PAGE TWO
11VAKAMA AND ONEWA SIDE BY SIDE.
12VAKAMA: Another fight won… but we are no closer to saving the Matoran.
13ONEWA: It seems like the more Visorak we defeat, the more there are to challenge us.
14ON RAHAGA NORIK.
15CAPTION: Rahaga Norik chooses that moment to speak up.
16NORIK: You must find Keetongu. Only he can help you defeat the Visorak once and for all.
17ON VAKAMA.
18VAKAMA: But we have so few clues to where Keetongu is hiding! We need help. We need Turaga Dume.
19NORIK LEAPS UP ON A ROCK.
20NORIK: You said Dume was trapped in a sphere by Makuta and cast into an endless sleep.
21ON ONEWA.
22ONEWA: Better send for the other Toa Hordika, Norik. I think Vakama wants us to drag the Turaga out of bed.

PAGE THREE
24THE SIX TOA HORDIKA WALK THROUGH A PO-METRU TUNNEL…
25CAPTION: It is much later when all six Toa Hordika gather in Po-Metru to seek out the sphere that holds their Turaga.
26MATAU: You’re sure this is the right way-path?
27VAKAMA: Yes. We are close to where Turaga Lhikan and I saw his sphere.
28ON VAKAMA.
29VAKAMA: Hopefully, we can get there without running into any unpleasant surprises.
30BIG PANEL. THE TOA HORDIKA STAND ON ONE SIDE OF AN UNDERGROUND BRIDGE OF STONE OVER A CHASM FILLED WITH MOLTEN LAVA.
31ONEWA: You mean like this?

PAGE FOUR
33SMALL PANEL, TIGHT ON NOKAMA.
34NOKAMA: No —
35WE 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.
36NOKAMA: — I think he meant like that!
37THE TOA HORDIKA MAKE FOR THE BRIDGE.
38MATAU: Last one across is an unwashed lava eel!
39THE 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.
40WHENUA: We make our stand here!
41NUJU: You know, on second thought —
42(((END PAGE FOUR)))
PAGE FIVE
43FULL-PAGE SPLASH. WE SEE WHAT NUJU IS POINTING UP AT — VISORAK VOHTARAK COMING DOWN FROM THE CEILING ON WEBS LIKE PARATROOPERS.
44NUJU: — I think maybe Vakama meant something like this!

PAGE SIX
46ONEWA TRIES TO LEAD THE GROUP ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO SAFETY.
47ONEWA: This way!
48BUT THERE ARE VISORAK OOHNORAK WAITING ON THE OTHER SIDE!
49ONEWA: Or maybe not… well, only one choice then.
50ONEWA LAUNCHES A STONE SPINNER STRAIGHT DOWN AT THE BRIDGE AS NOKAMA LOOKS ON, HORRIFIED.
51NOKAMA: What are you doing??
52SMALL PANEL. SPINNER STRIKES BRIDGE, WHICH BEGINS TO CRACK AND CRUMBLE.
53NOKAMA (OFF-SCREEN): His spinner! It’s destroying the bridge!
54SOUND: Krrackkk!
55LONG SHOT. THE STONE BRIDGE COLLAPSES WITH THE SIX TOA HORDIKA PLUNGING TOWARD THE LAVA BELOW.
56NOKAMA: We’re falling!!
