The newly made Mata NuiMata NuiBuilt by the Great Beings to restore Spherus Magna, Mata Nui sustained an entire civilisation inside his body, was deposed by Teridax, and reclaimed his purpose as a mortal on Bara Magna. almost stepped on him. Click then climbed onto Mata Nui's shoulder and touched the Ignika. (BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn)

The mask turned the beetle into a living shield. The change wasn't permanent: Click could switch between beetle and shield, and he stayed aware in both forms. (BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn)

First combat and the trip to VulcanusVulcanusThe Fire Tribe's settlement on Bara Magna, caught between resources and threats.#

The shield arrived just in time.

Afterwards the Ignika turned the shield back into a beetle. Mata Nui tried to let him go, but Click refused and crawled back up onto his shoulder. (BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn)

From then on the two travelled together, and Click went with Mata Nui to VulcanusVulcanusThe Fire Tribe's settlement on Bara Magna, caught between resources and threats., where Mata Nui fell in with the Glatorian AckarAckarVeteran Glatorian of the Fire Tribe and prime fighter for Vulcanus, Ackar served from the Core War through the defence of Spherus Magna. and later KiinaKiinaKiina is a Glatorian of the Water Tribe who served as the secondary Glatorian for the village of Tajun on Spherus Magna.

After Mata Nui brought down a rockslide that buried the Skopio, he rode the shield like a surfboard down the mountainside to rejoin his friends. (BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn)

On the way to Tesara, AckarAckarVeteran Glatorian of the Fire Tribe and prime fighter for Vulcanus, Ackar served from the Core War through the defence of Spherus Magna. paused to teach Mata Nui some fighting moves.

RoxtusRoxtusThe largest Agori village on Bara Magna and the seat of Tuma's Skrall, Roxtus was the centre of the Empire of the Skrall until Mata Nui defeated Tuma in single combat. and the rallying of the swarm#

Click's link to his own kind paid off at RoxtusRoxtusThe largest Agori village on Bara Magna and the seat of Tuma's Skrall, Roxtus was the centre of the Empire of the Skrall until Mata Nui defeated Tuma in single combat.. Mata Nui carried the shield in his fight against TumaTumaTuma rose from the survivors of the Baterra massacre to rule the Skrall Empire from Roxtus until Mata Nui defeated him in single combat. and won. Then, with the Skrall army about to attack, he let Click go to keep him safe. (BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn)

Click didn't run. He called his fellow ScarabaxScarabaxSmall desert beetles of Bara Magna, welcomed as helpful scavengers by most Agori but dismissed as vermin by the Skrall., and the beetles came together to form a huge being that frightened the Skrall. Click then made his way back to Mata Nui, with Kiina's help, and became the shield again for the battle that followed, which the Glatorian and Agori won. (BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn)

Afterwards, while Mata Nui and his friends were freeing a trapped Thornatus, Click spotted Metus, who had been turned into a snake, trying to push a boulder down on them. Metus chased the beetle and cornered him, but Click called in more Scarabax, and together they dealt with the snake. (Metus' Revenge)

Powers and constitution#

Like any other Scarabax, Click had no natural powers of his own. Touching the Ignika gave him the ability to switch between beetle form and Mata Nui's scarab shield, staying conscious throughout. His eyes stayed on the front of the shield, so he could still see what was happening around him. (BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn)

He was also curious by nature, staying behind to look at Mata Nui when the other beetles fled. Click was later released as a small set of his own. (BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn; Click)

Final disposition and significance#

Click went with Mata Nui into the Great VolcanoThe Great VolcanoThe volcano in the country north of the desert of Bara Magna that the Element Lord of Fire claimed as his seat and inside which the Ta-Matoran later settled with the Fire Tribe on Spherus Magna. and made it clear he didn't like the place. When Mata Nui was about to power up the Prototype RobotThe Prototype RobotThe Great Beings' earlier and unstable attempt at the design that became the Great Spirit Robot, scattered across the Bara Magna desert and reassembled by the villages to carry Mata Nui into the final battle with Teridax., he gave Click to KiinaKiinaKiina is a Glatorian of the Water Tribe who served as the secondary Glatorian for the village of Tajun on Spherus Magna.

Click is one of the few creatures in the story changed by direct contact with the Ignika, and his shield was the main defence of Mata Nui's Glatorian-sized body from his first fight onwards. The swarm he called up at Roxtus also showed that a single Scarabax could rally a great many others when it counted. (BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn; Metus' Revenge)
