Before the end of the 2007 storyline, the Makuta invaded the Universe Core. The six Makuta referred to in the first chapter didn't want to. No reason, just that they felt they could be more on their own. So, they then quickly hatched a plan, and stole some powerful weapons, plus some Makuta dust. (To understand, download and listen to chapter 5 of Dark Mirror on the Bionicle story website) They quickly used the dust on themselves, and gained the power of flight. They grew wings, and felt more powerful than ever. But, the Makuta dust had a rather tricky side effect. It enhanced one of their Kraata powers intensely, but completely destroyed the rest. They then flew off and started on some random island, reeking havoc on the matoran, rahi, and others. They made their way north. They decided they needed better names than Makuta. They thought of themselves as warlords (Barraki), so they combined the two matoran words, and came up with Barrakuta, pronounced like the fish. I swear, this name was just a coincidence. The team of Barrakuta was comprised of these: Plasmux, black, red, and yellow Barrakuta of plasma. Bioz, black, blue, and green Barrakuta of plant control. Jozoma, black and gray Barrakuta of magnetism. Nilix, black, blue, and yellow female Barrakuta of lightning. Garaz, black and yellow Barrakuta of gravity. And finally, Solexun, black, gray, and light blue Barrakuta of sonics. These beasts began to be feared all over. Word reached the Toa Mahri, who were traveling around Metru Nui. They quickly reported to the Turaga. Vakama, of course, already knew. Vakama told the six matoran around the time the Toa Nuva entered the Core. Now we will catch up with our heroes.

"'Go forth!' he says! 'Go and slay-kill the baddies!' How do we think-plan to do that?"

"Can you not hold your mouth for a while, Tamaru? Honestly, I think I am going to pop from all your blabber!"

"Brothers! Please, hold your tongues...," Macku chimed in. Tamaru and Hafu looked lost and confused. "Well, hold what you do have then!" At this, Tamaru' eyes widened, and he crossed his legs. Unfortunately, Tamaru was walking, too. Down he went.

Our six heroes are currently walking from the reclamation yard to Macku's canoe shop.

"Honestly, guys. Why must we go-travel by water? I don't like water," Tamaru chirped.

"You don't like the heights, either. How are you a Le-Matoran?" Hafu replied. As Tamaru opened his mouth to reply, he was socked in the mouth by Kopeke.

"Quiet," he said with cold simplicity. Taipu snickered.

"So lemme get this right-straight. We meet Mahri, they take us to….to…to wherever, we become toa-heroes, we fight, we win," Tamaru asked.

"Sadly….yes," Hafu agreed. Macku nodded in agreement.

"Here we are, everyone," she said. "Alright then…Kapura, could you look for the Mah…HEWKII!" The black and yellow figure just rounding the corner, looked stunned, then relieved and happy. Macku ran, and jumped on him. Hanging from his neck by her arms, they embraced.

"Jeeze…you'd think they would at least try to hide it," Taipu commented. Hafu nodded. As Taipu said this, Jaller, Hahli, Kongu and Nuparu rounded the corner, jogging towards the commotion. Jaller, Hahli and Nuparu slid and stopped, weapons raised. Kongu kind of kept going. He tripped and rolled, then popped up.

"I gotta quit-stop that…" he commented.

"Alright little brothers and sister, are you ready?" Jaller asked?

"Never been more ready, sir!" Taipu piped in, in a military salute.

"That's great, brother," Nuparu said as he forced Taipu's hand down. "Come this way. Macku, we've done a little to one of your canoes. We tricked it OUT, man!" This got him looks from everyone.

"Okay, just as long as it still goes…," Macku replied tentatively.

On the water, a canoe was tied up. On the back, though, was a huge machine, with six red things sticking out the top. "Uhh…Nuparu…wussat?" Taipu was awestruck and confused at the same time.

"That is an engine based around a Cordak blaster. It 'splodes the Cordak, and we go…BOOM…PSHYOOOOOOO!"

"Thanks for the sound effects, brother." Jaller pointed to the seatbelts. "You shall need these."

"Uh-oh…this is bad…I don't really like going fast…" Hafu commented.

"FAST?! WHOOOO!! LET'S GO!" Everyone then gave a look to Taipu. "Sorry…"

"Alright then, everyone in!" Hewkii cheerfully said. "And you can let go of me now."

"Sorry…" Macku let go of his neck, and blushed. If Bionicles can blush…

As everyone strapped in, each Mahri got into a different canoe. "Hold-wait. Why is there…?" Tamaru chimed in.

"Extra baggage," Nuparu, pilot of the matoran's canoe, replied. "Right then. Everyone ready?" Everyone responded yes. "Kay! Ready…WOOHOO!"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!
