Yeah… No Kidding, Island of Death
Chapter 2
Lekura slowly opened his eyes and shook his head.
"Where the heck am I?" He asked himself.
Unexpectedly, he got a reply. "We call this place Jui-Nui…Welcome Visitor." Said the stranger.
Lekura got up. "My names Lekura…I'm looking for some villagers by the name of Tahu, Lewa, Onua, Gali, Kopaka, Pohatu, and Takanuva…Any idea where they are?" Lekura said to the strange matoran.
"Oh..Them." The stranger said.
"Can You lead me to them?"
"Sure…What's left of 'em, anyways."
As Lekura and the matoran walked past a bridge, Lekura looked around. What a strange place- No tree's…no life- only rock.
" Our Master shall see you now." A voice said, and when he looked up, he was inside a giant stone structure with barely any light.
"What has brought you here, Master Toa?" asked an old croaky voice.
"I have come in search of my friends- in the name of Mata-Nui." Lekura responded.
"There is no such name here. I know who you speak of…sadly."
Suddenly the speaker turned around. Now, if you have ever felt glad for once, but all of a sudden you are reminded of how many bad things are still happening and that so many questions are still are unanswered, then you know how Lekura just felt.
"VAKAMA!" Lekura shrieked in relief. "I thought you would've been gone by-"
"SHH! Not so loud…." He said, with grief, looking down.
"It has been so long since I have heard that name- too long. Do you know how many years it has been since I last saw your face?"
"6. Right?"
"No. Not in Mata-Nui's Time. It has been 12 years. I am the last one left. Except for Lewa- but he is no Toa. He is a beast. Listen- Lekura, for this is a tale noone should ever here."
One day, one of our Matoran was searching through the archives we he came upon a room- a room with 4 doors. All sealed. We did not know what any of them were, but our sources said portals to other worlds.
We found a way through the portals- certain keys- which I had not deciphered what they really meant until recently. The Matoran and I were in the room when this happened. The First We opened was Jui-Nui, and we were sucked in to instantly wake up here.
It happened slowly- One by one, they disappeared. When they came back, they either were mindless, or evil. The rest of the toa were destroyed, by them.
"Who's "Them"?" Lekura asked.
"The Spirits."
"What?" Lekura shook.
"No. Not them…beings…forces. Evil." Vakama whispered, calmer, softer, and softer…until all that he heard was the wind outside.
'They control this island. Anyone who stands in there way is killed, or kills others…I had to go into hiding. You understand, don't you? I had to change my name…everything. When Tahu was sacrificed by the towns people, I didn't know what to do. I first was part of the rebellion, but they just struck us off- One by one."
"Why didn't you just leave?"
"They have a barrier around here… Some type of force field. We can't leave. We can't even go fishing…"
"In Mata-Nui's Name, What has happened to the others?" Lekura asked.
"One by one. First it was Pohatu, he was too….sigh…Then, it happened to the others. Onua, Kopaka, Gali, Tahu, Then Lewa…"[
"You mentioned Lewa was still alive…didn't you? Where is he? And what about the other Turuga?" Lekura was starting to panic.
"Well…Lewa is alive, in a manner of speaking," Vakama had a worried look in his eyes as he said what he did.
"What do you mean?"
"Lewa was behaving, normal, like always, as you knew him, but one day his best friend, Nakaru, was killed, or should I say wanted to be killed, but either way Lewa seeked revenge." Vakama said.
"So they Spirits did him in?" Lekura asked.
"Kinda. It's confusing. Lewa went to the mountaintop here to ask that the Evil spirits, if they would release his friend, but they refused, so we assume that Lewa fought."
Lekura looked into vakama's eyes.
"And then?"
"Go there for yourself."
