Synopsis for "Rise of the Rahkshi!"
Makuta has unleashed his sons upon the island of Mata Nui: Panrahk, Rahkshi of Fragmentation; Lerahk, Rahkshi of Poison, and Guurahk, Rahkshi of Disintegration. These powerful creatures seek the Mask of Light, the only obstacle to Makuta's domination. Tahu and Gali race to confront the monsters, only to be ambushed by Lerahk and Guurahk. Lewa rescues Gali from Guurahk's attacks, but the Toa Nuva's defense is uncoordinated. The Rahkshi use this to their advantage, cornering the heroes against a cliff and causing a poisonous landslide to crush them. Satisfied with this efforts, Makuta releases more Rahkshi from his lair: Kurahk, Rahkshi of Anger; Vorahk, Rahkshi of Hunger; and Turahk, Rahkshi of Fear. With these three, Makuta hopes to demoralize the Matoran's Unity, Duty, and Destiny.
Elsewhere in Po-Wahi, Turaga Whenua meets with Onua and Pohatu. While the Toa are eager to help search for the Seventh Toa, Whenua has summoned them for a different purpose. He and the other Turaga have been hunting and trapping Kraata for centuries, keeping them safely stored in the cave. With the Rahkshi on the loose, Whenua fears that they may seek out and free the Kraata. Pohatu is infuriated that the Turaga kept something as powerful and dangerous as this a secret from him, but Onua interrupts: the Rahkshi are here! They create a landslide and trap the heroes in the cavern. Worse, the shockwave from the avalanche has opened the Kraata tubes. Meanwhile, Kopaka arrives at the spot where the Toa planned to meet, only to discover the six assembled Rahkshi waiting for him!
