The aura takes control of the acid and ports it away as every medic in the building gets to work repairing the damage. Though not what it was going to be used for, the large build-up of energy the Fortress had been charging up is used to rapidly speed up the process, albeit stalling Berserker's reconstruction. Manipulator is repaired pretty quickly, due to the large swarm of medics and his small size.
Repair level: 20% (thanks to the large build-up of energy speeding it up) Berserker reconstruction: 50%
Upon the attack, the Time Dilator begins going around, trying to install a meager teleport blocker on the fortress. Given he is mostly working on his own, he is not able to fully implement it and is essentially a large, unprotected bulb on the outside of the fortress, casting a different aura- which he spent several weeks making sure would synergize with the ZE aura already in place. A full integration would have to wait until the battle was complete and he had complete compliance with the Fortress.
A disintegration bolt is shot at the new construct from as near as elasticity can get.
It is destroyed, but the Time Dilator replaces it instantly, and Adaptarix readies himself to protect it.

OOC: I would assume most of the medics inside the head and chest portions of the fortress that were partially flooded would have been incapacitated or smashed due to their initial immersion in acid, thus making the overall surge of repairs take longer, as the medics themselves would need to be repaired.
In any case, my full response will happen soon. I've got to run now.
OOC: There would definitely be a substantial amount of casualties, but seeing as the acid/seismic/etc wasn't targeting where the troops were specifically, it wouldn't have gotten more than a sizeable chunk out of whoever was caught in the flood or nearby other targets. Combined with the gargantuan amount of energy the stronghold itself had stored up, it shouldn't make much of a difference.
Even as Adaptarix keeps an eye on the teleblocker, he and Zurakia look up into the sky. Suddenly, both of them take on a crackling, blue hue thanks to Monopolizer and unleash a gargantuan beam of energy towards the source of the attacks. The teleportation attack was untraceable, but the massive barrage of missiles prior had given them a fairly accurate idea of where the attacks were coming from.
Boosted by Monopolizer, the blasts should reach their destination and, if they hit, do severe damage.
Without warning, both silence barriers die just as fast as they were made. Swords born of sonic force with unexpected power carve a perfect hole right through the pseodokuta's stomach.
The Toa Manas speaks. "If you know what's best for you, you'll leave."
The pseudokuta shrieks in agony, inadvertently turning that shriek into a partial power scream. Quick Healing seals it's stomach as it speaks. "I will fight for my allies."
His teeth gnashed together at the wounded yelp, crushing any instincts that might send him over the edge. The toa was in control, not the manas. Even so, his lighter side held no radiance. His lighter side was a pane of glass that fruitlessly tried to mask the pitch color of a monster's heart. "You will bleed for your allies."
Massive exploding sounds infected the air at the creation of sonic beams in and around the pseudokuta.

The Atlantis teleports a vast column of metal from some part of the landscape into the path of the blast, high above the teleport blocker's range. Reinforced with Pakari, Density Control, and Kiril, it should be able to block a decent chunk of the blast.
30 rahkshi kaita of Dodge, Accuracy, and Gravity are teleported down to assail the fortress. They fling boulders and such at Adaptarix and Zurakia with their powers.

Massive exploding sounds infected the air at the creation of sonic beams in and around the pseudokuta.
The Pseudokuta dropped to his knees at the sound, but Adaptation granted him the mercy of deafness in a fraction of a second. He unleashed the power of vacuum this time, forcing the area around him to be void of air.
Head aching as it healed from the devastating sound that did(perhaps still does?) reach him, the pseudokuta lashed out with Magnetism, crushing each piece of Decu's armor in toward every other piece.

They both easily blast apart the boulders as they come their way.
The Rahkshi are in return counter-attacked by Zurakia teleporting into their midst while Adaptarix simultaneously unravels and surrounds them with a good dozen of very long tendrils. The former unleashes a nova of energy as soon as he teleports, and the latter strikes like a dozen vipers on any who aren't caught in the blast.

Yay for mild distractions
The Rahkshi Kaita use Dodge to avoid anything that has the physical space needed to dodge, and fling more boulders at Adaptarix to annoy him.

Given that Adaptarix is split up into tendrils, this has no real effect. Because the Rahkshi were sandwiched in between the spiked tendrils and the rapidly-expanding blast of energy, Dodge wouldn't be able to save all of them.

Welp, drat. The Atlantis takes a few potshots at Zurakia with it's railguns.

Both of them teleport back to the Stronghold, from which the railguns would be unable to pierce the aura.

Metal groaned and scrapeed in the sloshing confines of the creature's muscle and flesh. His limbs folded close to his body and stayed there, pinned by an unforgiving fundamental strength. Sharper pieces of bladed armor made cleaner paths to the monster's protosteel bones, while the flat plates were not as merciful. Despite all of this horror, the animal could be heard laughing. Protodermis choked out of his mouth to accompany the wet, strangled cough. Thank the Supreme Being that the pseudokuta adapted in time, no soul should ever have to hear such a perversion of sound. "Ihhks thakt hkall!?!" The beams of sonic force inside the pseudokuta rupture all physical connections not made of pure energy.

The pseudokuta's last power scream of agony is silenced to a whisper by the vacuum that surrounds him. Decu is left partially magnetized as the air claps in on the remains of the creature.

Either by grace, or by a lust for even more horror, an unseen hand undid the magnetic grasp crushing the monster together. Limbs fell from their gouged out homes and slid across a mangled body to find rest on the protodermis stained ground. All of the while, the beast continued in its Mata-Nui forsaken laughter, at least until a painful concentration seized his mind. His heartlight was growing dim, but a formidable yet venomous energy was still flowing inside. The monster had lost a considerable amount of his lifeforce, so he had elected to replace it with something far more efficient, though far more painful.

Muscles and organic tissue pulled itself back into shape with gargled sounds.

At last, the regeneration was complete. The Toa Manas climbed to his full height and clattered his silver claws against eachother. Inside of him, fire mixed with poison to keep every protodermis cell active.
As per my post in the Spherus Manga orbit, the fleet scatters out of the way of whatever energy tries to assail it, each ship teleporting a great distance away from the projected point of interception and forming multiple squads of ships. Each group retaliates. Adaptarix's position is noted through both visual and radar scans before thousands of fragmentation, explosion, shattering, and zamor spheres bearing the Rhoporak power outage energy are blasted off and teleported just outside the anti-teleporation field generated by the fortress. All attacks are consolidated into five huge clumps which are teleported collectively to appear at five different positions about the fortress's head. All attacks converge inwards, the thousands of attacks pressing in upon the head in mass.
