What has gone before…

Mata Nui was once an island paradise – then Makuta came, bringing darkness and fear. A prophecy foretold that six heroes of legend would appear to save the island, and so it came to pass. Six Toa, each with awesome elemental powers, came to Mata Nui to begin their quest.

To defeat Makuta, the Toa first had to gather six Great Masks of Power. Their efforts took them into great danger, as they faced the Rahi, Makuta’s dark beasts. But the Toa were victorious. Each gathered six Kanohi Masks of Power and used them to obtain a Golden Kanohi. Each golden mask contains all the powers of the other six masks combined.

The Toa descended into the tunnels below the island’s temple to confront Makuta. There they combined their bodies and minds to form two great Toa Kaita, Akamai and Wairuha. More powerful than ever before, the Toa defeated the Manas, Makuta’s crab-like guardians. Finally, they overcame shadow versions of themselves and achieved a great victory over Makuta!

Triumphant, the Toa returned to the surface, only to discover they now face a dangerous new foe: the Bohrok swarm!
