Destral's Throne Room. Grand pillars hold the ceiling up as the beautifully crafted Throne lay, darkfire torches adorning the walls. Ornate banners of the greatest of the past Brotherhood leaders on one side, while on the other lay grand trophies of conquests. It seems sinister to one not born from Shadow.

A secretary Toa nods. "Sir, Makuta Inharax is requesting an audience with yo-" He is cut off as Zeytran appears.
"Inharax. You have a minute to explain why you dared to come here."
"I..." Inharax bows his head, "apologize, Zeytran. For trying to remove you. It was wrong."
The secretary screeches before fainting.
"Um, I'm very sorry about Verith. But, you are sorry? I hope you understood I was not in control when I assaulted Kolokvar." He muses, nodding his head. "Raise your head, brother." He rumbles softly. "We are Makuta. A true sign of our superiority is we can forgive one another and accept our mistakes. I forgive you, but if you do it once more." He hums, forming an earthen replica of Inharax, before throwing his axe at it, cleanly decapitating it. "I will not be forgiving." He warns.

Inharax looks back up at Zeytran. "Thank you, my brother."
His mouth then curls into a smile. "Now, I would request one final thing..."

[Fade to black.]
Zeytran glares. "You dare ask more from me?"
He pauses to hear said request. His mouth curling into a mirror image of Inharax's smile. "It can be done, brother, but, we do need to discuss certain...developments."

The deal was done. "Excellent... now, Zeytran. As newly-reestablished Makuta of Destral, the first thing I ask is that you attempt to regain Xia's trust through any means necessary short of violence. We need them back on our side. Meanwhile, I have some things to do..."

Two kilometers up, a Xiadrone hovers. XAI watches, concerned.
One of the other drones hovers drops a Nektann pod. It breaks open, the Nektann inside activates all stealth systems, and begins a barely controlled descent.

Inharax teleports away.
"It shall be do-" He pauses seeing Inharax leave. "Fine, just leave me." T_T He teleports to as close as he can to Xia, moving to swim the rest of the way.

A few invisible Rahakshi watch using anti-steath technology. They do nothing to interrupt the Nekktann.

A female of Lariska's species approaches the throne. "Makuta, the Toa Mangai are prepared to speak with you. Shall you organize a time and place? They can then be contacted with this Kanoka," she presents him the disk, bowing fully as she does so.
Inharax accepts the disk and turns it over in his hand. "The time shall be to their convenience, but for the place... Foros. I should like it to take place on a neutral ground that cannot be bought out. If that is not possible, then I suppose Xia can be arranged."
"A wise decision, Makuta."
"You are dismissed." The agent leaves the room, but is almost run over by an agent of Ehlek's species. "Makuta Inharax! Eighteen agents are dead!"
Inharax bolts from his throne, shouting at the agent: "WHAT? Of what causes?"
"Murder in both cases, sir! Five found in an alley in Xia, thirteen from a bomb in the Atero Nui recruitment center!"
"Any survivors from the center?"
"No, sir! All the staff were killed."
"Madness! Put all agents and stations on alert. The murderer shall be rooted out immediately!"
"Yes, sir!" The agent runs off again, telepathically calling the commanders of the various bases. Inharax meanwhile decides to use the disk. The Mangai could prove invaluable in discovering what happened.
The great doors of the throne room suddenly burst open, and the unmistakable form of Makuta Karunax strides in, his glare overflowing with a perpetual fury. Following behind him is a much smaller figure, clad entirely in dark silver, pitted armor. A low hum resonates from the stranger, and a notable electric-blue glow from within him shines through every crack and crevice of his surface. His head appears to be helmeted, with no prominent features except for two thin diagonal lines where the eyes normally would be, which also glow blue.
Unsurprisingly, Karunax is the first to speak.
"I had to see for myself. There was only ever one Brotherhood leader to ever lose the throne and then reclaim it not long later. Now, it seems, there are two."
Lovok teleports in and heads for the teleportation controller. "Brothers, I must teleport Destral or it will be destroyed, Koval has a plan to stop intruders but it is risky." Lovok prepares to teleport.

"That wouldn't do at all. How might I assist while you prepare?"

"If you could lay in suitable coordinates that are out of range of a Nova Blast that would be nice, I must assist Koval."

Inharax looks at Lovok and Karunax [the teleport controls are also below the ground, not in the throne room].
"Thank you, Karunax. Though it is a shame that my work has seen precedent, it is nonetheless good to be king." He then looks at Lovok, Electricity flying from his claws to writhe across the Makuta's shell. "Now, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, INTRUDERS? What intruder possibly has the force to cause DESTRAL, mighty bastion of the Shadows, to FLEE?!"

"Do not mistake my intent. The Brotherhood is weak and divided... whereas Arkray seized back what belonged to him against all odds, with myself and a multitude of other warriors at his side, you merely returned to fill a fraction of a hollow shell. Yet so have I. I've come to pledge myself once again to... "
Karunax's trails off his words as Lovok's hollering fills the chamber, and he immediately backs Inharax at this appalling display. He snarls at the frantic Makuta, his voice booming,
"Compose yourself! Destral flees before no challenge!"
