Ah, the thrill of posting a new story for my fellow authors to read. I really hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Disclaimer: Bionicle belongs to Lego, as usual. Kit, Tehreisha, and Darcius belong solely to Goldenrod. Jen is mine.

Another school day had come and gone, as had another week. It was Friday, and everyone was rushing home in his or her own ways, either by parents picking them up, school bus, bike, or walking. Kit was doing the latter, as she always did, with her friend Jennifer, or Jen as she preferred to be called. "You want to come over at my place for a little while?" she asked. "Sorry, Kit, I can't," Jen replied. "My mom wants me home as soon as possible. Something about family-time," she said. Kit nodded in understanding and the two girls conversed about different things until it was time for them to part ways. Jen crossed the street while Kit kept going straight. She had not gone more than a mile and was just enjoying the cool breeze when, all of a sudden, her senses were on the alert. 'Guess dealing with what I dealt with in the Bionicle world can do that to you,' she thought to herself as she began to have the eerie feeling that she was being watched. No, not just watched. Worse . . . followed. Muscles tensing, she tried to be as prepared as possible for anything that might come at her.

Takanuvas eyes snapped open as he shot up in bed, breathing hard. He calmed down after a while, but he still had that odd feeling that he had had whenever Darcius had been around. 'But he couldn't still be alive, Kit killed him.' He began to think about what he had just seen. He had been in Kits world, seeing it through her eyes, and talking to another girl that looked an awful lot like her except for the fact that she had darker hair and eyes. They had soon split up and he began to get an eerie feeling of being followed. Looking over his/her shoulder, he saw the one face that he hoped to never see again. Darcius. Then, he began to run as others started to appear. He hadn't gotten far when he felt a searing pain and blacked out. That was when he woke up. The others have to know about this, he thought, because this wasn't just a dream, it was a vision. He slowly fell back to sleep. They were having a meeting in the morning and that was he would tell them.

In her own realm, Tehreisha sighed out of relief and smiled; the Toa of Light received her message. Earlier, sensing something was very wrong, she willed herself to focus and tried to locate the source of her anxiety. When she did, she was just as stunned as Takanuva and Kit had been. "It cant be," she said to herself in disbelief and horror. "Its not possible." But, she couldn't deny it, no matter how much she wanted too; the attacker had the same feeling of power and intent as Darcius, plus he looked a lot like him. Wait, she thought, somethings not right. Focusing harder, she realized that though they felt and looked the same, there was something different about Kits assailant. Try as she might, she just couldn't quite put her finger on it. In hope of not having to leave her post, she sent Takanuva a vision of what was happening, and it worked.

The Toa of Light raced down the street to the meeting, hoping that he wasn't too late. He finally arrived, stopped, and caught his breath. "Why the rush, brother?" Takanuva looked up to meet his sister's worried gaze. "There's something going wrong in Kits world," he answered. "How do you know?" "Last night, I had a dream, only it wasn't a dream, it was a vision." He explained everything he saw, from the girl he was talking to, to the attacker that he caught a glimpse of. All of them gasped when he described the man. "But that can't be right, Kit destroyed him," Tahu said. "I'm afraid it's true, Toa of Fire." All of them whipped around to face Tehreisha. Though she looked calm, all could see the worry in her eyes. "Kit is in grave danger; you must go to her aid immediately!" A thought flashed into Kopaka's mind. "How are we going to get there?" Tehreisha glanced at him. "I will transport you there, but when you get there, you must stay hidden until you find her." She activated a portal and the Toa Nuva stepped in, just wondering how they were going to handle this problem.

The man glared down at the girl before him while his cohorts grinned and chuckled evilly. There on the ground was the one who killed Darcius and was going to pay very dearly for it. He leaned down and reached out a hand to grab her, intending to hoist her onto his shoulder and take her somewhere where they were sure not to be interrupted. Then, all of a sudden, one of the thugs gasped in surprise as he was turned into a statue of ice. Before anyone in the group could wonder how that was possible on a warm day as this, three more of the men found themselves victim to a spout of water and a powerful gust of wind-both that seemed to come out of nowhere. Noticing where the origin of the attacks seemed to be - a large row of bushes - he jerked his head in that direction, telling his remaining man to check it out. The man looked at him nervously, but when his frown deepened and red eyes glowed dangerously, he steeled himself to investigate. As he approached the shrubbery, he took out his knife from his belt. Slowly, he tried to peer into the leaves of the bush to see if he get an idea of who-or what-was behind there. A second later, a black metallic arm reached out and sucked him in through the undergrowth. The bush rustled as a muffled struggle occurred behind from view. Seeing this, the leader decided he was not going to take any chances, and reached down toward Kit again. Before he could grab her, he found himself repelled by some sort of shield that suddenly enveloped the girl. After that, he found himself blinded by a flash of intense light. Someone had, apparently, come to the girls rescue. Unable to see his enemy and figuring he'd wasted enough time here, he retreated, shimmering out of sight. Just then, Kit regained consciousness. To say the least, she was confused to find the human Darcius look-alike and most of goons gone and one of them an ice statue. Hearing a pssting sound she turned her attention to some bushes next to her. Kopaka's eye and scope were showing through the leaves. When she gasped, the Toa of Ice placed his finger to his lips. Getting the message, she nodded and jerked her head to the iced man. Once the girl was behind him, Kopaka released his elemental hold over the man, returning him to normal. The man looked around confusion, and Kit backhanded him in the back of the head, knocking him out cold. Turning her attention to the bushes, she gestured for the hidden Toa to follow her.

Taking them to Jen's house, where she sometimes went to either check up on the other girl if she wasn't feeling well or to just hang out with her, Kit turned around and looked at the Toa. "Okay, this isn't going to be easy, but I promise you, she won't tell anyone about you guys. Once she makes a promise, she keeps it." Tahu glanced suspiciously towards the door. "Who is she?" Kit sighed and smiled. "You'll find out soon enough." She turned back around and knocked on the door. Moments later, there was the sound of footsteps was heard and the door opened, revealing a girl about Kit's age with golden colored hair and dark blue eyes. "Kit, what are you doing here and . . .who are they?" she asked as she looked over Kit's shoulder at the Toa. Without waiting for an answer, she gestured for them all to come inside and led them downstairs to her room. "Well Kit, aren't you going to introduce me?" "Oh, right." Kit cleared her throat and turned to the Toa. "Guys, this is my friend Jennifer, or as she prefers, Jen. Jen, these guys are the Toa Nuva. This is Tahu, Kopaka, Gali, Pohatu, Lewa, Onua, and Takanuva." Each one nodded as their name was said. Jen bowed her head politely and said, "It's an honor to meet you all." All of a sudden, Jen's eyes snapped to the wound on Kit's arm. "What happened?" she asked as she looked at her friend, who seemed very exhausted. "You looked like you just got bucked of a horse and stomped on." Kit smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of her head. "Boy, have we got a lot to tell you."

Minutes later, Jen was in the kitchen preparing a little snack for everyone while the Toa and Kit watched some TV. Kit would've been in the kitchen helping, but upon Jen and Gali insisted that she take it easy after what almost happened. Both girls couldn't hold back a shared giggle as the Toa moved closer to the TV screen, fascinated, to the point where their eyes were practically glued to it. Though she didn't mean to, Jen couldn't help but keep glancing back at Kit, who sat on the couch and was pretty much the only real friend shed ever had in her whole life. Ever since she was little, Jen was treated different from the other kids, as if they thought she was different in some way that she couldn't understand. It was because of this difference that other kids either stayed away from her or teased her. And so, she was left out, and became a bit of a loner. It wouldn't be until years later that she found out the truth of what she was. Of course, things didn't get much better in high school where the bullying and teasing were worse then before. Despite that, Jen took it all in stride and ignored them-or at least she did until she was in the mood to strike back and had the opportunity to do so. Then again, it was the bullying at school that brought her and Kit together. One day, some boys were picking on her and she had nowhere to run. That was when Kit stepped in and told them to leave her alone. One boy in particular decided he was tough stuff and tried to shove her away, only to end up in a painful wrist lock. Seeing the look in her eye, the boys ran for it. Jen remembered feeling amazed; no one had ever bothered coming to her defense before. After a few weeks of just making the effort to hang out with Kit and talk to her, Jen found that she was actually starting to like the girl and feel comfortable around her. The two had been good friends ever since. Suddenly, the memory of what Kit told her happened earlier with the weird man intruded into her mind and a shiver of fear ran up and down her spine. 'If Kits description of him and her injury are any indication, I sure hope I don't have to meet him any time soon,' she thought to herself.

Okay, kind of a weird cliffhanger, but give me a break. Again, Kit, Tehreisha, and Darcius belong to Goldenrod and I do not own Bionicle. R&R please.
