Chapter Ten:
A New Knowledge.

The Toa all stood around the sacred flame that took residence in Vakama's hut in TA-Koro.

The Turaga gazed wearily into the fire.

The Toa had made for Ta-Koro as soon as they had defeated the Nui-Jaga and regrouped with Kopaka and Gali.

It was sunset, and the Toa had just arrived.

"Now let me get this straight," Vakama said. " You said they called themselves the Dark Lords?"

Tahu nodded.

"Yes, they were mirror images of us."

"Except for the dark colors." Lewa added.

"Were they interested in the shards at all?" Vakama asked.

"I don't think so." Tahu said. "They seemed more interested in sizing us up than anything else."

Vakama nodded.

"Wait here."

The Turaga turned and disappeared into a dark back room. He returned carrying a very large and very old book.

Vakama gently set the massive tome on the floor. He bent and blew dust of the thick leather cover revealing gold lettering in a strange language. None of the Toa had ever seen this language before. They leaned in for a closer look.

"'The Book of Legends.'" Gali said quietly.

All eyes flew to her.

"What?" Lewa asked.

Gali pointed down at the book.

"That's what it says on the cover."

Vakama looked at her in awe.

"You can read this?" He asked.

Gali nodded, her face an emotionless mask like it always was when people were talking about her.

"But how?"

Gali shrugged.

"This language is eons old. It's from before you were made." Vakama said. "Only the other Turaga and myself can read it."

Gali didn't say anything.

Vakama shook his head.

He bent and opened the heavy book. He flipped through several pages until he came to a section that looked as though it were written in blood.

He ran his eyes over what looked to be a table of contents than flipped to a different page.

"'The Dark Wars.'" He read.

He looked up at the Toa.

"If what you say is true than the Dark Lords should be in here."

Sure enough they found a few pages completely to the Dark Lords, there were drawings of them and everything.

"Hmm.." Vakama said. "There's some information here you may want. It says that Makuta gave them each a special power that fit with their element. It has them listed here."

The Toa leaned in for a closer look.

"Turaga?" Gali asked. "May I read it?"

Vakama looked up at her and nodded.

"I would like to see you do this."

Gali took Vakama's place in front of the book.

"It says that the powers were all of dark nature and were some form of magic."

She ran her fingers down over the writing until she came to the information on Linnex.

"Linnex, Dark Lord of Fire." She said. "Power of Total Control."

"What does that mean?" Tahu asked.

"It means that he can make anything or anyone do whatever he tells it to." Vakama said.

Gali moved her fingers down to Seledon's information.

"Seledon, Dark Lord of Earth. Power to Summon."

"Well we already know that." Onua said.

"Jareth. Dark Lord of Ice. Power to Change."

"I'm guessing that means he can turn something into anything he wants it to be?" Kopaka asked.

Vakama nodded.

"Trice, Dark Lord of Air. Power to Destroy."

"Don't say anything, I have an idea what that means." Lewa said bluntly.

"Mirukar, Dark Lord of Stone. Power to Create."

"I'm guessing he can make anything just by thinking about it?" Pohatu inquired.

Vakama nodded.

They all looked at Gali expecting her to read more but she didn't say anything. Her long fingers were poised over the writing about Nirvana.

"What is it Gali?" Tahu asked, genuine concern in his voice.

Vakama looked at her, his eyes gentle.

"Go ahead child," He said. "Read it, I know that it is frightening but they must know."

Gali swallowed hard.

"Nirvana, Dark Lord of Water." She said shakily.

"What's her power?" Lewa asked.

Kopaka gazed at Gali, hiding his concern. The two Toa hadn't spoken to each other since the incident in the forest. In fact Gali had just locked herself away within herself.

"Read it Gali." He said sternly.

"Chaos Control."

Dead silence filled the room, even the fire quieted.

"B-but that's just a myth," Onua said. "Isn't it."

Vakama closed his eyes and shook his head.

Lewa squeaked and hid behind Pohatu. The Toa of Stone merely looked down at the ground.

"It can't be true." He said. " What kind of devil would give that power to one of his demons?"

"Makuta apparently." Tahu said. "Chaos Control…"

The red Toa gently placed a comforting hand on Gali shoulder and kneeled down on the floor next to her.

"Gali," He whispered into her ear so the other's wouldn't hear, "Do you want me to sit here with you?"

Gali nodded without looking at him.

Tahu sat down on the floor next to her.

"Chaos Control…" Lewa said peeking out from behind Pohatu. "But that means Nirvana can…"

Vakama nodded.

"Yes Toa Lewa," He said. "That means that Nirvana has the power to reverse the laws of science and change the world to fit her wants."

Lewa looked at the ground.

"Were Nirvana to use that power to it's full extent up would become down, black would become white. The universe would reverse itself. History as we know it would be blinked out of existence. Not even the Great Beings would be able to stop it."

A shudder passed through all assembled.

"I'm not afraid." Gali said suddenly. "I won't let her do something like that."

They all looked at her.

"That's very brave of you Toa Gali, but you must know that Makuta plays favorites. He pampers Nirvana and gives her nothing but the best because she has always been his favorite."

"That doesn't scare me Turaga."

Vakama sighed.

"You are a brave fool Toa Gali." He said.

"Thank You Turaga, but we already knew that." Gali replied with a bit of a smile.

Lewa leaned over the book.

"Does it say anything else about the Dark Lords?" He asked.

Gali looked over the book.

"Yes Lewa it does."

"Cool! What does it say about Trice?"

Gali looked over the information on Trice, A confused look on her face.

"That's odd." She said.

"What is?" Lewa asked.

"There's only one sentence here. And it's very strange."

"What does it say?"

"It says: Drop the Bomb."

"That's it?" Tahu asked.

Gali nodded.

"What the heck does 'Drop the Bomb' mean?" Lewa asked, slightly agitated.

The Toa shrugged.

Vakama didn't appear to know either.

"Hey is there anything in this book on us?" Onua asked.

Gali suddenly flipped through the pages and stopped on a page dedicated completely to the Toa Leyna.

"How did you do that?" Lewa asked in awe.

"I don't know." Gali replied honestly.

She read over the page, her fingers moving swiftly across the lettering.

"It says that we too apparently have certain powers." She said.

"Are they listed?" Kopaka asked.

Gali nodded without looking at him.

"OOO What are they?" Lewa asked excitedly.

"Well let's see."

She ran her eyes over Tahu's information.

"Tahu, Toa Leyna of Fire. Power to Vanquish."

"Awesome." Tahu said.

"Onua, Toa Leyna of Earth. Power to Recreate."

Onua nodded, pleased with his power.

"Pohatu, Toa of Stone. Power of Fusion."

"Rock on!" Pohatu grinned.

"Lewa, Toa of Air."

Lewa grinned big.

Gali smirked at him.

"Power of Foresight."

"DJ LEWA IN DA HOUSE!"

A chuckle passed through all of them.

"Kopaka, Toa of Ice. Power of Dreamsight."

"What is Dreamsight?" Kopaka asked.

"It's the power to enter the dram world and fight battles on the nightmare level." Vakama said.

Kopaka nodded.

Gali glanced over her section. Her eyes widened and she looked to Vakama in shock and disbelief.

"It's not possible!" She said.

"It's very possible Toa Gali." He said. "And it's true."

"But I don't want it!"

"I'm sorry Gali."

"What is it?" Lewa asked innocently.

Gali got up and suddenly ran out of the hut and into the city, where she disappeared

"What is it?" Lewa asked again. "What's her power?"

Vakama sighed and looked at them.

"Toa Gali, has the gift of….Chaos Control."

~*~

Gali was perched on the top of one of Ta-Koro's towers.

She was balanced on the toes of her boots with her legs up against her chest and her arms wrapped around them.

She gazed out over the ocean, which she could see from her perch.

She looked at the bandana she held in her hand, her loose hair flowing about her in the wind.

"Chaos Control." She said.

She looked on as the setting sun turned the sky into fire and the ocean into blood.

"But, why me?" She asked. " Am I the Avatar?"

She shook her head.

"No it couldn't be me. It's probably Lewa. That's what we'd expect."

She sighed and filled her lungs with the fresh air. She was glad that this tower was above all the smoke and ash.

The clean air cleared her head and let her think.

She looked down when she heard an odd noise.

The Tohunga in the streets below had apparently noticed her and were pointing up at her in awe.

"Looks like it's time for me to come down." She said.

Gali stood up in one fluid motion.

She leapt on to the side of the tower and slid down to the ground on her feet.

The Tohunga all watched her in amazement as she leapt of the side of the tower and landed in front of Vakama's hut.

She entered to find the other Toa sill there, looking through the book in awe.

She didn't even bother to put her hair back up as she closed the door behind her.

The other's looked up at her.

"Where have you been missy?" Pohatu asked.

"Up above the smoke and ash, where the clouds are clear and the air is pure."

They looked at her in confusion.

"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" Lewa asked.

"Figure it out for yourselves."

She gently ran her fingers through her silky electric blue/ aqua hair.

"Ah, Toa Gali, you've returned" Vakama said as he returned from the back room carrying a small leather pouch.

"What's in the bag Turaga?" Tahu asked.

"Something you'll need." Vakama replied.

He opened the bag revealing a shard of the Onite crystal. It was glowing like the sun.

"Why didn't you tell us you had that sooner?" Tahu asked.

"Because I just remembered it." Vakama replied. "Each village has a shard. There should be eleven shards in all not including the twelfth which is hidden within the Avatar."

Pohatu stepped forward and drew out the leather bag which he had turned into a sort of necklace.

He opened the bag. Brilliant light came forth form it instantly. Vakama gently dropped the second shard into the leather bag with it's brother. Pohatu closed the pouch and hid it away again.

Vakama looked up at the Toa.

"It's getting late," He said. "You should all get some sleep."

The Toa nodded and headed for the inn.
