Well, I don't have much to say at the moment, so I'll post an expert from a story I began but never finished, and see if its worth finishing or not....

Reign of Darkness

Prologue

“Rise of Shadow.”

Lewa, Kopaka, and Pohatu Nuva, along with Toa Ignika and their Matoran companions sped toward the swamp of Karda Nui at high speed. Below the sounds of an intense battle could be heard. Behind them Makuta Mutran followed, moving slowly, wings gliding through the misty air almost majestically. At the moment Mutran was going intentionally going slow. Which is why he smiled under his mask when Lewa turned his head and shouted,

 

“I think we’re losing him!” to his comrades. Mutran folded his wings in, causing him to fall faster without anything out to control the plunge. A quick shift in gravity and he was speeding downward even faster. He slammed into Lewa and Tanma and dragged them into the freefall. They tried to get free, but with Mutran’s altered weight his was nearly impossible to shake off. Soon the three were far ahead of the other Toa. Mutran shut of his power of gravity angle them diagonally toward a nearby stalactite. Mutran placed his clawed feet on Lewa’s chest and pushed off, shifting the immense pull of gravity to Lewa and Tanma.

 

The force of the push launched Mutran up a few feet, and when he reached the height of the jump, he spread out his wings, keeping him aloft. Lewa, on the other hand was heading toward the stalactite rapidly at a sharp 20-degree angle. Lewa tried to stop them by activating his jets full force and sending a large gust of wind their way, but the gravitational pull was so strong, that even with the help of Tanma’s jet pack, they remained on course.

 

They slammed into the stalactite full force, causing an extreme amount of agony for Lewa, who took most of the blow, and tore a few rocks loose. They began falling at a 90-degree angle again, on a crash course with a outcropping of rock further down. Mutran turned around to see Kopaka and Solek attempting to save Lewa and Tanma, and Pohatu and Photok heading over to fight him. Mutran hovered there, unmoving as Pohatu and Photok sped toward him. He drained some shadow from the surrounding area, incase it would be needed later. The second Pohatu fired a ball of light from his Midak Skyblaster Mutran had teleported out.

 

He reappeared in front of Kopaka and Solek. Seeing them trying to save Lewa and Tanma with a rope of light and a chain of ice, he fired a quick burst of shadow. The darkness hit the light head on, consuming it whole. A fragment of his shattering power and the chain of ice was destroyed. But since Mutran had activated other powers, the artificial pull of gravity on Lewa and Tanma was lifted. Lewa activated his jet packs and went soaring upward toward Mutran and Kopaka.

 

Kopaka was the first to strike. He carefully aimed his Midak and fired a few shots of ice at Mutran. Mutran shifted the angle of wings, flying out of the way of the ice. He responded with a few bolts of lighting. Kopaka barreled rolled, much to Solek’s initial displeasure, narrowly dodging the streaks of lighting.

Solek created an expanding panel of light and launched it at Mutran. The Makuta flew up beyond the panel, bringing his fist down, destroying the wall of light and sending a narrow wave of shadow at Kopaka and Solek. Solek created another panel of light and blocked the shadow above their heads, causing the rest to come out in front and behind them. Kopaka retaliated with a rapid-fire burst of light from his Midak. Mutran soared sideways on wings, circling around Kopaka, firing large beams of shadow from his claws, and making it hard for Kopaka or Solek to get a good aim on him.

 

At this point Lewa had reached the scene of the fight and had activated a whirlwind, slamming it into Mutran, throwing him toward a stalactite. He hit it hard and fell onto a narrow ledge. He stood up to see Pohatu flying toward him. The Toa Nuva of Stone was about to trap Mutran in the rock when the Makuta teleported behind Pohatu, and magnetized the three Toa together and sent them foward toward the ledge where he was occupying a second ago.

 

Toa Ignika soared in on his Skyboard, swinging his sword at Mutran’s neck. He ducked the would be fatal blow and responded with a jab with his own blade. Toa Ignika pulled back and punched Mutran, sending him reeling. Mutran activated his power scream, forcing Toa Ignika back, but freeing the other Toa Nuva. They quickly activated their adaptive amour, and along with Toa Ignika, began soaring back toward the swamp. Mutran followed, continuing the chase.
