History[]
During the final preparation of the Plan, Makuta Teridax was contacted by Gorast shortly before Matoro's sacrifice as she revealed him the location of the island called Karda Nui with the help of the Ta-Matoran criminal named Vultraz. Teridax then ordered her to inform the rest of the Brotherhood of Makuta to invade Karda Nui at once and transform all the Av-Matoran into Shadow Matoran as much as they can.
Soon after her meeting with Teridax, Gorast approached Icarax, who have taken over as the new leader of the Brotherhood and informed him that they were given of Teridax's order to invade Karda Nui. Upon this, Icarax assembled the team which was consisted of; Antroz, Vamprah, Chirox, Krika, Gorast and Bitil as he then dispatched them to their mission.
Leading the army of Rahkshi and Exo-Toa, the Makuta Strike Force travelled towards Karda Nui before Matoro sacrificed himself to revive Mata Nui. Upon arriving in Karda Nui, the Makuta Strike Force began to formulate their plan of attacking the Av-Matoran and transform them into Shadow Matoran as the team divided into two groups: Makuta Phantoka and Makuta Mistika. While the Makuta Phantoka began their attack on the Stalactite Villages, the Makuta Mistika and the army went to the Swamp of Secrets to prevent the Av-Matoran from escaping the island.
