Chapter 22
Seihu and Draku were standing with their weapons out. Seihu fell on the floor with his hand on the ground while breathing heavily; Draku looked behind him almost in accomplishment until he fell on the ground with a gash in his armor that spewed out darkness and Antidermis.
Seihu got back up and looked behind him. Draku got up determined to finish this battle.
But the Rahkshi didn’t give up so easily, Seihu was wondering how to end this battle, so he lured the Rahkshi into shooting the support of a Sculpture. Just as Draku was about to fire at Seihu, Seihu climbed up the sculpture and when Draku shot from his halberd, Seihu ricocheted off of it, flipped over Draku, and shot a penetrating beam of light that went through the gash in Draku’s armor to the Kraata inside of it. Just when Seihu landed, he sprinted and jumped at the Rahkshi. Once Seihu jumped, his feet lit up with a devastatingly bright light and he kicked the Rahkshi into the Sculpture, in a way that combines the flight of a Gukko with the kick of a Fusa. The crash caused the sculpture to collapse on Draku, ending his life once and for all.
Seihu managed to get the strength to stand up and leave.
Draku laughed in a fatigued manner, “You foolish Toa, while you were wasting your time fighting me, all the Vahki and the Dark Hunters, Dume has the Matoran in the transport. You can’t rescue them all now.”
Meanwhile, in the Colusium, Yahru woke up in the sphere. He didn’t know where he was, but knew that he had to get out.
Once he opened the sphere’s window, he saw the Kraahu guarding it left and right.
“That will change” Seihu panted heavily while looking at the Coliseum and pointing his finger to Draku.
Then he went to the Coliseum, to get Yahru and help with rescuing the rest of the Matoran.
Seihu raced to the Coliseum to go after the Matoran.
While he raced over to the Coliseum, Seihu noticed that a Gukko was flying near him and signaled to Seihu to climb on. Seihu noticed that his Carigi was perched on the Gukko’s back, and Seihu jumped on and the Gukko and flew over to the Coliseum.
Yahru noticed that most of his weapons and tools were gone except a vial of water that he forgot that he had.
Yahru had to figure out how to get out of this situation. The one thing he remembered was an exercise that Seihu taught him that involved getting out of tight spaces.
Yahru looked for any cracks in the sphere and found a few small ones.
Yahru sat meditatively to compose himself, once he gathered up enough internal energy he dented the sphere enough to grab the Kraahu’s attention. Once the Kraahu noticed, it was too late. Yahru used the vial of water he had, and doused the Kraahu all over, short circuiting it.
Yahru then grabbed one of the Kraahu’s legs/tools, and used it to make a bigger opening on the outside of the Matoran Sphere, enabling him to escape.
When Seihu got to the Coliseum, he noticed four Vahki transports, three of them close to the Telescreen and one that was coming in. Seihu was about to go in, when he hid somewhere and looked intently at the fourth Vahki transport and found one Toa driving the Vahki transport, Matau; and five other Toa, Vakama, Nokama, Nuju, Whenua and Onewa leaving the ship and going after the three Vahki Transports.
Seihu whispered, “The six Toa made it…” as he kneeled on the floor tired.
Then Seihu saw a red and gold familiar looking Turaga leaving that same ship,
“Wait, it can’t be.” Seihu thought, “Lhikan?!” Seihu caught on and found out that the Turaga was Lhikan.
As they ran for the Vahki transports, Dume yelled “Too late, Toa”.
Just then “Dume” took off his mask and revealed to be Makuta.
“The Shadow has arrived” Makuta declared.
When Seihu saw that, he felt a chill through his body and was almost paralyzed at the sight of Dume’s true identity.
“Makuta” Seihu whispered with a slight quiver in his voice…
