Synopsis for "Secret and Shadows"
The Rahkshi have been defeated, and Makuta banished from the island of Mata Nui. The Matoran prepare to travel to the newly-discovered city of Metru Nui. Nokama warns them that while the city may appear beautiful, its peace is deceptive. Elsewhere, Jaller, Takanuva, and Vakama are overlooking the wreckage of Ta-Koro. Takanuva is confident, looking forward to their journey. Vakama cautions the Toa of Light, reminding him how one cannot assess an enemy by its appearance. To illustrate, the Turaga reflects on the exploits of the Toa Nuva during the recent search for the Seventh Toa. Tahu, Kopaka, and Lewa had tracked the Rahkshi to Le-Wahi, only to find a loose Shadow Kraata and some infected Matoran. As they continued to search, they were ambushed by the two Rahkshi Kaita! One of them--Rahkshi Kaita Za--transforms into a tornado and bowls Tahu and Kopaka. The other--Rahkshi Kaita Za--begins to drain Lewa's energy.
Rahkshi Kaita Za in set form
With only seconds to spare, Kopaka creates a series of reflective ice walls, deflecting the Kaita's deadly energy blast into the Kaita Za. The Toa Nuva beat a hasty retreat, but not before Tahu brings down half a mountain upon the foes. The Turaga closes with an observation: because the Toa underestimated their foes, they almost died. With that, Vakama's decision has been made. It is time to tell the Toa Nuva everything. Later, the assembled Turaga speak with the Toa Nuva. There, Vakama finally reveals the incredible truth: the Toa Nuva are not, in fact, the first Toa!
