Chapter 5
"Toa Pohatu? Really?"
Takua's heart pounded against his chest as the nui-jaga got closer to them. A glass-breaking harpy screech came from it, making him and Jason cover there ears. Its horrifying claws threatening to snap their heads off if they take one step closer to its prized treasure. Drool oozed out of its mouth like acid as poison seeped out of its stinger. Takua has seen many of these things, but never has he stood still long enough to see every detail on it. It was like a creature from one's nightmare.
"We need to get out of here!" he said backing away from the monster.
"I agree," Said Jason, "but we need to get rid of those kohlii balls."
"How?"
There was a rumbling, short, but frequent. Mini earthquakes sounding like footsteps getting closer and closer. They turned around to see a tall figure with orange eyes, shoulders hunched back, and feet that made the mini quakes.
Takua gasped, "Toa Pohatu?"
"Hello, my friends," he greeted walking past them, "Turaga Onewa told me every thing, including your new rahi friend."
"As much as I want to tell you I'm not a rahi, we have a problem," said Jason pointing at the nui-jaga. It roared and spat at them.
"Watch out!" cried Pohatu. He gets in front of them getting hit in the face from the saliva.
"Toa Pohatu, are you all right?" cried Takua.
He grunts and shakes his head, "I'm fine the only problem is…I can't see." He turns to them showing that his once orange eyes have now become a slimy gray. "You have to help me with this, without my sight I have no clue what to do."
The nui-jaga screeched again as if telling them to leave at once.
Jason looks around desperately then notices the pillars. Her ears twitching, she looks at Takua.
"Takua, pass me a ball, and hurry." He nods and passes one to her. Once she got the ball she kicks it to Pohatu's feet. "Toa, turn slightly to your left and kick!"
He nods and does so, the nui-jaga screeched and scuttled towards it trying to stop the ball. Unfortunately for it, the ball hit its target, breaking the pillar into pieces. Jason smiled; she had a feeling that the pillars had something to do with this.
"Takua, pass another one!" he does so and she passes it to the stone toa. "Kick to the right!" Pohatu turns and kicks hitting another pillar. The nui-jaga screeched again and narrowed its eyes, glaring daggers at them, daring them to kick another ball.
"I have a feeling that it won't be easy this time," said Takua not liking the look the scorpion gave them.
"Got any better ideas, Takua? Because I don't" Jason shakes her head.
"We get it at the same time," Pohatu said at last. The duo looks up at him.
"How do you propose we do that?" asked Takua.
"Get me a ball, I'll handle the rest." Jason and Takua look at each other and nod. Takua passed a ball to Jason and she passed it to Pohatu. Jason raised an eyebrow as he did a trick professional soccer players would do just before they would with the match. With that last kick, he hit the last pillar. He pumped his fist and smiled victoriously while the other two cheered. The nui-jaga screamed not only because it failed to protect its nest, but also because the roof of the cave was coming down. Takua looks up then at the other two. "We need to get out of here!"
"I couldn't agree more," said Pohatu while picking him up and putting him on his back. Jason let out a squeaky "eep!" as he carried her in his arms and ran up the stairs.
"We need to go faster!" he sad as his mask started to glow a gold color. "Everyone hold on!"
Before Takua knew it, the world around them got blurry; the wind was making his eyes squint. He felt Jason's grip on Pohatu's neck tighten. Soon the world stopped just as fast as it started. Behind them, they could hear the cave crumble never letting any one in again. Slowly, Takua gets off his back and goes in front of him.
"Takua is your rahi friend okay?" asked Pohatu.
Confused he looks at Jason and sees that her eyes were shut tight and it looked like she wasn't going to let go anytime soon.
"Jason, you can let go now. We stopped," coaxed Takua shaking her arm. Jason opens one eye then the other.
"Whoa…that was fast," she said looking around. She then looks up at Pohatu and blinks. Realizing she was still in the toa's arms, she gasped and lets go of him. "I-I'm so sorry!" she gulped, her ears back and looking down at the ground.
Pohatu chuckled, "It is all right, my rahi friend," he said, "It wasn't a problem." He puts her down and looks out into the horizon. "I got my sight back and all is well." He looks back at them, "Both of you were really brave coming out here to figure out what was causing the Matoran to fall ill. I will go on ahead and take care of the infected kohlii balls." The stone toa walks away while calling back, "Farewell my friends and may Mata Nui protect you," and with that he ran off. Jason and Takua watched him go in a blink of an eye. Takua looks up at the fox girl and said, "We better hurry back, its starting to get dark out."
Jason nods and follows him to Po-Koro.
"Takua," said Jason.
"Yes Jason?"
"You didn't answer my question."
Takua looks at her confused, "Oh, and what was that?"
"What is a rahi?"
He stares at her then starts to laugh, followed by Jason. Then she went quiet.
"No, really."
