Comic 5: To Trap a Tahnok

To Trap a Tahnok was the fifth issue of the original BIONICLE comic series and the second part of The Bohrok Saga sub-series. It was mailed with the March/April 2002 edition of LEGO Mania Magazine.

Summary
Pohatu and Gali, with the help of Onua and Kopaka, have set a trap for a group of Tahnok. When they hear them coming, Pohatu releases a mighty flood held back by a wall of ice, trapping the Tahnok in a water filled canyon. Gali would then retrieve the krana inside the submerged Bohrok. But they didn't count on the water being at boiling temperatures, probably caused by the Tahnok, which makes Gali's dive harder. Meanwhile, Tahu is giving the Ta-Matoran a motivational speech when Kopaka appears with knowledge of the Krana and another secret (Which is revealed to be the location of the Bohrok in the next issue). Meanwhile, Gali has managed to collect most of the krana, but then 3 Bohrok melted through the rock wall a made a massive boulder that almost crushed Gali. She manages to escape but the Tahnok are in hot pursuit. She and Pohatu escape with the krana. Gali is then concerned for the fact that she hasn't heard from Lewa in days since he left for Le-Koro when she and Pohatu are about to be ambushed by two Gahlok. Meanwhile Lewa is in Le-Wahi wearing a Krana Za.
