Bionicle X Ninjago Mafia IV: THE PREQUEL MENACE

[Voltex]

BXNM4: Night One

 

Voltex and the Medic sat in Voltex’s house, sipping at their tea.

 

“You know, we really shouldn’t be sipping tea,” the Medic said, breaking the silence that had stretched ever since he first accepted Voltex’s offer of tea. “People might think I’m TimeLord.”

 

Voltex frowned. “But… you are TimeLord.”

 

“Oh my gawd, stop it Voltex,” the Medic moaned, wishing that they had hair they could rip out in frustration. “I’m not TimeLord! I mean c’mon man, we’ve been friends for years!”

 

“I feel like ‘friends’ is a strong term.”

 

“We’ve known each other for years!”

 

“All I know is that you’re obsessed with-”

 

The Medic slammed their fists down on the table, shattering their empty teacup in the process. Voltex fell silent, raising an unimpressed eyebrow. The Medic scowled. “You always do this, Voltex. You’re always rude and you always put things off-”

 

“Like what?”

 

“When’s the last time you actually finished a game that you started?”

 

Voltex smirked. “I’m pretty sure I just played BZP’s Bara-Magna to the finish.”

 

“Ugh, that’s not what I meant and you know it! I mean when’s the last time you hosted a game and finished it?”

 

At that, Voltex was forced to frown, trying to think of the last game he had hosted to completion. “Well, there’s this one….”

 

“You haven’t even posted the first scene yet.”

 

“Right. Well, technically speaking, A Clockwork Dream finished.”

 

“Yeah, because you gave up. Don’t even try for Bionifight One, you tossed that at Luroka. And if you say BZPGOT Season 2 I will hit you right where it hurts.”

 

“Huh,” Voltex muttered, scratching his forehead. “Whaddaya know? I haven’t finished a single game in 2017. Ouch. That actually kinda hurts to say. Wow.”

 

The Medic coughed. “Actually, you did finish a game back in January. But uh, yeah, other than that, you’re terrible.”

 

Voltex stood, shoving his chair back. It screeched before toppling over and bursting into pieces, but Voltex ignored the racket as his chest swelled, and he filled with D E T E R M-

 

“STOOOOOOOP!” The Medic had his fingers in his ears, and was shaking his head. “No more! Just go write the scene!”

 

“Fine,” Voltex said, crossing his arms and pouting. “Who are you protecting, then?”

 

“Myself.”

 

Voltex shook his head. “No way, buddy. You’ve been so rude to me. Like, so rude. Not even apologizing for it, either. Just straight up verbal abuse.”

 

The Medic scoffed. “I would hardly call what I said verbal abuse.”

 

“Pick someone else.”

 

“FINE, I pick Blade.”

 

“Oh.” Voltex slumped. “Bummer. The Makuta were totally sending Vamprah to kill her tonight too. What a rip off. That means only SV is dying.”

 

“Who the funk is SV?”

 

[ELSEWHERE]

 

Valendale stepped up to the podium, and took a moment to gaze over the crowd gathered below him. He saw Matoran, and Makuta, and someone who was probably the leader of a Ninja(go) Death Cult who was also eyeing Vox rather suspiciously, and Voltex, and his personal new hero, the one who was why Valendale had gathered everyone here today.

 

“My friends and companions, I have gathered you here today for an important announcement,” he began, wiping a tear away from his eye and swallowing thickly. “As you all know, I have long been a somewhat chilly individual. I have always been all about the ice and the snow and the cold, and such fun things as those.”

 

“Why are we even here?” Toru asked. “I don’t know you. I don’t even care.”

 

“Hush Toru, no need to be rude,” Luroka said. “This is clearly a coming out speech. We should treat Valendale with respect.”

 

“Okay, sure, but why does he need to gather the whole town in one place to do it? Now we’re just sitting ducks for the Makuta. And the Pyro. And that guy who is probably the leader of a Ninja(go) Death Cult who keeps eyeing Vox rather suspiciously. Oh, and Voltex too.”

 

Luroka gasped, affronted. “How dare you! Voltex would never!”

 

Toru raised an unimpressed eyebrow. “Don’t you two betray each other like, all the time?”

 

Luroka sniffed. “Please. Ours is a civilized rivalry. Voltex would never stoop so low as to attack me in the middle of a crowd. He would at least have the good grace to poison me in private, or stab me in the back with a large knife during the heat of battle, or capture me for some inane, made-up political reason and feed me to his wolf.”

 

Toru eyed him suspiciously. “Riiiight. What’s your role, again?”

 

“Um, villager, obviously,” Luroka said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Didn’t you hear the Detective confirming it right before Valendale started speaking?”

 

“AHEM, I believe we are all gathered here to listen to me, thank you very much!” Valendale snapped, before taking a deep breath to recover himself. “As I was saying. I have gathered you all here today, because there is something that I feel I must admit to you all. You deserve to know the truth about me.”

 

“HA, called it!” Luroka yelled.

 

Toru smacked him.

 

“The truth is,” Valendale said, taking another deep breath to calm himself, “I’m… actuallyahugefanoffireandheatandsmokeandburningandpleasedontbemadatme!”

 

A hush fell over the crowd. It was so silent that even the crickets refused to chirp, so quiet was the silence. Until at last Trijhak broke it.

 

“Uh, what?”

 

“I said,” Valendale snarled, glaring right at Trijhak, “that I am actually a huge fan of fire and heat and smoke and burning and please don’t be mad at me because of my true beliefs!”

 

Trijhak shook his head, frowning. “Sorry, I really don’t get it?”

 

Nato and Vox, both standing to Trijhak’s left, shook their heads disappointedly.

 

“You see Trijhak, this is why the guy from the Ninja(go) Death Cult didn’t want to convert you,” Vox said, before a look of horror spread across his face. “Oh god, I’ve been converted into the Ninja(go) Death Cult!”

 

“THE PYRO IS THE ONE TRUE GOD!” Valendale announced, screaming to make himself heard over Vox’s wail of utter despair. “EVERYTHING MUST BURN! HE IS OUR SAVIOUR AND SALVATION! THE PYRO MUST WIN! HE IS GLORY! HE IS WOW! HE IS CHERRY FLAVOURED! PLEASE PYRO, SHOW US YOUR STRENGTH! KILL SV!”

 

“Ha!” Voltex yelled, pointing at Valendale, his eyes gleaming in triumph. “I knew I wasn’t the only person who called ShadowVezon SV!”

 

Before the Medic or ShadowVezon could make their thoughts on this issue known, the Pyro had whipped out their flamethrower and unleashed a wave of searing fury onto ShadowVezon, immediately turning him into a pile of ashes.

 

Valendale clapped his hands together, tears of joy dripping down his face. “It’s beautiful!”

 

“Too bad Burn isn’t here, we totally could’ve bandwagoned him into an early grave,” ToaD commented.

 

End Night One.

 

The Detective found that the following four individuals are definitely not the Pyro, so if you vote for them, you’re officially an idiot and it’ll count towards 15 votes for yourself:

-Valendale

-Luroka

-Toru

-Onaku

 

YOU HAVE 24 HOURS TO VOTE!

[Onaku]

I vote Onaku and ascend to the spirit realm.

[Voltex]

I vote Onaku and ascend to the spirit realm.

u dont exist ur not allowed 2 vote

 

git out

[Onaku]

[Toru Nui]

*spins roulette wheel*

 

I vote Blade.

[xccj]

I only have a vague idea of what just happened here... Is the medic TimeLord, or does he merely look like TimeLord, or is he really TimeLord but with a memory wipe so that he can't recall his own name...? Valendale has joined with the Ninja, or has he really and he's just trying to fool us because HE is the ninja? And just what exactly does ShadowVezon taste like? Alas, we will never know because a certain Pyro overcooked him.

 

Anyway, I'll vote for *rolls dice* RG.

 

[Rahkshi Guurahk]

what

seriously what

my RNG told me to vote Blade. 

Also I find it funny how the innocent roles are the first 4 players on this list. =P

Edit: Also side note; I have called him SV at times. So I'm like half guilty or something?

Edited September 15, 2017 by Rahkshi Guurahk

[Pahrak Model ZX]

I vote Smoke Monster

[Voltex]

blade-2

rg-1

smoke-1

 

 

onaku-15

[Voxumo]

I'm going to vote.... RG.

[ToaTImeLord]

I vote for my fellow saxophonist RG.

 

Also why is my likeness for tea the first joke you make?

[Makuta Luroka]

Voting Luroka. That's a shady guy.

[FrozenFlash]

I vote Blade.

[Toa Smoke Monster]

Blade gets my vote. 

[Trijhak]

I'm not going to join a bandwagon because for all I know it's a team effort of the Brotherhood or Cult, and Luroka voting himself could be one of those  things where he tries to fool everyone and use his karma powers.

 

Therefore, I vote Toru.

[Nato G]

To cast unnecessary suspicion on both myself and Trijhak, I too shall vote Toru. 

[Toru Nui]

Therefore, I vote Toru.

You're both idiots, apparently.

[Nato G]

We know you aren't guilty of being the pyro, but that doesn't mean you're not guilty of something else. 

[Toru Nui]

I must have been awfully evil in a past life to deserve this kind of shabby treatment.

 

Besides, if I was guilty of something, don't you think that the Detective would have noticed?

[Nato G]

You seem awfully defensive for someone who claims to be innocent.

[Toru Nui]

Pointing out the obvious counts as being defensive?

 

Hmm. Voltex is right, you ARE an idiot. You couldn't possibly be planning anything.

[Nato G]

You're right. I'm not planning anything.

 

Just encouraging chaos, fostering discontent, and all that fun stuff.

[Toru Nui]

We're going to die because of you, you know that, right?

[Nato G]

It's Mafia.

 

Everyone dies. 

[Toru Nui]

I'll take that as a yes.

[Trijhak]

Nato, you're not supposed to imply that we're evil! That comes later after our victory is ensured!

[Nato G]

Oh. My bad. I thought everyone was still operating on the "guilty until proven innocent post-mortem" system. 

[ToaTImeLord]

[Voltex]

blade-4

rg-3

smoke-1

toru-2

 

onaku-15

luroka-15

trijhak-15

nato-15

 

(this is going to be a fun scene to write)

If Toru and Smoke swapped places we could do another rocket launch

[Voxumo]

If Toru and Smoke swapped places we could do another rocket launch

No, we would need someone with 5 votes for it to be authentic.

[ToaTImeLord]

If Toru and Smoke swapped places we could do another rocket launch

I've heard about the rocket jokes but don't know what it's from. I think it was before I joined the BZP Community.

The link to Tower of Trepidation is in the discussion topic. Read up until the first lynching; that's the rocket launch.

Oh my that's funny.

Voltex can we send blade into space?

[Voltex]

I mean there's nobody with 5 votes so... I doubt it

 

We have 4321, but we need 54321

[ToaTImeLord]

It could be a failed rocket launch.

Give me the rocket Voltex

[Voltex]

No

 

stay away you foul fiend

 

E: actually yes, maybe

Edited September 17, 2017 by Stark

[ToaTImeLord]

Voltex you good?

[xccj]

Huh, I guess 24 hours meant 24 days... shame, I was excited to see where this one would go, but everybody must be back in school and busy right now.

 

Hopefully we'll get all those hangings one day!
