His worrying was interrupted by an angry hum that filled the chamber.  Zaktan's right arm had extended toward Avak, and a swarm of protodites now engulfed the brown Piraka.  Normally, the creatures were too small to be seen by the naked eye, but in the trillions they made up a greenish mass that writhed like a tentacle.  Avak hit the floor and rolled as the swarm flew into his eyes.  Hakann made no move to help, just stood by and watched as if it were all staged for his entertainment.
	Avak fought a growing sense of horror.  The protodites didn't sting, but their sheer numbers threatened to suffocate him.  He opened his mouth to scream, only to have the tiny creatures swarm into it.  A cloud of green threatened to be the las thing he would ever see.

In that instant Zaktan thrust his blade into a gap in the Toa's armor.
	Tahu expected to feel a piercing wound, but what happened instead was far worse.  As the blade struck, it disintegrated into millions of protodites who swarmed through his organic tissue.  The pain was searing, overwhelming,  and Tahu Nuva could not help but scream.  As unconsciousness claimed him he teetered on the edge of the cliff and fell.
