BC4 - Combined Flight

“I would rather not be here to see that,” said Onua. “We have all our Kanohi Nuva Masks. The time has come to return to the surface.”

“You took a great risk, Turaga,” said Tahu as they walked into the tunnel. “If you had failed…”

“Then someone else would have stepped into my place as Turaga,” answered Vakama. “Just as, someday, someone else may become Toa of Fire when your destiny has been fulfilled, Tahu.”

“You knew what the beast would do.”

“I hoped,” said Vakama. “But I had to get it so angry it would forget how it had been trapped before. Whenua would say it was defeated because it forgot the past… Nuju, that it did not think about the future.”

The Toa reached a dead end. Above them they could see the sky through an opening in the ceiling. “Now can we fly?” asked Gali, smiling.

The Mask of Levitation and the Mask of Speed combined to lift the Toa and Turaga aloft and carry them through the hole back onto the surface of Mata Nui. The Toa’s quest for the masks was at its end, but their true ordeal still lay before them. For now, questions about their future as a team, the secrets of the Turaga, and what destiny held in store for Mata Nui had to be put aside. Somewhere the Bohrok-Kal were waiting, and six Toa, still lacking their elemental powers, had to find a way to defeat them.

Far below, deep in the darkness, Makuta laughed. “Ah, Vakama, Turaga of smoke,” he rumbled. “Your secrets will be the end of the Toa yet.”
