Story
Now very exhausted but still with the energy of victory to spare, the Toa Metru made their way through the streets of Onu-Metru to the Coliseum. An Akilini tournament was going on, players zooming through the Coliseum arena, Matoran in the stands cheering on their team, and Dume himself presiding over the match. The Toa stopped everything when they walked in. Instantly, the Akilini match was stopped, and Dume stared wide-eyed at the new Toa. Regaining himself, he challenged the Toa to prove their worth on the field. The task: to get to the other side of the Silver Sea. Instantly, gears churned and the arena in the Coliseum turned to liquid, waves challenging the Toa. The Toa tried to go across, but they were tossed, thrown and strewn about. After just a short time, Dume stopped it, and proclaimed them impostors. Instantly the liquid arena was converted into a whirlpool, sucking in Onewa, Nuju and Whenua. Matau and Nokama escaped to outside of the Coliseum with Vakama, who had caused a huge Toa Lhikan statue to fall on the pursuing Vahki. They all jumped off of the side, into the Chutes, even as the Dark Hunters and Rorzakh closed in. The Dark Hunters threatened the Matoran named Kongu, who was in charge of the Chute System, so that he would reverse the flow of the Chutes. Being held in the palm of Krekka made it easier for Kongu to press the button, causing the Toa Metru to head backwards towards the Vahki. The Toa quickly jumped out of the chute, avoiding the many items flying by them. They hurried along, when Vakama had a vision. He saw Toa Lhikan, and then he transformed into another shape, bursting with light. Then he saw Lhikan's Spirit Star, shining overhead, floating toward Po-Metru ... then Nokama brought him back to reality. As they hid on a Vahki Transport going to Po-Metru, they observed odd Matoran Pods attached to it, six in all. Vakama then had another vision, of the spheres, darkness around him. He opened the sphere, and a Matoran was in it, in a coma-like slumber... he then opened one of the spheres, and found nothing.

The three Toa in prison were pacing, stuck and angry. They were bickering when a voice came from the shadows, and a robed figure, apparently a Turaga, was revealed, sitting in a meditative pose. He talked to the Toa, speaking about freedom even in prison and mask powers. Meanwhile, the Toa were in Po-Metru, the Vahki transport still crawling across Po-Metru. Vakama was busying himself by using his Firestaff to slowly merge the three Great Disks into the rough shape of a mask. They soon reached an Assembler's Village, and they jumped out while the Vahki Transport sped away. Staring around, they saw no one there, though there were still work hours. almost instantly, they were attacked by the Dark Hunter Krekka. The Dark Hunters and the Toa battled, destroying part of the village, but was stopped when an oncoming stampede of Kikanalo revealed exactly why the Matoran had abandoned the village. Nidhiki and Krekka jumped into a ditch, while the Toa hid in a small building. When the Kikanalo trampled the building, the Toa ran out and away from the stampede. However, Nokama stopped short. She had heard someone talk, and it wasn't the other Toa. She faced the swarm, and to Vakama and Matau's utter surprise, stopped the Kikanalo swarm by making the same sounds they made. She had found her mask power: translation. She talked with the Kikanalo, and learned they were enemies of the Dark Hunters too, and that they had seen the Hunters bring what they thought was a 'tall Matoran' to the Canyon of Unending Whispers, which was actually Toa Lhikan. So the Toa and the Kikanalo journeyed together, toward the canyon, wary of the dangers that might lurk there.

In the cell, the mysterious Turaga was giving them tasks. Nuju was carrying rocks from one point of the cell to the other, and Whenua was trying to navigate blindfolded. Onewa laughed at what he thought pathetic display, when the Turaga reprimanded him by explaining that a Toa's duty was to all Matoran, no matter what Metru they came from. The Turaga then handed him a rock and a blindfold, stunning Onewa.

Back in Po-Metru, The three escaping Toa Metru and their new Kikanalo allies watched a large group of Vahki Zadakh. Vakama then told his fellow Toa about his plan...

Back in the cell, Onewa joined Whenua and Nuju in their tasks of carrying over stones from across the cell, when Onewa and Whenua crash into each other. In anger, Whenua striped off his blind-fold and said that what they are doing is a waste of time; only to have the Turaga mention that without self-discovery, they would never find their destiny and what they were doing was every Toa's duty to Mata Nui.
