Chapter Fourteen:
Disaster in Po-Koro

Gali awoke to an empty room the next morning. One glance at the clock on the wall told her that she had slept in.

She sat up slowly and pulled the covers off herself. She slung her legs over the side of the bed and winced as her bare feet came into contact with the cold floor.

She got shakily to her feet, her legs threatening to give way beneath her.

After a few minutes of wobbling about, she gained her balance.

She sighed and made her way into the bathroom, where she took a shower and cleaned herself up a bit. But no matter how hard she tried, she still looked like she hadn't eaten in days.

She brushed her hair and put it up into it's usual ponytail.

She sat down on the bed again. She pulled her boots on with mild difficulty as her hands were weak for some reason.

'must be some form of morning sickness' she thought with a shrug.

She chuckled at the thought. She found it slightly funny as she knew that there was no way she could be pregnant.

She got to her feet again. She smiled when she found her legs had a bit of their strength back. Her smile faded however when she thought of what she read last night.

A thought suddenly crossed her mind.

Lewa said something about a silver haired woman when he spoke to the whole group about his nightmare.

She grabbed her fingerless gloves and put them on.

Gali left the room quietly intending to find the others. She could hear their voices down in the tavern from the top of the stairs.

She made her way down the stairs slowly as her knees hurt slightly from kneeling down in the tunnel yesterday.

When she reached the base of the stairs, their voices quieted and they all looked at her. Gali looked down at the ground. She knew she looked like a torn up rag doll, but there wasn't really anything she could do about it.

"We thought you were gonna sleep all day." Pohatu said.

She looked up at them.

"Are you alright?" Onua asked.

Gali nodded weakly and made her way towards there table. She took a seat in between Lewa and Kopaka.

She looked down at the small bowl of fruit that Tahu had pushed towards her. Her stomach did a tiny back flip.

"Eat something," The red Toa said. "You look like a ghost."

Gali gazed at the bowl.

"Gali?" Lewa asked. "Are you sick?"

She looked at the teenager and put on a small smile.

"I'm just a little groggy." She said. "I didn't sleep to well last night."

She pulled a small lemon out of the bowl of fruit. She knew of an old remedy that would cure her grogginess. She cut the lemon in half and squeezed the juice into an empty glass. She drank the bitter juice quickly. The instant the juice reached her stomach, she began to feel a lot better.

The other's were all staring at her, except for Kopaka , who could care less.

"Did you just do what I think you just did?" Pohatu asked.

"It's an old remedy from Ga-Koro." Gali explained. "The acid in the lemon juice cures grogginess for some reason."

He raised an eyebrow at her.

She chuckled. The Toa all returned to their breakfast.

Gali looked at Lewa.

"Lewa." She said. "I need you to tell me about your nightmare again."

He looked at her before putting down his fork. He recounted his dream to her to the best of his ability.

"Hmm…"Gali said when he was finished.

She took a bite of her toast.

"So that's how The Lady Solaris died."

"Who's Lady Solaris."

Gali told them everything that she had seen and read.

"So this Solaris woman is the Avatar's mother?" Kopaka asked.

Gali nodded.

"But that's not important. What is important is that Makuta has one of the shards." Gali said.

Tahu banged his fist on the table startling everyone but Kopaka.

"Darn!"

Gali looked at him.

"Don't worry Tahu," She said. "When the time comes, we'll get it some how."

Tahu didn't reply.

Gali took another bite of her toast.

She looked up at Kopaka, he was staring off into space in deep thought as he normally did. For some reason lately, he had been reverting back to his old self. This wasn't exactly a comforting thought, as Tahu and Kopaka could break out into a fight at any second. And with Kopaka reverting back to his old ways, he wouldn't hesitate to kill the Toa of fire.

"So what are we going to do today?" Onua asked.

Gali looked at him and shrugged.

"Don't look at me," She said. "I'm not in charge."

"I suggest we go speak to Whenua." Tahu said. "It would make sense to go see what he has to say."

They all nodded in agreement.

~*~
Whenua looked up at the Toa.

"So you wish to know what would be a next move." He said.

He thought for a moment before looking up at them again.

"It would be wise to make for Po-Koro." He said. "I received a message from Onewa early this morning, I think you should read over it. It appears that Po-Koro is in peril."

Pohatu paled when he heard that.

Whenua handed him the letter. Pohatu read over it and paled even more.

"What does it say?" Lewa asked.

"Po-Koro's been attacked."

"By what?" Onua asked.

"It doesn't say. " Pohatu said. "It just says that they need us as soon as possible."

The Toa all looked at each other.

"We should go now." Gali said.

They nodded at her.

Tahu looked at them all, once again assuming his position as leader.

"Very well," he said. "We leave in fifteen minutes."

The Toa walked silently down the long tunnel that led to Po-Wahi.

Gali gazed at the walls about her and tried not to think about the desert that they would have to cross.

She ran her fingers over the cracks and grooves that covered the sloping walls.

"So this Deepening Wall thing," Lewa said, catching her attention. "What's it look like?"

"A wall stupid." Tahu said with a sneer.

Gali rolled her eyes.

"It's not just a wall, it's like a history book." She said. "There's writing all over it. It's basically a recounting of what happened during the War in Paradise."

"But why is it called "The Deepening Wall"?" Onua asked.

"Because there's a stair case at the base of it that leads into a small temple of Earth." She lifted her wrist and showed them her charm bracelet. " I found this there."

They nodded.

"Makes sense." Onua said.

"It does?" Lewa asked

Onua jumped up and bonked the teenage Toa lightly on the head.

Lewa laughed.

"Having trouble there shorty?" He asked with a laugh.

Onua growled at him.

"O.K. you two." Gali said. "That's enough."

They stopped their little 'fight' and continued down the tunnel.

Minutes later, sunlight was visible as they approached the end of the tunnel.

They left the cave only to stand in awe of what they saw.

The desert was completely soaked and flooded in some places.

Rain clouds were just beginning to pull away from the sun, letting the life giving rays to shine again.

"Oh God." Pohatu said when he saw this.

Gali's eyes narrowed suddenly, she knew exactly what had done this.

"Nirvana." She growled dangerously.

With that she took off across the soaked sand, not even bothering to put her Kakama on. She ran swiftly in the direction of Po-Koro. Her long legs strong from swimming and running on the beach.

The desert was completely soaked, it was also cold which wasn't good for the desert life.

She could hear the other's running behind her.

"Gali!" Pohatu called. "Wait Up!"

"I'll wait later!" She called back. "We have to get to the village now! We have no idea what Nirvana could have done!"

"then let's at least use our Kakama's" Pohatu replied.

Gali nodded and called up her Kakama. She put it on and took off.

She could hear the others as they used theirs as well.

She stopped once she reached the statues that ran along the entrance to the village. She ripped off her Kakama, the mask vanishing when she did so.

The statues had been knocked over and were worn away.

Gali ran into the village, only to be met with a horrific sight.

Half the village was flooded. Tohunga waded through the water, which came up to their waists and the Toa's knees, assessing the damage. There was wreckage and debris everywhere. Homes and other buildings were in shambles, tohunga sat on their roofs to keep out of the water. The Koli field was completely flooded up to the highest seats, it was like a big swimming pool now.

"Oh God," Pohatu said again as he looked at the remains of this once grand village.

"You said it." Lewa agreed.

"Oh thank the Gods!" Cried a voice "You came!"

The looked to see an exhausted Onewa rushing towards them through the water as fast as he could.

"Onewa!" Pohatu cried.

The Toa of Stone gently lifted the Turaga out of the water.

"What happened?" Pohatu asked.

"No time for that now." Onewa said. "Huki is missing!"

Pohatu gasped.

"What do you mean?"

"No one has seen him for a half hour now and we can't find him, his house is completely submerged as it's down by the Koli field. He went to see if he could find something." Onewa said.

Upon hearing these words, Gali took off through the water towards the Koli field.

"Gali!" The Toa called after her.

But it was too late, she had already dived under.

She swam down wards towards the field, she hadn't put her KauKau on so that she would be able to see better in the dark water.

She was about to surface for some air when her eye caught on something.

It was a tohunga sized Kakama without an owner.

She grabbed the mask off of one of the benches before giving a mighty kick and rocketing back up to the surface.

The others were all standing in the shallow water calling her name.

She swam over to them.

"Did you find him?" Pohatu asked with worry in his voice.

She handed him the Kakama.

"Huki's mask." Onewa said sadly.

Gali took her bandana out of her hair ,causing her hair to come loose and float freely about her in the water , she handed it to Onua along with her sheathed Glaive.

"Hold these I'm going back down."

She filled her lungs almost to bursting and dove back under despite their protests.

She swam down, scanning the stands.

She found nothing.

She swam up the stands towards she knew Huki's house to be.

She swam inside the dark little hut. Her jewel suddenly began to glow, illuminating the dark interior completely.

There lying helplessly and unconscious on the floor, was a maskless Huki.

She immediately grabbed him.

She swam as fast as she could out of that little hut, her lungs burning for oxygen.

She broke the surface with a splash.

"I've got him!" She called after filling her lungs.

The other's , except Kopaka, cheered. Even Tahu gave a whoop of relief.

Gali pulled the tohunga onto a dry patch of sand and laid him out flat.

He wasn't breathing.

Though her lungs were burning from the lack of air she had experienced she performed CPR to her best ability.

Huki woke up sputtering and coughing.

Gali gently rolled him over so he could cough up the water that had filled his lungs.

Pohatu gave the exhausted Huki his mask and knelt down next to him.

"You ok little buddy?" He asked.

Huki looked at him, his eyes widening.

"Pohatu?" He asked. He smiled when Pohatu nodded. "I've never seen you in Leyna form."

Pohatu smiled and hugged his friend.

Gali smiled at them weakly as she lay on her back, half in the water, half out of it.

She groaned slightly as a pair of strong hand latched onto her arms and pulled her to her feet.

She put a hand on her chest and coughed, her lungs finally returning to normal.

She looked at Kopaka and smiled in thanks for puling her out of the water.

"I've got it Turaga." Huki said.

He handed Onewa a small drawstring pouch.

Onewa opened it only to have a brilliant light pour out of it. He smiled at Huki.

"I was wise to trust you with this." He said.

Onewa looked up at the Toa.

"Come, " He said. "My hut is warm and dry."

The Toa followed him without question.
