had been beheaded, and who seemed capable of twisting reality around them, even for her sonic vision. She could only hope he was too distracted by the others to notice an insignificant little Matoran.

 

She took a step towards the gem, then another, trying to brace herself for the inevitable mental attack.

 

 

 

IC: Arkrax - Knowledge Sector

 

He waved a hand to the tablet his box had just left in explanation. "I observe ~ all contestants. I wish to ~ learn their techniques ~ and powers ~ in the hopes ~ that I may defeat them, ~ to prevent my allies ~ from coming to harm."

 

 

 

IC: Lady Dajik - Commercial Sector

 

Well, that was no more helpful than the other merchants had been. And the Lady Dajik was getting sick of it. Someone her had to know something she could use. Her elbow came up to rest on the table, and she idly flexed her fingers. Then, her mask flashed and her hand became the equivalent of a set of fine daggers. "Surely you could tell me more," she replied, a deadly edge lurking just below her courteous tone. "You seem like an intelligent Matoran. You wouldn't happen to know any... loopholes?"

IC: Lytrel

Taking a few steps forward, Lytrel inspected the mirror on the wall. Maybe there was something on the other side? If he could break the glass...

[Edelgard]

GM IC: LYTREL

 

All that Lytrel could make out was the mirror image of himself on the other side; although if he looked closely, the symbol on his reflection's chest had a square around the intersecting lines, rather than a circle as he did.

 

 

GM IC: KOPEN

 

She still encountered no resistance at all. Perhaps the golden being had forgotten about her; after all, was that not what the Queen had predicted?

 

 

GM IC: SHOPKEEPER - SPEAKING WITH LADY DAJIK

 

The Po-Matoran eyed Lady Dajik, seeming unimpressed.

 

"Ya know, s'not very kind of ya, threatenin' me after I jus' tried ta help," he said, reaching under the counter and grabbing a plain old backpack, which he set down on the counter between them. "There ain't any loop'oles, lady."

IC Ezezko - Dreaming

「That's a karzing good question if there ever was one. I assume you're dreaming too, or some figment of my memory or imagination plastered onto the dreamscape? Its one half dozen or the other anyhow. I got into this situation through a long and twisting series of unfortunate events.」

 

You took a long drink.

 

「First off, I got transported into this bloody tournament for no good reason. Maybe they needed a fool of sorts to bolster the ratings? This place wasn't that bad, to tell you the truth. Not-death in the arena is a pretty nifty trick and I would've called my first round fun in way, it was like the war games they had us play at my academy, 'cept no one dies. After the first round, I-」 You paused, you were about to recount the encounter between you and Kopen.

 

Would you lie, or tell the truth?

 

「After the first round, I did some bad stuff, things that were wrong to do. It got me, a poor blind girl and a whole corridor of people ripped into by the Queen. I feel really crumby about it now. Me and her were practically comatose, out of commission for sure. A nice chap called Damaka and my sister helped me out and a practically saintly trio of Av-Toa helped the blind girl. Of course, I'm not even part way done with my story! After that, our punishment is to accompany the Queen on a quest for a particularly rare and powerful gem, probably as cannon fodder, eh? The quest goes alright for a small while, we find some apparent lesser gems, me and the blind girl get to help out, things are going swimmingly! Then the blind girl gets hurt and I have to carry her... I slip into bad habits again and drive the wedge between me and the group in further then, I'm good at that you know? Ostracizing myself from others.」

 

You didn't usually talk this long, at least without being interrupted.

 

「Then, we get to this big, old cavern. Lots of cryptic carvings and spooky hieroglyphics spattered on the walls, not to mention a crazed Toa of some weird element under the floor. The party's big guy, a Toa called Albrecht put him out of his misery, poor sod. The Queen was providing some expository dialogue when everything got shifted and changed and turn upside down. Next thing I know, we're split up and put off in a maze, all the while some new and strange voice is talking to us. Me and Albrecht get through pretty easily, that maze wasn't nothing impressive. On the way we meet the source of the voice, a big headed golden armored guy. He talked a big talk, but he didn't seem all that real, you know? He seemed like some weird gestalt entity or illusion. Not flesh and blood like me or you. We meet a meditating rahkshi too, weird, eh? Anyways, at that point I let my big mouth get the best of me and storm off ahead of big Al and the monk. After some persuasion I turn back and we reunite and march on. Meeting up with the others, that's when Goldie decides to show up again. By this point, I'm through with all this karz! So I yell at him a little and get put into some enchanted sleep, then I woke up in the dream, meandered about and eventually found you.」

The food smelled delicious.

 

Was there some common thread in your story that you were supposed to take note of? Was this shop keeper about to guide you towards a self discovery, an aesop?

[Constructelf]

IC: Lytrel

"Odd."

 

Was the mirror warped?

 

Lytrel looked closer to the spot on the mirror showing the distorted reflection, checking to see if the glass indeed was warped or if it was perfectly flat andore sinister forces were at play.

IC: Kopen - Queen's Tunnel

 

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Her every nerve was on edge for the slightest sound, her mind frantically searched for the slightest breach... and there was nothing. Something was wrong. It had to be. It couldn't be this easy. Nothing was ever this easy.

 

But as the pedestal came within arm's reach, there was still no interference. Maybe the Queen had been right. Her hand reached out to snatch the gem she was sure had to be resting on the pedestal... only to pause. What if it wasn't the Gem? It could be another illusion, surrounding something far more dangerous. But she had no other options. She had to take it before Xaeraz... and everyone else... was torn apart. Her staff came up to snatch the gem in its curved blades.

 

 

IC: Lady Dajik - Commercial Sector

 

She grumbled, and her hand returned to normal. This one was just as clueless as the rest. She eyed the strange backpack for a moment before putting her hands up in defeat. "My apologies," she sneered, "I will be on my way." And she walked off, hopefully to find something more valuable than a greasy merchant and his disgusting wares.

[Edelgard]

GM IC: EZEZKO - DREAMINING

 

The Po-Matoran pulled the pizza out, setting it down before Ezezko.

 

"Quite the story," he said. "I dunno what I am. Judgin' by where we are, I'm guessin' tha' you must'a seen me in passin' or somethin'. I don' feel very... fleshed out, you know? I feel like one o' those characters that appears in one scene and then dies or somethin'. I'm jus' a memory. Or a dream, or somethin'."

 

With a shrug, the Po-Matoran took a slice of pizza and bit into it, chewing thoughtfully for several seconds before conitnuing.

 

"Dunno if you can wake up, ta be 'onest. Feel like if ya could, that's somethin' I should know. Probably need someone else ta wake you up. Brutal."

 

 

GM IC: LYTREL

 

The mirror was entirely flat; however, as Lytrel leaned in closer, the figure in the mirror narrowed their eyes and whispered,

 

"Odd."

 

 

GM IC: THE SHOPKEEPER 

 

The Shopkeeper shrugged as Lady Dajik stalked away.

 

"Kinda rude, tha' one."

 

 

GM IC: KOPEN

 

As she took the gem off of the pedestal, Kopen would feel a sudden rush of power flood through her; it was as if her mind was rapidly expanding, observing everything in the surrounding area at once. 

 

She could see right into the dream of Ezezko, where he was chatting with an overweight Po-Matoran. 

She could feel the desperation of the Queen, where she was kneeling on the floor.

She could sense the emptiness that used to be Nocton.

 

Without warning, she swept through the minds of everyone else in the room, flipping through memories and thoughts like they were picture books, moving so quickly that she was unable to retain any of the information that she saw. 

 

The presence - the golden being - was all around her. She was drowning in it. It washed over her again and again, soaking her, saturating her very being, her very mind with itself. 

 

And then it spoke.

It was entirely unlike anything the small Matoran had ever experienced. The sheer power was overwhelming. It was too much. Her mind dragged along behind as it broke into the minds of her companions despite her resistance.

 

STOP IT!!

 

Her only reprieve came as the minds faded away, and she was left alone, face to... mind with that Being.

「So, I need to try and sleepwalk into danger and get myself woken up? That sounds awfully dangerous.」

 

Even burning the roof of your mouth with the red hot pizza does little to rouse you. Time for option two... 「Say, so you're a figment of my imagination, right? You ever heard of lucid dreaming?」 You focused on making the pudgy Ytt-Matoran disappear. 「If this works, sorry.」

She saw no reason to be so amused. Her mind's eye was spinning trying to comprehend it all.

 

So... this is the Gem... she hazarded. And... you brought me inside... to... what? Get rid of me?

[Xaeraz]

IC: Xaeraz stalked forward, a glare forming in his eyes. He eyed Nocton's corpse, noting the equipment on it, but also that Nomec was closer to it than he was. With a sigh, he focused the powers of his gem on the titan before him, pouring as much power into it as he could. As he did so, he said to Nomec, "You know, I knew a Ba-Toa who crushed a man to death once myself. It actually took a lot more elemental energy than he let on, due to the amount of compression you have to force onto a being actively resisting your attacks on it. Now, granted, this was on a Vortixx, who are about average density for living creatures. Organs, armor, all that. Now, we didn't design the Maxilos on Nynrah, but we did work on them, and I can tell you right now, they're harder to compact than some flesh in a metal box." He paused, realizing he'd unraveled another lie of his.

 

"So, between you killing Nocton there, trying to kill Lytrel and I earlier, and Cyarc's fight with Lytrel a bit ago, by my estimates, you must be running pretty low on EE." Xaeraz paused to pour more effort into the Gem of Sickness and, by extension, Nomec. Hopefully, he'd have the larger toa on the floor soon enough.

To get rid of you? No, no, not yet, the being mused. No... your task is to hand the gem over to the Queen. Or I shall tear your mind apart much like your ally Nocton.

 

 

GM IC: NOMEC

 

The massive Toa of Gravity heaved, collapsing on to his hands and knees. He mindlessly swiped at the body of Nocton, his fist closing around the Silence Gem. As he began to burn with fever, shiver with chills, and vomit, Nomec glanced up at Xaeraz as he activated the gem, raising his shaking fist into the air. Across the room, Kopen found herself suddenly deaf.
