Tahu (2001)

Tahu is the Toa of Fire on the island Mata Nui.

Early days
Little is known about Tahu's past. His canister was built in the Realm of Karzahni. During the Great Cataclylism, he and the other 6 Toa were shot out of Karzahni and into the ocean surrounding Mata Nui. He stayed afloat along with the others in the ocean for 1,000 years.

Quests for the Masks
After Takua activated the Toa Stones, Tahu washed upon shore. He was dissasembled, so he rebuilt himself. He then journeyed into Ta-Wahi, where he was caught in a Rahi Trap. He used his Fire Sword to cut his way out.

Vakama, the Turaga of Ta-Koro appeared. Vakama bowed before Tahu and apoligized. He led Tahu to Ta-Koro and told him the Legend of Mata Nui. Vakama also mentioned others: Gali, Pohatu, Kopaka, Lewa, and Onua. Tahu met with the other Toa, and they decided to split up to search for the great Kanohi masks.

Tahu, while searching for masks, ran into Gali, who was surrounded by Nui-Jaga. Tahu scared them away with fire. Gali did a back flip into the water and was knocked cold. She washed up on shore and Tahu told her it was alright. Onua had called a meeting near the Kini-Nui.

The meeting was interupted by a volcano eruption. Onua and Lewa dug a trench to make the lava flow through it. Two Tarakava emerged behind Tahu, but Pohatu took them out with a large boulder. A downfall of sand appeared, and Tahu turned it to glass by using his power. Two Nui-Rama appeared, smashed the glass, swooped up Tahu, and dropped him. Tahu did not have the Miru, but luckaly Onua caught him.

The Chronicler Company arived, and the Toa tasked them with defending the Kini-Nui from any more Rahi attacks while they were in the Magnai. They assembled the Makoki stone and descended.

Tahu, Pohatu, and Onua combined to become Akamai. Wairuha and Akamai split up to fight the Manas. These Toa Kaita discovered that the by smashing some strange structures, the manas were easily defeated. They ventured further into Makuta's lair, but the Toa Kaita split apart into the the Toa Mata again.

The Toa were ready to confront Makuta. But all they found was a Matoran! But the Matoran's mask jettisoned off and tenticles grew off it. These tenticles were very hard to defeat, and Tahu discovered that the Toa would have to work together. They did just that, and Makuta fell.

They were teleported out of Makuta's lair.

Bohrok Swarm
Makuta was defeated, but there was a rumble from the ground and a Matoran came running to the Toa. The Matoran was saying one word over and over again:

Bohrok.

Mask of Light
After the Bohrok-Kal were defeated, a new era of peace rose upon Mata Nui. Koli was re-invented, and became Kohlii. This sport became popular, that the Turaga chose two Matoran to represent their Koro. The Ta-Koro team was Jaller and Takua.

At the Kohli Game, Tahu sat with Gali and Pohatu in a special box. Ga-Koro won. Suddenly, out of Takua's Kohlii Bag was the Ahvokii, the Mask of Light.

It was taken to Ta-Suva, and Nokama confirmed it was destined to belong to the Toa of Light.
