Mata Nui (Being)

Mata Nui was the former robotic structure of the Matoran Universe. Now, he's a ruler of Averax Magna with Skralla, and the father of Sakari.

Matoran Universe
Mata Nui was built by the Matoran with the assistance of the Great Beings on the Pre-Shattered Spherus Magna. But before he could take root of the universe, the Great Beings place an entity named Tren Krom in Karda Nui in order to maintain the universe. The Great Beings also place some Energized Protodermis within the body. Once the labor was done, the Great Spirit awakened and saw two small beings that watched in from a distance. He was tasked by the Great Beings to study other planets as well as keeping his own world stable which was located inside of him. Mata Nui left the planet to go on a journey across the Wall of Stars. The Matoran honored him with statues and temples within the Matoran Universe, keeping their faith to him.

Throughout his journey, Mata Nui created the Makuta species on a island in the Southern Island Chains. He also created six specialized beings that were meant to maintain peace in the Matoran Universe. They were dubbed, the Barraki. However, each of them had their own plans to rebel against the Great Spirit, but before they attempted, they were stopped by Teridax. But before he could punish them, a mysterious being named Botar took the Barraki away into a prison.

During the Matoran Civil War however, a massive battle took place in Metru Nui. As a result of the Matoran not working in maintaining the city, the Great Spirit fell ill, on the close of death. In response, a group of Toa, led by Jovan, went to the Southern Continent, in an region called Voya Nui to retrieve the Mask of Life. The team went to Karda Nui when one of the members used the Ignika and died, thus curing the Great Spirit. At that same moment, the Brotherhoood of Makuta successfully stopped the war in Metru Nui. As a result, the leader of the Makuta, Miserix assigned the members to watch a region within the universe. Not long after the war, a secret organization called the Order of Mata Nui took a number of Av-Matoran to various places in the Matoran Universe, while the Great Spirit himself created an event called the "Time Slip" in order for the Order to complete this task without causing any suspicion.

But the Brotherhood were inspired by the Barraki's plans to overthrow Mata Nui. Mutran discovered the secrets of the Matoran Universe from Tren Krom and with that knowledge, Teridax developed a plan to overthrow the Great Spirit. He eventually created a virus that would affect the Great Spirit harmfully by placing Mata Nui into a deep slumber. Teridax also used this chance to try to take over Metru Nui in order for his plans to unfold correctly.

Aqua Magna
Around 1,000 years ago, he was soaring across Aqua Magna when his body shut down, as a result of Teridax's implanted virus and damaging the city of Metru Nui. His impact on the planet created the Great Cataclysm in the Matoran Universe which resulted an island created, which was named after him. It also caused Voya Nui to break away from the Southern Continent, thus breaking his chest open and causing the water to flood his heart, Karda Nui. Also, the Energy Storms stopped in Karda Nui and several Stalactites fell and stabbed on the ground, resulting the Av-Matoran to live their new lives on top of Stalactites. The accident also erased some of his memories of his earlier life.

When it was revealed that Mata Nui was dying, the Toa Nuva traveled to Voya Nui on Aqua Magna by Toa Canisters, but the six Skakdi that were former members of Dark Hunters, dubbed the Piraka defeated them. Eventually six Matoran escaped Metru Nui to find the Toa Nuva, resulting themselves to become Toa as well. The Toa Inika found the Mask of Life after fierce battles against the Priaka and Vezon, but the Ignika escaped into the sea, heading towards a lost village named Mahri Nui. Once the Toa Nuva were rescued, they were sent by Axonn and Botar to find a scroll that provides instructions to prepare Mata Nui's reawakening. The Toa Inika followed the Mask of Life but the Ignika transformed them into the Toa Mahri in order to survive the waters of the sea. They fought against the Barraki and took the Matoran to safety to Voya Nui while Axonn brought them to the Nui Caves in order to send Voya Nui back to the Southern Continent. (This was a necessary action for the Matoran Universe in order to fix Mata Nui's injuries) The Toa Mahri managed to save his life, though it cost the life of Toa Matoro, but the Toa of Ice was willing to end his life so that he could live on.

The Toa Nuva completed the tasks that were on a scroll and reunited in Daxia. After, they were sent to Artakha to meet its ruler to acquire the Adaptive Armor. Artakha sent them to Karda Nui in order to prepare for the reawakening. Half of the team stayed in the sky while the other half went down towards the swamp in order to find the Ignika and clues to awaken Mata Nui. Once they awakened the Great Spirit's body, Teridax claimed control of the body and the entire universe inside. Using his new powers, he cast Mata Nui into the Ignika and hurled him into the Wall of Stars, promising to the citizens that he will be unable to return and that a new era of darkness would begin. Mata Nui vowed to himself that he would find his way back, no matter what it would take.

Exile to Bara Magna
Once the former Great Spirit crashed onto Bara Magna with the Ignika, the Mask of Life created its own body for him. He then saw a group of beings that were following him. Each of them grew curious about his new arrival. He introduced to himself to the group, naming himself Toa Mata Nui. Another being came up to him, named Skralla, who told him about her quest to find the Ten Crystals. Mata Nui wanted to find his way back home, but the situation here was awfully important as well, so he agreed to stay. The group continued on Skralla's quest for the Ten Crystals, however at some point, they were ambushed and fell unconscious. Mata Nui and the other woke up in an abandoned fortress, home to a secret organization between Ackar, Vastus, Gelu, and Kiina. In a deal, Mata Nui would stay and help them fight against the Skrall while in return, they would help them find his way home. Then they all set forth to gather all of the Glatorian from the tribes, including the Sand Tribe with Malum, though Skralla had skeptical thoughts about the exile.

Once everyone was prepared, the armies assaulted Roxtus, trying to stop the Skrall from taking over. While Skralla confronted her father, Mata Nui fought a warrior Skrall, but the two fell in a chasm that led to a prison where Belirax was kept. Mata Nui freed that female Skrall and the two went to find Skralla. They found her struggling using her staff's powers to set the throne that controlled Tuma's emotions free from its shadows. Together, the three concentrated and the throne lost its grip on the darkness, thus the Skrall's plans to take over Bara Magna have been stopped at last.

Mata Nui and the others celebrated this victory in Atero, with the Skrall at last freed from their evil thoughts, it seemed that everything would be alright and that he could continue his journey to reclaim his world. However, an invasion from another dimension appeared and stole Skralla's necklace. Without the powers, and in the wrong hands, a spread of shadows began to cover the skies, counting down to an uncertain future.

Dimensional Voyages
It was later revealed that the only way to find and reclaim the necklace is that Skralla must journey through worlds, via the Throne that Tuma used while he ruled the Skrall. Mata Nui was chosen by Skralla, along with Kiina, Strakk, Malum, Vastus, and Stronius to go on the quest. Together, the seven activated the throne and disappeared into the first alternate dimension.

Empire of Icarax Alternate Universe 

The group arrived in this dimension, basically the Matoran Universe but with an alternate timeline of its own. Mata Nui and Vastus were the first to awaken and discovered that a Matoran named Hahli was panicking through the woods. The Ga-Matoran stopped after seeing them and asked who they were. When Mata Nui introduced to himself, Hahli didn't believe him because she thought that a Great Spirit would not be a Toa. Nether the less, she lead them to a secret hideout where her friends were residing in. Along the way, she explained how everything went wrong in this universe. From what he learned, it appears that Icarax seemed to defeat Teridax's plans and killed the remaining members of the Brotherhood in order to start his own empire. Then the Makuta used Manas Crabs to attack various places such as the Northern Continent. With that, a large fortress was built on the Tren Krom Peninsula of that continent. Eventually, the other Glatorian found them as they arrived at a massive cave. Together, the group managed to get inside before the Manas Crabs attacked them.

After the Glatorain explained to the Matoran about their journey, the Toa Nuva arrived, asking them if they knew the location of Daxia. Despite the confusion, the Glatorian made an alliance with them, since the Toa Nuva know someone that could help the Glatorian escape to another world. They left on the ships, heading to the south, passing by the Southern Continent, and arrived in Daxia by sunrise. Upon arriving in the fortress, Helryx asked the Glatorian to come in while she sent the Toa Nuva to guard the fortress outside. After a brief conversation, Brutaka came in, badly injured, stating that the Visorak has come to invade the island. He quickly used his Olmak to send the group back to the Tren Krom Peninsula in search of the throne. Mata Nui and the others ran as quickly as they could, only being stopped by Icarax. The Makuta tried to attack Mata Nui but upon touching the Ignika, his antidermis began to fuse together, thus devolving his body. As he screamed in pain, Mata Nui and the others managed to reach to the throne and disappeared to the next world.

The Kingdom Alternate Universe

Spherus Magna's Rebirth
Coming Soon...

Averax Magna
A month later, Mata Nui returned with the Great Beings. He went up north towards the Northern Frost in order to disable his body. The Great Beings brought the Matoran, Toa and other species towards the future village of Averax Magna while he went out to find Skralla. He used the Ignika once more to resume his "toa form" and found Skralla sitting on the shorelines of Aqua Magna. Skralla took him to Averax Magna where they became rulers of this new kingdom.

A few years later, Skralla gave birth to Sakari, the future princess of Averax Magna. As he and Skralla celebrated Sakari's birth, Belirax and Kiina visited them and told them about the unusual behaviors that the Rahi and Creatures were acting. Mata Nui thought that it might have to do with Miserix, since that Makuta was the only one left. Later, he and Skralla brought Sakari with them to visit Tuma, who wanted to see the baby. As they talked, Skralla collapsed after she saw a dangerous vision about Sakari in grave danger. Mata Nui took her to one of the Healing Centers and found Gaaki. He asked her if she could check her and see what was wrong. Gaaki used her mask and discovered a dark truth; Sakari was getting captured by a stranger and a storm of shadows would invade the kingdom if no action was taken.

Once Skralla returned to the Averax Palace, the two talked to Agarax by asking if he was able to relocate Sakari. Once he successfully found her, Mata Nui joined Skralla into the land of dreams to meet Sakari for the first time since his disappearance. After a brief talk, he returned to the main world and asked Belirax to retrieve the mask of time. Once he got it, he hid it for a while until the time was coming for the mask to be used.

Before Garaxial sent his Shadow Entities to invade the kingdom, he and Skralla sent Agarax and Belirax to meet up with Sakari, telling them to take care of her. Once they left, they went to a vast chamber beneath the palace and activated the mask of time. They sacrificed the last of their powers to create a series of time barriers to block the shadows. However, the usage of the mask caused them to be trapped inside the Vahi as well as their time being turned back.

Family Reunion
Sakari, (who turned out to be the Clone Sakura) used her power of the wings with the other Sakura to free Mata Nui and Skralla from the Vahi while the others tried to stop Garaxial from completing his plans. The combined powers freed Sakari's parents from the Vahi and bringing the world back.

Mata Nui and Skralla found their daughter with her other allies in the Grand Hall. Sakari ran up to them, filled with tears of joy as she was finally home. The group went outside of the palace as they heard the cheers from the Glatorian, Toa and everyone that fought the great battle.

The next day, Mata Nui talked to Erax, asking if he could sacrifice his compass in order to bring back his memories. He did and as a result, he saw his past and rediscovered his times on Spherus Magna. Later, he joined the family during the funeral ceremony to honor Belirax, Agarax and the Light Garaxial.

By sundown, he stood outside of the kingdom with Skralla, Sakari and a few other Glatorian, saying good-bye to the Tsubasa Team as they departed to Clow Country. With that, he walked back to the palace with his reunited family, carrying a smile on his face.

Personality, Traits, and Abilities
Mata Nui was often detached from any critical events that occurred inside of his body, which was a weakness that Teridax used against him. However, after Skralla revealed her feelings to him, he started a relationship with her and had the same thoughts about her. Their love brought back their kingdoms and united them together to create a kingdom in which almost all of the Matoran Universe's and Spherus Magna's reside

Matoran Universe
The body that housed the Matoran Universe is around 40 Million Feet tall (12,000 Km). Mata Nui controls various elements inside such as light, heat, gravity, and destiny. However, if places like Metru Nui are not at constant work, he would fall ill and most likely die unless if the Ignika is used. Althought the Matoran kept their faith in him, Mata Nui was often not paying close attention as he was "too busy" to do other tasks. This was a weakness that Teridax used agasint him in order to proceed his plans to take over his body. After the Matoran and other species left the Matoran Universe and migrated to Averax Magna, the body was put away by the Great Beings and Mata Nui resumed his "toa-sized" form with the Ignika.

Toa
After being exiled from the Matoran Universe, Mata Nui wears the Ignika since his spirit was cast inside. He used the Ignika to create his new body, though it's only around 7 Feet tall. A Scarabax Beetle was watching his arrival with curiosity. The beetle, named "Click", came up to him and wanted to touch the Ignika. After touching it, the Scarabax transformed into the Scarab Shield, with the ability to transform back and forth. Mata Nui also carried a sword, made from a Vorox's tail, though the Ignika modified it during a battle. He later added additions to the sword during the times in Averax Magna, by adding some additional powers.
