"Ah — but that is the ultimate question, is it? What happened to this world? Who am I? Where did the original Elder come from? Who are the Great Beings? What do they want from this world?" - The Elder, the Grand Creation
About the Grand Creation
The Grand Creaion is the third serial to be produced for Ancient Chronicle, the currently leading project of the fan-based organization Mata Nui Incorporated. In-story, the Great Beings' leader, the Elder has been pushing the creation of a testing robot for over a decade, and abusing the Great Beings after his rise to power several centuries ago.
Two Great Beings will decide to put an end to this experiment, as well as this Elder - but they soon find out it's harder than they though. The Elder then assigns several Agori and Glatorian to uncover the truth. Slowly, this team finds themselves digging even deeper than they thought, as they unravel a conspiracy that has been running for eons.
Northern Region
The Northern Region is the area of Spherus Magna north of the Black Spike and White Quartz Mountain, and where most of the Grand Creation takes place. It includes a vast expansion, where the Tower of the Tower of the Great Beings, Magnacus Renata and the Prototype Robot is being constructed.
Magnacus Renata (Valley of the Maze)
Magnacus Renata is the city that is located around the Great Beings' Tower. Ordered to be construcged by the first Elder, the city functioned as a multi-national capital, until it became - not long ago - the primary headquarters of the Fire Tribe. It was then named "Magnacus Reborn", or "Magnacus Renata", symbolizing the Fire Tribe's return to Magnacus, the former kingdom that was located in the same valley. Eventually, it becomes the "Valley of the Maze".
Tower of the Great Beings
Home, spaceship and HQ to the Great Beings, the tower landed to the world thousands of years ago. A whole city has been built around it, as it provides unlimited energy to all its surroundings. Inside it are thousands of rooms, facilities and equipment that have been used by the Great Beings over the eons. By the time of the shattering, all rooms would have been configured to be hidden and unable to be reached by physical means.
Robot Construction Facilities
There are three teleportation-proof facilities:
- the Main construction facility is located within the city, and it's attached to the Tower.
- the control facility is located inside the Robot Platform, attached to the walls; it's where the security team works, it is used as a transportation station between the assembly line and the main facility.
- the Assembly line is based off supports and scaffolds surronding the robot, and it's where the robot is assembled, and a transportation station between the Tower and the main facility.
Robot Platform
A big flat platform, where the robot is being assembled by smaller ones. It is running on the same power as the Tower does, and has at least one building were the security team has established their HQ. ALso, it's possible to quickly access it from inside the city without having to pass through the gates.
Prototype Robot
The prototype is fully mechanical and incorporates none of the nanotechnology used in the Matoran Universe. It had an unstable power source, which was the cause of its destruction. Also unlike the Matoran Universe, there was no spirit guiding the robot, making it non-sentient. The robot does have a number of offensive and defensive arrays, and is capable of emitting power and gravitational beams. It is approximately 27,000,000 feet tall, two-thirds the height of the Matoran Universe.
Magma Complex
An old fortress of the Magma Tribe from Altum Bellum, half of it has been submerged into the ground. It becomes the temporary HQ of Invidior and Osavus.

"Ah — but that is the ultimate question, is it? What happened to this world? Who am I? Where did the original Elder come from? Who are the Great Beings? What do they want from this world?" - The Elder, the Grand Creation
About the Grand Creation
The Grand Creaion is the third serial to be produced for Ancient Chronicle, the currently leading project of the fan-based organization Mata Nui Incorporated. In-story, the Great Beings' leader, the Elder has been pushing the creation of a testing robot for over a decade, and abusing the Great Beings after his rise to power several centuries ago.
Two Great Beings will decide to put an end to this experiment, as well as this Elder - but they soon find out it's harder than they though. The Elder then assigns several Agori and Glatorian to uncover the truth. Slowly, this team finds themselves digging even deeper than they thought, as they unravel a conspiracy that has been running for eons.
Background
- Spoiler:
- The Grand Creation is set 150,234 years before the Great Catclysim and the reformation of Spherus Magna, and 50,234 years before the Shattering.
Around 556 years ago (150,790 BGC), the Elder is leading an established peaceful society that required little effort to run, with Atero taking up the role of the capital. All the great beings followed and looked up to the Elder, as he was the one and truly leader of their clan. It was him that could peak into the future and brought them to Spherus Magna, invented and created the seven tribes system.
However, the Elder had forgotten their true purpose and guided the Great Beings to become protectors of Spherus Magna, rather than scientists. They had become so occupied with politics and inventions that improve the people's lifestyles, that one Great Being, Protasious, stopped believing in him. Enraged for forgetting their true purpose, they would daily argue this subject. One of these times, Protasious' anger overcame his reason, and he drew his sword, stabbing the Elder in the chest. This release of anger changed Protasious, and he, having "awoken", erased all evidence of the Elder's death and destroyed his body by throwing it in the main reactor.
He assumed control of the Great Beings, and presented the idea of passing on the birth title of the Elder, something that was accepted by most named Great Beings, but refused by the majority. He spent the next years killing over fifty Great Beings, until everyone had accepted him as the new Elder. After he became the offical Elder, he banned any activities related to managing the government of Spherus Magna. He himself devoted into remastering the former Elder's Psionic powers, while the rest of the Great Beings kept running various experiments, mostly serving his goals.
His actual rule lasted only 300 years, as his control begun to derail. He recruited four elite Agori warriors, which in turn recruited thousands of Glatorian to serve "in the name of the Great Beings". Along with the Elder, they founded the Oder of the Hidden. Around 10,000 Glatorian lead by four elite Agori generals would do the Elder's bidding as assassins, secret agents, traders, and social leaders, spreading a false cause all over Spherus Magna, and maintaining his rule. The Order members were known for wearing dark red and pale blue robes with the glowing symbols, having become the new occupying force of Spherus Magna - feared by most, as the Elder liked it.
However, 200 years later, a member of the order and a freedom fighter, rose a rebellion within the Order and revealed it's existence to the public. His men assassinated all generals except one - Varonis. Under the Elder's commands, Varonis terminated the rebellion by killing every rebel, leaving the order with just 200 agents. The Elder and Protasious made a deal to split the men, prodvided they both keep quiet about the event.
Varonis' men were reduced into mercenaries-for-hire, living in the sewers of Renata. Four henchmen were incharge of running it - the ones that will be recruited by Varonis to help the Great Beings later. Varonis himself became a secret leader, and resorted into an assistant of the Great Beings. Meanwhile, the Elder created a mental shield that turned most of his men into sleeper agents - they became part of the society, still doing tasks for him.
Most of the records were erased, and the rebellion was covered up, leading most to believing the Order was only a legend. In the next 46 years, the Great Beings became concerned of the Elder - that's when he used Invidior's project, modified it to achieve his goals, and kept everyone occupied for the next 10 years.
This is where the Grand Creation begins.
Storyboard
- Spoiler:
- Prologue- After working late at night in the Great Beings' tower, Varonis accidentally overhears a conversation between two Great Beings, Invidior and Osavus; they plan to stop the robot's launch for their own selfish reasons.
Writing: Skarloth
- The Elder's been abusing Invidior for quite sometime, letting him work on the project only when he needed him. Together with Osavus, they both realize they must put an end to this menace - and the Elder's plans.Chapter 1- The next morning, Rohkea arrives in the Fire Tribe city, where she meets Casiria, an old friend of her. After getting into some trouble with the city's guard, Ackar, they both manage to find sometime to talk.
Writing: Riglax
- Their time together is brief though, as Casiria becomes nervous and flees the City's Market. However, she gives a letter to Rohkea to be delivered at Angonce, and tells her to visit Galintin, the Iron Glatorian that manages the forge of the City where she can apply for a job.
- After Angonce orders Raanu and Ackar to watch out the Towers' main entrance, he attends the meeting the Elder ordered some hours earlier.
- The Elder explains to everyone the true purpose of their meeting - that if anyone is to believe the rumors that have been spreading, or act against his will, he will be exiled.
- Both Invidior and Osavus state that the robot is wrong, and go against the Elder. On the opposite side stands Heremus, who by fear of losing his power as a Great Being backs up the Elder, while still knowing it's wrong.
- The Elder, enraged, exiles Invidior and Osavus.
- After Ackar and Raanu arrive in the main market district, Raanu finds himself chasing down a thief who has robbed some exsidian off a Water Agori Trader, Pomerax.
- Raanu and Ackar catch up with him; unfortunately, he is able to overpower them both, when he demonstrates his Psionic power, allowing him to suck their Stamina and perform powerful mental attacks.
- The thief walks away, leaving the crowd wondering what had just happened.
- Invidior informs Osavus of his new ally, Varonis, who reveals to them a greater secret.Chapter 2- Raanu has managed to regain his powers, and attempts to capture the thief again. It is too late - the thief teleports out of the scene. Before Ackar and Raanu can realize what's going on, a massive explosion is heard.
Writing: KNI
- Ackar's mental energy is being drained, and Pomerax, after introducing himself, tries to keep his mind occupied so he doesn't fall into a coma.
- Meanwhile, unknown to both of hem, Casiria is closing in for help.
- Rohkea is still terrified of what Casiria told her. She doesn't dare to open the letter. However, her line if thinking is broken by an Iron Agori, who seams to be heading into Galintin's Forgery - the place Casiria told her about.
- One their way to the forgery, the two learn more about each other, as Rohkea becomes all and more open towards the Agori, which seems to have a sense of higher intelligence. Almost as if he's reading her mind.
- Once they arrive at the Forgery, the Agori transforms into the Great Being Raeir. Rohkea attempts to show him Casiria's letter, but backs off, thinking it was only meant for Angonce.
- Before Rohkea manages to take a good look at the forgery, a short and yet gigantic complex, a terrible sound is heard. The complex blows up, throwing debris all over the surrounding area. Agori and Glatorian are rushing to escape the flames. A Glatorian that is trapped in the debris is rescued by Rohkea.
- His name is Galintin. He was the leader of the former Iron Tribe Forgery in Renata. He explains to Rohkea that the fire was triggered by a pale blue cloaked thief, the same one that Raanu has been hunting for.
- Seconds thereafter, Raanu, Pomerax and Casiria arrive, along with Ackar, who has been feeling much better ever since the explosion.
- Rohkea and Raanu, after introducing to each other search for the thief. They find him already dead, trapped under debris. Galintin had managed to trap him.
- As the fires settle down, they are stumbled by their discovery - they uncover a scroll written from the Elder himself in the thief's possession, ordering him to copy some blueprints, steal several pounds of existian, and destroy the complex to get rid of the blueprints. His pale blue robes bear a strange symbol as well - the same one Casiria's wearing - who has mysteriously disappeared, to Rohkea's surprise.
- Galintin explains to everyone these blueprints are for the robot's power source.
- At the Great Being Tower, Varonis meets with the Elder and reveals to him Osavus and Invidior's plans.Chapter 3- Varonis introduces to Osavus and Invidior, four mercenaries/henchmen that he has assigned to help them - Silex, Avarus, Robur and Ferveon.
Writing: Captain Marvel
- The Elder meets one of his sleeper agents, Casiria, and orders her to stop assisting mere citizens. He blames her for the other agent's failure, threatening to kill her.
- Ackar, Rohkea, Galintin, Raanu and Pomerax are puzzled as to what to do next. Before the group breaks up, Raanu and Ackar decide to arrest everyone and present this information at the Elder.
- Convinced that the Elder has something to do with the letter, Ackar tries to persuade Raanu not to show him the letter, but fails. He steals the scroll and hides it away while the Elder questions the others.
- Raanu and Ackar explain to the Elder what has happened. After hearing what Raanu and Ackar had to say, the Elder rises and gives a choice to Galintin, Rohkea and Pomerax.
- Seeing it as a way to keep close a possible threat, he offers them a unique work opportunity. They would work together with Raanu and Ackar, as head team of the robot's security force, making sure that nothing happens until it's launched.
- As Galintin, Rohkea and Pomerax had all lost their jobs recently, they accept. The Elder makes one more addition, Varonis, who has been watching all this time. Ackar is crowned leader of the team and head of security.
- Meanwhile, Osavus and Invidior arrive at an abandon Magma Complex, outside the city of Renata. The henchmen start playing around with various machines, and manage to get the two Great Beings angry.
- One week has passed, and Ackar requests a meeting between Galintin, Rohkea, Raanu, Pomerax, and Varonis and him to take place.
- They address the letter's content, while Rohkea's shows everyone Casiria's letter. The team is once again puzzled as to what to do. Varonis tries to push everyone to tell the Elder. Ackar, growing tired of Varonis supporting the Elder storms out of the HQ in the Platform and heads for the Tower.
- He stalks Osavus, who is visited by Invidior and overhears a conversation between them. They discuss about their plan to destroy the robot, which goes as follows; a lot henchmen groups will emerge from the sewers and riot in the front gate, while they bypass the lowered security, and start a “de-attach program” which is going to remove the scaffolds and the supports of the robot, thus making it collapse.
- Surprisingly, they mention Varonis' robe, and the "Order of the Hidden". Ackar is confused, as all he's getting is vague information.
- Casiria is watching in the background.Chapter 4- Invidior and Osavus sense Ackar’s presence, and order the henchmen to capture him. Before they can finish him off, Casiria jumps out of dark and overpowers them in combat easily. Invidior and Osavus try to make a run for it, but Ackar signals the alarm.
Writing: HahliNuva
- The guards arrive at the courtyard, and Invidior quickly captures Ackar as a hostage, and threatens the team (which just arrived), and Casiria, that Ackar will die if the Great Beings and henchmen aren’t allowed to walk out of the city safely. Casiria doesn’t seem to care, but Rohkea does. She gently pushes Casiria away, and orders everyone to lower their weapons. Invidior, Osavus, Ackar and the henchmen walk safely outside of the city, before getting on Sand Stalkers and riding away.
- Varonis, self-proclaimed the new leader stops Galintin from following them. Pomerax and Raanu argue against it.
- After making sure they aren’t followed in the Magma Complex, they imprison Ackar in an electric shell. However, Osavus doesn't feel that this way of action is necessary, but follows Invidior’s lead.
- Ackar is surprised to discover that Varonis is a traitor, and has been helping Invidior and Osavus. Invidior taunts Ackar, but Osavus stops him before he orders the henchmen to beat him up.
- Having prepared the attack, Invidior, Osavus and Varonis leave the Magma Complex, and head up for the city. They are going to use underground tunnels to directly travel through the city, and enter the main construction facility attached to the Tower.
- Hechmen groups gather at the gates - unable to ignore mass murdering of innocents, and with Varonis' help, Galintin, Rohkea, Pomerax and Raanu team up with forty guards to face the henchmen.
- In the meantime, the two Great Beings have already breached into the robot’s construction facilities, and have already begun to execute the program.
- Before they go through with it, a cloaked Glatorian attacks them, and manages to stab Invidior. Osavus, desperate, calls back Varonis. In turn, Varonis calls the four henchmen for help.
- The Elder enters the construction facilities as well, and places the whole facility into lockdown.
- When the four henchmen retreated, the rest were left without a leader - the guards of the city easily arrested and placed everything under control by killing most of them.
- The team is at loss. They are completely blank as to what to do, until Casiria arrives in the site again...Chapter 5- Hundreds of miles away, the Magma Complex’s power supply is running low. Power is cut off on the cage Ackar is in, thus relishing him.
Writing: Dovydas
- Ackar steals whatever he can find – blueprints, files, even a map with some weird catacombs running all over the city, as well as a map that leads into the Magma complex. He proceeds to ride a sand stalker as fast as he can, back into the city.
- Back at the main control room, the henchmen have overpowered the cloaked agent, and successfully killed him.
- Galintin isn't trusting Casiria this easily; he demands to know more about this whole agent business and the robes that everyone's wearing. She starts muttering about the Order of the Hidden, a forgotten legend and sleeper agents, again, vague information. However, she does tell them the Elder has control of fifty sleeper agents all over the city.
- The team is shocked. Galintin begins to form a plan, but Pomerax already got his hands on a breakthrough. The guard’s swifts are extremely dull - some guards gather together in one point, leaving a fair mount of unguarded gaps.
- The Elder finds Invidior and Osavus in the control center. Invidior faces the Elder - he tells him he knows the truth, and he's never going to allow him to use his own invention for his purposes. The Order of the Hidden's fall is nothing compared to his true crime. Osavus breaks as well; he mentions years of abuse towards himself and the Great Beings. Inspired by Osavus' words, and by his madness, Invidior snaps and grabs the Elder by his neck, and pushes him into the wall.
- Invidior tells the Elder that the power source designed by him is meant to function currently, while the Elder's design doesn't; that’s why he stole his blueprints for agency.
- Galintin leads the team inside the facility after bypassing the guards using Casiria's/Rohkea's help and Pomerax's cunning plan.
- Ackar arrives in the city. He uses the map he retrieved earlier from the Elder to access the facility quickly, and specifically the main control room, the exact time Invidior is about to kill the Elder.Chapter 6- Ackar walks into the room, and fires his flame blade in the ground. Invidior trips over and falls. Ackar pushes his blade up Invidior's throat, demanding for answers. The team enters at the same time as well.
Writing: Legolover-361
- Invidior provides only information about his exit and abuse when creating the project of the robot, and not information on the Elder's true purposes, though he mentions the Elder is a power corrupted madman.
- The Elder keeps watching.
- Osavus depicts the truth about rhe Order of the Hidden. He talks about the Elder's efforts to keep everything under control, and how everything failed. He also talks about daily abuse of the Great Beings, including his own.
- Ackar's, Galintin's, Rohkea's, Raanu's and Pomerax's looks converge on the Elder. He confirms every single event taking place, and taunts Invidior and Osavus. The team has no idea what to believe.
- Suddenly, the Elder points Invidior at Varonis, who has been watching. Invidior asks Varonis what the Elder knows about the plan, at which point the Elder tells him Varonis is working for him as well.
- Invidior snaps completely. Driven to insanity, he uses his spear to stab Varonis, killing him. Meanwhile, Osavus orders the henchmen to attack the Elder and the team.
- The Elder slips away in the confusion.
- Meanwhile, with everyone getting distracted, Osavus finds a moment with himself and the controls. It takes him no longer than a minute to initialize the program. Immediately, the supports that hold the robot’s left leg are removed.
- The leg crumbles and falls on the platform, causing huge earthquakes that threaten the city. The catastrophic event overheats with data the super computer of the main facility. As the fight breaks off in confusion, Casiria is mortally stabbed by Invidior.
- Invidior is ruthless. He executes an auto-destruct program, which will vaporize anything inside the facility, including the facility itself. Invidior, Osavus and the four henchmen escape from the tunnels, which they lock behind themselves.
- Without someone to lift the lockdown, there’s nothing the team can do to save themselves. However, Rohkea receives a telepathic message from Angonce. He tells her the underground passage Ackar and the two Great Beings used can be bypassed, but only by hand. She has to pull a lever in the other side of the room. This means whoever does it wont have enough time to make it back before the door closes.
- Rohkea pulls the lever needed to open the hatch. She keeps it open for everyone to pass through, and then relishes it. She insists on being the one that stays behind.
- Casiria hits Rohkea in the head, and opens the hatch, sending her with the others. She tells Rohkea that her life is over, and that she should stop hating her self and live for a change.
- Ten Great Beings, hundreds of Agori and Glatorian workers are all vaporized as the complex next to the Tower is completely destroyed. Angonce, Heremus, Raeir and Morkoth watch along with Ackar, Galintin, Rohkea, Raanu and Pomerax the explosion.Chapter 7- Five months later, the team is still trying to track down Invidior, Osavus and the four remaining henchmen. The Elder has been locked into his room for the past few months, and the Great Beings have been secretive about their actions. Casiria's death was just the beginning of what's coming afterwards.
Writing: Riglax
- Ackar talks with Raeir, Angonce, Heremus and Morkoth. They explain to him that if the Elder, Protasious was to be taken care of, they could reform the Great Beings' council.
- Back at the Magma complex, Osavus has his doubts about this whole operation. All he ever wanted to do was to stop the robot, and not kill thousands. On the other hand, Invidior’s mental state is not good. His already shattered mind cannot accept the fact that he failed to destroy the robot. He meets up with Osavus, and explains to him that they need to take out the robot at any cost.
- Osavus makes the decision of leaving the complex, and flees despite Invidior's begging him to stay. He travels towards Renata, to inform the Team where Invidior is.
- Avarus, Robur, Ferveon and Silex have resorted into living in the Magma complex. Ferveon is quite fed up with living at the complex and pushes Avarus to talk to Invidior. Avarus does talk to Invidior, who is occupied with finding a way to destroy the robot. In his anger, he teleports all four of them away.
- This gives him an idea on how to destroy the robot easily, and much, much more with it.
- The leg of the robot has been restored, and everything is in place for the launch. A meeting takes place in which the Elder announces that today the robot will begin it's first test.
- Raanu contacts Ackar, and informs him that the Great Beings are going to launch the robot today, as their first test. Ackar is raged by this, as clearly Invidior stills posses a major threat.
- As the announcement is played out on all great media in Spherus Magna, thousands form around the construction side, and prepare for the “Great Being’s greatest achievement”.
- Hours before the launch, Ackar meets the Elder one more time. He tells him this is his final chance to cancel the robot project altogether, or that he personally will have to stop him. The Elder, laughs at Ackar's remarks, and even taunts him to do so. He then blabbers on how keeping a stable connection between the Great Beings and the people of Spherus Magna is important, and that if in some way they fail, the consequences will be uncomprehensable.
- Osavus arrives in the Renata gates.Chapter 8- Osavus is arrested at the gates, and wishes to speak to the team. He reveals to them the location of the Magma Complex, where Invidior is located - Ackar stays behind to interrogate Osavus, while Rohkea and Galintin rush quickly on the Fire Complex.
Writing: Legolover-361
- Galintin and Rohkea arrive at the complex, but Invidior's gone. Before they can grab anything, four shadowy figures take them out.
- Invidior bypasses the platform's guards and enters the robot itself, which makes him undetectable. Ackar, aware of the security breach, meets the Elder with Osavus and asks him to stop the launch now.
- The Elder is not backing down; he decides to launch the robot even with Invidior inside it. Osavus attempts to make excuses for himself, but Ackar is too overwhelmed to listen.
- Ackar decides to follow Invidior into the core, and enters the robot. He is not aware that Osavus is following him, and neither that Invidior knows he's coming. Once they are both in the core room, Invidior captures Osavus as hostage.
- Laughing manically, Invidior explains his plan; the gravity stabilizers work with loop energy. The robot’s energy flows through them, like a particle accelerator, creating a giant magnetic filed, that can be manipulated at any angle, thus creating artificial gravity. Setting them as the top priority would send all the energy directly into the machines, creating magnetic gravitational fields powerful enough to crush half of the Planet.
- He changes the booting sequence with that of his own, setting the stabilizers as top priority and one use escape hatch to leave the robot.
- Osavus stands up and starts messing with the controls - he believes that regulating the power source can reduce the power of the blast, however, the core would soon triple it's size, thus killing him. Ackar refuses to let Osavus die in here, but Osavus tells Ackar that if he doesn't do it, half of Spherus Magna will go down.
- Ackar runs up all the way to the robot's control room, and looks down at the platform. Thousands of people are standing there, unknown of what is going to happen. The Elder then appears out of thin air, and accuses Ackar of messing with it.
- Everyone on the planet is watching the robot, expecting it to start working at any moment. Ackar tries to convince the Elder that this was Invidior's doing, but the Elder ignores him. He activates a microphone that allows him to speak through the robot. Before he can begin talking, Ackar shoves him out of the way and explains to the crowd below that robot's going to explode - the news are played all over Spherus Magna in an instant.
- A huge disorganization begins, as everyone is running back into the city, away from the robot. Having wasted time talking with Ackar, the Elder decides it's time to settle this one and for all.
- Back at the core room, Osavus begs the forgiveness of the rest of the Great Beings, and apologizes for all that he has done.
- However, it's already too late; the robot's power source turns into a sphere of infernal energy, with a stable loop running through the stabilizers. Programs meant for testing are all executed, confusing the AI of the robot, and making it run havoc all over the Valley and the Northern Region. All over the world people are panicking. All hope is lost.Chapter 9- Standing on top of a hill outside the city of Renata, Avarus, Silex, Ferveon and Robur observe along with their hostages, Rohkea and Galintin, the robot's initial failure. The Energy has generated a world-wide electromagnetic storm that has painted the sky red, while charged melted pieces of energy are falling all over the city.
Writing: Riglax
- Back at the robot, Ackar and Protasious are the only ones that have managed to survive. The control room, located at the robot's head has yet to be reached by power source's energies. While the Elder is focused on assuming control of the robot again, Ackar is trying to contact Rohkea and Galintin. He makes a sudden discovery - the henchmen are in their earphones, and they are requesting money to release them.
- Ackar has had enough. He demands that Protaious finds a way to stop the robot; he thinks that this is a life time opportunity. Ackar engages Protasious in battle, demanding the full truth on everything.
- Protasious gives in - there's nothing holding him back from the truth now. He reveals to him that he is the killer of the first Elder of the Great Beings, and that he has been trying to seize control over the world for almost 556 years, but thus far has failed - the Order of Hidden was a failed attempt. Even worse, Protasious believes that the robot's power can be tamed and controlled, and used to restore peace at Spherus Magna.
- Pomerax and Raanu meet Invidior outside the gates, and he tells them that his eyes have been "finally opened". Before they are able to ask him what he means, he tells them that Galintin and Rohkea are located nearby the city and should be saved, for their day to die hasn't yet arrived.
- They find Rohkea and Galintin unconscious next to the henchmen. After Pomerax distracts them, Raanu frees Galintin and Rohkea. A long battle below the robot takes place, and all four henchmen are defeated. They are either conveniently crushed by falling energy bolts or killed by Galintin's hand.
- The two Agori get Galintin and Rohkea up to speed on what's going on.
- Ackar and the Elder battle in the robot control room. Protasious uses his Psionic powers to drain Ackar's energy, while he unsheathes his blade and uses it to absorb the heat from the robot's flaming core, turning it into Magma energy. Embracing his new powers, he kills Protasious by running his blade through his body, which falls into the flaming core through the broken wall of the control room.
- Protasious' mental shield is broken; the sleeper agents are now free of his power. That doesn't mean Ackar is saved however, as he is trapped inside the robot, while seconds left until it explodes.
- Raeir, Angonce, Morkoth and Heremus teleport Ackar away. They are all floating above the robot. It turns out Osavus' actions had saved Spherus Magna, and with little luck, the robot would just explode, disembling itself. However, there was another option - the energy could be absorbed by the Tower of the Great Beings, destroying it in the process, but also giving them time to control the robot. Ackar decides to use the Tower to control the robot, but the Great Beings tell him that's impossible.
- The energy from the robot's core finds the only possible exit - the joints. As the robot falls towards the Great Barren, it explodes, detaching it's limbs and head. The pieces are caught into orbit like falling meteors, and plunge into the Great Barren, destroying thousands of villages and killing millions.
- Ackar, Raeir, Angonce, Morkoth and Heremus teleport in the gates of the Tower, where Galintin, Rohkea and Raanu are standing. Ackar acuses the Great Beings of Protasious long abuse; they should have acted all these years; more and more people gather around to hear.

Locations
Northern Region
The Northern Region is the area of Spherus Magna north of the Black Spike and White Quartz Mountain, and where most of the Grand Creation takes place. It includes a vast expansion, where the Tower of the Tower of the Great Beings, Magnacus Renata and the Prototype Robot is being constructed.
Magnacus Renata (Valley of the Maze)
Magnacus Renata is the city that is located around the Great Beings' Tower. Ordered to be construcged by the first Elder, the city functioned as a multi-national capital, until it became - not long ago - the primary headquarters of the Fire Tribe. It was then named "Magnacus Reborn", or "Magnacus Renata", symbolizing the Fire Tribe's return to Magnacus, the former kingdom that was located in the same valley. Eventually, it becomes the "Valley of the Maze".
Tower of the Great Beings
Home, spaceship and HQ to the Great Beings, the tower landed to the world thousands of years ago. A whole city has been built around it, as it provides unlimited energy to all its surroundings. Inside it are thousands of rooms, facilities and equipment that have been used by the Great Beings over the eons. By the time of the shattering, all rooms would have been configured to be hidden and unable to be reached by physical means.
Robot Construction Facilities
There are three teleportation-proof facilities:
- the Main construction facility is located within the city, and it's attached to the Tower.
- the control facility is located inside the Robot Platform, attached to the walls; it's where the security team works, it is used as a transportation station between the assembly line and the main facility.
- the Assembly line is based off supports and scaffolds surronding the robot, and it's where the robot is assembled, and a transportation station between the Tower and the main facility.
Robot Platform
A big flat platform, where the robot is being assembled by smaller ones. It is running on the same power as the Tower does, and has at least one building were the security team has established their HQ. ALso, it's possible to quickly access it from inside the city without having to pass through the gates.
Prototype Robot
The prototype is fully mechanical and incorporates none of the nanotechnology used in the Matoran Universe. It had an unstable power source, which was the cause of its destruction. Also unlike the Matoran Universe, there was no spirit guiding the robot, making it non-sentient. The robot does have a number of offensive and defensive arrays, and is capable of emitting power and gravitational beams. It is approximately 27,000,000 feet tall, two-thirds the height of the Matoran Universe.
Magma Complex
An old fortress of the Magma Tribe from Altum Bellum, half of it has been submerged into the ground. It becomes the temporary HQ of Invidior and Osavus.
