"I have come to the conclusion," said Jerbraz, "that Tobduk is completely insane." Johmak sighed, letting down the atlas she had been previously perusing and looked up at the space where her invisible colleague was sitting. "And how, pray tell, did you come to that conclusion?" If the other Order member sensed the sarcasm that was positively dripping from each and every one of her words, he did not make any signs of having done so. Instead, he simply decided to answer the question in his usual irritating tone. "He's always incredibly angry," explained the warrior. "And have you seen the way he kills people? It's absolutely horrible! He makes us look like a group of murderous psychopaths with no morals!" "Jerbraz, we are a group of murderous psychopaths with no morals." "I know that! But he's all 'I was made for war' and 'I am perfectly fine with interrogating you until your brain dissolves'! It's like we don't have standards!" "I don't see how that explains his insanity," replied Johmak, exasperation clearly present in her voice. "So Jerbraz, just tell me what exactly you're trying to blame him for." Jerbraz was silent for several seconds, the invisible warrior fidgeting as he tried to think up a way to reply to his colleague's answer. "... He broke my sword." "That's it?" "You don't understand!" he snapped. "My sword was invisible! Which meant I could stab things to death without anyone knowing! It was also beautiful! Well, it was before it turned invisible. But that's not the point! The evil moron broke my sword! Which means I must have ven ..." His voice trailed off as he stared at Johmak, who's expression had turned to one of horror. "He's right behind me isn't he?" said the Order member, a feeling of dread building up inside him. "Actually, I'm to your right," rumbled Tobduk. "Now, I heard that you want revenge." He gulped, slowly moving away before the titanic being crushed his head in. Sadly, despite being invisible, Tobduk managed to detect him with ease, tightly grabbing onto him before he could even take two steps. "Backing out already?" asked the giant, a malicious grin forming on his already terrifying face. "But we haven't even started." "It's all Johmak's fault!" The said being gaped, unable to close her mouth from the sheer absurdity. How dare he attempt to shift the blame onto her! They were supposed to be friends, yet he still would sell her out in order to save his own hide? She seethed. Jerbraz had gone too far. "Listen up you illegitimate son of a Brakas Monkey," she growled, taking a step forward, hand dissolving into crystal. "You are going to die for this." Even in such a terrible position, with two dangerous beings wishing to harm him, Jerbraz still smirked, raising his head high. "My handsome self is of much greater importance than you, my dear." "You won't be so handsome after I'm done with you," replied Johmak, preparing to pepper her colleague with shards. "Finish your lover's spat later," interrupted Tobduk, who was clearly annoyed by their antics. "Although there might not be a later, depending on how I deal with you two." His other hand shot out, gripping onto Johmak. "Now then, shall we begin?" Elsewhere on Daxia, Trinuma winced as the sound of screaming filled the air. Tobduk really needed to make his victims scream quieter, because it was impossible to do work with so much noise in the background. The only sane member of the Order shook his head; it would be impossible dealing with his colleague, nor would he risk his own safety to do so. He would have to either man up and ignore the noise, or find a different solution. "Mental note," he said quietly to himself as he filled in another form. "Ask Helryx to invest in earmuffs."

X-Ray: The ReturnIt was back. For real.X-Ray stood in the gates of BZPower, hesitant to enter. It had been several months since he had gazed upon the forums, and typed in a witty line for the Bionicle Caption Contest, but it was back.He saw the line of members coming and going. He saw that things were about back to normal. He saw that he had forgotten his password.After the brief hustle accompanied by forgetting your password, changing it, and resetting it, X-Ray entered BZPower.It was glorious.He looked down, as his body transformed into how he saw himself on the site; a fine suit with a white dress shirt, blue vest, and a silver tie. He adjusted the new-improved Akaku Nuva-style eyepiece built into the right side of his head, and regaled in the site.Members were going to and fro, with Black Six and SPIRIT and the other admins and mods whose names he forgot directing the new influx of traffic. Everything was new and shiny and clean. The entrance booth still needed polishing, but he thought it looked okay anyhow. Yes, it was all good and fixed. X-Ray gazed happily at this new BZP, fully prepared to go forth and write and post to his heart's content.And then his cellphone rang."Never gonna give you up!" shouted his ring tone, "Never gonna let you down! Never gonna turn around and-"X-Ray snatched the cellphone out of his... pocket, flipped it open, and said:"Hello?""X-Ray, is that you?""Kapurkar?" said X-Ray, relieved to hear the voice of a frequent reader of his comedies. "How did you get this num- ah, never mind that, I'm glad to hear from you, buddy! How are you?""Just fine, X," said Kapurkar. “Listen, I just thought I’d call to tell you- all of the stuff in the library is gone. You have to go to the old forum archive, get the link to your comedy, and repost your stuff.”X-Ray groaned. That sounded annoying. “Okay,” he said, “I’ll remember to do that. By the way, how’s Ja-”Suddenly, as X-Ray turned around a corner to enter the Bionicle Storyline & Theories forum, a huge flash of light engulfed him. A moment later, he was surrounded by the cold of cyberspace, with all of the activity of BZPower frozen around him, his avatar appearance stripped from his being. He then gazed with confusion and annoyance at a sort of screen sign which had popped up. It said: “Need an account? Sign in right now!”Confound this new server, thought X-Ray as he complied with the instructions, just what in Hapori Tohu’s name is wrong with it?The next minute, X-Ray abruptly dropped back into the Storyline & Theories forum, and everything was fine. That’s the third time that’s happened since I got here, he thought, brushing himself off. I’d better edit it out of the overly dramatic one-shot I plan to write about me coming back to BZP. It might even make a good meta-joke. He flipped his cell phone open, only to find that Kapurkar’s connection had been cut off. “Well, great,” he said to himself. He had Kapurkar’s number from the last call’s memory, but he still couldn’t reach the toa of transport.“Nuts,” X-Ray said to himself again. “Well, off to repost all of my comedies. And short stories. And epic.” And with that, the scholarly faux-toa-of-ice walked back down to the main hall, with nobody giving a hoot that this particularly clever being had returned to BZPower.“Hey X!” shouted Nobody from his bench just outside of the Library, “you’re back! WHOOO!”“Hi, Nobody!” said X-Ray, shaking the mild-mannered wraith’s hand. “How’s my favorite anthropomorphic running joke doing?”“Just fine,” said Nobody. “And yourself?”"Oh, good. Have you been taking care of yourself?""Oh, yeah. I joined an MMA club!""Mixed Martial Arts?""No, Mild Mannered Aviators! I'm flying for charity!""Uh... huh. Well, I-"And so, the writer and the wraith walked into the Library, fully prepared to engage in a new era of thread-bare wit and occasionally funny jokes, with a bit of serious, EPIC writing on the side. But mostly comedies.* * *...I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! I assure you all, I'll be re-posting all of my stuff soon, but first, let me just say that it's wonderful to *AHEM* "see" you all again! Hurray for the Comedies Forum! And hurray for BZPoweeeeeeeeeeeerrrr!...What? Oh, yes. X-Ray
