Michael Dorn: Mata Nui
Quotes
-
Ackar : So, stranger, what are your plans?
Mata Nui : I begin searching for a way back to my homeland.
Ackar : Which is...?
Mata Nui : You will think it sounds crazy.
Ackar : Well...
[chuckles]
Ackar : Well, no crazier than jumping in the arena, armed with only a tail and... that thing.
[in reference to Mata Nui's companion beetle, Click]
Mata Nui : True. My home is far from this place. On another world entirely.
-
Mata Nui : Before this day, I've never needed help from anyone or anything. Thank you. I spared your life and you saved mine. Shall we call it even, and go our separate ways?
-
Ackar : I don't like this! This canyon's ideal for an ambush.
Kiina : Please! Even Bone Hunters aren't dumb enough to take on three Glatorian.
Mata Nui : They're getting bolder! Skrall too! In the past months, they seem to know our every move!
Ackar : True, but don't worry. It's not like we've got much worth stealing.
[pause]
Ackar : Well, maybe Mata Nui does.
[Click chirps angrily]
Ackar : I meant his blade, bug face!
[shakes her head]
Ackar : I can't believe I'm talking to an insect.
Mata Nui : When an enemy knows too much, it can only mean one thing: A traitor!
Ackar : I was thinking the same thing, but who?
-
Ackar : Hey... What you did with the Vorox tail and... Click, could it work with these?
[everyone draws their worn-out blades]
Mata Nui : I don't know. This mask gave me new life. But I still don't completely understand its power. I think it only works on things that are or were alive.
Berix : No problem. Most Glatorian weapons are made of bone or claw.
Kiina : Collected a few, have you?
Berix : [chuckles sarcastically] So funny...
-
Mata Nui : [reacting with surprise to Ackar's new blade spewing a huge jet of fire] Of course! Fire is your elemental power. The Mask of Life has simply ignited it. You have become a true Toa.
Ackar : Thank you, friend.
[puts his hand on Mata Nui's shoulder]
Mata Nui : Strange. I have worn many titles, been called a lot of things... but never friend.
[puts his hand on Ackar's shoulder]
Kiina : Me next!
[cheerfully holds up her spear that needs a similar overhaul]
-
[first lines]
Mata Nui : [we see a tropical island paradise, in the middle of a beautiful, endless ocean] It is said that all endings are merely beginnings, waiting to be born.
[two brightly glowing eyes suddenly light up below the island]
Mata Nui : My beginning was much the same.
[the ocean waters start to go crazy, the earth rumbles and shatters, mountains crumble, and the tropical island falls apart as a gigantic metal titan awakens and rises up from under it, the broken pieces of the island falling off its enormous body]
Mata Nui : Once I was a towering giant, ruler of my own universe. Fearless. Beholden to none. Protector of my people.
[we see a flourishing civilization of colorful beings, called Matoran, inside the robot's body, each of them happy and cheerful]
Mata Nui : Until I was betrayed.
[the yellow eyes of the robot giant flicker out, darkness falls over the universe inside it, then an evil red glow bursts from the robot's eyes]
Mata Nui : All that I had been, all that I had known was stolen from my by an ever-present evil. My power stripped away. My people enslaved.
[strange beams of solid light and shutting metal doors capture the frightened Matoran, who try in vain to escape]
Mata Nui : I was left powerless to save them. And yet a part of me survived. My spirit...
[a beam of light shoots from the giant robot's chest, flying away into the sky]
Mata Nui : ... captured and preserved inside a mask warn by a Toa warrior. Its name echoed my rebirth - The Mask of Life!
-
Tuma : [Mata Nui confronts Tuma] Yeeesssss. So brave. I hoped all the Glatorian would come. But it seems they're even bigger cowards than I thought! Either he's a madman, or he'd like to join the winning side! Which is it?
Mata Nui : I'm here to fight form my friends' freedom. One on one. Unless the Skrall leader is the real coward.
Tuma : I'm going to enjoy tearing that fancy mask from your face!
-
[Mata Nui has defeated Tuma and holds up his shield; turns at the sound of clapping; Kiina and Berix look down from their cage]
Metus : [laughs as he descents stairs while clapping with Kiina's trident tucked under his left arm] I can always pick a winner.
[seriously to Mata Nui]
Metus : Now, throw down your shield and your weapon.
[Mata Nui stares in shock as the Bone Hunters and Skrall snarl and wave their weapons about]
Metus : That's not a joke.
Mata Nui : So, *you* were the traitor all along.
[throws Tuma's shield aside and turns Click back into a Scarabax; sets him down on the ground]
Mata Nui : Save yourself, my friend.
[Click scuttles away and looks back to Mata Nui before burrowing underground]
Metus : [drives Kiina's trident into the ground, trying to kill Click] Cursed insect!
Kiina : You *coward*! Keeping tabs on the Glatorian so you can sell us out to the Skrall?
Metus : Not a coward! Just a good businessman!
Mata Nui : [snarls] *You* were the one that convinced them to unite!
Metus : Of course I did. You think they'd come up with that on their own? As rival tribes, the nomads did little damage, but together, under one ruler...
Kiina : You'd lead them against your own people?
Metus : What have the Agori ever done for me?
Berix : Oh, well, let's see. We *trusted you*?
Kiina : The Glatorian will tear you apart for this!
Metus : [turns from Kiina to Mata Nui] She still doesn't understand.
Mata Nui : [nods, turns to Kiina] We are the only ones that know.
[Kiina gasps]
Metus : Exactly. And by the time the Glatorian realise it, the battle will already be over. I win.
