Fallen Retrieval

Fallen Retrieval: The Prologue Umbra stood guard inside the hidden cave which was at the edge of the forsaken Dunes of Treason and Tesara, in the vast desert called Bara Magna, on the planet of Spherus Magna. He was doing his usual task of guarding the Kanohi Ignika, which held the spirit of the great Mata Nui. His only accompaniments were the mask of life and Protodax. Neither made much conversation, or any at all. Not that he needed someone to talk to. Umbra looked ahead and thought he saw the shadow of someone, or something. "Retreat or perish! For I am Umbra, servant of Mata Nui and murderer of those who are unworthy, you shall not pass!" he said, almost hesitantly. It was the first time he ever felt unsure of himself. The shadow did not move. Umbra blinked. When his eyes opened, what felt like less than a millisecond later, the shadow was gone. He whirled around to see if the intruder had somehow gotten past him. There was no sign of intrusion. Umbra sped down to the chamber where the Kanohi Ignika was held, at the speed of light, the only speed that could get past the various traps and Protodax without harm. He looked and saw that the mask of life was still there, in all its glory, untouched. Maybe the shadow was only his illusion, after so many long days and nights guarding the mask. Umbra turned to go back to his post, and that's when it hit him. His vision blurred and he felt intense pain in his back. He was left sprawled on the chamber floor unconscious and left for dead.

Chapter 1- The Assimilation of Followers

Kronoh was having a tough time adjusting to his new life on Spherus Magna. He was used to switching homes, but this was too much for him. He was in the jungle village of Tesara, with his old-time Ta-Matoran friend, Twan. They came here to befriend some of the local Agori and mremove any harsh feelings that they had towards the Matoran. So far it hadn't been easy, most of the villagers shot the duo dirty looks and walked away.

Kronoh looked around and saw a green, black, and orange Agori with two huge blades in his hands. Attached to one blade was a thornax launcher. The Jungle Agori was leaning next to a huge green and black tank like vehicle equipped in the front with two saws and in the back with a tri-thornax cannon. He was talking to two other agori, one of them was all white, no doubt from the Ice Tribe. The other was black and blue, he was next to some kind of motorcycle.

The Onu-Matoran and his partner approached the three.

"Hello, my name is Kronoh, I couldn't help but to say that that is one awesome vehicle." He said pointing at the Jungle Tribe Tank.

"Well thanks, I built it scavenging for parts in the desert." the tri-colored agori said. "By the way I'm Scandus, this is my friend Jetus" He continued as he pointed at the white agori. Then he nodded at the blue one. "and this is Kirbaz, we're both pilots in the arena." "Thats pretty cool, I'm an inventor, and this is my friend Twan, he's the best lava surfer around." Kronoh replied."Yo" Twan said trying to act cool but it wasn't working out. Kirbaz saw how awkward this was and hopped in his Kaxium V3.

"Well I'll catch up with you guys later." he said and sped off ."Hey look at those two goons over there!" Jetus said.

"Man I bet even Gresh or Vastus couldn't take them down." Scand commented."Yeah but if Certavus was still around he could take them." Jetus replied.

"Certavus was good in the arena but that's not the same as a fight to the death." Scand pointed out."But you didn't see him in the Core War." Jetus shot back. "What do you guys think." Kronoh looked at the two "goons". One of them was clad in gleaming silver armor with touches of orange. He was an orange Kakama and wielded a midak skyblaster with a sword and shield. The other was black silver, and light blue. He had large claws and held what appeared to be a mix between a spear and an axe. He had two masks, the one he wore was a Kanohi Iryna, the other was a red and black Kiril which was attached to his back."I know a few guys who could probably defeat them." Kronoh answered. Twan coughed "Takanuva!"

Two toa joined the goons, they both had green masks. One was a mix of black, gunmetal and light gray. The other was silver and green. He wore a Kanohi Kualsi, the gunmetal one wore a Kanohi Zatth.

"So what do you want from me this time?" the gunmetal toa asked. The silver and orange being paused and said "Its not safe here, come with us."They walked onward, unaware of the four villagers following them. They followed the titans and toa to a cave near the desert. It was difficult to hide when the light blue warrior looked back, but they managed to do it.When they reached the cave they heard one of the beings say: "This is Umbra, guardian of the mask of life, we found him like this, in a coma. His partner Protodax is dead, its brain was fried. The mask is missing and we need you to get it for us."The Agori and Matoran looked at each other in shock.Jetus was the first to speak "we need to get that mask before it falls into the wrong hands." The villagers ran as fast as possible. Behind them two sets of glowing red eyes watched with grim intentions...

Great story so far! :) However, I noticed that you posted your first chapter as a different topic. In Epics, all the chapters of a story go in one topic, just hit the "Reply to this topic" button at the top right and go from there. I merged your two topics together for you.Also, I saw that you don't have a review topic linked into here. Every epic posted in this forum needs a separate topic, for other members' reviews. This is so your story won't be cluttered by comments. Once you've made a review topic, please put a link to it in this topic. PM me when you're done, and this post will be deleted. You can also PM me if you need help or have any questions. Thank you!
