BC2 - Get Down

Noticing that the other four Toa had disappeared through the wall, Pohatu took a deep breath. If they could do it, he could do it, too.

Stand aside, wall, he thought with a rueful smile. If I can’t get through you with my fists and feet, I suppose this way will do.

Trusting his comrades’ wisdom, he flung himself at the wall. This time, instead of bouncing off, he stumbled right through.

He found himself standing with the others in a small chamber lit by a strange greenish glow.

“What about Tahu?” Onua said. “We can’t leave him back there.”

The others agreed. But before they could figure out what to do, Lewa pointed out that the ground was getting hot. Was it more lava? Or —

“Everyone down,” Kopaka barked. “NOW!”

Kopaka rarely gave an order, but there was no disregarding his urgent tone this time. They all flung themselves to the floor — just as the cavern exploded around them.

Dirt, stone, and lava flew in every direction. In the midst of it was a tall red figure.

“Tahu!” Lewa cried. “Are you alright?”

Tahu nodded. Then, a little breathless, he explained that he’d used his sword to heat the air in the cavern where he’d been trapped — the heart of the Bohrok nest itself. The air pressure had finally blown apart the nest, scattering the remaining Bohrok to the far corners of the tunnels.

Before the others could figure out what that might mean, they felt the ground giving way beneath them. The cavern floor groaned and split.

“Uh-oh,” Pohatu cried. “Looks like things are going downhill again.”
