GW: OMG! It's like, the last chapter everybody!

All Toa: HURRAY!

GW: And on the 16th of May (my birthday ), Mystery of Voya Nui will premier!

All Toa: Awwwwwww…

GW: Also, a few new characters will be shown! And a whole new romance will be unveiled! One that you'll least expect!

Kiia: What's with all the exclamation points?

GW: I don't know!

"Takanuva!" yelled Lewa. Kiia was sprawled on the ground, unconscious. The blast of light energy had evidentially drained all her power. The Toa of Light raced over and untied his friends. The enchantment on the Turaga had worn of by then.

"Thanks," said Lewa, jumping up. He glanced over at the unconscious Toa of Shadow. "Hey! Guys! Kiia's acting funny-weird. Kiia's entire body was spasming, as though she were going deep into herself. Very, very deep…

"Norik! Norik! Look at me! See? See what I can do!" said the tiny Toa. She held a small globe of darkness in her minute hands. A childish grin was pasted on her innocent face. "Norik! Lookie!" she said again.

The dark red Rahaga came over to see what the entire ruckus was about. He sighed. It was good to see her practicing her powers, but it stirred up worry in him. Would if a certain someone sensed the energy she emitted? Should he tell her why she was always kept hidden? Should he tell the child her destiny? How would she respond if she learned who her father was? Gaaki had always told Kiia tales about the malevolent Makuta. Kiia always listened with an earnest ear. Sometimes, Norik thought that she got too absorbed in the tales. He had asked Gaaki to stop telling the child the stories, and the blue Rahaga reluctantly agreed. It was for her own good. But sometimes, Norik wondered, was it really for their own good?

"Lie her down here," said Pouks. The brown Rahaga gestured to a small stone cot a corner of the infirmary of Ga-Metru. Kiia's body was limp and cold. Her eyes were dark and empty. The armor on her chest had been removed to make it easier for her to breath. Still, her chest moved little and slowly with each breath she struggled to take in.

"Takanuva, what did you do to her?" demanded Tahu.

Takanuva's face was white. He didn't think he had hit Kiia that hard with his beam. Had he?

Gaaki shook her head. "Takanuva did not harm her at all. He only restored memories that were buried under a mountain of lies. It takes time. Leave her be." She turned to the Toa of Light. "It's okay," Gaaki said. "Your sister will be fine."

"Why can't I come with you?" Kiia whined.

Pouks sighed. "You are to stay here. Don't look at me like that. It's on Norik's orders."

"Arg!" Kiia spat. "It's always on Norik's orders. I am sick and tired of being cooped up in this stuffy old building! I want to see the world! I want to help Rahi like you do! But I can't! You know why? Because of stupid orders!" With that said, she plopped down and pouted.

Pouks stifled a laugh. "Tell you what; I'll talk to Norik about letting you out sometime soon."

Kiia smiled. Not the devious one. A warm, radiant one. It would probably be her last.

"MY SISTER?" yelled Takanuva. "What the heck?"

Bomonga took the stand this time. "Yes, Takanuva. Kiia is unique, as are you. Both spawned of darkness. Both destined to seek out the light."

Takanuva held up hands. "Dude, I thought that my destiny was to defeat Makuta and rediscover Metru Nui."

"It is," said Iruini. "It is also your destiny to make sure all Makuta's agents are also destroyed. It was written long ago, a Toa of Shadow and a Toa of Light would be born. Together, they would defeat the darkness."

"Wait a minute. You said 'born'. I was a Matoran before becoming a Toa," stated Takanuva.

"It's really a simple concept to comprehend. You're destiny was different in the beginning. You're destiny was to Matoran, while Kiia's was to the aspects of life. With you're knowledge of society and Kiia's comprehension of nature, a balance would be created," rambled Kualus.

"Hey! I just remembered! What happened to Dume?" said Pohatu.

"Are you absolutely sure we won't get in trouble?" asked Kiia for about the 18th time in that many minuets.

Gaaki nodded. "I thought it was time that you see the world around you. No matter how hard Norik can try, he should understand that you can't keep a Toa's spirit cooped up forever."

The two walked along the beach of Ga-Metru. "It is so peaceful out here," Kiia gasped. "It looks as though the visorak never even came."

Gaaki raised an eyebrow. "You still remember that story?" she inquired.

Kiia grinned playfully and nodded. "I remember almost all of the stories you told me when I was little."

Gaaki grimaced. Luckily, Kiia wasn't paying attention. Her head was cocked to one side, listening for something. "Something's in trouble!" she said suddenly. The lithe Toa sprinted off to a cave in a small cove. "Down there," she pointed. A cry rose from within the darkness.

"It's a blade burrower," stated Gaaki. "Wait here. I'll go get my brothers. Blade burrowers are dangerous and unpredictable. I don't want you down there until we teach you the uses of your maces."

"But, aren't my powers enough?" pleaded Kiia.

"No. The burrower's thick exoskeleton deflects energy. Wait here." With that, Gaaki was gone.

When the Rahga was out of sight, Kiia glanced around. Then, she ran into the cave. She thought nothing of it at the time. Little did the naïve Toa know, it would be the biggest mistake of her life.

"Oh, Dume? He's fine. He's just been kept in a prison for the short time Kiia wasn't herself. It was his own choice. It was also the safest place on the entire island," shrugged Norik.

"Okay, that solves one problem. The next is: When is Kiia going to wake up?" said Tahu.

"No one knows…"

Kiia was lost. She had been wandering around the tunnel for a good half-hour. Still, there was no sign of any wildlife. Kiia was thinking about going back. That's when he called to her.

"Kiia."

"What? Who's there," asked Kiia.

"It is I, Makuta."

"Makuta," Kiia spat.

"Ah, so you know my name. That is good."

"I… I'm not afraid of you," Kiia said.

"Silly Toa. Everyone's afraid of Makuta."

Kiia chose not to respond.

"Listen, Kiia. I have a … proposal for you."

"And what would that be?" Kiia inquired.

"It is a simple task. I need a certain group of Toa dead. Make that two groups, actually."

"Would if I don't want to?" sneered the magenta Toa.

"Oh, you don't have a choice… my daughter." With that, Kiia became enthralled by darkness.

Kiia's body jerked suddenly. "No. No." she mumbled.

Gaaki put a dampened cloth on the Toa's forehead. The Rahaga sighed. "I have a strange feeling that I know which memory she is reliving now," she said, her orange eye's cast to the ground.

Iruini put a hand on Gaaki's shoulder. "It's not your fault. He would have found her sooner or later."

Gaaki's eyes were tear-stained now. "I know," she whispered. "I know."

"Why the heck did you leave her here? You know how curious she gets," argued Norik.

"I… I wasn't thinking straight," retorted Gaaki.

The two of them had been having some form of this argument for the past hour, which was spent looking for Kiia and the Burrower in the cave. So far, the six Rahaga had found none of the two. But their luck was about to change.

"Hey guys!" yelled Kualus. "Come look at this!" His friends rushed over to him. There stood a Nui-Jaga with ice-cold eyes. Then, the scorpion blurred and became a Rama.

"Krahka?" suggested Pouks.

"No," whispered Norik as the creature changed shape again. "It's Kiia." Then, the six Rahga were blasted off their feet buy a bolt of dark lightning.

"You lied to me!" Kiia screeched. "You lied about my destiny! My Mask! You never told me it had powers! And my element… Shadow. Here me now, Rahaga! I serve a new master now! One who will tell me everything! No secrets or lies ever again!"

Gaaki looked at Norik. The red Rahaga nodded. "Makuta," they said in unison.

"Ahhhhhh!" screamed Kiia as the memories stopped. She sat up and looked around. "N-Norik? Wha… what happened? Why is everyone staring at me? Who are they?"

"These special Toa," sad Norik, "are who we have been waiting for. Kiia, meet the Toa Nuva."

"But… what happened. Why don't I remember their arrival? The… the last thing I remember was walking in that cave, looking for the injured blade burrower."

"There was no burrower," said Gaaki. "It was all a trick by Makuta. For the past five months, you have been his puppet."

Kiia's mouth hung open. "What the heck!" she yelled. She reached up and touched her mask.

"The essence is gone now. You have nothing to worry about now," said Tahu.

Kiia grinned mischievously. "Well, hello there," she said. Lewa sniggered. Pohatu smiled. Onua put his arm around Gali's waist. Kiia crawled of the bed and walked towards Tahu. It was the perfect ending for this story. It is, however, not over. A white leg appeared in Kiia's path and she fell to the floor. Everyone was laughing. Kopaka just smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"No time for horseplay right now," said Vakama. Kiia grumbled and got to her feet.

Kiia and Takanuva stood side-by-side in the center of the Coliseum's arena. Vakama came up and gave the two siblings each a crystal. Both were a mixture of pink and yellow and the symbol of Unity, Duty, and Destiny was inscribed in black in the center of the stone. The Turaga of Fire handed the crystals to Kiia and Takanuva. "I give you," he said, "the twin Toa Voya!"
