I remind you that I waited until your recent post before making an attack. There is also no horizon due to the lack of curvature in the sea, so technically the rahkshi and Toa moves are perfectly valid. Also, your Ironclads have no profiles, post them before your next move.
IC: These vahki under attack shoot down the missiles via Po-Metru disks. More stun blasts wash over the decks. (Only two squads, BTW, one of six, and on of eight.)
Just because there is no horizon does not mean you can see everything that's miles and miles away.
The ironclads don't need profiles, they're just ordinary sailing ships with metal hulls, kanoka launchers and naval and missile weaponry. Perfectly canon.
The stun blasts hit the steel hull, and glance off. Each ship launched a compliment of 6 missiles, multiply that by 50, the amount of ships here, that makes 300 missiles against 14 vahki. Even if they each fired 3 kanoka at the missiles, they would be destroyed before they could even reload.
Actully, even matoran here have telescopic masks. They value extended sight, both literally and metaphorically. Of course, the rahkshi would have to listen to the locals, which would be difficult if a makuta wasn't controlling them directly. Missile weaponry, how do you aim with those at 30 Kio out? Multiple beings who wield a Sanok, (You could theoretically use Po-Metru kanoka in the casings in some way, but that tech would be fanon. At this point in time, kraata are too inferior for such a daunting task) I presume. Wait, since when do we even have mega long range weaponry? Hmm. 50 Ironclads? Let's see... if that was one lightning rahkshi a piece, there wouldn't be enough to strike the city with their powers, especially since the Makuta haven't evolved yet, which means that all kraata are inferior to the ones we know and love. Let's say you have two rahkshi per ship, still not enough. Actually, not even a skilled Toa of Lightning could throw her element in the air or through the water more then a third of the distance without the bolt either dispersing, striking a different target along the way, or just simply lacking the charge. You're attempting to destroy an island. Although we may have never put it to an official vote, a vast majority of users all agreed that this should not happen again unless previously planned.
IC: The vahki dodge and break formation to avoid the missiles long enough to land on two ships.
{JAMMERS! -me- ONLY!}Vodach:"Right, plan of action: Helith, go evacuate the rest of the Matoran and see if you can find Vavo, we could use his Rhotuka. Wrathian, i'll magnatize you up the Knowledge Tower, use that Zamor Launcher as best you can. If the Knowledge Tower is shot down, you can use the air to slow your fall, or if it comes to it, me or Titan can step in. Speaking of which, Titan, you can use the rubble as cover fire and draw attention from us and Meri.. If Meri is noticed, whoever's closest will bail her out with whatever powers they have. Got that? Now let's move it, people!"
Helith leaves the group to go inland while the other Toa split up.

Hold on, what? I never said there were lightning rahkshi on board nor am I even using lightning at all. The SAMs are completely canon, we see them in a piece of artwork for Odina. They are targetted with sanok or arthron kanoka, but either way they don't need to be aimed at all since the island is massive and an easy target. Matoran may have telescopic vision, but that doesn't translate into striking distance of weaponry, how could it?
I'm not destroying the island, I'm destroying the buildings on the island.
IC: The vahki simply cannot dodge the mass of missiles, and they are still travelling 30 kio (40ish miles) to the ships themselves, and they are all shot down. It's simply impossible for them to survive.

OoC: Fun fact, the unaided human eye can see 30 miles, which a bit more than 30 kios.

*As a result of all the chaos going on in Metru Nui and the destruction of at least half of Ko-Metru, all the stars in the sky suddenly disappear since Ko-Metru is (apparently) the "seeing" part of Mata Nui's brain. Meanwhile, Mata Nui is now blind, which is not good when there are dangerous big rocks in outer space.*

Who... perhaps it was someone else who use lightning. I'm not saying surface to air missiles are uncanon, I'm saying the design you're using is questionable. We know next to nothing about them, but we can assume that if they could reach 30 kio, they'd be used a lot more often, like when TSO wanted to destroy Xia shortly before Helryx convinced him otherwise. Phew!
IC: If these missiles have any type of homing abilities, then directing 300 of them into eachother becomes even easier, almost too easy for the Vahki. Only two defenders are lost.
Back on the Metru, matoran, vahki, and toa begin shooting down incoming missiles to slow the destruction and allow for evacuation. Emergency vahki are dispatched.

Although Ko-Metru is still on the map, Mata-Nui is still in serious danger with his vision gradually blacking out.
OOC: What does the GSR do in this scenario? Full reverse (stop) until he heals? We know he isn't too concerned with what's going on inside his shell.

Actually, the Makuta have already evolved.
I don't think they actually have yet. I believe Makuta are starting to Evolve, some earlier than others. Not every Makuta, or even the majority, has yet to evolve.

Vodach uses his magnatism to levitate him and Wrathian to the top of one of the remaining Knowledge Towers
Wrathian:"Now, let's do this."
Wrathian fires the Tri-Zamor Launcher, uneleashing a massive barrage of Zamor Spheres on the ships.
Titan uses a combination of his Garai and his elemental powers to lift rubble into the way of the missles, destroying them early.

30 kio is less than the range of average SAMs in the real world. If anything, bionicle missiles would be better
No homing ability, just a wall of explosives. 8 vahki are lost
The city is being shelled too, which cannot be intercepted. Nonetheless, the fleet has no problem with allowing matoran to evacuate. If they wanted to kill matoran, they wouldn't be destroying the metru outskirts to center

We still would have seen TSO use them, or at least mention their usefulness. We could blame Greg, though, and say he was just inconsistent when in favor of the story.
IC: (wall of explosives reaction is as follows) The squads split up, flying through any gaps they can find. If there are no gaps, they simply make them via kanoka, possibly even creating a chain reaction.
Meanwhile, back on the Metru, the vahki firing number in the hundreds, each one firing disks and using beams from their stun staffs to pre ignite incoming missiles. Add to that the number of matoran with disk launchers and a team of toa, no more damage is done during the barrage. The question is who will run out of ammo first?
