History of BIONICLE pat 4-The turning point

2004

The end of 2003 saw the defeat of Makuta and the discovery of the island of Metru Nui. But what was this island? What was it's history? Well the answer lay 1000 years before the current BIONICLE storyline.

2004 was kicked off with the release of six small sets-Ahkmou, Tehutti, Ehrye, Vhisola, Orkaham, and Nuhrii were rleased as the new Matoran featured on Metru Nui. Also released were six new toa-Vakama, Nokama, Onewa, Whenua, Nuju, and Matau-all of them were the turaga featured in the previous storyline. The first half of the year had these Toa Metru have the six Matoran help them find six great disks to help stop the Morbuzahk- a large plant. The story was told through the new Adventures series of books and the comics. But on BIONICLE.com the online animations were no more. A brand new site surfaced with virtualy no content from the previous-even the Mata Nui Online Game was taken down. But this new site came with the Kanoka club. Entering codes found on various Kanoka disk collectibles memebers could get new content. Includeing Mata Nui Online Game 2 and the Vahki animations.

The Vahki themselves were the law enforement machines used in Metru Nui. They were released along with other 1004 summer titans-Nidihki, Krekka, and Dume/Nivawk- the first two were Dark Hunters sent to Metru Nui to eradicate the toa and Dume was the turaga incharge of Metru Nui. After the Morbuzahk was defeated the Toa Metru had to enter the maintanence tunnels under Maetru Nui to fix some protodermis leaks. However instead they faced Krahka a shape-shifting rahi. She was eventuly defeated.

Then, in the fall of 2004 the next BIONICLE movie was released. This movie was called BIONICLE 2: Legends of Metru Nui. It did quite well but it's DVD sales failed in comparisson to Mask of Light from the previous year. It showed the Toa Metru failing in helping Metru Nui, for Makuta put all the sleeping Matoran in pods the toa did eventuly defeated Makuta by incaseing him in protodermis. But even after the movie was released the year was not yet finished. Two more books followed by one more set-Lhikan and Kikinalo-followed the release of LoMN. This had 2004 end in a good manner and it funneled right into the following year....
