"True Feelings"
By: Green Devil
Ch.4 "Battle for Innocence"
"Lewa!!" Kopaka turned fiery ice blue eyes on Likuta, readied his new staff, and attacked.
"Ha! Come and get me." Likuta threw Lewa to Ikuta and parried Kopaka's strikes with his magma sword.
"Onua, take Lewa and get out of here!" the ice Toa ordered as he blocked a few blows with his shield.
"And how do you expect him to do that?" Ikuta asked, holding Lewa's arms tightly behind his back.
"So much for sneaking in and out unnoticed." Onua muttered. "Don't worry, I will!" He then called back and dug into the ground disappearing from view soon after.
"What? You're gonna try to pull me under?" Ikuta asked and jumped away from where he had been standing just as the dirt and rock floor caved in and Onua appeared again. As this happened, an incredible iciness filled the air.
"W-what's g-g-going on?" Lewa stuttered as he was chilled to the core. He chanced a glance at his ice Toa and smirked as he saw that the white dragon, which was part of Kopaka's staff, was glowing and causing everything to turn to ice around it. Likuta quickly backed away from the forming ice and growled in anger.
"Don't be scared Likuta, it's just ice." Kopaka chuckled, his eyes glowing white as he channeled his power into his staff.
"He's right brother! Remember, when it's fire verses ice, fire always wins." Ikuta called.
"You're right. Well then," Likuta was then covered in flames, "lets just see how ice really fares against fire!" he laughed and melted the frozen water around him.
Kopaka's eyes stopped glowing and he smirked. "Even if you can counter my element, I can still beat you."
"Then lets see you try." Likuta laughed and ran at the ice Toa; his body still surrounded by flames. Kopaka put up his shield to block the incoming attacks, but there were none. He looked around and was hit from behind by Likuta's tail.
Kopaka stumbled slightly and glared at the creature. "So, you've sunk to using cheap tricks to win now? I thought you were better than that."
"It's not a cheap trick, its called skill. And don't think you can get me with all that better fighter crap. I do whatever it takes to win." Likuta replied, his flames dyeing out.
Kopaka growled at the other's arrogance and had his dragon staff replaced by his double-sided sword since it would be able to inflict more damage. "Then lets really start this fight."
"Fine by me. Hyah!"
"Lewa, are you okay?" Onua asked as he hugged the younger Toa tightly. He had managed to get Lewa away from Ikuta, for the time being.
"I'm fine Onua, don't worry. Right now we have to help Kopaka." Lewa stated, fear and worry evident in his eyes.
"No, we can't. Kopaka wanted me to get you to safety and that's what I'm gonna do." Onua replied calmly.
"But Onua, we can't just leave him!"
"Please Lewa, don't make me the bad guy here. I promised Kopaka and myself that I wouldn't let anything happen to you."
"Onua . . ." the green Toa embraced the other gently and whispered softly, "I'm sorry." He quickly kneed the black Toa's stomach causing Onua to slump forward unconscious.
Lewa laid Onua down gently, placing a kiss on his forehead, and began running through the tunnel the older Toa had dug. Once he reached the opening he climbed out and surveyed the area. Ikuta was beginning to wake after being knocked out by a pile of boulders falling on top of him while Kopaka and Likuta were still fighting.
'Damn! If Ikuta wakes up now, I'll never get to Kopaka. What am I going to do?' Lewa thought worriedly. Ikuta began to push the boulders off of him, it was certain that he was awake now. The green Toa decided that the best thing he could do was take cover and wait for the right moment to attack.
"Likuta! Where are they?! Where'd they go?!" Ikuta yelled as he threw the last boulder off of him.
"I'm kind of busy here!" Likuta called back. He then thrust his Vorahk-like weapon at Kopaka, but the ice Toa dodged and kicked it away. "You're messing me up!"
"Well fine then! I'll find them myself." Ikuta replied, mumbling the last part to himself. He looked around cautiously seeing nothing at first, but when he did a double take he saw something move in the shadows to his left. 'Ah ha! There you are.' Ikuta thought and slowly, quietly, walked over.
Lewa gasped but quickly covered his mouth, silently cursing. After calming his racing heart, the Toa of air carefully predicted where Ikuta was, using the air around him as a guide, and sidestepped out of the way when the creature looked towards him. He then jumped to the top of a boulder where he could clearly see the creature.
'If this doesn't work, I'm dead.' Lewa thought grimly. He readied the hilt of his sword for a blow to Ikuta's head, took a deep breath, and willed the air around him to disperse so that he could fall faster and land harder. He then jumped off the boulder, but his aim was off. The hilt of Lewa's sword hit the middle of Ikuta's upper back instead.
'No!' Lewa's mind screamed. Air surrounded him again as Ikuta let out a cry of pain. He quickly turned and reached for Lewa's neck, but stopped short and fell to the ground unconscious.
Lewa stood dumbfounded for a few seconds before shaking his head and running out into the open where Kopaka and Likuta were fighting. "Kopaka!" Lewa yelled as he ran.
The ice Toa blocked a downward slash from Likuta and saw Lewa running toward him out of the corner of his eye. "What?! Lewa?! I told Onua get you out of here!"
Likuta smiled at this and jumped away from Kopaka. He then switched directions and charged at Lewa instead.
"You bastard!" Kopaka charged to meet the creature and blocked the blow aimed at the green Toa just in time. "This fight is between you and me, leave Lewa out of it!"
"But if he was able to win over my brother, and your attacks haven't even fazed me, he should prove to be a more formidable opponent than you." Likuta laughed darkly. "However, if you still insist on fighting me, both of you may. Two against one is perfectly fine with me." He smirked.
Lewa looked to Kopaka, eyes pleading. The ice Toa sighed. "Fine, but will this be a fair fight from now on?"
"But Toa of ice, two against one is hardly fair already." The creature chuckled.
Kopaka sneered and kicked Likuta a few feet away while Lewa summoned his other air katana, the fight had resumed.
Kopaka stood ready to Likuta's right while Lewa was to his left. The creature figured it would be best to go after who he thought was the strongest so he turned to his left and attacked Lewa.
The air Toa quickly went on the defensive and blocked most of Likuta's attacks but couldn't seem to get in any of his own. The creature just wouldn't let himself be thrown into defensive mode.
'Kopaka's been fighting him for too long, I have to get in some attacks or this fight will never end. All I need is an opening.' Lewa thought. Likuta then faked an upward slash and switched it for a downward. Lewa was able to block it but he didn't end up in a very good position, Likuta forced him to his knees.
"I guess your lover decided to take off. So much for him being there for you." Likuta smirked as Lewa saw that indeed Kopaka had disappeared from sight. The creature then wrapped his tail around the green Toa's neck while he could do nothing but continue to push back against Likuta's magma sword.
All of a sudden Likuta gave a cry of pain and backed away clutching his tail tightly. The part of the creature's tail that was wrapped around Lewa's neck then fell to the ground and the air Toa fell forward into Kopaka's awaiting arms. The ice Toa had sliced clean through the creature's tail leaving him with only half of the appendage left.
"Are you alright Lewa?" Kopaka asked as caressed the green Toa's face gently.
"I think so, but what are we going to do about him?" Lewa gestured to the hissing Likuta.
"Don't worry, I have an idea." Kopaka's dragon staff appeared in his hand and he smirked.
"But if that staff didn't work before, how is it suppose to work now?"
"Because I have you to help me."
"Urgh! You damn Toa! I should've killed you when I had the chance!" Likuta yelled angrily. The two Toa remained quiet and stood, facing their enemy. The creature snarled.
Lewa and Kopaka looked to each other then back to Likuta as the ice Toa stuck his dragon staff into the ground. He placed his hand on the white dragon's head causing its eyes to glow while Lewa did the same to the green one. Almost instantly, a blizzard began to form and Likuta was blinded by the whiteness.
'Damnit, I can't see a thing and there's no way to melt a blizzard!' Likuta's mind screamed. His head darted from side to side as he looked for the forms of the ice and air Toa.
The creature turned to the right and a white blur attacked from his left cutting a deep gash in his upper arm. Likuta then turned to the left and a green blur attacked his right nearly cutting his leg off completely. The creature knelt on his unhurt leg, an expression of pain and surprise on his face.
'No fair, this of cheating!' Likuta couldn't hear anything over the howl of the wind and couldn't see through the blinding-ness of the snow. It was all he could do to focus his power and not allow his body to freeze.
In another part of the blizzard, two pairs of glowing white eyes watched the creature intently. Kopaka had his arms wrapped around Lewa protectively, fighting off the chill that was slowly spreading through the younger Toa. He wasn't too fond of the cold when it wasn't Kopaka.
"You ready for the finishing blow?" Kopaka whispered to Lewa. The air Toa nodded his head in response and the two broke away from each other a bit reluctantly.
Lewa silently attacked from behind and dug one of his air katanas right through Likuta's side. The creature coughed up a bit of blood but still smirked and turned, stabbing his magma sword straight through Lewa's armor. The green Toa cried out and fell backwards into the now three-inch deep snow, eyes wide and blood turning the white substance a deep red. The winds had since died down once Lewa was struck leaving only the falling snow, but soon that had stopped as well.
". . .LEWA!" Kopaka cried and ran to his fallen lover as Likuta collapsed as well. The creature watched as Kopaka knelt beside Lewa and cradled his wounded body in his arms.
"Lewa, come on, talk to me! Let me know you're still with me please!" Kopaka cried shaking the green Toa gently.
". . .KāKopaka . . .it . . .hurts . . ." Lewa coughed softly, a stray tear falling from his eye as well as a rivulet of blood running from the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry Lewa, you're going to be okay, I swear it." Kopaka placed his hand over the gap in Lewa's armor where his wound was. "This is going to be a little cold, but at least it'll stop the bleeding. You ready?"
Lewa nodded slowly and Kopaka smiled gently. The older Toa then channeled his power through his hand and soon a thin sheet of ice had covered the wound stopping the blood flow.
The air Toa shivered as the ice patched itself over his chest. He then snuggled closer to Kopaka as he was picked up off the ground by the ice Toa. Kopaka then walked over to Likuta and glared angrily at him.
"You know you haven't won right? We'll be back and with someone you know very well." Likuta chuckled through his pain.
"Oh shut up. I'm tired of listening to you talk." Kopaka dealt a hard kick to the creature's temple, effectively knocking him out.
"Kopaka . . .we have to . . .get Onua . . ." Lewa breathed out slowly.
The white Toa had almost forgotten about him. "Where is he?"
"I'm right here!" a voice yelled from behind the two.
Kopaka turned. "Onua, glad to see you're safe."
"Yeah, I am too. Though Lewa did knock me out and leave me in a dark tunnel by myself." Lewa smiled sheepishly, his eyes dimming from the tiredness he felt.
"Well at least you're okay. Now lets get out of here, Lewa was badly wounded and needs treatment." Onua nodded in agreement and they ran out the way they had come in.
Once outside Onua remembered something. "Kopaka, wait! I'm gonna cave in the place." The black Toa called out. Kopaka watched as the other knelt down placing his hands on the ground. There was a slight pulsation before a great rumbling sound erupted from inside the Kini Nui.
The earth Toa stood. "Okay, lets go."
"What's going on? What was that noise?" Lewa asked. He had fallen asleep but the rumbling had woke him up.
Kopaka wiped the blood from Lewa's face. "It's nothing. Onua was just sealing the Kini Nui."
The green Toa smiled. "Kopaka . . .I love you."
The ice Toa was a bit caught off guard. He wasn't expecting Lewa to say that, however, he hugged Lewa close and whispered, "I love you too." The two smiled and shared a kiss as Onua walked up beside them.
"Ready to go you two?" the black Toa asked smirking.
Kopaka broke away from Lewa. "Yeah, come on." He replied happily and the three started on their way back to Le-Koro, the ice and air Toa glad that they could finally share their true feelings.
Owari
A/N: Well, there you have it everyone, the end. I hope you all enjoyed it and you know, I might write a sequel if you all want me to. What did Likuta mean by he'll be back with someone they knew? Well, there's a good chance you'll never know unless I write more, or you guess it. Now I would just like you thank each and every one of you for R&R-ing this fic. You have all made me so very happy. I love you all so much! XD!
And now I'm just gonna answer a question someone asked me, they didn't leave a name:
"Alright which do you belive in
1. kopaka lewa
2. kopaka tahu
3. lewa onua
and who does Gali go with?"
Well, to tell you the truth, I like all three of them. Actually, I'll read any yaoi/slash/shounen-ai with Lewa as the uke. Tahu/Kopaka is okay too, though it's better when Kopaka is the uke of that relationship, too me anyway. As for Gali, I'd rather her go with Pohatu, if she had to be with someone, just because I wouldn't want her to be with any of the other guys. Onua/Lewa is my absolute favorite though.
Sorry about the long explanation. Anyway, please leave a review and maybe I'll start the sequel sometime this year. Lol. See ya!
