She trained alongside the fire tribe Glatorian Ackar, and in one practice match in Vulcanus he tripped her up with his flame sword before the two stopped to watch a shining object descend from the sky. That object proved to be the Kanohi Ignika, which landed in the desert of Bara Magna.

When Mata Nui arrived and was offered the role of Glatorian by Metus, Kiina listened in from the shadows. After Metus left, she emerged, thrilled by Mata Nui's account of worlds beyond Bara Magna and proven right in her own belief that other worlds existed. She noticed the Scarabax beetle on Mata Nui's shoulder and gave it the name Click. Kiina told Mata Nui and Ackar of a secret cavern near her village where she had discovered ancient technology, agreeing to take them there only on the condition that Mata Nui take her with him when he eventually left for his own world.

Traveling toward Tajun through Sandray Canyon in Kiina's Thornatus, the group realized they were being pursued by Bone Hunters, and a Skopio appeared to block their path. Mata Nui took control of the Skopio's Thornax Launcher to save Kiina and Ackar, then severed an outcropping of the canyon to collapse it onto the creature. Reaching Tajun, they found the village destroyed and a wounded Gresh, who revealed before passing out that the Bone Hunters and Skrall had united.

Kiina continued to fight beside her fellow Glatorian. When the desert bandit Sahmad challenged Ackar and Kiina in his Baranus V7 on the outskirts of the Agori's Mega-Village, the two used their Elemental Powers to subdue him and rejoined Gresh to return to the city. Throughout, Kiina voiced her concern over Mata Nui's mission to the north and his insistence on continuing alone.

After Teridax's defeat, Mata Nui's spirit was drawn back into the Ignika, and the inhabitants of Spherus Magna and the Matoran Universe watched as he gave his parting words before returning to the mask. When Kiina questioned whether Mata Nui was now truly dead, Tahu told her he was not, and reminded her that the best way to honor him would be to build a world where the Matoran and Agori could live in peace together. Kiina remained on the reformed Spherus Magna that followed.
