Song: Te Vaka - Logo Te Pate


Malie was sitting on the boat relaxing as she waits for her friends to come back. Malie began to worry. They've been gone for a while. They should've been back by now. Malie wishes she could help them, but Lalotai is a dangerous place. But she can't enter it because mermaids are forbidden to enter that realm. Monsters would use mermaids as good-luck charms. Mermaids bring great fortune and happiness for the one who possess them, if they could get one. Malie glanced over to Heihei, he was pecking at the pole of the boat. She stared at the chicken in confusion. She will never understand what is wrong with that chicken. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt the ocean rumble.

Turning around, she saw her friends exploding out of from the water. Malie gasps in surprise and watches them with wide eyes as her friends fall from the sky. Maui was able to grab his fishhook in midair, but it made him transform randomly. He turned into a pig, a fish, and then an iguana. The two dragons grabbed their riders while Keoni saves Pōkole. They crashed to the water, except for Maui because the Demigod crashed on to the sand. Quickly, Malie dives in the water and swam over to her friends. She came near the edge of the water before helping Moana up her feet. Moana was soaking wet like the others, except Maui since he landed on the sand.

"Are you alright?" Malie asked worriedly.

Moana nodded, still feeling the adrenaline coursing throw her. Moana stood up and looks around. She saw that everyone made it out alive and in one piece. Moana grins happily. Her plan worked!

"We're alive…we're ali-AAAAHHHH!" Moana suddenly yelled out.

Everyone confused on Moana's sudden scream. They followed her gaze to the direction where she was looking and soon their eyes widen in surprise and shock. Makaio had his jaw dropped while Aliikai was holding her laugh, finding the scene amusing. Maui shapeshifting turn him into a…strange creature. His upper body has the shark's head and fins while his lower part was his human legs. They stared at him strangely while Maui, who doesn't know that he has a shark head, looks at them.

"Listen…I appreciate what you two did down there." He began. Moana nodded her head and hums out 'Mm-hmm', trying to ignore his shark head, but it was hard to focus. Keoni just gave him a strange look, finding this disturbing yet amusing at the same time.

"Took guts, but…I'm sorry. I'm tryin' to be sincere for once, and it feels you guys are distracted." Maui pointed out.

"No, no, no way." Moana lied as she waves him off.

"Really? 'Cause you all looking at me like I have a-" Maui gasps when he saw a shark fin instead of his hand, he touched his upper body and sighs in annoyance when he realizes what's wrong. "-Shark head."

Moana chuckles nervously. "Do you have a shark head? Does he have a shark head?" She turns to her friends, earning shrugs from them. "'Cause we-"

Maui cuts her off as he continues. "Look, the point is, for a little girl and boy, children, things, whatever…" Maui kicked a pebble away. "Who have no business being down there. You all did me a solid."

Everyone was kind of surprise by Maui's words, especially Keoni. Maui was supposed to be the prideful and stubborn demigod, who knew he could confess…kind of. They guessed that the beating from Tamatoa did some changes on Maui.

"But you all also almost died, and I couldn't even beat the dumb crab. So, chances of beating Te Kā-" Maui sits on the ground sadly. "-Bupkis. We're never making it to Te Fiti. This mission is curse."

Moana rolled her eyes at the Demigod. "It's not cursed." She informs him.

Maui turn to her and points his shark head. "Shark head." He said grumpily.

Keoni has his arms crosses, leans over to Moana, with Pōkole on his shoulder. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I have to agree with the demigod." Keoni whispers.

Moana gave him the look and gently smack his arm, causing him to lean away. Moana turns to the hook as she picks it up with the help of Aliikai. It was heavy for Moana, but with the help pf Aliikai, they were able to carry it.

"It's not cursed." Moana grunts out as she and Aliikai gives the hook to Maui.

When the hook made contact with Maui, it shapeshifts him into a starfish, bug, iguana, fish, and then a chicken that looks exactly like Heihei, but a bit bigger and taller. Heihei walked over to him and Maui looks at the chicken and then to himsel. Maui groans in frustration before turning back to himself. Pleased on his work, Maui was about to walk away when he suddenly fell. Everyone's eyes widen as they look at Maui. Maui was able to bring his head up and saw that his legs have turned into a shark's tail. Maui groans in frustration and slumps his head on the ground while muttering everyone the reason why he's like this.

"Cursed."


Later that night, the gang was sailing towards their destination. Makaio was pulling the boat while Aliikai was keeping Moana and Malie warm by using her wings as blankets. Malie was asleep since she was tired while Moana was stroking Aliikai's head gently, keeping her sister company. Pōkole was sleeping next to them, using Aliikai's tail fins as his own blanket. Keoni was checking their supplies to make sure that they can make it to Te Fiti. Heihei was inside the small storage box again as he walks around like an idiot. Maui, on the other hand, was lying on his back and was on the other side of the boat, singing a song that has no confident or determination on where they're going.

"What can I say, except we're dead soon, we're dead soon…"

Keoni stops on what he was doing and turns to Maui with a deadpan look. He was getting annoyed about Maui's whining. It's irritating after Maui couldn't defeat Tamatoa and because his hook didn't turn him into a giant hawk.

"Can you stop that." Keoni said in annoyance. This cause Malie and Pōkole to wake up and looked at him with Moana and Aliikai. "Just at least try and transform for once?"

Maui turns to him before turning away as he taps at his hook. "Giant hawk."

With a single tap, he transforms randomly again, he turns into a pig, fish, and then iguana before returnS himself again. Maui gave them the look before singing the unsupported song.

"Hey, it's okay…it's okay. We're dead soon."

Keoni sighs in frustration as he closes the storage floor with Heihei inside. Maui is beginning to be a pain on his side since he doesn't act like a hero. Tala tells stories about him when they were kids, Maui was a great hero, but soon, he became great a thief and a total jerk.

"Alright, stop playing around and start acting like a hero that you're supposed to be." Keoni said, standing up, as he looks down at Maui, who was lying on his back. Keoni and the others watched as Maui sits up and gave him a blank look.

"Why? You're gonna give me a speech? Tell me I could beat Te Kā cause I'm 'Maui'." He quoted with his fingers his name. Mini Maui elbows him, telling him that he should listen to Keoni, but he was soon flickered away by Maui.

"Take a hike, tiny." Maui said rudely, turning away from the others.

Keoni shook his head at Maui before noticing the tattoo on his back near his neck. Keoni looks at it for a while, seeing that woman throwing a child, possibly Maui, on the ocean means that Maui was abandon by them.

"How do you get your tattoos?" Keoni suddenly asked.

Maui sighs in annoyance and turns to him slightly. "They show up when I earn them." He explains to them bluntly.

"How do you earn that one?" Moana asked, joining the conversation, pointing at Maui's back. "What's that for?"

"That's a man's discovery of Nunya." Maui answered dully.

"What's Nunya?" Moana asked before Keoni could.

"Nunya Business." Maui said rudely.

"You know, she'll just keep asking until you tell the truth." Keoni said. "Look, Maui, you need to stop acting like that. You're supposed to be the hero, remember?"

"Back off." Maui mutters to them. Moana wants to ask him about it, but Keoni stops her. Keoni looks over to Maui and said something that shocked everyone, even Maui.

"Look, if you want to talk about it, then I won't force you." Keoni said. "All we ask was for your help. We have don't know what we are doing. We don't know why the ocean chose Moana and Aliikai. But we do know is that our island is dying. You were once a great hero, but now you became a coward. And if don't want us to help you, then we can't understand your problem, if you don't let us understand you."

Maui stayed silent for a while, sinking in the words that Keoni said to him. Keoni just sighs and shake his head before he turns away and was about to walk to the others, but he soon stopped when Maui spoke in a sad tone.

"I wasn't born a demigod." Maui began telling the truth. Keoni and the others looked at him, wondering what he meant by that. Makaio listens while he pulls the boat to their destination.

"I had human parents. They aaa…they took one look and decided…they did not want me. They threw me into the sea like I was nothing." Maui explained sadly.

Everyone listens to his story with sympathy, they didn't know that Maui was abandon by his parents. They thought Maui was born a demigod, but once a human that turned immortal because his parents abandon them.

"Somehow, I was found by the gods. They gave me the hook." He gestured the hook beside him. "They made me…Maui." Maui added, thinking the power he was given by the gods. "And back to the humans I went, I gave them island, fire, coconuts. Anything they could ever want." Maui's tattoos have all the pictures of his deeds that he helped with the humans.

"You took the Heart for them." Moana spoke, looking at the tattoos that have his deeds and cheering humans. "You did everything for them. So, they'd love you." Moana looks down sadly.

"And they gave you the love that your parents didn't." Keoni added, looking at Maui seriously.

"It was…never enough." Maui said truthfully. He wanted more attention, he wanted to be loved and be cared for, to feel special and important. His parents didn't give him the love that parents should give to their children. Instead, they just abandon him as if he was nothing to them. Keoni now understand why Maui wanted the attention. He wants to feel love, the love that he long to have from families. Sighing, Keoni made his way towards Maui and sits next to him. The two didn't speak for a while since they sort of hold some grudges with each other before Keoni took a deep breathe and sighs.

"Maybe the gods found you for a reason." He began. Keoni knows that Maui was listening to him. Keoni made sure that Maui could find reason on why he was here for. "Maybe the ocean brought you to them because it saw someone who was worthy of being saved. But the gods aren't the ones who make you Maui, you are." Keoni said before standing up and headed back to the others.

Maui sinks the words that Keoni said to him, he was right, the ocean did take him to the gods and gave him the hook. He was alive because of the ocean and he helped the people, so he could be loved. And now, he took away the life from Te Fiti and everyone lost their homes because of him. But Maui can fix this, he will return the Heart of Te Fiti.

Maui felt Mini Maui hugging him gently, supporting him along the way. Maui smiles and pats him gently. "Okay, okay." Maui chuckles. "I-I love you too, buddy."

Maui looks over to his hook and hesitated to pick up, fearing that he will randomly shapeshift. But taking a deep breathe, Maui was determined to be what he was supposed to be, a hero. Keoni was talking with Moana and Malie about their destination before the two girls looked at Maui in surprise. Keoni saw this and raised a brow as he turns around to see Maui holding his hook and gave them a nod. Keoni smirked at the Demigod while the others smiled at him proudly. Mini Maui cheered for him before pointing at the other side. The tattoo that shows Te Kā attacking Mini Maui, who dodged her attack, and transforms into a giant hawk and charges at Te Kā, defeating her and restoring the heart.

Lue lue, lue lue
Ke manatua faiga iena
Te luelue te malohi ina hiva
Ke manatua faiga iena
Te fiafia te malie ina hiva
Hau la ke ta o (kuku mai to lima)
Hau la ke ta o (hau ta hihiva)
Hau la ke ta o (kuku mai to lima)
Hau la ke ta o (ko koe taku pele e fofou ai au)

Everyone understood what Mini Maui was trying to say, but they have to something smaller first. So, Mini Maui turned into a bug, to show Maui to do the basic. Maui hesitated before transforming into a bug. He falls, but he was able to recover when he succeeded in turning to a bug and cheers, but he was soon eaten by Heihei. Moana and Malie, who was in the water, covered their mouths as Heihei had Maui in his beak. Keoni shook his head at the Heihei while the two dragons and the Kakamora snickered silently. Maui was able to turn back to his human form with Heihei holding on to his finger with his beak.

Clearly, the deadpan look on Maui's face shows that he didn't like it how Heihei ate him.

Tamilomilo fakatamilomilo (e kua ninimo toku ulu)
Tamilomilo fakatamilomilo (toe fai toe fai ke manino)
Katakata mai (kata mai)
Hihiva mai (hihiva mai)
Fakalogo ki te pate (aue)
Ma te luelue

Next, Maui had to turn to an iguana. Mini Maui shows him how and Maui understood. He turns into an iguana next and Heihei was on his back. Maui grins and crawls towards the edge of the boat with the chicken on his back before dumping Heihei overboard. Moana, Keoni, and Malie shook their head with a smile before the Ocean squirts Heihei back to Moana as she caught him.

Ke manatua faiga iena
Te luelue te malohi ina hiva
Ke manatua faiga iena
Te fiafia te malie ina hiva
Hau la ke ta o (kuku mai to lima)
Hau la ke ta o (hau ta hihiva)
Hau la ke ta o (kuku mai to lima)
Hau la ke ta o (ko koe taku pele e fofou ai au)

Maui crawls on the edge before jumping while turning to his original form and jumps in the water. They looked at the water, waiting for Maui to resurface, until shark Maui came out, scaring Pōkole in the process. Maui leaps through the air yelling 'Cheeeehooo!' and then turns into a giant hawk and flies off to the stone pillars. Aliikai became excited and soon joins in the sky with Makaio. The three soared through the sky, they maneuvered through the stone pillars and Maui would turn into his human form to slice some in half with his hook, and then turn back to the hawk. Moana, Malie, and Keoni cheered them one as they return to the boat, but not before Maui has a mischievous idea and turns into a whale and splashed on the water, creating a wave to wet Moana, Keoni, and Pōkole. Malie was soon in the boat because of the splash and Maui stands beside them. Moana and Maui did a high five while Keoni and him fist-bumped, and then Mini Maui.

Suddenly, Heihei, being the idiotic chicken, fell overboar again and floats away. The Ocean was getting mad and annoyed by the chicken and finally grabs him again and placed him on the basket and then closes it before putting the basket on the storage box and slamming it shut before retreating to the water.

Tamilomilo fakatamilomilo (e kua ninimo toku ulu)
Tamilomilo fakatamilomilo (toe fai toe fai ke manino)
Katakata mai (kata mai)
Hihiva mai (hihiva mai)
Fakalogo ki te pate (aue)
Ma te luelue

Everyone laughs at this as Moana handed Maui the oar, but Maui instead that she and Keoni should do it. Moana smiles happily as she brings Keoni over, so Maui can teach them how to be wayfinders. Maui teaches them how to steer the boat, and uses their hands to feel the water, if the water is warm means they are close to land. Maui teaches them to use the stars as a map to find their way and how to adjust the sail. The two were fast learners as they were able to master wayfinding.

Tamilomilo fakatamilomilo (e kua ninimo toku ulu)
Tamilomilo fakatamilomilo (toe fai toe fai ke manino)
Katakata mai (kata mai)
Hihiva mai (hihiva mai)
Fakalogo ki te pate (aue)

Katakata mai (kata mai) [Lue lue, lue lue]
Hihiva mai (hihiva mai) [Lue lue, lue lue]
Fakalogo ki te pate aue (aue, aue) [Lue lue, lue lue]
Ma te luelue [Lue lue, lue lue]

As they sail off, they headed towards the location of Te Fiti, and their face off with Te Kā. Aliikai and Makaio are ready to help their riders and make sure that they keep them safe. The journey of restoring life will be difficult.

So, they have to be ready for anything.
