Matsuoka Nui

I think it's a bit better because on the other copy, he introduced himself and seemed a bit "nice"?? (don't ask) But anyway, this version shows that he had no care about others even though he and Surel were "outcasts".

Review Story Chapter 7: A New Friend River of Protodermis By the time Lewa and Tanma arrived, no one was there. “Where could our Makuta-Friend fly off to?” muttered Lewa. Tanma channeled a small burst of light from his sword, and then walked around, looking to see if there was anything that could explain Miserix’s absence. “Could this be?” said Tanma, “Why he left?” Lewa approached to the Av-Matoran, who handed him a tablet. Lewa looked at the message, then dropped it as if the rock was about to bite him. “So it seems,” he muttered, “Hang on, we’re going to find the other toa-heroes!” “What’s going on?” asked Tanma. “No time,” said the toa of air, “Now let’s go! Before some weird rahi of his comes…” *** Mezai Country After flying through dimensional space, Sakari appeared in a darken forest. It seemed similar to the one in Era Country, but a darker sensation. Then she heard a noise that came from behind. She turned to see a small vehicle rushing, then stopped. A lone stranger got up from the vehicle and looked at Sakari with wonder. Then he said, “Who are you? What brings you here?” “I just came from another world; I’m looking for my kingdom. Could you kindly tell me where I am?” “For a stranger, this is Mezai Country. Well at least that’s what we used to say,” came the reply, “Tell me your name.” “Sakari.” “Well Sakari, I hate to rush you but we must hurry, there’s a storm of shadows that are coming. I’ve been going into hiding for the last several months. Most of the people in my village had vanished, never to return. Come with me, I know a hide out that’s not far from here.” The two got on the vehicle and soared off. Along the way, Sakari asked, “What is your name?” “I’m Syarix,” said the stranger. *** Main Dimension, Spherus Magna Temple of Ancestors Mata Nui walked silently through the pathway. He wanted to get to the temple unnoticed though he knew that a guard might be present. But it turned out that no one was there. Then that’s good, he thought, cause I need time alone, to think and to pray. Then he saw a series of pillars which were the entrance to the temple. He took out his torch and ignited it and stepped inside. Though there were statues and carvings, the one particular place where he wanted to see was beneath the grounds. Averax Palace Skralla tried to sleep but with Mata Nui’s absence, she felt a cold touch of fear. I hope he’s alright…but what is he seeking for? There’s nothing down there but carvings and statues of our past and present… She could call Belirax and talk to her but the female Skrall was busy doing other things. Maybe this is all of a dream, she thought, maybe I’ll wake up and see Sakari standing beside me. Realizing that it was no use, she got up from the bed and took out her cloak. A while back, before Spherus Magna was reborn, she used this cloak when she ran away from Tuma in order to disguise her presence. She put it on and went downstairs, heading towards the outside. It began to rain as she walked across the streets. Then she started to run, trying to find Mata Nui in the temple. *** Mezai Country “So, where did you live in this country?” asked Sakari as she and Syarix walked into a small hut. “I didn’t,” he answered, “I used to live in another world. Then one day, a storm of shadows appeared, destroying everyone and everything in its path. I fled towards the forest in that realm, hoping that the shadows wouldn’t follow me. Then I saw a small flash of light and the next moment, I was knocked out. When I woke up, I appeared in this world. I eventually built this small hut, though there’s a village nearby. I fear that the shadows might come back so I simply stayed here when I’m not busy.” Sakari sighed. She was happy that someone found her but she wanted to return home so she could see her family and her friends. He seems quite cute, she thought, maybe he can live with me! “Hey,” she said, “Do you want to come with me on my journey? You could live with me and my family!” “I…I don’t know,” he replied, “From the looks of you, it seems that you live in royalty. I’m only a common person, and it’s probably weird for someone like me to live in a fortress or something.” “Don’t worry about that,” said Sakari, “My parents would be more than happy to meet you.” *** “The Sealed Darkness Dimension” “So she’s with him now, isn’t she?” asked Sarhax. “Yes,” replied Garaxial, as he watched the two from the pool of protodermis. We might not be able to reach them, but we can control their journey.” “But what about the others?” asked Sarhax. “There’s no need for that, right now,” answered Garaxial, “We must wait until the time comes, then we’ll unleash our plans like lightning and set the failsafe on her.” “What about her parents? They are indeed powerful,” she asked. Garaxial growled and said, “That is true, but if we can weaken them, then they won’t be able to see Sakari ever again, even in their dreams.” *** “Do you recall your past?” asked Syarix. “I can barely remember my early life,” said Sakari, “I do remember though, a beautiful palace that my family and I lived in. My parents were so happy to have me, but then someone from another world took me away, trying to use me as a weapon. Then I saw my mother in a dream. She sacrificed half of her power and gave it to me, telling me that everything will be alright. Once in a while I do see my mother whenever I sleep, who knows, maybe I’ll see her again when I sleep.” “I can help you,” replied Syarix, “I can take you home. We can travel together for some time…” “Really?” asked Sakari, then she turned to hold his hand but the two suddenly tripped. Sakari landed on top of him as they were face to face. “Are you alright?” he asked as he tried to move his head. “Yeah, I’m fine,” she answered, then she gasped, “Oh my! I’m sorry!” She swiftly moved her body out of the way. “I didn’t mean to be on top of you,” she said, shocked, “That was…” “Yeah, disturbing,” finished Syarix, sitting up. Sakari turned to him and asked, “Well, are you sure? You want to come?” “Well, it would be great to travel again,” said Syarix, “I’ve always wanted to visit other realms.” “Yeah,” replied Sakari, “But when I got this compass, I was told that I have to do a favor for someone when I visit other worlds. Is there anything I can do to help so we can move out?” “I’m sure there are ways,” answered Syarix, “Let’s head out to the village and see if there’s anyone out there that can help you. But I must warn you, the shadow storm will consume anything so we must keep watch.”

This is a good story, I like it. Anyway I spotted a few verb tense and some grammar mistakes, but I'll have to go back and check them, if you want. What I liked: Using the characters, (i.e, Certavus, Stronius, Strakk, etc.) and expanding more about their past in the Core War. (Meaning that it's good to see them what it was like for them during the war.)

Review Story Chapter 6: The Compass of World Passing Sakari's 2nd Dream Sakari woke up in the dream once more. In the distance, she saw her mother standing nearby. She smiled when she saw her daughter once more. "Daughter",said Skralla, "How's your journey, so far" "I'm in a country called Era. But I want some answers here. How I did I escape?"asked Sakari, "More yet, who was the one that took me away?" "Listen, that's not important right now," replied Skralla, "We need to keep you safe..." "Mother, I must know!" snapped Sakari, "I need to know so I won't fall into the wrong hands!" Skralla sighed. She knew that her daughter was right; she needed the knowledge in order to survive traveling various worlds. But she feared that telling her would corrupt her mind and would suffer as much as herself and Mata Nui. "The one who took you is called, Garaxial. He's nothing but pure shadows who tries to take revenge against our kingdom, particularly myself and my husband, Mata Nui," explained the queen. "But why? What was his wish?" asked Sakari, "What did he know?" "I cannot explain right now, dear," replied Skralla, "If I told you, he'll be trying to relocate us here." "This is a separate dimension?" said Sakari. "Yes. Even though it's in our dreams, this is another world. Anyone can enter in the dreams, all they have to do is to sleep and think," replied Skralla. Then the dimension started to glow as if the sun was about to rise. Then Skralla continued, "I think it's almost morning in your world, I'll have to let you go now, and we'll meet again," "But wait! What about Mata Nui? Is he my father?" shouted Sakari, but it was too late. The world changed around her as she woke up from the dream. *** The Era Ruins Dajan and Edra arrived at the excavation site. Their boss, Rea stood impatiently and said, "There's a liquid that is somehow eating our tools, bombs, and other materials. We need to move them or else we won't be able to continue." "But how's that possible?" asked Dajan, "None of the substances from here?" "Then they must be from another world?" asked Edra. "It's a possibility," said Rea, "Now move it or else there won't be anything left!" *** Main Dimension, Spherus Magna Averax Palace Skralla woke up and turned her head. There she saw Mata Nui, Belirax, Kiina, and Takanuva. "Well," said Belirax, "Did you talk to her?" "Yes, but unfortunately, I told her...about our enemy," she replied, "Could you guys leave so I can speak with Mata Nui?" Nodding, the others left, heading outside. Mata Nui turned to her and asked, "Why did you tell her? She shouldn't know..." "I know, I know, but she wanted answers,"replied Skralla, "Listen, she's our only daughter and we must give her the tools, knowledge, and power that we can provide for her. If she falls back into the wrong hands, it might be too late... "Where are you going?" she asked suddenly as Mata Nui was leaving. "The Temple," he said as he put on his cloak and went outside, "Stay here until I return." *** Hall of the Maze, GBs' Fortress After going through several twists and turns, the team arrived in a darkened chamber. "Where's Onua when you need him," muttered Pohatu. Tahu extended his hand out, calling for a small flame so he could light up the room. It seemed to work at first but then the flame went out. "No fire please," said a voice. "Then how in the name of Mata Nui do you work in the dark light this?" snapped Tahu. "Ah Tahu," replied the voice, "Your heart is full of questions that desire answers. But for now, those answers are set to wait." Then the room suddenly grew incredibly bright. Three cloaked figures appeared in front of the team. One of them said, "May we see the tablet?" Kopaka took out the tablet and gave it to the Great Being. After taking a scan, he replied, "So it seems. The dream must be a dream or else it would bring chaos and adversity." Then he turned to his partners and said quietly, "Go take them to the teleportation room. They must be on their way in order to save the princess." Era Country Sakari woke up with a sudden shock. She wanted to find her way out, even if it means to bring down the hut and smash her way through. Extending her hand, she called her partial necklace to summon the sword. Though she wasn't a fighter, her blood was that of her mother's (since she was part Skrall, part GB) and managed to use her newfound strength to smash the door open. As she stepped outside, she saw several beings running across the village. They were all heading towards one destination; the excavation. As soon as the road was clear, Sakari stepped outside and quietly followed the stampede, trying to avoid being seen by her new friends. *** "Well?" asked Edra, "Is it burning?" Dajan took a cup and scooped the liquid out. Amazingly, the bowl didn't shattered but it seemed to change color. "I'm not sure," she replied, "This liquid seems to be very picky on various objects." "Indeed it is," said a voice. Edra and Dajan gasped as the sound came from the water. Suddenly, the liquid began to churn and formed a solid mass being. Then it replied, "I am a creator, as well as a destructor. Those who aren't destined shall be punished, but those who are shall claim their reward!" "Who are you?" asked Edra, "And what do you mean the ones who are destined?" "Ah, but you don't simply know about the meaning of energized protodermis, do you? There is one being that can touch my essence and shall receive great power...and that being is the one that didn't come from here." *** Sakari watched as the crowd was waiting for the others to return. She wanted to ask what was going on but she was worried that they might question her presence. Suddenly, her body changed as if she grew, but it didn't turn out that way. She looked at her hand, realizing that it wasn't there. Am I invisible, she thought. She turned and snuck her way through, realizing that no one took notice. Sure enough, her body was transparent from others. Maybe whatever is down there...is my way out of here, she thought, and I hope it is. After going through twists and turns, she saw Dajan and Edra running towards the exit. A massive wave was washing its way through. As soon as no one was around, her body resumed visible and the liquid stopped charging. "You are the one that I foresaw," said the liquid, "You are on a dangerous journey, are you not?" "I am lost," said Sakari, "I was taken away from my family. Are you here to help me?" "I can help you, but only once," replied the entity, "After all, I'm only a liquid..." He took a chunk of rock, placed its hand over, transforming the rubble. When it was done, a compass was in place. "This compass is your way out. It can take you to various worlds, but when you enter in a world, you must to a big favor to its people, help them, and they'll be able to recharge this device for you," said the entity. Sakari took it and asked, "When will I know that it's ready?" "You'll know when the time comes for you to leave. But this device cannot predict the exact travels. Only fate shall decide where to take you," came the reply, "Now extend the compass and allow your necklace to do the rest." Sakari extended the compass away from her. Sure enough, the necklace began to glow, changing the world around her. "I wish you for your safe journey," said the liquid as the being dissolved back into a puddle.

I'll start reading soon. I just got back from vacation and I'm really tired. But not to worry, chapter 6 will come out tomorrow, hopefully in the morning because I'm going to a cooking camp around 10:00 A.M. (I'm learning how to cook special recipes that you don't normally find in stores) Don't worry. ;)

I must warn you this,

Review Story Chapter 5: World of Ruins “So will this fellowship suffice?” asked Agarax. Mata Nui and Skralla looked at the team. It included; Ackar, Tahu, Pohatu, Vastus, Kopaka, Tarix and Branar. “We don’t have much time left,” said Mata Nui, “But yes. This team should be fine. Now then, let’s head out to the Great Beings.” *** Era Country Sakari woke up with a confusing start. First of all, the last thing she remembered was that she was in some protective barrier from a water attack. Second, she felt stronger as if she grew again like in the dream, but this turned out to be no dream. Third, she was in a bed at an unknown house. “Are you alright?” asked one of the residents. “Eh? Where am I?” asked Sakari, “What happened to me?” “You appeared in the forest outside of our town,” said another being, “You were somehow in a deep sleep. But at least you’re up now.” Sakari looked around. She was in a small hut with a small family of an unknown species. She checked to make sure that her necklace was still on. Then she tried to get up on her feet. “Don’t you want to eat something?” asked a female being. “No thanks, I’ll be alright. But what is this place?” “This is Era Country,” said the female being, “Long ago, we used to be part of a larger world, but then a storm of shadows cut us off from our friends in another country. Many of us tried to fight back in order to stop this division, but the shadows only killed them. Now, we’re fighting for any resources that are left in this world. Eventually there won’t be anything left to borrow, or to eat. Now where did you come from?” “I…don’t remember,” said Sakari, “Other than living in a beautiful castle. I was only a baby at the time, then when my parents took me to meet someone, my mother collapsed. Then when I was alone with this other being, someone attacked us and took me away. After that, I can’t remember…” “Don’t worry, if we are fortunate, there’s an excavation going on in another village from here. If they find more resources or something that can get us out of this world, we’ll help you find a way back to your world,” said the female being, “And my name is Dajan. The others beside me are, Sai, Edra, Toth, and Ler.” “Nice to meet you all,” said Sakari, “My name is Sakari." *** Main Dimension, Spherus Magna East Highway Trail Ackar, Tahu, Pohatu, Vastus, Kopaka, Tarix and Branar traveled across the trail, heading towards the Great Beings’ Kingdom. Mata Nui and Skralla gave them a tablet to be used as a pass in order to enter in their kingdom. “You think they’ll believe us?” asked Tarix, “And how do we know that these guys existed?” “Simple,” said Ackar, “They were mysterious beings that didn’t want to be discovered. Back in that war, they were busy making that gigantic robot…” “Which is where we used lived…” finished Tahu, “After all, none of us knew that we lived inside of Mata Nui, at least before he fulfilled his destiny. But what happened after your world was shattered?” “It was terrible,” said Vastus, “For the last 100,000 years or so, we developed a new society which we believed it would help us survive in Bara Magna.” “And what of the Elemental Lords?” asked Pohatu, “We never heard such beings.” “They…well, none of us has seen them,” replied Vastus, “one of my friends, Tarduk claimed to have seen one on a journey with some of his friends.” “Um, I hate to cut off our chat, but I think we’re already here,” said Branar. The Glatorian and Toa arrived at the edge of a cliff. There, they saw another kingdom, one that housed the Great Beings and the Elemental Lords. “That’s awfully big out there,” said Kopaka, “Think we should knock?” “I say we fly down there,” said Tahu as his armor began to change. In response, Kopaka and Pohatu shifted their armor into flight mode. “Will your mask work Pohatu, for all of us?” asked Tahu. “I’m not sure. I hadn’t tested the mask on the Glatorian…” answered Pohatu, “But it’s worth a try.” Activating his mask, the Toa’s and Glatorian’s molecules began to vibrate and then soared their way down towards the Great Beings’ Kingdom. *** Board Room, Averax Palace Mata Nui, Skralla, Belirax, Takanuva, and Tuma discussed ways on how to prepare for Sakari’s return. “What did you see again?” asked Belirax. “It was horrible,” said the queen, “I saw Sakari trying to say something to some being, but before she could finish, she was dragged away by something. Then according to what Gaaki told me, she saw the shadows coming. And it’s the shadows that would try to seal us away.” “But what about him?” asked Mata Nui, “We can’t let him try to make use of our daughter.” “When I go to sleep tonight, I will go and try to find her again in my dreams,” replied Skralla, “After all. It worked before and I’ll do it again. Maybe then she’ll tell me what happened.” “Daughter, it’s my fault,” said Tuma, “If only I was much swifter…” “Father, we can’t suffer right now. If we don’t act, there’s a chance that we won’t see her again,” she replied. “Will the others be alright?” asked Takanuva. Mata Nui sighed for a moment. Then he replied, “I don’t know. The world outside of this dimension is dangerous. I know about your travels too, and in fact, we’ve been in one of them.” *** Era Country “So,” said Sakari, “How long has it been since this disaster?” “Well. It’s been at least 23 years since the shadows divided us and about 12 years when we started the excavation. We believed that there’s a mysterious power source that can wipe the shadows away so we can regain the other land that we lost,” answered Dajan. “Dajan!” shouted Edra, “Our boss says that you must come to the ruins, quickly!” “What’s happening?” asked Dajan. “I think…they found something,” replied Edra, “They need you to inspect the ruins and see if they found it!” “Coming!” she shouted. Then she turned to Sakari and said, “I’ll be back. Stay here and get some sleep.”

Review Story Chapter 4: An Uncertain Decision Throne Room, Averax Palace "Agarax," said Mata Nui, "You hold the power to cross dimensions, right?" "That's right," he said, "I can help us relocate her but as of late, my weapon has been acting weird." "But you're still willing to take the risk?" "I sure am, but I will need help with some of your friends. I could borrow some of the Glatorian or Toa to come with me." "What about the Great Beings?" asked Skralla, "They have a teleportation device in their realm." Pool of Protodermis, Sealed Darkness Sahrax placed the basket that contained Sakari on the pool. Garaxial took out his staff of mutation and raised it high. "Waters of Darkness," he said, "take in the form of my enemy's daughter and manipulate her! Place the Imprint of Chaos and start the countdown!" Then the waters began to churn around, causing the water to tower above the baby. Sakari couldn't understand what was going on but she could feel the power of the necklace protecting her. She closed her eyes and could only hope that there's a chance for escape. Then the water began to surround her, attempting for a strike in order to manipulate her. But the necklace created a shield that protected the attack. "What's going on?" muttered Garaxial, then he realized,"THAT MOTHER OF HERS! She must have used her powers to protect her!" Garaxial raised his staff and said, "But even as that force field buys her time, it won't last forever. Eventually the water will penetrate through. And by that, they'll realize that rebuilding Spherus Magna was a terrible mistake on their part." *** Flashback: 105,000 years ago Halan Country "Is that all?" asked Agarax. "That should be," said Syarix, "After all, our master says that we have to place them in the temple. Now that he's dead, we have to place his body in the burial grounds." Agarax nodded. For the last few weeks, a terrible earthquake struck their world. Luckily there weren't that many causalities but the fortress was badly damaged. Most of the destruction came from the temple, which was next to the fortress. "Well then, I must head back to the village,"said Agarax, "I need to check and see how much progress they made." *** Agarax returned to his village and saw a few of his relatives and friends repairing their huts. Some of the trees fell on top of the houses while most of the houses were split open. Then he saw a crowd looking at something in the streets. He ran up and asked, "What happened?" "It's the king's sacred sword!" came one of the reply. "Nonsense!" shouted another one, "The king never leaves his fortress!" Then an argument broke out. Then Agarax shouted, "Silence! One of his friends, Syarix told me that he's dead!" "What do you know?" shouted another. "Syraix said that the king was killed during the earthquake. He saw him trying to escape but the pillars collapsed on top of him," explained Agarax, "Now let's just break this crowd or else it's not going to lead us a better life in this world." Agarax's Dream Agarax woke up in a strange room. The walls were as bright as the sun while the floor felt cold like ice. Then he saw someone standing on the other side of this chamber. In the center between them was a small pool of some liquid. "What is this place?" he asked, "And who are you?" "Ah, for an outsider like you, I'm called as the Great Being," came the reply, "And this place is one of the great rooms in our world. This room can tell us the destiny of one being, as well as predicting the outcome of events that happened in the past, or are currently happening." "And what's happening in this world? Why am I here?" asked Agarax. "Right now, several species in this dimension are in a war right now. They're fighting over a sapient liquid that's slowly shattering this planet. If they don't stop and think, they'll suffer of what is yet to come," replied the Great Being, "But you, you are the one who must be given the knowledge." "Why me?" asked Agarax, "My people have suffered an earthquake and our king has died!" "Because, my friends are creating two, special beings, whose power that can undo the damage in this world. Both of them will forget the knowledge overtime since they'll be facing their own problems. Only you can hold the knowledge of their destiny, and it is you that must face your destiny with them," said the Great Being. "What's so important about this mission?" asked Agarax. "It may not seem so now, but eventually, when 'The Eclipse' comes, the liquid will shatter their planet. But that same eclipse will also repair that planet but only every 100,000 years. But right now, you'll need to escape your country. Another storm is coming but it's far worse than the earthquake, your presence is not going to be enough to change the world, but if you meet these two beings, they might be a sign of hope to your world," came the reply. "Who are they? And where will I find them?" he asked. "I cannot say their names, but you'll find them in time. But for now, I must give you this," said the Great Being. He raised his hand over the pool. Then a long, speared staff came out. The head of the staff had a symbol; carved with three circles and two curves around it. "This Travel staff will take you to other worlds and places that you've never imagine. When you wake up, you must leave in order for the prophecy to fulfill. It all begins as soon as you wake up," said the Great Being. "But how do I summon this?" shouted Agarax as the world changed around him. He was back in his damaged hut and it was already sunrise. Then he heard a voice in his head, you can't stay here. Leave. Agarax raised the staff and suddenly, a portal opened. Before he jumped, he took a few daggers with him and a compass. I'm sorry my friends, he thought as he jumped in, but if I was told was true, then maybe I'll be able to save all of you. *** Present Time: Sealed Darkness Dimension Garaxial watched as the water tried to penetrate through the force field. At first it seemed that it was working. That is until a sudden bright light knocked him and Sahrax down. "What's going on?" he snapped, "Why isn't our plan working?" Then the answer came when the light disappeared. The baby was gone, heading to the unknown. "She's escaped!" he shouted, "All because of her!" "Should we send our shadows to go after her?" asked Sahrax. "No. Let her visit some other worlds. Maybe we can use them as an advantage when we unleash our plans. We'll have to monitor her whereabouts. And when the time comes, we'll get the Imprint on her and the countdown will start," said Garaxial.

excessively?? Like what do you mean? That the fact that MN and S are parents? If so.... This story is like "human" bionicle, kinda like an anime/manga (well...w/o the pictures) But the flow of this story kinda goes back and forth between human and set like characters... If not, then I'm not sure what you're saying...

Review Story Chapter 3: Half and Half The baby cried as it flew in the dimensional gates. Someone was holding her and for sure that it wasn’t Tuma or her parents. The stranger looked at the baby and laughed, saying, “Now that you are in existence, I can fulfill my dream and unleash my power that will finally take root!” *** Tuma woke up and gasped. The baby was gone, taken by some stranger from another world. This is bad…just how we are going to find her, he thought. Just as he got up, the door slammed opened, revealing Mata Nui and Gaaki. “Is she gone?” asked Mata Nui. Tuma nodded and said, “Yes. I swear! I tried to defend her!” “Once Skralla wakes up, we must send a number of us to go after her,” said Gaaki. “But how are we going to do that?” asked Tuma, “The throne is part of a museum in Roxtus!” “Not if we get our old friend of ours,” said Mata Nui, narrowing his eyes, “Agarax…” *** Healing Center Skralla woke up and saw a Ga-Matoran standing nearby. “What happened?” asked the queen as if she woke up from a deep sleep. “Your majesty, I can’t explain,” said the matoran, “But Mata Nui will come back soon to check on you, just take it easy now.” “It happened…didn’t it?” asked Skralla, “Sakari is gone…but that doesn’t mean I’ll just stay here,” “But your majesty, it’s too dangerous! We need your power to keep the kingdom strong!” But before the matoran could stop her, Skralla disappeared, using her tan crystal to reach the palace. *** Skralla appeared at the front entrance, she was a bit weak but using the red crystal managed to keep her up, she headed to the Grand Bedroom but was stopped when she saw Mata Nui sending a Zesk to deliver a message. “What’s going on?” she asked. Mata Nui turned and saw her leaning on the wall. She looked as if she was about to collapse again. He ran up to her and said, “I’ve sent a Zesk to fetch Agarax. Hopefully his power will help us relocate our daughter.” “Do you think she’ll be alright?” she asked. Mata Nui paused for a moment, and then said, “I don’t know. I fear that she’ll face our greatest enemy, who might make use of her.” “Then I’d better do this,” said Skralla, holding the necklace, “She will need a portion of this power in order to survive the other dimensions.” “And just how are we going to do that?” asked Mata Nui. “By dreams,” said the queen, “That’s the one power that I’ve discovered from her as we went to visit Tuma. I’ll be able to talk to her through that and hopefully give her half of my necklace.” *** “Sakari’s Dream” Sakari continued to scream but then her mind was elsewhere. Suddenly, she felt stronger, much older as if she grew. Then she saw a stranger in front of her, holding a tall staff in her hands. As soon as she saw her, the staff split into two smaller weapons, creating two swords. “Take this,” said the stranger, “You’ll need it.” Sakari took the sword and looked at it, and then she looked at the stranger. Skralla smiled as she knew that the necklace did choose her though her power was cut in half. But as long as Sakari had some of her powers with her, she knew that she’ll be alright. “As long as you keep this safe,” said Skralla, “I’m sure you’ll be alright. When the time comes, you’ll be able to escape and come back.” “Who are you?” asked Sakari, “Why are you giving me this?” “Because,” said Skralla, “I’m your mother.” Sakari gasped, she seemed confused about this revelation. Then Skralla continued, “Don’t worry; you’ll remember me and father in time. Right now, you’re with a mortal enemy of mine. He’ll try to take an advantage of you but as long as you believe in yourself, then he won’t stop you. Whenever you sleep, I’ll come and check on you so we’ll be able to communicate from here…” But before Sakari could ask anymore questions, the world around her began to change. She was back into a baby but had the necklace on her. This time Sakari didn’t cry as she somehow knew that this would protect her no matter what lies ahead… *** Averax Palace “Did she get it?” asked Mata Nui. Skralla woke up and looked at her necklace. Sure enough, the pendant was cut in half, leaving half of her amazing powers that she once had. “Yes,” said Skralla, “As long as she believes in herself, she’ll be alright, but even I still fear about this. We can’t let him get away,” *** River of Protodermis “Agarax!” shouted Miserix, “There’s a Zesk that has a message for you!” Agarax arrived and took the tablet from the Agori. After reading it, he took out his stick and called for its teleportation powers. “Where are you going?” asked the Makuta. “There’s no time. I can’t explain, this is crisis,” he said as he disappeared. Miserix wanted to ask but he already left. Then after a moment of hesitation, Miserix called on his shape-shifting powers to grow wings and headed east. He knew that something was terribly wrong and wanted to find out. *** “The Sealed Darkness Dimension” Sakari woke up in a small basket. For some reason, she expected to be in worse condition, but after being told by her mother, she seemed to have an idea about this situation. She could she the stranger that kidnapped her talking to another being. From the looks of it, they were arguing about something. “I told you,” said Garaxial, “The baby needs to be raised properly so we can make it look convincing for her!” “Yeah but what about her real parents?” asked Sarhax, “You know they’ll want revenge.” “I know, but that’s why I trust you more than Agarax, he disobeyed and betrayed me a few times. He’s with them right now of course, but just wait. When I place the fail-safe on her, no one will be able to remove it. And when she reaches to her coming of age, the imprint will activate, causing a catastrophe to their kingdom,” he explained. Sarhax nodded and turned to look at Sakari. She knew that it would take time but something about this baby chilled her. There’s something about this baby, she thought. “Well?” asked Garaxial. “It’s nothing. Let’s begin the experiment” replied Sarhax.

Review Story Chapter 2: Dreams of Danger “Skralla’s Vision” Syarix dodged the oncoming attack by the shadows. He knew that Sakari was in grave danger and had to save her. If he was too late, then the failsafe would seal her and would start a countdown to major destruction. “Sakari!” he shouted, hopping that she’d wake up but the darkness kept her asleep. He jumped and reached her hand. Suddenly the world around them changed. What’s going on, he thought, where are we? Then his answer was in front of him; a mirror pictured Sakari instead of his own reflection. He went up to the mirror and tried to find a way to break through. Sakari could somehow see him and started to spill tears. She wanted him to take her home and save the kingdom together but it seems that they’d be stuck here, perhaps forever? Then Syarix gasped as some plants began to wrap around Sakari, dragging her away. Sakari tried to break free but had no weapon in her hand. Syarix tried to smash through but the barrier kept the two away from each other. “SAKARI!” he shouted in the loudest voice. But all he could do was only watch as she disappeared, heading to the unknown… *** Coliseum “Daughter!” said Tuma, “What’s wrong?” Skralla woke up suddenly, shocked. She looked around and realized that she was still here with Mata Nui. Sakari was in Tuma’s hands, sleeping softly. “I…I…” she began but she started to cough, and then collapsed. “Skralla!” said Mata Nui, “What’s wrong?” Then he tried to pick her up but realized that she wasn’t breathing. “Oh…no…” said Mata Nui, “She’s losing conscious.” “I’ll hang on to the baby,” said Tuma, “Take her to safety.” *** “Is she alright?” asked Belirax. “I don’t know,” said Mata Nui, “But she was never like this.” “That’s weird,” replied the Skrall, “She was always active and positive.” “We have to find the nearest Healing Center,” replied Mata Nui, “Go find Hahli, Helryx and Gali and tell them to meet us there,” Belirax turned and left while Mata Nui carried Skralla to the nearest Healing Center. Luckily he saw Gaaki inside, along with several other Ga-Matoran. “Gaaki! I need your help!” said Mata Nui. The Toa Hagah of water turned and asked, “What…what happened to the queen?” “She was trying to tell me something and then fell unconscious. She must have had a nightmare or something,” he replied, “We have to save her!” *** Alley of Av-Matoran Tanma, Radiak, and Kirop stood outside, watching the sun setting. None of them noticed Lewa coming in. “Tanma!” said Lewa, “We have a mission fly-to!” Tanma turned and asked, “What’s going on now? Is this another Rahi-Goose Chase?” “No. It’s more of a risk-danger, mission,” said the toa of air, “We are going to have a talk with our Makuta-friend. But I’ll need you to come with me so we can see where we are going.” Tanma sighed. He already had enough today, discussing about the security back in the council. But he knew that it was his duty to contribute and help maintain peace. “Alright,” he replied, “I’ll go.” He turned to Radiak and Kirop and said, “Make sure the others are safe, I don’t want any rahi coming here so make sure that the light gates are up.” Storage of Creations, Northern Frost Three Great Beings placed the last of the chunks of metal in a crevasse. After Mata Nui evacuated the species of his robotic structure, they had it torn down carefully, small enough to fit inside this gigantic basin. “Is this the last of them?” asked one of them. “It should. I don’t know how long it would fit, but let’s hope that we don’t need it again. The Matoran are fine with the Agori, despite their communication, but they have been trained enough to understand the language,” said another. “But what about Skralla and Mata Nui?” asked the third, “After all, it was we who created them, but why was she needed to exist? Mata Nui was doing fine...” “You know why,” said the first one, “She was created as a backup plan. Like I said before, I knew that something bad would happen to Mata Nui, I couldn’t tell how it would’ve happen. She could’ve saved the planet herself but her meeting with Mata Nui was inevitable, not a coincidence. Plus with him around, they managed to repair this planet much more efficiently” “Yeah, but I fear about something else,” said the third being, “Now that they’re parents, someone would try to end their relationship and bring chaos to this world.” “What do you mean?” asked the other two beings. “Remember one of our first projects? That one eccentric scientist that we made, but he was sent to another dimension of course, but I remember some of his projects; most of them were dangerous, but remarkable. The last time I talked to him was only about 90,000 years ago. After that, I haven’t seen him, but I overheard one night when Mata Nui and Skralla taking about him and his evil plans. I heard that they are going to keep this all a secret so that way no one would get crazy and bring his attention to them, and this world.” “You don’t mean?” asked one of the beings, shocked, “That he’s after something?” “He was,” said the other being, “Two things in fact. One of them was Skralla’s necklace. But the other…well, I don’t remember exactly but it had to do them and their realm.” *** Healing Center “Is she alright?” asked Mata Nui. Gaaki placed her hand on Skralla’s head, then said, “I don’t know but I can tell that something is affecting her mind. Let me see if I can use my kanohi…” But before she could finish, her mind was elsewhere. Somehow her mask always uses her rather than the other way around. Sure enough she saw the baby sleeping peacefully with Tuma. Then a portal opened, revealing some stranger taking the baby away. Tuma tried to fight back but the stranger overpowered the Skrall. Then she saw Sakari, but much older, trying to talk to someone through some mirror or glass but then was dragged away by some vines. The image changed, showing the toa the entire village of Averax Magna being sealed away by the darkness. “This can’t be!” snapped Gaaki. She could barely stand up herself but managed to keep herself from falling. “What is it?” asked Mata Nui. “The baby…she’s in grave danger…” said the toa, “and it’s too late. It’s the beginning of the end…” “What do you mean?” he asked. “Someone has come from another world, and took the baby away,” said Gaaki.

Those voices were indeed awesome... Berix: Not bad...but it's not what I expected, but then again he's a villager, in panic...:/ Ackar: His voice is pretty good, (sounds old and young at the same time?) MN: His voice is good too...very serious (but yet peaceful?) Kiina: Whoa! I didn't expect this voice to be loud and young! But I guess it's better for a female character to be wild and strong! Wow, she's pretty excited for MN in terms of what she said. Gresh: I figured that his voice would be wild and exciting as well, like Kiina's.

Review Story Chapter 1: A Royal Family Averax Palace Mata Nui ran up the stairs, heading towards the Grand Bedroom. He received a message from Belirax that the newborn was coming. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Skralla sitting on the bed, holding something in her hands that was in a small blanket. “I’m sorry that I worried you, but we’re both alright,” she said. “We?” said Mata Nui, confused at first. Then he realized, “The child? Is it…?” “It’s a girl,” she answered, “A new princess is born. I plan on calling her Sakari.” Mata Nui approached to them and said, “That’s good. At least your necklace can be passed on.” “I know…but I’m worried what if the necklace might not want her? You know, the necklace only picks a certain person once I’m close to death,” replied the queen. “And even if the necklace doesn’t choose her, I’m sure that the next user will be willing to protect it,” said Mata Nui. *** Outside, Belirax and Kiina watched as they heard them talking about the new baby. Not wanting to wait any longer, Belirax knocked on the door. “Who is it?” called Skralla. “It’s us!” replied Belirax, “Kiina and I.” “Come in.” Then the two Glatorian stepped into the bedroom. “So?” asked Belirax, “Is it a boy or a girl?” “It’s a girl, we named her, Sakari,” replied Skralla. “Ah…she’s so cute,” said Kiina, looking at the newborn. Then she asked, “I need to talk to you for a moment. Is it alright Mata Nui if we just speak to her for a few moments?” Nodding, Mata Nui went out and headed towards the balcony. Just a few years ago, he remembered the grand celebration that honored him and Skralla, King and Queen of Averax Magna. After saving the Matoran Universe and Bara Magna, they agreed to the citizens that they’ll watch over them and in return, peace and harmony over the land. Now that Spherus Magna was reborn, there haven’t been much of any problems for the last few years over resources. Now that the Great Beings had returned as well, they were willing to help out improve their lives in case of any possible disaster. But no wonder we love each other so much, he thought, Skralla and I were created by them, but at different times. We had so much in common and wanted a better life. Now it has finally come true… *** “But how’s that possible? Miserix hasn’t been that much of a problem wasn’t he?” asked Skralla. “No…but some of the Rahi are acting pretty strange. That’s why we had to double the patrol around this kingdom. The Toa Mahri and the Toa Nuva are building a stronger gate so that way the rahi doesn’t invade this kingdom,” answered Kiina. “But why are you telling me this?” asked the queen, “Mata Nui needs to know too.” “Yeah, but I don’t want him to get upset with us. I know he’s been a great ruler, but sometimes I worry about this world. I don’t want to go through the same struggle,” replied Kiina. “Alright, I’ll tell him,” said Skralla, “You may go now.” The two Glatorian turned and left, beckoning Mata Nui to come back inside. “What’s wrong?” he asked. “Kiina told me that the rahi are acting strange recently, but I don’t know why. They’re increasing the patrol in this kingdom.” “You don’t suppose that Miserix has lost his light yet?” asked Mata Nui. “I don’t know…but we have to be careful, especially with this child,” she answered. *** Outside… “Tahu, watch out!” shouted Gali. The Toa of fire turned and fired his Nynrah Ghost Blaster at the oncoming Nui-Rama. Chains of energy managed to strangle the rahi, pinning it down. “Is that the last of them?” asked Pohatu. “For now,” said Kopaka, “But what’s going on with these creatures?” “It’s not Miserix, right?” asked Onua, “After all, he’s the last Makuta and even I don’t trust him.” “I’ll fly-go and check,” offered Lewa. “No,” said Tahu, “We can’t split up now.” “It’s only me that’ll just fly-around,” snapped the toa of air. “Then take Tanma with you,” replied Tahu, “I heard that it’s dark in that forest, a bit of his light should work, right?” “I guess,” said Lewa, “Very well, I’ll go and check if our Makuta friend is starting to act up.” *** River of Protodermis Miserix, the sole Makuta left stood in the waters of the river. For the last few weeks, he was trying to use liquid protodermis mixed with the ocean water to make specialized marine rahi. Although it wasn’t much of a progress, Miserix had some difficulty using the ocean water due to its different properties. There’s something in this water, he thought, something that we didn’t even had… Miserix opened a small box and looked at the viruses. He managed to take them away from the Shadowed One, who wanted to use them against Teridax. True, he was against “the plan” and wanted to kill Teridax so badly, but he knew that using the virus on him would start another cataclysm. When the universe was saved and was taken to Spherus Magna, he found the Shadowed One carrying the box. From what he heard, the viruses were in there. After a long, formal talk, the Shadowed One agreed to give it to him, in exchange for some other viruses that the Dark Hunters could use to perform their own experiments. And I can’t trust them, although they allied with the Order of Mata Nui during the war, that doesn’t mean anything, he thought. “Did you find anything?” asked Agarax. “Uh…no,” answered Miserix, “But could you please send this vial out of this dimension?” Nodding, Agarax took out his staff and called upon the dimensional gates. The vial was sucked into the portal and disappeared. “But what about the experiment?” he asked. “It’s not working as I thought it would be,” answered the Makuta, “The waters in the ocean must have some different elements that are not like our Liquid Protodermis.” *** Coliseum “So…she has the baby?” asked Tuma. “Yes, it’s a new princess,” answered Hahli, “Her name is Sakari.” Tuma couldn’t help but smiled. For the last few years, he was recovering from a deadly plague that almost killed him and a few other Skrall, Agori and even some Glatorian. “Skralla wants to show you her new child,” said the Toa of Water, “Are you allowed to leave the Coliseum and visit her?” “I’m not sure…” answered Tuma, “I haven’t been outside for the last few months. I was attacked by a Muaka on a hunt and the scratches that I got kinda made me feel sick again. That’s why I stayed here.” “Then allow me,” said Hahli, “We Toa of Water have special healing abilities. My friend, Gali did a similar process once with Tahu, but I’ll tell you about that another day.” “You don’t have to…” said Tuma but sure enough, the water began to close the wound. Slowly the scratches disappeared and he suddenly felt much better. “Thanks…I owe you one,” he said. “Oh don’t worry, it’s our nature as Toa,” said Hahli, “I’ll tell her that you’re ready to see the baby.” *** “So what did he say?” asked Skralla. “He said that he’s ready when you are,” answered Hahli, “I used my powers to heal him that way he won’t affect the baby.” “Hahli,” said Skralla, “What did I tell you about using your elemental powers for healing?” “But, your majesty…” said Hahli, “I don’t want him to infect the baby, should the plague not be fully healed. Raanu was lucky because he was fully healed within a week or so before anyone else.” Skralla could only chuckle and said, “That’s fine, I just don’t want you to waste your powers. I heard that using too much makes you become a Turaga?” “Not the elemental powers, the Toa Power,” replied Hahli, “It’s the “Toa Power” that is limited.” Skralla looked confused, well, what’s the difference, she thought, what’s so special about this one? “It’s a special type of element that keeps us as heroes. It only used in times of crisis. For example, I could make Toa stones in case if I have to make more Toa which will then turn me into a Turaga in return,” explained Hahli. “Skralla!” said Belirax, who stood at the door, “Mata Nui is waiting for you.” “Coming!” replied Skralla. Then she turned to Hahli and said, “Let’s talk again later. Thank you for telling my father. He’ll be excited to see his new granddaughter.”

Averax Magna Chronicles Book I: Kingdoms of Paradise NOTICE: I will be adding information as we go further in this new arc. I know that I didn't post the story of "The Great Plague" but this will have to do. This section is ONLY for Chapters, no review. There's a link to a review on a separate topic. Review: This Link Summary: The Past... Throughout the last arc, there were a series of flashbacks that showed as early as Mata Nui's construction, up to Tuma's Plan. Here's a list of past events in this story... *Certavus receives the Ancient Necklace from the Great Beings. They also place a throne (in the future village of Roxtus) as well as the Tesara Temple (which becomes the future sanctuary of Tesara). *Skralla and Mata Nui are created during the Core War. Skralla wakes up and remembers nothing but her name. *Skralla heads to Atero and decides to work there, helping the Agori for the war effort. She later meets Certavus and starts a relationship with him. *After the shattering, Skralla continues to work in Atero, keeping the building stable. She rarely leaves the city, believing that it was her home. *The other Skrall get attacked by the Baterra, a number of them were killed. Starax sends a small team to find refuge by finding a way out of the Black Spikes. They discover Roxtus and the Skrall flee into the newly village. At this time, the female Skrall were banished by the male Skrall, leaving them for the Baterra. The Female Skrall arrives in the Maze Valley and set up their new lives. *Tuma, whilst traveling across the wastelands, arrives in Atero and sees Skralla working. He invites her to join the Rock Tribe. She accepts and becomes a "daughter" to him. Starax refuses her to live, though she had no clue about their crisis. After an argument, they set up a deal, allowing her to live if she could fight in an Arena Match. *Skralla asks Certavus to secretly train her so she could live in the village. Certavus completes his book and gives it to Skralla for some time. Then she returned the book so Certavus could hide it. *Skralla fights against Stronius but the elite warrior saw the future, seeing "The Eclipse," Mata Nui, and, Skralla becoming the princess. He calls the fight to end, allowing her to live, though Starax declares a rematch. *Skralla asked Stronius on what he saw, he tells her that a long-term prophecy has begun. Stronius managed to convince Starax to allow her to live in the village. *Skralla, Tuma, and several other Skrall head out to the wastelands to find weapons. They found a mysterious cache of weapons that they're familiar with as well as weapons that came from another world. Tuma discovers a "launcher of light" (Midak Skyblaster) and later asked Starax to experiment it. *On the night before Certavus died, Skralla confessed her love to him. The warrior died the next day as while he was fighting in a match. Certavus gives her the necklace and tells her to be prepared for the future... *Starax and Tuma head out to Iconox to make a deal with the residents on making a new trade route in the White Quartz and Black Spikes. They were attacked by the Baterra on their way and Starax falls to his death. Tuma, now the last member of his species arrives in the village, but the deal gets canceled. *Skralla thinks back about Certavus and cries to herself. Then she took out the necklace and put it on. As she tried to investigate it, she saw a series of past and future events. She hears someone saying that everything will be alright... *Tuma crowns Skralla as the princess but then a small horde of Baterra attack the village. The Skrall managed to hide, knowing that fighting them would be too dangerous for the Agori. The robots eventually leave when a storm hits the village. *Garaxial sends his shadow entities to capture Stronius and cloned him. He sends the clone one back, hoping that the plague will spread but Agarax manages to remove it secretly. The real one escaped, traveling in various worlds. He stumbles upon a dimension where he was imprisoned for some time. *Skralla, Clone Stronius and Tuma, whilst walking in the wastelands were attacked by a few Sand Bats. Then a female Skrall takes the princess to safety. *Skralla discovers the female Skrall, realizing the terrible truth. They convince her to stay for some time, hoping that they can arrange a deal with Tuma. *Tuma sends the Clone Stronius, Branar and other Skrall to find the princess. The Female Skrall evacuate the village and headed to a hide out in the mountains. The Male Skrall find the Maze Village and destroyed it, leaving the empty village in ruins. *The Female Skrall go on strike, creating a "Civil Rights" movement, telling Tuma to allow the female Skrall live in Roxtus in return for giving Skralla back. Realizing that there was no other choice, Tuma allows them to live. *Tuma starts to develop an addiction to conquer Bara Magna, believing that it's the answer to all of their troubles. He starts a plan with Stronius and the other Skrall to participate in the Arena Matches with the other Glatorian. He also prohibits Skralla from leaving the village, thus making her "trapped". *Skralla tries to argue against this conquest, but Tuma refuses to listen to her. Then one day, she hears him talking to another Skrall about a traitor who was selling information about the Bone Hunters raiding a caravan. *Skralla eventually runs away, thus starts the "Princess Skralla" arc... About the 1st Story: In the last arc, we meet Skralla, a sole princess of the Skrall. She resided in Roxtus with Tuma and the others (despite her being the only Female Skrall.) and was the adoptive daughter of Tuma. When Tuma prepares to take over Bara Magna with his army of Skrall (from the Siege of Atero, to alliances with the Bone Hunters), Skralla ran away, trying to find help with the Glatorian and Agori. She later runs into Tarduk, Crotesius, and Kirbold, three Agori who were going on a journey to the north (see RotGB), she accompanies them to Iconox, home of the Ice Tribe. She then wishes them good luck and finds Strakk, asking him to help her. She gives him special payment in return, so the two went to Tesara, meeting Tarix and Gresh practicing their battle moves. But as they introduce to each other, a small troop of Skrall, sent by Tuma to find the princess invades Tesara. Skralla and her friends quickly hid in Gresh's hut, then taking a secret exit. But as they escaped, they ran into some Vorox scavenging. The Skrall army found them and prepared to attack the Glatorian when Skralla's necklace (plays an important role for this entire arc) glows and teleports them to Tajun. Upon their arrival, they meet with Berix. He takes a study at the necklace and tells Skralla about its power. But as they learn what the necklace can do, an army of Bone Hunters invade the village, sent by the Skrall to find the princess. Using her newfound powers, Skralla and her friends reappear in Tesara. But when they arrived, they see Tesara in ruins due to the attack by the Skrall. They eventually separated their ways, leaving Skralla alone to seek the crystals. (These provide special powers to the Ancient Staff.) As she seeks them out, Malum arrives with three Vorox to capture her. She manages to escape and flies away with the power of the Green Crystal. She eventually arrives at Atero the next morning, but stayed in the sky in case if any of the Glatorian were asked to find her. Then she saw the Skrall invading Atero, realizing what was going on with her father, she vowed revenge to stop his plans. Skralla later finds Gresh, Tarix, Strakk, Metus, Raanu, and Berix hidden in the canyons. Reuniting with them, they agreed to help her find the crystals. Well, everyone except Raanu, who fears about his people in Vulcanus. When he returned to his village, he found several Skrall and Bone Hunters taking control of the village. Skralla, Gresh, Tarix and the others managed to rescue him and the other Agori and fled to the wastelands. There, they see a flying object (the Ignika) falling into the sands. Mata Nui created his own body and meets with them, asking them his help to return to the MU. They offered him in return to help Skralla on her quest. As they walked, they were attacked by an unknown force and were in an unknown fortress. (later turns out to be a secret team called the Glatorian Legends) After meeting with Kiina, Ackar, Gelu, and Vastus, they managed to gather all of the Glatorian and Agori to prepare for a final assault at the Skrall. Divided into teams, each armies were sent into different parts of Roxtus, eventually making their way to the fortress. Skralla later finds out that it was the throne of Tuma that controlled him and his Skrall and successfully cured it from its deadly failsafe. In the epilogue, everyone celebrates on the Glatorian's victory but then an unknown attack from another dimension steals the necklace and begins to spread shadows. It also caused a "leak" to return. About The Rising Darkness: As everyone escaped from Atero, they all headed out to the wastelands, trying to figure out how to reclaim the necklace, stop the shadows and to contain the leak. It was revealed that the throne is capable of taking a small team of Glatorian to various worlds. As a result, Skralla, Mata Nui, Vastus, Stronius (Clone), Malum, Strakk, and Kiina went, traveling through other worlds. Meanwhile, the other Glatorian, Tuma, and Skrall tried to prevent the leak that was spreading in Roxtus. They managed to purchase a large supply of exisdian, but was proved useless. The shadows continued to spread, taking over some of the villages. The Glatorian that went on the journey faced terrible dangers. From a dimension where a Makuta, Icarax ruled the Matoran Universe to places where love and unity were prohibited. In one of their dimensions, Stronius (clone) was killed by a Toa. The others eventually arrived in a dimension that was full of darkness and had mysterious beings. Garaxial, the one who stole the necklace tried to use its powers against the Glatorian, manages to defeat most of them. Only Skralla and Mata Nui stood, but even as Skralla was trapped in an energy sphere, Mata Nui stood alone. But little did they know that Malum was going through an experiment by Agarax and Garaxial, causing another Malum to exist. Seeing that there was no other choice, Skralla revealed her love to Mata Nui, telling him her feelings. It was that revelation which caused the necklace to break free from Garaxial and return to Skralla. There, she manages to take everyone home and save Bara Magna once more. The shadows and the leak were dispelled from the planet. But after their renewed celebration, Tuma started to feel awfully sick... About The Great Plague: A new epidemic begins to spread as several Agori villagers grew sick. The Iron Canyon exploded, causing the citizens to evacuate to Tajun as the molten rock spreads all over Vulcanus. In Roxtus, several Agori and Skrall evacuated to Creep Canyon in order to prevent the disease from infecting them. This brought an opportunity for the Bone Hunters to attack, since they lost their alliances with the Rock Tribe. Meanwhile, the clone Malum tried to spread the plague secretly when he felt sudden pain. It revealed that the other Malum was awakening from his slumber. The Real Malum woke up and broke free from his time in stasis, meeting Agarax who sent him home, but ended up in another dimension. There, he discovers the Real Stronius and together, they traveled their way back to Bara Magna. Back in the Wastelands, Skralla, Mata Nui, and Tarix discovered a secret cave which revealed vital information. The carvings stated that Spherus Magna can be reformed at time called "The Eclipse". After the Siege ended, they met up with the Real Malum and Stronius, who brought specialized bombs that are required to use during "The Eclipse". But as they discussed plans, they were attacked by Garaxial and his shadow entities who tried to steal the necklace again and the bombs but fast action by the arrival of Agarax brought the Glatorian time to prepare for "The Eclipse". On that morning, the Glatorian divided into three teams; two of them would bring the bombs to their needed destination while the third team headed to Tesara to use the temple. All three sides face difficulty; Agarax combated Garaxial while several Shadow Entities and Rouge Vorox attacked the others. Luckily, the Glatorian managed to explode the bombs, spreading radiation all over the planet. Mata Nui and Skralla activated the temple, creating beams of light (called "The Triangle of Light". This shined from the temple, to the maze valley and Roxtus.) which allowed the moons, Aqua Magna, and other celestial objects to fuse with Bara Magna, thus re-creating Spherus Magna. Meanwhile, Teridax in the body of Mata Nui's Robotic Universe flew towards Spherus Magna, (after watching Aqua Magna's explosion) preparing to conqure the planet when he discovered that Mata Nui was still alive. MN managed to return to his universe, seizing control of his robotic structure and finally taking it back. As his destiny was almost complete, Mata Nui flew into the galaxy to find the Great Beings, telling them that it was time to return. A month later, MN returns and reunites with Skralla. Together, they finally became rulers of a new kingdom named Averax Magna. The species of the MU left, joining with the Agori, Skrall, Glatorian, Elemental Lords, and the Great Beings. After Spherus Manga's Rebirth, a variety of locations are re-created while most of them remain the same. Three Massive Kingdoms are built as well as other villages and smaller provinces are created. But most of the ruling comes from the Kingdom of Averax Magna. Characters: *=New/Updated Information *Mata Nui- The Great Spirit who was a gigantic robot that housed the Matoran Universe. After his exile, he arrived on Bara Magna and helped Skralla and the other Glatorian, defeating the Skrall from taking control on the planet. Just as everything was alright, he, Skralla, Vastus, Kiina, Malum, Strakk, and Stronius were sent to various dimensions to take back the princess' necklace from Garaxial's shadow entities. Later, it was revealed that his destiny was exactly the same as Skralla's; to rebuild Spherus Magna. Together, he and Skralla combined their powers, allowing the planets that were shattered away to come back and recreate the planet of Spherus Magna. When Skralla fell unconscious, he took her to the nearest healing center, hoping that Gaaki would be able to help them. He later returned to the palace to send a message to Agarax, hoping that they'll be able to relocate their daughter. He was talking with Agarax and Skralla, discussing ways on how to recover Sakari. Afterwards, Mata Nui left, heading towards the Temple of Ancestors, hoping that he would find a way to save Sakari. He eventually found the Chamber of Prophecies and tried to see if there was anything that would reveal the kingdoms' future. As he was searching, he saw Sakari and Syarix trapped, as well as the kingdoms being sealed by the darkness. But he also saw himself and Skralla in a similar place where Sakari and Syarix were trapped. He later tells Skralla and requests Belirax to retrieve the Kanohi Vahi, for unknown reasons. Eventually, Agarax discovers a way on how to send multiple people into the Dream Dimension. He went with a small group to meet Sakari for the first time since her birth. Afterwards, he and Skralla take a look at the Vahi, trying to figure out a way to protect their kingdom with it. How exactly he wants to use the Vahi is unknown...He eventually returned to the temple and discovered that the future of Averax Magna was near. Later, he asked Agarax to go on a quest with Belirax to find Sakari in order to keep their world safe. When the Shadow Entities invaded the kingdom, he and Skralla used the Vahi to wound back time...thus sacrificing the last of their power...to keep their kingdom safe...now they're trapped inside the Vahi as a result of this action *Skralla- In the first story, we are introduced to her as the sole princess of the Skrall. Her adoptive father, Tuma eventually grew a selfish desire to take over Bara Magna because of the Baterra that destroyed most of their species. She ran away and tried to find ways to stop him. Upon discovering an ancient power, guarded by her old friend, Certavus (who gave it to her before he died), she learns the Ancient Staff and masters it. Later it was taken from Garaxial who desire to take control over every universe that existed in this time. We later discovered that she was not truly a Skrall, because her spirit was that of the Great Beings, making her part Skrall, part Great Being, which is one of the reasons why she and Mata Nui were unique and why they love each other. Recently, she saw her daughter in grave danger but fell unconscious. When she woke up, she returned to the palace and gave half of her necklace to Sakari (through dreams), hoping that she'll survive the world outside of Spherus Magna. She was in discussion with Mata Nui and Agarax, trying to form a team that can go after Sakari. She later went back into the Dream Dimension, thus talking to her daughter once more. Skralla told her about Garaxial, the mortal enemy seeing that Sakari wanted answers. Later, after Mata Nui departs for the temple, she tried to sleep but couldn't so she left as well, looking for him. She eventually found him and learned that Mata Nui saw another dream that she didn't foresaw. Later, Belirax comes for a visit and she tells her what Mata Nui saw in his dream. Eventually, Agarax discovers a way on how to send multiple people into the Dream World. She joined with a few of her friends and Mata Nui in order to meet Sakari once more. Recently, she and Mata Nui are about to make a decision in order to keep their kingdom safe, but this might cause problems to themselves and their world. Later, she saw a dream, a time when Averax Magna was falling into the shadows, but suddenly, the time flow stopped. She also saw a stranger, perhaps a Glatorian falling into a pool of the energized protodermis. She also saw herself and Mata Nui trapped inside the Vahi as a result of this sacrifice to keep their kingdom safe. Later, she asked Belirax to leave this dimension and to join Agarax on a quest to find Sakari. When the Shadow Entities invaded the kingdom, she and Mata Nui used the Vahi to wound back time...thus sacrificing the last of their power...to keep their kingdom safe...Now they're trapped inside the Vahi as a result of this choice.... Sakari- The daughter (Main Character of this new arc) and the new princess of Averax Magna; she takes after her mother mostly (by the essence of Great Beings and Skrall) but also takes after her father.( his fighting skills, emotions, etc.) Recently, she was kidnapped and taken away by an Garaxial, a mortal enemy in all of the universes. She eventually was in a dream where her mother gave her half of her necklace, hoping that she'll survive and will find her way back to her kingdom. As Garaxial tries to place "The Imprint of Chaos", her mother's half necklace protects her and takes her to another dimension. She arrives in the Era Country, a realm whose ruins provide a mysterious power. This country was connected to another world until a rain of shadows closed half of the world. She later meets her mother again in the Dream Dimension and learns about her enemy that took her away. When she wakes up, she arrives in the ruins of Era Country and meets a sapient liquid. The entity created a compass for her, telling her that it will take her to other worlds, but only when she fulfills a task in the new world. She flew across dimensions, arriving in Mezai Country, the current location of Syarix. Upon meeting him, he takes her to his hut and they talked for a few minutes. Then she invites him to come with her on the journey. Syarix takes her to the village, meeting Elia. There, she was given a special cloak from the seamstress. Later she slept while Syarix kept an eye on her, wondering if she loves him. The next morning, she and Syarix left, arriving in Kenax City. After a struggle, she was taken to safety by Arikai. She later returns to the Dream World and meets her mother, father, and some of her people from Averax Magna. She goes with Syarix the next day in order to meet a stranger named Aeran. They meet him and they learn about the other team and their leader. Later, she and Syarix participate in a battle against Sehrox and his men. Before Sehrox could defeat Aeran, her necklace glowed, combined with her cloak, defeated Sehrox and his men. By sunrise, she and Syarix left, leaving the city back to its peaceful age. Upon arriving in the next world, they meet the lost soul of Garaxial. Then, Agarax and Belirax arrive, telling Sakari how they got here. Suddenly, a bright flash of light changes the course of destiny... Syarix- It has been revealed in Chapter 4 that he lived in Halan Country and knows Agarax. After a terrible earthquake that struck his home, him and Agarax were clearing away some of the rubble of the fortress. Their ruler died during the earthquake, thus leaving the world in despair. We also see him in one of Skralla's dreams; we see him trying to rescue Sakari from two things; a fail-safe, and a dangerous plant. He eventually fled to Mezai Country (how he gets there is unknown) and resided there for some time. Eventually, Sakari arrives and finds him. He takes her to his hut and they learn about each other. Later, he takes her to Elia, a seamstress who created a special cloak for Sakari. Later as Sakari slept, we discover that he has feelings for her. They leave the next morning and traveled to the next world. They arrive in Kenax City, a world of constant battles and conflicts. He saves two innocient beings who were almost killed by a building collasping. Aeran, one of the leaders invites Syarix to meet him tomorrow in the Avaron. They meet Aeran who tells them about the other team who he had fought yesterday. Aeran explains about his enemy, Sehrox and later fights with Aeran and Sakari to free the city from his grip. Sakari's cloak and necklace combined their powers and defeated Sehrox before he defeated Aeran. She later left with Syarix at sunrise, heading to another world. They arrive in Tasarta Country and met Garaxial's Soul of Light. He tells them his past but then Agarax and Belirax arrive. Not long after that, a brilliant flash of light blinding everyone, thus changing the course of destiny... Agarax- It has been revealed in Chapter 4 that he originated in Halan Country and knows Syarix. One day, a terrible earthquake struck his village. Afterwards, he and Syarix were preparing to bury their king who was killed during the cataclysm. Later, he dreams about a Great Being who tells him about the future of Spherus Magna, Skralla and Mata Nui (though he doesn't mention their names) and about his destiny. Before he woke up, the GB gave him his Travel Staff and tells him to leave the next morning. After traveling in various worlds, he arrives in Kotan World and meets Kan and Garaxial. When Garaxial lost his light, Agarax escaped as he tried to find his Soul of Light. He was later captured and lost his body as a result of his attempted escape, thus losing his power to cross dimensions. As Garaxial had Stronius cloned, he placed the plague that would activate once the clone returned to BM but Agarax removed it in order to buy time for the citizens to survive. After being cursed by the Ignika in the last arc, he regained his power to cross dimensions and had his original body back. He later discussed with Mata Nui and Skralla, forming ideas on relocating Sakari. Eventually, he discovers a way to send multiple people into the Dream World. Later, he was asked by Mata Nui to leave this dimension and go with Belirax to find Sakari. He and Belirax left, and arrived in Tasarta Country, meeting with Sakari, Syarix and the Light Garaxial. Belirax- A Female Skrall who founded the Sisters of the Skrall. Though she was the founder, the female Skrall decided to rule themselves. After being banished by the Male Skrall, her and the other sisters resided somewhere not far from the Maze Valley and created a village, dubbing it "The Village of the Maze". She and the other female Skrall secretly supported Skralla, (since she's the only female Skrall to be in Roxtus, plus the fact of the title of princess) and waited for revenge. Thousands of years later, she was accompanied with several female Skrall followers and witness an attack by the Sand Bats, attacking Skralla, Tuma, Clone Stronius, Branar and a few other Male Skrall. When they all fell unconscious, Belirax and the others too Skralla to the Maze Village. Later, they assaulted the Roxtus Village, threatening Tuma to grant them rights or else they won't return the princess. Tuma agreed to the terms and allowed them to live in Roxtus. In the 1st Story, she attempts to escape to find Skralla (since she too was against Tuma's Plans), but was caught by Clone Stronius and was imprisoned. She later escaped when Mata Nui and a Skrall fell into her prison whilst Mata Nui defeated the other Skrall. He took Belirax to safety and later helped MN and Skralla free the Skrall from their shadowy minds. When the Rock Tribe fell into the plague, she assisted the non-sick beings to safety. When the Bone Hunters attacked them in the Creep Canyon, she was one of the Skrall that fought them back. She and Skralla later went into the cave that Skralla discovered earlier that mentioned "The Eclipse". When Spherus Magna was reborn, she became one of Skralla's Royal Guards. Belirax briefly saw Sakari before she was captured. Later, when Agarax discovered a method to send other beings into the Dream World, she joined with a small group to meet Sakari. Recently, Skralla is asking her to leave with Agarax to find Sakari. She left with Agarax and found Sakari, Syarix and the Light Garaxial. *Garaxial- It has been revealed in Chapter 8 (and Chapter 2) that he was created by the Great Beings. After a recent risky project that he made (which caused electrical bolts harming the Agori and several creatures), the Great Beings banished him. He appeared in another place called Kotan World, but fell unconscious. He later woke up in the Kotan Fortress and met with the ruler there as well as the citizens who took him to safety. Kotan shows him a new workplace for him where he could work on his projects and experiments. One day, as he worked on a new project, Agarax arrived in Kotan World and meets him and Kan. On one of his projects, his soul was split and his light had vanished. His Soul of Shadows granted him the powers of darkness and changed his body, making him the darkness itself. He banishes Kan from this dimension and takes over Kotan Country. Overtime, he sent his shadow entities to visit other worlds and gather information. He is a mortal enemy of both, Skralla, Mata Nui, and their kingdoms. It was he who attempted to steal Skralla's powerful necklace and tried to gain control of every universe that existed. Around 2,300 years ago, he sent his shadow entities to steal a Glatorian to become his first project in cloning. It turned out to be Stronius, who then had his body cloned and gained the contamination that will activate a plague, but Agarax removed it. The original one was imprisoned in this country for a number of years. He also created a Malum Clone in order to spread a deadly plague in Bara Magna. Now...he's back for another revenge as he already captured Princess Sakari and will try to make use of her. He tries to place "The Imprint of Chaos" on her as a fail-safe but Skralla's half necklace protect her and took her to another dimension. He plans to keep an eye on her so he could try to finish his plans. He is currently preparing for an attack in Averax Magna with his Shadow Entities... Garaxial's Soul of Light- His Spirit that contained his light was banished into Tasarta Country. Recently, Sakari and Syarix are meeting this spirit. He tells them about his past, how he was once part of a body, and fled through various worlds, arriving in this one. Then, Agarax and Belirax , when the latter realized that he found Garaxial's Light. *Sarhax- We discover that in Chapter 8, she and two of her friends found the unconscious Garaxial (who was exiled from Spherus Magna). She wants to send him to Kan, the ruler of this world, hoping that he could be saved. (But little did she knew that he would change the world, perhaps forever) She was eventually hired by Garaxial with some of her friends to work with him. They worked on a project, which involved using protdermis and some of their metal, modifying it. When Garaxial lost his light, he transformed her into his slave. One of her missions was to find Agarax and gain information about other worlds so that Garaxial could begin his conquest. When Stronius was captured, she help participated in the project of cloning the Skrall. Several thousands of years later, we see her again working for him as he takes Sakari from Averax Magna. After meeting Sakari, she seems to have sense something powerful about the baby, but has no clue exactly what it was...Later, she discussed with Garaxial, figuring out ways on how to keep track of the princess. She is currently working with the other servants, preparing for a siege in Averax Magna. *** Factions Councils: These factions are made to keep peace amongst the civilians of Averax Magna.

For those that didn't know yet.... EOP has its name revealed! I'm kinda surprised that he actually mentioned it this year...(I thought he was going to mention the name later...?) So there's that and Bara Magna....

Here's some of my drawings....(I wish I could learn how to "computerize" these drawings....) Resting on the Grass...<3 What's up there?

Not necessary but it's gonna get intense....in fact this reminds me of a story....but it's a Tsubsasa Fan Story (and it's kinda a sad one too...)

Whoa whoa whoa...relax.... It's nothing compared to "the media"....especially that most of my friends that read anime get a little bit "high" on certain situations (don't ask why)...I only censored of what I said just to be on the safe side.... btw...this might be a bit more than a "simple kiss," which is why I said that my next drawing will be pg-13 ish... Now that reminds me of a story that I read earlier...but I don't know if you want to know about it...

LOL! But MN is hurt too....it's Romeo and Juliet all over again! (at least when they commit suicide..) I might plan another sketch of them....

AWESOME! Who's are those?? (nevermind...) Now I'm so jealous... Could you (if you have all of them) put all 12 Glatorian together in one pic? (make it a full house!)

Now I have to change my ideas about Kiina and Vastus.... I guess that Gresh wins! (Or maybe it's a love triangle!) (But I don't know if Gresh likes her back...he seems a bit O_o) Anyways.... Has "The Crossing" updated yet? We all have been waiting for chapter 2.....

I did this in a hurry last night. I'm going to try and color it sometime soon....but if anyone is willing to photoshop this...that's fine with me Anyway.... Resting in the grass... IT'S IN COLOR NOW! Enjoy! "The Destined Couple"

I'm assuming that either it's the future...if not...then it's an entire alternate dimension.... Edit: What I'm trying to say is that The dimension where Vezon is at is probably the future only because (I doubt this is true...) that the time is flowing faster... after all "The Kingdom" has a faster time flow... But I think it's just another dimension only that because we don't have enough info about the dimension itself (We don't know if Bara Magna is just its own or if it's part of Spherus Magna via "the melding"... :wacko: ...then again... I kinda read it in a hurry, so I can post this bit of news for all of you to see...

That's pretty good! I don't have any skills in Photoshop either ...so I'm stuck using colored pencils, (But I'm using the Prismacolor (sp?)) at least. You plan on coloring him?
