HV: *Walks into KKD's place* Man, how long has it since I've been here? Silver? You in here buddy?
*He looks around the dusty setting before someone appeared in a flash of light, before a person appeared*
?: It's not Silver. Silver's the name of my kouhai. *steps out of the shadows to reveal himself* Call me KKD.
HV: Hahah! Bring it in, aibou!
KKD: *hugs it out with HV and smiled* Good to see ya, man.
HV: You too. Man, it feels like years since I've been in here. That's probably because we both have things to do.
KKD: Real life, the true worst enemy of any writer. *dusts a bit of the place to show a sign reading "Toa Sentai Mataranger Studio"* Dang, we got so far with this one, too.
HV: Hey, I remember this. It's pretty cool. Not to brag, but I've been a TOTAL fan of Bionicle. I've even fell in love with the rebooted models.
KKD: G2 Bionicle was ok, and I'm glad they tried to bring back the hype for the franchise that not only brought Lego out of bankruptcy and gained a bigger following worldwide, but also brought a franchise that played a big part of my childhood, almost as big as Spyro on the Playstation.
HV: That's why I'm here. *Picks up a Metranexus* This series needs to continue. We don't have to leave off where it was on the hiatused story. I'm thinkin… more of a different approach. *Shows the VS Changer and puts LupinRed's Dial Fighter on the slider.*
=RED! 0-1-0! MASQUERADE! KAITOU CHANGE!=
*He fires, causing the symbol to fly out and hit him, making him LupinRed.*
=LUPINRANGER~!=
HV: Damn, I look good.
KKD: Well… I guess we could try that. In fact… *reaches into a drawer and pulled out a file labeled "Inikanger"* We could be able to use that with another old concept of mine that didn't get far with my other teammates.
HV: Then what do you say we try it out? Here, you'll need this for the hype up. *Tosses another VS Changer to KKD along with PatorenIchigou's Trigger Machine*
KKD: *sighs* Honestly, I preferred Lupinranger, but since you stole that like the thief he is… *inserts the Trigger Machine into a spare VS Changer*
=ICHIGOU! PATORIZE!=
*he twisted the VS changer in response*
=KEISATSU CHANGE!=
*He fired in the air and was turned into PatorenIchigou*
=PATORANGER!=
KKD: I've said it before and I'll say it again, this design looks ugly to me.
HV: Honestly, both sentais uniforms look good. Ur thoughts on the series as a whole?
KKD: So far so good. Looking forward to more, but now we're getting off topic of the point of this, aren't we? *tosses HV a broom* We gotta fix this place up. Now let's get started in fixing it.
HV: Alright, we'll get this place all cleaned up. Good thing the first episode was all planned out. But, I think I'd better change out of this suit. This cape is killing me, how do they manage this thing? Oh well, Disclaimers! *Cranks the VS Changer*
=GET SET! READY….?=
*He fires sending the Red Dial fighter out and the disclaimers came.*
=GO!=
DISCLAIMERS: Neither KKD nor HV own Bionicle, Super Sentai, or anything else involved in this story. They belong to their respective owners including the Lego Company, Greg Farshtey, Toei, Bandai, Shotaro Ishinomori, etc. KKD does, however, own the idea of the Toa Sentai along with the designs, the and almost every aspect about them. HV owns the added concepts for this updated version. And props to old Team Toku Sonic member, Kamen Rider ZER0, for the ideas in names for the arsenal and their designs.
HV: Sa… shall we say it? It's been awhile, hasn't it? You know, the thing the Matarangers do?
KKD: I know what you mean, and it's only appropriate.
KKD & HV: Spirits Unite… IKUZE!
*On the Streets of Tokyo, MataRed, Inikared, Logan and Finn accompanied by Twilight and Spike met at the crossroads, raising their weapons and saying…*
Matared, Inikared, Logan, Finn and Twilight: SUPER HERO TIME!
*The Kanohi Hau and Calix flew across the screen, clashing a bit before spinning, showing footage from Mataranger Vs. Inikanger surrounded by various masks*
Logan: The Matarangers return, as do some new faces. But they won't face this new threat alone. Saa, Showtime da!
*Several rings flew around the screen along with Ghoul stones and Magic Circles as Revamped Awakening of Hope footage played.*
Twilight: So we have a new take on an older story. Starts the same, but where will it go?
Finn: Maybe the same as always, but Logan's in for a rude awakening. Omae na no un, Tamishite eru ze!
*This was followed by the Elements of Harmony spinning around as footage from Resurrection of Harmony appeared surrounded by said elements.*
Ignatius: It also appears we have a new story with a new take on MLP.
Alex Blaze: This young man wants to find the Elements of Harmony, but can get convince a reborn Twilight Sparkle to help him? Spirits Unite!
*The three hero factions appeared, Logan in his Wizard form, Inikared and Matared suited up with their teams and mecha in the back, and Twilight in her combat robes with Finn, sword drawn.*
Finn: You guys ready?
Matarangers & Inikangers: Let's Start!
Wizard: Showtime!
Gathered friends… after so long, listen again to our legend… of the Bionicle. In the time… before time… the Great Spirit, Mata Nui, brought forth the six main elements: fire, water, air, stone, earth, and ice, and with them, created new life on this world, but this new life was without purpose. So, creating heroes and protectors known as Toa, the Great Spirit illuminated us with the three virtues. Unity, Duty, and Destiny. We embraced these gifts, and we praised the Great Spirit for his blessings. But our happiness was not to last, for Mata Nui's brother… the Makuta, was jealous of these honors, and betrayed him many times, only for the Toa to sacrifice themselves to seal away the Makuta and his dreaded darkness and reform their broken world of Spherus Magna. They were successful, but Mata Nui didn't want this to happen again, so, entrusting the six main elements to six tribes of the world, the Great Spirit scattered his parts across the world, and his soul fell into a deep slumber that would span millennia. As he did, the worlds of the water covered Aqua Magna, the Desolate Bara Magna, and the lush Bota Magna were refused to form Spherus Magna, later renamed and forged into the Earth of today. But with change came the rekindled battle of Light and Darkness. Makuta Teridax had revived, along with his brotherhood, and sought to terrorize this new time. But from the chaos came the worlds defenders. Six heroes from all corners of the world united with the reincarnated spirits of the Six Toa. These were the The Toa Sentai Mataranger.
5 years after the formation of the Mataranger and the rekindled conflict between these ancient forces, a new force enters the fray. What is the fate of the Matarangers?
Present Day (2018)
Tokyo, Japan
All was quiet on Japan's streets, until a fateful sound rumbled the concrete.
BOOM!
From the fires of the explosion, a swarm of Vakhi emerged and began to terrorize the citizens. Robots programmed to pursue, capture or Destroy, they rampaged throughout the city until a stream of fire blocked their path.
"Yare yare… I suppose you Vahki never learn, do you?" a voice spoke out as the robots, both bipedal and quadruped, turned to see a young man with red hair, brown eyes, and wearing a red vest and jeans as well as sneakers staring them down, a strange silver gun in his hand that had a robotic face on the top, "If you're looking for trouble… you found it."
He quickly picked up a small red mask from a chain on his belt, loading it onto the face on the top of his gun.
=KANOHI HAU! SHIELDS UP!=
With a standby jingle that resembled tribal music coming from the gun, the man aimed his blaster at the Vahki, all raring to charge.
"TOA TRANSFORM!" he declared, firing a stream of fire from the gun along with an aura version of his mask that soon flew and attached to his face, causing a new suit to form around his body.
The boots and gloves of the outfit were red, the gloves only reaching his wrist, all edged in gold. The legs of the suit complemented the boots well, being a light orange that reached up to his waist, stopping at the golden belt he'd been wearing earlier. The main torso was red as well up to the sleeves which were once again orange. The torso piece also had black designs to reflect an aspect of armor, while the center had a symbol that looked like a broken circle with three smaller dots inside in a horizontal line. Last to be seen was the helmet, resembling the mask he placed on the blaster, the visor resembling that of sunglasses, but the sides had grill patterns that went over his cheeks and around the mouth and nose region, the mouthpiece outlined in black to look like the design of the mask.
To the Vakhi, the suit could only mean one thing. While they were just robots, their reprogramming made them recognize the red-suited man and they charged, blades and mouth mounted disc-launchers at eh ready. But no sooner did they charge that they were immediately cut down in a swath of flames, turning them all to silver liquid at the hands of the young ranger.
"Too easy," the boy said demorphing as his blaster suddenly ringed, "Moshi-Moshi?"
-Ig! It's Ventus! Why'd you have to rush-hurry as soon as the alarm went off?!- another voice asked.
"Look, Ven, it was just a bunch of Vahki. We fought those piles of metal a thousand times, or even more, over the last five years. Each of us can handle at least a hundred on our own now," Ig said.
"We're a team, Ig. But I suppose you're right. Makuta and his minions have been quiet lately, especially the last few years. Wonder what's gotten them into sending Vahki periodically?" Ventus asked.
"I don't know. But nothing good happens when that is planned. Whatever they're up to… we can handle," Ig said.
Meanwhile….
"That's the 50th Vahki swarm weve wasted! Master, what's the point of all this?" Makuta Bitil asked, veiled in his human form.
"Be Silent, Bitil," Makuta Teridax, currently appearing only as a floating set of red eyes, ordered. "I am aware the Vahki are worthless. However, without other valuable forces like the Visorak, Bohrok, or those whom we all agreed we'd bring out as a last resort, they are our only eyes and ears on the surface for the time being."
"Well, maybe not. Have you heard the reports of this earthling news lately?" Krika asked. "Six individuals have gone missing. Reports of glowing light possessing them were at the scene of each location, and then they acted differently."
Teridax was taken aback by this, though not in complete shock or surprise, but rather expressing a sort of… intrigue and curiosity.
"Could it be possible? Have THEY resurfaced at last? I thought the Ignika eliminated them."
"Who, Master?" Gorast asked.
"A group of monstrous creatures, rogues in my brotherhood, but very destructive and potentially as power hungry as we are. As you six have reincarnated by my hand, so have they, though not in the same way at the same time. They were called, the Piraka."
"The rogue Skakdhi? You believe these Piraka were behind the abductions? What should we do?" Antroz asked.
"Find them. They are the key we need, to finally turn this world to darkness, and in turn… destroy the Matarangers!" Teridax said laughing.
Cue "Centuries/Rise" by Fall Out Boy/Skillet; Mashup by Ekaterina Alyamkina
*As the instrumental began, several masks flew across the screen before two seperate groups stood together, walking in their ranger forms before the title showed*
Some Legends are told, some turn to dust or to gold, but you will remember me~! Remember me for Centuries!
*With that, both groups, totalling twelve members, stood in the light of the sun, the dust blowing off ground they were on showing the golden symbol of Bionicle*
And just one mistake, is all it will take to go down in history~! Remember me for Centuries!
*As the twelve charged towards the horizon, the title appeared, showing each sentai name before disappearing in flames and other elements*
Toa Sentai Mataranger
Vs
Voya Sentai Inikanger
All I see is, shattered pieces. I can't keep it, hidden like a secret (I can't look away!)
*Ignatius and Alex appear looking at each other in flames, Alex in the bright lights of Sin City, Ig under the scorching heat of the Volcano in the Big Island of Hawaii. It then transitions to Nami sitting in the sand at Long beach as she sees Aqua off in the distance of the ocean*
From all this pain in the world we've made~!
*Mason and Brand walk from their respective sites of the Grand Canyon and The Sahara, determined.*
Everyday you need, a bulletproof vest to save yourself, from what you never could guess (Am I safe today?!)
*Ventus and Kaze do their activities in the Amazon and Skies of England, as Steel works in his lab in South Korea but Terra is stationed in Africa, working the mines.*
When I step outside in the wars we wage!
*Yuki and Cryo are in their Alp and Siberia locations, but Hikaru wanders the city of Japan*
Our future's here and now! Here comes the countdown!
*As Vahki and other creatures from the time before time surrounded the twelve, they aimed their respective changers before we focused on Ig and Alex as they grinned before firing and transforming*
Some Legends are told, some turn to dust or to gold, but you will remember me~! Remember me for Centuries! (Rise in Revolution!)
*As the fight begins, the respective rangers fight alongside one another, Ig and Alex attack with their fiery swords, Nami and Aqua attack with water.*
And just one mistake, is all it will take to go down in history~! Remember me for Centuries! (Rise in Revolution!)
*MataGreen and InikaGreen attacked with axe and crossbow while MataBrown kicked one Vahki to an axe-wielding InikaBrown*
Sound it off this is our call! Rise in Revolution! It's our time to change it all! Rise in Revolution!
*Both Whites stabbed the ground and froze it and the incoming Vahki before they were shattered by both Blacks. The twelve reconvened and fired in unison, and as the Makutarangers and the Pirakangers arrive, they stood by each other.
Unite, and fight! To make a better life! Everybody one for all! Sound off! This is the call!
*Both groups charge at each other before going off in a flash of light.*
Hey~ya! Hey~! Hey~a! Remember me for Centuries! (Rise in Revolution!)
*The mecha for both teams stood and posed, ready for combat as they rushed into battle*
Hey~ya! Hey~! Hey~a! Remember me for Centuries! (Rise in Revolution!)
*Both groups stood by each other as the song ends and their titles appeared under them*
Chronicle 1: A new battle begins
In a dark alleyway, some sort of music played, it was a rap of sorts as a group of ragtag people messed around with stuff. However, someone walked over and pressed a button on an old radio, stopping the music altogether, making the six turn to see the man.
"Hey! What's the big idea, pal?! We were listenin to that!" a man said looking at a yakuza figure who changed from a suit into a blue jean and jacket outfit with chains and a slogan that said "Unleash the Beast".
"This alleyway's now property of the Piraka. I suggest you leave… before I make you," the man in blue warned.
"Says who, pal?" the man who snapped demanded.
"You heard him, he said… BEAT IT!" another voice snapped as a red clothed man in dusters came out of nowhere and brutalized the group.
"Let's get outta here!" one of them shouted as they ran.
"Violent as ever, Hakann. To be fair, I had that covered," the man in blue sighed in a calm tone.
"Oh come on, Vezok. What were you gonna do, talk them to death?" the man named Hakan retorted.
On close inspection, his outfit also had a slogan that read "This Fire Burns".
"Hmm… good point," Vezok agreed. "Where are the others?"
"Already found some of 'em," Hakann answered as a man with white stripped hair and a white jacket saying "I Walk Alone" walked up.
Behind him was a man with a sniper rifle along with other guns in a brown jacket with the slogan saying "Locked and Loaded."
"This is weird, ain't it?" the man in brown asked the one in white.
"Sure is. Not that I don't mind…" the one in white said with a shrug, "Nor do I care much."
"Settle down there, fellas. We're all guys, right?" Vezok inquired.
"Not quite," a fifth voice spoke up, making the four turn to see someone in a black jacket that said "Hunted".
"Reidak? Where's Zaktan?" Avak asked.
"Well, that's the thing… he's… well…" Reidak started before stepping aside to show a girl in green, the jacket slogan for her said "Snake Bite".
There was utter silence, and then….
"BWAHAHAHAHA!" Hakann and Avak laughed, that is until the girl fired a bullet from a gun into the wall between the two and held a familiar three-bladed weapon to their necks.
"This wasn't my first choice. Laugh at this body again and you're dead." Zaktan growled and warned.
"The Piraka are back. Although we would've stayed around had two of us didn't get greedy." Avak replied, glaring at Thok and Hakann.
"Can we just let the past go? It's been years," Thok sighed.
"Millennia if you wanna get technical."
"We will, but only because it's been that long. It's a new time, and a new place to make some chaos," Zaktan grinned, "Because the Toa aren't around at all."
"That's not entirely true," a new voice spoke as the six turned to see Krika flanked by Gorast, the two taking human appearances of a man with white hair and and red eyes, and a woman with green hair and brown eyes, both wearing black tuxedos and ties of their respective colors.
"Nan ja kore wa (Who are you)?" Hakann asked, having no idea how he said that.
"I am Makuta Krika. This is Makuta Gorast. And you are the Piraka, servants of our master." Kirika answered.
"We don't serve anyone but us. 'Sides, what would your master offer us?" Reidak demanded to know.
"We aren't oblivious to your ways, Skakdi… so Teridax himself wanted to offer a sort of… alliance," Gorast informed, approaching Zaktan in a rather provocative manner, "You ally with us, and we show you what Toa have yet to be taken out."
"As long as it ain't those Inika guys, I'm all for it," Thok shrugged, picking his teeth with what appeared to be an ice pick.
"So unrefined… yet we can show you," Kirika said.
Unbeknownst to the Makuta and Piraka, six comets rained down on the earth. Each one was a new mask that fell in a specific location.
In the fields of London, a skydiver dressed in green aviator gear had just finished his run in the air when a green mask crashed next to him.
"Eh? Nande?" He asked picking it up, "What's this?"
"Careful you don't accidentally quick-burn yourself," a voice informed, making the young skydiver gasp, almost dropping the mask before seeing a hooded man in green.
"Who're you? And what's with the weird way you're talkin?" He asked.
"Sorry young skydiver, it's just the way I tree-speak," he informed, "But perhaps, you mind-think more about that mask,"
"Mind think, what?" The young man asked.
"You must rush-hurry to Japan, there your future Toa-brothers will need your aid. Take this." He said handing a strange blaster to the man, "Now go, young wind-flier!"
"Hey, it's Kaze...what the?" the man called Kaze replied before seeing the hooded figure was gone, "Japan, Huh? Right then."
On the sands of the Sahara, a young man in brown work clothes was hard at work before the brown comet landed in the sand.
"Eh?" He asked digging it up, managing to pull out what appeared to be a gunmetal gray mask only to dust off the coating to see it was brown underneath, "A mask?
What kind of tiny mask just falls out of the sky?"
"Why, a Great Kanohi mask, of course," A cloaked brown figure wondered aloud.
"Hey, how'd you…?" the young worker gawked before regaining some composure, "This is a closed work site, and I'm digging here."
"A Toa of Stone like you has no business digging in the sand. Leave that to the Villagers in Onu-Koro," the figure informed.
"But uh… this is my job. Nothing wrong with a job, right?" the worker replied, "Also, what the heck is a Toa or Onu-Koro? I've never heard of those."
"Just take this and go to Japan. You'll find a suva about a few days away," the cloaked figure responded as he tossed a blaster at the young man, vanishing quickly.
"Hey wait!" the young man shouted, but it was too late.
"Brand! Who're you talking to over there?" his coworker asked, leaving the man named Brand confused and startled.
A white mask landed in the snow of Siberia where a student in white winter gear noticed it.
"This is uncanny, a mask from the sky? This defies all research of space," He inquisitively gawked.
He then heard a series of whistles and clicks, turning to see a white cloaked figure.
"Um… it's not wise to dress in white in the middle of a snowstorm, sir. You're liable to get hit by someone not seeing you," the student informed as the figure just smiled.
More clicks and whistles came from the man, leaving the student confused.
"I don't understand, what are you saying? I can't understand you, speak English! Or even Japanese! ANYTHING!" The student demanded.
The man just tossed him a blaster, confusing the student further.
"Cryo. Go to Japan. Find the Toa. Good luck," was all the figure said before whistling and clicking as he vanished in the blizzard.
"That just raised even more questions!" Cryo said. "Oh well, Japan it is."
In Long Beach, the blue comet splashed down, startling a young girl in a wetsuit and water shoes.
"Kyaaa! Oof!" She screamed before falling over, wincing as she saw the item, "Itete… what's this?"
She took notice of the mask in the water and picked it up, giving it an intense looking over.
"I've never seen this before. Is this some kind of toy?" she wondered.
"It is no plaything, my dear," an elderly female voice spoke, making her turn to see a woman in a blue cloak.
"Then… What is it?" The girl inquired scratching her head.
"You'll find out. For right now, you must meet up with some new allies. Go to Japan, but I know it's dangerous to go alone. Take this," the woman answered, handing the girl a blaster like the figures before vanishing.
"Eh? Zelda? Now why'd she say that to me? Oh well, Japan it is for you, Nami!" the girl, Nami, shrugged as she left for shore.
In South Korea, the Black Comet crashed into a building knocking a young man in black lab and street clothes with goggles over.
"Aw man, my projects!" He groaned, clearing out the rubble around the crash site "All ruined by a...mask?"
He curiously picked up the tiny piece of black metal and examined it.
"Never saw anything like this before… wonder what it's made of," he pondered.
"Protodermis, if you must know," a voice answered as a man in a black cloak appeal out of nowhere.
"Gah! How'd you get in here?! And what's Protodermis?" The man gawked as his head was suddenly loaded with questions.
"All of your questions will be answered in due time. I do have a means for you to unlock its potential, however," the figure answered, handing him a blaster, "For further answers, go to Japan and seek out the Toa. The world needs you, Steel."
"Me? Never thought a day would come, but… I'm goin'!" Steel declared pumping a fist before he grabbed his stuff and rushed out the door.
"Such spirit. You have some competition, Terra." The man said.
Finally, on the outskirts of Las Vegas the red comet crashed down. A man with red hair and T-shirt with jeans on noticed this.
"You wait here, I'm not done with you!" he shouted, shoving a cheater aside.
He picked up the mask and looked at it.
"Huh… a mask. I set aside that cheater for this?" He asked.
"The mask is only the beginning," a voice told him, making the young man jump, "Alex Blaze, am I correct?"
"Who's asking?" Alex questioned as he saw a red cloaked man, "What do you mean only the beginning?"
"Your eyes… you remind me of young Ignatius before he became a Toa," The man smiled.
"Toa? Ignatius? What's a Toa?" Alex asked.
"You'll understand soon enough. But to get those answers, you'll need that mask… and this," the figure informed, handing him a blaster. "Use the Suva and arrive at Japan."
"Suva? What's tha...WHOA!" Alex said over taken by light before vanishing, revealing a strange platform where he once stood.
"Oh, you were standing on it. My mistake," the red cloaked figure replied before taking his leave.
Over at Shibuya Station in Japan, Alex arrived in the middle of the street. He only had one thing to say…
"WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!" he gawked as he stumbled off the spot he appeared in and got off.
Suddenly the citizens were in a frenzy as Thok and Bitil appeared.
"Dete koi (Get out here), Matarangers!" Bitil said as he and Thok terrorized in their human forms, the Makuta firing off his Ghostblaster while the Piraka fired an ice blaster, freezing the civilians in place.
Suddenly, blaster shots interupted them as six different teens in different colored clothing appeared.
"Bitil! It's been awhile since you've shown your face," the brown clothed man grinned, "Who's the white gangster?"
"My name is Thok for your information. Heard of me?" Thok checked.
"Wait… Thok? As in… the Piraka? But I thought all six of you were destroyed when the Toa sealed the Makuta and all the evils away millennia ago!" the man in white realized with widened eyes as Thovk took out a spiked blaster.
"Yeah, about that… we're back," He said nonchalantly. "And guess who's up first to face the comeback?"
He soon loaded up a small version of his helmet onto a new silver blaster as a gangster like voice called out.
=THE DRIFTER!=
Thok grinned as he fired and the mask attached to him. He was then seen in a suit like the Matarangers, only the Piraka helmet replaced the traditional mask-like helmet, the mouthpiece resembling a set of white teeth while his powder-blue bodysuit was decked out in silver and spiky white armor.
"Sate...who's first to get frozen?" Thok asked, aiming the blaster portion of his dual weapon.
"H-he transformed?!" the blonde girl in blue gawked as Bitil loaded his mask up.
=KANOHI MOHTREK! JOURNEY ACROSS TIME!=
"Come on!" Bitil said transforming, his suit being primarily black with accents of yellow all over and having some hints of bug aspects all over, including a wing pattern on his back, and his helmet.
"What're you waiting for, an invitation?! It has been 5 years, have you gotten rusty?" He taunted.
The six heroes were just stunned until Ignatius gripped his fist.
"Shut up! Matarangers, IKUZE!" he shouted as they loaded their masks.
=KANOHI HAU! SHIELDS UP!=
=KANOHI KAUKAU! FEEL THE FLOW!=
=KANOHI MIRU! RISE ABOVE ALL!=
=KANOHI KAKAMA! ACCELERATION!=
=KANOHI PAKARI! OVERPOWER!=
=KANOHI AKAKU! SEE BEYOND THE LIMITS!=
"Toa Transform!" they declared as their blasters, the Metranexuses, let off a tribal jingle before they appeared in their separate suits, each having their respective colors and helmets based off their respective mask, as they faced Thok and Bitil.
"Nice getups… but not as flashy as the Toa I know." Thok said waving his ice pick.
The Matarangers ignored this as they each posed.
"MataRed!"
"MataBlue!"
"MataGreen!"
"MataBrown!"
"MataBlack!"
"MataWhite!"
"Unmei no toitsu gimu (The Unifying Duty of Destiny)!" they all shouted together.
"Toa Sentai…" MataRed started, before the others shouted alongside him.
"Mataranger!"
"Was that supposed to scare me?" Thok asked Bitil.
"Spirits Unite! IKUZE!" MataRed shouted before all six rushed in.
"Oh, please…" Thok groaned blasting MataGreen and freezing him torso down.
"Nande?! I can't move!" MataGreen said.
"That's kinda the idea!" Thok grinned firing his eye lasers and blasting MataGreen back off his feet.
"GREEN!" MataBlack gasped before slamming his Earth claws into the ground and shoveling earth at the two.
They dodged and combated the remaining five until they were at a disadvantage.
"Masaka… have we really gotten rusty?" MataRed asked in shock.
"5 long years fighting nothing but Vahki, and this is what remains of the once great Toa?" Bitil scoffed. "I'll just end it now!"
"STOP!" A voice called as Alex ran up and interrupted Bitil.
"Who dares…?!" Bitil demanded as he was hit in the face by Alex, but the Makuta in senshi form was hardly phased .
"Who's that?" MataBrown asked.
"Hey you! This place is dangerous! You need to leave!" MataRed said.
"Better to do something than allow six rusty heroes to die." Alex said.
"RUSTY?!"
MataRed quickly pulled out a giant red sword that ignited on fire at the blade before slashing at Thok, the heat actually forcing the ice Piraka to retreat.
"That blaster you used, it's just like mine…" Alex realized, pulling out and looking at his, soon noticing it had some minor differences in that it had, such as a longer barrel, before Bitil tried to attack.
"Enough talk you stupid humans!" Bitil snapped, "It's time to die!"
Alex didn't know what came over him, but he suddenly dodged the attack and activated his blaster. He inserted the mask into the top of the blaster and cocked the hammer.
=KANOHI CALIX! PEAK OF PHYSICALITY!=
"Nani?! A Kanohi mask?!" MataRed gawked as he witnessed Alex aim the blaster right at Thok's face.
"Toa… TRANSFORM!" Alex roared, firing the blast and unleashed a swath of flames that circled around him before the mask attached to him, forming into a red and orange suit with the mask being the helmet. His suit was different from Matared's, it having the same symbol as the others on his chest, but there were flame Decals on the arms and legs, and on top of that, he had a golden chestplate and shoulderpads.
"InikaRed!" Alex said posing.
Silence…
"EEEEEEEH?!" the Matarangers gawked, finding this revelation to be shocking to say the least.
"You're a...Toa?!" MataRed asked in complete disbelief.
"That's the same this the man in the cloak said I was… what's going on here?" The newly transformed InikaRed gawked and demanded to know.
"I know that design…" Thok said glaring, "You finally show your face again… Toa Inika Jaller."
"Who now?! Seriously, what's going on?!" InikaRed shouted, suddenly pulling out a golden sword with green outlines, managing to slash at Thok, only to realize it just. "A sword?"
"Mataku… you have no idea what you're doing, do ya kid?" MataRed figured.
"Kid? Wait a minute, I happen to be your age! What's goin' on here? Why is that thing calling me Jaller?" InikaRed demanded.
"Jaller? I see… you're his reincarnation. Look, we'll explain everything, just as soon as we take care of Bitil," MataRed said.
"Those two right? Okay, I think I see what to do..." InikaRed said beginning to understand.
He pressed a button on his sword, causing it to light up in green lightning and a blazing hot red fire.
=IGNITE!=
"Curaiyagare!" InikaRed said swinging his sword causing a flame slash to appear.
Bitil was forced to deflect this blast with his own blades as Thok rushed in and tried to freeze him.
"No you don't!" InikaRed shouted as he instinctively dodged the freeze blaster without even giving a thought, "My body… it moved without even thinking?"
"He activated his Mask Power without tapping his Kanohi? What kind of Toa is he?" MataWhite gawked, only to dodge an attack from Bitil.
MataBrown tapped his mask and quickly used his super speed to get behind Bitil and kick him around with the greaves on his legs, knocking him back.
"I'm sorry Bitil, What was it you were saying about us being rusty after 5 years?" MataBrown smirked under his helmet.
The Makuta growled as his own helmet glowed, and suddenly the Toa were surrounded by 50 versions of Bitil.
"You forget about my mask power?" he countered, "Ok boys, take them down!"
The other versions began to assault the group, then fighting back..
"Careful, newbie. These are Bitil's past clones, but they're still just as powerful as the present-day one," MataRed told InikaRed, who looked through the duplicates, and then got an idea.
"Is there anything we can do?" InikaRed asked.
"There is. Switch masks, MataBrown! Use your Master's Kanohi!" MataRed ordered.
"Got it!" MataBrown nodded, pulling out the flat-topped, ski-mask visored mask of his mentor before swapping it with his Kakama.
=KANOHI KOMAU! TAKE COMMAND!=
With this change in mask, his helmet changed to reflect this. He then focused his attention on a Bitil clone and suddenly it attacked the others.
"Hah! I should've used Sensei's mask this way when I first encountered you, Bitil!" MataBrown chuckled.
"Grr… stupid past mes," Bitil growled and tried to attack all at once.
"I don't think so!" InikaRed shouted, hammering his sword's button three times, emitting a bright glow.
=IGNITE BURNING! FLAME SLASH!=
InikaRed then swung his sword in a wide arc, destroying all the clones and knocking Bitil and Thok back.
"You idiot! Can't you control that temper?" Thok snapped, annoyed.
"Shut up, you wannabe gangster!" Bitil snapped back.
"Oi! Pay attention, both of you!" InikaRed said.
"What?!" Both villains said.
"You're about to be finished," InikaRed smirked, "Now!"
"Okay! Let's use the Midak Sky-Cannon!" MataRed shouted as the six MataRangers got into a position, held their hands up, and in a flash of light, a massive black-tipped silver cannon appeared in their hands as they aimed it at Thok and Bitil.
"Uh oh…" Bitil gulped.
"Yea, That doesn't look good," Thok said as the cannon charged up.
=UNITY! DUTY! DESTINY! MAXIMUM TOA CHARGE!=
"Toa Sky-Breaker!" the six Matarangers declared, firing a massive ball of light at the two villains and sending them flying.
"This ain't over, Mataranger punks! We're just getting started, ya hear?!" Thok called.
"We'll be back, Matarangers! And as for you, Inika, don't think this is over!" Bitil said as they disappeared.
Alex then demorphed, as he Matarangers did too. "Now… mind telling me who you are and what is going on?"
At the residence and base of the Matarangers…
"First off, I'm Alex Blaze, from Las Vegas. This day's been hectic for me. I caught a guy cheating in poker, then this mask crashed down. Next thing I know, a man in a red cloak gives me this blaster, I'm sent here, and you probably know the rest," Alex explained.
"I see… it seems that you were chosen," the man in black noted.
"Excuse me!" Alex responded, "Shouldn't you all introduce yourselves first?"
"Just what we need here, another fire-spitter," the man in green joked.
"Ven, take it easy," Ignatius responded, "He's right, though. My name is Ignatius, Toa of Fire for the Matarangers. And these are my fellow Toa: Aqua, Toa of Water, Ventus, Toa of Air, Terra, Toa of Earth, Mason, Toa of Stone, and Yuki, Toa of Ice."
"Ah. Sorry about my response, I'm a bit by the book. You and that man keep mentioning Toa. What is a Toa anyway?" Alex asked.
"Toa are the ancient warriors from the time before time who fought against the evils of the Makuta, whom you kinda saw us deal with not long ago," Terra informed, "Today, we take on these new forms with aid of the small masks we carry around known as Kanohi masks."
"I see. That white spiked one said I was a Toa named Jaller. Am I some reincarnation of someone to him?" Alex asked.
"Each Toa of the modern era carries the spirit of the one who came before him or her. I carry the spirit of Toa Tahu," Ig explained, "It's not easy to identify for many of us, but most are trained throughout the world in training villages called Koros. Most of the Toa these days came from these villages, but you say you lived in Vegas?"
"Yea? Why? Is that a big deal?" Alex checked.
"No modern Toa has been revealed or chosen outside the Koros for centuries," Terra noted.
"This is quite the awe-shock," Ventus added.
"I… see," Alex said looking at the masks on the table.
The table seemed to be docked on faces similar to those on the blasters the teams used to transform, and each were divided amongst seven colors, Alex's suddenly being attracted to the red spot under Ignatius' two masks. However, there was one in a gold holding spot missing. "Hey, you're missing someone."
"That's a bit complicated," Aqua admitted, "Amongst our group, we carry the embodiments of the Toa Mata, who later became the Toa Nuva. However, while most Toa teams consisted of six members, each representing the elements we represent and those of the main six Koros, the Toa Nuva were special in that there was a seventh Toa who joined their team with just as great a purpose: the Toa of Light, Takanuva."
"And where is he now?" Alex asked.
"We don't know," Mason admitted.
"Unlike most Toa, who all came from the Koros and were sensed by the village elders, the Turaga, for having the spirits within them, the Toa of Light has apparently gone missing since the time before time instead of sealing his powers like the rest of them. As such, no one knows where he is, or even if he will be reincarnated in any way," Terra informed.
"Then until then, we need to find my team, the Inikangers, if I'm right. There's me, The embodiment of Jaller," Alex said.
"That leaves five more. Hahli, Toa Inika of water, Kongu, Toa Inika of Air, Hewkii, Toa Inika of Stone, Nuparu, Toa Inika of Earth, and Matoro, Toa Inika of Ice," Yuki noted.
"Then let's get to work. The Makuta won't rest," Alex nodded.
"Alright, but if you're willing to join us, you'll need to prove your worth as a Toa. Not just in battle, but also in the code of the Three Virtues," Mason informed, pointing to a symbol above their heads.
"Unity, Duty, Destiny," Alex recited upon seeing the symbol before realizing what he said, "That… that just came to me. Why?"
"All Toa are bound together by these virtues," Aqua stated, "First, we are stronger when united. It may seem obvious, but while Toa are strong on their own, they are at their best when working as a team. Second is our duty to defend the world as we know it."
"And Destiny?" Alex checked.
"Every Toa has one. We all must have that true unity, performing our duties, so that we can all one day fulfill our own destinies, whether individual or tied to our teams," Ignatius added, surprising Alex.
"I understand. Then let's begin," He confirmed as he stood up.

Spirits Unite!
KKD: And there we go. Not bad for a start… but it had a lot of bumps in the road.
HV: Sorry, my Bonicle knowledge is a little rusty. But at least we got this studio cleaned!
*the Matarangers studio is now sparkling*
KKD: Yea. Though I noticed a lot of things were bumpy. How long has it been since you last wrote a story?
HV: Me? Psh. I always keep my writing skills sharp. It's just been awhile since I've collabed with you, that's all.
KKD: Uh huh. Either way, it feels great having come back to this childhood fav of mine. Hope the Victor here seemed to have the mindset that everything we wrote for notes had to be shoved here, but for sixth ranger stuff and some other aspects, I'd had to pull him back and remind him we save that stuff for later. Even if you saw the original story, we're starting from the ground up, meaning we can't play our aces or trump cards too soon.
HV: Gotcha. And don't worry, we'll figure out a new Super Hero time for this segment. *snaps* Wait, I got it! There's one Kamen Rider Story that might work!
KKD: What?
HV: Well… *shows the Driver On ring and a hand was placed on his waist, he activated it.* I may be a Fire Emblem geek too.
=DRIVER ON! PLEASE!=
KKD: Wait… you mean…?
*HV then slided the belt into the transformation position with the Flame Style Ring at the ready*
=SHABADOOBIE TOUCH HENSHIN~! SHABADOOBIE TOUCH HENSHIN~!=
HV: *smirks* Henshin. *activates the transformation into Flame Style*
=FLAME! PLEASE! HI! HI! HI HI HI!=
HV: *Now in Wizard Flame Style* How do I look? And… are you surprised what this is hinting at?
KKD: Yea… um… and about that, I was already planning on rebooting that story, too.
HV: Really? I don't suppose you want some help? If my placing is correct… the next chapter you should be on after Secret Seller should be…
KKD: No, like starting over reboot. I was overwhelming myself with the excess of new characters from everyone for every official character, so I narrowed it down.
HV: Really? In that case, what characters did you decide on? I know Logan and Lora are staying on, Wizard and Beast and all. Who else did you choose?
KKD: Started over from the ground up with other characters from people I work closer with. But if you really do wanna help, I'll let you know where my progress for that currently is.
HV: Definitely. But anyway, we gotta sign off for now. This is Hope the Victor-
KKD: And KKD Silver…
HV, signing off. See ya.
KKD: *Salutes* Jaa ne.
