A singular rahkshi kaita is teleported down, one of dodge, healing, and gravity. It lobs a boulder at Zurakia to continue being annoying.
He no longer gives it attention, the boulder being stopped by the aura.
Again, he and Adaptarix launch a beam of energy to the heavens.
An illusion falls across Decu and his Toa Manas, making him suddenly appear to have shape shifted into Makuta Charix. Shadows seem to swirl about him to complete the affect. He should be completely oblivious to this visual alteration in how he is perceived.

Atlantis parries as it did before
The Atlantis receives a mental message from one of the Chagrin war ships. [ "Unknown enemy combatant who has been fighting your advance soldier has been affected with illusion to make him appear as a Makuta. This is done to make Zurakian's attack him."]

The Toa Manas angled his head toward the void of space, not caring about any obstacles that may or may not have been in the way. He had just smashed a super makuta. Fate could throw anything at him, and he would still rise. The amount of protodermis spilt was only dependant on how stubborn fate could be. He almost prayed for that stubbornness, to show just how far he would go. Taking the life of one Makuta could have been proof enough, but Decu suspected that the universe would continue to refuse him liberty.

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.
Luckily for the defendants, the radius of the tele-blockers means they have a split second to react. Combined with an uber-efficient, non-hesitant supercomputer, this allows them to pull a quick maneuver.
Zurakia and Adaptarix teleport to opposite sides of the Fortress' head- still glowing blue- and unleash mirrored explosions of energy to intercept the incoming attacks. Because they are still being buffed by Monopolizer, they should have enough to counter it.

Energy scanning/TD's new Rode sees through the illusion and no alarm bells are triggered.
Zurakia splits in two- the cubes dividing themselves directly along his center before replicating into two identical Zurakias. This, of course, halves his energy supply, but thanks to the newly created energy reservoir over av-ta-su Wahi, both are soon back up to practically full strength.
Luckily the Fortress had cleared the lake in its entirety, so there was no worries there.
The Atlantis teleports a pool's worth of acid above Zurakia/the mech's shoulder, flinging it forcefully down with Gravity and Accuracy.
The Toa Manas boiled when the acid returned to its potent and gruesome sounding state. An even greater surge overtook him when a pool was moved high into the air where it could freely mock him. Even so, he almost looked as if he was trying to smile through the rows of his unforgiving hooked teeth. Space was awfully noisy for a vacuum.

OOC: I thought the Chagrin attack teleported molecular disruption directly into whatever super computer the visual scan perceived? Wouldn't that super computer have to be rebuilt, reattached to the mainframe which was also attacked and, at the moment, being rebuilt?

One remains, while the other teleports away.

Possibly, but it's also helped out a lot by the Time Dilator's own means of calculations, thanks to moving so quickly in time and having thousands of years to perform calculations.

OOC: Out of interest, if you have teleport blockers operating around the fortress, how are Zurakia and Adaptarix unaffected? Also, I did note that the attacks were being pressed upon the head from five different directions. Since Zurakia and Adaptarix can only be in two places at once, this would imply that the attacks not originating in an area within their immediate field of vision or at least nearby them would proceed to strike the fortress without being countered. The only way Zurakia and Adaptarix could successfully fend off every attack would be to cause the energy they are outputting to somehow wrap around the fortress's head and block the attacks that are originating away on different sides of the head. Additionally, since the fortress is so massive, the head would, likewise be rather large, thus making it more difficult for two beings, albeit particularly large ones like the Zurakian elites, to occupy much space when compared to the size of the head.

OOC: I'm fairly certain the teleblockers in the rp allow allies to teleport through them. If not, then since they were naturally floating around the general area, they should have the speed to make up for it. Also, their attacks are in wide cones to intercept as many as they can, covering a good 60% of the area. Now that you mention it, there should be some that make it through, but definitely catching the majority of the attack.
The ground shook in endless quakes that threatened to tear the earth apart. Like a mountain falling on his side, the fortress dropped to its knees. Extending before him, a gargantuan forearm slammed into the ground with a powerful boom, raising a cloud of dust that threatened to choke anyone around. Slowly, it steadied itself, but remained in its position.
Even in the darkness of his prison, Voidarix could still feel the tremors that ripped through the fortress. They shook his weight around violently, threatening to rip him limb-from-limb against the restraints that held them. And yet, he was helpless to stop it, so his head hung forward limply.
It was the same as always; again he was helpless against Zurakia's mighty fist. Even then, the strange voice's words kept echoing throughout his head, Defy them every inch of your fate. But how? He sat here, powerless, unable to move to even try and resist against his restraints. Every movement from the quakes threatened to shatter the makeshift casing around his life-blood- his Antidermis...
Antidermis... he thought softly, a sudden epiphany flowing over him. For as long as he could remember, he had rejected his heritage. Even the rare moments he insisted he had embraced it, internally, it had all been a sham. He had always felt lost, out of place... and maybe, just maybe, he now knew why.
Ever since he had found those karzed axes, when had he relied on the powers he had been born with? Instead, he had always forced himself to rely entirely on Zurakia's abominations. Even as his memories from then were a blur capped in a red tinge of madness, he could not recollect a single time he truly fought like a Makuta.
Forty two.
Forty two powers at his disposal, and he had made use of none of them.
He wasn't even sure he still could, but...
Taking a deep breath, he concentrated. His control was rusty and weak, but if he played his cards right...
Almost as if it snapped into place, he felt himself tapping into self-healing. Slowly, it spread out over him, the complex, internal mechanisms repairing themselves little by little.
Suddenly, the fortress was surrounded by a massive lake of acid. Getting to its feet, it slid one leg back as far as it would go and lowered itself into an almost-crouching stance. Then, with enough force to shake a mountain, it pushed off its back foot, shattering the ground below as it leapt up and over the massive, green lake. On the other side, it landed on its feet with a boom that sent shivers down its spine.
This tremor, more powerful than any of the others, threw Voidarix forward, shattering his concentration and forcing open his eyes. His eyes... he could see again! Good, it looked like he was making progress.
Again, he closed his eyes and let himself slip back into control. This time was much easier than the last, and Quick Healing swarmed over him rapidly and efficiently, finishing the job.
Next came his restraints, but luck was on his side. That problem was not his to solve.
The green liquid surged through the halls, dissolving whatever and whoever was in its path. Soldiers were swept along, their half-disintegrated faces not emotive even in death. Suddenly exploding, massive holes bore into the Fortress as its systems went down one-by-one, sending the liquid churning out in massive, green streams. After half a second, though, it seemed to disappear, teleported away, but the damage was done. The Fortress slumped forward as, internally, tens of thousands of medics surged through the damaged bot, repairing it rapidly.
The event disabled power to the prison, and Voidarix' restraints popped open even as they whirred down to silence. Unprepared, he hit the floor, hard, but unharmed. Slowly, he got to his feet.
Even then, his purple hue was still a pitch black due to no Zurakian Energy flowing throughout him, but finally, he had a way to fight back.
One hand tore into his own chest as he tore off the feeble, metal ball around his now-perfect sphere of Antidermis within. Casually, he tossed it to the side while simultaneously forming a massive sword in the other.
My moves are just going to take a while for me to gather my thoughts enough to post them.
