Lego owns Bionicle, along with the names Ketongu and Jala, and Hasbro owns transformers. Everything else in this story is mine.

Chapter 32: Company
Just a ways away from the council base, Turaga Jala leaned irritatingly against a meta wall, REALLY feeling like he needed some time away from the other Turaga. Jala scoffed. Other FOOLS was more like it. But regardless of whatever decisions the other Turaga made, no way he was going to trust any of those so called Toabots. Not right now at least. Though he'd never admit it to the others though, he was in fact starting to wonder if he had been wrong.
Judging from the way Paradox's arm-blades had looked like they had been forged, they were clearly made for Bioformers of lightning. Yet while Edward (AKA, the only Toa he felt like he could trust right now), was busy pointing a pistol with a thornaxx straight at the Toabot, Paradox never attaced them, like he would've rather died on his knees than fought back. Heck, Paradox had even ripped off his sword, preventing him from defending himself should something happen, and his wings as if to say: I know I'm in severe amounts of danger just by standing here, but one of you will have to find a snowball in a fire-village before I let you all remain blind.
Jala shook his head and silently laughed to himself. There was just no way that these Toabots wanted peace if they had considered bringing weapons in the first place. But then again, one could still give the argument that said weapons were only meant for the mapotafons or whatever this other side preferred to call themselves. But then again, it wasn't like there could've been a possible antichrist in the group. Of course by that, he wasn't talking about the literal antichrist, just the metaphorical ones. Or did the bible really mention only one antichrist? He never COULD seem to figure that out.
Then deciding to take his mind off of that matter until said time should actually happen, he decided to direct his attention towards the sound of a vehicle engine and saw a rather wide red and black track with claws for a bumper, which seemed to drive closer and closer towards the closed, cross-wired front gates. Jala nearly rolled his eyes then as he started walking angrily towards the front gates, not at all caring about the fact that this truck was starting to increase it's speed.
This thing was driving on what to normal races should've been considered illegal property. And by illegal property, he meant that it was illegal for anyone without a security plate to drive anywhere in the parking lot. Not only that, but the very fact that this thing was driving towards the entrance was even dumber. The cross-wired fence had at least a few thousand volts of electricity flowing through it. Anyone who touched it would be lucky not to instantly catch fire. Seriously!, Jala thought. Why can't it just be the smart people who have a license approved to them?!
Then pointing his fire stick in the trucks direction, he angrily shouted: "You"! "You're not supposed to be here"! "Get off this property now, or that fence will kill you before any of US get a chance to"!
But almost immediately after that was said, the vehicle let out an angry growl and the bottom of it lifted the rest of it onto a muscular set of red and black legs that literally jumped over this said fence as the rest of the vehicle continued to transform. The doors flipped out becoming a muscular set of red and black arms, the green hood and clawed bumper lifted up and flipped in front of the Bioformer, forming two extra arms armed with a set of claws. Finally, as the massive Makutacon landed in front of the unsuspecting Turaga of fire, a head flipped up, revealing a rather infuriated looking green face (Krana Su) that glared down at said Turaga with glowing red eyes.
Jala nearly fell on his back in fear upon seeing this monstrosity in front of him. If it wasn't enough of a problem that this thing was a Makutacon, then it definitely was that said Bioformer had FOUR arms. And from the looks of him, an attitude that wasn't going to be stopped with any amount of mental therapy. Jala looked around himself then for any Toa who might be nearby, but all he saw was a few drones that were not too far away much to his luck. But as said drones started to shoot at this Makutacon, the bullets only seemed to do a sum total of nothing.
Instead, Suppressor turned angrily to these said drones, transforming his left arm into a flamethrower and screaming like a maniac as he pulled the trigger at these drones, melting one in the air. Another exploded, another simply shut down and fell to the ground, shattering in pieces. Jala just stood there in terror, unable to move as this makutacon simply let out a long maniacal laugh upon shooting and easily disposing of each drone that came.
Next, a few armored Toa ran forward, shooting relentlessly at Suppressor who just turned, not even looking stunned as he just shot at them with this same flamethrower, burning the armor right off of them and laughing as he heard them scream in intense pain. Jala didn't even TRY to look at what he already knew would be a horrific sight. Next to the fact that this thing was seemingly unbeatable, the sound of Toa screaming and burning was almost too much for him to want to stand.
"Die, die DIEEEEEEEEEE"!, Suppressor screamed as he continued pulling the trigger with a maniacal set of laughter.

Just at the front of the Turaga base, Paradox could hear all of this screaming and instantly looked towards the horrific sight a far distance away of Toa burning and Jala slowly backing away and trying his best to keep his eyes away from the Toa in pain. But the more Paradox stared at this, the angrier it made him. It made him sick and it made him wish that it was him instead of these other innocent toa. But something that concerned Paradox more was whoever was holding the flamethrower.
As much as he wanted to stop everyone's pain, he couldn't bring himself to do it until he knew who this was, for regardless of what the sin be, he couldn't bring himself to kill a Bionicle or a transformer or even a human. They were all in more trouble right now than they could realize. Even Green looked horrified as he caught sight or this. Paradox took a moment then to look down at Green as he saw this, immediately putting his right blade in front of Greens eyes.
"Look away Green, this is not something you need to see unless you wish to fight a war"., Paradox told him.
Green looked back up at Paradox as he just stared ahead into the flames, eventually catching a seconds sight of the grinning face behind the flames. The green face of a merciless Makutacon of fire. This one, Paradox knew based on his profile as one who loved his own element so much, it made him the equivalent of a human pyromaniac. And he was so much of one in this war that almost everyone knew this Makutacons name.
"Suppressor"., Paradox said.
Tilting his head, Green asked: "What"?
"A Makutacon of fire"., Paradox told him. "One who would only love to watch the world burn". Then activating his wings and surging lightning into his arm blades, Paradox looked back down to Green, saying: "Go find Ketongu". "I will take him".
Instead, Green gave Paradox a look of protest and responded: "Paradox, I can help you". "Just tell me what to do, and I'll-"
"No Green"., Paradox calmly told him. "These Makutacons are too dangerous for you and if they spot you, they will not give a seconds hesitation to kill you". Then glaring ahead at the Makutacon far ahead of him, he said: "And I will do all I can to make sure that this one burns no more innocents". "He's burned his last".
With that being said, Paradox tilted himself downwards and allowed the thrusters in his wings to carry him towards the Makutacon while he surged his blades with a blue lightning, then raising them as he made sure to try his best to aim as he got closer and closer towards the laughing Makutacon. This had to end. And it had to end now.
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Finally, Suppressor decided that these Toa's corpses had had enough as he then lowered his flame thrower, and looked quickly over to his left side at the Turaga of Fire who had somehow managed to grab a rifle in all of the chaos. Then giving Jala a mischievous grin, he changed his left arm back into a normal arm and cracked his knuckles as he approached the Fire-turaga with slow footsteps, all four of them, deciding to have a little fun with this one before killing him.
Immediately aiming the rifle at the slowly approaching Makutacon, Jala warned: "Get away"! "I know how to use this"!
Suppressor kept approaching, letting out a short chuckle before then saying: "Regardless, I'm sure it's been made clear that that thing won't do anything to me". "And now, I'm going to crush you like the maggot you are"!
Jala glared up at him, screaming: "Maggot"?!
Suppressor quickly swung a claw underneath both of the Turagas legs, causing him to fall on his back as he lost grip of the rifle, one of Suppressors other arms catching it in midair. As pain sten surged through the Fire-turaga's back, he glared up at Suppressor as he face came closer towards his with a slow and angry breath.
"Yes you slime fudge"!, Suppressor growled "I know what you've been told about us, that we're just a small army of murderers, but you exiled us, betrayed us and spat in out faces when you knew dang well we wouldn't be a threat to you"! "And WE'RE the evil ones"?
Jala's eyes widened as he now realized the difference between the Toabots and the Makutacons. Paradox was actually what he had told himself to be. For while this one had just arrived and tried his hardest to kill everyone around, paradox had actually been peaceful, not making ONE movement to attack them. Regardless of the reasons Suppressor had just stated, Paradox had surrendered to THEM instead of trying to kill them. Jala just closed his eyes in defeat then, realizing that he had been wrong this entire time to try and support Edward's blind and false ideals, making a prayer for The Lord to forgive him.
Refusing to wait for Jala to finish, Suppressor just growled: "But no more". "Now, we WILL become what you've always feared us to be, your death".
Then raising his claws for a slashing pound-down, he stared down deeper into Jala's face, waiting for him to open his eyes before he would actually strike him. But even as Jala finished that prayer, he kept his eyes closed, realizing that his death was near and that this prayer was the only thing he could manage in this final minute. For surely, after everything he had done, not even Paradox would come to his rescue.
But then, as Suppressor was starting to lose patience, and Jala waited for his approaching death, both of them heard a loud and quickly approaching: "NOOOO"!
Suppressor turned quickly in the direction of the scream, being too slow to react as he saw Paradox's flying form make a hard impact with him, knocking them both a distance away from the Turaga who had immediately opened his eyes and looked in the direction of a brief crashing sound. He widened his eyes in surprise as he caught sight of the two forms that now stood in front of each other with an intense glare, PARADOX standing in Jala's direction in a protective stance. Jala almost couldn't believe this. Just HOW could it be that this Toabot was so willing to protect him like this, regardless of everything he had done?
Jala was too stunned to move as the two then ran at each other. Suppressor swung a left claw at Paradox who quickly blocked it with a right arm-blade, then bring up his right elbow to make a hard impact with Suppressor's face, which let out a growl as he then moved swiftly to his right as Paradox spun himself, his left arm-blade narrowly missing him. Suppressor then swung a right fist, missing Paradox's face and then bringing up a left armored foot to make a hard impact with Paradox's chin, nearly knocking him off of his feet and giving Suppressor enough of a distraction to grab Paradox by the back of the neck with his right arm, and lifting him up with the intent to throw him into the electric fence behind himself.
This plan quickly became flawed when Suppressor let out a scream in pain upon then noticing Paradox shoving his left arm-blade into the same arm Suppressor had used to grab him, a purple fluid leaking quickly out of the wound. More specifically into the elbow, penetrating the bone. But none the less, Suppressor let out a growl as he then spun himself fast enough for Paradox to still be in the air as he threw him into the fence, his right arm coming off as well.
In a short howl of pain, Suppressor put a metal bandage on the remaining part of his arm, intending to get it replaced later. Then he looked quickly at Paradox's form that seemed to hang on the fence as electricity surged relentlessly through his body. This alone would've made Suppressor smile if he didn't also notice the fact that Paradox wasn't screaming in pain. But why?, he wondered. Almost Immediately, a terrifying realization hit him.
You idiot!, Suppressor thought to himself as he then remembered the fact that Paradox was a Toabot of lightning. All this was going to do was make him stronger! And indeed, Paradox felt power surge through him as the fence had started to malfunction and send sparks flying everywhere as it finally failed and let Paradox fall back onto the ground, landing on his feet and glaring ahead at the Makutacon who simply braced himself, shifting his left arm back into a flamethrower as he noticed Paradox's blades glow a bright yellow.
After a few seconds then, Paradox charged and Suppressor tried his best to defend himself, shooting his flame thrower and hitting Paradox with success, then letting go of the trigger, only to see Paradox jump harmlessly through the fire the next second. Suppressor quickly swung forward then with both of his left arms, but Paradox rolled under both of them, using his left arm-blade to slice through Suppressors clawed left arm, purple liquid spilling from the wound.
Paradox quickly stood from behind Suppressors current position, readying himself for whatever fight Suppressor would offer. Suppressor paid no attention to the leaking wound, spinning and swinging his left clawed arm at Paradox. Paradox blocked this with his left arm-blade, then spinning left so his left wing would make a distracting impact to Suppressor's face. And seconds before Suppressor could react, Paradox shoved both of his arm-blades through Suppressor's chest, causing Suppressor to then fall to his knees as purple blood leaked from the massive wound in his chest.
Then, as Suppressor looked angrily up at Paradox, the life fading from his own eyes, Paradox just glared back, saying: "Know now that as long as the Toabots breathe, we will never let you harm any innocent soul". "Especially not the soul of one who can easily be forgiven"., then pulling both blades from Suppressor's chest and allowing him to fall onto the ground, dead at his feet.
Then, as Paradox turned concernedly towards the Fire-turaga, he noticed Jala staring up at him in a visible form of amazement. For how amazed he indeed was, that this Toabot had even bothered to try and save him at all, again after everything he had done. That Makutacon was right, the council HAD made a terrible mistake out of exiling the Bioformer race out of fear. Yet Paradox had done all in his power to make sure that this Turaga ended up ok, regardless of what they did. Now, Jala truly believed that the Toabots were not any sort of threat.
Paradox then turned to his right as several Toa and autobots immediately approached them, raising their weapons at the Toabot leader and shouting: "Get down on the ground"! "Take off your weapons or we will open fire"!
"Stop"!, Jala instantly yelled, then getting back up on his feet as the Toa and Autobots all looked to him in confusion, not at all aware of anything that had just happened. Then, walking in between both Paradox and the squad of Toa and Autobots and taking a look at the still bleeding corpse of the Makutacon, before looking back up at Paradox with a grin, saying: "This Bioformer is a Toabot, and he is on our side".
Each Toa and Autobot immediately understood what had happened and glad-fully lowered their weapons, giving a few nods in apology before then approaching the dead Makutacon and dragging the corpse out of sight, and extinguishing the fire on the dead or injured Toa as quickly as they possibly could. As they were busy with these matters, Paradox looked back down at the Ta-Turaga who was now looking up at him as if he were a friend.
"Thank you Turaga Jala"., Paradox told him.
"Nah"., Jala responded, then lending out a right hand to shake. "Thank you for all you've done today".
Paradox returned Jalas smile with one of his own and glad-fully grabbed Jala's extended hand with his left hand, taking no hesitation in shaking it. But both broke their handshake as they then heard a siren and turned to the sight of a Thorrnatus v48, being driven by Pow and with two backseats holding Edward and Maze, and being followed by Ketongu's two seater form, holding inside Green, Angela (who once again sat in his lap), and Golden. It was more than evident to all of them at this point, that the war of Earth, was about to begin.
Jala directed his attention back to Paradox, asking him: "What will we do now"?
Paradox turned to Jala, looking kindly down to him as he said: "The Toa Voya, Toabots and I will finish things from here". "You and the rest of the Turaga are still needed". Then looking to the other Toa and Autobots, Paradox told them: "The rest of you, protect these Turaga with your lives to honor these brave Toa's deaths".
Everyone gave him a nod and a few gave him smiles, all doing the best they could now to be sure that they would always return this brave leaders compassion and kindness with their own respect. Paradox smiled back at them, now becoming thankful that The Lord had come into him through the Holy Spirit to make the changes that he and everyone else here had made today. Now in return, he would do his best to fight for their freedom and their forgiveness, even if it meant dying in the process. For if he were to die for a cause like this, he believed that it would be the most honorable death he could possibly wish for.
But as Paradox was about to take off, but stopped as he then heard Jala say: "Hey, before you go, I'd just like to say that I'm sorry for what I did to you". "I know now more than ever that I was wrong to accuse you of anything and I AM deeply sorry for that". "Expect to hear a sorry from me every time we cross paths again". "But I'm also sorry for what I did to my son". "You think you can tell my son I said that, and also that I love him"?
Paradox turned to Jala with a kind compassionate look as he responded: "I will do just that". "And do not worry about any more apologies from this day forward". "I'll always forgive you".
Paradox turned back to his allies then, reverting himself into his Plane transformation before then taking off, hovering over the road for the thorrnatus and Ketongu to follow him as he left for the battle to came, leaving behind an amazed group of Toa, Autobots and a single Turaga who watched them leave with a grin. As they then disappeared from his view, he lowered his head, asking that regardless of what was to happen next, The Lord would be with them for the rest of their days.

The war for the fate of the world starts next chapter guys... sort of. LOL. BTW, I might have left a spoiler for my last Fanfiction novel (which will probably typed when I'm in my forties considering all of the other novels I'm going to type before that) in this fanfiction universe, which yes will be about the book of revelations in the Bible, plus a team of heroes to help fight the battle. Also, what do you think of the story so far? Be sure to tell me in the form of a review or PM and please, have a Lord-blessed day! :0)
