00:00:12,043 --> 00:00:15,043
[narrator] In a distant world’s
time of need,

2
00:00:15,109 --> 00:00:18,543
an ancient prophecy summoned the Toa.

3
00:00:18,609 --> 00:00:20,809
Six legendary heroes,

4
00:00:21,076 --> 00:00:24,243
each powered by the energy
of the island’s elements.

5
00:00:26,409 --> 00:00:28,643
Tahu, Toa of Fire.

6
00:00:28,709 --> 00:00:32,443
Kopaka, Toa of Ice.

7
00:00:33,443 --> 00:00:36,543
Pohatu, Toa of Stone.

8
00:00:37,343 --> 00:00:39,443
Gali, Toa of Water.

9
00:00:40,643 --> 00:00:43,743
Onua, Toa of Earth.

10
00:00:45,409 --> 00:00:49,209
Lewa, Toa of the Jungle.

11
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:06,776
[insects chirping]

12
00:01:14,043 --> 00:01:17,776
Much has happened, I know.

13
00:01:18,043 --> 00:01:22,376
After so many thousands of years,

14
00:01:22,443 --> 00:01:25,476
your families have returned

15
00:01:25,543 --> 00:01:29,809
to rebuild the Mask Makers’ City.

16
00:01:30,076 --> 00:01:33,343
If must seem strange.

17
00:01:33,409 --> 00:01:36,609
You have only known
the region of the Jungle.

18
00:01:36,676 --> 00:01:42,176
And you,
the regions of Stone and Ice and Water.

19
00:01:42,243 --> 00:01:44,076
But we are Okotans,

20
00:01:44,143 --> 00:01:48,776
and once,
this was the centre of our world.

21
00:01:49,043 --> 00:01:52,709
And now we have returned.

22
00:01:52,776 --> 00:01:57,143
I’m sure you have questions,
but wait.

23
00:01:57,209 --> 00:02:02,643
First, let me tell you
how we came to return to our city

24
00:02:02,709 --> 00:02:06,743
and give you a taste
of what may lay ahead.

25
00:02:06,809 --> 00:02:08,609
Sit.

26
00:02:08,676 --> 00:02:13,543
Once, this was a beautiful city.

27
00:02:13,609 --> 00:02:17,276
And I like to think
it will be again.

28
00:02:17,343 --> 00:02:21,443
But that will depend
on more than your parents.

29
00:02:21,509 --> 00:02:26,309
It will depend on six heroes,
from another time and place!

30
00:02:26,376 --> 00:02:32,776
And it will depend on if they can harness
the elements that give our planet life.

31
00:02:33,043 --> 00:02:36,509
You know them from
the regions where you live.

32
00:02:36,576 --> 00:02:39,509
Fire, Water,

33
00:02:39,576 --> 00:02:43,676
Jungle, Earth, Stone and Ice.

34
00:02:43,743 --> 00:02:47,609
For you,
they are just corners of our island,

35
00:02:47,676 --> 00:02:51,443
but to the Toa, they are lifeblood.

36
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:57,276
But before there was trouble,
there was peace.

37
00:02:57,343 --> 00:03:01,143
And maybe
that’s where we should begin.

38
00:03:01,209 --> 00:03:04,543
More than a thousand years ago,

39
00:03:04,609 --> 00:03:08,309
this was a peaceful and vibrant place.

40
00:03:08,376 --> 00:03:13,376
Our Island’s two protectors,
Ekimu and his brother, Makuta,

41
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:19,376
harnessed the power of the elements
and forged them into masks.

42
00:03:22,076 --> 00:03:27,776
But Makuta grew jealous of his brother
and hungry for the power.

43
00:03:28,043 --> 00:03:31,609
So unbeknownst to his brother, Ekimu,

44
00:03:31,676 --> 00:03:35,443
the jealous Makuta broke a sacred law

45
00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:41,376
and created a mask that combined
the power of all the elements.

46
00:03:41,443 --> 00:03:46,276
He called it
the Mask of Ultimate Power.

47
00:03:48,509 --> 00:03:53,109
But, as the power of the mask
surged through Makuta,

48
00:03:53,176 --> 00:03:58,143
he became dark and evil.

49
00:03:58,209 --> 00:04:01,776
Knowing he had to act quickly,
Ekimu took the sacred hammer

50
00:04:02,043 --> 00:04:06,543
and knocked the mask
from the face of his brother.

51
00:04:06,609 --> 00:04:11,209
Ekimu saved Okoto,
but the cost was great.

52
00:04:11,276 --> 00:04:16,676
Both Ekimu and Makuta
were plunged into endless sleep.

53
00:04:18,676 --> 00:04:22,409
Our ancestors laid Ekimu to rest.

54
00:04:22,476 --> 00:04:27,309
The masks,
too powerful to be trusted to mortals,

55
00:04:27,376 --> 00:04:29,709
were hidden away forever.

56
00:04:29,776 --> 00:04:34,309
And after Ekimu
was sealed into a secret tomb,

57
00:04:34,376 --> 00:04:38,543
the Mask Makers’ City was abandoned.

58
00:04:38,609 --> 00:04:43,276
Although Makuta
lay buried deep beneath our island,

59
00:04:43,343 --> 00:04:46,809
his spirit remained powerful.

60
00:04:47,076 --> 00:04:53,376
He summoned dark forces
to find his Mask and awaken him.

61
00:04:53,443 --> 00:04:58,109
If Makuta’s minions managed
to awaken him,

62
00:04:58,176 --> 00:05:02,243
our island would be plunged
into darkness.

63
00:05:02,309 --> 00:05:05,209
So we, the protectors,

64
00:05:05,276 --> 00:05:09,443
gathered
and performed an ancient rite.

65
00:05:09,509 --> 00:05:14,076
Their legend was carved
into the walls of our temples,

66
00:05:14,143 --> 00:05:18,743
and their names were kept alive
in our rituals.

67
00:05:18,809 --> 00:05:21,509
These were the Toa.

68
00:05:21,576 --> 00:05:26,243
And it would be up to them
to save Okoto.

69
00:05:26,309 --> 00:05:28,743
The Toa of the Jungle, Lewa,

70
00:05:28,809 --> 00:05:31,343
was fast on his feet and quick witted,

71
00:05:31,409 --> 00:05:34,209
like the Jungle
that gave him his power.

72
00:05:34,276 --> 00:05:38,643
He was constantly changing,
and the most playful of the group.

73
00:05:38,709 --> 00:05:43,709
The brooding Pohatu
was the most serious of the group.

74
00:05:43,776 --> 00:05:46,676
And while the Toa of Stone
was rarely happy,

75
00:05:46,743 --> 00:05:51,076
he was fearless and powerful.

76
00:05:51,809 --> 00:05:57,609
Kopaka, the Toa of Ice,
was fearless and strong,

77
00:05:57,676 --> 00:06:02,743
but he could be as inflexible and cold

78
00:06:02,809 --> 00:06:06,309
as the element that gave him power.

79
00:06:06,376 --> 00:06:09,809
Gali was as powerful as the others,

80
00:06:10,076 --> 00:06:14,576
but as resilient as the Water
that was her element.

81
00:06:14,643 --> 00:06:19,476
The silent, powerful Onua,
the Toa of Earth,

82
00:06:19,543 --> 00:06:22,276
would provide a foundation.

83
00:06:22,343 --> 00:06:25,076
Like the Earth that gave him power,

84
00:06:25,143 --> 00:06:28,676
he was immovable and enduring.

85
00:06:29,676 --> 00:06:33,676
There was Tahu, the Toa of Fire,

86
00:06:33,743 --> 00:06:36,543
who saw himself as a leader

87
00:06:36,609 --> 00:06:40,443
even before he knew
there were others like him.

88
00:06:40,509 --> 00:06:42,776
With the help of their Protectors,

89
00:06:43,043 --> 00:06:47,576
the Toa found the Masks of Power.

90
00:06:54,176 --> 00:07:00,243
As they put on the Masks of Power,
an ancient prophecy was fulfilled.

91
00:07:00,309 --> 00:07:01,743
And for the first time,

92
00:07:01,809 --> 00:07:07,776
the Toa experienced the elemental power
that each of them was born to wield.

93
00:07:21,376 --> 00:07:27,143
The Toa had power,
but they needed the wisdom of Ekimu.

94
00:07:27,209 --> 00:07:31,076
Only he could guide them
to their true destiny.

95
00:07:32,209 --> 00:07:36,309
The Toa’s search
for Ekimu brought them here,

96
00:07:36,376 --> 00:07:39,243
to the Mask Makers’ City.

97
00:07:39,309 --> 00:07:43,676
But when they arrived,
it didn’t look like it does now.

98
00:07:43,743 --> 00:07:50,443
Then, it was a dark place,
overrun with evil creatures.

99
00:07:50,509 --> 00:07:55,509
And around every corner lay a trap!

100
00:07:55,576 --> 00:07:59,543
And for the first time
in a thousand years,

101
00:07:59,609 --> 00:08:03,609
the footsteps of the living echoed
through the Mask Makers’ City

102
00:08:03,676 --> 00:08:07,276
that we abandoned
so many centuries before.

103
00:08:08,776 --> 00:08:10,109
One by one,

104
00:08:10,176 --> 00:08:15,543
the Toa vanquished the creatures
Makuta had sent to stop them,

105
00:08:15,609 --> 00:08:19,743
finally defeating
the fearsome Skull Scorpions

106
00:08:19,809 --> 00:08:23,076
and reaching Ekimu’s tomb.

107
00:08:23,143 --> 00:08:29,776
The Toa realised that their history
and our planet's were entwined.

108
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:33,509
As they looked upon
the sleeping Mask Maker,

109
00:08:33,576 --> 00:08:37,209
somehow,
they knew how to awaken him.

110
00:08:41,776 --> 00:08:45,809
The six heroes had travelled far
into the ancient city,

111
00:08:46,076 --> 00:08:48,476
defeating many enemies.

112
00:08:48,543 --> 00:08:52,776
But only by retrieving
the Mask of Creation

113
00:08:53,043 --> 00:08:56,209
would Ekimu stand a chance
against his brother.

114
00:09:00,809 --> 00:09:03,476
Makuta’s most powerful minions fought

115
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:06,143
to keep the Toa
from the Mask Makers’ forge.

116
00:09:06,209 --> 00:09:08,543
But the Toa were ready.

117
00:09:08,609 --> 00:09:10,343
Or so they thought.

118
00:09:10,409 --> 00:09:11,676
[crash]

119
00:09:11,743 --> 00:09:15,609
They caught the Skull Grinder
before he could destroy Ekimu’s mask.

120
00:09:15,676 --> 00:09:20,043
But the creature was as cunning
as he was powerful,

121
00:09:20,109 --> 00:09:24,709
and, knowing the Toa would stop him
from destroying the mask,

122
00:09:24,776 --> 00:09:31,243
he put it on
and felt its power surge through him.

123
00:09:31,309 --> 00:09:33,243
Filled with the Mask Maker’s power,

124
00:09:33,309 --> 00:09:37,376
the Skull Grinder knocked the masks
from the faces of the Toa.

125
00:09:37,443 --> 00:09:42,409
Without their masks,
the heroes had lost their power.

126
00:09:42,476 --> 00:09:49,209
But they knew they must fight on,
even if victory seemed impossible.

127
00:09:49,276 --> 00:09:53,709
The heroes fought bravely
until they had nothing more to give.

128
00:09:53,776 --> 00:09:59,476
But their valiant effort gave Ekimu
the time he needed.

129
00:09:59,543 --> 00:10:02,043
Now wielding his ancient hammer,

130
00:10:02,109 --> 00:10:05,443
Ekimu took back the Mask of Creation

131
00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:09,776
and regained the power he once had.

132
00:10:10,043 --> 00:10:12,709
The six Toa had done their duty,

133
00:10:12,776 --> 00:10:18,076
awakened Ekimu
and retrieved the Mask of Creation.

134
00:10:18,143 --> 00:10:20,243
But evil was not defeated.

135
00:10:21,109 --> 00:10:27,776
Their true fate was still waiting,
deep inside the darkness.

136
00:10:28,043 --> 00:10:32,209
Prophecy had brought the Toa to Okoto.

137
00:10:32,276 --> 00:10:37,609
But what they’d experienced
made them more than just heroes.

138
00:10:37,676 --> 00:10:40,609
They have become legends.

139
00:10:40,676 --> 00:10:44,776
But the challenges
that lie ahead are huge,

140
00:10:45,043 --> 00:10:49,609
and the future of our entire world
is at stake.

141
00:10:49,676 --> 00:10:53,676
Their journey beings anew.

142
00:10:53,743 --> 00:10:59,043
With their new armour and weapons,
forged by the Mask Maker himself,

143
00:10:59,109 --> 00:11:01,243
the quest continues.

144
00:11:01,309 --> 00:11:06,676
as the Toa begin
the Search for One.
