Chapter 1:

This is a sequel to my first Bionicle fanfiction. You don't have to read the whole thing to be able to read this story, but you do need to at least read the last chapter of it to understand what happened to Kualus.

Kualus awoke with a start, "What the! Where am I?" Kualus was strapped down to a chair with strange wires and tubes running all around him. He had strange cuffs around his hands and a helmet on his head. "This can't be good."
"Very observant of you," said a mysterious figure standing in the shadows.
"You, I thought all of your kind died in the Great Spirit Robot. What are you doing here and what do you want with me?"
"Not you Kualus, I personally couldn't care less about you, I do however care about those powers of yours."
"W-what do you mean by that?" asked an unnerved Kualus.
"You'll see," said the shadow being. He walked over to what Kualus figured was a large machine with a helmet like the one on him and a huge switch, which the being grabbed and pulled down. Kualus felt a large surge of pain and screamed as a result. This went on for only twenty seconds. Immediately after the cuffs holding Kualus released and he stood up. Kualus was weak but he still had enough energy to put up a fight. Kualus lifted his arm and tried to summon a wall of ice, but he didn't get that. He didn't even get a snowflake. He tried again, and again nothing happened. "W-w-what did you do?" The shadow figure approached Kualus. Kualus tried to flee but was too weak to run, or even walk. He fell to his knees and looked up at the being of shadow. He flashed Kualus a smirk and backhanded him. Kualus laied weakly on the floor helpless to stop the being from picking him up. After a short walk Kualus was thrown into a giant stasis tube. The door shut and the being walked over the the control panel. Kualus found the strength to stand up and ask the being, "What did you do to my powers?" The being flicked a switch, Kualus looked down and saw a strange dust slowly rising. Then he made the horrifying discovery that his feet had turned to stone! Then his legs, his hips and rising. Kualus looked up at the being, "NOOO!" Just before the dust rose over his head he witnessed his captor create a small mound of snow and gave Kualus a wink before he completely turned into a statue.

The Toa council had all assembled for the weekly meeting, now that the Mahri were back they could have it, the Toa Mata, Mahri, and Hagah were there, as well as the Turaga, Ackar, and Helryx. Everyone was there, well all except Kualus. "Where is he?" Gaaki asked Iruni. "I don't know but if he doesn't get here quick-fast he'll pay for it."
"Let us begin!" announced Dume. "Norik, where is Kualus?"
Norik stood up and replied, "I don't know Turaga, but I can let you know that when I do find him he's going to have answer dearly for it."
Dume nodded, "Alright let us begin..."

The meeting had lasted longer that Bomonga had thought it would, wow Kualus is really going to have to find a way to make up for missing that meeting. But there was something bugging Bomonga, it wasn't like his icy friend to miss something like that, he is usually the one making sure Iruni and Pouks made it to the meetings. Something didn't seem right, but Bomonga couldn't figure out what it was. As he was walking home he decided to stop by Kualu's hut to see if he could find him or any clues as to where he might be. As Bomonga walked in he called out for his teammate. When he didn't get a response he walked over towards Kualus's bedroom. Again nothing, Bomonga decided he must not be here and started for the door. Just as he reached for the handle a sudden burst of ice covered it. "Dah! What the? Kualus what the heck are you doing?" asked Bomonga turned around. But rather than seeing Kualus he instead looked down the barrel of a gun. A purple flare sprayed him in the face, incapacitating him in seconds. He looked up at his attacker, "What the? Ta-" The being laughed and picked Bomonga up and started for the hole he made in Kualu's floor. He threw Bomonga down it and then threw a match at the wall. Though it was a small match it was still enough to ignite the gas of his own design. The being jumped down the hole and sealed the entrance behind him. "Two down, four to go."

"FIRE!" Toa and Glatorian where at the scene in minutes. Gali, Gaaki, and Kiina tried to put out the fire as quick as they could, but the flames where just to powerful and they engulfed the near by buildings. After the inferno finally died the true devastation was realized, not only did Kualus lose his home, but an entire community of agori and matoran.
"How could this have happened?" asked an agori.
"How could a fire like this just have happened?"
"Someone obviously had to have done it."
"But who could have made the flame burn that much?"
"I'll tell you who! It had to be one of those three fire Toa! Only they could have made a flame that powerful!"
"What a Toa would never do that! Maybe your fire Glatorian did it! He has fire powers to!"
"Ackar would never do that!"
"Enough!" yelled Acker, "Now what is this about? You," Ackar pointed at a random agori.
"Well, the only being or beings that could have made a fire this powerful are those fire Toa." Ackar turned around to Tahu who was standing a few feet behind him, "Is this true? Was this fire so strong only a being with fire powers could have done it?" Ackar didn't want too insinuate anything but the agori was right, this was no normal fire. Tahu was looking at the remains of the buildings, and all he could say was that these agori might be right, this flame was far too strong to be started by any old being. Unless there was something that accelerated the flame then the agori were right, only a being with powers over fire. And there was nothing that Tahu knew of that could make a flame burn that strong.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but, I think the agori might be right, unless there is some sort of fuel I don't know about then the only explanation can be a being with control of flame."
"But who would have done such a thing?" asked Ackar. At that moment Jaller arrived at the scene out of breath, "W-what did I miss?"
Tahu and Ackar both traded looks and then looked at Jaller, "Why are you out of breath?"
"I was ah you know ah..." stuttered Jaller.
"You were what Jaller?" asked a serious Tahu.
Jaller looked down at his feet and said, "I was with Hahli." Jaller started to look a little reder than he usually did. Tahu and Ackar both started to laugh under their breath until they were interrupted by an ice agori, "This still doesn't help us out! Where are we going to stay? What are we going to do? And who are going to hold accountable for this crime?" This comment sent the rest of the agori into a frenzy.
"Alright, alright enough. What do you want me to do? Put the fire Toa in jail?" asked Ackar.
"Yes!" replied the entire crowd of agori. The matoran all yelled no, but they couldn't be heard since the agori to matoran ratio was six to one.
"Way to go Ackar, looks like me and Jaller in in store for a fun night tonight. Come on Jaller, lets go find Norik. We better go let him know about the slumber party we're having tonight." said Tahu.
"Alright, let me grab my pillow first," replied a very sarcastic Jaller, as he and Tahu went to go enjoy their fun night in prison.

"Ohhhh, my head. Where am I?" asked Bomonga. He looked around trying to figure out just where he was. He looked around, it was dark but given that his eyes were much more equipped to seeing in the dark he could make out just about everything in the room. He was strapped down to a chair and had weird cuffs around his hands and was wearing a helmet with tubes all around it. There was one other thing too, it looked familiar but he wasn't sure where he, then the horrible realization, "K-Kualus?" Bomonga looked in horror at his teammate, encased in solid stone. "Who could have done this?"
"Ah I can see you found my collection."
"Collection!?"
"Don't worry you'll soon be part of it, now this is going to hurt." The shadow being put a helmet on and pulled a switch. Bomonga felt an incredible surge of electricity go through him. It hurt like hell, but Bomonga endured. Once it was over the cuffs on Bomonga released, giving him the perfect opportunity to use his mask power to defeat this wanna be Makuta. Bomonga jumped up and activated his mask power, but he didn't seem to be getting any bigger. He tried again, but again nothing happened.
"Were you trying to do this?" Suddenly the being grew to be sixteen feet tall.
"No!" cried Bomonga, he made a run for it. He put all the energy he had left in him to try and put as much distance between him and the shadow being. But it was all in vain, the being's superior size meant that he could catch Bomonga in just a few steps. He scooped Bomonga up and brought him to another stasis tube next to Kualus. Once the door shut Bomonga weakly got up using the walls of the tube to balance himself, "Why are you doing this? What do you want?"
"This isn't always what I wanted to do, I lived a good life until your Makuta Tridax kidnapped me and changed me and many others. Now all I want is to see the world as you know be destroyed, and stealing you and your friends powers will help speed up the process. Now I hope you enjoy being a statue," with that the being flicked a small switch and a strange dust began to fill Bomonga's tube. Bomonga desperately began to bang on the glass hoping that maybe, just maybe he'll break it and escape. His attempt at freedom was short lived because soon enough the dust filled the entire tube he he became a statue. If one were to look hard enough, they would be able to see a single tear falling from the Toa's eye.

So there you have it, chapter 1. I'll try to keep the timing between chapters as small as possible, but I don't know if I'll have the time since next Monday I start college, Cross Country, and Basketball, so it may be some time in between chapters. But enough of that, try to guess who the villain is by leaving a comment. With luck I can post another chapter on or by Monday, but no guarantees.
