The ground quake attacks continue, however, the missiles now self destruct in the upper atmosphere, sending the pent up seismic waves to travel downwards on their own.
Waves of disintegration energies suddenly blaze downwards upon the fortress. Calculated specifically to vaporize the built up missile shells, these waves wipe the missiles away while the next batch of attacks descend upon the fortress.
The next batch of attacks suddenly switch projectiles. Hundreds of high gravity kanoka begin raining down upon the fortress. These attacks are consolidated and aimed at two specific locations about the fortress. One point towards the right of the fortress, and the other towards the left.
These kanoka, now aimed about the outskirts of the ZE field, smash themselves into the ground, quickly causing two high gravity centers to develop on opposite sides of the fortress. As the attacks continue to rain down upon these centers, the gravity centers begin to rapidly increase in strength and size, quickly developing their own substantial gravitational pulls which begin to warp the environment in the region while also pulling strongly on all matter and energy around them. The fortress should begin to feel the two opposing gravitational pulls pulling at it's energy and structure.
The fortress' ZE aura keeps it from being dragged apart by the gravity. However, two figures- Adaptarix and Zurakia- emerge once again, standing atop the giant robot.
The fortress continues to charge up. Berserker completeion: 20%
A gust of Vacuum harrasses them, sucking Zurakia's cubes out of place and tugging Adaptarix towards the edge of the robot. A simple check would locate the source as an odd, newly teleported creature, fully encased in a metallic exoskeleton. The creature begins applying Hunger to it's surroundings, depriving it's foes of the scant energy they might gain.

A sudden deluge of acid descends upon the fortress.
At about the same time, a surge of powerful psionic forces attempt to smash the fortress's "head" into the rippling ground. This surge of force occurs quickly like an unseen shove, departing soon after appearing.
The ground, which has been under constant stress by the ongoing seismic pressures, begins to crack up and rupture all about and underneath the fortress, the shaking intensifying as the ground begins to break apart.

Decu blasts a terrible and concentrated shock wave at the source of the acid. If whatever cruel tyrant is safe from sonic detection, he must be in some state of low tangibility. If the Toa Manas is correct, the assailant would lose all molecular cohesion and become part of the shock wave long enough to be completely demolished.

Unfortunately for the Toa Manas, the attacks are not halted by this action. Perhaps the source of the attacks is out of range?

This acid is halted like the missiles, hanging in the air the moment the liquid touches the sphere of influence. The psionics comes through, but even if its head is slammed against the ground, the ground itself is destroyed more than the head, which only receives very minor dents, which are healed instantly by medics inside.
Because the aura is a giant sphere around the base- extending underneath the ground, it holds the ground in place, essentially keeping it together while forming an isolated bubble. Without hte ground being connected to the rest of the area as the rest is being torn apart by the quakes, it makes it easy to stabilize the ground and the fortress slowly gets to its feet again.
Energy continues to build up inside the fortress. Berserker completion: 30%

While initially partially effective, the fortress uses its aura defensively, holding the two in place, though working with them as not to hold them prisoner but give them extra resistance.
The hunger seems to work against the creature, as it is essentially building up a reservoir of energy inside it, which is not a very good thing when dealing with ZE
Adaptarix turns and motions towards it. The energy within explodes outwards from wherever it's stored, condensed into a single point that ruptures its head.

"Where are you?!?!" Decu unleashes a cone of sonic force and shatters a boulder far below (outside the ZE aura). Then he calms himself, focusing on the smallest of noises for many kio around.

The creature's Fire Resistance and preemptively active Density Control minimize damage, but some damage is still done to it's brain. It Adapts as the damage is being done, redistributing it's mind through it's nervous system and forming internal defenses. The creature hurls a devastating blast of fragmentation at the part of the fortress they stand on in response, aimed so as to not hit Adaptarix directly.

Energy continues to build up inside the fortress. Berserker completion: 30%
The seismic attacks are stepped up significantly, and the ground throughout the region shudders violently before collapsing into a pile of dust, rock, and debris. The Zurakian fortress and the island of earth it stands on appear as a towering column of cracked rock in the midst of a vast, almost region wide, depression/canyon in the ground.
Almost as soon as this has occurred, the acid rain that was falling atop the fortress suddenly spreads out and away from the fortress, now pouring down upon the vast hole surrounding the Zurakian fortress's island of rock.
* *
In conjunction with this acid rain fall, a mass of polluted water from the great sea suddenly teleports into this depression. Several such masses appear until the entire hole is completely filled with filthy water. The acid rain continues to pour down, quickly mixing with the water, and turning it into a lethal, and highly corrosive substance.
Once this has been accomplished, nothing else happens for a few seconds. Suddenly, the Zurakian fortress is slammed into by a wealth of psionic forces which, acting quickly and focusing on key targets such as the feet, legs, and upper body, attempt to send the robot stumbling forwards off of its island and ungracefully into the huge lake of acid.

"AAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Agony crushes Decu's soul as the acid mixes with the water, it's chemical reaction giving off strangling sounds as well as inaudible lashes. Then the Toa Manas is over charged with a second poison. Rage and suffering fuse together inside Decu's heartlight, adding to one another and pulsing their energies through every muscle in their host's body. He wants it all to end, but suicide is a surrender to the forces at work. Decu will live to see the day where the claw and venom of the Universe is unwritten, the day where his vengeance is completed.
Silence blankets the lake of mutagenic waters, though it's stillness is unlike any power conjured by a normal Toa of Sonics. The pool is frozen. The acid slows it's reactions to a near stop. All is quiet.

They take advantage of this freeze, Zurakia letting loose a powerful blast of energy behind the fortress, simultaneously cancelling out gravity to allow the behemoth to be launched forwards, quickly passing over the frozen pool of acid to regain its footing just outside of it.
It continues to charge up energy, a slight, physical burning starting to be felt by anyone nearby thanks to the sheer amount of it.

The creature's eyes narrow as it realizes what it has granted Adaptarix. Adaptarix is promptly assailed by a tightly focused Cyclone bearing enough force to toss and shatter houses... Well, if it were bigger, anyway.
The Time Dilator returns with the Rode Kanoka from the Ta-Metru Warehouse. In practically-stopped time, he forges it into a mask and designs a method to make it compatible with his system, donning it.
Combined with Energy Scanning, he should be able to see through the energy-neutral targets with ease and report back to the Stronghold.
However, he also develops a new technology that had been on the brink of development for some time. With light came heat, and with heat, came energy. This could lead to a possibility of manipulating light through the energy inside it. He spends several years on it until he perfected it, and then went in to retrofit the Fortress with it.

Inside the Fortress' aura, the cyclone stops all movement as soon as it gets close to him, having no effect.
However, Manipulator has this strange creature instead turn the cyclone on the newly-arrived Xian ship.

The psuedokuta is teleported out momentarily and activates Adaptation, eliminating energy-based biological systems in favor of mechanical ones in it's first attempt to resist. It is returned in the blink of an eye. The Xian Ship easily counteracts the cyclone with it's elemental systems.
