User blog:Kehuri/Guardians of the Red Star Chapter 9- splitting roads

Kehuri was now in the middle of the ocean, heading for the northern continent in order to find a boat. To him it seemed like ages to make it there, but thanks to his mask, to everyone else, including the sun, he looked like a speeding orange bullet.

Tekaro had spotted his target- Kanohi Zatth he teleported to its wearer, "toa Kongu!" The toa of air spun around, "What?" Tekaro landed in front of him, finishing the teleportation that the, now silver, Kualsi created, "I need your Kanohi! Mata-nui's life depends on it!" Kongu looked him up and down, "What in Mata-nui are you? A wind-flying toa?" Tekaro explained quickly, "I am a new kind of toa, a toa of Protodermis, created by the Red Star. Once again, I request your mask." Kongu tapped his foot, "Can you prove what you say is true-right?" Tekaro held out his hand, creating a small orb of red lightning. Kongu recognized the lightning and his eyes widened, "Then we are same-hearted, take my mask, wind-flyer!" Tekaro took the mask, and placed a Suletu in his hands, "I know you liked reading other's think-talk." he winked and took off.

Kehuri landed on the northern continent, exhausted and panting, he glanced around, then made for the nearest town. He found a Vortixx boat salesman, "Excuse me, I'd like to charter a ride to the Southern Continent." The Vortixx held out a hand, "I don't work for free." Kehuri shrugged, "Can I work on the ship instead? I don't really carry money." The Vortixx snorted, "Get lost." Kehuri sighed, "Well, can you at least tell me where to find a boater that works with my sort of person?" The Vortixx pointed toward a large boathouse, "In there."

Inside was a Ga-matoran, sitting behind a desk, with another in the back, polishing and waxing a boat. The presence of a toa made them uneasy, "A toa? Here?" The matoran behind the desk started fidgeting, "What can we do to help you, noble hero?" Kehuri decided to act reassuring, an intimidated matoran didn't usually put him int he best of moods, "Relax, I just want a ride to the mainland, and a bit of work. I'm short on money." The matoran sighed, "Then we can finally sail. If we have a toa to protect us, then we can finally get past all those nasty rahi on the way down." Kehuri held out a claw, "Then we have a deal."
