The Treacherous Cliffs

Charix, who I believe maintaining his physical presence several dozen yards underground, is unaffected by the ZE energy drain. However, the shadow he is using to manifest himself in the area looses its connection to the shadow zone.

Realizing through a quick and covert reading of Stalker's thoughts that this version of Zurakia is indeed prevented from managing the ZE aura, Charix shifts his focus from mentally assaulting this trapped opponent, and towards mentally scanning the ZE itself to try and detect a mental presence that could be attacked and frustrated.

Also noticing the disappearance Valix, Charix attempts to discern the Makuta's mental presence.  

Charix sends a quick mental message to his Firedrakes, which, each caught in the ZE power drain, are quick to adopt Charix's order in hopes of combating the drain. Each of the warships devotes a considerable amount of the energy they have left to their support system, quickly using magnetism powers to attach a hefty magnetic force around and about themselves, and the assembled Makuta and allies. Relying on the principle that magnetic force can affect the direction that kinetic energy moves, as well as manipulating heat (since heat is generated from the vibration of atoms which can themselves be manipulated by magnetism), the strong magnetic forces attached to the warships and allies are managed so as to both prevent the ally from losing heat (by preventing the atoms from vibrating) and redirected any energy pulled away from the ally by the ZE; directing it back into the ally (this is accomplished since magnetism levies a perpendicular force upon moving energy charges. While it cannot change the amount of energy contained in the charge, it can exert an influence to bend that charge elsewhere).

In this way, the Firedrake's attempt to stabilize themselves and their allies.


 

A new figure teleports in atop the maze walls, shrouded in pseudo-illusion and invisible to all save for Zurakia. However, he does not act yet, biding his time.

The living wall notifies Stalker that someone is stepping on it and how rude that is.

Stalker responds by creating the same prison he did for Zukaria around this being but adding the fact that no signals can escape it.

"Charix I need your aid!" He sets himself in a stasis field for the meantimevto recover. He uses his jutlin to take off any inorganic substance on TD. Following that action with having a shadow hand travel under the stasis field and grab TD "You're mine."

By the time signal from him touching one reached anything and anything reacted, the Time Dilator would be in a completely different place.

Stalker creates a disjunction field making everyone believe they are seconds in the past. This includes Time Dilator.

He then draws out a pattern of what this blip is doing and begins to make RAR fields where the Time Dilator is not detected in an effort to catch him.

"Well," Zurakia chuckled, eyeing the gathered Makuta contemptuously, "This has been fun, but I've grown tired of toying with you. Just remember... all the death that will come, look not to me, but to Charix for your killer."

The Manipulator motions towards Stalker. Instantly, a strange feeling comes over the figure as his mind is relegated to a small pocket inside his brain as a foreign entity takes hold of everything else. Instantly, he drops the prison around Zurakia, instead turning towards his fellow Makuta. Given Stalker seems to be able to target two people at once, he then imprisons both Swordsman and Krakarda.

Both prisons' walls are designed to incinerate antidermis at a touch, as well as completely negating other kraata powers.

Krakarda's prison also has the perk of targeting all instances of his "presence" throughout the planet, forming an identical prison around each.

The moment Zurakia is free, he coalesces the energy leeched from the Makuta with his own reserve, forming twin bubbles of energy around Charix' drones in the sky that overwhelm them with destructive energy.

Zurakia turns, unleashing a beam of energy that sends the golem(s) hurtling backwards and ripping apart its midsection before it frees the Makuta. Alas, he can't do much against the teleportation field, and all the Makuta teleport away safely, though the prisons remain up wherever they wind up- a fact which the Time Dilator finds out immediately.

"Oh ho, such cowardice," he laughed, watching them disappear, "This is how the great Brotherhood reacts? Running away the first chance they get? Pah, I'm disappointed. Out of all the bugs on this rock, I was hoping that you of all groups would at least put up a fight. Alas, you may run, Makuta... but you can't hide. Not from me,"  he sneered, turning around to face Stalker. Upon his command, Manipulator gives him back one, singular function- he can speak, but nothing else, "Now, what are we going to do with you, hm?

All the powers in the world at your fingertips, and all you can do with it is delay the inevitable. Shame. Clearly there is a deficiency in your design- you and the rest of your clones. I'll have to wipe your impurity off the face of the planet as well."
