Lewa (2001)



Lewa was the Toa of Air and protector of Le-Koro on the island of Mata Nui.

Early days
Little is known about Lewa's past. His canister was built in the Realm of Karzahni. During the Great Cataclysm, he and the other 5 Toa Mata were shot out of Karzahni and into the ocean surrounding Mata Nui. He stayed afloat along with the others in the ocean for 1,000 years.

After Takua activated the Toa Stones, Lewa washed upon shore. Matau, the Turaga of Le-Koro appeared. He led Lewa to Le-Koro and told him the Legend of Mata Nui. Matau also mentioned others: Gali, Pohatu, Kopaka, Tahu, and Onua. Lewa met with the other Toa, and they decided to split up to search for the great Kanohi masks.

Tahu, while searching for masks, Onua had called a meeting near the Kini-Nui.

The meeting was interupted by a volcano eruption. Onua and Lewa dug a trench to make the lava flow through it. Two Tarakava emerged behind Tahu, but Pohatu took them out with a large boulder. A downfall of sand appeared, and Tahu turned it to glass by using his power. Two Nui-Rama appeared, smashed the glass, swooped up Tahu, and dropped him. Tahu did not have the Miru, but luckaly Onua caught him.

The Chronicler Company arived, and the Toa tasked them with defending the Kini-Nui from any more Rahi attacks while they were in the Magnai. They assembled the Makoki stone and descended.

Tahu, Pohatu, and Onua combined to become Akamaiand Lewa, Gali, and Kopaka combined into Wairuha. Wairuha and Akamai split up to fight the Manas. These Toa Kaita discovered that the by smashing some strange structures, the manas were easily defeated. They ventured further into Makuta's lair, but the Toa Kaita split apart into the the Toa Mata again.

The Toa were ready to confront Makuta. But all they found was a Matoran! But the Matoran's mask jettisoned off and tenticles grew off it. These tenticles were very hard to defeat, and Tahu discovered that the Toa would have to work together. They did just that, and Makuta fell.

They were teleported out of Makuta's lair.

Bohrok Swarm
Makuta was defeated, but there was a rumble from the ground and a Matoran came running to the Toa. The Matoran was saying one word over and over again: Bohrok

Mask of Light
After the Bohrok-Kal were defeated, a new era of peace rose upon Mata Nui. Koli was re-invented, and became Kohlii. This sport became popular, that the Turaga chose two Matoran to represent their Koro. The Ta-Koro team was Jaller and Takua.

At the Kohli Game, Tahu sat with Gali and Pohatu in a special box. Ga-Koro won. Suddenly, out of Takua's Kohlii Bag was the Ahvokii, the Mask of Light.

It was taken to Ta-Suva, and Nokama confirmed it was destined to belong to the Toa of Light.
