Queen of Metru Nui
Nerdgirl-hime

A kingdom in it's prime has been struck down by an unknown evil.
Six Toa discover an ancient secret, only to die.
From across the universe to back home again, it'll cost whatever it takes to return to the throne for six youths to fulfill their destinies. After aeons, the timing is right and the kingdom will rise again... If darkness doesn't swallow it first.

Prelude:

Nokama sat down hard, shading her eyes from the glaring sunlight of Po-Metru. She leaned back to lie in the sand when she bumped against something. She looked up to see Onewa, smirking playfully.

"Already taking a nap, Nokama? Tsk tsk." He wagged his finger.

"Sorry, Onewa." Nokama said as Onewa helped her up. "It's just the excruciating heat here. I fare better in cooler temperatures." Nokama smiled. "So, what did Vakama need us for?"

"He came over last night and told me that he found something in a cave nearby. He ordered everyone to come over to that cave, and-" Began Onewa.

"-And I got lost on the way and you found me." Nokama finished.

They walked on through the desert. As they neared the cave, they saw four more figures, colorful and clear against the beige of the sands. One of them, the green one, ran over to Nokama and Onewa. Without a word, he grabbed both of them by the wrist and dragged them over to where everyone else was waiting.

"Hey, guys! They're here!" he yelled. Vakama nodded in greeting, Whenua waved with a friendly smile, and Nuju grunted with a small grin.

"So, Vakama, what did you need us for?" asked Onewa.

Vakama pointed to the cave. "I want to show you something in there." He went in and they all followed. Vakama used his power over fire to light up the cave as the Toa Metru followed him through winding tunnels. Eventually, they came to a small chamber. There was an inscription of some sort on the walls.

"Nokama, could you translate these for me?" Vakama asked. Without response, Nokama activated the power of her kanohi and started to translate.

"One of you, record this. These words seem important." She said as Nuju pulled out a tablet. "Metru Nui was once a kingdom of peace and prosperity. It is the most important island city in this universe. However, the -this word is smudged out- tried to destroy the city and succeeded. Metru Nui fell into darkness, but then the Queen was given the throne and she saved Metru Nui with her court. Metru Nui regained it's importance. But then, the -I'm assuming this is the same being who attacked earlier- came back and killed the Queen and her court. However, the Queen and her court was said to have been recently reborn into the bodies of six new Toa." Nokama switched off her mask power. "That's it."

"Wow..." Nuju said. His cyan-colored eyes were wide behind his kanohi. "A Queen of Metru Nui, I never thought of that!"

Tyorin...

Vakama's flame went out.

"What was that?" Matau looked around in the darkness. He couldn't see anything, not even the glowing eyes of the other Toa. "Guys! What happened!" He took a step forward, only to feel something wrap around him. It was slimy and strong, holding onto him with insane strength.

As his last screams were drowned out, nobody saw words of poisoned purple flame form on the walls.

Those Toa will not have very long to live.

To Be Continued...

AN: I diddlied out a little outline of this story when I was in 6th grade and abandoned it. Then I picked it up again in August. It's an epic, yay.
