Chapter 34: Attack!
Back in the neighborhood, Toabots, Toa, Autobot and Makutacons had scattered across various points or the area, quickly turning it into a battlefield as bullets flew through the air, hitting walls and narrowly dodging their targets. Even Green had decided to duck into the alleyway in order to avoid the gunfire. And with each passing second, the shooting and the battle cries exchanged between both teams only got louder and louder.
But as Green had then decided to get up from the hard-rock floor, he had also decided to ignore the battle for the fate of the world going on behind him, focusing instead on everyone else. Pow, Maze and Edward all just seemed to remain still and wide eyed as the thought of Gahu's dying form just seemed to pop into their minds over and over again. Luckily Golden hadn't seen anything, though he DID look quite scared as the gunfire continued echoing across the sky.
Then Green looked over at Angela, seeing in her a look of fear, sadness, shock and disbelief. Seriously, Angela did NOT look OK. And Green became worried all the more as Angela had started heavily breathing and looking horrified at nothing, eyes filled with more shock than the rest of her body. Green had to admit, he was shocked too. Until now, Green had never really had a view of such a gruesome, and the mere image still refused to remove itself from Greens mind.
But as Green had just decided to focus all of his attention on Angela, then running to her and hugging her, all of the fear had seemed to fade away, and instead fill Green with a new form of bravery. Angela took no hesitation in hugging Green back, holding him tightly against herself as she immediately started crying into his left shoulder. To further comfort her, Green put the left side of his head on top of Angela's, not caring who was watching them as long as he was making her feel better. And for Golden too, as he decided to join in.
But back to the newly forming emotion, deep in the center of Greens light, it seemed to to not only encourage him to want to do something, but it also made him think less of the way Gahu had just died, and more about the bravery he had shown in standing up to someone who he knew was stronger and more powerful than him. Green tightened a fist in his free right hand, feeling the example empower him to stop doing what he was doing right now.
No longer was Green going to be like all of the other Matoran who would normally just turn and run. Now, whether or not any of the other Toa would agree with him on this, they had all come too far for Green to not offer this at all. He knew this was why Ketongu was supposed to be his protector, but for today he decided, he wouldn't need it. He knew Paradox advised against this back at the Turaga Council base, but it didn't matter anymore. He knew what they were fighting for, and he was GOING to help them fight it.
Then looking back outside, not feeling a single ounce of his new-found courage thin as he heard the gunfire once more, he said: "We've gotta help them".
A silence passed by as the three other Toa looked down at Green in wide eyed disbelief. Angela and Golden both released each other, both looking up at Green the same way.
"What"?, Pow asked him in a worried tone.
Edward gave Green a blank look, responding: "Green, let's not get ahead of ourselves alright"? Then getting down on his knees and looking him in the eyes: "You heard the plane, we're supposed to be protecting you". "And I for one, think we'll manage that job best by not going out there, and risking our lives in all that gunfire trying to be heroes".
"I will also go ahead and remind you that the Makutacon leader just murdered Gahu, a TOA"., Maze told him. "If he, along with the rest of us, couldn't manage to stop a single Makutacon, what chance will we have now"?
Green just looked around himself at both the toa and the other matoran he had grown to love. It was was more than evident right now that they were all scared out of their minds, and they had good reason to be too. But to Green, it didn't make a difference how much more powerful a single Makutacon was compared to the combined might of a team of Toa and a single Autobot. What mattered to him right now was that they helped the Toabots now like they had been helping him.
Then looking up at all three Toa, Green responded: "I think we'll do much better if we stop focusing on our fears and focus on what we can STILL do". "STOP letting Gahu's death get to you, cause that's going to get you killed a lot faster than this war will all on it's own". "Let's go out there right now, and honor his sacrifice by fighting for the safety and forgiveness of everyone else". Green looked to Edward, knowing him to always be the one to continue protesting, and begged: "Please Edward, we owe him this, if not the Toabots".
Edward remained silent for a while, deciding to take in what Green had just told him. As completely stupid as this matoran's motive was, especially now that were literally in the middle of this war, Green was right on his words when he told them that the fear was going to kill them faster than the war would. Much as he hated to admit it, Green was ALSO right when he suggested doing this would be the right thing to honor Gahu's death.
Then letting out an aggravated sigh, Edward responded: "Fine then". Then getting up and lending a hand for Green to take. Green took it glad-fully, then hearing Edward say: "But no matter what, you all stick with US, OK"? "You Stay in the middle and there won't be any problems".
Green simply grinned, responding: "Understood".
Green looked then at Angela's still wide eyed form on the ground, offering both hands to her and Golden, who took it immediately. Angela looked pleadingly in Greens eyes for a second, seeming to literally beg him not to do this. But in return, Green gave HER a look that seemed to beg her to trust him on this. Angela shut her eyes tightly for a second, forcing herself not to punch his pakari off. MAN, how much she hated that face, it wasn't even funny.
Angela opened her eyes then, taking Greens hand and allowing him to pull her up onto her feet, then giving him a glare that seemed to say: Put yourself in danger ONCE, and you're going to PAY. Green just gave her a grin, silently promising that there wouldn't be any promises. Angela turned around, letting out an aggravated groan. She SWORE she loved him too much for his own good, and for once, it sucked.
Edward gave Green a tap to the right shoulder then, hoping to get his attention. Green looked over to a grinning Edward who had the handle of a pistol pointed in Greens direction.
"If I'm dying here in action, I'm making sure the one who made me make this decision die with the rest of us"., Edward told him.
Green took it then, responding: "Well luckily for all of us, I know how to use it". "My dad made me shoot a lot of guns when I was younger".
Edward looked curiously to Angela who gave a nod to confirm what Green said to be a truth.
Then looking to Green with yet another smile, taking out his thornaxx pistol and loading it with a thornaxx fruit, Edward said: "Alright then, let's go to war".

Just nearby this very conversation, Blocker had managed to listen in by hacking into one of the Toa's earpieces and then tracking their very location, along with calculating the path they would be running down in just a few short moments. Of course this wasn't all easy work, he had to try doing this for a sum total of two boring minutes just for his conclusion to come right here. He grinned then, knowing for a fact now that they'd at least be coming soon as he then pressed a button on his back and gave a small command.
"Savage, eject"., Blocker ordered.
Just then, a black snake-like Makutacon jumped out of a slot in his back, then quickly slithering onto another part in this long alleyway, and then folding itself under its head and arranging the blaster on the end of his tail next to said head, laying it, arranging it to make it look like a regular weapon. Finally, Blocker just smiled as he looked at Savage's finished transformation: A black chest plate and a silver blaster.
Sure, he wouldn't be able to move in this form, but then again, wasn't this exactly why it could easily fool a group of Toa and Matoran? Blocker sure thought so as he then gave Savage a nod and then turned towards the opening between this alley and the next, this one being on left side. He was still needed in this war and the Toabots were probably everywhere. Surely he had somewhere else to be. Plus, trying to kill that Le-matoran was getting just a bit boring.
And no sooner than the second he started his turn into the left alley, he immediately saw Ketongu far across on the other side, WAITING for him. From there, Blocker simply stood, waiting for words to be exchanged before making any sudden movements towards his opponent. He could easily admit that he was heartless, but was he really all that unfair. Blocker scoffed. Well, ok. Maybe a little, but seeing as this was an actual battle, he'd at least have a LITTLE honor, as much of a pain as it'd be.
"Hey there"., Ketongu told him, then combining both of his blasters which transformed together into a golden katanna. "Don't we still have a score to settle"?
Blocker grinned, then taking out a single Chainsaw sword and replying: "That we do, Toabot of light". "Why don't I go ahead and dim the element from your eyes"?
Ketongu taunted Blocker with a single hand movement, then saying: "I'd like to see you try".
And with that being said, Ketongu and Blocker charged quickly at each other, both ready to bring in the best of their skills into this fight. Upon reaching each other, both flipped up into the air, swinging their blades at each other, but the blades only made impact with each other as they them flipped away from each other, landing a few feet across from each other, back to back. Blocker quickly turned around, facing ketongu as he then threw three spinning stars in his direction.
Ketongu already knew this coming, but decided to show off a little. He quickly split his sword back into the two blasters on his forearm, quickly twirling around and shooting at these metal projectiles, blowing all three to pieces, before then shooting at Blocker. Blocker twirled to his left, narrowly dodging each bullet that came at him, then deciding to block any further shots with swift deflection swings from his chain-sword.
Success, a bullet ended up deflecting right off of Blocker's chain-sword and heading right in Ketongu's direction. Ketongu saw this and without a seconds hesitation, shot it in midair, then dodging another sword swing from the Makutacon with a duck and a roll narrowly underneath it. Upon stopping, Ketongu jumped up with a flip, attempting a swing with his renewed katanna, but Blocker was too quick for this to take any effect. Blocker had twirled around just in time to block Ketongu's sword with his own, both caught now in a push the other one down sort of game.
Both smiled then, realizing that though this was clearly going to take a while, at least it was going to be quite a large sum of fun for the equally matched opponents.

Paradox was thrown once more, against a brick wall that immediately threatened to collapse on him, should he not move out of the way soon. Paradox looked up then, being quicker this time to roll to his right side and dodge an axe swing from Killer, which instead hit and completely destroyed the wall. This blow was also destructive enough as to knock a few of the said bricks on him, distracting him for what Paradox hoped was long enough to do something to at least WEAKEN his brother. Wrong.
For as Paradox tried to stab ahead with his right blade, Killer quickly dodged him by simply moving out of its way and then twirling into the air, giving Paradox a hard kick to the jaw. Paradox was quick enough to recover from this to raise up his right arm-blade and block an axe swing from Killer. Paradox raised his left arm-blade then, blocking the claw under Killers spiked shield, and trying desperately to push him back. Instead this plan backfired on him and he was pushed back hard enough where his back would've made a hard impact with the floor, if he didn't immediately roll backwards and use his left arm-blade to stop himself from falling any farther back, lightly skidding it on the Concrete road.
Killer charged and Paradox jumped over him with a sideways twirl, cutting Killer in the back with a right arm-blade. Killer let out a roar of pain, then spinning around to swing his axe at paradox, but Paradox had already landed just in time to block it with his right arm-blade, only for the front of his face to be met with a hard smack from Killer's spiked shield, knocking him back a few feet, and then causing his back to skid on the ground, bringing up flying sparks.
Paradox managed to redirect the inertia to send himself jumping up, then activating his wings and flying fast towards Killers direction. Killer was barely fast enough to react, but swung his axe as quick as he could none the less. Paradox ducked low enough to narrowly dodge the swing as his shoulder then made a hard impact with the rest of Killers body, actually knocking him back a ways, through a wooden wall so old, a foggy dust erupted from impact.
Paradox slowly approached the hole then, saying in his battle stance: "Though I have never been one to follow in the actions in revenge, you will rightfully pay for what you have done"!
Killer suddenly emerged from the hole in the wall, getting back into his own stance as he replied: "Funny words from someone else who is about to do the same, for betraying OUR KIND"!, then angrily charging Paradox.
Paradox waited for the right moment before then rolling to his right side, away from the charging killer and then attempting a swing with his left arm-blade. But Killer was much quicker, immediately spinning in his direction and blocking Paradox's swing with his axe, then hitting Paradox across the face with the flat side of his spiked shield. Paradox tried desperately to stay on his feet after that, but again Killer was too quick. Killer picked Paradox up by his left foot then, swing him into another brick wall.
As Paradox let out a groan from the pain he immediately felt in the rest of his body, he quickly got up from the impact and braced himself for whatever Killer had for him next. Knowing just what was at stake here, Paradox was NOT going to stand down, regardless of how much better of a fighter Killer was than him. He was outmatched but not out-willed. Even now as Killer came rushing through the dust clouding the hole he had been thrown through, there was no way he was going to back down. Not if it meant giving up on the people of Earth.

Not too far away from Paradox and Killer's fight, Solar Scream stood in an alley way, one he had decided to go through in order to kill whatever Bionicle, Transformer and Toabot he came across. And as he decided to creep stealthily down the said alley, towards a fast series of noises of metal clashing, he made a grin. For once he had gotten close to the end, he noticed the fight going on between his master and Paradox. Finally, he had found SOMETHING worth all of this time hunting!
Solar Screams face nearly changed to one of disappointment once he remembered Killer's order: To leave Paradox to him. But that same grin returned once he realized that he had never really said anything about him injuring Paradox. Immediately, Solar Scream flipped the gun on his right arm up into a long barreled pistol, then pointing it in Paradox's direction and saying: "Sorry Paradox, but I'm getting bored".
Suddenly, Solar Scream felt and just barely saw something run into him, knocking him far back, causing him to skid across the ground and sending sparks flying in several direction. Solar Scream groaned then as his skid-ride stopped. Not only had that actually hurt, but just the SOUND of metal skidding across a concrete floor irritated him. In anger, Solar Scream jumped up onto his feet, seeing just ahead of him, a glaring Athena. Paradox's wife.
"You'll have to kill me first"., Athena told him, raising both of her fists.
Solar Scream grinned then, deciding not to bother with his arm guns as he raised his own. THIS was going to be FUN.
"Oh, my PLEASURE"!, Solar Scream exclaimed, then charging at Athena who simply stood there, waiting for him to get close.
And just like Athena had been expecting, once Solar Scream got up in front of her, he attempted to strike first, and with his left arm. Big mistake., Athena thought, quickly ducking, turning and grabbing Solar Scream's said arm, surprising him. Just then, Solar Scream felt himself being lifted quickly up and being hurled to his right side, flying rather painfully through a brick wall. No, THREE brick walls, landing outside on the front of his body.
Immediately, Solar Scream rolled to his right side, then getting up and blocking a kick from Athena, thinking: This is going to be REAL FUN!
