At that point, Astrona discreetly dissipates the stasis, and uses gravity to fling the plasma towards the ground. The three Jellica's continue to teleport sporadically though, the fire still clinging to her armor like a leech.
They try again, this time not firing plasma
This just causes Astrona to repeat.
OOC: Should we just wait for the others? I think we should.

Karunax contributes his own application of concentrated stasis on Jellica, reinforcing the hold. Within only a few strides he is on top of her. He swipes his arm with all his might through the field, forcing his way through the stasis with unfathomable strength and tearing her right in half across the chest with the back of his fist. The sheer amount of heat coming off his blow sets her Antidermis ablaze.

Astrona still dissolves it, albeit with great difficulty. Jellica's sporadic teleportation makes it harder to lock her in with stasis. Essentially, she's out of Karunax's range. She's still shrieking erratically.

Oxlley notices Astrona dissolving the stasis field.
"Is this active rebellion against your lord Makuta?"

Unless Oxlley can notice something that isn't physically happening, then this entire thing is nulled.
Astrona doesn't need to move to do it. There's no way Oxlley can 'notice' her doing it. My apologies, I hadn't made it bluntly clear, I had thought it was implied by the word 'discreet'

You underestimate Oxlley. The facial expression, the ever watching glance, sometimes even a quick look away as if she wasn't supposed to. Not to mention a simple deduction. The stasis is being dissolved, no one else here would do it save Astrona.

Charix begins to consolidate his thoughts in order to intercede on Jellica's behalf. Suddenly, however, he stops himself as arguments fill his mind regarding the justness of Karunax's actions. How could he, who always believed so fiercely in upholding solidarity within the Brother-Hood, intercede for someone so defiantly questioning, and even insulting the leadership? Astrona believed in her sister, but why should Charix intervene for a group of sisters who he had only truly met mere weeks ago? Was he obligated to trust in Astrona's depiction of her sister? Was trust that Jellica would prove loyal in the future more important than seeing the immediate problem and acting on it? The easy thing to do was to do nothing. Karunax was the leader. He had made his choice. Karunax is the leader. He was the leader? Momentarily the doubts Charix had entertained flash through his mind before he pushes them away. Even so, perhaps Charix should exhibit leadership here. Form his own priorities. What were his priorities? Solidarity could only be fostered through either fear, or trust. Karunax was building through fear. History had proven trust, when misplaced, destroyed solidarity, and yet, those situations came only when repeated violations occurred and nothing was done. Should Jellica be given a chance? If she was executed here and now, the trust that Astrona placed in the Brother-Hood would be shaken. And yet, clearly, Astrona valued her relationship with her sister more than her involvement in the Brother-Hood.
After a few seconds of this, Charix closes his eyes briefly before sending out a mental message to Astrona.
"Sister. Can you tell me in truth, that if I intercede on behalf of Jellica, that you can not only make her submit to Karunax, but also guarantee through your knowledge of her, that this defiance observed in her is not the norm? I warn you, regardless of whatever I may say to Karunax, Jellica will assuredly have to change her mind radically and beg to gain Karunax's grace. If she is not capable of this, I fear Karunax will not restrain himself."
"I believe that your abilities will lead to a general scene of anarchy which will lead to the complete disintegration of an already fractured organization. Karuanx has already voiced his acquiescence to my wishes and, as can be currently seen, he is more than capable of sorting out these internal disputes by himself. I am confident he will enforce order across our ranks without any effort on our part to assert ourselves. You do realize my reputation is in some degree of peril depending on how you hold yourself? While simply enforcing respect through violence may be the most tempting route, I have had large amounts of experience telling me it is definitely not the most constructive route."
"....."
OOC:
By the way, is Valix going to participate in the attack on Zurakia? More help is always helpful.

You overestimate Oxlley. No facial expression, and of course she's watching, someone was fighting Karunax. It's contrived and ludicrous.

"My psychic prowess has increased vastly. I can break her mind, if need be it. I recall very explicit memories. She has always been one to go with the flow, hence her affinity to water. Toxica, her twin of sorts, was the defiant one. The one who constantly challenged Inharax, yourself even, and once or twice Karunax. Again, I can force Jellica. She's always been proud, but she's been always pride of how she doesn't succumb to emotions, or so it seemed. A simple reminder, should suffice as a catalyst."

Oxlley's 'power' is being able to read people and make deductions of this sort. This is exactly the point of him.

Astrona still dissolves it, albeit with great difficulty. Jellica's sporadic teleportation makes it harder to lock her in with stasis. Essentially, she's out of Karunax's range. She's still shrieking erratically.
Disgusted, Karunax attempts to pursue her. When that fails, he snarls and leaps high into the air, rears back, and slams his open palms together as hard as he possibly can. And absolutely enormous and devastating shockwave of sheer force tears down upon the whole area where Jellica is moving about, ripping into the earth with all the strength of the GSR stomping down as hard as it can, utterly crushing everything within its radius. While everyone else only experiences a nasty gale and projectile-like shrapnel, if Jellica is caught by it, her armor is smashed and shredded into ribbons.

Xaia and her tree get blown away. She lands near the other makuta, dazed.

Seeing how she's kind of teleporting sporadically in the same general vicinity as Charix, Zenila and co. this basically means he just attacked his own teammates
One jellica is killed. The other two keep their insistent shrieking, as their fire still freaks them out.

OOC: How did only one die, and not the others?
IC: Unlike Jellica, they all should be attentive enough to escape before the extremely visible wave of force hits.
Karunax does it as many times as he needs to get them all.

"Very well then. I'll intercede for her. Whatever you intend to do, do it now."
