The Ta-Koronan Guard RPG

[Gold Tahu]

In other words you. LOL. More power to ya. ;D
-------------------------------------------------------
"Well, let's see here," Zuzu says, looking at his map and the inscriptions, "According to these, this is where the eighth Toa will come from his slumber within another mass."
"What do you suppose that means?" Takura asks. Zuzu looks down.
"I have no clue," he says, "Except that the eighth Toa is either in one of us, he's in that canister, or he's in a mask. Which I doubt." Zuzu walks over to the canister and starts tapping the lid with his Kolhii stick carefully. "Well, it seems safe," he says as the canister starts to hiss from behind him. He turns around just in time for the canister to explode open, knocking Zuzu back. Winds appear to come from inside the canister, pulling Zuzu's limp body towards it and pulling Takura towards it. Zuzu grabs onto a boulder and holds onto it, protecting himself from the gust of wind pulling him. Takura tries to reach for something, but misses as he is pulled towards the canister.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ooh, suspense. ;D

Don't give anything away!

As I was sucked into the canister. It's dark and scary. As the wind in the canister stops the lid slams shut. No light is coming in. Then a silver glow comes from the corner. Another inscription. I read it out to myself.
"Here lies the legendary Katana sword and mask of place."
I look around. Another glow has appeared. And another one! But my attention goes to the glow on my left. A Kanohi! I reach out for it. As I reach it glows even more. It glows brighter and brighter and the whole canister is filled with light. I finally get to it. I have a great temptation to put it on. But then about five more lights appear. I drop the mask. My mouth falls open. I hear a deep and soft voice.
"Don't put that on little one," it says.
"W-w-why not-t-t-t?" I ask.
The five new lights zoom together and a hand reaches out for the mask. I can see the sorce of the voice properly now. A new Toa.
"It's my mask," says the Toa. "I'm Takura."
"But you can't be," I say. "I'm Takura."
"There will be a renaming day. You will have a new name."
"O.K. Let's get out of here."
We get out and I look at the Toa carefully. He's all silver with a silver sword and amazing mask. Zuzu was looking at us.
"T-t-takura? Who is-s-s-s this-s-s?"
"This is the eighth Toa," I say.
Takura looks at me. "You will be called... Tajuna."

Nice? I can stll be writing as a villager. Yay!

[Gold Tahu]

Ooh, clever.
------------------------------------------------
"Well, hello, Takura," Zuzu says, "It is a great honor to be one of the first to meet the Eighth Toa. I am Zuzu, a Chronicler of Ta-Koro. Somewhat like Takua the Chronicler, but I know a lot more about the history of Mata-Nui. So, where are we going?"

[Takura]

Very nice. But very short. Try to make it longer next time.
____________________________________________
"Ta-Koro of coarse," Takura said.
We went in the direction of Ta-Koro. When we got back everyone started to stare at us. I over-heard a few of thier whispers.
"Did Zuzu believe that nut?"
"Look at him! Takura and Zuzu were right."
"Who is he?"
It all felt rather disturbing. We ealked into Vakama's hut.
"Where is Jaller then?" I ask. Jaller was normally right beside Vakama.
"He's off to see Otuha. Hello Toa of Place. Tajuna. Zuzu. I welcome you all."
"But how do you-" Zuzu began
"The stars Zuzu. The stars and my fire."

[Gold Tahu]

"Ah, yes. The Sacred Fire," Zuzu says, rubbing his chin, "So, what should we do now? Our quest has ended so far."
"I don't know," Vakama says, "Go back to regular activities and wait for announcements." Zuzu bowes low.
"I will go back to my hut and continue my experiments," Zuzu says, walking out, "Good day, Turaga. Good day Takura. And Tajuma." he adds as he walks out the door and goes back to his hut. As he passes the gatekeepers he says, "So, by now you know that there IS an Eighth Toa, and he was right. But his name is not Takura anymore. Takura, the Toa of Place, has that name. The Matoran that found him is named Tajuma now. You owe him your apologies." Zuzu grins to himself as he walks into his hut.

[Takura]

Hehe. I like that a lot. I'm taking a rest for a bit. Watching a movie. Sadly it's not Bionicle the movie. Sigh.

[otuha]

I have a great temptation to put it on. But then about five more lights appear. I hear a deep and soft voice.
"Don't put that on little one," it says.

this particular line really sent chills down my spine...
I could actually hear the voice of the toa in the back of my mind, thats what I look for in a story...very well done!
would you want to do a co-writen epic with me takura and zuzu?
_____________________________________________

otua drove into ta-koro just as tajuma walked out of vakama's hut, where takura the toa of place was standing.

tajuma says to me" hey otuha, I found the eigth toa !!!"
otua replies to tajuma:" you did? are you sure?"
otua glances toward the group of ta-koronan beside him,
he studies their facial expressions and then looks back at tajuma..."I guess your serious... well, where the tuwo is he?"
tajuma points at vakama's hut and grins.
"he's in there! ;D ;D " makes a big grin.
otua runs off to the hut where there was already a large group of villagers gathered around the windows and door, otua stood in the back of the group looking over the other villagers to catch a glimps of the eigth toa... then otua just gives out a loud snort as his eyes turn to a bright -red(his regular eye color is orange) , otua walks behind a tohunga and taps his shoulder.
the tohunga turns around and jumps in fright of otua's appearance.
"step aside " otua says, the tohunga does just that as
otua walks to the front of the croud and into the door of the hut.

vakama says to otua:"otua, son of the chronicler,takua."
otua replies:" turaga vakama,takura,the eigth toa."
otua bowes .
I have come here to see if the rumors were true, apparently they are.otua says.
takura addresses otua:" the rumors about me are true, but their are other stories that have not been heard little one... when you came in here you had bright red eyes, then as you turned to us, your eyes turned orange... you have many attributes about you that will surely lead you to greatness, perhaps sooner than you think."
vakama adds:" indeed you are correct takura" vakama looks at otua" upon many times of danger otua has come to the rescue for many of my villagers, including myself several times."
takura looks at otua and says:"otua, will you be my second?"
otua looks at takura and thinks for a few moments then raises his head again otua begins to speak.-

cliff hanger~~
all in one sitting! heheh ! wait until you read what's coming up next.
~otuha

[Takura]

WOW! I'd love to write with you. :DThat was a really good chapter. Also I'd like readers to look out for The Legend of the Unknown World coming soon. Art by Dark Onua and Hunter and written by... ME! Here we go.
____________________________________________
I walked into Otua's hut looking sadder than sad can be. Zuzu was with him.
"What's wrong?" they ask.
"I've been thrown out of the guard."
"Why?"
"They said I need to work on my skills a lot. They say I would be a useless guard. But I can't go back to building because someone replaced me and they can't accept any more people."
"Well... we could maybe find something for you Tajuna."
"I doubt it. Now that Ta-Koro's population is growing-"
"Something seems special about you Tajuna. Like your blood is... of a heroes."
"Well I never knew my Mum and Dad. I didn't know anything about my family. So I wouldn't know if Tahu was my cousin!"
We all laughed. But I did feel a bit wierd. Why was I all silver and gray? But I didn't care really. I was glad I had friends like Otua and Zuzu.
____________________________________________

[Gold Tahu]

"If you were related to Tahu we'd be related," Zuzu says, "I'm related to him somewhat. We're kinda like brothers. I was a Toa before I became a Matoran. It's kinda a rare occurance, but I change into a golden version of Tahu now and then. You probably think I'm nuts don't you?"
"........." Otua says, looking down, "It's not too farfetched sounding. But it sounds pretty realistic, and you wouldn't lie, right?"
"Right," Zuzu says.
"I believe you," Tajuna says, "I mean, you believed me, when everyone else thought I was nuts. So I beleive you."
-----------------------------------------
Ooh, another twist. ;D Yeah, sure. It'd be cool to write with you guys. Before I was deleted on BZ by the server more than a year ago, I was quite the author in the Library, back when the Krana Fanatics was still a club.

[Takura]

Well I'm still in my good days of epic writing. Though the most popular epic I did was never finished and was more of a short story. But look out for my epic The Legend of the Unknown World which is coming soon.
____________________________________________
"Well," I said. "I don't think I have a Toa as a relative. I don't thi-"
"Wait," said Zuzu. "How do you know if your a Ta-Koronan if you never knew who your parents were?"
I looked down at the floor as a tear trickeled down my face. I didn't look up for several minutes. Only my sniffs broke the silence.
"I don't know where I come from," I said finally. More tears rushed past my nose. This was something not everybody knew. Only myself and the Turaga. But I was silver and gray. It was a unique colour. But then I heard a familiar soft voice.
"Your my brother."
____________________________________________
CLIFFHANGER!

[Gold Tahu]

You wanna cliffhanger? I'll show you a cliff hanger.
----------------------------------------------
At that moment Zuzu's experimental explosive devices he kept in his backpack went off, sending him flying out of the hut as he skidded against the Ta-Wahi ground, hurtling towards the cliff dropping into the lava river coming from the mountain.
"This will NOT end well," Zuzu says under his breath as he goes over the side. He frantically opens his backpack and searches for something to save him, but finds nothing, and puts his backpack on his back again, just as he passes a branch coming from the cliff side. The strap of his backpack gets caught on it and stops Zuzu's fall, but the wall around the branch is cracking. Zuzu sits, not looking at the lava, thinking about how he could escape from this.
-------------------------------------------------
It's literally a cliff hanger. ;D

[Takura]

Oooohhhhh!
____________________________________________
As we finally got to the ledge where Zuzu had fallen off we looked down. We saw he was hanging by a thread. Well, a branch more like. He was going to fall any minute.
"Do you have a lava surfboard?" I asked Otuha. He nodded.
"I also have a hover-board."
"Good. Give me the surfboard." He did as I said and I lept down. Before I passed him I gave Zuzu a surfboard. I stepped on the other and hit the lava with a splash. I heard another splash. Zuzu was right beside me. But was there an end to this river? Did it just go around in circles?
____________________________________________

[Gold Tahu]

Nice one!
------------------------------------------------
Zuzu looks in his bag again. There are more explosive devices. He takes three of them and throws then in front of them at the lava, creating a large wave of lava. Zuzu surfs up it and launches off. He twirls in mid-air and grabs the surfboard as he lands on the ground with a thud. The others land next to him.
"Thanks guys," Zuzu says, "I wouldn't have lasted much longer."
"Don't mention it," Tajuna says, "But where are we now?"
-------------------------------------------------
We're lost. ;D

[otuha]

I got this one!
how did you know that my tohunga had a hover board?
____________________________________________
indeed we were lost... none of us knew where we were which wasn't nessecarally a bad thing , now I would be able to teach tajuma what I know about fighting,that way maybe the gaurd would accept him again.
"hey tajuma, since were here would you mind if I tought you a few fighting techniques that I learned from
the time that I was in the gaurd?" I said,
tajuma replied" sure I guess but what is the sense in doing that? we can't find our way home, how will the gaurd see what you tought me if they can't even see us?"
zuzu interupted,:"yeah! how are we going to get home?!"
otua stares blankly for a moment at zuzu's hau then an old saying that whenua told him once while in onu-koro ...
"distance is not greater than your minds eye's view." otua says to the frantic ta-koronan.
"no matter where we are so long as we keep going foreward, we will make our way back home."
tajuma and zuzu glance at each other in a surprised manner ,then replied to otua"where did you learn that?"
they both said similtainiously.
"whenua told me once while I was working in the mines in onu-koro"otua replied.
a long silence casted over the three tohunga then otua turned around and squinted in the sunlight to get a view of their surroundings..."aha!"otua broke the silence"there is the burnt forest, if we can make it there I can lead us home in a giffy!"
the other two tohunga look at each other again and say:".... ok !..."and follow otua down the hill and into the forest.
[]
"***! ...darn it! .... geez ouh!" son of a@$%#$!!"
zuzu murmurs to otua" I thought you knew how to get us home??!""I do, me and my friends come back here to wrestle all the time, we don't go way back here, that's why the thornbrush is so thick here."otua replied"besides I can see the tree hut just a little ways away, once we get there we can stop and get a drink really quick and then it's only a few minutes till we get to the training hole,that way I can teach you how to fight tajuma."
tajuma,already tired from walking ,groans and says to otua"I don't want to learn to fight I just wanta go home."
otua looks at tajuma"are you kidding?! I thought you wanted to rejoin the gaurd!"
tajuma says:"I do but I really don't want to train for it right now."
"if you want to be in the gaurd your going to have to sacrifice a lot of yourself to get into shape... they aren't going to take a tired over-weight creempuff you know!"
tajuma leered at otua," that's it! no one calls me a creempuff!!"he said" as soon as we get there I'm going to train harder than anyone else!"
otua smirks"that's the spirit!" ....afew more moments pass by and the three of them enter the tree hut .
"ok, heres some water you guys ,we've been walking for a good couple of hours so you'll need this."
otua hands zuzu and tajuma each a bucket full of water.
otua climbed a ladder that was hanging from an opening in the cieling then comes back down with a weighted vest and some wooden sticks.
tajuma looks at the vest and then at the sticks and says "what's that stuff for?"
"your training" otua says with a huge smirk on his face.
