For a fact this is what we know: -He is a carver-He is in a being from the Matoran Universe-He knows where the toa nuva are, and knows they won't die...yet if his plan works.-He has been waiting since Mata Nui left Spherus Magna and has been planning it since-He is not the same as the Great Being Aggonence because Aggon wanted to stop the Marrender before it got to the toa-Marrender could be the murderer, but the murderer is killing everyone, not just toa-We know it's not Hafu, or the Toa Mata/Nuva or the Glatorian and Agori With these facts it narrows it down to -Po-matoran-Takadox-A matoran or a weak being-or someone else-In my opinion Marvah. So...we just have to wait for The Powers that be 4.

Again, it cannot be Mavrah. He's still in the Red Star with Kopaka and Pohatu.

You maybe right, and Pirok I highly doubt Greg doesn't know who the murderer is. But we never thought Metus was the traitor, or that Makuta would suceed in taking over the Matoran Universe. Greg has always surprised us. So... It narrows it down to: -A matoran-Takadox-A matoran universe inhabbitant-Can't be a toa cause matoran were made before the toa, so it any matoran-A weak being But a friend of mine, iHuntress, from the BIONICLE LEGO MESSAGE BOARDS, says she knows who the great being is! She says that character was in the last two chapter books...

Really. The last two were...Raid on Vulcanus and The Final Battle. No one from raid on Vulcanus, they are all Spherus Magna Inhabitants... but The final battle.... What name comes up that isn't Dq'dNuva-NopeTaka-NopeIgnika/Mata Nui-NopeThe Makuta-All DeadAvtoran/Vican-SuspectsDume- And I think we can say it is him. -Star

I was a lurker since...roughly the middle of 2003. I'm not sure why I didn't join until 4 years later, but then again, I have a bad habit of Procrastinating -Star

Personally, I'm saying Krakua in the Great Beings' Fortress with the Sonic Vibration Sword. So far, most of the evidence lines up with him.

What about a future Krakua, sending a message through time to Vakama, While defending a besiged Island Fortress.....Wait. Didn't the Golden Fusion make a Fortress on Aqua Magna ? Could Krakua be discovered, run to the abandoned fortress, and be defending it from everyone who wants to apprehend him for the Murders ? Did he send the message to Vakama at that point to ensure that atleast Mata Nui would not die, and that Shattering could be undone....It Must be him. Sending the message could also mean his is Both the Murderer and the GB? -StarEDIT:

Upon conversing with the Skakdi, the fusion then created a large fortress on the cliffs near the ocean.

I would say the evidence REALLY points to Krakua now.

Ok, I am going to be destroyed for this, But I personally find Toa Mata Nui to be one of my favorite sets ever. Yup, I said it As for a least favorite titan set...I'd have to go Gadunka. I honestly never liked him as much as I thought I would the day I got him, he just, to me, had a weird build, and He just was not my favorite. -Star

Nearly any joint piece from 2008+. Even if they're not in lime green, I find them more brittle than the ones from 01-07.

This. Seriously, when I MoC with these, I have to pray before I try to connect it -Star

@ Pirok and Aidan Orde can't be the killer, he can't be in 2 places at once (he is with Gelu) so he can't be staging the GB fortress murder. I took "a little of this.." to mean just a few things to be done. If it's Krakua, a few sonic signal's, if Takadox, it would be more likely that he set up explosives and has a way to set them off. What makes me lean away from Takadox is why he wants the Nuva alive for a while. The murderer specifically says If Lewa was to close he would have to save him. Here is the most important Text I found on him. Maybe if we pull out all that we have here, we can figure out If it's Takadox, Krakua, or another. To quote BS01, Powers That be, Chapter 4

Baleful eyes started up at an imposing edifice of rock and mortar. Here, in the wooded region of Spherus Magna, the Great Beings had plied their trade many years agone. Now one remained inside that fortress, quite mad, but still brilliant and dangerous nonetheless.For the watcher's purposes, he hardly mattered. No, what was important about that building was who else was inside it now. Axonn, Brutaka and Toa Helryx, veteran warriors; Makuta Miserix, with all the power that title implied; Artakha, wearer of the Mask of Creation; Toa Tuyet, who was mightier than any of the others knew; and Vezon, gifted with the ability to move through dimensions the way others move through air. So many beings of power, all in one spot... it was quite delicious.So far, he had killed Tren Krom and Karzahni... one a madman, the other a gelatinous mass of hot air. Neither proved to be much of a challenge. The Toa were keeping the whole thing quiet, as they often did. Although the two heroes investigating the murders, Kopaka and Pohatu, had recently vanished, he was not overly concerned. They would turn up eventually. The plan required it.In the same way, the sight of Toa Lewa being dragged off by nature-loving Agori was at best a minor obstacle. If need be, he would effect a rescue in some indirect way before the Toa of Air could get into any real jeopardy. The Toa Mata were too important to have their lives sacrificed needlessly. Oh, they would die, eventually, but it would be at a time of his choosing.No one would ever suspect him, of course. No one ever had. As time passed and things had become clear to him, he had known this time would come. The most powerful would need to be eliminated individually – no point in risking the grand plan because he had missed one, after all – and the rest could be dealt with at leisure. He had expected it to be a time-consuming, if amusing, exercise, a sort of living strategy game in which only he knew the rules.Now, though, fate seemed to have altered the circumstances. So many of his targets, all in the same place, offered the opportunity to accelerate his timetable – much too good of an opportunity to miss. A little of this, a little of that, and the fortress would be so much rubble... and the universe far better off.With a smile, the bio-mechanical murderer set to work. It was going to be a good day, if a noisy one.

And

Back on Spherus Magna, a complicated and delicate job was done. At the proper signal, the Great Beings' fortress and its occupants would be so much ash.Their would-be murdered looked at his work and pronounced it good. He sat down on the ground and picked up a stone. Humming to himself, he began to carve it into a memorial marker for those about to die.

Quite Delicious- Clearly, this being is Insane. The Language used here Clearly Shows thatLiving Strategy Game, Neither proved much of a challenge- The Being thinks this killing is nothing more than Sport, and therefore must have power himself to Kill said beings (Tren Krom in particular)Leaving Lewa Alive, possibly saving him to die later- Why?. The being clearly thinks lewa is dangerous, but doesn't want him to Die now, what need does he have for the Nuva to be left alive till LaterPlan, No one would, or ever has suspected him- The Being has been planning this for a while. He has been someone who clearly has done nothing to make anyone suspect him. That might Eliminate Takadox ( Evil warlord, attempted to Kill Toa Mahri, Federation of Fear Group). Krakua, no one would suspect him.Complicated and Delicate Job- This leads away from Krakua however. If all he needs to do is send a Sonic signal, he wouldn't need to install any (implied) explosives, he's a toa. And this leads away from takadox as well, where is he going to get the material.Baleful Eyes- It means threatening, and only Orde has been described as having this look. But he is on another place on Spherus Magna, he can't be in two places at once ?Is the Murderer the GB- If he is, then we can Eliminate a HUGE Cast of characters (Toa Nuva, Mahri, Vakama, Krakua, TSO etc.). If they are not the same, the playing field is larger. And we discussed the rest already. Looking at everything relevant so far, the murderer Might not be either Krakua or Takadox. I apologize if this is too long, and if so, I will condense the post -Star

Indeed, until we know exactly what said plan is we can't be sure of the GB's intentions. Of course, "he has to be stopped" does suggest a sort of malevolence to the plan.

To Orde that is. Look at it like this. Say the Great beings motive is to hunt down and destroy every MU Inhabitant. To him the, plan is not malevolent. His machinery has done its purpose and now must be deactivated. To Orde, that is unforgivable and needs to be prevented at all cost. To the GB, he may see himself not as an evil being, but a creator who wishes to demolish his creation. _Star

As far as your question goes, it's possible they broke free themselves, considering there was a short time where the Gold Fusion was incapacitated. It might have weakened him enough to break his control over them. Getting a little off topic here, though. Reading the title of the topic gave me a thought. Not really a theory, but more of an idea, I guess. The gold fusion said he makes dreams into reality. If he still does have the Toa Mahri in his alliance, wouldn't that mean the Mahri would be able to dream Matoro back into existence?

This would be possible, but it would rob his sacrifice of its purpose. And Greg is not one who likes to create a "Land of the dead" -Star

Hm... Krakua. That would be an excellent role for a Great Being to play. He was different from the other Matoran, he told Vakama he had to send the Inika on their quest, he worked with the Order of Mata Nui... it's perfect. It must be Krakua.

What's the Motive though ? Krakua serves an Organization whose Job is to protect, not to Kill indiscriminetly, especially not kill 2 of his teammates and his Leader. Then again , he could have seen Helryx, Miserix, Axonn, Brutaka and others in his organization as too powerful, and that if they went rogue, who could stop them. But why would he want to keep the most powerful toa of air Alive ?..But he did say for now....But takadox has a better motive -Star

Anyone any ideas about the murderer? Anyone? Other than me? =P And I don't think GregF is done with us just yet. He'll probably give us all a nice, concluding chapter. Sometime in the next decade.

After many days of deliberation, I have to agree with you, to quote my Blog, which quotes BS01

Only Takadox paused to look back at the cavern where Carapar had died, wondering for a moment just what it would take to end the life of a being older than the stars.

Takadox- After thinking about it, he came to mind. After watching Tren Krom blow up Carapar, I remember takadox thinking about powerful beings. I think he may have seen Tren Krom's power, and to an Extent, Teridax power, and decided that they are too dangerous to be alive. It would be interesting if it was him. BUT he is not what you would call a powerfull being. He can only hypnotize, maybe enough to kill Karzahni, not Tren Krom, and all the inhabitants of the GB temple. Very interesting

-Star

Thankyou. =)And Takadox also encountered Karzahni while in the Pit.Overall, I think Takadox is looking a lot like the murderer. And in reference to the 'powerful being' comment, don't forget it's been a while since we last saw Takadox. I'm going to look for more information, and I'll edit this post if I find more proof of this. I found something, although it's not Takadox.

With a smile, the bio-mechanical murderer set to work. It was going to be a good day, if a noisy one.

Being with powers of sound, perhaps? I have below a list of all beings that have or have had power over sonics. So any who are sentient and are still alive can be considered suspects. (List quoted from BS01)

All of the following beings have or had the Element of Sonics.

• [*]All De-Matoran - Inaccessible[*]All Toa of Sonics
  • [*]Krakua[*]A Toa of Sonics from the first Toa team - Deceased[*]A Toa of Sonics killed by the Piraka

[*]Kohrak-Kal - Destroyed[*]Bohrok-Kal Kaita Ja - Formerly; unmerged[*]The Makuta[*]All Kraata and Rahkshi of Sonics[*]All Kraata and Rahkshi of Silence[*]Takutanuva - Formerly; unmerged[*]The Sonic Entity[*]A Lohrak mutated by the Visorak

Kohrak Kal would have been an Av-Matoran, and his mind would've been erased when he transformed. Lehvak-Kal and Pahrak-Kal are the only ones that could possibly be alive. He couldn't be a Kraata, because he would have been created after the universe was formed. Takutanuva wouldn't be possible. He wouldn't be a Lohrak, because it wouldn't even have a mind capable of having a great being in it. Look, you're basing this all on the fact that this person has sonic powers. I think all Greg meant was there would be a big battle.

I said sentient. I know the Bohrok-Kal technically are, and I also said alive. Takutanuva is not alive. And I also said sentient. So I knew it wouldn't be a Rahkshi. And I originally thought what Greg ment was an explosion. I'm just throwing out ideas, here. And Krakua is still alive.

Now, I did think it was Krakua At first, not due to the "noisy one", but this quote

And This

Like all De-Matoran, Krakua had very acute hearing. However, despite this, he had a habit of humming to himself, which caused many of his fellow De-Matoran to avoid him.

It very well could be Krakua, the wording is very similar, however, I still think it's Takadox. -Star

Ah, Finally this Topic is back. I think I have it narrowed down to 2 people Velika, Due to his cryptic behavior, and that sense of having more to him that meets the eye or Turaga Dume, but the Hypothesis for him was stated best above As for the murderer.....well don't get me started on this -Star

1. Have you changed since BZP came back?Yes, Indeed. 2. How have you changed?I have become a far more respectable Individual. I stopped being a huge Noob,learned to accept jokes as jokes, and I hope I have become a better (Hopefully) person for it. As I was on a hiatus during the downtime, I grew up in my life, and therefore, when I returned, I reflected the changes I have undergone in life online . 3. Have you noticed anyone else change?Yup. 4. So, what is 2 x 2, please don't say fish XD -Star

For a LONG time, I had no Idea. When I found out, weekly -Star

Wow, tough one. Mata nui was the original, and holds so many fond memories, but Voya Nui was so awesome, I had to go with it -Star

Well, Greg has signed back onto BZP ( today in fact). So hopefully, we can get some answers on whats going on. Here's to the best -Star

GregF is back now.

This is very welcomed news . Hoping for the best. -Star

My first BIONICLE was the Mctoran Huki. WeeGee

This. However, I only have his mask now. I had to go to the hospital that day, as I fell and got a stone stuck in my head ....wonder if that's what made me love Bionicle -Star

Furno 1.0 -Star

The only books that came after the Legends are some Guide books, Raid on Vulcanus, and the Legend Reborn Novelization. Web serials, as everyone said, especially Destiny War, Reign of Shadows, and Journey's End.

Aswell, as Mata Nui's Guide to Bara Magna, and Makuta's Guide to the Universe. Both are pretty good, but general, reference books. But BS01 is still your best bet

Great Cataclysm. Ironically fitting If I do say so myself -Star

All the stars, all at once. I am in the process of beefing my collection by filling in the holes in it -Star

Thanks Var, I'll hop on later tonight or tommorow -Star

Ohai Var, whats up. Long time, no see I went onto Transformer Fansites, and spent most of the time there. Then again, I had no idea as to what happened to BZP until august so.... -Star

Ah, TTV, Any chance I can guest star someday ?. Been so long since I did the podcast, I think it was still iBZP -Star
