Mata Kids AU

The Elemental Creatures

I've stated a LOT of times that the Elemental Creatures were my favorite of G2 Bionicle if not the only good thing of it

So like with my other AU's with the Toa I wanted to put them into my Mata Kids AU! (While also tweaking them to fit a bit with G1 Bionicle)

All together Gathered Information

The Elemental Creatures were created by the Great Beings in hopes to understand the elements more through living beings

Unfortunately for them though, they proved to be quite difficult to control compared to the Elemental Lords

Which proved later to be quite a surprise when Mata Nui was able to control them so easily(they did wonder if it was his Great Spirit role or the Ignika but weren't sure) alongside more confusion how connected to the Toa Mata/Nuva and Takanuva the Elemental Creatures were

So they let Mata Nui and the Mata/Nuva keep them in hopes they could understand the elements better through the Elemental Lords

After the Brotherhood setting Mata Nui into his coma, the Toa and Takua setting off in their pods, the Elemental Creatures were turned to stone statues which upon the islands creation were placed on Kini Nui and would later be revived by the Nuva and Takua after the Nuva would regain their Toa powers against the Borhak Kai

During the Brotherhoods attack, the Elemental Creatures did most of the fight to hold them off as Mata Nui got the Toa to the pods, though were defeated leaving Mata Nui to fight to fight the Brotherhood

What weaknesses they have the Elemental Creatures make up for in Loyalty, their loyalty is their highest strength and many consider it the highest honor even more than becoming a Toa

Their Loyalty only consisted in the beginning was with Mata Nui himself, the Toa Mata/Nuva and Takua/Takanuva, though close enough friends would be considered in the loyalty (Ie. The Turaga Metru, The Toa Mahri (when they're still Matoran(after Toa they still have that loyalty they just first gain it as Matoran)), the Chronicler's Company and even the Glatorian and Berix)

The Elemental Creatures are able to speak but through Telepathy, their loyalty goes into this as they can open and close who can hear through the telepathy so if they aren't loyal to you you'd just hear normal Rahi speak

Their intelligence was similar to Matoran, but the Terak had the highest intelligence of the seven

The Elemental Creatures are able to fuse with the Toa but it does drain both the Elemental Creatures and the Toa's energy than normal due to two beings holding together as one being drained

This wouldn't be a problem if they were around their raw element but outside of that with Takanuva's element not allowing that energy gain from his raw element it's basically a last resort type move they'd make

After the events of Journey's End the Elemental Creatures made Click an honorary member, thus due to the Ignika blessings on him

Akida, Creature of Water

The Akida was quite playful of the Elemental Creatures, though it was theorized this was because it was based on a dolphin of looks and they were known to be quite playful

Despite being a living entity of the element water, the Akida wasn't that strong by its elemental powers by themselves

This proved to be a great balance with Gali as she was the opposite

The Akida spent most of its time pre Gali's creation around or in the water

After Gali's creation it would not leave her side, thus helping the two bond

The Akida is one of three Elemental Creatures super close to their Toa, the other being the Uxar and the Ketar

Terak, Creature of Earth

The Terak was quite loud at times but that was due to occasionally using Echo Location to move around

The Terak had horrible eyesight, almost complete blindness, and due to that most of the time in the past it would use Echo Location to maneuver around

Though due to the other Elemental Creatures not liking the noise it learned another way through its elemental powers by seeing the ground through its paws (like the Blind Badger Moles and Toph Bifong from ATLA)

It proved to be even better especially in combat than the Echo Location and it preferred to use it instead of the echo location, but it does use Echo Location in places where it can't see through the earth

The Terak despite its blindness was also the most knowledgeable, often listening more to stories and even able to read like it was a Matoran and rumored to have more knowledge secrets than the Onu-Metru archives

Ikir, Creature of Fire

The Ikir was proven to be quite free spirited, though it was hard to tell if this was because it was based around the Phoenix or something else

It's loyalty was considered very respected due to this

Though with that it's loyalty to Tahu was the most confusing due to the Fire Toa's temper, but past that people believe it could see his true nature past that temper and saw something worth its loyalty

Similar to Tahu, the Ikir was very protective and more willing to fight than talk

The Ikir before the Brotherhood and after it's revival would always be close to Tahu though when not it would be perched on places with the best view of either the entirety of Ta-Koro or the vast view ot Ta-Wahi

It was more prone to go on adventures and would always join whatever adventure Tahu would go on, even if the Fire Toa didn't want it to

Melum, Creature of Ice

The Melum was the most solitary of the Elemental Creatures though it was questionable if it was due to the ice element or it just hated people

It's loyalty was considered a high honor like with the Ikir due to this solidarity nature

Pre Brotherhood attack it was the most loyal to Kopaka, even more so than it's loyalty to Mata Nui

Pre Revival it was still quite loyal to Kopaka but also similar loyalty to Kopeke and Matoro

It would often stay by Kopaka's side when the ice Toa would make his tracks through Mht. Ihu

The Melum would also lay in Kopaka's lap resting a lot as the ice Toa would read

The Melum liked to sleep quite a lot thus giving it more energy in fights

The Melum was actually super confused when the Toa Mahri returned without Matoro and was sad for months over when it realized his sacrifice

The Melum stuck by both Kopaka's side and also Turaga Nuju's sides to help with their grief over his sacrifice knowing how the Turaga of Ice was grieving over someone he saw as family if not a son

Agil, Creature of Light

The Agil was the most excited creation the Great Beings were of in their lack of desprite knowledge regarding the element of Light

So when it wasn't loyal to them it was quite a letdown

The Agil's personality was quite all over the place but it was mainly playful and curious

When the Revival happened, the other Elemental Creatures refused the revival until Takua (who was sent with the Nuva to chronicle their adventure) touched its stature and stuck to his side like Pewku would

Thus gave the Turaga Metru more thoughts on the relations of the Toa and Takua as well especially when they heard that Takua was the one who used the Toa stones to bring the Toa to the island and it worked with him

During the Matoran era of Takua, the Agil was more of a bodyguard to Takua realizing his amnesia so it would defend him from any wild Rahi that tried to attack

Alongside that during Takua's travels it would also find food the most realizing Takua had a bad habit of forgetting to refill his energy

The Agil got along quite well with Pewku and made sure the Ussle Crab made it to Metru Nui and even to Spherus Magna same with Jaller's crab

The Agil had a high loyalty with Jaller seeing the captain of the guard kept Takua alive during its absence and from being lonely

It also held loyalty to Halhi and the Chronicler's Company due to their friendship with Takua, showing proof of the main of their loyalty had trusted them then so did the Elemental Creature

The Matoran actually thought the Agil was more close to Mata Nui due to the light element tied with the Great Spirit, it was proven otherwise when Takua reawoken as Takanuva the Herald/Toa of Light

Ketar, Creature of Stone

The Ketar was proven to be one of three clingy Elemental Creatures but was also quite curious

It didn't have a good bond with Pohatu at first, this was due to Pohatu not liking scorpions that much but he soon grew close to it

It's curiosity made it the most clumsy

But it's clumsiness was made up for in its speed which almost rivaled the Kanoi Kakama

The Ketar liked to watch the Po-Matoran and even the Toa play Kohli

Alongside its speed, the Ketar has a high sense of smell

So if it was revived during the time of the infected comets, it would've immediately smelt the infection from them and reacted negatively and warned Pohatu and Turaga Onewa

The Ketar actually dislikes Turaga Onewa due to sensing his nature of his personality as a Toa, aka being an asshole

So Turaga Onewa is quite salty about this at first but realizes it might be better off that way, he can't change the creature's opinion so he might as well not linger on it

Uxar, Creature of Jungle

The Uxar was the most clingy of the Elemental Creatures even more clingy than the Ketar to their Toa

She was always at Lewa's side and would nurture her similar of a mother Rahi would do with their young

Due to this maternal nature the Uxar is the only one with a confirmed gender

It was originally supposed to be two elements into one creature, air as well, but unfortunately the air was weak in the creation but it gave the Uxar it's wings and great speed of its wings

The Uxar is never not at Lewa's side and if tried to be pried off of the Toa she will attack even a Matoran like a mother Rahi

It would also curl its body around Lewa's head while he sleeps to protect him

The Uxar had the ability to peer into people's minds, so you could imagine its panic when it saw the memory of Lewa being controlled by the Borhak

Lewa finally confided into it alongside the Shadow Toa incident which led the said Toa to be in hysteria sobs as the Uxar soothed him

The Uxar is also well into music as Lewa was and would watch Lewa play with his Le-Matoran of music, summoning small gusts of wind with its wings to play chimes and flutes

After the events of Journey's End the Uxar noticed Lewa was missing the tall trees of Le-Wahi so it grew a large patch of towering tree near New Altera so Lewa and her could swing and race through the trees, the place is literally dubbed "Lewa's Sanctuary" so no one would ruin the trees and face an angry motherly Uxar

Holy crap that was a LOT

And I did this while I was in town and finished it when I got home

Holy fuck-

“Beachwalk” for One Piece of a Summer hosted by @doctorgerth and @thenotsofantasticlifestory . 

Saka taking his “pets”, Orthrus and Garm, for little walk. Has been a while since I did something a little more complex.

Also: Logia HC incoming. Experienced Logias with Awakened Fruits can conjure semi - sentient Creatures, that share their personality and can accomplish simple tasks . Kuzan for another example has his pheasant, tat he uses as sentinel or courier sometimes.

Umarak the Hunter

Legend tells of a dark figure who prowls the wilds of Okoto alone. This dreaded figure of myth and legend has been seen chasing the very elements themselves, combatting them, only to just as quickly flee after snatching a fragment of the elements. And each time he returns to fight, to hunt, he always stays longer, and leaves with more in tow.

Umarak the Hunter is a feared deity of Okotan legend and myth, and like many of these supposed fables his existence is very real and very tangible. For centuries he’s hunted and pursued the six primordial Elemental Deities, slowly draining portions of their energy bit by bit through countless guerilla attacks and ambushes, all with the purpose of spreading his darkness throughout Okoto and beyond.

In the time before time, there existed shadow, a state that all six elements when combined could default into. It was a pure essence, relevant and existing as far back as the void, with connections and strength towards it. And from this mass of encompassing darkness, was birthed a thought and instinct to spread, and from that desire came a mind and name; Umarak.

Umarak, Deity of Shadow, sought to spread his darkness across Okoto and consume all with it. He besieged the island in its earliest youth as a mostly rocky, barren land with a few cities or ruins here or there. In opposition, the six Elemental Deities rose up to fight him; Ikir, Ketar, Akida, Uxar, Terak, and Melum. The battle was fierce and raged across Okoto, ravaging the island, but still Umarak could not be defeated.

With no other choice, and the island already ravaged, the Elemental Deities combined their strengths. With their pooled power, they created new land, a new island, and hurled it over Umarak, burying his entire essence beneath a newly-forged Okoto that laid atop the old one. Trapped beneath the weight of this new world, the darkness struggled and heaved, occasionally causing earthquakes, but in response the Elemental Deities merely added to this new island, stacking more foundations upon it until Umarak’s thrashing ceased, or at the very least escaped notice. Every now and then he’d summon forth a huge burst of energy to rattle the lands, and the people of Okoto would know these earthquakes as the struggles of The Darkness Below.

As a new generation of Okotans colonized the new surface, Umarak wasted away in the ruins of the old island below. Still, he refused to give up, and he was clever- So he changed tactics. Instead of trying to burst through the entire island at once, he decided to instead carefully, precisely, pinpoint and concentrate his darkness into one area. This threaded shadow would needle its way carefully, painstakingly, through the foundations and crust above, drilling through the earth and stone until it finally pierced the surface, allowing an opening for Umarak to unleash his shadows through.

It was a gradual, painstaking process. The results were imperfect- The farther his shadow strayed from his main essence, the weaker it got, until only a tiny pinprick of his power seeped into the deeply-grown roots of an ancient tree, infecting it with darkness. This tree continued to feed on Umarak’s shadow, becoming a physical, yet separate, vessel for his mind and power to operate through.

One day, a relentless, merciless hunter shot his quarry, a deer, through with an enchanted arrow. This arrow pierced through the deer and pinned itself into the cursed tree that Umarak had infected, pooling its energies into the vessel. Using the power of the arrow’s enchantment, Umarak forged his wooden vessel into a humanoid form, capable of independent movement, and became Umarak the Hunter.

Umarak broke his feet free from its roots, severing himself from his shadow. While he still maintained an inherent connection to The Darkness Below, he could only reliably maintain and function with his power from within this vessel, which sustained him with its magic. Otherwise, any darkness that attempted to breach the surface from below would become too negligible to make a difference.

Umarak slayed the hunter who had given him form, critical of their mindless killing, and as a gesture of kindness gave life back to that deer before it could die. Donning the hunter’s tools and absorbing his knowledge and skills, Umarak formulated a new, clever plan to free himself and defeat the Elemental Deities, his enemies, once and for all.

His current form, while powerful, was still no match for even one of the Elemental Deities. But Umarak realized that by utilizing clever ambushes, escapes, and guerilla tactics, he could slowly yet surely wittle down the Elemental Deities’ power by stealing it. Creating constructs of metal and shadow with the power of void named Shadow Traps, Umarak used his pack of fanged, mawed hounds to relentlessly chase the Elemental Deities. He would strike quickly, suddenly, and with his Shadow Traps drain permanently just the tiniest portion of the Elemental Deities’ life force. That life force in turn would be contained within a Shadow Trap, which amongst others containing elemental energy would be stored in a hidden cache from any deity’s eyes.

Umarak would repeat this process, over and over, again and again, gradually chipping off pieces of the Elemental Deities’ power. At first the six merely regarded him as an annoyance, but Umarak’s perseverance began to pay off. The change and loss was gradual enough that by the time the Deities realized they were getting weaker, Umarak in turn was getting stronger. He became more accustomed to his form, learned how to better strategize and use tools, and figured out how the Elemental Deities thought and operated. He predicted their every move, hunting and chasing them at every opportunity, never once relenting unless to hide for the timebeing.

When the Great Cataclysm occurred, the Elemental Deities were left dazed enough for Umarak to seize large portions of their power. Even more weakened, the Elemental Deities attempted to fight back, but found Umarak’s trickery, swiftness, and shadow-travel to make him an impossible opponent to strike. Inevitably, despite any pride, they began to fear every encounter with Umarak, knowing they’d lose another part of themselves to him, and began to run.

And so the chase, the hunt, began. Over the centuries, Umarak continued whittling away at the Elemental Deities’ souls, and with the Great Cataclysm having placed all other Deities in a coma, the Elemental Entities had no allies to turn to for protection. All the while, Umarak’s cache of Shadow Traps continued to gestate with the elemental energy they’d absorbed, digesting and formulating it into crystalline bodies of pure elemental energy.

Umarak’s plan from there was simple- He’d drain the Elemental Deities until they were either eradicated or too weak to fight back. With their stolen power, he’d reforge the energy he’d seized into a horde of Elemental Beasts, who in turn would use the same energy that built his island prison to destroy it. The Elemental Beasts would lay waste to Okoto, razing it, tearing away at the foundations until nothing was left but barren rock, and then even less. And with his earthen prison shaved away, The Darkness Below could finally burst free and Umarak could reunite his full power, freed, with no one to stop him from spreading his shadows.

Umarak’s hunt continued successfully in the passing centuries, until the Elemental Deities became the most minor echoes of their former power, barely shadows of their old selves. However, they too managed to learn from Umarak’s tactics, and though they gre weaker over time, they also became harder for him to track down and pin down. All the while, the Elemental Deities searched for Umarak’s hidden cache of their lost power, hoping to one day reclaim it, even as they devised ways to destroy Umarak’s vessel on Okoto.

When Skull Spiders besieged Okoto’s inhabitants, neither Umarak nor the Elemental Deities paid any mind to the incident. They knew full and well the nature of the swarm from a glance and considered it inconsequential. Makuta, in turn, attempted to make an ally of either Umarak or the Elemental Deities, but both saw him as providing no help or not being trustworthy, and ignored him.

This would change following the Arrival of the Toa, and the commencement of the Okotan-Brotherhood wars. As Ekimu the Mask Maker returned and began changing Okoto back to its old ways of its Creation Era, the Brotherhood in turn began experimenting in new venues of Life energy. And as the conflict increased, inevitably, Umarak and the Elemental Deities were noticed and caught in the crossfire.

Both sides desperately needed an ally, an advantage over the other, and while the Okotans were certainly wary of Umarak, no side could afford to be choosers. With the introduction of his Energy Leeches, organic creatures that could drain and store Life energy, Makuta finally won over Umarak’s alliance. In exchange for supplying him with armies and Energy Leeches to better track down and drain the Elemental Deities, Umarak would, from time to time, provide assistance in various Brotherhood operations. With his experience and ancient power of shadow, Umarak proved to be a terrifying challenge to even all six Toa united.

As the war unraveled, it soon came to light that Makuta had another reason for desiring Umarak’s alliance- He himself was after the Elemental Deities as well, in this case for their knowledge of the Mask of Control. Makuta knew that after the Great Cataclysm had caused the Mask of Control to disappear, the Elemental Deities stumbled across the ancient, powerful artifact, and had hidden it away themselves. Makuta needed the Mask of Control to unite the scattered fragments of his soul, and with his alliance with Umarak, the Hunter would not only absorb the Elemental Deities entirely but also their knowledge.

Eventually, Umarak managed to decipher the location of the Mask of Control by hijacking Ketar’s mind, tracking it down the Labyrinth of Deception, also known in ancient names as the Skrall. With a team of Brotherhood forces, Umarak descended into the Labyrinth of Deception and succeeded in acquiring the Mask of Control. However, upon reporting back to Makuta, the Mask Hoarder made his intentions to turn Umarak into a pawn quite clear.

Betrayed, Umarak in turn rejected Makuta’s claims and donned the Mask of Control, only to be possessed by the mask’s power and a portion of Makuta’s soul that had been trapped inside since the Great Cataclysm. The Mask of Control’s ancient powers rendered Umarak a slave to Makuta’s mind, who in turn inhabited Umarak’s body and mutated its vessel into a hulking, beastial caricature of itself. Now armed with both the powers of shadow, as well as those of Makuta and the Mask of Control, Umarak the Destroyer departed to raze Okoto. He awakened the Elemental Beasts, unleashing them upon the island to tear apart the foundations with help from the Brotherhood of Makuta’s forces. As the island’s surface was torn apart, The Darkness Below began to thrash and awaken, even bursting through portions of the surface, tendrils of itself emerging and lashing about.

At the same time, Umarak gathered at the summit of the Elemental Beast cache and began using the Mask of Control to draw and gather the scattered fragments of Makuta’s soul, eventually uniting them into his body and granting the Mask Hoarder a proper, physical form for the first time in centuries.

With his sudden increase in strength, Umarak the Destroyer easily fought off the Toa, who had combined with Elemental Deities into Kaita fusions. However, the tides would be turned when Ekimu the Mask Maker would arrive, having fused the energies of the damaged Mask of Creation with his own soul to become a Toa of Creation. More powerful than ever, Ekimu’s support melded with the Toa Kaitas’, and Ekimu was able to use his Hammer of Power to tear the Mask of Control from Umarak’s face. Freed of Makuta’s possession, Umarak painfully reverted his vessel back to its original form, even as Ekimu donned the Mask of Control, using the power it had spread through the Elemental Beasts to shatter them.

All at once, the lost energy of the Elemental Deities returned to them, gathering into a single spot as they reformed back to their true power. The weakened Umarak, in turn, could only help but gaze upwards in despair as the fully-empowered Elemental Deities visited centuries of retribution upon him, crashing down and burning his form with pure energy. Umarak’s vessel dissipated, his essence severed from The Darkness Below as it retreated and crystallized into a drained Mask of Shadows. The Darkness Below ceased its thrashing as it sank back beneath Okoto, which was in turn repaired of its damages by the Elemental Deities.

Following the attempted Razing of Okoto, Umarak’s dormant spirit, trapped in the Mask of Shadows, was transported to a maximum-security Okotan prison vault and contained. It has since been carefully monitored and guarded by Ekimu’s most advanced technology and automatons, ensuring Umarak cannot recover and begin his hunt anew against the Elemental Deities. And with his mind trapped in his vessel on the surface of Okoto, The Darkness Below has reverted back to a mindless, festering state beneath the island’s foundations.
