Bionicle: Memories of a Broken Toa: Prologue

Gathered friends. Listen again to our legend, of the Bionicle. In the time, before time, the great spirit descended from the heavens, carrying we, the ones called the matoran to this paradise. We were separate and without purpose, so the great spirit illuminated us with the three virtues, unity, duty, and destiny. We embraced these gifts, and in gratitude, named our island home, Mata-Nui, after the great spirit himself. But our happiness was not to last...for Mata-Nui's brother, the Makuta, was jealous of these honors, and betrayed him, casting a spell over Mata-Nui, who fell into a deep slumber. The Makuta was free to unleash his shadows...and unleash them, he did.

After the rahi, creatures native to our island, were possessed by corrupt masks, legends foretold the coming of six toa heroes, to protect us, and fight back the Makuta's forces.

When his plans failed, the Makuta unleashed the Bohrok, terrible creatures that would have destroyed us, if the toa had not been able to enter the protodermis, but they did, and returned to us as the toa Nuva.

After his Bohrok failed and the mask of light had been found, the Makuta released his sons, the Rahkshi to track down the harold of the seventh toa. Takua the chronicler. Who realized his destiny was to become the seventh toa, and defeat the Makuta. And so he did...awakening the great spirit.

It is now up to the seven toa, Tahu of fire, Gali of water, Lewa of air, Pohatu of stone, Kopaka of ice, Onua of earth, and Takanuva of light, to find the mask of life, and bring it to the shrine of Mata-Nui, for the great spirit to create a body for himself.
