Hi again, here's another chapter for you people to enjoy, I hope you like it; 'cause I'm finally revealing the identity of the mysterious attacker!!! D
Also, this is kind of a chapter in tribute of the late Michael Jackson. ^^
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bionicle or Scar or Varia or Thriller, but my OCs are 100% insane. And original.*

Nidhiki ran through the fortress of Light Void shutting every possible door behind him; but then again, you'd do exactly the same thing if an angry Great Being bent on bashing your mask into your head was chasing you. Which, believe me, was going to be something very, very painful because said Being was called Varia.
"You can run as much as you want, but your ass will be mine for what you did!" Varia shouted as she phased through –yet another- protosteel door; the Toa of air was gnawing at her patience and she only had so much to spare before she decided to blast her way through.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Kalnur snarled at the figure hidden in the canopy of the jungle; his hunt had ended here, which meant he was going to face off with someone who knew about his recent activities. Snarling again, he began to circle the small hut in hopes of an opening.
"As if I'd let that happen, dummy!" A figure wearing the Kanohi Kraahkan said as it emerged from the hut and glided to one of the lower branches. It's figure was insect-like from the waist down, parading tri-clawed feet, a tail and what appeared to be some sort of spiky protrusions on the heels. From the waist up, however, it looked like someone had tried –and failed miserably- to imitate an upper male body, complete with wings –six in total- and a pair of funny looking swords.
The assassin simply waited until Kalnur returned to his normal shape and reduced his size to match it's own to drop down from the branches and plant the strange blade at the Great Being's neck. "So, how about some negotiations on how you'll surrender"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
(Light Void)
Nidhiki cowered against the wall; this was it, this was how he'd die; no glorious battle, no last stand, just crushed and beaten to pulp under the heel of a very angry Toa of Gravity. And that's why he always had had the feeling life sucked.
It was as he pondered all the glorious battles and missions of his past than a very angry Varia blasted the door from it's hinges and almost into the Toa.
"Now listen up Nidhiki, and listen good; you have three seconds to explain yourself and why shouldn't I kill you!!! One… Three; too late!" Varia said as she threw Nidhiki through the newly created door and into the courtyard. "Maybe you should have thought twice about betraying us, don't you think?" She added as she planted her armored foot on his throat.
"Wait a sec Varia! It was the guy standing right behind you that brought me here!!" Nidhiki answered as he gasped for air.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
(Naya)
Kalnur flew through the canopy of the forest until he slammed into a tree; with a grunt of pain, the being rose to his feet and drew out his blade; the 'negotiations' had gone to hell a long while ago; searching for an opening, he quickly made a couple dozen shadow clones to help him.
"Now, now; we never said ninja techniques were allowed" The assassin said as it blew a giant fireball in the direction of the group of clones. "That would be cheating right out in the open" She added as half the group disappeared.
"Well, we never said they weren't allowed either" Kalnur said as he appeared behind her and slashed off almost half the tail an one of the wings, only to find them regenerating moments later. "What the hell?"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
(Light Void)
Varia turned around just in time to avoid the armored fist of a very angry Kalnur, just to sweatdrop when the being finally seemed to realize who she was and dropped to his knees asking forgiveness.
As it turned out, Varia calmed down enough to hear the explanation and avoid killing the good half of the Toa and the bigger clone of the Great Being. The story Varia heard was quite amusing: apparently, the Toa standing in front of her was the 'good' half of Nidhiki that Kalnur had decided to save for his squad or regiment –he wasn't sure- for when he'd help her in her fight against the dumb Yistran and the fate of this dimension and blab la bla. Also, the Great Being was currently in a jungle paradise and not to be bothered by anyone.
Needless to say, Varia began chasing both of them around.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
(Naya)
Kalnur sped through the jungle trees in a zig-zag pattern; the assassin had proved to be much more effective and deadly that he had at first imagined, so he had resorted to guerrilla-like tactics, hitting from the shadows at any available opportunity.
That had proved to be as effective as trying to swat a faerie, which, let me tell you, is something you don't wanna try to do; anyway, the Great Being was running out of options and he decided to do the last thing he wanted to: prove how far the assailant could go; teleporting to a random location, he opened his eyes to see a desert stretching for miles and miles. "Oh great, just what I needed!!" He added with a grumble.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
(Bara Magna)
The Agori Kriset ran through the sand dunes in hopes of finding something that would help the village of Tesara and it's Glatorian Gresh, what he didn't expect to find was a being trice the size of a glatorian and many times more confused; screeching to a halt, all he could do was stare.
It was at this moment that another figure emerged out of nowhere and began fighting with the gigantic being; blows of fire and light and shadow were exchanged and the dunes began to erode due to sheer pressure.
It was at this time that something even freakier began happening, as Kriset watched the two monsters shift and change with each blow, until they looked almost unrecognizable from their first appearance; as they stumbled through the dunes, one of them opened a portal of sorts that swallowed the two beings and a very scared Kriset into another world.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Kalnur landed with an oomph atop a pile of bones; wherever they were, it reeked of death and evil, plus al the stupid bones lying around everywhere, as he stood up, he noticed a small matoran of sorts clinging to his leg for his life.
"Uhm… little one, you have to let go of my leg, I don't know where we are and we might have to run somewhere" The Great Being said as he shook the little agori off his leg and held him at eye height. "Just who the hell are you anyway? You don't seem to be wearing a mask or any- " The Great Being stopped as he saw the assassin emerge from the portal and plant the strange blades at his feet.
"Kalnur, Kalnur, Kalnur… You're easily traceable, an energy hound would find you really boring as a prey; now, how about I finally get you to calm down with some zombies" The assassin said as hand signs flashed like a blurr and she slammed a a hand to the ground. "From the deepest slumber I call you back, my target and quarry you will hold back"
It was at this moments that hundreds of skeletal hands began rising out of the ground, followed by arms and shoulders and heads and torsos… in short, a whole army of zombified skeletons was rising up to catch them. "What are we going to do?" Kriset yelled while freaking out. "What the hell are those things and why do they want me too???"
"There's only one way to deal with the undead, little one" (insert Thriller music here xD)
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
(Light Void, one day later)
Kalnur's clone was walking back to his fort; things were looking real bleak: Yistran had found a way to somehow lock Varia out of her own fortress and was being a real jerk altogether… well, not that he hadn't been one since Kalnur had met him, but you could get the picture; what was worrying the clone more was that the original Kalnur had gone for a week now in his hunt; not good.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
(Grixis)
"Okaaaaaay… I gotta hand it to you Kalnur; I wouldn't have thought of that in a million years" The assassin said as she picked up her blades again. "But I'm afraid you still have to deal with me, and I'll stop being nice"
"Okay, just STOP IT 'Kreya'!!! If that is the real name you have and not something you used all those years" The Rebel Great Being replied as he prepared a portal back to the Great Being dimension; this game had gone long enough… and probably Varia had gotten poor Nidhiki long ago.
"Hey! Wait a second, big guy!! What are you going to do about me, huh? I'm not staying here… but I'm not going back home either!" Kriset said as he tagged along the two beings. "You're going to take me to wherever it is you're going!" He added as he walked through the portal.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
(Great Being Realm)
Kalnur arrived just in time to see Yistran floating in front of a sleeping Varia; the madman was summoning some kind of glittery mist; Kalnur was wondering if he should act and began walking towards them, but then Yistran fired the energy at Varia…. and she was gone. Kalnur dropped to his knees as a red mist covered his vision and warped his mind.
"YISTRAN!!!!!!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Well, that is one nice cliffhanger I left for you xD Sorry about taking so long to finish and upload this, but there were some technical difficulties; bad news is, I'm also starting school soon, so it might be a problem xD
Also, I'd be terrified if zombies could 'bust a move' like in Thriller, but then again, I'd dance 'till their legs came off and they couldn't chase anymore
