Myths and Legacy: IN MAKUTA’S LAIR Part 3

The third and final sections of the full, complete, canonical 2001 ending that seamlessly integrates the games, book, and lore.

With the defeat of the Manas, the final battles of 2001 begin. In the realm far below Mata Nui, the Toa vie with shadows of themselves fashioned by Makuta’s hand. Only by taking a hard look at themselves will they emerge victorious… and go on to contend with the Master of Shadows.

The bulk of tonight’s changes orient around the alteration of the victory of the Toa over their counterparts. As many know, in BIONICLE Chronicles 1, C. A. Hapka features the Toa winning by uniting and fighting another Toa’s shadow. By contrast, in the canonical storyline the Toa win by recognizing the shadow as part of themselves. A short story presenting an interpretation of the latter has been written by TuragaNuva and is already featured on the site. However, for the purposes of this project, we have elected to go with the version of events presented in the BIONICLE Synopsis. Along with added material from the original draft of BIONICLE Chronicles 1 and added description providing cohesion with the MNOG elements of the Manas fight, the resulting section is now a seamless rendition of the story.

In addition to this story, as a final chapter in this collection we are including an excerpt from the MNOG Walkthrough detailing the final fight between the Toa and Makuta, appended for the first time to the larger BC1 story. We’re very excited to share the final pieces of this patchwork story!
