Story
PROLOGUE

My name is Vamex. I am a Matoran of Light with a troubled past, and this is my story.



ENTRY I

I was sitting atop a hill, over-looking a village of Fe-Matoran. It was peaceful down there, the steady rhythm of clanging metal drifting in the air. I was sitting there, taking a breather before I went down there, with one particular place in mind.



I walked down the side of the hill, and proceeded straight toward the first blacksmith's shop on the right, owned by a Matoran named Kalmex. I walked in, and found him at work on a bladed weapon, one that had a single, straight blade, and two angled blades. When Kalmex noticed my presence, he turned around and said, “Vamex! Good to see you again!”



“Hello Kalmex, I need you to do me a favor.” I said/asked.



“What do you need help with?” Kalmex asked.



“I need a new attachment for my arm.” I said, looking down at the robotic limb that replaced the one that had been lost to a Dark Hunter.



“Vamex, I thought you left Eliminator's service decades ago.” Kalmex said in a disapproving tone.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in">“Thanks Kalmex, and keep the change.” I said as he left the building.

I just shrugged, and moved on, getting to my speeder in about two minutes, and I sped off, heading to my home near Iconox. When I got there, I went to my workshop, and tested out the new arm. It worked perfectly. Then, seeing that it was dark outside, I retired to my bed for the night, and after a few minutes of restlessness, I fell asleep.
