Toa/Dark Hunter War

- "In the months since Turaga Dume had refused the Dark Hunters a base on Metru Nui, countless Toa had fallen. Most were struck down from the shadows, never knowing their enemy was there. Oh, there had been some victories-–Nidhiki had routed more than his share of the enemy, and Lhikan was worth six Toa in battle-–but they all knew the numbers were against them. It was only a matter of time."

The Toa/Dark Hunter War was one of the largest Wars in the history of Metru Nui. This war took place roughly two thousand years prior to the Great Cataclysm.
The War began when The Shadowed One "requested" that Turaga Dume allow him to build a Dark Hunter base of operations in Metru Nui. Dume refused, so the Shadowed One sent forces of Dark Hunters to attack the city and claim it as their own. Toa Lhikan and the rest of the Toa Mangai, who had already helped defeat the Kanohi Dragon, fought valiantly during the War.
At the start, there was the Toa Mangai against an unknown number of Dark Hunters; as the war wore on, Toa Naho managed to sneak through the Dark Hunter lines and reach another island to request reinforcements. She brought back almost one hundred additonal Toa. Much of the war was fought in an urban-combat situation, with much sneaking around.
Towards the end of the war, Nidhiki was approached by Lariska and given a deal. If he would betray the Toa, he would be given rule over Metru Nui. He accepted and The Shadowed One planned to eliminate him after the War was over. Lhikan, however, heard the plan and ran to tell Turaga Dume. On the way, he was intercepted by Hakann, who said that he would give over the Makoki Stones in exchange for the lives of the soon to be defeated Dark Hunters. Lhikan accepted and, with an army of three hundred recently arrived Toa, surrounded the Dark Hunters in the Canyon of Unending Whispers after Nidhiki's betrayal. He then forced the Dark Hunters to leave and never come back, sending Nidhiki with them, thus ending the war.
