Golden Armor

The Golden Armor were several pieces of Gold-Colored armor that were created by the Ignika. They were intended to be used by Toa Mata Tahu.

Design
The Golden Armor Fragments were originally designed and thought of by the Great Beings. It was their attempt to ensure that the Toa would not be defenceless if a time came where the Matoran would be in danger. However, rather than store the Armor away in the Matoran Universe and risk somebody other that Tahu Mata finding it, they stored their designs inside the Kanohi Ignika.

Creation
Following the Matoran Universe; that was being controlled by Makuta Teridax, landing on Bara Magna, Toa Tahu Mistika exited the Robot to find himself in an illusion created by the Ignika. The Mask told him that he would need to be what he once was in order to use the Golden Armor. The Mask then enguled him in a burst of energy that transformed him back into a Toa Mata, undoing the effects of the Energized Protodermis. The Toa then complained that he needed as much power as he could muster in order to fight the Rahkshi, Skakdi, and Skrall armies. In responce to this, the Ignika created the six pieces of Armor for Tahu to wear. However, Makuta Teridax saw this while battling Mata Nui - Who was in the Prototype Robot - and sent a burst of energy at Tahu, which blew him aside and scattered the armor.

Search for the Golden Armor
Tahu was able to keep the Golden Kanohi while Takanuva was able to find a piece. The two then set off in seach of the other pieces only to be joined by Glatorian Gresh, who also had found a piece of Armor. The three beings then split up. Gresh soon came across a Skrall with a piece of Golden Armor. The two engaged in battle only for Gresh to blast the Skrall with a burst of Air and send knock him out. Gresh then took the Golden Armor from him and returned to the others. Meanwhile, Takanuva was ambushed by two Rahkshi of Heat Vision. Noticing that one of them had a piece of Golden Armor, Takanuva created a hologram of himself, which he used to distract the two Rahkshi. They both fired their eye beams at it as the hologram slipped between them, striking each other. Takanuva then looted the Golden Armor piece and also returned to the others. By this point, Tahu had already engaged Nektann in a sword-fight. Nektann began to tease him about being a Toa. Tahu responded to this by melting the Skakdi's Armor then taking his piece of Golden Armor.

Uniting the Armor
As Tahu, Takanuva, and Gresh reunited, Tahu took the six pieces of Armor and fitted them onto himself while an Army of Rahkshi advanced on him. Not wanting to miss his chance, Tahu used the Armor to enchance his own powers to a point where he incinerated the Kraata inside the Rahkshi of Heat Vision. This led to Teridax feeling the pain of his Rahkshi and being stunned; allowing Mata Nui to push him into Aqua Magna as it returned to Bara Magna; killing the Makuta.
