The Virus: chapter 2

Chapter II

Shadix

“YES! YESYESYES! He signed up! Wa-hoo!” Kiihka had no idea what he was getting himself into. When Shadix arrived, he wasn’t what Kiihka had expected.
“You know that weapons longer then 8” are suppose to be kept in you cabin?” Kiihka said to Shadix after the first few days. Instead of saying something like “Oh, I didn’t know”, he stooped down to the little Matoran and said:
“I’m going to keep it outside of my cabin unless I go into my cabin. Then it comes into my cabin because I’m in the cabin. I keep my weapon on my at all times.”
“Well, that’s violating the… uh… rules.”
“Whose rules? Yours or the law?”
“Well… um… mine”
“Then may I strongly suggest you let me keep my weapon on me.”
Later, Shadix and Kiihka butted heads again.
“Hey! No food in the cabins!”
Shadix looked up from his research lab.
“What did you say?”
“No uh… food in the cabins.”
“Let me ask you something: if you knew today was your day on earth, what would you do differently? Especially if, by doing something differently, today might not be your last day on earth.”
Kiihka was beat again. Finally, Kiihka tried to gain a little ground.
“I could kick you out of the camp for violating so many of my rules.” Then it hit him. Wrong word choice.
“You could kick me out. But would you? I really doubt it. A Matoran like you can’t push a Toa like me, or any Toa out of this camp.”
Kiihka was not getting ground. He knew that Tanma and Photok were on his side (unless it came to the ‘Turbo Tazor light eliminator 15000’), but at the rate he could be completely be pushed out of the camp! The thought of losing his power was too much.

Something snapped.

Now he was determined to kick Shadix out of the camp. He went over to talk to Tanma and Photok.
“Guys, I need your help.”
“With what?” Said the perky Tanma.
“You know Shadix has been breaking a lot of rules lately?”
“Yeah…” They both said.
“I’m kicking him out. Undoubtedly he will fight. I need you too to take him on, and drive him out.”
“What! You want me to fight my friend? Kiihka, seriously, forcing him out is one thing. Fighting him is a whole different topic!” Tanma said.
“Do it, or I’ll force you out to. Photok? Any questions?”
“I really want to stay here, but I’m not fighting him. Have you seen his training stats?!” Photok said.
“I own his stats! I know he’s strong! That’s why you two are fighting him, not me.”
“Fine! I’ll fight him, only if he starts the fight.” Tanma said, reluctantly.
“Same here… I guess.” Photok said.
“Good! I’ll go talk to him now. You guys sneak up behind him if he says ‘no’ to going.”
“Sneak up behind him! No way!” Tanma said.
“You want to stay here, or leave with Shadix?”

“Shadix! Hey Shadix! I want to talk to you.”
“What, Kiihka?”
“Well, since you’ve been breaking a lot of my rules, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.”
“No! C’mon, a rule about food in your cabin is kinda—“ But Shadix never finished what he was gonna say. A Blade was put to his neck.
“Go on. Just leave.” A voice said from behind.
“Tanma! I didn’t think you would make friends with this crazy Matoran!”
“He’s got a point…” Photok said.
“Just… leave.” Tanma said.
“NO!” Shadix said. He did a back flip, so the dagger only slid down his chest armor. He whipped out his sword and blocked a blow from Tanma. To counter it, he spun his curved blade around, making it tricky to hold for Tanma. Then, with a fast movement he slammed he knee into Tanma’s hand, smashing and twisting it against the force of the sword. Tanma cried out and let go of his weapon at once. Shadix spun around only the duck under Photok’s duel-sided axe. Then Shadix let go of his weapon and jumped to the ground. Using his arms, he launched himself backwards and toward Photok. Shadix’s feet hit Photok in the chest hard, hard enough to knock him down. Then Shadix picked up his weapon again. He looked up just in time to dodge an arrow from Kiihka.
“Coward! Your henchmen come up from behind, and I beat them. Then you try to kill me from the side!”
With that, Shadix lunged at Kiihka. With a sweep with his sword, the cross bow was cut in half. He grabbed Kiihka and threw him backward. At this point Photok and Tanma were not happy. They both got up and attacked Shadix from opposite directions. Shadix jumped up in the air and simulated a running process, kicking both Tanma and Photok in the face twice. They both stumbled back. Now Tanma’s anger was on full fury. He was mad at Kiihka for manipulating him into fighting a friend, and now he was angry with a friend for fighting back so hard. He picked his sword up and now had one idea: to kill Shadix, or Kiihka, depending on who got in his way first. Right now, Shadix was in his way.
“You die now!” Tanma cried out. He lunged at Shadix’s back. Shadix turned around to block the blow, knee Tanma in the gut, and kick him backward. But instead of spending a few seconds recuperating from the blow, he instantly shot at Shadix again. Now it was hand-to-hand combat. Both swords flashed brightly in the afternoon sun. Tanma had the advantage of anger and that the sun was to his back, but Shadix knew how to fight very skillfully. Each blow Tanma threw was blocked, and sometimes countered by Shadix. But Shadix didn’t get many hits on Tanma at all. But then Tanma did something kind of stupid that cost him. He raised his sword above his head, intending to strike from the top. Shadix took the opportunity to smash into Tanma’s chest with his shoulder. This knocked Tanma backward, and he dropped his weapon. Shadix held his blade to Tanma’s neck.
“Surrender?” Shadix said. But right then he looked up and got plowed down by Photok
“’Surrender’? You nut! We’re Toa! We never give up!” Photok said.
“You’ll eat your words. I’m a Toa, too!” Shadix said. Photok was on top of his chest, straddling him. Shadix (being VERY agile) reached back with his legs and wrapped them around Photok’s neck and pulled him off. Tanma had gotten up and swung his sword at Shadix. He dodged it and grabbed his own weapon and started fighting both at the same time. He cut the head off Photok’s axe, making it useless. Then he did a jump-kick attack were he spun his whole body around so his feet collided into Tanma. Tanma was forced backwards, giving Shadix some time to push Photok to the ground.
“Why? Why do you want to kill me?” Shadix said to the charging Tanma. Tanma didn’t answer. But Shadix raised his leg and kicked. This proved to be very bad. Tanma grabbed his leg and twisted it, making Shadix fall down. Shadix was on his chest, so he tried doing the same trick he’d done to Photok. He launched himself up and toward Tanma. Tanma moved out of the way, but Shadix gained his balance, standing up. But right before Shadix was going to attack, something metal hit him hard in the face. Everything started going black.
Kiihka had tied a heavy weight to a rope that was going over Shadix’s head. So Kiihka threw the weight, and it came and hit Shadix in the head. Kiihka was hoping this would kill him, but it didn’t. But it was making everything go black for Shadix.
“Now who’s so strong, little Toa?” Tanma said to the fading Shadix.
“Throw him out!” Kiihka said.
Then everything went black.

Monday's Chapter AND...


Young Toa Camp

Chapter I

New Registration

Matoran Kiihka was rummaging through his E-mail. “25% off on your next oil refill @ Wal-mart!” “Save thousands on colleague tuition!” “Click here for a free laptop!”.
“Yeah, sure.” He mumbled. He was hoping to find something that had to do with his YTC (Young Toa Camp). As he deleted two pages of junk, he saw something interesting. “Hey qwertyuiop123, ToaTanma445 has sighed up for your camp!”
“Oh good!!” He said as he clicked on it. He read through the application.
“Interesting… yeah, cool!” He clicked the ‘accept’ button.

A few days later, Kiihka met with ToaTanma445. It turned out the he really was Toa Tanma. He had the body that he had as a Matoran, but longer legs and arms and wielded a tri-bladed scimitar. He wore the mask Miru, mask of levitation. It looked the same as when he was a Matoran. His color scheme was gray and light green with a side-color of silver.
“Hello Qwertyuiop123!” Said Tanma
“And hello to you, ToaTanma445!” Kiihka said as he walked up to Tanma. “So, are you ready for camp? Right now, you’re the only one who was sighed up.”
Tanma gave him a look of ‘what? You gotta be kidding me’.
“You should have a bunch of people… at least one more!”
“Nope! You’re my first one!”
“Whoa… I gotta tell my friends about this. I don’t wanna get lonely here!”
“Oh, you won’t have much time to get lonely.”
By the time Kiihka got home, he had another registration!
“Hmm… Spinax8U… that’s nice.” He said as he pushed the ‘accept’ button.
Once Spinax8U and ToaTanma445 got to the camp, they say something they hadn’t expected. 20-foot tall protosteel walls, electrified barbed wire on the top, and huge gates.
“Whoa. It looks… almost evil.” Said Tanma
“No kidding.” Replied Photok
“Just wait till you get inside.” Said Kiihka
“Lemme guess, a dungeon?” Said Tanma
“An execution room?” Said Photok
“You guys are nuts.”
Once they actually got past the 45-padlocked door, they saw a completely different scene. It was a training arena, Bunks, shops, basketball hoop, baseball field, main control center, and a lot more space for more stuff.
“Dibs on the aspen bunks!” said Photok
“What the heck is THAT?!” said Tanma pointing over to a creature with huge fangs, and claws, and spins, and red eyes.
“That’s a Spinax!” Said Photok. “It’s chained up. Not worries.”
“Do you know much about Spinax?”
“Oh yeah. Notice the username? ‘Spinax8U’.” Said Photok
“That’s not encouraging. ‘Spinax8U’? That’s the same as Spinax ate you!”
“Well… yeah. That can’t be helped.”
“But I want the oak bunks.” Said Tanma. All the rows of bunks are named after trees. So when Photok wanted aspen, and Tanma wanted oak, that meant they wanted those bunk rows.
“So, Qwertyuiop123—I mean Kiihka---what are we going to do soon?” Asked Tanma
“Um, we’ll train, learn to fly better, mess around, and free time. We’ll also get to know everybody better.” Replied Kiihka
“Ok, so what do we do today?” Said Photok
“You two can get to know each other, and we’ll do a little training. Have fun! Oh, by the way, here is a 5-widget coupon for any of the stores. Widgets will be rewards for good competitors.”
“Soooooo, what is the first training stunt?” Asked Photok
“I will be in a stationary energy tank, and I will be shooting at you while you’re in the air.”
I think Photok and Tanma turned white. The idea of this crazy Matoran they have known for a day or two shooting at them was a bit much.
“Don’t worry, you two. It’s just a light-gun. It doesn’t REALLY fire!”
“THANK GOODNESS!!” Said Tanma and Photok at the same time.
“So when do you want to begin?”
“Sooner the better! Beatchya to the training arena, Photok!” Said Tanma, shooting away with his jetpack.
“Oh no you don’t!” replied Photok, who was right behind him.
Later, Kiihka got in the ‘Turbo Tazor light eliminator 15000’ (or the light tank), and told Tanma to stand in the middle of the arena.
“When the score-board counts to five, start flying FAST!” said Kiihka
“Ok---”
FIVEFOURTHREETWOONEGO!!!
“What the heck!?” Said Tanma as he launched off the ground
ZONCH! ZONCH! The ‘Turbo Tazor light eliminator 15000’ shot at him insanely! ZONCH---CRRACK!! A light beam actually hit Tanma, and a sensor made the CRRACK sound. ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
“Oh my gosh!” said Tanma after the game. The ‘Turbo Tazor light eliminator 15000’ had shot 20 shots. The results: ‘Turbo Tazor light eliminator 15000’ hit Tanma 17 times, and missed 3. Tanma had dodged 3 and got hit by 17.
“Gosh, my ear is ringing from all those cracks.” Said Tanma. I really doubt that Photok wanted to try it.
“Ready Photok?”
“Uhh… uhh yeah I guess.”
“When the score board—“
“Yeah, yeah, I know. Bring it on.”
FIVEFOURTHREETWOONEGO!!! (Right before it said ‘go’, Photok took off) FWOOGE!!
ZONCHZONCHZONCHZONCH!!! Not one of those shots hit Photok.
“Hey, I’m doing pretty good—“
KRA-ZONCH!! CRRAAACK!!
“I’m afraid you spoke to soon!” Yelled Tanma, not in a good mood
“Yeah sure. I’ve gotten hit once—“
ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
“I say it again, you spoke to soon!”
ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
“Stop! I surrender—“
ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
“STOP!!”
ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
Tanma was trying to muffle his laughter. He was cracking up.
ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK-- ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
“My ears! Turn off the ‘cracking’ part!”
ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
“WHAT THE HECK!! THIS IS WAY MORE THEN TANMA GOT!!”
ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
“Mercy! I surrender!”
ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
By this time, Photok could hardly hear his own voice the ringing in his ears was so loud.
ZONCH—CRRACK—ZONCH—CRACK—ZONCH---CRACK!!
“Ok, that’s all!” said Kiihka
“Wha?”
Kiihka made motions with his hands for Photok to come close. He put his mouth next to Photok’s ear and shouted:
“I’LL STOP!!”
“Wha?”
“I’LL STOP!”
Photok looked at him blankly.
“I’LL STOP!!!!”
“You’ll stop?”
“YES!!”
“Good! Now, where is my bunk?”
“We’re not done for today!”
“What?” Replied Photok, more-or-less deafly.
Kiihka pulled out a piece of paper and wrote ‘We’re not done for today’ on it.
“But… but… oh no…” said Photok
“We’re gonna kick it up a notch”
“Then PLEASE turn off the cracking!”
“Nope! That’s your punishment for getting hit.”
Photok turn even paler then before. Tanma burst out laughing at the sight.
“So, lets begin with…. Tanma!”
“Me? Ok…”
“Alright…. Ready?” Said Kiihka when they were ready.
“Yep!”
FIVE…………………………...FOUR………………………....THREE………....
“What on earth? Why is it so slow—“ but Photok was cut off by a deafening roar.
TWO-ONE-GO!!
“Ack!” said Tanma
ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONCH!!
The ‘Turbo Tazor light eliminator 15000’ was shooting a steady beam. Not single shots, but a continual blast of light.
“Catch me now!” said Tanma, shooting strait up.
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!
“Wha-!?”
The light beam had trailed him, giving off a deafening crack.
“NOW catch me!” Said Tanma, shooting off in many spirals and twists that he hoped wouldn’t catch him. After about a minute of that (Tanma was getting dizzy by now), Kiihka said he could come back to ground.
“Wow, you’re doing good. Now, since Photok the great didn’t do well last time, he will have to push harder this time.” Kiihka said. Photok looked like an Ice Toa he was so white. “Ready?”
“Well… erm… I guess” Photok replied.
“Alright… stand there and wait for the count down.”
FIVE…………………………...FOUR………………………....THREE………...
“Not again…” Photok said.
TWO…………………………………………ONE………………………………..
“Hey, what’s going on?”
…………………………………..GOZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!
“OH NO!” Photok said. ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!! The beam kept firing, the same way it did to Tanma.
“Stop! Seriously! Stop! This isn’t right!” Photok kept saying. In his mind, he was flying. In reality he was still on the ground.
“You might want to start flying!” Tanma said.
“I am flying—wait…”
Then Photok realized the truth. It was so loud that he forgot to start his jetpack!
“Oh great…” He said. The scoreboard was going crazy at this point. ‘124,324,456 shot, 124,324,456 hit’ is what it said. And it was going up. Needless to say, Photok wasn’t impressed.
After about a few minutes of this, Kiihka said he could come down (erm, motioned).
“Now you can go to your bunk!” He said. Then he remembered what sound each hit of the laser made. Photok didn’t even know that Kiihka was saying something to him.

BLEEP! BLEEP!
“Ah! A text message!” Kiihka said. It said: hi dude I wunt 2 sine up 4 ur camp thx Shadix (It meant “Hi dude. I want to sign up for your camp. Thanks! ~Shadix”). So Kiihka texted him back, saying: kk dude my email is kiihkasbinhere@hypermail.com tell me about urslf. Thx o and go to my site www.youngtoacamp.com 4 reg.
