Chapter 10- Episode 3: Destroyer's Game (Part 2) (Onua smashes a pair of Quake Beasts with his hammer, shattering them into purple crystal.) Onua: Well, what do you know? (With a mighty battle cry, he causes purple crystals to creep along the ground and shatter another group of Quake Beasts. He then destroys one of the Beasts' masks with his Blazing Crystal Hammer.) Pohatu: Now see THAT is a cool weapon name! Lego: It's a tool. Pohatu: You're a tool. Onua: *panting heavily* Destroy the masks. That's the key. Gali: Are you seriously out of breath from that? In the last scene you jumped like 300 feet in the air and didn't even gasp! Onua: Maybe I skipped arm day? Gali: Have you seen yourself? Your entire body is arm. Onua: Oh well uh, I wonder what Kopaka and Tahu are up to? Everyone loves those guys! Gali: Hey, don't you dare change the scene without explaining this lack of-- (Meanwhile, Kopaka freezes a Storm Beast and shatters it before crushing its mask under his foot.) Kopaka: Nice. Tahu: Don't you mean ice? Kopaka: No. Tahu: (Back on the bridge, Pohatu smashes another Storm Beast, but before he can break its mask, he is tackled by two more Storm Beasts.) Pohatu: Hey! Gali: We're going to need more than just our weapons. Lego: For the last time, they're Toa Tools! Gali: Um, actually that was directly from the script. Lego: Oh... well never mind then. (Gali sends a wave at Pohatu and his assailants, knocking them all to the ground. Gali quickly smashes the Beasts' masks.) Pohatu: You know, I just dried out. Gali: Yeah, sorry. #SorryNotSorry (She gives Pohatu a hand to help him back up.) Kopaka: Forget that! They're coming! Pohatu: Forget saying sorry and picking me up? Wow. Rude! (Two Lava Beasts grab Tahu and encircle him in a bubble of fire.) Tahu: Whoa! Hold on there! (One of the Lava Beasts takes Tahu's mask.) Lewa: They've taken his mask! Finally I'm not the worst Toa! Tahu: I'm outclassed by Pohatu and Lewa?! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO BIONICLE?! (The other Lava Beast rips off Ikir and throws him away.) Gali: He's lost his connection to Ikir! Lewa: So it's up to us? Gali: That's right! (Gali and Akida shoot water at the bubble of fire, but it has no effect.) Lewa: Silly Gali, you don't fight fire with water. You fight fire with plants! Kopaka: And with ice! Gali: Well good luck with that. Let me know if you want to place bets on a Pokémon battle later. (Lewa wraps Tahu and the Lava Beasts in vines while Kopaka freezes them to the ground.) Kopaka: It's working. Lewa: Oh yeah, keep it up! Gali: You defeated the fire monsters with plants and ice? WHAT'S HAPPENING TO BIONICLE?! (As Tahu claws for his mask, the Lava Beast throws it away.) Lewa: I got it! (Lewa leaps into the air and kicks the mask into Tahu's face. Filled with power, he blasts the Lava Beasts away.) Tahu: Did you just kick my mask? Lewa: Seemed like a good idea. Tahu: It was. Thanks guys! But seriously Lewa, if you touch my mask again, I will light you on fire and drop your ashes in a volcano. Kopaka: Hey, if they can work together, so can we, right? Pohatu: Did Kopaka just suggest we work together? WHAT'S HAPPENING TO BIONICLE?! (Ikir flies over to the group.) Tahu: There you are! Ikir: Hey, I almost died. You can't just throw birds off cliffs and expect them to fly. That's not how -- Tahu: Now, let's do this. Ikir: My undying love for piggyback rides is the only thing holding this friendship together. (Tahu and Ikir unite and the group charges at the Beasts, who run away from the Toa up a nearby hill.) Kopaka: I think we've done it. Look! Onua: You sure they're retreating? Lewa: I'm thinking they've got themselves a plan. Uxar: Oh... are we doing the weird talking thing again or what? Like... you speak just weirdly enough for it to be noticeable, but not weirdly enough for it to be iconic. You're like the uncanny valley of weird talking. Pohatu: These guys? They don't plan. Gali: Oh yeah? Look! (A group of Storm Beasts shoots lightning into the Mask Makers' City.) Gali: They make a storm big enough, it'll destroy the city! Tahu: Ignoring the fact that a storm isn't really a major concern for a city whose building are all carved from stone, why didn't you start that sentence with "if"? Director: Pacing. Tahu: This again? How much time are you honestly saving by -- Director: PACING! Tahu: Gali: Look over there! (On another hill, a group of Quake Beasts begins to levitate boulders.) Pohatu: Quake Beasts. Onua: Is that what we're calling them? When did we agree on this? It's really weird that you either invented the name just now or already knew what these things were called. Pohatu: I just wanted to be cool and get to name something for a change. Onua: Look, the last time you did that, we got the Kodan Ball and that wouldn't be explained for another 3 years, and then the explanation never made any sense. WHY WOULD YOU NAME YOUR TOA TOOLS AFTER A DEAD GUY WHO WAS ONLY KNOWN BY PEOPLE WHO HAD THEIR MEMORIES ERASED?! IT'S NOT LIKE THE TURAGA EVER KNEW HIM! YOU'D THINK THAT WOULD'VE COME UP AT LEAST ONCE IN THE METRU NUI SAGA, BUT IT DOESN'T. IT MAKES NO SENSE! Pohatu: Are you not more upset by the fact that the physical Kodan Ball itself makes no sense either? What was I supposed to do? Kick it at people? Onua: Oh, I only complain about storyline stuff. But you can complain about set design stuff if you want to have a hobby. Pohatu: Oh good, because I've got quite the rant about lime green joints. Director: You're both such nerds. Gali: Go! We'll handle this. Onua: Come on! (Onua and Pohatu run towards the Quake Beasts.) Tahu: Over there! Lava Beasts. Pohatu: No, wait! I wanted to name those guys too! Tahu: Oh? What would you have called them? Pohatu: Uh... Shmlava Beasts? Tahu: Kopaka: You might need some ice. Tahu: Sounds good to me. (Kopaka and Tahu run towards the Lava Beasts.) Gali: Onua and Pohatu, me and Lewa, and Kopaka and Tahu all pair up. Wow, real original script there. Director: Hey, shut up! It's called nostalgia! Gali: But how about some original pairings for a change? I don't think I've ever spent time with Onua, not once in 12 years of Bionicle! It's one of those awkward situations where we both have all the same friends, but we never hang out. Like how in The Force Awakens, Rey and Po have all the same friends and they basically never meet. Director: This sequence is maybe two minutes long and you've spent easily twice that time ruining it. Gali: Sorry. (Pohatu raises boulder from underground to smash into some of the Quake Beasts' boulders.) Pohatu: Of course! There are more! Onua: Step back. Pohatu: Okay. (Onua raises a wall of earth beneath him and Pohatu falls off it.) Pohatu: Why didn't you wait for me to step back?! You're a bad friend. (Pohatu glows with yellow elemental energy and reaches out towards the boulders, but gives up.) Pohatu: I can't. It's too soon. (As he braces for impact, Onua pulls him up onto his wall, out of harm's way.) Onua: Don't worry, I got you. Pohatu: You know we can't do this forever? Onua: The wall will work for a while. I have to go. Pohatu: Are you serious?! (Onua runs back to the bridge.) Onua: Don't worry, you'll be fine! Pohatu: *heavy sarcasm* Sure, go! I'll take care of this. (Pohatu uses his powers to lift up a boulder and launch it at the Quake Beasts.) Pohatu: Oh, I guess I did take care of it. Wow, I sure complain a lot... (Meanwhile, Lewa flies around two Lava Beasts.) Lewa: Too slow! (Lewa knocks off their masks and destroys them.) Lewa: Bye now! (He flies into the Lava Beasts and shatters them.) Lewa: Hey wait, since when do Lava Beasts fly? Director: Uh well obviously they use their elemental powers to heat up the air and-- OH FOR GOODNESS SAKE WHO CARES?! IT'S BIONICLE! EVERYONE CAN FLY! (Gali destroys another Lava Beast mask as Onua makes another improbable leap across the bridge.) Gali: I wonder where he's going. Lewa: Well I can guarantee he's not running off to read Isaac Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica to look up the Theory of Gravitation, because HOW IS HE JUMPING SO HIGH IT MAKES NO SENSE! Onua: Guys, I'm actually standing still. I just use my elemental powers to move the earth lower. Lewa: THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THAT WORKS! (Onua climbs the stairs to the Mask Makers' forge. Terak jumps off his back and they walk off in search of Ekimu. They find him overlooking a balcony at the top of the forge.) Onua: There's something strange going on. Ekimu: This is Bionicle. You're going to need to be A LOT more specific than that. Onua: Ekimu: I know. I've been watching for some time. If the object is to awaken Makuta... Onua: Then why attack the city? ... Also why are we still pretending he's asleep when we've already established that he's trapped in another universe and is very much awake. Director: Nostalgia! It's like Generation 1, only backwards! Onua: Except it isn't. We had to rescue the good guy who was actually asleep. Makuta was never asleep. At no point. Yet the lore keeps saying he was. THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE STORY, HOW DO YOU KEEP GETTING THIS WRONG?! Director: IF THIS IS A SIMPLE STORY, WHY DO YOU KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS?! Ekimu: Okay so uh... I'm just going to continue the scene, okay? *Ahem* Exactly... yet the city is attacked and you return to protect it. Onua: This is a trick to keep us busy! Ekimu: There is only one way to open the door between our worlds and that is by merging the elements. Onua: But how can Umarak-- ? Ekimu: The Forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power. Onua: But it was destroyed. Also, seriously? Thousands of years go by and no one thought of a better name for it? Ekimu: Its pieces were scattered, but it seems my brother has found them. We must go. Onua: But if we leave, who will protect the city? Ekimu: Well you've been doing such a great job so far, Mr. Runs Off to Talk During a Battle. Onua: Har dee har har. At least I'm not standing on a balcony watching a battle that I know is a distraction. Seriously. What was the point of me coming to find you if you already knew the battle was a trick? You should've come to me! Director: Look, new scenes are hard to animate. We already paid for them to draw the Forge so gosh darn, we're going to use it! Onua: Great... So who's protecting the city, then? Ekimu: You don't know? (They turn to Terak who jumps excitedly.) Onua: Of course. Ekimu: That's right. The time for Unity has passed. Go now. I will join you when I know where we are going. Onua: I... wait, what? That makes no sense. Where do you want me to go??? Ekimu: Just go, I'm doing a thing here. It'll make sense in the next part. (Onua and Terak leave as Ekimu turns towards the stormy mountains.) Ekimu: Come! It is time! (Agil flies to Ekimu and lands beside him.) Ekimu: Yes, you are right. I have stood on the side-lines too long. Agil: Wow, you sure are reading a lot into me saying literally nothing. (Ekimu walks through an unexplained door, where he transforms into a Toa. He emerges and Agil lands on his arm.) Ekimu: Go! Find Umarak! Agil: Okay, I'll just go do that. It's really weird that I've been around this whole time and you didn't use me to find Umarak before. Even when you knew the battle was a trick, you had to wait for someone to call you out on it before doing anything about it. Ekimu: Look, are you just going to stand there and criticize my methods or are you actually going to do your job? Agil: How about I find Umarak and just sit around until someone asks me about him? How about that? Ekimu: You've got an awful lot of sass for a magic robot bird, mister!

You really won't go far Unless you choose Chimchar

Are you in it for the PVP or just the completionism? Every time it feels like I'm going to 100% it, they keep adding new duelists.

1) A Toa may not injure a Matoran or, through inaction, allow a Matoran to come to harm. 2) A Toa must obey orders given it by Turaga except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A Toa must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

One of the first 3D games I played. Gave me hours of entertainment and years of fond memories. My condolences to his family and well-wishers.

Is that you in the picture? I always assumed you were some kind of giant Minifig.

Booking a row is foolish. You want to book a column. No one is in front of you, you can put your feet on the seat in front of you, no annoying people talking behind you... Heck, while you're at it just book out the whole theatre.

So all told it's about 2000 pages? That's about 0.57 Harry Potter heptalogies. Seriously, though. Incredible job.

Robot dinosaurs. That is all.

Hey man, I can draw squiggly lines too. I don't even need no fancy math neither.

All's fair in love and war.

Everything seems to be in order here.

Just you wait for Hurricane Jean Valjean.

Set a trap for a Bionicle fan and catch a cypher decription fan. What a metaphor for life.

Hugh Mungus, however, is still living large.

Forretress is a difficult Pokémon to raise, I will warn you. When your best move is Explosion, it’s hard to rack up the EXP. I had one on my team in my HeartGold playthrough and regretted it severely. Pretty solid team, otherwise.

"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Money and time well spent.

I was referring to quality, not quantity.

Not trying to answer for xccj, but my own answer would be: better voiced, better written, better animated, funnier, more emotional, and last but not least, longer. Oh Elves. If only Bionicle were given your marketing power...

People actually liked the G2 launchers? I was not a fan. I mean, sure, they worked. But have you ever tried finding a single stud that you've blasted half way across the room? Literally impossible. At least when my squids misfired, my Zamor fell out, and my Rhotuka blasted away, I could still find them afterwards. That being said, I didn't really like the added burden of the ripcord for the Rhotuka. Like, I understand the importance from a functional aspect, but they really just got in the way. And why not just call them Zamor instead of Midak? Such an unnecessary complication. Sorry, this awakened some latent projectile-related rage within me.
