(Spherus Magna)
The Great Battle of Spherus Magna was over. The Bara Magna desert was a disaster area. The surrounding mountains had been pulverized or flattened and massive scorch marks scarred the sands. The ground was littered with the bodies of those who had lost their lives in the clash, along with countless shattered pieces of Rahkshi armor. Dominating it all, of course, was the fallen robot that once had been Makuta's greatest weapon. Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch stood with Tahu and Takanuva on a dune as they looked toward the broken metallic shell. Suddenly, dozens of beings came streaming out of the robot. Toa, Matoran villagers, animals, birds, insects, and more came out of the robot shielding their eyes against the bright sun of their new world
"Do you think Makuta is really gone?" Takanuva asks
"I hope so." Tahu says
"And what about the rest? The Matoran, the other Toa us can we all survive here?" Takanuva asks
The group looked out over the vast desert. Already, they could see Agori coming to the aid of Matoran, Glatorian talking with Toa, and members of other species already scouting for someplace to settle and regroup
"You know what, Takanuva? I think we're going to be just fine." Tahu says
Mata Nui looked down at the various populations meeting so far down below and felt like he was seeing the future. The Matoran and Agori had much to learn from each other. The Toa teamed with the Glatorian would safeguard both sets of villagers from any threat. Natural alliances were being forged even now. He then looked toward the fallen form of Makuta. Had he and Makuta worked together, they could have restored Spherus Magna without the devastation and loss of life. But Makuta's greed and ambition wouldn't allow that. In the end, both his mad dreams and the body he had stolen were both wreckage. Makuta was the past. It was time to worry about today and tomorrow for this world
When he had gone to Raanu and asked to take the Agori's city away from them, Mata Nui made a vow to himself. If he succeeded in rebuilding the planet, he would not stop there. He would give the Agori a new life, a new chance to thrive here. Now it was time to begin that work
Mata Nui scanned the body he wore. It was badly damaged and power levels were barely high enough to do what had to be done. But if he could call upon the Mask of Life one last time, combine its energies with the robot's, then he could restore Spherus Magna to it's glorious prosper
Of course, there was one other aspect of what he was about to do that he tried to ignore. There was no way he would survive it. The robot was already dangerously unstable and channeling so much power through it at once would surely mean it's destruction. Mata Nui would die with it
If that was how it had to be, so be it. The Great Beings owed this people a debt, and he was going to pay it
Mata Nui looked toward the sky and stretched out his arms. He summoned the energies that coursed through his body, even as he called out to the Mask of Life
Mata Nui felt the power of the mask merge with what little remained of his own. Then he willed that power to flow from his body and sweep across the planet. Everywhere it touched, mountains rose, forests flourished, life appeared where none had been before. In the desert of Bara Magna, time seemed to flow backwards as barren sand gave way to a jungle teaming with trees, plants, and long dead rivers returned to life
The vast ocean of Aqua Magna felt Mata Nui s touch as well. Underwater, plants flourished, providing a bounty for the fish that swam the sea. The power of the Mask of Life touched even the twisted, mutated beings who had lived in the depths, curing them of their worst afflictions while leaving them able to survive beneath the waves
In the great forest of Bota Magna, the giant, bio-mechanical reptiles created so long ago by the Great Beings watched, amazed, as their homeland shifted and changed all around them. Areas where trees and foliage had ceased to grow suddenly were green again. Smaller animals scurried from their hiding places to feast on the new growth
The Agori and Glatorian stood in the once desert and were speechless. This was not the world they once knew. It was better. Even Devon and his friends were left speechless. They all stood in awe with the Agori and the Glatorians as they watched Spherus Magna return to it's former glory. After 100,000 years of struggling to survive, of scraping for every morsel of food and drop of water, now there was enough for all. As they watched in awe, clouds gathered above their heads for the first time in living memory, it began to rain down on the planet
"He did it. I can t believe it." Kiina says amazed
"It's amazing. I can't even...I don't know how to put it into words." Ackar says amazed
"He promised me. He promised to bring me to a new world. Instead, he brought the new world to me." Kiina says
"Wait. Mata Nui! He's... he's collapsing!" Ackar says shocked
Everyone now looked toward Mata Nui in shock The overwhelming strain had taxed Mata Nui's robot body past its limit. The metal that made it up was disintegrating rapidly, along with its interior mechanisms. Even from a distance, they could all see the destruction spreading rapidly. Soon, the air was filled with metal dust along with a few larger pieces of the body scattered here and there. This was all that remained of the giant robot. Ackar, Kiina, Gresh, Devon and his friends
"Our troubles weren t his. He could have gone north in search of his own answers and left us to deal with the Skrall, if he'd wanted too." Ackar says
"But he didn't. He fought beside us and risked his life for people he didn't even know." Devon says
Suddenly, there was a faint glow in the center of the rubble. The glow grew brighter. The Mask of Life flew out from the wreckage and hovered in mid-air infront of the group. The mask was now gleaming brighter than the sun. And if that wasn't enough, they all heard an all too familiar voice speaking to them. It was Mata Nui
"My friends, the debt owed to all of you has been repaid. You have your world back again. Live on it in peace." Mata Nui says
"Mata Nui?" Devon and his friends say in unison
"We thought you were dead." Kiina says
"My mind and spirit lived inside this mask for so long that when the body I wore died, I was drawn back to it." Mata Nui says
"The mask can do amazing things. You could use it to make a body for yourself, couldn't you? We could all use your wisdom and your guidance." Tahu says
"I think perhaps this is not the time for me to walk among you. You all have a new life to build. My destiny is fulfilled, but for many of you, it has yet to be written. You need to find your path without my shadow hanging over you." Mata Nui says
"But but all the battles we fought, all that we endured, was to bring you back to us." Takanuva says
"And in doing so, you grew as a people past the point where you needed a Great Spirit to guide you." Mata Nui says
"So is this goodbye?" Kiina asks
"Never goodbye. Even I cannot predict the future, or if the time will come when I shall be at your side once more. But until that day arrives, I have something I must ask of you." Mata Nui says
"Anything. Name it." Ackar says
"The Great Beings. They vanished 100,000 years ago, not long after creating me. They were tormented by guilt over what they knew would happen to Spherus Magna, and their role in causing it. Find them tell them the planet is whole once more convince them to share their gifts with you. I learned what it can mean to have friends, not subjects. Allies, rather than workers or soldiers. Perhaps they can do the same." Mata Nui says
Mata Nui began to speak to Devon and his group
"Devon, my friends, I thank you for helping me fulfill my destiny. I wish you all the best of luck in achieving your destiny. No doubt, it shall be for a great cause." Mata Nui says
"It is, Mata Nui. It is." Devon says
"Let Unity, Duty, and Destiny be your guides. Be well, be strong, care for this world and for each other. Farewell." Mata Nui says
Having said that, the light faded from the mask until it was the dimmest of glows. No one, except Devon and his friends knew that Mata Nui's spirit still lingered on inside the Mask of Life. And they knew they would see him again in the future as one of the Inheritor's greatest friends
Kiina caught the Mask of Life as it slowly fell to the ground. She stared at it in silence for a long time
"I always knew it would end one day. I never thought it would end like this. It's too soon, Ackar." Kiina says
"I think any time would have been too soon. I hope none of us ever have cause to regret what just happened." Ackar says
"No. Mata Nui was right. We will honor him, and all those who fought for him, in our memories. But the time has come to move on." Tahu says
Tahu reached out to Kiina. Kiina handed the mask to Tahu. The Toa of Fire cradled it in his hands, remembering all the victories and defeats, the arguments, and the moments of revelation. He recalled the times it seemed there was nowhere to go next, no way to solve a mystery, and how things would suddenly fall together and the way became clear. He thought about the Matoran villagers, whose curiosity could sometimes drive them to distraction but whose love for Mata Nui and for justice could never be questioned. It was the Matoran who lived to hear the tales of the past, and it was they who would keep those tales alive in the future
"Mata Nui's destiny is fulfilled, but for many of us, it has yet to be written. My friends, it is time to go." Tahu says holding the Mask of Life into the air
With that said, Tahu and the Toa along with the Glatorians began leading the Matoran and the Agori to the start of a new life on Spherus Magna. Devon and his friends stayed behind and watched them leave
"So this is it? It's over?" Luna asks
"Yes. I believe so. Our journey in Mata Nui's world is now over. But I think I know what happened soon after the Battle of Spherus Magna. Makuta must've somehow survived the battle and discovered other worlds outside his own. He then must've went on to conquer the entire universe and all the worlds that now exist. Destiny Islands, Berk, Avalar, all of them. He was reborn. He was given new life, new strength, new powers, and a new form. He was even given the power to wield a Keyblade of his own. A Keyblade of Pure Darkness. He became the Most Powerful Evil throughout the universe and throughout all existence, The Dark Lord of the Shadows. And that's where the Great Keyblade War began when he challenged The Inheritor and the Celestial Guardians. Makuta would not stop at nothing until the entire universe and all life would submit to his power." Devon says
"So all the things these people did here was for nothing?" Astrid asks
"No. Not for nothing. For hope. Hope for a brighter future. Mata Nui helped guide these people toward their destiny while he worked on accomplishing his own destiny. His destiny on Spherus Magna was over." Devon says
"But if Makuta somehow survived the battle, everything these people had gone through would have been in vain." Spyro says
"No. The battles. The victories. All the things these people have endured. We will not let them all be in vain. We're still here, fighting the darkness of Makuta's lingering shadows. We'll stop him. As long as we stay united just as the Toa and these people did, we will succeed. We will defeat Makuta and the Universe will finally know peace. This is our Duty. This is our Destiny." Devon says
Suddenly, a Keyhole appears in the sky. In that moment, Devon's Keyblade appears in his hand with a flash of light. The rune marks on Devon's Keyblade shines brightly. Pure aura envelopes Devon's body. Blue marking began to show all over Devon's clothes and body. The Kingdom Hearts sigil appears on Devon's chest and glowed blue. His Kingdom Hearts Amulet also glowed bright blue. The blue crystal orb on Devon's chest also glowed brightly. Devon closes his eyes and takes his Keyblade in both of his hands and holds it straight. A ball of light appears on the tip of the Keyblade. The environment around the group changes. Devon and his friends are transported to a corridor of light. A Keyhole appears in the sky. Devon takes his Keyblade and holds it vertically up to his face with his eyes still closed. Devon soon opens his eyes and held a determined look on his face. His eyes were now completely blue glowing with pure light. Devon twirls his Keyblade and points it at the Keyhole. Devon's Keyblade shoots a beam of light from it's tip toward the Keyhole. The Keyhole shines brightly and Devon and his friends were engulfed by the light
Author's Note: It's finally over. Devon's journey through the Bionicle Universe finally comes to a close. The battle of Spherus Magna is now over. Peace returns to the planet and Spherus Magna has been restored. But victory comes with a price. In restoring Spherus Magna back to it's former prosper, Mata Nui's body collapses having reached it's limit. Now the Toa, Matoran, Agori, and the Glatorians now have to move on without Mata Nui. Devon manages to piece together what happens soon after Spherus Magna has been restored. Makuta survived the battle and was reborn as a Keyblade Master of Darkness becoming the Dark Lord of the Shadows. Now, Devon and his friends know the truth behind the Dark Lord's Origins. And they now know more about Mata Nui and his world. Their journey in the Bionicle Universe is now over. But their fight with the Dark Lord of the Shadows and the Forces of Darkness is far from finished. Let me know what you guys think. No flames please. Hope you guys like and don't forget to review!
