BC4 - Lift Tree

Of all the regions of Mata Nui, Le-Wahi was easily the most difficult to travel through. The air was heavy with rain and the ground was mostly mud. The farther one went into the heart of the wahi, the denser the jungle growth became. Even for Toa, hacking through vines every step of the way was exhausting.

However, if Tahu and Lewa were tired, the sight that met their eyes in the center of the swamp was enough to wake them up. A grove of trees had been torn out of the ground, roots and all, and piled on top of one another to block the path.

An even worse surprise waited when Tahu tried to lift one of the trees. Even without the Great Mask of Strength, a Toa should have been able to toss a swamp tree aside. But this one felt like it weighed twice as much as Mount Ihu. After three tries, Tahu gave up.

“Nuhvok-Kal has been here,” he said. “This is its work.”

“How could a Bohrok-Kal do this?”

“It controls gravity, Lewa. First, it makes the trees so light that they float out of the ground… then so heavy that they crash to earth and cannot be moved. You, of all Toa, should know that.”
