Paradise Universe

The Paradise Alternate Universe is a universe where Mata Nui crashed into Bota Magna, not Aqua Magna. The results for the inhabitants of the Matoran Universe were disastrous.

History
The history of the Paradise Universe runs in parallel to those of the core universe up until the Great Cataclysm. Following the Core War, the Great Beings created Mata Nui to explore the universe and return Spherus Magna to its former glory. As with the Core Universe, Makuta Teridax put Mata Nui into a deep sleep, causing him to crash down. Only in this universe, instead of crashing onto Aqua Magna, he crashed onto Bota Magna.

The results of hitting solid ground as oppose to water catastrophic. Mata Nui crashed down onto the planet, splitting a crack in the surface known as the Chasm. This chasm ran for 9 mios (7650 miles), thought the majority of that was taken up by Mata Nui's body. The impact destroyed the whole of Metru Nui, killing all the inhabitants, and caused massive damage throughout the rest of the universe too.

The only thing Mata Nui had power to do before he died was teleport the inhabitants of the universe, and resources such as Protodermis, Kanohi and tools, onto the surface. Unfortunately Mata Nui was not able to pick which individuals made it out. So many remained trapped inside his dying body and most of the Makuta made it out.

The War
Getting started

The majority of the inhabitants of the Matoran Universe ended up on one side of the Chasm, as did all but one Makuta. The inhabitants of the Matoran Universe were disorientated and confused, finding themselves on a strange, but beautiful new world. In the same way that the Makuta had been able to teleport Destral around the Matoran Universe, the Makuta managed to teleport Destral onto the surface of Boat Magna, giving them a huge advantage over the other beings. While the Toa, Matoran, and other inhabitants had to search for resources and build there own makeshift villages, the Makuta had everything they needed already.

Picking Sides

Very quickly the Makuta started attacking the makeshift villages constructed by the Matoran. The Order of Mata Nui retaliated by revealing themselves and taking many Toa into their army. The remaining species were forced to pick sides between the two opposing forces.

The majority of the Vortixx females joined the Order, though many of the males joined the Makuta. The main bulk of the Skakdi were taken advantage of by the Makuta, save for a few individuals who opposed the Makuta. The Dark Hunters, although reluctant to declare allegiance to either side, aided the Order. Several other species such as: Darkness', Amphibax's and Airwatcher's species joined the Makuta while several others joined the Order. It is known that at least 3 of the 6 prime species joined the Order.
