Chapter Three
Matau continued to travel onward to Ko-Koro, determined to go after Kopaka next. Matau saw Kopaka snow skiing down Mount Ihu. Matau materialized and ran after Kopaka on a snowboard made of darkness. Kopaka turned his head and noticed Matau coming his way. Word had spread of a new threat and the disappearance of Turaga Matau, so Kopaka was waiting for his turn at the enemy.
Kopaka jumped up and out of his sword skiis as he found a snow cliff and turned to face Matau.
Kopaka grabbed his sword and split it into two, one in each hand. Kopaka noticed Matau's mask was glowing and darkness formed around Matau's hands. They soon turned into two dark swords just like Kopaka's.
Kopaka did nothing as Matau took a fighting stance and they both waited for the other to make the first move. They both leapt at each other at the same time.
Matau had locked swords with Kopaka and they held each other. Neither of them losing face and backing down. The only sounds that were heard were the wind blowing and the clatter as the blades shook in the opponent's hands. They stood there, possibly for minutes straight, never moving an inch.
That is, until the lock had broken apart.
Matau was the first to break, his swords diminished and Kopaka's were damaged from the dark energy. Kopaka threw down his swords and Matau lunged at Kopaka, they locked hands and continued in that stance. Matau pushed forward this time however, and Kopaka was losing ground, and face. Kopaka's face hardened and pushed back, and they were back in the middle. With lightning quickness, Matau ducked down, and swung his leg to trip Kopaka.
Kopaka jumped at the attempt, and in return, let go to punch Matau in the face. Matau ducked however, and did a backflip then stood there. They stood facing each other, hands up in a boxing style. Matau concentrated his dark energy and formed a ball of dark energy, big enough that Kopaka couldn't dodge it, and then he threw it at Kopaka. Kopaka lunged at his sword and swung at the energy ball, sending it back to Matau.
Matau saw it coming and put his hands in the way to block it. It worked. Matau pushed up and the energy was released into the sky and exploded.
Matau then decided enough was enough. With the same lightning speed as before, he charged Kopaka and began pummeling Kopaka as fast as Pohatu might be able to. Kopaka had no time to shield or block, only allowed himself to get pummeled. Matau delivered a final punch that sent Kopaka sprawling to the ground. Matau summoned another energy sword and brought it down on Kopaka.
However, Kopaka rolled out of the way but was soon kicked by Matau. Matau had expected Kopaka to try something like that, so he sent Kopaka falling and rolling down the cliffside.
Matau smirked and left for Ta-Koro.
Meanwhile
Tahu had just received word from a Le-Koro bird rider that Kopaka was just attacked. Gali had come and so had Onua and Takanuva.
Tahu was enraged by the news. Vakama tried to comfort him. Gali was there too, but she gave up trying to reason with Tahu.
"No! I'm going to go find him myself!"
Tahu ran out of the Turaga's hut and headed for the gate, when suddenly, it was blown away.
"Tahu!" Matau called.
"Right here!" Tahu shouted as he charged Matau.
Matau smirked as he summoned half a dozen copies of himself.
"No matter how many there are of you, I'll defeat them all!" Tahu shouted.
Tahu attacked the nearest one, but was kicked in the side by another copy. He took a wild swing at another copy, but another one grabbed his arm and pinned him to the ground, the others jumped on him and began pummeling him.
Then the sun began to set as Tahu lay on the ground, hurting and barely moving.
Suddenly, the sun began to set, and darkness enshrouded the city of Ta-Koro. Then Makuta's ominous laughing began to be heard. Then, Makuta appeared out of the shadows and approached Matau.
"WHO ARE YOU?" Tahu shouted as best as he could.
Matau ignored him and turned to Makuta.
"My lord, I've defeated three of them so far." Matau said bowing on one knee.
"So, what is your answer?" Makuta asked.
Matau looked up in question.
"I gave you twenty-four hours to use them to your best interests, now do you wish to serve me forever and become my loyal disciple?"
Matau looked down at the ground then at the group of gathered Toa and Matoran and Vakama.
"Yes."
"Then I bestow you my disciple, the honor of killing them and rip them apart piece by piece……..Matau."
At the mention of this enemy's name, everyone's eyes widened.
"Matau? What are you doing? Why are you on his side?" Vakama said shocked.
"Vakama, I was given a chance to be a Toa-Hero again. Ever since I gave up that power, I wanted it all along. Even as a Toa Hordika, I wanted to be normal."
Vakama was awe-struck by this.
Onua's face hardened. He yelled and threw a huge boulder at Matau. Matau smirked and destroyed it with two dark swords.
"No strings attached now. You're all free reign!" Matau shouted as he charged Onua.
Onua couldn't react fast enough and was soon impaled. Onua groaned and grasped at his wound, as Matau pulled out his swords and Onua fell to the ground, electricity surrounded the wound and Onua's eyes rolled into the back of his head. Matau smirked and attacked Gali, who put up her swords in a cross to protect her, Matau just kicked her and she flew into a nearby wall. Matau charged at her and stood above her. Then looked back at Makuta.
"I wish to spare her, to spread the tale of Matau, Toa of Darkness. Along with the chronicler."
"Very well, leave the Matoran, Gali, and the chronicler, but kill everything else that stands in your way."
"Very good then."
Matau charged Takanuva, who jumped out of the way of the charge, but a dark copy of him attacked from the shadows. Soon, the sun began to set.
Matau looked at the sunset, and smirked.
"Now my power will increase ten-fold!" Matau said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Takanuva destroyed the dark copy and it blew up in a cloud of dark dust. Takanuva was soon pinned against the wall as Matau charged him through the dust. Matau then stuck on of his dark swords in Takanuva's stomach, pinning him.
Kopaka, Lewa, and Pohatu all arrived at that moment.
"I'll save you for last." Matau said.
Kopaka, Lewa, and Pohatu attacked all at once, Kopaka and Lewa with their broken weapons.
Pohatu was kicked in the chest and was pinned to the ground and Matau blocked Kopaka's and Lewa's attacks with his dark swords.
Matau then twirled on Pohatu's chest plate and cut both Kopaka and Lewa. Kopaka summoned an ice lance and Lewa summoned a large wind surge.
Matau blocked the ice lance with his forearm, and dodged the wind surge by jumping high in the air then punching Lewa in the face. Matau then grabbed Lewa's mask and pulled it off. Lewa held on for dear life but soon let go and was out of commission. Matau then threw it into the forest somewhere. Lewa now lay on the ground, unmoving. Kopaka let out a war cry as he jumped high into the air, impaling Matau in the stomach with his ice lance.
Matau screamed and fell back on the lance that was stuck on the ground, so he was still standing and leaning on the lance. Matau threw his head back and didn't move anymore.
Kopaka looked around and noticed that Gali was okay, and that Takanuva pulled free the dark sword, but it didn't dissipate. Why wasn't it destroyed if Matau was.
"Why didn't it dissipate?" Kopaka asked the question again out loud.
"Because, I'm not dead." Matau said as he regained consciousness.
Kopaka was shocked that this was happening.
Matau looked at him.
"We're biomechanical, it'll take more than an ice lance to kill me." Matau said, laughing evilly.
Kopaka summoned some ice and he threw it to the ground near Matau, which spread into a wide circle, which froze his feet, and was slowly moving up his legs.
"Kopaka, you of all people should be smarter than that." Matau said.
Matau broke free with a burst of darkness.
"Now………you will die."
