meanwhile, zaktan is furious upon the toa nuva's survival. he reveals the piraka's seventh member, vezon, briefly, and sends thok to work the matoran harder, as the volcano had slowed after the eruption. zaktan later meets with brutaka, and hakann overhears. he fires a zamor sphere at the titan, which only appears to make him stronger. he follows the gold and blue armored warrior, and strikes a deal that if he can control the zamor spheres, he can grant them to brutaka, they too journey to the stronghold. coincidentally, avak and thok, searching for the toa by the green belt of voya nui, realize the ignika must be hidden there, and conclude zaktan was using mount valmai as a diversion. they retreat to the piraka stronghold to confront him.
