Chapter 35: Get back here!
"Ugh"!, Armor groaned as he was then thrown across an empty section of the battlefield.
Armor quickly got up onto his feet then, readying both of his blasters and aiming them at not one, but two armed Makutacons. The two being War Machine and Shut Down. And neither one looked like they were willing to go easy on him. Armor grinned. Good., he thought. No way he was going to go easy on THEM. Regardless of how many other people would probably disagree, he had a deep belief in the freedom of Earth through forgiveness.
Shut Down shot his red blaster first. Armor quickly twirled to his right side, simultaneously shooting at him. Shut Down blocked this shot with his right wing as War Machine charged at him. Armor saw War Machine coming and fiercely shot both of him blasters, but War Machine just rolled across the floor, dodging the bullets and getting closer. Armor immediately directed his attention to Shut Downs twirling form in the air, who was also attempting a swing with with his active tail rotor.
Armor backed away enough to dodge the swing, then spinning himself quickly, pointing his right blaster forward. As Shut Down attempted another swing, Armors, right blaster made HARD impact with his face, knocking him back with blood flying from his mouth. Immediately after doing this, Armor shot at War Machines feet as he had begun charging. War Machine twirled himself up into the air, then preparing a swing-down kick as he began his decent.
Armor raised a left arm, blocking the kick before then grabbing said leg with his left hand, swinging War Machine around, and throwing him at a charging Shut Down, both of them flying back and making a hard impact on the concrete floor. Armor tried taking his chance there and then, aiming both blasters as they got up and shot at them. Shut Down shot his red blaster, the bullet making impact with Armors. War Machine shot a thornaxx fruit from his right arm/zamor cannon, which made impact with Armors chest armor and exploding.
The two Makutacons waited then as fire covered the area surrounding Armor. Surely most people would be big enough fools to think this would be calling someone dead, but the Toabots were ALWAYS more clever than that. Heck, if this one had managed to survive on this cursed earth for the past ten or so years, surely they were smart enough as to figure out a way to survive THAT.
Almost immediately, Armor emerged from the fire, his entire body covered in a shining silver. Just then, as Armor made it out of the flames, the silver disappeared, returning him to his normal form. This figures., Shut Down thought, remembering now that this Toabot was one of Iron. But even iron breaks sometimes., Shut Down thought, then stomping on the ground and nearly causing the entire floor around Armor to crumble and form a sinkhole.
Armor was quick, flipping himself into the air and then dodging a burst of fire that came from War Machines left hand. As Armor then landed and both Makutacons charged him, he just sent himself into a frenzy, shooting and swinging as fast as he could at anything that moved. NOW, War Machine and Shut Down were getting aggravated. They just couldn't stop him! He was too strong and too fast! Too strong to outmatch and too quick to do ANYTHING.
In what Shut Down assumed was anger, War Machine just charged at Armor, not giving any regard to himself as he moved. Swung, missed. Shot a missile from his right shoulder cannon, nothing. Swing kick, Armor blocked it with his left arm and then pushed up, causing War Machine to twirl in the air, completely out of control. And while he was still in the Armor swung as hard as he could with a right blaster at the spinning and falling form, hitting War Machine in the face. Immediately after that, War Machine landed on the hard on the concrete ground, unconscious.
Armor quickly turned, grabbing the swing of a right arm from Shut Down and flinging him toward the sinkhole. Shut Down immediately transformed to Helicopter mode then, firing a missile at Armor who simply moved his head to the right, dodging it as he kept firing. One down, one to go, and probably seven more after that., Armor thought. Either way, he wasn't done yet.
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Rack ran far up a wall,performing a back-flip to dodge a charging Brawn who drove a left fist at said wall, breaking it to pieces. Rack rolled his eyes as he then landed on Brawns right side, changing his healing blaster into a hook-blade. Just HOW did he get stuck fighting this super-Makutacon? Especially when fighting Brawn was the equivalent to a human trying to fight a bear with a toothpick. Or a Ko-matoran trying to last longer than a minute against a Rama Bull. Either way, this was not at all what Rack had been expecting. Surely, Armor was doing better!
Rack readied himself then, raising his left sword/hook arm, Rack just decided that he was going to have to just do the best that he could. Quickly, Rack ducked back when Brawn swung a right buzz saw/ hand in Racks direction. Brawn tried to swing in the other direction with the same weapon. Rack ducked down, then did a roll forward, managing to at least get BEHIND him. Knowing where he was, Rack quickly got up and swung around at Brawns back, hopimg that his weapon would make a penetration of SOME sort. But instead of cutting through like Rack had expected, the hook weapon just sort of bounced right off of his back and causing Rack to accidentally hit himself in the face.
Slag!, Rack thought, trying quickly to recover from the pain as he saw Brawns slightly amused form spin around and swing at Rack with a left fist. Rack quickly flipped himself into the air, narrowly dodging the fist, then swinging his right leg mid-air at Brawns face. Brawn let out a short grunt as this happened, then grabbing Rack by the throat quickly with his left hand, being sure to do so before Rack had any chance of landing.
Brawn glared intensely into Racks eyes as he just gave him a light shrug, thinking: At I was able to harm him in SOME form of way. With that thought coming and going, Brawn immediately hurled Rack into a wooden wall, flying through at a faster speed than he could calculate. But Rack was able to catch himself, flipping before his feet had then found the floor, sliding back as he dug his hook into the ground to slow down his speed.
Course, this solution had immediately started to become useless and frightening to him when he looked back up, seeing Brawn running towards him with a buzzsaw at the ready. Resisting the urge to pee himself, Rack swung himself to his left side, narrowly dodging Brawn who had instead, ended up slicing through a concrete pillar like it was grains of sand and glass. Upon noticing this, Rack took a brief look up at the ceiling, noticing it move a bit. Rack immediately grinned as he looked back down at an angry, charging Brawn.
Brawn swung a left buzzsaw/hand. Rack ducked and rolled underneath of him, then transforming into vehicle mode and speeding ahead as fast as he could, even going as far as to honk his horn in order to get the larger Makutacon to give chase. Back and forth Rack drove across the old buildings interior, never stopping a second for ANYTHING. If there was one way Rack really didn't want this plan to end, it was with them both ending up dead.
Eventually, Brawn had stopped dead in his tracks, getting tired of this catch me if you can game and letting out a long scream in annoyance, again, making Rack resist the urge to wet this entire floor. But Rack, turned then in Brawns direction, transforming back into toa mode as Brawn flipped up both of his shoulder cannons, and reverted the strange devices propped up on his back, to the front, making what looked like a large cannon. Rack widened his eyes then, swallowing his vomit as he immediately took off running as quickly as he could, narrowly dodging a storm of firepower that had started to seem like it was coming from all direction, AT all directions.
Racks liark skipped a multitude of beats as he horrifically though of just how this whole situation changed for him. This day had gone rather quickly from do or die (the easier days for him) to run or die in a fury of explosions. MAN!, Rack thought. And some people think Michael Bay had a big obsession for explosions! But at the same time, Rack had to crack a smile, knowing that this only further improved his plan. Brawn was infuriated, and that only meant that Rack was getting closer and closer to taking this guy down.
Finally, one of the last three pillars blew to pieces and Rack didn't waste a second of his precious time, transforming and speeding towards the hold he had been thrown through, making a silent prayer that he would make it out of here alive. But despite this worry, Rack decided if he was going to die from a building collapse, he was going to do so with a wisecrack.
Then adjusting the audio on both of his speakers, Rack loudly said: "Hey, Brawn, you ever hear the ending of the story of Samson"?
As if immediately realizing what Rack was saying, Brawn looked up at the ceiling, noticing as it had started to crack and release massive clouds of dust onto the ground. Then, as Rack had managed to finally make it out of that hole, he reverted back into Toa mode, grinning ahead at Brawn as he immediately glared at him.
"You're right in the middle of it"., Rack told him.
As Brawn had then started to charge at him, the entire building crumbled into a large cloud of dust, large pieces of wood and metal collapsing on top of him, until nothing remained but a large pile of the destructive aftermath. Rack let out a sigh of relief then. Maybe this battle was going to be finished a lot sooner than he thought. Now that he had REALLY started to think about it, all he wanted to do now was play the same trick on all the other Makutacons. But no, that'd be too boring., Rack thought.
But just as Rack was starting to walk away, he felt a hand tightly grab his left shoulder and literally toss him across the large cloud of dust, as if he were nothing more than a pebble. Rack made impact with the side of a building just across from it, being unable to catch himself as he fell hard onto the now, sandy ground. Literally petrified out of his mind now, Rack looked up, quickly changing his scope eye to X-ray vision as he got up and stared ahead of himself. But by the time he did so, he immediately saw a grinning and barely damaged Brawn, who said: "Oh look, not a scratch".
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Solar Scream was getting irritated now. Far beyond it actually as he kept trying to make an attack towards Athena, only to either A.) be thrown at something, or B.) getting hit or kicked himself. Agitating this truly was, that he, Killers only apprentice, was getting his own hide handed to him by a female. But then again, THIS female was the wife of the Toabot leader. It wasn't wrong to assume that she'd have some skills as well, but it didn't change the amount of embarrassment he felt as he once again got flung through a window.
Immediately getting back up, Solar Scream braced himself for whatever the crap this female was going to do next. Unfortunately he never saw it coming. Or at least not quick enough to react in time. Athena came at Solar Scream in a flying fury of feet, kicking him what felt like forty times across the face within a single second. Solar Scream was knocked back again, landing on his feet this time as he felt more determined to win this fight. Solar Scream punched the ground, sending a column of Earth headed into her direction.
Athena simply dodged this with a jumping motion. Solar Scream glared and screamed, attempting this again, Athena rolled forward, easily ducking away from the flying rock. Almost immediately, Athena lightly waved a hand over her crouched spot on the ground, making Solar Scream curious as he then made a larger than average Earth hammer with his mere left hand. But deciding not to let this distract him, Solar Scream charged, exclaiming: "Here come a big one sister"!
Athena opened her eyes then, silently calling upon the water beneath the surface with the simple squeeze of the waving hand. Suddenly, Solar Scream was sent flying and screaming rather hilariously into the sky, by a large wave of water that erupted from the ground.
Athena looked humorously at him, waiting for him to fall hard on the ground before then replying: "Mine's bigger".
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Ketongu ducked back as Blocker swung his chain-sword in his direction, then spinning and attempting a swift kick to the face. Blocker easily grabbed said lag, then throwing him into a dumpster far in the backside of the alley, denting it as Ketongu spun himself enough to ensure that his feet were the only things that made impact as he performed a front flip, then swinging his katanna forward and deflecting a spinning star as it nearly made impact with his face.
Blocker came charging forward then, throwing star after star swiftly and quickly in ketongus direction. But regardless of how fast Blocker had been throwing said stars, even at random, Ketongu just dodged with rolls and flips and deflected them with single swings. Eventually, Blocker just gave up on these stars and just kept charging at his, swing his chain-sword to his right upon getting close enough. Ketongu rolled underneath of this swing, then quickly turning around and raising his katanna to block the chain-sword that had already started to come in a downwards direction towards his face.
As both of their blades made impact there, Ketongu quickly jumped upward, performing a front flip and kicking Blocker hard in his chest, knocking him back as Ketongu simply landed in front of him in a crouched position. Ketongu came charging at Blockers form then, attempting to swing his katanna down at him. Blocker simply rolled to his left side, then jumping with a twirl and kicking Ketongu across the right side of his face, hard enough to nearly knock him into the long brick wall on his left.
Ketongu spun around then, swinging the katanna at Blockers charging form. Blocker simply ducked and grabbed Ketongu by the waist, tackling him hard onto the ground in rage. But this didn't weaken Ketongu. At least not in spirit if indeed in physical form. No way he was going to give up now, not with the fate of the world at stake. Instead, Ketongu gave a hard kick to Blockers left side, causing him to lean back far enough in pain for Ketongu to then actually kick said Makutacon off of him, sending him flying off of him.
Ketongu rolled back onto his feet as Blocker performed a flip in the air, then landing on his feet and groaning still as he pressed a hand to the right side of his chest. At least two ribs were broken from that. Blocker just glared up at ketongu then, swirling his chain-sword in a challenging motion. Ketongu just grinned as he then charged forward, Blocker doing the same. Only one was going to make it out of this, and both were determined to make sure that it was himself.
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Paradox was getting close to no where with his older brother. Already since they had started this fight, Paradox had gotten what felt like third degree cuts across various points in his body, and was already starting to feel like he had token too many beatings or throwings to even TRY standing. But as best as he could, Paradox ignored his pain and pressed harder and harder forward, still trying to at least PUNCH his brother. This was all for the freedom of the races who had sinned against him, something he was willing to die for should it ever become necessary.
Regardless of how much of a threat Killer already was, outmatching him in both strength and skill, Paradox still had to try. If he didn't then who else will?, was one of the many thoughts that kept him going as he stood back up onto his feet, glaring ahead at the charging Killer. Using all the strength he could muster in those moments, Paradox did a side twirl jump over Killers head, swinging his arm-blades at the first thing that wasn't him that came into sight.
Killer roared in pain as Paradox's arm blades easily cut through an area in his back, making a large gash that started to quickly leak blood. But paying no more than a seconds mind to the pain, Killer spun himself, swinging his axe at Paradox who simply blocked it with a left arm-blade. Knowing that his brother was never one to play easy, Paradox gave a hard kick to both of Killers legs, tripping him and causing him to fall onto his back.
Immediately deciding not to waste any time, Paradox attempted to shove a right arm-blade into Killers left shoulder, only to feet a sharp and then burning pain in his left arm. Paradox let out a short exclamation of pain, them looking over at the glowing red axe embedded into his left arm, and how it burned more as he laid eyes upon it. Paradox kept in any further screams as he looked back down at Killers insidious grin, fighting through the pain and shoving his left arm-blade into Killers left shoulder, channeling his elemental power into said blade, and causing Killer to shake intensely on the ground as electricity surged through him, even causing smoke to come from the wound.
Paradox widened his eyes then in worry. What was he doing?! Yes, this Makutacon was evil, but he was still his brother! And a massive part of him still loved him as such. Gracious, you want him unconscious, not dead!, Paradox silently scolded to himself. This needs to be done. No it does not Paradox! Look at what you're doing to your older brother right now! Look at what you're turning yourself into! I've killed Makutacons before. Yes, but what about a family member, have you ever killed one of THEM!? Paradox just tightly closed his eyes, then turning away as he quickly pulled out the blade, deciding to accept the fact that no matter what, he could never bring himself to kill his brother. No matter how violent, cruel or ruthless he was.
As a long silence had then started to pass, a part of him had actually started to wonder if he was dead, forcing himself to turn around, only to be met with a punch in the face that sent him flying back. Paradox quickly stopped himself, repositioning himself in the air and landing on the ground, feet first. Paradox then looked up at Killer who was still quite the distance away for him to plan something. But upon then remembering that Killer was a Makutacon of fire, Paradox immediately realized that he was a fool to use his elemental power in the first place. And that made him, at the moment, powerless.
Killer stealthily spun his axe then, smiling at Paradox and asking: "Finally deciding to play my game of no rules brother"? A maniacal laughter erupted from the Makutacon general, before he then gave him a taunting grin and said: "This is going to be more fun than I thought".

As Edward had continued to lead his group hastily through the battlefield, he along with everyone elses lights were filled with two conflicting forces, a bravery to help their friends win this battle, and a fear they felt pressing them to run away. But among the six fear filled bionicles, Green was NOT willing to let his friends fight this fight alone, not after all they had done and succeeded in doing for all Earth-kind. Like Ketongu had humorously said. All for one, they were fighting this threat together.
Eventually, Edward had run out of breath and was forced to stop, leaning against a brick wall to his right side as everyone passed him by, being sure to get in quick enough to avoid any gunfire from any of the conflicts happening from seemingly everywhere. Luckily enough for all of them, this area was clear of firefights, and for a second, Edward started to think of this as a way out, but in knowing that Green would easily disagree, he decided not to risk it.
And indeed, Green was prepared to do so if said Toa of Earth were to do this at all. Deep down, he couldn't help but feel like they were still needed. Like it was their DESITNY to help their new found friends regardless of the cost, just like Gahu had. For Green also knew that Gahu hadn't just died for the Toabots, but for the amazing salvation given by Jesus, smiling as he died. Green clutched the handle of his pistol harder now, deciding that this was who he was going to be while he was out on this battlefield right here and now. Not just a friend, and not just a helper but as someone who would be more than willing to fight harder now for his friends than before.
Edward turned curiously to the other Toa then, looking closely to make sure everyone was still with him, and even asking for extra assurance: "You guys still with me"?
"Yeah"., Green told him, followed then by a series of nods and murmurs of agreement.
And indeed, everyone was still there, just like Edward had hoped. Of course Green was there., Edward thought. By now, that seemed like it'd be a little too obvious for him to miss or think opposite of it had he not been. And luckily, so were Angela, Golden, Pow and Maze. Edward let out a sigh of relief then, along with a short chuckle. Green looked curiously at Edward as he had then started to go into a storm of laughter.
"What's so funny"?, Maze asked him, remembering full well that there were barely any times of which Edward had EVER laughed.
Edward grinned to him, responding: "All of this seems rather risky, doesn't it"? "I mean, our best chance of defense are completely outnumbered, we're outmatched by the common enemy, and at the same time WE of all people have been trusted to guard a relic that could ruin our entire world".
Edward continued his laughter, starting to sound a little hopeless in his said laughter as he then fell onto his bottom, his back against the wall. And then, Edwards face looked as if it were filled with fear as he looked down at the ground, still with laughter, which for once seemed to make the others feel pity for him. Clearly he thought it'd be wise to fear these Makutacons. They were better than all of these Bionicles in every way. In a way Green couldn't even blame him, but despite the sight, Green had still made his decision fair and square. And there would NOT be any turning back.
Suddenly, Pow's eyes widened as he noticed something not too far away from them. Maze followed Pow's gaze, also noticing the black piece of chest armor and the codak blaster that sat together, sort of like somebody had set it up that way. Maze made a short lived grin then, thinking of all the things he could do with these two small pieces of high tech and heavily armored equipment. This grin was short lived because as of right now, there was close to no time to waste. If they were going to pick a time to help out with this war, it had to be now.
"Hey Edward"?, Pow asked. Upon then looking down at Edward who had almost immediately followed his gaze. "See that piece of chest armor"? "If it's good enough, then it's something we could definitely use".
Edward looked silently up at him for a few seconds, then saying: "Well, what's with the hold up then"? "Someone get it before something else tries to kill us today"!
"I'll get it"., Golden yelled, then making a run for the said objects just a few feet across from them.
Almost immediately, Angela felt like stopping him, like something about this armor just wasn't right. And though Green wasn't sure why, he felt the same way. There was just SOMETHING about these things that made every part of his mind exclaim hazard. And if there indeed WAS a reason to feel this suspicious, and things DID start to go as ugly as his gut was telling him, well Green was going to have to deal with it when it came, keeping both hands on the handle of his pistol, readying himself for anything.
But just a few seconds later, Green and Angela both saw Golden stop dead in his tracks and shake a bit as if in a horrifying realization. OK, NOW Green was worried. Though he couldn't really see whatever Golden saw, he knew it couldn't be anything good. And indeed it had become more evident to the others as Golden had started to slowly back away. But just was Golden looking at right now? Well, to be truthful, it wasn't there to help them.
"It's a Makutacon"!, Golden screamed, then turning and running as fast as he could to the others.
"GOLDEN"!, Green screamed, then pointing a pistol at the immediately transforming form across from them.
This things transformation was quicker than that of the others, a thin black, scale-like snake-body revealing itself between both the chest armor, with a single blue eye that was already giving a glare that could've killed millions, and the codak blaster, a hook-blade forming on the top of said blaster, making the end of a tail, composing of a codak blaster/ stinger weapon. The cobra-like Makutacon let out a screech of rage then, aiming its codak-tail at Golden, with the intention of blowing him to pieces.
"Cover fire"!, Pow screamed, shooting at Savage (the Makutacon) and distracting his attention away from the boy, instead firing codak bullets at the Toa at a machine-gun pace as Golden had finally made his way to Green who had started firing off shots as well, unwilling to let these things hurt any more friends.

Billy was jumping from rooftop to rooftop now, being sure to be careful enough as to not bring any attention towards himself. That was the current job of his allies. For as long as possible, he'd need them to make sure they drawed all attention away from their lead-Toa as he decided to give another shot at following the advice of Glatorian Ackar, study your opponent, find his weakness, and use it against him in the best way possible.
But as for Outilisa, Robert and Ops, they were becoming increasingly worried. Every second now, at least one or two of them was having to dodge something. A claw, a tail, a mouth, a poisonous blast of energy, neither of those being easy to dodge. To say the least, this felt like playing ultimate dodge-ball with a side game of don't die by the Scorpio while doing so.
Outilisa fired a shot at Scorpios left side, then ducking as Scorpio shot a poison shot in her direction with a venomous hiss. Robert created a storm of lightning, shocking it in several places. Just like expected, nothing but a roar in annoyance. Ops shifted both of his forearms into blasters, firing intensely at said Makutacon. Another road and a charge straight in his direction. Ops transformed to truck mode, speeding quickly out of the way of the large scorpion that came crashing through the wall behind him.
Driving as fast as he could now away from the chase-giving Scorpio, Ops messaged: "Billy, I REALLY hope you have a plan up there, cause this is getting us nowhere".
And as Billy watched Scorpio give chase after one of his best friends, he began to worry greatly, thinking himself stupid now for even considering to put these guys in the line of fire. Sure, they were Toa and it was their duty to fight the things that Matoran couldn't, but it didn't exactly change the fact they were still a little in over their heads for fighting a threat that THEY couldn't' manage to beat. Now, in utter fear, he prayed: Dear Lord, PLEASE, help me find SOMETHING. ANYTHING.
Just then as Billy opened his eyes, he had widened them in amazement. He finally found it! As his eyes looked at the unaware optics of Scorpio's scorpion mode, he realized that he had in fact been over-thinking this. Instead of looking at the places where there was no armor, he had been searching the armor itself for something as simple as a rusty area. But despite how dumb he now felt, his prayer was still answered. And he thanked The Lord greatly before then taking out a sword he hadn't used in a long time. One that if aimed right, could also shoot metal arrows.
"Don't worry my friend, I just made one"., Billy told him with a grin.
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Armor di8dn't get this. His fight against two Makutacons alone had been going so well, and now he was getting thrown around by the Helicopter of stone? Sure, he might have made one too many insults, but it wasn't like Shut Down didn't deserve them or anything of that such. Armor barely ever made rude remarks towards someones height unless A.) they were a Makutacon, or B.) they were a little full of themselves. And this one was a bit of both, so he almost wasn't sure what else to say, other than: "You're so tall, I could just trip you and you'd knock over the Washington Monument while you fell".
Then again, maybe it was just because Shut Down took his side and their ideals in this war very seriously. Well, at least this was something the two had in COMMON. Even now the two warriors continued to clash, breaking off a few pieces of each others armor, getting shots in their shoulders, all that mess. Right now, Shut down was spinning towards Armor, the wings on his back pointing out like two sharpened blades, ready to shred anything in their path.
Armor simply started firing shots at him, only for the wings to then start spinning and block the shots with ease. Armor ducked and rolled forward as Shut Down spun his shredder wings, getting up behind his in a crouched down position. As quickly as he could then, he jumped up into the air and spun himself, hitting Shut Down hard on the back and knocking him forward into a brick wall, catching him completely off guard.
Armor ran to him quickly, slamming him hard where-ever he could with his two metal blasters, almost managing to then knock him on his knees as he knocked and then shot a left wing off of his back, clattering away from them as Armor continued his attack, desperate to get this fight over and done with. But before Armor expected it, Shut Down ducked away from a hit then spinning himself around to face Armor, swinging the spinning rotor weapon on his right arm, of which Armor quickly turned to his elemental power to take care of this about to be blood bath.
The rotor weapon broke into pieces as it mare impact with an Iron left shoulder, leaving nothing but the platform it had originally been on. In rage then, Shut Down shot Armor's iron body with his rifle, knocking him back into a brick wall. Shut Down grinned at this. Sure, this guy had the ability to cover himself with his own elemental ability, but that only meant the Toabots EXTERIOR was protected. Throw or shoot him enough times, and he was sure to puncture an organ sooner or later. Either way, things were taking a rather positive turn on his side. Especially as he then noticed that Armor was trapped, trying to pull himself out of the tight spot in the wall.
Reloading his rifle then for the fun he was about to have, Shut Down walked closer towards the helpless Toabot who still hadn't ceased his struggle. Armor noticed Shut Down approaching with a glare as he tried quicker now than before to just get himself out. Was he afraid? Heck no, he wasn't afraid of ANY Makutacon, or if did, this would be one that he feared least. But the fact that Shut Down was about to go rough on him while he couldn't do anything. Well THAT just really ticked him off.
Just nearly there, Shut Down said: "You fought well Toabot, believe it or not, you've lasted longer against me than most". "So as much as it pains me to put down a rival who's FINALLY a match for me, I'm gonna have to kill you". "Sorry, Killers orders".
"You sure you don't want to at least give me a hand so we can continue"?, Armor taunted.
Shut Down looked thoughtful for a second, saying: "You know what, that's REALLY tempting". Then pointing his rifle at Armors head with a grin, saying: "But I think not".
Indeed, Armor wanted to get out of this darned hole and beat the living crap out of this sick Makutacon, but no matter how much he struggled or how hard he tried, he just couldn't seem to remove himself. It felt not at all terrifying, this was a cause he was more than willing to die for, even if the innocents were a little irritating sometimes. But to die NOW, because he had gotten stuck in wall was a little too embarrassing of a death to want.
Quickly, Armor lowered his head and silently prayed: Lord, for whatever I have done, please forgive me. And if I DO have to die soon, please don't let me do so like this. Suddenly, Armor jumped at the sound of a gunshot, almost wondering if Shut Down has killed him already. But then... why didn't he feel any different? Immediately he opened his eyes, expecting right now to see the barrel of Shut Down's rifle still in his face. Instead, Armor widened his eyes upon the sight of a surprised Shut Down looking down at a gaping and bleeding hole in his chest.
Shut Down let out a short grunt then, before slowly turning around and stuttering: "Y-y...YOU"?, before collapsing onto the ground and surprising Armor as he then saw War Machine standing just a few feet away, glaring down at the Makutacon as he died on the concrete ground.
Once he was sure that Shut Down was actually dead, War Machine grinned up at still confused Armor then walking up in front of his trapped form and offering his left hand, asking: "Need a little help there fellow Toabot"?
Armor looked a bit confused at War Machine as he then decided to just grab his left hand with his right one. Armor still wasn't so sure that he trusted this guy yet, but regardless of whether or not this was a trick, at least he'd be out of this stupid hole in the wall, and back into SOME form of action. Almost immediately, War Machine tugged Armor out of the hole with utmost ease, offering an arm for support as Armor nearly collapsed to the ground from the force of the pull.
Just as Armor was back up on his feet then, he looked curiously at War Machine, asking: "Fellow Toabot"?
War Machine nodded, replying: "Yeah, didn't my brother tell you that I was a double agent for the Toabots"?
Armor shook his head no.
"Meh, at least you know NOW"., War Machine responded with a bit of a shrug. "Plus, I'm a Prime, and even though Killer is our brother too, I'm still more than willing to fight with the side that does so for honor". "Also, didn't you notice how often I was missing"? "I'm not THAT bad of a shot".
Armor just looked to him with a grin, responding: "I WAS wondering about that actually". "After all, what's the point of having all of those weapons on you if you don't know how to use them"?
Armor and War Machine both shared a laugh before then turning towards a loud crashing sound, seeing Rack fly just far ahead of them through a building, Brawn running inside almost immediately afterwords. War Machine looked wide eyed to Armor then, in almost complete disbelief.
"Rack of all Toabots fighting Brawn"?, He asked. "THAT can't end good".
Armor grinned over at War Machine, offering a bro-fist before replying: "Why don't we give him a little help then"?
War Machine returned the grin with his own, lightly hitting the fist and then following Armor as he headed towards their location, both at a running pace.

Liking the action so far? Well, guess what? Things are about to get better from here. As I type this, Galem and I have agreed to start typing the rest of this novel together as co-writers. And so far, it's been a lot of fun. But don't just take my words for it. Instead, let's hear what Galem herself has to say.
Galem: Hello, Bioformer readers! My name is Galem and, as Biomarvel has just told you, I will be joining him as co-writer in the Bioformers universe. I am very excited about this.
Biomarvel: I myself was overjoyed when we first decided to help each other out, and even now it's been a real blessing.
Galem: Indeed it has. I look forward to the many adventures ahead and seeing where they take us.
Biomarvel: As do I. :0) Now let's each introduce one of own characters, mine being Toa Billy, lead-Toa of the Toa Voya. And hers being Toa Tali, leader of the... What is this team called?
Galem: the Toa Rahayu
Biomarvel: Nice.
Billy: You know what, I'm starting to like these guys already. At least their name sounds better than ours, and we're not even from Voya Nui.
Tali: Thanks, Billy. We came up with it after a week of being a team.
Billy: Really? That must've been quite a week then.
Biomarvel: (laughs)
Billy: And because of how good my team did on the board, we were almost called the Toa Ultimates, but it didn't sound right.
Galem: Yeah, that actually sounds kinda off.
Tali: Agreed, Toa Voya has a better ring to it.
Billy: Yeah.
Biomarvel: Ok, so why don't you tell us a little about yourself, like how was your life growing up or what brought you and those other Toa together?
Tali: Well, (pauses to think) Ava and I have been friends since middle school. Amber was my roommate in Uni and again in Academy where Ava joined us. Later on, about six months, was it? ( looks to Galem)
Galem: Seven months.
Tali: Seven months, we met up with Alyan who was constantly being picked on because he was blind. The girls and I took it upon ourselves to help him and we began to see him as our younger brother.
Billy: Well that was really nice of you guys.
Biomarvel: (looks to Billy) Did you really just call them guys?
Billy: Gals. Anyways, both of my parents were murdered when I was young, leaving me to later be adopted by a couple other Toa who also adopted Pow and Robert. We later ran into Maze and Edward, then when we grew into Toa. Then I ran into Outilisa, both of us secretly obsessed with each other. We ran into Ops, then Matoro came into our lives and he absolutely changed every one of us in so many ways. He was everything good that we weren't.
Biomarvel: He usually gets pretty emotional when he gets on this subject. Tali, do you have a special someone in your life, or anybody you think likes you?
Tali: (blushes fiercely) uh..um..I...(looks over) Help?
Galem: (tries unsuccessfully to hide her laughs) You're on your own for this one.
Tali: Maybe, but I'm not sure if he likes me back.
Biomarvel: Aw, so you like somebody. (Jokingly) Well, if he's smart I'm sure he likes you too.
Tali: (ducks her head) um...th...thanks.
Billy: Don't worry He's not flirting with you. He has close to no romantic participations with any of us.
Biomarvel: And my self-MOC already has a girlfriend.
Billy: While we're still on the topic, I'm actually happily married to as I recently discovered, a Bioformer.
Galem: Interesting. Tali is the same way. She has no romantic participation's either. She kept herself pure her entire life, waiting for the one the Lord has chosen for her.
Tali: Galem!
Biomarvel: I actually don't disagree with that decision.
Billy: Yeah, I was the same way. You have nothing to be embarrassed over.
Tali: I'm not embarrassed, it's just...
Galem: No, Tali, they're right. You don't have to be embarrassed of choosing a pure life. Both my parents chose it and even I have chosen it myself. So relax.
Billy: Yeah, it's the right choice for everybody. And take a piece of advice my foster parents gave me, if you know you love someone, go after them. And if they say no, it's their loss.
Biomarvel: Yeah, even Joey knew it.
Tali: Who's Joey?
Biomarvel: Oh he's somebody who gives Fireman his gadgets. And the main character for my third novel.
Galem: Oh, cool.
Tali: Nice.
Biomarvel: Well, any questions you have for US?
Galem: Yes, actually. Tali and I were talking early and she brought up something.
Tali: Billy, is there anyone in your team who is good at archery? I'm looking for someone to team up with in training.
Billy: Well there's Maze, but his is more of a gun. I have a sword given to me by my foster dad that can shoot arrows.
Tali: (looks confused) um, how exactly does that work?
Billy: I don't know the mechanics, but it has a slot inside that will shoot the arrow if I press a button on the handle.
Biomarvel: Maybe you two should compete in archery in the form of old vs new.
Galem: I'd be interested to see that. What do you think, Tali?
Tali: I like that idea. What do you say, Billy?
Billy: Consider it a match.
Biomarvel: You know what, why don't we use it for a scene in Bioformers 2.
Billy: Part 1 or part 2?
Biomarvel: I'm cool with either one.
Galem: Tali?
Tali: I'm thinking Part 2. That way, it could be like a break from the fighting. Would that be alright, Biomarvel?
Biomarvel: That'd actually be good.
Tali: (smiles) Wonderful. Well then...
Galem: Whoa, hold on there, girl. I still have a question for Biomarvel. What inspired you to write the Bioformers?
Biomarvel: Well I guess I'd have to say I had two inspirations. One of them being both the Bionicles and Transformers in General. And the second being what my mind gave me when I thought, what if I made something like this, something both interesting and entertaining, and then it hit me: Bioformers and I've actually built a bunch of them growing, I've actually gotten a bunch of my ideas from my childhood. But what really inspired me to write it the way it is, that one and Fireman, is the fact that there are almost no Christian Bionicle novels on here. That and the fact that when I looked at these stories one day, I actually found God working his way through them, and that I think was when I decided to shout the name of The Lord to all people on this website who were fans of both universes regardless of whether or not they were Christians. Cause, at least Im spreading the word through the creativity that God gave me.
Tali: Didn't you start a Christain Transformers fic several years ago, Galem?
Galem: (smiles) oh, yeah. I still remember it. Thank you for writing these stories, Biomarvel. They have really helped me in returning to my roots.
Biomarvel: You're always welcome. :0)
Billy: Well, is that it or is there anything else?
Galem: Not that I know of. Tali?
Tali: That was all my questions.
Biomarvel: Alright then. (Looks to readers) We thank you all for reading, please have as Lord blessed day.
Galem: God bless!
