Once Upon a Time: The Battle of Life and Death
Onua felt the dizziness wash over him. He was sick, dying. He knew it. It was a toxin, a poison. It was taking over him, he could feel it. He wasn't dying physically, he was dying mentally. Whatever this poison was, it was what Tahu had gotten. It had driven the Toa of Fire to his very death in a battle against Kopaka.

"Earthbrother," Lewa spoke gently, "something badwrong?"
"Yes, Lewa." Onua said, his voice was hoarse. "I'm dying. I've already talked to Turaga Whenua, there is only one cure, death."
"You... you... brother..." Lewa looked even sadder then after Onua had saved him from the Krana's control.
"There's nothing you can do for me."

"Onua!" Gali's voice called through Onu-Koro. She ran into his hut to see the black Toa just barely standing up. "Brother, Lewa has told me. Are you sure of no cure?"
"Yes, Turaga Whenua has said so himself."
Gali pulled her brother Toa into a hug. He hugged her back, trying to reassure not only her, but himself as well.
seise to shi, umarete wa shinu (life and death, to be born is to die)
seise to shi, umarete wa shinu (life and death, to be born is to die)
kyuuketsuki wa eien ni ikiru yakusoku sareta (the vampire lives eternally, for it was promised so)
"We had no way to save them." Gali's voice was a whisper. She looked at the memorials for Onua and Tahu. Tears began to swell up into her gold eyes.
"No way to save this poison from spreading." Kopaka said.
"So, if we are to die—" Pohatu began.
"—then so it shall be." Lewa finished for him.

eien no shi (eternal death)
"So, our new battle has begun." Kopaka stated.
"With no way to stop it." Gali looked at her remaining brothers.
"No earth, no fire, no ice—" Pohatu began
"—no water, no air, no stone—" Lewa said the next part.
"—no light." Takanuva finished.
"Shall end this new darkness that has fallen upon us." They all said in unison.
seise to shi, shi wa utsukushii, utsukushii (life and death, death is beautiful, beautiful)
seise to shi, shi wa utsukushii, utsukushii (life and death, death is beautiful, beautiful)
seise to shi, jinsei utsukushii, utsukushii (life and death, life is beautiful, beautiful)
Their battle begun. An unbeatable enemy. Their deaths, tragic. Their lives, heroic. But this was only the beginning.
kyuuketsuki, eien ni ikiru, yakusoku sareta (the vampire lives eternally, for it was promised so)
