  1. Chapter 5 The Observation

    Some where on a southern island.Ahhh there’s nothing better than the smell of burning protodermis in the morning. I had found a cave on a side of a cliff looking over a brotherhood fortress. I had been able to find a heat stone along the way to here from the southern continent. When I awoke I looked over the edge of the cave and the sight I saw was one of amazement: several hundred zyglak and frostelus were mounting an attack on the fort. I activated my levitation add-ons and used them to reach the top of the cliff to get a better view of the battle. The zyglak had the upper hand because of their plague and the unique properties of their weapons. The fort had a squad of visorak and a vortixx guarding it. Even as the zyglak defeated the visorak the frostelus started scaling the wall to reach the roof of the fort. I left the scene continuing my original goal.From the cliff I headed northeast towards a small village. From a note I had received from Nalo that Laviki left me after his death that told me to seek out zakano in the southern islands. As I headed in that direction I had noticed several rock raptors had been fleeing from the direction I was heading. So I quickened my pace only to see a village on fire. I summoned my elemental power and lowered the temp in that area causing the flames to freeze. As soon as I reached the now frozen village I fell into a pit that had been covered with twigs and branches. I tried levitating out of the hole only to find a force field preventing me from exiting. I then saw the scarred noble mask of fate.“Why did you freeze those fires” they turaga asked“I saw those huts were on fire” I said with no hint of denial in my voice.“Those fires were on purpose. The huts are made of leaves from a local plant and if you want to harden the leaves you have to burn the leaves.”“I’m sorry. I had no idea. If there’s anything I can do to help just tell me.” I said with an honest tone to my voiceAfter I said that the turaga left and next I know the shield dissipated and I levitated out of the hole. I then heard foot steps coming closer. I turned around and saw an insectoid rahi with the turaga riding in a hollow in the insects back.“Well stranger this here is one of the last safe havens for fe-matoran. And I lead this village.”“My name is Voxumo, toa of ice and I was an ally of toa laviki. And I…”“You said Laviki” the turaga asked in a hurried yet surprised tone“Yes. He trained me and sent me on a mission to form a team”“So I had met Laviki in the past and he was a great toa. Is he still alive?”“I’m sorry to say this but no he’s dead.” I said with a bit of sorrow.“How did he die?”“Well see he is here but transformed himself in to armor and that is what I’m wearing now.”“Oh I see. May I have a look at your shoulder armor Voxumo?”“Sure.” As I bent down to show him my shoulder armor I heard him gasp.“That symbol on your armor I have seen that symbol lately. Oh by the way my name is zakano turaga of iron and this is vanuka my frost walker.”“So you are the person I’ve been looking for. Laviki left me a note saying to look for you.”After I helped restart the fire zakano took me to his shelter where he showed me a protosteel box with three dials on it, each dial had the numbers 1 through 10. Zakano told me that the box had suddenly crashed through his roof. He also told me that he couldn’t open it even with his powers. Then I looked closer at the dials. Then it hit me.“Zakano I know the solution to opening this box.”“So what is the solution?”“ Can you go over to the dials on the box for me Zakano and turn them to the positions I tell you?” “Sure”“Well for the first dial rotate it to 8 second 5 and finally the third dial is 0. Laviki always talked about how his favorite number was 850 or a mio.”As I spoke the numbers Zakano turned the dials to the right number and as we entered the final digit there was a loud hissing sound that came from the lid of the box and out popped a small stone tablet that I grabbed midair. The tablet said “granato”. Zakano and I knew the next step in our journey. We had to seek out this granato. Zakano had also suggested heading to Stelt and that he had a fe-matoran ally that could supply us with a boat for travel since mine had been stolen. So after zakano gathered supplies we left the village making sure the village was guarded we headed to the shore. From there zakano paid the fe-matoran and got the boat and we then put the supplies on the boat. I questioned zakano why he was bringing vanuka, his frost walker, and he told me that he and vanuka had developed a close relationship and plus he discovered that if a turaga and a frost walker really trusted each other that the frost walker could increase a turaga elemental abilities almost to the level of a toa. He also says it’s just quicker riding vanuka. So after that discussion we got the boat into the water and we were on our way.

  2. I'm glad someone created this topic because i myself have AS along with other similar disorders. AS is the main reason I enjoy bionicle. I mean it's pretty bad when i forget when a certain event happen I will try to remember what bionicle were out at that time frame. I will say that I have been in several treatment centers 2 of them for 2 years so I have had my fair share of difficulties living with AS.Just remember that Even though You have AS does not mean that you can't do things everyone else can do and Don't ever let some one label. I must say there is one thing Related to disorders is that darn DSM-4 book that therapist use. They treat it like the frickin bible.They don't even seem to try and get to know their patients they just go to the DSM-4. And let me tell you Alaska's treatment for mental disorders suck, they seem to always send the person out of state for treatment.

    What I mean is that they are very quick to blame everyone else for their social awkwardness.They absolutely believe that because they have a diagnose, everyone should bow down to them and respect them. I mean sure, they're not allowed to discriminate you, but you don't have to be so sensitive about looks or comments.Not everyone is going to like you, and if everyone likes you, you're faker than Nicole Kidman's forehead. My friend had this classmate with Aspergers. When he raised his hand to ask the teacher about something, he responded with "let's talk over lunch!".What do you think he did? He got his lunch, put it down right next to them and started talking. And then he started whining because people thought it was funny.I mean, yeah it was funny, but it's not like they laughed AT him, they laughed WITH him.But being totally backwards socially, he doesn't have the slightest self-irony whatsoever. Now, who's to blame for this? Can it be blamed on someone?Or maybe he should just stop hiding behind his diagnosis and refuse change, and actually improve his social skills? Because it is possible.

    I must say that that example can be fore any type of disorder physical or mental. Example a person in a wheelchair could use it to his example by cutting everyone in a line just to get to the front and use the Wheelchair as a excuse when confronted on it. There many more examples. Point being a disorder can be misused.
  3. I don't have a good answer to this but a good question is how is it that Teridax can move so quickly when in antidermis form since he traveled all the way from the pit to the control room of mata-nui since that must have been over 300 miles. My only theory is that maybe he was able to catch a wind current to just carry him there. And how in the world did he get under water as a gas since that would not normally work?

    Teleportation. And maybe he was in his liquid form in the Pit.
    Teleportation is a possibility, But from what I've read The makuta do not have a liquid version of Antidermis.Here's a example When Mata-Nui created the Makuta he took antidermis from that pool on a southern island which at that point they were a liquid. Then the Antidermis was a solid before the makuta evolved to a gaseous antidermis.So in all reality they have gone through every state of matter except Plasma which is very very unlikely that they could have due to plasma's unique properties.LIQUID>SOLID>GAS.So it is unlikely that he would have been a liquid when entering the pit. And i thought that makuta could not use physical powers while without a body. or maybe he just influenced Maxilos to come to the shore or cord before he entered the pit.
    Actually, it goes solid>liquid>gas. Teleportation is a mental power. And I thought they could consciously switch between forms.
    When i wrote LIQUID>SOLID>GAS i was referring to the makuta order of forms.LIQUID when they were in that pool on a southern island SOLID after Mata-Nui brought the Makuta into existence and gave them a physical bodyGAS When they evolved And Makuta can't voluntarily change their state of matter because if they could they could have stopped their transformation into gas within armor.

  6. I will admit that I don't think that a matoran or any other biomechanical being could die of old age but I do feel that they could die of thier mechanical components eventually breaking down. I know many will say that they can just repair themselves, and my answer to that is you can only repair something so many times before thier is no hope of fixing it. Also I think that them being Biomechanical has little to do with how long they live because look at the Agori/Glatorian, Most of them are fully organic with barely any mechanical implants and yet they have lived over 100,000 since they were living on Spherus-Magna before the Great beings even started working on Mata-Nui. making them older than Takua or any being living the the MU or even Mata-Nui.

  7. Chapter 4 The Test part 3

    Day 3 of testI never realized how incredibly annoying ocean waves could be. I had set up my camp on the edge of the jungle overlooking the beach. About 4 hours after I fell asleep I suddenly started to choke on water; the tide had come in and flooded my camp. Luckily I had tied my sack to a tree branch to protect it. So I moved to a different location that was no where near water but had thorn bushes around, feeling that everything was good I went to asleep again. Then get this I once again woke up to choking on water, it had decided to rain heavily near a lake but I had received no rain what so ever but the lake had flooded and I was now 3 feet deep in water. I gathered my supplies and cursed at the water, right after I cursed at it it suddenly rose another 2 feet. I decided that I was obviously not meant to get any sleep so I headed to high ground and took out the sword Laviki left me to see where I should head next. After 10 minutes the sword suddenly jolted in my hands and pointed toward a huge cliff face, so naturally I decided to follow my league and head toward the cliff.Once I had put the sword away I gathered the rest of my supplies and headed to the cliff, which took me about 20 minutes to get there. Once I made it I realized that there was no opening or cave mouth on the side of the cliff, so I decided to take out the sword to see if it had possibly been wrong but when I took it out it still pointed to the cliff. I took a break and went to lean on the cliff and found my self on my back with a crushed bula berry leaking it juice all over my pack. I quickly got to y feet to see what exactly had happened and how it happened. I could see the clearing from whence I had just been but as I went to walk back out I was met by a huge electric shock and propelled against the wall effectively smashing yet another bula berry. It seemed to act like a two way mirror of no return“Of course it seems everything is against me today. Watch it a little lava rat and kofo-jaga will fight me and win next!” I said aloudRealizing that I could not get out of this cave I took the light stone out of my pack after cleaning up the bula berry mess. As the stone illuminated the cave I realized that there was a long dark tunnel at the back of the cave. Knowing no other options I headed toward the tunnel not knowing how long or far down the tunnel went.I had been traveling the tunnel for what I think was 4 hours and nothing of major importance had happened except your occasional archive mole and such. I stopped for a second to rest when I saw that the tunnel had a turn coming up and there appeared to be some light coming from the turn so I ate a bula berry and started walking back down the tunnel. When I turned the corner I saw that there was a huge cave with several light stones in the ceiling illuminating the cave. As I entered the cave I heard a deep growling coming from a darkened part of the cave. Suddenly a Longfang came lunging at me at full attack mode as if it had been on edge because of something else. I was lucky enough to get out of the way quick enough to avoid injury but I noticed that it had a large gash on its body, supporting my theory that something else had been here.Knowing I could not out run it I quickly thought of a plan to lose it. I dashed for the next tunnel with the Longfang close behind. I knew that in my pack I had a bula berry that had rotted hoping that this would work I threw it behind me and threw my extra heat stone at it. As soon as the heat stone hit it the fruit exploded and created a large wall of flame that blocked the Longfang from me. As I hoped the Longfang gave up the chase. Even though it gave up the chase I did not stop running till I was at least a mile away from the fire.I decided to rest for a minute and pulled out my sword to see if I was still going the right way. The sword confirmed that I was still on course. After my encounter with the long fang I had all my senses on full alert as I traveled even farther into the tunnel. Eventually I came across another cavern but something was different: there were foot prints all around the cave, worse so was they belonged to a bipedal creature and had definite claws. I followed the foot prints till they suddenly ended against the cave wall. As soon as I went to turn around a large form dropped from the ceiling. The being I saw before me was what looked like a skakdi but with four arms; two whip like tails and spikes running down the whole body. One of the arms looked more like a tentacle with small pincers running along the whole tentacle. The being was easily 8 feet tall and was white and purple.Then to my surprise it spoke to me in what sounded like multiple deep voices with a horrible hissing added in “I see you finally made it Voxumo.”“How do you know my name and second off what are you?”“I’m a shape shifting rahi by the name of Kavanex and one of the last of my species. And I know your name because you fought me already.”“I would know if I had fought you.”“No you wouldn’t because I was in a different form. Maybe this will help you remember.”As I watched his head became a small version of the rahi I fought in that snowy region. “That was you? Why did you attack me?”“I attacked you because I had seen a turaga come into my territory and leave some device. Knowing that the device must bee important I collected it and kept it for my self, until you came.”“Well it’s not my fault that he went into your territory. I had no knowing that he had just left me and told me to find items and if I collected them I wou…..”“ I don’t care for the reason why but for the fact that you did and I now have the other item you need but I wont let you live long enough to claim it you pathetic excuse as a toa.”“No one gets away with corrupting the title of a toa, especially some overgrown insect that has to depend on others forms and powers to defend it self! Now I hope you’re ready because at the end of this you will not remember anything but the memory of your defeat!” I said with a shining fire in my voice.

    I realized that I could probably not beat this rahi, but maybe if I’m lucky I can outrun it or cause it to become stuck. I drew my sword and stood there staring into Kavanex’s eyes thinking what I could do. Then all of a suddenly the four arms of Kavanex started glowing as if they were gathering energy. I knew that I had no hope of running from this attack so as the bolts were about to leave his hands I activated my mask of probability and increased the chance of them missing. Just as I had hoped they left his hands but went any where but me. As an unsuspected benefit they struck the few ligtstones in this cave effectively coating us in darkness. I’m so glad that I don’t only rely on my sight because I was able to get to the ground and crawl to the tunnel where I jumped to my feet and ran back towards the first cave I entered. As I was running I could hear the heavy footsteps of Kavanex running towards me."You may have been able to take out the lights, little Toa, but I can still smell you and your fear."Knowing that there would be no use in talking since that would only give him better chances of catching up to me. Just as I turned into the tunnel where the fire had happened I remembered that there was still the Longfang somewhere in this place since he could not escape. Seeing that the Longfang could be an unsuspecting ally I once again activated my mask power I increased the chance of the Longfang attacking Kavanex. As I had hoped I ran right past the Longfang and heard it start growling at Kavanex and eventually lunge at him. But as soon as I heard the growl I also heard a loud thud and knew that that was most likely the Longfang being thrown against the rock wall, although it did slow down Kavanex enough for me to get to the entrance of the cave. I had seconds to figure out a way to get through that wall. Then out of nowhere I took the Kanoka disk I had and threw it at the wall seconds before I would have struck it. Even though I knew the wall would not teleport the disk caused the wall to become intangible allowing me to get through it and still grab the kanoka before the wall destroyed it.I stopped just feet away from the wall to see Kavanex standing there looking at me with a furious glare in his eyes.“Wow you honestly think I can not get through this wall.”“Well that is what I’m hoping, but obviously you are going to tell me you have some way of getting through it. Am I on the right track?”“Yes, but instead of telling you I’m just going to do it.” And as soon as he finished speaking his body started to become transparent and move through the wall. You could see the energy from the wall trying to stop him but with no effect.I had only seconds to get away from here before he got all the way out. Not knowing what options I had I started running back towards the beach not knowing where else to go. Then to my surprise I saw trees flying through the air behind a sure sign that he was following me once again. I was only a few feet away from the water when I was struck by a huge energy bolt that racked my whole body leaving no part unstung.“So this is how you will end lying on a black beach with no friends or allies to mourn you. You Toa are such pathetic creatures, thinking that you’re invincible and can not be defeated. Well here’s news for you little snow flake, you are nothing more than a snowflake in the wind not knowing where or when you will melt.”“And what makes your kind so much better.”“What makes us better is that we can accept our fate and do not try to throw ourselves in to other peoples business putting risk to our selves.”“But what you don’t realize Kavanex is that some times you have to intervene to help others and even yourself. And that is what will be your down fall right now.” I said with a soft chuckle“What are you talking about this will be your downfall you pathetic….’ He was cut off mid sentence by a sudden force hitting his back.Earlier on my journey I had helped a group of Kavinika that were being attacked by several large nui-jaga. Apparently they had remembered and gathered their friends and were now attacking Kavanex. Seeing an advantage I kicked Kavanex square in the jaw effectively propelling him over my shoulders and into the ocean behind me. As I went to look at him I saw that he was squirming in the water and it looked as if the water was actually burning him. Feeling some sense of mercy I pulled him out of the water and set him on the beach. When I set him on the sand I noticed that the kanoka I was looking for was imbedded in his abdomen. I took my sword and scraped the kanoka out of him. I then looked down at him and said with a voice as cold as the element I control“I want you to remember Kavanex that you are only alive because I felt mercy for you and felt that you deserve a more memorable defeat. I’m going to leave now and leave you here unconscious with my new found friends guarding you against any thing that might decide to harm you while you are down.”“Thank you and I will not forget this Toa.”After that I took the two kanoka and merged them into one and took it in my hand and struck my self with it. For a few seconds all I saw was black and then I was standing in Laviki’s hut, but for the life of me I could not see Laviki anywhere but his sword and shield he had as a toa were on the floor with a tablet next to it that said ‘for Voxumo’ I took the sword and shield in hand when suddenly a violent burst of energy leap out of the tools and consume my whole body and I blacked out. When I came to I felt that my powers had returned yet I also felt a new light but strong armor covering my body. I got to my feet and walked over to Laviki’s special mirror that was actually solid water that showed a perfect reflection of me. To my surprise I was wearing armor that reflected what Laviki looked like when he was a Toa, with the only difference being my mask and the coloration of the armor instead of it being purple and black it was white and black. I also saw a note telling me to meet with Nalo who would be waiting at the local inn.Figuring that no harm would come I went to the inn to see Nalo. As I entered the inn I saw Nalo sitting at a table. Apparently he saw me enter the inn because he motioned me to come over and sit with him.“So I see the gift Laviki left you.”“Yes. Speaking of Laviki where is he?”Nalo took a second to answer and I could obviously see the distress in his voice. He finally found his voice“ I don’t know how to tell you this Voxumo, so I’m going to be blunt, the village was attacked by a group of visorak and Laviki stood before them and actually defeated 10 of them himself. But during a struggle with a Keelerahk he was hit by its spinner and he survived the attack but was seriously injured. I personally took him to my hut and tried to heal is wounds but I could not.”“Wow he sacrificed himself to help everyone else. He was a great person.”“Yes he was. After I tried to heal him he told me to get a friend of his who was a nynrah ghost. So I found him and brought him to Laviki, and to my surprise Laviki told him to take his body and craft it into a special armor for a friend. The Nynrah ghost complied and what you have now is Laviki.”“I didn’t know. He gave this armor to me and I will use it to complete my destiny in his honor!”“He also left me with this note for you.”Nalo handed me the note and after I read it I realized it was an outline of what that prophecy meant and what I must d to complete it. It was surprising how simple the task was: I had to find 5 beings and form a team, each being would lead me to the next. We would have to complete a mission that could save everyone if we were successful, I do not know what the task is. I took the note and bid Nalo farewell. He said that Laviki had left me a strange vehicle that could travel over land and water but only could last one trip without stopping at all. I gathered supplies and said farewell to everyone one and hopped on the vehicle and left to complete my destiny.

  8. Chapter 3 The Test part 2

    Day 2 of testI had awoken to bright and rich sunlight shining in my eye. After several minutes of lying there thinking I woke up and quickly gathered my supplies and headed towards my original goal. As I was walking towards the east I noticed that there was a sudden absence of rahi not even a bird was chirping.I had finally gotten out of the forest but just as I exited the trees the ground gave out on me and I had fallen into a hole several feet down. As I had started getting up I notice that I suddenly was stuck to the ground and could not move any part of my body except my head. I had started looking around when I heard what sounded like a chirping hissing noise. Suddenly I saw 4 glowing blue eyes out of the shadows and whatever those eyes belonged to started moving towards me out of the shadows. Unexpectedly clouds had moved out from in front of the sun exposing the rahi. I almost wished I had never seen it. It had a spider like appearance but a long tail with what looked like an ice pick on the end, its legs ended in razor sharp points.I started hearing a sizzling noise. I looked around for the source of the noise when I looked at the webbing that had immobilized my body and realized the webbing that held my right hand was litterally disintegrating. Just has the rahi shot more webbing at me I grabbed my sword and used it to catch the suns rays with destroyed the webbing before it ever got to me. Apparently the rahi was surprised and had started walking towards me with its jaws snapping open and close. Once it had gotten in range of me it started to try and strike me and luckily I was able to move the sword to block the tail and the tail actually hit the webbing holding my feet down and snapped it. As soon as my legs were free I went to jump onto a ledge in the hole when it had launched webbing at my feet. I only had second to activate my kanohi and lowered the chance of the web holding. It luckily worked but affected my jump and I had to grab hold of the ledge with my hands. After I made it to the ledge I jumped just high enough to get back on the surface. As I fell to my knees I felt the ground rumbling. I knew what ever it was it could not be good and started looking for some sort of good defending position only to find a large ice covered stone.

    I ran to the rock and climbed up it. As to have a good view of what was going on. Then a large limb came out of the ground then another until the whole creature was out. The creature I had encountered was actually a puppet attached to the real creatures head.This rahi was easily twenty feet high and its body consisted of two abdomens each with two legs and a set of pincers. The rahi looked like it was made out of pure ice but had veins of purple running throughout the ice. Then I saw a kanoka frozen into the rahis forehead. As I was staring at it it had apparently seen me as well and took one of its pincers and launched transparent webbing from it and hit the rock I was standing on. I had barely jumped off in time before the rahi retracted the web successfully pulling in the rock and crushing it in its pincer.I had to find some way to get on it’s forehead without being hit by the webbing it kept throwing at me. I had a plan that may work. I went over to a large cliff and stood there taunting the rahi into firing its web. Just as the web would have hit me I moved out of the way. I started running towards the forest and the rahi tried to follow me but had forgotten that it was attached to the wall. Just as soon as it got one of its other pincers to snap the web I had disappeared into the forest. I could here its huge body snapping trees as it ran after me. I hoped that there might be some heat from heat still in the heatstone. As I approached my previous camp spot with the rahi still close behind me I saw a swarm of hoto bugs surrounding the heatstone not caring about their stings I grabbed the stone and threw it at the rahi head just as it entered the clearing hoping that it would hit the spot I needed it to.I then heard the rahi scream after being hit by the heatstone and as I hoped the hoto started flying towards the only source of heat in this frozen forest. If rahi could have talked I know he would be praying just as the swarm of hoto hit his head. He tried to shake the creatures off and in the process the kanoka had flown out of his now melting head. I ran to catch it and was successful. As I looked back I saw the Rahi suddenly turn into a cloud of what looked like black smoke that moved like an eel and floated out of the forest.I have no idea what or how it did that but I made sure to also get out of the area. As I walked out of the forest the blade I had in my sack flew out of it and struck me in the back which caused me to fly head long into the kanoka disk. There was a bright flash and next thing I know standing on a beach with trees that looked like they were made of crystal. Suddenly I realized they were made of crystal but were swaying in the breeze. I looked at the ground and saw that all my supplies were still with me even the kanoka disk. I decide to sit down and gather my thoughts and plan my next move since the sun was now setting. As I sat there I enjoyed the warm breeze coming off the sand, while realizing that I would have to get some sleep on this strange beach.

  9. Chapter 2: The Test

    490 years prior to the great cataclysmWell Voxumo, this is your last test.” Laviki spoke from a distance away. It has been 10 years since Laviki started training me. Laviki focuses more on using my mind and my senses instead of direct fighting although he has taught me so many different battle techniques, heck I even beat him 4 times. Even though he’s a turaga he is mighty agile and nimble. Laviki in the last 2 years have focused on my senses believing that all senses should be at the same level: locating Laviki’s staff blind in a practice field filled with a captured gate guardian, having to smell Laviki while he used a kanohi Volitak in a heavily wooded forest etc. Laviki was really surprised how quick I learned how to use a kanohi and my elemental powers. During our time together he and I have gone from teacher and student to friends that would do anything for each other. He would always talk about his past adventures which I enjoyed listening to, many times we just sat in his hut talking and laughing. Then just five days ago he told me that we would be starting my final test.“So Laviki what must I do for this test?” I could not believe this is the last test.“I have hidden two teleportation kanoka disks in a frozen forest and one in another location which you will have to find for yourself. I have placed the two kanoka in hard to reach places in each area places that no one even a toa will get too easily.”“What are the dangers?”“I don’t know.” Laviki said with a serious face“Really? Your joking right you must know what dangers there are.”“Nope. And if you succeed in gathering the two disks hit them against each other.”“Why?”“Oh you’ll see why soon enough. One disk can be found in a frozen pit while the other can be found among the darkness.” His words are confusing sometimes.“Okay.”“You will have four days to complete this task. I have also put several packs of supplies through out the trees and you will find a sword hidden among the snow banks.”“Well thanks for making this a challenge.” I said with a laugh.“Oh and here is a bula fruit to start.” He says as he hands me the fruitI start absorbing the energy and once there was none left I noticed a strange feeling.“Laviki where did you get that bula?”“Oh I grew it myself and it cancels your elemental powers for five days.”I cough and start feeling a bit of irritation building up in me, “Why the heck did you do that?”“It is a part of this test. Using elemental powers would make it really easy so I’m making you do this without your powers and use all that I have taught you. See you later.”“Wait where are you goi…” He suddenly disappeared. Well I guess this is a good time to start my test. I kind of stood still for five minutes just taking in the surroundings and trying to think like Laviki. After that I finally found some form of a clue, which was sunlight reflecting from some metallic substance covered by thick ice. I started heading in that direction when I had this little hoto fire bug start following me from behind. I didn’t bother getting away since it was not causing any harm to me. I finally made it to the ice mound only to have a revelation: How the heck am I going to remove the ice without my power. I then sat and looked around for any thing that may help. I did not find anything at all that would help, but then I had a burning sensation on my back. I went to grab what ever was on my back, and then in my hand was a hoto fire bug probably the one that was following me earlier. Then something went off in my head like a Madu cabolo; if I could get enough Hoto I could get them to cover the ice mound to free that sword with the intense heat their bodies gave off, but how would I do that. I then had a really good plan and I executed my plan. Laviki had showed me a tree during one of our training sessions that secreted a very sticky substance. I was lucky enough to find one of the trees and gathered some in a vile I was caring with me. I then found a decent sized rock. I headed back to the ice mound and placed the Hoto on the rock and then covered his legs with the sticky substance. After I finished that I placed him and the rock on the ice mound. I walked away, about 40 yards away so that I could watch my plan unfold. I started to hear what sounded like very angry clicking then I saw this small cloud of fire red Hoto heading towards the Hoto I placed on the ice mound. Then as I had planned their body heat rapidly melted the ice covering the sword. I waited for 1 an hour till each and every Hoto was gone before I attempted to collect the sword, the reason I waited so long because I just really did not feel like dealing with over a hundred Hoto bugs. Apparently I had spent about six hours completing my plan and gathering the sword. When I was examining the sword, that was white and black, I found a small switch on the pommel of the sword. I decided to press the switch and next thing I know the sword was pulled by some unknown source and I could not budge the sword at all so I pressed the switch again and I could once again move the sword. From several different tests I determined that the sword acted like a compass and would point north whenever I pressed the switch. When I figured it out the first thought that I had was that’s so much like Laviki always hiding something in ordinary objects. I then decided to head towards the east towards an area covered in dense forest thinking that most likely the first disk that was supposed to be involved with water so I figured a lake and most likely a hidden lake and where better to hide a lake than in a dense forest. When I entered the tree’s I automatically caught some branches breaking about two miles away, my sense of hearing is so sharpened that I can hear a sound three miles away. I thought to my self that it was most likely the rahi that was suppose to guard the disk keeping an eye on me, but I made no indication that I had heard the creature. After walking for several hours I found two of the supply packs Laviki had hidden. Each pack contained two Bula fruit, a lightstone, a heat stone and five Madu. So luckily I found two packs so I knew I had at least two days worth of food, two light stones, two heat stones and ten Madu. I took one of the heat stones and placed it in a small hole surrounded by rocks. I decide that since it was getting dark I would call it a day and start up earlier tomorrow. As mind started to get drowsy I also decided that I would head towards the direction I had heard the creature earlier.As sleep took over I could have sworn that a warm breeze covered my body in a forest of snow.

    Chapter 1: The Revelation

    500 years prior to the great cataclysmAll I see is white. Overwhelming white. I lift my head only to realize there's an object covering my face. As I lift my hands to remove the object I see that my hand is covered with some sort of metal with tissue underneath. In fact my whole body is similar to my hand. Then I discover the magnificent yet horrid truth: I'm the thing I always enjoyed and created a bionicle.After that revelation I start trying to remember what events occurred prior to waking up in the snow of mata-nui knows where.As I search my mind, I find that my memory has faded; I can only remember snippets of my human life. I don't even remember my name. Although, I can remember some general things about BIONICLES - the elements, what colors go with what element, what Toa and Matoran are, and that most people wear things called kanohi masks - but I feel lost and strange. Just then, a being emerges from a snow drift.. Just then a being emerged from a snow drift. The being was roughly 4.5 feet tall, was also wearing a mask and his armor was white. I remembered enough to identify the being as a ko-matoran. The ko-matoran walked up to me and said "so I take your not from around here. By the way my name is Nalo. I live in these mountains."

    I felt that I should introduce my self “It’s nice to meet you Nalo. My name is Voxumo.”“That name is very unique.”“Also you are right I'm not from this here. Where is here anyway?" I ask the ko-matoran" well we're on the northern continent close to a village of fe-matoran." Answers Nalo" would you be willing to guide me to that village?" I asked" I was planning on heading there anyway to pick up supplies, and it would also be good to have a travel partner so sure why the heck not. But it will take about a full days travel and we will most likely camp during the night. ""That will be perfectly fine I'm in no hurry at all Nalo.”We had to head back to his cabin that was about 2 hours away. While there he gathered any supplies he may need including a light stone, heat stone and a small dagger. He suddenly tossed me a short sword. “I noticed that you have no form of weapon on you so I’m giving you this short sword in case we have to defend ourselves.”“Thanks Nalo, I’ll return it to you when we get to the village.”“You don’t need to return it I’m giving it to you as a gift.”We finally left his cabin an hour later. After several hours he and I started talking while we were traveling. I had so many questions I would have liked to ask him so I started with the easiest questions first such as the landscape and other things like that. He eventually asked me whether I was a Toa of ice. I simply told him that I really don’t know because I experienced some memory loss when I arrived here.I didn’t know how he would take the truth about my origins.We had to stop and find some form of shelter since it was almost dusk and Nalo did not feel comfortable traveling at night due to a report of a mauka in this area. We found a small cave that was hollowed out on the side of a snow covered hill. Nalo took out the container the heat stone was in and placed it in a small groove in the ground he had carved. I must admit that I was surprised by how warm that little stone kept the place.After Nalo and I had set up our small camp I asked him how long he thought it will take us to get to the village. He replied that maybe another 6 or 8 hours and that the rest of the way would be much warmer than the first part of the trail. After about an hour I was out for the count.I woke up to the chittering of a single kofo-jaga that had started to climb up my leg. I quickly got to my feet and kicked my leg till the little thing let go.I heard laughter coming from Nalo “Well at least you’re up now,” I glared at him “Hey you weren’t waking up and I had been up and ready for two hours. While you were sleeping I went and grabbed some bula berries for our breakfast.”“Thanks.”Nalo and I sat down in the entrance of the cave and ate the bula berries. We had then gathered our supplies and left for the last part of the trip. We luckily encountered no obstacles at all and were in the village in only four hours.Once we had gotten into the village Nalo showed me some of the high lights of the place including the market. Since I had no money he was nice enough to buy me a small map tablet that included the southern continent, northern continent, Xia and Stelt. Even though the map was not one of the most detailed maps available but it served its purpose and even included the estimated travel from one location to the next via boat.“Thanks Nalo for buying me that. I wish I had something to give you in return.”“Well there’s one thing you can give me,”“What’s that?”“Come and see me again and don’t forget me.”“That I can do, and thanks again.”Just then a Ba-Matoran came running up to Nalo and I and he looked absolutely exhausted.Nalo turned towards the matoran with a concerned look on his face“What is it Vinonata?”“Toa Laviki sent me to retrieve you and said that it was urgent.” He said with gasping breath.Nalo and I started running towards Laviki’s hut and boy am I glad Nalo knew where it was or else I would have gotten lost.I had to ask what was on my mind, “Who’s Laviki?”“Oh ya you don’t know. He is the only toa in this village and is a veteran of many battles. Most of the villagers revere him as the wisest being they know.”“Sounds like he is someone of importance.”“That he is and he is also a Toa of Gravity.”We finally made it to Laviki’s hut that was in like the center of the village hidden deep in the market. We were about to knock on the door when it swung open and a black and purple toa stood in the doorway.The Toa then spoke in a soft voice “Thanks Nalo for bringing him here.”“Anything for you, Laviki.”Nalo then looked at me, “Voxumo this is Laviki, Laviki this is Voxumo.”“It’s very nice meeting you Laviki.”Laviki turned to Nalo and put his arm on Nalo’s shoulder and said. “Well Nalo I need to keep Voxumo with me so if you don’t mind could you two say your farewells so that Voxumo and I and start his training.”“Wait you mean that your going to train me?!”“And not any type of training but training to become a Toa.”Nalo turned to me and looked at me with a subtle hint of regret “Well I hope that you will come and see me sometime. Luckily I showed you where I live, and I wish you the best of luck and may the Great Spirit watch and guide you on your journey”I took my hand and gave him a fist bump “I will make sure I do and I hope that Mata-Nui guides and watches over you too.”With that last word Nalo turned and started walking away and deeper into the maze that is the market and I knew that I would probably never see him again but deep in my mind I knew I would like too.I turned toward Laviki and he welcomed me into his house. When I went into his house he guided me to a table and found a seat for me.I gazed at Laviki with a studying like stare “So Laviki how did you know that I was here?”“Well I have a mask of clairvoyance and one day I was sitting in my hut looking out a window when I saw a vision of a being from another dimension and world fall through a hole that had been covered by snow. I then saw the being’s body disintegrated and reform into a white biomechanical form and land in a forest covered by ice.”“That sounds like me and how I arrived here even the method. Now that I think of it I remember falling through a deep black hole and the next thing I remember is waking up in a snow drift with this body. But that still doesn’t explain how you knew it was me.”“Well after I had that vision I tried to figure out its meaning but I couldn’t. Then about 5 weeks ago I received another while asleep. This time there were words floating all around a white room then one materialized out of nowhere but was written in an ancient dialect that I did not know then more words started appearing faster than I could follow. I suddenly woke up and was at this very table carving the symbols into the table with a piece of sharp rock. I had never had that happen where I performed an action while asleep and having a vision. Not being trained in this language I took a small trip to Metru-Nui and had an old Onu-matoran friend of mine translate it.”He took a deep breath and continued. “My friend told me that the whole thing translated out to a type of prophecy/history. He wrote it all down for me” As he said that he handed me a small stone tablet with writing on it.I took the tablet and started to read it and to my surprise I could read the matoran alphabet like I always knew how to. The tablet read as follows.

    He who looked into his own reflection saw anothers

    And in that reflection stood his soul and a single word

    Voxumo

    Even though he had never seen that word he knew it as the truth

    The truth that was his name

    His soul had gotten sucked into a gravity far greater than any other

    And in that gravity he found a friend, a teacher and a team

    This Voxumo would one day be known by few

    But would impact millions of lives

    He who received this vision and understands it is destined to teach the frozen one“From what I understand I’m the one who is destined to train you and help you start your destiny.”“Well Laviki I may not know why I was chosen for this, but I cannot refuse my destiny and I will be honored to be taught by you.”“Well then there is only thing left to do before I start your training and this is probably the most important part.”After he said that Laviki grabbed me by the shoulders and transferred some form of energy into me. I stood there frozen for what felt like a lifetime. The energy traveled through my whole body and it felt like millions of insect crawling under my armor even my mask was gaining energy.When I could finally move I looked around for Toa Laviki, although I realized I was lying on a bed made of Bula tree leaves. Suddenly a short being with black and purple armor and a small staff with a gem connected to the top of the staff that swirled as if a black hole was in there.Then the being spoke, “I know this may be a bit of a surprise but you had the form of a toa but not the powers of one. So I sacrificed my toa power to grant you the powers that belong with the form even your kanohi. But in the process I was transformed into a turaga, but even with this form I still can train you on how to use you powers and your kanohi but the training won’t be easy and could take 13 years to finish.”“I understand and I do not care how long it takes just that I give my all and follow your training.”“Good then from this point on you are a Toa of Ice and I will be your trainer, mentor and above all else your friend."

    End of Chapter 1

  11. I really like the build of this moc. I'm also really glad that their is another feline type moc and as a bonus it is associated with Ice which is my favorite element next to shadow. I think the body of the moc is unique and the limbs go smoothly with the body. I personally give it a 8/10.Great job I hope to see more of your mocs.

  12. Wow this looks simply amazing, the color scheme goes over well and I like the cape, although the one or two white parts do look silly.

    When you say white parts do you mean the armor and legs? The only reason why there is white parts is because he is a Toa of Ice. Although before getting new armor from Laviki his color scheme was white and grey but because laviki's color scheme was black and purple and laviki transformed into armor for Voxumo that is where the black comes in.
  13. Well In simple terms this is my secondary self-moc with my primary self-moc being Voxumo The Reality Walker ( dont have any pictures of him yet )And here is the short bio ( I could have done a longer one but wanted to keep it simple and short)1310963482m_DISPLAY.jpghere is the gallery for himhttp://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/244251Toa Voxumo Toa of iceBiographyToa voxumo was at one point in time another being from another dimension. But when he arrived in the matoran universe he was toa of ice. When he arrived a ko-matoran led him to a village that contained a toa of gravity named laviki who had seen his arrival in a vision and knew of his past. For 1 year laviki trained toa voxumo how to use his powers and to not rely on only his vision but hone all his senses. After toa voxumo’s last training session laviki told voxumo that he was a real toa now and immediately transformed himself into armor that became toa voxumo’s armor and tools. Before laviki died he told voxumo to seek out beings that he had encountered during his travels. (I can not reveal the rest of is biography except that he made it to matru eventually. (If you want to know the rest of his life just read the switch mirror story I’m writing.)ToolsAfter laviki fused his body into voxumo's armor voxumo was given laviki’s original toa tools a 3 inch thick protosteel shield and a sword that has a chamber on it to store a reserve of elemental energy a enough to last him a day. Toa voxumo wears a mask of possibilities
