Toa Leehar
The Toa stared surprised at the Toa in front of them. These Toa looked exactly like them! Well, not really, but they wore their same Kanohi. The other Toa looked back at them just as confused, but less surprised. The red one, probably some Toa of Fire, looked at the Turaga as if expecting some explanation, but the Turaga were too busy talking to each other, and it looked as if they had forgotten completely about the Toa. Finally, the other Toa of Fire let out a small cough to attract attention. Turaga Lhikan turned to him.
"Sorry," he said, "But meeting these old friends made me forget about you."
"It's all right Turaga," said the other Toa of Fire. "But I would like to know who these...Toa are"
Tahu felt a burst of anger as the other Toa said the last few words, it sounded as if he couldn't believe that they were Toa too.
Vakama smiled, "They are the heroes of Mata Nui, our protectors."
"Ah-ha" commented the red Toa. Tahu felt more anger rise into him.
"They have done great things," added Nokama. "And Takanuva, the Toa of Light, defeated the Makuta."
The red Toa looked over to Takanuva and studied him from head to foot, then he turned to Lhikan.
"What's this Turaga? I've already heard about a seventh Toa, but I also heard that he was going to be originary of Metru Nui."
"He is," answered Vakama. "He was a matoran before, his name was Takua."
The Toa's eyes widened with surprise, he had obviously already heard about Takua the chronicler.
"Who? That crazy chronicler that... ow!"
Takanuva turned around to see who had talked, it had been the other Toa of Air. Apparently, the other Toa of Ice next to him had kicked his leg. Takanuva smiled at the other green Toa.
"Yes, that's me."
The other Toa of Fire raised an eyebrow, than he turned to look straight at Tahu. Or better, to look down at Tahu, for he was a good head taller than him.
"I'm Uhat, the leader of this group. We've heard about your adventures, but we expected someone more... powerful." he said, Tahu could barely control his anger now. He raised his head and stared straight into Uhat's eyes, trying to make it clear that he was not weak.
"I'm Tahu" he said.
"Are you the leader?"
"Yes, I am," growled Tahu, fighting the urge to make a poisonous comment. "And I suppose you are too."
Uhat ignored what Tahu had said and kept staring down at him, his red eyes flashing fiercely, hoping to intimidate Tahu. The red Toa just kept staring at him, without breaking the eye-contact for a second. They stayed like that for a while, studying each other's weaknesses and strengths. The Turaga kept looking first at Tahu, then at Uhat, unsure about what to do. Finally, Lhikan cleared his throat and the two Toa turned around to look at him.
"Now, it's clear that you're all confused. But, since we can't throw anyone off the island..."
"Why not?" interrupted the other Toa of Stone. "We are stronger than them, look."
With that he grabbed Gali and raised her over his head.
"Hey!" protested Gali, twisting and writhing to get free. The Toa laughed.
"Put her down!" shouted Tahu. Pohatu and Onua stepped towards the Toa.
"Utahop..." started Lhikan, Utahop ignored him.
"You want me to put her down? Fine!" he said, then he made a gesture as if to throw her out of one of the windows, Onua, Pohatu and Tahu froze. Gali managed to kick one of Utahop's arms. He merely laughed.
"Kinda twichy, are you?" he said, turning up to Gali. Then he froze seeing the water sphere that had appeared over his head.
"Have a nice shower." hissed Gali, then she let the sphere fall on his head.
Utahop let her fall down and started brushing water out of his eyes. More laugher sounded, this time from Gali's brothers. Tahu helped Gali up and pulled her away from Utahop, who had gotten rid of all the water and was staring at Gali with eyes full of hate.
"You," he started, "you dirty..."
"UTAHOP!" warned Lhikan, Utahop gave Gali a last glare and then stepped back.
"So," continued Lhikan. "As I was saying, since we can't throw any of you off the island, you'll have to work toghether."
There were groans from both sides. It looked as if none of them was happy about these news.
"Nice start," commented Matau.
"How are we supposed to work with them, if we don't even know who they are." said the other black Toa.
"Right, so you might as well start tell them who you are," said Lhikan, Utahop murmured something about wanting to hear the other's names first, but the Uhat silenced him with a glance.
The black Toa turned out to be called Auno. He, Utahop and Uhat were all a head taller than the Toa Nuva, and looked extremly powerful. Awel, the green one, and Ilag, the blue female one, were a head shorter than the Toa Nuva. They looked tiny next to the other four, especially Ilag, who had also a slim figure. Not only, but, as Lewa couldn't help to notice, she was also extremly pretty. Unlike Gali, her eyes were of a light blue. The only Toa that was of a normal size was the white one, his name was Akapok.
The Toa started to introduce themselves too, but as soon as they had finished Uhat took word. "Maybe we should have told you before, but we aren't Toa Nuva."
"No?" asked Onewa surprised. "Then what?"
"We are Toa Leehar."
"Toa what?" blurted out Lewa.
"Leehar, we don't have only one power, but two. The main power is, just like you, fire, water, air and so on. But there's also our secondary power. Which, strangely, is stronger than our main power." explained Auno.
"And what would this power be? The one of the masks?" asked Lewa sarcastically.
"No, it's more... maybe it's better if I show you." said Uhat.
Then he took his magma blades and held them so that the handles pointed to each other. A split second after he did this, a stream of light shot out of each handle and met in the middle, connecting the two blades. At the same time, the handles started to glow and become smaller, until they were about the half of the original size.
The Toa Nuva took only half a moment to realize what they were looking at. They had seen that tool hundreds of times in their last adventures. It was a tool of the Rakshi. The tool of Turahk, the master of fear.
Bios of the Toa Leehar:
Uhat:
Uhat is the leader of the Toa Leehar and always ready to fight against those who put themself against him. He's aggressive and doesn't think much before he takes a decision, so mostly he leads his companions into even greater danger. Nobody knows why he was chosen as a leader, not even the other Toa Leehar know it.
Akapok:
Akapok is the oldest of the Toa Leehar and the one who can best control his two powers. He doesn't trust Uhat's abilities as a leader and often takes decisions on his own. There are rumors that he should have been the leader, but was defeated by Uhat in a fight. Akapok is also the only Toa Leehar that can use both of his powers at the same time, what makes him about the most dangerous to face in a battle.
Auno:
If you ask Auno to use his powers against a wall, there are good chances that he'll create an earthquake on the other side of the island too. He has little control over his powers and if he can he avoids using them. He is the strongest and biggest of the Toa Leehars and makes up for his lack of control with his strenght.
Utahop:
Utahop is the most powerful of the Toa Leehar, he is fast and nearly as strong as Auno. Unlike the others, he prefers his rakshi power to his elemental one. As all Po-Metruians he can't swim, and doesn't like when people talk about it. He hates Gali and water above everything else, but strangely enough, he would give his life to protect his younger sister Ilag.
Awel:
Awel makes up for his lack of strenght with great agility. He is the smallest of the Toa Leehar, but that makes it easy for him to move in the trees and to fly. He never knows when to stay quiet, something that often gets him into danger. Because he doesn't care much about rules, he often has problems with Vahki and Uhat.
Ilag:
Ilag is the youngest of the Toa Leehar, and even if she's taller than Awel, she looks smaller. She has great beauty and many Matoran think that she was born out of a wave. She doesn't like her rakshi power and looks weak and easily wounded, so she makes a perfect bait. She and Akapok make the minds of the group.
That's it for now. You might have noticed that I out the bios at the end of the chapter, the reason will become clear further on. Man, these bios are lousy. In the last one, the taller stuff is there only because I didn't know what to write. (besides, I mean two inches taller)
Thanks to all those who reviewed and to those who read but didn't (if there are any)
Nightbug08: Update soon or you'll send kyla after me? Who the heck is kyla? Anyway, if kyla annoys me or something I'll make sure that she gets a part in the Toa's Crazy Adventure! -laughs like a maniac-
ToaMaster: I read your story, I'll leave a review there as soon as I have time.
Slythergirl: Actually, it when I first though about this fanfic I thought of Nuhri and co as Turagas. But then I had a dream in which a magic white dragon told me to use Lhikan or the world would have suffered. (just joking)
