"What is it?" He asked jumping in a tree "I don't know" Lewa responded jumping in the same tree.
"Let's go see-look what it is." The young toa suggested then went off. Lewa took both his swords out then sored above his apprentice.
The object landed on the border of the Le-wahi and Ko-wahi. The bottom had been burt but it had basically remained in one piece. A door on the side opened and a creature came out, the creature held it's arm as it's blood dripped off and on to a fallen branch. It's blood desolved part of the branch. As the creature looked around it looked at the Ko-wahi boarder. It let out a slight kiss and ran in the icy terran.
Galeno was the first to get to the landing spot and skidded in front of the object. Lewa landed next to him. The young toa approached the object looking around. As he walked around the elder toa saw what looked like claw marks over a symbol. Something he's never seen before above that was a carving, not from claws but from something curosive. Another symbol. It looked like a Rahi to him with a small arm, long tail, large spike head and three more spikes on it's back.
"What ever was in here is long-gone." Galeno said as he pulled his head out of the door way. He then stepped on the same branch and same spot where the creatures blood had landed. The young toa yelped in pain and stepped back. Lewa went over to him.
" What is it?" He asked with a concerned voice. Galeno sat down and looked at the sole of his foot. Part of it had turned brown and black, a few holes had also formed on his foot. The elder toa looked as the corrosion then at the branch.
The creature had approached the village of Ko-koro. Staying close to the shadows so not to attract any attention. The creature had noticed small mechanical beings. As it walks further away it noticed a larger one. The creature went closer still staying by the shadows.
Kopaka heard footsteps in the snow and turned around. The creature stood still. Parts of it's body was not that well affixed to blend in with the shadows, which it already knew. The white toa turned back around, hesitating for a moment before he started to walk again. The creature went on all fours although it felt more comfortable on two legs. It jumped on to a wall and let out a luring hiss. Kopaka then took out his sword turned and walked toward the source of the hiss. The creature went above him as he entered a cave. It's blood dripped off the wound on it's arm, but it didn't not land on the toa. It did, how ever, catch his attention. As he turned around the creature jumped off the ceiling and pinned him. Kopaka kicked it off and out of the cave. The creature got up quickly and back on two legs. The white toa exited the cave and looked over. He examined it for a moment before realizing he had been attacked by a female...thing. She looked at him and growled not really paying attention that he was about 2 feet taller than her. Kopaka put his sword away. The creature was confused and tilted her head as he turned his back to her.
"What? Don't wanna fight? or are you just afraid to be beat by a girl?" As she spoke Kopaka stopped and looked over his shoulder.
" You can talk?" He asked. She just smirked.
" I may be half xeno but I can talk."
"Half what?"
"Oh right...Different planet...Half Xenomorph, I am...or WAS an expariment for the Weyland-Yutani company, you probably don't want to hear about it..." She cut off.
"You're right, I don't" Kopaka said coldly then heard Ixaka coming. The creature snuck back into the shadows before the young white toa saw her. Kopaka watched, shook his head, and turned his attention to his apprentice.
"What is it kid?" Kopaka asked.
"Just came by to tell you that there's something here. Left holes in Galeno's foot. None of us have seen the thing that di-"
"I have a feeling I know what did." The elder white toa interupted looking at the shadows. Ixaka looked over.
"You can come out, the kid won't hurt you."Kopaka said. The creature snarled and stepped out and went to all fours. The young ice toa's jaw dropped.
"What is that thing?" He asked and got an unfriendly hiss from her.
"I'm not a thing! I have a name!"She snapped.
"What is your name then?"The elder ice toa snapped back.
"Kara."She responded going back to two legs.
"Well what ever you are, you're about the same height as most Matoran." Ixaka said.
"Ma-what? Oh you mean the little things that kinda look like...Hey! I ain't that damn short!" Ixaka smiled nervously.
"Alright geez, I was just saying..." Kopaka sighed. Kara looked at him.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, but I guess you should start explaining why you are here."he said bitterly. She shrugged.
"Alright. I was an experiment for the Weyland-Yutani company a.k.a the worst thing to come from the humans and worst thing to happen to the xenomorphs. They were tring new things, fusing the DNA of the xeno's with humans. I just happen to be on of them. Most that were in this experiment didn't survive."She started to explain.
"How many were there?"Ixaka asked.
"About 20 or 30. less than half survived. We were each kept seperate from each other. I don't know how but a full blood xeno had escaped and knocked out the power to the whole building. By the time the emergincy power kicked in, it was already too late. The xenomorph queen had broke free, all the xenos were out of their prisons and the survivors of the experments were as well..." She cut off.
"So you escaped the building and found this planet." Kopaka said.
"No, I wasn't sure which planet I was heading for actually. It was just random. I could have easily ended up on the hunter's planets and died in a heart beat. I guess I'm just lucky." Kara said back.
"Wait, Hunter's planet?" Ixaka asked curiously.
"Yeah. I won't get into explaining those guys..."She said with a cold voice. "They kill plenty of xenos.."she muttered under her breath.
"Well you're stuck here now, and one more thing, How can you survive on this part of the island in that flabby armor?"The elder white toa asked.
"Armor? It's just clothes and really xenos can handle the cold. There was a hive in Antarctica before. Coldest place on Earth."Kara sighed. "And really I'm glad to be away from that planet, turning into a real wreck if you ask me."
"Are there any other's like you here?" Ixaka procided to ask.
"No I was the only one to get off that rock Weyland tried to claim."She answered. Kopaka huffed and walked off. Kara watched then followed.
"Mind telling me why you're so anti-social." She requested.
"Anti-social?"Kopaka repeated.
"Yeah."
"Who said I was."He said not really answering her question. The girl stopped.
"Well fine then, be a grouch."She said with a slight smile. Kopaka looked coldy over his shoulder at her.
"I've heard better...no eyed freak..."he said and with that continued to walk. Kara roared and lunged at him, pinning him to a large rock.
"Never call me that! At least I can still see like a human."She snarled baring her fangs at his face. She stared at him for a while and closed her mouth. After a few moments Kara let go of Kopaka, finally calmed down.
"You know if that does make you that mad, why didn't you kill me just then?"He asked rubbing his shoulder where her claws were.
"I really don't want to ruin my chances of staying alive on this planet. I want to see the rest of this island in one piece, you know what I'm sayin'."she said turning around then looked over her shoulder and saw that Kopaka was gone.
"What the fuck...Seriously?"Kara yelled looking around, seeing that Ixaka was also gone."I didn't even get any of their names..."she sighed and walked through the snow, hoping to come across something more warm. Even if she was half xeno, she was still half human.
Gali walked toward the newly rebuilt village of Ta-koro. Pawayti followed her, wondering if Lewa or Galeno had already gotten here. The young water toa looked down at the lava. If Tahu or Miniri weren't there, they had to be lava surfing. She thought. Gali however knew Tahu too well and knew he would be in the village by now. As they entered the village Tahu was just now putting his surf board up when he noticed the two water toa.
"Gali! Pawayti, What are you two doing here?"He asked.
"I'm guessing neither Lewa or Galeno have been here yet then"The elder water toa said.
"No they haven't, either that or we missed their visit. Why?"
"There's a new creature on this island. We have no idea if it's friendly or not."
"I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary all day. If I had, you'd be the first to know." Tahu said. Pawayti sighed to herself and looked around, then wandered off from the two toa. She noticed Miniri still holding her surf board, talking to Jaller and Takanuva. The three looked over at the blue toa coming toward them.
"Hey guys."Pawayti greeted them.
"Hey sister, What brings you here?"Miniri asked smiling.
"Gali was just bringing some news from Lewa."
"And you tagged along as always." Jaller said smartly.
"Of course, There has to be more than one girl keeping an eye on you boys."The two girls giggled both Takanuva and Jaller didn't know how to respond.
"Oh come on, I'm kidding!"Pawayti assured them.
"You don't change much do you?"Takanuva said with a smile across his face.
"Guess not."
"So what is this news you were talking about?"The fire toa asked.
"Something about this creature no one has seen yet. I was going to head to Ko-koro later on and see if either Kopaka or Ixaka seen it."Pawayti answered. "Any of you guys want to come?"
"I'll come along."Miniri replied.
"Can't, seeing Hahli later."Jaller said.
"Lover boy..."Miniri said under her breath. Takanuva chuckled and nodded.
"I'd love to come, I'll wait for you two at the boarder."He said.
"Make sure to keep an eye on them, don't want them to run off and leave ya"Jaller said and got an evil glare from both the girls.
"You're lucky you're girlfriend is a close friend of mine Jaller." the young water toa said. The red and yellow matoran blushed and turned his head away.
"She's just a friend..."
"Uh huh, sure, that's what you say now"Miniri placed one of her hands on his head.
"Shuddup...And get your hand off my head!"Jaller protected shaking the fire toa's hand off. The three toa laughed as both Tahu and Gali came over. Tahu placed his hand on Miniri shoulder.
"Not causing and trouble are you?"He asked.
"Who? me? Never big brother!" Both chuckled. Gali giggled and looked at Pawatyi.
"Come on now, we should be going." She said turning to leave. The young water toa nodded and followed. She turned back around for a moment walking backwards.
"See ya later guys!" She yelled, waving to them.
"See ya!"Takanuva and Miniri yelled back as Pawayti quickly turned back and ran next to Gali.
Later that day Takanuva was waiting by the Ta-wahi Ko-wahi border. Miniri had already come. All that they were waiting for was Pawayti. It was her idea to go in the first place. Takanuva looked at his sister toa, she had heard from Tahu, Galeno had gotten injured, even if it wasn't that serious, Taka knew she worried about him. He didn't want to say anything and get on her bad side. She looked at him and smiled abit then she noticed Pawayti coming over.
"Sorry for the wait."She said.
"Don't be sorry sister."Takanuva said back.
"Well shall we go?"The water toa asked. The toa of light and fire nodded and headed toward Ko-koro.
