• Several Makuta, led by Antroz, invade Karda Nui.

• The Siege of the Stalactite Villages begins. Gavla is among the first of the Av-Matoran among many to be turned into Shadow Matoran by the Makuta in Karda Nui's skies. These Shadow Matoran include Kirop, former leader of the Av-Matoran, who was turned over while leading a rescue on the second day. Tanma, an Av-Matoran, replaces Kirop. The Shadow Matoran and the Makuta conquer all the Stalactite Villages except one.
• Mutran, while tending to the Shadow Leach vats, remembers the past of the Brotherhood of Makuta, reflecting on the many events he has witnessed.
• Vamprah turns Radiak into a Shadow Matoran.
• Matoro revives Mata Nui using the Ignika, creating a bright burst of light. Vamprah, Chirox, and Antroz are blinded by the light.
• The Kanohi Ignika falls into the Swamp of Secrets.
• Botar and Trinuma, on their way to the original rendezvous island to arm Brutaka's team with weapons, are attacked by Icarax, who is going to Metru Nui. Botar is killed and Trinuma is critically wounded, causing the rendezvous point to be relocated.
• On Metru Nui, Takanuva is attacked by a Shadow Leech, launched by Icarax. He manages to pull the Shadow Leech off, but now has control over Shadow while maintaining his Light powers.
• Takanuva is confronted by Helryx, Krakua, and Brutaka. He is given a view of the Toa Mata's past by means of a Krana-Kraata hybrid. Then, Brutaka attempts to send Takanuva to Karda Nui with his Kanohi Olmak. However, due to damage to the Kanohi Olmak, he ends up in a alternate timeline. (For more of this timeline, see the Toa Empire Timeline.)
• Tanma attempts to take advantage of the Makuta's blindness, and rallies the Av-Matoran to attack the Makuta.
• Three Shadow Matoran are taken by the Makuta to act as their "eyes" via telepathy: Kirop, Gavla, and Radiak. The blind Makuta, with their Matoran assistants, pursue the a squad of Av-Matoran including Tanma, Photok and Solek.
• The Toa Nuva are teleported from Artakha to the skies of Karda Nui in front of the three Av-Matoran.
• Lewa sees a Shadow Leech and tries to capture it. Tanma stops him, accidentally attaching to Lewa and sharing with him Karda Nui's past.
• Onua understands that the Makuta are blind and Tahu orders to stun the Shadow Matoran eyes. The Makuta then retreat.
• The Toa Nuva begin to remember Karda Nui..
• The Toa Nuva split into two teams. Tahu, Gali, and Onua journey to the Swamp of Secrets while Kopaka, Lewa, and Pohatu go to the villages to help the besieged Av-Matoran.
• The three Makuta meet in their lair, and Antroz decides to send a message to Icarax, requesting that he come to Karda Nui.
• Radiak reaches the Av-Matoran Stalactite Village and lures Pohatu and Photok out of it, where the two are ambushed by the Makuta and the Shadow Matoran.
• Pohatu stuns Vamprah and Antroz, but Chirox grabs both Toa and Matoran with a shadow hand, then throws them down into the village below.
• Kopaka and Lewa, after joining with their Matoran, arrive. Kopaka hits Chirox with a light ball. Lewa and Tanma are attacked by Antroz and Radiak, but Lewa hurls the Makuta away with a cyclone. Kopaka is attacked by Vamprah, who uses his Kanohi Avsa to weaken him.
• Lewa and Tanma flee, intending to search for the other three Toa for help.
• However, the battle finishes and the village, along with the three Toa Nuva, still stands.
• Solek gives Kopaka a Keystone, a piece of a tablet telling how Mata Nui can be awakened. Meanwhile, Lewa and Tanma are on patrol. They see Kirop passing by overhead, and Lewa uses his Air powers to knock him to a nearby stalacite. Kopaka then goes over there and kidnaps Kirop.
• Chirox and Mutran create a Rahi mount for Mutran's assistant, Vican, so that he can reach Icarax.
• In the swamp, the Kanohi Ignika creates for itself a body to bear itself, "Toa Ignika." A skyboard is also created.
• The Toa Nuva steal a Keystone from Kirop and then trick him into leading them and the Matoran to Mutran's hive.
• Toa Ignika joins the three Toa Nuva with their Matoran and defeat a Rahi that is attacking them. The seven then reach the Shadow Leech hive.

• After breaking the door, Pohatu, Photok, Lewa and Tanma are subjected to an illusion made by Mutran, which makes them believe Toa Ignika is a giant, aggressive Rahi. Kopaka and Solek take on Mutran.
• The other five realize that something is wrong, since they have not seen any Shadow Leeches in sight. Everyone turns to Toa Ignika, who now appears to be a monster. The Toa Nuva and their Matoran attack in response. Angered and confused, Toa Ignika started to kill the four.
• Kopaka defeats Mutran, with Solek's help.
• The other four realize that they've been tricked and stop their attack on Toa Ignika. Pohatu is angered by Toa Ignika's attack, and is about to hurt him when he realizes that Toa Ignika is wearing the Mask of Life.
• Antroz, Vamprah, and Chirox arrive and defeat all seven. They are all knocked unconcious.
• Vican delivers his message to Icarax. Icarax plans to go to Karda Nui.
• The Toa and Matoran awaken in Mutran's cell. Mutran threatens Lewa by holding a Shadow Leech to his face. Pohatu distracts Mutran long enough for him to activate his Kanohi Kakama Nuva and free the Matoran, who are trapped elsewhere. Then the seven escape from the hive.
• Outside the hive, Toa Ignika uses his powers to send the hive plummeting. The Makuta escape and regroup.
• Icarax reaches Karda Nui, and the five Makuta attack the last free village. However, as they open the refuge of the Av-Matoran, they find it to be empty. A Shadow Matoran nearby tells them the Toa Nuva are stealing another Keystone from the Makuta's base.
• The Makuta head up and confront the Toa Nuva in battle.
• Antroz fires a bolt of shadow at Pohatu, but Kopaka deflects the attack, which strikes Antroz.
• Pohatu strikes Chirox with a stalactite sending him tumbling down towards the Swamp of Secrets.
• Pohatu and Photok strike Antroz multiple times, but Icarax uses his powers over Gravity to send both Toa and Matoran plummeting from the sky. Antroz is also affected by this.
• Icarax then attacks Toa Ignika, but is devolved from a being of energy to a being of flesh.
• Mutran unleashes an enormous Shadow blast and orders a retreat to the Swamp. The blind Makuta and Icarax do so, while Mutran himself is surrounded by the Toa. The Nuva and Toa Ignika then head to the swamp.
• Meanwhile, the Toa Nuva Mistika enter the swamp and split up. After a while, Onua is hit by Bitil's Nynrah Ghost Blaster, and becomes controlled by the Makuta. Bitil uses his mask power to create a number of duplicates. The duplicates take Onua to Krika's lair.
• Gali finds a Keystone, and Gorast prepares to strike Gali while she tries to pry it loose from a plant.
• Tahu discovers the Codrex, and Krika emerges from the swamp. He attacks Tahu, who manages to send a signal for help.
• Bitil and his doubles arrive on an islet where Bitil thinks Krika is.

• Onua fires his Nynrah Ghost Blaster, which morphed from a Midak Skyblaster, and the attack sends Bitil spiraling down towards the swamp. He then sees Tahu's signal.
• Gali and Gorast fight. Gali turns the ground below the Makuta to mud, and the Makuta begins to sink into it. Gali offers Gorast mercy, but Gorast plunges into the mud, seemingly committing suicide. She emerges a few moments later from the mud behind Gali, knocking her down, and starts to drain her light. Onua arrives and saves Gali from Gorast.
• Tahu escapes Krika by making the ground Krika was on boiling hot. Onua and Gali soon arrive.
• The three Mistika Makuta spot Chirox falling, and run to intercept him.
• Thirteen Av-Matoran take the Toa Nuva to safety. The Toa Nuva Mistika watch in horror as twelve of them turn into Bohrok. The thirteenth then gives them a Keystone and turns into a Bohrok himself, and is teleported to the nests on Mata Nui along with the rest.
• The Toa go to the Makuta's camp to retrieve a third Keystone. Tahu lies to the Makuta, telling them the Ignika is with the Phantoka. Bitil does not believe this, and telepatically communicates with one of the Makuta above. He is shocked when he finds out it's true. The Toa take advantage of the moment and flee.
• The Mistika go to the Codrex and ambush the Makuta.
• Just then, the Phantoka Makuta and their Shadow Matoran arrive. They are followed by the Phantoka Toa Nuva and their Av-Matoran.
• Vezon, Takadox, Carapar, Roodaka, and Spiriah are all rescued by the Order of Mata Nui and placed in a cell.
• Vezon awakens from unconsciousness, finding himself in a large cell with Roodaka, Spiriah, Takadox and Carapar.
• Before Vezon can escape, Brutaka arrives. Telling the inmates they can either obey his command or be buried alive, the five inmates comply.
• Later on, the newly formed team arrive at Stelt, Sidorak's homeland, in hopes of finding a large boat to take them south. Roodaka hides herself with a cloak, to keep the inhabitants from knowing her identity.
• Carapar snares Roodaka with his claw. Brutaka insists that that she can buy them the boat they need.
• The team enters a trader's market. Brutaka asks the rtader for a ship to the south, and promises to pay for it with Roodaka's life.
• The rader makes the deal, and shows Brutaka his ship.
• Without anyone spotting him, Takadox slips away and hypnotizes the crew, ordering them to jump off the boat.
• Brutaka gives the rtader the honor of killing Roodaka, but insists that no one would believe him unless his armor had battle scars as proof. Brutaka tells him that Vezon would do the job. The rader agrees and stands still, waiting for Vezon to strike him.
• Brutaka then knocks th trader unconscious, ant the team boards the boat, Takadox having already disposed of the crew.
• The group leaves Stelt, and Brutaka explains their mission: to free Miserix, the former leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta.
• The team's boat is pursued by Zyglak boats and when Brutaka tries to steer the ship away, Spiriah uses his wind power to hold it there.
• Spiriah reveals he has allied with the Zyglak, and takes command of the ship so he can go to Zakaz, and take revenge on the Skakdi, the reason for his being cast out of the Brotherhood.
• Spiriah and his fleet of Zyglak reach Zakaz. Several Dark Hunter ships are destroyed by the Zyglak. The survivors reach the shore, but are killed by the Skakdi.
• Suddenly the Zyglak ships are attacked and sunk by Ehlek's species. Brutaka attacks Spiriah, wins, and takes command of the ship again.
• Brutaka explains that an ally of his had been following them since they left Stelt and had notified Ehlek's species. He then eyes her ship, which is approaching theirs.
• Brutaka's ally and last member of the team, a Dark Hunter called Lariska, is introduced to the rest of the group.
• Brutaka's group arm themselves with weapons at the new rendezvous point and are attacked by Tren Krom shortly after.
• Tren Krom captures the group. Carapar attempts to kill him, but is killed instead. Disgusted by this, Tren Krom releases them to go on their way.
• The team arrives on the island of Artidax, where Spiriah sets off a trap set for Makuta and is attacked by a hand made of living sand.
• Roodaka used her mutation spinner to mutate the sand into a swarm of Fireflyers.
• After some encouragement from Brutaka, and being tricked into believing he could be the leader of the Brotherhood if they succeed, Spiriah agreed to act as the team's guide of the island.
• Before entering into a tunnel, Vezon steps in front of Spiriah and points out a thin vine that had been set as a trap.
• After bypassing the trap, they enter a tunnel in the side of a mountain.
• The team is trapped inside after Takadox cut the vine to trigger the trap, causing an avalanche that sealed them in.

• The team continues into the tunnel and arrive at a chasm spanned by a thin bridge.
• They begin to cross the bridge, but insects crawl up the walls and block the entrance and exit to the area.
• Roodaka uses her Rhotuka launcher and fires at the insects, mutating them. The insects then turn on the mutated ones and fight them for being different.
• The team finds Miserix.
• Miserix is angry at Spiriah and absorbs the Makuta, killing him.
• The team destroys one of the chains holding Miserix. He then breaks himself free from the others.
• The team is attacked by Klakk, which are defeated by Miserix.
• Miserix grows wings and the remaining members of the team go on his back and fly north. Along the way, the team notices that their boat has disappeared.
• Mutran creates a Klakk, but it tries to escape. Noticing this, he tries to spear it, but he misses and it screams at Vican, its sonic cry shattering the wall that prevents light from coming back to Vican. Vican is no longer a Shadow Matoran.
• Mutran orders Vican after the Klakk.
• Meanwhile, at the Codrex, the Toa Nuva and the Makuta are fighting. Krika leaves the scene with Gali and tells her to leave Karda Nui.
• Takanuva at this time, has finished his journey and arrives in Karda Nui through a portal of light. Krika sees him and departs. Takanuva meets up with Gali and Pohatu.
• They encounter some Niazesk, and Takanuva defeats them with the power of Shadow. Pohatu then believes Takanuva is Teridax in disguise until Takanuva and Gali prove otherwise.
• The three go to the Codrex. The Makuta see Takanuva and retreat.
• Tahu, having gathered all the keystones, asks the Toa to read the tablet at the Codrex. He puts the keystones into a niche in the center of the Codrex, and the shield goes down long enough for the Toa Nuva to get inside.
• The Toa are brought down to a lower level of the Codrex on a moving platform.
• Three spheres open, revealing three vehicles.
• Icarax makes his way to the Codrex, and tells Krika that if the Toa awaken Mata Nui, the Great Spirit will destroy the Makuta. He says that if Krika were to turn intangible, he could perhaps pass through the shield.
• Krika tries this, and half his body makes it. It becomes harder to go through, though, because the shield tries to keep Krika from entering.
• The other Makuta, who are following the Plan, try to stop Krika but realize that it is too late.
• The Toa realize that the shield is going down. The shield comes down, but Krika is thrown into the swamp in the process.
• Icarax uses his powers over Gravity on the Codrex, crushing it.
• Inside the Codrex, the Toa make pillars of ice, stone and earth in an attempt to support the Codrex from collapsing on them. The Toa split up. Some will board the vehicles and leave the Codrex to buy time for the other Toa.
• Lewa climbs aboard the Axalara T9, and Pohatu mounts the Rockoh T3. Before Kopaka can claim the Jetrax T6, Makuta Antroz (who snuck into the Codrex behind the Toa) hijacks the vehicle.

• While escaping, Antroz momentarily collides with a massive lightstone, charging the Jetrax T6 with energy and making the vehicle glow yellow.
• Lewa and Pohatu battle against Antroz in their vehicles.
• Radiak insists on helping Antroz, but he is rejected.
• Takanuva departs to help the Av-Matoran evacuate Karda Nui in preparation for the Energy Storms when Mata Nui awakes.
• Tahu tells Ignika that using the Mask of Life could quickly wake the Great Spirit, but he would need to give up physical form and his new-found life. Toa Ignika does not like this, and attacks Tahu.
• Vican tells Takanuva about the Klakk, and he captures Radiak, forcing the Klakk to break his mental barrier as well. Radiak is no longer a Shadow Matoran.
• Gorast and Vamprah attack Icarax. Icarax fires at Gavla, knocking her off Vamprah.
• Vamprah hurls a sonic blast at Icarax, but to no avail.
• Gorast saves Gavla and cuts open Icarax's armor, expecting Antidermis to flow out. Nothing happens, and Icarax explains that when he fought Toa Ignika, his Antidermis was transformed into real organs and muscles. He then tries to cut open Gorast's armor so her Antidermis will leak out.
• Antroz sends Bitil, Chirox, and Kirop after Takanuva.
• Pohatu creates pillars of stone in hopes of Antroz crashing into one.
• Lewa creates powerful winds to make Antroz crash.
• Antroz fires at Rockoh, sending him into a pillar, but Pohatu makes the pillar turn to dust.
• Pohatu makes a hand of stone erupt from the swamp. Antroz escapes, but loses the power the lightstone gave the Jetrax.
• Antroz uses his magnetic power to make Rockoh fall, but Pohatu steers it up in time.
• Axalara T9 and Rockoh T3 close in on Jetrax T6, but Antroz teleports to Mutran's new hive.
• To prevent Rockoh and Axalara crashing into each other, Kopaka makes a wall of ice to make the vehicles stop and then climbs in.
• Ignika pins Tahu to the wall of the Codrex, outraged that Tahu wants him to be once again a mask. Gali explains that if Ignika wants to be a hero, he would have to.
• Ignika agrees.
• Antroz, now back in his original form, tells Mutran to get a Shadow Matoran to restore his sight and to help Gorast and Vamprah against Icarax.
• Icarax sends a telepathic message to Vultraz.
• Gavla gets back on Vamprah.
• Mutran dispatches a Shadow Matoran to help Antroz, and Gorast tells Mutran to send white noise to Icarax.
• While Mutran telepathically fills Icarax's head with noise, Gorast tells Vamprah to have no surprise and questions to what Gorast says and does.
• Gorast yells out that Mata Nui is almost awakened.
• Icarax, not wanting this, tries to teleport away. Gorast zooms toward Icarax and turns on her Mask of Disruption, making the atoms scatter while Vamprah releases of blast of power, sending them around the Matoran Universe.
• Gorast explains that when one teleports, your atoms scatter and reappear wherever you want to be. Scattering the atoms meant that pieces of Icarax would reappear in various places around the universe.
• Radiak says that the Makuta want Mata Nui awakened, but for reasons unknown.
• Takanuva orders the Matoran to wait in a safe spot while he saves the other Matoran. Tanma objects, but Takanuva says that if stay in Karda Nui, an energy storm will kill everything in sight.

• The only Makuta left is Chirox, and Takanuva tries to destroy him.
• Takanuva regains control over himself, and tells Kopaka about the Makuta and how they want Mata Nui awakened.
• Onua leaves the Codrex.
• Tahu tells Gali how it's his fault they were in the canisters for a thousand years.
• Tahu realizes that they can fly out of Karda Nui by hanging on to the vehicles. He then flies out of the Codrex.
• Takanuva, one by one, turns the Shadow Matoran into Av-Matoran.
• Vamprah helps Chirox recover from his injuries, and lets Gavla take a rest. Takanuva grabs her and takes her to the Klakk.
• The Klakk changes both Gavla and Takanuva, returning them to light. Gavla wished that she was once again a Shadow Matoran, because she had a use, but she joins the other Matoran, and as one group they fly to Metru Nui, the Av-Matoran on jetpacks and the former Shadow Matoran with their wings.
• Ignika gets between the lightstones, and he uses the power of life to awake Mata Nui. He tells Gali to leave Karda Nui.
• Gorast, Bitil, Mutran, with Antroz, Chirox, and Vamprah attack the remaining Toa Nuva.

• Teridax kills the remaining Makuta, banishes Mata Nui's spirit into the Ignika, and then launches the Kanohi Ignika into space.
• Teridax unleashes a large number of Rahkshi on Metru Nui.
• The Turaga, Toa Nuva, Takanuva and Matoran of Metru Nui take refuge in the subterranean levels of the Archives to avoid the Rahkshi.
• The Turaga find Krahka, who tells them of the secret passages that lead out to the Silver Sea. The Toa Nuva hope they can steal a boat and meet up with Toa from other lands to organize a rebellion.
