BIONICLE Legends is the third book series based on the BIONICLE universe. It covered the events that occurred in the storyline's 2006 - 2007 - 2008 story arc.

Cancelled Novel

BIONICLE Legends: Invasion was originally planned to be the seventh Legends novel, meant to tell the story of the Toa Inika's trip down the Cord. However, it was canceled due to a rescheduling.[1] 6,000 words, or one third of the book was completed prior to cancellation.[2][3] Included in the book was the following:

  • Vezon helping to reform the Spear of Fusion with its own power, only for it to be burned to ashes by Jaller,[4][5]
  • A confrontation with a tribe of Zyglak,[6][7]
  • A scene where Vezon slammed Matoro's head into a wall,[8][9]
  • Vezon being taken by the Zyglak,[10][11]
  • Hahli being injured in a battle,[12][13]
  • Teridax possessing Matoro while the latter was using his Iden, and attempting to corrupt the Toa,[14][15]
  • Teridax stealing Hahli's Elda to avoid detection by her,[16]
  • Hewkii being the first to realize Teridax possessed Matoro's body,[17][18]
  • Teridax later being forced out by the other Toa Inika who threatened to kill Matoro's body, allowing Matoro to return to it,[15]
  • The relationship between the Zyglak and krana,[19][20][21][22][7]
  • Information about the Toa they would have preferred not to face, such as how far they were willing to go in a crisis and the price of the Toa Code.[12][13][23]

After it was revealed that the novel was cancelled, there were some plans that an abreviated version would be published on the Lego website, which ultimately fell through.[24][25] Following this, BZPower attempted to work with Greg Farshtey to release the novel in a serialized format on their website, but they needed Greg to commit to completing the story, which he could not do due to his work schedule.[26][27] However, the prologue was forwarded to them, and although the rest of the completed manuscript has been lost, the introduction was later recovered by the fan site Wall of History.[28][29][30] The events that were to occur in the novel were later described in the LEGO Magazine[31][22] and BIONICLE: Encyclopedia Updated instead.
