Yes, you read that right. Playing a bard in the BZPRPG has done things to my brain. It now sees potential song parodies everywhere. Personally I also find it funny when villains break character in parodies, so I thought "Why not use Makuta Terdiax for this?" I intend to have him parody one well-known song per chapter 'till either your interest or my creativity runs dry. So let's get this party started, shall we?


Makuta's Sing-Along Blog

Chapter 1


Mata Nui has risen.

Everyone in the great city of Metru Nui is celebrating the event. The Toa Nuva have finally fulfilled their destiny of awaking Mata Nui, after Toa Matoro's noble sacrifice to revive the Great Spirit. The evil Makuta were all killed by the energy storms erupting in the universe core after the awakening, and the Order of Mata Nui secured control of the world above; meaning that the greatest threat to peace has been wiped out once and for all.

Just as the Turaga begin to congratulate the heroes, however, I make my entrance. A cold wind spreads across the crowd, and my voice can suddenly be heard from all directions. I am Makuta Teridax... and I have just secured my position as supreme ruler of the universe. And just for that reason, I feel the need to tell the Toa exactly what I think of that matter.

*Ahem*

This... was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: Huge success.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction!

I'm the Makuta!
I do what I want, because I can.
For the good of all of us,
except for those who must die

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
because evil plans, that is what I make
And the Rahkshi will fly
And the Toa will die
None of my brothers
are still alive

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you torched my face,
and killed me.
And tore me asunder.
And threw my corpse into a pond.
As I fell I laughed because
I was so not dead!

Now these masks from Toa make a beautiful pile
and my evil plans are still cruel and vile
So I'm glad you understand:
I'm still the ruler of this land,
and the people that are still alive!

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to work alone.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you?
Maybe Karzahni?
That was a joke, haha, that fool!
Anyway this Kraata's great
it's so malicious and moist

Look at me still talking when there's evil to do!
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you!
I've got a universe to run, there is evil to be done
on the people that are still alive!

And believe me I am still alive!
I'm doing evil and I'm still alive!
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive!
While you are dying I'll be still alive!
And when you're dead I'll be still alive!
Still alive, still alive!

Silence creeps across the crowd again. The only sound to be heard is the chill breeze swooping by. I allow myself to slip into obscurity once again, leaving the Toa and Matoran looking at each other in disbelief.

Makuta, whom everyone had thought dead, was back, and he had taken control of their universe. And even worse... he was jolly.

[Floridian Citrus]

Gaahhh! This song follows me even when I'm off of Pandora! Lol I thought of Terry too when I heard this song!
Oh Go- I mean Mata Nui, Makuta was Jolly.

[fishers64]

I can imagine Makuta singing that very song and all the befuddled Matoran looking about...

Great job.

[ManiacToaLaco]

Haha, very good. Although that would be very, very, very frightening to here. The universe just sort of... singing...

[Katuko]

Glad to hear you liked it, peeps. The original song was "Still Alive" by Jonathan Coulton, if any of you were wondering. Next up... a trip to Bara Magna. Then I'll have to do flashbacks so that Terry doesn't die before he can sing any more songs.


Chapter 2

Everyone is, to a certain extent, in panic. The Matoran are terrified, the Toa bewildered and the Turaga clueless. In other corners of the universe, which I can now see all at once thanks to my brand new omnipresence, Skakdi and Dark Hunters are scrambling to take up arms against me. How pitiful. I am everything. If they try to hurt me, they will only be hurting themselves. No... only one being and one object in the universe could possibly be a threat to me know, and that is the original Great Spirit and the Mask of Life.

I had thought that the problem would be easily solved by stuffing one into the other and launching them both into space. Out there, Mata Nui should have drifted forever, imprisoned in that cursed mask. Unfortunately, his trajectory so happened to land him on the distant planet of Bara Magna, which according to this robotic universe's systems was once the home of its creators. Obviously, the only way to permanently end any threat to my being is to get rid of that planet, a feat which my new nigh omnipotence should accomplish in minutes.

As I set off towards what could be said to be our point of origin, I am filled with growing confidence of my success. It's... inspirational.

*Ahem*

Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel ali-i-iiive
And the wooooorld, is bowing at my feet, yeah
I'm floating around... in empty space
You can't stop me now
Can't stop me
'cause I'm having a good time
having a good time!

I'm an overlord flying through the sky like a Rahkshi
bending the laws of gravity
I'm a wicked man passing by spreading my shadow
I'm gonna go, go, go
There's no stopping me

And I'm soaring through the sky, yeah
Five thousand feet tall! That's why they know me by my he-eight!
I've shunned all my inner light
So I'm evil as evil can be!

Can't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm killing you all
Can't stop me now
You will not have a good time
Your Toa will fall
Can't stop me now
'cause I'm having a good time
Can't stop me now
Yes, I'm having a good time
Having a good time!
No one can stop me at all!

I'm a battleship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
It's a satellite
I'm out to destroy
I'm a super bot
Ready to reload
Like an atom bomb I'm gonna go go go
Go and explooode!

And I'm soaring through the sky, yeah!
Five thousand feet tall, that why they know me by my height!
I've shunned all my inner light
So I'm evil as evil can be!

Can't stop me
Can't stop me
Can't stop me
Hey, hey, hey!
Can't stop me
Can't stop me
Ooh ooh ooooh, yeah!
I like it!
Can't stop me
Can't stop me
Havin' a good time, good time!
Can't stop me
Ooooooooh!

(Play it, Vohrak!)
*Epic Rahkshi guitar solo*

And I'm soaring through the sky, yeah!
Five thousand feet tall, that why they know me by my height!
I've shunned all my inner light
So I'm evil as evil can be!

Can't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm killing you all
Can't stop me now
You will not have a good time
Your Toa will fall
Can't stop me now
'cause I'm having a good time
Can't stop me now
Yes, I'm having a good time
No one can stop me at all!

Even as I hum the rest of my little tune, I can see the planet I seek come into view. I soar towards it, ready to make another world crumble beneath my feet.

I am Makuta; and I feel great.

[fishers64]

*shivers* Okay...that was *Sidorak impression* Exe-cell-ent.

A little repetitive and shallow on the detail, but definitely creepy. You know how to get inside Makuta's head, and it is close enough to his personality to unnerve me a bit. If that was what you were going for, congratulations

[Katuko]

It's repetitive because the original song goes like that, unfortunately. Blame Queen. I'll try to find a more "varied" song for the next chapter.

[LockmanCapulet]

These.. are brilliant.
