I don't own the Toa, the Turaga, or the Matoran. The character Shadow belongs to shadow dragon04. The other characters belong to me. Thank you.

Dimensions Apart: Chapter 8

Sadako's loss and Sadako's gain

I do believe things just got a little more interesting… Shadow thought as she stood beside Kopaka, watching Sadako's look of shock.

Sadako regained her composure after a moment. She walked over to the Toa of Light, and handed him the egg.

"Take good care of her…" she whispered, so low that only Takanuva could hear her.

Afterhe nodded, the gargoyle took her place beside Lewa. She looked happy, yet sad at the same time. She looked like she was a mother, giving up her child. Lewa saw this, and, not knowing what else to do, placed his hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him, giving him a grateful smile.

Now that I look at him, he is kinda cute… she thought, then shook her head. Ah, what am I thinking! He's green, biomechanical, and…and… really, really cute…

"I've got a question…" Toru said. "What exactly do we have to do to find this evil?"

"You must go to the Kumu Islets, for that is where the evil hides." Turaga Nokama replied.

Great, more stuff that I don't understand… Shadow thought coldly.

"The Kumu Islets? What are those?" Mahasin asked.

"They are a group of small islands on the southern tip of Mata-Nui." Turaga Onewa explained. "We attempted to colonize them, but there were too many dangerous Rahi there."

"So we have to go there?" Rito asked, sounding extremely nervous.

Matau shook his head, and replied, "You cannot leave yet. The seventh chosen has not been hatched-born yet. Until Takanuva's partner is hatched-born from her egg, you cannot leave to start your journey. We were planning some party-fun in Le-Koro in your honor anyway."

Toru's eyes lit up. He'd never been to a party before. This island was definitely better then his planet. Not only did the people here treat him nicely, but he was supposed to be a hero to.

I'm going to prove that I can be of help to Onua though. He thought. He already saved me when I first got onto this island. I'm going to make sure that I repay him, one way or another.

"What are we waiting for then?" Lewa asked. "Let's get back to Le-Koro, and have some party-fun!"

Everybody except Kopaka and Shadow looked excited. They just rolled their eyes. Shadow glanced up at Kopaka.

Hmmm… well, he's definitely earned my respect… she thought.

After a few minutes the group started heading toward Mata-Nui's lush jungle.

To be continued…
