Bionicle Origins

Dawn of Metamorphosis

Chapter 1

"Sara!" called Sara's mother from downstairs

"Yeah? What's up?" replied Sara

"Could you do me a favor and run down to Blockbuster?" asked Sara's mother "There are a couple of movies that need to be sent back."

"Sure, no problem?" said Sara heading downstairs to put on her brand new brown and white Vans sneakers

After, putting on her shoes, Sara walked out the white, plain door holding the two movie rentals that her mom rented from Blockbuster. She jumped over the two steps that led up to the front porch and onto the beige-colored, concrete sidewalk and walked down the road. Blockbuster wasn't too far from Sara's current location. In fact, it was actually a couple blocks away.

As Sara was about to cross the street, she was stopped by the loud, boisterous noise of a blue minivan honking its horn. She quickly apologized (even though the driver couldn't hear) and stepped back letting the minivan drive away. When the next car stopped for her, she quickly jogged across the street trying not to make a traffic jam and have everyone become impatient.

After finally arriving at the large Blockbuster building, Sara slipped both of the DVD movie rentals into the drop off box one at a time. When she dropped them, she heard a large thump coming from the other side indicating that they got through. She then turned around and started to head back to her house.

When Sara entered the neighborhood she lived in, a strange feeling came about her. She took notice of the unbearably thick, white-ish grey fog that rolled in which increased the curious feeling in Sara's chest. Where Sara lived, the fog never came in the afternoon; usually by the time it was noon, the fog would've already dispersed. But this fog… it was like being in a cemetery on a cloudy morning. For Sara, this wasn't natural.

But Sara simply shrugged it off and continued her way. She was walking until suddenly, she heard a crack. She stopped and looked around but she couldn't see anyone or anything in the fog. She nervously made her way again. Then, she heard the quiet but soft sound of shuffling footsteps behind her. Sara stopped and quickly turned around only to find nothing but a never ending sea of fog.

Sara then turned around and started walking again but this time a little faster. She heard the footsteps closely behind her… like it was intentionally following her. Sara knew she was being stalked. Before she knew it, Sara was running as fast as she could through the suburban streets. Now she knew how the people being chased in those mystery movies felt. She felt the wind brushing against the top of her long, milk chocolate-colored hair.

Feeling that she had lost the person who was stalking her, Sara slowed her pace to a stop. She turned around panting from the sharp pain in her lungs and looked around to see if anyone was there. Sara sighed with relief when she found out that there wasn't. She gave out a weak smile.

I'm probably just imagining things; thought Sara I've gotta stop watching those scary movies every Friday with my friends.

Sara then turned to face the road in front of her. But when she did, she realized she was not alone; and it wasn't human. There was a twelve foot tall creature with crimson red armor and limbs and small yellow eyes. It was carrying around a long, metallic silver staff with two red batons at each end. Sara gasped and was about to scream but in a split second, she felt a hand completely cover her mouth. Sara began to squirm violently struggling to break free of her captors' grasp. But what made her squirm even more violently was that there were more of them and they could talk.

"Dammit! She'sss going cause a ssscene!" said one creature

"Hold her ssstill so I can drain her energy." said another creature

"I can't! She'sss kicking the freaking crap out of me!" said a third creature

"Ssstop whining and get her to sssit ssstill!"

"You think thisss isss easssy? I'd like to sssee you try!"

"Shut up! Both of you!" said a fourth creature "Hurry up and drain her already!"

"Alright, alright!"

Sara was then completely covered in a royal purple aura. A wave of exhaustion came over her. She suddenly didn't have the strength to even move. Her body gave up struggling and went limp like a dead fish. She heard the strange beings mutter something but she couldn't hear exactly what it was. It sounded like more bickering but she wasn't sure. In a matter of seconds, her entire world went from grey to black.
