Aftermath
Chapter 4 – Revelations

The Year is 2009...
The Spare Bedroom:
Maxilos sighed with relief as Irnakk shrugged and walked away, leaving Maxilos battling only Ultimate Dume. Makuta had long since retreated, and Hydraxon had been beaten down roughly.
“I’m starting to lose confidence in my ability to win this duel.” Ultimate Dume confessed.
“Good on you, mate.” Maxilos replied, clapping the huge Titan on the back. “Glad to see you’ve come to your senses.”
And with that he knocked Ultimate Dume out.
The Bedroom:
Tahu Mata duelled with Roodaka as his army clashed with hers. So far serious casualties seemed to have been avoided, minus the fact that all of the Vorox were unconscious. Lewa Mata and Tahu Mistika whirled past him in their own duel, while the newly built Strakk and Gresh were taking out Keelerak and Oohnorak like no tomorrow.
“I am the ruler of tomorrow!” Roodaka hissed, pressing her advantage while he was distracted.
“Not the ruler of today?” Tahu Mata asked innocently, parrying her blow. “Good. Guess we can come back tomorrow and try again, eh?”
Roodaka snarled in response, grabbing him and flinging him into Malum. The Glatorian glanced up and charged at the female Titan, knocking her back and off of her feet.
“Stay away from the man.” Malum growled. “He’s the man. Not you.”
“The man.” Tahu Mata echoed. “I do rather like the sound of that.”
“Well I don’t.” Tahu Mistika crowed, shoving his shield into Tahu Mata’s neck as he shoved the current leader to the ground. “I think I’m the man now.”
Tahu Mistika was knocked off of his feet by a panting Lewa Mata, and the flattened by Malum.
“I said STAY AWAY FROM THE MAN!” Malum bellowed.
“Good to see you.” Tahu Mata said.
“Good to see you too!” Lewa Mata wheezed. “Argh, stitches in my sides... so painful....”
Tahu Mata whirled around and defended from a sneak attack by Roodaka, ducking under her arm to try and stab her in the back.
“Oh, the agony....” Lewa Mata moaned.
Tahu Mata and Roodaka both clashed their weapons together several times, almost dancing with their quick battle movements.
“The suffering.... the pain.... the agony... the torture....” Lewa Mata continued.
“Oh, just die already!” Tahu Mata snapped as he was slapped in the face by Roodaka.
“Fine.” Lewa Mata grumbled. “Herk... Bleagh.”
The Toa Mata of air feigned death as he flopped to the ground, conveniently TRIPPING a limping Hydraxon to the ground. Hydraxon cursed rather loudly before standing to his feet again, only to have Malum barrel roll into him.
“AWAY! FROM! THE MAN!” Malum screamed.
“Argh.” Hydraxon responded as he crashed into the wall.
Tahu Mata ignored this, charging at Roodaka and slamming her into an empty bookshelf, stunning her. Glancing around, he could see only a few battles going on; most of them were many members of his army now ganging up on single Rahkshi or Titans.
“Looks like you lose.” He informed a now conscious Roodaka.
“No...” she hissed in disbelief. “It can’t be....”
“It can.” Tahu Mata replied, preparing himself. “I rise, you fall.”
He punched her in the face and ended the rebellion.
The Spare Bedroom:
Maxilos freed the last of the Bohrok; the Tahnok and Tahnok Va scurried out, muttering thanks. They joined the remaining Pahrak, Pahrak Va, Lehvak, Nuhvok, and Nuhvok Va that were leaving the room to apprehend the escapees.
“A job well done, if I do say so myself.” The robot said, petting Spinax. “You did good too boy.”
“Roof.”
He was surprised to see a strange Matoran then step out of the shadows in front of him, as if he’d only just appeared. Maxilos prepared for battle, though Spinax for whatever reason had failed to begin growling.
“Who are you?” he demanded. “Reveal yourself.”
The Matoran bowed slightly. “I have revealed myself. I’m not an enemy, Maxilos. Quite the opposite.”
Maxilos was still wary; something on the Matoran radiated power.
“Who are you?” he asked.
The Matoran shrugged. “I’ve been many things, and many people. That isn’t important right now. I came only to deliver a message.”
“What is it?” Maxilos queried.
“This battle- this outbreak- is not the last one.” The Matoran explained. “Within a year you will find yourselves in constant war. For a time, there will be no permanent or prolonged peace- should you survive the trials to come, you will be rewarded justly.”
Maxilos pondered that for a moment before deciding that the response was inadequate.
“What trials?”
The Matoran sighed. “A war like you’ve never known. A war that will seem to be the end of the Bionicles, but will only begin a spiral down. It will take great effort for you to overcome it.”
“Why don’t you help?” Maxilos questioned. “You are powerful.”
“Indeed I am.” The Matoran inclined his head. “However, the time is not yet right, and there are other places I must be before then. I am extremely busy.”
“Doing what?”
“I am helping to save the universe.” The Matoran informed him. “I’ll return in the year 2011, in the darkest of times. Pray that I arrive in time.”
The Matoran then turned away, beginning to melt into the shadows.
“Wait!” Maxilos exclaimed. “Tell me your name, so I’ll remember you.”
The Matoran turned back for a brief second, and said four words before vanishing from view forever.
“My name is Vertak.”
To Be Continued....
