A severely cough overcome Matau’s health that made Onewa anxious. He watches the Toa of Air wrap himself in a nice warm blanket around him and held it very tightly against the cold protodermis where they had last camped. Carefully Onewa added more feed to the fire, where it burns wildly to the windy cold. Matau flinched of the memory of fire burn passionately, and Onewa had no idea, Matau cared so much of that one certain red Toa, he took it in a vital problem. Noticing his stare, Matau looked up with confusion of what he could be thinking, Onewa cringe and looked away, ignoring his intentions, thus Matau sneer aside, annoyed of everyone especially to Onewa who deeply concerns the green one more likely. Looking back to see his actual reaction, Onewa thought it was humorous that he acted so likely as a youngling who refuses of confession of something they like. Matau soon found it irritating of his laughter, and looked up to him, with a mean look.

“What’s so funny!?” He protest but Onewa couldn’t help but laugh still thinking about the thought, slowly after some time, he stopped his laughter tears and this made Matau uneasy.

“Oh nothing…” He chucked a few, as he said. Matau shyly sighed aside, as he knew he couldn’t join other’ happiness because lately he been thinking about Vakama and especially his confession when he said “I love you…” It must be sin, Matau thought, remembering everything he been though even with Vakama…slightly he groaned of the pain of his devotee, coming to him, confessing he loved him then suddenly making him join the Villainy Hood that is leaded by a poisonous queen and shadowy king. Matau glitch as he remembers he threatens Vakama to stay away from him as he felt the desire of massacring because of the beastly creature that lived within him. Reminded of that situation, he had slaughter his shoulder blade and as proof, he took one glance of his purity bladed arm and this shocked Matau. How could this be, the evidence of the blood washed away like if it was never there. Matau soon return his eyes back to Onewa, who was carefully getting the fire settled into a calmer state. Watching how, he tranquil the flames gently, the green Toa was reminded he was overreacting about the blood anyway. Looking back to his cursed blade of his, Onewa had spoken.

“I cleaned it for you.” The attention grew upon brown Toa as watches Matau continuous to stare directly at him as if his latest wounds were a valuable portion of him. Growing weary of Matau’s concern of injuries, Onewa worried about him and it seems Matau wanted to know, how he was able to wash them as if the wounds never exists. “When you got back, and fainted, I took you to a spring to wash away the bleedings.” Matau grimace blush, again Onewa thought his reaction was hilarious. Matau could tell, he was about to release his amusement in front of him again thus he saddened as he thought all he ever do is to make fun of his responses. “I’m sorry, Matau,” recalled Onewa as he kneed in front of him. “It just that it funny how you look every time your frown,” Matau blushed madly as he noticed he was so nearby, and just like the thought of Vakama was coming to him of seductive. “And I just couldn’t help myself but laugh…it just makes me happy to see you…” Onewa never had a chance to finished as it was unexpected from Matau himself, a light kiss was plastered to Onewa’s lips silencing his words. Slowly Matau moved away with intensely redness on his cheeks with Onewa stunned of his actions had twisted his feelings much more.

“Vakama…” Onewa twitched as he once recall Matau calling an familiar use to be Toa leader to him, when he was washing away his wounds where he had carried him to the spring. Soon the green Toa stood fairly tall but not much taller then the rest of the Toa group; in fact, he was the youngest of all six heroes until one of them decided heroism along with valuable companionship wasn’t everything and he was rated the second youngest that Matau very much value his relationship with. Onewa continue to stare the young green one who stood timeless still and the layer of the blanket fell off his shoulders, following his stand, Onewa noticed he was much taller then him after all.

“Um…is there something we should talk about…?” Shyly the brown one asked, slowly Matau revealed his strain tears before the Toa of Stone on his mask then a sudden thump hit Onewa into his main.

“Sorry…” Matau ran off with heavy burden of guilt plunged onto him and this shocked Onewa. Watching him run off in seconds, the view of Matau was gone in gust of the blustery wind. What was this warm feeling that Onewa held inside? That growing blazing feeling as if it was some disease of sort, even thou his forehead burned to the touch as he was catching a fever. And he wasn’t expecting of an attack come for him that time. His back was jabbed with blistering burns of the fire heat. Focusing of who he been attacked by, he gasped as another attack hit hard to his chest as he nearly choked of his own bloody liquids. Desperately stray on the white grounds, he glazed upon his attacker. A surprised hand choked him higher then he could stand.

“Weak…” Vakama responded coldly upon his older brother as he clutches a little tighter around his neck, Onewa did nothing but gasp and struggle with the strong hand that Vakama held him by.

“So what if, I am…” Onewa confessed out that made Vakama smirk as he chuckled, he thrown him off as the Toa of Stone landed beside the settled campfire. Poisonous eyes glared upon his orangey ones as while Vakama slither close with his torched arm lit by the campfire. Carefully the torch was near against Onewa cheek that slowly his mask smelt of burn. The other hand lay against his collar once more, grasping tight, Vakama could hear clearly of his suffering groaning.

“I dare you to beg, brother…” Onewa eyes flinched as he believed his body had betrayed him to cannibalism. With his weaponry tool on his side, he slashed it harshly against Vakama emotionless face. Bring him, though the campfire flames and lay flatly on the ground, growling with burn touches. Onewa roared, unable to control his selfish actions and Vakama soon took it as an enjoyment fun. Beast to beast, Vakama dodged every attack Onewa had made fiercely at him, finding it irritating trying to hit Vakama, Onewa roared angrily at him releasing his inner self-centered creature and thus Vakama made his quick move. Onewa yelped as he stumbled backwards with his face bruised with a burn mark. It felt a sizzling pain that piecing though his mask, melting into oozing moisture. “Stupid and yet foolish, brother…” Vakama had spoken and so Onewa responded with carnivore expression. Bruiting him, Vakama back down to hail the true beast that he been defeated by but yet stubborn Onewa wasn’t finished. Rising high of his weapon, Vakama dodged his fallen stabbing attack that surprised Onewa as Vakama had sudden appear behind him, and knock hard against him. Onewa fell backwards into a collapsed state where Vakama had catches him, comfortably. There Vakama smiled of his victory and the prize he had won. Soon sounds of buzzing and chirping where overwhelming his hearing, glazing over while snarling at the Visorak who were following him recently, Vakama wasn’t pleased of their appearances. “What is it?” He sharply snapped as while Visorak buzzed back to his reply. “She what…?” He waited as the black Visorak continue to speak “Really now? Heh…she checked on me on the right time then…let’s go Oohnorak.” He recoils as he hears the black Visorak speak a different topic. Looking back to the Visorak, Vakama smirked. “Me betray the queen…? Well there is a good chance…I will.” Oohnorak chirped as Vakama carefully listen well to his trusted Visorak. “Of course, Oohnorak, you’ll been very loyal to me…I’ll do what I can, and that you will deserve the very best.” Vakama had a very low of loyalty; he knew in fact when he was leader of the Toa, none of his Toa believed him, to be even fit to be one, expect for…Nokama. Vakama flinched as he remembered the Toa of Water fairly well, she trusted his lead, and she trusted his choices then why didn’t she trust him for being so naïve…Vakama raged inside of his heart that turned poisonous green, killing him slowly and stillness. So far, he doesn’t like the king or the queen yet…who can he trust to then? Since the black Visorak breeds were merely objects in the Visorak horde, and suicidal subjects. There Vakama felt sort of sorry for them and had gained certain respect from single black Visorak. Hearing his friend, chirped, Vakama looked at him sharply and there he understood. They must leave before the other Toa had returned, while taking Onewa with them.

It was cold and yet windy, Matau could barely see what was in front of him as the snow was basically covering his way, first Vakama and now Onewa, what was wrong with him, why does he feel so dazed when he was with them? He doesn’t know as Matau couldn’t even focus right now as he swears he was catching a cold, or probably worst a fever. Fallen to the cold ground, he shivered as the blizzard was a hazardous to his heath and to his mental state.

“Matau…!” Matau shocked his eyes opened, as his name was echoed in the winds, following with familiar running Toa of Water towards him. Hands grasps around him, with fast embrace there Matau shyly blushed as the blue Toa, concern smiled. Soon two more familiar faces had greeted him.

“You’re back!” recalled a tall black Toa, where Matau slightly nodded.

“Yeah…” He ghastly said, Nokama let go of him, and helped the shivering green Toa to stand then the white Toa placed a hand upon his shoulder.

“We were worried about you, so we came looking for you.” Replied Nuju protest that made Matau uncomfortable because of the tone, he had used. “At least you’re alright.” He responded in more, softer tone, Matau shyly smiled.

“Yeah…” He exclaimed as he felt stroke hit his veins harshly, he gasped as the other three freaked. He fell as quickly Nokama caught him in her arms, calling his name, hoping for a respond before his conscious faded away.

“Quickly back to the camp!” And that’s was the last thing he heard before he had fallen into a weak condition.

Onewa cringe his body wildly of his awaking in an entirely different environment, quickly switching his eyes in every angle, he could feel the urge of the beast grow in more control of him. Soon he calm himself down as he realized he been tied and he was freely seductive.

“Morning, Onewa.” He flinched and quickly responded wildly about hoping every move would keep the stranger away of course that failed. His chest pound, as he was slammed flat to the ground where his attacker pinned him there. “Relax …the beast within you has yet to obey your every command.” His eyes sharpen to the figure face, where he made his eyes were merely blurry because of his desperate struggle. He snarled at the pain, where the hand was placed over his chest. The beast within him fiery fired to his veins where he lost control of beastly side. The ropes that held him snapped as he tries to attack the stranger with his sharper claws.

“Onewa…!” Hands grasps his sharp clawed wrists, he glared carefully behind him where the color red had flashed back his memories to someone, he once knew fairly well till things had changed.

“Vakama…” He responded before he fainted off into his arms, Vakama gasped as his fallen brother had lost his conscious once more, the stranger soon walked up to Vakama and to his tired brother.

“Onewa…” Vakama whispery called as if he cared for his brother, a feminine hand was placed over his shoulder as he looked up to her with his poisonous eyes.

“Don’t cry, a leader never cries…” The cold grip was removed away as Vakama watched his highness left the chamber. Looking back to his brother, he held him tightly with shred less tears overwhelm his emotions of his brother.

“Norik, how is he…?” Eyes looked upon the red Rahaga as he was given a heavy responsibility piled upon his back; he looked at Matau structure carefully for any clues or hints that might have cause Matau to collapse, he then looked at the rest of the Toa Hordika, his face pleased a smile.

“He is alright, he just overwhelm with a common cold possibly a fever.” Nokama was first to respond with a flinch but refused to speak, Norik looked confused and questioned the water Toa, what’s wrong.

“Nothing…I just thought, that we might just lose him as we did with um…”

“Vakama,” Responded Nuju source-fully as he knew what she was thinking of and this freighted her Toa spirit. “Always Vakama…” He recalled coldly, he stood up and stand against the bitter cold. “We should leave; I think a storm is coming up.”

“Agreed,” Nokama had said.

“But what about Onewa, he still hasn’t return!” Whenua answered harshly, this earned him a coldly stare from Nuju. It was very scariest moment Nokama ever encountered as if Nuju had changed into a more aggressive being. Slowly the moment died away, as Nuju calmed himself.

“We’ll just leave him a trail to find us.” He had said, as Nuju came and pick up Matau into his arms, he glared at the others. “Shall we leave, it look like nature is against us.” When he left, that tone, Nokama recalled about Nuju had changed completely.

Their journey was cold but still Whenua worried about Onewa disappearance, when they found shelter from the chilly breeze; he suggests they should go look for Onewa. Norik agrees and left with him, leaving Nokama and Nuju taking care of Matau, and this was her chance…

“Nuju…” Her voice was firm and brave with nervous shook. As his name was called, he glared at her coldly with every speck of the formation of his eyes. The water Toa was shocked stun but she continued her bravery with words. “Is something the matter…?” Nuju ignored her only leaving with a shiver down her bluely spine, the surprised Nuju looked back at her again.

“What do you mean?” She choked for second of his deviously glare but she continued.

“It seems you have changed...your tone, your style, everything…” Nuju chuckled as if he resumes it as a joke, this sacred Nokama greatly as his hand had taken her wrist. “Nuju…you’re scaring me…” His odd eyes looked upon her with fury coldness formed deeply.

“I still look forward to the future, don’t I Nokama?” Nokama shivered, but nodded her head.

“Of course, once we find the cure of the Hordika poison and rescue Vakama, we are freed to go back as Toa heroes once more.” She explained but she always noticed when she said ‘Vakama’ Nuju flinched and let go of her wrist, facing his bare back to her eyes. “Nuju…” Nokama gasped when a sudden hand jointed against her collar and grasped held tightly.

“Why Vakama!?!” Nuju shouted loudly, the chamber shook of angry tone of his voice, slowly Matau responded with a grunt.

“Nuju stop it…please…” Nokama gasped desperately with her hands held to his clutched hand to her neck. “I’m begging you…” Nuju didn’t even flinch as he did not care as tighten more of his hold, lifting her high above the ground as he knew the Hordika poison had reached his anger point.

“Sorry, this is how it ends…” He whispery recalled as Nokama knew though her brother’s eyes. She was yet to fail…

A cough was sounded loudly as Nuju shiftily moved his sights upon Matau. Seeing what he was doing to their only sister, Matau was startled with shock.

Nokama was afraid, more afraid letting Matau seeing this happen to her even if it’s their brother was killing her right now. But what can’t be done? Matau had already decided to attack the white Toa with force. With bladed teeth, Nokama was thrown across the room as Nuju ravaged over the youngest Toa. As not much of a choice was made, Matau made a run for it outside into the icy blizzard.

“Matau…!” Nuju roared as he lost him in the cold.
