Mata Nui's Crash
1,000 years prior to Makuta Teridax's takeover of the Matoran Universe, the Great Spirit Mata Nui plummeted into the Endless Ocean Planet after he was struck by an evil scheme masterminded by Teridax. The combined force of a virus and damage to the power plants of Metru Nui caused Mata Nui to fall into a deep slumber as he was orbiting the planet. Attracted to the gravitational pull of the planet, the great robotic figure crashed into the planet, an event which caused damage to the Great Spirit's physical body.
