Bionicle 3: Web of Shadows Page #3

It's not much of a plan, but it is one.

Toa! Vakama!

That name means nothing to me.

It did once.

It can again.

That's true!

It can, if you want to be weak again.

Never!

You are everything

I had hoped you'd be.

Come. It's time

you had a glimpse of your future.

Quickly! We must hurry.

As the Toa Hordika

followed the trail of falling tears,

Norik was sure that it would lead them

to the legendary Keetongu.

As our brave heroes struggled

through a most treacherous journey

across the island of Metru Nui,

the shadow of the Visorak horde

was never far behind.

As the noble group followed

the stream of tears to Ko-Metru,

the deserts turned into great mountains

of frozen protodermis,

and its silvery surface

led the brave travellers

to a strange and wondrous place.

Ah, thetears...

They do reach the sky!

The throne will soon

be yours, Vakama.

Go ahead. Touch it.

You can look, Vakama,

but don't touch.

I wanted to thank you personally.

Because of you, the Rahaga

will be put where they belong -

in a cage.

It is just the beginning

of what he can offer you.

Is that so?

It is, my king.

Vakama is my gift to you,

a fitting master for your horde.

Hordika or not,

there's only one of him.

Which is why the other Toa

are on their way here.

With Vakama leading your horde,

they will be captured and trained

just like him.

Will all six be enough to please you?

Afineoffer, Roodaka.

Consider it an engagement gift.

Well, then.

Allow me to introduce you

to the horde.

You know, Vakama,

we're really very much alike,

you and l.

That was a compliment, Vakama.

Oh, thank you, my king.

Oh, think nothing of it.

Such is the generosity of my rule.

My horde is an obedient one.

They will do anything you command.

Unless I command differently,

of course.

Of course.

Good.

Now, then.

Behold the Visorak horde.

Perhaps you'd like to say a fewwords?

Hurry, you guys! It's amazing!

It's Keetongu!

Not.

Don't be so quick to judge, Matau.

We are sorry to disturb your rest,

noble one,

but the duty of these Toa

requires they ask for your help.

OK.

Well, we'd like to stay and chat,

but we gotta go.

Whoa.

Is everyone seeing this?

Toa.

Keetongu.

Is it everything I promised you?

We'll soon find out.

Yes.

Anightofgreatconsequencefalls.

Be ready.

Before it is over,

many things will change.

How is the horde, Vakama?

Obedient.

And ready.

..and then we were chased

by the Visorak,

all of which is why we came here,

and why we need your assistance.

Will you help us get Vakama back?

No.

Well, thanks just the same.

We'll be going, then.

Keetongu cannot start

a battle on your behalf...

but he can aid those

loyal to the three virtues.

In fact,

doing so is his sworn duty.

So he'll change us back into

our good-looking, Toa-hero selves?

- No.

- Aw.

Keetongu sees with one eye

what we have missed with all of ours.

If you are to save Vakama,

you must use

your new forms and abilities,

not be rid of them.

So we've come all this way

just to find out

we didn't have to come all this way!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

He thinks it's funny, too.

Ha ha ha. Right. Funny.

That's what I was thinking.

But your story and devotion to your friend

has touched Keetongu.

He finds your quest worthwhile.

And...?

And he would like to offer us his help.

Unity!

You too, big guy.

Vakama!

Nokama.

Remember, Vakama,

you don't need them anymore.

You've made a grave mistake

coming here!

We came here to save you.

The only ones you can save now

are yourselves.

Bow down

and pledge your allegiance to me.

AndtoSidorak.

Andwhenwedon't?

I will make you.

- Ready?

- Do you think this is gonna work?

- Aim.

- Ask me again in a minute.

Nokama?

Now!

Let's go!

Fire!

Hey, wait for me!

Let's go!

Whoo-hoo! Catch you guys later!

Where's Matau going?

- There's too many of them.

- Let's just do it.

Quick, jump!

Still that sound.

- What is that?

- I guess it's Keetongu.

But Keetongu doesn't exist.

Obviously, you're wrong about that.

I'll take care of him.

No, Vakama.

It is not your place.

It is that of a king.

If Keetongu wasn't a myth before,

he soon will be.

Stay here.

And be ready.

Look out!

Put me down!

You want down? You got it.

Your place is with us.

We're here to rescue the Matoran.

- The Matoran?

- You remember, don't you?

Vakama!

Yes!

I'm almost impressed.

Well, that's that.

No...

I mean, shouldn't we be certain?

If doing so

would make you feel better.

It would.

What has happened to you?

You know, outside the obvious?

Nokama! Here!

Whoa!

The final blow is yours, Roodaka.

Where are you going?

- Finish him.

- You do it.

But I can't defeat him myself.

I know.

Roodaka?

No! No! No!

Soon, Makuta.

Norik!

Oh, no! I'm caught!

This is it. Without Vakama,

we are destined to fail.

Mind if we lend a hand?

Whoo-hoo!

Thanks, Norik. I owe you one.

You are weak,

brother.

You're right, Vakama. I am weak.

So, at the end you see the truth.

We all make mistakes, Vakama.

That's what happens when

you're brave enough to make decisions.

- I understand that now.

- I don't believe that coming from you.

- Wait!

- Not for long.

I'm sorry for doubting you.

Our strength comes

from our unity, Vakama,

which means you can't

be strong without us.

I'm better and stronger alone.

I don't believe that,

and I don't think you do, either.

You're our leader, Vakama.

You're my leader.

We've got a job to do,

a duty.

The Matoran.

Rescuing them is our destiny.

It's your destiny.

And if there's any of the Vakama

I know left, he'll know what to do next.

Matau, don't!

Matau!

I'm coming!

- Matau!

- Vakama!

Hang on. I've got a plan.

Come and get it!

No!

- We are surrounded.

- There's too many of them.

What do we do now?

Oh, I don't like this.

You have something I want.

Your elemental powers.

Earth. Stone.

Ice. Water.

Fire already belongs to me.

Wait.

One's missing.

That would be air.

And he's all yours, my queen.

Thank you, Vakama.

Now, about those powers...

You want them so bad? Take them.

All right,whofiredtheticklespinner?

Fools! You, like your powers,

are nothing if you are not united,

and as Vakama stands with me...

Actually, I wanted

to talk to you about that.

You might defeat me,

Vakama, but not all of them.

Strike me down and they will

surely destroy you and your friends.

Think about it.

I have. And seeing as you convinced

Sidorak to put me in charge of them...

Get out of here, all of you!

You're free.

That's an order.

Traitors!

You can't betray

someone you're enslaved to.

And to think I thought

you could be king.

I lead only those

that choose to follow.

That's the difference between

being a leader and a tyrant like you.

Acertain Toa taughtmethat.

No, Vakama, don't!

Vakama.

You have no idea

what you've just done.

Her heartstone...

It's Makuta's.

Yes, carved from the same protodermis

you sealed the Makuta with.

In destroying it,
