Avohkii



The Great Kanohi Avohkii is the Great Mask of Light. The earliest appearance of the Avohkii was in the hands of the Brotherhood of Makuta, who stole it from the Matoran of Artakha. The Toa Hagah stole it from the Brotherhood, carrying it with them during their quest for Keetongu. Eventually settling on Metru Nui, the Rahaga hid the mask somewhere in the great city. A Brotherhood of Makuta guard turned to the Dark Hunters to try to retrieve the mask.

When the Toa Metru were mutated into Toa Hordika, the Rahaga sent the Hordika on a great quest for the Makoki Stones, chronicled in the Toa Hordika and the Mask of Light web series. At the end of the series, Onewa Hordika encased the mask in stone by using his Rhotuka Spinner. This allowed the Toa Metru to successfully smuggle the mask out of the city. The Metru found that the Kanohi would tell who was the Seventh Toa of Light who would rise in a time of shadow.

A thousand years later, the Avohkii was released from its bonds of stone by falling in a lava stream near Ta-Koro on the island of Mata Nui. The Turaga took this as a sign that the seventh Toa, a Toa of Light, would come to rid them of Makuta's harassment. Takua and Jaller set out to find this seventh Toa, racing against time and the dreaded Rahkshi. The two Matoran eventually reached the great Suva, Kini-Nui, at the center of the island. When Jaller was killed by Turahk, the Rahkshi of Fear, Takua put the Avohkii on his face and transformed into the Toa of Light, Takanuva.

During Takanuva's battle with Makuta, the Avohkii was merged with the Kraahkan, it's exact opposite. The being formed from the two masks merging, Takutanuva, opened the door to Metru Nui. The Avohkii was used to revive Takanuva after the door Takutanuva was supporting fell on him and split the being into its two original parts.
