The Toa Rukua were assembled in Turaga Norukan's office. As soon as they got in, Sasi grilled the Turaga for not warning them that they were to become into Toa.
"Do you know how much the transformation process hurt?" She fumed, "I was frozen in a BLOCK OF ICE! And everyone's discovered their mask powers except me!" She continued to harangue Norukan for several minutes. The Turaga sat calmly through Sasi's lecture while Jakorak, Buna, Zakita, and Trelex struggled to hide their laughter.
When she finished, Norukan stood up from his desk. "I apologize for not warning you about being turned into Toa, but none of you asked what the stones did. If you had, I would have been happy to tell you. At the present moment, however, we have much more important issues to discuss. The threat that I predicted would come to the city has arrived."
"That's why we returned from our training, Turaga," Tanire explained. "We were going to warn you."
"How do you already know about it?" Jakorak asked.
"I had a certain visitor a couple hours before you arrived. He is not one to be trifled with. He wants to take over the island for his masters to build a base on, and he is more than capable of doing so. You may have heard of him. He is called Makuta Vidaraz."
"Hold on a second, Turaga," interjected Jakorak, "Did you just say MAKUTA? So you're telling me that on top of having a two-headed freak running lose in Gundaru Nui, now we have to deal with the Brotherhood of Makuta? Please tell me I heard you wrong."
"I wish I could say you had, Jakorak, but sadly, you heard me correctly. The Brotherhood of Makuta wants to build a base on Gundaru Nui, so they sent Vidaraz here to request permission to build, and now that I have refused their demands, he will order his private army, the Karudax, to attack the city. And as for the 'two-headed freak' you mentioned, Jakorak; that is called a Dokabez. The Dokabez are part of Vidaraz's army."
Verau's eyes widened in terror, "So you are saying that there is more than one of that thing? It took both me and Buna just to chase it off, how are we supposed to fight an army of them?"
"Hmph, I bet if I was there it would have been a cinch to fight it off," huffed Hedak. "You don't really expect to defeat a monster with salad, do you, Verau?" Verau gasped at his comment as he continued, "I mean seriously, something as big as that could crush you – URK!"
Hedak was unable to finish his taunt as a red hand suddenly closed around his neck and lifted him into the air. Buna's eyes drilled into Hedak's as he growled, "Don't you ever talk to Verau like that again, d'you hear me?" Hedak tried to speak, but the only sound that came out was a squeak. The other Toa tried to intervene, but Buna pushed them away with his three free hands. He shook the Toa of Sonics and yelled, "Do you hear me?"
"Enough!" ordered Norukan, and Hedak was unceremoniously tossed to the floor. The Turaga was clearly angry. "How do you expect to save Gundaru Nui if you can't even handle minor arguments among yourselves? Why do you think Unity is the first of the three virtues?"
"I apologize for our behavior, Turaga," said Tanire.
"You will have far more than your behavior to apologize for if you lot don't shape up soon," Norukan said, glaring at the Toa. "Now, moving back to the issue of Makuta Vidaraz, there is some good news. Thousands of years ago, back when I was a Toa, my team and I fought against him and the Karudax. We were able to defeat him, but only because of his overconfidence. He underestimated our power. Unfortunately, He will not be likely to make the same mistake twice. He will most likely order the Karudax to attack you when you least expect it so he can avoid having to fight you personally. I think the best thing for you to do now is to find a new place for you to continue getting used to your powers."
"Umm, excuse me?" said Trelex fearfully. He was looking out the huge window of Norukan's office. "Not to be rude Turaga, but I don't think there is gonna be much time for that. I think I see something out there, but I'm not totally sure."
Sasi hurried to the window. She could definitely see something going on in the distance, but she couldn't make out what it was. She squinted in an effort to see it better when suddenly…
WHIRRR! Pipipipiii! WHIRR!
Suddenly, the thing she was trying to see appeared to grow dramatically in size until it filled her entire field of vision. No, it wasn't getting bigger; she was zooming in on it! It was her mask power!
Before she was able to celebrate, however, she realized what she was looking at. "Guys? We've got trouble. Big, ugly, two-headed trouble."
