Bionicle: Frostbite
Written By: Remepie
Plot Bunny Adopted From: Mazula
A/N: Hello!I'm Remepie and this is my very first fanfiction! I've always been a fan of Bionicle, and Bambi is a very precious movie, Bambi II being more of such. I've always envied the beautiful relationship between Father and Son, especially in fanfictions with Nuju and Matoro inhabiting these roles. I've been inspired to write this after reading a few Father/Son fics byMazula, she is a fantastic writer and her stories are wonderful! She had a plot bunny up based off of Bambi II and I immediately loved it. I was able to adopt it, and here I am.
This fanfic is going to go on for a long time, at least, as much as I can. I plan on taking it as far as possible. Though this is a BambiII Spin-Off and will contain things from the movie and such, I'm going to throw in ideas of my own to make it a more Bionicle friendly and originality friendly fic. You should probably have some sort of knowledge on Bionicle and Bambi I/II to really enjoy this fic. I plan on keeping up with Bionicle and Bambi more to be able to give you guys some cannon too. The prologue is more of a beginning of the movie, the scenes leading up to Bambi II's beginning. So much canon to follow…eue
So, I hope you enjoy this fanfiction!

Plot Bunny Adoption Info: I adopted this from the amazing Mazula. She's really awesome; check out her fics sometimes, yeah? I was inspired by her and I'd like to thank her very much. I hope this fic is to your liking, Mazula, and that you don't mind it. Thank You again!

Gathered friends.
Listen again, to our legend, of the Bionicle.
In the Time Before Time, The Great Spirit descended from the heavens, carrying we, the future of the world.
To this paradise.
We were separate, and without purpose.
So the Great Spirit illuminated us with the three Virtues.
Unity!
Duty!
And Destiny!
We embrace these gifts, and in gratitude, we named our great home Mata Nui, in honor of the Great Spirit himself.
But our happiness was not to last.
For Mata Nui's brother, the Makuta, was jealous of these honors and betrayed him.
Casting a spell over Mata Nui, who fell into a deep slumber.
The Makuta was free to unleash his shadows.
And unleash them…he did.
Now...
We live in this world of unimaginable creatures that Makuta and Rahi alike, could only wish to be one of. Born unto the minds of the Great Beings, we came to be. We are spirits of Mata Nui's grace; walking the lands and seas, ruling the forests and skies. Whether it be on foot, belly, hoof, tentacle, or claw. These creatures are known to us by many things. But in this case…we are…
Animals.
But, we creatures weren't like many others.
We are distinct.
Unnatural.
Very intelligent.
Creative.
Great.
Blessed with great long lives.
And so much more.
We are embedded with beautiful spirits, every single one of us blessed with unique destinies and talents. The elements walk with each, guiding our beings with a piece of Mata Nui's love within us all.
Whatever it may be, we venture into the realm of marvelous kingdoms of vast lands and seas.
Again, a new legend is to be foretold, one brimming with great unity, powerful duty, and unimaginable destiny.
This is the story of a young prince who will find that he has a much greater destiny in store, than what might meet the eye. He will meet many foes and friends, and come to meet with a legendary creature.
His only kin…
A new story begins to unveil itself upon the world, entrusting the hopes and dreams of the past and future unto unlikely souls.
In this world full of magnificence and wonder…
Peace will not last forever…
But protecting it, we shall…
Heroes will rise.
Villains will flourish.
We will not fall.
Hope is not lost.
For legends have foretold of the three virtues baring new heroes to protect the peace of the land, each hailing from the great kingdoms of the elements.
These implausible spirits will ascend to power and, with the power of the elements, bring the darkness to shambles…
But we will stand tall and protect the glory the Great Beings had blessed us with, as our debt to them and our Great Spirit, Mata Nui.
Now…
Come.
Join our story, in the wondrous lands…of Mata Nui.

"Matoro! Quick, the thicket!"
A beautiful birch colored doe cried while shooting her precious son a liquid rose gaze of pure terror. Said fawn turned to his mother, dazzling ice-aquamarine eyes round with alarm and utter confusion.
What was wrong?
Why was Mother looking from side to side nervously?
Weren't they enjoying tender spring grass just moments ago?
Before the adolescent had time to even mouth a word in response, his mother harshly nudged him towards whence they came. His spindly pallid legs protested from their once relaxed state.
He was completely baffled.
Matoro's innocent face found not what was to worry about. He hadn't heard anything out of the ordinary. Just the typical quiet tranquility of his winter home. Still, did Mother prod him, in an urgent panic to move him. An odd gaze sweeping across her pretty countenance, but he couldn't study is further as he received another nudge.
Quickly, Matoro tumbled forward. He was rather startled, but, being the obedient child he was, the young prince abided by his mother's wishes. He broke into a run, careful not to trip or stumble as he flew through the meadow.
X X X X
Hooves pounding against the snow coated meadow, Matoro bounded through the slushy grassland. Snow dissolving from underneath his hooves, heart thumping rapidly, and Mother trailing behind at a stead-fast pace…it was...scary. The young prince could practically smell the fear radiating from his mother, which only stimulated his own. The snow-white fawn simply hoped that everything would be okay.
Oh how he was very wrong…
Suddenly, an odd sound rang through the still air like an intense bolt of lightning.
BANG!
Matoro felt his heart jump from inside his chest from the thunderous noise; resonating in his ears like a raven's cry.
It terrified him out of his skin.
Picking up the pace, Matoro pressed himself further, ignoring the throbbing cries in his legs.
He wouldn't let Mother down.
But, his thoughts did drift towards other things.
Such as…
None of this made sense to him.
What in Mata Nui's name was happening?
Why was he running for his life right now?
He pondered these questions mentally as he raced through the meadow, his Mother pushing him to go faster.
The fawn leaped soundly across a half frozen stream, the trickling hymn of running water singing a cold melody, unnaturally. He strained his large pallid ears for the sounds of his mother's hooves, and his own. It helped the fawn focus on the task before the pair.
Get out of the meadow.
A voice moved fluidly through the air after Matoro slightly slowed in his haste.
It was Mother.
"Faster!"
"Faster Matoro!"
"Keep running!"
His Mother's voice started to fade slightly, causing the small fawn to look back for just a second; worriedly.
"Don't look back! Keep running!"
Matoro snapped his head ahead in that instant, determined to follow his Mother's plea. He sped through the waning grassland; the only comforts were the sounds of hoof on snow and the unsteady breath of his kin behind him.
X X X X
It was taking so long.
He bounded into what seemed like a never ending path of white.
Matoro didn't realize, until now, how deep into the meadow he and his Mother really had been.
Just to find freshly born spring grass in this winter wasteland.
Was food really worth all of this anarchy?
Feeling the aching throb scream from Matoro's ivory hooves, the young prince began to dawdle.
"Keep running!"
Mother's last words rung like clear morning bells to his ears, giving the fawn the boost he needed to make the last stretch. Matoro made the last jump across the stretch of meadow, another flurry of snow exploding behind him from the impact of the jump, accompanied with the piercing noise from before.
BOOM!
It seemed to stop short, instead of ringing out like the loud noise from before did. It made a peculiarly dull thud, as if hitting something. Though, little Matoro didn't pay heed to the following fall that followed soundlessly to the clearing's floor.
He simply continued his Mother's wishes like the loyal son he was.
X X X X
The snow-white fawn dove into the woods, ignoring as his pelt brushed irritably against naked branched of bushes and such. His heart sounding wildly and ears ringing from the noise around him. He wanted badly to look back; his Mother's movements seemed to dim considerably, if entirely. That was silly. His Mother was really quick and she was following him! Of course she was still trailing after him!
But, the sudden silence scared him.
How easy could it be to just stop and make sure Mother wasn't too far behind. But, his Mother made it very clear. She said to not look back.
Don't look back…
X X X X
Matoro continued to run, darting from every nook and cranny that the wood's narrow path had to offer, until he finally made it to the safety of the thicket; the opening of the great fallen tree welcoming him warmly. Sliding into the far back of the plant covered den, Matoro fell to the floor to catch his breath. Taking in much needed crisp cold air, Matoro somewhat hyperventilated as his childish voice broke through the winter night.
"We made it!"
His little heart drummed against his chest like a great drum, ears still buzzing from the strange noises from earlier. As the noise gradually faded, an eerie silence followed. Still, tiny Matoro's gaze lingered on the entrance expectantly.
"We made it Mother!"
No answer. No reply. Nothing.
"We- Mother?"
Silence continued to answer the young prince.
Where was Mother?
Why was she taking so long to get here?
She was the one who ordered him to go to the thicket.
She must've followed.
He knew he heard her close behind.
Where was she?
Blinking, Matoro got to his feet and cautiously exited the mouth of the thicket. His beautiful blue eyes rivaled that of an owl's as he took in the scenery about him. Snow had begun it's rein from the heavens above, falling in lovely pieces of frozen liquid. He would have stood in place to really take in the beauty of his homeland if not for his mother's absence at stake.
The little prince wandered from his home, shivering from the growing cold of the newly awakened snow storm. His tired legs continuously trudged through the icy blankets of snow as he searched. Eyes scanning every spot, from large to small, about him, he found nothing but a noiseless blizzard. While his subconscious was very curious and yearned to explore the places his Mother never let him go about, he found himself reminding what the problem at hand was.
His Mother…
…
Mother was taking an awful long time.
Head held loftily and ears drooping slightly, he called as loudly as possible for his beloved mother. Maybe his…no…his mother was looking for him. She just needed to find him. He would help her.
"Mother!"
Matoro's ears flicked once or twice, head swishing from side to side to listen for his mother's answer.
…
Silence hailed him.
He persisted, calling her name once more, louder, as he moved a little further from his home.
"Mother! Where are you?!"
Nothing but silence. Matoro didn't want to give up. He had to find Mother, she would never stop looking for him, so he wouldn't do this to her either. The young prince trotted away, until he could no longer make out the fallen tree that sheltered his mother and him. Moving to the left, Matoro yelled out into the mild blizzard.
"Mother!"
Still no answer. Matoro's anxious expression melted into one of confusion, a tinge of desperation tinged the young fawn's voice as he asked for her again.
"Mother!"
Again did Matoro twitch his ears, violently moving his head to hear for her melodically soft voice. To tell him everything was alright. But sweet serenity countered, much to his dismay.
Racing about, the young prince began to lose his sense of surroundings, becoming more and more lost as he went. Disregarding the flurry of ice-cold snow, Matoro continued to call for his mother, constantly waiting and turning about to look for her.
"Mother!"
With each call, he grew fraught, his spirit diminishing while he briskly bounded across the frosty wonderland. With every twist and turn, searching everywhere he could, no one replied.
"Mother!"
Far astray from his home, Matoro dashed about, the cold finally getting to him as he shivered.
He felt so alone.
Where was Mother?
Why wasn't she answering him? Why didn't she appear or find him by now?
The questions threatened to overtake the fawn's mind. No. Mother always said to be optimistic in bad situations. But still. It's hard to be happy when you don't have a widget to where your Mother was. He shook his head as to dispel the morbid thoughts anyways, and looked up to the sky. It was covered in gloomy gray clouds, only the slight glow of the moon peeking out from the tree tops offered any light to the panicking prince.
"Mother…"
He ended that single word with a dithering voice; much like that of a trembling leaf clinging to its brown limbed home. He was shaking from being on the verge of tears.
Instead of a call, the word sounded more like a desperate plea.
A last sign of hope.
X X X X
He was so hungry…
So cold…
And…so very alone…
X X X X
Where was Mother?
Ears drooping from the sides of his head and eyes penetrating the white-out confusedly for sign of Mother, a large towering shape came into his line of vision.
"Huh!"
Mother…?
Gasping profoundly, Matoro jumped back, legs straightening. He was stiff with fear. His bleary tear stained eyes barely made out the majestic figure among the midst of the snowstorm.
It was a great buck, body as silver as the shining moon above.
He looked strong and very handsome, with an intimidating stature that was rather slender than very large and muscular. Though his body rippled with muscle as he stepped forward, his brilliant ice blue gaze was the most ethereal feature to the buck. It burned into Matoro's own moonstone eyes with an immensely glacial aura, void of any emotion. He made the scrawny snow-white fawn feel inferior.
Like a tiny snowflake under his silver hoof.
With a dignified head slightly adjourned to look down on little Matoro, he stilled completely, just like a statue; large antlers with several ivory points peeking out from the mist surrounding them.
Matoro was faced to face with…no…Mata Nui...why was...He...here?
After a great silence which seemed eons long, the silver buck began with a soft, just above a whisper, muse. It lacked any sentiment. Just like his eyes.
This wasn't Mother.
It was…Him…
"Your mother can't be with you anymore."
Wh-what?
What...what did he just say?
That can't be...
No! No, no, no, no, no!
No…
Time came to a stand-still at that moment.
Everything had frozen.
Frozen solid.
But oh, did it hurt.
It hurt…
Those simple seven words inflicted more pain then any bullying, injury, nightmare, or anything Matoro had ever experience before.
It hurt so much.
Silence followed the great deer's words, he seemed to wait patiently. He wasn't looking for a reply.
Matoro lowered his head, disconsolate.
No…
It couldn't be…
Mother…
Mother…she…
She wasn't coming back?
He couldn't be with her any longer?
He would never feel her soft warm fur brushing against him.
Never would he feel her tender licks of affection and comfort.
Without the loving words and wise lessons to fill his ears?
No longer given the love and affection he so desperately cherished let alone needed?
No…
She…couldn't…shouldn't…can't…
Matoro didn't want to realize it…he didn't want to see the truth…he didn't…
He refused.
Matoro couldn't wrap his head, no, his being, around the idea of his Mother's absence.
But, it was undeniable.
How badly did Matoro want to run.
To pretend this never happened.
That he never went into the meadow with Mother today. To act as if today never happened and he was back to sleeping in the loving embrace of his Mother's side.
But, again, he was frozen stiff. Glued to the spot by some un-seeable force that mocked his emotional pain by keeping him in this tortuous limbo of reality and pretend.
The strong presence before him kept the young prince in it.
Cold icy depths for eyes…of endless nothingness.
It was there.
The gaze.
His look.
It was forcing…
Forcing Matoro to except and mull over something he didn't want to believe.
The truth…
The ugly...
terrible...
undeniable truth…
That she…
She…
She was gone.
And she wasn't coming back.
X X X X
Matoro finally came back to his bitter reality, head slowly rising upwards to meet the buck's gaze once again. His bright blue orbs grew large and unbelievably wide with pain and overflowing emotion, enduring the throbbing heartache physically now. He was understanding. So of course, it hurt. It hurt alot. The tears he held back before began to trail down in traitorous crystal clear droplets, down his cheeks before falling to the snow covered floor.
His body shook and trembled, shivering from the emotions that wracked their selves from him, shaking the poor abandoned child with grief and loss.
He felt empty…
Broken…
Lost…
The silver furred buck before him simply gazed at the young deer for an instant longer, gaze lingering icily as he turned his head away. He gracefully moved towards the snowy path ahead as he spoke once more, his voice extremely hushed.
"Come…"
Yes, Matoro would follow.
For he had no where to go now.
His empty husk of a self retained for a moment before following the mysterious silver creature. But, Matoro couldn't help but look back one more time, hope glimmering in the slightest that his mother would appear at this moment and save him from his sorry. Quiet silence replied, laughing soundlessly at his false-hope. Eyes down cast, he turned to trail behind the older buck.
The lost little deer would indeed follow the mystifying buck.
For he was all Matoro had left.
Him…
The honored and respected silver protector of the woods…
The Great Prince of the Forest…
No.
The King of Ko-WahiForest…
The Silver Prince...the Silver King...
Known to some as Nuju…
But to Matoro, the stern buck was different.
He was someone that Matoro could recall from his first day out on that dreaded meadow. It was where his mother introduced him, momentarily, to a great silver buck that moved with grace, like an elegant king down the isle of his throne. He was something else entirely.
Before completely bounding away, The Great Prince quietly called out to little Matoro, voice strained to barely audible, before falling silent as the two vanished into the swirling incandescent snowfall.
"My son…"
A/N: So that was the Prologue of Bionicle: Frostbite
Poor little Matoro! Just love the boy. He's been through alot. He only has MORE to go through... *evil snicker*
There will be more to come soon. I plan on updating frequently. More characters to come too! This is going to get more and more away from Bambi's plot as it goes. Since, eventually, Bambi ends pretty quickly and such. I want to keep the story going for quite some time.
This took forever to write ;u; Lol, I hope you guys don't mind any length issues. But, eh.
Please Read and Review if you wish, I don't honestly care if you really don't want to, I'd simply appreciate it. Thanks alot and bye!
