The Hunt Below#

Beneath the Codrex, a network of stone tunnels ran through absolute darkness. The Jetrax T6Jetrax T6An ice-element airship stolen by Makuta Antroz in the climax of the Karda Nui conflict., supercharged by AntrozAntrozMakuta commander who led the Phantoka assault on Karda Nui and pilot of the Jetrax T6, ultimately outmaneuvered by Kopaka's superior strategy.'s piloting, tore through the passages with reckless speed that most pilots would have crashed into. Behind it came the Rockoh T3, with PohatuPohatuPohatu was the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva of Stone, guardian of Po-Wahi, whose speed and steady humour anchored the team through every era of the Matoran Universe. pushing the machine to its absolute limits, and the Axalara T9Axalara T9A sleek airborne tank equipped with Midak Skyblasters, the Axalara T9 was Lewa's weapon when air superiority mattered most in Karda Nui. with LewaLewaToa of Air, member of the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva, whose career was marked by repeated possession, body theft, and aerial campaigns from Le-Wahi to Karda Nui. fighting to keep up. The MakutaMakuta (Species)Shadowy Antidermis beings and the Brotherhood's elite, Makuta commanded darkness and shaped the Matoran Universe's fate. flew the Jetrax like a weapon itself, trying to crash it into both pursuing vehicles at once in a desperate gambit.

He was hunting, trying to survive long enough to see what happened next when Mata NuiMata Nui (Location)An island created by accident on the Great Spirit's face, home to the Matoran for a thousand years. finally woke. But the Toa kept pace. Their machines responded to their driving, keeping them in the hunt through every twist and dead end, every sudden chamber and narrow corridor, until the cavern itself seemed to shake with engine roar. By 2008's end, when Mata NuiMata Nui (Location)An island created by accident on the Great Spirit's face, home to the Matoran for a thousand years. awoke, Karda NuiKarda NuiThe vast inner cavern at the core of the Matoran Universe, original home of the Av-Matoran, site of the Codrex and the final battle that decided the fate of Mata Nui. would become a grave of stone.
