They discuss...

Imelos: It was the will of Mata Nui that we become Turaga. Until we can create more Matoran, they are limited in number, and they still need Toa to protect them.
Kodu: Mata Nui is gone, Imelos! He abandoned us!
Duita: He is still here; he is just allowing us freedom. We may not be within the Great Spirit Robot anymore, but we still have a destiny to fulfill.
Jao: *Disappointed*
Hiju: You willingly did it, Kodu; it's a little late to regret your choice!
Makai: Imelos is right, we need to think of the matoran now.
