It was quiet on the bridge of the gigantic Hellicarrier. Besides the soft rhythmic tap tap tap and quiet murmuring of the agents working at the various computers, the faint hum of the four massive engines that kept the Hellicarrier in the air filled the room.
Nicolas Fury preferred the silence. Though many knew him to always be ready for action, Fury enjoyed the peace between storms.
It also meant that he didn't have to deal with either Tony Stark or his superiors from the UN.
Fury sighed as he looked out the large glass windows that showed the slightly cloudy sky. Holding a mug of coffee in his left hand, the head of Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division (aka S.H.I.E.L.D) quietly surveyed the working agents below. The peace was nice.
"Sir!"
Of course, it never lasts.
Fury sighed, and turned to look at the agent who had come up behind him. "Yes Agent Hill?"
Agent Maria Hill stood at attention, a file held in her hands.
"You need to see this sir." The second in command stated. Fury could hear the faint urgency in her voice.
Fury gave a sharp nod, took a swig of his coffee, and followed the agent. Inwardly he sighed. The peace never lasts.
"Can anyone tell me why exactly we're here?"
No one answered the billionaire's question.
The Avengers had been called to the Hellicarrier for some reason. Tony, being the pain he is, decided to annoy everyone by asking the same question. For the eleventh time.
Steve sighed. Honestly, he too wondered why they had been called in by the S.H.I.E.L.D Director.
The Avengers sat in the meeting hall for a few more minutes, before the door at the end of the room slid open. Nick Fury walked in, followed closely by Maria. The head agent took a quick look around the room, mentally accounting that the whole team was here.
Giving a nod to Maria, an unspoken command. The S.I.C nodded back, before turning and leaving the room. Stopping at the front of the room, Fury opened his mouth to speak-
"Cut to the chase One Eye."
-and promptly frowned at the billionaire.
"Very well Stark." With all eyes on him, Fury 'cut to the chase'.
"I have recently received some new information on another group of heroes that live in and have been active in the United States. A group of seven heroes to be precise." Fury paused, letting the six assembled heroes digest the information. "They are very powerful, and have been in operation for the past six months."
Natasha spoke up from where she sat. "What do you mean by 'powerful'?"
Fury smirked slightly. "Why don't I show you."
Stepping back and to the side, Nick pulled out a disk from his jacket, and pushed it into a nearby slot. A screen lit up on the wall next to the door before static over took it.
"We managed to find a video of a recent battle of theirs against one of their more dangerous enemies."
The screen flickered, before clearing. It showed a half destroyed street, with a large four story gunmetal grey robot standing in the middle of it.
"Hahaha! Nothing can't stop me now!" A large screen on the robot's head showed the face of a fat man, with a bald head and goggles on his forehead.
The man laughed as the robot raised its right arm, revealing a large blaster. The blaster's barrel glowed red before a blast of red energy shot out, and caused a nearby building to collapse. People screamed and fled. The man continued to laugh, enjoying the destruction.
Then, a blot of… lighting(?!) struck it square in the chest.
The robot stopped moving, and the man's face twisted into a sneer. "Toa Terra!" He snarled.
"Your destruction ends here, Professor Nightshade!" A female voice called out over the din.
Seven figures stepped out of the smoke, armour gleaming as they stood in front of the four story robot.
Steve's eyes widened as his mouth dropped open in disbelief.
Tony froze, before spluttering nonsense about 'impossible!'.
Natasha remained impassive, but you could just make out the look of shock.
Clint swore under his breath.
Thor stared. What in the nine realms-?!
And Bruce joined Tony in spluttering.
The figures were not human. They were mechanical, yet one could make out grey-purple organic muscles and organs hidden beneath their armour. There were also circuits and wires as well. They were a perfect meld of biology and technology. On each of their chests, right over where their hearts would be, was a small light. Each of the lights pulsed in a strange tri-beat, unlike the natural double beat of a human. The bio-mechanicle creatures were surprisingly human in shape, and stood a whopping six-seven feet.
The lead bio-robot was female, with cerulean armour, decorated with a yellow lighting strike design. She (it?) had cloud grey under armour, with a golden-white mask on her right hip. Her face was covered in a cobalt blue mask. Two arctic blue and white eyes narrowed at the large silver robot that stood in the destroyed street.
To the right and behind the lead bio-robot was a crimson red female bio-robot with a fiery-orange fire shaped design on her armour. She had bronze coloured under armour and fiery red and orange eyes. Her face was covered in a scarlet red mask. She stood tense, ready to leap up and fight. A hand on her shoulder stopped her.
The owner of the hand was also a female, with sky blue armour. She had an ocean blue wave design on her armour, with stone coloured under armour. Her lilac and lavender eyes held determination beneath her cerulean mask.
On the lead bio-robot's left was an emerald colour female with a mint coloured wind design. Her under armour was fern green, and her red and white eyes flash with anger. She wore a shamrock green mask. She stood tense, but also light on her toes.
To the green bio-robot's left was a pearl coloured bio-robot with a snow-white snowflake that decorated her armour. Her under armour was silver grey, and her eyes were two different colours. Her left eye was blue and white, while her left eye looked like an optic, with a red and white colour. She stood slightly impassive, but her frame was also tense.
Behind the five females were two male bio-robots. The one on the left was onyx black, with a charcoal coloured earth design. His under armour was a very dark grey, almost black. His coal coloured mask made his emerald and white eyes stand out. His fists were clenched, and his face was twisted in a snarl.
The other male, and seventh bio-robot was a tawny brown colour, with a cedar coloured stone design. His under armour was tan coloured, and his mask was penny brown. His fiery orange and white eyes were narrowed in fury, his whole body tense.
A silence had filled the air, before loud cheering erupted from the gathered crowd.
"All right!"
"Go Toa!"
"The Professor's toast!"
"You rock!"
These were some of many of the cheers, but one cheer was louder than them all.
"Toa Terra!"
Soon, the entire crowd picked up the cheer.
"Toa Terra!"
"Toa Terra!"
"Toa Terra!"
Professor Nightshade snarled. "Enough!"
The robot's blaster swung around, glowing with more red energy. People screamed as the Professor fired, and another building crumbled. The lead bio-robot took action.
"Kuki! Pohaku! Get the civilians away from the surrounding area and to a safe distance! Take all injured to the paramedics!" She turned as the green bio-robot and the brown bio-robot took off at a fast speed.
"Honua! You and Kori do everything you can to keep the robot from moving!" The black bio-robot and the white bio-robot stepped forward. Both held out their hands as their masks glowed. The ground shook and cracked beneath the robot, and piles of earth and ice shot out of the ground. The large robot flailed, it's legs trapped.
"Kasai! Mizu! You're with me! We need to deactivate Nightshade's robot before it causes more damage!" With that, the lead bio-robot leaped forward, and flew into the air, her mask glowing. The red bio-robot and the blue bio-robot raced on the ground, and began to climb up the robot.
The lead bio-robot propelled the air around her, allowing her to maneuver and fly through the air. The gold-white mask on her hip glowed, and a ball of… light(?!) formed in her right hand.
With a yell, the lead bio-robot threw the ball of light forward. The ball smashed into the blaster, tearing through it. The blaster spluttered, and died. The Professor cursed, before swinging the robot's other arm. The lead bio-robot was swatted out of the air and crashed into a nearby building, before falling to the ground, surrounded by rubble.
There was a collective yell from the other bio-robots.
"Thundara!" The red bio-robot, Kasai, screamed, mask glowing. With a swing of her hands, she threw molten lava at the robot's left arm.
Nightshade yelled in anger as the robot's arm began to melt.
"Mizu!" Kasai called out to the blue bio-robot, "Help Thundara!"
"Right ta-gi!" Mizu yelled back, before sliding down the earth and ice that trapped the gunmetal grey robot. With a triple flip, she landed gracefully next to Thundara.
With gentle hands, Mizu flipped the bio-robot onto her back. Placing her hands together, she closed her eyes. Her mask glowed as a ball of water formed in her hands. She maneuvered the floating ball of water over Thundara's chest. The water touched her chest, before spreading to encompass her entire body. Mizu pushed her hands down, and the water sank into the ground, leaving the lead bio-robot dry, and the pavement damp.
Thundara groaned, and opened her blue and white eyes. Mizu smiled, and pulled the other female bio-robot up.
"Glad to see that you are okay, ara-gi." Mizu pulled Thundara into a hug. A hug which she gladly returned.
"Thank you, ga-gi." Thundara turned. "Come. We must help our dōhōs."
Mizu nodded. "Right!"
The fight drew on for another few minutes, each of them using unique elemental powers. All seven bio-robots were now fighting, the civilians safely out of the way.
Finally, Kasai created a blade out of fire, and cut a hole in the robot's chest. The green bio-robot, Kuki, flew inside the hole, mask glowing. The grey robot flailed about, before slumping. Kuki flew out of the hole, holding Nightshade by the collar of his shirt.
The bio-robots all stood in front of the robot, as Kuki dropped the chubby man on his bottom. Kori lifted a hand, and the professors legs were incased in ice. The Professor cursed, and smashed his fist on the ice, only to yell in pain. Kuki now stood next to the others, and together they faced the robot.
Thundara looked at the other bio-robots, before holding her right fist out in front of her.
"Unity!" She shouted.
The others echoed her cry, and they too held out their fists. Fists touching, a multi-coloured energy swirled around them, before concentrating on their outstretched fists.
With a yell, the multi-coloured energy shot out. It struck the robot dead centre in the hole. A glow grew on the robot, then…
BOOM!
A cheer rose as the four story robot exploded, so it never could be used again.
"Toa Terra! Toa Terra!"
The video cut out then, leaving a loud silence. Fury watched the assembled heroes for a few more moments, before clearing his throat. The entire team jumped, and all six pairs of eyes swivelled towards him.
"As you just saw, not only are they powerful, but they are also not human. After doing some research," Fury ejected the disk, then inserted a flash drive, "we have discovered that these 'Toa Terra' have a unique… origin."
The screen lit up again, before displaying one word.
Bionicle
Steve frowned, "Sir, what are 'Bionicle'?"
"WHAT?!" Six heads turned to stare at Tony, who was practically vibrating.
"Tony?" Bruce asked, "What do you-?"
"How can you not know about the Bionicle?!" He threw his hands into the air, "They were the most popular LEGO toy line to ever exist! Hell! There were movies, comics, and even fricken games made after the toys!"
"Language." Steve chastised. "I was trapped in ice for seventy years remember."
"Even so," Natasha spoke up, "what do toys have to do with these… heroes?"
Fury sighed, and the screen changed.
The screen showed similar beings, seven actually. Six males and one female. Tony's eyes widened.
"The Toa Nuva!" He pointed.
Clint butted in then. "Wait wait wait! There are more of them?!"
"Yes, and no." Fury said, before placing a folder on the table and sliding it forward. "Here is all the information we could find, on both the Toa Terra and the Bionicle."
Steve nodded. "Sir, what do you want us to do with this information?"
Fury smirked slightly, "I want you to find these Toa and figure out their true intentions. I also want you to find out if they are human or not, and if they are, their identities. If they are truly this good as we saw, then I want to invite them into the Initiative."
Steve nodded again. "We'll do our best sir!"
Fury nodded. "Good. Team, get ready to go to Ohio."
"NOOOOOO! This can't be happening!"
Emma sighed, before turning slightly to face the brown haired girl. "What is it this time Emily?"
Emily threw her hands up from where she was upside down on the couch. "I can't figure out this math problem!"
The blonde/brown haired girl pinched the bridge of her nose. "Did you make sure that you included all the decimals?"
Emily blinked, "…Oops…?"
The red head next to her chuckled. "Oh Emily!"
The brown haired girl scowled. "Not funny Alana."
"I thought it was funny!" A black haired girl who sat next to Emma chuckled.
Emma rolled her eyes. "Of course you would agree with your sister, Hannah."
Hannah laughed.
Emma smiled. The group was sitting on two of the three couches in their recreation room. It was nice to do their homework together and not worry about villains and crooks.
"So Emma?" Alana looked up at the blonde, "Where are the others?"
Emma chuckled. "Well, Rebecca's at violin practice, Jack is studying for his Calculus test, and Hank's at a football game. I believe that they are facing the Hanchester Ravens."
Alana hummed, turning her attention back to her Law and Order problems.
Emma smiled. Their group friendship was unique. A first glance at their personalities and interests, one would think that they could never think that they were best friends.
Emma McFord, she was the middle age actually, being born in early June. Even though she was their leader, age didn't matter for them. With her interest in astronomy and drawing, as well as reading, it was well known of her large imagination. Being sixteen, she had a gentle heart and a kind soul. But watch out! She had a temper worse than a nuclear bomb if you set her off! With arctic blue eyes and blonde/brown hair, caucasian, slim yet powerful six foot tall body, one would think of her as a cheerleader, not a nerd. And the fact that she constantly wore a cobalt blue baseball cap showed her uniqueness.
Alana Robinson was the second oldest, tied with her twin sister Hannah Robinson. The two were the exact opposite, right down to looks. Alana was caucasian, standing at five ten, with light brown eyes. She had curly red hair, and a lean figure. Hannah, on the other hand, was five six, with light brown skin, and brown, almost purple eyes. Her black, straight hair almost seemed blue in certain light. She was super skinny, like a twig, but she has quick reflexes. Both were born in early March. The only things that were similar was their gender, their sisterly love, and devotion to their friends. While Alana was set on becoming a police officer, Hannah wanted to be a nurse. Alana would leap head first into conflict, while Hannah would stop and think, trying to avoid it.
Emily Rogers was… hyper, to put mildly. She had more energy than the Sun! She was the youngest, born in mid December. Her crazy imagination rivalled only Emma's. With her mind set on being an athlete, she had constant trouble with math and science. Her light brown hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and her warm brown eyes sparkled with mischief. She was five nine, with a lean caucasian build. She was constantly bouncing or vibrating, unable to sit still, unless super tired!
Rebecca Elchin was… stoic. With light coloured skin, one brown eye and one blue eye, and almost white hair, the lean yet well muscled girl barely showed any emotion. Except to her close friends, or when Emily annoyed her enough. She stood at a good five ten. She was the second youngest, being born in late November. Her interest was in mechanics surprisingly, and dang was she good. She was a bookworm like Emma, only she read more into engineering while Emma read astronomy. She was also one heck of a violinist.
Jackson Durby, Jack to his friends, was into chemistry. Like Emma and Rebecca, he read everything that he could get his hands on about it. He was the third youngest of them, being born in early September. Standing at five eleven with dark brown hair, light brown eyes, and a lean caucasian build, he was the groups mediator. He always tried to stem conflicts, and often got in the middle of them trying to stop them.
Hank Malson was the groups brawn. He was a good six five, with thick muscles and tanned skin. His warm green eyes held kindness, like his heart of gold. His black hair was always messy, and was often teased for it. What he lacked in brains, he well made up for in strength. Emma and the others helped guide him with his passion in becoming an athlete like Emily. Though he was the oldest, having been born in late January, he left the leadership to Emma, seeing as she had been the one who brought the group together in the first place.
A soft snore and light chuckling drew Emma from her wandering thoughts. Looking up, the girl smiled fondly at the sight to her right. Curled up in the one person sofa, snoring gently, was the pearl white form of Turaga Nuju. The former Toa was in deep sleep, a peaceful smile on his face.
Emma's smile brightened at the sight of her oldest icy friend. The Turaga had been run ragged lately by the increase of criminal activity, but after the defeat of the Professor, things had winded down.
Right down to taking a nap.
Emma chuckled slightly at the thought. The time difference of their different worlds really affected his sleep schedule. With a full day on Spheres Magna being thirty-six hours compared to their twenty-four hour days, it was quite a shock to the Turaga. Even though the Matoran and other Bionicle slept whenever, poor Nuju had to get used to sleeping in a regular pattern.
So far, he slept in and stayed up late. But, he was getting better.
The girls quieted down, giving the ice Turaga a chance to sleep. The poor guy needed it.
Emma sighed, and went back to her algebra equations. Almost a minute later, a text went off on her iPhone.
Looking down, blue eyes read the text.
Jack- R u girls ready 4 the concert?
Emma- Just finishing HW now. B down in 1 hr.
Jack- Gr8! Me and Hank will c u at the auditorium!
Emma- What bout Bec?
Jack- Already called her. C u soon.
Emma- Thx.
Emma looked up, and poked Emily, waking the girl up. "Wha…?"
"C'mon. I got a text from Jack." The twins looked up. "We got the concert in an hour. Jack already called Rebecca, and said that he and Hank would be waiting for us."
The girls nodded, and began to pack up. Backpacks secured, the girls left their base in the hills. Emma, being the kind girl that she is, left a note for the Turaga.
On his nose.
Steve sighed as he stood in front of a large school. He and the rest of the Avengers, excluding Thor, were investigating the city where the Toa had first appeared.
He, like the others, had had zero luck on where the Terra were. It hadn't been until Steve had spotted a poster about a battle of the bands. One of the bands being called 'The Elementals'.
So, deciding to try this lead, lead Steve to Matara Secondary High School. The battle was open to the public, so the team could easily walk in. It was six-thirty now, and the battle started at seven.
"Steve!" Turning, the disguised Captain watched as the other three members of his team walked up. He frowned. They were a member short. "Where's Tony?"
Natasha snorted softly. "He's following his own lead."
Clint laughed. "Yah! A female lead!"
Steve sighed, shaking his head slightly.
"Come on, we need to go in." With that, he turned and headed towards the school doors. People where already lined up to head in.
"Cap," Clint whispered, "are you sure that this band could be those Toa?"
"Truthfully," Steve sighed, "no. But this is the best lead that we have."
And with that, they entered the school.
How was it? Good? Bad?
Yeah, so first Bionicle/Avengers story. First Bionicle and Avengers story I wrote.
Next chapter- Battle of the Bands!
I hope that this chapter posts right! Stupid slagging glitchy phone…!
