The Shattering energy loses all ability to move just as it is released by Umbrax by Equinox's power of Slow. Equinox's Nine-o-Tails whip quickly wraps around one of Umbrax flailing legs with a flick of the Makuta's wrist and pulls Umbrax into his own Shattering blast.
The hammer finds itself unable to spatialport as it has been locked out by Equinox. Even if the hammer transports the stone another way, the stone become extremely confused when it finds itself on Shikran and not the hammer before the two are ported away by Ciakran. Only for Treakran and Feskran to take his place behind the hammer, in which Treakran unless a Protosteel ripping shock wave with the crack of her whip at the hammer.
Umbrax rapidly performs some trickery that equinox is not beholden to know and the blast passes right through him into Equinox's mask.
The hammer takes the very optimal step of teleporting the shockwave behind Treakran.
The blast doesn't move at all upon Umbrax not shattering immediately, having froze it in time. Upon hearing the voice, Equinox teleports back to put some space between him and Umbrax, under the assumption that Umbrax will briefly stop, but will attack again after responding to the voice.
Treakran zip forward and then backflips over the shockwave before being to hold off the fight for now.

Shadows throughout the region grow slightly darker. Mind reading is used to better discern the situation.
Umbrax is mentally contacted. "Hail the Brother-Hood! Lord Makuta, what is the source of this contention?"
Equinox is mentally contacted. "Hail the Brother-Hood! Lord Makuta, what is the source of this contention?"
"Umbrax here tampered with an official sanctioned virus that I created and released onto the world. It transformed the native inhabitants into bestial Element Lords, of which only the highest members of the Brotherhood could control. This traitor here didn't like that he wasn't on the authorized list and worked with another rogue Makuta and enemy of the Brotherhood, restoring the minds of the now Element Lord natives. The power of the Brotherhood's enemy, Kolokvar and Foros, was grown immensely because of this. For his tampering and aiding of another traitor, Inharax has declared him a traitor and to be executed."

A flurry of shadows suddenly spring up from the ground and twirl fiercely about in a whirlwind before coalescing into the tall, featureless form of Makuta Charix.
Charix's eyes blaze somewhat dimmer than usual as he speaks in a strict, authoritative tone
"I see that hardly anything has changed. Umbrax, what was your reason behind this interference?"

"Fer one thing, Equinox is a nitwit. For another, I apparently didn't get the memo. It could have been a rogue, which would have had disastrous consequences for the Brotherhood."

Charix mentally strikes Umbrax with a blunt attack that should feel like a hard slap. Charix's tone becomes harsh.
"You shall refrain from demeaning your brother Umbrax. So you acted without consulting your superiors? That is where you went wrong. Whenever we become aware of something that we think needs fixing, Umbrax, we do not go out and fix it without first bringing it to the attention of the Brother-Hood. Do you understand Makuta?"

"Well if a certain overly secretive Makuta had just TOLD PEOPLE WHAT HE WAS DOING he would still have his precious elemental army. It's not like I did anything irreversible."

Charix's eyes suddenly blaze with a fierce glow as he delivers a more painful mental slap upon Umbrax.
"Enough! You gain nothing through your multitude of words! A simple yes was all that was required. Acting alone without the knowledge and approval of your superiors is damaging to our union as Makuta. I trust you to now remain silent."
Charix, without turning, addresses Equinox.
"Equinox, you are justified in punishing Umbrax, however, under the present circumstances, execution is not called for. You are released from that duty. I will punish Umbrax myself. At this present moment, however, there are more pressing concerns to discuss. As Inharax's superior I have returned to correct his mistakes and lead the Brother-Hood out of the trap its enemies are setting for it. Inharax committed treason by attacking me upon my return. I trust both of you understand what happens to traitors?"

"Inharax is already doomed. He's having trouble even controlling his RMS forces. They have been acting on their own accord for quite some time and even managed to cure my virus all the way--at least before it took full affect. Besides, the Judge is out to kill him and it's only a matter of time until she succeeds."

"The Judge? Explain."
"A former small time Order agent, Kaatonga. Perhaps you remember her? She defeated Inharax single-handedly during your first conquest of Daxia, helped Sombak become inspired to turn into a Makuta of Light with her valor and tactics, among other things. She's out to kill him, I suggest you don't stand in her way."

Charix's voice harbors a hint of amusement.
"Order agents are all one and the same. At least this time one of them wants to accomplish something useful. Hear now, Equinox, Umbrax, if the Brother-Hood is to survive the coming storm in one piece we will have to change tactics. Xia and the Matoran are preparing to come down hard on Inharax, and I believe the time has come to gather as many Brother-Hood forces as may rally to us and leave Inharax to his fate."

"I've been a mite busy finding the secret to ultimate cosmic power."
Charix looks sharply at Umbrax and mentally communicates with him.
"And how close are you to accomplishing that goal? When we are ready to build up our operation I will expect you to assist your brothers. You may, however, explain what you mean by this cosmic power."

"Well we were close but this meddling Toa showed up and the artifact exploded. Me and another Makuta are looking for another way to accomplish the same goal that was described to us by our brother. If you mean what cosmic power means, I will state this in the simplest of terms: Energy control, warping of the fabric of space-time, and a sensory power far beyond anything in the world."

Antermina's present self looks up suddenly and glances around at the scene. She shrugs and booms away to the Atlantis.

Antermina is mentally contacted as she booms away.
"Makuta Antermina! You sight a meeting of your fellows and leave without reporting your deeds? Come now, I am Makuta Charix, first lieutenant under the Grand Lord Karunax. I have returned and require a report of your deeds."

A report of my deeds, Charix? From what point till now?
