Far above Xia Makuta Orcorix flies by, his three heads screaming at each other about nothing in particular. His rocket boosters suddenly give out due to lack of focus. He falls towards the island, now blaming himselves for letting this happen. There is a thunderous crash as Makuta Orcorix hits the ground and tumbles forward, smashing through the doors of the Lobby and bowling over everyone in his path until he hits the far wall, ending up upside-down and trying to untangle his arms. As his eyes come back into focus he sees the other beings in the room. His three pairs of eyes narrow, and he unleashes a power lance augmented power scream from each mouth as he jumps upright, raising his weapons for a fight.
“Good. You’re here too. I’ll be with you in a moment.” Using Kakama speed and Pakari strength again, Metru rushes Axarella and rips the axes from her grip in a motion faster than she can register. He proceeds to strike Diode in the head with one of the axes, throwing the other toward Axarella so it slices into hers as well. All occurring in less than a second.
Lady Landrinia raises her eyebrow. "Guards, seize this enemy of Xia."
The two guards behind her advance on Metru, levelling their spears at him.

'Get away from Diode, intruder!'
Orcorix lashes out at Lady Landrinia and her guards, whipping his spiked chain towards them while using chain lightning, the massively powerful lightning bolt racing down the chain and jumping towards every other being in the room who comes close.

He fails to wrestle the axes from Axarella, who holds onto them with a fierce zeal.
OOC: Nulled. I've been trying to give leeway, because I understand that I have an implicit bias in this specific case, but I cannot allow you to continue with this. Nothing suggests the Golden Kanohi's powers are simultaneous, so, a moment to change power would be needed. Not only is this a direct one-shot kill, but it's also IN LESS THAN A SECOND. This is nulled so hard.
Darren stalls where he was for a moment, suddenly confused as to what he’s doing. He shrugs, turning halfway before his power kicks in and he remembers. “Oh!” He turned back around, looking for the disappearing face. “Where’d it go? Hello? Mister?”
Then the Toa attacked the Vortixx, another angry Vortixx walked in, soon followed by a chaotic makuta who was arguing with himself. This all added up to a very confusing situation, in which Darren didn’t really have a place.
Oh, he remembered. He forgets again. Bloop. The face disappears. Bloop bloop.
Darren goes through the process of momentary confusion, before remembering again. He does give up looking for the face though, seeing as it has left. He then turns to the overall chaos occurring in the room, looking it over. "Well...."

OOC: Nulled, I'm afraid.
Firstly, your continued use of speed and strength is OP. If it were used from time to time, I'd allow it, but continually hitting players with moves that they cannot counter is OP.
Secondly, you are autohitting. It is not within your authority to state the result of your action, only the action, unless there is no doubt about the result (such as when YJF smashed Corvus. An axe was being held against him already, so there was no doubt that it would connect) and even then only with caution. The seriousness of this is only increased by the fact that your attacks would either be fatal or cause severe damage.

OOC: If I remember correctly, the Toa Mata used their golden kanohi to combine miru and kakama in order to fly at high speeds. And I know plenty of powers that can one-shot a foe in less than a second that don't relate to superspeed, not that the time the attack takes should define whether it's nulled.

OOC: I've been inactive, but those seem like faulty grounds to null on. It is my understanding that RP convention has generally been that one person writes what would happen theoretically, either using an assumed reaction or the event of none at all. Then the opponent would post their own move, stating their reaction and thus what the attack actually does. Hence, I feel that nulling for 'autohitting' is completely pointless, as even if someone were legitimately doing such their opponent could correct it in a single post. The other point seems off as well. Either ban a mask or go ahead and let him use it, but don't limit how often you can use it. That's just silly, canon-wise; Toa can use their(often quite powerful) masks with no drain of energy, cooldown, etc. As such, IC a toa would have no reason to limit the usage of their masks, unless they were horrendously unskilled in doing so. In addition, I really wouldn't call the usage of a mask in itself overpowered either. The majority of combat-worthy species - Vortixx(Yes, Vortixx can canonically use Kanohi), Brutakans, Axxonians, Makuta, Tobdukians, and so on - are capable of using masks themselves, evening the odds with ease. Come to think of it, if these are Vortixx, then they do have simply ridiculous strength that just might let them hold on to their weapons in the face of a pakari-wielding toa.
On another note, the definition of OP you give could be rules lawyered to mean nobody can use their actual powers against matoran, as that would be uncounterable and OP. You might want to define that better. I was under the impression OP meant using moves beyond the scope of your character's ability, or using a character who bore a degree of power disproportional to the setting - a warrior with the powers of ten makuta, for a silly example. A normal toa exploiting their kanohi did he use one kanohi to get both powers or just kanoka implants? does not touch that definition with a ten foot pole.

"The moment he raises his hand, an axe finds itself lodged inside his arm. He is pinned to the ground by Axarella, one leg on either side of his chest, her first axe pinning his hand to the ground, another one pressed against his neck, so close and hard, his throat is slightly cut, making gulping for example very risky. The insanely agile tobdukian sneers, her voice losing any sort of mirth or playfulness, leaving only grim seriousness. "I did not lose my only friend to my now insane former friend, I did not fight off and slaughter an entire army alone, to be disrespected by some measly Vortixx. I came here, because I don't care for the Nynrah Ghosts, they are far too annoying." Her eyes flare, glowing bright to her anger. "I can either end your pitiful life now, or we can be civilized and discuss everything properly like normal-" - Direct quote, ob YJF's part, from the actions leading up to YJF smashing Corvus Is this not an autohit then? Additionally, there is no way in which the continued use of my characters powers should be OP. In each attack post everyone always uses either powers or weaponry, just because mine might be better than my opponents should not make them OP. Also, I've previously tried to use weaponry, but this has not been respected, forcing me to rely on the use of powers. Is it a fatal attack? Yes. Is it an attack that is the first move of a conflict? No. As per when Corvus was smashed, this is the third (could be considered second in both situations), attack made in each of the scenarios.

That was the first of many posts. In each case, I gave you an opportunity to have Corvus do SOMETHING. I even offered you a get out of jail free card, with no strings attached, if you'd had redacted your post. You didn't, so Corvus died.
Your post was the first attack that put Diode and Axarella in jeopardy. Corvus was in it for 2-3 posts before he got axed.

My post was the second post to put them in jeopardy, but instead of continuing the post chain from the initial attack post, I responded in a reply to Ten, as it felt more appropriate given that to be a big thing to occur in this location. And as for the post I refered the to, it was not the first of many. It was only followed by two IC posts, one from me that was a dialogue post and one from you that was an action post. This doesn’t negate that if my post was an autohit, that makes the post of yours I quoted an autohit as well.

Lady Landrinia raises her eyebrow. "Guards, seize this enemy of Xia."

'Get away from Diode, intruder!'
Orcorix lashes out at Lady Landrinia and her guards, whipping his spiked chain towards them while using chain lightning, the massively powerful lightning bolt racing down the chain and jumping towards every other being in the room who comes close.
“Thanks for the disturbance, but I’ll be right back.” Metru uses Kakama speed to zoom away from the fight and off of Xia, moving so fast he runs atop the protodermis. A couple dozen seconds pass and he returns, Lokkinci slung over his back, appearing right back in the room.

"-ou?" Lokkinci coughs from the jarring speed, and launches herself off Metru's back at high speed using telekinesis. Tightly coiled Shadow wreathes her hands. "What is this?!" The toa's eyes flick towards the vortixx in the room. If one of them died... their physical strength would be wonderful for her mask of scavenging.

OOC: I'm here to roleplay, not stand on the sidelines and be bored as a massive argument goes back and forth between two sides who both believe they are 100% in the right. I'm sure I'm not the only one who just wants to go back rping so can we have a vote or something to finish this already?
Also, anyone who was in the room with Orcorix should be temporarily deaf unless they have a way to stop a power lance enhanced power scream coming from three different heads, and they should react to the massive bolt of chain lightning and the flailing spiked chain swinging around the room.

Axarella raises a brow, grabbing her axes. "So, you needed reinforcements huh? Diooddeeee, can I please butcher them up? Pretty please? I'll do it all pretty like!" The insane woman giggles.
"No." Diode says flatly. "I am done here. Also, Toa, you are on Xia, brought here by an intruder. "Centaur", Rahorus, take care of this." She kualsi's away. There's the sound of hooves clapping against the floor as a centaur-like being walks up, with a Toa next to him. Said Toa is about 90% Guns.
