Chapter 14: The Reunion

Eli had a sharp feeling in her arms, and her wrists were worst. They were aching as if they had been suspending weight for a long period of time. She slowly opened her eyes. She was surrounded by darkness and seemed to be the only one there. Then a pair of ice blue eyes opened next to her on her right and on her left, a pair of red eyes.

"Kopaka! Tahu! Thank Mata Nui you're alright," Eli exclaimed. "Where are the others?"

"Not here, if that's what you mean," Tahu said sourly. "We don't know where they are."

"We're chained too and can't move, just as you are," Kopaka said quietly.

"Chained?" Eli asked. One of the two Toa beside her shook their hands and the clinking of metal echoed throughout the room.

"All we know is that we are in here and the others aren't in here with us," Tahu said. "He paused for a long moment. "I'm surprised I'm here and alive. Even somewhat thankful I'm here."

"Why wouldn't you be here?" Eli questioned.

"Well…I fell about five-thousand feet after you and Kopaka pushed me into what seemed to be an endless abysm…" Tahu began. "…My hands were bound behind my back with a laser bind and I was only able to collect my swords after I had crashed to into the hard ground at the bottom of the chasm because you pushed me and took my swords away from me. That crash hurt a lot," Tahu said quietly.

"Uh, Tahu..?" Kopaka said.

"We didn't push you into that crevasse. While you were falling five-thousand feet, you ambushed us in the caves while we were looking for you," Eli said.

"I didn't ambush you," Tahu said. "I was…"

"Falling!" Eli and Kopaka cried in resentment. "WE KNOW!"

A loud THUD startled the three. A pair of large, red eyes appeared.

"Makuta!" the three Toa whispered.

"I see you have met my consociates," Makuta laughed. Two pairs of eyes appeared beside him. One red, one ice blue. Eli heard Tahu growl under his breath, but his eyes remained staring angrily at Makuta and his partners. He was restless, Eli could tell, but he moved but a little.

"Where are the others?" Eli demanded.

"Safe…for now," Makuta said enjoying the suffering Toa, "but for now it is only you three. And for you, Toa of Ice, Toa of Fire…I have a little show for you."

"I don't like this," Tahu whispered to Kopaka.

"Neither do I," Kopaka returned in reply. Before Eli knew what was happening, she found herself on the ground, freed from the chains. Her arrow came from nowhere.

"Fight and win, your friends are spared, and so are the Turaga. Lose, well, you know the rest," he laughed. Five other pairs of eyes appeared. The figure with the red eyes stepped forward.

"Ready to suffer the wrath of fire?" Tahu's voice said, lighting his swords. Eli lit her arrow as well.

"Already have…" Eli said. "Do you want to know what you do with fire?" she said blocking a blow from the shadow Tahu.

"Not really," The clone said with boredom, back-flipping away from one of her swings.

"Fight fire with fire," she finished sending a ball of fire at him. He dodged it and sent a larger ball of white-hot fire back at her. It barely missed. Eli could feel its heat as it passed her. After a while, she realized that fighting fire with fire wasn't working. Kopaka and Tahu realized it too, but decided to not give her hints, fearing Makuta's reaction.

"I can feel your fear," shadow Tahu said sending a line of fire at her through the ground towards her. Eli leaped aside.

"You may feel my fear, but I know your weakness," Eli said slyly, taking a swing at her opponent.

"Do you think she really knows his weakness," Tahu said to Kopaka.

"Probably not…but if she knows yours, then she knows his," Kopaka remarked quietly.

"Just great…" Tahu frowned.

"You know my weakness?" the reflection asked, surprised.

"You know his weakness?" Makuta asked even more surprised.

"Uh-huh…" Eli said and shot a jet of water at him. She stopped and sneered. The evil Tahu wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and he was…steaming?

"Yep, she knows your weakness," Kopaka said definitely.

"And I have some helpers," Eli grinned.

"You do?" asked Makuta and the shadow Tahu at the same time. Eli leaped to the wall near Tahu and Kopaka, and sliced the chains clean off their wrists with a white-hot end of her metal. They landed on the floor beside her.

"I didn't know your arrow could do that!" Tahu exclaimed.

"Neither did I," Eli said.

"I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY A GIRL!" the reflection roared.

"Yep, sounds just like Tahu," Kopaka said beside her.

"Let's finish him," Tahu concluded, ignoring Kopaka's comment. The combined their powers and defeated the stranger. He finally crashed to the ground and his magma swords slid to the other end of the chamber, near Makuta. Exhausted and defeated he sat there, breathing heavily. Eli, Kopaka and Tahu walked up to him. Eli raised an eyebrow.

"Won't be beat by a girl, will ya?" she said. Tahu's evil twin just glared at the three. Eli squirted him again and he began to steam once more.

"Looks like you need to cool off," Kopaka stated, freezing him over. Eli turned to Makuta

"I…I mean we can't be beaten so easily. Now free the others, just like you promised."

"I didn't promise anything," Makuta said motioning to the other pairs of eyes. They all stepped forward.

"Uh-oh," Kopaka muttered.

"You guys have defeated these guys before. Just do what you did before," Eli said.

"Uh-oh," Kopaka said again.

"Stop saying 'uh-oh!'" Eli snapped.

"Uh…last time there were six of us, not three," Tahu said.

"…And were just the Toa, not the Toa Nuva. So then they were easier," Kopaka finished

"It was really freaky hearing my voice talk back to me from the shadows," Tahu said, watching the shadow Toa advance.

"I'm not a Toa Nuva and I just defeated your evil twin, Tahu…" Eli paused a second. "There are six of them and three of us. We can each take two," Eli ordered.

"Can do," Tahu agreed. "Or try…" he gulped. Kopaka nodded yes.

"Good," Eli said getting into her battle stance. Kopaka and Tahu followed her lead.

The shadow Toa were just a swords-length away. Eli swung first. She was easily blocked by shadow Onua, whom she could barely see.

Tahu dodged a throw from shadow Takanuva, whose light was more a shadow. Just a clone of Makuta himself, Tahu thought bitterly. He took a swing at Sir Talk-A-Lot or shadow Lewa, who was behind him. He connected solidly with Lewa's jaw, sending him across the room. He turned to Takanuva and just barely ducked away from his staff. Tahu jumped up and flipped over him. Takanuva turned into Tahu's hard kick. That sent him next to Lewa for the meantime.

Shadow Pohatu was being a pain. He kept climbing the walls. Kopaka turned to shadow Gali for a moment. She sent a jet of water at him. He reacted quickly, blocking it with his shield, soaking Gali. He felt a rush of pity for a moment. It felt like he was destroying his own sister. He overcame his pity for her and froze her into an ice statue. Kopaka turned back to Pohatu but couldn't find him. He looked up but could not find his orange eyes. A thud behind him made him turn. All he saw was a large object fly toward him…
