The Adventures of Tukei and Mavo

Note:This story isn't finished yet, but feel free to read what is already here.

Walking along at the edge of a cliff was an orange Matoran. He paused and peered over the side. He seemed to be looking for something. He leaned further, a little too far. He last his balance and went tumbling down the side of the cliff.

A few feet away, a black and yellow Matoran was rock climbing on the cliffside. He heard the orange Matoran scream as he fell, and he took a grapple hook out of his pack. He grappled over to the orange Matoran's path. As he fell by the black Matoran, the black one grabbed for his hand, but ended up holding his leg.

"Hold on to this," the black Matoran instructed and he nudged a loop on his rock climbing harness. The orange Matoran obeyed, while the black one held down a button on the grapple which brought them up the cliffside at a steady pace. Just before they reached the top the orange Matoran spotted something embedded in the cliffside.

"Hey! There's that tablet I was looking for." He tugged at it with his free hand and dislodged it. The two Matoran reached the top of the cliff and sat down.



"Thank you so much!" said the orange Matoran gratefully, "How can I ever repay you for saving my life?"

"Aw, don't worry about it. It was a pleasure. Rock climbing is a hobby of mine." replied the black Matoran, "By the way, my name's Mavo."

"I'm Tukei," said the orange Matoran. "Well, I have to go now. There's a Chroniclers' meeting soon and I'm expected to be there."

Mavo was interested, "Oh, do you work for the Order of the Chroniclers? I've heard that they have a record of almost everything that has occured in history. Can I come?"

"Sure, you can come for the first part," replied Tukei, "but only registered members of the OotC are allowed to partake in the last part." The two Matoran headed down a road that led through the woods. They soon came to a stone dome-shaped building.

"Here is the headquarters," informed Tukei, "the meeting will be held here." They entered the front door and came to a table where a little brown and black Matoran sat.

"Identification, please." he said in a rather monotonous voice. Tukei handed him his membership card and handed it back. The brown Matoran stared at Mavo, who looked uncomfortable. Tukei quicky explained, "Oh, he's a guest." The brown Matoran pointed at a table with a sign reading "GUESTS SIGN IN HERE." Mavo walked over to the table and wrote his name in the questbook. The brown Matoran opened a door and let Tukei and Mavo in. The brown Matoran followed them and closed the door behind them. The three of them took seats in the back row.

After the meeting, Tukei and Mavo were leaving the headquarters when Tukei felt someone tap him on the back. He turned to see the little brown Matoran they had sat with earlier.

"I am Theobroma," he stated shortly, but kindly, "come with me."

Tukei and Mavo followed Theobroma. They turned down a street marked "Kika Ave." Soon, they came to "Theobroma's Candy Shoppe."

Theobroma opened a door and let Tukei and Mavo in. Theobroma jumped behind the counter and pulled out some fudge samples.

"Try some fudge." he ordered. Tukei and Mavo each tried a piece.

"Wow! This fudge is great!" exclaimed Tukei.

"It's better than great," added Mavo, "it's stupendous! I think I want to buy some. Let's see... I'll get two--no, four--no seven! I'll buy seven boxes of your wonderful, delicious, stupendous fudge."

Mavo soon paid for his fudge.

"Come see my marshmallows." said Theobroma. Mavo and Tukei followed him to where the marshmallow were, and they each tried a few.

"This one's kinda hard." complained Tukei.

Theobroma said nothing, but then spoke up, "Here is a poem I made up about marshmallows:

'' 'They may be old,

''They may be stale,

But they're still marshmallows.' 

"How is that a rhyme!?!?!" said Tukei skeptically

"I didn't say it was a rhyme; just a poem." answered Theobroma.

Tukei said nothing and tried some more fudge.

"I think I'll buy some fudge, too," he decided, "I'll buy two boxes of fudge, please."

Mavo and Tukei were soon walking down the street with their boxes of Theobroma's "stupendous" fudge. They told everybody they met about Theobroma's Candy Shoppe, and soon more Matoran where buying candy from Theobroma. Soon those Matoran told all of their friends, and Matoran from all over the island were flocking to Theobroma's Candy Shoppe.

One day, Tukei and Mavo were walking through the woods when some green Bohrokshi crashed through the bushes and surrounded them.

Tukei was frightened, "Uh, Mavo, I think we should run now."

Mavo, however, had other ideas, "Naw, we can fight them off, it's easy. Just throw your bamboo disk at 'em." Mavo promptly pulled out his disk and flung it at one of the Bohrokshi. It simply bounced off its head and returned to Mavo. The hit Bohrokshi hissed and prepared for attack.

Now Mavo was convinced, "Uh, yeah, maybe you were right..." Tukei and Mavo ran under one of the Bohrokshi's legs and headed towards the nearest town: Lewhapolis. Once there, they got the attention of a nearby Le-Matoran.

"Um, we found some Bohrokshi in the woods. Do you know where we can find help, like, a Toa or something?" asked Mavo.

"Bohrokshi! Again???" the Le-Matoran was shocked, "After we drove them away? Those buggers will never leave us alone..."

Mavo was impaitient, "Yes, but do you know where we can find a Toa?"

"Well...there's Kaia..." answered the Le-Matoran, "but she wont be any help... she lives on Tuha St. with the yellow garage--"

"Ok thanks!" interrupted Mavo, who ran off in the direction of Tuha St., dragging Tukei behind him.

Once the two friends reached Tuha St., they heard some far away music; electric guitarishy music. As they walked down the street, the music go louder. Once they reached the house with the yellow garage, it was deafening. The garage door was open and in it stood a Toa Nuva of Water, playing an electric guitar.

"Um, Toa Kaia, we need your help." said Tukei, " There are some Bohrokshi in the woods, and, uh--"

"What's that? I can't hear you," yelled Kaia, who kept playing.

"There's Bohrokshi in the woods!!!" cried Tukei.

"Sorry! You'll have to speak up!" the music seemed to get louder.

Tukei looked as if his mask would explode. "BOHROKSHI!!! IN THE WOODS!!! STOP PLAYING YOUR STUPID GUITAR!!!!!!!"

At this, Kaia stopped and walked over to Tukei and Mavo.

"Never insult my playing while I'm doing lessons!" she warned.

Mavo smirked, "With that kind of playing, you still take lessons?"

Kaia smiled cooly, "No, I'm teaching lessons."



Instantly, an Onu-Matoran walked onto the driveway with his own little guitar and looke a little pathetic. He took out a pick and plucked a few strings which made a harsh rasping sound, tripped over a paint can, and a string broke with a loud "twoing."

"Aw, rats. That's the fourth string I've broken this week." he sighed.

Kaia turned to Tukei and Mavo, "See? Your distracting my students. Now SHOO!"

The two friend walked away.

"That Le-Matoran said she wouldn't be any help," said Tukei, "He was right."

Mavo had not run out of ideas, "Maybe we should gather a band of Matoran, or anyone, to help fight the Bohrokshi. Like that Le-Matoran. I'm sure he would be glad to help>"

Tukei brightened up at the idea, "Yeah! Let's start recruiting."

The two of them headed back to where they found the Le-Matoran. Luckily, he was still there, loitering.

"Hey you! We're starting an army against the Bohrokshi. It seemed you didn't like them. Do you want to join and help us recruit?" Mavo asked him.

"Oh sure!" he said gladly, "It will be a better use of my time than just hanging around here. My name's Shuni."

Tukei had an idea, "I wonder if our friend Theobroma would like to join. Let's head over to his shop and see if he's there." The three Matoran headed towards the city where his shop was, and passed Tuha St. on the way. There they found the Onu-Matoran that Kaia was teaching.

"Hi," he said to them, "I heard you say something about the Bohrokshi and staring a fighting band. I was wondering, could I join? I not very good at playing the guitar. Well, actually, it's a ukulele, but I think it would be better if I joined."

Mavo would decline to no one, "Sure! Right now, we're taking every one that is willing to join. But we have to know your name."

He replied, "I'm Akakuna."

So the group of Matoran went along their way, gathering new members as they went. When they reached Theobroma's Candy Shoppe, their numbers had increased to 17 members, one of which was Mavo's friend Tuneh. Tukei went into Theobroma's and was glad to find that Theobroma was there.

Tukei asked, "Hey, Theobroma! We are starting an army to fight the Bohrokshi. Would you like to join?"

Theobroma nodded slowly. He jumped over the counter and walked out the door, turning the "open" sign to "closed" as he did.
