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. It was also the twelfth and final comic of the BIONICLE: Metru Nui sub-series.

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.
