Quest for the Masks

Quest for the Masks is a rewrite of the BIONICLE's first years told along the lines of a fantasy genre rather than science fantasy.

The story itself follows the Toa, six beings bestowed with elemental powers, as they fight to free the island of Mata Nui from the tyranny of Maktua.

The Legend of the BIONICLE
In a time, before time, the Great Spirit descended from the heavens to the earth. Carrying his children, the ones called Matoran, to the paradise he had created.

They were numerous, separate, and without purpose. So, the Great Spirit illuminated them with the Three Virtues: Unity, Duty, and Destiny.

They embraced these gifts from him, and name their home "Mata Nui" after the Great Spirit himself.

But their happiness was not to last.

For Mata Nui's brother, the Makuta, was jealous of the honors that the Great Spirit had received, and betrayed him. He cast a spell over Mata Nui, enthralling him into a dark slumber.

Without the Spirit protecting his home, Makuta was now free to unleash his shadows.

And unleash them, he did...

But Makuta's rule was not to last. For Mata Nui had created six, legendary heroes, to protect the Matoran in case such an event happened.

He imbued each of these Toa with a single power over the forces of nature, and gave them weapons and armor to channel their abilities.

These Toa rested in the ocean beyond the world, until such a time that they would be needed.

And with Makuta's coup successful, the Toa awoke from their rest, to save the island from the dark brother's tyranny once and for all...
