ShadowBionics

here is chapter 9, which I think is about a good length. Plus I don't want the chapters to get too lengthy.*It took a while, but eventually Tatl, Lewa, and Natalie made it up to the Mountain Village, where it was awfully cold, and I mean COLD.*Natalie, dressed warmly: Wow, it's a bit cool up here, isn't it? Tatl: Yes. But hopefully now nothing can stop us from getting back to the plot.*Lewa collapses into the snow, unmoving.*Tatl: What are you doing?Lewa: I'm freeze-dying here! No one told me it'd be this cold up here!Tatl: Oh, no, you're not! And besides, the place was covered in snow! What did you think it's be like up here?*So Tatl beats him in his kidneys (I get the feeling he might be losing those in the future) and forced him to get up. As Lewa took another step forawrd, his adaptive armor that was so underused in the original storyline took effect and changed so he was better suited for the cold environment.*Lewa: Wow, talk about a convenient plot device!Lord of shadows: It had so much potential... yet Lego hardly did anything with it.Kaepora Gaebora: Yes... that's the spirit.All 3: O_OKaepora Gaebora: Now then, allow me to--Lewa: Quick-run! *The three of our protagonists flee from the creepy bird as fast as they can.*Kaepora Gaebora: Why don't people like me? Hoot hoot.*Later on, the three of them were out of breath as they stopped their running.*Lewa: Stupid mountain... stupid bird... stupid cold...Tatl: It's not like you to whine. We're almost to the village up ahead, you can warm yourself up there.Natalie: That's good to know. Who lives there anyway?Tatl: It's mostly Onu-Matoran and Toa.Lewa: O_O No... NO!Tatl: What's wrong now?Lewa: Don't you remember?*Flashback.*Whenua: Party party party! Party party party!*End flashback.*Tatl: I'm not Navi! So I wouldn't know anything about your fear of Onu-Matoran or anything of the sort!Lewa: Well... it's a different clan of Onu-Matoran... maybe it won't be so bad... as long as I don't see their party head-honcho of theirs again.Natalie: Sounds like a fun guy. *laughs.* Must be a real live wire, then, huh?Tatl: Uh... what's that behind you?*Lewa and Natalie turn around and in the irony of Natalie's words, they see the dead form of Toa Whenua floating right behind them.*Whenua's ghost: Hi.*Natalie screamed and fell backward.*Lewa: Now you're making a come back?! Okay, kill me if you must, but don't start partying!Whenua's ghost: Why would I do that? I hate to party!Lewa: Why?Whenua's ghost: It was a party that claimed my life. Natalie: Wait, how can a party claim your life exactly?Whenua's ghost: There are a few ways, actually. Dance until you die... that's how I died.Natalie: So when did this become a Katy Perry fest? *laughs*Lewa: So what do you do now?Whenua's ghost: I haunt people now.Lewa: Lucky... I was so close to being a ghost to have that snatched-taken from me! Now I'll never get to haunt what I want!Whenua's ghost: Shut up! No one understands me! I'm going to run away, back to my grave!*So the deaceased Toa starts to flee from our protagonists.*Lewa: Wow, he got more depressed than Vakama.Vakama: It's all my fault I'm depressed.Natalie, getting up: Be quiet! You're a disgrace to people with accents everywhere! Now then, I think we should follow him.Lewa: I guess it's up to me to help him cross-over to the otherside.Tatl: What makes you think you're an expert?Lewa: It worked for that dancer guy, it'll work for him, too.Tatl: Why do I have the feeling something stupid is going to happen?Turaga Vakama, narrating: As the Toa made their way through the snow, Lewa was sure--Lewa: Wrong movie. Wait... how can we have young Vakama and old man Vakama? It's a time-glitch!Tatl: Just ignore it, you'll live longer.*So ignoring Vakama, Lewa followed the ghost of Whenua up to a grave where a hot spring was said to be. But of course there was only a lone grave with no hot spring. The trio then spotted the ghost sulking around in the corner and complaining about how no one understands him.*Whenua's ghost: What do you want?Lewa: I'm here to heal your soul and find inner peace.Whenua's ghost: Just leave, no one like you could ever heal my tortured soul.Lewa: That's where you're wrong! Ready?*Lewa takes out the ocarina and begins to play the Song of Healing.*Tatl: Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, shake. Shake your... whole-self.*Whenua then begins to feel weird and he begins to sway back and forth.*Whenua's ghost: I feel strange... what's going on...?*Inside Whenua's mind, he was alive once again, standing before his people and fellow archivists. They were all smiling at him, cheering him on and looking at him with admiration.*Bomonga: Dance dance dance dance dance dance...!*Whenua did not know what to say... but he was feeling much better than he did before... he no longer felt emo and angry at the world. He was actually... happy.*Whenua: I... I do like to party. Thank you, little hero... I can pass over to the other side...*However, this monet is cut short when he throws up his arms in pain and he turns into sparklies.*Whenua: Noooo! I don't want to be sparklies!*With his spirit healed, Whenua was finaly able to pass over. Then in a bright flash, his spirit vanished and al lthat remained was his Kanohi Mask.*Lewa: It worked! I'm a such a great person...Whenua's ghost, faintly: I'm stuck inside this mask! Help me!Natalie: Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves now.*And thus Lewa got Whenua's Mask... but what did it do exactly?*Lewa: I wonder if...? *He puts on the mask, and like the transformation mask before it, it began to take him over until Lewa closed his eyes and let out a painful scream. Then in a matter of moments, the Toa of air with his adaptive armor was replaced with--*Lewa: My body is so... rock-hard and strong... My armor's all tough and black... and I've got this beard! I must be like... Chuck Norris or something!Tatl: I think you're exaggerating.Natalie: Okay then, Mr. Strong man, why don't you test your strength if you so confident? *laughs.*Lewa: Okay, I will. *He goes behind Whenua's grave and pushes it. Moment he does, hot spring water starts flowing up and filling the chasym.*Natalie: Well, good enough for me.*Lewa wades through the water and take a bottle and catches some of the water in it. He proceeds to hold it up towards the audience.*Lewa: Is this okay, mommy?Tatl: Are you going to keep doing that every time you put something in a bottle?Lewa: Yeah, kind of.*Without his jets, Lewa could not fly down, so he had to go down the old fashioned way. Natalie had to get on his back as well, considering she had flown upwards with Lewa to begin with.*Tehutti: Ah! It's a ghost! Wait... Whenua?! Are you alive?Lewa: Uh...Mavrah: We're sorry, we thought you were dead, we didn't mean to bury you alive!Lewa: Well...Tehutti: Or was it because we buried you over the hot spring water and you came back to life?!Lewa: Sure... let's go with that.Tatl: Wait, so...Lewa, whispering: They must think I'm Whenua since I'm wearing this mask.Tatl: What are you getting at...?Lewa, imitating Whenua: Look, guys, it's been a real blast, but if you'll excuse me, I must go party now.Tatl: Seriously, what kind of hero are you?Lewa: One of a kind.Mavrah: Okay. Before you do, you might wanna check out the village. Bad stuff's been going down?Lewa, as Whenua: Did they steal the karaoke machine again?Tehutti: No, worse. There's this brat who won't stop crying. Worse yet is our patriarch has gone missing, so the brat won't shut up. We can't find him anywhere.Lewa, as Whenua: In that case... I'll have to decline partying and get to the bottom of this myself.Tehutti: Thanks, Whenua. It's no wonder everyone likes you so much.

All right, hey everyone, I'm here again with another story most of you might not read, but I don't care, I feel like writing something new so that's what I'm going to do. And darn it, why can't I stop rhyming?!Anyways, this is based off an idea I had about having someone be a bad comedian, and it was originally going to be someone like Makuta Teridax. I could possibly still do that idea, but I'm not sure if anyone would like it. So instead, I took a character from the Hero Factory line, Von Nebula, who was my next choice anyway. With that said, if any of you find these jokes to be not funny. Well... that's the point. This whole story is a joke within itself. I've just inception'd a massive joke within many other jokes.*A crowd is gathered around a stage, which has a backdrop of Von Nebula and a lone microphone stand. The lights turn on and center themselves at the microphone stand.*Mak Megahertz, via loud speaker: Welcome everyone to the second annual Makuhero City comedy jam. Now on for our first comedian and act for tonight. You know him as a ruthless villain and criminal mastermind, Von Nebula. Von Nebula, everyone.*Von Nebula rises from a trap door located in the center of the stage. He walks up to the microphone stand and takes it for himself.*Von Nebula: Hey, folks, glad to see you're all doing fine tonight. Also glad none of you have been attacked by any criminals that broke out. Huh, am I right?*silence.*Von Nebula: Yeah, because… there was a break out and… there's the Core Hunter guy out there. *Random guy in the audience coughs.*Von Nebula: Uh, right. So you know, I actually started out here at the Hero Factory. I used to work with Thresher and Stormer in those days. Stormer never liked me all that much. He always gave me the cold shoulder when I tried to talk to him. Huh, am I right?*Silence.*Von Nebula: Yeah, since he… shoots ice… I heard one time he turned someone into a block of ice after he told them to freeze. And speaking of that, ever notice that gun he carried before? He had the gun, the ice pick, the buzz saw, and all this other stuff going on. I mean, what didn't he have on that thing, right?*More Silence.*Von Nebula: But, yeah, he doesn't have that thing anymore. You know it's funny how he and his team needed to get upgraded to fight those fire guys, yet they didn't when they fought me. Am I right? And I met the Fire Lord guy. Interesting guy, I must say. I mean, he has antlers that can rival Megatron's and he speaks like he's from Gran Pulse. Because… Fang and Vanille have… that accent. *Still even more silence.*Von Nebula: Hmm… I guess you didn't get the reference. It was Final Fantasy XIII. It was only, like, three years ago since it was released. It's a pretty cool game. Try it out if you can. But yeah, what is the deal with those antlers? With antlers like those, I think he might as well be called "Moose Lord" instead. He looks like a deranged reindeer, I mean.*Crickets chirping.*Von Nebula: You know, the first time I met Breez, I actually didn't know she was a guy until I found out her name. When I saw her name was "Natalie Breez," first thing I thought was "that's not a normal name for a guy character." You know, because that's a girl's name. You have Natalie Portman. Um… Natalie Imbruglia… you know? *Crickets stop chirping, guy coughs.*Von Nebula, singing: Didn't want to leave you with the wrong impression, didn't want to leave you with my last confession… yeah… of love…*Audience stares at him with blank expressions.*Von Nebula: Ever heard that song? It's pretty good, actually. But anyways, at first I wasn't sure what to think of Breez after that. When I spoke to her, I even said how I thought her name was odd until I found out she was a girl. I felt pretty stupid after that. Her 2.0 upgrade only made it worse for me, you know? You know what I mean?Guy: You're lousy.Von Nebula: You won't be so smug when I drain your hero core! But anyways, was I the only one who thought the 2.0 upgrades looked weird? Evo's face looks like part of a locomotive. And hey, Stormer, what does the scouter say about my power level? Huh, am I right? And what about Furno's google eye goggles? You know, I thought his first helmet made him look like a pizza boy. His second helmet, I didn't know what to think. Nex looks like he's trying out for the local football team. Huh, am I right? That part of his helmet… looks like a football helmet. *Audience is silent once more.*Von Nebula: Personally, I think my upgrade was a bit cooler than Stormer's 2.0 upgrade. I mean, I'm much taller than he is and he's only just a little taller than before. Plus I got to keep my arms spikes and I got this special lollypop that creates black holes. Could his weapon do that? I don't think so. If he were here right now, I'd like to tell him a few things. Like… Thanks for the memories. Even if they weren't so great. Stormer and me go way back. He always has to take the glory. I think if he couldn't take the glory once in his life, it would probably kill him. You know, because it's hardwired in his mind. To take the glory. For everything. And to crush my dreams. So then that's when I decided if I couldn't live out my dream, I'd become a criminal mastermind and make sure no one else could live their dreams.Guy: What is your dream?Von Nebula: Partially to be a stand-up comedian. But you don't want to know about my dreams. Thank you all, you've been a wonderful audience.Mak Megahertz: Let's hear it for Von Nebula, everyone. Von Nebula… the criminal mastermind who's also a stand-up comedian. Now, give it up for the half-time act, part-time villain and part-time singing sensation, Black Phantom.*The stage darkens and Black Phantom runs up on stage to the same microphone Von Nebula was at. And then the music starts...*Black Phantom, singing: Hey, I’m Black Phantom, and this is crazy, but I’m so EVIL! I want your factory! It's hard to think right, I’m so crazy, cause I’m so evil, so give up, maybe? Hey, I’m Black Phantom, and this is crazy, but I’m so EVIL! I want your factory! And all the little heroes, want to stop me. But I’m so evil, so give up, maybe?

Great latest chapter! (I read the others a while ago but wasn't able to comment because I was in a hurry, sorry! I barely have time to write my own comedies anymore ) Anyway, my favorite part was the random NCS reference and the king's reaction/punishment for it. Also the constant mispronunciation of Odolwa's name. Great work!Can't wait to see what you do with Snowhead! Lewa0111 Nuva

No, that's all right, I understand. I'm in a hurry myself. I stay on here just long enough to post up the next chapter before I either leave or go to another part of the forum because I have spare time. Wow, I'm surprised you recognized the reference. He and chuggaa are mentioned and appear in the original edit. Although since their humor is sort of.. you know... I don't mention them by name. The Deku king was one of my favorite characters in that chapter. Then again, he seems like one of those ignorant kind of rulers in the game.Well, we will be getting to Snowhead in a few more chapters or so. I think if I keep combining chapters now and again, it might speed up the process. This case, here is chapter 7 combined with chapter 8. Oddly, since they're mostly kind of short (at least compared to the chapters of Twilight Delinquent), I think this will work out better.*Moments after Lewa somehow managed to defeat Odolwa, a magic exit appeared and inside of it was a mask that looked like the one Odolwa wore before he died.*Lewa: It's a magic exit! I never thought I'd see one of these again.*Lewa ran into the magic exit and picked up Odolwa's mask, and the moment he did, he was teleported to a strange, magical place where it looked like someone was using too much bubble bath and it overflowed.*Lewa: Great! The magic exit killed me! But now... I'm in heaven.Tatl: You're not dead, dimwit. When you die, there'll be more fire and brimstone.Lewa: Why would I end up at an industrial park?Tatl, groans: You're hopeless. But that still leaves the question of where we are.Lewa: I guess now I'll have to make do with my new ghostly form.Tatl: A normal person would be concerned if they were dead.Lewa: Well, I've got big plans... very big plans... *raises eyebrows.*Tatl: Like that?Lewa: You know, ghost stuff. Like scare-haunting people to make them give me money.Tatl: Stop being such a freak and show some actual concern here!Giant #1: Hey, what's going on out there? Can't a giant take a giant bubble bath in peace?!Lewa: It's Mata Nui! And he let himself go!Giant #1: What? I'm not Mata Nui, you dunce bucket! I'm a guardian giant.Lewa: Guardian giant?Tatl: That's right. There are four giants who watch over all of Alma Nui.Lewa: Then can I be blunt? You're doing a crud-job.Giant #1: What?!Lewa: Well, yeah. Alma Nui's full of monsters, dogs are living with cats, horses are wearing people's clothes...Tatl: Babies driving vehicles.Lewa: The Happy Mask Salesman hasn't been institutionalized, monkeys are getting dunked, Michael Cena is still acting... Alma Nui is a complete and total nightmare.*Back in Alma Nui...*Natalie: Wow, who knew this place would have such a great shopping center? *laughs.* I could almost live here if I wanted to!*Back... wherever Lewa and Tatl are...*Giant #1: Oh, this is just great! I leave the office for just one day and already everything is going down in flames! This is the only day off I get in 1,000 years, and now I have to spend it fixing everything?! I haven't even had a bath in 1,000 years, and have you ever smelled a giant that hasn't bathed in 1,000 years?Lewa: No, and I don't want to.Tatl: So you'll help us?Giant #1: Okay, I'll help you... wait a minute. Why should I have to go back to work before everyone else? I'm not moving unless you can get the other three to do the same.Lewa: The other three?Giant #1: Yes, my fellow co-workers. Don't worry, to get to them all you have to do is climb up a mountain, swim through a deep ocean, and then climb up a bigger mountain. From there, just go to the temples and free them.Lewa: Other... three temples?Tatl: Okay then.Giant #1: If you can do that, then I will help youLewa: Other... three temples?Giant #1: After that, then you may call us when you need us.Lewa: Other... three temples?Tatl: Would you be quiet?!Giant #1: Here's my card. *The giant tosses over a small business card, and on it was the Oath to Order printed on it.* Use it wisely.Lewa: Okay, sure-fine.Giant #1: Now if you'll excuse me... *As the giant goes back to return to his bath, Lewa and Tatl are teleported back somewhere within the Woodfall temple.*Lewa: Who's idea was it to give every weirdo a temple?Lord of shadows: Don't look at me, I'm just the one spoofing the stuff.Tatl: It's not that big of a deal, get over it. We don't have any other choice in this.Lewa: He's an even worse guardian than Mata Nui was!Deku Princess: Uh, excuse me? Is someone there?*Lewa and Tatl turned around to see a small alcove covered by plantlife, where the small voice they heard was coming from.*Lewa: Oh, yeah, I almost forogt about her! Don't worry, Lewa, the Hero of Time is here to rescue you… from whatever you need rescuing from.*Lewa hacks the plants with his sword and rushes into the alcove, expecting a cute princess-type of girl. Instead… he gets a kind of cute plant-girl...*Lewa: *Insert sound of glass breaking.*Deku Princess: What was that?Tatl: The sound of his mind being broken.Deku Princess: Okay. So you're… a hero? You're here to save me? By chance did the moneky ask you to save me?Lewa, shaky voice: Y-y-y-yes he did, as matter-fact.Deku Princess: Just as I suspected, your body smells a little like monkey.Lewa: I knew I should have brought deoderant.Deku Princess: So the moneky made it out okay. That's good.Lewa: Yeah, about that…Deku Princess: I was worried than when I didn't come home, my father would think the moneky kidnapped me or something. I was worried he'd even go as far as to punish the poor thing.Lewa: Yeah… he is. He's getting bungie-dunked in boiling water as we speak.Deku Princess: Say what?! Don't tell me… are you serious?!Lewa: If I'm lying, I'm dying.*Tatl groans.*Deku Princess: He's doing that? Yet another hasty decision, father!*Then she gets all pouty (she looks cute when she's pouty) and then makes some angry squealy noises.*Deku Princess: We don't have any time to lose! Quickly, Mr. Lewa, get something to carry me back to the Deku Palace!Tatl: Yeah, let's see if we can find some sort of carriage or chair or--*Lewa scoops the princess inside of a bottle and holds it up towards the audience/readers.*Lewa: Is this okay, mommy?Tatl: Why did you do that?Lewa: She says we haven't time to lose.Tatl: No, I mean use that stupid joke again?Lewa: Who's going to arrest-stop me, the Joke Police?Deku Princess: Hurry, Mr. Lewa, take me to the palace!*Meanwhile, as Lewa and Tatl were racing back to the Deku Palace, the Deku King was still going with the monkey's "trial."*Guard 1: Your majesty! Are you sure we should be doing this?Deku King: Don't be so silly. The monkey's having a great time over there, swaying back and forth and back and forth and-- wait, is he trying to hypnotize me? He is! In that case, Dunk the--*That moment, Lewa (wearing the Deku Mask) came in with the bottle in hand.*Lewa: Hey, king, we found your daughter. Here you go. *He takes the bottle and dumps the princess out. Oh, yeah, that's really gentlemen-like, dump her out on the floor like that, why don't you?*Deku King: Oh, my princess! You've returned!Deku Princess, angrily: Father...*In an instant, she then runs as if there were a fire and she proceeds to knock over her father, jumping up and down on him. Yeah! Bounce on him! That's right! Stick to your father! Show him he can't just push us children around! We're not going to take it! The guards were cowering in fear as they watched the princess unleash her fury on the king. When she was done, she turned around and faced the guards, all of which looked at her in fear. And the Deku Butler just stood there.*Deku Princess: What are you standing around for, you fools?! Release that poor monkey this instant!*The guards do as they are told and Deku Butler just stands there because he doesn't care. She then runs right back to Lewa in the same fashion as earlier.*Lewa: Where's the fire at?Deku Princess: In your eyes, sugar.Lewa: Uh... Huh.Deku Princess: Oh, Mr. Monkey, I am truly sorry. Father does rash things when he's worried about me.Monkey: I understand, forget about that. The temple's been returned to normal?Deku Princess: Why, yes... thanks to Mr. Lewa over here...*She eyes him in a sort of odd manner... moving on.*Deku Princess: I am truly grateful.Monkey: Really, that's so awesome. I bow before your greatness. *The monkey bows before Deku Lewa, and Lewa does the same, but not all the way.*Deku Princess, flirting: So... Mr. Lewa... will you be staying much longer?Lewa: Not really, I have a sad-moon to stop before this weird-freak drops it on all of us.Deku Princess: Okay. Be sure to drop anytime you'd like! Really...Lewa: I'm going going to quick-run now.Deku Butler: Hello there, sir. I am Deku Butler.Lewa: Is that your real name?Deku Butler: Yes.Lewa: Okay, just checking.Deku Butler: When I look at you, I am reminded of my son, who left for New York years ago. If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere... those were the words of Alicia Keys.Lewa: And what does that to do with anything?Deku Butler: Nothing, I just wanted to stir some idle conversation. Here, take this pig mask that makes you look like a pig.*Thus Lewa got the Mask of Scents.*Lewa: Okay... thanks?*Lewa takes off in one of his signature sprints as Tatl tries her best to keep up. Yeah, she wasn't as fast as Navi was in keeping up with him, but what can you do? Once he was nearing the outside, he took off the Deku Mask to return to his normal self. Lewa managed to get out of the swamp area and found himself outside of the Milk Road, which was mostly blocked off by a large boulder.*Lewa: Strange. Why's a boulder in the path?Tatl: Maybe there was a rock slide...Lewa: Or maybe this was foul-play. And the culprit behind this has to be... Red Herring!Tatl: Stop referencing TV shows that were cancelled in the 90's, most of our readers won't understand them!*So then Lewa decided to leave since there wasn't anything he could do. He went back into Clock Town and he met back up with Natalie, who looked like she just finished with a public affair... If you understand that reference, then I feel so bad right now.*Lewa: There you are!Natalie: Oh, hi. Just finished up scoping out this place. They've got some nice little shops and these really cool places to hang out at.Lewa: That's good. I just finished the swamp, now we have to go to the mountain.Natalie: Hmm. Okay, I think I'll tag along.Lewa: You sure?Natalie: Why not? I like climbing. It's some good exercise. *laughs.**As Lewa, Tatl, and Natalie were getting ready to go for the mountains, the sun started to set and then on a lone rock in the distance, appeared this really scary man who looks like he should have been dead.*Kamaro: I am no longer a part of the living... My sadness to the moon... I haven't left my dance to the world... I am filled with regret.Lewa: What?Natalie: I am disappointed, oh moon, I have died!Tatl: What?Natalie: What? You don't understand what he's saying?Lewa: I guess I don't. He sounds like a fortune cookie. Or like Shakespeare in the forest. "Does thou mother knoweth you dance in a manner so heinous?"Kamaro: Oh, I planned to bring the world together and stir it into a giant melting pot with my dance. If only I had taught my new dance to someone.Lewa: I wanna hit this guy right now.Natalie: Wait... this is just a shot in the dark, but... what if all he needs is some soul mending?Lewa: Wait, don't we know something like that? *He takes out his ocarina.* Navi, the Song of Healing!Tatl: It's Tatl! And what do you mean?Lewa: I'll play the music, you sing the lyrics!Tatl: What?! But I-- *groans.**Lewa begins to play the song and Tatl begins to sing along with it.*Tatl: Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, shake... Shake your... whole self.*The song's properties then began to work on Kamaro, and it seemed to have done the trick as Natalie suggested.*Kamaro: Spread my dance across the world, train its followers.Natalie: I've taught it to you, now make it a popular dance craze.Lewa: Oh, now I get it.*And thus Lewa got Kamaro's Mask.*Kamaro: I'm counting on you.Natalie: I'm counting on you.*So Kamaro disappears and Lewa is left to stare at the new mask.*Tatl: So what does this one do?Lewa, put it on: I don't know.Natalie: You look like a loon or something. *laughs.*Lewa: I feel funny. *That's when he begins to break into dance.*George Michael's voice, singing: And I'm never going to dance again, guilty feelings, got no rhythm...*So by using this mask, Lewa apparently gained the ability to dance while playing George Michael's songs. I guess that's... sort of useful. I think?*Tatl: Can we head up that mountain now?Natalie: Unless you'd rather goof around some more and do some of those fancy side quests I've heard about.Lewa, stops: How do you know?Natalie: I read the game strategy guide. *embarassed laugh* I'm surprised the author hasn't covered everything you can do yet at this point.Lewa: I'm scale-climbing this mountain.Tatl: I guess those jets are just for show?*Lewa looked at her blankly and then looked on either side of him at his jets, obviously having forgotten them since the last time.*Lewa: That works, too.

For those who said about the whole reboot thing, I agree with you. Clean slate, new story, and no ties to the old story. It might sound crazy, but I do agree with a lot of the reasoning others have given.2009 was meant to be like a "reboot" so to say, but that didn't go so well since it kind of harkens to the 2001-2008 story quite a bit, so for anyone who just "tuned in" to the story, they might not know what's going on unless someone tells them "oh, this is what happened," and give them a low down on the previous story. So if it did return, what they ought to do is completely restart it from the ground up. Maybe keep the same characters, but nothing to tie it in with the old storyline, especially if this were to be many years in the future. Something new and built from scratch, that way new fans can understand what's going on. Same time though, it would be a good idea to keep that same feel from the early years of Bionicle. And not go from an island to 3 planets. The story got a bit complicated after 2005/2006. At least, for me, it did. I'd been a fan since 2001, so when they started to go into the concept of the Matoran universe and how these all these islands beneath the island of Mata Nui, that's when I had to slow down and sort of go over it again. It got more complicated once the plot twist in 2008 revealed all the islands were within Mata Nui as the Matoran universe. Yeah... Even to this day, that still sort of weirded me out.So in a nutshell, build the story again from the ground up, and it's okay to keep the same characters but just don't delve into the whole previous story as to not confuse fans. And to also try and keep that same kind of mystique from 2001-2003 without rushing into the whole "there's these three planets and Mata Nui's this giant robot everyone lives in" kind of thing, because that kind of weirded me out.

I avoid coming to this site now because it's not the same. Too many rude people out here. And the end of Bionicle has increased antagonism, because I certainly did not feel that way (at least not so strongly) before Bionicle ended.

I actually kind of agree with that... I left the site for almost a year because I felt it was so chaotic. That, and a lot of flaming and harassment I got wasn't very helpful either. Once the line was cancelled, that's when things got crazy and out of hand. Things definitely changed.What I miss a lot was the storyline. There was a lot of depth and substance to the characters. I still remember the days I used to spend reading the comics. Granted, they weren't as detailed as the books, but I liked reading them never the less. And when the books cam out, I enjoyed them as well and I loved reading them. I remember sometimes I'd read the entire thing in about 2 hours or so because I honestly didn't want to stop reading. So in conjunction with the storyline, I also miss the books and comics quite a lot. I also remember the time I'd spend on the games, like the ones in the 2006 story. The Piraka one was very fun for me and I was glad when I got to the end of it. I miss a lot of those games and I wish I could go back and play them again. I also miss the things like the Kanoka club where you could enter codes and get points to earn small prizes, a lot like the Toa Metru games or wall papers. I miss a lot of those, too. I miss a lot of things from the site back in the old days, come to think about it. Especially the old animations, I liked watching those as well. Come to think of it, there's so many things I miss, I'd probably take a while to actually name everything. Those are the big ones, though, and I truly do miss a lot of it. All the time I would spend either reading the comics/books or playing the games on the Bionicle website is now gone and dedicated to something else.

Here are chapter 5 and 6. I'm going to combine these next to chapters since the former seems a bit short. Here you go. Also note the obviously outdated joke and reference to how I originally tried to write this story for BZPower two years ago... With that said, a lot of these jokes might be outdated and while I have gone and changed a few of them for BZP, there are some that are just intergral to the story and thus can't be changed unless a plothole were to be left in its place. *Lewa and Tatl ventured past the southern gate in Clock Town to go to the swamp, after learning from the Happy Mask Salesman about what was going on… but how does he know?*Happy Mask Salesman: Because I stole your notes.Lord of shadows: Give those back to me! *steals back his notes and goes away.**ANYWAY, Natalie elected to stay behind, as she didn't want to go into the swamp very much due to some… bad experiences. Lewa looked out and the first thing he sees his all of these monsters running loose.*Tatl: Okay, Lewa, time to set off on our epic adventure that is NOT cancelled.Lewa: Why was it cancelled?LOS: Don't look at me, BZPower rejected it.*Several seconds later, we cut to the Deku Palace, just as the boat is dropping off Lewa.*Lewa: Swamp-land, here we come!*Indeed, Lewa and Tatl were outside the Deku Palace, which was crawling with many guards… and it had awesome music playing throughout.*Lewa: I like this music, it is so shiny.Tatl: Okay, we're here now.Lewa: Shut up, I wanna hear the music!Tatl: This place looks heavily guarded. The only way we can get in is if you put on that mask and be a Deku Scrub again.Lewa: Aww! But I wanna hear the music!Tatl: Do it! *she snaps her claw-- oh, wait, she's not Nisfreaki. She holds her first to threaten his kidneys.*Lewa: I don't wanna be a scrub again. I can't just go kill-slaughter then? Tatl: No! Besides, what kind of hero would you be if you did that?Lewa: But I hit that other guard on the head that other time.Tatl: What other time? Look, Lewa, just stop complaining and use the mask.Lewa: Fine… *He takes out the Deku Mask and puts it on. He starts to gasp as the mask starts to change him, then lets out a horrifying scream as the mask completely rewrites his DNA.*Tatl: That didn't hurt, did it?Lewa: No, I only had my whole DNA rewritten.Tatl: Stop being such a baby. We have a palace to investigate.*So Lewa goes up to the two guards at the main gate.*Guard 1: This is the palace of the Deku kingdom! Only those on official business may enter! But you may enter to see the public humiliation of the monkey that angered out king!Lewa: Uh… thanks?Guard 2: Follow this hall straight to the Royal Chamber and do not enter any other areas whatsoever!*So Lewa does as he is told and he enters the chamber where there's this guy on a throne waving a baby rattle around. This must have been THE KING on his throne. So Lewa got out his camera (well, he stole it from Tahu) and took a picture of him freaking out. Then he went up to talk to him.*The King: Why'd you just take my picture?! Are you some sort of papparazzi?!Lewa: No.The King: I haven't seen your face before. Are you visiting? Usually, I don't allow the likes of you in my chamber, but today is totally different. We're about to punish the monkey responsible for Toa Lhikan's demise!Lewa: Uh…The King: Oh, I mean, the monkey responsible for the kidnapping of out princess!Lewa: Princess?The King: Yes. He stole her…Lewa: Uh, sure… Listen, I'll be right back.The King: Oh, sure, go one ahead.*Lewa went over to the monkey's cage and he managed to squeeze his way in.*Monkey: They keep saying that I kidnapped her. No matter how many times they say it, it's not going to bring her back! If they're not careful, she'll fall victim to a monster!Lewa: Hey, monkey, I'm Lewa and this is Navi.Tatl: Tatl!Lewa: We're going to rescue you.Monkey: How did you get in here? Nevermind, they'll capture you if they see you. Just cut the rope, we'll talk after that!Lewa: Okay. *He takes his sword and hacks at the ropes, but no use.*Monkey: No good after all. You don't have anything that can make noise, like an instrument?Lewa: I do, actually. *He takes out his ocarina.*Monkey: Eh… Not good enough. You have anything else?Lewa: No… I might as well put this on so they don't see me… *At that moment, though, that tiny little ocarina became the Deku pipes.*Monkey: Oh, you have them, like the princess! Deku pipes! Those will work fine! Who are you??Lewa: I'm the Hero of Time.Monkey: Look, I was trying to find out about the poison in the swamp at Woodfall Temple.Lewa: so that's why the water is nasty-dirty…Monkey: Yeah, but the temple became a monster's lair, and the princess got captured by it. Since that old king thinks I kidnapped his daughter, he won't listen to a thing I say. Some's got to hurry and save her.Lewa: Okay, that makes sense. Monkey: So you'll go in my place to save the princess?Lewa: I dunno.Monkey: I'll teach you the melody that opens the temple. The princess taught it to me. *The monkey starts to hoot in the tune of the Sonata of Awakening. Lewa follows along with his Deku pipes and thus he learned the Sonata of Awakening. However, the Deku King heard this song and got angry.*Lewa: Okay, I got it. Now how do we get out of here?Tatl: You got me. Lewa: Does Lord of shadows know?Tatl: Please, the only thing he's good for is making references to songs no one has heard and making references to bad jokes.The King: Did you hear that? The melody, that only the Royal Family is meant to know… It only proves the monkey tricked the princess so he could enter the temple! Let the monkey's trial begin! Lewa: Uh… Is this okay, mommy?The King: He stole a joke… and did it badly! Arrest him!*At his orders, the guards arrest him.*Lewa: Ow, my kidneys...*Lewa was just captured by the Deku Palace guards after trying to help out an innocent monkey accused of kidnapping a princess… this almost sounds like a Mario game. Now, though…*Lewa: I'm innocent, I tell you!Tatl: Shut it, you moron.The King: You'll get what's coming to you, joke stealer, but don't panic for although the crime of joke stealing is a heinous one indeed, we'd be nothing without our fair and just judicial system.Lewa: Oh, okay.The King: Now for the monkey's trial… Dunk the monkey!Guards: Dunk the monkey!*The monkey, being hung from a rope, was lowered into a pot of boiling water.*Lewa: What was that for?!The King: He kidnapped our princess!Tat: How are you really sure it was the monkey? This is just a misunderstanding!The King: Well, because you see in my youth, I tried to steal a snack before dinner, and my mother caught me and said, "That's enough of that… monkey business." So whenever anything is stolen or kidnapped, then it must have been a monkey.*And don't worry, the monkey isn't dead, he's still alive, but he just got dunked.*Tatl: You sure it doesn't have anything to do with the monsters?The King: Silly fairy, who ever heard of monster business?Lewa: Okay, so this princess everyone's going on about… She's supposed to be a princess of plants?The King: Well, if anything she looks a little like me with a dress.Tatl: Save it, we've lost him.Lewa: Okay, I'll do it!Monkey: Thank you…The King: Really? You'll go save her?Lewa: Yes, but promise me you won't dunk the monkey.Guards: Dunk the monkey!*The monkey, being hung from a rope, was lowered into a pot of boiling water.*The King: You fools, you're only supposed to say that when I say "Dunk the monkey!"Guards: Dunk the monkey!*The monkey, being hung from a rope, was lowered into a pot of boiling water.*Tatl: Would you two stop saying that?The King: Saying what?Lewa: Yeah, what?Tatl: Saying "Dunk the monkey!"Guards: Dunk the monkey!*The monkey, being hung from a rope, was lowered into a pot of boiling water.*Lewa: Navi, that was just cruel-mean!The King: I concur.Tatl: I hate you both so much right now…*So after Lewa and Tatl left the Royal Chamber, they set off to go and find wherever the temple the monkey was talking about was, but so far they weren't having a whole lot of luck… They walked out into the rain and they were getting hopelessly lost with every step they took… And that's when he came out of nowhere.*Kaepora Gaebora: Hoot hoot.*If you wanted a moment of ultra-creepiness, this would be that perfect moment, staring up at a big bird with an angry chicken face in the dark while the rain pours down on the two of you as the thunder roars and the lightning flashes before your eyes. I'm trying to sound like Nathaniel Hawthorne, but not succeeding obviously. The bird stood over our hero with his angry chicken eyes piercing into his soul as if to look deep into his heart and search for his inner most darkest secrets. His sharp talons clung onto the--*Tatl: all right, we get it already!Lewa, sarcastic: Well, look who decided to show up.Tatl: You know this bird?Lewa: Know him? I was tortured by him telling a story about Taylor Swift.Kaepora Gaebora: This is a rare sight.Lewa: I wish I could say the same for you.Kaepora Gaebora: You are a Toa, correct?Lewa: Yeah, what's it to you?Kaepora Gaebora: What business may you have in the poisoned swamp?Lewa: I'm going to buy some bedazzled-jewelry for people I know. Now shove over and don't tell your useless long-stories to me.Kaepora Gaebora: If you dare not venture further, I will pass no further judgment.Chirox: You got judged!Lewa: Who are you?! And why are you judging me?!Kaepora Gaebora: This reminds me of a story…Lewa: Oh, no, not that, anything but that!Kaepora Gaebora: This reminds me of back when I was just a little hatchling who didn't know how to fly.Lewa: Well, now you can fly, so I'm going to the temple now, hero-gallant style, and save the princess, so bye and good riddance! *Lewa flies off as fast as his jets can take him and through the rain he eventually finds the temple. Remembering what the monkey told him, he landed and had no choice but to be a Deku scrub again and play the Sonata of Awakening to enter the temple.*Tatl: Okay, so now what?*In the irony of her words, the temple begins to rise from the poisoned water, slowly but steadily, and now Lewa would be able to go inside.*Lewa: Does that answer your question?Tatl: Yeah, pretty much.Lewa: Good. Then let's get inside!*They crossed their way to the birdge and made it inside of the temple, which was filled with a great many things mostly involving platnlife gone wild (this is why you must always take good care of your plants, kids) and mutant frogs who rode atop of turles.*Tatl: What's with this frog?Lewa: He's gone mad!*Yes, he truly, madly, deeply was mad, in the fact that he moved in a way most erratic and crazed through the air. Lewa fired his Midak Skyblaster at him to calm him down once he took down his turtle mount.*Lewa: Mission accomplished!Tatl: Somehow I don't think that was the monster the monkey was talking about.Lewa: What makes you say that?*Just then, the floor gives away and Lewa somehow ends up in the boss chamber.*Odolwa: So, you have managed to discover where we were hiding the princess…Lewa: Hmm… jungle man.Odolwa: Well, this information is no longer relevant, for you will die at the blade of me… Masked Jungle Warrior Odolwa!Lewa: Great, okay, so Odd-balla, can we have the princess?Odolwa: My name is Odolwa! And no, you can't have her!Lewa: So you're the boss? But you're just a guy with a sword and a shield, not a huge-insane monster with great power.Odolwa: That's because I know all about you… Hero of Time!Lewa, gasp: My secret identity's been revealed! Curse you, Otto van Buren!Odolwa: For the last time, it's Odolwa! And I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.Lewa: I'm not a Pokemon! You can't throw-capture me in a Pokeball or anything!Odolwa: This shall be an honorable fight between two swordsman, for men who fight without honor are lower than the lowest of the lowerest of the low.Tatl: There's no word "lowerest."Odolwa: It is in my book! Now, then, Hero of Time, let us get to fighting.Lewa: Surprise bomb blast!Odolwa: Wait, what--?!*Lewa takes a barrage of bombs and throws them at Odolwa, defeating him and causing the chamber to explode.*Odolwa, as he dies: Cheap-shot…

This was truly hilarious. Best parts were the Icarax/Twilight, Amon, and Farshtey jokes.A good tip would be to first introduce some of the non-canon Makuta. I've been on BZP for two years, but I never went into Comedies before the downtime. So now, I have no idea what's going on in your reboot.

I'm glad you liked it. I am going to introduce the non-canon Makuta more in the future chapters. If you do want to know what is going on and why this is a reboot, then I guess it would be a good idea to actually link to the main series. These links are from the old BZPower, so it will log you out.A Day in the life of Teridax?This is the original series where all the character originate. Sadly, there's 23 chapters missing since they were deleted in the Dataclysm back in the day. However, they're not like super essential to the story, but if you'd ever want to know what happened, I can give you a main overview. Also note this was written by the old me. The old, insane, elaborate humor, singer Natalie Horler fan me who no longer exists in the same form. So with that said, my writing from 2-6 years ago will be different from how it is now.Ask RoodakaAsk Roodaka is a somewhat "sister series" to ADITLOT seeing as they have crossed over near the end of the AR series and this is the same Teridax who appears in ADITLOT, as do Icarax and Spiriah. This also has a few chapters missing, but that's mainly due to a weird thing I did when I made a sequel series, but then I went back to writing AR. None of those are important, to be honest, but if you want to know what happened, just ask. What mostly happened was just a lot of insane stuff on the moon that revolves around Teridax disguising himself as Maxilos and Karzahni wanting to enslave Roodaka and her crew. Aside from that, you can skip the "missing chapters." Like ADITLOT, AR was also written in my old style, and this was in 2006 so at around this time was when I was trying to find my roots. I did get better, so don't worry. However, in its day a lot of my friends and fans thought this was one of my best. ADITLOT kind of carried the same spirit of AR and took it to a newer level. I did think of reviving Ask Roodaka a third time, but that never happened.

Here is chapter 4, although in this case it is now chapter 3. Combining chapters is so weird, yet it helps speed things along and makes the story telling go along smoother.*The moon was about to collide with Clock Town, and all Lewa was doing was staring at the Ocarina of Time. Without thinking, Lewa tried to attack Remote again, this time making him drop his own remote control weapon. Lewa scrambled over and snatched that as well.*Remote 2.0: That's the last straw. Now accept your doom!Tael: Swamp. Mountain. Ocean. Bigger Mountain. Find the four who are there, bring them here.Remote 2.0: Stop talking in nonsense, fool!Tatl: What are you talking about?Natalie, beating up Breez: You're going down, name-stealer!*While all the chaos was going on, Lewa was having a flashback...*Nokama: Why aren't you staying Lewa? Don't you like me?Lewa: It's not that. I like you. I just want to find my fairy friend.Nokama: I understand. Well, take the Ocarina of Time with you to remember me by. Lewa: You don't need it?Nokama: No, not with Antroz being locked up. There's no point. If you ever are in trouble use it to play the Song of time. The Goddess of Time will help you. You'll be forced to relive the same three days like in the movie Groundhog Day, but it's better than nothing...*End of Flashback*Lewa: Well, this qualifies as trouble... *He tries to use the Ocarina of Time, but then upon usage, it turns into the Deku pipes. He uses it to play the Song of Time, and just like that, he is warped back to the beginning of everything, to the very start of the three days.*Tatl: Wha-what?! What happened?! Where are we? Why's everything back to normal? Lewa: Beats me.Tatl: That instrument!Lewa: What about it?Tatl: What did you do?Happy Mask Salesman: A better question would be "What didn't he do?"Lewa: What the-- What are you doing here?Happy Mask Salesman: The better question would be "What are you doing here?" You were gone for five seconds after I tried to sing you the Song of Healing. You were just dropped here out of nowhere. Now I assume that means you have the mask I wanted.Lewa: About that...Happy Mask Salesman, berattling him: Oh, great, you've got it!Lewa: Would you let me go, you freak?Happy Mask Salesman: Okay, now we have to turn you back to your normal self. Now, off with that mask, boy. *berattling him.* Off with it now! Be gone now!Lewa: You're shaking me from my shoulders! And I'm not wearing a mask!Happy Mask Salesman, stops: Oh. Right. Okay then. In that case, I must teach you the Song of Healing.Tatl: Oh, dear, no!Happy Mask Salesman: Here's my massive organ. *He indicates the large instrument in the corner.* Now then, let me play you the Song of Healing...*The Mask Salesman then begins to play a soft melody*Tatl: Well, I guess that's a nice song.Happy Mask Salesman, singing to song: Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, shake. Shake your whole self.Tatl: Okay, never mind then.*At that moment, Lewa felt his body beginning to writhe.**Inside Lewa's head, he was a Toa again and he saw a big Deku Scrub, leaving him.*Lewa: Bye!Deku Scrub: See you later, boy.Lewa: Why do you sound like Antroz?Deku Scrub: Because I'm red, that's why.*Back in reality, Lewa was turned back into a Toa, and from his face fell as mask that looked like a Deku Scrub.*Lewa: What? I'm back to my Toa-Hero self again?! Yes! *He then takes the mask for himself and looks at it.* Sort of odd-looking if I say so myself.Happy Mask Salesman: Good, then. I've kept my end of the deal, now give me what you've promised to me.Lewa: Yeah, about that... you see...Happy Mask Salesman: Don't tell me... my mask... you didn't...Tatl: I'm scared.Lewa: You aren't mad, are you?Happy Mask Salesman: No, I'm not mad...Lewa: Okay, good...Happy Mask Salesman: Because I'm going to kill you!*The Happy Mask Salesman lets out a monster-like roar, grabs Lewa by the neck, and begins to strangle him.*Happy Mask Salesman: Do you know what you've done to me?! I don't think you do!Lewa, choked: I'm sorry...Happy Mask Salesman: The mask that got stolen from me was Elitha's Mask! They say its original master and maker used it to perform hexes and rituals, at least until the owner was betrayed and had their spirit sealed within the mask. That was a big mistake, it was, because this was also the Mask of Death. The mask had to be sealed away in darkness and it had since vanished into legend.Lewa, falls to the floor: So what now?Happy Mask Salesman: I went through a lot of trouble to get that mask, but then that demented toy stole it from me. Please, I beg of you, you must get it back!Lewa: Okay, just keep your hands off me and maybe I'll help you. Happy Mask Salesman: Keep that song I taught you in mind, it should be of some help to you. Lewa: Hold on.Natalie Horler, singing: What's going on? 'Cause you're stuck in the middle, move along.Lewa: Now tell me about this weird thing Remote dropped. I snatch-stole it from him when I attacked him a second time.Happy Mask Salesman: Hmm... judging by the inscriptions, this must be a magic remote.Lewa: Magic how?Happy Mask Salesman: This thing is tainted by the mask. I'm surprised you got it. Well, I can assume if you really wanted to, you could do almost whatever you want to alter the time and space fabric of our very universe. Just as Remote himself has done. Like if you pressed this rewind button, you'd relive the moment again.Lewa: Like the movie Groundhog Day?Happy Mask Salesman: Yeah, something like that.Lewa: No thanks, I have a magic ocarina that can do that.Happy Mask Salesman: Now let me teach you the dance of healing!*The moment he said those words, Natalie, Lewa and Tatl bolted for the door.*Happy Mask Salesman: Why does he keep doing that?*Outside of the Clock Tower.*Lewa: Why does he keep doing that?Natalie: I don't know. Why's he still on the streets? He's absolutely mental, I swear. Tatl: No kidding.Natalie: Why hasn't anyone called the Lunatic Response Unit yet? *laughs.*Lewa: Too bad I only have a remote and not a phone, then I could fast-call them to pick him up. Wait, how is it you're still-standing with us?Natalie: When you played that song back there, I guess it sort of just whisked me off with you and your fairy partner over there. *laughs* So what's wrong, am I unwanted baggage?Lewa: No, not that.Tatl: Let's go now.Lewa: Your brother said something... what was it?Tatl: I don't know, he was just saying something random about a swamp, mountain, ocean, and a bigger mountain.Natalie: I thought he was naming stuff from a bad movie. *laughs.*Tatl: So was I, but he's always saying stuff like that. Unless he was talking about the four major areas of Alma Nui.Lewa: So then why don't we check out this swamp.Natalie: Ugh... I have bad experiences with swamps. You go on ahead, I'll just stay in town and keep an eye on things for you, hmm?Lewa: Well... If you say so. Let's go, Navi!Tatl: It's Tatl!Lewa: Then you should have gone before we left!*And so with Natalie staying behind, Lewa and Tatl began to make their way for the swamp of Alma Nui, hoping to find signs of whatever Tael was trying to tell them before Remote's fit of rage. There was no telling what exactly awaited them or what Natalie meant by bad experiences. Never the less, the duo pressed on, although Lewa was starting to really get on Tatl's nerves, and that is not a very good thing to do.*

These MOCs are sort of old and I haven't really shared them with many. I know there's a few things that can be improved on them, but some parts I just need to obtain and I'm currently working on getting the parts I need.I'll start off with my variation of Von Ness. There's a few variations of him, some of which use a combination of painted parts and existing ones or just existing parts from sets. Mine is sort of like the former.Von NessAll right, so first off what I did was I used a duplicate of Stringer and Breez to make this guy. I also borrowed Von Nebula's arm spikes and mask to complete the look. Now, since Stringer only had one fist in black, I didn't really know what to do, and I didn't want to give him Breez's fists since it would look bad. So I gave him this gold one as a temporary place holder. Also, I know he uses a weapon similar to Surge's weapons, but since I didn't have Surge at my disposal I gave him a prototype weapon I made.Von Ness uses a torso design like Bulk, but since I wasn't going to go paint a Bulk torso (I'm not going to paint mine and it's impossible to find another one of him now), I gave him Stringer's torso, which is something I've seen other people do as well. Then I used Breez's limbs and head for the rest of him. Most people I've seen use Surge's limbs and few people actually use his head and hero core for him as well. I thought to make him have all-black armor like his villain counterpart, so I went with Breez. And as I mentioned, the mask and spikes are borrowed, so the MOC isn't truly permanent."No! I'm staying here!"A small size comparison with the original Stormer. Nothing really special about him, so he's the same size as a standard 1.0 hero.Caught and CuffedAnd for fun, here he is captured by Stormer and brought to justice... in our imaginations, that is. These hand cuffs were actually from an old toy set I had as a child, and this was before they brought out the Breakout line with the new hero cuffs.All right, now for Mr. Makuro, who I've only seen one other person do. There might be others, but I've seen only one as of the moment I'm posting this.Mr. MakuroFirst thing you'll probably note is the painted parts. I wasn't sure what you would call his colors, so I went with making it like a rusted gold. The paint is unfortunately chipping off in these pictures, so you can see the original colors of the pieces. When I first saw him, I thought his face looked familiar, and then I looked at my Kanohi collection and realized why. His face reminded me of a Noble Mahiki (Matau's mask). I had 3 of these in a tan color, so I sacrificed one to make it gold. He also uses a scrapped Turaga design I had, since I thought it wouldn't fit in with the new 2008 Matoran design. I still kept it in mind if in case I wanted to try it out again. His walking stick, I know, could have been done better, but at the moment I'm still searching for a black axle connector or possibly a longer axle to replace it with.Side viewAnd here he is from the side. From here, you can see some technic beams are used to add some depth to the body design. You can also see he's a little bit hunched over, sort of inspired by both the old Turaga designs from the movies and somewhat on his design from the actual series.There you go. Again, I know they aren't the best and I'm currently looking for ways to improve them. With Von Ness, one obvious solution is to just give him another black fist, but I'm working on that. For Mr. Makuro, I'm not entire sure what else to do aside from giving him another design.

11 years is a very long time, indeed and so much can happen. I can agree with that as everyone has said. And even thinking about my life 11 years ago, everything was just so different. To imagine it 11 years in the future, I can imagine things will change drastically.The life of BZPower could also change drastically within 11 years. With the end of the Bionicle toy line, there's no so much activity on here as there once was. No more lengthy and debated discussions on new sets, not too many more storyline theories (there's a few, I know, but in the old days there was a lot more), and essentially not too much discussion as there once was. I know there is still some, but not as much. I still remember the days the forums would go offline because of too many people being online at once.If somehow demand for Lego toys changes and persuades Lego to reboot Bionicle, thus reviving the need to fans to gather again and discuss and so on, then that changes everything. If not, then it is possible that perhaps BZP might become a general sort of Lego discussion forum where we can still talk about Bionicle, but at the same time perhaps talk about other themes and series going on at the time. I could see that happening, but again a lot can happen and it is uncertain. I'd kind of like to think the latter though, if Bionicle doesn't get some sort of revival. You never know, but it is still not easy to tell.

I do agree with the general consensus who say more colors like purple and teal. Voltix is on the way for more purple, but we still don't have teal. Also, I'm kind of wanting to see some of the old Piraka colors return. Remember the sand blue, sand green, etc secondary colors they had? Yeah, I liked those and I sort of wished they had more pieces like that. In fact, I'd like to see more options in color overall. There are pieces in silver, for example, that I think could look cooler in say red, mostly armor parts and weapons. Never the less, I would sort of like to see some expanded options in colors for future parts and sets as a whole.Also, something like the XT4 torso piece, except in "normal" size. I can't tell you how many times I want to add pieces to the back, but I can't due to there not being a way to connect it or because of the joint getting in the way, so if they made all future body pieces like that, it would allow for greater MOC versatility. Plus, there needs to be a way to add parts to the back so that no one can see how thin the figure is, and with a torso like that it'll be easy to add armor to the back.

There is no current teal color in Lego. The one from early Bionicle has long been discontinued. The closest we currently have are Medium and Dark Azure, one of which appears in Thornraxx (who debuts this summer in the U.S., having already shown up elsewhere in the winter wave).

Which is kind of why I say we need to have more colors like that. I know Thornraxx is supposed to have like this teal-type color of Dark/Medium Azure as you said for the bone pieces, but never the less that is why I say it needs to be expanded on to use more like it on other pieces, possibly on armor to add more variety.

All right, this next chapter is actually chapters 2 and 3 together. I never realized how short these were, compared to the new DOT chapters. So it might not take 23 chapters to finish the story. If anything I might double up on certain chapters to speed things along. So here are chapters 2 and 3 combined.*Lewa stepped out from the giant clockwork mechanisms of the... clock tower thing and escaped from that demented mask salesman.*Lewa: That guy was a freak.Tatl: Yeah, but for now let's just try and forget about him and concentrate on trying to find Remote and my brother.Lewa: Okay, sure-fine.Tatl: What time is it anyway? It looks like morning...*Lewa looked around, observing a bunch of the people in town, some of which oddly looked like people he recognized from his past journey 6 months ago. He then looked up at the sky and he stared at them... moon?*Lewa: Hmm... judging by the position of the sun... I'd say it's high noon.Tatl: Okay, at least that's been settled, so let's go ahead and find him now.Lewa: Yeah, so he can change me back to a Toa-hero, the way I'm supposed to be!*So Lewa and Tatl began to look through the town and ask around if anyone had even seen the strange puppet and his fairy companion.*Lewa: Hey, you!Jaller; What if it snowed in San Francisco?Lewa: I don't care, where's the puppet?Jaller: Like, where's anything, man? Are we all not just random atoms gathered up in a certain spot at one time?Lewa: Uh... Shut up!*Lewa ran from the beatnik that was Toa Jaller and kept moving through the town. So far he wasn't having a whole lot of luck.*Lewa: I might as well just sit by this flower and give up.Business Scrub: Hold on there, Jethro! *Out of no where, a business scrub flies in and lands in the flower and then he pops back out and puts on a fez.*Lewa: Who are you supposed to be?Business Scrub: I be a business man, my fine sir. Funny running into another fellow Deku Scrub amongst these parts.Lewa: Oh... okay.Business Scrub: It's nothing much, but anything to help me stay away from my wife.Lewa: Deku scrubs can get married?Business Scrub: Yeah, you haven't heard? But anyway, she's on my case because our anniversary is coming up and she wants something called a Moon's Tear, but I don't know where you get that, but she keeps nagging me. Do you know what I mean?Lewa: Yeah... my fairy-partner over here does that to me a lot.Tatl: What are you talking about, I just met you!Lewa: Silly Navi, acting like she doesn't remember.*Tatl groans.*Business Scrub: Can you do me a favor, my fine sir? If you just so happen to see one of these particular stones, would you oblige to give it to me?Lewa: Okay, you poor Mr. Haney rip off. I'll keep that in long-thought.*After leaving the Business Scrub who was stroking his leafy mustache, he went on some more and found some kid trying to pop a magic ballon.*Lewa: Hey, kid!Bombers' Leader: What do you want? I don't talk to Deku Scrubs. *He then went back to trying to pop the balloon.*Lewa: Okay, have it your way.*Lewa then looked at the balloon and tapped into his... Deku Scrub powers... if you call them that. He aimed his head at the balloon and fired a bubble from his nose, popping the balloon.*Lewa: That'll get his attention!Tatl: Did you just fire the balloon with you...? Oh, I don't want to know.Bombers' Leader: Hey, did you just pop that balloon with your snot?Lewa: Uh...Bombers' Leader: That's so cool! Hey, guys, check this out!*The rest of the Bombers come along.*Bombers' Leader: Should we let this guy in?Bombers' 3: No way.Lewa: I don't wanna be a part of your kid-gang, I just want to find Remote!Bombers' Leader: Then why don't you ask that guy in the observatory, that guy knows everything.Lewa: Worth a shot.*Taking the advice of the Bombers Gang, Lewa went into the sewers to go find the guy in the observatory.*Lewa: I hate underground.Tatl: Get over it.Lewa: I don't want to, especially after all the other stuff I had to do underground! I miss MC Hammer...Tatl: I'm not even going to bother asking, just keep going until we find this guy and ask him what we want to know!*So after going through the sewer, fighting off the spiders, and popping an Elitha balloon (oops, spoilers), and then he climbed up a ladder where he found a place that looks like it came from the 1970's.*Lewa: This place is trippy...Scarecrow: Hey, there, baby!Lewa: Aah, talking scarecrow!Scarecrow: Let's dance!Lewa: Aah! That's much worse! *Lewa ran up the winding staircase and he found some crazy old man looking through a telescope.*Tatl: Think that's him?Lewa: Let's go ask. Hey, creepy-guy, where's Remote hiding?The Professor, wheezy voice: My boy, whenever I came to doubt or wanted to know something, I always just look through the telescope for answers. It knows everything.Lewa: Okay. Can I look?The Professor: Well, of course you can.*So Lewa looked into the telescope and he saw a variety of things... some of which I can't say out loud, others that were just plain weird. But the weirdest thing of all was when he spotted Remote atop the clock tower. He looked up at the moon, which shot a tear from its eye. Maybe it's a sad little moon that needs some tender love and care. Lewa looked back at Remote, who turned around and started shaking his behind at him.*Music: Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, shake.Happy Mask Salesman: Shake your whole self. Shake your whole self.Lewa: Aah! Happy Mask Salesman!*Lewa ran out the door to escape from the nutjob looming over his shoulder and tripped on the Moon's Tear.*Lewa: Hey, didn't that wood guy with the mustache want this? *Lewa took it with him as we went back inside to go back to... wherever he was before. Maybe he should have asked where he was?*The Professor: Well, my boy, this would be the island of Alma Nui... You are in the island's main city of Clock Town.Lewa: Clook Town?The Professor: No, it's "Clock Town."Lewa: You say whatever, I call it Clook town.*Unfortunately for Lewa, there wasn't a whole lot he could do. See, the top of the clock tower wasn't really accessable until two more days at midnight, which was ironically when the Happy Mask Salesman said he'd have to leave, and ironic because of something else that is going to happen that I won't say aloud. If Lewa had his old Toa body, he could just fly on up there and challenge Remote, but he couldn't so there was no use.*Lewa: So now what do we do?Tatl: At least we know where he is. I almost doubt he'll be doing much of anything up there.Lewa: Except shaking his rear end at people...Tatl: Get over it, that was an hour ago.Lewa: But it disturbed me, and it got even worse when that creepy mask guy popped up over my shoulder. And that scarecrow!Tatl: Come on. Don't be a wimp.Lewa: I am!Tatl: Then you're just a big baby.*This gets sort of boring, so I'm just going to "fast forward" their argument until the end... two days later!*Lewa: And that is why Carrie Underwood will be better than Taylor Swift.Tatl: Wow... you definite convinced me.*The doors to the clock tower start to open up at that exact moment, and the clock strikes midnight as well.*Lewa: All right, perfect-time!*Meanwhile, up at the clock tower, Remote still wearing the creepy mask, was floating above the platform, tossing and catching the Ocarina of Time in his hand like a coin.*Remote 2.0: I hope some foolish mortals come around to challenge my unbeatable power soon. I've also spent the last two days working on my insults and snappy comebacks.Lewa: Hey, puppet boy, prepare to face the Hero of Time!Tael: Why don't you hit him with a snappy comeback? Now's your chance.Remote 2.0, strikes Tael: I know that, you fool! You take me as an ametuer?Tatl: Hey! Don't hit my brother! Do you really think you're our friend after that?Remote 2.0: Well, whatever. So, you think you're the hero of time? I've got news for you: You're not.Lewa: Ah, Antroz tried that on me already, and it didn't work.Remote 2.0: So it seems. Well, then...[pause]Announcer: If you want Remote to say "Someone should put you in a box," please comment on this chapter. If you want him to say "I'm going to turn this place topsy turvy and all kinds of curvy," please comment on this chapter. Or if you want Tatl to break into song and dance around like Katy Perry, you should go out more, then come back and comment on this chapter. Voting begins now.Announcer: Time's up, the votes are in.[un-pause]Remote 2.0: ... To that, I say--Tatl: Phew... Suddenly I have the powerful urge to dance to some music!Lewa: You might have defeated me before, that won't happen a second time!Remote 2.0: And why is that, pray tell?Lewa: Because I've got Navi by my side.Tatl: It's Tatl!Lewa: Oh, bless you.Remote 2.0, snickers: That's it? Your big rescue is a fairy? Hah hah hah hah hah! Oh, that is rich!Lewa: What are you so laugh-hardy about? It's more than you have.Remote 2.0: Really? Look up.Lewa: Okay, but I see not point in-- O_O Holy Karzahni's back hair! The moon! It has a face on it! And it looks SO SAD... Maybe all it needs is some tender love and care...Remote 2.0: Stop being a dimwit and pay attention to me when I'm talking. After all, I've got the moon on my side.Lewa: Okay, so big whoop. The moon has a scowl-face on it now. You going to give it a pretty-bonnet and dress, too? What're you going to do after that, drop it on us?Remote 2.0: Actually, that last thing you said is correct.Lewa: Oh...Tatl: This doesn't look good.Lewa: If only I had some sort of clue he was messing with the moon earlier!*Why don't you think back to when you first got here, or check your pocket for that Moon's Tear? That might have been some sort of help.*Remote 2.0: Enough of this foolishness, prepare to be crushed.Tatl: Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends?Remote 2.0: I'm sorry, you're right. Maybe I am taking this a little too far. Maybe I should give up my mad plans of crushing the town, change your friend back, and return this mask back.Lewa: Surprise bubble attack! *Lewa fired a bubble at him, causing him to fall back and drop the Ocarina of Time.*Remote 2.0: My goodness, that is nasty... I'm going to kill you! All right, Luna, crush them!*Remote throws back his head, lifts his arms, and emits a powerful high-pitched scream. The moment he does, the moon starts to draw closer and closer to the town, almost about to touch the clock tower you could say.*Tatl, groans: Why did you do that?*Lewa runs over and grabs the ocarina.*Lewa: I got it!Tatl: Could you stop standing there like a moron? In case you haven't noticed, we're going to be crushed to death! If we're going to survive this, we need to make every second count... oh, who am I kidding?! Help us! Someone! Anyone! We need more time!Preston Stormer: Did someone call for help?Tatl: Not from you six.Natalie Breez: Aww! Why doesn't anyone like us?!Natalie Horler: Get back over here, you! *She makes a mad grab at Breez, pulling her back.*

I do agree with the general consensus who say more colors like purple and teal. Voltix is on the way for more purple, but we still don't have teal. Also, I'm kind of wanting to see some of the old Piraka colors return. Remember the sand blue, sand green, etc secondary colors they had? Yeah, I liked those and I sort of wished they had more pieces like that. In fact, I'd like to see more options in color overall. There are pieces in silver, for example, that I think could look cooler in say red, mostly armor parts and weapons. Never the less, I would sort of like to see some expanded options in colors for future parts and sets as a whole. Also, something like the XT4 torso piece, except in "normal" size. I can't tell you how many times I want to add pieces to the back, but I can't due to there not being a way to connect it or because of the joint getting in the way, so if they made all future body pieces like that, it would allow for greater MOC versatility. Plus, there needs to be a way to add parts to the back so that no one can see how thin the figure is, and with a torso like that it'll be easy to add armor to the back.

My favorite... To this day, I still really like the Inika canisters. The first time I saw one and got one, I was just amazed at the size and how awesome it was that the weapon and zamor spheres were there. They weren't awesome of course when you had the possibility of someone who "tried" the light up feature too much. The original Toa Mata Canisters were also very cool. While I've lost most of them, I still have Tahu's canister. I remember first time I saw one of them, I liked the look of them and how you could slide the label thing around and you got to see a glimpse at the story, the gear function, the mask codes, etc.I like how the canisters from the old days used to play a part in the story, like the Toa canisters were supposed to be the ones they arrived in, the Bohrok ones were where they slept, the Rahkshi ones were where like those tubes where Makuta had them, and so on. Too bad that sort of stopped after 2006 or so.My least favorites would probably be the Phantok and Mistika. The Mistika because they were nearly impossible to open. I almost hit something because of the knock-back from the first time I opened Gorast. The Phantoka because I didn't like how the colored plastic part didn't stay all that well, especially after the tape keeping it in place would wear off. The colored plastic part looked cool, though.

My second adaptive Hau nuva is gone (although I had an idea what happened to it and it saddens me ). I also lost the boulder that the original Pohatu had. I don't know what happened to it. I also lost the Krana-Kal for Lehvak-Kal for a while... but then I somehow found it.The disks for the McDonald's Matoran are also missing. I have a spare Jaller, but I'm not going to take that disk for the other one, so I keep the pieces for him together. I'm weird, I know. Come to think of it, I've lost mostly disks and Rhotuka parts. I lost the green Rhotuka for Toa Iruini, but while I had a second one of him and took that one, I still have yet to ever find the lost one. It's so weird, but I don't know what happened to it.

I see what you're saying, and true, you can't beat the y-joint piece (or "hip joint" as other fans called it in the old days), since they were originally used as hands in the older days of Bionicle. These new hands do add a but of realism to sets, but you're sort of limited on parts and weapons, depending on how you use them. Some parts like Pridak's shark tooth blades can't fit since they were made with the y-joint piece in mind.I do like the y-joint piece better in some bases, although again, it depends on the set and how I use it. In the case of Bionicle sets and MOCs, I'd prefer the y-joint/hip joint parts instead.

Last one I bought was Ackar in 2010 before the other sets like... disappeared.

The follow-up to The Dimwit of Time, here is the sequel based on Majora's Mask, promptly named The Moron's Mask. This picks up 6 months after the end of The Dimwit of Time and follows Lewa as he goes off to try and find Navi, and instead he finds a demented toy who wants to bring destruction with the help of the Kanohi Elitha, the Mask of Death.The story was written 2 years ago in 2010 and was originally suggested to BZPower back then as well, but I discontinued it after the first chapter and continued to write it elsewhere. As such, while I have gone and updated parts of the story, there are still some old, dated jokes and references that remain. Also, for those who are familiar with me from 2006-2010, don't worry, she won't be in the story as much. Those days are over for me now. However, she still does play a part in the story. Anyways, onto the first, slightly modified chapter.In the land of Metru Nui, the people speak about a legend... A legened about a crazy Toa of Air with a sword and fairy who saved Metru Nui. Together, they faced many hardships, like Vahki guards, a creepy talking bird, a burnt yelling guy, and so on. They traveled a great distance from the city to the desert and back. After defeating a great evil, they were seperated as the fairy could no longer take the lunacy of the Toa. This left him confused and wanting to find her.Now in search of his lost friend, the legend continues...Bionicle: The Moron's Mask*It had been about 6 months after Toa Lewa triumphed over the evil Antroz, rescuing Nokama and saving Metru Nui... or so he thought, anyway. He and Nokama uneasily became friends and she helped him get ready for his search for Navi, very eager to get him out. She enlisted the help of some of her best knights... one of which had a dark secret that no one would ever know for a long time.*Lewa: What're ya going to do?Tahu: I don't know why I have to listen to Gali.Lewa: Her name is Nokama.Tahu: Whatever. "You have to go get him out, he's going on a journey!" I tell you. I got most of your stuff. I got that shield of yours that oddly looks like it belongs to the hard-working Iruini. I also got your skyblaster and your bow and arrows and bombs and stuff like that. And I kept your Air Sabre for you, so you're all set up.Lewa: Thank you, fellow hero! Now I'm off to search-find Navi!Tahu: I don't know what a Navi is, but okay, I guess whatever makes you happy. I'm going to go home now and wonder about why it never snows in San Francisco.*Because he never got Epona in this timeline, Lewa was walking through the tangled mess that was the chute system of Metru Nui. As he walked on, he was suddenly tripped by a strange figure who looked like a mere puppet. As he closed in on Lewa, it was seen that he was wearing some sort of evil, immoral mask, like one only a Makuta would wear. Even then, this was a mask even the Brotherhood of Makuta considered to be evil and dangerous for them due to the legends and experiences that surrounded it. When the evil masked puppet spoke, his voice sounded like it came from the throat of someone who enjoyed pain...*Remote 2.0, Dr. Claw voice: Heh heh heh heh... I'm so evil, evil is so fun. And what is this?*Accompanied by two fairies, the evil puppet went to inspect the body of the unconscious Toa.*Remote 2.0: Oh, look, a dead body. *He kicked Lewa over on his side and inspected him.* Now time to rob him and leave him in a stupid pose. Heh heh heh... Oh, look, and ocarina.*The puppet took the ocarina and plays a few notes.*Tael: Dang, man, we got the jackpot! Let me see.Remote 2.0: Okay, have it your way.Tatl: Wait, this isn't Burger King!Remote: 2.0: Who said anything about Burger King? Heh heh heh!Lewa, getting up: Oh, man, I hurt my head... *The Toa looked over and saw the strange freak playing his ocarina.* Hey you. Who are you?Remote 2.0, hiding ocarina: That is none of your concern. Now go back to being dead like a good little boy.Lewa: No!Remote 2.0: That wasn't a request, that was an order. Now let me go go about my business in peace.Lewa: But that's my ocarina! Give it back.Remote 2.0: How about I make you a trade... I keep your ocarina and you... fall down this hole!!Lewa: That's not a fair-trade!Remote 2.0: It is to me...*The robot kicks Lewa down into a rabbit hole and his mind is seduced with subliminal messages, mostly concerning buying Oxyclean and Orange-Glo. Finally, he landed on top of a large flower. Ae he got up, he stood face-to-face with the evil thief, who held a remote in has hands like it was some weapon.*Lewa: Good thing this flower was here, that long-fall could have been serious.Remote 2.0: Indeed...Lewa: Oh, it's you. Give me my ocarina!Remote 2.0: No. I think I'll just keep it for myself. I'll pawn it off for some money or something.Lewa: Look-see... You don't want to get on my bad side... I'm the Hero of Time! I defeated Antroz and I saved the princess!Remote 2.0: Oh, please, that doesn't frighten me. Unlike Antroz, I am actually evil.Lewa: Oh, like that's going to scare me?Remote 2.0: I cancelled and closed most of ShadowBionics' BZPower comedies!Lewa: Monster! Now I'm really going to kill-handle you!Remote 2.0: I think not. You see, this remote gives me some incredible power. This mask contains great and powerful dark magic as well. In fact, all I have to do is utter the cursed words, and you will be completely powerless.Lewa: What cursed words?Remote 2.0: Burning Deoderant!*At that moment, a violent sensation overcame Lewa's body, and he fell to the ground. Then in his mind, he found himself surrounded by many Deku Scrubs, all laughing at him.**In Lewa's mind*Deku Scrubs, chanitng: One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us!Lewa: Get away from me! *The Toa ran for his life, forgetting that he could fly, from the Deku Scrubs, who just multiplied and overcame him in a giant mosh.*Deku Scrubs, chanting louder: One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us!*Lewa snapped out of his vision and when he looked in the reflection and saw who he was (lol, Christina Aguilera reference), he got the surprise of his life.*Lewa: Mata Nui's pointy shoulders...! You turned me into a plant thing!*Indeed he was, but more specifically he was actually more of a Deku scrub with that wooden body and that long trumpet-like nose. We all know he's a Deku Scrub, but he doesn't seem to realize that quite yet. Not until it kind of hits him later on, but what am I saying, really? Let's all go back and enjoy the story.*Remote 2.0, demonic laughter: Now you'll never be as cool as me with that silly appearance! *As the weirdo-turned-dark lord floated away with Tael, Tatl stayed along to start beating up on poor Lewa.*Tael: Darn it, hurry up over there!*Before Tatl could stop beating him up, the door closed between the two fairy siblings. Tatl flew to the door, trying to open it, but her body was too small and frail to do so. She then went back to Lewa.*Tatl: Hey, you!Lewa: All right! I finally found you, Navi!Tatl: Uh... what's a Navi? Some sort of yogurt?Lewa: That's your name... You. Don't you remember?Tatl: If I was this Navi friend of yours, would I have jsut beaten you up a minute ago?Lewa: Yeah. You did that a lot to me, especially when I was in the middle of something, if you were trying to stop me from doing something, you wanted me to do something, or if you were bored.Tatl: Listen you wooden freak, I'm not this Navi! I'm Tatl, and I need you to help me catch up with Remote and my brother Tael.Lewa: Oh, Navi, you're so crazy.Tatl: *groans.*Lewa: You think your name's Tatl?Tatl: I don't think, I KNOW it is.Lewa: And your brother's name is Tael?Tatl: Yes.Lewa: If you put those together, you get--Tatl: Yes, I know that...Lewa: Tael-Tatl. *stupid laugh.*Tatl, groans: Something tells me this is going to be a really long day...*So the fairy and her new grass-Toa companion set off through the underwoods... lolz, Underwood. Like Carrie. Underwood. Okay, I'll shut up now.*Tatl: Come on, Lewa, I see a door up ahead!Lewa: Great! Now I can kill-handle that Remote guy for turning me into a grass Pokemon!*As Lewa opens the door and steps inside, they go into what looks like a creepy clockwork tower.*Tatl: I've wanted to ask you about that. You changed species, but your voice sounds the same. Sounds like lazy writing on behalf of the writer.Happy Mask Saleman, Scottish accent: Aye. That is a lazy bit of writing indeed.Lewa: What the Makuta?! Who are you?!Happy Mask Salesman: Oh, me? I be the Happy Mask Salesman. I sell happy masks. I also sell EVIL MASKS! Masks from the darkest depths of Karzahni! The kinds of masks that could enslave all Matoran kind and demand massive sacrifices and then watch Finding Nemo and laugh at the bit where his mum dies! But other than that, they're mostly happy. I've got an Al Pacino mask on may backpack, and that makes everyone happy.*That's when the creepy salesman goes into his crazy instant-changing poses.*Happy Mask Salesman: I was wondering if you could do me a favor. You see, I have to leave here in 3 days and one of my cursed masks got stolen by a weird Robot with targets painted on his cheeks and a messy blond wig.Lewa: Robot with messy blond wig? I've seen that guy!Happy Mask Salesman: Yes, him. I thought maybe you could get it back for me, you know?Lewa: Sure, I guess.Happy Mask Salesman: That's great. You know, people say if you carry a cursed mask for too long ,you go crazy. But I've been doing it for years, and I'm not crazy. *He then grabs Lewa and starts berattling him.* I mean, DO I LOOK CRAZY TO YOU?!Lewa: Would you let me go?!*The weirdo lets go of him and goes into another instantly-changing pose.*Happy Mask Salesman: Not yet. First, I must teach you the Song of Healing...Lewa; Oh... no... what's he gonig to do?!*That's when the freak starts to get his groove on to the music of KC and the Sunshine Band. He puts his hands on his face and starts flailing his head.*Music: Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, shake.Happy Mask Salesman: Shake your whole self. Shake your whole self!*He then makes a frowning face and starts bending back and forth a bunch of times.*Music: Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, shake.*Lewa and Tatl, scared out of their minds, take advantage of the moment and head for the doors.*Happy Mask Salesman: Oh... he's gone now. But I'm sure the rest of you will stay here and listen to the rest of the song, right?To be continued...Happy Mask Salesman: Okay, fine, then you all can fall down a hole.

Well, new chapters are up! I liked the Spirit Temple ones a lot, they were quite funny especially with Shredder and the part where Navi points out that Twinrova's age must have doubled too (so I assume they died of old age?) The Ganon's Tower chapter, though, was a little bit lacking, though still good. Lewa and Nokama's relationship seems to have randomly changed from the beginning, though maybe that's because they are now a whole week older. The most recent chapter followed the dialogue of the games a lot more closely than the others, and as such was a bit more serious and less funny. Though the stair joke was great! I guess it's a bit pointless to give out constructive criticism since you already have all of these chapters pre-written before posting, but eh. Keep it up and I'm looking forward to Moron's Mask and the finale of this one! Lewa0111 Nuva

Yes, they do die of old age because both of their ages are combined into one. The Ganon's Tower chapters are where the story slows down and sets the tone for The Moron's Mask. Likewise (spoilers) the last chapter of The Moron's Mask sets the tone for Twilight Delinquent. I'm trying to stay true to the original story, yet I'm putting my own spin on them, so that's why some of the dialogue is similar to the game. Well, it's not too pointless, seeing as I could always improve. This version of The Dimwit of Time was completed 2 weeks ago, but the first 23 chapters of The Moron's Mask however, were written 2 years ago. I've done my best to update them, but some of the dated references and jokes still remain since I didn't know how else to do them.

 

*Lewa, Navi, and Nokama just escaped from Antroz's collapsing tower/castle/whatever it was. Just when they thought everything was all right, they heard a sound from the ruins. Lewa slowly walks over, only to see Antroz's shattered form break free from the tower's remains, gasping for breath and his eyes glowing a bright crimson. The Triforce of Power glows on his hands and without having to absorb any power, he begins to shapeshift into a much larger and frightening form. Taking from his red armor and dragon-like Kanohi Jutlin, Antroz became more dragon-like in appearance. Standing on two legs and wielding two large swords, Antroz swipes at Lewa, who tries to defend himself with the Master Sword, knocking the sword out of his hands and sending it a few feet away from Nokama, who stood by watching in horror. She looked back over to see that Antroz completely blocked her out by encircling the area with him and Lewa in fire, trapping them in a dome of inferno.*

 

Navi: There's no way I'm going to let him hold me back this time. We fight as one.

 

Lewa: Yeah… but with what?

 

*Lewa stares at the mutated Antroz, who stared angrily back at him. Lewa backed away and fired a light arrow at him, blinding him as he ran behind him. Lewa then noticed the glowing tip of his tail. Taking a chance, Lewa took the MC Hammer and wailed on it. Sure enough, Antroz took some damage and let out a loud roar in pain. Lewa was able to repeat this strategy for a few more times, temporarily halting Antroz and forcing him to bring down the encircling fire to regain his strength.*

 

Nokama: Lewa, the Master Sword is over here!

 

*Lewa quickly raced over and took the Master Sword in hand, and then he went back over to Antroz, who recovered and regained some of his strength. Seeing Lewa, he trapped them in the inferno once more and Lewa repeated his tactic, this time however using the Master Sword to attack his weak point. Once Antroz was down and the inferno was gone, Nokama somehow used her sage powers (don't ask me how that works) to temporarily trap Antroz.*

 

Nokama: Strike while I hold back this evil guy!

 

*Lewa looked at his newly powered up Master Sword. He went over and looked at Antroz, who had a glint of fear, yet anger, in his eyes. Lewa wasted no time and slashed at Antroz's head, cutting away part of his mask, and then impaling his head with the Master Sword. Antroz yowled in pain, as it was unbearable and enough to kill a normal being.*

 

Nokama: Six sages, now!

 

*From within the Chamber of the Sages, Lhikan heard Nokama's plea and gathered the other sages to strike.*

 

Lhikan: Ancient creators of this world... Now! Open the sealed door and send this Evil Incarnation of Darkness into the void of the evil realm!

 

*With that, all six of the sages used their powers to open the door and then plunge Antroz into the void of the Evil Realm.*

 

Antroz: You... Curse you, Sages... Curse you, LEEEEEEEEWAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Someday when this seal is broken... That is when I will exterminate your decedents...! As long as the Triforce of Power is in my hand... Wait, where am I anyway?

 

Tuyet: With me, sugar.

 

Antroz: O_O NOOOOOO!!!!

 

*With Antroz defeated (for now), everything could now be set right. Nokama and Lewa looked out into the distance at Metru Nui.*

 

Nokama: Thank you, Lewa. With Antroz defeated, peace will reign in Metru Nui… for now.

 

Lewa: What are you implying?

 

Nokama: Well, if you're accusing me of saying that Antroz is going to break out of the Evil Realm and force the goddesses to flood all of our world, that's totally not what I'm saying.

 

Lewa: Okay, as long as you're not lying to me.

 

Nokama: I was so young and foolish to think I could control the Sacred Realm…

 

Lewa: It was just a week ago.

 

Nokama: Shut up, I'm having a moment here! And I dragged you into it as well… but as a sage, I can return you back to your own time. First, though, you must lay the Master Sword to rest, thereby closing the gate of time.

 

Lewa: You mean I'll never be able to time travel again?

 

Nokama: No.

 

Lewa: And why can't I stay here?

 

Nokama: Because you must go back and regain your lost time.

 

Lewa: It was just a week! You act as though it's been years!

 

*Nokama snatches the Ocarina of Time from Lewa.*

 

Nokama: Shut up and go regain your lost time!

 

Lewa: Why are you in freak mode?

 

Nokama: Thank you, and good bye.

 

*Nokama plays her lullaby song on the Ocarina, and Lewa is whisked away from this land of Metru Nui, taken back to a Metru Nui from a week ago where Antroz never got the Triforce and he never conquered anything.*

 

*And as for everyone back in Metru Nui... well...*

 

Music: Anyway you want it, that's the way I mean it, anyway I want it! *insert guitar riff.*

 

*Yeah, bascially everyone was throwing a giant party to the music of Journey and having a good time. We have Mario and Luigi-- I mean Norik and Iruini getting drunk off of milk for one thing. Not everyone was happy, however…*

 

Mido: Darn it, Hahli is gone and now I'm all alone.

 

Krulloc: Get in line, pal, you're not the only one who's lost someone important.

 

*But high above the party were six shooting stars, and they weren't six spirit stars, these were the sages... heading right for Onu-Metru. A green and blue spirit star shone on Mido and Krulloc just as they shot past them.*

 

Kiina: Hey, do you know where you're going?

 

Whenua: Trust me, water lady, we Archivists know everything!

 

*That's when the six sages join up on top of Onu-Metru, overlooking the party.*

 

Roodaka: Hey, this isn't where the party is!

 

Whenua: Nonsense, all parties are in Onu-Metru! Party party party! Party party party!

 

Lariska: You ought to be stopping that now.

 

Hahli: Your singing hurts my ears!

 

*Meanwhile, with Lewa, he ended up back to "regain his lost time," as Nokama put it. However in doing so, she also just created an alternate universe parallel to the one Lewa had just left.*

 

Lewa: So now what do I do?

 

Navi: I don't know. But now that you're finished with your journey, I have to leave you now.

 

Lewa: What? Navi! Not you, too! Why does everything I love-cherish have to leave me?!

 

*As Lewa tried to stop her, Navi flew away and right through the lone closed window in the Temple of Time. Without really anything left, Lewa wasn't sure what else to do now, especially since Navi was the one who knew what to do in times like this. So what he did instead was get past the Vahki guards as he had done so before and it was there at the Coliseum he met once again with Princess Nokama.*

*Lewa flew as fast as he could to the Coliseum. He finished awakening the rest of the sages and now he was ready. He was going to return Iruini's shield to him, but he forgot about it and continued going forward. Just as before, Antroz's castle was surrounded by lava and looking as intimidating as ever.*

Navi: Okay, we're here, so now what do we do?

Lhikan: Lewa, can you hear me? It's me... Mata Nui.

Navi: You're not Mata nui, he sounds like Worf!

Lhikan: Okay, fine, it's me, Lhikan. We six will gather our power to build you the magic bridge so you can get across there so you may confront Antroz.

*Right before Lewa's eyes, sparklies flew all around and then in a brilliant flash, there was a magical rainbow bridge going from where he was all the way to the Coliseum. Lewa, afraid, tapped his foot to see if it would support his weight, and thankfully it did.*

Lewa: Okay, I guess the magic bridge works. Look out, Antroz….

*Meanwhile inside of Antroz's castle, Nokama was suspended in midair in her rupee prison while Antroz played music on the organ.*

Nokama: When did you learn to play the organ anyway?

Antroz: I've been waiting a week, I've had time. Now, silence while I play!

*Antroz begins to play "If you're happy and you know it" on the organ.*

Nokama: Do you know anything else?

Antroz: Have any requests? I'm not sure how long it'll take Lewa to get up here.

*Somewhere downstairs…*

Lewa: Just go up this staircase…

*Lewa goes past the door to find another staircase.*

Lewa: Wait, another staircase? What kind of nutjob puts two winding staircases together?

Navi: Antroz is one wacky nutjob in his own right. D'oh, it doesn't matter now, just keep going!

Lewa: Okay, but I hope there's not another staircase past this one.

*Lewa goes past the door and turns out there IS another staircase.*

Lewa: Are you kidding me?!

*Back with Antroz…*

Antroz, singing to music: You better wake up, wake up, the party's gonna take off, we're living for a Saturday night--

Nokama: Um, can you sing something else?

Antroz: No! You didn't give me a specific song request, so I'm going to sing and play whatever I want!

Nokama: Oh… Lewa, wherever you are, I hope you hurry!

*Downstairs still…*

Lewa, panting: Okay, eight flights of stairs… I hope this next one is…

*Lewa goes past the door and finds still yet ANOTHER staircase.*

Lewa, angry: Come on!

*Back with Nokama and Antroz…*

Antroz, singing/playing: Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, so here's my number. So call me maybe?

Nokama: Stop it! I hate that song so much!!

Antroz: Would you prefer if I played "Friday?"

Nokama: Oh, dear, no!

*Meanwhile, downstairs… Lewa is crawling up the stairs, panting and tired.*

Lewa: Nineteen flights of stairs…

Navi: Lewa, wait, can't you fly?

*Lewa stopped, looked at his jets, hit his face with his palm, let out an angry yell, and started to rocket up the stairs, passing through the other staircases until he reaches staircase number 64.*

Lewa: All right, that's it! Antroz is going down for putting so many staircases in this place!

Navi: And for taking over Metru Nui?

Lewa: That, too!

*Lewa breaks down the door, interrupting Antroz's music. The moment the three of them are in the same room, all three Triforce pieces on the backs of their hands start glowing.*

Antroz: The Triforce pieces are resonating. They are about to be one again. I will be able to have what I once briefly had seven days ago. These toys are too much for you, I demand you return them to me at once!

*Antroz faces Lewa and unleashes a powerful wave of darkness at him.*

Navi: He's too powerful, I can't get near him.

Lewa: It doesn't matter… this is between me and him.

*Lewa jumps to the other side of the room. At that moment, Antroz uses a seismic punch to break apart some of the floor. After that, he begins to hover in the air and laugh in a demented manner.*

*After getting that out of his system, Antroz powers up an attack similar to that of Bantroz's energy attack, and fires it at Lewa, who hits it back at him with his sword. Antroz hits it back with his fang blades, Lewa hits it with his sword and they repeat it until Antroz misses and gets stunned. Lewa fires a light arrow to take him down, brining Antroz to the ground. Lewa jumps over and attacks him a few times, refusing to let him get back up again until Antroz brushes him off and returns to the air.*

*Antroz does another seismic punch to destroy more of the floor, making it Lewa could fall down all 64 flights of stairs if he were to slip. This time, Antroz powers up a different move, which he fires at Lewa as it separates into six different beams of energy, all of which Lewa hit back at Antroz with a spin attack from his sword. Antroz staggered, Lewa fires a light arrow, stunning him once more and prompting Lewa to attack him once more until Antroz can't take anymore.*

Antroz, gasping for breath: Unbelievable… how could I have been beaten by you? I'm… Makuta Antroz!

*Antroz coughs and out of anger, unleashes another wave of darkness attack that shatters all of the windows and even the roof of the tower. Then, out of exhaustion, Antroz collapses. With his power defeated, Nokama is gently lowered to what's left of the ground and her prison shattered. She looks back over at Antroz's collapsed form.*

Nokama: Antroz, pitiful man. Without a strong will and a working brain, he couldn't control the Triforce of Power.

*Nokama was interrupted when the whole tower begins to rumble.*

Lewa: What's going on now?!

Nokama: Lewa, listen to me. With the last of his strength, Antroz is trying to crush us underneath this tower! We have to get out of here!

*Lewa fires up his jets and prompts Nokama to get in his arms to carry her away. She does so (blushing while doing so) and they all fly away safely, just in time to watch all 64 stories of Antroz's tower fall to the ground.*

Nokama: Well, it's all finally over.

Lewa: Yup, it sure is.

Navi: Sorry I wasn't able to do anything in the battle back there.

Lewa: Don't worry, Navi. You almost never did anything for me in the other battles.

*There was a loud rumble sound amongst the broken debris of the tower.*

Nokama: What was that?

Lewa: I guess it's up to me to go see.

*Sometime after Roodaka was captured, Lewa traveled to the future once more and made his way back into the temple. So far, there was no sign of the evil witches. He went up the stairs back to the two entrances for earlier before. Sure enough, the steel plate was still at the other entrance.*

Lewa: Well, let's see if these silver gauntlets were worth all the work.

*He went to the other one with the stone slab in the way. He rubbed his hands together and he began to push with all his might, and the stone slab began to move very easily, as if it weighed like styrofoam.*

Navi: Okay, that was easy. Now let's get through this temple and defeat those witches so we can get out of here.

*Lewa nodded as he fought his way through the monsters and the vampire bats that were on fire. In a matter of moments, he obtained the mirror shield. He wasn't too sure what to do with Iruini's shield, so he just put it away for safe keeping.*

Navi: Maybe you can go ahead and return it to Iruini when you're done.

Lewa: Yeah… unless I can't find him or if I forget.

*After that, he continued his way to the boss chamber, which was taking him a while to get to. But in due time, he finally got there and stepped through the door, and so far it looked very identical to the one he was in earlier. That is, except for the two witches who stood huddled around a suit of armor.*

Kotake: Looks like someone is here, Koume. It's some hoodlum, breaking into our house.

Koume: Looks like it, Kotake. He must be here to rob us.

Kotake: Look, he's got a knife!

Lewa: What? It's a sword!

Koume: What and outrageous fellow, thinking he can break in with a knife and a mirror.

Kotake: We should teach this outrageous fellow a lesson! I bet he's in one of those gangs that break into people's houses, beat them up, and rob them!

Lewa: No, I'm not! And this is a sword!

Koume: Quick, Shredder, throw this hooligan out of here!

*The witches disappear and then Shredder got up from his chair, ready to attack Lewa with... nothing. He didn't have an axe with him. He snapped his fingers and made one appear out of nowhere. He then shook his axe and rattled his armor... something just wasn't right with him, but I can't place it.*

Navi: Okay, just defeat him again so we can get this over with.

Lewa: Don't have to tell me twice. Turtle power! *He did another jump slash at Shredder, like before, and Shredder was defeat, like before. However, this time was different because the armor fell and it was revealed that it was Roodaka underneath that armor.*

Roodaka: Where am I? *She looks around and sees Lewa.*

Lewa: Roodaka was Shredder?!

Roodaka: I can't believe I got saved by a guy who looks like he should be in the airforce...

Kotake: Well, well, looks like she's back to normal, Koume.

Koume: She's just a girl, but she commands a lot of respect among the Vortixx, Kotake.

Kotake: Yes, she is just a girl... let's brainwash her again!

Lewa: Aw, don't do that!

Kotake: Quick, let's use our teleportation guns!

Koume: Let's kick these hooligans out of here!

*So the two witches use their guns and they hit Roodaka, who screams as she is teleported away.*

Kotake: We hit the wrong one.

Koume: Darn it. Let's get out of here! *The two witches go away, leaving Lewa and Navi alone.*

Lewa: Always got to make things difficult.

*Lewa then worked his way to the door behind where "Shredder" was sitting and went through, which turned out to be some sort of weird arena-looking chamber.*

Kotake: Look, it's that hooligan again! Maybe he's a madman or he's come to offer himself to Antroz!

*That's when they finally show themselves.*

Koume: With my flame, I shall burn him to the bone!

Kotake: With my frost, I shall freeze him to the soul!

Navi: What're we going to do?

*The witches began firing at Lewa with their respective powers from their brooms. Lewa, remembering what Kaepora Gaebora told him, decided to use the mirror shield to reflect their attacks back at each other.*

Koume: I saw my own reflection in there!

Kotake: He's more powerful than I imagined.

Both: Kotake and Koume's Double Dynamite Attack!

*Both witches join together and they become Twinrova.*

Twinrova, laughs: *winks at Lewa.*

Lewa: 0_0 I'm fear-scared.

Twinrova: Now that we have combined, our beauty and power level has doubled!

Navi: Wait, then wouldn't your age have doubled, too?

Twinrova: OH... she's right!

*And then at that moment, Twinrova dies and goes away... that was easy.*

Koume: We can't die, not now!

Kotake: We'll return to haunt you!

Lewa: I'd like to see that. Good luck there.

*Lewa goes through the magic exit. They were then taken to the chamber of sages, where Lewa came face to face with Roodaka.*

Roodaka: My, oh, my, I didn't think such a skinny guy like you could actually pull this off. If I had seen what kind of a guy you were, perhaps I would have kept my promise... oh well. Here, take the oversized novelty coin and go on your way. Crush that Antroz and give him one for me!

*She raises her arms and the final overzied novelty coin falls from the sky and Lewa takes it. It was bronze and had the Spirit Temple symbol on it, in case you were wondering.*

Lewa: Well, looks like now we've got everybody. Now what.

Lhikan: Lewa, can you hear me?

Lewa: Of course, I'm right in front of you.

Lhikan: The time has arrived for you to face Antroz. First, though, go back to the Temple of Time.

Lewa: Well, all right, if that's what you say…

*Following what Lhikan told him, Lewa went back to the Temple of Time. But there wasn't anyone waiting for him… or was it really so?*

Lewa: There's no one here.

*Lewa turns around to see Nessk waiting for him.*

Lewa: I know you're a ninja, but can't you just greet me like anyone else?

Nessk: No. So, you've managed to awaken all of the sages and you're ready to face Antroz.

Lewa: Yeah, that's what I thought.

Nessk: I'm sure you probably know everything on the Triforce, don't you?

Lewa: I thought I did, but I have a feeling you're going to speak-teach more about it.

Nessk: Yeah, you figured that right. When Antroz broke into the Sacred Realm and stole the Triforce, he ran and tripped over a bottle and broke it into three pieces. Had he not been spiritually imbalanced, he wouldn't have lost the other two. When that happens, the piece that most represents the individual will stay with them while the other two go and find new hosts they best represent. Since Antroz wanted power, he got the Triforce of Power. The three will be bound by destiny and have the Triforce pieces on the backs of their hand.*

Lewa: I got that much. What does that have to do with me, exactly?

Nessk: The one who got the Triforce of Courage is you, Lewa.

Lewa: I sort of already knew that.

Nessk: And the one who got the Triforce of Wisdom is none other than the seventh sage, and the one destined to lead them all.

Lewa, whining: I don't want to go through another temple!

Nessk: You don't have to.

*Nessk then reveals the Triforce of wisdom, and in a brilliant flash, Nessk disappeared, and standing there instead was none other than Nokama herself.*

Lewa: Nokama?? The whole time? The whole time…? The whole time?!

Nokama: Yes, it's me.

Lewa: Why did you disguise yourself as a ninja dark hunter?

Nokama: I did so to avoid detection from Antroz. He's been looking like mad for me ever since that day seven days ago…

*Flashback…*

*Antroz and Nexus are seen riding through the burning forest.*

Antroz: Wrong flashback! Wrong flashback! Stop showing this flashback!!

*End flashback.*

Nokama: Oops. Okay, let's try this again.

Lewa: No, don't bother, let's just forget the flashback. I'm getting bored-tired of them anyway.

Nokama: All right. But now the sages have been awakened and you can go stop Antroz!

Lewa: How will I do that?

Nokama: With the sacred power of the light arrows.

*Nokama raises her arms and bestows upon Lewa the power of the arrow of light.*

*After that, the ground starts to shake.*

Nokama: No, it can't be…

*Before she can react, Antroz imprisons her inside of a purple rupee (which means Nokama is worth 50 rupees??) and gives a sinister laugh.*

Antroz: I must commend you on avoiding me, Nokama, but alas it was all in vain. I can't believe it, too, I mean I would never have found you if you hadn't revealed your secret identity to Lewa! If you hadn't done that, I wouldn't have gotten to you! So much for having the Triforce of Wisdom! As for you, kid, I've got a date with destiny.

Lewa: Is she hot?

Antroz: Would you stop asking that about everything?! And I'm speaking metaphorically. If you wish to save your precious Nokama, come on down to my castle and save her yourself!

*Antroz then whisks Nokama away and they teleport back to his castle.*

Navi: You know, he has a point… she could have just said "I'm Nokama" quietly and avoided being captured. Maybe she doesn't represent the Triforce of Wisdom very well.

Lewa: Well, not like she hand-gave Metru Nui to some freak in a helmet in a very pathetic manner, did she?

Navi: No. If that happened, I'd just feel ashamed to be even living in Metru Nui.

Lewa: Me, too. I'd almost want to move.

All right, now I know I might be a relatively old member on BZPower, but I still have some writing left in me. For those who aren't familiar with my comedy A Day in the life of Teridax?, this is somewhat of a sequel series. I'll post a link to it some other day, it's in the old forums somewhere. This picks up after the final story arc that involved a mysterious monster taking out various Brotherhood members. Only Teridax, Gorast, Mutraine, and Chirox survived (until Gorast disposed of him). The attack was carried out by rogue Makuta "Hodge Podge" Algorox-Almaine and his newly recruited son, Sergeant-Detective Makuta Ailles-Almaine.Episode Alpha: The Horror is Rebooted*Somewhere on Destral…*Teridax: Um… what are we doing here again?Gorast: I’m not sure, Teri. Then again, our ending wasn’t all that clear.Mutraine: No kidding. So why are we back on Destral?Antroz: Perhaps the same reason why I’m here.Teridax: Antroz! You’re alive again!Chirox: He’s not the only one.Mutran: It’s physically impossible to really know how we went from being dead to alive again.Teridax: Shut your mouth, you pointy-headed lab geek. No one likes you.Mutran Fangirls: >:[Atheron: Personally, I don’t really care, so whatever works, I guess.Velixa: Hey, what happened to Icarax?Norenka: I don’t see him anywhere.*Somewhere in the real world…*Icarax: I already told you, I’m not a vampire! I’ve been telling you this for the past 2 and half years! Why don’t you listen to me? :(Girl 6: He has to be a vampire! Just like in Twilight!Icarax: ARGH! Why must I get tormented like this?!*Back on Destral…*Teridax: Ah, we don’t need him. He always got on my nerves, anywhere. He could be in some other universe being tormented by girls who admire him for no good reason, for all I care.Bitil: What’s the point? We’re only going to get killed off again. Or bet brought back in some comedy after 2 years of being ended.Vamprah: >_>Torah: Ah, you’re both just sticks in the mud.Zartross: Easy for you to say.Gyzerox: Yeah, since you aren’t one of the missing members of our group.Teridax: I don’t care, as long as I don’t have to deal with Icarax mentioning the Natalie girl or Krika doing something stupid.Gorast: UM, Teri?Teridax: What?Krika: Look upon me, for I am your Miss Destral 2008!All: O_OTeridax: How is it he is back and we’re still missing a few of our number?Atheron: Because he’s Krika? And he thinks we’re still in 2008?Teridax: That is a plausible theory. So he still thinks this is the beginning of the series?Velixa: I guess so. Then again, I wasn’t even here the beginning of the series, so whatever.*Knock at the door.*Antroz: I’ll get it.*Antroz opens the door to find the Ask Roodaka salesman*Salesman: I’m going door-to-door to make you this incredible offer!*Antroz slams the door on his face.*Antroz: What is it with these salespeople and them trying to sell us things on Mondays?Torah: For you, it was Monday. For me… it was Amonday.Teridax: What?Torah: Amonday. It’s like Monday. But Amon. Because… because he’s Amon.Gorast: You’re dumb. You got more annoying since Icarax disappeared forever.Teridax: Well, since we’re running low on members, I guess the only thing left to do is…Gorast: Teridax, don’t say it…Teridax: Bring in our old servants.Gorast: Darn it, you said it!Antroz: Can we go out for smoothies later?Teridax: No! There won’t be smoothies until I have these guys employed again.*Some few hours later…*Roodaka: Why in the world am I even here? I’m done with Makuta, especially after everything he put me through.Sidorak: Yeah… and he did kind of destroy my house with a helicopter.Roodaka: No… that was me.Sidorak: Wait… *pauses to remember* That’s right! You never even fixed my house! You Roodaka-copter ruined it all!Roodaka: Calm down. Don’t make me have to get the stupid pills to calm you down.Sidorak: You’re making me crazy… and you don’t want to see me when I’m crazy.Teridax: Ah. Roodaka.Roodaka: Makuta.Gorast: Hussy.Roodaka: You’re still here?Gorast: You’re still living?Sidorak: Oh, burn, Roodaka.*Roodaka hits Sidorak on the head, making him fall to the floor.*Teridax: I brought you here for a very special reason.Roodaka: You’re going to apologize for putting me through all the pain and torment of a broken heart?Teridax: No. Why would I do that?Roodaka: Never mind, that was asking too much.Teridax: I’m going to give you your old jobs back.Sidorak: Yay! I’ll have a job again that won’t involve Roodaka embarrassing me on TV!Roodaka: You don’t need me to do that, Sidorak. And why should I help you?Karzahni: Because… you’re… mine now.Music: Four, tres, two, uno.Sidorak and Roodaka: NOOOO!!!!*Sidorak and Roodaka break down the doors and hide from Karzahni… who isn’t Karzahni at all.*Teridax, laughs: Thanks for going along with the plan. I knew they’d crawl back to me if they thought Karzahni was after them again.Spiriah: No problem. As much as I hate being having to change into that dreadful Karzahni, it was worth it to see Roodaka so scared.Norik: Makuta Teridax…Teridax: Ah, Norik, I see you and your team got my message.Pouks: You got some nerve.Gaaki: I can feel them… Everywhere! They’re everywhere?!Gorast: What’s with her?Bomonga: That mask of hers drives her crazy. I know how to fix it, but no one will let me.Kualus: Because hitting someone over the head with a boulder doesn’t always work.Bomonga: It worked for me.Teridax: I’ll cut to the chase. I want you to work for me again.Iruini: Why should we work for you? You tried to kill us.Teridax: Oh, come on, just think of the good time we had together.Norik: There weren’t any good times, you creep.Gaaki: Stop the voices in my head! They’re angry… they won’t leave me alone! *screams*Spiriah: Can someone get this insane woman out of my presence? She is giving me a headache.Norik: Don’t you talk about my girlfriend that way.Spiriah: Well, you’re a moron and your girlfriend needs to be institutionalized. Wait, why am I even rationalizing with you urchins?*Spiriah takes all of them in his fist in Hulk-like rage and then he jumps through the other wall. Like the kool-aid man.*Spiriah: You’re going to work for us and you’re going to like it! Or else you’ll end up like MY team of Toa Hagah!Teridax: Well, that was effective.Gorast: I’ll say.*That’s when the doors burst open and a familiar unstable female warrior shows herself.*Teridax, laughs to himself: I was beginning to wonder if you would ever show.Elitha: You really think I’d miss a chance to see your ugly face again?Gorast: Teridax is not ugly! You take that back!Teridax: No, Gorast, let her vent off some steam. She’s nothing more than an angry little child, after all.Elitha: You sadistic fool! You made me!Teridax: No… you complete me.Gorast: :(Teridax: Not like that, you weirdos.*That’s when ShadowBionics goes off to make his own ElithaXTeridax fanart and post it up for all to see.*Gorast: :)Teridax: Besides, if I hadn’t have interfered in your life, you’d be just some silly Matoran girl with silly fantasies running through your silly head all silly.Elitha: You’re a creep. And a selfish, oblivious fool. You can’t even see that your little mosquito friend is madly in love with you.Gorast, blushing: Cut that out! Besides, Teridax will love me someday.Elitha: Well, technically he did love you in Episode 95 of the original series, which got undone by The Shadowed One after he made a deal with the Farshtey.Teridax and Gorast: What?Elitha, giggles: I have knowledge and powers you can’t even begin to imagine.Teridax: What are you?Elitha: I’m your worst nightmare, Makuta Teridax.Teridax: You can’t get to me, you’re just trying to scare me.Elitha: Then I guess it’s time for this little night nurse to take the night shift… I’ll be keeping my eye on you, Teridax.*Elitha turns to her spirit form and escapes from Destral.*Teridax: She scares me.Gorast: Don’t worry, Teridax.

Yet, I can’t help but feel we forgot something…*On some deserted island…*Hodge Podge: Soon, my son, you will be able to avenge me and get back at the Brotherhood of wrecking my life.Ailles: Yes, father… This is all just so much for me.Hodge Podge: I know, and I’m sorry I had to hide you as a Matoran on Pana Nui, but that was the only way I could protect you from the Brotherhood. Luckily, you were made from my untampered DNA… I’ll get that lousy science school dropout Mutran!Ailles: Did you say something about Icarax?Hodge Podge: Yes, but he’s out of our reach now, suffering a fate worse than death. Never the less, we will strike soon…

 

 

These last three or so chapters were pretty good! I liked the mention of Adaptive Armor in the Water Temple chapter, as well as Dark Lewa. Was that a reference to that old Zelda cartoon show? If so, it was kinda out of nowhere which made it even funnier! The "Death Temple" interlude with Tahu was hilarious, too, especially Antroz's flashback. However, my favorite part was having the carpenters from the desert be a "Village People" tribute band, which was just sort of random until you added the "In the Navi" pun. Was that whole chapter just building up to that? If so, it was genius. Can't wait for the Spirit (or whatever you decide to call it) temple! Lewa0111 Nuva

Yeah, I've found it weird how there's not been much mention of it after 2008, especially in Lewa's case. And yeah, lots of Dark Lewa's dialogue was based off the 80's cartoon show.The Tahu part was one of my favorite parts, and later on after this story, you'll see it will come back to haunt him. Antroz's flashback is starting to become a meme in the series, as well. Yeah, the chapter was building up to that. My friends had this joke that "Ivan" was "navy/navi" spelled backwards, so that sort of served as inspiration, especially when they used to make fun of that song. So it was kind of an elaborate way to build up to that. And yeah, it's going to be called the Spirit Temple, as seen right here.

 

*After crossing the desert through this Neverending Dream (if you get the reference, I will forever be in your debt and gratitude), he made it to the Desert Colossus smack dab in the middle of the Desert. And luckily it wasn't buried underground or anything like those ruins in the first Paper Mario, and from Green Day to Cascada to Paper Mario, I just can't stop can I?*

*Lewa walked in. On one end, there was a giant stone that looked too heavy to move. On the other side was a small entrance blocked off by a steel metal plate.

Lewa: How am I supposed to get past that?

Navi: What do you mean?

Lewa: I don't think I could fit-squeeze through that. And that block is too heavy-large to move.

Navi: Well, let's head outside and rethink our plans…

*Lewa and Navi head outside, not knowing they were being watched. As the two pass outside, they are greeted by a familiar face jumping off from the roof.*

Navi: It's raining ninjas!

Lewa: I believe the plural is "ninja."

Navi: Whatever.

Nessk: I take it you couldn't get inside.

Lewa: Yeah, both entrances are blocked off by something.

Nessk: Here's an idea for you: How about you go back in time before Antroz fortified this place? The rock will still be there, but the metal plate won't be.

Lewa: You know, I should do that!

Nessk: Before you do, let me teach you one last song to help you get back here quickly.

*Nessk plays the Requiem of Spirit on the harp and Lewa plays it on the ocarina. With that, Nessk steps into the approaching storm of dust and after it clears, Nessk is gone.*

Lewa: Never underestimate the power of the ninja, Navi.

*One time travel to the past later…*

*Lewa, now a week in the past, returns to the Spirit Temple to see the large stone was still there, but the other entrance was now blocked off by a Vortixx in black armor.*

Roodaka: Well, well, well, I haven't seen you around here... Just what do you want?

Vakama: To join you...

*I thought I told you to go away, Vakama!*

Lewa: Uh… I was bored.

Roodaka: Hmm... You've got some moxie, and that's a rare quality. None of those mindless drones back at the fortress have any guts and they just do whatever without thinking twice.

Navi: Um... okay.

Lewa: Oh, so that's how I must have tricked them so easily.

Roodaka: Well, then, Slim, why don't you do me a favor since you don't have anything to do? Oh, but wait, can I ask you something? You're not a follower of Antroz by chance, are you...?

Lewa: No, I hate that guy!

Roodaka: Hmm... I was just asking. At least you're not a greedy liar like he is. He's been acting like some goody two shoes ever since he started this whole thing. I was just in it for the music... but him... Oh, no, he messed up big time! Well, let's cut to the chase. I'm Roodaka, and I'm a lone wolf sort of girl, always doing my own thing. I'm a bad girl... but don't get me wrong, I'm nothing like that maniac Antroz! I just manipulate people. He on the other hand manipulates people and then kills. I'll never bow down to such a sad, strange little man.

Navi: But he's your leader...

Lewa: Or so the others back at the fortress say.

Roodaka: That doesn't mean I follow him like the rest of those smelt heads. They just follow him because he's our leader. Me, at least I've got the guts to rebel against him. So, what's your name?

Lewa: I'm Lewa.

Roodaka: Ah, whatever, I want to ask you a favor... See this wall? I can't get to the other side. Plus, I just don't want to. There's a treasure on the other side and I want you to go get it for me. The treasure is these Silver Gauntlets that let you move heavy rocks, like that one over there.

*Lewa looked behind him at the giant stone at opposite end. It made him think about how perhaps he could use these silver gauntlets to move it.*

Roodaka: Now don't you be thinking about keeping them for yourself now.

Lewa: Oh… sure. I won't…

Roodaka: Good boy. See, Antroz and his minions are using this place as a hideout. Well, that other side to be exact, I'm not allowed there. Those Silver Gauntlets can let me sneak over there without being seen or anything! So you'll do it?

Lewa: Yeah, sure, I got nothing else to do.

Roodaka: Great. Now we just have to find a way to the other side. First, we'll need--

*Lewa took his Midak Skyblaster and blew a hole in the wall, big enough for him to get through.*

Lewa: That's what I call renovation.

Roodaka: Okay, your way works to. Thinking outside the box... I like it. Of course, now they're going to have to replace the hole with a steel metal plate, but whatever. Now you go on in there and I'll just stand out here and avoid getting hurt. If you do it and do it right, I'll give you a little something.

*So Roodaka and her Arabian-looking self steps out of the way and Lewa enters through the hole in the wall he made. He treks his way through the rooms, fighting off a bunch of vampire bats that were oddly set on fire and soon enough, makes it into the boss chamber.*

Navi: Okay, so what now?

Lewa: I don't know. It's empty. Nothing but pillars and the freaky-scary armor.

*Lewa took a whack at the armor, and all of a sudden it roars to life.*

Shredder: GRAAAAH!

*Lewa's eyes widdened. The boss was none other than the Shredder himself!*

Shredder: Tonight I dine on turtle soup...

*Other than how obviously confused he was, Shredder looked pretty dangerous, especially while waving that giant axe of his around... wait... oh, nevermind how he got the axe, just enjoy the spoof!*

Lewa: He must think I'm a Ninja Turtle because I'm wearing green!

Navi: Well, don't let that bother you. How are we going to stop him?

*Lewa was beside himself... and I don't mean in a "Dark Lewa" sort of way. Through some buried memories, he sort of knew a way of a possible way to defeat the Shredder, but would it work? Only one way to find out.*

Lewa: Turtle Power!! *Lewa did a jump slash at Shredder, defeating him.*

Shredder: Noooooo!!!

April: I just hope I haven't missed out on the action!

Navi: O_O How did you…?

Lewa: Simple. The turtles defeated him, loud-shouted "turtle power!" and then Shredder goes "Nooo!" and then April gets there late.

Navi: Well… nothing makes sense anyway.

*Lewa then proceeded past the chair where Shredder was resting and out to get the treasure, which was resting out on a ledge outside the temple. He opened the chest and it was indeed the Silver Gauntlets.*

Kaepora Gaebora: Hoot hoot. Hey. Lewa. Look over here.

Navi: Oh, no…

Lewa: not him!

Kaepora Gaebora: Surprised to see me?

Lewa: Yes…

Kaepora Gaebora: I always thought stories of a moron who could travel through time were but mere legends, and yet here you are standing before me. I'm pleasantly surprised. You know, this reminds me of a story…

Lewa: No! Last line, freak!

Kaepora Gaebora, annoyed: And so she found out the goat belonged to her brother.

Lewa: I don't get it.

Kaepora Gaebora: But what I also wanted to tell you is there's these two evil witches lurking in this place and to defeat them, you must turn their own powers against them. You know this reminds me of another story where--

Lewa: Last line!

Kaepora Gaebora, annoyed: So, it turned out she paid him with a goat instead of a chicken. Now, then, this is my final advice. Turn the powers of the witches against each other. Farewell, Lewa, and made the power of the goddesses be with you…

*Kaepora Gaebora flies away, never to be seen again. Lewa gave a silent cheer deep down. This short victory didn't last long as he heard a woman scream from down below. Lewa put the gauntlets away and he looked down while keeping himself hidden.*

Roodaka: Hey, where are you taking me?!

*Roodaka fired some shots from her catcher claw and then made a run for the outside of the temple. But it was no use as she ended up being ensnared by shadow power coming from the ground like a votrex.*

*Lewa watched in horror, especially since he felt there was nothing he could do. He was especially horrified at the two evil witches on their broomsticks that circled her like two hungry vultures.*

Roodaka: Lewa, wherever you are, get out! These wtiches are using the shadows on me!! *But it was too late for her, as she was swallowed by the vortex. The witches laughed in triumph.*

Lewa, quietly: Yeah, sure, give me away.

Koume: That'll teach those silly kids to stay off our lawn!

Kotake: Yeah, this was a great idea!

*Lewa was once again besides himself... he looked at the gauntlets, which he promised to Roodaka... but Roodaka was obviously indisposed right now. The only thing he thought he could do was use these things, get to the other half of the temple, and beat those witches and maybe save Roodaka.*

Hmm... MOCs of them... no, I probably wouldn't be able to do that.I like how each sister as their own design, mask, expression, and personality. I like how you give them life and expression while keeping true to the who "lego set" and biomechanical aspect to the characters. They all seem so detailed and well done. Very much in contrast to something I made for one of my female characters in drawing her chibi style.Great job here.

Variety is a very important aspect when creating versatile characters.I'd like to take a look at that chibi. It sounds interesting.

Indeed it is, it gives each character their own unique style and sense of identity. Otherwise if I say drew a bunch of characters that looked like Lesovikk, then... yeah, now that's silly.Well, I guess I could post her up in the forum sometime in the future. She's more of a "human" chibi however, but with the armor of the MOC I made of her, so she has a mix of Bionicle and Hero Factory elements to her. I'll let you decide if you'd like to see her.

I definitely would like to see it. =D

All right, well here you are. I just made the topic a short while ago."Toon" Elitha

All right then, well I wasn't entire sure about this originally, but I'm going to post up fan art of one of my fan-made characters, a Shadow Toa-like warrior named Elitha, but personified in what my friends have nicknamed "toon style." If this would side more with non-topic kind of art, please move it. I'm not sure about this one and I read through the guidelines as much as I could.In a nutshell, my "toon" style of drawing is like a chibi kind of thing where characters are made to look cute and sort of playful. I was inspired to do this actually by The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It's not the same kind of style, but I was inspired to draw characters kind of like that. I've done this with various video game characters ranging from Link and Zelda to Claire "Lighting" Farron. I've done the same for Elitha, except she is now more human-like.Dare to CompareHere is the Mk IV version of the Elitha MOC alongside her toon counterpart. For personal reasons, I've blotted out part of my signature, but that's another story. Like the MOC, her drawing counterpart has gone through some changes as well.Original Mk I inspiredMy apologies for the blurriness of the picture. But this was my first attempt at drawing her. You see, Elitha's story revolves around her as a troubled Matoran thrust into a world she didn't want to be a part of by the Brotherhood of Makuta, ultimately losing everything she held onto and becoming a shadow warrior with the help of a mask she created, the Kanohi Mask of Death (the Ignika's knock-off and polar opposite).Current Mk IV inspiredHer current incarnation. I showed off the Mk III to BZPower sometime back and after getting some criticism and advice, I updated the MOC, so then I set out to update the drawing as well to reflect those changes. She still has the same general look. Elitha is portrayed as a troubled "young woman," so to say and I wanted to try and personify that. In doing so and to incorporate one of the main things about the toon/chibi style, I've made the mask look like a tiara and the rest of her face you can see. Her face and hair is constant in both drawings.I originally thought about giving her the cape-wings that appear in the MOC, but I tried to put them in and they ended up just looking like some bizarre Gorast wings. The way the wings are constructed and appear from the front, I guess it wasn't too much of a good idea.Okay, I guess that's about it for now. Note: before you say the drawing(s) look(s) simple, that is actually the point. They are meant to look simplistic and have a playful kind of element to them. This style is especially popular with my friends and they like how I make these characters. I know I'm not the best artist in the world and I can't draw realistically, but as one of my friends put it, these are cartoonish kind of drawings so they can't really be compared to realistic drawings in that league.All right, I guess that is it. As before mentioned, if this doesn't fit in with this forum, please move it, although since this is a "human Bionicle" character, I thought it would be fitting to post here.
