Makuta Maledrin and the Motley Monster He Made


Master Inika

Recommended Posts

Makuta Maledrin stood proudly at the door, awaiting the arrival of his leader, Makuta Miserix. Inside his lab, held back by protosteel bars, was his newest Rahi creation. He anticipated Miserix being quite pleased with it.

 

On the island of Destral in their state-of-the-art Rahi Creation Labs, Maledrin and his brothers worked hard to create the many Rahi beasts that populated the universe. It was often a thankless job, but nonetheless the job they had been created to do.

 

Why, Maledrin wondered, were the peaceful Matoran so shy around Makuta? Was it the Rahi they made, were they too mean and scary? Was it because of the black, twisted spikes that lined their fortress? Was it the unblinking slit-like red eyes of their Rahkshi foot soldiers? Maledrin had little time to wonder, because Miserix’s footsteps were already echoing from down the hall!

 

Miserix towered over Maledrin in his dragon-like form, clad in red armor with silver spikes jutting out of it. In comparison, Maledrin was only just taller than a Toa, in simple green hues, wearing a Kanohi Felnas.

 

“Welcome, Miserix!” Maledrin said, bowing reverently. “Right this way!”

 

Miserix followed, his gauntlet-covered hands clasped behind his back. “Thank you, Maledrin. I assume you are on schedule.”

 

“That I am!”

 

“So you have completed the Rahi lizard?”

 

“That I have!” Maledrin announced as they reached the bars, and his monster rammed into them head-first, hissing and growling menacingly.

 

“What in the name of the Great Beings is that?!” Miserix asked in horror. “What did you give it instead of legs?”

 

“Oh! Well, I was thinking, why do all our Rahi have to have legs?” Maledrin explained, oblivious to his leader’s disapproval. “Then, it hit me: treads! It’s the only way to travel!”

 

“Why is it… punching… the wall?”

 

Maledrin was only too happy to tell his leader, “That’s so it can protect itself and attack prey! Isn’t it cool? It can even punch with both forelegs at once!”

 

“Maledrin?”

 

“Yes, my lord?”

 

“In what sense does this even vaguely resemble a lizard?”

 

Maledrin went silent a few moments, before saying, “Well… the head kind of looks like a lizard’s, if you don’t look at the rest of it.”

 

Now, it was Miserix’s turn for silence. The leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta finally declared, “Maledrin, I think I’m going to transfer the remainder of your assignment to a different Makuta.”

 

“Oh, um, you mean the bull, the tiger, and the battle crabs?”

 

“Yes. Where are the viruses and liquid protodermis you were going to make them with?”

 

Maledrin took a deep breath, glanced at the locked door in the corner of his lab labeled “Do Not Enter—Live Rahi” and said, “Yeah, about that…”

Easily the best parts of this whole thing  :superfunny:

 

That would explain a lot about the 2001 Rahi. Splendid work, my friend!
