PAGE ONE

1

TIGHT ON TOA HORDIKA VAKAMA.

2

CAPTION: Po-Metru

3

VAKAMA: Now!

4

TOA HORDIKA ONEWA LAUNCHES TWO SPINNERS.

5

THE SPINNERS STRIKE THE GROUND AROUND SOME VISORAK ROPORAK. THE SCENE IS A CANYON IN PO-METRU.

6

GREAT WALLS OF STONE ERUPT OUT OF THE GROUND AROUND THE VISORAK…

7

SOUND: Krrunncchh

8

AND SLAM SHUT, LOCKING THE VISORAK INSIDE A STONE DOME.

9

SOUND: Thoom!

10

(((END PAGE ONE)))

PAGE TWO

11

VAKAMA AND ONEWA SIDE BY SIDE.

12

VAKAMA: Another fight won… but we are no closer to saving the Matoran.

13

ONEWA: It seems like the more Visorak we defeat, the more there are to challenge us.

14

ON RAHAGA NORIK.

15

CAPTION: Rahaga Norik chooses that moment to speak up.

16

NORIK: You must find Keetongu. Only he can help you defeat the Visorak once and for all.

17

ON VAKAMA.

18

VAKAMA: But we have so few clues to where Keetongu is hiding! We need help. We need Turaga Dume.

19

NORIK LEAPS UP ON A ROCK.

20

NORIK: You said Dume was trapped in a sphere by Makuta and cast into an endless sleep.

21

ON ONEWA.

22

ONEWA: Better send for the other Toa Hordika, Norik. I think Vakama wants us to drag the Turaga out of bed.

23

(((END PAGE TWO)))

PAGE THREE

24

THE SIX TOA HORDIKA WALK THROUGH A PO-METRU TUNNEL…

25

CAPTION: It is much later when all six Toa Hordika gather in Po-Metru to seek out the sphere that holds their Turaga.

26

MATAU: You’re sure this is the right way-path?

27

VAKAMA: Yes. We are close to where Turaga Lhikan and I saw his sphere.

28

ON VAKAMA.

29

VAKAMA: Hopefully, we can get there without running into any unpleasant surprises.

30

BIG PANEL. THE TOA HORDIKA STAND ON ONE SIDE OF AN UNDERGROUND BRIDGE OF STONE OVER A CHASM FILLED WITH MOLTEN LAVA.

31

ONEWA: You mean like this?

32

(((END PAGE THREE)))

PAGE FOUR

33

SMALL PANEL, TIGHT ON NOKAMA.

34

NOKAMA: No —

35

WE SEE THAT VISORAK KEELERAK HAVE PURSUED THEM INTO THE TUNNEL AND ARE CLOSING IN FROM BEHIND. NOKAMA HAS TURNED TO SEE THEM, SO SHE IS PARTIALLY IN THE SHOT.

36

NOKAMA: — I think he meant like that!

37

THE TOA HORDIKA MAKE FOR THE BRIDGE.

38

MATAU: Last one across is an unwashed lava eel!

39

THE SIX HORDIKA HAVE MADE IT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE BRIDGE, AND TURNED TO FACE THEIR PURSUERS, SPINNERS AT THE READY. FIVE OF THEM ARE LOOKING STRAIGHT. NUJU IS LOOKING AND POINTING UP AT SOMETHING.

40

WHENUA: We make our stand here!

41

NUJU: You know, on second thought —

42

(((END PAGE FOUR)))

PAGE FIVE

43

FULL-PAGE SPLASH. WE SEE WHAT NUJU IS POINTING UP AT — VISORAK VOHTARAK COMING DOWN FROM THE CEILING ON WEBS LIKE PARATROOPERS.

44

NUJU: — I think maybe Vakama meant something like this!

45

(((END PAGE FIVE)))

PAGE SIX

46

ONEWA TRIES TO LEAD THE GROUP ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO SAFETY.

47

ONEWA: This way!

48

BUT THERE ARE VISORAK OOHNORAK WAITING ON THE OTHER SIDE!

49

ONEWA: Or maybe not… well, only one choice then.

50

ONEWA LAUNCHES A STONE SPINNER STRAIGHT DOWN AT THE BRIDGE AS NOKAMA LOOKS ON, HORRIFIED.

51

NOKAMA: What are you doing??

52

SMALL PANEL. SPINNER STRIKES BRIDGE, WHICH BEGINS TO CRACK AND CRUMBLE.

53

NOKAMA (OFF-SCREEN): His spinner! It’s destroying the bridge!

54

SOUND: Krrackkk!

55

LONG SHOT. THE STONE BRIDGE COLLAPSES WITH THE SIX TOA HORDIKA PLUNGING TOWARD THE LAVA BELOW.

56

NOKAMA: We’re falling!!

57

LOWER CAPTION: To be continued…
