Encounters: Chapter 1
The Track
Dowling Ontario Canada
"Fox, hey Fox!" Demon Child called.
Fox turned around and saw his best friend, Demon Child, coming toward him. He waved at her as she ran up to him.
Fox was a young boy, about 13 years old, with blue eyes, blonde hair, and a terrific sense of humor.
His best friend, Demon Child, was a 14 year old girl, with short brown hair, light brown eyes, and a very shy personality.
"Hey, are you coming to "The Track" with me?" Fox asked.
"If my parents say its ok, then yes." the girl replied. "We just need to stop at my house so I can ask, and pick up my bike."
"Ok, let's get going." Fox said as they began walking to Demon Child's house.
The island of Mata Nui
"Brothers, what do you think it is?" Gali, Toa Nuva of Water, asked.
"I don't know, but maybe we should show it to the turaga." Tahu, Toa of Fire, replied, reaching to pick up the oddly carved stone in front of the six Toa Nuva.
"Wait Tahu!" Gali cried, her warning coming to late.
As soon as the Toa of Fire touched the stone, a bright light appeared around the six Toa, and they vanished from where they stood.
Back in Dowling…
Demon Child and Fox were at the track with their bikes. "The Track" was actually a small clearing by a dirt-bike trail in Dowling. The clearing had jumps and wall-rides dug out of the soil which teenager's road their bicycles over. When the sun was still out, it was a place for kids to have fun. At night, the trouble makers would come, and start taking jumps over fire pits, and starting fist fights. Till then though, it was just a place where Demon Child, Fox and their friends could hangout, after school. This particular day, Demon Child and Fox were the only ones there, which suited them just fine. They weren't much for big crowds anyway. Demon Child had decided to take a break, so she took out her latest "Bionicle" book.
"Got a new book D?" Fox asked using her nickname.
"Yep, it's a new bionicle book." she replied.
"Sweet, what's it called?" Fox asked, coming over to look at the book she was reading.
"Tales of the Masks." she replied.
"Cool. Want to take one more jump before we go?" Fox asked.
"Sure, one sec." Demon Child replied, as she mounted her bike.
She started going top speed toward the biggest jump at "The Track." She had just gotten into the air when a bright flash of light appeared in front of her, and she felt herself crash into something. Next thing she knew, she had hit the dirt.
"Owww… what in the seven hells?" she muttered.
"D, you okay?" Fox asked from behind the jump.
"Yeah I think so…" she said, testing her limbs to check the damage.
As she looked over to where her bike lay, her eyes went wide with surprise.
What the hell is going on here! She thought, hardly believing her eyes.
