Chapter 11: Battle in the Mangaia

The Makuta laughed as he saw the two Toa Nuva lying before him.

"I've been observing your quest for the gems and I must say I'm impressed," said Makuta.

" Makuta, what do want?" said Takanuva, "why did you make those barriers to keep us from leaving?"

"I'm glad you asked, I want two things from you Toa," said Makuta, "first I want you to die Takanuva and second I want you to join me Toa of Shadow."

"What?!" yelled the two Toa.

"I see you don't like this idea," said the dark spirit.

"I can understand you wanting Takanuva dead, but I do you want me?" asked Jakanuva.

"Isn't it obvious, you are like me, you have power of shadow, and you would make the perfect apprentice," said Makuta.

"First of all I would never join a psychopathic, nut case like you," said Jakanuva, "and second I may have the power of shadow but that doesn't mean I'm anything like you!"

"I see you have made your decision, said Makuta, "and therefore you must die!"

Then Makuta unleashed a devastating energy blast, knocking both Toa to the floor.

(meanwhile on the surface)

"And then I returned here," said Tahu

"This is serious," said Gali with concern in her voice, "we must find a way to get our brothers out of the Mangaia."

"You truthspeek very well sister," said Lewa, "but who of us should goleave to the Mangaia.

"I suggest myself, Onua, and Pohatu," said Tahu.

And with that they left for the Mangaia.

(meanwhile in the Mangaia)

The two Toa Nuva were fighting hard but losing. Every time they attacked, Makuta just brushed off their attacks like they were nothing.

"No matter what we do it has no effect," said Takanuva while panting for breath.

"We have to get the gem away from him, you distract him while I try to take it," said Jakanuva as he used the power of his mask to travel through the shadows.

This was the first time Takanuva had seen the power of Jakanuva's mask and was surprised to see his brother sink into the shadows like when Gali goes into the water. But he did as his brother said and attacked Makuta with all the power in his mask. Makuta fired a great blast of dark energy to counter the light blast. Jakanuva could see the gem from the strange shadow world he was in. He jumped back into the real world trying to grab the gem but was stopped by a Darkness Rahkshi.

"What the hell!!" yelled Jakanuva before the Rahkshi threw him to the ground.

The Rahkshi was tall and deadly, it had a black head, spine, shoulders, and knees; and it had red hands, hips, and feet. Also the Rahkshi carried a staff similar to Makuta's.

"You really thought you could steal the gem?" said Makuta, "now my Rahkshi, destroy him."

The Rahkshi attacked full force only to strike nothing, Jakanuva had dove into the shadows and reappeared behind the creature. And then Jakanuva sliced the creatures back open and ripped out its Kraata, causing the creature to fall to the ground.

"How did you know where to strike my Rahkshi!" shouted Makuta.

"You'd be surprised what I know about this world," answered Jakanuva.

"You have been able to stop my Rahkshi but you can't stop me," and with that Makuta summoned a shadow cage from his mask and trapped Jakanuva inside. "I'll deal with you later," said Makuta, "now where were we Takanuva."

Before Takanuva could even attack, Makuta rammed his head into the wall with his huge hand.

"Damn, even though I control shadow I can't break this cage," yelled Jakanuva in frustration.

Takanuva was barley able to hear the screams of his brother though the shadow cage, but he heard enough to give him an idea. Using his hand he launched a ball of light at the cage, this didn't break the cage but made an opining giving Jakanuva time to escape.

"You miserable little Toa, you'll pay for that!" shouted Makuta as he tightened his grip on Takanuva's head.

Takanuva started to slip into unconsciousness when he fell to the floor. He looked up to see that Jakanuva had stabbed Makuta in the back with his scythe.

"You know Makuta you should never turn your back on an opponent," said Jakanuva, "now Makuta tell us how you are controlling the swarms?"

"You fools," said Makuta angrily, "I'm not the one who is controlling the Bohrok."

"Then who is?!" asked Takanuva.

"Wouldn't you like to know," said Makuta with a sinister grin, and then all of a sudden Makuta vanished in a cloud of darkness.

All of a sudden the room started shaking and crumbling like there was a massive earthquake.

"What's happening? asked the two Toa.

Just then Onua, Pohatu, and Tahu came out of the ground.

"Are you two okay?" asked Pohatu.

"Yes, but we almost didn't make it," said Takanuva.

"We can discuss this later," said Tahu, "right now we need to get out of this dark place."

The other Toa nodded and left once Jakanuva retrieved the gem and they got to the Ussanui and Basanui.

(later at Ga-Koro)

"…and that's how we beat Makuta," said Takanuva and Jakanuva as they finished telling their story to the village.

"It seems those two are becoming a good team," said Tahu.

"Yes, I'm surprised that light and shadow make such a good team," said Gali.

"I'm not," said Kaltaku.

The other Toa looked at him like he was crazy.

"I guess I should explain," said the Toa of lighting, "in our world in the Asian philosophy there is a thing called yin-yang which basically represents the balance of light and dark. So I believe Takanuva represents yin and Jakanuva is yang. When both of them are together they balance light and dark, and make the perfect team. At least I think that's how it works."

"Thanks for the lesson but that doesn't help our new problem," said Kopaka, "if Makuta wasn't controlling the swarms we have to find out who is.

Damn, Damn, Damn, how can these Toa beat me at every turn that is it. Tahnok-Kal I have freed you from your electric prison to try to destroy these Toa.

It is an honor my Queen, but I ask one favor of you.

And what is that.

I want the head of Kaltaku for there must only be one warrior of electricity.

Looks like a new problem has arisen in this quest. Kaltaku better be ready cause he's going to have a fight on his hands.
