I Won't Settle

Ide!

Come with me
Sleep for a bit, and then-
And then you'll all go back to Atero Nui, and I'll be gone

Ide! There you are!
Who... Ahkmou

Hello, Um?

Treyla

Treyla
I, um, found them wandering

I don't believe you

Of course not

Did you bring Ide out here?
Are you the reason Ide's been hearing voices?

Well, not on purpose

You're the one who has been kidnapping civilians!

Got it in one

But... you are but a Matoran!

You were expecting something else?

I guess not. But how?

Well, I had a little help

Ugh!

This is a Kraata Ro, a Kraata of Sleep
One touch, and you'll pass out for a few hours
It'll be the best sleep you've had in a while, I–
What?!

Shadow Stealer!

Kraata, sliced and diced. And you're next, traitor

Ah, ah! If you kill me, you won't be able to find your missing heroes

(growls)
Still, I heard everything. Treyla, Ide, are you alright?

We're fine. But Ahkmou, why?

Why? Don't tell me you can't see it
The hypocrisy of the council
The low-burning animosity between the Agori and Matoran

I-

Can't you feel it?

Well-

They expect you to do a job, giving you platitudes
With titles and plaques as rewards
But when you fail, it confirms what they always felt about you
They only value you for what you can do for them, not who you are
That's the only currency that matters in this city

It's important, yes, but-

Ah! See! Everyone's in it for themselves
The Turaga and Agori put their own people first
Before thinking of each other
I want to live in a different world, a better one, away from it all

That's the way the world is. Get used to it
Is that why you kidnapped these people?

No!

For revenge?

No! They're fine. Unhurt. They're just asleep
And once I have what I want, they can go back
I just need your help

What are you saying?

He made a deal with the Dreamweaver, to turn his dreams into reality

He could do the same for you too
Both of you!
Come with me

What are you thinking, Treyla?

I think I get it

I can't explain
Away all the pain
What's the point if no one knows my name
Words on the stone
Are they my own
Anonymous, synonymous with lives I'd never known
But you understand
You've seen firsthand
How your friends all nod then turn their back
I want to go
And do what they won't
I'm gonna tell them what they need to know
I won't settle!

Caught in debris
Of all they can see
I never gave a chance to just be me
But it's time to embark
I'll etch my mark
Rebellion from millions of the nameless in the dark
And you know there's more
You opened the door
My destiny lies just beyond the shore
Attack from below
Fight against the flow
I need to say what they're afraid to know
I won't settle!

I will go with you

Do you think you can trust him?

I know I can't, but... I have to see this through
For the citizens of Atero Nui, and myself

I -
I've neglected my duty for too long
I left you alone before, I will not do so again

Ide
