BIONIFIGHT INFINITE

Nato G · March 7, 2015

IC: The Wyrm - Team Muaka.

Pain. So much pain.

He was desperate, tearing at his foe, trying to crush Hound with tooth and claw, ignoring Halken's attempts to dislodge him.

And then the explosions ripped through the water, and everything went dark.

OOC: The Wyrm KO'd by Halken, Hound and Langmuir.

**Xaeraz** · March 7, 2015

IC: Halken glanced up to see something burning in the water before him,rippling, frothing, and generally making a nuisance of itself. He grumbled "Go away!" at it before realizing what a right nutter complaint that was. He glanced back up in time to see Hound get ripped up like an old bill, and watch Wyrm be vaporized in his hands before the reaction destroyed him as well, ruining his nice shirt and also turning him into a fine, glittery dust in the water.

When all was said and done, Halken's ashy remains settled slowly to the sea floor, his miraculously intact monocle drifting down to perch lightly on them as if nothing was wrong.

OOC: Halken explodified by Langmuir.

Silvan Haven · March 7, 2015

Kale Ironshaper- Team Tarakava

IC: It seemed that at least one of the duo had survived his attack, although if the bits of blood flowing through the water was any indication, they were not unharmed. The Ice Toa was facing off against another of Kale's teammates. That Maccha!Yellow person from the look of it.

Guess its time to help out.

From his invisible spot in the shadows, Kale held out his hand,twisting the wrist as he curled the fingers. Out on the battlefield the light given off by Kotak's sash began to move. On the front everything stayed the same, but on the back a hardlight construct took shape. It was shaped vaguely like a scorpion stinger, only somewhat more geometric and with a point that was most certainly meant to pierce the target all the way through.

Not even a second after it was formed the construct attacked, arcing for the back of Kotak's head.

Drakua Toa of Rahi · March 7, 2015

IC: Skull Carrier

This second spider, given the name Scraper by its master set off, sticking to the ceilings of the facility rather than the floors like its brother did. Heading towards the knowledge sector, the spider took note of everything it saw, and came close to seeing it, on the way. Meanwhile, the Skull Carrier was in a deep trace from his meditation, awaiting a vision of what is to come.

IC: Tahnok Nuva

To be honest, Tahnok was having a really bad day so far. In only an hour he had been sucked into a tournament against his will, nearly crushed like a tin canister by a Toa of Gravity, and on top of all that he was going die trapped in a cavern with one of the least helpful Toa imaginable. Could today get any w- no, don't say it, you'll only incite worse events to follow. So Tahnok kept running, following the tunnel until something happened to save him from this crystal's thirst for destruction.

Samus Aran-Bounty Hunter · March 7, 2015

IC: Zakaro (Taravaka, with Riss)

"I've had one or two," the Onu-Toa replied, trotting after his upbeat companion.

"Most notable was probably this one tournament where I and a hardlight guy had almost a competition of sorts. Something along the lines of who could get the most spectacular KO's and even deaths one round. He won lots of those. Hardlight's a lot more flashy than earth in that sense."

As he stepped across the crystal, Zakaro paused for a moment, frowning.

"I... Did you hear that?"

Even as he asked the question, he berated himself. If he, an Onu-Toa, had perhaps heard something, it was doubtless that the Toa of Sonics just ahead wouldn't have. Unless it was all in his head.

That had happened before.

Nato G · March 7, 2015

IC: The Wyrm - Comfort Sector.

He woke up on a bed, his sash gone, his wounds healed, and his weapons repaired.

Standing up, he looked around to find himself in the comfort sector, the rest and relaxation area for the contestants between battles. Somehow, he'd survived an explosion that he was certain had blown his body completely apart.

These beings had been telling the truth when they said they could bring back the dead.

OOC: The Wyrm open for interaction.

**Burnmad** · March 7, 2015

OOC: Gonna push myself to be active today, since IIRC this is the last day of the round?

Could someone summarize enemy positions for me?

IC - Artorre (Mahri Nui, Team Muaka):

As he witnessed his friend's second, much more gruesome death, Artorre lost dominion over his innards, and finally was sick. Turned away from his remaining companion, he retched violently into the rising water for a minute or so before regaining his composure. As the cool waves enveloped him, causing goosebumps to form on his rapidly mutating flesh, he stood up straight once more, wading away from the ejected contents of his stomach. "This way," he asserted, as he jumped from the submerged roof of the building. He tried to shove down his alarm as he sunk like a rock for a few moments, before touching down on the street.

He walked off towards the city center, looking for a fight.

IC - Ardian (Mahri Nui, Team Tarakava):

In the chaos of the popping bubble, Ardian was separated from his companion. He wound up near the edge of Tarakava territory, before the current he had been trapped in slammed him against a wall. He was just about to resign himself to drowning, when he suddenly realized he was capable of breathing in water. Gulping in a mouthful, he began to swim around, searching for Muakas.

**Xaeraz** · March 7, 2015

IC: "Well, something just exploded, four people died from the exclamations of pain that got cut short, Something crashed back behind us, someone's crying, and a ruki up near the top burped," Riss rattled off, ticking off sounds on her fingers as she did so. "Were you hearing any of those, or maybe something else? I could have missed a sound somewhere, after all! I'm practically deaf compared to some other De-Toa, you know!"

Dane-gerous · March 7, 2015

IC: Exsequor

"That is interesting." The vahki's optics zoomed out of Dayeth's face. She was no threat, and could perhaps be an ally at some point.

Nato G · March 7, 2015

IC: Dayeth - Commercial Sector.

"And you are not," she stifled a yawn.

Hunter Serge · March 7, 2015

IC: Lekona - Mahri Nui (Team Muaka)

Lekona nodded, teleporting down to street level, and followed Artorre further into the city.

Samus Aran-Bounty Hunter · March 7, 2015

IC: Zakaro (Taravaka, with Riss)

"Alright then," Zakaro replied, taking the analysis in stride. He supposed it wasn't all that surprising, considering how sensitive Zakaro himself was to the movements of the earth.

He spoke again, pausing in his movement forwards.

"Think it's worth investigation? At the least, something's happening, and that's more interesting than talking to each other. No offense, but that's more out-of-the-arena stuff, we're in here to fight."

fishers64 · March 7, 2015

IC Halmos

Using the momentum put forth from her grabbing his hand, Halmos flipped over Her back this time-

Oh great, now he couldn't breathe.

Rather frantic now, Halmos literally spat a crystal at the Toa's back(a nice and pointy one at that), while bringing down his other hand(knife as well) into her neck.

IC(Ismekne): Ismekne gritted her teeth as she flipped over, and he flipped over, and now he was pulling on her wrist...up and over. A shockwave ripped though the water, and the Toa lost her grip as she floated away and felt a knife scrape into the side of her neck. The Toa concentrated on Halmos' suffocation, hoping to end Halmos - she grabbed her neck wound, hoping to stop the bleeding - before he ended her.

GM IC: A.D. - KNOWLEDGE SECTOR

As the dragon opened up the public files on Elittra, this was what he found:

[ELITTRA]
[POWERS: ELEMENTAL CONTROL OVER LIGHTNING, KANOHI KAKAMA]
[WEAPONS: SPECIALIZED BOW]
[HISTORY: FIGHTER HAS FOUGHT IN THREE PREVIOUS TOURNAMENTS. BATTLED AGAINST ZAKARO IN FIRST TOURNAMENT - TIME SINCE THEN FOR BOTH FIGHTERS SUGGESTS CHANCES OF EITHER REMEMBERING THE OTHER ARE MINIMAL. QUEEN NOTES SOME SORT OF LINK BETWEEN ELITTRA AND FIGHTER ARTORRE; NEITHER FIGHTER AWARE OF CONNECTION AT PRESENT; QUEEN UNABLE TO ACTIVATE CONNECTION, DOES NOT BELIEVE FIGHTERS CAN. NOT A THREAT AT PRESENT TIME. ELITTRA HAS NO HISTORY WITH OTHER FIGHTERS OF INFINITE TOURNAMENT AT THIS TIME.

FIGHTER WAS CHAMPION OF HER THIRD TOURNAMENT. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT FIGHTER SPENT HER YEARS BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD TOURNAMENTS TRAINING AND PARTICIPATING IN A WAR; SKILLS TRANSLATED WELL TO BIONIFIGHT SETTING. RECENT RESEARCH SUGGESTS FIGHTER HAS SPENT MOST OF HER TIME SINCE THIRD TOURNAMENT ADVENTURING; COMBAT SKILLS HAVE SUFFERED AS A RESULT.]

That was all the file said - and, judging from both the references to the Queen and the formal style of the report (something that the Host seemed incapable of), it would be fair to assume that it had been written by the Enforcer.

IC(A.D.): It appears that her memory has been tampered with. That was the first thought that jumped out at him. A.D. shuddered, as a horrible thought surfaced in his mind. The Queen could have tampered with her memory so all she remembers are these tournaments, and what she needs to do to win them. A form of manipulation.

He imagined himself returning home to Encore, and not remembering her at all, being forced to wander alone, until her was called back...No. NO!

He gritted his teeth. The report suggested that the memory wiping was done inside of her universe. Not by the Queen. Either that or she could just be forgetful, like he sometimes was. But forgetting a fight? A.D. sighed. He remembered all of his fights - the adrenaline, the powers, the attacks, the result. He remembered the thrill of plans pulled off, manipulations, the sour taste of defeat. Plus "Zakaro" was wiped too...whoever he is.

Infinite Gems. That's the information I'm here for.

But there wasn't much. Ellittra had gone on the first Gem Quest with a Fire Toa. He quickly popped open Artorre's file, enough to see that, yes, Artorre was a Toa of Fire. But that didn't tell him anything, did it? A connection? The wording of the file suggested it was a Psionic connection, like the Queen's powers. Could be anything at all, really. Maybe they're just from the same universe, met each other once, and that memory got erased.

Which brought him back to the memory thing. I'm not like Ellittra, he thought. I'm no good at fighting tournaments. Or am I?

With trepidation and dread, the dragon opened his own file...

OOC: A.D. is opening the file on himself, Ancient Darkness. I'll let the GMs decide what he finds once again(this will be the last one).

Dane-gerous · March 8, 2015

IC: Exsequor

"I am not faulty, Toa, if that is what you think. I am simply programmed in a way, that means that YOU are not my superior, Only a Makuta qualifies to be superior than me, and a Turaga."

Nato G · March 8, 2015

IC: Dayeth - Commercial Sector.

"If you genuinely believe there's more than one Makuta, then there's something very wrong with you," Dayeth spat, glaring at the malfunctioning machine. This place was full of heathens, and she absolutely hated it. "Now get out of my way."

**Xaeraz** · March 8, 2015

IC: "Investigate what, though? The explosion? I hear at least one more person there, so we might need to mop up if we go there..." Riss paused, listening to the arena once more.

"Buuuuuut I don't think there's much else for us here, so we may as go look! Follow me!" And with that, she was bounding down the streets to where four fighters had met their spectacular end.

IC: Xaeraz tottered back to the group, legs feeling stiff and a little worn from all the up and down of moving Kopen around. He glanced at the Queen, still feeling embarrassed after his outburst, and did his best to avoid eye contact with anyone in the group.

**Edelgard** · March 8, 2015

GM IC: THE QUEEN'S QUEST

The Queen did not respond to Xaeraz's comment or the thought she had read from Ezezko, deciding that ignoring both of them was the easiest way for each of them to avoid further embarrassment. As she led the group down the new tunnel lit by the lines of torches, she spoke one final line to every member of the quest.

You will forgive me, but I shall return to speaking this way for now. I have grown... used to it. I find verbal speech to be very... taxing.

**Click** · March 8, 2015

IC: Mirror - Knowledge Sector to Med Bay

Mirror couldn't tear his eyes away from the scene of destruction. The blades had erupted with cataclysmic results, leaving gruesome remains where the tangle of fighters had been. Fortunately, they soon vanished. Mirror finally looked back down to his sword, the smooth surface mirroring the blue screens above.

He couldn't bear it any longer. He turned with disgust and walked back down the halls. Perhaps he could find his... recently deceased ally in the Med Bay.

IC: Arkrax - Knowledge Sector

Arkrax idly flipped through the contestant records, absorbing page after page of information. The data available on each contestant was limited, and the security was surprisingly efficient at stopping him from retrieving more. He searched for cracks in firewalls, slipped past anti-virus detection, and latched on to data transfers, all to no avail. His form was continuously kicked from the system with snarky little messages like "Nice try. Better luck next time.", "End of Line," and "I wonder how you would take to working in a pocket calculator."

Of course, none of his struggles were apparent to the physical world. The small black box sat silently on top of a tablet. Occasionally, the screen would flash on for a moment before returning to a neutral off state. Then, the box gave a beep as Arkrax finished his search. It rose from the table and materialized his form. His Komau slowly rotated as he took in his surroundings. They were... much the same as previously. The transfer had not taken as long as he had predicted, though it had been a lot of data to process.

Arkrax began hovering back in the direction of the Commercial Sector. It seemed he had formed an alliance. Though it was not on equal footing, some kinship in this place could be beneficial.

IC: Kopen - Queen's Tunnel

Kopen just shrugged at the Queen's message. It was as she had suspected. Besides, she didn't know what to do when the Queen started speaking.

OOC: Mirror and Arkrax open to interaction

Nato G · March 8, 2015

IC: The Puppetmaster - Knowledge Sector.

Looking up from his screen, he spotted a strange device (Arkrax) hovering through the air. He got to his feet and approached it. "What are you?" he asked curiously, unsure of whether it would understand or respond to him.

Dane-gerous · March 8, 2015

IC: Exsequor

Exsequor gave a loud grinding sound. It almost sounded like a laugh.

**Click** · March 8, 2015

IC: Arkrax - Knowledge Sector

His hovering paused, and he turned back to the voice. The files had only referred to this one as "Puppetmaster." An omenous name to be sure. But truly a prosaic question at this time. His face remained impassive, though a more physical being might have sighed at the repetitions.

"I ~ am Arkrax. Data ~ Elemental," he repeated once more.

Samus Aran-Bounty Hunter · March 8, 2015

IC: Zakaro (Taravaka, with Riss, approaching explosion site)

He only grins in reply, retrieving his broadsword from his back to whirl it around in his right hand as he follows Riss, Pakari beginning to glow faintly as Zakaro prepares to fight. An earthen sphere forms in his hand as he takes the time to make it dense and heavy, preparing a powerful initial attack.

Manipulating one's element, once it's already formed, it much easier than creating it out of thin air. Or, rather, water. Better to have it ready now and not waste time and energy later, right?

Right.

Zakaro's not a veteran of Bionifight just for the laughs, after all.

The UltimoScorp · March 8, 2015

IC Kotak:

Caught unaware from behind, the light construct pierced his skull in a hot stabbing motion, and he fell, defeated once more.

Kotak KO'd by Kale

IC: Xara - Tunnel.

<"I.... I don't really know,"> I admitted, <"I think we're together.... karz..... this relationship stuff is so complicated....">

My life had been so much simpler back when I'd been content to ignore my emotions and just hurt people.

IC Kat:

<"Relationships are complicated, but that's just life. Everything has it's challenges. I guess we were never really prepared for the social ones, though....">

IC: Tarsus The Inquisitor - Arena (Team Muaka)

Tarsus attempted to bring his weapon up to block his redirected projectile, but he was too slow. The last thing he remembered as the sphere tore into his shoulder was a blinding flash of light...

And then he found himself in the Medical Bay, once again breathing air.

OOC: Tarsus KO'd by Langmuir and Olari.

Ghidora131 · March 8, 2015

IC Halmos

Losing the will to stay conscious faster than a Makuta fish out of water, Halmos amplified his attacks. Slinging three more knives at the Toa, he brought two crystals up behind her and in front of her.

He was in her element. If he didn't win fast he was done for.

Nato G · March 8, 2015

IC: Dayeth - Commercial Sector.

"Apparently even you vocal components are malfunctioning." she scowled, trying to push past the android.

_______________________________________________________________

IC: The Puppetmaster - Knowledge Sector.

"Date elemental?" he mused, "I don't think I've seen anything like that before. Impressive." Those who knew The Puppetmaster well would recognise this as rare high praise from him. "How did you.... come into being?"

_______________________________________________________________

IC: Xara - Tunnel.

<"Were we really prepared for anything?"> I replied with a sigh, <"We were just another of their experiments. They wanted to see what we did, how we acted. I guess they didn't care much about how we felt about it.">

Not Quite Dead · March 8, 2015

IC Hryfon - Knowledge Center

He had seen the "data elemental," earlier. Speaking with the bandaged toa. The dark cloaked being gave him a twinge of familiarity too, though he could not place it. Social experience taught him that sitting back rarely built relations, something he felt would be vitally important here. So he walked up to the duo, an innocuous question wouldn't hurt, right?

"Hello, would either of you happen to know where the books on this tournament's history are kept?"

IC Langmuir - Medbay

Ouch.

I knew that resurrection would occur, by the act of dying left me chilled. I had drown once before, luckily Nialus had resuscitated me. Having my organs liquified by an explosion was a new and unfavorable experience. I'd have to refine that tactic before using it again.

First thing I needed to do was find the reptilian teammate and apologize, hopefully he would realize, as I had, that his in-game death was a calculated risk.

Picking up his things, The Wyrm headed off in search of food, leaving Comfort and entering the Commercial Sector.

IC Halmos

Losing the will to stay conscious faster than a Makuta fish out of water, Halmos amplified his attacks. Slinging three more knives at the Toa, he brought two crystals up behind her and in front of her.

He was in her element. If he didn't win fast he was done for.

IC(Ismekne): She watched the crystal Toa - was it a crystal Toa? - suffocate. As she did so, she saw a crystal rise in front of her. She dodged to the left, away from the path of one of the knives. The second hit her hammer with a clank. The third buried itself in her armor near her elbow. She had to let go of her neck to hit pull it out, but she did and threw it back at its sender.

She was starting to feel woozy from the wounds and loss of blood. She maintained concentration on Halmos. Must. Finish. What I. Started.

IC Halmos

Catching the knife was no problem - Halmos had trained with them. But he wasn't able to keep up this fight forever. Time to go out with a bang.

Grinning, he swam forwards, pulling out the tazer - and activated it.

Exsequor stopped her. "I think you need to learn what is malfuncitonal and what is not."

Catching the knife was no problem - Halmos had trained with them. But he wasn't able to keep up this fight forever. Time to go out with a bang.

Grinning, he swam forwards, pulling out the tazer - and activated it.

IC(Ismekne): Unfortunately, Halmos would find that Ismekne's control over electricity extended to electricity in tazer wire. Instead of shocking the Ga-Toa, the electricity looped around in the gun, causing it to explode...

OOC: How does your character survive suffocation for this long lol?

Khromatose · March 8, 2015

IC: Maglev/Training Sector >>> Halls

I left the training room after I felt like I ran through that excess energy...now to find something else to do...

I walked out, and decided to walk around the halls.

OOC: Maglev is open to interaction.

Ghidora131 · March 8, 2015

IC Halmos

As the gun exploded in his hand, knocking him back, Halmos suddenly started to die. Interesting, but he would give this Toa one last fright. Jabbing a small crystal(really small) down his throat, he suddenly expanded the crystal when it was in his stomach, making a massive crystalline mass under the water... And ripping Halmos' body into several -pieces horrifically as it did so in less than a second. Also, now all that blood in the water wouldn't be pleasant to breathe.

Halmos KO'd.

OOC: Point goes to Fishers, considering it was a suicide. Nice round, Fishy - extremely well played. You deserve that point.

fishers64 · March 8, 2015

OOC: Well played yourself.

IC(Ismekne): Ismekne backed up, off of the blood cloud. Bleh, that was nasty. Her body ached. She had been in this arena long enough. Her left arm hung entirely useless at her side, and her neck was slowly oozing blood. She put her warhammer away on her back, and pulled her left arm to her side, and put her right hand over her neck wound.

Can we finish this dang round yet, she thought.

**Burnmad** · March 8, 2015

IC - Artorre (Team Muaka, Mahri Nui):

Coming upon Ismekne, who had just finished off a teammate, Artorre unsheathed his blade and approached.

He groaned internally at his lack of ranged attacks in this watery environment.

*Snaps fingers*

**Ehksidian** · March 8, 2015

IC: Ten

Swish, swish, swish. Water sure made a lot of noise when swimming. Made it harder for Ten to sneak up on people.

Oh well. He could do...something, at least. He noticed a red Toa, wearing a bright yellow sash, moving in on a friendly. Of course, the only smart thing to do would be to attack him. Ten smiled, and deactivated his Huna.

"Yo, redman!"

A massive smirk stretched across Ten's face as he floated...somewhat far above both Artorre and Iskemene.

"Catch!"

A bolt of hardlight appeared only three meters above Artorre's head, and swiftly began descending to hit the Toa of Fire. It was moving very fast, but not impossibly so - the water slowed down the speed of his hardlight bolt, slowed it down enough to irritate Ten.

**Burnmad** · March 8, 2015

IC - Artorre (Mahri Nui, Team Muaka):

Calling out before you attacked was hardly ever a good idea.

Activating his mask, Artorre easily stepped to the side, the bolt uselessly impacting the ground where he had been standing moments before.

Meanwhile, he closed in on Ismekne, stabbing towards her with his sword.

**Ehksidian** · March 8, 2015

IC: Ten

The bolt embedded itself into the ground. No biggie. That would just make his opponent think it was useless. Spoilers: It wasn't. In fact, it was the opposite of useless. It was a mine. As soon as Artorre stepped forwards to stab Iskemene, spikes shot out from the embedded bolt, aiming to strike the toa of Fire in the side. Shouting out your attacks was never a good idea.

Making distractions, however, was.
