What's a Kopaka?

Description

Silvua stood staring at the unfamiliar Toa of ice before him. When he first chanced to bump into the Akaku-clad Toa, he for an instant thought it was Narr. That idea was shattered a split second later when he remembered that the Toa of fire wore a black Akaku, and this Toa before him wore a white one.
"Wh-who are you?" He stammered, reaching for his shield and halberd.
"I might ask the same of you." The Toa said, eyeing Silvua warily. "What is this place? This does not look like anywhere on Okoto."
"What? Okoto? Is... is that where you're from?" Silvua asked.
"Yes. What is this place?" The Toa asked.
"Well, um... our island doesn't exactly have a name..." Silvua said.
"An island? Hmm..." The stranger mused quietly. "I must've fallen further than I thought..." He said, quietly and to himself.
"Fallen? Fallen where?" Silvua asked.
The Toa looked up, giving him a withering look. "I didn't fall." He said.
"O...kay. Whatever you say stranger." Silvua said. "...I don't think I caught your name."
The strange Toa of ice gave him another look.
"Look, if you tell me who you are, maybe I can help you get back." Silvua said.
The Toa pondered this for a moment. "...Kopaka." He said finally.
Silvua smiled slightly and nodded. "I'm-"
"What's a Kopaka?" He was interrupted as Terus suddenly walked into the scene.
Kopaka whirled and brought his shield up, his spear at the ready.
Terus blinked and quickly stuck his hands in the air. "Whoa there stranger, I'm not gonna hurt you!" He exclaimed. "Please don't freeze me."
Kopaka's expression turned confused. "How do you know of my powers?" He demanded softly.
"Um, you're the spitting image of a Toa, mister." Terus said.
Kopaka's eyes narrowed while the eyepiece of his mask clicked and whirred, studying Terus intensely.
Terus, for his part, relaxed, adopting a ponderous expression and posture as he did the same in return.
Silvua sighed. "Look, maybe we could sort all this confusion out back at the village?" He suggested.
"Quiet Silvua, I'm being a fascinating specimen." Terus said, barely managing not to snicker.
Silvua groaned and then quieted, waiting for the odd staring contest to end.
"How do you know what a Toa is?" Kopaka finally asked Terus. "And... what are you?"
"A question: There's thousands if not millions of Toa out there. B question: I am one." Terus replied.
The latter statement seemed to take Kopaka aback.
"Err, sort of." Terus added.
"There's a lot to tell, I think." Silvua said, cutting in again. "Let's go to the village, and we can explain our world to this poor, lost, confused fellow."
Kopaka looked over at Silvua, his expression suggesting he now felt that his fellow Toa of ice was the only sane person in the universe, and nodded.
Sighing with relief, Silvua took the lead for the village.
"So, Kopaka really is your name?" Terus asked as he trotted behind the two ice Toa.
"Yes." Kopaka replied, not looking back at him.


A little story of what would happen should the new Kopaka somehow get sucked away from Okoto and wind up on The Island, in honor of the official US release of the new Bionicle sets.
