Whenua Hordika fired an earth spinner at Keetongu, and growled in frustration as the giant robot merely deflected it and sent the jet-coloured Rhotuka towards the wall, where it solidified into a sheet of rock.
He and the other Hordika were fighting Keetongu without success- well, minus Vakama, who was being held in a cage of electricity from a Suukorak spinner that they had been commissioned to collect for Hikan. The Toa Hordika of Earth glanced over at Vakama and was met with a burning, acid-yellow gaze of pure hatred. Vakama would have been an immense help against Keetongu, as fire melts metal, but since he became a full Hordika, Vakama was a threat that had to be contained.

Two other spinners flew through the air, their flight paths illuminated by sparkling rays of aqua and amber. It seemed that Nokama and Onewa were trying to create mud in an attempt to delay Keetongu's wave of destruction. A viridian spinner flew through the air next; that was Matau's. This was good, as Whenua needed time to think. How on earth were they going to defeat this monstrosity?

He looked back at Vakama for inspiration, and then it came to him. In the forges of Ta-Metru, workers such as Vakama had often relied on assistance from robotic creations called 'fire drones'. Fire drones were robots, right? Didn't robots have an off switch?

Whenua sucked in deeply. If Keetongu did have an off switch, where would it be? He'd need three eyes to find that switch's location... hold it. That was it! Eyes!
The Toa Hordika of Earth concentrated on the earth energies within him, upon which his body began to glow with a soft grey light. Then, when he felt the energy had built up enough, Whenua let it loose.
A single, deadly beam of energy shot from his chest and aimed straight for Keetongu's blinking red eye. The force of the beam blew the eye apart, and thus a giant orange robot slumped to the floor, causing a huge cloud of dust in the process.

Keetongu had been defeated.

As the fog cleared, Whenua could see Nuju, Nokama, Matau and Onewa standing in silence, not daring to believe that their adversary had been vanquished. Then the silence broke.

"Ya-HOOOOO!"

Then they all laughed, but weep, for the laughter did not last.

"Uh, guys, where's Sidorak?" asked Nuju.

All thoughts of merriment vanished from their minds as they stared in horror at Keetongu's cockpit, which was unmistakably open.

Sidorak had vanished.

A few kios north of the Coliseum, a single figure stood alone on a rocky cliff.
It pulled out a glistening oval-shaped jewel that pulsed with darkness but also had an orange tinge to it.
The figure opened up a portal, and vanished to a new time and place. This time, it would have its revenge.

I awoke from my sleep with a start. Where had those last few memories come from? I didn't recall experiencing them...
Something strange was going on. I was gaining new memories, ones that I had never even had in the first place!
This needed investigation, but not before I got some more sleep.

Yawning, I fell asleep again, and let the newfound memories overcome my mind...
