The walls which wrap around Aluxa are towering white affairs, polished until they gleam. Passer-bys could almost swear that, if they decided to look more closely, they could see their own reflections on its surface. The seamless exterior is not interrupted by towers of any sort and tapers to an edge at the very top. Gates opens to the south, rather large ones that are currently missing doors. A pair of Toa, a guard and an Oathsworn, sit by the front to greet guests and keep an eye out for trouble.
The robed Toa, catching some movement in the corner of her eye, gets her guardsman's attention and points out the strange tendrils of animate lava. He moves closer to inspect them.

OOC: Oops, I meant fireroot.
IC: Small vines slowly sprout upwards, glowing slightly.

Seeing no harm in the local fauna, the Toa left it to go back to his post. He occasionally looked over to see how it's growing.
A while later, at the end of his shift, he noticed twelve beings approaching. A greeting was unnecessary; they immediately told him what they needed. He could easily sympathize, especially with travelers in this harsh land. "We have a small fountain just inside the gates. Please, enter." He stepped aside from the still-vacant archway and gestured towards the easily-visible source of water.

The plants remain as they did.
The sisters of the skrall make their way to the fountain, huffing and puffing, and drink till they regain their strength. "Thank you... how can we re-pay you?"

"Repay us?" The guardsman shakes his head. "There's no need! This land is a harsh one; life will be easier if we all help those in need, don't you think?"

The one smiles. "Yes, such a world would be one to live in."
"Not everyone agrees with that however. Say you asked one of those rahkshi things for a back rub, it'd more then likely-"
"Stab you in the back, we know." The other eleven groan.
The first one turns back to the guardsman. "Perhaps there is some way that we too can help? We have nowhere else to go."
OOC: I'll move this to inside the walls.

Hundreds of light resistant rahkshi, rahkshi-kal, Phantokshi, Rahkshi-Nui, and Phantokshi-Nui teleport over. One, and only one, steps forward, claws clenched tight around its staff.

"Hsss... we wish to speak with your leader."
"Do you want war? Is that it?" It plunges it's staff into the rock, causing a tremendous roar to break through the air as the ground cracks and trembles before the Rahkshi-Kal's titanic power. "You have one chance to keep the peace you so foolishly think you've earned!"

"Whoa, whoa, hold on there!" The Guardsman that had taken the place of the former urgently raised a hand. The situation didn't look good, especially not for him. Here he was, outside of the gateless walls, and he had little to no backup. "We'll call him, but he might be busy. We'll have to see."
He turned to the Oathsworn, who had already read his thoughts and was nodding. This was no place for the Lorekeeper. She swiftly sent out a telepathic message to her fellows, warning them of the danger, and then called out to her superior.
My lord Mutrex! There is a powerful, potentially hostile force at the southern gates! Please come and be our Voice!

The rock continues to crack at a mild pace, disrupting the tense silence every few seconds.
Mutrex appears directly next to the Rahkshi-Kal, his presence instantly dispelling any illusions, invisibility, or stealth. His radiant light is almost enough to kill outright, overloading any shield that it might have.

Alright, here you go, no illusions, no invisibility, no stealth, just cold hard facts; There is a massive army of super rahkshi with extremely light resistant armor ready to level Aluxia if Mutrex makes another wrong move.
The Panrahk Kal puts it's staff between him and the makuta, one end still in the ground. "You just love pushing your luck, don't you?"

The Uncreator, who'd been giving himself a tour of the city's streets, detects the occurrence at the walls. He disappears in a flash of blue light and immediately reappears near the scene in another, watching from a distance. His data entry for the city is near complete... and all that remains is the observation of any offensive power to render his visit a success. Aluxa had unfortunately fallen short of his expectations, but that does not mean it has lost all potential. There yet still may be a place for it.

Mutrex looms, growing larger by the second. A giant of light, a crown of sunfire flickering around his head. The great second face creaks and distorts, mask flaring.
"You are not welcome in this city. You have come with hostile intent, and seek only to cause harm to the populace. You may leave now, or you will leave numbering many more than you started with.

"So be it." Mutex's mask explodes violently with enough force to to blow any normal makuta's head clean off, followed by the fracture in the ground suddenly becoming a small 200 bio wide canyon.
All of the air units rocket to the sky at insane speeds, and the walls begin to lose massive chunks due to Heat and Laser vision Phantokshi.
The walls suffer foundation damage from several Rahkshi-Kal with their staffs in the ground.
Mutrex's mask remains entirely unharmed, although his head explodes violently. Whatever caused it failed to kill him. Indeed, further attempts do nothing at all, merely deflecting off his body, to dissipate harmlessly. His legendary mask of mutation flashes once, and every Rahkshi in the area collapses, their powers stripped from them. Movement. That is all they are capable of now, and even that is hard, as they no longer have resilience to light. He continues to grow larger, damage fading out as though it was never there. He swings his hammer into the nearest rahkshi, which shatters upon touching the weapon. The shrapnel destroys every rahkshi it passes, punching through their armor as easily as air.
