Chapter 1: The Short Party

      I am Onua, Toa of Earth, I am about to tell the tale of the everlasting waves of the Bohrok. Mata Nui was almost completely destroyed. No place on the island was spared the Bohrok's presence, they attacked in very large numbers, destroying everything in it's path. They reduced mountains into smoldering ruins, and tore down villages to rubble. The Bohrok were so terrifying, that if you dared utter it's word in front of anyone else, you could kill them in fear. The Bohrok seemed endless, how can we toa stand up to these threats?
      "Go forth, our minions," said two mysterious voices somewhere far away.
      It all started as we toa were celebrating over the suva of Kini-nui. We were so happy, the dark Makuta and his evil rahi were destroyed, thanks to us.
     "Ahhh, at last I can finally enjoy the views on Mata nui," Lewa sighed.
     "Do not let your paradise thoughts cloud your judgement, Lewa, for there could be more events in the future," Gali replied.
     "How are you so sure, Gali?" Tahu asked.
     "The waters, they seem to be warning us of a danger on Mata Nui, I can feel it," Gali said.
      Suddenly there came a rumbling throughout Mata Nui.
      "Well I felt that," Tahu said.
      The toa and I saw smoke smoldering from somewhere on the island.
      "It's coming from Ta-koro!" Tahu warned as he viewed Ta-koro using his akaku.
      "Let's hurry over there!" Pohatu warned.
      All of us switched to our Kakama's and sped over to Ta-koro, when we had gotten there, Ta-koro was under attack by strange creatures. Many of the villagers masks were different, that was definitely the work of the creatures.
      "What on Mata Nui?" Tahu asked.
                           End of Chapter 1

(at first, the toa had no idea what the heck the bohrok were, that why I used 'The creatures')

Chapter 2: Ta-koro under attack

       Ta-koro was destroyed, all the buildings and houses were destroyed, thanks to the Tahnok. The Ta-koron guard didn't stand a chance up against them. Most villagers were krana'd
      "What are those things?!" Lewa asked.
      "I do not know, toa of air," Tahu replied.
       It was strange watching the Tahnok slowly destroying Ta-koro, it was only what they were focusing on. We all attacked immediately. Tahu was swiping his fire sword at a nearby Tahnok, the Tahnok growled and headbutted Tahu away.
     "UUNNGGHH!" moaned the sprawled Tahu.
     "Tahu!" yelled Kopaka.
     Three Tahnok shot many blasts of fire at Kopaka. Kopaka was shielded himself while slowly walking backwards, because of the extreme pressure.
     "Let's see how you handle ice!" Kopaka shot an ice beam blast at them. The Tahnok were frozen solid, but because of the Tahnok's hot temperature, the ice slowly melted away. One of the Tahnok got very angry and knocked Kopaka's mask off.
     "My mask!" Kopaka yelled.
     "Watch out!" I yelled.
     I tackled Kopaka just before a krana hit him.
     "Here is you mask, Kopaka," I said handing him is golden akaku.
     "I do not need your help, Onua," Kopaka grumbled.
     I saw that Lewa, Gali, and Pohatu were not doing too well against the Bohrok either. I knew it was time to command the landscape to help us out.
     "Earth, hear me out, it is I, the Toa of Earth speaking, get rid of the Bohrok for us, before they destroy us!" I said aloud.
     Almost immediately, the ground began shifting under the Bohrok's feet, giant lumps came out of the ground, and punched the Bohrok away. The Tahnok screeched in fear and ran away.
     "Good job, Toa of Earth," Vakama said.
     "Good, Vakama, thank the great beings, you're still okay," Tahu said.
      "There is much to be told, toa of Fire," Vakama said, "Those creatures are known as the Bohrok, once only known as legends, although it has come true,"
     "We must know more, Vakama," Tahu ordered.
     "It is said the Bohrok were sleeping for an eternity waiting to hatch. They are so powerful, and yet so many, that Mata Nui might not stand a chance, each bohrok carries a krana inside it's head which gives them their power and rank amongst the swarm. But without a krana, the Bohrok are immobilized. You have encountered the Tahnok, the clan of fire, which are quick to anger. There is also the Cold Kohrak and their ice blasts, The mysterious Nuhvok, The powerful Pahrak, the clever Gahlok, and the most deadly of all, the Lehvak, whose acid can melt solid rock. There is also the Bohrok va, agents and scouts of the swarm, they carry krana into krana-less Bohrok. In order to finding the defeat of the Bohrok, you must collect all eight breeds of krana,"
      "How is it you know so much, Turaga Vakama?" Tahu asked.
      "There will be time to explain more, Toa of fire," Vakama said.
      "Come, toa! We must return to our villages, the Bohrok may be in attack as we speak, then collect the so called krana!" Tahu said.
                          End of chapter 2

Chapter 3: Le-koro lost
       The Le-koron were all happy as they swung on the vines, chittering and screeching. But Turaga Matatu was aware of the Bohrok.
       "Does something trouble you, Turaga Matatu?" Kongu asked while he was walking over.
       "Yes Kongu, the winds of the south warn me of a great threat approaching," Matatu explained.
       "Fear not, Turaga, if there's any danger, the Kahu force and Lewa can handle it," Kongu replied.
       Matatu looked up at the sun, the sun shined his eyes, this meant Matatu was listening for something.
       "They approach," Matatu said begining to breathe faster.
       "What is coming?" asked Kongu.
       There came a rumbling. Trees began to get knocked down by something. Loud "CHKT CHKT!" noises were heard.
       "THE BOHROK!!" Shouted Matatu as A large group of Lehvak erupted through the trees.
       "Run Kongu, head for the Kahu!" Matatu shoved Kongu along.
       "But what about you, Turaga?" Kongu yelled at him as he ran.
       "I'll be safe!" he yelled back.
       As Kongu ran more and more desperately, he got out a flute and played a battle song. Le-koron popped out of the trees, got down and immediately began to follow Kongu. The Lehvak had already Krana'd many, the other Le-koron got on the Kahu, they didn't wait to be signaled to take off, so they  flew off towards the Lehvak.
     "FIRE!" shouted Kongu.
     They fired discs at the Lehvak, most of them weren't effected, but few were. The Lehvak answered by shooting streams of acid at the Kahu. Many Kahu were hit, and the Kahu that were hit dissolved with the acid, and the pilots were dissolved along with them.
       "Kongu, they'll kill us all at this rate!" shouted one pilot.
       "We fight to the death!" Kongu answered.
       A Lehvak shot down Kongu's Kahu, the Kahu spun out of control and fell towards the ground. Kongu immediately jumped out in time and grabbed a vine and swung from it. He landed near some Lehvak.
      "I won't stop fighting until Mata Nui is free you green curs!" Kongu yelled holding a disc.  
      A Lehvak immediately struck out at Kongu, Kongu took evasive action and did a back-flip.
      "It will take more than that to destroy me!" Kongu challenged.
      Kongu threw his disc at a Lehvak, it was a direct hit into the eyes, the krana popped out. Kongu laughed in triumph, but soon, he was surrounded and outnumbered.
      Then in an instant he was knocked back into a tree, Kongu moaned with pain. The Lehvak and the krana'd villagers slowly walked up to him.
      "I have failed, please forgive me Turaga Matatu," Kongu thought.
       All Kongu remembered was staring deeply into the oranges eyes of the Lehvak, then as the Lehvak struck, darkness.
       Matatu saw everything from his hidden cabin.
      "You will always be remembered, brave Kongu," Matatu whispered aloud.
      A Lehvak overheard it and slowly climbed up to the cabin. Matatu grabbed koho berries from a tree and tossed them at the Lehvak climbing the tree. It blew up in their faces.
      "Back you monstrosities!" Matatu yelled.
      A Lehvak squirt acid at him. Matatu instantly ducked. Instead the shot hit the door. Matatu stood back holding up his staff ready to fight. Two Lehvak entered, Matatu swung his staff at one of them, the Lehvak growled. Soon Matatu was outnumbered five to one.
      "Help us Lewa," were the last words that came out of Matatu before his mask was knocked off then he was krana'd.
      Lewa was walking at the entrance of Le-koro surveying the ruined village, unaware what was to happen to him.
                     End of chapter 3

Chapter 4: Discovery
 
     I returned to Onu-koro. I saw it was dark inside the entrance. The villagers noticed me, Whenua stepped forth.
     "What's happened?" I asked him.
     "Toa of Earth, you have come in a terrible time indeed, a Gahlok squad flooded Onu-Koro, Onepu and Taipu are still inside," Whenua explained.
     "I'll check it out," I said to him.
     As I walked inside, the villagers cheered and cheered. I  slowly walked inside, my night vision instantly kicked in.
     It semed to take forever to get to the other side. I noticed a very large boulder outside the end of the tunnel as though it blocked the entrance. I saw a giant walking machine fighting off some Gahlok. Soon after, he knocked the krana out of both the Gahlok. Onepu and Taipu were there too.
    "What is that thing?!" I asked.
    Startled, they turned around, then they sighed in relief.
    "Hail, Toa of Earth, we did not see you there, that is the invention of the engineer, Nuparu. It should greatly help us indeed in the battle against the Bohrok," Onepu said pointing out the Boxor.
     "It is called the 'Boxor', I think it's cracker-jack! If I do say so myself," Nuparu said.
     "Interesting," I said.
     "You can use the fallen krana here to help your search for the eight breeds, Toa of Earth," Onepu said.
     "Many thanks, Onepu," I said.
     I walked over to the krana, it was a krana Vu and a krana Bo.
     "Nuparu, you must make more of these 'Boxors', to aid the Tohunga in the battle against the Bohrok," I said, "Also, spread the word of the 'Boxors' and show the other villages how to make these, we must make them in full production in order to carry out my plan for destroying a Bohrok nest,"
     "I will do everything in my power to do so, Toa of Earth," Nuparu replied.
     Then, somewhere in Le-koro, Lewa stepped forward leading a squad of Bohrok, while wearing a krana Xa.
                         End of chapter 4

Chapter 5: The Preparation
     
      In the recent week, Nuparu has succeded in showing all the different villages(besides Le-koro) how to create a boxor. All of the different village's populace constructed the massive vehicles, and in that week's time, we have created thousands. The area of attack was to destroy a large settlement of the different kinds of Bohrok in Le-koro, they seemed to be either guarding a nest, home to their queen, or preparing a large attack to destroy all the villages, either way they must all be destroyed. Our battle strategy was to hide far from the Bohrok, while the toa and I did an initial attack, luring out Bohrok to de-krana. Then we will use the entire army to fight off the rest of the Bohrok. Every Tohunga piloting a Boxor had special training for this day, we will succeed!
      Thousands of Boxor vehicles along with the pilots were in Ta-wahi, waiting for Tahu to make his speech to everyone. Tahu stepped up onto a stand.
     "Fellow Tohunga, I know you have all heard of the Bohrok threat, they have destroyed our homes, consumed our loved ones, and have destroyed the envirment. You have all suffered a great deal of worry, well it's now time to make the Bohrok worry, fellow Tohunga. Mata Nui has created this island, let us live in peace, and let us bask in his glory, and now the Bohrok have come, causing destruction and plague everywhere we step, well now it's time to make a stand, claim back what is rightfully ours, you have all received your orders, go out there and fight, FIGHT for Mata Nui. If you are to die, you will be rembered, you will have not died in vain, because you fought for what is right, and what's right is to be rid of the Bohrok and free Mata Nui!"
       Every Tohunga in their boxors were so touched by Tahu's speech, in a result they all cheered. Pohatu wiped a tear from his eye.
      "That was beautiful!" cried one pilot.
      "Alpha formation everyone!" Tahu ordered.
      "Yes-sir!" Replied the thousands of Tohunga.
      The Bohrok's defeat was today.
                   End of chapter 5

Chapter 6: The Battle

      The entire mass of Boxor vehicles were organized and ready for battle. There were two masses, the Bohrok, and the Boxors. The toa and I stood in the middle of the two staring at the break of dawn. Tahu turned to Gali and I.
      "Begin the initial attack, you two," Tahu said.
      I raised my hand, and it began to twitch as though I were holding a heavy invisible object. I clenched my claws into a fist, then the ground shook. A crack fromed beneath the Bohrok's feet, very few Bohrok fell in. Then Gali came next, she swung her talons facing the Bohrok. Seconds later a tidal wave consumed the Bohrok in a whirlpool into the crack, a lot of Bohrok were sucked in, but many still remained. Lewa wearing his Krana Xa was seen.
      "Attack the Toa and the islanders my swarm!" Lewa barked.
      Tahu raised his firesword and shot a blast of flame into the air above him, this was the signal for the Boxor pilots to attack. The Boxors charged immedialtely into battle, catching the Bohrok off guard, the first advantage was ours.
      As everyone fought for control over the island, unlucky Boxor pilots were destroyed by the Bohrok's elemental powers and unlucky Bohrok's krana were knocked out.
     I, myself was at the frontline, fighting off a squad of Pahrak. They surrounded me all of a sudden, one attacked by jumping at me, I ducked then did a leg sweep and it hit a Kohrak. Two Pahrak struck out at me with their heads, I blocked both with my claws, then smashed both of them into each other. Then almost immediately, a Tahnok struck at me, luckily I jumped, then did a bicycle kick, and sent it going backwards. A Nuhvok struck me and made me hit into a Gahlok, Pohatu stepped into and kicked it straight to the eyes knocking it's krana out.
     "You appear to be doing well," Pohatu complimented.
     "Less talk, more fighting," I answered uppercutting the Gahlok.
     The battle raged on for hours, it was impossible to tell if either side was winning. Piles of krana-less Bohrok and destroyed boxers were forming in the battle field.
     But then later on only about a hundred Bohrok remained. Lewa stepped forth to oppose me.
    "You cannot win, Onua, the Bohrok swarm is invincible!" Lewa side as he swung his axe at me.
    I ducked in time and grabbed his axe and tossed Lewa away.
    "Likewise, I'm sure," I replied.
    "I will not be so easily beaten!" Lewa angrily said.
    Lewa got up and charged at me hitting me in the stomach with the point of his axe. I got send a few feet from Lewa, then I lost my breath and sat down.
    "Surrender to me, Onua, you have no way to stop me," Lewa said getting ever more angry.
    "I will never surrender to Bohrok scum," I said calmly.
    I instantly thrusted my claws into his face and pulled off his mask, Lewa returned to his normal self.
    "Onua, what th--what happened here!?" Lewa asked surveying the battle field.
     "Relax Lewa, you have been krana'd by this little menace, we also had a battle here with those Boxors," I exclaimed.
     I crushed the Xa in my fist into dust.
     Right then, the remaining Bohrok retreated, and the Boxor pilots got out and cheered.
     "We must travel to that nest and end the Bohrok threat," I pointed to the cave.
                             End of Chapter 6

I finally have some time to type my long chapter seven!

     Final Chapter: The Bahrag Twins and the Protodermis

      The Toa and I stood victorious over the ruined battlefield as the setting sun shined on us. Smoke steamed out of defeated Bohrok and Boxors. Remaining Boxor pilots helped out the wounded and the injured. We also received word the Boxor pilots sent to Le-koro defeated the Lehvak and de-krana'd the villagers. Some Boxors were sent to flush out remaining Bohrok and eliminate them.
      "Though much has destroyed, and Mata Nui has suffered much, unfortunately, it was all necessary in the end..," Tahu said.
      I stared over the Boxors and noticed six tohunga walking towards us, it was the Turaga of the six villages.
      "Turaga Vakama, you come to us in a very bad time indeed, we have suffered many casualties-" Tahu was interrupted by Vakama.
     "A thousand apologies, Toa of fire, but now you must do as the prophecies in legend say and collect the eight different breeds of krana on this ruined ground and use them to unlock the instrument to the Bohrok's defeat, as you proceed into the nest, the Turaga and I will pray for your safe return, and may Mata Nui guide you all, good luck," Vakama said.
      The toa and I waved our goodbyes, knowing it may be our last and set foot into the cave. When all the toa and I entered, the entrance closed.
      "Pay no attention, as worrying may be their plan to us," warned Tahu.
      "We should not have entered this place, tahu," Lewa warned.
      "Why is it you speak so scaredly, Lewa?" Pohatu asked.
      "When I was still infected by the krana, I randomly heard the swarm whisper about this place and how it was home to the Bahrag, their king and queen, I suppose," Lewa said trying to remeber.
      "But why were you worried?" Kopaka asked.
      "Because the swarm said they command all the Bohrok and their elements," Lewa said.
      "Anything else?" Gali asked.
      "Well, I did overheard someone mention something about armor and it was more than armor, but it gave you special abilities and inhanced attributes," Lewa said.
      "Then that's it, if we obtain this so called 'armor', that will be the instrument of defeat for the Bahrag, and there shall be no reason to worry," I said to Lewa.
      "Onua is right, Lewa, nothing has ever stopped the toa before," Tahu mentioned.
      "But you don't understand-" Lewa said interrupted by Tahu.
      "I do understand, Lewa, now focus on our mission," Tahu said simply.
      At long last we entered a circualr looking room. Carvings or some sort were on the ground. I saw they matched the faces of our collected krana. And six gigantic closed doors stood infront of us.
     "Place the krana within these niches and hope for the best," ordered Tahu.
     We all obeyed Tahu's command and began to place in the krana. When the last krana was placed, the ground shook as the large doors opened.
     "There is six doorways," Kopaka said marveling at the size.
     "One for each of us," Pohatu said.
     "Toa! Enter the chambers and we'll meet on the other side, now go!" Tahu warned.
     We all entered the individual doors and stared into the darkness. On my part of the six doorways, a light shone on something that looke a little like a Boxor, but far from it, it was giant armor known as exo-armor. It was built as though a toa could enter it, then pilot it. I got inside, then felt the machine come to life, it obeyed my movements. It had a claw and the other arm looked like it could shoot something.
     "Where evil brews, I'll be there, where villages are attacked, I'll be there, when the end of the Bohrok is somewhere, I'LL BE THERE!!" I shouted along the corridors of the chamber.
    I came out the other side where the other toa were waiting.
    "Good, we're all here, let's proceed," Tahu said.
    We walked and walked until a voice filled our minds.
    "You trespass on sacred ground, leave NOW!" spoke a mysterious voice.
    "You do not frighten us! Reveal yourself, cowards!" Tahu barked.
    Two giant dark figures appeared, it was the Bahrag. Tahu strode towards the Bahrag, then Cahdok headbutted Tahu.
    "You dared attack those who stood side by side with Mata Nui, we will cleanse Mata Nui as it should've been long ago, beginning with you!" The Bahrag both said at the same time.
    "I know not the idea of your 'cleansing', but you and the Bohrok have destroyed half of Mata Nui, and now you're going to pay for it!" Kopaka yelled.
    "You are brave, and foolish to talk back to the Bahrag twins," The Bahrag said.
     Kopaka shot a blast at Gahdok, it was a direct hit, Gahdok screeched.
      "Keep on attacking them!" Kopaka yelled.
      We all kept firing at them, causing them to go into a chamber. But when the Bahrag twins were close together, the blasts didn't effect them. They laughed at our futile attempts.
     "Imbeciles! By bringing us close, our power increases! Now you and Mata Nui will be cleansed!" The Bahrag laughed.
     Cahdok shot extremely hot heatwaves at Kopaka, Kopaka was hit until he passed out.
    "Kopaka!" yelled Pohatu.
    Gahdok shot a wave of water at Pohatu. Pohatu immediately began to run, but he was overtaken, and he began to drown.
    "Can't-ackk--BREATHE-*cough*!" choked Pohatu.
    Cahdok shot an ice beam at Gali and froze her solid.
    Lewa charged at the Bahrag, the Bahrag shot large boulders at Lewa, knocking him out.
    "Pohatu, Gali, Lewa!" I called out.
    "Now for you..," the Bahrag said.
    The Bahrag made a very bright light, it damaged my fragile eyes beyond it's control.
    "AAARRRGGHHH!" I yelled.
    The Bahrag laughed at me. Then Tahu stepped up, and spoke.
    "Toa! Shed your armor, it prevents our elemental attacks!" Tahu yelled.
    "But, without our armor, we won't stand a chance!" Kopaka said.
    "Desperate, yes, but anything is worth risking for Mata Nui!" Tahu replied.
    The Toa and I shed our armor, surrounded Cahdok and Gahdok, and used our elemental attacks against them.
     "You have no idea what you're up against, do you? You also have no idea what you set in motion this day!" Cahdok warned.
     Suddenly the ground shook again, The Bahrag sunk into their jail, and the toa and I sunk into a pool of protodermis.
     "The floor! It's sinking below us!" I warned.
      The toa and I sunk deeper and deeper into the pool of protodermis, transforming. The protodermis changed me, in a good way. When we were sent up, we were all diferent.
      "The Protodermis! It changed us, what happened to the Bahrag?" I asked.
      "Let us worry about this all later, right now the nest is collapsing and we must escape from here!" Tahu ordered.
      Suddenly we all sped right out of the tunnel in a split second.
     "Amazing! The Kakama could never do that before!" Pohatu said.
     "Much has been lost on Mata Nui, almost to great," Gali said.
     "But we have been gifted the power no power could beat!" I shot back.
     "Then let all who oppose Mata Nui this day quake in fear! We are the invincible TOA NUVA!" Tahu shouted.
                             The End
