Matoran ran screaming hysterically as the three Dokabez advanced down the street. Hovercars lay smashed in their wake, brought down by the creature's weapons. Matoran from the Gundaru Nui Police were doing their best to keep them at bay, but their energy blasters hardly made a dent in the creatures' armor.
One of the Dokabez swung its mace at a hovercar. Its Onu-Matoran driver dove out of the vehicle moments before the weapon connected. It sailed through the air towards a group of fleeing Matoran. They screamed and prepared for impact.
"Hey, Rahi breath, why don't you pick on somebody your own size!" Zakita yelled as he landed in on front of the frightened Matoran, directly in the path of the wrecked hovercar. He summoned a massive gust of wind, knocking the car from its course and sending it crashing into the side of a building.
Both of the Dokabez's heads snarled at the Toa of Air.
"I don't think that will ever get any less disturbing," Zakita muttered with a shudder. He glanced behind him at the Matoran, who were staring at him. "Get out of here!" he shouted at them, "Get to safety!" The Matoran scurried away.
"Okay, Dokabez, looks like it's just you and me," Zakita said as he faced the creature and drew his shuriken.
"Got room for a few more?" came Trelex's voice from behind him. A lightning bolt flashed and struck the Dokabez head(s) on. "WOOHOO!" the Toa of Electricity cheered.
"Hedak, Aroda, Trelex, you take that one over there," Tanire shouted, indicating one of the Dokabez. "Pronak, Jakorak, Sasi, you go after that one. Verau, Buna, and I will help Zakita."
"Will do!" acknowledged Jakorak as he leapt over a wrecked hovercar towards his Dokabez. The massive creature roared and swung its fist, but Jakorak activated his mask power and when the fist met his crossed blades, the Dokabez went flying back and smashed into a wall.
"Right back at you, big guy," the Toa of Light grinned.
"Hey, whatever happened to 'ladies first'?" asked Pronak playfully as she hurled a jet of water from her daggers at the Dokabez.
"My turn!" Sasi cried gleefully as the water now covering the dazed creature froze solid.
Her grin faded as the ice began to crack. "Uh oh," said Jakorak, "This is not gonna be as easy as I thought." As if in response, the ice covering the Dokabez shattered and flew in every direction. The creature stood up and roared at them.
Hedak was, to say the very least, quite pleased with himself. He had been the first to his Dokabez, and he had distracted it by creating the sound of his voice behind it, giving Aroda time to create a few boulders and throw them at the creature's back, knocking it to the ground.
As the Dokabez got to its feet, Trelex leapt forward and struck its left head with the butt end of his staff. He landed behind it and, using his mask to decrease the friction between him and the ground, he slid under the creature and knocked its legs out from under it with his shield. "Aroda!" he called, "Bury it! Quick, before it gets up!"
"Okay," Aroda said as the street around the Dokabez gaped open and swallowed it. "How's that?"
Suddenly the street seemed to collapse in on itself as the Dokabez smashed its way out of its makeshift tomb. It was really angry now, and it jumped forward and brought its mace down on Trelex, who was barely able to get his shield up in time. It struck him with its fist, sending him flying.
"Hey, ugly!" yelled Hedak as he ran at the Dokabez, "Take this!" He jumped and swung his vibro-blade at the creature's heads. Before the blade made contact, however, the Dokabez turned its head and opened its mouth. It caught the weapon between its massive teeth. The Dokabez punched Hedak hard, knocking him unconscious. The now-unarmed Toa hit the ground hard. Spitting out the Toa tool, he two heads snarled as the Dokabez raised its mace to finish him off.
Before the creature could flatten Hedak with its mace, however, Aroda leapt in front of it and, deflecting the weapon to the side, gave the Dokabez a solid kick to the jaw. It roared in pain, and this time directed its mace at the Toa of Stone, but Aroda dodged the strike and summoned a column of stone out of the ground, which struck the creature in the gut. Aroda jumped up and slammed his fists down on both heads as hard as he could. The Dokabez swayed for a couple seconds, dropped its mace, and fell flat on its faces.
Trelex turned to look at Hedak. "Hey, Hedak, we beat it!" Hedak didn't respond. "Hedak? Wake up, man!" The Toa of Sonics was completely still. Suddenly, Trelex remembered something from his first-aid class. He concentrated hard on his elemental powers and formed balls of crackling electricity in his hands. He raised his hands above his head and brought them down on Hedak's chest. He smiled as his teammate's eyes opened.
"Ow," said Hedak, "That hurt."
"Sorry, that was the only way I could wake you up." Trelex responded.
"Yeah, you almost died," Aroda added.
"By the way, where's my…" Hedak trailed off as he noticed a broken sword on the ground a few feet away from the unconscious Dokabez.
