Turaga Matau: Good or Evil?
Disclaimer: Read the Prologue
Chapter Five
"That is the story of our ancient ancestors, and that's why we celebrate and honor Unity, Duty, and Destiny." Vakama said.
"Turaga, is there a way to save Onua?" Gali asked with concern.
"I don't know of any assistance we can give to Onua, but maybe Destiny knows?" Vakama replied.
The Toa all got on their feet and Takanuva hoisted Onua onto his shoulders.
"How long before they come back?" Matau asked.
"I don't know, they're like gods so maybe it'll take them only moments." Tahu said.
Just then, Destiny walked in with Duty and Unity.
Duty was as tall as Destiny, and wore silver armor, with the main armor color being green. He wore a mask that resembled Vakama's old Toa mask with a mixture of Onua's Nuva mask. He carried a shield with his right arm and a Rhotuka spinner was attached on his left arm.
Unity was Gali's height, and wore silver armor with blue main armor. Her mask looked like a combination of Turaga Nokama's mask and Gali's old Toa mask. She carried a disk launcher with her on her back and had a more ancient version of Nokama's old Toa tool, the hydro blades.
They walked simultaneously in sync with one another, and approached Onua.
"Matau, would you come here please?" Unity called to him.
Matau walked to her side.
"What do you need me for?"
"Matau, the power you carry inside of you cannot stay in there, it must be released. You must lend your power to Onua, who will heal with that new power, and we'll have to take him back to the island to repair him."
"What about the others?"
"They're wounds will heal over time, but Onua needs immediate assistance." Duty said, facing Matau.
"Very well, here it goes."
Matau placed a hand on Onua's chest armor, and sparks shot out of his palm and then energy flowed all around Onua's body, and he jolted. Matau began to change back to his old self, and began hating himself for the problems he caused.
"Matau, he will be fine. He will live. It'll take some time, however, and we don't have that kind of time." Unity said, kneeling down to him and putting a hand on his shoulder.
Duty picked up Onua and put him over his shoulder, and the three walked off and jumped high into the air, and disappeared.
Vakama walked over to comfort his friend.
The other Toa got up and walked back to their home villages. Takanuva went to the Kini-Nui to await the day that Destiny, Unity, and Duty would return with Onua.
Lewa decided, then, to walk home with his Turaga, rather than take the short way home.
"Lewa, I must apologize for the way I've been. Makuta tricked me, and I fell headlong into it because I was only thinking about myself." as they began walking home.
"We are samehearted, Turaga, and I doubt you'd have been able to control it because you were a Toahero so long ago. This only means that we must try harder, to defeat Makuta and stop the evilspread."
"Makuta will not be easily defeated. He was gone but how did he return? It seems that only Takanuva was spared down inside Kini-Nui, but how did he survive."
"Makuta will needed to be stopped forever this time, maybe that'll be the plan that Destiny and the others spoke of." Matau said, puzzled.
"Indeed." Lewa replied.
They went on and walked until they came to the village, and went to bed.
The next day, Lewa went of in search of the other Toa, and came back later, finding them as good as new and told the Turaga. Three days later, Onua returned with Duty, Destiny, and Unity. They all met at the entrance to Kini-Nui.
Onua joined the group then turned to face Unity, Duty, and Destiny, and so did the others.
"Toa Nuva, we are going to venture into Makuta's lair and draw him out hiding. When he comes out of his lair out in here, we'll be able to snare him and capture him. Then we will take care of the rest." Destiny said.
The Toa all headed for the entrance to the insides of Kini-Nui, but a blast sent the entrance flying into the air, and landed on Onua, who held it up with his bare hands, his mask glowing with his induced strength enhancing his body.
Onua chunked it to the side and everyone turned to see Makuta climb out of the hole and face his challengers.
"Who dares enter my realm!"
Then Makuta saw them.
"Unity, Duty, and Destiny? Why are you here?"
"We've come to seal you away forever and free this island from your evil."
"Toa and you three…now so bold as to think you can defeat me. I was recently traveling Metru-Nui and found the most peculiar beast left behind by Sidorak and Roodaka. The Voporak will help me defeat you."
"Oh no!" Destiny cried out.
"What is it, Destiny?"
"The Voporak is an ancient Rahi creature, who is so powerful, all attacks thrown at him will age before it hits him."
"We can take him!" Tahu said.
The Voporak emerged from the hole that Makuta emerged from and Tahu charged it.
"No wait Tahu!"
"I've got a plan, don't worry!"
Tahu charged and Voporak stood defiant, it was about Makuta's height and size, so it didn't fear anything. It lifted a large clawed hand and a beam shot out of it and it struck Tahu, even though the Mask of Shielding was active. Tahu began to breathe heavily, and fell to the ground on one knee. He let go of his swords and felt his mask began to rust over.
Voporak approached Tahu, who he then kicked out of the way as he began walking towards Unity, Duty, and Destiny. The trees around him began to wither and grow older, and Lewa looked on with anger.
Voporak then began to attack again with his beam and aimed at Unity, Duty, and Destiny.
