Awakenings

What is Awakenings?
Awakenings is a comic series dedicated to the early years and adventures of the Toa Mata, as they trained and protected Daxia, and Karda Nui. The newly formed Toa will start by getting in trouble in their first home, Daxia, where they will be trained by Hydraxon.

'Karda Nui' is all about the Mata fighting the Avohkah, sentient beings of lightning created to prepare Kard Nui for the launch of Mata Nui, but instead have gone mad.

You can join the Art department or the writing department and help in the development of this project.

The story is set one year before the launch of Mata Nui, and deals with the Toa Mata as protagonists. There's a lot of information on what they did; but we're going to unite all those and create a better story, but adding elements and enemies to it. You can suggest any scenarios here -- we'll look on it, and if you're lucky, we might include them.

This a description of what we know from the book, BIONICLE Legends 10: Swamp of Secrets

Back in Takanuva's visions, Gali is knocked flat by her trainer, Hydraxon, after being defeated countless times before. She then goes into a short frenzy in a wild effort to defeat him, but fails. She gets up, ready to strike again, but then is knocked down by Spinax. After she is forced to run away from Spinax, she finds her way back to the Toa Mata's rest station, and engages in discussion with several of the other Toa.

In Takanuva's visions, he sees Lewa underwater, attempting to find his Miru. Frustrated by the attacks of schools of carnivorous fish, he gives up, and Hydraxon laughs at him. Their trainer had taken each of their masks and hidden it somewhere on Daxia. Angered, Lewa comments on how each of the other Toa Mata are doing, then realizes that they can work together. Hydraxon commends him, and Lewa seeks out Gali's help for getting his mask, in exchange for him getting her mask. After the mask search, Tahu and Kopaka scale a mountain to get to an Order of Mata Nui base. They then trick the guards into letting them in, and they are greeted by Helryx, the leader of the Order. She stops working on her project, the Swamp Strider, and then asks them if they will take on the job to become Mata Nui's guardians.

In Takanuva's visions, he witnesses the Toa Mata in Karda Nui, and Kopaka and Tahu fighting off a group of Avohkah. After they are defeated, Tahu and Kopaka debate whether or not they should tell the other Mata the truth about the Codrex and what it is meant for.

We have a collection of drafts, designs and pages. At first, Dark Hunter designed them to be more set-like, although later on, he made them look more blocky to add a nicer touch. As of late, those are the only real drawing changes. The first page was recently made, colored, and drawn, while the second page has yet to be colored or finsihed.
