For the very embodiment of an element, the Earth is seeming slightly weak and underpowered, but that is the only complaint of mineabout this marvelous chapter! I love Nestra's speech, which does remind me terribly of... nah, no-one important. On another note, THE SLIME IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet it's Indusko. I also wonder whether Brond will actually die at any point. Also, have you noticed that whenever a villain of ANY SORT releases a more powerful villain OF ANY SORT they ALWAYS regret it? Very nice building up the tension, don't really like Subatrond being reffered to as a god, though, I think with Atrokos it made sense, but Subatrond is just a berserk mining tool. Also, a thought just occured to me. What kind of Matoran miner would be able to create something like Subatrond?
