Against the Storm

Against the Storm (often abbreviated to ATS) is an episodic story currently being written by CaptainLandr0ver. It is the sequel series to The Feral Plains, taking place several decades before it's events. Unlike it's predecessor, it was not uploaded onto the Lego.com Gallery.

The story follows the origins of the Toa Powai, as they are led by Toa Maroona against a mysterious organization who threatens the island, and the struggles they encounter attempting to stop something several times more powerful than they are.

As TFP 's theme song was "Knights of Cydonia" by the English rock band Muse, ATS 's theme song is "Map of the Problematique" by the same band. The story is also the first to include a "soundtrack," a list of songs which Cap feels coincide with characters or events in the story.

Synopsis
''The time has finally come for Powai Nui to receive it's own Toa team. Forced by destiny into a struggle against a force which outweighs them, they must learn to rely on each other rather than themselves and learn that somethings are impossible for one being.''

Trivia

 * Originally, Cap was going to proceed with two sequels to TFP after it was completed, and would then write a prequel story. However, after finishing the story, he felt that writing a prequel story would be better to explain the mysteries of TFP, many of which were left unnecessarily open. Within the span of a month and a half, the plot for ATS was written and finalized entirely, and writing, moccing and photography began.
 * ATS 's title was devised originally as a placeholder title, before it grew on Cap and inspired the themes of the story itself.
 * ATS is the first of Cap's major stories to have a soundtrack. He plans to give soundtrack to the rest of them, including TFP. It is also the first major story not to be released onto the Lego.com Gallery.
