The trip from Mata Nui to Metru Nui was delayed by two weeks when Vhisola heard that Nokama was a werewolf for a bit and promptly vibrated through the floor, necessitating an Onu-Matoran dig team go down to recover her from the impenetrable Protodermis layer.
In a statement to Hahli the Chronicler, the rescued Vhisola only said "I MISSED IT!?"
If you're still up for requests may I please suggest Vhisola/Gavla being the most incredibly normal about each other (hope you feel better Random mwah)
The Ga-Matoran scampered through the openings in the rock, struggling to regain her footing for a moment. Her head darted left and right frantically, in a desperate search of her objective that seemed to have vanished into thin air; she eyed the steep walls with a certain creeping terror, realizing how small the space she'd crammed herself into was only then. A lance of light, thin and barely enough to shed light into the alcove, struggled through the only exit behind her: dust particles danced lazily inside its feeble ray with the sort of out of place tranquillity that made her predicament all the more disquieting.
Then darkness overcame her, and she found her back slammed harshly against the rough stone.
Claws pinned her to the ground, pressing on her arms almost hard enough to snap the protodermis bones. Right above her, where the ceiling should have been, shimmered darkly crimson stars.
"Found you," Gavla hissed.
She felt the little body beneath her be wrecked by a shiver.
"Don't play coy now, little thing," she continued, shifting her weight forward to better crush the other's limbs underneath her and prevent her escape. She tilted her head in a slow, poised manner, mimicking one of Vamprah's more elegant mannerisms: "I know you've been watching me. Following me. You're nowhere near as subtle as you think you are."
Her prey's feet scraped against the gorund as she whined, guilty as charged and as powerless against the accusations as she was defenseless in her grip.
The mutated Av-Matoran lowered herself until their masks almost grazed each other, watching closely as the other did her best to put some distance between them but only found herself stuck between the deformed body and the cold hard ground.
Fear shimmered enticingly within the Komau's sockets.
"I know what you think of me - of this," she growled, wings arching as if to gesture at her unusual frame. "I know you find me revolting, abnormal, unnatural... And it piques your interest."
She huffed in bitter amusement when the Ga-Matoran attempted to avert her eyes.
Tsk.
Coward.
With a harsh flinch Gavla doubled the pressure onto the smaller limbs, tearing a yelp from them as she settled heavily on the other's stomach with all her weight to knock the wind out of her.
"I'm not some freak experiment for you to gawk and laugh at when you think I'm not there to hear it - and I assure you, I am always there," she snarled right in her audio receptor. "So listen carefully, and mark my words: the next time I find you spying on me, near or far that you may be, I will sneak into your home while you sleep and rip your throat out with my teeth so quickly that you won't even have the time to scream."
"Wrow," the Ga-Matoran peeped, flustered.
Both froze.
Clearly.
That was not meant to be vocalized.
After what felt like five hundred thousand years, with heartlights flashing wildly and dark blue masks now turning almost hot white from sheer embarrassment, Gavla coughed to the side and clumsily peeled herself off of the other Matoran, who was far too deep in the throes of mortification to bother even just attempting to scuttle away or move in any manner.
"So," the mutated female babbled, stumbling back into the exit of her hideaway on unsteady legs, "If you- just- I, I think I've made myself, uh, clear. Remem- remember what I said. About... Yes."
Her prey gave a high pitched hum in confirmation, and she made her less than graceful exit in a hurry.
-
"Forgive me if it comes out of nowhere, but has Vhisola been asking you about... Bats?"
"Hm? Vhisol- oh, yes, actually, she did come to me about them! She was rather interested in learning about their teeth, and also the caretaking of their wings specifically - which reminds me, by the way, did you know that the Bara Magnan sand bat is not actually a bat? They call it like that solely because of the shape of the wings! It doesn't have any relation to proper bats at all! Apparently it's because they are 'mammals', which means that they-"
Nokama very gently stopped her fellow Turaga by wrapping her hands around his own.
"Please don't encourage her." she said, tone exhausted.
Whenua blinked, looking back and forth between her Rau and the grip she had on his fingers. Softly, he dared ask: "Is there something I should be worried about...?"
His sister sighed deeply: "She has another shrine."
"... About bats?" he tried.
Nokama pivoted him to look at a colorful group of Matoran just a few bio away. The only blue armored being in the ensemble sported a pair of spindly, bony wings and was keeping the others away from herself by snapping aggressively and threatening them with her claws.
Hello all once again!
Reading Bionicle fics again (well rereading), I've been inspired to draw the ga-matoran included in the most recent chapters - Kotu (she/her), Vhisola (she/her), Nixie (he/him). (The fic in question btw: Necessity is the Mother of Invention, it's actually based off of my humanized designs, the author is awesome and I feel flattered, thank you so much dude ;v;)
Some of my designs have kind of changed since the the upload of the later chapters, I took a BIG break from drawing in general. But I enjoyed doodling these characters again and rereading the fic. Go and read it guys, it's a good read and it's honestly nice to see the matoran addressing the Turaga's secretive-ness about their origin. (Also Onepu/Nuparu being cute together I LOVE IT)
Okay, I'll leave you with that, enjoy these designs~
p.s. also yeah Vhisola dyed her hair black back in Metru Nui, but she's growing it out, lol.
Mazeka, Nuju and Ehrye. I know Mazeka never was on Mata Nui. The idea is that The Order send him to secretly check on the Metru Nui Matoran on Mata Nui. He was spotted when he got grabbed by Nui-Rama. He kills it, and falls straight into Ko-Koro.
