The Matoran mutter under their breathe and back off.
"You misunderstand what we mean by true power. You soldiers are like Bohrok, no true power of your own just what's in the tools you're given, their shields. These tools are powerful, but nothing like the Bahrag Queens, which need not the tools to perform even more power than the shields. Your Makuta are like the Bahrag, wielding immense power. They may use tools, just like Toa, to further enhance that power, but the true power itself comes from them. We want that internal power, not the tools of pawns."
"Then you shall rule nothing."
The RMS vacate the arena.
They let them go, because the RMS admitted they were too weak and would die to the power Kal-Koro.
A squadron of interceptors make a point of telebombing the shanty town all over, but especially dropping firebombs on the coliseum.
Turaga Hahtanna rises from some of the burnt wreck. A couple surviving Matoran see this as their opportunity and try to get the jump on Hahtanna. One in particular does this almost literally, diving into a tackle and forcing the old Turaga into the ash and splinters. What this Matoran didn't know was that Hahtanna's artificial spin was sharp, ending up more like he tackled a cactus with metal needles. Hahtanna creates a thin layer of Shadow over his body before releasing it outward as a bubble repulsion blast, send the Matoran flying off him. The Turaga gets up and walks over to the fallen Matoran, his permanently wide, tired open eyes will with black fire.
"Did you really think you could take me?!" He swings his Pahrak Va head shield, shattering the Kanohi of the next Matoran taking his shot. "I am the ruler of power here! I am never weak! Now, get to work! Use this to grow stronger!"
Hahtanna is finally on top of this original attacker and runs his katana through the Matoran's heartlight. The Matoran jolts up and grabs the blade, sputtering before collapsing with empty eyes.

"Now, we've got work to do. Start building!"
What survivor are left rebuild a small village.
"That wasn't very nice" Vakt walks out from the shadows, having watched the entire thing.

"That wasn't very nice" Vakt walks out from the shadows, having watched the entire thing.
Vakt is attacked by one of the Kra-Matoran, a bolt of shadow fired at his back.
Vakt smashes the Turaga to the head with his shield, knocking him down
"...and i'm not your average Matoran."
As Vakt starts to move, his own shadow jumps up and grabs Vakt, putting him into a choke hold while dragging him back.
"Oh, I believe you did. Didn't he everyone?!"
There are cheers and insults from the Matoran.
Vakt swings his sword round behind him and fires at the shadow. The light formed by the energy particles disperses the shadow, freeing Vakt from the choke hold and allowing him to get up. He stabs the Turaga in the shoulder as he gets up. He then looks at the crowd

"You support this dictatorship?!?"
As Vakt deals with the shadow, Hahtanna actives his Nobel Mask of Aging, slowly accelerating Vakt's life and slowing and weakening the Matoran. He blocks the attempted stab with his Pahrak Va head shield.
"We only care about destruction! Only about becoming the most powerful!"

With Hahtanna's shield otherwise occupied, Vakt uses his shield's grips to remove Hahtanna's mask.
"That would be fine if you didn't cheat the system!"

When Vakt moves his shield forward, Hahtanna steps back and then slashes at Vakt's feet with his katana.
