This. Soooooo much. I really don't think we needed Stars of sets released the past year.MTL

Fun Commentary: Ah yes, this was my comeback chapter, after my great year long hiatus. In this chapter, I originally made the mistake of having Transraga be an Autotoabot. Which he is not. And he wasn't even supposed to be introduced yet. How embarrassing.TRANSONICLECHAPTER 12GOVERMENT CONSPIRACIES AND SUCHTA-METRU, METRU-NUIJaller couldn’t believe it had happened so fast. One second they were in his room, trying to jump out a window and slide to safety on a telephone wire, when all of a sudden his parents came through the door with a Vahki battering ram. After some rather... embarrassing conversation, Jaller’s parents were introduced to Hahli. Then a bunch of Onu and Po-Matoran came in and took them into a mysterious black SUV. At some point during this, the Autotoabots had disappeared.“What do you freaks want!!?” Jaller shouted at the Onu and Po-Matoran sitting in front of him and Hahli. His parents and Pewku had been taken into a different SUV.A Po-Matoran with a smooth mask turned around and smoothly said “Well, that took a while. I mean, we had to get them all into vehicles before they even started yelling at us!” The Onu-Matoran sitting beside him laughed at this and then put his iPod on.“Don’t ignore the question!” Jaller said. Hahli shook her head.“Son, I don’t ignore questions. I evade them.” The Po-Matoran said, putting sunglasses on. Keep in mind this is taking place at about 11 o’clock at night. And he already had sunglasses on.Jaller thought this was awesome, but Hahli decided she’d had enough of this. “Who are you guys?” Hahli asked.The smoothly, I mean the smooth masked Matoran cleared his throat and said “We’re special confront and recovery agents from Sector Six. You’ve been in cahoots with NEMOTERTS that we’ve been sent to apprehend. I am Agent 12345. You can call me 12345.” 12345, while telling them this, was turned around in his seat facing Jaller and Hahli. He was also the driver, take note of this.“What’s a nemotert?” Jaller asked.“It’s pronounced NEMOTERT, and I’m not obliged to answer that kiddo.” 12345 responded.“What’s Sector Six?” Jaller asked again.“I’m not obliged to answer that as well, kiddo.” 12345 responded again.“Is your name really 12345?” Jaller asked once more.“Now you’re just being stupid.” 12345 responded once more.Hahli, apparently having had enough of pointless arguments, decided to keep the plot moving. “Why did you take us? We were playing with Jaller’s Lego Bricks” Hahli started to say.Jaller interrupted. “Its pronounced Lego, with a capital L” he said.“Whose side are you on?” Hahli spat at him.“Look, you tell the story right, and I’ll cooperate. Say, why am I acting like Takua?” Jaller said.“Enough breaking the fourth wall!” Hahli exclaimed, really getting mad “Why did you take us? What does NEMOTERT stand for and where are we going?”“Unfortunately for you, I can’t answer that. Any of that for that matter, but I have some questions for you two.” 12345 responded.“Lay ‘em on me.” Jaller said with utmost confidence“Very well,” 12345 started, “we found your cellular phone, and you stated-"Jaller once more interrupted. “FALSE!”12345, confuzzled, continued with his questioning “And you stated that your car “transformed”. Is this statement true?”Jaller, worried, srateted, started to say a highly thought-out and intelligent response that would have 12345 and all the other agents crying for their mommies. “Er, um, er, aaa, LOOK! A purple Bigfoot!”Then he jumped out the car window.Hahli gasped. 12345 was shocked. The Onu-Matoran in the front was still listening to his iPod.However, instead of ‘ker-splatting on the road, Jaller landed in a pretty yellow Camaro.“POHATUBEE!” Jaller exclaimed with utmost happiness.12345 was shocked. Hahli cheered. The Onu-Matoran kept listening to his tunes. 12345 turned around to see if they were still on the road. Instead of another vehicle, he saw a giant, blue, red and silver leg in front of them.KERCRUNCH!!The car hit the leg, compressing the entire front of the vehicle. Then a pair of giant hands lifted the hood off the SUV and 12345 and Hahli looked up at the 36 foot giant.“I am Matanui Prime. Step out of the vehicle before I am forced to do something I’ll regret.”12345 and Hahli got out of the car. No idea on what happened to the One-Matoran. The other vehicles in the squad stopped behind them.“Pohatubee, Hydraxhide, Kopatchet, Lezz, Phoenix Prime, Galcee, Blue Flame, Wipeout, Tahkan Metra, Vakama Maximus, and Dakama Prime, rid the Matoran of their weapons!” Matanui Prime called out.And that’s just what the Autotoabots did. Lezz used some magnet thing. Wipeout grabbed the weapons out of their hands. Hydraxhide pointed his cannons at them, and the guns magically dropped out of the Matoran’s hands.Matanui Prime bent down and said to 12345 “You do not seem afraid. Are you not surprised to see us?”12345 said nothing. Wipeout went up and kicked the Matoran.NOTE: Wipeout is human sized, other wise, 12345 would have been pancake mix.12345, in pain, still said nothing, but he did press a button on his watch. Pohatubee then, er, decided to spring an oil leak all over 12345. 12345 gasped, but still didn’t talk.“Agent 12345, I’d like to introduce you to some friends of mine.” Jaller said to 12345.“You sort of missed the cue for that Jaller.” Wipeout said to Jaller.“Fine.” Jaller said, disappointed. Hahli patted Jaller on the back.12345 still did not talk. Phoenix Prime did however.“Matanui, they got back up!” Phoenix yelled. The other Autotoabots turned and prepared their weapons“Can we bust ‘em up?” Hydraxhide said, hoping for a chance to use his guns.“No! We must not harm the Matoran! Autotoabots, Transmoc and rollout! Phoenix, blind them for a minute!” commanded Matanui Prime. The Autotoabots promptly transmoced and drove off. Phoenix Prime raised his wings and a bright light shot forth. The Matoran back up stopped, unable to see anything.“Stupid Matanui Prime and his stupid rules about stu-” Hydraxhide was saying to himself when he was interrupted by Matanui Prime.“Hydraxhide!” Matanui snapped.“Yes sir…..” Hydraxhide said as he transmoced, clear disappointment in his voice.Matanui then noticed that no one had bothered to pick up Jaller and Hahli.“Matanui! My parents and our Ussal are in one of those vehicles! We got to save them!” Jaller told Matanui.Matanui Prime picked up Jaller and Hahli.“No time, we must get you out of here!” While they were being carried away by Matanui (who had put them on his shoulder) Hahli had a question.“Matanui, why didn’t you let us ride inside of you? We’d probably go quicker.” Hahli said.“Probably.” Matanui responded. The Sector Six helicopters had recovered from Phoenix’s blast, and were now following Matanui. Matanui dodged cars, ducked behind buildings and tried to evade them. This went on for five minutes until Matanui went under a bridged, pulled himself up to the bottom of it, and stayed still. Somehow, somehow, this worked. The helicopters passed by without seeing him. Somehow.Under the bridge, Matanui Prime watched the helicopters pass. He could see Pohatubee off to his side.“Don’t say a word!” He said to the mute Pohatubee, who didn’t look too happy with the statement. Sector Six vehicles zoomed by, looking for the Autotoabots.“Matanui! I found the glasses! They were in my pocket all along! We didn’t have to go to my house!” Jaller said to the Autotoabot leader.“WHAT!?!” Matanui Prime said, surprised, which the surprise of Matanui’s surprisement (along with a surprise movement) made Jaller and Hahli slip and fall. The two Matoran screamed as the fell. Luckily, Pohatubee was on the move. He managed to catch the Matoran before they went squish against the ground. However, a timely net toss by a nearby Sector Six agent had the Autotoabot caught and disabled. Jaller and Hahli fell out of the ’bee’s hands, tumbling away.Matanui Prime could only look away as the trio was carried away by helicopter, Jaller protesting violently as he and Hahli were handcuffed. Pohatubee, tangled in the net, was sprayed with some freezing stuff, and his movements began to slow.The other Autotoabots drove up on the top of the bridge. Lezz transmoced first.“Let me handle this.” He said.“But I’m second in Command.” Dakama Prime said.“If you think you can fit yourself over the side like I’m gonna do, go ahead.” Lezz said, going over the side to where Matanui was now on the ground. Dakama crossed his arms.“Don’t be such a tin head about it.” Tahkan told Dakama. Vakama Maximus thought this was hysterical.Lezz landed beside Matanui “We’re just gonna stand here and do nothin’ as they take our bros away?” Lezz said to Matanui.“We cannot harm the Matoran. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.”Matanui Prime said, not looking at Lezz.“So what’s that over there, that sure looks like a lack of freedom to me?” Lezz snapped.“We have the glasses, we can continue our mission. Pohatubee is a brave soldier. He would want us to find the AllShiny. If we can, we’ll rescue him later. Have hope.” Prime said, sadness in his voice.“We can’t lose any ‘bots. We can barely take on the Deceptikuta if they show up now.” Lezz said.“Jaller had the glasses here. Get Wipeout down here.” Matanui responded.“Oh, so you’re just gonna ignore me?” Lezz continued his snappiness. Sighing, he turned to the bridge. “Yo, Wipeout, get down here. We need you to find the glasses!”Wipeout transmoced into his little flying alt mode thing, flew down, transmoced again and stood. Matanui and Lezz towered over him.“Uh, what do they look like exactly?” Wipeout asked.“I imagine like a cup.” Lezz said.“There is glass in them, I know.” Matanui said.“Well...” Wipeout said, scanning the ground. After a minute of searching, he found them. “Are these them? They got Metrutronian lettering all over them.”“That’s them. Read what the inscription says.”Matanui said, kneeling down to get a better look.“It says... 179 miles away from here. South-west.”Wipeout said.Lezz did some quick calculations in his head. “That should bring us to Po-Metru.”Matanui looked in the direction the Sector Six vehicles were going in. “Then perhaps we’ll be able to rescue Pohatubee after all. Lezz, alert the others.” Matanui said. Lezz motioned for the others to come down. After a minute of crashing and such, they made it. Dakama actually did make it over the side like Lezz did, but broke off part of the bridge while doing it.“Autotoabots, we have our destination.”Matanui said.“You know where the AllShiny is?” Blue Flame asked.“Uh, guys, I hate to spoil everything, but that’s how I got here. I knew where it was the whole time.” Phoenix said.“Then why didn’t you tell us!” Tahkan said.“I did, but you ignored me. Said we had to meet up with Pohatubee first. Look how well that turned out.” Phoenix said.“I don’t believe it..” Vakama Maximus said.“So, Po-Metru, right?” Lezz asked Phoenix.“Yep. I assume we’re finally going to go there now?” Phoenix said.“Yes, and hopefully that is where they’re taking Pohatubee. Autotoabots,” Matanui said, turning to the direction they had to go in, “Transmoc, and ROLL OUT!”The Autotoabots drove (and flew) off, hoping that they would be in time to prevent the same destruction that happened to their home, Metrutron, from happening here.They also hoped that the Deceptikuta weren’t already aware of the AllShiny’s location. Little did they know, the Deceptikuta were being led there by Jaller and Hahli. Inadvertently of course, I mean if they had known that Frendox was in Hahli’s purse, well she would’ve thrown it out the helicopter.AAAANNNNNYYYYYYWWAAAYYYYYSSSS.END OF CHAPTER.MTL

I don't know who to use for Brains..... I was thinking of one of the Voya-Nui Matoran, but for the life of me I couldn't remember their names...MTL

Back to Back was my favourite. SO true...I liked the Boxor one as well. Makes the Onu-Matoran seem a bit demonic now....MTL

You drew that yourself? That's actually really good. I've never been too good at drawing my own scenery...MTL

You know, I remember watching the original 60's Spider-Man cartoon, and always seeing people screaming on it, but they'd pop up wiht their mouths open, make a screaming noise, and then another person would pop up and do the same thing...And of course, where did Spider-Man's web always go? Does it attach to clouds or something?The stories were always pretty cool though. When you were little and watched that, it was amazing.I think when you watch a show that has been on air for a while and switched over to HD, you sometimes find the original episodes painful to watch because the animation jsut used to suck. Like the original Simpsons or Family Guy episodes. They were funny, but it felt sometimes like I drew it myself...But current shows with bad animation? I don't know, I haven't seen enough lately to tell...MTL

Good chapter! For some reason I imagined Lhikan being voiced by Hugo Weaving....A staff that could change a comedy from script to prose? Now that could be interesting... I also always love making fun of Vakama's mopyness. He really did get pretty emo-ish (to an extent) in story.And I must say, awesome chapter!MTL

I'll follow the basic plot of the movie, but I'm stirring clear of the confusing plot and plot holes. You see, I thought Megatron went there because the AllSpark was there, and he was following that for the Fallen, but no, apparently he was going to meet Sentinal there, and due to the oddest coincidence in the history of everything (or cheap writing) they both ended up trapped pretty close to each other.Icarac as Norik's master? I'm sorry to say, but it actually is the most logical choice here. Makutatron just isn't... enough of a talker to have someone like Norik be his master. Icarac got Makutatron to be his apprentice, who was able to turn most of Metrutron's population to the Deceptikuta, but I'll do a little spoiling here: Someone had to get Icarax to Makutatron....Oh, and I'm sorry, but this chapter is about Jaller. I know you want Robots, but you need to learn you can't get everything :PWell, the actual reason is that I was going to do a flashback scene to Metrutron, but I actually forgot to think about what I was going to write, so I decided to leave the Metrutron chapter for tommorrow.And remember, as Shockvak (or Shockwave) would say: Logic is the only answer TRANSONICLE 3: THE ULTIMATE DOOMCHAPTER 6JALLER AND THE MEANING OF LIFEMETRU-NUIJaller’s walked out of Takua’s company, past the Onu-Matoran from earlier (who yelled a string of taunts at Jaller as he passed) and down the steps.Once more he had utterly failed a job interview. But he didn’t blame himself for this. It was Takua’s fault. For some reason Matoran in Metru-Nui suffered from a sheer lack of competence, common sense and actual thought.Jaller continued walking through the parking lot to where he had parked his car, grumbling to himself. He then realized that his car was gone. In the spot where he had parked it was a note. Jaller, speechless, walked over to it and picked it up. He read it. It said “THX 4 CAR, WILL SELL 4 MOVIE TIX”Jaller shook his head, threw the ticket to the ground, and continued to walk back home.“Really? Of all the luck...” Jaller was mumbling to himself as he walked down the street, contemplating life. After the battle of Voya-Nui three years ago, Jaller, Hahli and his parents (as well as Takua apparently) returned to Metru-Nui. Once getting back to Jaller’s house (which was still partly destroyed from when Pohatubee rescued them from deadly kitchen appliances) Jaller’s dad remembered something.“Oh yea, Jaller, I just remembered something. Your mother and I decided it was time you moved out of the house.” Jaller’s dad had said. Jaller wasn’t allowed back at the college, either. They said it was because “he had helped to destroy half of the campus and caused complaints to be made about the competence of the local Police Department”.Jaller, who could slightly understand the complaints, was annoyed that all his belongings had been either destroyed by the Deceptikuta Ga-Matoran thing that attacked him, or stolen by Takua’s friends, the shadow children, who are never to appear in this comedy again.So he decided to move in with Hahli.Surprisingly enough, Hahli had basically an entire building, partly hollowed out, as a home. Jaller had not known this. So they had lived there, along with Pohatubee, (and Wheeldax) happily, for almost three years until a month ago Blue Flame had showed up and told them Matanui needed them. “Don’t worry Jaller,” Blue Flame had told him, “I myself found this vehicle for you. I read that it’s a classic!”The vehicle in question was a rusted, tiny, 2 seated, half-an-engine death trap that could barely make it down the street without something important, like the breaks, getting broken.Jaller did not appreciate Blue Flame’s charity, but if you want to tell the giant robot “no”, then go ahead good sir.And then what followed were several failed job interviews, culminating with the latest embarrassment at the hands of Takua.Perhaps the worst part was, however, for Jaller was that he had received no recognition from the whole thing. He had gone to President Turaga Dume, but all he did was tell Jaller “to stay in school” and remember to re-vote him next election.Jaller continued on to home, afraid of what Hahli would say. It was barely lunch time and already Jaller wanted this day done and gone. No Matoran gave Jaller as much as a second thought as he walked by, head down.But something else did. Gave him much thought, I mean. From on top of a rooftop nearby, lying low, was Lasorhawk. Lasorhawk was another of Soundprah’s minions, a hawk-like menace, barely 6 feet long, but made up for its lack of size with its subterfuge abilities. “The Matoran appears to walking back to its nest.” Lasorhawk told Soundprah exactly what we already knew.“Keep an eye on him. Rumdox is dealing with our Ko-Matoran traitor. Soundprah out.” Soundprah responded.Jaller gave a little thought to the Deceptikuta fortress at the Tohu Memorial. He didn’t know why they hadn’t decided to kill everyone in Metru-Nui yet, and it was slightly terrifying to think that there was an entire army of high-tech giant killer robots right in the heart of the island. He didn’t know why the Autotoabots and PEST hadn’t gone in either to get rid of them, but Jaller had once got a good look at the fortress himself. The walls of it were 80 feet high at least (which Jaller realized wasn’t very high for Metrutronian walls, but he assumed they were makeshift), and with the deadly turret Deceptikuta perched all over the top of the walls, watching the skies for air strikes (which had proved very effective against Deceptikuta) as well as anyone stupid enough to get close. PEST soldiers and Vahki (which Jaller couldn’t help but feel they were the things least suited to this sort of thing) enforced a 600 foot perimeter around it all times.Jaller would’ve felt a lot safer if there hadn’t been any Deceptikuta there at all, but hey, you can’t have everything, no matter how practical it seemed.Continuing on, Jaller passed a Ko-Matoran police officer. Jaller paid him no heed, but he noticed Jaller.“Hey you!” he yelled.“Of course..” Jaller grumbled to himself, “Hello officer!” he said as he turned around to greet him.“I know you!” the Ko-Matoran said. Jaller noticed that he wore a Kaukau, a mask commonly worn by Ga-Matoran. Jaller would’ve laughed if he had been in a better mood.“Uh, okay..” Jaller responded.“Don’t you recognize me?” he asked Jaller.Jaller didn’t recognize him at all, but he thought he’d give it a try. “Icytoa1?” Jaller asked.“What? No!” The Ko-Matoran said.Jaller didn’t know the names of any other Ko-Matoran. “The guy who was bothering me at Mr. Awesome’s company?” he tried. He remembered the name Ehyre from somewhere, but couldn’t place it.“Uh, no. I’m the guy who interrogated you like five years ago in a police station!” he said.Jaller vaguely remembered that night, and nothing good about it. That night he had seen Pohatubee transmoc into his robot form for the first time (from a distance), and then, after having called the police because he thought his Camaro had been stolen, the police came and arrested him. The next day he had been attacked by that Cop-car robot. Earlier that week he had just bought that Camaro from Bobby Ahkmou’s Finest Trash, and then given Hahli a ride home in it. It had been an odd week.“Yea, sure I guess.” Jaller said, not really caring at all.“So, how have you been?” The Ko-Matoran asked him.Jaller was not in the mood for this. “Look, I’d love to stay and chat, but I’ve got stuff to do.” Jaller told him.The Ko-Matoran looked broken hearted. “Oh, okay then. Carry on then, citizen.” The Ko-Matoran turned away. Jaller continued on, and Lasorhawk followed from a distance.Jaller, surprisingly, was making better time walking home than when he had driven in his car to the interview. He didn’t think that it was very funny. He noticed a RV parked out front of his and Hahli’s home.“Oh great.” Jaller said. He just then remembered that his parents were coming to visit. “This’ll be just super.”INSIDE Jaller walked up the steps in the house. He hoped Hahli had cleaned up the house while he was out.What was he thinking? No she wouldn’t. Jaller was the one who always had to clean. She was too busy at her job or something.He then remembered Wheeldax. He hoped that little robot hadn’t gotten himself killed or something. That would be embarrassing. “And here he is!” Hahli said as Jaller turned a corner into the main room.“Jaller!” Jaller’s mom said as she ran up and hugged him.“Boy!” Jaller’s dad said, throwing him an uncooked chicken. “Eat this, it’ll make you strong.” Jaller didn’t catch the chicken and rolled down the stairs, exploding into bits and pieces. “Son, I am disappoint.” Jaller’s dad said.“Come, come, sit down, make yourself at home.” Jaller’s mom said, bringing him to the couch.“Mom, I live here.” Jaller said.“Did you get the job?” Hahli asked him, changing the subject.Jaller looked to the floor sheepishly. “Uh, no, but I can explain...” “JALLER!” Hahli yelled at him.“Son, again I am disappoint.” Jaller’s dad said. Jaller’s mom shook her head.“I can explain! You see, Takua was running it, but he called himself Mr. Awesome’s, and there was this weird Ko-Matoran and-“ Jaller started to say.“Jaller,” Hahli said, “are you trying to tell me Takua is running that company?” “Look, I know it sounds bad, but it’s true.” Jaller said. This was a terrible day.“I remember when you first met Takua..” Jaller’s mom reminisced. “Yea, he burnt down the mall.” Jaller’s dad said.“That was Takua? Why the little..” Hahli said, surprised.“You oaf! You couldn’t get the job! Now the mighty goddess will have her wrath upon you!” Wheeldax yelled, driving up in RC truck mode, transmocing and jumping onto the coffee table.“Wheeldax, go to your box.” Hahli commanded him.“As you command, your highness!” Wheeldax said, turning around and doing the opposite of what I wrote above.“Jaller, I know things have been tough for you,” Hahli began to say, “what with Pohatubee going off to work with PEST and all..” “That’s not all!” Jaller’s dad said, “They took Blue Flame too! He was the best car I ever owned! He never needed gas, he was stylish and he was fast! And he talked when I kicked him!” “Look, I’ll find another job...” Jaller started to say.“I’m sure! Next thing you know Hahli’s kicked you out, you’re lying in a pile of your own vomit and you can’t count the fingers on your hands!” Jaller’s dad, his face shaking with every word.“Dad, I’m not sure that’s even relevant.” Jaller said to his dad.“Of course it is! Everything I say is relevant, always!” His dad responded, getting carried away. Jaller’s mom put a hand on his shoulder.Then they heard someone stopping out front. In a car. Wheeldax came driving back.“It’s a Metrutronian! I bet its Makutatron himself! He’s gonna come in here and kill me himself! I knew he would! Or it’s Soundprah! I knew he’d be angry with me if I left! Ooooooh.” Wheeldax whined.“Wheeldax, box.” Hahli said.“As long as there ain’t no Deceptikuta in it, then I’ll be good. See you guys on the flip side!” Wheeldax said as he went back to his box.The four Matoran walked down the stairs and out the front door. There, parked by Jaller’s parent’s RV, was a 2009 concept Camaro and a Blue sports car.“Pohatubee!” Jaller said, running to the Camaro.“My car!” Jaller’s dad said, running to Blue Flame.“The end!” Wheeldax said, hiding behind the front door.“Wheeldax! I said box! I will not warn you again!” Hahli scolded. “Okay...” Wheeldax said as he tried to go up the first step.Before them, Pohatubee and Blue Flame transmoced into their robot modes. Pohatubee was yellow and black, 23 feet tall and had a Kakama Nuva look-a-like for a face. His doors became wing like things behind his arms. But they weren’t wings. But I’m sure you knew that.Blue Flame was 23 feet tall as well, and blue. He had very little spikes or protruding bits coming off of him, and his chest was the back of his car mode.“Jaller! Hahli! Parents of Jaller!” Pohatubee said.“I see Matanui Prime has need of my services.” Wheeldax said.“Wheeldax! House! Box! Now!” Hahli yelled. Wheeldax once more tried to go up the step.“Pohatubee! You can talk?” Jaller asked him.“Nujack fixed my vocal processor! He’s amazing! He made this cool slurpee machine thing also, but it broke.” Pohatubee said.“Didn’t your voice come back at the end of the Lego City battle?” Hahli asked Pohatubee.“It did, then Kopatchet tried to find out why it fixed itself, but then he accidentally broke it again afterwards.” Pohatubee explained.“Oh, I see. Why do you think it fixed itself in the first place?” Hahli asked.“The AllShiny must’ve done it! I had it near me for half an hour or so, so I guess that must have done the trick.” Pohatubee said.“Makes sense, makes sense.” Hahli said.“Why are you guys back, anyways? I mean, I don’t think Matanui would let you just visit for the sake of visiting.” Jaller asked.“He felt you guys were in danger. Or going to be at least. It’s been a while since you last were.” Blue Flame said.“I haven’t been in danger.” Jaller’s dad said.“Neither have I.” Jaller’s mom said.“I’m good.” Hahli said.“I’ve done a good job of protecting them!” Wheeldax said, driving up to them in RC truck mode.“Wheeldax!” Hahli snapped. Wheeldax, without even transmocing, turned around and drove back to the house.They all then turned and looked at Jaller.“What?” Jaller asked.“Well, you haven’t said anything, which leads one to presume that you have in fact seen, or have partaken in, some danger.” Blue Flame said.“Well, a Ko-Matoran at the job interview today said the Deceptikuta were acting up again. But it would have nothing to do with me. So I kind of thought I’d be fine or something....” Jaller said. Everyone looked at him in a rather condescending manner.“...but I guess you think I will be.” Jaller said.“I think so too. Which means Pohatubee and I will stay here and watch you for a while. I’ll send a message to Matanui, telling him about this.” Blue Flame said.“It’ll just be like old times Jaller! You runnin’ away screaming while I bust up Deceptikuta! Biff! Bam! Pow!” Pohatubee said, punching the air.“Well, I actually do feel a lot safer now...” Jaller said.“You felt safe with me around, didn’t ya?” Wheeldax said, standing near Jaller’s feet. Hahli grabbed him by the eye and dragged him back inside the house. Wheeldax sobered, trying to apologize to her. She didn’t listen.On top of a nearby building, Lasorhawk watched all of this, expert technology and such hearing every word.“Soundprah,” Lasorhawk said, “Autotoabots have come to protect the Matoran. Blue Flame and Pohatubee to be exact. The Matoran’s parental units are there as well.” “Well done Lasorhawk. Continue to monitor them. Do not make contact.” Soundprah said.“I also couldn’t help but notice that Wheeldax is there too. He is their.. pet. Or slave. One of the two. Maybe both.” Lasorhawk said.“Acknowledged. Barritax shall be sent to monitor as well.” Soundprah said.“Permission to... liberate Wheeldax?” Lasorhawk asked.“Permission granted. Soundprah out.” Soundprah said. Lasorhawk chuckled, then sat down and watched the house.END OF CHAPTERFun Commentary: Barritax? Yep, he'll be back. And not at all pleased to see Pohatubee.MTL

Excellent! Take your time Greg, actually raise your child instead of letting the TV do it, like my parents did :PAll jokes aside, what is it he does for a living now, anyways? I know he's a writer, but what does he write? Does he have his own little book series or what...MTL

I myself enjoyed the Transformers series, but thats because I watched them with the knowledge that it was going to be a mindless summer action film. And they did a good job of that. I mean, a movie about giant fighting robots directed by Michael Bay staring Shia LaBeouf? If you went into that expecting Lord of the Rings, then you my friend were sadly mistaken.Allthough, I will admit the plot for all of those movies was rather weak, and it basiacally was an excuse for 2 and a bit hours of robots fighting, explosions and slow-mo running scenes. But I enjoyed for that.Overrated: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. True Grit. Little Miss Sunshine. Watched those expecting amazing (considering the awards loved them) and didn't enjoy any of them. Benjamin was just... too convuluted. True Grit had a good story, but I couldn't understand a word Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin said. I was enjoying Mat Damon's character until they made him bite the end of his toungue off (I will admit though, that it was realistict there.) and I couldn't here anything he said for the rest of the film. And Little Miss Sunshine just sucked. Plain and simple. Ofcourse I highly doubt I was the target demographic there, but still...Underrated: All of Monty Python's stuff. I love Monty Python (the series, the films, and then John Cleese's Fawlty Towers) really do need to be remembered as just funny stuff. Instead of giving us Adam Sandler and Will Ferrel playing themselves every movie, why not just replay Life of Brian?My two cents people...MTL

Makutatron? Maybe, maybe not... Icarac? Maybe, maybe not. I tell you what however, it is one of those two... I was worried that part might not have been all that funny, but it was fun to write, and was really easy to do. Nihiscream's track record hasn't exactly favored him... I do too. Nihiscream is one of my favourite characters. In real life I am pretty cynical, and I channel that through Nihiscream. He's not as competent as he thinks he is, although he is much smarter than your average Deceptikuta. He also has a good ability to try to make the most out of every chance, although he's not exactly good about it...The next chapter might be a flashback, in which Norik Prime (and the war) would be explained more or less. Or maybe I'll go back to Jaller and Autotoabots and leave you all guessing :PFriday or Saturday will probably be the next chapter. Until then...MTL

That Medic the Medic from Team Fortress? If so, then I love this comedy.Ich liebe deutsch in komedys. Ich denke das ist comedy in Deutsch.... Es tut mir leid, mein deutsch ist nichts sehr gut...Which I do anyways, but I think you get the idea. Auf Wiedersehen!MTL

Commentary is at the end of this one today. Also, I tried a shorter chapter today, and wanted to see how it would be if I only focused on one group...TRANSONICLE 3: THE ULTIMATE DOOMCHAPTER 5THE IDES OF NIHISCREAM THE MOON Nihiscream sat nervously in his quarters aboard the Dinobot. Tapping his three-clawed foot against the floor, he stared at the computer screen aimlessly. All the cameras on the ship had been offline for about 32 minutes, long enough for his whole metaphorical world to fall apart. Makutatron was gone, so was Soundprah and Flufskiron was slowly winning over the loyalty of all the Deceptikuta on the moon. Only Nihiscream’s strikers remained loyal, and that was because half were programmed that way. Couldn’t they see that it he, Nihiscream, who had rightful control over the Deceptikuta? Apparently not. Nihiscream finally manned up the courage to go to Flufskiron’s summons. The nerve of him to summon mighty Nihiscream! Again! Nihiscream sent a message to Thunderstrike, Ramstrike and Skystrike to meet him at the bottom of the Dinobot’s boarding ramp. As Nihiscream walked there, he contemplated how he could work his way out of this. He had no clue. Perhaps if he killed Flufskiron... but no, that might look suspicious. Besides, someone had to fight the Autotoabots. He turned another corner, considering running away from it all. No, that would only cement his view as a coward before the Deceptikuta. Not to mention Makutatron would most certainly hunt him down eventually. And he had nowhere to go. Metrutron? No, that would be too obvious. Hide on the Matoran planet? No, when the Deceptikuta eventually take it over, they would find him. Nihiscream was still mulling these things over when he walked into Thunderstrike. “Agh! Watch you tinhead!” Nihiscream yelled at him. Thunderstrike took a step back from Nihiscream. “I apologize sir,” he said, “but I was just making sure you made it. Flufskiron wanted you to hurry up.” “Oh, did he now? So we listen to mighty Flufsk- wait a minute, how’d you know it was him we were going to see?” Nihiscream said. Thunderstrike tilted his head at this. “He informed me.” He said. “How interesting.” Nihiscream replied. “Let’s hurry up then.” They continued on in silence, meeting up with Skystrike and Ramstrike. They then transmoced and went towards Flufskiron, who once more was in the crashed Autotoabot ship. He spent a lot of time in there now. The four entered, and once more walked into the control room, the Autotoabot bodies still lying on the floor (along with the single Deceptikuta body). It added a certain.. ambience to the room. Norik Prime still sat in his chair, his sword and shield still propped up against, and the container containing the space bridge pillars still lying at his feet. Nihiscream and his three strikers walked in, and Flufskiron appeared. “Welcome again Nihiscream, I trust you had a pleasant trip?” Flufskiron asked him. “No.” Nihiscream replied. “Ah, very good. I’m terribly sorry about summoning you here again-“ Flufskiron started to say. “No you’re not. What are you scheming now, Flufskiron? I have a planet to conquer.” Nihiscream said, his patience having run dry. Flufskiron smiled. “Ah, well, I tried for an air of pleasantness. Very well. Scheming? No, I wouldn’t call it scheming...” Flufskiron said as Deceptikuta walked up behind Nihiscream and his strikers, aiming their weapons at them and surrounding them. “..... I’d call it my presidential campaign.” Flufskiron finished. “Traitor.” Ramstrike spat. Nihiscream thought that was terribly cliché. He also thought this was incredibly unnecessary. “Be quiet. I’d hardly call Lord Makutatron’s bravest warriors loyal.” Flufskiron responded. “What do you mean? I’ve never once ran away! I’ve fought Matanui Prime himself one on one!” Nihiscream said replied angrily. “You’ve been beaten by Matanui Prime when the odds were 6-on-1!” Flufskiron said, almost laughing. “That’s because Makutatron had me waste my talents trying to grab that infernal Matoran we didn’t even need!” Nihiscream responded. “Grindtaka and 1 of your Striker were killed and the rest of you were beaten have to death before you did anything to Prime! You didn’t catch the boy after that, and then your other 2 Strikers got killed, then you ran away!” Flufskiron said, enjoying this. “I did not! I was shot out of the sky, then Makutatron called for a retreat!” Nihiscream said. “Which I’m sure you led!” Flufskiron accused. “No! Makutatron did!” Nihiscream desperately tried to defend himself, but it wasn’t working. “And then there was the battle in the Matoran city, in which every other Deceptikuta died except for you. Why? Because you ran away!” Flufskiron said. The Deceptikuta who surrounded the Strikers laughed. “Sleedat survived too!” Nihiscream yelled. “That’s different.” Flufskiron said. “How?” Nihiscream asked. “She left because it was strategically impossible for her to win by herself at that point, as well as the AllShiny had just been destroyed with Makutatron. There was nothing left to fight for. You, on the other hand, had already left.” Said Flufskiron. “When the going gets tough, Nihiscream is already gone!” A Deceptikuta joked. The crowd laughed. Nihiscream clenched his fists. Nihiscream looked exasperated. “Makutatron was a fool! He led us to death for a hopeless cause!” Nihiscream said. There was an “oooohhhh” from the crowd. Flufskiron smiled. “So,” he said, “Our cause is hopeless?” “What!” Nihiscream said, “That’s not what I said!” “Is it now? May I also point out when Icarax had the Sun Eaterer and the Sun Matrix, ready to destroy the planet, Matanui by himself defeated you lot once more?” Flufskiron said. “He had other Autotoabots teleport in or something and surprise us!” Nihiscream said. “It was Icarax! You mean to tell me he was defeated by a surprise attack? The mighty Icarax, the original Deceptikuta, before there even were Deceptikuta?” Flufskiron said. The Deceptikuta captors nodded in agreement. “Yes!” Nihiscream protested. “And where were you?” Flufskiron asked. “I was shot down again!” Nihiscream said. “Again? Am I to believe that Nihiscream, leader of the Deceptikuta aerial forces, can’t fly to save his own chassis?” Flufskiron said. “Well, he’s here ain’t he?” A Deceptikuta said. There was laughing among them. Nihiscream looked angry. “I got it! He can’t fly to save his own superiors!” Another Deceptikuta said. There was more laughing. Ramstrike chuckled. “Heh, that was pretty good..” Skystrike elbowed Ramstrike as he said it. Ramstrike looked sad. “Hey, I killed an Autotoabot at that fight!” Nihiscream said, knowing all his efforts were in vain. “Really? I seem to have found out that said Autotoabot was barely even worthy of being called a scarp drone. And yet he prevented the Matoran and other Autotoabots to escape while he fought you, the mighty Nihiscream!” Flufskiron said. There was more laughing from the crowd. “And let’s not forget, immediately afterward, how when we had all finally arrived to this miserable planet, you take command of the Deceptikuta and tell us to pull back? Why is that? Where you to afraid to fight the little Matoran?” Flufskiron said, this one being the icing on the cake. “We needed to prepare, the Matoran and Autotoabots worked together..” Nihiscream tried to explain. He was telling the truth here, he didn’t want the Deceptikuta to once more be surprised by the Matoran and Autotoabot’s fighting ability. “And we’ve done no preparing! We have an entire army down there still, with Sleedat in command, and all the Autotoabots were on that island where Icarax died.” Flufskiron said. “They had Omega Kaita!” Nihiscream responded. “Who was half dead!” Flufskiron responded back. Nihiscream decided to strike back. “Didn’t you lead the attack on where the Autotoabots kept the AllShiny on Metrutron in the final days of the war? Tell me, how did it end?” Nihiscream never had found out how that battle ended. Flufskiron crossed his arms. He looked over to Swiftinock, who stood nearby. “Tell them, Swiftinock, how did we do in that battle?” he asked his second-in-command. There was scattered chuckling from the crowd. Nihiscream immediately realized how this was going to go. He began to think of a retort. “Complete Deceptikuta victory.” Swiftinock answered. The crowd laughed again. None of them cared for Nihiscream much, and even more hated him. They enjoyed his pain, either emotional or physical. “Yea, but what about the AllShiny? You didn’t get it..” Nihiscream said, knowing he was doomed already. “We all know how it goes!” A Deceptikuta yelled. “The Autotoabots launched it into space when Makutatron himself went for it. He followed it, and years later here we are.” Swiftinock said. Flufskiron nodded. “Please Nihiscream, you have no need to be stupid here. You and your remaining allies are surrounded, we’ve taken your ship-“ Flufskiron was saying. “My ship! You let your hounds inside the Dinobot!” Nihiscream yelled, his rage getting to boiling point. “The very same. So Nihiscream, if you will peacefully tell us what you’ve done with Soundprah..” Flufskiron said. “Soundprah? I’ve done nothing with the traitor!” Nihiscream yelled. “Have you now? Well then, I can’t say I have much use left for you.” Flufskiron said. He motioned to his warriors. “Kill them.” “After you.” Nihiscream, jumping at Flufskiron. He grappled the bulky Deceptikuta, and they fell back, floating back slowly in the moon’s low atmosphere. They rolled until they were in front of Norik’s body. “I’ll use the Prime’s sword to kill you! Consider it a finer end than you deserve!” Flufskiron yelled as he grabbed Norik’s double headed sword. Nihiscream grabbed the shield, which had one end on top of a wire. Nihiscream pulled the shield up and held it in front of him, just as a ZAP was heard. The two combatants, as well as every other Deceptikuta in the room, looked at the body. Somehow, somehow, in an act of incredibly cheap writing, the shield lying on the wire had prevented energy from flowing through it. With the shield removed, energy somehow stored in the wire flowed through it and into Norik Prime. First, the old Autotoabot’s eyes glowed. Then, in a burst almost too quick to imagine (but not too quick to write down) he was up, taking his sword and shield back from the surprised Flufskiron and Nihiscream, and spun his sword. “Stand back Deceptikuta, I’ll you all before you take these pillars!” Norik said, slicing off bits of Flufskiron and Nihiscream’s armour as they moved back. “Deceptikuta, subdue him!” Flufskiron commanded. 3 drones ran forward, weapons raised. One fired, while the other 2, with melee weapons, went in. Blocking a hit from the first Deceptikuta, then spinning and slicing off an arm, Norik moved to the second Deceptikuta, parrying the blow from it, then stabbing it in the chest. It fell to its knees, and Norik pulled his swords out, slicing the head and shoulder off of the first. He spun back around, using his shield to block the shot from the third Deceptikuta, then moving forward and slicing upwards, then stabbing down, and the third Deceptikuta fell. The remaining however, all aimed their weapons at him. “Come at me villains! One at a time or all at once, I don’t care!” Norik said. “Well Nihiscream, should I kill you first or should we deal with him?” Flufskiron said. “I’m intrigued with him. Let’s kill him first and go from there.” Nihiscream replied. “Very well.” Flufskiron responded. They turned to face Norik, who still stood there. “Well old bot, won’t you beg for your life?” Skystrike taunted. “Come here and we’ll see who begs what.” Norik responded, spinning his double headed blade. “How about you tell us how to us those space bridge pillars first, and we decide what then.” Flufskiron said to Norik. “Hah! Deceptikuta, tell me, where is Makutatron, I would like to see him here. Did he get the AllShiny yet? Or has he been too busying killing his own drones?” Norik said. Flufskiron stood up straight. “The AllShiny is destroyed, Makutatron is probably dead, and so is Icarax. The Deceptikuta are now a fully functioning army, without useless figures to lead us to defeat.” Flufskiron said. Nihiscream actually agreed with Flufskiron’s views on Icarax and Makutatron, but now wasn’t the time for that. He also thought it was almost funny that Flufskiron didn’t know Makutatron was still alive. Norik, meanwhile, looked shaken at this. “The AllShiny... Icarax? No...” Norik said, dropping to his knees. “I’m sorry master... I failed you..” And now Nihiscream and Flufskiron were frightfully confused. END OF CHAPTER. Fun Commentary: Shocking, huh? So Norik Prime has a secret master, and by chance could it have been Icarax? Maybe.... Also, remember that Nihiscream, Skystrike and Thunderstrike are the only ones on the moon who know that Makutatron is alive..MTL

Skyrim baby! Oblivion was awesome, and Skyrim will be too. I mean, even if it doesn't make GOTY #1, we know it'll be up there. Bethesda has just put so much work into the Elder Scroll series thats it's hard not to love them. I for one know that I will buy Skyrim as soon as I can, and it will probably be the only game I play for a while. I mean, I actually finished all avaliable quests in the Normal Oblivion, and done most of Shivering Isles and all of Knights of the Nine, and there's still LOADS left that I can do in the game. It's just beautiful. (I got it at the beginning of this year and play pretty often incase you're wondering)However, Portal 2 and Minecraft get my vote aswell. Awesome games, just not my favourite cup of tea. More like really sweet treats I only have once in a while..MTL

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. Not bad, best fight scenes in the series I think. But the first one was still the best. Watching Lord of the Rings on the weekend though. Again Those are the some of the best movies ever. Along with Indiana Jones. And pirates of the Caribbean. MTL

Fun Commentary: This was the last chapter before my great, year long hiatus. I'm still sorry about that. Also, Hahli, is in fact, playing with a Hahli Mahri when they get to Jaller's room. Paradox? Coincidence? You decide. TRANSONICLECHAPTER 12AND SO IT CONTINUES THE VERY LARGE ALLEY WAY, TA-METRU, METRU-NUI"Opps, my bad." said Dakama Prime, crushing a dumpster as they Autotoabots walked out of the alley.A very large problem concerning the Autotoabots was that they were very large. Moving a dozen or so very large robots takes considerable skill. In which case they did not. Jaller led the way out of the alley, and a Police car drove by. In this police car was the Ko-Matoran who had interrogated Jaller several chapters ago. Upon seeing Jaller, he assumed Jaller was up to no good. So he turned his car, got out and held his pistol up at Jaller. And Hydraxhide promptly shot at him. The police car was blown to pieces, and the Ko-Matoran ran for his life. Hydraxhide would certainly have killed the Matoran if Jaller hadn’t yelled his head off for Hydraxhide to stop. Once they were all out of the alley (and Hydraxhide firmly reprimanded), the light around the corner went green, and 50 cars turned the corner. Where the Autotoabots stood. Screaming, backing up, calling the police and generally going insane, the Autotoabots took the confusion as an excuse to escape. “Autotoabots, split up and head for Jaller’s home establishment. We will meet up there and continue with our operation. Transmoc and roll out!” Matanui yelled, transmocing into his flame deco-ed truck mode and opening his doors, letting Jaller and Hahli in. Pohatubee, Galcee, Lezz and Kopatchet drove up behind them. Hydraxhide (with Wipeout inside of him), Vakama Maximus, Blue Flame and Dakama Prime took another way, while Tahkan Metra and Phoenix Prime flew above, keeping an eye out for potential dangers.Lower down the street, a Harley Davidson “Fat Boy” had watched all of this. Surprised at this parade of robots, he sent a message to others of his kind, warning them of impending trouble... INSIDE MATANUI PRIMEJaller and Hahli sat (a little awkwardly) in their seats, looking out the windows. Finally, Hahli made up the courage to speak. “So, uh, you can turn into cars huh? That’s cool.” Hahli said. “Our race has the ability to turn into anything mechanical we chose, as long as it has the appropriate mass equal for us to convert into.” Matanui answered. “Ah. Of course.” Hahli responded. This time Jaller wanted to ask a question. “Where did you guys come from again?” he asked. “Metrutron. It’s out of this solar system. It’s much smaller than this planet, however it is higher density. We had no knowledge of any other life forms on it other than ourselves, and we had turned it entirely into sprawling cities. Our history says that the first of our race was created millions of years ago, by the AllShiny. The very first of us was Metrutron Prime, and they named the planet after him. They travelled the universe, using the power of dying stars to help power the AllShiny and our planet. Then one day Metrutron Prime was betrayed, and lost to us. Our race continued however, and prospered, learning to rely less on the AllShiny, which stored its power for years. For approximately 9000 of your Matoran years, my brother Makutatron and I ruled our planet. Until Makutatron betrayed us all.” Matanui said. “Makuta-what?” Jaller asked. “Makutatron. Upon reflecting, I realize now that I meant “brother” in a non-literal way. Our species regards such things differently than you. Makutatron was always rash and head strong, but he began to change at one point, creating Drones and other machines of war. Then he attacked, surprising us. In resistance we fought back, until failed hope after failed hope, we took the most desperate choice and launched the AllShiny into space. Makutatron followed it, and we left Metrutron, our once glorious planet but a memory now, made nigh unliveable by storms and decay. Without the AllShiny, it lost the energy to power our cities, and they fell, weakened by war. We are a spread out race now, left in groups strewn across the galaxy.” “I appreciate the info, but the explanation was a bit... long winded.” Hahli said. Jaller agreed, but did not wish to annoy the giant robot they were sitting inside of. “I understand. We Primes have a specialty for long speeches. You may ask simpler questions now.” Matanui said."How do you know how to speak Matoran?" Hahli blurted out."Your planet’s world wide fikou web." Matanui replied. “You mean the internet?” Jaller asked. “I believe so.” Matanui said. Jaller wanted another question. “How do you know where I live?” “Again, the word wid-er, the internet.” Matanui said, learning quickly. “Awesome.” Jaller said. “Where’d you learn to drive?” Hahli asked, noticing that Matanui drove better than most Matoran. “Common sense, natural instinct and once more, the internet.” Matanui answered. “You drive better than Jaller.” Hahli told him. “Ya-HEY!” Jaller said. “Thank you.” Matanui said. There was another awkward silence after that. “So, uh, what’s a Decepticon?” Hahli asked. “Deceptikuta. Makutatron’s followers. Many are weak and not very capable, but there is a percent that even all of us Autotoabots together can barely defeat. They thrive on war, death and destruction.” Said Matanui. “Oh, how nice.” Jaller said, wondering if the cop-car Deceptikuta who attacked him had been a competent one or not. “Uh, how did you know I had the glass- er, artifacts.” Jaller asked.“Your bBay account.” Matanui said, accidentally running a red light. “That’s what the Deceptikuta who attacked me said.” Jaller said. Hahli nodded, even though she hadn’t even been there until after that particular segment of story."If they found out about your bBay account, then we may already be too late.” Matanui warned. “Oh, this just keeps getting better and better.” Jaller said. “No it is not.” Matanui said. “What?” Jaller said, confused. “Nothing about this situation is improving.” Said Matanui. Jaller understood why the Autotoabot leader got confused. “Ah, no, it was sarcasm.” “Oh.” Said Matanui. Once more, there was an awkward silence. “Soo... what’s Hydraxhide’s problem?” Hahli asked. “Look, maybe you want to ask something that is easier to answ- ah look, we’re here.” Matanui said. And so they were. They had pulled up into the back way onto Jaller’s property. Matanui drove into the yard, transmoced and turned to Galcee, Pohatubee, Lezz and Kopatchet. He radioed Tahkan Metra. “Tahkan, any word from Dakama’s group?” he asked Tahkan. “Nothing. The Matoran police have sent them off course.” Tahkan responded. “I assume Dakama is making sure they’re not engaging?” Matanui asked him. “I’m assuming that as well. Normally, Hydraxhide would’ve just-“ Tahkan started to say. “I am well aware of what Hydraxhide would do. Keep an optic out for him. Matanui out.” Matanui said. He turned back to the other Autotoabots. “We will stay here and keep watch. Chances are the Deceptikuta are very much aware that we are already here.” “Matanui,” Lezz asked, “how is it we’re standin’ here in robot mode and no Matoran are runnin’ ‘round screamin’ at us?” Kopatchet answered. “I believe that radio contact revealed that there was some sports activity on tonight.” “Kickin’.” Lezz said. DOWN THE STREET Matanui, as it turns out, was correct. The Harley Davidson “Fat boy” rested against a tree down the street, its main headlight extended and turned into a camera thing. “Are you getting this Nihiscream?” it radioed. “Good work Enderth. I was not expecting Matanui himself here. With his entire army too, I suppose. How many are there? Have you found out?” Nihiscream, Deceptikuta second-in-command, radioed back to Enderth. “Twelve or more. They moved so fast I could not count!” Enderth replied.“Quite. Is this the Matoran who holds the artifact’s home?” Nihiscream asked. “I’d bet on it. Say, did you see that cute little Autotoabot there? She’s a two-wheeled vehicle as well!”"ENDERTH YOU COOL DUDE!"" I mean- wait, why did you just call me a cool dude? Is it because you love me? 'Cuz I love you too bro! Air hug!""It’s because of this Matoran radio programming. I meant to insult you. Lets continue this in Metrutronian, s811212 w5?" Nihiscream replied bitterly."I like this planets radio programming better actually. You can't insult me with it.'' “Oh really?” Nihiscream said.BOINK!"What was that Nihiscream?""Some Matoran came and hit me with a rubber weapon. It has taken a great amount of concentration to not exterminate it on the spot.""Then why were you standing there in your robot form? You tell us not to change forms uselessly and yet you do it!”"No! I was in my vehicle mode you cool dude!""Aw. You care me! I care for you as well my brother!” Enderth replied happily.Nihiscream then terminated the link.“Well then, I guess you’re not really my brother after all.” Enderth said. And so it was that the subject was never mentioned again.SOMEHWERE IN HYRULE"Take this Ganon!" Link yelled as he swung the master sword at the fiend. "Hah, foolish little, er, fool! You cannot defeat me! I am Ganon! Muhahahaha! Now quaver in fear as I destroy you!" the evil guy yelled preparing to destroy Link when a missile from nowhere came and hit Link. "NOOOOOO!" Link yelled as he disappeared into oblivion.Game Over.5762 points.You Have Failed Miserably.Hahahahahaha JALLER’S HOUSE "Prime! The police!" Lezz yelled.Matanui looked in the direction the police were coming. “I see.” He said. Then, picking up Jaller and Hahli, he placed them inside an open window to the house. They crawled off his hand.Jaller turned around to Hahli and said "So, this is, um, my room and, um, my dad, sticks his LEGO Bricks in here. Yeah.." Truth be told, it was actually all Jaller's LEGO, and it was all over his room. In the corner of the room there was a stack of letters all titled To Greg Farshety. On his bed was a pile of Lego magazines from back when his dad was a wee Tohunga. There was a massive army of BIOINICLE figures near his door and he had a chair made out of Lego. There was Star Wars Ships hanging in mid battle on his ceiling, some as old as the original Millennium Falcon, which was there as well. It was all impressive enough, except it was all in the way of the search for the artifacts that would determine the fate of his world. But Hahli was actually playing with one blue Toa that had wings and a three bladed weapon on one hand and a Cordak blaster on the other."This one is cool. But I think you need to get rid of this Cordak blaster. And maybe give him blue joints instead of green-""Um, it’s a girl." Jaller said, not actually knowing what was going on."Oh, then I have alot of work to do on this.""I can show you were my parts box is!" Jaller said happily, feeling quite good with himself that she would help him make that set look feminine, as the set’s past incarnation had a moustache, and as we know that’s not too girly.."Hurry up in there! You don’t want me to have to come in there!” Matanui told them through the window. They then heard Lezz’s voice. “Prime!” he said, “Tahkan just found Dakama and Co., with their own set of police followin’ them, comin’ dis way! We’re gonna have too many for us to escape cleanly soon!”"Great! All the more reason for you two to hurry up!" Matanui Prime told the Matoran as he turned away.Jaller and Hahli got up and started to look. About a minute later Jaller, with horror, said "It’s not here.""What!" Hahli said, horribly surprised, her face turning white behind her mask."See! It was in my backpack which I’m sure I put in here today-" Then Hahli hit him. He got up asked why she did that and she pointed at the window. Jaller looked and saw that the yard was smashed up; the Autotoabots had transmoced and parked right in the middle of it. There also were police and Vahki coming down the road.'Oh, what the-" Jaller was about to yell something profound when he heard his dad at the door."Jaller, what did I tell you about language! And how did you get in the house?"Jaller turned to Hahli. This didn't look to good.END OF CHAPTER MTL

I never imagined Hydraxon being such a clutz, which might be bad for a jailoer With Pridak, that must be a different kind of fat. A contest sounds interesting. Depends on what it's about... MTL

Hey, if you want to stab the giant drilling machine with your dagger of axe, go ahead! Lol, but I do believe the Wreckinators were being the smartest when they drove around it. Hydraxhide and Matanui, I'm not sure why I had them go up and hit, but it sure looked pretty in my head.. Well, longer chapters means, well, exactly what you've seen here. Shorter chapters would probably only contain two parts (i.e. First part about Jaller, second about, say, the Autotoabots, Shockvak, Makutatron, Nihiscream, etc.), but I would update more frequently. Also, shorter would be about 2500 words per chapter, instead of 3000-5000..... Next chapter will be Wednesday or Thursday.. MTL

You know, I really enjoyed that, but there's one part bugging me: how does a horse sit in a chair, if I may ask? I never really thought I could enjoy a story about ponies so much... MTL

Fun commentary goes at the end today... TRANSONICLE 3: THE ULTIMATE DOOMCHAPTER 4THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS PLOT HOLES METRU-NUI, NEAR THE COLISEUM “Well Mr. Ithinkimbald, what makes you think you’re qualified for this position?” Takua asked. “Takua? How’d you get a job as the owner of this company? How’d you even get over here? I thought we left you Voya-Nui?” Jaller said. “Please Mr. Ithinkimbald, we’re in a professional work zone. Refer to me by my name, Mr. Awesome’s, M.D.” Takua replied. “M.D? How? You didn’t even finish college!” Jaller argued. “Yes I did!” Takua said. “No you didn’t! We got attacked by that Deceptikuta girl 30 minutes into the first day! And then you got left on Voya-Nui!” Jaller said. “You have no proof! I am perfectly qualified for this job! This company! You are nothing! NOTHING!” Takua yelled. “Fine, what is the job then?” Jaller asked. Takua did not answer. “Ahah, that’s what I thought.” Jaller said. “Uh, you don’t know either I bet!” Takua said. “Yes I do!” Jaller said. “What is it then?” Takua asked. “Uh, it’s a company... that works in... stuff... and gets paid for it...” Jaller said, drawing a blank. “Well, while that is a very apt description of what we do, I still do not think you’re ready for this kind of work.” Takua said. “TAKUA! Why must you keep doing all this!” Jaller said angrily. “I will not respond unless you call me by my proper name.” Replied Takua. “Fine. Mr. Awesome’s, M.D, I’m sorry. Please, what can I do to get the job?” Jaller said, being quite fed up with this already. “Do a dance.” Takua said. Jaller walked out of the office. “Mr. Ithinkimbald, where are you going? We’re not done yet, you hear me? Ithinkimbald! You’ll never work on this island again, you hear me? NEVER!” Takua yelled after him. Jaller ignored him. Strange Matoran once more gave Jaller strange looks as he walked to the elevator. Just before Jaller got there, however, the creepy Ko-Matoran grabbed Jaller and brought him into a cubicle, slamming him into a chair. “I know what you did last summer!” he hissed into Jaller’s mask. “What?” Jaller said back. “Oh, I meant I know what you did last summer 3 years ago!” he hissed again. “Uh...” Jaller said. “Oh, I guess it would’ve been fall.. well, I know what you did last fall 3 years ago!” he hissed once more. “Who are you?” Jaller asked, looking for something to hit the Ko-Matoran with. “I’m your worst nightmare!” He whispered loudly. “What’s wrong with you?” Jaller asked him again. “Don’t act stupid! The pyramids in Voya-Nui, the robots, the explosions, the plot holes, you know what I’m talking about!” the Ko-Matoran got really close to Jaller’s face when he said this. “I’ll call the cops..” Jaller said. “You know they won’t do anything! The Vahki barely do anything! The police appear once in a while to make things difficult for you! It’s just me, you and your robot friends.” The Ko-Matoran said. “Well...” Jaller started to say. “Ha! So you’re not nearly as stupid as you look!” the Ko-Matoran said. “Really...” Jaller said, wishing it was Hahli getting mad at him instead of annoying Ko-Matoran here. “They’re plotting again...” the Ko-Matoran started whispering again, looking over his shoulder. A camera was stuck behind a wall mounted television. “What’s with the TV?” Jaller asked. “Oh, that? It just got put up. The camera was making people uncomfortable, so Mr. Awesome’s had a TV put up to increase productivity.” The Ko-Matoran explained. “Well, that would be like him...” Jaller said. “Anyways, you have the key to stop them!” The Ko-Matoran said. “I do?” Jaller said, surprised. “No, not really. This time they have nothing to do with you. But watch out! They’ll be watching, waiting..” The Ko-Matoran said, letting go of Jaller and slowly walking back, disappearing behind another cubicle. “There must be something weird in the water or something..” Jaller said to himself, getting up, taking one last look at the TV, then walking out. BEHIND THE TV The camera tried to watch the yellow-masked Ta-Matoran, but couldn’t turn because of the TV. So Rumdox transmoced quietly, went through the hole in the wall beside him, and scuttled away swiftly on his 4 tiny legs. “Master, the Matoran is on to us, oh no.. it was our Ko-Matoran who told him, oh yessss. He knows too much, can’t be trusted, oh nooo, so we must get rid of him, yesss we must.” Rumdox said to a tiny computer he had built inside the air duct. “Affirmative Rumdox. Lasorhawk will pursue him. Deal with the Ko-Matoran as you please. We will be arriving shortly.” Soundprah said on the other end of the line. “Yess master.” Rumdox said, turning back to the entrance of the air duct. The Ko-Matoran had walked into another cubicle, sat down in his spinny chair, and stayed there. “I’ll deal with him, oh yess I willll....” Rumdox said to himself, chuckling softly. NEAR THE TOHU MEMORIAL Tahkan Metra stood on a building, watching the Tohu Memorial park. The Deceptikuta had put up large black walls made of some Metrutronian metal, and had placed turret-combiners all along it, watching the skies for any one foolish enough to fly over. Luckily, Tahkan Metra was not foolish enough to fly over. Tahkan was not overly fond of the Matoran, but he could not bring himself to let the Deceptikuta kill them. Although, with the absolute failure of the Matoran military to actually do anything about the Deceptikuta army inside those walls, he couldn’t understand why Matanui seemed to love them so much. Nothing was happening, so Tahkan sat down, and contemplated life. Then a large black stealth bomber flew by, transmoced, and landed beside him. Before the being could say anything, Tahkan’s rifle and heavy machine gun was against its head. “Move, and it’ll be the last thing you do.” Tahkan said. “Uh, ok. But Matanui said that-“ the being started to say. “Oh, you’re the new recruit. Ramembolt, was it?” Tahkan asked, lowering his weapons. “Yes it was. Matanui said-“ Ramembolt started to say. “Matanui said you would need work before you were ready for battle. And I can see that.” Tahkan said. “Yes, well, Matanui said-“ Ramembolt once more started to say. “Do you even have any weapons?” Tahkan asked him. “I have this cannon thing and some bombs, but Matanui said-“ Ramembolt, well, you get the idea. “That’s all? And you have the know-how of a protoform to go along with it. What can you do aside from that? Can you fight? Have you ever fought?” Tahkan said. “MATANUI WANTS ME TO DO RECON IN THE DECEPTIKUTA BASE!” Ramembolt yelled. Tahkan laughed. “He what? You could barely sneak up on me while I was resting, how will you get in there,” Tahkan said, pointing to the base, “Without being turned into scrap?” “I can turn invisible.” Ramembolt said. “You what?” Tahkan said, unbelieving. Then, before his eyes, Ramembolt turned invisible. “And then I go in, see what they’re doing, and go back out, report, and stay on watch with you. I could also bomb them up a little bit as well if we so choose.” Ramembolt said. “Oh. Was that what Matanui said?” Tahkan asked. “Yes.” The still invisible Ramembolt responded. “Did it not occur to you that the Deceptikuta might have radar or something?” Tahkan said. “My invisibility and such lets me avoid radar.” Ramembolt said. “Ah, of course it does. Well, you seem to actually have all the bases covered, so...” Tahkan started to say, then looked up, “What if I create a diversion, just in case?” “Then I guess that would be most appreciated.” Ramembolt said. “Excellent! Finally I get to do something!” Tahkan said. The two turned to transmoc, but stopped. A Deceptikuta ship was lowering itself into the base. “Well, that’s not good...” Tahkan said. Ramembolt turned visible. THE TOHU MEMORIAL Sleedat and a retinue of Deceptikuta approached the ship. It was a small one, barely large enough to hold 20 Deceptikuta. “Panrashot, report.” Sleedat said, motioning to the large, brown, tank Deceptikuta with a turret on one arm beside her. “I do believe it’s them alright.” Panrashot said. “NOT THE SHIP! OFCOURSE IT’S THEM!” Sleedat yelled, “IF I WANTED THE OBVIOUS, I WOULD’VE ASKED ENDERTH AND DAEDULUS!” Behind them, Enderth and Daedulus cowered. “What do you want reported, then?” Panrashot asked, not quite sure to be scared or what. “On anything! Were they followed? Are Autotoabots watching? Is it going to rain? Anything! Am I the only one competent enough to do anything?” Sleedat said. In the 3 years on this planet she had spent in charge of these Deceptikuta, she had grown more than a little annoyed at the sheer incompetence of them all. “Viewdok, how about you report!” Sleedat commanded the slim Deceptikuta nearby. Viewdok stood straight as he spoke. “There is nothing to report Commander!” he said. “There! At least someone is smart enough to at least give me an answer!” Sleedat said angrily. She walked forward, where the boarding ramp on the ship had lowered. “Soundprah, I trust you had a pleasant trip?” Sleedat asked the spiky Deceptikuta walking out of the ship. Sleedat tried for her best kind voice, and almost failed. “I detect anger in your voice.” Soundprah said, stopping at the base of the ramp. Sleedat’s smile broke. “Well thank you captain obvious!” she said angrily. “The ship’s name is not Obvious.” Soundprah responded, his monotonous voice as monotonous as usual. Sleedat ignored that. “Well, where is he? Where is our lord?” she said, feigning interest. She could care less about him or his cargo. “He requires assistance to descend. He has been heavily damaged and since neglected.” Soundprah said. “Enderth, Daedulus, go get him.” Sleedat said, motioning for the two Deceptikuta to go do it. Daedulus and Enderth nervously ran up the board ramp. Sleedat instantly realized she had sent only a medium sized Deceptikuta and smaller, much weaker Deceptikuta to go carry a very large load. “Ah, well.” Sleedat though to herself. Minutes later, Daedulus and Enderth, struggled mightily to carry Makutatron, once mighty leader of the Deceptikuta, down the ramp. Enderth gave out first, his spindly limbs sprawling out beneath him as he fell, Makutatron rolling down the ramp. Sleedat struggled not to laugh. The assembled Deceptikuta watched in horror. Soundprah watched emotionlessly. Daedulus tried to hold on to Makutatron’s arm. His only remaining arm, Sleedat realized. His right arm ended at the elbow, its stub violently cut or broken off. Probably happened when Matanui Prime wiped the floor with him, Nihiscream and Icarax. Sleedat thought that was also hilarious. In the time it took Sleedat to think this, Daedulus lost his grip, and he followed Makutatron down the ramp, landing on top of the Deceptikuta leader when they hit the bottom. Enderth struggled to his feet above. Makutatron, using his remaining arm, grabbed Daedulus and threw him off. Daedulus got up and ran behind Panrashot, who nearly almost killed Daedulus right there. Now Sleedat got a good chance to look at Makutatron. Aside from missing one arm, the treads on his right foot were broken and missing, he was missing pieces of armour on his chest, and part of his face was missing. No, more than that, part of his head. The entire top right part of his head was gone, as well as most of the lower right part, although his right eye was still there, barely. Most of the right side of his mouth was gone too, the blue liquid that flowed through all Metrutronians flowing out of it. Oddly enough, most of his left side was OK. “Lord Makutatron,” Sleedat said, bowing, “Welcome to the Deceptikuta headquarters on this backwater planet!” “Why haf you not conquered it alwady?” Makutatron struggled to say. It sounded pretty good, considering part of his mouth was gone. “Nihiscream ordered us not too. He said the order came from you.” Sleedat explained. Enderth quietly slipped off the ramp and walked away. Makutatron coughed. Or spat. It was a weird sound. “Do NOT mentwhun that trawaiters name! The fact you wistened to hiccmm is enough inwult to make me want to kell all of you!” Makutatron said. Most of the Deceptikuta now were trying hard to not to laugh. A snicker here and there could be heard. Panrashot still stood brave in front of his beloved leader, and as always Soundprah was emotionless. “Tell may, is Mataooeh still alife?” Makutatron said, trying to struggle to his feet, but failing. “He is.” Sleedat said, her leader’s predicament was hysterical. Makutatron, to say the least, was not pleased to hear this. “ARRRRRRGGHHHHHGHHGGHGHGH!” he yelled. This time the sound was considerably less funny, and the snickers stopped. “Sleeedat, repawr may, so I may kell him mayselv.” Makutatron said. Sleedat was about open the compartment in her arm that released the small repair robot, when Makutatron, in those 3 seconds, grew too impatient, grabbed the nearest Deceptikuta, ripped its arm off, and attached it to himself. Somehow, it stayed in place. This arm was black, with large fingers compared to Makutatron’s gray arm and spindly three fingered hand. “Hoorah up Sleedat, I graw teeered.” Makutatron said. Suddenly, a small voice spoke up. “Lord Makutatron!” Dr. Transraga said, “Let me be ze vun to repair your face! It vould be zuch an honour! I can make it better zhan before!” Sleedat had no idea where the small Deceptikuta came from. Makutatron was about to laugh, but all that happened was a ball of blue liquid came out of his mouth. “Go awead doctor, but if I do nawt like what you are doing..” Makutatron said. The small doctor quickly crawled up Makutatron’s arm and into his head cavity. “Ov course zir!” The Dr. Transraga said. Sleedat stepped forward. “The repair-bots sir?” she asked. “Yesss, now.” Makutatron said. Millions of tiny robots came out of the compartment on her arm, went to Makutatron, and began repairing parts of him, except for his face. “Go avay! I vill repair ze mighty Makutatron’s face myself!” Dr. Transraga said. The repair bots had already started on Makutatron’s mouth when Transraga scared them off. “Haagccchh, much better.” Makutatron said, rising to his feet. The Deceptikuta who Makutatron took the arm from bowed, and then Makutatron grabbed him by the head and ripped it off. “Now, I take my revenge! Where are the Autotoabots?” Makutatron yelled. Soundprah spoke up “Intel reports suggest they have gone to another part of the island to battle Shockvak.” “Hmm, Shockvak may have use still. What about Dreadinock? He survived our defeat, I was sure.” Makutatron said. “He is still on the island where we were defeated.” Sleedat said. “Ahh, and Nihiscream is still on the moon. Do we know what he is doing there?” Makutatron asked. “He and Flufskiron were trying to revive Norik Prime in order to gain access to the spacebridge pillars.” Soundprah said. “The spacebridge pillars? He has them? Why do you not take them Soundprah?” Makutatron yelled at Soundprah. “Norik is the only one who knows how to use them. He is currently offline as well.” Soundprah said. Makutatron brought a fist up and closed it. “And we know just how permanent that is, don’t we?” Makutatron said, “Now, where is my throne?” Meanwhile, Tahkan Metra and Ramembolt frantically went back to PEST headquarters. KO-METRU One of Omega Kaita’s components flew through the snow storm, looking for a place to land. Components you ask? Well, Omega Kaita, since he was so huge, was made of 7 very flying troop transport things, which Kopatchet had modified to fit all the other Autotoabots. In alt mode at least. So you could say, Omega’s alt mode was 7 troop transport things. But I think you figure that much out. Each transport, which we shall call FTTTs, (flying troop transport things), was 80 feet longs, 30 feet wide, 13 feet high, heavily armoured and covered in guns, missile launchers and all sorts of weaponry. 2 of the FTTT’s formed his torso, 2 his arms, 2 his legs, and the remainder was armour and extra weapons. Thing is, all of them could do this, in case one was blown down. They were heavily improved after Voya-Nui. You can see that Kopatchet had been busy. Inside it was Matanui Prime (without a trailer), Hydraxhide, the Wreckinators and Jodkra. Several Matoran, including Hewkii, were there as well. “Oh, this is going to be cold.” The New guy said. Actually, I suppose he could be the more experienced guy now, but that doesn’t sound a good. “Relax.” Hewkii said. The New guy waited for a minute. “Aren’t you going to say something reassuring?” he asked. “Well, I can’t really. It’s going to be cold, and I hope you dressed warmly.” Hewkii responded, checking his gun. “Cold? How so?” JackaL who was in alt mode nearby, asked. “About -30, not counting wind chill. And considering we’re in the middle of a snowstorm..” Hewkii said. The New guy shivered. “So not very cold then.” JackaL said. “What? Of course it is! It’ll be bloody freezing!” the New guy said. “Then you’ve obviously never been to Tetris.” JackaL responded. “The game?” Hewkii asked. “No,” JackaL said, solemnly, “the planet. Although, it’s gone now.” Nearby Matanui Prime decided to talk. “That would be because a weapon specialist, not naming anyone, blew it up.” Hydraxhide honked his horn. “It was about to blow up anyways! You saw it!” “After it was blown up.” Matanui said. “That was you? Why you little-“ JackaL said angrily. “If you want to battle, let me drop you off here first.” Omega Kaita’s voice said. He was sort of conscious in all his alt modes at once. Don’t think too hard on that. “We’ve landed?” the New guy asked. “No, we are still about 20,000 feet up.” Omega said. “Oh.” The New guy said. A little bit later, Omega lowered, somehow found a spot, and let them out. “I will wait here until your return.” He said. “Yea OK-holy pants it’s cold out here.” The New guy said as he walked outside. Matanui drove beside them. “New guy, Hewkii, get in.” The two Matoran climbed into Matanui, and other Matoran did the same with Hydraxhide and the Wreckinators. Jodkra, meanwhile, had Johnson, in rocket mode, on the top of his car. This is also irrelevant, since he let Matoran into his anyways. “I think it’s very cold up here.” Johnson said. “You’ll live.” Jodkra told him. “I hope so.” Replied Johnson. The company drove forward, Matanui leading them, Hydraxhide in watching the back. “How are you supposed to drive on this? I keep slipping!” LesoSpinn said. The Matoran inside of him looked worried. “Stop spinning, let go of the brakes, and make little spikes come out of yer tires.” Hydraxhide told him. There were some screams. “That didn’t help.” LesoSpinn said. “The tires are ones on the outside. Those were the seats.” iBrow told him. “Sorry.” LesoSpinn said. “I’m so sorry.” They continued on, and found the destroyed police car, surrounded by Ko-Metru police and ambulances, just as day was breaking. “Thank goodness you’re here! You must be from PEST!” a Ko-Matoran said to them as they drove up. Hewkii got out to greet him. “What happened?” Hewkii asked him. “He reported that he was stuck in the snow, then that he saw a car coming, then he said it was a tank, and then we heard an explosion, and I then when we got here I knew we needed to call you.” the Ko-Matoran explained. “How’d you know?” Hewkii asked once more. “There was big footprints.. I think they got covered by the snow... I can show you the way they went though.” The Ko-Matoran said. “Then lead the way. We’ll be right behind you. If anything happens, stay behind us.” Hewkii said as he got back into Matanui. The Ko-Matoran got into his cruiser and led the way. As they went, they began to see an abandoned village in the distance as the day grew brighter. They pulled up in front of it, where another destroyed police car could be seen. “We sent someone to follow the tracks. He said he saw a big two legged something that saw him, and that was the last we heard.” The Ko-Matoran said, beginning to cry. Hewkii and the PEST soldiers got out of the Autotoabots. “It’s OK; this guy won’t be going anywhere. Should you or us check out, Matanui?” Hewkii asked the Autotoabot leader. “Have your team check the buildings. We will wait here. If anything happens, get out of there.” Matanui told him. The Ko-Matoran looked shocked that the truck was talking. “You can head back now. It’ll be too dangerous to stay if we find it.” Hewkii told him. The Matoran nodded and drove back. Hewkii led his men forward. “Alright, look for anything big enough to fit a giant robot.” Hewkii told them, raising his weapons. They peaked behind corners, in buildings, under cars and in the sky, but they saw nothing. Up ahead was a large factory. “That looks as good a spot as any.” The New guy said. They advanced cautiously; any vehicle could be a Deceptikuta. Although all the vehicles here were totalled and rusted. “They got out of here in a hurry..” the Matoran beside Hewkii said. “I hope it was because gas prices were too high for them to keep driving to the city for everything..” the Matoran on the other side of Hewkii said. “Actually, I hope not. Rising gas prices would suck.” Hewkii said. “Yea, let’s hope that never happens.” The Matoran beside Hewkii said. “Yea.” They agreed. I bet you see what I did there. AAANNNYYYYWWAAAYYYS, by now they had made it to the factory. Lo and behold, there was a 40 foot tall hole in it. “Yea, it couldn’t have been a little guy..” the New guy said. They walked in cautiously. Looking around, they saw broken machinery, which grew stranger in design the deeper they pressed on into the factory. Finally, they found the hole. This hole was different than the first. In it was a tunnel. This tunnel was coated with metal. The tunnel was 50 feet wide and 50 feet high, at the least. It also had letters on the wall. And they weren’t Matoran letters. “Ya think it’s Metrutronian?” someone asked. “I would be on it.” Hewkii answered. He turned to his troops, “Alright, we’ll set up a perimeter around the entrance. New guy and I will continue exploring the factory with some of you. NO ONE goes into the hole, you understand? NO ONE.” They nodded in agreement. Hewkii, the New guy and 4 soldiers walked around, looking for anything else of interest. They found something. It was small, but obviously not Matoran in origin. It was light to hold, and one side was burnt clean off. It also had Metrutronian lettering on it. There were wires hooked up to it. “I guess the Ko-Matoran tried to do something with it.” The New guy said. “Like what Sector 6 did with Makutatron?” someone asked. “I guess so.” Hewkii said. A Matoran began to reach for it. He brushed dust off it. The dust was so heavy it made a thud when it hit the ground. The thud crawled away. “That was weird.” The Matoran said. “What, the thud? That happens all the time.” Hewkii said. “No, I thought I felt a rumble.” The Matoran said. The New guy looked sad at that. “And now we’re dead.” He said. A Matoran on guard at the hole yelled. “There’s something down there!” He yelled. Then they heard screaming, a very, very, very loud rumbling, scarping and otherwise not very good sounds. Hewkii grabbed the small object. “Get out of here! Move, move, move!” he yelled. The Matoran made a break for the exit, just as something huge burst through the room where the tunnel had been. Hewkii’s team ducked, rolled and ran to find another exit, as the giant thing slithered, slowly at first, then gaining speed, heading for the wall, not noticing the Matoran running from it. Hewkii’s team found a door, ran out and yelled for the Autotoabots. The Autotoabots transmoced, the 6 (technically 7 counting Johnson) of them standing with their weapons ready. Hewkii’s team ran for them, and then out of the wall behind them the Drill Dragon burst forth. Covered in saws, spikes, teeth and multiple little heads, each covered in saws, spikes and teeth, it was a thousand feet of ruin your day. It dropped, then went forward, the ground and bricks flying away from it practically. Hewkii’s team ran for their lives, and the Autotoabots opened fire. The concentrated firepower of the Wreckinators, Matanui Prime, Hydraxhide and Jodkra (with Johnson) made the Drill Dragon go back for a second, giving the Matoran time to get away. Then it stuck it’s head into the ground and buried itself, disappearing. “Did we make run away?” Johnson asked. “No, we just made it angry.” Matanui said, loading his gun. And then around them, the dirt started move. “SCATTER!” Hydraxhide yelled, and the Autotoabots did so just in time. The Drill Dragon came up out of the ground, roaring viciously. A thing opened up on its head. There stood a tall, bulky, one eyed Deceptikuta. “Autotoabots. I assume you are not familiar with my Drill Dragon. It is mine. It will kill you. I will also have you know that fighting it is unwise. It is nigh indestructible.” Shockvak said. Hydraxhide raised his weapons at the Deceptikuta. “Hey, I popped yer head off!” he said. “So you did. I imagine that the unwritten laws of combat say that I must kill you first. Very well. I must oblige.” Shockvak said. He disappeared back into the Drill Dragon, which turned itself towards Hydraxhide. Hydraxhide, in true Hydraxhide style, did the one thing we all expect him to do in any situation; shoot. And that he did. Firing both his cannons, he unloaded all he had onto the Drill Dragon. The Wreckinators transmoc and drove around it, firing their weapons as well. The Dragon still went for Hydraxhide however. It dipped its head, and sped forth, its saw-y mouth ready to kill Hydraxhide. Hydraxhide transmoced and drove. Towards the Drill Dragon. “Let’s play chicken.” Hydraxhide said as he drove towards it. “Hydraxhide! Don’t!” Matanui yelled, firing his weapon at the beast. Hydraxhide ignored him. The two sped toward each other, oblivious to shouts and shots. When it became obvious the Drill Dragon wasn’t going to turn away, (considering it’s a thousand feet long that would be pretty hard for it to do) Hydraxhide decided to have some fun. So when they got close enough, Hydraxhide transmoced, jumped and punched it right in the middle of its forehead. Somehow, somehow, this stopped it. Well, sort of. It stopped for a second, then as quick as it could, raised its head and threw Hydraxhide off, who just missed all its spikes and things. It then turned for the Wreckinators, who had not stopped shooting at it. They drove in reverse, still shooting at it. “If I kill it, can I keep its head?” JackaL asked. “Only if I leave you enough to keep.” iBrow responded. The unending firepower of the Wreckinators did not slow it down as it went towards them. Jodkra, who was nearby, raised Johnson, aimed, and fired. The shot hit it right inside the mouth. This just turned it off course. Towards Matanui Prime. Matanui fired his weapons, and saw what might be a chance. He shot at it, and when it got close enough, dodged the mouth, and went for some of the little heads. He transmoced his arms into his swords, and swung, chopping off two heads, damaging a third, and knocking several spikes off. The Drill Dragon spun, the Wreckinators concentrated in one spot, which sent a satisfying explosions forth, which in turn sent the Drill Dragon back again. Jodkra kept his firing up, as well as Hydraxhide, which began to take its toll on the Drill Dragon. Heads, spikes and saws flew off, and Matanui’s mighty swords sliced and diced whatever got close. Even the Matoran joined in, every shot helping. The Drill Dragon once more went under the earth, and everybody stopped, listening for where it would strike next. It came up right under Matanui Prime. Matanui had time enough to jump to the side, slicing off one of its teeth in the process. He rolled and transmoced away from it. “Omega, aerial assistance!” Matanui radioed Omega. “Right away sir.” Omega said back. The Autotoabots and Matoran continued to fire on the Drill Dragon, which kept getting closer and closer to sawing them into nothing. Then they heard Omega’s engines. The FTTT got close, and opened fire. Missiles, bullets and all that fun went to the Dragon, which did it a world of earth. Shockvak, who wasn’t expecting Omega Kaita, or any aerial assistance at all, commanded the Drill Dragon to retreat. It would do no good to lose it here. So it burrowed down once more, disappearing into the earth. Omega landed nearby, and the Autotoabots and PEST soldiers started towards him. “Do we have everyone?” Matanui asked. “Here.” Hydraxhide said. “Two for two.” Jodkra said. Johnson, who had transmoced into his robot mode, nodded. “Wreckinators all present.” iBrow said. Behind him was LesoSpinn and JackaL. “We lost some men in there..” Hewkii said. The New guy had a cut on his mask, but he was ok. “Very well then. If Shockvak still lives..” Matanui began to say. “Which he shouldn’t. I popped his head off and everything.” Hydraxhide said madly. “If Shockvak still lives, and he has that Drill Dragon of his, then I fear Makutatron may live as well, and that can mean only more destruction to this beautiful planet.” Matanui said as they boarded the ramp into Omega Kaita. “That Drill Dragon, what was it?” Hewkii asked. “Something Shockvak must have created. I’m not sure when, or how, but it cannot be allowed to remain. I can see that all it is made for is death.” Matanui said. “And what about Shockvak?” Hewkii asked again. “We’ve had a few run ins with him before.” iBrow said, “He changes bodies often I notice, so I guess it’s not your fault he still lives, Hydraxhide.” Hydraxhide grunted at this. “He’s a scientist, or inventor, but anyways, he is one of the most dangerous Deceptikuta, real tough to kill-“ iBrow started to explain. “If I just shot his head when I had the chance, we wouldn’t be in this mess. He wasunt that hard to decapitate once. Reckon I could do it again.” Hydraxhide said. “And his inventions are not usually for the better. I imagine the Deceptikuta are playing for keeps this time.” iBrow finished. “And they weren’t before?” The New guy asked. “Good point.” iBrow said. The FTTT flew towards PEST headquarters, where bad news awaited them. END OF CHAPTER Fun Commentary: Whew! That was a long one! 5103 words! I think I should stop doing such long ones... What do you guys think? Also, Makutatron, Makutatron, Makutatron. How the mighty have fallen. The whole point of the scene with him rolling down the ramp and his lisp (which will be gone now) was to show just how weak he has become. Remember when everyone was afraid of him in Transonicle? Well, now even the drones were laughing at him. He's died once, been brought back, and been beaten badly, had his arm chopped off and part of his face blown off, then thrown off a pyramid then left to rot, un-repaired, in the bottom of Nihiscream's ship. He will not be a happy camper, and things will onyl get worse for him from here on in. MTL

Ahah, loved it. All that build up for such a heart wrenching tale! Wait, wouldn't a fire in the middle of the diner burn it down? Naaaww MTL
