Toa Inika/Toa Mahri

Toa Inika were a team of Toa from the Bionicle Legends arc.

History
Jaller, Matoro, Hahli, Kongu, Hewkii and Nuparu travelled through the realm of Karzahni on their way to Voya Nui. In an attempt to have the Matoran discard their old identities, Karzahni had their Kanohi masks replaced with new ones. They were able to find some Toa Canisters to escape Karzahni's realm, and when they arrived on Voya Nui, the canisters were struck by lightning from the mysterious Red Star, turning them into Toa.

In examining their new bodies and tools, each of the new Toa began instinctively activating their mask powers, which causes some chaos, as Nuparu was airborne, Kongu could not turn his telepathy off, Matoro seemed to be dead and Hahli was talking to thin air. Eventually they got things under control.

They soon met the few Matoran on the island that were still free, and learned of the situation: six beings calling themselves Piraka, under the names Thok, Hakann, Vezok, Zaktan, Avak and Reidak, had invaded and enslaved most of the Matoran in their quest to claim the Mask of Life for themselves, except a resistance made out of six Matoran: Balta, Kazi, Dalu, Garan, Piruk and Velika. The Piraka also had an ally, a giant named Brutaka, that had beaten the Toa Nuva and taken them captive. While Jaller and Hahli went to free some of the slaves with Protodermis Launchers provided by Velika, Hewkii and Matoro were brought to another giant being named Axonn, only to find him badly beaten. Axonn told them to stop Brutaka before it was too late. Meanwhile, Kongu and Nuparu searched the Piraka Stronghold looking for the Toa Nuva, but were unable to find them before they were caught. The other Toa Inika arrived just in time to help them fight, but two of the Piraka, Hakann and Thok, were able to steal Brutaka's power and soundly defeat everyone else.

In order to stop them, the Toa formed an uneasy alliance with the remaining Piraka to tried and return Brutaka's power to him. Axonn also appeared and gives Jaller a Zamor Sphere, stating that the Mask of Life needed protection, but he elected to stay behind and watch over the near-unconscious Brutaka. Meanwhile, Hakann and Thok had started fighting each other, and a massive explosion made the two easy to find. In the ensuing fight, the Inika and Piraka had the upper hand when Hakann and Thok finally agreed to work together, but even as they attacked, Hewkii used a specially-prepared Zamor Launcher to take their power and return it to Brutaka, who began an "eternity-long fight" with Axonn. In the end, Zaktan was the only one still standing, Hakann and Thok fainting from the power loss and the rest having been knocked out by their attack.

The Toa Inika woke up to find the six Piraka already gone, and a long underground staircase exposed from the earlier explosion. Figuring that the stairs lead to the Mask of Life and that the Piraka had gone ahead of them, they decided to follow after them immediately, preparing to fight the guardians of the Mask of Life.
