#the sword wasnt a part of her plan and only lead to her downfall.

[axelbro17]

The story begins a few million years after the formation of Spherus Magna.

Inside the remnants of the great being robot, Makuta planted two canisters with his creations, two engineers that were made with the purpose of rebuilding the Makuta empire and rule the universe in the name of Teridax. Their name were Mysterio and Magnuros. Mysterio was a noble warrior that believed in inter-species equality and peace through unity, while Magnuros was a Tyrannic gladiator that believed in peace through tyranny and opression.

Mysterio was naive enough not to suspect his brother of any dark and devious plans. They both created 9 makuta together in the following order.

Zerkon(the prototype and most unstable mentally, sociopathic tendencies, considered to be the most dangerous)

Zinus(Zerkon's twin brother, calm and collected, could generate chains from inside his arms in a Spider-Man fashion)

Taknor(A brilliant scientist that has a bigger ego than himself, he granted himself powers by constantly upgrading his biomechanical body)

Voltrax(a honorable swordsman that believed in honor to the end)

Mesanok(A mutant with unstable powers, his right half was red and had explosive powers, his left half was green and could produce flamable acid)

"D'compose"(he was able to regenerate at a subatomic level and at a fast pace)

Xenoth(two headed and super strong) Rekan(much like Umbra , his feet had wheels that granted him super stregth

and Arana(the only female of the group, considered the weakest).

Mysterio eventually overheard his plan and decided to act against it by talking to the Great Spirit himself, being blessed with Teridax' Krahkaan, he was able to sneak inside the OoMN's Vault, without being detected. He communicated with Mata nui and was granted 8 elemental stones to create a new generation of toa.

Lancelot-Captain of the Ta-koro guard, born to be a warrior(Toa of Fire)

Sentinel-former archeologist, an advanced matoran prototype created by Arthaka himself(Toa of Iron)

Botan:former musician of the Le-koro choir, a treehugger at heart(Toa of Plantlife)

Korax: Chief Medical officer of the Ko-koro medical institute, he gained the ability to fly once turned into a toa in order to provide quicker medical assistance on the field(Toa of Ice)

Nidalee: she was a former Po-koro athlete with incredible fighting skills(Po-Koro)

Horvath: worked as an archer for the Ko-Koro defense team, incredible accuracy and calm under tough situations(Toa of Ice)

Luxanna: a biology teacher in Ga-koro, she admired Nokama's work and dreamed about becoming a toa herself someday , even though her kindness might give her a disadvantage.(Toa of water).

Suletu:probably the most loveable Le-koran, He used to be a bartender, very sociable and loyal to his people.(Toa of air)

On the course of 1 year he trained them to become warriors in every sort of the way. The OoMN lead by Helryx welcomed Mysterio and the new toa as their protectors.In the meantime, Magnuros assasinated Zerkon by shooting him in the back of the head since he became too self-aware and intelligent to manipulate, and disposed of his body by sending it to the southest continent.

Mysterio did however have an asset in the Makuta team, Arana has been secretly providing information about the grand return of the Makuta empire and the day of the attack

Everything went downhill in their clash. Half the toa team mysteriously(Horvath,Suletu,Luxanna and Sentinel) vanquished, the makuta were close to winning , the remaining 4 and Mysterio could barely hold eachother up. As Magnuros was about to shoot his brother down , Arana jumped in and took the blow full-on, dying on impact.That gave Mysterio the chance to strike by unleashing the demonic powers of his mask, leaving his older brother almost done for.

Magnuros: are you not going to finish what you started brother? Isn't this what you wanted

Mysterio: the universe is said to be impartial and in balance, however it always picks the good side of the spectrum...even if you think you are victorious....the universe will make it short-lived, farewell...until we meet again.

He left the makuta lair carrying Arana's body,followed by his remaining team, a scene that would haunt Magnetron for the rest of his existence.

Later on, after celebrating the bittersweet victory against the Makuta, The Great Spirit rewarded Mysterio's noble soul by rebuilding him into a Toa of Shadows because "Even Darkness, can create a path of Light"-MN-2011 years ASM(After Spherus Magna)

In the makuta lair, as Magnuros is recovering after the battle, his second in command welcomes his Fallen leader

Taknor:"You fought bravely my Lord, you've put quite a show"

Magnuros:"I do not need your pitty Taknor....It's time for things to change around here"

Taknor: "I'm glad we can agree...this will make things so much easier for me" *He takes Magnetron's sword and impales it's bearer owner right in the chest and through the Throne"

Magnuros: hanghh! W-what have you..done?!

Taknor: my maker...you are weak, you gave birth to such unique and twisted creations....but you...you are not worthy of leading our kind to Victory...I will not allow failure...for I shall take command of my brothers....

During the following 4 years, The OoMN created a task force lead by Sergeant Curanos Peddlestick, Super soldiers created from matoran volunteers with the purpose of becoming law enforcers and military teams for their Toa Generals , seeing as there aren't enough Toa to defend the whole matoran population(pretty much a Jedi-Clone Troopers relationship)

Although one of them wasnt that keen on Taking orders from toa, that being Vespirion , Lance's lieutenant. He became power hungry, so he decided to steal the mask of life and use it for "The greater good". However, the mask sensed his villanous tendencies and mutated him into a horrifying monster, able to control soundwaves and generate sonic pulses(since he was originally a matoran of sonics before recruitment). Not only that but the mask's power burst created a shockwave that spread over a radius of 1000 miles. So far it is yet unknown if it caused any damage. Sergeant Curanos spotted Vespirion and took him head on.

Serge: "you bit more than yer teeth could nibble on, ain't it lad?Look what greed brings ya. Yer mammy not gonna love that face , but don't'cha worry, after I'm done kicking yer bum, she won't even recognise ya"

The fight lasted quite a fair bit, until Serge gave him the final blow, Vespirion however managed to flee, despite his bad state.

After this incident, Helryx makes a disturbing statement: "To whoever decides to rebel against my will for peace, shall suffer grace consequences, today one of our most trusted soldiers became one of our greatest enemy, thus I want him to face justice accordingly. Once we find him, he shall be executed for his crimes"

The matoran society became disgusted by their supposed protector , claims such as "We are safe from others but not from her" and "Our Guardian is also our Executioner" sprouted an outrage , thus a lot of digging lead to exposing a lot of Helryx's shady acts during her time as head leader of the OoMN. The matoran demanded the choice of a new leader to go against her corruptive and manipulative ways. Thus the OoMN unanimously voted in favour of Mysterio as their leader due to his acts of bravery , selflessness and code of honor. Helryx was then exiled from the Matorans' land and found shelter on Arthaka's new island.

Later on , The Shadowed one sent a letter towards Taknor and the Makuta Brotherhood "I have a business Proposition for you and your Makuta, meet me at the coordinations on the back of the letter so we can discuss like two civilised beings". Of course, Taknor agreed to meet him, the location however was the Fortress of Odina itself(The new fortress got named after the island they were back in the days of the Matoran universe). However the meeting didn't go as well planned.

Taknor: "how could you possibly believe that we'd be interested in collaborating with low-lives like you, you are nothing but Spineless mercenaries"

Tso:"You dare insult me...right under the roof of my home, the place I welcomed you in as if you were part of our beautiful family, and you step on my generosity as if it were a rodent! Here's my current business proposition... I challenge you to fight me....If you win, this entire place and every non-living thing is all yours, but ....If I win.....all of you shall become my property....what do you say? 7 Makuta, against poor old me and 6 of my strongest Darkhunters..."

Taknor: "you've got a deal merchant..."

Unfortunately for Taknor, his cocky attitude ended up being his downfall. One by one his makuta were being heavily wounded by their Dark Hunter challengers. Taknor took a serious beating, Broken bones, massive open wounds, his right hand completely chopped off, he was the last one standing.

Tso:"I'm ready to claim my prize Taknor...I want to celebrate already...Quite admirable, you trully are the strongest amongst them...that's good enough for me, you'd make a great asset....Darkhunters, we have our Prize....Kill them all..."

Taknor:"I will not allow you to do such thing to my brothers! I will not stop fighting!"

Tso:"....but Spare Taknor....He is one of us now.....He will learn the hard way about how actions have consequences..."*with a quick swing of his staff , he knocks Taknor off his feet*"I want him fixed by tomorrow...His discipline lessons need no further delay"

As Taknor helplessly witnessed the execution of his brothers, He sworn to himself, that he will defeat his new Master and claim his empire for himself.

*on the course of this current year, a few more Darkhunters join the Darkhunter Legion*

Darkhunters so far :

-Daxidous

-Gazestealer

-Larsika

-Pelgrax

-Pincer

-Screecher

-Taknor

-Tetra

-Tyrannus

-Vespirion(found, repaired and recruited)

-Virus

With his men and women ready , Tso started the first phase of his plan to conquer the industry of Spherus Magna, that being "Intimidation". He sent his most trusted darkhunters to send havoc among 5 of the 6 regions of the new Island of Mata nui:

-"Screecher"-Bombed Le-koro with zamor spheres

-Pelgrax-Flooded Po-koro with his water powers

-Tetra-Sunk Ga-Koro with her brute strength

-Daxiodus- caused an avalanche over Ko-koro

-Vespirion- created a sonic pulse that collapsed Onu-koro's entire cave system.

They are known as the ,Darkhunter Justice Division"(DhJD for short)- this group, comprised of the most loyal hunters of the Shadowed one were trained to be capable of disposing of any darkhunters that turn or intend to turn against their leader, either through Rebellion,Lack of loyalty and beliefs of any kind.

Although the plan was a success, not all of them came back. During his Mission, Vespirion was directly confronted by his arch enemy, Sergeant Curanos Peddlestick and didn't make it out alive. Vespirion's lifeless body was found at the blocked entrace of the cave system.

The next day was to be the second phase of the plan, to slowly make the Matoran, toa and OoMN lose faith, the "Assault on Ta-koro" , where the Mask of Light is kept safe since Takanuva's passing into the afterlife.

Luckily the toa predicted their next move , so they gathered all in Ta-koro, together with their troops and Serge. But not even their assumptions were good enough, even though they had a strong number, that didn't help them.

The Darkhunters came well armed, plowing through their defenses with ease. As the toa and troops kept fighting , Tso kept making his way up to the tower. Right when the Darkhunters seemed to lose, a new face showed up , a darkhunter no one has seen before, he was very skilled, strong and vicious. He easily cut down the dozens of soldiers until he came face to face with The Sergeant himself, unfortunately, not even his years of military service kept him safe. Once he was weakened, the Darkhunter raised his wrist blade and with one fell swoop, cut his right forearm and right lower leg.

???: I have to admit full of regrer.. Sergeant...I expected a better fight

Serge: Tell me mistah smarty pants, who be the sonovabohrok Standing in front of me eye?

Scourge: I am Scourge, and my face is the last thing you'll ever see my Illiterate yet charming friend...

However two troops interfered , getting badly wounded by one of Scourge's landmines, giving Serge the time to shoot a harpoon that got it's rope tangled up on Scourge's foot sending him away at a safe distance. They both knew it won't be their last encounter. Scourge kept fighting until he got face to face with Mysterio, he was about to overpower the toa of shadows until a trooper pushed him out of harm's way, which sadly ended in the soldier's forearms getting severed  completely off.

Scourge:"This loyalty is admirable but that won't make me forgive you for what you've just done..."

In the meantime, Lance and Tso are having a serious beat down over the mask of light. Both are heavily wounded, most notably , Tso's tail has been completely ripped off by Lance's bare hands and sheer strength. And Lance has a big stab wound in his chest.

Tso: you have nowhere else to go toa...surrender the mask and I might let you leave

Lance: "I am a warrior till the end, but a repulsive creature like you Shadowed one is too low for that word...only someone as dishonorable as you would use their people for monetary gain...you did that with your own species...you enslaved the Steltians and killed your only friend..."

Tso: "<<Ancient>> had a painless death, you however will not!"

The shadowed one blows a hole in Lance's chest, making him loose balance and blood, he leans over the edge of the tower, and lets out one final battlecry"Unity....Duty....DESTINY!" he leans back and throws himself over the edge of the central tower , holding the mask of light tightly, with his final moments, he opens a portal using his Kualsi(mask of teleportation) and tosses the mask through it, in a safe place that only he knows of. As he plunges down the tower, all eyes are on him, toa, dark hunters matoran, all watch his body crash down lifeless.

The shadowed one orders the Darkhunters to fall back since Lance's final act turned their victory into defeat, but one thing's for sure, the toa suffered a lot of losses.

Mysterio:"how many were we before the attack?"

Korax: 2.000 troops, 5 toa, 21.000 matoran

Mysterio: afterwards?

Korax:"*sigh*..1995 dead troopers, 5 injuired badly....1 dead toa...4 alive...aand  50 mildly injuired matoran, no matoran casualties luckily.

Mysterio:"The remaining troops...I want names."

Korax:" Sergeant Curanos of Kini-nui-lost right arm and right leg , Lieutenant Herrandra of Ta-koro-she has a major concussion , Gravion of Po-koro-lost both arms , Rackus of Le-Koro- lost left arm from Scourge's grenade, Reiner of Le-koro lost his right arm to the same explosion"

Mysterio:"I want you to do everything possible to save their lives, and have Sergeant promote them to Members of the Order of Mata Nui"

Korax:" I'll do my best"

Mysterio:"Lance..."

Korax:" he died before his body hit the ground....in mid-fall....no matter how early we would've gotten to him...there was nothing we could've done..."

Mysterio:"I wish I could say that we don't have time to mourn our loses....but the sacrifice was too great...we need to pay tribute to the brave souls we lost today"
