Hope you're all enjoying Nasukoh's story. Here's some more for you guys!

And no, I do not own Bionicle. Only my OCs.


Nasukoh trekked through the lava flats of Ta-Wahi, taking her time. The test had begun two hours ago, but she wasn't worried about it. There really was only one way for Toa to win this challenge and she wanted to see how long it would take for the Tao Nuva to see the answer. For now though, they were just doing what she had expected. Soon after she had issued the challenge, the Toa had split up and decided to try to catch her separately. She had just shaken her head in annoyance. Pride was a sad, sad thing sometimes. So, here she was, back to square one and trekking through Ta-Wahi. What fun.

Nasukoh wanted to see what each Toa would do in their own Wahis, so in a way, this was a learning experience for her too. Or, rather, information gathering opportunity. As the Toa's (soon to be) trainer, she needed to know each of their strength and weaknesses. All of them. Not just the obvious ones. And Tahu was her first target. Although, taunting him by taking her time out in the open put her in danger of being seen by the matoran. No plan was perfect. She could only hope that he took the bait soon.

She wasn't disappointed.

"Hold it there, Trainer!" Came the voice of Tahu and Nasukoh turned around at her own pace. It seemed to annoy the Toa of Fire. She grinned.

"You want to talk Toa?" Nasukoh smiled. Obviously 'talking' was the last thing on Tahu's mind.

"I've come to make good on your promise! When I catch you, you WILL tell us how to defeat Makuta!"

Nasukoh's smile widened. "You mean 'if' you catch me Toa of Fire."

"I WILL catch you!" Tahu roared before lunging at her with his sword.

'Mata-Nui!' She thought. 'Tell him to catch me and he tries to slaughter me.'

But opponents like Tahu were easy to deal with. They took the straightforward approach. And were predictable to the point where it was almost boring. She had to give him credit for guts though.

"GAH! Hold still!" Tahu shouted angrily as Nasukoh dodged left and right, easily avoiding his blade.

"But then it's not a challenge!" She laughed as she ducked under him and flipped him over her shoulder. "And it's so much more entertaining when the fight is going in my favor."

Tahu cried out, tumbling head over heels down a slope and crashed at the bottom. On the top, Nasukoh looked down at the Fire Toa. He really did represent his element well. Spontaneous, bold, commanding presence, hot-headed and…...

"You'll pay for that!" The fully revived Tahu roared.

… Easily enraged.

"Then come and get me." Nasukoh grinned tauntingly.

Tahu didn't waste any time, charging back up the hill with fire encasing his sword. This so-called 'Toa-Trainer' would pay! NOBODY made a fool of him! At least, that's what ran through his head as he attacked Nasukoh. She easily avoided him.

"Tch!" Nasukoh clucked disapprovingly. "You're too sloppy Toa. Brute strength is good, but you have to couple it with brains not bravado!" She dodged again, before swiftly throwing him off balance. "See what I mean?"

The Toa of Fire landed on his backside, which only seemed to make him angrier. But he did see what she meant. Getting angry and losing sight of your target wasn't the way to win. It only made you look stupid. He stood up and brushed himself off, trying to calm himself. Then he sighed.

"Give up?" Nasukoh grinned.

Tahu's eyes flashed defiantly. "Never!" He roared, lunging at her, but keeping his cool.

This time he could see where she was going to move before she did and he changed the direction of his swing just as she moved to dodge. He didn't even make contact. Instead, he found that his sword had been wrenched from his grip and he was stuck from the waist down in a sink-hole that had not been there previously.

"What the- !" he cried, struggling to free himself from the thick ground.

Nasukoh was watching him in amusement. "Not bad." She smirked. "Maybe there's hope for you after all, Flamethrower." She laughed heartily, stabbing Tahu's broadsword into the ground a little ways from him and walking away. "Remember, a week and this challenge is done! You'll have to step it up if you want to catch me! Until next time, Toa!"

With that, Nasukoh left behind an angry Fire Toa and some knowledge. Not all battles were won through strength alone. She knew that Tahu would get out eventually, but it would take awhile. And she had the feeling he would be back. Well, let him keep coming. With the way he was acting, there was just no way he had any hope of laying a finger on her.


"That was entertaining." Nasukoh hummed to herself, as she followed the underground tunnel to who knew where. "Flame brain has a lot of growing up to do. But at least he's making progress."

One Toa down, five more to go. That was what Nasukoh was thinking. They sure didn't seem like anything special anymore. Of course, not one group of Toa ever had an easy time completing any of her challenges. So, where to next?

A large grin spread across her mask. "Be prepared, Toa of Stone. I'm coming to see what you can handle."
