Encounters: Chapter 5
The Devils
"What on Mata Nui are Devils!" Tahu asked, sounding confused and annoyed.
"The Devils" is a motorcycle gang, who cause trouble around here." D explained climbing behind a bush. "They steal, do drugs, and if they can find any, beat on kids like us for fun. If they find you, they'll probably do the same, so get over here!"
"Toa don't hide from anyone or anything!" Tahu argued.
"They do if they're gonna be turned into sludge!" D argued back, jumping out of the bush and dragging the two Toa back in. "Now keep quiet! I'm not gonna have any guilt-trips because of you two!"
Once they were all behind the bush, Meya kept an eye on what the gang was doing from her tree-top hiding place.
"They've got somebody with them." Meya whispered from her tree.
We've gotta help them. Thought D. But how?
"We need a plan." Meya said again from the tree.
"I've got my slingshot with me." D said, producing the wooden weapon. "I just need a rock, or something."
"How bout an acorn?" Meya suggested, plucking one from her tree.
"That'll work." D agreed.
"What do you plan-think to do with that?" Lewa asked.
"I'll use this to distract them, than we'll go help whoever it is they've got over there." D replied, aiming the acorn at a bush across the street.
D fired the acorn across the street. The noise it made, attracted the gang away from their victim, and they left him alone with one gang member to guard him.
"I think we can take care of one guy." D muttered. "Come on, they won't leave for long."
"We'd better be careful D." Meya warned. "They've got guns."
"Guns?" Tahu questioned.
"Weapons that can kill you instantly if their bullets hit the right spot." D explained. "Just be careful, and look the hell out if you see one aimed your way."
Quietly, they snuck up behind the gang member and Meya, who had her shovel in hand again, struck him over the head. Once they were sure he was out-cold, they inspected the boy who had been taken. He was unconscious, but otherwise alright.
Before they could drag him out of harms way, they heard a voice shout, "Well, looky what we have here. Two girls and a couple of guys who think its Halloween."
"Great, just what we need…" D muttered as the gang members surrounded them.
That's it I've had enough of this! Tahu thought leaping toward the nearest gang member.
As Tahu easily tackled the man, the others began attacking, some attempting to bring down the Toa, while others tried to hold the girls down. Luckily, Meya had taken karate lessons, and D was just really good with her slingshot. Tahu had knocked at least six gang members out-cold, and Lewa wasn't doing so bad either. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she sees a gang member sneak up behind Tahu with a metal pipe in his hand.
"Tahu, watch out!" the girl called too late.
Before the Toa can even turn around, the gang member struck the back of his head with the pipe. Seven of the gang members walked over, and began kicking him in the ribs. The Toa of Fire, now unconscious, would probably get his ribs at least bruised if nothing was done about it.
"Get away from him!" D screeched, firing a rock at one of the members.
The rock hit the one guy square in the forehead, causing a wound in his head to appear. Angered, the man came after D.
"You'll pay for that, you little wench!" the man yelled, grabbing her by the arm.
Suddenly, a form ran out from a bush, tackling the man to the ground. Lewa looked over, and immediately recognized the being.
"Pohatu!" the Air Toa exclaimed.
"Don't forget about me!" came another voice, as a black figure emerged from the bushes, after the Stone Toa.
"Onua!" Lewa exclaimed for a second time.
"Let's get ready to rumble!" Pohatu yelled as he began easily throwing the gang members into the air.
