Alive?
Kopaka hadn't really thought about how he would deal with his quarry after defeating the rodent in combat. He had started this whole endeavor with the idea of banishing Minnie Mouse to the Underverse, with her husband ideally allowing himself to be banished in the interest of rescuing her. He had, however, been half-starved, bloodied and furious at the time. It just went to show what a Toa might be capable of if they allowed their emotions to prevail over the Code.
"I hunt Mickey Mouse. Whether I take him alive or otherwise depends on if I find any redeeming qualities in his ethics." Kopaka said softly, as if he didn't want to commit to any decision just yet. The Toa already had a pretty low opinion of Mickey; first for resisting EPD authority, but then also for spurning Kopaka's offer of alliance in Teucer's domain, not to mention being one of the main Primes responsible for the Rape of Nippur, as it had come to be called. Was it foolish of the Toa to give the Mouse yet another chance to prove he was worthy of being spared? Furthermore, was killing Mickey without banishing him truly a murder? The mouse would have to suffer the pain of death, yes, but he would also be reincarnated a few days from that time.
Kopaka shook his head and uttered an angry grunt. Many, many confusing emotions rattled inside his protosteel skull, and he refused to let any of them escape.
Just then, a glint caught the Toa's eye further down the road. He came to an abrupt halt and focused the telescopic optics on his Akaku to try and make out what was causing the scintillation. Unfortunately, whatever it was, it had too much of a sharp gleam to resolve. The bionicle pointed at the flickering white dot and spoke softly.
"What do you make of that? Nippur has nothing which shines so brightly, not anymore..."
