Bionicle: Tahu\'s Arrival. A fan-fiction by Saito Hikari
Swish......creeeaakk.......The mysterious capsule opened with a brilliant flash of light. In it, rested a red colored body and other red components. The parts were forced out into the sand.
The body moved slightly...standing up eventually. \"W-where am I? WHO am I?\". The figure looked upward at the gukko birds flying overhead. He suddenly gave himself a name, Tahu. Somehow, the name fit. He then noticed for the first time the other two pieces that had rested with him. A fire shaped sword and an odd mask.
He wasn\'t concerned with the mask, for it had no purpose to him. The sword, on the other hand, excited Tahu, so he picked it up. It was heavy and hard to hold for Tahu. \"Stupid piece of junk!\" He put his gaze upon the mask again. What was its purpose? He wondered this and then picked up the bright red mask. He put it to his face. Suddenly, his sword ignited with a brilliant blaze of fire, and wasn\'t quite as heavy. \"Now THIS is more like it!\" he said with satisfaction.
While he looked at his sword, now so bright and powerful, he pondered about this power. \"This power...what is it for? What is my purpose? What is my destiny?!? \"Suddenly, a small inhabitant of this area, ran up to the greatly confused Tahu. \"Toa Tahu! is it...really... \"Tahu glared at the villager. It seemed familiar... His mask...just like his, except yellow in color. He had a red body, and two small legs.
\"Oh, excuse me, Toa Tahu. I am Matoran Jaller, captain of the Ta-koro guard. Turaga Vakama asks for your presence.\"
Tahu: \"Wait...how did you...? \"Matoran? Toa? Turaga? What were the meanings of these unfamiliar words? Seeking answers, The toa followed the strange maoran into a Volcano. In it, were more Matoran, each wearing a mask, all different. \"These masks must mean something...\" thought Tahu.
In the center of the volcano, a larger matoran, orange and black with a mask that was round on top with a huge gap and an elephant like trunk walked up to the amazed Tahu.
\"Hello,Toa Tahu. How went your travel?\"
\"Travel...who are you?!\"
\"I am Turaga Vakama, the elder of Ta-koro. You must be weary, so I will fill you in. You are on an island called Mata-nui, our protector, of which we named our island paradise after, has fallen into a great slumber by his brother, The Makuta. Legends told of six toa, who will help awaken the great spirit. You are a toa, protector of this village. There are 5 more others like you. And 5 more kanohi masks.\"
\"Kanohi...?\" Kanohi mask? The mask he had found on the beach, now implanted on his face. So they DID have a meaning. All he had to do now was listen and wait for an explanation. \"The kanohi...like yours on your face now, each have a different power. Yours, the great kanohi hau, the mask of shielding.\"
Tahu glared through his eye-holes of his hau mask, staring at the turaga. This was all he needed to know. \"The second mask is in the place of far seeing \" And with those words, Tahu departed on his quest to retrieve the great kanohi masks of power.
