[carve] History
[carve] Mahri Nui
After the events on Voya Nui, Axonn opened a secret passage for the Toa Inika to descend through, known as The Cord, so the Toa could pursue the Mask of Life. When journeying down to the cord, the Toa Inika fought against the Zyglak, and in the midst of the battle, a 300 Feet Mutant Venom Eel began to squeeze the cord and make cracks in it. The Inika exited through a crack and into the cold waters of The Pit, where they transformed into their current forms, thanks to a large explosion of light and energy from the Ignika. Their Kanohi and Toa Tools were likewise transformed into new forms with different abilities. The Toa in their new forms later fought the mutant Venom Eel, which Hewkii defeated by using his new Kanohi to send the eel crashing down to the seafloor.
Having been transformed, the Toa spotted the underwater city of Mahri Nui where they encountered the city's Matoran. At first, the Matoran of Mahri Nui were skeptical of these Toa due to their goal of obtaining the Ignika, a goal the Barraki had in common, and refused to let them into their underwater city. In order to gain their trust, the Toa split up. Matoro was to stay with Defilak to negotiate, and the rest were sent to defeat some 5000 Keras crabs which the Barraki Carapar was leading in the Fields of Airweed. After Hahli negotiated for Carapar's army's withdrawal, Idris reported to Defilak that the Toa Mahri looked much like partners to the Barraki.
Matoro tried to make a break for it, freezing the water around them to escape. However, he was quickly captured and held captive by the Pit's jailer, Hydraxon.The robotic guardian Maxilos, controlled by Makuta Teridax, freed the Toa when Hydraxon had left. Matoro then followed Teridax into the ruin of the inner Pit, where he was forced to reanimate the corpse of Toa Tuyet using his mask. While traveling to a meeting place with Makuta Icarax with Tuyet, whose body contained shards of an artifact called the Nui Stone which Teridax coveted, the pair was attacked by Karzahni. After a swift battle, Teridax emerged victorious, and Karzahni left even more insane than before. Shortly afterwards, Icarax gave the Staff of Artakha to Teridax, who had plans of recreating the Nui Stone with it. However, Brutaka intervened and provoked a fight, during which he had Matoro flee.
Meanwhile at the Fields of Airweed, the other Toa Mahri were captured by the Barraki. The Barraki imprisoned the Toa in caves and stationed Rahi from their armies to guard them. Here, Hewkii and Nuparu discovered an artillery room of the Barraki and stole the Cordak Blasters from it. The pair ran into the rest of the group and gave them each a Cordak Blaster, and Kongu decided the replace his melee weapon with a second blaster. After some discussion, each Toa was given a task to perform, and they separated again.
After Mantax obtained the Ignika, the team reunited. Hahli proved they were on the Matoran's side, and Defilak, now convinced that the Toa Mahri were going to fight the Barraki and defend the sunken city, gave them the name "Toa Mahri." Matoro later informed the Toa that in order to save Mata Nui's life, they have to destroy the Cord to send Voya Nui back to it's former position, but it would destroy Mahri Nui on the way (information Matoro himself had learned from Teridax previously). With this information, the Toa had the Matoran evacuate their city, and then took them to the caves under Voya Nui for protection. On their way there, the Toa were ambushed by the mutated Piraka, who threatened to kill all of the Matoran if the Toa did not surrender. Suddenly, both the Toa and Piraka were knocked unconcious by a mysterious blast of electricity.
After they awoke, the Toa learned that the blast came from Axonn, who later led them to a cave that contained the Toa Terrain Crawler. They used the Rahi to quickly go down The Cord. After a ferocious battle with the Barraki and Hydraxon, the Toa destroyed The Cord with their Cordak Blasters. The Toa Mahri obtained the Kanohi Ignika, just as the Great Spirit Mata Nui died. Matoro decided to use the Kanohi to bring back Mata Nui while the others risked their lives to try and buy Matoro time. Matoro managed to get into the universe core, Karda Nui, before Voya Nui covered the hole to Karda Nui, and then he used the Ignika, sacrificing his life in the process. However, during his last moments as an individual (most of his will having been superceded by the will of the Ignika), he teleported the other Toa Mahri back to Metru Nui, where they became amphibious by the power of Matoro and the Ignika. As a result, they took up duties as protectors of the city.
[carve] Metru Nui
Recently, the Kardas Dragon reached Metru Nui and faced the Toa Mahri in battle once again. The team defeated and captured him. Hahli, Nuparu, Hewkii and Kongu went to search for Takanuva to no avail. When they returned, the Toa Mahri encountered the Toa Hagah, who told them that they had come to destroy the Coliseum. The Mahri refused to allow them to do so, not knowing that the Hagah were intent on finding Makuta Teridax in a vital area of the universe hidden beneath the city and accessible only by tunneling through the foundations of the Coliseum. After a pitched battle, the two teams of Toa joined forces to stop a rampaging Rahi beast, and afterwards worked together to lift the Coliseum so that the Hagah could pursue Teridax. The Mahri offered to go with them, but Toa Norik asked them to remain behind in case Teridax escaped, leaving the Mahri to return the Coliseum to its resting place once the Hagah had sealed the tunnel behind them.
Soon after, Helryx sent a messenger to Metru Nui, who told them to use the Heart of the Visorak on the volcanic island of Artidax. The team divided up, having Hewkii and Kongu remain in Metru Nui while Jaller, Hahli and Nuparu head to Artidax. Upon arriving there, they discover that Takadox has escaped and was on the island as well. Takadox then used his hyponsis powers to keep them on the island while he escaped with the ship that they took to get to Artidax.
