Bionicle builds pg.7

(“-inues to confuse me on how I keep finding these masks everywhere I go.”)

Makuta 2:”It would seem as if they wanted to be found…or was leading us into a trap.”

Artakha:”Or perhaps someone else left these masks here for a reason…but why?”

Artakha:”Anyhow, have they not been a blessing? a sign that our journey is bearing fruit.”

Artakha:”Like your new weapon toa Dameta.”

(“Weapon?”)

(like as in ‘new’ weapon?)

[“Yes, you will need it for later.”]

Artakha:” behold, the ‘Emberstone Maul’ a weapon with the ability to copy the abilities of others around you and use them as your own,”

(“My own so I can just point it at someone and their power is mine?)

Artakha;(“Yes as long as it makes contact with someone then it can copy the power, but only one at a time.”)

Makuta 2:”Pardon the interruption, but I believe I have a better way to reach our destination.”

Makuta 2:”Me and our mutual ‘friend’ will go on ahead you go and scope out the perimeter.”

Artakha:”No! wait don’t-”

Artakha:”…leave without me…”

Artakha:”(sigh…)

(Dameta and Makuta emerge from the shadows)

Makuta2:”We are here, but where is the guardian?

(“Ok…head…spinning…”)

Makuta:”The gate guardian should be lurking here somewhere.”

(Hold on…Hold on…wait…never doing that again…)

Makuta 2 If the gatekeeper isn’t here, then they must be inside already.”

(“Uuugghh…hey hold on…”)

(“What’s that?”)

(Dameta approaches Ekimiu’s body)

(“Actually who is that?”)

(A glittering golden mask lies next to the unconcious stranger)

(“Kinda ugly, but looks like this guy could use it.”)

(Dameta looks at the figure before him, his golden armor was covered in scuffs the hammer looked like it was chipped in several places and the buzzsaw shield was dull around the edges)

(no doubt the mask belonged to this stranger, as Dameta slotted the mask on the strangers face he noticed another mask next to him)

(“Hmmm I like this one a little better than the other ones” Dameta mused as he examined the ornate mask)

(“A mask like this might be what we need to get around the fort”)

(Ekimu begins to stir behind dameta’s back)

(Ekimu sits up and turns to Dameta)

(“This one seems like my favorite so far-Oh hey he’s awake maybe he can…”

Makuta 2:”The gate seems like if we were to approach it at a high enough speed we could just phase through…”

Makuta 2:”But it should let the wish-granted through but then Karzahni would know…”

Makuta 2 “Perhaps If I just cut through like-”

(Dameta crashes trough the gate and shatters the barrier with such force that the glass does not shatter)

(Meanwhile)

(Sylus is scooting away from the monster before him, despite its small appearance the creature’s shadow loomed far down the room)

(A shape shot through the glass behind it and collided into the invisible figure, causing the behemoth to collapse, its false decoy mirroring the fall)

(The ground shook as the colossus crashed to the floor it lay unconscious after the dust settled the disorienting heatwave dispersing through the hole in the wall)

Sylus:”It’s really dead? or at the least down…”

Sylus:”Wonder if Ekimu actually got around to making that laser cannon I talked about earlier.”

Sylus:”Now if I can just…”

(“If I can Just…”)

Sylus:”Get Ekimu in here…”

(“Get Makuta in here…”)

Sylus:“We could-”

(“We could-”)

Sylus:”WOAH! hey! where did you come from, rust bucket?”

(“Could ask you the same thing if I could, tin man…”)

Sylus:”Not gonna say anything huh? woulda guess you’d talk more being one of Karzahni’s thugs.”

Sylus:”Oh? your approaching me? instead of running away your coming right at me, you look like you’d fall apart any second!”

(“Well I can’t tear your fancy armor to shreds without coming closer you toa wannabe!”)

Sylus:”Oh ho! then come as close as you li-”

(Crack!)

Sylus:”Ok, I let you do that come on! you wanna piece of me!”

(What? how is, how did…?”)

Sylus:”Nice hammer, gotta say you came pretty close to breaking through.”

(“But I hit hit him, how did he-”)

Sylus:”But not CLOSE ENOUGH!!”

(Dameta Uses the absorbed power of Inertia to block the blow before it connected)

(Avak is pacing nervously, the second he saw the red toa crash through the gate and topple the gate guardian, he knew he had to get out of there he had to-)

(Dameta is blown through the back of the trolley and lands next to Avak, the Inertia power deactivates and lets him rest for a second…)

(“It worked, it really worked this new weapon is amazing! but damn he’s stronger than I thought.“)

Sylus:”Nice trick you got there, copying my powers and using them against me? gotta say that’s a first for me, as for you however…”

(A door opens and Avak races out in a panic)

Avak:”Close the monorail doors!!”

(A deafening boom thunders out from the monorail station and blows the door straight off its hinges)

Avak:”Close hanger door one!!!”

(The brawl between the two titans crashes through the hanger door)

Avak:”Close hanger door two!!!!”

(That door also, gets destroyed in the battle)

Avak:”FORGET IT, CLOSE ALL THE HANGER DOORS!!!!”

(A bohrok worker is trying to reach a kanoka disk lodged inside of a oblivious quake beast)

Avak:”Out of my way!!!!”

Avak:”This is Avak, is the weapon ready yet?

comms worker:”No, we need to let the core cool first-”

Avak:”I don’t care just bring it out NOW!!!”

(The battle spills into the arena)

comms speaker:”Right away sir!!!”

Sylus:”Why.”

Wont.

You.

Just give up already!!!”

(In a flash Dameta reaches over to Sylus’s prosthetic arm…)

(…And rips it out of its socket, sparks fly everywhere from the severed joint)

Sylus:”Did you just do what I think you di-”

(“For a ‘toa’…”)

(“You talk too much:”)

(“Im sorry I had to do this, but this my only way to go ho-”

(Avak swings a haphazard device at Dameta barely missing his head, but shredding through his shoulder armor like it was made of paper, not reinforced protosteel)

(The device slips out of The brown ex piraka’s hands and clatters to the floor shutting off, Avak flees for his bunker after the failed attempt on Dameta’s life)

(“Shoulders…busted up… gonna… have to-”)

Sylus:”…You think your hot stuff?”

Sylus:”Coming here thinking your better than me because your a actual legit ‘toa’?”

Sylus:”Every one of you mock me because i’m different, that i’m not a real toa like them!!”

Sylus:”well your all the same!!!! just because I was made different means Im not as good as you?!!”

Sylus:”NO!!! I’M DONE WITH THE RIDICULE! I’M DONE BEING A JOKE TO EVERYONE!!!”

Sylus:”I’m tired, tired of everyone thinking i’m some freak, that I should be locked up or hunted down like an animal…”

(Dameta’s body, being mostly mechanical is in terrible shape fluids leak from the severed pipes, the chest cavity is cracked right down the middle, whats left of his armor is now useless scrap on the floor beyond repair)

Sylus:”WELL I’M A REAL TOA!!!!”

Sylus:”I’M. A. REAL. TOA!… i’m…i’m…”

(Dameta, realizing this is his end, turns his head and closes his eyes, ready for his fate, Sylus’s grip on the destructive cudgel wavers…)

(The weapon clatters to the floor still steaming from it’s use)

(Dameta looks up startled, surprised the final blow wasn’t stuck and that he was still here)

(He sits up with some effort and spots Sylus, sitting with his back to him)

Sylus:”I’m…i’m a fraud…”

Sylus:”I could never be like you, a toa hero like you…no matter how hard I try.”

Sylus:”I fail to protect the people around me, I kill those who don’t deserve it, I don’t even have real powers…”

Sylus:”I’m just a matoran playing pretend, I should have never become a toa in the first place…I’m a failure.”

(Dameta taps into a telepathy device he had stored inside his armor, he never used it but it seemed like a good time to use now)

Dameta:(“When I had my accident long ago, and was given my metal body, people thought I was a freak, a cold unfeeling machine, every village I visited cast me out when they learned I was mostly mechanical, they accused me of being a makuta in disguise, a dark hunter, and at worst, a abomination that sullied the title of ‘toa’ all because of what I looked like, and not who I was.”)

Dameta:(“No one would take me, every toa team every turaga and matoran I met scorned me for being different, and maybe they were right to at the time because I felt the same way you did, that I needed to prove myself to everyone that I was just like them, but then one day, a wise turaga taught me some very important lessons in life, eventually I learned that if you want people to respect you, you have show them your heart, what’s in here {points to chest}.”)

Dameta:”(“Just because your different doesn’t mean your lesser, it only matters if you let it get to your head.”)

Sylus:”You-you really think so?.”

(Dameta reaches out a hand to Sylus in a act of good faith)

(“I know so, now get your off the floor and help me back together dumbsh- I mean friend.”)

(Shadows gather underneath the doorway and out of them come Ekimu and Makuta)

Ekimu:”Sylus! we’re here!”

Makuta 2:”He was a fool to challenge the red one, he probably dead by now!”

Ekimu:”I refuse to believe that Toa Sylus would let your so called ‘champion’ defeat him so easily.”

Sylus:”Hey Eki and other…imposing guy.”

Sylus:”Could you give us a hand…and a arm?”

Sylus:”I’ve got A LOT of explaining to do.”

Sylus:”So how’d you and your brother make up?”

Ekimu:”Makuta? oh no we did fight, it was only when we realized we had the same goal in mind that we put our differences aside to work together.”

Ekimu:”So what about you? seems like you gave the other one quite a beating.”

Sylus:”You mean the red guy over there?”

Sylus:”He never said anything during our fight but he spoke to me in my head.”

Ekimu:”Really? what did he tell you?”

Sylus:”About being a toa regardless of where you come from or what you look like, though I never really got his name, but I think we can trust him.”

(A video camera watches from a high corner)

Avak:”So the boss’s ‘pets’ have decided to turn on him.”

Avak:”Well, I’ve always wanted to test this so…attention to all remaining staff! all projects are to be suspended in favor of Project; MAGICIAN and Project; PANDORA for Lord Karzahni!”

Avak:”Oh and get me the Okoto Unit…Project; ARACHNEA is ready for launch…”

<TO BE CONTINUED

Rotor:”Hey boss, ya wanted to sees me?”

Karzahni:”Oh course, there’s the matter of your reward.”

Rotor:“My…reward?”

Karzahni:”Oh don’t act so surprised after all you did humiliate my brother as I requested…”

Karzahni:”So in return as promised, I will grant you one wish.”

Rotor:”My wish…what should I wish for?”

Karzahni:”Please, take you time it doesn’t have to be now.”

Karzahni:”But it would be a terrible shame If something happened to you in between then and now…”

(Rotor ponders what he could wish for money, power, anything, so hard to choose with only one wish, but what if…)

Rotor:”I wish for…Infinite wishes!!”

Karzahni:”…really? infinite wishes?”

Rotor:”Uhhh can I not do that or-”

Karzahni:”Granted! Infinite wishes it is!”

Rotor:”What really?”

Karzahni:”Of course i’m a god not a genie, so giving someone infinite wishes is a no brainer.”

Karzahni:”Alrighty! what is your ‘first’ wish?”

Rotor:”Infinite power! as strong as you are!”

Karzahni:”Your wish…”

…Is yours to keep.”

(Karzahni snaps his fingers and a gust of wind fills the room, Rotor feels a surge of power rush through him)

Rotor:”All right! with dis much power, I don’t need you any more, now I’ll rule this world and I’ll be the one callin da sho-”

(Rotor’s meteor blaster explodes as he tries to fire it blowing his arm to bits, the criminal mob boss screams as arm is engulfed in a fireball)

Rotor:”You…you tricked me!! what did you do!!!”

Karzahni:”Me? I didn’t do anything except grant your first wish, and it seems like you can’t handle it.”

Rotor:”You dirty cheatin son of a-”

(Rotors other arm explodes, taking his other arm with it in a inferno)

Karzahni:”Funny, that furno fellow asked the same thing you did, and he could hold much much better than you could, well? you still have a magnitude of wishes to go through so ask away.”

Rotor:”(Cough) well…you…punk (Wheeze) I…wish…to get…outta this…in one…”

(Enraged, Rotor charges the mad lord chopper blades spinning at max speed)

Rotor:”…One-”

(The propeller blade is stopped suddenly by Karzahni’s hand, the engine on Rotor’s back starts to smoke and spark)

Karzahni:”In one piece? sure! wish granted”

(Seconds later a deafening boom shakes the secluded alleyway, scorched limbs and armor go everywhere, a propeller blade flies off into the sky before crashing back down)

Karzahni:”(Humming)”

Karzahni:”Alas poor Rotor, I knew him not…”

Karzahni:”Tis be such a shame that he had to go this way…”

Karzahni:”Honestly, I had no clue that you were going to betray me like Tuyet, but she’s as subtle as her power here, non-existent.”

Karzahni:”Though unlike her, you always wanted to go out…”

Karzahni:”With a bang…(Crazed laughter)
