"Helping a Friend"
Alan is in his bed and his breathing still wasn't good. Nokama places a wet towel on his forehead. "How is he, and why isn't he not turning Hordiaka as we did?" Onewa asked.
"My theory is that Visorak venom is deadly to humans and other things too," Whenua said as he had his fingers under his chin. "We just need to cure him."
"But the last time Viroak dark-venom was here Keetongu-rahi is the one who help-cured us, and he's not here," Matau said. "And I don't wanna even think-image what Alan-buddy would turn into." He said while the Toa shook their heads.
Nokama sits on a chair and holds Alan's hand for comfort while his eyes were slowing turning into a rash color. "But he's right, Keetongu's back in our dimension and without him... Alan's doom."
Alan begins to feel more pain in his stomach and lets go of Nokama's hand and held his stomach. They knew that the venom is getting worse inside him. "Brother." She had an even more worry look in her eyes.
Vakama clenches his fist and goes out of the ship. His Toa brothers and sister watches him as he leaves. "Vakama wait." Nuju is about to go after him, but Nokama gets up.
"It's fine, give him time." She said as she watches her brother leave the ship.
Vakama begins to wander around Jasper Park with a furious look in his eyes. As he wanders around the forest he comes near a pound and sits down on the ground. 'It's my fault.' He thought to himself and took a sigh and closes his eyes. "It's all my fault. I promise his family I watch over him, and I failed."
As Vakama sits down the wind blows. "Vakama." A voice calls to him and Vakama opens his eyes and looks around the area to see where that voice came from. "Vakama." The voice said once again.
"Who's there?" Vakama asked getting out his Disc Launcher.
Vakama raises his disc launcher and something comes out and it someone short with a gold mask and a staff. "Hello, Vakama." He said.
Vakama gasps. "Turaga Lhikan?" He drops his Disc Launcher. "I-is that really you?"
"It is. It's been while my friend hasn't it?" Vakama nods his head. "There is a way to cure your friend."
"There is? What is it? Tell me." Vakama comes to the Turaga and touches him, but couldn't.
"I'm only a spirit Vakama." He explained. "There is a tree of life not from here, and there is the sap of healing and it can cure any poison of any dimension, and only there's who are pure may take it."
"But, what if I fail?" He looks away from him closes his eyes. "I already failed Alan and his family."
Lhikan puts his staff on Vakama's torso and he looks back at him. "Maybe, but you can always fix it, and remember your destiny. Go to that tree and find it." Turaga Lhikan begins to fade away.
"No, wait! Don't go, please don't leave me!" Vakama tries to call him back but Lhikan completely fades away now.
"Remember destiny and cure your friend." Lhikan's voice still called out to Vakama.
Vakama clenches his fist and rushes back to the ship.
Back at the ship the rest of the Toa were in the hanger door thinking on what to do next. Vakama comes in. "Toa, there's a cure."
"Fire-spitter Keetongu is not here an-" Onewa said but Nokama put her hand on Onewa's shoulder, and she nods and lets Vakama finish.
"Turaga Lhikan's spirit came to me and he said that-" The rest of the Toa's eyes widen to that news and that name.
"Wait, Turag Lhikan came to you?" Nuju asked.
"Yes, and he said that there's a tree of life not far and the sap can cure Alan of the poison. And we may get it since we're pure and wanna protect our friend." Vakama finally finished and what the news was.
"Then we must go there and find that tree," Nokama said. "But one of us will have to stay here with Alan."
Onewa crosses his arms. "Not me I already carried him when he got poisoned." The rest of the Toa glare at him. "And you're gonna make me stay here aren't you?" He asked.
Whenua sighted and shakes his head. "I'll stay here with him."
Vakama puts his hands on Whenua's shoulder. "Thank you, my friend, we'll be back." Vakama and the rest of the Toa rush out of the ship.
Whenua then goes into Alan's room where it looks like he's in more pain than ever. 'Please hurry Toa.' He thought with worry looks in his eyes.
The five Toa wanders around Jasper Park to find that tree. They begin to search high and low but sadly Lhikan didn't tell Vakama what the tree looks like.
As they search they saw a bunch of webs on some trees and they knew what's out there and 'possibly' waiting for them. "Get your weapons out." Vakama whispers and the rest of the Toa get out their tools and moves quietly.
They move so quietly and trying not to make a sound so the Visorak wouldn't hear them. They move and move until... "Hello, Vakama." It was Roodaka hanging upside down on a tree branch.
The Toa backs away and held their tools in front of her. Roodaka then gets down from the tree branch and walks to them slowly. "Back of WITCH!" Onewa snarls.
"Oh, Toa of Stone no need to be rude." She giggles. "Besides finding that tree isn't gonna be easy, and how do you know it even exists?" She asked in a mocking tone.
This really gets Vakama angry in his eyes and gets out a disc. He fires it at her but she catches the disc. "Oh, touching a noble Toa making a promise to a human." She then tosses it away. "A Toa making a promise to keep him safe and saving the multiverse."
"I made a promise to his family... and I'm not GONNA BREAK IT!" He yells out and fires a disc at her and this time she gets hits in the torso.
She slowly gets up and he runs up to her and fires another disc at her and caused her to get his in the torso again and gets tossed into some trees. The rest of the Toa watch in horror as he continues to fire his disc at her.
She begins to moan in pain and Vakama pins her down and puts his Disc Launcher near her face. "This is for Alan. Goodbye Roodaka." The look in his eyes can tell he was gonna kill her out of anger. When it looks like Vakama is gonna kill her Matau grabs his arm.
"Easy fire-spitter this won't make things easier," Matau said in a soft tone as Vakama was trying to get free from Matau's grip.
"Let me GO!" He shouted.
"Vakama, calm down this won't help. Remember our duty," Nokama said softly as she takes away his Disc Launcher.
Vakama took a few deep breaths. "I'm sorry, I just wanna keep my promise."
"We all do, and we all made a promise to his family that we watch over him," Nuju said.
Vakama took a deep sight. "Ok." He then sees that Roodaka isn't there anymore, and the rest of the Toa saw she wasn't around anymore. "We'll get her later, but for now let's find that tree."
Before they all can walk off a hooded figure appears behind them. "You won't look any farther." It's a female voice. "I sense you were coming."
"Who are you and how did you know we we're coming?" Onewa asked.
"I am the keeper of the Tree of Life, and I've been watching you since you arrived and you're hearts speak the truth of keeping a friend safe. That's why I'm leading you to the Tree of Life." She explained. "Follow me." She walks off.
The Toa follows her.
As they walk in Jasper Park they come near an invisible force field and enters it and see the Tree of Life. "Only those of pure-hearted can enter and you are those purse warriors." She then grabs a vile out of her robe and takes some of the tree sap and adds some water to it. She gives it to Vakama.
"Thank you we won't forget your kindness." Nokama gives out a smile of kindness.
"It was my pleasure, and now you must get back to your friend, and we meet again Toa." She then goes back to the Tree of Life.
Vakama and the Toa run off now and run as fast as they can to cure Alan of the poison.
They make it back to the ship and runs back to Alan's room and saw his eyes and body is getting worse. "What happened and what took you so long?" Whenua asked.
"Don't ask." Onewa said.
Vakama opens the vile and held on the back of Alan's head as Alan drinks the potion. Alan takes a deep breath and the rash and redness goes away. His breathing goes back to normal.
Alan begins to breathe once again. "Alan, how are you feeling?" Vakama asked.
"G-good. But are you alright?" He then asked
"Alan the only thing we care about is your safety." Vakama then sits down on the chair next to the bed.
"Yeah, but because of me getting poisoned to save your life we lost a key, it's all my fault." He becomes saddened.
"No, no dear boy don't blame yourself," Whenua said gently. "We may lose one key, but there are more out there in the world."
"Yeah, but for now get some rest." Nuju then puts the covers over him.
The Toa walks out of the room and Alan closes his eyes to get his strength back.
The Toa are now in the hanger room. "Now Toa not only we must face the Machine Dimension Empire, but we must face Roodaka once again along with the Visorak." Vakama speeches
"But fire-spitter what something else is out there in this world, what if something else is gonna happen here?" Onewa asked.
"Then we must face it... together." Vakama grabs the first talisman they have.
