Strolling through the courtyards, Makuta Malefix notices the tremors. He instantaneously teleports in front of an RMS "Go check the seismiograph or whatever Destral's installed and figure out what that was." He then casts his mind outwards, searching methodically for any unexpected beings underground.

(slip does he find anything? )
Shadow kraata rahkshi WAAAAAAAAYYYY beneath Destral know what it is... massive giant robots. Malefix also learns that the Brotherhood has a particle accelerator.
Antermina teleports to her practice room; a large expanse of space littered with scorch marks and splinters of metallic armors she has shattered over the years. She snaps her fingers and, with a flicker of light, a large pile of practice dummies appears in the corner. She sets one up magnetically, pacing while she thinks. "What powers to test, in the first place? Artidax said something about being able to control energy. Therefore, I should be able to do the same." The makuta teleports a rahkshi of Electricity into the room. Make a bubble of electricity around that dummy. The rahkshi does so. Antermina focuses on controlling the energy without actually using Electricity. A difficult habit to break, after 100,000 years. With some difficulty she finds the correct mental lever and flips it, causing the electricity to contract inwards and scorch the metallic mannequin. "Intriguing. So simple, and yet so... Strange. But using it on things I can already control is useless." The makuta sends the rahkshi away without a second thought and fills the room with plasma. The plasma dissipates, leaving the room filled with heat that would turn wood to ash in seconds. She quickly remembers to use Fire Resistance. Antermina focuses on the heat, compacting it into a ball the size of her fist. The room turns cold once more as the air flares into plasma. It shines with unbridled heat, corralled by naught but her will. "A useful application. Good." She shoves the ball of heat away from her without lifting a finger and lets it explode, reducing the already scorched dummy into nothing but a puddle on the floor.
"What else? After our evolution, we gained the ability to control machines. I wonder if that ability has been increased at all...?" Antermina releases a bolt of her antidermis, which swirls around and zaps into the wall. The rock glows and cracks form. A slab breaks free of the rest and shapeshifts into a form identical to Antermina's main body. The two speak in unison. "Interesting..."

"So I can use walls - and other things, I presume - as bodies now. Useful. Hmm. Usually when one can control something, they can also sense it. So can I sense energy in general now...?" She reaches out with her mind, searching for the varied energies of Destral...

...And is overwhelmed with a barrage of nonsensical input. Her thoughts are shredded by an endless barrage of sights and sounds, the sensation of energy flowing through a rahkshi's armor, the constant explosion in a star an incomprehensible distance away. The sensory barrage presses against her mind, and her mind crumples beneath the unexpected and unending stream of everything, pouring unfiltered into her thoughts. She stumbles into the wall, muttering whispers into the cold rock surface. Every so often she shrieks as a rare painful or terrifying image flits through her mind unhindered.

Something orderly presses against her mind for a moment; A message from some makuta to her. Not that she can do anything about it. The Makuta rises to her feet slowly and jumps back as she sees a solar flare erupt in her general direction. She stumbles toward the door, only vaguely aware of her immediate surroundings.

As Umbrax focuses on Destral from miles and miles away, he senses Antermena. In a rare moment of benevolence he yells at her mentally. HOLD ON TO IT! Focus on one specific thing, on just Destral!

Antermina hears a second mental message, almost as loud as a whisper. Focus on Destral? She brings what willpower she has to bear and focuses on Destral; On the image of the fortress, and the legions of rahkshi. Galaxies hurtle back into their corners of the universe as suddenly the island that is her home floods her senses. She reaches out and touches the wall, seeing every corner of the island in an incredible new way. ...Thank you. It made sense, of course. Eyes didn't work unless they were focused either. You can't listen in a loud building without concentrating on the voice speaking to you. Of course, eyes didn't turn you insane if they lost focus.

Karunax walks away from a large pile of Exo-Toa that he just obliterated with his bare hands. Now that some of his frustration is vented, he figures it is long past time he paid someone a real visit. After all, he owes this someone a great deal.

Energy hounds are assigned to ten squads (260 troops) prepared to kill the new evolution of "Plasma Makuta." They are chiefly composed of Su- and Ko-Toa, though other relevant elements like Iron and Gravity are included along with species who can withstand extreme temperatures. Energy Extraction Rifles, Griffin Gauntlets, Energy Siphon Blades, and Nynrah Ghost Blasters are provided to them in place of their typical switchblade/rifle/heat ray loadout. The ESB replaces the switchblades.

Antermina watches the new RMS team and idly wonders why Rahi are part of the team designed to take down Makuta when they can be Controlled so easily. Unless the team is top secret and she doesn't know about it.
