LBT Fanfiction / Quest for the Energy Stones
« on: January 28, 2009, 06:24:57 PM »
The fanale is still a long way off. Also, the Jala/Hahli thing has been an actual part of the Bionicle storyline since the end of 2002, but seems to be less noticeable these days.
Anyway, I can't believe that it's been over two months since I last updated!
I guess I just lack the encouragement. I've even started to consider canceling the series of sequels I've been planing for this story (don't worry, I'll wait until I'm done this story before making a final decision). What am I waiting for? Here's the next chapter (finally).
-------
Chapter 41
The Burning Mountains
Takua and the gang gathered at Kini-Nui earlier than they had previous times. This was because Jala would be waiting for them to uncover the clue to the next Energy Stone and they didn't want him to wait for a long time again.
“I'm glad we only have one more Energy Stone left to find,” commented Cera. “I'd much rather accidentally walk into danger instead of having to do it on purpose.”
“Yeah, but Makuta has been trying to stop us from finding the Energy Stones,” said Littlefoot. “Since there's only one more left, he'll try everything he can to stop us.”
“But we still need the clue because we'll never find the Energy Stone if we don't know where to look,” said Ruby.
“Ruby's right, we still need to uncover the clue,” said Takua. “Littlefoot and Cera are the only ones who have not yet touched the tablet, so one of them needs to do it so we can find out what the clue is.”
“Fine, I'll do it,” grumbled Cera. She then walked up to the tablet, raised one of her feet, and touched the tablet. As soon as she did so, another single row of letters appeared below the other revealed clues. “I don't find anything special about that anymore.”
Takua then began to read the clue. The symbol on the left resembled a flame, proving that the last Energy Stone to find was indeed the Energy Stone of Fire. “To find the Energy Stone of Fire, we will need to seek 'deep within the burning mountains',” said Takua.
“The Burning Mountains?” said Chomper. “That sounds like a dangerous place.”
“Yes it is,” said Littlefoot. “Back when we were trying to get to the Great Valley for the first time, we had to pass through those mountains. We almost died there.”
“I'm guessing it's a volcanically active region,” said Takua. “Good thing Jala is volunteering to come with us. Not only is he a good fighter, but he is also a Ta-Matoran, so he is capable of handling the dangers of such a place.”
“Jala said we have to meet up with him at the Eastern Pass, so I think we need to go there first before we start trying to find the Energy Stone,” said Littlefoot. Everyone agreed and headed for the Eastern Pass, which actually happened to be on the way to the Burning Mountains.
________
Takua and the gang soon arrived at the Eastern Pass at the edge of the Great Valley. Jala, who now had his own backpack to carry the things he would need, was waiting for them, but he wasn't alone. Waiting nearby was another Ta-Matoran, Kapura. “Why is Kapura here?” asked Cera. “I thought Jala was the only one who would be waiting for us.”
“I assure you it was not my idea,” replied Jala. “Turaga Vakama insisted that we take Kapura with us.”
“Why should we? He'll only slow us down.”
“He may be slow, but there must be something about him that made Vakama want him to come with us. I don't know what it is, but perhaps it is best that we just let him come.”
Kapura was among the few Matoran Cera didn't like at all. He walked unusually slow, and the things he said often didn't make any sense to her. However, they still needed to find the Energy Stone of Fire, so she was willing to tolerate him for today.
Now joined by Jala and Kapura, the group headed through the pass out of the valley to begin their search for the Energy Stone of Fire.
________
It was obvious when the group arrived at the Burning Mountains. These mountains were actually active volcanoes. The air felt very hot and lava flows were a common sight in the area. Although most of the gang had been here before, this place seemed unfamiliar to them.
“This place looks very different from the last time I remember it,” commented Cera.
“I wouldn't be surprised,” said Jala. “This is a very active region. The landscape itself is constantly changing.”
Suddenly, they all felt the ground shake a little. Most of them were quite startled, but the shaking soon stopped, followed by the sound of a rock falling into a nearby lava flow. “Try to stay away from the edge of the lava flows,” suggested Jala. “We wouldn't want anyone to accidentally fall into one.” The gang heeded this warning and decided to walk close to the Ta-Matoran, just to be safe.
After a few minutes, the group felt the ground shake again. This time, however, the shaking didn't stop and a large crack in the ground began to form. Takua was the first to notice the crack forming. “Look out!” shouted Takua, who knew that such a crack would quickly widen enough for someone to fall through.
Everyone quickly got away from the crack. However, Littlefoot, Ducky, Spike, and Ruby realized they were on the other side of the crack from the others. Not wanting to possibly be stranded, they tried to go to the other side. Unfortunately, the ground split apart at the crack just as they were over it. Ruby managed to safely reach the other side, Spike barely managed to hold onto the edge, and Littlefoot fell into the expanding crack, but quickly managed to grab onto the rocky wall. Ducky lost her balance and fell off of Spike's back. Littlefoot, who could already see lava rising through the crack, smacked Ducky with his tail, causing her to land on a rocky outcrop on the other side instead of in the lava.
The shaking soon stopped and the lava in the crack stopped rising. Takua helped Spike climb over the edge, but Littlefoot and Ducky were now trapped. “Help us!” shouted Littlefoot.
“Don't worry! We'll think of something!” called Takua.
Ducky looked down at the lava that was not far below. She was terrified. Suddenly, she felt a large hand grab her and pick her up, which caused her to scream. The stranger's hand raised her to his face and she realized that it was Kapura! “Do not worry. You are safe with me,” said Kapura, calmly.
The rest of the group was baffled by how this was possible. “Is that Kapura? How did he get down there?” asked Cera as she faced the others.
“You wish to ask me something?” asked someone who was right behind Cera.
Cera quickly turned around to see Kapura standing right there with Ducky still in his hands! Cera quickly looked back at the outcrop and saw no one was there anymore. She quickly looked back and forth between where Kapura was a minute ago and he was now. She was now very confused. “But- How- How did you-?” She could even finish asking her question.
Fortunately, Kapura knew what she was trying to ask. He gently put Ducky on the ground and said, “It is as Vakama said. I practiced and became skilled. I now know the secret art of traveling great distances very quickly by moving slowly. It is a small matter for me to be wherever I am not. It is a useful skill, as you have just seen.”
Everyone looked back at the outcrop just in time to see it break off and fall into the lava. “That was really impressive, Kapura,” said Littlefoot, who was still holding onto the rocky wall. “Unfortunately, I don't see how your new skill can save me from where I'm trapped.”
“Don't worry, Littlefoot. We'll think of some way to save you,” called Chomper. Chomper then looked back at the rest of the group and quickly realized one of them was missing. “Where's Takua?” he asked.
The others quickly noticed this. “Don't tell me he decided to wander off again!” exclaimed Cera. “This is hardly the time to do such a thing.”
“Actually, he's doing something much worse right now,” said Jala, as he pointed at a large rock along the crack, not far away. Climbing that rock was Takua, who held his lavaboard in one of his hands. Once he reached the top of that rock, he looked down at the lava that filled the crack as he held his lavaboard in front of him.
“Takua?” asked Chomper. “What are you doing?”
“What does it look like I'm doing? I'm going to rescue Littlefoot!” replied Takua. He then jumped off the rock and held his lavaboard underneath him as he splashed onto the lava. Fortunately, the currents in the lava were now flowing in such a direction that it allowed him to ride directly towards Littlefoot. He stopped himself by grabbing onto the rocky wall right below Littlefoot. “Littlefoot, jump on!” shouted Takua
Littlefoot wasn't sure about it, at first. What Takua seemed to be planing seemed very dangerous, but he quickly realized that this might be his only chance. He took a deep breath and let go of the rocky wall. He landed right on top of Takua, who, as a result of the impact, let go of the rocky wall and caused them to be carried further down the crack by the lava.
They soon ended up at the end of the crack and were now riding down a larger rapidly-moving lava flow. There was not much room on the lavaboard, so Littlefoot had to position himself over Takua in such a way that he would allow Takua to be able to guide them to safety.
As they rode the lava flow, Takua asked Littlefoot to help lean the lavaboard with him to make it easier to steer them away from rocks and other hazards. Takua then saw rapids up ahead and there seemed to be no way to avoid them. He quickly scanned the rapids and saw one part of it that might actually help them rather than harm them. He steered towards a specific part of the rapids, which caused them to be flung high into the air and land on the solid rocky ground nearby. The rest of the group soon arrived and were relieved to see that they were both okay.
“Are you sure that idea you came up with was a good idea?” asked Ruby to Takua.
“Not really, but I couldn't think of any other way to save Littlefoot,” replied Takua.
Suddenly, everyone felt the ground shake again. This time, they were dangerously close to the edge of a lava flow. Cera happened to be standing so close to the edge that the rock she was standing on broke off of the edge and ended up floating down the lava flow. She screamed as the rock carried her further down the lava flow, which soon came to a stop as it got stuck against the rocky wall on the other side of the lava flow.
The rest of the group quickly got as close as they could to Cera. Kapura used his new skill to suddenly appear right behind Cera. “Do not worry. This rock is stuck in a stable location. We will have much time to be able to get you to safety,” said Kapura.
Cera was startled by Kapura's sudden appearance behind her. “You really need to stop doing that!” exclaimed Cera, annoyed. Cera then looked at the lava that was quickly rushing past the rock she was stranded on. She then got an idea. “Takua! Throw me your lavaboard!” shouted Cera.
“Do not do it, Takua,” said Kapura. “I know what she is planning. It is not a good plan.”
Takua wasn't sure about who he should listen to. Cera was one of his close friends and he needed to save her, but he had to admit that she didn't always come up with a smart plan. On the other hand, Kapura was one of the wisest Matoran in Ta-Koro, according to Turaga Vakama, but Takua was so sure if that was true or not. Finally, he decided to toss the lavaboard to Cera. Cera then grabbed the lavaboard with her mouth and took a few steps back from the lava.
“You are making a big mistake,” said Kapura. “Do not try it.”
Cera then let go of the lavaboard and said, “Please, you Ta-Matoran make it look so easy. How hard can it be?” She picked up the lavaboard, then ran towards the lava and jumped. She grabbed the lavaboard with her four feet and held it underneath her as she landed on the lava. At first, everything seemed to be going great, but then things went terribly wrong. She then found herself being carried away by the lava, and worse, she didn't know how to control the lavaboard.
“Don't worry, I'll save her,” said Takua as he reached into his backpack to get his lavaboard, but quickly remembered that it was his lavaboard that Cera was using.
Jala sighed in frustration. He then quickly took a lavaboard out of his backpack and jumped onto the rapidly-moving lava. He wasn't as skilled as Takua at lava surfing, but he did know enough to allow him to save Cera.
Cera continued to scream as she was carried further by the lava. Jala moved as best as he could to reach Cera as quickly as possible. He was almost right behind Cera when he noticed rapids up ahead, and just beyond that was a large rocky ledge on the other side of the lava from where he had jumped. Like Takua, he used the rapids to his advantage. The rapids launched Cera into the air, but Jala was launched even higher because of the way he hit the rapids. He was then able to grab Cera and they both landed on the rocky ledge.
By the time Cera managed to stand up, she looked up and saw Jala looking at her with an angry look on his face. “I don't blame Takua for this,” said Jala. “You should have listened to Kapura. Now do you see why he was right?”
“I didn't see anybody else coming up with any plans,” replied Cera, starting to get a little angry as well.
“Kapura said that rock was stuck in a stable place. You should have waited for one of us to come up with a better plan.” Jala then looked at the lavaboard he had just used. He was borrowing this one, so he was quite frustrated when he noticed that it was now broken almost in half. “Great, now I can't return this lavaboard.” He tossed it aside, then picked up Takua's lavaboard and put it in his backpack.
The others soon arrived to see that they were now separated from Jala and Cera. “Jala! Cera! Are you alright?” asked Littlefoot.
“Were fine,” replied Jala. He then looked back and noticed that he was actually standing in front of a cave entrance. “I have a better plan. Forget about crossing the lava. Cera and I will head down this cave and, hopefully, we'll meet up with the rest of you somewhere.”
“I think that's a good idea, Jala,” said Takua. “After all, I think we're all tired of dealing with this lava flow, right?” Everyone quickly agreed with him. “Alright, we'll head further along this lava flow and try to find another cave entrance.”
The group then continued to walk along the edge of the lava flow. Cera was reluctant at first, but quickly realized she didn't have a choice, so she followed Jala into the cave. It had been a rough day already, but things were about to get worse.

Malte is correct, your turn.
I find it rather amusing to think that the assassin had two pistols, yet both of them failed to fire.

For those of you who don't know much about the Bionicle storyline, I recommend watching these two videos:
BIONICLE Retrospective
This is a brief summary of the storyline from the beginning back in 2001 to the start of 2008.
The Final Battle Animation
This one is less brief and describes some of the events in the second half of 2008.
If there are any parts you don't understand, either do some research or feel free to ask me (I'll probably give you answers that make sense).

I'm not sure if this one has been asked already, but I'll ask it anyway.
Which president survived the first assassination attempt, and how did he survive it?

I think he meant 'above $100', not 'at $100 or higher'. If this is true, my answer is the $10,000 bill, which features Salmon P. Chase (I don't know who he is). I looked up the answer in a book I have lying around the house.
