Under normal circumstances, Kopaka would have simply ignored the spear tip buried in his gleaming chest and pressed his advantage. In his current state, however, the Toa spun around in a tantrum, trying to wrench the thing free from the newest of two wounds to his torso. Thankfully, his alien biology had no analogous organs that would lead to his demise from the direct hit. This did not make it any less bloody when his blood-slick hands finally yanked the damned thing free. A low, gurgling moan escaped his vocalizer, and he was only vaguely aware of Dernhelm approaching from behind. The feral Toa yelped as he suddenly found the broken shaft of the spear pulled up under his chin and into his throat, causing him to cough and gag digitized heaves of panic.
He struggled against Dernhelm's choking embrace, but she had him at total disadvantage once again. So, once again, it would be Kopaka's higher abilities that delivered him from her wrath. With all the grace of a bear, Kopaka reversed his grip on the Ice Sword and funneled an excessive amount of elemental power into the weapon. A veritable avalanche of ice poured out of the channeling device, forming a thick, icy glacier around the Lady's legs. He tackled his weight backwards into Éowyn, and with her feet stuck in place, she swiftly lost balance. She slowly tipped backwards, ice and all, like a statue. A loud grunt was crushed back down her throat as she slammed into the unforgiving ground of the Nexus, and Kopaka swiftly rolled off of her.
The Rohirrim woman propped herself up on an elbow and strained to reach for her frozen legs, but this was no easy task in the heavy armor of the Mark. Meanwhile, Kopaka had an easy time of stumbling over to his infected Kanohi. The gibbering Toa knelt down and scooped up the mask of power before slowly and reverently pushing it back onto his face. There came a series of hisses and pops as the necessary connections were made, and an abrupt change once again came over the biomech. Kopaka stood with measured ease, and in as straight a posture as his wounds would allow before turning back to face the supine Lady with a swish of his dark cloak.
"I apologize for your having witnessed that. It appears we both uncovered a vulnerability in me today." Kopaka said smoothly, rearranging his clasp and cowl before striding past Éowyn to recover his truant shield. As it clicked into place, the Bionicle gave it an experimental spin. The sound of shattering came from behind him, and Kopaka looked to see the Lady trying to smash her frozen legs free of the ice that caged them. The Toa tilted his head in slight disdain, and the Great Kanohi illuminated to take on the shape of the Kakama. Kopaka flourished his Ice Sword and lowered into a ready position as the Mask of Speed began to shine brightly. As a loud whirring sound began to fill the air, and Éowyn ceased her attempts at freedom and began to drag herself towards the discarded tower shield. Kopaka could have unleashed his final blow at that point, but decided to let the foolish human cling to her bastion. It would only assist in driving home the point of his thesis for her. He chuckled slightly as the Lady reached the bright green hulk and threw it up between her and whatever new magic the Toa was conjuring.
"The shield will not keep you alive..." Kopaka cooed as he selected his target on the woman's body. In the next instant, all Éowyn knew was that the half-crazed warrior was now behind her, his sword held up and with frozen blood on its edge. It took a moment for the pain to register with her panicked mind, but when it, did the Rohirrim woman shrieked and clutched at her still-frozen left leg. There was an immense gash in her calf, straight through the lamellar armor and down to the bone. Éowyn screamed and rolled in blind agony, unable to hear the cold punchline of the Toa's previous sentiment.
"...because I do not want you dead."
