That's... about the right of it, yes.

Something was taking over Metru Nui. For how long, I don't think any of us really knew. Not until it was late.

Normally our city would have many Toa. But they started vanishing. Sent away to help others, or disappearing on missions. Eventually, we only had one left.

When he got the sense that he was in danger himself, he did the only thing he could do. He had to find new Toa, and he didn't have much time to do it. So he looked through the stars for guidance, and found names he then hunted down.

That was us. Myself, and my team. Complete strangers when we were summoned, with no idea what was being asked of us... and no explanation to go by. Lhikan was captured before he could deliver more than a fleeting message - that the Heart of Metru Nui was in danger, and that we were to save it.

We were changed that day. But we had no guidance. We were all stubborn in our own ways, and started to fight immediately. The only thing we had for guidance...

...Was me. The visions I saw... some took for me being completely mad, while some --[only two. only ever, truly, two.] -- thought it was messages from our Great Spirit.

It was as close to a leader as we had.
