6,092 years ago, there was a cave. In the cave, a visorak base. Leading the 100,000,000+ visorak, a Makuta named Vatun. A Toa named Reva had defeated Vatun long ago. Now, Vatun wanted revenge. He sent three Rahkshii to destroy Reva Nui. The plan backfired. The Rahkshii destroyed Reva Nui's stability, sending it hurtling down. The island of Reva Nui crashed through the cave roof! Reva Nui crushed the visorak base, and shattered Vatun's armor, letting his spirit leak out. The Reva nui matoran think he is dead. They were wrong. Vatun attacked, helping Teridax, the leader of The Brotherhood of Makuta. They fought, but lost to a yellow-clad warrior named Mata Nui. But Teridax made one last move, sending the Mask of Life deep into the ground. Now, evil warriors are looking for the mask…
Deep underground, Reva Bugs saw the shadows move. Or, they were thinking that was what they saw. Instead, someone was moving in the shadows! He saw light up ahead. He stepped closer. It was a glowing mask. The Makuta named Rihan grabed the mask. "The Mask of Life is mine!" he yelled, so loud the Reva Bugs scrambled to and fro. "I don't think so," said a Toa of Fire. The Toa was Taran, Toa Reva of Fire. He launched a fireball at Rihan, who jumped away, and right in the path of a drill… which had been thrown by a Matoran named Vilika. The drill hit Rihan, knocking him out. It was all the Toa and Matoran needed to get away.
Vilika walked to a cave. After he split up from Taran, he had pondered what he had been told. He was to take the mask to Kini Ridge, to ask Turaga Reva what to do. Vilika chose to find an Onu-Reva tunnel, then walk through it until he got to Coliseum Mountain. Then he would hike up to Kini Ridge. He heard something! He looked where the sound came from, then wished he hadn't. A Rahkshi was ready to attack! Then, a dark figure jumped from the shadows and landed on the Rahkshi's head! A Toa had come! His name was Onuran. Onuran hit the Rahkshi in the head! The Rahkshi ran out of the tunnel.
Vilika was walking in the Jungle. Onuran said it was safer. Coliseum Mountain was up ahead! After half a minute, Vilika was in the Great Rockfeilds. The Coliseum Mountain was in the middle. His thoughts were disturbed as a flash of heat hit him. He turned. A warrior of fire was slowly walking forward, no doubt wanting the mask. "Give me the mask." he said. "Never!" said Vilika. "I will make you a Toa." "NO!" Vilika jumped away, but the evil warrior took the mask, which exploded in energy, all aimed at the fire warrior, blasting him to the ground. The mask leapt from his hand, and into Vilika's, who ran for his life.
Vilika was at the top of Kini Ridge. He looked down. There was no sign of Turaga Reva. A slight shift in the temperature told him he was not alone. Vilika dived to the side, even as a blast of fire scorched the place where he had stood. The fire warrior advanced on Vilika. Then, he ''heard" a voice in his mind, saying Put on the mask. Vilika saw the warrior reach for the mask, and knew he had no choice. He dropped his mask, then put The Mask of Life on his face. Energy exploded everywhere. The warrior flew back, forced by the power of the blast. Vilika climbed to his feet. His new name was Vireva.
