BIONICLE Legends 10: Swamp of Secrets

Swamp of Secrets is the tenth Bionicle Legends book and came out in May of 2008. It is set in the Universe Core of Karda Nui.

Story Overview
Tahu, Gali, and Onua descend to the swamp in the bottom of Karda Nui. Their armor adapts to the new environment to keep out the mutagenous water. Three Makuta are introduced to the storyline: Krika, Bitil, and Gorast, who were mutated, and they lost their ability to shapeshift. Both groups continue in a search for the key stones for the Codrex. The Phantoka Toa and Makuta follow to join their counterparts in the swamp.

Meanwhile, in Metru Nui...

Helryx and Toa Krakua find Takanuva and give him visions of the past through a kratana. In these visions, Takanuva witnesses the origins of the Toa Mata.

Spoiler
Tahu hovered in midair and began rapidly absorbing all the heat from around Krika. Sensing what was about to happen, Krika tried to turn intangible. But Tahu was faster, and Krika began to ice over halfway between his solid and ghostly form. "Very good Tahu," purred Krika. "Too easy perhaps... but it is about to become much more difficult. Look behind you." "Do you really think that I am going to fall for that old trick?" "No... I am counting on the fact that you won't," answered Krika. "Since there really is something behind you..." Against his better judgment, Tahu looked over his shoulder to see Antroz, Chirox, Vamprah, and their shadow Matoran diving down. "This would be the first time a Makuta has told the truth," he said to himself. "Onua! Gali! Hunt Cover!" he shouted. It was useless, of course. Antroz's first blast of shadow shattered the ice forming around Krika. Vamprah flew to join Bitil, and the two closed on Onua. Chirox hauled Gorast out of the mud, and the two circled Gali, arguing over who would make the kill. Tahu managed to land some fireballs on Antroz, but to no great effect. Now the six Makuta formed a V-Shaped wedge in the sky and bore down on the Toa Mistika, their attacks forming a solid wall of shadow energy. Tahu, Onua, and Gali were driven back until they were pinned down near the Codrex field. One more step backward and they would hit the protective energy around the sphere and be hurled straight toward the oncoming Makuta. "It appears that your theory that we need you alive is about to be proven wrong," said Krika. "Good-bye Tahu." Antroz raised his arm, shadow energy swirling around his claw...
