Journey of Iron: Part I
Irokoa sailed through inter-dimensional space at impossible speeds, until he saw at the end, the sky line of Mt. Yuo-sarka, on his home island of La Nui. His Pakari reflected the glitter of the flames as he sailed over the volcano on his skyboard. He looked over he land, the damaged land, the undead plague was swarming everywhere. They were in the cities, and in kio-long mega swarms. Moaning, biting, and eating every living creature they could find. "This Karzahni-hole is really going down the tubes," he said looking at the once beautiful jungles of La Nui now filled with packs of zombified Matoran. He fired Iron bolts at one of the packs that was trying to get at a Muaka cub. The Muaka looked up as if to say "thank you", even though it could hardly see Irokoa as he sailed above the Vuata Maca trees. Then finally he found what he was looking for, the four ProtoSteel walls that spanned for thirty kio across the desert. Within he could see the glittering lights of Po-lauka, the last refuge of the survivors from the plague. He saw the river and forest in the corner of the complex, planted by the Toa of Air and of Water that had perished long ago during the fifty years that it had taken to build the fortress. He saw the Toa's huts where he and the rest of the Toa Lauka had slept. He thought of Plasmak, the Toa of Stone that had been charged with leading the island's Military forces, and of Glacia, the Toa of Crystal charge with the remaining Matoran's care. "Wait til' they see this old guy," Irokoa said grinning. He sailed down, only to be greeted by small Rahkshi-like beings that most simply called "Cordak Foot Soldiers". The Cordak on their backs were armed, loaded, and aimed at Irokoa's Kanohi. These were the minions of the Makuta Pak Zo who controlled the Gardiak, six warlords of La Nui, and their hordes of undead. "We have taken occupation of this settlement, Toa. Surrender or your brother dies," the nearest soldier said, while his lackeys revealed themselves to be holding a squirming Fe-matoran.
