Saga Guides/The Great Rescue
From BIONICLEsector01, working on 1,498 articles.
The Toa Metru traveled to the ocean surrounding Metru Nui, to go back to the island. But unfortunately, they had forgotten one thing. On their first trip across the ocean, the Toa had sailed a Vahki Transport with Matoran Spheres lashed to the bottom to keep it afloat. The spheres and transport were now on the beaches of the island refuge the Toa had discovered. With no boat, the only other option was for those Toa who flew to carry those who did not across the ocean, far too great a distance to be practical. That left only one choice: searching until they found some other way to make the journey.
The Toa set off to explore the beach and discovered a number of vaulted chambers left over from when Teridax had used the area as a base. Most had long since been abandoned by whatever Rahi the dark one had left on guard. But there was nothing to be seen that would be of help to the Toa Metru. Vakama spotted a second door and headed deeper into the vaults, where he found Vahki and transport parts. Vakama encountered a creature consisting of only flames. The creature was incredibly hot, hot enough to be harmful even to a Toa of Fire such as Vakama. After a life-threatening battle, he defeated the creature by absorbing all the heat in the room, and although the temperature drop caused the creature to freeze, it also harmed Vakama. Then he unleashed the fire with a giant blast right through the miles of chambers behind him.
After the fight, the Toa gathered together and used the transport parts Vakama found with Karzanhi's roots to keep it afloat. As they boarded the new boat, christened Lhikan II, none of the Toa noticed a small, green shoot growing from one of the logs. It would be an oversight they would come to regret.
As they advanced towards the great city of Metru Nui, Nuju, by using his telescopic lens, saw a large number of Rahkshi, Rahi, and webs on the dark and crumbling city. As Whenua had feared, the city's Archives have been broken and the Rahi are roaming around Metru Nui. As they travel along the ocean, the ship was struck by a storm, and the Toa wash ashore on Metru Nui, with the Lhikan II completely destroyed.
After a moment's delay that was caused by Nuju, Onewa, and Matau being stuck in the muck on the beach, the Toa headed to the Coliseum, going through Le-Metru on their way. Matau and Whenua scouted ahead, encountering four Vahki. But these were not normal Vahki: they spoke Matoran in a clear voice, could automatically rebuild their bodies, and their staffs were able to release destructive blasts. Matau and Whenua were able to destroy them, and they hurried back to the other Toa, but the Vahki recovered behind them.
Whenua and Matau told the other Toa what they had seen, and Onewa lead them to the Vahki Hive to find out what had happened to the Vahki. Once they had arrived, they came to the conclusion that when Teridax overloaded the power plant, the feedback shot through the hives and most of the Vahki were destroyed by it. The ones that weren't destroyed absorbed the energy surge and were changed. As Onewa explained, the Vahki were always able to talk, but at such a high pitch and speed that no one understood them. But the energy surge affected their speech centers.
Then the Toa were attacked by another group of Vahki. While Matau kept them busy by shape shifting into a Vahki himself, the other five Toa fled into a crack in the wall of the Moto-Hub. But Matau ran into trouble, as the Vahki thought that he was a malfunctioning Vahki and wanted to take him apart; then a Rhotuka spinner rushed through the air and burned through the Vahki's staffs. A second spinner burned through an overhanging beam on the face of the Moto-Hub. It crashed to the ground, bringing a ton of masonry with it, blocking the entrance through which the six heroes of Metru Nui had passed.
Matau caught up with the other Toa and they continued down the Moto-Hub, where they encountered an entity made out of sonic energy. Every time the Toa tried to hit it, The entity countered with a deafening sonic explosion. They were eventually able to defeat it by having Matau suck out all the air in the room, creating a vacuum, and having Nuju hit it with an ice beam. The entity wasn't able to fend the beam off with a sonic explosion, for without air, there can be no sound. After defeating the creature, they continued and escaped the Moto-Hub through an emergency hatch. The Toa went through and they stood on top of the archway, looking at the sky. Through the perpetual mist, thousands of glittering points of light could be seen. At first, Matau thought the points of light were stars. But soon Nuju realized that they were eyes from the spider-like creatures named Visorak and immediately pulled the other Toa back in.
Before they could discuss the situation, they were attacked by a ten-foot-long mutated Lohrak with a wingspan nearly twice that. The specimen also possessed sonic powers, something ordinary Lohrak didn't have. Several Vahki also joined the fight. After a while, Nuju shot ice at the Lohrak's wings and forced it to head towards Ta-Metru and melt the ice off, so it can fly again. Matau defeated the Vahki by creating a cyclone, causing the Vahki to crash down into the ground. During the fight, Onewa and Nokama were separated from the others and vanished in the Archives, under the Moto-Hub. A group of Suukorak followed them, since all the Visorak were given the orders to capture the Toa Metru for Roodaka, the Visorak viceroy. The Suukorak attacked Onewa and Nokama, trapping Onewa in an electrical prison created by the Suukorak's Rhotuka. But the other Toa Metru came down to help Onewa and Nokama, so the Suukorak quickly retreated.
Vakama decided to quickly head to the Coliseum and save the Matoran, before the Visorak would know what they were doing. So the group headed through the Archives towards the Coliseum. The Toa found a wounded Ash Bear, which was also known as Graalok, and healed it by combining their elemental powers into a bubble of water Nokama had made, and let the water wash over the Ash Bear. The Rahi quickly fled into the darkness, in search of a safer place. Whenua opened the hatch, slowly and carefully. He looked from side to side, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. The Toa Metru climbed out of the Archives and onto the street. The Coliseum loomed over them. The Toa Metru continued on towards the Coliseum, but were ambushed and subsequently captured by a group of Keelerak using their paralyzing Rhotuka.
Toa Hordika
The Toa Metru were trapped in cocoons and hung high above Metru Nui, outside the Coliseum. Slowly, their bodies were transformed into Hordika by the venom of the cocoons, and their new bodies ripped through the cocoons, plunging them down into the darkness. They would have crashed into the ground and died, had not the Rahaga, a group of elite Toa who had been mutated by Roodaka, caught them in mid-fall. They took them to the ruins of Ga-Metru, where the Rahaga told the Toa Metru, now the Toa Hordika, about Keetongu, a powerful Rahi that was gifted in the knowledge of venoms and their counter agents. However, some of the Rahaga believed that this Keetongu was only a myth. They explained that the Hordika venom they had been injected with needed to be neutralized, or else the venom would make their mutation permanent. After hearing out the Rahaga, the Toa Hordika decided that they would put rescuing the Matoran first, and finding the anti-venom for their mutation second. To understand the situation, Vakama, Onewa, and Norik went on a scouting mission in Po-Metru during which Vakama attacked a group of Roporak; but ultimately failed to defeat them.
Meanwhile in the Coliseum, Krahka, who shapeshifted herself into a Visorak in order to go into the building, fought with Roodaka and lost. Roodaka was too quick and tactful for the shapeshifting Rahi to strike. Roodaka, instead of killing the Rahi, made a deal with her, and the deal was to recover the signs of six Matoran which were originally foreseen to be Toa, and of which the signs were later covered up due to disbelief.
Meanwhile, the Toa first started their quest by searching for different parts in order to build an Airship to transport the Matoran to Mata Nui safely. Vakama, who was working on some Airship parts, went into his foundry to find them along with Norik. He accidentally stumbled into a Kanoka which looked almost the same as his own Toa disk, except it said Nuhrii. Furious, Vakama abandoned his mission and hacked into Lhikan's former "home" where he discovered the past Toa's diary, in which it clearly stated that Lhikan was originally going to choose those Matoran which were foreseen in the stars, but due to certain reasons, he changed his mind and chose the current six instead.
Away from Ta-Metru, Nokama was also searching for Kanohi, along with Gaaki. Their mission was rather unpleasant, for according to Nokama, Gaaki was very annoying. Their destination was to go to the Great Temple and collect the Kanohi stored in a chamber. During their swimming to the Temple, Gaaki was hit by a Visorak spinner. Nokama used hers to summon a thunderstorm which almost killed her and Gaaki, as well as the Visorak. However, nobody knew that Krahka was inside the masks chamber, revealing yet another sign, this time on the wall, which said, "Vhisola". Outside, the two females approached the temple. Being transformed to a half-beast being, Nokama found it very difficult to enter the structure. Both of them managed to get inside, only to find the chamber they were looking for be protected by a Gate Guardian. The Rahi made a smaller illusion of itself; thus every time Nokama tried to strike the Guardian, her attacks were blocked before they could come close to hitting the target. This started to make Nokama very furious. It was only with the help of Gaaki that the two managed to find out that the "small Rahi" was really an illusion. Nokama then summoned a shower and the beast was defeated. Meanwhile, Krahka made her escape by transforming into a mist-like Rahi and slipped out via a gap in the door. Nokama went in, and there, she saw the carving on the wall.
At the same time, Nuju and Kualus were scavenging around the Chutes of Ko-Metru, looking for some intact Chute, to use as propulsion for the Airship the Toa were going to load the Matoran on. Nuju asked Kualus to cut the Chute, so he could freeze the ends. Kualus, feeling a bit suspicious, did as Nuju told him to do and some Suukorak came out of the Chute. The horde launched spinners at Nuju, trapping him in an electrical field. Unable to do anything, he could only watch as the Suukorak attacked Kualus. Nuju later opened his eyes, and saw Kualus still fighting for dear life. He escaped painfully from the field, and fought a losing battle against the Visorak. It surprised Nuju to hear Kualus clicking at a time like this, and while Nuju was confused, Kualus's friends, thousands of Ice Bats, helped them fight against the Visorak. The Rahaga decided then that it was a wise time to retreat. At the roof of the building, Kualus called some Gukko birds, and much to Nuju's dismay, they were to ride them to Le-Metru, where it seemed that the Visorak were massing for an attack.
Whenua, meanwhile, was sitting halfway in the mud outside the Archives along with Bomonga, and doing nothing but staring into the darkness in front of him rather than searching for the tablets in which Whenua learned of the Visorak. After a while, Whenua got impatient and stood up, only to get pulled back down by the Rahaga. It was only then he realized that a small Rahi had run into the scene, only to be captured by a Visorak. Bomonga reacted speedily and used his Rhotuka to stun the creature, after which he freed the captured Rahi. After that, the two continued their search. Once they found what they were looking for, they made their way to the exit only to find themselves trapped and battling two Kahgarak. One of the large spiders launched its Rhotuka at Whenua and Bomonga. Both tried to run away, but it was too late. The Rhotuka had already swallowed and transported them to the Field of Shadows. Fortunately, a Kahgarak was also swallowed in, giving Whenua and Bomonga a hope of getting out.
Elsewhere, Matau and Iruini were discussing their mission: to find some sort of Airship the Toa could use to transport the Matoran out of Metru Nui. Matau's mission seemed to be doomed. The Visorak had wrecked all the transport vehicles in Le-Metru. The Toa in that case would then need to find the materials and anything of importance that they may need. Matau was therefore looking over undamaged Protodermis objects that could be used for new vehicles. Matau would rather have been finding Keetongu to free him of his beastly appearance. As he worried about his future, Iruini revealed to Matau the secret of the Rahaga. they were once Toa. Then they finally found a hangar, but Visorak attacked them and they had to barricade themselves inside. Meanwhile, Onewa kept distracting the Rahi they meet at Pouks' request, who was really trying to combat Onewa's Hordika side. They entered a cave for some Kanoka and found Teridax's lair. Onewa went inside and found Teridax's version on the Toa Metru origins. Pouks pursued a snake, which turned out to be Krahka, and was knocked unconscious by the Rahi. However, Onewa made a truce with her. Then the three went to Ta-Metru and Krahka summoned Tahtorak.
Meanwhile, Roodaka had had a report from the Roporak spying on Krahka, and Roodaka decided to release the Zivon. Meanwhile, Kualus and Nuju landed in Le-Metru's outskirts and were attacked by Vohtarak, but Tahtorak arrived along with Krahka, Onewa, and Pouks; and chased away the Visorak.
At the same time, the Kahgarak that Whenua and Bomonga were following opened a portal and they got out, but right in the Le-Metru's Visorak Tower at Sidorak's feet.
Meanwhile, Matau was tricked by an Oohnorak into opening the door of the hangar, but luckily, the Toa Hordika and the Rahaga rescued them. Then the Zivon was released and the Toa Hordika attacked the Tower and freed Whenua and Bomonga. The Toa caused a lot of confusion and then thought to keep the Visorak in the Tower, knowing that Rahi hated to be confined. After that a Kahgarak fired a spinner at the Tahtorak, which was fighting the Zivon, and all three were swallowed by shadow. After this the Visorak retreated. Later, the Toa Hordika shared the story of their origins. It is here that Norik told the Toa that this Tower could be a place for them to fall back in case of defeat. The Toa charged the gateway, which would prevent any unwanted visitors to get in, as they would get hit by elemental energy. This new Tower was christened Tower of Toa.
Later, Nuju and Kualus were traveling through Ko-Metru when they were ambushed by Visorak. They escaped into the Archives but faced a Kahgarak. Meanwhile Whenua and Bomonga were also walking through the tunnel and found Nuju and Kualus facing the Kahgarak. They defeated it, but Vohtarak came and the tunnel collapsed. Soon after, they were rescued by Vakama and Onewa. Meanwhile, Matau and Nokama swung from the webs. They then went under a Battle ram; but unfortunately for them, Roodaka decided to burn it. In order to escape the furnace, Matau summoned a cyclone which blew the ram right where their comrades were.
Soon after, Vakama found Gaaki and Norik surrounded by Visorak in Ta-Metru. Vakama quickly came and battled the Visorak, winning and Gaaki and Norik told him about the Kanohi Avohkii, the great mask of light which the Rahaga had hidden in Metru Nui. To unlock it's hiding place, Makoki Stones were needed. Vakama was sent to a mission to find his Makoki stone. After battling Visorak, Vakama arrived on a plank upon a fire pit. The Makoki Stone was on the plank. But as Vakama took it, the plank underneath him was melted and he fell down towards the lava. Luckily, Onewa saved him.
Vakama told Onewa everything that Norik and Gaaki had told him about the Avohkii and the Makoki Stones. Onewa went to look for his Makoki Stone in Po-Metru. He was chased by Visorak but he managed to escape. Then he found the stone from a cave. But just then, a mysterious vine attacked him, grabbing him. And at the same time, some Visorak Suukorak came. One shot it's Rhotuka at Onewa, but it was intercepted by a blast caused by Whenua's earth spinner. Onewa explained Whenua everything and he went to look for the Makoki Stone in Onu-Metru.
He had to sneak past many patrolling Visorak in the Archives until getting to a room with the Makoki Stone. He recovered it but then he heard a rumble and a large hammer hit a wall. It broke, and water flushed in, creating a flood which Whenua was trapped in. Just before he was flushed in, what seemed to be a bottomless pit, Nokama grabbed him and saved him on a cliff. Whenua again explained everything, and Nokama went to Ga-Metru.
Nokama found the Makoki Stone underwater, but when she came to surface, she realized, she was surrounded by Visorak. A battle started and Nokama defeated all but two Visorak. She ran away but was caught in a Visorak web, the two Visorak right behind them. Luckily, they were freezed by Nuju who came for Nokama's aid.
Nuju went to Ko-Metru for his Makoki Stone. He found it in a Knowledge Tower, by unlocking a door with a button. But Visorak rushed in, forcing Nuju to run. He was trapped on the edge of a cliff, but then he saw Matau below him, and he was pointing Nuju to jump. Nuju jumped and Matau saved him in midair. Then he defeated the Visorak with his Air Spinner. Matau went to look for the stone in Le-Metru, since he already knew of the stone thing.
He found his Makoki in a vehicle factory. But several Visorak pursued him, and he locked a door and jumped into a vat. He escaped, and met the other Hordika by the Great Temple. Inside, each Toa Hordika inserted his or her Makoki Stone into a slot. The Mask of Light was unlocked. However, the light that came from it, attracted Visorak and they swarmed in, and a battle ensued. To save the mask from an oncoming Keelerak, Onewa encased the Avohkii in stone. Vakama and the rest quickly evacuated before the temple exploded, the mask safe in their hands.
Soon after, the Toa Hordika finished building the Airships.
However, Vakama, who was frustrated by the fact that he led his friends into the trap, frequently left the group for long walks. Just when he thought he was being attacked by a Muaka, his Rhotuka Launcher didn't work! The Muaka however fled, and Norik, the red Rahaga came to him and told him about the Muaka. Then he tried to reason with him, for Vakama to come back with the others, but was unsuccessful. While Norik then returned to the others and they began their search for Keetongu, Vakama was ambushed by a group of Boggarak, and was brought before Roodaka. There, Roodaka convinced him to join the horde and become its leader, because "His friends no longer care about him", although her main reason was to override Sidorak, the king of the Visorak horde, and give the horde to Vakama and controlling him. At that time, Vakama was shown the loyalty of the Visorak horde, and was struck up a deal by Roodaka. If Vakama captured the Rahaga, his loyalty to Sidorak would be proven, and he would be named a general of the Visorak horde. With this goal in mind, Vakama set off to the Great Temple, to seek out the Rahaga.
At the Great Temple, Rahaga Gaaki was researching Keetongu when she heard a sound. She looked around and saw nothing. Rahaga Norik then walked in. The two discussed the noise, and they dismissed it as a result of Gaaki's tiredness. Gaaki went upstairs, to find the other Rahaga. Norik stayed behind and further investigated the strange noise. He wasn't pleased with what he heard. Vakama. The two discussed his deception while Vakama kept in the shadows, and Norik asked what had happened to his brothers. After a while, Vakama asked Norik to pass on a message. Norik had a feeling of foreboding as Vakama disappeared. Vakama suddenly reappeared elsewhere, roaring, surprising Norik. Vakama left with all the Rahaga except for Norik, leaving him covered in rubble.
The next morning the Hordika went to check on the Rahaga's progress and found Norik. He told them of Vakama and what he had translated so far:
"Follow the falling tears to Ko-Metru, until they reach the sky"
Meanwhile Vakama presented the Rahaga to Sidorak and was named Leader of the Horde. At the same time his ex-comrades had followed a river from the Great Temple to the canal between Le-Metru and Ko-Metru, but the web bridge broke under the Toa's weight and sent them into the canal, where they found themselves in a submarine Chute that brought them to Ko-Metru where a jet of Protodermis flowed out of it and "reached the sky". They went into a cavern under the ice mountain made by the jet and Norik called out to Keetongu. Keetongu appeared and after listening to the story agrees to help them, though they would have to fight using their Hordika sides to prove themselves.
Later, Vakama was waiting when the Toa Hordika broke through. They broke through, and saw Vakama up, snarling to them. Before the Visorak could hit them they rode their Rhotuka to some higher floor except Matau who headed straight to the central spire. After grabbing Vakama, he tried to convince him to return on their side while defending himself. Meanwhile, the other Toa went through the corridor to the Matoran Spheres' location. There, however, they were attacked by a giant Kahgarak that threw them in the arena. At this time, Norik freed his brothers while Matau was about to fall over the Coliseum.
Meanwhile, Sidorak and Roodaka tried to kill Keetongu, who was climbing on the spire. Sidorak missed twice but Roodaka struck him. Keetongu fell and the Visorak rulers went to "check" on his condition. However, Roodaka left Sidorak, and Keetongu killed him. Meanwhile, Matau fell but Vakama rescued him. The Rahaga were helping the Toa against the Visorak but Roodaka, riding the Kahgarak, wanted their Elemental Powers. In that moment, Vakama and Matau landed, and Vakama tossed Matau into the other Toa. These five struck Roodaka with their spinners. Then Vakama did the same thing, but not before freeing the Visorak. Roodaka was grabbed by a shadow hand and disappeared. Keetongu then transformed the Hordika into the Toa Metru. They put the Matoran Spheres on the Airships and flew away. When they reached the Great Barrier, Onewa discovered that Teridax had broken out as Norik had said just before Vakama's spinner hit Roodaka.
Time Trap
The Toa were making their way back to Mata Nui on the Airships. There, Vakama told them that he needed to go back to get the Mask of Time. He told the others to continue their journey and then he jumped out of the ship into the water, and started to make his way back to Metru Nui via the ocean. He then spotted the Kanohi Vahi, which was partially buried under sand on the ocean floor. To his horror, the mask had developed a crack and was leaking energy out into the water, quickly aging to death anything that came too close. After Vakama carefully repaired the mask and retrieved it, a waterspout appeared and hit him. He crashed into solid rock and was temporarily stunned. Then, from out of the shadows, a figure appeared and took the mask from Vakama, after which the Toa Metru fainted and fell back into the water.
Meanwhile, on the Dark Hunter base island of Odina, the leader of the brutal organization, The Shadowed One, was making plans to go back to Metru Nui because of the deaths of Nidhiki and Krekka, whom he was convinced were killed by Toa. He left Lariska in charge of the Hunters while he was gone.
Vakama awakened and found himself back in Matoran form. He was lying on his bed in his house, in an alternate time, when Metru Nui was safe. The Toa of prophecy: Vhisola, Nuhrii, Tehutti, Ehrye, Orkahm and Ahkmou, had imposed strict order over all of Metru Nui. Vakama thought that it was the Mask of Time that was doing all of this. Then, he went looking for his fellow Toa(who were also back in Matoran form), but none of them remembered anything. Onewa was a coward (due to an encounter with the Vahki), and Matau had died in a Chute accident.
Then Vakama went to Teridax's lair with Nokama. On the way, they were attacked by Morbuzakh, but escaped. When he reached the Makuta's lair, a creature that looked like a hybrid of a Krana and a Kraata affixed itself to his mask, giving him a vision of a Toa of Sonics named Krakua. Krakua told Vakama that six Toa were going to make a perilous quest into the darkest place he could imagine in order for Krakua to exist. But before the Toa could finish, the creature was pulled off of Vakama's face by Turaga Lhikan. When Vakama hurled a disk at Nokama's head, it passed right through her. It was then that what Vakama suspected is confirmed: he had not gone back in time but it was all an illusion. An illusion put in place by Teridax. Nokama was really a Visorak Boggarak and Lhikan was really Teridax. When Vakama completely stopped believing in it, the illusion ceased to exist. Now he was back to looking like what he really was: the Toa Metru of Fire. Teridax and the Toa had a small encounter, and Vakama told Teridax that Voporak had the Mask of Time. This forced the Toa of Fire and the Master of Shadows to work together to retrieve one of the most powerful Kanohi of all time.
The two unlikely allies found out that Voporak didn't have the mask any longer, so Teridax sent his army of Rahkshi to deal with the creature while they slipped away.
They made their way to the Great Temple to find the Shadowed One. Teridax told Vakama that he should go inside and spy on them, and that he had unfinished business to take care of. Then Teridax proclaimed, "You can come out now", and Keetongu cames out from the shadows.
Inside the Great Temple, Vakama and Sentrakh (the Shadowed One's bodyguard) were locked in battle, and outside, Teridax and Keetongu were in battle as well. Teridax and Sentrakh were both winning their respective fights. Teridax was about to kill Keetongu when the whole Temple exploded, sending all four beings flying. Vakama had won his battle. He saw Keetongu, who was not moving. He started to check on him, when his body was chained by solid Protodermis. The Shadowed One had arrived. The Shadowed One told Vakama that he and the others would pay for killing his Dark Hunters. Then Teridax joined in. He claimed he would hand over Vakama to the Shadowed One if he returned the Vahi. The Shadowed One said that he would not do that: Vakama needed to pay for what he did.
Then Vakama freed himself and told the Shadowed One that Teridax was the one who killed Nidhiki and Krekka. After which, the pair of powerful villains began their fight. The Shadowed One's eye beams destroyed much of Teridax's chestplate and his wings. Vakama saw his moment and took the Mask of Time from the Shadowed One. The Shadowed One shot a laser at Vakama's jet pack, which sent him falling to his death. The Shadowed One wanted to head after the fallen Toa, but Teridax threw him at the fallen Voporak, causing The Shadowed One to age several thousand years. The Toa of Fire then fell into darkness, but he was not dead. Vakama found himself in the lair of Karzahni. Karzahni then told Vakama that it was because of them that he was still alive. When they placed parts of his body into liquid Protodermis, a tiny green shoot sprouted from it. In time, it regrew into the Karzahni which had the memories of old. He and Teridax had been working together. He had agreed to play the Morbuzakh to make Teridax's false world more convincing. There was nothing that Vakama could do. He knew he was not destined to be a Toa, and felt that he could not fight Teridax. Yet one question remained unanswered: who planted Vakama and the others' names in Teridax's mind?
Then Karzahni revealed the truth: Vakama and the others were really meant to become Toa. Mata Nui knew that Teridax would try to change the stars after being struck down by treachery. And so, Mata Nui had changed the names of the stars into those who knew the locations of the Great Disks and placed the real names into Teridax 's mind. Vakama then asked about the disk and all other evidence that pointed towards another fate. Karzahni simply said that if Teridax had a Brotherhood, that meant Mata Nui had one, too. It was what placed all of this evidence so that Teridax would play into their hands. Vakama was about to ask how Karzahni knew all this, when he mentioned a member from an organization of Mata Nui (now known to be the Order of Mata Nui, which was not said) ran into him in his caves before his ultimate demise. But at that moment, Teridax entered the cave and destroyed the Karzanhi. Vakama started to run.
In Ta-Metru, Vakama threatened to destroy the Mask of Time so Teridax couldn't get his hands on it. If the mask was destroyed, all of reality would be undone. But Vakama made a deal with Teridax to allow him to leave with the mask unharmed and to leave the Matoran, Keetongu, Turaga Dume, and the Rahaga in peace. Teridax was outraged. He didn't want to sulk in the darkness doing nothing. But, desiring to save his own life, he granted Vakama this wish but said he would return a year later. Vakama then found himself in a tunnel that lead up to the surface. He swore one day the Matoran would return to Metru Nui. What Vakama didn't know was that Teridax had read his mind, and learned that they had lost a Matoran while coming to the island above. Teridax went up the tunnel they took, and found one of the pods. He reawakened the Matoran Ahkmou and spread his tale of lies on the brainwashed Matoran.
Eventually, the Toa Metru reached the new island of Mata Nui, named after the Great Spirit, safe from Teridax's wrath for one year. However, the Metru had one final problem, the Matoran were sleeping in the pods. Vakama then sacrificed his Toa Energy to awaken some of the Matoran, thus forcing Vakama to become a Turaga. The other Toa followed, until all of the Matoran were awakened, and all of the Toa had transformed into Turaga. Over time, the Matoran would lose their memories of Metru Nui, until the only life forms on the island that had any recollection of Metru Nui were the Turaga and (to a smaller extent) the Rahi. However, one more being was soon to be added to that list.
