Lord Nektann

This quite funny, I'm enjoying this

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaano. While a lot of us might like it back. this is not the goal. the goal here is to discuss a toyline that was (and still is) a part of our lives. And personally, I think that, for the time being, I'ts best to stay the way it currently is. I cannot imagine where you got that idea. He's new. Maybe hasn't looked around as much as you have. I'm well aware of that. But nowhere does it say that that is our mission. And, from what I've seen only a few members partitioning for that nowadays. So I can't see where that idea came from. It's not 'our mission' so much as that most people here would love it to come back. There are some who want it to end and were glad it ended, but they're the minority. Most would like it to return. Another thought for Bionicle's return would be a post-apocolyptic Spherus Magna where a group of maybe a mix of Glatorian/Toa etc is on a quest to find the Ignika and revive Mata Nui and save them from the tyrannical rule of a new race.

It is a little cliche, but Matoro's death is truly the saddest moment. It was such a powerful comic, and took what was just one of six Toa and elevated him to great status.

I think there are a couple options for Lego here. 1. Continue with present story, having maybe Velika as the main antagonist, replacing Teridax. Spherus Magna is so huge, you can come up with anything. You can make a new species, new armies, new things. It's a WHOLE planet and there are tons of locations you can explore with new characters. 2. Do something on Spherus Magna, but with new characters and continue with classic ones through serials. It can be set on Spherus Magna, but with entirely new people elsewhere on the planet. Possibly this could be Bota Magna Agori, with maybe Lewa being a returning classic character. 3. Go to Core War era. They could do a thing in the past with the Great Beings, Glatorian, and lots of plot devices in the past. There's a lot of ground to cover in the past and could be very intriguing. 4. Explore the universe. Mata Nui visited countless inhabited planets. You could visit one and establish it as in the Bionicle universe, and use serials to keep up with classic characters. An interesting thought is a group of people who have developed a spiritual belief based on Mata Nui from when he visited them. 5. Alternate universe. Keep with the prime ones through serials, but essentially reboot the Bionicle story. You could have the point of divergence be when GBs designed interior islands, and designed a much different internal society in Mata Nui to keep the locations fresh. This would be an interesting new look at the Bionicle story. Those are what I think Bionicle's options are.

I liked the 2008 Toa Nuva, and I think for the most part they did a good job representing the Mata characters better than the 2002 sets did. There, I said it.

I think while Whenua's line is bad, but let's look at a better one, "because that's what Toa do." Other than Whenua's childish weird line, this line was almost triumphant and was delivered much better by Vakama. All it takes is a word and delivery.

I still like Bionicle. It was a really well done, ingenious, and creative story. It started with mystical robots on a tropical island to a 100,000 year old quest to save a planet with giant robots. That's really amazing, and Bionicle was incredible through its run. Sure there was the occasional misstep, but we're all still here aren't we? From when I joined in the MoL saga, Bionicle has kept my interest for a decade soon. That's quite an impressive hold a franchise has had. I think Lego would benefit most from Bionicle by almost doing graphic novels and books and serials without any sets. Without being tied to sets, Bionicle could flourish. Imagine the story team thinking with no restrictions. Bionicle's downfall was it got too big for the sets, but that's exactly why got more involved with it. Some will argue differently, but I think, one day, Bionicle will come back. In what form I don't know, but I can tell you one thing. We'll still be here.

That seems reasonable. So, maybe he was just so used to conventional conquering, as he was skilled at it, that while he was free he spent all his time working hard on it, experimenting, manipulating, etc. -- and when he was protocaged, he was forced to stop being actively engaged in that process, and that opened up a unique time for him to think beyond conventional armies and powers and conquering. Alright, I can see that.The sticking point is we don't know exactly what Mutran learned from Tren Krom. Here's what the Mutran Chronicles says: "For I understood now... I knew how the universe worked, and as much as my mind could stand, why the universe worked. And I knew one thing more that Makuta Teridaxs mad dreams of overthrowing the Great Spirit Mata Nui were not just fantasies. It was possible. It could work. The knowledge I held was the ammunition for the weapon Teridax would one day wield, a weapon that would win us a universe." Now, this would indicate that they knew Mata Nui was a robot. But they may not have known that Mata Nui was a spirit IN a robot. The difference is, if the robot wasn't run by a spirit, then you can't take control over it and replace it with your own. Now, also important is this: the Makuta's evolution to Antidermis was AFTER Teridax revealed the Plan. By that point, Teridax already had the Metru Nui plan formulating. Now he still may not have known that Mata Nui would die or that he now was a spirit like Mata Nui. He might have realized this, and found the Core Processor, as Dume. Then he could have realized that he could BE the universe, and noticed Mata Nui start to die, and anticipate that Toa would come after the Ignika. Now during the 999 years he spent on Mata Nui, he could've left as Antidermis and maybe visited areas need for the Plan. No one would really know as the Rahi were preoccupying them. A further wrinkle was Zaktan discovering the Plan 250 Years before the Mata written in a fortress that was the Brotherhoods. Even if Teridax didn't write it personally, he must have told the other Makuta around 500 years ago. Now, he could easily have mentally told Antroz who was basically in charge while he was toying with Matoran. So Teridax couldn't have had the finalized Plan at the start, but around LoMN and the Dark Time he came up with it. Which we can take as explanation the "Absolute Power" corrupted the Makuta(At least Mr Terry) because in the Melding White Teridax didn't get a chance to take over the Universe.Interesting take. But wouldn't that rob his statement of its meaning? He would not actually be stronger for having resisted the same temptation. He'd merely be the same, but lucky in that he didn't have to face that temptation. The fact that he does see himself as stronger seems to counter that argument. Also, even in the Melding, he probably could have come up with some kind of scheme to conquer the known world if he'd fallen to that temptation. And IMO Teridax Core went evil long before the idea of the takeover had occured to him (after the Barraki), so he fell to temptation before he realized he would have such a chance (or so I think).An interesting thought is that (to my understanding) Teridax's destiny was to take over the Mata Nui robot while Mata Nui got in robot two (which was never made) and then reform Spherus Magna, which he fulfilled on both accounts. Now we don't know what destiny does to personality. It's possible a side-effect left Teridax naturally ambitious. Now as the Barraki tried to take Metru Nui and failed, Teridax could have gotten taken over by ambition. (An interesting note is Teridax's original Metru Nui plan, conquer the city, was basically a really more developed of the Barraki's) So possibly Teridax could have been programmed to be ambitious.EDIT: Last second thought, Teridax could have planned to use the Vahi to speed up Mata Nui's death. Then exploit the destiny of some Toa to then save him. All along the Vahi would have served to eliminate the millennia of toying with Matoran. This would match him saying: "Now it will take a lifetime to achieve what destiny demands!" Quite possibly, the takeover could have been then and there.

Foggy mem, but I presume you're talking about her final "muahahahaha--*fail*" speech. She'd been outed as evil, and the murderer of several Matoran, just prior to that speech. So we wouldn't expect her statements from then on to come from good motives that would be shared by the people of Metru Nui. She is their enemy, and as far as they know, the Brotherhood is their ally, therefore it's perfectly natural that she'd also be the Brotherhood's enemy.And if she wants to go evil, knowing there are such superpowerful good guys helping protect the people, naturally she would be focused on them and not make a move until she found a way to become powerful enough to overthrow or at least defend herself against even them. In Dark Mirror, the alt universe where Tuyet wins, she persecutes the Makuta. The Makuta are hiding in the Archives. So, you're right, she treated the BoM just like other villains and non-compliant Toa. l was using it just for fun, but generally I think the Barraki got so big they didn't think they needed Mata Nui. Obviously Mata Nui isn't doing anything, so they might have been trying to take him out. This was by taking Metru Nui, as in BL 6, the Barraki are reviewing plans to take Metru Nui. Same as Teridax, they thought that Metru Nui was really 'the universe'. We haven't seen Miserix do anything necessarily evil or against the general 'good' inn story. Krika references in BL 11 that the BoM meant something when Miserix led it, so I can see him at first as maybe a good ruler. Now he's just out for revenge, and hasn't really done anything bad It seems a little hard to believe that if Teridax's plan in 2004 succeeded, the Inika would've saved Mata Nui. BS01's Mata Nui's Reawakening Page (which right now is really just Teridax's Plan) states: "Teridax realized he could widen the scope of his ambition to taking control of the entire universe, by replacing Mata Nui's spirit." In Makuta's Guide it reads: "I sought only to disable Mata Nui and show the Matoran who they should truly be worshipping." This is quite telling as it shows that Teridax never thought of actually slipping into Mata Nui's body. In fact, we don't know for sure when he actually realized that Mata Nui was a gigantic robot. It could very well have been while making his way up to the island Mata Nui where he realized Mata Nui was a robot. (Even during the Dark Time he could have, as he realized that Mata Nui was dying. Or even the year he gave Vakama in Time Trap) But yes, the Makuta's Guide states his 'small' ambitions at first involved only felling Mata Nui.

My understanding is the Mahri Nui Matoran form is pretty close to their form before Karzahni 'fixed' them. The mutagen mutated them and reversed Karzahni's tampering. And Mahri Nui follows the general pattern of Metru Nui form anyway. So I'd say that Metru Nui/Mahri Nui is basically the template with regional differences.

That is a good question though. Clearly they weren't unpopular enough for the good guys to see them as bad, but we know that the Archives Massacre left them feared and distrusted in Metru Nui. Spiriah and the Raid of Arthaka mosk likely made it whorse. Referring to BS01's MU History Timeline, Spiriah's incident was after Teridax took over. (Which makes sense, as he imprisoned Miserix afterwords so was still in the BoM). Kojol's Artakha raid was much much later and likely wasn't well know due to the isolation of the island.

So in the Kingdom, that alt universe diverged in late 2007. All stuff before that happened exactly as it did in the main universe. Now, Velika's mind is in a Po-Matoran form, he's not a shapeshifting GB. Interestingly, it's not confirmed if Velika has a real Matoran personality the GB's suppressing, or Velika was made just for the GB, and thus has no personality. Either way, Velika in the main universe does have latent Toa Power and can become a Toa. This is likely by design on the GB's part to see if he'll end up a Toa. All the Kingdom Toa, in the main universe all have latent Toa power. Kapura, Balta, Dalu, Defilak, Velika, and Tanma all have the Toa potential there in the main universe. So we could (if story happens ever) see those six becoming Toa.

So basically here's how this whole thing went down with the Makuta. 1. Mata Nui makes League of Six Kingdoms run by the six Barraki to conquer everybody. They end up getting corrupt. It's never stated why, but absolute power corrupts...absolutely 2. Teridax defeats the Barraki as they try and overthrow Mata Nui, but as BL 6 says, he starts getting thoughts that he could pull it off. Because he's power-hungry, but due to his personality he makes grandiose schemes. He starts to do more evil stuff like Archives Massacre, annoyed that everybody worships Mata Nui for doing nothing, and not the Makuta for guarding and populating the universe with Rahi 3. Mutran visits Tren Krom and they link minds, Mutran learning the secrets of the universe. Mutran tells Teridax about this, Teridax realizing he can take down Mata Nui 4. Teridax tells Miserix who is a good guy, causing Teridax to beat him and kill any 'good' Makuta 5. The Plan part 1: Take Metru Nui. At first, Teridax is concerned only with Metru Nui. He infects Mata Nui, impersonates Dume. The plan is to put the Matoran in spheres, use the Vahi to speed up time, release Matoran. Matoran will think Teridax saved them, bow down to him. The rest of the universe will follow 6. Toa Metru interfere, and Teridax comes up with the plot to take over the robot and BE the universe. The rest is history. So pretty much Makuta were jealous of Mata Nui and were ambitious, and got the idea from the Barraki.

My question for Greg would to be try and get a definitive yes or no on the status of the ATYU 2 stories. The ATYU 2 stories Generally it would be nice to get a firm yes from Greg that we haven't had.

You don't ask to guest star. Generally if you're a well known and trusted community member of BS01 you are asked. I'm not entirely sure as I've never been a guest star. But I assume if you are trusted and a big part of Wiki life you will get an invite.

Chapter 4 I moved around cautiously, knowing Lewa outmatched me. I ran it over in my head. He can create a tornado, I can't do anything. Him 1 Me 0. He can levitate and fly, I can only blind him Him 2 Me 0. He's a Toa Nuva and I can slide out of chains. Him 3 Me 0. He has a giant sword. I have a Glatorian knife. Him 4 Me 0. This isn't looking too hot. "Look Lewa," I said. "I had to follow Makuta. Skakdi do what's in their best interest. And my best interest right now, is to just let you do your thing." "Makuta is deep-bad," Lewa said. "A friend of Makuta is no friend of mine." "Look," I said, formulating a lie. "You don't need to hurt me!" "Sorry Nektann," said the To a Nuva of Air. "But I have to do this." Have you ever been in a tornado. If the answer is no, I hope you don't wish for it any time soon. Lewa's tornado whipped me around in the air, and blew me far away from the scene. Ironically I landed in the river at the base of the giant waterfall, spray pelting my face. So much water, and none of it to control. I looked around, seeing the busted up remains of my vehicle I had stolen. Through the trees the Twin Suns were setting. I hate this planet. *** Gabrehi pulled herself up and was staring at a semi-transparent visor showing a robot face. Naturally she screamed and punched the guy in his mask. And she ran away screaming into the darkness until she could run no more. *** Sometimes when I feel down I execute a few captives. Really gets me in the mood. But right now...I looked up. And I saw it. There in the sky was a star unlike any other. It was red, and glowing with bright ferocity. I simply stared at the star, unwilling and in disbelief. The grass underneath me was wet, but I stood transfixed looking at the star. Back when I was in the war on Zakaz, there was a leader on theother side named Julum. Julum was a Skakdi of Air and led the biggest resistance force on my castle I had ever seen. But I had a secret. Little robotic warriors known as Nektann. And trust me, they could pack a punch. But even with those, Julum had challenged me, me to a one-on-one duel. When he came to talk to be, he told me about something called the Red Star. He said he was sailing on the Silver Sea, when a massive serpent arose out of the water. This was before our mutations by Spiriah, and Julum told me he didn't fear me---didn't fear death. See, he said he thinks he was resurrected that night by the Red Star and came back to life. And if I killed him...he would only come back. Needless to say he ended the day snapped in half. And I never saw Julum again. But here was the mysterious star. "Beautiful isn't it," I heard from behind me. I jumped and saw, naturally, ANOTHER Toa of Air. "Lesovikk," he said. "Have you perhaps seen a man named Karzahni recently?"

Chapter 3 Tobduk walked into the conference room of the most powerful beings in the universe. They were the Order of Mata Nui, and today they were face to face with the Great Spirit himself. Or as close as his mask got to being him anyway. Sitting on a rotating pedestal in the center of the room was the most dangerous piece of technology in the universe. The Ignika, the Mask of Life. It not only had the power to give life and obliterate it, but it also housed the spirit of Mata Nui. If the mask fell into the wrong hands, it would be very dangerous. Tobduk sat at the head of table. "I call Spherus Magna Council Number 1 into session, presided over by Tobduk," he spoke. "May we begin. I assume you all know that we have lost contact with Helryx, Axonn, Brutaka, Hydraxon, and many others. Unfortunately their status is still unknown." "If I might," said a member. "How do we plan to deal with Tahu and Ackar? They seem to be looking toward running this planet." "That cannot be an option," Tobduk said. "They can be the public faces of the government, but we will truly decide how this planet will function. Onua has already dispatched a team to search for the Great Beings." "Is that wise?" "It is the will of Mata Nui," Tobduk responded. "It is not to be questioned." "May I ask about an incident at the containment facility?" Another member asked. "Nektann escaped, and took a Glatorian with him." "Trust me," Tobduk said. "Don't worry. The Order has it all under control. Mata Nui's will be done, Spherus Magna will be ours." *** The reptile had to be four times the biggest Rahi I had ever seen. It snarled and looked directly at us, drool dripping from its mouth. Times like these I wished I was actually a Toa. I looked at Gabrehi, and began to coordinate in my mind what it would take to destroy it. If only I could shoot water jets without another Skakdi. Then I realized the one chance we had. I ran past Gabrehi to the mangled wreckage and began pulling it from the water. "You're crazy!" she yelled. "A maniac! Now we're dead, dead, dead DEAD!" "Oh no," I said. "Ever heard of the Tahtorak?" "No," she said. "Child's play compared to this," I lied. She's quite annoying. I'll need to kill her eventually. I managed to pull out the motorcycle she was using from the completely trashed tan vehicle. I pressed controls and it started. Gabrehi ran over to me, then the reptile began to run over, moving down with its head. "Nektann!" she yelled. My feet hit a control and I began to spin crazily forward. The reptile's head hit right where I just was standing. I pressed harder, and the cycle moved faster. Primitive. Then I crashed right into Gabrehi and she flipped up and grabbed on the back edge. It appears even nature won't let me shake her. I drove under the belly of the beast into the jungle. I could feel the bike splintering underneath me. Shoddy construction. Where's the Protosteel? I could here the dinosaur chasing after us. Where did that word come from? No matter. "I hate you," Gabrehi said. "Put off by my devilishly good looks?" I asked, acutely aware of impending reptilian doom. The reptile reached down and grabbed our cycle in its mouth. We rolled over so it was biting the cycle, and a massive wind began to blow. I looked down as the head began to rising, as the dinosaur prepared to turn us into a metallic salad. Then the wind grew stronger and the cycle, both us, was pulled from the jaws of the reptile. We hit the ground, and I could see the scared dinosaur running off into the distance. Groggily I looked up and saw a green-armored figure of us. "You were in some deep-trouble there," he said. "I'm a Toa-hero Lewa." *** We walked with Lewa, who seemed blissfully unaware that I had allied with Makuta. He heard some Skakdi did, but I maintained I was part of a rebel group. Conveniently, Gabrehi was still unconscious (we were both carrying her). "So let me get this straight," Lewa said. "Makuta got head-hit and died by a fragment of a moon, the moon we used to live on." "You could say," I said. "He got his fill of moonlight." Lewa laughed. "Normally I wouldn't have saved you. Skakdi are disgusting-bad creatures." He set Gabrehi on the ground. "But I think you're lying. You did ally with Makuta." He pulled out his air sword. "That's deep-bad." I heard the howl of wind. "I'm sorry, but you're going to have to leave now."

Chapter 2 It all happened in very slow motion. I leaped from the pilot seat of the vehicle and jumped up in the air and saw the Glatorian's bike had gotten stuck in the back of my vehicle. She was petrified with fear. Something inside me wasn't feeling heartless today, so I grabbed her shoulder and pulled her up in the air. I grabbed her and leaned back on the cycle/vehicle combo so the tip of my vehicle was pointed town. The mist was in my face, and I was quite put off by the body heat and 'fleshiness' of the Glatorian. So it was true they were completely organic. They're disgustingly weak. I thought. We were seconds from impact when I whispered to her. "I'd close my eyes if I were you." *** My eyes shot open and I was looking up at the massive waterfall unlike anything I had ever seen before. My entire body completely and utterly ached. Bluntly I realized that I was on top of the completely wrecked Glatorian's bike. I pulled myself up and rubbed my face. "Haven't felt this put out such Krika hammered me out in that little incident on Stelt," I muttered. I looked around, and didn't find Gabrehi anywhere at all. Not a big loss. I thought. I looked around at the plants, all so very very different than anything I had seen before. The trees were real in the universe I was from, but these were truly ALIVE. I hope they don't start throwing apples. I thought. "Great," I heard a voice mutter. "Now we're stuck in a jungle." I turned and saw Gabrehi sitting on the banks of the rivers with her helmet in her hands. Her long dark hair covered her pale reddish skin. I stood up. "I didn't decide to force a guy off a waterfall," I said, walking over. Play nice with the natives. I didn't fight any, so maybe they can forget me. She looked up at me, her hair wet and still covering her face. "You stole my boyfriend's vehicle!" she said, annoyed. "I'm sure you would have done for the same for your girlfriend." I could only laugh. "You natives are so concerned with petty things. I'm more concerned something else than relationships." Gabrehi stood up, shaking her head, her eyes penetrating right into mine. "Well? What is it?" "Nothing short of world domination," I said. "By doing whatever I deem is necessary." Sighing indignantly, Gabrehi threw up her arms and began to walk away. "Nektann, do you have a heart at all? Do you care about anybody but yourself?" "Of course," I said. "Allies have to be made, a careful network of contacts, it's a necessary strategy. It's why my head isn't in stasis in some Dark Hunter base. And hey, you aren't a flattened paste stuck on a vehicle." Gabrehi sat down a rock and began to cry into her hands. I stood over and began to walk away. "Goodbye Gabrehi. I have a world to conquer." She began to yell at me as I strolled away. "You people, you aren't even alive! You are calculating mechanical robots! ROBOTS! Get off my planet you technological terror!" I stopped for a second and turned around at here. "I have seen things you can't possibly fathom," I said. "I have faced beings with 50 more powers than I and won! I have commanded ships in sliver seas! I have assaulted the fortress of the Makuta! I have seen beings from other dimensions! I have led armies of Rahkshi, Skakdi, and more! I have looked death in the space and spat at it! You have lived in your little society, fighting each other over groves of plants! You are nothing Glatorian, NOTHING!" "Then why can I do this!" she yelled, pulling a knife from a compartment in her armor and diving for me. Now I admit, I was impressed. This was as impressive of an attack as Tahu gave to me (remind me that I need to kill him once I run this place), but sadly this Glatorian was no Tahu. I grabbed her and threw her to the ground, and stepped on the knife. I shrugged and put it on my combat belt. "So much ignorance," I said. "Who's the most powerful on this little planet?" "Ackar..." she muttered. "He can control fire." I burst into laughter. "Fire? Just fire? The Makuta had fifty powers, enough to make you instantly become a black hole, the Mask of Life can end all life in the universe on a whim! Artakha can create anything, with only an idea, and the Vahi could freeze time. You are nothing. Just a cute little tribe to use as slaves." Suddenly a roar sounded throughout the valley and Gabrehi sprang to her feet, and ran to put her maroon helmet back on. "And what is that?" I said, arms crossed. "Do you want to know?" she said, scared to death. "Look behind you." I turned and my jaw hung slack. For there was a giant reptilian dinosaur with laser targeting, bellowing right over us.

Chapter 1 A light flipped on and I blinked and looked around. The room was still dark, except for a tiny bulb high above me. Looking down I saw my feet were cuffed to a chair, and my wrists were bent back behind me. I cricked my neck and sighed, I had woken up only a few minutes ago. The Bara Magna invasion hadn't gone completely as planned. "Hello Nektann," said a deep voice. "Long time no see?" I recognized the voice immediately and straightened up, quietly looking for ways out of the room. All the walls were solid rock, likely put up by a Toa of Stone. Maybe Pohatu. "Oh yes," I said to stall. "Tobduk. Haven't seen you since that little business on Nynrah." "Seems your loyalties have shifted," Tobduk said. Continuing to look around, I looked back ahead of me at the wall I assumed Tobduk was behind. "I follow my own loyalties," I said. "Or those of somebody with greater power than I. I assume we lost? I'm curious to exactly how Mata Nui pulled out the victory." Tobduk laughed. "The Makuta is dead! The universe, the robot, is destroyed. We're here on Spherus Magna now." I pretended not to be shocked at the revelation. "Is that anything like Bara Magna?" "New and improved," Tobduk said. "We're starting a jail here, and we figured you should be its first occupant. This is an interrogation Nektann." "Tobduk," I said. "Are you a member of that Order of Mata Nui?" "Yes," he said. "And we're going to be running the government here. I apologize, but Tahu cannot be in charge. He's good enough to beat you at any rate." "A minor tactical error," I said. "So tell me," Tobduk said. "What did he promise you?" "Nothing short of Bara Magna," I said. "And I intend to keep to that promise." Tobduk laughed. "As far as we know, there isn't even another Makuta to give it to you!" That was the last straw. I activated my third power and slipped out of my cuffs. My third power allowed slime to secret on my body, to escape being captured. I hadn't used it in 10,000 years. Quickly I moved at the stone and began punching at it. All the while Tobduk just laughed. "Little Skakdi, with nowhere to go," he said. "This is solid stone." "Then how are you talking to me?" I asked, turning and lunging at the sound of his voice. I feel right through the illusion and on top of Tobduk. I Flash Visioned his eyes, and he screamed in annoyance. I hopped to me feet and ran through twisting corridors and mazes that were all covered in darkness. I was Nektann, feared Skakdi warlord, and I had never been so afraid. *** Gahbrei was standing next to her boyfriend's Thornatus V9. For the record, he had been pretty badly beaten up by some Rahkshi thing that had a supersonic scream, and another magnetic one that crumpled his armor. Perditus was always 'accident prone' Gahbrei liked to call it. So now she was watching his vehicle as some Agori stitched him back together in the jail/hospital combo. She ran through the scenario in her mind again, trying to comprehend what just happened. "Okay," she muttered. "Ignore WHERE they came from. The analog to Agori is Matoran. They come in about 15 different flavors, similar to our tribes. They do the hard-labor. Then, if they're lucky, they'll get infused power and transform into Toa. Toa are like me, a Glatorian. Except they have masks that control powers, and they can control elemental powers. Like Ackar. And if you have a special Golden Armor suit you basically have tons of powers and your name is Tahu. Then once you've been a Toa for a while you turn into a Turaga, little old wise men that are back to Matoran size. And that's just one species." There was a crash from inside the building, but Gahbrei didn't here it. "Okay, so now the WHERE. They were in a universe INSIDE a giant robot that went around named Mata Nui. It was supposed to heal the planet. But Mata Nui was kind of ineffective, so he got taken over by Makuta, a bad guy, and was sent here in a mask. Then Mata Nui made a body, saved us from Skrall, and got in the old robot that was our homes to fight Makuta who was here in Mata Nui's OLD body. They had a big fight where Mata Nui pulled the moons BACK which reformed the planet. And a piece of one of the moons conked Makuta on the head, killing him, and the Matoran went out of the universe into our planet. Mata Nui then used the mask to re-prettifiy everything, then his robot disintegrated, and he went BACK in the mask and fell asleep." Gahbrei sighed. "This is ridiculous, just ridiculous." Then, bursting from the door was a blue armored man, wearing a scowl on his face. Or a smile. "And that is a Skakdi," Gahbrei muttered. "Vicious, evil..." It then occurred to her that maybe the Toa hadn't exactly planned for him to escape. And he was bearing down right on her. "Stop right there!" Gahbrei yelled. "I'm a Glatorian, and I'm not a pushover!" Suddenly she couldn't see and crumbled to the ground. Hey Mata Nui, could you get the rest of us elemental powers? I'd really like to flash fry this guy just about now. *** I leaped over the red Glatorian female and jumped in the tan vehicle she was guarding. The controls were similar to must normal vehicles, and he began to speed away from the facility. I bet I can band together a little group, stake out a territory. A whole planet is a whole different ballgame after all. Suddenly there was a mini explosion on the vehicle's big wheel. I turned to see a blue vehicle gaining on me, a sleeker motorcycle with the Glatorian in it. Even more astounding, I wasn't driving over sand, but a picturesque meadow. Okay, time to take out this joker. A Fire female? What a laugh. Spinning the vehicle, I tugged on controls to try and fire the big silver guns. Concussive force fired, but only hit the bike, causing it to spin. Frantically I turned and kept driving, and saw a jungle beginning to materialize in the distance. The bike was almost behind me now. "Who are you!" the girl yelled. "Nektann," I said. "Ruggedly handsome Skakdi warlord." We were in the jungle now, moving through trees with a roaring river to our left. "Gabrehi!" she yelled. "A Glatorian. You stole my boyfriend's bike!" Boyfriend? I thought. "Too bad," I muttered. "Three!" she started to yell, her bike now hitting my wheel. "Two!" Suddenly I began to hear a roaring. "ONE!" She fired again, and I shot forward, moving, moving, until I tumbled right off a giant waterfall.

This is where you can review the epic 'Two Ticks' written by me, Lord Nektann. Discuss ideas for future of plot, criticism, praise, etc. Thanks for reading! http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=8053: Two Ticks Characters Marendar- An extremely powerful robot designed by the Great Beings to hunt and kill Toa Nektann- The Skakdi warlord, a cunning liar who hates Toa and is only out for himself Tobduk- In the absence of others, the de facto head of the Order of Mata Nui, attempting to control Spherus Magna Gabrehi- A strong-willed female Glatorian from the Fire Tribe who doesn't think everything through

Prologue Toa located. Activation protocols initiating. These were the first command lines spoken in the massive robotic behemoth since its creation. Slowly the hum of processors activating after 100,000 years of dormancy began to speed to life. Activation initiated. Opticial drives coming up. The eyes opened, and they stared blankly at darkness. A thick cloud of dust hung in the air. The vault hadn't been opened for as long as the robot had been dormant. Power levels to auxiliary functions are at 25%. Reviewing Toa signatures. Scanning. Scanning. The humming got louder and louder and louder. Tahu, Toa of Fire. High power energies detected. Spiking. Rapid spiking of power energy. Threat level: MAXIMUM. Takanuva, Toa of Light. Light refractors wearing off. Prognosis: not to be underestimated. Threat level: HIGH. Auxiliary power at 95% Full force required to break Exidisian vault. Charging Green light flooded the chamber as a weapon charged. It fired a blast of excessive concussive energy and the metal door shattered. A gray dim hallway lay up ahead and the robot began to walk through it. Its feet crunched on the marble. New contacts. Gali, Toa Nuva of Water. Pohatu, Toa Nuva of Stone. Onua, Toa Nuva of Earth. Toa Nuva. High power manifestations. Threat level: VERY HIGH. Distance, several hundred thousand kilometers away. Prognoisis, months before position reached. The robot smashed through the wall at end of the hallway and brilliant white light flooded its optical sensors. When they recovered, it saw a dense jungle. OPTICAL SENSORS POWER RESTORED. Location: BOTA MAGNA. Contact! Toa! Lewa, Toa Nuva of Air. Threat level: VERY HIGH. Distance, a thousand kilometers. Readjusting target vectors...speeding up mainframe...Lewa Nuva targeted. Engage with caution. SECONDARY PRIORITY: Tahu. Main power at 99% The robot then disappeared, activating its cloaking mechanisms. 100% POWER. UNIT 7, MARENDAR, OPERATIONAL.

Granted, Right before he dies of old ageI wish for a vacation to Europe

I need to play that game again. Was actually good fun.

I've always liked to imagine the GBs as human. I think their society would be a lot like ours, but on a much smaller scale

1. Legends of Metru Nui. Wasn't too corny, and was very well done in my opinion. The final sequence with Makuta was excellent. 2. The Shadow Hand from Legends of Metru Nui. Was a great plot device and really added to Makuta. 3. Legends of Metru Nui 4. I have liked the films less as they've seen cornier to me. 5. The finale of Legends of Metru Nui 6. My favorite character from Mask of Light was Jaller due to his steadfast determination. From Legends of Metru Nui it was Makuta. Dat plot twist. From Web of Shadows I'd say Roodaka. Cunning seductive character. And Metus from The Legend Reborn. Excellent plot twisr. 7. I liked a lot. I can't really say much else. 8. Well...I'd change Mask of Light to have more depth and fear factor, beefing up Makuta as being scary. For Legends of Metru Nui I'd add in some comic material. With Web of Shadows I'd change it from the final battle being 25% of the movie. And Legend Reborn, I'd heavily expand Tuma and Skrall motivation. 9. A few random lines 10. Web of Shadows was by far the darkest. Toa get mutated into crazy monsters, Vakama gets seduced into a maniac and the Rahaga are captured. 11. LoMN. Nuff said. 12. Makuta. If there's ever another Bionicle movie they better hire that guy. 13. LoMN 14. Web of Shadows. The plot was kind all over the place, and the final battle is way too emphasized. 15. Makuta. He's really cool. 16. Darkness. No cheesy stuff. 17. LoMN because it's great. 18. Mata Nui beastmoding Tuma. Waaay too easy and had to be explained through a convoluted backstory 19. "Time! It's Time the false Turaga wants!" 20. 2008. It would be a great film, especially with the shocking ending
