Summary

Swarms of Rahi attack Kini-Nui

The battle began when the Chronicler's Company, led by Takua, promised to protect the Kini-Nui while the Toa Mata fought Teridax below in Mangaia. Before leaving, Gali formed a telepathic link with Takua which allowed him to view the struggle down below.

The Company was able to defend themselves and the Temple at first. Using Bamboo Disks as their weapons they together defeated the Infected Rahi including numerous Nui-Rama, Nui-Jaga, Tarakava, and Muaka. After a few battles though, hundreds of Rahi began to come at once, causing the team to stand their ground in defeat. Reinforcements however, suddenly arrived from other villages to assist the Chronicler's Company, including the Gukko Bird Force, the Ussalry and the Ta-Koro Guard. The overwhelming forces quickly defeated the Rahi causing their retreat.

Aftermath

The Ta-Koro Guard joining the battle near its end

There were no Matoran casualties, and the infected Rahi were successfully driven off. At the end of the battle, an Onu-Matoran, riding Pewku, asked Takua to go and visit Onu-Koro at the request of Turaga Whenua, where he would unknowingly travel down through the Sundial Entrance into Mangaia and witness the Toa facing Teridax himself. The rest of the Matoran later returned to their own villages, just in time to protect them from the rampaging Bohrok swarms.
