The Brotherhood Falls

The Brotherhood Falls, or just TBF, is a three-part story detailing the events before the Battle of Destral, during the invasion on the island, and the final battle on the island. The parts will be written in short stories, each going further where the last one ended.

The Rising Fear
A hallway inside the Destral Fortress

"I'm not sure about Icarax's purity, Teridax. He has always been a bit cruel, but the last weeks, he has been worse than usually."

"Isn't it just because of the threat of the League? We have all been stressing since Leader reported they have been gaining armies. Miserix, we have battled them before, and we had trouble with it. Now them grew stronger, we have a lesser chance of surviving. Icarax has always been a survivor. He doesn't like getting beat up by his enemies. He is just gaining information, and the stress makes him crueler than before. We all have that now."

"I want to give you a heavy mission, brother."

"What kind of mission?"

"If the Brotherhood is about to fall, I want you to...eliminate Icarax."

"Eliminate?"

"Kill him. Make sure he won't become leader of the Brotherhood if we die." Miserix said with a serious face. He wasn't joking. He wanted Icarax killed.

Teridax stood before him, gazing. "Excuse me, sir?"

"You heard me. Icarax is too cruel to lead the Brotherhood Of Makuta. It isn't an evil organization, such as the League. Icarax would possibly forget that, if he becomes the leader."

"I'll do...But only because of your command."

Chirox's laboratory, Destral Fortress

"Look, Mutran. They are finished. The prototypes for the Visorak. These six-legged creatures could save us if the League of Six Kingdoms attacks."

"Very good, Chirox. But wouldn't they be better with four legs? More agile, easier for them to run?"

"Hmmm, maybe. I'll think of that."

"But, Chirox, brother. What do you think of the League of Six Kingdoms?"

"The League? They won't attack. They are already beat up once, why would they want that twice?"

"It is speculated they have stronger armies. Icarax, Miserix and Teridax were heavily injured last time. We should prepare."

"Possible... What about an, an alliance between us?"

"What are you talking about? An alliance?" Mutran was sceptical, he didn't like secrets, especially secrets for his fellow Makuta.

"We go the home island of that Order of Mata Nui member, Tobduk, we improve the Visorak, and defeat the League with the Visorak army! Great idea, isn't it?"

"Well, it is possible, but...how are we supposed to, well, flee? We Makuta sense each other."

"Easy. We sneak up to the Olmak Generator if they are battling. We open a portal to Visorak, and done."

"You think everything is so easy, don't you?"

Teridax's sleeping chamber

''Eliminate? That sounds so, cruel. Why does Miserix want this? Icarax is a respected member. Can I actually kill him? Am I strong enough? No I'm kidding, that would be easy. Very easy...Just a Shadow Hand."

Teridax stood up. He felt the presence of the League's armies. Some of them were infected with Antidermis. His species was able to sense each others Antidermis.
