Chapter 1-Rahkshi
Tayron ducked as pieces of debris flew past. He walked along the battlement. Another explosion. The section behind him gave way. Two Matoran ran up the stairs carrying poison filled Zamour. Matoran grabbed the Zamour, loaded and fired. They had fighting the Rahkshi all night, though night never ended so it was hard to tell how long the siege had lasted.

He ducked as two red lasers flew past. He charged his sword with Kinetic Energy and fired it out at the Rahkshi below. Five Rahkshi went flying. Before today, the Rahkshi Legion had been a mere rumor from the Southern chain islands spread by some female Po-Matoran. Plasma splashed against the wall forty Bios below. The wall were thick, but they wouldn't hold much longer.

Kanihk walked towards him. Two red beams flew towards Kanihk but the Toa of Ice merely raised his shield and deflected the beams. The Toa of Ice came and stood along side Tayron. He fired orbs of ice from his twin Zamour Launchers.

"Tayron, the battle is lost, we need to get the Matoran out of here!" said Kanihk.

"Then get them out and cover their escape," replied Tayron.

A Matoran was hit by something and burst into flames. Screaming, the Matoran fell over the edge.

"What are you gonna do then?" asked Kanihk.

The moment he said it, Tayron dived over the edge.

"Idiot," muttered Kanihk. "Ok listen up, we need to get out of here now. Follow me and don't die, got it?"

The Matoran nodded and they set of away from the battlements. The Fortess of Voya Nui was an amazing example of Matoran architecture. A huge 70bio tall wall ran round the edge. In the center was the council hall, a small fortress in its self. Around that were huts, markets, blacksmith's, farms. Running overhead of all that was a spider web of bridges leading to different structures above the rest. It was all about to be destroyed.

"Where's Garan?" asked Kanihk.

"Garan is here," said the acting Turaga of Voya Nui.

The Onu-Matoran moved stiffly. He carried a sword and a gun of some form. There was an almighty crash, dust and debris flew out from somewhere behind one of the huts.

"There in!" cried a Matoran, and two grey Rahkshi lumbered round the corner.

Tayron had used his Golden Kanohi's Kadin power to fly down to the Rahkshi. Now he was surrounded. He fired out a wave of heat energy. Three Rahkshi fell dead. Another one sent out a deafening sound wave, but Tayron managed to absorb the Energy and hurl it back as electrical energy. Killing the Rahkshi. He was hit from behind and fell to his knees. He got up and a green Rahkshi hit his arm, poisoning him. He staggered, swung his sword but it was knocked from his hand. He prepared to create an Energy Nova-Blast but a blade hit him in the neck, nearly severing his head. He fell to the ground, his Golden Hau stopped rolling at the feet of a Rahkshi.

Kanihk charged to meet the Rahkshi. He fired ice from his Zamour Launchers. The Rahkshi staggered back, but remained uninjured. One charged at Kanihk but he ducked, tripping it. He turned and brought his shield down on it but still it remained unharmed. The second Rahkshi swung its staff at him, using a two handed grip. Kanihk ducked and came up between the Rahkshi and its staff. He pressed his shield against its chest and pushed hard, forcing the staff from its grip. He froze the Rahkshi and turned to find five more attacking the Matoran.

He charged, firing ice. There was a hole in the wall, created by the Rahkshi, there didn't appear to be any on the other side.

"This way!" He yelled.

The Matoran clambered through the hole. Kanihk fired ice at the Rahkshi, managing to keep them at bay as the Matoran clambered through. The last to go was Garan.

"Hurry, Wise One," said Kanihk.

Kanihk turned and clambered through. But just as he was climbing out the other side, he was hit by a blast from a red Rahkshi. Fear filled his. He bolted as fast as he could. Charging away from the Matoran, no thought went through his mind other than that he was afraid. A few minutes later he stopped running, what had he done. He had left the Matoran undefended. He thought about going back but it was to late, the Matoran were probably dead by now. He had lost his honor, his home, his friends. How had this happened?
