Takal

[Takal]

There's a lot of confusion about ria's name.
It's the name of a bohrok I created, then the name was passed on to the being made by the ria on MoD who, in our storyline created ria the bohrok.
This is the life story of one being in ria's army, a peculiar toa.

I'll list the characters in order, start a new post, and begin the story there. this isn't canon, but you knew that.
Takal: the main charicter.
Nuara: a matoran of the same island as takal
Mutran: makuta habitating the island takal lived on.
Toa in training: some became soldiers in ria's army
Maveric: toa of fire
Gurnak: sadly none of our seven gurnak survived through to 2008, though they were funny little blighters
Ria: warrior with power over electricity, leads an army that giver the toa or order a helping hand when needed.
Avak: Ria's weaponsmaster. made the Karzahnii gunship. a dirigible featuring in Ria's last story
Toa Jaller: after the events in the pit, Jaller joined the army, Ria saved the entire Mahrii from Maxilos
Lariska: Ria has Lariska perminantly hired. Avak discovered that she was ria's Ga-friend
RIA: the bohrok Ria, controls all bohrok elements and is contriversially the first bohrok, and hand-built, not evolved.
Roodaka: Terridax's answer to female dark hunter second in command
Sorrowix: makuta. I may write about him soon.
makutasuit: shadow titan armour with a mechanical mind. virtually everything proof.
Ria's makuta: left the brotherhood before the great cataclysm
Antroz: red bat guy. a good engineer.
Vamprah and Chirox: minor bad guys.
toa nuva: allies.
green toa of light: the only person who knows anything about him resides in the order
Doomtoran: matoran from karzahnii.

right, that about covers it. now, let me begin...

[Ria]

This could be intresting. You did remember to get rid of the crazier elements didn't you?

P.S.You missed Maroo and Ria's makuta is called Vorsis.

[Takal]

As a matoran of earth, I belonged to an island which Makuta Mutran used as his Lab. He threatened to unleash his horrible, twisted rahi onto us if we didn't give him two matoran a season. I picked the short straw, along with a Matoran called Nuara. We trudged up the mountainside to his fortress, the terrain growing more barren the higher we got. Eventually the small rahi were replaced by Manas and Lava Apes. Then the land turned so inhospitable that a Po-Matoran wouldn't cross it without good reason. Not even plants grew here, the land was scorched black by Mutran's creations 'playing'.
Finally we reached the fortress, a cluster of black towers surrounded by an electical fence, with a spiny gate for entry.
I cautiously moved over to the gate, and pushed it open.
Almost instantly the towering makuta flew down from the roof, and spoke.
"Enter, Matoran. follow me. wander away... and you'll run into one of my pets"
Nuara was visibly terrified. She was shaking, and too scared to scream.
Mutran dragged her down into the dark castle. I followed, looking behind me every few steps. I saw shapes in the shadows, shapes that moved. Whenever Mutran turned round to keep an eye on me, the shapes dissapeared.
Mutran threw us in a cell marked 'element adaption - waiting room'
We stayed in that sealed box for about a day, the only light coming from under the door. it had seemed pitch black out there before. the light showed that the room was solid. it could hold a Kane-ra, never mind a pair of terrified matoran.
Nuara wedged herself into a corner, her eyes darting back and forth, convinced that the mask of mutran was still pointed in her direction.
The following day, Mutran thew open the door, and pointed to another one accross the hall. we walked. The door was heavier tham the one in our cell, about as thick as Mutran (physically, not mentally) and reinforced.
We scrambled in, and found two benches, with arm and leg straps attached. it was like looking at a hangman's rope. Mutran forced me onto one, and strapped me down, then did the same to Nuara.
"I am going to change your element," he said. "Then I will turn one of you into a toa, to see if I have been successfull, then kill the toa."
I once again picked the short straw. Toa, then death.
Mutran pressed a button on the wall, and a pair of spiny objects flipped down from the roof, like mounted Zamor launchers.
Mutran left the room, and entered the one next door. he could see us through a pane of glass, we could see a pair of identical control panels. Mutran began to fiddle with them, and the turrets pointed at us. I turned my head to see Nuara. She had shut her eyes and was muttering a plea of help to Mata Nui.
The guns, and rays of energy were fired into us. the light blinded me, having sat a day in the shadows. I couldn't see Nuara, but I could hear her screaming. I realised I was, too. The pain was so great that my mind was trying to distact me. It was like seeing someone on fire, then realising that the someone is you. The firing stopped, and Nuara fainted. I was made more alert, which made the pain worse.
Mutran reentered the room with a toastone. He placed it on the table beside my head. It started to glow. So did I. The electric sparks going through me were no longer painful. They were energy. my element. This element was going to be put to good use on the Makuta towering over me, staff poised. He struck, and the spear cut open my armour, and chest.
Mutran pulled out his spear, and laughed. A cold laugh, of sick dreams realised. It echoed around the room, and woke up Nuara. she looked over, and saw a Gold-white toa, with his stomach split open. She threw up, all over the floor. Mutran raised his staff again, for the killing blow. My mask, a mask of regeneration, as luck would have it, shone. My stomach and armour blazed white, then healed.
Mutran dropped the spear, and jumped back, horrified. I fired an arc of electricity at each of the guns, and pilled them off of the roof, onto my manicles. the arm ones shattered. I sprung up, and the leg ones did the same. Mutran collected himself and fired some shadow at me. I dodged and the blasts hit and vaporised Nuara's bench, setting her free. I electrocuted the Makuta, and kicked him in the groin for good measure, before blasting open the door, grabbing Nuara under my arm and running for the hills. One of Mutran's previous experiments gave chase, and grabbed Nuara by the waist in its wolflike jaws. I blew the thing to Karzahnii and fled through the door, into the light.
We returned to the village, but the damage the beast had done to Nuara was too great, even for our healers. We had no choice but to have her healed in Karzahnii.
I leaned not less than a month later that Karzahnii had lost it. I could not possibly save Nuara and the other matoran on my own, and my lack of training didn't help. I had survived Mutran on instinct alone, but I coiuldn't go barging into Karzahnii on instinct. I needed training, and a team. Off to toa Metru...

Toa metru is an island on which rookie toa are trained. places like metru nui do not need to send their toa there, as they have many matoran to choose from, and the best suited can become toa without the need for training. On a small island like mine, the matoran are unprepared, and in need of training.
To get there, simply follow the map on the paper your toa stone is wrapped in. or, failing that, ask your neighbourhood turaga for his old one.
I did, and set sail. As soon as I saw the island, I was dumbstruck. it was completely level, at about fourty Kio above water level, ladders were built into the cliff faces on the edges of the island. A canister and ship bay was set in a cave inside the bay used for training ga-toa. I docked, and started climbing a ladder. It took hours to climb, while the ga-toa about me simply used the water to force themselves up.
Once at the top, I set off for the colloseum, the hall where toa were tested before being sent into battle. That, too was a majestic sight, it surprised me just how much it looked like Mutran's hive, while giving of an aura of success and power, whereas the hive was black and twisted.
The head of the island met me at the gates, and old and powerful ta-toa with a kanohi hau and red-gold armour.
"I am toa Maveric," he said. "Who are you, and what is your element?"
"My name is Takal," I replied. "My element is electricity."
To prove my point, I pulled my (newly discovered) staff off of my back, and sent blue sparks off. The toa looked genuinly shocked.
"Electicity is not a common element, and I only know one organic being other than yourself with it," he stated, rather impressed. "That being also has power beyond any toa, or any other being I know of, so I expect great things from you."
Maveric set me in the training area for beings with 'unusual' elements. For sheer elemental control, I could trumph any toa there, even Maveric. My physical power, however, was less than most other toa. I spent months trying to pass the tests, and when I finally managed, Ria arrived.
He was about the same as a toa in size and stature, but had a powerless kanohi Avohkii, and wings. A toa of fire with underwater breathing apperatus and a mask of sonar, a skakdi gunslinger, a dark hunter named Lariska and an army of bohrok followed him off of his blimp, into the colloseum and up to Maveric. I was training in the arena against the resident toa - sized Maxilos, and caught the gist of the conversation.
A being called Roodaka, a makuta called Terridax, one called Sorrowix and a team of Rahkshii had infiltrated sona nui's bohrok nest and killed most of them. The hundred or so following Ria were the only survivors.
Ria and his army set up camp on the island and toa training was cancelled for a few days. In that few days the skakdi, called Avak, and the toa, named Jaller, discovered the mother of all bombs lying underneath the island. The timer, set in hours, had gone down to three. Sorrowix planned to kill us all.
Ria ordered everyone into the war - blimp and set off at speed, Avak at the helm. A blinding flash followed by a deafening bang threw Avak off the seat, Maveric pushed him aside and turned the engines off. He turned to Ria.
"I think we may need to borrow sona nui for a few months while we sort out the damage on toa metru. If you need any more people in your army, I'll fight with you again."
"Agreed," replied the warrior, "We will stop the makuta if it costs my entire army and myself."
"Ria, I think my training here is finished, but untill I have a team I can't fulfil my duty. Until then, can I serve in your army?"
I said this, and Ria turned around, surprised.
"Takal, no offence but you are a rookie, and a toa."
"Actually, maveric says I'm the strongest toa here, but I am somewhat lacking in physical power."
Maveric nodded in agreement. I asked Ria again, and he agreed, with some reluctance. I learned why later. Ria's army was an army, not a police like the toa. Ria trained all but his toa to kill. Other than toa, there was a makuta, Vorsis was his name. he had reformed. there were two dark hunters, Lariska and Maroo. Lariska had been given a prototype midak sky cannon, an improvement on the blaster used by the Nuva. As armies went, though, Ria's was pretty laid back. Avak even had a motorbike to use in his spare time.
I fought for a few months in the army, before we finally moved to Karda nui to aid the nuva. I can't explain it all, but here's the gist:
We fought and killed a Makutasuit, shadow titan armour wearing a fake Krahkenn actually used as a robot brain for the suit. it landed in an arena filled with wet floor, killing hundreds of warrior matoran and bohrok. everyone around me was killed. I suffered not a scratch, and realised an element could be a curse as well as a mata-nui given power.
We faced off many times with Makuta Sorrowix, a Makuta who absorbed the energies of the dead and dying to strengthen himself. Ria had a particular hatred towards him. Only Lariska, RIA and Vorsis know why, and they aren't giving up their secrets.
On arrival at Karda Nui, Antroz was captured. His chivalric nature prevented him from rejoining his brotherhood when the chance came up, so he joined up with us.
Terridax arrived, and the Makuta became a whole lot tougher.
Lewa and Kopaka discovered a glass canister containing a green toa. A toa of light. He told us that his destiny was to free the matoran of Karzahnii. Alone.
I was overwhelmed with joy and outrage, that Nuara would soon be safe, but I had wasted years of training.
He left.
Now would be a good time to to explain that soldiers in Ria's army were told of the secrets of the order of Mata Nui. The army usually worked in parallel with the Order, but Ria's army was for the good of the universe, not just mata nui, so we often conflicted. Botar was the worst. He seemed to get in the way whenever victory was inevitable, and teleported the bad guy out from under the business end of someone's weapon, and into the pit. Botar became a word to use to describe someone as you would describe with a swear.
He returned.
A group of grey matoran with stonelike armour followed him, these matoran had been turned to stone by his evilness, but our mystery toa had changed them back.
Nuara walked near the front, holding a sheild and a disk launcher.
Suddenly, from up above, Mutran dropped his Tridax pod. The head matoran, who used to be a Le- matoran, vaporised it with a lava launcher he had found in the realm of Karzahnii. I shocked the winged B**** (Botar) out of the air.
"We've been to Karzahnii, Makuta," said Nuara defiantly, "We've seen unimaginable horrors even you would not try to reproduce, and we've become inanimate objects. Do you really think we're afraid of a ball of air in a metal bat?"
Ria stepped forward, and raised his staff above the stunned Makuta's head.
"Toa don't kill, Mutran, or Takal would have killed you long ago. What you did to him and Nuara is unforgivable. Do't expect mercy from me, I'm not a toa."
Ria raised his staff up to the 'decapitation' height. Lewa grabbed his arm.
"Toa do not let others kill, either. Let this rat wind-fly back to his nest. He's the least of our worries. Sooner or later one of his experiments will finish him off."
Ria lowered the staff, and kicked the Makuta.
"Go, before I change my mind."
Mutran took off into the night, and Nuara rushed over to me.
"Takal? you look... different."
This was true, I was larger than I had been when Mutran forced me into being a toa.
"I can say the same for you, you look stronger..."
I searched for words.
"... and a bit more like masonry?" Nuara added helpfully.
"I was going to put it more tactfully, but yes, that's it."
"He-Hem." butted in Avak, "Antroz got my bike, has anyone seen it?"
life had returned to the norm for Ria's army.

[Takal]

so, whaddayou think?
That's it, I'm done with Takal. I had an idea for a funny ending but it's confusing for all but myself and Ria.
I'm writing another bio of one of Ria's soldiers.
see you next time:
The Arfing Beaver.

[toamiru4]

Well first let me say that I don't like the fact that you double posted. Second, the story was great, I saw everything in my head, great details. Now as for Roodaka, she is dead, and died by Keetongu in Adventures 9.

[Ria]

You are mistaken my friend. Roodaka is alive and kicking. She was some how saved by Terradax and is now fighting for the order of Mata Nui but don't think most of beaver's story is canon. We have both fiddled with things to make our story and the spinoffs make sense.

[toamiru4]

Well, how did she come back to life? I made an error, Sidorak was killed by Keetongu and Roodaka by the Toa Hordika.

[Ria]

I don't know but read the serials and you will know what I speak of.

[ExplorerAegis]

Jesus toamiru stop picking holes in FICTION, you MASSIVE NERD.

[Ria]

Argh there is place for stuff like this. please post in the review topic.

[Takal]

one small storyline adaption, Maveric doesn't die.

Nor did Roodaka. after the hordika shot their spinners at her, they smashed her protodermis 'jewel' shattering it and the protodermis around Terridax, and setting him free. he immediatly teleported her somewhere safe. THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENED!

[toamiru4]

Sorry.

[Takal]

's 'kay.
