Pirates Universe

"The Great Flood washed away a ton of Matoran Spheres. Right now, our mission is to find as much as we can and rescue them."

- Captain Vakama on the Lhikan's mission

The Pirates Universe is the unofficial name given to the dimension where instead of the Great Cataclysm, the Matoran Universe was devastated by the Great Flood. This causes the universe to become mainly a waterworld, with land being a rarity. As such, much of the inhabitants of this universe has become sailors, fishers, or the most notably, pirates.

History
The history of this universe occurred the same as the prime BIONICLE universe until Makuta Teridax's plan started its first major stage.

After Teridax put the Great Spirit Mata Nui to sleep, the Robot that held the Matoran Universe crash landed on the moon of Aqua Magna. Not only did a large earthquake hit upon impact, but a large breach in the robot's hull caused much of the water on Aqua Magna to seep in, drowning millions and leaving many places underwater. Some of these places became adapted to their conditions and lived in giant air bubbles. Those who managed to reach the surface created floating islands made out of debris or forged metalwork.

The Toa Metru, who had survived the Flood, has become renegades in this new world, as Skakdi, Makuta, and the dreaded Barraki ruled the new endless oceans. As such, the Toa are forced to become pirates and plunder various ships they came across for supplies on their ship, the Lhikan. With Vakama as their hook-handed captain, the Toa Metru search the submerged Universe for remaining Matoran Spheres.

As they hurry to accomplish this however, the loose Makuta Teridax is attempting to continue his plot to take over the Matoran Universe.

Trivia

 * The landscape of this universe is inspired by Waterworld and One Piece.
 * The inspiration for this concept came from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, One Piece, and the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
 * This universe first appeared in Brannigan and the Olmak.
 * BionicleChicken found this concept to be so awesome he decided it just needed its own article and to be a setting for future stories that take place in this universe.
 * The Toa Metru no longer follow much of the Toa Code, as they saw fit to change their ways as much as the world had changed.
 * Nokama is the most powerful of the Toa Metru because of her element. Due to her belief that Vakama was the true leader of the Toa Metru, she allowed him to take the role of captain/leader instead while she first mate.
