Bara Magna. I recognized it as some ancient form of the Matoran language. I think it meant great desert. Or grand desert. I wasn't entirely sure. As I walked toward the mountains, I heard fighting. I ran towards it. By the time I had made it there, everyone was gone. It was a large city completely in ruins. There were pieces of armor everywhere. The armor was all different colors, although most of it was black.

I heard someone coming. I ducked under a pile of rubble, wanting to learn more about what happened. It was a group of black armored warriors. most of them were carrying swords and rotating saw-shields, although their leader had a very heavy club. they looked to be patrolling. They were saying something about people called Glotorian and Agori. I then heard their leader talk about creatures called Baterra and how this mission was crucial to the survival of the Skrall.

They moved on, and I stood up, pondering what I had heard. I continued through the city. I eventually came to a huge structure that looked to be an arena. It was smoking and in ruins. It appeared that most of the fighting had been done here, as you could barely see the ground under the heaps of armor. I picked up what looked like a helmet, and realized that it wasn't made of protodermis. I continued on until I left the ruined city, and was soon attacked by another patrol of the black armored warriors. There leader said, "You don't look like a Glatorian!"

"I'm not," I replied.

"What are you, a Baterra?"

"No, I'm a Makuta."

"I've never heard of them."

"Then your in for a shock."

The warriors attacked me, and I felled them with one shadow blast.

The remaining warriors ran, and I followed far behind them. I eventually came upon a huge walled city, almost as big as the one I had just left. Hundreds of the black warriors were patrolling the walls. I decided it best not to attempt to enter, and began marching away from the city.

I walked into a tree that I knew had not been there a second earlier, and it, along with many others nearby, transformed into robots. they looked like Bohrok, but I knew instinctively that they were Baterra.
