Bionicle: The Legend Reborn

Mata Nui:
[the Mask of Life transforms Click into an awesome shield]

Mata Nui:
Magnificent!

Mata Nui:
[He sees that the shield still has Click's face on it with his eyes]

Mata Nui:
Which you can... see... for yourself.

Mata Nui:
Before this day, I've never needed help from anyone or anything. Thank you. I spared your life and you saved mine. Shall we call it even, and go our separate ways?

[Metus drives up to Mata Nui, seeing him for the first time, and points his blade at him]

Metus:
State your business!

Ackar:
So, stranger, what are your plans?

Mata Nui:
I begin searching for a way back to my homeland.

Ackar:
Which is...?

Mata Nui:
You will think it sounds crazy.

Ackar:
Well... [chuckles] Well, no crazier than jumping in the arena, armed with only a tail and... that thing. [in reference to Mata Nui's companion beetle, Click]

Mata Nui:
True. My home is far from this place. On another world entirely.

Mata Nui:
[Strakk strikes Ackar down from the back]

Mata Nui:
You call this honor? He was clearly defeated!

Raanu:
We're just Agori, we're not going to fight a Glatorian.

Ackar:
I don't like this! This canyon's ideal for an ambush.

Kiina:
Please. Even Bone Hunters aren't dumb enough to take on three Glatorian.

Ackar:
They're getting bolder! Skrall too. The past months they seem to know our every move.

Kiina:
True. But don't worry, it's not like we've got much worth stealing. [pause] Well, maybe Mata Nui does.

[Click, Mata Nui's beetle chirps angrily]

Kiina:
I meant his blade, bug-face! I can't believe I'm talking to an insect.

Ackar:
Hey... What you did with the Vorox tail and... Click, could it work with these? [everyone draws their worn-out blades]

Mata Nui:
I don't know. This mask gave me new life. But I still don't completely understand its power. I think it only works on things that are or were alive.

Berix:
No problem. Most Glatorian weapons are made of bone or claw.

Kiina:
Collected a few, have you?

Berix:
[chuckles sarcastically] So funny...

Mata Nui:
[reacting with surprise to Ackar's new blade spewing a huge jet of fire] Of course! Fire is your elemental power. The Mask of Life has simply ignited it. You have become a true Toa.

Ackar:
Thank you, friend. [puts his hand on Mata Nui's shoulder]

Mata Nui:
Strange. I have worn many titles, been called a lot of things... but never friend. [puts his hand on Ackar's shoulder]

Kiina:
Me next! [cheerfully holds up her spear that needs a similar overhaul]

[first lines]

Mata Nui:
[we see a tropical island paradise, in the middle of a beautiful, endless ocean] It is said that all endings are merely beginnings, waiting to be born. [two brightly glowing eyes suddenly light up below the island] My beginning was much the same. [the ocean waters start to go crazy, the earth rumbles and shatters, mountains crumble, and the tropical island falls apart as a gigantic metal titan awakens and rises up from under it, the broken pieces of the island falling off its enormous body] Once I was a towering giant, ruler of my own universe. Fearless. Beholden to none. Protector of my people. [we see a flourishing civilization of colorful beings, called Matoran, inside the robot's body, each of them happy and cheerful] Until I was betrayed. [the yellow eyes of the robot giant flicker out, darkness falls over the universe inside it, then an evil red glow bursts from the robot's eyes] All that I had been, all that I had known was stolen from my by an ever-present evil. My power stripped away. My people enslaved. [strange beams of solid light and shutting metal doors capture the frightened Matoran, who try in vain to escape] I was left powerless to save them. And yet a part of me survived. My spirit... [a beam of light shoots from the giant robot's chest, flying away into the sky]... captured and preserved inside a mask warn by a Toa warrior. Its name echoed my rebirth - The Mask of Life!

Ackar:
They have us outnumbered ten to one.

Kiina:
More like twenty!

Gresh:
Yeah!... But who's counting?

Tuma:
[Mata Nui confronts Tuma] Yeeesssss. So brave. I hoped all the Glatorian would come. But it seems they're even bigger cowards than I thought! Either he's a madman, or he'd like to join the winning side! Which is it?

Mata Nui:
I'm here to fight form my friends' freedom. One on one. Unless the Skrall leader is the real coward.

Tuma:
I'm going to enjoy tearing that fancy mask from your face!

Kiina:
You jerk! We thought... [hugs Berix] Don't ever do that again. [hugs him tighter]

Berix:
[suffering] I liked it better when you hated me. You can let go now.
