Encounters: Chapter 4
The Meeting
Tahu was extremely annoyed. The Toa of Fire awakened near a house of some type, and when he went over and knocked on the door, a small being answered. Then before he could say anything, it had picked up a shovel, and started to try and beat him with it. Before he could barbecue it, it ran back into the house and slammed the door. Now, after it had assured him that it wouldn't try to hit him anymore, it, or rather she, introduced herself as Meya. Now they were in the backyard, waiting for some friend she had called on something called a telephone. A couple minutes later, Meya's "friend" arrived, riding on Lewa's back, to the Fire Toa's surprise. The two climbed down from the roof, and ran over to where they stood waiting.
Meya's friend looked at Tahu from top to bottom, then put her hand over her eyes and asked, "You tried to hit him with a shovel, didn't you?"
Meya nodded, with an embarrassed look on her face.
"So, she worked you over pretty well, eh?" the girl asked, circling around him.
"Brother, I'm true-glad to see you unharmed." Lewa said, then, seeing the few bruises that Meya had given him, added, "Mostly."
"Jeez Meya, and I thought Fox was bad during a sugar-rush!" the girl joked. She looked at Tahu and said, "My name is Demon Child, but everyone just calls me D."
"Yes, well, that's very interesting, but we need to find our brothers and sister." Tahu said impatiently.
"Just out of curiosity, do you even know where anything is?" Meya asked, with a smarty pants tone.
Tahu held down his fiery temper with difficulty.
Who does this girl think she is! The Toa thought, fighting the urge to burn her to a crisp.
D could tell that Tahu was getting ticked off, so she decided to end the conversation before things got out of hand.
"Well, you guys are gonna need a place to stay first, so maybe we should focus on that right now." D suggested. "You could stay in my room, if you wanted."
"What about your parents?" Meya asked. "And your sister? I know for a fact, that your sister couldn't keep a secret if her life depended on it."
"Yeah, well, my parents never go into my room, and neither does Squirt, because she says it's got too much junk in it." D argued. "Even though she's one to talk."
"How many of you guys are there, anyway?" Meya asked.
"We have three other Toa-brothers and one Toa-sister." Lewa replied.
"And seeing as they could be anywhere, does anyone have any idea where to start?" D asked. "We've got an entire town that we have to search."
Suddenly, the phone in Meya's house started ringing. The blond-haired girl rushed into the house, and quickly answered it.
"Hello?" Meya said into the phone. "Hey Sunshine what's up? Yeah, she's here, one sec."
She walked outside with the cordless phone in her hand, and handed it to D.
"It's for you." she said simply.
D took the phone, and said, "Hello, that you Sunshine? Yeah why? Ok we'll be over in awhile. K, bye."
After hanging up the phone she explained, "It seems my friend Sunshine, found some of your brothers. Luckily, she didn't freak out, like Meya did."
"What are we waiting for then? Let's get over there!" Tahu said, already walking down the driveway.
"Wait brother, D says that human-people have never seen-saw Toa-Heroes before. We have to make truesure they don't see-find us." Lewa explained.
"Hey guys, pipe down a sec." D said, looking down the driveway.
"What's the matter D?" Meya asked.
"I hear motorcycles, which means…" D began.
"Devils! Let's get outta sight!" Meya said, already starting to climb a tree.
