Factory molding process can sometimes put parts of the wrong sort in other sets, in this case furno's trans neon green core was likely mistaken in place when packaging. For instance, my breez 4.0 that I recieved has an extra 4-length armor shell, in place of the wider shell that goes on her lower leg.(Just swapped it for my breez 2.0's extra one, but still)

Chapter 5(con't) Hydraxon, Vezon, and Flight stopped in their tracks. Before them, stood a massive wall. It was crafted of dark red and black stone, with fire acting as the mortar to hold them together. Chains and spikes hung down from the walls, and the sound of drums echoed from behind them. Something shuffled from the right. Hydraxon jumped his gaze to a pile of rubble. A small being pulled itself from the rubble, his armor black. Flight materialized a sword, preparing to strike this small being. The being held up it's hands "Please! Don't hurt me! I am not one of these...creatures! They took over my home...place...long ago, I painted my armor...black to hide from them, traveled...with them" The being had trouble speaking. Hydaxon glanced at flight."Difficult to acknowledge statement. Energy signatures unrecognizable here, too many sources." Flight said, and turned back to look at the being once more. "What is your name?" Hydraxon asked, watching the figures every movement. "Name...I...don't..remember. No name...no..name..Oh! But I do remember the word Jixian! Does this mean anything to you? I don't remember what it means...I think that was my name maybe." The figure replied "Jixian. The little ones that old flame spat about when he was telling his story." Vezon snarled, grinning as he observed the weak force that stood before them" "If you truly do deceive the plague, then your name shall be Deceiver." Hydraxon stated. "Now then, tell us your story, and make it fast, we have an objective to complete." "I...yes of course. Our home was ravaged by the plague..I saw them, being ripped to shreds or turned into monstrosities..black color...spikes...So i take black dyed liquid, paint myself with it. Camo? Camo. I hide from them, then they find me. I act evil..like them. I walk beside them, I see my friends mindless mutated freaks. Spikes through their heads, broken sparks, eyes white. Eyes...oh jixia their eyes! White piercing, how they noticed not my blue eyes I'll never know...it is so obvious...the eyes see all, all eyes see all. He sees...the creators...they see all through us. I hear the voices of the plague speak to me, here, in this universe, we are one. Hard at first to control the voices. The king knew there was a traitor here, wasn't good enough to find me, his power..weaker then. Now he would be able to find me, he finds you now. But i hide among the plague, i am one of them now..but my spark is alive. Suffer, all the time, I suffer. Suffer...their words rip me apart..but you, why are you here? To rescue me? No there is no rescue..for me..why are you here?" "We need to rescue a king, King Flaudis. He was the leader of your people, of toa." Hydraxon stated, lowering his weapon upon hearing Deceiver speak. "We were told he is in the city of everlasting fire, and unguarded. Do you know about this, Deceiver?" "Flaudis...king...ah the prison of the royals...yes! It is in the city of everlasting fire! This is the city of everlasting fire! Unguarded, yes! The prisoners live in the tower...tower of Inferno. All inhabitants...they live underground...the royals live above them, above their power...courtesy..ancient traditions and morals. Plague have morals...morals...traditions." Deceiver replied. "How do we get into there? Can you lead us there?" Hydraxon asked growing impatient of the slow words Deceiver spoke. "The city...inferno tower...of course! Easy way in..out...hard way..hard way out!" Deceiver spoke, beginning to brush himself off to get ready to move. "Hard way out?" Vezon asked, annoyed. "Their words in my head...the plague...they know you...are here. Coming for you..they will find you...coming here...quickly, we move." **** Toa Garan entered the Temple of Surio. Waterfalls poured along the walls, sunlight caused the paintings on the walls to glow. In the center of the temple, a golden yellow being floated. It's singular eye opened, and it descended down onto it's feet. It was massive, filling the temple, standing twice the height of Toa Garan. Garan kneeled down, and looked up at the figure. "Keetongu. I am Toa Garan, I am powerful...but I must learn the one power I do not yet know. The power of the Ancients. That is my true power, and only one being understands that power." Garan stated, and stood back onto his feet. "You." Keetongu tilted his head. His eye closed, and he breathed in. When he opened it, he held out his hand to Garan, indicating him to follow. Keetongu understood all of the matoran language, but spoke very few words. The reason why, is unknown. *** Lord Spawn entered another sphere. The plague universe consisted of thousands of spheres. Some were miles in diameter, some only one mile. Living spheres, they pulsated, like beating hearts. This sphere, was not red. The inside was black, the interior 5 miles in diameter, and as Spawn entered, the entrance behind him sealed. The air around him was cold, and the echoes of the dead bounced around the walls. A pair of red eyes pierced the blackness in the distance. Spawn dropped to his knees, a screech piercing through his mind. Then he heard the voice, the voice of the plague. thousands, millions, of voices both alive and dead, spoke at once. "Time draws near...The plague will mobilize. At the dawn of 7 days...we strike." The voice said "Understood...Tyrant." Spawn replied.

Indeed, I am back. Short chapter to start things off, but fear not, next installment will be a super-length feature CHAPTER 5 The pain was immense. Every part of his body stung, his mind seemed to be tearing itself from his head. His vision was ablaze, bright white light cutting through him. Suddenly, it stopped. The bright light faded. Red. He could see red. Fire. He jumped up. Vezon was standing gazing off to the distance. He glanced over to look at the figure who had just stood up. "I told you it would sting, Jailer." Vezon smirked. Flight stood up. Flight didn't feel pain, no Nurae did. When the Anarae built them, they were crafted without a sensory cortex. Hydraxon gazed where they were. Surrounding them were massive red walls that formed a gigantic sphere. Far off in the distance there was an exit. Hydraxon glanced down. He noticed they were standing on a suspended platform, so he wandered over to the edge a peered down. Nothing but blackness. Vezon appeared next to him. "I don't think that's a floor." Vezon said timidly. As hydraxon stared longer, his eyes adjusted to see that the blackness was shifting. They were creatures. Thousands of creatures. "The plague..." Hydraxon stated "Guess we are in the right place. Flight, where in Mata Nui are we supposed to go?" He asked, glancing at the green Nurae. Flight pointed toward a stairwell at the far end of the sphere that lead up to what looked to be an exit. "We are in back chamber. Energy signatures similar to codename: Toa recognized. Swift movement advised, plague may be alert of presence." The Flight stated. As soon as he did so, all three of them bolted for the stairs. The ground seemed to pull them down, slowing them as they ran. "I do hope no big nasties try to eat us," Vezon began, "because running out of here isn't going to be a very viable option" *** "I no longer waste my breath on these lands, Glatorian. The Skrall fell and there are hardly a hundred of us left. You want the skrall to fight for you? Fight them, capture them, and tie them to catapults and fire them across the battlefield, for never will we fight for those who dishonored our empire." Tuma spat, brushing past Vastus and Gresh. "These creatures will tear you to shreds, Tuma. We have to put our differences aside, what is done is done. This is a common enemy and we have to fight it together, if we have any hope of winning." Gresh replied, weary of Tumas movements as he paced around the two glatorian. "The only hope I have, Glatorian, is that you are brought to your knees by the enemy. That you feel the pain I felt as my army fell before me." Tuma snarled, and moved close to gresh. His blade reached Gresh's throat. Vastus readied his thornax launcher. "Fear not, Glatorian, you will not die today. Dismiss your weapons, I have no reason to kill you, not yet." He turned away from them and slammed his sword into the ground. "And if these so called Plague try to take what pitiful remains I have left, then they will meet their doom to the fury of Tuma. I will have my power restored, THE SKRALL SHALL RISE, AND ALL ELSE SHALL BOW DOWN!" He yelled, raising his arms to the sky. Visorak chirped and backed away. Wild gukko birds flooded the skies, scattering about aimlessly. Gresh and Vastus turned and proceeded away. "We should have captured him prisoner. I don't like the sound of those words." Vastus said, alarmed. "Is a prison really any worse than this place? Let him have his few minutes of glory, it is doubtful he is going to survive long if he defies the alliance of powers." Gresh replied. *** The rock statue was hit with a blast of water, though it barely did anything. Moisture lined the rock, but not even enough to erode it. Macku stood, looking unsatisfied. She focused, and this time threw a stronger blast of water. it hit the statue, tearing through the paint that was coating it. From the knowledge the ignika gave her, every toa's powers became stronger by a key trigger, though what that was, had not been defined. Strange, she thought, Axonn said we'd know how to use our powers. Why would Mata Nui keep our full potential away from us? Hewkii entered the room, now wearing a new set of armor crafted by the busy forgers in Ta-Sulu. He looked taller, stronger, and more ready for combat. He smiled, and macku ran towards him. She fell into his arms, but this time she felt his full embrace. She looked up at him. "For once I stand near your height. I feel my power mix with yours, I know I am complete when I am with you" She said, and closed her eyes. Then she opened them. The thought struck her like lighting as she flipped around to look at the statue. She though of Hewkii, thought of protecting him. She threw a barrier of water than disinigrated the rock statue into particles so minuscule, not even Nuju could find them. She turned and looked at Hewkii directly in the eyes. "You unleash my full potential...you release the best in me" *** Spawn snarled as he smelled the air. Intruders were in his universe. The fiery walls around him blazed as he turned to Ooranus. "The enemy...has powers of universal dimension changing. How intriguing." He said, in a subtle, angry voice. They do not know the realm they have just entered. They will suffer for their mistake." "They are heading towards the City of Everlasting Fire." Ooranus replied, watching as a third figure entered the chamber. "They will not make it past the gates. Find them, Siiroak, and bring them here." Spawn snarled, looking to the third figure in the room. "Understood." Siiroak replied, his 7 eyes all fixed on Lord Spawn.

Just got breez, and shes actually not that bad. Surprisingly more feminine in hand than I thought, I like her. Still need to do some mods, but a bit of posing can do a lot for her.

hey all, So Tyrant had received a lot of feedback across multiple forums and sites. I mean a lot, and included with that was a lot of suggestions to improve him. I think many people figured no changes would happen, however I can confirm that I will indeed be uplifting tyrant over the next few months to make him even better, based on community feedback and personal thoughts. A teaser of renovations will be revealed in an upcoming MOC topic of mine, stay tuned(: Thanks! And no I do not plan on making a devastator. Though as a little hint as to my next project, I can't deny that the theme of "transforming" isn't on my mind;) Thanks!

(Oh look, I'm still alive! I'll bet you all though I disappeared. Maybe not. Oh well I feel loved anyway) Anyway, these are some...Interesting looking figures. Weird thing is, I'm diggin' them. They are certainly a bit more goofy in some respects (brain attack? On robots? Wouldn't that be like, core attack?) However I like their designs. The heroes look more roughed up and more visually interesting. Villains are okay, liking the fact there's brown and gray, and scarox has a lovely face. Though I'm not sure what's going on with furno... Or shall I say Count Furno? Evil Dr. Infurno? Lord Furnace? The Caped Furnanator?

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions right now. Remember a while back before the summer sets names were leaked, we found that pic on brickshelf with Core Drainer and such on it? I'll just wait until we have a fairly confirmed list

Have been extremely busy lately, New chapters will be coming next week

CHAPTER 4 ^Another short chapter, so here's another bonus image teaser^ The shuttle flew over to the City of Teruckt. The shuttle was Nurae technology. It landed next to Xeran and Storm. “Leaving so soon? Will you not help my people fight..that thing?” Xeran asked, angered “We have no time to deal with battle. Must communicate with other planets. Preparations not yet met.” Storm replied, moving toward the shuttle. “You must come with me. Xeeno must ally with other forces.” “Oh yeah? You think everything is going to join together in this universe? Don’t forget your little brothers, the Anarae, Storm. You have to deal with them. Last I checked, they still want to deactivate every single one of you.” Xeran growled. Storm advanced towards him. A dagger materialized in his hand, and he held it to Xeran’s neck. “The relation we have with Anarae is not a mission hindrance. They will cooperate. Nurae are more powerful, Nurae will make decisions.” Storm replied. It’s single green eye stared blankly into Xeran, yet in his current position, Xeran knew that the Anarae angered Storm. The two boarded the shuttle, and it set off for Spherus Magna. It wasn’t long before it rumbled into the sandy deserts of what was Bara Magna. They arrive to the temple, and exited. Axonn watched the two figures arrive. “Storm, Xeran. Welcome to Spherus Magna once more.” Axonn stated, placing his hand on his chest and doing a slight bow. “Cut the crap and get to the point, Axonn. My people are dying right now, I have no time to talk…diplomacy.” Xeran snarled. The Xeeno were well known for their short temper. “We are sending a small team to the universe of the Plague. An almost certain suicide mission, but we must try. There is an important being that is held there, and our forces need him.” Axonn began. “Our army is almost ready. In terms of who wants to fight, that is. But our soldiers are scared, worried. This is a fight like no other. What of Xeenos and Nuree?” He asked “We were both attacked by Plague creatures. Xeenos’ creature is still rampaging. Nurae Baron reported to me that creature on Nuree was killed. Mission successful.” Storm replied “What about Anarae?” Axonn asked. He looked to Storm. “Communications not yet engaged. Will soon..Must prepare in case they attack us. Anarae and Nurae continue to hate eachother. Tensions will not be easily lifted.” “And then…there’s Ragu.” Axonn began… *** Vezon and Hydraxon walked, followed by a green Nurae named Flight. The Nurae had been at the temple, already waiting for them. “Prepare yourselves, ladies. First time traveling through a universal gate…Well, let’s just say it stings.” Vezon said, grinning. He raised his spear. He had hand crafted this spear, he used it to more properly focus his powers. The sky tore open. The portal to the Plagues Universe was open. *** The planet of Xeenos. City of Teruckt. A portal tore open in the sky, the familiar black funnel errupting, tearing straight down into the city. A battle still raged with the Raul scout in the distance by the Prison. Now this second storm was forming, right in the city. A creature jumped out from the storm. This time, it was not just one. There was another, and another, and another. 10 figures had emerged from the portal. They were not the slithering scout known as the Raul that was already attacking this planet, the same thing that had attacked Nuree and Spherus. No, this was different. The figures stood on two legs, they were soldiers of the plague. The storm dissipated, leaving the figures behind. A Xeeno walked up to the first figure that had emerged from the vortex. “What is your business on Xeenos?” The Xeeno asked, putting his shotgun to the figures abdomen. The figure looked at him with piercing white eyes. Its armor was completely black, spikes tore through it, a creature of the Plague. “Our business…Is death.” The Plague soldier replied.

CHAPTER 3(Con't) The Voporak stared down the smiling, crazed being that stood before him. It had instructed them to prepare for combat, for a war was soon to come. As much as he would like to super excel the aging process of the idiotic Skakdi that had disturbed him, he was reluctant. This…Vezon obviously knew of his capabilities, and knew that the Voporak could wipe him across the floor if he so desired. This Vezon had respect for the Voporak. He liked it. The zivon was quiet, as was the Kardas. Kardas seemed to watch every move that Vezon did, as if he was familiar with him. The Zivon was closed up, compressed, his many eyes watching everything, including him, the Voporak. The Zivon was known for eating visorak, though this Zivon had bonded with the Kahgarak in the zone of darkness. He could only imagine what those two had been though there. Next to him, a small blue turaga walked over to the Kahgarak. “Your mask doesn’t allow you to speak to creatures anymore, Nokama.” Dume stated, watching her as she approached the gigantic visorak. “I spoke to many visorak when I was a Toa, Dume. I learned their language.” She placed her hand on the Kahgarak’s Jawblade. It was massive, longer than the height of multiple toa. The only other time she had seen a visorak as large as this, was when Roodaka rode it over to the Hordika during the war in metru nui. A few moments went by, the two communicating in strange chittering noises. She turned to look at her comrades. “This Kahgarak was trapped in the zone of darkness on accident by another Kahgarak. However it could still hear the voices of the horde.” She briefly looked to the Kahgarak. It layed down, clearly comfortable in this area. “This Kahgarak is the only surviving visorak of the original horde before they were destroyed. The new horde will listen to her.” Nokama said, glancing once more to the Kahgarak. It looked at her, a look of kindness and thankfulness, something that visorak normally never showed. “The visorak hordes will join us.” *** Axonn observed the six new Toa that stood before him. “The first Toa brought into light for the purpose of protecting Spherus Magna. You will be the Toa Spherus. Your duty, our duty, is to protect this universe. And we will protect it.” He began, “The Toa Stones you were given were charged by the Ignika. They are more powerful than the other toa stones, and you have the knowledge of the toa implanted into your minds. You already know how to use your powers, you know your limits. No training is needed. Go now, prepare yourselves. More toa will be created on this day.” He said, motioning toward the other 30 toa stones in the corner of the room. The Toa exited the Suva. Tahu and Jaller approached Axonn. Hydraxon and another figure, the Aar King, entered. “What has been on your mind?” Hydraxon asked, noting the look of uncertainty in Axonns eyes. “Flaudis is still alive, Hydraxon. This Aar being has told me that he is kept in a prison, somewhere in their universe. The king of the Toa. He is the most powerful Toa ever created, he controls every single element a Toa can control. We need him to win this war.” Axonn stated, placing his hand over his face. “In case your audio receptors stopped working, your flaudis is in The Plague’s universe.” Vezon stated, entering the room unwelcomed. “Get out of here you filth!” Hydraxon snapped “No, no, let him be. I was going to call him in anyways.” Axonn replied, and continued on. “Yes, he is in another universe, but we must obtain him. It will be risky, but it must be done. Our legion of toa will be twice as strong with him leading them. Vezon, can you opening a dimensional gate and pull him here, like you did with the Kahgarak, Kardas, Zivon, and Voporak?” Axonn asked “No, it won’t work that way. Kardas and Voporak were here, they were easy to move, I was precise. The Kahgarak and Zivon were the only beings in the Zone of Darkness, They were easy to transfer. But If I rip open a portion the Plagues universe…I could bring every single one of them here on accident. I cannot control that.” Vezon replied “Then we have no way of bringing him here.” Tahu replied. He didn’t like the idea of a figure under Plague control for thousands of years being brought to Spherus magna. But Axonn had good judgment, he trusted him. “Actually, that is false, little flame.” Vezon began, “I could send myself to that universe, and from there, find this Flaudis, and teleport us back here. Easy as drop kicking a Kikinalo.” He grinned “You want to go into the Plagues universe directly? That is suicide! There will be endless armies guarding him, I’m sure of it.” Axonn exclaimed. “Not…exactly. In our time, the custom was to place captured kings in the farthest reaches of the center of the universe. If they ever rebelled or if someone tried to free them, then the capturers could prepare, not be taken by surprise.” The Aar cut in. “Then I shall go and find him. A big universe to search, I suspect. This will be fun.” Vezon replied. His voice was crazed, he showed no sign of fear. “The Nurae can assist with targeting the best possible area where he may be. I suggest you take one along with you.” Jaller added. “And I’ll go with you, Skakdi. The Ignika gave me advanced cloaking powers, I can keep us totally invisible.” Hydraxon stated, hating the idea of being with the freak. “They’ll smell us from a millennia away. But, if you insist it’ll help, be my guest. Oh, and I suggest you follow my command as we do so, jailer. Remember, I’m the one who decides if you ever get to return here.” He snarled. *** Spawn moved swiftly across his tower. Shadow fell off of him like water, his breathing was disturbed. “Give me a status report, Ooranus.” He stated. He hadn’t even looked, yet he knew the figure had entered his tower. “The Raul scout on Spherus magna and Nuree was destroyed, My lord. The one on Xeenos still remains. It reports that there are other planets in the system, Anarae and Ragu. Should I command Raul to scout them out?” Ooranus replied. He had led the group of plague to victory against The One Thousand, back in Jixia Nui. “No. If we send out small scouts, they will learn out creation, the formation of our very being. These planets are smarter, they have the ability to do such things.” Lord Spawn said, his voice a crackling, deep, raspy voice, that seemed to flow across the wind as he spoke. “What of the infected inhabitants on Spherus magna?” he asked “Dead. Some scrapheap killed them, the Raul infected weaklings.” Ooranus replied, sounding displeased. “Order the Raul on Xeenos to back down. Prepare the Shadow Squad. We send them out on the eve of 5 days. We attack Xeenos, create a command post, have a place to observe the other planets. All resistance will be silenced.” Lord Spawn stated, moving once more to the balcony overlooking the universe before him. “They will throw armies against us…We will fight back 10 times as strong. They will fall, just like everyone else.”

I'll go ahead and quickly dismiss that, as no that is not his intention. Normally I'd leave that up for debate but since you quoted the picture with it, I should mention that creature is part of the Plague, I posted it on my flickr as a teaser of the plague MOCs soon to come

Draik I think you'll like part of this chapter Chapter 3(con't) ^A little Bonus Picture^ Vastus and Gresh wandered into the forbidden lands. A few Toa nuva had ventured into here a short while ago and had not yet returned. They noticed two Maxilos robots standing, almost seeming to guard something. They approached the robots, and looked up. “We cannot provide you cover if you wish to wander the lands, Glatorian. We are on duty.” The robot said, looking down at Gresh. Gresh turned to Vastus and the two of them moved away. “Must be the Nuva.” Vastus said, slightly annoyed that they were alone in the forbidden lands. “Whatever it is, I just hope we aren’t attacked.” Gresh replied, watching the Visorak crawl all around the place, suspended from the sky above them. Webs were everywhere, and many familiar beings were trapped in the webs, waiting to be mutated by the visorak. They noticed a massive visorak crawl up onto a building, many smaller ones crawling all around it. It had six legs, and had a golden shell. They then noticed a small little village, free of the visorak webs, and one that looked far nicer than any other place in the forbidden lands. “This must be it” Vastus stated, and moved toward the village. Many small creatures lived here. Matoran and Agori rejects, however a larger figure advanced toward Gresh and Vastus. They recognized this being as Tuma. *** The village of the infected agori was now a city of rubble. Fires blazed, and the Agori ran about, screeching and growling. They all began to rush away from the city, moving to the next to attack. The sand swept across the ground, moving by itself. It shot upwards, crashing into the infected. It formed into a massive figure, with black and silver armor. Using telekinesis, he lifted pieces of the destroyed village, and summoned them down upon the infected. They were buried, crushed. The figure then turned around to see a blue agori fighting a final standing infected. He charged, and lashed out, demolishing the infected agori. The figure looked at the blue agori, who was clearly scared. ‘Who…who are you?” She asked, looking at the massive being that stood in front of her. The figure looked down at her, his cold eyes still looked merciless. He was once a dark hunter. Now, that name no longer existed. Now he was just another inhabitant on Spherus Magna. “I am Devastator.” The being replied. “I live amongst the sands, I saw this village fall. Come now, Agori. We must go to the council immediately.” Devastator stated, and lifted up the Agori. Senix felt safe with this being. *** Bomonga entered the room in which the Suva of the temple was held. Kopeke, Garan, Macku, Hafu, Defilak, and Balta stood. Each of the Hagah stood near them, now all transformed into Turaga. Each of the matoran held a stone, except for Garan. Bomonga approached him, and handed him the stone. Axonn entered the chamber, followed by Tahu and Jaller. “You will be the elite group of Toa. You must guide a new generation of toa to battle, my friends.” Turaga Norik stated, smiling as he saw the matoran that stood. Axonn set down his axe, and moved to look directly at the Matoran. “You are different than most matoran that have become toa in the time. Usually, When a toa picks a matoran, he picks one that he or she believes have potential. They are naïve, confused, and immature. You matoran, have proven your skills, at some point or another. You are strong, confident, and have potential because you have already shown it. And at this time of war, we must have the best toa we can have. Becoming a Toa will change your personality, you will be stronger than you could ever imagine, and will have even less fear.” Axonn began, observing the matoran. They stood straight, and gave him their total attention. “There are codes that a Toa must follow. For example, you never kill, you only capture.” Axonn stated, looking to Tahu and Jaller. They nodded, and he turned back to look at the matoran once more. “But this is war. This, is different. No codes apply to you right now. You will fight, and you will win. That is the only objective. If we try to contain a situation, we will lose. This isn’t a game of shadows put on by Teridax, this is the endgame of universes. We cannot lose because of moral code.” He moved over to the Suva. “Each of you take place around the Suva. Place the stones in their respective spots, and Toa, you will become.” *** Vezon ripped a hole open in the sky, using the powers of the Olmak and the Ignika combined. Hydraxon watched him, wary of the skakdi’s intentions. The sky shuddered, and a Massive figure crashed into the ground, followed by another, and another, and yet another. Vezon had summoned two creatures from the zone of darkness, and removed two figures from a stasis, and sent them here through the zone of darkness, though they had not inhabited it. Vezon and Hydraxon moved back as vezon closed the portal. In front of them, stood A Kahgarak, the Zivon, the Kardas Dragon, and the Voporak.

Thanks for that review, I must say, the only thing that's really somewhat interesting to me is the bus. It's proportions are way out of whack however9that front section and the tires) But hey, at least it's a fairly original design. The only thing I noticed here, and this is something I wondered the whole review, was this quote; if a kid doesn't know their ABC's yet, I don't think they need to be learning how to drive

This segment is pretty much nothing but bomonga and whenua talking to the aar, I wanted this one to be more of a story-telling segment, to give a little bit of a feel for what is going on, make it more understandable, and fill in some plotholes as of now. And as you read, you may see a familiar name(HINT: My banner. Yes, he is part of this story) Chapter 3 “So do you know anything about The Plague?” Bomonga asked, as he and Whenua walked through the Cavern of Aar with the Aar that had approached them. “Oh yes,” The Aar responded, ‘They are an ancient race, some of the ancient Aar even fought the plague back in the elder times. But the Plague wasn’t a massive army like it is now. They are nasty creatures, that take over everything they attack. If they don’t kill it, it becomes a part of their army. And even many of those that they kill are brought into their army.” “The Plague are dead soldiers?” Whenua replied, realizing that the Mask of Life tactic was now going to be an issue. How would they take life away from something that was dead? “In essence, yes. However they are powered by their very own infection. The Plague technology is what keeps them alive, what infects them. They can be killed just as any of us can be. However it is very easy to revive them, and everytime they are revived, their infection evolves. They become stronger, adapt to the situation.” The Aar stated “If The Plague are simply infections, where did the infection start?” Bomonga began, “There must be some sort of ruler, or something that created them!” “There are legends that tell of the origins of The Plague. According to those, two beings were created by great beings of their universe. Those beings were known as Tyrant and Abaddon. They had the power to infect, and created an army. And then they infected the King of Azeria, an ancient castle on the planet of Anarae. The king is now known as spawn, and all obey him. Tyrant and Abaddon remain in hiding in their universe, they will only ever be seen away from there if the king is killed.” The Aar replied. “The chronicles of the Jixians report that a noble king-like being had killed Flaudis, that must have been Spawn. And where is Anarae?” Whenua questioned “Flaudis dead? The leader of One thousand toa? The king of the Toa? No, not dead, Turaga. The Plague uphold ancient ideals of nobility, especially Spawn. They are cruel and treacherous, but they never kill the King. They capture him, and hold him in the City of Everlasting Fire. Flaudis must still be alive, along with the rest of the kings that the Plague have found. The king is the only being who is not killed and made part of The Plague when they attack.” He moved to a smaller cavern and lowered his voice. “And Anarae is near Nuree. The Anarae created the Nurae, in hopes of creating a new race of synthetic beings, but they advanced too quickly. They didn't want to follow the guidelines of the anarae, realized they were more powerful, and retaliated. Now they are on separate planets, and not in good relations with eachother. The Nurae are now their own race, the Anarae are still ancent warriors, just as us Aar are.” Bomonga and Whenua sat down. They had trouble taking all of this in. “We need to communicate this information to those above ground!” Bomonga exclaimed, and jumped back up. “I will come with you. I have already communicated with the Aar and ordered them to prepare for war.” The Aar replied. “You commanded them?” Whenua asked “Of course, Turaga. We must win this war.” He began walking to the exit of the Cavern. “If they attack and we loose, I do not get the luxury of death.” He turned around, his eyes sharp. “I suffer.” Bomonga and Whenua suddenly realized what he meant. “I am the King of the Aar. I am the King of Spherus Magna.” *** The bars of the cell were jagged, spiked, and broken. Yet no one dared cross them, for creatures of no mercy stood waiting, always watching. Flaudis sat in his cell. Helpless for thousands of years. There was no escape.

Mahri and Nuva CHAPTER 2(con't) Onepu held out has hand in a fist formation. Nuparu did the same, and together did a fist pound. Nuparu and Onepu had become good friends before Nuparu set out on his journey. Now Onepu was creating a legacy of his own. He was the co-administrator of the Matoran Resistance, which was now joining with the Agori to create an even larger force. Kongu stood next to Nuparu, and put his hands on his hips. “Now that…is impressive.” Kongu said. His gaze followed through to a massive hangar full of exo toa, being outfitted with a more powerful missile launcher and a chaingun. Matoran worked furiously to prepare them as quickly as they could. ‘That’s just the start.” Onepu said, and moved forward. He came to a large door that was locked by means of a code system. “Nurae technology.” He spoke outloud, knowing that Kongu and Nuparu would wonder what it was. He entered in a code, and the door opened. Through the door was another hangar. This one, was filled with the Boxer vehicle that Nuparu had created to protect the island of Mata Nui. Yet there were more vehicles to the back of the hangar, ones that the Toa did not recognize. “What are those?” Nuparu asked, admiring the powerful look of them . “Agori vehicles. We found plans for them and constructed them. Slightly differently of course, we are dealing with a war here afterall. Theres the Thornatus, Kaxium, and Skopio. The only ones really useful in battle, at least.”Onepu replied, and moved on once more. He came to another coded door, and proceed to open it. What the toa saw, was unimaginable. “…Vahki” Kongu stated. Seeing them being created was beyond belief. “The last time these things were built, they took over Metru Nui and imprisoned matoran. Why exactly are you rebuilding them? And stronger by the looks of it!” Nuparu snapped. A red being walked over, his blue eye shining bright. “We control. Vahki not a threat. If they disobey, Nurae will initiate shutdown sequence. All vahki will be deactivated.” The red Nurae stated *** “We don’t have a choice. We need everything we can get to fight.” Axonn said, and looked down to Vezon. “You have absorbed the power of the Olmak and the ignika, you can do it.” He said sternly. “if he unleashed these creatures, they will go on a rampage and destroy everything!” Hydraxon yelled, and advanced towards Axonn. “Halt, Jailer. We will be able to control them. We will be freeing them from the places into which there would otherwise be no escape.” Axonn began, “And I have a feeling vezon here will be able to control them, won’t you?” “It will be my pleasure. What are we waiting for? Time to open up the Zone of Darkness.” Vezon replied, hysteria in his voice. “But if you don’t mind, Axonn, while I am using the powers, I would very much like to get an old friend back.” The familiar grin spread across his teeth. *** Xeran approached the crater in Teruckt. Teruck was a small city, most of the buildings creatred out of stone and concrete. They had impressive architecture, created by the ancestors of the planet. A figure stood, dressed in white and silver armor. “Storm! What news do you bring?” Xeran asked. “Unknown atmospheric change occurred on Nurae. Creature emerged from ground and attacked Nurae forces. Presumed as the Plague.” Storm replied, his gaze shifting to an explosion far off in the distance. “The same thing just happened near a prison facility here.” Xeran replied, “Our military was headed their now to observe the situation.” Storm didn’t say anything. His gaze was fixed on the horizon. Xeran turned to look at what was distracting Storm. When he saw the sight, his biomechanical heart sank. The Xeeno were more organic than mechanical. In the distance, a creature, the same as the ones that had attacked Nuree and Sphreus magna, leaped into the sky, and went nose-diving into the ground. Explosions went off, and a terrible screech could be heard from afar. *** A Water agori known as Senix strode along the deserts of Bara Magna. She was approaching her home village, a small, fortified area known as Huhut. Yet when she saw the smoke in the distance, she picked up her pace. The village was destroyed. What was worse, was the creatures crawling around all throughout the village. They were Agori sized, but where black, with cracked armor, black spikes, and were acting strangely. “I have to tell someone..” She began, and turned around to run to the Temple. A being stood in her way. “Where do you think you’re going?” It asked. Senix recognized him immediately. “Raanu!” She exclaimed. Then she noticed the black streaks spreading across his mask. His eyes lost color, becoming a bright white. “Rr….r.ru..nn!” He screamed, and fell to his knees. That’s when Senix saw the jagged spike forced into his back. “What’s wrong!” She screamed, kneeling down next to him. He grabbed her arm, and held it forcefully. “I…s..said..r..run” He muttered, struggling to talk. She didn’t want to leave him, but she had to. She tried to move away to get help. She stopped, and looked down. Raanu was still holding onto her arm. He looked up at her. This time, He was different. He was dead now. He was a pawn of the Plague. And he did not let go.

Chapter 2(con't) Kongu fired. The blaster shots flew straight and true, and smashed into the being. They exploded upon contact, tearing through the spikes on his back. It screeched, and shot forward toward Kongu. Pohatu ran to one of the destroyed buildings. Most of the debris had been turned to dust, but some large chunks still remained. He drop kicked a massive pillar, knocking the creature off course. It turned around, now distracted by Pohatu. He began to run in circles around the creature. It didn’t know how to follow his quick movements. Tahu threw a wall of lava at the beast, but the lava simply dripped off of it. Nuparu threw his shield at the creature’s neck, and it pierced through the spikes and armor. The creature screeched even louder, and dove up into the air. Before it could crash into the ground and disappear, Nuparu fired his aqua blaster blade, creating a shockwave that knocked the creature off course. It smashed into the ground, more pikes being crushed as it did so. Jaller leapt up onto the struggling being, and struck down with his sword. The creature let out one last screech before it was silenced. By this time, the morning sky was rising. Kongu glanced to the right to see Hydraxon moving toward the city. Behind him was Hahli, who was holding up Lesovikk as they walked. Hydraxon approached the Toa. “What happened here?” Hydraxon asked, observing the wreckage. “This thing came out of the ground, tried to attack the city. Didn’t stand a chance against us toa!” Nuparu exclaimed. A hysterical laughter came from behind them. Nuparu looked to see Vezon approaching. “You think this is a victory to be proud of, Toa? This was nothing! It’s was a simple pawn of the plague. You just killed a creature equivalent to one of our matoran. That is no reason to cheer. You will become clouded with a sense that the war will be easy. It won’t be.” Vezon snarled. Hydraxon lashed out, backhanding vezon with his three bladed underclaw. “I suggest you alter your tone, before I do it for you, Skakdi.” Hydraxon snapped *** Whenua and Bomonga watched the tunnel before them as something walked out of it. The figure was old, with a jagged sword and shield. “I don’t believe it…” Whenua said. The being that stood in front of them, was an Aar. “Do not be afraid, new cyclers.” The being said. It’s voice was old, yet it spoke with dignity. “I am an Aar, the ancestors to this universe. We did not have names, the concept did not exist in our time.” It walked over to the statue and observed the being standing true and tall. “We were the most powerful military force in our time. And to think that these…Plague creatures are going to try to destroy this universe…times have changed.” “You know of the Plague?” Bomonga asked, surprised. “Of course we do. The Aar live underneath every tunnel in Spherus magna. We hear everything that everyone says above ground. We are far from being dead, Turaga.” The Aar placed his hand on the statue. It moved, and looked down at the Aar. “What in Mata Nui’s name?” Whenua said, almost falling back from the shock. “Why do you think we have stayed hidden this long? Our legacy is over. But we live amongst you. This is not a living statue, this is an Aar, just like me. He has stood in this same place for thousands of years.” The Aar walked close to the Turaga. “The Aar will rise, and we will fight. This, is our universe. Not The Plague’s.” *** Onepu’s feet clanged on the metal bridge. He was in a massive factory, created in secret by the Matoran Resistance. The last few days had been the busiest days of their lives. Machines, Matoran, and Agori worked and built. Onepu had become the new matoran inventor when Nuparu became a Toa. Now, a grand force stood in the factory. Exo Toa had been outfitted with advanced armor and weaponry. Boxers, the vehicle that Nuparu had invented to fight threats had been built and were ready to fight. And largest of all, was the Vahki. They were being built once more, this time more powerful. And this time, they would obey orders. If they didn’t, the Nurae would override their circuits and destroy them. *** The room was black and jagged. Fire burst from every pour. Chains hung from the ceiling, dead corpses lined the floors. The walls were littered by scratches and removed debris. To the front of the room was a balcony. A figure stood, His face nothing but blackness covered by a jagged helmet. Half of him resembled a black knight, his tattered cape lay over his shoulder. Small bits of gold armor lined the pitch black. His other side, was dressed by vicious spikes and chains. His hand was a massive claw, and his foot was a treacherous talon. He was also large, roughly 5 times the size of a Toa, and breathed heavily. He looked down the balcony. 300 stories below him was a mobilizing army. The being walked away from the balcony to meet another figure in the center of the room. This being was completely infested with spikes and chains. The most peculiar about it was it’s right arm. It was completely robotic, and had a massive cannon at the end. It was not covered in spikes and mutated like the rest of itself. “They have made their move, ieogla.” The first being began, “They killed one of ours. Before it was killed, the Raul reported that they were beginning to mobilize.” “Then they know of our presence.” ieogla replied. “Do they have the object of power that we require?” “One of many. But this universe is intriguing. They are more advanced than what we have previously fought. We will not be so quick to destroy them.” The first being replied. “We will slowly attack them, weaken them. Then we will let them rebuild, become stronger. After that, we exterminate.” “Understood, Lord Spawn.”

Very interesting to read that data! I think what I take out of this, is that Lego is realizing how important lego communities online are now. Whether this means the actual lego forums will improve or what, It is still good news to online communities.

Draik I'm considering it, yes CHAPTER 2 Lesovikk felt the ground slam into his face like a fist. Something was pinning him down. His hearing was muffled, though he could hear Hahli yelling something. Whatever was on top of him suddenly shifted away. Lesovikk attempted to stand, but the ground flipped and turned, and he collapsed. Sounds suddenly became more clear. He could make out Hahli talking to the other figure sternly. “We need all of the forces we can get! It is not up to you to decide his fate!” She screamed “He chose his fate. He ran, and now he is caught. He will suffer the penalties, toa.” The figure replied. “No! This is to be decided by the council, Hydraxon. That is law. If you are after Lesovikk because he broke the code, then follow your own advice, and follow your code.” She asserted Lesovikk’s vision cleared, and he could make out the shape of a figure that looked like a weaponized Toa. It was Hydraxon, the jailer. He respected few, but no one dared disrespect him, for he could lock them behind bars for the rest of their cycle. Hydraxon looked down at Lesovikk, who was clearly struggling to even keep his optics open. “Fine,” Hydraxon began, “We will take him to the council. I have a message to bring there anyway.” He turned and began striding forward. He paused for a moment and looked back at Hahli, who was now helping Lesovikk to his feet. “Don’t fall behind.” He said, and proceeded. *** Lewa, Gali, Onua, and Kopaka walked along the Forbidden grounds. This, was an area that had been improperly reformed when Aqua Magna, Bota magna, and bara magna came back to together. Here, many of the outcasts and villains of the Matoran universe lurked, and it was extremely dangerous to travel here, for creatures were always hiding, waiting to strike. Visorak webs strung all along the massive rock formations that violently stuck out from the ground. A large figure, clad in green and gunmetal armor approached them. It was a Maxilos robot. Many of these had been assigned to the pit, the rest were sent to the Forbidden grounds to keep a small scale of order there. “What do you require, Toa.” It asked in its robotic voice. “We need to speak with the Bahrag twins, do you know if they are here?” Gali replied. The maxilos robot shook it’s head. “Follow me” it responded. As the toa walked, another maxilos robot followed behind them. The Toa needed protection in the forbidden grounds, most of the creatures that lived here still held grudges against them. Lewa watched a visorak crawl on a web that hung above them. Its red eyes pierced the hazy sky. The toa arrive to a hole in the ground, that led downward. Kopaka gazed at the Maxilos robots. “We will guard the entrance. You go down, they live down there.” it said. Onua moved first down the cave, he could see best in the dark conditions. It led into a massive cavern, with two large figures standing. One was Red, one was blue. They were the Bahrag twins. “tell us…What are toa doing in our lair…” They said. They spoke at the same time, yet seemed to be one entity. Gali moved forward. She was still afraid to be near these creatures. But this time, the Toa let the twins have their freedom. The Bohrok were no longer a menace, and the twins kept to themselves. Gali looked at the creatures, and stood tall. “We request your assistance.” Gali said calmly. The sisters looked confused. “Assistance…what assistance can we provide?” They asked, their voices a long drawn hiss. “The Bohrok swarms must be awakened once more. This time, for war.” *** The planet of Xeenos. It was a massive planet, the largest in the system. Next to it, was Nuree. And next to that, was Spherus magna. The inhabitants were known as Xeeno. They were biomechanical creatures, with savage claws and teeth. There were two types of Xeeno. The Veko, which were smaller, and more agile, and the Veka, which were brutish figures that could smash diamond. Every Xeeno’s name began with an X, however only high ranking Xeeno had names. A Veka dashed across the landscape. Something had attacked once of their prison facilities, though no one reported what had attacked. This veka’s name was Xeck, he was the General of the Northern Xeeno army. He saw a white shape fire towards the Central city of Teruckt. He yelled out to another veka named Xeran to figure out what it was. Xeck pulled out a Xeeno Shotgun. If the creature was still visible, he was going to kill it. *** Jaller walked with Kongu, Nuparu, Tahu, and Pohatu. They were going to their home village of Tabolt. All toa lived in this village, and it was heavily guarded by towers and turrets. They entered the gate, and turned to look at eachother. “Tomorrow I will check on the progress of the matoran war manufacturing system.” Kongu stated, and split off from the group. He entered his home and went into a peaceful state. It was not to last. A few hours later, he heard screaming. He jumped upward, and shot out his door. He was horrified by the site. A black monstrosity had erupted from the ground. He saw a flash of fire as Tahu and Jaller ran from their homes. The creature let out a screech, and crashed into a house. It looked at the Toa moving towards it with it's blazing white eyes. Kongu ran back into his home and grabbed his cordak blasters. He walked outside, and aimed his weapons. “Bring it.”

^Patience, I already had that answered in this segment;p Chapter 1(con't) Bomonga and Whenua walked in the Cavern of The Aar, an underground system. Here, an ancient race known as the Aar used to live. It is unknown what happened to them, however everyone knew what they looked like. Statues had been built of them, and still stood tall in the cavern, though they were falling apart. The cavern itself was a dark place to be, and not many journeyed into it. Legend had said that a creature lurked amongst the cavern, who haunted all that entered it. Bomonga didn’t believe the tale, and went to the cavern to find the stones into which he would fuse his power into. When a toa ended their cycle, they spread their power into six stones. Each stone could release energy in a matoran. Each matoran had toa powers, yet without a toa stone, there was no way for this power to be released. The Toa hagah would create 36 stones. Each Hagah would chose a matoran of their specific element. The hagah decided this group of six would be known as the elite. They would guide the other toa created by the stone, in the war that was soon to come. He walked over to an Aar.“I wonder what these things were like. I’ll bet they were great warriors” Bomonga said, observing one of the statues. “No one knows what happened to them. Who knows if they even existed” Whenua replied, and picked up a stone chunk that had fallen off one of the statues. "These are sacred. Perfect to become Toa Stones, Bomonga." Bomonga knelt down to observe six stone pieces that Whenua had arranged in a line. He blasted them with energy, perfectly shaping them. He then moved his hands over them, and focused his power into the stones. When he opened his eyes, he stood at Whenua’s height. “I am the first of the hagah to focus all of my power into all six stones at once.” He started, “I am… the first turaga hagah. How ridiculous that even sounds…” he looked back down to the stones. “Who will become the elite toa of earth?” Whenua asked as he approached his new Turaga comrade. “Garan. The rest will be given to Axonn, he will choose the rightful beings to become toa.” Bomonga replied. When all was silent, they heard it. Footsteps. *** The Nurae leapt from his placement upon a chair. It was the same Nurae that had traveled to Spherus Magna to discuss The Plague. It’s name was storm. It turned to another Nurae, one who was purple and gold in color. “Atmospheric change. Imbalance of power. Alert, preparations not met. Attack to early, evasive action!” Storm yelled, and held up his hand. A weapon materialized, a rifle, right into it’s hand. This technology was Nurae technology, unknown to the inhabitants of Spherus magna. Storm and the purple nurae, known as Baron, looked out the window the Nuree observation array. The sky split before them, and a black funnel cloud formed from the ground. A black shape could be seen falling from the twister and plummeting into the dirt. The storm disappeared quickly. 15 beings ran out of the tower. They had similar rifles materialized in their hand that Storm wielded. Storm looked to Baron. “Atmospheric disturbance gone. That, did not.” It said, as it pointed to the creature emerging from the ground. It had white eyes, and amongst the night sky they could see the outline of massive spikes along its back. However the creature appeared small. Something fired from it’s back, then the creature charged into the ground, and all was silent. Storm and baron descended down the tower, and ran outside. 14 of the Nurae guards stood. One of them lay on the ground, a massive black spike, jagged and misshapen, had pierced through its chest. Storm knelt down to observe the object. “Origin Unknown.” Storm said, looking up to the others. “Plague.” Baron replied. “Must be a scout. Alert all nurae. Storm, transport to Spherus magna and Xeenos. Notify of encounter.” “Acknowledged.” Storm replied, and set off. No one noticed the black streaks spreading across the dead Nurae. *** Hydraxon moved swiftly along the swamps. The pit still existed here on Spherus magna, but no longer was it a place of mutation and war, it was a newly rebuilt jail system, in a deep cove. Hydraxon was the enforcer; He locked up anything that broke the rules. He dashed forward, picking up the trail of a rogue being that had disobeyed code. Usually he had Spinax do this, however the hound had been assigned to another task. It was at that moment in which he stopped. A small agori village lay in the distance. “Maybe they have seen the runner.” He said outloud to himself, and moved forth. As he approached, the agori ran into their homes. Hydraxon was a menacing looking figure. Tall, with pitch black and silver armor, and blades all along him. He had weapons, cuffs, everything he needed to take down a runner. One Agori stood guard, with a red sword and shield. “Who are you?” The agori asked. “Hydraxon, jailer of the pit. I am looking for a runner. A rogue Toa.” Hydraxon stated looking down at the tiny figure that stood in his way. “You’re worried about a toa right now? You should be preparing for the Plague!” The agori yelled . “What plague are you talking of, agori? I have a task to complete, I have no time to deal with some medical issue.” Hydraxon spat. “Firstly, mister Hydraxon, my name is Raanu. Secondly, The plague isn’t a disease, it’s an army! Another universe that’s planning to attack this universe! How could you not have heard of this?” Raanu exclaimed. He didn’t notice the sand beneath him shift. “I do not bother myself with troubles that can be dealt with by the toa who follow orders, Agori. I have my own purpose, and right now it is finding that rogue to-“ “SSSCCCCRREETTTCCCCCHHHH” The noise was ear deafening and came from all across the town. A black figure burst from the ground smashing into a building, turning it into a pile of sand. The creature shot forward, almost seeming to glide along the sand. It crashed into another building, it’s massive black spikes tearing through everything in its way. It was a sight to behold. It was about 20 feet long, but had jagged spikes all along it. 6 small daggerish legs dragged underneath it, however the creature simply glided along, as if it could levitate. It arched its back, and multiple of the spikes fired off. They crashed into building and the ground, ripping everything to shreads. Two agori were hit by the spikes, and instantly fell to the ground. “Man the turrets! Grab all weapons!” Raanu yelled. But it was too late. The creature dove back into the ground, and was gone from sight. “is that the Plague you’re talking about?” Hydraxon asked, now interested in the issue at hand. “I don’t know, I’ve never seen that thing before.” Raanu replied. He swiftly looked to the area into which one of the agori had been killed. It was getting back up. A massive black spike emitted from its back, for it had gone straight through the agori. But the agori was small, and whatever that spike was doing to him, it was moving fast. Black streaks spread across it, and its armor cracked, smaller spikes piecing through the cracks. It lashed out, hitting another agori with its sword. “That thing infected him.” Hydraxon stated, watching the agori attack his fellow inhabitants. At that moment, Hydraxon realized the severity of the situation. “Deal with your agori comrades. They are dangerous. Kill them, do not hesitate. I will catch the rogue toa, then run to the council and alert them of this.” He said, and began to walk off. “That rogue toa is more important than this?” Raanu asked. He was shocked, and also scared. “I never fail my task, agori.” Hydraxon replied, and turned away from Raanu

You'll see;) Next update. I'll be doing about one update every 1-2 days. Basically when i write them i'll post them. Chapter 1(con't) Lesovikk walked along the edge of the swamp created when Bota Magna rejoined Bara magna and Aqua Magna. He paused for a moment, to see two fish fighting in the murky water. One of them grabbed the other in its jaws and smashed it into the side of the bank. He felt sick as he thought back to the pit, where he had once been, mutated, into what he was now. He now had an apparatus to breathe air, due to Mata Nui. He peered into the sky to see a blue figure moving towards him. He readied his cordak blaster, then lowered it. The figure landed. “Hahli.” Lesovikk said, happiness filled his voice. Lesovikk had killed karzahni, he had violated Toa Code and would undergo consequences for it. Only Hahli knew where he was, and she didn’t turn him in. “How are you, brother.” She said, watching his timid self. It was a shame to see such a brave toa be reduced to this. “I’ve been better. What news do you bring?” He asked kneeling to the water. He moved his hand through it, scattering the fish that had been fighting. “War is coming, lesovikk. We need all of the help we can get. And that includes you.” She said, her voice calming. “I can’t go back, Hahli. I get too angry. I broke our code because I couldn’t control my rage. They will punish me, I will no longer be a toa.” He replied and smashed his fist into the water. “If we lose, there will be no toa left, brother.” Hahli replied. She moved over to lesovikk and knelt next to him. “We need you. We need every Toa we have.” “I can’t be called a Toa, not anymore.” He said angrily, and rose. Hahli stood and moved closer to him. She pointed to his chest. “You are one of the greatest Toa I have ever seen, Lesovikk.” he looked down, then clenched his fist. “Okay.” *** Tahu, Jaller, Ackar, Axonn, and Vakama stood in the private sector of the Temple. “Can we trust the Skakdi?” Tahu asked, still angry that the creature had entered the temple to start with. “Doubtful. But he does have a point. Even I cannot control the power of the mask. But it still lives within him, He understands it’s power. As insane as he is, he may very well be the only one who can use it, now that Mata Nui cannot.” Axonn replied. “Mata Nui is alive now, He lives within that mask. If he wishes to use that mask, he will have to control Mata Nui.” Vakama stated “Couldn’t mata Nui just use the power of the mask if our universe is in danger?” Jaller asked. “No. His power is restricted now. His power was to bring our universe to peace, but these creatures are from a different universe, they are nothing like us. I didn’t want to say it in the council because I didn’t want to argue with the Skakdi, but I don’t even think the mask will work against The Plague.” Axonn replied and strode across the room. “Then let’s figure out a plan.” Ackar began, “The mask currently is at the top of tower of this temple. When they attack, vezon uses the mask. If he fails, we move him to a secure location under the temple with the mask and protect it. We then fight the creatures, and attempt to win. If we fail… Mata Nui protect us. “Do you really want Vezon to have control of that mask again?” Tahu said, angered. “Mata Nui can reject him from using the masks powers. As vakama said, he would have to control Mata Nui, he can’t. But Mata Nui will do what he can. Our universe is in his hands, and these creatures are about to smash those hands.” Axonn responded. Another figure entered the room. It was another Toa. “Norik.” Vakama said as he watched him enter. He knew he would be arriving. “Good evening, turaga.” Norik replied, and looked around the room. “My fellow friends of fire. This is as good of a time as any to announce this. We Toa Hagah are reaching the end of our Toa Cycle. We are going to pass our powers down, become turaga. Now is as good of a time as any to find a new Toa of fire for me to pass on the legacy. He will need to learn the power of fire before this war.” Jaller moved forward. “I know just who you’re looking for.” *** The sun was descending into the horizon. The clouds blazed shades of red and yellow and purple. Here, was the grasslands, and area created by the merging of Bota magna and Bara magna. Hewkii sat in the grass, watching the sun descend. “The sunsets here are so much nicer than on mata nui.” Said a female voice. Hewkii turned to his left to see Macku. She walked over and sat next to him. “Another war. Unbelievable. Will we ever be at peace?” Hewkii asked, looking into the sun. “We will win, like we always do. A team of toa has stopped our greatest threats. This battle will include every force we can get together. Imagine how powerful we can be!” Macku exclaimed. “You heard how powerful these things are, Macku. This won’t be a simple struggle like we’ve gone through, this is war. And it’ll take more than just every force we can get to win it.” Hewkii said, a sad tone to his voice. “I…I know. I try to make myself feel better by thinking this will be easy..because I’m scared Hewkii.” She said, and fell into his arms. She rested her head on his chest. “I already know you toa will be separated from the rest of us, you’ll have a front line..us matoran will not be in the same chaos you will be in.” She looked straight into his eyes. “I don’t want to lose you.” “You won’t have to.” They looked to the right to see Toa Gaaki looking over them. She was holding a Toa Stone, similar to what Toa Lihkan had given the metrutoran before they became Toa. *** The night sky ripped in half. It morphed into a pitch black circle, that rotated violently. A black tornado erupted from the ground and met the spinning vortex in the sky. Purple lighting blasted through the clouds and crashed into the dirt. Something crawled from the vortex and buried into the ground. The vortex dissipated, and the tornado sunk back into the earth. The sky was peaceful once more. The ground rustled as a creature emerged from the dirt. It’s blazing white eyes pierced the night sky. It began to crawl forward.

^yes CHAPTER 1 The temple of the guard. This building was a massive dome, with a central tower that extended far into the sky, taller than any building on Spherus magna. This building was home to the greatest powers on Spherus magna. The glatorian and toa Had their meetings here. There were labs, living quarters, everything. Matoran and Agori who were outfitted for battle resided here. Even creatures that were once treacherous beings sometimes came here. The temple was created, however, because peace didn’t last on Spherus magna. Creatures and villains of the matoran universe began to have an urge for power. In addition, Spherus Magna was no longer alone. There were other planets in the universe, and some of those planet’s inhabitants were hostile to the inhabitants of Spherus. However today was a different day at the temple. The tower at the top was ablaze, a signal to all of Spherus guards to come to the temple, for an important announcement had to be made. The doors to the temple’s council opened. The council room was a large circular area of seats, with a large area on the back wall for the speakers known as the overlook. The 7 turaga entered the temple, and stood in the overlook. Around them, were the Toa nuva, Toa Mahri, A fraction of Glatorian, a small group of matoran and agori guards, and Axonn, wielding his massive axe. Another figure then enterd the room, one that close to no one ever saw. He was massive, with a single eye and golden yellow armor that gleamed in the light. He sat down, crossing his legs, yet as he did so he appeared to lift off the ground. “Keetongu, it is good to see you.” Vakama stated then looked around the council. “By now, some of you know of the Plague. An ancient army, from who knows where. They were looking for something long ago. The matoran and agori were told they had found it. We lied.” He turned to look at nokama. She approached the front, and placed her hands on the podium before her. “We read the stars. They are shifting, an uneven balance of power is trying to enter this universe. It’s hard to explain but..well, we weren’t the only ones who noticed this.” Nokama said, and stepped aside as a figure walked up next to her. He was unlike anything in the matoran universe. He was tall, covered in white and chrome armor. He had a mask, but it was simply a shaped plate covering his entire face. There was no emotion to him. This was a Nurae, a being from a neighboring planet known as Nuree. These beings were at peace with Spherus magna. “Turaga correct. Unknown occurrence confirmed. Nurae mobilizing. Reason: Possible enemy contacts. The Nurae will investigate this.” It said. Its voice was robotic, yet intelligent. Tahu leaped up. “Are they looking for the Ignika? Will the war for it ever stop?” he questioned, as Axonn placed his hand on his shoulder to calm him down. “They will not get their hands on that Mask. If something tries to take that again, they will be stopped. This time, we will be prepared.” Axonn noted “Oh, but will you be prepared for the Plague?” a crazed voice said. It was deep and raspy, yet had a sense of insanity to it. The room looked towards a single figure standing in the shadows. A tattered cape covered part of him. Jaller leaped from his place and drew his sword. “Vezon!” He yelled, remember the old foe who had once been fused to the mask of life. He aimed his cordak blaster at the silver and black being. Jaller had been under the control of the Skakdi fusion, however the creature had ceased them from duty when it found a new group of beings to protect it. Now Jaller was cautious of everything, and even the slightest sense of danger caused him to be on full alertness. “Relax you hotheaded freak of a Toa. I’m not going to kill you. Not today, at least.” Vezon said, the familiar grin appearing on his face. “How did you get here?” Axonn said, looking toward Vezon. “You were fused with the power of an Olmak, you could be sent to another dimension at any point!” He said, alreading sensing the Piraka’s response. “That is the beauty of it Axonn. I am more powerful than you realize. I learned to control the power.” Vezon said, slipping out of the shadow slightly. “Of course, I had some mishaps along the way. The occasional random dimension hopping became quite a pain to deal with. I met some interesting creatures along the way, creatures that make even us Piraka a beauty to behold.” Tahu leapt down from his place and approached the Piraka. “Then let me ask a more important question, and hopefully your answer is wise, Skakdi. Why are you here?” He asked, his eyes glowing red. Vezon stepped out of the shadow, and moved close to tahu. Vezon had gotten stronger. He now stood taller than the Toa Nuva of Fire, and power surged through him. “I was getting to that point you sad sorrY excuse for a hero.” Vezon spat. “As I was saying before this little flame interrupted me, I traveled multiple universes and dimensions. The beings known as the Plague have been to some of those universe I stumbled into accidentally. The planets were decimated, almost no survivors left. Every force put against the plague was wiped out. But there was a small group of survivors I talked to. The plague had stolen some relic from them. Which means whatever the plague want, it is more than just one item.” He said looking to the turaga. “They may very well be coming for the mask of life then.” Vakama said, a rush of déjà vu ran through him. “That’s not even the worst part, Turaga.” He replied, and laughed. “I may have been hiding in the shadow when one of you old scrap heaps told the story of the plague. Those plague that the toa faced were nothing. That was a small scouting group. The plague have massive creatures, ships, even their own mobile planet. At least, that is what the survivors told me.” “What happened to the survivors?” Gali asked. She actually trusted what vezon said; It all made sense. But why would he tell them this? “I decided to put them out of their misery.” Vezon replied, the devilish smirk appeared on his face once more. The toa gasped, the room was reminded of the treachery that the Piraka brought to the matoran universe. Even the Glatorian felt nothing but evil behind this creature. ”Don’t slag yourselves, you pathetic fools. I’m here to…offer my assistance.” Vezon replied. “They are coming for that mask, I’ll bet you anything on that. That mask is mine. It was a part of me. It IS a part of me. You don’t know how to handle it. When the Plague comes here- and they will come- I will use the masks power to kill them. Problem solved.” He said. His tone was serious, something that no one would ever have expected to come from his voice. Axonn slammed his axe into the floor. “We cannot trust you, Piraka. YouR kind can never be trusted.” Axonn stated, pointing at Vezon. “Oh, can you not? When those things come here, you will all die, there is no stopping them. And they would kill me too, Axonn. This affects us all. We all must be prepared; Even If I’d love to see you all die before my very eyes, i’d like to keep you around. Far more fun to torture live beings than to see you all a pile of ashes

I've got that bad feeling it'll be a long time before any stores around me get the new sets; we used to be one of the first, now it seems like it take forever for stores to stock them. Thouh I do have a Lego store near me now, so perhaps that could bring some hope

My rocka 4.0 revamp(nothing major this time around.), I didnt think this needed a topic of its own since its only two pics. The shield bits are ridiculously small to pass as a shield so I improvised. They are solar panels, using solar energy to create the sphere in his weapon, so he never has to carry ammo with him.(Even though he has an ammo belt...details details) I kind of like the rocka lion head on his one arm. On two arms it looks kinda wonky. Without it, it still looks nice, I just anted to see how I felt about the usage of that part as shoulder armor. And in addition, I like elements of asymmetric in my figures I also dont have any armor on his lower arms by choice; I chose a thiCker joint and personally I like it, though I can gurantee many of you wont. And lastly, yes I know one joint on the back of his leg is gray instead of black; I just didnt feel like searching on tyrant for a place to swap a black joint of that piece to gray;p

A very cool looking Chief And I was instantly able to tell it was the Halo 4 variant The AR seems a bit large however, but that might be hard to avoid I'd recommend making some other weaponry for him, or trying your hand at other characters to go with him
