The summoning to scout Umarak#

EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness., reading the rising threat, sent Agil to find out what the Hunter was doing.

Agil's scout ranged across the Destroyer's movements and identified the object of his work: the assembly of the fragments of the Mask of Ultimate PowerMask of Ultimate PowerA heretical Kanohi forged by Makuta of Okoto that contained the powers of all six elements and ruined the Mask Makers' civilization the moment it was worn. scattered after the Battle of the Mask Makers, and the use of those fragments together with the stolen weapons of the ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. and the Light energies of EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. himself to reopen the portal to the Shadow RealmShadow DimensionAn alternate dimension sealed forever after Makuta was pulled in by the Mask of Ultimate Power's destruction, then trapped by the Toa's combined elemental assault.. Agil closed within striking distance during the reconnaissance, marked the Destroyer with a single scratch from his talons, and withdrew. The Creature returned to EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. with what he had seen, and the briefing the Mask MakerThe Mask MakersThe two legendary craftsmen of Okoto, Ekimu and Makuta, who forged the island's Kanohi and whose rivalry ended in the cataclysm at Capital City. delivered to the ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. at the Region of StoneRegion of StoneThe northwestern desert region of Okoto, home of the Stone Tribe and the Protector of Stone, site of the Battle of the Mask Makers and the Black Crater, and the territory through which Pohatu hunted for the Golden Mask of Stone. before the final approach to the Black CraterBlack CraterThe vast depression in Okoto's Region of Stone, left when the Mask of Ultimate Power drew Capital City into the Shadow Realm, and the site from which Umarak later raised the Black Volcano. drew on Agil's report rather than on indirect intelligence.

The capability that underwrote the briefing was the Light-based sharing of vision. Agil could replay what he had seen for others, and the Mask MakerThe Mask MakersThe two legendary craftsmen of Okoto, Ekimu and Makuta, who forged the island's Kanohi and whose rivalry ended in the cataclysm at Capital City. and the ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. accordingly received the Destroyer's movements first-hand rather than in summary. The intelligence shaped the final approach and the timing of the assault on the Black VolcanoBlack VolcanoThe volcano that Umarak raised from the Black Crater on the former site of Capital City, atop which the second portal to the Shadow Realm formed and the Okoto campaign was decided. the Destroyer had begun to raise over the Black CraterBlack CraterThe vast depression in Okoto's Region of Stone, left when the Mask of Ultimate Power drew Capital City into the Shadow Realm, and the site from which Umarak later raised the Black Volcano..

The Black Volcano and the decisive blast#

The final engagement at the Black VolcanoBlack VolcanoThe volcano that Umarak raised from the Black Crater on the former site of Capital City, atop which the second portal to the Shadow Realm formed and the Okoto campaign was decided. brought Agil's partnership with EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. to its decisive expression. The ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. had marched on the rising volcano with EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. and Agil at their side, and at the foot of the structure the Destroyer's shadow extended over the team and cut their elemental powers off at the source. The ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. were pinned: their elements would not answer, and without their elements the assault could not proceed.

EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. had earlier infused himself with the power of Light at the Temple of LightThe Temple of LightThe great temple at the center of Mata Nui where the Mask of Light was placed, the Toa of Light was born, and the gate to Mangaia opened beneath the floor. in preparation for the engagement. With Agil at his side at the volcano, the Mask MakerThe Mask MakersThe two legendary craftsmen of Okoto, Ekimu and Makuta, who forged the island's Kanohi and whose rivalry ended in the cataclysm at Capital City. and the Creature combined. The union produced a Toa of LightToa of LightThe sole Toa wielding the Element of Light through the Avohkii mask, singular and feared by Makuta itself.-form expression of the two together and discharged a blast of Light directed against the Destroyer's hold. The blast broke the shadow that pinned the ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. and freed the team to fight. The Light then faded, and EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. returned to his normal form, the combined expression spent and the partnership returned to its working configuration of Creature and Mask MakerThe Mask MakersThe two legendary craftsmen of Okoto, Ekimu and Makuta, who forged the island's Kanohi and whose rivalry ended in the cataclysm at Capital City. side by side.

The decisive contribution at the volcano belonged to Agil as much as to EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness.. Without the Creature's Light to combine with the Mask MakerThe Mask MakersThe two legendary craftsmen of Okoto, Ekimu and Makuta, who forged the island's Kanohi and whose rivalry ended in the cataclysm at Capital City.'s, the blast that broke the shadow would not have been mustered. The ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. would have remained pinned beneath the Destroyer's hold, the elemental powers that the final sealing of MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City. required would not have been available, and the campaign would have stalled at the volcano's foot. The Creature of Light's role in the campaign therefore turned, at its decisive moment, on a single combined discharge that the partnership with EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. had been preserved to deliver.

Powers, abilities, and partnership form#

Agil's powers were Light-based. The Creature could project Light directly in combat, share his vision with others as a transmissible record of what he had seen, and combine with EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. in the way the ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. combined with their elemental Creatures, producing a unified expression that scaled both partners' output beyond what either could muster alone. The combat option of last resort was the talon strike, used to mark the Destroyer during the scouting mission.

The partnership form between Agil and EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. carried structural significance. Six Creature-Toa pairings had been arranged to open the Labyrinth of ControlThe Labyrinth of ControlThe shifting maze on an island off Okoto's Region of Jungle where the Elemental Creatures hid the Mask of Control, and where Umarak the Hunter stole it from the Toa. and the way to the Mask of ControlThe Mask of ControlThe Kanohi of mind control once worn by Makuta of Okoto, hidden by the Elemental Creatures, sought by the Toa, and lost with Umarak the Destroyer at the Black Crater.. The seventh union, between Agil and EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness., did not concern the LabyrinthThe Labyrinth of ControlThe shifting maze on an island off Okoto's Region of Jungle where the Elemental Creatures hid the Mask of Control, and where Umarak the Hunter stole it from the Toa.. It concerned the final confrontation with UmarakUmarakUmarak hunted the Elemental Creatures of Okoto until the Mask of Control bound him to Makuta's will and remade him as the Destroyer., the moment at which the Destroyer's shadow would otherwise have prevented the ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. from acting. The pairing was therefore the seventh column of the same architecture: six pairings to open the second campaign, one to bring it to a close.
