Synopsis
In the time before time, a great being watched over the ancient land of Mata Nui, protecting it from harm. But now a powerful evil has arisen, casting a dark shadow over the land. Just when all seems lost, six heroes emerge from the darkness.
These mighty warriors are the Toa, and they have a single destiny: Destroy the evil force and restore peace to the land.
Will the Toa triumph, or will the island of Mata Nui lie in darkness forever?
