BC3 - Magnetism

By then the creatures had nearly reached the Toa Nuva. One of them, the one with the reddish-colored armor, stepped forward.

“We are the Bohrok-Kal,” it announced in a hard, smooth voice. “We search for Cahdok and Gahdok, queens of the swarms.”

Pohatu’s eyes widened in surprise. The queens? So he had been right — these must be a strange sort of Bohrok. The original swarms had been controlled by the queens. But these creatures seemed to function all on their own.

“Tell us where you have hidden the Bahrag, and then stand aside. We have no wish to harm helpless foes.”

“Helpless?” Lewa exclaimed, charging forward. “Toa Nuva are never helpless!”

The Bohrok-Kal raised its greenish metal shield. “No amount of speed can save you from my magnetic force,” it said coldly as a wave of power rippled out from the shield’s surface.

Lewa was stopped in place so quickly that he nearly toppled over. “My feet!” Lewa cried. “Magnetized to the ground! I can’t move!”

Onua grabbed an enormous boulder and lifted it above his head. Even without his elemental powers, his strength remained awesome.

Before he could throw the boulder, another Bohrok-Kal lifted its shield and sent a wave of concentrated power toward it. “Your rock is no threat, Toa Nuva,” the creature said as the boulder dissolved into magma. “And neither are you. Give us Cahdok and Gahdok — now!”

Tahu leaped toward Gali, Pohatu, and Kopaka. His mask was glowing brightly.

“The Mask of Shielding will protect us for now,” Tahu said as his mask’s force field surrounded himself and the other three Toa. “Bohrok-Kal, your quest must fail — the creatures you seek have vanished from Mata Nui.”
