*faceplants*
*muffled* Where have I been?
I put you under for a bit with that backhand. Man, you really are fucking pathetic, you know that, right?
You liar, Vezok. You and I both know Jaller tripped and passed out.
*moans and shakes dizziness away as he gains consciousness*
By just tripping?
Yeah, sure, he “tripped”… over my fucking fist in his fucking face.
Pffft. Loser.
I would not anger Matoro, Skakdi.
You know, when every person ever judges you, chances are you're objectively doing something wrong. Just saying.
I find it more likely that they are all simply too weak to take the path of greatness.

He has a Kakama. Come to think of it, couldn’t you use your mask of Intangibility to get out?
I don’t know how thick the walls are, but…
I think I shall. Goodbye, Kehuri.
((And with that I’m going to put a prose post in Tuyet’s drafts and go back to plotting how to murder her messibly in she’s poison and you know it.))
Brother, I do not believe it wise to assist one who has gathered such notoriety. The Great Spirits would not be pleased.
Rauta's Journal
I feel as though a great deal of time has passed, though I have only been journeying for a short while. Has it really been so long?
Up, up was good. He wasn't sure how far below sea level they were, but he was no expert on the archives.
Deciding it would be a good time to try out a part of his power, he unfolded his right blade and concentrated on it. He formed a mental image of Lepidus's war blade.
"How's that?" he said, holding up the reformed blade.
Rauta surveyed the tunnel's structure. It would indeed be difficult to retrieve an assembled ship.
"Perhaps the deliveries dock will have something. I remember Archivists bringing in shipments through there."
Lepidus drove his Warblade slowly, painfully through his forehead and then collapsed, dead.
[Only joking. I kinda think it’d be best if we wrote Lepidus out of the RP though, just because I’m not nearly active enough to play him. I’m sorry guys ;-;]
i don’t mind if i have to wait a month
honest
[[Same here. I don’t mind the wait.]]
Rauta's Journal
Rauta took out his journal and began writing.
I woke up from a strange vision in the Archives. I'm not sure how I got here, but perhaps it is the will of Mata Nui.
I have met four other Toa. They seem to be new Toa as well, although I'm sure all of us will grow with experience.
I believe one of them is a Toa of Magnetism. Our powers combined may prove formidable.
Another is a Toa of Ice. He is level-headed and seems very intelligent, although a bit cold.
The first one I met, Neelh, is a Toa of Psionics. She doesn't seem to enjoy combat, but I feel her powers could be terrifyingly effective if she wanted them to be.
The final Toa is a Toa of Sonics. I know this only because of the mental information Neelh provided. I should probably build some earplugs.
They have mentioned the location of a seafaring ship. I hope it does not need any major repair. It is not safe in these tunnels and finding parts could prove difficult if the rest of Metru Nui looks this bad.
Rauta remembered the makeshift boat he had used to leave Nynrah.
"We should make sure it isn't too damaged when we get back to it. There's no telling what may have happened to it if the rest of the archives look this bad."
Rauta folded his gauntlet armor back up. Vehi's method was a bit more effective than what he had in mind.
He looked at the remaining conscious hounds. They struggled with no success against their frozen shackles. They would likely tire themselves out before the ice melted.
Rauta checked his armor. Not seeing any damage, he said, "I believe I am ready."
"I think I have a better idea."
Rauta drew his blade. He scratched a circle in the ice above the gun. Lifting his blade above the circle, he let it slam into the ice, creating a small slit in the ice. Repeating the process a small distance down the perimeter, he continued until he had perforated the circle. He then dropped his blade into one of the holes and dragged it around the circle. When he was done, he gave the isolated block a shove to break it free on the bottom.
"Try it now."
"I'm a Toa of Iron, but I haven't quite gotten the hang of my powers."
Rauta knelt down and inspected the trapped gun.
"I bet it's flooded, though. We'll have to dry it out somehow before you can use it. It looks like it's made out of protosteel or something similar, so I don't think the internals would have burst from the water turning to ice."
Rauta skidded over to Neelh and Lepidus in time for Neelh to sit up. She seemed fine, but he would have to remember how much she disliked combat. It could be critical for future fights.
He recognized two of the other Toa from his vision. The fourth one was new, but the information Neelh supplied earlier told him it was Vehi, Toa of Ice.
Using what he had already learned, he was able to determine Jhedu as the leader. It seemed wise to speak with him first. He approached the Toa of Magnetism.
"As Neelh said, I am Rauta. I'm not exactly sure why or how I'm here, but I'll do as much as I can."
Rauta looked around at the results of the battle. There was a fourth Toa in the room, presumably the cause of the new ice interior decoration. One of the other Toa fell, picked himself up, and kicked one of the hounds in the head before running to greet the new Toa. The second was gently placing Neelh on the ground. Something wasn't all right with her. Not knowing exactly what to do, Rauta carefully ran over to help the kneeling grey Toa.
"Jump"
Rauta didn't know who or what gave the command, but he followed it. Leaping out of the water, he only barely made it before his feet landed back on...
Solid ice?
The sudden change of surface surprised Rauta. He skidded along the ice until he clumsily stopped himself on one of the energy hounds. The beast growled and snapped at the figure which had so rudely bumped it. Deciding he had enough of the rahi's shit for today, he gave it a good strike over the head with his shield, knocking the hound unconscious.
Neelh pulled Rauta around the corner. The fight looked grim, but four Toa should be able to handle energy hounds.
"Just great," Rauta thought, "I haven't even figured out my new abilities and I already need to fight."
As soon as he thought the word "fight," he heard a clanking noise coming from his wrists. His armor opened up, revealing the same blade he had used against the Takea shark, but on each arm.
"Now we're getting somewhere," he said aloud.
Noticing the two energy hounds approaching Neelh, he charged one of them, willing as much speed as he could into his armor. Slamming into the beast, he threw every ounce of his weight into the tackle. Pushing the hound into the wall, the impact created a small cavity. Rauta slammed his blades into the wall above the rahi, sealing it in for a short time.
Rauta turned around to find another hound facing him. It leapt up, directly at his mask. Throwing up his arm to guard himself, his blade folded back into his armor, which then expanded outwards, forming a small shield. The rahi struck the shield, knocking Rauta off balance.
Seeing the remaining hounds circling the rest of the Toa, Rauta almost didn't see the rahi in front of him attack again. Slamming it aside with his shield, he ran over to help the others.
Psionics and clairvoyance...so this was a Toa of Psionics. Surely she would be a strong ally. Neelh grabbed Rauta's shoulder, and thought he could not see her hand, he could feel it. The sensation that followed was strange. His mind was filled with sounds and images he did not recognize. This was surely the power of a Toa of Psionics.
"It’s been a busy day," he heard her say.
"Day? It feels like weeks for me."
He continued following the Rahi up the tunnel. The sounds of battle were getting closer.
Rauta was stunned this being knew what he was. He had many questions, but the mention of an energy hound was more important. From what he had heard, the hound would be dangerous to the other Toa this being had mentioned.
"Neelh" clicked its fingers, changing its form into that of some rahi Rauta could not identify. The new rahi looked at him. In the same voice, it said, "So… Who are you, again?”
"I am Rauta. I don't know why I am here, but I will help any way I can."
