"So, what do you think dad's doing now?" Waya asked as he spotted a fish swim by his window.

"Dunno," Mizu answered in a bored tone.

Waya turned from the great ocean outside to the foamy-like insides of his bedroom. "You know," he told Mizu, lying on the bed, "you probably should take this more seriously. It's not everyday we get to see a Toa."

Mizu threw his arms up to the ceiling's wavy patterns. "What's the point? We've been stuck here for days! Why talk about the Toa if we can't see him?"

Waya's eyes frowned. "Well, it won't be long until we're not grounded. Then, things will go back to normal..." The younger brother paused and muttered, "... well before you do something crazy again, that is…"

"Yeah right. Like things will get back to normal," Mizu scoffed as he sat up. "I bet you there's something shady with this whole Toa business. We're the first Okotans to see a Toa in five centuries, and we're locked up like prisoners!"

"No, I think that had something to do with the fact that you playing as lightning catchers," Waya said sardonically.

That earned a finger-point from Mizu. "Hey, you came along willingly!"

"No," Waya pointed back, "you dragged me along to go on your crazy adventures like you always do!"

"Not like you had anything better to do!"

"Boys," a third and older voice said from outside the door, "don't make me come in there!"

Hearing the guard waiting outside, Torren's sons stopped. "Yes ma'am!" called a wincing Waya. He quickly glared at Mizu and whispered, "See! Every time this happens, we end up here!"

The older brother crossed his arms, almost pouting to the younger. "Well, nothing good comes out of waiting…"

Tap, tap, tap, tap…

The two looked up, and found the waves in the ceiling's pattern had shifted slightly. Then, one wave - which was a panel in truth - moved to the side, unveiling a mask of a familiar Water Okotan. "Likki?" Waya said, recognizing his brother's partner-in-crime in the ceiling.

"What was that?!" came from outside.

"Nothing! Just my brother tapping at the window!" Mizu called back.

When the guard didn't enter, he and Waya looked back at the open space in the ceiling. Through it, Likki dropped a note of folded leaf. Mizu eagerly picked it up, unfolded it, and quietly read the words to read on it. "'The Toa is back?'"

His eyes bright like lightning, Mizu whirled to Waya. "Do you hear that Waya? He's back! We got a chance to see that Toa again!"

"No, we're not! We're still grounded, remember?" Waya pointed out.

"Yes, but not like dad will ever know about this. We've got a guide of the city with us, after all," Mizu argued, pointing up at Likki.

Waya huffed in response. "Well, we're going to need something even climb up there. I don't think even Likki has that."

As if on cue, Likki dropped an old, but long and sturdy cable from her hole. The bits of fluorescent wiring stuck out when its glowing end landed in front of the two brothers. Seeing it, the older grinned victoriously while the younger sighed in defeat.

AN: What you just read was a little preview for my Bionicle G2 sequel, New Heroes, New Legends. It isn't much, but I do hope it intrigues to read the story. I can't say when the chapters will be posted again, since there are things going on, and my time (and interest) is often directed elsewhere. Until this goes up, take care.

Raika out.
