Now I know there have been alot of these recently, but I really think that I am on to something here.

Recently, it was discovered that the MoLi could quickly wake up Mata Nui, by sacrificing himself, and members asked how this could be done, and Greg replied something along the lines of "Can Ignika really sacrifice himself if he was ever truly alive?" And if Ignika were to destroy himself, and wake Mata Nui up, then the whole universe would screw things up and that wouldn't really help anything either.

Recently, it was said that Masks can run out of energy. I didn't know this, and I couldn't be bothered to find the quote that said that so I asked Greg today:



Okay, so I wondered whether the Ignika could run out of energy?



And it can. Okay so maybe you're wondering whether something horrible would happen if the Ignika ran out of energy, the force of life might die or something like that.



There we have it.

So this is my theory: Takanuva will cure the Shadow Matoran using the Klakk, the Toa Nuva will warn the Makuta about the energy storms, who won't listen, due to Makutas' arrogance, and then the Matoran of light, Takanuva and the Toa Nuva, will get out via the Western Portal.

Then Toa Ignika will use all of the power of the mask and wake Mata Nui up. Energy storms happen and kill all the Makuta etc etc. and then Mata Nui wipes out all the Makuta, except Teridax. Not sure why I just think that it will. I know that is complete speculation, and I don't actually have anything to back that up, but alot of it seems like the obvious thing that those characters would do, and we already know that it's possible for Toa Ignika to wake up Mata Nui.

Comments and spelling corrections appreciated

The revelation that they had been turning Matoran of Light into shadow Matoran. That last sickened me. I knew now that I must have been a Matoran of Light in the past, though those memories were blocked. I probably worked alongside some of the Matoran the Makuta had corrupted. They might have even been good friends. Right then and there, I swore that no matter what – even if it meant Mata Nui stayed asleep, even at the cost of my own life – I would see to it that the shadow Matoran were cured.

In my view this seem to point to the fact that Takanuva will cure the Shadow Matoran.

Unfortunately, I know I saw a quote that said if the Toa told the Makuta to get out of Karda Nui they wouldn't listen. I can't find it unfortunately.



I have a feeling that when he says "them" he means Teridax.



I bet he's factored them in so they can kill off his 8 best Makuta.



This pretty much says that the Toa are at least going to try and get the Matoran out. Although, from the way the quote is written it doesn't sound like it.



I think this is important because it means that the Toa have time to get everyone and themselves out.

This says that Toa Ignika is considering giving up his new found "life". I heard somewhere that the reason he became a Toa was to copy Matoro, so if Matoro sacrificed himself, then perhaps the Ignika will?

I hope this helps to back up my theory a tad

no, you have a little evidence... I still think your theory needs more explanation

The questions were good, but the real theory was just
plain speculation, a guess. Maybe an educated guess, but a guess at that.

Maybe, try find more evidence to back up your
theory, and edit it in to your original post.

i think its rather good but it think you came to little to many conclusions and that means if one thing revealed proves false your whole theory is exterminated

The Unknown

Depends on what happens. If for example, Ignika sacrifices himself, then I haved proved that it is possible for him to do so without destroying the whole universe in the process.

If Ignika chooses not to sacrifice himself, then that point of the theory will be moot, and it will go on to the next point in the theory which is the energy storms etc.

When it says the Ignika must sacrifice itself, it means it must give up its body, not run out of energy.

I know that it says that, but it also says "New Found Life". Prior to 2006, the Ignika must've been pretty bored sitting in a hole with nothing to do. Now it has a life and friends, and it would be forced to give that up if it used up all it's energy. If it did use up all it's energy it also wouldn't be able to sustain its body.

This is go theory, but needs more evedence.

On the S&T scale, it's closer to a estimation.

If I find anything mre to back this theory up I will happilly send you a PM

Really, all theories are educated guess work. You have done really well here.

It would only be forced to give up Toa Ignika's life and friends if it had to lose its body.

I think it would take a little more than the Ignika to loose its body to be able to wake Mata Nui up. What I'm suggesting is that in the process the Ignika runs out of energy. This is also actually pretty helpful for the story team, as the Ignika is a loose end and if they were to tie it up by draining it so that it was no more than a mere lump of metal, then that saves Greg a lot of time explaining what Toa Ignika is doing now. There wouldn't be any Toa Ignika because the Ignika is no longer sentient, simply useless



Thank you very much

Oh yeah, I remember reading about the Klakk's power on BS01. Good point.

There's one major thing you've forgotten about here: It's the Toa Nuva's destiny to wake up Mata Nui.

I thought of that when I was thinking that, but actually, I really can't remember Greg ever saying that it was the Toa Nuvas destiny to wake up Mata Nui. Can any of you?

or something like this from Toa Nuva blog.
I think the Makuta in KN already know about the energy storms.
I don't think Mata Nui will be able to wipe out the makuta. Teridax's plan involves MN awakening, so I don't think that he'll leave his best makuta to their death.
