"Got to hurry! Have to warn the others!" Kazea repeated these words over and over, like a mantra as he ran through the icy wasteland of the north. The strong winds of the blizzard were slowing him down, but not enough to stop him. His feet crunched through the snow, the ice threatening to crack below him and swallow him up. His heartlight beat at an alarming rate, fear, rage and grief clouding his thoughts. He only had one purpose now. To find his brothers and sister and warn them.

He was losing strength fast, the icy weather and pure exhaustion taking its toll on the Original. It wasn't long before he was forced to find shelter and rest. In his desperate search, he managed to find and outcropping that had a hollow sheltered from the wind and he gratefully threw himself down on the ground, and closed his eyes. The feeling of grief overwhelmed him, and he did his best not to cry out in pure rage. It had only been a few days since he and Zenik had parted ways with the others. Only a few days and this had happened! How? Mata-Nui, why? The green armored being grit his teeth and reflected on what had happened. As second-in-command, Ugarah had decided that Avion needed to be found. Without any hesitation, the rest had agreed. Avion was their leader and he would do the same if any of them had gone missing. It had also been decided that they not tell Nasukoh for now. She had too much to handle right now.

Now that the Seeker reflected on it, they should have told her. She would have known what to do in this situation. Shortly after the decision had been made, they'd split into groups. Ugarah and Tarusoh had gone to search the south and he and Zenick, the north. Now it was only him. Kazea felt a shiver of fear race up his spine. It was a feeling he wasn't used to. He was the reckless one. The fearless one. The one that could laugh at any challenge in the face before taking it head on. And here he was, shivering in the snow like a terrified matoran! Desperately, Kazea tried to erase the thoughts from his mind. The piercing purple eyes and cold, cruel laugh that could best Makuta's. They struck the deepest terror into his heart. And now, he had Zenick. And there was no doubt in his mind that he had Avion also.

"What's the matter, Original? Too tired to run anymore?" An amused hiss whispered in the dark.

Kazea didn't have time to answer before he was suddenly thrown against the wall, the ice cracking from the force of his impact. Then, there was an amazing amount of pressure placed on his chest and he was forced to struggle for breath as the being above him sneered at his prey. Cold eyes glittered with glee as he watched Kazea struggle to free himself, before he leaned down and grabbed the Original by the throat and slammed him against the wall once more.

"I'm taking it you didn't miss me, brother?"

"You're no brother of mine, Harim!" Kazea snarled, despite his fear and lack of breath. "You traitorous piece of Muaka- HACK!" His insult was cut short when the being known as Chronis tightened his grip around Kazea's throat.

"I'd watch my mouth, Kazea. You're not in the most… forgiving position at the moment." And the last thing Kazea heard before passing out from lack of air was Harim's cruel laughter echoing over the frozen wasteland.


"C'mon… Just a little more…" Lewa, Toa of Air muttered to himself as he watched Nasukoh pass below him.

He'd heard that she had managed to best Tahu and Pohatu and so he was excited when he found her tromping around in his swampy home of Le-Wahi. He'd been watching her all day, tracking her and setting up his trap. Certainly he could do much better than his Toa Brothers! All it took was knowledge of the land and a little trap-plan. She certainly wasn't very aware of her surroundings, this Nasukoh. Or the Toa of Air was really good at camouflage. Lewa liked this idea much better and he smiled cheerily to himself.

'Look at me! Lewa the track-finder!' He shifted slightly, trying to relieve the cramp forming in his leg. He'd been crouching on this branch for quite some time now, watching and trying to keep still. Something he wasn't very good at. He was meant to fly free and high, like the element he controlled! But it was worth it, if it meant that he could catch this Trainer and know how to defeat the Makuta. And showing his siblings that he could very well take care of himself! He grabbed a vine. 'Let's sight-see Kopaka or Tahu do THIS!' Without a second thought, the Toa of Air launched himself from his perch with a cry and sailed through the air, aiming to grab at the being below him.

Nasukoh sighed to herself as she stepped a few centimeters to the side and watched as the Air Toa whizzed past her a look of absolute surprise on his face. She cringed slightly when the young Toa smacked mask first into a tree that was in his way and land heavily on the ground. Chuckling, Nasukoh strolled over to him as if she had not a care in the world. She crouched in front of him, letting him stare at her from his back on the ground.

"A word to the wise, Toa," She grinned down at him, quite enjoying herself. Air Toa were so straightforward that they were almost completely predictable. "When performing a sneak attack, crying out and announcing your presence isn't always the best thing to do. In fact, you should avoid it altogether!"

Lewa stumbled to his feet, rubbing his mask where it had collided with the tree. "You thought-knew…" He said absently. "You thought-knew I was there the entire time!"

"Pretty much."

"Stone Brother wasn't lying then." Lewa grinned, unphased.

"Lying? Huh, news travels fast on this island."

She dodged just as Lewa came barreling at her again. "Typical. Impatient and stubborn. Not a very good combination." She dodged to another side and stuck one leg out, sending Lewa sprawling again. "Charging at the opponent only works for so long, and even then, it only works against opponents less intelligent than yourself."

Lewa got up again, spitting out a mouthful of swampy soil. Nasukoh continued with a large smile plastered to her mask. "And if I were you, I wouldn't lay traps where they were obvious." Just as she said it, Lewa found himself hanging upside down, caught in his own snare. He watched in absolute awe as Nasukoh walked away, her laughs echoing through the trees as she went.

'Where to next?' She thought to herself, when the Toa of Air was out of sight. 'Suppose Ga-Wahi IS closest...' She smiled. 'Gali it is then.'


And that ends the encounter with Lewa!

Can the Toa of Water put up a better fight?
