A single being flew through the heart of a star.

It tumbled into the air, flying on a collision course with a massive robot flying with the aid of the Red Star. The figure apparently noticed the robot, and activated his flight power. His tumble became a controlled glide, on route to the robot. It flew in close, skimming the robot, and then dissappeared into it.

Chapter One
Shasa knew he was about to die. On the run from the terrifying Makuta known only as the Shadow, he was too slow to escape. He kept running, if only to get to Koro-Nui. Maybe they could get to the area of weapons and protect the village. Then something happened! A great hole opened in the sky, with darkness all around. An instant later, a huge light lit up the sky. Shasa closed his eyes against it, but it didn't help. As an Av-Matoran, he was used to light, but this was incredible. He heard an incredible scream: probably the Shadow, who would have an acute reaction to this much light. Suddenly, the light fell away and left only the shadow.

The small being hit the water under Megarzla Nui hard, slamming into the water. His incredible light faded away. He triggered his Water Breathing powers and floated. In another time, he had been known as Magalai, a Great Being. But here, he was younger, and on Ocea Magna still. He floated to the top and started for the closest landmass. He swam at an incredibly fast rate, much faster than any other being. He quickly hit the island, getting off at the beach. He reached into his robe pocket and drew out a small stone. Raising his hand, a yellow beam of power shot out into the stone, enlarging it until it was five seperate tablets, each with Matoran writing on it, along with translation in a language Magalai knew as Agori. A voice rang out. "What are those?"

Magalai looked up to see a Thu-Matoran, or Matoran of Plantlife, in front of him. It's green and blue exterior was crowned by a blue mask covering his face. "I'm not going to hurt you. What's your name?" he asked.

"My name's Dastak, and I'm a Matoran of Plantlife, or..."

"Thu-Matoran, I know." Magalai replied. "I know everything about you... more than you know yourself."

The Matoran looked puzzled. Then he gestured toward the west. "Koro-Nui's that way. I'll take you there." he said, starting off.

"Wait! Do you know a Ko-Matoran named Shasa?" Magalai asked.

"Of course! He's my best friend. Why?" Dastak answered.

"No reason. I'll follow you. Lead on." Magalai said, beginning to walk. ==== "This is taking too long. There has to be a faster way to Koro-Nui!" Magalai protested. His legs were screaming from walking this far!

"Its not far. Not used to walking, are you?" Dastak replied.

"I'm bored, so no. Oh, and one more thing..." Magalai grabbed Dastak, hauling him into his arms. A millisecond later, he mentally triggered his Speed power, zipping along far too fast to see. They arrived at Koro-Nui only a second or two later.

A Ta-Matoran and a La-Matoran saw him, and grabbed a Nynrah Ghost Blaster. They shot a single bolt out. If it hit him, they would have control of his mechanical functions. Magalai made no effort to dodge, throwing Dastak on the ground. The bolt slammed into him, but nothing happened. Magalai walked toward them. "Those work great on Biomechanics. But on organics alone?... they're powerless." He triggered his Detection power, walking straight toward the Turaga of the island. Behind him the two Matoran, along with Dastak, stared in wonder. ==== Making it to the citadel, Magalai had expected a happy thought, maybe a party, even. Instead, he was being shot at by all sorts of weapons. A Zamor sphere bounced off his Shield, creating a discolored spot on it. A Kanoka impacted on the Shield. On a Kanohi Hau, it would have sent the user flying. But Magalai stood, and even walked through it. "This is taking too long." he growled. He triggered his Fate power, leaping and dodging everything thrown at him. He broke a door into the Turaga's council and was immediately blasted by twin bolts of Plasma and Fire. An intense cold slowed him long enough for an acute Sonic attack to hit him. A twin Water and Air storm, coupled with a Magnetic and Iron flux, should have killed him. Instead, a Stone and Earth attack had to fell him, by knocking the ground from beneath him. Still he hovered, inches above the ground. A Vacuum attack left him gasping for breath, which was followed up by a plant growing and trying to strangle him. Gravity hit him hard, but still he levitated. 1,000 volts ripped through every fiber of his being, which, coupled with a Psionic mind blast, was devastating. Finally, he hit the ground feet first. All the Toa in the room redied tools and prepared masks.

"Enough!" the Turaga shouted. Magalai could tell he was a Turaga of...

"Ooh, Magma. That's one of the rare elements. I didn't think any were left!" Magalai said.

"How did you know my element? Only two others in the universe do." The Turaga continued.

"I know more of it than you do... but that's for another day. Do you know a Matoran named Shasa?" he asked.

"The Ko-Matoran? Sure, I do. Why?" the Turaga asked.

A Toa of Plasma stepped forward. He was in the unmistakable form of a Toa Hagah, and looked about to kill someone. "This one is unknown. Let me take care of him, Turaga Rast." he said.

"No, Karj, your Toa team would kill him. I think I need him." The Turaga stated.

A Rahaga walked from the shadows. "Make him answer my riddle, and he will be trusted." he stated.

A Toa of Ice seemed taken aback. "No one has ever answered it. How do you think he could?" he petitioned.

"This one is more, and less, than we have ever seen. I will ask it. I am enormous, yet require the smallest of beings to help me. I thrive only on the sacrifice of many. All know me, but none know me. What am I?" the Rahaga said.

"That's easy. The Great Spirit Mata Nui. He's enormous, yet without the Matoran, he will die. Many die to save him. They know him as the sun, the air, the ground, but do not know it is him. That is the answer." Magalai answered.

"Incredible! How can this be?" Turaga Rast said.

The Rahaga seemed amazed. "None have answered that. Come, we have many things to discuss..."
