Long War Universe

"How long have we been going at this? For years we've been constantly struggling against each other, going no where. I'm not denying the risks at stake or the threat they pose. But sometimes, I just sit and and think 'maybe we should let them win and it could finally end'"

- Pofiron The Long War Alternate Universe was an alternate timeline where the Battle of Bara Magna ended with critical damage to both the Matoran Universe and the Prototype robot, resulting in a prolonged conflict between the forces of Mata Nui and the forces of Makuta Teridax respectively.

Early Differences
While bearing a striking resemblance to the Core Universe at first, minor differences existed in this timeline. One major difference from the Core Universe was the lack of a proper destiny. No being was bound to do a certain action; they had complete free will. Because of this, Helryx, leader of the Order of Mata Nui, allowed Toa to join their ranks.

During the Reign of Shadows, the Order, with a much larger force of Toa, retaliated rather fiercely, making the fight much less one-sided. The vigor of the Order's resistance forced Teridax to cease his slaughter of his fellow Makuta, instead forcing them to fight for him.

On Bara Magna, everything remained rather the same. The one main divergence from the Core Universe, however, was the the effect of the Dreaming Plague. The death toll was significantly less, allowing the Iron Tribe to recover, at least to an extent. The surviving members relocated far away from their original settlement and resided there, barring itself from society. They did not participate in the Gladiatorial style social system the rest of the tribes had. They were only ever seen when they were trading supplies.

Main Point of Divergence
When the the Matoran Universe landed on Bara Magna, the fight for the planet begun. While Mata Nui, controlling the prototype robot, battled Teridax, the fight below was tilted in the favor of good. The forces the Order had gathered, as well as Tahu's possession of the Golden Armor, resulted in the decimation of Rahkshi forces. During the fight, Mata Nui had brought Aqua Magna and Bota Magna to Bara Magna, in attempts to restore Spherus Magna. When Aqua Magna came crashing down to Bara Magna's surface, the moon hit both the Prototype Robot and the Matoran Universe, causing them to crash to the ground as well, with the prototype laying on the Matoran Universe. Thankfully, most of the forces were fighting to the side of the robots. Still, casualties were considerable in size.
