Neira, Lyaa, Photoran, Ohkai, Kirya, and Kinox, now protons, flew toward their destination at light speed, toward the 10 mio tall being of metal. At the same time, somewhere inside the being's head. A small spark of life energy released by Mata-nui before being sealed within the mask wandered through the great barrier, searching for something... It came upon a field of ice, encased in it were hundreds of rahi, and in a corner lay the still form of an onu-matoran, the Rau on his face was knocked askew. The spark settled on the small black matoran, and melted the ice around, simultaneously bringing him to life and causing him to become a much larger creature- a toa. The new toa awoke, rubbing his head and shivering. The first thing that came to his mind was- The rahi! he sat up and saw the vast frozen battlefield around him. He got up and realized he was a lot taller than he remembered. He looked down and noted with surprise that he had become a toa. He gasped, "Am I... a toa?" He tapped his armor, "Yes... I am!" He involuntarily activated his mask power and heard voices below him, "It's a toa, do you think we can reach it?" Another voice answered, "No, that ice was a bio thick yesterday, and the day before, it will still be a bio thick today!" Mavrah looked down and realized he was hearing a pair of Takea sharks. He instantly knew, "I have a great mask of translation! This is better than... anything I've lived through! Except maybe the discovery of the first rahi..." He then remembered the death of most of his "friends" and sunk into the puddle below him. "What will I do now?" A voice broke in, Follow your heart, go south as far as you can, follow the left leg and discover the island you were destined for. Mavrah was no fool, he realized what he was hearing, "Mata-nui! You are awake!" The voice returned ''Aye, but only in you. My voice is unheard for others, for I used my power of life to revive you from the icy grave you made for yourself.'' Mavrah nodded, "I shall do as you say, Great Spirit." As if by magic, a Lohrak flew into the chamber, and noticed the toa standing at the edge. Mavrah used his mask to call it over, "Lohrak friend, can you take me somewhere?" Even with the mask of translation, its voice still sounded like a hiss, "The brother of the Makuta can be heard in your voice. I accept." Mavrah wondered why the Lohrak referred to Makuta, but climbed on its back nonetheless. The flying serpent took off heading toward the south.
