Author's Notes: Okay guys… So I know Jaller is supposed to be dead. Well, too bad. I like the guy, so he's fine. It's my fanfic, so I can do what I want, right? Jaller never died, and he's still alive and breathing! Oh, and they never found Metru Nui, either. If there's anything else in my story that doesn't fit with the original plot, well, you'll just have to deal with it!

Gali Nuva darted through the water surrounding Ga-Koro like a shark. She twisted her body and preformed a full turn in the water. With her Aqua Axes firmly attached to her feet, she continued doing laps around the village. She was happiest in the water. Hum… I wonder how my brothers are doing. I haven't heard from either of them for quite some time now.

Gali surfaced and, detaching the Aqua Axes from her feet, crawled onto Ga-Koro's beach. She took a stroll, reflecting on everything that happened over the past month.

My brothers and I parted ways soon after celebrating Makuta's defeat. I made my way here, and the Matoran all greeted me cheerfully. The Ga-Matoran have all been living peacefully up till now… but Nokama told me that a great evil has decended on Mata Nui once more. Kopaka confirmed this by calling an emergency meeting in Po-Koro. It isn't like him to suddenly call a meeting. He must have a good reason…

Gali shrugged off the thought. Ah, we'll probably also discuss that at the meeting.

Lewa Nuva glided through the air, his Katanas on his back, deployed like wings. He hovered for a moment, before landing next to Kongu's hut. Lewa then promptly stretched his arms and yawned like a cat.

Ah, Glide-Flying is fun. Why does Kopaka have to call-arrange a meeting in Po-Koro? What's wrong with Le-Koro? You'd think he's never been uptree in his life! Po-Koro is too dry.

Lewa stared up at the sky. Ah… the wind is just right today…

Pohatu Nuva was panting with exhaustion. Kopaka had told him about the meeting first, and then had asked him to deliver the message to the other Toa Nuva. Pohatu had just run from Po-Koro to Le-Koro, and to Ta-Koro and also to Ga-Koro. At Ta-Koro, Vakama had told him that Tahu was absent, so he just gave the message to Takanuva.

The Toa of stone was now in Onu-Koro, trying to deliver his message to Onua, but unable to due to his exhaustion.

"Pohatu… You don't look so good." said Onua with concern written all over his face.

Pohatu shook his head and concentrated on the task at hand. "Yeah, well… Kopaka has called an emergency meeting for all the Toa Nuva. It'll take place at Po-Koro and will start as soon as everyone is present." he gasped, out of breath.

Onua nodded. "Okay, then what are we waiting for? Come, we shall walk to Po-Koro together. Walk, that is, not run. You have probably already done enough running for a lifetime."

Pohatu flashed his friend a smile. "Alright."

&&&

Kopaka closed his eyes then opened them again slowly. He was already in Po-Koro, and was presently seated in the shade of an enormous sculpture. After asking Pohatu to deliver the message, he found it illogical to go back to Ko-Koro only to have to come back again to attend the meeting. So he simply waited here.

Kopaka frowned. Maybe I should have told Pohatu to hurry. But didn't I mention the fact that this was a matter of extreme urgency? The Toa of ice hunched his shoulders. He could only imagine the reactions of his fellow Toa Nuva when he'd tell them the news.

He shook his head slowly. He himself had trouble believing it. If it didn't happen in front of his own eyes, he would have denied it. Yet it had happened.

"Tahu…"

&&&

Takanuva stepped through the Po-Koro gate and was greeted by Kopaka's emotionless expression, Lewa's mischievous smirk, and Gali's nod of acknowledgement.

The Toa of Light turned to Kopaka. "Where are Pohatu and Onua?" he asked.

As if on cue, the two Toa suddenly appeared behind Takanuva. Kopaka gave them both a curt nod and then announced, "Good, we're all here."

Gali gave him a confused look. "What? But Tahu isn't here, yet!"

Lewa nodded in agreement. "She's right. The fire-maker is nowhere in sight-view."

Kopaka hung his head, not daring to eye the other Toa. "No, he isn't here with us. That's precisely why I called this meeting."
