Comic 7: What Lurks Below

"You are an obstacle. You do not belong. You will be removed."

- Cahdok

What Lurks Below was the seventh issue of the original BIONICLE comic series and the fourth part of The Bohrok Saga storyline. It was mailed together with the July/August edition 2003 edition of LEGO Magazine.

Opening
''The Toa descended beneath the surface of Mata Nui in search of the true power of the Bohrok. What they have found is danger in the form of a Tahnok swarm and a tidal wave of molten lava...''

''If the Toa survive these perils, they will discover at last the ancient mystery unlocked by the krana... a source of power greater than any the heroes of Mata Nui have ever known. But will even that power be enough to stop Cahdok and Gahdok, the twin rulers of the swarms?''

''The final hours are counting down... and the ultimate struggle for the fate of Mata Nui is about to begin.''

Quotes
"I see something up ahead--a hatch opening. More Bohrok? No. Something far mightier than any Bohrok could be. This island suffered much at the hands of the Bohrok...Its rivers frozen, its mountains crumbled, its jungles reduced to ruin...but by all the power that is mine, I swear--MATA NUI SHALL BE FREE!!"

- Tahu

"Fools! By bringing us together, you increase our power! Now Mata Nui will be as it was in the before-time! All that does not belong will be removed...beginning with you!"

- Gahdok
