: Matoro arrived at the hideout first. Will was behind him, after Garan had convinced her that everything was perfectly okay and that the tall guy with a mean-looking sword wouldn't hurt her. Which was actually really hard to do, since she had no reason to trust the Matoran either. But they seemed to know who she was, and it was better than staying out there in the cold with nothing to do.

When they walked through the doorway, Kazi, who had been sitting around the table with the other Matoran, stood up. "Toa Matoro!" Then he frowned. "But where is Jaller? Wasn't he with you?"

Matoro gave him a shrug. He looked down at the Ko-Matoran, and said, quite frankly, "He ran off after Thok and I couldn't stop him."

Kazi's frown deepened. He raised an arm, an in turn his Sonic Pitchfork, and was about to say something when the door opened again and Nuparu stepped in, with a frightened Cornelia and a pondering Hewkii behind him.

The Guardian immediately perked up when she saw her friend. "Will! You're here too?"

The latter nodded and Cornelia shoved Nuparu aside and ran up to her. She immediately began blabbering about some psycho telepathic guy named Kongu and a load of other stuff Will didn't catch.

Hewkii walked into the room absently and sat down on a chair, staring at the floor and rubbing his chin, as if in serious thought. After a moment of silence, he looked up at Nuparu and said, "No, I still don't get the thing about the plants."

At this, Nuparu groaned and slapped his forehead, while everyone else present lifted an eyebrow, confused. "Long story," was the only explanation he gave them. Then, in an attempt to change the topic, he asked, "Where's Jaller?"

Matoro shifted but Kazi answered before he could. "Our good friend Jaller went off after Thok."

Nuparu stared at Matoro. "And you let him?"

Garan came to the Ice Toa's defense. "Well what was he supposed to do about it?"

Before the conversation could turn into a heated argument, Will timidly raised her hand, much like the way she would at school whenever she had a question.

"Yeah?" asked Matoro, eager to get Nuparu and Garan to stop arguing about Jaller.

"Um… you guys obviously know a lot about us – courtesy of some guy named Kongu – but who are you? I mean, I know your names, but what are you? Why are you here? Who was that guy who attacked me?"

"I figurethought that you would askquestions a lot, dimensionjumper."

There was no need to turn to know who had just arrived. Kongu was presently the only one on the entire island who spoke treespeak, not counting Lewa, who was missing in action. Hewkii grinned. "Hey, how come Nurapu can't control plantlife?"

The Toa of Earth grunted, walked forwards, and yanked Hewkii off his chair. He glared at the Toa of Stone. "Drop the plant thing."

Kongu chuckled, and turned back to Will. "Your friends quickcome soon, Guardian, with Toa-hero Hahli. But for now, I'll many questions answer.

"We are Toa-heroes, swornduty protect. Great Spirit Mata Nui put into deepsleep by evil Makuta, we come to find Ignika and wake him up. Creature attack you was bad-evil Piraka Thok. I see you are searching for Ignika as well. Great Beings give you this task, yes?"

"The Ignika…" With everything that had been happening, she had almost completely forgotten the reason they were there in the first place. And she guessed that the Oracle could be considered as a Great Being sort of thing… "Yes, that's right."

At that moment, the door opened for the fourth time. The other Guardians were there, along with another Toa. Hay Lin, Irma, and Taranee were obviously already well informed of the situation, if their confident expressions were anything to judge by.

Another thought flew through Will's mind and she found herself voicing it. "If you're here to retrieve the Ignika, do you know where it is?"

An uncomfortable silence descended upon the room, and for a moment Will thought she had made a mistake.

"Axxon does," commented Balta, ever so quietly.

The Titan and former Guardian of the Mask of Life was hanging near the Piraka Stronghold, after he had seen Jaller. He walked up to the Toa and grabbed his shoulder, causing the Toa to whirl around. The tip of Jaller's sword nicked the Titan's armor, but he didn't really care. When Jaller realized who he was, he relaxed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."

"And I shouldn't have snuck up on you." Though, coming from Axxon, it sounded more like a simple fact than an apology of any kind. He held out his other fist, (his axe was lying at his feet) which strangely seemed to be glowing. Slowly, he uncurled his fingers and revealed the source of the unnatural brilliance. There, in his palm, rested a glowing Zamor Sphere.

Jaller was intrigued. He leaned closer for a better view. Yep, it was a Zamor all right. Right size, right shape. Except it contained some substance other than the protodermis-filled ones he and the other Toa used or the antidermis ones of the Piraka. And that substance glowed, obviously.

"I'm giving it to you."

"What?" Jaller immediately backed away. "Why?"

Axxon curled his fingers again, covering the Zamor. He kept a steady intimidating gaze upon the Toa of Fire. "Do you refuse?"

"Well, no," stammered Jaller, "just that I don't know why I should have it, that's all. Why are you giving it to me?"

Axxon placed the glowing orb in Jaller's hands. "The Mask of Life needs protecting," he said, before picking up his weapon, slinging it over his shoulder with astounding strength, and walking away.

Jaller returned to the Voya Nui Resistance base, in the icy region of the island. The sudden drop in temperature was harsh, and he shivered. He had wrapped the Zamor in a piece of cloth.

He opened the door and found Kongu beaming at him. "Firespitter Jaller back," he announced.

Nuparu nodded. "Good." Then his eyes fell upon the bundle in Jaller's arms. "What'' that you got there?"

The Toa of Fire frowned. "None of your business." He wasn't ready to tell the others yet, not until he figured out what exactly the Zamor was for. He caught Kongu's gaze. The Toa of Air raised an eyebrow but made no comment.

Garan spoke. "We were just talking about the Ignika, and-"

"I think the Toa Nuva are in the Piraka Stronghold."

Nuparu nodded. "Yeah, we figured. But… you don't really think we can break into there, do you?"

Jaller shrugged. "We can try. Besides, wasn't that what we came here to do? Free the Toa Nuva?"

Author's Notes: Yeah, it was a crappy filler chappie. XD Sry, stuck on just about everything. I think I'll write a songfic/oneshot or two. you know, take a break from these things. :P
