Comic 14: At Last -- Takanuva!

"Already, I know he waits...Waits for the one who will finally defeat him and free Mata Nui from his shadow. But to end Makuta's reign, both of us must become more than what we are."

- Takanuva

At Last -- Takanuva! was the fourteenth issue of the original BIONICLE comic series, and was mailed with the September/October 2003 edition of LEGO Magazine. It introduced Takanuva, the Toa of Light.

Opening
''Lewa, Tahu, and Gali buried under tons of rubble... Pohatu, Onua, and Turaga Whenua trapped in a cave with thousands of kraata... the Toa's first encounters with the Rahkshi have led to crushing defeat. Now only Kopaka stands between the Rahkshi and their goal: stopping the Seventh Toa from saving Mata Nui.''

As Takua and Jaller search for the missing Toa, the heroes of Mata Nui wage a desperate struggle to protect them from the Rahkshi--enemies of limitless power, who will stop at nothing to serve Makuta's will.

''The shadows are closing in on Mata Nui... and there seems to be no Toa of Light in sight.''

Note: This story takes place during the events of BIONICLE: MASK OF LIGHT''.
