Another filler chapter that got written because I got hit by inspiration. . . . and a tennis ball.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bionicle, but my OCs are mine and I've got good friends that lend some to me, I also thank dragontiger12 and jamester211 for reviewing and tips.

(Ko-Metru, Knowledge Towers)
Morning in the freezing district watched as the Toa of Twilight practiced his sword style atop one of the towers, waiting patiently for the fire-spitter and his team to arrive, he had received important news from the Order, and he actually looked forward to sharing them with Nidhiki, Tuyet, Jovan, Varia, that Kadier guy and the ''Great Commander'' of the war: Lhikan.
The Toa practiced his self-created and nearly-perfected swordplay, it had taken him twelve years of practice against Todbuk to actually start the basics; it consisted of twenty forms that changed into each other, making a continous loop that could trap most opponents until they were in no condition to fight; as he carried on, the Toa was -once again- assaulted by memories of long ago and not so long ago.
(Flashback)
Kalnur had taken to wander the island ever since the team had been contaced by the organization called the Order of Mata Nui, apparently, word had gotten through them by his teacher: Botar; apparently, the teachers of Kreya, Kyros and him were all high-ranking members of it; in Kreya's case, the leader.
Anyways, he wandered impatiently around the island a lot lately, that's what allowed him to know more about the terrain, it's defendable points, the weaknesses and viewpoints; it was during a trip to one of his favorite spots -a cliff overseeing the fortress and the sea- that he found Vakuri had beaten him to the spot.
He supposed she already knew of his presence there, his new form being hard to miss, so he sitted next to her overlooking the clear blue sea below; after a minute or two of awkward silence, the toa finlly caved in and tried to start a conversation. "What's up champ? I've seen you down for a while now, is anything the matter?" The Toa asked his friend. "Oh, nothing. . . I'm just leaving in a quest tomorrow, and I don't know if I'll meet you again guys" The matoran answered in a sad voice as she planned on what she'd do in the future, maybe visit the fabled Metru-Nui. "Oh, so that's it. . . well champ, I have a request for you before you go; I may not know you a lot, and I'm not sure if I could be called a good friend, but I know I can help" The Toa said as he handed the side of a small seven-sided object to her; it had only one face completely bared of any carvings. "Come on, touch it" When Vakuri touched it, the cube instantly shined with an aquamarine glow and a carving appeared, marking her as a member of that team. "This makes you a member of the team champ, never forget that"
(End Flashback)
Kalnur was still practiscing, but his patience thinned, and seeing that it was nearly midday, he climbed down, salutating the Ko-matoran Nuju on his way -much to the matoran's surprise- and made his way to the Coliseum. He had walked no more than three blocks when half a dozen Vakhi -one from each district- surrounded him and pointed to the Coliseum, someone seemed to want a meeting with him. . . an important someone. Complying, Kalnur followed them into the structure, after many twists, turns and a couple of elevators, he entered into Dume's meeting room, there waited five other Toa, Water, Gravity and three Ice by the looks of it.
(Flashback)
Kalnur had been in the fabled City for two weeks and found he liked Ko-Metru and Le-Metru the best, while he found Ta-Metru and Ga-Metru very low on that same scale. He had been going around covered in Shadows, meeting some matoran that would probably become Toa in time; during one of his travels, he met with Takua, a Ta-matoran that liked to wander WAY too much; pulling him into an alley to avoid a vakhi patrol, he felt a sudden conection and knew he had found another one the Order had scattered, this made three already. "Thanks for the favour stranger, but I don't think I know you" Takua asked with a little hint of fear. . . . 'stupid size' Using his Avohkii to promote trust, Kalnur waved the matoran goodbye and continued on his tour.
(End Flashback)
Kalnur was about to start asking things like names, powers, weapons and reasons when another door to the chamber opened and in stepped the fire-spitter and his team. 'Well, now this is a surprise. . . '

Well, that went well, I'll try to update soon, but with exams coming and some teachers that seem to hate me, I can't make any promises. R&R! And once again, thanks to Jamester211 and dragontiger12!
