A question about the Uprising series


Voltex

914 views

For those unaware, Uprising consists of three epics: Isolation, Extraction, and Extermination.

My question is this: are there any questions that you felt were left unanswered or ignored throughout the trilogy? Any subplots that you felt were not fully addressed, or backstory that was lacking? Motivations that you felt were unclear, or devices with origins that should have been explained with greater depth?

Where did that evil substance than infected Voltex and Xaeraz come from? Can it be beaten or destroyed?

 

I thought Voltex might have beaten it somehow, but for some reason my memory is fuzzy on that at the moment.

 

Could Xaeraz have overcome it if he lived?

That was actually one of the plotlines that I ended up dropping in between Extraction and Extermination; partially because I wasn't enjoying writing it, and partially to help make the latter more standalone. 

 

It was essentially just a shadow virus that was like the shadow leeches, slowly replacing any inner light in the victim with shadow - except with the added benefit of also slowly driving the victim insane. Voltex needed to assemble 3 or 4 Matoran of Light to activate a device that would purge the shadow from him, essentially killing the virus. This ended up happening offscreen in the year between Extraction and Extermination, buuuut since it was never actually expanded upon, I'm sure it could be explained with greater depth, detail, and drama in a short story or something =P
