Comic 19: Enemies of Metru Nui

“They say that Toa are very wise and always have good advice to give, so here is some. If someone walks up to you, hands you a Toa Stone, and tells you the city is depending on you...Don't walk. Run.”

— Toa Vakama

Opening

The Toa Metru traveled to the Coliseum, expecting to be hailed as heroes for finding the Great Disks and defeating the Morbuzakh. Instead, Turaga Dume branded them as imposters--and blamed them for Toa Lhikan's disappearance!

Onewa, Nuju, and Whenua have been captured. The remaining Toa Metru find themselves fugitives, hunted through the city they fought to protect. Their only hope: find Lhikan and clear their names.

But first they must escape the Vahki, guardians of order in Metru Nui. And no one escapes the Vahki...

Quotes

“Vahki are the order enforcement squads of Metru Nui. They decided we Toa were a threat to the Metru Nui's security, so they set out to restore peace, harmony, and safety for all...even if they had to destroy us to do it.”

— Vakama's thoughts

“And do what? And go where? Dume has called us traitors...the whole city is against us...the Matoran we want to protect are calling for our capture. Maybe the Turaga was right. Maybe we are just imposters...Matoran pretending to be Toa.”

— Nuju
