"The Light"
By: Green Devil
Part III "The Kal"
After seeing all the destruction done to the forest the Toa Nuva quickly made their way to Le-Koro to see if the village was safe. When they got there they found the villagers to be okay but it looked like a tornado had been through there. Apparently they had an encounter with one of their new enemies. Everyone in the village was safe and accounted for so that was all that really mattered.
"Turaga Matau, what came through here?" Tahu asked.
"It looked like a Bohrok but it was like no Bohrok I've ever seen." Matau answered. "Talk to Turaga Vakama, he'll know what that creature was."
"I'll talk to him. Meanwhile, you all go back to your villages and check for any damage. We'll all meet back here tomorrow to help Lewa's Matoran since he won't be able to." Tahu ordered and the others agreed. Onua took the sleeping Lewa to his hut, surprised it was okay, and laid him down on his bed. He made sure Lewa was comfortable then left for his underground village.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Lewa awoke a few days later in his hut feeling brand new. He jumped up, went outside and breathed in the fresh forest air. He looked around his village and saw it, as it always was, peaceful with music and laughter in the air. But in one hut, the music wasn't so peaceful. Lewa quickly made his way to the music teacher's hut and what he saw made him fall to the floor laughing.
Pohatu was noisily banging on a set of Le-Matoran drums with no sense of what he was doing. The Matoran in the hut were either covering their ears or trying to get him to stop. When the Matoran heard laughing above the racket they all shouted "Toa Lewa!" and ran over to him. Pohatu heard what they said and stopped playing. He looked to the doorway, pouted, and walked over to the giggling Lewa.
"What's so funny?" Pohatu asked, hands on his hips. Lewa looked up at Pohatu from the floor.
"You of course! You and the way you play drums. You could really use some practice." Lewa smiled.
"I'm not that bad . . .am I?" Everyone stared at him. " . . .Fine! So I can't play the drums, big deal. I'm still the fastest thing on this island. Anyway, what I want to know is what are you doing out of bed?"
"I feel fine and what I want to know is what are you doing here?" Lewa countered.
"The others left me here to take care of you while they went to check on some disturbances."
"Oh. Well, I'm gonna go leafrunning for a bit. See ya!" Lewa turned and began walking off but was stopped by Pohatu.
"Lewa, I don't think you should be up and running around like that just yet."
"But why not?"
"Because uh . . .because I said so!" Pohatu picked up Lewa and slung him over his shoulder.
"Hey! Put me down Pohatu!" Lewa yelled and pounded on Pohatu's back. The brown Toa was unfazed by the assault so just smiled and laughed as he took the green Toa back to his hut. Once inside Pohatu plopped Lewa down on his bed and ordered him to stay put.
"Now why does this all seem so familiar . . ." Lewa mumbled.
"Don't be mad Lewa, I just can't let you out of Le-Koro alone."
"Why not? Pohatu, is there something you're not telling me?"
"Uh . . ."
"Pohatu Nuva, you tell me what's going on right now or I'll take off to find out myself and you know you can't stop me!" Lewa growled.
"Lewa . . .Fine, I'll tell you. You see, after we got you back from Makuta we left his lair and, as we exited, we found the forest a total mess. The trees and plants were uprooted, burnt, electrified, magnetized; it was a total mess! We brought you back here, checked our own Koros, had Tahu talk with Vakama, found out our symbols had been stolen, and if you haven't noticed, our elemental powers are gone. The others went to check on some leads about the symbol thieves and left me to keep an eye on you. Uh, is that it? Oh yeah! And our new enemies are some creatures named Bohrok-Kal. They're like the Bohrok but stronger. They have better powers and, along with their original color, they're chrome. They're gonna be pretty hard to beat if you ask me." Pohatu concluded.
"Wow, all that's happened? Darn, I've missed all the fun . . .Wait a minute. Our elemental powers are gone? You mean, my control over the air is gone?" Lewa asked shocked.
"Yeah." Pohatu answered plainly.
"Well, what are we gonna do? Without our powers we won't be able to defeat these . . .Bohrok-Kal things."
"That's why the others are out looking for the symbol thieves, so that we can get our powers back but, if all else fails, we could use your Light power."
"I guess you're right but, every time I use it I feel tired afterward and sleep for days. Anyway, how come you're not searching? Wouldn't it be better to search with your speed?"
"That's what I said but nooooo, Tahu said wouldn't let me go. They were gonna be searching underground so Onua's strength and sight in the dark were better choices to him."
"Oh. Well anyway, speaking of being asleep for days, I haven't eaten in days. I'm hungry!" Lewa whined. Pohatu chuckled.
"Fine then, let's go get you some food." Pohatu helped Lewa off the bed and they went to find something to eat.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"Kongu, quickly, go back to Le-Koro and tell Pohatu to get over here fast! We'll hold them off as long as we can!" Tahu ordered the Le-Matoran.
"Yes Sir Toa Tahu! I'll quickfly and get Toa Pohatu!" Kongu replied and lead his Kahu out of the underground caverns and to the surface. He then hopped onto his bird and took off for his village. Upon arriving he found Pohatu and Lewa enjoying a freshly cooked meal.
"Toa Pohatu! Toa Lewa! Come quickly! The other Toa Nuva are in trouble bad and need your help!" Kongu exclaimed.
"The others are in trouble? Come on Lewa, lets go!" Pohatu grabbed Lewa's arm and dragged him to the launch pad where Kongu's Kahu bird was waiting. The Matoran jumped onto his bird and Pohatu got on back.
"Are you sure you'll be able to fly Lewa? There's enough room for another." Pohatu said.
"Naw, I'll just glide and use my Miru to keep me in the air." Lewa replied. Kongu took off and Lewa followed. Soon they had made it to a rock formation with a cave opening in the center of it. Kongu landed his bird in front of the opening.
"They're in darkwet cave. Go forwardstraight and they'll be there." Kongu said.
"Thank you little one. Gone on back to Le-Koro, we'll take it from here." Pohatu said.
"Good luck Toa Lewa and Toa Pohatu." Kongu then fled the scene. After Pohatu waved goodbye he joined Lewa in front of the cave. He looked into the Toa of air's eyes and saw that they were glazed over.
"Are you okay Lewa?" Poahtu asked.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm okay. Come on, let's go save the others." Lewa took off running and Pohatu followed worried about his young friend. As they traveled through the tunnel it opened up into a giant cavern where they found the others all badly injured. Tahu was face down on the rock floor and couldn't move, Gali and Kopaka were both out cold slightly buried under some rubble, and Onua was covering his ears trying to block out a horrible screeching sound that filled the area.
"Onua!" Lewa ran and tackled the white Bohrok-Kal to the ground while Pohatu checked to see if Onua was all right.
"I'm fine. Go help Lewa, he can't take that thing alone." Onua said.
"Right." Pohatu turned to the two that were fighting and joined in. Lewa was inside a dome of the same screeching sound Onua had heard but it acted like a force field so that he couldn't get out of it. He sat on his knees pressing his hands to his ears trying to stop the sound. Pohatu hurriedly picked up the white Bohrok-Kal and kicked it as hard as he could. The Kal went flying into a wall of the cave and was buried under the rubble the impact caused.
"Lewa are you okay?" Pohatu asked as he helped Lewa to his feet.
"I'm fine . . .Pohatu look out!" the red Bohrok-Kal shot a beam of electrical energy and it hit Pohatu head-on. The brown Toa yelled in pain as the energy rippled through his body. Lewa quickly ran up to the red Kal, lifted him with his Miru, and jump kicked him, effectively sending him flying into the blue Kal and knocking them both out. Pohatu fell to his knees exhausted.
"You okay?" Lewa asked. Pohatu nodded and stood while Lewa helped support him.
"You dare to get in our way? We do not have time to play games with weaklings such as yourselves." The black Kal spoke.
"Weak?! The Toa Nuva are not weak!" Lewa exclaimed. "We just beat three of you!"
"Only because you caught them by surprise. If it were a real fight, you'd surly lose." The black Kal replied.
"Well then, can you handle my techniques?!" Lewa left Pohatu and charged the Bohrok-Kal. He brought his katanas down but the Kal blocked with his shields. Lewa kept slashing but all his attacks kept getting blocked. The green Toa then aimed a slash at the Kal's foot and it connected. The black Kal hissed in pain.
"You're pretty good. What's your name?"
"I am Lewa, Toa Nuva of air."
"Well then Lewa, it looks like I'm gonna have to use my full powers on you like I did to your leader." The Kal held his shields in front of him and they started glowing with dark energy. Lewa suddenly felt really heavy and was slammed into the floor. The Kal limped up to him.
"We have to continue our search for our queens now but here's a parting gift. Lehvak-Kal, do your thing." The Kal began to walk away but not before the green one raised it's pincers. All the air was sucked from the area and a giant explosion followed causing the cavern to collapse around him and the others. Lewa saw the Bohrok-Kal disappear down the tunnel. He tired to get up but before he could get off the ground a stalactite came crashing down on top of him and he fell into darkness.
