Land of the Dark Hunters

Prologue
Nepolius was quiet. The few rahi that lived there were asleep, and the Matoran had left for Metru Nui hours before. Nothing stirred.Nothing except for the small canister that was making its way in from the sea. Toa Frucas watched as it came in.

Suddenly, two blades shot up from the middle of the canister. Claws erupted from the chamber, and the metal cage shattered. A tall, multi-toned creature stepped out from the rubble. It had a long, scorpion-like tail, huge claws on its feet, and carried a three-pronged sword and sheild. The monstrosity strode over to a pile of rocks. It seemed to study them all, before taking the largest and throwing it at the rock underneath Frucas. The age-old stone crumbled, bringing down the Toa's hidden platform. Frucas hit the ground before he knew he was falling. The shock of the impact forced him to let down his guard for just a second, but that was enough time for the creature. The last thing Frucas saw of that encounter was a clawed foot coming down towards his mask.
