Apologia

Hey guys,

 

Recently, in answer to a question, I had stated that Krakua was a MEMBER of the OOMN. This was a mistake on my part (unfortunately, with all the BIONICLE I write, sometimes I confuse things I thought about doing with what I actually did).

 

So, to make up for the confusion, I am going to give you guys a sneak preview of Bionicle Legends #11:

 

Divide and conquer, Pohatu thought as he piloted the Rockoh through a tight turn.

The Makuta forces had split up. Gorast and Vamprah had gone after Icarax; Krika had vanished; Mutran, too, was nowhere in sight; and as soon as he spotted Takanuva, Antroz had sent Bitil and Chirox after him. That left Antroz alone against Lewa, Pohatu and Kopaka.

Not that the Makuta seemed to mind. In full control of the Jetrax T6, he had darted around, over and through every obstacle Pohatu or Lewa had thrown in his way, and outpaced Kopaka with ease. Hitting and running, he had already done significant damage to the Rockoh.

Now Lewa was on Antroz’s tail in the Axalara T9. The Toa of Air was buffeting Antroz’s ship with gale-force winds in an effort to crash it into the forest of stone pillars created by Pohatu. Earlier, Antroz had used his magnetic power to send the Axalara into a spin, and only quick action by Pohatu had kept it from crashing into the swamp.

Antroz spotted the Rockoh and fired. The Jetrax’s Skyblasters hit their target, sending the Rockoh into a spin. Pohatu fought to right the ship, but it was headed for one of the stone pillars he had created. Quickly, he used his elemental power to shatter the rock before the ship collided with it.

Lewa banked to the left, trying to flank Antroz. The Axalara was a more powerful ship, but the Jetrax was faster. He needed to box Antroz in somehow.

Further behind, Kopaka had been working at the same thing. But every ice wall he threw up got blown to pieces by the Jetrax’s weapons or smashed by the vehicle itself. Every rain hail stones had been shrugged off by Antroz and bounced harmlessly off the Jetrax’s armored hull.

Pohatu was back in the fight now, and he was angry. Timing it just right, he made a hand of stone erupt out of the swamp and grab the Jetrax. Before Antroz could power it free, Pohatu hit the controls and pulled the Rockoh’s wings in for a dive. Firing as he flew, he raked the side of the Jetrax with bolts of energy.

Antroz jolted the craft free of the stone hand and wheeled in mid-air, firing at the Rockoh. When Pohatu dodged, Antroz used his gravity power to send the Toa’s ship plunging toward the swamp.

Lewa closed in, rocking the Jetrax with fire from the Axalara’s Skyblasters and shattering the Makuta’s concentration. Free of the increased pull of gravity, Pohatu managed to right his ship just as it skimmed the surface of the water.

Then it was Kopaka’s turn. He used his power to drop the temperature around the Jetrax hundreds of degrees in an instant, slowing down the vehicle’s engines and cutting its speed. Lewa and Pohatu closed in from both sides, ready to destroy the wounded craft.

Only Kopaka was close enough to see what happened next. Just as the two Toa vessels came in range, Antroz disappeared from the cockpit using his power to teleport. Acting quickly, Kopaka threw up ice barriers in front of the Axalara and the Rockoh, shouting, “Stop!”

Neither craft could turn in time, smashing into and through the ice. But the barriers had delayed them just long enough for Kopaka to climb behind the controls of the Jetrax. “All right,” said the Toa of Ice. “If this is the final battle, let’s make it one to remember.”

So there are three Order members in Metru Nui? :???: I'm confuzzled. :P

 

Anyway thanks for the sneak peak, it looks really promising. ^_^

Thanks! Wow, Greg, you should mess up more. For just making a small mistake like that, he gave us a book preview, but for a bigger mistake . . . start messing up, Greg! XD

 

Oh, and:

 

Lewa closed in, rocking the Jetrax with fire from the Axalara’s Skyblasters

 

:blink: I didn't know it could do that.

 

Again, thanks a million, Greg, you have no idea what you do for your fanbase. And, even if you think it's great, you're VERY far off. :)

 

BTW, I'm half way through BL10, great stuff in there!

I'm confused. Where did Kopaka come from, to take the seat so quickly? I was under the impression he was manipulating his powers around Antroz from a distance away, as he could not keep up without a vehicle of his own.

 

I guess that he flew all the time somewhere near Jetrax but when he slowed it down he was able to catch up with it...

 

Awesome part Greg, I really hope that there will be more epic battles in the book like this one. :)

Thanks for the preview, and in response to the mistake: Don't worry. Even Douglas Adams said that he has trouble talking about his own books without messing something up. :P

this is so cool! thanks Greg!

 

i'm suprised to see that no one made a comment about how Takanuva is seen in here

that gives you a hit of what'll happen soon

Thanks a ton Greg! Great preview!

 

About the ICarax subject:Hm, since the Toa Ignika was not mentioned, or the other Nuva, it makes me think they are busy doing something alse ;p of course. But why would the Makuta be chasing Icarax? The Key Stones. He must have taken one and is now going to try to take full control by doing some elaborate thing a ma bob, trying to gain all the power for himself...something like that

Indeed, thanks Greg.

 

 

Yay for Kopaka! Thanks for the preview, Greg! This increases my excitement for the vehicles (storyline wise). And for the Final Battle!

Awesome, thanks Greg! Please goof again, we don't mind!

 

Originally, I only intended on purchasing the Mistika, Takanuva, and the Axalara (simply because it is awesome!). But now, my Christmas list may expand...

 

Thanks again, us fans really apreciate it!
