energy crossbow

The energy crossbow^{1, 2, 3, 4}, also called the laser crossbow^{5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, was a crossbow-like weapon that served as Kongu's Toa tool when he was a Toa Inika. Kongu used it to channel and focus his elemental power of air, which was laced with electricity due to his nature as a Toa Inika. The crossbow was filled with pure energy that caused it to glow when in use.^{10, 11, 12} It fired crossbow bolts of pure laser energy to devastating effect.^{13, 3} These lethal bolts of pure energy split anything they hit into atoms.⁶

The energy crossbow materialized inside Kongu's Toa canister when the Red Star transformed him into a Toa Inika.^{14, 15, note 1} Presumably, it later transformed into an unknown Toa tool when the Mask of Life transformed Kongu into a Toa Mahri^{16, 17, 18, 19}, which Kongu later discarded in favor of carrying two Cordak blasters.²⁰ It remained in the ocean of Aqua Magna.²¹
