Vakama looked down at the city of Metru-Nui. He remembered the moments of when he was a Toa and a Matoran. As a Matoran, meeting with Toa Lhikan and chatting about the days work. And as a Toa, fighting off the Vahki. Vakama sighed, those were the days. It felt good to be back in his home city. Dume had been reawakened, and the Rahaga helped him rebuild a good portion of the city. Smaller repairs were being made, soon, the city would be back to its original glory. He was brought out of his musings as he heard footsteps come from behind him. He looked towards the door, smiling slightly. The Toa Nuva had brought the 'humans' at last. Limping slightly to the door, began to open the door as voices were heard.
"Maroon, blue, green, black, red, tan, brown, purple!" A female voice sounded, followed by sounds of stifled laughter.
"Ease up Tahu….. You're just mad that she's winning." Came the Toa of Stone's voice, chuckling. Opening the door, he saw that the Spirit of Fire was having a stare down with a Spirit of Psionics. The female had a stern look on her face, but it changed to a grin.
"Yellow." She proclaimed, and Tahu gave her the death glare. Vakama gave a small cough to gain everyone's attention. Four of the newer Toa gasped, looking surprised, two of them tilted their head and blinked, while the last one smiled and waved slightly. A Vo-Toa looked at him with big eyes.
"He's so cute!" She blurted, grinning. The Ce-Toa looked at the Vo-Toa and smiled sheepishly. "But it's true…." The light blue Toa said, frowning at the other one. More giggling was heard in the background. Vakama then spotted the white and red female Toa.
"Forgive me for asking, but may I ask what your element is?" Vakama asked the Toa. She blinked as she registered what he said, then shrugged.
"Fire, Turaga Vakama. I saw it myself." Kopaka answered for the white Toa. The other Toa, clearly a Toa of Time, turned and glared.
"He wasn't askin' you, Frosty." She said, eyes narrowed. Before the two could advance at each other, the smaller blue gold Ce-Toa stepped in.
"Jessie, nothing rash." She said firmly, looking once again stern.
"Sydney's right. C'mon, lovebirds, break it up." The black and grey Toa in the back said jokingly as the two Toa kept glaring at each other. At the Shadow Toa's statement, the two looked at him with startled looks. 'Jessica', looked at him with wide eyes. Kopaka glared at him. 'Sydney' looked like she was trying very hard not to laugh.
Vakama chuckled as he watched the group's antics, with their actions reminding him of when he was on a team. Gesturing for them all to come in, he took to the head of the circle, while the Toa Nuva took their places, the other Toa looked around nervously. Sydney whimpered slightly, eyes flickering around the room. The bronze one noticed this and placed her hand on the Ce-Toa's shoulder.
"Its ok, Sydney, we're all safe here." She assured the smaller Toa, who nodded in response.
"Turaga Vakama, here's the six Toa that you sent us for." Tahu said as he gestured to the Toa in front of him, then sneered at the black Toa in the back. "Along with the Kra-Toa." Sydney's eyes narrowed at Tahu's statement, and three cushions whacked him upside off the head. Jessica laughed.
"Dude…. seriously? Continue that and Sydney might start chucking stuff at you!"
"But…. I didn't throw those, Jessie…." Sydney said, sounding very confused.
"Methinks that we have a Kanohi Matatu in our midst." The Kra-Toa quipped as he looked around the room with a look of concentration on his face.
"But our masks would be glowing….. Wouldn't they?" She asked, trying to think.
"Wait, our face-masks glow?" The Vo-Toa asked, looking at Sydney. The Toa tried to make herself look smaller, as if she wasn't comfortable with the question. Suddenly, she faded from view. All eyes widened at the spot where she was vanished from.
"W-w-what?" Sydney asked, scared. "D-d-did I do something?"
"Well," The Kra-Toa said as he looked at where Sydney disappeared, then lifted his hand up and waved it. "Can you tell me what I just did?"
"A-a-ah, don't do that, that bugs my eyes." Came the reply.
"Holy shit. Syd's invisible!" Jessica cursed, shaking her head.
"I actually doubt that." Michael said as he walked over to where Jessica had stood. "Since she was bothered with the wind and was trying to make herself as small as possible, I suspect that she actually has the Kanohi Pehkui and shrunk herself. Of course, I could be wrong."
"Sydney, where are you?" The white Toa said, blue-green eyes squinting. "Well I don't see her."
"I'm still next to Amanda….. OHMYGOD WHERE'D MY HANDS GO?!" She squeaked. There was a thump, then Sydney came back into view on the floor, looking startled. She blinked again, looking confused. Tahu glowered at the Shadow Toa.
"Looks like you were wrong." Another cushion hit him.
"So? Everyone's wrong at one point or another." The Kra-Toa replied nonchalantly. Vakama smiled, and chuckled.
"So it appears the same mask I wore as a Toa, has another user." He said with content. "And Toa of Shadow, it appears your friend is a Psonic Toa. Mind control, telepathy, telekinesis, and the ability to manipulate emotions are their powers, and are shielded from other's mental influences." He told the Kra-Toa, nodding sagely. The other Toa "oohed" at the little lesson that he had given.
"Turaga. May I ask this? Why does Emilee have the ability over Fire?" Gali asked him
Also, why is it that her color 'outfit' is different than the usual Ta-Toa colors? Michael thought as he stared at Emilee. After all, if she was just a Toa of Fire, shouldn't she have just red and black?
"Maybe she's just a little to 'icy' to be those colors… She kinda has the same personality as Frostbite over here." Jessica stated, gesturing to Kopaka.
Lewa chuckled as he watched Kopaka's eyes widen and the Toa of Ice turned to face Emilee. "Looks as though we've sought-found a Toa for you to teach in her life-dawn. This is definitely turning out to be a happy-luck day!"
"Shut up, Lewa." Both of the white Toa said.
"Jinx!" Sydney and Amanda said, now laughing.
"Sister, this is ever-funny! I like air-brother!" Amanda quipped, giggling.
Vakama smiled at the gleeful attitude that was beings in the air and lightning. "If that's the case, perhaps you could ask for him to help you train you in your powers. That way, you'd be able to spend more time with him." Vakama stated, seeing the joy light up in the two Toa's eyes. Immediately, the two dashed out of the room, with Lewa giving a hint that he'd teach Amanda how to "wind-fly".
"Wait, if Kopaka and Lewa each took on one of the new Toa to train, does this mean that we'll have to also?" Onua asked as the remaining four Toa Nuva looked at the five other Toa in the room. The five Toa started to fidget slightly. Michael hung his head a little, which caused Sydney to frown and hug him, muttering and telling him to stop beating himself up. Vakama had a strange feeling about those two Toa. Tahu's eyes widened as he jumped up.
"We are not going to train that Kra-Toa!" He shouted, pointing at Michael. Jessica and the bronze Toa glared and was about to advance on him, when Sydney flung out her hands, causing Tahu to sit down hard.
"Tahu Nuva! I will not accept this behavior to my friend! It's not his fault the Makuta took over him! It's not his fault that he couldn't control his behavior or choose what element he got!" She shouted, flinging her hands into the air. "And you know what! He was here! In the same room as Michael! Trying to get him back!" All eyes were on Sydney and Michael, who didn't look very surprised at this. "If I wasn't in there, Makuta would have gotten him back! So fuck off!" Silence filled the room as Sydney stood there, fuming. Jessica looked at the bronze Toa, who stood there baffled at this.
"Is this… true, Michael?" Gali asked, looking shocked at Sydney.
"To be honest, I'm not sure." Michael said as he shrugged his shoulders. "But… Sydney did start to have a bad dream." He admitted. Vakama narrowed his eyes.
"Michael, you don't mind if Sydney stays near you, in cause if something did happen?" Vakama asked him.
"Well, if Sydney's OK with it..." Michael said as he looked at Sydney and awaited her response. Sydney looked down, as if to hide her face.
"If it'll help, then sure." She mumbled, still looking down. Tahu didn't seem to impressed with this, but Pohuta stood up and nodded.
"If Sydney and her friends accept Michael, so do I." He said, and walked over to him. "Sorry about before.."
"Hey, everyone has the right for opinions." Michael said, then held his hand out. "So, peace?"
"Peace, brother." Pohuta said, grinning and taking his hand to shake it. Sydney looked up and smiled at Pohuta.
"So. Who wants to train?" Onua asked, giving a small smile. The five new Toa looked at each other, then looked at the Toa Nuva.
"I'm in." Jessica said.
"Same here!" Said the Toa of Iron, grinning wildly.
"Is it safe though?" Bleeped the bronze Toa. Sydney and Michael looked at her.
"Kasey…. From what we've just gone through…" Sydney started, shaking her head.
"And your worried if it's not safe?" Michael finished, raising an eyebrow. Kasey shrugged.
"Better safe than sorry." Kasey said, shrugging.
Pohatu looked back at Tahu, who was glaring daggers into the back of Michael's head. The 7 humans were back in their normal forms and exchanging stories, and paying no attention to the elder Toa led them to the arena.
"Tahu…. I don't think the kid's that bad." Potahu said, as he slowed down his pace to match his fire brother.
"Doesn't mean that he'll turn on us." He growled, fiery eyes still narrowed.
"Brother, you must calm down!" Pohatu said as he grabbed Tahu's arm. "Your anger is only blinding you from what the others can clearly see!" Tahu glared at the Stone Toa, but stopped glaring at Michael. Gali had heard Pohatu's attempt to calm Tahu, and looked at Michael.
"Be careful around Tahu…. He's not very happy about us training you." She whispered to him. Sydney looked fearfully at Tahu, then back to Michael, and asked quietly;
"He doesn't scare you?"
Michael shook his head. "He's only acting this way because he's afraid, and thus acting with little logic and is trying to make me afraid of him to assert his 'dominance'. Because I know this, I'll just shrug it off like water." He then turned to Gali. "No offense meant, of course."
"None taken, Michael." She replied, nodding at him. She was surprised that he said that. Maybe it was right for those two to be close. Sydney was never really one to stand up for herself, but wasn't afraid to stand up for others as Gali recalled. "And Michael." She whispered again, only more softly so the Psonic Toa couldn't hear. "Make sure Sydney doesn't do anything stupid to stand up for you." Michael blushed slightly at both the proximity and what Gali told him, but nodded nonetheless.
"Hey guys, I think that Kopaka and Lewa are up ahead!" Kasey said, pointing to an exit. Sure enough, Kopaka and Lewa were standing there along with Emilee and Amanda, who were chatting.
"Bog-footed today?" Lewa asked, grinning slyly at the others. Onua chuckled at this, as Jessica glared at The Toa of Air.
"Not as slow as you brother." He retorted. The girls laughed as Lewa made a face, ego slightly bruised. Kasey looked out at the arena, surprised at the size of it.
"Dang… we get to train here?" She asked, turning to Pohuta; who grinned at her reaction to the arena, and nodded.
"Yeah, games are also played here, and important announcements are told here. The Matoran sit in the stands during the games and or the announcements." He explained to the new Toa, whose light blue eyes seemed to take in the sight. Jessica looked back at Emilee and Amanda.
"What do you think of these guys? Can we trust them?" She asked quietly. Both Emilee and Amanda nodded.
"I think they're sure-fine. Especially Air-brother. Fire-spitter not sure about. Stone-brother is like a brother, Earth-brother is the same way." Amanda said, her accent making her word-play sound amusing.
"I have to agree with Amanda on this one. Kopaka is cool, but he usually keeps himself. Gali I think is very nice." Emilee agreed, nodding at Amanda's statement. "And where did you pick up the wordplay?" Amanda shrugged, then grinned.
"I quick-learn from Lewa." She replied, green eyes bright. Jessica chuckled at this and stood up, leading her two friends to the others, who were waiting patiently for their instructions. Mark was telling Kasey, Sydney and Michael how he arrived into Metru Nui.
".. I never thought I'd see a live Rahkshi in the store at the time. People were freaking out because the bloody thing was knocking down the selves. Never ran so fast in my life.." He said, shaking his head. Sydney and Kasey stared at him wide eyed.
"There were five at our school, and we were trapped in a room." Kasey said, looking to Sydney who was nodding her head vigorously.
"I was in the science lab working on my latest project when I got knabbed by the Heat Vision Rahkshi." Michael added, then started rubbing his chin as his face turned pensive. "Now that I think about it, it came in with me, so it should still be somewhere in the Archives. I'll have to go look for it later."
"Wait, after school yesterday?" Sydney asked him, looking at Michael, who blinked at her and nodded slightly. "Michael…. What day do you think it is? Our universe wise." Sydney asked quietly.
"Today? Well, if we include the week that I was 'mentally impaired' by Makuta, then I'd saaay… March 21st." Sydney blinked and made a little meep.
"Mike….. You've been gone for two weeks. Sydney had a heck of a time to get her mom to let her stay after school to study with us after you vanished." Kasey said, looking wide eyed at him. Jessica looked at Michael, hoping that he wasn't entirely confused about this.
"Hate to admit it Mike…. But Kasey's right. It's been two weeks."
Mike's face turned pale as he realized how long he had been gone, then sat down as he felt his legs weaken. "If it's true that I was gone for two weeks when I thought it was just one, then who knows how long we'll really be gone if every two days here is one day on Earth?"
"Good grief, I don't dare think about it." Mark muttered looking around.
"OK, listen up you seven! Today is day one in Toa training!" Tahu called over the conversation. The teens scrambled to near Tahu to hear him. "The first thing we need to know is your elemental capability. Amanda, what do you remember when you fought the Rahkshi?" Amanda looked at the others, then realised that she had to answer it.
"Umm…. I made a sky-quake?... Then lightning shock-hit it…" Amanda said quietly, looking confused. Tahu nodded.
"Did you feel anything before you used your power?" Amanda nodded. Then Gali spoke up.
"We want all of you to try to try and bring out your element." Everyone looked at each other, then looked back at the Toa. Gali gestured for them to give it a go. Jessica sighed, then closed her eyes and started to concentrate. A sudden flow of power filled her mind and body. When she opened them, Jessie looked shocked at the swirling vortex that wrapped around her body.
"Time.." She breathed, touching the vortex, causing it to dissipate. Amanda had done the same thing, only sparks of lightning flickered around her body, causing a couple of others to jump back to avoid getting shocked. Kasey flinched suddenly, causing Onua to look at her.
"Something wrong?" He asked, looking confused.
"Everything got very loud all of a sudden….. I can hear things outside of the Coliseum." She admitted, tilting her head this way and that. There were startled yelps. Mark and Sydney had been close to Emilee when her body was engulfed in flames, none in which seemed to harm her.
"Wow….. This is awesome.." Emilee said in awe, looking at her fire laden arm. Sydney recollected herself and looked at Emilee.
"Your the 'Human Torch', Emilee! Now you just need to be able to fly." Sydney joked. Emilee gave a look at Sydney, but she smiled and shook her head. Mark, who seemed to be having a little bit of trouble, then noticed bits of iron raising from the ground around him.
"Hmm…. may explain the colors in your Toa form." Kopaka muttered as the bits of iron returned to the ground. Mark chuckled as he used his powers again to lift a piece of iron up to his eye level, then grabbed it and crushed it in his hand, making a small iron ball. Everyone looked at Michael and Sydney. Sydney was looking around nervously.
"Sydney, Michael? Will you try it?" Pohatu asked kindly, encouraging the two. Sydney blinked.
"Someone is watching us…." She said, still looking around. "From where, I don't know…. But it doesn't feel right."
"Agreed." Michael added as he began fidgeting nervously and picked up his Kanoka launcher. "It feels almost like… him."
"Awww. Is the Shadow Toa and the Psonic Toa scared?" Came a voice, dripping in sarcasm. The Toa jumped as the voice came out of nowhere, and Michael slammed a random Kanoka disk in his launcher and began turning sharply as he tried to find the voice's source. "Where are you? WHERE ARE YOU, DAMNIT!"
"Right here." Sydney froze, eyes wide with fear, seeing a Makuta before her, "My my, aren't you an interesting looking Toa." He said, green eyes locking with Sydney's terrified brown ones.
"Makuta!" Tahu growled as he drew his fire swords and charged at the Makuta. The Makuta smirked, then lifted his hand up and a wall of darkness rose up in between the Toa Nuva of Fire and himself. Tahu was still going too fast and slammed into the wall with a crunch, then he fell down.
"So you're the human who humiliated my father. Not impressed, I must say for myself. I expected you to be fearless, and not to mention bigger." He continued, staring at the Toa of Psonics.
"Sydney! MOVE!" Jessica cried out to her friend.
"Oh I doubt that, the girl is simply stunned to see me." The Makuta mocked as he flicked his hand and Michael was sent spinning into the wall. Sydney screamed, and tried to reach out to Michael, only to be grabbed.
"You made my father look like a fool! And I'm here to correct that. The name is Ruunaja. Never forget that, Watson. It'll be the last name you remember." He hissed, twisting her arm.
"Oi, Ruin-A-Jar!" Michael's voice shouted. Ruunaja turned his head with anger on his face towards Michael when he was hit full in his face by an arm of shadow, causing for him to let go of Sydney's arm and be knocked back a few feet. The others looked at Michael to see that he was in his Toa form and tendrils of shadow were coming off of his fingers onto a yellow-eyed limber humanoid figure with two antennae off of it's head. Michael twitched his hands, and the figure ran in front of Sydney. Sydney blinked at it, confused. But her look hardened, and glared at Ruunaja.
"Ruuna-ja, or however you pronounce that name of yours. Leave. Us. ALONE!" Sydney had pulled back her arms and blasted the Makuta with a power blast. The Makuta flew into the far wall, then laid there for a few seconds before he got back up and glared at the group of Toa in front of him.
"This isn't the last time you've seen me, and besides, mission accomplished." Ruunaja said, pointing upwards. Kasey heard what sounded like shattering glass, and looked up. Six streaks of green, blue, black, tan, white, and red suddenly were seen as they blasted towards their represented Metrus and a lone figure entered the arena. Sydney squinted and gasped.
"N-Noah!" The teenager looked at Sydney and grinned.
"Hey, what can I say, that was fun." Noah said, his Kanoka launcher on his shoulder, poking his glasses back up his nose. Jessica growled, and Amanda looked worried at the now fading streaks.
"Well done, Noah! You seem more, willing to do this." Ruunaja said gesturing to the fading streaks. "At least the Turaga won't be a problem anymore." Both Mark's and Michael's eyes widened as they realized what was happening, and Michael swore under his breath while Mark shouted out, "Bloody Makuta!" and continued to mutter under his breath about something.
"No…. then that was…" Sydney started, hand over her mouth. Noah's grin widened.
"The Turaga Metru, gone out with a bang, huh?" He said, waving slightly. Ruunaja teleported to Noah's side.
"And you, Michael, are obsolete now. Hope you enjoy your stay." He said, giving a mock bow, and teleporting himself and Noah out of the Coliseum. Tahu had gotten back up and swore.
"Now what! The Turaga are go-!" Before he could finish, Sydney stopped him by raising her hand.
"They're not dead…" She said, looking skyward. Everyone looked oddly at her. Michael went over to Sydney and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"What do you mean?" He asked her calmly. She looked up at him.
"Riddle me this, what comes before the elder?" Was her answer. Everyone stared blankly at her, trying to comprehend what she had said.
"... The man?" Mark guessed as Sydney grinned shyly.
"And what were they before they became Turaga?" Jessica face palmed.
"Of course… Toa… Syd why are you so cryptic sometimes?"Jessica asked Sydney, who's grin grew wider. "And I have a feeling of what we are going to do for the rest of the day as well…" She said, shaking her head.
"Hope you're right, kinda don't want a wild goose chase." Emilee muttered, loosening her stance.
"A few quick questions," Michael said as he raised his hand. " but one, who will be going with who, and two, if there was only six streaks, and there are seven Turaga, then where's the seventh Turaga?" The Toa Nuva looked at each other. Then Tahu stepped forward.
"We'll look for Turaga Dume first. Then divide into teams to find the others." He stated, looking at the younger Toa. Amanda then flung her arms into the air.
"Scavenger-find hunt!" The others laughed, and Emilee bolted to the entrance.
"Last one in is Makuta bones!" She cried out. The other teens scrambled after her.
"Not going to happen to me!" Michael replied as he sped past Kasey and Mark. Mark shook his head and started to chuckle, as the teens raced to the entrance.
"Lot of energy those kids got…" He said to Onua, who walked beside him.
"Agreed there." He said, watching the teens disappear into the Coliseum.
Soon, the rooms of the inner Coliseum were filled with voices, searching for Turaga Dume. Jessica, Emilee and Amanda were the whirlwinds of the group, quickly opening the door and scanning the room, then closing it, calling out to the other Turaga of Fire.
"Anyone find Turaga Dume yet?" Kopaka asked as he and Pohatu bumped into Mark and Onua. Mark shook his head, again in Toa form. Kasey poked her head out from behind a door.
"Sydney, Michael and Amanda are checking the rooms upstairs… But we haven't heard anything yet from them." She told them, looking a little discouraged. Emilee came around the corner and also shook her head. Then, two squeals and what sounded like a book being abused came from upstairs. "Ummm… is that normal for that to happen?" Kasey asked quietly. Michael poked his head around the corner.
"Sydney and Amanda found him…. He wasn't too happy when Amanda suddenly opened the door while he was doing his paperwork…" He said, pointing over his shoulder.
Pohatu chuckled as he imagined what had happened. "Yeah, that sounds like Turaga Dume." Once they reached his 'office', Amanda was sitting outside looking a bit shocked at the book on the floor.
"I nearly got hit-smacked by that.." She muttered, pointing at it. Mark kneeled down beside her.
"Hope you learned something from this.." He scolded lightly, tapping Amanda on the mask. A cough took the attention away from this as the group turned to face a black and red Turaga sitting at a desk.
"Turaga Dume." Kopaka said as he and the other Toa Nuva kneeled in front of him. The other seven Toa quickly followed example and were soon kneeling. Sydney, who had already been in there, nodded to Dume, who then spoke.
"Is what I am hearing from Sydney true?" He asked, sounding a little shaky. Kasey looked nervously at the others, hoping for a little help to tell what had happened.
"Yes, Turaga Dume." Michael said in a business tone. "It happened about an hour ago, when the Toa Nuva," he gestured to the mentioned Toa, "were taking us to the Coliseum to help us train." As he continued to tell more of the story, with Jessica filling in some bits and pieces that he missed, Turaga Dume's expression became more and more grave.
"Sydney does have a theory, though." Michael said as he finished the report, then gestured to Sydney as a cue for her to begin speaking.
"When Noah came out of the Coliseum, there were six different colors, heading to each Metru. I guess you could say I felt someone was inside each of those balls of color." She said looking down slightly. "I have a feeling that they hoped that the Turaga Metru were killed. But instead, unintentionally changed them back into their Toa forms." She concluded.
"As far-fetched as it sounds…. It's the only theory we've got." Tahu said darkly. Turaga Dume stared at Sydney for a few seconds, making her flinch a little, then stood.
"If that's true, then suggest that the each of the Toa Nuva take one of the new Toa and search for the six Turaga." He said, then looked at Tahu sternly. "However, due to the altercations I've heard about, I'll be picking the pair at random." Jaws dropped at the Turaga's proclamation. Amanda gave a small meep. Sydney awkwardly started to fidget. Jessica looked around the room, nervous as well.
"Umm… and if we object the decision?" Jessica asked daringly. Turaga Dume turned to her and gave her a hard stare, causing for her to flinch involuntarily. "Understood." She squeaked. Sydney laughed nervously, a little amused that her hotheaded friend looked scared, but mostly felt bad for her.
"But I wanted to go with Air-brother….." Amanda murmured, looking sullen. Dume didn't seem to notice that comment, and began to list of the teams.
"Lewa and Mark, you'll go to Le-Metru." Both Mark and Lewa looked at each other, and nodded. "Takanuva and Amanda, you will assist Lewa and Mark in their search." Amanda grinned and high-fived Lewa. "Pohatu and Sydney, you'll be heading to Po-Metru." Sydney tilted her head and smiled.
"Cool, will get to see some carvings there."
"Kopaka and Kasey, you'll be heading to Ko-Metru."
"Oh joy…. the cold…" Kasey said, and shivered.
"Gali and Jessica, you two are going to Ga-Metru." Jessica nodded, not saying a word.
"Onua and Emilee, you will be going to Onu-Metru." Emilee nodded, but then paled.
"Then that means…" She started. Everyone looked at Michael and Tahu.
"Oh, snap." Sydney said, eyes widening. Tahu's eyes widened as well. Michael's face became emotionless and he put his face in his hands. "I should've seen it when he mentioned the altercations." Sydney stood up and face Turaga Dume.
"Please sir, Tahu… Strongly dislikes Michael, couldn't he go with someone-" She stopped dead as the Turaga gave her a very stern look. Sydney meeped and moved away, looking down. Turaga-elder glares are scary….. Amanda thought, looking over at Sydney and Jessica. Turaga Dume looked at the two teams of Toa, and nodded. The hunt had began.
Toa-of-Spirit: Uggghhh… lotta chapters and time going into this… and I need to work on other stories too….. TT^TT
Michael: Really? Well, that sounds good to me! Also, just WHY did you put me with Tahu?
Toa-of-Spirit: You two need to get along….. and it was sorta Thanatos's idea, too. So suck it up, we all have to deal with things like this.
Michael: You don't say… *turns to Thanatos's* Well, I know who I'm pranking next. *Pulls out Kool-Aid powder and water balloons.
Toa-of-Spirit: Dude…. don't…. Do you not remember what he did to Tahu for ruining his anime collection?
Michael: Who did you he think enlisted for help?
Toa-of-Spirit: Srsly!? He had an epic collection of Fullmetal Alchemist! How could you!?
Michael: … I meant Thanatos's, not Tahu. Speaking of which, I need to set up our new 'coat hanger'.
Toa-of-Spirit:... oh… and please not the coat hanger near the door… that was horrible on my hair.
Emilee: Not to mention mine!
Michael: *Turns to Pohatu* You think that after they saw that you were the 'chandelier' and Lewa was a cup holder for a week, they'd catch on by now.
Emilee: *starts chasing Michael, hurling fireballs at him.*
Toa-of-Spirit:... ok.. Well then…. Will Michael and Tahu become friends? or will have to face the trial of fire? Will they also find Vakama before an old enemy of his finds him? Stay tuned!... Oi…. Thanatos's…. what are you doing?
Thanatos's Scribe: *Works frantically with a Kanohi crafting kit, then looks around frantically* Oh, Toa-of-Spirit! *nervously chuckles* You haven't seen Michael around, have ya?
Toa-of-Spirit: He's putting up a new 'coat hanger'. If you know what I mean.
Thanatos's Scribe: Ok, he'll most likely busy setting Tahu up for an hour or so, so I should have enough time to make that Olmak. So, if you need me, I'll be hiding in the basement. *Runs off*
Toa-of-Spirit:... Maybe I shouldn't put these in the later chapters if this continues…. *face palms*
