Crucedus/Powers

Crucedus is a Destined bearing the Kaa Stone, making him fearless in battle and unwilling to give up, as well as a small variety of mental abilities.

Elemental Power
Sky- Being a Toa of Storms, Crucedus can command a wide variety of powers from the four Elements that make up Storms. While at full power he is considered one of the most powerful beings in the universe.
 * Lightning- Crucedus has great power over his lightning and uses it as one of his primary offense in battle. He can fire bolts of lightning at his enemies or summon up power for a devastating electrical blast, delivering thousands of tons of force and often produces enough power to kill his enemies. His command over lightning has also given him great speed, as he can move several times faster than the lightning he controls, even surpassing the speed of light. It's not truly known how fast he can go in his regular state, but it's estimated that he can surpass even Umbra in speed.
 * Sonics- Alongside his power of lightning, he can command the thunder following his bolts, Crucedus can create powerful thunderclaps that can immobilize and harm his enemies or yell at deafening pitches, causing his enemies to lose all hearing.


 * Like his lightning power, Crucedus has a wide range of abilities granted through this element. Most notably his ability to augment his physical attacks with it. by focusing sonic energy into his fists, he can deliver blows that can  quite easily match blows of some very strong beings, he's been known to counter Nidherac's vast strength with this ability. Crucedus has a great amount of control over this, and can range his blows from merely breaking through walls to nearly moving a planet out of it's orbit, in order to do such a feat, however, Crucedus had to charge his fist for several minutes and is quite impractical for battle.


 * Crucedus also has a wide range of hearing abilities granted to him, like all Toa of Sonics, he can use sound to create a mental map of his surroundings, even pinpoint something or someone from a great distance. He can hear even the quietest of sounds, hear a voice from the other side of a planet, and block all sound in an area to make it either completely silent or so he can focus on a specific sound.


 * Water- Although water isn't his greatest power, or the one he's most trained in, Crucedus can still perform a wide range of abilities with this element. Besides his armor, it is one of his main means of defense, as he can solidify water to absorb powerful blows from his enemies, he can also manipulate water to create tools that he can use against enemies, although he prefers lightning for those types of abilities, while water tools last longer electrical tools make much better offense.


 * His power over water grants him an array of abilities as well, he can move in the water just as easily as he can move on land or in air, and he doesn't need to come up for breath.


 * Air- Crucedus' final elemental power is Air, with which he controls the winds of the weather, and is also very versatile in how he can command this element. Crucedus primarily uses this power to manipulate air currents to fly, and using the power inside of him, he can survive for extended periods of time in Space, Crucedus can aslo command this power like any Toa of Air, although to a higher degree, he can generate winds that can blow buildings over, create massive whirlwinds, and create differences in air pressure.


 * Crucedus also gains the natural attributes of a Toa of Air, he is very agile, often dodging attacks with ease, combined with his speed he can be nearly untouchable, and is also very quick to thought. However, in this case, Crucedus can think hundreds of times faster than any Toa, even faster than a Toa of Light. He also has developed a subtle speech pattern resembling treespeak, as most Ca-Matoran also have.

Skyforce- At some point in the far future, Crucedus merges his power with Cadmius, absorbing his vast energy and forming a pool known as the Skyforce, with it he has command of weather across galaxies, and is nigh-omnipotent. It is stated that base Crucedus with the Skyforce is equivalent to an ascended Crucedus in the current time.

Abilities
Indomitable Will- Partially given to him through the Kaa Stone, and furthered by his endless need to help others, Crucedus possesses an incredibly strong will, to the point where he will fight to the death for what he believes in, he can resist the temptations and attempts at mind control when he has a task at hand.

Strength- Crucedus possesses the peak physical strength of a Toa his size, stature, and element, which is sufficient to lift about 2 tons. In his Ascended State he can lift hundreds of millions of tons.

Speed- Crucedus is capable of moving at tremendous speeds through gases, liquids, and complete vaccums. He is considered one of the fastest beings in the universe, being able to match and move faster than beings like Nerax with relative ease, he is shown to be capable of moving several times the speed of light in a vaccum, and neither water nor air have any effect on his speed. Much of this speed was likely always there from the beginning, but due to the limits of his protosteel armor he couldn't resist much of the forces necessary to travel at such speeds, with his Aurunium armor he has often said that he can move almost as fast as he wants.

He has managed to evacuate an entire village in just a couple of seconds. In several of his fights (notably against Barakus and Blackheart) he can unleash thousands of blows in just a second. He can vibrate his fist so fast that it can mirror a strike from beings far stronger than himself, and use this with his sword to create sound waves that can cut through mountains. He managed to outrun and surprise a moving Umbra, and has several times managed to clear out an entire legion of Centurians in the blink of an eye. He can effortlessly outrun a Kakama user such as Pohatu.

Stamina- Due to the regenerative properties of the Aurunium and his elemental power, Crucedus can exert himself at full potential for extreme periods of time.

Durability- Due to the Aurunium Armor, Crucedus has gained near-godly invulnerability, so much so that he can survive a force powerful enough to destroy multiple planets at once, he even thinks he could survive such extreme force as a black hole, although he has not yet experimented. He can also survive any conceivable temperature, even that of the core of a star.

Elemental Resistance- Crucedus is highly resistant to several different elements and powers.
 * Mental resistance
 * Fire resistance
 * Elemental resistance, including his own element, light (to an extent), fire (to an extent), and some forms of radiation.
 * Resistance to disease and poisons.

Healing Factor- Crucedus is capable of healing wounds faster than any other Toa, this ability extends to his armor as well due to the presence of Exonites in both his organic tissue and armor. The speed at which he can regenerate depends on the severity of the wound, simple cuts and scratches heal in seconds, while more severe wounds can take hours or even days to heal. He can regenerate lost limbs with this ability as well, but the process can take months to fully complete.

Combat Skill- Crucedus is a master martial artist, he has mastered all Toa techniques and has mastered several other techniques as well, including Aquaros, Ruch, Texiten, and Ushiroken. For more see Combat forms. Helax has stated several times that Crucedus is the best fighter on Metrox Magna.

Weaknesses

 * While his power stone is the primary source of his power and being, if it is targeted in battle he will be much weaker and easier to defeat.


 * While his armor is among the strongest, it is still not indestructible, and he can be hurt or killed with enough force.


 * As with any being who possesses an Element, Crucedus has varying degrees of resistance and weakness depending on what element is used against him.


 * Antimatter is the most effective element to use against him as it counteracts the electrons that form his lightning abilities with positrons.


 * He is also relatively vulnerable to Magnetism, although his armor cannot be manipulated by any Toa of Iron or Magnetism.


 * Certain types of Radiation can harm him due to his chest stone, although the types that can are very uncommon.


 * Due to the Bionicle Universe dealing very little in magic, Crucedus has no special resistance to any form of Magic.

Equipment
Kanohi Jadenak- When crucedus was struck by the Toa stone's energy, it reshaped and charged his mask with the power of foresight. With this mask, Crucedus is capable of seeing visions of the possible futures and scenarios that could happen. The mask also gives him astral abilities, he can enter state of hyperconsciousness, or rid himself of all emotions completely for a short time, and can fight on an astral plane. Since the Jadenak was created by a specific Toa Stone, it's highly likely that there is only one of it's kind in the universe.

Stormblades- Crucedus possesses twin hooked aquatic swords that he appropriately named Stormblades, he can summon them through a bolt of lightning at will and can channel vast amounts of energy through them. The blades were formerly made from tempered Protosteel, but after a strike from the Stone of Courage, they are made from Byrithium and are considered completely indestructible and cannot dull.

The blades were forged from the fires of Mount Denelai by a small group of Magma Matoran, the blades are forged to be perfectly balanced to Crucedus, meaning that no one else can use them to their fullest potential (they can be wielded by other beings, but their shape caters perfectly to Crucedus's speed and agility).

Daggers- Crucedus possesses twin daggers that he keeps for quick access in tight situations.

Chest Stone- Easily his most powerful tool, Crucedus's Chest stone is the source of his elemental power, and a source of life. The stone constantly draws power from it's surroundings, and has potential to store limitless amounts of elemental power as long as it continues to absorb energy, however, with no apparent exlanation, the stone seems to only allow Crucedus a peak amount of power he can use at a time, possibly through subconscious will from Crucedus himself, and will only let him access his full power while in the Ascended State.

The stone is likely among the most powerful objects due to it's potential, and Crux estimates that ever since Crucedus obtained the stone, it has absorbed enough destructive power to encompass and destroy a galaxy.

Aurunium Armor- Through an experiment done by Jairus, Crucedus's armor and skeleton is now comprised and coated with Aurunium-based Exonites, microscopic insects with an Aurunium base that can multiply at an incredibly fast rate, giving his armor regenerative properties on top of nigh-invulnerability.
