Meanwhile, in another world with certain residents that are about to get portalled...

Fereain takes a moment to process that, then he replies, "Uh...tongs, hammers, pokers, buckets? That sort of thing?"

"Right this way, sir!" Korati gestures to her right, and starts walking towards the tongs. And as she does, she tries to start off a conversation. "So...blacksmith?"

"Yeah, actually." Fereain nods. "Hoping to make a living in Metru Nui."

"I figured! The blacksmith thing, not the Metru Nui thing; I don't have a Mask of Clairvoyance!" Korati laughs. "But yeah, here's hoping you make it in the City of Legends! I mean, I may not be a blacksmith myself, but occasionally I have to do some metalwork to get a design to work, and let me tell you, it is hard to get an exact cut on Protosteel! Can't imagine what it's like to actually have to hammer it out into sheets...anyway, here's our tongs, and the first one is..."

Korati turns around, only to find that Fereain isn't there. "Huh? Where'd he..."

Then she notices the portal directly where the Toa of Fire was standing a few minutes ago.

"Oh!" Korati rushes over. "Uh - well, I'm not seeing an Olmak around here, so that leaves...not a lot of options as to what the heck this portal is...but don't worry, sir! I'll get you out of there...somehow! Even though I'm not sure if you can hear me! Now, I just need to figure out how to handle a random portal opening up in the middle of the shop for no re-"

And then she gets portalled too.

Yeah, thing is, those portals? Several thousand feet in the air.

As Fereain falls, he is, naturally, panicking, because what the Karz why is he suddenly falling when he was in a nice secure building on the ground two seconds ago.

Korati gets portalled in right next to Fereain. "Oh, there you are! Guess that solves the problem of having to get you out...albeit now I have to get out, so...yeah. Anyway, this is actually rather nice! Breezy! I like-"

And then she sees the ground. "-oh dear Mata Nui I'm going to die."

Aaaaaaand Korati starts panicking too. Wonderful. Now there are two seven-foot tall biomechanical beings panicking in midair. "Oh dear Mata Nui I'm going to die! I-I had plans for my life! Good plans! Not sure if they would've worked out or not but at least they would've gotten me somewhere better than a splatter on the ground because that's all I'm going to be in a few sec-"

And Korati's panic is contagious, enough to make Fereain even more panicked than before...and cause his powers to flare up. A burst of flame launches Fereain to the side, the Toa of Fire colliding with Korati as he goes.

''"This doesn't help the situation at all!" ''Korati points out.

''"Sorry! That wasn't intentional I swear!" ''Fereain apologizes.

''"It's okay! It just means I'll be a splatter on that hill!" ''Korati replies.

Then Fereain gets an idea. "No you won't!"

He manages to get himself behind Korati and pulls her tight.

''"What are you doing!?" ''Korati yells.

''"I'm using my body as a cushion! Don't worry; I'm wearing a Mask of Endurance, I'll be fine!" ''Fereain explains.

''"But won't that hurt?" ''Korati asks.

"...Yeah proba-"

Impact and a shower of dirt.

Korati slowly opens one eye. "...we're alive?"

She takes a look at her surroundings, takes a look at herself, and then lets out a cry for joy as she leaps to her feet. "We're alive! We're alive and on sweet terra firma!"

Fereain groans. "Everything is pain..."

"Yeah, sorry about that! Anyway, we're alive! Take that, random portal! Come on now; we're still living so we need to look like it!" Korati pulls up Fereain and starts dragging him along as she runs in the wind.

"Korati this is not helping at all."
