Comic 27: Fractures

"This are getting much worse in the city...the Visorak are speeding up their conquest...capturing Rahi in their cocoons...and turning them into monsters. Worse, when they run out of Rahi...who's to stop them from starting on the sleeping Matoran?"

- Toa Hordika Matau

Fractures was the twenty-seventh and final issue of the original BIONICLE comic series, as well as the twelfth and final comic of the Metru Nui sub-series. It was shipped with the November/December 2005 edition of the LEGO Club Magazine. This finale saw the Toa Hordika gear up for their final assault on the Coliseum.

Opening
''The Toa Hordika are preparing to mount an attack on the Coliseum, now headquarters for the Visorak horde and site of the Matoran captivity. Sent to scout ahead, Toa Hordika Nokama and Toa Hordika Matau have managed to infiltrate a Visorak guard tower by sneaking in under a battle ram. But Roodaka has ordered that particular ram to be burnt in the furnaces ...''

''Meanwhile, the other Toa Hordika launch a plan to capture the tower, the sole guard post on the way to the Coliseum. Little do the heroes know that before all is done, one of their number will have betrayed them.''

The final battle begins now.

Quotes
"Too bad that one Visorak wasn't so lucky. I'll never get all of him scraped off my feet."

- Nokama

"Long they became Hordika, they were prisoners of their own natures--trapped by the role of "hero." They will come to us because they have no choice. Could they be Toa and do anything less? They will come to us...and we will destroy them."

- Roodaka

"Not so very long ago, six canisters washed up on the shores of an island called Mata Nui...Six heroes emerged from those canisters and dared to challenge the darkness. But these canisters to not carry Toa...and this is not Mata Nui...and on this island...the darkness has already won."

- Narration
