Hey there, potential readers. I haven't started a story in so long it's crazy… Well, before we get on with the story, I have to let you all know that this story contains yaoi (aka slash, shonen-ai) which in plain English is boy/boy romance. You have been warned. Any flames shall be used to roast marshmallows or other such delicacies. And if I feel the need I shall respond to your flames. Also, this story's rated R for future violence. Well, that and the yaoi.
Also, also (wic, lol, Monty Python joke there) this story takes place with my human-esque Toa and characters and such… I'll link you to pictures of the characters as they show up in the story. ^^
*twitch twitch* well, I can't seem to figure out how to put a link in the bloody story, so y'all'll have to go through the link I put in the reviews…
I would like to dedicate this chapter to Koolsnowball, who is always telling me, "Write Dammit!"
Chapter One.
Flt.
Leaves fell to the ground in the clearing. The tall warrior whirled around to face the place where the sound came from.
"Too slow!" called a voice just before the warrior was knocked to the ground and pinned.
"One," said another voice calmly from one side, "two." The pinned warrior struggled fiercely until the voice said with finality, "three."
"Arg! You beat me!" the pinned warrior complained as his attacker got off him.
"Wow! Lewa, you've sure improved!" Onua said as he thumped Lewa on the back.
"Ach!" exclaimed Lewa as he fell to the ground, knocking down Tahu again.
"Whoops," was Onua's comment as the two Toa clambered to their feet.
"That was sweet though Lewa," was Pohatu's comment as he put his arm around Lewa's neck and proceeded to noogie him.
"Gyaah!" Lewa complained, struggling to free himself.
The other Toa laughed, all except for the one who had counted Tahu down. Kopaka stood on the edge of the clearing and watched as the other Toa fooled around.
The white Toa sighed, "I thought we were supposed to be training," he muttered.
"Oh lighten up Kopaka," Gali said, "A little fun now and then might do you some good."
"Whoop-dee-doo, Lewa kicked Tahu's ass, let's throw a party," Kopaka said sarcastically.
Gali sighed, rolled her eyes, and walked away from the icy Toa, "Men," she muttered, "I'll never understand them."
"This is a waste of time," Kopaka muttered, turning away from the clearing and walking off towards Ko-Koro.
* ^ * ^ * ^ * ^ *
Kopaka crunched through the snow near the base of Mount Ihu, looking more at his feet than where he was going. He couldn't get the image of the Toa crowded around Lewa congratulating him, out of his head. He shook his head, "What's wrong with me?" he muttered.
A rumbling brought Kopaka's attention up from his feet to the side of the mountain. "Shit," he muttered, "avalanche. Just what I don't want." Removing his sword from its sheath he pointed it in the direction of the avalanche. Taking a deep breath the Toa of Ice pushed power through his sword. The avalanche slowly split in front of him, sliding to either side. A small smile came to his face as the snow and ice rushed past him. When the avalanche had finally passed by him Kopaka replaced his sword back in its sheath with a shk and continued his journey up the mountain.
Suddenly he stopped, looking to his right. Kopaka was staring at a cave.
"That wasn't there this morning," he murmured, changing his course and heading for the cave.
Reaching it, the white Toa again took his sword in hand, but this time he also took his shield in his left. Taking a deep breath Kopaka stepped into the cave. He paused just inside the entrance to allow his eyes to adjust.
Kopaka stepped further inside, holding his shield in front of him and going slowly. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Kopaka entered a huge, dimly lit space.
Tooooa. Kopaka looked around quickly, going into a defensive position.
"Who's there?" he demanded.
Tooooa.
"Who is it!"
Koooopaaaakaaaa.
"Who are you!" the Toa yelled again.
We aaaare what we aaaare. Shadowy figures appeared at the back of the cave.
Kopaka frowned, taking a step forward, "What do you want?" he asked.
We waaaant to heeeelp.
Kopaka took another step, "Help who?" he asked suspiciously.
Heeeelp our Maaaaster. Maaaakuuuutaaaa impriiiisoned us heeeere. Loooong agooo.
"Makutua?" Kopaka exclaimed.
Yeeees.
"Why would Makuta do that?" he pondered, taking another step forward.
Weeee endaaaangered his plaaaans.
Kopaka now stood about three bios away from the six shadowy shapes, "So you were the heroes before the Toa?"
You couuuuld say thaaaat.
Kopaka paused for a moment, regarding the shadows; "Can I free you?"
Juuuust take another steeeep.
Kopaka took a breath and took another step forward.
His hair was blown away from his face and he nearly had to take a step backwards to maintain his balance as six black shapes hurtled by him.
Thaaaank yoooou, guuuulable foooool.
"What!" exclaimed Kopaka.
And noooow we kiiiil you.
Kopaka raised his shield in defense, just before the shadows ran into it, sending him crashing to the ground and into unconsciousness.
