Comic 15: Mata Nui Rising

Comic 15: Mata Nui Rising is the fourth and last part of the series "Battle for Power". It was released in November of 2008.

Plot
Takanuva subjects a struggling Kirop to the scream of a Klakk, and he turns back into an Av-Matoran.

Antroz, being chased in the Jetrax T6, teleports away, and Kopaka reclaims his vehicle. Antroz, meanwhile, warns the other Makuta that the final stages of their Plan are about to begin, and to be careful.

In the Codrex, Gali convinces Toa Ignika to sacrifice himself so that Mata Nui can live again, instead of using lightstones to jolt him back awake. Ignika agrees, and turns into pure energy -- awakening Mata Nui and starting the energy storms.

The Makuta notice the storms. Gorast cracks, and cannot believe that Teridax has betrayed the Brotherhood, letting them die. Antroz,tries to persuade Bitil to lead them out of Karda Nui (He's blind). Bitil refuses, and escapes, muttering about how Teridax will promote him to the top lieutenant. BItil reaches the end of Karda Nui, tries to teleport, but he is destroyed by the lighting.

The Toa Nuva escape using their three vehicles: Rockoh T3, Jetrax T6, Axalara T9, and reach Metru Nui. Then, Mata Nui rises -- at last.

There is a celebration in Metru Nui; during Dume's speech, the stars realign themselves to a Kanohi Kraahkan. The Toa, shocked, are revealed the truth: Teridax slipped into Mata Nui's body before Mata Nui's spirit could, and now Teridax controls the Matoran universe. He says that he has trapped Mata Nui's spirit in the Mask of Life and banished the Mask of Life from the universe, and promises them an eternity of his reign.

Mata Nui, trapped in the Ignika, floating through space, makes a vow: "I will return."
