Plot
The Fujioka family members, Icriro, Mizuki, Ren, Jiro and Hana travel to the local hall near El Kadsre City. They soon run into trouble when the mysterious force occur, which almost made Ichiro collide with a truck, then barely getting the group to safety to the hall. As they entered the hall, Jiro encountered Andy, one of his friends, who gave Jiro a audio cassette player and the blank clear audiotape.

As Jiro enters the restroom, he inserted the audiotape and played it. However when Jiro plays it, he hears a unknown man who recorded the tape, reciting a series of incantations, resurrecting the all-powerful being known as the Makuta - alleged to have cast the Great Spirit Mata Nui (a venerated being of whom the island is named after) into a deep sleep. A large group of Rahi crashes the ball party in the hall and attacking everybody in the hall.

Now, Makuta has taken control of the Rahi, the island's fauna, to attack the the people and the suburbs of El Kadsre City.

Tahu - Toa of Fire; Gali - Toa of Water; Lewa - Toa of Air; Onua - Toa of Earth; Pohatu - Toa of Stone and Kopaka - Toa of Ice. Carrying formidable tools to channel their elemental energies and donning great 'Kanohi' masks of power, the Toa remember nothing of their former lives except their names. Prior to meeting each other, they rebuild themselves on the seashores and travel to one of the six villages on the island, where they learn of the Matoran's war against the Rahi.

The Toa soon join the conflict, and with the aid of the Matoran and their Turaga leaders, begin searching for more Kanohi masks, each of which possess a different ability. Collecting six each, they exchange their masks for Golden Kanohi that carry the power of all their former ones and descend underground to face Makuta.

Prior to arriving at the villain's lair, they form two Toa Kaita (titan beings created when Toa fuse together) to challenge Makuta's Manas crabs and battle dark manifestations of themselves dubbed "Shadow Toa". When the Toa arrive, Makuta appears in the form of a Matoran to trick them, but then transforms into a swirling vortex of tentacles and rusty machine parts. They defeat the Makuta by combining their elemental powers onto him.

Triumphant, the heroes return to the surface. But Takua, having secretly followed the Toa down, discovers a large hive of cocoons hidden away from the battle site. He sees one burst open, but quickly escapes back to the surface before he can learn more.
