Authraw: I know Takanuva is not the Chronicler anymore…that's why I put it in italics, making Vakama sound sarcastic… Also, Hahli was not present at the moment so…yeah… There is one thing I have to point out…the line afterwards, goes something like 'the Toa and Turaga let out quiet laughs'. I did that and Takanuva's response in Italics to show his annoyance. But thank you for noticing anyway. Glad you liked the chapter…

Feline Freak: …didn't get the last part of the review…but…glad it was worth the wait. And readers, Read Crazy Adventure, by Feline Freak...not even kidding around...when i read it, i was rolling on the floor laughing my ass off...

For all those that didn't know, in the twelfth chapter, when Eli says:

"What's this, Tahu?" Eli asked plucking something else off his back.

What am I? A fruit tree? Tahu thought bitterly. Eli dangled something in front of his face. Kopaka's hands still gripped his arms. "It doesn't matter…" he said, acting more courageous than he really felt."

I was talking about that Shadow Eli had found the Konohi Vahi on Tahu's back.

Just to let you know so there isn't any confusion...

Chapter 17: Return to the Villages

Le-Koro became closer with every passing second as Lewa flew closer. Lewa noticed Matau had a smile on his face. Matau was having a nice trip on Lewa's back. Lewa on the other hand, was feeling slightly weighted down from the extra weight.

Lewa landed in one of the trees which happened to suspended Kongu's hut with a crash. Kongu ran outside ran outside angrily.

"What the..?" Kongu began, but his face brightened when he saw who it was, "…oh…Turaga Matau! Toa Lewa! The other matoran are waiting for you at the Suva!"

Lewa nodded and placed Matau on his back again and soared to the Suva.

The square was crowded with all the Le-matoran who stood in a bunched circle. A Le-matoran named, named Carver, stepped out from the crowd.

"Turaga Matau, the Le-matoran have hard-worked for ten suns past now…"

Lewa looked at Matau with a puzzle look. Carver brought forward an object covered in cloth.

"We present you with your staff," Carver said uncovering Matau's staff. Matau's face lit up when he saw his staff repaired.

Lewa remembered what had happened that day: The rush of air, Matau gone, and the Kau-Kau staff in pieces.

"Tank you, my matoran…" Matau said with a smile.

Cheers erupted from Ta-Koro as Tahu, Takanuva and Vakama entered the Village Square. An excited matoran came up to Tahu.

"Tell us how you defeated the Shadow Toa!" the matoran exclaimed.

"Yes! Please do Toa Tahu," other confirmed. Tahu felt his chest swell with pride, but he then felt he needed to do the right thing. Tahu looked at Takanuva and smiled briefly.

"I didn't do the whole thing myself…" Tahu said noticing Vakama's stare, whom was watching every move Tahu made, "…Toa Kopaka and Toa Eli helped. Actually, Eli did most of it. Eli was the one that figured out where the Turaga were hidden."

"Tell the whole thing, Toa Tahu!" another matoran said.

Tahu merely smiled, and began his tale.

Kopaka was walking slowly through the snow and barely noticed Nuju beside him. The events of the past few days kept rolling around in his mind.

A click from Nuju interrupted his thoughts. Kopaka looked up and saw the three enormous glaciers, the only thing that was keeping him from home. He sighed as he felt that invisible thread pulling him across the ice bridge and through the tunnel, but he also felt the invisible thread pulling him towards the south, towards El-Koro. Kopaka shook the feelings off.

Nuju needs Ko-Koro, as do I…but so does Eli after what happened today, Kopaka thought crossing the bridge.
Shadows covered his face as he entered the tunnel. Kopaka shivered, feeling the cold of shadow creep into his body. Kopaka hurried out of the tunnel, and came face to face with two matoran: Matoro and Ko-Kohilii.

"Turaga Nuju!" Matoro exclaimed throwing a hug at the Turaga of Ice. "You're back!"

Kopaka could not help himself. A laugh escaped his mouth. Surprised at himself, she spun around in embarrassed. Ko-Kohilii giggled.

"Gone soft, have we Toa Kopaka?" Ko-Kohilii asked still having a giggling fit.

"Not quite," was his answer, and he headed towards his hut.

The snow crunched under Eli's feet as she limped back to El-Koro. It seemed she had been walking for hours and gotten nowhere.

Eli's head hurt a lot, and all she wanted to do was curl up and go to sleep. The mouth of the cave, which led to El-Koro, appeared in front of her. Eli blinked. How had she gotten here without her seeing it first? She should have seen the cave ahead of time because the cave is visible from a distance.

It doesn't matter, Eli thought as she trudged to her hut. The dim glow of El-Koro greeted her.

Eli stumbled back to her hut and lay down on her bed. She lay there, staring at the ceiling for a long time. Eli sighed, and fell asleep.
