(The Next Day)
The Agori began evacuating the robot city. They had wondered why they had to abandon their new home, but they trusted their leader, Raanu. Inside the robot, Mata Nui stood in it's head ready for the task he was built for. In his hands was the small, glowing, golden box that contained the power source. Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch, Ackar, Kiina, and Gresh were with him
"You sure about this?" Kiina asks
"Yes. This is what I was created for. This is what I have to do." Mata Nui says
"You could be killed. You might kill a lot of people too, if this thing blows up. Have you thought about that?" Kiina says
"Of course. If I don't try, we will all die. Anyone Makuta doesn't see no need for, he will destroy. There's no telling how many will suffer at his hands." Mata Nui says
Mata Nui nudged Click off his shoulder and onto his hand. He then extended him out to Devon
"Take him. I don't want him to get hurt." Mata Nui says
"Sure thing, Mata Nui." Devon says
Devon accepts Click into his hands and places him on his shoulder
"It's never going to be the same, is it?" Kiina asks
"What?" Mata Nui asks
"You. You fought with us, laughed with us, and helped us rebuild after what happened with the Bone Hunters and the Skrall. You've been one of us, and now you're going to be...this." Kiina says
"I'll still be the same person. Your friend." Mata Nui says
"A friend who's million's of feet high? I'll look smaller than an insect to you from up there. We all will." Kiina says
Mata Nui puts a hand on Kiina's shoulder
"I won't forget you, Kiina...or my promise. I will get you to a new world. Once, I made the mistake of ignoring others because they weren't a part of my mission, taking for granted they would have always be there to do what I needed. If I had paid more attention, alot of bad things wouldn't have happened." Mata Nui says
"You can't cast blame on yourself, Mata Nui. Mistakes tend to happen. They always do. We all learn from our mistakes." Devon says
"And besides, there are some good that comes out of it." Luna says
Mata Nui smiles
"You're right. Amid all the bad, some good did come out from my mistakes. I met you. All of you." Mata Nui says
Mata Nui looks toward Ackar
"Ackar, you have been one of my greatest friends since I arrived here. I am grateful to have met you." Mata Nui says
"And I was grateful to have met you, Mata Nui." Ackar says
Mata Nui turns his attention toward Gresh
"Gresh, you have become a great Glatorian and a good friend to me." Mata Nui says
"I had you to thank, Mata Nui. I was just glad to have met you." Gresh says
Finally, Mata Nui turns to Devon and his friends and walks toward them
"And then there's all of you. Although I have known you all for a short time, I grown to love you as my friends." Mata Nui says
"We feel the same way, Mata Nui."
"Thank you. Thank you all. I've seen many worlds, but you all showed me one I had never discovered, the world of Faith, Friendship, and Trust. May we see each other again in the future." Mata Nui says
"Mata Nui, you have no idea." Devon says
"What do you mean?" Mata Nui asks
"Nothing. Good luck." Devon says
"Yeah. You'll need it." Luna says
Mata Nui pets Luna. Toothless walks up to Mata Nui and nudges himself against his body. Mata Nui pets him as well. Soon, Stormfly, Meatlug, Hookfang, and Barf and Belch all came up to Mata Nui to wish him the best of luck. Mata Nui petted all the dragons happily
Having said farewell, Devon, Click, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch, Ackar, Kiina and Gresh began heading for the nearest exit while Mata Nui prepared for the task ahead. Once outside, Devon and the Viking Teens mounted their dragons while Ackar, Gresh, and Kiina mounted the Thornatus V9. They soon rode to where the Agori and Glatorians waited
Inside the robot, Mata Nui inserts the box into a slot designed for it within the skull casing. In that moment, a massive burst of energy coursed through the robot body, fusing pieces together and powering up systems. There was a low hum that filled the air. Knowing what to do next, Mata Nui slowly reached up and placed his hands on the Mask of Life. As soon as he removed it, his body crumbled away, becoming scattered atoms it had been originally. As his hands vanished, the mask fell to the ground. Mata Nui's mind and spirit was now inside the Mask of Life. The mask began to emit a bright, blinding golden light in the skull of the giant robot. Mata Nui soon found himself looking through the eyes of the robot
Far across the desert, Devon and his friends stood with the Agori and the Glatorians. They had seen the bright flash of energy come from the robot. They soon saw the robot slowly rising with sand raining down it as it did. The robot got to it's knees, then rose to it's full height standing 20,000 feet high above the ground. Everyone looked up in awe as the mechanical being towered over them
"Mata Nui. He's done it!" Devon says
"He made it." Luna says
"I can't believe it." Ackar says
"Now what? Can we still talk to him?" Gresh asks
"Yeah. Will he be able to hear us from way up there?" Snotlout asks
"Perhaps we can get his attention." Devon says
Devon summoned his Keyblade: Soul Calibur which now constantly glowed with pure blue light and with light moving freely inside the crystalline blade. Devon took his Keyblade, raised it into the air and shot a beam of pure light into the sky. The robot's head turned slightly toward the light signal. Mata Nui looked down to where his companions waited. He activated his speech centers of his new body, taking care to ensure his voice would not be too loud. At full volume, the robot's voice could shatter skulls all over the planet
"Well done, Devon. Tahu could not have done better." Mata Nui says
"Who's Tahu?" Kiina asks
Gresh shrugs
"Maybe some Glatorian we don't know." Gresh says
"Mata Nui, can you hear me?" Devon asks shouting
"No need to shout, my friend. My sensors can pick up a beetle's breathing, if I want to. Are you all right?" Mata Nui says
"We're fine. How about you?" Devon asks
"I had almost forgotten. This body is...different from my old one in many ways. But hopefully, it has the power to do what must be done. Get to shelter. I'm not sure if what I am about to attempt will work, or what will happen. I need to know you're safe before I begin." Mata Nui says
"There are caves nearby." Ackar says
"Let's get everyone inside." Hiccup says
Mata Nui watched as everyone moved to safety. He soon directed his attention toward the vast region of space, raised both his arms and unleashed streams of energy from his hands. The energy was artificial gravity of enormous power. But Mata Nui was uncertain if it would be enough to move the two moons, Bota Magna and Aqua Magna. His sensors showed that the beams had sliced through space and impacted their two targets. But his sensors also picked up something else, an object approaching Bara Magna at high speeds. In a matter of moments, the object blotted out the sun, plunging the planet into darkness. A roar of wind swept across the surface stirring up sandstorms. A bolt of dark power slammed into the western desert blasting a huge crater. A mighty impact struck Bara Magna, triggering planet-wide earth tremors
Mata Nui looked across the desert toward the figure that dwarfed him in size. The evil red eyes of the newcomer struck fear into Mata Nui, chilling him to the core. It was none other than his brother, Makuta Teridax. He had finally arrived
"HeLlO bRoThEr. I bElIeVe It'S tImE fOr A fAmIlY rEuNiOn." Makuta says
At the caves, the impact from Makuta's arrival brought down a rain of rock and dust. Ackar and Raanu worked to keep the Agori calm while Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch, Kiina, and Gresh peered outside. They were astonished by what they saw. Two gigantic robots stood in the open desert facing each other. They recognized Mata Nui by his size in comparison to the other larger, stronger robot. Kiina and Gresh didn't recognize the other robot, but Devon and his friends could only guess who it was
"There's two of them?" Gresh asks
"The other one has got to be Makuta." Devon says
"So the big one is Makuta?" Kiina asks
"Yes. And believe it or not, he's Mata Nui's evil brother." Devon says
"He's finally here, that monster." Luna growls
"Mata Nui told Raanu he was coming." Kiina says
"This is bad." Fishlegs says
"We have to find a way to help Mata Nui." Kiina says
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Gresh asks
Gresh got out his blades and started heading out of the cave until Devon and Kiina blocked his path
"We can't help Mata Nui. Not right now at least. We'd just be something else for him to worry about. Let's just wait and watch for a while." Kiina says
"Kiina's right. This is Mata Nui's fight. We can't interfere even if we wanted to. He has to fight Makuta alone." Devon says
"So we're supposed to just sit here and watch?" Snotlout asks
"Not just watch. Pray. Pray for the best that Mata Nui can succeed." Devon says
"Let's hope he has the strength to defeat Makuta." Luna says
Mata Nui stared into the evil red eyes of the nightmare that stood before him. He knew he would come to blows with Makuta, but he had to figure out how to do so without endangering the Toa and Matoran that were still trapped inside. Both would not be an easy task
"NoThInG tO sAy, BrOtHeR? SiLeNcE? No ThReAtS? No DeNuNcIaTiOnS? No VoWs Of ReVeNgE? I'm AcTuAlLy DiSaPpOiNtEd." Makuta says
"I don't need such harsh terms. I don't need to prove my power in useless combat with you, either. We don't need to fight., brother." Mata Nui says
Makuta chuckled
"Of CoUrSe YoU dOn'T. YoU cOuLd MaKe ThInGs MuCh MoRe SiMpLeR iF yOu WoUlD jUsT lIe DoWn AnD dIe. YoU wOuLdSaVe Me MiNuTeS oF eFfOrT aNd SpArE yOuRsElF oF tHe PaIn YoU sHaLl EnDuRe. Or PeRhApS yOu ReQuIrE pErSuAsIoN?" Makuta says
A burst of power shot from Makuta's hand. It flew past Mata Nui's head and struck the peak of the distant Black Spike Mountains. The unbelievable heat melted the mountain in an instant. Everyone looked toward where the mountain used to be and were left stunned
"I cOuLd Do ThAt AlL dAy AnD iNtO tHe NeXt. BeTwEeN tHe TwO oF uS, We WoUlD lAy WaStE tO tHiS pLaNeT...wHiCh SuGgEsTs An IdEa." Makuta says
Makuta raised his arm while Mata Nui prepared for another attack. Instead of attacking, Makuta opened his hand and extended it out to Mata Nui
"CoMe. JoIn Me, mY bRoThEr. In ThEsE bOdIeS, wE hAvE tHe PoWeR tO dEcImAtE eNtIrE uNiVeRsEs. ToGeThEr, We cOuLd RuLe OvEr AlL eXiStEnCe." Makuta says
"You know so much, brother, yet you understand so little. You look at the body you stole from me and see only an engine of mass destruction, a weapon to be wielded against anyone you choose. Have you ever wondered why the Great Beings created it to be so powerful? Or why you felt so compelled to seize control of it?" Mata Nui says
"YoU sPeAk Of YoUr 'DeStInY'? YeS, I kNoW oF yOuR pUrPoSe, YoUr GrEaT qUeSt To ReUnItE tHe ThReE wAnDeRiNg PiEcEs Of BaRa MaGnA. AlLoW mE tO sHoW yOu WhAt I ThInK." Makuta says
Another burst of power shot forth from Makuta's outstretched hand striking Mata Nui's shoulder, staggering him and tearing a gash in his robotic shell
"Ah. So YoU mUsT bE uSiNg An OlDeR mOdEl. ChEaP mAtErIaLs, ChEAp CoNsTrUcTiOn...I'm SuRpRiSeD yOu WoUlD bE cAuGhT dEaD iN tHaT oLd ReLiC. YoU tRuLy ArE pAtHeTiC, bRoThEr." Makuta says
"Makuta, listen to me! My destiny is yours too. We're supposed to work together to restore Spherus Magna to it's former prosper. Please. Put aside all this violence. Let us work to rebuild this world, not rule over it." Mata Nui says
Makuta took two steps forward and backhanded Mata Nui toppling him over flattening the entire mountain range where he fell
"WhY? BeCaUsE tHe GrEaT BeInGs CoMmAnD sO? WhErE aRe ThEy NoW? LeT tHeM cOmE fOrTh AnD dEmAnD mE tHeMsElVeS wHaT I mUsT dO." Makuta says
There was silence. Nothing stirred in the desert. No one even uttered a word or even a single breath of air until Makuta chuckled in his sinister laughter
"As I tHoUgHt. ThEy ArE cOwArDs. ThEy AbAnDoNeD tHiS wOrLd To It'S fAtE. To It'S dEmIsE. So ShOuLd YoU, bRoThEr. ThErE iS nOtHiNg To sAvE. Or Do YoU bElIeVe ThEsE mIsErAbLe PeAsAnTs WhO iNhAbIt ThIs PaThEtIc PlAnEt WiLl CrAfT lEgEnDs Of YoU aNd SiNg SoNgS tO yOuR gLoRy?" Makuta says
Mata Nui rose to his feet. His robotic body was now cracked in several places
"I'm not doing this for glory, brother. I am here to do justice to these people whom I have left after so many years." Mata Nui says
Makuta looked toward where Devon, his friends, Kiina, Gresh, the Agori and the Glatorians hid inside the cave in a mountain to the south
"I aM sUrPrIsEd At ThIs NeW lEvEl Of CoNcErN fOr ThInGs ThAt ScUrRy ArOuNd AcRoSs ThE sAnDs. YoU nEvEr SeEmEd To CaRe VeRy MuCh AbOuT tHoSe YoU kEpT aLiVe. AnD yEt, HeRe YoU aRe, TrYiNg To Be A hErO fOr ThEsE uSeLeSs BeInGs." Makuta says
Makuta stretched his hand out toward the mountain. Using the gravitic power of his robot form, he tore the mountain loose from the ground exposing everyone who had been concealed inside. They all looked up fearfully at the mountain that now hovered over their heads
"ShAlL I dRoP iT? WhAt Do YoU tHiNk ThEy WiLl FeEl AbOuT tHeIr 'HeRo' In ThEiR lAsT fEw PrEcIoUs MoMeNtS oF lIfE? WiLl ThEy DiE cUrSiNg YoU iN tHeIr HeArTs?" Makuta asks
"You wouldn't dare. Kill all those innocents just to prove some point? You're a fool." Mata Nui says
"THaT bOdY dOeSn'T mAkE yOu A gIaNt. StAnD 40 mIlLiOn fEeT hIgH oR 100 mIlLiOn, YoU aRe StIlL aN iNsEcT." Makuta says
Mata Nui raised both arms and hurled twin blasts of energy at Makuta
"And here on Bara Magna, we know what to do with insects." Mata Nui says
The surprise attack hit Makuta hard and it caused him to drop the mountain he held suspended above Devon and his friends, not to mention the Agori and the Glatorians. With no time to spare, Mata Nui fired a second blast turning the falling mass to dust just before it could crush all of his friends
"Go! Get far away from here!" Mata Nui shouts
Down below, Ackar turned to Raanu
"Do as he says. Take the Agori and head to the east, as far as you can." Ackar says
"What about you?" Raanu asks
Ackar's Flame Sword glowed red hot
"I think Mata Nui could use some help against that monster. If nothing else, I could be a distraction that can buy him a few seconds." Ackar says
"We can do more than that. I have a plan." Devon says as he and his friends stepped forward
Makuta smiled at Mata Nui
"So PrEdiCtAbLe. AnD yOu dOn'T eVeN SeE iT, dO yOu?" Makuta says as he rises to his feet
Mata Nui didn't respond
"Of cOuRsE yOu DoN't, EvEn ThOuGh My StRaTeGy WoUlD bE cLeAr To A bLiNd TuNnEl CrAwLeR. AlL I nEeD bUt Do Is ThReAtEn ThE iNhAbItAnTs HeRe To MaKe YoU eXpEnD pOwEr To SaVe ThEm.

What Makuta said was true. The Toa and the Matoran were still inside Makuta's body. Mata Nui didn't want to hurt those who were trapped inside Makuta's body, but his restraint would cost him his life if he did not do something. And if that wasn't enough, Makuta's surprise attack had really damaged Mata Nui's robot body suffering severe damage. There was no telling how much more damage the robot would withstand. And it would only get worse
Down on the ground, Devon and his friends along with Ackar, Kiina, Gresh, Tarix, Vastus, and the other Glatorians charged toward Makuta. Devon and the Viking Teens were on their dragons flying low through the air above the Glatorians with Spyro and Cynder flying alongside them. The plan was for Ackar, Kiina, Gresh, Tarix, Vastus, the other Glatorians, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch to distract Makuta as best as they could while Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid and Stormfly try to find a way inside. The group was too small to pose any threat to Makuta, but Devon hoped that the Glatorians using their Thornax Launchers could focus their attacks on potential weak spots like joints and other potential weak spots. Once inside, Devon and his friends would secure an entry point so that the others could join him in smashing whatever was inside. The Glatorian were soon firing their Thornax Launchers at the ankle joint on Makuta's left leg. Fishlegs, Snotlout, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut help out with Meatlug's Lava Blast, Hookfang's Fire Blast, and Barf and Belch's Gas and Spark Blast
"Concentrate your fire! Target one spot and punch a hole in it!" Ackar shouts
The group was throwing everything they got at Makuta's ankle, but their attacks were hardly having any effect. Whatever the robot was made out of, it was tough
Devon and his group made it to Makuta's foot without being stepped on, blasted, or pulverized. They managed to find what appeared to be a large hatch enough for them all to fit in. But the real challenge was getting in and surviving whatever was inside
Makuta knew they were there. His sensors recorded their approach and his damage control systems were monitoring their attacks. None of this came as a surprise. Makuta knew Mata Nui would find followers. No doubt, they were as foolhardy as the Toa and the Matoran. Like his brother, these heroic sorts were predictable. The moment he made plans for an attack on Bara Magna, he mentally ordered his forces inside to move out. Inside his body, large numbers of Rahkshi and a new species of warriors called Skakdi
Skakdi were very brutal warriors. They were tall and powerful wearing what appeared to be a permanent bestial smile. They also had organic spines that extended from the back of their heads to their upper arms which ended in claws
Devon and his group were now infront of the hatch when it suddenly let out a hiss. The hatch was now slowly opening
"Something's coming out." Astrid says
"Take cover!" Devon shouts
The group hides behind some rocks. What they saw next was staggering. A horde of of Rahkshi and Skakdi charged out of the hatch. In the lead were yellow-black Rahkshi. Unlike the Rahkshi that Devon and his friends had fought before with the Toa Nuva, these Rahkshi had powers of Heat Vision. Behind these Rahkshi were the Skakdi Warriors. Devon and his friends were very familiar with the Rahkshi although they had never seen any of this kind. But the Skakdi Warriors were new to them
"Makuta's unleashing his forces." Luna says
"And from the looks of it, he must've been very busy." Hiccup says
"Those must no doubt be Rahkshi." Devon says looking toward the yellow Rahkshi
"But what are those?" Spyro asks looking at the Skakdi Warriors
"We haven't seen those things before." Cynder says
"I'm not sure what to make of them. But whatever they are, they're obviously not good." Devon says
"Yeah. Especially since they're working with the Rahkshi." Astrid says
The Rahkshi and Skakdi charged into the group of startled Glatorians and the Viking Teens battering their way through
"Pull back! Pull back!" Ackar shouts
Kiina aimed her trident at one of the Rahkshi and launched a powerful jet of water at it. Two beams of heat vision shot out from the eyes of the Rahkshi turning the water to steam. For the moment, Kiina could not see the Rahkshi through the cloud. Then, the Rahkshi came barreling out of the fog and smashed into her, knocking her off her feet. Kiina raised her trident to defend herself. The Rahkshi's heat vision made the weapon too hot to handle making Kiina drop her weapon crying out in pain. The Rahkshi drew back it's staff to deliver the final blow. Suddenly, there was a horrible crunch and the Rahkshi's head was sent flying. Ackar grabbed Kiina's hand and hauled her to her feet
"It got in the way of my sword. It won't do it again." Ackar says
The Rahkshi's helmet hit the sand and tumbled to a stop. A moment later, a Kraata crawled out of it
"What is that?!" Kiina asks
Ackar aimed his Flame Sword at the Kraata and hurled a blast of fire incenerating the slug
"Whatever it is...was...it's not anymore." Ackar says
Kiina picked up her trident just in time to block an attack from a Skakdi warrior
"Those metal things, they're just worms in armor?" Kiina asks
Ackar nodded as he slammed a Rahkshi into the ground
"Good. Then I won't have to worry about a mess when I smash them to bits." Kiina says
Devon and his group watched as Ackar, Kiina, and the rest of the group fought off the Rahkshi and Skakdi as best as they could
"C'mon. While the hatch is still open." Devon says
The group headed for the open hatch until they saw more figures coming out and stopped short. The first figure to step into the sunlight was Tahu and Takanuva who Devon and his friends were very familiar with
"Tahu! Takanuva!" Devon and his friends exclaim happy to see the two Toa
"Devon, my friends. It's good to see you again." Tahu says
Devon and his friends rushes up to the two Toa
"Same here. What's happened in there? Were you trapped inside Makuta's body with the Matoran?" Devon says
"Yes. We've been trying to find a way to defeat Maktua, but have come up with nothing. Makuta sent the Rahkshi and the Skakdi Warriors after us and the rest of the Toa. As soon as Makuta landed, we were able to fight our way out." Tahu says
"You couldn't have come at a better time." Devon says
Tahu looks toward Ackar, Kiina, Gresh, the other Glatorians and the Viking Teens fighting the Rahshi and the Skakdi warriors
"So those are your friends fighting the Rahkshi?" Tahu says
"Yes." Devon says
"Then, let's go. These people need our help." Tahu says
"You and Takanuva go ahead. We've got to go inside and stop Makuta." Devon says
"You can't do any good in there. You'll just get yourselves killed. The only way we can help Mata Nui is if we stand out here and fight." Takanuva says
"Alright. Then, we'll stay and fight together." Devon says
Tahu and Takanuva nodded in agreement. With the Toa now joining them, Devon and his friends raced off to fight the Rahkshi and the Skakdi Warriors until Tahu stopped dead in his tracks. This made everyone look toward Tahu. The Toa of Fire wasn't moving. He was standing idle in the sand, staring straight ahead, as if in a trance. Takanuva ran up to Tahu and started to shake him
"Hey, Tahu! What's the matter? Come on, speak to me!" Takanuva says
"Tahu?! Tahu! Can you hear me!" Devon says
Takanuva, Devon and his friends all called out to Tahu, but he couldn't hear them
From high upon a rise, Stronius watched the battle below. He was one of the Skrall's Elite Class under the leadership of Tuma. That was until Devon and Mata Nui defeated him and sent the Skrall retreating into the desert. Stronius had managed to gather together only a few warriors to strike for revenge. But they would be enough. In the distance, he could see the two giant robots fighting. He did not know who they were, nor did he care. He wanted Mata Nui and Devon, but they were nowhere to be seen. Stronius took a closer look and saw Devon with his friends. He also saw Ackar, Kiina, and the others. They were in the middle of the fight of their lives. It was just the sort of situation Stronius could use to his advantage. Stronius would send the Skrall to aid the invaders and wipe out Devon, his friends and the Glatorians. And then he can live with the knowledge that Mata Nui's friends died for him
"Go! Attack! Our vengeance begins today! Stronius shouts
With that said, the Skrall charged into battle assisting Makuta's forces with the invasion
(Elsewhere)
Tahu was standing on a lava field. He recognized where he was. He was back in Ta-Wahi, the region of flame and magma he had visited more than a year before. It was here that he had begun his quest for the Kanohi Masks of Power, and here his battle against Makuta had begun. There was a mask hovering in the air before him. It was the Mask of Life. As the mask floated around him, Tahu heard a voice coming from it. He could hear it speaking to him in his mind
"The Mask on Life was never on that island. It was someplace else entirely, and my team did not find it. It was other heroes who achieved that. So why am I seeing it where I know it cannot be." Tahu asks
"You are seeing what you need to see. A message has been sent; a message has been received. Now I must pass the knowledge on to you."
"So, I'm in an illusion. I can hear myself speaking, but I m not really talking at all, am I? It s all in my head. This is some trick of Makuta's, and I'm going to- Tahu says before something else happens
There was a blast of color and sound, cutting him off. A billion images shot through Tahu s mind at once. He saw his universe, beings both familiar and unfamiliar, adventures he had not been part of yet now he knew must have happened. In that instant, he was more certain than he had ever been of anything that he what he was now experiencing
"The hordes of the Makuta are unstoppable. The Glatorian and Agori will fall. And so will the Keyblade Master and his friends."
"Thanks for the inspiration. Well, I didn't go through all I have been through, fighting Makuta, taking an energized protodermis bath and transforming into a Toa Nuva, almost getting killed a hundred times to give up now." Tahu says
"Yes, a Toa Nuva. To do what you must, you have to be what you were. Becoming a Nuva gave you great power, but it cannot be allowed to stand."
"What? What are you-" Tahu says before light enveloped his body
The power of the Mask of Life washed over him, undoing what the energized protodermis had done to him. His body, mask, and armor changed, going back to what they had been when he was first created. Tahu could already feel his elemental power weakened by the changed. Despite all the changes, Tahu noticed that he still wore his adaptive armor
"What have you done?!" Tahu asks
"The ways of Life are not for you to understand. The Great Beings planned for much, though not all. They knew a rampant infection might one day threaten their robot, and they meant for a Toa to stop it. To do so, they gave me the knowledge to create a golden suit of Toa armor."
"I wore a golden mask once. It was powerful, but it couldn t do what you claim." Tahu says
"It was a candle beside a bonfire. I can create the armor, but be warned it can be used but once, and there is not telling what its use will do to you, Tahu."
The Toa of Fire felt the world spin around him for an instant
(Bara Magna Desert)
Tahu soon found himself back in the Bara Magna desert, with Takanuva, Devon and his friends shouting at him
"Tahu! Wake up!" Takanuva shouts
"Tahu!" Devon shouts
Tahu gently pushed his friends away
"I'm all right." Tahu says
"No. No, you're not. Tahu, you re not a Toa Nuva anymore." Takanuva says
"Takanuva's right. You ve changed." Devon says
Tahu reached up and felt his mask and armor. The Mask of Life had really turned him back into what he had been long before he became a Toa Nuva. He was now a Toa Mata. No longer could his Mask of shielding protect others beside himself, nor would his fire power be enough to stop the army Makuta had assembled
"That cursed mask. It s ruined me." Tahu says
"Perhaps it had good reason to do so. Look." Luna says looking up
The group looked up toward the sky. Shafts of golden light were erupting from one of the two giant robots. Wherever they touched the sand, a piece of golden armor formed. They watched as five segments took shape, followed by a sixth in the shape of Tahu's Mask of Shielding
They rushed forward, each grabbing one piece. But before they could gather the rest, Makuta hurled a burst of energy down at them. It struck with a massive explosion, scattering the group and the remaining pieces of armor. It took a few moments for them to recover. Devon raised his head and looked ahead of him. Beyond the newly formed crater, he spotted a yellow-armored Rahkshi snatching up one of the armor pieces
"Tahu? Was that armor really important?" Devon asks
"Yes." Tahu says
"Then I think we have a problem. Something tells me we need to get those armor pieces back. But we'll need the others for help." Devon says
"Right. Let's go get Fishlegs, Snotlout, and the Twins." Hiccup says
Devon and his friends rush to regroup with the four Viking Teens fighting alongside the Glatorians. They noticed the golden armor had scattered, but did not know what to think of it. Fishlegs, Snotlout, and the Twins soon met up with Devon and the others
"Can someone tell me what just happened?" Snotlout asks
"Well, long story short, Tahu, Takanuva, and the Toa are here." Devon says
"Tahu and Takanuva are here?" Fishlegs asks
"Yeah. And they need our help to gather the golden armor pieces that had just scattered." Hiccup says
"How many pieces are there?" Tuffnut asks
"Is it alot?" Ruffnut asks
"I counted at least six." Devon says
"So, we're supposed to collect six gold amor pieces in the middle of a battlefield?!" Snotlout asks
"Yep. Pretty much." Astrid says
"We'll have to split up. Luna, Spyro, Cynder and I will go with Tahu. Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, you go with Takanuva. Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf, Belch, you go see if you can collect the other four pieces. Once we've collected them all, we'll give them to Tahu. He's the only one who can use them." Devon says
"What do these golden armor pieces do anyway?" Tuffnut asks
"I bet it's awesome." Ruffnut says
"I guess we'll find out once we get them over to Tahu. Now go!" Devon says
With that said, Devon and his friends took off to help Tahu and Takanuva find the golden armor pieces
Hundreds of yards away, Gresh had used a controlled cyclone to send a half dozen Rahkshi flying. He was about to go to Ackar s aid when something struck the ground just in front of him. He whirled about. Thinking it was another attack, but no enemy was near. Glancing down, he saw the missile had been a piece of golden armor, now half-buried in the sand. Gresh reached down and picked it up
"What's this? Where did it come from? Gresh asks
Elsewhere, Fishlegs and Meatlug saw a band of Skrall approaching from the west
"Not good." Fishlegs says
Meatlug roared ahead drawing Fishlegs' attention
"What is it, girl?" Fishlegs asks
Fishlegs and Meatlug look ahead toward the approaching Skrall and they saw a piece of the golden armor in one of the Skrall's hands
"Hey, one of them is carrying a golden armor piece. C'mon, girl. We got to go get it." Fishlegs says
Fishlegs and Meatlug took off into the air and headed for the Skrall
"Alright, Meatlug. Let's get them! Lava Blast!" Fishlegs says
Meatlug shoots out a Lava Blast at the Skrall. The blast hit the group of Skrall blasting them away. It also tore the golden armor piece from the Skrall warrior's hand and sent it flying toward Fishlegs and Meatlug. Meatlug catches the golden piece in her mouth
"Good catch, Meatlug!" Fishlegs says
Elsewhere, Snotlout and Hookfang were facing off against a small group of Rahkshi. The lead Rahkshi held a piece of the golden armor in it's hand
"Hookfang, let's get that armor." Snotlout says
Hookfang roared in agreement and charged into battle. The Rahkshi attacked charging toward Snotlout and Hookfang. Hookfang rammed his head into a Rahkshi sending it flying and then fired a Fire Blast at it blasting it to pieces. Next, Hookfang unleashed a stream of flames at the other Rahkshi sending them ablaze. Three Rahkshi tried to attack the two from behind, but Hookfang slammed them away with his tail. Once all the Rahkshi were defeated, Hookfang walked over to the gold piece with Snotlout on the back of his neck holding on to his horns and picked it up in his mouth
"Piece of cake." Snotlout says with a confident look on his face
Snotlout spoke too soon as Hookfang threw him off sending him flying across the air. Snotlout landed head first into the sand
"Uh, Hookfang? A little help?" Snotlout says with a muffled voice as his head was buried in the sand
The Twins, Tuffnut and Ruffnut with their dragon, Barf and Belch stood up against a group of Skakdi Warriors
"Alright! Let's go get 'em!" Tuffnut shouts
"You just read my mind!" Ruffnut shouts
The Skakdi Warriors charged toward the Twins while they charged toward them. Barf and Belch grabbed two Skakdi Warriors in their mouths and tossed them aside. Then, they slammed both their tails into several other Skakdi Warriors sending them flying
"Gas me, sis!" Tuffnut says
"You got it!" Ruffnut says
Barf spewed out a cloud of gas onto the Skakdi Warriors. The Skakdi were caught inside the cloud and were left blind by the thick gas
"Now let's blow them away!" Tuffnut shouts
Belch ignited the gas with his sparks creating a large explosion which blasted the Skakdi Warriors away
"Yeah!" Tuffnut and Ruffnut shout raising their arms up
Not far away, Takanuva was dodging the heat vision Rahkshi. In the past, his light powers had been enough to stagger these creatures, but not this time. Takanuva fired a laser at the Rahkshi. The Rahkshi countered it in mid-air with it s heat vision. It was a stalemate at fist, then slowly Takanuva started to gain the advantage. The Rahkshi hissed in anger. Before Takanuva could finish off the Rahkshi, he caught a glimpse of a golden armor piece in the Rahkshi's hand. He lost focus on the task at hand and was hit with a blast of searing heat. Takanuva cried out and fell. Two Rahkshi closed in on the fallen Toa. But before they could reach him, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, and Stormfly dropped in and landed infront of Takanuva protecting him from the Rahkshi
"Toothless, Plasma Blast!" Hiccup shouts
Toothless fires a single Plasma Blast at one of the Rahkshi blasting it to pieces. The Kraata slug that drove the armor slithered away. It didn't go to far though as Toothless stomped on it with his right-paw
"Stormfly, Spine Shot!" Astrid shouts
Stormfly flicked her tail sending multiple spikes toward the other Rahkshi. The spikes pierces the Rahkshi multiple times in numerous spots on it's body. The Rahkshi fell to the ground defeated and the Kraata slug slithered out only to meet it's end with Stormfly stomping on it with her Right-foot
After dealing with the two Rahkshi, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, and Stormfly helped Takanuva up to his feet
"Takanuva, are you alright?" Astrid asks
Toothless held his head under Takanuva's Right-arm and lifted his head up helping the Toa of Light to his feet
"I'm fine. Thanks." Takanuva says
Takanuva soon saw the Rahkshi with the golden piece attacking with it's heat vision again
"Watch out!" Takanuva shouts moving up infront of Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, and Stormfly
Takanuva countered the heat vision with a blue beam of light from one of his staffs. Like before, it was a stalemate. Takanuva took his other staff and shot another blue beam of light combining with the other. The beam of light eventually reached the Rahkshi and blasted it to the ground. The Rahkshi was defeated and the Kraata slug slithered out. Just like the others, it quickly met it's end with Toothless stomping on it with his paw. Takanuva walked over to the broken shell and picked up the golden piece
"We got it." Astrid says
"That's one piece down and only five more to go." Hiccup says
"Right. Let's get this over to Tahu." Takanuva says
With that said, Takanuva, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, and Stormfly went to go deliver the golden piece of armor to Tahu
Elsewhere, Tahu was fighting against Nektann while Devon, Luna, Spyro and Cynder fought off against several Skakdi Warriors. They had spotted Nektann holding a golden armor piece only moments before his attack
Devon fought the Skakdi with his Keyblade while Luna, Spyro and Cynder stood near protecting him from the other Skakdi Warriors. Devon defended against a Skakdi's Twin Blade by holding his Keyblade horizontally. He then shoved the Skakdi back and delivered a powerful round-house diagonal slash. The Skakdi fell to the sand defeated. Luna hit two Skakdi Warriors with her wings and then she hit a third one by slamming her tail into it. Spyro used his Fire Breath sending four Skakdi Warriors ablaze. Cynder used her Wind Breath blowing several Skakdi Warriors away
"I'll crush you! Nektann shouts charging toward Tahu
Tahu blocked Nektann's Twin Blade with his Flame Sword
"You can t, and you know it." Nektann says
"Look around, barbarian. All around you, warriors are fighting and dying. This isn't a game. There are no rules. It's not about honor, or pride, or who's better. It's about winning. To survive." Tahu says
His sword melted the blade which rendered Nektann defenseless. Even though his weapon was rendered useless, Nektann wouldn't give up
"So you did learn something from your enemies, Toa. Maybe we won in the end. We made you like us." Nektann says
"Not like you. Never like you. You fight to take lives. We fight to save them." Tahu says
Nektann charged toward Tahu, but he was flipped over and slammed into the sand
"You and your kind were what I was created to stop. You ve terrorized villagers, murdered innocent lives, and now you serve a monster that would enslave worlds. I'm going to do whatever I have to do." Tahu says
Nektann shot up back up fast to his feet and grabbed Tahu by his throat lifting him off his feet
"You don't have the guts, anymore than those I killed, or the villagers who had more courage than sense. Some of them even didn't have time to scream before they died." Nektann says
The Skakdi squeezed harder, starting to choke Tahu
"Talk, talk, talk. That s all you Toa are good for. Try talking when I'm starting to crush your-" Nektann says before he noticed something was wrong
Tahu's eyes were gleaming and blistering heat was running down Nektann's arm. Before the Skakdi's eyes, his armor began to melt. It fell in molten drops to the sand, first his gauntlet, then the plate on his arm, then his chest armor. Tahu never moved or spoke
"What are you doing?! My armor!" Nektann says
"Be grateful you were wrong." Tahu says
Devon, Luna, Spyro and Cynder walked up to Tahu as Nektann fell to the ground in a mass of liquid metal
"Be grateful I never learned from my enemies to kill. You'll live, Skakdi, but you won't forget." Tahu says
Tahu walked over and picked up the golden piece of armor
"And, Mata Nui help me, neither will I." Tahu says
Towering above the fight, Mata Nui and Makuta were glowing like stars as they expended all their energy in their own personal struggle. Mata Nui had managed to do some additional damage, but the fight was clearly not going his way. Makuta had the advantages of size, strength, greater energy reserves, and sheer brutality
"I dOn'T kNoW wHaT tHaT lIgHt ShOw wAs aBoUt. DiD yOu HoPe To LiGhT tHe WaY FoR yOuR ToA aCrOsS tHe SaNdS? Oh, YeS, I sAw ThEm PuRsUiNg My RaHkShI. GaLi AnD PoHaTu HaVe AlReAdY dEvAsTaTeD hAlF A lEgIoN. I rEaLlY mUsT mAkE aN eXaMpLe Of ThOsE tWo." Makuta says
"You thought you could slaughter the inhabitants of this planet, but they won't surrender to you, anymore than the Matoran or Toa did." Mata Nui says
"AnD lOoK hOw WeLl ThAt WoRkEd OuT fOr ThEm." Makuta says, landing a solid blow and cracking Mata Nui s chest armor
Mata Nui fired a bolt of pure power, striking the same spot he had before. Makuta growled as the attack hit him
"YoU rElY tOo MuCh On ThE bRaVeRy AnD sPiRiT oF yOuR fOlLoWeRs, BrOtHeR. EvEn HeRe, On YoUr AdOpTeD wOrLd, YoU gAtHeR sTaRrY-eYeD fOoLs ArOuNd YoU. HoW dO yOu HoPe To SaVe ThEm?" Makuta says with a menacing voice
Makuta lowered his right arm, palm pointed toward the site of the battle below. Dark energies gathered around his hand, the sort of power he had been hurling up to now
"Gravity. He is going to unleash the power of gravity on Bara Magna." Mata Nui says to himself
Makuta's red eyes gleamed with triumph
"YoU kNoW, dOn'T yOu? A sInGlE bLaSt Of GrAvItIc PoWeR aNd ThiS pLaNeT wIlL fOlD iN oN iTsElF, dEsTrOyInG eVeRyThInG aNd EvErYoNE oN iT. I wIlL sUrViVe PeRhApS yOu MiGhT aS wElL, bUt EvErYoNe ElSe WiLl Be A mEmOrY." Makuta says
"You can t do that! The consequences-" Mata Nui says before Makuta interrupts him
"I sToPpEd CaRiNg AbOuT cOnSeQuEnCeS lOnG aGo. ThOsE sOrT oF wOrRiEs ArE fOr ThE wEaK, aNd I aM sTrOnG, bRoThEr. By RiGhT oF pOwEr, I cLaImEd YoUr WoRlD aNd NoW I cLaIm ThIs OnE sTaRtInG hErE aNd NoW!" Makuta says
Large amounts of energy erupted in waves from Makuta's gauntlet, a planet-killing force that could not be stopped. Mata Nui's face turned to shock as he saw the attack being unleashed. As swiftly as he could move, he threw himself at his brother, grabbing Makuta s arm. He jerked it up in the air, sending the gravitic power surging into the sky. It was an act of pure desperation, and pure luck, and pure genius, all rolled into one. The power beam struck the moons of Bara Magna, adding itself to the power Mata Nui had already sent into space. The moons were now heading home. Makuta roared and pushed Mata Nui away. His robot body was minutes away from failure and Bota Magna and Aqua Magna were rushing toward their reunion with Bara Magna
"YoU mAdE aN eXcElLeNt eFfOrT, bUt ThEy DoN't ReMeMbEr WhO tRiEd ThE hArDeSt. OnLy ThOsE wHo WoN. ToDaY, tHaT iS I. GoOdByE, bRoThEr." Makuta says
Down on the ground, the group had gathered all of the pieces. Devon, Luna, Spyro and Cynder were with Tahu holding their piece of golden armor. Then, Takanuva, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid and Stormfly came in with their piece. Then, there was Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch coming in with their pieces. The group gave all their pieces to Tahu. But when they counted it, the found only five. One was missing
"Wait. We're missing one!" Tahu says
Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch came in with no golden piece
"Where's the piece of armor?" Hiccup asks
"What? Oh sorry. We got so caught up in all the fighting, we forgot what it was we were looking for." Tuffnut says
"But it was awesome." Ruffnut says
"You Mutton heads! Where's the last one?!" Snotlout asks
"There!" Devon says pointing over to Gresh
Gresh was fighting off against a Skakdi Warrior with the sixth piece in his hand. The group immediately rushed over to his side. Devon threw his Keyblade at the Skakdi Warrior. His attack landed a direct hit and the Skakdi Warrior fell to the sand defeated
"The armor! We need it!" Tahu shouts
Gresh turned his attention to the group
"What?" Gresh asks
Gresh then turned his attention to the golden piece of armor in his hand
"All right. Take it." Gresh says handing the gold piece over to Tahu
The group now had all six pieces of the golden armor
"What's it for?" Gresh asks
"We don t know. Takanuva says
"But we're about to find out." Devon says
"I hope it will be awesome." Ruffnut says
Tahu clamped the golden armor into the armor sections onto his own crimson armor. Then he removed his Mask of Shielding and replaced it with the golden one. Tahu concentrated, focusing his thoughts just as he would to activate his mask power or control flame. But this time, he was willing the golden armor to do whatever it could do to end this battle. Power surged through him. Electricity locked his muscles and suffused his body with a blinding light. Tendrils of energy shot from him, coiling around every Rahkshi on the battlefield. The creatures fell to the ground, seized by spasms as their power raced back along the tendrils and into Tahu. As combatants on both sides watched, the Rahkshi s armor and the Kraata slugs inside them exploded into shards of shadow
The battle was finally over. With the Rahkshi gone, the Skakdi and Skrall were badly outnumbered by the legion of heroes and they quickly surrendered
Makuta was about to finish off Mata Nui until he sensed the deaths of his Rahkshi which made him pause for a moment. While Makuta was left distracted, paying no attention to the world around him or the sky above him, Mata Nui could see the Jungle Moon, Bota Magna appear behind Makuta. Using all his strength, Mata Nui slammed his whole body against Makuta's body shoving him backwardsinto the path of the planetoid. Its edge impacted the giant robot, smashing the metallic head with a sickening crunch. Makuta s armored form began to topple toward Mata Nui and the Bara Magna desert. Using every bit of mechanical muscle he possessed, Mata Nui caught Makuta and pushed him aside, causing the massive robot to fall onto the Black Spikes. The impact of the robot crushed the mountains to powder, even as the twin collisions of Bota Magna and Aqua Magna shook the entire world. Spherus Magna was once more. Destiny had been achieved. But the journey was not yet at its end
Author's Note: Here it is! The Epic Battle of Spherus Magna! Mata Nui now has possession of the prototype robot. But just as he prepares to restore Spherus Magna, Makuta Teridax arrives seeking to destroy him, along with Devon and his friends. Within moments, the battle begins. Makuta Teridax VS Mata Nui. And Devon and his friends VS the countless Rahkshi and Skakdi Warriors a.k.a the Piraka. The group meets up with Toa Tahu and Takanuva. Together, they along with the Glatorians and the other Toa face off against the Rahkshi, Piraka, and the Skrall. Spherus Magna was turned into a large battlefield. Tahu had changed form and was given a set of Golden Armor, but a blast from Makuta scattered the six pieces of armor. Devon and his friends seeked out the golden pieces and brought them to Tahu who clamped them on. Using the golden armor, Tahu instantly defeats all the Rahkshi which attracted Makuta's attention giving Mata Nui the advantage. Mata Nui defeats Makuta and the Battle of Spherus Magna was finally over. Now only one chapter left and the group's journey through the Bionicle Universe shall finally be complete.
