Metru Nui was a grand site. The Rahaga and Turaga Dume had done a great job on reamoving the visorak webbing, and such. However, there was no welcoming party for the heroes.
"So, Turaga, where are these, Rahaga you spoke of?" asked Tahu.
"Strangely, I don't know," answered Vakama.
"Excuse me," said a feminine voice directly behind Vakama. "… Are you Vakama? Toa Metru of Fire?"
Vakama whirled around to see the voice's owner step out of the shadows. She had the stature of a Toa, but wore a strange mask on her face. Twin head- tails jutted from the sides of her mask. Her armor glinted with greens, bronzes, and reds, and her eyes were as icy- cold as the top of Mount Ihu, and her smile looked poisonous.
Turaga Vakama flinched. There was just… something about this mysterious character that seemed so familiar. He just couldn't put his finger on it, however.
The strange Toa turned her gaze to Tahu, Lewa, and Pohatu. Suddenly, they felt… strangely glad this stranger was with them. Like… like she was absolutely perfect for his own self.
Kopaka and Onua also felt these feelings, but with effort, pushed them out of their minds.
Gali, however, was filled with bubbling anger and hatred. I don't trust her she thought.
"Oh. Excuse my rudeness. My name is Kiia. Again, I ask. Are you Toa Vakama," said the Toa impatiently.
"Yes, I am. But no longer a Toa," Vakama answered hesitantly. He glanced around at the Toa Nuva. Tahu, Pohatu, and Lewa were staring at Kiia like love- sick lohraks. Kopaka and Onua just stared silently at the scene. But Gali looked as if she wanted to strangle the strange Toa.
"If you are a Toa, what might your element be," questioned Onua.
"Um… my element is… um… phycics," Kiia answered.
"Where are the Rahaga and Turaga Dume?" aske Kopaka coldly.
Kiia looked down at the ground. "They… um… disappeared a … um… few months ago. Nasty weather, don't you think?" she answered hastily.
"Yes, the weather is unpleasant," Kopaka answered, a little irritated.
"Well… please come with me. I would be honored to escort you to the Coliseum, where you will be staying until the Matoran arrive. By the way, where exactly are the Matoran?" Kiia asked.
"WE GOT SEPARATED IN A STORM," said Lewa, a little too loudly.
"Oh. I'm sorry. Those things happen. Now please come with me," Kiia gestured. Lewa, Tahu, and Pohatu trotted eagerly after her.
