I was on the Jörmungandr in my quarters, the ship itself was currently flying south over the southern continent, I had assigned the different Spherus Magnan species with jobs based on what they did originally. The Vortixx were assigned to weapons building and general repair of the ship, the Skakdi were assigned to weapons building and defence. The Steltians, Skrall, Glatorians and the odd Titan amongst the crew were assigned to defence. The Matoran and Agori were assigned to the general crew doing whatever they were good at, like Balta; who was a Ta-Matoran skilled with technology and good with making small, practical devices, he went bonkers when he saw my phone. There was even Keetongu, who went into the Medical ward.
I was writing something up when I felt a mental twinge from the mask of Sonar. I switched to the mask and activated it and for the briefest of seconds I saw a tall figure, but other than that I couldn’t make out their features. I stood up and got out my sword but I heard a tittering.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you” a voice said and I felt a blade press against my neck, although I couldn’t see it, I dropped the sword and I felt the blade move away from my throat “that’s better”

“I’m guessing you are the one that’s setting off my mask of sonar” I said.

“Could be” the voice said “My name is Jerbraz, once one of the most handsome and dashing members of my little circle of friends... that is, back when I could be seen. Now I have to rely on my charm alone to make an impression... that and this nasty sword that conveniently turned invisible with me. If you see someone's head just suddenly go flying off for no reason, it's not your imagination" my stomach dropped at that moment

“Wh-why are you here?” I asked, this guy was really setting my nerves on edge.

“My friends have been watching this world from the side-lines for millions of years, and you’ve piqued our interest” he said, I could hear footsteps moving around and a picture of myself and my dad lifted up “you’re not from this world and yet, you know an incredible amount about us, more so than the inhabitants of this world”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about” I said, crossing my arms.

“Rahkshi ring any bells?” Jerbraz asked “we want to know why you know”

“You really want the truth?” I asked “you aren’t gonna kill me once you know?”

“No, you’re too important to our interests” Jerbraz said, I walked over to my laptop.

“Better if I show you” I said, I brought up the page for the Bionicle Wikia “in all honesty, you, as in the Spherus Magnans as a whole. Are nothing but something imagined by someone from my world. Not that I’m complaining that you exist”

“Prove it” Jerbraz said.

“Okay” I said, I searched up for Jerbraz and a page came up displaying information about him “I thought your name rang a couple of bells, I’m guessing the Order of Mata Nui sent you” he didn’t say anything straight away

“Yes” he said, I heard a blade being sheathed “we want you to join our little group”

“I don’t see why” I said, shrugging “I’m busy enough as it is, between leading the Neu-Toa, running a family, acting as captain and searching for the original Toa I don’t really have much time to go running off assassinating people for you”

“Oh no, nothing like that” he said “just keep an eye on the ones like Roodaka”

“Why not ask Discord to do that?” I asked, he laughed.

“You mean that Draconequiis?” he asked “don’t make me laugh. He’s, as you would say, more ‘bat-shit-fucking-insane’ than Vezon, harder to track as well, trust me, we already asked him and he just laughed and disappeared”

“What other non-Spherus Magnans have you asked to join?” I asked.

“That’s need-to-know I’m afraid” he said “although you’d be surprised who actually accepted. You know one of them rather well, although she’s usually too busy to go on missions”

“Autumn?” I said.

“No, we don’t usually recruit Toa” he said “think much older and more powerful” the realisation dawned on me.

“You don’t mean…” he cut me off.

“Not here, not where people could hear us” he said “so, what do you say, you with us?” I thought for a few moments.

“Sure” I said “what do you want me to do?”

“Just carry on as normal, unless something of interest comes up. A different member will come back each month for a report”

“Well, okay” I said, no response “hello?” he was gone, I shook my head before walking out of my quarters, whatever I was writing could wait for another time. I walked down to weapons building and testing to find my usual crew working with Skakdi, Vortix and the odd matoran and Agori like they were best friends and even swapping the odd story. I chuckled before moving on, they could chat for now. I soon reached the sparring hall the see the Glatorians and Neu-Toa taking turns in sparring. What surprised me was Ackaar teaching Garnet to fight, and he was having quite a hard time keeping up with the Kirin, whose tactic of using his arm and tail at the same time was proving quite effective in fending off and even matching the more experienced Glatorian.

“You’re getting slow, Old Timer” Garnet said, smirking whilst striking with his arm, which was currently a blade much like my own, and using his tail to block Ackaar’s parry, Ackaar snorted an amusement.

“Watch it, ‘Boy’” he said, attempting to kick Garnets legs out from under him, only for the Kirin to take off and hover for a few seconds before landing and continuing his assault “I’m just a little out of practice” the Glatorian parried the Kirin and pinned his tail on the floor. At what looked like quite an uncomfortable angle.

“Ahh” Garnet said, trying to pull away “that really hurts” the Glatorian smirked before releasing him.

“That’s for calling me old timer” Ackaar said, he noticed me watching and walked over “your son is quite the fighter, might I ask how his arm ended up like that?”

“Wrong place at the wrong time” I said “a changeling attacked him and cut his arm off” the fire Glatorian winced.

“At that age!?” he asked, jerking a thumb towards the Kirin, who was currently talking with one of the Glatorians.

“Some people are just nasty like that” I said, shrugging

*a few weeks later*

We were camped at our next stop on the continent, this area was more desert like in nature. So, Little Strongheart was also with us as she was experienced in desert conditions, in addition to her Skohka and some of the more familiar Glatorians were with us. We were sat around a camp fire, shielding us from the cold of the night.

“What is that!?” Little Strongheart exclaimed, we all looked to where she was pointing to see several individuals. But other than the red lights of their eyes we couldn’t make anything out, after a few seconds they disappeared behind the outcropping.

“Alright” I said “tonight, we’re taking turns in keeping watch, okay?” they all nodded or muttered their agreements.

“Skohka will take first watch” Skohka said.

“Fair enough” I said, shrugging, Ackaar also agreed to stand watch with him

*POV 3rd person, later that night*

Ruby carefully made her way through the camp site until she walked up to the outcropping that Skohka was sat on.

“Hey, Skohka”” she said quietly, the Steltian didn’t visibly respond.

“Pretty Ruby should be asleep with the others” Skohka said, not taking his eyes away from scanning the horizon.

“I couldn’t sleep” she said, shrugging.

“Not much difference between sitting here and laying by the fire” he said “except fire is warmer”

“What did you do?” she asked “I mean, before the Rahkshi”

“Skohka was builder” Skohka said with a shrug “all big Steltians were builders before Teridax took over, even after we built buildings. There was one that worked for group of warriors but we don’t really talk about him”

“Why not?” Ruby asked, Skohka looked the Kirin in the eye and frowned.

“Because he help Teridax” he said, he heard a rustling in the distance, his head shot in the direction of the sound and his disk launcher sprung up from behind his right shoulder and began charging. After a few seconds he shook his head dismissively and cancelled the charge on his disk launcher before it folded back down. Only for a rock to fall on his head, causing him to pass out. Just before he lost consciousness he saw someone or something drag an unconscious Ruby away, he barely noticed someone starting to drag him away as well.

*1st person Vuur Koning*

I awoke to someone shaking my shoulder, I opened my eyes to see Autumn looking at me with a worried look on her face, it was early morning judging by the tint of blue in the sky.

“Autumn?” I asked groggily “what’s wrong?”

“Ruby and Skohka are missing” she said.

“What!?” I exclaimed, I leapt to my feet, any thoughts of sleep gone “What happened?”

“We’re not sure” she admitted “but Scar and Little Strongheart both agree that at some point in the night Ruby got up and walked over to where Skohka was keeping watch, Ackaar can confirm this as he heard voices that sounded familiar although he couldn’t quite place them. At some point they both hit the ground and were seemingly dragged off”

“Well why aren’t we going after them?” I asked, putting my armour on.

“All the Glatorians say that it’s too dangerous at night, they used to live in desert conditions” she noticed me walking towards something which had a tarpaulin over it “What are you doing?”

“I never got a chance to properly test this, guess now’s as good a time as any” as I said this I pulled the tarp off to reveal my hover bike.

“You can’t be serious!” she said.

“She’s our daughter!” I shouted, startling the others “I will not sit idle whilst God knows what do God knows what to her. Now you can either come with me, or get the fuck out of my way” I sat on the bike and turned it on as I said this, she opened her wings and flapped them a few times.

“No way am I letting you go out there by yourself” Autumn said, the Glatorians and Toa ran up.

“No way are you going out at this time” Kina said.

“Watch me” I said, pressing a button that caused two Gatling guns to fold out, one either side. Vapaa disappeared in a flash and a few moments later a panel on the side of the Jörmungandr opened up and a vehicle of some sort went flying out. It landed in the sand with a thud and when the dust cleared I could see that it was Vapaa’s pickup, or at least, it used to be. It was longer and heavily armoured, with two Gatling gun turrets on the back. I heard a click and two panels on the bonnet slid away and two Gatling guns rose up. Vapaa leaned out the window and a Dukes of Hazard horn went off.

“Mind if me and my team join you?” he asked, smirking.

*POV 3rd person*

Ruby woke up with a groan, when she tried to open her eyes she found something blocking them. She moved her hands to her eyes and found a cloth of some sort blocking them

“Urgh, my head” she said, rubbing the back of her head. She felt a warm wetness on the back of her head and the pain increased dramatically, causing her to cry out.

“Is pretty Ruby okay?” she head Skohka say.

“Skohka?” she called, she tried to move but she found that her arms, legs and tail were all tied, only giving her enough movement to be slightly comfortable.

“Skohka is fine” she heard the Steltian say “small bump on the head is all” at that point she heard a chuckling and footsteps approaching, as well as a slight dragging sound, she heard Skohka growl quietly.

“Well, I wouldn’t call it a small bump” a voice said, it was the type of voice that didn’t exactly reek of confidence, more so they knew exactly what they were capable of. The voice also had a light accent that she couldn’t quite place.

“Who’s there?” she growled “if my father finds out…” she let a few licks of flame seep out between her teeth, the voice tittered and she felt a clawed hand clamp against her throat and lift her up until the chains securing her limbs were taught.

“Seems you have some fight left in you” the voice said “I love it when they have some fight left in them” this was more said to himself than to anyone in particular.

“Ack…who are you?” Ruby choked out, the hand lessened its grip slightly, the voice hummed quietly and she felt the hand shift.

“Well” the voice said “I guess if I’m going to kill you I could at least give you the privilege of letting you gaze upon the face of your killer” after a few moments the cloth covering her eyes fell away to reveal a red Rahkshi of some sort. But it was unlike any she’d seen or even heard of, it was actually strikingly similar to the Elites from that halo game her brother played. It stood up straighter than ordinary Rahkshi and it was totally devoid of any space for a Kraata, its head was serpentine but the eyes showed high intelligence.

“Rahkshi!?” Ruby exclaimed, the Rahkshi scoffed and dropped her unceremoniously.

“Once perhaps” he said, walking away. Ruby noticed he had a long tail which dragged behind him “but now I and others like me have intelligence and sentience which elevate us above our more bestial brethren” he practically spat the last part.

“What do you mean?” Ruby asked, the Rahkshi smirked and his hand began to glow a dark crimson. Ruby found her mind filled with countless horrors, rendering her stricken with fear for a moment.

“my kind is known as Turahk" he said "what happened to elevate us to this…level…I do not know. All I remember from my inferior state was a wave of energy, causing each breed to develop their own…unique appearances and personality. For instance, I and others like me would take great pleasure in filling your mind with unimaginable horrors whilst watching you slowly bleed out until you nothing but a dry, empty husk” a long reptilian tongue snaked out between his teeth and he gave a small hiss as he picked up a dagger. Before walking towards Ruby, just as he reached the Kirin he hesitated and then hummed in thought. He then turned and began walking towards Skohka, she noticed for the first time that he had a massive crack running along the length of is cranial plate and the lens of one of his eyes had a noticeable crack

“What are you doing?” She asked, panicking.

“I thought I could increase your suffering if I start with your friend” he said, before stabbing the dagger into the Steltians chest plate, causing Skohka to grunt in pain. The Turahk’s long tongue snaked out and he gave a chuckle as he looked at Ruby “I am a Turahk. And your fear is delicious” he then pulled out the bloody dagger and began walking towards Ruby.

Okay, for reference because some people were confused, the last lot of Rahkshi were Guurahk (The reason they were black is because they've spent so long down in a cave), because there isn't a Rahkshi with Acid powers and Disintegration was the closest power.

character Bio:
Turahk
"I am a Turahk. And your fear is delicious"

Natural sadists, Turahk are extremely intelligent and they know it, they often take great pleasure in torturing victims and feeding off of their fear before killing them as slowly and painfully as possible.

Turahk absorb the fear of their victims to use later, rather than expelling the natural reserves that they already have.
