The Summer Story


Trijhak

The defeated LoSS splats on the pavement of the Ancient City like a bug, disturbing one particular dead thing. Which conveniently happens to be SKULL GRINDER, THE GRINDER OF MASKS AND FLASKS.

 

The Toa, all six of them, enter the Ancient City, in search of Ekimu's lifeless body. They heard it has treasure and want it for themselves because Ekimu's worth a lot. However, Skull Grinder's arm bursts through the ground behind them, surprising the six Toa. Then Skull Grinder jumps out evilly, making sure to be as evil as possible while jumping so evilly. The Toa, being self-proclaimed and protector-proclaimed Heroes, rush towards Skull Grinder with the exception of Tahu and Gali, who are more pre-occupied with a transparent orange hau and a blue skull spider that magically appeared , with the message 'Hero pack: For when heroes are in danger'. Skull Grinder, being a skeleton, takes advantage of Tahu and Gali's distraction to take on the four Toa rushing at it instead of the six Toa it was expecting. It unleashes the evillest, scariest, evillest, vilest, worst possible most frightening beams from its staff-thing, which hits Kopaka, Lewa, Pohatu, and Onua, in that order. Those four then stop in their tracks, struck by skeletal fear... skeletal fear so strong their skeletons jump out of their armour and become the Skull Warrior, Skull Slicer, Skull Scorpio and Skull Basher, respectively. Their brains do not come with them but rather remain in the armour of the skeletonless Toa, this is why the skeletons are evil. Because they're magic. At this moment Tahu and Gali turn around three hundred and sixty degrees to see the new skeletons, and Tahu uses his transparent orange Hau, which is surprisingly not a mask of Fire! Instead, it is a Mask of Awakening! In the distance, where Ekimu is buried, the lid of his coffin/sarcophagus/burial/urn/whatever flies off to reveal not Mask of Light, nor Legends of Metru-Nui, nor Web of Shadows but The Legend Reborn: EKIMU, PROTECTOR OF CREATION! He has come to claim his Mask of Creation, because he has been awakened from his lifeless sleep. He is a zombie and focused only on the Mask of Creation. When he gets it, he will sleep again, because he is not a magical problems solver or a plot device. This also means Tahu and Gali must search for non-magical skeletons in the catacombs of the Ancient City in 2016 so that Kopaka, Lewa, Onua, and Pohatu can be not useless and stuck in the place of their armour and brains again. Except, of course, the catacombs were known in their time as the the Cataclownbs for a reason...
