Gali looked at the thirteen Matoran. She was unsure of Tahu's plan, but trusted it at the same time. She rethought the plan again. All they have to do is travel around the Coliseum and come back here. Takanuva will point out they are missing and he and Onua will follow them. If they aren't back by the time the Turaga are arrive from what they are doing, then I shall see what is holding them up.
"Is everyone clear on what they are going to do?" Tahu asked. All nodded in agreement. It was risky and dangerous for the Matoran, but if they were to learn more about Metru Nui, it must be done. The Matoran pretended to go back into the crowd amongst friends, but turned left and slunk away from it.
A minute passed, they could still be seen. Another, then another. Finally Takanuva scanned the crowd, 'looking' for Jaller. He asked a few Matoran, but they had no idea. He winked at Onua.
"Right." He said getting everyone's attention. "Me and Onua will try to find the thirteen who vanished. If we are not back by the time the Turaga come back, Gali will pursue us." There were a few "Be careful's" and "Do find them's," but none of them expected the Toa to have planned it all.

Jaller looked around the corner. Good, Takanuva had just declared he and Toa Onua Nuva would go and look for him and the others. It hadn't taken them long to run to where they had been hiding out.
"'bout time." Jaller said sarcastically to the Toa of Light.
"Hey, you can't rush things." the other inquired.
"Can we hurry it up?" They both turned to see Hewkii and the other Matoran looking impatient. Soon all of them were moving along with no care or worry... Though Macku noticed Hahli looking a bit nervous. Poor thing. She and everyone else knew that the responsible Ga-Matoran had never-- never-- broken one of the rules.
"Don't worry, Hahli." Macku whispered to her Kolhi partner. "We won't get in trouble."
"I'm not worried about that, it's what's going to happen that bothering me." She whispered. The pretty one's voice was shaky, but held it's usual sweet tone in it. Macku nodded, realizing what she meant.

He watched them. Perfect. It was all too perfect! The Toa and Matoran were falling right into his trap. It was almost time. He turned his attention back onto the other Toa Nuva. They were standing there, looks of great concern for the others on their faces... especially Gali. She knew what was going to happen-- she had always known. She had always known-- since she first came to life-- that he would come back from the dead. He snickered.
He heard groaning. Looking back, he saw the little purple figure awaking.
"Ah, I see you are up." His voice sounded cold and metallic... as if it came from everywhere and nowhere at once. The little one looked up at him, the expression full of disgust and aversion.
"What the hell do you want with me." the voice from the purple figure was that of a juvenile-- it was also female. She hadn't asked or yelled... she had demanded. He wondered why he even kept her here. Then he remembered. She was the Chosen.

Vakama felt blood trickle down the side of his mask. How much longer could this go on? Matau, Whenua, and Onewa had already fallen. Now it was just him, Nokama, and Nuju. They looked ready to collapse, but they stood as firm as their hunched, weary bodies would allow.
"Vakama... we must call the Toa..." Nokama gasped.
"But... the Matoran..." he looked at her. She wasn't looking well.
"We only need two or three Toa." Her voice was nearly nothing.
"Alright. Tahu, Kopaka, and Gali then." He mumble a few ancient words. "Ereh em Aot Avun, I ylno deen Uhat, Akapok, dna Ilag. (To get the message, the word are sdrawkcab backwards!... get it?)"
