BC4 - Flight

The six Toa Nuva took up positions around the chamber, their eyes fixed on the entrance to the darkened tunnel. From somewhere in those shadows came the roar of the creature Turaga Vakama swore no Toa could defeat. But the heroes of Mata Nui had no intention of giving up without a struggle.

“I will bait the beast,” Tahu said. “The rest of you close in on it from behind. We may fall, but by the Great Beings, this creature will know it has faced Toa!”

“Tahu, think,” Gali implored. “We have the Masks of Speed and Levitation. We can escape this chamber the same way we did the lair of the Bahrag — flight!”

Kopaka shook his head. “We could, Toa of Water — if not for that,” he said, pointing to the ceiling.

The hole through which they had fallen was gone now, replaced by dozens of sharpened stalactites. Even with the enhanced strength granted by the Kanohi Pakari, the Toa could never get safely past all those spikes.

“All right. Then we stay here,” Gali said firmly. “And we make sure someone regrets it.”

The guttural growl came again, closer this time. Onua, closest to the tunnel entrance, could hear the massive claws scraping against stone. “What is this thing, brothers? Nothing could be as large as it sounds.”
