Toujours d'aussi belles images (qui si on regarde bien en bas à gauche de celle-ci, sont datée de Novembre 2009...), mais j'attends d'en arriver au combat entre les deux robot et le débarquement sur Bara Magna.
En fait il est prévu que le prochain comics, la suite du combat des robots, arrive vers Mars, donc ces 'chapitres' sont censé nous occuper d'ici là.

L'image, c'est Mata Nui (après le Fracassement de Spherus Magna et avant qu'il ne se fasse endormir) pendant qu'il faisait son boulot (observer les cultures et les planètes).
Le Bio code, c'est pour le chapitre 1 de Journey's End. Il parle de Mata Nui qui arrive à la forteresse des Grands Êtres (plus le temps passe et plus on nous remontre cet épisode : d'abord dans les comics, puis dans Mata Nui Saga, et là dans Journey's End... Mais bon, à chaque fois on a plus de détails).

Yaah puissant ! Ca veut dire que le "récit" d'Agnoince, c'étit un prologue. Bon, je commence un résumé tout de suite.
EDIT : Le chapitre (en spoiler pour pas faire trop gros) :
EDIT : Le chapitre (en spoiler pour pas faire trop gros) :
- Spoiler:
- A lone figure stood before an ancient fortress. His journey had been a long and treacherous
one. Now it seemed as if it had come to a sudden, and very frustrating, end.
The structure in front of him had no visible doors or windows. There was no sign that anyone
lived inside or had for years. However, the fresh footprints of an Agori nearby said this might be
the place. The answers he sought were inside, he was certain of it, but far less sure of how to
reach them.
His name was Mata Nui. Once, only mere months before, he could have reached down from the
heavens and torn the roof from the building. A complex array of sensors could have located the
Agori or any other person or object he sought from a world away. One stride could have carried
him many kios across the land.
That felt like a lifetime ago. Then, his mind and spirit lived inside a miracle of engineering,
towering some 40 million feet in the air. But he had been driven from that body and exiled to
the desert world of Bara Magna. If not for the power of the Mask of Life he wore, he wouldn’t
even have a body now. As it was, he was only a little over seven feet tall, vulnerable to pain and
hunger and thirst, and from removed from the power to shake worlds.
Seven feet tall, thought Mata Nui. I really hate being short.
Bara Magna had been a revelation to Mata Nui in many ways. He had found friends among the
Glatorian and Agori who lived here. He had been drawn into their struggle against the
marauding Skrall and bone hunters. He had even found proof that the Great Beings, his
creators, had once walked these sands.
Part of that evidence had been a coin found by an Agori scavenger named Berix. Made of a
metal said to have been mined to the north, the design on the coin’s face matched that of the
one on the Skrall shields. At first, it looked like just a bunch of interconnected lines. But as Mata
Nui learned more about this planet, particularly about the Great Beings and their works, he
realized the design was far more than decorative. It was not just artwork or a symbol of some
abstract concept. It was a map.
But, he wondered, a map of what?
That answer came courtesy of an Agori named Crotesius, who told him that he had been part of
a failed expedition to the north in search of the “Valley of the Maze.” He had returned without
finding it, but one of his companions, Tarduk, had left again to resume the search. Mata Nui
resolved to seek the valley and find out what might lie at the heart of the maze.
Now that mission had brought him here, to a fortress with no doors in the center of a vast
stone maze. After weeks of traveling and many dangers, here he was, confronted by yet
another mystery with no easy solution.
“By the Great Beings, I have had enough of this,” Mata Nui growled. His voice echoed off the
peaks all around.
Amazingly, there came an answer. The words came from the fortress, though there was no sign
of anyone to speak them. They floated through the air on a whisper so soft he almost missed it
over the sound of the breeze.
“What do you seek?”
Mata Nui took two quick strides forward and stared up at the fortress. “Entrance,” he said.
There was a long silence. Then the voice repeated, “What do you seek?”
“I wish to enter,” Mata Nui replied, more loudly. “But I see no way to do so.”
This time, the voice did not hesitate to respond. When it did, there was a trace of iron in its
tone, as if the speaker were losing patience.
“What do you seek? What is your burden? What brings you life, and death?”
So it’s not asking questions, thought Mata Nui. It’s posing riddles. This fortress, and the maze
that surrounds it, were designed to keep out anyone who might use the power of the Great
Beings for selfish reasons. So if I don’t give the right answers here …
He allowed himself to wonder if Tarduk had made it this far, and if so, had he given the wrong
answers? What, then? Had the Great Beings rigged traps to destroy potential intruders? Were
his creators really that ruthless?
What do I seek? It’s a very good question, he admitted. When I first came to Bara Magna, all I
wanted was to escape and save my people from the evil of my enemy, Makuta. I didn’t know
then that this place was tied to my origins. I didn’t know I might find answers here to questions I
had never asked.
Mata Nui sat down on the ground and stared at the stone walls of the fortress. He was going to
have to give this answer a lot of thought.
“Where is he?” Kiina asked. She was standing amid the dunes of the Bara Magna desert, her
eyes fixed on the northern mountains. “He should be back by now.”
Beside her, Ackar nodded. “Perhaps. But we’ve got no idea how far he had to travel, or what he
might have found.”
“Or what might have found him,” Kiina added, grimly. “We should have stayed with him, no
matter what he said.”
The two were warriors and Mata Nui’s closest friends. He had helped them free their villages
from the threat of the Skrall, but not stayed around for thanks. Shortly after the villages had
agreed to unite into one mega-city, Mata Nui had departed to track down the meaning of
Berix’s coin. Ackar and Kiina, accompanied by another warrior, Gresh, and Berix had gone with
him.
The way had been fraught with danger and the battles had been fierce. After Berix was badly
wounded, Mata Nui had insisted that the others turn back and return to the desert. Ackar had
argued that it was too perilous for Mata Nui to go on alone, but Mata Nui remained adamant.
“No, my friends,” he had said. “You are needed there, with your people. I have to find a way
back to mine.”
Now, weeks had passed with no sign of him. Ackar felt the same worries Kiina did, but saw no
reason to make her feel worse.
“We have to believe Mata Nui knows what he’s doing. It’s not the first time he’s gone off on his
own,” he reminded her. “Last time, it was to save your life.”
“Right,” said Kiina. “So I owe him … and I pay my debts. With or without you, I’m going after
him.”
Ackar knew there were some things on Bara Magna that one couldn’t argue with: an enraged
Skopio, a hungry swarm of scarabax beetles, and Kiina once she had her mind made up.
Besides, there came a point where being a true friend to Mata Nui meant not respecting his
wishes on everything.
“Okay,” he said. “I’ll get supplies. You find Gresh. He’s going to want to come too.”
Ackar started to turn away, but Kiina reached out to stop him. When he turned back to her, he
saw real fear in her eyes.
“Do you think he’s okay?” she asked. “I mean, he couldn’t be … you know … could he?”
“If anyone can come back out of those mountains in one piece, it’s Mata Nui,” Ackar answered.
“So let’s make sure we’re there to greet him.”
Mata Nui had been staring at the fortress for hours, rolling the questions around in his head. He
had moved on from trying to divine the correct answer to the first, and focused on the second.
What is my burden?
That was easy. He had left behind a universe full of beings that depended on him, Toa and
Matoran willing to sacrifice their own lives on his behalf. His carelessness had allowed evil to
usurp rule over his home and placed all those lives in jeopardy. Now here he was on Bara
Magna, with little clue how to make things right again, reduced to trying to figure out
maddening riddles. It was beyond frustrating. He had a duty to save his people, and he was
wasting time like –
Wait a minute, he thought. Duty … it’s duty that drives me on, the responsibility I feel for the
people of my universe. Duty is my burden!
Everything suddenly made sense. The Great Beings had taught him about three “virtues,” which
he and the Matoran he protected were to live by. They were unity, duty and destiny. If the
answer to the second question was duty, then perhaps …
Mata Nui rose. “I seek … unity!” he shouted.
“What is your burden?” the mysterious voice asked.
“Duty,” answered Mata Nui.
“What brings you life, and death?”
The same thing that brings it for everyone else, thought Mata Nui. “Destiny,” he said.
Before his eyes, the stone blocks in the center of the fortress seemed to soften and melt
together. A square gap about eight feet high appeared at the base of the building. Then the
stone became stone again, with a doorway now in place.
Mata Nui glanced at Click, the scarabax beetle who he had befriended on his arrival on Bara
Magna. It now rode on his shoulder, but did not look very happy about that fact just now.
“Looks like an invitation,” said Mata Nui. “What do you think?”
The beetle clicked its pincers together furiously, a clear sign of displeasure.
“That’s what I thought you’d say,” Mata Nui replied. “Well, sorry, old friend, we didn’t come all
this way to stand outside.”
Mata Nui entered the tower. He half-expected another maze inside, but it was quite the
opposite. A stairway leading down awaited him, but no other exit. Sword at the ready, he
descended the stairs.
They seemed to go on for days, winding around and around with no end in sight. Then Mata Nui
began to feel the heat, an overwhelming wave that almost staggered him. It grew worse the
further down he went, but he pressed on. There was, after all, no other choice.
When he finally reached bottom, it took him a moment to take in the incredible scene. A large
chamber stretched out before him, bare of any furniture. In the center of the floor was a pool
of lava, boiling, churning, and glowing red hot.
And hanging suspended above it, upside down and bound in chains, was Tarduk.

Bon, j'ai fini de traduire le second paragraphe, voilà la traduction :
« Où est-il ? » demanda Kiina. Elle se trouvait au milieu des dunes du désert de Bara Magna, ses yeux fixés sur les montagnes du Nord. « Il devrait déjà être de retour. »
A ses côtés, Ackar acquiesça. « Peut-être. Mais nous n'avons aucune idée de jusqu'à où il a dû voyager, ni de ce qu'il a dû trouver. »
« Où de ce qui a pu le trouver, » ajouta Kiina, sinistrement. « Nous aurions dû rester à ses côtés, peu importe ce qu'il a dit. »
Les deux étaient des guerriers et les plus proches amis de Mata Nui. Il les avait aidé à libérer leurs villages de la menace des Skrall, mais n'était pas resté pour être salué. Peu de temps après la décision des villages de s'unir pour ofrmer une immense cité, Mata Nui était partit pour aller chercher la signification de la pièce de Berix. Ackar et Kiina, accompagnés d'un autre guerrier, Gresh, et Berix, étaient partis avec lui.
Le chemin avait été bondé de dangers, et les batailles avaient été longues. Quand Berix fut gravement blessé, Mata Nui insista pour que les autres retournent dans le désert. Ackar avait affirmé qu'il était trop dangereux pour Mata Nui d'aller seul, mais Mata Nui était resté inflexible.
« Non, mes amis, » avait-il dit. « Vous êtes demandés, parmi vos peuples. Je doit trouver un moyen de parvenir au mien. »
Depuis, des semaines étaient passées sans un signe de lui. Ackar avait les mêmes inquiétudes que Kiina, mais ne voyait pas de raisons d'aggraver ses peurs.
« Nous devons croire que Mata Nui sait ce qu'il fait. Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'il s'en va de lui-même, » lui rappela-t-il. « La dernière fois, c'était pour sauver ta vie. »
« Bien, » lui dit Kiina. « Alors, j'ai une dette envers lui... Et je paie mes dettes. Avec ou sans toi, j'irai à sa poursuite. »
Ackar savait qu'il y avait certaines choses sur Bara Magna avec lesquelles on ne pouvait pas discuter : un Skopio enragé, un essaim de Scarabax affamés, et Kiina une fois qu'elle avait un but précis.
Par-delà, il se trouvait un point sur lequel être le vrai ami de Mata Nui signifiait ne pas respecter ses souhaits sur chaque point.
« Bien, » dit-il. « Je vais chercher des provisions. Tu vas chercher Gresh. Il va vouloir venir lui aussi. »
Ackar commença à s'en aller, mais Kiina se précipita pour l'arrêter. Quand il se retourna vers elle, il vit la peur dans ses yeux.
« Penses-tu qu'il va bien ? » demanda-t-elle. « Je veux dire... Ne pourrait-il pas être... tu sais... Pourrait-il l'être ? »
« S'il y a un seul être capable de ressortir de ces montagnes en un morceau, c'est bien Mata Nui, » répondit Ackar.
« Alors assurons-nous d'être prêts à l'accueillir. »
Si tu penses avoir moyen de finir le troisième, ce serait gentil de ta part de le faire, mais sinon tu peux toujours me le repasser.

§§§
Mata Nui était resté devant la forteresse pendant des heures, repassant les questions dans sa tête. Il s'était dépéché de deviner la bonne réponse à la première, et se concentra sur la seconde.
Quelle est ma charge ?
C'était facile. Il avait laissé derrière lui un univers plein d'êtres qui dépendaient de lui, des Toa et des Matoran prêts à sacrifier leurs propres vies en son nom. Sa négligence avait laissé le mal usurper les règles de sa maison et mettre toutes ces vies en danger. Maintenant il était sur Bara Magna, avec comme seul indice comment remettre les choses dans l'ordre, réduit à tenter de comprendre des énigmes exaspérantes. C'était plus que frustrant. Il avait le devoir de sauver son peuple, et il était en train de gâcher son temps comme-
Attends une minute, pensa-t-il. Le devoir... c'est le devoir qui me fait continuer, la responsabilité que j'ai envers le peuple de mon univers. Le devoir est ma charge !
Tout pris soudainement un sens. Les Grands Êtres lui avaient enseigné trois "vertues", selon lesquelles lui et les Matoran qu'il protégeait vivaient. Elles étaient union, devoir, et destinée. Si la réponse à la seconde question était devoir, peut-être que...
Mata Nui se leva. "Je dirais... l'union !" cria-t-il.
"Quelle est ta charge ?" demanda la voix mystérieuse.
"Le devoir", répondit Mata Nui.
"Qu'est-ce qui entraînes ta vie, et ta mort ?"
La même chose qui les entraîne pour chacun, pensa Mata Nui. "La destinée", dit-il.
Devant ses yeux, les blocs de pierre au centre de la forteresse semblaient se ramollir et fondre en même temps. Une ouverture carrée d'environ 2,40 mètres de hauteur apparut à la base du bâtiment. Puis la pierre redevint pierre, avec à la place une porte.
Mata Nui jeta un coup d'oeil à Click, le scarabax qui était devenu son ami à son arrivée sur Bara Magna. Il était en ce moment sur son épaule, mais n'avait pas l'air heureux de ce qui venait d'arriver.
"On dirait une invitation", dit Mata Nui. "Qu'en penses-tu ?"
Le scarabée claqua des pinces furieusement, un signe clair de mécontentment.
"Je me disais que tu allais dire ça", répondit Mata Nui. "Bien, désolé mon ami, nous n'avons pas fait tout ce chemin pour rester dehors."
Mata Nui entra dans la tour. Il s'était presque attendu à un autre labyrinthe à l'intérieur, mais c'était plutôt l'inverse.
Un escalier menant en bas l'attendait, sans autre issue. Avec son épée à sa portée, il descendit les escaliers.
Ils semblaient continuer pour des jours, tournant encore et encore sans fin visible. Puis Mata Nui commença à sentir la chaleur, une vague écrasante qui le fit presque suffoquer. Et cela empirait au fur et à mesure qu'il descendait, mais il continua. Il n'y avait, après tout, pas d'autre choix.
Quand il arriva finalement en bas, cela lui prit un moment pour comprendre l'incroyable scène. Une vaste chambre s'étendait devant lui, vide de tout meuble. Il y avait au centre du sol un bassin de lave, bouillant et rougeoyant.
Et suspendu au dessus, la tête en bas et attaché à des chaînes se trouvait Tarduk.
« Où est-il ? » demanda Kiina. Elle se trouvait au milieu des dunes du désert de Bara Magna, ses yeux fixés sur les montagnes du Nord. « Il devrait déjà être de retour. »
A ses côtés, Ackar acquiesça. « Peut-être. Mais nous n'avons aucune idée de jusqu'à où il a dû voyager, ni de ce qu'il a dû trouver. »
« Où de ce qui a pu le trouver, » ajouta Kiina, sinistrement. « Nous aurions dû rester à ses côtés, peu importe ce qu'il a dit. »
Les deux étaient des guerriers et les plus proches amis de Mata Nui. Il les avait aidé à libérer leurs villages de la menace des Skrall, mais n'était pas resté pour être salué. Peu de temps après la décision des villages de s'unir pour former une immense cité, Mata Nui était parti pour aller chercher la signification de la pièce de Berix. Ackar et Kiina, accompagnés d'un autre guerrier, Gresh, et Berix, étaient partis avec lui.
Le chemin avait été bondé de dangers, et les batailles avaient été longues. Quand Berix fut gravement blessé, Mata Nui insista pour que les autres retournent dans le désert. Ackar avait affirmé qu'il était trop dangereux pour Mata Nui d'aller seul, mais Mata Nui était resté inflexible.
« Non, mes amis, » avait-il dit. « Vous êtes demandés, parmi vos peuples. Je doit trouver un moyen de parvenir au mien. »
Depuis, des semaines étaient passées sans un signe de lui. Ackar avait les mêmes inquiétudes que Kiina, mais ne voyait pas de raisons d'aggraver ses peurs.
« Nous devons croire que Mata Nui sait ce qu'il fait. Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'il s'en va de lui-même, » lui rappela-t-il. « La dernière fois, c'était pour sauver ta vie. »
« Bien, » lui dit Kiina. « Alors, j'ai une dette envers lui... Et je paie mes dettes. Avec ou sans toi, j'irai à sa poursuite. »
Ackar savait qu'il y avait certaines choses sur Bara Magna avec lesquelles on ne pouvait pas discuter : un Skopio enragé, un essaim de Scarabax affamés, et Kiina une fois qu'elle avait un but précis.
Par-delà, il se trouvait un point sur lequel être le vrai ami de Mata Nui signifiait ne pas respecter ses souhaits sur chaque point.
« Bien, » dit-il. « Je vais chercher des provisions. Tu vas chercher Gresh. Il va vouloir venir lui aussi. »
Ackar commença à s'en aller, mais Kiina se précipita pour l'arrêter. Quand il se retourna vers elle, il vit la peur dans ses yeux.
« Penses-tu qu'il va bien ? » demanda-t-elle. « Je veux dire... Ne pourrait-il pas être... tu sais... Pourrait-il l'être ? »
« S'il y a un seul être capable de ressortir de ces montagnes en un morceau, c'est bien Mata Nui, » répondit Ackar.
« Alors assurons-nous d'être prêts à l'accueillir. »
§§§
Mata Nui était resté devant la forteresse pendant des heures, repassant les questions dans sa tête. Il s'était dépéché de deviner la bonne réponse à la première, et se concentra sur la seconde.
Quelle est ma charge ?
C'était facile. Il avait laissé derrière lui un univers plein d'êtres qui dépendaient de lui, des Toa et des Matoran prêts à sacrifier leurs propres vies en son nom. Sa négligence avait laissé le mal usurper les règles de sa maison et mettre toutes ces vies en danger. Maintenant il était sur Bara Magna, avec comme seul indice comment remettre les choses dans l'ordre, réduit à tenter de comprendre des énigmes exaspérantes. C'était plus que frustrant. Il avait le devoir de sauver son peuple, et il était en train de gâcher son temps comme-
Attends une minute, pensa-t-il. Le devoir... c'est le devoir qui me fait continuer, la responsabilité que j'ai envers le peuple de mon univers. Le devoir est ma charge !
Tout pris soudainement un sens. Les Grands Êtres lui avaient enseigné trois "vertues", selon lesquelles lui et les Matoran qu'il protégeait vivaient. Elles étaient union, devoir, et destinée. Si la réponse à la seconde question était devoir, peut-être que...
Mata Nui se leva. "Je dirais... l'union !" cria-t-il.
"Quelle est ta charge ?" demanda la voix mystérieuse.
"Le devoir", répondit Mata Nui.
"Qu'est-ce qui entraînes ta vie, et ta mort ?"
La même chose qui les entraîne pour chacun, pensa Mata Nui. "La destinée", dit-il.
Devant ses yeux, les blocs de pierre au centre de la forteresse semblaient se ramollir et fondre en même temps. Une ouverture carrée d'environ 2,40 mètres de hauteur apparut à la base du bâtiment. Puis la pierre redevint pierre, avec à la place une porte.
Mata Nui jeta un coup d'oeil à Click, le scarabax qui était devenu son ami à son arrivée sur Bara Magna. Il était en ce moment sur son épaule, mais n'avait pas l'air heureux de ce qui venait d'arriver.
"On dirait une invitation", dit Mata Nui. "Qu'en penses-tu ?"
Le scarabée claqua des pinces furieusement, un signe clair de mécontentment.
"Je me disais que tu allais dire ça", répondit Mata Nui. "Bien, désolé mon ami, nous n'avons pas fait tout ce chemin pour rester dehors."
Mata Nui entra dans la tour. Il s'était presque attendu à un autre labyrinthe à l'intérieur, mais c'était plutôt l'inverse.

merci pour vos traductions, en fait l'histoire se passe entre les deux BD, la dernière de 2009 et la première de 2010, mais vous pouvez m'expliquer ce que Tarduk fait, attaché et pendouillant au dessus d'un bassin de lave?
et pour le jeu, il est pas mal du tout pour un tower defence, pas trop compliqué et avec un bon design mais d'abord c'est vraiment chi*** de devoir tout recommencer quand tu perd, j'ai jamais aimé, et aussi le fait que tu peux te retrouver avec plusieurs du même perso sur le terrain, deux gresh par exemple, c'est incompréensible.

Y'a plus qu'a traduire.
- Spoiler:
“Help … me …” the Agori croaked.
“Hang on,” said Mata Nui. He took a few steps backward, broke into a run, and leaped toward
Tarduk. Catching hold of the chain, his momentum carried it and the Agori away from the lava.
When they were almost at the far wall, Mata Nui slashed through the links with his sword. The
chain snapped and he and Tarduk fell to the stone floor.
“I can’t … I can’t believe you did that,” gasped Tarduk. “I thought I was cooked.”
“What is this place?” asked Mata Nui, getting to his feet and helping Tarduk do the same.
“I don’t think you’d believe me if I told you,” the Agori replied. “But you can believe this: we’ve
got to get out of here, now!”
“You go,” said Mata Nui. “I came here for answers and I’m going to get them.”
A violent tremor shook the chamber. Gouts of lava shot up from the pool, raining down on the
stone floor and burning through the rock.
“The only answer you’ll get here is what happens after death,” said Tarduk, already running for
the door. “Come on!”
Mata Nui stood rooted to the floor for a moment. He had gone through so much to reach this
place, and now he was supposed to flee from it? But Tarduk was right, something very bad was
happening here. The stone all around was melting, but not from the heat. No, the structure was
shifting, turning into something else as he watched. If he didn’t move, and quickly, he would be
trapped here – so he ran.
Tarduk was already halfway up the stairs. When he reached the top, he dashed out the door
and up into the rocks. Mata Nui followed not long after. Both turned to see the entire tower
melting like a block of ice in the sun.
“Incredible,” said Tarduk.
Mata Nui said nothing. His attention was riveted on the scene before him. Something was ri sing
out of the ground beneath the tower, and the tower itself was sliding away as if to make room
for it. The first thing he saw was the molten lava, followed quickly by what looked like an entire
mountain pushing its way up from beneath the earth. It was an awe-inspiring sight – an actual
volcano, given birth in a matter of moments.
“Incredible isn’t the word,” muttered Mata Nui. “It’s impossible.”
Tarduk pointed up at the river of lava flowing slowly from the crater. “Looks pretty possible to
me. But what could cause it?”
Mata Nui gestured at the maze. “The same that caused all this – the Great Beings. That’s no
natural volcano.”
“How do you know?”
Mata Nui smiled. “Let’s just say I know something about volcanoes that aren’t really volcanoes,
and leave it at that. Stay here. I’m going in.”
“Into that?” Tarduk said, shocked. “You’ll be killed!”
“I don’t think so,” Mata Nui said, already walking toward the eruption. “I think I was meant to
go in there … or someone was.”
Ignoring the heat and the ominous rumbles coming from inside the mountain, Mata Nui began
to climb the slope. He hacked at the rock with his sword, trying to make an entrance. To his
surprise, the rock crumbled easily, to reveal smooth, polished metal underneath. He struck at
the gleaming metal, but his sword bounced off without leaving so much as a scratch.
Even more determined now, Mata Nui continued to chip away at the rock. After several
minutes, he had uncovered what appeared to be a hatch. Grasping the handle and pulling with
all his strength, he was able to force it open just wide enough for him to slip inside. Warning
Tarduk again to stay put, Mata Nui went into the volcano.
Mata Nui knew what the inside of a real volcano looked like. He had seen his share on hundreds
of worlds, some of which made Bara Magna seem like a little corner of paradise. They looked
nothing like what he was seeing now.
The inside of the “mountain” was a mass of pipes, conduits, and wires, all vibrating from a low
hum that filled the entire structure. It was so crowded that it took an effort for him to even
move ahead. The pipes were hot, no doubt from pumping the “lava” toward the top of the
edifice, where it could be disposed of. Efficient and deceptive, he thought, two hallmarks of the
Great Beings’ work.
Forcing his way through a nest of cables, he found himself in a small, open area. The first thing
he noticed were plans on the wall for a giant robot, the same plans he had earlier seen in a
cavern near the village of Tajun. Mata Nui smiled. He had been right. There were answers to be
found here, for there was a connection between here and the construction of his original body.
Next to the plans was a blank screen. Mata Nui reached out and brushed his fingertips against it
and it flared to life. A series of images flashed by at mind-numbing speed: schematics,
calculations, notes, details of design and construction. It all went so quickly it was impossible to
consciously focus on any one thing, yet Mata Nui could feel the knowledge flowing into his
mind just the same. It was overwhelming and painful, but he endured. This is what he had come
here for – this was his origin story.
He saw it all now. The early experiment that had failed, the one that resulted in robot pieces
scattered all over the Bara Magna desert; the discovery of protodermis, an artificial substance
that could exist in multiple forms, the key to the creation of his original body and the nanotech
that dwelled within it; and more, he saw why he had been created and for what purpose.
A conflict raged, a Core War over a substance Mata Nui recognized as energized protodermis.
Even the Great Beings were not sure of its properties, but the silvery liquid transformed or
destroyed whatever it touched. It was flowing up from inside the planet and the various tribes
all wanted to claim it. But tapping the power of the volatile substance would result, the Great
Beings discovered, in the destruction of the world.
When their efforts to end the war failed, they built a giant robot they called Mata Nui. His
purpose: to leave the planet before it shattered and travel the universe, gaining the knowledge
to prevent such a terrible war from happening again. After 100,000 years, the pieces of Spherus
Magna would be stable enough to be brought together once more. And that was why Mata Nui
truly existed – his mission was to undo the errors of his creators and to heal the world.
That’s it! That’s what I’m supposed to do, he exulted. My destiny is to recreate Spherus Magna
as it was before the Shattering … to make the three pieces of the planet one again.
Now it all became clear to him. He had been on his way back from his exploration of the
universe, heading for Bara Magna, when he was attacked from within by the evil Makuta.
Rendered unconscious, he crashed into the ocean of Aqua Magna. The impact had temporarily
damaged the memory core of the robot, causing him to forget his mission. Even when he was
reawakened by a band of heroes called Toa, he had been without purpose. Before he could
initiate self-repair and retrieve the knowledge he needed, Makuta had seized control of the
robot and exiled Mata Nui’s consciousness into space. By chance or design, he had ended up on
Bara Magna, his original destination.
He was armed with the knowledge he needed at last, but staggered by its implications as well.
To achieve his mission, he needed his original body, or something close to it. More, the task of
reconstructing the planet required the power of not one, but two robots.
There was supposed to be a second one, he realized. The Great Beings were supposed to build
another Mata Nui! But they never did … maybe the planet’s end came too fast, or maybe they
were killed. And … I can’t do my mission alone. I can’t do what I was created to do.
Mata Nui sank to the floor. For the first time in his existence, he felt truly defeated. The hope
he had held onto, even through his exile, was extinguished. Even if he got his old body back, he
couldn’t –
“What’s the matter?”
He turned at the sound. It was Tarduk, who had followed him in despite Mata Nui’s orders.
Being smaller and more agile, the Agori had had no trouble navigating through the jungle of
iron and wires.
Seeing no reason to keep it secret, Mata Nui laid out what he had learned. Tarduk listened
intently. When the tale was done, the Agori walked over and pointed up to the plans.
“I don’t know what you can do about your old, um, body,” he said. “But from what you said,
you already have a second one. It’s lying in the Bara Magna desert, isn’t it?”
Mata Nui nodded. “Yes, but it’s been dead for well over 100,000 years. It has no power, and
even when it was active, it was unstable.”
Tarduk frowned. “Not sure about stability, but as for power… what does this remind you of?”
Mata Nui looked around. Of course. He had been so caught up in learning about his past, and
then the overwhelming odds against achieving his mission, that he never realized.
The “volcano” was a power plant.
“The plans,” he said, rising. “That’s what was created here – the power source for my body!
And if they planned to build a second robot --”
“Then there might be a second power source,” finished Tarduk. “It’s worth searching for,
right?”
Chapitre 3 :
- Spoiler:
- Raanu, elder of the city, looked at Mata Nui as if his guest had just transformed into a sand bat.
“Ridiculous. Insane. Impossible!” he said, his voice rising. “How could you even ask such a
thing??”
Well, you couldn’t expect an enthusiastic yes, Mata Nui said to himself. You’re not just asking a
lot of these people … you’re asking everything of them.
Ackar, Kiina and Gresh shifted uncomfortably behind their friend. Mata Nui had explained what
he needed and why, but even to them it sounded bizarre, if not mad. But their faith in their
friend outweighed their doubts. If Mata Nui said he had to do this, then they would help in any
way they could.
Raanu looked at the three Glatorian in disbelief. “You stand with him. Don’t tell me you support
this … this … this lunacy?”
“We know how it sounds, believe me,” answered Ackar. “Still, Mata Nui has earned the right to
be heard, hasn’t he? Without him, we would all be slaves to the Skrall.”
“I don’t expect you to just take my word, Raanu,” said Mata Nui. “Let me show you what I’m
talking about. Please.”
Raanu wanted to snap, “No!” and throw these maniacs out of his chamber. If Mata Nui was
telling the truth, he didn’t really want to know it, because the consequences to the Agori could
be catastrophic. Yet if there were facts he was refusing to face, where would his honor be then?
Ackar was right: they all owed Mata Nui more than they could repay.
“Very well,” the elder said. “We’ll go now. But I make no promises.”
“I don’t ask for any,” Mata Nui assured him.
Less than an hour later, they were standing on the slope of a peak, looking down upon the city.
Not long ago, the tribes of Bara Magna had lived in individual villages, built around massive
metallic structures that dated from ancient times. After the war with the Skrall, it became
obvious that the best way for the Agori to defend themselves from future threats would be to
unite their villages into one giant. With enormous effort, they dragged the huge structures
across the desert and linked them together.
Mata Nui, Gresh, Berix, Kiina and Ackar were standing at this very spot when the pieces came
together. In shock, they saw that the shelters when assembled formed not just a city, but a
body – a gigantic robot body. Mata Nui couldn’t help but see the resemblance between it and
the body that had once been his.
Raanu had heard all the rumors about what the city looked like, most of them coming from
Berix. He had been too busy setting up a new government for the Agori and arranging defenses
against bone hunters and Vorox to worry about it. Now that he saw it, he couldn’t deny what it
appeared to be.
“Interesting,” Raanu said, as he looked down at his city. “Perhaps it was something the Great
Beings built – or tried to – ages ago. But what of it?”
“You’re right. They did create it,” Mata Nui replied. Even having seen it before, the image of the
robot body stretched out across the sand still shook him. “But something went wrong. It
exploded, raining parts all over the desert. And they stayed scattered until the Agori brought
them together again.”
“You haven’t answered my question,” Raanu said. “So it’s a failed experiment. It’s also our
home and our only protection against our enemies. What does it have to do with you?”
Mata Nui pointed down at the city. “I guess you could say it’s my … ancestor. I once had a body
much like that, before I came here. And if I am going to get it back again, I need t o … borrow …
that one.”
Raanu glared at Mata Nui, his eyes as hard as shards of volcanic rock. “We’re done here,” he
said. Without another word, he began the trek back down the mountain.
§ § §
That night, Mata Nui sat around a fire with Ackar and Gresh. The mood was somber.
“Are you sure you have to do this?” asked Gresh. “There’s no other way?”
Mata Nui never took his eyes from the flames. “I’ve told you about my universe and my people
how I failed them, how my enemy, Makuta, seized control of it. But there’s one thing I left out.”
“What do you mean?” asked Ackar. He had never heard this tone in Mata Nui’s voice before. It
worried him.
“One universe won’t be enough for him,” said Mata Nui. “Makuta is hungry. He’s waited tens of
thousands of years for the power he has now, and now that he has it …” His voice trailed off.
“We thought the Skrall couldn’t be beaten,” Ackar reminded him. “You showed us different.
Whatever force this Makuta commands – however big his army – he can’t be invulnerable.”
Mata Nui abruptly rose and stalked off from the fire. “You don’t understand! The power at his
fingertips … it’s the power I used to wield. I know what it can do. He could crush us all under an
armored heel and never notice, or sweep the entire city away with a gesture.”
He turned back to Ackar, a fierce intensity in his eyes. “Makuta could destroy this planet, before
any of us could raise a sword against him. Believe me.”
Gresh’s eyes widened. He looked at Mata Nui as if he had never seen him before. “You mean
you …?”
Mata Nui nodded. His voice dropped to a whisper. “Yes, Gresh. Before I came to Bara Magna, I
could do all that and more.”
“And did you?” asked Ackar.
“No,” replied Mata Nui. “That wasn’t why I was created.”
The only sound then was the crackling of the fire. After a few moments, Ackar walked up to
Mata Nui and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Hey. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in
myself. Anything I can do, just say the word.”
Ackar turned to Gresh. “How about you, kid?”
Gresh looked Mata Nui right in the eyes. “I’ve fought for the people here. All the Glatorian
have, and long before you ever got here, Mata Nui. We thought you were one of us, or at least
something close.”
“Gresh!” Ackar snapped.
“It’s all right,” said Mata Nui. “Let him have his say.”
“I’ll have my say, all right,” said Gresh. “Now you tell us you were some kind of – I don’t know
what – with more power in one finger than every warrior on this world put together. And you
say you want the city – that robot body – why? So you can have that power again? We didn’t
overthrow the Skrall so some armored giant could rule over us.”
“That’s enough,” said Ackar.
Mata Nui took his sword and offered it, hilt first, to Gresh. When he spoke, there was no anger
in his voice, but an almost frightening calm. “I’m not here to rule anyone. I’m trying to save
your people and mine. But if you can’t believe that, my friend, then take my weapon and lock
me in a cell. I won’t fight you.”
Gresh hesitated.
“Take it,” Mata Nui repeated.
Again, Gresh made no move to do so. Mata Nui finally put the sword back in its sheath. “Then
help me,” he said to Gresh. “Or else get out of my way.”
§ § §
Not far away, Raanu sat in his chamber, deep in thought. He had half-expected this day to come
ever since the villages had been united. After all, he knew far more about the Great Beings’
creations than anyone else suspected.
Once, Bara Magna had been part of a larger world called Spherus Magna. Then came the Core
War, a global conflict that resulted in the shattering of the planet. During the dark days of that
war, Raanu had briefly served the Great Beings as they attempted to stop the fighting.
It was during that time that he saw firsthand something the Great Beings were constructing. It
was a massive robot with the power to fly into space. At first, he thought that perhaps it was
intended to carry all the Agori away to safety. When it turned out that wasn’t the case, he
rejected it as just one more idle experiment by rulers who had lost touch with those they ruled.
In the struggle for survival after the Shattering, he had forgotten all about it.
Then Mata Nui arrived. He began to hear tales about his exile from another universe, his
knowledge of the Great Beings, and plans he had uncovered for a huge robot. Kiina said he
seemed to recognize them, and more, to have some connection to them. That was when Raanu
began to suspect there was more to this visitor than there at first seemed to be.
Now he knew. The “universe” Mata Nui had been exiled from was the body the Great Beings
had built – he didn’t know how or why such a thing could have happened, but then he never
understood the Great Beings’ science in the first place. Now Mata Nui wanted a new body to
replace his old one, even if that body was the city of the Agori.
Could he say no? After all, without Mata Nui, there would be no city. The Skrall would have
enslaved all the Agori, slain all the Glatorian, and hold Bara Magna in an iron grip. He couldn’t
deny it was Mata Nui’s heroism and inspiration that saved his people.
Yet, how could he say yes? With no city, the Agori would be little better than Vorox or bone
hunters, forced to survive in the harsh desert with little protection. And all for what? Mata Nui
acted like this was a matter of life or death, but never specified whose life and whose death he
was concerned about.
Raanu had consulted with the other Agori leaders and some of the other Glatorian. They had all
agreed that they would leave the decision up to him, confident he would choose the wisest
course.
The Agori rose to leave. He would have to talk to Mata Nui – he owed the warrior that much.
And he would have to prepared for whatever might happen, if he told Mata Nui no.
§ § §
Raanu found Ackar and Gresh just outside the city, near the ashes of a fire. They said Mata Nui
had gone off on his own into the desert. Ackar offered to accompany the Agori leader if he was
going to seek Mata Nui out, but Raanu said no. Torch in hand, he followed Mata Nui’s tracks
into the dunes.
He found the object of his search sitting on rock, staring up at the stars. Raanu decided to waste
no time. “I know who … and what … you are. At least, I think I do.”
Mata Nui glanced down at the sand, then at Raanu. “Then you should know that I was created
for a reason. I have a destiny to fulfill, and to do that, I need --”
“I know what you need,” Raanu said. “The Agori need it, too. Why are you more important than
they are?”
“Raanu, when I came here, I didn’t know where I was or why,” Mata Nui answered, his voice
low. “Now I have my answers. I know I am asking a lot of you, of all of you, but you have to
believe me. I’m here to help. Give me the tools to let me do that.”
“From what you’ve said, your own people believed in you, and it didn’t get them very far,” said
Raanu.
Mata Nui started to reply. Then he stiffened, his gaze locked on the stars again. “He’s coming.”
“Who?” asked Raanu, annoyed. “Don’t think you can trick me --”
“It’s no trick, you …,” said Mata Nui. He caught himself before saying something that might
insult the respected elder. “Can’t you see? Makuta has found me and he’s coming here. I can
sense it – I lived in the body he wears for 100,000 years – I can feel its approach. Raanu, I’m the
only one with a prayer of stopping him. You have to grant my request before it’s too late!”
Raanu had never felt the burden of leadership rest quite as heavy on his shoulders as it did right
now. It would be easy to dismiss Mata Nui as lying or insane and forget the whole thing. The
problem was he knew it would be an injustice. Mata Nui wasn’t crazy, or being deceitful, he
realized. The warrior was genuinely afraid for himself and Bara Magna. And if a being who
faced down an entire Skrall legion on his own felt fear, there had to be a good reason for it.
He almost could not believe the words that next came out of his mouth. He wasn’t aware of
making the decision. But once it was made, he knew that no other decision had been possible.
“Very well,” said Raanu. “I am putting the survival of my people into your hands, Mata Nui. I will
give you what you ask. But know this … betray us, and no suit of armor will protect you from my
revenge. That artificial body existed as shattered parts once before, and it can do so again.”
Before Mata Nui could say thank you, Raanu turned and walked back toward the city. “We will
begin the evacuation at dawn,” the Agori leader said over his shoulder. “Be ready.”
I have been ready for this since the moment I arrived here, thought Mata Nui. But the bigger
question is – am I ready for Makuta?
Chapitre 4 :
- Spoiler:
- Months had passed since Makuta seized power in Mata Nui’s universe, and yet he had still not
grown used to the energies that were now his to command. As he soared through the void of
space, heading for Bara Magna, he thought about how it all began.
The Makuta species had been created by Mata Nui. They were to live inside of Mata Nui’s then
massive robot body, serving his interests and protecting the nanotech workers called Matoran.
Their primary job was the creation of animals, fish, birds and insects, collectively called “Rahi,”
who would serve various purposes within the “universe” that existed inside Mata Nui.
Over time, the role of the Makuta changed. They became actively involved in protecting Mata
Nui from various internal threats, from races like the Barraki, the Skakdi, and others. To aid
them in this task, they created a species of armored warriors called Rahkshi. These lethal
creatures were made from the Makuta’s own substance and were loyal, fierce, and relentless in
battle.
The important responsibilities they had should have been enough for the Makuta. But from the
start, they were cursed with ambition. They looked around and saw the Matoran honoring
Mata Nui – the source of light, heat, and virtually everything else in their lives – and it
frustrated them. After all, it was the Makuta who had created the birds that filled the skies and
the fish that swam in the waters. Why did no one honor – or better still, worship – them?
Frustration led to anger, which led to thoughts of revenge. If the Matoran admired nothing
short of ultimate power, then the Makuta would seize that power and conquer their universe.
That meant turning against Mata Nui and bringing him down. The risks were enormous. If their
plan failed, Mata Nui would have no choice but to purge them. But if it succeeded …
Teridax, leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta, hatched a complex, multi-layered plot. It began
with the use of a virus to infect Mata Nui’s robotic systems. When the systems crashed, Mata
Nui lost consciousness and crashed into the waters of the planet Aqua Magna. Taking
advantage of the chaos, the Makuta attempted to seize power, only to be driven off by heroes
called Toa.
Defeat simply fed the Makuta’s ambitions. Teridax resolved that if he could not run the
universe in Mata Nui’s absence, he would become the universe. He would take control of the
gigantic robot body and leave the Toa, Matoran and other denizens no choice but to obey him.
It took 1000 years of patience, manipulation, and even a few feigned defeats for his plans to
come to fruition. Badly damaged by the crash, Mata Nui finally died. A Toa named Matoro,
wielding the Mask of Life, brought the robot back to life at the sacrifice of his own existence.
But before Mata Nui’s spirit could return to his body, Makuta’s consciousness took control of
the robot. Since no form could have two guiding spirits, Mata Nui now found himself barred
from his own body.
Teridax’s revenge wasn’t done. He destroyed the rest of the Brotherhood of Makuta to make
sure they could never recreate the virus that had downed Mata Nui. Then he forced Mata Nui’s
spirit into the Mask of Life and ejected the mask into outer space.
At the time, Teridax had been confident he had seen the last of Mata Nui. He thought surely the
mask would float endlessly through space, or be burned up by a sun, or shattered by an
asteroid. He was wrong.
Only days ago, he had managed to get all of the robot’s sensors working again. Immediately, he
detected the Mask of Life’s energies on another planet, a place identified by electronic records
as Bara Magna. If the mask still existed, then so did Mata Nui. This Teridax could not allow. Even
though it was doubtful Mata Nui could pose any threat, Teridax wouldn’t begin his conquest of
the greater universe with a potential enemy on the loose.
Mata Nui had to be destroyed.
Activating the jets built into the robot, Makuta rocketed into space toward a final showdown
with Mata Nui. It would be absurdly simple: land on the planet, crush the mask beneath his
armored foot, and perhaps some of the inhabitants too, for good measure. Bara Magna would
become a base from which to launch future attacks on other worlds, and its residents slave
labor and (if they were lucky) part of Makuta’s new army.
Makuta Teridax increased his speed. He was anxious to eliminate the last remnant of his past
and begin his glorious future. His strength was beyond compare, his power enough to destroy a
world, and his resolve like iron.
How could anyone stand against him?

Tahu, Toa of fire, was frustrated and furious.
Months had passed since he first learned that his universe – every land mass, ocean, even the
sky and the stars – were part of the interior of a giant mechanical being. Worse, he discovered
this after the universe had been taken over by Makuta.
Since then, he had led a rebellion against his now far more powerful enemy. But despite some
minor victories, he and his allies had been unable to truly harm Makuta. It ate at him. Here he
was, a Toa – a hero – created to protect the Matoran villagers from harm. Yet he and his
teammates had been unable to provide safety or security to any inhabitant of the universe.
Now they were scattered, fighting skirmishes against Makuta’s armored warriors, the Rahkshi,
and accomplishing nothing.
His frustration had only grown in the last few hours. He and Onua, Toa of earth, had prepared
an elaborate ambush for a dozen Rahkshi. Just as they were about to stumble into the trap, the
creatures turned around and silently departed.
“What happened?” snapped Tahu. “Did they spot the trap?”
Onua rose, watching the column of Rahkshi through narrowed eyes. “No,” he said, with
certainty. “Something else happened here, and I think we better find out what it was.”
Tahu spotted something, coming in low on the eastern horizon. It was a winged figure, one who
looked vaguely familiar even from far away. As the newcomer drew closer, he recognized her as
a member of the secretive Order of Mata Nui, skilled fighters dedicated to the cause of the
Great Spirit. They had been some of the most powerful warriors in the fight against Makuta, but
had also suffered terrible casualties in their ranks.
The winged female fluttered tattered wings as she hovered above the two Toa. “I’ve been sent
with a message. Rahkshi are on the move all over, heading south. No one knows why, but
they’re massing into an army.”
South? wondered Tahu. But there’s nothing down there. The lower part of the robot was a
scattered group of islands, largely uninhabited and of no strategic worth. Why would Makuta –
and it surely was his work – sending the Rahkshi there?
There was only one way to find out.
“Find as many other Toa as you can,” he told the Order agent. “Tell them we’re going in pursuit
of those Rahkshi.”
“Tahu, what if this is a trap? What if Makuta wants us to leave everyplace else defenseless?”
asked Onua.
“If Makuta wanted to destroy all of us, plus every Matoran, he could do it in an instant,” said
Tahu. “He doesn’t need tricks, not anymore. But if we can pen up his Rahkshi and wipe them
out, maybe we can slow down whatever he has planned.”
He looked back up at the flying figure. “Do it. Find whatever help you can. We have an
opportunity, and I’m not going to waste it.”

Nektann stood atop the ruins of a once great structure and watched the Rahkshi march past.
The armored “sons of Makuta” had been sent to the island of Zakaz to pacify its residents, the
Skakdi race. They had not been gentle in doing their job.
It was still shocking to realize that Zakaz and everything around it was not part of a world, but
just the insides of a giant robot. Nektann knew about being a warlord, but he was not an
engineer and did not comprehend how large machines worked. Wouldn’t each part of a
machine have to play a role? And if so, what was the role of the Skakdi?
His people had always been warriors, savage and brutal. Then a member of the Makuta race
came and changed them, tinkering with their nature and making them even more violent and
merciless. His goal had been to turn them into an army, but the result had been battle-crazed
fighters who destroyed their own cities in an all-out civil war. Other species had feared and
hated the Skakdi ever since, and the Skakdi had hated the Makuta.
Now a Makuta ran the entire machine, and things had changed. Nektann had been the first
Skakdi warlord to ally himself with the new power in the universe. The other members of his
species who objected to Makuta’s rule had been taken care of by the Rahkshi. And so Nektann’s
legion fell into line behind the marching Rahkshi, heading for boats that would carry them
south.
Nektann didn’t know what was waiting for him or his troops among the uninhabited islands, but
he did not hesitate to give the order to move out. After all, Makuta had promised them a new
world to conquer.
