Not Quite Dead

I NEED THE HEART OF A GOD.

The trio wound their way through the twisting alleys of Northrun, coming to a ramshackle inn titled "Pequod."  The sign was in fancy script and featured a peg-legged matoran spearing a great whale. Inside the air was smelled of stale booze, blood and other less... Savory things. Haraki was led to a table, around it sat seven people, matoran, vortixx and skakdi. Each one meaner looking than the last.

Paju and Kik were escorted into the hospital by a nurse, "how long ago was he injured?"

I stared at the screen for several long moments, before finally typing in a response. PLEASE ELABORATE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

IN THE CATACOMB OF MANGAIA AND UNDER LHIKAN'S THRONE LAY GODS. DEAD AND DREAMING. I REQUIRE THEIR ESSENCE. PROCEED TO THE BASEMENT LEVEL. YOU WILL FIND THE TOOLS YOU SHALL REQUIRE.

 

* * * * * *

 

"Thank you, you can wait in the lobby."

 

A team of nurses and doctors take Kik into the emergency area, leaving Paju to wait in the lobby. An hour later, one returns to greet the matoran.

 

"Thanks to you, we were able to stabilize his condition. One arm is badly broken and will require time to heal, at least a month. The other was only fractured, he ought to be able to use it within the day. We've got him under anesthesia right now. Do you have any relations to him?"

 

* * * * * *

 

Who could be the elusive Stiehl? Clockwise around the table sat a bulky vortixx, loaded with weapons. A cruel and narrow eyed Ko-matoran, an onu-skakdi that took up half the table, looking more like a greedy chunk of stone and earth than a living being. At it's head was another vortixx. Cold intelligence shining behind his blue eyes. The other side seated two twin skakdi, both of the gravity element. A matoran with mostly prosthetic limbs sat nearest to Haraki.

 

The bulky and well armed Vortixx spoke up, "Ah, here's the bossman!" He looked behind the Ko-matoran guest. A short and stout skakdi, mottled grey and brackish green came out of the kitchen, carrying a steaming loaf of bread it was greedily munching on.

 

"Aye! Who is this here?" He eyed Haraki with a vaguely amused look.

The talking computer wanted me to venture into another ancient ruin to steal the essence of a dead, dreaming god (whatever that actually meant) from a catacomb? And it was even offering to give me the tools to help me get the job done? 

 

Looks like payday's come early...

 

I WILL DO AS YOU SAY, I typed quickly, before I backed out of the room, the Manas parting to give me passage. I took a deep breath, then started down towards the basement.

"If you're playing us for fools..." I growled.

 

But what if he was right?

 

"First thing you're going to do is to cancel this bounty. If Lufon asks, say that our charred corpses were found in a tank wreck. I don't care how you deal with him afterwards.

 

"Say, you can't really pay that bounty, can you? Twenty thousand's a lot."

IC Carth/ Neuf Plains

 

As I sprinted Bolt across the open fields, I saw one of our patrol tanks aggressing another Heavy Armor and an Exo.

 

Curious, I thought to myself with a wry grin.

 

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

 

I gunned the engine, activating the Kakama, and in no time at all, I was skidding to a stop just begind the Neuf Armor.

 

"Howdy!" I said, grinning from ear to ear.

 

OOC: Hello, Jatikko~

"You can pay us for our silence," I told the middle man, trying not to let out a bitter laugh at Zekev's comment about finding our bodies in a charred tank. That's what I'd though had happened to Lufon.

 

It seemed that I was wrong...

Inside the basement, Oblitus would find a solitary row of lights, tracing a line from the entrance to a small safe on a far wall. The darkness around the lights was decidedly... Thick, it would've been unwise to tread through it. A soft white noise was present, similar to the aural fuzziness that had washed over the third floor from when he had entered to when the something had vanished around the corner.

 

The safe contained a small firearm, if the De-Matoran tested it, he would find it functioned similarly to the elemental cannons attached to armor. It's firepower was of course, much lower. But it was easily concealable and would leave no physical evidence. Also inside was a small device, similar to an wristwatch in appearance. It had a small manual with it, the text was worn. But crude drawings showed a matoran much like himself pressing a button on it and appearing a dozen bio away. (an arrow depicting distance measurement was present)

 

Last but not least was a small battery. A charge meter on the side read 0%. Not exactly the most poetic device for draining god-energy, but it's purpose was clear enough.

 

As he pocketed the items, he felt a twisting of space and his ears popped. He was back on the ledge outside the entrance.

 

* * * * * *

 

"Sure thing, sure thing!" He produced a bag, the unmistakeable clinking of widgets came from within as he handed it to Zekev. "Can I go now?"

 

* * * * * *

 

Stiehl eyed the Ko-Matoran.

 

"Why shouldn't we sell you into slavery or kill you and go after the treasures ourselves? What do I gain letting you call the shots?"

I didn't stop to wonder how the karz I'd been teleported back up here. I clambered back into my suit and began trekking back towards civilisation. I'd heard of Mangaia; it was somewhere in Vingt. This trip might take a while...

"I just found him in the middle of the jungle.  His name is Kik but I don't know much else.  I think he had an exo-suit and he got in a fight. His exo was destroyed when I found him."

 

OOC: Sorry I missed you.

"Hhm. Probably roving bandits or political dissidents. The jungles haven't been too safe lately. He should be awake by now, if you want to talk with him."

IC Haraki:

 

Haraki knew what these Skakdi wanted. Thankfully, they were playing right into her trap.

 

"Well, you could head out and search for the treasure, but that's an awful lot of nothing to search for a hoard of unimaginable treasure. I know the exact location of the treasure, but if you kill me or even try to lay a finger on me, well, that info goes 'buh-bye.' Also, every time you try and negotiate, you lose five percent. So, the bidding starts at thirty."

"There was this guy in the forest. I tried to see who he was without being seen. Unfortunately he saw me and attacked me. I didn't want to fight him, so he I got my handed to me. Then more people came and he threw me into a tree, breaking my arms. Then they left, and you found me."

OOC: Oblitus' timeskip into Vingt approved by the GM.

 

IC: Oblitus - Vingt (Vert's Pricey Goods).

 

Still clad in my exo-suit, I stomped through the market district. Getting into the Mangaia temple wasn't going to be easy, but I knew from my time scavenging that there was one person in this town who might know someone who could get me inside: Vert. 

 

I entered his shop, leaving my suit just inside the entrance and walking up to the front counter. "Hello Vert."

"You idiots," Ikira muttered, pushing her way towards Zeleran and Arktinen, prodding the Ko-Matoran sharply while quietly asking the Steltian, "what's our game plan? If you don't have one, figure one out fast - Neuf doesn't mess around, and if I have to go out there and parley with those idiots I won't be happy."

I waited intently for the guy's next words. Lufon was alive, he was still hunting us... 

 

This had to end.

"I met up wit him in Vingt, Vert's Pricy Goods. Big shop an the owner barter info... It'd be impossible ta miss. Now, mind if I get out before Lufon sends one a me after me?"

In said store, the owner watched a rather... Frantic, looking De-matoran, one that walked to the counter and greeted him.

 

"What do you need, friend?"

"Don't act like you don't know me, Vert." I said warily. "This aint the first time I've been here, nor will it be the last. I have need of your services..." I lowered my voice a little, "...I need you to find someone who can get me to Mangaia, into the sealed temple itself."

 

I shrugged my pack off my shoulders and put it on the floor beside me. "I've got the goods to pay for any made-up extra expenses you fabricate, so let's cut to the chase. Can you help me, or not?"

"Agreed," I was already heading towards the door, keeping a wary eye on everyone around us.

"Don't be ridiculous," I hissed, opening the front door, "that's only going to draw attention to us. Besides..." I started to step outside, "...no one here's after us yet." It was then that I saw what was waiting for us outside. "Oh... karz...." 

 

It seemed the guard at the gate hadn't been too accepting of our bribe.

"Mangaia? Let's go somewhere quieter."

 

Vert called his errand boy over, "man the posts m'boy!" He led Oblitus to an office. Right now it was covered in papers, maps and open books. Stacks of letters lay in various states of undress, half written or half read. The De-Matoran might recognize some of the maps, "Ascension." Was a prominent landmark.

 

As the narrator had forgotten to describe Vert earlier, he took this chance to do so.

 

He was old and had a grandfatherly air about him, though it wasn't a kindly air. More so the kind that stuck to stingy, scrooge type grandfathers. The kind that were bound to leave a MASSIVE sum of wealth post-mortem and yet, refused to die. He might even have a laugh about his preternaturally long and evasive lifespan while his heirs squabbled about who would eventually get what.

 

He was also bereft of an element, a cripple of sorts. His whole form was a beige-grey, right down to his heart and heartstone. To counteract this he wore only the most garish clothing and jewelry.

 

Offering a seat and drink to the De-Matoran, he himself took a seat.

 

"Mangaia you say? I think I might need a story on this request. Not to mention your state, you look like you just had an extraterrestrial encounter!"

 

* * * * * *

 

As if by providence, an off duty squadron of guards entered Zekev and Cor Saeva's bar. Including the extortionist expert...

 

* * * * * *

 

Stiehl suppressed a laugh. "You know the exact location of this treasure eh? How do you know I can't eat your brains and gain your memories?"

I pointed to one of the maps on the wall. "Ascension. I've been there." I pulled the books and armour out of my pack and put them on the table between us, serving as both proof that I was telling the truth, and an offer of payment. These sorts of relics were bound to be worth something to someone. "When I was in there, I encountered.... something..."
