Chapter 2:

Hahli had joined Gali on prison guard duty thirty minutes late, "There you are, what the heck took you so long? And why is mask on funny?" Hahli straightened out her mask and told Gali, "Sorry, I was with Jaller and we lost track of time."
"So wait, did you guys, do something? Did he finally make a move?" asked a gitty Gali. Hahli blushed and this prompted Gali to figure out everything that went on between the two, "So what did you do?"
"He finally kissed me," confessed Hahli.
"Oh my gosh! You have to tell me everything!"
"Well he had come over to my hut to hang out and as we kept on talking he suddenly leaned in and kissed me."
"Did you two do anything else? You know..."
"What No! No no no! We just made out for twenty minutes, we didn't do anything else!" said a very defensive Hahli.
"Right, I'm so sure," mocked Gali. Hahli was planning on arguing more but she was cut off when Tahu came in and told Gali, "Get a cell ready, I've got three more prisoners."
"Who?" asked Hahli.
"Us," said Jaller as he and Norik walked in behind Tahu.
"Wait what!?" said Hahli and Gali in unison.
"Well from Tahu and Jaller told me there was a fire and the agori blamed us and here we are." said Norik.
"Make that four prisoners." The group turned around to see Ackar standing behind them, "I want to show the matoran that we are fair, so I'll stay in prison with you."
"Um, okay follow me and I'll put you in your cell." said Gali as she escorted them to the end of the hall. The cell they were in had five beds, reinforced proto steel bars, and six foot thick solid stone walls. "Are you sure that you want to do this?" asked Gali.
"Yes we're sure Gali, we have to keep relations between us and the agori good. We don't want them to think that we are above the law, even if none of us did it, but I still don't know if none of us did it. I plan on getting to the bottom of this." said Tahu.
"Well, okay if you say so." The four fire Toa walked into their cell and Gali closed the door behind him. Gali joined Hahli back at the front office, "So you and Tahu," smirked Hahli.
"What? Eww, gross. I don't like Tahu at all!"
"Right I'm so sure." Gali summoned a ball of water and flung it at Hahli. It hit Hahli right in the face. "Oh now your asking for it!"

"So what have you guys done so far today?" asked Tahu to the rest of the group.
"Well I signed a few papers, helped sort out that whole fire mess with you, and now I'm here." said Ackar.
"I was with Ackar, which he can confirm (which he did), then I went looking for Kualus, I was heading towards his hut until you and Jaller stopped me."
"I finished my guard duty on the front wall, I stopped by Hahli's hut, and then met you at the scene of the fire, and here I am." Tahu, Ackar, and Norik all began to laugh, "Whats so funny?"
"Nothing Jaller, nothing," said Tahu who was still holding back his laughter.
BANG!
"What the heck was that!?" asked Ackar.

A few seconds ago...

Hahli and Gali were still in an epic water fight when all of a sudden the floor beneath them exploded sending both of them to the wall. They both watched as a dark being emerged. Galli was the first to get up and lunged at him, the being caught her weapon and used her momentum to send her into Hahli. Hahli, having dodged the attack, but at the expense of Gali being knocked unconscious, launched two cordak bullets at the being. He suddenly shot a blast of ice at both freezing them in place. Then he fired his own projectile, and net of shadow which entangled Hahli causing her to be incapacitated. The being walked over to Gali and picked her up and started to approach his hole.

"Alright it appears that there is only one of them," said Jaller as he used his Kanohi Arthron.
"Got it," said Norik as he used his kanohi to shrink down to six inched and run through the bars with ease. Norik returned o his normal form and ran over to Gali and Hahli, but by the time he reached there he was too late and Gali was gone, as well as the hole in the ground, "How in the heck did he do that?" Norik went and helped Hahli out of the net and grabbed the keys and let the rest of the fire Toa out. Other Toa and Glatorian were on the scene in minutes.
"Onua, how did that being fill the hole?" asked Tahu as he approached his Earth comrade.
"Well as strange as it sounds, he used elemental powers to do it, and I can't track it either since it is covered with ice at the bottom!"
"How the hell did the ice get there?"
"I have no idea," said Kopaka as he joined the group. As the rest of the Toa Nuva tried to figure how and why the being took Gali, the Toa Mahri where with Hahli trying to figure out who the being was, "So did you get a good look-glance at him?" asked Kongu.
"Not really through all the smoke, all I saw was his arm and staff."
"Well what did those look like?" asked Hewkii.
"Kind of like, that!" exclaimed Hahli as she pointed at Takanuva. Takanuva looked over and the rest of the Mahri gave Hahli a confusing glance, "Hahli it couldn't have been Takanuva. He was with me and Gresh not too long ago." said Nuparu.
"But it was the same armor, only black and his staff shot out shadow instead of light." Takanuva approached the group, "Ur what did I do?" asked a very confused Takanuva.
"Nothing Takanuva, you didn't do anything, however I do have to ask you a couple questions." said Jaller. As him and Takanuva walked outside Gaaki joined the rest of the Mahri and tried to help calm Hahli down.

"Takanuva I have no idea whats going on, do you know anyone who would have the same weapon as you and have control of shadow?" asked Jaller.
"I have no idea, but whoever it is has Gali, and who knows who else." said Takanuva.
"Maybe even a certain ice Toa who failed to show up at a meeting," said Jaller. Jaller and Takanuva's eyes both widened as they made the realization. They ran to Norik and told him of their finding, "That would make sense, but why?" asked Norik. As the three tried to figure it out Iruni approached the group, "Um hey Norik, have you seen Bomonga? I haven't seen him and I was wondering if you know where he is, Onua and Nuparu could use his help."
"No I haven't seen him, last I saw him he told me he was going to go try and find-" Norik stopped with a look of sheer terror on his face, "That fire was planned because someone had gotten too close to the truth. Whoever took Gali also has Kualus and Bomonga." said Norik grimly.

Gali slowly opened her eyes, "Wow, that was a doosey, where am I?" Gali was hooked up to some weird machine that she didn't recognize.
"You finally woke up, excellent! Now I can begin." Before Gali go a chance to react she suddenly felt a large surge of pain, it was too much for her and she passed out again. "Ah, now I don't get to see her face as she realizes she is becoming a statue." The being decided to test out his new mask powers out, "Alright lets try Lewa's mask first." The shadow being focused on flying, but nothing happened, "What the, wait." The being formed water around his head and found himself breathing it, after that he tried Kopaka's mask, but again nothing, "It would appear I only gain the power of the mask she is currently equipped with, oh well I can find a use for this." The being grew to ten feet tall and set Gali in a stasis tube. He put her in a standing up position and went to go throw the switch, a few seconds later she became yet another statue to his growing collection.

"We have called this emergency meeting to discuss a matter of great importance," said Turaga Dume. "We appear to have lost three Toa to an unknown enemy and we have no idea who, why or what to expect next, this meeting is to discuss and see if we come up with any answers. Now Toa Mahri Hahli has informed us that the being appears to have the same weapon and arm armor as Toa Takanuva. Now with this information does anybody have any idea who or what this is?" Everyone was silent for a moment until Toa Helryx stood up, "Turaga I believe I know who it is to blame for these attacks. After I sent Vezon on a suicide mission he survived I asked him what he saw and had Axonn confirm it. Vezon told me that during his little adventure he went to Makuta Tridak's lab where he told me he saw an army of Shadow Takanuva." The entire council gasped, "He truly thought that they were destroyed so I thought nothing of it, but it would appear I was wrong." Everyone looked at Takanuva who was enraged, he stood up and screamed, "Why didn't you tell me about this!"
"Like I told you I thought that they were destroyed so it didn't matter."
"Didn't matter? DIDN'T MATTER! An entire army of dark copies of me and it didn't matter?! Even if they were all killed I should have been told!" Takanuva then stormed out of the council chamber, "I got it!" said Jaller as he went after him. After about a minute of awkward silence Vakama finally said, "Well now that we know who it is, lets try to find out why this Shadow Takanuva is taking Toa." Everybody thought and thought but they couldn't come up with anything. "Well think people, he has taken Kualus, Bomonga, and Gali, there has to be a connection." said Nokama.
"Well Kualus and Bomonga are Toa Hagah and Gali is a Toa Nuva so there is no specific team being targeted." said Nuapru.
"And I don't recall those three ever working together on any big project so thats out," said Norik.
"None of them ever went on a mission that would have brought them to Tridax's lab," said Helryx.
"They all had very different personalities," said Pohatu.
"None of them lived in the same area," said Hahli.
"All of them worked in different parts of the city," said Matau.
"None of them could have ever known about him," said Kongu.
"They are all different elements so what could that mean?" asked Lewa. Lewa didn't realize it but he just gave the council the answer that they were searching for, "Thats it! He must be capturing one of each element. So that leaves Stone, Air and Fire still up for grabs." said Kopaka.
"And light if he decides to try take Takanuva," pointed out Onua.
"Wait, didn't we just let our Toa of Light and a Toa of Fire out, with no one to protect them?" said Hewkii. By the time the group had realized their mistake it was already to late.
