- Story -
Luki was on a school trip to the British Museum. When he tried to take a picture of the Moai statue, it suddenly disappeared, and the seven spirits of the Ahu Akivi Moai appeared around him.
The spirits revealed his identity as the lost heir of the Rapa Nui people and demonstrated to him the stories of Easter Island. They introduced him to the transported history of the Moai statues and the sad fact that Hoa Hakananai'a's spirit is trapped inside the British Museum.
When the spirits disappeared, a glow emanated from the back of the sculpture. Luki moved to the rear and was guided to match the bird pattern. At this moment, a bird spirit flew from the carvings and led Luki to a Birdman mask, imbued with the powers of the Birdman from his ancestors...
