Chapter Nine:
Cruel Intentions.

Gali smiled as she watched the newly active Lewa bouncing around happily. He had woken up that morning only to be bursting with energy.

"I don't know what you guys did," He said "But I feel great!"

It was still early morning and the Toa had not yet broken camp.

Gali gazed out over the calm ocean waters from her place in the shade of a large tree.

She chuckled as she watched Onua and Lewa get into a splash fight. They were all enjoying their little stay on the beach.

Gali gently fingered her jewel.

She had spent all night thinking about yesterday's happenings.

She had been pondering her new abilities almost endlessly.

"KYA!"

She looked up to see Lewa tackle Onua sending them both into the water. Gali stared at them for a few seconds before bursting into nearly uncontrollable laughter.

They both greatly resembled drowned rats.

Gali leaned back against the tree and clutched at her aching sides.

"Ok Gali it's not that funny." Pohatu said as he came to find out what the other two were doing.

Gali just kept laughing.

Onua shoved Lewa off him and into the water causing the green Toa to yelp like a puppy.

This only made Gali laugh harder.

Pohatu rolled his eyes.

"You guys are nutsy."

Gali lay a hand over her heart and tried to catch her breath.

"Oh, that was hysterical."

"Yeah whatever."

They all looked at Tahu.

He was glaring at the two in the water with barely hidden ferocity.

"Must you act like children?" He asked.

They could tell that he was still sore about Gali giving the shards to Pohatu instead of him.

"Oh leave them alone." Gali said "They're not doing anything wrong."

Tahu grumbled something under his breath.

"So what now fearless leader?" Gali asked.

"We break camp soon." He said without looking at her. "I want to leave this place as soon as possible."

Gali stuck her tongue out at him as he walked away.

Pohatu looked down at her.

"Well that was childish." He said.

Gali stuck her tongue out at him as well causing him to chuckle.

"Has anyone seen Kopaka?" He asked.

"Not since breakfast." Lewa said as he and Onua got out of the water.

"I wouldn't worry about that one." Onua said. "If there's anything he can do, it's take care of himself."

"Yeah." Gali said. "He'll turn up."

~*~

Kopaka sat on the branch of a weeping willow tree, his back up against the trunk. His eyes scanned the jungle for any sign of movement.

He sighed.

"She'll open up when she's ready." He said to himself.

He suddenly heard voices approaching.

He listened closely and realized that they were not the voices of the Toa.

"Are you sure they're this way?"

Kopaka blinked at the sound of the voice.

"Yes Trice."

Kopaka had never heard a name like that before.

"Trust me on this." Said a female voice.

"Why can't we just teleport to them Nirvana?"

"Because." The female voice said. "That would ruin the surprise."

That was enough for Kopaka, he was gone in an instant.

He ran back to the camp as fast as he could.

He found everyone lounging on the beach.

"On your guard!" He called. "We got company!"

~*~

"He took the bait." Trice said.

"Yeah we noticed." Came Linnex's reply.

Trice chuckled evilly.

"This is gonna be fun."

Nirvana conked him on the head.

"Shut up." She growled, baring her fangs. "I'm listening."

Trice glared at her and rubbed at his sore head.

"Let's just do this already." Mirukar said.

They all nodded at him and headed towards the beach where they knew the Toa to be.

~*~

The Toa, upon hearing Kopaka, got ready for battle.

Gali moved among the others as fast as she could. She stopped next to Pohatu.

"The shards. " She said. "Are they safe?"

Pohatu nodded and showed her the bag before hiding it away again.

Gali smiled and went to stand next to Kopaka who hardly acknowledged her presence.

She looked up at him for a second before dropping her gaze. The Toa of Ice hadn't said a thing to her all day. What had she done?

"Here they come." Tahu said.

They all raised their weapons.

"Oh please." Said a sly voice. "Put those down, they won't do anything to us."

The Toa all stood in shock at what they saw.

There were six of them, all a replica of one of the Toa except for the darker colors.

"What the?" Pohatu said as he lowered his hammer.

"More Toa Leyna?" Lewa asked.

"Hardly." Laughed Lewa's replica. "We're the Dark Lords, not some pansy little heroes like yourselves."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Pohatu asked angrily.

"Put simply it means that we're here to destroy you." The red one said. "But first I saw we introduce ourselves. I, for instance, am Linnex, Dark Lord of Fire and all things burning."

The green one stepped up next.

"I'm Trice, Dark Lord of Air and all things growing."

The grey one stepped forward.

"I am Jareth, Dark Lord of Ice and all things freezing."

The Onua replica yawned.

"Seledon, Master of Earth."

The brown one gave a bow.

"I am Mirukar, Dark Lord of Stone."

Out from behind them stepped a woman.

"I am Nirvana," She said in a low seductive voice. " Lady Master of all the Waters."

She stepped right up to Gali and looked her up and down before giving off a snobbish laugh.

"Is this a joke?" She asked. "This little rag doll can't possibly be the Toa of Water."

Nirvana poked Gali in the chest.

"She could at least be well endowed, but look at this! There's hardly anything there!"

Gali stared at the ground, she could feel herself blushing.

Nirvana walked around her.

"She's so disgustingly skinny." She said. " And look at this skin! She's to pale."

Gali closed her eyes in an attempt to remain calm and not lose her temper.

Nirvana stepped away and looked her over again.

"Look at me little girl," She said with a smirk. " Let me see your face."

Gali looked up at Nirvana, her eyes like ice.

"Well there is one good thing about this little rag." Nirvana said.

The Dark Lord approached and looked right into Gali's eyes.

"And what is that Nirvana?" Linnex asked.

"those eyes" She said. "What beauty"

Gali stiffened and stared right back at Nirvana.

Nirvana, seeing Gali's defiance, suddenly smacked Gali hard.

Gali could feel Kopaka stiffen beside her.

Nirvana, noticing it too, turned to say something to him but her words caught in her throat.

She gazed at him in wonder.

"Well now." She said. "This is rather nice."

The Dark Lords all came to look over their counterparts.

Nirvana joined Jareth in gazing at Kopaka.

"Hmm." Jareth said. "I don't see anything to special about him, except for the fact that he's a cold-blooded killer."

"He's gorgeous." Nirvana said dreamily.

Kopaka raised an eyebrow at her.

Jareth looked over to Gali.

"Now that," He said. "Is quite a catch."

He came to look he over.

"I don't see what's so bad about her." He said. "She's beautiful."

Nirvana looked at him as though he were crazy.

"Well," Linnex interrupted. "We only came to visit and leave you a bit of a present."

He turned to Seledon.

"Care to do the honors?"

Seledon nodded and raised his hands into the air.

Seven Nui-Jaga materialized around the Toa.

The Toa all Gathered in a small circle facing outwards toward the Rahi.

Linnex clapped his hands.

"Well done Seledon." He said. "Sadly, we must leave you now dear Toa. Here's to hoping we see you soon."

He clapped his hands once again.

The Dark Lords, except for Seledon, all vanished in a blast of fire.

Seledon ducked into the jungle where he could watch the fight without getting hurt.

The Toa all stood back to back in a fighting stance.

"What do we do?" Onua asked.

"We fight our way through these Rahi than run, we make for Ta-Koro to inform Vakama of this new development." Tahu said.

"For once I agree with Tahu." Kopaka said. "It's the only thing we can do. But there's one problem, once we get through these Rahi, they'll give chase immediately leaving no time to summon up our Kakama's."

"Which means," Pohatu said. "We bolt without using the masks."

"That's crazy." Lewa said. " We'll never out run them."

"We can always try." Onua said.

"Or, One of us can go after Seledon."

"What do you mean Gali?" Tahu asked.

"Why do you think he stayed behind?" Gali said. "He's here to make sure we get destroyed. Without him here those Nui-Jaga would leave us alone. They aren't infected!"

They all looked at the Rahi.

It was true.

None of the giant scorpions wore infected masks.

"He can't control them from far away!" Kopaka said. "He just summoned them up, these Rahi didn't exist till now. That's why they aren't infected. It makes perfect sense."

"It does?" Lewa inquired.

"Never mind." Pohatu said to him.

"You guys deal with the Rahi, I'll go after Seledon." Gali stated.

"Why you?" Onua asked.

"Because I'm more agile than you guys, I can get through the trees faster."

Lewa 'hmmphed'

"Very well," Tahu said. "On my mark….NOW!"

It was then that all the underworld broke loose.

The male Toa all charged into the swarm of Rahi while Gali suddenly shot into the trees after Seledon.

The Dark Lord, Realizing their plan, ran.

Gali chased after him using her agility to keep on his trail.

As she dodged the trees something amazing happened.

The vampire in her took over.

She leapt up into one of the trees with a grace and speed she had never known before and practically ran him down.

She tackled Seledon and pushed him up against a large tree, using her own body to pin him there. He fought her viciously.

Gali blocked all of his attempts to hit her with precise blows of her own.

Seledon was obviously terrified of the fact that she, the only female Toa, Had caught and was overpowering him.

Gali did something then that she would never forgive herself for.

She sank her now longer fangs deep into his neck.

Seledon stiffened and stopped fighting her.

Gali's eyes closed as the sweet metallic tang of his blood flooded her mouth. He swallowed it slowly savoring the warmth of another's blood as it flowed through her.

As she did this, strange images and thoughts filled her mind.

She was learning things about the Dark Lords from his blood!

If heaven existed, this was it.

Gali continued to slowly take Seledon's life's blood, she didn't even notice when one of the Toa found them.

~*~

Kopaka stared at the odd yet strangely beautiful scene that was laid out before him.

Gali and Seledon were pressed tightly up against a tree.

Seledon's eyes her clouded with a strange sort of pleasure, and Gali seemed perfectly calm with her face buried in the crook of Seledon's neck.

Seledon had wrapped his arms about Gali's waist at one point and had held her closer to his neck.

A strange surge of electricity soared through Kopaka's body when he saw this.

So this was what the vampire part of them could do.

He liked it.

He liked it a lot.

"Gali" He said calmly.

The blue Toa's eyes suddenly flew wide and she released Seledon, throwing herself back wards and away from him.

She collapsed to her knees on the forest floor and stared in shock as Seledon slumped to the ground. He was still very much alive, but very weak.

Gali put her fingers to her lips and drew them away, looking at them.

They were stained with blood, Seledon's blood.

The watched as Seledon's unconscious form suddenly faded away.

Gali looked at her bloody fingers again.

She then did the only thing she could think of:

She screamed.

Kopaka covered his ears at the sound of the high pitched noise.

Gali stared at her hands again then felt her fangs, which were back to normal as they had grown longer to pierce the skin.

She was on her feet in an instant, hyperventilating and looking for a way to escape.

Kopaka, noticing this, suddenly grabbed her wrist and hung on just as she was about to bolt.

Gali fought him of course.

"Let me go!" She cried.

Kopaka shook his head and pulled her into his arms in what would have been a loving embrace were she not trying to escape.

"Gali!" He said "Calm down! No one's going to hurt you!"

"No but I might hurt someone!"

"No Gali! You won't hurt anyone! You can control your nature!"

Gali continued fighting him.

Kopaka had no choice.

He pushed her to the ground and pinned her there with his own body.

Gali struggled for a few moments before giving up knowing full well that she couldn't escape.

She lay there beneath him, panting. Tears began to fall from her eyes.

"I didn't mean to do it." She said. " I don't know what came over me."

"Nuju said that the Vampire in us is unpredictable and can take total control at any time." He looked down at her. "It's worse for you because of the fact that you're already screwed up."

Gali looked at him.

"What do you mean by that?" she growled dangerously.

"I mean that your problems sleeping and all that other stuff is making it harder for you to stay in control."

Gali didn't say anything.

Kopaka leaned his head against her chest and listened to her heart beat.

It was wild.

"Now we're not going any where, until you calm down."

Gali ,of course, said nothing.

~*~

One hour later and the two Toa still hadn't moved.

Gali had calmed down a bit but Kopaka still didn't trust her enough to get up.

Neither had been surprised when no one had come to look for them.

Neither one had said anything for a while. They had just laid there.

Kopaka leaned his head against her chest, he had found this awkward position to be rather comfortable actually.

It felt rather nice.

He was glad that her heart had stopped beating so wildly, he had been worried that it would burst.

He could feel Gali pulling lightly again in an attempt to get free. She had done this a few times.

"Give up Gali," he said, breaking the silence. "You're going no where until I say you're good and ready."

"Are all Ko-Koran people this way or is it just you?"

"Just me."

She looked away from him.

"Are all Ga-Korans this stubborn or is it just you?"

"We're all like this."

"Ah, that's just the way I like it."

Gali looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Kopaka looked right back at her.

"I prefer to have someone argue with me than to have someone be passive."

"Oh," Gali said. "So that's why you and Tahu fight."

"No, we absolutely hate each other. That's why we fight."

Gali didn't even look at him.

Kopaka laid his head back down on her chest.

"Why do you keep doing that?" Gali asked.

"Doing what?"

"Laying your head on my chest like that, I'm not a pillow you know."

Kopaka shrugged.

"It's comfortable. And besides." He poked one of her breasts lightly. "Could have fooled me."

"If I could use my arms, I would smack you."

Kopaka chuckled and tightened his grip on her wrists.

"Not a chance."

Gali sighed.

Kopaka smirked and nuzzled the crook of her neck gently.

A shiver went up her spine involuntarily. He smirked even more at having found a weak spot.

"I take it you like that." He said.

"Don't even go there." Gali warned.

"Too late."

Kopaka did it again this time blowing a small about of cold air across her neck.

Gali shivered again.

"Stop it." She said.

"If you really wanted me to, I would."

Gali struggled weakly to break free.

Kopaka smirked and bit down ever so gently on the crook of her neck.

Gali suddenly went limp. She lay there, her eyes closed and her eyelids fluttering lightly. Her lips were parted a bit and she was blushing a tad too.

He had found it, her weak spot.

He was about to do it again when,

"Kopaka!"

Kopaka sighed angrily, it was Lewa.

Why did people always have to interrupt him when he was learning?

Kopaka crawled off Gali and gently picked her up.

The blue Toa was still off in her own little world.

"Kopaka! Gali!"

"Coming!" Kopaka called back.

~*~

Nirvana gazed into the small crystal ball that stood on the table in mild wonder. She had seen the whole thing.

After meeting with the Toa she had returned to the Bahrag lair to ponder her counterpart. The Toa of Water was a bit of a rag doll but there were things about her that made Nirvana's head spin.

"Those eyes," She mumbled to herself. "I've never seen such eyes."
