[The Host]

"What have you brought me?" asked the warrior clad in orange and yellow armour. The Kavinika looked up at his master and pulled the near-frozen warrior into view. Haze shuddered as he returned to the cold consiousness on Ko Nui. "I see you have awoken, stranger. Do not try to attack me or I'll-"
Haze dissapeared from view. When he reappeared he stood infront of a large machine that had appeared from nowhere. The orange warrior stepped back in preperation for an attack, but one did not come. The Kavinika stared in awe at the machine, and as the orange warrior looked where his servant looked, he noticed that Haze was attached to the strange machine.


Chapter Two: Landing

Vaho was the first to feel the cold of Ko Nui. Plasmatic had fire within him to keeo warm, and Kiteco was a toa of ice, and the cold was not a problem for him. Vaho flexed his hands and arms to keep them warm, but it didn't help much.
"Set out and search for a place to set up a temporary base. Somewhere out of the cold," came yet another command from Plasmatic. Kiteco grumbled but walked off and Vaho took to the air to do an aerial search.
Plasmatic took off on foot, his lance held out in defence against anyone, or thing, that might attack him. The wind swept across the open terrain of Ko Nui and Plasmatic shuddered. Evap Nui was much more bearable than this, he thought angrily.

In less than an hour Kiteco returned with news that he had spotted a few caves in which they could shelter themselves from the cold. Vaho was glad to hear this, not only to get out of the cold, but to enter inside the rocks, when hopefully he would feel more in his element. For the first time in a while he remembered his mask and put it to use. A kanohi in the shape of a noble Kiril, his mask was the Kanohi Orida, mask of climate. It required great concentration to use, but when his power was focused into it the mask was able to elevate the weather and summon small storms to his aid. Vaho focused a small amount of power into his mask and the temperature around him rose slightly.
Kiteco led the way to the cave, followed by Plasmatic. Vaho trailed further back, already planning a way to defeat Haze. The toa of shadows and iron didn't want to stay in the world of ice any longer than he had to.

Haze watched as the orange warrior and the small animal examined him and his machine. In his current state, statis in recovery, Haze could not move or defend himself. But it was also in this state that he could recover at an alarming rate, and his body was protected from small attacks.
Haze's wings shook slightly and his body began to tingle. The recovery was over. Before the orange warrior knew what was going on Haze was on his feet delivering powerful punches and swift kicks. The orange warrior fell quickly, and it was at this time that the Kavinika fled.
"I did only need one slave," said Haze, darkly. He looked at the warrior on the ground, squished like an insect. "You will be called Bug from now on. That is what you are to me. a bug."

"This cave will suffice for now. Later on, when we locate Haze, we will need to move." Said Plasmatic. It was obvious, but the deranged toa stated it anyways. "We must kill Haze!"
"Calm yourself down!" Shouted Kiteco, before his arm went crazy and Wrath attacked Plasmatic.
"We don't need him as leader. He can fight but he's useless as a strategic planner. Put me in charge now or-"
All three of them went stiff as their metal parts stuck fast. Vaho looked at them with a look of satisfaction. "We wait here until the morning. Then we follow Plasmatic in search of Haze. We kill Haze and get out of here. We don't need an army, because Haze has only had a few hours more than us on this planet. Not enough to create an army."
And although Vaho's words were true, what Haze had created was much more powerful than an army, no matter what the size.
