Ta-Koro, 30 Days Until New Year's Celebration.

A horn was blown, and the gate to Ta-Koro opened, as Tahu approached. This time, however, instead of proudly walking in to the great village, Tahu carried himself with concern, as his last battle was not only well matched, but his adversary was shrouded in mystery and superstition. He made a beeline for Vakama's hut, wanting questions answered. "Ah, mighty Toa Tahu. I suppose your trip through the Tren Krom Break went well-" "Now is not the time for formalities, noble Turaga. Someone calling themselves 'Wera Nui' claimed to know me, and when I told him I had no clue who he was, he attacked." Tahu cut off Vakama's welcome.

"Hm, I shall consult the Great Flame for an answer to your question." What was ten minutes felt like ten hours to Tahu, as Vakama was in deep thought, looking for an answer. Tahu tapped his foot on the ground, anxious. He was almost ready to just sprint out of the hut, gather his Toa brothers and sisters, and start a manhunt for Wera Nui and get answers from the source. Yet, as he was waiting, he noticed the Mask of Time sitting atop one of Vakama's shelves.

"Deception, boasting, and traveling from universe to universe. That is what makes up this 'Wera Nui' that you speak of." Tahu was almost taken aback when he heard Vakama's voice again. The things that the Turaga spoke of Wera Nui gave a clearer, and less foggy image of the Great Flame for Tahu. It explains why Wera Nui felt pain, despite calling himself a Great Being, and him knowing of who Tahu was, despite the two never meeting, in this universe, at least. "I thank you for departing this knowledge, noble Turaga."

"May the Great Spirit guide you." Vakama replied. As Tahu ran outside, he looked up at the great Mangai, the volcano at the center of the island, and got an idea. Great Mangai, 30 Days Until New Year's Celebration. The Toa of Fire was at the top of the volcano, and looked inside of it, wondering if perhaps Wera Nui wanted to set up a base of operations here. Surprisingly, Tahu saw a window, embedded into the side of the interior of the volcano. The Toa of Fire rushed back to the ground level of the island, and prepared to gather the other Toa, so that they could defeat Wera Nui once and for all.
