"True Feelings"

By: Green Devil

Ch.3 "Staff of Dragons"

Kopaka slowly reached out a hand to grab a piece of the broken ice flower as tears threatened to spill from his eyes. Shadows and figures were crowding around him and others were running off to other places. His vision was blurred from his dizziness and the tears; he could only make out various shades of green, which only made him feel worse.

"Lewa . . ." he mumbled sadly, and fell unconscious.

The ice Toa awoke a day later in a white hut that seemed very familiar. He sat up and found that he was in a bed, his bed. 'I'm back in Ko-Koro? But . . .why?' he rushed out of his hut and into the snowy village that was his home.

Kopaka snarled. 'Why'd they bring me back here?! I have to—Huh?' the Toa had clenched his fist and heard something crack. He opened his hand to see half of the ice flower he had given Lewa. It was stained red with blood though it wasn't Kopaka's; it was Lewa's.

'Lewa . . .I gotta find him before they hurt him anymore than he already is.' Kopaka turned to leave down the mountain but was stopped by a voice.

"Toa Kopaka, where are you going?" a matoran asked as he walked over.

"I have to find Lewa, he needs me."

"But wait!"

"What is it Dar*?"

"I was told to give this to you?" the matoran, Dar, held out something wrapped in a white silk cloth.

"What is it?" Kopaka asked as he took the thing from the matoran, surprised by the weight of the object.

"Uh, a new weapon I believe."

"New weapon?" Kopaka quickly unwrapped the cloth and gasped. In his hands he held a beautiful staff. It was carved in the likeness of two mechanical dragons entwined with one another, the hilt straight while at the top the two swirled away from each other before ending as both of their heads, faces set in snarls. One dragon was white crystal while the other was of jade. In one of the white dragon's two clawed hands it held a giant white pearl that oddly glowed a faint green color. The Toa of ice was so amazed by the sheer beauty of the weapon he almost forgot to ask what it was and what it did, though he didn't get much of an answer either way.

"I have no idea what it does but I do know that it's called 'The Staff of Dragons'. I was just asked to give it to you, so I did."

"Who asked you?"

"Nuju. He said to take it and use it to save your lover. You won't be able to without it." Dar explained.

'I won't be able to save Lewa without it? But . . .' Kopaka thought and looked to the direction on Onu-Koro. "Dar, where has Onua been taken?"

"Toa Onua was taken back to his village to recover from his wounds. He was pretty messed up."

"I'm off then." Kopaka began to walk to the underground village, new weapon in hand.

"Good luck Toa Kopaka!" Dar called as he waved to his village Toa. The ice Toa only nodded and continued on his way.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

"K—Kopaka?. . .W—what's going on? Where's Lewa?" Onua questioned weakly from his bed.

"They didn't tell you?" Kopaka asked.

"No . . ." Onua was worried now.

". . ." the ice Toa sighed. ". . .Lewa's . . .gone . . ." he answered sadly.

"G . . .gone? But . . .No!" Onua stood from his mattress. "He can't be gone! Those monsters can't . . ." he sank to his knees as tears began to spill from his eyes.

Kopaka's eyes glazed over but he quickly wiped away his tears and walked over to the earth Toa. "Don't worry Onua. I'm gonna get him back no matter what."

"But how? We couldn't defeat them last time, how are you going to now?"

"With this." Kopaka pulled out his new staff and showed it to the other Toa.

"Wow! That thing sure does look powerful but . . .do you even know how to use it?"

"Well . . .maybe . . .kinda . . .sorta . . .uh . . .no." the ice Toa sighed. "I wasn't really given much information on it other than it was powerful enough to help me defeat Likuta and Ikuta."

"Oh . . ." Onua traced a hand over the spiraling mythical beasts and thought of something. "Hey Kopaka, do you think these two dragons could represent something?"

"Like what?"

"Well, maybe they represent you and Lewa. You know, Lewa's the green one and you're the white? You love each other and the dragons are both entwined?"

"Maybe . . ." Kopaka stared at the staff. 'But this thing seems like it was made thousands of years ago . . .Could all of this have been predicted beforehand?' he thought and traced the jade dragon's head, a smile coming to his lips. 'Lewa . . .'

"Hellooo! Kopaka?! Are you listening to me?"

"Oh! Uh, yes, of course I am!"

"Good. So as I was saying, we should start looking for Lewa immediately."

"We? Who's we?"

"Me and you, duh!"

"Oh no, you're not going. I'm going to do this on my own. I don't want to risk anyone getting hurt again."

"But Kopaka, please!? I have to go! Lewa's my best friend! I couldn't stand it if anything happened to him when I knew I could do something!"

"You're still hurt Onua, you need to rest."

"Then why'd you come here then if you were gonna leave by yourself either way?"

"B—because . . .I don't know. I just felt like I had to come here."

"Exactly! You felt like you had to come here to get me! Please let me go with you Kopaka!" Onua pleaded.

"Ugh. You're just like Lewa you know that? Fine, you can come but we're leaving early tomorrow morning."

"Alright! Thanks Kopaka."

"Yeah, yeah. Now get back in bed. You still need to rest." Kopaka helped Onua to his feet and into his bed. The ice Toa then left the room closing the door silently.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

"Ugh . . .Where am I . . .? Kopaka? Where are you . . .? Onua?. . .Where is everybody . . .?" Lewa wondered out loud. He made to sit up but quickly laid back down as a jolt of pain shot through his chest. "Ow. That hurt." Lewa reached a hand to his chest gingerly and pulled it away to find a red sticky substance on his fingers. "I'm still bleeding? Then, shouldn't I be dead by now?"

"You're only bleeding now because you reopened your wound by sitting up like that." A voice called from the doorway.

Lewa narrowed his lime green eyes and gently propped himself up on his elbows. "You don't talk to me. Leave me alone." The Toa snarled at the creature standing in the doorway. Likuta smirked and walked over to Lewa, his tail swishing from side to side.

"What did I just say?" Lewa questioned as Likuta stopped next to the bed and knelt down.

"I don't know, what did you just say?"

"Ugh!" Lewa dropped back onto the bed and rolled onto his side, back facing the creature.

"Aww. What's wrong little Toa? Miss your lover?"

"So what if I do? It's not like you'll do anything about it. You'd just go out and kill him, leaving me to suffer the pain of having him . . .dead." tears began to spill from Lewa's eyes. He wanted so badly to just kill Likuta and leave but he knew he wouldn't be able to in his condition. Ikuta was a variable in his escape as well. If he somehow managed to get past Likuta, his brother would be there to take his place.

"Oh, I would never do that. I'd never want you to be sad."

"Liar."

"Yeah."

The next few moments were spent in silence, Lewa still facing the wall and Likuta sitting on the floor facing the opposite wall. The green Toa began to fall back asleep, his eyes slowly drifting shut and his breathing slowing. Soon he was sleeping peacefully in the bed allowing his wounds to begin healing again.

"Hey Likuta! Is he—"

"Shh! He was but he fell back asleep." Likuta shushed his older brother as he walked into the room.

"What'd you let him fall back asleep for? I thought we were gonna use him."

"Well he has to be at full strength or his power won't be enough. Give him a few more days, then we'll destroy this island."

"Hmm. Alright then, but don't get too attached. Remember what happened last time?"

"Yeah, yeah." Likuta waved his hand in a bored manner and Ikuta walked out of the room leaving his brother and the sleeping Toa alone again.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

"Let go of me!" Lewa yelled as he pounded on Likuta's back. He was slung across the other's shoulder and was being taken back to his room after trying to run away for the fifth time since he got there.

"You stay here and be good." Likuta dropped Lewa on the floor of his room and walked out. Lewa growled and crossed his arms over his chest. He listened as the door shut but surprisingly didn't hear it lock.

"Huh?" he walked over to the entryway and quietly opened the door a bit. "This better not be a trick or something." He peered into the dark corridor and heard the voices of the two brothers, Ikuta and Likuta.

"He's tried to escape five times already. Don't you think he's strong enough to power the . . .thingie . . .thing . . .?" Likuta's voice sounded.

"The Purifier." Ikuta replied.

"Yeah that one. I think he should be strong enough to power it by now."

"Maybe . . .Hmm . . .Well, I guess we can use him now."

"Good. I say the sooner we destroy this island the better. I'm getting sick of all the changing climates."

"If you wanna leave so badly, go get him and we'll start right now."

"Sounds good to me."

Lewa gasped but quickly covered his mouth.

"What was that?" Ikuta asked.

"He probably escaped again. I'll go check." Likuta walked to the entrance of the room and saw a green figure hastily run by him. "Hey! Get back here!" Likuta began to chase the Toa.

Lewa ran as fast as he could through the hall. It was just a straightaway to the exit so it all came down to who was the fastest, and Likuta won that battle hands down. He grabbed the air Toa and slung him over his right shoulder.

"Let me go damn it! Put me down!!" Lewa yelled as he pounded his fists down on Likuta's back.

"No can do, you've been a bad boy. This is the SIXTH time you've tried to run away, it's time for you to be punished." Likuta grinned. Lewa gasped and his eyes widened.

"No! Leave me alone! Please!" Lewa cried and struggled more but only earned a slap from Likuta's tail.

"I'm getting sick and tired of your whining! Now, you're gonna help us destroy this island whether you like it or not. Got it?"

Lewa's eyes brimmed with tears. "I can't destroy my island, this is my home, I can't destroy it. I won't!" The Toa of air summoned a strong gust of air to knock the creature off balance and release his hold on him. He then took off running back towards the exit . . .but was stopped by Ikuta.

"And just where do you think you're going?" Ikuta asked as he held one of Lewa's wrists tightly in his hand.

"Ungh! Let go! I won't help you to destroy this island! There's no way!"

"Oh but there is, and I'll prove it." Ikuta raised his hand and brought it down over Lewa's head heavily, knocking him unconscious.

"Was that really necessary? We do need him to be awake you know." Likuta said as he walked over to the two.

"It was the only way to get him to come quietly. We'll just take him there then wait for him to wake up. It'd be better if he didn't put up a fight."

"True. Come on then." Likuta turned and began back down the tunnel followed by Ikuta carrying Lewa.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

"Onua, are you coming or not?!" Kopaka asked from the doorway irritably.

"Hold on, I just have to get the last of this stuff." Onua replied as he stuffed some things into a bag.

"Well hurry it up! We don't have much time." Kopaka turned to look at the horizon as the sun slowly sank into the sea and sighed sadly.

Onua ran over to the ice Toa. "Okay, I'm ready. Lets go!"

Kopaka nodded and they set out to search for the missing Toa of air. 'Don't worry Lewa, I swear we'll find you before they hurt you.'

Kopaka had been informed a little while earlier that two creatures resembling Rahkshi had been seen headed toward the Kini Nui. Kopaka had guessed that that was where Likuta and Ikuta were hiding and where they'd find Lewa so he prepared to set out immediately.

Onua hadn't fully healed from his major wounds, the gash on his side still pained him though he wouldn't show it, but he still insisted on going with the ice Toa. He really wanted to help Lewa.

After taking the Onu-Koro tunnel to Le-Koro's forest, the two went straight to the path that would lead them to the Kini Nui. It took them about half an hour to get to the shrine and when they did they were able to get in without a hitch.

"Can you hear anything Onua?"

"Yeah. There are voices coming from down there and one of them is definitely Lewa." The black Toa answered.

"Okay then. Lets get down there and steal Lewa away from them when they're not looking, then get out of here as fast as we can. Got it?" Kopaka said.

"We're not gonna fight them?" Onua asked surprised.

"You're in no shape to fight, Lewa's probably in the same condition, and there's no way I can take both of those two creatures."

"True."

Kopaka glared at Onua. "Come on." Onua nodded and followed Kopaka down the tunnel listening intently to the conversation going on at the end of the tunnel.

"Hurry it up Likuta! We're gonna miss our chance if you don't strap him down already!" Ikuta exclaimed.

"Well maybe if you helped out a little, I wouldn't be having so much of a problem!" Likuta growled.

"Oh please! You're telling me that a puny little Toa of air is too much for you? Ha! If he's like this now, I wonder what it'd have been like if you had got him in bed!" Ikuta laughed.

"Shut up Ikuta!" Likuta looked to the struggling Lewa in his arms. "And you, behave!"

"Leave me alone damnit! I don't want anything to do with you two! Let go!" Lewa cried as he tried to free himself from the creature's grip.

"Uh, how bout no. Now stay still!" Likuta slammed Lewa against the wall causing the Toa to cry out in pain.

"So much for him recovering his power." Ikuta sighed.

"Leave him alone!" a voice yelled from the darkness.

"What?!" the two creatures turned and came face to face with Kopaka and Onua, both of whom were very angry.

"Kopaka! Onua!" Lewa whispered happily but winced as Likuta tightened his grip on his neck and struggled for breath.

"Lewa!!" Kopaka turned fiery ice blue eyes on Likuta, readied his new staff, and attacked.

A/N: Damn this chap took a while. Sorry bout that, but at least it was a lot longer. I've had to do so many essays, reports, and projects I've hardly had any time to write/type my own things. Stupid high school. Um . . .anyway . . .

X~X~X~X (Time to play with fire! XD)

Ugh, again with the brother thing. Look TakanCD. I do not like/agree with the fact that Lego made the Toa call each other brother and sister when the movie came out. When I first got into Bionicle, they were not related in any way other than that they were all Toa. I really don't like all that brother crap cause that's all they call each other. What's the point in giving them names if all they're gonna call each other is brother and sister you know? ^_^

Also, to Jim (V.R. Boy), when the hell did I ever say Kopaka and Lewa were girls? Please, answer me this. If I did accidentally put 'she' or 'her' somewhere, I'll gladly correct it. And you know, it's a pretty stupid reason to think a story it stupid just because it has yaoi in it. ^_^

I now only have one more thing to say to you both, if you don't like it, don't read it. XP But thank you for the wonderful flames.

X~X~X~X

Damn I'm good at arguing. I should be a lawyer. Wee! It's so fun to play with fire! XD! Well, hope you liked! Please review! ^_^!
