Well, my request has something to do with the discussion at hand.Danger CloseReview TopicNo. Chapters: 21My last review from the ECC was when I reposted the first four chapters of my epic, I'm pretty sure, which was back in November. Since then, I've posted seventeen more chapters - I believe that would constitute as a substantial amount of work. If it can't be reviewed, perfectly fine; if it can, I'll be patiently awaiting my review.Thank you.

Thanks for reading, TNTOS, and thanks for pointing out the mistakes. Might not be able to make those edits for awhile, but I'll check them out ASAP. :)And drum roll please! Heeeeeeeeeeere's a new chapter! =D

Clash – Part 2 Attempting to digest that information was harder than jumping over a Muaka – trying to survive hearing that was too painful for her. Because of the pressure of the battle, Tikiani ran. There was still more she had to ask; gritting her teeth, she continued to pin her old comrade to the thick hedge, her elbow digging rather painfully into the back of the psionics-Toa. Tikiani groaned for a moment, but refrained from crying out in any form of pain to reveal a weakness.“You’re telling me,” Talin began, calm at first. Her voice deepened to a hateful, unremorseful tone, loud. “That you left, just because the battle was pressuring you? For Karzhani’s sake, Tikiani, there are a heck of a lot more reasons for you to stay than to leave. You had almost a dozen people that admired your skill on the battlefield, and you threw all that away because you were under pressure? We face pressure every day of our lives!”As she yelled at her former friend, she dug her elbow deeper into the back of our opponent. This wasn’t as friendly as she had hoped it to be. As opposed to her trying to convince her to rejoin the team, it had become smashing fences violently, contradictory to mending them in this case. Tikiani kicked and struggled, until finally one of her kicks struck home and hit Talin hard in the leg. Talin quickly grabbed the longbow and quiver Tikiani had on her back before falling to the ground. Because Tikiani was not one to run away from a battle, she engaged her mask power, turning invisible in an instant. Fortunately for Talin, not silenced.Having already prepared to launch an arrow, Talin took a defensive position, listening as she stayed silent. Thank Mata-Nui I let Nagii teach me a few of the basic ESD arts, she thought. Keeping a completely still position but having the ability to move fast in less than a second gave her the advantage: By not making a single sound, she was not fooled by her own noise but could attune her hearing to listen for all sounds around her, more intent on hearing the noise of Tikiani moving. The noise she heard next gave the Toa of Psionics’s position away as if on cue.A twig snapped in two behind her. Talin spun around and had aimed for where she hoped was the lower-half of Tikiani’s leg. She heard the sound of the bow retract, the snapping of the bowstring and the arrow whiz through the fresh morning air. She heard a brief cry of pain, and knew it had hit home. Tikiani had become visible – she was lying on the ground, with little blood seeping from where the arrow had hit just above her ankle with the impact of a thick iron needle being thrust into her leg.With little regret for her actions, Talin smiled. Though realizing she was no better than the enemy, she knew it was a bittersweet sort of pain Tikiani was experiencing at that moment. A pain which she deserved. ~:~ The sea’s waves crashed on the sand, harder than ever. As if echoing in the windmills of his mind to wake him, Jilin’s conscious was roused by the sound of the sea’s destructive force of the waves against the beaches. He was bound by cloth, and knew it would be an easy task to penetrate it. With all his might, he used his elemental power to his advantage and watched as the cloth around his hands, feet, and legs burned to ashes. He grinned evilly. He viewed his comrades, bound by the cloth, too. He stepped over to Kuhi, Alyssia, and Spira and removed the cloth with ease, tapping each of them on the shoulder to wake them.He decided to wait a moment before bothering them further. He had a rather unsightly incident in years previous when attempting to wake any of his comrades, all of them including a knife to the throat. He looked towards the beaches – Charlie-Delta was on the beaches, fighting with some of Uzian’s followers. WE could possibly be nowhere in sight – possibly because Nagii’s tactics of stealth were unfaultable. It was up until this point that he started to use them when he caught sight of a feminine figure standing on the cliff’s edge.Another one of his, he thought, repulsed. By this time he had taken his broadsword in hand, and upon extending it outward, he watched as a rope of fire launched forth, almost as if lassoing the figure in front of him. Wickedly he smiled, happy to see the mercenary trapped just as he had been. Except, move an inch and you’ll be burned to a crisp.Although having this mercenary held in her position, next was to deal with the two figures he saw scaling the pinnacle of rock, close to the top of the cliff. He watched suddenly as a chunk of stone landed in their direction – in the morning light, he saw the ruby-armored being pull his comrade to their right to avoid the devastating boulder. Jilin turned around to see Kuhi, grinning as he rained boulder after boulder in the direction of the two climbers, watching as each rock plummeted downward towards the scrambling mercenaries. Eventually it came to the point where it was useless to send anymore rocks down toward them, as they had dodged each stone boulder that came their way. But there was no time for this it seemed – something else had caught his eye.On the blue and pink horizon, Jilin saw the silhouette of a fiery-red bird flying towards the cliff. Although it did not pose a threat at first, he watched as it flew closer and closer, until it was a mere few thirty or fifty feet from his location. It dive-bombed towards him, and when it touched the ground, it transformed quickly into the shape of a Toa, with emerald and black armor – apparently another of Uzian’s mercenaries.He has everybody work for him, doesn’t he? Jilin grumbled to himself in his mind. Grunting, he controlled the rope of fire around Civyl and rather forcefully flung it – with her still in it – behind him, the fire disappearing with his broadsword still in his hand. The fire-Toa heard her hit the ground hard behind him. At least that technique was useful, he thought to himself. Now to deal with the mercenary.He shuffled his feet, as if getting into a fighting position, and gripped his broadsword with his right hand. The Dark Hunter scoffed at his actions. “Is this some sort of swordfight to you?” the Dark Hunter ridiculed. The voice surprised him as he realized it was another female mercenary. “Because trust me, I don’t fight with a sword.” As Colorn said these words, her form distorted, until it changed to that snake.She slithered across the ground, black with dark green stripes across her new body. The beady eyes of the snake watched Jilin, as if she were taunting him, toying with his every action and acting with unpredictable movements. In an act of defiance, he thrust his sword downward, barely centimeters from slicing the snake in half. She reacted quickly, hissing in response. She revealed her sharp, dagger-like teeth to Jilin, showing him what she could do to him with a proper venomous bite. Rising upward, she rushed forward with an unbelievable speed, almost biting him in his left arm. He dodged it by leaning his whole body to the right, trying not to fall to the ground at the same time.She’s fast, but I’m quicker, he thought. ~:~ The pain burned up through her right leg. She cried out in anguish, falling to the ground. The wind had been knocked out of her when she was hit by the steel-headed arrow, and upon loosing the strength of her legs to hold her up, she fell to the earth. It felt as if she had been hit by a wall of bricks. The ex-Toa groaned at the searing pain being shot through every fiber of her being. Although it was even more painful than what she was experiencing now, she loosened the arrow from her lower leg, slowly pulling it out. It felt as if trying to remove a seven-inch thorn from her leg.Tikiani eventually removed the arrow’s head from her leg. Viewing her wound, she realized it wasn’t necessarily deep, but the injury was causing her to loose blood at a rapid pace. She sighed, the anger going through her creating a rather strong flow of energy in her muscles. She glanced at her former comrade, and she bowed her head. She knew she deserved the pain she was going through now. The agony she was experiencing was remorse for what she did, and Talin’s understandable revenge for abandoning the Toa Rohan in their hour of need so long ago.She felt something she had not felt decades. “I deserve this,” Tikiani said bluntly. Her voice was sharp with regret and agony. She groaned again, this time in a higher pitched tone as she adjusted her position on the ground. “I’ve always deserved this. It just took this long for it to happen…to finally dawn on me.” There was a mixture of hurt, sorrow, sympathy, and an unremorseful attitude being revealed on Talin’s face. Her emotions seemed to seep through, despite her trying to hide them. It hurt like Karzhani for Talin to shoot her former best friend, not to forget see her admit something that was partially the truth – and an all and out lie.“You know that just as well as I do,” Talin answered, visibly upset at this point. “Who doesn’t know that is Uzian.” A plan was rather slowly being produced in her mind. Whether it would actually work was something she wasn’t entirely sure of – it was worth trying anything to attempt and win the battle at this point. ~:~ The ESD leader viewed the cliff-side with a cautious eye, and saw the battle taking place at that moment. Jilin was awake again at least, including Kuhi, Alyssia, and Spira. Perhaps they are safe now… she thought. Her own personal feelings encouraged her to rush forward and assist Jilin in the battle with the shape-shifting mercenary, but she knew she didn’t have a choice in the matter. It was cast her duty to the side and let her own feelings take over her system, or play it safe – the choice had already been made for her when the battle started.Besides, Jilin is a very strong fighter, the Matoran of Lightning thought. He is capable of defeating the mercenary himself. He is strong-suited in a defensive fighting style, so he should be perfectly capable of defending himself without my help. He has teammates with him anyhow if he needs assistance, or any form of protection. He’s clever anyhow, so why should he need any extra help?She shook the thoughts from her mind with ease. She needed to concentrate on the task at hand. Then a thought dawned on her. “Guys,” she began briskly, following Atuu at the quick running pace. “I’ve got an idea. Let’s split up into separate groups – Naizu and Atuu help CD at the beaches, while Stelt and I head to the cliff-side. That Miru of yours should help us, Stelt.” He nodded. They agreed rather quickly to the idea.“Alright,” she said, stopping. “At the count of three: One, two…three!” Stelt engaged his mask power, grabbing Nagii by the hand as the two silently levitated upward to the cliff side. Atuu and Naizu sped off towards the beaches at a rapid pace after them.When the edge of the cliff was in reach, both grasped the ledge with their hands. After a few seconds of rolling themselves over the ledge to be on the solid ground of the cliff, Nagii and Stelt, holding their weapons in hand – Stelt’s weapon was a spear with his elemental power enclosed in it, Nagii having over a dozen weapons with her, a large broadsword being her weapon of choice at that moment – prepared for the battle ongoing.Jilin was shuffling his feet, dodging a snake that was twisting and coiling itself, taunting him with vicious maneuvers. Alyssia, Kuhi, and Spira were in a confrontation with two beings Nagii quickly recognized: Fuzan and Silio, Uzian’s closest followers. Another person caught her eye she did not recognize, but had a feeling that her prediction was right. It had to be Irui, or whoever faked being Irui. She immediately jumped into Jilin’s battle.“Need some assistance?” she said. She felt extremely at ease around Jilin – no matter how cold, tough, and absolutely bitter she might be, him being around softened her attitude. She stepped this way and that, watching as the cold-blooded being hissed, as if preparing for something it wasn’t going to do.Nagii pulled off a maneuver which Colorn had not exactly anticipated: With lightning-fast speed, Nagii had thrust the sword forward, predicting the snake’s next movements as it dodged to its right. While evading this attack, Nagii basically juggled the sword into her left hand, and sliced across the snake’s skin. The attack hit home with ease, and the female mercenary shape-shifted into a form unfamiliar to all. It was her true self – an emerald-armored Vortixx, slender and tall, towering over Nagii. The contrasting forms were like comparing a shrimp to a giant with their differing heights.The injury was bright scarlet on her left arm. Colorn had dropped to her knees, her head bowed to the ground as if praying to Mata-Nui for forgiveness. If this was indeed what she was doing, Mata-Nui wasn’t going to be on her side of this battle. The blood trickled down her arm to the ground, little droplets of red bright as day on the earth. Nagii scoffed bitterly. A mercy plea to a higher power? she thought scornfully. She must be joking – no higher power is going to be saving her behind. ~:~ Review Topic

Congrats, Inferna! =D *glomps*

I'm thankful for living near one of the new ones opening, although it's a bit of a long drive just to go to a LEGO store, honestly. Still awesome, though.

Also, since having my avatar updated, my avatar looks as I described my BZPower counterpart. Thanks go to Taka Nuvia for drawing my BZP-self. :3

Sorry, but topics like these aren't allowed. ;)Otherwise? Hard to say. There have been a lot of things that have happened, the biggest being the upgrade on the forums.

Not necessarily. I'd just say don't do it for one reason: You can get a shirt you can actually wear in real life as opposed to on your avatar for the same price. Besides, I'd rather get games on the Marketplace as opposed to avatar items. =/

I waaaaant it. ;_; OK, that actually is awesome. If I get a 3DS now, I must get that color.

Lying on a brick - it was a Cordak Blaster. I didn't dare touch it, honestly.

Clash – Part One “What is it, Nagii?”She sighed, wrapping herself in the leaf suit tighter to keep warm in the winter landscape. The Matoran of Lightning took a look at everyone around her to confirm her prediction. The face which she presumed missing was indeed omitted from their group. She took a long, steely glance at Stelt, and the blue of her icy eyes glistened sorrow only the Toa of Sonics noticed in her pupils. But he made the same notice she had at that moment.“We have been betrayed,” she announced. Deep within she felt anger…she knew she should have seen it coming. A leak such as that is one that she should have been able to plug, able to notice when it came time to come to her attention. She blamed herself for the mistake, mentally beating herself angrily. Nagii gritted her teeth, attempting to put a stopper on the anger.Her predictions had been wrong at first – Naizu had not been their enemy after all. He was an ally most of all, for he was more trustworthy than Irui had been. It seemed less likely for him of the two to stay with them at this desperate hour of the battle to be fought.“We have to get out of here then,” Stelt eventually said. “Jilin didn’t answer us, so they’re in trouble, no doubt. We have to reach the Water Region – the question is, how can we get out of here fast?”The thought sent a blow to Nagii’s mind and heart. It stung throughout…he was endangered. Anger began to rapidly grow in her interior, and slowly her own needs began to take over her system. Again she gritted her teeth, clenching her fists tightly.No! she screamed to herself in her mind. I can’t let my own selfish needs take over my duty. I know I’d only endanger my comrades now if I tried to go and attempt saving him. He’ll be alright…deep down I know it. I can’t go now…She relaxed herself quickly. She wasn’t going to let anger cloud her vision, to let it throw off focus on the mission at hand. A thought now came to mind – the one thing that would help them now.“Give me the binoculars,” she said. Atuu handed a pair to her, and she hastened to look through them.Nagii looked carefully through the set of binoculars. The defense line which they were supposed to rendezvous with Alpha-Bravo at was at least a few meters from the AB’s positioning: A cliff-face in the Water Region that gave them a clear view of their situation. The climate control center which was at least a mile or two from Whiskey-Echo’s position had been set to full power now, for the blizzard conditions had lessened. She could see with more clarity through the binoculars now.She saw the defense line: Whoever the offender was had neglected the group of Matoran soldiers. They were still hidden in the small amount of forestry a few meters from the cliff-side. She viewed the cliff-side next. Standing on the cliff was a slightly tall, dark figure, unable to make out in the darkness. They turned around, viewing something on the ground. There was no telling who they were or what they were looking at, but Nagii could only guess that it was Irui. But upon closer examination, the figure in the dark was not at all built like Irui, but instead more feminine-looking.“Gentlemen,” Nagii began coldly and quietly. “We have found our woman.”A woman? Stelt shook his head at the thought. Could it be Tikiani? But he knew that it wasn’t possible. Indeed, Tikiani had been nearing the Water Region on her approach towards the island, but it was impossible that she could have possibly cleared at least a mile’s worth of distance in minutes to ambush the group.“As everybody is probably wondering,” she continued. “No, it is not Tikiani. The being does not resemble her at all. But she is indeed on their side.” She sighed for a moment. Out of all people, she could have been a true great among the team…had she not run away from her team, she would have been here, helping them in the battle now. But that was the past, and Tikiani had chosen that fate for herself.Atuu looked at each of them for a moment, and sighed. “It does not matter now who is on their side and who isn’t,” he said bitterly. “The significant point is that we need to get out of here. Now, the quickest way, if you could all bear with me…” He took a quick look at the ground – he took his spear from his back, wielding it as if it were a feather, and touched the icy tip to the ground.Shooting out in spikes were layers of ice, covering the ground with lightning-fast speed. At least forty to fifty feet of ice had covered the ground at that rate of speed; he stepped upon the ice, skating and sliding with control. Each of the members of the group watched him with awe, the exception being Nagii, who simply stared with crossed arms, shaking her head. A sly smile crossed her face still, despite her resentment towards his straightforward suggestion. What she more resented was the fact she didn’t think of it herself.“For those who aren’t skilled on the ice can be assisted by Stelt,” Atuu explained, rambling on as he skillfully skated across the silvery blue, glistening ice. “His Miru should easily levitate those who aren’t used to this way. Anybody who doesn’t want to take that route, follow me, please,”Nagii adjoined Atuu, while the rest followed quickly. Naizu followed speedily with Atuu, Nagii and Stelt close behind. Within minutes, the elevation lowered, ice continuously spreading as Atuu created it each step they took. They were lower to the ground having exited Kino Valley, and now harder to see in the darkness – it was only minutes that they reached the barrier, allowing them into the neighboring Water Region. It was at this point the temperature changed, and they would no longer be able to skate on the ice. Walking was their only form of transportation and crossing distances now. ~:~ Charlie-Delta had hit the beaches. Weapons in hand, they traveled silently up the shoreline. The cloaking devices had kept them unseen in the night. At least that didn’t malfunction too often, Tulya thought. She sighed. She was new to the battlefront – she was unlike her cohorts. She was native to a foreign land, far from Rohan. She never imagined to be a Toa…it is an honor to be part of a team like the Rohan.She shook away those thoughts. She watched around her carefully – her group was inching their way up the beaches, just as the team opposite them did. It was best that they followed the group instead of remaining stationary while they watched Uzian’s followers one by one approaching the beaches.Tulya heard an irregular sound of water – a splash, as if silenced for a moment but then whoever caused it gave up on the task. “What was that?” she whispered in the darkness. Silvian turned around. The Toa of Iron was distressed when he heard her whisper. He viewed the shore, and saw nothing.A repeat of the sound was triggered, and swiftly Watua searched behind them. There was a rush of wind, loud in their ears. They looked around again – suspicion and concern overwhelmed them. Another sound of water splashing came, until it came to the point that each readied their weapons. Within seconds from that moment, weapons clashed. The enemy had met them head-on, without any pause. Sword against sword, projectiles firing, elemental blasts flying off to the distance – all of it had triggered out of nowhere. They had been prepared for it, and that was the only hope they were riding on for their comrades.Watua’s featherweight katana slashed rapidly at the slender, female emerald figure in front of him – she had daggers darting at him, while he dodged them with difficulty. He watched as her form changed to an unfamiliar one; he gazed in awe as abruptly her figure distorted into that of a purple Nui-Jaga. He jumped back for a moment, and watched as she attempted to rush forward, about to launch venom. He somersaulted, making one strike towards her that would hit her head on, but the figure again distorted, returning to the previous form. The figure became indistinct once again, changing into that of a scarlet hawk.She spit fire from her beak straight at the Toa of Air – he repelled the blast of fire with a strong burst of his own element wind, extinguishing the fire quickly. She darted this way and that towards him, difficult for Watua to predict its plan of action. There was no pattern emerging from her attacks, and it made it harder for him to dodge each time. Eventually the shape-shifter tripped him: He landed on the ground hard, and watched as she dive-bombed straight at him. His last attempt at a swift attack towards her was a quick thrust of his katana straight at her right wing, and the attack hit home. She screamed in that of a bird’s way, and flew backwards, hurt.Watua watched as she gained altitude, flying off at a rapid pace with extreme difficulty towards the Water Region. He was still in shock at the shape-shifting abilities of the being, but he knew it was no time to think of that now. The air-Toa quickly rushed to assist Tulya and Litela in their own battle against a tall earth-Toa – it was a devious mercenary, no doubt.He’s recruiting everybody, isn’t he? Watua thought scornfully as he rushed headlong into the fray. ~:~ She could feel the wind rushing past her as she ran at a speedy pace. The forest surrounded her with lush green trees, exotic plants that glowed a bright yet strange blue in the night…there were all sorts of wonders in Attempting to get through this was an impossibility – the majority of those on Rohan knew that was not an exaggerated point. It was a forest of the Water Region that connected with the Air Region. It was an invisible forest to say the least, for it could only be seen by those destined to be Toa or those who are Toa.Talin ran faster than ever before, despite the advanced weight her broadsword added to her load. She engaged in the power of her Suletu, and concentrated: I’ll come back, Jilin, I’ll come back… The message transmitted from her mind to his in an instant. She thought for a moment, and knew the next person to send a message to.Nagii, Jilin’s out cold along with the rest of Alpha Bravo. I’m in the Forest of the Toa, and I’m headed straight for the beaches. I know there is something I should do there…somebody I am destined to meet. Your group needs to meet at the cliff-face – an advanced warning, there’s a Dark Hunter that will be there to meet you. She’s the only one there…she’s not too crazy about ice and loud sounds, apparently, so use that as a weakness. I’m going to be meeting up with Charlie-Delta, but there’s still something unresolved before their location that I’m drawn to. Talin out.She disengaged her mask power, and continued to the end of the tunnel like forest. She could see light at the end of it: The exit. It would drop her right at the strip of beach at the Water Region. Whatever was pulling her towards the location, it was a powerful force, but it certainly was not positive.The thought of it all came to mind…the Crystal of Life was endangered. For thousands of years, it had been protected by the Toa Rohan, and now the island itself was in danger of disintegrating. She herself had not seen the Crystal, but she believed in its existence – the island would not be there, if the Crystal did not exist.The tale of the Crystal of Life itself was amazing. As the story goes, the Crystal of Life was made up of all elements in the universe: Fire, Air, Water, Stone, Earth, Ice, Lightning, Sonics, Iron, Psionics, Plasma, Magnetism, Gravity, The Green, Light, Shadow, Time, Creation, and, of course, the key ingredient, Life.A god or goddess represented each element – the Great Beings picked average Matoran or Toa in the universe, and provided them with one special quality that was extremely rare. They could either be on Rohan or come from across the universe. But at one point, a god or goddess would be at Rohan at one point in their life. Should the crystal be broken into shards, there would be a period of time of which the island would slowly try to break away from the core.One time in the course of history has the crystal had all of its guardians on the island – its creation. When they were present on the island, it triggered the elemental powers of the crystal and created an invincibility that would last thousands of years. Over time it would wear down: If the guardians were once again present on the island, its invincibility would be revived and restored.A story that is told of this is that one Matoran is created from the crystal when the guardians are present on Rohan, and it is a special kind of Matoran known as a Crystal Matoran, Matoran of the Crystal, or Az-Matoran. There is perhaps only one of this Matoran in the entire world, and there should only be another one if the guardians returned to the Crystal’s sanctuary.Talin chuckled to herself for a moment. Yet another tall tale told, but I believe it, she thought. But there was no time for amusing herself at that moment, for she heard a rustling of leaves in the forest. There couldn’t be anyone else here unless they were a part of the Toa Rohan… She heard it louder in her ears this time, growing louder, closer with every step she took. She stopped, her heart racing, breathing fast. It was right behind her…She spun around swiftly, taking out her broadsword and hearing it clash with its own opposite. She could not believe her eyes…after all these years she thought she would never see the face again, and only hoped she would never see the face again.“So, we meet again,” the being opposite her announced. The voice was like a chive driven into Talin’s heart. Tall and thin, with blue-grey, purple, and golden armor, carrying a broadsword on her back and a longbow in her hand with an arrow ready to be propelled: Tikiani, former member of the Toa Rohan. Her closest friend…or who was once her closest friend. It made it twice as painful now than it ever was before to be confronting her now…when the battle was about to begin.Light shone through the forest suddenly. Dawn was approaching. Despite the night’s darkness, the sun had a special way of rising on Rohan – the night would be completely black, until it burst forth blinding light and beautiful skies, as if a flash-bang had just exploded in the universe to show the magnificent sunlight. When it happened, Talin took the moment to rush forward as the light blinded Tikiani, pinning her against the row of hedges to her left. Both anger and sorrow overwhelmed her. It was about time to get over it and for her to realize that she had no choice in the matter but to do what was needed for Rohan’s safety.First, however, there were a few loose ends she wanted to tie up.“Alright,” Talin started haughtily. “Let’s start our routine questioning. But instead of going through the absolutely useless barrage of questions, I’ll head straight to the lightning round. Why did you abandon us? We lost hundreds of our soldiers, all on account of your cowardice.” The water-Toa struggled to keep the Toa of Psionics from escaping her position. It was time she finally answered this question.“Lightning round, huh?” Tikiani replied belligerently. “I’ll tell it to you slow. I had a lot of reasons to leave at the time.”“You’re not answering the question correctly,” the Toa of Water retorted. “Try again.”“All right, if you want the truth so badly,” the female mercenary answered. “I’ll give you an advanced warning. It will hurt.“For one,” she began. “I was tired of the orders and commands. The job day in and day out. I wanted action. I liked all of you quite a bit, but I couldn’t stand the fact that I was never really exposed to the adventurous side of our team. What hurt me more…was whenever I asked for a task to dispose of a few hundred useless Skakdi, I was denied the opportunity. But it was worse when the battle came…when those Skakdi marched our way.“Fighting on my home turf wasn’t great because I had a weakness for Rohan. I loved it too much to actually affect the landscape because of battle. It’s a general rule of thumb that people are weaker on their own land than they are on somebody else’s because they could careless about the scenery in another place. It hurts to see such a beautiful land be filled with destruction and destroyed. The problem was, when it came time to defend it, I didn’t love it enough to protect it.“When that opportunity for action knocked, I didn’t know what to do. I hadn’t been given any assignments for any task on the battlefield in years, even if it was a simple battle that could be fought by a one-man army, or large chaotic fights that would take more than dozens of soldiers to win. It was as if I had forgotten all I had been taught. I was confident for the first half of the battle, but when I was essential to winning the battle for the team…I ran.” ~:~ Review Topic

Happy birthday!

First ever Toa is Helryx - who became Toa first was Krakua, I'm pretty certain. I could be completely wrong with my answer, but I definitely advise you check BS01 for details if you haven't already.

Sounds like fun. =D I'll be spending the week, four hours every day, at dance camp. I both can't wait for it and am not looking forward to the pain I'll have for a week. Ugh... >_<

At least under an hour for me - I've got it down to a science. And at one point, I had listened to Still Alive over two hundred times on my WMP, but the data went away for it for some reason. Probably over three hundred from both playing the game and the times I've listened to it after the data wipe. xD

Yes - everybody has them. It is the text-version of showing how many proto-points you have. If it had a - before the number, then you'd be worried. The warn history shows when you were given your proto points.Hope this helps!

SS: Awesome. I'd check it out. ^^ Name change: Like I said before, keep it the way it is. Or that's my thought - it's your decision to make, after all. 'i' sounds interesting, but I think ibrow is pretty good at the moment.

Happy birthday!

PAGE-BREAKAGE! RED ALERT, PEOPLE, RED ALERT! *ahem* ...Congratulations. Seems I'm a little late to the party, but better late than never.

Yeah, Xbox, if nobody noticed, released the 'Avatar' concept a few years after Wii released, where they had the Mii concept. I can see why Nintendo held off for so long from releasing the ability to socialize with people online, considering Xbox's immature audience (Go into a Call of Duty lobby some time and just listen. Same with Halo. Enough ten-year-olds on there?). They would be catering to this audience if they released online play for their games where you could actually chat with other people - I'd prefer it if they sticked to family-styled gameplay, as they always have. Still, Zelda will no doubt come. Skyward Sword was amazing, and it took them that long to release another Zelda game on the Wii after Twilight Princess, but hey, it will take a few years. If you want the game to have excellent detail and graphics and be the most wonderful game you've ever played as opposed to Call of Duty's 'game every year' operation, you'll have to be patient.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to -WR- and yourself, ET! (If I'm not mistaken, I thought you were Retired Staff, ET? Just a question, it doesn't say so as your member group, but just thought I'd mention.)

@Chols: DELICIOUSNESS @Bambi: That's a pretty good prize I suppose, lol.

A Toa of Lightning with a mysterious past, very secretive about herself but socializes quite a lot with the members of the site, not daring to reveal too much - nothing should it be information she should not reveal so carelessly with others. She is tall and thin with hazel green eyes, a Kanohi Huna with a red flame-like scar near the left eye, high-heeled 'boots', a cross-over between Metru, Hordika, and Nuva armor on the torso, and deep, amthyst purple color being a primary color. Dark ruby-red is accented on parts of her armor, resembling flames. With her she has a broadsword infused with lightning and fire elements to double its dosage and make it even more powerful than the strength it has without this feature. Although known as Peach 00 or Peach, a secondary identity she has is Zeya.And that's just a brief description.

Now what? D:
