Spherus Magna: AT

AT (After Teridax), also called ATD (After Teridax's Demise), is a period of time when the Matoran Universe and Spherus Magna inhabitants met each other. This is a time of violence, discrimination, war, and division. The Three Virtues are constantly tested during this time, and only become more strained over time

1 A.T.D. - Construction of New Atero

1 A.T.D. - The Murder of Tren Krom and Karzahni

2 A.T.D. - The disappearance of Kopaka and Pohatu
After going to the Red Star and not coming back, the Toa Nuva began to search for the Toa, hoping they perhaps made it back to the planet.

12 A.T.D. - Brutaka's Quest
Brutaka, whose Kanohi Olmak was damaged, began on a quest to make himself another mask. Still under the effects of being exposed to Teridax's Antidermis, Brutaka is beginning to go insane due to the substance speaking to him and attempting to help him with the mask's construction.

45 A.T.D. - The Toa's Arrival
Thousands of Toa Canisters are launched from the Red Star, all of them containing Toa and Matoran. These land across the surface of Spherus Magna. The Toa will have to find each other.

49 A.T.D., Month 2- Trinak meets Triuumbra
Trinak and Triuumbra finally meet. Triuumbra, a prototype Toa, is accompanied by a repaired Matoran from Karzahni, Taka. While the two begin with a fight and are reluctant to trust each other early on, their trust begins to grow.

50 A.T.D., Month 3 - Sheilo the Female De-Matoran
A strange De-Matoran appears in New Atero with an interesting weapon and mask, strange because the Matoran is a female, unlike the rest of the De-Matoran. Sheilo is also partially deaf.

52 A.T.D. - Brutaka Returns
Brutaka returns to the Prime Reality after two years of dimensional travel. He has become one with the Antidermis that speaks to him, allowing him to regain his sanity. He is told by the Antidermis to go to New Atero, which is currently almost as large as Metru Nui.

67 A.T.D. - New Atero is completed
With the help of Matoran and Agori, New Atero is completed. While it is still expanding, the bulk of the city is finished. While tensions between the two species are still high, it seems peace could come at any time.

Where the story begins
The story will begin at 90 A.T.D. The previous bit of history will be told through short stories and serials, each one focusing on different events in the timeline (Ex. Brutaka's Quest will chronicle his attempts to make the mask and his travels through the multiverse, along with his return, or "Menari", which will chronicle Trinak and Triuumbra's adventures, etc. etc.)

90 A.T.D. - The Toa Menari
The Toa Menari form, consisting of:

Trinak, Toa of Plantlife

Triuumbra, Proto-Toa of Fire

Chiara, Toa of Lightning

Orde, Toa of Psionics

Zaria, Toa of Iron

Koros, Toa of Plasma

Tiran, Toa of Gravity

Korush, Toa of Sonics

Vektar, Toa of Magnetism

The Toa Menari is a very large Toa Team consisting of mostly Secondary Element Toa, with the exception of Triuumbra, however he is a prototype. The name "Menari" came from the Matoran word for "Oddity", as each one is an oddity, Velara, Taka and Sheilo are honorary members, despite being a Vortixx and a couple of Matoran respectively.
 * Trinak lacks any of the color blue and is quite large for a Toa of Plantlife. He also has quite a temper compared to most beings that control plantlife. He also enjoys the water and heights, often being seen swimming or climbing over staying in the Jungle.
 * Triuumbra is a prototype Toa, the last of his breed
 * Chiara is a lone wolf
 * Orde is the only male Toa of Psionics
 * Zaria is a Toa of Iron who violated the Toa Code
 * Koros has issues controlling his power. As a result, he wears a Kanohi of his own creation: The Kanohi Kenshar, the Mask of Dampening. The mask dampens his power, which not only keeps him from realizing his full potential, but also keeps him stable. He can use his power, but it's severely weakened.
 * Tiran is a Toa of Gravity who sucked a group of Makuta into a black hole. While this killed the Makuta, multiple Matoran were also sucked in when he didn't close the hole in time. This caused him to leave his island in search of redemption.
 * Korush had a friend he was very close to. One day, he went mad after being exposed to the venom of a mysterious Rahi. Korush attempted to disorient him with sound, however he accidentally caused his molecular structure to weaken. This lead to his best friend dying a slow and painful death, eventually turning to dust.
 * Vektar also wears a Kanohi Kenshar because anything metal is attracted to him. Him and Koros are good friends, and while he can use his power, it is severely weakened. His mask is on at a low level, just enough to keep anything metal from attaching itself to him, but still allowing him to use his power.

91 A.T.D. - The Marendar attacks
The Marendar takes over a small drone designed by Taka for the defense of New Atero - An attempt to assist the Toa. The drone is quickly destroyed after it kills a random Toa of Ice and a few Matoran. It states its name, Merendar, before it died. It transfers its mind through the Great Being's Data Web. The Great Being, Angonce, arrives. Seeing the damage it has done and realizing it has transferred its consciousness through the Great Being Data Web, Angonce begins a quest to defeat The Marendar.

92 A.T.D. - The Hunt for the Marendar
The Marendar, now with a new, strong body, begins to grow an army. Velara, now on the side of the Toa Menari, is useless to him. He begins to take over old Great Being creations, like the Bohrok and the Baterra. He also creates his own creations, building a large army quickly. The Toa Menari and Toa Nuva begin a quest to move against The Marendar.

95 A.T.D. - The Marendar's defeat
After using the Toa's elemental powers against them, along with using its army to defeat the Toa, The Marendar appears to be victorious until Angonce, along with a group of 5 or so Great Beings, arrives on the scene. The Toa rise up and continue to fight, using the effects of their elements as weapons rather than using their elements directly (ex. Tahu heating the ground around the Marendar to make it molten, or Gali launching water into the wind made by Lewa to blind him, etc.) The Great Beings, with a new weapon made to defeat the Marendar, deliver the finishing blow, killing him and downloading his consciousness into the weapon. It is soon put into a safe place after all return to New Atero.

100 A.T.D - The Great Beings Arrive
After Angonce, Heremus, and three other Great Beings, Keiro, Natsu, and Kuntasho, defeat the Marendar, they return to New Atero. Here, other Great Beings have arrived. They realize the Matoran Universe's denizens didn't shut down and are sentient now. Angonce, Heremus, Keiro, Natsu, and Kuntasho are shocked to hear that the other Great Beings present at the time feel that the Matoran Universe's inhabitants should die. A debate begins among the Great Beings over whether the Matoran Universe's denizens are now living beings. Two sides are formed, one led by Angonce to defend the Matoran Universe lifeforms, and one claiming the Matoran Universe lifeforms aren't living creatures and are simply very advanced robots and should be shut down.

103 A.T.D. - The Great Being Debate
The Great Being debate causes more division among the Matoran and Agori. It also causes division among the Great Beings. This allows the Golden-Skinned Being to act and begin his conquest. The Toa Mahri arrive to warn the others about what he's doing, but it's too late. The Golden Skinned Being quickly takes New Atero. A resistance forms.

105 A.T.D. - The Golden-Skinned Being's Reign
The Golden Skinned Being, while realizing his subjects dreams, has gone corrupt with power. He begins to rule with an iron fist. This leads to The Golden Rebellion.

107 A.T.D. - The Golden Rebellion
The Toa Menari, Toa Mahri, and Toa Nuva team up with Angonce and his team to defeat the Golden Skinned Being. They track down The Shadowed One, and with him, Vezon. Vezon, no longer in possession of the Staff of Fusion, gets an idea. He uses his Olmak to open a door to the Mata Nui Robot's body, where they will journey to the remains of an unnamed island and claim the Mask of Fusion.

109 A.T.D. - The Golden-Skinned Being's Defeat
After claiming the Mask of Fusion, the Golden Rebellion moves against the Golden-Skinned being. With the Mask of Fusion, they separate the Golden-Skinned Being. The process is violent, however, and kills everyone who made up the Being.

110 A.T.D. - Taka begins learning how to build Matoran and Toa to avoid extinction of all species
As the Great Beings continue to debate, Taka realized the Toa and Matoran are critically endangered. He finds the corpses of multiple Matoran and Toa and studies them, eventually beginning to build more in secret alongside Triuumbra, who is also to keep it a secret.
