arrival
Six comets, including an East Asian comet, fell on Ogoto. The fiery comet lands first.
Narrator: A bright light fell from the sky above Ogoto Island and fell to the ground like a hot rock.
As Tuff emerged from the fire, Flame Keeper Narmoto and the other villagers of Flame Village approached the fire.
Narrator: A skilled defender led the villagers to the bonfire. He held his breath as he saw a figure emerge from the flames.
Byrne: (sighs) Where is this? who Is it me?
Narmoto released a fireball from his hand.
Narmoto: You are Tafuu, Lord of Fire, and you have been sent to us!
Byrne: What are you talking about? Why was I sent here?
Narmoto: Evil is rising and you are here to defeat it!
Tahu’s shadow hangs over everyone in the village. Behind the crowd stands the boy in Tahu’s heart.
Narrator: Tuff looks at the villagers. His mind was full of questions, but he couldn’t remember who he was or what he was capable of.
Byrne: Me? What do I know about overcoming evil?
Narmoto throws a fireball and transforms into Okoto’s form, and each warrior’s face appears in his area.
Narmoto: It was prophesied that one day six heroes would come and set out on a journey to find the golden light that would unlock great power.
Byrne: How do you know…
The villagers are bored.
Tahu: Is that what I’m talking about?
Narumoto points behind Tuff, causing the villagers to panic.
Narmoto: No, a skeleton spider is chasing you!
Three skeleton spiders flew through the sky, howling. As Tuff raised his shield, one of the spiders hit it, causing it to slide off. Tuff became confused and swerved to the right, then to the left, each time hitting another shell spider. He raises his right hand to the audience, clenches it into a fist, and tries to catch the shell spider. Everyone was surprised. Tahu groaned as the villagers bowed to him.
Narmoto: Mr. Tuff, are you still doubting your destiny?
Narbent lowered his staff and removed his robes, revealing his muscular body. With a click, the gun flew from his shoulder behind him as he held both hands.
Narben: Come with me! We have no time to waste!
The original text
The Arrival
The six comets containing the Toa rain down on Okoto. The fire comet lands first.
NARRATION: A bright light fell from the sky above the island of Okoto, crashing into the ground like a burning rock.
Narmoto, Protector of fire, and other fire villagers approach a fire as Tahu steps out from it.
NARRATION: The wise Protector led the local villagers to a crater of fire. They held their breath as a figure stepped out of the flames
TAHU: (groaning)Where am I? Who am I?
Narmoto produces a fireball from his hand.
NARMOTO: You are Tahu, the Master of Fire, and you have been sent to us!
TAHU: What are you talking about? Why would I be sent here?
NARMOTO: An evil is rising, and you are here to defeat it!
Tahu’s shadow is cast over all the villagers. At the back of the crowd, the child stands within Tahu’s head.
NARRATION: Tahu looked around the villagers. His head held many questions, but no memory of who he was or what he was capable of.
TAHU: Me?? What do I know about defeating evil?
Narmoto casts a fireball that becomes an image of Okoto with each Toa’s mask in their respective region.
NARMOTO: It has been foretold that one day six heroes, the Toa, would arrive and go on a quest for golden masks to unlock each of their great powers.
TAHU: How do you kno–
The villagers gasp.
TAHU: W-was it something I said?
Narmoto points behind Tahu as the villagers cower.
NARMOTO: No, it’s those skull spiders behind you!
Three skull spiders shriek as they fly through the air. Tahu raises his shield and one of the spiders slams into it and slides down. Tahu quickly turns right then left in confusion, hitting another skull spider with each movement. He faces the crowd head-on, then instinctually raises his right hand in a fist to catch the last skull spider. The crowd is in awe. Tahu mumbles in confusion as the villagers bow to him.
NARMOTO: Do you still doubt your destiny, Tahu?
Narmoto casts aside his staff and throws off his cloak, revealing a strong armored body. A shoulder-mounted canon unfolds from behind him and arms with a click.
NARMOTO: Come with me! We have no time to waste!
