A body falls through the air, caressed by millions of sparkling glass shards spinning idly in the soft breeze. Stunning crystal towers rise flawlessly to meet him and vanish overhead as his body disappears into the darkened streets. [ Chapter One: Cold Fish Sandwich ] The hum of the transport chutes across the balcony, the whirr and clank of the Vahki patrols down the street, the roar of airship engines overhead. Morning in Le-Metru again.Sunlight crept through slotted blinds, glimmering over widgets and broken masks scattered across the floor. Kakaru mumbled as the light stung his eyes and begrudgingly pulled his feet from the covers. He adjusted his green Kakama and idly kicked a gear across the room, watching it spiral in on itself. Wub wub wub wubwubwubwubwubbbbb. His cold fingers gripped the edge of the bed as he sat up and gazed around the room, letting his eyes focus. Chiseled tablets of outdated prophecies, maps of the chute systems and lists of black-market shops lined the walls in disarray. Copies of his papers from the Ga-Metru college were scattered across the table in the corner, pinned down by empty mugs and dead lightstones. He'd only failed one class last semester on Practicality versus Aesthetics in Ga-Metruian Architecture because he thought the current transport system could have been more effective and he wrote a strongly-worded thesis saying just that. The door to his left was barred by a thick metal pipe, a practice he picked up to keep the Vahki patrols from going through his room while he was away.Kakaru stood up, bracing himself against the desk to keep from falling over. He blinked several times and reluctantly opened the blinds, setting the moody room ablaze with white light. He walked to the freezer and pulled out a cold sandwich from four days ago. As he broke off a small portion to munch on he stared out the window at the chutes running large cargo crates. Huh. Large, industrial, molten protodermis spill marks, heavy soot, travelling east on chute five from the lower levels, tagged with inspection papers from Onu-Metru. That means it's most likely mining tools being sent to the forges for repairs. Nothing of value.Kakaru finished off his sandwich and snatched a paper from the wall, checking his references for the day. One functional mask of illusion with mottled yellow-black design, to be traded to a crafter in southern Ga-Metru. Mahi dung, the closer to the Coliseum the worse Vahki patrols got. That one would be hard. Next item. Three small refined protodemis obelisks, lifted from a market stall in the City of the Carvers, to be resold to a collector not two kio away by the Atrium. That one he could hit on his way out, easy.And... that was it? Kakaru shrugged. He could have sworn he managed to haul away more than that last time. Then again, he was risking a lot in the first place. There had been several threats against Turaga Dume by an unknown Matoran faction and the Vahki had doubled their efforts to find them after an actual assassination attempt during a Grand Kolhii match. Kakaru smirked when he thought about it. He had nothing against Dume, but one had to admire the guts of those guys to try taking out the Elder in broad daylight during a public event.Kakaru folded the list and tucked it under a stone tablet. He opened the front door, latched a small wire to the inside, and shut it again as he walked out, pulling the string taut. If anyone tried forcing their way in to confiscate evidence that he was a petty thief, they'd be cremated by six pounds of volatile protodermis before their hands left the knob. Maybe a little extreme, but it was better than being caught. The law was everything in this city. [ Review ]

Hello, BZP! It's been a while ever since the forums went down and I know it was worth waiting for it to come back up and resume our usual posting or comedy making or doing comics.In my case, therefore, I'm going to do a reboot of one of my comedies (the first one created, though), known as... The Alpha Team Meets Bionicle.However, there's going to be different things regarding rebooting my comedy:1. The reboot will not be a simple cut-and-paste type. In other words - I'll keep the ones that are still usable, trim out the fat/useless ones, and replace the empty gaps with new ones.2. The original one can be viewed here: http://www.bzpower.c...opic=250494&hl=3. Anyone who PGS or GS in the comedy before it "ended" or the forums went down...I'm sorry. The reboot will have to clean out any PGS or GS out to make the comedy look new with a clean slate and not following the simple cut-and-paste types. However...if you're just new or you used to PGS or GS in the comedy before it "ended", the rules are still the same:1. Never post your GS application on this topic. It'll be ignored. You should send the GS form via PM.2. Don't PM me saying "Can I be a GS?". That'll be ignored and it'll be deleted from my mailbox (considering it as spam).3. If you send me an incomplete GS application, I'll give you one more chance (or not) to complete it. If you refuse to do that, then I can't accept you, considering it as spam.To be a PGS or a GS, you had to fill out this application:Name: (Use original names, not like Lewa101)Alpha Team agent/Bionicle/Matoran:PGS/GS:Personality:Male/Female:Good/Bad:If you choose to be a Bionicle...Species: [Example: Toa (Mata, Nuva, Metru, Hordika, Inika, Mahri, Phantoka), Dark Hunter, Makuta, etc.]Mask?

Sun and clouds hanging in the sky, the city bustling with people going to work with vehicles passing by, the mountain far away on fire- Wait...a mountain on fire?!? Yes, this mountain is out of the typical...in this case...*KABOOM*...the Alpha Team had found Ogel once again...Dash: We got you this time, Ogel! Now let go of Radia!Ogel: Oh really?

I can't open with these screwdrivers!Dash: Uh-huh...Charge! Unlock the door!Charge: (With a monotone voice) You're kidding.

Un-TeeVee: I'm a robot!Dash: TeeVee! Do the Super Robot Kick!TeeVee: OK... (Walks up to the door)TeeVee uses the Super Robot Kick! It's not that effective!TeeVee: (Falls down with its foot stubbed) Myfootmyfootmyfootmyfoot...Dash: *Facepalm* Flex! Unlock the door!*Silence*Dash: Flex? (Sees Flex sleeping against a wall with his frozen smile frozen on his face still)Flex: ZZZZZZ :biggrin:Dash: Flex!Flex: MEEP!Dash: Unlock the door ahead!Flex: B-but these ropes aren't meant to break doors!Dash: *Facepalm* Crunch... (Sees explosives already set against the door many minutes ago)Crunch: Set. *Presses the explosion button*Crunch uses Explosives! It's super effective!*Kaboom!*Now everyone is covered in explosion soot.Cam: Well, at least it worked.The Alpha Team then enter the secret room Ogel and his hostage Radia had entered...to notice something out of the ordinary here.Dash: What in tarnation is this room?!?Ogel: Surprised?In the room...is a giant honking rectangular portal with a colorful vortex already activated.Ogel: This, is my new invention. It has the power to teleport to other dimensions. In this case, I will conquer many other dimensions and destroy any that oppose me! I WILL BE THEIR KING! :evilbiggrin:Radia: O_O"Dash: *Sigh*Cam: EEP!Flex: MEEP!TeeVee: Current robot reaction - OH NO!Charge: (Monotone) Well...that's impossible.Ogel: Shut it, you emotionless freak!

Tahu: What is this?Pohuta: It's probably one of our canisters that we came through.Tahu: Well, why it won't open?Onua: Open it!Tahu: If you insist... *Pokes the canister**HISSSSSSSSSSSSS....POP*Lewa: :bigeek:Tahu: It's only a door, hello?An odd LEGO robot with feet, a TV screen as a head, and antennas on top of it stumbles out of the canister ship*TeeVee: Ouchies, my feet...Gali: Who are you?TeeVee: AUGH! Did you understand me?Tahu: We do. So who are you?TeeVee: TeeVee. The Alpha Team's assistant on many missions. We are trying to find the sinster Ogel who is planning to make his own world.

Alright everyone, with the (second) reboot of the BZPRPG, I was wondering whether everyone wanted to reclaim their Sonic characters for it, or if I should just scrap the idea (maybe modify a couple characters to use myself.) If you wish to still use them, I have all the profiles I made saved, and everyone can have their characters from before, or can choose new ones. What does everyone think?

Scenario: It's the year 2021, and you've just been given the task of doing a "reboot" of the Bionicle franchise; essentially, a different continuity completely separate from the "G1" series. Naturally, you accept. Lego has basically handed you a copy of the old story bible and said "Here, use this as a guide, but you can make some changes if you like. Knock yourself out." Your budget for the first year is $20 million. How would you go about it? What media would you use to tell the story? Whereabouts in the storyline would you start? Would you make any alterations to the setting, characters, or plot? How would you maximise appeal to the target audience? (For that matter, what kind of audience would you be aiming for?) What would you do?
