The next morning, I went to the kitchens and found that Dume had given me an errand: go to Ga-Metru and pick up a delayed shipment of Takea fins.
Right when I was about to leave out the back door, something shiny caught my eye. It was on the counter where the note had been.
I warily walked over and picked it up. I examined it. It was a Toa Stone!

Not stopping to think about my discovery or who would give me such a mysterious object, I hurried through the doors by the factories.
I noticed a Matoran emerging from the entrance to one of the factories. Odd. Factory workers never left their workplaces, except to go home. He had something in his hands, and I could see that it was a Toa Stone. I decided to follow him.

My chase took me to the central Ta-Metru chute station, where I saw the mysterious Matoran disappear into a crowd of Le-Matoran tourists headed for Ga-Metru.
Flashing the ticket vendor my All-Metru Pass, I started to zoom through the chute. That pass is given only to Turaga Dume's inner circle, which includes Derone, Kean, and myself. It allows me to go into any chute in Metru Nui, no questions asked.

The chute stopped and the Ta-Matoran got out, with me not far behind.
I followed him all the way to the Great Temple, where, strangely enough, five other Matoran waited.

I watched the Matoran become Toa and took mental notes on how they did it. Suddenly, they started to leave, so I leapt from my watching place beside the door to behind a large statue of Lhikan.
"Vakama," Nokama said nervously, "Did you notice that there were seven slots in the Suva, yet there are only six of us?"
"Who cares," Onewa shrugged. "That's probably the result of erosion. You know how old the Suva is!"
Satisfied with that answer, the Toa left.

After checking that they were all gone, I stepped up to the Suva and inserted my Toa Stone in the one remaining slot.
There was a flash of light, and orbs in all the colors of the rainbow came out of the Suva.
They surrounded me and I could feel my small Matoran body growing. My Huna glowed with a golden light, and I had all the Kanohi powers there were. Lastly, I looked down and saw my white body turn crystalline.
A silver staff with two purple claws crackling with electricity popped out of the top of the Suva and I grabbed it.

Examining myself in a nearby pool of water, I tried to figure out what element I was Toa of.
Fire? Not likely.
Water? Could be...
Air? Hmm...
Stone? Hardly.
Earth? Impossible.
What about Ice?

"Hikan, Toa of Ice." I said the name over and over. There was just something wrong with it. Besides, I had seen a white Toa already be created, and white symbolized Ice.

Then I remembered the rainbow-coloured orbs that had surrounded me.
What was rainbow coloured? Crystal!

"Now and forevermore," I shouted, "I am Hikan, Toa of Crystal!
