Bionicle Builds pg. 10

Karzahni:”So…here we are, me and you, you’ve come a long way to die by the hands of yours truly, I’m touched that you care so much...”

Karzahni:”Look at this, all three of you before me, the traitorous worm, the mute freak and the ‘toa’.”

Makuta2:”Enough, your reign is over, you cannot run anymore!”

Karzahni:”On the contrary, I believe it is you who should have run, and now you can’t hide from me either…”

Sylus:”Do you ever shut up?!”

Karzahni:”Impatient are we?”

Karzahni“Tsk tsk…well your gonna have to be more patient if you wanna go toe to…(Karzahni delivers a powerful back kick to Sylus as he lunges by)…FOOT with me!”

Karzahni:”And you, you look like you wanna say something to me?”

(“How about I break your face?”)

(A chain shoots up in-front of Dameta and wraps around his neck, Karzahni does a flip over him as he tumbles off the platform)

Karzahni:”How about…(mocking voice) “oH KaRaHzNi pLeAsE! mErCY! YoUr t0O StrOng f0R Me, SpArE mE!” that totally sounds like you.”

Karzahni:”Aw whats the matter? muaka got your-

(Dameta rears back and Headbutts Karzahni)

Karzahni:”…

Karzahni:”Well fine then, go hang out with the rest of the trash!”

Karzahni:”Sit tight kiddos I’ll deal with you later.”

Karzahni:”Now where is my good good pal not-makuta?”

Karzahni:”Eh, probably ran off to abandon his friends like always, heh ha hehhahahhahahhaaahhanh!”

(Makuta silently materializes behind the mad lord, he rears back his fist and drives it home into…

(…Helryx’s outstretched hand, despite it’s frail appearance it felt like hitting a brick wall)

Makuta:”Helyrx? what are you…”

Helryx:”You just never learn…do you?”

(With unnatural speed and strength, Helryx flings Makuta over her head and onto the ground, hard)

Helryx:”I’m sorry, did that hurt? was I too rough?”

Makuta2:”You…why?”

Helryx:”Well isn’t it obvious? you thought it was Toa Helryx…”

Karzahni:”But It was me! Karzahni!”

Makuta2:”No…why did you do this?”

Karzahni:”Well to answer your silly silly question you silly goose...”

Karzahni:”I really just wanted to screw with you personally, though I suspected you, like all the other ‘hopeful’ might try to betray me, so I thought I’d wear the dead remains of some old toa to get you to confess your true feelings and guess what? presto! worked perfectly as always…”

({sarcastically}“Damn, even with all our ‘admittedly poorly thought out and rushed’ powers combined, we still can’t beat him.”)

(“Fortunately, I always have my plan b right-)

(Dameta reaches for his hammer only to find it snapped at the base, Makuta’s heavy armored claw had broken it in the fall)

{breathes in} (“DAMMIT!”)

(“Fantastic, now not only is Makuta and captain useless out of commission, Ive got nothing but my gloves to defend myself from that psychopath…but getting close would be a death sentence…”)

(“So how am I suppose to…{notices Sylus’ weapon} actually you know what? he wouldn’t mind if I…”)

Karzahni:”And that’s it folks! I win! thats right me! I am God-Emperor Karzahni, and I. Never. Lo-”

(A cyclone blasts Karzahni off his feet sending him a good distance away)

Karzahni:”Urrrggghhkkk!”

(“I can’t believe he had this thing and never used the any of it’s elemental powers…so as for you…”)

(If you wanted a real fight…”)

(“Then how about we fight it proper one on one, your move demon.”)

Karzahni:”That sword…Artakha made it didn’t he? thought he could have someone else put me down when he can’t even do it himself, typical…now give me that blade or else…”

(The sword glows again and pepper Karzahni with dozens of rocks all moving at such high speeds that they were almost invisible, one rock blows the tyrant’s arm off as he is sent smashing into a building)

(“Or else what huh? what’s the matter? can’t handle a bit of fresh air?”) to himself*((seriously need to talk to Sylus about how he doesn’t even use this thing’s full power it’s incredible.))

Karzahni:”(weak chuckIe)I see i’ve been, ‘disarmed’ hehehehehack…ok that joke…actually hurt…ow.”

Karzahni:”Now I know what your think-”

Karzahni:”Well ok fine…wasent like I was going to tell you how to go home or anything…”

Karzahni:”So fine, I give, I give…you want that mask so badly? take it! several people already wanted the damn thing so you can have it. you turn around and leave and I will let you go…no strings attached, really.”

(“Really…”)

Karzahni:”Yes yes really of course you can-”

(“No, you really think I’m just going to let you fool me again?”)

Karzahni:”You’ll never leave this place…because, I’ve already figured it out…”

Karzahni:”And when HE comes you will pay! you’ll all pa-

(In one swipe the megalomaniac’s head was severed from his shoulders, the head bounced off into the darkness as the rest of the body collapsed)

(“It’s done then…)

(“You will stay a memory, now and forever.”)

Karzahni:”That’s right he will, though I will miss him, he was a good man, may he rest in pieces.”

(“H-How?”)

Karzahni:”I’m a god silly remember? You never saw me do that before? oh your missing out, handy! show him what you showed me earlier!”

(Before Dameta could respond one of Karzahni’s severed arms shot up from the ground and wrapped itself around Dameta’s neck like some giant snake and tore his mask from his face)

Karzahni:”Poor poor naive toa…”

Karzahni:”Alas poor…Themeta I knew you, and I loved you…”

Karzahni:”…Like gen 2…(sniff) I will miss you too…”

Artakha:”Karzahni!”

Karzahni:”However…”

Artakha:”Your time has come…”

///CAUTION! DATA CORRUPTED! DO YOU WISH TO PROCEED?…\Y\N

“The mask of desiccation is{FILE REDACTED}WARNING! CRITICAL FAILURE DETECTED. REBOOTING…///

{audio log}

“Hello? is anyone listening? if you are reading this, It’s too late for me, it’s like He knows where I am no matter where I hide (“Come out wherever you are”) and it’s because of this damn mask, Jarren told me not to take it and I didn’t listen to him, and now he’s dead, that thing that killed him…It looked like a Makuta, but the way it moved and talked it wasn’t-(Footsteps) That mask we found the cursed thing won’t stop whispering (You can’t hide from me) the damned whispering, if I make it out of here, I’m going to destroy this evil thing, this mask…the…the voices are telling me to put it on…no…no…I…I…won’t…won’t…(door screeching) (Found You…) oh…great spirit preserve me…no…no! NO-(audible screams) (static)”

{END OF RECORDING}…

Karzahni:”My time? my time has been well spent thinking about some things like, murder, violence, dental hygiene…”

Karzahni:”…Who you actually are…and more importantly…when to use this!”

(The crazed lunatic flashed a shiny golden cudgel and just as quickly as it was revealed smashed it into the ground)

(Rather than create anything the Architect’s cudgel broke apart revealing a cylindrical object inside…a key)

Karzahni:”Clever clever brother, you always did have that spark…”

Karzahni:”But you…you aren’t him are you? but even if I can’t quite figure out who you really are, that. won’t. matter.”

Karzahni:”With the power inside the Cryptus, I will surpass you and become…divinity incarnate.”

Artakha:”Were I you brother…I would step away from that box but then again…you were never one to do as you were told.”

Karzahni:”Witness a new glorious dawn! gaze upon my glory for I AM GO-what is that?”

(From out of nowhere Ekimu descended from the shadows and with a mighty cry brought his hammer down on Karzahni’s skull leaving a massive crater in the back of his head, grayish liquid splattering from his eyes onto the floor)

Ekimu:”Excellent plan as always master! teleporting me above him to deliver the final blow.”

Artakha:”Of course…”

Karzahni:”That…was~waswaswas~ a mistake.”

Karzahni:”But y-y-y-y-y-y0u still can’t st0ppppppppfff…(Karzahni tries to lift his arm but stops, it’s stuck inside the inner workings of the Cryptus…)

Karzahni:”C-c’m0n…let `me-me-me~…”

Karzahni:”…G0! Damn you!1! WHY WON”T Y0U…[garbled speech]”

(What’s going on?” Dameta thought as he looked on in awe)

Ekimu:”Whatever it is…we better stand back.”

(As Karzahni Continues to pry at his arm, a eerie mist begins to surround the dark lord)

Karzahni:”N0…N-N01!”

(Karzahni struggles against the mist as it enters the cracks in his armor, soon he begins to rise)

Karzahni:”I had so mu-u-uch [potential] I d0n;t want to g0 ye-e-et!”

(Mist begins to billow from behind Karzahni’s Olisi, then without warning flames erupt from every part of his body)

Karzahni:’AAAAÆÄÀÁÂÄÀÃÁÆÆÆAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-H-H-H-H-H-H!1!11!1111!111!11111!”

(Soon the charred body the mad tyrant begins to fall, parts of his body begin breaking off as more grey liquid continues leaking out everywhere)

Karzahni:”B-but I Æmperor-G0-0-0-0-d…KÅRŽÀHÑĮ1! I…NEVER LOSE-”

(Karzahni’s last scream of agony was silenced as he shattered like glass, the shards crumbling into ash into the wind)

Sylus:”WHOOOOOOO yeah baby! that’s what I’ve been waiting for!”

Sylus:”I can’t believe that he’s finally dead!”

Sylus:”WOOOOOoooo…um why’s everyone staring at me for?”

Ekimu:”You…why?”

Sylus:”Why what?

Ekimu:”Why did you do this to us?”

Sylus:”What are you talking about? Ekimu I have no idea what your saying.”

Ekimu:”You think our lives are some game to you?”

Ekimu:”Artakha told me everything, SHOWED me everything, yes all of it, how you made a wish to Karzahni, how you staged everything all for your ‘adventure’…how you made my and everyone else’s lives a living hell…just for kicks?!?!”

Makuta2:”HE DID WHAT?!”

(“That son of a-”)

Ekimu:”After all this time…after journeying with you, fighting with you, becoming your friend?! was that for nothing? was I just a pawn in your game too?!”

Sylus:”Ekimu, I-”

Ekimu:”LIAR!!! Look at what you’ve done…look at the destruction and death…and tell me all those lives wasted were enough for you...”

Ekimu:”Was creating that monster!? the same one responsible for the graveyard we have to make now because of you?!”

Sylus:”No…I-I…”

Ekimu:”Don’t even bother, I…I just want to go home, If we were really friends…then you’ll leave and never, NEVER come back…we’re done.”

Makuta2:”Thanks…for nothing I guess.”

Sylus:”D-Dameta, buddy please you gotta believe me right right?”

Dameta:(If I ever see you again…I’ll kill you.”)

(Dameta raises his arm to give Sylus a rude middle-fingered gesture before storming off)

(Artakha watches on through the whole scenario, un-speaking through the whole thing)

Artakha:”I want you to know that while what you have done is unspeakably wrong, and that I can’t condone your actions…”

Artakha:”There is a way to redeem yourself, this is your one chance to fix the mess you’ve gotten yourself into.”

Sylus:”How? please…how can I fix this? I never wanted this…”

Artakha:”I appreciate your willingness to repent,all you need to do is…open the box.”

Sylus:”…W-what?

Artakha::…Open. the. box.”

(A immediate chill went through Sylus’ spine, and as if by magic his body started to move on it’s own)

(There was nothing he could do as made his way towards the Cryptus)

(Intricate gears and carvings lined the container, it would have been beautiful had it not been for the mist pouring out of the sides)

(Sylus’ heartlight raced as he tried to stop himself from moving further, but it was no use)

(Slowly his hand shakily reached for the key on top and slowly pried it off)

Artakha:”Insert it around the back of the device.”

(Sylus managed to hesitate a second before inserting the key, but a force magnetized the key and forced it in)

(Gears whirred to life as the box slowly opened revealing…nothing?)

Artakhi:”Empty? a shame…”

Artahni:”And to think you could have redeemed yourself here.”

(in a instant Sylus gasped and felt a familiar sword jutting out of his midsection)

Artazhni:”You…disappoint me…”

(It was all Sylus could do as pain overwhelmed him, Karzahni’s Olisi staring back at him)

(Sylus collapses to the floor, the blade had punctured several critical components to his energy pack, the crystals cracked and leaking energy)

Kartakzahni:”…and for that you are done.”

(Artakha sauntered over to Sylus’ kneeling form and violently ripped the blade from his back)

Sylus:”W-w-why?…You said…I could leave here after I…I.”

arzahni:”Did I say that? oh you must be talking about our little bargain from before.”

Karzahni:”Well…I thought about it some and you know what?”

Karzahni:”I think i’m going to make some changes the the deal, since well, you didn’t follow through on your end, what can I say? after, (shrugs) all I am a god and a profitable bargainer.”

Sylus:”It…was…you? you d-d-did all this?”

Karzahni:”Yes, why are you so surprised? You did after all wish for a ‘grand adventure’ like the rest of the fools after you.”

Karzahni:”The Cryptus is open all according to my plan, and it is all. your. fault…”

Karzahni:”At least, as far as they know you did it because you wanted the power for yourself…since that’s what I’ll tell them.”

Sylus:”The box…why did you…”

Karzahni:”Because while it wouldn’t have killed me…touching it would have marked me for death, which is where you came in.”

Karzahni:”That’s why I needed that clone to open the box for me, you knew this, after all you helped me create it, just as I made you…and like any creation the both of you have outlived your usefulness, with my lesser clone’s demise my power is fully restored!”

Karzahni:”But I will allow you to witness my ascension before I leave to finish off your ‘friends’ Behold true power!”

Karzahni:”Ahhh it feels so good to finally be back, though it would seem that my body is still not quite up to par.”

Karzahni:”In due time I will reach my true potential…but as for you…”

Karzahni:”I have to thank you for getting me this far, without you this would have never been possible, and all you had to do was wish for it.”

Karzahni:”I would stay but I have much to catch up on, now that your little game is over…The Prodigal wherever he might be will take care of you, and soon, not even he can hold power over me anymore.”

Karzahni:”Farewell my dearest creation, may you find peace in whatever afterlife you find yourself in, because the TRUE game here…has just begun…”

<…

“A ghastly black Kanohi mask created from corrupted masks and a fragment of shadows, the mask has the unique quirk of being dual sided this side is the feral side of the mask, the Onai. the mask’s horned side grants the wearer extreme strength and endurance as well as becoming nearly invincible, but such a power demands a dire price as wearing this side of the mask makes the user extremely hostile and vicious to the point where everyone around them is at risk, caution is advised.”

“This kanohi mask was made by the Makuta of Okoto using his forbidden techniques that are considered taboo in most circles, the only known user of this Kanohi is Sylus who used it to defeat Umbra in the Silent City.”

“The only thing I see when I look into the eyes of that mask is…anguish.”-Ekimu

Thrall:”awaken…

Sylus:’(Gasp) Karzahni! he’s…he’s still out there, I-I…”

Sylus:”I’m still alive? but I thought…”

Sylus:”Is this the afterlife? wow, a lot dirtier than I thought it would be…”

Thrall:”you…”

Sylus:”huh? are you…wait, this isn’t the afterlife is it?”

Thrall:”must stay…show you…show you…you…”

Sylus:”Uhhhhh-”

Sylus:”-Oh my ga-”

Sylus:”Who? what are you?”

Sylus:”Me? chosen? why me? i’m not special, well I guess I kind of am by normal standards...”

Sylus:”But I don’t even have powers or anything, how am I suppose to defeat Karzahni?”

Sylus:”Wait? what are you talking about?”

(As the blade touches Sylus’ heartlight, visions of his life flash before his eyes from the moment he was made, to when he became a toa, and when he created his Olmak to travel through different dimensions to…now)

Sylus:”Guilty? then shouldn’t I be punished for that?”

Sylus:”You…want me touch the box? well alright then.”

Sylus:”Honestly, my idea of punishment sounds far worst then whatever thi”

(The second Sylus’ fingers brushed the surface of the Cryptus, a sharp pain shot up his arm like razors for a split second before completely stopping)

Sylus:”What…what was that?”

(Sylus glanced at his hand to see a faint glow coming from his fingertips)

(As soon as the fingers of the Prodigal touched Sylus forehead he blinked and found himself outside of Karzahni’s fortress)

Sylus:”Huh…I’m outside?”

Sylus:”Was…that real? I guess I’ll find out soon enough…“

The End…

[ KARZAHNI’S WORLD ]

…of Season 1

Coming soon; BIONICLE CROSSROADS, Season 2; [ [ HUNTING { } SALVATION] ]

“the Thrall is the personal servant of God-Emperor Karzahni made to do his bidding from mundane cleaning to overseeing larger projects when it’s master is absent, while not always present at it’s master side, it can be observed milling about in various spots in the stronghold. While it appears to be a heavily discolored toa, there have been not reports of it using powers of any kind or even defending itself during combat. While capable of speech and basic motor functions, this empty husk’s will is clearly not its own, could there be another voice behind that mask?”

“…” -Thrall?

“The Cryptus was created long ago by Karzahni to act as a gateway for the Prodigal of Salvation to enter the physical realm. the box was made as a arcane anchor of sorts for the entity to exit from since it had become so powerful that it could no longer tangible exist without some kind of vessel to keep it from disappearing back into the void. Karzahni had intended to use this container to not only bring the Prodigal into a physical body, but to also restrain it and sap it’s power for himself.”

“As a failsafe the Cryptus was also cursed, so that anyone who touched it would be marked, marked individuals would be judged by the Prodigal itself to prove their worth, the unworthy being destroyed and the worthy being granted a wish.”

Karzahni would link this technology to God-Emperor Karzahni, a life-like automaton that could grant infinite wishes, in hopes that he could use this fake body to slowly drain the Prodigal’s energy in the event the Cryptus failed in it’s original purpose, the box however needed a key in order to be opened so Artakha stole the keyand built his Architect’s cudgel with the key inside to keep the Cryptus from ever being opened, Artakha was killed before he could hide the cudgel and it has been hiding in plain sight ever since...”

“I never knew it was a key, I just wanted to use it to make something cool, like a key…to a…box, wait…”-Sylus

“This paracausal being is partially responsible for Karzahni ruling the Matoran Universe. The Prodigal is a entity that grants wishes to other beings in exchange that they only give a portion of their life essence to it.”

While it is uncertain what this entity actually is, certain sources point to it being a Collector, a race of beings that travel the multiverse to harvest powers from beings from the various worlds they visit, once one absorbs enough power it becomes a Collector lord, a being of near unlimited power capable of destroying a universe. While the Prodigal’s motives are unclear it does not appear to be driven by greed like its kin but is rather anonymous in it’s dealings, helping anyone who simply desires to make bargains with it, after however the individual was judged first to prove that they were worthy of such powers.”

“The Prodigal first made itself know when Karzahni was about to make a trip to Voya Nui, it sensed his desire to know more about the universe and spoke to him offering a wish, the mad lord wished to see his own future and was terrified at the result, determined to change fate, Karzahni wished to know how to conquer the Universe…and he did so under it’s watchful eye.”

“This being possessed immense power besides wish granting but most notably; teleportation, mind reading, the ability to see into one’s past, and many many other powers yet to be revealed. While it was said to emotionless it did show some degree of anger When it learned of Karzahni’s plan to betray it, and sympathy towards Sylus’ past granting him a wish free of charge, it is aware that if Karzahni steals it’s powers, then no world will be safe from him and thus no one to grant wishes to...”

“As with all things…a price must be paid, no matter how big or small it might be…”-The Prodigal

“The signature mask of Toa Dameta Toa of Iron this Kanohi grants it’s wearer the power to transfer and withdraw energy into objects, objects affected by this power are supercharged and can be used to power generators and vehicles as well as empowering weapons and armor with pure energy, however objects that retain this energy for extended periods without any withdraw will inevitably explode letting the user set traps if they wish. While Dameta can use other Kanohi masks, he primarily relies on the Kolloh to empower his weapons such as his hammer or claws as those were designed to hold such power without detonating.”

“Ekimu Would later create a copy of the Kolloh for Sylus on his journey to the next world, and Dameta would likewise receive a copy of Sylus’ mask, the Kanohi Felwiin, mask of inertia as a tradeoff.”

“What if we could use this mask to power a city? then we…nevermind, just wishful thinking I guess…”-Ekimu

Makuta2:”So…will he…accept this?”

Ekimu:”Of course! this craftsmanship is incredible, It looks just like the real thing! you just need to finish painting it just…remember to shake the container next time okay?”

Makuta2:”I…a simple thank you would not be enough to show how much I appreciate what your doing for me.”

Ekimu:”It’s no problem brother, I’m just sorry that I never encouraged you to stay on the right path, but when we return to Okoto, we can start to rebuild all that we have lost.”

Makuta2:”Rebuild…yes, I can already see a new chapter on the horizon.”

Ekimu:”Alright then keep at it.”

(Dameta sits at the edge of the tower overlooking the land below)

Ekimu:”Toa…Dameta? I assume you are well?”

(“Yes…”)

Sylus:”It’s been a week since we vanquished Karzahni for good, so what troubles you?”

(“Home…How am I gonna go home now that Karzahni is dead? and I still have so many questions like…why did Sylus do all this? why were those masks from, my past showing up along the way? why am I here to begin with?”

Ekimu:”There must be alot of questions you must have like, why Sylus did those things, or those masks you told me about, or even how do we even get you home?”

(“I just said that, you doofus.”)

Ekimu:”or maybe…just maybe you could be the toa this place needs, sure we might not have a toa of fire anymore but I’m sure you’ll fit right in-

(“Iron, toa of Iron, why does everyone think I’m a toa of fire? anyways…”)

(“Think fast!”)

(Faster than Ekimu could react one of Dameta’s jet claws shot up and stopped inches away from Ekimu’s terrified face)

(Dameta withdrew his gauntlet and let out a silent guffaw)

(“Man, you should have seen the look on your face ha! but otherwise, I can wait no problem, unless…“)

(“What if Sylus knows about the Olmak? if we could find him again he might know here it is, but he disappeared after we left the fortress so…”)

Ekimu:”Ok…no touching i’m sorry sorry…”

{*in sign language}

Dameta:(”*hey Ekimu, do you think we can find Sylus anywhere or can you make another Kanohi Olmak?”)

Ekimu:”*Oh well making another mask would be extremely difficult, and as for Sylus he has been-”

Artahka:”Ekimu, can you come over here for a second I need to talk to you.”

Ekimu:”Alright i’m coming! sorry Toa Dameta, we’ll continue talking about this later.”

Ekimu:”Your doing great Brother keep at it!”

Makuta2:”Thank you…”

Ekimu:”You called for me master?”

Artakha:”I wanted…to ask you something…if you could make a wish what would you wish for?”

Ekimu:”What? where…where are you?”

Artakha:”Nevermind, the fact that you still refer to me as ‘Master’ means that your trust, like your faith…is misplaced.”

Artahka:”But worry not my dear old friend…I can grant you freedom from masters.”

Artahka:”Freedom from gods, lords, all…you shall no longer be a slave and a puppet to the unknown as I was.”

Ekimu:”Wh-why are you saying this? is…is something wrong?”

Kartazahi:”All you need do…”

Karzahni:”…my dear Ekimu…”

Karzahni:”Is wish for it.”

Ekimu:”K-karzahni?! but…we…we.”

Karzahni:”Killed me? well then you shouldn’t believe everything your told then, shouldn’t you?”

Ekimu:”Then…the one back there was…”

Karzahni:”A fake yes, but one you all fell for all the same, Sylus was a useful pawn to me but now…he’s been disposed of…”

Karzahni:”And so shall you!”

(The godborne vanished from Ekimu’s view, seconds later he could feel his body being pushed through the walls, milliseconds later he crashed in a heap on the tower)

Makuta2:”B-brother? what happened?!”

Karzahni:”Fate happened…or should I say, I happened…”

Karzahni:”For you see no one but the select few can escape their destinies, a tragic and unfortunate cycle we live in.”

Karzahni:”But…I have found the way out and through me…Salvation will achieved, all you must do is submit and you will be set free.”

(“Free my ass, what did you do to Artakha?!”)

Karzahni:”My brother? oh yes him…he died ages ago, but his body was perfect for my master plan,and I must say you Dameta, are such a interesting specimen.”

Karzahni:”Oh? fighting already? marvelous…”

Makuta2:”Brother! Brother! are you alright? speak to me!”

Ekimu:”Ugh, ahhh my arm…my…my arm…”

Makuta2:”Don’t speak, just hold on!”

Makuta2:”And maybe we can-”

Karzahni:”Escape? no Makuta, there. is. no. escape just as death is, especially not for you.”

(Karzahni causally saunters over to the Mask Maker duo dragging a barely alive Dameta in his hand)

Karzahni:”Allow me to make an example for you on your futile effor-”

Sylus:”Karzahni!!”

Karzahni:”Hmmm? oh wait it’s just you again…”

Karzahni:”Back so soon? I thought I made myself clear the first time…”

Sylus:”Well sorry, I was busy being dead, you wanna try it? I recommend it.”

Karzahni:”So the traitor toa returns…wanting…”

Tahu2:”Was our grand game not enough to satisfy you?”

Karzahni:”Like I said, you…are nothing built by me to nothing,and you have accomplished…nothing.”

Sylus:”Then…why? why all this…”

Karzahni:”Because look around you, this place, this universe…it’s all falling apart, your Great Spirit failed you! let this world fall into darkness despair! NO! this world needs a caretaker, a proper ruler, A GOD.”

Karzahni:”Without me this entire realm will DIE…do you realize what you intend to do? killing me will only damn us all!!”

(A faint crackle of energy flows into Sylus’ hand)

Karzahni:”So tell me, do you believe what that thing in that box told you was the truth? that it wants to save everyone?! The Prodigal speaks only lies, and once I take it’s power, I will only bring the TRUTH-”

(Sylus’ hand sparks to life, greenish energy crackling in his fingertips, as quickly as this happened He grasped onto Karzahni’s mask)

Karzahni:”AAAUUURRRGHHHHH!!!!!”

(Makuta and Ekimu watch on in disbelief as Karzahni struggled to free himself from Sylus’ new power)

Karzahni:”THIS…POWER…WHERE…DID?!”

(Karzahni could feel himself growing weaker as the mysterious power drained him of his power)

Sylus:”Omae wa moh shinderu.”

Karzahni:”W-what?”

(With all the power barely contained in his hand, Sylus thrust is palm forward releasing the energy in a single blast, blowing the Godborne King off the edge into the abyss below)

(Sylus only stood there for what seemed like hours watching the place where a god stood before his hand was smoking as the energy flickered and faded)

(Sylus looked at his hand, the once inert metallic fingers now had grown into glowing neon claws, his arm, while being entirely prosthetic felt like it was about to explode, the rest of his body, felt shaky and disoriented)

Sylus:”So this was the power the Prodigal gave me…”

(Sylus could only watch as his arm crumbled into scrap, clearly it could not handle the power it once held)

Sylus:”I guess I was lucky it didn’t kill me…”

Ekimu:”Sylus? your alive? where have you been?”

Makuta2:”In all my years…”

Ekimu:”And your arm! how are you not freaking out right now?”

Sylus:”Guess I just…expected it, as for my death, you really believe everything they tell you huh?”

Ekimu:”No…I most certainly do not!”

Makuta2:”Yes…yes he does.”

Sylus:”Lucky you buddy, there just happens to be this mask of renewal right here, when did you get this?”

Ekimu:”He found it in a corner of the workshop, and how do you know what that it is?”

Sylus:”You see, I…had anj old buddy of mine long ago, toa of plantlife who wore a mask just like this one, they also gave me this kopesh amulet, said it had some kind of venom inside…”

Sylus:”Alrighty then looks like you’ll definitely be living today, lets just-”

(In a split moment Karzahni blinked into existence behind Sylus fist reared back ready to strike)

Karzahni:”DÍĘ.”

(Sylus turns around in time to see Makuta standing between him and Karzahni, a fist piercing through his torso)

Makuta2:”T-tell…my br-brother…Ekimu…”

Makuta2:”To remember…me…as…a…a…mask…maker.”

“The True Karzahni of this world, and master of manipulation, When Karzahni took over the Matoran universe his first order was to instantly kill Makuta Teridax on the spot preventing any potential uprisings from occuring, next he imprisoned many powerful beings in time like The Shadowed One, Trem Krom, and several other great beings, next was to hunt down any toa who opposed his rule. When he tracked down his brother Artakha both fought for many days and nights, but alas Artakha eventually succumbed to his wounds and perished, victorious Karzahni took on the appearance and mask of his late brother and used it to bring many of the universes toa to the island of Artakha where he slaughtered them all save for the toa of light Takanuva who he deceived into granting him his essence and power over light and shadow, giving his disguise a white and greyish color. thus emptying the world of anyone who could resist his rule and of any hope they might of had.”

“…At least it was empty until a strange toa appeared one day in his throne room and shared with him a wish for a ‘grand adventure.”
