    I would love to see a male toa of water! Seriously, the toa of water had some very interesting traits like supporting unity and being calm and viewing the world with a level head (or, Gali was like that at least. XP). It would be great to see a male toa actually supporting unity or taking a step back to think about the bigger picture. Most of the guys in Bionicle year one seemed... well, like dare devils, aside from Onua. And Onua was far more mysterious than anything. =/Or it could just be me... After all, it has been a while since I've read anything aside from 2001 books lately. (Then again, Matoro was pretty close to what I would have liked to see, but that was more of a "he didn't have a backbone" type of thing, and he never really got to get to really shine after he would have gotten over that stage. =/).But I agree. A female toa of air, fire, stone, etc. That would indeed be interesting!

    Yeah, but those were the villains. The Bohrok, the Rahkshi... I don't recall them ever having a gender... O.o I mean, the Rahkshi were called the sons of Makuta, but I'm not sure if that gave gender. The heroes were always blue female, the rest male and I'm not sure if they sold better than the villains or not...Edit: Page two conquered. Aww yeah. XP

    That could also be due to consistency with sales. They've been making the blue Bionicle sets female and the rest male since 2001, so setting a disturbance in the force could be risky for sales (it's a marketing thing. Consistency is a huge factor in product quality, blah blah blah) XDBut, I would have loved to see a green female set (Why did they get rid of Breeze? T^T)... Or a red female set. That or we could just change the story so Pohatu is a girl... (Okay, I actually stumbled across a comic where someone grew up thinking Pohatu was a female in 2001, and it was actually kinda interesting. XD).

    Welcome to the disease! Now, you need to be suited for your mane and horseshoes, not to mention the cloak... But we can handle all that later. XPHaha, love Into the Woods, but I didn't pick up on that myself. =')And that's an odd way to spell PinkiePie... Why does everyone mess that up?(Wait, the entire topic? Dude, that's impressive... -bro-hoof-)

    Also, there's a fan-made game in development called My Little Investigators... It's basically Pheonix Wright Twilight Sparkle: Ace Attorney, only 20% cooler in every way. As in, beside the fact that it's MLP.

    O.o ... REALLY?! -squees like RainbowDash aka Spike with the element of Loyalty- But... How can you get 20% cooler than Maya, Nick and Mia? There had better be some serious hamburger action going down... Derpy should be the sidekick... or Pinkie XD. I mean, if it were a re-make of Apollo Justice (the game that does not exist because it failed to make Nick the main character not to mention Iris, Maya and Pearls just dropped off the face of the earth) then it could be over 20% cooler no problem.

    Hey, Tohkann! I drew you another picture!I'm Sorry, Kenji...Not sure what the context is, but I like to think it's one of those "...but I can't let you get in the way/but I have to do this alone" types of scenes. I also tampered with her design a bit and Sonia's more in my own style this time. ^^ (I've improved on drawing since the downtime. XP).Anyway, good luck with the episode!

    Not a bad story. I like the idea behind three toa being the last defense against a virus infecting the island. Though, I think there are some elements here that could be better utilized. Earlier when Dar reasons that leaving the island could spread the virus, I almost wanted to see that as a dispute among the three toa. Instead of Kota and Rania just agreeing with each other, it might better develop their characters if they went more in depth of their options and their consequences. Also, you mentioned that three toa had already been taken from the virus. I thought it would be interesting if maybe they had to fight against one of them? Of course this is your story, but it's just a thought.Also, I think the characters' actions weren't as natural as they should have been. When the matoran fell to their deaths, I was expecting a little hint or a nudge to some guilt that they had killed the ones they were supposed to protect. I wasn't getting too much of that. Also, Dar was the one who was opposed to going into the nest, but then he suddenly takes charge and refuses to retreat later in the story. Why the change of heart? For future stories, I'd suggest focusing more on the characters and trying to understand them a bit more, or to help the reader understand them more. After all, we don't know these characters or their past, so we have to go off of what you give us (it's something to keep in mind when using original characters especially).I loved the way you ended this. It really makes you wonder if Kota really found the cure, or if it would work on toa, or even if Dar infects Kota and Rania before they're able to cure him. You left it open and I really like that. ^^ Good luck!

    Hmm... Kraggh, your version of death sounds interesting. Kinda reminds me of the original Little Mermaid story (where she tries to win an immortal soul), only I'm assuming death will go about this a bit differently? ^^;And now I'm on the same page with how you used to portray death (gotta love examples. XP). Of course, I'm not planning on personifying death any time soon. But it would make an interesting story if death tried to have a family, and then had to rob them of their lives. Hmm... What if he jumped from family to family and developed a strange, almost psychotic habit about it? O.o That would be so creepy... Would he attend the funeral?Meh, it might make an interesting short story (though, it's probably been done. XP)

    Hmm... a toa of baking does sound pretty sweet. Doesn't need to be a girl, either (I made a pretty sweet Lewa cake, thank you very much. ^^).Kinda like Toa of Muffins... It's been forever since I've used those sprites. XDAnyway, thanks for telling which story it is, I'll be sure to check it out (anything with Lariska is good in my book. XD).

    Ever read "Godfather Death" by the Brothers Grimm? If I were to ever personify death in a story or in my mind, he'd probably be like that. The story isn't about death conning anyone or being evil, and it's not really him just doing his job either. Death actually seems to fit right in that story; he's a force of nature and he's actually pretty wise. He actually gives good fortune to his godson and even cautions him about how to use his fortune in life. He actually seems to care for someone as opposed to just being evil or as opposed to just doing a job, and I like that angle of death. It made the ending all the more sad for me, even though it didn't seem to be a sad story. (I like tragic stories. They're just so beautiful. ^^).

    @Bite My Shiny Metal Armour: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. ^^ Normally I don't like using canon characters. I normally like to take concepts that could be expanded on that the canon story really doesn't utilize for stories (in and outside of Bionicle). I noticed there was never really much character development of the matoran leaving their home on Mata Nui in order to go to Metru Nui, so I've had this idea for a while. The contest was just the right catalyst to finally get around to writing it. Originally I had planned on incorporating Nixie and a scene where Macku catches Hewkii before he left. Of course, when I started writing this one for the contest, those two snippets moved to the wayside (in order to fit with the rest of the story). I'm glad you think this was relateable, as that was my goal for my readers. ^^And yes, I love the Chronicler's Company as well. =D@Zarohum: Thanks so much! I'm really glad you liked the story (even if you are tired and grumpy XD). ^^Thanks to everyone who commented! Really, getting feedback of any kind always makes my day. ^^
