User blog:Keplers/Insanity (In Other Words, ALL My BIONICLE Stories Here)

For everyone to enjoy, if you have the freaking time required to read them all. These short stories are ~one page long each, and because Chronicles of Tanon is fourteen pages, I am putting it in a separate blog. Enjoy!

Warlord
The warlord stared out the window and smiled. Those Toa were good. Sure, they would drag him back to where he belonged, but they knew how to fight. They decimated his army.

So he sent more out. And laughed. He had to know their names, before they were rid of him. He had to. This began when the dictator did what many dictators generally do- oppress the populace. It was a bunch of Matoran, for Mata Nui's sake. They were ubiquitous enough to lose a few. That's what expendable means.

Obviously this group of Toa thought otherwise. They were only five in number but were a thousand in strength. So far they had torn their way into his kingdom, annihilated his border guard, vaporized his mile-wide moat, frozen his lava pools, bent and crumpled his protosteel gates, and literally blown away some of his guards. Last he saw, they were fighting their way through the square towards the palace courtyard and-- ah, in fact, there they come now, picking off the elite guards on the roof. That had fire launchers. Well, now that the sniper threats are destroyed, they'll be after the maniacs with Earth R-- already have, you can tell because the screaming stopped. And after this they get to take care of the High Guard with his double-bladed sword and his indestructible armo-- Crack. Well, all good beings of hate and destruction must come to an end. They'll be barging in the door now. Here they come. And now they arrest me.

The Warlord was sentenced to the Pit for life and died during the Great Cataclysm. The only people who remember him now are the four Turaga of Ova Nui, who arrested him just before the Time Slip. And they usually forget him amidst more important things.

Renegade
They found me. The news is out. They finally found me, after all these years.
 * The renegade.
 * I thought they would never discover me, the Renegade Toa. I left my team long ago and stole valuable items from all around the village. All they found were the footprints from my steed.
 * I wandered across the universe for ages, robbing and stashing my loot away. Toa, Vahki, island authorities, even the Brotherhood of Makuta were after me, all with no luck. Even Artakha, it is said, had taken an interest in my whereabouts and specially equipped Matoran to locate and destroy me, then bring my remains back to him so he could make me more fitting for his needs.
 * I was hated and feared everywhere.
 * Everyone ran from and payed reluctant tribute to my daggers and Komau.
 * They had to.
 * The beginning of the successful search began two years ago, when a team of five Toa, Iron, Air, Lightning, Ice, and Fire, got a lead on my whereabouts from a Matoran I had spared after he emptied his shelter of goods. All he said was that I had left in a certain direction, but even only this was enough for that group of Toa.
 * They managed to find my hideout and raid it, taking most of the bounty. I returned in the middle of it, and we had a skirmish. I then managed to get the Fire Toa and held him hostage. After a brief standoff, they gave in and left.
 * From there, they began tracking me, finding patterns in my thievery, locating potential targets, and questioning Matoran on which direction I headed in after the robberies. With this information, they could tell what I was stealing and have a general idea on where my hideout was.
 * It was clever, but I knew that they were doing it and led them towards a trap filled with Manas and several Hoto bugs. I'm sure they got good practice out of that, if not a lesson to make sure everything was safe before entering an area clearly not inhabited by anyone for decades.
 * But still they found me. I wish I knew how.
 * We had a short fight and I injured their leader, but the others would not give up. One must admire their loyalty. Unfortunately I wasn't so loyal.
 * They're getting ready now, preparing everything. They dragged me back to their dreaded headquarters on some secret island and held some trial. Just a matter of minutes.
 * I didn't do anything I believe is right or wrong. I did what I did. I don't see why they can't see that as well.
 * I don't deserve this. They caught me. I wouldn't be stupid enough to do this again.
 * Your trial doesn't prove anything. Release me. This was a mistake. It had to have been.
 * Just a few more minutes. ..
 * Why do they do this to me? A Pit sentence was not even considered.
 * Just five more minutes. ..
 * I know what I did.
 * Just one more minute. ..
 * It's over now. Haha, so they thought.
 * Just thirty seconds to go. Just use your sword already.
 * Stop looking at me like justice is served, Tanon. I stopped being a Toa long ago.
 * Just five more seconds.
 * And my world is over. Now I can finally--
 * And thus ended the Renegade Toa.
