but in the midst of the toa inika's mourning the matoran, they are reunited with all their friends: the matoran had succeeded in freeing the toa nuva, and axonn is there as well (botar had just left after talking to the nuva). while the inika worry that the nuva will take over the mission to save the great spirit, the nuva recognize that this mission is the inika's destiny and give them their full blessing. axonn also declares his intent to be the matoran's guardian; openly instead of secretly this time. the piraka, watching from afar, decide that taking on twelve toa and axonn would be suicide; opting to bide their time.
