I'm so sorry that it took me so long to get chapter two up, but this story's plot bunny gave me the intro and then suddenly ran off. Hopefully it won't get away this time.
Chapter 1
Zakia trudged threw the snow trying to keep up with Kopaka. The Toa of Sound had just returned from another of her, world exploring, trips and had decided to pay Kopaka a personal visit; much to the Ice Toa's dismay. As soon as he had learned of her return Kopaka had decided to take a long hike up the slopes of Mount Ihu, hoping it would dishearten Zakia and cause her to leave him alone. It had been two days and so far he had had no luck.
"Hey! Wait up!", Zakia called to Kopaka. The Toa Nuva of ice ignored her as he kept going, he was a loner and didn't like to be around people. Toa Zakia continued after him, but suddenly stopped. As a Toa of sound she could hear many things, even what was going on on the other side of the island. Most of what sure hear was normal. Matoran going along their daily lives, Rahi looking for food; but the sound that had made her stop was none she had heard before. It was a strange whooshing sound which would periodically appear and disappear, only to appear again.
Noticing that he was no longer being followed Kopaka turned to see the Toa Nui of sound standing as still as a statue, starring off into the distance. Walking back towards her, the Toa of ice looked out across Mata Nui out to the seemingly endless ocean. At the moment he could see nothing but he knew something was out there just beyond the horizon of his vision. What he couldn't see, he knew Zakia could hear. All they could do was wait to see what it was that was headed their way.

'Almost there.' Gyrou thought teleporting again. This time when he reappeared he didn't just see the endless blue sea, but something off in the distance. Although it was only a small speck, the lightening Toa knew what it was. 'Thank Mata Nui.' he thought a weary smile on his face. He could feel his energy quickly fading. Before he passed out he put the rest of his energy into teleporting one last time, hoping that it would be enough.

The sound that Zakia heard was finally given a form as a yellow streak appeared over the island. It stayed stationary for a moment before it suddenly began to descend rapidly. Like a golden shooting star, it streaked down from the sky above their head. Kopaka and Zarkia ran over the icy slopes, following after the yellow streak to it's crash site. With nothing to slow his decent, the unconscious Gyrou slammed into the icy ground creating a small crater of rock and snow. The sound and ice Toas cautiously approached the crater, unsure of what they might find. Both were surprised to find two Toas laying unconscious together. The tall male had mostly yellow and gold armor, while the smaller female had pink and white armor. But unlike the gold Toa, the pink one's armor was faded to almost a shade of grey.
"Lets get these two to Ko-Koro. Then go find Turaga Nokama, they will need her healing skills." Kopaka said bluntly as he hefted Gyrou onto his shoulder before turning back towards Ko-Koro. Zakia didn't argue as she picked up Frai and followed after the Toa of Ice.
To be continued.
It's not as long as I'd like it to be but that's all the plot bunny would spit out for now. Hopefully I can get it to give me more for the next chapter. Now to the reviews!
Thanks for the encouragement hordikanui, FightingFox, Dalek Gun07, and CodeLyoko.
I hope I did Zakia justice in this chapter if not just tell me what to change, Zakia.
Again, sorry I took so long VampireArgonian92 and Tahalli.
Thanks for the encouragement Whale Shark 7 and are you gonna start with your story or have you given up doing fan fictions?
Well that's all until next time.
