ShadowBionics

The same way Star Wars fans don't talk about the prequels (I'm personally okay with them except Phantom Menace). Indiana Jones fans don't talk about Crystal Skull, a number of Bionicle fans don't like to talk about TLR for a few reasons. However, these are just mine as I would be rambling more than usual if I listed everyone's reasons. First off, THE MIGHTY TUMA!!! suffered from Sidorak syndrome. Started off as a formidable villain in the books and comics, and becomes cheesy and weak in the movie. Not to mention he didn't have much screen time. And no offense to the VA, but I imagined Tuma sounding a lot different, and considering who is the VA, I'm kind of surprised and disappointed. As many have already pointed out, Kiina got kind of annoying really fast. Again, no offense to her VA or anything, but Kiina could have been less.... cheery. It isn't the VA's fault, it's moreso the people doing the scripting and dialogue, but never the less it was cringing to hear her utter "WHOO HOOOO!!!" every now and again. There's also some technical goofs here and there that kind of bother me or make me feel amused inside. For one thing, a big guy like Tuma has tiny, clinking footsteps while walking around Tajun. And how can a skinny guy like Mata Nui easily push over two big, burly Stronius look-alikes? And some have argued about Metus' clapping sound as well. Those are just a few nitpicks off the top of my head. The people working on the original trilogy I think paid a little better attention to detail. The plotholes... ugh, the plotholes. Not as many plotholes as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but there are some that are kind of pointless and obvious all at once. While it would have ruined an action sequence, did Kiina need to slam the brakes when encountering the Scopio? Couldn't she have just turned to the left, let the Scopio dine on Bone Hunter soup, and possibly make it to Tajun in time to fight some Skrall? I know story-wise it's supposed to happen, but I think there ought to have been another way to go about it. Then Tuma's fate for example is left unclear. I thought he died, but then later on he's disappeared. Even later on, I read that he was just disposed of by the Skrall (because who wants a wimp like that leading them)? They leave a few things unclear and as a viewer, it kind of confuses me. The plot seemed kind of predictable. Compared to some moments in the original trilogy, at least TLR becomes kind of flat and predictable. Take LOMN as an example. I think a lot of people were surprised when Turaga Dume not only made the Toa Metru into traitors, but turned out to be Makuta the whole time! So for a little over half the movie, there's a major turn of events and it makes it kind of... no, VERY interesting. WOS, while maybe not as good, also had it's own surprises, such as The Emperor Roodaka making Vakama become evil, her plot to kill off Sidorak, and essentially become the evil sorceress the evil tyrant with her knight by her side. Mask of Light maybe had one of the bigger surprises of its time when Takua, upon witnessing Jaller's sacrifice, has a major change in attitude and accepts his destiny as the Toa of Light. The whole time, Lego marketed the characters as being separate and remained coy about the Toa's identity (I remember some people thought Gali was the Toa of Light). TLR... well, if you've seen various action and adventure movies, you might be able to make some guesses here and there as to what might happen next. Protagonist in unfamiliar world, befriends locals, embarks on a quest of destiny, fights off Vader main villain. Now I'm pretty sure there will be those who disagree with me. In fact, I know there's going to be a group of people who disagree with me, but these are just my personal thoughts, and I am sorry if my personal thoughts are in line with yours, but these all coincide with my tastes in entertainment and media, as well as my comparisons towards the original 3 Bionicle movies. While they are not perfect as movies either (they do have their flaws in them, you can't totally deny it), they either have some redeeming factor that allows me to overlook them and not judge them as harshly, or they are not as noticeable as when compared to TLR and some of the things I noticed first off. So that is it out of me, rant mode terminated.

The next chapter in the Dimwit of Time series, hope you enjoy this story as much as I do. *It had been a peaceful time in the land of Metru Nui. Antroz was seemingly defeated and everything was peaceful. There couldn’t be more peace. If there was more peace in this land, then everything would just be in an fiery deadly explosion of peace!* Lewa: GEE, it sure is BORING around HERE. *The king of this land was taking a drink at this moment, but then he stopped.* Lhikan: MY BOY, this is peace is what all true warriors STRIVE FOAR. Lewa: I just wonder what Antroz is up to! *This “interesting” conversation is interrupted when some guy with a funny hat comes in riding a magic carpet. And somewhere else, Krekka came back to life, grew to be a giant, and smashed a house made of candy and declared “Oh fe fi fo fum fi fo fum fi fi fum fum! Hiss my name!”* Vastus: Your Majesty, Antroz and his minions have seized the island of Koridai. Lhikan: Hm…. I wonder what’s for DINNER? Vastus: It is written only Lewa can defeat Antroz. Lewa: Great! I’ll grab my stuff! Vastus: There is no time. Your sword is enough. *As Vastus does the Thriller dance, Lewa grabs his sword and turns to face Princess Nokama.* Lewa: How about a kiss? For luck? Nokama: You’ve got to be kidding. Lewa: Well, excu-uuuuuuuse me, Princess. *Lewa gets on the genie’s magic carpet and they fly away. And no, there will be no singing of “A Whole New World” sadly.* Vastus: SQUADALAH! We’re off! *Flying overhead, Lewa takes notice of some of the strange mountain formations on the island.* Lewa: Wow! What are all those HEADS? Vastus: These are the Faces of Daftness. You must conquer each. Lewa: I guess I better get going. Vastus: Here is the map. Where do you wish to go? *After taking 3 hours to decide, Lewa goes to Crater Cove, where he finds a bunch of lizard guys, some freaky crab things, and a real working volcano. He then goes into the house of some random guy with one of those crab things.* Hafu: Yulp yulp, that’s a bigg’un! Yulp, that’s a bigg’un. Biggest crab I ever caught! Yulp yulp yulp! Lewa: That’s a Gohma! Hafu: Yulp yulp, that’s a bigg’un. Here, that this! *And so Lewa got the Power Sword, because it totally makes sense.* Lewa: Thanks! Hafu: Keep up the good work. After you defeat Antroz, we can go back to fishing! Yulp yulp. *Lewa leaves, totally oblivious, and heads over to the face of Goronu… which has a shop there. Lewa beats up some of the lizard guys, takes some of their money, and heads into the shop, where an interesting shopkeeper takes care of the place.* Strakk: Lamp oil. Rope. BOMBS. You want it? It’s yours, my friend, as long as you have enough rubies. Lewa: Yeah! *Lewa buys some stuff until he’s poor.* Strakk: Sorry, Lewa, I can’t give credit. Come back when you’re a little… Mmmmmm richer! *Lewa leaves to go to the face of Nortinka, which is full of ice, ice guys, and snow.* Lewa: Yay! Snowball fights! *Lewa gets rid of some enemies with the snowballs (dang, I didn’t know snowball fights could be so violent) and goes into a random igloo.* Varian: Help! Antroz froze the fountain! Now I’m stuck. Lewa: Sorry. I don’t like to talk anyone ice-frozen. *Lewa finds a SECRET PASSAGE after leaving the frozen Toa to find a big brain reading a book.* Lewa: Hey! Why are you alone, big brain? Nuju: I’ve been dedicating time to find out how to stop Antroz. I need the Book of Koridai. Lewa: Okay by me. Nuju: Find the Book of Koridai, and then I will be able to help you further. Lewa: Got it, weird-freak.

All right, well it's my turn to go ahead and reveal what exactly it is I have up my sleeves. Before any of you ask, Yes, Unsolved Mysteries will continue. However, I'm going to make like Nintendo and not have anything about or announce it. XD *cough*Pikmin 3*cough* All right, well, this is going to be filled with upcoming material for the Zelda/Bionicle cross-over series that I am doing. At least based on the various teasers I have made. Why don't we begin with where the series is actually meant to begin. You know, when Vader was nothing but a little kid who was annoying and Jar Jar was made real. Oh, wait, I'm thinking of the wrong beginning... Bionicle: Skyward Stooge-- Prelude to Stupidity Krika, voice-over: For over a thousand generations, the Brotherhood was the protector of peace and justice throughout the land under the leadership of Makuta Miserix. Before the dark time. Before the corruption. A young Makuta called Teridax, who was a friend of mine, hunted down and and defeated those who opposed him. Teridax was seduced by the dark side of the force *We then cut to a scene of Teridax, staring out at the audience with his eyes glowing crimson. The sound of loud, almost mechanical breathing can be heard throughout. It turns out Teridax is at a library. And hes staring angrily at the book, and he only looked up at the audience for just a brief moment to clear his head.* Teridax: ABCDGL5 QEleventy-seven Grr! Why cant I remember how to read?! *A few hours pass until Hylia arrives, holding onto the Kanohi Avokhi in one hand.* Hylia: There you are, Teridax. Where have you been? Teridax: Theyve been lying to us, Hylia. Hylia: What? Teridax: The Great Spirit, the Golden Goddesses, theyve all been telling us nothing but lies! And I have the proof right here! Youre trying to take her away from me! You traitor! Hylia: What?! Who?! Teridax: You, Marco! Youre trying to take Amanda away from me. You, Mata Nui, and those three golden ladies who look like Oscars! Hylia: Thats a romance novel. And they dont look like Oscars. Teridax: If its just a fictional romance novel, why was it marked as non-fiction? Hylia: But youre standing next to the childrens literature. Although youre right that the book has been shelved wrong. Teridax: But this book tells about the lies of Mata Nui and the three goddesses right here! Hylia: Hop on Pop? Teridax: Thats not all. I discovered a great prophecy that explains how I am the one destined to inherit this world! Hylia: The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Teridax: I see through the lies of the goddesses. I do not fear the evil side as you do. Hylia: Teridax my allegiance is to the Great Spirit. To freedom! Teridax: I also found this riddle that explains why Mata Nui hasnt done anything aside from give you that mask that could spell my doom. Hylia: A bear's three favorite words are: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Im pretty sure that was from Bear in the Big Blue House Teridax: It was all easy once I found the answer to the equation x+5x-3x^2=2x Hylia: Teridax, you know I hate math! Dont use math on me! Math is evil! *Teridax starts to walk away, passing by Hylia as he does so.* Hylia: Teridax, where are you going? Teridax: Dont call me that anymore! Only a few have a right to call me that name, and you have none! The next time you call refer to me, call me the King of Darkness! *Hylia attempted to run after Teridax, but he ran away so quickly that by the time she made it outside, everything was on fire.* Hylia: By Nayrus Love! Teridax how could you? Oh, Teridax If only I could help you see No. I need to put a plan into action. Oh, Teridax Why did it have to be this way? *Somewhere in the heavens* Din: I knew it was a bad idea to leave her there on her own. Nayru: Yet you never said anything. Din: I wasnt sure she would let Teridax get this crazy in the head. Nayru: The knowledge in those books overloaded him. We should never have left that library open. Hopefully, Hylia will find a chosen hero to help her bring order. Din: Whats the point of that Mask of Light shes got? Nayru: I honestly dont know. Din: Here I thought wisdom was your thing. Nayru: Dont make fun of me, Din! Farore: I think its a pretty mask. Nayru and Din: Shut up, Farore! Din: Why did we have to be the only smart ones around here? Nayru: Are you implying you have any sign of brilliance? Din: You did not just say Im dumb! Nayru: I believe that was called a burn. Din: Want to know a few things about burning? Fires my thing after all! Nayru: No thanks. Farore: The sun is so shiny and bright. I bet its so hot there, Id melt! Din: Be quiet, sister! Nayru: This doesnt involve you! Farore: Why do I always get left out? Krika, voice-over: I was there. I was there when the strength of Hylias forces fell. There was no hope left for anyone that day I wished to join her but I would only have been met with the wrath of the Darkness King It could have ended that day, but instead the only thing that transpired was a never-ending cycle of reincarnation and evil. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All right, so that is going to spoof the prequel Manga to Skyward Sword. Now, for those asking about the spoof of Skyward Sword itself? I wasn't originally going to post it on here after complaints about the series as a whole, but I'm going to give BZPower one more shot. So here is a preview of the story, as well as one of my favorite moments. The story is currently 6 chapters long, with more to continue. Bionicle: Skyward Stooge *Elitha struggled as Krekka held her in his arms.* Elitha: Let go of me! Somebody help me! Krekka: Duh, Im the captain. Me hold you. Elitha: Please, sir, let go of me! Nidhiki: That wont be happening anytime soon, you silly girl. Elitha: You lived among us once I remember you, Professor Nidhiki. Nidhiki: So someone actually remembers me? Elitha: I never forgot. Your class was once of my favorites. It was because of you I even took over the library in your absence. Nidhiki: My library Ghirahim: Please do not talk to the sacrifice. Elitha: Sacrifice?! Let go of me! Krekka: Duh. *Ghirahim then takes a role of tape, strapping the brush with the blond hairs to Elitha's arm. Ghirahim then takes a double-bladed staff weapon called the scissor scythe (making it a misnomer), activating the blade, and then using it to cut into Elithas pure essence. Elitha falls unconscious. Ghirahim then uses the soul fragment he had and inserts it into the dark mask given to him by his master. He takes the dark mask in his hands and slams it over Elithas Kanohi Rau. Nidhiki looked on in regret as Ghirahim created a Horcrux for Elitha. Having been well-read, he knew nothing good would come from this.* *Krekka followed Ghirahim, now cosplaying as Maximillion Pegasus cosplaying as a Great Being, as they went into a dark chamber with only a circular window as the source of light.* Ghirahim: Nidhiki? You know what to do. *Nidhiki nodded sadly as he began to weave a cocoon around Elitha. For so long, he figured all of the students at the Knight Academy hated him. For so long, he wanted to get away from those who annoyed him, especially his former brother Lhikan. Then it all changed the day he met a dark villain Now he was no longer accepted by anyone. The villain partnered him with Krekka for whatever reason, as no one would accept the monster he had now become. And yet, hearing Elithas kind words did something to him. To the point he slowly started to regret the choices he made. When the cocoon was done, he placed Elitha on a bed made of stone.* Nidhiki: Ready *Ghirahim walked up, took out a beaker of a sick green substance, and poured it onto the cocoon.* Nidhiki: What is that? Ghirahim: Essence of my master Antidermis. Krekka: Duh, whats Antidermis? Ghirahim: Excellent. Now, my Bokoblins, you know what to do! *There were Bokoblins in the room also cosplaying as Great Beings, lining up the room.* Bokoblins, chanting: Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-ChakaGhirahim: I can't stop this feeling deep inside of me. Girl, you just don't realize what you do to me *As Ghirahim chanted, the cocoon started to glow a dark green, until finally it broke open. Everyone looked in awe. No longer was there a shy, timid Av-Matoran girl there, but now a dark Toa of Shadow clad in red, black, and gunmetal gray. The brush taped to her arm was now a shield strapped to her arm. The mask Ghirahim put on her was the most striking feature of the whole look. Nidhiki was the most curious about how much Elitha had changed.* Ghirahim: Excellent! My heart is just a-flutter now! Nidhiki: You seriously talk weird. Ghirahim: This is just fabulous! I should go over and see how well it turned out. Nidhiki: I wouldnt approach her if I were you. Ghirahim: Nonsense. It wont harm me. *As Ghirahim took a step, Elitha moved her left leg up at an angle. Ghirahim stopped, and took another step, but as he did, Elitha made her left leg straight and moved her right leg at an angle. She did this as Ghirahim kept getting closer.* Ghirahim: What is this? Nidhiki: Well, Youre going to find out. Elitha: Its critical, cause your bodys gonna rock just like a chemical. Makes you bouncin around the block just like an outlaw. Were gonna take it to the top, twelve oclock. Thats it, guess whos on the night shift. *Elitha finally sits up and takes a moment to observe her surroundings. She still had all her thoughts and memories as a Matoran, but now she was so much more.* Elitha: Cause tonight Im working overtime. Are you ready to cross the line? Ill treat you until the break of dawn. Youre not alone. *At that moment, Elitha springs into action, taking down the Bokoblins with her new electrified whips from her arms. She then took the scissor scythe from Ghirahim before disappearing into the shadows.* Ghirahim: Stop her! Krekka: Duh, whered she go? Nidhiki: I was wondering the same thing. *The chamber echoed with Elithas evil laughter.* Elithas voice: Who ya gonna call? Ghirahim: Stop standing there and get her! *Elitha then reappears suddenly, kicking over Krekka and making her way towards Nidhiki.* Nidhiki: The Night Nurse Elitha: Dont wanna be your lover, oh no. But I could be your remedy, oh, oh. I dont wanna be your lover, oh no, but I could be your remedy, your cure *Elitha playfully taps Nidhiki on the nose and she stops her song.* Elitha: Surprised to see me, Professor Nidhiki? Nidhiki: I should say Ghirahim: How did you stop her?? Nidhiki: She isnt just some science experiment, you know. Youve created a whole new being from her. Treat her like one. Ghirahim: Fine But neither of you will ever be as fabulous as me! Nidhiki: Fine by me. Elitha: I wouldnt want to be, anyway. *Both of them laugh as Ghirahim angrily walks out of the room. And Krekka is still unconscious.* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So that chapter is basically the origin of Elitha and how she went from being a shy, timid, bookish librarian type of character into the insane and power-hungry villain she is now. It's been hinted at before in the series she wasn't always what she is. It's also been hinted she's considered the "daughter" of Teridax. All right, now for a series I've sort of neglected in the past. Here is a preview of a chapter you may not see for a long time, but it's funny anyway, so why not? TMM: Lewa's Mask Chronicles Lewa: So tell me, Navi, what in Mata Nuis chimpanzee face do I do with this mask from Kafei? Tatl: Well, my name is Tatl, and Im honestly not sure. I know that Keaton is very popular around these parts. Lewa: Yeah, but what does this mask do? Aside from make me look like a Pikachu coplayer? Tatl: I dont know. Try spinning around with your sword out really fast. Lewa: Okay, but I dont know what this will accomplish. Tatl: I do, and I hope it gets me away from you. Lewa: What was that? Tatl: Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. *Lewa takes out his sword and does a spin attack near a cluster of grass, cutting it all down in the process. Not long after the grass gets cut, a mystical creature appears.* Lewa: Its Ninetails! Tatl: Darn, I was hoping itd work. Keaton: No, you fool. I am Keaton. We Keatons can recognize each other by the sheen of our tails. But you smell like a fool, therefore you are not one of us. You are an imposter. Lewa: So youre a talking fox? Keaton: Pretty much. Well, since youre here, why dont we have a chat? Lewa: What do we quick-chat about? Keaton: Hey diddle diddle, how about a riddle? Lewa: Uh why not? Keaton: Answer me this. What is the name of the vintage milk sold at the milk bar? Lewa: The Chateau Romani. Keaton: Correct. Answer me this. What is the name of Clock Towns inn? Lewa: Stock Pot Inn. Keaton: Correct. Lewa: By the way, its Clook Town. Keaton: Shut up. Now, answer me this. What does the owner of the bomb shop call his mother? Lewa: Ugh this is a tough one what was that? He calls her Mommy. Keaton: Correct. Answer me this. What is the name bestowed upon you by the ranch girl, Vhisola? Lewa: The first one or the second one? Keaton: The first one, of course. But you get bonus points for naming them both in order. Lewa: Grasshopper. And then Snotball. Keaton: Correct. Answer me this. What instrument does Remote play? Lewa: He plays an instrument? Keaton: Yes. Lewa: Can I use my lifelines? Keaton: Okay. Lewa: Navi, what instrument does Remote play? Tatl: How should I know? Lewa: You were sort of with him when I found you. And you used the magic of flashbacks to tell me how you ran into him. Tatl: He never played an instrument when my brother and I were with him. He spoke about playing a flute Lewa: A flute! Keaton: Good, very good! Take this prize! *And thus Lewa got a heart piece but that is almost irrelevant since this series doesnt cover them.* Lewa: So I dont become a millionaire? Keaton: Nope. Lewa: Darn. Just like how the sword didnt make me king of anything. Keaton: Well, if you want to try? Lewa: Of course! Keaton: Okay. Answer me this. What is the name of the King of Darkness? Lewa: O_O Can I phone a friend? Keaton: Who you going to call? *somewhere at the top of the Clock Tower* Remote 2.0: The sun is too bright. I like the night time. Tael: It is kind of nice. *Thats when Taels phone starts to ring.* Remote 2.0: What sorcery is this?! Tael: Thats just my phone. Relax. *Tael answers the phone.* Tatl: Tael, Im being forced to help Lewa answer a question to win money. Tael: Hey I totally forgot I had a phone! Tatl: You know me, too. When did we get phones? Lewa: I need help here? Tatl: Okay could you ask Remote if he knows what is the name of the King of Darkness? Tael: I can try. Remote 2.0: I overheard the question. I refuse to answer not only because I dislike that hero, but I do not know it. *Thats when a much larger presence takes a hold of Remotes thoughts and actions* Elithas voice: Chancellor Teridax. Tael: Wow, Remote, what a lovely speaking voice you have all of a sudden. Elithas voice: Uh just help the hero, I, uh changed my mind. Lewa: Okay, Im going with the mysterious female voice. Keaton: That is correct! Tatl: Well, we just spoiled another part of the story for ourselves Keaton: Answer me this. Where do you get the Circus Leaders mask? Lewa: O_O uh-oh. I forget. Keaton: Well, then you lose. Good day to you, sir. Lewa: But what about-- Keaton: I said good day! *Keaton disappears, leaving Lewa very sad and Tatl slightly annoyed.* Tatl: Now can we go look for Kafei? Lewa: *sighs* Im on it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now for a project I've wanted to work on, but Skyward Stooge got in the way. So, here is the intended spoof of the Wind Waker, which is, funny enough, being re-released later this year. One of my personal favorite games, but you probably don't want to hear about that. So, here's the preview. This is all subject to change. This is merely a shortened version of what the story will be, so some details are left out. Bionicle: The Wimp Waker *Somewhere on Outset Island, there was going to be something big going down* Idris: Wake up, big brother! Lewa, getting up: Please exit my life and never return. Idris: I just drank 28 gallons of soda. Lewa: Thats really deep-interesting. Not. Why are you here? Idris: Grandma said shes got your birthday present. Lewa: You mean nothing? Like every year before? Idris: Yeah. And when I asked her, she kicked me out of the house. Lewa: Then annoy-bug the neighbors. Idris: I dont think they like me. Lewa: Youre weird. Give me the telescope. Im going to look at things while you ramble on. *As Idris rambles on with her semi-non-coherent rambling, Lewa sees a giant mutant Nivawk with something in its claws, as well as a pirate ship shooting at it. What caught Lewas attention was a Toa of water in the talons of the bird. As the bird was hit by the cannons of the ship, the girl was released and she fell to her doom.* Lewa: Well, thats not something you see every day. Look at the fat bird. Idris: You should go over there and help the girl. Lewa: Youre still here? Well, you might be right. And she does look cute. Idris: Cuter than me? Lewa: Yes. Its not that difficult, you know. Even that Toa Tuyet I read about is cuter than you. *Lewa went up the boring path to the top of the mountain where he met this newcomer who didnt actually fall to her doom. She just fell a very long ways.* Lewa: Who are you? Nera: I could ask you the same thing. Lewa: Common island dweller. Nera: Okay. So where am I? Lewa: Outset Island. And hey, Im asking the questions here! Brutaka: Miss Nera, I finally found you. Nera: Doh, Brutaka, I thought I told you to never go blurting out stuff. Brutaka: Im sorry, Miss Nera, but you know how I get when Im hungry. Nera: Ill let you off. *Another boring walk later.* Lewa: So who are you? Brutaka: Im a pirate. Nera: Brutaka! Lewa: Hes a pirate? Brutaka: Im a pirate. Nera: Stop talking! Both of you! Brutaka: Were all pirates. Nera: Oh, Brutaka, youre so slow in the head. Idris, from afar: Big brother! Lewa: Oh, its you. Hey, I found some pirates. Nera: No, Im not. Brutaka: Yes, you are. *Nera smacks Brutaka on the head and Brutaka cries out.* Brutaka: Is there anyone out there as unlucky as me? *In the irony of his words, the giant bird swoops in and takes Idris.* Idris: Bye, big brother! Lewa: Oh, no, you dont, you stupid bird! Youre not going to force me on some epic trek-quest! *Lewa runs off the edge of a cliff (SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER!!), but Nera grabs him before he falls.* Nera: By the goddesses, youre a moron *Somewhere in the heavens* Nayru: Think we should have chosen someone else to be our hero? Din: Maybe we should stop choosing them like this. Farore: Puppies make me smile! Nayru and Din: Shut up, Farore! Well, that's it for me. Some of this you will see in the near future, others you won't see for a while. Hope you enjoyed. That is, if you enjoyed at all... Because otherwise I figure I might as well retire for good and not go back to writing on here... Because I can do that if you'd all prefer that. I know my writing is awful and my characters are terrible, so that is fine. Never the less, I guess I shall see yen later. Bye. Hydraxon: A cold fall evening that started out peaceful quickly turned horrific when a well-beloved author dropped off the face of the planet without a trace. What has happened to him? Where could he be? What will become of the story of Bionicle? I'm Hydraxon, and I am not a crook. Join me, and you could help me solve a mystery...

Ironically in my trade topic, I have a Macku mask up for grabs. As for everything else, not entirely. I have one of those angle pieces, but in white.

Okay, well this one is an old one, but I still like it. This was initially for a BZPower contest back in the old days with the prompt of the story that involved three Matoran, a Manas, and a disgusting end that was never disclosed in the actual story. I wrote something silly along those lines, but I never submitted it because around that time, I was unsure if my writing was "good" anymore. However, that was the old me, and the new me says "hey, why not?" This story is kind of random, so it's random enough to fit in this collection of short stories based around the Dimwit of Time universe. It was even reworked to fit into that universe. It takes place in The Moron's Mask, so it took place BEFORE Lewa's Halloween II if you want to put it on a timeline. And also to note, in the alternate Alma Nui universe, instead of being a smart and shy little bookworm, Nixie is kind of dim and ditzy. Weird. Only in opposite land. So this Nixie is the total opposite of the Metru Nui Nixie who's the shy, quiet librarian girl. *It had been another day on the job for the delusioned Toa of Air Lewa, doing whatever quests he could do without messing up in a major sort of way thanks to what little of his mind hadn't been driven insane after he defeated Antroz. Now, though, he decided he would take a day off and relax at the Milk Bar. With his fairy friend Tatl with him, he walked in, met with som very soothing ambiance... courtesy from a guy playing jazz music on a piano and... a blond singer girl... who looks oddly familiar singing right up on stage. I guess call her the "Natalie" of this parallel universe.**people applauding.*Natasha: Thank you. Okay, this song is for all of those lonely hearts out there, struggling to keep holding on.*That's when Bomonga, the guy at the piano starts up again and Natalie, or I mean "Natasha" starts singing again.*Lewa: You know, something, Navi, I bet there's nothing better than taking a rest-break here in the milk bar.Tatl: Really, and how do you figure that?Lewa: Look around, see for yourself. We're in good company, we've got swell music, and the ever-hawt Natalie singing at the helms.Tatl: Um, her waitress nametag says "Natasha."Lewa: But that's not how you pronounce Natalie, Navi.Tatl: And for the last time, my name it Tatl!Lewa: Oh, Navi, you so crazy.Tatl, groans: Whatever. Lewa: I don't think there's a single soul here who could ever feel down in a great place like this.Iruini: I hate my life.Lewa: What?! Luigi, what do you mean?Iruini: How many times do I have to tell you I am not this Luigi, I am the hard-working Iruini. How difficult can it be for your simple mind to get someone's name right?Tatl: I'm right there with you.Natasha, singing: Don't wanna be your lover... oh-whoa...But I could be your remedy... oh-oh... I don't wanna be your lover... oh-whoa... But I could be your remedy, your cure...Lewa: That Natalie has the sweetest voice there is.Iruini: Her name is Natasha, but while I agree with you, not even her beautiful voice can cheer me up. She is every bit as good as her mother, Ingrid... but it is still no use for me.Lewa: What's the matter with you?Iruini: If you must know, my girlfriend left me and stole my house from me because I'm so unbelivably poor. I tried to sell Vhisola for money, but that didn't work very well. So now here I am. And to believe it all started that fateful day when that amnesic guy in green ran off with my shield and messed me up...Lewa, hides Iruini's shield: Yeah, that sounds like a crying shame.Iruini: And to top it all off, my video game Iruini's Mansion was complete and total failure. It's almost as though it's a lost cause to try and make it in the video game world... don't you agree, Norik?Norik, from behind the bar: Actually, Super Norik Galaxy sold really well. In fact, it sold so well, I have a lot of money! I've got so much I can afford to open up a bar that sells nothing but milk! Best idea ever.Iruini: I hate you. Gaaki always liked you the best. Where is my chance for love?! At least I, the hard-working Iruini, can just listen to Natasha and her songs of heartbreak to ease my troubled soul.Lewa: But Natalie's songs are happy and filled with love!Iruini: I'm not sure who this Natalie girl is, but I don't care much about love right now.Lewa: You know what can quick-cheer you up?Iruini: Financial security, that's what.Lewa: No, how about a story?Iruini: How about NO?Lewa: Too bad, I'm going to tell it anyway. Everyone else wants to hear it.Tatl: No.Norik: No.Bomonga: No.Natasha: No.Remote 2.0: NO.Happy Mask Salesman: Shake shake shake.Lewa: Great! You'll ever-love it so much. I call it "Adventure in the Underground City..."Lewa, voice-over: Once upon a time there was a city. And it was underground. And there were three Matoran friends. One was a big-brain Matoran. One was a big-brawn Matoran. And one was a girl Matoran, the ones I like the most.Nixie: Hey, guys, I just got some news.Talvi: What is it?Nixie: Grandma is sick and wants to see us.Midak: So then what do you want us to do?Nixie: I got this silver bucket of BEEF JERKY ready so we can take it to her.Talvi: Why that?Nixie: Because I like it. Midak: Always thinking about yourself.Nixie, blushing: Yeah, thanks. So let's go!Lewa, voice-over: So the three Matoran friends/siblings or whatever they may be loaded up an Ussal cart and they began to head to Grandma's house. But they were not alone. They were being close-watched by something bad.Manas: Did someone say BEEF JERKY?! *The Manas then begins to scurry has far as its tread-legs could take it, out of the city and on the way to Grandma's house.*Lewa, voice-over: So the Manas crab took the high-road as the Matoran took the low-road and he eventuall made it to Grandma's house before they did. When he did, he knocked at the door.Grandma, in bed: Who's there?Manas: It's me, Granny.Grandma: Oh, my!Manas: Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm scary. Whoo. Now I'm bigger than you and I want some BEEF JERKY! So Get in my belly!Grandma: Well, if you insist.Lewa, voice-over: And after a long period of swallowing the old lady completely in one whole-swallow, the creature was successful.Grandma: It's awful dark in here and what is this squishy thing?Manas, screams: That's my kidney! I only have two of those, so take it easy! (to himself) Now I have to hurry before those three twerps get here. Grandma: What is this stuff?Manas: That's just my digestive juices... keep it up, and you'll be digested in no time. *The crab slaps on a disguise and jumps into the bed, and no sooner do the Matoran arrive.*Grandma: Who's there?Manas: Hey, keep it down, I'm the Granny here! (elderly voice) Come in, my children.Nixie: hey, Grandma, we brough you something!Manas: That's splendid, thank you for being so considerate.Talvi: You look different.Manas: That's silly, you should recognize your own Grandma! Remember all those times we spend picking strawberries in the summer?Midak: Yeah, don't be silly, of course it's Grandma!Talvi: What big eyes you have... they're almost as big as dinner plates.Manas, getting annoyed: Okay, yes, big eyes, big teeth, and a big appetite! Now give me that bucket!Lewa, voice-over: So the Manas leapt into the air, the digestive juices coming from its mouth thanks to its before-meal snack.Nixie: ew! You have a serious drooling problem, Grandma. And your breath smells like hot dogs... old hot dogs!Talvi, facepalm: What does Takua see in you? Lewa, voice-over: So then thinking quickly, Talvi took the bucket from Nixie, taking it to Midak.Talvi: You're better at this, throw this right into that thing's nasty mouth.Midak: you sure?Talvi: Yes! Trust me!Lewa, voice-over: So using his super-awesome athletic skills, Midak threw the bucket straight into the creatures ugly-mug!Manas, groaning: Oh... you know, I think I'm going to cut back on the beef... *groans.**That's when the Manas crab explodes, all those digestive juices splattering out everywhere, filling the whole house. In fact, the house actualyl burst from being filled with so much fluid. Midak landed on his bottom, Nixie landed on Midak, Talvi landed on Nixie, and Grandma landed on Talvi. Then the bucket landed on Grandma's head.*Grandma, laughing: Oh, that was the most fun I had in years. I'm feeling much better now!All 3 Matoran: XDGrandma: But you do realize you owe me a new house, right?All 3 Matoran: :(Lewa: The end!Iruini: That was the most horrible story I've ever heard. Plus, I think I'm gonig to have nightmares for a week of gross, digestive acidic fluids.Lewa: I'm sure everyone else liked my story.Norik: You'd lose that bet.Natasha: Oh, hi, sorry, I just went to go pick up my dry cleaning. Did I miss anything?Bomonga: Only the weirdest story you'd ever hear...

Oh, all right. Well, I mean since the series expands from the original series and those spin-offs. And yes, the Nicktoons channel stopped at the end of season 1, the whole Dungeon Dice Monsters sub-arc.

I'll admit it. However, I'm more of a fan of the old school Yugioh. I never got into GX or anything beyond that. I don't know why. Probably because I was never able to watch the shows all that much. I was able to watch the original anime all right. Except for season 5. Back in the day, I used to always try to watch the show whenever it was on. I'm glad Nicktoons is showing it again. Although I'm sad they stopped at the end of season 1 since I really want to see the other episodes again, too. Oh, well, never the less it's good to be able to watch the show again. Hopefully they will show the other episodes and maybe throw in GX and 5D's as well. I've heard nothing but negative feedback on Zexal. I can't say if the show is good or not since I haven't seen an episode of it. I know it's on Nicktoons, too, but I just haven't been able to see it.

I guess I will go with the 29th.

I will have to figure that one out for later. Unfortunately we don't since I live in the south-eastern US, but oh well. All right, well here is my updated picture list. Ackar is still available, mint condition. There are some opened Knight Kingdom cards still in good condition. I'm also selling an unopened package of it, so I can't exactly tell you which cards are in it. I assume there might be duplicates, as there is one I can confirm is in the unopened package that is one of the opened ones, that would be one of the Shadow Knights ones. Also, in those pictures is a semi-custom part I made for an attempt at a movie Ackar. Not sure if anyone would want it, but it's there. It's not going to be worth extra, so don't worry about that. Or if you want to have a regular Ackar helmet, just let me know and I'll try to remove all of that. It's a sharpie. I've also added some traditional Lego parts as well. I haven't had too much of a use for them, I've tried to use them, but I really can't. So if anyone wants those, left me know as well. They are added here. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5214.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5227.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5250.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5251.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5252.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5253.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5254.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5255.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5256.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5257.jpg And then the Kreon Crankstart is still available if anyone wants him. Otherwise I'll keep him. He's complete with all pieces, I just keep him in Robot mode.

I am in the USA, and I can't really ship internationally. So if I can figure out what the postage is to ship such pieces, then we could work something out. In the last trade I did, since we both were shipping I didn't say anything about paying postage. Since only I would be shipping something, that kind of changes things. But let me reiterate, I will keep all the pieces between the both of you that you've asked for or shown interest. Between now and whenever either of you decide what you want to do, then we can make some sort of negotiation. All right, well now I'm going to update my brickshelf and majhost galleries to reflect the changes and additions made to what it is I have up for offer. In the words of Jim Carey, "Clearance Sale. Everything MUST GO." I really wish to make space and get rid of these pieces I haven't had a use for in a long time. Plus, I'm also trying to find all the collectable Lego Minigures I missed out on.

Interesting start. Also a unique take on how the toys are alive and they have their own thoughts and feelings that the "giants" don't know about. People have done a lot with the whole "senile Turaga" idea, but I don't mind and I like it. I can still imagine Onewa with the hammer hitting Pohatu. Well, good start. I shall keep an eye on this one.

That part with the poster was one of my favorite parts. I remember reading somewhere Vhisola actually had a poster of Nokama. O_O I just played with that. Well, Disciple, glad to hear you liked it. I thought it'd be fun to show a lighter side of Nidhiki. And I'm kind of the same way. Ironically, one of my Bionicle fan characters is a shy, reserved librarian girl. She (her name is Elitha), Nixie, and Naho could be study friends. Well, you won't have to wait for the update any longer. Although, Karzahni won't really be the main focus of the episode, ironically. He's still mentioned in there, but... you know what, let's just get on with the new episode. Sorry for the wait. Hydraxon: In the eve of one cold night, there had been reports of various deaths that all had something in common. Tonight we investigate those deaths and try to uncover these mysterious motivations behind them. I’m your host, Hydraxon, and I am not dead. Join me, and you might be able to help me solve a mystery. *insert “Bionicle: Unsolved Mysteries” title sequence.* Hydraxon: The following information was provided to us by an anonymous tip. Upon the murder of Karzahni, another murder had been reported. It had been the murder of the original ruler of the Matoran Universe, the insanely hideous Tren Krom. Mutran, insane pointy-headed lab geek Mutran: The mere sight of him drove me insane. There was nothing I could do. Kopaka, strategic specialist and loser in love Kopaka: He was literally shattered into pieces when Pohatu and I found him. The murderer left practically nothing. I don’t even know if it was Lesovikk at this point anymore. Pohatu, weapon specialist, napkin collector, local athlete Pohatu: If it was Lesovikk, he would have needed something with a lot of fire power to not only one-shot kill Tren Krom, but shatter him into absolutely nothing. Kopaka: But before we even found the remains, something hit us. It was like a mental picture. Or like a scream… Pohatu: It still doesn’t make sense to me, no matter how much I look at it. I mean, it was this… big red thing. Hydraxon: Unfortunately, we were unable to speak any further with our two correspondents, as no sooner did they finish their interview, they were spirited away by some unknown being who looked like a walking garbage heap. There are several eyewitness sketches on what this creature looks like. *The screen then cuts to pictures of Trinuma, then Spiriah, then THE MIGHTY TUMA!!!, and then Christopher Walken.* Hydraxon: The question is now a matter of who is behind the kidnapping, and what are their motives for doing so? It has also now become questionable as to who could be the real murderer who took down Karzahni and Tren Krom, as well as who are the next possible victims? Toa Helryx, Order of Mata Nui Leader Helryx: If you ask me, the murderer is obviously a deviant. They are most likely trying to either prove some warped point, or they point blank want to get rid of any powerful being who could stand in their way of domination and rule. That’s just me. I could be wrong. Makuta Miserix, last survivor of Makuta race and total nutjob Miserix: You wanna know how I got to look like this? Well, you see, I worked as a cashier at this little shop on the corner in my younger years. My boss always told me if I kept my head up, I might be someone someday. Well, one afternoon, this cute young girl walked in. She told me I had a great smile. She and I got to know each other for a little bit. But then… this insane robber guy walks in. He scares her, and I didn’t like that. So I tell him off, but know what he does? He orders me to give him all the money and he throws he into the back of the store. That… didn’t settle well with me. So I just… *he puts his hands on his head, and moves it up to symbolize his increase in height. He then makes a jaw with his hands to symbolize his transformation into a giant reptile.* Miserix: So then I hate him! And then I ate my boss because he came in and tried to hit me with a shovel. I looked over to the girl… she’s scared to death of me! She runs out, screaming and telling me to stay away from her! And now… now I’m always smiling. Vezon, no description needed Vezon: Really? Well, it’s about time someone realized how great I am! I mean, it only took you guys long enough. Wow, so you consider me a powerful being. You know, no one really cared about who I was until I put on a mask. And then they didn’t care about me until I put on another mask. Well, better late than never, I guess. Whoever this murderer guy is, I wanna meet him. I’ll be sure to give him a nice, big hug when I do! Axonn, not Hydraxon’s Brother Axonn, foreign accent: I say bring on the little baby man! I will personally take him down myself! And justice! Brutaka, should be on probation Brutaka: Sparklies!!! The Sparklies are everywhere! Mata Nui is just a giant robot! Makuta’s real name is Teridax! Toa Tuyet? Wait, why isn’t she dead? Tuyet: Hey, y’all. It’s mighty sweet of you to say I’m a powerful being. Lhikan and Nidhiki never saw it that way. I’m kinda sad to hear they’re both dead. I really did want to see them again. That way I could get back at Lhikan for tearin’ out my heart! How dare he treat me after I gave him the best years of my life! But that’s all done and gone. Well, whoever this bandit is, I only hope he knows who he’s messin’ with. ‘Cause this time, I ain’t messin’ around. Hydraxon: After talking with possible candidates for victims, we asked around about anyone who might have known about Karzahni. We spoke to Makuta Mutran before his untimely demise and have preserved part of his interview when he contacted us about reporting something strange. Mutran Mutran: I saw the universe. I discovered the secrets. Our fearless leader was nothing compared to this guy. He probed my mind. He shared his wisdom with me. And then he threw me into a dumpster. So I told Teridax exactly what I learned. I never saw Tren Krom again. Gali, healing expert Gali: I have only heard whispers and rumors about him, but I’ve never actually seen him. You know, we sent Lewa out to find him, but he has yet to actually return to us… I personally thought he was a mysterious mythological creature wrapped in an enigma. Tahu, fire expert Tahu: A what? Gali: How about “it’s fake?” Turaga Matau, crazy old coot who’s supposed to be wise about stuff Turaga Matau: It reminds me of the time I was interviewed on Unsolved Mysteries Turaga Vakam, wise elderly figure type Turaga Vakama: Contrary to popular belief, Tren Krom is in fact real. One more thing. The mere sight of him will drive you insane beyond repair. So I highly advise to never look at him directly, unless you wish to throw away your mind and sanity. Velika, whimsical rhyming genius/nutjob Velika: I didn’t kill them! I, uh… I mean… hey, kids, who wants to follow me to the creepy statue? Hydraxon: What could this red object be in the vision shared by Pohatu and Kopaka? Who or what is this mysterious being who spirited them away? Are we alone in the universe? Who is the real killer of Karzahni and Tren Krom? So many questions with answers we know so little about. If you or anyone has anything to report, please contact us. Coming up next, the tragic downfall of Makuta Miserix. How did it happen and who was in the coup that brought him down? Later, the return of a fugitive Toa thought to have been long gone. All that and more coming up next.

That, and I also mentioned a few times I would put them on hold either way since you both were interested in them. I'm sorry if you felt like I wasn't paying any mind to you, but yes, I was just negotiating as well. And also I wasn't really expecting someone to simply "buy" just these pieces. I must warn you if you simply buy these pieces, you will have to pay for postage. I didn't for the previous trade I made since we were both making an exchange and both paying postage. Also, for just these pieces is kind of iffy to me. To be honest, I'm almost unsure of just those pieces and then they charge me to send just a small amount. What I'm really trying to do is get rid of all these pieces here, and even then there's still more I have yet to post. I haven't had a use for them in almost years and they're taking up space. I don't mean to sound "pushy," but I really want to get rid of A LOT of these pieces. A LOT. And it is redundant to send out a few parts.

Here is the final act of the story. Although not the end of the topic. I'm going to keep using this topic for the rest of the spin-offs and related stories to the Dimwit of Time series. There's one in particular I'm going to put here, and it's actually referenced in this act. TD: Lewa's Halloween II: Act III *Time passed as Nixie and Elitha hung out. Elitha received lessons from her and she slowly started to return to her shy, timid self. Sometime after trying to make Elitha be more demure and peaceful, it was time for Midna and Lewa to put her to the test by taking her back into the party where everyone was trying to boogie down.* Malum: Cuz this is THRILLER! Midna: Who is he again? Lewa: If he wasn’t in the main story, he’s not important enough. Midna: Then what about Nixie? Lewa: I dunno. She probably was meant to have some special-main role if the author included her here as a consolation. Elitha: Look how high my feet come off the ground…! Midna: You sure she’s ready? Lewa: Of course she is. Look how excited she is. *Elitha screams as she lifts her foot up slightly higher than before, dropping to the ground and crawling to Lewa.* Midna: Yeah… really excited. Well, we could take her over there. *Midna points over to where Fyer has his giant miniature cannon like the one in Lake Hylia. Wait, how can something be a giant miniature?* Lewa: No… not the clowns again! You know how I feel about clowns! Elitha: Clowns?! Where?! *screams* Midna: Get over it, you two. *Midna shoves Lewa and Elitha towards Fyer.* Fyer: Hey there, fella. Ladies. Midna: Hello… I want you to give these two a flight. Fyer: Wait, how do you know about that? Midna: I’m friends with Lewa, you know. Fyer: Well, that makes sense. Well, take them in here. This one’s on me. *He winks at Midna… making her uncomfortable.* Midna: Yeah… you’re not creepy at all. *So she shoves them both into the cannon, Fyer gets on his bicycle whatchamahoozit contraption, starts a-peddling, and stars the scary music as the cannon roars to life, rotates around, shooting them both towards a lone house full of chickens… oh, dear.* Falbi: HAI. Elitha and Lewa: AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! *Moments later…* Midna: So how’d it go? Lewa: Now I’m scared of Onu-Matoran and clowns! Elitha: I didn’t think we’d ever get away! Midna: So what did you do? Lewa: Elitha got so high-scared, she turned the clown into a Fikou spider. *Elitha giggles as she taps on the bottle that house the Fikou spider named Falbi.* Elitha: I’ll call him… Spot. Midna: Uh… okay, bad idea. Let’s find something else. Rusl: Hello there, Lewa. Lewa: What’s up, weird-freak? Rusl: I told you, I have a name you know! Lewa: So what is it? Rusl: After so many years, I finally learned my name. It’s Rusl. Lewa: Okay, good to know that. Now if only we could know what to call The Shadowed One. The Shadowed One: This is ludicrous! I’m not even featured in this series, and yet you’re mentioning me?! Lewa: Who said you weren’t featured in this series? *gives sly look.* TSO: I’m leaving here! Elitha: Who’s that powerful-looking villain with the slight accent? Lewa: That is another story for another day. Rusl: Now that he’s out of the way, how about you try about my carnival game? It’s called “Bobbing for Pumpkins.” Lewa: Pumpkins? Midna: How could you do something so horrible?? *They look over to the tub of pumpkins in water, as well as various Matoran failing to get them.* Rusl: I had to since I ran out of ideas for games. Midna: No, I mean how could you do it? The mechanics behind it are just impossible. Lewa: Yeah. You cannot whole-grab a pumpkin like that. *Elitha tries, but she falls into the tub of water. She later pops back out, but apparently she has drained the water.* Rusl: Well, there goes that one. I guess there’s always the hayride. Nuju: I’ll be in charge of the hayride. I call it “Toa Nuju’s Haunted Hayride.” *Nuju then takes a bite out of an apple, which makes Elitha scream in fear as Nuju stares at her with a look that says “I don’t care.”* Lewa: Somehow it’s not very haunted. Nuju, sad: You’re right… Truth is I don’t know how to make it any more haunted that it is. I’m so ashamed. Lewa: It’s all right, Nuju. We all make mistakes. Sarda: It’s Princess Elitha, and she’s going to drag us into the shadows! *The various Matoran go running off screaming.* Elitha: W-w-w-what? No! Please, come back! I only wish to make friends with everyone. But with haunted hayrides, scary clowns, and strange people who don’t know their own names… Rusl: My name is Rusl!! Elitha: Everything is just so overwhelming… *Elitha starts to have a headache and she staggers and she puts a hand to her forehead.* Midna: Elitha? Are you okay? *And that’s when we can say bye-bye to shy, nervous Matoran (in spirit) Elitha and hello to insane, wicked, Shadow Toa Elitha (again).* Elitha: No, Princess Midna. I am most definitely not okay. Midna: Come on, what did we say about raising your voice. Elitha: People talk loud when they want to sound important. I am doing just that! Since you all refuse to accept me as a friend, then perhaps you will accept me as a conqueror! *At that moment, Elitha takes her pet “Spot,” duplicates him, and releases the multiplying spiders upon everyone like a plague.* Elitha: Is that haunted enough for you? *Nuju runs around screaming as the spiders crawl on him.* Lewa: I’d say that’s definitely more haunted. Midna: Do something before she gets out of control! Lewa: No way. I don’t want to end up being hocus-pocused into something freaky or scary. Elitha: Fly, my lovelies! *Elitha uses her powers to bring the pumpkins to life as some weird bat/pumpkin hybrids with Jack-o-lantern faces, unleashing them on everyone to cause fear and disaster.* Lewa: Well, I could try to talk to her… Um, Elitha? Elitha: Oh… Lewa… it is you… Lewa: Yeah. Listen, could you let down on the scare-frights? It’s not exactly helping everyone like you more. Elitha: Do you not see how no matter what I do, I will not be accepted? Lewa: But it’s not your fault. This is just an island city of morons. Elitha: No matter… I grow faint. I must leave now… But fear not, Lewa. I won’t bring any harm to you or Princess Midna. *And with that, Elitha disappears into the shadows. The moment she does, the spiders go away and the pumpkins become non-sentient again.* Midna: Okay, well looks like whatever we call this holiday is a disaster and everyone is miserable. What are we going to do now? Lewa: We’re going to Diznee Land! Midna: Disney Land? Lewa: No, Diznee Land. Midna: Uh… I won’t even ask. Look, I think it’s best we go try and find her before she hurts herself. Lewa: Probably. Who knows what she might get herself into…? Midna: Where else would she go? Lewa: The Statues? She did say they were her only friends. Midna: It’s a start, I guess. *Later at the creepy statue…* Lewa: Oh, look, there she is. Midna: Wow. I’m impressed. You actually got that right. Lewa: Elitha! There you are! Elitha, crying: Go, away, Lewa… I’d rather you not see me like this… All sad and broken-hearted. Lewa: Nonsense. Maybe a story will help. It’s one told by my ancestor, the Hero of Time. Midna: I… don’t think she’d want to hear that. Lewa, sad: Okay. So then what? Midna, giggles: I have an idea. A wonder, awful idea. Lewa: What is it? Midna: If it’s scaring they want, it’s scaring they get. Elitha: But how will that make them like me? Midna: You’ll see! Metus: That’s my line. *Midna takes the time to banish him to the Zone Where Normal Things Don’t Happen Very Often.* *So after feeling sorry for themselves, everyone one in Metru Nui gathered all their candy and dumped them in front of the statue of Elitha. And some people brought sandwiches to put in front of the statue of the King of Darkness so he wouldn’t come after them either. He has a big appetite.* Teridax: Oh, I do not! *He takes a chomp his fifth sandwich for that day.* *Anyways, so they put the food in front of the statues. Idris was one of the last ones.* Idris: Good bye, candy… *There was a bone-chilling breeze as Idris was about to leave. Then she heard Elitha’s voice…* Elitha: Citizens of Metru Nui! You are wise to leave behind this sweet feast for me! Now I shall devour it instead of feasting upon your souls! *That’s when Idris looked behind her to see the statue was no longer there, but the real Elitha instead, her eyes glowing red like her father’s eyes and her body shrouded in pure shadow.* Idris: It’s the Princess of Darkness! *Everyone who was still there ran off screaming. When they did, Elitha made the shadow go away and forced her eyes to stop glowing red, but instead her natural green.* Elitha: I’m not sure if that was what you wanted me to do. Midna, laughing: No, that was perfect! Trick or treat, little whelps! Lewa: That was… kinda mean. Elitha: I can’t help but agree. Idris: Um… Miss Princess Elitha? Elitha: ??? Idris: Do you think you could do this again next year? It was really fun. Elitha: Wait, you liked that? You Matoran are weird. Then again, I used to be one, but somewhat different. Idris:Really? Elitha: Yes, but my origin is another story. So why is it you like being scared? Idris: It’s fun. That’s what Halloween used to be about… before you tried to kill us with the moon. Why are you obsessed with the moon anyway? Elitha: Eh, it’s the closest celestial body around here that I can use. Plus it’s really pretty at night. Idris: So will you do it? Elitha: Well, I guess I’ll have to make plans for next year. Idris: All right! You’re my favorite villain in the Dimwit of Time series! *Idris happily runs back to everyone, telling them Elitha would return for next year.* Lewa: That was totally unexpected. Midna: See, Lewa? On Halloween, it’s all about being scary. Lewa: Okay, you got me on that one. Midna: So, how does it feel for having everyone like you, Elitha? Elitha: I feel… slightly better now. This is great! People love me! Lewa, quietly: Only for fright-scaring them. Midna, quietly: You try something else, then! Lewa, aloud: Well, I guess in the end, everything worked out. Elitha: This spin-off was fulfilling, yet totally pointless! Midna: And we have no loose ends left to cover. *somewhere in the empty field outside the Coliseum…* Antroz: Is someone going to call me an ambulance? I’m seriously dying over here… *Back with the gang, all three of them laugh happily as the story draws to a close.* Teridax: Seriously, my “daughter” gets a holiday and I don’t?! What do I need to do to get some respect around here?! That’s it, I’m done with you all.

All right, that sounds good. I guess we will have to discuss that in better detail. Okay, well I guess regardless of who wants them, I'll put the two masks on reserve since you both want them. The body is actually already taken from the previous trade. The arms, however are still available. So sans the red body, I will take it you want the pieces that appear in those two pictures. Yea, I'd like the arms then. Regarding the masks, I only want the Kongu and Matoro ones (not Maku/Macku). Anyway, which minifigs that I have do you want? Edit: If you have one of these in lime green I'd be interested in that too. okay, arms it is. And all right, those masks will be on hold. the keychain sounds interesting. And maybe the power miners ones. After looking around in my bins, turns out I do have one of those. I was on the bridge on selling/trading it, but I guess I will just do that since I haven't had a use for it. So in that case, I'll include it in the new batch of pictures.

Okay, with that one I'll have to think on that. At least to me, it seems sort of low... All right, I guess I will put them on hold regardless. Which parts specifically. The ones with Jaller/Jala are no longer available as I traded them with T.B.O.C in our initial deal. What ones of the Power Miners do you have?

All right, well this is the first time I ever set up a topic like this, so bear with me. Hello, everyone, I'm here with some pieces and items that I feel I no longer have a need or use for, so I'm going to put them up for trade. Before we get to that, I want to point out that a part of this is actually a continuation of a deal originally started in this topic: http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=8257&hl= Long story short, we already made a deal on some of the pieces that I have up for grabs. Ergo, some of the pieces in the pictures in my gallery are spoken for, so I will post up a list of those pieces. Most likely, I will post up a new updated gallery, but for now here is the basic bulk of it. I'm not going to ship internationally, so my deepest apologies to anyone from out of the United States who views this topic, but as I said I'm still very new to this whole process and shipping in general. Gallery Folder For now, here is the gallery folder, but it isn't public as of right now. Skip to this post for the updated list: http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=9384&p=535409 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5214.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5215.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5216.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5219.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5220.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5221.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5222.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5223.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5224.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/texaskid92/Trades/dscf5225.jpg And a list of the pieces that are spoken for or aren't up for grabs any longer: 1 Toa Metru Body (blue) (I didn't see this one has bit of wear and tear on it)1 Toa Metru Body (brown) (also has a bit of wear and tear on it)1 Toa Metru Body (green) (same as other two) 1 Green MiruBrown AkakuRed PakariLight Blue RauOrange HunaTan KomauLime Green KomauLime Green MahikiLime Green HunaTan MahikiTan MatatuLight Gray MatatuLight Gray RauOrange MatatuPurple PakariLight Blue Pakari + Jala Thok Spine 589 (1)619 (1)3 Silver Launchers1 White LaunchersGaaki Launcher piece (dkblue thing, the actual launcher is still available)two white headstwo brown bohrok feetMakuta Tube pieceLehvak Kal Krana Kal Everything else is fair game. For the most part, I'm kind of looking to trade but I'm also okay with buying/selling. All right, for those who wish to buy, just make your best offer. For example, I'm pretty much going for $1 per mask. Also, there are a few things i'm going to add sometime in the future. I'm going to add 2 Bionicle comics, the Ignition 1 and 2. And then I'm still unsure of how this works, but I've seen people sell things like transformers and video games on here. If so, then I may/may not have some stuff like that to offer as well. If anyone could let me know how that works, I would be very glad to know. For trades, what I really want would be the Lego Minifigures. I recently got into collecting them thanks to a friend. That said, virtually anything from when they first started to right now is fair game. There's a few that I do have and I will make note of those. I also have some on the way from the before-mentioned trade. For minifigures, I would say about 3 "normal" parts would be fine (eg, 3 masks for one figure), unless it's a smaller part, in which case this would change to something like 4-5 parts depending on what a person wants. There are some sets and pieces I would also be wanting to trade for, mostly from the Phantoka/Mistika era of Bionicle. And also, I'm still somewhat fuzzy on how this works as it isn't exactly Bionicle, but for any Hasbro fans, I'm also into the Kreon microchangers and I'm always looking for those. So I guess safe to say there's a few things I'm willing to trade for. I also have an extra Crankstart kreon, for example, but he's not pictured here. Like I said, though, I'll make sure to update what exactly is up for grabs. Be sure to let me know if you see anything and if we can work something out. *Key:SoldRecalledOn hold/ Reserved

Well, thing is... it isn't a "one off." The last ones bears the title of "Act I" in there. Plus I mean I don't know but should I be allowed a bad comedy now and again? Not to mention everyone in 2010 said my writing was awful, so it's nothing bad to be honest. With this topic in particular, I'm probably going to treat it like a scrap box in which it will feature these spin-off sort of episodic specials from the main series. There isn't too much of a plot going on for right now, since the only purpose these specials serve is to be random and make fun of how awful my writing is. In a sense, I'm sort of making fun of myself before anyone else can do that on here. Here is Act II where there's somewhat of a conflict introduced. And there is more randomness. As well as Skyward Stooge spoilers/references that no one shall understand because SS is not on here! XD TD: Lewa's Halloween II: Act II *Riding a chariot through the dark, thundering sky, the mysterious hooded figure soars over the surrounding town near the Coliseum where everyone else was gathered for the games and whatever else they were doing. Everyone stopped what they were doing, immediate stricken with fear as the figure leapt out of the chariot when lightning flashed. There was more horror as the figure pulled down their hood, revealing a young woman with ipod earbuds in her ears… oh, and she had the Mask of Death, too. That could only mean one thing…*Dume, gasp: It’s Jessica Alba!Vakama: No, you old coot. Tell me how she looks anything like Jessica Alba?[pause]Dume: What’s your point?*Meanwhile, Midna and Lewa made it back into town just in time to see the hooded figure reveal her identity to everyone and as she removed her earbuds.*Lewa: Elitha??Midna: I should have guessed… her fate really was unclear!Lewa: But remember this is a spin-off, so what happens in the main series doesn’t always apply.Midna: What is it with all these formalities? I suppose now you’ll tell me Zant is out there someplace playing with his dolls again.Lewa: Who knows? Or stuff could be going on that we’re not even aware of…*Somewhere in the Sacred Grove, in the ruins of the Temple of Time…**Roodaka’s dim-witted lieutenant Zhirika was laying on a stone slab, unconscious and surrounded by some monsters cosplaying as Great Beings. Then there was a sickly-pale being standing adjacent from here and in the middle of the monsters, only he was cosplaying as Maximillion Pegasus cosplaying as a Great being.*Monsters, chanting: Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-ChakaGhirahim: I can't stop this feeling deep inside of me. Girl, you just don't realize… what you do to me…*Back with Midna and Lewa…*Both: O_OMidna: What did I just see?Lewa: A very weird-freakish summoning, that’s what…*Elitha tosses away her cloak, making it fade into shadow as she takes flight and looks down on everyone below.*Elitha: Inhabitants of Metru Nui! I have come to you acknowledging the events that transpired here over 200 years ago and I wish to make amends with everyone. I come to you as a woman who wishes to coexist peacefully. Someone who yearns for your acceptance and admiration. Together, we can make a better life for all of us!*There is a long pause before everyone really lets her words soak in. Even then, they’re all still too afraid to say anything because it’s Elitha, the Princess of Shadow and bearer of the Mask of Death. Elitha gets back on the ground, confused.*Elitha: What is the matter with you all?*She points to Turaga Vakama, who shrinks away in fear. She then points to Velika, who hides behind Turaga Dume, who’s still convinced that’s Jessica Alba standing in front of him.*Dume: I loved you in that movie Into the Blue!Elitha: Um… I’ll be ignoring you now…*Elitha continues walking, randomly pointing at some Matoran, beckoning them to answer her, but they all cower in fear, thinking she’s going to do something horrible to them.*Elitha, hurt: Very, well… in that case, I’m going to leave you all… in a huff. And you won’t get any of the cookies I baked for you!*Elitha throws back her cape-wings and starts to walk away, trying to hide her tears from everyone else.*Lewa: I’m going to be her best friend…Midna: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Lewa… if memory serves me right, you were afraid of her and didn’t want her near you. Now all of a sudden, you want to be her friend? You Toa and Matoran are so hard to understand.Lewa: True… but now she’s being all nice and weepy now. The perfect chance to try and make her less insane and murderous! Midna: So you really think you can turn this girl’s mind?Lewa: Worth a shot. Plus for some reason I feel as though I owe it to her…Midna: Leave it to the author to briefly touch on a plot point that is explained further in the next story… Well, I don’t have anything better to do, anyway. *In the spooky woods with all the creepy statues, Elitha was kneeling out at the statues of herself and her “father,” taken by sadness and rejection.*Elitha: Oh, statue, you are my only friend.Lewa: Um, hello? Elitha? You might not think-recall but we met…Elitha: When you and I fought in the Coliseum. When I fought you through my puppet Lord Helmet. When you snapped me back to my senses and made me sacrifice myself to save you.Lewa: Okay, so you do remember…Elitha: Toa Lewa… Hero of Twilight. Chosen hero of the goddesses… how so many have worn that title before you…Lewa: Yeah, you kind of knew the Hero of Time.Elitha: As well as Hylia’s chosen hero…Lewa: What?Elitha: Oh, nothing. Nothing at all…Midna: You’re not telling us something…Elitha: No I’m not. Am I not making myself clear?Midna, sly: Oh, I’m sure you knew him all right…Elitha, blushing: I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.Lewa: Yeah, what are you talking about?Midna: Isn’t it obvious? Not only did she know him, but she had feelings for him.Lewa: Wait… *Lewa takes out a copy of Metru Nui Historia and goes to the Skyward Stooge section. He skims through it, seeing Hylia’s chosen hero, also named Lewa. Then he sees Elitha. And I won’t go any further because that would be spoilers.*Lewa: Well, this explains everything!Elitha, crying: Okay, it’s true! Midna, laughs: I had a feeling. Elitha and Lewa sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.Lewa: You don’t mean me, do you?Midna: No, I mean the other Lewa.Hero’s Shade: Me??Midna: No, the other other Lewa. What is it with the goddesses choosing anyone named “Lewa” as the hero every so often? This is going to be so confusing.Elitha: I’m so sorry… these years have been so stressful on me and I don’t know myself anymore.Lewa: Yeah. This book says you’re supposed to be a timid big-brain who’s very kind-loving. Yet you’ve tried to kill me and my ancestor.Elitha: Side effects of unrequited love?Lewa: That’s no reason to try and kill us both!Elitha, crying: That’s why I want to change! I want people to like me! But I don’t know how!Lewa: Well, today is your lucky day. I’m here to help you.Elitha: Really?Lewa: Yup. I’m going to help you learn how to be all nice and shy and bookish again.Elitha: I do kind of miss my old post as a librarian…Lewa: There you go! You’ll do great. You just have to stop trying to kill everything.Midna: Not to mention stop yelling… For someone who used to be so timid and soft-spoken, you’ve gotten so loud.Elitha: Yes, please teach me everything you can!Midna: Yelling?Elitha, softer: How is this?Midna: Better.Elitha, normal: And how about this.Midna: Very good. Now we just have to take her to a library. Which would that be around here? The Onu-Metru Archives?Lewa: I don’t think so…Midna: Tch. Right, I forgot your history with them. Then the Ga-Metru school?Lewa: Eh, close enough.Elitha: I’ll do my best.*Much later, the trio arrives in Ga-Metru’s library, which was complete with its own librarian…*Lewa: Nixie is the closest to being what you once were. She’s very sweet and kind and soft-spoken. And she’s blue! *Lewa knocks on the door.*Nixie: H-hello? Who’s there?*Nixie opens the door to see Lewa and Midna.*Nixie: Oh, Toa Lewa. Nice to see you, this evening. And Princess Midna. And Elitha.*That’s when Nixie realizes what she just said.*Nixie: Elitha?! *she screams and quickly slams the door on Lewa’s face.*Lewa: Don’t slam the door in my face! *Lewa grabs the doorknob to try and open the door, but to no avail.*Midna: I kind of thought this would happen.*Lewa puts on the Romani’s mask and tries to open the door again.*Lewa: Here’s my cow-face! Is this what you want?!Midna, sighs: You’re so dumb, yet you have your own kind of charm, actually…*Midna calmly goes to the window and uses her powers to take Nixie out of the library and plops her in front of Elitha.*Midna: I’m sure you already know who Elitha is, based on your reaction. Elitha, this is Nixie.Elitha: Hello.Nixie, shivering: H-h-h-hello…Midna: She needs your help returning to her old self again.Nixie: My help?Lewa: Yeah, see?*Lewa gives her the book and allows her to read the side-note on Elitha.*Nixie: Oh! I never knew that!Lewa: No one does.Nixie: Well, in that case…*Nixie takes Elitha’s hand and leads her into the library.*Elitha: I’m slowly feeling… at home again.Nixie: This will be so great! I’ve never had a study-buddy before! Now I can have someone to talk to about books I’ve read and someone who can help me around the library!Elitha: I’m already starting to feel so at home here. So many books and shelves… I’m… I’m feeling… so happy and overwhelmed.Midna: I think we found a match.Lewa: I hope so. I like her better this way.Midna: What about when she was all goofy from Zant’s insanity?Lewa: Not really.Midna: ‘Cause I liked her better that way, myself.

Okay, well here's another "director's cut" scene from TMM featuring Kamaro's mask. For those who read the main story, you'll know this mask was kind of important for Lewa to beat the main antagonist at the end. Yes, really. So I had to incorporate it into the main story somehow since it was going to play somewhat important role. Plus, it'll also explain why Lewa just didn't fly up the mountain after realizing he has two jets on his shoulders. I really wish Lego explored the possibilities of the adaptive armor more. Since they did not, I can sure do that. After all, armor that adapts to your environment and climate is beyond awesome. You could walk into a snowstorm and not worry about having a jacket. Or go diving underwater and not worry about having scuba diving gear. Kamaro’s Mask *After encountering a boulder blocking Milk Road (and after Tatl burned him with how no one would understand his references to 90’s TV), 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. *embarrassed 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. Lord of shadows: Seriously, why hasn’t Lego explored the whole concept of the Adaptive armor like they could have? So much potential here, all wasted… *facepalm* Tatl: So does that mean you’re going to fly us up there, or are we going to have to climb up the mountain? *Lewa attempts to carry Natalie, but when Tatl hangs onto him, for whatever reason, Lewa plummets down and into the snow.* Natalie, coughing: What was that all about? Lewa: Navi? Have you been overeating on the muffins again? Tatl: One, I’m not Navi. Two, I haven’t eaten any muffins since we got here. And why is it that you can fly fine with her, but you can’t fly with both of us? Lewa: Weird science. If only we had some Ko-Matoran big-brain to explain it to us… Nuju: Well, you see, according to the distribution of mass, the exact weight of the fairy according to the planet’s gravity-- Lewa: Who asked you?! Nuju: *walks away sadly.* *And with that, Lewa, Tatl, and Natalie make their way up the mountain. Somewhere in between, Natalie found time to dress warmly. Tatl did not need to do so since she is magical. And Lewa was a fool.*

I figured. I know I saw it either in an interview or some kind of posting, it was mentioned that Greg had a lot of names on the list, but he lost it after some moving was done. I almost imagine the Gold Skinned fusion's name was on there, but it's kind of a shame the list got lost. That would also mean that a lot of names that would have been assigned to certain characters are lost and they'd have to be named something else, if at all. But yeah, I doubt the creature would be named something as simple as what the prank interview suggests.

I know what you mean... my guess is that since nothing has really "happened" in a while, everyone's attention has gone off elsewhere. You bring a good point about the serials and how they haven't been continued in over a year. Not that I'm saying it's anyone's fault, but because of this lack of progression in the story, people kind of lost interest. The community is still there, but it's just not there in the same was as it was in the early days. I was a fan since 2001 and a BZP member since 2004, and I know back then things were hustling and bustling here. There was always talk of events in the story, theories and predictions of what might happen, debates and arguments on certain events and theories, and discussion of media like the novels, comics, and the movies and games. But since not all of that is going on anymore, things sort of calmed down. The movies are no longer made as the storyline ended (and that deal was transferred to the Hero Factory miniseries), there are no more games, the comics and books are no longer published, and so far since there hasn't been any kind of updates in the story, there isn't too much for members to discuss and debate. Granted, there are still those who theorize about things, but sadly it is uncertain if those theorists will ever be answered in the form of the serials or by a Q&A from GregF. I still remember a few people who theorized that the island of Mata Nui was the face of the Great Spirit who were told that it couldn't be possible. Well, a few years later, their theory was answered in the 2008 animations. And then as well like how people theorized the "green cloud" that became part of the gold-skinned fusion was either Zaktan or Teridax, and their question was answered in a Q&A by Greg that is was in fact Zaktan. All in all, the fans are still here. Some have moved on. Others still remain in the fanbase, awaiting the return of the story. I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm still waiting for the day Greg continues the serials and progresses the story. At the same time, I've kind of had to move on in my life as I'm in college now and there's new priorities I have to pay attention to. And I know a few other fans who have had to do the same thing. I've lost a lot of friends on here that I used to talk to a lot, but they either lost interest in the story altogether or they have had to just move on. Never the less, the spirit of Bionicle is still there as many others have pointed out. If Bionicle returns, that has yet to be determined. Personally, I'd like to hope it's a reboot of the story and not a continuation. The downfall came when newcomer fans were left confused when they had to refer back to a storyline of events that took place prior to them ever getting interested in Bionicle. Starting a new story from scratch can give the story a new start and bring in new fans, yet appeal to old ones in such a way that the spirit of the toyline they all knew and loved is still there and ready for a new generation.

Except for the part of being a concert pianist, everything else is exactly what happened in the game. You get the Bremen by listening to this guy's rant. Not joking. He joins an animal troupe, steals the Bremen Mask, and joins the circus performers. All right, now this next chapter is kind of a throw-away, as it reuses material from The Moron's Mask. However, there is some added dialogue in there so it's not a total waste. After I thought about it, there was more material I could have included in the original but didn't. So consider this like a "director's cut" version of the scene. The Mask of Scents *Meanwhile in the Deku Palace, as Lewa and Tatl were in the Woofall Temple racing back to the Deku Palace to tell the Deku King the great news of how his daughter was safe, the Deku King himself 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, all surprised: 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. Were your parents bored when they named you?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. Here, take this pig mask that makes you look like a pig.*Thus Lewa got the Mask of Scents.*Lewa: Okay... thanks? What does it do? Deku Butler: It makes you able to smell things that would go undetected by most noses. Lewa: You have this with you for what reason? Deku Butler: I just thought it looked fascinating. Plus my son wanted it. Lewa: Who was your son? Deku Butler: His name was Deku Butler’s Son. Lewa: Uh… where you bored when you named him? Deku Butler: Okay, Mr. Name Critic, what would you have named him?? Lewa: I don’t know him! What was he like? Deku Butler: He was kind of short. He had three leaves on his head. He liked to dress in green. And he mostly looked SO SAD. *Those last two words resonated in Lewa’s mind. That’s when he remembered the tree he saw before he got into Clock Town for the first time. It looked SO SAD. And it matched the description the Deku Butler had given. Not only that, but the tree very well looked a lot like Lewa’s Deku Scrub appearance…**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! Lewa: But making references to 90’s TV is fun! Tatl: It isn’t to me. Lewa: Aw, you’re no fun.

How long has it been since I made a chapter to this story? Too long... well, I'm going to try and remedy that now. Here is the third chapter in the Mask Chronicles. I won't delay any longer, since there's already been too many to count. The Bremen Mask *Sometime at night, Lewa and Tatl went wandering around South Clock Town--* Lewa: Clook Town. *SOUTH CLOCK TOWN when they heard some mysterious music being played from the direction of the laundry pool.* Tatl: What is that mysterious music noise? It’s… kinda catchy. Lewa: Say… I know that song! *Without any hesitation, Lewa ran up the stairs that led to the laundry pool with Tatl fluttering behind him, groaning in disapproval as she had no idea what Lewa was getting himself into.* *Upon entering the laundry pool, Lewa was met with a familiar face. Well, familiar to him, but seeing as this was a parallel universe where-- you know, never mind, I couldn’t explain this if I tried. * Guru-Guru: La dah-dah, la dah-dah dah da-da-da-dah. Dah dah da-da-dah, dah dah dah-dah-dah… Lewa: Hey, there, crazy windmill guy! Guru-Guru: Oh… Lewa: The name’s Nobudy. Guru-Guru: Okay. So I’m talking to Nobudy. Lewa: That’s right. *giggles under breath* Tatl: So what are you doing here? Guru-Guru: Ah! A talking light bulb! Lewa: That’s not a light bulb. That’s my fairy, Navi. Tatl: T-A-T-L. What does that spell? MY NAME! Lewa: But she brings up a good point. Why are you out here in the dark? Guru-Guru: They said I was too loud with my music. But I need to practice, so I ended up out here instead. Lewa: Can’t argue with that. Guru-Guru: They got mad… and now I’m sad… Velika: Hey. Rhyming is what I do best. So now go and give your act a rest! *runs off before anyone can catch a glimpse of him.* Tatl: Who was that? Lewa: Most likely a minor character with no influence on us whatsoever. Anyway, go on. Guru-Guru: I’ll just think about the past to keep my mind off the bad. Like when I wanted to be a concert pianist. Lewa: Oh, cool. How did it go? Guru-Guru: Well, it was all going well and I took lessons. I was very good at it. But then… *Guru-Guru becomes very angry and the music he’s playing becomes very fast and hectic to match his mood.* Guru-Guru: It was the monkey! The monkey took my spot! He took the spot that was so rightfully mine! I was left without a dream to go after! It made me so very mad! *Guru-Guru then turned happy and his music was happy and cheerful again, as if. Lewa and Tatl however were very scared of what they just witnessed.* Guru-Guru: That was when I joined and animal troupe with dogs and donkeys and zimzimeroos and such. Lewa: What’s a… that last thing you said? Guru-Guru, angry: I’ll ask the questions! Lewa, scared: Okay… Guru-Guru, happy: Why could a…? Why could a…? Why could a Matoran join? *Lewa was about to answer, but he was too scared to say much of anything else, so he kept his mouth shut.* Guru-Guru: Because I told them so! I was tired of being picked last for softball, so I said that I could join whatever I wanted and not get picked last! Tatl, quietly: This guy is scaring me. Lewa, quietly: You’re not the only one… Guru-Guru: They were all great, but there was one thing I didn’t like about it… *Guru-Guru becomes scary again, cranking his music box to go faster and faster to channel his rage, his music becoming quicker in pace and more rushed in tense.* Guru-Guru, angry: Why was the…? Why was the…? Why was the dog the leader?! I’m the one with opposable thumbs! Why couldn’t I be the leader?! What, my way of life wasn’t good enough for them?! Was it because something was wrong with me, Nobudy?! *Then Guru-Guru becomes happy again and his music once again reflects his mood… scary.* Guru-Guru, happy: Oh, that dog was such a wonderful leader. He always had a stellar troupe, no matter what animals he had to work with. And that’s why… That’s why… that’s why… I stole it! I stole the dog’s mask! Lewa: He had a mask? Guru-Guru, angry: I’ll ask the questions! Lewa, whispering so softly you couldn’t even hear him: Okay… Guru-Guru, happy: I wanted it because it was the leader’s mask. It made you a leader so charismatic and moving, one couldn’t help but follow. But I don’t want it anymore, so I’ll give this to you. *And thus, Lewa got the Bremen’s Mask. It made him look like Falco.* Lewa: It’s a chicken mask. Next thing you know, I’m going to get a pig mask, a cow mask, a fox mask, and a frog mask to go along with it. Tatl: Be careful what you wish for, Lewa… that’s all I can say. Guru-Guru: The dog was a good leader. His members matured very quickly and they became adults in an instant. Lewa: Hmm… that may or may not be useful information to me in the future. Okay. Tatl: Well, that’s another mask down. What now? Lewa: We let the wind take us to our next destination. Tatl: Well… that’s dumb. I hope your descendants don’t follow that logic.

I really don't care that it's not Halloween or even remotely close to it anymore. If anything, this next thing is more like a fusion of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Arbor Day... I wrote somewhat of a continuation to this comedy, this time taking place in the Twilight Delinquent Era of the DOT universe. It references what happened in the original Lewa's Halloween somewhat, however how it is everyone survived getting crushed by the moon is beyond me. After all, this is a spin-off where nothing has to make sense. Like the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes. In fact, that's a good example. Except with these chapters/short stories in this topic, it's really more of making fun of my comedies and how badly written they are. Now it's Twilight Delinquent's turn. Plus you'll get a look into Skyward Stooge. I'm also thinking of a way to continue Lewa's Mask Chronicles... but that might not be too far off. Anyway, I'll shut up now, here you go. Enjoy. Or not. TD: Lewa's Halloween II: Act I Once upon a time… No, wait. A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away… Wait, that's not right either. Whatever. In some far away land of Metru Nui, there echo many legends. Some about how some guy in green managed to defeat some psychotic burn victim. Then there is one about a young girl who became cursed with incredible power.The young Av-Matoran girl was viewed as an outcast by many. She was never invited to their block parties or their slumber parties. All except for 2, who she was eventually separated from by some evil fat guy in rusted armor, who shaped her into his ultimate weapon. After rebelling against him, she ran away from home trying to find a place to belong. But after what they rusty guy did, it would be impossible for her to fit in, now more than ever…Midna: Lewa…? Why am I here? Lewa: Oh, well, this is a spin-off from the main story.Midna: Okay. Well, at least I'm not an imp anymore. But if this is a spin-off, then does that mean we can do anything?Lewa: Sure. Just watch.*Lewa randomly grabs some rocks and throws them behind his shoulders. The rocks proceed to travel far and wide until they reach a random destination…**Knock Out is buffering himself in the mirror. When he finishes, he takes a look.*Knock Out, whistles: Hey there, good-looking.*Just then, the rocks Lewa throw smack him in the side, putting some major dents in his armor and messing with his paint job.*Knock Out, gasp: My paint job has been ruined! *growling* Dinkleberg…*Back with Lewa…*Lewa: See? Anything goes.Midna: Oh, I get it. But why are we doing this spin-off.Lewa: I don't know… I didn't think of that one.Nokama: Didn't you know? We're going to celebrate the day of the Princess of Shadows.Lewa: Uh… okay, that doesn't sound like a total faux-fake holiday you just made up right now. And what about the King of Shadows?*Somewhere from the great beyond…*Teridax, eating a 6-foot sandwhich: Hey, no one ever gave me a holiday!*Back with Lewa…*Lewa: Oh, yeah… that guy. Why hasn't he been in the main story?*That's when Midna rushes over and covers his mouth.*Midna: Spoiler alert.Nokama: Well, normally, this day would be Halloween, but after some strange mishap where the moon crashed into Metru Nui, we moved the holiday a few days and changed it to something totally different relating to our almost-demise! And that's partially why we all still dress-up in cosplay outfits and whatnot.Lewa: I… guess that makes sense.Nokama: Anyways, come on, you two lovebirds. We have to get over to the town square.Midna + Lewa: We're not lovebirds!*Ignoring Nokama's teasing, the pair go off to the town square.*Midna: Nokama's been acting much more easy-going after the whole Zant-Elitha-Antroz takeover of Metru Nui was thwarted.Lewa: Yeah, I don't get it. She's starting to creep-scare me, actually. More than that weird-freak.Rusl: I have a name, you know!Lewa: Well, when you find out what it is, I'll be cheer-happy to hear it.*They eventually make it to a large podium where Turaga Dume is talking.*Dume, on microphone: So then I told him "You got some pretty big SHOES to fill." *stupid laughter/silence among crowd.*Lewa, whispering: I don't get it.Midna, whispering: We missed the joke. It probably wasn't funny, anyway.Dume: Uh… Okay. My fellow Metru Nuians, it is that time again when we must talk about the threat proposed by zombies. You see, the heat of the moon--Tahu: Stop with your crazy zombie plan, you old bat! And stop with that scary costume.Dume: This isn't a costume.Tahu: Oh… well, it's pretty scary.Dume: Well, I should've been dead 40 years ago.All: O_ODume: Anyway, today is the day remember our near-destruction at the hands of the Princess of Shadows herself. To recount that tale, I bring you this whimsical rhyming guy who likes riddles.*From the shadows, out comes Velika, wearing a brown hooded cloak. No idea who he was cosplaying as.*Velika: Gather, people, into a circle. That way I can… [pause]Velika, speaking softly: Circle… what rhymes…? Circle…? [pause]Velika, aloud: Hey, kids, who wants to follow me to the creepy statue?*Velika throws his cloak, creating an original scene transition to everyone walking to somewhat of a field of statues. There was one of the King of Shadows/Demon King himself, as well as ones for Antroz, Ghirahim, Zant, and all those colorful characters that died in the series in some way or another. Velika, however, lead them to a specific statue… the Princess of Shadows, Elitha.*Velika: Listen here, listen how, you shall know more about the Princess of Shadow. So crazy and full-out insane, she will cause you so much grief and pain. A being of shadow everywhere you turn, she has fun when she sets things to burn! Lewa: Yup. Remember that, Midna?Midna: Do you even need to remind me? That fortune teller place burned too bright for me not to forget it.Velika: And yet, now, a creature so friendly and light, she will stalk for day and night! No matter if you walk, run, scream, or strife, she shall follow you for the rest of your life! To escape her cries and her ever-searching eyes, we all cosplay so that she should stay away. Idris: But strange Matoran-ish character?!Velika: What?Velika, thinking: Oh, no, I bet she's onto me! Does she know the truth of what I may be?Idris: What if we showed the freak lady kindness and compassion? Then we could make the world a better place?Velika: Ah, a very good point, you silly little girl. I shall answer when I make this magic smoke swirl.*Velika blows some magic dust at her before rushing away.*Velika: She knows not how to commune, she only knows destruction with the moon. Yet the sight of her will give you a fright, as she will go and hug all in her sight! She dances to the Cascada song "Night Nurse," and her presence will bring upon you an utter curse!*No sooner after Velika finishes his sentence, the clouds start to roll in, thunder rumbles and lightning cracks. And then from the clouds, a fiery chariot pulled by a mutant Kanohi Dragon comes in sight. Riding the chariot is a mysterious figure wearing a black, hooded cloak.*Lewa: Please tell me that isn't who I think it is…Midna: What happened to Elitha, anyway?Lewa: You know, it was very unclear…Midna + Lewa:
