Voya Nui Matoran

The Matoran Resistance of Voya Nui, six main characters of 2006.

2006 was the sixth year of BIONICLE. It moved the story to the island of Voya Nui, and focused on the Voya Nui Resistance Team and later the Toa Inika and their struggle against the Piraka.

A new series of comics, BIONICLE Ignition, began this year, with five comics released in 2006. A new series of books also began in 2006, called BIONICLE Legends, with five books released. An online game was also released, along with a console game. In total, thirty-one sets were released in 2006, and it was BIONICLE's most profitable year.

Story[]

The Toa Nuva, Turaga and Matoran finally returned to Metru Nui. However, Turaga Dume told the Toa Nuva that Mata Nui was dying and they needed to go to Voya Nui to save Mata Nui with the Ignika, Legendary Mask of Life.

Six Skakdi ex-Dark Hunters, calling themselves "Piraka" (a vulgar Matoran word meaning assassin or thief), arrived on the island first, posed as Toa, and eventually enslaved the Matoran with their Zamors. The Toa Nuva arrived and fought them, but lost. Meanwhile on Metru Nui, Jaller and a group of Matoran left for Voya Nui to aid the Toa Nuva, traveling through the realm of Karzahni. There, Karzahni gave them new masks. They found Toa Canisters there and traveled to Voya Nui in them. When they arrived they were struck with lightning from the Red Star and transformed into Toa. They called themselves the Toa Inika.

The Toa Inika, the main heroes

The Toa Inika and the Piraka clashed, and eventually both groups headed down to the Chamber of Life where the Mask of Life was contained. The Piraka got there first and found they had been beaten by Vezon, formerly one of their number. With the power of the mask, Vezon easily defeated the Piraka. When the Toa made it to the Chamber of Life, they discovered that the Mask of Life, on the back of Vezon's head, wanted Toa Inika Matoro as its new guardian. They used a special zamor sphere to freeze Vezon and his steed, the Kardas Dragon, in time and space, and Matoro took the Mask. But it floated away and into the sea surrounding Voya Nui, down to Mahri Nui, an island that rested on The Pit.
