TBK

IC: TBK [2/20]

 TBK watched on his back as Vox pierced his rifle, kicked the corpse away, and threw out his spear straight at TBK. While he wasn't quite sure what Vox did to it, he did not want that spear to reach him. Before the spear got too close, TBK let loose a stream of plasma at the spear, attempting to disintegrate it before it reached him. However, upon contact with the spear, it exploded, still quite a distance from TBK but close enough to send shrapnel rocketing his way [1/20].

 Vox was probably gone, but TBK was almost completely incapacitated -- his legs were laced with bullets, leaving him only to slowly crawl toward Shadowhawk's outpost. It would take him an hour to reach that point without any help, though, and any more attacks from the enemy would do him in.

[1/20] Requesting aid.

I think the most interesting part of all this is imagining people's faces if they actually announced LEGO Shrek.

IC: TBK [5/20]

As TBK inched closer, he heard ten more shots ring out, several smacking the feet of his Chro shield. Unfortunately, a few also flew past and through the lifeless feet, leaving two bullet holes in each of his own legs [2/20]. As his legs buckled under him in pain, he superheated Chro's corpse and lit it aflame, and with a last blast of plasma, he rocketed his flaming meat shield into Vox's path as TBK fell to the ground.

"Now!" he shouted to Shadowvezon

[2/20] Attacking Voxumo.

We all heartily appreciate your work, Bink! Have an Awesome Birthday!

IC: TBK [6/20]

TBK shakily hefted himself back onto his feet, breathing a sigh of relief at the sigh of Chro's... well, slightly mutilated body. He decided that he wanted never to go down by way of a spider horde. He had little time to celebrate, though: turning his head to the left, he spotted a revived Voxumo pointing a rifle straight at TBK.

"Oh karz."

He only had enough reaction time to shield his face, but nothing else before Voxumo pulled the trigger. Two bullets flew past, but despite the distance, two still hit Voxumo's target: one to TBK's shield, the other nicking his thigh [5/20]. He yelped in pain as he stumbled back, almost tripping over Chro's corpse. He only had seconds to think before Vox before would most likely fire again. There was no cover nearby... except...

He picked up Chro's body and held it in Voxumo's direction as a full body shield, slowly advancing toward Voxumo. I can't believe I'm doing this again, he thought.

[5/20] Advancing toward Voxumo.

...I killed TBK the night he protected me. That was a big mistake.

 

Oops.

I noticed that and had to stare for 10 seconds before I burst out laughing.

I suppose this means that any rounds of mafia with me as the doctor will turn out very badly. :3

IC: TBK [9/20]

 Just as TBK socked Chro, a sword simultaneously came down on his exposed back [7/20], almost sending the two tumbling each other to the ground. TBK had just barely gained his footing when a bolt of lightning zapped Chro... this was almost a good thing, except that TBK was close enough to share a bit of the shock. [6/20]

"EGAD!" he shouted as he fell forward. In a last ditch effort to finish off the fighter before he was rendered incapacitated himself, he flung a bolt of plasma at Chro as he faceplanted onto another corpse's face. That was gonna scar TBK for a while.

[6/20] Attempting to hit Chro and kissing zombies.

One word: procrastination.

I say that because I'm doing it right now.

Just want to point out that if you squint at the gold circles on the upper left and lower right hand corner, as well as the circle in the middle, it totally looks like the UDD symbol center.  Maybe I'm seeing things because I want to, in which case, tell me I'm nuts, but that's what I'm seeing now...

How much are you squinting?

 

 

So there might be a TV show? Ugh, i really don't want to think about that. For some reason I feel like it's not going to turn out good.

Depends on what they do with it, Hero Factory TV Show was kinda good from the start, but still childish. That was because the theme was not meant to be "good" If that makes any sense.

 

Honeslty, the other TV shows Lego is doing are great. I dont even know anything about Ninjago and do not follow the sets, but I watched half of the episodes on youtube simply because I just wanted to know how the story goes on and it was really well made.

 

If Lego decided to bring Bionicle back, they know they will have to do everything they can to not screw up.

 

Here's just hoping if they do make a series that they're going to give it their all.

Give the show a sense of awesomeness the story deserves.

(I'm not expecting it to be perfect from the start. I`m patient, and patients paid off with, for instance, Transformers Prime)

Here's to hoping that it won't be anything even relatively close to the tone of The Legend Reborn.

I could never pass up a trip to space in a flying building with murderous cyborg engineers.

Any spot, please

Ah, that makes sense. I suppose the only alternative would be for LEGO to let up on their policy a bit, but I guess that won't happen anytime soon.

At least we have the LEGO message boards.

Greg left this site due to a rigorous policy about child interaction that Lego introduced in early 2011 (incidentally just before the long downtime) that didn't allow their employees to talk to children under thirteen. There was a plan at the time to create a forum here available only to members over thirteen that Greg could remain in, but that never happened.

Did something prevent them from actually doing that, or did we just not really get around to making that forum? My hope is that it's the latter and that it'll become a possibility again.

Grats on winning the set!

IC: TBK [9/20]

 Both of the blades missed, but they still nearly sent Chro tumbling, allowing Colette and TBK to catch up. As Colette ran to one side of Chro and fired a bolt, TBK ran to the other in an attempt to swing his fiery fist past the shield to Chro's abdomen.

 As he did so, he heard a shrill cry come from far behind him and slowly muffle back out to silence. Looking up to see Voltex, he knew exactly what had happened, and the thought sent a shiver through his spine...

[9/20] Attacking Chro.

IC: TBK [9/20]

As he neared Chro, two bullets struck Chro's shoulder and spun him around to see TBK and Blade charging him with weapons raised. At this point, Chro understandly began to scramble for cover once again, but TBK was already on his tail when Chro began moving again. TBK was beginning to grow weary of running, though, so in a swift effort to slow down the fighter and finish him off, TBK launched two glowing blades -- one at Chro's feet, the other at Chro's head -- and superheated his clenched fists to deliver any finishing blows if necessary.

"Nothing personal," he whispered.

[9/20] Attacking Chro.

Haha, 'tis the truth! Still enough to keep my hype train chugging along, though.

Good to see you back, Katoris!

As long as I can keep my motivation going strong over the next few days, I think I could actually get a couple of entries into this.

Then again, I'm a BZP comic maker, and many of us know how well that goes over.

IC: TBK [9/20]

TBK continued to blast the stream of plasma until he began to feel the toll of using his power for so long. His arms fell back down to his sides, and to TBK's surprise, the stream had not made it through the pile. I guess it's time to go back to plan A, he thought.

He climbed to the top of the corpse heap to see Chro scrambling in the opposite direction, who looked a bit singed from the heat. TBK began pursuit alongside Blade and held up a shield with one arm shield to brace for a counter attack. On his other arm, he readied his blade for a melee strike upon reaching his target.

[9/20] Charging Chro. Again.

IC: TBK [9/20]

As TBK was just about to reach Chro, TBK braced for anything: a laser, a sword to the face, spontaneous combustion, anything. And just as he started to raise his daggers to strike -- Chro ran. And just like that, the epic-ness of the moment deflated. Like a pathetic balloon. Oh well.

TBK diverted the course of his sprint to follow Chro, stopping just before the corpse pile blocking Chro. A normal fighter would do the right thing and jump over the pile to take him on like a man, but TBK just loves alternate methods. So instead, he pointed both his blades at the pile and mustered his concentration, firing a focused stream of plasma and attempting to hit Chro on the other side through the incinerated bodies.

[9/20] Attempting to hit Chro.

IC: TBK [9/20]

Outside the everlasting battle against Luroka was TBK, sneaking toward the outward rim of the pile of corpses. His goal was to keep at least a hint of surprise as he approached Chro, but trying to climb over a myriad of bodies inconspicuously was a task that was simply beyond his ability. He finally stopped just outside earshot of Chro, and as was his habit, he stopped and hid until he had an opportune moment.

Within a few seconds, the moment came: Shadowhawk was aiming at Chro. Just as Shadowhawk pulled the trigger, TBK lunged from his spot and sprinted -- or rather, attempted to sprint -- over the bodies to close the distance as quickly as possible, hoping Chro was too distracted to notice in time. As he ran, TBK heated his blades and prepared to throw a stab or two.

[9/20] Charging Chro.

IC: TBK [11/20]

Fortunately, the blast of plasma had successfully wiped out the horde of rahkshi, but as one of the rahkshi exploded from the heat, his staff propelled toward TBK at a bit of a scary speed. He managed to dodge most of the staff, but the projectile still nearly ripped his shoulder open [9/20]. Nonetheless, TBK was now free to join his teammates in the fight... but where?

Then he noticed Luroka and Fishers playing some weird tug-of-war with a big drill-looking thing. He charged up his blade to fire at Luroka, but just before he released, he saw someone else about to swing down on Fishers from behind -- so he swung his arm and fired a bolt of plasma at Chro instead.

[9/20] Attacking Chro.

IC: Kovant, aboard Duality

 The quiet De-Matoran was once again sitting on the bow of the boat, deep in thought and sporadically scribbling notes and thoughts as they flew through his mind. The peace, however, was shattered by the blow of the boat's horn, and he looked up for the first time in an hour, quite annoyed until a familiar sight met his eyes. The grand sight of the City of Flames sent a surge of both relief and excitement through his body. As much as Kovant loved traveling Spherus Magna, he would never pass up an opportunity to walk through his old dwelling, among old friends. For him, the Ta-Matoran were the equivalent of his family that he never knew -- for him, this was home.

 As they approached the docks, Kovant hefted himself back to his feet and strode to the deck of the caravan, looking for anyone who needed help packing or securing anything. Kovant himself had very little to worry about aside from his knives, pouch, and new shield, so he naturally had time to help others move things around.

I wish I was still alive to see this

Nonetheless, it was beautiful.

IC: TBK [13/20]

TBK's eyes fluttered open as he woke to the sounds of gunfire, lasers, and clashing metal. The second round had already started. And here he was, sleeping and having nightmares about rahkshi and skull spiders... strangely enough, however, he looked up to see 15 rahkshi attempting to violently poke him. [11/20] Maybe those weren't nightmares.

"Well, this is convenient." He scrambled to his feet, backing away from and flashing his blade toward the horde. He wanted to help out his team, but he could do little before he got rid of these armored slugs. He spun around and sprinted from the rahkshi for nearly a hundred feet, and when he was confident they were all behind him, he spun around and let loose a stream of plasma toward his foes.
