The Reign of Teridax: Tahu: Part 1

I know I've already released this, but I renamed a few things, and changed a few things on 9-24-09
Tahu: be sure to check out the pics for him, but here's the story part 1. This story is intertwined with The Reign of Teridax: Pohatu part 1. The beginning of the story starts there

  Tahu stealthily approached a camp of rahkshi. Activating his adaptive armor, he became invisible. His adaptive armor's embedded Kanoka included a Concealment Kanoka built into the armor. (In addition to his protosteel battle armor, he had picked up a protosteel bi-blade sword made also on Artahka and connected it to the rest of his armor). He was able to find what he was looking for, a pool of energized protodermis where rahkshi were being created. It was heavily guarded by about 30 rahkshi. He knew he could take 15 of them, but 30, he would be risking his life. Then there was the army that was camped about 33 bios away (150 feet). He got close enough and set a timed explosion of fire (A Toa Nuva exclusive power) he did not go un-noticed though. The Rahkshi saw a glow of heat from Tahu's invisible hand. A light purple rahkshi, the rahkshi of Mind-Reading, read an unknown mind: Tahu's; and the battle ensued. Tahu lost his invisibility once a rahkshi blade scraped his armor as they were slashing. Now that they had a target, energy beams were lighting up the night sky. Tahu dodged out of the way of a chain-lightning rahkshi, and it destroyed two other rahkshi. He ignited his sword to white heat temperatures and was a blur, cleaving in two, rahkshi after rahkshi. Fortunately for Tahu, they were distracted so much with him, that they did not see the tell-tale signs of the timed explosion, but Tahu had to get to his group, (Pohatu and Lariska) before it went off. He got to them in time and shielded them with a double-thick shield, using his mask of shielding, as the massive explosion from fire and energized protodermis ensued. Mission accomplished! They just were waiting for Lesovikk now.

  Lariska then found herself in a stasis field. Pohatu began to break her out, while Tahu focused on the bigger problem: The rest of the army of Rahkshi was attacking. They had lost enough of their own in the blast to know what had happened. and they knew what the source was when they saw Tahu and his group. Pohatu, had stronger thrusters, thanks to his battle armor, adaptive armor form, so he picked up Lariska and moved to the cover of the river.

  Tahu created a dome of white hot fire over the rahkshi, giving him about two minutes: plenty of time. He flew to a different spot in the water and also dove deep. two of his thrusters converted to water thrusters and two converted to his air filtration system. He met up with Pohatu and Lariska. They split up, Lariska went to meet up with some other resistors. Pohatu and Tahu went to one of the Toa Nuva's bases: the Auqodrex.

  

  The Aquodrex was a cave used originally by some of the Nynrah Ghosts (elite matoran). You can imagine how complex it was, just because they built it. The opening looked like any other cave. If you ventured inside, all you would see would be different passageways and you would have to know which one was which to get to the codrex-style entrance. The nynrah ghosts used the same architecture of the codrex to build the place (Hence it's name). The keystones had all been found and they were each carefully hidden, separated from each other by the Toa Nuva. Tahu thought to himself while he and Pohatu were collecting them. One day, either we will be dead, or Mata Nui will return, and all of our work will be worth it. 

  Helryx, leader of the now fragmented Order of Mata Nui, was the only one who knew about this place until she told Tahu. It was strictly the Toa Nuva's and her secret. At the moment, Tahu did not know wether she was alive, or dead (In reality, she was in the mind of Teridax, looking on while he worked on the complete conquest of the universe).

  The keystones were accounted for, and the two Toa went into the passageway behind the entrance. All of the sudden, Tahu could not move. He and Pohatu were held stock-still by an unknown force. "Welcome" said a voice..... to be continued
