Forgotten Shadows

 Chapter 1
    Tazzuk was having quite a good day.

    Capturing the unsuspecting Toa Zeras with the combined forces of Makuta Grekk and Intor, he strode over to their leader, Fierek, with malice. He smiled, noticing the black blotches of shadow on his red armor, marking the loss of Soulevan, a top-secret Brotherhood Monstrosity lost long ago. He cared little for Dekariax and Blassek, Fierek's fellow Toa companions who wielded both Hydroelectricity and Plasma. With a wave of his clawed hand, Grekk and Intor dragged Blassek and Dekariax out to no doubt be disposed of, leaving Tazzuk alone with Fierek.

   "Tell me, fire one, may I please talk to Soulevan. I know he's in there," Tazzuk said, holding Fierek's hateful face in his hand. "I'm really interested in finding out how our very costly Brotherhood experiment merged with this... filth. If not, well then, I suppose <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">we'll just wait thirty minutes and see what is left of your friends."

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    Unexpectedly, with a cool whoosh! of cool air, and the <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">dispersement of smoke, Makuta Kryzacs stood towering behind Tazzuk, <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">machine-gun hand firmly placed against his hand. Rolling his eyes, <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">Tazzuk threw Fierek into a tree and turned around to talk to the <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">intruder.

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">     "Makuta Tazzuk. We have a contract to keep. It is indeed time <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">for you to join me," Kryzacs said, amused at the timing of his <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">arrival.

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    "Oh really?" Tazzuk said, arms folded. "Can't this wait a bit <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">longer? My minions just have captured some fresh Toa, and I haven't <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">taken life in over an hour! Perhaps another time."

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    Suddenly, two earsplitting shrieks sounded, and Toa Blassek and <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">Toa Dekariax came charging from out of the forest at Tazzuk and <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">Kryzacs. Kryzacs grinned, throwing them both a murderous smile of <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">fear, causing them both to stop dead in their tracks.

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    "You where saying?" Kryzacs said. "Come. It is time for combat. <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">But," walking over towards a large oak tree, Kryzacs grabbed Fierek by <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">the arm. "I have need of this one."

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    "Be my guest," Tazzuk said sarcastically. "We only spent four <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">hours tracking these fools."

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    "Excellant. I will drop you off at our complex at Deremigia, in <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">the Raxes Dimension. I will join you after running some... errands."

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    "What kind of errands?"

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">     Kryzacs grinned once again. "The kind that involves me <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">kidnapping a dozen Toa. The first of which I believe is someone you <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">know. Nikra is her name, and like Fierek she has a gift that I'd like <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">to exploit..."

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">Chapter 2
<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    Kylord lay flat on a rock, enjoying himself for the first time in months.

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    Going through several endeavors, including many close encounters <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">with the Brotherhood, Kylord now found himself getting some much <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">needed rest while waiting for Toa Moonstalker to return from her <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">reconnaisance. Next to him was Toa Nikra and five others, enjoying the <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">cool, if not clean, water. Finally, a day devoid of stress seemed to <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">have arrived.

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    That is until he suddenly found himself paralyzed by fear by the <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">towering Makuta Kryzacs, a huge mongrel he tried to forget. Notice the <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">word "tried", for his nightmarish grins are almost unerasable from <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">memory.

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    Laughing, he smacked Kylord from his rock onto the cooling <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">waters, where Kylord awoke as if from a spell. Meanwhile, Kryzacs <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">scooped up Nikra with his one clawed hand hand fired in Kylord's <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">direction with his machine-gun hand.

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    Enraged, Kylord barely noticed the red blast whiz by his head as <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">he acessed hidden energy in his body, slowly transforming into his <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">titan form. Growing steadily, he rose out of the water and matched <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">even Kryzacs's height.

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    "My oh my," Kryzacs said, grasping Nikra even tighter. "They just <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">seem to grow up so quickly, don't they? However, I think I'll be <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">taking this one to go, thank you. Aur revoir, bette!"

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    Kryzacs rose his machine-gun hand in Kylord's direction, with the <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">intention of sending the silver-armored warrior back before <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">teleporting. However, much to Kryzacs's surprise, with one meaty hand, <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">Kylord grapped the machine gun and began to squeeze foen on it, <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">causing the barrel to bend. A few moments later, and Kryzacs's machine <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">gun hand exploded in a raging red inferno of fear, encompassing all. <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">In the chaos, Kryzacs teleported, still holding onto Nikra with one <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">hand.

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">    Likewise, Kylord's pained hand latched onto Kryzacs's leg, sure <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;">to save his stolen sister.
