The Day The Toa Fell

The Day The Toa Fell is a story written by Ciaranhappy2, it tells the events of the forging of the Mask Of Deceit and the early Spherus War.

Chapter One:
It was after the time before time that Teridax put Mata Nui to endless slumber. He went after the Vahi, He never got the it for himself.

The Makuta was frustrated, how could he lose such an asset, to inexperienced Toa? Teridax indeed wanted to get something for his trouble. Something, that could aid him to conquer the Matoran Universe. He needed a perfect tool, not a weapon, a weapon was to obvious, you see a weapon, you know one is armed.

A Kanohi, is what Teridax needed. A bridge, between Great and Legendary, but it must look kike a Powerless or at max, Noble. How Teridax wondered, he walked out to the balcony over looking Destral, to think. Destral was not a pleasant land, a tiny speck on the map it was, yet it had so much influence, the land of the Makuta it was, gloomy and dark.

He knew not what power to imbue his Kanohi with as that wasn't the current issue, it was how to make one without the Disks. Teridax continued to stare longingly into the greenness of the sky filled with black clouds. He looked down as saw a pool of molten rock.

That was it, a forge is what he needed. Teridax ordered a Forge made for him in Metru Nui, City of Legends, a large on, of immense heat beyond that of even Ta-Metru!

It was built, 1 Mio in diameter, deep underneath Le-Metru. Power...

A mold was inserted into a bowl of Antidermis, and infused with unnatural elements from impossible Rahi Teridax made for this specific purpose. Then the mask was reinforced with Protosteel, for strength.

Then Teridax created a Rahi to indue the Mask with a set of powers of his choice, and used it on the Mask.

The Mask came out of the fires, hot and burning, it was reflecting lights that where simply not there, it was created unnaturally, the universe didn't like it.

The Mask Of Deceit, was born, but in truth, it should never exist, for it defy s the natural law in creation.

Teridax tore of his Mask and slowly put the Mask of Deceit over his face, the mask was rainbow colored and no colors at once, it was, painful to look at. There was something terribly wrong with it. As soon as it slid on Teridax's face the Mask changed to a black, and Teridax felt, powerful, like he could lie about yesterday to a Chronicler and get away with it...

But soon, Teridax heard marching, the Order Of Mata Nui where here. They wouldn't know about the mask if they don't survive, that was Teridax's thought process when he assaulted Juju. Juju used his mask of speed to get out the way before kicking Teridax to the floor.

"Traitor! Mata Nui builds you, gives you life, and how do you repay him? By making him sleep!?" Juju yelled as he stood upon Teridax's now seemingly lifeless body. Another member of the Order then said "Juju, it appears you just killed the Makuta of Metru Nui"

Teridax didn't understand what he just heard, did his mask, make him look dead, indeed, it was a Mask of Deceit after all.

Teridax suddenly sprung up, tearing Juju's head of and slamming it into another Order member, for whatever reason, Teridax felt such joy seeing his body fall. The two remaining Order members ran at Teridax, one jumped for the Mask of Deceit, only to be impaled in the chest by Teridax's blade. Teridax was impressed by his Kanohi's ability, deceit, increased reflexes and general speed.

Now one Order member stood between Teridax and victory, Teridax was going to achieve his first victory in quite a short while.

Both warriors charged at each other, screaming all manner of insults and curses, including "Go rest in Karzahni, brute" Teridax struck the enemy's blade with such force it exploded into Protosteel shrapnel, cutting both combatants faces.

The skirmish was fast and hectic, the Order member lost her arm to Teridax before knocking down the brute, his face almost in the molten rock.

"Give up Makuta! Face it, you've lost" Said the Order member, Teridax laughed as if criminally insane.

The chest of Teridax opened up, and a hand of pure Antidermis came out, A Hand of Shadow, the Toa was grabbed, and Teridax wished not to absorb him, he was weak, it would be a tiny addition to power, only crush his body, but the hand drew closer to Makuta's chest to make it seem he was to be absorbed. This, was a mistake.

The Toa swung his pike at Teridax's head, striking it, knocking him down, the Mask of Deceit flew off, and landed in the seas of lava, and sank...
