I stood up and blew the cloud of sand away with a wall of fire.

“Do you fucking mind attacking my ship unpro…” I trailed off when I saw who it was. Standing there, looking just as surprised as me was Toa Pohatu Nuva, complete with adaptive armour.

“Uh…” we both said “what?”

“Are you…” Pohatu said “a Toa?”

“Neu-Toa, actually” I said, taking off my mask “try and think of a Glatorian with Toa abilities, I’m Vuur Koning, leader of the Neu-Toa” he just looked at me like I had two heads.

“You’re organic” he said.

“Well aren’t you perceptive” I said, sarcastically, at that point the rest of the Neu-Toa ran over, Vapaa and Natrix froze when they saw Pohatu.

“Uh…” they both said, before pointing at Pohatu “I see a Toa” Pohatu eyed the Neu-Toa warily, his gaze hung on Echo the longest.

“Can I help you?” Echo asked, smirking whilst changing into an exact copy of Pohatu.

“Am I missing something?” Pohatu asked, turning to me.

“You mean the fact that we are all organic and come from multiple different species?” I asked “another thing about Neu-Toa, anyone can become one, but they have to be ‘chosen’ by the mask of life” I heard a high pitched whine in the distance and I spotted five objects

“Well” Pohatu said, chuckling and walking next to me “took them long enough” Minion and I walked back to stand in line with the rest of the Wolfpack. Soon the entire Toa Nuva, including Tahu who was back in adaptive flight armour were standing on the bow looking at us with wary glances.

“Welcome aboard the Jörmungandr” I said “I am Toa Vuur Koning, leader of the Wolfpack” Tahu scoffed.

“You look nothing like Toa” he said, walking forward.

“I’m not just a Toa” I said, also walking forward and meeting him halfway “I’m a Neu-Toa, we’re what happens when the Ignika deems an ordinary person worthy to carry the title of Toa, I would also think carefully before you start a fight with us. We may not be Nuva, but we have ways of compensating”

“I’d like to see you try” Tahu said, I spell-jumped behind him and kicked his legs out from under him.

“And that was without using a mask power” I said, clapping the dust off of my hands and walking back towards my team.

“I like him already” Kopaka said, smirking ever so slightly, Tahu glared at his brother as he stood up.

“Why are you here?” Tahu asked, giving me a look that would melt diamonds.

“We are merely explorers from the far north” I said “I also happen to be the captain of a crew of 70’000, some of whom you might recognise” a Skakdi walked past as I said this, glancing at the Toa briefly before walking on.

“You are allied with Skakdi?” Gali asked.

“They are part of my crew” I said “and they know what happens when they step out of line, just ask the changeling that cut off my sons arm, although don’t expect him the give you an answer” their eyes widened when I said that.

“What exactly did you do, Fire-spitter?” Lewa asked.

“I personally didn’t do anything” I said “but let’s just say it involved a metal box, a can of poison and a bucket of water” I heard Garnet sigh followed by the clanking of his robotic arm.

“Why do you have to intimidate…” he trailed off as he walked around the corner and saw the Toa “uh, Dad?”

“Yes, Garnet?” I asked.

“When did they get here?” he asked, pointing at the Toa Nuva

“Why is that Rahi talking?” Onua asked his fellow Toa.

“Three things” I said “One; he’s not a Rahi, he’s a Kirin. Two; his name is Garnet and three; we can hear you”

“Okay” Onua said “why is the Kirin talking?”

“Why is it such a difficult concept for you to understand?” Garnet asked “I can talk, big deal” he rolled his eyes.

“You watch how you talk” Tahu said, I stepped forward.

“You dare talk to my son like that?” I asked “I don’t care if you are a Toa Nuva, I will end you if you speak to him like that again” Tahu scowled.

“I doubt it” he said, I chuckled and nodded before blasting him back with a pulse of magic.

“You know” I said, walking towards him “we were actually looking for you, I was wanting to meet you, but now I’m not so sure, because frankly you’re an arsehole” Tahu growled and stood up, the other Toa Nuva went to help but he motioned for them to stand back. He then got out his razor shield with 2 foot long blades and Nynrah ghost blaster, I scoffed before getting out my 5 ft. long power sword and arcane pistol.

“It’s not the weapon” Tahu said “it’s how you use it”

“True” I said, as my armour adapted to flight mode “but a big arse sword helps” I gave my wings a few test flaps before charging towards him, using my wings to propel me. I drew back my sword before swinging, he blocked my attack, the force causing his blades to stop spinning. I spell-jumped behind him and kicked him in the back, sending him stumbling forward. He growled before swinging at me, I parried his blow and struck with my sword, causing him the take a step back. He then activated his thrusters and took off, I followed him up and swung my sword. He blocked and I kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying back. I then flew after him and kicked him down to the ground below, he recovered and stopped his descent before he hit the ground, flying back up towards me with rage in his eyes. He let out a war cry and sent forth a beam of elemental energy, which I just absorbed. He stopped and looked at me in surprise.

“Same element, genius” I said, before diving towards him. I charged up a concentrated ball of fire in my left hand, using the elemental energy he gave me to add to it. Once I had enough elemental energy compressed into a ball I encased it in magic before hurling it at the Toa Nuva of fire with a battle cry. The ball hit him and exploded, sending him flying towards the ground. He impacted the frozen ground with a boom and I landed nearby before walking towards the smoking crater, I walked up to the edge and a robotic hand grabbed my throat.

“You’ve just made a grave mistake” he said, lifting me up I laughed before spell-jumping behind him and sending a blast of magic into his back.

“Oh really?” I asked “because I’m not the one getting his arse handed to him by a 19 year old” he levelled his blaster at me and fired, I activated my Hau to deflect it before firing my pistol at him. He blocked it with his shield before charging towards me, I side stepped and crouched down before tripping him up and sending him falling into the crater.

“Are you quite done?” I asked, walking over “Because I can keep this up all day, you may be more experienced but I have one advantage”

“And what’s that?” he asked, I charged up an offensive spell.

“Magic” I said, before I had a chance to fire the shot Autumn and Gali flew down and stood between me and Tahu.

“Brothers, enough!” Gali said.

“We don’t have time for petty squabbles” Autumn added, Gali nodded.

“We should be working together” Gali said “not trying to rip each-others throats out”

“I’m sorry!” I said, indignantly “I wasn’t the one threatening my son, I was merely showing what happens when he does” I looked at Tahu as I said this

“Well your ‘son’ is a rude little bastard” Tahu said, and Autumn punched him in the face.

“He’s my son as well” she said, massaging her knuckles and sending a death glare towards the Toa of fire, Gali raised an eyebrow and looked between me and Autumn.

“He’s adopted” I said, I then walked towards Tahu “when you are on my ship, like it or not I outrank you and you will obey my command, and if you don’t like that. Well, I’m sure the 70’000 crew plus the ice dragon will provide enough incentive for you to keep your mouth shut”

“Whatever” Tahu said, before flying back onto the ship, the rest of us followed close behind. Tahu landed on the deck and walked towards the railing.

“Right” I said, turning to Kopaka, who acted as deputy of the Toa Nuva “where are you headed?”

“We were headed towards the city of New Altero” he said, stoically.

“Which way is that?” I asked.

We soon reached New Altero, which looked a lot like Metru Nui, except it was in the middle of an arctic tundra and filled with all manner of Spherus Magnans. It was also rather war torn, with a large number of buildings reduced to rubble.

“What the hell…?” I asked as we drifted past a bullet ridden tower block, I turned to the Toa “what caused this?” Tahu sighed.

“The Shadowed One’s army is ruthless, plus they have floating warships similar to this one” he said “at first we thought you were a new vessel, that’s why Pohatu appeared the way he did” I scowled.

“Which direction is his fortress?” I asked, they shrugged.

“They just appear out of nowhere and start attacking the city” Pohatu said, sadly “we have lost so many over the years”

“Well” I said “it’s about time you got some help, did I mention I managed to intimidate Nektann when we accidentally encroached on the Shadowed One’s territory?” they looked at me like I’d gone mad.

“I doubt it” Tahu said.

“Trust me” I said “I don’t think they have anything like this vessel, it’s the biggest iron clad I’ve ever seen, that’s for sure”

“I’ll admit” Onua said “I haven’t seen a ship as big as this amongst the shadowed ones fleet”

“Perfect” I said, smirking

“What?” Autumn asked.

“I’ve just thought of a plan for chasing the shadowed ones fleet back to whatever hole they crawled out of” I said “do you know when the will next attack?”

“They usually attack every few days” Kopaka said “the next one is soon”

“Even better” I said, I explained the plan to them and we began preparing.

*the next day*

The Jörmungandr was in position behind a several towers, obscuring it pretty well. All of the Toa apart from the Toa Nuva were on board. We would wait for the Shadowed Ones forces to attack and then, we would unleash hell upon them. Pohatu flew over.

“They’ve been spotted” he said.

“Perfect” I said, a few hours later I began to hear cannon fire and I saw a pillar of fire shoot into the sky. That was the signal, the ship ascended rapidly and eventually stopped above the towers. We began opening fire upon the vessels and they began to drop out of the sky until only a few were left, they began turning back “after them!” Frostfang charged forward after the few vessels and followed at a distance. The Toa Nuva soon flew over and landed on the deck.

“Nice work” Pohatu said, looking at the fleeing vessels. We followed them for several days until we came to a valley.

“That son of a Vorox!” Tahu said “we searched here and couldn’t find him” we followed the ships to a large fortress and a small vessel flew over.

“Turn back” a Skakdi said from the ship

“How about this?” I said “you go fuck yourself and jump off your ship, we aren’t leaving until the Shadowed one agrees to surrender”

“And if we don’t?” he asked, I nodded to a crew member and a few moments later the Rail gun aimed at the fortress. The Skakdi paled “I-I’ll just go tell him”

“And tell him Vuur Koning sends his regards” I said.

*POV 3rd person*

The Shadowed One was not pleased, after all these years of almost constant victory this…’Vuur Koning’…had to show up, he was shaken from his musings by a Skakdi walking into the throne room.

“Um…S-Shadowed O-One?” the Skakdi said.

“What?” the Shadowed One asked.

“Um…a Toa calling himself Vuur Koning is outside with a warship…” he didn’t get to finish his sentence as the Shadowed One disintegrated him with his eyebeam before walking to a balcony. He actually did a double take, about half a mile away was a colossal warship with a dragon attached to it.

“Well” the Shadowed One said “this complicates things” he then headed towards a hangar and got into a speeder.

*POV 1st person Vuur Koning*

Sometime later I saw a small aircraft of some type approaching, it landed on the substantial area on the front of the ship and a tall, dark figure stepped out. I was the only one there to greet him.

“I presume you are the Shadowed One” I said.

“That would be correct, Vuur Koning, I presume” the Shadowed One said, I nodded “why do you attack my vessels, threaten my Fortress?”

“You’re one to talk” I said “I saw New Altero”

“Ah” he said “what are your terms?”

“Unconditional surrender” I said.

“Or?” he asked, I snapped my fingers and the Rail gun fired at the fortress.

“It wasn’t up for discussion” I said as the top of the fortress exploded and collapsed into the valley below.

“HOW DARE YOU!” He thundered before firing his eye beam. I spell jumped behind him and slashed the back of his heels with my hunting knife, sending him onto all fours. The rest of the Neu-Toa walked forward and pointed their weapons at him, Minion held him down with his magnetic powers.

“I’m sure the Order will just love to get their hands on you” I said, walking around. His eyes widened.

“What do you know of the Order?” he asked.

“I’m fucking part of it, mate” I said, throwing my arms out, I then walked forward and knelt down “I could hand you in or, I could just kill you right here. I somehow doubt the Toa will object after what you’ve done”

“You don’t have it in you” the shadowed one sneered.

“Fucking try me!” I shouted, I then began twirling my hunting knife “you see, Neu-Toa don’t have any problems with killing, especially when it involves scum like you. Here are my terms; Surrender to the order, or die at our hands” his eyes followed the hunting knife, eventually he snarled.

“Fine!” he spat “you win, but this isn’t over” I laughed.

“Oh, I think it is” I said, as several Order of Mata Nui agents walked over and picked him up “enjoy your time in the pit, I hear it’s rather nice this time of year” he snarled as he was dragged through a portal.

“Well that was anti-climactic” Vinyl remarked as the portal closed.

When we got back to New Altero the entire city began celebrating, not just because the war was over, but because countless friends were reunited. We were all sat in a great coliseum watching a kohli match when I turned to Turaga Dume.

“Do any of you know what happened 400 million years ago?” Dume sighed and nodded.

“The Toa were out scouting when they came across a tree of some sort, Lewa touched it and it seemed to explode into bright lights. The world was transformed as a result and we fled to the south” he said.

“The Tree of Harmony?” I asked, Dume shrugged “why didn’t you stay up north”

“our time was over, it was time for new civilisations to have their turn in the world” he said, I went to say something but he stopped me “I know what you are going to say, and the answer is no, we aren’t going to go back up north, we are perfectly fine here, we just need to rebuild” I sighed, before bowing.

“Very well, Turaga Dume” I said, Autumn turned to me.

“What do we do now?” she asked, I shrugged.

“The rest of the Neu Toa can do what they wish” I said “but I wouldn’t mind staying here for a while, as long as you are willing to as well”

“I don’t have a problem with it” she said “although I don’t know about the…” whatever she was about to say was interrupted by a loud boom and a blinding flash of light, when the flash faded I could see 12 individuals of varying sizes. I switched to the mask of quick travel and reappeared down there in a flash, just in time to see a beaten and bloodied Celestia collapse into a heap.

“Oh shit!” I exclaimed “what happened?” Luna was shaking her head in denial.

“All this time” she said “right under our feet”

“Who?” I asked, at that moment Teridax from the Melding universe walked forward and Luna ran in front of the others protectively

“STAY AWAY FROM THEM, FOUL SHADOW-DAEMON” she boomed, causing the crowd to murmur.

“I can assure you I have no shadow in me” alternate Teridax said, I quickly put two and two together.

“Oh shit…” I said, falling to my knees and shaking my head, I looked at the Mane six, Spike and the C.M.C. who were all teary eyed “is Celestia going to be okay okay?” Twilight nodded.

“She’ll recover” Twilight said, nuzzling the unconscious princess. She choked out a sob “how could this happen?” at that point the rest of the Neu-Toa ran over.

“What happened?” Autumn asked, I sighed.

“It’s over” I said.

“What?” she asked confused.

“I should never have left Equestria” I said.

“Why?” Minion asked, I sighed and a tear fell down my cheek

“Equestria has fallen” I said "Teridax has returned"
