So I was rereading the BIONICLE Legends books, and a thought struck me. Why did Velika allow the Piraka to take over Voya Nui. Now, I know he was a Matoran, and could only do so much, (or so it seems given how easily he took out Tren Krom and Karzahni later in the story, but I'll get back to that later) but hear me out. The whole conquest of Voya Nui hinged on tricking the Matoran into thinking that the Piraka were actually Toa. At least long enough until Zaktan fixed up the way to create Zamor spheres. So, why did Velika go along with their charade? He knew what Toa looked like. He knew what Skakdi were. AND I'm willing to bet he knew that the Ignika was under Voya Nui, so visitors to the island probably were up to no good. Now you may say that he kept his mouth shut because he was afraid of retribution from the Piraka when the Matoran knew instantly who the piraka were. Or maybe he didn't want his cover blown as a great being, so therefore only spoke in riddles and hints to "help" and not give all the answers away completely. I can buy that, but it's still a big risk to take considering loosing the mask of life would basically be fatal to the universe as a whole. We all see later that he is perfectly capable of taking care of himself (as shown later with the late Tren Krom and Karzahni) so he probably wasn't afraid of the Piraka themselves. He very frequently helped the Voya Nui Resistance, and the Toa Inika (and Nuva) on different occasions. Of course when they met the Toa Nuva after their defeat of the Piraka, the Matoran attacked them believing they were allies of the Piraka (Velika again, would know that this time they were actually Toa). So what do you guys think? Do you think it's all just a fluke from creating a character and then later deciding he's a Great Being? Or do you think that Velika had different motives for letting the Piraka basically control the island that housed the universes greatest weapon ever? Let me know, I'm interested in discussing this.

I was just reading through BS01, and I noticed that of the six Matoran that were suspicious of the newcoming "Toa" (Piraka), it was Balta and Garan that found out the truth. Highlight above for "spoiler".
