Chapter 1: The Beginning World… “I don’t believe in punishing those just because of what species she is! I would go insane if I were to do such terrible things to an innocent being whether I know a person or not. This person has a heart of gold and I will treat this person with respect!” ---Certavus ****** The Great Being nodded and turned to his partners, saying, “Take that sprit and insert it inside. Then let her wake up in the sands of Bara Magna, not far from Atero, so that the legend can be rewritten once more.” Then he turned to the others and said, “With that choice, this will be the start of everything. I entrust this to you.” He handed them a scroll. “This is a list of the things that you must do. At times, a character must make a decision, it is your job to follow what the scroll says and control that character’s fate…Also, you must not be seen…by her, her friends, and anyone associated with her, although you can talk to only other one being,” he explained. “And who will that be?” asked Sakari. “He’s a warrior who was badly injured, the one that helped your parents to succeed in their mission. He goes by Surel,” replied the Great Being. “That one warrior?” asked Agarax, “But how will we know where he’s at?” “He has his Iron Wolves, which is by the way, a creation of ours. They will help you in your quest, along with him,” he answered. *** Syarix and the Light Garaxial ran across the darken forest. It seemed as if they wouldn’t find their way out. “I hope Sakari and the others are okay,” said Syarix. “Quiet! I heard something!” snapped the Light Garaxial. The two turned to see a bunch of wolf-like creatures, made out of some type of metal mixed with organic material. At first the wolves seemed to want to attack them, but a whistle commanded them to stay still. “And what do we have here?” asked the voice. “Who are you?” asked Syarix, taking out his sword. “Ah…at least someone is curious. I’m Surel,” came the reply, “At least that I would have been named.” The Light Garaxial could see blood from the wounded warrior. He flew up to him and asked, “What did this to you?” “Huh,” said Surel, “If my friends thought sharper, I would’ve never been this badly injured.” “Who are your friends?” asked Garaxial. “My friends? Look at my armor. I once belonged to the Ice Tribe, well; at least I used to be part of. Then I was left behind as a sacrifice but thanks to these wolves, I managed to escape from here…” explained Surel, “But due to my injuries and being shunned, I cannot return to them, so now I’m just a loner.” “Well then. We’re on a search for our friends,” said Syarix, “Sakari, Belirax, and Agarax.” “Those names…I know them…” replied the injured warrior. “How is that?” asked the Light Garaxial. “I had a dream,” said Surel, “A Great Being told me that a time paradox would occur, thus messing up this world here. I was told that you plus those three are about to set up the inevitable, to control the lives of a female Skrall with a golden-armored being. They told me to help you out in order to succeed in this quest. That means that you are from the future…is it not?” “Well, you guessed it right,” answered Syarix. “Well then, we better find them and start the journey,” said Surel, “For we have a long way to go…” *** The ebon armored being opened her eyes and looked around. She had no idea where she was nor what was going on. Who am I, she thought, and what is this world? Then a named popped into her head. Skralla? That’s my name? If that’s what it is…then what is this world? Skralla stood up and turned to see a massive building in the distance. She could dimly see some small armored beings going in and out in a hurry. I wonder what’s with the rush, she thought. Then she walked slowly towards the massive building. As she got closer she saw a sign that said “Atero, City of the Arena Magna”. “Interesting,” she muttered, “Is it a village?” By the time she got there, she could see hundreds of small armored beings talking, selling various items and talking to taller armored beings. This is a nice place, she thought, but I don’t understand. Am I…? “Halt! No Skrall may enter!” shouted an Agori. “Eh? Skrall? My name is--?” began Skralla when another Agori shouted, “This is no place for the Skrall to play around!” Before Skralla could react, she was knocked down by a few Agori. Then they chained and dragged her towards the prison. “What’s going on? Why are you doing this? I haven’t done anything!” she protested. “You are a Skrall. You should know why,” snapped the Agori. “Stop!” shouted a warrior, “What’s with the commotion?” The Agori turned to see Certavus, one of the famous warriors. “But sir, this being is a Skrall. You know the rules,” said Metus, “And what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be fighting still?” “Look. I just woke up in the sands. I have no clue what’s going on…” she snapped, “Please. I need some answers here.” Certavus took a look at the female Skrall. She turned her head to the side and grumbled. Then the warrior came up to her and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll let you go…” “Nonsense!” shouted Kirbold, “She’ll be a threat to all of us if we release her!” Certavus grabbed Kirbold by the neck and said, “I don’t believe in punishing those just because of what species she is! I would go insane if I were to do such terrible things to an innocent being whether I know this person or not. This person has a heart of gold and I will treat this person with respect!” Then he dropped the Agori and turned to the female Skrall, and said, “Come with me. You have my permission to work in this place. The Agori could use a stronger being that can help support for this war going on.” He unchained her and took her hand. Skralla got up and said, “Thank you. Now could you explain to me about this war?” *** Sakari, Belirax, and Agarax walked across the sands. According to what the Great Beings said, they would find the others in the mountains with Surel. “Now how will we get there?” asked Belirax, “This planet hasn’t shattered yet and I wasn’t even outside of the Black Spikes.” “I’m sure there’s a way,” said Sakari, perhaps Surel might send his wolves to us…wait! Look!” The three turned to see two other beings in the distance. It took a few moments to realize that it was Skralla with a white armored being. “We have to change directions,” said Sakari, “Let’s go before they see us.” “Who are they?” asked Agarax, not understanding this. “That’s my mother. From her memories, she’s with someone named Certavus. But we can’t interfere or else we’ll change this time period,” explained Sakari. The three changed directions, heading west towards the Great Sea. “Perhaps the sea could lead us towards the mountains,” muttered Sakari. All she could do was to pray and hope that this would lead them the way to find Syarix and the Light Garaxial. *** Meanwhile, the others walked along the beaches of Aqua Magna, searching for their companions as well. “My wolves will find them. They have great scenting abilities,” said Surel. “Should we just keep going?” asked Syarix. “Not to worry, they’ll be back soon,” replied the warrior, “Besides, I need to rest. Perhaps you can go and find them while I’ll stay here.” Nodding, Syarix turned and followed the wolves. Not taking any chances, he took out his sword, preparing for any possible ambushes. I hope you’re out there, Sakari, he thought. Then he gasped, he saw three beings emerging from the rocky cliffs. Sure enough he recognized Sakari and the others, accompanied by the wolves. “Sakari!” he shouted, “Is everyone alright?” “Yeah, we’re fine. Are you okay, yourself?” she asked. “Yes. The others are waiting for you,” he replied. When the group returned, Surel turned and saw Sakari, holding a scroll in her hands. “Is that the list?” he asked, “The ones that you must fulfill?” “Yes. Here, I was told that you’ll be helping us along the way,” she said. “I will be able to help you, but I can only do so much, my wolves will guide all of you in this quest. In return, I shall keep this a big secret, or else it might change the timeline in this world,” he explained. “Well,” said Syarix, “What does the list say?” Sakari opened the scroll and read the first message. Then she handed it to him, who he then passed it around. As soon as Sakari got it back, she placed it inside her cloak. The first thing that it said would be simple, but difficult as well… ~AN: The First Task: “Skralla and Certavus must witness the departure of Mata Nui. This will allow the Great Spirit to have dim memories when he returns to this world once he’s exiled.” Review Story

Prologue: The Core War, an arrival of the future… “I will do anything to fix this paradox. My mother, my father, and my kingdom cannot suffer! I won’t allow them to die in vain!” ---Sakari ****** A dozen of warriors from the Fire Tribe marched down the slopes of the Rocky Cliff. They were not far from Aqua Magna, home of the Water Tribe. “Is this necessary?” asked one of the soldiers. “Yes,” said their leader, “We have to keep moving so we can get our prize. The other tribes are heading towards the Northern Frost. So we have to get there first. This path is a shortcut." As they walked, they saw the Great Sea. The waters seemed calm at first, but then a gigantic wave churned, heading towards the warriors. “Separate!” shouted the leader, “And regroup at the other side!” The twelve warriors ran in separate directions, trying to confuse the Water Lord. The Lord of Water raised its hand, sending other waves towards them. Then a surprise group from the water tribe ambushed the Fire Tribe warriors. “Attack!” shouted the Fire Leader. The two sides clashed, using whatever powers they had. As long as their corresponding Element Lord remained alive, the warriors would be granted a limited range of elemental powers. It seemed that both sides were in a stalemate…until a bright flash of light glowed the entire sky…blinding everyone. “Is this some trick?” shouted one of the water warriors. “What’s going on?” snapped the leader of the Fire Tribe Warriors. But before anyone could respond, they all disappeared. They’re still on Spherus Magna, but the result of this bright light teleported them away…somewhere far from this new arrival… *** On another section of this combative planet, a group of Great Beings placed another set of metallic protodermis and protosteel on their latest project, the Mata Nui Robot. For the last several years, they continued their project which might be their last. In theory, Mata Nui would be the answer to this Core War. He would help solve this problem and make peace amongst its people. “Is the Ignika ready?” asked one of them. Another Great Being held a pouch, inside was the powerful mask of life, waiting to be placed inside. “Then take it in. You know where to go, head to Metru Nui first, then Karzahni, and head south, hopefully the Matoran won’t notice your arrival,” said the Great Being. “Don’t worry,” said the other Great Being, “My partner and I have our cloaks ready.” “Good, now hurry,” he replied, “Then meet me back as we prepare his conscious, the essence that’ll take root of this robot.” *** Two other Great Beings stood inside their fortress. One of them finished the essence that’ll be the spirit of Mata Nui. The other carried another essence, but couldn’t decide what to do with it. “What about this extra spirit?” she asked. “We don’t need it,” said the other being, “I don’t know why you personally made that…” “But…even though we are sure that Mata Nui will be alright…but what if something bad happens to him? That’s why I made this other spirit. It needs a name…” replied the female Great Being. But before the other being could respond, they heard the arrival of another Great Being. “Is Mata Nui’s essence ready yet?” he asked, “I sent the two to go place the Ignika inside that robot.” “Yes,” he replied, “But our friend here seems to have an extra…” “I don’t want this spirit to be wasted. Is there anyone that we could use?” asked the female being. “There is…but we have to wait…” said the male Great Being, “They have come…they are the ones…” “What are you talking about?” she asked. “Come with me,” he said, “There’s someone that you might want to see.” *** Sakari woke up and turned her head. She seemed to recognize this place, but right now she could hear far away battles. She turned and saw a group of being working on a gigantic robot. According to her mother’s memories, she recognized that it was her father… Hey father, I hope you’re well…she thought, Maybe with luck, I can find mother… Belirax woke up and couldn’t believe her eyes. “We’re back?” she asked. “No…,” answered Agarax, “Something’s awfully wrong about this place. Listen.” The three listen to the sounds. From what they heard, it sounded like a series of battles of various warriors fighting. “Is this…our past?” asked Belirax. “More over, this is my mother’s memories,” replied Sakari, “We’re back in time…and where’s Syarix and our new friend?” *** Syarix and the Light Garaxial woke up in a dense jungle. He could hear nearby battles. He realized that Sakari was not with him. I hope she’s with the others…or else she’ll be in danger…he thought, but I have to tell Sakari that I love her…but when? “Let’s find them…” said the Light Garaxial, “We need to regroup. They walked for a few minutes, taking precaution at every corner. Then they could see clearly, he saw a group of green-armored warriors fighting some black-ebon beings. Neither of them could not figure out who they were, but they stayed hidden. “Give us back that liquid!” shouted one of the Skrall. “No!” shouted one of the green-armored beings, “We found this first!” “Then die in the name of the Rock Tribe!” snapped another Skrall. The green-armored being took a step back, and then suddenly he tripped on a rock and dropped the canister of the silvery liquid. He tried to catch it before the Skrall tried to retrieve it but the canister cracked, a leak poured onto the warrior’s head. Suddenly his body began to glow…at first dimly, then brightly… What’s happening to me…thought Erax. “Erax!” shouted Vastus, as he tried to cover his eyes “What’s going on?” “This is my destiny,” replied Erax as he was consumed by the energized protodermis, “Yours lays in the future, Vastus. Don’t worry about me…everything will be alright…” Then the bright light disappeared. Erax stood up and looked at himself through a reflection from the river. His body has merely changed; no longer he was a simple, warrior but held the power to cross worlds. “I cannot stay in this world,” he continued, “I must go…” He raised his hand, and a portal opened. Before the Skrall could attempt to kill him, he stepped inside and disappeared… I have to tell Sakari about this, though Syarix, maybe that being who disappeared might be the key… Whatever it was…could it be our way out, thought the Light Garaxial. *** Sakari, Agarax and Belirax woke up in a small chamber, chained on the wall. Earlier, they were walking along the beaches of Aqua Magna when they were knocked out suddenly with no sign of warning. “What’s going on?” snapped Belirax. “This is…but a time paradox…” said one of the Great Beings, “You guys came from the future…right?” “How do you know?” asked Agarax. “Cause I talked to your other self a while ago, Agarax. He agreed to the terms on going on a mission through various worlds,” replied the Great Being. “This is impossible,” said Sakari, “How are we back in time?” “Ah, Sakari, daughter of Skralla,” answered the Great Being, “Your answer lies in your mother’s memories. But the only thing that was left out was what happened after you received the memories. You see, she and Mata Nui turned back time…keeping their world safe…from that one man…” “What do you even know about Garaxial?” snapped Agarax. “Because…it was we who created him…” replied the Great Being. Then he could tell the expression of his captives, and then he added, “We believed that he would be no harm…but apparently, his power corrupted him, was it not?” “You know it is,” growled Agarax. The Great Being nodded and turned to the others, saying, “Bring the body in. They have a choice to make…” “A choice?” asked Sakari, “What do you mean?” The two great beings carried the empty body of a female Skrall. Sakari, Agarax and Belirax gasped at the sight. The body belonged to Skralla, the destined female Skrall…the mother of Sakari… “This is your choice,” said the Great Being, “If you accept this, then there’s hope for you to stop this Time Paradox and set things right for this world, and its future. Recline, and the world shall suffer in chaos, fear, and death.” Sakari sighed, she wished that there was another way, but if this was the only plan to save her people, then she would be entitled to do so. “I will do anything to fix this paradox. My mother, my father, and my kingdom cannot suffer! I won’t allow them to die in vain!” said Sakari. Review Story

Welcome to my Story Review Topic! Here you can discuss any of my past and present writings of my epics that I wrote. For easy access, use the links below to find the story! Any updates and announcements are at the bottom of this post. The History of My Fanfics. Well then, I don't know where to start, but it all happened back in early 09' when I thought to myself, Why not have a female Skrall be a princess to her people? But of course, when I found out that the Female Skrall and the males lived separately, I thought that my epic would be screwed. However, I had the idea of using flashbacks to make up for why did both genders lived together. By the time I finished my first Bionicle Epic, "Princess Skralla", it was quite a hit so I changed the ending and decided to make a sequel, "The Rising Darkness" along with "The Great Plague". Once I was finished with that trilogy, it felt like as if something was not yet completed. I realized the answer once I figured out when another favorite story that I liked, "Tsubasa: Reservior Chronicle", (author: CLAMP) was about to end too. So I thought to myself that I should make another trilogy and have MN and S have a child who must go on a journey to save Averax Magna. (hence, that's where I thought of the new title, Averax Magna Chronicles) However, when I found out that the C!Sakura ("C!" is a short cut of saying "Clone) and C!Syaoran died at the end of the battle against FWR, I decided to mix my Averax Magna Bionicle with some Tsubasa Fanfic where those two were reincarnated into "Sakari" and "Syarix", but had forgotten their past back in TRC. So once the epilogue was released, I started to figure out how should I get the survivors in TRC to meet up with my characters in AMC. As of my latest epic, Petals in the Pond, I wanted the story to be based on the famous Shakespeare Play of "Romeo and Juliet" as well as the anime by Gonzo, "Romeo x Juliet". Recently, the Decade Story has begun, with several new dimensions revealed as well as some old ones from AMC and PS. Current Epics *Decade: The Endless Journey- A Single Glatorian from the AMC/PS Timeline must prepare to go on a dangerous quest. His involvement in other worlds will determine the future for many; some for the better, others for worse. But a price must be paid in order to gain such privileges...how much can the future change? The possibilities are endless... ****** Completed Epics *Averax Magna Trilogy *Note that Averax Magna takes place after the Princess Skralla arc. Those three epics are out on bzpower. ~~~Book 1: Kingdoms of Paradise (The Story) *Princess Sakari, daughter of Mata Nui and Skralla gets kidnapped by an old enemy who plans to take over the Spherus Magna of that reality. However, an everylasting journey is about to unleash as Sakari tries to find her way back home. Allied by Syarix, Belirax, and Agarax, a time paradox is about to unveil... ~~~Book 2: The Frozen Time (The Story) *Betrayed! Sakari and her new friends are trapped in a time paradox as they must save Sakari's future by completing the tasks on a scroll. Guided by Surel, an ancient warrior who was betrayed by his own tribe, will the team be able to complete all tasks in this twisted reality? ~~~Book 3: A Final Wish (The Story) *The Final Battle: As the team gets closer and closer to present time, another group of warriors arrive. However, a major secret of Sakari and Syarix is revealed in this shocking finale! But in order to save Averax Magna from falling into Garaxial's hands, sacrifices must be made as the future of Spherus Magna lies in Sakari's own hands. *Petals in the Pond (The Story) *A new dimension is unveiled as a pair of star crossed lovers must prepare to save their world from falling apart. With two tribes fighting for power, they forget that the evil Skrall are about to kill them all! Will Kiina and Gresh save their tribes' future? Or will the Skrall complete their plans and take over Bara Magna by blood and steel? ****** Future Epics Okay, this list here are just some ideas for later on.... Golden Reign- Takes place between PS and AMC. It's the timeline when MN and S are rulers of Averax Magna before Sakari is born. The story stars from the moment where MN and S are announced "king and queen" up to Sakari's birth. I might also do some chapters that take place after AMC 3 ended, kinda like a "post-ending". Announcements To all of those that enjoy reading my Bionicle Fanfiction.... My future epic, Decade, will take place in many universes. Now, from what I've read in the other Bionicle threads, many of you want to see some old characters again....right? Now that Bionicle is somewhat "ending", (in terms of sets, I think the storyline is continued till 2011, right??) there are so many characters that could be useful for my new epic but I want to know who do you want to see. I will post more information later about the "Decade" story and a map of where this Glatorian will be traveling to, but for now, tell me which character do you want and I'll try to make them appear in some universe that Erax will visit too.

Averax Magna Chronicles Book II: The Frozen Time Notice: Like my last novel, I will keep track of information. "*" indicates any new or updated information. But unlike the last novel, I will also add a few facts at the end of some chapters, clarifying each event that was created and what the effects are as a result that would take place in the "Princess Skralla" arc. You'll see this symbol "~AN:" for author's note. The Review: Link Please, if you had NOT read the epic...use this link before continuing on... Book 1: Kingdoms of Paradise Summary: Our fabled heroes, Mata Nui and Skralla used the last of their powers: to wound back time in order to keep their world safe from Garaxial's attack. Unfortunately, it caused a priceless consequence to their daughter, Sakari, and her new friends. Now, they're stuck in the past: back over 100,000 years ago, when Spherus Magna was still in power...just as Skralla and Mata Nui are being created, their destiny...now relies on Sakari...who must make their future for them...meaning that if Mata Nui and Skralla never meet, or if any of the past events back in the Princess Skralla Arc don't happen or changes in a different outcome, then Sakari shall cease to exist...and the storyline shall never be the same... But there is hope... in order for Sakari and Averax Magna to "re-exist", she must use her mother's memories to set up the inevitable and cause events to happen, but even if she succeeds in rebuilding the past, will she ever return home to save her people? Characters: *Sakari: The Daughter of Mata Nui and Skralla and the "destined princess" of Averax Magna. Now she must rely on her mother's memory and her Ancient Cloak in order to set things right. After being captured by the GBs, she is granted a choice...to rewrite her mother's past or the future would suffer. She accepts the terms and receives a scroll that provides instructions to control the fate of this time. She and the others later reunited with Syarix, Surel, and the Light Garaxial, preparing the first task. She, Syarix, and the Light Garaxial traveled to Atero, but realized that there was too many Agori to hide from. She used her powers from the cloak to turn invisible along with Syarix to sneak their way in while the Light Garaxial distracted the Agori with a series of fireworks. When the task was completed (once Certavus made his choice to show Skralla the construction of Mata Nui), the time flow began to change...(before that happened however, Sakari received a telepathic message from the Great Beings about how the time flow will change when they accomplish a task as well as receiving keys for something.) When the sudden time flow stopped, they reappear in the day when "The Shattering" occurred. Later, Sakari and the others found the caves where "The Prophecy" must be "re-written". Upon the next arrival in another time period, she and the others discover the Baterra attacking the Skrall. She and the others barely escaped and fled to Sure's hideout. Sakari read the next task which told her to deliver a message to Tuma so he could take Skralla home. The Time of flow changed once again, this time they must make sure that Certavus must die. Sakari seemed awfully shocked at this request but still, she and the others followed Certavus quietly to Atero, and poisoned his drink. The next time period they arrived was about 66,000 years ago and the next task was given to her and her teammates; to scatter the ten crystals. Sakari went alone into the Tesara to place the Green Crystal on an empty shelf. In addition, she was also tasked to give the ancient book to Berix. She and Syarix successfully placed the book in his hut and met with the others outside of the village. Arriving at 55,000 years ago, the next task was that Starax must die, in order for Skralla to become the princess as well as Tuma becoming the leader of the Skrall. Once the team reached 20,000 years ago, they witness Skralla becoming the princess as well as the Baterra attacking the Skrall. Sakari took this chance to use her cloak to create an escape route for Skralla and Tuma. Arriving at 1,500 years ago, Sakari discovered that it was the time when Skralla and the others were attacked by the Sand Bats. Sakari borrowed Belirax's horn to send an alarm indirectly to the Sisters of the Skrall. Later, after waking up from the next span of time traveling, she kissed Syarix's head to sooth his headache, not realizing what she was doing at first. She almost felt bad as a result of showing her affection. The group managed to sneak their way into Roxtus, however it began to rain. After finding some caves to hide into, Sakari took Syarix with her, using the cloak to stay invisible to head out to the fortress. Upon arriving there, they discovered that Skralla was running away from the city. Sakari and Syarix reunited with the others and the group went to the fortress in order to complete the next task. However, during the process, Erax arrived from another world and fell unconscious. The group brought the injured "Glatorian" to safety in order to evade from being seen. *Syarix: One of Sakari's trusted friends. He must help her in order to succeed the past and to help save the future. His Ebon Master Sword will make sure that any enemies will not get in their way. He woke up in the forest and saw a nearby conflict between a few Skrall and some green-armored beings. One of them disappeared as a result of a blinding light. Later, he meets Surel with the Iron Wolves and found Sakari and the others. He, Sakari and the Light Garaxial traveled to Atero, only realizing that there was too difficult to sneak their way in. The Light Garaxial created a display of fireworks to distract the Agori while he and Sakari stole some sheets to make a map. When the task was accomplished, the flow of time began to change...they appeared in the next time period, the day of "The Shattering". Syarix and the others went into the caves where they must re-write "The Prophecy" in order to prepare for the next eclipse...Upon arriving in the next time period, they discover the Baterra attacking the Skrall, forcing the male Skrall to flee to the south. Syarix and the team barely escaped with the help of Garaxial's Light powers. They fled into Surel's hideout and helped Sakari to make a message for Tuma so he could meet Skralla in Atero. In the time Time Period, they were told by the scroll to cause the death of Certavus. He and the others followed the Glatorian to Atero and poisoned his drink. At around 66,000 years ago (in terms of the time period), the fifth task was given, telling them to scatter the ten crystals, one of which must be given to Skralla while another must be given to Berix. Also, that Agori must receive a book so he could use it to help Skralla in the far future. He and Sakari managed to leave the book in his hut and escaped to the outskirts, reuniting with the others. By 55,000 years ago, he and the others were tasked to cause the death of Starax, thus make Tuma the last of his elite breed. Syarix used his sword to channel a fire blast in order for Starax to fall. The group then arrived in another time period, this time, the day when Skralla was crowned princess. An army of Baterra attacked the celebration, killing various Agori and Skrall. Syarix and the others escaped to the mountains, waiting for Sakari to complete her task. Upon arriving in 1,500 years ago, Sakari revealed her love to him as well as preforming the next task: to launch a signal to the Sisters of the Skrall. After arriving in the next time period, Syarix had a headache and Sakari kissed him on the forehead. The group managed to sneak into Roxtus, however it began to rain. Sakari used her cloak once more and the two went towards the fortress, only realizing that Skralla was running away from the village. Later, Syarix returned to the fortress with Sakari and the others to complete the next task. However, during the task, a new arrival was coming in from another world, the same one that Syarix saw a while back. The group to Erax to safety and later got in a conversation with him. *Belirax: A Female Skrall who founded the "Sisters of the Skrall". She was sent by Skralla and Mata Nui to guide Sakari. She was captured along with Sakari and Agarax and woke up inside the GB's Fortress. She and the others left, searching for the others, but also saw the "Skralla" of that timeline, walking with Certavus. She eventually reunited with Syarix, Surel and the Light Garaxial. When it was time to preform the first task, she waited for Sakari, Syarix and the Light Garaxial to bring back some supplies to create a map of the working site of Mata Nui. When it was accomplished, the time flow fast forward, sending them on the day of "The Shattering". Belirax and the others later discovered a cave where "The Prophecy" must be written. Later, she arrived in the day when the Baterra attacked the Skrall. She remembered the day very well when her "past self" led the remaining female Skrall into the Maze Valley. Belirax later helped Sakari to create a message for Tuma so he could take Skralla to Roxtus. When she and the others arrived in the next Time Period, they were forced by the scroll that Certavus must die. The Team managed to sneak into Atero once again and poisoned Certavus' drink. When she and the others arrived in the next time period, the scroll told them to scatter the ten crystals. Throughout this mission, they arrived in Tajun to secretly deliver an ancient book to Berix. But unexpected arrivals from another tribe went into the village to watch an Arena Match. She and the others escaped, leaving a coded symbol for Sakari to read so she would find them outside, in order to keep their presence hidden from others. At 55,000 years ago, she and the others read the next task, which told them to cause the death of Starax. By 20,000 years ago, Belirax and the others witnessed Skralla's inauguration as well as the Baterra's siege. She managed to escape with the others, waiting for Sakari to complete her mission. By 1,500 years ago, Belirax recalled that this was when she met Skralla. She gave Sakari a horn in order to send the alarm to the Sisters of the Skrall. Then, she used her mental assault powers to send all of the Skrall unconscious. After arriving at the next time period, her nose was starting to bleed. The Light Garaxial used his light powers to temporally heal her and the group moved on, journeying into Roxtus, with caution. Then the weather began to rain, and the group fled into the caves. Later, Belirax went to the fortress to help Sakari and Syarix complete the next task. However, a new person was arriving from another world. The group took the new comer to safety in order to evade anyone that would screw up the time paradox. *Agarax: The Former Slave of Garaxial, now a runaway being who must help Sakari in her quest. He was eventually captured with Belirax and Sakari, and woke up inside a chamber in the GB's Fortress. The three were given a scroll that provides important tasks to do. He later re-joined with Syarix, Surel, and the Light Garaxial. Sakari, Syarix and the Light Garaxial left to find supplies while he, Belirax, and Surel stayed by the beaches. When the first task was completed, the flow of time began to change...sending them on the day of "The Shattering". When the next task on the scroll tells them to write down "The Prophecy", they went to the caves and began to carve out the message. When the time flow changed, they arrived on the day when the Skrall were forced to flee into Roxtus. He later helped Sakari and the others to create a message for Tuma so he could meet Skralla in Atero. In the next Time Period, the message on the scroll told them to kill Certavus so he could give Skralla the necklace. Despite this argument, the team still killed the Glatorian by poisoning his drink. The next task that he's did was to scatter the ten crystals. During this task, their journey took them to Tajun, in order for an ancient book to be given to Berix. When another tribe entered Tajun to watch an Arena Match, he and the others escaped, keeping their presence hidden. Belirax left a code on the ground, telling Sakari and Syarix on where they were hiding. Later, they arrived in the next time period and were tasked to kill Starax. After wards, they arrived on the day when Skralla became the princess of the Skrall, and watched the Baterra killing a number of Skrall. Agarax fled with the others while Sakari completed a task by herself to set things right. Afterwords, the group arrived in around 1,500 years ago, witnessing the Sand Bats attacking a group of Skrall. At 3 years ago, Agarax woke up after hearing Sakari making noise. Later, the group arrived in Roxtus without getting caught, however, it began to rain and the team fled into the caves in order to stay dry. Later, Agarax went to the fortress with the others in order to complete the next task. Then, Erax arrives from another world and the group brought the new arrival to safety. *Garaxial's Light: The remaining "goodness" of Garaxial as a result of a tragic accident. His range of light powers will be useful, but will it be enough to stop the other Garaxial? When he and Syarix woke up in the forest, they heard a nearby battle. He and Syarix took an investigation and witness a warrior receiving the power to cross worlds. Later, he met Surel and his Iron Wolves and reunited with Sakari, Belirax, and Agarax. Together, they read the first task on the scroll. As a result of this task, he went with Sakari and Syarix to prepare for the first task. He distracted the Agori using his light powers to create a display of fireworks. Once the task was completed, the flow of time began to move forward rapidly...sending them on the day of "The Shattering". Afterwords, read the next task and went into the caves in order to write out "The Prophecy". This Garaxial used his powers to link to his other self, in order to gather information on what his other self discovered, realizing that the other Garaxial has already discovered the secret of Bara Magna, "The Eclipse" and "The Fusion". Upon arriving in the next time period, they arrived on the day when the Baterra forced the male Skrall to flee into Roxtus. He used a blast of light to distract them while he and the others tried to escape before they were caught. After the message was sent to Tuma, they arrived in the next time period. The message on the scroll tells them to kill Certavus in order for Skralla to receive the necklace from the warrior. Despite the argument, they still did it by poisoning Certavus' drink. Upon arriving in the next time period, he and the others were tasked to scatter the ten crystals. Through out this mission, they went to Tesara and waited for Sakari to deliver a green crystal, alone. When she came back, they went to Tajun in order to place an ancient book and the blue crystal to Berix. But when an another tribe arrived to see an Arena Match, he and the others barely escaped, leaving some coded symbols on the ground for Sakari and Syarix to read, telling them that they were outside in order to keep their presence hidden from the others. Upon arriving at the next time period, Garaxial and the others were ordered by the scroll to cause the death of Starax. After that, they found themselves on the day was Skralla officially titled, princess. However, a large number of Baterra invaded, killing a number of Agori and Skrall. Garaxial and the other team mates escaped, waiting for Sakari to return of her task. By 1,500 years ago, the team witnessed several Skrall getting attacked by the Sand Bats. Upon reaching 3 years ago, he woke up by a surprised Sakari and saw Belirax bleeding from her nose. He came up to her and realized that it was the effects of time traveling. So he used his elemental powers to temporally heal her. After arriving in Roxtus, the weather began to rain and the group ran into the caves to stay dry. Later, the group raced into the fortress in preparation for the next task. Then, Garaxial saw a stranger coming in from another world. He and the others brought the new comer to safety. *Erax: A warrior from the Jungle Tribe who was exposed to the energized protodermis, thus his destiny was granted with the power to cross dimensions, but it is only a one-way trip. He left the world, saying that he must find his destiny...He will later reappear in this story, but it is unknown when. How he gains a permanent power of crossing worlds is yet to be revealed... Recently, Erax has arrived but fell unconscious. He was taken to safety with Sakari and the others in a cave. He was later in a discussion with the team and vows to help them on the journey.

Review Story Chapter 17: The Choice of Destiny Kotan World: The Sealed Darkness Dimension Garaxial looked at his newly reformed Shadow Entities. After upgrading them for so long, the time has at last come. The Invasion of Averax Magna was about to begin. “This is all of them…right?” he asked, “I do not want one entity to be absent. We need full force!” “It is…” said Sarhax, “And what will you do with Spherus Magna?” “It will be the start of my conquest,” answered Garaxial, “Then when every universe falls to us, the one most important rule of power shall shatter…and be rewritten by me!” “Well then, I suppose we’ll activate the portal,” said Sarhax. She walked towards a gigantic mirror that her friends created. If this device worked, then the shadow entities will be able to arrive in Spherus Magna in a matter of seconds and begin their spread. “Start it,” commanded Garaxial. Sarhax flipped the switch. The mirror glowed, then the image changed, showing the beautiful country of Averax Magna. “Go…” said Garaxial to the Shadow Entities, “Take that land and start the conquest. Kill all of them…and leave no one...alive!” *** East Highway Trail Tahu, Ackar, and the others walked for the last hour. They were almost back into the kingdom. But suddenly, the skies started to shake. A gigantic rift opened, spilling a gigantic black mass of shadow entities, all heading towards one destination, the Averax Palace. “What is that?” asked Ackar. “I think someone wants us,” answered Tahu, “Come on! We have to get to the village and fight!” Pohatu activated his mask once more, sending him and the others flying at full speed. “Do you think we’ll make it in time?” asked the Toa of Stone. Tahu looked at the sky and replied, “I don’t know…but if this country falls…then we might end up in a similar reign like the last one…” Averax Palace Mata Nui saw the black mass flying towards the kingdom. In a matter of minutes, Averax Magna would fall into the shadows. He turned to Skralla and said, “It’s time. We have to go.” The two walked towards a desolated chamber in the palace. Inside was the Vahi that floated in the air. Mata Nui and Skralla hugged together for what it could be their last. “Our memories together…were precious,” said Skralla, “Now we must put them safe as we prepare the future…” “When I first met you, I knew that we had something to share…our power…our lives…and our relationship,” replied Mata Nui. “Your existence is what made me feel…the happiest,” she continued. “And I will always love you, no matter what happens,” he said. Skralla tried her best not to cry, but she was worried about the future of this world. “I swear, with this power, I will find a way to bring us out of this trap, stop this repeating time, and end that man’s dreams,” said Mata Nui. Then the two held hands for a moment, and then they stepped back. Mata Nui summoned the Ignika whilst Skralla summoned the Necklace. Then, the two most powerful beings are about to change the destiny of Averax Magna, either for the better, or for the worse… The Ignika and the Necklace glowed. Two beams of power struck at the Vahi. Then the Mask of Time glowed, activating its power like it never has used… “To Wound Back Time…” The Ten crystals that made the Necklace powerful broke free from its bonds, and disappeared into the void…heading towards the unknown… The Vahi’s effects slowed down the rotation of Spherus Magna, freezing everything, from the citizens, to the raging shadows. Everything stopped…then slowly things started to reverse…slowly…then time stopped again and Spherus Magna was finally frozen in time…nothing could move foreword or backward…everyone was lost in time…in order to keep the world safe… *** The two bodies of Mata Nui and Skralla dissolved; their essences flowed into the Vahi… Mata Nui woke up and saw Skralla on the other side of the barrier…just like in their dreams. Mata Nui came up to the barrier and wanted to hold Skralla’s hand but knew that this was the price…to sacrifice their power to keep their world safe…he could not touch her hand nor they could embrace their love… “That dream of Garaxial’s…” began Skralla. “Shall not proceed,” said Mata Nui. “Until we can meet again…” she continued, placing her hand on the barrier. “We’ll have to wait…for Sakari’s Return,” he answered as he placed his hand on the field. Then, the two most powerful beings could only look at each other and pray that Sakari will succeed in her mission. Should she fail…then the future of this world would be at a chaotic end…. *** “What is this?” snapped Garaxial, “Why are they coming back?” “The time flow…it stopped,” said Sarhax, “They must have stopped the flow of time!” “With that…the flow will affect the other universes…we must find a way to unlock,” muttered Garaxial, “Before our world gets affected.” “Does that mean…that Sakari…” began Sarhax. “Yes. Now we must make sure that she seeming saves Averax Magna, then once she finds a way to unlock that world, we’ll continue our raid…for now…we must use them…and make sure that they “succeed”. *** The bright light continued to spread in Tasarta Country, blinding everyone in its path. “What’s going on?” shouted Belirax, “Did something happen to them?” But before anyone could answer…the world changed around them… “Sakari!” shouted Syarix, “Hold my hand!” Sakari found his hand and held it tight, whatever is happening…their journey is just the beginning…as our friends are about to head back in time…to the day when the Spherus Magna has not yet shattered…when Skralla and Mata Nui are created…and when another choice is yet to be made…a choice that will determine the future of Sakari and her lost kingdom…

Of course...re-wound back time!! A wish that it could be granted....but alas...we have no sign of time traveling in this world...unless if Yuuko-San exists...but compensation will be required in order for the wish to come true...and it could be anything...as long as it's not too little nor too much...it could be from relationships with family/friends to precious weapons...

Alright...I'll go back and check and see what I missed...but...I GOT THIS REVIEW UPDATED!!! So hopefully, this will be better than what it was.... I will add my final thoughts to this later about the four G'Legends... Edit: Okay...I've checked...and the description matches...there's no mistake...seriously...WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING??? *sigh* I guess that reviews aren't my thing...after all....I'm only a writer, an anime fan, and... *sigh* a translator... I flipped the armor around...but it looked weird (so I flipped it back)....O_o....seriously...I might revamp him if that's what all of you guys want/wish...is it?

Review Story Chapter 16: The Secret Memories… The Light Garaxial looked at Syarix and Sakari. The princess was quite shocked, who took a step back, heading towards the door. “You…you are that man!” said Sakari, “The one that is after my parents!” “Why would that be?” asked the Light Garaxial, “I am merely a spirit, but hosts a weak body.” “Then why are you like this?” asked Sakari. “I was never like this…” he replied, “I was once part of a body, the body of the True Garaxial. Then one day, a terrible accident resulted his light, which I am composed of, to disappear. I traveled in various worlds, trying to hide from his shadows. I eventually came here in order to keep myself safe…” “So if he finds you?” asked Syarix, “Would he?” “Yes, he would kill me,” said the light being, “He will do anything to prevent me from merging into his body once more.” Syarix turned and saw Sakari falling. He ran up to her and realized that she was summoned into the dreams… Please wake up, he thought, there’s no time to sleep at this moment… *** Sakari’s Final Dream… Sakari woke up and realized that she was alone. She turned to find her mother but saw nothing. She wondered if this dream was real, but then a portal opened. Skralla stepped into the Dream once more and saw her daughter. She tried her best to hide her worries and walked up to her. “Mother, what’s wrong?” asked Sakari. “It’s nothing,” said Skralla, “I’m happy to have you as my daughter…I hope you’ve been well.” “Seriously, what’s going on?” asked the princess, “I want to know.” Skralla sighed and said, “If you want to know, then hand me the other half of the necklace. In trade, I shall give you my memories.” “What?” snapped Sakari, “Your…memories?” “Yes. You’ll need them when the time comes. For the future of Averax Magna, is in your hands,” answered Skralla. Sakari took off the necklace and handed it to her mother. Then Skralla placed her hand on her forehead and placed it on her daughter’s forehead. Suddenly, Sakari could see all sorts of events happening. “Was this?” she began. “Yes. What you see is my past, Sakari,” said Skralla, “Of all the things I went through. You’ll need them in if anything goes wrong…” “But mother,” said Sakari, “If you give this to me…then won’t you forget?” “No I won’t,” answered Skralla, “These are a copy of my memories of the exact events. I have my own in my heart in case if I were to forget something. “Now the time has come,” said the queen, “You and Syarix must be prepared for your destinies. If you miss this, then the consequences are unknown.” “Mother, what do you mean?” asked Sakari as the world changed around her. “Just believe in yourself! I’m sure you’ll be alright if you do!” shouted Skralla as Sakari disappeared… *** Averax Palace Skralla woke up and saw Mata Nui carrying the Vahi. She got up and asked, “Did they leave?” “Not yet,” said Mata Nui, “Brutaka is not far. He’ll be here shortly.” “They have to hurry, time is running out,” muttered Skralla, “But let’s go and see them before they leave.” The two ran down the stairs and saw Belirax and Agarax in the central chamber. The two seemed quite nervous about something. “Is something wrong?” asked Skralla. “It’s nothing,” answered Belirax, “And are you sure that this is the right thing to do?” “I’m sure,” replied Skralla, “In case if anything goes wrong. You’ll be able to lead Sakari in the right direction.” Brutaka got inside and saw the four talking. Then he asked, “Are you guys ready?” “It’s only these two,” said Skralla, gesturing Agarax and Belirax and continued, “They’re ready for their travels.” Brutaka nodded and activated the mask. Although the Olmak was repaired, it took a few tries to get the portal to open completely. Then Belirax and Agarax stepped into the portal, preparing their greatest journey of their lives. “Now all that we need…” muttered Mata Nui. “Is to get ourselves ready for the storm,” finished Skralla. Kotan World: The Sealed Darkness Dimension “Is it ready yet?” asked Garaxial. “Yes. Once the shadows have enough power, we can set the invasion to Averax Magna,” replied Sahrax, “And what about the princess and her boyfriend?” “We’ll deal with them…once her family is dead,” answered Garaxial. Then he turned and muttered to himself, “When the time comes, I will be able to at last…unleash my powers and take over worlds in one grasp…” “Master,” said Detex, “I recently found Sakari’s location.” “Where are they?” he asked darkly. “In a dimension where your spirit is at,” answered Detex. Garaxial’s eyes widened, then narrowed. Finally he said, “So…they’re meeting with my light…how intruding…they must be thinking that it’s impossible…” “What should we do?” asked Detex, waiting for his reply. “See to that my light self will travel with them. Perhaps we can set a trap in order to kill them…along with my light,” he replied, “For now…we got an invasion to prepare for.” *** Tasarta Country Sakari woke up with a gasp. She could feel her mother’s memories but the necklace was gone. She turned to see Syarix along with the Light Garaxial. “What happened to me?” asked Sakari. “You must have fell asleep,” replied Syarix, “What did you see this time?” “I…I…saw my mother…” said Sakari, “She gave me her memories in trade for the other half of the necklace. She says not to worry as long as I have the cloak and if I believe in myself. She sounded worried but I couldn’t figure out what she was trying to say.” “I’m sure everything will be arlight,” said the Light Garaxial, “As long as your family knows what they’re doing, I’m sure you’ll be able to return home, some day.” Before anyone could say anything, a portal opened. Syarix jumped up and took out his sword. He had no idea who was coming out…but he wouldn’t take a chance. Finally, two being fell out of the portal, one was a Skrall while the other, a being that the Light Garaxial recognized. “A...Agarax?” asked the Light Garaxial, “You’re alive?” “Who are you?” asked Agarax, then his eyes widened. Then he shouted, “You’re…the spirit that I’ve been seeking! What are you doing here?” “Now’s not the time to ask,” said the Light Garaxial, “And who is that female being?” Belirax woke up and saw Sakari. She got up and came up to her, saying, “Princess. Are you alright?” “Belirax?” said Sakari, trying to recognize the stranger, “Right?” “Yes, I’m a friend of your mothers,” replied the female Skrall, “Your mother sent me here, though I’m not sure why…” But before she could finish, they all felt a shift. It felt like as if an earthquake struck them, but it also felt like as if something was torn apart. “What’s going on?” asked Syarix. “That time flow…that protected all of the worlds…” said the Light Garaxial, “It’s changing! Someone has changed the flow of time!” But before anyone could ask, the world around them grew incredibly bright…something in the universes has changed…but is it for the better…or for the worse?

Well then :blush: ...I've got more pictures...for this review...(more like a wasteland review) they'll be updated soon... :blush: and Chapter 16 is ready...anyone want an exclusive preview of chapter 17? Those are the final 2 chapters of the 1st book, then the 2nd book will start....

This is a bit of a spoiler to my epic...but it's best that I show this to all of you in order to get a visual of what's about to happen... This pic (I was inspired by Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle) is similar to Chapter 225, The Power to Believe. You might recognize this but I tweaked it...I liked how CLAMP drew that page...but there are some differences between mines and theirs... Turning Back The Hands of Time If you look closely, you'll recognize those "circles" that I posted earlier...oh and the message says "Turning Back The Hands of Time...To Keep Their Kingdom Safe". You'll learn what that phrase means when I post Chapters 16 and 17. After that, Book 2 begins...

Sorry, I was a bit nervous when I made this at first...but not to worry! I shall make them longer, I'll just simply update them...with more funny pics (as well as some serious ones...).... :laugh: I'll see what I can do...after all....I never run out of ideas.... BTW: Don't be surprised when my fanfic is about to go through a

What made you laugh? Was it Vastus' Guitar? Or the Skralla and Kiina fight??? :laugh: :laugh: I think I made this review the most hilarious of all....??

LOL! At least I'm not alone.... :laugh: :laugh: Could you please (if you're not busy) make a funny picture of Kiina and Skralla fighting?? That would be epic funny!!! :laugh: :laugh:

I know there are plenty of reviews...but I never had my own...so here it is!!! Reviews: *Mata Nui *Vastus *Kiina *Stronius Visitor: *Skralla (MOC) Part I: Mata Nui, (Skralla's Destined Love?) *I just got him last night, finally! I've had to travel to various worlds, er...I mean stores to claim MN. Skralla was crying for him for the last few months...and now...they're united.... Chains of Love... Skralla: At last....you're mine, Mata Nui! Mata Nui: O_o? The New 09 Ignika is alright...but *whistles*, that's one chibi mask/kanohi....his Scarab Shield is great, but it could have been more of a shield, than a pitchfork? (not really...) Blue eyes...epic, they make Skralla wanna stare at him...and is it just me...or do they have similar arms/hands (not color, but pieces wise...what a coincidence! But in my epics...coincidence does not exist...only the inevitable...) Anyway...here's a comparison between him and his "alternate self"???? Toa Ignika??? Mirror Ignika Mirror Ignika 2 *That is one chibi Ignika...compared to the 08 version.... EDIT: Here's a better view of our beloved character... Front Back Side As you can see, his arms are a bit too long but if you pose them correctly, they don't look as bad. I wish he was taller too...Skralla's taller than him! D: Oh well, sounds like the Titan MN Set is the only answer to that problem...but then that would make him WAY too big... MN Pieces and Parts There are some new pieces, though two of them, while new are in two different colors. (The Scarab Shield as well as his shoulder armor) The Ankle guards shake quite a bit which is very annoying...at least they didn't fall off yet =P Part II: Stronius Stronius: If he (Mata Nui) spends time with my sister (Skralla)...I SHALL KILL HIM! Stronius Oh dear, sounds like Stronius doesn't approve their relationship....but wait until Tuma finds out...then there will be a fight.... Anyway, his club is great! But I'm kinda disappointed that it was in pieces...I didn't expect it to be built...:/, but that's alright, I guess. His helmet is kinda weird but it's not as long as an average Skrall's. (or Skralla, that is) For some reason, I thought he was "fat", but it's just the armor that makes him look so bulky... EDIT: Here's a better look at this "Special Skrall" Front Back Side At last! Darker Red! I was worried, like everyone else that the Mata Red might be repeated...but this time...it's Metru Red...(or is it even darker than that?) But that club of his makes him a threat to all...don't you play baseball with this fellow...=P =P Stronius Pieces and Parts In terms of the pieces, I think they're great. Lots of new ones as well as some recolors. Those knee pads reminds me of Hewkii Mahri's Silver Knee Pads. I like this helmet better than the average Skrall warrior's cause it's not as long. I wonder if those knee pads make a good Spiked Mace for Toa Helryx? Or would you guys rather use silver? Part III: Vastus Vastus: This is not like Tesara....where am I? Vastus Ah...Vastus, now this one of my other favorite G'Legend (besides MN), his Venom Talon is perfect for any Toa Nidhiki's Scythe MOCs. The Snake Armor/helmet makes him almost look like a creature...kinda...but not as savage like a Vorox...but the only downside to me is that...The Inika armor is backwards!!!! O_o....weird....but I guess he could get away with that. And is it just me or could he use his staff as a guitar? EDIT: More Pictures of this Prime Glatorian of Tesara! Front Back Don't make him shoot you...or else you'll end up like Fero... I say, this G'Legend is very interesting...the armor on him makes him look like....an Elemental Lord? Nah...it's probably just an illusion. Anyway, at least him and Gresh are much better off than Lewa last year...that Toa had too much grey...and he's lucky....cause he has some ability (other than MN) to use some form of "power" via his Talon, paralyzing his enemies. That's something new... Vastus Pieces and Parts Part IV: Kiina Kiina: At last! My personal exit to get out of this blasted wasteland! Kiina Skralla (to herself): I will not allow her to take him....he's mine! Mata Nui is my love! Anyway, before they start to hit each other, Kiina is another decent set. Her custom torso is not bad...much better than an Av-Matoran/Agori body. And from the attitude in those Sneak Peaks, I think she wants to get her hands on MN....not good for Skralla... Anyway, her trident is nice, very thin and sleek. And those Manta Ray Armor makes her look like a creature from the sea...in a good way...hehe....at least.... EDIT: More Pictures of this "obsessed fan of MN" Glatorian Front Back Side I swear, Kiina is probably one of the best females out of all of other female characters. Very skinny, for sure. This custom torso, for once, is a good change. I never expected this to happen...but it did...cause this is the inevitable... Kiina Pieces and Parts I like the Manta Ray design for the shoulder, knee Armor, though the problem with that is if you want her to sleep, then you'll have to take it off or else, she'll be in the "air"??? I was kinda surprised when they used Blue and Silver on Kiina's Helmet, I thought that they would leave it solid, but then again Ackar, Berix, and a few other Glatorian/Agori do have some swirly colors...so I guess that it's fine... Part V: Other Pics Here's a small set of pics that I made. And wow...I just fell out of my chair when I took a snapshot of Kiina and Skralla fighting!!! LOL!!!! :laugh: He's Mine! Kiina: He's mine! You can't have him! Skralla: His love is only for me! He's mine! Mata Nui: ..................... Kiina: Do you really wanna fight? Skralla: If that's what it takes.... *fist fight* *okay, that picture is probably the stupidest one that I've ever took..... :laugh: :laugh: *10 Minutes Later* Part VI: My Final Thoughts... *Okay...to be honest, I think these guys are the best! Although they have Inika, armor and similar pieces, who cares? At least we're lucky that Kiina has a custom body! I mean, I understand we could use new pieces, but they...they're good for other MOCs... at least what matters is that we waited 8 years to figure out who exactly was MN...(though there were clues all of this time) and another year for MN to be a "Toa." I guess that having MN as a set was the price for us...if Teridax failed to take over the MU, we would never have MN in the first place. Compensation was needed in order to make this happen.... In other words: A Mata Nui set would exist, if only he was to be exiled....that's the trade off.... Anyway, the other characters, I enjoy them. Though I wished we had some more female characters cause Kiina is all by herself... (not counting Skralla) Hopefully, I'll try to get Ackar (so he could spend time with Kiina....=P don't ask why....) and Gelu to make the complete team! Scores.... Kiina: 9/10 (A bit too skinny?) Vastus: 9.25/10 (Could have proper armor?) Stronius: 9/10 (A Special Skrall in on the loose!) MN: 9.5/10 (They could have added some gold swirl, that would be interesting...and made a few centimeters taller...) Any picture requests??? Hope this review helped anyone's decisions!!

Review Story Chapter 15: Choosing a Destiny Flashback: 2,300 Years Ago Stronius, Branar, and a few other Skrall walked across the sands of the Wastelands. They were sent by Tuma to form and alliance with the Bone Hunters. With their aid, they’ll be able to forge a trading pact. “Those disgusting, barbaric thieves,” muttered Branar, “Why did Tuma want them?” “You know why,” said Stronius, “We have no alliances with the other tribes, not even our sisters, so this is the only choice.” “Hey, didn’t I just saw a flash of light?” asked another Skrall. “It’s probably just you,” snarled another Skrall. “Quiet!” snapped Stronius, “We are not far from a Vorox’s nest, if they hear us…” At first they heard the wind blowing on the sands. Suddenly, a portal opened. Stronius could feel his leg tangled. He tried to bend down but his body felt paralyzed. “Stronius!” shouted Branar, “Hang on!” “No…don’t!” shouted the elite Skrall, “Or else you’ll get pulled in! Stay together and keep your weapons at the ready! Do not hesitate and fight like you mean it!” Then Stronius disappeared into the portal. The dimensional gate closed, leaving the other Skrall helpless. “What happened to him?” asked one of the other Skrall. “This is bad…” muttered Branar, “We can’t tell Tuma or else he’ll feed us to the Spitik! Let’s take another way home so we can think of some excuse…even if he would allow such story.” *** Kotan World: The Sealed Darkness Dimension Stronius could feel his body dragged by some unknown force. It looked like as if the shadows were pulling him to someone. Sure enough, a dark, twisted being sat on a throne and looked at the Skrall. “Perfect…” muttered Garaxial, “This will do.” “Who are you?” asked Stronius, narrowing his eyes. “I am Garaxial,” said the stranger, “You are a test subject that I need to perform.” “I am a Skrall! I shall not be part of some rocket science of yours!” snapped Stronius. “Of course, you’re not just a Skrall, you’re Stronius…” replied Garaxial. He turned to Sarhax, Detex and Eajax and said, “Take him to the pool and make sure his body has been cloned. When that clone is ready, send him back to his land.” Then he turned to Agarax and said, “When this is done, imprison the original one inside a stasis. If he attempts to escape, kill him.” Stronius tried to struggle his way but the servants took him to a pool of some liquid. They used their shadow powers to throw him inside. Garaxial took out a vial and dumped a small drop into the pool. Suddenly, the waters churn and swirled around Stronius. The Skrall screamed in agony as if his body was torn apart, then back together and being ripped again. When it was finished, a clone Stronius stood next to him. The eyes were dark as there was no spirit inside. Garaxial took out another vial, and poured it on the clone’s head. “This vial shall start a plague, and it will sicken his kind and other innocent beings,” said Garaxial. Stronius tried to figure out what this stranger was doing to his other self, but before he could protest, the shadows once more dragged him away. Agarax prepared the stasis tube and shoved the Skrall inside. Activating the stasis, Stronius’ eyes began to close, falling into a slumber. Then something inside of him made him feel sick. I knew it, if only I should’ve watch my back, I would’ve never lost my body, but I’ll have to do something. This clone cannot affect the others…because of his dream, it must be stopped. Agarax took out a vial that he created. Making sure that the others weren’t watching, he poured it on top of the clone. Hopefully this will undo the plague, if not then it’s too late…he thought. “Is he ready yet?” asked Garaxial. “Yes,” said Agarax, “The other one is imprisoned.” “Good,” he replied, “Cause now is the time to send him home.” *** Present Time: Tasarta Country Sakari and Syarix opened their eyes and looked around. They were in a vast field of tall grasses and flowers. Nearby was a river that had a bridge to go across. “What is this place?” asked Sakari. “Not sure, but it looks peaceful,” answered Syarix. “Maybe that bridge could take us to a possible village,” replied Sakari, “Let’s go!” The two got up and ran across the bridge. Sure enough, they saw a small settlement ahead. “I wonder who lives here,” said Sakari, “It seems awfully quiet.” As the two got closer to the village, they heard voices. Then they heard a loud screech. “What was that?” asked Syarix, sword at the ready. “Not sure,” answered Sakari, putting on her cloak, “But I didn’t like the sound of that.” “Stay close with me,” replied Syarix, “I don’t want any of us to get hurt.” *** Avearx Palace “Are you crazy?” asked Beliarx, “Why would you want to do that?” “Because…I saw it,” said Skralla, “I have to do this. Mata Nui and I have agreed to sacrifice our powers to protect this kingdom as well as this planet.” “So…you want me to go with Agarax? To find Sakari?” replied Belirax. “Yes. In case if anything happens, you’ll be able to take care of them for some time,” answered Skralla, “Look. We’ve been good friends for the last 2,000 years. We helped each other solve our problems, you helped me save Bara Magna from Skrall’s domination plans, helped me sending the Rock Tribe to safety during the plague and brining everyone together after “The Fusion.” Now, I’ll help you in return to keep this world safe.” “But Skralla, if you do this…” said Belirax. “I swear,” she replied, “Mata Nui and I will find a way to prevent the darkness from coming. I swear in all of my abilities. Now go and find Agarax and meet Brutaka. He’ll send you guys to the location of Sakari.” *** “Are you still willing to do this?” asked Mata Nui. “I suppose so,” answered Agarax, “But don’t you think this is crazy. If something goes wrong in this universe…” “I’d rather die saving my world than surrendering to that man’s dream,” said Mata Nui, “Now let’s go and find Skralla and Belirax. Hopefully Brutaka is ready to send you guys out of here. With luck, you might find Sakari in no time. When you do, keep her safe and tell her what she has to do.” Then the two saw Skralla and Belirax approaching to them. Mata Nui asked, “Does she understand our plan?” “Yes,” said Skralla, “I’ve sent a message to Brutaka. He’ll be here soon to send them away.” “I’ll do anything to keep your daughter safe,” said Belirax, “But I hope this kingdom will be alright when this is all over.” “Don’t worry,” said Mata Nui, “When the time comes, Sakari will be able to return to this world and with luck, she’ll save us all.” Tasarta Country Sakari and Syarix arrived at a desolated hut. It seemed awfully familiar to the one Syarix had in Mezai Country, but the design was different. Then the door opened and a small voice said, “If you are the ones…come in…” “Is anyone home?” asked Sakari as she took a step inside. “Ah…so it is you,” said the stranger. “Do you know us?” asked Syarix, sword at the ready. For some reason, he couldn’t see anyone. “I do…in fact, a received a message from a friend of mine about your arrival,” replied the stranger. Before they could react, the door slammed shut and the lights turned on. A shadowy figure stood, its back turned to them. Then the figure turned and took of its hood. Its head was as bright as the stars. Wisps of light energy steamed from its hands. “Who are you exactly?” asked Syarix. “You can call me, Garaxial,” came the reply.

Review Story Chapter 14: The Battle of Kenax City Sehrox, the enemy of Aeran was busy at the moment. He was gathered the last of his surviving men and said, “Go find Aeran, and take him to me. If you find those new comers, slay them, for they are only intruders from the outside world.” As soon as his men left, he sat down and thought to himself. Aeran grew stronger and stronger every time I see him. At first, I though he was just another weakling, but now…he’s about to overthrow me and I won’t let that happen…sure that his power is that of mines, but I’ll make sure that he’s defeated before he even takes another breath. *** “Is this everyone?” asked Syarix. Aeran looked at his teammates and said, “This should be most of them. Some of my members were killed during the fight. Perhaps with you and Sakari could make an edge of this battle and might help me defeat Sehrox and his men. “What should we do?” asked Sakari. “My men and I will go first,” replied Aeran, “When we start to fall, I’ll summon you guys for our aid.” Two of Aeran’s men returned the Cloak and the Ebon Sword to Sakari and Syarix. “When will he strike?” asked Syarix. “Sehrox likes to fight at night, usually, and that’s illegal most of the time. But since I’m here to stop him, the time of the day doesn’t matter,” answered Aeran. *** Chamber of Prophecies, Temple of the Ancestors Mata Nui walked silently through the dark halls of the temple, carrying the Vahi with him this time. He knew that there was something down there that he had to find. I’ll do whatever it takes to get our daughter back, he thought. He arrived in the chamber once more, but this time he saw something on the walls. He took a closer look at it. He read it again and again and still was confused on this discovery… Time flows in one path…but according to this, it says that it can flow in all directions! How could the past and future combine together? Then he realized the answer, it was something that would change Averax Magna forever…and if he and Skralla were to do this mission, it could result an endless cycle from the past up to when? Whatever it is…I think something bad is about to happen…and it’s coming very soon…he thought. He turned and left, heading towards the palace. He had to warn Skralla about this. “Skralla’s 2nd Future Seeing” Skralla saw the Shadow Entities, sent by Garaxial to invade the kingdoms. Then she saw herself talking to Sakari about something (though she couldn’t tell what she was saying) and later she saw Mata Nui and herself, sacrificing the last of their power, to allow the Vahi halting the time in the dimension. Then the time began to wound back slowly as the planet of Spherus Magna disappeared from the current time. She also saw a being exposing inside a pool of energized protodermis, gaining the power to cross dimensions. Who is that being, she thought, I don’t recall anyone that stranger before… Then the image changed around her as she saw Sakari and Syarix trapped in the reflections again. Could this be the answer to undo this time shattering? Was all of this going through a cycle? Does this mean that Spherus Magna would go back to the beginning of time? I must tell Mata Nui…she thought, but what if he saw the exact same dream? Mata Nui arrived in the Grand Bedroom. He saw Skralla shaking her head as if she was in another dream. “Is everything alright?” he asked. “I saw it…our kingdom is in grave danger…” said Skralla, “That man will try to attack us very soon. We must act!” “But how? We can’t evacuate everyone in time…” replied Mata Nui. “That’s why I’m picking a small team to leave here. Maybe with luck, they’ll be able to solve this problem…” answered Skralla. *** Fortress of the GBs Ackar, Tahu and the others waited impatiently. For the last few hours, they were waiting for the Great Beings to activate a portal. “Is something wrong?” asked one of the Great Beings. “Yes. We have to cancel this,” said the other GB, “Go tell the Toa and Glatorian to return to their village.” After learning about what happened, Tahu asked, “Shouldn’t we just find Brutaka?” “No,” said the Great Being, “It’s best if you stay in this world. Go tell Mata Nui and Skralla about this, perhaps they’ll make an arrangement for you guys to travel.” Tahu wanted to argue but he knew better to keep his mouth quite in front of these Great Beings. He didn’t want to know what would happen if he were to object. “Let’s go,” he said to the others, “We have to hurry.” *** Kenax City Aeran dodged another attack from Sehrox’s Sword. Aeran blocked the blow with his Sword of Light. He activated a light blast and sent his enemy across the streets. Sehrox crashed into the wall, but it didn’t stun him. Syarix knocked down a few of Sehrox’s men with his Ebon Master Sword. As for Sakari, she used her necklace to fire various blasts, knocking some more enemies down. Luckily, the cloak was able to amplify her powers. Then one of Sehrox’s men snuck behind her, but Syarix saw the attack from the corner of his eye. He turned and struck a fatal blow at the attacker. He held Sakari’s hand and said, “Hold my hand. Perhaps our combined powers will make us stronger.” Sehrox struck again with his Black Shadow Cutlass but Aeran used his sword once more to increase the brightness, blinding Sehrox. “I see you have improved…” said Sehrox, “But even as you get stronger, I also gain strength as well.” Sehrox took this chance to attack Aeran, knocking him down. “Aeran!” shouted Syarix, but some of Sehrox’s men surrounded him and Sakari. “Syarix, what should we do?” asked Sakari, nervously. “Close your eyes, I’m about to unleash my strongest power,” said Syarix. As soon a Sakari covered her eyes, Syarix shouted, “Lord of Lightning, come to my aid!” The Ebon Sword grew bright, blinding Sehrox’s men. Then bolts of electricity exploded all over, striking the men dead on. When it was clear, Sakari opened her eyes and said, “There’s Aeran. Is he alright?” Sehrox placed his foot on top of Aeran’s head. He was about to crush him when Syarix appeared in front of him. “So…you’re the newcomer,” muttered Sehrox. “Yes…and your reign is about to end,” said Syarix. Sehrox laughed darkly and replied, “Just how are you going to defeat me? Not even Aeran can stop me…” Syarix ignored him and called upon his lightning attack again. Once more, the electric bolts struck Sehrox, stunning him. “That attack was quite powerful…” said Sehrox, “But watch what I can do…” He waved his hand in the air, suddenly his men were killing Aeran’s troops with ease. At first, Sehrox thought that this battle would be his victory, but suddenly, he saw a bright light coming from somewhere. Syarix turned to see Sakari activating the necklace and the cloak. Waves of light radiation overwhelmed Sehrox. Then his body began to melt, and exploded. In a split second, Sehrox was gone, not even a single skin cell was present to show his death. Then, Sehrox’s men disappeared as well, as Kenax City finally returned to its peaceful age. Aeran slowly got up and looked around. Then he asked, “What happened?” “They’re no more. The city is free,” said Syarix, “All thanks to Sakari…” “I don’t know how I did that…I didn’t learn enough of my powers to defeat such enemies,” replied Sakari. “That doesn’t matter,” said Aeran, “All it matters is that Kenax City is free from Sehrox. Now at last, we can celebrate our newly golden age.” Next Morning… “I thank you again,” said Aeran, “For saving our city.” “Oh that was nothing,” said Syarix. “But without your help, we would’ve never had our peace back,” said Arikai. Sakari took out the compass. Sure enough, it was glowing; a sign that a favor was fulfilled. “I guess it’s time for us to leave,” replied Sakari. “Thank you again,” said Aeran, “We’ll pray for your travels.” “Be safe,” replied Arikai. Sakari and Syarix disappeared into the void as they once again travel between dimensions, heading to the next world.

Review Story Chapter 13: Answers to Questions… Kotan World (The Sealed Darkness Dimension) “So he’s about to face a battle?” asked Sarhax. “Yes. If he fails, then we can strike and get the princess. We’ll be able to place the Imprint of Chaos on there. If he succeeds, however, then getting them won’t be as easy,” replied Garaxial. “What about Sakari’s parents. Now they’re able to talk to Sakari whenever she and her mother sleep. Should we just trap them?” asked Sarhax. “No…I’ve got a better idea…when they were looking for that precious necklace of theirs, they encountered a dangerous Toa who killed one of their kind. Little did we know that it was one of my creations, a clone that died…I didn’t know where the real one was at either. But if we can convince that one toa…maybe we can use her as a pawn to attack them. But there’s a problem for that as well, this Toa will do anything to rebel against anyone, even us, perhaps, if we’re not convincing…” he explained. “Well then, if this Toa agrees, will we gain an alliance?” she asked. “Most likely, after all, she has something that we have in common; hatred…” he answered, “With that, she’ll be able to kill the mother, and that father as well.” *** The Avaron Syarix and Sakari silently drew closer towards the other side of the bridge. Syarix kept his sword out while Sakari held his free hand tightly. Out of the shadows came Aeran and two of his men. Syarix took a harder grip on his sword but Aeran said, “You won’t need that for now.” “I would, but I’ll still take grip and keep ourselves safe,” replied Syarix. Aeran chuckled and said, “Such courage you have there, protecting yourself and the princess of course. Now put away that sword.” Sakari could sense something dark about this man, she whispered to Syarix, “Don’t listen.” No sooner when she said that, she was repelled across the bridge. Before she hit the wall, her cloak teleported her, reappearing right by Syarix as if nothing happened. Amazing, she thought, this cloak seems to know my problems as if… “Listen, we don’t want to fight here,” said Aeran, “This area of The Avaron was one of the first places to be built.” “If you’re so famous, then why are you acting as if you’re a threat?” snapped Sakari. “I’m not,” replied Aeran, “I can get frustrated easily. And when that happens…” He raised his hand towards them. Then the cloak and the sword flew away from them, falling into the hands of the two other men. “Go take these in a safe place,” said Aeran, “Where it cannot be reached…” Then he turned to them and said, “Come with me. You’ll understand about why I wanted you here as we walk.” *** Averax Palace “Is this even a good idea?” asked Skralla. She and Mata Nui looked at the Vahi. Sure they knew that it was powerful indeed but if it gets misused, the outcome would be unpredictable. “This mask and my Ignika are the ones what keep this universe and its entire people, alive. Destroy either of these and then the universe would go through a dangerous situation, one that might never be repaired,” said Mata Nui. “But what exactly do you want to do with it?” she asked. “I…I don’t know,” he said, “But I’m going back to that temple tonight and see if there’s something about these masks. Maybe there might be another event that’s coming…one that we don’t expect.” “You don’t suppose that the dream that Gaaki saw…” she began. “If it is, then I don’t think we have any other choice. We can’t let that man get his wish…” he replied. *** Flashback: 75,000 Years Ago Unknown World “Where is he?” snapped Sarhax as she tried to choke him. “I…have no clue who you’re talking about…” said the stranger. “I know you had something with him…with Agarax,” hissed Sarhax. “I seriously don’t know who you’re talking about!” “Then pay that with your life,” she snarled, “Tell me where Agarax is at! Perhaps I’ll let you live to see another day…” “He…He…left. He escaped to another dimension, I don’t know where but I saw him disappearing,” answered the stranger. Sarhax threw the informant and turned to Detex and Eajax and said, “He’s gone, as what this man says. Let’s go and head to the next world.” The three closed their eyes and concentrated their power to cross dimensions. After they were converted to the shadows, they somehow contained power to travel worlds. *** Kotan World: “The Sealed Darkness Dimension” Garaxial scribbled the writings in another book. For the last several thousands of years, he sent his servants to gather information about other worlds. So far, he found at least 50 different places, including Bara Magna, Mata Nui’s Matoran Universe, as well as the Red Star. Tonight, he was writing some secret information about some futuristic event that would change Bara Magna forever. Though he didn’t knew exactly what it was, he knew that he could use some of the inhabitants there to make them his slaves. I could make them slaves…but that might draw attention to their kind…maybe I’ll make clones of them, that should do just fine…they won’t tell the difference… It would take a while for him on how to make a clone but he knew that it was the only way on how to possibly conquer Bara Magna some day, once he gains enough knowledge and power. Better yet, from what Sarhax said, they’re not immune to plagues; perhaps I’ll send them a gift, one that would destroy their lives unless they turn to me as their master… *** Present Time: The Avaron Sakari, Syarix, led by Aeran walked across several hallways and stairs, staying silent. “Well?” asked Aeran, “Do you want something to eat? There’s a café not far from here.” Sakari turned to Syarix who nodded and then said, “Yes. That’s fine, but we would like some answers here. What happened yesterday?” “There was this bully; the other team leader who I was fighting with. He was harassing those two children who you saved. I tried to tell him to leave them alone, but he wouldn’t listen. This bully likes to fight those who have no powers to fight or those who are too cheap. Thankfully, he’s afraid of me so he has some weakness himself,” explained Aeran, “I tried to use my powers to knock him down, but he deflected them and sent them towards a building that nearly killed the innocent ones, that is until you saved them…” “Was he an enemy of yours as well?” asked Sakari. “Yes,” replied Aeran, “In fact he used to bully me all the time, that is, until I grew old enough to fight. I took a test and got a fighting license so I could be able to fight in the streets. That’s why I can get stressful easily, because I don’t want anymore lives killed. Eventually he stopped harassing me when I managed to trap him, though he eventually escaped.” “Did he kill anyone?” asked Syarix. “No…but even as the police tried to stop him, he overwhelmed them. That’s why I wanted you here, Syarix; to help me defeat him. And you Sakari, you seemed to have some powers as well. We should try to work together to stop him…” said Aeran, “I’ll send my men to give you back your weapons. You’ll definitely need them when we face that man…because he’s also powerful…and dangerous…”

Review Story Chapter 12: The Afternoon Meeting Sakari’s Third Dream Sakari woke up and realized that she had return to the world of dreams. She saw her mother like always but this time, she saw several other strangers. “Welcome back, daughter,” said Skralla, “The people behind me are the ones who live in our kingdom.” “Is father here?” asked Sakari, “I would like to see him.” Skralla moved out of the way as Mata Nui slowly walked towards Sakari. “It is good to see you,” he said, “Your mother and I have prayed for your travels. Where are you now?” “I’m in a place called Kenax City, there’s been nothing but a lot of fights. My new friend, Syarix got caught in between, but he’s alright. I’m sure he’ll be okay when this is all over.” Skralla realized that she met this “Syarix”, as she recalled the dream. She tried her best to show no sign of fear but simply smiled and replied, “Stay with your friend. Hopefully you’ll make more friends along the way…” “I promise, mother,” said Sakari, “And who are the others?” “These are my friends too,” replied Skralla, “Belirax, Vakama, and Dume.” “Nice to meet you,” said Belirax. “It’s an honor to meet you, princess,” said Vakama. Sakari smiled and asked, “What’s going on in the kingdom, mother?” “Nothing much, just trying to keep the world in peace, we’re preparing your return so we can celebrate together. We sent a fellowship of ours to find you, but I don’t know if the Great Beings will send them. If not, then I’ll talk to your new friends in your current location,” said Skralla. *** Kenax City “Is that everything?” asked Arikai, “I hope you won’t get badly injured.” “I’ll be fine,” said Syarix, “Just make sure that Sakari is safe.” “I’m going with you,” said Sakari. She tried her best to keep herself awake after her recent dream, but Syarix said, “Don’t worry. I won’t be gone for long.” “But still…” replied Sakari, “I don’t want to lose you…more yet, I do have something to tell you.” “What is it?” asked Syarix. “Well, I can’t say it out loud…but Syarix…I…I…” she began. Suddenly, a loud bell rang from the towers in the city. “Hurry,” said Arikai, “That’s the warning bell that’s used in the Avaron. You must go.” Syarix turned and ran. Arikai tried to protest Sakari from going but the princess ran, keeping her distance from Syarix. I might not be as strong as you, Syarix, she thought, but I sense something bad that’s about to happen…that’s why I want to be with you. Flashback: 85,500 Years Ago… Kotan World Kan turned to one of his servants and said, “Go warn the villages! Send them away from this place as far away as you can!” “That’s impossible,” said Garaxial, “As I become the shadows, I control this kingdom’s fate. They will be unable to escape. As for you, your life is no longer needed.” The Shadow Entities lashed out, trying to kill Kan, but the ruler barely dodged in time. “Your talents are proved useful,” hissed Garaxial, “But…your life is nothing…” Once more, the shadow beings attacked, this time knocking Kan down. A massive swirl of shadows surrounded the king. “I would kill you…but since I don’t know how to use my newfound powers…I’ll just have to exile you,” said Garaxial. He raised his hand, allowing the shadow entities to banish him. Kan tried to use the last of his power but he could feel his body disappearing. He screamed in rage as the shadows began to spread outside of the fortress… *** Kotan World, once a world of light has fallen into a sealed, perhaps permanent darkness… The Shadow Entities continued to spread, transforming all of the villagers into shadow slaves. Their minds have brainwashed, thus all of their memories of the past were wiped away. They all had only one thing in their minds; to work and serve the darkness. But if anyone could hear what Kan said, one phrase could mean possible salvation in the future… They all know the true meaning of love, tragedy, and change …you keep it within your heart…not in your sword…and even if you change them, they will survive… *** “Now then,” began Garaxial, “Shall we continue our works?” The shadows nodded and dragged Sarhax, Eajax, and Detex to him. “You three are needed. The works in this country must continue. Each of you must gather knowledge from other worlds. If any of you run into Agarax, take him to me…for he’s the one who escaped,” ordered Garaxial. *** Dimensional Space Agarax flew across the void, heading towards the next world. He barely escaped a series of shadows that were attacking him. The last thing he saw was several villagers transforming into a twisted, darker version of themselves. I cannot allow this to affect me…I have to find those “prophesized beings”. Maybe they can help me restore this world and help mines… For a moment, he wanted to return to his world and see what happened, but he feared that he could run into greater problems. After making a decision, he decided to go to a new world, hoping that it would bring him some time to think and to make a choice… *** Present Time… “The Avaron” Syarix walked across the hallways. He was accompanied by three of the fighters that he saw yesterday. Some of them seemed as if they wanted to fight him while the others were concerned on what Aeran wanted to do. “He’s waiting at the other side of this bridge,” said one of the fighters, “Take a left and go straight across. Whatever he plans to do, just listen to him, but be careful.” Nodding, Syarix took out his sword, and walked cautiously. From his practice, he learned that charging might spring a trap. Whatever it is…I cannot let Sakari suffer. She worries about me a lot…and so do I… But before he could finish, he heard someone running. He was turned and readied his sword, but realized that it was Sakari, wearing her new cloak. “I’m going with you,” she said, “I might not be as strong, but my powers will help us.” At first Syarix wanted to yell at her, but smiled and said, “Alright. But stay close with me. I don’t want you to get hurt.” *** At the other side of the bridge, Aeran and two of his teammates waited. They expected Syarix to come but none of them knew that he was with another companion. “Shall we?” asked one of the fighters, “And what about the girl?” “Very well, it’s time to welcome them. And I see that he brought a friend over too…” muttered Aeran, “This will be interesting indeed…”

Review Story Chapter 11: A New Opponent Kenax City “Tell me your name,” said the stranger. “Syarix,” “My name is Aeran,” answered the stranger, “And it appears that your sword is indeed powerful. You managed to save those two innocent children that I didn’t see.” “Aeran!” shouted one of his teammates, “The troops are coming and we have a problem at our headquarters!” “Oh well,” he muttered, “Well then, I guess you and I will have to fight later. See you then, meet us at the Avaron tomorrow afternoon.” Then he turned and left, joining with his teammates and disappeared. Syarix gasped, he forgot Sakari but there was no need to search for her. She saw her with another stranger. “Sakari!” said Syarix, “Are you alright?” “I’m fine. But what happened back there?” she asked. “Some stranger named Aeran told me to meet him tomorrow at the Avaron,” replied Syarix. “But he’s too powerful,” said the female being, “But come on, I’ll take you to my place.” *** Averax Palace Mata Nui silently walked up the stairs, heading towards a secret vault. Only he and Skralla know where it is and what was inside. Special artifacts were kept in there as well as some important information. Today, he was worried if the Vahi would affect these inanimate objects. Then maybe I shouldn’t put it there, he thought, unless… “Mata Nui!” shouted Skralla, as he ran upstairs towards him. “What’s wrong?” he asked. “Agarax found the current location of Sakari. You want to see?” “Where is he now?” asked Mata Nui. “He’s at the Coliseum with the turaga. Dume allowed him to use some device of his in order to locate her,” she explained, “Come on! You have to see this!” *** Shores of Aqua Magna “I ask, where are they?” asked Miserix. “I haven’t seen them for a while,” said Takanuva, “After all, I only work there when the others are busy.” “But did you hear what happened?” asked the Makuta. “Yes, and I heard that Agarax is trying to help them. I heard rumors that he’s at the coliseum. Perhaps that’s where they’re at…maybe,” answered the toa. “That’s perfect,” said the Makuta, “That’s all I need to know. I need to find them.” Before the toa could protest, Miserix grew back his wings and flew towards Averax Magna. What’s been going on with him, thought Takanuva, sure that he didn’t turn as dark as the others, but even I can’t trust him. *** Throne Room, Coliseum The seven Turaga, Mata Nui, Skralla, and Belirax waited for the last half hour. Agarax was trying to extract the powers from his travel staff, manipulate it with a small sample of protodermis to create a projection. It was a risky one because the extract from the Travel Staff had a dangerous reactant with water or liquid protodermis. “Anything yet?” asked Belirax. “I think I got something,” replied Agarax, “But the signal is very statically since they’re in another world. Perhaps you, Skralla, could try to go into the Dream World and see if Sakari is available.” *** “So is this your home?” asked Sakari. “Yes, my name is Arikai,” said the female stranger, “I believe that you were sent by a friend of mine, Elia, right?” “You know her?” asked Syarix. “Yes. Even though we live in different worlds, I talk to her now and then,” explained Arikai. “Is there anyone else that lives her?” asked Sakari. “Yes, my son and my niece live here also. My niece lost her mother when she was younger, died from a plague or something,” replied Arikai, “Which by the way, they should be home soon…” “Mother! We’re back!” shouted Serax, “Sorry if we’re a tad late!” “Aunty? Who are those people? I’ve never seen such clothing?” asked Sahra. “These people are the ones who Elia told me about,” replied Arikai, “They’re on a journey right now, but we’ll have them stay for some time.” That man who I spoken too seemed awfully familiar but how..., thought Syarix. “Is something wrong?” asked Arikai, “You seemed troubled…” “It’s a long story,” answered Syarix, “I’ll explain when once we finish settling here.” *** Flashback: 85,500 Years Ago… Kotan World “Is it done yet?” asked Garaxial. “No, not yet,” replied Agarax, “We need to make sure that the seat is stabled in order to not cause any problems here.” Agarax, though a traveler, was convinced to stay for a while. Though he wasn’t much of a scientist himself, he was willing to try something new after traveling for hundreds of years, but he kept this Travel Staff at the ready in case of a situation. Garaxial placed a few metallic bars together, and then used a heated torch to fuse them. This wasn’t an easy task, since he wanted to create some form of time traveling device. His project was to build a “Time Chair” for unknown reasons. But the truth was, that he wanted to get back to Spherus Magna (but little does he know about “The Shattering”), and to ask forgiveness to the Great Beings, hoping that he could resume his works. He remembered well when one of the Great Beings desired power and touched the Ignika. In fact he was one of the beings who were forced to lock him away. “Now?” he asked. “Yes,” answered Agarax, “Sarhax and the others have prepared the pedestal so we can insert the seat on top…” *** After a few hours of hard labor, the project was completed. Garaxial was willing to try out the “Time Chair”, though Sarhax and the others wanted to go first. “This was my idea. Don’t worry, with this, I’ll be able to go back and forth, so you guys will get a turn,” he said. With that said, he took a seat and threw the switch. Bolts of electricity and light swirled around the chair. At first it seemed to work when suddenly, an electrical bolt struck him. Garaxial was thrown from the seat and landed on the floor. Then he felt agony in his body as if something was tearing apart from him. “What is that?” asked Sarhax, pointing at some steam that was leaving Garaxial’s body. Little did they know that it was Garaxial’s Soul of Light, all of the goodness in him was vanishing. It was trying to fight back at the Soul of Shadow, but the darkness struck back, forcing the Light Soul to flee. Suddenly, Agarax’s Staff inevitably glowed, creating a portal for the soul to escape. With only half of the soul remaining, Garaxial would never be the same, unless if the Soul of Light were to return to his body of shadows… Garaxial woke up and asked, “What happened? Why do I feel as if I’m about to die here?” Sarhax came up to him and said, “Whatever it was, we’ll send Agarax to go find it. Better yet, we’d better ask Kan, he might know.” *** “This is no good,” said Kan after he removed his hand from Garaxial’s head, “His Soul has divided in half, leaving him nothing but the shadow inside. His light had vanished, but it’s not completely gone. The last of it inside of him will disappear once he fully loses his light.” “Is there something we can do?” asked Sarhax. “I’m afraid not. Even if Agarax recovers that Soul, Garaxial will never be the same if he were to obtain it once more…” But before he could finish, Garaxial’s body began to change, slowly, but surely, it seemed as if he was melting, but he wasn’t. His body was turning into the darkness itself, the form that he currently still has. “We have to get out of here!” snapped Kan, “Once this transformation is complete, he’ll try to kill us all!” “There’s no need to…” hissed the newly changed Garaxial. His newly formed body soared up towards the ceiling. He looked down and said, “With this power, this world shall be mine!” Shadow Bolts flew from him, striking Sarhax. Sure enough, her body began to somewhat change into a similar state. Kan barely missed that as he tried to send his fellows to warn the villages… *** Kenax City “Is everything alright?” asked Sakari, “You seemed nervous.” “I was told by that one stranger to meet him at some place called the Avaron. I might have to fight him or something.” “Was it Aeran?” asked Arikai, “He’s a well know fighter indeed, but I don’t know what he wants from you. He never challenges a stranger if he were to even battle.” “But seriously, I don't understand how there's fighting everyday,” said Sakari. “Here in Kenax, there’s dozens of matches that go on everyday. Some take place in stadiums while other takes place in streets. It’s usually illegal to fight in the streets, but if you have a special license, then you’re somewhat allowed, but have strict restrictions as well,” explained Arikai, “I think it’s getting late. You guys might want to get some sleep; I’ll leave you two alone. I have to check Serax and Sahra if they’re sleeping yet.” Syarix turned to see Sakari sleeping. He wanted to confess his love to her but realized that he was tired as well. I’ll tell her…he thought, and hopefully she’ll feel the same way…

This explains about my mood yesterday...rage/sadness....don't ask what happened.... I've always wanted to make this scene between MN and S (based from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle) and it looks terrible... MN Skralla trapped... perhaps forever??? (This is a bit of a spoiler, maybe... in terms of my epic...)

That's the problem w/ the main storyline...love cannot exist....(though the BM citizens are more human like...:/) because of that 8-12 age thingy... Well then, these two pics are my first computer art....finally! They're based from Cardcaptor Sakura, xxxHolic, and Tsubasa: RC, (for those that know it) those magic circles... Sorry that they're huge! (I needed them big for another website...) MN Ignika Circle Skralla Circle Hopefully I might make a better version of these but this is what I could do...

My artwork response to that "Kiina" supermodel....(that is funny! XD) (Yes I can draw but only once in a while) Kiina x Ackar LOL! Raanu (and Berix) are going to get very angry if they see them like this... XD (I should have drawn them kissing...maybe next time...) I know that Ackar looks younger but I did that on purpose...;) Edit: Okay, I think they have this love/hate relationship. Read comic 3 if you don't get it...particularly their practice match...read what they say...

Review Story Chapter 10: A World of Battles Throne Room, Coliseum “Well,” said Belirax, “Do you have it?” “It’s right here,” said Vakama, handing the Vahi inside a small bag. “Here, this is our payment,” said the female Skrall, handing the turaga several widgets, “Sorry to trouble you, but this situation is quite critical, we have to keep this world safe.” “Be careful now,” said the turaga, “Even though Mata Nui is strong, the Vahi itself will eventually overpower him if he’s not careful.” “Is something wrong?” asked the Skrall. “It’s nothing, I just remember the day when I made that mask…” “You made this mask?” she asked, puzzled. “It’s a long story, but yes. I created this with special kanoka disks. But for now, send this to him right away,” he answered. *** Averax Palace I hope everything’s alright with the deal, thought Mata Nui, the turaga think that I’m crazy, but if we told them what he saw, they’ll never agree… Then the door opened, revealing the Skrall carrying a bag. “Is it in there?” asked Mata Nui. “Yes,” said Belirax, “Is Skralla here?” “Yeah, she’s upstairs. You want to see her?” “Sure, seeing that I’m here. Take this and do what has to be done,” said the Skrall. Mata Nui took the bag. Sure enough the Vahi was inside as the mask glowed dimly. *** Grand Bedroom Skralla sat on the bed, pondering the words from last night. If what Mata Nui said was true, then life in this world might come to an end shortly. But she wondered if it was because of her daughter’s absence. Something is not right…at all,she thought. Then she heard someone knocking at the door. “Who is it?” she called out. “It’s me, Belirax,” came the reply. Skralla went up to the door and opened and said, “What brings you here?” “Is everything alright?” asked the other Skrall, “Mata Nui seems a bit nervous about something…” “It’s nothing” lied Skralla, “He’s probably worried about Sakari as much as I am. I’ll try to talk to her again tonight in the dreams.” “What do you mean, it’s nothing? Skralla, we’ve been friends for years. Remember how I saved you? You can tell me anything and I swear that I won’t say a word.” Skralla sighed, she knew that Belirax was right. Over 2,000 years ago, when the “Sisters of the Skrall” was still active, Belirax (though wasn’t granted her name) saved her from a Sand Bat’s attack and brought her to the Maze Village. There, the planned to go on a strike and demanded rights to the other Skrall. They won and were granted to live in the village of Roxtus, thus their organization ended. “Alright,” said Skralla finally, “But you must, must, keep this quite for sure. You see, Mata Nui saw a dream…one that was almost exactly like mines, but was different.” *** Mezai Country Sakari woke up and turned to see Syarix standing. “Morning, princess,” he said. Sakari smiled and asked, “Did you sleep?” “A little,” he said, “I’ve been watching.” “Why did you have to do that?” “Remember? The storm?” “Oh, I must have forgotten. To me, it felt like as if I was in my kingdom,” replied Sakari. “Elia says that we have to move on,” said Syarix, “She’ll send us to the next world, so you don’t have to use your compass.” When they went downstairs, they saw Elia carrying a gigantic staff. She turned to them and said, “Are you ready to go?” “Yes,” said Sakari, “Thanks again for this cloak.” “No problem,” said Elia, “Use it when you feel threatened, it’ll guide you and protect you.” Then she raised the staff, calling forth on its dimensional powers. Then the world changed in front of Sakari and Syarix. “I wish you the best on your journey!” replied Elia as they disappeared. *** Flashback: 95,000 Years Ago Kotan World Garaxial, Sarhax, Eajax, and Detex passed supplies around, preparing another day’s work. “Is the liquid ready yet?” asked Garaxial. “In a little bit,” replied Sarhax, “Should we add the powder in yet?” “No, just wait,” answered Garaxial, “It’s best when the liquid reaches its boiling point. That’s when the reaction will work its best.” “Garaxial, what about the extract?” asked Eajax “That comes last,” he answered, “The liquid must react and cool down before putting that in.” Today, they were working on making some form of metal using some form of metal by using some metallic protodermis combined with some liquid, making a shock absorber suit. Their goal was to at least have the liquid prepared for now and then combine it with bits of the protodermis. “How do you even make such substance? That protodermis?” asked Detex. “Where I came from, it’s very simple, just synthesize the energized version, extract it with this pipe, and mix it with another liquid, such as sea water. To make it metallic, just add any form of metal and there you have it,” explained Garaxial, “I often used this method when I used to make weapons.” *** Outside… It had been at least 2 hours, since Agarax crashed landed in Kotan World. He has been on a long journey visiting various worlds. Today, this one seemed to be a peaceful place. Some of the places he went were locked in battles, or sudden inevitable changes. I wonder what this place is here, he thought. As he looked around, he could tell that his place was a bit technological advance. As he arrived in a village, he could hear several citizens talking about some scientist making some specialized armor. And I’ve never heard such name…he thought, Garaxial…what an interesting name…for a scientist. Should I even bother pay a visit? Agarax arrived at the fortress of Kan. There was no bell or something that would signalize his presence but he found out that it wasn’t necessary. The gate opened, allowing him to enter. Maybe I can spend some time here, he thought, I’ve been traveling a lot, so maybe I can rest for a day or two… As he went inside, he saw the ruler talking to someone. It took a few minutes to figure out that it was Garaxial himself talking to Kan. “Um…hello? Is this a bad time?” he asked. Kan turned and saw Agarax standing by the door. Then he said, “No, come one in! It’s great to meet new people from another world…” “How did you know?” asked Agarax. “Even though you’re not from here, I can sense power that anyone uses,” said Kan, “This is Garaxial, the famous scientist in this kingdom.” “It’s a pleasure,” said Agarax. “Indeed,” answered Garaxial, “Sounds like you’ve been traveling a lot.” “Oh that’s nothing,” replied Agarax, “I’ll probably just stay for a day or two, and then I’ll just move on.” “What’s the rush?” asked Kan, “You’re more than welcome to stay here.” *** Present Time… Kenax City Syarix woke up and checked Sakari. She was awake, but tired. “We are in the next world…” said Syarix, “Are you okay? You seemed a bit tired?” “I’m fine,” replied Sakari, “What is this place?” The world around them was full of gigantic towers, filled with flying vehicles. “Sounds like this place is quite busy,” answered Syarix, “Come on, maybe we can find someone that can allow us to stay.” The two walked for some time when they heard a series of cries. They turned to see a crowd watching some form of fighting. “What’s going on?” muttered Syarix. The two turned and saw a team of fighters combating. It seemed that one team was beating the other side with ease but the defending team fired a stunning blast that caused them to be thrown across the streets. The other team retaliated with a gigantic lightning blast. Then suddenly, one of the electric strikes caused a building to collapse. “Watch out!” shouted Syarix. He saw some of the rubble falling towards two smaller beings. He ran towards them, taking out his sword. As he dove towards them, a force field appeared, turning the falling rubble into dust. When it was over, Syarix and the two smaller beings took a breath of relief. “You seemed to have a powerful sword, do you?” asked a voice. Syarix turned and saw one of the leaders looking at him. Who is this being, he thought.

Review Story Chapter 9: New Opportunities, Fierce Fights Elia’s Shop, Mezai Country “Is something wrong?” asked Elia “Oh no,” said Sakari, “It’s nothing. I’m just tired though.” “You and Syarix can stay here for the night; it’s too dangerous outside now. The shadows might flow by,” answered Elia, “You can sleep upstairs. The steps are by the bookcase.” “Should I stay down here and guard?” asked Syarix. “No, it’s best if you protect her. As long as you’re near her, her powers will protect you and this place,” replied Elia. *** Flashback: 100,100 Years Ago… Kotan Country Garaxial woke up with a confusing start. He had no idea where he was nor who these people were. “Where am I?” he asked, “And who are all of you?” “This is Kotan Country,” said Kan, “Three of my people saw you arriving in this world. They took you here so you would be healed from your injuries.” Garaxial nodded and tried to move but his body ached terribly. The last thing he remembered was the Great Beings banishing him, and flying through an endless space. He shook the memories and said, “When am I allowed to leave?” “As soon as your injuries are healed,” answered Kan, “And is there anything else that you need?” Garaxial tried to think of something. Finally, he said, “I want to work here, I have been known for my projects in another world. Well, at least until I was exiled.” “This place can handle even the most deadly experiments,” said Kan, “There’s a laboratory where you can work on your projects…” A Week Later… Garaxial stood in the central chamber of the laboratory. The place was gigantic, filled with books, tools, and several samples. One corner of the place was some form of a pool, containing a sapient liquid. “This is amazing,” he said, “I’ve always dreamed of having such lab to work on.” “It’s yours,” said Kan, “This once belonged to my father’s, well…before he died, but this room was a lot smaller. That’s when we built a bigger, stronger lab so that way, there wouldn’t be any problems.” “I’ll do anything that’ll help this world,” said Garaxial, “I’ll provide better technology within days, perhaps hours!” “Is that alright if we work with you?” asked Sarhax, “With myself, Eajax, and Detex?” “Of course,” answered Garaxial, “I’ve always wanted to teach students as well.” *** Present Time… Coliseum, Averax Magna Turaga Vakama silently walked the hallways. He received a message from Belirax that Mata Nui needed the Mask of Time. The Turaga wanted to ask why but the female Skrall didn’t know the reason. And what exactly is he going to do with it? It’s been in the hands of Voporak for some time and who knows what damage he did with it, he thought. “Is something wrong?” asked a voice. Vakama turned and saw Nokama walking towards him. “Nothing,” he lied, “I was just taking a walk.” Nokama narrowed her eyes and said, “I know there’s more. What’s wrong?” Vakama sighed and answered, “I received a message from Belirax, that Mata Nui needs the Vahi. I don’t know why he needs it but…” “Don’t worry. He’s just trying to keep this world safe…” said Nokama, “After all, he protected us for a long time when we were part of him, now he’s returning the favor…” “What do you know?” asked Vakama, “I’m worried that he might damage the kanohi. Ever since Tahu used it…he almost lost its grip…” “That’s only the past,” answered Nokama, “Here, we are in paradise, just like in the legends. As long as he knows what he’s doing, I’m sure that we’ll all be alright.” “Vakama!” shouted a voice. It turned out to be Dume who was walking by as well. “Yes?” asked the other turaga of fire. “I just came in from one of the villages, there’s a terrible attack by some of Rock Steeds and Nui-Rama,” said Dume, “I’ve sent Jaller and his crew to go after them.” “Not another of those attacks. This is just like how it was back on Mata Nui Island,” muttered Vakama, “Did anyone get killed?” “Not that I know of…” answered Dume, “And why are you heading towards the Sacred Vault?” “I don’t have time to explain,” said Vakama, “Go meet with our brothers, they’ll want to know the news.” Before Dume could protest, Vakama walked away, he wished that there was a better way to explain this but he knew that Dume would argue against him. *** Village of the Agori/Matoran (Western End) Dezalk dodged another attack of the Nui-Rama. He fired a stun blast from his claw. Dalu took this chance by using her tools to increase the tiredness of the rahi. Eventually, the Nui-Rama crashed onto the ground, falling into a deep slumber. Garan fired another blast at a Rock Steed, trying to back it away from the settlements. Kazi then used his pitch forks to back the creature further. “Are they here yet?” shouted Garan as he tried to dodge another attack. “I see them!” shouted Piruk, “Jaller and the others had arrived. They’re assisting Dezalk and Dalu!” Jaller leaped on top of a Rock Steed, trying to gain control of the creature. Hahli took this chance by using her kanohi to mimic the abilities of the creature and leading several of them away. “Is that all of them?” asked Jaller. “It should be,” said Hahli, “But what is going on with these creatures? Even our Rahi are acting so weird…” “Tahu told me that he and his team fought several Nui-Rama a few days ago,” answered Jaller, “They believed that it was Miserix that did something to them. Gali told me that Lewa was going to investigate him.” *** Nuparu, Hewkii and Kongu managed to back off another swarm of Nui-Rama, Nui-Kopen and some Sand Bats. “Seriously,” said Kongu, “How could these Sand Bats reach here? I thought they lived in the desert of something?” Hewkii dodged another swipe from the bat and said, “Maybe they’re just bored?” Then he activated his kanohi, sending the flying creatures away from the village. “I guess that we’re done for now,” said Nuparu. “Wait! There’s another one!” shouted Hewkii. He took aim on his Cordak Blaster and fired. The bullet struck the Nui-Kopen and exploded. “Let’s go,” said Kongu, “I don’t know where the others are at…but we’ll have to regroup.” *** Elia’s Shop, Mezai Country Sakari slept while Syarix watched her. He wanted to sleep too but he had to keep guard. From what Elia said, the shadows were coming anytime soon and would try to take away more victims. Then he heard a soft whistle from the window. Sure enough, he recognized it as it was a sign that the shadows were coming in. He went up to the window and shut it and closed the blinds. Sakari, I might not have powers like you do, but I sense something terrible that’s waiting. Don’t let it get you…he thought. He turned to see Elia, holding a candle light at the doorway. Then she said, “How is she?” “Sakari is fine, she’s sleeping beautifully,” he answered. Nodding, Elia took a step in. She took out a sword to him and said, “I asked a friend of mine to make this for you. It’s called the Ebon Master Sword. I’ve heard that he trained you, did he not?” “He taught me a lot of moves,” said Syarix, “And thanks. I know Sakari has powers too, but I worry about her.” “I’ll send you guys to the next world tomorrow morning,” replied Elia, “it’s better off if you help her. Don’t worry about us; we’ll be fine for a while. As long as we do our drill, the shadows won’t take us away.” “Thank you again,” answered Syarix, “I’ll be sure to protect her no matter what…” And that’s because…I love her…he thought.

Review Story Chapter 8: A New Prophecy? Flashback: 100,100 Years Ago… Spherus Magna “I told you,” said Garaxial, “I only intended to reset the machine, not to tap its electrical power.” “Then why was your latest experiment, the one with the electric bolts, flew all over?” asked one of the Great Beings, “Several of them were harming the Agori and the creatures!” “Look. I was only…” began Garaxial when another Great Being said, “This is getting out of control here. You are exiled from this dimension!” Before Garaxial could reply, another Great Being held out his hand, sending the crazy scientist away. To them, there was no other choice but to banish him. Garaxial screamed as his body disappeared into the void. “Are you sure that this was a good idea?” asked one of the Great Beings. “Yes, now let’s move. Time is short!” said the other Great Being, “That eclipse is coming and if what we discovered was true, then life here is about to end…” *** Garaxial woke up with a shocking start. Exiled from the world of science, technology, and exotic life, he was in a series of twist in turns as he tried to find a way out of this dimensional space. What did I do so wrong, he thought, they appreciated my works for a while, then they started to shun me all because I took risks! But before he could think of a plan, a portal opened. Taking his chances, Garaxial jumped in, hoping that it would be some refuge waiting on the other side… *** Kontan World Sarhax, Eajax, and Detex completed their work for the day when they saw a portal opening. A lone stranger fell and collapsed. “Who is that?” asked Eajax. “I’m not sure,” said Sarhax, “But we must fine him some shelter. Perhaps our ruler would allow him to enter the fortress?” “Are you crazy?” snapped Detex, “Kan would never allow such stranger in his fortress!” “But still,” replied Sarhax, “He could at least help us save this poor fellow.” But little did they know that this stranger would one day change their lives, perhaps forever. Deciding on their choice, they dragged the unconscious being to the fortress. *** Present Time… Ati Country “This way,” said Syarix, “Watch you head, the tunnel on this bridge is a bit small.” Sakari and Syarix crawled across a secret tunnel. According to Syarix, it was a shortcut from the forest to the village. “How many are left?” asked Sakari. “Perhaps more than three dozen; we used to have a larger population here, perhaps about 500 of us. That is…until that storm came,” answered Syarix. The two finally came out of the tunnel, arriving in the village. To Sakari, the town seemed empty as if no one was living but Syarix said, “Don’t fear. Most of us just stay inside in order to keep ourselves safe. We come out at a certain time of the day and then we stay in shelter when the storm comes. It could take hours for that storm to pass.” After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at a desolated hut. Syarix knocked on it until he heard a reply. He opened, allowing Sakari to enter and then went inside. “What is this place?” asked Sakari. “This is one of the places where I work at. Well, kind of. A friend of mine sells various types of clothing. She should be here somewhere…” said Syarix when he turned to see Sakari not by him. “How?” began Syarix when he heard, “We’re in the back side!” “Is that you? Elia?” he shouted. “Yes! I’m busy sowing something!” she shouted. Syarix went to the back of the workshop. There, he saw Sakari with an old being finishing up a gigantic cloak. She turned to them and said, “So. Is she the one who I’ve been expecting?” “Expecting?” said Syarix, then he added, “Did you saw her in your dreams again?” “Well, I had to see them,” said Elia, “I know the struggle that she’s been going through. You’re Sakari, are you not?” “Yes, nice to meet you,” she answered. “Well then, I want you to try this cloak that I just finished here. I saw your mother in a dream, she told me to make you this cloak here,” replied Elia. Sakari took the cloak and looked at it. Then carefully, she wrapped it around. Suddenly, she felt stronger as if her powers were amplified. “How?” she began. “This cloak is powerful, enough to protect you from your greatest fear. But unfortunately, your mother sacrificed one of her weapons in order to complete the transaction. But not to worry, she still has the other half of the necklace since she can’t sacrifice it because you have the other half,” explained Elia. *** Chamber of Prophecies, Temple of Ancestors Mata Nui walked across the hallway, leading to a dark chamber. Inside were inscriptions of “The Shattering”, “Teridax’s Plan”, as well as “The Eclipse” but he sensed something else in there. What ever it is…I need to know, he thought. He scanned across the wall, reading for anything that might happen in the future. Suddenly, the world changed around him as he saw the dream that Skralla saw. He saw Sakari and some stranger trapped in the reflections as well as the shadows plaguing the kingdoms. But this time, (unlike what Skralla saw) he saw himself and Skralla in the same situation like Sakari, but this was different. He saw him and Skralla sacrificing the last of their power, allowing the world to stay protected. But then, he saw the time flowing back and forth as if the fabric of time was shattered. “What did you see?” said a voice. Mata Nui turned and saw Skralla, soaked by the rain. Then he asked, “What are you doing here? I thought you were asleep!” “You saw my dream? Didn’t you?” she asked. “Yes but I saw more…” he replied, “I saw ourselves in the same situation like our daughter was facing. Then I saw the world changing suddenly, as if the flow of time was shattered, causing the past and future to combine at once.” “You don’t suppose that something bad will happen to Sakari, do you?” asked Skralla, “And what do you mean that the flow of time was tangled?” “Whatever it was, I think it’s about to happen sometime soon,” answered Mata Nui, “If we fail to keep our kingdom safe…”
