BIONICLE Legends 3: Power Play is the third book in the BIONICLE Legends series. It tells the story of the Toa Inika and how they battled against the Piraka, which eventually leads to the discovery of the pathway to the Chamber of the Mask of Life.
Synopsis
After witnessing the crushing defeat of the Toa Nuva and Voya Nui Resistance Team at the hands of his former partner and friend, Brutaka, Axonn rested, recalling how it had all led to this. He and Brutaka had been stationed on Voya Nui to protect and watch over the legendary Mask of Life, in the service of the Order of Mata Nui. While there, they saw the ascent of Voya Nui from the Southern Continent, the fall of Mahri Nui, and countless volcanic eruptions from Mount Valmai. Soon after the Great Cataclysm, Brutaka began to lose faith in the Great Spirit, Mata Nui, believing him to be dead, or that he left their Universe. Brutaka continued to serve the Order of Mata Nui, but his heart was no longer in his work. Soon, he betrayed Axonn and the Order, and allied with the Piraka in order to get the Mask of Life for himself.
Similarly, Brutaka also recalled these memories, while hauling four of the members of the Voya Nui Resistance Team outside, as one was being questioned, and the other had escaped. As he turned to leave, he saw a deadly Doom Viper about to attack the Matoran. He activated his Olmak, Mask of Dimensional Gates, and dropped the Doom Viper into searing lava, saving the Matoran. Troubled by his noble actions, Brutaka left.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Voya Nui Resistance Team, Garan, was being questioned in the Chamber of Truth by Vezok. Garan, not wanting to betray his friends, lied to all the questions but the last, which referred to six Spirit Stars that had appeared in the sky. Garan replied that it was no trick of theirs, and that there were six new Toa on the island to destroy the Piraka. Before Garan could act, he was thrown into a crevice full of lava, and was moments away from death. Soon, Balta and the others broke into the Chamber and rescued him, beating Vezok, and ran to safety.
Fresh from their adventures in the deadly realm of Karzahni, the newly born Toa Inika took shelter in a cave to figure out what had just happened. They discovered that they had become Toa, and their unique masks were, in reality, alive. Whenever they removed their masks, their faces gave off a blinding light. Nuparu, skeptical to the odds of the team's success, pointed out how much time it would take to master their mask powers. As this thought crossed his mind, his mask power activated, vaulting him into the ceiling of the cave. When they departed the next day, a similar phenomenon happened, and Nuparu was hurled into the sky, and, to his amazement and fear, flying. Back on the ground, it was complete chaos. Each of the Toa were trying to figure out a way to get him back to the ground, but Matoro had activated his mask, and was only able to speak to Hahli, due to her mask power. Hahli told the others that Matoro had spotted an odd figure. They managed to coax Nuparu close enough to the ground to travel with them, and the group soon encountered a large chasm full of lava, with no sight of the figure Matoro mentioned.
To cross the chasm, Nuparu used his mask power to fly each of the Toa to the other side. No problem struck until he carried Hahli. A wind veered Nuparu off course, and he accidentally dropped Hahli. Subconciously, Jaller ran and caught Hahli, and, his mask allowed him to land on the other side. After a small discussion, the Toa encountered Vezok not far from their current location. A brief struggle ensued, during which Vezok found out that their Antidermis Zamor Spheres did not work on the Toa Inika, and the Toa Inika had captured him. He soon, though, freed himself from his bonds, and escaped the Toa.
Garan arrives and explains the events of Voya Nui so far to the Inika. They arrive at the Matoran's base of operations, and are relieved to find Dalu among them. Velika gives them new Zamor Launchers loaded with Energized Protodermis. The Inika then split up. Hahli, Jaller, Dalu, and Piruk use the Zamor spheres to free several Matoran working nearby and add them to their ranks. Matoro, Hewkii, Balta, and Kazi go to meet Axonn, who has been badly injured by Brutaka. Nuparu, Kongu, Velika, and Garan go to the Piraka Stronghold to find the Toa Nuva. They encounter Nektann, but manage to get inside. They find a room with several strange training devices and the Nuva's masks on the wall. They move on and find Brutaka and the six Piraka. They get ready for battle, as the other four Matoran and Toa burst in to join the fight. They are almost completely defeated when Hakann reveals what he has been plotting with Avak, Thok, and Reidak. He has a Zamor Sphere that contains Vezok's power to absorb another creature's ability. He shoots it at Brutaka, but at the last second Thok manages to collide with Hakann, splitting Brutaka's immense power between the two. Hakann uses a mind blast to knock out all the rest of the Piraka, Inika, and Matoran. Then he and Thok leave.
After walking through the forest Hakann and Thok begin to fight, determined to be the only supreme being on the island. Hakann uses his heat vision to cause a gas chamber far below to explode, sending them both reeling. The Inika arrive, ready to fight the super-powered duo. The Piraka arrive soon after, with a Zamor Sphere that will reverse what Thok and Hakann did. They fight and eventually succeed in returning Brutaka's power. Axonn and Brutaka both begin to fight, while the Inika go after the Piraka, who have all fled into the tunnel leading to the Mask of Life, uncovered by the explosion Hakann created. Down below, Vezon and his steed rise from the lava, waiting for their new friends to come and meet their doom.
