(The Coliseum)
In the center of Metru Nui, a meeting was called by Turaga Dume for all the Matoran in Metru Nui concerning the disappearance of Toa Lhikan. The Nivawk that had spied on Devon, his friends and the Toa Metru made it's way toward the coliseum
The Coliseum was a massive building located at the center of Metru Nui and is considered to be pivotal to the society of the Great City. The Coliseum houses the power plant which produces energy for the entire city, generated by the flow of Liquid Protodermis underneath the building on its way to the rest of the city. The ground underneath the Coliseum is also a massive storage space used for items of critical significance to the city. The central arena was also housed here. The arena floor was made up of hundreds of Protodermis columns which could be raised or lowered at will. A complex system of retractable Chutes was also stationed in the Coliseum. Turaga Dume overlooked the arena in a specially made box that could be raised or lowered through use of increase weight and levitation. It was from here that Turaga Dume controlled the Telescreens located around the city
"It is with deep sorrow that I must inform you. Of the disappearance of our beloved Toa Lhikan. But with the help of the Vahki, order shall be maintained. Trust in me and soon all your concerns will be laid to rest." Turaga Dume says
Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, the Viking Teens, the Dragons and the Toa Metru arrive at the Coliseum through the archives. The Nivawk flies up to Turaga Dume's box and lands next to him. The Nivawk chatters to Turaga Dume
"Interesting." Dume says with a smirk
The group of heroes step out into the arena greeted by the cheers of the Matoran
"Hello, Metru Nui!" Matau says
The crowd of Matoran cheer
"I always wanted to loud-shout that." Matau says
Turaga Dume's box lowers down to the heroes. Turaga Dume had his eye on Vakama noticing he was no longer a Matoran
"Vakama." Dume says
Turaga Dume chuckles
"Matoran one day, Toa the next. No wonder you have not yet completed the Mask of Time." Dume says
Vakama sighs
"Forgive the delay, Turaga." Vakama says
"We present you with the Great Kanoka Disks and pledge ourselves as the new guardians of Metru Nui." Nokama says as she and the other Toa Metru hold up their Kanoka Disks
Turaga Dume chuckles
"Toa must prove themselves with deeds, not simple gifts." Dume says
Turaga Dume's box rises high up
"Matoran of Metru Nui, the Great Spirit has provided us with six new Toa who will undoubtedly demonstrate their worthiness on this field of honor." Dume says
The crowd of Matoran cheer
"Catch this, Fire-spitter." Onewa handing Vakama his Great Disk
The other Toa Metru hand Vakama their Kanoka disks as well
"What a waste." Whenua says
"So what now?" Astrid asks
"Well, we'll just have to prove ourselves." Devon says
"Cross the sea of Protodermis and be honored as Toa." Dume says
In Turaga Dume's box was a small minature version of the arena operated by five matoran. One matoran presses down on the minature arena and Protodermis columns begin rising. Down in the arena, the ground shakes and the group could hardly maintain their balance
"What do we do now?" Onewa asks
"We use the mask powers the Great Spirit gave us." Whenua says
The group looks ahead and saw a wave of Protodermis columns approaching them
"And just how do we do that?" Onewa asks
"Follow me! This way!" Nokama says
"C'mon!" Devon says to his friends
The group began moving toward the columns. They climbed the waves of columns and used every opportunity to prove themselves, but the arena was too unpredictable. Even Devon and his friends riding their dragons could not predict where the Protodermis columns were going to appear
"Behind you!" Onewa says
"Watch out!" Fishlegs shouts
"Time to quick-run!" Matau shouts
"Enough!" Dume says
The arena flattens out. The group were all beaten up by the columns. The crowd boos at their failure
"Let us praise these jesters. Perhaps they sought to entertain us during this difficult time. Or are they imposters?" Dume says
"No. We are Toa." Vakama says
"Responsible for Toa Lhikan's demise!" Dume says
The crowd continues to boo at the heroes
"No! It was them! They took him!" Vakama says pointing to Nidhiki and Krekka on the telescreens
"Seize them!" Dume says
The Vahki move in to subdue the heroes. The Matoran operating the minature version of the arena press down on it. The columns of protodermis began to shake and the arena filled with gusty wind
"Now what?" Whenua asks
The group looked ahead and saw the center of the arena now a gaping hole trying to suck them in
"I don't like this!" Fishlegs says
"Well let's not stand here! Run!" Snotlout says
They tried to flee fighting against the vacumn-like wind. Nuju couldn't go on any further and he took his Crystal Spike. Fishlegs and Meatlug couldn't fly fast enough to fight against the wind and Meatlug drove her claws into the ground both her and Fishlegs holding on for dear life
"Nuju, hang on!" Nokama shouts
"Fishlegs, Meatlug, hold on!" Devon shouts
Nuju lost his grip and was sucked into the hole. Soon after Nuju was sucked in, Meatlug lost her grip and both she and Fishlegs were sucked in along with Nuju
"I really don't like this!" Fishlegs shouts as he and Meatlug were sucked down the hole
"Fishlegs! Meatlug!" Devon cries out
Onewa and Whenua try to fight against the wind, but Onewa lost his footing and he was lifted off his feet. As he was sucked in, Onewa bumps into Whenua getting him sucked in too
"Brothers!" Nokama says
Snotlout held onto Hookfang as they held on to the ground trying to fight against the wind. Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch were right behind them. Just like Onewa, Hookfang lost his grip and was lifted off his feet by the wind. Snotlout and Hookfang were heading straight for the Twins
"Uh oh!" Tuffnut and Ruffnut shout in unison
Snotlout and Hookfang bump into the Twins and Barf and Belch and were sucked into the hole with them
"No!" Devon cries out reaching his left-hand out to them while holding on to Luna's saddle
Luna, Toothless and Stormfly drive their claws into the floor fighting against the wind while their riders held onto their saddles. Spyro and Cynder also drive their claws into the floor holding out against the wind. Nokama takes out one of her Hydro Blades and drives it into the floor. Matau takes one of his Aero Blades and drives it into the floor. Vakama was being sucked in by the wind, but Nokama manages to grab him by his foot. Nokama looks ahead of them and gasps. Infront of them was a whole group of Vahki unaffected by the wind. Nokama turns her attention toward the statue of Toa Lhikan and gets an idea
"Vakama! The statue! Bring it down!" Nokama shouts
Vakama takes out one of the Kanoka Disks and loads it into his Disk Launcher. He takes aim and fires. The red Kanoka disk heads straight for the legs of the statue. The statue slowly start to tilt backwards, but then it moves forward. The crowd immediately falls silent. Turaga Dume's face forms a small grin. The Vahki look up to the collapsing statue. The statue crashes onto the arena sending the Vahki flying into the air. The Vahki were caught by the vacumn-like wind and sucked into the hole. Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Vakama, Nokama and Matau make it out of the arena and retreat into the archives where they first entered the arena
"The new Toa must not interfere with the plan." Dume says as he begins to walk away
"They are mere Matoran in Toa armor. Their friends are of no conception. They will be taken care of. As is our duty, we shall not fail." Nidhiki says
(Moments Later)
Devon and the others make it out of the coliseum and arrive at one of the landing platforms for some of Metru Nui's airbourne vehichles. Down below were chutes that ran under the coliseum
"We've been betrayed." Vakama says
"We've got to save the others." Nokama says
"And to do that, we need to find our mask powers." Vakama says
"I agree, but we have to get out of here." Nokama says
"Look. Down there. There's a chute we can use." Devon says pointing down to the chute
"C'mon!" Nokama says
Nokama dives off the platform and into the chute
"What are you waiting for?" Matau says
Matau pushes Vakama off the platform
"Hey! Whoa!" Vakama says as Matau pushes him off
Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid and Stormfly fly off the platform and dive down into the chute following Vakama and Nokama. Nidhiki and Krekka exit the coliseum and was now in pursuit of the heroes. Matau jumps off and dives down toward the chute. Unfortunately, he lands flat smack on the outer layer of the chute. He soon sinks in and met up with the others. Devon, Hiccup and Astrid were flying through the chute on their dragons with Spyro and Cynder alongside them. Vakama was riding on one of the cargo traveling along with the chute. Nidhiki and Krekka were now searching for the group unaware they were traveling through the chute
"Do you think they went this way?" Krekka asks
Nidhiki sighs
"Why do I bother?" Nidhiki asks himself
(Elsewhere)
Turaga Dume was in his private chambers in the tower high above the Coliseum
"ThE mAsK oF tImE iS nOt YeT cOmPlEtEd."
"No, but when the Great Shadow falls, the Vahki will ensure every Matoran's fate." Dume says
(Moments later)
Devon and the others along with Vakama, Nokama and Matau were still traveling through the chute and continued to do so to escape Nidhiki and Krekka who pursued them
(Ko-Metru)
Nidhiki and Krekka realized that the heroes had to be using the chute system to elude them. So they forced a Le-Matoran named Kongu who was the Chute Monitor of the system to change the direction of the chute the heroes were in
"But the entire system could explode if I reverse the flows." Kongu says
Krekka held Kongu upside down by his feet
"Do it." Nidhiki says
Nidhiki threatened Kongu with his pincers forcing incentive
"Then again, it might work." Kongu says
Kongu pulls down on a lever. The flow of the chute system was stopped
(In the Chute)
Devon and the group felt that the chute they were in had stopped flowing. They all looked at each other confused
(Meanwhile)
Back in the Chute Control Room, the flow was reversed
(In the Chute)
The flow of the chute was now going in reverse and the group immedately felt this
"Whoa! Hang on!" Nokama says
Vakama and Matau slammed into the chute walls and were forced off the cargo they were riding. Nokama took her Hydro Blades and drove them into the bottom of the chute. Nokama's Hydro Blades penetrated the chute's layer and soon clinged onto the metal rims of the chute. Luna and Toothless used their claws and drove them into the layer of the chute. Their claws penetrated the layer of the chute and they clinged onto the metal rims. Stormfly managed to grab onto Luna's tail using her mouth trying not to bite completely down on her tail. Nokama lifts up her other Hydro Blade up to Vakama who grabs hold of it. Vakama grabs Matau by his foot. Soon, the heroes were holding on fighting the flow. Matau takes out one of his Aero Blades and penetrates the layer of the chute. Suddenly, a large piece of metal cargo was heading in the group's direction. It crashed into them and pushed them all out of the chute
(Elsewhere)
Having been captured, Onewa, Whenua, Nuju, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch were put in a large cell and taken prisoner. Fishlegs, Snotlout, Tuffnut and Ruffnut were sitting with their dragons while Onewa tried to make an escape. Onewa grabs hold of the air vent above him standing on Whenua's shoulders and tries to pull it loose to escape, but the vent was bolted tight
"We gotta get out of here!" Onewa says as he pulls on the vent cover with all his strength
Onewa gives up and stands on Whenua's shoulders
"Aw, this is just great. When I woke up, all I worried about was catalogging. Now I go down in history as Metru Nui's Most Wanted." Whenua says
"You? I'm the one suffering here stuck with a Ko-Matoran 'Big Brain' and an Onu-Matoran 'Stock Boy.'" Onewa says
"Hey!" Whenua says
"Not to mention I'm stuck here with a walking Dragon Manual and two dum Mutton heads." Snotlout says gesturing to Fishlegs and the Twins
Fishlegs sat depressed with his dragon Meatlug while Tuffnut and Ruffnut were rough housing with each other
"We will never escape." Nuju says
Nuju sits down on the ground
"Our freedom is gone. Our future is hopeless." Nuju says
"Toa?"
The group turn their attention toward a mysterious Turaga who shared their cell with them
"Giving up hope?"
(Ko-Metru)
Devon, Hiccup and Astrid were in the air flying their dragons in the cold snow storm while Nokama still held onto the metal rims of the chute with Vakama and Matau holding on
"Everyone alright?" Nokama asks
"We're good." Devon says
"Oh, sure fine. Just enjoying the view." Matau says
Suddenly, Vakama began to have another vision
"Vakama!" Nokama calls out
Multiple images began flashing through Vakama's mind
"VaKaMa."
This voice he heard was different from Nokama's voice. The next thing he knew, Vakama found himself standing in a white enviornment standing alongside a giant version of Toa Lhikan
"Toa Lhikan?" Vakama asks confused
As soon as Vakama touches Toa Lhikan's leg, Lhikan becomes the symbol of the Three Virtues which begins to spin rapidly with light. The symbol becomes a ball of light and shoots into the air like a comet. The enviornment became a starry night sky filled with countless stars. The comet explodes and that's when he heard Nokama's voice call out to him
"Vakama!" Nokama calls out
Vakama's vision began to fade
"Vakama!" Nokama calls out
Vakama soon recovered from his vision
"Another vision?" Nokama asks
Vakama shook his head still recovering
"How about less vision-seeing and more Toa-saving?" Matau says
Inside the chute, the cargo began colliding into Nokama's Hydro Blades causing them to slowly slip
"We're slipping!" Nokama shouts
"Hold on!" Devon shouts
Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid and Stormfly try to fly in close to help the three Toa, but the rough cold wind from the snow storm prevented them from reaching them
"This storm is causing the dragons problems. We can't get close enough to get you!" Devon shouts
"Can we make it to that tower?!" Vakama asks pointing to the tower that held up the chute
Nokama looks ahead and sees that the tower was a bit far from where they were
"We're gonna have to." Nokama says
Nokama began swinging back and forth with Vakama and Matau. Soon, Nokama's Hydro Blades lose their grip and the three Toa were in free fall. The Toa manage to make it to the tower and Nokama's Hydro Blades cling onto the inside of tower. Devon and his friends fly to the tower fighting the storm and land inside the tower. Matau whistles with relief
"That was fu-uhh!" Matau says before Vakama loses his grip on his foot
"Matau!" Vakama cries out
Matau was now in free fall
"Uh-oh." Matau says
Matau saw that he was quickly approaching the ground. Suddenly, his two Aero Blades appeared on his back and became large golden wings. Soon, Matau was flying through the air
"Has he found his mask power?" Vakama asks as he and Nokama climbs down the tower with Devon and his friends watching them
Matau continued to fly through the air
"Look at me! I can-ohh!" Matau says before he slams into a tower with Turaga Dume painted on it
Devon and the others along with Vakama and Nokama winced as Matau crashed
"Maybe not." Nokama says
"Wind...fly." Matau says as he slides down the tower
(Moments later)
The storm had ceased and the group was now on the ground. Matau and Nokama were talking amongst themselves while Devon, Hiccup and Astrid sat alongside their dragons and Spyro and Cynder
"Hey, Nokama. Nice move back there." Matau says
"Very nice." Nokama says
"And check out these wings." Matau says
While they were busy, Vakama was examining the Kanoka Disks
"One of these Great Disks has got to be the Mask of Time." Vakama says to himself
Suddenly, Vakama noticed that the red and blue Kanoka Disks of Ta-Metru and Ga-Metru were glowing and began to pull toward each other like a magnet making a distinct humming noise. Vakama pulled the two disks apart and looked at them. He then put them alongside each other and they both merged with each other combining into one disk making the same humming noise
"Remarkable." Vakama says
Vakama picks up the green Kanoki Disk of Le-Metru and held it alongside the other Kanoki Disk. Like before, the two disks merged into one disk making the same humming noise. Matau's wings had changed back into his two Aero Blades on his back while Nokama went to check up on Vakama
"Vakama, c'mon." Nokama says
"What? Uh, just a moment." Vakama says looking back toward Nokama before turning his attention back toward the Kanoki Disks
"Vakama, we've got to go." Nokama says
"But the disks-" Vakama says before he turns his attention toward the sky
Vakama gasps by what he sees
"Look!" Vakama exclaims
Everyone looks up toward the sky. They see a bright comet soar across the sky
"Toa Lhikan's Spirit Star. Each Toa has one. As long as it burns in the night sky, Toa Lhikan remains alive." Vakama says
"It is headed toward Po-Metru." Nokama says
"What about our captured Toa Brothers?" Matau asks
"And what about Fishlegs, Snotlout, and the Twins. We can't leave them." Astrid says
"We need Toa Lhikan to stop Turaga Dume and free the other Toa." Vakama says
"As well as our friends." Devon says
"And how do you propose we quick-catch a spirit star?" Matau asks
Everyone except Vakama who had his eyes glued to the Kanoka Disks saw a convoy of Vahki Transports crawling across the icy terrain not far from them
These Vahki Transports had six crab-like appendages in the front and the back and was large enough for Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Toothless and Stormfly and the rest of the group inside
"Perhaps a way has been revealed, Rider." Nokama says
Everyone rushed over to catch a ride on the transport. Nokama looked back and saw Vakama was still gazing at his Kanoka Disk
"Vakama!" Nokama calls out
Vakama immediately puts away the Kanoki Disk and rushes to catch up with the others. The group jumps onto the transport and heads inside. Once inside, they could see large pods put on the sides of the transport
"What are these?" Vakama asks
"Storage containers, but most odd-looking." Matau says
"These containers do look strange." Devon says
"But do they contain anything?" Luna asks
"I'm not sure." Devon says
Vakama places his hand on one of the pods. In that moment, Vakama has another vision. Multiple images flashed through Vakama's mind
(Vakama's Vision)
Vakama found himself floating infront of multiple pods. Suddenly, the pod infront of Vakama opens up. Inside was a Ga-Matoran. Vakama reaches his hand out to check on the Matoran, but the Matoran looks toward him with evil demonic eyes. Then, Vakama heard a dark voice calling his name
"VaKaMa."
(In the transport)
Vakama immediately recovers from his vision and backs away frightened by what he had just seen
"What? What is it?" Devon asks concerned for Vakama
"The Matoran! They're in danger!" Vakama shouts
Vakama opens the pod and looks inside panting heavily
"What do you see?" Nokama asks
Vakama looks inside and sees that the pod was empty. There was nothing inside. Vakama sighs with relief
"Nothing, sister. Nothing at all." Vakama says
"You're cross-wired." Matau says
(Elsewhere)
In the cell, Onewa, Whenua, Nuju, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, the Twins and Barf and Belch turn their attention to the mysterious Turaga
"Turaga. I know you not." Onewa says
"Yeah, who are you?" Snotlout asks
"Your concerns should be with your own identity, not mine. Freedom and escape are different objectives, but both aren't easily realized."
"You are stuck in here with us, so..." Onewa says
"I have freedom, even in here. But for escape, Toa mask powers are needed."
"I doubt we will ever get in touch with our mask powers." Nuju says
"Oh, never doubt what you are capable of. The Great Spirit lives through us all."
(Meanwhile)
Devon and the others were still riding the transports with Vakama, Nokama and Matau. Vakama was sitting away from the group sitting out by the back doorway of the transport. Nokama walks up to Vakama to check up on him
"Vakama, your destiny no longer lies in sculpting masks. You are a Toa." Nokama says
Vakama sighs
"I'll never be a real Toa. I can't even make a decent mask. I'm just a cross-wired freak who has weird dreams. Toa Lhikan, you got it wrong." Vakama says
Nokama kneels down to Vakama
"You will. Have faith." Nokama says placing her hand on Vakama's shoulder
Author's Note: Devon, his friends and the Toa Metru have been betrayed! By Turaga Dume! Upon arriving at the Coliseum where Turaga Dume and the Matoran have gathered, Turaga Dume blames the group for Toa Lhikan's disappearance. But Vakama knows well enough who was really responsible for Toa Lhikan's capture. Onewa, Whenua, Nuju, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, the Twins and Barf and Belch have been captured and taken prisoner while Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Vakama, Nokama and Matau manage to escape. The three captured Toa Metru and Viking teens have a surprise cell mate, a Turaga. Anyone care to guess who it is? Now Devon and the others have to come up with a plan to find Toa Lhikan and free the other Toa Metru and their friends. But how will they do it? Let me know what you guys think. No flames please. Hope you guys like and don't forget to review!
