I was stood outside the Jörmungandr, they were fitting the rail gun on the front on the Gun deck, behind the bridge and raised up so it could turn 360’ without hitting anything.

“There’s just one problem with it” I said, the rest of the Toa and Mata Nui looked at me “Well, two problems”

“Which are?” Minion asked.

“1. it’s a kinetic-projectile weapon, meaning it requires physical ammo” I said.

“We’ll find space” Minion said.

“Two. Every time we fire that thing, it drains the power for 30 seconds, we will be totally defenceless for that time” I said, Minion chuckled.

“You think I don’t know that?” he said “I had a bank of generators fitted underneath the gun, it’s on a completely isolated system”

“You…have this all thought out” I said.

“I may not be the science geek, but I do have common-sense, plus the internet helps” he said, shrugging, he them turned to Boris “Speaking of which, Boris, I found an Earth dialect that is similar to your dialect” we all looked at Minion in surprise.

“What?” Boris asked.

“it’s from Norse, it’s called Kenning and it’s a lot like tree speak except it’s not limited to 2 words, an example of kenning would be ‘Weather of weapons’ which means war, just thought I’d let you know, it might help to expand you vocabulary”

“For gods-sake Brother” I said, face-palming “he’s bad enough as it is”

I was in one of the workshops, at the forges, I was creating masks, so we could each have a set of six masks, just like the Toa Nuva did, there were six pots filled with molten metal, Mata Nui told me I would need to have a small piece of the original mask to give the copy its power, so I had taken a scraping of each mask, hopefully it would be enough to last for all of the batches, the only problem was the mask wouldn’t activate until the original did, still, Minions mask would be useful, I picked up the pot with metal to create Boris’s mask and poured it into a mould, which would create a stylesed version of the original mask of speed, rather than one designed to fit a griffin, I left it for about half an hour before coming back to check, it had cooled into a bright gold colour, I guess this one was mine, I removed the top piece of the mould before lifting out the mask, not bad for a first attempt, it needed a bit of cleaning up and polishing, but it was passable, I heard Minion walk in.

“What are you doing, Brother?” he asked.

“You remember how I took a scraping of your mask?” I asked, he nodded “I’m creating a set of masks for each of us, I needed a piece of your mask so the copies would have the same power, this is an adapted version of Boris’s mask of speed, for myself” I put it on and activated it, I managed to run the length of the ship is a few seconds before ending up back at the workshop, I took it off and touched both masks together, the Kakama disappeared into the Hau, I put the Hau on and thought about changing to the Kakama and the mask changed to the Kakama, I switched back to the Hau.

“Bloody hell that is cool” Minion said, I nodded before pouring some metal for Minions mask into a mould.

“Yours” I said, placing the top piece of the mould on “is going to be tricky, as I need to do the electronic lenses, I’ll probably have to speak to Vinyl about it”

“Speak to me about what?” I heard Vinyl ask, walking in.

“I’m making a set of masks for everyone on our team” I said “most Toa teams had sets of each-others masks, so I’d have six masks, you’d have six masks, Minion would have six masks, you get the gist of it, you have the most experience with electronics out of all of us, so I need you to fit the lenses to this mask when it’s done, it’s my version of Minions mask, complete with Thermal vision, night vision and a telescoping lens, I’ll also need you to do the same with everyone’s copy of this mask”

“I’ll see what I can do” she said

The Jörmungandr was preparing to leave for Stalliongrad, I was stood on the docks, Babs Seed had come to the docks to watch us leave, so I was quickly saying goodbye

“Take care of yourself, Kid” I said, giving her a hug and ruffling her mane.

“Are you going to be coming back?” she asked, pulling away from the hug.

“Eventually” I said, standing up “we’ll be heading to the Minotaur country before heading south via Appleloosa, so we’ll be coming back this way, right, I better got back on the ship, someone has to keep the crew in line” I then teleported onto the deck.

“Captain on deck” Blazewing said.

“How soon can we leave?” I asked.

“Immedia’ely” he said.

“Set a course for Stalliongrad” I said “we have a long haul flight ahead of us” he nodded before ordering various crew members, I saw them dis-connecting the ropes holding the ship in place, and the ship shifted, Frostfang pulled the ship out of the docks and we began to ascend and accelerate soon we were cruising towards Stalliongrad, we had the length of the country to fly over, so it would take about a month, which was a very long flight considering the time from it took us to walk from Trottingham to Germany was half a month, and total time from the Crystal Empire to Gryphus and finally Canterlot was a month, by the time we reach Trottingham we will have been travelling for 4 months and it will be getting into summer, I teleported into my quarters and walked onto the decking, Autumn was sat outside.

“It’ll be 1 year and 4 months since I first arrived in Equestria by the time we get Trottingham” I said, sitting down.

“You’re getting reminiscent” Autumn pointed out.

“I’m too young to be reminiscent” I said.

“I all honesty” Autumn said “I’m scared about returning to Trottingham” I placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Don’t worry” I said “if they truly love you, your family won’t care what you look like, besides, I’m more worried about our brothers meeting” we both chuckled at that.

Teridax gazed at his Viewing crystals, he was watching a female griffin, one who, if he recalled she had a history with the element of Loyalty, he opened a portal to the area and shape-shifted into a black griffin with green feather tips.

“Where are you going?” Chiratrix asked.

“To gain a valuable ally” Teridax said simply, before stepping through the portal, he was followed a few seconds later by Chiratrix, also now disguised as a blue griffin with grey feather-tips, Teridax looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

“You are more likely to gain an ally if you are with someone” Chiratrix said, Teridax rolled his eyes before walking towards Gilda, Gilda took one look at them and had to hold in her laughter.

“Dude, did you two jump in vats of dye or something?” Teridax smirked.

“Would you rather me look like this?” he asked, turning into his true form, Gilda’s beak dropped, after a few seconds he resumed his disguise.

“What the pluck are you?” she asked, taking a few steps away.

“An ally” he said “I have a proposal for you”

“What is it?” the griffeness asked.

“Are you familiar with Rainbow dash?” he asked, knowing the answer, she scoffed.

“You mean that backstabbing bitch?” she asked “yeah, I used to know her, why?”

“What if I told you I could give you the power to get revenge on her?” he said “the ‘Griffin’ you see next to me has similar goals to you, she has a vendetta against Twilight Sparkle”

“You mean that pansy-Princess?” Gilda asked, raising an eyebrow

“Yes” Teridax said “Twilight Sparkle is a friend of Rainbow Dash, there is an old saying; ‘the enemy of my enemy is my ally’, so what do you say?” he held out a talon, Gilda looked at the two of them, she hesitated before placing her talon on his and saying.

“Deal”

I was in the forge room, heavy metal music played in the background as I heated up metal to pour into one of the moulds, Vinyl Scratch walked up towards me, and she had the gold version of Minions mask in her hand.

“Here you go” she said, passing me the mask “I’ve even added a communication system”

“Think you could do that for all the masks?” I asked, putting Minions mask on the table and passing her my mask, she nodded and took the mask.

“Shure, I’ll just go find the others” she said, walking off, I then put on some wielding goggles and began pouring metal into one of the moulds.

Teridax pulled an unconscious Gilda out of the energised Protodermis pool, and motioned for some Rahkshi to take her away, her dark brown armour glistened as they dragged her into a small room, Chiratrix looked slightly pale, if that was possible.

“That looked horrifying” she said, Teridax looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

“I have seen things that makes that seem like a mercy” he said, rolling his eyes.

*One month later*

The Jörmungandr pulled into the docks at Stalliongrad, the city was very industrial, full of uniform looking tower blocks, with several factories and metal works dotted around the outskirts, and the sky was constantly cloudy, curtesy of the pollution from all of the industrial facilities, and the fact that it was in a valley which blocked any wind, you could actually smell the pollution in the air, it smelt like a mix between coal-dust and sulphur, something which was quick to affect Minions sporadic asthma problem, he walked onto the bridge spluttering.

“Bloody…hell…the…air…is…terrible” he said between coughs.

“It shouldn’t be as bad at street level” Vinyl said.

“Just hold on” I said, walking towards the door “I’ll see if someone in the workshops can knock something together for you” I stepped outside and the ‘aroma’ hit me in the face with the force of a freight train, I had to hold onto the railing for a few moments as the air made me lightheaded, I saw Boris stood on the decking with Mata Nui, he also had his swords, he began to summon a powerful gale, the effect was instantaneous, the thick clouds began to clear and I walked over to the edge of the boat, the sun began to light up the streets below and I could see ponies looking up in amazement, I inhaled, the air was fresh, Boris deactivated his powers but the wind kept blowing, but not as severely.

“What the hell!?” I exclaimed, turning to Boris and Mata Nui.

“Once the strong-wind starts, it draws more in wind-air” he said, shrugging “thus, it keeps on blowing”

“W-well” I said, stumbling over my words “good work, keep it up” I them walked back toward the bridge.

“What was that?” Minion asked me.

“Boris just did Stalliongrad a favour” I said

Sauradox had to admit, the Toa did have their uses sometimes, he flew into the city and landed on the roof of a building, he could wait for the Toa to leave the ship and then keep an eye on them from afar, he was about to activate his chameleon powers when he heard a familiar young voice.

“What are you doing?” Aurora asked, making him jump, he calmed himself before turning to the young green dragoness, who was perched on the edge of the roof

“Young one” he said, raising an eyebrow “you should be on the ship, not in a city as dangerous as this” the dragoness crossed her wings and pouted.

“I’m not young” she said “I’m 10 and a half, and I can handle myself” she then blew out a puff of flames, Sauradox chuckled, before getting out one of his swords and quick as a flash, brought it to her neck, stopping it just in time, Aurora froze.

“That just proves my point” he said, putting he sword away.

“Why do you follow us?” Aurora asked.

“Grown up business” he said “now go on, get back to the ship, I’m sure your father is worried about you”

“O.K.” Aurora said begrudgingly, before flying off, once she was out of sight Sauradox sighed.

“Cute kid” he heard a voice say, he turned towards the voice to see Chiratrix and a ten foot tall bipedal griffiness in brown armour.

“Who’s she?” he asked Chiratrix.

“Hey!” the griffiness objected “you could just ask me” Sauradox got out his blade and pressed it to her throat, he then leaned in close.

“I am technically your superior, as I don’t know who you are, I could within rights assume you are a threat and dispatch you” he brought the blade away from her neck and stowed it away, he walked to the edge of the building and watched the ponies walking “who are you and why did you come here?”

“The name’s Leorahk” the griffin said “and tall, dark and gloomy wants you to acquaint us with the Toa” Sauradox looked down the street and saw the Toa walking in their direction.

“Shape shift, now!” he ordered, the other two Makuta nodded before turning into their respective disguises and walking to the edge of the building, he then pointed towards the Toa “O.K. first things first, the red one is their leader, he goes by the name of Vuur Koning, he is a Toa of Fire, wields a fire blade and a mask of shielding; a common combination according to Teridax, the big guy with black and gunmetal armour is Vuur Koning’s blood brother, he goes by the name of Minion, he has an un-activated mask of accuracy and is a Toa of Magnetism, so engage him with caution, also steer clear of his arm mounted cannon, its plasma rounds will melt right through your armour and keep going out the other side, next we have Vinyl Scratch, former D.J. and Toa of Sound rather appropriately, with an unactuated mask of sonar, watch for her concussion cannon, the decibels alone will rupture your eardrums if you concussive force doesn’t shatter your armour first, next is Autumn Skies, former special-operations guard and Toa of Iron, teamed up with Minion they are a force to be reckoned with, her wrist mounted retractable swords and wing blades make a formidable combination, that big wolf is Scar, Toa of Plant life, that might not seem like much of a threat, but he could call forth a pack of Timberwolves and have them combine into a king-Alpha, also watch out for the twin rotary auto guns, just one of them is something to be nervous of, he is very much the heavy support of the team, lastly on the team is Boris Toa of Air, he is the reason the air is so clear today, he has twin rifles on his hips, so he’ll be most likely to be circling around taking pot-shots, if he does get in close quarters combat he has two swords which are a unique mix between a Griffonian Broad-sword and a Neighponese Katana, so make sure he doesn’t catch you with them, any questions?” he then turned to the two She-Makuta’s, Leorahk raised a talon.

“How do you know so much?” she asked.

“I spent a month hiding on their ship” he said with a deadpan, he went to say something but was interrupted by a spell gun going off and a mage round going past him, he looked towards the source of the firing to see a dark blue stallion with a trench coat step forward.

“Alright” he said with a prevalent south Equestrian accent “I don’t know what the hell you three are, but from what I’ve seen and heard, it just screams shady evil plot, and I don’t mean the good kind” the three Makuta raised their eyebrows before activating their chameleon powers and flying away, The pony stood there, open mouthed.

“Now that’s not fair!”

We were sat in a restaurant, grabbing a bite to eat, I noticed a dark blue stallion in a trench coat walking towards us, one that I recognised, I leaned toward Autumn and whispered in her ear.

“Here comes trouble” I said, she looked in the direction of the stallion and groaned, the stallion walked up to us “‘allo, ‘allo, ‘allo, Captain Jack Harkness, long time no see, come to talk to another world jumper again”

“Not this time” he said “Someone is planning something, and you are a part of it”

“I already know” I said “join me and my friends for a drink, I can introduce you to them and explain what we know” the stallion pulled up a chair, I began to introduce everyone to him, Minion was quick to speak up.

“What, Captain Jack Harkness, as in…Torchwood?” he asked.

“Yes” both me and Jack said

“Before you say anything” I said “he already knows about the whole T.V. show thing, he is from an alternate version of our world, Daleks, Cybermen, they all exist, he somehow fell through into this world, I met him whilst staying in Canterlot, helped him out a few time as well”

“Right” Jack Harkness said “the reason I came looking for you…”

“We already know” I said “someone, or something, is plotting against us, we don’t know who, or what, but I met one of their minions, so to speak, and from what we can tell, he seem a rather reluctant villain, now, I have something to ask of you” he quirked an eyebrow.

“Go on” he said.

“Join us” I said, he seemed taken aback “we could use someone with your abilities, you literally cannot die, that is unbelievably useful” he pondered for a moment before smirking

“Look” he said “if you wanted me for some messed up kink of yours, you could have just asked” Minion, Vinyl and Scar burst out laughing, I face planted the table.

“God fucking dammit” I muttered.

“But seriously” he said “I don’t see why not, it’s pretty much a round the world cruise, plus I have a feeling whatever is plotting against you is following you around”

“We know!” everyone else on the table said.

Sauradox frowned, the last thing he needed was the Toa gaining an ally who couldn’t die, but still, he could always give him to Teridax for amusement, he opened up a portal to Teridax’s lair.

“What is it?” Teridax asked.

“Something has come up” Sauradox said “the Toa have gained an ally, one who can’t die” Teridax turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

“How is that possible?” Teridax asked.

“From what I could read from his mind, he is also a world jumper, like two of the Toa” Sauradox said “he knows a being called the Doctor, one of the Doctors companions looked into a dimension called the Time Vortex, the companion used her new powers to destroy an entire species of war machines and revive the then recently killed ally of the Toa, who calls himself Jack Harkness, now he is immortal and if he is killed he revives a few seconds later”

“What an interesting ability” Teridax mused “if I could absorb him…”

“Do you want me to capture him?” Sauradox asked, Teridax waived a hand dismissively.

“Not yet” he said “once I rise to power, until then you are to keep as hidden as possible”

“Yes, my Lord” Sauradox said before walking back through the portal.

All Makuta have the ability to absorb enemies via a 'Shadow Hand', they gain all of their enemies abilities, including physical abilities such as wings, but to do so, they have to destroy the mind of their opponent

this is a shadow hand

the reason Teridax was so easily defeated in the second movie was because he had just absorbed three different individuals, and as such, he was mentally strained
