Oooh looky ibrow's got 4,000 posts. Nice banner...although this comedy's fallen off the wheel since the middle of February (huh, exactly a month) I'm eager to see it back again. I like the contest too, it'll give me stuff to do over spring break. ~LTT~

I'll look that up later. Anyway, some important news regarding Season 3: First of all, there will be a Season 3. It will be the last season in TFC. The full Fire Chronicle will be revealed by the end of Season 3, not Season 2. The prologue will feature letters, written by TTP and Meta respectively. This season will focus more on the need to work together and fix the universe, rather than full-on destruction. At least one character from TAoT that has not appeared in TFC yet will play a major role. The preliminary title for Season 3 is Terror. So what do you think? Chapter 7 will be up by the end of the weekend. ~LTT~

@Takua: It's good. And yes. I'm not going to jump into much detail on that, hopefully you guys aren't lazy like me and will search that awful bobcat. Actually don't. Save yourselves from that horrible creature. @MT: 1. explained in special 2. even though I don't know nuch about Metroid, I couldn't pass this up 3. ??? No new chappy right now, but if you want to read up on a particular Great Being... http://bzpcomedy.wikia.com/wiki/Ranox ...there's some info there. ~LTT~

...that's really discouraging and mean to all of us that work hard here. I choose to do this in my free time (other than play Zelda) and I try to work hard at it. Perhaps the comedies are similar to each other, but compared to epics and short stories, very different indeed. We come here for a laugh, and if that's what you don't want, don't click the link. And I actually found the CCC very helpful when I used it in TAoT. I suppose it has changed since then, however. And I suppose the name could be changed to something more on-topic or thought out. ~LTT~

...you really didn't read Chapter 4? Ugh. Anyway, to give you a break from the main story... The Fire Chronicles: Amidst Nintendo Tourney 2: New Toys! In Snake Desert’s Coliseum… Ex: Ah, so here we are once more. Since our last meet, we have received more fighters. Thus, we cannot continue with the tourney until we iron out these competitors. R.O.B.: Aw, but I beep want to kick some bleep butt. Ex: Too bad. You’ll have to wait until the next tourney. Anyway, our first competitors are Snake and DK. DK: Ook ook! This’ll be easy! Snake: Yeah, really. (punches DK, who gets sent far, far away in a little twinkle) Ex: …well that was fast. Snake: Please. They wouldn’t put me in the top 5 of the tiers for nothing. Ex: Next we have one of the lowest of the tiers…Samus. Samus: And who’s my competitor? Sheik: Me. (fires a punch at Samus, who dodges it and drops a bomb on Sheik) …ah, that hurts. Samus: (encroaches closer to Sheik, who starts to get up) For a tier low, I’m actually beating you. Sheik: (hookshots on Samus, then starts beating her) Yeah, really. (lets go of Samus, and punches her into the wall) Ex: Ah. This battle has passed a minute. Let’s spice things up a little now. (presses a button, then looks at the Coliseum floor) Coliseum Floor: (rises up from the ground, sending Sheik and Samus skyward) Sheik: Woah! (looks down, noticing she is a good fifty feet above the ground) Ex: And let’s add this into the game. (hurls a Smash Ball into the sky) Samus: And now’s my chance. (punches the Smash Ball repeatedly, and gains the rainbow power of a Final Smash) Here we go! Down Below, in the Stands… Ridley: Excuse me…sorry…excuse me. (walks through the seats, then finds an empty one and sits down) R.O.B.: Why are you bleeping here? Ridley: Oh…I heard there was a tourney going on with Samus. I was hoping that I’d be able to see that horrible enemy of mine explode. R.O.B.: Oh please…she won’t bleeping explode. Ridley: Sure. (points to red and orange armor falling from the sky, and catches Samus’ helmet) R.O.B.: (eyes widen) Oh my. (takes the helmet from Ridley, who is sitting next to him, and cradles it in his arms) She’s…she’s…alive! (looks at bottom of helmet, which is not dripping with blood) Ridley: WHAT?!? THERE’S NO WAY SHE COULD’VE—screw this, I’m out of here. Tell Samus I said hi. (walks out of the stands) R.O.B.: ... On the Fighting Platform… Samus: …well, that felt good. But where’s—ERGH! Sheik: (punching Samus from behind) Come on…you really thought I could lose to that? Samus: …shoot. Well, I could try to beat you with my plasma whip. Sheik: Not a chance. (transforms into Zelda) Zelda: (uses Nayru’s Love on Samus, blasting her far beyond the blast screen) Ex: And we have a winner…finally. Man, that has got to be the best battle I’ve seen in this coliseum! Of course, we must move on though…man, am I going to hate this. Next battle is Luigi…versus Bubsy. Bubsy: 3D! Ex: No…just no. Please no. Well, if anything, this battle might save Luigi from getting more beat up… Bubsy: (shoots Nerf gun at Luigi, who turns into a twinkle far, far away) Ex: (facepalms) Bubsy won…man, do I need a new job. EXTRA! EXTRA! is a subdivision of The Fire Chronicles, which in itself is a subdivision of NAW. ©2013 All rights reserved.

@MT: Yeah. I try to include those little bits of randomness in there; I'll try to balance it out for later chapters. If any of you don't know who Bubsy is, by the way... Ugh. You can consult one of your search engines to find out more about this...thing. @Takua: Helryx thought nothing could stand in her way...obviously she was wrong. Roodaka, on the other hand...knows to be careful. I'll explain Roodaka in depth in later chappys. The Fire Chronicles: Amidst Chapter 6: The Rising In the Orderly Fortress… Karzahni kneeled in front of the throne. “My mistress.” “Indeed.” Helryx’s aura had changed immensely; the power emitting from her was changing the color of the room from a medium blue to a glossy, obsidian black. “The ritual is complete. Are the prisoners here?” Bowser brought the two Nintendo characters in, while Ghirahim dragged Ackar in. “Here they are,” Bowser growled. “They’ve tried to…test me, a couple of times, but it was awfully easy to bring them down.” “Oh, not awfully easy,” Ghirahim corrected. “It was insanely easy. And I thought Mario was supposed to be a rival to my series.” “But no, he doesn’t even have a sword,” Zant added. “Let alone the darkness of twilight.” “And yet, he is so—“ Helryx stopped mid-sentence. Ranox was holding her back from fighting, and dragging her closer to the plan… ”Hook the TV up. I think we need to prove just how deadly we are to the Order.” In the Council… “Oh, you guys are driving me crazy,” Mata Nui said, facepalming. The Council was in complete disarray. Papers were all over the floor, chairs were knocked over, and there was just a mess overall. Mata Nui had brought in the Nintendo characters as well as the Toa Voya to fill in, which was obviously a bad idea. “Waugh!” Luigi yelled, being chased by Fox. “Get away from me-a!” “Nah. It’s fun to chase someone who, in the end, will get pummeled due to their own luck.” Fox dove into Luigi, who screamed as he fell to the floor. “FALCON…PUNCH!” Mata Nui looked at Kazi, who was sitting at the cleanest seat there. “How are you so quiet?” Kazi shrugged. He found it better not to speak, because— He’d get interrupted, Mata Nui thought. “Oh well—wait a second—we’re being called.” The conference screen zoomed down, and Snake entered the room. “Quiet! We need to hear everything that’s going on!” “Indeed you do.” The image of Helryx was projected on the screen, and everyone was dead silent. Fox dropped a pin, and he heard it hit the floor. He turned to face the screen. “Ah, hello Mata Nui…and you look familiar too.” She pointed at Snake. “Where are they?” Snake interrogated. “Show them to me, or I’ll—“ “Kill me? Oh, you won’t have half a chance. Bowser, show them to the camera. I’d imagine they could say—never mind.” “Argh, all right.” He dragged Captain Falcon in front of the camera, while holding Mario in his clutch. “They’re alive.” “Mario!” Luigi screamed. “How did I-a get kidnapped, but not-a you-a?” Mario mused. “Huh. Now that I think about it, how come I didn’t get both of you? Oh well. Hey, Captain, got any words to say?” “He is forbidden to speak,” Helryx said. “Bring out the Glatorian.” Karzahni pushed Bowser and the prisoners away, then dragged Ackar up to the camera. “Here he is, battered and broken, but still alive. He may speak, right, Helryx?” Helryx waited for Ranox’s response, deep inside her head. “Yes, but only for a minute.” Ackar looked at the Council. “I’m so sorry, guys. I’ve let you all down—“ “You sure have,” Karzahni muttered. “—and I feel horrible. They’ve beat me, trying to get something about Tahu out of me, but I’m not gonna give up.” Ackar glanced at his captors, then turned back to the camera. “You guys need all the help you can get, especially now that Helryx has—“ “Time’s up. Get out.” Helryx pushed him out of his chair, but Ackar drew his sword and knocked her out of the way. “Helryx has a Great Being inside of her. And they’re searching for the prophecy, one that will utterly destroy you guys if she…and he get it. Nuhrii’s in danger, and he’s searching for it too…you have to help him, don’t even go for me…” “Nuhrii…” Snake thought for a moment…the Toa had idolized Snake. “We will. And good luck with your brawl.” “Thanks. I need it.” Ackar drove his sword into the TV, and the conference ended. The alarm was blaring, and even with the combined efforts of Captain Falcon and Mario, Ackar had little hope of escaping. “But I’ll try. Yes, I’ll try,” Ackar said, watching Helryx growl and speed towards him… In the Sand Gate… “Tahu?” Onua asked. “Are you alright?” “Yeah, is it too much that we got brought back as the Sand Sages?” Pohatu asked. Tahu sank to the ground. His armor gleamed gold—and this time he noticed it—as well as the others, and he sat on a black throne overlooking a dark blue room. “Oh no. You’ve got to be kidding me.” Ackar looked up, and his face lost color. “Get back, get back, what are you doing here—“ But Helryx glanced up, and there he was, still, clenching the throne. “Ah, and as if my job could get any easier…” She raised her hand, and Tahu slipped off the chair and onto the floor. Ackar tried to get near, but a black wall separated him from Helryx. “No! Tahu! She’ll kill you!” “You see, Ackar has a lot of faith in me. I will certainly kill you, and then condemn you to the Wig Salon for eternity. Oh, not like that pesky narrator…or TSO…or Berix. You’ll be stuck with Teridax.” “Whatever the Wig Salon is, no, I’m not going there. But you will.” Tahu sent a beam of flames into Helryx, but they disappeared. “Tahu, stop!” Ackar yelled. “It’s no use! She’s been possessed by a Great Being!” “Wrong. I house a Great Being, and thus his powers. You see, I can kill you, and I gladly would.” She charged him, stabbed the surprised Toa in the chest, and left her sword in it. “NO! YOU WILL NOT KILL HIM!” Ackar’s Silver Armor flashed, and the barrier shattered. His sword aflame, he slammed into Helryx. She slid across the floor, then stood and took her sword out of Tahu’s chest. “This is not over. I will meet you in the forgotten land…” She disappeared, and Ackar ran to Tahu. “Return the flame to thee,” Ackar said. He plunged his sword into Tahu’s wound, and he was healed. “What…how did you do that?” Tahu said. “Because of me.” TTP stepped out from behind the throne. “Yes, I was taken from the House as well, just before Vezon 2 siphoned my platinum. I taught him many things while we were in the cell together, and it’s not your business to know, Tahu.” “Then I won’t ask. But what will I do now?” “The Rock Gate leads into here. You can go back from there. Your group is also there as well, don’t worry. You’ve received the prophecy from the Sand Sages?” “To aid and defend. Yes, I have.” “Good. And as for you, Ackar. Return to the Council. You are most needed there, for Mata Nui is having quite a hard time managing alone. Kopaka and Lewa will be there with you as well.” TTP watched Bowser drag the unconscious Nintendo prisoners out of the room. “I must remain here, to further assess this awful mess. It’s only going to get worse from here on. I trust that you will be able to find the first part of the prophecy before the Empire can get the entire thing, Tahu. And as for you, Ackar…you may not be one of the prophecy, but you play a big role in this. Already you have, and already you will. And as for me…I must regain control of NAW…and yeah, it really is called Name and Address Withheld. I must arise in surprise…the fallen rule shall arise in surprise…” “That’s a part of the prophecy,” Tahu mused. “I mean, it has to be, you spoke that in an aged accent—“ “Go, and do not falter, my children!” To Be Continued… And still, Helryx cannot think things through. Will she ever?!? ~LTT~

@MT: Ranox has powers that override the Narrator's thus, the speech between is black and bolded. @Takua: And I agree. How was it? The Fire Chronicles: Amidst Chapter 5: Within the Shadowed In the MU… Nuhrii looked at TSO. “You dare—“ “Oh, please don’t kill me,” TSO gasped, backing away. “I’ve already been through so much to return.” “Oh, shut up and die, you—wait a minute…to RETURN?” “Come on, Matoran. Be sensible here. Yes, I am a member of the group that Narrator led out of the Wig Salon.” “It’s true.” Narrator shimmered into view. “Ah, so I see you’ve found your head.” “You have no idea. And I see you’ve gotten your job back.” “Indeed I have. Anyway, trust me, guys, he won’t deal any harm to you. And he’s a pretty good warrior too.” “Oh, really?” Taka chided. “He ran from BH in sheer terror!” “Do I need to quick-show you a flashback?” FLASHBACK… “Well, this is it, guys.” Narrator pointed at a sign. “Ranox’s Palace.” “Finally…the wait is almost over…” Teridax whispered. “What was that, Makuta?” “Oh, nothing, Narrator. Nothing at all…hehe.” “Okay then. Guys, it’s time. Remember the plan, and you’ll be alive in no time.” “Wait…what’s the plan again?” Berix asked. “Cool dude.” “Shut up, Makuta. We’ll go over it one more time…we sneak in, get the Fused Shadows, and escape via the Mirror of Twilight.” “Wait a second. How am I supposed to know if I’m going towards him or not?” the headless TSO queried. “Don’t worry, I got you. Let’s roll.” FLASHFORWARD… “So then Ranox ate Makuta, but I and TSO took him down. Berix got the Fused Shadows too.” TSO laughed. “It was fun. We beat the palace out of him.” “Yeah…we destroyed his palace and sent him to the Cave of the Forgotten. Then we got out.” “Ah, I see now,” Artakha mused. He looked at TSO. “You have my trust.” “But how can we trust him? He was against what was right!” Gali objected. “That was the past.” Artakha said calmly. “And we’re going to need everyone we can get if we’re to destroy the empire.” “You’re right.” Roodaka sat on the throne, having heard everything they’d said. “Ah, I would’ve cherished this throne, and killed everyone who opposed me…and yes, a smarter way to go about than Helryx’s.” Roodaka paused for effect, then continued. “Of course…that’s why I had nothing to do with the war. But then again…I think having a Great Being terrorize the universe will be a more dramatic death, won’t it?” Roodaka disappeared, and then reappeared on top of the throne in a matter not unlike Ghirahim’s. “Surely for you.” Nuhrii ran to face her, but Artakha stopped him. “Your time has not come yet,” he muttered. “I will deal with this.” “Ah, surely because you have the Mask of Creation means you’ll beat me. Well, two can play at this game.” The Vahi flew onto Roodaka, and she slammed down her spear. Time stopped in the throne room, except for a protective ‘bubble’ around the queen and Artakha. “Try to beat me, ‘legendary figure’.” By the Fire Gate… The group arrived at the Fire Gate to an interesting scene. Malum (the Guardian, Sage, whatever you please to call him) was being chased by an orange cat…oh yes. “You’re not so tough,” Bubsy yelled, firing an atom at the defenseless Glatorian. “What could possibly go wrong?” “Everything. Just everything.” Sonic homing attacked into Bubsy, and the cat instantly died. “I mean, come on! This guy gives one-hit KO’s a bad name!” The group gaped at Sonic, every single one of their mouths hanging open. “What? Say something! Am I so beautiful that you’ve no words left?” “Oh…no. Just no.” Kopaka went outside with Lewa, shuddering. They, due to their awesome luck, promptly fell off the cliff into Goron Mines. “Huh. Do they always do that?” Malum queried. “Well…they kinda do,” Kiina said. “Where does this portal lead?” “Tanking Station 22. I’m guessing you don’t need to get there, right?” “Yeah. We need to get to Makuhero City,” Gelu said. “Overbite City? Oh—oh, sorry, I mean Makuhero City. Yeah, I don’t know where the portal is. Sorry.” Malum turned back to his chamber, but stopped short and turned around. “But I believe I have something for you, hero.” He looked at Tahu. “Ah…yes. Do they have to leave?” Tahu queried. “…Kiina doesn’t. But the rest must.” After everyone had left, Kiina looked at Malum. “So I do have a part to play in this?” “Indeed. You are one of the Seven…I’m sure you know why.” “Why? Because of the relationship I have with him?” Kiina glanced at Tahu, who stood there in silence. “You have your own part to play in all of this, Kiina. Just think of Groose in Skyward Sword." After Link’s Departure… “I’m a failure, Grannie,” Groose cried, banging on a wall outside the Sealed Temple. “I’ll never be as good as Link…nor will I ever be able to admit it.” “Well…I don’t know about admitting your thoughts to Link,” the old woman answered. “But I know you have a role to play in this. Now, how to seal The Imprisoned again…” “You see? I am a failure!” Groose cried for about three more dungeons, before finally realizing his true potential. Before the Second Imprisoned Battle… “Hey, Link! Look at this…I call it the Groosenator!” Groose looked at Link, who would not say a word. “Silent but deadly…anyway, it can catapult bombs at that scaly monster thing! Isn’t it great?” “OH NO!” ‘Grannie’ looked down at the Sealing Spike, which had a burst of shadow coming out of it. “Link! Hurry down there quickly and restore the…never mind, it got out. Well, I suppose you could get down there and reseal it.” Link hurried down the Sealed Grounds, while Groose put a GIANT bomb flower into the catapult. “Hey, Grannie! You want to hitch a ride?” “Oh, no. I’m fine down here, child. You just help Link defeat The Imprisoned while I get some coffee.” Of course, we all know how this ends, so why bother showing you the rest of it? By the Fire Gate… “You understand now, Kiina?” “No, child. I’m much too old to stand outside…of course I understand.” “Good. Anyway, let me teach my part to you…” Hidden in the forgotten land… “And that’s it.” “Why are these always so short?” Tahu asked. “Well, it’s a prophecy, not a comedy,” Malum said. “And plus, there are three other…Sages, I guess, who must give you a part of the prophecy. What can you infer from this one?” “It’s hidden in a forgotten land…but what? Mata Nui is destroyed, and Metru Nui was repopulated—“ “You’re on the right track. Yes, the prophecy is located in the MU. The sources of power emitting from there are absolutely ridiculous.” “And Nuhrii’s there too,” Kiina said. “HF must be searching for it—that’s why they called us—and if the Visorak have invaded…so must the Empire.” In the Old Throne Room… “Why must you follow us?” Artakha yelled, rolling away from Roodaka’s dagger slice. “Alas, you do not know the truth. We plan to seek the prophecy—and destroy it. And it is somewhere in this robot.” “What? How do you know that?” “Power. Pure, deadly power, beyond even my own. The power…of a Great Being.” “Great Being? What Great Being would join your side?” “I know.” The time barrier shattered, and Narrator and TSO walked up behind Artakha. “Ranox.” “Finally! There is one in this group who put two and two together!” Roodaka exclaimed. “But why celebrate…when I’m just wasting time not killing you off?” To Be Continued… New Characters: Teridax (in flashback) Bubsy Malum Groose “Grannie” (and yes, the two will appear again)

iBrowser.

...no comment. Yeah, Flying Squirrels don't die (oh wait, that's from Gavroche's oneshot). And to think I thought that Fi would be in there . Yuck. I'm with Tahu, I'd rather go to Burger King than...whatever this^ is. Good chappy. ~LTT~

Yeah, wouldn't you mean divided by 0? ~LTT~

iBrowser, it's very very clever. ~LTT~

I'd love to see a SS Link; there's really so much they can do with himdrom that game. His Down-B move could be changed to a Skyward Strike, his Side B as the Beetle or Gust Bellows...there's certainly a lot (just as long as there's no Fi involved) that can be done. I'd keep the Hero of Time as well, and change Toon Link up (Deku Leaf, anyone?) if I couldn't trash him.Zelda should be SS inspired in terms of looks, and her Final Smash could be her playing the Harp (Ballad of the Goddess, please), like DK's Final Smash. We could keep Sheik, but it would throw off the continuity. Ghirahim would be fun though! After all the Boss Battles, I can definitely think of something for him: Normal B: firing those black and red daggersSide B can be him slicing with the dark path Up B a teleport Down B can be the red finger/handFinal Smash: Ghirahim in his final form, with two of his swordsHe is clearly easy to fantasize as being in SSB4.~LTT~

Yeah, I don't think they'll change much. It'll be my first time playing WW, and I want to play the real game, not a revised version.Here's a thought to think about though...Do you think that a remake of TP (the first Zelda game I ever played) or any other "new" game will be rereleased for its tenth or higher anniversary? Nintendo did OoT for its 13th, WW for its 10th so far. Which game do you want remade (2D or 3D, so the original TLoZ is an option)?I personally want a remake of MM, because I've never played it and it looks cool (I've played TP, which has a similar dark tone to it). ALTTP remake sounds cool too; it seems to be the most famous out of the first four games. ~LTT~

No replies :/. WARNING: This chapter is the most critical one in the series thus far. Missing this chapter will almost ensure a death caused by misunderstanding. :P The Fire Chronicles: Amidst The Legend of Axonn: Ranox’s Awakening (Ch. 4) In the Orderly Fortress… “Come,” Helryx said. Axonn looked at his comlink and shrugged. “Why must you wait, Axonn? Come!” “Oh, sorry. Was just thinking about something, that’s all.” Axonn sighed, and turned off his comlink. Something had been bugging him, but he didn’t know what. He stepped into the teleporter, and at once he was transported to The Cave of the Forgotten. Helryx looked at him, but it was not the same eyes. These eyes had a commanding power to them, even greater than before Helryx had reappeared to the world. “Thank you.” …and yet it seemed as though there was no gratitude in her voice, but only a thirst for power, a thirst to rule the universe… “Have you done it yet?” Axonn queried. “Wouldn’t you know by now?” Helryx snapped. “No, I haven’t, but I intend to in the next five minutes.” “So why are you acting like him?” “He will not accept me any other way. That is part of our deal, I house him, he tells me what to do, but doesn’t control my body.” “…isn’t it dangerous to make a deal with a Great Being?” “There is no other way,” Helryx answered. “We went over this. He is still weakened, but if he appears in his true form, the very universe will shatter…I must house Ranox.” “Indeed you must.” The Great Being’s voice rumbled through the cave. “This is the only way to truly eliminate the Fire Chronicle…but of course we must find it.” “Roodaka is already taking care of this…though there are some parts of the Order lingering near it, no?” “Yes. But I can assure you, we will crush them like a bug.” A snap-like sound echoed throughout the cave, and a shrine appeared at the center of the path. “It is time. Come, o great empress.” Helryx turned to Axonn. “You must go.” “And why is that, o pushy being?” Helryx punched him with so much force that he slammed into the wall of the cave. “Don’t. However, there is…one final thing. If, for some chance, he takes over me, you will be able to kill him. Don’t ask how. You just…can.” Axonn gaped at Helryx. “K…k…kill a Great Being? How?” “You are not to ask how. However, I was blessed with that part of the Fire Chronicle…and I’m sure it will greatly help you.” “Especially because Ranox doesn’t really believe in the prophecy.” “Indeed. Also, kill Tahu for me when you get the chance. It won’t stop them all, but it will set them back…cripple them, so that they never rise again…” “COME, O GREAT EMPRESS.” A barrier of darkness smashed between Helryx and Axonn, and the latter was thrown out of the cave. On Aqua Magna Beach… “Huh. What should we do, kill him?” “That might be your dumbest idea yet, Onewa. Shouldn’t we wait to see what he says?” “Vakama, he’s holding his Ball and Chain on his chest, his axe on his back, and muttering, ‘Kill Tahu’,” Onewa said, facepalming. “You sure you don’t to kill him? He’s sleeping, he won’t feel a thing.” “You think I didn’t feel a thing when I got shoved into a Matoran Sphere?” Dume asked. “It was too late for you. At any rate, we should probably get Whenua’s old drill.” Onewa said, sighing. It had been three months already without his best friend. Without a war…or so it seemed. The Turaga, living far away from the Clearing in treehouses on the foot of the ocean, were luckily spared from Karzahni’s attack, but had heard of the news from Mata Nui. Axonn turned, and fell off the table and onto the floor. “WHOA! Where am I?” “In your final moments.” Onewa thrust the drill onto the Ball and Chain, but the old staff cracked in two on contact. “Yeah…that worked really well…” Vakama muttered. “Turaga…this has got to be some kind of joke. Why would he send me here?” Axonn mused. “That depends…who is ‘he’?” Dume questioned. “Oh, just…Yeto. Anyway—“ “Did someone say Yeto?” Ooccoo fluttered down from the chandelier. “Oh, gracious, yes! Finally, I’ve been looking for you, hero! Have you found the Dominion Rod yet?” “Oh…I remember you…well, I still have the Ball and Chain.” “Good, hero! Now we just need to find the Temple of Time and we’ll be all set!” “Ummm…we hate to break it to you, strange bird-lady. Huh, I guess that’s what I’ve been hearing at night…anyway, there’s no Temple of Time here,” Onewa muttered. “But there are Gates of Time here,” Dume added before Ooccoo got sad. “You can check those.” “Oh, gracious, yes! I got worried there for a second…come, hero! Let us find the Gates of Time!” Ooccoo went out the door, but stopped short and turned. “Aren’t you coming, axe-wielder?” Axonn looked at the Turaga, and then back at Ooccoo. “Sure thing, Ooccoo. After all, who’d want to be stuck with these blood-thirsty monsters?” “Oh, yes! Let’s go!” Ooccoo went out the door, followed by Axonn. “Well, that went well,” Onewa said. “Let’s hope we never appear in the comedy again.” “Agreed,” said the other Turaga. By the Water Gate of Time and Space… “Ah.” Berix turned to the adventurers. “You’ve arrived.” Kiina glared at him. “B…B…Berix?” she whispered. “Indeed. It seems NAW…um, the Great Beings, wanted me to awaken. Apparently my role in this world isn’t over yet…right, Tahu?” Tahu looked at Berix. There was no transparency to him—no ghostly features. This really was Berix. “I…I…” “Yeah, this is pretty hard for you, isn’t it?” “Well, you died.” Tahu muttered. “Hey, I almost killed Helryx for you.” “That’s the spirit! Well, it was destiny that kept you two alive, and brought me back! Not so bad now, is it?” Tahu looked at the floor. They were standing on still, perfect water—the Great Beings really could do anything. “Still hard.” “Yeah, I gotcha. Anyway, who else is here?” Berix looked across the room. “Gelu—still shocked?” Gelu nodded. “Yeah, a lot.” “What, did Certavus—“ “Yup, him too. This is a bad day for me.” “I see. You two—“ he pointed to the Nuva, “—look familiar, and then we have this blue bush.” “Oh…yeah…can I leave?” “No, you will not sink in the water, Sonic. Don’t worry. Anyway, apparently I’m supposed to tell you that this Gate leads to deep within Aqua Magna’s ocean floor.” “Well, we don’t need to go there,” Lewa said. “You sure? You could go treasure-hunting there for—never mind. Apparently, now you’re supposed to head to the Fire Gate.” “Well, I guess so.” Gelu walked out of the chamber and fell into a river. “Whoops. I didn’t tell you guys that there’s a 50 foot drop into Zora’s River that way?” “Apparently not,” Sonic muttered, absent-mindedly hurrying out the same way. “They are such cool dudes,” Kiina muttered. At this point, Kopaka and Lewa had gone out the safe way, leaving Kiina and Tahu to speak with Berix. “Are you new at this, by any chance, Berix?” “Actually, yes,” the Agori answered. “This white and gold dude kinda found me lingering around here a couple days ago, you know, because I escaped the Wig Salon. He put me here, gave me a packet I was supposed to memorize, and disappeared.” Tahu sighed. “That’s Meta for you.” Berix looked confused, so Tahu continued. “Ah, Meta took over the comedy and left TN:TS—“ “I know, actually. It was in the first ten out of two hundred pages in the packet.” Berix shuddered. “Kiina, can you leave? I have to speak with Tahu.” “Sure,” Kiina said, although she was greatly hurt by it on the inside. She left the safe way, leaving Tahu and Berix in the chamber. “So…you’re going to teach me some line that has to relate to the prophecy?” “Hold on.” Berix reached for the packet, and flipped to the middle of it. “Yes, I am.” But the host will seek power, and power she shall lend… “Is that it?” Tahu asked. “Well, yes. Certavus didn’t give you much either, did he?” “No. I have this much: The quiet one shall be humble until the…I think it’s end But the host will seek power, and power she shall lend.” “You are correct. You now have two lines of the Fire Chronicle.” “But what does this even mean? How is this going to help me?” “I would imagine that if the prophecy falls into the wrong hands, this is a failsafe…or you need this to obtain the prophecy. I think the latter sounds better.” “No—but what does it mean?” Tahu asked, although he pretty much knew the answer. “The first line describes you, and the other describes Helryx. You will be humble in the end—and Helryx wants power, and she is lending power—she is sharing power with a being greater than her, and possibly all of us.” To Be Continued… New Characters: Dume Berix ...What are your thoughts? ~LTT~

Well, I don't want to say that he took them out of his back or something. That would hurt. And I mean the Nuva. Before the Madness: Arrivals Chapter 5: Cue the Boss Music It all ends here…well, maybe. Winter 2004 (Part 3) “I wonder why we weren’t taken with them,” a Tahnok muttered. “Please, Toog. No one would take old things like us, even if we were younger. The Bohrok-Kal, on the other hand, are ‘better’ just because they have silver highlights.” “Touché, Poog.” Author’s Note: The –OOGs lead each Bohrok clan. Toog leads the Tahnok, Poog leads the Pahrak, Noog leads the Nuhvok, et cetera. You’ll get to know them in great detail during this comedy. All other Bohrok, while existing, won’t be mentioned except as a large group. “Well, now’s your chance to show them what you’re worth,” Tahu Mata said. The army stood at the steps to the foyer, ready to start walking down the stairs to what would certainly be chaos. “All right!” Poog lead his army down the stairs, or in other words…they rolled down the stairs. The other Bohrok followed suit as Lewa Mata turned to Tahu Mata. “Uh, Tahu. Won’t that scratch up the wood?” “That is the least of our concerns. And plus, when we’re done with this, I’ve gotten an approval from the guy to put in an addition to the House…and have it renovated.” “AWESOME. Let’s—“ “War first, party later.” Tahu Mata headed down the stairs, leading the Mata with him. “Oh, right. I still have to die before we can party.” In the Downstairs Hallway… Until the Addition, the BIONICLEs hung out here to eat and watch TV. So it was allowed for the BIONICLEs to stroll, not battle here…they were lucky that the guy was on a business trip. “DIE!” Pohatu Mata yelled, kicking Rahkshi with his Feet Additions whenever he got the chance. “You know,” Gali Mata said. “We BIONICLEs were not made for fighting.” “And how could you say that?!? I’m beating the Kraata out of these Rahkshi!” “With your feet, not your hands. The only ones out of all of us that have a sword are Tahu and Kopaka, but all they can do is throw them around.” “I do agree that LEGO was challenged back then, but honestly, at least my head isn’t one part.” “Huh. You’re right there. Honestly, when TLC starts doing that, consider it the end of BIONICLE.” “Don’t even think about that, Gali.” Later On… “Get away from me!” Lewa shrieked, waving his axe to hit the Rahkshi. A Turahk, however, simply held the axe and punched Lewa Mata in the gut, sending him under the couch. “Ugh, where am I? Oh no…I’ve been replaced *sniffle*.” “They can’t still be coming,” Tahu Mata muttered, bopping another Rahkshi on the head. “I’ve defeated about thirty of them…alone.” “Excuse me, Rahkshi, we need to get to the Basement,” Kopaka Mata negotiated. “What, you think they’re going to—“ But Tahu had spoken too late, for Kopaka too, went under the couch. The two would remain there until the end of the battle. “Never mind. It’s too bad he never saw The Phantom Menace.” With this, he charged into battle. In the Kitchen… “Well, this couldn’t get much worse,” Lhikan said. Four of the Bohrok-Kal were clinging to the Kikanalo’s legs, and two of them clung to Lhikan’s legs. “Oh, poo,” he said as he was pulled off of his steed and dropped to the floor. All six of the Bohrok-Kal stood around him. The red one said “We’re hungry. Can you get us food?” Lhikan winced. “You mean…you don’t want me dead?” “Of course not!” Tahnok-Kal exclaimed. “You see, the big titan’s been keeping us down the basement with no food and away from our brethren. Give us food.” “But I only just got here! How can you expect me to know where the food is? Don’t you guys have brains?” “Of course we do,” Kohrak-Kal said, hitting his eyepiece down. Inside sat a polished metallic white Xa-Kal. “And in fact, you need it more than I do.” The Kal replaced Lhikan’s mask with the brain, and sent the brain-controlled Toa to get them a snack. In the Basement… “Yup, he’s totally dead,” Lewa Nuva said. All twelve of the Nuva’s Toa Tools stuck out of Makuta’s back. “Let’s go.” “Not…so…fast.” A titan walked out from a storage bin. He was taller than Makuta, and yet looked like a mashup between him and Takanuva. “You didn’t think that he was the true obstacle, did he?” “Yup, you’re just an obstacle.” Tahu Mata leapt down for the top of the stairs, landing on Takutanuva and driving his sword into the titan’s shoulder. “ARGH! YOU HIT ME, YOU SON OF A—“ Takutanuva spun into a pole, fell over, and ceased all movement. Having leapt off of the titan before, Tahu Mata went over to him. “Is he—“ “Nope. But I certainly handled him better than you did, future self,” Tahu Mata said, smirking. “Shut up.” Tahu Nuva sighed. “Well, I suppose you’ve made up for leaving me in the dust last year—“ “Yeah, I suppose I have. Truce?” Tahu Mata held out his free hand. “Hold on.” Tahu Nuva took his weapons out of Makuta, before signaling to his group and the Turaga. “Let’s go, folks.” Tahu Nuva took his older self’s hand, and left the basement victoriously. However, new sets would continue to come, and more problems would arrive for the BIONICLEs… To Be Continued in Part 2 of Arrivals… New Characters: Toog Poog Kohrak-Kal Takutanuva

IT'S ALL BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LET MANTAX BEAT UP TORCH, IBROW! ...finally ze gets what ze deserves :P . She's already done it . And Chapter 2 is pretty interesting (hey, let's kiss some fridges). In all seriousness, that HF set will probably be trouble. Or could just be like Batreaux and be a harmless manbat. Good chappy. ~LTT~

We'll see about that. The Fire Chronicles: Amidst Special 1: Warriors in Training In the Underground Lab… Fox: Oh, this should be fun. So we’re having a mini-series on our training to fight for the Order? Meta: Well, I wouldn’t call it a mini-series, but a special for now. So…good luck. (disappears) R.O.B.: Great. But don’t we beep already know how bleep to fight? Sheik: Not in the ways of the Sheik, that’s one thing for sure. Today you start your first training class to fight for the Order of Tahu. DK: Like we didn’t know that. Sheik: Shut up, DK. Aren’t you supposed to be a mentor? DK: Nah, I’m helping out my nephew here. I’ll punch anyone who gets near him. Sheik: Perfectly all right then. Anyway, the first move you will learn…is the Punch. Fox: Really? Even Peach could punch. Peach: No duh. (punches Fox in the face, who stumbles back into Sheik) Sheik: (shoves Fox into the wall) Jeez, and I thought you were the quiet one. No insults pass through in this place. Got it? R.O.B.: I’m a beeping robot. Yeah, I beep got it. Snake: Perfect. (walks in and stops next to Sheik, giving her a note) Here you go. (walks out) Sheik: (opens the note, then closes it and throws it away) 1…2…3…punch. All: (punch) Sheik: Alright. Next, we would have gone onto the kick, but Snake feels it necessary that I teach you the mother of all punches…the FALCON PUNCH. Pikachu: Pika—chu! (punches, electrical surge following) Sheik: Huh. He actually got it. Pikachu, you’re dismissed for the day. Pikachu: Pika pika! (leaves) Sheik: So what you do, warriors in training— Fox: More like robot, two monkeys— Diddy: Chimpanzee. Fox: --a pink marshmallow, a manly princess, a stupid princess, a janitor— Luigi: I—a hate you. Fox: --an angel— Sheik: You forgot the most senseless person here—a talking, gun-wielding fox. Fox: Would you like to repeat for my five-mile range hearing? Sheik: That’s it. (charges up her punch with blue fire and sends it into Fox’s face, knocking him into the wall) All: … Sheik: …and that, folks, is how you do a FALCON PUNCH. Class dismissed. The Next Day… Zelda: Welcome back, warriors in training. (transforms in front of their very eyes) Sheik: Ah, that’s better. Anyway, today we will— R.O.B.: Wait a beeping second. Why are we bleep doing two beep lessons in one beeping chapter? Ex: …good point. See you next time on EXTRA! EXTRA! Chapter 4 coming soon...and it's really important. ~LTT~

@MT: 1. Please, I'm not unpredictable like you. I mean, we all knew that if there would be a sequel, Tahu and Helryx had to be in it... 2. Nope, not a trap. In fact, he doesn't even know about the OE II, so... 3. Well, read this: From the TAoT topic, page 1, from you. What, you don't want him back now? All right then. I'll find some way to kill him off for good. 4. Indeed they have. Expect to see a new Legend of Axonn soon as well. ~LTT~

Oh no, it does carry old games, just very little of them. Trust me, if I do find it in a GameStop, I'm not giving up that chance . Of course, I'd still get WWHD, just to get a taste of what the next Zelda will be. And I'll probably end up getting OoT 3D, although my cousin does have the LoZ Collector's Edition on GCN, I doubt he'll let me have it (he doesn't even like Zelda!). I've never played OoT on the N64 (5 min. trial on SSBB, and I loved it) so I really want this. Haven't played MM either, do you think that'll come out for the Wii U or 3DS? ~LTT~

But that's what makes it better than A2. I already see humor creeping through, and I'm sure it will utterly consume me by the next chapter. And it's not like you didn't kill off characters in TvT either, ibrow. I am 95% positive that there is something within this hidden passageway. Their Zamor Launchers will be 5% useful on this adventure. I highly reccomend shutting this Fi voice off before it gets too annoying...OVERLOAD. If Fi ever enters the world of TBTTRAM... That was weird. In conclusion, good start and I can't wait to see more! ~LTT~

1. Hah? 2. Yeah, not commonplace at all . 3. Yeah, you'll see a few more. Actually, they're really just boring speeches where everyone upstages Tahu. It irks him quite a lot. Chapter 4 is here (and I didn't notice I hadn't posted it until now. Huh.) Before the Madness: Arrivals Chapter 4: The Search Party The next day, the Metru have set out on their mission… Winter 2004 (Part 2) “No, Matau, I am not jumping off the ledge like you,” Nuju Metru said. “Why not? We have a full bottle of SUPER GLUE on our wagon. Nothing could possibly go wrong.” “That’s what I said before I took an arrow to the knee,” Lhikan chimed in. “But then I put some of that glue on it, and it was good as new.” “You see? Even Lhikan agrees with me.” “It was a joke,” Lhikan said darkly. “Okay. Moving on now.” Matau slowly distanced himself away from Nuju without a word, and continued to walk. “And I still don’t know whose side to take,” Nokama Metru muttered. In the Basement… “I wonder why they haven’t searched here yet,” Makuta muttered. “I guess they’re just lazy.” “They are. If I were leader, I would’ve put a stop to that. But unfortunately…that didn’t help…because I got captured anyway.” “Please stop moaning,” Kopaka Nuva muttered. “You think it’ll get us—“ “Kopaka Nuva has a point. Moaning, groaning, et cetera won’t get you out of my forces. The only hope you guys have of getting out is if a Toa wave finally arrived…” In the Downstairs Hallway… “Where is the owner of this House anyway?” Onewa Metru queried. “He’s on a business trip,” Whenua Metru answered. “He won’t be back until…August?” “So how does he—wait, how do you—“ “I know everything. Just because I live in a cave doesn’t mean that I don’t hear things from the upper world, you know?” “No. You’re supposed to be stupid.” “Well, I guess I’m an exception to that, then.” In the Basement… “Huh. I actually hear footsteps upstairs,” Makuta muttered. “No matter. Rahkshi, kill.” The lead Turahk hissed, before gathering his other nineteen and marching up the stairs. The other Rahkshi followed suit, and Makuta grinned. “You Toa aren’t going anywhere.” “I suppose,” Tahu Nuva mused. “Well then, I might as well fight you here.” In a surprising, brave move, the weaponless Toa tackled Makuta to the ground, grabbed his swords, and thrust them into Makuta’s back. “ARGH! How could you—“ “We’re tired of being locked up,” Turaga Whenua said, being untied from the pole he was tied to, and freed. “The old Turaga is right. It’s time we proved to you, to Tahu Mata, to everyone—that we Nuva are the most powerful here. And nothing…you included…will get in my way.” Near the Basement Door… “Do NOT enter,” Vakama read. “Well, I guess we could take a peek—“ The door flew open, knocking Vakama into the great room. One hundred and twenty Rahkshi exactly stormed through the doorway, hissing and brandishing their staffs. “Well, this sucks,” Lhikan muttered, unsheathing his swords and charging his Kikanalo forward into the horde. On the Second Floor Foyer… “What’s that?” Lewa Mata questioned, overhearing the battle below. “Well, the only three places I haven’t checked are the Slizers Territory, the Guy’s Quarters and the Basement,” Tahu Mata reported. “But as luck would have it, they’re probably in or near the basement.” “Well, should we—“ But Tahu Mata had already started walking down the stairs. He stopped suddenly and turned to Lewa Mata. “Get everyone. There’s a hundred and twenty Rahkshi down there, and the Metru will die without our help.” “But what about leading the House?” Lewa Mata asked. “They’re—the Nuva—just as much as a set as we are. What if I was captured? What would you do?” “Heck, I’d party—but then, it’d get really boring, so then I’d save you.” “Close enough to the answer I was looking for,” Tahu Mata muttered, continuing down the steps. To Be Continued… New Characters: Lhikan Makuta Onewa Metru Whenua Metru To make up for lost time, Chapter 5 coming tomorrow! ~LTT~

I don't have Hyrule Historia yet, but I plan to get it one day or another. I'm not sure if I like the nonlinear idea, actually. Perhaps it's because I only got into Zelda in Fall 2012. I do think TP was way too linear, whereas SS was a little more open with the Song of the Hero quest. I wish they'd done the hunt for the Sacred Flames this way as well, which makes me wonder if I really would like a nonlinear game. I'm kinda bummed that I can't find WW even in Gamestop, and on Amazon it's over $100. I do want WW HD, although not so I can play the DS games (I haven't seen these around either). I also want OoT 3D, should I get this or not? ~LTT~
