With My Mind
A Short Story by Rapi, Toa of Elements

In a violent world, a Matoran ran for cover in a disused bunker, he then spotted a Turaga nearby, in this world Where deception's free he was Glad to see a friendly face. He ran up and began talking to him. "Things I can't control ......Taking over me... "He then grabbed the Turaga and knocked him down, "Did they try to take ....My identity?". He then ripped apart the Turaga, and threw himself against a Wall. "So what the heck.... Have they done to me!" he shouted as his hand Glowed.

The Matoran jumped out of the bunker and faced his Attackers head on. "I will take your thoughts away..." He said while one Warrior's head Exploded, "And I'll ignite your fear today..." as another burst into flame."Well I can take you far away...With my mind..." when Two Warriors was thrown into each other and away, "With my mind..." as he saw what damage he had done before running off down an alleyway.

"This life for me....Changes everyday..." He thought as he came up a Patrol of Warriors, he then Stood. "I will stand up tall, I won't be betrayed" as a Warrior fired a blast of flame at him, "If you play with fire, I'll control the flame" as he Re-Routed the flame back at the Warrior, burning him. "I'll do anything..." as a Huge Cart began levitating over the Patrol "To make you believe!" as it Crushed them.

He was then met head on by a vast army, they flanked him from the front, sides and behind, they goaded him to surrender and come back to the Research Facility to contain his Immense Psi-Powers he had been born with, the Army had been called to halt his Rampage. He then closed his eyes and put his hands up; the army began walking towards him when his eyes opened once more with pure determination.

"I will take your thoughts away" as many of the Warriors turned around and began fighting their Comrades, "And I'll ignite your fear today" as Most Set Alight, "Well I can take you far away" as the Warriors were blown to each side as the Matoran ran through saying "With my mind...With my mind...". As he ran down another alleyway and into Le-Metru.

He then met another army of Warriors, who then began to charge at him. "I will take your thoughts away..." as the Front line fell down dead, "And I'll ignite your fear today..." as the Dead bodies was set alight stopping the others from getting to him."Well I can take you far away...With my mind..." as the Bodies was pushed forwards into the Warriors, "With my mind..." as the Le- Warriors laid dead and Burnt as the Matoran set off into the Capital.

He was then met with all the Warriors from Le-Metru, the Last remnants from Ta-Metru, and some from Ko-Metru. They told him to give up or they would kill him, he then began walking as the Warriors opened fire upon him. "I'll take all your thoughts away..." as Warriors began Committing suicide, "And I'll ignite your fear today..." as Most set alight and burned to death, "Well  I can take you far away..." as All the Warriors Stood still "With my mind!!!!" as they Began to vibrate until they all exploded, the Matoran stood still and closed his eyes "With my mind..." as a Tear fell down from his eye to the ground, as he sat down and laid back.

The Lyrics to the Song:

In a violent world 
Where deception's free 
Things I can't control 
Taking over me 
Did they try to take 
My identity 
So what the heck 
Have they done to me! 

I will take your thoughts away 
And I'll ignite your fear today 
Well I can take you far away 
With my mind [2x] 

This life for me 
Changes everyday 
I will stand up tall 
I won't be betrayed 
If you play with fire 
I'll control the flame 
I'll do anything 
To make you believe! 

I will take your thoughts away 
And I'll ignite your fear today 
Well I can take you far away 
With my mind [2x] 

I will take your thoughts away 
And I'll ignite your fear today 
Well I can take you far away 
With my mind [2x] 

I'll take all your thoughts away 
And I'll ignite your fear today 
Well I can take you far away 
With my mind [2x]
