In the story , the Stars sets feature characters fighting on Bara Magna . Background . Mata Nui , who has now taken over the body of a huge prototype robot , needs to rejoin the planet Bara Magna with the planet fragments Bota Magna and Aqua Magna . However , the prototype robot is too weak to pull the planets together with a gravity blast . Makuta , haven taken over the giant robot the spirit Mata Nui once inhabited , arrives on Bara Magna to defeat his brother . As the two robots begin to battle , the veteran Glatorian Gresh finds a small door in Makuta ' s foot . He wrenches it open , only to find that it is filled with Rahkshi of Heat Vision and Skakdi . Gresh quickly ducks behind a rock as the enemies storm out . Later , Takanuva , the Toa of Light , emerges from the door . Gresh assumes he is another invader and attacks him . Discovering that they are fighting for the same side , they bond quickly and join the fight against the forces of Makuta . The Skrall , once defeated by Mata Nui in his Glatorian form , seek revenge and join the battle on the side of Makuta . Tahu Nuva Mistika , the Toa of Fire , finds himself on Bara Magna . Mata Nui sends out the Kanohi Ignika , The Mask of Life , to turn Tahu into his mata form creating a suit of golden armour . It informs him that he needs to wear the armour to defeat Makuta and his minions . Before Tahu is able to take it , however , Makuta sends out a blast of energy that scatters the armour over the battlefield . He meets up with Takanuva and Gresh , who agree to help him recover the pieces . Meanwhile , Makuta threatens to destroy the planet with a blast of gravity , but Mata Nui manages to turn the blast away . It hits the fragments of Aqua Magna and Bota Magna , which begin to drift towards Bara Magna . Eventually , they find all the pieces and Tahu puts the armour on , which causes raw energy to pulse through him and strike the Kraata of every Rahkshi on the battlefield , switching the Rahkshi off . Sensing this , Makuta gets distracted for a moment . Mata Nui sees his chance and pushes his brother into the path of an oncoming fragment of the planet Bota Magna . The fragment slams into his head , shattering the systems of the robot and killing him . The Skakdi and Skrall surrender , and Bota and Aqua Magna rejoin with Bara Magna , forming the original planet of Spherus Magna . In order to help the Toa , Matoran and Glatorian , Mata Nui uses his last reserves of energy to fill the planets surface with plants and wildlife , creating a paradise . The prototype robot dissolves , and Mata Nui returns into the Kanohi Ignika . He announces that he will stay in the mask , so he won ' t be part of any further conflict .
