"So now we're going BACK!" shouted Takanuva.
"Yes, we are," replied Tahu. "We must return to Metru Nui! It is the Matorans' true home, even if none remember it!"
"But what about the damage from the earthquake and the Visorak?" asked Gali. "Can we really hope to repair it all and restore Metru Nui?"
"I see no reason why not," input Pohatu. "After all, we rebuilt Le-Koro after the Bohrok attacked it. Plus, the Turaga will give us an idea of what we're making."
"Can we trust the Turaga?" asked Kopaka. "After all, they still haven't revealed everything they know about the Bohrok, Rahkshi, or the Bahrag, and they know much more about those than we do."
"That's what I glad-like about you, Kopaka," responded Lewa, with grin and a hint of sarcasm. "You're always so full of happy-cheer. Never shadow-doubting."
"Stop it," chuckled Onua. "You guys make me laugh a lot, but not right now, okay?"
"All I'm saying is," retorted Kopaka, with a snarl and a shifting of his sword. "That the Turaga have rarely been fully honest with us at all times, and no vine-swinging, Le-Matoran tree-dweller is going to-"
"To do what, Kopaka?"
The Toa all turned to the nine Matoran who had just arrived at the Kini Nui.
"Nothing, Matoro, and tell Nuju to speak for himself once in a while. I could use the musical interlude."
"Yeah, sure, absolutely nothing," said Jaller sarcastically. "And that explains Toa Lewa's air katana at your throat, how, exactly?"
"Be careful, Ja-ja, he's a Toa. You don't want to provoke him."
"Hahli, I told you not to call me that!"
Hahli and Jaller's recent marriage had indeed changed things a bit. Turaga Vakama himself had performed the ceremony.
"Nevermind!" shouted Takanuva, now fully convinced and on Tahu's side. "We will return to Metru Nui and we will rebuild!"
