• The arrival of the Morbuzakh and gradual disappearance of the Matoran. Powerful vines spread throughout the city, driving the Matoran closer to the center of the city.
• Nidhiki returns to Metru Nui, along with his partner Krekka.
• Lhikan grows suspicious of Dume, and decides to give Toa Stones to six Matoran. He at first decides to give them to the six Matoran who know the locations of the Great Disks. Teridax decides to manipulate this, by choosing Vakama, Nokama, Matau, Whenua, Onewa, and Nuju who, through Mata Nui's influence, he believes would not work well together, and would be easy to defeat.
• Lhikan retrieves six Toa Stones from the Toa Suva in the Great Temple, imbuing them with his Toa Power. He is ambushed by Nidhiki and Krekka, but escapes.
• Lhikan distributes the Toa Stones to the six Matoran.
• After delivering the last stone to Vakama, Lhikan is kidnapped by Nidhiki and Krekka.

• The six Matoran go to the Great Temple, get transformed into the Toa Metru, and though they do not know it, this transformation draws Toa energy from the captured Lhikan and turns him into a Turaga.
• A recording left by Toa Lhikan tells them to secure the "heart of Metru Nui," which Vakama mistakenly takes to mean Lhikan.
• Vakama receives a vision that only the six Great Disks can save Metru Nui, and only six Matoran know where they are: Nuhrii, Vhisola, Ahkmou, Tehutti, Orkahm, and Ehrye.
• Nokama reads Vhisola's diary at her home. After escaping some Vahki, she reaches the Ga-Matoran's school.
• In the lab, Nokama finds a tablet describing the Great Disks. She also discovers Vhisola's notes have been stolen. She heads back to Vhisola's home, where she finds copies of them, including the location of the Ga-Metru Great Disk.
• Nokama finds Vhisola trapped on a building and frees her.
• Vakama discovers Nuhrii had made a flawed mask but then tried to retrieve it, thinking it well made.
• Vakama saves a furnace from Morbuzakh vines by freezing them. He discovers that the mask Nurhii was searching could be in the Protodermis Reclamation Yard. Going there, he finds a note telling Nurhii to reach the author in Ta-Metru's outskirts.
• Vakama teleports two vines away which were menacing Nurhii. He frees and is then saved by the Matoran when a Morbuzakh vine attacks.
• Whenua manages to enter the Archives after having a discussion with the guard. He finds out that Tehutti, the Matoran he's been searching of, must have been lured into a trap, as the Nui-Jaga the Matoran wanted from a Ga-Matoran in exchange for a Great Disk is from Po-Metru.
• At the docks, Whenua finds out no Nui-Jaga was ever sent to the Archives. He then falls into a trap and lands in the maintenance tunnels.
• The Toa Metru of Earth unleashes a Muaka on a Rahkshi. Using the distraction, he saves Tehutti, who was there.
• Nuju talks to a chute station attendant and discovers that Ehrye, the Ko-Matoran, had taken a chute to a Knowledge Tower. Reaching it, he finds out Ehrye had asked lots of questions to the scholars and then taken a chute to the upper levels.
• Nuju sees Ehrye trapped on a cracked Tower and saves him, sealing the crack. He then finds proof Ehrye had an agreement with a Po-Matoran, Ahkmou.
• Matau escapes a sealed chute and reaches Orkahm's Ussal Pen. He there finds an the Matoran's diary, telling he is in Sector 3 of Le-Metru.
• Going to that location, Matau takes a marked chute which brings him to Orkahm's trap. The two escape from Morbuzakh vines.
• Onewa finds Ahkmou on a sculpture in Po-Metru. The Matoran denies everything and then runs away. Onewa discovers where he's headed and the two go to meet with the other Toa.
• The Toa Metru figure out Ahkmou, along with Nidhiki, of who they had found traces in all their missions, had trapped the Matoran.
• With the help of the Matoran, The six Toa Metru collect the Great Disks from their hiding places.
• The Toa Metru figure out that the Morbuzakh has a king root, which is located in the Great Furnace. The Toa and Matoran leave for Ta-Metru.
• Trying to avoid a Vahki squad, the Toa Metru hide in a forge which, unfortunately, has a ceiling covered in Morbuzakh seeds. The Toa Metru barely make it out.
• At the entrance to the Great Furnace, the Toa Metru discover young Morbuzakh vines, which aren't left unprotected. While the Toa defend themselves, Tehutti tells the other Matoran to unite, and they become the Matoran Nui, who helps the Toa Metru enter the Great Furnace.
• The Matoran Nui splits, and the six Matoran come into being again. Ahkmou runs off.
• The Toa Metru battle the Morbuzakh king root, and use the six Great Disks to destroy it.
