History
Onu-Metru is best known as the home of the legendary Archives, although they now stretch under most of Metru Nui. Onu-Metru is also home to Metru Nui's Cavern of Light, where miners dig up Protodermis, Ore, and Lightstones for use all over the city. Most Onu-Matoran are Miners or Archivists, and are so used to underground work that they have developed their own form of night vision.
During the Matoran Civil War, Onu-Metru sided with the Ta-Matoran. To stop the conflict, Teridax trapped great amounts of the armies in the Archives, and unleashed the exhibits onto them, in what would be known as the Archives Massacre.
Around a month before the Great Cataclysm occurred, Toa Lhikan went to Onu-Metru and delivered to Whenua a Toa Stone, with which he became one of the Toa Metru. Some time after Whenua retrieved the Onu-Metru Great Disk, Nuparu went to Whenua and told him about a leak in the Maintenance Tunnels of the Onu-Metru Archives that could potentially worsen and cause the sea to rush into the Archives. The Toa Metru ventured into the Archives, but decided to split up as the path divided into six. Soon it appeared the Toa Metru were turning on each other, until it was discovered that a shape-shifting Rahi called Krahka had been assuming different forms of each of the Toa Metru. She was quickly defeated when she shapeshifted into an amalgamation of all six Toa Metru, but the powers of the six Toa were too much to bear and caused too much strain, so she was forced to retreat in the form of a Lava Eel.
Following the Great Cataclysm, the Archives were breached and shattered open, unleashing all the different types of wild Rahi that were held in there upon the city. When the Visorak moved into Metru Nui, Onu-Metru was heavily guarded due to the fact that the Visorak could get easier access to the Archives and mutate any of the Rahi that stayed inside the Archives. By the time the Visorak horde disbanded, the Onu-Metru region was severely damaged by the earthquake and the rampage of the wild Rahi.
About 1,000 years later, the Turaga, Toa Nuva and Matoran returned to Metru Nui, and work began to rebuild the city. When Ta-Metru was repaired, Onu-Metru was slowly being reconstructed by the Matoran, and was later repaired entirely by the Staff of Artakha. Despite the Staff of Artakha doing its job in repairing everything, it is still dangerous for Matoran to go into the Archives due to the large number of wild Rahi that are still free there.
