gathered friends listen again to all Legend of the Bionicle in the time before time duck brick started a bionical retold series recapping the entire bionical storyline from the beginning to the end and now all Journeys must come to an end a prologue 10 chapters and an epilogue the bionical retold story is completed and so in this one final video we will be combining all of the entire bionical retold story in one massive video so without further Ado I hope you enjoy and listen again to our legend of the Bionicle [Music] prologue the core War Our Story begins on a planet called spherus Magna where most of the action in the bionical storyline begins and ends this planet was occupied by three major types of sensient beings glorian who are physically Adept Warriors and protectors scrw who are incredibly militaristic Warriors and biologically different from glatorian and andori who were smaller in stature than either glorian or scrawl and made up the vast majority of the population in Lego set terms the agori were basically your small sets and the glatorian or scrw were the larger sets these characters had incredibly long lifespans living for thousands of years and less killed this was in part due to a refinement they had made to their bodies despite being completely organic creatures they had metallic implants and a completely metallic bone structure the best way of mentally reconciling this is by thinking of stuff like cyberpunk or humans in the Far Far Future where mechanical implants and technological upgrades have almost completely overtaken the organic body despite having an organic core this Society of workers and warriors was divided up into eight tribes based on the regions they lived in and the color of their armor fire water jungle ice rock sand iron and Earth these were generally made up of glor and aori except for the rock tribe which was mostly exclusively scraw during the early days of the civilization a lovecraftian like being known as Anana roamed free feeding on the dreams of the agori those she fed on were eventually driven mad and rejected from society on mass at the same time certain members of the population began to mentally evolve quickly rising to prominence Superior in intellect and creativity these people left behind the confines of tribal society and and bestowed upon themselves the totally not egotistical title of great beings seeing themselves as a vastly superior to the rest eventually these great beings became the scientist Kings of the planet with all other members of society bowing to them the minds of these great beings became so much more advanced than the other members of the planet that over thousands of years and cycles of evolution they became biologically different than a Goran cloran almost constituting as a brand new species the closest analogy that I can come up with here is say with humans and monkeys they both sprung from the same species but one is much more intelligent than the other the great beings Minds were just so much more advanced than these standard agori or glatorian that they actually counted as a different species as the years passed on meanwhile when Anana moved to attack the great beings she was beaten back due to the fact that they had biologically evolved past normal gorian anori she was unable to truly Drive their incredibly complex mind insane and went into hiding after her defeat with no more major present threats it was a time of happiness and expansion during this time of prosperity the great beings began construction on a colossal prototype robot which was intended to be piloted by a gory to navigate nearby star systems and explore the known universe furthering the spread of their civilization Unfortunately they were unable to find a stable power source for the robot and upon attempted launch it exploded into several pieces across a vast desert keep this in mind because this is basically a dox ma that will be relevant for not only just the end of this episode but the end of the entire bionical storyline as a whole just remember the prototype robot exploded due to an unstable power source and littered all across the desert are the remains of this massive robot but this happiness was not to last because after over 50,000 years without her presence Anana grew hungry again at this point she she had faded into Legend and few still passed on the tales of warning about her Anana chose to specifically Target One Tribe in particular that were susceptible to her attacks the iron tribe driving nearly every single one of their members mad over time eventually killing them all off to the rest of the agori this appeared to be a mysterious and deadly plague that targeted most of the iron tribe agori from the ones who remained many were driven mad themselves by the decimation of their entire civilization and all they had known to love and the only survivors were shunned and driven away from the restr of the agori in fear of their transmitting the disease to this day we only know of two named survivors who were both filled with hatred and paranoia against the rest of the agori for this Mass shunning in the grand scheme of things the decimation of the iron tribe and their two remaining members aren't too relevant right now but just keep them in mind for later because they'll be relatively relevant down the line meanwhile Ana's Troublesome misdeeds didn't end there grown tired and weary of the militaristic ways of the scrawl she used her telepathic abilities to expand the mental powers of the female members of these scrawl species hoping they would use their Newfound telepathic powers to wipe out their male counterparts however this didn't happen instantaneously and while it did cause the male and female members of these species to have a major cultural divide no major conflicts happened until much much later in the main story all you need to know at this point is that the female members of the scroll separated off into their own cult-like society called The Sisters of the scrw isolating themselves completely from the rest of the villages as years passed the eight tribes slowly dwindled to just seven main tribes ruling the lands of course you already know what happened to the sand tribe and so there really only were just a few left fire water jungle ice sand rock and Earth during this time the great beings had also grown tired of actively ruling the land and instead decided to take a step back from the politics of ruling to focus on their scientific experiments and technological expansion out of the seven remaining tribes a single Warrior was chosen by the great beings to be imbued with elemental powers via a mysterious scientific process the great beings personally designed these Warriors now known as the element Lords were assigned as the rulers of their individual tribes to act as representatives of each for diplomacy and trade as the element Lords ruled fous Magna and all its inhabitants the great beings began to fade more and more Into Obscurity and Legend they spent this time experimenting on the native animals and even glorian anori transforming the sand tribe into mindless beasts as a game to see who would survive best in the wild and imbuing the massive insectoid creatures that roam land called scopos with biomechanical implants essentially for fun making the desert a whole lot more dangerous and giving us Lego fans a killer set at at the same time it was around this time where everything began to go wrong as the agori delved deeper and deeper into the core of spherus Magna they uncovered a substance now known as energized protodermis this discovery spurred on the central conflict of the bionical story when energized protodermis was discovered by the ice tribe the first aori to touch the substance with his bare hands was instantly vaporized and that was just the tip of the iceberg when animals and other objects were exposed to the substance they not only were just disintegrated some actually were mutated and transformed into Fantastical new creatures immediately seeing the Limitless potential for such a powerful substance the element Lord of Earth advised the Lord of ice to barricade his territory refusing to share it all except of course with the Earth tribe and ordering all glatorian ofice to defend the land at all cost this understandably angered the rest of the element Lords who naturally assumed the Lord of ice would share it with the rest of them at least via trade as diplomacy broke down and the ice territory was transformed into a full-on kingdom overnight the core War began and the beginning of the end was nigh the mining of energized protodermis which came from the core of the planet caused the planet to grow unstable with the protodermis bubbling up onto the surface of the planet all across the globe only further fueling major conflict over these hotpots the agori and glatorian began to attempt to study the energized protodermis turn it into weapons and major forces of Destruction absolutely horrified by the state of society the great beings attempted to step in but since so much time had passed since their dominance their calls for peace were largely ignored with almost every single tribe succumbing to the war taking advantage of technology developed by the great beings the agori began to even modify animals for war fusing organic creatures with mechanical implants to hone them for battle as the battles raged this proved to be one of the bloodiest conflicts in the entire history of the bionical story The Power of the Lord of jungle caused hundreds of Warriors to be fused in the trees and plant life creating an eerie Forest of blades and corpses even Warriors who had grown disillusioned to fighting were soon pulled into the conflict with very few remaining safe havens left on the entire planet that hadn't been touched by the conflict even innocent agori who were non-combative were inadvertently killed in these senseless fighting over this resource during this this conflict the great beings began to secretly recruit agori to serve them in the name of Peace some of these agori were tasked to gather samples of energized protodermis and send them back to the great beings upon an intensive analysis of the substance the great beings realized that the sheer amount of energized protodermis being drawn from the core was destabilizing the planet and society as a whole was on the path towards an extinction level event if energized protodermis continue to be drawn from the planet to address this the great beings developed two major contingency plans the first was a short-term solution to end the war the great beings developed completely mechanical shape-shifting Killers called beta created for One Singular purpose to wipe out any being ever seen holding a weapon Unleashed on mass these beta Pro to significantly slow the war but at an Incredible cost to the population unfortunately due to their incredibly Advanced AI even after the great beings attempted to shut them down because they were dealing more harm than good the beta rejected their programming instead revolting against the great beings and rampaging across the land wiping out anyone they could find who was wielding a weapon and so they developed this second plan which was more of a long-term solution unsure of the long-term viability of the planet the great beings drafted this much more extreme plan remember that prototype robot designed to map out star systems and expand civilization that was ultimately abandoned because they couldn't figure out a good stable power source well the great beings decided to resurrect the project fueling a new second version of the robot with energized protodermis which was the only substance powerful enough to keep it afloat and stable the goal of this new project dubbed the great spirit robot to signify the fact that it carried the spirit of spheris Magna was to survey other worlds learn more about other cultures and planets and after 100,000 years returned to spherus Magna with hopefully the tools and knowledge gained necessary to repair the planet at its core this robot was colossal in scale it stood at 40 million feet high and contained its own internal gravity and weather systems that could be independently controlled the most interesting part of this robot however was that it essentially was an entire universe to populate this world and run the internal mechanics of the robot the great beings made an entirely new biomechanical species known as matorin these were not fully organic like the glatorian and agori but they also weren't fully robotic like the beta they were essentially The Perfect Blend in between and most similar to some of the most advanced great beings and the advanced loran who had become more machined than man these were similar in scale to agori but their minds were completely artificial at least at the start in the beginning they were little more than robots with some organic components operating entirely based on their programming directives to fulfill certain tasks like maintaining the power source executing repairs and so on during construction of this robot the great beings use Advanced science and biological experiments to create a being known as Trend crom to oversee construction and govern the murin as the great spirit was being built trenro was completely organic featuring no mechanical Parts whatsoever and had immense telepathic abilities to be able to govern the minds of all Torin in his vicinity and keep the workers on task oh and one last thing I didn't mention trenro is horrendous in appearance he's essentially a blob of pinkish flesh with tentacles and Barbed hooks sticking out of every end of him he has just two eyes inset into a gelatinous skull but had the ability to grow extra eyes anywhere around his body so he could be allseeing and he could also shoot freaking laser beams from his eyes this isn't really that relevant right now but I'm just trying to paint a picture here so when trenro appears later on in the story you'll maybe be able to better understand why some characters literally go mad just by seeing it he's that horrendous but anyways after construction of the great spirit robot was done trencrom's usefulness was over and the great beings placed him far away from the proceedings at the center of the robot confining him to an island of his own where we wouldn't see him in the story until much much later meanwhile as construction of this robot was occurring the core War raged on at this point some tribes had formed uneasy alliances with each other and the Earth tribe had been essentially shunned and systematically killed off for being the people who started this war by manipulating the Lord of ice to take the protodermis for himself and them in a pivotal battle that ended the war a legion of scrawl fresh from a major victory over the jungle tribe routed the ice tribe from their mountains giving the fire tribe a chance to break through the northern ice tribe flank and finally seize control of the original spring of energized protodermis which caused all this fighting to begin with unfortunately the fire tribe then proceeded to foolishly drain the Wellspring of all its energized protodermis significantly advancing the planet's Decay and causing earthquakes to break out all over the planet the great beings observing this destruction hastily began preparations to launch the great spirit robot it's at this point in the story that I want to address one major thing despite what the legends they say the great beings were far from benevolent Gods sure they all did want what was best for society but many of them had massive Egos and saw themselves as literal Gods because of their physically Advanced and mentally Advanced nature Above the Rest of the population this was not a great mix for a brand new universe being created and we're going to get into why right now and so in all this chaos one Rogue great being named velika made a choice that would Kickstart the entire bionical story and launch the main conflict that would drive 10 years worth of the Lego theme in the final moments before launch valiga essentially pushed a software update to aloran which elevated them Beyond mindless robots assigned to do certain tasks and imbued them with a form of artificial intelligence that he had been secretly developing which was so Advanced they became no different than the average agori or glatorian back on spherus Magna he did this not out of the goodness of his heart but with a plan to later reveal himself as a source of their Free Will in hopes they would choose to worship him because of this because what really is the point of having a Mindless Army of robots worship you when you could give them sentients and have them choose to worship you out of their own free will now that's what velika is talking about it was this sentiment that caused every single inhabitant of the maturan universe to gain full sence and Consciousness at once while most still went about their daily tasks as time went on they became more and more independent functioning as Unique Individuals with personalities hopes fears and dreams valika had whether intentionally or not just created a new sentient species and as this great spirit robot blasted off into deep space carrying a brand new fully intelligent species on board the kir ripped the planet apart in a major event known as the shattering from this destruction three new celestial bodies were born bam Magna Home to vast jungles and biomechanical dinosaurs baram Magna now a vast post-apocalyptic desert Wasteland which housed the vast majority of surviving agori and glatorian and aquam Magna an ocean filled planet with no surviving agori or glatorian inhabitants the stage was set for an Epic Journey as the inhabitants of the great spirit robot slowly gain sension all while having no knowledge of their Origins and original purpose as life on baram Magna began to regress into Nomads wandering the desert and the robot launched forth into the universe we now have reached the end of the beginning and the start of a new chapter in bionical lore previously on bionical retold prologue the core War Extinction thousands of light years away battles rage across a planet known as spherus Magna over energized protodermis a mysterious and Powerful substance with the ability to create or destroy Elemental tribes Clash un Ware that the planet is nearing destruction with the mining of this substance scientist Kings known as great beings devise a last ditch attempt at survival sending a colossal robot hurdling into deep space its mission to survey and collect data on other worlds societies and Technology with the hopes of returning after thousands of years to repair the planet as this great spirit robot launches from the planet surface the war for protodermis splits the planet in three chunks forever altering the future of society the fate of spheris Magna and all its inhabitants lies in the hands of a birging species created at the heart of the great spirit robot only just beginning to seek out their own place in the world this is Bionicle retold [Music] chapter 1 Beginnings we last left off with the great spirit robot hurdling into space carrying a new hybrid species aboard called the matorin in the matorin language great spirit translates to manui and at this stage in the universe to its inhabitants the great spirit robot was known as just Maui this microcosm of a universe served as the primary mystery driving eight years of the bionical storyline from 2001 to 2008 as you may probably guess this was the big mystery yet to be unveiled until 8 years into the Lego theme that literally everything was happening inside a gigantic robot but to truly delve deep into this Brave New World we have to turn back the clock returning to the time before spherus Magna was split apart and the great beings were still working to develop and build this manui robot it was at this time that the robot was divided into multiple internal domes separated by a sea of liquid protodermis that in essence was the lifeblood of the robot with internal gravity systems keeping everything secure and in place vast continents began to slowly take shape with artificial weather beginning to kick in to climate control each island within the robot this robot had a very precise system of surveying alien worlds upon arrival on a new planet the robot would land and lay horizontally submerged in the oceans of the world across the face of the robot a highly specialized cloaking mechanism would take place disguising itself as a remote island amidst the ocean when the analysis was completed and surveying was done mechanical swarm likee robots known as The Boro swarms would wipe across the face of the robot clearing away the camoflage and preparing it for takeoff yet again aided by a remote satellite known as the red star to calculate TR trory and conduct repairs the surveillance process was truly state-of-the-art the very first species created by the great beings were known as the matorin Hardy Builders and workers similar in size and ability to the agori unbeknown to the rest of the great beings they had gained full sensient in free will thanks to the meddling of the great being viika who also transferred his Consciousness into a matorin body to keep an eye on the universe and influen the development of society much like the agori and glatorian the matorin were also separated into elements although this time unlike the inhabitants of spherus Magna they were built to possess some innate Elemental abilities to perform the vast degree of functions and roles in the murin universe 15 elements were chosen for a murin to be divided into fire water air ice stone Earth Light magnetism lightning plasma gravity Sonics The Green Iron and psionics I just want to note that out of these 15 elements I know it sounds like a lot but really only seven and arguably six are really too too relevant to the main story line the other ones just play supporting roles you can probably guess which ones are the most important and I'll be going over them later in this video and the other thing I wanted to note is that the borin have their own language they basically have their own dialects separate to the English language where a lot of words in English translate directly into murin Universe words a key proponent of this language is the use of suffixes and prefixes as well so for example the prefix t means fire so a matorin of fire would be a Torin a village of fire would be Toro with cororo meaning Village a region of fire would be taahi with wahi meaning region and so on and don't worry if this is a little bit confusing I've linked dictionaries down in the description below and I'll also be explaining every single word as they come along in the stories so don't worry about getting too too confused because I will be explaining every single word I say just keep in mind that if I say the word murin and have some prefix behind it then that necessarily means that element so gorin water lay murin air and so on the first matorin ever brought into being were the murin of light or a matorin it was their job to maintain and power the heart of the great spirit robot and as such were're equipped with minor Elemental light abilities to ensure the power source of the robot remains stable sit situated in the realm of cardui the world that feeds the world these aorin were the first to work amongst the matorin universe and sustain its artificial heart upon reaching the end of their life cycles or if needed amorin could be forcibly evolved and transformed into the borac robots created to cleanse the surface of the robot losing their personality and memories in favor of a singular will to cleanse remember this for a future chapter you may be able to guess where this is going but a swarm of mind robots with one core directive to cleanse the surface of manui would prove to be let's just say problematic in the future story core to the functions of the great spirit robot were the kenoi masks highly Advanced technological objects that granted powers and abilities to any matorin who wore them initially created by the great beings these masks represented an additional secondary power boost in addition to the wearer's primary element there are four major types of kohi power power levels power L Noble great and legendary yes these were the Collectibles of the Lego theme you got to have them in any original action adventure theme Lego puts out powerless masks are worn by every member of the matorin species and essentially served as power sources of the Maturin despite being unable to access the secondary power The Mask would normally provide without a kohi mask murin laps into a come State there would also be some extraordinary kinoi that possess Powers far beyond a normal mask known as legendary masks only three exist the kohi vahi the mask of time the kohi ignika the mask of life and the mask of creation whose true name has been lost to time these masks cannot be worn by ordinary users and often require special circumstances for their power to be accessed these were planned to be brought into existence by the great beings to fulfill extremely specific and Incredibly powerful duties the could be used to Slow Time Around a specific segment of the universe allowing for quick repairs before major damage was dealt to the robot the mask of creation allows its user to imagine a completed product from raw materials and learn how to construct it or make it out of thin air if it was already envisioned and finally arguably the most important of all the igna mask of life was only to be used in the most dire of emergency situations should the power source of the great spirit robot ever falter the ignika could be warn by an inhabitant of the matorin universe to kickart it back to life sacrificing that inhabitant in the process this mask also had an incredibly dangerous and Powerful fail safe should the advanced AI of the Mask deem the Maturin universe and in turn the great spirit robot as a whole Beyond saving it would activate a death countdown instantly killing every inhabitant of the universe at once to prevent the technology of the great beings from falling into the wrong hands meanwhile seeing the success of the amator the great beings brought forth many more matorin to populate the land each imbued with innate Elemental abilities that could manifest in a weak manner to perform certain tasks the main six that continually crop up in the story were T matorin matorin of fire who could tolerate extreme heat and work in intense conditions gorin matorin of water who could hold their breath for a long period of time and could repair any water damage to the robot lay matorin matorin of air with great ability and speed in tall structures comorin matorin of ice that tolerate immense cold and could repair breaches from the vacuum of space pomin matorin of stone with Incredible strength and physical prowess for the heavy lifting jobs of the universe and onu matorin matorin of Earth with night vision and enhanced strength to toil in the darkest parts of the universe after the creation of the murin the great beings created two Kindred beings to serve diametrically opposed roles araka who ruled over a land of the best murin crafters and Builders who churned out rare artifacts and Powerful tools to Aid the universe and carani the ruler of a realm where broken and malfunctioning murin were sent to be repaired while both started with Noble intent Thea's meddling gave all members of the universe sension not just the murin and as time progressed some of these Realms devolved into stuff much much darker immediately after their Creation The Great beings pitted araka and karani against each other in a competition to earn the legendary mask of creation Arta eventually emerge the Victor after months of battle claiming the mask and leaving his counterpart carani with the kohi oi the great mask of alternate Futures this left araka with the power to create literally anything he wanted and carani with the power to inflict visions of alternate Futures on his subjects still a cool power but not literally create anything you want cool you can understand why karani may be a little jealous of his brother due to the sents V bestowed upon the members of the matorin universe karani grew deeply resentful of araka and slowly began his descent into darkness meanwhile the great beings continued to experiment and create in an attempt to gain full expertise over creating purely organic materials something they had first attempted with Tren crom the great beings inadvertently Unleashed twisted and hideous lizard-like creatures known as the zlac onto the murin universe escaping from the labs of the great beings the zlac embodied in evil nature in true opposition to the murin significantly impacting worker productivity as they rampaged across the insides of the robot and so with a new threat on the horizon the great beings decided to create a protecting Force to defend the Maturin against evil and violence it was in these early days of prehistory that the hand of araka was formed featuring an array of defensive soldiers such as the mighty axon and weapons Master hydraxon operating from the realm of araka this group soon exemplified principles of justice and courage again thanks to viika giving each inhabitant free will to develop their own moral code with the zlac held at Bay by the hand of araka the great beings could refocus on further development of the universe and so a city of Legends was born rising from the central head of the great spirit robot the city of metru Nui was quite literally the brain of the universe a focal point where all knowledge was processed archived and analyzed by the beautiful murin kept inside it was then that the great beings sought to improve and evolve the murin species allowing the most noble and good of their kind to undergo a transformative process to evolve into Warriors and protectors known as TOA should any threats endanger the matorin particularly those living in metroui chosen murin could rise to the title of hero and gain physical strength full control over their Elemental abilities and have their powerless kohi master masks upgraded to Great kohi masks giving them a wide range of secondary powers for each new kohi and with TOA representing the second cycle of Muran Evolution the third and final cycle was created known as taga after a TOA fulfills their duties they can choose to surrender their power and become taga transitioning from Warriors to Elders with an active hand in guiding matoran Society the first TOA created was TOA hel hailing from the land of araka rck was sent to metroui to assist the matorin in its construction and beat back any zlac that attempted to breach the city gates to further fortify and defend the central processing City the great beings gave life to a new subset of species known as Rahi animals of limited intelligence to inhabit the lands and act as a natural defense against Invaders some of the first Rahi were sea creatures of vast proportions ancient during the time where metroui was still being built inhabiting the depths of the silver sea of protodermis around the city and finally as metr Nui neared completion the matorin universe was complete at last from the brain of the robot housing metroui to the heart and power source of cardui and to even Southern Islands at the legs and arms of the robot matorin and TOA colonized these individual Islands forming a home across the entirety of the great spirit robot at this pivotal point in history the great beings undertook their last creation and forged the kohi ignika the mask of Life heated by undying fires and cooled in caverns of ice the mask of Life House the power over all life in the universe and its fate could shape the destiny of all the great beings Creations as the matorin labeled throughout the Universe two great beings brought the ignika down to the southern continent where they hid it in secret on an island known as voan Nui where it was preserved safely for many ages beneath the volcano Mount valai guarded by a new being named named Umbra waiting for its destined warer to arrive and for its own destiny to be fulfilled it was with this Final Act of Creation that the great beings completed the universe they had begun and departed perhaps forever all except of course valika who continued to masquerade as a murin to influence the development of a species he considered he had the right to rule and as the great beings Departed the universe they kickstarted the dormant AI of manui to govern the entire universe in their step Awakening the great spirit Maui assumed control of the robot and directed it to the part's ferus Magna right at the brink of the shattering and bringing us back to where we left off at the end of the prologue as matui flew deep into space beginning the great work of categorizing and Gathering data on other worlds and species members of the universe began to diverge from their loops and developed their own personalities and motivations in these early days of the burgeoning universe the matorin labored in darkness and lived in sorrow the best among them were sent to the realm of araka known as the great Refuge this was a glorious place to work safely and happily in the light the damaged and malfunctioning Maturin were sent to carani whose original purpose was to repair the matorin and send them back better than before but the realm of carani was a harsh and unforgiving place and without the governing hand and supervision of the great beings carani soon realized he was ill equipped to repair the murin on his own instead any attempt he made to rebuild the matorin resulted in them being reshaped into weaker and more misshapen forms than the ones they arrived in and giving them weapons to compensate in his shame carani began to send these poorly rebuilt murin to live in seclusion on the southern continent as taga all across the matorin universe began to realize that no Muran scent to carani ever returned they barred off all paths to his land further driving carani into a rage and twisting his mind as the years passed carani became bitter and angry blaming the matorin for his failers deluding himself into thinking that they were not destined to be repaired karani then held captive what Maturin he had left enslaving them and subjugating them to grotesque experiments in order to fortify his own realm for his now Sinister purposes and awaiting any strator who may wander into his traps a passage from bionical books describing the realm of carani describe it as a place where fire provides no warmth while the touch of ice burns dust Falls Cascade over mountains while pools of water sit unmoving thunder makes no noise but the sound of a gentle breeze can be deafening this is a realm of shadow of famine plague and blight a world of Darkness where there is no place for light and the ground screams at your very steps in case it wasn't already obvious the Realms of araka and carani are basically the bionical equivalent of Heaven and Hell where the good matorin are sent to Arta to work in peace and the bad ones who do not perform their jobs correctly are sent to karani basically hell in fact it was a common insult for matorin to use against each other go to karani if it wasn't clear enough during this time of upheaval the growing numbers of TOA soon rendered the hand of araka obsolete with many of its members splitting off to form their own organization dedicated to carrying out the will of moded this new secret society known as the order of manui began to operate in secret keeping a watchful eye over the murin universe to publicly maintain order manui also brought a powerful new race of beings known as the makuda to existence joining together into the Brotherhood of makuda these new beings had the important role of creating new Rahi in the absence of the great beings to perform unique tasks and Aid the matorin resulting in a massive rise of diverse new species as the these makuda experimented with viruses organic material and liquid protodermis itself to create beasts of Burden laborers repairers and more with the city of metr Nui completed it was the Brotherhood of makuta's primary job to protect the city against any and all threats alongside the TOA both with the creation of Rahi beasts bred for battle and defense and by upgrading their own bodies to make them suitable for war individually and finally the First Alliance of TOA into a hesive team was then made a tradition that would endure for the rest of history and the first TOA canisters were built by the matorin as a primary means of Transport for the TOA if the TOA canisters look familiar it's because they literally were the packaging that the toys came in pretty cool Brand Story integration if I do say so myself despite the rise of Mor TOA and the Brotherhood of makuda the zlac continued to pose a major threat to the Maturin and TOA and in a critical moment the leader of the first TOA team leovic hesitated and as a result his entire team was killed by zelac guilt-ridden lovic deserted his post and began to explore the universe without a purpose in spite of this failure the order of matui partnered with araka to create six elite TOA physical embodiments of the elements and unique by the fact that they had never been matorin due to the power of art taka's mask of creation they came into being as TOA they were tahu TOA of fire goali TOA of water Lewa TOA of air kopaka TOA of ice pohatu TOA of stone and onua TOA of Earth remember their names for they would grow to become the central characters in bionical lord for hundreds of years this elite team of toam mat named after matui himself protected the heart of the robot and defended cardui against any and all threats during this active duty in cardui the Tata were trained by weapons Master hydraxon now senior member of the order of matui in preparation for their ultimate Destiny impatient of their endless training and yearning to learn more of their intended purpose tahu leader of the team along with kopaka sought out helis the first TOA demanding to be told a reason for their existence helrick then finally revealed to them their crucial purpose telling them of the mysterious kodri a giant silver sphere created by the great beings in cardui where their Journey would begin it was there that tahoo and Kaka learned of the team's true purpose should matui ever succumb to external attacks or even be overthrown from within they would automatically awaken jettisoning from their TOA canisters and fueling the kodrat with their Elemental energies restoring manui and saving the murin universe and so when they were adequately trained and it came time for the TOA ma to achieve their Destiny they were sent deep deep into the codr and placed in stasis inside special TOA canisters designed to sustain life functions but keep them asleep ready to be summoned in time of Crisis and after this fail safe was put in place the beings called the bag twins queens of the Boro swarms were brought into creation and sent into Slumber alongside the Boro swarms awaiting the time of their Awakening just like the TOA ma but little did this brand new universe know storms were brewing and major internal conflict was about to strike kickstarting some of the most pivotal moments that plunged the universe into conflict and Chang the course of the great spirit robot forever but that's all for next time and with two major fail safes deep in stasis and the matoran universe well on its way to being fully developed thus ends chapter 1 Beginnings previously on

Slumber and the completion of the great city of metroui housed in the brain of the robot construction on the internal workings of the robot had finally come to an end the matorin laborers spread out amongst the island domes were separated isolated to their own homelands and regions and so to maintain order and unite all disparate aspects of the matorn universe the great spirit manui saw fit to bring six new Prime species into existence istance perfect physical specimens who radiated Beauty and absolute power these rulers were known as the baraki which in the matorn language translates directly to Warlords the baraki consisted of prac the strongest and fastest of them all CMA a cruel and emotionless ruler the secretive and isolated mantax elic who was once the most brutal of them all carapar an incredibly powerful physical force and takadox a cunning and treacherous warlord with an eerie hypnosis ability that held his armies in his thr just a side note the images shown on screen like this guy right here for the baraki are actually Four mutated versions of the baraki of course these are not the prime specimens that they once were but as to why they were mutated well you're going to have to wait and find out for that but unfortunately we do not have any images of the baraki premutation so any images shown on screen here are for the Post mutation baraki they're the same characters just underwent a bit of a physical transformation which we'll delve into much much later in the coming chapters the rule of the baraki lasted for nearly a thousand years resulting in a massive military campaign to form an Empire spanning most of the known universe after each of the six baraki maintain peace over their own sector of the matorin universe they banded together in an alliance known as the league of six kingdoms LED overall by pract this league lasted for more than 14 Millennia before it was dissolved but absolute power corrupts absolutely and as the baroi exercise their power as some of the most prominent political and Military figures in the universe it became apparent that some of the methods they used to accomplish their goals were far from peaceful and arose instead from a desire for the acquisition of wealth tyrannical domination and yet more Sinister the overthrow of the great spirit himself monitoring the political situation intensely the Brotherhood of makuda sworn Guardians and Defenders of the great spirit manui paid off the treacherous tedox to act as their spy on the inside of the league of the six kingdoms reporting back to them with troop movements and plans with the League's main focus now Twisted from the preservation of order to the complete domination of all life the maturan universe was under a complete totalitarian state of rule maturan were forced to abandon their post and take up arms as a lead drafted more and more people into their armies and despite metru signing a trade agre agement in exchange for sovereignty and freedom all other domes Across the Universe soon fell to control of the six kingdoms with the baraki succeeding in their initial goal to unite the universe but at a great cost it was at this point that the Brotherhood of makuda decided to step in tedox the mole inside the league informed the Brotherhood that the baraki were prepping their armies to overthrow the great spirit manui himself seeing these Warlords had gone too far the Brotherhood of makuda led by the powerful makuda Miser summoned their own armies to pour forth from their colossal fortresses partnered with every available TOA team they were LED in battle by makuda pterodax a high ranking Lieutenant of the Brotherhood this combined Army swept across the forces of the league overwhelming them in a climactic surprise attack and so with their armies defeated and driven away these six Warlords were brought before makuda pterodax bound and begging for their lives in a final Act of desperation the baraki revealed their details of their plans to makuda pterodax begging him to join them to rule over all the universe in the moment pterodax rejected their treasonous offers sentencing them all to execution for their crimes against manui although of course he secretly planned to spare tedox for all as help and information but before pterodax got a chance to execute this punishment and reveal to the baraki who had betrayed them a crack of energy blasted through the empty Battlefield materializing a being out of thin air before the disgraced Barack and pterodax himself while unaware at the moment we now know this to be the being known as botar teleporting servant of the mysterious order of manui unbeknownst to pterodax and the rest of the makuda the order of manui had a far worse fate planned for the baraki to punish them for their failed Revolt these secret Servants of manui tasked botar to teleport the baraki to a massive prison known as the pit where they would spend the rest of their Eternal lives in prison in the darkest depths of the universe and so as energy bonds wrapped around the baraki and they began to vanish before pterodax his eyes this marked the end of the league of six kingdoms but although The baraki Faded from history and were now forgotten their ideas remained in the mind of pterodax the first seeds of what was to One Day become the darkest and most destructive plot in the history of the Muran Universe part two rise of the Dark Hunters a time of subdued chaos followed these momentous events with the fall of the League of six kingdoms one of the most powerful and influential forces in the universe a vacuum of leadership was created in this vacuum of order and power trouble began to brew on distant Islands throughout the Universe on a secluded island in the southern Realms of the robot a being who would later be codenamed ancient revolted against the government of his home Island doing dirty work for the highest bidder ancients actions quickly plunged this island into chaos starting a bloody Civil War that resulted in most of the Island's population to be wiped out and as the dust settled ancient was approached by another being later known as the shadowed one with a business proposition work together and form a shadowy organization in the underbelly of the universe doing dirty work for good pay thus the idea of the dark Hunters one of the most infamous organizations in history was born conquering a small island called odina and establishing a massive fortress on its Shore ancient and the shadowed one began to rapidly recruit displaced Warriors from the disbanded armies of the League this group would quickly grow a number consisting of corrupted beings Rogue TOA beastial tyrants sadistic murderers convicted criminals insane Wanderers and anyone else corrupt and crazy enough to join their ranks bit of a fun fact here the vast majority of the dark Hunters like ancient here were actually fan models that were canonized in a major contest that the LEGO Group ran in 2005 to put every single dark hunter in a guide book made up of mocks of different characters and builders in the community you can actually check out all of these models because I'm doing a weekly review series called bionical fan and reviews where I'm reviewing every fan created canonized bionical model just like this one so if that's the kind of thing you're interested in please feel free to go check it out part three the great disruption as the dark Hunters grew in power the rest of the universe stumbled Strife malcontent and disorder spread across the lands reach into the very heart of the Torin civilization metr Nui itself thus 500 years after the defeat of the baraki the period known as the great disruption began heralded by the Muran Civil War the great disruption marked a dark time for the universe with no more baraki present to keep the matorin in check it wasn't long until things began to spiral out of control it all started with a minor dispute between pooran the builders and workers of stone and tomorin the crafters and smelters of fire a small Skirmish over trade boundaries and legislation resulted in more and more malicious acts with angered pomor sinking tomator barges and the tomator reacting by allying themselves with the normally peaceful Gator who attempted to stop the conflict these attempts were unsuccessful and soon all work in Metro Nei ceased as the city was engulfed in a full-on civil war onu matorin of Earth joined with gorin as the lay matorn of air and comorin of ice banded together with the pomor with the city descending into violence the main Hub keeping the great spirit robot active and functioning was essentially offline causing a ripple effect through the rest of the universe the best way to imagine just the sheer amount of damage done to the rest of the robot and in turn the matorin universe by metroui going offline is probably by imagining what happens to your own body when you get severe head trauma or say your brain just decides to shut down definitely not a good thing for all of the rest of the systems of the body especially if the head itself is completely powered off which was essentially what was happening while the matorin were busy fighting each other instead of performing their tasks for 400 years the matoran Civil War raged across metroui plummeting the rest of the universe Into Darkness once again the task fell to the Brotherhood of makuda the deao Defenders of order in the universe to remedy the situation with makuda pterodax leading the military forces yet again a drastic plan was enacted remember how one of the main goals of the robot was to catalog and accumulate vast archives of information about animals creatures and civilizations while a vast majority of these animals were contained by force in the great archives of onu metru where underground tunnels and passageways held copies of every species that had been discovered thus far including some of the most vicious Rahi and so in a severe act to stop the Civil War makuda pterodax and his forces rounded up many of the most militaristic murin sealing them in the archives and unleashing the vicious animals within to purge the survivors the matorin leaders who spurred on the conflict were yet again teleported to the pit by botar just like the baraki before them while this traumatic event known as The Archives Massacre did its job to terrify the matoran into subjugation and stop the Civil War the damage was done additionally the bloody methods employed by the makuda lacking any thought for the preservation of Life sparked enduring distrust between the matorin and Brotherhood the consequences of the great disruption were far more widespread than anyone realized the great spirit had been so greatly weakened by the events of the Civil War that he now neared death recap time in chapter 1 Beginnings we explained that there were three legendary kohi masks the most important of which was the kohi ignika whose important role was to Kickstart the Muran universe and the great spirit's life should its life force ever dwindle the way it works is that any member of the Mator Universe can wear the Ana on their face thus absorbing their life energy and sacrificing themselves to Kickstart the universe thus saving the entire world and mani's life so it was that a TOA of magnetism called jovon was charged with leading a group of his fellow TOA to the heart of the Southern continent to the Raging volcano of Mount VMA beneath the fiery mountain jovon and his team discovered a mage of passageways filled with a host of Trials and were tested time and time again by the Guardians of the mountain secret they proved themselves worthy and at last came to the Chamber of life in which waited the kohi ignika the mask of Life placed there by the great being long ages ago the ignika had waited for one destined to take it and use it and its Bearer had come the group of TOA took the ignika from its chamber and traveled even farther down beneath the surface of the continent eventually arriving in ki the core of the universe the TOA who was destined to where the Ana did so fearfully and with regret in his heart and was consumed by the energies of the Mask his life energy was channeled through the mask and used to replenish the life of the dying great spirit the death of their fellow TOA and the fearful power of the ignika shocked and terrified the remaining members of the group who hurriedly returned the MK to its chamber and left in fear and awe only jovon leader of the group chose to stay giving up his power for the greater good and becoming a taga he settled amongst the matorin who lived near Mount vmai his Destiny fulfilled and the utter destruction of the universe averted part four evolution of the makuda and so with one major catastrophe put behind them the maturan universe settled into a period of rebirth and rebuilding metroui was slowly rebuilt and while distrust and Prejudice between certain sects of the matorin still remained for the most part all evidence of the Civil War was swept aside to the history books in the mean time the Brotherhood of makuda focused on damage control and anticipating any upcoming threats as they had allowed the two previous major threats to exist for far too long a member in their ranks named mutron was tasked with ensuring The Entity Tren crom from the early days of the universe did not remain a threat here's a bit of recap from the prologue the cor War Tren crom was a being created by the great beings to govern the maturan universe while it was still being constructed far before the time of araka karani or even the great spirit manui himself trencrom was a horrendous reptilian organism who featured incredible telepathic abilities using his powers to bridge his mind between himself and any member of the Mator Universe to uncover their secrets and to be able to control their will upon discovering trencrom's Island makuda mutron was immediately seized while trenro bridged their minds catching up on all the events of the universe that he had missed in return however he inadvertently shared some of his memories with mut namely that everyone was created by the great beings and the great spirit manui was in fact a colossal AI controlling a robot hurdling through space and it was possible to overthrow the manui AI Consciousness however mutron was expressly loyal to makuda pterodax not the true ruler of the Brotherhood who was makuda miserix since pterodax had led them into battle as miser's Lieutenant time and time again mutron true loyalties lay with him and immediately after turning to The makuda Fortress on destr mutron conveyed what he had learned from Tren crom directly to pterodax who immediately called a major convocation something no makuda other than miserix was allowed to do with all the members of the Brotherhood of makuda gathered in one chamber pterodax gave a grand speech urging them that with this knowledge the makuda had the power to take over the entire universe arguing that since they did all the dirty work for matui anyways why not have them be the ones in constru Miser leader of the Brotherhood stood firm in his values arguing that pterodax his crazy plan could end up destroying the entire universe and this was all a bid by pterodax to overthrow him and so after a brutal fight between the two the makuda were called to a vote pterodax as their leader or Miser while Miser still had some staunch supporters more and more makuda were swayed to pterodax aside with the remaining Defenders of Miser being forced decide with pterodax to go with the majority two members of their ranks makuda spiria and makuda kka were then ordered to kill miserix but since they had been secret supporters of miserix neither had the heart to kill him instead sneaking him off the island and faking his death to pterodax with miserix out of the picture and marooned on an isolated island with no allies pterodax began a massive restructuring of the Brotherhood tasking his most loyal lieutenants gorast and iarax to kill any makuda who had originally sided with miserix pterodax then tasked scientists with the Brotherhood to seek out new races within the matorin universe to see if any could be modified for war prepping for the eventual takeover of the universe makuda spiria discovered a peaceful yet physically Adept race known as the Scotti who he saw fit to alter with viruses granting them powerful laser vision and even Elemental abilities when two Scotti work in conjunction with each other after this newfound evolution of the Scotti spiria left them to their own devices leaving some Rahi of his own design called vizak on the island to keep them in line but when spiria returned it was a total war zone the scoti had shed their peaceful ways and with their new found abilities defeated the viser guards and started to slaughter each other in bids for power not only did he amplify their abilities too much but he instilled in them a sense of violence and Conquest to make them uncontrollable by the makuda as a result spiria was banished from the Brotherhood for killing a race replacing them with horrible monsters who did nothing but destroy of course will see this band of vicious murderers and Psychopathic criminals at some point in the future just you wait for the later chapters while the Brotherhood continued these experiments and began to cease contact with other organizations in the universe the order of manui grew concerned suspicious of the secrecy surrounding their latest ideals since the Brotherhood of makuda used the element of Shadow as a primary power source they would be particularly vulnerable to the element of light particularly if any a matorin were to transform into TOA of light prematurely acting out of Suspicion the order of manui removed several of these matorin of light from their Homeland as they fail safe hiding them from the Brotherhood and disguising them as murin of other elements to conceal their true nature and brainwashing them into thinking they were ordinary Maturin of other elements they were then scattered to random parts of the murin universe decentralizing the main Hub of aorin and so after this task was completed manui erased the memories of the previous 6 months from everyone in the Maturin Universe save members of the order this led to a gap in recorded history known as the time slip where most amorin vanished unbeknown the population on mass and as the years passed the makuda species began to slowly evolve shedding the need for robotic parts and transmuting into a gaseous substance now known as anti dermis this Evolution did come with a significant weakness should the robotic armor of the makuda be breached the anti-er containing the essence of the makuda would seep out eventually killing the makuda within however this Evolution gave the makuda new abilities such as the power to possess any purely robotic shell or suit of armor part five tale of TOA Leon during all these events the grand city of metroui operated in a period of relative peace Under The Firm but just rule of taga Duma an experienced Elder who had served as a TOA for more than 2,000 years under the leadership of tagad Duma metr Nui became a center for Innovation and invention The Archives of onu metru a massive Museum and catalog of all known species and objects in the universe were expanded and improved new technology such as the Koka discs based materials to make new kohi masks were invented along with improved methods for forging kohi security and peace were maintained with the invention of robotic order enforcement squads called vaki Duma was also directly responsible for the mentorship and journey of one matur named Leon and its transformation into a TOA hero protector of metroui soon after his creation Leon 2 grew wary of the Brotherhood of makuda carving a stone tablet in secret that detailed the powers of a makuda their locations and other essential information alongside some other TOA he trusted they then hid this makoki Stone detailing the powers of a makuda their locations and other essential information within a heavily guarded Fortress unknowingly close to a camp of vicious Rahi called Frost Talis when word of the stone reached the dark Hunters the shadowed one sent some Hunters to raid the Fortress and seize this incredibly detailed and valuable tablet of information for themselves amidst all this chaos the neighboring Frost Ellis chose to strike the Fortress and claim it as their territory resulting in the makoki stone being lost to the dark hunters and all of Leon's teammates and Friends being killed as Leon fled the Fortress he swore to never run away from anything ever again eventually the dark Hunters split the makoki stone into six parts and auctioned off each part with all six components eventually being bought out by the Brotherhood of makuda themselves who sought to be the ones to hold all their secrets close at hand but as it turns out Leon would soon have another chance to prove himself in the defense of metui as the ambitious shadowed one leader of the dark Hunters bent his thoughts on the conquest of metroui he Unleashed a monstrous Rahi called the noi dragon from an icy prison deep beneath the waves of the silver sea where it had been trapped countless Millennia ago Awakening from its agel Slumber the enraged Dragon emerged from the depths in a blast of heat and Flame buring up from the bottom of the archives and wreaking havoc amongst the tall towers and buildings eventually the Beast made its way to the great furnace of tetr where it settled to rest and absorbed the immense heat tagad Duma immediately sent out messages calling for help and summoned Leon and all available TOA to confront the terrible monster the TOA arrived just in time to save taga Duma from three dark Hunters who were attempting to Blackmail Duma into securing a base for them within the city the hunters escaped leaving the TOA to confront the kohi dragon alone and after a long and tiring battle they succeeded four TOA of ice froze the kohi dragon in an immense block of ice putting a final end to its destruction the subdue Dragon was taken to the island of Z where it was given to the vortex species for imprisonment 11 TOA now led by Leon then decided to remain in the city to defend against the growing threats of the dark Hunters this new team of TOA dubbed the TOA mangi served as the prominent Protectors of metroui warning off most of these shadowed ones attempts to breach the city walls during this time a rash of inexplicable Muran murders occurred in metroui at this time only three TOA were left to protect the city Leon TOA of fire nadiki TOA of air and tuet TOA of water as a state of emergency was declared in metroui the three TOA set out to hunt this serial killer on the loose discovered with the bodies of the murdered matorin were tablets inscribed with the name of one TOA TOA tuet After confronting their comrade Leon and nadiki got tuya to confess that the dark Hunters were blackmailing her believing her to be in possession of an incredibly powerful artifact known as the newie stone created by unknown beings in the universe to absorb the powers of any TOA in their area and bestow their powers to the user each day that Tu yet refused to give the stone to the dark Hunters they would murder a new maturan claiming to not actually have the stone tuet joined Leon and nadiki in Flushing out the dark Hunters with Leon and nadiki successfully capturing a few dark Hunters as they discovered lurking around the area but to their dismay the murders continued even with the dark Hunters imprisoned immediately realizing two yet must be behind the murders Leon immediately went to confront her tuya then revealed that she did in fact possess the newie stone and used its powers of TOA absorption to enhance her helal abilities she attacked Leon intending to use her powers to set herself up as the sole ruler of metru but this attack was in vain as nadiki and Leon together were able to defeat her blasting the stone with fire destroying it as was the case with all prior insurrectionists the teleporting being known as botar appeared to teleport to yet away to serve her sentence but this was not the last time would see of her tune in to sometime around chapter S or8 where to yet and the newi stone became very very relevant to what we'd call the main story until then just file this information away in your mind because it's not going to be relevant for the next several chapters I'm just giving you this information now because it takes place at this particular point in time to fit with the timeline the events of tet's shocking betrayal and the chaos now gripping metroui prompted the shadowed one to strike bringing on a great TOA dark Hunter War as the shadowed one sent his forces to seize metroui for his own nefarious purposes despite the war being fought valiantly with many TOA giving their lives for metroui the dark Hunters eventually overwhelmed the city beating down the TOA as a constant barrage during this volatile time a dark Huntress named Lisa convinced toan nadiki to betray his brothers and join the Dark Hunters promising to spare him and even allow him to rule parts of the city once the dark Hunters inevitably overthrew to ragad Duma little did Niki know but Leon had been secretly listening in on this deal and after Niki made major moves to betray his fellow TOA Leon struck back surprising the dark hunters and nadiki winning a conclusive victory over their forces honorably Leon let the enemies go with the promise that they never return to metui and they take the treacherous nadiki with them following these events the shadowed one inducted a reluctant nadiki into his ranks partnering him with the brutish and unintelligent dark Hunter kka to keep him in line knowing his pension for betrayal and as the time passed nadiki grew weary of his membership in the dark Hunter ranks seeking any way out he could find and as it turns out opportunity struck with the arrival of a mysterious stranger named raka on the island who sought to be trained by the dark hunters and increase her fighting prowess nadiki immediately approached her promising to train her in return for a ticket off the island but Ruda was a dishonest and traitorous being much like nadiki himself and at the first opportunity she backstabbed nadiki selling him out to the shadowed one and revealing his intent to leave their ranks and so as a cruel punishment the shadowed one demanded more telling her that nadiki had to be stripped of his dreams as a TOA once and for all raka then used her customized weapon called Ruka on nadiki mutating him into a hideous four-legged creature bereft of his elemental powers and with no choice left but to submit to the dark Hunter's will part six Corruption of the makuda for many Millennia the toah haa and elite toatin were tasked as pterodax personal bodyguards with their job to protect this leader of the Brotherhood of makuda from harm the toah haa truly believed they were performing an honorable deed But as time progressed the toah haa discovered a horrible truth the makuda had been directly responsible for a series of mysterious and dark attacks and misdeeds in recent history in a massive Strike Force against the holy city of araka the makuda who was originally tasked to protect araka turned against it stealing the powerful kohia Voki the mask of light from arakas fortresses with an army of robotic exoa armor vizar spiders and raki particularly devious Rahi loyal to makuda the makuda also had been partnering with the dark Hunters funding their recent strikes and fueling the conflict between them and metroui and even held sway over the vicious vizer hords long thought to be an uncontrolled Menace or Rahi experiment gone wrong at once the toah haa launched a raid on the Brotherhood Fortress at Destro where they stole back the ioki and makoki stones but not before four of their members were captured by the ruthless raka who was now working directly for pterodax after receiving the favor of the shadowed one for backstabbing and mutating nadiki raka used those same mutagenic powers to transform the for captured toah haa into beastial malformed creatures she called rahaga a combination of hagga and raki for their grotesque appearance resembl the vile raki two members of the hagga noric TOA of fire and ironi TOA of air managed to escape after barely beating makuda pterodax himself in direct combat and so after returning to free their mutated comrades rudakas struck them in the back as they fled mutating them too into rahaga but not before they were able to escape with the ioki mask of light and makoki Stone as the former toah haa last defense against the makuda fled deep into the archives pterodax was free to enact his plans afraid of the toa's potential to damage their armor the makuda began a covert genocide of all TOA of iron wiping them off the face of the map and now with the treachery of the Brotherhood exposed pterodax enacted his final plan infecting the great spirit manui with a virus which would gradually render the great spirit komos its effects were weren't immediately apparent but would have serious ramifications over the entire universe as a whole continuing to enact this grand plan pterodax imprisoned terraa Duma and used his shape-shifting powers to impersonate him for over a year and a half during this time pterodax under the guise of the benevolent tagad Duma gradually called all TOA away to secure sea Gates where they were killed by a hired dark Hunter Eliminator pterodax also hired nadiki and kka who helped him with various tasks in metr and so with all the TOA mangai wiped out only Leon remained growing suspicious of tagad Duma who had conveniently sent all his comrades to their debts TOA Leon Reed himself to choose six matorin to become new TOA in his dead previously on Bionicle rold chapter 2 rise of the Brotherhood corruption deep inside the heart of the matorin universe the Brotherhood of makuda once the Protectors of peace and Justice have secretly turned dark plotting to overthrow the great spirit matui and led by the ambitious makuda pterodax the brotherhood's tendril spread across the universe stoking the flame of conflict between metroui the brain of the robot and the dark Hunters ruthless bounty hunters with their eyes set on this city of Legends while Noble TOA once protected the city and the universe from harm many have met their Fates in mysterious accidents out on mission for the wise Elder tagad Duma who was secretly ter ax in Disguise now the fate of metroui and the World falls into the hands of one battle weary Warrior toon as he urgently seeks to transfer his power into six new worthy matorin creating the next generation of Heroes this is bionical retold [Music] chapter 3 legends of metr Nei part one Fist of the vaki under the leadership of the false tagad Duma metr Nei slowly fell from a beacon of light and order to a dark orwellian police state matoran were forced to work longer and longer hours with those who refused meeting Grizzly Fates with oversight from the false Duma the vaki police force were retrofitted with staffs of suggestion tools that could bend the mind of even the most strong willed maturan and force them back to work vaki nurak used staffs of command to fill their targets mind with a single overriding command that was obeyed until the effect wore off vaky borak used staffs of loyalty to fill the target with a strong desire for duma's sense of order causing them them to betray even their closest friends or minor infractions zadok used staff's a suggestion turning the matorin against each other and using them to convince Troublesome comrades to return to work vaki kirak used staffs of confusion scrambling their target sense of time and place to prevent troublemaking razak used staffs of presence allowing them to see and hear what their target saw or heard without their knowledge these powerful staffs also allowed the roac to detect any rebellious thoughts matorin May hold quashing them before they ever got to act on their thoughts and worse of all the vaki vorac used staffs of erasing temporarily eliminating their targets higher mental functions leaving intact only motor skills the targets of all these staffs were called shamblers murin wandering aimlessly through the streets of the Metros with the vaki police force the false Duma kept a firm grip over the city of metroui punishing any infractions incredibly harshly and modifying the vy's AI processing units to use extreme force and brutality whenever possible while the staffs never physically harm matorin permanently as to not decrease productivity the mental reifications of the v's abilities cause the murin workforce to live in constant Perpetual fear forever watched by the vaki that lurked above even Beyond this powerful police force new threats lurked in the outskirts of metroui makuda pterodax operating Incognito throughout the city as Duma Unleashed a vile intelligent plant known as the moru on the edges of the city stretching its Vines deep within matorin civilization the morac was designed to push the murin into the center of the city making them centralized in one place don't worry if you're confused you're going to find out exactly why pterodax wanted all of the murin of metroui in one centralized location later on in this chapter so don't worry about that and sit tight for now the morbiz O's first known action was to grow vines in the area of the great furnace and drive the matorin away allowing it to grow its king rut in the center of the massive building fueled by molten protodermis and the Flames from there it spread its Vines all throughout the city attacking structures and murin seemingly at random although of course mostly keeping to the edges of the various metru the matorin and even some vaki fought back but it was clear that the morbach was too strong for them to defeat this Extreme Rising threat of the morak coupled with Dumas push to a dystopian police state caus TOA Leon sole protector of Metro Nei to grow deeply suspicious of its leadership and form his own plans part two faithful murin to Mighty TOA After many long years guarding the mighty city of metroui alone TOA Leon secretly stole six TOA stones from the Great temple in G metru transformative objects with the power to Grant a Ator an Incredible strength fighting prowess and Elemental abilities becoming a towera themselves just as he ready to leave a massive blast Rock the the temple and Leon found himself face to face with his former comrade turn Traer the dark Hunter Niki and kka the brutish and hulking dark Hunter assigned to keep nadiki in line escaping after a short Skirmish Leon hurried himself to Grant the six stones to six matorin he deemed worthy of becoming TOA and yet in an ironic twist of fate makuda pterodax himself used his mental abilities to influence Leon's decision twisting his mind to pick six Maturin who are quarrelsome discording and overall not fit to be TOA but little did pterodax know but the order of manui who had been secretly watching all these events unfold had personally tricked pterodax into influencing Leon to pick the correct set of Heroes whose flaws would later take them on an emotional journey to grow into the true Guardians of the city in the G metru School District Leon delivered the first stone to noama a teacher who was wise Beyond her years moving to PO metr the second Stone went to onua a stubborn Carver and Craftsman in the quaries next was kru where a scholar named nuju received the third Stone in turn an archist named wua from onu Metro was granted the fourth and a test driver named matau from lie Metro was given the fifth finally Leon descended on his home region tetri bearing the final Stone to a tomator forger named vakama when Leon discovered vakama he was deep in the midst of crafting a mask using the most powerful discs available to him to Forge the legendary mask of time just a quick recap of the events of the prologue in chapter 1 Beginnings the great beings who are the people responsible for creating this entire murin universe actually drafted up plans to make three legendary kohi the kohi ignika or the mask of life was the fail safe placed within Mount vmai to restart the heart of the great spirit manui the mask of creation was given to araka which allowed him to create literally anything the the kogi vahi which was the mask of time was originally created to allow users to slow or speed up time in certain areas of the robot but unfortunately due to the events of the shattering the great beings never actually got to make this mask instead being forced to abandon their plans as the robot left the planet of spherus Magna what's really significant about this is that certain members of the Muran Universe namely vakama actually have the ability to create a legendary kohi such as the vahi which means that their minds are about as sophisticated as some of the great beings were which definitely goes to show just how far these cients viika gave them has gone in Tom metru Leon snuck into the forge granting vama with the final TOA Stone and leaving him with cryptic messages to rescue the city from the grip of the morbach and something far darker with all Stones delivered and instructions given to the Maturin to go to the Great temple Leon's final task was done but before he got a chance to leave Leon's Revelation to vakama was interrupted when nadiki sprung from the Shadows of the forge along with kka after a short fight nadiki dangled the helpless vakama over the burning furnace forcing Leon to throw down his weapons and surrender himself or else Watch vakama Burn as Leon was bound by the dark hunters and vakama barely escaped alive the grip of the morisak tightened around Tom metru forcing a widespread evacuation to the center of the city with its soul protector and chains and a false leader commanding the murin these were dark times for metr Nui and so in the temple in G metru these six matorin gathered to fulfill their Destiny they were stubborn harboring ill will towards each other with the remants of long past Muran Civil War still influencing their bias struggling to keep the peace among the newly assembled group noama attempted to reconcile the murin as their TOA Stones began to Glow activated by their presence in the temple six tendrils of energy burst from the raised sua striking the bodies of the Maturin and imbuing them with TOA energy and so they were transformed and that day signal the solemn end of their Muran lives no longer were they humble Craftsmen now they were powerful warriors new Protectors of the city vakama TOA of fire noama TOA of water matau TOA of air nuju TOA of ice Ona TOA of stone and Wu TOA of Earth together they would become the TOA metru icons of peace and Justice across the city but they were far from a cohesive team yet and a series of trials and tribulations awaited them part three the great search as The toea observed their new forms in awe vakama was struck with a vision of the great discs six of the most powerful Koka discs in existence while standard Koka discs were plentiful and could be used to form many masks around the city the six great discs were something special created by Arta himself with the intent to be fused together into a disc of Time Each great disc represented one of these six Elemental metrus across the vast City Beyond this the discs were the only objects with the power to eliminate the king rut of the morbach destroying its grip on the city and so the TOA set out on a grand quest to seek out and uncover the hidden locations of the discs partnering with murin who had been entrusted with the locations of the disc discs the TOA took on this new task with varying levels of enthusiasm only one in particular doubting vk's visions and belittling what he saw is a mere scavenger hunt just a quick note here I am kind of blasting through one of these first major initial arcs for the TOA metu mostly because it's not too too relevant for the main story as a whole kind of unfortunate I have to do this but we do have to cut this down into a format that is easily digestible that being said if you are interested in this setting or in these character characters I actually would highly recommend that you go and check out the search for the Maturin and the search for The Masks which were comic and book arcs which covered the story that I've summarized in very very quick format here which especially details the TOA metu learning how to use their Elemental abilities trying to work together as a team and really gives a lot of characterization to each member some of which I'll barely even mention throughout this recap so if you are interested in these characters and want to learn more about their personalities defin go check out those Books and Comics because they do do a great job of setting up these people as a TOA team just not necessarily major world breaking stuff that we'll have to officially discuss in these recap videos as the TOA sought out the discs and grew into their new forms they were deceived by the treacherous pooran amau who had been paid off by nadiki to ens snare the other Maturin who knew the locations of the discs and confuse the TOA into wasting their time and running into traps I'm mentioning a now because this is not the last we'll see of this slippery character in many more stories to come just remember amau is kind of a devious guy blaming each other for this deception the toer were forced to fight to overcome their differences banding together to use the disc to eventually destroy the morbach in a climactic battle resulting in the utter annihilation of the vines and the vicious plants grip on the city to diminish triumphant in their first Great quest the TOA met return to the Coliseum where they would show that they were indeed Heroes of metr Nui but before being able to claim their Victory and present the great disc to tagad Duma the TOA Metro were sidetracked in onu metru by a crowd of panicking onu matorin urging them to descend into the depths of the archives and help seal an underwater leak that threatened to flood the entire District in the darkness of the archives the toas struggled to act as a cohesive team constantly bickering and interrupting each other's Elemental attacks little did they know but they were being stalked by a highly intelligent shape-shifting Rahi known as Kaka who was angered by their intrusion into her territory but also deeply curious about the nature of the TOA observing their discordance Kaka used their conflict to her advantage to confuse the TOA and further her agenda sowing seeds of distrust and conflict in the group The TOA metru came close to killing each other before nuju stepped in to calm the team uncovering The Crafty shape shifter's plots in a climactic battle with the croca noama managed to tricker into assuming a combination of the bodies of all six toam metru overwhelming the telepathic shape-shifting Rahi with information and allowing the TOA metru to escape with the battle behind them and the cracks in the archives sealed the TOA returned to the surface of the city with an important lesson in trust learned part four Trials of the TOA metru in the grand Coliseum of metr Nui the TOA metu finally made their first public appearance to the assembled crowd presenting the great disc to taga Duma the TOA metr prepared to be officially sworn in as the Protectors of metr Nei but little did they know that Duma secretly pterodax in Disguise would make it much much harder for them belittling their quest for the disc and decrying them as useless Duma ordered the TOA to pass a great test to prove they were not imposters and deserve to be the Guardians of the city yet again the TOA failed to show Unity tackling the task individually and refusing to work together and so as Duma ordered the II to swarm the TOA three of their rank were captured nuju wanua and onua while only vakama matau and noama managed to escape with the remaining to aetu framed for Leon's disappearance and the vaki on high alert pterodax prepared to enact his final plans still in the guise of Duma and so after many confrontations with the vaki and the dark Hunter pair of nadiki and kka the three remaining toet slowly and painfully began to learn to work as a team as they unlocked their Mass Powers one by one noama using her mask of translation to commune with a rampaging Rahi hord and matau using the mask of shape-shifting to fool nadiki and kka using similar tactics to shape shifting Rocky craka used on him to se Discord between the dark Hunters all this time vakama continued to be beset by Twisted visions of the future foreseeing a vast web covering metroui his own face contorted into a monster and a failure to save his team and the City throughout these Adventures the three TOA encountered yet another monstrous intelligent Rocky known as The tatarak Who emerged from a crevice in the ground demanding an answer to a mysterious question after temporarily incapacitating the mysterious speaking Rahi the battle weary Trio sought refuge on a vaky transport in poetr still seeking to find the missing Leon and free their missing comrades in the meantime nuju Ona and wena strove constantly to free themselves from their cell but continued to fail yet again due to their non-stop bickering with some even giving up accepting their fate it was then that a mysterious figure emerged from the depths of the prison a taga who simply told them that they could easily get out if only they activated their unique mask powers and work together as a team under the instruction of this strange figure the three TOA began a journey of self-discovery of their own meanwhile in the scuttling vaki transport vakama noama and matau discovered a multitude of Eerie spherical storage containers upon placing his hand on the surface of a container vakama was struck with another vision of a matorin sealed within her eyes gleaming a crimson Hue Awakening from his Ry traumatized vakama opened the containers revealing only emptiness within before they could investigate further they were beset by the dark Hunters skirmishing with them across the fields of poetr before narrowly escaping with their lives at this time in the prison of the dark hunters wanua and Ona ceased their work and argued amongst each other frustrated with the trivial task given to them by their taga it was then that Ona's mask power inadvertently activated commanding his comrade to take a seat and discovering his mask of Mind Control simultaneously nuju discovered the powers of his mask of telekinesis using his mental Force to tear down a prison wall and allowing the three TOA to escape alongside the mysterious Elder with wway using his mask of night vision to see through the caverns of Po metru and find a rud out it wasn't long until the toam metru were finally reunited at last sharing Tales of their exploits the Elder then revealed himself to be Leon his power drained and fully transformed into a taga after he had transformed the six matorin into TOA metru while lakama believed they had completed their mission and saved what he believed to be the heart of metroui Leon was disappointed in the TOA in all their bickering conflicts and side quest they had failed to address the root of the problem and uncover pterodax true plan which involved the endangered Tor all his attempts to weaken the city from the brutal vaki to the vines of the morak and even to the capture and detainment of the TOA had resulted in a populace ready and willing for subjugation and control and so deep in the catacombs of poetr the TOA finally uncovered the truth taga Duma was an impostor and the real duma's body was kept in suspended animation in one of the mysterious metal spheres part five the great cataclysm rushing to confront the false Duma the six TOA metru alongside taga Leon sped towards the grand Coliseum but they were too late the robotic vaki had rounded up all the matorin placing them in hibernation within the many spherical pods they discovered earlier upon confronting the false Duma they learned he was pterodax in Disguise and his plan to take over the great spirit was well underway as a note kodac specifically placed the matorin into these spherical pods which would induce Amnesia and make them forget everything about their lives in metroui so that when pterodax eventually woke up these matorin they would only know him as their ruler as another side note these are actually the lids to the canisters that the TOA metru came in which is some more pretty fun toy set integration even where the packaging is concerned and yes you can fit a full Maturin inside this sphere pterodax is virus to render the great spirit manui komos had taken grip over the murin universe causing the now slumbering great spirit robot to plummet from its orbit in a cruel twist of fate the robot was ready to return to the star system that started it all the remains of spherus Magna now split into the three celestial bodies but as it orbited around aquam Magna and broke its orbit the great spirit robot plummeted crashing into the waves of the ocean planet massive earthquake struck the entire maturan universe with widespread Devastation wreaking havoc on the internal mechanism in the destruction pterodax began to siphon and consume metr nui's power source for himself prepping to take Maui's place as the prime intelligence in command of the robot Universe the events of this great cataclysm were widespread resulting in several major and climactic events to simultaneously occur Across the Universe some of the events I'm about to describe relating to the great cataclysm are too too relevant for the story as a whole just keep them in mind because I'm saying them now because they chronologically take place at this time and don't worry I will mention great cataclysm in the future when they become relevant again I'm just telling you them now because it happens in chronological order the most important of these is probably what happened to the baraki which we're about to get to if you recall from last chapter rise of the Brotherhood the baraki were these six Warlords who were basically perfect physical specimens who once ruled over the league of six kingdoms which United the lands of the Muran Universe although eventually they were captured and sent to the massive jail which was the pit as the robots struck Aqua Magna and shock waves cascaded over the world the great prison of the pit was smashed open with the prisoners being engulfed in the black Waters of aquam Magda as radiation leaked from the damaged robot and mixed with the Foreign Waters of the ocean a mutagenic substance affected the prisoners twisting their physical forms and transforming them into full-on water breathers most notably the once proud baraki Warlords were mutated into grotesque animalistic monsters cursed to lurk the depths of the ocean as the baraki escaped they murdered hydraxon who was the warden of the prison and member of the order of manui who trained the TOA ma himself elsewhere in the universe the southern continent which house the pivotal Mount VMA and sacred mask of Life split apart with a section of the continent breaking away from the mainland and skyrocketing upwards bursting forth onto the external shell and finally settling as a floating island outside of the main robot on the surface of aquam magna's ocean the villagers who survived the harrowing events came to call this island voan Nei for great Voyage in the matoran language sadly taga jovon the former TOA of magnetism and member of the team who saved the great spirit perished in this Ascent on this island two agents of the order of manui were stationed brutaka who was deeply shaken by the event and believed the great spirit had either perished or abandoned the universe and His companion axon who stood firm in his faith for the great spirit to one day return despite their disagreements both Warriors stood guard in secret over the mask of Life continuing to fulfill their duties in cardui the heart of the universe the mutagenic irradiated water spilled into the Dome filling the base of the heart of the robot with a Great Swamp coalescing on the ground of cardui stalactites on the ceiling of cardui were dislodged as the remaining aorin who had once lived in the caves above fell into the Dome with the stalactites and established Villages upon the surface of cardui even the makuda fortress on destral wasn't safe with massive damage being dealt to the Brotherhood headquarters and some makuda specifically makuda ick began to question pterodax grand plan which thus far had resulted in chaos Across the Universe in the aftermath of the great cataclysm the great spirit robot's camouflage system was accidentally triggered forming a dense Jungle Island on the face of the robot with which would come to be known as the island of manui pipes inside the robots head leaked its fuel source energized protodermis which spurred plant growth and created the Island's diverse climates if you recall back to the prologue energized protodermis was the substance that sparked the war between the glatorian causing the core War to start and the planet to be ripped apart it had pretty amazing and magical transformative properties as well now this energized protodermis leaked out Across the Universe mutating many of the animals and species within many Rahi who had been rowing free around metroui also escaped to this island refuge in the chaos and finally in a last ditch attempt to save the system the toam ma Protectors of manui were launched from the heart of cardui in their canisters ready to awaken from their Slumber and spring to action to restart the core of the robot and perform their Duty as a fail safe against a cataclysmic event such as this tragically they were launched too late and the Damage Done to their canisters from the fall cause them to malfunction sealing the toam ma inside the dormant canisters and plunging them to the ocean of aquam Magna around madeni where they would lay in Slumber for another Thousand Years slowly losing all their memories and forgetting their training but most Grievous of all the Tremors reduced much of metroui to ruin the archives were destroyed and the Rahi within escaped the great Hub of Li metru its vast cables and shoots fell to the destructive forces and became a mechanized Jungle of chaos G metru schools were ravaged by the quake as well and the experiment labs are released to wander in the night the Temple of the great spirit the most sacred structure of metroui was nearly completely destroyed much of Tom Metro was overcome with molten protodermis and the kru knowledge Towers fell to ruin as pterodax consumed the power of the city the TOA metru sought refuge and retreated to seek out a safe haven with the remaining vaky and dark Hunter pair still in pursuit in his G makuda pterodax activated a shadowy absorption power sucking in both Rocky and dark hunters and absorbing their Essences and so the former toan nadiki met his fate besides kka combined and overridden with pterodax his will guilt in his heart as the TOA fled the city vama came to a revelation combining the six great discs he was able to forge the legendary mask of time right when he received yet another Vision showing him the way to the newly created island of manui as they rode across the sea of protodermis makuda pterodax blocked off their Escape Route in a new winged form the power of the city surging through him to buy his team time vakama confronted pterodax with the newly created mask of time placing the mask over his in a last minute bid to slow time around them unfortunately vama was overwhelmed with the power of the Mask unfamiliar with how to operated and slowing time around both himself and pterodax Leon appeared at that moment blocking pterodax his shadow hand with a shield sacrificing himself for vakama the resulting blast was fatal for the taga and the vahi fell from V's head into the ocean pterodax freed from the mass power Dove from the wall after it and so with his last breath Leon gave vakama his mask and uttered his final words I am proud to have called you brother TOA vakama in his grief the discovered his mask power that of invisibility and went once again to confront the winged dark entity with the vahi Lost in the sea the enraged pterodax attacked vakama and in a final battle against this evil force the six TOA metru having finally learned Unity sealed pterodax in a temporary TOA seal to buy time for their retreat with the battle behind them the TOA set out for a new Refuge sailing through a new crack made in the robots external shell it was matau who had flown ahead of the transport and first beheld the new land above noama carved small images of the TOA metu into stone to document their Journey as they last left the winding darkened tunnels and sailed onto a gleaming ocean dazzling with an island that would come to be known as manui part six mutation with metru Nei destroyed and its matorin population in Slumber the TOA metru were defeated only able to celebrate a small temporary victory over pterodax their most Monumental tasks still lay ahead to return to the broken metroui and recover the Maturin population preparing them for a new life on the island of manui on their return to metroui the TOA yet again faced many trials combating the much more intelligent prototype to the morzac plant that pterodax had discarded and learning much more about the mysterious powers of energized protodermis yeah again I'm really skimming through these Adventures here the TOA actually had quite a lot of Adventures before returning to metui I'm just jumping to the most important ones but definitely if you want the full experience be sure to go down to the links in the description below where I've linked some of the major compilations of the bionical storyline I think the one that I'm describing right now was actually the plot to one of the Game Boy games where the TOA faced off against the Prototype plant for the morbach which was actually named karani and there was a lot of really interesting character stuff that went into that even face some sort of a Rahi Nei that would become relevant later on in the story but it's just so much to talk about right now now we got to move past the most important events so again check those out if you are interested in these characters and learning more about their personalities as the TOA metru made their way back to metroui battling newly mutated monsters and creatures as they went a Darkness descended on the formerly great City summoned by pterodax to free him from his seal and Conquer The City the vizer hordes descended on metroui led by the devious Ruda and citak the so-called King of the vizer as a quick recap from last chapter Ruda was the devious woman who transformed the toah haa into rahaga and in turn gained the favor of makuda pterodax and now serves as basically his right-hand woman as they Advanced towards metroui the TOA saw a large number of raki Rahi and webs covering the dark and crumbling City the city's archives had been broken and the Rahi were roaming free around metroui left to their own devices traveling along the ocean the ship was struck by Fierce storm that capsized the crew the TOA were washed ashore and their transport was utterly destroyed in the process still prowling the city but cut loose from their original programming the vaki remained an everpresent threat but the real danger was up ahead as vakama brazenly led his team Into the Heart of the City they were ambushed by the vizak spiders using their paralyzing weapons hung high above the great Coliseum and conon by the vizer the TOA Metra were bit by The Vicious Rahi injected with vizer Venom and mutated into half TOA half Rahi freaks called hordika no longer TOA metu these were the TOA hordika nightmarish versions of themselves who struggled to retain a grip on their sanity as the toah hordika were released to plummet to their deaths by raka they were saved at the last moment by the former toah haa using their Nimble rahaga forms to navigate through the sky and seize the TOA as they fell they took them into the ruins of G metru where the rahaga told the TOA that the hordika Venom they had been injected with needed to be neutralized or else the Venom would make their mutations permanent their only hope was a fable highly intelligent Rahi spoken of in myths and legends called kangu a powerful Rahi gifted in the knowledge of Venoms and their counter agents and possibly possess the power to heal the TOA just a quick recap before we move on to the next section in part two I describ the powerful kohi Aoki the mask of Light which the rahaga stole from the Brotherhood Fortress on destral and fled before being transformed into rahaga themselves they actually stole this alongside the makoki stones which was a tablet detailing the powers and abilities and weaknesses of the entire Brotherhood of makuda which had then been split into six parts in a bidding war led on by the dark Hunters basically all you need to know is that the to hardika go on a grand quest to find all six pieces of the makoki stone to unlock the kohi Aoki which the rahaga had hidden in a away in order to prevent from falling in the wrong hands for all intents and purposes this is basically a team building exercise which has no major ramifications on the story and essentially it's just a tale told to show the toor adika getting accustomed to their new beastial forms and even learning how to fight as part animals not really too relevant to the story but it is there if you do want to check it out biom media project does have this entire story which was told through web animations at the time honestly these web animations aren't really too riveting so we're going to skim past them both story-wise although if you really want to dive into it they are there but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it over some of the other more gripping bionical material part seven betrayal over the course of their Adventures as toah hardika these newly mutated Heroes had to become accustomed to their new forms perfecting the power of their Ruka spinner weapons and focusing on suppressing their animal instincts however while some of them like noama and nuju excelled at using their new forms for good vakama whose mental and emotional state was deteriorating rapidly frequently left the group for long walks consumed by his guilt over failing to save the matorin and his team egged on by snull remarks by matau who blamed him for their transformation vakama was plummeting into despair on one of these walks he was ambushed by The vizak Who paralyzed him and brought him before Ruda taking advantage of his emotionally vulnerable state raka convinced vakama that his friend friends no longer cared for him playing to his insecurities and promising him the loyalty and power of The vizer Horde should he choose to lead by her side little did vakama know but this was all a ploy to usurp citak the king of the viz horde give the horde to vama and then free pterodax with the elemental powers of V's team members but so with his mind muddled with hordika Venom a confused and angry vakama succumbed to raka pledging his loyalty to The Horde and allowing his Venom to take over his mind under the leadership of Ruda V's first mission was to Ambush his former friends and capture the rahaga which he successfully accomplished under the cover of night leaving only noric barely alive to tell the tale vakama returned to the colum with the captured rahaga now the leader of the horde however just before they were captured the rahaga managed to parse location of kangu from inscriptions within the Great temple conveying to the toah hardika where to find the mysterious Rahi underneath an icy underground Mountain beneath metui kangu revealed himself agreeing to help them if only they could prove themselves using the hordika forms and so the Battle of metr Nui commenced breaking through the coliseum's defenses the five remaining toah hardika converged on The Horde with matal grabbing vakama and dueling him one-on-one meanwhile the Behemoth kangu smashed through the throne room confronting sidak and Ruda the devious raka Slipped Away revealing her betrayal to cidar but only a moment before kangu smashed CID to the ground damaging his body Beyond repair and utterly killing him meanwhile matau and vakama battled alone with matau apologizing for his harsh words and asking vakama to rejoin the team in a moment of hesitation matau seemingly plummeted to his death but coming to his senses bakama saved his teammate redeeming himself and rescuing matau seconds before his demise as the rest of the toah hardika freed the rahaga and Jo Jo the fight vakama used his Newfound command Over The vizer Horde to disperse their ranks leaving only a corner raka preparing to end the fight the six TOA blasted her with their elemental powers but to their dismay this was exactly what Ruda wanted as at TOA funneled their elemental power to defeat her a piece of the seal they had used to bind pterodax broke off from raka causing a ripple effect to eventually free pterodax himself pterodax is Shadow projection enveloped her body whisking her away for further misdeeds and yet despite pterodax being Unleashed and raka escaping the toah hardika had proved they had overcome their differences and worked as a team gaining the favor of kangu who reverted them back to their original Metro forms with his special antivenom and so with the vizak threat demolished and the Muran capsules free for rescue the TOA began to long and uous process of transporting the matorin to their new home part eight fate of the V as at TOA made their way back to manui on airships carrying the slumbering murin vakama held back one final mission Forefront in his mind to search for and retrieve the missing kohi vahi mask of time which was lost during their battle with pterodax many moons ago meanwhile the shadowed one leader of the dark Hunters was furious with the loss of two of his most valuable assets nadiki and kka who he assumed had been killed by the toam metru and so with the vizar W gone the shadowed one made preparations to return to metroui in person to get revenge for the loss of his two agents accompanied by his bodyguard sentak and a times sensitive dark Hunter named vak whose sole purpose was to track the vahi he left under the cover of night and sailed for what remained of Metro new just a quick fun note about vak he was created by the shadowed one in order to detect the mask of time it was literally his only purpose the shadowed one made him from an exp experiment to be time sensitive and detect the kogi vahi or mask of time wherever it may appear unfortunately this came with a very dangerous side effect vpr's skin emitted temporal radiation which means that if you touched him even just for a few seconds you would be aged thousands of years making him literally have a living death touch and essentially becoming a living weapon as such he was one of the most feared dark Hunters although he was rarely let out on Mission other than to to track down the kohi vahi and you sure bet that this power is definitely going to backfire at some point just wait and see after searching through the rubble and waves vakama finally recovered the kohi vaji which had been damaged in the battle and leaking time energy in every direction affecting the wildlife and plants around it after repairing it with his Mass making abilities vakama was struck by a mysterious attacker who claimed the vahi and left him unconscious Awakening in a dreamlike state vakama found he was no longer a TOA in fact his body had reverted to a powerless Maturin after spending what felt like a few days in this strange mirror World vakama slowly started to discover that all was not as it seemed and he was actually placed under a deep Illusion by makuda pterodax who had found him unconscious on the beach and wished to confuse him and keep him in a trans-like state right as he was about to break free of the illusion a strange organic creature affix itself to V's face giving him a vision of the the future in his mind vakama encountered a noble TOA of Sonics named krua the last Bastion against unknown evil forces defending a lone Tower in his vision krua approached him warning him of threats to come and explaining the coming of a new TOA team known as the TOA inika who would make a perilous Quest into the darkest Place imaginable krua relayed to vakama crucial information without these TOA andika krua would never become a TOA and his defense against the dark Forces would not ever become to pass just a quick note here the organic creature that affixed itself to V's face is a very special time-sensitive rocki when placed on your face it can give you flash forwards to the Future and even open a path of communication between yourself and someone in the possible future as to who placed it there and why it attacked aama specifically all of those answers are coming later and honestly they're not too relevant right now this exists in this particular story for two main reasons number one one is so vakama could have some sort of a understanding of what's to come so he could help advise the next teams of TOA specifically the TOA Ina which were just mentioned and number two I mean it's classic squl bait giving a character a Flash Forward of something darker yet ahead and showing some sort of TOA team or Heroes that would face that Darkness sometime in the future literally just teasing what's to come this specific vision would not really come to pass until several chapters later in chronological order we'd actually see this at around chapter 5 or 6 if my calculations are correct so just stay tuned until then and I will be referencing it as to what exactly this creature is and who placed it there the explanation is also coming but one thing the bionical writing team like to do was seed things really early in advance and then pay them off years later this payoff would happen literally years later so just sit tight for Now understand there's some sort of special time sensitive organic Rahi that can give people visions and connections the future and if you can accept that then you're all good before he got a chance to finish however the creature was ripped from V's face and he found himself face to face with makuda pterodax once again who after a short altercation informed him that the vahi was in the possession of the dark Hunter vorak who had knocked vakama unconscious when pedak stumbled upon his body this forced the toea of fire and the master of Shadows to work together to retrieve the vaji As vakama and pterodax made their way to the dark Hunter's camp in inside the Great temple kangu emerged from the Shadows to challenge pterodax to combat sensing his dark presence leaving vakama to Infiltrate The Lair of the dark hunters and combat the shadowed one's bodyguard Sentra alone as the two battles raged inside and out of the temple kangu began to buckle under pterodax blows while vakama succumbed to Sentra just as pterodax was about to deliver the killing blow to kangu a powerful blast rocked the temple sending all four combatants flying at the feet of the shadowed one quickly chaining kangu and holding vakama and pterodax at Bay the shadowed one challenged vakama saying he would pay for destroying two of his most trusted operatives it was then that vakama urged the shadowed one to take a closer look at pterodax revealing that in fact pterodax had been the one to kill nadiki and kka not the toam metru after seeing elements of both Fallen hunters and pterodax is armor the pair of powerful villains began to battle the shadowed one's disintegrating I beams destroyed much of pterodax chest plate and both of his wings vakama saw his moment and took the mask of time from the shadowed one by surprise swooping down from the air using his jetpack launcher blasting a laser from his eye beams the shadowed one shot vakama sending him falling to his apparent death the shadowed one wanted to head after the Fallen TOA but pterodax threw him at the fallen vpra in his surprise causing the shadowed one to age several thousand years just in contact with vpra skin barely escaping with his life The Shadow one vowed war on the Brotherhood of makuda and pterodax himself kickstarting a major conflict between the two evil organizations that would have major future ramifications in the universe vakama barely had a moment to flee the scene of the battle when pterodax caught up to him cornering him in an old Reclamation chamber with no other options vakama threatened to destroy the mask of time which would cause all reality to become undone in a cataclysmic blast and so vakama struck a deal with pterodax proposing that he allow to depart with the mask and leave the matorin kangu tagad Duma and the rahaga in peace for one whole year naturally pterodax was outraged but with no other options and weakened from his battle with the shadowed one he agreed to the terms vowing he would descend upon their Island home one year from that day to threaten the matorin with Darkness once again as vakama weily retreated to matui pterodax Came Upon an abandoned matorin sphere which contained the Shifty pom matorin AC ma who had betrayed the toam metru for money long ago Awakening him from his Slumber and feeding his mind with lies and twisted Tales pterodax gained himself one new faithful servant amau who would go on to infiltrate the island of manui and prove to be a Troublesome thorn in their side for all of civilization eventually all of the TOA metu reached the new island of manui safe from pterodax his wrath for one year the rahaga kangu and tagad Duma agreed to stay behind in metr Nui preparing it for their eventual return and rebuilding the city Brick by Brick however the TOA metru had one final problem the murin were still komos in the pods and so vakama sacrificed his toea power to awaken some of the matorin becoming a taga in the process the other TOA followed suit until all of the matorin were awakened the effects of the Spheres caused the newly awakened matorin to lose all their memories of metroui including those of the TOA metru and pterodax the newly transformed taga would tell them a false story concerning why they were on the island of manui in order to protect them from the makuda who would arrive there a year later to honor their time as hordika and respect the power of nature taga nuju chose to never speak Maturin again communing only in the language of the Rahi and using the efforts of a translator named matoro to communicate with the rest waiting for the prophec TOA ma to come the taga and the Torin began to live in the era known as the dark times but that's a tale for next chapter and with that we've concluded chapter 3 legends of metroui previously on Bionicle retold chapter 3 legends of metroui dystopia under the fist of makuda pterodax operating Incognito as tagad Duma the great city of metroui or the brain of the robot once a beacon of safety and light has been transed formed into a cruel surveillance State robotic emotionless vaki Patrol the streets peering into the thoughts of the populace and making dissident disappear the brave toam metru fight back against the oppressive government but are too late to stop pterodax evil plans as a shadow is cast Over the great spirit the matorin of metroui fall into a deep Slumber losing their memories as the robot plummets from orbit into the oceans of aquam Magna causing catastrophic damage in a great cataclysm in a pivotal battle between the makuda and the dark Hunters a fragile one-year peace with pterodax is earned and on the shores of their new home the island of manui the TOA metu surrender their powers to awaken the matorin transforming into taga Elders to Mentor the next generation of Heroes this is Bionicle reto [Music] chapter 4 infection prologue aftermath of the cataclysm with the TOA Met's courageous Rescue of the matorin of metr Nui pterodax was left at a Crossroads he had succeeded in this plan to plunge manui into Slumber but without a Workforce to be influenced and controlled he was left the ruler of an empty City true to his word he left the island of manui alone for one whole year during which the matan's memories of metroui faded as they established their own unique culture formed matoran guard posts and constructed Villages across the island all this time the energized protodermis continued to transform the Island's wildlife and plant life creating a vibrant Island Paradise full of danger and Beauty during this time the corrupted matoran AAU ingratiated himself with the other villagers integrating into society as a secret agent of makuda his mind filled with lies one year after pterodax his confrontation with vakama over the vahi his attacks began in full force from a shadow plague spreading across the land to infected Rahi turning vicious at assailing the murin pterodax did everything in his power to keep the murin in the dark and prevent them from rediscovering metroui this period came to be known as the Great War where Brave matorin defended their homes against the feral Rahi controlled by infected kohi masks which placed them under pterodax thrw elsewhere 100 years into this dark time the matorin villagers of voan Nui the island which housed the mask of Life built a village on the shore of the island it was named marui and it brought joy into the tough life of the Island's inhabitants but this happiness was not to last because during a great hurricane the land mass containing Marin neui sank beneath the waves in a cruel twist of fate the six baraki Warlords had built a fortress of their own directly beneath marui which was utterly destroyed during its descent just a quick refresher from chapters 1 2 and 3 so the baraki Warlords were a group of people who tried to overthrow the great spirit manui during their time as rulers of the league of six kingdoms of course this Revolt was thwarted by makuda pterodax himself and these people were sent to the pit which was the massive prison unfortunately during the Great cataclysm the robot sunk into the Seas of aquam Magna and the pit was ripped open which allowed all of its inmates to escape during this time the radiation from the energy source for the robot mixed in with the black Waters of aquam Magna changing it into a mutagenic substance which transformed the baraki from Prime beings who are the height of their power into these grotesque monsters it also however did give them the ability to breathe underwater and made them resemble sea creatures like calah here representing a squid the massive impact released air bubbles from the nearby aired fields and encased the city allowing the murin of Marin nuui to survive Beneath the Sea during the brief time that these matorin were exposed to the mutagen in the waters their bodies became bigger and stronger undoing much of carani the Mad Titans Works after this catastrophe the Marin neui Maturin soon forgot their life on the surface and began their new life underwater taming hydria Beasts for air harvesting building The marui Fortress and forming their first matorin Council the matorin began to be prayed on by the creatures led by the baraki though they never knew the nature of their enemies in the mean time the war between the dark hunters and the Brotherhood of makuda raged on with some of the brutal modified Scotti being drafted into the dark Hunter force and seizing A brotherhood Fortress quick refresher from chapter 2 The makuda Experiment on the Scotti people transforming them into brutal and violent Warriors many of these Scotty warriors were actually drafted into the dark Hunters due to their fighting prowess one of these Scotti named zachan found an encrypted record of pterodax his plan zachan then learned the intricate details of this evil plot and vowed to make use of that information on yet another island in the universe the comorin mzika and his mentor worked as Scholars on the trenro peninsula studying many fundamental questions about their universe and the nature of the matorin species among their discoveries was the location and nature of the makuda species uncovering their secret anti- dermis forms another quick recap from chapter 2 the makuda species evolved into a gaseous State all of the makuda that you see are actually robotic exoskeletons controlled by the makuda spirit inside which is called anti- dermis for all intents and purposes they are just like ghosts they need to possess these mechanical skeletons to even move around and create actions however if they are outside of this armor for too long the makuda will die so they essentially need a robotic skeleton so they can contain their anti- dermis Essence inside the bones on this peninsula a treacherous tomur named voltr sought to obtain Mesa and his mentor's research murdering the mentor to gain the secrets of the makuda for himself in his grief Mesa vowed revenge on voltr sparking a vicious rivalry between the two matori in a Grizzly battle over a canyon of razor sharp crystals Mesa impaled voltr on a spike leaving him for dead knowing that volas had devious intense and possessed knowledge of the makuda pterodax sent one of his underlings makuda gorast to revive voltr and induct him as an honorary member of their ranks likewise Mesa was inducted into the order of manui who was given a job protecting the Maturin from deviant like voltr during their conflicts Mesa saved a dorin of Sonics named krua who had also come to join the order in time if you may recall from chapter 3 TOA vakama in metr Nui received a vision of the future from a being known as TOA krua TOA of Sonics who warned him of many threats to come and told him of a future TOA team of course the murin in the story named krua would become a TOA later on in the storyline but of course it's just being seated in right now so in chronological order you just keep remembering who krua is and how his path towards the order of manui is going to take shape part one a new Homeland welcome to the island of manui a paradise home reclaimed amidst the darkness manui was home to diverse Elemental climates thanks to the transformative effects of leaking energized protodermis from the robot's power source the region of fire taahi was home to a charred Forest of burnt trees in the center of a volcano the great castle of t Coro was erected the heart of manui on the highest slopes of this volcanic mountain range was the region of Kaki an icy Wilderness with a spectacular City HED into the side of the mountain this was the kokoro village with knowledge sanctums and passageways through the ice carved throughout the mountains moving downwards to the dense jungle at the base of the mountains was the region of Le wahi featuring the treetop Village of lakeo home to the matorin of air who tamed Mighty gcko birds as flying steev connecting Lake Coro to the center of the mountain was a great tunnel to onu wahi where an underground mining Village called onoro stood firm as The Refuge of the murin of Earth as the tunnels reached the surface of the island they branched off to POI a vast desert where the sculpture artists and Craftsmen of poo the village of Stone called home and finally stretching out from a great waterfall on the Bay of manui was Goro city of water erected on massive Lily pants the island home was named manui after the great spirit worshiped by the murin led by the former toet who now served as taga the Villages of manui lived in peace and Harmony United in their defense against the makuda Rahi forces a tribalistic culture evolved on this remote island with ancient Tales of Maui's battle with makuda being told with rocks and stone above them in the sky soared the mysterious and everpresent red star the booster pack satellite the Muran universe that was merely a mysterious celestial object to the murin most interesting of all however was that the island of manui held a secret the base terrain was generated by the automatic camouflage system of the robot's face plate accidentally triggered during the Great cataclysm in the center of manui was a grand Temple named kenui which unbeknown to the matorin was created and installed by the great beings during their construction of the great spirit's planetory exploration system upon landing on a foreign Planet the Keen II Contraption would deploy from the face of the robot using its spires as antenna likee sensors for manui informing him of surface events while he was observing a planet deep within the kin Nui was also a safe tunnel for members of the Maturin Universe to enter or exit the surface of the robot should passageways be needed to go back and forth it was here that the Muran carved out a life for themselves amidst the dark and where our main Story begins I just want to start off this chapter with a quick recap of chapter 2 in a preemptive strike against the Brotherhood of makuda the order of Mai secretly stashed away several AV matorin or matorin of light in the hopes that the Brotherhood of makuda would not realize where they went because they posed significant threats to the makuda who are beings of Shadow and since they're Muran of light they could transform later on into TOA of Light which would make them big threats against the Brotherhood during this time period known as the time slip the order of manui took several amator and Scattered them across the great spirit robot and murin universe altering the color of their armor although sometimes not always perfectly as well as completely wiping their memories of ever being aorin or their previous lives one of these aorin was named tuua right now he believes he is a tomorin despite his blue mask which again was because he was an aorin so they didn't really alter the colors correctly kind of stands out on a tomorin or matorin of fire to have any blue components takua genuinely believes he is a tomorin he's also the closest thing to a main character Bionicle has had throughout several different years so definitely remember his name he's secretly an A matorin or matorin of light but he doesn't know that at this point over the many years of his life in Toro tuua was dissatisfied with his work unlike his close friend jaller who was renowned for his fighting prowess and named captain of the Toro guard takua was always more interested in Exploration and Adventure rather than fighting or staying in one place seeing a steep decline in his work tuua was banished by taga vakama who did this almost as a favor to takua who knew he would have a much more fulfilling life wandering around the island as a traveler over his Many Adventures takua met with each taga of each Village rescuing them from various traps set by pterodax and gaining their trust over the course of these Many Adventures tuua activated an ancient mechanism within the Ki Temple where a massive burst of energy shot forth from the temple and blasted him backwards giving him a significant amount of head trauma and causing him to yet again lose all his memories little did he or even the taga know but he had inadvertently reactivated the TOA mat fail safe summoning the six TOA canisters that held the TOA mat which had been aimlessly floating in the oceans of aquam magnet the legendary TOA would soon arrive heralding the end of the dark time just in case anyone is confused at the end of chapter 1 I described the to TOA mat an elite team of TOA whose sole mission was to protect the great spirit and prevent him from any takeovers kind of like what's happening right now they' had been trained directly by the order of manui specifically hydraxon in order to defend manui from any attacks and were sealed within special TOA canisters to launch from the heart of the robot in order to be immediately transported to any area that needed repairs however unfortunately these TOA canisters malfunctioned during auda's takeover during the Great cataclysm and as such the toe canisters were launched all the way up into the air and crashed down into the ocean of aquam Magna where they would lay floating in dormant status for thousands of years part two quest for the masks the Thousand Years floating aimlessly in the ocean had taken a toll upon the toam ma there organic tissue had decayed over the years leaving them in a state of disassembly this long hibernation had also left them with amnesia forcing to rely on external information while their memories slowly coalesced and so when toa's actions in the Ki summoned the canisters to the island the six TOA washed ashore on a golden Beach unaware of where or even who they were they were the TOA mat separate and not yet whole tahu TOA of fire and leader of the group awoke powerless on the beach until he dawned his kogi how mask of shielding just then a rush of energy came over him and his elemental powers awoke sensing the Heat and warmth of Toro he rushed into the charred Forest mistaking him as a threat jaller and the captain of the Guard attempted to trap tahu but before any major conflicts traga vakama stepped in bowing to tahu and encouraging jaller and the guard to do the same meanwhile gal TOA of water emerged in the bay near gawahi immediately attacked upon her Awakening by a monstrous reptilian tarakava under the sway of pterodax golly discovered that she wore the mask of water breathing aka the kohi cowcow and controlled the element of water itself fending off her attacker and swimming to gakora Lewa TOA of air headed straight for the treetop Jungle of leaki feeling at home swinging from the branches as he discovered his Mass power of levitation the kohi miru and command over the element of air kopaka cold and calculating toea of ice cautiously explored his surroundings using the kenoia Kaku the mask of x-ray vision to scope out a comor and matoro who had been spying on him from afar brought to taga nuju kopaka was the first who began to understand their strange new situation meanwhile pohatu toe of stone had been discovered by a group of pooran and thanks to his friendly nature had already introduced himself to the Village of poo who hailed him as a hero and onua wise TOA of Earth stumbled Upon A Maturin named oepu in the caves of onui who brought him straight to toron wua to be told of his purpose eventually all six toam mat met with the respective taga of each region who quickly realized these toam ma were out of practice had forgotten their training and needed to go forth on a quest to regain full control of their powers much like the TOA themselves faced many trials and tribulations to learn to work as a team and so the taga sent the toam ma on a quest to discover five more mass that he had scattered across the island of manui for each TOA with the special power to wear multiple can no mass at once and taking advantage of all their powers these toata were especially equipped to seek out these mass and gain all six Mass Powers throughout the whole team collecting all these masks had an added bonus the toam mat had the ability to unlock special golden kohi masks which had been forged Long Ago by araka himself to Grant the toata the powers of all six great kohi at once specifically these were the kohi how mask of shielding the kohi cowcow mask of water breathing the kohi miru mask of levitation the kohi akaku mask of x-ray vision the kohi kakama mask of speed and the kohi pakari mask of strength each of the six toata began their quest with one of these six mass for each of them and they each had to collect all six for themselves to unlock their golden kenoi setting off on his quest pohatu toe of stone sped through the icy landscape of Kaki on the hunt for his next Mass in his hurry he barreled into the irritable TOA kopaka at super speed who saved them both from an avalanche with kopaka reluctantly agreeing to let the friendly Batu travel with him who insisted they'd be more efficient as a team this began the start of one of the most enduring friendships in the story of Bionicle on the Cliffs of Mount ihu pohatu and kopaka stumbled upon the rest of the toada who had finally gathered together as one to get to know one another and discuss their Quest despite tahu and onua arguing to stay together the TOA split apart just then a large earthquake rocked the earth and the ground split with rain and hail falling around them the TOA realized this was the work of makuda pterodax and immediately began a search for their masks meanwhile tuua awoke on the shore of taahi disoriented and Confused observing the events from afar a panicked gamor named maku summoned him asking if he had seen toag Gali the village of gakora was under attack by the vicious tarakava Raj as pterodax had seized the opportunity to Assault The Village and test the strength of the TOA one by one tuua arrived in Goro by boat to find a capsized house which he worked hard to bring back to the surface and rescue taga noama and the rest of the GMA torrin as the terrified maturan fled tuua watched as the powerful toag Gali emerged from the ocean trading blows with the tarakava and pushing it back in a great struggle and so over the course of many months these TOA embarked on their Great quest for the MCH masks sometimes working together sometimes alone during this time tuua continued to wander around the island of manui his memory slowly returning as he learned more and more about each Village in the Stony Village of poo takua encountered the entire populace in the grip of a plague which he discovered had been spread by infected Ki balls rocks using a popular sport native to that region rescued by TOA pohatu from the grips of some vicious Rahi scorpions Tua realized the source of the disease was amau the devious p Torin who had conspired with pterodax to infect the population of poor his treachery revealed amau pleaded innocence and fled the city for a time after Further Adventures and many friends made takua found himself in the treetop Village of Loro which was under Amish by the insectoid Nui Rahi controlled by pterodax attest the fortitude of TOA liwa in a stunning attack Lea was defeated by the swarm of insects with his kohi mask replaced with an infected miru placing him under pter thr in the ensuing battle the lay matoran riding ducko birds were brought down and captured by the neama and so in a climactic battle onua TOA of Earth bursts through the walls of the nest battling Lea one-on-one and finally managing to free the TOA of air from his mind control as this was happening the other four toam mat continued their quest for the masks also discovering and collecting the hidden makoki stones in the process to gain knowledge about their enemy the Brotherhood of makuda the first Sparks of conflict began to fly between the TOA with tahu lighting an entire tree on fire to retrieve one single kohi mask much to the dismay and anger of go who had seen him destroy the habitat of several nesting birds at the same time takua continued to meet new Maturin like matoro translator to taga nuju and Keeper of the taga secrets and nuparu chief engineer of onuk Koro of course he continued to stay in close communication and contact with his friend jaller captain of the Toro guard along his Journeys tuua encountered the mighty TOA as they fulfilled their own quests witnessing epic battles and even assisting some of them in uncovering Mysteries and claiming their own masks so just a quick note here the story content that's being covered right now was featured in a game called the Modi online game this was many fans very first introduction to Bionicle all the way back in 2001 and is considered to be one of the best examples of bionical Storytelling it was essentially a Choose Your Own Adventure game where you played as tuua as he explored throughout Maui going to the different Villages and meeting different characters and essentially witnessing the story of the TOA from a secondhand view it was a really really great game that unfortunately I've kind of had to gloss over really quickly in this analysis especially because there's so much content to get through so definitely if this interests you if the world seems interesting you can actually play the manui online game on a website called biom media project which I've linked below Below in the description so feel free to download it and check it out it's one of the best pieces of bionical content ever and I feel really bad for summarizing it in a few sentences part three the void finally after months questing for The Masks the TOA mat successfully collected their six masks of power as they headed for the Great temple of kenui in the center of the island to claim their powerful golden kenoi makuda pterodax rallied his forces for a Counterattack set in his infected Rahi in swarms to assault the temple but the Maturin were ready and years of defending their Villages had sharpened their combat skills in his many Journeys takua had assembled a group of Maturin from each Village to fight alongside him known as the chroniclers company they held back the Rahi long enough for the TOA to claim their golden masks and descend into the makuda lair beneath kin Nui in the passageway from the face of the robot to the deserted sphere of metr Nui as the TOA descended Into Darkness the chroniclers compan aided by Jers captain of the guard and onuk coro's Usry forces fought on upon entering the gate to mangaya the TOA were attacked by two monus crabs powerful infected Rocky that served as personal guardians of pterodax Lair deep within mangaya just then the TOA recalled ancient Visions they had seen along their Journeys urging them to remember who they were and merge together into the powerful toaa tahu pohatu and onua combined their energies to transform into to the Towering toaa akami Avatar of Valor while Lewa Gali and kopaka merged to form the Titan toaa wua Avatar of wisdom now look I know what you're probably thinking what on Earth are these and why did they just come out of nowhere well unfortunately the thing is since I'm having to summarize this story relatively quickly a lot of these story seeds that hinted at this being possible or just kind of glossed over so let me just give you the quick and dirty version verion of it essentially every inhabitant of the murin universe has the power to form a Ka which is the bionical form for a combination or some sort of Greater being so these TOA kaida are actually three TOA coming together tahu onua and pohatu forming this one and Lewa kopaka and G forming the other one this ability was programmed in By the Great beings to allow certain members of the universe to form together essentially combining their Collective Force to solve any problem which required Safe physical strength or extreme unity and yes you may have guessed this already but these are essentially the set combiner models which honestly I think is something that's pretty cool because in Universe you're literally combining three of the sets just as you are in the set form themselves to make these larger Titan characters fully powered up in their kaida forms the TOA struck back against the monus crabs utterly defeating them and clearing the path to the layer of their Ultimate Enemy makuda pterodax just then a wave of Destruction swept across the toaa separating them back into their original forms before they got a chance to confront pterodax himself six shadowy figures emerg from the walls mirror reflections of the TOA ma themselves despite fighting valiantly the TOA realize that these shadow Reflections were perfectly matched themselves and the true test was to accept the darkness hatred and evil was as much a part of them as any sensient being by acknowledging their Shadow counterparts were a part of them the TOA were able to absorb them into themselves ending the threat and proceeding to confront pterodax in the meantime with the combined efforts of takua chroniclers company the Toro guard and the onuk Coro assari the Rahi were beaten back and there was finally a period of Peace outside the temple in this Lull in the conflict taga wua was escorted to the surface giving TOA a tip about a secret passageway into mangaya from onoro so he could watch the TOA battle pterodax and tell the tale of their exploits and so as takua descended into the duns the TOA mat entered the final chamber ready to face pterodax in the center of the room a swirling Vortex of robotic components and objects faced the TOA a matorin pitted and rusted with an infected Mask walked out to them blank eyes staring from empty sockets this was makuda pterodax who had taken the guise of a matoran to taunt the TOA hinting at the true nature of his power as The makuda Faded back into the Vortex dark tentacles lashed out at the TOA who were beaten back no matter what they tried slowly the makuda ceased his attack and gazed down at his defeated opponents in a final rally the TOA mustered together their elemental powers and sent a wave of energy at the vortex but before they could truly defeat makuda he faded away his voice echoing through the room that they could never defeat the void all this conflict and buildup was merely a test by pterodax to see how skilled the toada truly were Satisfied by his test makuda retreated deeper within magaya readying his next plans but so as the TOA were transported back up to the surface of manui takua was left behind surrounded by the discarded parts and damaged rubble from the battle instead of taking the path back to the surface he noticed a separate passageway a secret tunnel to a massive Subterranean network of hives and ponds in fear tuua watched as creatures within the pods began to stir slowly Awakening the horrors Within barely managing to escape through an automated portal system tuua was ejected onto the beach of manui still reeling from the battle he had witnessed and unaware of the threat to come little did he know but the discovery of this Hive signaled makuda pterodax his next attack and peace would be shortlived part four Terror of the Swarm weary after their recent fight with terx and uncertain of his next plans the TOA mat emerged onto the surface of the kinin nuui Temple before a moment's chance to breathe a matorin burst from the shy terrified and traumatized from a mysterious attack he would only utter one word from his mouth over and over again Bor Rock recap from chapters 1 and two as you probably know by now everything that's happening within the maturan universe is occurring in the body of the great spirit robot which is a colossal robot the size of a planet that can actually lay down on the surface of a planet underwater and have a cloaking can camouflage system on its face essentially every time this manui robot wants to survey a world it just lays flat and lets its face stick out above the water the cloaking is actually pretty cool essentially the metal face plate of the robot is covered by an artificial layer of foliage and sand which allows it to stay hidden during its procedures however the main thing is that once it is time to take off as I mentioned in the previous chapters there is a fullon cleansing mechanism to wipe all of this full foliage and sand off of its face to do that the manui robot employs these small robots called Boro whose task is literally just to cleanse the surface of the face of the robot which of course now is the island manui The Boro also have a secret as I mentioned in Chapter 2 all aorin who achieve their Destiny like our friend tuua here transform into Boro so essentially at any point an amorin could be transformed into a Boro should they be needed to be called upon by swarm this also wipes all of their memories and personality leaving behind only a robot which is a husk of its former selves it's a pretty effective way of using the matorin universe's own inhabitants to be the cleansing mechanism just in case any Boro get damaged while wearing the surface of the face so that way you can just take some amorin and replace them deep within the kakum of manui makuda pterodax uncovered an ancient mechanism to prematurely awaken the Boro triggering their cleansing protocol to wipe the face of manui clean remember back in Chapter 2 when makuda mutron bridged his mind with the horrible entity Trend crom and discovered the secrets of the Maturin Universe well if you don't that's why I'm here when he relayed this information to makuda pterodax not only did it lead to pterodax is Revolt and eventual takeover of the great spirit robot but it also led to one crucial piece of information pterodax discovered exactly how to prematurely activate the Boro cleansing system which is why he knew how to do all this in the first place and so all over the island thousands of Boro with unique Elemental abilities awoke with a singular Mission tanok with fire abilities burnt large swats of forests with summoning flood tides and porac shattering Stone foundations levoc used acid attacks to channel dangerous streams of poison while Koro manipulated the element of ice to weaken even the hardest of substances finally the dangerous nvok tunnel deep within the ground hollowing out sinkholes and swallowing entire Villages whole while The Boro were all simply mechanical shells the real danger were the crana the brains of The Boro created by the great beings by exposing murin remains to energize protodermis the Chon controlled the hive mind of The Boro and had the unique ability to control any inhabitant of the Muran Universe when placed on their face through a unique technical interface designed by the great beings krana could override the base programming of any matorin or even TOA to use their powers to accomplish the cleansing task and finally deep within the robot itself lurked the barag Queens controllers of The Boro and directors of the hive mind as an extreme security measure the nest of the barro was sealed shut with the only way to bypass the seal and override the hive M being a complex mechanism requiring 48 different crana from each of the six Boro types as you might be able to guess these CR were the main Collectibles for the year of 2002 and boy were there a lot of them you see each of these six types of Boro had eight different Chana and each of those eight had two different forms based on whether they were active or dormant so really that's a lot of Chana in total the other thing that I want to make very clear here is that the members of the matorin universe at this point do not know that they're living inside a giant robot so while they kind of have an understanding that crana are used to control the Boro based on some sort of hive mind they don't really understand where The Boro came from why their mission even is to cleanse the surface of the island or that they were once aorin really all they know is that the Boro are trying to destroy their homes which is pretty unfortunate because it is supposed to be something positive for the great spirit MWI to cleanse its face but pterodax triggered it early which is causing all this problem meanwhile as the TOA ma rushed to Toro to save the village they found it overrun by Boro released by makuda pterodax immediately after their confrontation in mangaya the TOA were surprised to see that unlike the Rahi or makuta's other pawns The Boro made no moves to attack or harm them at all they would simply defend themselves if attacked nevertheless the TOA sprung to action G and Lea combining the power of water and air to create an immense Cyclone that swept through the first wave of Boro leaving only the crana behind taga vakama then emerged from the shadows and shared his knowledge of the borak with the TOA explaining that they needed to seek out 48 different crana to unlock the high and shut down the invasion and so the TOA set off on a two-prong quest to delay the destruction of manui while disabling and collecting each crana to put an end to the Boro threat part five the borac wars over the course of several months the matorin and TOA staged a brave fight against the Relentless Boro hordes an onu matorin engineer named nuparu created a genius invention in a bind Scavenging destroyed Boro Parts he created the boxor and burst through the through the tunnels of onui devastating Boro as he went throughout this struggle poor was invaded and its entire population evacuated to guro in a major upheaval all along the way tuua followed the TOA on their Quest chronicling their actions and heroic deeds in the treetop Village of Loro disaster struck in a surprise attack and conversion from the borak nearly the entire population including taga matau was assimilated by the Borox crana becoming slaves to the hive mind despite his lone attempts to free his village toala also succumbed to the crana then confronting onua deep within the Jungle the wise onua laid his weapons down telling Lea that his will was stronger than the crana and he should prove himself worthy of being a TOA tearing off the K from his face with all the willpower he could summon Lea overcame this obstacle and together with onua nuparu boxor vehicles and even the help of takua and captain of the Guard Jer freed the village of Loro finally with All 48 chronic collected the TOA agreed to descend into the Boro nest and end a threat of The Boro once and for all and so as they journeyed into the depths of the nest The Boro ready to wipe Goro off the face of the map taking the evacuated population of the pooran with it the Brave jaller and tuua led the Muran Counterattack defending Goro from the ever increasing threat despite the efforts of the murin and nuparu Brock or inventions the threat was Dire and with the TOA deep underground the matur were fighting a losing battle meanwhile as he traveled deep into the tunnels tahu grew wary of Lewa suspicious that he was still influenced by the power of the crana although onua had faith in his fellow toa's willpower but so after facing many trials to strive towards the center of the nest Lea proved his Allegiance time and time again and the TOA finally made it to the center of the hive placing their 48 crana on the slots in the floor they unlocked the inner Nest opening six passageways into the dark Within these tunnels the TOA ma discovered Mighty exot TOA suits of armor remnants of the great beings as a fail safe Against The Boro these exot TOA may actually seem pretty familiar it's because that throughout the Brotherhood of makuta's actions in chapters 1 to three they actually use these exot TOA to replicate the strength of a TOA and fight in their armies essentially the exot TOA can either be worn as a suit by current TOA to power up their abilities or they can operate on their own as robotic shell and can even be controlled by makuda pressing on the TOA mat now wearing full EXO TOA armor finally encountered the barro queens of the Borox swarms and controllers of the hive mind in a vicious fight against the bog the TOA nearly faced defeat with their strongest members trapped fighting Illusions projected by the queens and the remaining TOA barely being able to use their elements against their opponents just then tahu realized that while the exoa armor gave them Incredible strength and fighting abilities it also consumed and hindered their elemental power which was the key to the bag's defeat and so in a climactic blast the TOA sealed the bog in a cage of protodermis disabling their connection to the Swarm without the queen hive mind Boro all over manui were rendered aimless and the attack on Goro ceased at that moment all around the island six TOA suas shrines to the TOA and mysterious technological bastions Shone with light and mysterious symbols appeared at top each of the subba taga noama odd told the Maturin that the TOA had succeeded and the threat of the Swarm was over back in the nest of The Boro the TOA felt a rumbling beneath their feet as the floor gave way the toata were thrust into tubes of bubbling energized protodermis you might recall this from the prologue but energized protodermis was the mysterious substance that had the incredible power to create transform or even destroy this was the substance that sparked the Corr and arguably the entire bionical story itself because it was the major resource being fought over in spherus Magna submerged within the mysterious energized protodermis the TOA mat were physically transformed evolving into beings far more powerful than any TOA in existence armed with powerful new mosques weapons and solid protodermis armor they became the toaa rising from the ground in their striking new forms as Boulders of Earth rain down upon them tahuna activated the power of His Howa the m of shielding and was surprised to discover that he had shielded not only himself but his entire team as the TOA slowly came to the realization that their new forms allowed him to share Mass Powers amongst each other Lewa activated the mask of levitation the miru NOA while bhatu used the mask of speed the kakua to propel this newly transformed TOA team from the depths of the hive back out to the surface in Goro with the fight over the Maturin busied themselves with repairing the land CR were harvested and place in a massive pit where they cannot infect any more Minds with the Mindless Boro now acting as mere robots matorin were able to use their powerful forms to reconstruct what they had destroyed the Boro acting as a force for creation rather than destruction in the aftermath of the battle takua and jaller enjoyed a brief moment of respit celebrating with the gorin and pomor specifically hooki who was leading the pomor guard as well as Holly one of their gorin companions looking out to the ocean tuua was thankful for the end of the borak wars but was unaware of the danger lying ahead and how this was only the first stage in pterodax his plans to overthrow the great spirit and seize the maturan populace for himself previously on Bionicle retold chapter 4 infection Danger on maranui after the great cataclysm wiped the minds of the matorin of metroui taga and matorin seek refuge on the Paradise Island manui on the face of the robot summoned by an ancient mechanism the TOA mat arrive on the shores of the island their memories fragmented from centuries a drift at Sea the brave toam mat battled the darkness of evil makuda pterodax and the terrible menaces he Unleashed that threatened the TOA and the world in the depths below the island the TOA faced their greatest threat the borck Swarms an ancient Safeguard to clean the surface of the robot prematurely activated by pterodax at the climax of this conflict that TOA were thrust into the mysterious energized protodermis emerging as fully evolved Prime toaa these toaa would need all their power all their skill and all their wisdom to combat even more dangerous threats on the horizon this is bionical retold part one The Boro call strike across the island of manui celebrations ring out with the threat of the borac behind them and the toan NOA more powerful than ever matorin in every village began the slow process of rebuilding and retaking the land from the wreckage as toat tahu returned to Toro taga vakama took him aside and secretly gave him the kohi vaji the powerful mask of time to be used in emergencies only in this time of peace and rebuilding six mysterious objects appeared at top the toas suas symbols of the elemental power each toaa held so to give some context for this the toaa are not like nor TOA they're oneof a kind and their Elemental abilities are so powerful that they don't actually work the normal way instead of just being innate to the toaa themselves these Elemental energies are fed to the toaa from these special Nova symbols if these symbols are in Friendly territory then their elemental powers remain and they're much stronger than any normal toas but there's a catch because if these Elemental symbols were to ever be removed from friendly territory and stolen by enemy Powers then the elemental powers would vanish leaving the toaa powerless araka actually created these in anticipation for the TOA ma to be upgraded one day which is why they even exist in the first place it's kind of a catch 22 they give the toan NOA awesome powers but at a cost as the toan NOA trained and honed their new found increased Elemental abilities they were unaware of a growing threat with the barog queens of the Boro sealed in stasis deep underground a fail safe was automatically activated in the form of the the borak call six elite borac with unique Elemental abilities and personalities of their own whose sole mission was to free the barok as they awoke from their Chambers and emerged onto the island they encountered the nuva symbols whose innate Elemental abilities were the key to unlocking the barag seal and so as the borak call split up to steal the symbols from the murin the toan Nua began to lose their powers one by one over the island confused and Afraid soon these now powerless toan NOA would have to face the combined might of the borak call with only their own strength and skill and these elite borak were a formidable Force tanal wielded the element of electricity striking at the T Coral guard and Captain Jala to access tahoo symbol galaal was the borak call of magnetism soundly defeating Batu in a humiliating attack that left several nearby Rahi magnetites to his armor Lok call was the master of the vacuum sucking the air out of his surroundings to render to onua helpless and steal his symbol parak wielded plasma melting his way through to batu's symbol nuva call controlled gravity hurling massive objects with his unique abilities and finally strongest of them all was korak call who was gifted with the elemental power of Sonics to deafen his opponents project Sonic force fields and even generate concussive blasts of pure Sonic energy just a behind the scenes explanation for why these exist so when The Boro first came out in 2002 they were one of the Lego group's most popular toys and outsold many expectations and so to attempt to recapture the popularity of the original 2002 Boro the LEGO Group just basically did the same thing but in silver essentially for all intents and purposes they were literally identical models and as you can probably guess the borac call didn't quite sell as well as the original Boro because most fans were wanting something new that something new would come later but for now that's why the Boro call even exists in the story and so with their poers stolen the six toaa set off on a quest to regrain their Elemental NVA symbols and stopped The Boro call from Reawakening the Barak and the Swarms along their Journeys the toan NOA collected new sets of kohi NOA hoping to supplement their abilities with the elemental powers now drained throughout these Journeys goly discovered a carving of the TOA metru the first evidence of them that they were not the first TOA on the island but that mystery was a story for far later and soon the confrontation with the borac call was nigh and as a six powerless toan NOA descended into the borak nest yet again they were met with a ferocious battle raging Before Their Eyes the exot TOA armor suits had been automatically activated wielding all their power against the forces of the borak as the mechanized guard succumbed to the power of the borak tahoo summoned the kohi vahi slowing time around them for just long enough for golly to formulate a cunning plan using all for willpower and joining forces with the other toaa golly and the others connected to their NVA symbols mentally flooding their elemental power into the symbols and into the borak call not built to handle the full might of the toan NOA each borak call succumbed to their own abilities gone Haywire tanak call was trapped in a never-ending field of electricity while lakal hurdled miles into the air from a blast of air magnetic fields hurled half-destroyed exoto a parts through the air crushing galaal nvok calls him immense gravitational abilities crumbled his body inwards creating a miniature black hole paral melted far below the ground in molten plasma and devastating sound waves ripped kakal apart exhausted the tanova collapsed to the ground their mission complete and NVA symbols reobtained with the threat of the borak call finally over and the Swarms behind them the TOA emerged back into the surface of manui weary from their trials part two a Time of Peace following the defeat of the borak call and the Triumph of the toan NOA celebrations yet again rang out across the island of manui in a great ceremony the taga honored ke murin who are vital in the defense of their Villages over the course of the Rahi and borak attacks this naming ceremony continued a long-standing matoran tradition where certain matoran names were elongated and modified to signify great achievements which was a unique cultural aspect of the murin alongside these new names the murin were also rebuilt into new and more powerful forms to signify their accomplishments so here's why this actually exists back in 2001 when Bionicle first launched Lego designers Drew from the mayori culture in New Zealand essentially taking words from their dictionary and translating them directly into bionical terminology unfortunately not all of these translations were 100% accurate and many of them were offensive to the mayori culture one cultural appropriation lawsuit later and we have naming day and in Universe event to slightly change the names of certain characters just enough so they remain recognizable but enough so that they do not fall under exact mayori words for instance Jala spelled j a l a becomes Jer spelled j a l l r and so on and so forth they also used this as a justification to upgrade the murin builds originally the murin or the tohunga as they were first called were released as Happy Meal toys so they were pretty small and admittedly pretty but didn't have too much articulation well in 2003 2 years later Lego actually made fullon Maturin sets and so they actually managed to include a full-on upgrade in the story itself to justify this set change as well I guess it kind of makes sense in universe and they did the best with what they could to change the names although it is admittedly a little clunky during the ceremony matorin honored included jaller Brave captain of the guard and defender of Toro His companion the chronicler tuua and hooki po Mur and Ki Sports Champion among many others as the toan NOA continued to train and hone their skills as a unit the matorin continued work on their daily tasks preparing for a grand Ki tournament to celebrate the toan NOA a unique sport developed on the island of manui Ki started off as a simple game with weighted rocks and balls and over the years was altered and improved to include specialized staffs and tools to compete in the game every cororo across Maui competed in K and for the upcoming Grand tournament competitions were held as semi-finals across the island until a massive three-way game would be held with the top three tribes one of these competitors was a gatur named Holly who had participated in the defense of her Village Against The Boro and honed her newly developed athletic skills to become a champion of kohy having spent a considerable amount of time with jaller fighting against The Boro Holly knew exactly who she'd be up against in the kohley tournament and spent the following months honing her body mind and willpower training in test of stamina speed strength Purity and more across the many villages over the course of these Adventures Holly competed in the regional tournaments with her partner maku eventually earning Goro a place in the upcoming Grand tournament during these Journeys she met fellow Maturin like kongu Airman of the gako bird Force nuparu the engineer who built the fame boxor vehicles and matoro translator to taga nuu as a recap from chapter 4 many of these matorin played a pretty significant role in Tea's Adventures across the island of manui where he met different villagers and got to know the different cultures across the island and keep these names in mind because some of these matorin would become much much more relevant in the future chapters of this story as the matorin busyed themselves in preparation for the tournament the taga delve deep into discussion about when would be the right time to reveal their Origins and potentially start a mass migration back to metr Nui to rehabilitate the great city of Legends on the eve of the tournament a decision was made after the the game was over the tanova would be summoned and told the great tale of metroui learning of the true origins of the matorin and the tera's past lives as the heroic TOA metru but of course if you've been following this series you've already heard the tales of the TOA metru in chapter 3 legends of metroui part three quest for the seventh TOA hours before the Ki Championship jaller wandered through the now empty city of Toro searching for his partner tuua with the entire population of the city housed in the massive Ki arena in preparation for the game Jer had free access to the deepest caverns and normally restricted tunnels of lava in these lava Chambers beneath Toro jaller found tuua examining a strange totem across a boiling River of lava distracted by his Newfound Discovery takua failed to realize he was late for the tournament and that the lava levels were steadily rising in a volcanic blast the totem was knocked from his hands melting away and revealing the mysterious ious kohi Aoki the mask of light so here's a brief history of the very powerful artifact the kohi Aoki or the mask of light years ago the being known as araka created the mask of light on his Island as a safeguard in case the Brotherhood of makuda who used Shadow as her primary weapon ever turned evil which of course they did so he definitely was in the right to created it it remained on ARA's Island for thousands of years until of course the Brotherhood of makuda turned evil and one of their agents makuda kojel stole it during a raid on araka and brought it back to The makuda Fortress in destral there it sat for hundreds of years until the toah haa as we mentioned in the previous two chapters raided the Brotherhood of makuda Fortress to retrieve the avoki and were unfortunately mutated into rahaga in the process the kohi Aoki remained in the possession of these rahaga until the events of 2005 or chapter 4 where the TOA metru transformed into toah hardika and had to unite the K stones to claim the kohi Aoki from the rahaga and bring it back with them and if you're not confused already the toah hardika transformed back into TOA metru went to the island of manui and placed the kenoh Aoki in safekeeping in Toro until it was discovered by tuua just now so essentially all you need to know is that it's an ancient artifact that taga stored it in Toro and tuua just now found it you really don't need to know the other Back stories if you don't really care although it's pretty interesting to know the history behind this artifact the other thing that you may or may not have forgotten about tuua and it's really important is that he is not actually a tomorin or a matorin of fire in fact he's an aorin or murin of light in Disguise and was displaced from his original home when the order of modui secretly hid a matorin all across the matorin universe in preparation in case the Brotherhood of makuda intended to turn against all of the murin of light takua himself doesn't even know he's an A matorin and for all intense purposes he just believes himself to be a tomorin but just remember he's actually a matorin of light it also explains why despite being aorin there's a lot of blue coloring on tuua of course aorin can alter the color of their armor in whatever color they wish and the process that tuua used probably wasn't that good so despite trying to blend in as a tomorin he has a lot of blue armor so it's a little bit confusing and that explains it in a sudden volcanic blast the chamber began to shake and collapse around them with tuua about to be engulfed in lava just then toat tahu NOA swooped in to rescue takua activating his mask of shielding to defend the murin from the oncoming lava catching a glimpse at the mask of light tahu gave the two matorin strict instructions to present the mask to taga vama after the tournament was over of course and so as Jala and takua rushed to the stadium the grand Ki finals tournament began in a series of intense matches hully swept the competition crowning Goro as he champion of the tournament and leaving Pororo and Toro in the dust as the players gathered in the center of the field takua inadvertently revealed the mask of Light which activated at his touch due to a secret amatur nature but tuua was irresponsible and shered from his duties instead shining the light on His companion jaler tricking the taga and the crowd into naming jaler as the herald of the seventh TOA bearer of the mask of light after gathering for a brief meeting to discuss the future of the mask the taga sent jaller and takua on a quest to find or summon the seventh TOA a new TOA of light Who would wear the kenoh of Voki and provide a massive advantage over makuda pterodax after these events the TOA and murin dispersed their own homes and roles Holly wished her companions luck on their journey and embarked in a quest of her own to visit temples across the island and uncover her own destiny and during all this in the darkness of muda's Lair beneath the island pterodax grew anxious seeking to stop the coming of of the seventh TOA whose powers of light would pose a significant threat to his shadows and so he was forced to unleash grotesque rellian creatures known as raki from the Shadows born from his own shadow and flesh to execute his will as the sons of makuda as toag Gala meditated at the Great temple of kinu the ground beneath her split three rocki soaring outwards towards Toro with the Urgent emergency alarm sounded the murin of takuro were ordered to evacuate the city immediately while toat tahu stood as the final defense against the onslaught in the ensuing battle tahu was injured his Mass scratched by the poison staff of the rocki unable to continue his fight tahu was forced to flee as the ROI destroyed his home Toro in their search for the mask of light as the poison slowly spread throughout his body infecting his mind tahoo swore Vengeance on makuda and the ROI watching a now destroyed Toro sink into the lava never to be rebuilt makuda pterodax was y angered as Jer and tuua had set off with the mask of light mere hours before his rocki attacked the village and they had managed to slip from his grasp meanwhile unaware of the ticking clock and Toro's destruction Jer and takua continued their quest to uncover the seven TOA unsure of where to go and what to do as they blindly followed the light of the Mask their Journeys took them across the Island from lakeo where they encountered toala and kokoro where they were rescued by the aloof TOA kopaka from another set of Unleashed rocki as the toan NOA headed to the remains of takuro to convene with tahu and Gali takua and jaller continued on entering the dark tunnels to onuk Coro for their next journey in the depths of these catacombs takua was separated from jaler and was cornered by a mental projection of makuda terax himself pterodax threatened to kill Jers should takua not bring the mask of light to him and while takua refused pterodax his demands he soon abandoned the quest feeling the responsibility to protect both the mask and his friend was far too much for him after a brief quarrel Jala resolved to find the seventh TOA himself accusing takua of abandoning his duty yet again all this time tahu and G continued to battle waves of rosi Desperately fighting them back as Lewa and kopaka rushed to their location at this time news of Toro's destruction had not yet reached onua and pohatu and the rocki's strength began to overwhelm the remaining TOA watching these Battles Through The Eyes of his raki makuda Unleashed yet more raki who wielded the powers of fear anger and hunger in their Rampage searching for the mask of light witnessing these new Roxi soar through the air Holly hurried to warn the TOA but her warning was too late ambushed by the new Roi tahu was struck with a blast of anger which mixed with a poison in system accelerating the infection as at TOA rushed to pursue the rocki deep within onuk Coro takua emerged alone in the Subterranean City admitting he had abandoned his quest and left Jer alone with the mask of light however he was finally able to warn Batu and onua of the oncoming threat and he arrived in the nick of time for just then the rocki burst through the walls of onoro seeking out the mask of light and following tent hot on their heels were the remaining tanova who emerg in a climactic confrontation with the ROI struck with a blast of Anger from the ROI tahu finally succumbed to the poison in his veins turning against his comrades in a fit of rage during this fight tuua barely escaped with his life with onua being forced to sacrifice the entire entire Village of onuk Coro in a massive cave in to buy them time to escape from The Rock and so with both Toro and onoro utterly destroyed tahoo barely contained by kopaka's ice and Jer and tuua split up and adventuring alone the fate of manui was more dire than ever part four coming of the seventh TOA After a traumatizing experience deep within onoro takua was overwhelmed with guilt and resolved to catch up with Jer and rejoin him on his quest for the seven TOA especially after witnessing the TOA NOA proved to be no match for the ROI when divided reuniting with Jer tuua apologized promising to no longer forsake his duty and continuing to Aid Jer on their Quest meanwhile hiding out in healing pools besides a river goly concentrated on summoning all her power to purge the poison from taho's body as she focused on cleansing tahu the other TOA continued the fight against the ROI with Lea nearly killed by a powerful combin of three Roi merged as one remember last chapter when the toam ma fused together into the powerful TOA kaida and proceeded to destroy the Manas in a combined form of their three beings well they're not the only ones who can form kaidas because the rocki can do it too and if one rocki was bad enough just imagine how dangerous three rocki merge into one being could be and even beyond the threat of the rocki kaida the TOA discovered that the slug likee Kat worms housed within the roi's armored shells had the power to infect the minds of matori hinting at their true nature as spawn of makuda over this time tahu was eventually healed and the six tanova were finally United as one against The Rock sheep after much traveling takua and jaler found themselves at the Temple of kin taking the mask of light from Jer takua held it in his hands desperate for it to reveal the seventh TOA unexpectedly a burst of light Sho forth from the mask destroying part of the temple to reveal a hidden carving underneath a carving of tua's own face before they had a chance to process that Revelation the six rocki arrived at kin having finally caught up with Jer and takua but they were not alone bursting from the ground the six TOA leapt into action finally United as one powerful team with the poison cleanse from taho's body combining fire air and stone tahu Lea and phatu formed a tornado of glass sweeping through the rocki's ranks onua and T who combined their powers to hurl molten lava at the remaining beats melting their armor and rendering the Kat slugs within powerless but even with the combined Unity of the toaa they were too slow and a turac Roxi of fear managed to strike tuua with a powerful blast paralyzing him with fear leaping to defend his friend Jer rushed at the Roxi with nothing but a standard knife buying TOA enough time to regain his senses but sacrificing himself in the process and taking the full brunt of the T Rock's attacks over overwhelmed with the full might of the Roxi Jer collapsed his final words convincing takua to accept his Destiny and Dawn the mask of light and so in a stunning transformation tuua knew exactly what he had to do placing the mask of light over his own a beam of light consumed his body transforming him into the first TOA of light renamed takaa to reflect the honor bestowed upon this transformation and so in silence takova picked up jer's lifeless body and left keni to grieve Alone part five duty of the seventh TOA sometime later takua spoke with taga vakama about his Destiny promising that jer's sacrifice was not in vain and resolving to descend into pterodax his lair and confront him once and for all instructing the toan NOA to wait for his return takua descended into the tunnels alone convinced it was his sole duty to finally defeat the evil of pterodax unbeknownst to him Holly snuck aboard his craft made of disassembled Roxy armor determined to Chronicle his exploits as a new chronicler of manui now that takua had been transformed takova had no choice but to let her come along warning her to hang back as he ventured into the inner sanctum of pterodax his lair as the makuta's voice echoed throughout the chamber pterodax emerged from the darkness revealing himself to takua and H resolved to defeat the makuda and reawaken manui once and for all takua ordered Holly to go back to the surface and summon all the matorin to the air to witness the defeat of pterodax and so takaa alone faced herax Who challenged him to a mock Ki match taunting him that mentally he was still just a lowly murin just the fearful tuua who he had confronted in the cave and so as the population of the island slowly descended into the tunnels the toan NOA protecting them from all sides the battle between light and Shadow commenced hurling balls of Shadow at takua pterodax proved to be a formidable opponent countering taka's blast of light with his own opposing balls of Shadow as a fight went on neither opponent losing ground takova and pterodax found they were equally matched as they stumbled into a pit of energized protodermis the mysterious mutagen that was house within the depths of the robot and after a moan of suspense takuta NOA a new merged being arose from the pool light and Shadow had become one and in a brief moment the consciousness of both takua and pterodax had been overrun with a singular drive to protect the great spirit robot and reawaken manui in his new merged form between makuda and takua takuta opened the gate to metui allowing the Denis of manui to flood the passageway back to their original home as Holly rushed through the doorway jer's mask in hand takutan NOA stopped her fueling what remained of his life force into the mask and resurrecting Jer in his murin form pause time so this action is pretty hotly contested throughout the bionical community and for good reason as you can probably guess it's kind of debatable that a being like tanova even had the power ability or knowledge to resurrect a dead member of the Maturin Universe now if you go into the official explanation it has something to do with the red star being a booster pack holding the quote unquote digital Souls of all the members of the Maturin universe and somehow he was able to revive it just for that one moment to resurrect Jer but honestly it's kind of just something you have to accept and thankfully this never actually happens again in the entire bionical story and so for a Lego theme that ran for 10 years I can honestly accept it as just one of the very few retcons that the story had to include over its 10year long run especially if you compare it to something like Ninjago which Recons itself multiple times every few years this is a pretty minor thing in comparison and everything else about the story is very very tight and locked down so I can kind of excuse just this one small little Resurrection because obviously this was around 2003 Lego was probably pretty wary about killing off a character on screen permanently in one of their first feature films so I can see why they didn't do that with his energy expended takuta NOA collapsed under the gate makuta's anti-ma Spirits separated from his armor housing and takua spirit house within the mask of light as the mask glowed with light and taka's body was reformed from this combination a light shown across the silver sea revealing the long-lost island of metroui their original Island home and as the population of manui returned to the surface the taga held a grand meeting revealing the ancient origins of their history as the TOA metu the tales of the great city of metroui and began preparations to reclaim the old Metropolis with the matorin sailing off across the silver sea to repopulate metr and restart the brain of the robot the Denis of the Muran Universe were now one step closer to Reawakening the great spirit manui once and for all and while the spirit of pterodax still survived in antier gaseous form he would need time to rebuild and regain strength and thus began a long awaited time of peace for the matorin on the shores of metroui the matorin migration from manui began old friends were reunited with tagad Duma and the rahaga emerging from the city to greet the new population new buildings were built and the great forges of T metru Shone with fire once again the city of Legends metroui was finally restored with its full population and the matorin and TOA ready themselves for a new era of light and hope previously on Bionicle retold chapter 5 light rise of the toan NOA an ancient fail safe resulted in The Reawakening of the formidable borak call who sought to free the barag Queens from their imprisonment in a pivotal battle tahu activated the legendary kohi vahi mask of time freezing the borak and allowing the tanova to gain the upper hand in a brief time of peace that followed Boran like Holly hooki and JW trained to compete in a grand Ki tournament while takua stumbled upon the secret hiding place of the powerful kenoia Voki the mask of light but with brighter Light Came darker shadows and out of the darkness came the dreaded raki Servants of the evil makuda pterodax in a quest that spanned across the island Jer and Tua sought to discover an awaken the seventh TOA only to find that takua himself was destined to transform into takua TOA of light after descending into the darkness to face pterodax himself takova claimed a major victory over the makuda shattering his armor and Paving a way back to the city of Legends metui and so as the matorin began a great migration back to their original Homeland they were unaware that pterodax had survived in the form of his anti- dermis spirit and greater Darkness was on the horizon this is Bionic retold chapter 6 the ignition Trilogy part one one doomed part one the daggers of death after 1,000 years of Darkness the murin had finally migrated back to their Island Home of metroui as the matorin worked with tagad Duma the rahaga and kangu to rebuild the once great city of Legends taga nuju observed the stars and learned a grim truth after 1,000 years in disrepair the great spirit manui was dying and their efforts to rebuild and restart metroui the brain of the robot were too little too late it was here that tagad Duma told the toaa of the ancient kohi ignika the mask of life and its power as a fail safe to restart the murin universe and save manui from Death recap time in chapter 1 Beginnings we explained that there were three legendary kohi masks the most important of which was the kohi ignika whose important role was to Kickstart the matorin univers and the great spirit's life should its life force ever dwindle the way it works is that any member of the Mator Universe can wear Thea on their face thus absorbing their life energy and sacrificing themselves to Kickstart the universe thus saving the entire world and mani's life still housed on the remote island sphere of voan nuui after all these years the mask of Life lay dormant waiting for a savior to appear and Kickstart The Rebirth of the matorin universe known as the island of Doom or the D haers of death voan Nui was tucked away in a remote corner of the universe surrounded by treacherous Waters and hostile lands the only safe way to reach the island was by TOA canisters and so the six toan NOA set off to make landfall on The Mysterious Island to claim the mask of life and save the great spirit from Death while takova stayed behind to protect metroui in their absence meanwhile as the toan NOA settled into stasis for the long journey to voan nuui trouble began to brew back on the now abandoned island of manui six dark Hunters of the Scotti race heard rumors that makuda pterodax had been killed and many Treasures lay in the Dark Lord's former layer so as a quick refresher from chapter 2 these Scotti were a race of beings that started out as very peaceful but after being experimented upon by the makuda they turned into vicious and brutal Warriors in an effort to curb this violence the makuda made it so that each Scotti had innate Elemental abilities but they could only use in conjunction with another Scotti which means that at the very least two of them had to work together to actually use their powers in chapter 4 we met a green skinned Scotty named zachan who was a member of the dark hunters and during a mission for them he inadvertently discovered traces of makuda pterodax grand plan to take over the entire universe which he vowed to use that information for himself as of right now zachan is one of the only beings who at least has an idea of what pterodax is plan is and even us as the viewers don't know the full aspect of it years ago Zack tan plotted with some of these fellow Scotti to overthrow the shadowed one and take over the dark Hunters with him in command after reaching the inner chamber of the shadowed one their betrayal was uncovered and in an attempt to execute zachan for his betrayal the shadowed one assaulted him with his disintegrating IDs to his surprise Zack Tan's body and said dissolved into billions of protoypes microscopic Rahi that now form the entirety of Zack Ken's body as these insectoid creatures never stopped moving Zack Tan's body always appeared to be writhing and each prototype contained a portion of his Consciousness and could function independently of his body as a whole the shouted one surprises the rest let them live with Zack tense mutated and deformed State serving as a reminder to never betray him again over time Zack tan learned to use his new form to his own Advantage allowing him to send parts of himself on the attack as a swarm fly unhampered through the air evade physical attacks more easily and even slip through spaces too small for an insect these six Scotti led by zachan officially broke off from the dark Hunters forming their own group called paraka an appropriate obscenity that roughly translates to murderer or gangster Thug and so after sneaking away from the dark Hunter fortress on Adena under the cover of night these paracas schemed to loot pterodax as former Lair get rich with powerful artifacts and cash out besides their cunning leader Zack tan this gang of villainous thugs comprised of th a clever and manipulative loner who exploited conflict between the team and used it for his own benefit avak a talented engineer with a powerful psychic ability to project the perfect living prison for his enemies radak an intelligent famed Hunter with extraordinary tracking abilities hakan an egotistical cruel and unpredictable brute disliked by many of his fellow paraka and vzok who is arguably the most dangerous of them all with a calm and collected personality combined with excellent tactical skills and a high intelligence as these former dark Hunters arrived at pterodax is manga Lair they came upon his body crushed and mangled by the Fallen Gate unaware of the true nature of the makuda the paraka happily ventured onwards ready to claimed the treasures within when radak attempted to steal the kohi kocun Mask of Shadows it revolted against his touch activating an automatic defense mode to hurl bolts of Shadow at any being other than a makuda that tried to access it and so giving up on the kakan the paraka ventured deeper into the lair coming across more and more ancient tools and weapons one of these artifacts was the mysterious Spear of fusion created centuries ago by araka with the power to merge beings together or split them apart toying around with the spear hakan accidentally Set It Off In Reverse upon vzok splitting him in two in vaso's place were now two beings a deformed half being they dubbed vzon who was imbued with vaso's tactical thinking but driven completely mad and what was left of vzok whose once calm intelligent and collected nature had disappeared with only a brutish rage field being left immediately the rage field vzok attacked vzon in a blind rage and in the commotion that followed the ancient mono Rahi awakened guardians of makuta's Lair as the paraka fled mangaya the gous spirit of makuda pterodax seeped into their minds implanting the idea into their heads to travel to voan Nui and claim the mask of Life the paraka unaware that pterodax had given them the idea decided to seek out the mask for fame glory and power unknowing of makuta's true purpose for the mask of Life as a recap of chapter 2 the makuda species evolved to no longer actually have any organic components instead every makuda exists in the form of what we call an anti- dermis Spirit which means that they can essentially possess any suit of armor or purely robotic being but that also means that if their Spirit were to be left too out in the open for too long then they would eventually die however this comes with an added benefit because essentially the makuda are like ghosts which means they can act as spirits and influence the minds of others in their vicinity to do their bidding as the Six Original paraka scattered and fled from the mono veson took advantage of the commotion to seize the Spear of Fusion for himself and began a journey to voan Nui on his own as the rest of the paraka emerged on the shores of the island of M Nei they discovered the original six canisters that toam Ma used to travel to the island formulating a cunning scheme Zack tan suggested that when the paraka arrive on voan Nui they fool any native matorin claiming to be a unique breed of TOA Heroes sent to protect and lead them as they began preparations to arrive on vui hakan secretly sent a message detailing their plans to the shadowed one leader of the dark hunters in the hopes that selling out his teammates would earn him a reward one by one the par arrived on voan Nui claiming to be TOA it's matorin who had not encountered TOA since Jovan had led his team there in the great disruption believed the paraka ruse although some had their misgivings due to the blatant violence the paraka displayed immediately claiming to be their saviors the paraka put the Maturin to work to drain the lake of lava and construct a massive stronghold within this paraka stronghold zachan collected pterodax anti- dermis energies in a large vet though he did not real I I its true nature this action preserved the life of the makuda which had anchored to the paraka back in mangaya as zakan spent more and more time alone in the darkness of the stronghold under the thrall of the spirit of makuda pterodax he began to ponder dark designs evil Contraptions and mysterious Sciences Zack tan summoned avac to his chamber to create strange Launchers from mysterious ideas planted in his head by pterodax one of which was stolen by the Muran garan who grew more and more suspicious of the paraka presence on voan nuui meeting with a few other trusted murin Gan examined the launcher realizing it was a weapon constructed to fight the murin themselves realizing the matorin growing suspicious of them hakan and avac joined together to create a creature of fire and stone summoning it to attack the Maturin near the base of Mount valmai while hakan controlled it avak drove it away from the villagers pretending to defend the Mator the two false TOA boldly defeated the monster winning the admiration of the Maturin at large and yet Gan and His companion Balta remained suspicious following the paraka and over hearing them discuss their past as dark Hunters appalled Gan officially formed the voan Nei resistance team in their Mountain Hideway consisting of himself Balta and four other Maturin named Kazi dalu Pak and valika in the prologue to this series we revealed that valika was actually no normal matorin in fact valika is the great being in Disguise who actually is responsible for giving sents to the entire Maturin universe and so you may be wondering what he's doing just kind of running around on voan Nei well essentially he joined the matorin resistance team mostly just to observe his so-called creations and to see how they interact with each other and how well the Maturin could fight back another thing to note about velika and the rest of the murin on voan Nui is that every single murin on that island was actually sent there by by carani The Mad Titan in chapter one we described how araka and karani who were brothers had a rivalry and carani who was given his own realm and a job to repair all murin was slowly driven insane and instead of repairing murin he instead just mutilated them and gave them weapons to compensate so essentially these murin are a lot shorter and more deformed than your normal murin but they have pretty powerful tools and weapons to fight back against anyone who would attack them of course every maturan sent to vui was sent from Kanani's land before he was driven even more mad and just closed off his Gates and took all the murin in that he had still left as his own servants and we'll get to that in a second meanwhile Zack Tan's plan was nearing completion under the influence of pterodax zachan created thin zammer spheres of anti- dermis and realized it had the power to bend the mind of any matorin turning them into feeble-minded slaves placing a prominent murin leader under their sway the paraka ordered him to gather all the murin for a meeting where they plotted to place the entire populace under the sway of pterodax and so that night all but the six members of the murin resistance had gathered together and with the power of aac's new zamer sphere launchers the paraka succeeded in enslaving the minds of nearly every voam nuui Maturin tragically the maturan resistance team was too late and as they returned to their Village they discovered the entire populace transformed into mindless slaves laboring day and night to empty the volcano as matorin fell into the lava and perished or were outright killed by the paraka for working too slow garan grew more and more disgusted and outraged with voan Nui now shrouded in darkness and disrepair its only hope was the powerful team of toan NOA on route to the island guardians of peace and Justice part two fall of the toan NOA after traveling through the oceans around voan nuui the toan NOA finally made landfall on the west coast of the Mysterious Island unaware of the dangers now present on the island moving Inland they were spotted by hakan and Rak who attacked the tanova with a hail of Boulders that kickstarted a massive battle between the two forces even with all six toan NOA against just two paraka the battle was vicious and neither side managed to gain the upper hand hearing the sounds of battle on the far side of the island the rest of the paraka rushed to join the fight unaware that in this distraction Balta a member of the newly formed maturan resistance team had managed to sneak into their stronghold to steal some zammer fears to study them radak proved to be almost Unstoppable causing the TOA to concentrate on him while the other paraka arrived unaware of the paaka's abilities the battle quickly went South for the toan NOA hakan defeated G with a mental blast avak imprisoned kopaka in the perfect jail and after a brief but intense sword fight tahu was overwhelmed by Zack Tan's Proto swarm Lewa pohatu and onua finally downed Rak but were subsequently defeated by the other Raa with leak's arrow blade snapped completely in half in an instant the battle was over just as it began with the toaa completely overwhelmed by the surprise attack stripping them of their mass and weapons zachan ordered the rest of the paraka to throw the toa's lifeless bodies into the fiery deaths of Mount vmai meanwhile back on metroui jaller became suspicious about the prolonged disappearance of the toan NOA and attempted to question the taga who refused to answer him Furious he ordered a strike in the city ordering all reconstruction work to stop until the truth was revealed knowing that news of the rapidly approaching death of the great manui would destabilize the matorin populace and spread panic that taga refused to relent only stating that TOA were away on a great Mission and urging the matorin to return to work however terraa noama pied Jer and secretly informed him of the dire consequences of the toan noas quest and the fact that it had been many months without any word from the famed Heroes and so jaller decided to take the initiative and set off for voan nuui to help the toan NOA with a team of five other matori among this company was Holly the Goro Koli champion and chronicler who had aided the TOA in their previous Adventures kongu the captain of the lakeo gako Air Force who led efforts against makuta's Rahi attacks years ago nuparu the onu matorin engineer who created the powerful boxor to use against The Boro hooki the sports champion of poo and matoro the translator to taga nuju and soul Keeper of the secrets of the taga he also recruited takua TOA of light who was eager for an adventure the Maturin and takua traveled through an underwater shoot to find themselves on a narrow strip of land in the south of metris Dome after scouting ahead for some time jaler found a tunnel leading to the South he could not tell what was beyond it and takua decided that as a TOA he should go in first when he ventured forth into the tunnel however he vanished from sight despite the bright light he was exuding despite repeated efforts the mysterious tunnel seemed to absorb all light and sound after several failed attempts to pass through the tunnel Jer instructed his friends to travel through in groups of three Jer hooki and kongu went first and immediately disappeared from view nuparu told the remaining two hooki and matoro to tie themselves together so they would not get lost in the darkness of this mysterious passageway matoro felt a presence clutch his hand initially scared Maturo realized it meant him no harm and the stranger was potentially also seeking a way out of the tunnel and so as they ventured on matoro gripped the hand of this mysterious stranger leading them onwards he emerged to find takua and the rest in front of him but as he turned to see who had grabbed his hand The Stranger let go and disappeared back into the tunnel to not alert his fellow companions matoro chose not to mention this peculiar event and the company continued onwards towards voan Nui by land little did he know but this mysterious presence was actually the consciousness of the kohi ignika mask of life itself seeking a new Bearer The Mask had decided to test the morality and worthiness of matoro who had passed this first test by being willing to help a complete stranger when he himself was in a time of need and surrounded by Darkness back on metui tagad Duma discovered that takova jaler and his companions had left for voan nuui enraged he summoned the taga to his Chambers and accused one of them of re raling their secret finally noama stepped forward confessing she had informed jaller of the toa's quest but had not anticipated he would set out for vui and take the city's last defense takua with him in the shadows around metroui the dark Hunters led by the shattered one searched for the mask of time realizing that the city was undefended they prepared to strike meanwhile on voi the matoran resistance team were HED up in their Mountain Hideaway on the slopes of Mount vmai anxiously awaiting bta's return with the Intel gain from the paraka stronghold they were interrupted by P who brought bad news five of the paraka were coming their way accompanied by six strangers these strangers of course were the powerless toan noova who zachan had ordered to be thrown in the burning fires of the volcano just then the ground Shook and the volcano erupted disturbed by the non-stop mining underneath as the paraka fled the molten lava the toan NOA began to slowly regain Consciousness tahu called called out to pohatu who raised walls of stone to keep the lava at Bay with little time to spare Lea carried go to safety as pohatu helped onua to his feet during the scramble kopaka burned his leg badly as at TOA ran Northwest to escape the hot lava as the maskless weaponless toan NOA fled the eruption they were watched and followed by the murin resistance team who had mistaken them for allies of the paraka and so just as the toan NOA made their way down to safety they were confronted by the maturan resistance team and despite their efforts to explain that they were TOA tahu and the others failed to convince Gan and his team that they were not false TOA much like the paraka a quick Skirmish broke out between the two groups with the TOA reluctant to harm the Maturin but easily being overpowered due to their weakened state to buy the TOA some time to discuss strategy tahu generated a wall of fire but it was too late G was hit by dal's enhanced weapons which enhanced her sight to a frightening degree and drove her into madness frustrated and outraged kopaka proceeded through the wall of fire and quickly froze three of the atoran while tahu attempted to subdue a now mad Galley as she Rampage to the Wilderness onua and Lea kept kpaka from using lethal force and the battle came to an uneasy pause where the TOA once again attempted to explain who they were but the weary Maturin would not budge and the two sides ready for combat once again near the base of the mountain Balta fled with a zamere and Tow discovered by The paraka vzok Who chased him in a brute rage terrified Balta hid inside a cave which was promptly sealed Shut by vok leaving him there to die just as Balta was about to slip into unconsciousness a mighty axe cleaved the cave entrance into two and he stood facing the Titan axon member of the order of manui who had been stationed on the island years ago axon bid Balta to go to his friends and tell them to stop fighting the tanova and then departed encountering golly stumbling through the woods axon healed her Minds with the mask of Truth and sent her back to join the other toan NOA promising to reveal himself and his intentions when the time was right if you recall from chapter 4 axon the guy wielding an Axe and brutaka the brutish looking guy were the two order of manui members stationed on the island of vui who were essentially the sworn Protectors of the mask of life unfortunately during the Great cataclysm brutaka lost his faith in manui believing that the great spirit had forsaken them and slowly falling close closer and closer into darkness axon on the other hand held steadfast in his resolve and essentially stayed as the sole protector of the mask of life as well as the murin of voan nuui during this time axon has been biting his time and essentially trying to decide what is the right time to strike against the paraka whereas brutaka was beginning a downward spiral Into Darkness harboring ideals to claim the mask of life for himself back at the base of the mountain the toan NOA found themselves in a standoff against the murin right as Balta rushed in and urged his comrades to stop fighting the tanova as a show of Faith onua removed his armor making himself vulnerable in front of the murin and promising he would not fight back should they attack him convinced by this gesture Gan ordered the rest of the Maturin to stand down and the two factions Allied against the paraka during all of this the paraka themselves were facing some internal conflicts of their own angered that the rest of the gang hadn't confirmed the tanova were dead zakan lashed out at the rest of the paraka ordering them to find and kill the toan NOA at all costs and have the murin work harder to speed up the draining of the volcano not to mention the loing mystery of what happened to vzon and where he went as Zack 10 left the stronghold the devious hakan lurked behind him curious as to why zachan was so urgently attempting to claim the mask of Life hakan discovered zachan deep in conversation with the mysterious brutaka axon's former companion and watched as brutaka was struck with a zammer fear that to hakan's surprise made him stronger and angrier rather than susceptible and weak willed Zack who knew all along haakan was trailing him made efforts to lead him closer to brutaka in his angered State hoping the Titan would dispose of hakan for him during all this conflict on the island the brave company of joller takua matoro and the rest of the murin ventured onwards over the dangerous land passageways to voan nuui they proceeded along a narrow land bridge surrounded by a violent ocean and neared a stone archway leading to a dizzzy path that ran between two mountains there hookie discovered a great mask left over from a fallen Warrior and alerted his friends takova tried it on and hearing Holly's thoughts realized it was a Sulu mask of telepathy the group then stopped to rest Jer keeping first watch while takua scouted ahead plagued with confusion and fear over his experience in the tunnel Maturo was restless and in the dark of night he reached out to jaller to discuss his fears but was interrupted by akua's return he had seen a Maturin on the other side of the archway and so the group moved closer to the arch as a six Maturin pass through the Gateway takova was repelled back by an invisible force field which then blocked the murin from returning back as the group realized the barrier was built to keep murin in and beings of light out takova gave up and began his return to metroui nowhere else to go meanwhile the Muran proceeded along the path unsure of what dangers awaited them in this mysterious land and why the invisible Gateway had HED and locked them in part three the realm of Madness without their TOA protector and friend jer's group of Brave matorin ventured alone traveling through unfamiliar territory and climbing a vast Cliff as scuttling noises were heard all around them they were beckoned by a frightened Maturin soon quickly surrounded by an escort of Manas raki The Powerful Beast who once guarded pterodax Lair their matorin guide LED them into to a huge Canyon populated by more twisted and anguished matorin where common laws of nature do not seem to apply a volcano erupted in burning ice screams echoed from the ground itself and dust trickled by in a waterfall Holly observed a terrible metal Castle far in the distance comparable in size to the Coliseum of metroui and covered with twisted and Jagged Towers soon enough they encountered the Mad Titan carani who they recognized from the legends of Tona told again to recap chapter 1 Beginnings karani was one of the most powerful beings created at the birth of the matorin universe by the great beings whose job was to repair damaged Maturin and send them back to their respective homelands however after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of his brother araka for the mask of creation karani was driven more and more insane and after the great beings departed he began to lose his skill of repairing matorin just mutilating them and giving them weapons to compensate because of this shame he began first sending Maturin to voan nuui which is why all the matorin on voi look kind of deformed in our wielding very strange weapons and after this as taga realized that any matorin sent to karan's land was never sent back they began to just block off all pths of Entry to his land which drove carani even more insane and caused him to enslave all of the remaining maturan he had on his Island as his own personal Workforce carani had has essentially remained there to this day and has been completely unaware of any of the external events of the matorin universe just sticking to his own kingdom as Jer and his companions were brought before karani the Mad Titan confirmed the legends about him were true but did not recognize the names of makuda or manui at his order strange and grotesque Maturin emerged from the darkness to take their belongings and carani ordered Jer and the rest to take off their masks in a show of defiance Jer refused stating his mask had once belonged to the great toan and would never be separated from him in response karani used his kohi oi the mask of alternate Futures to force a vision on Jer and the rest depicting what would have happened had he not sacrificed his life for tuua months ago in their battle with the rocki startled and overwhelmed by the horrific Vision Jer took off his mask and succumbed to the rule of carani just then matoran workers brought the company sets of strange new masks as symbols of their identity being Stripped Away in servitude to carani only kongu managed to avoid this mask slipping on the Sulu they had found abandoned on the path earlier karani then ordered all of them to tend to the fires with the exception of the chronicler Holly who was to tell karani of the going on in the outside world as the rest of the Maturin were sent to a colossal fmis Holly engaged in deep conversation about the current events of the matorin universe explaining to karani the dire mission to save madoui karani of course scoffed at the this Mission believing none in the universe to be more powerful than himself and araka and not believing any Tales whatsoever of the great spirit manui as the hours passed Hol took a short rest and sat down on a rock only to hear it scream underneath as her feet slowly began to turn to Stone after Holly recoiled in fear the Mad Titan carani began to chuckle warning her that all the Rocks around them were once matorin forcibly turned to stone for pausing his infernal work in the meantime the other five managed to slip away from their mindless work at the furnace discovering a stone tablet that detailed karan's fall to Madness and his original purpose in the universe realizing their lives were in immediate danger and carani would never let them leave jaler and the other for matorin made haste to escape the realm immediately desperately searching for any exit in their search they stumbled upon an old mysterious aorin who despite being completely insane managed to explain that he was once the Builder of all TOA canisters back in the amator and refuge of anui the heart of the robot explaining that six experimental TOA canisters were stored in a secret chamber beneath karan's Island this mysterious Builder led the five matorin into the deps done listening to Holly's Tales karani brought her to the furnace only to discover her five companions were missing Furious that matorin would oppose him he scoured his Island both with his eyes and mind and located them in the vault dragging Holly behind him karani Advanced towards the Vault to punish them by this time deep in the underground chamber jaler announced his plan to retrieve Holly and Escape in the canisters but the Builder objected and told them the canisters were only for TOA ignoring him jaler instructed nuparu to decipher the canisters workings while the other four left to get H however they were stopped by carani Holly in his grasp who denounced them as Liars believing that there were no such thing as TOA or manui and prepared to destroy the canisters Thinking Fast matoro goated carani into using his mask and showing them the worst Vision possible a future in which manui were to die and the murin universe with him at the end of the vision the matorin were shaken by the tragedy but karani even more so astounded that manui had greater power than him the Muran seized their chance collecting Holly and entering the canisters while the mysterious Builder elected to stay having been heartened by the knowledge that manui was not dead yet jer's group activated the canisters and departed carani setting a course for anui as they left carani realized that Holly's Tales were true and that manui for all his great power was currently asleep intending to fill this power vacuum and expand his Empire he began to follow the matorin to voan nuui part four reign of the paraka as Jer and their friends faced their trials in karan's realm of Madness conflict was brewing on the island of vui lurking behind brutaka hakan offered the following Warrior a deal brutaka would help hakan dispose of zachan and hakan would procure more zers speres filled with anti- dermis for brutaka to make him more powerful of course neither had any intention of keeping their word whatsoever but with this shaky Alliance struck brutaka and hakan began heading back to the paraka stronghold meanwhile as avak and th searched for the toan NOA throughout an area of voan nuui known as the Green Belt they suddenly came to a realization Rahi Wildlife trees and water were so plentiful across the green belt despite the rest of the island being mostly a Barren Wasteland because the mask of Life must be hidden somewhere underneath the belt and zachan had been focusing their efforts on the volcano as a distraction to claim the mask for himself under the green belt furious with their leader and intending to confront him once and for all the pair of paraka rushed back to the stronghold confronting Zack 10 avak used his mental powers to generate the perfect prison that produced earsplitting sounds every time zachan cried to break out driving the protoy out of their minds Tha eagerly appointed himself the new leader of the paraka but hakan arrived with guns blazing thinking they had staged a coup and wning in on the action as avak was struck with hakan's blast he nearly lost Focus to maintain Zach's prison causing th to turn against hakan in a rage just then hakan introduced brutaka who advanced inward intending to kill all six paraka with his bare hands and claim the anti dermis for himself coincidentally the maskless weaponless TOA and the Muran resistance team had chosen this exact time to also strike against the paraka stronghold tricking an approaching radak into bashing in the door the toan NOA and matorin slipped in retrieving their tools and moving inwards to reclaim the kohi masks and gain back their full strength by this time Rak had stumbled upon the chaos within the stronghold avak and th were fighting brutaka as hakan watched gleeful radak realizing hakan was behind all of it approached hakan from behind and threw him into avac knocking the cage Master unconscious and freeing zachan from his prison at that exact moment the toena Blasted open the Eastern door armed with their reclaimed masks and tools and accompanied by the resistance team Zack tried to Rally up his fellow paraka to fight but they stood back realizing that TOA could defeat zakan for them resorting to Desperate Measures zakan offered to give brutaka the secret of the anti-ma Spheres if he could help him and so in one Mighty swing of his sword brutaka downed all six TOA and six murin ending the conflict before it could even begin the murin were taken with the paraka to be interrogated by radak in the chamber of Truth while the TOA were left in brutaka hands dumping the bodies of the unconscious toaa in a holding cell brutaka left them to drain their elemental powers and eventually die as the matorin resistance team was taken to the interrogation chamber dalu regained Consciousness and began to study her surroundings as Zack ten boast about his second victory over the toan NOA admiring their masks d saw her chance to flee and escaped alone running into hakan she was briefly recaptured until zachan caught up with the pair blaming zachan for his negligence in letting her loose hakan confronted the Green paraka in an argument that soon turned violent and so in a vicious fight that ended with hakan defeated and crushed by a boulder duu managed to escape once again as the paraka fought each other meanwhile th and radak had separated from the group and roam the slopes of Mount valine discussing the power of the mask of life as this discussion quickly turned into an argument over who would claim it first Tha saw his chance to seize more power and pushed radak off a cliff thinking he was one less threat to worry about enraged Rak managed to climb back up attacking Tha and attempting to throw him off the cliff in turn back in the stronghold as alliances began to crumble all around them AAC proposed an alliance with vzok who in turn told him he already had made a secret deal with radak to kill the rest of them but offered to spare aac's life once they found a of life just then the two paraka were ambushed by axon who had finally decided to reveal himself during all this chaos and make the first move tricking the paraka into a cave of vui's knowledge axon triggered a cave in temporarily trapping avak and vzok within and so as axon rushed to confront the other paraka he found them brawling amongst themselves with all six members engaged in a massive freefor all avak and vasak burst free from the cave and the conflict between the six paraka and axon SP B to undiscovered regions of the island where all seven combatants stumbled upon the remains of a seventh TOA canister the one that vason had used to get to the island claiming vason had become a servant to the mask of life and was beyond their reach axon prepared to strike down all six paraka at once ending their blight upon vui but was attacked from behind by brutaka knocking down the two Titans as axon and brutaka squared up to battle the six paraka entered an uneasy truce fleeing from the conflict between the two former friends as they fled hakan devised a devious scheme to steal brutaka power for themselves and looped in radak th and avac on the plan to create a zammer sphere that siphoned the power of its Target into the user as all this happened deep within the hidden Chambers underneath voan nuui somewhere on the island vzon discovered the mask of Life calling to him taking advantage of his Madden mind to convert him into its own servant and protector upon arriving in the Majestic Chamber Of Life life Von attempted to seize the mask for himself but was instead cursed by it the mask fused Von to an enlarged spider Rahi named fenra and gave him the power of foresight and the ability to absorb kinetic energy and The Mask itself fused to Von's head making him one of its Guardians Von remained in the chamber for the next few weeks toying with the sphere of fusion and waiting for his Quarry to arrive and so as the fighting died down and the island settled in for the night the six TOA canister ERS that held jaler Holly kongu hooki nuparu and matoro began their approach to vui in the midst of a great storm as Lightning crashed above a bolt from the red star lanced downwards striking all six canisters and transforming the murin within no longer were they mere Maturin adventurers now they were powerful and unique new TOA lightning coursing through their veins and electricity emanating from their very bodies these were the TOA in NAA and a six new TOA spirit Stars appeared in the night sky the time for new Heroes was upon us with the six paraka scattered axon and Baka still continuing their non-stop battle and the toan NOA imprisoned and alone the fate of voan nuui and the world was more dire than ever near the interrogation Chamber Of Truth Balta awoke and freed the rest of his comrades save dalu who had already escaped it was then that velica introduced the resistance team to a pool of energized protodermis the ancient material that had split ferus Magna apart Millennia ago and claimed they could use it to free the maturant from the effects of the makuda anti- dermis quickly Gathering the substance and zos feres of their own the maturan resistance team took Refuge back in their Hideaway to plan their next moves meanwhile ashore on the island Jer and his companions awoke in their strange new bodies still reeling from their sudden transformation the TOA took shelter in a cave to plan their next actions and as they examined their new armor and masks they discovered that the masks themselves were somehow sensient and alive and their maskless faces gave off bright blinding glows as they experimented with their new abilities the six TOA discovered that their elemental powers were entwined with innate lightning and their unique Mass Powers could even activate against their will inadvertently using the power of His kohi Iden the mask of spirit muro's body crumpled to the ground as his soul flew onwards spotting the murin resistance team nearby he reported this to the other TOA who agreed to meet the Muran and ask him about the island at the Muran resistances Mountain Hideaway the six TOA andika finally met the maturan rebels and discussed their situation armed with new energized protodermis zamour launchers developed by valika the TOA Ena and Maturin managed to free many enslaved Maturin while catching up with axon who had been badly injured by brutaka and made them promise to stop the unhinged Warrior at all costs as the TOA and maturan rushed to the stronghold to free the toan NOA and defeat the paraka A great battle began fighting off the strongholds automated defenses the TOA rushed in preparing to end the Menace of the paraka once and for all while the Maturin rush into the Fortress to find and free the toaa the TOA and Nika clashed with the paraka in one-on-one duels Naro engaging his kohi Caden the mask of flight to propel zakan far away from the battle deep within the Fortress the maturan resistance team encountered ancient carvings and historical documents seized by the paraka documents that spoke of a village that once existed thousands of of years ago named Mari neui that had sunk into the blackwaters of voan neui in a devastating catastrophe marii was first mentioned in chapter 4 infection which was essentially describing how the matorin had built a Grand Village at top the island of vui but in a catastrophic accident the land mass containing Marin nuui sunk beneath the waves and essentially caused the matorin to be forced to adapt to this underwater environment creating and farming large bubbles of aired to produce d above their heads and encase their city in oxygen we'll be seeing this underwater city very very soon so the hints are kind of being laid down here first just then hakan put his devious plan into motion firing the Power siphoning Sphere at brutaka just as th realized the deception and arranged to also be overloaded with brutaka strength and so in a blast of energy brak's raw strength and power was drained from his body and transferred to hakan and th who forced him to finally reveal the secret location of the mask of Life underneath the green belt with their Newfound strength hakan and th defeated the remaining five TOA Ena and the rest of the paraka leaving all the combatants in prison in the Fortress as they headed to claim the MK location Alone part five race for the mask of Life having defeated zachan in battle nuparu returned to the Fortress to find a devastating sight before him his TOA Ena comrades were reeling from the fight still imprisoned in the Fortress while brutaka avac radak and vzok lay besides them all weakened and bruised from Battle just then axon arrived still wounded and while he desperately wanted to head directly for the mask of life to stop hakan and th Jer convinced him to stay with them and band together as one as the TOA realized the best way to stop the pair of overpowered paraka was to return brutaka power to him it became clear that only the remaining paraka namely avac knew how to do that and so an uneasy alliance between the Baraka axon brutaka and the TOA Ena was formed all four separate parties working together against a larger threat while the paraka created a unique zamer sphere that would reverse the effect of brutaka power theft axon Warren Jer of the many Guardians protecting the mask of life and discreetly handed him a glowing zamer Sphere for use in emergencies and so the alliance left for the green belt while axon stayed behind to tend to his former friend brutaka as they scoured the green belt hakan and th turned on each other and began to fight devastating their surroundings and exposing the entrance to the 777 stairs secret hiding place of the mask of Life following this trail of Destruction the TOA Ena and the remaining paraka confronted them launching their surprise weapon and restoring ruta's powers back to him in a flash of energy leaving every member involved unconscious save for zachan whose prototyp nature saved him from the blast back in the Fortress brutaka power and strength returned to him in an exp explosion of energy and despite axon's Promises of forgiveness brutaka refused to submit and the two former friends prepared for deadly combat within the paraka stronghold Reawakening before the TOA enika the paraka slowly came to banding together under Zack Tan's lead once again as they descended the 777 stairs to the mask of life soon afterwards the TOA and naika regained Consciousness quickly following the paraka in a race to the ignika as they ran down the steps the paraka came into a fork in the tunnel with the left path blocked and descended the zone of nightmares there they came face to face with a grotesque being with golden skin the legendary nnak a nightmares creature from Scotti mythology who had been manifested from their worst fears into flesh and Bone collapsing to the ground in fear the paraka recoiled from the sight of the Monstrous being all except zachan Who challenged erac to a battle of wits realizing nck was merely an illusion of fear manifested by the mask of Life zachan threatened to kill the rest of the paraka to purge the fear from their minds thus killing the false nnac as a result claiming that the horrors in his bass deeply changed him and that he was the true embodiment of fear itself zachan passed the first test and forced the projection of erac to melt away meanwhile the TOA andika soon came to a fork in the path but this time the left path was open and the right path to the paraka zone of nightmares was closed off as they headed down the path the TOA and Nika came face to face with a projection of TOA Leon who warned them to turn back before they met the same fate as him ignoring the warning and continuing to press onwards the TOA and NAA came face to face with some of the many monsters beasts and evil beings that threatened them during their time as matorin on the island of manui facing them was the insectoid Nui ramari the Fearsome muaka that dreaded borak and borak K the exact raki turak that had killed jism Torin and makuda pterodax himself as the Anika leapt into battle they found themselves radiating with lightning and Elemental ability and despite their intentions they killed every single one of their opponents in an instant the bodies of their enemies shifted before them on the ground in the forms of the toan NOA recoiling in horror the TOA andika were convinced they had been tricked into slaying the toan NOA and their new powers had spiraled out of control all except Jer who took the lead and convinced the rest of his team that this was a trick by the mask of life and that they must press on despite their fears as the Ana moved onwards the corpses vanished behind them and they realized it was all an illusion back in the paraka stronghold the heated combat between axon and brutaka raged on brutaka used his kohi olac to open a dimensional portal to the field of Shadows behind axon and tried to force him into it meanwhile the matorin Came Upon the tanova who had been enslaved by anti- dermis and weakened by a device that drained their elemental power utilizing their own zamour launchers the matorin freed the toaa and informed them of the existence of the TOA enika back in the catacombs below the island the paraka continued their Quest finding themselves trapped in individual cylinders as the water level beneath them began to rise filling the room with a mysterious black liquid after the events of chapter 3 where the great cataclysm destroyed most of the Maturin Universe a lot of its radioactive energies energized protodermis and other materal ials began to seep into the black Waters surrounding the pit jail transforming it into a pit mutagen which transformed the baraki from proud Warlords into grotesque underwater freaks this same black pit mutagen was about to mutate the paraka very slowly before they actually did anything just then a voice rang out amongst the chamber an ancient recording of a great being itself The Voice stated that the paraka would be released if they all pulled their levers at the same time but if one of them pulled his lever early then only he would be released free to claim the mask for himself and himself alone scrambling to each pull the lever first radak managed to be the first to free himself but to his confusion pulling his own lever freed all six paraka exposing the group to the mutagenic black Waters of the pit unaware of these mutagenic effects the paraka swam through the passage eventually encountering the lava chamber gate where they prepared to battle the TOA and NAA who are currently facing their own trials within the Chamber of death the TOA and NAA encountered the recorded voice of a great being as well who stated that in order for them to pass one of them must sacrifice his or her life giler nearly volunteered for the sacrifice but his guilt and fear held him back having been killed once before by araki he was traumatized from The Experience Paralyzed by fear in his place matoro volunteered claiming that as an interpreter and not a warrior he was of the least use to the team as a beam of energy shot forth from the ceiling matoro was seemingly destroyed but his body was reconstituted and the voice proclaimed that they had passed the trial as the TOA and NAA continued onwards facing unique enemies like enlarged protox and the being known as Umbra sworn guardian of the mask of life and servant of the order of manui they finally approached the great lava chamber gate and the paraka laying in wait for them in a brief battle kongu inadvertently created a massive Cyclone that buried the TOA Nika beneath the bridge and the paraka left them for dead to claim the mask of life as the group approached the Chamber Of Life the paraka were finally reunited with the Mad half being vason who wielded the Spear of fusion fused to the back of his head was the legendary kohi ignika mask of Life which had siphoned Von's mind and turned them into its protector Von offered to give it to them if they had killed vzok but zachan discerned that vason couldn't even give the ignika to them if he wanted to Von then used the Spear of fusion to merge vasak and radak into a monstrous giant which lashed out in a blind rage defeating the other paraka back in the paraka stronghold the battle between Ruta and axon raged on with axon warning brutaka that his outwardly treasonous actions against the order of manui would summon the omnipresent Jailer botar who would send brutaka into the pit prison as previously mentioned in chapter 3 when the pit jail was struck during the Great cataclysm most of it sunk beneath the waves and despite boar still transporting prisoners there to this day most of the pit has essentially been destroyed and all the water seeping in causes any inhabitant to be teleported into the pit to be automatically mutated by the black water in its days of Glory in Chapter 2 when the pit was still fully operational botar teleported prisoners there such as the baraki Warlords in their failed revolt against the great spirit Maui driven to rage by brutaka corruption axon attacked with unbelievable Force shrugging off brutaka attacks entirely in desperation brutaka looked the vat of anti- dermis looking for a power surge increase but axon destroyed it before he could reach it managing to strike down brutaka with a blast of power axon left brutaka unconscious and makuda pterodax spirit unleashed from the anti-der vat yet again in a flash of blinding energy as axon foretold botar the Jailer of the order of manui materialized taking custody of brutaka and warning axon that any attempts to interfere with his punishment would be met with the same nevertheless axon privately vowed to free his friend and redeem him back to the light back in the chamber of the mask of Life Von separated the Raging paraka Fusion back into vzok and radak both falling unconscious from The Strain as the TOA and Nika came face to face with vzon and fenra final Guardians of the mask of Life an epic battle began and all six TOA Anda managed to force Von back into the lava but the mask of Life still fought to protect itself and test the TOA Ena mutating fenra into a monstrous card ass dragon as the fight recomened twofold the paraka slowly regained Consciousness biting their time in watching the TOA fight vason and his mutated Beast just then jaler realized the mask of Life had Sensen and ordered kongu to read its thoughts with a mask of telepathy to his surprise kongu discovered Thea desired Muro as its Bearer rather than Von transferring these thoughts into Von's mind kongu sent the half beinging into a rage dist in him long enough for Jer to fire axon's special zamer sphere which froze vason and cardas and stasis and allowed matoro to remove the ignika but before matoro had a chance to claim the mask of life and save the life of the great spirit robot manui the paraka sprang into action seizing their chance to take the mask for themselves in this commotion the mask of life began to Glow blasting upwards through the 777 stairs with the TOA Ana and paraka in Hot Pursuit the ignika LED them on to the surface and then plunged into the depths of the voan Nei Bay immediately diving after to retrieve it Holly was overwhelmed by immense pressure and began to drown just as all seemed lost a mysterious tomorin emerged from the deep underwater depths bringing Holly back to Shore and saving her life sickened by the change in pressure he gasped out a cryptic plea for help beneath the waves and died his final Act to save a TOA he never knew with the mask of Life plunged into the ocean the TOA and NAA were forced to hang back confused and disoriented from the whole ordeal little did they know but the mask of life was sensient itself and sense that many murin deep underneath the waves needed help and assistance and so plunged down beneath them in hopes the TOA Ena would follow and as they stood on the Bay of voan nuui axon and botar approached the TOA enika with the matoran resistance team leading the now freed and recovered toaa behind them naturally the paraka quickly fled back deciding to watch from a safe distance and not attract the ey of the combined forces and so in the aftermath of the battle the TOA NOA met the TOA enika for the first time marveling at their mysterious transformation and applauding their deeds and defeat over the paraka during this time botar spoke briefly with tahu informing him that the toa's Destiny was to retrieve and follow an ancient Scroll of preparations as decreed by the order of manui as such the TOA Ena were told to continue the Quest for the ignika alone for it was not the destiny of the toaa to save manu's life just yet to keep the toan noa's mission completely secret not even Jer nor his team were informed of where they were headed next and taho's promise to see them when this was all over turned out to never be fulfilled as the dust settled axon volunteered to watch over the murin of voan nuui finally coming into the light as their public protector and leaving the TOA and Nika free to pursue the mask of Life beneath the waves as the TOA Ena descended into the depths of the blackwat surrounding voy this chapter of their story closed and the fate of the great spirit manui and the entire robot Mator Universe hung in the balance with the stakes higher than ever and the two TOA teams embarking on separate crucial Quests for manui this ends chapter 6 the ignition Trilogy part one doomed previously on Bionicle retold chapter 6 the ignition Trilogy part one doomed countdown to catastrophe after thousands of years in disrepair the great spirit manui sensient energy source behind the robotic Mur universe is dying in a perilous quest to claim the kohi ignika mask of life and Kickstart The Rebirth of the robot the toan NOA traveled to the dangerous island of voan nuui there they faced a sound defeat at the hands of the brutish paraka Rogue dark Hunters unwittingly influenced by the spirit of makuda pterodax who sought to claim the mask for his own purposes concerned with the fate of the toan NOA the brave maturan Jer assembled a party of courageous Maturin to venture to voan nuui after a harrowing journey across the hellish realm of carani six new Heroes washed ashore on the beaches of voan nuui mutated by Cosmic lightning from the red star and glowing from electricity coursing through their veins they became the TOA Ena taking the fight to the paraka and aided by powerful members of the order of manui these TOA fought and they won but before they could claim the mask of life the ignika dove deep between the black waves of the dark oceans below voan nuui sensing Maturin in danger and lives to be saved this is Bionicle retold [Music] chapter 7 the ignition Trilogy part two sacrifice prologue ancient history thousands of years ago the great spirit manui created the six baraki Warlords radiant and Noble these baraki were the prime beings of the universe and divided the realm into a league of six kingdoms their rule was firm and absolute but as their power grew so did their ambition and greed plotting to overthrow manui and claimed total control over the matoran universe the six baraki began to raise armies amidst Their Kingdoms preparing for a great Revolution but one among their ranks was uncertain of their success hoping to gain the favor of the Brotherhood of makuda he sold them out and in a preemptive strike makuda pterodax general of the Grand Army of the makuda swiftly defeated the baraki Gathering armies and cap capured the six treacherous Warlords but before the traitor could reveal himself the mysterious botar servant of the order of manui revealed himself to the assembled Warlords and makuda teleporting the baraki to the darkness of the pit prison as Penance for their crimes thousands more years passed in darkness where the baraki stewed and rotted away in their confinement when pterodax himself enacted his grand plan to overthrow manui and cast him into a deep Slumber the great cataclysms violent Earth Quakes ripped the prison of the pit apart flooding it with the mutagenic Waters of the pit no longer were the baraki prime physical specimens instead they were now grotesque hideous creatures of the deep cursed to live beneath the waves of aquam Magna in their escape the baraki began to seize control of what little land they could beneath the ocean erecting a massive stronghold above the ruins of the pit but their brief rule was not to last and during a freak accident a chunk of land broke off from the island of of voan nuui and crashed deep beneath the waves carrying a small population of murin with it utterly demolishing this baraki stronghold the land mass known as Mari Nui settled beneath the waves with the murin farming the potent air weed disturbed by its Landing to form colossal spheres of malleable oxygen keeping the mutagenic Waters out Furious and Scattered the baraki were driven even deeper within the ocean becoming more twisted and deformed as their hatred for the murin of Marin Nei grew and their singular drive to escape the black Waters grew even stronger years passed with the matorin of Marin neui unaware of the baraki presence and barely managing to survive beneath the waves being picked off one by one by vicious sea creatures or unknown threats but all that was about to change as the kohi ignika mask of Life sensed their Peril and Dove deep beneath the waves the future of the baraki Maturin and all the universe was about to change and a great conflict beneath the waves was primed to begin if you're interested in learning a little bit more about the story it was actually covered all the way back in Chapter 2 rise of the Brotherhood in a lot more detail but of course I wanted to recap it now just so you know the most relevant bits for this particular Legend part one the Lost land welcome to Mari newie a former Coastal Village now sunk beneath the waves this lost land stood as a Bastion against the darkness of deeper waters anchored to the island of vui by a cord of solid protodermis left over from the eruption of Mount valmai ages ago in this underwater Village matorin farmed the precious aired harnessing it in Grand bubbles to keep out the mutagenic water over the years this Society radically diverged from all other civilizations with the murin growing stronger adapting to become great swimmers and even experimenting with unstable underwater craft to delve deeper to more and more unexplored parts of the ocean at the heart of this underwater Refuge was a murin council chamber inner sanctum where the murin of marui would gather monthly to discuss the latest issues and defense strategies here the matorin formed a direct democracy with different matorin leading the meetings each month this Council chamber was the largest room in all of Marin nuui with a vast Dome ceiling that allowed light through Crystal skylights lined with light Stones items that floated down from voi were also stored here before being moved to the murin holy Sanctuary a place of peace and worship to the great spirit manui but as more and more Maturin began to mysteriously disappear each day a state of emergency was declared throughout the underwater city the current Council leader of the month a lay matur named defac ordered a search the perilous black Waters of the pit to investigate these disappearances and launch a preemptive strike against these mysterious threats it was at this time of exploration and upheaval that the kohi ignika mask of Life plunged deep beneath the w waves surrounding vui sensing the matorin of marui in grave Peril as the glowing golden Mass descended into the deep it was observed by the matoran of marui who sent out a search party to retrieve it unaware of its true value but deep in the darkness of the pit the baraki also watched The mask's Descent and prepared to seize it for themselves Twisted by their time beneath the waves the six former Warlords reconvened for the first time in ages and plotted to seize the mask of life together hoping its transformative power could provide salvation curing them of their mutations the first of them was the cold and ruthless CMA whose mutations gave him regenerative properties and squid-like features commanding an army of giant squids Kalma was a formidable threat and was responsible for breeding an army of smaller sea squids parasitic life forms that could be fired from specialized launchers next was El a bitter but cautious former warlord suspicious of the other baraki in his first belief that one among their ranks had betrayed them Alec LED his own Army of Venom eels and was protected by a brutish Lieutenant named nocturn who he' recruited during his time in the pit prison moving onwards mantax was the most secretive of the baraki who spent most of his time alone lurking beneath the sand with his incredible hunting skills he too led a unique Army of underwater Rays using them as packs of hunting animals to forge her food and prey amidst the ocean most dangerous of all was the scheming Tado dox always seeking an edge over friend and foe alike he was the most skilled of the baraki at planning seeing Life as a game board and everyone is pieces to be moved as he wished despite not being physically strong takado dox's greatest ability was a powerful hypnotic sway which he could use to command the minds of lesser beings takadox used his hypnotic ability to continually hypnotize kopar the fifth baraki who once had a strong mind but whose mental skills were eroded due to centuries of pado dox's hypnosis the strongest and most brutal of the baraki kopar devolved into little more than a brutish bodyguard commanding an army of carass crbs and pitw tortoises to ride into battle and lastly they were led by prac The Vicious and arrogant shark-like baraki whose wit and speed propelled them to the top of their ranks establishing himself as the alpha male of a group of tea sharks pridak transformed them into his personal Legion becoming one of the most dreaded forces of nature these six baraki met and schemed as they discussed plans to seize the mask of life for themselves in the past they had seen no strategic value in attacking marui so they let the murin be but now that the ignika was about to fall into the possession of these underwater matorin things were about to drastically change part two darkness of the pit as the baraki plotted and formulated plans the mask of Life fell into the possession of a gat torn Scout named kirx as she took hold of the mask and brought it back to Marin nuui the raw energy of the mask of Life leaked out bringing inanimate objects to life all around her little did she know but every being who touches the mask of life is cursed with a unique and twisted power which in this case was to bring objects around her to life and sence as seaweed and plants sprouted mouths and began to scream and ride around her kirx recoiled in horror terrified by the raw power of the Mask just as she was about to be overwhelmed by the plan come to life a pooran hunter named diar leapt into action saving her from their grasp terrified into silence kyre gave the mass to dear and fled without any other words meanwhile deeper in the ocean takadox began to form schemes of his own hypnotizing Alex Lieutenant nocturn to deliver the mass to tedoc should it fall into his hands after being caught by CMA takx managed to convince him that he was spying on mantax Whose secretive and distrustful nature caused many of the baraki to not trust him in turn and as the two baraki began to scheme against mantax and followed them deeper and deeper into the pit they were ambushed by the Monstrous zlac who had retreated into the depths of the black Waters eons ago after being driven forth from metroui in the early days of the matorin universe if you recall back to chapter 1 Beginnings the zlac were hideous lizard-like creatures created by the great beings by accident they were opposed by the hand of araka and the very first TOA teams who eventually succeeded in driving them from the face of the matorin universe in a quick Skirmish takadox and CMA struggled to free themselves from the grip of The zlac Thinking Fast takadox directed his hypnotic abilities to nocturn once again provoking him to rush at the zlac and allowing himself and CMA to escape during this brief conflict the murin of marui geared up for an underwater exploration into the Waters of the pit counil leader defil and his close friend gar gathered a small strike force of murin on an expedition into the unknown the for matorin joined with a tomur named sarda and a gamur named Idris clustered together in defil ramshackle submarine and descended Into the Depths as they delv deeper and deeper They Came Upon the territory of pridak and his tea shark army who attacked their craft from all sides and utterly destroyed their submarine in the commotion sarda was tossed out as bait for the Sharks mutating into a water breather in the process while the rest of the murin were captured by prac and brought to his Chambers for interrogation unaware of this catastrophe darar The pooran Who currently held the mask of life began to ponder the nature and powers of the mysterious kohi on his way back to the city he was assaulted by a vicious Venom eel and despite all his attempts to harm or kill the creature diar was unable to injure the creature whatsoever in shock and fear diar witnessed a massive swarm of Venom eels headed directly for the city led by the baraki El who believed the mask of life to be held within the city's Gates quickly retreating back to the safety of the city dear rushed to warm the others unaware that he had been cursed by the ignika to radiate healing energy from his body making him unable to deal harm to any living being meanwhile takadox ordered kapar through hypnosis to kidnap kyx for information regarding the mask and although the overall interrogation had proved to be a failure takado dox and karar both learned that the mask of life was still in Mari neui fearful that ell's attack would totally destroy the city and the mask of Life Tako ordered carapar to stop El while he took kyre back to the city as a gift of Peace in turn carapar managed to force El to stop launching attacks on Marin neui in case the mask was still there as the commotion took place the large army of Venom eels had begun their assault on Marin neui the brave maturan fought hard to defend their homes and defeat the eels but due to dear's Healing presence no damage was done to the Army quickly realizing it was the fault of the mask of Life dear rushed to remove it from the city planning to smash the mass to pieces in an isolated cave far from the city meanwhile in the territory of prex tea sharks gar and Idris made plans to swim for the city as quickly as they could no matter how many dangers awaited them their companion defac was still being interrogated by pridak and the other Maturin began to lose hope that he would ever break free as the two Maturin staged their escape dear was spotted by CMA and menax who chased him to the isolated Cavern and in a swift stroke darar brought a sharp rock down on the mask of Life sending shock waves of energy as he cracked the surface of the legendary kohi just then Calmar seized darar with his tentacles as the ignika fell from his grasp but the sensient nature of the Mask acted to defend itself reaching out to a simple eel with Life Energy and transforming it into a 300 foot long monster the massive growth and transformation of this creature drove it mad and as it ride through the waters both darar and CMA were knocked unconscious with mantax quickly burrowing beneath the sand to escape its unfocused wrath as pridak continued interrogating defac about the mask of life growing tired of his stalling tactics they were interrupted by the maddened 300t eel which had Dove deeper into the ocean with chaos in its wake in the chaos defac caught up with gar and Idris barely managing to return safely to the city with news that sarda the Torin who had accompanied them was lost and likely killed little did they know that sarda was rescued by a mysterious stranger but that story is for another time as the matorin made their escape mantax caught up with prac and filled him in on the chaos unfolding around them as the two baraki headed for the cave where darar planned to destroy the mask of Life El and carapar quickly followed them suspecting that prac secretly knew the truth of who betrayed them years ago and planning to confront him as the baraki approached the cave they found that darar was long gone and in his place was a mysterious golden skinned stranger partially mutated by the Black Waters this Titan was brutaka who had recently been teleported deep beneath the waves to the pit prison by botar now Twisted into a water breathing creature brutaka demanded the baraki take him to the mask of Life at once if you recall from chapter 6 brutaka was the former member of the order of manui who broke off from his friendship with axon to pursue his own intents and seize the mask of life for himself after aiding with the paraka brutaka was defeated by axon in a great battle that smashed makuda pterodax anti- dermis vat and was teleported by botar to the remains of the pit prison unfortunately though because the pit prison is basically pretty much destroyed underwater this only brought brutaka one step closer to the mask of life as the 300t eel was distracted by the lights and glow of marii it swam towards the city with the matorin rushing to smash their light stones and plunge the city Into Darkness as it approached the cord anchoring marui to voi the eel was distracted by the sounds of a great battle raging inside the cord itself a battle that we shall revisit shortly as the eel reached the cord it slowly began to squeeze forcing the unknown combatants closer and closer to the entrance of the black Waters amidst this chaos darar regain Consciousness and saw the mask of Life laying besides him as he reached out and touched it the mask Shone with light and radiated A desperate call for help for the first time in its existence The Mask felt fear in this physical cont contct The Mask shared all its memories and deep history with darar who was overwhelmed by this onslaught of information and the true nature of the murin universe meanwhile bolts of energy flew as the six baraki worked together to subdue the 300 foot long eel arriving at the scene brutaka made a beline for darar who was still stunned by the power of the mask of life but before he could claim the mask brutaka was dragged deeper into the black Waters by a giant squid and prac broke off from the battle to seize the mask for himself just as pridak made contact with the glowing mask it reacted violently glowing with immense power and energy in the masks blinding light Life Energy radiated outwards surging massive transformative beings in every direction and changing the course of Destiny for the six TOA Ena who had just begun their descent into the pit Forever part three descent into the deep as the baraki Maturin and brutaka clashed over the mask of Life the TOA and had finalized their preparations and began their descent into the depths of the black Waters traveling through the hollow cord that anchored Marin nuui to voi the TOA and NAA were immediately embroiled in a Non-Stop three-way battle with the zlac beasts and the Mad half beinging vzon who had followed them from the Chamber of the mask of life in his attempt to regain the ignika as the zlac captured Von and dragged him away the TOA Anda continued to blast through their ranks voyaging deeper and deeper into the depths of the ocean just then as darar touched the mask of life and it sent out a transformative Cry for Help the six TOA were struck by its energy their very bodies and Anatomy transformed to adapt to the ocean environment no longer were they TOA in NAA now they were new water breathing TOA complete with new masks weapons and armor that were perfectly suited to their new habitat as the TOA reeled from their transformation the battle for the mask of Life still raged as energy shock waves radiated from the mask the pooran dear strangled by CMA close to death was transformed into a Reincarnation of the long dead Jailer of the pit Hy draxon memories flashed through dear's mind as ancient history was reborn before his eyes he witnessed glimpses of hydraxon early life as member of the hand of Arta and his recruitment into the order of manui by the first TOA helx herself he saw himself train the six TOA Ma and test both physical and mental building their team bonds he witnessed hydraxon Train's personal energy Hound spinax and used The Powerful Beast to test the toam mat and as the six toam mat descended into stasis in their canisters darar witnessed firsthand how hydraxon was assigned to be the guardian and Jailer of the pit prison with a fleet of emotionless maxos guards protecting him and then there was darkness when the Great cataclysm struck and demolished the pit hydraxon was Gravely injured and to all of history his story ended when takadox stumbling upon the injured Jailer took the opportunity to finish him off once and for all but to darar these memories were lost and the power of the mask of Life overwrote his Consciousness completely bearing his original personality in dear's place was the mighty hydraxon Titan Jailer of the order of manui with a quest to capture everyone in the open ocean Friend or Foe as he believed them all to be escaped pit prisoners as this happened the new TOA fought for their lives against the 300 foot long Venom eel kongu unwittingly used his new kohi zath the mask of summoning and summoned countless normal Venoms matoro then activated his new mask discovering to his repulsion that it was a kohi Trina the mask of reanimation with the deeply immoral power to allow its user to give artificial life to any corpse or dead body resurrecting them to serve as brainless Servants of the user's will using the mask matoro reanimated the long dead carcass of a tequa shark setting it forth against the mighty eel hooki using his new mask of gravity forced the eel to rapidly sink to the ocean floor knocking it unconscious and ending the chaotic battle appalled by the gruesome power of his new mask matoro vowed to never use it unless under extreme circumstances throughout the events of chapter 6 The kohi ignika or mask of Life wished to continually test the morality and willpower of Muro as murin it tested him deep within the dark tunnels to karan's Lair and it also tested him in the chamber of death where matoro volunteered to sacrifice himself for his friends now bestowing this very corrupt and immoral mask on matoro was the latest and a long line of tests of muro's morality and willpower with the battle won the TOA approached the city of Marin nuui but the murin were wary of these six strangers and asked that they prove themselves as TOA by fighting back against kar's Kos Krab Army which was ransacking their air weed Fields as leverage they demanded one among their ranks stay with them while the other five TOA undertook the quest and so matoro stayed behind soon realizing the power of the ignika had changed them forever and he could no longer breathe air in these air weed Fields the remaining five TOA were ambushed by the baraki claiming to be fellow prisoners of the pit like them the five TOA managed to trick the baraki into trusting them but this ruse only served to further confuse the matorin of marii who drove out matoro from their City thinking him to be allied with the baraki as matoro fled the city he was captured by hydraxon and taken to a remain of the pit prison to be confined in a solitary cell distrustful of the TOA the baraki placed the five remaining members in sea caves while they discussed amongst themselves what to do with them and what to do with the mask of Life which had fallen into prak's possession following the events of the battle when it became clear that none of the six baraki could agree on how to use the mask or what to even do with it they decided to temporarily place it in nocturn safekeeping thinking the brainless Lieutenant would nearly protect the Mas and follow their orders but the dimwitted nocturn soon discovered the mask granted him the curse of death and everything he made physical contact with immediately shriveled and died Overjoyed with this terrible new power nocturn abandoned his post taking the mask with him unbeknownst to him but cracks in The Mask made by darar were seeping Life Energy and uncontrollable forces began to permeate the animals and creatures around the mask including a microscopic Plankton like gadunka which began to ever so slowly grow in size as the baraki schemed the five TOA made plans of their own to escape with Holly using her mask of Kindred to mimic the hypnotic power of a deep sea Rahi tricking the animal guards outside the cave to disperse as the five TOA quietly made their escape They Came Upon some unique cordak blasters and Firearms designed for underwater destruction coming back up to Marin nuui Holly acted fast asking kongu to use a blask of air to push defac outside the air bubble and S ly saving him in a sphere of water stating that if they wanted to kill the matorin they had the power to do so Holly returned defac to safety and Inter earned the trust of the Maturin of Marin nuui swearing to protect the underwater city and reclaim the mask of Life the TOA were renamed the TOA Mari symbols of their duty to protect the city splitting up to cover more ground the TOA Mari headed to different sectors of the ocean to search for the mask of Life encountering their own trials along the way in a desperate battle that ended in stalemate Holly made a truce with mantax who was also searching for the mask on his own and the two agreed to temporarily help each other locate the mask and defend against the vicious sea creatures Jer and kongu confronted Kalma and carapar and were immediately engaged in a battle with energy sucking squids meanwhile nuparu and hooki were trapped in an undersea trench attacked by elex's Armory of eels and knocked on conscious during all this time takado dox's location was unknown while all this was happening Maturo remained in confinement in the remains of the pit prison alone with his thoughts as hydraxon Jailer of the pit went off to track down more Escape prisoners matur was left to be guarded by an automated maxos security robot but to his surprise the maxos robot began to speak and the voice behind it was darker deeper and one matoro recognized immediately for it was the voice of makuda pterodax himself in Chapter 2 we discussed the evolution of Mak and how they exist in an anti-der state which is fully gaseous and basically for all intents and purposes like a ghost every makuda in this form can possess the body of a robot without a mind to think of its own just like the automated maxo security robots here as well as influence the thoughts and perceptions of others around them this comes with a big downside though because if a makuda stays in the anti-der state for too long then they'll eventually dissipate eventually just killing the makuda themselves so they do have to find a host at some point in chapter 6 when axon smashed the anti- dermis vat makuda pterodax Spirit was released and eventually somehow he made it down to the Waters of Marin nuui and possessed this maxos robot as matoro claimed that pterodax would never win and the TOA would triumph over the makuda pterodax only laughed and in a single swing he freed matoro from his cell the reason pterodax was now on his side or so he claimed wary of pterodax but thankful for his Newfound Freedom Boro agreed to keep pterodax his identity a secret just as he had kept the secrets of taga nuju safe for years upon the island of moui as's Soul translator leaving the cell together pterodax instructed matoro to travel with him to Regions unknown and deeper parts of the ocean as matoro and pterodax traveled together the five remaining toam Mari continued their search for the mask Holly and mantax traveled together while Jers superheated the waters around him to force a truce between him kongu Kalma and carapar in this uneasy stalemate Jer proposed an alliance with the baraki promising to revert them back to their original Prime form should they retrieve the mask Kalma and carapar agreed with one condition prak would have to be killed as the two baraki already suspected him for knowing the truth about who betrayed them Yan AO and hiding it from them meanwhile hooki and nuparu came too blasting past Alex seals and heading for Marin to regroup in deeper darker Waters pterodax and matoro encountered hundreds of tea sharks remnants of prax vicious Army in a desperate battle pterodax refused to help matoro forcing the TOA to activate his mask of reanimation to resurrect the bodies of dead sharks to rip their living kin apart winning the battle but revolted at what he had to do to survive matoro continued onwards with terod who in turn was pleased at how quickly Maturo had used the immoral power of his mask as they Del to deeper echelons of the pit and places long forgotten pterodax led matoro to the corpse of a TOA of water none other than the insane serial killer toat tuet who had menaced the matorin of metroui in her quest for the newie stone centuries ago recap time in chapters 2 and three we met the dangerous toat tuya who lusted after the power of the newie stone the newie stone was a dangerous artifact that allows any being to absorb the powers of TOA in a wide radius essentially taking all their powers and graning them onto the wielder of the newie stone making them one of the most powerful beings in the universe toou yet actually possessed the stone back on metui thousands of years ago but after a series of murders that she framed on the dark Hunters to Leon and toiki eventually found out and confronted her during this confrontation the newie stone exploded and fragments of it were embedded in toat tuet chess right before she was captured by botar and taken to a mysterious location now the corpse on the ocean floor is presumably toat to yet or at least what appears to be her but there's a few more things going on here that not even makuda pterodax is aware of which probably won't even be covered in this chapter alone so as of right now just know that at least in terms of what everyone thinks this is the dead body of tatuya but is it though be sure to check in with the future chapters to find out exactly what's going on here TOA matoro and pterodax stood over the battered armor and mask of the long dead tuet threatening to kill matoro pterodax demanded he resurrect the body of tuet in the hopes that she could provide clues to regaining the new stone as matur was curious himself as to what pterodax plans entailed he agreed to resurrect the Lost TOA using the terrible power of His MK to bring a semblance of life back to Tat's corpse At His Feet the kohi mask and armor began to move slowly coming together what had been a pile of junk a moment before had now taken on a form of their pieces of armor were rising up through layers of mud struggling to rejoin the rest in a sickening and amazing Display of Power the body that once belonged to TOA tuet Rose from the floor of the pit and stood unsteadily waiting for commands and that was when matoro noticed something incredibly tiny almost microscopic pieces of Crystal embedded in the dead toa's armor these proclaimed pterodax were the fragments of the newwie stone and all he needed was the proper tool to recreate the stone as it once was pterodax boasted that the tool was the ancient staff of araka and the toaa were about to claim it for him interlude Scroll of preparations part one while all this conflict happened Beneath the Sea the toaa original Heroes of manui were on a wildly different quest of their own sent by axon to fulfill a scroll of preparations to awaken the great spirit manui once and for all the toan NOA set forth to fulfill this Duty and prepare for The Reawakening of manui first on the list was the task to awaken the Boro swarms in their proper purpose to cleanse the surface of the face of the robot and utterly demolish the island of manui despite some trepidation and resistance within their ranks onua finally made the decision to free the Barak queens and all around the former Island Refuge of manui the borak began to awake and achieve their Duty ravaging everything to the ground meanwhile in the darkness of the makuda lair the four leaders and Generals of the Brotherhood of makuda began preparations of their own telepathically contacted by pterodax to begin sending a full Strike Force to the heart of the robot cardui the Brotherhood of makuda began sending an army of makuda armed with Shadow leeches specialized Rahi designed to drain the light from any matorin and turn them into Servants of the makuda on the side pterodax ordered his top General makuda iarax to intercept the toan NOA and seize the powerful staff of araka as this was happening the toan NOA in turn ventured to retrieve the staff of araka the second item on their list to prepare for Maui's Awakening with the unique power to recreate any broken object the staff would be crucial in repairs to severely damage sectors of the robot learning it had been stolen by the dark Hunters long ago the TOA NOA confronted the shadowed one who made a deal with the TOA kill the treacherous Ruda who had betrayed the dark Hunters ages ago to serve pterodax and he would tell them where to find the staff and so the the toan NOA traveled to rak's home island of Zia where they were caught in the crossfire between two rampaging Titan Rahi the mysterious TT Rock of metroui who had been teleported across the lands in Adventures of its own and the ancient kohi dragon which had been transported to Zia ages ago by TOA Leon in the chaos they managed to capture raka and under threat of death forced her to reverse her mutations on the rahaga and so in a flash of energy and light six TOA of old stood tall and firm after years of their powers drained the toah haa had returned returning to the shouted one and promising him that raka was in the hands of the six TOA she had mutated long ago who would show her no mercy the TOA were then sent to the now abandoned realm of carani where they encountered makuda iarax who had seized the staff of araka first and defeated all six toan NOA in battle as ordered iarax headed straight for the black Waters of the pit to deliver the staff to pterodax with the toan NOA in Hot Pursuit part four Terror of karani back in the waters of the pit pterodax LED matoro and the Mindless reanimated body of tuet to a Rendevous point with iarax along the way they encountered Hol who was confused and horrified to see matoro leading the dead body of a mysterious TOA with him pterodax remained physically silent in the body of the maxos robot but telepathically threatened matoro should he waren Holly of Max's true identity he would kill them both knowing the Cuda meant his word matoro kept pterodax true identity a secret but also secretly warned Holly in a coded message that something was wrong and he was in serious trouble as the two-p parted ways Holly hurried to gather the other toari and help matoro at this point it's time to revisit some prior events and investigate what some other major players in the universe have been up to in chapter 1 we met the noble TOA leovic leader of the universe's first TOA team who tragically lost his entire team to a swarm of zlac in a fatal mistake guilt-ridden and denouncing his TOA status lvic returned to his village in sorrow prepared to lay down his TOA tools forever to his horror he discovered that in his time away the taga of the village had gone mad and banished the entire matorin population to the realm of karani where they would never be seen again among these were levik's old friends sarda a tomorin and Idris a gorin as fate would have it sarda and idas had been on voan nuui when Marin nuui sank beneath the waves and were the two maturan sent on the submarine Mission earlier this chapter since that point levic spent tens of thousands of years wandering the universe looking for his friends and trying to redeem himself on his journeys leovic met TOA Jovan fought the rahui defended an island from a group of vizak and explored unknown lands in the South his wanderings often took him as far north as karan's realm but he failed to get past the Manas guards protecting it and find his friends before they were sent to the southern continent following karan's departure from his homeland toaa now full-fledged member of the order of manui sought out lvic and told him that carani had allied with the zlac and was going to attack marinu that brings us to weeks ago where in the first maturan expedition to the black Waters defac submarine was ripped apart and the tomator and sarda was presumed dead but just as sarda was about to be ripped apart by tea sharks levik ared just in time fetting them off and saving his old friend but there was no time for a reunion for they had spotted the Mad Titan carani now mutated beyond recognition By the Waters of the pit searching for the mask of Life on his own quest in a brief battle karani trapped sarda in a horrific Vision mutating lvic into a water breather as well as karani fled lvic and sarda met up with their old friend Idris and the trio vowed to destroy the Mad Tyrant once and for all and stop him from gaining the power of the mask of life as carani ventured deeper into the ocean He Came Upon pterodax matoro and the reanimated to yet in a heated battle pterodax seized control of half of karan's Manas crab Army causing the powerful Rahi to rip each other to shreds enraged at karan's attempts to trick him with visions of Doom pterodax lashed out at the Titan in a devastating mental blast ripping karan's mind to shreds and sending him into the depths of the ocean following karan's tumbling body leic sarda and Idris devised a trap to ens snare the wounded Titan once and for all as pterodax matoro and zombie Tu yet left the battle and continued onwards the trio of TOA and murin engaged the still wounded carani in combat and after a brief but intense fight karani was temporarily defeated and in a flash of energy and blinding light the omnipotent botar materialized before the four combatants seizing carani and taking him away to places unknown his fight finally over and his honor redeemed lvic left Marin nuui accompanied by His companion sarda ready for more Adventures ahead meanwhile at the edge of the pit iarax arrived to deliver the staff of araka to pterodax who dismissed him and attempted to use the staff to recreate the fragmented newie Stone from tet's armor acting fast matur rushed at pterodax to prevent him from Gaining the ultimate power of the stone but was too late just as pterodax was about to recreate the newie stone brutaka appeared out of nowhere revealing he had been following the makuda for weeks and seized the staff of araka over his many weeks in the pit brutaka had been given time to reflect and Ponder on his actions and the Betrayal of his closest friend axon and came to the realization that his greed would lead him nowhere overwhelmed with immense guilt brutaka summoned botar and gave him the staff of araka for safekeeping overcoming his personal greed and lust for power and taking the first step on his long journey back to the light telling matoro to get back to his friends brutaka prepared to hold off pterodax for as long as he could buying matoro time to escape as he battled with the dark lord in the chaos as matoro fled the reanimated body of what appeared to be tuet crumpled to the ground and in the Ferocious attack the two Titans were forced into a stalemate to buy himself some time to recover brutaka told pterodax that the mask of life was in the hands of the brainless brute nocturn and was right for the taking forced to break off the engagement by this news pterodax left and warn brutaka that their fight was not over and so the Final Countdown was about to begin seeping Life Energy and leaking cosmic rays the mask of life began to curse all around it with its current Bearer nocturn none the wiser the resurrected hydraxon continued his patrols around the pit nocturn in his sights as one of the most notorious Escape prisoners matoro had reconvened with the toari who had formed an uneasy truce with some members of the baraki While others like the treacherous takadox and their leader prac were nowhere to be found the robotic maxos robot possessed by the spirit of makuda pterodax was on a direct course to the mask of Life which in turn was slowly succumbing to its sustained damage time was about to run out for the universe and in these final moments everything was about to change part five final moments as nocturn held the kohi ignika mask of life he gloated at the terrible curse it granted him suffocating all life where he walked just then hydraxon was the first to encounter him and in a quick fight nocturn was soundly defeated as hydraxon stared at the mask of Life small pieces of memories began to flash before him the original memories of the pator and diar whose dying will was to destroy the mask of Life which he deemed too dangerous to be kept intact with this small part of dear's Consciousness fueling his actions hydraxon prepared to fire upon the ignika and destroy it once and for all but his blast was knocked off course by toah Hal who had arrived first with mantax to protect the mask of life in the explosion the ignika fell in possession of mantax who was cursed to drain the energies of all around him and strengthen mantax in the process reveling in his Newfound power mantax broke off his shaky alliance with Holly and left with a mask in hand hydraxon hot on his tail and finally reunited at last the six toari assembled to assess the situation and plan their next steps matoro warned the other toari that the cord of cooled protodermis connecting voan nuui to marui must be destroyed for manui to be revived which would allow vui to sink back down to rest in place on the surface of the robot this destruction would immediately kill all Maturin living on vui and in Marin nuui so the toari hurried to get them to safety as their first priority all right so I just want to interject here with a quick bit of geography that is a little bit confusing to a lot of fans myself included when it first came out so I'm going to try to boil this down in the simplest possible terms so this is the great spirit modui robot so you've got the head here you've got some sort of a body with a chest plate and whatnot and it continues from there so of course this was basically the standard configuration and as I've said many times throughout many videos the heart of the robot was cardui so we've got right in here the heart of the robot knen this this is essentially what serves as the power source for the entire robot above the sphere of cardui was a place called The Southern continent and this is essentially just a piece of armor that is inside the robot that Maturin were living on to perform maintenance during the Great cataclysm a portion of the Southern continent broke off and rocketed upward so it burst a hole from the southern continent right here so now there's a hole directly to cardui it broke through the chest plate of the first outer shell of the robot and skyrocketed upwards to the surface of the Waters of Aqua Magna so essentially this is the island of voan Nui it was once part of the Southern continent but now it's essentially broken off and become its own thing so of course that means that the Waters of aquam Magna particularly the mutagenic waters are now starting to seep inwards into cardui through the hole it created causing a great waterfall to be formed in a essentially filling up the base of cardui with a swamp but that's not really relevant for right now what is relevant though is that during a freak accident several thousand years later the Coastal Village of Marin nuui which was on voi sank down back beneath the ocean and rested somewhere near the cardi hole spot right here so we've got Marin Nei underwater part of voi above water and then of course on top of voi we have Mount valine the secret hiding place for the mask of life So eventually when Mountain valma erupted you've got a ton of molten protodermis cascading down the island this molten protodermis went down the side of vui and connected itself to Marin nuui underwater forming this cord that eventually got cooled over time because of course it was molten protodermis trickling into the water and that's what this whole cord thing is to kind of expand out from here you've got the whole island of Marin Nei here this cooled molten protodermis cord that's essentially a spike that's anchoring vui the larger Island in place so essentially what the toari need to do is if they want to repair the great spirit robot right they've got to repair and plug the holes in the exterior wall as well as the hole above cardi and in doing so they got to somehow get voi back down and they realized they way to do this so actually makuda pterodax explained part of this to matoro and matoro was sharing it with the others but what they had to do is essentially just destroy the cord here if you blow up the cord then voi will come crashing back down to the original Spot It was supposed to be but of course this is pretty catastrophic and it will destroy all life on the island of vui as well as completely destroy marii in the process so obviously they have to do some sort of evacuation first but if the TOA succeed then voan nuui Rockets back down let's uh get rid of this extra stuff here would destroy Marin Nei plugging back the hole and voi would have been no longer on the surface of the water and now you've got the hole completely plugged in to cardui which is stopping this great waterfall from flowing inwards and essentially repairing this large exterior damage to the robot itself so that's essentially what the goal is of the toari to do the other thing that I do need to mention is that don't forget the paraka from last chapter are actually still hunting after the mask of life and these paraka have been tailing the toari along their Journey so we'll be seeing them pop up very soon and one final thing in order to actually resurrect the great spirit robot someone needs to actually bring the mask of life into card Andi because that is the heart of the robot they have to somehow get past through the hole while vo anui is plummeting down to Kickstart the heart of the robot once again in the process of it falling down and voi returning back into place so if you wanted revive or at least prevent manui from dying you got to get into cardui with the mascal life first so that's essentially where the stage is set and we can get back to the story now in these Final hours the toam Mari made preparations to save both the matorin of voi and marui leading both to underground Chambers with the help of axon protector of the Maturin of voi the TOA temporarily hous the population of both cities in these safe tunnels to prepare for The Descent of voan nuui during this migration the toari were ambushed by The paraka Who had been mutated into reptilian snakes zachan took some maturan hostage as the other paraka swarmed around the TOA in a brutal Ambush just then axon came to the rescue charging in to defend the murin and managing to capture the paraka under the watchful eyes of the order of manui with the brief battle behind them the toari prepared for their descent back into the deep housed in an organic half beast half machine the toam mari's armor and weapons were repaired as a powerful transport blasted through the waters to carry them into battle and as the TOA emerged from their transport they were immediately attacked by the armies of some of the baraki who in turn were chasing after mantax for the mask of Life arriving on the scene of the battle were freaks of nature transformed by The Mask like gadunka the microscopic Plankton now enlarged a massive stature and fuel by a drive to consume as Holly nuparu hooki and kongu engaged the sea monsters Jer and matoro rushed after mantax to CL the mask of Life ambushing the baraki with his powers of fire Galler separated mantax from the mask only for it to fall back into the hands of hydraxon who once again prepared to destroy the mask of life just then the maxos robot appeared on the scene finally revealing his true identity as the Puppet Master dark lord makuda pterodax to all who stood before him defeating hydraxon in a duel and leaving the mask on the sea Flor pterodax only stood by as matoro sees the mask of life making no attempts to stop matoro and stating that he had his own reasons for the TOA to succeed and that he had not lied in the beginning when he claimed he was an ally to matoro elsewhere the baraki met at the Razer whales teeth where mantax revealed that they had been betrayed by one of their own thousands of years ago before he could reveal the traitor through a tablet he found on the ocean floor explosions from a fight between Max elos and hydraxon who now knew pterodax is true identity caused an avalanche takadox exposed him himself as a traitor by stealing the tablet and trying to kill mantax but the other baraki did not kill him instead opting to keep him around just as long until they recovered the mask of Life immediately afterwards they were confronted by maxos who revealed himself as the reason behind their imprisonment years ago makuda pterodax after a brief battle that left five of the baraki seemingly unconscious takadox presented the ancient tablet of transit to pterodax which had been carved centuries ago as proof of his loyalty to the Brotherhood takadox hoped to be spared and offered to betray his fellow Warlords once again but instead pterodax cast him into a horrific vision of his sea insects turning on him and left him to suffer alone while he was distracted the baraki who had faked their unconsciousness gathered their armies they ordered them to attack the maxilos robot damaging it Beyond repair and departing with their armies intent on acquiring the ignika again hydraxon then found the damag maxos but noticed that it no longer held any sign of makuda teror who had once possessed it but now had mysteriously transferred to another unknown host the toari once again reunited with the ignika fired their blasters at the cord and destroyed it sending voan nuui plummeting to the depths where it smashed marui to pieces and sank ever deeper towards its original location on the robot pulled along in its wake the mask of life was tossed into the current with the toari and baraki in Hot Pursuit catching up with the mask matoro seized it to make a beine for The Gap to to cardui to restart the heart of the robot but as he swam the color slowly faded away from the mask and all around it felt its life force weaken and die matoro had been too late and the great spirit manui was dead refusing to let their Journey end that way matoro still continued on his path to cardui desperately fighting to save the universe to buy him time jaler and the rest of the toari made a final stand against the armies of the baraki and their vicious attacks fully prepared to sacrifice themselves for matoro as vui continued its Ascent matoro managed to catch up slipping through the holes in the cardui dome and plummeting down a vast waterfall in the heart of the robot just before the voan nuui armor plate slammed into place as the toari fought a losing battle against the baraki and their armies Galer realized he would have to make the ultimate sacrifice perform a Nova blast an extreme ability that would prove fatal to all around the vicinity of the explosion the Nova blast is the ultimate expression of at toa's elemental power that would kill all six baraki their armies but also the remaining toari with him despite the protest of his teammates jaller prepared this suicide detonation superheating the water around him and radiating with fire and light meanwhile as he fell matoro felt a strange sense of peace and purpose slowly Dawning the kohi ignika mask of life matoro was overwhelmed with information viewing the entire history of the mask and learning how to activate its sacred power to restart the heart of the universe and so as the consciousness of the Mask merged with his mind and Muro fell through the heart of the robot he prepared to commit the ultimate sacrifice using The Last Remnant of his individuality matoro used the power of the ignika to teleport the toam Mari safely back home to metru Nui reversing their mutations and allowing them to breathe air once again and in his final moments matoro felt no fear he knew his friends the toari had succeeded and they could resume their lives in metroui the taga and murin across the city would know his friends as true heroes but matoro he never considered himself a hero as Muran translator to nuju as Noble TOA Ena and as TOA Mari all he ever tried to do was his duty and now that Duty had led him to his Destiny since the day the mask of life chose him as its bearer all roads led to this moment maturo's energy mingled and merged with that of the mask only to be released in an incredible explosion of light and power and life that surged through the great spirit in that instant matoro TOA of ice Keeper Of Secrets and hero truly died so that manui can live again no one could explain the wonderful feeling that swept Across the Universe but all knew the reason for it back safely on land in metroui Jer deactivated his Nova blast charge and the five remaining toari sat in silence remembering their comrade and friend in a grand ceremony to honor matoro the population of metui celebrated his life and sacrifice bathed in the warm glow of Maui's light the toam mari's fight was over and all their trials had led to this moment epilog Scroll of preparations part two while the death of the great spirit manui had been prevented the Quest for the toaa was far from over and while manui had been saved from Death he was still in tuned in a great Slumber the Nova's Duty still remained revive the great spirit manui and restore him from this Slumber and so while they had failed to recover the staff of araka the toan NOA continued on their quest to fulfill the scroll of preparation tahu and kopaka went to Ida to quell a series of active volcanoes while onua and pohatu journeyed to obtain an artifact known as the heart of the vizer controlling the vizak hordes to gather an arax wiping the scourge of the insectoid spiders off the face of the universe once and for all with the vizer extinct meanwhile Lea ventured to what remained of manui to find a sundal ordered by a strange and mysterious telepathic voice inside his head go also went to manui to Mark the a of the red star while doing so she activated her kenoia Kaku and discovered that to her shock there was movement within the mysterious satellite and potential living beings trapped deep in space as she hurriedly went to find the other toan NOA she was transported by botar to daxia where the toan NOA were reunited there botar gave them the staff of araka which was used to repair the Damage Done in the great cataclysm as the final item on their Scroll of preparations with their List complete the toan NOA were ordered to gather in the mysterious realm of araka where their next mission was about to commence in an epic final battle in the heart of the robot carda NE previously on Bionicle retold chapter 7 the ignition Trilogy part two sacrifice in a deadly countdown to the death of the Maturin Universe the kohi ignika mask of Life spiral deep beneath the black Waters of the pit forever changing the course of Destiny for the maturan dwelling in the underwater city of Marin nuui hunted by the exiled baraki Warlords and encountering Ancient Hunters brought back to life the TOA Mari led by Jala and matoro fought bravely beneath the waves as they struggled to bring manui back to life they were unexpectedly aided by the dark lord makuda pterodax who pulled the strings of their success for his own mysterious reasons and finally in a tragic sacrifice to save the life of the great spirit robot matoro dawned the mask of Life Giving his own life to save the universe and in Far Away lands the toan NOA original team of Heroes sought to fulfill the scroll of preparations an ancient document detailing a list of tasks to prepare for mani's Revival along their Journeys they restored the rahaga to their rightful forms resurrecting the powerful toah haa and ultimately gathered in araka to face their final Destiny this is Bionicle retold chapter 8 the ignition Trilogy part three Rising part one Siege of cardi in the darkness of the Brotherhood of makuta's Lair factories churned and dark experiments on Kat worms brought vile Shadow leeches to life parasitic insects capable of draining all light and morality from TOA or matorin after delivering the staff of araka to pterodax within the pit makuda ikra returned to their fortress on Destro eager to test his new Shadow leeches calling for his murant servant voltr the Twisted Tom matorin with an ancient rivalry with Mazika I drained what little light was left in the devious tomat torin's heart completing his first successful test of the insectoid creatures during his missions for the Brotherhood vraz discovered a secret entrance to cardui the heart of the murin universe and reported his findings to the assembled makuda still deep in the waters of the pit in his maxilos form makuda pterodax telepathically received the news and ordered all available makuda to venture into the core of the universe and seize the land for the Brotherhood and so the gates of the brotherhood's destral Fortress swung open with an army of makuda sweeping forth headed straight for koui the heart of the robot leading to strike force was the aggressive yet honorable makuda antros general of the brotherhood's armies and tactical commander of their Legions wielding the kenoi Jutland mask of corruption anr possessed the unique ability to break down any inorganic object with a single thought close behind him was the incredibly ambitious makuda bid who followed pterodax only to gain more influence and prove his worth ble wore the kohi mrek mask of time duplication which allowed him to summon past versions of himself to fight as his own personal Legion aiding them was a fanatical gorast a True Believer of tera's plan who was willing to face death to see it carried through with the kohi fness mask of disruption gorast had the incredible dangerous ability to disrupt any natural powers of an enemy via touch which she could use to interfere with the tow was innate Elemental abilities assisting them from above was makuda vampa the mute Hunter who never spoke a single word using his kohi Ava mask of hunger to drain positive emotions from his Target in addition to the Warriors two top Brotherhood scientists were brought along to assist their research and creation of new Rahi the first of these scientists was makuda chiro Infamous for creating vicious and destructive Rahi his rival was makuda mutron an eccentric nearly insane scientist who specialized in mutations that were extremely destructive in nature both scientists swore copies of the kohi shelik which allowed them to deafen or mute targets neither scientist had respect for the others mutations driving a professional and personal rivalry between the two and finally there was K The Reluctant and regretful makuda who believed that nothing good would come out of pterodax his grand plan if it succeeded but supported him out of fear and self-preservation Kaa wore the kohi craft mask of repulsion which allowed him to repel any object away from himself at high speeds including the ground itself which he used to fly through the air and as the hordes of makuda rushed to cardui with their Shadow leeches seeking to turn the entire Maturin population to Darkness iar stayed behind tired of following pterodax his orders and believing the attack on cardui to be a suicide mission okay so I just introduced or at least reintroduced many characters that really haven't gotten a lot of focus until this particular chapter so I wanted to take this time to really address which of these are really important to follow throughout the course of this chapter and which ones you can kind of just see as background enemies or background makuda so first off is makuda K so Kaa is really the closest thing we have to a quote unquote good makuda again as I mentioned he's very reluctant to follow pterodax his plan and actually he was the makuda to three secretly makuda miserix he spared miser's life who was the original ruler of the makuda thousands of years ago so kka has already kind of revolted against pterodax in his own ways and what's really important is that makuda miserix who was the original leader of the Brotherhood of makuda will actually be reappearing this chapter making some major moves so just remember that in the past he was kind of thrown out by pterodax overthrown as the ruler but Crea spared his life and instead took him to a deserted island instead of killing him so Miser will be coming back in a bit with those folks aside basically what we have next is is makuda antros here honestly anos is just the leader of the army but really he doesn't have that much to do character development wise he basically just stays steadfast as a strong leader for the makuda so he's the main guy you'll see in many of the fight sequences and many of the aspects where he's leading the makuda into battle in cardui but his character doesn't really do too too much the same goes for vampa over here because vampa is literally mute vampa does not speak whatsoever there's not a lot of character stuff going on here so you can really just see vampa as another one of the makuda enemies next up really the only thing you need to remember about makuda chirox here is that she's very very devoted to makuda pterodax is plan she's willing to risk anything to make it happen so just remember that about her character and she really doesn't ever change she's just very much a fanatic for makuda pterodax makuda bidd here is basically just another enemy not really much to do character development wise but just some other enemy for them to fight and The two scientists that we've got here are really only important during these scientist scenes they actually have a really fun interpersonal dynamic between them because they're very much Rivals not really respecting each other's work and there are many scenes set within their Laboratories so when they appear they're relevant but again not too much character-wise going on you just have to know that these are the two scientists creating stuff for the makuda and that's why they've been brought alongside for the ride now makuda iarax here actually as I mentioned sits out most of the action at least for the first half of this chapter he becomes very very important in the later halves of this chapter where he actually kind of joins the fry and starts to embark on his own personal missions that deviate from pterodax his main plans but for the most part you're not going to be seeing ixs for a lot of the early parts of the initial cardi Invasion so you can kind of just set him aside for now and just remember that iar chose not to go to cardui because he basically believed pterodax is plan to be crazy and speaking of pterodax himself we last saw him in the maxos form in the Marin Nei chapter which was last chapter and pterodax basically just will not appear throughout this entire chapter until the very end because he's been setting a lot of stuff up on his own very mysterious things going on with pterodax so there's kind of a big reveal near the end of the chapter I'm not going to spoil it here but that's why you're not actually going to see him for basically all this chapter because pterodax is really the guy pulling the strings behind all of these makuda he's the one who mysteriously sent all of the makuda to cardui he wanted to make sure they were all there so there's something he's planning and you're going to find out in a little bit and finally the last thing I wanted to mention is the Muran VZ here if you recall back to chapters one and two volz was one of the most evil tomorin he murdered a ton of people and essentially murdered the mentor of the matorin Mesa so Mesa or Mesa has this very strong rivalry with voltr and presumed him dead so when Mesa thought he killed him voltr actually was recruited by the Brotherhood of makuda to be a matoran spy for the makuda and at this point in the story he's basically just serving iarax and he will actually crop up quite a lot however voltr and Mesa kind of have their own story that's completely tangential to card new it's still pretty important but it's not really too related to the main events so only try to remember them or remember that they're relevant for their own particular parts of the story they actually go explore some alternate Dimensions things get really crazy doesn't really matter for the main cardi plotline though and with all those makuda summed up it's time to get back to the main story in a swift attack Darkness descended upon cardui the seven makuda blasted through the secret entrance to cardui taking the amorin population by surprise and converting each Village one by one to Darkness with their Shadow leeches the makuda strike force split up one half led by anos to infect the villages with the other half led by Kaa to descend into the swamps at the bottom of cardui blocking off any Escape Routes in this decisive attack all aorin villages succumbed to Darkness save for one and just as the final Village was about to be destroyed a colossal rumbling shook the stalactite Villages of cardui the TOA Mari had just succeeded in their quest to restore vui plugging the hole in Cardi's Dome and in the distance matoro fell along the great waterfall completing his Noble sacrifice and restarting the heart of cardui as matoro dawned the mask of life and a flash of incredible light engulfed the surroundings the three makuda who had been laying Siege to the final Village were struck with this Outburst of light permanently blinding them disoriented and enraged an vamp and chirox faltered in their attack allowing three aorin from the final Village TMA soak and photo to strike back quickly trying to gain the upper hand with their customized jetpacks and Blades of light as the battle continued the three blinded makuda called for their newly turn Shadow Maturin to merge with them acting as their eyes via telepathy as the battle for the final kenui Village raged on the six toan NOA were granted the honor to set foot in the realm of araka having completed the scroll of prepar ations to prepare the universe for Maui's Awakening the Six Original TOA were greeted by the mysterious araka who had opened the gates of his foress for the first time in Millennia to welcome in the TOA all around them an indescribably ancient yet young voice rang out from The Fortress the Rocks the trees and even the air itself as tahoo listed off the completed task from The Scroll of preparations araka was pleased materializing from the very air in front of them were sets of strange armor weapons and masks these were the Adaptive armor pieces art taka's greatest Creations wherever the TOA should Journey the armor would adapt to their surroundings no terrain no climate no wind or wave would ever again be their master and as the toan NOA dawned their new gear their surroundings began to morph Before Their Eyes teleporting the six Heroes to the world that feeds the world the heart of the murin universe cardan neui when their Vision finally cleared they were in midair high above a strange matoran Village somehow their armor had shifted in aund ways making it possible for them to stay aoft but there is no time to wonder about that for all around them a battle raged in the Sky Go toaa the voice of araka echoed throughout this new land go and find your destiny at last and so in a blinding flash of light the six toaa appeared on the scene tahu TOA of fire now sprouted quadruple jetpacks and a blazing Shield of fire golly TOA of water utilized a high-powered scoped rifle complete with aerodynamic fins on her mask to soar through the sky Lewa TOA of air was truly in his element soaring above the ground with dual jetpacks and an energy sword kopaka TOA of ice now sported metallic wings and a laser scope on his adaptive akaku pohatu TOA of stone had his armor morphed to an orange color with dual propeller claws to keep him afloat andona TOA of Earth used ankle mounted propulsion engines in conjunction with a blaster Shield combo as the six TOA engaged the three blind makuda they quickly realized that the makuda could only see through the eyes of their Shadow matorin targeting the corrupted former a matorin the TOA temporarily drove back the three makuda giving them a chance to meet up with TMA and the other a matorin to discuss the situation as poat to examine their surroundings memories flashed before his mind and he soon realized that not only had the TOA bid to cardui before but it was the source of their original Power quickly catching up on recent events the six TOA realized that matoro had sacrificed himself to save the universe and the kohi ignika mask of Life had fallen somewhere in the swamps at the base of cardui eventually the team decided to split up one half of the team consisting of tahu G and onua would fly down to the swamps to search for the kohi ignika while kopaka's team of himself pohatu and Lewa stayed to fight an's makuda strike force and so as the toan NOA split up under separate missions the final battle for the matorin universe was upon us and the stage was set for the Ultimate Clash between TOA and makuda part two elsewhere in the universe while the TOA NOA fought bravely in kenui other TOA teams throughout the Universe were pursuing their own vital Destiny to awaken manui the toam Mari led by Jer were sworn in as the official Guardians of metroui and were immediately thrust into action to defend the city from the rampaging cardas Dragon which had left voi after being separated from vzon and had been drawn to the Grand City of Legends meanwhile the toah haa recently restored from their rahaga forms and back in the action had turned over the devious Ruda into the custody of the order of manui and were given a new task find and destroy the elusive makuda pterodax who had last been seen in robotic maxilos form but whose spirit was nowhere to be found to Aid them in their task the order of manui delivered the paraka zachan to their custody who had a special telepathic link to pterodax due to his prolonged anti- dermis exposure during the events of the voan Nei Saga as the haaga received their mission gaki was struck with a terrifying vision from her mask of Clair Voyage which showed the hagga journeying to a place of death and that one among them would never return during this time the order of manui dispatched many of its most powerful agents elsewhere in the Universe dealing with Trials of their own after brutaka had overcome his personal Temptation and surrendered the staff of araka to botar in the pit the order of manui rescued him fitting him with a breathing helmet to survive on land again and declaring him a probationary member of the order brutaka first mission brought him to the city of metroui where he was accompanied by toah helrick leader of the order and crua TOA of Sonic who had finally passed his trials to become a full member of the order in metroui this order of manui Strike Team recovered the ancient Su dial of manui which toala had left in the archives according to a telepathic voice in his head sent secretly by the order during their time achieving The Scroll of preparations using a Koka disc of shrinking brutaka miniaturized the Sundi placing it in the care of TOA krua elsewhere botar and truma another member of the order were on a secret Supply run to the weapons manufacturing island of Zia to prepare for baca's next mission unbeknown to the pair of order agents but makuda iarax pursuing his own goals had also been lurking on the island of Zia and in a surprise attack he ambushed botar and truma using his magnetic power to crush Boar's armor killing one of the most powerful members of the order barely escaping with his life truma managed to store the weapons elsewhere and hurried to report the tragic loss to helx managing to seize pterodax old Mask of Shadows makuda iarax returned to the Brotherhood Fortress crowning himself as a deao leader of the Brotherhood in pterodax absence back on metroui takua TOA of light patrolled the streets defeating vicious camps of frost Hillis Rahi that prayed on the murin and serving as guardian of the city of Legends alongside the TOA Mari just then makuda iarax descended upon the city with a sole Target in mind TOA takua as iar deployed his shadow leeches takova was struck by surprise and to his horror the leech began to suck the light from him draining the gold from his armor and filling his mind with dark thoughts in the final moments of this agonizing struggle takua managed to blast the leech with a thin ray of light just before he succumbed to unconsciousness collapsing on the ground pleased with this display karak swiftly departed metui without alerting the toari hoping he had permanently turned takua to the dark dimensional interlude one Trials of takua when he awoke takua found himself deep beneath the archives and realized that as a result of his light being partially drained he now wielded control of both Shadow and light just then TOA helrick leader of the order of manui and TOA crua of Sonics approached him using the mental powers of a specialized cetana Rahi helrick cast takova in a vision of the past the toe of light watched as memories flashed before his eyes showcasing the toam ma training in cardui and being sent to Slumber the Visions delve deeper into the past showing the construction of the great spirit robot himself and how the Maui AI Consciousness took over from The Entity trenro Awakening the heart of cardui and filling the entire land with lethal energy storms as takua awoke from his vision helrick and crua informed him that if the toan NOA succeeded in Awakening manui these devastating energy storms that powered the heart of the robot would be Unleashed once more destroying everything in their path except for the spherical codr structure within the swamps hrex then task takua with a vital mission to warn the tanova to take refuge within the kodre should they succeed and Aid them in their battle against the makuda as a recap of chapter 1 Beginnings the codr was a mysterious metal sphere housed within cardui which is the heart of the great spirit robot inside this metal sphere were six giant light Stones which were designed to be fueled by the powers of the six toada if they fueled their Elemental energies in into these light Stones they could essentially use these to shock the heart of the great spirit Maui Reawakening him should he ever fall into Slumber think of it as a giant defibrillator for the massive Maui robot now of course as soon as you wake him up the massive energy storms inside his heart would consume any living being within cardui killing them instantly because it's essentially a massive factory of energy deep within there as takua agreed to follow hel rx's plan brutaka emerged from from the Shadows introducing himself as a member of the order of manui having heard tales of the once greedy Fallen Warrior takova was suspicious of the Titan but was forced to let brutaka assist him with the power of his kohi olac mask of dimensional Gates crua then handed takua the shrunken great Sundial of manui explaining that the great beings themselves had forged the Sundial for a singular purpose to locate the kodri in cardui and so brutaka activated the power of His ma ripping open an interdimensional Gateway as takua prepared for his journey through the Inner Space Between Dimensions to teleport to cardui brutaka struggled to gain control over his mask which had been severely damaged in the pressurized Waters beneath the pit as takaa rocketed through space and time he viewed glimpses of other worlds beyond space and time pushed through countless alternate timelines by the power of the damaged omac for every decision made in the core Universe an alternate timeline sprung up where a different outcome occurred and the possibilities of this infinite Multiverse were endless branches of energy rippled through the timeline and takua found himself thrust from our main timeline kening into a pocket Dimension when he came to he found himself surrounded in a forest of black trees and dying grass within this strange parallel universe He Came Upon a majestic city of silver rising from the barren Wasteland within the city he encountered a breed of biomechanical beings known as castora and over his time spent in this Silver City he found the castora to be devious unfeeling beings and encountered the spectral mask where after many trials and battles takova earned the respect of this mysterious being which opened up a new dimensional Gateway for him on his long journey back to our core Universe dimensional interlude 2 the kingdom of matui enter the kingdom universe as matoro rushed to save the life of the great spirit manui he altered for just a moment failing to reach cardian time and dooming the entire universe to Darkness and death in this alternate version of our main World In His failure matoro was disgraced and all in the Muran Universe shunned him naming him the disgraced one and forcing him into life in solitude in a tiny Hut to himself as the maturan universe collapsed and fell into disarray a mass migration of all species fled in panic from the dying Universe seeking refuge on the island of mod II it was in this time of chaos that the order of manui Finally Revealed themselves teaming with takua to beat back the Brotherhood of makuda and stopped them from escaping in the narrow tunnels to manui hooki and Batu were tragically killed by rampaging rocki and jaler tahu and kopaka were too late to save them to force the makuda in takova erected great barriers of light to instantly destroy any beings of Shadow and in this Final Act of power takova of this universe used his remaining light energy to create a team of six TOA from the voan Nui resistance team plus TMA transforming into a taga in the process in this act of sacrifice taga takua established the kingdom of the great spirit where all previously Waring species worked together in harmony to survive he then named toah helx tagad Duma Ruda the shadowed one the Scotti warlord nectan and a NRA ghost weapons manufacturer as members of this ruling Council the dark Hunters became his new law enforcers and the TOA assisted in keeping the island of manui together as well as creating new land to expand this glorious Kingdom 10,000 years after the establishment of the Kingdom the takova of our Prime reality found himself careening through interdimensional gateways finally Landing in a blast of energy and light on the shores of this Kingdom of manui Landing a meeting with his alternate taga self takova was tasked with a new Quest recent attacks on the kingdom had increased in ferocity and somehow the rocki commanded by makuda pterodax were slipping past the barriers of light taga takova then promised to help TOA takova return to our Prime Universe should he assist the kingdom in their defense against the beings of Shadow and so takua was armed with a power Lance and maidak Sky Blaster Cannon teaming with tanma now TOA of light before embarking on their mission TOA takua insisted on visiting matoro first convincing the disgraced TOA of ice to accomp them as a chance to be seen as a hero again and so the trio set forth to the abandoned POI Boro tunnels encountering swats of modified rocki sporting Shadow Armor which allowed them to pass through the barriers after a long fight with the rocki the three TOA watched as a monstrous Behemoth emerged from the darkness this was makuda pterodax he had driven makuda iarax from his armor and possessed it and went on to absorb all other makuda in his essence as takua TMA and matoro engaged this monstrous opponent toat Tana was disintegrated completely but not before he and takova were able to knock the Mask of Shadows off pterodax his face and destroy it in a last ditch attempt makuda pterodax created a shadow hand to absorb matoro into his Essence and while takova attempted to stop this matoro willingly let himself be absorbed overpowering the will of pterodax from within and sacrificing himself to destroy the makuda returning to the surface of alone takova told the populace of the Brave sacrifices of matoro and tanma staying just long enough to see a statue made in honor of matoro until asking the alternate brutaka of this universe to use his olac ripping open yet another dimensional gate for takova to travel to destinations unknown and get closer to our Prime Universe part three rise of the ignika back in cardui the toan noa's battle against the Brotherhood of makuda raged on as tahu onua and G Dove down into the Mist filled swamps of cardui kopaka pohatu and Lewa had a chance to talk more with the Maturin of cardui learning of their past while defending the Village from attack in a brief moment between battle soec the murin of light told the TOA of the mysterious fragmented Keystone a device that according to Legend had an important role to play in Awakening manui giving kopaka his piece of the Keystone soak explained that there were five other hidden Keystone pieces scattered AC cross card anui and the toan NOA would need to collect them to awaken the great spirit meanwhile Lewa and Tenma managed to Ambush and capture a flying Shadow Maturin who turned out to be KIRO the former leader of the a matoran village after taho's team arrived in the swamp they decided to split up in order to cover more ground in their search for the kohi ignika while searching tahu discovered the massive spherical codr hurled backwards by the sphere's powerful energy field as tahoo crashed into the swamp he was discovered by makuda Crea who now sported a monstrous insectoid appearance due to his exposure to the pit mutagen in the swamp as Crea approached the Fallen toea of fire he began to explain his personal philosophy and motivations all while using the power of His Mass to drain the heat around tahu desperate for help tahu then used his remaining power and launched a fireball into the air as a signal to his teammates meanwhile deep within the makuda shadow Leach Hive which had been erected on the ceiling of the C Dome mutron and Shiro The two makuda scientists were hard at work creating a monstrous raahi Beast by order of antros as they bickered over the qualities of the Beast chro summoned a shadow maturan to him throwing the helpless servant into the vat and creating a foul and gruesome Rahi arriving at the cave anro explained his plan the arrival of the toan NOA had foiled their plans to convert all the cardui matorin to their side and in order to win the battle they would need to call on makuda karat self- reclaimed leader of the Brotherhood to turn the tide wey of underestimating their opponents anr sent the Rahi Abomination out to distract the TOA long enough for mutron personal assistant a shadow Mur named vican to split past the TOA and summon aurx back in the swamps of koui onua fended off wild Nui copen Rahi searching for the mask of life just then he was ambushed by makuda bidd who used his time duplication Mass to surround onua with an army of his past elv Thinking Fast onua engaged in battle and as his adaptive armor shifted to mirror a strange Blaster bidle was wielding onua struck bidd with a sphere of energy sending him plummeting to the swamps below and as onua fought bidd goali was attacked by makuda goras in another part of the swamp but not before claiming another Keystone for the tanova as Gora struck G with her light draining Stinger taho's emergency fire blast Rose in the distance and as G struggled to get free onua arrived on the scene with goly saved from goras the makuda temporarily defeated goly and onua rocketed off to save tahu and reunite with their team leader while the tanova searched for the keystones in the ignika the mask of life itself was sitting deep beneath the Waters of cardui swamp reaching out with its Life Energy the Consciousness within the mask of Life drew the particles drifting through the swamp water to build itself a body inspired by maturo's sacrifice the agnika wished to experience life and serve as a hero like matoro and the rest of the TOA Mari and as this new being generated a skyboard he flew out of the water sensing the toaa up above hoping to establish the first friendships of his life and with that the most powerful TOA in the history of the Maturin Universe was born TOA ignika sporting the consciousness of the mask of life itself interlude the Federation of fear as takua hurdled through the Multiverse and the TOA manua faced trials and danger in cardui the order of manui was occupied with a singular task find and kill makuda terod and so the order tasked their probationary member brutaka to assemble a team of outcasts Rejects and criminals to find and free the former leader of the Brotherhood of makuda makuda Miser who pterodax had overthrown centuries ago and was secretly saved from Death by makuda Crea and so after preparations were made and an odd assortment of beings were assembled brutaka approached a prison cell holding five criminals captured by the order of manui as the prisoners awoken a days brutaka approached to explain their mission stating that there were two and only two ways they would ever be allowed to leave their cell either by carrying out a mission for some friends of his or by being promptly killed and dumped in an unmarked grave all the inmates had something in common they all dealt with the Brotherhood of makuda at some point in their lives first up was Ruda former Queen of the vizak who betrayed the Brotherhood to the dark Hunters then betrayed the dark Hunters as well now both sides wanted her dead next were takadox and kopar former baraki whose armies were crushed 880,000 Years Ago by the Brotherhood who had been quietly kidnapped from the Waters of the pit and recruited for this team sulking in the corner of the cell was the fourth member the disgraced makuda spiria who had fouled up an experiment on the island of zakas so badly that his own people marked him for death this was of course the makuda responsible for mutating the scoty race into criminal thugs barbarians and Warriors and lastly there was vzon who had recently been saved from the zlac who dragged him away in the pit and now found himself face to face with the rest of the strike force despite Von's objections that he had never had any dealings with the Brotherhood and they likely confused him with his other half vzok brutaka forced him in line revealing the second thing that the band of criminals had in common with each other they were all completely Expendable and their debts would make no difference in the grand scheme of the universe as such this Federation of fear was made up of the perfect candidates for a suicide mission so if you're a fan of DC Comics it's probably pretty clear exactly what this is the Federation of fear is basically Bionicle answer to the suicide squad and this is actually a direct influence because the writer of bionical Greg fary is a big fan of comic books now this story serial is probably one of my favorites throughout all of Bionicle and it really does wonders to Von's character making him one of the funniest and most entertaining characters in the entire Bionicle world if the Federation of fear is Bionicle version of Suicide Squad Von is definitely Bionicle version of Deadpool and unfortunately because I have to recap the story as quickly and concisely as possible a lot of Von's most funny remarks and actions really aren't covered too closely within this retelling so if you are interested in this concept and want to learn more about this definitely go check out the Federation of fear online story serial which actually is fully hosted on bios sector 01 today which is the biggest bionical Wiki brutaka and his team Ruda vzon kopar takadox and makuda spiria had arrived in the shores of the island of stealth in a small boat as soon as Ruda recognized the skyline she began to protest stealth was the home of the late cak her former comrade and his people worse Ruda had set up cidar to be killed and it was likely everyone on stealth knew that but brutaka insisted they would need a bigger boat to get where they were going and this was the easiest place to get one the only other team member to vo an objection was spiria who believed Brotherhood of makuda Agents were waiting in every village to grab him just as raka began to question brutaka as to how they would purchase a boat she was swiftly Bound by carapar and brutaka approached the stelan Craftsman with a deal he could give them his largest boat and in return they would surrender Ruda to him or he could claim the Bounty for one of the most Wanted beings on stealth as they Bartered takedo snuck away hypnotizing the crew of the ship with his mental powers to jump overboard while veson distracted the traitor long enough for bhaka to knock him unconscious ending the ruse and claiming the boat for the Federation after days of sailing makuda spiria made his move betraying the team and summoning a contingent of zlac to commandeer the boat despite this quick and sudden betrayal brutaka made no attempt to stop the Rogue makuda and as spiria changed course to seek revenge on the Scotti his zlac armies were beset by members of elex species allowing brutaka to regain control of his team and threatened to reveal spira's location to the Brotherhood should he attempt to betray them again it was then that brutaka revealed the sixth member of the team the devious dark Hunter Lisa who he' secretly hired to follow them and intervene with ruta's allies should any member betray the team journeying to the southern regions of the universe the Federation of fear came across a Barren Island where the weapons collected by botar and truma had been deposited in haste following the attack by makuda iarax just as the squad of anti-heroes approached the central Cavern on the small island they began to hear the sounds of a massive organism breathing a wet Hollow sound as if inhaling through mud before the Federation had a chance to flee vast walls of rock suddenly sprang up from the shoreline forming a 200t high wall around the island and cutting the team off from their boat sharp Spears of stone erupted from the ground itself impaling the wings of makuda spiria who attempted to flee all around them a slimy repulsive voice echoed from deep within the cave a massive tentacle shot out wrapping itself around brutaka and pulling him inside the next moment he was in the presence of something so horrible so alien that it took all of his willpower just to hold on to his sanity this was Tren crom a writhing Crimson mass of tentacles emerging from a gelatinous central core with two dead yellow eyes that somehow followed every movement without ever moving themselves to recap the prologue in chapter 1 Beginnings trenro was the original entity the great beings created which was a purely organic being to rule the entire matorn universe while they were still constructing the manui AI of course once they instated Maui as the great spirit ruler of the entire robot there was really no more need for Tren crumb and he was cast off to Liv the rest of his life in Exile on a remote island where he was basically cut off from the rest of the matur universe now trenro has the power to invade the mind of any Maturin Universe member who approaches him and unless they're members of the order of manui who have their minds mentally shielded he can really just read every single one of your thoughts and even sometimes invade your mind controlling your body Tren crom's appearance is also completely disgusting and horrific there is no Canon image of Tren crom throughout the entire bionical history because the writer Greg fary preferred to leave his appearance up for interpretation that being said any being to gaze at him for too long will be driven mad because their minds just simply aren't built to comprehend what they are seeing of course behind me I've put a fan illustration of what trend crom could look like just for purposes of illustration here the entity seemed over time to have merge with the stone floor and walls of its cave so that lurker and place of concealment were one the ACD stench of Decay hung over everything and in vain brutaka tried to break free of the grip of trencrom's tentacle he could feel the strange being trying to probe his mind but so far ruta's mental training had allowed him to resist if that should fail he knew the secrets of the order of manui would be exposed to this monster as Tren crom demanded they tell him what wonders had come into the universe in the Millennia since his Exile Lisa stepped up claiming that trencrom's Universe was in danger and if he kept them there he would be hurting the one thing he helped bring into being carar edged slowly to the side sword in hand no one paid any attention for all eyes were on Lisa who had been grabbed by one of trencrom's many arms without the discipline brutaka possessed her mind was an open book to the entity she screamed as a lifetime of memories were sifted through in an instant crying out as she saw glimpses of the ancient mind of Tren cro when he finally released her she collapsed on the stone floor and in the distraction carart began to make a move raising his sword to strike the entity then a third eye suddenly appeared directly on trenro one gazing right at carar the baraki froze in midlow a shaft of energy shot out from the eye bathing him in its glow and in the next instant carapar shattered into fragments as if he had been made of crystal there was nothing left of him but a pile of glittering dust on the stone floor and with carapar disintegrated Tren crom left them with his final words he had helped helped birth a world of order but the Denis of the maturan universe had turned it into a universe of Madness and fear it was no longer worth saving to him and he saw it as greater punishment to condemn the rest of the Federation to their deserved fate life in the universe they and their kind had made with no one taking the time to argue they gathered up brutaka and Lisa fleeing the cave even as the stone walls that surrounded the island receded into the sand only tacx paused to look back at the cavern where carar had died wondering for a moment just what it would take to end the life of a being older than the stars as the band of Misfits journeyed onwards they finally reached their destination looming out of the Mist was an island of black sand and Jagged Rock volcanic Peaks and strange Rahi arcing and Wheeling through the sky despite the bright light that played off the waters around it the island seemed to be in Perpetual Shadow this was the island of idex home to the imprisoned makuda miserix as the squad crept into the tunnels deep beneath the island they heard the entrance slam shut behind them and realized the devious tedox had sealed them in now down to just brutaka vason Ruda Lisa and makuda spiria the team ventured ever onwards with spiria being threatened with death should he not join them as they blasted past strange Rahi and automated defenses They Came Upon the largest occupant of the chamber a massive dragon-like Beast chained to the stone floor all around it flew much smaller Rahi darting and dodging the shadow hand that occasionally shot out from the creature's chest This 40ft Tall creature was makuda Miser original leader of the Brotherhood now chained to the caverns and surrounded by strange flying clack Rahi with piercing Sonic screams glancing around the chamber at the squad Mizer caught sight of makuda spiria and in an instant activated his shadow hand devouring spira's Essence and absorbing his life force for spiria had been one of the first to side with pterodax in their Revolt now down to just four the Federation of fear began to attempt to convince Miser to join them breaking his chains and freeing the Monstrous Dragon Makuta despite rud's attempts to betray the team inside with miserix alone the Great Dragon was convinced by ruta's promise a promise of revenge against makuda pterodax in exchange for working with them and so as the dragon sprouted Wings brutaka Lisa vason and a stunned Ruda climbed on his back they soared high above the island pausing only long enough for mizerik to make a muttered vow to come back and destroy the place one day brutaka noted that the team's boat was gone takadox had gotten away but it was of no concern to brutaka who stayed firm in his resolve a storm was coming to this universe and when it hit there would be nowhere for anyone to hide Vier spread his wings and turned to the north carrying his passengers into the unknown part four shadows in the sky as the Federation of fear freed makuda misiz and takova continued spiraling through Dimensions taho's team of toaa in the swamps of cardui battled the armies of makuda uncovering Secrets of the KR and keystones high in the skies above cardui the team led by kopaka interrogated the captured Shadow Muran kiram after seizing his piece of the Keystone after realizing the maurin's Mind had been Twisted by Darkness the TOA decided to trick the matorin of Shadow allowing him to overhear a false conversation about a planned raid on the shadow leech Hive the location of which the TOA had still not deciphered but hoped to trick kop into leading them there as expected the loyal Shadow murin blasted through his makeshift prison making a beeline for the secret location of the hive with kopaka pohatu Lewa and the Amma Torin right on his heels just then the team of Heroes encountered the Monstrous Rahi the makuda scientist cooked up and just as they were about to succumb to the jaws of the multi-headed monstrosity TOA ignika the consciousness of the mask of life rocketed into action using the power of life to rapidly age the creature sending it plummeting to the ground and dying of old age in the commotion the TOA failed to recognize that this mysterious mute stranger was actually bearing the mask of life but readily accepted all the help they could get and together they flew onwards to the shadow leech Hive as kirup approached the shadow leech Hive vcon had already fled to summon iarax and the scientist mutron watched as the TOA and murin approached in the distance barring the door shut to buy himself some time mutran conjured up several illusions with his unique powers disguising the Vats of Shadow leeches as Solid Rock just then the TOA blasted the door open with kopaka staying to fight makuda mutron while the rest of the TOA flew deeper within the hive in search for the shadow Leach Vats unaware they were right before their eyes as Lewa pohatu TOA ignika and the aorin soared through tunnel after tunnel they grew confused passing by all the disguised Vats and venturing deeper into the makuda lair just then Lea and pohatu turned in fear and directly behind them was a snarling white-skinned Rahi primed to attack little did they know but this was actually TOA ignika who mutron had projected another illusion over to trick the TOA into fighting amongst themselves as Lea and pohatu attacked the disguised TOA ignika the mask of Life reacted angrily slowing their life processes to their existence meanwhile as kopaka continued to fight mutron he was Dazed for a split second by fear Powers allowing mutron to use his mental abilities to begin to drive the TOA of ice insane and as the battle with mutron raged on pohatu and Lewa begged TOA ignika to stop killing them realizing in shock and confusion that the mysterious stranger was wearing the mask of life as they pleaded with the mask the other makuda burst in the hive anr rallying vampa and Shiro to defend their Lair and strike back against the TOA knocking kopaka unconscious with their powers of shattering and magnetism the three makuda reinforcements proceeded to use their power screams to knock out the rest of the fighting toaa and matorin ending the battle within the lair as the TOA fought within the shadow Leach layer the shadow maturan vcon scientific assistant touched down on the makuda fortress on Destro using a tablet of transit to gain access to the Brotherhood Fortress shocked vcon saw iarax sitting on makuda tx's Old throne wearing pterodax old Mask of Shadows and fresh from killing the teleporting botar despite ikar scoffing at the fact that antros would attempt to give him orders he agreed to go to cardui and join the fight if only to persuade his fellow makuda to abandon terada's plan and side with him instead as Von returned to cardui iarax gathered his weapons preparing for war meanwhile within the shadow Leach Hive pohatu managed to escape captivity with his powers of stone in TOA ignika who slowly began to trust him again thinking fast pohatu activated his kohi kakam NOA mask of speed and vibrated through the shadow Leach Vats shattering the glass and casting the makuda into Mayhem in the confusion the TOA matorin and ignika escaped with TOA ignika using his powers of life to snap the semi-organic Stone holding up the hive bringing the makuda crashing to the ground as both sides regrouped for a final battle in the skies makuda iarax arrived on the scene Ronda deing with his fellow makuda and agreeing to defeat TOA ignika and claim the mask of life if only for his own amusement and so the last battle over the Villages of cardui began with the makuda flying over the village spreading Shadow over the remaining Village of light just before breaking off from the formation mutron and ikra struck the roof of cardui with lightning anr use his weather control Power to create a storm and vampa and Shiro alternated the use of their Sonics and Cyclone powers to destroy all the maturan homes and light Vines revealing the hiding place of the TOA and murin they were stunned to find it completely empty for the TOA had flown back to what remained of the makuta's lair to seize their piece of the Keystone and so when The makuda Returned their lir a heated battle began anra fired off deadly beams of heat vision only for kopaka to form a hail of ice redirecting them at the makuda and piercing his armor as some of an's anti-is essence began to leak out chiro and KIRO engaged pohatu and and in a thrilling conclusion to this epic battle IX activated his powerful gravity abilities sending all around him hurling downwards to the swamp including phatu the aorin photo as well as antros and his shadow maturan servant radiac while the battle was completely over kopaka and Lea broke off from the attack to dive after Batu spiraling down to the mysterious swamp of Secrets up to this point TOA ignika had not participated in the battle because he was too overwhelmed by the course of the fight however after seeing Batu K into the swamp ignika was enraged flying directly at iarax with his blade of Life recognizing the mask of Life iarax acted swiftly using his density control Power to let the blade pass through him then increasing the density of his fist to punch ignika off his skyboard just as ikra reached down to take the mask of Life ignika cursed him reversing his Evolution until all his anti- dermis transformed back into organic tissue and dealing ik's w Wes of excruciating pain for his armor was intended for energy not organs and muscle capturing iarax and the scientist mutron ignika prepared to fight the rest of the makuda who fled from the gruesome scene and with the battle temporarily over both the TOA and makuda were scattered wounded and reeling from The climactic Clash in the sky interlude Destiny War part one as battles continued in kenui and takua grew ever closer to returning to his home Universe the order of manui fortress on daxia was on high alert brutaka suicide mission had succeeded and The Colossal dragon-like makuda miserix had been brought to the order's main stronghold as axon stood firm as a defender of vui he was contacted by TOA crua under orders of helr to return to the Fortress at once for all agents of the order of manui were being recalled back to their stronghold to prepare for an allout Destiny War as axon arrived on daxia he was brought face to face with with his old friend once mortal enemy brutaka for the first time since their battles on vui astonished to see brutaka redeemed and once again a full-fledged member of the order axon was overjoyed finally reuniting with brutaka but there was no time to catch up for toah helricks had put out a major announcement after all these years the order was about to come out of hiding first of the order of manu's agents to respond was Mazika the cooran warrior who had held a brutal rivalry with the omor in VTR now servant of makuda karx for killing his mentor years ago in a senseless spree of murders Mazika was training with fellow order of manui agent todu when he heard hel's call and his first destination was to seek out and detain his old rifle Voltz who potentially held great secrets to be used against a Brotherhood sailing forth to the island of Steal Mazika tortured a NRA ghost for information about voltr learning that the devious voltr had paid that Maturin to build a Sleek Sky Fighter for him after learning that voltr was headed for cardui Mazika made a beine for the order of manui headquarters demanding to be told of the secret location to the entrance of cardui there he met up with his old partner todu who promised to lead him to cardui after mzika helped him attack the Brotherhood of makuta's fortress on Destro in the hopes that they could force the armies of the makuda to teleport directly to metui and be faced with the order's most powerful Legions there meanwhile on the beaches of the island of odina dark dark Hunter stronghold ancient the right hand of the shadowed one and secret double agent for the order of manui stood on the beach waiting for Lisa to return from her suicide mission as strange birds flew in unique patterns in the sky ancient received a coded message from the order of manui convince the shattered one to side with the order in their war against makuda or kill him personally next on the list of the order's allies was the resurrected Jailer hydraxon who had once fought alongside toah helrick in his Orin form and would answer the call to battle once again plunging deep within the black Waters of the pit toell leovic met up with hydraxon who had just received a list of secret orders from helis as the two Warriors pace through the now partially reconstructed pit prison hydraxon Came Upon the four remaining baraki Warlords pridak Kalma mantax and El who he had rounded up and recaptured over the past few months promising their freedom and a chance to rebuild the league of six kingdoms hydraxon convinced the baraki to fight with the order against the Brotherhood a chance the baraki readily accepted to return to the land once again back in the Fortress of the order vzon had been thrown back in a Cell alongside Ruda across from him were makeshift water tanks holding what remained of the paraka all except zachan who had been sent off with the toah haa on a secret mission months ago in the opposite tank was a mad Titan carani now driven fully insane and mutated By the Waters of the pit just then the crimson and armored order of manui agent truma opened the door to a cell and despite Von's claims that they must have freed him to draw on his self-proclaimed great intellect and strategic expertise truma merely replied that the order needed someone who could die horribly without being missed and just like that vzon was recruited to yet another suicide mission as the order began to make their moves the first mission was to the scoty ruled island of zakas where the order wished to make a deal with the scoty warlord NE to arrange an alliance between them and as axon and brutaka were brought before nectan they lied claiming that they had already gained the allegiance of other Scotty Warlords to share in The Spoils of War with the Brotherhood and nectan would be missing out on sacking their fortresses looting their weapons and slaying their Warriors and so nectan agreed to lead his Scotti forces in a battle against the makuda armies and first in their sights with a contingent of vicious rxi sons of makuda on a neighboring Island meanwhile the toah were on mission for the order of manui to uncover the secret hiding place of makuda pterodax led by the devious zachan who now was little more than a head and spine floating in a makeshift Fishbowl the toah haa had arrived in the gates of metroui with a terrible Mission destroy the colum for makuda pterodax likely seeped in gaseous form beneath the structure to secret Caverns below as the haga arrived in the Coliseum they were confronted by jaler and the toari who were on edge due to the mysterious disappearance of takova and and willing to defend metru nuui at all costs despite the hagga attempting to explain their mission to find makuda pterodax and destroy the coliseum in the process the TOA Mari refused to believe them and seeing the hagga as a threat to the city the two TOA teams engage in a destructive conflict throughout the city of metroui as this was happening truma explained Von's mission to arrive at the makuda fortress on Destro where he would likely be killed and pretend to betray the order of manui announcing an attack on The makuda Fortress in the hopes that the makuda would activate the ancient teleportation engine within which could move the entire stronghold anywhere in the matoran universe as vason was captured on arrival to his surprise he was led to the only makuda left on destral a lone Warrior named Triax who was the sole makuda left to guard The Fortress while 's Strike Force and iarax were away in cardui just then a blast rocked the side of the Fortress and to Triax and Von surprise The Fortress was already seemingly under attack the zika and todu had arrived to bring their deceptive plan to motion hoping Trix would teleport the great Fortress and all of the makuda armies to metroui far to the West pridak watched as another Brotherhood of makuda Fortress Outpost burned and smiled at the sight he had been fortunate since his release from the pit his captors had provided him with ships and the resources with which to raise an army from the worst holes in the universe prak had found ex dark Hunters exiled vortic even a scoty or two for his Crews before Kalma even had a chance to devise a battle plan praak had sounded off without him on a voyage of Conquest his men had routed the forces of the makuda who occupied this place but had found no actual member of the Brotherhood of makuda for all of them were occupied in cardui and as pridak claimed this makuda Refuge he discovered the pieces to a grand tablet on the wall inscriptions detailing dark Plans and evil schemes piecing together the message pridea sent his armies outside as he alone sat and read the inscriptions for this was the grand plan of makuda pterodax himself meanwhile back on the islands near zakas axon and brutaka stood on a steep rise overlooking a battlefield down below the assembled might of the Scotti of zakas were locked in combat with a small army of RI initially the Scotti had suffered horrible losses but they were capable of something that the raki could only pretend rage hungry for victory and filled with hatred for their enemy The Barbarians regrouped and tore through the Rock ranks to axon it was overwhelming thrilling and sickening all at once and as the Scotti distracted the Roxi battalions brutaka and axon crept past the battle and Came Upon an ancient sanctum before them was the pool of mysterious green anti- dermis the original pool where the great spirit manui first created the makuda long ago discovered by order of manui informants as a source of all num makuda axon and brutaka made plans to destroy the vast pool once and for all and end in the threat of potential new makuda as they prepared to strike the Waters of the pool suddenly exploded upwards and outwards foul scaling liquid struck axon and brutaka seeping into the openings in their masks and armor it hissed and red like a thing Alive Burning whever it touched temporarily blinded and in pain the two Warriors staggered and then stumbled plunging into the pool itself back in the shadowed ones layer ancient managed to convince the dark Hunter ruler to Ally with the order of mon his hatred for the Brotherhood of makuda fueling his actions above all as the shadowed one recalled all dark Hunters to fight for the order their first mission was to seize the island of Zia pacifying the local Vortex and preventing them from joining the brotherhood like their devious raka with the population of Zia imprisoned and coralled in a matter of hours the shadowed one had grown bored coming across a Vortex worker frantically clearing Rubble to seize a treasure deep within binding the worker with crystalline protodermis from his staff the sh one began to dig never taking his eye off the vortex the deeper he got the more visibly upset the Zeon natives seemed to be several feet down He Came Upon A Proto steel box burned into the lid was the symbol of the Brotherhood of makuda opening the box carefully the Shaded one's eyes widened as he gazed upon a mysterious set of virus vials which may soon make him Master of the Universe and in the far edges of the universe Skies darkened as the Great makuda mauda Dragon Miser roamed free once again announcing to all corners of the world that he was back makuda miserix began his sole mission to find and kill makuda pterodax in the hopes of finally getting revenge on the man behind his suffering for eons of years during all these events at the start of the destiny war with the Brotherhood of makuda toah helrick original TOA and leader of the order of manui sat in the command chamber of her fortress on daxia the war against the Brotherhood of makuda had begun and and it had not begun well although the order through the dark Hunters now held Z they had been unable to dislodge makuda forces from the island of NRA in other places the order's surprise attacks had met unexpectedly Fierce resistance from rocked and exot TOA with battles erupting on multiple fronts and the brunt of the mudas legions currently occupying cardui helricks had little to do but watch and wait observing where the Great War would lead the greatest conflict in the history of the Muran Universe had just begun by by her hand and the outcome would change the Destinies of all who called the Maturin Universe home again going back to the comic book references this time with Marvel the destiny War which was led by toah helrick the leader of the order of manui is basically Bionicle version of Marvel's Infinity War where everyone rallied together from all different parts of the universe against a major threat this is why there's just so many characters doing so many different things throughout the Universe because all of this is culating in one final battle but we'll get there in a second and the outcome of at least the movie version of infinity war is remarkably similar to the bionical version of Destiny War but we'll get there in a little bit part five swamp of Secrets as the destiny war broke out throughout the Universe engaging all major players and factions the tanova and the makuda and cardui were none the wiser engage in their own heated Conflict for the heart of the great spirit manui while kopaka leted his demon raids on the shadow Lee Hive in the skies above Ki and the mask of Life rocketed upwards in the form of TOA ignika to join the fight tahu onua and Gali were still locked in battle with makuda kka goras and Biddle in the swamps below cardui still battling with kka tahu had just sent up his emergency flare when goly and onua rushed to his Aid in the skies above explosions echoed from the fight with the other TOA and makuda goras B and Crea rushed to save the falling makuda chirox who had been caught in iar's gravity blast in this Lull in the conflict the toan NOA and the swamp were stunned to encounter a clearing of aorin watching from a distance they observed as the urin lay on the ground writhing as Electronics replaced Organics and the once sensient individual beings evolved into the Mindless Boro to taho's horror he realized that all the borac they had fought on manui years ago were once of matorin and this was a natural part of their life cycles in this clearing now filled with Boro tahu and his team claimed another piece of the Keystone dropped by a matur that had now been fully evolved into a Boro from there the toan NOA of the swamps had little time to ponder this dramatic reveal about the true nature of their world for the makuda were distracted by the falling cherro and now was the time to strike in a surprise attack the TOA launched into a volley of attacks each temporarily knocking out their opponents to claim yet another piece of the Keystone during this brief conflict the makuda of the swamps were distracted Ed yet again by a telepathic message from the other makuda in the skies iars had fallen and the kohi ignika mask of Life had created a TOA form of its own who had bested the makuda with a fraction of its power stunned by this Revelation the makuda were too late to prevent taho's team from escaping to the kodri and instead decided to lay in wait for the TOA near the kodri entrance ready to Ambush them at their destination in the swamp tahu and his team arrived at the kodra where they met steep resistance from the makuda despite K's attempts to have a conversation with tahu and convince him that both sides were doomed to lose should pedak succeed the hot-headed tahoo merely continued attacking Kaa with Fireballs forced to lower his density Kaa allowed the Flames to pass right through him only half-heartedly fighting back for Gali and onua however their opponents lashed out with unrestrained Force as the battle continued Kaa informed tahu that he should check his surroundings and as tahu looked behind him he watched as the other makuda from from the skies led by antros were on a direct course to the swamp and as all available makuda rallied around the swamp of Secrets the TOA were about to be overwhelmed dimensional interlude 3 Empire of Fallen TOA thousands of years ago in our Prime Universe the deranged serial killer TOA tuet attempted to frame the dark hunters for her spree of murders around the city of metr Nei in her quest to keep the newie stone but unlike our main universe just as TOA Leon confronted tuet in this dark mirror alternate World TOA nadiki instead chose to side with to tuet and the pair of corrupted TOA killed Leon the dark Hunters were successfully blamed for the murders and to yet set about convincing the other TOA that they were better off forcefully protecting the matorin forming an empire in order to deal with threats along with the dark Hunters the Brotherhood of makuda were targeted for extinction and the weapons manufacturer nimra ghosts were also attacked because their Creations could potentially be used against the empire the existence of the TOA M was discovered and to yet sent the signal to launch their TOA canisters freeing them to join the TOA Empire as tagad Duma was publicly opposed to the Empire's ruthlessness he was quietly dealt with with tuya tling his rule in establishing her grand regime over all of metroui as a base of operations for her new Empire of TOA while some like TOA leovic fought back sticking to their morals and values most of the TOA mat came to serve erve to yet as their loss of memories made it easier to mold them to accept this new status quo years passed and this ruthless TOA empire grew in power killing all those who opposed them and imprisoning the rest in secret torture chambers within metroui it was at this time of expansion and oppression that a great portal opened in the sky above this alternate metroui transporting the toat takua of our Prime Universe to this dark mirror world encountering the Muran capira in the streets his old friend from the island of mon takua was shocked to see the Maturin beg for his life before him and statues of the toam ma lining every street as kapura begged takova to let him pass the temperature dropped sharply all around them and in an instant capur was locked in a foot thick shell of ice from the neck down just enough to make him feel the excruciating pain of the intense cold as kapura cried out in pain takua looked up to see toao Paka descending upon them accompanied by toat tahu as they demanded to see taka's identity t kopaka brought his sword to his neck imprisoning him as an enemy of the TOA Empire tossing takua in a dark cell tahu merely laughed at his protests refusing to answer his questions and locking him deep within the Coliseum of metroui as takua examined his cell a weak voice echoed from behind him illumining the cell with a fraction of his light power takova saw a murin hanging from the wall with chains around his wrists and ankles this imprisoned matorin was none other than takua and an alternate version of takua himself that had never become a TOA of light freed by his variant takua began to explain the history of the TOA Empire universe and how he like countless other Maturin had been left to rot in prison for not meeting the TOA strict productivity requirements when golly and karan's Muran re-education facilities failed and even hours of vaky conditioning failed to break the will of takua they had simply dumped him in the cell for all of eternity as takova took in tua's Tales of the state of Universe he was resolved to immediately escape and return to his main world but not without trying to improve this dark mirror Dimension first escaping from their cell takua and takua crept through the archives which to taka's disgust had been converted to a twisted Trophy Room of Fallen foes a museum of conquest and suffering a long dead and mounted viz Cara stared from the Shadows with glassy eyes a collection of Weaponry was nearby each item identified with a small cribed tablet the staff of the shattered one Spear of fusion zamere launchers Ruka launchers and more next to those was the most amazing sight of all the kohi Mask of Shadows property of the leader of the Brotherhood of makuda now nailed to the wall like just another Trophy and most terrifying of all was a massive stasis tube imprisoning Duma to barely keep him alive in Eternal suffering acting fast to free the taga takova introduced himself begging Duma to trust him and help fix this broken world as the trio of escapes delve deeper within the archives they came face to face with two hooded cloaked beings of Shadow the makuda of this universe behind them echoed a voice all too familiar to takua the voice of makuda pterodax in this world he wore a rusted and pitted kohi how explaining that even touching his former Mask of Shadows would immediately alert tatuya and her vaki enforcers threaten to kill takova and his companions the TOA of light revealed himself stating that he was in opposition to tet's rule and his powers as a TOA of light could help turn the tide of battle in their favor pterodax and makuda Kaa offered takua a deal they would help him find this universe's version of brutaka to transport him back to the main universe but only if takua agreed to help the makuda claim a valuable artifact to fight back against the TOA Empire the legendary mask of time which in this universe had been forged by our taka himself this mask of time was on route to metroui in the hands of a TOA Empire Convoy protected by TOA bonga and koalas and led by fanatical maturan giler taka's old friend in the prime Dimension now turned devout servant of the TOA Empire cooking up a specialized virus that gave takova the power of flight makuda kka and pterodax bid him on his journey agreeing to protect takua and tagad Duma while he was away and so takua encountered the procession introducing himself to Jer kuis and bonga claiming to be one of tet's secret TOA enforcers takua managed to earn their trust learning that the brutaka of this universe had been killed by toab banga himself during the Empire's so-called lawful expedition to voan Nui right before takua was about to be exposed a gust of wind swept past the Caravan and in an instant the two toah haa and Jer were down and in their place was TOA leovic who had spared taka's life in the hopes that he would Aid him in the Rebellion against the TOA Empire and under the cover of Darkness TOA lesic and takova darted through the sculpture fields of petu leading takova to a mapen and halfhazard Throne of stone lvic introduced him to this universe's version of TOA pohatu former enforcer for the TOA Empire now leader of the resistance efforts against the brutal dictatorship pohatu explained that over time he had grown wary of tuet regime and the final straw was the senseless Massacre of four dozen matorin which Batu refused to be a part of after making contact with leovic pohatu had established a full-on resistance effort comprised of makuda dark hunters and even matorin within the TOA Empire's ranks as secret agents joining this resistance was the Maturin amau who had been a devious trickster in taka's Prime universe but in this world any being opposing to TOA was an ally to takua as the resistance team met in pohatu secret hideout their plan was laid out akau would alert every available Mak UDA in the city while the dark Hunter Darkness would rally together what remained of their organization any maturan n TOA willing to revolt would be drafted into the rebellion and in one night every force that sought to oppose the TOA Empire would descend upon the city in a full scale assault it was a dangerous plan but takua had no choice but to agree if he wanted any chance of breaking into the Coliseum and stealing Brut taka's old it had all started out so well leovic band had made it close to the Coliseum before being spotted as planned UA used his Newfound Shadow powers to Blind the guards pohatu following with a massive fist of stone that cracked the walls of the huge structure to the east makuda pterodax LED makuda kka makuda kojol tagad Duma and takua into battle at first they made short work of the matorin and TOA who guarded tet's Fortress then it went all wrong a TOA of iron appeared on the walls and to taka's horror a hail of spikes impaled tuua ripping his body to shreds and killing takua was altern itself self makuda kjo fell next his armor crushed by the toa's power and his Essence incinerated by a TOA of plasma forced to pull back pterodax fled from his opponents circling back to Aid leovic Squad the dark Hunter Primal had run into tahoo in the Eastern entrance and in a surprise attack managed to kill the TOA of fire as Revenge goly summoned a sphere of water around primal's head suffocating him on dry land toaa hit golly with a wave of solid sound blasting Apart Her mask and armor and Batu cried out too late for akau had already dashed ahead and slain the Fallen toe of water he didn't get to enjoy his Triumph long for kopaka Flash froze amau and a swipe from onua claw shattered the murin into little pieces of Crystal and protodermis now it was no longer one battle but a dozen separate ones being fought at once the lines moving back and forth pohatu fought his way into the Coliseum but found himself too evenly matched with onua to make much progress leovic fell with an ice in his shoulder but rallied to blow kopaka off his post high at top the Coliseum takova only could wince as a toe of ice hit the ground and lay still as takua pterodax and darkness rallied to storm the gates of the Coliseum a battle like no other lay ahead of them all around him allies fell and familiar faces cried out in pain and death surrounded by suffering takua found the resolve to charge ahead blasting his way past a group of TOA and finally reaching the inner chamber the throne room of TOA tuet there framed in the chamber doors was tuet newie Stone in one hand mask of dimensional Gates and the other takua barely had a chance to react before he was blown through half a dozen Walls by a focused tidal wave to yet immediately making the first move to kill the outsider takova charged and the next few seconds were a blaze of battle lasers turning water to steam waves crashing against walls eras to see what would happen first takova drowning in the tide or toet drowning in in darkness when the fight was through tuet stood once more triumphant but just then a distant sound echoed through the halls of the Coliseum and as the two combatants surveyed the now demolished Central Square of metroui they could hear the sound of thousands of armed murin marching up to the building finally rising up against the oppressive regime in the distance takua could see airships and seagoing vessels carrying other murin dark Hunters Vortex and other beings all bent on descending on the city their eyes fixed on the coliseum in a moment of distraction tuet activated the mask of dimensional Gates intending to scour the Multiverse to raise an army to return and crush the Rebellion once and for all as an energy portal opened in the center of the room takova seized the opportunity to steal the olac snatching the mask from her face the second it lost contact with her its power shut off and the portal began to slowly close takua mask and hand Dove through but Tu yet was not about to let him Escape so easily and even as he cleared the portal she grabbed onto his leg trying to follow him blasting him with hard bolts of water tuet caught his hand and tore the mask causing it to Flo away in the space between Dimensions takua turned back and what he saw horrified him to yet was halfway through the portal trying to drag takua back in she was so consumed by rage that she never noticed the portal closing until it was much too late screaming as the gates of reality slammed shut on her body Toot's upper half was left in the void and her her lower half in the Coliseum on her world mercifully death came instantly takua hovered in the Inner Space for a long moment he wondered what would happen in tet's Universe with her gon would the TOA become protectors again would the matorin take control or would some group of the dark hunters in makuda become the new dictators perhaps someday if he was able he would return to find out the answer turning his head away from the remains of tuyet wondering how at TOA could go so wrong takua realized with a shudder What a fine line it could be between Justice and tyranny to's life had been wasted but the lives of no more TOA would be lost if he could prevent it with grim resolve he resumed his journey to cardui and as he opened a dimensional Gateway which would finally bring him back to his core Universe it's time to return to cardui and return to the events of the core timeline and battles being fought and won during taka's multiversal Journey part six battle for the kodre meanwhile back in cardui the final battle was about to begin as TOA ignika held guard over makuda karx and mutron the rest of the to anua followed the makuda deep into the swamp reunited at last and combining all the pieces of the Keystone the six to anua engaged in the final battle for the Maturin Universe hurdling towards each other through the air each TOA locked in battle with each makuda after a brief struggle with tahu vampa had flown into the mist and now silently hunted the cautious toe of Fire kka who had been attacked by golly finally decided to make his moves while the makuda were distracted partially draining some of Go's energy kka carried her off into the swamp hoping to have a peaceful conversation Lea kopaka and onua failed to notice this occupied with the rest of the makuda while pohatu battled goras oneon-one unable to deal any significant damage while the makuda used the powers of her Mass to disrupt his elemental power of stone during this tahu managed to hurl a fireball at the plants below vampa causing a massive explosion and distracting the makuda long enough to rejoin his friends with goras distracted pohatu regained control over his elemental powers reuniting with the tanova and realizing that goali and Kaa were missing still flying towards the KRS tahu ordered pohatu to find golly while he went off to help the others fight away from the battle Kaa spoke with golly still dazed from the attack revealing to her that he had stly betrayed pterodax and Left makuda miserix Alive K outlined the history of the Brotherhood of makuda as they spoke kka gave go a tablet of Transit and told her to leave cardui before the other TOA could awaken Maui so she could save herself from the death that awaited all who lingered there questioning his motives goly continued to doubt Kaa who simply told her that he wished to be different from the other makuda and show Mercy rather than an endless cycle of pain and death meanwhile back in the former layer of the makuda mutron assistant vcon was left to guard the equipment and Rahi experiments one of these Rahi the perplexing clock creature attacked Von from a shattered vat with a piercing Sonic scream to Von's confusion he felt the shadow within him begin to drain replaced back with his moral light and returning him to a lay matorin and Von came to the crucial realization that the Rahi clack held the power to revert the shadow murin back to their true selves and cure the shadow leech infection but just as goly was about to ask Kaa about the true nature of pterodax land a bolt of lightning coursed through the sky and a crackling dimensional gate ripped open in front of goly and CA emerging from the portal was takua at last due to his nature as a toe of light takua felt the raw energy of cardui fueling him increasing his size to Titanic scale and feeding energy and light throughout his entire body firing a bolt of light at Kaa takua forced the makuda to escape sinking beneath the Waters of the swamp with a resigned look on his face for he had tried to warn goly but with the arrival of a TOA of light and Shadow there would be no stopping them from Awakening manui now retrieving the miniaturized sundal of manui takua shone light upon it instantly locating the hidden entrance to the kod as takua gazed at the sky he noticed pohatu soaring through the air but due to his orange armor and altered appearance from the Adaptive armor takova failed to recognize him and the darker shadowy part of his nature instinctively pushed him to lash out with Shadow mistaking takua for pterodax in Disguise pohatu prepared to attack this new TOA of light and Shadow only for go to step in bridging her mind with takua just as she had done when he was merely tuua on the island of manui golly learned of the Multiverse of Madness takua had just hurdled through and realized his command over Shadow was the result of ia's Shadow leech attack convinced that the armor tightened before him was truly takua pohatu apologized and the three TOA flew onwards to reconvene with the rest of the toan NOA interlude Destiny War part two as takua joined the fight in koui the rest of the universe was engulfed in turmoil the war between the order of manui and the Brotherhood of makuda raged on and no faction or land was left untouched Across the Universe each major player was embroiled in their own individual conflicts unaware that their paths were all about to collide axon and brutaka had just tumbled in a pool of anti- dermis their Fates unknown Von had been captured by makuda triac just as the Fortress was attacked by Mazika and todu in a major diversion in the hopes that triac would teleport the vast Fortress and what remained of its armies to metroui where the order would Ambush them with all their forces on the island of Zia the shadowed one under command of the order had seized the populace preventing them from supporting the Brotherhood and he had just made a startling discovery of his own on the island elsewhere praac leader of what remained of the baraki had discovered a tablet detailing makuda pterodax as Grand and plan and learned of the intricacies on how to cast the great spirit manui into Slumber with a concoction of special viruses the viruses that the shadowed one himself had just stumbled upon as Kalma mantax and elic waited to receive word from prac on the war efforts the only other remaining baraki alive takadox had sailed away making schemes of his own in other corners of the universe the intelligent Rahi kangu waged a war against the vizak scourge driving the makuda servants from their land and free being their captives meanwhile toah helrick watched the war from her inner Chambers observing and plotting and in the darkness of the pit hydraxon and TOA leovic finally left to join the order of manian battle during all this a heated battle between the toam Mari and toah haa had broken out with the hagga resolved to destroy the floor of the Coliseum to root out makuda pterodax once and for all and all this time the Colossal dragon makuda misiz soared in the skies of the universe searching for pterodax on his own quest of Revenge before being directed to the Coliseum the same place that toah haa hoped to find pterodax all across the universe the order of manui launched their prize attacks on the Brotherhood of makuda and used their allies to conquer key positions the Brotherhood was taken unaware and lost their footing in much of the lands though managed to keep up a resistance effort as battles raged from NRA to the southern Islands the order of manui began to claim victory one by one it was at this time that TOA helrick began to set her grand plan into to motion fortifying the city of metroui with large walls and Sentinels at every Coastline transforming it into a fortress despite the complaints of taga vakama and Duma the fortification continued and helrick ordered double agents on stealth to begin leaking rumors that the great furnace on metui was being converted into producing a virus that could destroy makuda armor luring a final battle to metroui with the main makuda fortress on destral Under Siege and makuda Trix tricked into rushing to teleport their armies to metroui the ultimate battle to end the war was about to begin back in the city of metroui the toam Mari and toah haa were still locked in combat decimating most of the city in their wake as their fight brought them to the archives koalas activated his mask of Rahi control as a desperate measure summoning a massive Rahi Beast to erupt from the pavement and attack the toam Mari acting fast toah Hal blasted koalas with a stream of water which proved to be a fatal error for the enraged Rahi Broke Free from koala's control ramp enging through the streets of the city putting aside their personal feelings in this crisis the toam Mari and haga reluctantly work together to subdue the Beast teaming up to beat it back to the archives and sealing it deep underground as the 11 battle weoa stood around the unconscious Beast the toah haa had enough time to explain to the toari what was going on and what their true mission was as they detailed the toan noa's daring battles in the core of the universe to fight for the great spirit the hagga revealed that the true secrets of the cosmos and its workings were somewhere beneath their feet in a place that no TOA matorin or taga had ever been right now they had reason to believe makuda pterodax had reached that place and if they were right it may have already been too late and so after hours of planning and half a day to convince the taga to support their Endeavor the toam Mari and toah haa finally work together to create an entrance to the Coliseum and as the haa descended Into Darkness They begged the toari to stay behind for they were the last line of defense against against makuda pterodax should the hagga fail and pterodax were to escape reluctantly agreeing to sit out the fight below the Coliseum Jer and his companions watched noric lead his team of toah haa into the tunnel as the entrance sealed behind them just then a mysterious stranger materialized behind the toari carrying the Golden Heart of the vizak The Stranger introduced herself as jok agent of the order of manui and bid the toari on a dire mission to summon the scourge of spiders to be trapped in their final resting place this heart of the vizak had been obtained by the toan NOA for the scroll of preparations months ago and now was the time to use it refusing to leave metui undefended Jer bid hooki and kongu farewell to guard the city while he Holly and nuparu ventured to idex to summon the hord meanwhile toah helrick leader of the order of manui had chosen that time to take drastic action traveling to the island of NRA one of the last strongholds of the makuda and home to the weapons cting NRA ghost matorin helrick arrived at the sight of a grand struggle between the Brotherhood of makuda and the order the makuda had kept a strong resistance of Roxi and exoa on NRA which had held for most of the war but after a recent climactic battle their Beach was now littered with dead Roxi and the order had claimed Victory now helrick wandered the Sands occasionally picking up a piece of Roxi armor studying it for a moment and then discarding it using the power of her mask of psychometry heler could read the past of an object simply by touching it her goal was simple since the rocki were created using energized protodermis the order wished to know every source of that substance used by the makuda so they could capture or destroy those sources without them no new Roxi could come into being and it would be far easier to defeat the Brotherhood by cutting off their source of power rather than beating them in battle as a vision flashed before hel's eyes she saw an island directly to their North and caught a glimp of the scientist makuda chirok standing before a silvery pool one that had a being emerging from it made of pure energized protodermis focusing on that location helrick visualized the path to the final pool and summoned the intelligent Rahi kongu who had agreed to temporarily break off his efforts to save the victims of the vizak long enough to help in the war in return helx had promised him that the vizak would never again be a threat to anyone else a mission that Jer and his companions were about to fulfill arriving on the Mysterious Island helrick and kangu weily ventured forth seeking the final source of raki their destination at first seemed uninhabited but that illusion didn't last long Helk spotted things skullking among the rocks they weren't matorin or Rahi but looked like something in between something was very wrong on this island and the air ground and even the inhabitants all felt off somehow in a way that made even kitonga uneasy there were no buildings on this island just a large Central Cavern entrance that beckoned the two Warriors forward deep within this cave helx and kangu Came Upon a vast Lake of energized protodermis the largest source in all of existence rising from the center was a figure of a living being a head two arms and a torso ending in the lake itself its features were barely there and its substance was the silver color of energized protodermis this was a mysterious protodermis entity who claimed to be a raw force of nature born of creation and destruction this entity explained how it had once lived in the core of a planet until one day a portion of its substance forced its way onto the surface it did not take long for the inhabitants of that world to discover its power or to begin Waring over it but some of what makes up its form was taken and placed inside the maturan universe and so escaped before cataclysm overtook that world this this was of course the events of the shattering in the core War for spheris Magna spoken for the first time in the murin universe now the energized protodermis had taken on a will of its own experimenting on the island around it and even allowing others like the toonova to make use of its power if it found their intentions intriguing enough as helis threatened to destroy the entity of living energized protodermis it only laughed bubbling up and threatening to Cascade downwards towards the two Warriors in a way meanwhile back on the makuda fortress on destral Trix rushed out of the prison chamber to investigate Mazika and TOD Duck's attack leaving Von to wander free around the Fortress himself reaching a sub basement Von encountered a kohi olac mask of dimensional gates in front of a large number of stasis tubes which to his horror held twisted and dark versions of takua fully converted to Darkness and plucked from the Multiverse of Madness to serve the Brotherhood in the war the or Triax was able to unleash the shadow takova Army on the attackers Mazika and todu burst in exposing Trix armor to a Proto steel eating virus and inating his anti- dermis cloud with todu staff killing the makuda where he stood as todu surveyed the shadow takova Army he ordered Mazika to kill Von but seeing as Von did not appear to be allied with the makuda Mazika spared his life allowing Von to escape with the kohi alac to a random destination in the universe fleeing through the portal V on left the Fortress and with their Duty completed todu told maika where to find the cardui entrance who left to seek out voltr immediately as the Fortress began to crumble from their attack most of the Shadow takova were crushed by Rubble where they lay but unbeknownst to Tod duck a few managed to escape plotting their next moves in service of pterodax while all this was happening back on the island of Zia ancient encountered the shadowed one knelt over a small box of viruses laughing to himself for the body of a dead Vortex besides him the crystalline protodermis covering his face the shadowed one then explained to ancient that long ago a makuda by the name of cool had visited Zia with a stash of viruses looking to combine them into the Ultimate Weapon the official story was that kjol had succumbed to his own viruses but secretly ancient knew that the order of manui had him killed but the viruses were never recovered trying not to look as worried as he felt ancient attempted to convince the shattered one to Ransom the viruses off or give them to the order but the shadowed one took him by surprise stating that the viruses were the original mix that pterodax had used to overthrow the great spirit manui and that a secret shared was no longer a secret in an instant two beams of power lanced out from the shadowed one's eyes striking ancient the veteran dark Hunter vanished disintegrated by the force of the blast for the shadowed one was willing to kill even his most trusted advisor to keep this a secret Weeks Later pridak conveyed everything he had learned of pterodax plan to his fellow baraki and so Kalma mantax and El traveled to Zia hoping to strike an alliance with the shadow one who they believed to be in possession of some sort of virus left by makuda kojol ages ago confronting the shadowed one the baraki stated that if the virus was onia he had it but only the baraki had the information on how to use it gained from prx's knowledge of pterodax his grand plan and so the shadowed one agreed to meet prak on neutral ground in the abandoned land of carani planning for dark hunters and baraki to walk side by side into a new dawn meanwhile back in metui the city continued to be fortified for battle objecting to the order's goals to have metroui be stage one for the final battle hooki and kongu were swiftly removed by the order of manui temporarily imprisoned so the order could continue its work unaware of the commotion above the toah haa continued to delve deeper into the catacombs beneath the Coliseum traversing into the inner sanctums of the brain of the robot just then in a crash of tearing metal and dust makuda miserix plunged into the tunnels teleporting directly beneath the Coliseum and confronting the toah haa after briefly discussing their intentions to beat pterodax in his own Lair the toah haa agreed to team up with Miser despite the protestations of Zack Tan's floating head in the Fishbowl whose pleas for the tahaka to kill Miser were ignored after what felt like hours of travel the tunnel at last came to a stop it ended in a midsize chamber lined with sophisticated Machinery but that wasn't what captured the attention of the hagga no they were focused on the two corpses in the room above them was a large Scroll of text and gaki could only make out one phrase Bara Magna scraping off a piece of the armor of the long dead Warriors the TOA and Miser were amazed to find their armor was not made of protodermis and the Warriors sported mostly organic decayed tissue since all things within the matorin universe were made of protodermis the mysterious corpses had to be from somewhere else somewhere older outside their Known World these were of course the bodies of glatorian Warriors who had somehow made it into the brain of the robot during the shattering but were trapped in the catacombs beneath the robot and as The hagga Miser and zachan ventured forwards they prepared to confront the darkness of pterodax meanwhile Jer Holly and nuparu set foot on the land of Ida placing the heart of the vizar in the center of a massive volcano the toam Mari prepared to summon the millions of visz from around the universe trapping them there just then taked do slunk from the Shadows revealing that he had been following them from some time trapping all three toam Mari in his hynotic wayway takadox forced them to stand still on the island as a vizer approached stealing their boat and stowing away for further exploits as the horde of vizak approached and the toari stood helpless on the beach all seemed lost but just then a voice began to Rattle through jer's mind taunting him he recognized it as the voice of makuda pterodax himself who for reasons unknown wished for the toari to be freed of their hypnosis laughing at the TOA for making such good statues pterodax sent a sharp jolt of pain through jer's mind leaving him with The Parting words it would be a shame if pterodax didn't have a chance to see jer's expression as he found out the truth as the pain cut through the fog of takado dox's hypnosis Jer awoke and with no time to even try and figure out why makuda pterodax had saved them he quickly shook Holly and nuparu awake and as they fled the island the volcanoes erupted behind them instantly killing every single vizeran and decimating one of the most powerful armies of the makuda finally completing one of the major tasks on the scroll of preparations back on the mysterious island of energized protodermis toah hel and kangu prepared to face the wave of the mutagenic material just then a portal opened in front of them and Von rushed out fleeing from the destral makuda fortress's destruction the M half beinging had opened the portal to a random location which just so happened to be directly in front of helx and kangu just as they fled the wave of protodermis charging through Von's portal helx redirected its location to pterodax layer below the Coliseum seeking to confront the dark lord once and for all as the portal closed behind them that left only vason holding the olac to his face as the wave of energized protodermis crashed towards him barely having a chance to speak Theon cried out as he was transformed by the protodermis fusing him to theack and granting him the innate ability to open transdimensional gates in an instant of Madness Von hurdled through the Multiverse and portals to other worlds began to rip open all across this universe and Beyond it was at this exact moment that axon and brutaka found themselves submerged in the pit of anti dermis to axon's horror and surprise the anti dermis had bonded with brutaka who already shared a unique connection to the Twisted essence of the makuda after his time on voan Nui brutal then began to speak but in a voice that was not his own and as brutaka seized axon in a grip of iron and burning touch he used his olac to open a portal to the catacombs beneath the Coliseum and in an instant axon and brutaka materialized before the toah haa makuda Miser and zachan followed directly by the materializing forms of toah helx and kangu there was only the briefest of moments for the stun Warriors to reunite for all around them the voice of makuda pterodax began to laugh in an instant a bolt of lightning arked out shattering brutaka Zac from makuda pterodax did not want them to be able to escape at the same moment a loud hum filled the room and Zack Tan's water tank shattered leaving the former paraka leader presumed dead for he had known too much of tera's plan the remaining combatants stood and faced the voice of pterodax and their own final battle was about to begin high above the catacombs below the Coliseum the final battle for the destiny War had begun surrounded by by towering walls with weapons mounted on the top of each metr Nui was converted to a full-on fortress weapons belching fire and smoke at the attackers ships flying the banner of the Brotherhood of makuda ringed the Island City while flying rocki assaulted from every direction firing bolts of energy from their stabs While others pounded on the walls in one section a portion of the wall had already crumbled and warriors fought in the Gap trying to keep the Invaders out by the time Jer Holly and Newar returned the battle was in full force and even hooki and kongu had been freed to defend against the brotherhood's forces allowing the toari to reunite at last inside the Coliseum taga vakama rushed to a secure room the chamber in which he housed the legendary kohi vahi mask of time he was halfway down the stairs when he heard the crash racing down vakama found a dozen heavily armed tomorin scattered like leaves in a windstorm the door to the chamber had crumpled and rusted with age and stepping through it was a being vakama hoped to never see again a little over a thousand years ago when he was still a TOA vakama had battled a being called vorak surrounded by a field that aged everything it touched vak now worked for the dark hunters and sought one thing in metroui the thing he now held in his great claw the kenoi mask of time looking back at vakama with contempt the dark Hunter Shrugged and left rapidly aging any order of Moni agent who tried to stop him resigned to the loss taga vakama rushed out of the Coliseum prepared to man the defenses and muster the armies to battle with all the strength he had and all around him Jer watched as his City crumbled under the power of the brotherhood's forces in his day as the captain of the takuro Guard Jer had honed his mind with battle strategies and it was clear that the order had badly underestimated the ferocity of the makuda attack as he watched The Defenders of the wall fell back and the Invaders began pouring through metroui the city of Legends was almost lost and would take a true miracle for the brotherhood's forces to be beaten back part seven Matan Nui Rising as the climactic battle began both above and below the city of metroui the toan NOA continued on their singular quest to reach the codr and reawaken manui once and for all within the swamps of cardui with takua Titan TOA of light and Shadow on their side the to anua prepared for one final battle against the Brotherhood of makuta's most powerful enforcers meanwhile ikra still guarded by TOA ignika telepathically sent a message to his shadow Muran servant voltr to rendevu and cardui and cause a distraction to allow iarax to escape soaring into cardui vraz arrived in the sky fighter unaware he was being tailed by his mortal enemy Mazika who had been following him ever since gaining directions from todu and encountering Von in makuta's destral Fortress as MAA moved to intercept voltr he managed to distract the Shadow matorin from his mission to help IX Escape consumed by rage at the sight of his mortal enemy voltr changed course making a beine for Mazika just then a mysterious dimensional Gateway opened between them an after effect of the many portals opened by the crazed veson in an instant both Mazika and volz were sent kening through the Multiverse hurdling towards another alternate universe while Von disappeared into yet another portal his Newfound Powers spiraling out of control seeing that his distraction did not come to pass makuda karak sought to distract TOA igna in some other way to be able to free himself as he taunted the silent Warrior iarax realized that the ignika did not know it was designed with a countdown that signaled the time when the mask would absorb all life in the universe after krax informed ignika that this countdown would end with the kohi coloring change from its current state of silver to pure black ignika forgot all about his prisoner and sped down into the swamp to warn the toan NOA back in the swamps below cardui tahu and the others collected their six keystones reading inscriptions deta on the stones as instructions to unlock the codr and open the heart of manui at this moment TOA ignika arrived and told the TOA using his new knowledge of spoken language that he was not simply wearing the mask of life he truly was the essence of the kohi ignika and on an Unstoppable countdown to destroy the universe even beyond that takua added that should they succeed in Awakening manui devastating energy storms would decimate the entire region of cardui leaving only the kodra as a safe space refusing to give up tahoo came up with a daring plan sneak inside the kodri use the mask of life to awaken manui and somehow escaped faster than the storms could hit and with that the ultimate battle began clashing through the sky and spiraling down to the swamp all eight TOA fought all8 makuda with iarax and mutron joining the fight words cannot describe the immense scale of this Clash of Epic Proportions so I won't even try as the battle outside the codr raged on Taho Slipped Away way to unlock the force field around it allowing the TOA to enter the mysterious structure while takova and TOA ignika kept the makuda busy unbeknown to them makuda and tros managed to slip in behind them trailing the TOA as they began to discover the secrets of their Origins the great spirit and the nature of matanu himself inside the structure the TOA found six giant light stones and six Pathways leading off in different directions Lewa pohatu and kopaka Then Came Upon three Fantastical Vehicles sporting technology the likes of which they had never seen before just as pohatu and Lewa claimed their vehicles seeing them as the perfect exit from Ki an rushed in seizing the final vehicle and blasting out of the kodra with Lea and Batu in Pursuit as the rest of the combatants made their way into the kodra ikx lashed out with Shadow energy threatening to destroy the kodri to stop the TOA from Awakening matui takua left to try and restore the shadow maturan to their original state while onua Gali ignika and tahu tried to figure out how to awaken manui within the structure the toan NOA came to a tragic realization the kodx had been intended for them to shock the great spirit awake with their powers but that would take time and with the damage iax had done to the structure there was only one way they could awaken manui if TOA ignika sacrificed himself using the energy of the mask of life to power the field himself initially lashing out in anger at the suggestion and even attempting to kill taku TOA ignika only slowed after being reminded of matoro sacrifice and what it truly meant to be a hero to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the universe the makuda were attracted to the noise of cracking metal and goras Gava and vampa were sent to investigate surprised to find iarax destroying the kodra the makuda and Shadow Maturin began to attack him for deviating from pterodax grand plan to allow the TOA to awaken manui as this epic battle of makuda versus makuda commenced another Skirmish erupted in the skies Lewa and pohatu used their battle vehicles to chase entr while kopaka flew after them looking to regain control of his vessel in a swift attack they expelled entros from his craft sending him hurdling to the ground while kopaka seized control of his ship back in the battle with goras vampa and iarax entros and mutron quickly joined the fight to preserve pterodax his will and in a brutal attack they blasted iarax apart mid teleport sending each of his atoms scattered Across the Universe and killing the so-called leader of the Brotherhood once and for all in the skies above above cardui takua encountered the scientific assistant vcon who told him of the clak Rahi and the Curative powers of its Sonic screen rounding up as many Shadow matorin as he could capture takua brought the aorin to the recently captured clack where they began to slowly be cured of their Shadow just in time for aired Shadow Maturin to explain that the makuda actually wanted the TOA to win and awaken manui for reasons unknown rushing to warn his friends takova made a beine for the kodra unaware that makuda kka had overheard his Revelations about the energy storms and began to slowly piece together the true death of pterodax his plan as takua hurdled downwards to the swamps he was attacked by chroo and bidd using his power of light to rent holes in their armor and force their anti- dermis Essence out giving into his battle rage and Shadow side takua fired devastating blasts of Shadow from every limb tearing the Shadow murin from the backs of the makuda and focusing his power on burning the makuda within as Kaka caught the murin as they fell he managed to Cal down takua bringing everyone back inside the kodri to discuss the plan to a reawaken moui despite taka's warnings that the makuda wanted this to happen the to anua felt that there was no other way to achieve their Destiny and so loading into the vehicles and Gathering as many murin as they could the toan NOA prepared to leave cardui just as TOA ignika hurdled towards the light stones to reawaken manui as the toan NOA fled the kodx makuda Crea caught up to his fellow makuda desperate to save his compan canons despite not agreeing with pterodax Mission K still felt respect and camaraderie with his fellow makuda and felt compelled to warn them of their fate for if pterodax truly wished for the toan NOA to reawaken manui then he knew the energy storms takua spoke of would materialize before them ripping the makuda apart in his horror Kaa realized that all eight of the strongest lieutenants for pterodax had been sent to a suicide mission as the pieces of pterodax plan fell into place catching up to the finale IAL gor asked first Kaa begged her to listen to reason and help him convince the makuda to abandon cardui and save themselves but seeing kka as a deterrent to pterodax his grand plan gorast activated her mask power making Kaa lose control of his power of intangibility and ripping his body apart from within and just like that makuda kka died failing to save the universe warn the TOA or even save his companions at the hands of which he had just been killed inside the kodri TOA ignika began the process to sacrifice himself channeling energy into the great spirit at this very instant in the lair beneath the Coliseum makuda pterodax was taunting those who tried to stop him immediately sensing the power of the ignika fueling the body of the great spirit once more as makuda miserix lashed out at the Machinery in vain he was restrained by axon brutaka and helx who realized he was damaging the very mind of the great spirit itself only chuckling makuda pterodax cast miserix into a powerful illusion transforming the enraged Dragon into a painting of himself in the same instant makuda pterodax cast the toah haa into a powerful illusion one where the battle was over pterodax had been defeated and there would only be peace and happiness wherever they looked as the toah haa happily sauntered out of the chamber pterodax then turned his attention to the remaining foes teleporting brutaka axon and kangu out of existence to the far Southern reaches of the universe and now all that was left was TOA helx taunting the first TOA pterodax promised to keep her in prison for all eternity in the mind of the great spirit sharing his plans dreams hopes and Ambitions with her for as long as she remained sane anyone else would have been filled with Dread at pterodax his words but not H's instead she saw an opportunity she would be alive her memories would be her own and she would be in the center of pterodax his thoughts right then she made a vow she would not break she would not crumble before the weight of his darkness no matter what she would defy him and somehow find a way to help others do the same as helrick promised pterodax that this wasn't over TOA ignika committed the ultimate sacrifice in the heart of cardui kickstarting the heart of the great spirit robot only golly noticed a flash of Darkness slip through the cracks between the koki and naika and there was little time to ponder that as the energy storms began to restart all around around cardui realizing that pterodax had betrayed them the remaining members of the Brotherhood of makuda tried fruitlessly to escape save goras who was stunned and driven mad by this treachery and so each makuda was disintegrated one by one with pterodax as main competition all taken out leaving him the sole living makuda in the universe climbing onto their vehicles the toan NOA soared out of cardui passing the Clack creature which cured takua just as the Dome was enveloped by light for the great spirit matui had awoken again meanwhile back in the Grand City of metroui the battle continued to rage on just then all around the combatants everything began to change the Stars brightened overhead the breeze turned warm the Earth shook in a gentle Tremor somehow all the warriors were certain the great spirit had awakened beyond the city walls a storm Rose tossing the makuda fleet about like toys yet that did nothing to deter the Roxi who kept on coming they had broken through the walls in four places rampaging through tetu just then vakama and Jer put a daring plan into motion hailing crua TOA of Sonics they convinced him to cycle through a series of Sonic frequencies before he found just the right one to awaken the Boro that had been soared in the archives below metroui and so the ground itself erupted before the ROI and hundreds of Boro poured out with a singular mission to reach and cleanse the island of manui as the rocki attacked the borak the city slowly shook from a series of explosions and a cry echoed from the highest towers of ketu there were fighter Vehicles inbound Holly looked up to see three incredibly fast aircraft soar over the city bankas one and head back to where the ships waited one slowed and dipped its wing to her and she recognized phatu in the Pilot's seat the toan NOA had come home peppering the rocki with blasts of light from their vehicles and decimating what remained of the Brotherhood ships the toan NOA and takua had arrived to turn the tide and finally the storm was over the Brotherhood ships had sunk to the bottom of the silver sea and while the walls around the city had been battered down the rubble was littered with dead Kata and shattered rocki armor metroui was safe and as the toan NOA confirmed the great spirit had awakened the power of the Brotherhood of makuda was broken for all time tagad Duma and taga vakama appeared side by side to announce that tomorrow would a Citywide day of celebration in the Coliseum only toah Hol stood aside despite all the wounded and dying Among The Defenders she could not help but feel it had all been a little too easy true there had been some unexpected help the airships The Boro the storm but they had faced an army of rosi something told her they should not have won at least not with so much of the city still intact and as she returned to Aid to the wounded and shook off these troubling thoughts she failed to hear the sound of dark laughter on the wind outside of the murin universe beneath the endless ocean in the heart of a massive cave energy pulses course through Rock machines which sat immobile for a thousand centuries shuddered and slowly moved shaking the universe power raced through long disused conduits and stream further and further from cardui while rippled around the barren island of matui stripped of all life and vegetation by borac hordes powerful Quakes shook the Earth and massive megalit of mountain and Bedrock crashed into the ocean an immense Chasm ripped upward through the middle of the doomed Island each side sliding toward the ocean as something massive pushed up from below far away to the south and east and west water foamed and boiled as underwater shock waves spread from the movement Beneath the Sea gigantic whirlpools formed and disappeared the sea itself heaved up towards the sky two halves of the island churned already frothing Waters as they slid apart and dissolved into the Maelstrom a tremendous head made of metallic protodermis Rose from beneath the shattered remains of the once beautiful Island water soil and rock cascaded off its face as it Rose higher and higher into the sky Titanic shoulders breached the ocean and an equally immense chest pivoted upwards slowly the robot climbed to its feet and towered above the clouds for the first time in a 100,000 years yellow light gleamed from its eyes as it surveyed the ocean below matui has risen colossal eyes flashed for the briefest of moments before turning dark within the grand Coliseum of metroui tagad Duma gave a thrilling speech praising the exploits of the toan NOA in their efforts to reawaken manui as he proclaimed that the age of Darkness was over and they could finally live in the light his words were cut off by a fleeting shadow that passed over the twin moons and an ice cold breeze cut through the Coliseum high above the stars of metroui were darting across the sky spinning wildly it looked as if the universe itself was being un done and remade at the same time slowly the Stars began to realign coming to rest in a pattern both bizarre and horribly familiar from random stars in the sky they had arranged themselves into a shape the shape of the Mask of Shadows symbol of makuda pterodax as kopaka slowly began to realize why makuda pterodax wanted them to reawaken manui a dark humorless laugh boomed from every stone every star from the ground the Sky the ocean matorin huddled in fear even as the TOA Drew their weapons as tahoo yelled into the sky promising to fight back against the makuda pterodax only continued to laugh explaining that when the tanova awakened manui the anti-der spirit of makuda pterodax had been in the brain of the robot already and managed to slip in and take the place of Maui's spirit and so the toan NOA had awakened Maui's body with makuda pterodax Spirit taking his place and to the TOA and assembled crowd the voice of pterodax chuckled how could they fight the air they breathe the ground they walked on for pterodax was no longer a physical opponent to the Denis of the Maturin Universe he was their God omnipotent and all powerful the only threat to pterodax now was the spirit of manui himself and as the great spirit robot's eyes turned red the ground beneath the toa's feet shook violently as a surge of energy flowed through all existence outside the robot the mask of life was ejected from the murin universe carrying the life force and spirit of manui and as the matorin TOA and the Order of manui prepared for an eternity of misery under this rign of Shadows their only hope now was the spirit of manui somewhere in the endless void between planets the mask of Life flew free of the bounds of the matorin universe it had turned from Silver back to Gold once more it carried within it the Mind and Spirit of manui on a journey whose destination no one could know but if anyone were able to hear the being within the mask one statement would have been clear ringing through the void like the tolling of a bell I will return previously on Bionicle retold chapter 8 the ignition Trilogy part three Rising thousands of years ago battles raged across the planet of spheris Magna in the cataclysmic core War shattering the planet in three chunks and decimating the population of agori villagers and glatorian warriors in this extinction level event scientist Kings known as great beings devised a last ditch attempt at survival sending a colossal great spirit matui robot hurling into deep space to survey and collect data on other worlds societies and Technology with the hopes of returning after thousands of years to repair the planet thanks to a rogue great being the inhabitants of this microcosm of a universe gain Sensi and over these Thousand Years pav their own path forwards in the legend of Bionicle as the evil makuda pterodax overthrew the modui Consciousness governing the robot and the matorin universe plunged Into Darkness and suffering it's time to shift our Focus to the now Barren remains of spheris Magna and how this post-apocalyptic World evolved since the shattering this is Bionicle retold [Music] chapter nine rebirth part one Sands of baram Magna Welcome to the wastelands of baram Magna once a thriving Rich world full of life and resources baram Magna is now a husk of its former glory with scarce food and water only the strongest and most resilient managed to carve a life amidst the desert a gory villagers struggling to survive were aided and protected by stronger glatorian Warriors who defended their Elemental tribes from the dangers that lurk in the Sands the deadly Warrior faction of scrawl managed to coexist with these other villagers forming a unique culture and Society of their own to the far north of the planet treacherous mountains Rose from the desert and icy Wilderness filled with the remnants of the great beings experiments like the shape-shifting beta robots programmed to instantly kill any being holding a weapon even further north lay the mysterious Valley of the maze an ancient Fortress of the great beings from long before the shattering during the final stages of the core War the great beings ordered the Mata to construct an impenetrable Labyrinth around their Fortress complex designed to keep the element Lords from acquiring the ultimate power sourced housed inside as some of the most powerful beings on spus Magna the element Lords survived the shattering and were trapped for thousands of years somewhere in the northern regions if you recall from the prologue the element Lords were the original rulers of spherus Magna created by the great beings to have ultimate control over each of the elemental tribes of course they're also the ones that started the core war and because of them the entire planet was split apart so essentially these element Lords are power hungry and will do anything to regain the control they once had over the agori and Goran now just a bit of a behindth scenes info here as well now the element Lords were supposed to be the main villains of the Bionicle 2010 storyline but unfortunately since Bionicle was cancelled they didn't really end up doing anything and for the most part their fate is left pretty much unresolved we'll touch on this a lot more when we actually get into the epilogue for bionical retold so stay tuned for that if you want to hear more about where the element Lords were probably going all across the planet of baram Magna remnants of experiments left behind by the great beings littered the landscape largest of which were the scattered body parts of the first prototype robot activated and destroyed years ago when its power source grew unstable colossal limbs joints and Machinery stood Stark against the Desert Sands a reminder of the once great technology this world boasted directly following the shattering a contingent of water trib aori led by the glatorian TX and Kina ventured far south to the Sea of liquid sand While most of their tribe perished on rout those who survived established the village of tajun and created their own isolated Society there likewise the ice tribe migrated to the icy kinox Village amidst the white quartz mountains creating vast mines and villages within the ice and discovering Rich deposits of a precious metallic element known as aidian valued for its endurance and ability to withstand sand erosion and rust soon all aspects of society began to use aidian for their weapons armor helmets and even Vehicles meanwhile the agori of the Jungle tribe were embroiled in a vast political conflict with the agori population deeply divided between those who supported the war and those who did not thus their Elders issued a challenge whichever faction built the quickest and best settlement would be allowed to live in the small pocket of jungle on Bara Magna however the elders carefully arranged for neither side to have sufficient resources forcing them to turn to each other for help this cooperation healed the rift in the tribe as they work to create the twin Villages of tsara taking refuge in the shade underneath the fingers of the Colossal prototype robot lastly the fire tribe boasting the largest surviving population on Bara Magna took up Res resence in volcanus a pit of cooled lava that provided shelter and vast spaces to construct Villages and trading outposts across the sand far beyond the Civilized pockets of society the open desert was the home of the sand tribe who lived in the ruins foraging for food and mentally regressing to the Primal animalistic vorox and zesk north of the black Spike mountains the scrawl race and their Rock tribe following established a secluded Empire only venturing to civilized lands on occasions and following the genocide of the race after the great dreaming plague the only two remaining iron agori salon and torus the game desert Bandits praying on Travelers in their makeshift vehicles and BattleCraft soon the four Civilized Tribes of fire water jungle and Ice began fighting over resources such as the aidian pedal by the isce agori mettis seeking to avert Another War a group of glatorian led by the grizzled cor War veteran cavis developed a system of Arena matches using new glatorian Fighters instead of fighting in allout Wars Villages could challenge each other by sending forth Champions the grand AO Arena a free City where combatants fought one-on-one to determine the Victor with a strict no killing rule as this system prevented the needless deaths of both agori and glatorian all four Civilized Tribes agreed and the inhabitants of bar Magna entered a new phase of their lives part two fall and Rise of the scrawl as the agorian Goran established their Arena system and began to settle into the four separate Villages the scrawl Warriors led by the last surviving member of an elite breed of scrawl named Tuma were cut off from their Homeland after the global disaster of the shadowing following this the scrawl resolved to tame the lands in which they found themselves the volcanic unstable and dangerous territory north of the black Spike mountains although some parts of it remain too treacherous even for the sroll to explore after tens of thousands of years they became the Undisputed masters of their empire the scrawl ventured onwards conquering more and more land and delving deeper into unexplored regions of baram Magna tens of thousands of years after the shattering a scrw patrol led by the warrior brinar searched the black Spike Mountain for supplies as the snowstorm around them increased in ferocity Brar slowly lost contact with all other scrawl Legions and to his horror He Came Upon all his allies brutally slaughtered told born limb to limb by mysterious attackers for the scrawl patrols had inadvertently awoken the beta silent lethal shape shifters who struck from thin air and vanished again as another recap from the prologue the beta were robots created by the great beings to seek out and kill anyone holding a weapon on spherus Magna as part of a last ditch attempt to stop the core War unfortunately the beta proved to be a little bit too effective and eventually we're about to decimate the entire population of the planet when the Great beings tried to shut them down the AI programming of the beta became too smart locking out the great beings from their systems and continuing to operate to fulfill their prime directive kill anyone they see holding a weapon after the planet split into three chunks most of the beta were left stranded on the Northern regions of baram Magna where of course that's where the scraw Just rediscovered them today as Brar returned to the scrawl Fortress to report his findings Tuma rushed to contact all other scraw Outpost and heard nothing but silence realizing all other outposts had been systematically destroyed by the Mata which had followed brinar back to the scrawl Empire fortresses Tuma LED Legions of scrawl out to combat the threat in Desperate battles and surprise ambushes scrawl died on mass and even small tactical advantages gained by Warriors like strus who discovered the Mata were machines were not enough to hold them back in a violent Massacre most of the scrawl armies took refuge in a forest of trees only to find the trees themselves were shape-shifted Bera leaving only Tuma strus brinar and a small Legion of scrawl left as they hold up in the remaining scrawl Fortress for the night Tuma sent out search parties to retrieve food and supplies as one single search party returned with firewood Tuma realized too late that the firewood itself was beta in Disguise and in a vicious attack the scrawl Empire was nearly completely decimated with Tuma forced to set the stronghold on fire to temporarily trap the beta inside and so the beaten weaken scrawl were LED South towards baram Magna Villages forced to abandon their vast Empire among the mountains in the aftermath The psionics imbued Sisters of the scrawl only female members of the scrawl species established a separate Haven from the males and lived in isolation gradually descending into myth and Legend as witches lurking in the shadows as the remnants of the scrawl established a new base in the southern civilized lands of bar Magna Tuma began to make plans to conquer the remaining four tribes so they would be better prepared for the beta when they eventually arrived to track their migratory patterns and hunting capabilities the scrawl established regular vorox runs in which they LED captured vorox into the black Spike mountains as bait for the beta during this time the scrawl also entered the glatorian arena matches winning resources and training their Superior Warriors in preparation for their coming Conquest as the years went on new glor were born and warriors like vasus and Galu were trained by the veteran glatorian cavus who eventually passed away of natural causes in a freak vorox attack the leader of the volcanus fire tribe was killed by Wild vorox and the agori ranu eventually came to lead the tribe becoming a devoted and respected Elder across all the tribes during the many glatorian matches a young trainee from the village of jungle named Gres managed to defeat Kina in a match Rising quickly to prominence as one of the most promising young War Warriors from the jungle Village of tsara culture evolved and glatorian forged their own paths over the years with a subculture of high octane Racers and vehicle Pilots developing to win resources and settle their own disputes through vehicle combat even some glatorian like pidas gave up their Arena post to participate in these races which stretched across the Desert Sands and provided a source of entertainment danger and even fun for sori and Goran in the unexplored regions of the desert the iron aori s continued his life as a bandit clashing with roaming parties of bone Hunters less civilized theori who chose a life of bounty hunting and piracy traveling in pths eventually as the scraw military force grew sad was recruited as a slaver for the scrawl capturing any aori traveling alone and forcing them into servitude to the scraw Empire in the meantime the water glatorian Kina discovered an underground laboratory near tajun and made it her Hideway little did she know but this was a secret laboratory of the great beings and inside was proof of the murin universe and sensient life beyond Bara Magna as Kina delved deeper into this conspiracy her dreams of one day leaving a planet and meeting other sensient life forms beyond their Barren desert were scoffed at by the other agori and glatorian who dismissed her as a mad conspiracy theorist as time went on and culture further evolved vehicle combat was factored into the great glatorian tournaments which became more and more of a Cornerstone of society one glatorian Warrior a fire tribe combatant named malum began to become more and more unstable beating the jungle tribe glatorian vastest senseless in an arena match only to be stopped by the ice latorian stri ranu and AAR talked to malum about his growing rage worried that he may cause the downfall of the Arena system but malum refused to change his ways and in a fateful match against St malm's rage consumed him and after attempting to kill the ice tribe Warrior malum was only stopped when the rookie Gres and Veteran fire glatorian akar stepped in to stop him after enox filed a formal protest against malum Elder agori ranu was forced to banish malum to the wastelands where he encountered a group of vorox and defeated the alpha male becoming their new pack leader as the Goran evolved in their society grew that scrawl Reed their blades and honed their Warriors prepping to seize all of Southern baram Magna for themselves in a grand defense against the beta part three fall of AO as the glorian and aori settled into life in the Sands one such aori a water tribe member named Barracks began regular Scavenging Expeditions across the desert searching for armor and weapons he could use in the arena to counter even the power of the glatorian over one of these many Expeditions Barrack was saved by Gres stra and the water glatorian TX after being assaulted by bone Hunters who reassured the agori that payment was not necessary when it came to saving lives just as the group was attacked by a pack of vicious vorox the creatures mysteriously retreated revealing that the exiled disgraced malum was now leader of most vorox packs and had chosen to spare the lives of the three glatorian and bearers back in the ATO Arena Gres returned to face off against a scrawl Warrior who had challenged his village of tsara for control over a Desert Oasis despite fighting bravely Gres was soundly defeated by the scrawl who claimed another victory for his tribe in a series of major successes for the scrawl race over time as matches continued and battles were fought and one some glatorian began to grow sick of the conflict with akar becoming increasingly bitter in his role as a glatorian and Strack growing more and more violent and Reckless losing his morals and even becoming willing to sell out his fellow glatorian to gain more riches for himself scrawl Warriors and search parties became more and more aggressive blatantly stealing from the agori and looting their trading Caravans defeating all those who opposed them in the arena and as Kina akar and Gres began to form strong bonds of friendship ship they grew wary of the scrawl forces who took what they wished descended into the arena and beat back anyone who dared challenge them meanwhile in the scrawl Village of roxus Brar was on a regular Patrol North when he and his companions were ambushed by Beta who had begun their migration South far sooner than anticipated panicking Brar rushed to war Tuma who pushed up his plans and ordered the scraw to attack AO the next day to prepare for the oncoming beta Onslaught and unite the Warriors of Bara Magna against this threat unbeknown to the glatorian and agori there was a traitor in their midst the opportunistic ice agori mettis who seized his chance to gain riches for himself and sold out his fellow companions to the scraw detailing their hideouts plans and locations to Tuma claiming to know the secret weakness of the beta mettis forced Tuma to accept him as his partner in the hopes that he could seize control with the scraw the next day the grand tournament in the free city of ATO began and glatorian from allaround journeyed to the arena Magna to participate Some glatorian Like Water Tribe fighter Trix were unhappy to be there as the water tribe agori had been continually beset by bone hunters and all their Fighters were in the arena leaving the agori defenseless others like St were anxious to fight and prove their worth training endlessly with other glatorian to hone his skills as the glatorian trained and prepared for the match the jungle aori tardu took the chance to wander outside the arena exploring the ancient ruins near the city in these ruins tardo discovered a mysterious metal map detailing vast Island fears a city within the brain of a robot and the enigmatic red star at the center of it all consumed by curiosity tardu returned to the arena to share his findings with Gres only for the two to be interrupted by the disgraced glatorian malum who had arrived at the arena to warn his fellow glatorian the scrawl were marching to the arena on mass and not even malm's vorox hordes could stop stop them tardu took the chance to quickly leave the arena Gathering two other agori cus and Kerbal to leave with him setting off to investigate the great beings carvings on the red star and the murin universe after ranu and the other Elders were quickly warned tarx reacted fast Gathering the glatorian there to defend AO until the agori could leave and make it to safety despite this defense effort the scrawl numbers were overwhelming and the glorian were forced to escape and hide in caves at least half a doz glatorian were killed in the battle and many agori were scattered or lost the scrawl had claimed their first major victory upsetting the social structure of the glatorian fighters and many of the Warriors are forced to scatter and regroup away from the arena part four riddle of the great beings meanwhile the trio of agori seeking the great beings knowledge ventured further into unknown lands unaware of the fall of AO and destruction of the Cornerstone of agory civilization as tardu cus and Kerbal ventured into the white quartz mountains in a desperate search for answers in a way off Bara Magna they stumbled into a den of vicious iron wolves just as the animals prepared to strike they were called off by their Master the ancient loran surel who had been Gravely injured during the core war and presumed dead over the thousands of years spent alone in the mountains sell managed to train a pack of iron wolves keeping a watchful eye on the trapped element Lords who had just managed to escape and break free from their prisons begging the agori to turn back sell warned them that the element Lords were seeking the great beings Valley of the maze hoping to gain the power of the mysterious energy source held within for themselves and reestablish their rule over the planet before sirell and the agori had a chance to converse more the element Lord of ice who had been watching them from afar seized this chance to bury them in an avalanche triggering a massive cataclysm of snow that was stopped last minute by the element Lord of fire who took the chance to take out his competition and attacked the Lord of ice with a devastating Firestorm as the two Elemental beings clashed the agori fled sell opting to stay behind and protect his Wolfpack leaving the white quartz mountains and descending into the Eerie Forest of blades the three agori ventured onwards passing by the petrified Statues of once proud Warriors forever fused to Nature by the Lord of jungle at the sight of this gruesome Forest Kerbal decided to leave and return to civilization bidding the remaining two agori farewell and so tardu and cus ventured onwards alone determined to seek out the true nature of the great beings and save their people the moment the two agori stepped foot in the forest of blades they were seized by plant life revealing the element Lord of jungle who had been driven mad from isolation seeking to Forever take the aorus trophies and merge them with the forest the Lord of jungle rambled onwards and out of nowhere Kerbal returned with a torch lashing out at the jungle vines and allowing his friends to escape rejoining their party after his change of heart Kerbal led the group onwards reaching the river dormas where the three agori were attacked by the ele Lord of water who believed they knew how to access the secret entrance to the Valley of the maze just as they were about to drown the element Lord of ice froze the river challenging the Lord of water in a duel as the trio aori fled they were saved by the element Lord of rock who lifted them onto the river bank and question them about the Valley of the maze after tardu revealed their Noble intentions to save their R the element Lord of rock let them pass the three agori traveled along the bank of the river keeping a watchful eye out for another element Lord attack a few hours later they reached the headquarters and there before them was a massive Archway decorated with ornate carvings written across the top in aori were the words Spirits wish an ancient Archway that according to Legend would teleport the user exactly where their heart desired and so as the agori stepped onto the arch they found themselves back in AO surrounded by ruins and burning flames for despite his resolve to uncover the secrets of the great beings perhaps tardu was only truly longing for home croesus and Kerbal were on their feet now looking around at the ruins of AO in shock tardu knew they would want to head back to their Villages and so did he but once he was certain Tara was all right he resolved to head back North make it through the arch and find what he was seeking he had set out to solve a riddle and the element Lords were seeking the same answer answer it was still out there tantalizing him a question without an answer but he would answer it somehow and soon for the true significance of the red star and its function within the Maturin universe and how it related to the agori was right Within Reach so you might be wondering well what exactly was the point of that story because the three agori just basically ended up where they started and nothing really that major change in the plot well basically what you need to know from that is that the element Lords are out there trying to find the Maze of the great beings and find their way inside there's some sort of a power source hidden inside not really sure exactly what that is supposed to power yet but it'll become clear as the story goes on and ultimately this was most Readers first chance to get to know the element Lords and also kind of get to understand some of the history and backstory with the kir in the novel or book format now of course if you've seen the prologue video or have been following along to this point this is prob prob all old news so maybe the story didn't really offer much new things for you that being said tardu journey to find the red star and uncover the secrets of the matorin universe leads into a much much more important story that we're actually going to cover in the epilog of the entire Bionicle retold series because it actually takes place after the official ending of Bionicle so stay tuned for that and just remember tardu desperately wants to find and discover the secrets of the red star part five five raid on volcanos in the aftermath of their attack on AO the scrawl Warriors began to expand their land and territory preparing for the inevitable Bera Invasion soon afterwards Tuma and strus traveled to the secret Haven of the sisters of the scrawl attempting to negotiate a truce and partnership with the secretive female members thousands of years ago the sisters of the scrawl had been given psionic abilities by The lovecraftian Entity Anana who hoped they would destroy their male counterparts with their Newfound powers but instead the sisters actually believed that a great being named angon had given them their abilities and the legend of the great being angon was passed on from generation to Generation all new sisters wishing to someday locate angon and receive more Powers Tuma used this Legend to his Advantage claiming to know the location of angon he attempted to arrange a partnership with the sisters but instead he and strus were thrown out only allowed to live because of this claim on their way back to roxus they were assaulted by Beta who had grown even closer to the southern regions and it was then that the treacherous agori mettis made his move commanding Tuma and strus to throw down their weapons shutting off the beta's attack mode and allowing the three travelers to escape having saved the leader of the scrawl in his right-hand man mettis negotiated a higher position of power for himself with Tuma and the company returned to the scrawl camp at roxus meanwhile following the destruction of the Arena many glatorian were forced to work odd jobs and take on other duties as the gory Elders discussed how to resolve conflicts moving forwards guu the backup lorian for the ice tribe took a job protecting Caravans while he was ambushed by a bone Hunter holding a detailed map of the entire Village of fire volcanos quickly rushing to War ranu and the others Galu began to formulate a defense plan aided by grush and Veteran fire glatorian akar who split up to venture to the different villages to convince other glatorian to help defend volcanus while some glatorian like vastest of the Jungle tribe believe the to be a diversion and refused to leave their hometowns unprotected other glatorian like stra managed to be swindled or coerced into defending volcanus on the night of the attack akar ventured into the voro infested Wilderness to seek an audience with his old friend malam now Undisputed ruler of the vorox packs while malum agreed to launch a preemptive strike on the bone Hunter Camp to prove his strength and help out his old Ally he refused to help defend volcanus for he wanted nothing to do with the village that had exiled him long ago killer dozens of bone hunters in a vicious battle malum and his vorox packs returned to their camp but despite this seeming victory akar was unconvinced that they had truly driven off the bone hunters for good days later his suspicions were proven correct over two dozen bone Hunters swarmed volcanus smashing past its defenses an overwhelming akar who defended the city as best he could as its lone Warrior just as the bone Hunters were about to strike him down Kina tarx vastas and an army of other glatorian appeared on the horizon pushing back the bone hunters in the aftermath the other glatorian explained why they had come none among them had any allegiance to volcanus but only came to help their old friend and Veteran glatorian Mentor akar it was at this time of chaos and discovery that far from baram Magna on the planet of aquam Magna the matorin universe was thrust Into Darkness makuda pterodax had achieved his ultimate goal and cast the spirit of manui held within the mask of life out of the universe sending it rocket in the Deep reaches of space as the order of matui the toaa and all the inhabitants of the maturan universe began life under a dreaded rign of Shadows the kohi ignika mask of Life blasted towards the Sands of baram Magna fueled by One Singular thought I will return part six the legend reborn all across baram Magna the skies glowed in a brilliant Comet streak to the Stars Tuma and strus discussed battle plans and unification strategies dismissed it as nothing more than a shooting star in a braw with a scrawl Warrior Galu watched the comet sore through the air distracting the scrawl long enough to make his Escape in the wastelands Gres and vasas conversed with tardu learning of the element Lords in his quest for the red star and murin universe and watched the glowing object fall to the surface of baram Magna in volcanus Kina and akar ceased their practice Duel enraptured By The Mysterious glowing Comet and in the bar in desert a swarm of scarack beetles scurried across the duns scattering from the harsh light of the falling mask as the ignika smashed into the ground in a brilliant explosion intense heat fused sand to glass as smoke drifted from its metallic surface in an instant The Mask Rose into the air swirling the sand beneath it with life energy in a contained Sandstorm two arms two legs and a torso forn from the whirling grains and turned solid the kohi ignika now housing the spirit and consciousness of anui himself had risen in TOA form at last stunned and disoriented by his journey through the cosmos matui stumbled unaccustomed to his new form and still reeling from pterodax his attack for Millennia he had slumbered and had awoken just long enough to feel the presence of makuda pterodax take over his body and cast him out to Worlds unknown as a curious scaraba Beetle approached manui he inadvertently activated the cosmic power of his mask of Life temporarily transforming the beetle into to a living shield with the powers of his mask matui had little time to ponder the abilities of his ignika for he was beset by a crazed wild vorox who he was forced to beat back to defend himself just as Maui defeated his opponent ripping off his Stinger Tail as a makeshift weapon he was approached by the devious agori mettis who unbeknown to the society at large had secretly sold out his villages to the scrawl watching the display from afar mettis quickly made attempts to befriend manui realizing he could be a powerful Ally in the coming conflict and so as mettis drove manui back to volcanus they arrived just in time to see a brutal glatorian match between akar and St in this fierce battle akar defeated his opponent earning manu's respect who claimed akar fought like a TOA from his world as the devious Str prepared to attack akar from behind even after conceding the fight matanu left into action saving akar and transforming his voro Stinger tail into a full long sword soundly defeating St and earning the respect of the who watched the fight matui introduced himself as a TOA to akar and the two began discussing Maui's Origins the Maturin universe and proof of life outside Bara Magna as they talked the pair of warriors were interrupted by Kina who was overjoyed to find proof that life in the Stars existed and promised to help manui in exchange for his promise to take her with him when he returned to his homeland and so the three Warriors set off all eager to help manui return to his homeland and gain his in defending their people along the way having discovered a secret chamber of the great beings deep beneath tajun Kina led the way as they traveled through the canyons and desert passageways of baram Magna the three Warriors battled vicious scopio monsters while bonding with each other and explaining to manui how Society functioned on the planet of baram Magna eventually the trio made it to tajun and to Ken's horror she found it utterly destroyed by scrawl and Bone Hunters working together for the first time in history to seiz more land at tajun matui and his team quickly rescued a badly wounded Gres who had been the only glatorian left to fend off the hordes and the team sought shelter in the mysterious Lair of the great beings along the way they encountered the agori barracks who had also sought refuge in the secret lair during the attack to matan's astonishment the room was filled with ancient carvings markings and blueprints detailing the creation and birth of the Muran Universe to matan's surprise Kina explained how she and many glor hated the great beings for they had failed to stop Calamity and simply disappeared into the night but there was little time to ponder this Revelation for the Warriors had to rush to the nearby jungle Village of tsara to warn them of the scra's allegiance with the bone hunters and rally the glatorian to fight together as one against the United Force before they left matui continued to experiment with the ignika bestowing raw Elemental abilities onto akar Gres and Kina transforming them into fully-fledged TOA likee Heroes as the four Heroes arrived in Tara akar used his Newfound fire sword to gain the respect of the crowd stopping the ongoing loran match to compel the agori and cloran to band together against the United Army of bone hunters and scrawl as the village Elders discussed late into the night Barracks noticed an aori slip away from the crowd and sneak off into the night as he tailed this mysterious stranger he came upon him sharing information and secrets with the scrawl for this stranger was the traitorous mettis who had informed the scrawl that that manui had rallied the Goran and theori together before he had a chance to react Barrack was swiftly captured and Kina who had grown suspicious of Barracks for sneaking off and assumed that he was the traitor was also captured as soon as manui realized the PA had been kidnapped he immediately set off for roxus on his own leaving akar to guard the village of tsara in this scrawl Camp Kina and Barracks resolved their differences while the scrawl and Bone Hunters awaited the approach of glatorian Warriors having set up a trap to lure them away from The Villages using Kina and Barracks as bait to their surprise only one lone Warrior appeared on the horizon TOA matanu who had come to challenge Tuma in a one-on-one battle in a heated match matui faed the mighty Tuma and claimed his shield in Victory just then mettis revealed himself as a traitor ordering the scrawl and Bone Hunters to kill manui but he was too late for an army of glatorian appeared on the scene engaging in an epic battle between glatorian bone hunters and scraw as akar Kina Gres and the others led the charge matui ran to confront the escaping mettis using the power of the mask of life to transform him into a serpent a cruel but fitting fate for the slippery traitor as meta slithered away matui rejoined the fight and with the elemental powers he had bestowed upon the glatorian they swiftly beat back the opposing armies ending the scrawl threat in the aftermath of the battle matui negotiated peace between all tribes on bar Magna and began to physically Unite all the villages reconstructing the Colossal prototype robot left over by the great beings as this was done matui turned his gaze to the Maze of the great beings resolved to venture forwards and uncover whatever Secrets lay inside bringing him one step closer to returning to the matoran universe and bringing peace once and for all as the weeks passed mattini NST marveled at the size and scope of the United Mega Village of baram Magna with akar named lead Defender and ranu as the Chief Elder of the village the tribes of baram Magna had finally United Under

wandering scrawl Barracks was Gravely injured and manui was forced to continue alone while the rest of the glorian returned to the mega Village to protect the city and heal the wounded agori traveling north through the black Spike mountains matui arrived at the sacred Valley and entered the great maze determined to reach the tower stationed in the middle of the labyrinth before him lay great trials traps and ancient Machinery conjured by the great beings to protect their secrets and matui would need all his strength all his skill and all his wisdom to make it inside and learn the secrets of old meanwhile far away from the planet of baram Magna we returned to the Grand Coliseum of metui in the matorin universe where makuda pterodax had just made his chilling announcement and a wave of Darkness fell over their world pterodax had truly become God of this world and TOA order of manui and even the dark Hunters would need all their strength to mount a resistance effort from within the

decimating most order agents left to guard the main base as precious few veteran agents like truma fled the massacre the paraka vanished from their water tank prison and the dark Hunter dweller confined deep within the darkest dungeons of the order stronghold fled his captivity in the chaos the only remaining pool of energized protodermis in existence was held deep within daxia and quickly claimed by pterodax the few members of the Brotherhood of makuda who remained alive were enslaved by pterodax forced to endlessly churn out new raki before being swiftly eliminated leaving pterodax the only makuda Left Alive save for the enslaved makuda Miser who was stuck in the illusion of a painting for pterodax his amusement in the aftermath makuda used his Newfound Godlike powers to recreate the vizak race undoing the efforts of the toan NOA and toari to wipe out the scourge from the universe and commanding The Vicious spiders to sweep across the land in his name in the vast city

dark Hunters convened planting the seeds to a larger Rebellion against the makuda as Roxi roam the empty streets of metroui killing or imprisoning all who ventured out plans were made and speeches were given deep underground with the toan NOA and takaa taking the lead as the powerful figureheads of the Rebellion realizing there would be a bigger Target if they stayed together the TOA decided to split up each covering different pockets of the murin universe to establish a secret communication Network and intelligence system Across the Universe journeying to the ruins of the makuda fortress on Destro takova and pohatu hid in the darkness Scavenging through ancient artifacts and weapons to get an edge on Roxi enforcers uncovering the colossal teleportation engine takova quickly summoned TOA

tahoo rushed to convene with Gali and warn the others of the Roxi Army movements who in turn was deep in research on the great beings hoping to find a weakness to the great spirit robot and makuda spirit from within all these years the toaa had strived to reawaken the great spirit robot and now all their trials had led to this cruel ironic final mission destroying the robot which they had fought so desperately to awaken from within as months passed under pterodax his Reign the toan NOA rallied the resistance effort and embarked on their own missions forming ragtag teams with former enemies and dark Hunters to makuta's new form as tahoo correctly assumed it took pterodax time and practice to master the complexities of the Maturin universe and acclimate to his new form and the resistance effort used that precious time to their advantage in the ruins of the deserted realm of karani tahu led a strike force consisting of the dark Hunter Guardian ancient Keeper Of Secrets the

seize a weapons cast to the south of the realm and rendevu in the middle of the Forsaken land as the team discussed strategies and reassured cop's fears Guardian left the campsite wondering if there was a way off the universe and if their fight against the god of their world was truly a lost cause in an instant beneath his feet the ground opened bonds made of solid Stone wrapped around him yanking him down into the hole even as he screamed then the barren Earth slam shut again and he was gone just like that one of the oldest and most experienced dark Hunters was killed in an instant fused to the ground itself and crushed under tons of rock and soil leaping to their feet tahoo and his team came to a terrifying realization makuda pterodax had begun to master the ability to pinpoint the locations of individual beings in the universe and was simply leaving tahoo and the rest of his team alive to toy with them sounds of metallic footsteps filled the air and to their horror taho's team was immediately surrounded by dozens of EXO TOA centuries missiles loaded and aimed at the fugitives as the robotic shelves spoke in the hollow voice of makuda pterodax threatening to enslave or kill the dissident tahoo suppressed his impulse to LEAP into action and go down fighting learning from his past and drawing from his experience tahoo kept a level head and stayed calm preventing needless violence and bloodshed as the team prepared to surrender and Stage a future escape the ground began to shake beneath them and erupting from the catacombs below carani was TOA onua who instantly generated a vast pit underneath the exoa temporarily delaying them as he caught up with tahu onua explained how Roxi had killed the remaining order agents seizing the weapons cash and preventing onua from claiming the supplies as Lisa began to brainstorm a new Mission onua came up with a deadly plan makuda pterodax was clearly not fully in control of his new power and needed Roxi and exoa to act as his eyes and ears on the ground while pterodax was all powerful there was still only one way to make new Roxi by transforming Kata with energized protodermis and so to stop the steady flow of new Roi they had to complete the mission the order of matui began in the early stages of the destiny War destroy the final source of energized protodermis in the heart of the former order Fortress and doxia now heavily guarded by the most powerful agents of makuda Back In metroui Smoke billowed as an army of heat vision Roxi raced to poetry to pacify the matorin workers led by the Scotti Warlord nectan who had sided with pterodax against the will of his fellow Scotty Warlords desperately defending their home and blasting through the Roxy ranks the toam Mari defended poetr in the entrance of the archives where many of the other Maturin had sought Refuge as tahu onua and the rest of their team embarked on the long journey to doxia the rest of the TOA were embroiled in their own personal missions with golly still studying the great beings the TOA Mari defending the archives while attempting to break the toah haa out of their trance and kopaka on a quest of his own that left Lewa on a simple Mission ventured to the island of araka and convinced the ancient ruler of that sanctum to join the fight against makuda but as he came within sight of the island he could tell it was already too late shattered Roxi littered the coastline but more still were advancing on the Fortress art taka's maturan workers were fighting a desperate defense but it was a lost cause just as Leo prepared to jump into action the voice of the Titan araka echoed through his head proclaiming the island and himself as a Lost Cause araka teleported Lewa to a mysterious cave bidding him to seek the aid of another ancient being should araka fail and so Lewa found himself face to face with a writhing mass of tentacles bones and eyes the old God Tren CW meanwhile on the Scotti island of zakas the five toari assembled with a new Mission weeks ago they had defended the archives against the scoty warlord nectan and his Roxy Invasion who had Allied himself with makuda pterodax now nectan led his armies of Barbarians South for purposes unknown having failed to free the toah haa from their trance or reconstruct the destal teleportation engine the toari had been sent by tahu to gather information on the remaining Scotti Warlords and potentially recruit some of the Savage warmongers to their cause on top of that there was a mystery to be solved following the widespread destruction on doxia the sea snakes that were once the evil paraka had vanished it had been believed they were just buried in the rubble but rumors were flying that they had been rescued and Spirited Away to zakas for what purpose no one could say quickly suffocating the Scotty guards on the shore kongu took the lead and the five TOA ventured Inland with hooki using his powers of stone to distract the Scotti patrols long enough for Holly to use her elemental power of water to detect an underground river leading straight to the largest scoty stronghold as the amphibious toari dive deep beneath the water once again They Came Upon a massive sanctum where a scoty warlord was delivering a rousing speech to a gathering of nearly 500 Barb are as ring cries punctuated a grand speech declaring their intent to rise up against makuda pterodax himself while the TOA dark hunters and Order hid in the darkness a massive tank Rose from beneath the ground bubbling with energized protodermis before the toari had a chance to even process the fact that the Scotti had somehow obtained more of the substance their attention was drawn to a group of prisoners being led to the pool a Savage zlac a defeated and battered Vortex a brutish stelian laborer and five of the parac still writhing and gasping in their sea snake forms horrified the toam Mari came to a realization the Scotti would have had no idea which specific beings to throw in the bubbling pool unless the idea was planted in their heads by the god in control of Destiny makuda pterodax at the warlord signal the three prisoners and the five paraka were thrown into the energized protodermis tank so engrossed were the scoty that they failed to notice a strange greenish cloud of anti- dermis emerg from a nearby lake hovering in the air for a moment and then plunge into the energized protodermis tank as the liquid began to froth and bubble the TOA Mari could see a shape forming in the silver fluid something monstrous and horrible as they watched in shock and Terror Before Their Eyes a new and terrible form of life began to climb from the tank elsewhere in the universe the baraki prac stood on a pedestal before his assembled Legions of Warriors and outcasts he CMA and mantax had rebuilt their Legions while had returned to the sea to gather his own troops they were poised to strike as soon as the shadowed one Unleashed his viruses on makuda pterodax the universe would be Theirs to rule once more but then there was nothing the appointed time had come and gone with only a violent Earth Tremor to mark it at first prak thought that the shadowed one had succeeded and the Quake was a sign he had overthrown makuda pterodax but it became rapidly obvious that nothing had changed pterodax was still in control and now prac had a choice march on metroui and risk destruction at the hands of the makuda or stay put and risk Rebellion by his Legions seething with rage at the shadowed one's apparent failure prac resolved to march on metroui with the rest of the baraki and their combined Legions rling the armies to march on makuda tx's Roi exoa and vizer forces in the city in a chamber on the island of Z the stone floor was littered with a shattered remains of precious vials there was no trace of the shattered one or what once contained The V of viruses every vortex in a wide radius had met a horrible death pulverized into fragments Without a Trace in his attempt to unleash the Prototype viruses on makuda pterodax the shadowed one had inadvertently released a deadly viral agent barely surviving to flee to other corners of the universe and on an Uncharted Island in these Southern regions axon one of the final surviving members of the order of matui had been teleported from the chambers beneath metui by makuda pterodax locked in an endless illusion and desperate to find his comrade brutaka axon used his mental powers and mask of Truth to finally break free of pterodax spell finding himself on an uninhabited Beach and them to live nowhere he didn't know for certain where he was nor did he care at the moment all that mattered to him was where Makuta was and he knew that answer somehow someway axon was going to make it back to metui and makuda was going to pay for what he had done even if it cost axon his life and finally TOA helx leader of the order of matui sat alone in her prison with only the echoing thoughts of pterodax and a portrait of makuda misiz to keep her company knowing the matorin population could never be convinced to stop working if their comrades and friends were killed as a result helis came to a sickening realization defeating pterodax and demolishing the Machinery that ran the great spirit robot would spell the eventual death of all beings that lived inside it the very destruction that TOA enika toan NOA and toah had fought so hard to prevent and matoro had sacrificed himself to save the planet outside had no known land masses and no place to flee to the inhabitants of the Maturin Universe would suffocate or freeze in the darkness as leader of the order of matui helrick often had to make decisions that sent agents to their debts it came with the job and so helrick resolved to stop pterodax before he killed or enslaved billions of Innocents in the universe beyond closing her eyes and drawing on all her power helrick prepared to unleash a Nova blast within the mind of pterodax preparing to Doom the entire murin universe to save billions beyond their world part two trials of vason as the inhabitants of the matoran universe faced their greatest battles yet vason Mazika and VTR tumbled through alternate worlds cursed by the power of the olac now fused to Von's face with the two Maturin enemies cast out to Dimensions unknown Von continued ricocheting through through the Multiverse of Madness one moment he was out in the sunshine of the Kingdom Universe seeing matorin and dark Hunters working together in Perfect Harmony the next moment everything had shifted and he found himself in a mirror world where an evil mattini spirit plotted to overthrow the great spirit makuda his body his Essence and his mind had fused to that of the omac wherever he stepped a new dimensional portal ripped open and as time passed Von gained more and more Mastery over this powerful new ability in a flash of energy and light Von tumbled toward a portal through the sky finding himself surrounded by sand in every direction as he journeyed towards buildings and jungle trees in the distance Von watched as the vast desert gave way to a lush jungle filled with workers toiling away at constructing vast Villages some of these workers were layor but others Von did not recognize for these were agori and vason had found himself in the spheris Magna alternate universe flashing back to thousands of years ago when the great spirit matui robot had delved deep into the unknown reaches of space the Brotherhood of makuda and pterodax had chosen not to rebel against matui allowing the Colossal robot to fulfill its purpose and return to baram Magna with the technology to restore the planet to its rightful place recreating and terraforming the planet of spherus Magna as it was in the old days here matorin agori TOA and Goran worked side by side to create a new form of society rising to prominence Among the Stars there vason encountered a variant of tardu who assumed he was a TOA and brought him to the Villages of This Strange New World veson watched as TOA like jaler and kongu worked alongside loran like Gres and Kina and most surprising of all saw that the Brotherhood of makuda who in this universe had never revolted over through Tuma and his scrawl Legions taking over command of the black armored Warriors to defend the villages but before vason had a chance to comprehend the changes of this world they were interrupted by a vast Army on the horizon platoon of Scotti bellowed War C as Ruda led her Vortex kin towards the village all led by makuda Miser in his Dragon form bone Hunters rushed towards the village and all around TOA and glatorian prepared to defend their Villages as veson tried and failed to activate his innate teleportation abilities the world began to slow and freeze around him as color faded from the universe and time began to stop a voice echoed in Von's mind a voice that claimed to be a great being from our core Universe eons ago this great being made the error of touching the mask of Life as a result everything around him Furniture equipment even rays of light came to life for their own safety his fellow rulers imprisoned him and now this cursed great being was perpetually surrounded by living chains living blocks of stone and the screams of light as the darkness extinguished it as Von quickly began to understand the plight of the cursed being an idea came to him offer to free the being from his Fortress should he return vason to the core universe and Grant him full dimensional Mastery of the olac and with Von's fate hanging in the balance we now shift Focus to Mazika and voltr who are cast abruptly from CI by the power of Von's olac and now found themselves hurdling to destinations unknown part three the melding universe space reality it's more than a linear path it's a prism of Endless Possibilities where one decision one choice Choice could change the course of a universe forever hundreds of thousands of years ago the core War for energized protodermis rips speris Magna apart kickstarting the events of the legend of Bionicle but in this universe the great beings created the first TOA far earlier to repair the planet and protect it from the inevitable cataclysm caused by the shattering instead of creating the great spirit matui robot the great beings refined and perfected the TOA design granting them the smaller statures of murin of our universe but with greater agility and enhanced Elemental and kohi Powers the TOA was sent underground with containers to hold the energized protodermis and the duty of repairing all the planet's damage and after 5 years this task dubb the melding was successfully completed in the aftermath of the melding the great beings continued to reside in the Valley of the maze adding Crystal and iron fortifications to The Fortress at its Center to create an order of true peacekeepers and Servants of the light the great beings brought the makuda race into being towering Titans with blinding white armor and swarm Protectors of the glatorian agori TOA and matorin of this universe who are much larger glatorian sized beings to assist in heavy labor and with that we return to kanui the heart of arore universe the stage was set for two mortal enemies to collide hurdling towards each other in a final Clash just then there was a sickening moment of darkness and disorientation in a flash of blinding light Mazika and VTR found themselves plummeting towards the ground barely escaping a vast Lake of energized protodermis as they fell before a massive tree banded with gold medal in seconds the two Maturin of ice and Shadow had been transported to the melding alternate universe as the matorin awoke dazed from their Journey they were approached by TOA maku and murin helis who assumed Mazika and VTR were other TOA given their smaller forms Mazika and VTR soon realize that in this world TOA were matorin and matorin were TOA and they would be forced to blend in less they draw the attention of the makuda heroic Protectors of the land explaining they were seeking passage home Mazika and voltr were brought before makuda pterodax of the melding universe who explained his purpose to uphold the values of unity Duty and Destiny no matter the cost in this world am makuda must be utterly without doubt or fear or any trace of Shadow with years of meditation required to claim the noble title as they ventured through the valley of the maze makuda terod saluted gorast and iarax also wearing pristine white armor and brought them before a vast Council chamber illuminated by dim lightstones hanging from the chamber ceiling as voices began to Echo from the dark and flickering light illuminated the outlines of six mysterious figures in the darkness makuda pterodax of the melding Universe introduced Mazika and VTR to the great beings announcing he had used his telepathic abilities to peer inside their souls makuda exposed VTR as a being filled with Darkness stunning the great beings by this flaw in their creation as the group conversed The Great beings explained that they were aware of the Multiverse and their counterparts in the vast uncounted realities that exist it was only a matter of time until visitors from Mirror Dimensions pierced the dimensional walls and to the great beings the chance to dissect and study voltr was an alluring opportunity and so Mazika was offered an exchange the great beings of the melding Universe would allow him to be returned to his universe so long as they could keep Vas to study him to understand what went wrong in his Creation in return they would allow Mazika to choose one being from their Universe to go with him to our Prime Dimension to keep the balance between realities while Mazika at first refused his Noble heart unwilling to Doom even voltr to an eternity in a separate reality the great beings made it clear he had no say in the matter makuda pterodax had seen the rot in his spirit and peered into a distorted mirror and fully supported vtr's punishment and as the the shadow matorin was dragged Away by other makuda Mazika made his choice calling on the white armored makuda pterodax he made ready to return to the main universe and bring a powerful new ally to turn the tide back in our core Universe on the planet of aquam Magna makuda pterodax in the huge robotic body that once belonged to matui surveyed the world he stood on there was nothing but water as far as the eye could see despite the waters teeming with life and Escape pit prisoners still struggling to survive to pterodax all their struggles were beneath him and there were worlds out there teeming with life waiting to be conquered pterodax pondered to himself why should he be satisfied with ruling a universe inside this body where he could Master a true Universe of planets and Suns and Stars this robot body had the power to lay waste to cities to shatter mountains to subjugate entire planets and yet matui had not used any of it and so pterodax made his decision once he had crushed the final remnants of rebellion inside him he would beckon to the red star above and begin his journey of Conquest starting with tracking down matui spirit in the mask of Life on Bara Magna and crushing him and all he cared for beneath his feet but just then his thoughts were interrupted pterodax felt the presence of another makuda deep within his body and since the only remaining living makuda Miser was trapped in the illusion of a painting this had to be something else someone else and there was only one answer this new makuda had come from an alternate universe and pterodax was about to come face to face with himself in a blinding flash of light and energy Mazika and the makuda pterodax of the melding Universe materialize in an uninhabited portion of the Southern continent as Darkness began to creep over the valley Mazika was surprised to see the melding pterodax drawing light from the region to prepare for battle for despite the fact that the makuda of the melding Universe had purged all Darkness from their souls they had total control over light and what is Darkness but the absence of light and so walking down the now darkened path the two allies made their way out of the valley as their Quest truly began approaching a sacked and demolished Village of borin Masters of gravity Mazika and the melding pterodax discussed the circumstances of the core pterodax fall to Darkness and how easy it may have been for the melding pterodax to do the same their conversation was interrupted when all around them the winds Rose in a moment they had gone from gentle breeze to screaming melstrom so powerful it knocked Mika off his feet and sent him tumbling towards the Eds of a ridge Landing among the ruins maika's impact shattered the long dead corpse of azarak into fine black powder now that he looked around he could see the other bodies of vizer spiders scattered here and there the villagers who had lived here had gone down fighting but then a voice came from the dead mouths of the vizak all around pterodax recognized it as his own but touched with Madness and Evil evil as the heroic melding pterodax proclaimed himself as truly stronger than the pterodax of this world for overcoming The Temptations He could not the mouths of the vizer corpses only laughed proclaiming a test for the white armored makuda the air crackled with ozone and then before Mazika and pterodax his eyes three figures appeared each resembled takua legendary TOA of light but their armor was jet black and Shadow energy swirled about their hands for pterodax had his own Army of beings from from alternate universes and an apocalyptic final battle was nigh part four the many deaths of toat tuet thousands of years ago in the great city of metroui the deranged serial killer toat tuet sought the power of the Nei Stone ancient artifact with the ability to absorb TOA energy into the wielder of the stone transforming them into the ultimate Elemental being with colossal strength and power seeking to Massacre all makuda dark hunters and anyone who stood in her way to yet nearly succeeded in her Quest but after being thwarted by the efforts of TOA Leon and nadiki she was imprisoned by the order of matui by the teleporting Titan botar officially she was brought to the prison of the pit where she allegedly lived out the rest of her days in confinement and in the depths below marii TOA matoro and makuda pterodax in the form of maxos robot encountered the dead body of what appeared to be tuet and while pterodax attempts to rebuild the newie stone with a staff of araka ultimately failed all in the Mator Universe believed to yet to be dead and she slowly faded from history but that is only the history you know for secretly the order of matui wished to gain the power of the newi stone for themselves teleporting to yet to a pocket Dimension where no TOA existed the order of matui interrogated her for thousands of years studying the fragments of the Nei Stone embedded in her armor and managing to extract samples of the powerful artifact safely from her armor to cover up this research the order of matui traveled to alternate Dimension where they found and killed the toat tuet of that world transporting her corpse back to the prime Dimension where she was placed in the pit with false Crystal fragments resembling the newie stone embedded in her armor meanwhile after 1,500 years passed in her prison to yet managed to sway a prison guard into believing in her vision faking an explosion and claiming to yet had died in the unforeseen accident the order of matui Agents secretly helped Toya Escape equipping her with the technology of that Dimension to Traverse universe like the power of the kohi olac for years and years tuet began a transdimensional journey carving a path through the Multiverse and charging the ancient newie stone along the way after 2,000 years passed and Tu yet grew more and more powerful she finally arrived back in our core dimension materializing in The Archives of metroui right at the peak of pterodax rain meanwhile in the archives Below metroui matorin had formed their own resistance movement aiding the TOA in their missions to lay information and free their comrades whenever possible word that tahu and Ona's mission to destroy the final energized protodermis pool on doxia had succeeded had spread across the matorin resistance movement and capira Tom matorin an old member of taka's chroniclers company on the island of manui rushed to convene with maku who now walked with a pronounced limp due to a narrow escape from an automated exot TOA soon the two matorin reunited with hafu po matorin Carver an original chroniclers company member who had been put to work by Mal carving statues of makuda pterodax as the three matorin led by maku ventured deeper within the archives maku revealed the true reason she had brought them together for she had encountered toat yet deep beneath the archives who claimed to be willing to Aid the resistance and defeat pterodax skeptical of her powers and strength hafu and kapura question tuet who was overjoyed to realize the Maturin had forgotten of her misdeeds thousands of years ago and her crimes had faded Into Obscurity following the death of Leon and nadiki revealing the pulsating newie Stone in her fist toat to yet explained how she was the perfect Ally against makuna for he truly believed her to be dead for some 2,000 years while maku headed back to spread the news among the resistance Network hafu and capira agreed to help connect tuet with the rest of the Rebellion who in turn had no doubt she could organize and lead a successful Rebellion against pterodax and bring him down but she had no intention of allowing matui to regain control thousands of years to gain power and knowledge had led to yet to convinced manui was weak and ineffective and the matorin universe needed a ruler like her to truly achieve greatness part five gods of old as to yet plotted to overthrow makuda pterodax and seize control of the matorin universe for herself conflicts and battles broke out all across the robot the toari still marooned on the island of zakas were witnessing a grotesque being slowly rise from the tank of energized protodermis the melding universe makuda Parx and Mazika found themselves facing off against alternate versions of takua completely turned to the dark tahu onua and their team had just won a major victory against pterodax overwhelming the guards on daxia in a massive assault and destroying the only source of new Roxi in the ruins of destral takua and pohatu worked desperately to gather arms Salvage weapons and armor and mount a defense against the makuda from within the scoty warlord nectan Reed his forces of rosi and paraka to venture to the southern islands for reasons unknown and in these Southern Islands axon still reeling from his mine prison reunited with brutaka who is now fully merged with anti- dermis and levitating above the ground together the two old friends set off on a long journey back to metroui fighting their way through hordes of Roi exoa and vizak as they went in the silver sea of protodermis the baraki legions led by praak sailed from metroui ready for a grand Conquest against the makuda raki and exoa forces and on the island of Z laborers and workers were on high alert faced with a virus inadvertently Unleashed by the shattered one who had vanished mysteriously deep to the South kangu sensed the presence of vizak once again and resumed his sole quest to wipe out the vicious spiders and finally in the mind of the great spirit robot toah helrick leader of the order of matui prepared a devastating Nova blast ready to sacrifice all life in the matorin universe to stop maguda pterodax and on and Uncharted Island TOA Lewa found himself face to face with the horrific sight of the slimy tentacled mass of Tren crom former overseer of the Maturin Universe now left a rot in his prison cave a voice dripping with Decay telepathically wormed its way into Lea's mind explaining that he too had heard the voice of makuda pterodax echo through the universe Tren crom pondered that there may be a way to use his knowledge of the inner workings of the matoran universe against makuda pterodax but it would require great Sacrifice from Lewa as the toaa of air agreed to do whatever it takes a tentacle wrapped around his neck and in the next instant the world began to spin there was light and pain and impenetrable darkness and when the Shadows cleared away Lewa found himself staring at himself he looked down only for a microc second long enough to see a huge tentacled mass grafted to Stone instinctively Lea realized he was in trencrom's body and trencrom's mind was inside his old body Overjoyed at his Newfound Freedom trencrom possessing the body of Lea only laughed explaining that in return for his help in overthrowing pterodax he would take Lea's former body as his own leaving the Mind and Spirit of the toan NOA of air trapped in Tren crom's body condemned The Forsaken Island as Lea yelled and protested straining against the cave trenro took off in his body telepathically contacting Arta who was forced to teleport the body of Lewa to metui to save the universe and allow trenro to join the fight against pterodax and so the world around trenro began to Shimmer and fade when his vision was clear again he was standing in a Subterranean tunnel filled with a collection of broken equipment and dust covered artifacts he had never physically been to this place before but he knew what it was the metru Nei archives as he surveyed his new surroundings The Parting words of araka echoed through his mind carry out his end of the bargain or araka would find a way to utterly destroy Lea's body rather than allow trenro to steal it for all eternity as trenro and the body of Lewa surveyed his surroundings he was hailed by hafu and kapura who had brought along toat tuet in the hopes of her turning the tide of rebellion reading her mind in mere seconds trenro was amused at her Ambitions to overthrow pterodax and while she was powerful and dangerous he surmised that she may have some use as well sensing this intrusion to her mind to yet quickly deduce that Lea was not who he claimed to be but kept that knowledge to herself and while while capira was overjoyed to see a second TOA materialize before him hafu began to grow suspicious of both Warriors who seemed to each Harbor alterior motives to Aid their cause leaving the archives trenro tuet and the two matorin came across to auks and bonga still casually strolling through the city stuck in their illusion intrigued trenro touched the minds of the two toah haa a fraction of his mental power tore makuta's artificial reality to bits PS and bonga shook their heads as if waking from a dream even as He restored them to the real world trenro sent his power cascading to the minds of the other toah Haka freeing them as well as the toah haa reeled from the illusion finally Breaking Free from their prison at last tuet trenro and the matorin ventured onwards demolishing the wall to TOA hel's prison just as she was about to unleash a devastating Nova blast quickly recognizing the dark TOA hel powered down her Nova blast and moved to confront tuat but in the commotion trenro was distracted by the portrait of makuda Miser on the wall the portrait of misx warped as if folding in on itself an instant later makuda Miser himself stood in the chamber in full reptilian Glory the makuda looked days at first then his eyes filled with rage quickly catching up on the situation helrick ordered hafu and kapura to leave that sanctum and get word to the rest of the resistance and be prepared to make peace with the great spirit and with each other for the end of everything was nigh just then trencrom leapt to a hidden wall of Machinery manipulating a set of controls for the great spirit robot as he muttered about golden armor and sending a beacon to the ignika helx rush to stop him resigned to a decision to destroy the mind of pterodax and in turn doomed the matorin universe to destruction before either side could complete their tasks a voice echoed from the chamber wall axon and brutaka had finally returned to metroui to axon surprise brutaka declared that Tren cro must be allowed to complete the task he set out to do and in response helrick demanded that the Universe must die and pterodax with it before the startled eyes of kapura and hafu battle lines were drawn on one side stood helx miserix and axon all three determined to demolish the brain of the robot and commit the ultimate sacrifice to kill pterodax once and for all on the other stood Tu yet trenro and brutaka who were convinced the matoran universe could be salvaged all for their own goals helrick avoided to yet slashing attack and landed a sidekick in midsection the corrupt toe of waters staggered backwards only narrowly avoiding being accidentally struck by brutaka the battle had begun only moments before but already the chamber in which they fought was in shambles Mizer thought he would have the easiest opponent he could sense that leaa was not himself but under the control of another whoever that was they had no access to the TOA air power which he thought would make him right for defeat unfortunately for him Lea's body was now home to trenro ancient entity with enormous mental Powers Miser M's first solid blow knocked Lea to the ground the Fallen TOA responded with a mental shock blast that came close to Turning miser's brain to Ash but still Miser had been through a lot in the past Millennia imprisonment torture humiliation and no mind power was going to be enough to stop him he gathered Lea up in his claw and slammed his foe against the wall once twice and three times meanwhile axon's heart wasn't in this fight he had only recently rediscovered ruaka and regained their old friendship he couldn't believe they were already at each other throats once again and he wasn't certain brutaka was wrong maybe hel's plans were too extreme perhaps Duty lay in protecting the matorin until the very last moment but for this moment he had to concentrate on protecting just himself for one good hit from brutaka would take his head clean off helx on the other hand had not wavered in her determination but she also knew that this battle was sure to draw makuda pterodax his attention her chance to act could disappear at any moment she had to do the Nova blast now before anyone could stop her to yet could guess what was about to happen slamming an elbow into axon even as brutaka struck him she took advantage of the moment wrestling the Warrior's axe from him with a yell she vaulted into the air and smashed misx with the axe in a roar of pain The Reptilian makuda fell backwards right towards helx tuet hit the ground and watched but to her surprise just as misx was about to crush helx the ancient Female warrior vanished the makuna landed in a heap but was barely slowed by his wound and already seeking out his attacker and just then in the chaos the world began to blur in front of the combatant's eyes at the chamber entrance space itself appeared to be warping the next instant a massive figure stepped out of the Distortion and stood before them all around them a voice both young and old echoed through the chamber berating them for their squabbling to save existence no one in the room had ever seen the newcomer before but there were some who knew his voice and all felt a chill of fear at the sound of it only HRI had the presence of mind to give their visitor a name and even she spoke it in a whisper araka part six descent into madness at the sight of araka the chamber went silent he stood in the shattered doorway facing some of the most powerful beings in existence as their Superior first his cold eyes fell on the body of Lewa reaching out and placing his palm on lewa's forehead araka closed his eyes the toa's body spasmed then dropped to the floor after a moment Lea's eyes opened and he looked around dazed for he had returned to his body for the first time in weeks as helrick began to challenge araka still preparing for her Nova blast the combatants were frozen solid by a reverberating voice around the chamber the voice of makuda pterodax who now had drawn his attention to their Gathering mocking their efforts to stop him pterodax extended the briefest of energies to the gathered beings one instant axon brutaka helx araka miserix tuyet Hau kapura and Lewa were inside the half ruined chamber deep beneath metroui the next they were floating in the airless icy void of outer space slowly losing Consciousness as the cold crept through their armor on the surface of aquam Magna they could barely make out the dizzyingly Colossal form of the great spirit robot looked to the Stars beyond the planet and blast off to the shattered planet of baram Magna in search of badou the mask of life and victory over all life itself in the void of space leea summoned a thin bubble of air linked around the heads of each Castaway calling them to join hands and link up as they drifted in the cold reaches of space despite his efforts not even araka had the power to defy a true new God and pterodax had blocked their return to his form before the Warriors could make any moves a hole appeared in space before them reaching outwards was a clawed hand and before they knew it the n9b found themselves sprawled on a damp Stone floor kapura was the first to realize that the stone itself was moving not to mention breathing he cried out and got to his feet backing against a wall the bricks in the wall reached out to embrace him holding him fast stepping out from the Shadows was the Mad half beinging vason who called their attention to their host as the occupants of the chamber turned to face the being before them they could barely make out a figure Seated on the floor chains affixed to arms and legs the chains were writhing like serpents and the voice of the insane cursed great being echoed out he had made a deal with Von and brought him back to this core universe but after realizing vason did not have the power to free him from his prison he tasked him to rescue some of the most powerful beings in the maturan universe from the darkness of outer space and so as the cursed great being demanded his freedom Lea glanced out the window of his cell he was stunned to see a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see far larger than any jungle he had called home on the island of matui for Lewa vason araka helx Miser axon brutaka tuet kapura and hafu had been transported to the Jungle planet of bam Magna Moon of spheris Magna meanwhile back in the murin universe on the island of zakas the toari watched in horror as a terrifying Fusion emerg from the pool of energized protodermis a mixture of a zlac a Vortex a stelan laborer and the five surviving paraka it had been created by the Barb Eric Scotti in an elaborate ritual and now it was free it was terrible and it was beautiful towering 12 ft high with gleaming golden skin powerful muscles and piercing green eyes it regarded the assembled Scotti with the benevolent gaze of a Creator only the vaguely reptilian cast of its face took away from its stunning appearance as this new Golden's skinned being cried out in hunger its hypnotic mental Powers took hold of the assembled Scotty and toari binding them in its way throwing down their weapons the five toari Rose and walked forward ready and eager to obey the commands of their new dark master back in the southern Islands the pterodax of the melding universe and comor and Mazika Reed for combat against the three Shadow takua who blocked their path the pterodax of our core Universe had expected the melding pterodax to react nobly and fight from a distance using his long-range abilities to hold the tagua at Bay but the melding pterodax had no such weaknesses unlimber his Warhammer pterodax charged before the startled Shadow TOA could react pterodax had swung his hammer striking one TOA in the face and shattering his Mass to Pieces whirling he landed another Hammer blow to the chest armor of a second TOA cracking it straight down the center Mazika moved in then catching the third takova with a scissor kick and sending him to the ground pterodax made sure he would never be getting up the now maskless TOA staggered forward firing Shadow energy from his hands at random one blast caught pterodax in the shoulder badly damaging his armor without the luxury to feel pain or worry about his escaping anti dermis melding pterodax created a swirling fog of Darkness to conceal his movements using the cover to his Advantage Mazika reached out with all his senses leaping and whirling in midair with his eyes fully blinded sensing the scrape of Shadow takova boots on Rock his foot connected with the toa's mask knocking at a skew but not dislodging it even as his momentum carried him forward Mazika landed a second Blow To The Shadow to his neck enraged the toah hurled tendrils of Darkness that began to strangle the murin but just then there was a sickening Crunch and the shadow to his face went blank behind him was pterodax and his Warhammer which had smashed taka's mask and brain to Pieces the two Warriors had finally overcome their trials but the final battle was only about to begin part seven in the Valley of the maze as makuda pterodax in the body of the great spirit robot blasted off from aquam Magna to challenge matui on baram Magna the TOA of life was encountering his own trials and tribulations in the desert sands while rebellions were fought Across the maturan Universe and the toan NOA LED their allies to Victory matui struggled through the valley of the maze ancient Fortress of the great beings which housed a mysterious power source deep within meanwhile the glatorian continued to defend the agori from wandering Bandits like samon and remnants of sraw patrols who still sought to conquer more land in the of Tuma defeat with all the Warriors unaware of the impending threat of the beta Legions akar and Kina set off to the north of baram Magna seeking out manui to Aid in his quests at the same time Gres scoured the wastelands for Superior armor and weapons preparing to act as one of the few Defenders of the recently constructed Mega Village around the prototype robot during this time the agori tardu still consumed with questions about the great beings and the Mysterious red star ventured back North to complete his journey to the Valley of the maze managing to enter the Fortress of the great beings and onwi the element Lords who sought the secrets for themselves was quickly Tied In Chains and suspended above a pool of lava by automated defense systems which detected his foreign presence in the Fortress of the great beings and after facing many of the maz's automated defenses Elemental traps and endless riddles matui finally arrived at the center of the maze where he encountered tarda quickly freeing the agor of jungle matui ventured deeper within the Fortress where he discovered a computer stationed within the mechanized volcano before his eyes images projected on the walls around him detailing his mission to study other cultures and civilizations throughout the Galaxy to understand the reason for war and how to prevent it from arising on spherus Magna again on the screen the progress of the great spirit robot was tracked which showed how matui had completed his mission and was headed home just as makuda tertera struck him down with a virus causing the robot to crash towards the planet as the impact threw him into a deep Slumber and erased his memories matui was surprised to see that the restoration of spherus Magna required a second colossal robot and so as mattini and tardu delve deeper within the maze they encountered the ancient power source to the second robot and left the maze after seizing it for themselves at last matui was closer than ever to regaining control of a massive robotic form and our journey is about to come to an end part eight Journey's End returning to the mega village with the power source matui intended to use it to reawaken the prototype robot and restore spherus Magna once and for all despite being confronted by Gres and ranu who accused him of being willing to destroy their only shelter just to gain more power Maui convinced them of his Noble intentions and ranu reluctantly allowed him to use the mega Village but not before warning him that should he betray the agori they would find a way to make him pay the agori and Goran of the four tribes then left the me a village taking shelter in the mountainous caves and matui prepared to enter the prototype robot bidding him a tearful farewell Ken who had grown close to matui over his time in baram Magna was the last to send him off and so in an explosion of energy and light Maui's Spirit exited his body and traveled into the prototype robot Awakening it after 150,000 years as energy rippled across the land and tendrils of glowing green light beamed from the sockets of the robot matui Rose once again barely managing to keep control over the ancient internal systems with the mask of Life matui struggled to his feet power surged through his body out through his metal fingertips and he began the cosmic process of reuniting the moons of aquam Magna and Bam Magna with baram Magna as gargantuan forces of gravity rippled through space and matui concentrated on restoring spherus Magna makuda pterodax in the body of the original great spirit robot grew ever closer closer to Bar Magna inside the matorin universe tahu and onua had just succeeded in destroying the final supply of energized protodermis reconvening with Gali pohatu and kopaka the five remaining toan NOA had little time to ponder where Lewa had gone before rushing to the southern regions of the robot tracking hordes of rocki that had abandoned their posts and flooded to spaces unknown ordering all remaining agents of the order of matui active TOA teams and dark Hunters to rush to the southern Islands in Pursuit tahu watch as Legions of exoa vizer and Scotti led by nectan followed the ROI to the southern Legions as the forces of both good and evil rushed to the South there was impact on Bara Magna makuda pterodax commanding the most powerful weapon of Destruction in existence had just made landfall on the planet surface in an instant pterodax vaporized a peak in the black Spike mountains killing several scrawl and proposed an alliance to conquer the universe together to matui as matui refused in response pterodax used his own gravity powers to tear off the mountain above the cave where most of the agori and glatorian were hiding forcing them to flee onto the Desert Sands in an instant makuda pterodax engaged matui in a full-on robotic duel above the clouds on the ground beneath pterodax feet Gres and the glatorian concentrated their blasters at single spots on his armor hoping to distract him long enough for Maui to gain the upper hand but before they had a chance to deal any damage hatches opened by makuta's feet and out of the darkness poured countless Legions of rxi Scotti and vizak followed closely by the forces of good while the two armies clashed takua and the toan NOA emerged from the opening joining forces with the glatorian in a climactic battle to avoid standing out and being targeted by rxi takova altered his armor color to Silver blending in with the TOA and glorian of ice as he blasted through waves of villains in the distance strus watched the proceedings and seeking revenge for the rock trib's earlier defeat LED bands of of scraw Warriors into the battle which had now begun in Earnest in a different section of baram Magna tahu NOA stumbled out of the matorn universe faced with the blinding light and heat of the desert cast into a vision of tawah by the mask of life tahu was shown a flashback to thousands of years ago where the great beings had designed a set of golden armor to be worn specifically by TOA matatu in the event of an emergency with the ability to destroy all solid anti- dermis in the area the armor could act as a vast explosion of energy to decimate all Roxi forces which of course used armor made of solid anti dermat all around tahu the golden armor began to materialize and the mask of Life devolved him purposefully into his original TOA mat form as he was needed in his unaltered state to fulfill this crucial task but before tahoo could Dawn this golden armor and destroy the Roxi pterodax noticed the blinding glow of light and sent a gargantuan blast of energy from his hands scattering that pieces of golden armor all across baram Magna meeting up with takua tahu began a search to recollect all the pieces of the golden armor all while other TOA fought bravely against the forces of makuda introducing himself to Gres and the glatorian tahu had only moments to explain the threat before the battles resumed the tahaka now fully cleared of pterodax Illusion held a desperate defense alongside the glatorian protecting the agori villagers in other regions of the desert gly and phatu clashed with Scotty barbarians decimating entire Legions in their wake and in the skies above them matanu and makuda pterodax engage in their climactic final battle pterodax dispatching bizak spiders to rapidly seal breaches in the hull with their webs and mattini barely managing to hold off the Titanic foe as matui declared that the agori and loran would never submit to pterodax pterodax crushed bar Magna with his gravitic powers in desperation matanu shoved pterodax and redirected the blast towards the two moons of aqua and Bam Magna accelerating their descent toward the planet he then redoubled his effort forcing pedex backwards towards a falling fragment of Aqua Magna and in the desert tahu encountered nectan the Scotti warlord who now seized a piece of the golden armor for himself challenging him in a one-on-one duel tahoo sliced through his cresant Scythe melting nectan's armor with his fire blast and utterly defeating thekotti warlord in the desert Gres takua and the rest of the glorian andori battled pterodax forces for the golden armor desperately fighting to regain and get each piece to tahu in a truly truly epic battle stretching across the planet tahoo managed to finally regain control of the golden armor the TOA of fire concentrated focusing his thoughts just as he would do to activate a mass power or control flame but this time he was willing the golden armor to do whatever it could to end this battle power surged through him he screamed as electricity locked his muscles and suffused his body with blinding light tendrils of energy shot from tahu coiling around every Roxi on the battlefield in an instant the creatures fell to the ground seized by spasms as their power raced back along the tendrils and into tahoo as the combatants on both sides watched the roxi's armor disintegrated and the catus lugs inside them exploded into shards of shadow on the horizon tahu was still screaming as the energies of hundreds of Roxi threatened to overwhelm him then abruptly the Nimbus of power around him disappeared and he dropped like a stone and just that quickly the battle was over with the rocki gone the Scotti and scraw were B ly outnumbered by the glatorian and taho's TOA Legion some surrendered While others scattered back in the desert to fight another day but no one was celebrating they all knew Victory meant nothing if makuda killed matui and it seemed there was nothing they could do to prevent that but what none of the fighters on the ground realized was that they had already done more than they realized each Kata was bound to its creator in some way and in this case makuda pterodax while he did not feel their pain he could sense their debts the loss of so many at once made him hesitate for just a moment for that instant makuda pterodax was paying no attention to the world around him or the sky above him matui saw it coming it was why he had forced makuda to this Northern edge of baram Magna his last Gambit was about to pay off and by a miracle he was going to live to see it a shadow fell over the robots the shadow of the Moon of B Magna returning to its place of origin using the last of his energy matui Rose and shoved makuda backwards into the path of the planetoid its Edge impacted the robot smashing in the metallic head with a sickening crunch pterodax is armored form began to tble towards matui and the baram Magna desert and using every last bit of mechanical muscle he possessed matui caught makuda and pushed him aside causing the massive robot to fall and be impaled on the black spikes the impact of the robot crushed the mountains to powder even as the twin collisions of B Magna and aquam Magna shook the entire world and with that thousands of years of Anguish of suffering of death and darkness all of it was gone in an instant matui had prevailed and makuda pterodax was no more the three fragments of spherus Magna were one once again Destiny had been achieved but this journey was not yet at its end the battle was over the Bara Magna desert was a disaster area the surrounding mountains had been pulverized or were flattened and massive Scorch marks scarred the sand the ground was littered with the bodies of those who had lost their lives in The Clash alongside countless shattered pieces of Roxi armor dominating it all of course was the Fallen robot that had once been makuda pterodax greatest weapon tahu and takua stood on a dune looking at the metallic shell inside which they had lived their entire lives no doubt the inner workings had been heavily damaged and there would be casualties but as they watched the multitude streaming out of the robot they saw many familiar figures more than likely most had taken shelter of the initial quake and so survived the much larger shock they stumbled out onto the Sands TOA matorin villagers Vortex Traders Scotti barbarians agents of the order of matui dark Hunter Bandits animals Rahi Birds insects and more all shielding their eyes against the bright Sun of this new planet towering above the clouds to the skies above matui surveyed this Brave New World he watched as new species and populations mingled and met witnessing the birth of new culture and world order before his eyes the Maturin and agori had much to learn from each other the TOA team with the glorian would now Safeguard both sets of villagers from any threat natural alliances were being forged even now mattini turned his attention then to the Fallen form of makuda there was another Alliance that should have existed but never came to pass had he and pterodax worked together they could have restored spherus mag without the devastation and loss of life but pterodax greed and ambition wouldn't allow that and in the end both his mad dreams and the body he had stolen were wreckage makuda was the past it was time to worry about today and tomorrow for this world when he had gone to ranu and asked to take the agori city from them matui had made a vow to the agori and himself if he succeeded in rebuilding this planet he would not stop there he would give the agori a new life a new chance to thrive here and now was the time to begin that work and even though he knew that this Final Act of Creation would Doom his Spirit his mind and his body matui knew just what he had to do just as matoro had sacrificed himself to save the life of matui it was his own turn to pay the great debt owed to the world of spus Magna and its people and so with no fear or doubt in his heart Maui looked to the sky and stretched out his arms he summoned the energies that course through his body even as he called out to the mask of Life the mask at first resisted it too knew that it might well not survive this and it did not want to cease to exist matui could have forced the ignika to Aid him he truly had a stronger will but he did not instead he simply pictured in his mind how spherus Magna could be if this was successful he knew the mask would sense what was in his thoughts and it would know this would be the ultimate use of its power a moment later matui felt the power of the kohi ignika mask of Life merged with what little remained of his own then he willed that power to flow from his body and sweep across the planet everywhere it touched mountains Rose Forest flourished life appeared where none had been before in the desert of bar Magna time seemed to flow backwards as Barren sand gave way to a jungle teeming with trees and plants and long Dead Rivers returned to life the vast ocean of aquam Magna felt Maui's touch as well underwater plants flourished providing a bounty for the fish that swam in the sea the power of the mask of life touched even the Twisted mutated beings who lived in the depths curing them of the worst of their afflictions while leaving them to survive beneath the waves in the great Forest of bam Magna the giant biomechanical reptiles created so long ago by the great beings watched amazed as their Homeland shifted and changed all around them areas where trees and foliage had ceased to grow suddenly were green again smaller animals emerged from their hiding places to Feast on the new growth a gold and glatorian that stood in the once desert were speechless this was not the world they once knew it was better after 100,000 years of struggling to survive of scraping for every morsel of food and drop of water there was now enough for all as they watched in awe clouds gathered above their heads for the first time in living memory it began to rain in Bara Magna and with this Final Act of Creation matui fell tling downwards and crumpling Under The Strain and energy of Life both the robot and spirit of matui lay dormant once again arriving on a ridge by the collapse form of the robot tahu akar and Kina sat and mourned the loss of a God and friend agori matorin and glatorian had gathered now drawn by the sight of the great robot's collapse some looked grief stricken others merely puzzled and some fearful matui had granted them a new life and a new world and no doubt they expected him to lead them into the future instead he was gone and they were on their own again Kina turned back to the pile of wreckage damp from the gentle rain for a moment she thought a shaft of sunlight had forced its way through the clouds for there was a faint glow in the center of the rubble but then the glow grew brighter akar saw it to and climbed over the Twisted Metal to reach the source he reached down and emerged with the mask of life now gleaming brighter than a sun flaring so brightly that all present had to Shield their eyes from the light the spirit of matui echoed from The Mask thanking his friends and proclaiming Destiny fulfilled and so with the last remnants of his energy matui bid his friends with one final task seek out the great beings tell them that the planet his whole once more and convince them to share their gifts for matui himself had learned what it meant to have friends not subjects workers or soldiers true brothers and he hoped that the great beings may be able to do the same and to quote mattini all Journeys must come to an end but this time there is a new beginning as well there will be challenges to face and enemies to fight but I know you will overcome all that has gone before my friends has only served to give birth to this new day let Unity Duty and Destiny be your guides be well be strong care for this world and

the wreckage of the great spirit robot countless new life forms emerg on the Sands of what once was Bara Magna TOA glatorian matorin and agori stood together as one while tahoo delivered a final speech to his gathered friends the light and warmth of the mask of Life washed over the land healing ruined ecosystems and covering much of the wastelands with vast flora and fauna even the mutated Denis of the pit felt its warm the surviving baraki in particular reverting back to their normal Prime forms after so many years in the aftermath of the conflict what remained of The Old chroniclers Company reunited with maku typu tamaru and kopik helping to free those trapped in the rubble and Evacuate the now destroyed metru archives little did they know but kapura and Hau the remaining members of the company were Ed across the planet on the chunk of land that once was B Magna still held deep in the Fortress of the cursed great being with the other legendary Warriors and heroes as the weeks progressed and the denisons of the Maturin Universe became more and more accustomed to life on spherus Magna culture began to evolve and an ideological split began to emerge as mostly organic intelligent beings the glorian and aori would be forced to accept the beings of the murin universe in their ranks who were much more mechanical evolving from initially purely artificial intelligence in the darkness and wreckage of what was once the maturan universe the great being responsible for the sensient of every single maturan Universe species pondered his next moves no one would ever suspect him of course no one ever had in the earliest days of the matorin universe this great being was curious about the robot's inner workings and how matui would perform his task announcing to his fellow great beings that he was going into exile to remove suspicion he transer trans his mind into the body of a diminutive patur named valika taking his name as a pseudonym and placing his true body somewhere in stasis As Time passed valika recruited agents on the remnants of spherus Magna who had come to believe one crucial truth the events of the core war and shattering of spherus Magna had only the other great beings to blame for their poor leadership and willingness to sit back and only watch as Society collapsed around them despite being responsible for granting full ascensions to the inhabitants of the matorin universe valika had also come to a second realization any and all Maturin Universe inhabitants acting outside their parameters would have to be dealt with and eliminated with the most powerful being his first targets as for the rest he could deal with them at his leisure for Tova this new world of spherus Magna needed a firm strong hand to maintain order and rule over all and Vala was convinced he would succeed where his fellow great beings had failed and so valika made preparations to embark on a grand plan which to him would be a time-consuming if amusing exercise a sort of living strategy game in which only he knew the rules sending secret messages to his agents on the ground valika prepared his list of targets setting forth to fulfill his dark Plans for to him the inhabitants of the matoran universe were only truly alive because of his gift and to prevent another catastrophe like the shattering valika would be willing to do anything and kill anyone to keep the peace Elsewhere on spherus Magna the great being angon paced in fear when the Great beings created the matui Robot their plan was a simple one matui would return When the time was right heal the shattered remains of spherus Magna and then power down neither it nor the beings inside who kept it running would be needed anymore some great beings wanted to keep a few intact to study While others felt the materials could be better used in other projects no one advocated letting TOA matorin and all the others Run free on spherus Magna they weren't independent beings with a right to life and Liberty after all to the great beings they were mere tools to be used to keep Maui robot functioning but things had not gone quite as planned evidently there had been glitches in the AI of makuda matui and the great beings other creations instead of a simple repairing of the planet there had been a robot war in the bizarre site of nanotech creation nobly sacrificing themselves in battle and in many cases dying to save others this was not the behavior of biomechanical servants that was an actual new species fighting and dying for their freedom ordinarily this would have been a cause for celebration but at the same time that the great beings had failed to predict the future they had also planned a little too well during the core War the great beings had Unleashed a doomsday weapon that came to be called beta their goal was to end the War by force by eliminating any armed combatant they encountered once it became inevitable that the shattering would happen the great beings tried to use their fail safe to shut the beta down it failed and the beta remained active to this day this failure made them think about how much power each TOA would have if something went wrong upon Maui's return and the TOA were unleashed the agori would stand no chance against them suppose the TOA went bad suppose they wanted to conquer this new world if so then once again spherus Magna would be in Mortal danger as a result of the great being's actions that could not be allowed to happen they had little time but they put it to good use designing and building a new creation it existed for one purpose and one alone to destroy TOA the great beings believed no single TOA or team of TOA could hope to stand against it it was christened merendar an aori word meaning salvation and placed in a vault there mandar slept for thousands of years with no TOA to hunt or destroy but the Collision of the matorin universe with the newly restored spherus Magna meant a massive influx of new TOA on the planet and the automated sensors mendar utilized were immediately activated rushing to the Vault angon Came Upon a horrible sight it was too late the living weapon had already smashed its way out through 3 ft of metallic protodermis and was gone it would carry out its programming and kill any and every TOA on the planet angon pondered to himself the TOA thought they had found a new world but how could they know that nothing waited for them here but death part two saad's tale centuries ago before the core War and the shattering the agori of the iron tribe lived in the mountains of bam Magna and worked the mines they sent the iron dug out from the rock to the fire tribe for forging and in return were provided with finished tools and weapons they were rough and course but honored for their hard work and treated like any other agori iron tribe members lived a life full of hard honest work and didn't ask for anything more besides some minor quarrels with the scrawl the iron tribe was at peace with all who dwell on spherus Magna a respected corner of society but when the end came it came swiftly and quietly like a dagger to the back on the outskirts of iron aori land miners began to act strangely distracted quarrelsome and outright hostile these Disturbed aori reported only one thing their sleep had been Disturbed for they had stopped dreaming at first the symptoms were lefted off what use were dreams when all that mattered was a strength of their backs as they carved metal from Rock what did it matter if their sleep were unmarred by Illusions or fantasies but as the weeks grew longer one troubling fact became clear if you can't dream your Waking Life becomes the the nightmare the affected miners went from irritable to Violent in short order and from violent to mad for the agori dreams were needed to release the bad energies that accumulate in all of them without them the Mind tears itself to shreds and this dreaming plague was spreading as more and more of the iron tribe lost the ability to dream they began to die as raving lunatics and those recently infected were seized by horror and Desperation knowing the Fate that awaited them those who were seemingly immune like Samad and Taris were unaware as to why they retained the ability to dream as their Village descended into chaos around them Samad was forced to leave the love of his life a female iron aori afflicted by the plague who was driven mad and eventually died from the plague desperate to find a cure the Mad iron aori swarm s and Tois who banded together and fortified a cave Hideway as things got worse The Village leader appealed to other tribes for help the scrawl just laughed the other tribes wouldn't even allow him to cross the borders into their lands no one wanted the little bit of iron they still dug up believing it somehow might carry the disease and so all trade came to a stop when one of the still healthy agori tried to join another tribe he was driven off into the forest and killed by one of the beasts there as far as Samad was concerned he just as well may have been killed by the agori who rejected him being a member of the iron tribe now carried a death sentence if the plague didn't claim you you're one time trading partners would as the month stretched on the entire iron agori tribe was eventually killed off in a terrible genocide either by other aori or the dreaming plague the only survivors were Samad and Tois who used minerals to alter their armor color to avoid attention while the rest of their kin died off as the coroa erupted and the agori killed each other with weapons made of the very iron Samad and his kin ADM minded he only stood by and laughed bitter at how quickly they had turned against his tribe following the shattering Samad had only one regret the truth behind whatever or whoever had caused the dreaming plague was broken off on bam Magna and he had no way of reaching the planetoid to learn the truth eventually Samad and Taris went their separate ways with Taris constructing a massive war machine based on the scopio creatures robbing agori Caravans to make a living Samad on the other hand chose a different path consumed with Spite and rage against the other agori he formed an alliance with the scraw turning the agori themselves into Commodities and selling them as slaves leaving them wishing they had died in the plague along with samad's friends all that time one burning question consumed Samad what was responsible for the dreaming plague and why had it only affected his race and as the scrawl were driven from roxus two giant Metal Men battled in the skies and a host of new species emerge on the ferus Magna only one thing held samad's interest the chunk of land that was once bam Magna had been restored to spus Magna which meant that the answers behind the dreaming plague were once again in his reach Awakening from nightmares about losing his lover for a second time Samad embarked on a quest back to the region of bam Magna desperate to find the truth behind the plague along the way he reunited with Tois who had since lost his massive Scopia War Machine and promised to help him rebuild it when they returned they were surprised to encounter a long gray serpent coiled in the sand with Madness in its eyes just as Taris was about to kill the serpent it spoke begging for death for the serpent was metis the treacherous isori matui had transformed into a snake to reflect his true nature as sad and TOA stopped to hear what mettis had to say the serpent reflected on his drive to take revenge on all who had wronged him if not for the fact that something had recently changed as sad question medas on what was different the serpent slithered through the sand and looked up at him with desperation in his ice blue eyes I've stopped dreaming it whispered suddenly the desert seemed to grow very quiet and still and all Samad could hear was his own voice it's starting again part three the yesterday Quest as sad Taris and mettis thought answers to the dreaming plague and mendar awakened from its Slumber the toaa were absorbed in their next Quest fulfill the final task of matui and seek out the great beings and so tahu goali and onua split off on this pivotal Journey while kopaka and pohatu stayed behind to help matorin and agori build their society together and embark on their own missions joining tahu and his team were three freelance TOA who had been stationed in other regions of the maturan Universe on their own personal quests in the early years of the matorin universe TOA Kiara was a v matoran turned TOA of lightning who defended her Village against VIs invasions successfully fending off the scourge of Darkness even earlier than this TOA or was created by the great beings as one of the first TOA and was the first TOA of psionics in existence his first task was to use his mental powers on the Savage zlac to end the threat of the vicious beasts unfortunately due to his temper or lost control using his powers to make them even angrier and as a result all subsequent murin and TOA of psionic were later made female as the great beings believed them to be gentler than males during his career he once used his powers to save a dozen trap matorin from the dark Hunters only much later rescued by his team and lastly TOA Zaria was a Fator who eventually transformed into a TOA of iron after rebelling against the great spirit the Brotherhood of makuda began hunting down and killing TOA of iron which resulted in the death and Massacre of most of Zara's closest friends under these circumstances Zaria was forced to kill a makuda to survive violating these sacred TOA code in the process while the event haunted him to this day it sparked a rumor that he had made a habit of killing all his enemies and tahoo planned to use this troubled but driven individual to good use gathering this team of freelance TOA onua explained their mission for both tahu and G had already embarked on their own quest to seek out a site in the northern bam Magna jungles to build the city of nuo in the makeshift campsite they had constructed onua introduced the trio of TOA to the veteran glatorian Galu who would serve as their guide on spherus Magna traveling north to what was once the independent Celestial body of bam Magna Galu and the three TOA rode into a narrow Valley bordered by Deep Woods preparing for an ambush Galu tasked or with scanning for mental energy sensing dozens of mindes buzzing and suddenly going silent the four Warriors prepared for an ambush Kiera hurling lightning energy into the trees to draw out their attackers just then there was a blast of energy and the warriors were hurled into a net trapped by mysterious combatants to G's surprise their captors were vorox but instead of using crude Spears and Stinger Tails these vorox wielded sophisticated weapons and spoke perfect to Gory for these were the intelligent vorox of bam Magna who had evolved radically differently compared to their southern kin on Bara Magna as the TOA bickered and struggled against their captors Galu was focused on only one person the leader of the vorox tribe introducing himself as kabua the chief vorox explained how they had evolved differently thriving on bam Magna unforgiving of how his vorox kin were treated on baram Magna kabua devised a cruel plot hunt Galu or Kiara and Zaria just as the vorox were hunted on Bara Magna as revenge for the atrocities committed to their race and as the four prisoners were LED away Galu came to a crucial realization there was no way that kabua would have known anything about the Bara Magnavox nor did he possess the knowledge or intellect to create such sophisticated technology unless he was working with a great being little did Galu know but kuua was one of aika's secret agents and fully committed to his cause the next morning the warriors were released into the forest hunted by vorox setting up an ambush in the jungle Galu and or split off from the group sending Kiara and Zaria to act as bait as they prepared to Ambush the vorox but to their horror none of their elemental powers were working laughing in Victory kabua explained that he knew the secret to shut off the power of atoa only further cementing galo's suspicions that he served a great being and as G and or fled the scene they realized that kaba's power dampeners only worked in a short radius and or's pionic Powers were quickly flooding back to him and as he rushed through the jungles of bam Magna scanning the minds of beings around them he stopped in shock and Horror in brief flashes or had scanned the mind of kabua who knew of Thea's dark Plans one of the beings from his universe one who was on spherus Magna now was really a great being living among the matorin all this time hidden fooling them all in horror or explained that this mysterious great being had waited over 100,000 years to return to spherus Magna concealed in another body and his dark Plans for their world must be stopped if there was still time part four the powers that be while valika began to set his grand plan into motion and the team of TOA encountered trouble in the jungles of bam Magna TOA kopaka traveled across the lands gaining information on his new environment and acting a scout for the rest of the maturan universe beings over his journeys he had come across a band of barbaric Scotti trailed by a seemingly subservient team of toam Mari on a journey across baram Magna leading this bizarre Entourage was a massive golden skinned being the combination of all six paraka with other life forms as kopaka watched the the golden skinned being generated a massive castle with just a wave of his hand materializing The Fortress from thin air rushing back to Camp to warn the others kopaka came across toag gaki who offered the help of the toah haa in seeking out this dangerous new life form promising the toaga would scout out the situation and report back gaki and the others left kopaka in the village who reunited with pohatu assisting the villagers with Salvage missions and creating cooling shelters for those laboring in what was left of the bar Magna desert just just then kopaka and pohatu were accosted by TOA leovic who was consumed with rage and guilt demanding to know who among them had freed the Mad Titan carani from his imprisonment levic set out on a singular quest to relocate carani and bring him to justice for somehow he had been freed from captivity by beings unknown and was now free to prey on the inhabitants of this new world while kopaka suggested they search party lesic refused and left to search for carani on his own making his way to the iron Canyon lovic finally Tracked Down The Mad Titan but just before he had a chance to confront karani lvic was struck in a flash of blinding light and was knocked down by the great being valika who stole his air sword and brutally murdered karani with levik's weapon smashing his armor to bits and carving up his organs in a gruesome display when lvic came to his sword and carani were both gone and he was left blindsided as to who or what had attacked for valika in his hopes to inspire fear and distrust among the villagers had just framed lvic for the murder of karani and it didn't take long for kpaka and pohatu to come across the mutilated body lvic sword still impaled in his back Gathering the body kopaka and pratu brought it back to the agori and Muran camp tahu and go had returned from their scouting mission to the north only to be greeted with this Grimm news a rogue TOA on the loose would only encourage distrust among the agorian glatorian and this was the worst possible time for such a murder to take place as the four TOA conversed groups of agori began to spread rumors amongst themselves suspecting the TOA of killing karani themselves and so tahu and goly stayed behind to quell their fears and suspicions while kopaka and pohatu set off to find lvic or whoever was framing him the two TOA rode North for 3 Days the land turned from brown to Green Lush Forest replacing sand dudes they saw no sign of lvic or anyone else more than once pohatu wondered aloud what had happened to Lewa but Lewa had vanished before the defeat of makuda and had not been seen since as kopaka and pohatu began to argue over who the true killer was and why exactly karani had been killed they were interrupted by movement up ahead a scream rippled through their minds one made up of pure Agony and something more complete shock the mental cry was so powerful both TOA fell from their mouths hands covering their audio receptors that did no good this scream wasn't a physical one but a telepathic one and it brought with it flashes of imagery neither TOA would ever forget when it finally subsided kopaka was the first to his feet before phatu could stop him he ran for the woods and when the toe of stone caught up to kopaka he found him standing over what looked like a piece of scarlet gelatin pohatu glanced around and saw that similar objects cover the ground for hundreds of yards for these were the chopped up pieces of Tren crom who had seemingly been transported to Bam Magna just to be brutally murdered in another Twisted display for all to see someone or something had reduced him to pieces in an instant and left no obvious Clues behind and while there were now two high-profile murders to solve kopaka was rattled by something else out of all the images thrust into his mind by trencrom's throws of death one stood Out Among the rest the enigmatic red star before kopaka and pohatu had a chance to process this Revelation they were interrupted by a grotesque being who had been lurking in the trees a strange multi-limbed and winged life form who called himself GIS years ago GIS had once been a Maturin then a group of NRA ghosts pushed their experiments too far moving to Scientific tests on other living beings these now exiled NR ghost took GIS and subjugated him to horrific tests and mutations in a quest to make the perfect weapon imbuing him with powerful teleportation abilities the NRA ghost constructed guard is to wield a powerful skill any play place he had been to before he could instantly teleport himself and others too but GIS escaped hunting them down one by one until none of them were left remaining in his village in anticipation for the nimra ghost to be returned following the repairs in the red star guardis lurked for years operating under a single drive to brutally kill those who had mutilated him again and again for all eternity fardis knew the true secret of the red star and its proper function in the Muran Universe in the early days of the universe the great beings created the remote Red Star Satellite as a booster pack to the universe serving one crucial function conserve the robot's finite Resources by Reviving its inhabitants when they died the deceased were transported from the murin universe to the red star where they would be placed in a new body and sent back to man The Red Star the great beings created the custora and for centuries the red star operated as created Reviving any beings who died and transporting them back to their homes in the matorin universe but something went horribly wrong when GIS was eventually killed due to his incredibly mutated and misshapen form the red star systems were not prepared for such a deviation from the standard species and malfunctioned sending GIS back down to the matorin universe in a final burst of energy the red star fell dormant and any being who was killed in the matoran universe would be trapped on the red star permanently worse still while revived being were intended to retain their memories and intact mental functions the traumatic and damaged process of Revival resulted in their thoughts being scrambled transforming them into little more than reanimated violent corpses and so the red star continued to soar overhead orbiting the great spirit robot but unable to perform its key task when makuda pterodax flew the robot to baram Magna and matui restored the planet the red star still circled overhead enigmatic and Out Of Reach with the robot got destroyed the red star would not be summoned into use again and yet it still hung among the true Stars waiting waiting for a call that would never come meanwhile GIS had sought to make a peaceful life in isolation on spherus Magna escaping the maturan universe only to witness trenro materialized before him in an instant and be murdered by something moving faster than his eye could see he could not understand what he was seeing but this was the work of valika yet again who had murdered the ancient entity in a cruel and terrifying manner to spread panic and fear so the populace would be ripe for his rule but in the last seconds of his life trenro had used his mental powers to warn kopaka pohatu and GIS of one crucial thing something up on the red star was connected to his death and it was now their mission to find it and so despite his complaints GIS agreed to teleport kopaka and Batu up to the mysterious red star and as the world swirled around them the three Warriors found themselves inside a curved hallway the walls made of a combination of metal bands and organic tissue much like the biomechanical insides of the TOA themselves just then they were accosted by three Castor who were amazed to see sensient beings materialize in the star for all others who were revived were mere shells inhabiting shambling bodies when the Castor refused to listen to reason and explained the purpose of the red star kopaka flash froze him solid but in the commotion GIS disappeared and the two toan NOA were left alone on the red star the two TOA had gone about 100 yards when the light suddenly went out and now they could hear movement from all around them there were Whispers too but they couldn't make out the words kopaka triggered his akaku NOA piercing the walls around him with ex-ray vision in One Direction there was nothing to see but outer space but in the other he saw Terrible Things sights that left him trembling and terrified as he urged pohatu to move awful sounds began to rattle all around them growing ever closer some sounded like rodent skittering others like bodies being dragged across a metal floor at one point the TOA saw a lighted Corridor up ahead but as they approached the lights went off there too and worse the noises were starting to come from up ahead as well as behind boxed in the TOA NOA could barely make out grotesque shapes in the fog reanimated corpses of long dead friends and foes alike all driven by a basic desire to hunt and kill part five nightmare while kopaka and pohatu faced the horrors on the red star Galu and or uncovered the secrets of alika's plan and mendar Drew ever closer to the TOA civilization Samad and Taris were confronting metis in the desert demanding to know exactly where he had been struck with the dreaming plague and how to avenge the iron agori who had been needlessly killed so many years ago but before sad had a chance to question mettis further the ground opened up beneath them slimy red tentacles seizing the three beings there wasn't even time to yell as the sky above sad was replaced by Earth and Clay as he was ripped from the realm of light and sent hurling down into a world of Shadows after what seemed like an eternity of Darkness sad awoke with a start he was lying on a cot in a large room filled with Wounded or ill agori approached by a water agori nurse sad demanded to know exactly what had happened only for the agori to claim he had been asleep for 750 years and was now in the Grand Village of new ATO approached by an age glorian Samad was shocked to see Kina claim all had been forgiven and Samad was now welcome in this new city to Samad it all looked sounded and felt real but he knew it wasn't there was no way Kina and the rest of the glatorian would ever forgive him and 750 years was not enough to wipe out over 100 Millennia of Suspicion fear and disgust as sad rushed from the healing Chambers racing past familiar faces all around him a sight in the center of the Market Square stopped him firm it was his old lover who had died from the dreaming plague more than 100,000 years ago aiming a glistening silver weapon to his head samad's lover fired at Point Blank Range there was impact a flash of light the dull Roar of an explosion and Samad was dead again then Darkness became light sad was back in his healer's chamber but this time he was surrounded by Iron agori simultaneously the patients sat up from their beds speaking in one voice claiming he was just as weak as Taris mettis and all the other iron aori The Voice laughed and stated that to them weak Souls tasted lovely demanding that his cap reveal themselves the iron aori morph before samad's eyes and before him were dozens of the sisters of the scraw all with Glazed Expressions and muted eyes speaking as one the sisters began to laugh yet again and the voice that echoed from their mouths was the terrible voice of the ancient entity Anana consumer of dreams and source of the original dreaming plague that ravages tribes so many years ago explaining that she had consumed the minds of the sisters of the scrawl Now using their bodies as her puppets Anana Finally Revealed herself to sad too hideous to even comprehend as Samad faced an True Form she revealed that all that tragedy all that loss so many years AG go was merely her lunch for she had gotten hungry and feasted on dreams as the sisters of the scrawl shambled towards him Samad was rescued last minute by Taris and mettis who was perplexingly in a gory form once again stumbling upon the surface of spherus Magna sad Taris and mettis fled andas Den the immense tentacled being Breaking Free into the Skies of the new world radiating with brilliant red light and thrusting tentacles in every direction Anana blasted forwards to aquam Magna followed closely by Samad and his gang materializing in the ocean regions of aquam Magna Samad observed a colossal Fortress gleaming in the Moonlight and aana slowly rising up towards that Fortress when the three Warriors reached the beach and climbed up to the castle a nightmare has seen faced them scoty barbarians poured forth in drobes fighting thin air for Anana had diverted them with Illusions the radiance moved towards the vast doors of the Fortress with nothing standing in its way nothing that is until the doors burst open from the inside and something stepped out into the light the newcomer was 12 ft tall with golden skin and Rippling muscles its eyes and face were vaguely reptilian and it looked at Anana through the narrow slits of those eyes this was the golden skinned being who stood forth to challenge Anana who had come to his Fortress to feed for the golden skinned being had the hypnotic power to turn dreams into reality making him the prime target for a primordial being like Anana as she flared brighter sad and his team were blinded and they could only hear the voices of the two foes around them as the ground shook violently beneath Samad and Anana began to scream in pure pain the golden skin being prepared is counter attack Anana all crimson and fiery Brilliance was an Agony Spears of rock had suddenly erupted from the ground and pierced the energy being and she red in pain the golden skinned being proclaimed that the dreams of his people give him life and now they dreamed of her death giving him power over even a being like her and just as sad was about to watch The lovecraftian Entity succumb to her injuries all around the golden being his Warriors began to collapse some sank to their knees some babbling insanely others Drew their weapons and started advancing on their leader taken off guard the golden skinn being stumbled backwards all while Anana wrenched herself free of the spikes a peel of laughter coming from her core as she assumed the latent dream energy of all those around her sad watched in horror as the golden skin being recoiled in fear behind him his Fortress was starting to waver and blur worse there were things appearing in the windows others slithering or crawling across the landscape in fear the golden being lashed out at Anana explaining that he had no choice but to bring the dreams of his followers to life even the dreams of the man all around Samad the ground buckled The Fortress itself melting and the dreams of the deranged began to spiral outwards all around them in the confusion the toari Broke Free of their trance coming to their senses just to witness the epic Clash between the golden being and Anana with the Fortress completely dissolved The Horizon was full of gibbering things some practically formless some with forms you could still see even when you closed your eyes the golden being was retreating back towards them but he was off balance and rattled it was going to be over in a matter of minutes at that moment Tois snapped brandishing a stick and screaming as he rushed to Anana the iron aori died midscreen in a stupid Reckless and idiotic sacrifice just as he died Samad and mettis rushed to the Rock Spike that had once wounded Anana and they hurled the spikes as hard as they could toward the miniature tentacled star that was when sad saw the golden being looking right at him somehow he could hear what the being was saying even from so far away then s knew exactly what he had to do both of those powerful entities thrived on dreams andana fed off the kind you have at night good or bad the golden being took the ones you had in your heart or the darkest parts of your soul the aspirations hopes wishes and true desires and made them real there were a hundred ways he could attack Anana but only one that would really hurt Samad closed his eyes again and dreamed a dream and in his dream no one on spherus Magna no one on any world anywhere near could dream or wish or hope he dreamed that there were no more dreams opening his eyes Samad felt it The Emptiness the void Left Behind when dreaming stops the same feeling his tribe had experienced just before they died but this time the dream energy had not been stolen from them it had simply ceased to be faltering Anana hovered in the air before the golden being until until she finally proposed a deal to end their conflict should the golden being create a pocket Universe a world filled with beings where she could live and feed she would leave spherus Magna and the golden being's Empire alone and she would be Satan and so the golden being bestowed the gift of dreaming upon samon and he envisioned the perfect punishment for the ancient entity dreaming up a world filled with beings just like her Samad created the perfect death trap Anana and her kin would feed off of each other for all eternity eventually killing each other off in this pocket Dimension and so as the golden skinned being made this dream a reality and Anana faded from our world he approached Samad who dreamed one final dream that all onus Magna could dream again thus restoring the power of the golden skinned being and preventing anyone from ever succumbing to the dreaming plague again promising Samad would hear from him again the golden being set off to rebuild its Fortress with PL to seize all of spherus Magna for itself as for Samad he headed north finally at peace and seeking to pay his respects to all the iron trib aori slain by Anana part six a dark Horizon in the jungle of bam Magna the cursed great being regarded the assembled beings before him toan Nua liwa araka toah helx toat tuyet axon brutaka makuda Miser vzon Hau and kapura all stood before him demanding his freedom in exchange for rescuing them from outer space as the assembled beings debated on whether or not to free the captive great being Lea left the Fortress flying high over the great jungle the area in which he now stood was one of the most beautiful he had ever seen even more stunning than the jungles of matui he used his power to soar above the trees taking in the Majestic Forest beautiful Rivers rolling Fields And even cybernetically enhanced giant rep Iles vast dinosaurs with technological implants that roam the lands swooping down for a closer view Lea spotted movement on the forest floor this time it wasn't reptiles but villagers not too different in size from matoran as these strange jungle agori approached him brandishing crude axes Spears and clubs Lea attempted to communicate with them and despite him not speaking their language he managed to explain that he had come from The Fortress of the cursed great being and the next thing Lea knew the points of countless Spears were at his throat back at the imposing Fortress of rock and mortar valika lurked in the jungle the cursed great being inside was of little importance to valika what was important about that building was who else was inside it now axon brutaka and toah helx Veteran warriors makuda misx with all the power his title implied araka wearer of the mask of creation tatuat who was mightier than all the others knew and vason gifted with the ability to move through Dimensions the way others move through air so many beings of power all in one spot an alluring Target for Vala's plans so far he had killed trencrom and carani one a Madman the other a gelatinous mass of hot air neither proved to be much of a challenge although the two Heroes investigating the murders kopaka and pohatu had recently vanished Vala was not overly concerned they would turn up eventually for his plan acquired it in the same way the sight of toal liwa being dragged off by nature-loving agori was at best a minor obstacle if NE be valika would affect a rescue in some indirect way before the TOA air could get into any real Jeopardy for of course the TOA ma were far too important to have their lives sacrificed needlessly valika planned to kill them eventually of course but it would be at a time of his own choosing but now fate seemed to have altered his circumstances so many of his targets all in the same place offered the opportunity to accelerate his timetable and it was much too good of an opportunity for valika to miss preparing an explosive device to render The Fortress and its inhabitants dust valika looked upon his work and pronounced it good humming to himself he began to carve a memorial marker for all those about to die back on the red star kopaka and pohatu were surrounded by reanimated corpses desperate for a way out only to be rescued by a mysterious figure pushed into a deserted hidden room in the darkness they were brought face to face with the onu maturan mavra who had aided the TOA metru so many years ago back on metr Nui before facing a tragic end massacred by wild rocki he had once loved somehow MAV had made his way onto the red star despite being killed and offered to unlock many more secrets within and with the toan nuva scattered and in danger the toam Mari still barely reeling from the control of the golden being and Powerful new threats on the horizon thus ends this biological Chronicle with the story cut off just as major new developments arose all Journeys must
