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.”

hey, I asked this question a little while ago about Krakua, hurray! This is so awesome.

 

QUOTE

Hi Mr. Farshtey, I have some questions:

 

1. Krakua is looking for Dweller right?

 

2. Are any of Johmak, Jebraz, and Tobduk dead? Here is what I reason whovever knew the landscape of Artahka, probably knew the location, and that was still enough info they had considering they killed those who knew.

 

3. Did the OoMN agents killed to hide artahka put up a fight; not know what hit them or were willing to die?

 

4. Is Krakua a member or a pawn of the Order?

 

5. Did Sentrakh & co. die when Voya Nui fell back to the continent?

 

1) No.

2) Or they simply were told about the landscape from the Order member who did know before he was killed.

3) No, they knew why they had to die.

4) Member.

5) No, because they weren't on shore.

 

Thanks Greg.

Whoa. Kewl.

 

But like everyone else, I'd like to know what that "desperate" thing was all about- the OoMN taking in anyone.

 

Back to the positive, I loved this excerpt. Keep doing what you do, Greg!

Seems I must actually get onto the internet some time to buy the books...

 

They must be great if they're of a similar writing quality. :D

Wow! Thanks Greg! That was really neat, and I can't wait for the full book! Those ships sure are tough... Good ole Kopaka. ^_^

Why do the Makuta chase Icarax, I wonder?

 

Oh, come on.

 

It's obvious- if something smashed you into the ground when you're flying, it's only natural you take that as an insult!
