BL8 - Adaptive Armor Description

Tahu swiftly described the Toa Nuva’s most recent adventures, including the freeing of the imprisoned Bahrag, the downfall of the realm of Karzahni, and the assault on the island of the Dark Hunters. Artakha said nothing, merely listened.

When Tahu was finished, there was a long period of silence. Then the snow and sleet were gone, replaced by warmth and sunlight. When the ice melted away from the Toa, it left behind gleaming masks and armor on the ground at their feet.

“You have done all that has been asked of you, and more,” said Artakha. “You have earned these masks and armor. Wear them well, for they are perhaps my greatest creation. Wherever you journey, they will adapt to your surroundings. No terrain, no climate, no wind or wave will ever again be your master.

“Now you must leave here. The time has come at last for the Great Spirit Mata Nui to awaken — and you must be the ones to bring him back to those who need him.”

“Wait!” said Tahu Nuva. “Let us see you!”

“Come with us!” said Onua Nuva, Toa of Earth. “Your aid would be welcome, Artakha.”

“No,” said Artakha, even as the Toa Nuva’s vision began to blur. “Where you travel, you must travel alone.”

A moment later, the island of Artakha was gone — or so it seemed. In fact, the Toa Nuva had been transported from the island by the power of its ruler. When their vision finally cleared, they were in midair, high above a strange Matoran village. Somehow, their armor had shifted in a hundred ways, making it possible for them to stay aloft. But there was no time to wonder about that — all around them, a battle raged in the sky.

“Go, Toa Nuva,” the voice of Artakha echoed throughout this new land. “Go and find your destiny at last!”
