- "Understand something, Takanuva. We are in a war. Maybe we have been since the day the Brotherhood struck down Mata Nui. And in war, you don't always get to choose your allies or test them first to make sure they are pure enough. I would recruit Dark Hunters and Pit prisoners if I thought it would bring the Makuta down."

The Order of Mata Nui/Brotherhood of Makuta War, also called the "Destiny War" by Helryx, was a large-scaled conflict between two of the most powerful factions in the Matoran Universe, the Order of Mata Nui and the Brotherhood of Makuta. The Order, long kept a secret from the rest of the universe, chose to leave their secrecy behind and openly engage the Brotherhood in combat.

History
Preparations for the War
The Order have long since been aware that they would need to reveal themselves, and fight the Brotherhood. With the recent events concerning the Kanohi Ignika, the Order began to prepare for the inevitable conflict. In order to reduce the creation of Rahkshi, the Order began locating and destroying Energized Protodermis pools in which Rahkshi spring from. They recovered disgraced member Brutaka from The Pit, and sent him on a mission to free the former leader of the Brotherhood, Miserix. They contacted members from all over the universe, including Axonn, Ancient and Hydraxon, and used them to ally with various forces, including Skakdi, the Dark Hunters, and the Barraki. With the combined might of many of the universe's greatest forces, the Order began their attack.
The Brotherhood of Makuta had also made plans and started to prepare to conquer the Matoran Universe. Makuta Tridax created an army of Toa of Shadow by using an Olmak to assemble an army of multiple alternate Takanuva and draining them of their light.
Coming Out of Secrecy
The Order of Mata Nui dispatched the insane, half-Skakdi, Vezon and Trinuma to the Brotherhood base at Destral where Vezon was to "betray the Order to the universe" by announcing the Order of Mata Nui’s presence, but in reality, learn how Destral teleports and the island's other secrets.
The Order sent The Shadowed One with a fleet of Dark Hunters to blockade the island of Xia so they could stop the Vortixx from selling the Brotherhood weapons. The Shadowed One instead attempted to go a step farther and completely obliterate the Xians, but before he could do so, the Toa Hagah tried to intervene. The Dark Hunter leader still tried to go through with his plans, but Toa Helryx appeared and threatened to wipe out the entire Dark Hunter armada if they went against her orders. Helryx then dispatched the Toa Hagah with the aide of Zaktan to locate Makuta Teridax and defeat him.
Axonn and Brutaka were sent to the island of Zakaz to recruit the Skakdi warlords, including Nektann, to join in the War effort on behalf of the Order.
Early Battles
The Brotherhood secretly placed a small army of Rahkshi on the Southern Islands to stage an invasion of the Southern Continent and they succeed in driving off all the Matoran residing on the island. However, before the Rahkshi could initiate the attack, armies of Skakdi arrived and they did battle. Although the Skakdi were outnumbered and suffered loses, they managed to decimate the army of Rahkshi. While the two forces battled, Axonn and Brutaka were sent to the same island to destroy the creation process of the Makuta.
All across the universe, the Order launched surprise attacks on the Brotherhood of Makuta and used their allies to conquer key positions throughout the domes. The Brotherhood was taken unaware and lost their footing in much of the universe, though managed to keep a resistance effort up. The Order had been still unable to remove the Makuta army on Nynrah.
Further Campaigns
The war took place over many islands and many parts of the universe, with battles raging from Nynrah to the Southern Islands. The Order won many of these battles, and eventually defeated the Brotherhood's forces on Nynrah.
The Barraki are Recruited
Helryx sent a message to Hydraxon in The Pit to free the Barraki warlords to have them fight with the Order. Pridak immediately took advantage of his freedom, and began to strike at the Brotherhood with an army of Skakdi, Vortixx, and rogue Dark Hunters. Pridak succeeded in taking a Makuta Fortress where he discovered Teridax’s complete plan.
Extinction of the Visorak
Johmak traveled to Metru Nui and delivered the Heart of the Visorak to the Toa Mahri. She told them to take it to the southern island of Artidax. Two other Order members already went to the island and planted explosive devices intended to utterly destroy the Brotherhood's army of spider Rahi who would be driven to the artifact. However, only Jaller, Hahli and Nuparu went on the mission, leaving Hewkii and Kongu to guard the city which was not what the Order wanted.
Fortifying Metru Nui
Knowing that the Toa would interfere with their plans to fortify Metru Nui, Hewkii and Kongu were temporarily abducted. After the Toa Mahri were removed from Metru Nui by Johmak, the Order began to fortify the city’s defenses, by building large walls and sentinels around Metru Nui's coastline making the island city into a fortress. The Turaga disagreed with the Order but could not stop them and the Matoran were put to work in the effort. Agents on Stelt began leaking rumors that the Great Furnace on Metru Nui was being converted into producing a virus that could destroy Makuta armor, luring a final battle in Metru Nui.
The Order Attacks Destral
The Order of Mata Nui began an surprise attack on the Brotherhood’s base as Makuta Tridax was about to execute the captured Vezon. The large assault freed Vezon from his chains and so he began the next step of his mission. Tridax had been given orders to move Destral to Metru Nui and seize the island city if such an attack occurred, however he was followed by Vezon to Destral’s teleportation chamber. Two agents of the Order, Tobduk and Mazeka, then enter the chamber and former proceeded to kill Tridax, while the latter allowed the half-Skakdi to live instead of killing him.
Siege of Metru Nui
The last battle of the War was a massive invasion of Metru Nui by the Brotherhood's Rahkshi. The Rahkshi managed to break into the city, but various setbacks prevented them from taking over the city. The Bohrok under Metru Nui were awoken by Krakua, and when Mata Nui awoke, a storm began that rocked the Brotherhood ships besieging the city. With the timely arrival of the Toa Nuva in their aircrafts, the Brotherhood forces were destroyed or repelled and the organization ultimately crushed as a result.
