Finally! Chapter 2! Yay me!
Don't read if you haven't been keeping up. You'd be surprised how many people don't know anything after the Mask of Light movie.
Near Destral
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Xeon. He, Brutaka, Helryx, and a number of other beings were approaching Destral, the Makuta's base. "It probably isn't," said Helryx,"but it's the best we have, so shut up already." "We're here." Trinuma said quietly. "We need to take out the guards before they sound the alarm. Krakua will block their shouts, but they probably have other means of communication. Xeon, you and Axonn will keep the Rahkshi off us." "Great." answered Xeon. "I'm working with a being I don't even know, fighting the second most powerful creatures on this island. Why don't I just do it blindfolded as well?" "Shut up," repeated Helryx.

Destral outer gates
Xeon looked around in a panic. Axonn was down, ambushed by a group of invisible Rahkshi. The rest of the OoMN agents were dealing with guards. A group of Exo-Toa was headed his way. Worst of all, a Makuta had been alerted and was approaching his position. Xeon grabbed the nearest Rahkshi's staff and hit it over the head with it, stunning the Krataa. Hurling the staff, he disabled another, while lifting a third with magnetism and using it as a bowling ball against a number of others. Catching a third charging him, he used magnetism to control it, having it battle another while its Krataa protested. Taking a blow to the back, he turned to see the Exo-Toa approaching and the other agents still occupied. He sighed. It was going to be one of those days.

Five minutes later
Xeon looked at the destroyed bits of armor around him. He had used magnetism to explode the Exo-Toa and batter the Rahkshi. Once that was gone, he had used the Destral flags to attack those who were left. Now his opponent was an orange Makuta wearing a Mask of Telekinesis. "So…" hissed the Makuta,"There are still Toa of Magnetism. I thought we destroyed you all. I'll just have to destroy you… painfully. Prepare to die, Toa." "Wow, do you talk a lot," answered Xeon. The Makuta began hurling Rahkshi bits at him using the mask. Xeon responded by hurling the Makuta through a wall, then ripping the Mask of Telekinesis off the Makuta and crushing it underfoot. Of course, this made the Makuta angry. Xeon smiled as his opponent charged him, and grabbed the Makuta's shoulders with his Scissor Staffs, flipping his opponent over. While the Makuta was stunned, Xeon began adding metal pieces until his opponent was unable to move. He then picked up the immobilized Makuta and used it to knock down some guard towers.
"You're lucky he didn't use his powers," said Helryx. "Hate to have lost you." "If I hadn't had to go alone, it wouldn't have been as risky." complained the battered Toa of Magnetism. "We need to go in," Interrupted Jerbraz, an invisible agent. Xeon gave the imposing fortress one look and said, "This has fun written all over it." "Didn't I tell you to shut up?" replied Helryx irritably. "Twice," answered Xeon with a smile.

About fourteen hours of battle later
Xeon hurled the Rahkshi high in the air, and then slammed it back down with a sickening crack. "That's the last of them," he called to Helryx, who was investigating the fortress. "That was fun." commented a Ko-Matoran called Mazeka. "Let's never, ever do it again." Xeon looked around. The group was back on the beach, where the last fight had taken place. "It's weird, fighting Rahkshi for a change." commented Xeon. He had already told Helryx about his dimension. "Oh, by the way, you can go." Said Helryx. "And if you tell anyone about our group, you will be killed." "Wow, you are so nice." replied Xeon, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Metru Nui, a day later
"Come in," called one of the Turaga. Xeon walked in and sat down. "Why did you want to talk to us?" asked Nokama. Xeon had spread the rumor about himself that he was from a southern island, and had left when a new Toa team arrived. "I want to take up residence here." said Xeon. "I am fine with helping the Matoran in return for housing." "Fine, but a Toa Mahri will watch you." said Dume. "Oh, and talk to Hewkii about housing. He's a Toa of Stone, you'll find him in Po-Metru." "Thank you, Turaga." Xeon said. He walked off before they could ask more questions.

Po-Metru
"Who are you?" asked Hewkii. "It is not your concern. I need a living space." replied Xeon. Hewkii used his Stone power on a boulder, reshaping it into a house. "I didn't know I could do that," Hewkii noted with surprise. Turning to Xeon, he said, "Now, who are you?" Xeon smiled. This was going to be fun. "I'm an evil alien from a distant planet, bent on conquest." Xeon answered sarcastically. "Ha. Ha-ha, and again, ha." said Hewkii. "How do I carry this?" asked Xeon. "Tell me who you are, and I'll help." answered Hewkii. "Fine. I'm a Toa of Magnetism from a southern island." Xeon said. "Good." said Hewkii. He triggered his Mask of Gravity and pushed the boulder. "Thank you." said Xeon.
Hewkii, however, was looking into the distance. "What is it?" asked Xeon. "A Matoran. In a hurry." Xeon looked around, finally spotting the Matoran directly behind him. Triggering his Magnetism powers, he dragged the Matoran at high speed towards them. Recovering from his confusion, the Matoran said, "Hewkii, the Ko-Matoran have spotted aircraft out at sea. They're headed for Metru Nui. And they're being piloted by the Toa Nuva!" Xeon smiled. This meant Mata Nui had been awakened.

An hour later
Xeon watched the aircraft land. Beside him, the Toa of Water guarding him, called Hahli, watched as well. The Toa landed and were brought to Dume. After they had greeted the Matoran, Xeon found them alone. "I know you don't know me, but I need to talk to you. You know Helryx?" "Yes," answered Tahu. "She thought it would be good if I met you. I'm Xeon, Toa of Magnetism." "So?" asked Kopaka. Xeon shrugged and said, "Just thought you might want to know. Good luck at your celebration."

After the celebration
Xeon stared at the Mask of Shadows in the sky. This was very bad.
