Now, Let's count up your sins!

Continued from What is the City but the People?

As the Kamen Rider began to look around the Library with his troop of subordinates, the main elevator let out a soft chime, and two figures slowly stepped out. One was a rather tall figure that appeared to almost totally robotic, who was decked with pure silver and white armor. A large, odd looking mask was mounted on his face, obscuring all of his features aside from a single glowing blue eye. The other figure was a woman dressed in humble brown robes with a blindfold over her face. She carried herself with regal stature, and had a large, dangerous looking weapon strapped to her back, bedecked with gold filigree.

These two primes made their was over to Glen's desk, where the hippogriff was eyeing them with a droll expression. Seriously, why was it that on her last day she had to deal with a bunch of primes suddenly fascinated with the library? Very few people had ever been before? Well, in this case, she supposed these two were more interested in the museum's valuable knick knacks. Legalized pillaging is what it was, but her orders had come from up top, so screw it, let them have the damn thing.

"The Director said you two were to get the translation mask?" she asked, raising an unamused eyebrow at the two of them.

"The Kanohi Rau." Kopaka said in a flat tone. Honestly, did these people not understand that the Kanohi were more than just simple tools? They were imbued with the very soul of the universe! They were far from some simple...treasure.

"Yyyyeah...okay." Glen said, fetching the museum exhibit keys out from her desk drawer. She eyed Kenjiro and his crew once more before heading into the exhibit with the other two primes. Soon enough, the hippogriff had retrieved the Mask of Translation from the exhibit glass and handed it to Kopaka, who held it with such reverence she might have assumed it was the holy grail. Without even saying a word of thanks, he slowly pressed it up towards his existing mask. The two seemed to phase into each other for a moment, and large sparks of electricity ricocheted up and down Kopaka's body, much to the alarm of everyone within ten feet of the Toa. When it was done, however, the Rau was now on his face where the Akaku had been. Kopaka's fierce blue eyes shone brightly from behind to two eyeholes. Now, instead of its matte grey color, the Kanohi Rau was the same brilliant white as his armor.

A moment of awed silence passed before Kopaka intuitively switched back to his normal Kanohi Akaku. This time there was no great shower of sparks; just the two masks fading in and out overtop of one another. Athena looked up at the Toa with a wan smile and Kopaka met her gaze with a small nod.

"Ooookay then." Glen said, trotting off to get back to not doing her work...
