History[]
Origin[]
Rohko and Kanahka stopped by Metru Nui for supplies, but were driven away by the Matoran, and eventually found their way to Gahnu Nui, settling on an islet next to it, where they encountered Matu, Hoka, and Vohk for the first time. Vohk informed the group of the existence of Crystal Island, which Rohko decided they should move to, the gleaming of its Lightning Crystal shores appearing to be an opportunity for riches. Along the way to Crystal Island, the group was boarded by a trio of pirates, who were thrown overboard quickly.
After the group arrived on Crystal Island, the pirates allegedly "saw potential" in the group of travelers, and introduced themsevles as Zalko, Lahka, and Vahkon, and their Kaita introduced himself as Zakalonn, stopping a Kinkanalo stampede to prove his worth.
Avenging Alliance[]
The team was attacked on behalf of Makuta Burtok by Thranatuka and Jardel on two distinct occasions, and the team prevailed both times, despite Jardel trying to use Vohk as a getaway in the second encounter. Jardel tried to capture Vohk again for the third encounter, but Vohk fought back and the team interrogated him until Thranatuka ambushed them. After defeating both, the team named themselves the Avenging Alliance, swearing to avenge those who could not stand up to evil on their own. Makuta Rayzok greeted and attacked them, but decided to leave them alive so Kanahka could document Rayzok's victory in his journal.
The Kanahka was attacked by Infernix, and the rest of the Alliance was attacked by Crystallox, both of which were defeated easily. The Vahki Ultima later repaired themselves, but were defeated again, this time by Matu and Hoka, and then buried to prevent them from attacking again.
Kanahka encountered Panuko and Buraka, who were looking for Vaturi, and had already lost contact with Levuku on their mission. After a brief scuffle, the Avenging Alliance agreed to assist the two Crynok in their mission if needed.
The Toa Tronux (with Voran) had pursued Burtok to Crystal Island, where they encountered the Avenging Alliance. After helping the misfits fight off Suntrah, Thranatuka, the Vahki Ultima, and a mask-infected Levuku, their teams formed a strong alliance against Makuta Burtok's forces on the island.
When a diplomatic discussion the Avenging Alliance, Panuko, and Vaturi went wrong, the Alliance found themselves fighting each other. Upon entering the scene, the Toa Tronux stood by, unsure how to help the situation, until Bartha's temper was triggered by Zakalonn's insistence at their involvement. The Toa Tronux fought Zakalonn and Vohk, before parting ways with the rest of the Alliance as the result of a spat between Kanahka, Rohko, and Voran.
The Toa Tronux approached Panuko and Buraka with peace, and agreed to help track down Levuku. On this search, they found their way back to the Alliance camp, and at Kanahka's request, readily rejoined the Alliance alongside the two Crynok.
Operation Rayzok[]
Burtok, posing as Rayzok after faking his own death, captured the Alliance as they attempted to raid his fortress with the Universal Alliance by their side. With the Alliance bound, Burtok revealed many things about their past, including the nature of his own tampering of the Toa Tronux. The team still managed to escape their bonds and discovered Scorpio-Spiders harvesting Lightning Crystals for use by Burtok in powering his Virus Cannons, but escaped to recover from their failed assault.
The Avenging Alliance retaliated from an attack by "Rayzok" with his newly constructed Time Dilation Accelerator. Meeting him at his own fortress, they discovered the Virus Cannons themselves, but were unable to destroy them until they enlisted the help of the newly arrived Bultrox. The cannons were destroyed with explosives delivered through the supply line, and Bultrox was added to the Avenging Alliance.
Buraka found a cave in which Burtok had hidden a stash of old laboratory equipment. After she survived Trallix, she showed it to the team, and Suntrah's and Lohrua's masks combined found and identified the fomula that had originally transformed the Toa Tronux. An antidote to the formula was created and applied, transforming the Toa Tronux back into their past selves. Vaturi approached the cave, but Yurdil informed the team that the recent turncoat was not there for battle, and the altered Vaturi rejoined the Alliance.
The Alliances regrouped and mounted a singular assault on Burtok's fortress. Joining forces with several Hokanuka, they managed to hold back Burtok's forces, including Scorpio-Spiders, Pneuma-Toa, and several giant Rahkshi. Burtok was finally defeated as a portal to the Junction Dimension, created by his Time Dilation Accelerator, closed in on him against his will, locking him in the other realm and ending the battle.
After the battle, Recvak offered the Alliances the opportunity to join the Order of Altronia, though he did not reveal its name at that point. The teams took his offer, and set out for Altronia to see what lay ahead for them.
Order of Altronia[]
Despite an unsuccessful attack from Zallirix, the Avenging and Universal Alliances made their way across the Altronia desert toward Altronia Fortress under the guidance of Recvak, Lumcavar, and Cardvor. They were attacked by a giant, energy-returning Rahi, the battle with which cost Buraka her life.
Upon arrival at the Fortress, they were greeted by Faxhuun, who gave special recognition to the Lihee and the Toa Tronux. For the Toa Tronux, this was a surprise, as they did not remember working for the Order. In the same meeting, the apprehended Burtok, having by chance returned from the Junction Dimension, was injected by a power dampener created by Rajal to prevent him from being able to escape the Order.
Rewta was attacked by Voran under Burtok's control, and Voran, unable to shake the Makuta's hold on his mind, pleaded for Rewta to put him out of his misery, as well as take his place among the Avenging Alliance. Rewta ended Voran's life as painlessly as she could.
In the aftermath of Burtok's manipulation of both Voran and Rewta, Suntrah decided to induct her into their team. When Rewta was added to the Avenging Alliance, she was introduced to the Toa Tronux, whom she took a liking to.
The Toa Tronux later found Xovar inside Altronia Fortress, and despite Xovar's misgivings about a past dispute with Runik (which Runik no longer remembered), welcomed him back to the team. Shortly afterward, when the Avenging Alliance was restructured and became the Vindicators, the Toa Tronux added Rewta to their ranks, consolidating the Toa in the team under one banner.
The Vindicators were on the brunt of an advance attack by Zortak and other forces of Cekadax, but even as they defeated the few advance scouts, Makuta Ikirro invaded the fortress himself and opened the gate, allowing Cekadax's full army to enter the fortress grounds. The Order was having difficulty repulsing the attack, but Choro's people, the Yelnir, arrived in a fleet of airships to finally turn the tides of battle.
After a brief respite, the Order pushed back against Cekadax with the help of the Yelnir fleet, Zalkaterex opening the gate to Cekadax's Fortress and allowing the Order's army and his Hokanuka brethren to enter unimpeded. The Vindicators and Universal Alliance encountered Cekadax and Ikirro, the latter of whom teleported them outside to deal with them himself. The teams combined barely defeated the Makuta, but only temporarily, and they retreated, grateful to still be alive. After Cekadax's death at the hand of Trallix, the rest of her force was either purged or retreated with Ikirro to Crystal Island to meet with that of Rularx.
Some members of the Toa Tronux were part of the formation of the Toa Nui Altron, which fought Rularx personally until the Makuta applied his confusion power, followed by fragmentation, ripping the fusion apart mentally and physically. As soon as he regained individuality, Bartha took the opportunity to destroy Rularx's mechanism for generating Siebmoz, bringing the production of the creatures, and the momentum of Rularx's forces in the battle, to a halt.
The Vindicators and the Universal Alliance fought Rularx to a near-standstill outside his fortress, before being teleported inside and pitted against the Revolutionaries by Rularx. The Toa Tronux specifically engaged Tamrix, Gordok, and Strygel, who led them into Tamrix's Rahi pens, where the beasts were unleashed on them to even the odds. However, they were soon joined by other, victorious, members of their team, and their enemies were defeated quickly with the Vindicators' support. Rularx then captured the teams temporarily, informing them that he considered them is primary nemeses, before leaving to deploy his giant version of the Time Dilation Accelerator, planning to transport Crystal Island elsewhere. When the Time Dilation Accelerator was sabotaged by Zallirix, the island, the Vindicators, the Universal Alliance, and several others, were sent to the Junction Dimension as the Order of Altronia retreated.

Trivia[]
- They were called the Avenging Alliance because they avenge those who are oppressed or being threatened by those who make a grab for power, but are too insignificant to be dealt with by the Toa of the Matoran Universe at the time.
- The name change to "Vindicators" changes this little, since "vindicate" is a synonym for "avenge."
- "Avenging Alliance" sounds like "Avengers". The basic concepts are the same, but no reference is intended.
