The stick is vaporized due to a nasty trap that a paranoid Ornirax installed a few decades ago after some Skakdi vandalized his fortress.
After this, the gate opens. Several Rahkshi and Exo-Toa suits move around inside. A Rahkshi glares at the Skakdi, and accidentally freezes him in a Stasis Field. An Exo-Toa approaches the Skakdi and replays a pre-recorded message.
"My master is not here. He is away on urgent business. I am not allowed to tell you where he is or what he is doing. You must leave now or I will be forced to trigger the traps in this room. I don't want to do that; you seem like a nice person. Please leave before my programming forces me to smash you.
As the Skakdi is incapable of leaving at this time, the Exo-Toa continues talking.
"You may be wondering how I am speaking to you. My master told me 'I tinkered with you to give you speech functions and vocal capabilities. If you annoy me with your new functions, I will scatter your atoms across Zakaz.' I was so proud that I would be given the honor of having my atoms spread across Zakaz. I decided that it might inconvenience to cause him to scatter my atoms across Zakaz, so I have not yet annoyed him with my speech functions.
"Now, please leave before my programming forces me to smash you."
A blade suddenly appears in the robot, having been thrown from a distance. The robot is thoroughly skewered and its circuits are exposed and frayed from the hole that was created by the blade. A hulking Makuta walks past the Skakdi, and retrieves the blade, which glows purple upon being reunited with the weapon it was thrown from.
"First mistake, Ornirax: fleeing from me. Second mistake, Ornirax: using a machine as your first line of defense. Third mistake, Ornirax: Crossing The Brotherhood. Fourth mistake, Ornirax: Still being alive. None of these mistakes I can control or correct, except, curiously, that last one."
The Makuta's solid form quickly dissolves into a haze of smoke, though still bearing the same silhouette, and walks through the room: intangible, untouchable. Any creature or entity that attempts to resist is invariably blown away from a shadow bolt coming from a random point in space.
The Exo-Toa suddenly take a side step, causing the blade to miss. Upon seeing Kratark, he runs. Any blasts thrown his way are dodged and the robot flees Zakaz. Once out of the outpost, he vanishes.
There are no visible beings in the room with Kratark besides Vindurax.
"I am deeply sorry that you cannot move. Unfortunately, I am only an Exo-Toa and therefore I am not suited to such tasks.
"Normally, I would accept you as a friend, but my master has overridden my programming and commanded me to treat all Makuta, with the exception of him, as enemies. Again, I am sorry, but I have no choice."
The Exo-Toa ushers everyone out of the courtyard. He then triggers the trap underneath Vindurax, causing a large blast of energy to fire at the Makuta's feet.
OOC: Note: the Rahkshi who froze Vindurax had a Stage 4 Kraata of Stasis Fields. The Stasis wears off decently fast.
''How delightful.''
Vindurax uses his limited invunerability to prevent the blast from injuring him. Ornirax's guards are placed in stasis fields themselves. Vindurax waits until the field around him wears off, at which point he attempts to enter.
The moment he touches the door, he is given a very strong electric shock. Immediately after this, several blasts of plasma and acid are fired at his Kanohi and chest armor.

The blade was thrown with such speed and at such a distance that an Exo-Toa dodging it would be a statistical improbability.

Now is when Kratark suddenly notices Vindurax
"Ah, Vindurax. I will make this simple, you have two options: you can aid me in my hunt of Ornirax so that we can bring him to justice. Or, you can get in my way. If it's the latter, know that I will visit upon you the same wrath I have planned for Ornirax."
She is ushered to Corathe's throne room. Corathe's eyes flit across Umbraia's armor, settling momentarily on thinner or supportive points. "Why, pray tell, has a Makuta come to visit me?"

Kanohi. Knee and elbow joints. Ankle joints.
Makuta Umbraia refuses to speak. Instead, she inserts her own thoughts into the mind of her escourt.
Tell her that she has gained my favor. I want to see her experiments, and I in turn will supply her skakdi with weapons.

"The Makuta says you have earned her favor. She wishes to see your experiments, and in turn supply us with weaponry." "Is she mute? No matter. What experiments of mine do you wish to see?"
He uses his Matatu, halting the acid and plasma in mid air, and hurling it at the door.

There is a flash, and a regal being emerges. She is tall, at a height towering over Toa, yet shorter than Axonn, with large, angelic wings. Her powerfully built arms and legs are covered by pure white armor, with snow and ice providing thicker layers. Her eyes are whitish translucent light blue, with four on the left side of her face, three on the right side. Her four arms are crossed. She says nothing.

Anything and everything the Brotherhood might be able to weaponize, including your autonomous teleporters.

The Exo-Toa twitches several times before his eyes darken and he shuts down. If anyone was to inspect the scrap, they would find that the robot's core processor and personality matrix are missing.
The moment he touches the door, he is given a very strong electric shock. Immediately after this, several blasts of plasma and acid are fired at his Kanohi and chest armor.
He uses his Matatu, halting the acid and plasma in mid air, and hurling it at the door.
The door absorbs both the plasma and the acid, showing no signs of damage.
