The '''Black Water''', also known as the '''Deep Deep''' or '''Sea of Blackness''', is a particularly dark underwater region of [[Aqua Magna]], located below the former location of the [[Mahri Nui]] landmass.

== History ==
The Black Water is home to many dangerous marine [[creatures]]. It was largely unperturbed before the [[Great Cataclysm]], which caused the structure of [[the Pit]] of the [[Matoran Universe]] to break open and release its inmates into the water. A large number of [[Rahi]] also migrated to the waters and integrated into the natural ecosystem. The entrance to the Pit was located here, as well as the caves of [[Barraki]] [[Pridak]] and [[Takadox]], and the [[Razor Whale's Teeth]] rock formation, where the Barraki came to meet, after the [[Kanohi]] [[Ignika]] sank into the waters.

During the years following Mahri Nui's sinking, many [[Matoran]] vanished in the area and were never heard from again. For this reason, [[Defilak's Submarine]] crew was formed, composing of the [[Le-Matoran]], a [[Ta-Matoran]] [[Sarda]], a [[Ga-Matoran]] [[Idris]], and an [[Onu-Matoran]] [[Gar]], their mission being to explore the Black Water and hopefully discover the cause of the missing Matoran's disappearances. They were captured and taken into Pridak's cave for interrogation, although Sarda was tossed into the waters to waiting [[Takea]] sharks. The [[Ta-Matoran]] was rescued by [[Toa]] [[Lesovikk]] whose attack scattered the sharks. The two, while talking, were attacked by {{p|Karzahni|Being}}. After being unable to defeat Lesovikk, the powerful being gave a horrific vision to Sarda, causing Lesovikk to break off the fight to save Sarda while Karzahni fled. Following Sarda's mutation into a water-breather, he and Lesovikk left to track down Karzahni. At around this time, the [[Ga-Matoran]] [[Kyrehx]] was kidnapped by the Barraki [[Carapar]] and taken to Takadox, who interrogated her about the Kanohi Ignika and, upon learning the mask was still in Mahri Nui, let her go.

Pridak later left his cave with [[Defilak]] to show him the scene of the [[Attack on Mahri Nui]] and tell him the tale of the Barraki. The other two Matoran escaped shortly after in the waters and made their way to Mahri Nui.

Takadox later came here to watch [[Mantax]] who regularly visited the Pit to search it. He was caught by Kalmah who demanded to know what he was doing. Takadox explained and hinted that Mantax might have hidden the Ignika in the Pit. The two then entered the Pit, only to be trapped in when [[Maxilos]] sealed the entrance. [[Nocturn]] arrived some time later and tore open the entrance, allowing the Barraki to escape while he challenged {{p|Zyglak|Species}} in the Pit, who, due to Takadox's insinuations, he believed had insulted him.

Later, the traitorous member of the [[Order of Mata Nui]], [[Brutaka]], was dragged into the Black Water by a Giant Squid upon Pridak's orders. He was able to kill the squid, however, and began traveling through the ocean.{{GregCitation|OGD|page=320|post=12788}}

Upon obtaining the Ignika, the Barraki journeyed to the Razor Whale's Teeth where they left the mask in Nocturn's care, not trusting each other with it. Nocturn later grew bored with guarding it and, discovering his curse by the Ignika, left the Black Water to inform [[Ehlek]].

[[Toa Mahri]] [[Matoro]] was later brought into the Black Water by [[Dekar#Hydraxon|Hydraxon's replica]], to be imprisoned in the Pit, as the jailor was recapturing all prisoners and believed that anyone in the ocean was an escaped prisoner. He was freed by a Maxilos robot which was possessed by the [[Antidermis]] of [[Makuta]] [[Teridax]], and left the region with him. The two later returned and entered the Pit to find the corpse of an alternate [[Toa Mangai]] [[Tuyet]] which Matoro [[Tryna|reanimated]] on the Makuta's order. The three then left the area again, to meet with Makuta [[Icarax]].

Later, after Mantax acquired the Ignika, he called a meeting at the Razor Whale's Teeth, in which he revealed the [[Tablet of Transit]] he had discovered in the Pit and its significance in revealing the presence of a traitor among the Barraki. After the meeting was disrupted by an avalanche caused by Hydraxon, Takadox, the traitor, attempted to use the confusion to his advantage, although he was subsequently paralyzed by Mantax's venom and was also unsuccessful in his attempt to hypnotize the Maxilos robot possessed by Teridax, into attacking the other Barraki.

After the Pit's structure was repaired by the [[Staff of Artakha]], Hydraxon, with the help of Lesovikk and Sarda, was able to capture several prisoners, including the Barraki, and bring them back into the jails.
