Chapter A

Xccj stalked the dark forests of BZP-Koro in the middle of the night. Earlier that day, there had been a news announcement. Bionicle, the theme that BZP-Koro was built around, was ending. Many people were still in shock from the news, but not Xccj. No, he was suspicious. Something was not right. And whatever it was, he was going to find it and put an end to it.

Something moved in the shadows nearby. Xccj unsheathed his sword and shouted, “Show yourself!”

“Now why should I do that?” a voice hissed out of the shadows.

“I know what you’re up to!” Xccj shouted. “And I’m going to stop you. You won’t bring this end to BZP-Koro!”

“Unfortunately for you, you’re already too late!” the voice replied.

Xccj let out a roar of rage, and leapt towards the shadowy figure, swinging his sword. The shadowy figure blocked the first couple of strikes, but then melted back in the darkness.

“I’ll get you!” Xccj raged.

“Except that I just got you.”

Xccj spun around, swinging his sword towards the voice. The blade cut through something, and it fell to the ground with a thump. Xccj was about to compliment himself on his victory when he noticed what the something was that he had cut. It was just a tree. That meant…

“I only said that so I could get behind you!” the voice said, and then impaled a dagger in Xccj’s back.

“No…” Xccj groaned.

“You’re too late.”

“There’ll be others after you,” Xccj said with his dying breath.

“More BZP Reporters? I think not. Chocolate Frogs is already dead, and the others will be too. Goodbye, Xccj.”

Xccj’s lifeless body hit the ground, and the shadowy figure walked away.

You walked into the General Discussion area. It was a popular area in BZP-Koro, and today it was especially popular. After all, the recent announcement of Bionicle’s end drew a lot of attention.

You notice a few of your friends hanging out nearby, and walk over to greet them. You see the teal and orange Sumiki and Little Miss “Krahka”, arguing over the pros and cons of the ending franchise. Meanwhile, “Blue” Dragon is sitting nearby, pondering their discussion.

“Now that Lego doesn’t need to spend so much on Bionicle, they can make a new theme and start using better designs,” Krahka was saying. “The Toa builds were getting old.”

“Yeah, but what Bionicle really had going was the story,” Sumiki counters. “That’s what made it stand out from the other brands.”

“The story isn’t ending yet,” Blue puts in. “They’re planning to continue it for at least a year after the sets have finished.”

Sumiki shrugs. “Yeah, but they just can’t do that with another theme. It takes time to really build a story as cool and complex as Bionicle. And you know that if they start another theme, we’ll get a half baked story for a year before they drop it.”

“Lego wouldn’t do that,” Krahka says.

“Oh yeah? Remember Slizers?”

“I liked Slizers,” you say. “And I liked the Toa Mata. It’s a shame they aren’t doing more sets, but I think Lego will make the right choices in the end.”

“Yeah, I’m sure Lego has their reasons for dropping Bionicle,” Blue says.

“What are those reasons?” Sumiki asks.

You and Blue glance at each other and shrug. “I don’t know for sure.”

“Maybe we should ask somebody from Lego?” Krahka suggests.

“Well, we know Greg F and Bink,” Blue says, counting them off on his fingers. “We could ask one of them.”

“Alright,” Sumiki says, pulling out his crossbow. “Who should we ask then?”

Go ask Greg

Go ask Bink
