Avohkii
From BIONICLEsector01, working on 1,439 articles.
- "Truly no more vile or disgusting thing has ever been created in this universe. There it was in the hands of Teridax, not even having the courtesy to be the color of a lump of clay when not being worn-–oh, no, the Avohkii gleamed golden. Locked within it was the one power we Makuta dreaded, and the unspoken promise of something far worse-–the existence, someday, of an actual Toa of Light."
- — Mutran, The Mutran Chronicles

[carve] History
The Kanohi Avohkii was created on the island of Artakha. 2,500 years before the Voya Nui saga, Makuta Kojol stole the mask from Artakha for the Brotherhood of Makuta. 1,200 years later, the Toa Hagah stole it from Destral, the Brotherhood of Makuta headquarters. After their mutation into Rahaga, they continued to carry it with them during their search for the Rahi Keetongu. Eventually settling on Metru Nui, the Rahaga hid the mask in the Archives, locking it away with the Makoki Stones.
When the Toa Metru were mutated into Toa Hordika, the Rahaga sent them on a quest for the Kanohi Avohkii. To retrieve it, the Toa had to track down and retrive the Makoki Stones. After their adventures, the mutated Toa were able to used the Stones to unlock the Mask of Light hiding place. Onewa then used his Stone powers to encase the mask within rock. This allowed them to successfully smuggle it out of the city unnoticed. The Toa Metru later took the mask with them to Mata Nui.
Over one thousand years later, the Mask of Light was released from its bonds of stone by Takua, who accidentally dropped it into a lava stream in Ta-Wahi. After it was unintentionally revealed, Turaga Nokama translated writing on the back of the mask, which explained that the Seventh Toa, a Toa of Light, would soon come to destroy Makuta Teridax. Two Matoran--Takua and Jaller--were chosen to find the Toa of Light. To do this, they had to cross the island, racing against the Rahkshi. They eventually reached the Kini-Nui at the center of Mata Nui. After Jaller was killed by a Turahk in battle, Takua put on the mask and was transformed into the seventh Toa, Takanuva.
During Takanuva's battle with Teridax, the Kanohi Avohkii was merged with the Kanohi Kraahkan when the two fighters fell into Energized Protodermis. The being formed from the melded mask-wearers, Takutanuva, briefly opened the gateway to Metru Nui. After the gateway fell on Takutanuva, the Mask of Light was used to resurrect Takanuva. During the Karda Nui saga, its appearance was altered by a Shadow Leech that attacked Takanuva, and became gray. After Takanuva was cured by a Klakk, the Kanohi Avohkii returned to its original shape and color.
[carve] The Kingdom
Takanuva was among the Matoran Universe's survivors following Mata Nui's death in the "The Kingdom" Pocket Dimension. There, Takanuva fulfilled his destiny by driving away the remainder of the Brotherhood of Makuta. He then sacrificed his Toa Power to create six new Toa, and became a Turaga. As such, his Kanohi Avohkii transformed into a Noble Mask.
[carve] Powers
Great: The Great Kanohi Avohkii gives its user Toa-level range and strength of Elemental Light powers. It can spread understanding to others, causing peace and trust. It can also sense light in others. It is one of the few Kanohi to have Elemental Powers. However, it will not boost any pre-existing Elemental Light powers.
Noble: The difference between this and the Great version is that its strength of Elemental Light is lower and the duration of its effects are shorter.
[carve] Example Usage
In Dark Destiny, while Takanuva was in a tunnel that absorbed all light, he used the Mask of Light to shoot out a thin laser beam.

[carve] Set Information
The Kanohi Avohkii was released in three colors in 2003. In the Takanuva and Ussanui set, a golden Kanohi Avohkii was packaged within it. A translucent Kanohi Avohkii with golden glitter was also included in the set to represent the mask in use. The Makuta (Teridax) set contained two silver Avohkii used as hands.
A contest held in 2003 rewarded the winner with a solid platinum Kanohi Avohkii, the only one of its kind.
An altered version of the Kanohi Avohkii was released in summer 2008 with the new, partially light-drained Takanuva set. In addition to being shaped differently, this edition of the Kanohi Avohkii is metallic gray instead of gold due to the light drain.
