Turaga Matau: Good or Evil?
Disclaimer: Read the Prologue
Chapter Two
Lewa backed up from initial shock but then blocked the copy's sword. The copy swung low and then high, making Lewa jump and then duck but as he ducked, the copy kicked him and Lewa flew into a tree. Lewa dropped his swords and the dark copy raced at him. Overwhelming fear seemed to take over Lewa at that moment and he couldn't move. Right as the thing brought it down on Lewa, Lewa closed his eyes and a rushing wind blew over him. Nothing was heard after that but the chirping of birds or the noise of crickets, mixed in with his own heavy breathing. Lewa opened his eyes and looked around, noticing no one else was there. He got up and looked around again. Nothing. Lewa grabbed his aeroslicers and flew off to Ta-Koro.
High above on a cliff ledge, above the cave, Matau stood defiantly with his arms crossed. Then he laughed to himself.
"Lewa, how everquick you were to run. I must-"
Suddenly, someone was traveling through the tree canopy and heading towards Le-Koro.
"What? A Leaf-runner?" Matau asked himself.
Matau ran on the ground and realized it was faster to travel in shadows. He caught up with the figure and realized it to be Keetongu, a Matoran who was a very good friend to Lewa. Matau moved closer and was looking up at him from the ground.
"Something travels downtree…" Keetongu said to himself.
Keetongu said nothing more as he raced to the village. Matau thought nothing more of it and headed off to Kini-Nui.
Meanwhile in Ta-Koro
"Vakama! Vakama!" Lewa shouted to the Turaga as he landed.
"What troubles you, Toa of Air?" he asked with concern.
"A Toa of Darkness has shown himself, and I was no match for him."
Suddenly a grunt was heard behind him and Lewa turned around.
"Naturally, you aren't strong enough. I bet I can take him down." Tahu said as he entered.
"Tahu, you know not of what that Toa is capable of."
Tahu waved off the comment.
"Just send him to me and I'll take care of him."
"Lewa? What is the matter with your swords?" Vakama asked, looking at his swords and noticing a crack in it.
"I know not, I had a little trouble getting over here, but I don't know. I must be going."
Vakama nodded and Lewa turned to Tahu.
"Tahu, head for Kini-Nui, maybe we can form a plan there."
"Alright, I'll meet you there."
Lewa quickly jumped into the air and just as quickly fell to the ground.
"What?"
"It must be the crack in the swords, with the swords broken, the power must've left them."
"I am treebound then. Hurry, come with me Tahu and we shall warn the others."
"Fine."
Tahu grabbed his sword and they left and ran towards Ga-Koro as fast as they could.
On the ground, heading for Po-Koro
Matau traveled in the ground and soon came upon Po-Koro, and he materialized up from it and walked inside the grounds. Matau looked around at all the sleeping Matoran. Then he found Pohatu, sitting on a cliff overlooking the city, but didn't see Matau climbing up the wall behind him. Pohatu looked up and then jumped up not knowing who it was."
"Who are you?"
"Pohuta, I must get rid of you for Makuta's plan to work."
"So your working for Makuta, that's a good enough answer for me."
Pohatu pulled out his climbing claws and saw Matau's mask glow. Matau put his hands together and shot a ball of dark energy at Pohatu. Pohuta moved out of the way with his mask power at lightning speed.
"You'll have to do better than that." Pohatu said with confidence.
Pohatu noticed several dark lines traveling through the ground towards him and one shot a dark geyser of evil energy right where we once stood.
Pohatu jumped off the cliffside, noticing behind him that the trails of dark energy follow down the cliffside. As soon as Pohatu landed, he ran out of the village in hopes that the being would follow him. Matau did. Pohatu found a clearing and stopped as the dark energy stopped and started to circle around him. Matau popped out of the ground and walked over to him, the dark energy now surrounding them both.
"I will do better than that Pohatu, I'll kill you."
"Wha-"
Matau jumped up and out of the circle of dark energy, and as he did, the dark energy sped at Pohatu so fast he didn't have time to move and darkness covered him from head to foot, and then he let out a shout and was shoved back and out of the dark energy, now lying on the ground, barely breathing and barely able to move.
Matau came over and slammed his foot into Pohatu's chest and looked him square in the eye.
"But I won't kill you just yet, I need to take care of some other things first."
Matau then disappeared in a cloud of darkness, leaving Pohatu alone and on the ground.
