Toru Nui

Pfft. Who needs heads anyway? Oh wait, you do. And this is your head. My mask and head.

Making your text bold and italic doesn't distract from the fact that nobody knows what you're talking about. Anyway my armour simply reforms and clonks Inary on the head. My mask.

I eat you, mildly inconveniencing you long enough to take the mask. My mask.

“If you dig it now, just wait ’til the rush hits you!” Part 216: Chronic Chronicler In the ruins of Po-Koro (where they spent the night after getting out of Onu-Koro), Takua, Nuparu, Taipu and Tamaru woke up from their slumber. “Good morning, gentle-gentlemen!” “*snore* Five more minutes…” “Well, I better be off. I dread to think about how the Onu-Matoran are doing without me.” Nuparu immediately thought of a peaceful Onu-Koro, with not a single invention exploding in sight. “*shiver* You coming Taipu?” “Absolutely not. I’d rather stay here.” “But this is a desolate ruin!” “It’s certainly better than living underground twenty-four seven!” “Good point.” “Did I ever mention to you that when I pass the Chronicler’s Exam, I’m going to write down EVERY single stupid thing you people say? Because I probably should have.” “That would take a VERY long time.” “Oh you have no idea.” HE THINKS IT IS BAD I HAVE TO WRITE EVERYTHING THEY SAY

I put you through a GIANT paper shredder. Red gunk comes out the other side.

Why use a sledgehammer when you can use an entire planet? Which I use to smash you. My mask.

Part 215: Home is Where the Heart is “Welp, here we are. Ga-Wahi.” “What a dump.” “Says the guy who lives in an icy wasteland.” “Says the guy who lives in a sandy wasteland.” “Says the guy who lives in a volcanic wasteland.” “Says the guy who lives underneath a wasteland.” “HA! I’m the only one who lives in a nice environment!” “What about the malaria?” “SCREW YOU!” “IMBECILES. MY LAIR IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO LIVE. Says you! Where’s the cursed light! THERE ARE NO LIGHTS. …The Karzahni?!” Meanwhile… “Welcome, to DAXIA!” “You just said that!” “I wanted to say it again! Isn’t it lovely?” “Why am I even here? I’m pretty sure I was on Mata-Nui last time I checked.” “Last time I checked you were being hurled through the stratosphere until I saved your scrawny neck.” “That’s a good point and I’m grateful for that, but three questions: why, how, and-no, that pretty much covers it.” “Because a friend of mine says I’m supposed too, and because I can teleport myself and anyone I’m touching anywhere, anytime.” “That seems… overpowered.” “Oh it is. But you’d be surprised at how inaccurate I am. I think I was supposed to pick you up just a few hundred mios up, but it ended up being more than that.” “Wait a second, what was that about your friend?” “Well, not really friend, more like person I tolerate.” “You realize I’m listening to this conversation, right?” “Shut up Krakua.” “You also realize she can’t hear me, right?” “I said shut up Krakua.” “…OK… can I go now?” “Not yet. It’s been ages since I got visitors. LITERALLY ages.” THIS IS VERY SIMPLE COUNTLESS YEARS AFTER THE END OF GEN 1 KRAKUA GOES TO LIVE IN A FORTRESS ON AN ISLAND SOMEWHERE HE ALSO HAS THE MASK OF TIME AND A MACHINE CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING IT AND SENDING OUT MESSAGES INTO THE PAST SO BASICALLY KRAKUA IS CALLING BOTH VAKAMA AND BOTAR FROM THE FUTURE NO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN CANON IT IS JUST A BETTER EXPLANATION FOR VAKAMAS VISIONS THAN THE ONE WE GOT

I throw you into the sun. My mask.

I launch chainsaws into your chest.

Part 214: Two Very Different Awakenings “Turaga, wake up! We have to go!” “I’ve prepared your speech for you, so don’t worry-“ “*groan* I wasted all my energy yesterday sending that Ga-Matoran into orbit. She could stand to lose a few pounds.” You’re one to talk, Hewkii thought. “I suppose it must have hurt when she landed. “Actually… she hasn’t landed yet.” “…What. Whahahahhhehehhehehh!” That’s not funny you sick old man, Hewkii thought again. “WHAT? I knew I was strong but-pahahahhaahhahhahahahh!!!” “You do realize Nokama will probably use this against you at the meeting?” “Oh they’ll laugh their masks off when they hear that. Just relax. I’ve got something planned.” “I hope this goes better than the last something you had planned.” “It would have worked if it wasn’t for Whenua.” “Yeah well we shouldn’t have gone through his tunnels.” “HOW ELSE WERE WE SUPPOSED TO GET TO TA-KORO?!” “Boats?” “BOATS?! AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHno. We’re Po-Matoran. We don’t do boats.” “Whatever.” Meanwhile… “*groan* Where am I? *yawn* Last thing I remember is being launched into space…” Hahli looked around to see she was on some sort of beach. Not the Golden Beach, since the sand there was golden, this beach’s sands were white. “BEHOLD!” Then this tall gold and blue being with lots of teeth popped out of nowhere. “I, am the great Botar, and I welcome you to DAXIA!” STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING AINT NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

I eat you. Because you're an anchovy. My mask.

I call the original Vezon and he sues you for copyright infringement. My mask.

Well I destroyed reality again after you restored it after I destroyed it. I drown you in wax. My mask.

Part 213: Summit of the Problem Le-Koro… “Turaga Matau! Message for you!” “*yawn* Sanso, I swear to Mata Nui, if you play me a song, I will garrotte you with the e-string of your own guitar.” “Hmph. I shall read it then, NON-musically.” “Yes. Like normal people.” “Ahem… Turaga Matau, we, the Ga-Matoran of Ga-Koro, (bit redundant) invite to a peace conference on Mount Ihu to discuss the unruliness of the Po-Matoran of Po-Koro.” “Oh no, not another one! I guess I better attend, if only for the free snacks they hand out.” Ko-Koro… “Sorry sir, do I disturb?” “Cluck.” “There’s a message from the Ga-Matoran. They want another peace conference on Mount Ihu. Because reasons.” “Chirp? Cock-a-doodle doo? Caw?” “Yes, it’s about the Po-Matoran.” “Quack. Hoot!” “Yes, I’ll arrange for the free snacks.” Onu-Koro… “Attention, everyone! We have received a message from Turaga Nokama of Ga-Koro! She wants us to attend a peace conference on the summit of Mount Ihu.” “There is no time to be lost. Let us put aside our differences and attend this peace summit.” “It’s a peace CONFERENCE.” “Is it on the summit of a mountain?” “Yes…” “Then it is a peace summit. Does anybody else object to this?” … … … … … “No? Good. Now get going.” SIX WISE ONES HAND IN HAND KEEP THE SHADOWS PLANS AS PLANNED BUT BREAK THE ALLIANCE AND PAY THE COST ALL HOPE FOR PEACE WILL BE LOST

ToaTimeLord, I destroyed the laws of physics a LONG time ago. Why do you think all this is happening? Anyway, I shove the DJ into a meat grinder. My mask.

Part 212: What Happened to the Gukkos? “You have no idea-clue where we’re going, do you?” “Of course I do! We-“ “WE’VE BEEN FLYING AROUND FOR HOURS. Look, the sun’s rising!” “I, Hafu, think this is a waste of my, Hafu’s time and I ask you to drop me, Hafu off at Po-Koro.” “You mean here?” “Yes.” Hafu leapt off the Gukko and fell into the sand. “…Well.” “Let’s never speak-talk of this again.” “Agreed. What’s the fastest way to Ta-Koro?” “Not your navigation. Follow me, everyone.” Hafu got his face out of the sand, and saw his village was in ruins. “Well this sucks. I, Hafu, want to go back to the treehouse place.” TOO LATE FOR THAT

I fax myself into your brain. My mask.

Now that ToaTimeLord's other half is gone, I'm back to normal. (I don't know why he thought it was him inverting my text) Anyway I forcefeed you MY organs. My mask.

Part 211: The Next Day “LEWA YOU LEWA!” “Yyyeeesss?” “Pick up your axe!” “No.” “Pick it up!!!” “No.” “*growl*” Kopaka lifted up Lewa and threw him at the axe. “PIIICK IIIT UUUP!!!” Lewa just used his Mask of Levitation. “Jealous?” “…No.” “…You’re jealous.” “SCREW YOU! SCREW YOU, YOU SCREWBALL!” “Can I spend just a few more minutes sleeping without you loony fatheads acting like a bunch of fatheaded loons?!” “Wake up, idiots! Big day today! Have to get our Golden Masks or everyone and everything we know will die!” “Alright, alright! No need to rub salt into the large gaping wound gnawing at our minds as to how we do it! After all, we will succeed. Otherwise this wouldn’t be very faithful to the source material.” … … … … … “Well… we need to be a LITTLE faithful.” “Nobody even knows what you’re talking about. Nobody EVER knows what you’re talking about.” “Of course you don’t. Except when you do.” “I get it! *whispering* I don’t get it.” “Look, we better get going! I assume the Matoran are also heading out for their peace conference, so we should be too! This tent is THEIRS after all.” “Speaking of which, how are the other Turaga going to find out about this?” “They’re called Carrier Kewas, you IDIOT.” “Whatever, Professor Lewa.” “JUST PICK UP YOUR AXE AND LET’S GO! To Ko-Wahi!” “NO. WE’RE GOING TO GA-WAHI FIRST. END OF DISCUSSION.” “Well we have got one of your masks already. Not counting the one you had when you arrived, that means we have four to get. Add the three we need for Pohatu, the five for Lewa, Onua, Kopaka…” “Equals a ton of work to do, so let's get moving. But there’s no WAY I’m getting in another boat.” “*sigh* Must I do everything around here?” “Oh, what are YOU going to do?” A few minutes later… “Oooh, this is what you’re going to do.” “I’m already doing it, moron! I need concentration!” Kopaka was creating a bridge of Ice for them to get across the sea, and reach Ga-Wahi. And directly below them, observing them from the deep, was a shadowy squelchy thing. “Heheehheehehhehehe…” FINALLY THE QUEST BEGINS TECHNICALLY IT ALREADY BEGAN BUT NOW IT IS REALLY BEGINNING

Part 210: More Flaws Sanity. They say the key to appearing sane is to mimic those around you. The only problem here is that everyone around him was clearly crazy, and they didn’t even know the true purpose of this world. They’d briefly, just for a moment know, just for yet another joke. EVERYTHING here was a joke. How did he know? Why was HE the one chosen to know about BZPower? About Toru, about Petewa, about Erasmus? Why? Why?! Why??? And while Pohatu slept, a squelchy thing covered in darkness emerged from his shadow. It was madness. Joy. They say life is better if you think positive. Unfortunately, it was very hard to do so, as the living talking walking oven was chosen to be leader, when HE was the strongest of all the Toa. Was there any doubt? Obviously YES. Just because HE had his Golden Mask first, due to some bizarre streak of luck. Luck was the only reason Tahu-no, all FIVE of them were still alive. And while Kopaka slept, a squelchy thing covered in darkness emerged from his shadow. It was envy. Humility. They say that the meek shall inherit the earth. Not likely, considering the person who controlled the earth was a big blowhard. They all were. Large hams, the lot of them. She felt she was the one to keep order between the nutcases that were, for some reason, her brothers. The most abundant element on this moon (or planet) was water, after air, but he was an idiot. Earth and Stone composed a little island, and Fire and Ice are small in number, and intelligence, and morals, and just about everything. She was the best Toa, and she was going to prove it. And while Gali slept, a squelchy thing covered in darkness emerged from her shadow. It was pride. And so, pride, envy and madness squelched out of the tent and into the ash, to meet their brothers… OH DEAR THIS WILL NOT END WELL

I leech away energy from you all, creating a much more powerful, non-heavy form. WELL YOU WERE ALL DOING IT Anyway I stab you in heart six times. Not four, not five. Seven... that is something else. My mask.

WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Part 209: Art Shift “WHAT?! You agreed to this!?” “I had no choice! What else was I supposed to do?” “Threaten his life?” “We can’t do that.” “Threaten his dignity?” “What dignity?! The man speaks in bird noises!” “Look, not counting today, we have two days to retrieve our masks and defeat Makuta.” “But it took us one just to find mine!” “Yes, but then we became preoccupied with this civil war nonsense. I’m sure the Turaga will come to a conclusion at their peace summit.” Meanwhile… “VAKAMA YOU TOLD ME I COULD HAVE A NIGHTLIGHT!!!” “SCREW YOU, IT’S MINE!!!” Back to our heroes (and Kopaka)… “…Or not.” “Well we better be off then.” “WITHOUT SLEEP?! Nooooooooooooooooooooo thank you.” Lewa then snuggled into his sleeping bag. “Lazy sack of air!” Meanwhile… “Lazy sack of air!” “It’s night. Leave me alone.” “SILENCE! I’d PREFER our new siblings to have friendly faces that are NOT lying face down in the ash when they come into existence!” “Does THIS look friendly to you?” Meanwhile… “…Odd… I sensed a use of a pict-“ “GOODNIGHT POHATU!!!” THE PICTURE IS NOT MINE IT BELONGS TO JOEV14 FROM http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/15229-bionicle-audio-narration-project-shadow-tahu/

BLOOOOOOD FOOOR THEEE BLOOOOOOD GOOOD!!! Part 208: Golden Night on the Golden Beach Tahu and Gali arrived on the Golden Beach. “Arlgh… I don’t want to know what’s going on.” “I do.” “Well you see, Onewa’s a filthy liar.” “*muffled* I HEARD THAT!” “Oh we’re well aware of that.” “Then why are you helping him depose the Ta-Matoran?” “Do you hate him too?” “Hate is such a strong word… tolerate, is more apt. But do you mean depose? He said that… oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh...” “*MUUUFFLEEED SCREEEAAAMIIING*” “Is Onua still in the ice?” “Of course he is!” “Someone get him out of there! Specifically you, Tahu.” “Yes, specifically you, Tahu.” “*sigh*” Tahu stuck his sword in the water, the ice melt, and immediately Onua, Kapura and Pekka leapt out of the water. “Hothothothothot!!!” “He’s in pain. That’s normal.” Jaller decided he had enough of sitting on a feeble old man and got off. “Onewa, I don’t believe this! After everything Vakama’s done for you!” “WHAT?! He got me in a scuffle with a nasty weed, got me thrown in jail, and got me turned into… GAH! He’s done NOTHING to help us before or after we arrived on Mata Nui!” “True, but that doesn’t mean you attack him!” “YES IT DOES! Look, if Vakama can PROVE that his leadership is the best for us, then I’ll stop.” “Then I guess we must have yet ANOTHER peace summit on Mount. Ihu.” “Yyyeeesss, do that. Very quickly. Because we have to get our masks. To stop Makuta.” “Fair enough. Does everyone still have the tents?” “Yes Turaga.” “Excellent. May I invite you six to stay here for the night?” “Finally, it’s about time I had a roof over my head that wasn’t cracked and a mile high.” REST EASY HEROES AND KOPAKA

I teleport my now heavy body on top of you. My mask.
