The Necessary Force Part Three
Gavla
"Matoran and Agori of Rooma Nui, listen! We've been pushed around long enough! I'm proposing the formation of a guard force to watch over the City, and stop wrong-doers! Who would like to join?" Tanma stood atop a large rock, shouting out as if people cared. Everyone laughed, and slung insults at him. Gavla saw his spirit begin to break. And that kind of spirit was rare these days. Besides, she had wanted something to do. "I volunteer!" Gavla walked forward, as the group of Matoran and Agori parted. A few people laughed, but others were just shocked. Tanma looked surprised as well. Excellent! There are few people as brave as you, Gavla! Suddenly, a voice was heard from the crowd. "We volunteer too!" Idris, the disgustingly kind Matoran walked forward, a strange Po-Matoran behind her. He smiled at her. She remained emotionless. "Thank you so much, Idris and..." He didn't know the Po-Matoran either. "Dekar." She finished for him. "These three are very bold souls! Is there anyone else?" One voice, a very small one, was heard. "I will!" The smallest Matoran in all of Rooma-Nui, Onepu, walked forward. This time, everyone laughed. Even Gavla smirked, but Idris fixed her with a disapproving stare. Tanma was slightly shocked, but quickly regained himself. "Truly daring, Onepu! There you have it! We aren't all cowards here!" The crowd mumbled, and dispersed. Gavla looked over her now-teammates. Tanma was once her very good friend. Idris was kind, a trait Gavla found unappealing. Dekar seemed to smile constantly, and Gavla actually found it hard to dislike him. And Onepu just looked very small, and fragile. Not a bad team.
Tanma
Tanma was very pleased with himself. A whole four people had joined, which was four more than he had been expecting. Now they just needed to arm themselves. And, as luck would have it, the Shopkeeper was in.
Dekar
This was all so strange. Yesterday, Idris had filled him in on everything. Apparently, he had been injured exiting the Mata Nui robot (Or so she believed) and had major amnesia. It seemed pretty likely. The last thing he could remember was that Mask. And now he was part of a defence force for the poor Matoran village of Rooma Nui. He was already starting to feel like himself again. By joining the Guard, Idris said, he would gain the trust and friendship of the locals. She also remembered him as quite strong, so it would be perfect. Well, except for that creepy Ga-Matoran. She didn't seem to like him. He though himself very charismatic, though, so he would become friends with her sooner or later.
Onepu
He was very obviously crazy. A wimp like him in the town's Guard? It had seemed oddly coincidentally, though, and he had decided to take the chance. And who knows? Maybe he might be respected more now?
Tanma
"If you give us your best weapon, we'll give you Onepu." Gavla pushed him forward. "Gavla!"
