BC2 - Summon Storm

“This is crazy,” Onua called from somewhere nearby. “They aren’t harming the villagers; they ignore us unless we get right in their way! So why all this chaos?”

“I don’t know,” Pohatu said. “But we have to stop them!”

Everywhere Lewa looked he saw more of the strange creatures. “But how?” he exclaimed. “There are so many of them!”

Tahu knew they had to do something fast if there was any hope of saving his village. Suddenly he had an idea.

“Lewa!” he cried. “Gali! Combine your powers!”

Raising their arms, Lewa and Gali summoned the winds and the rain. Soon a mighty storm raged above the peak.

KA-BOOOOOOM!

An enormous blast of lightning rocked the valley in front of the village. The destructive beasts were tossed high into the air, sparking and shrieking. As they landed, they scuttled for shelter. Soon all had disappeared.

All but one. It lay damaged and stunned, legs waving weakly in the air.

“They’re gone for now,” Pohatu commented, bending over the injured creature. “They left us a prisoner, too. But what’s in its head?”

The others gathered around for a better look at their new enemy. The sloping shield that covered its head had been thrown back by the impact. A glowing, green object lay inside.

Before they could figure out what it might be, a voice spoke from behind them. “I know the answers you seek, though I wish I did not.”

It was the leader of the villagers of Ta-Koro. “Turaga Vakama!” Pohatu said. “What is it? What are these creatures?”

The Turaga sighed. “We have known the legends of the Bohrok for centuries, and we prayed they were only legends. But the Bohrok are real — all too real. And they are swarming over all of Mata Nui.”

“Tell us more,” Tahu ordered, stepping forward to face his village’s Turaga. “We need to know what we face.”

Vakama nodded. “It is said the Bohrok sleep an eternal sleep, waiting to hatch. Once awakened, the swarms are unstoppable — a force so powerful, they can reduce mountains to rubble and turn rivers dry as the desert sands. These creatures do not work alone.”

“Right,” Pohatu said. “They have those smaller creatures with them — like little scouts or something.”

“Those are the Bohrok Va,” Vakama said. “And you are right — they are smaller, quicker creatures that act as scouts and couriers. But that’s not what I mean. You see, each Bohrok carries within it a krana.”
