Chapter 2: The punishment.
Tahu glanced at Kopaka for last time. Kopaka did the same. There was a lot of hate on each other eyes.
"What you did is very serious, Toa" Nokama said.
"He began!" They both said at the same time.
"Never mind who began!" Vakama yelled. "What you did is unforgivable!"
"Sorry" Kopaka muttered. Tahu was more proud and he didn't say anything.
"Are they gonna have a punishment?" Lewa asked. Kopaka and Tahu began to think of the sinister things they would do to Lewa for saying that.
The six Turaga looked at each other and began to mutter something between them.
"I think you're right" Vakama said to his brothers and looked at Lewa "Yes. They are gonna have a punishment"
"What it is?" Tahu asked a little afraid. He expected something like feed the Kuma-nui for months, or clean all Mata nui. That wouldn't be so terrible after all...
"We are sending you two to an island with strange Rahi and plants. And you won't be able to come back till you are brothers again" Onewa said.
"WHAT?!" Tahu and Kopaka yelled.
"You...That's...That's not fair!" Kopaka exclaimed.
"With all the respect, Turaga," Tahu said "How do you expect us to survive in that island if we don't even have weapons?"
"You have your hands" Matau said and enjoyed what he said next "But on everything, you have each other"
"And who will force us to go?" Tahu asked reluctantly.
Nuju then froze them to the neck. Kopaka looked at Tahu froze him with his glance.
"Why can't you ever shut up?" Kopaka asked. And Pohatu and Onua carried them to Ga-Koro, then they put them on a little boat.
"The ice will melt in some hours" Whenua said "Good luck, Toa. Mata Nui protect you"
They were traveling about four hours in the ocean, under the sun, and the ice melted at all, so they were ignoring each other.
"If you had not been there when I attacked the Kuma-Nui, we wouldn't be floating in the mid of nothing!" Tahu said broking the silence.
"Shut the hell up, Tahu, you almost burn me. This is YOUR fault" Kopaka answered. "Also, you jailed me into a fire jail, so you was the one who began all this"
Tahu stood up in a hoop. He was choleric and he almost unbalanced the boat.
"But if you wouldn't exist or you wouldn't have ever born, everything would have been better!"
Even when Kopaka wouldn't admit it, those words hurt, specially coming from one of his brothers. But he didn't let see how he felt, he just stood up too and pushed Tahu off the boat.
"HEY!" Tahu yelled, evaporating a little of water around him.
"What?"
Instead of jumping to the boat again, Tahu let himself be guided by the rage, he used is Pakari and broke the boat, so Kopaka fell to the water too.
Please, sit down and see how Tahu and Kopaka are trying to drown each other in the sea.
"STOP IT!" Tahu shouted "You know what? I'll swim, and I don't care where I go if I must be away from you!"
"You asshole, Turaga Vakama or Turaga Matau can be here right now watching us!" He sighed "I don't like, but we must go together to the island they said. Is an island with many threes"
"Okay…"
Seven hours later, when the night fell, Kopaka and Tahu were on the island, they could reach there faster by using their Kakamas, but anyway, they were tired.
Kopaka crawled in the shore; Tahu walked and then let himself fall to the sand. The island was mysterious, the wind was strong and it made Tahu shiver. Kopaka was used to the cold. He stood up and walked.
"Where are you going?" Tahu asked still in the ground.
Kopaka sat down in the sand; he grabbed a little stone and threw it to the ocean.
"I hate you" He said quietly.
Tahu stood up.
"Well, is not my fault that you have jumped in front of the Kuma Nui when I was going to attack it!"
"Of course is your fault!" Kopaka exploded "Everything is your fault! You almost burn all Le-Wahi, you could have burn Ga-Koro moments ago and now because of you we are here! And we are gonna die because of the strangers creatures who live here! I HATE YOU!"
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BORN!"
Kopaka hated to hear that, so he jumped over Tahu and began to punch him on the face, Tahu rolled and he end up over Kopaka, and began striking him on the face too, Kopaka was about to use his Pakari to punch him harder when they heard a noise.
"Get off me!" Kopaka shouted as he pushed Tahu off him.
"Shut up, snowball" He said "I heard something"
"I always knew you was crazy." Kopaka said, even though he heard the noise too.
