Comic 17: Disks of Danger

"In the time before time, the great city of Metru Nui faced disaster. Six Matoran were chosen by fate to become Toa Metru, heroes for a city of legends... A vision told me that the key to saving Metru Nui were six legendary Great Disks, one hidden in each metru. But the only Matoran who could lead us to the Disks secretly wanted the artifacts for themselves. And it seemed certain one of the planned to betray us all."

Disks of Danger was the seventeenth issue in the original BIONICLE comic series, the second in the Metru Nui sub-series, and part two of the City of Legends story. Is was mailed with the March/April 2004 edition of the LEGO Magazine.

Opening
''The Toa Metru have succeeded in their first task, finding and rescuing six missing Matoran. Only these six know the locations of the Great Kanoka disks, which the Toa believe are key to defeating the devastating menace of the Morbuzakh plant.''

''Each of the legendary disks is hidden in a location accessible only to one with the powers of a Toa. But retrieving them will force the Toa Metru to face fearsome Rahi, powerful natural forces, and other perils. With each second that passes, more of the city crumbles to ruin as the Morbuzakh tightens its grip ...''

The race to save Metru Nui has begun.
