I
was about to leave the Great Temple when a thought crossed my mind: I
couldn't go out there in my Toa form! Matoran would panic and call
for the Vahki.
Glancing down at my new body, I groaned. Did I look
anything like a Matoran? No.
Concentrating hard on my Matoran
form, I found my body turning back to Hikan, the simple
Ko-Metruan.
"Huh," I murmured, "It looks like I can
transform into things. Maybe this is my power!"
And with that, I stepped outside.
I needed to test my newfound ability, so I looked around for a target. The Le-Metruan tourists from before were admiring the clear water, so I zapped one of them with my staff and picked up his mask. It was a light green Pakari.
I snuck
behind a pillar, took off my own mask, and replaced it with the
Pakari.
Instantly, my body changed to that of Vira the Le-Metruan.
Also, a light green swirl appeared on my left arm.
Feeling
satisfied, I changed back to my original form and went back to the
Coliseum with the Takea shark fins, which I picked up on my way back
to the Chute Station.
Later that day, I decided it was time to
get revenge on Derone and Reka. Running over to her diner, I used an
Akaku to peer inside.
Good. There was only the two of them
there.
Changing my mask to a Miru so Derone wouldn't recognize
me, I walked inside and sat at a table.
When Reka came over, I
asked, "So, how was your date with Derone?"
Reka frowned
and replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."
I
howled with laughter and responded, "You know very well,
Reka."
Then, I transformed into my regular Matoran
form.
Derone went pale with shock and Reka gasped. "H...Hikan?
Is that really you?"
"Who did you think it was?" I
sneered and changed into a Toa.
Derone tried to leave but I
blocked the door. "Do you think I would let you get away that
easily? I'm going to get revenge on you, and you're not going to like
what I have in mind." I grinned wickedly.
"DON'T!"
screamed Reka. "I love him! You're a cruel, inconsiderate
creature, Hikan!"
"Oh, really?" I laughed. "Maybe
you should have thought before cruelly dumping me. You're just as
cold-hearted as the rest of us. Now, stand aside or I'll eliminate
you too."
Fearing for her life, Reka closed her eyes as I
built up the energy in my staff and fired a single deadly bolt at
Derone.
When Reka opened her eyes again, only his mask was left.
I
quickly grabbed the mask and pushed it on. Within minutes, I could
take the form of Derone. An orange swirl appeared on my right
arm.
"Hikan!" screamed Reka. "Bring him back!"
I
hesitated and thought for a while.
"Okay," I said
slowly, "I'll bring him back, on one condition. You must go
straight to Turaga Dume and tell him that Derone was crushed by
Morbuzahk vine. Nobody is to know what happened here."
Reka
blinked back a tear. "I promise," she whimpered.
"Very
well." And with that, I changed back to my Matoran form and left
the diner.
