The evening came. Even more worried than before; Vakama sat in his room by himself and gave himself up to thoughts. Suddenly the door opened and a matoran-doctor came in wearing a white cloak.

“Turaga Vakama” -he whispered- “Nokama regained consciousness. She asked for you to come.”

“I will come straightaway.”-answered Vakama, picked up his cloak and hurriedly left the room, while being closely followed by the doctor.

Both of them came to the hospital ward, but here they pattered. The doctor went to the diagnosis ward, and Vakama came into the ward where Nokama was. She lay on the bed and gazed on to the ceiling. Next to her sat Gaia from Ga-metru, a healer who had been asked to come due to the emergency. On hearing the steps of a Taruga of fire, she bowed in respect and started to step away:

“I will give you some time by yourselves.”

Vakama anxiously looked at Nokama. Her mask clearly displayed signs of tiredness. Turaga of fire signaled for Gaia to stay.

“I was told that she regained her Consciousness, but she is still in trance…”

“I have examined her closely,”-was Gaia’ reply. –But it seems that her soul is unable to awake. Something caused a well-aimed blow that hit her mental barrier and paralyzed her…. So she is imprisoned inside her own trance. I have never seen anything like this… this is very strange… and worrying.”

“I understand, Gaia, thank you for helping her. Now you need to rest."

Gaia nodded and turned towards the exit.

Suddenly Nokama twitched and began saying something. All what Vakama was able to hear was random snippets of the conversation:

“He has resurrected… trapped… warn Toa... death... I can’t bear this no more!”-her mask turned white-hot and began to melt… And then it cooled down rapidly. Nokama was still breathless… Shocked Vakama was paralyzed by what he heard. He regained her senses only when someone touched his shoulder. It was Gaia.

“I heard Nokama’s voice. All other doctors are fast asleep. What happened?”

“Quickly contact all Toa!” - was the only thing Vakama was able to say. Then he felt that he was able to talk again: “Quickly, Gaia, no time should be lost! Run to the communication center and tell all Toa, that we have an emergency! Yes, and find Axel, I have a task for you!"

Gaia run out of the ward, and Vakama turned to his room.

Half an hour later Axel ran in holding Gaia by her hand.

“Here, I found him, Turaga.”-She said.-“Gali, Tahu and Takanuva have not replied. Lewa said, that he will come immediately; Onua is somewhere deep in Archives. Pohatu is here already, and Kopaka said that there has been a jam in the airhighway. And now he has to walk here.

“Then we will have to deal without Toa for now…. And that Gali, Tahu and Takanuva have not replied can mean only one thing –Nokama’s words are true.”

“What happened, in the name of Makuta??” - Axel who couldn’t stand these long discussions finally interrupted the talk.

“It’s better not to say his name ever again!” - Vakama replied. - “What if he hears you and decides to drop by and visit?”

It seemed that Axel did not understand what had happened, because he replied sarcastically:

“How can dead come here?” - and at the same time he realized what was happening, and sat down with his mouth wide open:

“Are you trying to say, Turaga, that Makuta had resurrected? And the thing that was inside the container was Makuta? And…he captured Twist! Oh no, I will show him what pain is really like!”

Axel lifted a protoplastic container from his back and took some parts out of it, then he placed them together and once he was finished he place upon the table a disc launcher with a sniper laser. -“I’m ready to fight Makuta till death… His, or mine!”

“Calm down, little brave soldier.” Pohatu’s voice came from the direction of the entrance. “Sorry, Vakama but I couldn’t wait anymore.”

“Don’t worry, Pohatu, sit down.”

Pohatu sat down.

“Gaia and Axel. You will go to search for Keetonogu, so he can rescue Nokama. “Vakama finished what he had to say.

“Then I will have to get ready and pack my things.” Axel moved towards the door. “Shall we meet at ten o’clock on the Main Square tomorrow, then, Gaia?”

“yes, the time would be right.”-Gaia replied. “I will stay here, if Vakama doesn’t object, and listen to whatever will be said.”

“Ok, see you tomorrow.” On saying this Axel left.

Vakama said looked at Axel when he was disappearing out of sight.

“While we are waiting for your brothers, Pohatu, tell me, who is the bravest out of your matoran?” He asked Tao of Stone.

“I think Crash. He is a strong one, a brilliant sportsman. - replied Pohatu Nuva, with out even thinking. “He loves adventures.”

“He will do.” Vakama agreed. “He will be a good companion to Axel.”

Gaia replied calmly:

“I have no objections. I know Crash, and I’m sure that you can rely on him… but Axel… yes, he speaks a lot of his bravery, but if you give him the weight of the leadership he may not cope. He may be a problem in a difficult situation… but if we support him, he will learn to believe in himself… fine, Vakama, I am very tired...too many of my healing powers had been given to Nokama… I will go to bed now, if no one objects.

“I have advised you to go to bed long ago.” Vakama answered with a smile “Sleep, my child.”

“Good night.” Gaia left.

“I am not that sure that tonight will be goof though…” Pohatu said thoughtfully.
