BL10 - Fog

“You’re too late,” the Toa of Fire said, trying his best to sound confident. “We already have the mask. It’s with Pohatu and the others. They’re using it to destroy your brothers even now.”

“Ridiculous!” snapped Bitil. “An obvious trick, one I can expose with ease.” He concentrated, sending a telepathic flash up to one of the Makuta who lurked in the skies far above. But the message he received back was obviously not what he had been expecting.

“Speak, Bitil,” said Krika, impatiently. “How stands the Brotherhood?”

“The Mask of Life…” Bitil said, stunned. “It’s there… it’s become a Toa warrior… and Icarax has already fallen before its power.”

Tahu glanced at Gali and Onua. Both looked just as surprised as the three Makuta. The Mask of Life was a Toa now? It was fighting? What was going on here?

“Time for us to go,” Tahu mouthed, no sound escaping his lips.

Gali nodded. She triggered her elemental power, adding more and more moisture to the air in the immediate area until a dense fog began to form. As soon as they were hidden from view, Onua rapidly dug a tunnel in the soft earth. The three Toa vanished into it and were gone by the time the fog dispersed.

“They’ve escaped!” yelled Gorast. “We must pursue!”

Krika sighed. “Of course we must. We don’t want this to be too easy for them now, do we? Bitil, stop worrying about Icarax — he was a miserable heap of Zivon spittle and no great loss.”
