Dark Faction

The Dark Faction is an organization of Makuta led by Spyrix.

History
The Dark Faction was formed by Makuta Spyrix to take over the universe as revenge against the Great Beings. They began by flattening several dozen islands to let it be known that they were not to be challenged. Then Spyrix ordered that they begin construction of a giant robot the size of Mata Nui.

The Great Beings heard of this and immediately created a team of extremely powerful Toa called the Toa Klywer. They were sent to destroy the Dark Faction. But by the time the Toa Klywer had been informed of their duty and trained (which took several hundred years), and Spyrix and the Dark Faction had already built an enormous city named Re'Klywer, the equivalent in both function, size, and placement of Metru Nui.

As the Toa Klywer set out to destroy the Dark Faction, they were met with a desolate frozen desert called Fe'Klwer, spanning thousands of miles. They encountered many obstacles, but finally arrived at the foot of the enormous robot, and as they entered they were attacked by thousands upon thousands of Atiar, the Re'Klywer equivalent of Matoran. The Atiar had elemental powers of their own, making it extremely difficult for the Toa Klywer to enter. But they Toa eventually defeated the Atiar and entered the city of Re'Klywer.

Once in the city, the Toa were attacked by countless Makuta of unknown origin. They were not informed of the sheer number of them. They were Defeated in a massive battle, and placed in Toa canisters, never to wake up. They were thrown to the bottom of the ocean, where they slept for thousands of years.

By this time the Toa Mata had been created, and the Dark Faction sent vicious Rahi to attack them in order for them to never discover the struggle the universe was locked in. The Atiar were sent to destroy Karda Nui, in the process destroying Mata Nui, but were stopped by the Order Of Mata Nui and most were killed. Then, just as Spyrix was entering the enormous robot body to take over the universe, Mata Nui himself crash landed during the Great Cataclysm and destroyed much of the robot, thus ruining his plan.

But the Great Cataclysm was only a setback, and the Dark Faction soon reformed and began searching for a new source of power for a robot to become nearly invincible. They soon heard of the orbs of Zyron and Zyren, and immediately set after them, soon to find that they were in the possession of someone they thought they had killed long ago: Toa Zelek, the most powerful member the Toa Klywer.

The Dark Faction arrived on the island of mya Nui, and they were met with the Toa Mya. They quickly established themselves as enemies by killing several of the Toa. Then started the War Before.
