Encounters: Chapter 3

The Others

While D was trying to figure out what to do about the situation, the phone in her room started ringing.

"What in Mata Nui is that loud-noise!" Lewa said, pressing his hands to his ears.

"It's called a telephone." Demon Child explained. "We use it to communicate with people who are a long ways away."

Fox went over and picked it up.

"Ok, ok, just calm down Meya." The two heard Fox say into the phone. He then handed the phone to D and said, "It's for you."

"Hello? Hi Meya, what's the matter?" D asked into the phone. "REALLY! Ok, we'll be over in a minute. NO YOU CAN'T HIT HIM WITH A SHOVEL! Just… get him out of sight till we get there. Ok, bye."

"Well, what did she want?" Fox asked.

"I think she found one of your friends, Lewa." she answered. "I think it was the red one… Tahu was it?"

Lewa's eyes lit up, and he leaped off the bed.

"Sounds correct-right. Let's go-hurry over and help-save him!" Lewa said, racing towards the door.

"Wait, we have to find a way to get there, so no one else can see you!" D said, running over, and blocking the door.

"Why? Don't people-humans know what Toa-Heroes are?" Lewa asked.

"No, we don't have Toa around here. Just police, who'll probably stick you in a cage if they see you." D replied.

"Wait a sec, can't you fly?" Fox asked.

"Yes." Lewa replied.

"Well, it's dark out now, so if you fly, nobody will see you." Fox suggested.

"Alright, that would work." D agreed. "You think you can do that?"

"Truesure." Lewa replied with a grin. "I could even give you a lift-ride too."

D smiled, and replied, "Sounds good to me. You stay here, Fox. If Squirt comes home, tell her I'm busy."

"Aw, why do you get to have all the fun?" Fox whined.

Ignoring him, D led Lewa out to the driveway, and they climbed onto the roof. Lewa bent over, and D climbed onto his back. With that, Lewa summoned a wind, and they lifted up into the air.

This is way to cool for school! D thought to herself.

"Which way-go?" Lewa asked, snapping D back into reality.

"Over there, to that red house." D replied, gesturing toward a red-bricked house that was right below them.

Lewa swooped down, and landed on the roof gracefully. They looked down into the backyard, and saw a young, 13 year old girl, with long blond hair, and blue eyes. Lewa guessed that she was Meya. Standing next to her was the red figure of the Toa of Fire, Tahu. Meya looked really nervous, and was keeping a good distance between herself and the Toa, who looked like he had been through hell and back again. D and Lewa climbed down from the roof, and ran over to where the two stood.

D looked Tahu over, put her hand over her eyes and asked, "You tried to hit him with a shovel, didn't you?"
