Okay, this should have been one of the first things I wrote, but I didn't think to do it. Imagine this whole chapter (which is more of a prologue) being told in Vakama's voice, like in the openings of the movies.

Gathered friends, come, once again, and listen to our legend of the BIONICLE. In the time before time, in the glorious city of Metru Nui, a shadow fell, and six new Toa awakened, delaying, but not defeating the shadow, an evil being called the Makuta. They challenged many hardships and rescued the ones called the Matoran, bringing them to the island paradise of Mata Nui. Makuta followed them to this place, and threatened it as well, but was stopped by six new Toa, and finally defeated by the seventh Toa, Takanuva, the Toa of Light. The Matoran were free to return to Metru Nui and rebuild.

But sometimes the defeated do not stay that way for long…

When the final chapter of the main story is finished and uploaded, I will upload an epilogue at the same time, once again a Vakama narrative.
