Battle for the Mask of Life

LEGO BIONICLE Bionicle Quest #1 Battle for the Mask of Life By KopakaMata97

Introduction
In the time before time, near the island of Mata Nui, the Toa Mahri searched for the Mask of Life. The mask was hidden by in the Dark Lands by Makuta. Most Barraki lost the Mask of Life.

== Chapter 1 Toa Terrain Crawler Assault == The Toa Mahri approached Liagaona City, the portal to Barraki as it was more commonly known. Jaller was piloting the crawler with a good bit of skill. He had been trained by a Rahaga before he left, Rahaga Norik to be exact. “We’ve come close to the landing point.” announced Jaller on the overhead radio. Most of the Toa were used to the cold water hitting them in the face as they landed, yet three of them did not. Kongu, Jaller, and Hewkii hated the feeling, especially Hewkii. When he was Matoran, he didn’t know how to swim, yet now he must do it every day. “Hahli, quick grab a Cordak Blaster and go!” Kongu howled. Now everyone had a weapon. Water filled the crawler. When the door opened, the six Toa heroes swam out. Jaller launched one bullet at a Barraki Scout. “That’s probably not the only one!” yelled Jaller. Hahli dodged a Tridon Explosive Pod, a bomb used to launch and explode into several sharp needles. Two more scouts fought the Toa. The fight went on for minutes. “It seems like they’re never gonna stop!” yelled Nuparu. Jaller was hit by a Barraki Squanda, a special breed of squid with poisons coating on it’s skin, which only harms the Toa. “Jaller, are you alright!?” yelled Kongu. Jaller couldn’t survive the brain messages that the Squanda was sending him. Kongu pulled Jaller’s dying body on his lap. Jaller spoke very little. ‘Kongu, search for the…Mask…Life…without me.” Jaller tried to breathe. Kongu was very sad and he was trying to hold back tears. Matoro came over to see what he could do. “We need the tentacle of a squid to save poor Jaller.” Matoro ran to get a fallen squid from the surprise attack. The it’s body had turned soft from the hard landing. Matoro used his hand knife to cut off one of the tentacles. He put it on Jaller’s mask. Jaller began to move and lifted his body upwards. “Thank you, Great Matoro of the Toa Mahri. I wouldn’t be alive without you.” Hahli noticed the emerald path to Liagaona City. It was bright compared to the darkness of Mahri Nui, the place they were at. “Kongu, here is the Portal to the Barraki. Hahli must get as much ammo for her Cordak Blaster as possible.” Hewkii instructed.

== Chapter 2 Portal to the Barraki ==

The city of gold shimmered in the light. An ancient guard protected the city. There had been no war there for one-hundred years. King Whkishava was a villager Po-Koro when he was young and only wanted safety and happiness for his people. He was about one-hundred-fifty years old. The Triangos, or what ever the king called his people, had lived there all of their lives. For four-hundred years the city was around. No one had ever heard of the Toa Mahri, or any Toa at all for that matter. The king was old and dying. Most of the Triangos feared the day they heard the guard come and say, “Sadly, the day has come. King Whkishava of the Po-Koro has died.” But, the legend of Baruth said a young hero would come to save the city of death of a king. Most all the legend was true, but one part seemed to stick out to Nuparu. The mysterious heroes will have a wounded friend, JALLER! How could a four-hundred year old legend have something so true? It was a mystery. The shining city became the least known city near the island of Mata Nui. The guard walked back and forth. His staff had shown great power and his mask was once a bright shimmering red but now was dark red from so much action from the last battle of Uruga. He noticed the approaching Toa Mahri. “Who are you?” the guard asked. “We are the Toa Mahri.” Hahli answered. “Why are you here, Toa Mahri?” the guard said in a curious tone. “To try and get to the Portal of the Barraki.” Hahli answered again. She said nothing about the Mask of Life because she didn’t want any more enemies than they already had. The guard let them go through. The giant gate lifted up high in the sea. Kongu looked around for any Barraki. All clear! he thought. Two villagers of the city looked at the Toa. No one knew of these heroes. One green masked Triango looked at Hahli carefully, especially her blue mask with great interest. “Young thing, I must have your mask!” Hahli knew this Triango would be a dangerous threat. So, Hahli took out her Cordak Blaster. “Don’t make me fire!” the female Toa said. The enemy walked away. The other Triango looked at the Toa. “Ah, I can see you are warriors. I will take you to the king, anyways, who are you?” “We are the mighty Toa Mahri.” Kongu proudly said. The Triango didn’t speak for one minute. “Toa? Some how I knew about them!” The creature had known of the Toa Mahri? How could this be? Hahli spoke with shock. How could a Triango know? The people of Liagaona City knew nothing of the Toa. The king didn’t even allow his people to know about other warriors besides Barraki and his own. The Triango didn’t tell the king of this knowledge. “My name is Unoi.” He said. “I’ve been an adventurer for most of my life.” He continued. Unoi traveled through the city as well. “The king is in that tall tower.” Unoi said. “It’s almost above the water!” Hewkii commented. “You must go on your own. I must go back now.” Unoi said. Hahli walked closer to the building.

== Chapter 3 The King ==

“Stairs!!!” said Hewkii. The six Toa climbed up. Once they were at the top, the dying king greeted them. “Ah, young warriors, why do you travel so far through my city?” Kongu couldn’t tell the truth about why they were going there. “We’re going to see our relatives in the city near the Dark Lands.” Kongu said. The lie he made worked. “Warriors, one of you must stay and become king.” “No.” said Kongu. “We will not become king. We are going to see our relatives and that’s final!” the king sat in his throne, upset and miserable. “For once we may not have a king.” King Whkishava moaned. The guards rushed into the room. “King, what is the matter?” asked a tall guard. “The warriors chose not to be king!!! Guards, get them!” The Toa grabbed their Cordak Blasters and shot the guards. One guard dodged a bullet and took out his sword and fighting staff. Jaller, scarred at the chest, ran up to the guard. He fought with the sword Mata Nui, the ancient spirit, gave him. With a sword and Cordak Blaster in his hands, he slashed and shot at the guard. The guard revealed his identity. His name was Mogatha. Jaller couldn’t keep the other sword away much longer. “We are Toa!!!” Jaller yelled with a burst of strength. He used the strength to punch, slash, and shot the guard to his death. The king was angered at this. “Ah, Jaller, you might be able to defeat my guards, but how about… me?” Jaller prepared every one for the attack. “Now I will kill you, one by one!!!” The king echoed. “Three defense, three attack!” commanded Kongu. The king came closer and closer. “Defense, FIRE!” The defense shot at the king. “Attack, FIRE!” Attack Toa fired from behind the defense Toa. A few shots later, the king was dead. “We won!!!” Hahli cheered. “But what about the others, they all have weapons and once they hear about the king, they might battle us!!!” Kongu said. “You’re right, Kongu.” Hewkii said. “We must not tell.” The Toa climbed down the stairs. “The land of Barraki is near.” Kongu said. Matoro pointed to a strange portal door. Nuparu said, “Toa, this is the portal to the Barraki we’ve been searching for. We made it, now we just have to survive the land of the Barraki then the Dark Lands.” Three Toa looked at the sight of the portal. “We must go in.” Kongu instructed. Jaller, being the most beat up, went in first. He read a sign saying BEWARE on it. “Toa, be very careful.” Jaller said in a very nervous tone. A strange glow started to fill up the area. Kongu took out his Cordak Blaster.

== Chapter 4 Barraki Kidnap ==

“W…w…who’s there?” Kongu asked. “It is I, Pridak.” The Toa looked at the Barraki in shock. “Are you scared?” “Yes!” Kongu said. “We’re here to protect the Mask of Life. You’ll add a fine touch on our Toa collection.” Two other Barraki came out of the dark, Mantax and Takadox! “Get them!” Pridak commanded. The Toa had been kidnapped! The Barraki tied them to posts. Once the enemies left, the Toa spoke. “Kongu, I guess this is it, we’re going to die.” The Toa slowly got weaker. Hahli heard a sound, the sound of footsteps. Kongu woke from his dying pass. Another light. Could it be a Barraki? Kongu looked at Jaller. He gave lots of effort to speak. “Jaller, our lives are ending, I hear a sound.” Was Kongu going crazy? Hewkii also heard it. A distant voice was heard next. “Toa, I’m hear to save you!” It was the voice of another Toa. “My name is Koinoo.” Koinoo cut the ropes that were around the Toas’ hands off. Koinoo looked about nineteen by the look of his mask. He looked like a hero to the Toa. “I think I’ll be able to help you make it do the Dark Lands. The path there is dangerous. I suggest we get more Cordak Blasters and other weaponry.” Koinoo led the six Toa to the exit of the torture pit. “Follow me.” Koinoo said. A Barraki waited for them at the top of the pit. “Going somewhere, Toa?” asked Mantax. “Give up, Mantax!” Kongu said, holding two Cordak Blasters in his hands. “Oh, Toa, I’m so scared!” Mantax said in a joking tone. Kongu looked around for any other Barraki. Kongu loaded his blaster and fired. Mantax fell to his death. “Careful, there could be more than one Barraki in these lands.” Kongu told the Toa. Another enemy came close to the seven Toa. Koinoo wiped out two Barraki, Ehlek and Carapar! “The Mask of Life is near now. A few miles away, there is the gate leading to the Dark Lands.” Jaller explained.

== Chapter 5 The Tunnel ==

The Toa looked the tall tunnel with deep side tunnels. All seven Toa Mahri walked down the large tunnel. The entrance they came through closed suddenly. The Toa were calm, not much scared them any more. They had almost died earlier. “Toa, I am the mighty Kalmah! You will all suffer!” Kalmah appeared out of the dark. He took out his sword. “Toa, I’ll take care of him. Stay at a distance.” The Toa went in the dark and watched the duel. Kalmah hit Kongu’s Cordak Blaster and shattered it. They fought back and forth for fifteen minutes. Kalmah took a huge wind up and sliced of Kongu’s arm. “No!!!!!” Hahli screamed. The floor beneath Kongu collapsed. He fell down the pit. “Run!” cried Hahli. Kalmah yelled with joy about his victory. About five minutes later, Hahli spoke with sad words. “Sadly, Kongu, a leader to the Toa, has died. But we must keep going although we are sad.” Now that Kongu was dead, Nuparu took charge being the leader. “Let’s keep moving, now that Kongu’s dead, we might never find the Mask of Life.” A giant door loomed over the Toa. Nuparu opened it. “We’re almost there!” A sudden darkness struck the room. Then, a blur of light appeared. The remaining six Toa, Nuparu, Jaller, Hewkii, Hahli, Matoro, and Koinoo, all watched in surprise. “Toa, I think this is the end, no Mask of Life.” Nuparu said. The glow got bigger and bigger. “It’s one of those glowin’ Barraki!” Jaller yelled. “I am no Barraki.” The glow said.

== Chapter 6 The Mysterious Glow ==

“Ahh, it’s talking!” The glow began to take the shape of a person. “I’m no Barraki, nor am I an evil glow…….” The glow continued. “My name is very important to you. It’s very special. My name is Kongu.” He said. “Did you just say K….k…..k…..Kongu?” asked Hahli. “Yes I did.” Kongu stepped out of the light bubble. “I didn’t die, I just fell. I came back as a new Toa and I got a new arm when I fell in the regenerating toxins. When I escaped, I got a new mask, weapons, and even a new body.” Kongu explained. “Kongu, you’re alive!!!” Hahli cried with joy and hugged him with happiness. Now they could find the Mask of Life. Hahli looked at him. Kongu started to speak. “Although you are happy having me back, we must go. We promised Mata Nui, right?” “Right!” All of the other Toa said. Koinoo ran ahead of the others. “Koinoo, no!!!” Kongu yelled. Jaller ran up ahead catch up with Koinoo. “Why are you running ahead of the Toa Mahri?” asked Jaller. Koinoo began to mumble. “Well, I’m going ahead so I can get to the portal and find the mask before you.” The seventh Toa said. “Well, there’s the portal. Makuta is very close now.” said Kongu. The seven Toa looked at the portal. Would they dare go in? They walked in slowly.

== Chapter 7 The Secret about Kongu ==

“Are you Toa lost?” asked a deep voice. It was a man’s voice. “Who’s there?” Matoro asked in a cowardly tone. “I’m Dalguna, brother of Mata Nui and Makuta.” said Dalguna. “Mata Nui sent me from Metru Nui to find you here. We must get to Torgunga-Bass. I’ve arranged to meet with the Turaga.” said Dalguna. The Turaga were once Toa searching for the sleeping Matoran. “Why are we going to the ancient Turaga?” Nuparu asked. “It’s so we can turn them into Toa.” Dalguna said. Now, eight heroes were on the island of Mata Nui. The Toa didn’t know their worst enemy yet was so near. “We must go if we are going to find the mask and defeat Makuta.” Kongu said. Dalguna put his hand on Kongu’s silver shoulder and whispered, “I have shocking news for you. You are Mata Nui’s son.” “W….w…..w…what?” Kongu said. “That also means Makuta and you are my uncles!!!” Kongu couldn’t believe he was related to both good and evil. Mata Nui never told Kongu about that they were related. Kongu would be more respected when the Toa learned he was Mata Nui’s son. “You better tell your news to the Toa Mahri.” Dalguna suggested. “Toa, I have some news that will surprise you quite a bit.” What could it be? thought Jaller. “I’m Mata Nui’s son!” “MATA NUI?” They all asked. “But we must get going.” Kongu said. Dalguna, being the tallest, looked ahead and saw the volcano Makuta lived in.

== Chapter 8 Makuta, a Volcano, and in the Dark Lands ==

“This is it!” Jaller screamed. “We’ve made it.” Matoro cheered. The eight heroes climbed the volcano. Lava poured down in small drops. The volcano could erupt at any moment. Suddenly, Dalguna spoke in Matoran. “Veetona Beexoona kalmooda de constor ve mav?” This was Matoran for Great Volcano, will you let us pass? Lava poured from the top of the volcano. The Toa almost made it to the top when all of the sudden, Koinoo was swallowed by lava. “No!!!” cried Hahli. Koinoo was truly dead. The Toa kept moving. Koinoo was gone now. “There he is, Makuta, lord of the mask.” Kongu said. Makuta didn’t look the same as in other stories. He had no wings. He had many arranged weapons all over his volcano. “DROP!!!” commanded Jaller.

== Chapter 9 The Final Battle ==

Everyone who worked for Makuta started to attack. Makuta began to speak Matoran. “Ve Svan!” he boomed. Makuta began to fight. He fought well. Makuta had a great evil plan for later. The Toa killed all of the Makuta Workers. “Bwah-Hah-Hah-Hah-Haaah! You may think you have won, but you haven’t! Whangi Tro!” The enemies that weren’t killed earlier arrived. Kalmah, Takadox, and the Barraki Scouts. “We’re gonna lose!” Matoro cried. All of the sudden Toa Turaga flew down on vines to the rescue. They wiped out the bad guys. Only Makuta survived. He tried to climb up the volcano walls, which he did, but he was shot down by Nuparu’s good shot. Makuta tried escaping again with the Mask of Life. Jaller shot at Makuta’s arm which made him drop the mask. Hahli jumped and caught the Mask of Life. But sadly, Makuta escaped. The mask was theirs now. Mata Nui would be saved. Hahli thought about what all they went through. They would have to take the long journey back to the shuttlecraft. “I’m glad we made it.” said Kongu. The Turaga had saved them. The journey would go on to save Mata Nui, but Makuta was on the loose. Mata Nui would be saved. THE END…… TO BE CONTINUED………..
