Sorry for the wait. I meant to get it up earlier. Expect to wait longer than this time for the next one, school starts for me soon.

Chapter Two~No More Running

"Ugh. Where am I?" Solek asked himself quietly. " Photok and I touched the Toa Stone and..." He trailed off. Upon inspecting himself, he had grown. And his mask had changed. And he had new weapons.

"Toa! I'm a Toa! Photok and I-Photok! Where did he go?" Solek thought. He looked around; he couldn't see Photok in the room. "Where did he go?", He thought. "Photok! Photok! Where are you?" , He yelled. Where was Photok?

Meanwhile, Photok was having his own problems. The Nui-Jaga, seeing Photok unconcious, had attempted to drag him back to its nest, probably to eat in peace. But a trio of Rahkshi Turahk had heard the commotion, and were hunting him down. He was taking random twists and turns attempting to get away, but sooner or later he would run into a dead end...and he would end up dead.

What the Rahkshi didn't realize is that they were being followed. Eager to be a hero, not knowing the dangers of Rahkshi, Solek had follwed the Rahkshi through the Archives. Little did the two new Toa know how close they were, all they knew was the Rahkshi were a problem.

Like he predicted, Photok finally wound up in a dead end. He saw the Rahkshi preparing their Staffs of Fear, and wondered if they would terrify him and eliminate him, or paralyze him with fear, drag him back to Teridex, be interrogated, and then be finished off. Either way, his future didn't look bright.

The Rahkshi saw they had the awkward Toa cornered, and decided to enjoy this fresh meat. They hadn't had much fun lately. They began toying with Photok. One would leap forward, then stop and hop back, while the others pretended to ready their staffs. After a few minutes of scaring him though, they decided to finish the job. One Rahkshi leaped forward...

And fell flat on the ground in mid-leap. He had been hit by a ball of light from behind, which, as you may have guessed, was hurled by Solek. Solek had been experimenting with his powers before attacking. The startled Rahkshi quickly rose to his feet, however, and prepared to attack Photok again while his partners would fend off Solek. "This is it," Solek said to Photok. "We need to defeat these Rahkshi or we're done. Photok, not knowing much about his powers, simply readied his weapons and attempted to form a ball of Light.

Meanwhile...

Tanma had come to the Archives, concerned about how long his friends had been gone. Of course, in a city ruled by Darkness, no Matoran traveled alone. He had taken a friend, Radiak, to look with him. They stumbled upon a room with claws marks near the opening where a door once was. Inside was a stone that glowed brighter than anything they had ever seen before...
