As a result of the GSR crashing Voya Nui was dislodged from the Southern Continent and shot though the vessel, forcing it onto the surface of Aqua Magna. This flooded Karda Nui and released Mutagen into the waters of AM, creating The new Pit. Mata Nui (island) was formed as part of a camouflage system built into the GSR. Energized Protodermis leaked onto the surface, terraforming it into the varied island we knew when BIONICLE first began.
