Click this banner (or this link) to be taken to a new epic, released in 2015. It is a re-imagining of the events depicted in this topic. It is standalone, and is what I would call the "definitive" version, even if it is not yet complete. If you do read it, please note that reading this topic is NOT necessary.

 

Back on December 19, 2010, I posted the first chapter to a comedy I had titled Tahu vs. Tahu. It was a massive hit, reaching the hot topics list on the front page of BZPower 9 times and amassing 13 pages between the first two seasons. Unfortunately, that original topic was lost in the Great Downtime of 2011; however, when the forums returned I re-launched it with the third season. That topic can be seen here, where it managed 12 pages for the final two seasons. 

 

However, that topic is no longer readable due to the formatting errors that hit BZPower in late 2013, and since the loss of the archives, the first two seasons cannot be found at all. As such, I have decided to re-release the entire thing in this topic - right from the very beginning to the very end. Assuming that I remember to keep up with the schedule, I shall post a single chapter each day; after the completion of each season, I shall also release its related specials - chapters that were unrelated to the main story and served purely as comic relief.

 

Please keep in mind while reading that the comedy itself remains unchanged. It was originally written several years ago, and I have left it entirely intact. Hopefully it is still mildly fun to laugh at the horrible writing.

 

Anyway... without further ado, I present the original Tahu vs. Tahu.

 

(Oh, and I will update this post with links to each chapter as they are released.)

Tahu vs. Tahu – Civil War

Chapter 1 – The New Arrivals

 

10 Years Ago....

 

The boy rushed into the giant mansion, dragging several giant plastic bags behind him. Inside were several canisters and boxes, full of brand new toys.

 

Inside these boxes were rahi, such as Nui-Rama. Inside the canisters were the Toa Mata, all six. One would become the leader of all the bionicles to come, never challenged, never fought with.

 

Of course, if it were to be that way forever, then this comedy would end before it began, so of course things are going to get spiced up a bit.

 

Tahu Mata yawned and stood the first bionicle to ever be built in the mansion. He glanced around, and saw his fellow toa still in their canisters. He walked over to Lewa’s, sidestepping the bumps in the blanket, and twisted the canister open, with great difficulty.

 

After several minutes, Lewa was standing next to him.

“Hello.” Tahu said.

“Hello.” Lewa said. “This is... boring.”

“Yeah.” Tahu agreed. “But once more of us are built, we’re gonna have a party!”

 

And so, half an hour later, the rahi had all flown away, and the six toa were sitting with the turaga, who’d also arrived.

“I say we vote for a leader.” Turaga Onewa decided. “I vote Tahu, since he was the first open.”

“No, really, you don’t need to.” Tahu laughed.

“I’m serious.” Onewa told him.

“Alright then.” Turaga Matau said. “It is official. Tahu Mata is our leader!”

 

“This... should be interesting.” Tahu muttered.

 

Today....

 

“Alright.” Tahu Mata yelled, as the gathered bionicles below him fell silent.

“It’s been ten great years.” Tahu Mata announced. “We’ve announced Lewa Mata as my second in command; we’ve named several others as a lower level government. We’ve lived in peace and prosperity. Now, as you all know, bionicle is ending.”

There were prompt boos.

“Hero Factory sucks!” someone yelled.

Tahu Mata nodded. “However, we must prepare. We are receiving six new arrivals today, made as a tribute to some of us. I do not know who yet.”

 

“I hope it’s me.” Ahkmou interrupted.

“As I was saying.” Tahu Mata continued. “That is not the only thing; once Hero Factory arrives, we need to be prepared. They may be hostile, and we’ll have no idea how ruthless they are.”

“If they’re anything like us, then they’re gonna kill someone.” Kazi pointed out.

 

“Hey!” Toa Metru Matau swung into the room. “Shut up! The sets are arriving!”

“Places!” Tahu Mata ordered.

 

Not one second after Velika had dodged out of sight; several bags flew into the room and landed on the bed. Several black and yellow canisters fell off the bed and to the floor with a crash.

“Looks like some are species sets.” Tahu Mata said, crawling out of the shadows.

“Hey, the yellow one’s a Rahkshi!” Takanuva exclaimed. “It’s... yellow. And it doesn’t have a name. Just Rahkshi.”

 

“Looks like the series is called ‘Stars’.” Kazi announced. “Small set remakes.”

“Well, that does look rather spot on.” A Panrahk replied, gazing at the Rahkshi Stars. “Let’s open them.”

“Ugh... there’s twenty-seven.” Tahu Mistika groaned. “This isn’t going to be fun.”

“Relax.” The Panrahk assured him. “We Rahkshi will handle it.”

 

“What’s the black one?” Tahu Mata asked, approaching.

“Skrall Stars.” Kazi told him.

A cheer went up from the Skrall sets from the winter of 2009. One ran over.

“Hey!” it exclaimed. “This isn’t right! These Skrall are black and green! Only Tuma is black and green!”

A groan went up from the Skrall sets from the winter of 2009. The Skrall ran back over.

 

“Toa Hordika! You, the Visorak, and the Vahki can build the Skrall Stars.” Tahu Mata ordered.

“Yes.” Nuju Hordika grinned. “We get to build some of the last sets!”

“There’s a blue one!” Kazi called. “It’s called... Piraka Stars.”

“Awesome!” Vezok grinned. “Wait... why is it named after the line?”

Kazi shrugged. “I dunno. But it looks individual; there’s only one.”

 

Vezok glanced at the canister.

“Oh, that’s Nektann.” He told them. “Wonder why his canister doesn’t have a name?”

Vezok shrugged and carried the canister over to Zaktan and Avak. The other three piraka ran over to join in.

“The white one is... a Takanuva Stars.” Kazi called.

Both Takanuva and Takanuva Mistika rushed over. Both paused.

 

“Why does he look like a toa of ice?” Takanuva Mistika asked.

“Yeah.” Takanuva replied. “He should be white and gold, or at the very least, white and gunmetal.”

“Just build him.” Ackar said wearily.

 

“The green one?” Tahu Mata asked as several Rahkshi Stars and Skrall Stars stood and began glancing around.

“Gresh Stars.” Kazi answered.

Lewa, Matau, and Lesovikk snapped their fingers, muttering. Gresh rolled his eyes and stepped forward.

 

“What the heck?!” he exclaimed. “My weapon is silver! That stinks! And so does my all lime green helmet! Ugh....”

And with that, the jungle Glatorian sat down and began to build.

 

“The red one?” Tahu Mata asked.

Kazi glanced in, and then paused.

“Kazi?” Tahu Mata prompted.

“Yeah... um... it’s you.” He stammered.

“What do you mean?” Tahu Mata asked.

 

Kazi turned the canister and showed him.

“Looks like after a decade, you’re gonna face a challenge for your leadership.” Nuparu Inika pointed out.

“Yeah.”

Chapter 2 – Set Divisions

 

The Bedroom

 

Tahu Mata stepped back as the final Stars set stood. Tahu Stars stretched and yawned, much like Tahu Mata had ten years ago.

“This place looks cosy.” Tahu Stars said. “You guys must be the other bionicles, no?”

“We are.” Tahu Mata answered.

“Ah! Leader Tahu Mata!” Tahu Stars exclaimed. “Unfortunately, whether you like it or not, I’m clearly here to take your place as leader.”

 

“I doubt it.” Tahu Mata snorted. “I’ve lead the bionicles for an entire decade. We’ve lived in peace. If you want to lead, it will be decided by a democratic vote.”

“Ha!” Tahu Stars snorted. “I was made in your image, only better- I was clearly meant to lead in your stead!”

“Then be elected by vote.” Tahu Mata growled.

“How about a battle?” Tahu Stars asked, pulling out a gold Hau. “Wait... you don’t have golden armour, do you? I do, though. Looks like I win.”

“Yeah, right.” Lewa Mata stepped up. “Golden armour doesn’t mean you get to lead; Lhikan, Takanuva, Reidak; so many others would be leading this place if it was because of golden armour.”

 

“I was the first one to ever arrive.” Tahu Mata explained. “That is why I have lead.”

“Yeah. Makes sense then that I was the last one.” Tahu Stars nodded. “Which is why I should lead now, don’t you think?”

“By vote!”

“NO!”

 

Tahu Mata swung his right arm, smashing the completely golden armoured Tahu Stars in the face. Tahu Stars went flying through the air.

“Stupid!” Tahu Stars snarled. “My sword is bigger! I actually have armour! I’m bulkier! My mask is more useful!”

“I have better creation parts!” Tahu Mata argued. “I have functionality! I’m simply more fun to play with!”

 

“Popularity contest.” Hakann muttered.

Ahkmou, Kazi, and a nearby Krekka nodded in agreement. A moment later, Pridak jumped the giant Krekka, who moaned in confusion and ran straight into a wall. After a couple moments being beaten on by the Barraki, Avak and Hakann pulled Krekka away from them.

“Sit down and behave.” They ordered.

 

Meanwhile, the duel between Tahu Mata and Tahu Stars was drawing to an explosive conclusion. Tahu Mata was shoved away by Tahu Stars, and was instantly piled on by every single Rahkshi set. In response, Lewa Mata, Nidhiki, Gali Nuva, and Pohatu Mistika with his Rockoh T3 jumped straight into them, pulling Tahu Mata out of the mess and hovering in the air.

“Whoever wants a fresh start and a fresh leader, come with me!” Tahu Stars roared. “Whoever does not come has chosen war!”

“Then war it shall be!” Tahu Mata spat, grabbing Nidhiki and shoving him down.

 

Nidhiki crashed down on top of Tahu Stars, snapping two of his legs and one arm. The dark hunter successfully grabbed each golden armour piece and began to limp away.

“Hey! Come back here!” A Turahk yelled.

Nidhiki turned and grabbed the Turahk with his claw. He crushed it a second later, snapping it in half. After another minute, five more Turahk had failed miserably to avenge their brother’s death. Wisely, the other Rahkshi stayed back.

 

“Join the Stars!” A Skrall Stars called.

“Never!” the other Skrall snapped. “You guys suck, you silly clones!”

“Take this!” the Skrall Stars responded, leaping at the larger sets.

The Skrall set laughed as the Skrall Stars landed a foot away.

“Noob.”

 

A moment later, a Skrall Stars was in pieces. Tahu Stars furiously signalled a retreat, and to Tahu Mata’s instant dismay, what looked like half of the remaining bionicles followed him.

“Kazi followed him?!” he exclaimed. “That’s insane!”

Lewa Mata nodded.

“Take us down to the spare room.” Tahu Mata ordered. “Everyone, follow me!”

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“Alright.” Tahu Mata sighed. “Lines have clearly been drawn. We bionicles have been divided in two by the arrival of my... remake. I had hoped that we would all be united, ready to face Hero Factory when they came. We shall have to end this fast.”

“What should we do?” Lesovikk asked.

“First, Lewa Mata and I will decide generals, sets who will lead others into battle.” Tahu Mata announced. “Next chapter, we’ll launch our first strike.”

“Next chapter?” Hydraxon asked in confusion.

 

“Sorry.” Tahu Mata shook his head. “I mean tomorrow.”

“Ah, that makes more sense.” Hydraxon nodded.

“Nidhiki, are you alright?” Tahu Mata called.

“Oh, yeah.” The dark hunter responded. “Just give me a little bit to patch myself up, and I’ll be good.”

“Awesome.” Tahu Mata replied. “Because I’m going to want you out there. You’ve got four legs and a hovering ability; that’ll help a lot.”

 

The Bedroom

 

“Here’s the deal.” Tahu Stars hissed. “Toa Mahri, three Guurahk, four Rahkshi Stars, and seven Lerahk, I want you downstairs now. Ambush them while we can. I’ll follow up with a team of ten Panrahk, and two Turahk. Then, Takanuva Stars will lead the Barraki, Nocturn, the Voya-Nui matoran, and Keetongu in a third party. They’ll be completely lost and out of control. With luck, we can win this by tomorrow.”

Chapter 3 – Battle #1

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

It was chaos, as in every battle. Tahu Mata’s side had been taken completely by surprise by the ambush by Tahu Stars. However, when it’s two small groups against an entire hoard of enemies, you’re pretty much screwed.

 

So, Tahu Stars had sent for backup, and now at least half of his army was attacking, and unfortunately, the battle was, so far, a tie.

 

“Lewa! Kopaka! Let’s go!” Tahu Mata ordered.

The three Toa Mata jumped off of the bed, with Kopaka and Tahu landing easily on the floor below. Lewa had to dodge out of the way of Lewa Mistika’s Axalara on the way down, and crashed down beside them.

“That hurt.” He groaned, standing to his feet. “Good thing none of my limbs are very breakable.”

 

“Hey!” Kopaka Phantoka halted. “You three!”

Kopaka Phantoka whistled, and in an instant, the rest of the Phantoka were behind him.

“Six on three!” Tahu cheered.

A split second later, Gali, Onua, and Pohatu Mata were standing behind them.

“Mata, Combine!” Tahu Mata yelled, even as Tahu, Gali, and Onua Mistika arrived.

 

The 2008 Toa Nuva stood and watched as the six Toa Mata formed into the Toa Kaita Akamai and Wairuha.

“You know, I wish we could do that.” Lewa Phantoka told them.

“Yeah, well all they had to do was release me in the summer and Gali in the winter, and voila.” Pohatu Phantoka replied. “But nope, they had to get rid of combiners in 2006.”

“Silence, fools!” Akamai snapped. “It’s time you foolish traitors learned the errors of your ways!”

 

Akamai kicked Lewa Phantoka away, and the toa of air flew into the wall, were several cracks could be heard.

“Darn it!” Lewa Phantoka complained. “I can’t believe this.”

“Believe it, punk.” Wairuha growled. “It’s about to get rough.”

Wairuha grabbed Lewa Phantoka and threw him into Onua Mistika. The Toa of earth turned around, helped his Phantoka friend up, and the two began to battle Wairuha, while the other four struggled with Akamai.

 

By the Door....

 

Meanwhile, Matau Hordika and Nuju Hordika were battling Nuju Metru and Matau Metru by the door.

“Let. Us. Out.” Nuju Hordika grunted. “So that. We. Can. Attack. Your. Base.”

“You seriously think we’d ever let you do that?” Nuju Metru exclaimed.

“Uh... yes.” Matau Hordika decided.

 

As this exchange was occurring, a huge gust of wind smashed into the door mysteriously, and it began to open. Nuju Hordika leapt forward, tackling Nuju Metru to the ground.

“Sucker!” the ice Hordika exclaimed. “Now you- wait a minute. Crud, I just killed myself.”

 

The door smashed into the two toa of ice a second later. Nuju Hordika was smashed into the wall and shattered, while Nuju Metru was dragged along by the door.

“AUGH! My leg seriously just got snapped by the door! AUGH! It’s so painful!” he cried, crawling away, clearly missing the ball joint from one of his legs.

“What the- dude, his leg just like, snapped!” Matau Metru exclaimed. “That’s gross!”

“Indeed it is.” Matau Hordika sighed.

“Shut up!”

 

“Uh, guys?” Nuju Metru asked. “I’m missing my foot. A little help please?”

“No way!” Matau Hordika exclaimed. “However, I can kill you if you want.”

“Go die.” Nuju Metru muttered.

Matau Metru turned to his Hordika self and grabbed him.

“Uh, what are you doing?” Matau Hordika asked.

 

Matau Metru responded by throwing him into the wall. Matau Hordika shattered exactly like Nuju Hordika, minus the door.

“There we go.” Matau Metru dusted off his hands before turning to Nuju Metru. “Now I’ll take you back to base.”

 

The Kaita Battle....

 

Akamai was slammed into Onua Mistika, shattering back into Tahu, Onua, and Pohatu Mata. The three of them grabbed Onua Mistika, who took several hits from Midak Blasters and the like until his allies realized they were hitting him.

“Now.” Tahu Mata ordered.

The three Toa Mata ripped, and Onua Mistika simultaneously lost both arms and a leg. He fell to the floor, sobbing about life being unfair.

 

Meanwhile, Wairuha had managed to crack every single one of Lewa’s sockets. The Toa Phantoka was now desperately dodging, trying to not get exploded.

“Just get over here and die!” Wairuha exclaimed.

“No!” Lewa Phantoka shot back.

 

A moment later, Pohatu Mata was sent flying into the Phantoka of air. Lewa Phantoka’s arm snapped off, and in the confusion, he was soon destroyed by Wairuha while Pohatu Mata was pummelled by Kopaka and Pohatu Phantoka.

“Pohatu!” Kopaka Mata shouted, separating from Wairuha.

 

The Toa Mata of ice jumped onto Pohatu Phantoka, ripping off his Midak blaster and chucking it at Kopaka Phantoka. Both 2008 toa paused as Kopaka Mata grabbed Pohatu Mata and began dragging him away.

“You’ll never take me alive!” Kopaka exclaimed as the 2008 toa closed in.

“We don’t intend to.” Pohatu Phantoka explained.

A moment later, Kopaka Phantoka’s Midak blaster sent Kopaka Mata flying through the air to crash into the computer desk and break into pieces.

 

“KOPAKA! NOOOOOOOOOOO-” Pohatu Mata was cut off as Pohatu Phantoka used his claws to make his head pop off.

“There.” The two Phantoka smiled, satisfied. “That’s better.”

A moment later, the two of them had been slammed into by the Axalara, ridden by Lewa Mistika.

“You know, I’m a little confused.” Pohatu Phantoka told him. “Why aren’t you with us?”

Lewa Mistika shrugged, ramming them into the wall. Both of Pohatu Phantoka’s arms fell off, and Kopaka Phantoka lost his wings, mask, and blaster. Lewa Mistika pulled away and flew off, leaving the two Phantoka to fall to the ground.

 

Tahu Mata dodged out of the way as Kopaka and Pohatu Phantoka crashed to the ground, narrowly avoiding being crushed. Gali Mata instantly used her hooks to rip off Pohatu Phantoka’s head. She was about to do the same to Kopaka Phantoka when she was grabbed by Gali Mistika, who threw her into Tahu and turned to Tahu Mistika.

“Let’s get out of here.” She suggested, gesturing around. “You and I are the only ones not injured from our group.”

“You’re right.” Tahu Mistika agreed, sighing. “This is so lame. Let’s go. Grab Onua.”

 

Tahu stood to his feet weakly as the two 2008 Nuva ran off, dragging Onua Mistika and Kopaka Phantoka behind them.

“Well, we got two.” He muttered.

“So did them.” Onua Mata responded, pointing to the pieces of both Pohatu and Kopaka Mata.

Tahu Mata sighed.

“Day 1, and already our team has lost two members. At this rate, we won’t last three days.”

 

“Well if you want, I can kill you now and take over.” Tahu Stars said lazily, walking up.

“It’s four on one.” Lewa Mata spat. “We’ll take you on.”

“Actually, I have one of my favourite allies with me.” Tahu Stars replied.

In response, Takanuva Mistika stepped out of the shadows. Lewa Mata gulped.

“As you can see, both of his hands are free to crush you.” Tahu Stars explained.

“This will be fun.” Takanuva Mistika murmured.

 

Tahu Mata signalled, and a moment later, Takanuva Mistika had been jumped by Icarax, Vamprah, and Bitil. The gigantic Toa of light staggered, ripping the makuta off of him. As soon as one was gone, another took its place. Soon, Mutran and Chirox had arrived to join in the fun.

“As you can see, we have you outnumbered again.” Tahu Mata replied.

 

“Fine!” Tahu Stars threw his hands up. “I’ll leave. But I’ll be back.”

“Of course you will.” Tahu Mata snorted. “With or without that terrible Terminator quote.”

As Tahu Stars whistled and his army began filing out of the spare bedroom, Tahu Mata climbed onto the computer desk to overlook his army.

 

“No casualties?” he asked Takanuva.

“None.” Takanuva shook his head. “Except for four deaths; Pohatu Mata, Kopaka Mata, Matau Hordika, and Nuju Hordika.”

Tahu Mata sighed. “Very well.”

 

“Alright.” He announced. “It’s been awhile since anyone has seen Vezon and Fenrakk, or Vezon and Kardas. I want to assemble a team to find them.”

 

“Can I go?” Tahu Nuva asked.

Tahu Mata nodded. “Take the rest of the Toa Nuva as well as Maxilos and Spinax.”

“Yes sir!” Tahu Nuva shouted.

 

Tahu Mata watched as the other five Toa Nuva joined Tahu Nuva, and they approached Maxilos and Spinax before leaving.

“Alright. Now, Takanuva, Takua and Pewku, and Hahli Inika can be on guard duty. The rest of you... well, try and live your daily lives. Whatever those may be.”

Chapter 4 – Tale of the Toa Nuva

 

Somewhere in the Mansion....

 

“So, where exactly are we going, Tahu?” Lewa Nuva asked.

“I dunno.” Tahu Nuva shrugged. “Maxilos, get Spinax on the trail. That’ll make this thing so much easier.”

“How?” Maxilos asked in a robotic voice. “We’re frickin’ toys. How is he supposed to catch a scent if he’s made of plastic?”

Tahu Nuva sighed. “Fine. Whatever.”

 

“You know, I have a feeling this chapter is going to be very boring.” Pohatu Nuva sighed.

“I agree.” Kopaka Nuva nodded.

“Both of you, just shut up.” Tahu Nuva ordered. “We have no idea where-”

 

Tahu Nuva was cut off as ten Guurahk burst out of the shadows, surrounding them. Pohatu Nuva swore loudly, kicking one into the wall and destroying it.

“No swearing!” Tahu Nuva ordered. “Just fight!”

Pohatu Nuva muttered something under his breath, before continuing the battle.

 

Maxilos stabbed one with his staff, tossing it into three others, allowing Tahu and Onua Nuva to destroy them.

“Good work!” Tahu Nuva exclaimed.”Five left!”

“Make that four!” Kopaka grunted, throwing one into Spinax, who tore it to pieces and tried to eat it.

“Cannibalism is a no-no.” Maxilos scolded, slapping the rahi.

Spinax growled before spitting out the pieces.

 

Lewa and Gali made short work of three others, leaving one left.

“Who sent you?!” Tahu Nuva demanded.

“I no tell you.” The Guurahk hissed. “Eleven is always loyal.”

“Obviously not.” Tahu Nuva snorted. “You betrayed Tahu Mata.”

And with that, the final Guurahk was felled.

 

“You know, we just slaughtered ten Rahkshi.” Pohatu Nuva said thoughtfully. “How did we struggle with six in the storyline?”

“I’m not sure.” Gali Nuva shrugged. “Come on, let’s go.”

 

The Bedroom

 

“WHAT?!” Tahu Stars roared. “What do you mean they killed all of them?!”

“Uh, all ten Guurahk are gone, sir.” Hafu and Hewkii muttered.

“Be gone, matoran.” Tahu Stars waved his hand.

Hafu and Hewkii gratefully backed away from the toa of fire’s fury, as Tahu Stars called out for others.

 

“You called?” Umbra and Roodaka asked.

“Yes.” Tahu Stars replied. “I want you to take seven Rahkshi Stars, seven Panrahk, and seven Lerahk and attack the Toa Nuva. While the Rahkshi do that, you two can battle Maxilos.”

“Very well.” Roodaka said smoothly. “We are leaving now.”

 

Later, the Toa Nuva Quest:

 

“Yep. I was right.” Pohatu Nuva sighed. “This is going to be boring.”

“You really have to stop saying that.” Lewa Nuva told him. “Last time you said that, we were ambushed by ten Rahkshi.”

“Why not try twenty-one, then?” a voice called.

 

“Roodaka!” Tahu Nuva exclaimed.

“Of course.” The titan jumped down. “Now!”

Maxilos dove to the side, narrowly avoiding a speeding Umbra, who was jumped by Spinax and sent smashing into three Panrahk, destroying the Rahkshi instantly. Roodaka screamed in fury and grabbed the hound, throwing it into Maxilos. The robot snarled as he dodged Spinax, who rolled to his feet and growled.

 

“Time to die!” Maxilos yelled.

He brought his sword down, only to be blocked by Umbra’s staff. Roodaka blasted him repeatedly with her rhotuka, which bounced off harmlessly. Maxilos grabbed the staff and ripped it out of Umbra’s hands snapping it into three pieces.

“You fool!” Umbra exclaimed.

 

Umbra jumped onto Maxilos’ back as the robot turned to deal with Roodaka, tackling him as Roodaka jammed her claws onto his neck, threatening to kill him.

“Who’s tough now?” she laughed.

“I am.” Maxilos grunted.

A moment later, Spinax slammed into Roodaka, as Maxilos ripped off her claws and threw himself backward, landing on top of Umbra with a crunch. Umbra responded by ripping off one of his shoulder armour pieces.

 

“This the best you’ve got?” Maxilos muttered.

Spinax flew past and smashed into the wall, losing a leg and collapsing to the floor, not getting up. Roodaka picked up her claws as Maxilos lost his other piece of shoulder armour to Umbra.

“We’ve got you now.” Roodaka hissed.

A second later, Lewa Nuva had tackled Roodaka, sending her sprawling with fury. She grabbed the Toa Nuva of air and chucked him into Spinax, where he lay still.

 

“What do you want?” Tahu Nuva questioned, with the rest of the Toa Nuva behind him.

“Why, you dead, of course.” Roodaka twirled her claw. “Obviously we’re with Tahu Stars.”

“We’ve just finished off your Rahkshi.” Tahu Nuva informed her. “How well do you think two titans will do compared to thirty-one Rahkshi?! We have no casualties, fools! It’s your turn to be pummelled!”

 

Maxilos stood, throwing Umbra at Roodaka’s feet. The black female titan set stared at them for a moment, her eyes narrowed in fury; a moment later, she was dragging Umbra away behind her.

“Wow. I thought she was going to fight, not run away like a baby.” Pohatu Nuva chuckled. “That’s not Roodaka.”

“Got you!” a voice yelled with glee.

 

The Toa Nuva were scattered, Gali and Pohatu being sent flying straight into a wall, where they fell to the floor, unconscious.

“Looks like I’m gonna be the one getting a raise!” Perditus chuckled, looking over at them from the Thornatus. “How’s it going, losers?”

“Getting better.” Maxilos growled, grabbing the vehicle.

“What are you- hey, stop that!” Perditus exclaimed.

 

“Leave us.” Maxilos threatened, as several pieces fell off the Thornatus. “Or you and this vehicle will be destroyed.”

“Fine, sheesh.” Perditus muttered, speeding away. “I guess that is enough battling for one chapter.”

 

“Let’s go.” Tahu Nuva ordered, grabbing Lewa and shaking him awake. “We need to keep moving.”

Maxilos snapped Spinax’s leg back on as Gali and Pohatu were woken, and the group continued on their way.

 

The Bedroom

 

Tahu Stars sat, deep in thought. Roodaka and Umbra had been sent away for punishment; losing twenty-one Rahkshi in one attack and being beaten to a pulp themselves was embarrassing.

“Nektann.” He called. “Lead three of the Skrall Stars, and find the Vezon’s yourselves.”

“What if we get killed?” A Skrall Stars asked.

“Don’t.” Tahu Stars ordered. “If he tries to kill you, get back here, and we’ll prepare to convince them another way.”

“Very well.” Nektann nodded. “I’ll leave immediately.”

 

Somewhere in the Basement...

 

“Uh... hello?” Tahu Nuva called.

Spinax growled softly as two huge shapes began to appear out of the shadows.

“Uh... I don’t like this a lot.” Lewa Nuva muttered, backing up.

 

Maxilos’ eyes narrowed, and he prepared his weapon, smacking it into a Vezon as the skakdi leapt out from the shadows at them, riding atop of Fenrakk.

“SCATTER!” Tahu Nuva bellowed.

Chapter 5 – The Art of Vezon(s)

 

The Basement...

 

The Toa Nuva dodged out of the way just in time, while Spinax got chomped by the Fenrakk and was thrown away into Maxilos. Nearby, Nektann and three Skrall Stars were running towards them screaming, trying to escape the even worse terror: Vezon & Kardas.

 

“You know, I really do not like this.” Pohatu Nuva muttered.

“Pohatu!” Tahu Nuva snarled. “Use your mask, and share it with us! We can outmanoeuvre them!”

“I’m made of plastic!” Pohatu Nuva shot back. “How the heck do I use my mask?!”

“You know, I’m starting to wonder why any of the sets can fly.” Onua Nuva said thoughtfully, stepping between them.

 

Tahu Nuva shrugged, a moment before he was yanked away by Vezon’s chains. The Fenrakk spider stomped on his arm, removing it. The Toa Nuva of fire angrily stabbed it in return, prompting it to chomp on him and throw him into Pohatu and Onua.

“Not good.” Pohatu groaned.

 

Meanwhile, the other three Toa Nuva were battling the three Skrall Stars, while Nektann ran in circles nearby screaming as the Kardas dragon stomped after him.

“Take this!” Lewa Nuva prodded with his sword. “And that! And this! And that! And this! And... I sound like a broken record, broken record, broken-”

 

He was cut off by the Stars Skrall smacking him in the face with its sword.

“WILL YOU SHUT UP?” it groaned. “Gosh, you’re so annoying!”

“That’s what I do best, do best, do best.” Lewa Nuva grinned.

“Oh, please no.” the Skrall Stars rolled its eyes.

 

“AAHHHHHHHHHH!”Nektann screamed, running through them.

Kopaka Nuva reached out and clothes lined the Skakdi with his blade, causing Nektann to somersault through the air and go flying towards the other group.

“OH POO.” A Skrall Stars said, turning.

 

A split second later the Skrall Stars vanished, replaced by the head of the Kardas dragon, slowly chewing.

“Uh...” Lewa Nuva trailed off.

“RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!” one of the Skrall Stars screamed.

 

Tahu Nuva was sent flying as Nektann crashed into him, just as the Fenrakk spider stabbed its leg down where he’d been. Instead, it caught the spine of Nektann, who began to weep uncontrollably.

“My time here has been so short!” he cried.

 

“NOW!” Tahu Nuva bellowed, re-attaching his arm.

Pohatu Nuva and Onua Nuva dived into him, and the three became a whirlwind of pieces which whipped into Vezon & Fenrakk, sending both sprawling. Nektann was knocked into the wall, where he lay on the ground still weeping.

 

After a moment, Akamai Nuva had formed out of the tornado of parts.

“Let’s do this!” the combiner snarled, rushing to face its enemy.

Vezon & Fenrakk was sent smashing into a wall, where several pieces broke off. A second later, Vezon & Kardas followed it. Akamai Nuva glanced to its right to spot the two remaining Skrall Stars working together with Gali, Lewa, and Kopaka Nuva.

 

“Form into Wairuha!” Akamai Nuva suggested.

“Nah.” Kopaka shook his head. “I like having my own brain. And I’ve made some new friends.”

At this, both Skrall Stars nodded. Akamai Nuva shrugged.

“Have it your way.” He replied, as Maxilos finally rejoined them, with several pieces added to his armour that looked like they were from Spinax.

 

As they got up, both of the Vezon’s glanced at each other and nodded.

“Vezon! Vezon! Kooloolimpa!” they chanted, raising their arms.

“Uh... what’s going on?” Lewa Nuva questioned, backing up.

 

The Spare Bedroom....

 

“Hey Tahu, what’s that?” Lewa Mata asked.

Tahu Mata glanced up in time to see a huge storm of pieces forming. His eyes went wide.

“Oh crud.”

A couple extra pieces joined the storm, and a second later, it sped out the doorway.

“I will repeat my question.” Lewa Mata decided. “WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!?!”

“Looks like creation parts.” Takanuva approached. “The Vezon’s have finally succeeded in that crazy ‘create a slave’ art of theirs.”

 

The Basement

 

The storm of pieces slammed into the group, tearing into Maxilos’ armour and sending pieces of him flying in all directions. Kopaka Nuva and the Skrall Stars tackled him to the ground before anymore damage could be done. Meanwhile, Lewa Nuva was sent smashing into one of the Vezon’s, and Akamai Nuva rapidly dissolved back into Pohatu, Tahu, and Onua Nuva.

 

“Well, snap.” Pohatu Nuva sighed. “I liked not having to think for myself.”

“WATCH AND WEEP!” The Vezon on Kardas bellowed, tearing Lewa away from him and chucking the Toa Nuva of air into Gali.

 

The storm of parts swarmed together, and formed three beings. One immediately sped off to exit the basement; the Vezon’s frowned at this, until the other two formed, and stood.

“Yes... our plan is nearing completion.” Vezon of Fenrakk’s eyes gleamed.

“Yes... our dear Zeskii was a naughty boy, running away like that...” Vezon of Kardas trailed off. “But don’t worry. I’m sure Flynn and Archmaster will finish you off quite well.”

 

“Oh crud.” Tahu Nuva responded.

 

“Shut up!” Archmaster ordered. “First order of business: you fools die!”

Tahu Nuva dodged out of the way, dragging one of the Skrall Stars with him. Archmaster stabbed down with his spear right where they had been.

“Oh, come on.” Flynn said obnoxiously. “Those Toa are clearly weak at the neck, and at each limb. Attack there.”

 

“If they dodge Flynn, there’s nothing I can do.” Archmaster growled.

“Look, it’s like this.” Flynn said cheerfully.

Flynn suddenly leapt forward must faster than his size should’ve allowed; several gears were clearly the cause, as was a strange electric energy about him.

 

“This one seems a little odd.” Kopaka Nuva murmured, leaning forward.

Flynn tackled the Toa Nuva of ice, yanking off both of his arms and his mask before both Skrall Stars attacked, stabbing into his neck. The titan grabbed one of the Skrall and chucked it behind him, where it crashed into Onua.

 

“No!” Tahu Nuva yelled, starting.

As Pohatu jumped into the fray ahead of him, Tahu found himself being dragged back by Archmaster.

“Come here!” the creation said shortly, pulling Lewa as well.

“Oh poo.” Lewa Nuva muttered.

 

Tahu Nuva turned and desperately stabbed into Archmaster’s arm. The creation glanced down and shrugged before grabbing and slamming Tahu Nuva into the wall. The Toa Nuva of fire’s mask flew off, as did both of his arms. Lewa Nuva prevented further damage by tackling Archmaster, smashing the creation into the wall next.

“Ouch.” Archmaster groaned, several orange and brown pieces popping off of him. “Darn it!”

 

Meanwhile, Flynn had taken out Kopaka and a Skrall Stars with ease, and was currently duelling the remaining three Toa Nuva and the last Skrall Stars with one hand, attempting to read a poster on the wall behind him at the same time.

“This is both humiliating and infuriating.” Pohatu Nuva muttered. “I’d say combine, but we can’t.”

“Why even mention it?” Onua grunted.

Pohatu shrugged, just before he was kicked by Flynn right into a helpless Tahu Nuva.

 

“Tahu!” Pohatu gasped, turning. “No!”

 

The Spare Bedroom...

 

Tahu Mata stood as several bionicles screamed and ran for their lives as a strange being appeared.

“You!” Tahu Mata yelled. “Who are you?!”

The being appeared to be a combination of the late Nuju Hordika, Matau Hordika, Pohatu Mata, and Kopaka Mata.

 

“I am Zeskii.” The figure announced.

“Are you a Zesk?” Whenua Hordika asked.

“Yes. I am definitely a Zesk.” The being said sarcastically. “That is why I am clearly a Toa.”

“Good grief.” Whenua Hordika muttered, turning away.

 

“What do you want?” Tahu Mata questioned.

“I was created by the Great Vezon’s.” Zeskii told him. “However, they are using my two brothers to kill your Toa Nuva and their allies. I myself managed to escape their influence.”

“How?”

“Guest Star powers. Don’t ask me to explain them. All I can say is, if you leave the Toa Nuva down there alone without help, because of my brother’s guest star powers, the Toa Nuva are all going to die.”

 

Tahu Mata groaned.

“I think it’s safe to say that the Vezon’s are not going to help us.” Lewa Mistika told him, approaching.

Tahu Mata nodded.

“Antroz!” he called.

 

The Phantoka Antroz stepped out of the shadows, and the Mistika Antroz with the Jetrax T6 flew up.

“Yeah?” they both asked.

“Both of you go down to the basement and aid the Nuva.” Tahu Mata ordered. “Take Vakama and Nokama Hordika, and Lewa Mata can go with you as well. Use the Jetrax.”

Both makuta nodded, and whistled. Lewa Mata stepped away from Tahu, as both Vakama and Nokama Hordika jumped off of the computer desk to join the team.

 

“Alright. Go!” Tahu Mata ordered. “And hurry!”

Chapter 6 – The Battle of the Basement

 

The Basement

 

Pohatu and Tahu Nuva ducked out of the way of the Fenrakk Spider, only to be kicked into Archmaster by Kardas.

“There you are!” the Creation growled. “I was looking for you.”

“Yeah, we were avoiding you.” Pohatu confessed, shrugging. “Kinda wanted to post pone your destruction.”

“MY destruction?!” Archmaster chuckled. “Very funny.”

 

Before Pohatu could react, Archmaster had grabbed him and chucked him into a wall. He was helped up by Kopaka Nuva and the Skrall Stars, while Tahu was pummelled by the guest star.

“This is so painful!” the Toa Nuva of fire cried.

Archmaster responded by ripping off one of his legs and beating him with it.

“Don’t even think about saying it.” Kopaka warned.

Pohatu glared at him, before running over and kicking Archmaster in the face. The creation furiously smashed the Toa Nuva of stone into Pohatu. Neither got up.

 

“Maybe we should go get help....” one of the Skrall Stars trailed off.

“Yeah, and leave them for dead!” the other exclaimed. “On the upside, we’d live.”

“No.” Kopaka told them. “We stay.”

 

“Stay, huh?” Mrepic grinned, stepping over. “Nice. Let’s party!”

Kopaka lunged at Mrepic, who easily used his momentum to send him crashing to the floor, still grinning.

“You’re like a frigging skakdi!” Kopaka spat. “Do you ever stop smiling?!”

Mrepic frowned. “That was very unkind.”

“Yeah, whatever.” Kopaka muttered, dusting himself off and standing.

Mrepic responded by kicking him into the Skrall Stars, sending all three crashing into the wall. When one Skrall Stars began to get up, Mrepic stomped on it, before turning to help Archmaster with the remaining three Toa Nuva.

 

“Well, this ought to be fun.” Lewa Nuva said sarcastically.

“Yeah. Not every day you turn into spare parts.” Onua replied.

“Both of you shut up.” Gali Nuva ordered. “We’ll make it.”

“Yeah, if we leave the others behind.” Lewa Nuva told her. “So in other words, we’re dead.”

“Indeed you are.” Archmaster agreed.

 

“Hey! Pick on someone your own size!” a voice yelled.

Mrepic and Archmaster turned to see a toa running straight for them.

“That... isn’t any toa I know.” Lewa Nuva said, confused.

“Zeskii to the rescue!” the newcomer yelled, crashing into Mrepic. “Take this!”

“You’re supposed to obey us!” the Vezon on Kardas shrieked. “What the heck?!”

 

Zeskii ignored him, dodging away into Archmaster as the Jetrax T6 slammed into Mrepic, jamming the creation to the wall.

“Huzzah! We are saved!” Lewa Nuva cried.

Archmaster dove at the Toa Nuva of air with Zeskii still hitting him, only to be stopped as both Skrall Stars jumped him, shoving him to the ground.

 

“I think it’s time the battle turned in our favour completely.” Kopaka Nuva suggested, heading towards them.

“I agree.” Tahu Nuva muttered. “Let’s- GET OFF OF ME!”

Pohatu Nuva barrelled into the Kardas Dragon, toppling it and removing Tahu Nuva from its grasp.

“Take that.” The Toa Nuva of stone taunted.

 

“Come on!” it was Lewa Mata. “We need to get out of here!”

“No, we need to make sure these things learn their lesson.” Vakama Hordika muttered, heading for Fenrakk. “Come on, Nokama.”

“Nah, that dragon looks better.” Nokama shook her head.

 

Both Hordika lunged at their respective targets. The Vezons desperately tried to get away, but being chained to their mounts halted them. As the two skakdi were kept busy, Lewa Mata, the Skrall Stars, and the Toa Nuva turned to the creations.

 

“Take this! And this! And that! And this! Take that too! And how about this? You suck! Now this! And that! And that! And this!” Zeskii was yelling, as Archmaster failed to shake him off.

“This is going well.” A Skrall Stars said hopefully.

As it said that, Mrepic managed to grab the Jetrax and whip it into a support beam attached to the ceiling. As the vehicle flew through the air, Antroz Phantoka leapt at Mrepic, ripping several pieces off of the giant.

 

The Jetrax smashed into the pole, and one wing broke off, while several other pieces were sent flying as well. It fell to the floor with a crash, further destroying it.

“Darn it.” Antroz Mistika muttered. “Dead.”

Antroz Phantoka was whipped beside him, while Archmaster succeeded in throwing off Zeskii.

 

“Now, where were we?” Mrepic grinned.

“Oh, just a timed fire explosion.” Tahu Nuva grinned.

“Uh... what?” Everyone turned to him.

“I’ll tell you if Archmaster and Mrepic stand right beside each other.” Tahu Nuva replied.

“This sounds suspicious, but whatever.” Mrepic rolled his eyes.

“Well, a timed fire explosion is something I can do.” Tahu Nuva explained.

 

“No it’s not!” Pohatu Nuva exclaimed. “We’re made of plastic!”

“So?”

“So, how on earth would you-”

BOOM.

 

They were all sent flying backwards as Mrepic exploded, his parts flying everywhere. Next to him, Archmaster was also destroyed by the blast. The Jetrax was sent spinning repeatedly through the air before crashing into the wall, where it also exploded, sending Antroz Mistika flying to the ground on his own, the Jetrax no longer existent.

“DIMWITS!” the Makuta screamed.

A second later, he was also pieces.

“Argh, team kill.” Tahu Nuva groaned.

 

Zeskii caught Antroz Phantoka and took the brute force of the blast, several pieces of armour breaking off.

“Lucky you.” The creation grunted.

Antroz Phantoka nodded.

 

As the explosion ended, the group re-organized and glanced around the basement, which was now littered with pieces.

“AAAAAAAH!” Vakama Hordika cried, flying towards them.

Lewa Nuva and the two Skrall Stars rushed forward to catch him, while Kopaka and Tahu caught Nokama.

 

“YOU HAVE ANGERED US.” Both Vezons thundered. “AND WHEN YOU ANGER THE VEZONS, YOU DIE A HORRIBLY PAINFUL DEATH. AND WHEN YOU DEFEAT THAT HORRIBLY PAINFUL DEATH, YOU THEN MUST SUFFER AN EVEN MORE HORRIBLY PAINFUL DEATH. DIE.”

Onua Nuva gulped, and Antroz Phantoka took a step back.

 

“Hum... hum... hum de doodle... hum... hum....” the Vezons both chanted.

The pieces in the basement began to swirl together once more, this time, forming one figure.

“Oh... snap.” Lewa Nuva muttered.

“This doesn’t look fun.” Antroz Phantoka groaned.

“Yeah, I’m gonna be at the back if you guys want me....” Vakama Hordika chuckled nervously.

 

“Hum, hum, hum, new creation, hum, hum, hum!” The Vezons laughed maniacally. “Say hello to your new painful death, fools! Say hello to Biobeast99!”

“Ninety-nine?” Tahu Nuva questioned.

“No, not ninety-nine!” A Vezon face palmed. “99!”

“They’re the same thing.” Gali Nuva pointed out.

“Shut up already!” the Vezon moaned. “Gosh!”

 

“Besides, 99?” Tahu Nuva continued. “What about the first 98?”

“Oh, shut up.” The Vezon growled.

“Don’t make fun of my name.” Biobeast99 muttered. “It’s not nice-kind.”

“That’s some horrid treespeak there, bud.” Lewa Nuva grinned. “Might want to work on that.”

“Oh, be quiet-silent.” Biobeast99 sighed. “And let me destroy you.”

 

Biobeast99 waved his arm, and the Jetrax T6 pieces swirled together; a moment later, the Destral Cycle had been formed, and Biobeast99 had somehow managed to begin riding it.

“Let’s do this!” the creation exclaimed.

Tahu and Pohatu Nuva were flipped into the air by the bike, where the Vezons caught them, and began to duel the two of them.

 

Meanwhile, Gali, Kopaka, and Lewa Nuva glanced at each other.

“TRANSFORM!” Kopaka Nuva yelled.

The three of them leapt into each other, their pieces mixing and matching, until Wairuha Nuva stood in their place.

“About time I entered this thing.” He muttered, grabbing the bike.

Wairuha Nuva tossed the bike into the air, leaving Biobeast99 to skid across the floor. As he got to his feet, Biobeast99 shoved Nokama Hordika under the bike, which crushed her.

 

“YOU SON OF A-”

Vakama Hordika was cut off as Biobeast99 stomped on him, snapping him into several pieces.

“How am I still alive...?” Vakama moaned.

“I don’t know, but you won’t be for long.” Biobeast99 hissed.

Wairuha entered the fray, crashing into Biobeast99 as Zeskii leapt on top of him.

“Get off!” Biobeast99 exclaimed, grabbing Zeskii by the throat. “Traitor.”

“No traitor.” Zeskii thrashed. “Just smart.”

 

Biobeast99’s eyes narrowed, and he twisted Zeskii’s head off. He then let the creation fall to the floor with a thud. Wairuha frowned, frustrated, and then grabbed Biobeast99’s arm and used it to smash him into a wall. The Skrall Stars then leapt up, using their swords to stab the titan in the eyes.

 

Tahu Nuva and Pohatu Nuva had managed to lure the Vezons over to the other battle with the help of Onua, and they were now in danger of being crushed by one of the four titans.

“Are you sure this is smart?” Pohatu asked.

“Oh, yeah.” Tahu replied. “Lewa Mata and Antroz Phantoka know what they’re supposed to do.”

 

A split second later, Lewa Mata could be seen flying through the air with a scream of terror, before landing on top of the Kardas Dragon and causing it to topple onto the Fenrakk.

“You fool!” the Vezon shrieked. “Now you WILL die!”

The Vezon stabbed with his spear, and Tahu Nuva grabbed him, snapping the chain and causing the skakdi to fly straight into Biobeast99, who upon coming into contact with the spear gagged and sagged to the ground, slowly falling apart.

 

“There.” Tahu Nuva said, satisfied. “Both Vezons unconscious, along with their beasts, and all those creations destroyed.”

“Well, the one might’ve been nice to keep.” Onua Nuva told him. “But yeah, the rest is good.”

“Uh, hello?” Vakama Hordika said weakly. “I’m kinda stuck here... I have no arms or legs.”

“This is going to take awhile.” Lewa Mata sighed.

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“What’s this?” Tahu Stars laughed. “No defences? No preparation? Several of your troops missing on some silly quest, while others still are being cared for? You don’t seem very prepared.”

“When you’ve got my army, you don’t need to be.” Tahu Mata bluffed.

“Uh, yeah, you do.” Tahu Stars shot back. “I have almost my entire army here, fool!”

“You’re bluffing.”

“Darn it!”

 

“Uh, sir?” Gresh Stars asked. “Why don’t we just attack?”

“Great idea.”

“Crud.” Tahu Mata muttered.

Chapter 7 – Replacement

 

The Bedroom, During the Vezon Battle:

 

Nuju Metru leaned against the wall, still chatting with Matau.

“You know, you’d think my foot would be fixed by now.” He muttered.

“Yeah.” Matau Metru agreed. “Too bad.”

 

“It’s here!” Kazi shouted.

“What’s here?” Nuju asked, turning to Matau.

“Oh, your new leg.” Matau shrugged. “And your new head. And your new body... and your other new leg, and your new arms....”

“But I don’t NEED any of those!” Nuju Metru exclaimed.

“It’s for you, dimwit.” Pridak snapped as he walked by. “You’re being replaced. You’re too slow with one leg.”

 

“I am n- well, I am, but, come on!” Nuju Metru protested.

Tahu Stars stepped forward, twisted the lid off of the canister, and peeked inside.

“EBay was a little too efficient.” He said suspiciously. “It was supposed to take a week.”

“Yeah, believe it or not, I’m used, not brand new.” Another Nuju Metru stepped out. “So, who am I here to replace?”

 

“What happened to his chest armour?” The first Nuju Metru whispered.

“I heard that.” Nuju v2 turned to him.

“That’s who you’re replacing.” Tahu Stars informed him. “Looks like you’ll need his chest armour.”

“What the heck happened to my... I mean, his foot?!” Nuju v2 exclaimed.

“Don’t ask.” Nuju Metru muttered.

“A door opened on top of him.” Matau Metru replied. “It was kinda gruesome.”

 

“How was it gruesome?!” Nuju Metru turned to him. “There wasn’t any blood!”

“Yeah, broken parts make me squeamish.” Matau Metru confessed. “Should’ve told that before.”

“Anyway, if you’ll just hand over your chest armour, everything will be great.” Tahu Stars interrupted, stepping towards Nuju Metru.

 

“No way, you’re not!” Nuju Metru cried. “I am not being turned into creation parts!”

“Nobody said THAT.” Matau Metru replied with a look of confusion. “He just needs your armour.”

“Now I see why I didn’t know about this until now.” Nuju Metru muttered, backing away. “Hey, let me go!”

 

“No can do, son.” Sidorak replied as he grabbed Nuju Metru by the mask. “Now, there we go. See, that wasn’t so bad!”

“AUGH! WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT FOR?! WHAT THE-” Nuju Metru screamed.

“Knock him out, before we have to deal with the word filter.” Tahu Stars snapped.

Sidorak turned and slammed Nuju Metru into the wall. The Toa Metru of ice promptly fell silent, and fell limp. Matau Metru sniffled, turning and walking away.

 

“It’s just not the same anymore....” The Toa Metru of air muttered as he left the group.

“Alright.” Tahu Stars clapped his hands together. “Ready for action, Nuju 2?”

“Yes, sir.” Nuju Metru v2 responded, snapping Nuju Metru’s chest plate on. “What are you gonna do with him?”

“Oh, nothing that bad.” Tahu Stars shrugged as Sidorak left them, dragging Nuju Metru behind him. “Sidorak’s nice; he’ll make him comfortable.”

 

“Alright then, son.” Sidorak grunted, pulling Nuju Metru onto the window sill with him. “Enjoy your vacation; it’s permanent.”

Sidorak turned and pulled the window open, miraculously only losing one arm in the process. With his remaining arm, he tossed Nuju Metru out the window into the snow.

“Have fun, son!” he yelled. “Go to Wal-Mart. They probably have an opening. Or McDonalds! Actually, any fast food restaurant for that matter. They’re always hiring. Because they suck.”

 

Still mumbling under his breath, Sidorak shoved the window closed, causing his other arm to pop off.

“Argh.” He groaned. “Now how am I supposed to get down?”

He glanced down, shrugged, and then jumped. A second later, a crash could be heard, and pieces of Sidorak went flying in all directions.

 

Currently; The Spare Bedroom:

 

“So, how’s life?” Nuju v2 asked Matau Metru, smacking Dekar away with his weapon.

“Ah, as normal as it can be.” Matau Metru shrugged, slicing through a Nui-Rama. “you know, what with the civil war and all.”

“Yeah.” Nuju v2 replied.

“You remember the time we climbed onto the ceiling fan in the bedroom, and had to jump down?” Matau Metru asked.

 

“Uh... no?” Nuju v2 guessed.

“WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU?!” Matau Metru screamed. “You said it was the most frightening experience in your life!”

“I think you’re forgetting something.” Nuju v2 told him. “I’m the replacement Nuju; when I was bought, I was built, and then promptly stuffed into my canister, until the day you guys bought me. Then my previous owner took off my chest plate and sent me off to you.”

“You know, you just haven’t been the same since that other Nuju arrived.” Matau Metru sighed, kicking a now furious Dekar away.

 

“Seriously, did you listen to a word I just said?” Nuju v2 asked.

“No. Entire paragraphs aren’t my thing.” Matau Metru responded.

“I am the replacement.” Nuju v2 sighed. “Good grief; didn’t you hear? Sidorak threw the other one out the window.”

“Then I shall kill him.” Matau growled.

“He’s already dead. Fell off the window sill.”

“Serves him right.”

 

Nuju v2 remained silent for a little while, repeatedly slamming Dekar into the wall, and thinking.

“Matau?” he started.

“Yeah?”

“Have you ever thought of taking over all the other bionicles?”

 

Matau turned and smacked Nuju v2 into the wall, knocking him out.

“Not really, what with this civil war going on and all.” He said sarcastically. “You really haven’t been the same since that other Nuju arrived....”

 

With that, Mata Metru shoved Dekar away once more. Dodging the special edition Jetrax T6 that had barrelled towards him, he walked away to go battle someone more exciting that a matoran.

“Good riddance.”

Chapter 8 {Flash Freeze}

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“You know, these constant battles are starting to get a little repetitive.” Pohatu Nuva sighed as they arrived at the Spare Bedroom to find it in chaos. “I mean, can’t we have a little break?”

“Apparently not.” Lewa Mata shrugged. “Say, didn’t Maxilos and Spinax go with you guys?”

“Yeah, they kinda disappeared.” Lewa Nuva shrugged. “Well, fighting time!”

 

The six Toa Nuva leapt into the fray, instantly clashing with several Vorahk and Kurahk.

“Let’s party!” Vakama Hordika exclaimed.

 

Meanwhile, Tahu Mata and Tahu Stars were duelling on the bed.

“This is the last attack!” Tahu Stars screeched. “Then this house shall be mine!”

“Actually, it’s a mansion.” Tahu Mata told him. “And, no. Trust me; I’m clearly going to end up winning.”

 

“Hey guys!” Nuju v2 exclaimed, scrambling up. “How’s it going?”

“Get back! He’s mine!” Tahu Stars scowled.

“I’m nobody’s.” Tahu Mata retorted, shoving the Stars Toa down.

 

“Finally!” Nuju v2 grinned. “I can kill you and take your army, Tahu!”

“Which one of us are you talking about?” Tahu Mata asked.

“Oh, Tahu Stars.” Nuju v2 told him. “You can leave.”

“Nah.”

 

“First, I shall destroy you!” Nuju v2 exclaimed. “Then I shall have your army, and I will kill the other Tahu! And then, I can destroy the universe! Hahaha!”

“Yeah, that’s not happening.” Tahu Stars told him. “Hey Pridak. Get yourself a team of four together, and go get us back our old Nuju Metru. This guy stinks.”

“I do not stink!”

“It was a figure of speech.”

“A bad one at that, then.” Nuju v2 pouted.

 

“Yes sir.” Pridak said, walking by.

 

Later On....

 

“Alright peeps, so here’s the deal.” Pridak announced.

“Peeps?”  Irnakk questioned, stepping forward. “I rather like to think of myself as a ‘Hulk’, not a ‘Peep’.”

Pridak gulped and took a step back before continuing.

 

“Uh, anyways, like I was saying, Tahu Stars wants us to find the old Nuju Metru.” He said, grinning nervously. “And out of you, two are not coming.”

“Well, boo.” Mantax muttered.

“So, who wants to come?” Pridak asked.

“If you don’t call me a Peep, then I’m in.” Irnakk rumbled.

 

“You know, I will come.” Kazi decided. “But I’m not a Peep either.”

“Dude, you’re a small set.” Mantax patted the Ko-Matoran on the head. “I think we have the right to call you a Peep.”

Kazi glared at him; this caused Pridak to smile happily.

 

“Mantax, you can come as well!” he exclaimed, as the other sets grumbled and walked away.

“I am not going a trip with Mantax!” Kazi protested.

“Dude, you’re not getting out of this one.” Mantax told the Ko-Matoran, grabbing him with his caw. “Not when I can pick you up with one hand.”

 

“And you’re both going to shut up, because I can pick up all three of you in one hand.” Irnakk warned, lifting Mantax off the ground. “Keep that in mind.”

Mantax and Kazi nodded furiously, and when placed back on the ground, resorted to poking each other in the most painful places possible instead.

 

“Now, the question is, how do we get outside?” Pridak said to himself.

Irnakk stepped forward, and jumped onto the window sill. He reached back, and then punched right through the window, shattering it.

“DUDE!” Mantax exclaimed. “How did you do that?!”

 

“HELP ME!” Kazi exclaimed, grabbing onto Mantax’s tail. “IT’S TOO STRONG!”

Irnakk glared down at the three other sets with distaste as they struggled against the howling with blowing through the spare bedroom; all over the room, Bionicles were being flattened by the gail.

 

“This is just sad.” He shook his head.

Irnakk reached down and grabbed Pridak by the face, stuffing the Barraki outside, where he was soon followed by Mantax and Kazi.

 

“It’s cold out here!” Kazi said. “Is it... snowing? Really hard?”

“Yes, it appears so.” Pridak observed. “Why?”

He glanced around.

 

“Uh, where did Kazi go?”

“I dunno! He blends in with the snow!” Mantax exclaimed. “Heck, Irnakk and I blend in with the snow now!”

“No I don’t.” Irnakk said, shaking the snow off of himself.

 

Mantax rolled his eyes. “Whatever.”

“KAZI!” Pridak bellowed.

“He’s here.” Irnakk responded, lunging forward into a pile of snow.

 

“Finally!” Kazi gasped. “Good grief, it’s freezing out here! Look, I’m turning blue!”

“Those are blue pieces.” Mantax pointed out.

“Shut up, it’s still freezing.”Kazi whined. “We’re never going to find Nuju out here!”

“Never going to find me where?” a voice asked weakly.

 

“Nuju?! Is that you?!” Pridak exclaimed, leaping forward.

“Yeah. Get in here, I built a network of caves. It’s actually kind of warm.” The Toa Metru of ice replied. “Hurry up, before we’re buried.”

“Uh, you’re under the snow when it’s snowing. Is that a smart idea?” Mantax questioned.

“Sure it is!” Nuju Metru beamed. “It’ll never-”

 

At that moment, the cave collapsed on top of Nuju, leaving only part of his arm, his hand, and his head above the snow.

“Oh, come on!” Kazi cried. “This is gonna take forever!”

“Stop complaining.” Irnakk ordered. “I hate it when people complain.”

Tahu vs. Tahu

Season 1 [Civil War]

Chapter 9 {Disturbing Abilities}

Comedy Developer [Freelancer iBrow]

 

Outside the Spare Bedroom Window:

 

“PULL!” Mantax screeched. “We can do this!”

“Okay seriously, I think he’s stuck in there.” Kazi retorted. “He’s stuck; he must be frozen.”

“There’s no way he froze in just a minute.” Mantax replied. “Hey! My arm snapped! That’s not cool!”

“Yeah, he’s frozen.” Pridak sighed. “If we’re snapping, then we’ll have to wait until the thaw.”

 

“No! Don’t wait until the thaw, dimwits!” Nuju Metru cried. “I’m seriously still awake! You can’t leave me like this!”

“Oh, will you all just SHUT UP.” Irnakk groaned.

Everyone fell silent a moment later.

 

“Now move.” Irnakk growled.

The two Barraki and Kazi scuttled out of the way as fast as they could as Irnakk stepped up in front of Nuju Metru.

“You know, I’m not so sure about this.” The Toa Metru of ice said nervously. “You seem... scary.”

“I’m supposed to.”

 

The Spare Bedroom:

 

“So, what should we do with you?” Tahu Stars asked.

“First, you can get out of here.” Tahu Mata suggested. “Then, hold his trial in your own bedroom.”

“I don’t think so.” Tahu Stars shrugged. “I’ll stay here, in return for not attacking you for the next few months.”

 

“Now we’re getting somewhere.” Tahu Mata rolled his eyes.

“Alright then; Brutaka, get over here.” Tahu Stars ordered.

“What are you gonna do?” Nuju v2 asked.

 

“I’m skipping the trial and just preparing to toss you out the window.” Tahu Stars told him. “I should’ve known used bionicles are no good.”

“That was... unkind.” Tahu Mata told him.

“I don’t care.” Tahu Stars shrugged.

 

Brutaka approached, and grabbed the protesting Nuju v2 as a shout rang from across the room.

“We got him!” Pridak called.

Brutaka responded by whipping Nuju v2 over into the window with a crunch.

 

“Now, if you’ll excuse me...” Nuju Metru trailed off, grabbing Nuju v2’s left leg and chest armour. “I’ll need these to be fully efficient.”

Once the pieces had been snapped on, Irnakk took Nuju v2 apart piece by piece.

 

“Two questions;” Kazi began. “One: Why are you doing that? And two: Why is he not screaming?”

“One: I’m using him to fix the window.” Irnakk replied. “Two: he’s unconscious, dimwit.”

“Dude, how are you supposed to fix the window with a pile of broken pieces?” Mantax questioned.

 

Irnakk glared at him; the Barraki backed away quickly, tripping over Dekar and falling to the floor.

“I’m alive!”

“No one cares!” Pridak yelled.

A moment later, the window had been fixed, framed with the pieces of Nuju v2.

“I have to say, that looks kinda creepy.” Nuju Metru said.

 

“Awe, come on!” Umbra exclaimed. “You’re seriously telling me that Sidorak died for absolutely no reason!”

“Yes. Now shut up.” Makuta replied, stabbing Umbra with his staff.

 

Umbra retaliated by smacking Makuta’s head with his staff; Makuta simply shrugged and whistled; a second later, Takutanuva stepped out of the shadows towards Umbra.

“Ooh, you’re in trouble!” Takanuva grinned.

 

“SOMEBODY HELP ME!” Umbra screamed.

A second later, Takutanuva had swallowed Umbra whole; the titan’s parts instantly re-organized themselves onto the combiner, making him even more imposing than before.

“I wouldn’t mind knowing where he got those powers.” Irnakk rumbled thoughtfully.

“You and these titans.” Kazi muttered. “You always have such strange and awesome powers.”

Chapter 10 {These Guys Suck at Fighting}

 

The Spare Bedroom:

 

Tahu Mata sighed as Tahu Stars approached him.

 

“It’s been a few months.” Tahu Stars said. “And because there was no fighting, and no interacting, those few months were seriously boring. So now I’m attacking you.”

“Yeah, just hurry up.” Tahu Mata sighed. “I’ll finally regain control, and I’ll do it diplomatically, like before.”

“I’m diplomatic!” Tahu Stars protested.

Tahu Mata snorted. “Right.”

 

Tahu Stars frowned at him before charging forward, drawing his sword as he did so. Tahu Mata swung upwards, using his gears to his advantage as he smacked Tahu Stars across the floor.

“Let’s finish this.” Tahu Mata told his enemy.

 

Before Tahu Stars could attack again, Tahu Mata grabbed onto the Axalara as it flew by, flying off into the air. Tahu Stars frowned again before catching a ride on the Thornatus.

 

By the Door

 

Maxilos blocked Takanuva Mistika’s attack with his staff as Spinax leapt at the giant Toa, ripping several pieces off. Takanuva Mistika ripped the energy hound off of him, tearing Spinax’s spine off in the process. Maxilos snarled, stabbing at Takanuva angrily, only to find that the other titan had used his staff to lift Maxilos into the air.

 

“Let me down!” the robot exclaimed, trying to pry the staff from his neck.

“Nah.” Takanuva Mistika replied, kicking Spinax’s head off of the energy hound’s body. “I heard about what you did to Umbra and those Rahkshi. You need to learn what that feels like.”

 

“Nah.” Maxilos responded.

With that, the robot kicked Takanuva in the face, sending the giant Toa staggering back, dropping Maxilos to the ground.

 

However, as he landed, Maxilos found himself slammed into the wall by Roodaka.

“You didn’t think I’d let you die without getting my revenge, did you?!” she hissed. “Never!”

Maxilos shrugged, head-butting Roodaka while swiping his leg at hers, tripping her. He snatched his staff and blocked Takanuva’s attack just in time, while dodging away from the Midak spheres.

 

“Catch me if you can!” he called.

Roodaka snarled, sending several Rhotuka at him. Maxilos chuckled, catching several of them and tossing them over his shoulder. Takanuva grabbed her and threw her at the startled Maxilos, who was smashed into the dresser, several pieces of his armour falling to the floor.

 

“We caught you.” Roodaka informed him, stabbing his neck with her claw. “So now what?”

Takanuva approached.

“Let’s tear him apart slowly, piece by piece.” He suggested.

Roodaka’s eyes narrowed in anticipation.

 

The Bed

 

Tahu Mata jumped down to the bed. He made a perfect landing, only for Tahu Stars to dive straight into him, sending both of them flying across the bed to land in a heap.

“Work on your landing skills!” Tahu Mata snapped.

“Actually, I need to work on my diving skills.” Tahu Stars groaned. “All four of my limbs got moved to face the wrong way.”

 

Tahu Mata cringed, taking in a sharp breath.

“Ouch.” He said. “I feel for you, man. That is painful. And trust me, when your arms are attached to gears, it happens a lot.”

“Then why aren’t you in pain?!” Tahu Stars said incredulously.

Tahu Mata glanced at him.

“Dude, I’ve had ten years to get used to it.” He replied. “Ten very long years. You learn to ignore it.”

“I see.” Tahu Stars nodded.

 

Suddenly, without warning, Tahu Mata tackled him as he was standing, sending him crashing into the wall.

“Augh!” he cried. “Hey, come on! There’s enough space to fall down here!”

“That’s your problem.” Tahu Mata grunted. “What do you want me to do?”

“How about we just agree that I should be leader?” Tahu Stars suggested.

 

“How about we just agree that you both suck?!” a voice called out.

Tahu Mata paused, allowing Tahu Stars to nearly slip right through the gap. The Stars Toa climbed out, muttering about bad placement before seeing who had spoken.

“Oh, for the love of Karzahni!” Tahu Mata exclaimed. “Come on!”

 

The Door

 

Maxilos desperately shoved Roodaka away, only to be caught in the grip of Takanuva, who threw him to the ground.

“Say goodbye, robot!” Takanuva sneered.

 

A split second later, a different staff had stabbed through the giant Toa, knocking off most of his body armour; the basic skeleton was still there, but too weak to support Takanuva, as he collapsed a moment later. In his place stood a hulking black figure, with small splashes of electric blue. He had Roodaka squirming in his other hand. Maxilos groaned.

 

“I thought you could use some help.” The figure said casually. “That white guy is nearly dead; he won’t bother you anymore. As for this one....”

The figure turned his head to face Roodaka.

“I have no further need for you.” He continued.

 

Roodaka growled angrily; a second later, the figure slammed her into the wall with astonishing strength and accuracy, causing Roodaka to explode into a shower of parts.

“You know, I find it strange that the white one ended up in better condition, don’t you?” the figure said thoughtfully.

 

Maxilos gulped, and nodded.

“Yeah.”

“Anyway.” The figure turned back to him. “I’m glad I could help. Unfortunately, I hate all of you, so you’re next.”

Maxilos grabbed his staff and stood to his feet, replacing his armour. Like it would do him any good.

 

The Bed

 

Tahu Mata dodged the dual-flame blade that had been thrust at him, smacking his sword into the newcomer’s back; Tahu Stars, meanwhile, tackled him from the side, but was shaken off easily.

“Come on, seriously!” the newcomer exclaimed. “You guys are such wimps!”

The figure was mainly the same red as both of the Tahu’s, with Keetorange limbs and a terribly clashing black body.

 

“We aren’t wimps.” Tahu Stars said furiously, striking again.

An instant later, Tahu Stars was flung to land beside Tahu Mata.

“Seriously.” The newcomer laughed. “Can’t you do better?”

 

Tahu Mata and Tahu Stars responded by rushing forward, swinging their swords and fists at the newcomer. The three fiercely duelled for a few moments before both of the Tahu’s were sent crashing into the wall once more.

 

“You know, you guys really suck at this fighting thing.” The newcomer told them. “I don’t even want to waste my time on you anymore.”

In a flash, the newcomer dropped his weapon, grabbing both Tahu’s and yanking them over his shoulders, flinging them off the bed.

 

The Door

 

Maxilos was beaten; and still the black figure was throwing him repeatedly into the wall. With a supreme amount of will (and the happy fact that the kid had needed to glue several of his parts on to keep them from falling off), Maxilos had managed to survive; however, this was infuriating the black figure, and Maxilos had long since calculated that this would be the last throw.

 

Or at least, it would’ve been, had both the Tahu’s not crash landed on top of the figure several seconds before it occurred.

“Oh, thank-you!” Tahu Stars exclaimed. “I thought I was a goner!”

“You ARE a goner.” The figure replied, grabbing him by the throat.

“Aw, come on!” Tahu Stars cried.

 

Maxilos grabbed his staff and whipped it at the figure, causing him to drop Tahu Stars, who scrambled away a second later. Tahu Mata took the opportunity to stab him in the chest before also backing away.

“I’ll just let you know one thing.” The figure warned. “We’re different lines. Hero Factory doesn’t like you, and we’re stronger then you. You’ve got a week to live; then, we slaughter you.”

 

With that, the black figure let out a roar; several figures came rushing towards him, and he turned to Maxilos, Tahu Mata, and Tahu Stars one last time.

“You’ve been warned. Von Nebula’s wrath is something to be feared.” He rasped.

“Who’s Von Nebula?” Tahu Stars called.

The black figure sighed.

“You’re dumber than I thought.” He sighed. “I’m Von Nebula.”

 

With that, Von Nebula turned, and led his troops out the door. The red figure stopped before leaving.

“I’m William Furno!” he called. “You guys suck!”

Then William Furno left, shutting the door behind him. The Spare Bedroom was absolute chaos; Bionicles were strewn everywhere, the result of three entire armies battling in the same room.

 

“Well, I think I’ve had enough fighting for today.” Tahu Stars yawned, stretching as he stood. “I’m gonna call a tactical retreat.”

“I’m warning you don’t go to the bedroom.” Tahu Mata told him. “Hero Factory will have control of it now.”

“Oh, I know.” Tahu Stars nodded. “Now, come on!”

 

Tahu Stars’ army filed out the door; many were missing pieces; Tahu Mata’s army was exactly the same.

“Well?” Maxilos said softly. “What are we gonna do?”

“Try and survive?” Tahu Mata shrugged. “Right now, I don’t know. But we’ll think of something.”

“Yeah.” Maxilos nodded. “We’ve come a long way.”

“I guess.” Tahu Mata agreed. “Now, let’s go see our casualties.”

End Season 1...

With the first season all posted, it's time for the special chapters. These were almost always set outside of the main comedy itself, with the characters behaving more like actors in between takes for a movie. Civil War had two PSAs and one ordinary Special.

 

Tahu vs. Tahu

PSA #1 >> Villain Interviews

 

The Bedroom...

 

“Hey there, readers!” Tahu Stars exclaimed. “Prepare for a lot of fourth wall breaking!”

He turned back to Tahu Mata.

“Yeah, I really don’t think this is gonna work.” He said.

“Fine, I’ll do it.” Tahu Mata muttered, stepping forward.

 

Tahu Stars shoved him back down in response.

“Anyway, we here at Tahu vs. Tahu have been trying to decide, who’s the main villain going to be in Season 2?” Tahu Stars began. “I mean, Season 1 clearly doesn’t have a solid villain; it’s just war.”

“Actually, I’m pretty sure that since you’re a tyrannical dictator, you count as a villain.” Ahkmou said dryly.

 

Tahu Stars shot the Po-Matoran a look that quickly shut him up.

“Anyway, as I was saying.” Tahu Stars continued. “Since this season is clearly missing a villain, we decided to interview some new and old characters for the job.”

 

With that, Tahu Stars sat down at the table beside Ahkmou, Tahu Stars, and Dekar.

“Bring in the first one.” Tahu Mata ordered.

Kazi nodded, and let in both of the Vezons.

 

“Oh, please no.” Tahu Stars groaned. “NEXT, NEXT, NEXT!!”

Dekar and Tahu Mata shrugged apologetically, leaving Ahkmou to roll his eyes.

“The stupidity of it.” He muttered. “They would be great villains!”

“Next.” Tahu Mata ordered.

 

Vultraz stepped inside.

“Uh, you’re not scheduled.” Tahu Mata told him. “We’ve got Brutaka up next.”

“Yeah, uh, he’s uh... kinda busy....” Vultraz trailed off. “Come on! I’ll make a great villain!”

“This is about Vultraz’s Diner, isn’t it?” Ahkmou sighed.

“Possibly.”

 

“Look, is it really our fault that absolutely no one from that comedy series has had a very large role in this comedy so far?” Tahu Mata asked.

Vultraz glared at him, and Tahu Mata sighed.

“We’re not giving you an entire season to be villain.” He told him. “But perhaps we can schedule you for a chapter or two.”

 

“No perhaps; you will. ” Vultraz ordered.

Dekar leaned over his paper, scribbling down a date.

“How’s season 3?”

“As soon as possible.” Vultraz replied, exiting.

“You’re not actually serious.” Ahkmou said.

“I am.” Dekar nodded. “He’ll be great!”

 

“Alright, next up is Von Nebula and William Furno, from Hero Factory.” Tahu Stars read. “Ugh... double team.”

“What’s wrong with that?!” William Furno exclaimed, leaping into the room. “I don’t like your attitude, buster!”

Tahu Stars pressed a button on the desk, and Furno was instantly dropped through a trap door down below, where a horde of Zyglak was waiting.

 

“Uh, yeah.” Von Nebula shrugged, side-stepping the open hole in the floor. “Just to let you know, I’m not insane.”

“You’re hired.” Tahu Mata said instantly, scribbling on his paper.

Von Nebula glanced at him with pure evil before leaving.

“You two are way too quick to hire people.” Tahu Stars said.

 

“Hey guys!” a figure said. “I’m Torch, the Throwbot! You may know me as a Slizer.”

“Hired.” Tahu Stars interrupted. “Great job there!”

A look of utter confusion spread across Torch’s face as he left the room.

“Who are those weirdoes?”

 

“And, the final one of the evening, Takutanuva.” Dekar read.

“Yeah, he doesn’t even need to come in.” Ahkmou said immediately. “I’ll just write him in here....”

“And, his ally Irnakk.” Dekar continued.

 

“HOLY #%&$!” Ahkmou screamed. “Dude, those two are insanely scary on their own! Why would we put them together?!”

“Language.” Tahu Mata told him tiredly.

“Just. Do it.” Tahu Stars ordered quietly. “Before I feed you to them.”

Ahkmou gulped, grinned nervously, and then scribbled down on his paper.

“Done.”

 

“Good.” Tahu Mata said, satisfied. “Well, that’s our first PSA wrapped up!”

“What does PSA even mean?!” Dekar exclaimed. “Argh!”

“Ugh, I didn’t get to break the fourth wall.” Tahu Stars complained.

 

All four glanced over to the wall with a number four on it.

“You know, that’s probably for the best.” Ahkmou replied. “The entire mansion would probably collapse if we did break it.”

“Whatever.”

The End.

Special #1 – The Fourth Wall

 

The Bedroom....

 

“Hey Tahu, what’re you doing?” Takanuva Stars asked, approaching Tahu Stars.

“Trying to break down this wall.” Tahu Stars grunted.

 

He was repeatedly stabbing his sword at the wall; so far, he had successfully gotten several bruises and a broken pommel piece. Luckily, extra Skrall Stars sets had assured a ready replacement.

“Yeah, good luck with that.” Takanuva said doubtfully. “I... don’t think that’s gonna work.”

“Why not?” Tahu Stars asked. “It’s usually easy to break down the fourth wall! I really don’t get why it’s so hard all of a sudden!”

 

“You know, you’re right.” Takanuva Stars said thoughtfully. “Technically, by now it should’ve shattered a dozen times over.”

“It has, you dimwits!” Kazi screeched. “It’s kinda painful!”

Both of the Stars Toa glanced behind them to spot Kazi buried under several walls’ worth of rubble.

 

“Uh... oops?” Takanuva Stars grinned nervously.

“Yeah, whatever.” Tahu Stars grumbled. “If we’ve broken so many, why isn’t this one breaking?”

“I was coming to tell you that!” Kazi exclaimed. “And then I got buried in this stuff!”

“I see.” Tahu Stars nodded.

 

“Besides, that wall doesn’t even have a four on it.” Kazi told them as they yanked him out of the wreckage. “Can’t you dimwits read? That’s the number three!”

“Oh....” Takanuva Stars trailed off. “Whatever. You’re the one that buried yourself under several walls.”

“I did not!” Kazi protested. “You guys made me get buried!”

A wall promptly shattered above Kazi, raining him with pieces of drywall.

 

“Don’t. Even. Say it.” Kazi warned through clenched teeth.

Tahu Stars bent over, tears of mirth leaking out of his eyes.

“You know, I really don’t get what’s so funny.” Kazi sulked. “You’re the one who can’t read.”

“SHUT UP!” Tahu Stars bellowed.

 

Takanuva Stars and Kazi were sent flying into the third wall with a crash.

“Where is the fourth wall, then?!” Tahu Stars hissed.

“Over there.” Kazi pointed.

 

Tahu Stars glanced behind him; sure enough, the wall had a number four on it.

“Ah. Thanks. I’ll be going, then.”

 

Five minutes later, Tahu Stars was still having absolutely no luck when Mantax and Pridak walked by, screaming with laughter.

“What’s so funny?” he asked.

“YOU!” Pridak bellowed, doubling up. “You’re so... you’re so dumb!”

He and Mantax continued to chuckle un-controllably.

 

“Tell me why you are laughing, or I swear, so many walls will break, you won’t be getting out for a week.” Tahu Stars threatened.

Mantax dodged a wall that fell right next to him, grinning.

“Dude, I spray painted on all the walls yesterday.” He explained. “We didn’t think someone would mistake this one for the fourth wall for awhile; we certainly didn’t think they’d mistake the third wall as the fourth wall; and we REALLY didn’t think that we would fool you!”

 

“Okay, that’s it.” Tahu Stars muttered.

He lunged forward, grabbed both Barraki, and threw them straight through the wall, to fly out of the house and land in the two foot deep pond.

“You know, when we were designed as sets of beings that lived underwater, I never thought we’d actually end up living in water.” Pridak said.

“Yeah.” Mantax agreed. “And I didn’t think we’d be able to breathe water, either.”

 

“OH, YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!” Tahu Stars bellowed from the house. “YOU’RE STILL HAPPY?!”

“Yup, fine and dandy!” Pridak called. “Thanks man! If you could send down the rest of the 2007 sets that would be great!”

“I hate this job.” Tahu Stars muttered, stomping away.

“I think we made him angry.” Mantax said.

“Yeah, me too.” Pridak agreed. “Another prank well done!”

 

He and Mantax fist-bumped, chuckling.

“We should really do this again sometime.”

 

The End.

PSA #2 – SPAM

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“Hey there, guys!” Pohatu Nuva waved. “I’m Pohatu Nuva, from Tahu vs. Tahu!”

He glanced over to Vamprah, who stood beside him.

 

“Uh... Vamprah?” Pohatu Nuva asked.

Vamprah glanced at him and shrugged.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Pohatu Nuva muttered, shaking his head. “If you’re not gonna speak, why did you sign up?!”

 

Vamprah shrugged once more before turning and walking away.

“HEY!” Pohatu Nuva shouted. “Get back here! You can’t just walk off the job!”

Pohatu Nuva sighed, as Lewa Mata ran up.

 

“Okay, I’m here!” Lewa Mata exclaimed, gasping for breath. “Am I late?!”

“You’re not scheduled, are you?” Pohatu Nuva asked.

“Sure I am.” Lewa Mata told him, standing.

“What about Vamprah?”

“Oh, he’s just like that, you know?” Lewa Mata asked.

 

“You have got to be kidding me.” Pohatu muttered, shaking his head.

“Anyway, I’m Lewa Mata from the same comedy!” Lewa Mata began, turning to the camera. “Alright, now where did I put my cue cards?”

 

Pohatu Nuva sighed again.

“Anyway.” The Toa Nuva of stone started. “Recently, there’s been several closed topics in the Comedies Forum, and there’s other comedies that... well, we don’t really approve of. So today, we’re gonna tell you what spam is, and how to avoid it.”

 

“The first thing you need to know, is that spam is meat.” Pohatu Nuva continued.

“It is not, dimwit!” Lewa Mata snapped. “SPAM is actually an acronym; it stands for ‘Stupid, Pointless, Annoying, Message.’”

“I see.” Pohatu Nuva murmured, scratching his forehead.

 

“Continuing on, here are several signs that what you are reading is SPAM.” Lewa Mata continued.

He then slapped a list onto the wall, saying:

 

  1. The title is either gibberish, can’t be understood, or can be considered offensive.

  2. The comedy has terrible punctuation, numerous spelling errors, no plotline, and the characters are non-existent.

  3. The author has recently made several SPAM topics.

  4. The author is eagerly supported by those who have either supported spam in the past, are close friends with the author, follow the author around (stalkers), or have knowingly written SPAM themselves.

  5. Those supporting the SPAM feel the need to start flame wars with those who critique the SPAM.

  6. Those who SPAM feel the need to over-think arguments and also feel the need to pointlessly defend every single letter of every single SPAMMY word that the author wrote.

  7. The topic receives dozens of replies within days where other comedies go dry for years because so many people hate it because it is SPAM, but each critique is met with at least seven comments from SPAM supporters saying how good it is.

  8. The SPAM is either repeatedly reposted, or repeatedly receives equally SPAMMY sequels.

  9. Lots of flame wars start between those who love SPAM and those who hate SPAM.

  10. Many members get docked proto energy or are proto zapped and banned because the SPAM completely SPAMMED up their lives.

 

“Yeah... I’d say only the first six are actually valid.” Pohatu Nuva said doubtfully.

“No way. All ten are, trust me.” Lewa Mata assured him. “I had a list of five hundred and eighty three. You should be thankful I took the time to narrow it down.”

“I see.” Pohatu Nuva gulped. “Out of curiosity, which numbers were these?”

“Numbers one, three, seventeen, four hundred, four hundred and one, four hundred seventy-two, five hundred and three, five hundred twenty, five hundred forty, and five hundred eighty-two.” Lewa Mata listed.

“Ah.”

 

“Anyway.” Lewa Mata grunted, tearing the list off the wall. “There’s ten ways you can tell if something is spam. See you!”

“Tiddlywinks!” Pohatu Nuva cried out.

The End.

Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... sorry. Wrong intro; let me start again.

 

Over ten years ago, the son of Lego’s current big boss man received many sets as a special birthday gift. These sets had their time, but little more than a year later, they were replaced by Bionicle.

 

That is a different tale. This one is about what happened ten years later, after Bionicle ended. With several sets claiming control over the others, the Bionicles erupted into Civil War. Many Bionicles were lost to the fight, and others disappeared.

 

Now, that Civil War is the least of the worries on Tahu Mata’s list. For now, he must deal with...

 

An Invasion.

 

Readers;

 

Tahu vs. Tahu Presents...

 

Season 2: Invasion

 

The arrival of Hero Factory has thrown everything into chaos. While Hero Factory has laid claim to the wanted bedroom, Tahu Mata has maintained his position in the spare bedroom. Tahu Stars has led his army elsewhere, and for the moment, they have been forgotten as Tahu Mata’s army struggles with their new foes.

 

Part 1 {Capture}

 

The Bedroom

 

“Uh, boss man?” Vapour asked, stepping in front of Von Nebula.

“What is it?” the hulking black figure rumbled.

“Yeah, uh, the Alpha Team you sent on that mission... they got captured.”

“What about Bulk v2?!” Von Nebula exclaimed.

 

“Oh, I got away.” Bulk v2 said casually, flying over with his jetpack.

Von Nebula sighed.

“Those dimwits.” He muttered. “Figures, with their weapon arms.”

“Hey!” Bulk v2 protested. “I’ve got two of those, here!”

“Yeah, and they didn’t even colour Stringer’s silver for you.” Vapour sniggered. “Sucker.”

“I hate you.” Bulk v2 sighed.

 

“How did they get captured?!” Von Nebula spat.

“Oh, trust me, it’s really embarrassing....” Bulk v2 groaned.

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“So, you fools really thought that the three of you could defeat an entire army?” Tahu Mata asked incredulously.

“Uh... yeah, you could say that.”Preston Stormer replied.

“Shut up.” Strakk snapped. “You’ve got some serious under bite problems.”

“Not nice.” Stormer murmured, turning away. “Lego moulded it.”

 

Strakk rolled his eyes as Tahu Mata turned to Jimi Stringer.

“Don’t listen to him.” Duncan bulk said quickly. “He’s dumb as a doornail.”

“What?” Stringer turned to Bulk. “Doors don’t have nails. Doors have knobs.”

“See what I mean?” Bulk sighed.

“The correct term is ‘as dead as a doornail’.” Stormer told him.

 

Tahu Mata groaned.

“This is going to take forever.”

 

The Bedroom

 

“You’re kidding me.” Von Nebula said in disbelief.

“Sadly, I am not kidding.” Bulk v2 sighed dramatically.

“Oh my gosh.” Von Nebula groaned, grabbing his face. “This sucks so bad....”

 

Vapour leapt a foot in the air when Von Nebula whipped towards him.

“Bring me Meltdown and Rotor. They’ll cause real mayhem.”

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“So you just thought you were powerful enough to destroy us all.” Tahu Mata repeated.

“Yes.” Bulk nodded.

“That is so sad.” Strakk shook his head sadly.

“I’m really getting tired of you.” Stormer responded. “You bug me.”

“That would be too bad.” Strakk said brightly. “Seeing as you’re the prisoner, not me.”

 

“Hey, Tahu?” Lewa Mata called. “Some of the Bohrok just arrived; they’re saying to prepare for battle.”

“Again?” Tahu Mata replied in disbelief. “Even Tahu Stars didn’t attack this much. Speaking of which, has he been seen yet?”

 

“Nope.” Lewa Mata shook his head. “Although there’re rumours that he may have fled to the Kitchens.”

“Why there?” Strakk asked.

Lewa Mata shrugged.

“Lots of places to hide?” the Toa Mata of air suggested.

 

“Uh, can you not forget about us?” Stormer called. “We’re your prisoners. You’re supposed to watch us.”

Strakk turned around and smacked Stormer with his axe, causing the hero to fall silent. Stringer laughed at the action, earning a glare from his leader.

 

“Anyway...” Strakk trailed off, turning back to Tahu and Lewa.

“Alright then.” Tahu Mata decided. “Get a team together, and go to the kitchens.”

“Alright.” Lewa Mata nodded, turning away. “How many?”

“Meh. Four should do it.”

 

“What about me?” Strakk asked.

“You’re gonna stay here while I go get some other people to watch the prisoners.” Tahu Mata told him. “And then you’ll be getting preparations done for the attack.”

“Totally awesome.”

 

The Kitchens

 

“Takanuva!” Tahu Stars called.

“Yes sir?” Takanuva Stars asked, running up.

“Status report.”

“You just asked for one five minutes ago. Nothing has changed.”

“So? I’m paranoid. I don’t need Tahu Mata or Hero Factory finding us.”

 

“Why not?” Takanuva Stars asked.

“Because I’m not helping either of them, which means we’d be fighting in a three-way war. Do you remember how well things went when it was just Tahu vs. Tahu?”

“Pretty decent. Except for that last battle.”

“Exactly. I don’t want a repeat.”

 

Takanuva Stars shrugged and turned to leave.

“Takanuva!” Tahu Stars called behind him.

“What?!” he called back.

“Status report!”

“IT’S BEEN ONE MINUTE! IT’S THE EXACT SAME!”

 

“No need to scream about it.” Tahu Stars muttered.

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“Here is your new job.” Tahu Mata told them.

“No way.” Onua Mata shook his head. “Uh-uh.”

“Yeah, I’m with Onua.” Gali Mata sniffed. “These guys aren’t worth us.”

 

“So you want to risk going into the first battle with a new enemy and risk losing two more members?” Tahu Mata asked. “Because that’s what happened with Pohatu and Kopaka.”

“Right.” Onua agreed. “Then we’ll do it.”

“But where’s Lewa?” Gali asked.

 

“Oh, looking for Tahu Stars.” Tahu Mata said casually.

“Yeah.” Onua Mata snorted. “That’s definitely safe.”

“Totally is.” Tahu Mata agreed. “Well, see you! Strakk and I have some strategies to plan.”

 

With that, the Toa Mata of fire left, followed by the Glatorian of ice.

“This is gonna suck.” Onua muttered.

“Tell me about it.” Bulk groaned. “Can you imagine how much Hero Factory is gonna fail?”

Part 2 {Jellybeans}

 

The Kitchen

 

Tahu Stars joined the crowd gathered around a huge bag of round, colourful beans.

“What are these things?” he asked.

“They’re called Jellybeans.” Kazi explained. “They’re like brown beans, except they’re not disgusting because they’re made out of candy.”

“I see.”

 

“THESE. ARE. FRIGGING. DELICIOUS.” Matoro Mahri told them approaching. “ESPECIALLY THE WHITE ONES. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TRY THE WHITE ONES.”

“Racist.” Nuparu Mahri muttered.

“Aw, come one, bro.” Matoro Mahri sighed. “I wasn’t like, being serious. Although the black ones do kinda taste bad.”

 

Nuparu Mahri responded with a snarl, tackling Matoro Mahri to the ground. Both fell off the counter, landing with a crash on the floor below.

“We’re okay!” they both called.

 

“Which one should I try first?” Tahu Stars questioned.

“THE WHITE ONES!” Matoro bellowed.

Tahu Stars sighed.

“Give me a black one.” He ordered.

 

A hush fell amongst the crowd; Tahu Stars glared at them.

“Seriously, what is the matter? I said I want a black one!” he exclaimed.

Kazi reached forward and yanked a black one out; there was a suspiciously large amount of them left. Tahu Stars grabbed it and sniffed it, shrugging. It smelled alright. He tossed it into his mouth.

 

The moment it touched his lips, he gagged, clutching his throat.

“Run!” he said hoarsely, falling to his knees. “The end is upon us! Augh, it tastes so bad! Why won’t it leave? WHY WON’T IT LEAVE?!”

 

Takanuva Stars handed him what looked like a pepper; Tahu Stars ate it greedily, to regret it a split second later.

“MY MOUTH IS ON FIRE!” he screamed. “AND I CAN STILL TASTE THAT JELLYBEAN! OH, THE HORRORS! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?!”

 

“Well, if you mean besides the fact that you’re trying to thrust a dictatorship on everyone, then nothing.” Kazi said casually.

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

Zaktan glanced over as several screams were heard; his squad of Lehvak followed.

“Not good, not good.” The Lehvak muttered. “Not good at all!”

“Oh, shut up.” Zaktan rolled his eyes. “Looks like the jail is having troubles. Follow me!”

“Wish we hadn’t been assigned to you, wish we hadn’t.” The Lehvak all grumbled. “Suicidal you are, suicidal.”

 

They arrived at the jail in time to see Rotor, Meltdown, Preston Stormer, Jimi Stringer, and Duncan Bulk battling Onua Mata and Gali Mata.

“Go, my warriors!” Zaktan cried. “Die honourable deaths, and take back the prisoners!”

The Lehvak all sighed before rushing forward, swarming Meltdown and Jimi Stringer. Two became spare parts instantly.

 

Meanwhile, Zaktan tackled Rotor, leaving Gali and Onua to battle the remaining two Alpha Team members.

“Sucker!” Rotor sneered, activating his propellers. “Spare parts for you!”

Zaktan was, a moment later, beheaded. His spine and head detached from his body, leaving the body to collapse to the floor.

 

Rotor had turned away, satisfied, when he felt Zaktan wrapping around his propellers, threatening to remove them.

“You should be dead!” the Hero Factory titan complained.

“No way, man.” Zaktan argued. “I was turned into a head with a spine in 2007. That means I can survive like this.”

 

The orange and black titan sighed, slumping.

“This sucks.”

Before Zaktan could react, Rotor had reached up and destroyed everything that was left of him.

“There we go.” Rotor smiled. “Stay alive after that.”

“Fine, I will.” Zaktan replied. “I mean, it was looking like it would be cool being dead, but if you want me here that badly....”

 

“WHY ME?!” Rotor screamed.

Zaktan grinned as Rotor made his escape, grabbing Duncan Bulk and Meltdown on the way. As he took off, Stringer shoved Stormer down, grabbing onto Rotor’s leg as the group made their escape.

 

“You let them get away!” Onua Mata seethed.

“We have one, we have one!” the Lehvak group called. “The white one! The white one!”

“Good job soldiers!” Zaktan praised the group, hovering over. “You have done well today. We shall go now and slumber.”

“Slumber party! Slumber party!” the Lehvak group chanted excitedly.

 

Zaktan led the Lehvak away, leaving a dumbfounded Gali and Onua Mata to chain Preston Stormer up once more, ignoring the complaints of the hero.

 

The Bedroom

 

“What are those?” Von Nebula asked, wrenching the paper from Thunder.

“Some sort of blueprint.” The silver villain told him with a thick British accent. “Looks like creation models. Got some sort of copyright stuff from the Vezon sets.”

 

“Use them.” Von Nebula ordered. “We shall be even more powerful!”

“Yes sir.” Thunder nodded.

“And quit it with the accent! It sounds so fake!”

“It is not fake!” Thunder protested. “It’s 100 percent real! I’m from Europe!”

 

“You were made in Denmark you dolt, not Britain.” Von Nebula rolled his eyes. “Ugh, you’re so stupid sometimes.”

Thunder walked away, pouting.

“My entire life has been a lie!” the villain lamented.

 

As Thunder exited Von Nebula’s view, the hulking black titan turned to William Furno.

“When are the Winter 2011 sets scheduled to arrive?” he questioned.

“In about four or five chapters, sir.” The hero replied.

“I... have no idea what you’re talking about.” Von Nebula responded.

 

“Sorry; I mean, they’re scheduled to come in a couple days.” Furno corrected. “Uh... my bad.”

“Prepare for their arrival.” Von Nebula ordered. “We will need to build them as quickly as possible. Understood?”

“Yes sir.”

“THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL STANDING HERE?!”

 

Furno leapt several inches into the air before scampering away. Von Nebula sat back against the pillow, grinning in triumph.

Part 3 – The Vengeance

 

The Hallway, By the Kitchen:

 

Lewa Mata led his group towards the kitchen; several screams, thuds, booms, crashes, and curses could be heard.

 

“Yeah, they’re definitely in the kitchen.” Tarix reported.

“But why are they all screaming?” Gelu wonder aloud.

“Doesn’t matter.” Malum replied. “Pound their skulls into the ground anyway.”

 

Lewa Mata rolled his eyes.

“No skull pounding. We’re here to ask for help.” He told them. “If you pound anyone’s skull Malum, I will pound yours.”

“Darn.”

 

Lewa Mata pushed the door, and it slowly swung open.

“Now remember the plan.” He whispered. “Be as silent as-”

“HEY, DUDES! SKULL POUNDING TIME!” Malum bellowed, running forward.

“Never mind.” Lewa sighed.

 

Malum bounced back to them a second later, clutching his head and groaning.

“Who opened the refrigerator?!” Tahu Stars could be heard. “We’re supposed to fight them, not waste precious apples on them!”

“Sorry sir!” Nuparu Mahri called, jumping down and sticking out his shield. “Here, bozo! Run into my shield instead!”

 

Lewa grabbed Malum by the helmet as he attempted to do just that.

“We’re here to ask for help, you morons.” He sighed. “Help with Hero Factory.”

“Nope, no way.” Tahu Stars told them. “I am not fighting Hero Factory. But you’ll be my prisoners!”

“Never!” Malum roared, running forward.

“YOU MORON, I’M STILL HERE!” Lewa Mata bellowed.

 

The Bedroom

 

“We’re home!” Meltdown called, dumping both Duncan Bulk and Jimi Stringer on the ground. “We brought back two of them.”

“You left behind Stormer?” Thresher (Bulk v2) asked.

“Yes.” Rotor nodded. “But nobody likes him anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”

 

MEANWHILE....

 

“Are they ready yet?” Von Nebula rumbled.

“Almost done sir.” William Furno replied.

“Exactly right.” Thunder nodded.

“What did I tell you about the stupid accent?!” Von Nebula snapped.

“So sorry about that, my dear.” A voice said as a shadow fell over them. “Really am; can’t quite help it in moments like these however, know what I mean?”

 

All three Hero Factory sets gulped and slowly turned around.

“Yeah... we decided not to build that one....” Furno smiled nervously. “Can someone wake me up now?”

“You weren’t going to build me, hmmm?” the gigantic figure smiled sadly. “Well, it is a rather good thing I ended up next to that special edition set.”

 

The figure cackled as a strange energy pulsed through his entire body, plainly visible.

“No way.” Von Nebula retorted. “That set is not really super charged.

“Say so yourself, fool.” The figure grinned, grabbing Von Nebula in his hand. “And say hello to your new master – Flynn!”

 

The Basement

 

“I fear that those Hero Factory sets fell for the trap!” one Vezon grinned maliciously.

“Indeed, they did!” the other giggled. “Oh, the fools!”

A huge crash could be heard from above, followed by several screams.

“Sounds like something has fallen into the kitchen!” they both laughed.

 

The Kitchen

 

Everybody screamed as the hulking figure of Von Nebula crashed through the ceiling and landed on the floor.

“ARGH! THEY LIVE RIGHT ABOVE US!” Matoro Mahri screamed. “IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD! I SHALL NOW POINTLESSLY SACRIFICE MYSELF TO SAVE US ALL!”

He then took off, searching for a set with the Kanohi Ignika.

 

“Uh... he’s not moving.” Ahkmou reported. “Would that be a problem?”

“Well, I’d assume so.” Garan shrugged, standing beside him. “Seeing as he’s more powerful than almost every Bionicle.”

“This doesn’t bode well, then.” Ahkmou muttered.

 

“Seriously, why isn’t he saying anything?!” Tarix asked, approaching the limp figure.

The blue Glatorian bent over, searching all over Von Nebula.

“Dude, he’s like... still alive.” He reported, backing away. “But barely. Half of his pieces have been torn off, and something was either large enough or powerful enough to send him flying through the floor.”

 

“How does a plastic toy survive being shoved through the ceiling?” Kazi asked.

Tarix shrugged, as several roars and screams were heard through the hole.

“Darn.” Tahu Stars muttered.

 

Von Nebula stood, unnoticed by the surrounding Bionicles, who were busy staring at the ceiling. He remained unnoticed until his roar.

“HOLY COW, WARN ME NEXT TIME!” Ahkmou bellowed, bolting.

Tahu Stars rolled his eyes and prepared to battle.

 

“CHARGE!” He roared.

Tahu Stars’ army rushed forward, only to be sent flying back in all directions; when the dust cleared, the gaping hole was even larger and several monstrosities were either jumping down or preparing to.

 

“Guest Stars, attack!” the biggest one bellowed. “Today we shall show that we are not just designs!”

“Augh, it’s Flynn!” Von Nebula cried. “No!”

The hulking figure ran away, only to be squashed under Flynn’s big toe as he landed.

“Wow....” Velika breathed, approaching the gigantic guest star and poking him. “So huge... THAT IS TOTALLY AWESOME!”

 

Flynn flicked him away, sending the matoran crashing into a group of bananas and squishing them.

“Spread out mass destruction!” Flynn ordered.

“Got that, sir!” A Rahkshi combo saluted. “ToaDude shall totally rock their socks!”

Eleven Rahkshi Kaita Vo followed him as he approached Lewa Mata’s group.

“Oh snap.” Gelu gulped. “Not good.”

 

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Malum screamed, running off.

Lewa Mata rubbed his forehead, shaking his head.

“Why me?” he moaned. “Tahu Mata is not going to be pleased.

“Oh! You’re with Tahu Mata?!” ToaDude asked eagerly.

“Uh... yes...?” Gelu trailed off. “But only if it means you don’t kill us.”

“Oh, I like Tahu Mata!” ToaDude said eagerly. “Just you wait, you’ll love me!”

“I hope so.” Tarix said quietly.

 

As Lewa Mata’s group left the kitchen, followed by ToaDude and the Kaita Vo, Flynn had confronted Tahu Mata’s army with the other guest stars, not noticing Hero Factory slowly dropping down from the hole in the ceiling.

“You know, I was planning to stay out of the fight.” Tahu Stars sighed. “Why did that not work?”

“Probably because the kitchen is in the middle of the mansion.” Takanuva Stars answered.

“SHUT UP!” Flynn roared. “Time for your demise!”

Part 4 – Strike 3 and You’re Out

 

The Spare Bedroom....

 

Tahu Mata, Strakk, and Mata-Nui stood beside each other as Lewa Mata’s group rushed in, followed by a series of creations.

 

“Tahu!” Lewa Mata gasped. “You’ve gotta help us!”

“What is it?” Tahu Mata asked.

“Hero Factory... made creations... they’re destroying Hero Factory and Tahu Stars’ armies easily.” Lewa Mata explained.

Tahu Mata froze.

“Oh snap.” Strakk muttered.

 

“Can’t we just not fight?” Mata-Nui asked. “There’s been far too much fighting recently.”

“You don’t like fighting because you used to be forty million feet tall.” Strakk rolled his eyes.

“Problems were so much simpler to fix back then....” Mata-Nui sighed, gazing into the distance.

 

“Uh, not to bother you guys, but there’s a war destroying this mansion going on downstairs.” ToaDude interrupted. “You might want to deal with that.”

“Right....” Tahu Mata sighed. “Ugh....”

 

Elsewhere in the Spare Bedroom:

 

“And that, my friends, is why you never disturb a Dodongo.” Zaktan finished.*

The Tahnok and Kohrak all clapped; the Lehvak simply sat there, sobbing.

“My friends, what is wrong?” Zaktan asked.

“Uh, hey guys? Do you know where I can find Tahu Mata?” a voice asked.

 

Zaktan turned at the voice.

“Kapurkar!” he cried out, speeding through the air. “How good to see you again!”

“What are you talking about?” Kapurkar asked, ducking and allowing Zaktan to slam into the wall.

“Why, remember? We went on that whole dimensional adventure where we saved everything?” Zaktan told him.

 

“No. We didn’t.” Kapurkar sighed. “I am actually Kapurkar, the Toa of Transport. Not that Kapurkar. He’s my evil twin brother.”

“Yeah... that’s why he helped to save the universe from certain destruction.” Zaktan agreed sarcastically.

“Fine then!” Kapurkar exclaimed, throwing his arms up in defeat. “I am Kapurkar. But we’re not supposed to be breaking that stupid wall!”

 

“What wall?” Zaktan asked.

Kapurkar’s eyes both popped out of the socket; a second later, a toy train had smashed through the wall and slammed into Zaktan, running over a few Kohrak in the process.

“I’ll go find Tahu Mata myself, then.” The Toa muttered.

 

As he walked away, a figure cloaked in the shadows silently tailed him; Agent 324 smiled grimly as he prepared to take down his fellow creation. A split second later, as he was drawing his dagger and closing in, he vanished, teleporting five feet in front of Kapurkar.

“Aw, come on!” he exclaimed. “Stupid teleportation fusion! Hero Factory sucks!”

“Hi there!” Kapurkar greeted. “Nice day for killing people, isn’t it?”

“Shut up.”

 

Meanwhile, in the Kitchen....

 

“DIE, Hero Factory!” Flynn yelled, flinging Thresher and Vapour into a wall. “You shall never defeat me!”

“YES we will!” Furno yelled back, charging.

“NO you won’t!” Flynn retorted.

“YES we will!” Furno shot back.

“WHY are the first words we say in CAPS LOCK?!” Flynn bellowed.

“I don’t know!” Furno responded. “Darn, that sucked. It just died.”

“Huzzah!”

 

Elsewhere in the Kitchen....

 

“Oh Sonic-boom, sonic-boom, sonic-boom, sonic-boom!” a titan sang as he crashed through the wall.

“What are you singing?!” Pridak exclaimed.

“It’s a Sonic song.” The titan replied.**

“A what song?” Mantax asked.

The titan rolled his eyes. “You know, sonic the Hedgehog?”

“Oh, that Sonic.” Pridak nodded. “Yeah, he’s alright.”

“But Mario is so much better.” Mantax continued.

 

“YOU SHALL PAY FOR THAT.” The titan rumbled. “Prepare to meet your doom from the SonicBOOM.”

“I’m really hoping that wasn’t intended to be frightening.” Mantax told him. “Because if it was... well, let’s just say you suck.”

“ARGH!” SonicBOOM yelled.

He grabbed Mantax by the throat and hurled him at the wall, where the black Barraki smashed into Takanuva Mistika and a bag of marshmallows.

 

“Very soft.” Mantax observed. “Perfect for a situation like this!”

He then grabbed the bag and chucked it at SonicBOOM, who was sent flying away from the impact.

“Totally awesome!” Mantax grinned.

“Indeed!” Pridak agreed.

 

Outside the Kitchen

 

Tahu Nuva and Lewa Mata lead half of Tahu Mata’s army towards the kitchen as a strange Toa popped out at them, with what looked like a chain of eight dead Vorahk behind him.

“Hey guys!” he called. “The name is Biobeast, before I get to destroying you.”

“Wait....” Tahu Nuva paused. “Just Biobeast?”

“Yeah. Why would it be anything else?” Biobeast asked.

“Well, because last time guest stars got loose, we had to fight Biobeast99.” Lewa Mata explained.

 

“Oh, I see.” Biobeast nodded, dropping the Rahkshi. “Well, you see, the Vezons made 324 designs of me, and I am the first one.”

“So we have to deal with 324 of you.” Tahu Nuva sighed.

“No. We were all sent into the arctic on a mission, where we ended up frozen for like, fifty years.” Biobeast explained.

“Then how are you here?” Lewa Mata asked.

“Well, a couple time machines-”

“A couple?!” Lewa Mata shrieked.

“-as well as three cats.” Biobeast said. “Biobeast99 is the most powerful model, but the rest of us are super smart.”

 

Tahu Nuva glanced at the dead Rahkshi.

“Yeah, you’re not powerful at all.” He said sarcastically.

 

Back into the Kitchen....

 

Tahu Stars backed away from a Toa that seemed to be made of the two dead Toa Mata.

“What’s your problem?!” he exclaimed. “I thought you guys were going after Hero Factory!”

“Well, we could.” The Toa shrugged. “But then they’d be dead in seconds.”

“So instead we Bionicles get to die in seconds.”

“Yeah!” the Toa smiled. “Now prepare to be slaughtered mercilessly by Lewa #1!”

 

“Wait, what?” Tahu Stars stopped.

“Lewa #1. That’s my name.” the Toa told him.

“No way, man.” Tahu Stars shook his head. “We’ve already got Lewa Mata, Lewa Nuva, Lewa Phantoka, and Lewa Mistika. We are NOT having Lewa #1.”

“Yes we are.” Lewa #1 retorted. “Now shut up and die.”

 

Lewa #1 closed in, grinning maniacally.

“ARRRRRRRRRGH!”

Part 5 – On the Run

 

The Kitchen...

 

“So we have to fight 324 versions of the same guy, an enraged giant whose  foot is the size of Von Nebula, several crazed Toa, a Rahkshi combiner with more Rahkshi combiners, and an assassin.” Ahkmou listed.

“Uh... yeah....” Vultraz trailed off.

“Screws this!” Ahkmou exclaimed. “I’m leaving. Let’s go back to Wal-Mart.”

Vultraz snorted. “No way, too many people go to Wal-Mart. We’d get trampled in a holiday rush.”

“Good point.” Ahkmou nodded. “But where else would we go?”

 

“Well, it’s spring.” Vultraz suggested. “We could always try and live outside.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Ahkmou agreed. “I’ll get a few others and we’ll be on our way.”

“See you.”

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

Kapurkar and 324 eyed each other warily.

“Why are you attacking me?” Kapurkar asked.

Agent 324 shrugged. “I got paid to by Flynn; can’t have traitors.”

“So it would seem.”

 

All of a sudden, Kapurkar lunged at 324, preparing to easily take his head off. However, the Agent’s teleportation ability activated, causing Kapurkar to send himself stumbling into the wall. 324 chuckled as he vanished, a chuckled that immediately disappeared as he found himself six feet into the air and falling down with a smash.

 

“Who is that?!” Krekka bellowed.

“Uh... me?” Agent 324 responded.

“Okay.” Krekka replied. “Just checking.”

“Good grief.” 324 muttered, turning to Kapurkar. “Wait a minute-”

 

A huge transport train slammed into 324; he teleported away just before being sent through a wall, landing in front of Kapurkar on his face.

“I’ve got you now.” The Toa grinned maniacally.

“Crud.”

 

The Kitchen

 

Flynn grabbed William Furno and chucked him across the kitchen where he smashed into the Furno Bike. Ignoring the red hero, Flynn stomped on Natalie Breez, ignoring the fact that Mark Surge was uselessly stabbing his big toe.

 

“Hey, fatty!” a voice yelled. “Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?!”

Flynn turned around to find himself facing Duncan Bulk.

“Seriously?” he questioned.

Bulk chuckled. “Uh... can we pretend I didn’t say that?”

“Sure.” Flynn told him. “Just stand still, and it’ll be like it never happened.”

 

Before Bulk could react, Flynn flicked him into the fridge, where he exploded into seventeen pieces scattered across the room.

“BULK! NO!” Thresher yelled. “You fool! I am going to-”

Flynn sighed, shaking his head, before popping Thresher’s head off.

“Hero Factory, you’ve got some nerves, speaking to me like this.”

 

“It’s kinda all we got.” A voice said in his ear.

Flynn whirled around to see Rotor hovering in the air in front of him, soon joined by Preston Stormer, Surge, and Xplode on the Dropship.

 

“Do you seriously think that this is gonna hurt me?”

The sets responded by pulling out a huge cannon that appeared to be loaded with plastic utensils. Flynn’s eyes went wide in horror, and he screamed before having the ultimate, raw power of a plot device create a hole in the center of his body, taking him down. Flynn landed with a loud thud, directly on top of Vapour, who died instantly.

 

Xplode cringed.

“Well, that kinda sucks.” He said. “But on the bright side, we took out Flynn! Huzzah!”

He and Stormer high fived.

 

Outside the Kitchen:

 

“So the question is, how should I destroy you?” Biobeast asked. “I mean, there’s just so many ways I could do it.”

“How about you shoot us with a laser beam?” Lewa Mata asked. “Make it nice and quick.”

“Nah, I wanna hear you squeal.” Biobeast replied.

“Yeah, never mind. Attack!” Lewa Mata ordered.

 

Biobeast calmly lifted a finger, and the floor instantly began to cave in on the army in front of him.

“AAAAAAAH!” the army squealed.

Biobeast called happily. “Delicious sounds!”

 

“Delicious, huh?” a voice rumbled from the shadows. “That’s too bad. Looks like I’m gonna have to go for the disgusting angle instead.”

“Who’s there?” Biobeast called. “Show yourself!”

A Toa stepped out the shadows, his form rippling.

“Hey, that’s Zeskii!” Tahu Nuva exclaimed in disbelief. “But you died!”

 

“There are ways for plastic to come back to life.” Zeskii said drily.

Biobeast stepped forward.

“Let us duel then, my friend enemy.” He shrugged. “Let the best one win.”

“Indeed.” Zeskii said darkly. “But first, let me reveal my new form....”

 

The Toa felt apart, collapsing as if it were a costume of cloth. Inside, a huge form the size of the Axalara rose, standing upright.

“HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW, PUNK?!” Zeskii bellowed into Biobeast’s face. “I TOOK YOU OUT LAST TIME, AND I’LL DO IT AGAIN!”

 

Biobeast leapt back before jumping forward, smashing into Zeskii’s face and causing the titan to stagger backwards, grabbing his face in pain.

“Not so tough now, are you?” he asked.

Zeskii responded with a fist being sent directly into Biobeast’s face. The Toa flew through the air down the hallway, skidding to a painful stop at the other end of the mansion.

 

“This could take awhile....” Lewa Mata trailed off.

 

The Bedroom

 

“PRIDAK!” Mantax screamed.

“YES, MANTAX?” Pridak responded.

“I THINK WE’RE GONNA DIE THIS TIME!”

“SO DO I!”

 

“Come here already!” Sonicboom snorted, running after them. “You can’t keep this up forever! And when you stop, I WILL EAT YOU.”

“OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-”

 

The Kitchen Again

 

“I’m serious, you really need to change your name.” Tahu Stars muttered, ducking away from the creation.

“No way!” Lewa #1 cried. “That would be totally not cool!”

“You know what else isn’t cool?” ToaDude responded, entering the fray. “Picking on this guy without me. Not let’s rock the house!”

 

“Aw, come on!” Tahu Stars whined. “There’s like ten of you guys and only one of me!”

Part 6 – Conclusion

 

The Kitchen

 

Flynn chuckled darkly as he slowly made his rounds in the apparently deserted room. He towered over every set ever made; there was only one way he could be defeated... or so he thought.

 

The hole in his body was, indeed, quite painful. His chuckling hadn’t helped that at all. Hero Factory had managed to deal quite the blow to Flynn, one that had knocked him out of the fight for awhile. Now it seemed that Hero Factory had fled.

 

“Hey! Brute! Over here!” several voices began shouting.

Flynn turned, grinning.

“Yeah, that’s right!” Xplode taunted as the Dropship sped towards him, the Pilot’s eyes narrowed in concentration.

 

Flynn roared, swinging his arm through the air; the Dropship swerved away, knocking Stormer off in the process. Flynn turned to destroy the hero when a revving drew his attention away. As he turned, Corrodor and Thunder smashed into him, while he was tripped by a second Furno driving the Furno Bike into his foot.

 

“You will not defeat me!” Flynn hissed.

He grabbed Corrodor and flung him away into the darkness, while kicking Furno v2 and the Furno Bike into what was left of Von Nebula, putting himself back together.

“Oh no you don’t!” Flynn yelled, aiming a kick at them.

 

The Dropship blasted again, this time slicing through what was left of the right side of Flynn’s body. Roaring in pain and fury, Flynn dragged the Dropship down and hurled it after Corroder, before grabbing Thunder off of his shoulder. Before the silver villain could do anything, Flynn had chucked him towards the oven; however, the force tore off Flynn’s right arm, sending it spiralling down into the open basement. Flynn spun around and thudded to the ground, breathing heavily. His right arm was gone, and from what was left of his waist, it was lucky for him that his legs were still attached.

 

“No...!” He trailed off.

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

Kapurkar slowly approached Agent 324, a smile slowly forming on his face.

“I suppose I should share some of my past before you die.” He said casually.

“W-what?”

“My past.” Kapurkar replied, frowning slightly. “You see, before... the comedy I come from... nothing would ever go right until the end. We’d just get screwed over. And when we overcame that problem, another rose out of its ashes.”

 

“What do I care?!” 324 spat, standing.

“Well, you see... there was this... villain. He was the original lord of comedies. A god, you could say.” Kapurkar took a slow, deep breath.  “He went crazy, and took over all-”

“Look, I really don’t care about your problems, alright?” 324 interrupted, slicing at him with a dagger.

 

“You need to know!” Kapurkar insisted. “His name... his power... he had his own comedy he resided in. But it wasn’t big at all. So when a certain matoran, destined to become ruler in his place, entered, he followed us back. And then ALMIGHTY nearly won.”

 

“I honestly don’t care.” 324 muttered through gritted teeth.

“You should... because I thought we killed him... but I was wrong.”

“Big deal!”

“It is. Because that comedy is over now. But this one... this one was never supposed to be popular. And he’s already taking control.”

 

“You’re kidding right?” 324 asked.

“Nope.” Kapurkar shook his head. “No matter what they may say, the Vezons simply wouldn’t get the idea to create us on their own. Someone put the idea in their minds... he’s made us as an army to cause enough chaos for him to take control. I feel him now... and I have no clue what can stop him.”

 

Agent 324 suddenly teleported five feet into the air, landing on his face with a crunch.

“Dude, you’re insane.” He responded.

Kapurkar lunged forward, grabbing him by the throat.

“If you don’t believe me...”he trailed off dangerously. “Then I’m afraid you’re of no use.”

 

Kapurkar grabbed a dagger off of 324’s body and stabbed it into his opponent’s chest. 324 teleported behind him, pulling a dagger out and staggering towards him.

“You... son... of a....”

 

With that, Agent 324 trailed off as he collapsed to the floor. As he hit the ground, he exploded into a shower of pieces, out of which a shadowy energy floated. Kapurkar’s eyes widened in fear and realization as he turned and began making his way to the kitchens.

 

The Kitchen

 

“Hey, Rahkshi Kaita!” Tahu Stars called. “Come get me!”

Several of the Vo lunged towards him, their claws extended. Tahu Stars dodged around and underneath, leaving them to all slam into Lewa #1, who shouted several obscenities before dying.

 

Tahu Stars backed up against the cupboards, gulping.

“You’ll pay for that.” ToaDude told him.

“Hey, Kaita!” Tahu Stars began. “In my army, I’ve got at least ten of each type of the regular Rahkshi... if you join me you can lead them.”

 

ToaDude sighed, and shook his head. That was all he got before the Vo pounced, eager to lead an army themselves. Tahu Stars smiled to himself, satisfied, and went to go hide.

 

Elsewhere in the Kitchen

 

Sonicboom burst out of the basement, chasing Pridak and Mantax.

“HEY FLYNN!” Pridak bellowed.

Flynn glanced up and immediately aimed a kick at them; he successfully connected with both Mantax and Sonicboom, who exploded into a shower of pieces.

 

Streams of shadowy energy gushed from the three fallen guest stars as Kapurkar arrived, just in time to spot two vehicles speeding towards Flynn. Smiling grimly, he activated his powers of transport, sending them at each other.

 

“WHAT’S GOING ON?!” Crotesius cried as he tried desperately to get the Cendox V1 moving.

Meanwhile, Surge had jumped ship as the Dropship sped towards its doom.

“Rotor!” Xplode called. “Get us out of here!”

 

The orange and black villain suddenly appeared beside them, firing at the engines.

“Engine two out!” he yelled gleefully as a plume of smoke appeared behind them.

“HURRY UP!”

Rotor fired one last shot, sending the Dropship plummeting towards the ground. Crotesius breathed a sigh of relief as the Dropship fell below him, heading straight for the paralyzed Kapurkar.

 

“ABANDON SHIP!” the Pilot bellowed.

Xplode leapt over onto Rotor, causing the two of them to tumble down into the garbage can; the Pilot jumped right into Flynn’s waiting hand.

 

Kapurkar desperately de-activated his powers, leaping for safety, but the Dropship slammed into him, crashing into the floor and exploding, destroying Kapurkar’s body. As he died, Kapurkar noticed a dark red energy slowly exiting him, forming the shape of a matoran.

Looks like Vultraz. Was his last thought before Flynn crashed through the illusion and stepped on him.

 

Flynn smiled in satisfaction, turning at the sounds of Zeskii and Biobeast.

“Hello?” he called.

There was a loud bang and then Biobeast’s body was slammed into the wall in front of him by a blast of sand, shattering on impact.

 

“That’s a curious substance.” Flynn murmured, examining the shadow energy.

“Oh, hey Flynn.” Zeskii said casually.

“Why’d you do it?”

“Well, he killed me last time, so it’s only fair.”

 

Flynn grunted, right before stabbing his hand through Zeskii’s body. As he had suspected, Zeskii collapsed into a pile of parts.

“I hate traitors.” Flynn informed him.

 

“Then you’re going to hate me.” A voice told him.

Flynn glanced over his shoulder to see a whirlwind of pieces approaching him.

“Who are you?!” he howled.

The whirlwind cackled as it reformed into the shape of a Toa almost the size of a titan set. Flynn’s eyes narrowed.

 

“My name is Xemnas.” The Toa called. “And I am here to destroy you.”

Flynn laughed. “Have you not seen me?! I easily caused the floor above us to collapse! I’ve decimated Hero Factory! My own fellow guest stars fear me!”

 

“I honestly don’t really care.” Xemnas shrugged. “Because I have you clearly outnumbered.”

Flynn glanced behind him to see the remainder of Hero Factory preparing to swarm him. He turned to deal with them, and Xemnas leapt onto his head, gouging out his left eye.

 

Flynn howled in pain as Xemnas gracefully flitted away from him.

“You know,” the new guest star called. “You seem to be in a bad condition and position. You have one eye, three quarters of a head, one arm, and legs that could fall off at any time.”

 

Flynn stumbled away as Xemnas landed on him again. This time, he stabbed into Flynn’s head and stayed there.

Very well.... The gigantic creation thought.

He concentrated, and a second later a ten second bomb countdown appeared on his chest.

 

“What is that?” Furno asked suspiciously.

“I’m seeing if you can defeat me in ten seconds.” Flynn grunted.

It was stupid, and Flynn knew it, but Hero Factory fell for it. They all jumped onto him, beating him with whatever they could, as the bomb went off.

 

Xemnas desperately sent himself flying through the air, but the shockwave caught up and flung him like a ragdoll into the wall, where he slumped to the floor. Hero Factory was sent flying in all directions, pieces exploding off of sets everywhere. Flynn himself had vanished, completely obliterated in the explosion.

 

Nothing in the kitchen moved; Tahu Mata’s army had, in the middle of the fight, retreated, and Tahu Stars’ army had fled to who knew where.

 

Silently, pieces from the guest stars began getting drawn to the basement; every guest star except for Kapurkar and Xemnas (who’s still alive). In the basement, the two Vezons, along with Fenrakk and Kardas, cowered and backed away as a figure slowly stood to his feet, easily standing twice as tall as Flynn (and also twice as large).

 

“I stand once again.” The figure rumbled, examining his new body as he re-coloured the pieces to suit his needs. “This time I shall not fall. This time I shall not make those mistakes. This time, I cannot be stopped.”

 

He turned to the Vezons.

“You shall be the first in my army.” He ordered. “Go to the bedroom, and build the Hero Factory 2.0. When you are done, lead them down here.”

 

Both Vezons nodded, and urged Fenrakk and Kardas forward. They went as fast as they could, fearing the wrath of their new master.

 

And ALMIGHTY laughed; a horrible sound to any who might have heard. Power was his again.

Part 7 – Two Point Oh

 

The Bedroom

 

“Come here.” ALMIGHTY ordered.

“I don’t want to.” Fire Lord said stubbornly. “I refuse to let you take over my body.”

“Get. Over. Here.”

“No!”

 

“Somebody push him.” ALMIGHTY sighed.

Before Fire Lord could react, Julius Nex 2.0 (henceforth known as “Julius” or “Nex”) shoved him, sending the very first ball join titan sprawling towards ALMIGHTY.

 

“Now, KAZAM!” ALMIGHTY bellowed.

Something that looked like a ghost version of ALMIGHTY transferred itself to Fire Lord; a second later, ALMIGHTY himself vanished.

 

“That was a close one.” Fire Lord gasped.

Nex glanced over to see that Fire Lord ripped the ghost out of his body and tossed it to the ground.

“You can’t do that!” the ghost was protesting. “I’m intangible!”

“I don’t care.” Fire Lord snorted.

 

Nex shoved him again; this time he fell onto the ghost.

“I HATE YOU, YOU STUPID ORANGE ROBOT!” Fire Lord screamed.

“He looks more like a creamsicle if you ask me.” William Furno 2.0 (henceforth known as “Bill” or “Furno 2.0”) replied, approaching.

 

“I do not!”

“Do too!”

“Do not!”

“Do too!”

Nex swore loudly before turning to Furno 2.0 and beating the living daylights out of him.

“I DO NOT!”

 

“...Do too.” Furno 2.0 croaked.

Nex rolled his eyes, walking over to the cage that held 2010 Hero Factory.

“What... are you doing?” Furno 2.0 called.

Nex didn’t reply, opening the cage.

 

“FREEDOM!” Rotor cried happily, speeding out and bowling Nex over. “TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!”

“Wait for me!” Meltdown exclaimed, grabbing onto his leg. “GO!”

 

Rotor sped off, flying through the air, dragging Meltdown with him.

“That... sucked.” Surge muttered. “I really wish I’d thought of that.”

“You’re telling me.” Corrodor complained. “The only other villain here is Xplode!”

“What’s wrong with me?!” Xplode yelled.

 

“All of you, shut up.” Nex ordered. “Now where’s Furno?”

“Right here.” Xplode said immediately, dragging Furno forward.

“Get off of me!” Furno exclaimed.

“What are you gonna do to him?” Furno 2.0 asked nervously.

 

Nex grabbed Furno 2010 in a headlock, turning to face Furno 2.0. Grinning maliciously, he twisted his arm  and popped Furno’s head off.

“NOOOOOOOOO-”

 

Furno 2.0 was cut off by Fire Lord, who smashed him into the wall.

“Suck it up.” The titan growled. “We’ve got work to do.”

Leaving Furno 2010 on the ground (missing his head of course), Nex reached in and grabbed Corrodor as well.

 

“This,” he began. “Is for those other two villains escaping.”

A split second later, Surge 2010 had picked up all that was left of Corrodor (his giant claw) and attached it to his arm, grinning.

 

Closing the jail, Nex joined Furno 2.0 and Fire Lord, who seemed more threatening than before.

“Now, Furno, I was going to make you my second in command, but seeing as you’re whiny, Nex here gets the job instead.”

“This sucks.” Furno 2.0 pouted.

“That’s exactly why I  just named Nex my deputy.” Fire Lord told him.

 

“You called?” Jetbug hissed, slouching over.

“Yes. Go find me that Rotor and his Meltdown. I want them both jailed as soon as possible.”

“Yes sir.”

“If you don’t find them, I’ll sick Nex on you.”

 

Jetbug glanced nervously at Nex before taking off. Nex stared after him, smiling evilly.

 

Meanwhile, Under the Bed....

 

“Uh, Tahu?” Gresh Stars whispered.

“Yeah?” Tahu Stars whispered back.

“Are you scared?”

“Yes. If I could, I’d be-”

“I don’t need to barf, thank you very much.”

 

“Whatever.” Tahu Stars rolled his eyes. “But yeah, that’s kinda creepy.”

“You know....” Gresh Stars whispered thoughtfully. “If we rescued the old Hero Factory sets, they might help us defeat the 2.0s!”

“Yeah. Then we have to fight the 2010 sets ourselves.”

“...Good point.”

 

Back to Where Fire Lord is

 

“Hey! You!” a voice yelled.

Fire Lord glanced up to the bed to see a Toa about to leap at him.

“Who are you?” he asked.

 

“My name is Xemnas!” the Toa yelled, lunging at him. “I’m your doom!”

The guest star slammed into the ground behind him with a grunt; he’d overshot. Fire Lord chuckled.

“Not the brightest knife in the shed, are you?” he laughed.

 

“It’s sharpest, not brightest, numb nuts.” Xemnas replied, rolling his eyes and standing.

Fire Lord’s eyes narrowed.

“You want doom, I’ll give it to you. On a silver platter.”

 

Out in the Hall

 

Tahu Mata snuck into the bedroom, watching the furious battle between Xemnas and Fire Lord. As he drew near to the bed, he was yanked under, a hand covering his mouth.

“It’s Gresh Stars!” a voice hissed. “Don’t yell!”

The hand released him, and Tahu Mata immediately punched the green set in the face, knocking him out cold before crawling over to Tahu Stars.

 

“Yes?”

“The fact that this Fire Lord guy is able to hold his own against a creation like that worries me.” His arch nemesis told him, completely ignoring the fact that he could easily stab Tahu Mata in the back.

“So?”

“Are you really that dim witted?” Tahu Stars asked.

“No.” Tahu Mata glared at him. “Of course not.”

 

“There’s an orange hero.” Tahu Stars continued. “He tore through one of the 2010 heroes and then one of the 2010 villains as if they were plastic.”

“That’s because we are plastic.” Tahu Mata pointed out.

“Oh, good grief....” Tahu Stars face palmed. “Dude, you and me were nearly slaughtered by the red 2010 hero, remember?”

 

“Yeah. I’m still kind of embarrassed about that.” Tahu Mata replied, frowning.

“That was the hero he took care of. Popped his head off like it was a cork in a wine bottle.” Tahu Stars explained.

“Yeah, I think I’m starting to see what you mean, actually.”

 

Suddenly, Xemnas was slammed in beside them, feebly stirring.

“Oh dear.” Tahu Mata said.

Xemnas woke up, spotted them, and then threw them out in front of him. Fire Lord grabbed them and handed them gently to Nex, while grabbing Xemnas and flinging him towards the body of Furno.

 

“WAIT!” Fire Lord bellowed. “That weapon is really cool!”

He wrenched Furno’s weapon away, and immediately placed it on his wrist.

“OH YEAH!” he nodded furiously, pointing it at Xemnas.

 

The creation dodged the blast of flame, jumping at Fire Lord. The titan flipped the jet of fire around, cleanly disintegrating Xemnas’ head and crushing his body as he jumped on it.

“There! All better.” Fire Lord nodded, smiling. “Oh yeah, Nex, you can hang out with those guys.”

 

“Oh dear.” Tahu Stars said.

Nex threw them against the wall, grinning maliciously. He separated his pincers, one in each hand, as he stalked towards them.

 

“This guy is insane.” Tahu Stars said casually, as if it were not blatantly obvious that he was about to die.

“I know, right?!” Tahu Mata replied.

“See you guys later.” Nex told them. “After life.”

“You know what?” Tahu Stars asked.

“What?” Tahu Mata replied.

 

“I do believe that we just got Game Overed.”

“Underwhere and Overthere, here we come!”

Nex stabbed at them, one pincer for each Tahu.

Part 8 – The Horrendous Coffee Pot

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“Is there any news on Tahu yet?” Strakk asked.

“No, not yet.” Lewa Mata replied. “Nothing... and it looks like Tahu Stars is missing as well.”

“Why would we care about Tahu Stars?”

“I dunno.” Lewa Mata shrugged. “You wanna take a team down to look for them?”

“Uh... not really....” Strakk trailed off.

“Thanks.” Lewa Mata clapped him on the back. “Take Gelu, Tarix, and Karzahni with you.”

 

The Toa Mata of air the left, leaving Strakk to slump to the ground, muttering about life sucking.

“Hey, Strakk?” Tahu Nuva approached. “I need you to go look for Zaktan for me, okay?”

“Need me to take anyone with me?” the Glatorian asked, wondering why the Toa Nuva wasn’t asking why he was lying on the ground.

“Actually, yes!” Tahu Nuva grinned. “How about Gelu, Tarix, and Karzahni?”

 

Before Strakk could protest, Tahu Nuva had thanked him and walked off; the Glatorian began to sob, thumping the ground with his fists as Kopaka Nuva and his two Skrall Stars friends stepped in front of him.

“Strakk?” Kopaka asked, sounding concerned.

“Yeah?” Strakk sniffled, wiping several tears out of his eye.

“I’m worried about Lewa Nuva; he went off on his own to look for Tahu Mata, and he hasn’t returned....” Kopaka Nuva trailed off. “Could you take Gelu, Tarix, and Karzahni and go look for him?”

 

“Uh... well....” Strakk coughed. “I... suppose....”

“Great!” Kopaka beamed, smacking him roughly on the back. “See you later!”

As the Toa Nuva of ice and his two Skrall Stars walked away, Strakk fell flat to the floor and wailed, wondering why he had suddenly become the one to torture.

 

“I MEAN, COME ON!” He screamed. “KARZAHNI IS INSANE! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD PICK HIM FOR A RESCUE MISSION?!”

“Excuse me?” a voice said quietly, as a giant hand grabbed Strakk by the throat and lifted him off the ground. “Did you just... call me insane? Did I hear that right?”

“Uh....” Strakk croaked. “No, no, not at all! Why would I ever say that?”

“That’s what I’d like to ask you.” Karzahni whispered furiously, shoving Strakk against the wall. “Why would you say that?”

 

“Well, for one thing, you’re certainly not as good at being funny as Irnakk.” Tahu Stars informed him, walking by. “And for two things... well, no one really likes you.”

“What?!” Karzahni yelled, dropping Strakk. “I’m one of the best sets ever!”

“If you say so.” Tahu Stars replied doubtfully.

 

“Wait a moment.” Strakk spluttered. “You’re Tahu Stars- you’re alive- but then where’s Tahu Mata?”

“Oh, shut up.” Tahu Stars said to him irritably. “Karzahni and I are trying to have a civilized conversation, thank you very much.”

“Doesn’t look civilized.” Strakk muttered.

Karzahni responded by throwing him across the room, before turning back to Tahu Stars and continuing the conversation.

 

Meanwhile, in the Kitchens

 

“...and then we ran like crazy, ducking under several toy trains that seemed determined to murder us, jumped a couple of roller coasters, flew up to the roof using Rotor, fell back in through a window, and then I ended up here.” Tahu Mata finished.

“What...?” Iruini Hagah trailed off. “You only just arrived here!”

“Yeah!” Norik Hagah exclaimed. “Why are you finishing your tale?!”

“Oh, oops.” Tahu Mata sighed. “I’ve spoiled the ending now, so I’m not going to start over again.”

 

“Yeah, whatever.” Iruini muttered. “Now follow us, you’re going to prison.”

“No way!” Tahu Mata cried. “I just escaped death!”

“I don’t care.” Iruini snorted.

Tahu Mata replied by smashing him into the cupboard; the coffee pot fell off the edge and landed on the special edition Toa of air, utterly destroying him.

 

“Well, hopefully that wasn’t too painful.” Tahu Mata said, cringing.

“You’ll pay for that.” Norik said darkly.

However, three cups of coffee then burst out of the coffee pot, incinerating Norik and leaving a pile of parts behind.

 

“That doesn’t make any sense!” Tahu Mata exclaimed. “If he was incinerated, then he’s ashes! Not parts!”

“Shut it, you.” A voice rumbled behind him.

Tahu Mata froze, slowly turning around; sure enough, Irnakk stood behind him, grinning maliciously.

“Would you like to tell me where Tahu Stars is?” Irnakk asked. “Or would you like me to eat you?”

“Uh....” Tahu Mata grinned nervously. “Well, I’m not exactly sure... but I’m sure that I could find out soon enough....”

“Nah.” Irnakk shrugged. “I’m just gonna eat you.”

“Crud.”

Part 9 – Over and Over and Over Again

 

The Kitchen

 

Tahu Mata wrenched his arms from Irnakk, and took the opportunity to flee; or, he tried to. Instead, he crashed into Takanuva Stars, who forced him back into the arms of Irnakk, who was now mysteriously five times larger than he had been before.

 

“This doesn’t make any sense!” Tahu Mata cried.

“Be quite, Lewa.” Irnakk ordered. “I’m too busy dunking you in ketchup.”

Tahu Mata spluttered as he was dunked into mustard, and then wrapped in a tortilla wrap, surrounded by lettuce.

 

“What are you doing to me?!” he cried.

“I SAID SHUT UP, LEWA!” Irnakk bellowed.

“Why are you calling me Lewa?!” Tahu Mata yelled.

“BECAUSE YOU’RE GREEN!”

 

Tahu Mata glanced down; he was, in fact, green; if it wasn’t for his sword (and, he supposed, his mask), he’d be a complete clone of Lewa Mata.

“How is this even possible?!”

“SHUT UP!”

 

Tahu Mata fell out into open air, to find himself falling down towards a roaring fire.

“See you, sucker!” Kopaka Nuva called down. “Finally! Tahu Stars will be so pleased!”

“Wait, what?!” Tahu Mata muttered. “But he’s on my... oh... I get it....”

 

The Real Kitchen

 

Tahu Mata sat bolt upright, panting and drenched in sweat.

“Wait, sweat?!” he exclaimed. “How is that possible?!”

“Oh, it’s not sweat.” Takanuva Stars told him, approaching. “It’s hot water. We just dunked you in it.”

“Why?!”

“Well, you fell into some spilt ketchup, and we needed to clean you off.” Takanuva Stars explained.

“Am I dreaming?”

“Do you honestly expect me to BLARGH?!”

 

The Really Real Kitchen?

 

Tahu Mata woke up, to find himself being dragged along by someone. Glancing down, he saw that he had an axe and was coloured blue.

“Oh, not again!”

 

Good Grief.

 

For what felt like the fourth time, Tahu Mata awoke; he was being dragged again, but this time he appeared to be completely normal.

 

Of course, he didn’t really trust his mind to be completely sane at this point, so who knew.

“Who’s dragging me? Am I in the Kitchen? Was I captured by Irnakk? Did I lose the battle miserably?” he babbled.

“I am dragging you.” A voice rumbled in response. “You are in the Kitchen. I did capture you. And to say you lost miserably is a vast understatement.”

“It is not!”

“Do I need to punch you again?”

“Uh... no thanks.” Tahu Mata said quickly.

“That’s what I thought.”

 

Meanwhile, the Spare Bedroom:

 

Tahu Stars dusted off his hands, having just finished dumping Karzahni into the garbage bin.

“What a loser.” He muttered.

“HEY! THERE HE IS!” A voice shouted.

Tahu Stars glanced up, chuckled nervously, and then bolted.

 

Later... Much Later....

 

“So, where exactly are we going, Strakk?” Tarix asked.

Strakk sighed. “Wherever Tahu Mata and Lewa Nuva are. Oh yeah, and wherever Zaktan is, as well.”

“Why are we in the Kitchen?” Gelu asked.

Strakk froze.

“What?”

“I asked, why are we in the kitchen?” Gelu repeated.

“Oh dear.”

 

A second later, a green cloud had swept into them, carrying them away from where Irnakk and Takanuva Mistika had landed, cursing as they missed.

“What’s going on?!” Gelu screamed. “Let us down! I’d rather fight!”

“NOOOOOO!” Strakk bellowed.

 

The cloud released them with a sniff, dropping them right in front of Takanuva Mistika and Irnakk.

“Time for death, foolish Glatorian.” Takanuva Mistika grinned evilly. “You’ll go well with Irnakk’s Tahu Stew.”

 

“Today is a bad day for us to die!” Strakk shouted.

“Amen, brother!” Tarix yelled back.

“I AM NOT YOUR BROTHER!” Strakk bellowed furiously. “I AM FROM A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SECTION OF SPHERUS-MAGNA! NOW YOU WILL SHUT UP!”

“Whoa there, buddy.” Tarix responded. “Might want to take a couple pills... and maybe go get some counselling.”  

 

“Yeah... I honestly don’t want to eat you anymore.” Takanuva Mistika put in, wrinkling his nose.

“I’ll have you know our entire army is like this!” Strakk snapped.

Takanuva Mistika turned to Irnakk.

“Go get Tahu Mata and bring him here. I am NOT eating him.”

“That was easy.” Tarix commented.

 

Irnakk kicked him as he walked by, sending Tarix flying through the air and straight into an air vent. Gelu rushed over to help him up, tripping on the way. Strakk sighed and shook his head.

“Your army is so lame.” Takanuva Mistika commented.

“I know.”

“You should join ours.”

“No thanks. Lame is safe, exactly how I like it.”

“Wuss.”

 

They were interrupted by Irnakk leading Tahu Mata out, just as Zaktan reformed beside them.

“Let’s go.” Tahu Mata ordered. “Any sign of Lewa Nuva?”

“No.” Strakk said.

“He’s back in the Spare Bedroom.” Zaktan said casually. “Lewa Mata came looking for you instead.”

“Where is he?”

 

Zaktan pointed to the roof, where Lewa Mata was hanging from what looked like a Visorak web. Tahu Mata sighed.

“I’m still dreaming, aren’t I?”

 

We Now Return to Real Life.

 

Tahu Mata awoke to find himself tied to a pole, with Lewa Mata right beside him.

“What is going on?” he asked. “I’m still dreaming, right? This is a nightmare?”

“Uh... no.” Lewa Mata responded. “We’re literally being dragged to our doom by Nex and Fire Lord.”

“What have they got to do with anything?! How is this not a dream?!”

“Well, you see, Zaktan and I rescued you from Irnakk while Strakk, Tarix, and Gelu kept him busy.” Lewa Mata explained. “Then Takanuva Stars and Tahu Stars ran after us. We panicked, and Fire Lord and Nex found us, and now we’re going to die.”

 

“No. I refuse to believe it.” Tahu Mata sniffed.

“Oh, I’d believe it all right.” Tahu Stars told him as he was dragged beside them. “Trust me, if you’d been face down in the carpet for the last five minutes, you’d know you’re not dreaming.”

“I see.”

 

“Shut up!” Nex ordered. “I don’t want another sound, or else- what was that?”

Nex and Fire Lord paused; behind them, the sounds of several 2.0 Hero Factory sets were heard.

“I’m kinda scared now.” Furno 2.0 whimpered.

“You better be!” Meltdown snarled, slamming into him. “I’ve got a thing or two to say to you bubs!”

 

Before the other 2.0 sets could react, Rotor had arrived as well, smashing into Surge 2.0 and sending him flying into the wall.

“There we go.” Rotor said proudly, sounding satisfied.

“Where’s Jetbug?!” Nex spat.

“Oh... somewhere.” Rotor responded.

“Get them!” Fire Lord seethed.

 

Before the 2.0 sets could obey the order, several blasts of fire had freed Tahu Mata, Lewa Mata, Takanuva Stars, and Tahu Stars.

“That’s it.” Fire Lord hissed. “I’m coming myself.”

“Huh?” Tahu Mata asked. “That makes no sense.”

 

A crash behind him, along with the squeals of terror from several Bionicles, made him freeze.

“It makes perfect sense, Tahu.” ALMIGHTY hissed. “Now, let’s see what you’re made of.”

“Hey, Lewa?” Tahu Mata whispered.

“Yeah?”

“Did Zaktan ever tell you how to defeat this guy?”

“No.”

 

“It’s easy enough.” Zaktan told them. “You just stab him right HERE!”

The Skakdi poked ALMIGHTY sharply in the back of the neck. The former ruler of comedies groaned, cursing, before exploding and showering everyone present in parts.

“Wow.” Zaktan seemed thoroughly unimpressed. “That was even more anti-climatic then last time. Good grief.”

 

He turned into a cloud again, causing Evo 2.0 to shoot through him and into the wall.

“Nice try, but no cigar.” Zaktan told him. “I can’t be killed.”

Nex 2.0 and Fire Lord chuckled menacingly.

“We don’t need to kill you.” Fire Lord hissed. “As far as I’m concerned, everyone else can die, because you’re useless then.”

Tahu vs. Tahu

Invasion, Episode 2

Part 10 – The ALMIGHTY Finale

 

The House

 

“Why exactly are we the ones fighting this guy?” Tahu Stars asked, dodging an attack from Fire Lord.

“Because we’re the leaders, stupid.” Tahu Mata replied.

“Oh, please.” Tahu Stars snapped. “I’m hardly stupid, I’ve survived this long.”

 

A split second later Fire Lord had grabbed him and chucked the Toa into the wall, where he collapsed and did not get up.

“You suck!” Tahu Mata exclaimed. “Weakling!”

Tahu Stars, of course, didn’t reply. Tahu Mata then joined him by the wall with a crunch.

“Ow....”

 

“Now then,” Fire Lord began, cracking his knuckles as he approached them, “Where shall we start?”

He was unable to continue past that; Tahu Stars suddenly leapt into the air and grabbed onto his head, trying to twist it around until he saw that it was double sided.

“That’s just cheating!” he complained as Fire Lord grabbed him by the neck and held him squirming in the air.

 

“Shut it.” Fire Lord ordered. “ALMIGHTY tires of your... no, I tire of your presence. For I am ALMIGHTY.”

“ALMIGHTY just died, you nincompoop.” Tahu Mata pointed out. “Zaktan killed him.”

“ALMIGHTY never dies, not really.” Fire Lord chuckled darkly.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Tahu Stars responded. “He just exploded.”

I just exploded, you mean.” Fire Lord grinned. “Did you honestly believe that with Zaktan here, I wouldn’t have a backup plan?”

Tahu Mata groaned.

“Fire Lord is me. Fire Lord does not exist. ALMIGHTY is all there is. And now ALMIGHTY thinks it is far past the time that you should’ve died.”

 

“Oh dear.”

 

Nearby....

 

“This is hardly fair!” Lewa Mata cried, dodging away from another attack by Stormer 2.0. “You guys are stronger than like, five of us Bionicles as it is!”

“Makes you easier to kill.” Stormer 2.0 grinned.

“Besides, why are you complaining?” Takanuva Stars questioned. “I’m the one fighting Nex here!”

“Not anymore.” Nex grinned maliciously.

 

The next moment, Takanuva Stars was sent flying into Lewa Mata; both Toa crashed into the wall and ceased all movement. Nex nodded towards them.

“Take care of them.” He ordered.

Stormer 2.0 nodded, making his way through the battle to them. Nex, meanwhile, began making his way to Tahu Mistika, Onua Mistika, Gali Mistika, Takanuva Mistika, and Kopaka Phantoka, all of whom were battling with a newly revived Jetbug and Nitroblast.

 

“Hey, punks!” Nex yelled angrily. “You want a piece of me?!”

Kopaka Phantoka turned around and managed to narrowly dodge Nex’s attack, losing one of his wings; Takanuva Mistika wasn’t so lucky. Nex drilled right through him, before collapsing to the ground on the other side. Takanuva Mistika swayed for a couple seconds, a look of shock on his face, before falling to the ground, crumbling into spare parts as he did so.

 

“TAKANUVA! NO!” Tahu Mistika bellowed.

Onua Mistika shoved the Toa of fire away, saving him from Nitroblast’s fist. However, Nex took the opportunity while he was distracted to leap over and tear the Toa Mistika of earth apart.

“You... you’ll pay for that.” Tahu Mistika snarled.

Nex smiled at him.

“I don’t think I will, actually.”

 

By the Front Door

 

Tahu Mata, Lewa Mata, and Takanuva Stars had their backs up against the door, next to the cat flap that had been conveniently placed there for plot purposes. Tahu Stars was running around in circles around Fire Lord, screaming his head off.

“When do you think he’s gonna stop?” Takanuva Stars asked.

“Hopefully never!” Lewa Mata said gleefully, shoving a mouthful of greasy popcorn into his mouth. “This is the best thing I’ve seen all year!”

“It’s like, February.”

“I know that.”

 

“Psst... hey, guys.” It was Pridak, sidling over to them with Mantax and Zaktan.

“What are you doing?!” Tahu Mata hissed.

“We have an idea for getting rid of- oh dear.”

 

“I hate it when people talk about me behind my back.” Fire Lord said dangerously, standing above them with a squealing Tahu Stars in his grip. “Do you know what I should do now?”

“Yeah.” Pridak responded, shoving Fire Lord backwards. “I’MA GONNA SHOVE YOU RIGHTA OUT OF THATA CAT FLAP!”

 

The white Barraki raced forwards, grabbed Fire Lord, and went to swing him around like Mario might’ve done to Bowser. Only, Pridak was exceptionally smaller than Fire Lord and did not possess super human strength, so he failed miserably.

“You disappoint me.” Tahu Stars told him.

“Says the leader who screams at the first sign of danger.” Pridak retorted.

“Shut up, both of you.” Fire Lord snapped.

 

“Alright, now that he’s distracted....” Mantax whispered.

Tahu Mata beckoned to him, and Mantax quickly leaned over and whispered something into his ear; Tahu Mata’s eyes narrowed in fury, and then switched to determination as he nodded.

 

“Let’s do this.”

 

The Battle with Nex

 

Nex successfully destroyed Gali Mistika once Nitroblast and Jetbug had gone elsewhere to fight; Tahu Mistika and Kopaka Phantoka remained, dodging around him repeatedly, though quickly tiring.

“It looks like Tahu Mata has a plan.” Kopaka Phantoka panted. “Let’s... get Nex over there.”

 

Tahu Mistika nodded in agreement; together, they both suddenly lunged forward at Nex, who leapt backwards in surprise, smashing into Fire Lord.

“NEX, YOU DOLT!” Fire Lord roared, flying straight into the cat flap with Pridak and Tahu Stars still in his hands.

“That was easy.” Tahu Mata commented.

 

Nex grabbed him by the throat and hurled him out; Takanuva Stars and Lewa Mata followed. Nex then leapt through himself, leaving the battle to wage on inside.

“Should we help them?” Kopaka Phantoka asked.

“Nah.” Mantax shrugged. “I’m sure they’ll be perfectly alright.”

 

Outside the House

 

Tahu Mata flung Nex off of him, rolling away into the stirring body of Tahu Stars, who had evidently been knocked out cold.

“Wimp.” Tahu Mata muttered, standing to his feet.

“Hey.” Zaktan appeared beside him. “How’s it going?”

“Not so good. Fire Lord is ALMIGHTY, and Nex is pure evil in set form.”

“Ah. Well, that time machine is broken, so if you push them through, they’ll either end up in the future, which is good, an alternate dimension, which is better, or the past, which will suck.” Zaktan explained.

 

“Not the past, or I’d know.” Tahu Mata told him. “So it’s either the future or an alternate dimension.”

“Just so you know, Fire Lord is all that is left of ALMIGHTY. Kill him here, and he should be gone from this place for good.”

“This place?”

“Yup. Which is all that matters.”

“Good point.”

 

Tahu Mata helped Tahu Stars to his feet, as Pridak flew by them bellowing a stream of profanities.

“We need to shove them into the machine.” He told the Toa.

“Fine.” Tahu Stars sighed.

 

They both ran forward, as Lewa Mata and Takanuva Stars were thrown at them by Nex. They caught the two Toa, stumbled, and ended up running straight into Nex and Fire Lord. The two Hero Factory 2.0 sets vanished into the machine, followed quickly by Tahu Mata, Tahu Stars, Lewa Mata, and Takanuva Stars.

 

“Wow.” Zaktan muttered. “That was anti-climatic as well. This comedy sucks.”

“You’re kidding, right?” Pridak stepped beside him. “Curses. They’re all gone. Now this war will have to end.”

“Yes, it is a terrible day indeed.” Zaktan said solemnly.

“Agreed.” Pridak clapped him on the shoulder. “This shall forever be known as the day the war was most horrendously ended, and the needless loss of countless innocents ended.”

“That... was so disrespectful it’s not even funny.” Zaktan told him.

“Says the guy who can’t die and never will.”

The End... of the Invasion.

PSA #3 – The Mataus

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“Hey everyone!” Tahu Mata exclaimed. “I’m Tahu Mata from the comedy Tahu vs. Tahu.”

“And I am not Tahu Mata.” Pridak responded.

Tahu Mata glanced at him before continuing.

 

“As you may or may not have noticed-” he began.

“And if you haven’t noticed, you live under a rock.” Pridak interrupted.

“-the Comedy Critics Club has recently been running the first annual CCC Awards.” Tahu Mata finished.

“Or the Mataus for short.” Pridak told him.

 

“What? That doesn’t make any sense!” Tahu Mata retorted.

“Sure it does.” Pridak shrugged. “Usually when Matau is in a comedy, he’s funny.”

“It should be the Tahus.” Tahu Mata responded. “I mean seriously, I’ve been in about every comedy ever made.”

“Yeah, you’re really cliché.” Pridak told him.

 

“Anyway.” Tahu Mata began. “These awards are for all comedies and comedies of 2010.”

“And if you don’t live under a rock, you’ll notice that Tahu vs. Tahu launched in 2010.” Pridak explained. “And we’re nominated for a People’s Choice Award. Needless to say, we expect you to vote for us.”

“Otherwise we might just self destruct.” Tahu Mata threatened.

 

Pridak turned to him.

“Not sure that’s a great idea.” The Barraki told him. “We’re kinda self-destructing already.”

Tahu Mata moaned. “Well then, we’ll... uh... be cancelled?”

“Yep, that’s a nice threat.” The white Barraki agreed. “Especially when there are so many other comedies that can occupy their time instead.”

“SO WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?!” Tahu Mata bellowed.

“Entering you in for a cliché award.” Pridak sniggered. “You just had the typical Tahu explosion.”

 

“Shut up, before I go all Burnmad on you.” Tahu Mata seethed.

“Go for it! Use an emote!” Pridak taunted.

:burnmad:” Tahu Mata emoted.

Pridak sniggered.

 

“Okay guys, seriously.” Lewa Mata stepped up. “Get back to work.”

Tahu Mata sighed before turning back to the camera.

“So the CCC Awards-”

“Mataus.”

“So the Mataus are a way for the CCC to determine which comedy is the best of all time, which is the best of 2010, that sort of thing.” Tahu Mata explained.

 

“And like we said before, we expect you to vote for us.” Pridak threatened. “Or I shall blindfold you and then force feed you my rubber squid.”

Tahu Mata shuddered.

 

“That’s a wrap!” Lewa Mata called. “Alright, let’s go get lunch.”

“Nah, I don’t need any.” Pridak shook his head, snacking on a squid. “I’ve got lunch here.”

Tahu Mata shuddered again.

“I am so glad you’re not on my side.” He replied. “And I hope I get to kill you.”

“Typical Tahu.” Pridak muttered, rolling his eyes. “Always threatening people.”

 

With that, the Barraki leader walked away, leaving a seething Tahu Mata behind him.

“Dude, calm down.” Lewa Mata said, backing away. “What’s wrong with you?”

Tahu Mata shrugged. “I dunno. The script told me to be like this.”

“I hope it isn’t permanent.”

“So do I.”

PSA #4 – Q & A with the Tahus

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

“Hey guys!” Tahu Mata waved to the camera. “I’m Tahu Mata from the ultimate comedy of BZPower, Tahu vs. Tahu!”

“And I’m Tahu Stars, who does not believe we are the ultimate comedy of anything.” Tahu Stars said. “Recently, we’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding the comedy.”

“Actually, we’ve been getting them for awhile.” Tahu Mata replied.

“Regardless,” Tahu Stars shrugged. “We’ll be answering some of the questions we tracked down here. Please excuse how much this is going to look like an ask comedy.”

“Because it was your idea.” Tahu Mata sniffed.

 

“Alright then... let’s get started.”

“Biobeast has asked us the following questions.” Tahu Star read.

 

1. Did Hero Factory build me in season two, or did the Vezons?

 

2. Why is Strakk such a pushover?

 

3. Why didn’t Tahu Nuva try to take over the house? Why didn’t Tahu Mistika?

 

“Well, the answer to question one is HERO FACTORY.” Tahu Mata responded, scratching off the first question. “As to the third... well, Tahu Nuva was just awesome like that. Plus, there weren’t very many of us back then anyways, so it didn’t really matter. Tahu Mistika just plain sucks, so that’s why he didn’t. We nearly kicked him out just for being ugly.”

 

“Oh, no wonder he was the first to join me!” Tahu Stars exclaimed. “I’ll be sure to have a nice long talk with him later....”

“And about Strakk: I dunno. Why do you need to know?” Tahu Mata countered. “EXACTLY!”

“Watch it there, bud.” Tahu Stars patted Tahu Mata on the shoulder. “Last thing we need is you losing our fans.”

 

“Whatever.” Tahu Mata rolled his eyes. “Kapurkar has asked the following questions....”

 

1. How did Tahu Mata get to the Kitchen, and how did Tahu Stars get to the Spare Bedroom?

 

2. Did you have to include ALMIGHTY in this comedy?

 

“The answer to question two is: yes.” Tahu Stars replied. “Dude, he’s ALMIGHTY. What kind of a comedy would we be without him?”

“A better one.” Tahu Mata responded.

“I concede defeat.” Tahu Stars said, slapping himself across the face. “Anyway... for question one... well, I ended up fleeing down the stairs with Tahu Mata, but ended up tripping and falling down the whole way. Then I figured, why not?”

 

“That was terrible...” Tahu Mata groaned.

“I know!” Tahu Stars exclaimed. “It hurt my back! A lot!”

“No... your story telling.”

“I told all there was to tell. But I do need to know how you possibly took the wrong turn into the kitchen.”

 

“Well, Nex was exiting the bedroom, so I dived into the ventilation system. I was in there for like, five hours before I found my way to the kitchen.” Tahu Mata explained.

“That should’ve been in the comedy.”

“No thank you.”

 

“Anyway... Zeskii asked the following question way back a long time ago.” Tahu Mata announced. “And in a galaxy far away.”

“That joke is overused.”

 

1. Why did you make the beginning so much like Toy Story?

 

“You’re right... why is this even here? How am I supposed to know?!” Tahu Stars yelled. “I mean, leave me alone! Let me live in peace!”

“Good grief, calm down!” Tahu Mata said, alarmed.

“If you think about it, we’re actually based a lot more on Red vs. Blue.” Tahu Stars said thoughtfully, returning to normal. “Two armies fighting each other... a third army that kicks the other armies’ butts in the beginning and then fails miserably... PSAs... specials... miniseries... other stuff....”

 

“Yeah... whatever you say....” Tahu Mata rolled his eyes sceptically. “Anyway, the final question is from Toa Zehvor MT.”

 

1. WHY DID YOU MAKE ALMIGHTY SUCH AN AWFUL CHARACTER?! WHY?! I HATE HIM NOW! HE WAS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER! AND I HATE HIM!

 

“Somehow I think we just took his words WAAAAAAY out of context.” Tahu Stars said, reading the question. “I think he’s going to be more than a little angry.”

“Plus we don’t know the answer to that question, which sucks.” Tahu Mata sad faced. “So what do we do?”

 

“Let’s make him a cake!” Tahu Stars suggested.

“Nah, he hates Mario games.” Tahu Mata shook his head.

“How about... an Okamiden cake?”

“I JUST SAID HE HATES MARIO!”

“How about... an Okamiden wristwatch?”

“That sounds good.” Tahu Mata nodded. “We’ll mail it sometime within the next millennia in a different dimension.”

 

“Or we could just give it to him when he guest stars.” Tahu Stars pointed out.

“Good idea.” Tahu Mata agreed. “We’ll do that.”

 

“Well, that was some of your questions answered!” Tahu Stars turned to the camera. “Stay tuned for some awesome events soon, that involve different dimensions and time travelling!”

 

The screen went black as Tahu Mata punched his rival in the face.

“What was that for?!”

“Spoilers!”

Special #2 – More Jellybeans

 

The Kitchen

 

“So, what are you guys doing?” Ahkmou asked, stepping over.

“We’re deciding which jellybeans are the best, and which are the worst.” Kazi replied. “So far, it’s unanimous that the black ones suck.”

“I’m telling you, they don’t suck!” Garan protested.

“Aw, ignore them, Garan.” Tehutti shrugged. “They can’t help that they’re racist.”

“Yes they can!” Garan exclaimed.

“We’re not racist!” Kazi retorted.

 

“So which ones are best so far?” Ahkmou questioned.

“The white ones.” Kazi replied.

Tehutti shook his head and Garan sighed.

“See what I mean?!” Garan muttered.

 

“You know, that’s another thing.” Tehutti remarked. “The new Pokemon games are called Black and White. Not only is that sure to produce racist results itself, but what are they gonna call the third game? Pokemon Grey version? That sounds retarded!”

“Indeed.” Garan sighed.

 

“Right....”Ahkmou trailed off. “Velika, how about you?”

“Jellybeans suck.” Velika told him. “Suck more than Brussels sprouts.”

At the mentioning of the most terrible vegetable, Balta and Defilak both retched and collapsed, rolling off the counter and landing on the floor.

 

“Jellybeans don’t suck!” Dalu retorted, grabbing Velika by the throat. “Now YOU WILL EAT THEM!”

“Ahkmou! Help me!” Velika cried desperately.

Before anyone could react, Dalu grabbed a fistful of black jellybeans and stuffed them down Velika’s throat. Ahkmou winced, and everyone else immediately fell silent, grabbing the nearest heart shaped box of candy to offer to the Ga-Matoran.

 

“Just don’t feed us those things!” they cried.

“THEY AREN’T THAT BAD!” Garan yelled. “Argh!”

Dalu slapped him off the counter; he was soon followed by Tehutti.

“Alright, enough’s enough already!” Ahkmou exclaimed. “I will pick a random jellybean with my eyes closed. That jellybean will then be known as the best flavour of jellybean ever made. Agreed?”

“Agreed!” the others said simultaneously.

 

“Alright.” Ahkmou took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He plunged his hand into the bag, closing around one jellybean. He already knew what it was by the screams of fury and distress. Sure enough, it was a black one.

 

“So, uh... see you guys for this next year, eh?” he grinned nervously.

“Die.” Dalu said in a deep, evil voice.

Ahkmou gulped.

“Chocolates?”

“Die.”

 

“MAHAMA MIA!” Ahkmou screamed, running for his life.

“GET BACK HERE, YOU DWEEB!”

The End of Special #2.

Special #3 – Vultraz and Ahkmou’s Excellent Adventure

 

Somewhere in the Backyards:

 

“So, where are we exactly?” Ahkmou asked.

“Precisely eight years, fifteen days, and eleven seconds into the future.” Vultraz responded.

“Sure hasn’t changed much, has it?” Takua asked, glancing around.

“You dolt, do you seriously think we’re in the future?!” Ahkmou responded.

“Uh... yes.” Takua decided.

“Oh my god, you’re so stupid....” Ahkmou trailed off, muttering something about toenails.

 

“Unfortunately, it would appear Vultraz is telling the truth.” Garan told them. “Or at least, most of it. We’re actually also five days further into the future then he said.”

“You’re kidding, right?” Vultraz turned to face him. “I was joking! How did you find out?!”

“Well, seeing as, on our way out, we walked through the giant time travelling machine that says when we were and when we are, I think it’s pretty obvious.” Garan answered.

 

Vultraz groaned, clutching his forehead.

“So you’re saying that I’m stuck in the future with you dweebs?!” Dalu exclaimed. “Who convinced me to come on this stupid trip?!”

“Can’t we just walk back through it?!” Ahkmou asked.

“Apparently not.” Tehutti called from the machine. “Looks like we broke it.”

 

“HOW DID WE BREAK SOMETHING THAT BIG?!” Vultraz bellowed.

“Looks like someone ate some of it on the way through.” Tehutti observed.

“What?” Takua protested. “I was hungry!”

“I swear, I am going to grab a blade of grass and murder you with it!” Vultraz seethed, storming towards the Ta-Matoran and Pewku.

 

“Vultraz, wait!” Tehutti called. “I just need some duct tape, and we can get back!”

“Figures.” Ahkmou muttered, rolling his eyes.

“So let’s go back inside, then.” Takua suggested nervously, gulping and backing Pewku away from Vultraz.

 

“I’m afraid that wouldn’t be advised.” Tehutti replied, approaching. “It’s been eight years. Who knows what’s happened since then? Perhaps Tahu Stars is a tyrannical dictator. Maybe Hero Factory slaughtered us all. Maybe everyone lives peacefully in the sewers.”

“Why would we live in the sewers?” Garan asked.

 

Tehutti shrugged.

“You see the point, though?” he pressed.

“Yes, sadly.” Vultraz said. “We’re in the future; if we find out what happens, we’ll be trampled for information when we get back.”

“So then where do we get duct tape?” Garan questioned.

 

“Hold on a minute!” Dalu ordered. “There’s just one thing I want to know: WHY IN MERLIN’S PANTS WOULD WE HAVE A GIANT TIME TRAVELLING MACHINE JUST SITTING OUT ON THE FRONT DOORSTEP FOR MORE THANT EIGHT YEARS?!”

 

The other matoran backed away a couple steps, all of them trembling. Takua and Garan passed out, while Tehutti tripped over a conveniently placed rock and fell into the duck pond.

“Tehutti!” Ahkmou exclaimed.

“You know, I wouldn’t really care if he died.” Vultraz told them, running over. “Except for the fact that he’s the one that knows how everything works.”

 

“We are royally screwed over now.” Ahkmou sighed. “I’ll go in, and-”

“You seriously think we’re sending you in?!” Vultraz laughed. “Dude, in case you hadn’t noticed, you’re brown. That means you’re stone. That means you sink.”

“I’m insulted.”

“Doesn’t matter. Dalu, get over here!”

 

“What is it?” Dalu grouched, walking over.

“Get in there!”

“What?!” she screeched. “No way! It’s disgusting!”

“Thanks for volunteering.” Vultraz replied, patting her on the back. “Now in you go!”

 

Vultraz shoved the Ga-Matoran into the water; she came up once, sputtering curses towards them, and then dived down to fetch Tehutti.

“You do realize how much you’re going to regret doing that, right?” Ahkmou asked.

“Good point.” Vultraz nodded. “Cover me while I get a head start.”

 

Vultraz vanished, rocketing towards the house. Ahkmou groaned and sat on the ground as Dalu surfaced, throwing Tehutti into a nearby rose bush.

“Where is that shadow matoran?!” she said through clenched teeth. “I’m gonna kill him!”

“Actually, he just died of a heart attack.” Ahkmou said casually as Tehutti began screaming in pain. “So problem solved.”

 

“What problem?” Garan asked, waking up.

“AUGH, MY FACE!” Tehutti screamed.

“Shut up!” Garan yelled back. “Say, where’s Vultraz?”

“AUGH, MY KNEES!”

“YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE KNEES!” Garan bellowed.

“DOES IT MATTER?! MY LEGS FRICKING HURT!”

“I’M ASKING QUESTIONS! SHUT UP!”

“I SERIOUSLY THINK I’M GONNA DIE! I’M BLEEDING!”

“HOW ARE YOU BLEEDING?! YOU’RE A PLASTIC TOY!”

“Oh, right.” Tehutti said thoughtfully, climbing out of the rosebush. “Never mind, I’m fine.”

“Good gravy.” Garan muttered, rolling his eyes.

 

Meanwhile, in the House....

 

“Boy, this place sure is quiet.” Vultraz whispered to himself as he prowled through the shadows. “It was probably a really bad idea to come in here. It’s been eight years; who knows what’s happened.”

 

He could hear voices up ahead; he turned the corner and found himself facing a portal back into the yard.

“I should’ve figured.” He sighed, stepping through.

 

The Backyard:

 

“Hey guys, I’m back.” Vultraz called, sounding bored.

“I’M GOING TO MURDER YOU!” Dalu screamed.

“Uh... actually, I died of a heart attack... I just came back to life.”

“Then you’re good.”

 

As Dalu turned her back, Vultraz wiped his hand on his forehead, taking several deep breaths.

“Close one!” he mouthed to Ahkmou.

 

“So now what do we do?” Takua asked.

“Well, we need duct tape.” Garan said. “So we need to either try the house, or go to a store.”

“The house is too dangerous.” Vultraz said immediately. “We have no idea what’s happened there.”

“Alright, so it’s a store.” Ahkmou nodded.

 

“I have an idea!” Takua began. “How about McDonald’s?”

“No... just no.” Tehutti responded, shaking his head.

“It’s either Wal-Mart or Home Depot.” Dalu interrupted.

 

“Home Depot’s got way too many things that could crush us.” Ahkmou told them. “So it’s Wal-Mart... we just need to get there.”

“Well, a transit bus arrives in the area in about an hour.” Garan explained. “If we hurry, we can get there in time.”

“Then let’s go!” Vultraz yelled. “To infinity, and-”

 

“That’s copyrighted by Pixar and myself, numbskull!” Buzz Light-year spat, shooting lasers at the shadow matoran.

“Ow....” Vultraz let aloud, rubbing his head.

“It better hurt!” Light-year growled before speeding away.

 

“Yeah... let’s stay away from the Toy Story section when we get there.” Ahkmou decided.

“To the store!” Vultraz cried out weakly.

Special #3 is Over.

Interview #1 – Lewa Mata

 

The Spare Bedroom

 

Agent i: Hey, Lewa. How are you doing?

 

Lewa Mata: Oh, I’m doing great. Well, not really, but, you know....

 

Agent i: I agree. It is difficult to do more than fine if you’re in a war.

 

Lewa Mata: Yeah. Doubly so if you’re stuck with a bunch of buffoons all day long.

 

Agent i: Who are these buffoons?

 

Lewa Mata: A lot of people. I don’t want to name names.

 

Agent i: Gotcha. Anyway, glad you could join us today for an interview.

 

Lewa Mata: Thanks for... wait, us? Who’s us? I only see you.

 

Agent i: Well, there’s me. Then, there’s the camera guy over there.

 

Camera Guy: Hey.

 

Agent i: And then there’s also the Recorder.

 

Recorder: Hey.

 

Lewa Mata: The Recorder is just a shadowy figure with no form, and the camera guy is a yellow marshmallow.

 

Camera Guy: Why does everyone always call me that?! Seriously!

 

Agent i: Well, the Recorder serves the Shadowed One in the Bionicle story. Here, he records our interviews. And the camera guy... yeah, no explanation.

 

Camera Guy: I have a name, you know!

 

Agent i: Anyways, first question.

 

Lewa Mata: What is it?

 

Agent i: What do you think of your future sets? Lewa Nuva, Lewa Phantoka, and Lewa Mistika with the Axalara T9.

 

Lewa Mata: Lewa Nuva’s pretty cool, actually. Silver goes quite well with our colour scheme, in my opinion. As for the other two... well, I’d complain about how they look nothing like either me or Lewa Nuva, but MAN, do I love their colour scheme! Lime green and grey are the perfect colour combination!

 

Agent i: Yours isn’t?

 

Lewa Mata: No, not really. Lime green and Mata green aren’t the perfect colours to go together. For lime green, you just need something radically different or darker, you know?

 

Agent i: I do now. Anyways, what about Lewa Mistika’s-

 

Lewa Mata: Feet? Yeah, that’s pretty bad. Lego was really lazy there.

 

Agent i: Indeed... I guess. Anyways, moving on. How do you feel about the deaths of Pohatu and Kopaka Mata?

 

Lewa Mata: I honestly have no idea... wait, you’re the one who writes this! Why are you asking me that?!

 

Agent i: Moving along! Do you enjoy being the second in command of Tahu Mata’s army?

 

Lewa Mata: It’s a great honour. And I’ve managed to hold it for ten years. And I’m not even sure Tahu Stars would boot me from the position if he took control. Maybe make me share it.

 

Agent i: I see... thanks for the plot device.

 

Lewa Mata: Don’t you dare. This axe hurts, you know. Especially when it’s three feet deep into your skull.

 

Agent i: That sounds disturbingly bloody and violent for a BZPower comedy.

 

Lewa Mata: I don’t really care at the moment.

 

Agent i: You will when I make you get torn to pieces.

 

Lewa Mata: Just ask the next  question.

 

Agent i: Alright. What do you think of the bonus chapters? These include the PSAs, the Specials, and now the Interviews.

 

Lewa Mata: I think they’re pretty cool. A nice, fresh break from reading the same plot nonstop. Just don’t overextend yourself, okay?

 

Agent i: What do you mean?

 

Lewa Mata: I don’t want to start seeing daily “Life with the Bionicles” specials, or “The Toa Mata have a barbeque”.

 

Agent i: The first one is cliché, and this entire comedy is slightly that, so you’re lucky there. However, that second one actually sounds like a decent Oneshot....

 

Lewa Mata: Just watch no one reply to it.

 

Agent i: Shut up. Alright, final question, since you’ve used up all our time. What are your thoughts on being infinitely more popular then the Vultraz’s Diner series?

 

Lewa Mata: I don’t really care. However, with both of them being you, I’m pretty sure we’re going to have to deal with that at some point. I personally hope that point is very far from now.

 

Agent i: How’s a month sound?

 

Lewa Mata: Sounds good. I’ll probably be dead by then.

 

Agent i: Probably. Anyways, thanks for joining us Lewa, and you can go bask in the honour of being the first character interviewed for the Ibrow Interviews!

 

Camera Guy: I’m standing right here, you know.

 

Lewa Mata: Thanks. See you.

 

Agent i: And you, camera guy, can shut up.

And that’s it for Interview #1. Who would you like interviewed in the future?

Interview #2 – Guest Star Roundtable

 

iBrow Comedy Productions Office:

 

iBrow: Hey everyone, and welcome to our second interview! This time, we’re gonna shake things up a little and have a roundtable with the current guest stars. Say hi guys!

 

Flynn: Hero Factory SUCKS.

 

Zeskii: Hello puny mortals.

 

Biobeast: I’m super strong AND a genius! Sort of....

 

ToaDude: This place smells funny... oh yeah, army, say hi!

 

Rahkshi Kaita Vo: We. Will. Eat. Your. Soul.

 

Agent 324: Why am I even here? I have people to kill.

 

Kapurkar: Who wants to make me mad? I feel like making a train crash through the wall. Or maybe something different; I hear aircraft carriers are in these days....

 

Sonicboom: Hi.

 

Lewa #1: Hello.

 

iBrow: Alright then, down to business-

 

Flynn: Business? I came here to have a nice talk with Kapurkar here.

 

Kapurkar: A nice talk? Coming from you, that means a fist in my face. No thanks.

 

Flynn: Hush, traitor.

 

Kapurkar: Dude, at least I didn’t join Hero Factory.

 

Agent 324: Doesn’t matter, I’m gonna kill you anyway.

 

Kapurkar: What about ToaDude, huh?

 

ToaDude: I’d greatly appreciate it if you left me out of this, actually....

 

iBrow: AS I WAS SAYING, down to business. First question is: Why did you decide to guest star in the comedy?

 

Flynn: What’s to answer? Hero Factory sucks, period.

 

Sonicboom: I’m actually rather fond of it, myself.

 

Flynn: I dare you to say that one more time.

 

Sonicboom: Oh, did I say I liked it?! Uh, my bad... heheh....

 

Flynn: You’re darn right.

 

Agent 324: I joined because I rather like going undercover and screwing with people’s lives.

 

Kapurkar: I’d just like to say this right now: I hate you.

 

Agent 324: Oh yeah? Why’d you join, besides the fact that you’ve guest starred in the Vultraz comedies?

 

iBrow: You mention those one more time, and I will shove this pencil up your eye and wiggle it around.

 

Agent 324: Ow....

 

iBrow: Alright, second question!

 

Biobeast: This guy is a maniac....

 

iBrow: Should I-

 

Biobeast: No thank you.

 

iBrow: That’s what I thought. Anyways, next question: Who in this room do you hate the most? And no, you can’t say me.

 

Biobeast: Darn.

 

iBrow: :burnmad:

 

Biobeast: Um... I mean... uh... I uh... I love everybody! Yeah! That’s it!

 

Zeskii: Well, I hate Biobeast here.

 

Biobeast: Dude, are you even on our side?

 

iBrow: Don’t answer that. It’s confidential.

 

Zeskii: How can I? I don’t even know my motives!

 

iBrow: Exactly how it should be.

 

ToaDude: I hate Lewa #1 here. Too many Lewa’s.

 

Lewa #1: I hate you, ToaDude.

 

ToaDude: Say that to the Rahkshi.

 

Lewa #1: AAAAAH!

 

Lewa #1 ran out of the room screaming, chased by the eleven Rahkshi Kaita Vo while ToaDude chuckled.

 

iBrow: I really feel like firing you right now.

 

Flynn: NEXT QUESTION!

 

iBrow: Whatever, man. Anyway: who do you think will win?

 

Sonicboom: You know, these seem to be questions that our real life personas should be answering, not us.

 

iBrow: Camera man, please escort him out.

 

Camera Man: I have a name.

 

iBrow: Yes, I know. I just don’t want to wear it out.

 

Camera Man: *Mutters*

 

Sonicboom was shackled to a fifty-five hundred pound metal ball and dragged from the room where he was thrown into the dungeons.

 

iBrow: Next question of this undeniable failure: which Tahu vs. Tahu character is your favourite?

 

Kapurkar: It has to be Zaktan.

 

Biobeast: You are so biased!

 

iBrow: Shut up! Get out of this room now, before I blow up your brains with a nuke!

 

Biobeast: Uh... here’s my phone number. I work at a mental hospital. Call later.

 

iBrow: I swear, I am going to murder you in your sleep.

 

Biobeast: Well, see ya.

 

As Biobeast exited the room, iBrow turned to the rest of the guest stars, repeating the question.

 

Flynn: It’s Vultraz, duh. Make him appear more.

 

iBrow: Oh, he’ll be showing up very soon, trust me.

 

Zeskii: Tahu Mata. He better win the war.

 

iBrow: We’ll see....

 

ToaDude: The Rahkshi, all of them. You should include their combiners more.

 

iBrow: You all have way to many suggestions. The next one to suggest something will join Sonicboom down in the dungeons.

 

Agent 324: I, personally really enjoy Pridak and Mantax. They really need their own- oh, snap....

 

iBrow: It’s all your fault, man.

 

Agent 324: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

Agent 324 was dragged from the room in chains by a couple of random Koopas in the room.

 

iBrow: Anyway, another question-

 

Flynn: ENOUGH WITH THE QUESTIONS! PLEASE, LET ME GO TEAR SOMETHING APART! ANYTHING!

 

iBrow: Guards, please remove Flynn to the kitchens. Serve him to the Octoroks.

 

Guards: Yes sir!

 

Flynn: I’LL HAVE MY REVENGE! JUST YOU WAIT!

 

Kapurkar: Wow... Lewa #1 is being torn apart by some Rahkshi combiners-

 

iBrow: Oh yeah, about that. ToaDude, you’ve been sentenced to a lynching in the next Bionicle Mafia because you auto-hit Lewa #1.

 

ToaDude: That’s a total load of bu-

 

iBrow: I don’t need that cursing, thank you. Vezons!

 

Vezons: Yes?

 

iBrow: I’ve got you someone to experiment on.

 

ToaDude: I really, really hate this job....

 

As ToaDude was magically taking apart by the mysterious Vezons, Kapurkar and Zeskii gulped nervously.

 

iBrow: Final question: How does it feel to be the last two guest stars still alive here talking?

 

Kapurkar: Didn’t you lock up 324 and Sonicboom?

 

iBrow: Dude, my prison cells are made of lava surrounded by dirt.

 

Zeskii: Griefer!

 

iBrow: I do what I want in my Minecraft servers, thank you. You can go there too for that.

 

Zeskii: No fair! You’re playing favourites with Kapurkar!

 

Kapurkar: If he was, would I do this?

 

A split second later, an aircraft carrier smashed through the wall into iBrow, knocking him across the room. Zeskii was flattened and turned into a piece of yarn instantly, leaving Kapurkar standing alone in the wreckage as the Camera Man returned.

 

Kapurkar: What a mess....

 

Camera Man: Aw, come on! I gotta clean this stuff!

 

Kapurkar: Globin?!

 

Globin: Yeah, what? You thought I was really dead?

 

Kapurkar: Yes....

 

Globin: No. I got fired. And then I got this sucky job. You better go. I’ll tell him you drowned.

 

Kapurkar: Yeah... see you....

 

Kapurkar left the room, leaving the mess for Globin to clean up.

 

Epilogue

 

Three years later, Kapurkar had bought himself an island from an unknown owner. Unfortunately, that owner happened to be iBrow, who ended up sending eighteen ballistic missiles that sent the island down to the inner core of the earth.

The End of Interview #2.

Interview #3 – Tahu Mata & Tahu Stars

 

Somewhere

 

iBrow: Hey guys. Thanks for coming.

 

Tahu Mata: No problem.

 

Tahu Stars: We’re getting paid extra for this, right?

 

iBrow: What?! No!

 

Tahu Stars: Dang it....

 

iBrow: Anyways guys, first question: When you’re not filming for Tahu vs. Tahu, what are you doing?

 

Tahu Stars: Wait a minute... filming?!

 

iBrow: Yeah. You’re in a movie of text.

 

Tahu Stars: This makes no sense whatsoever.

 

iBrow: What do you mean?! You’re walking off set all the time to take naps!

 

Tahu Stars: Yeah, I’m just messing with you.

 

iBrow: I hate you. I really do.

 

Tahu Stars: ... This does not bode well for me.

 

iBrow: So, what do you do when not filming for Tahu vs. Tahu?

 

Tahu Mata: I eat doughnuts and play checkers.

 

Tahu Stars: Wow, you’re really basic... I play videogames and train for the eventual battle where I will have to destroy you.

 

Tahu Mata: Right.

 

iBrow: Alright then, moving on. How high can you count?

 

Tahu Mata: Ninety-seven.

 

Tahu Stars: Five.

 

iBrow: ... Seriously?

 

Tahu Stars: No! 31, 415, 926, 535, 897, 932, 384, 626, 433, 832, 795 is how far I can count.

 

iBrow: Tahu Mata, you just got served.

 

Tahu Mata: I feel like a complete dumb nut now.

 

iBrow: Well, now that we know Tahu Stars has an outrageously high number he can count until, next question. Other than yourselves, who do you think is the funniest character in the comedy?

 

Tahu Mata: Irnakk by far.

 

Tahu Stars: Pridak and Mantax. Don’t forget Zaktan, either.

 

iBrow: Alright. You two are assigned to pick ten characters, five each, to go on a mission to find a missing set. Who do you pick?

 

Tahu Mata: Lewa Mata, Maxilos, Tahu Nuva, Antroz Phantoka, and Strakk.

 

Tahu Stars: Irnakk, Pridak, Mantax, Kazi, and Nuju Metru.

 

iBrow: That is a lot of white sets.

 

Tahu Stars: You make one racist joke and I murder you.

 

iBrow: Wasn’t thinking about it. Anyway, next question: Who in Hero Factory do you fear the most?

 

Tahu Mata: Now that Von Nebula is dead? Nobody.

 

Tahu Stars: Fire Lord. Nitroblast. Drilldozer. Jetbug. They really creep me out.

 

iBrow: I see. How would you feel if I yanked you out of this comedy for a couple chapters?

 

Tahu Mata: Seeing as you seem to enjoy ignoring the fact that I exist anyway, I wouldn’t really care.

 

Tahu Stars: It would suck.

 

iBrow: Alright. What’s your favourite movie?

 

Tahu Mata: Back to the Future.

 

iBrow: Which one?

 

Tahu Mata: All of them.

 

Tahu Stars: A classic, true, but I’m going with Avatar. The James Cameron one.

 

iBrow: That movie made a lot of money.

 

Tahu Stars: I know.

 

iBrow: I thought it was okay, but not the best.

 

Tahu Stars: Who asked for your opinion?

 

iBrow: I did. Next question is: Who do you think would win an election to lead the Bionicles?

 

Tahu Stars: That’s a stupid question. Me, obviously.

 

Tahu Mata: Sadly, I must agree. He has all those Rahkshi and stuff. That’s A LOT of votes I wouldn’t get! It sucks!

 

Tahu Stars: Sucker.

 

iBrow: Alright then... final question: How much money do you have on you right now?

 

Tahu Mata: What kinda of a question is that?!

 

iBrow: Tell me.

 

Tahu Mata: Ten dollars.

 

Tahu Stars: Fifteen Dollars and seventeen Cents, Eighty-five Euros, Sixty-five thousand Yen, and Four hundred Rupees.

 

iBrow: How do you have all that stuff?!

 

Tahu Stars: What can I say? I steal from a lot of banks.

 

iBrow... All over the world.

 

Tahu Stars: I have time to, with how long it takes you to make a chapter.

 

Tahu Mata: Good grief, man. Seriously?

 

Tahu Stars: Yes.

 

Tahu Mata: Wow... I fear the day if you win this war.

 

Tahu Stars: Muahaha.

 

iBrow: Right, well, uh... that’s it for today... I guess....

An odd interview is complete.

Interview #4 – Zaktan

 

The Interview Room

 

iBrow: Hey Zaktan.

 

Zaktan: Hello. How is it going, iBrow?

 

iBrow: Uh... good. But I’m supposed to ask the questions, not you.

 

Zaktan: Oh. I see. That’s how it is.

 

iBrow: What?

 

Zaktan: Never mind... just ask me questions.

 

iBrow: What’s it like, knowing you can never die?

 

Zaktan: Awesome and frightening at the same time. On the one hand, I’m never going to die. On the other hand, I’m never going to die.

 

iBrow: I don’t get it.

 

Zaktan: I thought you were smart.

 

iBrow: I am... somewhat.

 

Zaktan: That explains a lot.

 

iBrow: What did you mean?

 

Zaktan: Well, because I’ll never die, I can do pretty much whatever I want, until someone thinks to chuck me in  a jar or whatever-

 

iBrow: Trust me, you’d escape that like you’d been trapped in pudding.

 

Zaktan: I’m allergic to pudding.

 

iBrow: ...

 

Zaktan: And your obsession with food jokes frightens me.

 

iBrow: ...uh....

 

Zaktan: As I was saying, I can pretty much do what I want. But eventually, everyone else is going to die, and I’m gonna be stuck by myself.

 

iBrow: All you Bionicles are made of plastic. How are every single one of you going to die?

 

Zaktan: We’re toys, stupid. People throw toys away.

 

iBrow: ...

 

Zaktan: I just took it too far, didn’t I?

 

iBrow: Yes... yes, you did. Unfortunately, I can’t kill you-

 

Zaktan: I’d point out a loophole for you to use to your advantage here, but that would mean both insulting your intelligence further as well as my own death.

 

iBrow: ... you insulted my intelligence by saying that, numb nuts.

 

Zaktan: *Face Palm*

 

iBrow: Alright... next question is... what do you think of being transferred to a brand new comedy series?

 

Zaktan: It was awesome, because I got to keep my job... for the most part. Of course, I don’t star nearly as much in this one, and the true me didn’t show up until Season 2.

 

iBrow: Yeah, it was a late decision.

 

Zaktan: Why didn’t you bring Vultraz in?

 

iBrow: Closure. Plus he was the main character and everything.

 

Zaktan: You’ve made a new comedy for him already, though.

 

iBrow: Shut up. And no, you’re not going back.

 

Zaktan: Trust me, I am. It’s me we’re talking about. I’m awesome.

 

iBrow: ...

 

Zaktan: I’ll be quiet now.

 

iBrow: You better be. Next step is duct tape.

 

Zaktan: ...

 

iBrow: Next question: what would you think of hosting your own show?

 

Zaktan: No way. That would give you the perfect opportunity to kill me a thousand times over.

 

iBrow: ...and I haven’t done that already?

 

Zaktan: Good point....

 

iBrow: Don’t worry, I was kidding.

 

Zaktan: *Wipes sweat off his face*

 

iBrow: Alright, final question: what is your daily life like here at iBrow Comedy Productions?

 

Zaktan: Write a comedy about it... because it sucks. It sucks a lot.

 

iBrow: Uh... right. Well, thanks for coming, Zaktan!

 

Zaktan: No problem! Well, it was a problem, but I’m gonna be polite instead.

 

iBrow: And you call me stupid.

End of Interview #4.

Tahu vs. Tahu

Season 3: Aftermath

Prologue: The Memory Remains

 

The Backyard (Pond):

 

Pridak dragged a gagging Carapar across the grass with the help of Matoro Mahri, with Hydraxon on guard beside them.

“That the last one?” the Titan asked.

“Yep,” Pridak grunted. “The final one, thank goodness. This guy here has been living in the fish tank for the last four years.”

 

Hydraxon shuddered at the thought, but said nothing as Pridak dumped his fellow Barraki into the water.

“Now go die in a hole!” Pridak called towards Carapar, who had already begun to swim away. “We need to find him a brain.”

“That can wait.” Matoro Mahri sighed. “I’m tuckered out. Remind me why we’re moving in here?”

“You know why.” Pridak responded. “Everything has been chaotic from the moment our leaders went through that time machine. It might’ve been a civil war, but at least there was some level of control. This is the only place nobody else will go, except maybe some of the rahi. And honestly, we could use them.”

 

The white Barraki turned towards the water, taking his first step in.

“You two coming?”

Matoro Mahri shrugged, taking one last glance at the house. “Yeah, I’m coming.”

The two Canister sets dove into the water; Hydraxon soon followed. The last ripples expanded across the water, and then no sign of life could be seen from above.

 

The House (Bedroom):

 

Tahu Nuva watched in silence as Rotor, Onua Mata, and three Waspix wrestled Evo 2.0 and Furno 2.0 into their respective cells. Zaktan hovered beside him, occasionally signalling directions to his squad of Bohrok. As the two cell doors slammed shut, Rotor and Onua Mata staggered over.

 

“Were those the last ones?” Tahu Nuva questioned.

“Negative.” Rotor responded. “Jetbug is out there somewhere still, along with Surge 2.0.”

“Thanks for helping, Rotor.” Tahu Nuva patted the Hero Factory set’s shoulder. “You and Meltdown have been a huge help. Hopefully the others will be in good enough condition to aid us as well soon.”

 

Rotor nodded.

“A truce between Hero Factory and Bionicle could not have been foreseen by anyone.” He observed. “Perhaps 2010 Hero Factory, but certainly nobody of the 2.0 build.”

“And yet here we are.” Onua Mata replied, gesturing to the Waspix hovering around the entire area, guarding the prison. “Well, Witch Doctor was a bit of trouble, but the rest have been really good.”

Tahu Nuva sighed. “And still no sign of anything ending. With all leaders and their second in commands dead, missing, evil, or just plain insane, I suppose I should lead... but nobody feels any loyalty.”

 

The Toa Nuva of fire waved to Zaktan, and the Skakdi silently departed; Rotor and Onua Mata followed him as he climbed to the window, staring out into the yard. The last few 2007 sets could be seen entering the pond; none of them knew if they’d see anyone from that year ever again.

 

“Even Maxilos has left, along with the rest of his year.” Tahu Nuva told the others. “One the few Bionicle years – perhaps the only Bionicle year not to suffer casualties in the war, gone just like that. Almost all of the sets from 2008, 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2003 are out there too; half of the ones left have been jailed.”

He turned to Rotor.

“Without Hero Factory helping us, we wouldn’t have the strength to hold the criminals in.” he explained.

 

Shaking his head, he dismissed Onua Mata and Rotor; Tahu Nuva himself remained standing by the window, sadness clearly etched on his face.

“Where are you?” he said to the air. “When we need you – both of you – most, neither of you are anywhere to be found.”

 

He turned, ignoring scenes of battle beginning to develop outside, to face the chaotic prison environment that the Bedroom had become.

“This was too high a price to pay just to rid ourselves of ALMIGHTY and Nex 2.0.” he told himself. “All that remains are the memories; they are the key to everything. This is the Aftermath of our destruction.”

To Be Continued.

Chapter 1 – Depth Charge

 

The Year is 2011....

 

Underwater in the Pond:

 

Pridak swam lazily towards his pal Mantax’s cave taking in the massive bunches of rotting leaves clumped together in cracks in the rock.

 

“Yo, Mantax!” he called, announcing his entrance. “What’s up bro?”

“The same thing that was ‘up’ last time you were around.”

“You’re still trying to get that soggy loaf of bread out of here?” Pridak queried, swimming into the cave and taking in the humongous loaf of bread that was slowly disintegrating into Mantax’s new home.

 

“Yes.” Mantax sighed. “I hate this place. I wanna live on dry land again.”

“Don’t let Carapar hear you say that. He’ll tear you to pieces.” Pridak warned.

Mantax snorted, and a clump of soggy bread flew up into his nose. Pridak roared with laughter as the black Barraki desperately attempted to remove the bread, huffing and puffing his way into the next continent. After a few moments however Pridak grew bored of the struggle and wrenched the bread out of Mantax’s face, allowing Mantax to begin breathing again.

 

“So Mantax, I’ve been wondering....” Pridak began, sinking onto his friend’s couch.

“What is it? Did we leave a secret plan behind?” Mantax guessed, sitting in the chair opposite.

“No....” Pridak sighed, glancing away. “Have you ever wondered what life would be like if the Tahu vs. Tahu war hadn’t occurred?”

“Well, we sure as heck wouldn’t be living in this dump.” Mantax asserted.

“You’re right. Who was the numb nut who had the idea to move all of 2007 here in the first place?” Pridak questioned.

“...You.” Mantax answered.

 

Pridak paused, mouth slightly open.

“Right... oops.” He muttered, chuckling. “Seriously though, have you?”

“Not really.” Mantax shook his head thoughtfully. “But if the Tahu vs. Tahu conflict hadn’t occurred, something would have. You remember what happened in 2009, right?”

“Of course. We picked the wrong side in that battle.”

“Obviously. We landed back in jail, though our selection wasn’t a surprise.” Mantax replied. “But nothing really occurred to cause that conflict. And you saw just how easily half of the Bionicles left Tahu Mata for Tahu Stars. Something like that doesn’t happen instantaneously. Sets weren’t happy with how things were.”

 

Mantax sucked in a couple of breaths, coughing a bit when he swallowed some of the clearly poisonous water.

“You’re right.” Pridak agreed. “So civil war was inevitable. So was invasion, I suppose. And now we’re dealing with the aftermath of both.”

“Absolutely no way around it either.” Mantax told him. “I mean, it’s not like we can go back in time and change everything.”

 

A spark lit in Pridak’s eyes- a spark that Mantax instantly recognized as an idea.

 

Usually these ideas never ended well. So Mantax couldn’t blame himself when nervousness immediately set in.

 

“What’s the plan?” Mantax sighed, rolling his eyes.

“Time!” Pridak exclaimed. “Mantax, we could go back in time! We could change everything! Make everything better!”

“Er... how?” Mantax scratched his head. “We have no idea what might happen.”

“We go back in time and kill Tahu Mata.” Pridak responded. “You, me, and two others.”

“Irnakk would be cool. He’s pretty strong.” Mantax suggested. “Maybe Kazi. He worked well with us on the Nuju Metru mission.”

 

“Then it’s settled.” Pridak stood and began pacing the cave. “We’ll get Irnakk and Kazi and time travel to 2001, kill Tahu Mata, return to 2011, and everything should be better.”

“How are we going to get out, though?” Mantax asked. “Hydraxon and Maxilos are constantly patrolling the exit, and if they see trouble they’ll send Karzahni too.”

“We’re going to need a distraction....” Pridak pondered.

“No. He’d never do it.” Mantax shook his head.

“He knows he has to pay for past crimes. This is how he’ll pay.” Pridak decided. “Don’t worry Mantax. Everything is going to go out of control.”

“That’s precisely why I’m worrying pal.”

 

Later on under the Pond:

 

“Hey! Get back here!” Hydraxon bellowed. “I SAID GET BACK HERE! You know locking people into jail cells is illegal! Get back here Takadox, or I’ll rip you in-”

TRIP.

“Ouch!” Hydraxon muttered, twisting his ankle as he fell. “Stupid banana peel.”

 

Maxilos sped by him, firing Cordak rounds at the fleeing Takadox.

“The problem Takadox....” the robot began, “Is that you glow in the dark. Thus, there can be no escape for you.”

“Yeah, that does suck!” Takadox called back. “And I’m actually beginning to regret agreeing to this!”

 

Hydraxon stood and swam after them, quickly passing Maxilos and firing his own Cordak rounds at the fleeing Barraki, until....

TRIP.

 

“WHAT IN MATA-NUI’S NAME WAS IT THIS TIME?!” Hydraxon screamed. “Oh. Stupid giant banana peel!”

Maxilos rolled his eyes and yanked Hydraxon back to his feet, gesturing towards Takadox.

“We have him trapped.” The robotic set murmured. “Close in.”

Hydraxon glanced over and saw that what Maxilos said was true.

 

“Any last words before we lock you up for good?” he called, swaggering forward.

TRIP.

“SON OF A-”

“Yeah,” Takadox sniggered, backing into the wall. “The fact that you have repeatedly tripped and fallen while swimming underwater is highly amusing. It makes this tiresome payment worth it.”

 

“Wait a minute....” Maxilos paused. “Payment for what?”

“Oh, you didn’t know?” Takadox asked innocently, pointing behind them. “Pridak and Mantax are leaving.”

 

Maxilos whipped around and saw not only Pridak and Mantax leaving, but what appeared to be Kalmah and Ehlek as well.

“I thought the six of you had broken up!” he exclaimed.

“We did!” Takadox answered from behind him. “But Pridak and Mantax got us back together.”

“What’s Carapar doing?” Hydraxon hissed, standing once again. “What did you have him do?”

“Nothing.” Takadox shrugged. “He’s too dumb. It’s just me and the ones escaping. Good luck capturing them.”

 

“Oh we’ll capture them alright.” Hydraxon responded. “You think we’re the only ones enforcing order? We made a deal with the Makuta, fool; they’ll haul the other Barraki back here in no time.”

Takadox snorted in disbelief. Hydraxon stepped towards him threateningly, only to trip once again. Takadox and Maxilos both began to howl with laughter.

Chapter 2 – Attack

 

The Year is 2009....

 

The Bedroom....

 

Tahu Mata watched as Bitil and Krika began to build the Vorox line of sets; four of them were built and showing hostile behaviours, growling at anyone who got near. Kazi was directing Mazeka, Vultraz, Tanma, and Gavla on how to build the Agori; four out of ten Zesk had been completed, as had Atakus and Metus. Fero & Skirmix 1-6 were all off exploring with several Tahnok; Takanuva Mistika was currently finishing up Fero & Skirmix 7.

 

“Hey Tahu, can I ask you something?” Lewa Mata asked, approaching.

“You just did.” Tahu Mata pointed out. “But I suppose you could ask me something else.”

“Good.” Lewa Mata took a breath before replying. “There’s word of dissent from sets of several years. Mainly from 2004 and 2007, though apparently several from 2005 and 2006 are in on it, too.”

“Oh.” Tahu Mata shrugged. “Well... what do you suggest we do?”

 

Lewa Mata shrugged, glancing over to where Gorast and Gali Mistika were putting the finishing touches on Skrall 3.

“Is Tahu Mistika in on it?” Tahu Mata questioned.

Lewa Mata chuckled. “Everybody we have in jail is in on it. And that’s another problem; we don’t have enough defending the jail. Guarding it.”

 

Tahu Mata rolled his eyes.

“We have all the Bohrok except for the Tahnok guarding that place, along with all six types of Bohrok-Va. What could possibly go wrong?”

“The fact that they’re missing maybe?” Lewa Mata guessed.

 

Tahu Mata did what the kids these days call a face palm.

“Irnakk! Maxilos! Hydraxon!” he called.

The three Titan sets jumped off of the dresser, landing with a resounding THUMP on the floor in front of Tahu Mata.

“What do you wish, leader?” Irnakk rumbled.

 

As almost everyone was, Tahu Mata immediately began to sweat when Irnakk was around.

“Um... well, you see... I...” he trailed off.

“Just spit it out.” Hydraxon groaned. “Good grief.”

“Ineedyouguystoguardthejailforme.” Tahu Mata rambled.

 

“What?” Hydraxon questioned.

“I’m afraid I didn’t understand what you just said.” Irnakk rumbled.

“He said he needs us to guard the jail for him.” Maxilos translated, being the robot that he was. “Spinax! Get over here! We set out!”

 

As Spinax bounded over with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, the three Titans began making their way to the doorway, Hydraxon TRIPPING half a dozen times along the way (and letting loose a stream of curses each time as well).

 

When they were gone, Tahu Mata turned triumphantly to Lewa Mata.

“There.” He told his second in command. “Nobody can get past those three.”

 

At the Jail (Spare Bedroom):

 

“Go!” Tahu Mistika cried as the prisoners all surged forth, trapping all of the Bohrok and Bohrok-Va guarding them in the cells. “Go! Take over from Tahu Mata! Ignore these Titans!”

Each of the five Barraki lead the charge out until Pridak shoved Takadox down and away, leaving the blue Barraki to be trampled by several other prisoners.

 

“You know what, never mind.” Hydraxon grumbled. “Screw this, I’m leaving.”

And so he did, but not before he managed to TRIP on Kalmah’s foot.

“I HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS!” Hydraxon shouted.

 

As Roodaka made her way through the prisoners, Irnakk shrugged.

“This is pointless.” He mumbled. “I do not feel like destroying a million sets in five minutes. That’s boring.”

And so he left too, leaving only Maxilos to defend against the army.

“This is just great.” The robot muttered. “There’s about a 3.5% chance that I’ll actually win this. Spinax, go!”

 

The dog leapt onto an escaping Umbra’s face, causing him to fall to the floor where Takadox had been and get trampled (along with Spinax). Takadox meanwhile had decided that escaping was too hard and was waiting on the window sill for everyone to leave.

 

Maxilos grunted as he battled Roodaka, Tahu Mistika, Mantax, and Ultimate Dume four against one; all that allowed him to do this was the fact that his parts had been glued together back in early 2008 when they’d begun to crack. He swung his staff into Mantax’s face, causing the Barraki to stagger away and leave, becoming just one more out of at least fifty that had already made it out of the Spare Bedroom.

 

“We get our revenge soon.” Roodaka hissed. “There are too many of us for you to fight. We have the Rahkshi and Makuta on our side already!”

Maxilos was about to lob her head off when he was smashed into the wall from behind; Hydraxon had evidently decided to turn on him.

 

“Sorry Maxilos, but it turns out that blue Barraki is pretty good with words.” Hydraxon informed him, picking Maxilos up by the neck. “Irnakk and I? We’re on their side now.”

Maxilos simply kicked Hydraxon away, whistling for Spinax to help him. The dog leapt into the fray, stopping Ultimate Dume from sneak attacking the robot.

 

Maxilos grunted as he found himself now facing Tahu Mistika, Umbra, Hydraxon, and Irnakk; Roodaka was already far away, leading the army towards the Bedroom. He could see the Rahkshi there with her; Makuta was making his way towards him.

 

For the first time in two years Maxilos let out a swear word; fortunately this shocked his opponents enough that Tahu Mistika and Umbra were out of commission before the others knew what had happened. Unfortunately Ultimate Dume decided to at that moment do the same to Spinax; though none of the three were dead, Maxilos still found himself facing the same odds: four on one.

 

“Time for you to die, robot.” Makuta said, announcing his arrival.

Maxilos sighed as Makuta, Ultimate Dume, Hydraxon, and Irnakk closed in, and prepared to fight an already lost battle.

 

Back in the Bedroom:

 

The door crashed open, and Tahu Mata turned to Lewa Mata, shrugging.

“Fine. I owe you five dollars. They got through.” He said.

 

“TAHU MATA!” Roodaka bellowed. “I, ROODAKA, LEADER OF THE SWARM, AM HERE TO ANNOUNCE THAT I NOW LEAD THE BIONICLE SETS, AND THAT MY ARMY WILL DESTROY YOU IF YOU DON’T COMPLY!”

Tahu Mata groaned; the Rahkshi could all clearly be seen behind Roodaka, along with four of the Barraki and several others. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Zaktan, several Tahnok, the Skrall, Lewa Mata, Ahkmou, and Kazi taking up defensive positions behind him.

 

“SO YOU SAY!” Tahu Mata yelled back. “BUT WE WILL STOP YOU, NO QUESTIONS ASKED! BIONICLES, ATTACK!”

And so he lead his army into battle.

Chapter 3 – The New Brotherhood

 

The Year is 2011....

 

In the Kitchen:

 

Pridak scampered into the Kitchen, gasping for breath, Mantax right on his heels. Behind them, Hydraxon could be heard TRIPPING on the cord plugging a fan into the wall. As the jailer cursed, Pridak spotted the Matoran Kazi sitting with Garan, Tehutti, Dalu, and Balta having a heated debate about which flavour of jellybean was the best.

 

“KAZI!” Mantax bellowed. “GET OFF THE COUNTER AND GET OVER HERE!”

The Matoran glanced their way, shrugged, and turned away. Then Pridak threw a banana at him, and he fell off.

 

“OW!” Kazi yelled as he hit the floor, landing in front of Pridak. “What was that for?!”

“You’re coming with us.” Pridak responded, yanking Kazi to his feet as he continued to run. “You, Mantax, Irnakk and I are going to set things right.”

“No way!” Kazi shook his head, running alongside the Barraki. “I am NOT going on another mission with that guy. He’s scary.”

“Mantax isn’t that bad.” Pridak replied.

 

Kazi rolled his eyes. “I meant Irnakk.”

“GET BACK HERE!” Hydraxon bellowed from behind as Mantax caught up with them. “I WILL DESTROY- OW!!! WHO PUT THIS BANANA HERE?! I AM GOING TO DESTROY THEM!”

“How will you destroy us twice?” Mantax taunted.

“IT WAS YOU?!” Hydraxon cried. “I HATE YOU! BARRAKI ARE SO STUPID!”

 

“So how come Hydraxon’s chasing you guys?” Kazi questioned.

“Hydraxon and Maxilos.” Mantax corrected.

“Where’s Maxilos?”

“He is currently taking care of our fellow Barraki minus Carapar.” Pridak responded. “They owed us a favour for past poorly made choices.”

 

“Ah.” Kazi nodded. “So why are they chasing you?”

“2007 sets aren’t supposed to leave the pond anymore.” Pridak informed him. “They put that rule in place when Kongu Mahri nearly brought in some hostile Hero Factory sets by accident. Unfortunately, we Barraki do not like to be cooped up.”

 

“I hate to bother you two,” Mantax interrupted, “But Hydraxon may be gaining on us.”

“YOU BET YOUR FUNNY LITTLE TAIL I’M CATCHING UP, MANTAX!” Hydraxon bellowed.

The three sets glanced back to see Hydraxon TRIP on the carpet in the hallway they were now in.

“SON OF A RAHKSHI!” Hydraxon cried. “WHY AM I ALWAYS TRIPPING?!”

 

Meanwhile, in the Bedroom....

 

Tahu Nuva stood with Onua Mata, Strakk, Kopaka Nuva, and two Skrall Stars (henceforth One & Two) overlooking the jail.

“I’m not sure what to do.” Tahu Nuva confessed. “We don’t have enough sets loyal enough to reliably guard this place.”

“And too many prisoners.” Strakk put in.

“That too.” Tahu Nuva agreed.

“Perhaps you could build creations!” One suggested.

“Yeah!” Two nodded. “That would work. Because they’re really powerful!”

“And power hungry.” Kopaka Nuva told them. “You can’t trust creations.”

 

One looked put out, but Two shot back, “But they’re loyal to who builds them, aren’t they?”

“Well....” Kopaka Nuva trailed off.

“The first batch was.” Two continued. “The Vezons built them, the guest stars followed their orders.”

“One fought against the Vezons.” Tahu Nuva recalled.

“He fought on our side.” Two shrugged. “That’s good.”

 

“What about the second batch?” Strakk argued. “They attacked us! The Vezons designed them, Hero Factory built them, and they all turned everywhere. Some joined us, others attacked us and Hero Factory, some just killed each other.”

That shut Two up.

“Strakk and Kopaka Nuva are right.” Tahu Nuva sighed. “Creations are too unpredictable.”

 

“Tahu Nuva, there’s something I have to tell you.” Onua Mata spoke at last; and when he did, it was with utter hopelessness.

“What?” Tahu Nuva asked, turning to face the older set.

“He’s challenging you.” Onua Mata said curtly. “He plans to take revenge on you for being thrown in jail.”

“Didn’t he help in the battle against ALMIGHTY’s forces?” One questioned. “Why would he turn on us?”

 

“It isn’t the first time, unfortunately.” Tahu Nuva answered. “Back in 2008 Tahu Mistika failed at what Tahu Stars succeeded in two years later; he attempted a civil war. Then in 2009 he broke out and tried again... and failed. Again. Then in 2010 he joined Tahu Stars and has been fighting us ever since.”

“No doubt he was biding his time.” Strakk said. “If Tahu Stars won, it would probably be short lived.”

“No doubt.” Tahu Nuva agreed. “Onua Mata- when does he wish to fight?”

“He didn’t say.” The black Toa replied. “It was just a warning.”

 

Tahu Nuva shifted a little; to Kopaka Nuva, it was clear that he was uneasy. Tahu Nuva wasn’t the greatest fighter even when he had team mates to back him up; a one on one against someone wanting revenge three times over could quite possibly mean death.

 

And Tahu Nuva knew it.

 

Up On the Roof....

 

Kazi pulled Mantax up onto the roof beside him, and then did the same with Pridak. The three sets were complete exhausted, and now it wasn’t just Hydraxon chasing them; Maxilos had evidently won his battle and was on them as well, in addition to Icarax and Lewa Mistika with the Axalara T9.

 

“Irnakk is up here?” Kazi panted.

“...Yes....” Pridak gasped. “Oh man... I feel... so... fat....”

“Irnakk!” Mantax called. “...Irnakk!”

 

“Yes?” Irnakk rumbled, appearing behind them.

Kazi immediately fainted; Pridak threw the Matoran over his shoulders, grunting with the effort.

“You’re joining the new Brotherhood of the Time-Travelling Warlords.” The white Barraki told the titan. “But we need you to get us to the Time Machine.”

 

Irnakk pondered for a moment, smashing Lewa Mistika off course in the process.

“Very well.” He decided. “I will join you. Follow me.”

Pridak (with Kazi over his shoulders) and Mantax followed Irnakk as he made his way across the roof towards the Time Machine, while Hydraxon TRIPPED making his way up, toppling himself, Icarax, and Maxilos as they made it to the top.

 

“GOSH DARN IT!” the jailer yelled. “WE WOULD’VE HAD THEM, TOO!”

Chapter 4 – Revelations

 

The Year is 2009...

 

The Spare Bedroom:

 

Maxilos sighed with relief as Irnakk shrugged and walked away, leaving Maxilos battling only Ultimate Dume. Makuta had long since retreated, and Hydraxon had been beaten down roughly.

“I’m starting to lose confidence in my ability to win this duel.” Ultimate Dume confessed.

“Good on you, mate.” Maxilos replied, clapping the huge Titan on the back. “Glad to see you’ve come to your senses.”

And with that he knocked Ultimate Dume out.

 

The Bedroom:

 

Tahu Mata duelled with Roodaka as his army clashed with hers. So far serious casualties seemed to have been avoided, minus the fact that all of the Vorox were unconscious. Lewa Mata and Tahu Mistika whirled past him in their own duel, while the newly built Strakk and Gresh were taking out Keelerak and Oohnorak like no tomorrow.

 

“I am the ruler of tomorrow!” Roodaka hissed, pressing her advantage while he was distracted.

“Not the ruler of today?” Tahu Mata asked innocently, parrying her blow. “Good. Guess we can come back tomorrow and try again, eh?”

Roodaka snarled in response, grabbing him and flinging him into Malum. The Glatorian glanced up and charged at the female Titan, knocking her back and off of her feet.

 

“Stay away from the man.” Malum growled. “He’s the man. Not you.”

“The man.” Tahu Mata echoed. “I do rather like the sound of that.”

“Well I don’t.” Tahu Mistika crowed, shoving his shield into Tahu Mata’s neck as he shoved the current leader to the ground. “I think I’m the man now.”

Tahu Mistika was knocked off of his feet by a panting Lewa Mata, and the flattened by Malum.

“I said STAY AWAY FROM THE MAN!” Malum bellowed.

 

“Good to see you.” Tahu Mata said.

“Good to see you too!” Lewa Mata wheezed. “Argh, stitches in my sides... so painful....”

Tahu Mata whirled around and defended from a sneak attack by Roodaka, ducking under her arm to try and stab her in the back.

“Oh, the agony....” Lewa Mata moaned.

Tahu Mata and Roodaka both clashed their weapons together several times, almost dancing with their quick battle movements.

“The suffering.... the pain.... the agony... the torture....” Lewa Mata continued.

“Oh, just die already!” Tahu Mata snapped as he was slapped in the face by Roodaka.

“Fine.” Lewa Mata grumbled. “Herk... Bleagh.”

 

The Toa Mata of air feigned death as he flopped to the ground, conveniently TRIPPING a limping Hydraxon to the ground. Hydraxon cursed rather loudly before standing to his feet again, only to have Malum barrel roll into him.

 

“AWAY! FROM! THE MAN!” Malum screamed.

“Argh.” Hydraxon responded as he crashed into the wall.

Tahu Mata ignored this, charging at Roodaka and slamming her into an empty bookshelf, stunning her. Glancing around, he could see only a few battles going on; most of them were many members of his army now ganging up on single Rahkshi or Titans.

 

“Looks like you lose.” He informed a now conscious Roodaka.

“No...” she hissed in disbelief. “It can’t be....”

“It can.” Tahu Mata replied, preparing himself.  “I rise, you fall.”

He punched her in the face and ended the rebellion.

 

The Spare Bedroom:

 

Maxilos freed the last of the Bohrok; the Tahnok and Tahnok Va scurried out, muttering thanks. They joined the remaining Pahrak, Pahrak Va, Lehvak, Nuhvok, and Nuhvok Va that were leaving the room to apprehend the escapees.

 

“A job well done, if I do say so myself.” The robot said, petting Spinax. “You did good too boy.”

“Roof.”

 

He was surprised to see a strange Matoran then step out of the shadows in front of him, as if he’d only just appeared. Maxilos prepared for battle, though Spinax for whatever reason had failed to begin growling.

 

“Who are you?” he demanded. “Reveal yourself.”

The Matoran bowed slightly. “I have revealed myself. I’m not an enemy, Maxilos. Quite the opposite.”

Maxilos was still wary; something on the Matoran radiated power.

“Who are you?” he asked.

The Matoran shrugged. “I’ve been many things, and many people. That isn’t important right now. I came only to deliver a message.”

“What is it?” Maxilos queried.

“This battle- this outbreak- is not the last one.” The Matoran explained. “Within a year you will find yourselves in constant war. For a time, there will be no permanent or prolonged peace- should you survive the trials to come, you will be rewarded justly.”

 

Maxilos pondered that for a moment before deciding that the response was inadequate.

“What trials?”

The Matoran sighed. “A war like you’ve never known. A war that will seem to be the end of the Bionicles, but will only begin a spiral down. It will take great effort for you to overcome it.”

“Why don’t you help?” Maxilos questioned. “You are powerful.”

“Indeed I am.” The Matoran inclined his head. “However, the time is not yet right, and there are other places I must be before then. I am extremely busy.”

“Doing what?”

“I am helping to save the universe.” The Matoran informed him. “I’ll return in the year 2011, in the darkest of times. Pray that I arrive in time.”

 

The Matoran then turned away, beginning to melt into the shadows.

“Wait!” Maxilos exclaimed. “Tell me your name, so I’ll remember you.”

The Matoran turned back for a brief second, and said four words before vanishing from view forever.

“My name is Vertak.”

Chapter 5 – Changing History

 

The Year is 2011....

 

Pridak panted as he stumbled across the lawn, Mantax and Kazi right behind him, holding off some of their pursuers. Ahead, Irnakk had easily cleared the way and was waiting for them by the time machine.

“Ha!” he heard Mantax laugh as Hydraxon undoubtedly TRIPPED again. “Learn to walk!”

Yeah. Definitely Hydraxon TRIPPING.

 

Risking a glance back, Pridak spotted Kazi get tackled by Garan, landing in a close to rotting pile of jellybeans. Privately the white Barraki believed that the obsession with jellybeans was getting really old, but he wasn’t going to risk telling a band of Matoran that.

“Help!” Kazi called. “They’re gonna make me eat the black ones!”

Pridak had been considering leaving Kazi behind, but he couldn’t bear the thought of someone being forced to eat black jellybeans.

 

“Eat them now!” Garan ordered.

Kazi cringed away from Garan’s hand as Pridak approached. Tehutti was holding the Ko-Matoran’s arms behind him, and Dalu was standing threateningly a few feet away.

“Do I have to come over there?” Dalu questioned, cracking her knuckles.

Kazi shook his head frantically, and was about to speak when Orkham slapped a hand over his mouth and nose.

“No breathing until you eat them.” Orkham told him.

Pridak heard what sounded like a curse that would cause a donkey’s ears to shrivel up had it not been muffled by Orkham’s fist. Sighing, he stepped out of the shadows.

 

“Unfortunately for you Matoran, Kazi is going to come with me.” Pridak informed them.

“And if we don’t let him?” Garan responded, glaring at him.

Pridak shrugged, reached forward, and snapped Orkham’s head off. Kazi heaved for breath as Tehutti backed away.

“I really hate to do this to you.” Pridak replied sadly. “However, it seems it is- OW....”

 

The Barraki crumpled to the floor as Macku stepped away from the shadows behind him, her Kohlii Stick in her hands.

“Sometimes you just need to succumb to violence.” She said, tapping her weapon with a slight smile. “Now, what will we do with this one?”

Garan was about to reply when Kazi lunged forward, slapping him across the face and sending him sprawling along the grass and grabbing a moaning Pridak’s hand, dragging the canister set behind him. Macku threw out an arm, stopping Tehutti and Dalu from chasing after them.

“They’ll be back.” Macku whispered. “And they’ll be sorry.”

 

The Time Machine, A Few Minutes Later:

 

Pridak leaned against the black frame of the Time Machine, rubbing his knees.

“That is one strong Ga-Matoran.” He groaned.

“Yeah well, we don’t have much time.” Mantax broke in. “We have the entire law enforcement of the house after us; one of the other Barraki must’ve blurted what we were doing. You know what everybody’s been like regarding the Time Machine.”

“Precisely.” Irnakk agreed. “We must go through now. Has it been repaired?”

“Yeah, it’s been repaired.” Kazi reported, tossing away a used roll of duct tape.

“Who ratted out on us?” Pridak questioned, standing up straight.

 

“Not me, not me at all.” Takadox said, hopping down beside them.

The blue Barraki was smiling sinisterly, which immediately told the New Brotherhood it had been him.

“Long before you even began to act out on your plan, I told everyone.” Takadox informed them. “You see, I’m going to be in control soon. But to do that, I had to be reliable to the right people.”

“The right people?” Mantax asked, backing away slowly.

 

Tahu Mistika hopped down to stand beside Takadox, and was followed by Witch Doctor, Ultimate Dume, Icarax, and an assortment of other sets. Icarax stepped forward, pounding his fists in anticipation.

“I will become the new ruler of the Bionicle and Hero Factory sets.” Takadox’s eyes gleamed, but Pridak noted a small twitch of a finger, and then another.

 

Irnakk slammed into Icarax and Hydraxon, sending them sprawling. Maxilos hopped down, shoving Icarax out of the way and swinging his staff, blocking Makuta from approaching.

“I took you all on before!” Maxilos snarled, showing emotion for the first time since any of the gathered sets could remember. “And I will do it again!”

 

Mantax saluted to the robot as he dove into the Time Machine, vanishing. Takadox snarled and shoved Pridak to the ground; the Barraki attempted to get to his feet but was stopped by his injuries from before. Kazi ducked into the Time Machine, vanishing to 2001. Irnakk stepped forward, flinging Stronius away with ease. Tahu Mistika stepped in his way, swinging his shield under the massive Titan’s chin, sending Irnakk reeling. Meanwhile, Takadox gripped Pridak by the throat, slamming him against the frame of the Time Machine.

“What now, Barraki?” Takadox hissed. “You interfere with my plans far too much. So you must die.”

“You... don’t... sound... like Takadox....” Pridak croaked.

Takadox’s eyes narrowed.

 

Maxilos grabbed Ultimate Dume and slammed him to the ground, throwing his spear into Icarax’s chest. The robot Titan flipped backward, smashing his fists into the heads of Krika and Bitil as he went, while grabbing Makuta and tossing him into the wall of the house. Witch Doctor grabbed him by the arm, but Maxilos snapped the Hero Factory set’s arm in two and then kicked his left knee, breaking it apart. A furious Furno 2.0 and Breez 2.0 leapt onto him, sending Maxilos to the ground. He shoved them off, kicking Icarax away and flinging Bitil into the returning Makuta. Ultimate Dume scraped several pieces of armour off, prompting Maxilos to retrieve his staff and slam the point into Ultimate Dume’s body, slicing upward and cutting most of the enormous combiner in two. As the dead Ultimate Dume collapsed, Maxilos whirled around, twirling his staff and sending Furno 2.0, Breez 2.0, and Icarax flying away. Makuta, Krika, and Bitil all tackled him at once when he was finished, Krika stabbing him in the shoulder while Bitil wrenched his staff away. Makuta prepared his own staff, readying to stab Maxilos in the chest when suddenly he was tackled out of the way.

 

Irnakk towered over them as he picked up Krika and Bitil, crushing them in his fists in displeasure. Behind him, both Takadox and Tahu Mistika lay on the ground, winded and shaking their heads. Pridak was thrown aside by Makuta, who spat an insult out as he retreated away.

 

“Go!” Maxilos yelled hoarsely. “Go through. Do what you planned to do.”

Pridak nodded, leaping through the Time Machine in relief. As Tahu Mistika and Takadox began to approach once again, Irnakk also stepped through, vanishing. Maxilos grimly slammed his fist into the control panel, shattering it and breaking down the Time Machine once again. Takadox screamed in fury, and Maxilos made his retreat.

 

The Year is 2001....

 

The Bedroom:

 

Pridak collapsed onto the bed, landing on top of a canister. Beside him, Mantax and Kazi sighed with relief, while Irnakk stepped calmly out of midair behind him.

 

“Alright.” Pridak muttered, standing to his feet and spotting the canister of Tahu Mata. “Let’s do what we came to do.”

Kazi twisted open the canister, and the set of Tahu Mata came together before their eyes, forming the leader they’d known for ten years.

“Do it.” Pridak ordered.

Before Tahu Mata could speak his first words, Irnakk’s fist whistled through the air and the Toa Mata of fire had been crushed against the wall; all that remained was his Kanohi Hau.

 

“There.” Pridak sighed. “And now we need to find a way back.”

“I’m afraid that won’t be possible.” A voice responded from the shadows.

A cold wave of dread washed over Pridak, Mantax, and Kazi as they turned to face the set that was speaking.

 

“You see, it’s your fault that the timeline has been completely destroyed as if this moment.” Nex 2.0 continued calmly, walking towards them. “And so I will of course be taking advantage- but you must be punished for what you’ve done.”

 

And Nex 2.0 charged, intent on destroying the sets in his path.

Chapter 6 – The Nex Paradox

 

The Year is 2009, The Nex Paradox...

 

The Bedroom:

 

Tahu Mata stumbled backwards as his hand began to burn, and the world turned black and white, shifting and warping before his eyes.

“What the....”

 

As he watched and the burning became more intense, sets and shelves began to rearrange themselves, new posters decorated the walls, and even the weather outside seemed to change.

 

Something had gone terribly, horribly wrong.

 

Everything fell back to normal; the colour returned, the burning stopped, the world stopped moving. It was thundering outside, and rain was pounding on the window. Quite a contrast to the sunny day it had been moments ago. Roodaka was nowhere to be seen- check that, the only set he could see was Zaktan.

 

“Zaktan!” Tahu Mata called. “What happened?”

The Piraka harrumphed before walking over.

“You don’t need to walk, you know.” Tahu Mata told him. “When you float it’s much faster... wait, what the heck am I saying?”

“How do you know?” Zaktan asked. “You haven’t known the previous times.”

“Of course I haven’t... the previous times? What the hay Zaktan, what’s going on?”

“Well, you know, Nex 2.0 rules-”

“Hate that guy. Scary.” Tahu Mata muttered. “Wait, what?”

“-and you’ve been dead for ten years-”

“Have not! Hold on. Where’s Tahu Stars?”

“-and Tahu Stars is dead too. Nex 2.0 kills anyone who tries to take over.” Zaktan informed him.

“...fun.”

“Certainly. Tahu Stars put on quite a show- Nex 2.0 had to imprison quite a few sets afterward!” Zaktan grinned.

 

Tahu Mata glanced at him.

“What?” Zaktan asked.

“Can you hover?”

“Oh, sure. I thought you’d never ask.”

Zaktan began to separate, until he was soon just a green cloud.

“That’s pretty sick.” Tahu Mata told him. “In a good way.”

“Totally.” Zaktan nodded, reforming. “If Nex 2.0 knew though- oh crud. Oh dear. This is bad.”

“What’s bad?”

“He’s gonna kill you when he sees you. Just like the last ten times.”

“He’s killed me ten times?! What the hay!” Tahu Mata complained. “I’m not that bad. I’ve beaten him before. Wait, how do I even know him?”

“I’ll explain later.” Zaktan not really-explained, swarming him. “We gotta go see my boss.”

“Ack! Who’s your boss?”

“Dunno. Some Matoran set creation thing. He told Maxilos I was a key in the plan to save you.” Zaktan told him. “Keep watch, will you? I’m dead if anybody finds out I’m not a set anymore.”

“Anymore? How do you stop being a set?”

Zaktan shrugged, nearly tossing Tahu Mata down five feet to his death as a result.

 

“Watch it!” Tahu Mata snapped, struggling not to flail about.

“I’ve got you, no worries.” Zaktan replied.

“Are we there yet?”

“Almost... yes!”

Tahu Mata was about to sigh with relief; unfortunately for him, Zaktan dropped him three feet onto the bed. They were in the spare bedroom.

 

“Be more careful next time!” Tahu Mata snapped. “By the way... where is everybody?”

“Gone, for now.” A voice replied. “Whenever you arrive, everybody else vanishes for a few minutes... I’ve stopped it from occurring to these two, and a few others.”

Tahu Mata turned around to see the Matoran Zaktan had been talking about.

“Who are you?” he questioned.

“The name is Vertak.” The now-named Vertak told him. “I... travel... places. Yeah. That’s all you need to know.”

“Secretive.” Tahu Mata noticed. “You have piqued my curiosity.”

“Nothing doing, buster.” Vertak replied. “That’s all I’m telling you. Well, I guess I can say that I’m attempting to hunt down ALMIGHTY as well.”

 

“I HATE HIM!” Tahu Mata roared. “Wait a minute. Who’s ALMIGHTY?”

“I thought that might get a reaction.” Vertak nodded. “Don’t worry. We’re going to try and halt the damage that’s been done.”

“Damage that’s been done?” Zaktan questioned, before glancing at Tahu Mata. “Oh... right.”

“EHLEK!” Vertak bellowed. “Where’s your group?!”

“Right here!” Ehlek called back, hopping inside the door. “We just completed the repairs sir!”

 

As the green Barraki approached, Tahu Mata spoke once again.

“Repairs to what?”

“The Time Machine.” Vertak explained. “It-”

“The one the Barraki built. Right. I just fell through that thing like five minutes a... time machine? What am I talking about?” Tahu Mata rambled.

“Your memories are disjointed and jumbled.” Vertak told him. “As a result of the Nex Paradox we live in at the moment.”

 

“Okay. I’ll try not to make any more outbursts.” Tahu Mata replied.

“As I said,” Ehlek began, stopping beside the Toa. “We’re done repairs. The Time Machine is ready to take a few of us back.”

“Can I go?” Avak asked, pushing his way through. “I want to see the year 2001. It’d be awesome!”

“I guess.” Vertak scratched his head. “Ehlek, you go too. And Tahu Mata, of course. I’m not sure if any more are needed... maybe one or two.”

“I’ll go.” Zaktan offered.”

“Alright.” Vertak nodded, and then waving a hand at Maxilos. “Maxilos, you’re not going. You’re needed here, to help me hold off whatever Nex throws at us.”

The robot nodded, and both Nuju Metru and Matau Metru stepped forward.

“We’ll join the group.” Nuju Metru stated, clapping Tahu Mata on the back. “We’ve got your back.”

 

Tahu Mata frowned at the statement, a look of confusion on his face.

“You joined Tahu Stars though... wait, who’s Tahu Stars?”

Vertak rolled his eyes before shoving Tahu Mata, Ehlek, Avak, Zaktan, Nuju Metru, and Matau Metru towards the door.

“You’d better get going.” He said. “Maxilos and I will try and hold them off, but-”

 

“THERE HE IS!” Roodaka screeched from the doorway. “ATTACK IN THE NAME OF NEX 2.0!”

Tahu Mata whirled around, drawing his sword; however, Maxilos was already ahead of him, cutting Roodaka in half and slaying her.

“GO!” Vertak ordered. “AND WHATEVER YOU DO, TAHU MATA HAS TO LIVE!”

 

The group charged, slicing through Rahkshi and Vorox with their weapons- as they charged past, Tahu Mata saw Malum hop away from Vertak as Strakk was blown to pieces; Makuta and Sidorak met their ends at the hands of Maxilos; Hakann was taken down by Avak; an entire legion of Vahki and Matoran was wiped out by Vertak, Ehlek, and Zaktan; and then there was Nex 2.0, the set that shouldn’t exist, watching from afar. Tahu Mata met his eyes, and knew that Nex 2.0 knew where they were going.

 

“He knows!” he whispered to Nuju Metru. “We have to find a way to sneak out!”

The Toa Metru of ice grunted in response, smashing Ehrye into spare parts. Beside them, Matau flung Vakama Metru away with difficulty, losing a piece of shoulder armour in the process- and then the rest of his right arm was ripped off by Umbra, towering over them.

“Oh dear.” Tahu Mata said weakly.

“Time for you to die once again, foolish fire Toa.” Umbra grunted, swinging his staff in an arc. “Never have I killed you. But today I shall at last.”

 

The Year is 2001, The Nex Paradox...

 

The Bedroom:

 

Pridak ducked away from Nex 2.0’s attack narrowly, feeling the whoosh of air above him. Rolling away, he flung his rubber launcher at the Hero Factory set; unfortunately, it just being made out of rubber meant that Nex 2.0 didn’t even notice it hit him. Before Pridak’s eyes, Nex 2.0 grabbed Kazi by the mask, glancing over.

 

“No....” Pridak breathed.

Kazi tried to squirm away, but of course it didn’t do anything. Nex flung the Ko-Matoran away and Kazi slammed through the wall, leaving a hole. The parts that were left could be heard hitting the ground outside.

“Kazi... no, not Kazi....” Pridak muttered.

Mantax appeared beside him. “Can’t worry about it. Irnakk might be able to hold him off, but I dunno what the two of us can do to survive.”

 

“AAAAAAAAARRRH!”

It was a bellowed scream of pain, and looking up, Pridak and Mantax discovered why- Irnakk was reeling away from Nex 2.0, who had the Titan’s left arm in his clutches.

“No way!” Mantax exclaimed. “Not cool!”

 

Irnakk took one more step backward and tumbled off of the bed, landing with a crash on the floor below; every zamor sphere contained within his body spilled out, decreasing the Titan’s size by an extreme amount.

“On the bright side,” Pridak told Mantax, “At least when we’re built in this place we’ll be happy.”

“Yeah.” Mantax shrugged. “Time to die!”

 

The black Barraki leapt onto Nex 2.0 as the Hero Factory set was preparing to jump; the two tumbled off of the bed. Crawling over, Pridak noticed Nex 2.0 holding Mantax’s head when he landed –feet first– on the floor.  His best friend was dead. Shaking his head, Pridak was about to hop down as well when Irnakk slammed his fist into Nex 2.0, sending the robot flying through the air to hit the wall with a crunch, leaving a noticeable cracked indent in it. However, Nex shook it off like it was nothing and rushed the Titan, slamming into –and then through– Irnakk’s body, shattering it. For one split second Irnakk let out a roar of pain worse than the first, before he fell silent for the last time. Pridak scrambled to his feet, but stumbled and fell face first to the floor. Before he could move, he felt Nex 2.0’s hand close around his throat and he was lifted into the air to face the Hero Factory set.

 

“I still don’t feel as though I’ve punished you enough.” Nex 2.0 told him thoughtfully. “So here’s what I’m going to do. Every single wave of sets, I’m going to kill one of the sets. Got that? And in 2006, those two sets are going to be Kazi and Irnakk. And in 2007, I’m going to make it a special occasion and kill three sets- because you and Mantax aren’t going to be alive for five minutes.”

 

Pridak shrugged, which was a little hard to do at that moment.

“Trust me- your mission to make everything better is going to make everything ten times worse.” Nex 2.0’s eyes gleamed. “I’m make sure of it.”

Pridak rammed the sword on his wrist into Nex 2.0; by pure luck, it went down behind his body armour, popping the three pieces off. The white Barraki felt and saw Nex 2.0 stumble back in pain and shock; then, blackness.

 

The New Brotherhood had been demolished by Nex 2.0, who would rule the Bionicle sets forevermore.

Chapter 7 – Spiral

 

The Year is 2001, The Nex Paradox...

 

The Bedroom:

 

Nex 2.0 grunted as he shoved his armour back on with a snap. Glancing around at the parts littered around the room, he sighed and began to clean them up. The job was done within seconds, and then he climbed onto the bed and faced the assorted unopened boxes and canisters in front of him.

 

The brown Toa was nearest- he opened him first.

“Name?” Nex 2.0 demanded.

“Pohatu Mata.” The Toa replied. “Who’re you?”

“I am Nex 2.0” Nex replied. “I’m your leader, and the one being superior to all Bionicle sets. You understand?”

“Absolutely.” Pohatu Mata nodded, saluting. “I’m with you man.”

“Good.” Nex 2.0 nodded. “Get to work opening the others; send them to me once they’re ready.”

 

The Year is 2009, The Nex Paradox...

 

The Hallway:

 

Tahu Mata tried to ignore the fact that Vertak seemed to be using elemental powers to clear the way. Because he was pretty sure that nobody in the house had EVER used elemental powers before. Ever.

“Tahu, you’re gonna have to follow me soon.” Zaktan told him, drifting beside him as he slashed his way through a squad of Vahki Bordakh.  “We need to find a place to hide out.”

“Got it.” Tahu Mata muttered as he shoved Malum away and slammed Vakama Hordika to the ground.

 

“On my mark!” Vertak yelled. “NOW!”

Zaktan swarmed around the group in the blink of an idea, a moment later they were all sent reeling from a flash of light.

 

“Go!” Ehlek grunted, hauling Tahu Mata to his feet and dragging him. “We have to go!”

Tahu Mata shrugged him off and they bolted, Nuju Metru, Matau Metru, and Avak right behind them. Looking back, Tahu Mata saw Vertak, Maxilos, and Zaktan surrounded.

“We have to help them!” he exclaimed, though he continued to run.

“You’re right.” Ehlek agreed, also not stopping.

“I mean, we can’t just leave them to die!” Tahu Mata cried.

“That’s a terrible fate!” Avak lamented. “Why do we continue to run?”

“Are you guys being serious, or...?” Nuju Metru asked.

“Nah, we’re just joking around.” Tahu Mata replied, shrugging. “I don’t care. This isn’t even happening anyway, right? Because we’ll succeed and everything will go back to normal. Not that normal is much better, but you know-”

 

“Please be quiet, I think my brain is bleeding.” Matau Metru interrupted. “You’re telling me you don’t care if we all die?”

“Precisely. Well, I care if I die.” Tahu Mata responded.

“Great. Good to know you’re thankful, at least.” Matau Metru said sarcastically.

“If you care about living, you might like to know we have about fifteen minutes left.” Ehlek told them, pointing at a clock as they ran by. “It should be at the front door... oh no.”

 

The group skidded to a halt as they rounded the corner; in front of them stood the entire 2008 line of sets, and standing in front of them were Norik Hagah and Pohatu Mata.

“Pohatu!” Tahu Mata grinned. “You’re alive! Wait a minute... I don’t think I’m supposed to know that. Never mind then, carry on.”

 

The Toa Mata of stone remained still with a highly confused look on his face for a few seconds longer before replying.

“We’re going to ask you to hand him over.” He gestured towards Tahu Mata, addressing the rest of the group. “Nobody is going through the Time Machine.”

As Pohatu Mata spoke, his group silently walked over and surrounded Tahu Mata’s, making escape impossible. Because this wasn’t a Jackie Chan movie where one guy could take out twenty.

 

Tahu Mata noticed Vertak hovering directly above them as he glanced at the ceiling; the Matoran put a finger to his lips, and the Toa Mata of fire looked back down.

“I thought we were friends.” He told Pohatu Mata. “We’re brothers.”

“We could’ve been, but we’re not.” Pohatu Mata responded. “You died- killed by some jealous sets of another time, Nex 2.0 told us. And he showed us the evidence- he saved us all... besides you, of course. We’re indebted to him, and you’re trying to ruin our harmony.”

 

“Harmony?!” Ehlek shot back. “You call one set a line being sacrificed HARMONY?!”

“It keeps the peace!” Pohatu Mata pressed. “We stand united because of it!”

“I’d be a lot happier if Pridak and Mantax had lived, thank you very much.” Ehlek snapped.

Avak nodded in agreement. “There was nothing stating that Vezok had to die.”

“Nor Nokama!” Nuju Metru added.

 

Pohatu Mata exchanged a glance with Norik Hagah, who snorted with disgust.

“Let’s just kill him.” Norik Hagah decided. “No more of this babbling. I grow weary of it.”

“You should grow weary of Iruini Hagah being dead.” Ehlek told him. “Indeed you should.”

Norik Hagah waved his hand and his group charged; immediately half of them were wiped out by an intense wave of light, giving Tahu Mata’s group breathing room.

 

“Go!” Ehlek whispered into his ear. “We’ll try to follow! Zaktan will protect you, but you need to run now!”

Tahu Mata glanced over at Pohatu Mata, duelling with Nuju Metru, and then turned away; Zaktan materialized beside him and they ran for the door, Ehlek and Avak throwing attacks to their enemies as they tried to keep up behind them.

 

Then a blast of darkness washed over everyone on the battlefield, knocking them to the floor. Pohatu Mata and Norik Hagah were the first back on their feet, and Tahu Mata made out Nex 2.0 and Takadox joining them.

“No!” Vertak yelled, scrambling over and ramming his dagger into Takadox’s chest. “No!”

“I return....” a voice came from nowhere and everywhere at once out of the shadows. “You fools believed I was dead. I will never be dead. I leave when I feel like it, and now I have chosen to come back. Welcome me, my faithful servants....”

 

Tahu Mata stood, Ehlek, Zaktan, and Avak doing the same beside him. He saw what looked like the remaining parts of Nuju Metru scattered across the floor, and the one-armed Matau Metru was weakly trying to pull himself across the floor missing a leg.

“What is THAT?” Ehlek whispered.

Tahu Mata glanced to a swirling sphere of shadow, where a giant form was beginning to appear.

 

The Year is 2020, The Original Timeline:

 

The Time Machine:

 

“Snap!” Ahkmou snapped (lol), kicking a bush. “They got away!”

“It looks like it’s finally back up and running at the very least.” Takua reported optimistically from his perch on top of Pewku. “That’s good, right? We can go back!”

“Now that the opportunity is there, I’m having second thoughts.” Vultraz groaned, glancing at the Time Machine. “Although I guess we have to, right? The others need to be punished for ditching us here... and trashing the Time Machine on their way out.”

 

“Indeed we must.” Ahkmou agreed. “You guys ready?”

“No.” Vultraz muttered. “I think we can last another week. The Barraki left behind another plum.”

“I hate plums.” Takua commented, patting on Pewku. “Good thing Pewku likes them.”

“I find fruit to be disgusting.” Ahkmou replied.

“You didn’t until you discovered jellybeans.” Vultraz pointed out. “Which is getting old, I might add.”

“Jellybeans are deliciousness itself, okay?” Ahkmou snapped. “You leave them out of this- now, all in favour of going through the Time Machine, say Tohu.”

 

“Tohu!” Takua grinned.

“SDFGSDF” said Pewku.

“That means “Tohu”.” Takua translated.

“Tohu.” Ahkmou nodded, glancing at Vultraz pointedly.

“...I dunno....” Vultraz shrugged, glancing around. “The place is pretty nice....”

Vultraz....” Ahkmou said threateningly.

“...Tofu.” Vultraz said.

“Close enough.” Ahkmou decided, grabbing Vultraz and flinging him face first into the Time Machine amidst a series of curses from Vultraz’s mouth that would have a Catholic Priest ripping his ears off. “In we go!”

 

The Year is 2009, The Nex Paradox:

 

The Front Hallway:

 

Vultraz tumbled out from another time into the middle of a hallway that was clearly at sunset. Except for the fact that it was afternoon outside.

 

That was when he saw the spiral of darkness, and sagged.

“Oh dear lord.”

 

“I sense Vultraz....” a voice said. “I know you hear me, petty fool... and I wish for you to come and let me kill you at last.”

“Oh dear lord....” Vultraz repeated, taking a step back. “I do not like the sounds of this at all....”

“I say COME!”

Chapter 8 – Yrotsih Gnignahc

 

The Year is 2009, the Nex Paradox...

 

The Front Hallway:

 

As a giant form began to emerge from the sphere of shadows, Vertak flung Nex 2.0 away into the front door and finished slaying the other three sets, causing the form to pause.

 

“Vertak...” the voice rumbled. “Ah, I hate you as I hate Vultraz....”

“You won’t win, Gamma.” Vertak snarled. “I’ll make sure of THAT!”

As he said “that”, Vertak unleashed another furious blast of light, this time directly into the sphere of shadows. The figure let out a furious cry as its entryway was reduced in size by over half.

 

“Go now!” Vertak yelled. “Get to the Time Machine!”

Tahu Mata bolted away, Avak and Ehlek right behind him. As they passed, Vultraz shrugged and joined them, hopping through the cat flap behind them into the sunny afternoon.

“It’s already set!” Ehlek reported. “Let’s go through!”

Avak saluted to them all and then stepped through, disappearing. Vultraz went next, followed by Tahu Mata himself. Ehlek took one look back at the house and then followed as Zaktan and Maxilos exited it, blasting apart the Time Machine.

 

“There.” Maxilos said, satisfied. “Nobody is following them.”

“On the downside, if they fail, we’re doomed.” Zaktan replied. “Or at least, you are. I can never be doomed.”

 

The Year is 2001...

 

The Bedroom:

 

Tahu Mata tumbled out on top of Avak and Vultraz; a moment later, Ehlek landed on them with a crunch.

“What was that?” he asked nervously.

“One of my joints cracked.” Ehlek lamented. “These things are hopeless.”

“What are you all doing here?!” a voice exclaimed.

 

Standing to his feet, Tahu Mata saw Nex 2.0 glaring at them from his perch on the window sill.

“We’re saving time.” Tahu Mata informed him. “If what some people are planning to happen happens, nothing that should happen will happen. And if nothing happens that should happen and instead stuff that shouldn’t happen does happen-”

“Too much “happen” being said....” Avak moaned, clutching his head. “Ouch....”

 

“You brought the mirror, right Avak?” Ehlek interrupted.

“Of course.” The Skakdi nodded, producing a mirror twice his size. “Almost got broken by Norik, but then I got away. And also Matau Metru got in the way.”

“Oh, is that why he lost his leg?” Tahu Mata questioned.

Avak nodded. “Unfortunately, it appears we left him behind.”

“No unfortunately.” Vultraz responded. “We’re alive, aren’t we? That’s all that matters.”

“That’s what I’ve been saying!” Tahu Mata grinned, high-fiving him.

 

“STOP FORGETTING ABOUT ME!” Nex 2.0 bawled.

A flash of light began, and Ehlek jumped into action.

“That’s the assassin group!” he informed them. “They’re coming from the year 2011-”

Nex 2.0 leapt into the flash before he could finish speaking; after shrugging, Vultraz followed. Tahu Mata glanced at the other two nervously.

“Um... should I go in too?” he asked.

“No!” Ehlek responded. “We’re not from whatever timeline they might be coming from. We’d cause another paradox- Avak, now!”

 

Avak slammed the mirror down on top of the flash of light as the faded outlines of four sets Tahu Mata sort-of recognized came into view; there was a shouted “OW, MY TAIL!”, and then the four figures and the light disappeared.

“Phew,” Ehlek gasped. “We did it!”

“Wicked.” Avak grinned. “We w-”

Suddenly with a poof, Avak vanished.

 

“...Avak?” Ehlek said nervously, turning to Tahu Mata. “...what’s happening?”

“Well, we just fixed the timeline, right?” Tahu Mata responded. “So if we came from a paradox that now doesn’t happen, we don’t technically exist.”

“Great.” Ehlek mumbled, before turning to him. “Hey, don’t forget me, alright? Whatever has happened between us in the past when you get your memories back... remember us.”

 

“I will.” Tahu Mata promised, giving Ehlek the customary Toa props. “You, Avak, Nuju Metru, Matau Metru, Zaktan, and Maxilos. I might forget what you did, but I won’t forget why.”

He’d barely finished speaking before Ehlek went poof as well. Tahu Mata turned away sadly, facing the canisters before him.

 

“From what I can remember, sets never build themselves.” He mused. “So if I’m supposed to be the first one open, how did I do it?”

He thought for a few seconds before coming to a conclusion, and he stepped forward, slicing in a circle with his sword and popping the lid of his canister off.

“There.” He said, satisfied as he saw himself being put together before his eyes.

 

By the time Tahu Mata was built, the Paradox Tahu had vanished, and no evidence remained of his ever being there.

 

The Year is 2011...

 

The Living Room:

 

The Living Room had never been Tahu Nuva’s favourite place. Before the war, it had been inhabited mostly by White, Blue, and Black sets who insisted that the room remain quiet all the time. A little bit of silence he could handle, but sometimes he just needed noise.

 

This wasn’t one of those times. He and the other six Toa Nuva were battling for their lives against a mini army gathered together by Tahu Mistika. Lewa Nuva crashed into the coffee table; the one mug of stone cold coffee on it spilled onto Stronius, his opponent. The Glatorian Legends set screamed in fury and smacked Lewa Nuva away with his club.

 

Tahu Nuva had to turn his attention back to his fight for a moment as Tahu Mistika tried to press his advantage; Tahu Nuva flung his later incarnation away and turned back in time to see Gali Nuva and Lewa Nuva now back to back, dealing blows to Stronius, Axonn, and Brutaka.

“Feeling lucky, punk?” Tahu Mistika hissed, grabbing him from behind and flinging Tahu Nuva to the down to the ground.

“Argh, another Transformers quote.” Tahu Nuva muttered.

 

Tahu Mistika ignored him, spinning his shield and walking slowly towards him. Tahu Nuva attempted to stand, but discovered that Vastus and Tarix were holding him down. He struggled as much as he could, but the other two sets were too strong.

“I will be taking over upon your death.” Tahu Mistika informed him. “But first, an execution....”

 

The other five Toa Nuva were shoved down in front of Tahu Nuva, in kneeling positions; Pohatu Nuva was missing his weapons, and Onua Nuva’s left arm was gone.

“Which one...?” Tahu Mistika said thoughtfully, looking them over before making his decision. “Bring me the green one.”

 

Tahu Nuva struggled to get free of his bonds again, and he could see Lewa Nuva fighting harder; however, Takadox and Axonn had a mighty grip on the Toa Nuva of air.

“I’m going to show you Toa Nuva how it feels when a fellow member is killed.” Tahu Mistika said softly, staring at Lewa Nuva. “I don’t know how you’ve escaped that so far, but it ends here.”

Kopaka Nuva was wiggling his hands in different directions frantically; Brutaka kicked him in the head and he stopped.

 

The shield of Tahu Mistika began to whir as it spun through the air; Axonn and Takadox hauled Lewa Nuva to his feet.

“Soon I will rule this house.” Tahu Mistika announced. “All I need to do is kill the six of you.”

Tahu Nuva was sure that something would happen to stop him. Meltdown & Rotor would fly in to the rescue, or Kopaka Nuva’s Skrall Stars friends would leap in, or Zaktan would float in, or Lewa Nuva would miraculously pull free.

 

None of those happened; what did happen was that Tahu Mistika sliced through the air with his saw of a shield, and sliced clean through the body of Lewa Nuva. There was no sound from the Toa, who stood tall and proud until his body fell to the floor in two pieces. For good measure, Axonn swung his axe down and lopped off Lewa Nuva’s head, guaranteeing his death.

 

“No....” Kopaka Nuva muttered.

Tahu Nuva did indeed know what it felt like now. Because no matter how close you ever got to sets from different lines, nothing compared to the relationship you had with the others from your group- in this case, the other Toa Nuva. There was a small hole in his chest now where Lewa Nuva had been, a pit of sadness.

 

“Good.” Tahu Mistika smiled, satisfied. “You feel it. You, Tahu Nuva, will watch the rest fall one by one. But Kopaka here...”

Brutaka yanked Kopaka Nuva to his feet and dragged him over to where Lewa Nuva had been a moment before.

“...is luckier.” Tahu Mistika finished, starting up his shield again. “Goodbye, Toa of ice.”
