ShadowBionics

At first when I read this, I was super excited and happy. As I read it, I found myself getting slowly disappointed. Then at then end, I went into "ShadowBionics is not amused" mode and found myself sad. I guess a late April Fools' joke on me. It was too good to be true, and yet almost so convincing. I started thinking something was screwy with some of the silly answers as well as the Doctor Who and Harry Potter references. And is "Gold Skinned Fusion's name really Gold Skinned Fusion" or whatever the question said was sort of redundant in the sense there ought to be some kind of name for him out there someplace. After all Greg said he had a list somewhere which is currently lost, although that doesn't mean the Fusion's name was on there or not. And now I'm rambling, probably because I'm disappointed so I will just be quiet.

Comedy Writers Discussion Topic does sound more fitting. Plus it might be a good addition. The CCC can continue to do its job of reviewing and critiquing comedies while there would be another topic just to merely discuss and maybe even plan things out. I don't remember if something like this has been done before (a part of me feels like it has and I'm just not remembering right), but now there can be an official and professional term for it.

A lot of these still leave me puzzled to this day. Granted, I know we got information from Greg and the encyclopedia I never bought, ,but still. I wish we did get a BL#7: Invasion to go into it better. I've been practicing my portrayal of Vezon for a long time, and even studying movies and looking through the old Bionicle story material for inspiration. And yes, there will be one of two Tuyet chapters coming up after I finish replying. Well, what can you say about Vezon? He's got his own mode of thinking and his own style. Words can't really describe that, so I didn't use words. Here is episode 4. Like the Karzahni case, this one is going to be more than one episode, so there will be another one sometime down the line. Here we go. Hydraxon: It was a dark time in the city of Metru Nui when a string of murders were reported and investigated by Toa Lhikan and Toa Nidhiki. Tonight, we take a look at the perpetrator of this string of murders, Toa Tuyet. I’m your host Hydraxon, and I dislike math. Join me, and you might be able to help me solve a mystery. *insert “Bionicle: Unsolved Mysteries” title sequence.* Hydraxon: It all began on the eve of a summer night, when Toa Lhikan and a group of Matoran gathered around the body of the deceased… We were lucky to get interviews with both Lhikan and Nidhiki before their untimely deaths at the hands of an obese madman. Lhikan, voted world’s best hero ever Lhikan: There was no doubt something was up, but I just couldn’t understand it. There were safeguards to prevent this kind of thing, you know? I didn’t want to think it was murder, but there was no other explanation. Nidhiki, as “charming” as he is, didn’t hold back when he told me his thoughts. Nidhiki, hates creepy crawlies Nidhiki: “It’s murder, Lhikan. Deal with it.” That’s what I told him when he was there all panicking and talking with Turaga Dume about it. Frankly, Turaga Dume isn’t that much help. I mean, have you seen him lately? Dume, hasn’t been institutionalized Dume: I wasn’t paying attention at the time because I needed to worry about something more important: Zombies. I know this is an explosive issue, but you all need to understand that the heat of the moon causes the dead to rise… or is it the Red Star? Or is it the bagel? Nidhiki: Anyways, as we kept looking, some of those annoying Vahki with their stupid-looking heads veered our way and I told them to back off. They’re just cold, unloving machines anyway. Like they know what it’s like to be alive? I don’t think so. Lhikan: As I looked closer, I noticed there was some writing on a tablet, and it said “Toa Tuyet.” So I went and questioned her. Hydraxon: Upon questioning, Toa Tuyet denied knowing any Ta-Matoran, let alone having interaction with them. She claimed to have been in Ga-Metru and not having left for days. Toa Nokama, brainy bookworm Nokama: Tuyet helped me out with some stuff in the lab. I couldn’t get much help, and Vhisola was too busy staring at me all weird to really help me. It was… disturbing. Vhisola, Nokama worshipper Vhisola: She is my hero! Is it my problem that I worship the ground she walks on?? I even have a life-sized poster of her, which is my most prized possession. None of you can have it! None of you! *maniacal laughter* Lhikan: Since the other Toa were gone, it was just us three there left to protect the city. I won’t lie, but I was scared out of my wits. Nidhiki: So that’s when I figured it was up to me to knock some sense into him. Not literally, of course, or else he’d have gotten mad at me or whatever. I reminded him about the tablet… Hydraxon: It wasn’t long before another murder took place, which was reported by Kongu after he stumbled on a deceased Le-Matoran who fell to his demise. There was another notable clue with him: another stone tablet bearing the name “Toa Tuyet.” Lhikan: We split up to go after Tuyet. I personally went to Ga-Metru to see her home quarters, and there she was, waiting for me. Hydraxon: Security camera in the paranoid Tuyet’s home caught sight of some of the confrontation. However, upon intensifying, the cameras were knocked offline. Tuyet’s Security Camera 12 Tuyet (Southern Accent): I’ve been waitin’ for you, sugar. Lhikan: There's been another death. Tuyet, I know you don't like Nidhiki, so I told him to go fly a kite. You and I have been friends for thousands of years. We've traveled together, fought together, worked at Burger King together, and once almost died together. If you know something about what's going on, you have to tell me. Tuyet: Oh, whatever do you mean, Lhikan? If I did know something, then I’d be puttin’ you in danger, sugar. And could you imagine what’d happen to ‘lil old me? End of tape Hydraxon: Unfortunately, Tuyet cut the recording before anything else could transpire. However, thanks to the testimony of the Toa, we have been able to make connections. Lhikan: After I let my guard down and told Tuyet one of my innermost personal secrets, Tuyet told me about something called the Nui Stone the Dark Hunters were after. Nidhiki: I knocked some heads with them before Lhikan arrived. It was kind of fun. Lhikan: After I got there, I spoke with Nidhiki, and yet I felt like we weren’t getting anywhere. None of those numbskulls seemed to know anything either. That’s when it hit me like a ton of bricks. And trust me, I know what it feels like. Nidhiki: Is he talking about the time I dropped a ton of bricks on him for April Fools’ day? Well, it doesn’t matter. After we got rid of them, we went back, only to find yet another murder took place only a few minutes prior. Lhikan, being the goody-two-shoes he is, almost argued the logic with it, but I made him hush up. Personally, I thought Miss Southern Belle over there was hiding something, and I was determined to figure out what it was. Hydraxon: Upon the capturing of the Dark Hunters, Lhikan and Tuyet went back into her dwelling, where Lhikan exposed her secret of the Nui Stone. Based on the testimony of the Toa, our team of unpaid interns have re-enacted the conflict. Conflict with Tuyet Re-enactment “Tuyet” (bad Southern accent): Oh, sugar, the countdown is over! Now we can go live happily ever after together, just you and me! “Lhikan”: I do not love you, Tuyet, for I know your secret! *he reaches behind a curtain and pulls out a red marble.* “Tuyet”: Dearest, whatever might that be? “Lhikan”: This is the Nui Stone, is it not? “Tuyet”: Okay, you caught me! I got the Nui Stone, sugar, and I’m going to rule the world. “Lhikan”: I can’t let you do that, Tuyet! *Suddenly, the door opens and out comes “Nidhiki” all happy and cheerful.* “Nidhiki”: Honey, I’m home. *Laughs like Desi Arnaz* *Laugh track/ applause track* *While “Tuyet” is distracted, “Lhikan” takes the marble and steps on it, crushing it.* “Lhikan”: You’re under arrest, Tuyet. “Tuyet”: But I love you, Lhikan. “Lhikan”: I never loved you. I like the more loyal, bookish type. Like Naho. End of Re-enactment Hydraxon: After the conflict, the friendship of Lhikan and Nidhiki grew somewhat sour, as Nidhiki was more than upset over the destruction of the Nui Stone. That night, Tuyet was confined in the Coliseum, but she would not remain there for long. There were reports of a large creature breaking in like a jolly prowler, taking Tuyet and leaving gifts, like some boxes of CDs by some blonde singer woman I am unfamiliar with. Botar, never does interviews except for this one time Botar: My job is my life. Without my job, I would have no life. Without my life, I would have no job. It was my duty to take the wrong-doer into custody and drop her off at the Pit to serve out her sentence. No questions asked. To keep others from catching on, I left some CDs by someone who sounds a lot like Tuyet. Her name is something like Britney Spears. They were gifts from my cousin who’s had his eye on my job for the last 14,000 years. I didn’t want them, so I figured it would be retribution for doing my job. Hydraxon: But was this the last of Toa Tuyet, or would she return in some shape or form to haunt everyone who wronged her? Later on, it was reported that she attempted to escape from the Pit when the Great Cataclysm took place... Her current status is unknown. Toa Tuyet is seven feet tall with blue armor. She was last seen sporting a barbed broadsword and a mask of intangibility. If you have seen her or have any information on her, please contact us. Coming up next, an update on the murder of Karzahni, as well as two linked accounts of disappearances and a second murder. Later, we look into the downfall of Makuta Miserix. All this and more coming up next.

Probably going to tell how old I am here, but... I forget what episode, but in "That's so Raven," Corey has some Bionicle canisters sitting on a shelf, I think of Gali and Tahu. Haven't seen the show in years. And then on this one channel, some talk show host guy asked "where are my Bionicles?" And then there was a movie sometime back that had some of the figures in them. I want to say it was the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still," but I might be so wrong. It might have come out the same year as that movie did. And I wanna say it was the Rahkshi that were featured, but again, it's been so long since I've seen much of anything. I'm lucky I even remember and of it. (on an off note, I personally don't refer to the toys as "Bionicles" and as "Bionicle figures" or "Bionicle toys," so to those who don't like referring to the toys as the former, please don't get mad at me as I refer to them as the latter two terms)

Glad you liked all liked the chapter. No particular reason why Jaller kept saying "Awesome!" every so often, I just thought it'd be random and funny. I'm glad someone else remembers Nixie. For random reasons when I was younger, I paired her with Takua... I was younger, don't look at me. Look at the younger me! It's him you want! Anyway, here is the third chapter, probably one of the lengthiest ones as of now since there was so much stuff I wanted to cover. Well, here you go. Hydraxon: Many know about the objects known as Krana, but what really goes into the process of their creation? More so, what happens when this process goes terribly wrong? Tonight, we look at some of these mistakes known only as “Zyglak.” I’m your host Hydraxon, and I enjoy eating pizza in my spare time. Join me, and you might be able to help me solve a mystery. *insert “Bionicle: Unsolved Mysteries” title sequence.* Hydraxon: Over a millennia has passed since the Great Beings mysteriously vanished and left us with their wisdom. While that is a story for another day, we look into one of the mysteries they left behind for us. As part of a massive experiment, the Great Beings used some raw material and exposed it to Energized Protodermis. Upon doing so, the material would become the leech-like creatures known only as Krana. However, things didn’t always go right, and at times the experiment resulted in the creation of savage beings known as Zyglak. Toa Orde, Guy with a lot of issues Orde: Yeah, so it was up to me to go and calm ‘em down, right? See, thing is I don’t do no babysitting for a bunch of pointy-faced freaks. I got a real bad temper, you see? So I don’t like doing stuff like that. It gets on my nerves. And apparently that’s why all Toa of Psionics are all female… I don’t get that. Man, I’m tired of being an outcast! Hydraxon: Because of the nature or their origin, the Zyglak grew to hate all of Matoran kind, as well as the Great Beings and anything associated with them. Velika, whimsical rhyming genius/nutjob Velika: Listen here to the words I say. Upon seeing the Zyglak, you must stay away. In strange ways, they commune… all about how to bring us our doom! Beware! Hydraxon: Around the time the first team of Toa was instated, disaster struck. Upon going about a routine mission, the team met a wandering tribe of Zyglak, who went out to slaughter the Toa… all except for one Toa Lesovikk. Sarda, Toa Lesovikk fanboy Sarda: It wasn’t his fault the Zyglak killed them! He just hesitated and didn’t know what to do. Please, he’s a good person inside. He’s just got issues! Hydraxon: It was this incident that would lead to Lesovikk’s downfall and spiral to villainous deeds and his questioning of the the title of “Toa.” This wouldn’t be the last time anyone would hear of the Zyglak. Many years later, after the Great Cataclysm, another tribe of Zyglak would be encountered by none other than the Toa Inika, shortly before their transformations into the Toa Mahri. We managed to get interviews with these Toa, including an interview with Toa Matoro before his untimely passing. Jaller, bossy guy and self-proclaimed hero Jaller: We needed to go down through this place called “The Cord” beneath Voya Nui. You know, because Matoro lost the Mask of Life. Matoro, reluctant hero Matoro: Jaller blames me for losing the Mask of Life, but it wasn’t my fault. The mask chose me to be its destined wearer, and it just wasn’t time or place for me to use it yet. So we went through the Cord to go beneath the waters of Voya Nui. Hahli, not Lesovikk Hahli: Matoro’s been through a lot. I worry about him, you know. Don’t tell Jaller I said that. Anyway, while that was all going on, we ran into Vezon. Kongu, meticulous Kongu: What was Vezon doing there, anyway? Wasn’t he stop-frozen in time or something? Hewkii, athlete and part-time jazz musician Hewkii: Vezon came around and he just flat out challenges us to a rematch. Too bad he was kind of powerless without the Mask of Life on him. Nuparu, an inventor Nuparu: He slammed Matoro’s head into a wall! It got intense! Vezon, no description needed Vezon: I wasn’t too happy when I found out the mask wanted to abandon me for Matoro. No… just didn’t settle with me. So after I got to my feet, I said good-bye to my friend Kardas after we agreed we had separate paths to follow. So to make my point, I slammed Matoro into a wall. I mean, I needed to get their attention somehow, right? Jaller: But while that was happening, we ran into some Zyglak. And it wasn’t awesome! Hahli: They told us a little bit about themselves. They weren’t happy to see us. Nuparu: So we held them off as best as we could. Hewkii: Eventually, we drove them off. I bet they didn’t like that too much. Kongu: And then as if it wasn’t weird enough, they Zyglak just snatch-grab Vezon and run off! Matoro: Personally, I was okay with seeing Vezon go. My head still hurts from when he hurt me… They took him away and ran and we never saw them again… until we went back up and saw the Piraka killed them all. Vezon: At first, I was scared out of my mind! I didn’t know what they were going to do! Turns out they just really liked me and wanted me around. They even put me into a hot tub and made me their king! At least… until I found out it was a pot. And they were just really hungry. They all left to get some ingredients and never came back. I didn’t think I was that bad company. Hydraxon: At a later date, Vezon himself was recruited into a rag-tag team of misfits who went on a mission to find and free Makuta Miserix. During this mission the rogue Makuta Spiriah took it on himself to cause a mutiny and enlisted the help of the Zyglak. Vezon: Take it from me… don’t make deals with Zyglak. They aren’t good. When Mr. “I think I’m so handsome” tried to cause a mutiny, it wasn’t a happy time for me. Oh, and I guess it wasn’t for everyone else either. I think Roodaka was the most angry. Hydraxon: Numerous other encounters have been noted within the Pit. However, upon the evacuation to Spherus Magna, there have been no such sightings of the Zyglak. Are they so bitter, they would rather remain away from Matoran society, or are they still out there in places we cannot find them? If you or anyone you know has any information, please contact us. Coming up next, we take a look at the life and times of a Toa of Water who went wrong, as well as her disappearance. Then, an update on the murder of Karzahni, as well as a second murder and the mysterious disappearance of two witnesses. All this and more coming up next.

Episode 2 of Unsolved Mysteries up and ready now... Hydraxon: Many reports have flooded in about sightings of an object known only as the “Red Star,” as well as reports of strange occurrences. Tonight we look into these sightings and determine just what the “Red Star” is. I’m you host, Hydraxon, and I like collecting stuff. Join me, and you might be able to help me solve a mystery. *Insert “Bionicle: Unsolved Mysteries” title sequence.* Hydraxon: In the early times of the island of Mata Nui, there were sightings of a glowing red object in the sky. Kapura, sad strange little man Kapura: So it’s like right there in the sky, see? And it’s just right there! It’s there! I’ve seen it! I’ve seen it so many times! Nixie, underrated character no one remembers Nixie: I’ve done lots of research on this thing… but then I realize all my books were outdated. I’ve got to go book shopping more. Turaga Matau, crazy old coot who’s supposed to be wise about stuff Matau: It reminds me of the time I failed my astronomy test. I should’ve been nicer to that big-brain Nuju. Kopeke, current chronicler and possibly eventual Toa Kopeke: … Hydraxon: Many inhabitants of the former island of Mata Nui reported these strange sightings time and time again, only for a majority of them to be either ignored of disproved as false. Turaga Vakama, wise elderly type figure Vakama: My friend Nuju has speculated time and time again about the existence of strange things like this. One more thing. I have a secret fear this Red Star might house unimaginable things not meant for us to know. Hydraxon: It wasn’t until many years later and after the Toa Mata first arrived that anyone would start to learn anything else about the Red Star. When it started getting closer to when the Great Spirit would be awakened, it was Toa Gali herself who made this discovery. Gali, healing expert, apparent astrologist Gali: I was looking at the Red Star through the telescope, you see, and then… that’s when I could have sworn I saw beings living in the Red Star itself! Tahu, fire expert, skepticism expert Tahu: It’s totally fake. Gali: What? How you do explain what I saw in the telescope then?! Tahu: It was probably some prank the Matoran were playing on us. Gali: Have you been talking to Turaga Vakama again? Tahu: What does it matter? Turaga Vakama Vakama: One more thing… sometimes the Great Spirit works in mysterious ways… like when he played a really mean prank with the stars to make it look like my friends and I were never meant to be Toa. Never underestimate the Great Spirit! Nixie Nixie, face palm: I knew I should have bought the seventh edition, not the sixth. Mata Nui, I am so far behind on my studies! What else could I not be aware about?! *Hydraxon is somewhat unsure about how to react to Nixie* Hydraxon, somewhat confused: But is it really all an elaborate hoax? Another report comes in from the Toa Mahri, who share their experiences with the mysterious Red Star. Jaller, bossy guy and self-proclaimed hero Jaller: A few of my friends and I went off to Voya Nui to find the Toa Nuva. You know, because the Turaga were being all annoying and “One more thing!” about stuff. When we got there, we got shot by lightning that came from the Red Star! And it made us into Toa! And it was awesome! Hewkii, local athlete and part-time jazz musician Hewkii: I looked like lightning hit me. I mean, who ever heard of a Toa of Stone who wasn’t at least some shade of brown? Jaller: Awesome! Hydraxon: Upon the recreation of Spherus Magna, new light was shed onto this mystery by some of the helpful Agori. Tarduk, Indiana Jones idolizer Tarduk: I went on this incredible journey to find out about the Red Star. You know, ‘cause I can see it dimly in the sky? I found this dusty old map outside of the arena and it looked like something having to do with that Red Star thing. Like it was some sort of… factory. Whoa. I never knew stars were made in factories. It like, blew my mind. It also made me question my own existence? Are like, we all made in factories? What does it mean to be alive? And can we all just get along? Crotesius, vehicle rider and guy with an impossible name to spell Crotesius: Tarduk dragged me and another Agori named Kirbold along his field trip. It didn’t really go all that well. First off, we got attacked by Iron wolves. Not fun at all. Granted, we met some crazy wizard who held them off, but still, you know? After we met some guys who could control the elements, I got outta there as fast as I could, no questions asked. Kirbold, not to be confused with the guys who ride the Kaxium Kirbold: Crotesius was out of there faster than you could shout his name… which is saying something. After we met these weird elemental guys, we eventually got lost in this weird place and then ended up back to where we started… meaning our whole adventure was completely pointless. Hydraxon: Is there more to the Red Star than meets the eye? Many reports have been made and a lot of have been dismissed due to lack of evidence, and yet there are those who still believe. Could this star be a supernatural phenomenon or an elaborate hoax? If you or anyone may have information, please call us. Coming up next, we look at an encounter with some bizarre creatures known as Zyglak. Then the disappearance of a wicked Southern Belle shrouded in mystery. Later, an update on the murder of Karzahni, as well as another murder and a disappearance linked to it. That’s all coming up next. Jaller: Awesome!

I'm guessing I'm kind of out of the talk now. Unfortunately I don't have every single piece you wanted from that list. I can confirm that I do have the White Toa Mata heads (unused), the tube piece (slightly used), and the light brown Bohrok feet (used once). I know that I have the two gold Takanuva shoulder pieces somewhere, they're just put away. I actually have a LOT of parts I'm looking to give away, so perhaps if we could work something out via PM, that would be great. I have many masks, feet, torsos, and things like that, including those for the Toa Mata, Toa Metru, and Vahki.

I'm actually somewhat interested in some of those minifigs you have listed... I'll have to check which pieces I have. I've got a bin of pieces, I'll just need to look. Also, I have 2 minifigures I want to trade with someone as well, if that would be plausible. I have duplicates of the Series 9 Judge, Series 8 Cowgirl, and Series 8 DJ. In the mean time, I will check for if I have anything like that you have listed in your first post. EDIT: I think I have two white Toa Mata heads, from Turaga Nuju, as well as a ribbed hose. However, the hose itself is slightly bent, as it was part of my Makuta set for a long time. I believe I might have more parts, so I'll keep looking for more parts and see what I have.

For me, I would for the most part leave everyone who appeared and spoke in the movies alone... except for maybe Lewa. I'm still working on who I would have to get him. Maybe Sam Vincent? There's been a lot of thoughts in my head on how the characters would sound in my head. I'll start off with one post on the Makuta. For Icarax, I'd probably like to have whoever voiced Shockblast from Transformers Energon do the job. Icarax reminds me a bit of Shockblast in the sense they're both very cruel, evil, and dangerous. In fact, Vican's thoughts of Icarax throughout BL#9 shouted "Shockblast" to me. For Antroz, I'd probably have Brian Drummond, but closer to how he voiced Transformers Armada Blurr. Even though Blurr isn't a villain, he and Antroz each have their own code of honor. Plus, I personally think he'd sound all right. For Vamprah, I'd like to have... I'm just joking. For Mutran, I'd probably go with Colin Murdock, voice of Transformers Armada Thrust and Energon Scorponok... but probably closer to how Thrust sounded. I think it would just fit him all right. For Chirox, maybe Paul Dobson. He's done a variety of voicework on various roles, I think he could pull off something sinister sounding and maybe add a shrieky element like that of Nidhiki... but no so much high-pitched. For Krika, this guy has so much potential unrealized in the actual story. He holds a lot of secrets and regrets, and his tragic story has a tragic end. For whatever reason, I could imagine him voiced by possibly David Kaye. That's just me. For Bitil, I'm kind of stumped. Probably Terry Klassen, the voice of Transformers Energon Six Shot. Or possibly Brian Dobson. For Gorast... the choice for her is kind of difficult for me to say. Maybe Gina Torres, who is the voice of Airachnid from Transformers Prime. Originally, I imagined Gorast to be somewhat like Roodaka (so in turn, Kathleen Barr), although Roodaka and Gali share the same voice actress, so... I wasn't sure. Then years later, hearing the voice of Airachnid, I thought I could imagine Gorast sounding like that. Gorast and Airachnid, like Icarax, are both ruthless and dangerous. Plus, they're both kind of ambitious and bordering insane, although they have different motives. For one thing, Gorast didn't plan to overthrow Teridax or anything. Icarax did, but this isn't about him. And that's about it for now. If I think of my options for other characters, I may return.

Looking forward to reading what you have in mind for the Red Star. I'm glad you like it. Karzahni is one of my favorite characters to write about, so I couldn't resist having glimpses into his sessions. Also, yes, Turaga Vakama is meant to be like Uncle from Jackie Chan Adventures. Glad to talk to someone who also remembers that show. The Red Star case is going to be very odd yet interesting. I have some ideas and I just need to figure out how to put them together, considering so many beings have done things in relation to the Red Star. Yeah, this would be more like a TV series sort of story. Each "chapter" is going to be treated like its own episode segment, but there will be times when Hydraxon will go back and forth between cases whenever any "updates" come in. So like the Karzahni case isn't done just yet, and he will be going back to it.

A bit of something new for me. I wanted to try something like this a long time back but I didn't know what to do. Given a lot of the mysteries of the Bionicle universe, especially those from the serials, I think there is something to work with now in addition to some of the already existent ones from the main storyline. Here we go... And before you ask, with this particular case the host is covering, there are going to be constant updates, so this first case isn't finished yet, before anyone asks. Hydraxon: In the eve of one cold night, there had been reports of various deaths that all had something in common. Tonight we investigate one of those deaths, which would be the death of Karzahni, as well as review the life of the deceased. I’m your host, Hydraxon, and I like wearing this trench coat. Join me, and you might be able to help me solve a mystery. *Insert “Bionicle: Unsolved Mysteries” title sequence.* Hydraxon: Sometime in the waking dawn on the newly reformed planet of Spherus Magna, a somewhat dull mission turned into a frightening experience when two lone Toa discovered the deceased body of the insane ruler known only as Karzahni at the bottom of Iron Canyon. From there, his body was brought in and examined by our team of specialists. Tahu, fire expert Tahu: I can definitely confirm he wasn’t burned. Trust me, I know these things. I like to burn stuff. Gali, healing expert Gali: Karzahni had seemingly fallen to his doom based on a large part of his injuries. To fall from Iron Canyon would yield great harm to one’s self alone, but it gets worse. Hydraxon: The two witnesses who discovered Karzahni had this to say… Kopaka, strategic specialist and loser in love Kopaka: Not only did Karzahni fall to his doom, but he landed on this little knife thing that was somehow waiting for him at the bottom of the cliff. Pohatu, weapon specialist, napkin collector, local athlete Pohatu: Actually, that’s an air sword. Kopaka: … Who carries around this little stub and calls it a sword? Pohatu: >_> Kopaka: Oh… right. But that’s different! Pohatu: Anyway, this is the Air Sword, usually carried by Toa Lesovikk. Hydraxon: Toa Lesovikk, as a fallen Toa, had personal issues with the demented tyrant and sought to personally bring justice with his own hand. However, several months earlier, he was robbed of that chance when Karzahni was arrested by the Order of Mata Nui, taken in by the member known as Botar. Unfortunately, we were unable to get an interview before his untimely demise, as Botar denied privilege for any questioning. Pohatu: Lesovikk just wanted to take matters into his own hands, for what he feels would be retribution for a lost chance being a hero. Kopaka: Personally I think he’s just out of his mind. Even if Karzahni was the way he is, why go out and push him to his demise? Hydraxon: While imprisoned by the Order of Mata Nui, Karzahni sought institution to help aid his shattered mind, which was made more insane by the ruthless Makuta Teridax. We have recreated the scene with these non-paid interns cosplaying as those who were involved. Karzahni’s mind shredding re-enactment “Karzahni”: I know about you Makuta and now I’m going to instill fear into you. *makes noises, puts hands on box head meant to represent Kanohi Olisi* “Teridax/Maxilos”: You made a big mistake Karzahni. I don’t have nightmares. I give them instead. So take this for your trouble! *he makes noises, holds out his broom and aims it at “Karzahni,” who falls over and starts yells in pain.* End of recreation Hydraxon: It was from there, Lesovikk himself wanted to take matters into his own hands as the tyrant made a hasty escape and tried to show him some pretty pictures with his kanohi mask power. From there, he was taken in by Botar and put into a mental institution. We managed to get a hold of some file footage straight from the Order as documentation of Karzahni’s progress on his mental health. Sessions did not go so well. A warning to some of our more sensitive viewers. Session #1 Therapist: Why do you feel the need to run from conflict? Karzahni: I never run away! I always stand and fight! Therapist: And yet you quit everything else you’ve ever done. You know, you’re only a failure if you never try. [awkward pause] Karzahni: Retreat! Session #7 *Karzahni is wrapped in a straight jacket* Karzahni: The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. Session #15 Karzahni, still wrapped up: Have the lambs started, Clarisse? Session #22 *Karzahni is locked up in a dark room* Karzahni: Fergalicious definition make them boys go loco… Session #28 Karzahni: Where’s my rubber ducky?! Session #32 *Karzahni is standing on his head* Karzahni: Who turned the world upside down?! I can’t take it anymore! Session #38 Karzahni: Is that you, Carly Rae Jepsen? End of footage Hydraxon: It was because of this lack of progress, Karzahni was deemed a lost cause and later sent to the Pit to live out the rest of his imprisonment. Turaga Vakama, wise elderly type figure Vakama: He wasn’t really good at rebuilding Matoran, either. The other Turaga and I had to fix the ones he had in his realm after they were relocated. One more thing. Makuta actually named a plant after him, which tried to attack me. One more thing. He was meant to be a tale everyone said just to frighten one another. I never thought he actually existed. Tahu Tahu: His injuries are fake. Gali Gali: How do you explain that? Hydraxon: Somewhere out there, the murderer is still at large and is evading capture. Some believe he has gone south, changed his name to Vesolikk, and tried to create a new life for himself. He is seven feet tall with orange eyes, and was last seen wearing a Kanohi Faxon and green armor. If you or anyone has seen him or have any information, please call us. Coming up next… a glowing red object in the sky known as the “Red Star.” What secrets are linked with it? Later on, we take a look at a closer encounter with the Zyglak kind.

Sadly, I wasn't really around on BZP from the very start. However, I think I still remember seeing some of your comics around the forum from the time when I went and visited the Comics forum. While I joined BZP in 2004 and didn't really see your original comic (at least, I can't seem to remember if I have), I definitely enjoyed these both. It was quite a throwback seeing the sprites from the plushie generator from years ago. I wish I knew what happened to them, I liked them. Well, you've definitely evolved. I liked both of the comics, and the humor has definitely kind of changed from one to the other. Never the less, they still maintain the same general story. Great job, overall.

All right, back again with another episode. This one took a while, so sorry about that. Anyways, without a further delay, here we go. Sorry if this one is random, but that's kind of the theme with these first few episodes. Vezon needs to find a way to deal with a bunch of chaos. Episode 2: Sleepy Sea Fish *Inset rock music and “Vezon Tv” title card HERE* Von Nebula: Greetings, everyone. I am Von Nebula. These are my minions. We are… tonight’s entertainment! Vezon, in a straight jacket: Enough with the party games, just let me go. This isn’t your show. Von Nebula: That’s where you’re wrong, you little freak. I’m taking over and now I am going to entertain the masses. Thunder: And there is nothing you can do about it, little baby man! Meltdown: Consider it a special bonus! Von Nebula: Why are you obsessed with saying that? Meltdown: I… don’t know. Von Nebula: Well, whatever. Anyways, hello, everyone. Do you all want to hear a joke? So there’s this whole “brain attack” thing going on, right? Well, what do you get when you cross ones of those brains with one of those frost beasts? “Brain Freeze.” Because they’re frosty and… when the brain… Vezon: And I thought my jokes were bad. Von Nebula: No one likes a critic! Vezon: Here’s a joke. What sounds awful and makes me want to yell? Von Nebula: Rebecca Black? Vezon: No, nutcase. Your act! Corroder: *insane laughter* Von Nebula: If you want to keep your head, you’ll stop laughing! *Corroder stops laughing* Vezon: What makes you so special, anyway? Von Nebula: Shut up! I have a special lollypop! Vezon: Where does that sound familiar? Zant: Shut up! I have a big chair! Vezon: That’s it! Wait, why are we having a crazy person meeting? Crazy Siddy: Still crazy!! Vezon: Get out of here! You’re not real! Crazy Siddy: I’m as real as Macrostuff’s Y-box 450 game console and Sorny’s Gamestation! Vezon: Okay, fine. But why are you even here?! Von Nebula: I want to spread my act. Vezon: I didn’t mean you! Crazy Siddy: I’m here to sell games at low low prices! Vezon: Why are all you freaks showing up here? If it’s because you’re all washed up has-beens, then you have another thing coming to you! This is my show, now yours! Von Nebula: If it’s any consolation, I didn’t invite him. Vezon: I don’t remember asking you anything! I just want you to get out of here and let me get out of this straight jacket! Darn it, I should have asked Roodaka to teach me how to get out of one of these things! Von Nebula: If we can go on, I would like to continue my comedy act. Now, then, how about another joke? Vezon: No! Anything but that! *Vezon suddenly gets up, breaks out of the jacket, and jumps through the wall. Like the kool-aid man.* Von Nebula: Oh, come on, at least hear it! *That’s when Von Nebula starts to run after Vezon.* Von Nebula, shouting/running: So after Rocka overloaded Black Phantom, he got hero cuffed. When he was taken in, he was asked what he was doing. That’s when he replied “I was just hanging around!” *Vezon takes the moment to jump off a high cliff.* Von Nebula: Hanging around. Because he was left hanging. *His minions catch up to him and look at him.* Von Nebula: You’re not helping. *Meanwhile…* Vezon, hanging: Well, glad I got rid of him. Now to get rid of all those other freaks. How am I supposed to do that? While we go with that, how about we go to another segment? Announcer: We’ll be back with more Vezon Tv. Wait, is this show still called that? Teridax: Hello. My name is Makuta Teridax. You might remember me. You know, when I was just starting out as an evil villain, I had almost nothing to my name. Then one day, it all changed. All I had to do was kick out that fool Miserix and make everyone trust me. I want all of you to trust me, too. And soon, you, too, will be granted with great power. All you have to do is get out your wallets, credit cards, and whatever else you might have, and send them all to me! When you do, I will personally give you a seat of power in my new order. Random announcer: This presentation is brought to you by this presentation. Announcer: We are back to Vezon Tv. I am very confused right now. Vezon: Oh, hey, viewers. I managed to scale up the cliff from where I jumped. I’m a bit nervous about going back over there. I mean, what can I really do at this point? Hodge Podge: Need a hand there? Vezon: AAAH! Zaktan look-alike! Hodge Podge: No, you dolt. I am Hodge Podge, formerly associated with the Brotherhood of Morons. Vezon: Have we met before? Hodge Podge: I… don’t know. Blame the 2 year gap that we’ve been gone. Vezon: Yeah… So how can you help me? Hodge Podge: What better way to deal with insanity than MORE insanity?! Vezon: I’m all for insanity and fun times, but wouldn’t that just make things worse? Hodge Podge: Nonsense! *Hodge Podge puts on his DJ gear and gets Vezon on his feet.* Vezon: Where are you taking me?! I will not let myself be taken prisoner! Hodge Podge: Relax. I’m just going to take you back to the studio, that’s all. Vezon: Oh. If you’re one of the Maklooters, why are you being nice to me? Hodge Podge: See, the word is “Makuta,” and I used to be one of them until that brainless oaf Icarax got me mutated and that science school reject Mutran got me even more mutated, as per the orders of that arrogant fool Teridax. Vezon: Oh. Well, that makes sense. Hodge Podge: Yup. The Brotherhood of Morons wrecked my life, so now I want to wreck theirs. *That’s when they are interrupted by an accented female voice…* Elitha: Get in line, Algorox. Hodge Podge: That name no longer has any meaning to me! How do you even know who I am? Elitha: I know more about you than you think. Like how you set up the events that led to the entire “The Shadowed One’s Ridiculous Mission” trilogy. And how The Shadowed One himself wound up in an alternate dimension because of your shenanigans where Teridax took over our universe and Icarax runs his enforcers. Hodge Podge: What are you, some kind of anime fan? Elitha: Yes, I am, but that is irrelevant to the matter at hand. My point is you’re just an insane fool made from a jumble of reject parts. Hodge Podge: You got some kind of nerve! Elitha: Hodge Podge: Gump gump gump gump gump gump gump! Vezon: Is… this a bad time? Elitha: No, Vezon, stay. Vezon: Ooh… I like the way you say my name. Elitha, giggles: Well, then we might get along very nicely. Vezon: Who are you, anyway, oh beautiful maiden of great knowledge? Elitha: I am the solution.

To be incredibly honest, my interest in Bionicle has gone down. Mainly because of the lack of story and lack of sets coming out, but we all know the cause of the latter... sort of. I kind of predicted the end of Bionicle when I saw the stars (and I got mocked for it), but whatever, that's another story. So long story short, I've shifted my attention to my other interests such as video games and transformers... so in a since, I'm back to how I was before Bionicle came around. I've devoted some attention to Hero Factory and Ninjago as well, since I like the figures of the former and I like the storyline of the latter. Plus I still enjoy collecting other Lego sets, so that part of me is still with Lego. I mainly stay on here to continue whatever writings I have. Unfortunately, a lot of my friends have all moved on and left this site, so I don't have too many people to talk to anymore, only a few. So I guess that's mainly why I'm still on here.

Here are a few that I've made. And some of which I've actually made into repaints/customs of other masks. Kanohi Galvex, Mask of Transfiguration. It works like a combination of a Mahiki and a Mask of Mutation. The user can use this sort of power on themselves or on others. The user wants to be a tree? They can be a tree until they have the mask change them back. They want to turn someone they don't like into a tree? They can do that until they have the mask change them back as well. Or not. And why am I talking about trees? Kanohi Athura, Mask of Molecular Disruption. This mask can work on either the user or the user's target. The user can temporarily disrupt their molecular structure and even escape traps and imprisonments by phasing through them. The user can also have the mask do the same thing to their target. Depending on how they use the mask, the effect can even be permanent, although it takes a lot of concentration and will power. Kanohi Charr, Mask of Absorption. This mask turns the user into a living power magnet. The user can temporarily absorb power from their target, weakening said target and strengthening the user. While the effect is temporary, it can still be enough to get the job done, especially for those who enjoy stealth. Kanohi Mirha, Mask of Knowledge. Somewhat related to the Kanohi Charr. This turns the user into a living "super computer," so to say. The user becomes intelligent to the point the mask aids them in calculations, crafting plans, and being able to make decisions while taking all possibilities into account. A very rare mask, to the point there was only one in existence. Was. Not anymore. The only one made became mutated to the pictured user's face into an unrecognizable shape, although it still works and the user has gone insane. Kanohi Elitha, Mask of Death. The mask itself has no name. It is synonymous with the name of the user, as both function as one. The mask was crafted by an Av-Matoran named Elitha, who was taken and enslaved by Makuta Teridax. It is a weaker version of the Ignika, its polar opposite, yet it can still do almost anything it can do, but to a lesser extent. It can change, create, or destroy things as per the user's wishes. However, it is limited on other things. It can't "instantly kill" an opponent, as it only as a 1% chance of working, otherwise it would only cause the intended target harm. Teridax ordered Elitha to create this mask after her failed attempt at making the Vahi, as a punishment, thinking she would torment herself in pursuing a while rahi chase. Yet, she succeeded and rebelled. After suffering, the mask became her salvation and turned her into a Toa of Shadow, as a symbol of her burning hatred for Teridax, even wearing armor similar to his. She can't use the mask to its fullest extent, but she can still be very dangerous. She has even learned how to take on a "spirit form," and retreat into the mask. This has caused many to believe she is a personification of the mask, like how the Ignika created a body for itself, but this is entirely false. Elitha can exist without the mask, but it would leave her severely weak. There is only one in existence, and it has an identical appearance to the Ignika, except it is all dark and weathered. Mask of Dinner. This mask is a bit of a joke from some of my earlier comedy work. This mask only existed in an alternate dimension. It has the power to turn whatever the user wants into food. It can also unleash a "nova-like" attack called "Ultimate Dinner." The Mask of Dinner is a smaller mask and can fit over a regular Kanohi. Little is known about it, even if it has an actual name. The mask itself looks like it is in the shape of a "pouty" face with mean eyes.

Unfortunately, I held back when writing this. Had it been the old me, it probably would have been much more insane, but oh well. Yes, it would help to read the others. They build on each other. One helps the other make sense and vice versa. I don't remember. I didn't think Ordona was. So I went with that. I never knew that before. Interesting. Midna broke the mirror because she felt it was to her duty to make sure nothing like what Zant did ever happened again. Lewa is in his Phantoka form, although it is referred to his adaptive armor form, so you're half right. And unless I specify otherwise like I did with Bomonga, those sort of characters are Toa. So Nokama is still a Toa Metru.

Bionicle: The Game has 2 that come to mind. The Lewa Nuva level has death water, but imagine falling, getting stuck in between the stage, and THEN getting killed by the death water. A similar thing happened to me in the Tahu Nuva level. Got stuck on a rock in the lava, and then met with death. Not sure if this was a glitch, but with the Pohatu Nuva level and the never-ending mine cart ride. I was told this was a glitch by some people, but others say it's not really. It's when despite hitting all the switches and getting everything, the mine cart never stops and you never exit the tracks, thus leading to a never-ending mine cart ride. I experienced this once, but then again I only played the game once. I had to reset however so I could progress and get unstuck from the level. I've experienced some of the weirdest things with that game.

Wow, so you must have really hated him then... Yeah, it was, it didn't take me a long time to figure things out. ... No comment. Just... I don't know what to say. I mean, seeing as this is the third part of a series and Hero's Shade, Antroz, and Elitha are the only returning characters... So yeah, I guess her death doesn't mean a whole lot then, huh? She originally appeared in The Moron's Mask, the second part in the series, and... I guess it kind of bothers me when people read a story in out of order and ask questions or point something out that is referenced or featured in the previous installment. So I'm sorry about that. But I seriously do suggest for anyone reading this one first, PLEASE READ THE OTHER TWO STORIES.There's a lot of things established in those that are built upon in this one. Of them, who Antroz, Elitha, and DOT Lewa/Hero's Shade are.As for that last thing you said... looking over the last two chapters I think it's probably best to combine them. Mostly because the last chapter, almost nothing happens, it just covers the credit sequence and then nothing. Chapter 29 is really where things happen, so despite that I said I wouldn't combine chapters, I'm probably going to do that for this one. So this is the last chapter, being comprised of Chapter 29 and Chapter 30. The big finale, as well as the announcement of the next installment of this series. Chapter 29 is where the real bulk of the story is. Chapter 30 is actually kind of short considering not much really happens. In fact, I didn't really know how to handle the credits sequence in a way to make it work, and you can tell. Chapter 29 I was able to work with better. And I also consulted the "old me" to help write one part near the end... or the middle in this case since you're going to have them morphed together. *Moments earlier, Midna teleported Nokama and Lewa out of the Coliseum in her attempt to destroy Antroz after his murder of Elitha and the many bad choices of words he made. As Midna challenged Antroz alone, Nokama and Lewa ended up somewhere out in the field area.*Nokama: Uh-oh, Midna's still in there.Lewa: She said she didn't want us in there.Nokama: But don't you know? Every time someone says they don't want us somewhere, it usually means they need us.Lewa: Oh. I guess that makes sense…*That thought is interrupted as there is a huge explosion at the Coliseum. The both of them turn their attention to see Antroz, back in his normal form, riding atop his horse Nexus. He laughs triumphantly as he and Nexus make an epic pose.*Antroz: Didn't she learn? There's no way you can beat giant flaming afro head form!Nokama: Oh, no, not even Midna and the fused shadows could kill him.Lewa: And she was in a bad mood, too.Antroz: Oh, and speaking of that…*Antroz holds up Midna's helmet/part of the fused shadows in triumph, only to crush it in his hand to taunt Lewa further.*Lewa: Okay, you are so dead now. You just killed 2 people in 10 minutes.Nokama: We can't take him on like this. Not while he's on a horse.Antroz, singing: I'm on a horse! I'm on a horse! Everybody look at me, 'cause I'm riding on a horse!Lewa: Why not? He's charging at us in slow motion.Nokama: I need to call upon the Light Spirits to help us!Lewa: What? But they're lazy! They didn't help me one bit!Nokama: Still, it's worth a shot.*That's when Nokama focuses her spiritual energy to call upon the Light Spirits to take them away before Antroz can charge and trample them to death. And right in the nick of time, too.**Lewa and Nokama are teleported to this very bright and magical place where fanciful creatures run free and such.*RID Megatron: Now to launch my attack on the land of Care-A-Lot!*Except that guy. He's lazy and colored like a snowcone.*Nokama: Spirits, lend us your power.Faron: I am lemur-squirrel thing.Eldin: I am weird hawk.Lanayru: I am Lanayru.Ordona: And I'm not invited again. >:[Lewa: They're finally doing something useful! About time. I was getting annoyed-tired of them.*The three light spirits (because Ordona wasn't invited again) bestow the power of the Light Arrow to Nokama. Not Lewa. I guess he wasn't important enough to handle them like the Hero of Time was.*Nokama: I was hoping you'd give us more than three.Eldin: Fine, we'll give you four.Nokama, sighs: Lewa, we only have four shots. So we have to make them count.Lewa: All right.Nokama: I ask that you call upon the courage you've gained through your great journey to help us triumph over the great evil and restore peace to Metru Nui.Lewa: You don't have to ask. I'll help.*With that, they are transported back to Metru Nui and away from that weirdo place with that evil lazy colorful guy who's probably the worst Megatron of all time, and this time they are atop Epona to match Antroz and his mount.*Nokama: With these Light Arrows, we should be able to stop him. We just have to make sure we don't miss since we only have four.Lewa: Which is three more than we need.*Lewa has Epona chase after Antroz and Nexus, who are surrounded by his entourage of ghost riders.*Lewa: Ghost Rider!*No, not that guy. Anyway, Lewa slashes at them as they try to stop him from getting to Antroz, getting closer and closer until his target is in sight.*Lewa: I've got him in close-range… Hey, Antroz! I got this glow-in-the-dark spear thing. Here, catch!*Nokama fires the Light Arrow, hitting Antroz and somewhat avenging the Hero of Time when Antroz hit him with that glow-in-the-dark baseball many years ago. Antroz starts to struggle, and eventually he and Nexus fall to the ground.*Antroz: No, no, no, no, no, no, no! *He and Nexus fall and wipe out on the ground.*Nokama: Now's your chance, Lewa. Get him while he's defenseless on the ground!*Before Lewa could do anything, the dust clears as Antroz gets back to his feet.*Antroz: Enough of these silly preliminary battles. It's time we get down to the nitty gritty! Draw your sword, Hero, and let's settle this once and for all!*As Lewa approaches Antroz, the both of them are locked in another barrier, similar to earlier on. Nokama and Epona could no longer help him. Lewa briefly looks back before turning around again to face Antroz, drawing the Master Sword.*Antroz: An impressive-looking blade, but nothing more. For you see, I've got this thing!*He draws the Sage's sword from his scabbard, the very one used to impale him. So you might say Antroz was bluffing, not aware of the fact the Sages told Lewa the sword was only the pretend sword.**Lewa thought back once again how he had to use his every bit of strength, knowledge, and courage to face Antroz, as the fate of the world was dependent on this very battle. However…*Antroz: This is Metru Nui!*Antroz kicks Lewa in the stomach like in an overused meme from a movie from 2006 about Spartans many many many times, making Lewa cry in pain.*Lewa, crying: You broke-hurt my ribs!Antroz: And I'll break even more than that! Now, take this!*Antroz rushes at him with the Sage's sword, but Lewa counters with the Master Sword, locking blades.*Lewa, thinking: I'm doomed, aren't I?Mayor Bo, in his mind: Lewa… remember the art of battle of who's the heaviest.(In Lewa's Head)Lewa: Mayor Bo? What are you doing? And how are you speak-talking to me in my head?Mayor Bo: I've always had powers you never knew about.Lewa: Okay…Mayor Bo: I'm here to help you, Lewa.Lewa: Really?Mayor Bo: Yes. Everyone in the village is rooting for you, Lewa.Lewa: They know about all this?Mayor Bo: Yup. They're all rooting for you to win.Random Guy: 50 bucks says he doesn't last 10 minutes.Shopkeeper: 50 bucks says he doesn't last 5 minutes.Rusl: He's dead.Uli: I'm pregnant!Rusl: We know already!Lewa: :(Mayor Bo: Uh… forget them, I'm rooting for you.Lewa: But I can't beat this guy! He's stronger than me and he's got the Triforce of Power. It's like he's got no weakness… aside from his obvious weakspot.Mayor Bo: When you say he's stronger…?Lewa: His body is bulk-larger than mine. He's got a larger upper-body.Mayor Bo: That's it, Lewa! His disproportioned body is the key!Lewa: What?Mayor Bo: Remember the training I gave you.Lewa: But I'm not using the iron boots!Mayor Bo: You don't need them! The same tactics apply here. Antroz has an uneven center of gravity where you have a more balanced one. So while you're locked in battle, pushing him back with your legs, not your arms!Lewa: That will work?Mayor Bo: Yes. I know things about fighting larger opponents, remember?Lewa: Well…Mayor Bo: Okay, I'm not lying about this one, trust me!Lewa: All right. You better not be lying or else we're all dead.Mayor Bo: Good luck, Lewa, and may the force-- I mean, may the power of the goddesses be with you.*Mayor Bo starts to shimmer away while making ghostly wails. Lewa then snaps back to reality.*Antroz: Any last words, Mr. Hero?Lewa: Yeah…*Lewa pushes back against Antroz with his legs, knocking him off balance and sending him stumbling back a few feet.*Lewa: Go long.*Lewa rushes at Antroz, slashing madly at him before he can recover. Dazed and confused, Antroz stumbles back again, this time only to have Lewa kick him in the stomach. Then, using all the knowledge and training from his ancestor the Hero of Time, Lewa does a quick roll at him as he falls, and then he leaps up in the air, plunging the Master Sword into Antroz's chest where his obvious weak spot was, finally ending Antroz's reign and life, as well as making his ancestor proud and finally allowing his spirit to rest.*Lewa: Consider yourself skewer-dead.*The barrier falls down and Antroz struggles to get back up.*Antroz, coughing: You might… think this is over, but it's not! The history of light and shadow shall be written in blood! An endless cycle of evil shall follow you and your descendants, wherever they may go! As long as the Triforce of Power remains in my hand…*In the irony of his words, the Triforce of Power leaves him.*Antroz: Okay… but an endless reincarnation cycle of evil shall follow you and your descendants wherever you may go! Can someone call me an ambulance? I wonder what's next for me.*From the Spirit Realm, inside Antroz's head.*Zant: I can tell you, "My lord."Antroz: Zant?Zant: You lied to me! You're no greater power, you only used me to carry out your deluded plan! I even founded and became president of the Antroz Fanclub like you wanted me to!Antroz: Actually, I tried to tell you many times I was actually a--Zant: Shut up! You lied to me! I'm not going to hear anymore of your lies! Me and Princess Luna are done with you, Antroz!Elitha, delusional again: Mr. Space Angel said you're a bad man! *stupid laugh.* Now you're gonna die for being such a bad man.Zant: Well-said, my princess.Antroz: How did you figure all this out?Zant: Well, when you're watching from the Spirit Realm, you can see and hear a lot of things and gain a universal understanding of the world.Antroz: Is that like what Mutran did? And how did you gain a universal understanding if you're insane?Zant: Here in the Spirit Realm, there is no such thing as insanity. *insane laugh.*Antroz: You did an insane laugh.Zant: Yeah, old habits are hard to kill.Antroz: And why is she still insane?Zant: I didn't say insanity goes away instantly. That's why we're here in the Spirit Realm Library to relax. Right, princess?*Elitha then gets on top of a table and starts singing in pure joy/insanity.*Elitha: 'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling, and everytime we kiss, I swear I can fly. Can't you hear my heart beat fast? I want this to last. Need you by my side.Zant: See? She'll be back to normal in no time.Antroz: Normal? She's singing Cascada while dancing in a library.Zant: I've had it with you and your criticism! I'm glad you're going to suffer a fate worse than death!Antroz: You don't mean…?Zant: That's right… It's limbo time!Antroz: No, no! Not that! Anything but that!Zant: And my neck goes SNAP!*As Zant snaps his neck, Antroz's life finally ends and his body remains standing there with the Master Sword still in his chest. Some say that Antroz is still standing there in the field to this day, waiting for the ambulance he asked Lewa and Nokama to call. But it never came, because they never got one for him, because they don't like him.*Zant: And another one bites the dust. *Nokama and Lewa stared at Antroz as he stood there with the Master Sword still in his chest, lifeless and unmoving.*Nokama: Well, it's finally over.Lewa: That's a relief. So should we call him that ambulance?Nokama: Nah.Lewa: Yeah, I didn't want to either. But I am going to get the Master Sword back.*Before Lewa can go to Antroz, he is interrupted when he spots several beams of light shining from behind him. He turns around to see the three (not four) Light Spirits who don't do anything doing something else, which is totally a new record for them. He also spots a somewhat familiar figure in the distance. Could it have been Midna?*Lewa: Forget you, Antroz! *He quickly grabs the sword, leaving Antroz standing there, puts it away, and runs past Nokama right for where he saw Midna. When he got there, he was surprised to see it wasn't the vertically challenged imp he had known throughout his journey. It was a beautiful young woman clad in royal garments of the Twili species with the same red hair and eyes that Midna had. Was it still her? Lewa stood there, SO HAPPY, not too sure how to react. Whether he was shocked to see her again, taken back by her beauty, or some other third thing, we might not really know.*Midna: Well, go on. Say something. What, am I so beautiful that you've no words left?[awkward pause]Lewa: Will you be my mommy?*Midna slaps him upside the head.*Lewa: Yup, there's the Midna I know.*With Antroz, Zant, and Elitha dead, the threat that loomed over Metru Nui was no more and peace was able to reign and everyone was able to return to their lives…**Somewhere out in the field…**King Bulblin and his minions are riding their boars out of the field, possibly to some other land where they can live better lives.*King Bulblin: I'm in the mood for some roasted boar…*Okay… Meanwhile in New Ta-Metru, Tahu and Kopaka helped to load up the horse-drawn wagon for the kids to return home.*Tahu: All right, well I think that's everyone.Kopaka: You sure. Because you almost forgot about Colin back there.Tahu: No. And I checked. He's right here.Kopaka: Well, in that case, I guess it's farewell from here. So long…*Kopaka starts to walk away as Tahu shakes his head and turns to face the kids.*Tahu: Don't worry. He's just a big softie. He's not really big on long good-byes. Now where is Gali at? Colin: Why can't you take us?Tahu: What part of my business card didn't you get? I'm not supposed to do anything.*Okay… while that was all going on, the proud Toa of Earth were celebrating by having contests for fun to see who was truly the heaviest. Whenua watched with pride and indigestion as the matches took place.**Meanwhile in the main market town, everyone was at Gali's milk bar celebrating, including the stupid guards Gali said were never allowed back in. I guess she didn't stay mad at them for too long. Gali herself was at her place with Runia.*Gali: Wasn't there something I was supposed to do…? Oh, wait, the kids!*As Gali made that stunning realization that she was supposed to be doing something, everyone else was in the town square throwing a festival celebrating how they were all still alive and everything was fine again.**Sometime after that, Hahli and Tahu got tired of waiting, so they decided to take turns driving the wagon back home for them since there was no telling when/if Gali would ever get there.**Somewhere in Ga-Metru, many were rejoicing over their freedom… all but one. The spirit of the deceased queen looked upon her son, the prince who still mourned for the loss of his mother, sister, and father. Never the less, a part of him could almost feel her presence looking down upon him with pride and confidence. A part of him wished he could tell her about how Lewa had to use his coral earring and wanted a new one.**Up in Ko-Metru in the mountain tops, in the mansion inhabited by the two Yetis, there was happiness and rejoicing as well… although it was very unclear if the Yetis were even aware of the looming evil that almost consumed everything, but oh well. Enough of that.**In the Sacred Grove, the Dorks of the Round Table were roaming around doing something or another…*Nuju: My map told me there would be some ancient ruins here.Nikala: You've been saying that for the last 5 hours. Can we give it a rest?Pohatu: Yeah, I mean I can't carry this bazooka around forever.Nuju: No one asked you to! Why are you even doing that?!Pohatu: Because it's awesome! *Not too far away, Tahu was taking the wagon to the village to bring everyone back home. It seemed as though it was a lifetime before the kids had seen their home. Uli was by the stream at the time when she noticed the wagon pulling in. There was great happiness upon family members being reunited. Mayor Bo himself even ran out of his house upon seeing Hahli return. Uli looked and saw her husband and Colin walking towards her.*Colin: Mom, I'm back.Uli: You're both back.Rusl: And now I have a better sense of who I am. We both do. After so long of doing so soul-searching, I finally know who I am. I am Rusl.Uli: Rusl… Oh, now we finally know what to call you after all these years!*While all of this was going on, there was still some business to take care of in Po-Metru involving the Mirror Chamber and the Mirror of Twilight. Lewa, Nokama, and Midna journeyed here in an unspecified manner in an unspecified amount of time after leaving the Coliseum and Antroz. Midna wished to return home.*Midna: Well, I guess this is farewell, huh? Light and Shadow can't mix as well all know. But never forget there is a world bound to this one.Lewa: Why do you say that? I mean… aside from Zant tried to kill you with light and all… Why does it have to be farewell??Nokama: Shadow and Light are two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other. I know now the reason why the goddesses left the Mirror of Twilight in this world. They left it because it was their design that we should meet. Yes… that is what I believe.Lewa: I'm guessing being emotional stuff-jammed an intellectual moment in your head there? That's the smartest thing you've said and done this whole story.Midna: Nokama, your words are kind and your heart is true. But your head it empty, sadly. If all in Metru Nui are like you… then you might do all right. You might. Not guaranteed. I hope they're not as empty headed as you.Nokama: Thank you.Lewa: Even I know an insult when I see one. *Midna smirks at Lewa's comment as she walks over to the mirror, where the staircase forms.*Midna: Thank you. The princess spoke truly. As long as the mirror's around, we could meet again.*There was a sense of forlorn in her words as she was caught between her duty and her new sense of love towards the people in the world of light… one of them in particular. She closed her eyes as a single tear streamed down her cheek.*Midna: Lewa… I… See you later…*As the tear fell, Midna gently pushed it away as it landed against the Mirror of Twilight, causing it to slowly crack. Everyone looked in shock as it continued to break. Midna, trying to hold herself together, runs up the steps where she is taken back to the Twilight Realm before the entire think shattered. As looked back at Nokama and Lewa as she returned home. Then as soon as she was gone, the mirror disintegrated into dust. Lewa wasn't quite sure what to feel at this point. Both of them stood and looked at the stone slab and then at where the mirror once was.**Not everything would be normal. If anything, this was a signal that change was coming, especially in the case for Nokama and Lewa. After the newly anointed Queen Nokama made sure that the damage done by Antroz and Zant was done, Lewa almost saw no reason to remain where he was. Much like his ancestor, the Hero of Time, he felt like he needed to leave. Before doing anything, he returned the Master Sword to the pedestal of time for whenever the next hero would need it. And then the next morning, he gathered some things, got on Epona, and began to make a journey out of Metru Nui. Where would it take him? He knew not and a lot like fellow hero from another branch of Metru Nuian history, he decided to let the wind be his guide. Hahli went and arrived in time to see Epona galloping away with Lewa riding atop her. Something inside of her felt as though Lewa's destiny was beyond Metru Nui and that he would not always stay. Never the less, she felt a sense of pride and sorrow watching her childhood friend leave…**Lewa, however, didn't have any hard feelings leaving Hahli behind. However, he did make sure he got the money she owed him. The avenged spirit of the Hero of Time watched from afar as Lewa made his journey, seeing a part of himself in the young hero. He smiled with satisfaction knowing the young hero would be fine and all would be good from now on.* All right, now that the story is finished, I guess whoever was following me is probably wondering when I'm going to post up the Skyward Sword one. Well... after seeing the responses from this one, I'm honestly questioning if I should even post it up here anymore. A lot of people are confused by some of the dialogue and situations, despite that some of it is actually kind of based on situations I've seen on TV and read in books. And then there's confusion as to characters brought over or referenced from the past installments. Funny enough, a friend and I had a talk about how there are times we might find an author's work that is actually a sequel to something else. She and I then go and find the other story based on what the author tells or or if they provide a link to it, kind of like how I used to have some epics on here where the author posted up links to the previous stories. i actually did that with my signature so people could easy toggle between the three stories and start with the first one and then proceed. A lot of the things I write, unfortunately, builds on itself, so you can't really jump into part 3 and fully understand it without having gone through the other 2 because it builds on events from them and even refers to them. Granted, a lot of these are mentioned or hinted at, but I can only do so much without rewriting the whole thing all over again within a chapter. So yeah, and considering this is a prequel that is going to fit in with the rest of the series... I just don't know. So for now, it's questionable if I'm going to post it up because I'm afraid I'm going to have people tell me they're confused about some parts of it. I'm sorry, but it's just with how the way I write, there's a lot of building up on other stories, especially if it was a series. So like I said, unfortunately as a reader you can't just randomly jump in and expect to understand the whole picture, stuff builds on itself. You can't go reading Chamber of Secrets and then Order of the Phoenix and fully understand what happened in between, right? So yeah, I'm sorry but for now I'm probably going to shelve the SS story. It will still get written, but I'm unsure if it's going to be on here. I'm terribly sorry.

Chapter 28. Heh. *Moments ago, Lewa, Midna, and a stowaway broke into the Metru Nui Coliseum to face off against the evil Antroz, who spelled out his plan all novice villain style. After possessing Nokama, Antroz was ready to face Lewa in what would be a heart-wrenching battle, in the fact that Lewa would have to harm the very individual he was there to save.*Antroz/Nokama: Ironic, isn't it? You were ready to fight me, but were you ready to fight Nokama? I don't think so…*As Antroz continues to banter, he has Nokama rise into the air, brandish a sword, and hold it up, ready to concentrate dark energy at Lewa.*Antroz/Nokama: How will you ever bring yourself to harm your precious Princess Nokama, Lewa? Tell me, it must be difficult to be in such emotional agony…*As Antroz fires the energy at Lewa, he swings it back at Nokama's body, fully immobilizing Antroz in the process.*Antroz/Nokama *screaming in pain* What'd you do that for?!Lewa: Don't you know the rule of RPGs? If the main character's love interest gets possessed by the main villain, the main character attacks the love interest and she is safe while the villain is defeated.Antroz/Nokama: Oh… I didn't think you'd figure that out…*Antroz/Nokama trembles upon being lowered to the ground. As that happens, Antroz's barriers fall and Midna starts to get back up again.*Midna, getting up: Enough of your senseless talking, Antroz. The power of the Twilight compels you!*Midna uses the Fused Shadows to lash out at Antroz, expunging his spirit from Nokama. Upon doing so, however, Antroz starts to take shape again, but this time in his beast form.*Lewa: This might be a little edgy…Midna: So far, this guy seems like a total pushover. Here, I thought we'd be in big trouble. I'm sure this isn't going to be anything bad.*Antroz, in his dragon form, roars loudly and knocks over a pillar with his tail.*Midna: Okay… Fine, I'll admit this doesn't look good, but as long as…Lewa: I want to go home! I'm a hero, not a knight of the round table!Midna: That did not make sense in any way. Look, I'll help you take him on so you'll feel less afraid. Okay?Lewa: Okay…Midna: Good. Now be a good little wolfie and transform into a wolf so we can take him on together.Lewa: Why?Midna: Well, it kind of makes sense in my head. He turns into his beast form you turn into yours. Plus, while I'm pretty sure you can take him on as you are now, I'm also pretty sure you're going to be terrified for half the time if you do.*So Lewa turns into his wolf form as Antroz disappears into an unseen portal.*Lewa: Oh, now we're thinking with portals.Midna: Now we just have to know where he's going to be next…*Several portals appear around Lewa, all of them shimmering. He keeps looking around until he sees that one of them turns blue. At that moment, Antroz comes through, charging right in.*Lewa: Stay away from me, Mr. Dragon! I never wanted to kill-slay you!Midna: *sighs* Always got to do things myself.*Midna uses her shadow hand power to hold back Antroz before throwing him over on his back. That's when she and Lewa notice a scar on his chest, most definitely from when he was stabbed by the sages who don't do anything.*Midna: There! His obvious weak spot!Lewa: I don't…Midna: Do it!*Lewa, afraid of Midna more than Antroz now, goes over and starts chomping on his scar, delivering some critical damage to him. Antroz flails around before he collapses on the ground again, this time burning into yellow fire. Lewa turns back to normal and walks over to Nokama's unconscious body. Midna starts to glow as she follows Lewa, and then that sparkling energy returns to Nokama, bringing her back to life.*Midna: My sparklies…Nokama: Thank you, Midna, for returning my life and my sparklies to me.Midna: Why can't I have my own sparklies? And wait, wasn't you life energy the only thing keeping me alive?Nokama, ignoring her: And thank you, Lewa, for braving through these challenges to rescue Metru Nui. I can now see you have become a smart, cunning young warrior.Midna: Are we talking about the same Lewa here? And why won't anyone answer me?!Lewa: You're welcome.*Their thoughts are interrupted by the sound of two hands clapping. Everyone turns around to see Elitha staggering towards them. She then starts laughing a demented laugh.*Elitha: I have to admit, Lewa, it takes some slight skill to take down a total buffoon like Antroz.Lewa: Uh…? What happened to Miss Loopy Nutjob?Elitha: You didn't think the insanity affect was permanent, did you?Midna: I suspected that.Lewa: I was hoping it was.Elitha: Well, you're half right! Part of it still affects me, but I've regained enough of my sanity to get back on track.Lewa: Why do you want to kill me?Elitha: It's not just you. It's everyone, Lewa. Especially the Brotherhood… they ruined my life and I can't let them get away with that. They ruined me!Lewa: You have done that yourself.Elitha: You will not take this moment away from me!Lewa: Your anger and lust for power have already done that. You've let this "King of Shadows" twist-warp your mind until now… Now you've become the very evil you seek to destroy.Elitha: Don't lecture me, Lewa. You don't know what it's like. Lewa: Elitha, Chancellor Teridax is evil!Elitha: From my point of view, the Toa are evil!*Elitha fires a shadow bolt from her scissor scythe, almost hitting Lewa until he jumps out of the way, making her shadow bolt his a pillar and making it crumble to dust.*Elitha: Hold still! Lewa: Why should I?Elitha: Relax. This won't hurt a bit!*Elitha tries again, just making Lewa jump out of the way again. Elitha starts chasing after him, firing chain lighting at him, but Lewa simply dodges it again. She then takes flight and tries to use instant death on him, but Lewa narrowly manages to dodge it, making the floor take the full blast of her attack, making it fragment.*Nokama: Should we help him?Midna: Nah. I'd say he's got this. Besides, she said herself she's sill under the insanity affect, so I imagine her judgment it still cloudy. I mean, how can she miss all those shots?*Elitha continues to fight on until Lewa takes advantage of her clouded judgment, tricking her into attacking by feigning vulnerability, only to make a quick move and fire his Midak Skyblaster. Elitha was barely able to block it with her shield, but the knockback force sent her flying back, crashing through one of the walls.*Lewa: It's over, Elitha. I have the high ground.*Antroz laughing.*Midna: What does he want?Antroz: Well done. You might have defeated my puppet Nokama and my beast form… but can you take on… Giant flaming head afro form?!*Antroz appears in the same antidermis-like form he appeared in to Zant.*Lewa: Oh, no…Midna: What?Elitha, getting back up: What is it now?Lewa: If Antroz's stupid head gets bigger… we will all burn and die.Antroz: See the irony there?*Before Lewa could do anything, Elitha puts her hand on his shoulder.*Elitha: No… you stay here.Lewa: Elitha? What--?Elitha: You know, your insistent jarring spoke to me. Lewa: It did?Elitha: Yeah… You might have a point. Your destiny is to remain here. Mine… mine is to face my inner demons in the twilight hour. And I know just what to do…Lewa: You're not thinking…?Elitha: I have to. Lewa: You must still be crazy from Zant, because you're asking for trouble.Elitha, giggles: Well, Lewa, I'm just a troubled kind of girl.*Elitha pats his shoulder before walking past him. Before proceeding, she turns around.*Elitha: I'm truly sorry for the trouble I caused you and your ancestor… and Zant… and everyone in Alma Nui. It's my time to set things right.Lewa: You take care…*Without warning, Elitha grabs Antroz's stupid head and begins to fly upwards at full speed.*Antroz: Wait, what are you doing?! Put me down! Put me down!*Eventually, Elitha enters the lithosphere, making sure she was far from Lewa and everyone else. As she does so, she can't help but remember Lewa's kind and endearing words to her…**From far away, everyone else sees what happens by the bright, glowing light in the sky. Lewa steps forward, unsure of what to feel. While Elitha was at first some confused and insane villainess who wanted to kill him, she saved him at the expense of her own life. Unfortunately, his thoughts of grief and sorrow were cut short as Elitha's burnt Kanohi mask falls to his feet and Antroz's stupid head crashes through the roof.*Antroz: That was quite a traumatizing experience… but now I'm over it.Midna: That's it, I've had enough of you, Antroz. Your stupid head just killed an innocent girl!Antroz: It's no huge loss, really. I don't know what Teridax saw in her. She's almost as expendable as your toy Fused Shadows. Soon you'll all be my slaves and maybe I'll let you be my personal errand girl, Midna. Midna: What? What did you say?Antroz: You heard me.Lewa: Uh… you might want to take that back.Antroz: What?Lewa: Now you're going to regret that.Antroz: What did I do?Midna: Lewa? Nokama? Get out now. Because in a few moments, this castle and everything inside will be gone. I'm going to do some major redecorating… mostly with his big, stupid head!Antroz: I feel like I might have done something wrong here…Lewa: Yeah, you didn't know when to stop-shut your stupid mouth!Midna: I said get out of here, now!*With that, Lewa and Nokama are teleported before Lewa could try and stop her.*Midna: So, Antroz, you don't like the Fused Shadows? Well, don't worry, because they don't like you either. And they're going to be the last thing you ever see!Antroz: Stop, with that kind of power you're going to have us both killed!Midna: Yes. I'm going down, you're coming with me!*Midna takes a shadow spear and gets ready to impale Antroz with it. Antroz however, tries to fight back and engulf her as he did with Elitha.*

Chapter 27. There's more story. And I'm gonna post it. *Lewa resumed his excursion of the Metru Nui Coliseum, desperately trying to make his way to face the evilother puppet master of the late Zant. He was still doing everything and anything he could to get through. His exploration brought him outside where the twilight skies continued to pour rain upon him.*Lewa: Where is that key?! I can't find it! I've been run-scaling this place and can't find anything. I got all these small keys, but not the one I want!*That's when Lewa stumbles across a cage of a lone tower, protecting a familiar treasure chest. However, it opens to reveal two Lizafos and two Bulbin archers.*Lewa: This won't end well.*Lewa closed his eyes, expecting to be killed, as one of the archers fired a fire arrow at him. Lewa was shocked when he heard the arrow fall to the ground. He opened his eyes and stopped being a coward to see that the two archers were then taken out by arrows. As the Lizafos continued to run at him, they were blown up by a bazooka blast.**Lewa turned around to see a hawk flying overhead, going over to a familiar face…*Rusl: Hello, Lewa.Pohatu: Bazooka power!Nuju: Nuju here.Nikila: Ugh… I can, like, snipe things with a bow and arrow.Lewa: Um… what? Pohatu has a bazooka. Nikila has a bow and arrow… which isn't cannon. Freak-face is suddenly a rahi-tamer. Nothing makes sense! And why did you choose now to actually do something to help me?! I've wanted help throughout the whole adventure, and I didn't get anything from you! Rusl: Oh, we're not going to help you. We just wanted to make a cameo appearance before the end of the story. Pohatu: Yup. We're going to go back to doing nothing until the last chapter.Lewa: Really?Nikila: Yeah… You're more trouble than you're worth. You're worse than my crazy boyfriend who froze himself.Lewa: Well… okay then.Fang: Thought I'd drop in and make a cameo, too, before the end of this whole little story.Lewa: All right. Hey, whatever works for you, is fine by me. So we're agreed?Fang: Sure.Rusl: Yup.Nikila: Yeah.Nuju: Certainly.Pohatu: Bazooka power!Lewa: Then if you'll excuse me, I've got a world to save.Fang: Well, good luck, then, Mr. Hero. Been there, done that.Nikila: Really?Fang: Yeah. Just ask Vanille, me, and everyone else from our party.*So Lewa went and got the key to the final door and was now able to face off against the dark lord. Before doing that directly, he stumbled on a secret room, which he proceeded to raid, taking all the treasures and taking potions from the cauldrons with his bottles. And he found a fairy, too.*Lewa, holding up bottle to audience: Is this okay, mommy?Midna: Are you going to keep doing that?Lewa: Whoa, you just spoke!Midna: Yeah, but that's not the point.Lewa: This is the last time, I promise.*Lewa proceeded to make his way to the last door, using his spinner to get through some obstacles on a spinner track, eventually making his way right in front of it.Lewa: I cannot tell a lie. I was scared that day. That day I stood at the boss door. I took a look back at those spinny-top things and thought I'd never again see something so small and full of life ever again. But I had made my decision. So with my own two hands, I grabbed the door that was two times my size and three times my weight…Midna: What are you doing?Lewa: Narrating.Midna: Why? I mean, what do you think we got the narrator guy for?Lewa: Okay…*So Lewa went through the door after trying to sound epic but failing majorly. He was outside again, this time at the highest point of the Coliseum. The winds were furious and the sky was more dangerous-looking than before. Lewa took one last look into the horizon before proceeding up. Again, he had made his decision.**Lewa and Midna looked around the destroyed throne room where statues and pillars were fallen and everything looked a mess. Lewa looked up and to his surprise, he saw Nokama's unconscious body atop the statue of the goddesses.*Lewa: Hey, look, it's Nokama. And her cloak is gone. Midna: Wait… why is Nokama even here?Lewa: Hey, look, it's the red guy from earlier.*They both look over to see Antroz at the throne (and Midna will never get her question answered because the game designers never gave us a proper answer), resting his head on his palm.*Midna: I guess I'll blame it on the prophecy so I can sleep better at night.Lewa: Antroz! We've come to stop you. Your reign of terror is over! Prepare yourself, because the legendary hero has arrived!*Antroz snoring loudly.*Lewa: Is… he sleep-snoring?Midna: Oh, for the love of… Wake up, you lazy oaf!Antroz, snores: No, sweetums, of course I love you! You know I'll never love anyone else…Lewa: He's in a deep sleep.Midna: So how do we wake him up?Lewa: Can't be harder than waking up Mata Nui.*rim shot.*Elitha, stupid laugh: Don't worry, Mr. Space Angel. I'll help you!*She torches Antroz, immediately waking him up and bringing back some emotional pain from the past.*Antroz: I'm on fire! I'm literally burning alive here again! Why doesn't anyone ever help me?!*Lewa uses his air powers to get rid of the fire.*Antroz: Oh… that's better. Wait… you! Where have you been? I've been sitting in this stone chair for almost two weeks waiting for you! Do you know how bored I was and how cramped my legs feel right now?Lewa: Hey, don't blame me. Zant slowed us down and made us go through another three dungeons.Midna: And the Twilight Realm.Antroz, growls: Are you serious? I ought to wring his neck for that.Midna: That's won't be necessary.Antroz: Wait, so you… finished the job?Midna: Yup. Like a beach ball.Lewa: Do we have to go through this again?Antroz: That's too bad. He was funny at times.Lewa: I thought you wanted to kill him just now.Antroz: I was talking figuratively. *Then out of nowhere, Elitha sneaks up behind Antroz and slaps him in the back, giving him some major pain.*Antroz: OW!! I'm still hurting from when I was on fire!Elitha, stupid laugh: You're a very bad boy.Antroz: Wait… is this who I think it is?Lewa: Why? Who do you think it is?Antroz: Of course… I was wondering when you would show yourself again, Elitha. I don't know how long you eluded our former Brotherhood leader for so long.Midna: Wait, how did she get out of the closet??Lewa: I told you.Elitha: You mean… daddy's dead?! *crying loudly.*Antroz: *shoves Elitha* Yes, he's gone now. I'm in charge now.Elitha: Who?Antroz: Me, silly.Elitha: Me silly, too.*Elitha shoves Antroz back, causing him more discomfort.*Antroz: ARGH! Not good, not good!Lewa: Do you want me to…?Antroz: No, that's fine. Let's resume. Where was I? Oh, yes… I mean, didn't Zant realize what he was doing? Doesn't he also know how there's literally nothing at all to do here?! I wish I could have brought a TV here, but here I was thinking you might show up and I didn't want to miss you. Do you have any idea what happens? What if I told you there were exactly 3,649,892,503 cracks in the ceiling?!Lewa: I… don't know what to say…Antroz: Exactly! It shows you how absolutely bored I was wasting away in here! Do you know how horrible it is to even know such pointless information?! You can't use that in conversation!Lewa: I'd feel sorry-bad for you, but seeing as you put Zant in charge and thought everything would be cheer-happy for you… I don't. Antroz: Oh… you're right! Perhaps I was so obsessed with getting revenge and getting out of the Twilight Realm, I was willing to do anything and everything to make it happen. I probably should have thought that through.Lewa: Plus, you apparently know Miss Loopy nutjob well.Antroz: No, she's just some labrat experiment our leader had.Elitha, giggles: Oh, you're so sweet. Antroz: And why is she… stupider?Midna: She tried to control Zant.Antroz: Oh… that's like adding two negatives together! She was already a nutjob to begin with, but now she's made it worse!Lewa: Anyways… so this whole thing is about revenge?Antroz: Not just revenge. Power.Lewa: Power?Antroz: Experience has taught me that power is respected. Plus, with the Triforce of Power, I have easily become the most influential man in all of Metru Nui, and perhaps our whole universe! I've set off to continue Makuta Teridax's great, noble work… with the exception of using Elitha as a tool of revenge.Elitha, singing: I threw a wish in a well, don't ask me, I'll never tell…Antroz: With the power over the Twilight Realm, and my Triforce of Power combined, all shall bow down before me in a new world order! Once, I was just a simple lieutenant, but now I am so much more. The new king of shadows! I shall be feared and respected everywhere, and all who oppose me shall perish! My Triforce of Power shall serve as a beacon of chaos all will grow to fear! Then, I will be the ruler of not just this physical world, but the spiritual world as well!Midna: You're insane. And stupid.Hero's Shade: And as if we even care-like you. I didn't the first time we met.Lewa: Ancestor, you're here!Hero's Shade: Yeah, I couldn't stand Antroz's daft-drabble. Elitha: Yoo-hoo! Remember me, handsome?Hero's Shade: O_O She's still alive?!Lewa: Yes, but we made her stupider.Hero's Shade: Hmm… good call.Antroz: Well, Midna, Lewa and Lewa, I don't care what you think. I will rule the sacred realm! I will rule over the great spirit and the goddesses themselves!!! *panting/ breathing heavily*Midna: I still think you're insane.Antroz: Maybe you're right, but it matters not now. My plan will reach its glorious climax and you will all be forced to bow before me… if I haven't taken you out first. Your people amuse me, Midna. So easy to manipulate when it comes to matters of light and shadow.Midna: You're nothing, Antroz. I won't let you do this and I'll do everything to defy you!Antroz, laughs: So, the shadow has been turned by light, it seems. How amusing. *obnoxious, continuous laughter.*Lewa: Were all Makuta like this? He's annoying me.Hero's Shade: Can't say. He's the only one I ever met.Antroz: Defy me all you want, Midna, because in the end it doesn't even matter.Midna: All of you, stop referencing songs!Antroz: I have the upper hand…*Antroz looks over to Nokama's unconscious body. Midna, catching on, rushes over to Nokama, levitating up and in front of her to block Antroz. However, Antroz uses the power of the twilight to turn into clinkers and faze right through Midna, going right into Nokama's body.*Midna: Oh, that's just great… *She tries to pull Antroz's presence out, but cannot. So then she resolves to mess with Nokama's face instead. However, that doesn't go over too well.*Antroz/Nokama: Eye-opening attack.*Antroz/Nokama opens his/her eyes (I don't even know anymore!!), sending Midna reeling back a few feet. Lewa tries to run over to her, but he is cut off by Antroz's barrier.*Lewa: What's… going on here?Antroz/Nokama: Now, hero, there is no use in prolonging the inevitable. Lewa: Well, I'm ready for you, Antroz. So is my ancestor!Hero's Shade: Actually, I can't help you.Lewa: What?! Why not?*The Hero's Shade attempts to slash at Antroz, but he does nothing as he is a ghost.*Hero's Shade: As much as I want to help you takedown Antroz… and I really do… I can't. My sword faze-passes through him. Lewa: Oh…Hero's Shade: I'll continue to watch over you. Make me proud… Put my troubled heart at rest…*The old adventurer then returns to his spiritual realm as Antroz/Nokama approaches Lewa.*Antroz/Nokama: Don't worry… you'll soon be joining him.Elitha: Go get him, Mr. Space Angel!Lewa, taking Master Sword: I intend to…

Chapter 26 where we head into the final battle. Lewa also picks up an extra partner along the way. And not much of interest to say about that chapter aside from how long it originally took me to write this about a month and a half ago. *After Lewa challenged Zant-Elitha and witnessed Midna using the power of the fused shadows to impale Zant…*Midna: *imitates explosion* Like a beach ball! *Lewa set off to the Metru Nui Coliseum to challenge Zant's other puppet master and end the reign of terror once and for all.*Lewa: Hold-stop! What about… her?Elitha, stupid giggle: All the black squares look like little people. They're telling me to kill everyone I see… except for you, Mr. Space Angel. I love you. *She continues to snuggle Lewa.*Midna: Well, what do you want to do? I mean, I doubt she can cause any real harm in her delirious state.Lewa: But what about when she snaps out of it? Then she'll be track-hunting me down to kill me!Midna: Okay, well, since you're that worried… Why don't we just bring her along?Lewa: What for?Midna: She won't be in the Twilight Realm and when she does snap out of it, you can just take her down when she least suspects it.Lewa: Okay, that might work.Midna: And maybe if we're lucky, this Antroz guy might take care of her for us.Lewa: All right, I'll bring her along, but I won't like it.*So Lewa, Midna, and a confused Elitha take the Mirror of Twilight back to Metru Nui, but before Lewa could go to the Coliseum, he decided to go ahead and finish up some unfinished business.*Lewa: All right, so I got all your golden bugs. Now what?Agitha: Thank you so much! Take this giant wallet!Lewa: Just what I need to hold all the money I got from giving you the bugs.*Just outside the fortune teller's place…*Midna: Why are we here? Shouldn't we be… oh, I don't know, saving the world??Lewa: In time, Midna. Besides, we still have to explore what open to us. And what better time to do side quests than when the world is in danger-peril?!*So Lewa steps in and he meets the fortune teller…*Lewa: Greeting, all-seeing fortune teller.Fortune Teller: (speaking Huttenese)Lewa: O_O I've never been so insulted in all my life! Good day to you!Midna: What did she say?Lewa: You don't want to know.Elitha: A plague onto your houses!!*Elitha, in her confused rage, sets the fortune teller's place on fire.*Lewa: See? Told you?Midna: Well, as I told you, as long as she's with us, she can't get into too much trouble.Lewa: What do you call that over there?Midna: Ah, no one ever goes there anyway. Not when there's perfectly good game guides out there.*After the chaos that went down in the market place, Lewa works his way back to the Coliseum, which is still trapped inside a yellow prism sort of force field.*Lewa: Well, here's the place. But how do we get inside there?Elitha: It's the magical shininess the shiny! Midna: It'll have to take some kind of ancient magic to break this down.*And in the irony of her words, the fused shadows react, camping over her helmet and suddenly throwing her around like a rag doll and behind a wall until she arises again and a large, scary, freakish, seven-armed Twilight arachnid (which is a misnomer since it doesn't have 8 limbs, but whatever).*Elitha: Scary!!!Lewa: And my ancestor and I were afraid of you?*Spider-Midna begins to scale the prism and then forms a dark spear, breaking through the prism and shattering it. Upon doing so, the rain begins to fall and Midna powers back down, waking up in Lewa's arms.*Lewa: You went night-night.Midna: So…?*The both of them look over at the looming structure of the Coliseum as the rain poured down from the twilight skies. They both knew what was ahead of them. Elitha however was sad over the prism being shattered into 6,924,692,851 pieces. Midna hid back in Lewa's shadow as he took his first steps towards the looming structure. Elitha, scared of being alone, followed him.**As always, the front door was locked, so Lewa had to go and find the key to get inside. So Lewa had to work his way through the courtyard where he eventually found himself running into King Bulblin, who did not look very good shape.*King Bulblin: So we meet at again for the last time.Lewa: What happened to you? Why is your voice so high-pitched? And why are your horns sawed off?King Bulblin: Let's see you survive falling down 50 times. And plus didn't you know helmets make your voice deeper?Lewa: Oh… right… I forgot about that.*Lewa engaged in combat with King Bulblin one last time, knocking him around a bit before he yielded.*King Bulblin: Enough.Lewa: What? But that was only like 5 seconds.King Bulblin: Yeah? Well, I just realized I'm tired of this. Take this key to the front door.*He throws over a key on a rope. That was easy.*Lewa: But why…?King Bulblin: I fight for the strongest side. That is all I've ever known.*With that, he gets on his Bulbo and he rides off.*Midna: Well, that was odd.Lewa: Yes it was. But I got a key out of it!*So with that, Lewa worked his way through the other side of the Coliseum grounds, but not before he found a very darkening sight.**Lewa stopped at a rather large grave and read the inscribed text.*Lewa: "Here lies the cursed swordsman. He died of many sorrows and regrets. And kidney failure caused by a fairy."*After paying his respects to his fallen ancestor, he made his way through the front door with Elitha still following him.*Lewa: Wow, it' so… dark.Midna: No wonder, the chandelier isn't lit up.*Elitha fires at the chandelier, setting it on fire.*Lewa: Why are you nuke-burning everything?!Elitha: Because the butterflies in my head tell me to burn things, Mr. Space Angel.Lewa: … I can't even say anything at this point.*Lewa looks around and he spies a burlap sack. Taking the sack, he then stuffs Elitha inside of it and then locks her in a nearby closet.*Midna: Why did you do that?Lewa: I can't have her torch-fire at everything in sight. Plus she'll only slow us down. She'll be safe in there. Midna: Well… all right. I still can't help but feel kind of bad about mistreating that girl.Lewa: She's over 200 years old. She's not a girl.Midna: She sounds, looks, and behaves like a young woman. Lewa: I don't really know, but I don't care right now. She's staying in the closet!*So Lewa runs around the Coliseum trying to solve the various puzzles set up by Antroz to keep anyone out. Of course, it wasn't anything too hard. They were all those kinds of puzzles where Antroz just basically came in and say "Oh, hey, Lewa, come right in. And here's some stuff to make you think, but nothing too challenging."**Oh, and there were also some Darknuts present.*Both Darknuts, imitating Christian Bale: Where is he?!Lewa: Oh, no, not this again. :/Both Darknuts: Take me to Bane!Lewa: I don't have time for you!*Lewa does his best to fight them as he did the first one in the Temple of Time, but it was harder considering there were two of them. Eventually, Lewa manages to get rid of armor from both of them, and like before they both throw away their giant swords.*Lewa: Ha! You just got rid of your only weapons!Both Darknuts: Oh, really? *They unsheathe some smaller rapier-like swords.*Lewa: I forgot about that.*Lewa takes them out like before, getting hit every so often, but it was nothing that could keep him down. Eventually, he defeats them both and they fall as the other one did.*Both Darknuts: A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a little boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.Lewa: When you have stopped quoting the Batman movies… then you have my permission to die.*Lewa leaves the room, taking whatever else he can take and he moves forward through the Coliseum.

Judging by how there's no comments, I imagine everyone is freaked out by chapter 24. Well, I guess now you know the power of the old ShadowBionics who was insane and a fan of some singer you never heard of. Chapter 25 is toned down compared to that. *Lewa was taken back, not only seeing Zant go full-out insane, but seeing that the spirit guide he rambled on about was an enemy who was supposed to be dead, killed by his ancestor the Hero of Time. Now she was back, directing Zant, and now using him as a puppet for revenge. As Zant/Elitha rose into the air, the puppet Zant raised his arms out and teleported Lewa back to the Forest Temple.*Lewa: Why are we here again?Elitha: I'm going to make your death be just oh-so nice and slow, that's all…Zant: Stop the voices in my head!!!Elitha: Shut up, you!Midna: Whoever she is, just ignore her. She's trying to psyche you out. Plus I don't think she can hold onto Zant for too long…Lewa: You're right. Plus she's just being lazy by re-using past battles. Well, in that case…*As Elitha forces Zant to fire black fire at Lewa, he manages to roll out of the way and use the Gale Boomerang to reel them in, delivering a few good slashes to Zant. After taking a beating, Elitha/Zant decides to take it to another battle ground, going to the floating disk in the mines, where Lewa encountered Fang and the Fire Lord.*Fire Lord: I'm still alive…!Elitha: Try this on for size…*Elitha forces Zant to start jumping up and down in an attempt to make Lewa fall to his doom, but Lewa manages to get on the iron boots just in time.*Zant: The wonderful thing about Tiggers--Elitha: Would you please be quiet? I'm trying to help you here!*Between arguing and jumping up and down, they both get tired and stop jumping. Lewa takes the time to run over there without the iron boots and deliver a few more slashes to the dark pair. That prompts Elitha to choose another battle ground, this time in the Lakebed temple.**Before Lewa can do anything, his adaptive armor changes to fit his underwater surroundings, so he didn't need that armor King Krulloc made. As Lewa drifts to the sea floor, these four giant Zant heads rise from the ground as a tribute to Unicron's stupid head. Catching Lewa off guard, Elitha/Zant fires at Lewa from one of the stupid heads with black fire… which totally doesn't make sense, but hey, Karzahni had chains that could burn underwater, so whatever.*Gwonam: These are the faces of…Over-dubbed voice: DINNER.Elitha/Zant: SHUT UP!!! *Elitha/Zant takes a moment to take Elitha's scissor scythe and use instant death on Gwonam, which worked first try despite having only a 1% chance of working. Sadly, while they were distracted, Lewa takes the moment to use the clawshot to bring Zant closer and deliver a few slashes as Elitha/Zant tries to flounder away.*Zant: FLOUNDER!!!Elitha: You are so random!*When Elitha manages to get away, she has Zant teleport them all once more, this time back to the forest temple and back to where Lewa fought Ook in what was one of the most immature fights of all time. So immature, it was edited out for the sake of time. Zant is jumping from totem pole to totem pole, and then does the Dance of Healing each time he stops.*Zant: Shake shake shake. Shake shake shake. Shake your whole sefl.Lewa and Midna: -_-Elitha: Keep up with me!Lewa: Are you talking to me or him?Elitha: I don't even know anymore! *groans in frustration.*Midna: Looks like Zant isn't as weak-minded as you thought. In fact, I think his mind is a lot stronger than yours.Elitha: Insolent girl! How dare you even say that! I am in control here!Midna: No, you're not… Zant is. And more importantly, he's just a puppet for Antroz.Elitha, struggling: His power… doesn't surpass… my own…*And unfortunately, by trying to resist Zant's insane mind, Elitha ends up hurting her own mind in the process, leaving her susceptible to the insanity that plagues Zant… one that she helped to harbor with her insane ideas and life-style changes. Elitha's mind, once belonging to a shy, timid Matoran girl who was hurt and lost… now consumed…*Zant: You sank my ship in a hopeless place…Elitha: You sank my ship in a hopeless place…Both: You sank my ship in a hopeless place…*Lewa takes the time to roll into the totem pole Zant was on, knocking the both of them off and giving him a chance to deliver a few more slashes. Before long, Elitha has Zant teleport away and this time to an icy arena. Elitha then uses a combination of her powers and Antroz's given powers to make Zant turn into a giant.*Zant: I wanna step on all the little people! Elitha: There you are, my lovelies!*Elitha/Zant starts trying to step on Lewa, just thinking for a moment, he tries a series of ridiculous strategies that failed, up until the ball and chain, hurting Zant's foot and making him shrink back down to size as he clutches his hurting foot in pain.*Zant: The little man hurt me, mommy!Elitha: Don't worry, my little Zant, mama's here…Midna: Yup, I knew she would go insane sometime soon…*Lewa runs after the hobbling Zant to deliver a few more swift slashes. It wasn't before long that Elitha teleported them all to one last battle arena, this one being outside of the Coliseum. Zant looked madly around at his surroundings before Elitha gifted him with two broadswords. And that's when Elitha and Zant let loose. Doing a combination of a lot of blind, fury attacks and Elitha's Night Nurse dance, Zant was truly going off the walls.*Lewa: Maybe if we're lucky, they'll destroy each other.Midna: Yeah, but you never know, they might still somehow survive.*After Zant is done going upside down and bouncing off the ceiling, he stops to take a rest, allowing Lewa enough time to rush over and deliver the final slashes. Zant starts hopping up and down before he finally falls…*Elitha: I'm a little bunny rabbit… Night nurse go night night…*Elitha's power returns them all to the Palace of Twilight, where Midna was expecting she would be returned to normal with Zant defeated. She was shocked when she wasn't. Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Zant, unmasked and sitting on the big chair, laughing at her.*Zant: You didn't think it'd be that easy, did you?Midna: Um… YEAH?!Zant: You foolish princess, this goes beyond me. This is all his magic… as long as I serve my master, Antroz, he will bring me back in an endless cycle and you will never be normal again. And as long as Princess Luna is by my side, I shall live forever! And I will sit on this big chair forever!!!Elitha, singing: If you wanna dance with me, get ready, there's a party tonight. Whoa… We're gonna dance so free, let's do it for the very first time. Whoa… Zant: That's right! We're going to party tonight! And it will be a glorious FEAST!!!*Angered greatly at Zant, Midna accidentally taps into the power of the Fused Shadows, causing her hair to turn into sharp spears, which rush right at Zant, impaling him in the chest, causing him to inflate and then explode into nothing.*Midna and Lewa: O_O Holy Mata Nui.Elitha, singing: This is the Summer of Love… Whoa… I feel my heart is dancing…Lewa: What did you do?!Midna: I don't know… I was just so angry that I just… The Fused Shadows… *laughing* Man, did you see that?! The power of my ancestors did that! Lewa: You killed him!Midna: He just went like a beach ball! *she imitates the sound of a beach ball inflating, and then makes an exploding sound.* BOOM! He just popped!Lewa: This isn't funny.Midna: You're right. It's hilarious!Lewa: I don't understand you! And speaking of that, what do we do about Miss Crazy here?*Elitha turns to see Lewa and she stops singing and gasps upon seeing him.*Elitha: It's the space angel!Midna: I can pop her, too.Lewa: No! Haven't you done enough already?*Elitha walks over to Lewa and falls in his arms, laughing stupidly.*Elitha: Come on, Mr. Space Angel… let's get out of here. Mr. Big Chair is no fun and three Midna's are definitely a crowd. We can be SO HAPPY together… Okay…?*Elitha looks into Lewa's eyes with endearment, blushing as her green eyes meet his.*Lewa: Uh… is this insane-crazy thing supposed to be forever?Midna: I'm not sure. I'd think it'd be only temporary. If she was weak-minded, Zant would have easily broken her. But while she did have some dominance, she still struggled. I'd say give her about a few days before she's normal again.Lewa: But what do we do about her now? I can't have her all over me!Midna: I don't know. But it's not like she's harming anyone now.*Elitha starts trying to cuddle with Lewa, but Lewa tries to break free from her. This only makes Elitha's grip stronger, however.*Lewa: She's going to squeeze-suffocate me if she doesn't stop getting all near-close to me.Midna: Relax, she's just like a little puppy dog. I think she likes you.Lewa: Shut up! She's not little!Midna: Well, I imagine being alone on the moon would cause her some kind of loneliness. Lewa: Argh…

Poor Postman. I wonder if he heard that, because he is ordering meat in the back of the room. I'm sure he doesn't care . Is that really how Ilia lost her memory? :inallseriousness: Funniest part of the whole comedy^. Good last three chappys. This is truly a great comedy. Oh wait: I finished the game!!! ~LTT~ No, not really. He's sort of used to people being weirded out by him. Plus in this story he's not actually right there in the clear, able to hear what they're saying. In the actual game, that's not it. For this story, it is how she lost her memory. I don't even remember what happened in the actual game that made her lose her memory, so I had to improvise. Well, good to hear you finished the game. I wouldn't want to spoil the game for anyone or things like that. Okay, now we get to the moment I've personally been waiting for. Chapter 24. I've held almost nothing back (there are some things I deemed to be too dark for this story) and pulled the punches. Now one thing to note is this chapter is one of the darkest things I've written, in the sense that it features Zant going full-out insane. While humorous to some, might be frightening and not-so humorous to others. Also another thing to note is that I have consulted the "old me" to help in the writing of this chapter. For those who are familiar with my old writings in 2006-2010, then you might have an idea of what might go on. For those who aren't... you're in for a ride. *After being dragged into the Zone Where Normal Things Don't Happen Very Often via the Mirror of Twilight, Lewa made his way into the strange realm with orange-yellow twilight skies and black clinkers all around.*Lewa: They weren't kidding when they said normal things don't happen here.Midna: Lewa, before you go any further, can I ask a favor? See, since I sort of left my people, got turned into an imp, and basically live in shame, is it all right if I hide in your Toa shadow?Lewa: That's fine. Wait… so if I turned into a wolf, would, you show yourself?Midna: … Don't turn into a wolf.*As Lewa makes his way towards the Palace of Twilight, he notices is very large, armored guard.*Midna: Wait, this guy isn't an enemy.Lewa: But he's scaring me! Midna: He's just been made this way by Zant's spell… How could he do this?Lewa: He's evil and insane.Midna: No, I mean how could he do this? The idea and mechanics behind it are just perplexing. Lewa: We won't worry about that now. We have to sneak-pass through whatever things Zant has guarding this place.*So, one trip involving two glowing spheres with the power of the sun with no giant stone hands chasing Lewa and scaring me whatsoever later…*Lewa, cowering in fear: I won't be the same ever again…*With the two spheres called Sols in place, power was transferred to the Master Sword, lacing it with light. Now Lewa could go through the Palace of Twilight without being afraid of the dark. And after he stopped cowering in fear, that is exactly what he did. He eventually made his way into the palace throne room, where he met with Zant and his big chair.*Zant: Heh heh heh heh heh heh. Hee hee ha ha ha! HA HA HA HA HA Ho ha ha ha ho ha!Lewa: … Are you done?Zant: Yes, that's enough evil laughter for now. So, hero, it looks like you've made it. I have to admit, you got much further than I originally thought you would. Midna: Well, Zant, you thought shattering the Mirror of Twilight and putting a curse on Lewa would stop us, but it turns out it only made us that much stronger and effective. You might think you're all smart and powerful, but the fact of the matter is you're an insane loon who chases after fairy tales. Always have been… always will be.Zant: If it's because of what we had and because of what I did to your father, all I have to say is get over with it and move on!Lewa: What happened?Zant: Oh, she's made because I devoured her father in a fit of rage and because she and I were best friends.Lewa: Who eats someone? That's cannibalism!Zant: No, it's not, it's survival!Midna: That was my father! And I trusted you!Zant: Oh, come on, we all do silly things like that now and again, don't we?Lewa: Actually, cannibalism is looked down on in society, so frankly you should be toss-thrown in jail or an asylum.Zant: You know… I'm tired of everyone calling me insane…*Zant gets off from his throne, and the mouth of his helmet retracts. Then the rest of his mask retracts, revealing his face for the first time in the series. He no longer spoke in the deep voice his helmet gave him, but in the helium-induced voice his spirit guide apparently told him to have so he could have respect.*Zant: I am a very emotionally stable individual. You can even ask my spirit guide, Princess Luna.Female Voice: Of course, you are, Lord Helmet. They must be made to see this…*However, no one but Zant can currently hear her, so Midna and Lewa only hear silence and look at him in shock.*Zant: See? The princess says I'm fine.Midna: If you're trying to convince us, you're not doing a good job of it.Zant: You're just jealous that I have all the powers of a deity, this temple, sovereign rule of the Twilight Realm, and this big chair! I get to sit in this big chair while all of you sit in your little chairs!Lewa: Well, I do like that chair.Midna: Lewa! Don't root for the bad guy!Lewa: It's a nice chair, come on.Midna: Well, anyways, it looks like you've really gone mad with power, Zant. Seeing as you were pretty much insane from before, that's saying something. Zant: So what if I am a little off? You're going to kill me for being too crazy?Lewa: That's beside the point. You're a threat to all of Metru Nui and possibly this universe, so I have to take you down.Zant: You forget one thing, hero. The last time we had a scruff, not only did I beat and humiliate you, but I did it under 10 seconds without even moving. I even took down that light spirit while I was at it.Lewa: That was a long time ago, and I've learned so much since then.Zant: It was last week.Lewa: I learned so much in that one week. I even have the gathered-strength of my ancestor behind me!Zant: Ah, yes, the legendary Hero of Time I've heard so much about…Lewa: How do you know?Zant: My spirit guide warned me about him and you. It seems she and your ancestor have a bit of a bad encounter.Lewa: And who is she?Zant: That is not important. You think you can beat me? Lewa: But… if you give up peacefully, we can avoid and sort of angry-conflict.Zant: And give up being king? Are you insane?!Lewa: Did you ask me that? You, Mr. Crazy?Zant: You don't understand what it was like to be me! Midna refused to love me, no one respected me, and only my spirit guide ever listened to me! Before, I was nothing but a crazy lunatic!Midna: "Before?"Zant: Shut up, I have a big chair! I was a laughing stock and I couldn't fit in anywhere. No one wanted to interact with me. The serial killers, the asylum patients, the guy who lived next to me who wore tin foil blathering about the mothership… they all though I was insane! They said I would never amount to anything and I'd waste away for the rest of my life! After the king banished me to space camp for 1,000 hours, I was kicked out of all sorts of country clubs and social gatherings. I couldn't take it anymore… then one day… I met… him.*flashback.**Zant is walking out to his balcony, not wearing his helmet and looking very depressed.*Zant, voice-over: I remember that day like it was just yesterday. It wasn't though, and it was more of a mid-Thursday afternoon.Zant: I can't take it anymore! I'm not welcome anywhere! Is there any place that can accept me?! Wait… there might be one place…*a few minutes later…*Zant: I can't believe the department of sociality and experimentation didn't want me! This is all your fault, stupid head! I'm going to bang my head against the floor repeatedly! That'll show everyone I'm not crazy! *banging head on the floor* Stupid head, stupid head, stupid head, stupid head…!*That's interrupted when a giant cloud of Antidermis appears right before him.*Zant: That wasn't there before, was it?Antroz: You there. Bowling pin head. I need some help here.Zant: By the heavens… what are you?Antroz: Oh, well, you see--Zant: Are you some kind of deity? Antroz: What? No. See, my name is Antroz--Zant: What's it like to be a higher power?Antroz: I'm actually a Makuta--Zant: Can you make it rain?!Antroz: I just told you--Zant: Can I have chocolate?!Antroz: No.Zant: Chocolate rain!Antroz: What are you talking about?!Zant: Can you share your divine wisdom with me?Antroz: I told you, I'm not a higher power. I was banished here by some lazy sages.Zant: What is the meaning of life?Antroz: All right, fine, I'm a deity!Zant: How do I know you're not lying…?Antroz: That's it, I'm going somewhere else!Zant: You're going to leave me, just like my faith. You have to be some kind of deity then!Antroz: What kind of nutcase are you?!Zant: I have voices in my head. One of them tells me to burn things and speaks French.Antroz: I see… Well, I guess that means you'll be insane enough to go with whatever I tell you to do. I guess there's no harm on letting me in on my plan.Zant: Yes, mighty Antroz.Antroz: You see, in this form I'm unable to use the Triforce of Power, so I need to regain strength to return to my physical form. I've formulated and elaborate plan for ultimate domination. If I were to pass on some of my remaining power to you, you can then carry out my plan and return me to my physical form.Zant: I will do anything for you.Antroz: So are you truly willing to do this for me?Zant: Well, I might have to ask my mother first. Mom, is it okay if I carry out a divine mission and take this being's power? (womanly voice) Sure, dear, just be home in time for dinner. (normal voice) Thanks, Mom. Okay, I can go.Antroz: … I've been wandering about the Twilight Realm for so many years, and you're the first being I run into.Zant: I know! How lucky are you?!Antroz, thinking: Wow, how messed up is this guy's mind? I'm almost tempted to scan his mind, but then I'm afraid I might mentally injure myself by doing so.*end flashback.*Zant: So now you see why I have to take over Metru Nui. My powers were a divine gift, and only a fool would go against the will of a deity! You think I'm crazy, now do you? Well… maybe I'm not the crazy one. Maybe all of you are crazy! And I'm the only sane person left!Midna: You devoured my father.Zant: Yeah, I guess I am very insane. I don't know what I was thinking. Lewa: How can you be even more whack-crazy than you already are?! I don't wanna save Metru Nui anymore! I want to go home!Midna: How is it possible to be more insane that you are now?!Zant: Don't worry, I'm sure they're plenty of time before....*That's when Zant suddenly turns his head and stops moving.*Lewa: Zant? Lord Helmet?Midna: Oh, no…Zant: That's odd. I feel mellow right now.Lewa: Oh, that's great!Zant: Yeah, I know, imagine if I just went full-out insane?*Both laughing nervously.**Zant, however, starts to cry and then he lets out a painful shriek.*Zant: Get them out, get them out! Stop the voices in my head! They're all telling me what to do and who to be! I can't listen to them anymore! Everyone's staring at me! Why are they all staring at me?! I can't take this kind of pressure!*Zant then starts to bend and twist his body around.*Zant: Who turned the world upside down?! I'm scared and I don't know where everything is anymore!*Zant stops and starts hopping up and down.*Zant: I'm a little bunny rabbit.*Zant then stops and breaks into a spinning motion, racing over behind Lewa and Midna.*Zant: I never wanted to be an evil king! I just wanted to be a dancer for Cascada!*Well, we went 24 chapters without a Cascada reference, so that's a good record, right?*Lewa: What's going on?Zant: This is all your fault!Lewa: Please don't take my body and break my back over your knee!Zant: Why would I? You already broke my heart! *crying hysterically**Zant stops crying and leans back all the way.*Zant: Limbo time!Lewa: Midna, I'm scared.Zant: Solo time! (singing/imitating Rihanna) You sank my ship in a hopeless place. You sank my ship in a hopeless place. You sank my ship in a hopeless place…Midna: Don't worry, while he was pretending to be a dancer, I managed to steal the fused shadows from him. He can't concentrate on us while he's going insane.Female voice: No, but I can…*That time, Midna and Lewa did hear her voice. Lewa felt as though he heard that voice before. His fears were realized when he saw the Kanohi Mask of Death floating in front of him. He nearly fell over when he saw the mask take the form of a female warrior clad in red/black armor.*Elitha: Did you miss me?Lewa: You… you can't be real… you can't! You're dead! My ancestor killed you!Elitha, sinister giggle: He was a fool, and I see it runs in the family. He thought he killed me, but I didn't die. While he did severely weaken me, I managed to barely survive. *Elitha disappeared into the shadows.*Midna: Who is this?Lewa: The Night Nurse herself…*Elitha then reappeared from the shadows, right behind Lewa, and puts her scissor scythe against the front of his neck, bringing him closer towards her.*Elitha: My, it is good to see someone still remembers me.

This time, I'm not going to take the challenge lightly. No summoning the Seinfeld team, no dance contests, just straight out battling.Lewa: Sounds good to me.Elitha: Not so fast. I made the mistake of taking on your hero of time in this form. He defeated me due to my hubris. I'm not going to make that mistake again. This time…*Elitha turns her eyes on Zant, whose mind was virtually shredded.*Lewa: You wouldn't!Elitha: I would!*Elitha quickly reverts to her spirit form, retreating into the mask, and then racing over to Zant, slamming over his face, forcing his helmet to close around her mask, and then she forces him to stand up straight.*Elitha: The Night Nurse is in…
