A teleportation occurs, and fifty-three Rahkshi, one Keelerak, and what appears to be some form of red Visorak headed kanohi dragon appear in the area.
The Keelerak scuttles atop the dragon's back as it leaps forwards, spreading its wings to fly towards the mountainous obstruction that, by last report, hid a reclusive Makuta's base. The Rahkshi hop upon their staffs and soar behind, and about the dragon.
The group is contact by telepathy.
"Master is not home, say your word and leave. Rahkshi are forbidden here."

"Master is not home, say your word and leave. Rahkshi are forbidden here."
Torzek responds. "You may tell your master that one who wishes to restore a balance of power to this world would wish an audience with him. The world is overrun with armies, weapons and war, and, seeing as I am in a position to know your master refused to assist the Brother-Hood as it is now, I am thinking that he would agree."
"Master is not home, say your word and leave. Rahkshi are forbidden here."
Torzek responds. "You may tell your master that one who wishes to restore a balance of power to this world would wish an audience with him. The world is overrun with armies, weapons and war, and, seeing as I am in a position to know your master refused to assist the Brother-Hood as it is now, I am thinking that he would agree."
"The message will be delivered as soon as possible."

"The message will be delivered as soon as possible."
Torzek, slightly annoyed, hovers in the air for a moment, as he responds. " Very Well. I am waiting."
The Rahkshi hover around the dragon as he glances around the area. Clearly unsatisfied, he barks out for the Rahkshi to follow him as he descends downwards to a position just a few yards away from the foot of Equinox's rocky base.
Alighting upon the ground, Torzek allows the Keelerak to hop off.
"Our options?"
The Keelerak responds in a short, formal manner. "We may wait here. We may order spies to seek out the Makuta. We may inquire of the gatekeeper if it possesses the skills we need. We may forcefully seize the base. We may leave and seek another Makuta."
"Fine. We wait here. If this Makuta takes to long we may need to give him a reason to return. You left out an alternative course of action.
"And that would be?"
"If we fail to draw his attention, we set events in motion that will."
"Good." "There are always more options than are obvious."

The group, just as soon as the last word leaves Torzek's mouth, find themselves frozen in time. Equinox and his small band of Rahi appear, having taken a brisk walk home. The Vahtakran Hagah make swift work of the frozen Rahkshi, slicing the Kraata in two with their saw-blade shields before utter obliterating them with their various powers. Equinox's Rahi are returned to their proper places and he sets the special Zamor Sphere containing Valkia into some machine which begins analyzing her mind and draining her knowledge. After which Equinox returns outside as his guards take their respective posts, but not before they kill the Keelerak and send its corpse to be feed to some of the Rahi.
Time returns back to normal and the dragon finds Equinox standing in front of him and all the forces it brought dead. Before Torzek can even process this new information, his head slams into the ground by Accuracy added Gravity that has been increased fifty fold. The dragon's mind is then seized by Equinox's powerful and superior developed power of Rahi Control. Should Torzek be immune to the power of Rahi Control for some reason, Ciakran immediately shuts down the dragon's mental capacities to send out signals to command his body. His jaw, wings, limbs, and tail would all become unresponsive, even his subconsciously controlled aspects such as breathing.
"I am well aware of who you are Torzek. Charix is failure at making Rahi as he is delusional that direct rule of the world is needed. It seems that I am required to fix this rebellious, worthless serpent."

"I am well aware of who you are Torzek. Charix is failure at making Rahi as he is delusional that direct rule of the world is needed. It seems that I am required to fix this rebellious, worthless serpent."
Once again powerless before a Makuta, Torzek attempts to verbally and mentally communicate to Equinox. There is a degree of uncharacteristic stress in his tone.
"Lord Makuta, your coming is filled with might as is befitting of your privileged position. But I am afraid you mistake your servant for an enemy. It would be fully understandable for you to smash me for the sins of my creator, but listen longer and you would know that I possess knowledge that would topple delusional Charix's rule."

Torzek finds his mind being ripped to shreds by Ciakran as she steals away all knowledge the dragon possesses to see what he's talking about.
"Charix has no rule, he has already position himself to fall. I need only wait and he will simply be no more."

"Charix has no rule, he has already position himself to fall. I need only wait and he will simply be no more."
Ciakran learns that all of Charix's newest weapons are merely shells governed by Kraata. Evidently Torzek was planning on developing some form of Kratta killing device that would, in his mind, cripple Charix's armies. Ciakran also learns that Torzek has orchestrated a rather large secret coup against Charix, enlisting the help of a wealth of Keelerak. Torzek's breaking mind also betrays his idea that Equinox might sponsor his effort in return both for the promised death of Charix and subsequent change in world affairs it might create.
Torzek attempts to call mentally for help while trying to answer the Makuta. He grows noticable unsettled and anxious as he speaks, realizing that for the first time, his life is In jeapordy. "So indeed, you despise the current wars the Makuta are engaged in and await a return to simpler times. So you sit and wait. But the Makuta have rallied to Charix. He relies not only on fragile armies but also upon the loyalty of his brothers. His organization grows in strength and is self sustaining. Unless a force greater than it acts against it it shall persist. Do you await the demise of Charix himself? Even if he does perish, the institution he has built will simply pass to another Makuta of his choosing, and you will have what amounts to another Charix to deal with. Sabotage, secret strikes, outright resistance. His organization must be opposed now before it becomes entrenched in the new Brother-Hood Charix is creating. I sought you for assistance because you reject this warrior existence. Strike Charix down and remake the world to your preference. A war to end the wars! Claim the right to beat the swords into plow shares and the Spears into pruning hooks! And I can help you get there, I can help you! I have assets, connections, technologies, knowledge of Charix's tactics. You despise war, I can be your hand, I can do the work for you, if you smash me the work I have done will fall apart, at worst, the loyalists I have gathered will form their own, separate war driven empire. I am needed to give them vision, sustain them."

Torzek finds that his plea for help is blocked by Ciakran, there will be no reinforcements.
"Incorrect. I rather not see a brother as valuable as Charix die, but if he chooses to die following delusions I will let him. He faces an enemy greater than he knows, one that even laughs at my own temporal powers. It is imperative that he weaken them enough to be destroyed or perhaps prove me wrong and defeat this Great Being and his false creations. Seeing as you are just as short sighted as your maker, I cannot have you weakening my brother at such a crucial time as this."
The dragon isn't given time to respond or think on this information much as Equinox uses his powers of Sleep to send Torzek into a deep slumber. Equinox turns around and heads towards his base as Vahtakran race out and quickly and easily carry Torzek into the base. Once in his lab, Equinox tinkers with Torzek and the viruses making him, adding some new ones as well as altering some old ones. By the time he is done, Torzek is still as intelligent and cunning as before, but completely subservient to Charix, a loyal follower that even mind control or emotional manipulation couldn't even turn. That and a need to either consume all the traitors in Charix's army. Old memories of ever trying to turn against the Makuta and Brotherhood are gone. In fact, in his memory there was another dragon like him that he killed for trying to betray his master.
When Torzek awakes back outside of Equinox's base, he is a changed creature. Equinox is standing before him and the dragon feels some amnesia, he can't remember why he was here especially when there were still some traitors to deal with. He doesn't have much time to deal on this as he is overtaken by Equinox's Rahi Control, a small piece of insurance the Makuta added in case he would ever have to fight Charix. If need be, Equinox can always control the dragon. He mounts Torzek and commands the creature, the two taking off as they fly back to the base from where Torzek came.

Equinox returns and checks the machine which has done its job and has all of Valkia's knowledge and quite a decent understand of her unusual powers. Something to look into further at a later date. In the mean time, Equinox has Feskran create more Thought Tweeters and several other Rahi while he goes out into the world again.
Meditating and continuously receiving knowledge, Ciakran contracts a few of her sibling guards.
"Treakran, Prolkran, our enemy Umbrax and his forces have been silent for quite some time. Father would be pleased to here that we have taken the Labyrinthine Caves and claimed all property within as ours."
Oh, that place. It was such a pain, I would love to pick it clean of anything useful.
It shall be purged and perfected.
"Hurry up then, no telling when he will return."
The two Vahtakran Hagah zip out of fortress, with several Devour Stones coming with them and a few Vahtakran with Rahi, Insect, and Plantlife control powers. Many Thought Tweeters come with them as well.
Portals open in the sky and pods fall to the ground emitting waves of power.
Slowly, the dead beings of this topic rise cracking through layers of ice and rock as they are given new life. Their orders are simple gather more to be as enlightened as them.

There are no dead here, Equinox keeps his lands pretty clean. The forces of this base analyse the pod with various equipment, learning in a relatively short time what it does and somehow for how it works. With it being a potential problem, it is sent away by a dimensional gate into the world's dumping ground of Atero Nui.
