Chapter 7: Thinking with Portals.
*the Matoran in a Black Suit picks up a strange device that is embedded in a car*
MiaBS: Hm. Looks like fod. Made by Kalk, don’t take it.
*he gets hit by a flying Furno, and a campy theme song begins to play*
*the six Toa walk out and start dancing like Chell in a pastry shop*
Pohatu: So I…uh….yeah.
*cut to everyone riding bikes*
Tahu: I loved her like the sun. It was the best day ever.
*Everyone stops at the stoplight (duh) and Boris Johnson stops next to them*
Boris Johnson: Hey. You! *points at Onua* Buttery. Biscuit. Base.
Onua: Challenge accepted.
*they look at each other, squinting their eyes in anger*
Lewa: This will not end well.
*Green light! Onua and Boris Johnson begin pedaling away, racing each other*
Tahu: This will not end well.
Lewa: That’s what I said.
*Onua and Boris Johnson crash into each other*
Onua: That did not end well.
Lewa: That’s what I said.
Boris Johnson: Blimey.
*Onua gets up, and walks up to the others*
Onua: So…erm…I think I need to go to the hospital.
Lewa: Yeah you do. *laughs, and sees something in the distance* Ooh, you guys go ahead, I have to go teach Furno something.
Gali: If “teaching” involves showing Furno how to hurt himself, I won’t allow it.
Onua: No, seriously, my leg is busted.
Kopaka: How does a strong super-powered half-mechanical half organic creature need to go to the hospital over a bicycle crash?
Onua: …..Shut up!
Pohatu: Okay, okay, no need to get your jimmies in a rustle. Let’s go, guys. *Pohatu grabs Onua by the collar, and drags him across the sidewalk while the Toa ride to the Hospital*
Furno: Doesn’t that…make his condition worse?
Lewa: Pohatu doesn’t take retirement-quitting well. Anyways, come with me!
*Lewa and Furno walk to a far off house, and enter it*
Furno: Aren’t we committing a crime?
Lewa: Trust me, I’m allowed in this house.
*flashback to Lewa knocking on the door, and someone yelling “Come in!”*
Furno: Really? That’s your excuse?
Lewa: You got a better one?
Furno: ….Nope.
*Lewa and Furno sneak through the elaborately decorated house, and hear singing coming from upstairs*
Lewa: I wonder who that is.
*he flies upstairs, then flies back downstairs almost immediately*
Lewa: Mata Nui….Brutaka is taking a shower. Thank goodness I did not look.
Furno: Can I s-
Lewa: HELL NO YOU CAN’T!
*he drags Furno away from the stairs*
*Lewa points Furno towards a golden shiny mask in the distance*
Lewa: That is the Olmak, mask of Dimensional Gates. It is used to travel all throughout space. Though Brutaka mostly uses it to go to the grocery store. We could take it just to mess with him!
Furno: You know…..if it’s so valuable, why would he leave it lying around?
Lewa: Because, I don’t know, no one ever thinks to steal things that are supposed to be props, or, I don’t know, a massive hulking warrior could rip them in half for stealing it!
Furno: And you want to make that very same warrior angry?
Lewa: One, it’s a prank, and two, since when are you the voice of reason?
Furno: Since I became the smartest person in the room.
Lewa: Wow. Just wow. No wonder Tahu hurts you. You’re an-
*someone is heard going down the stairs*
Lewa: Quick! Get the mask!
*they do so, and Lewa puts it over his*
*SUDDENLY, LEWA AND FURNO TELEPORT!*
Lewa: Um…where are we?
Furno: I…I don’t know.
*a theme begins to play*
Voice: My Little Pony, My Little Pony, AAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Lewa: what.
Voice: MY LITTLE PONY! I USED TO WONDER WHAT FRIENDSHIP COULD BE
Furno: GET US OUT!
Lewa: But…but Friendship!
Furno: No, I’d much rather be in Forks.
Lewa: *with his eyes widened in anger*
Excuse me?*He teleports, and they arrive in Forks*
Lewa: Look at that. Nice and gloomy and crappy.
Furno: ZOMG LOOK IT’S EDWARD CULLEN.
*a shining man walks up to them*
Lewa: Are you stupid? That’s A VAMPIRE! *Lewa blasts the shining man away with air*
Furno: We…we don’t have blood.
Lewa: Vampires deserve to be defeated.
Furno: Why not slayed?
Lewa: Toa Code. We can’t kill.
Furno: We can’t either.
Lewa: You’re incapable of killing. We just choose not to.
*they teleportal to another world!*
GLaDOS: Oh good. More test subjects. One of you is fatter than the other. Wait, no, that insult doesn’t work. Neither of you are humans.
Furno: Hail Glados.
Lewa: Sorry, lady, we aren’t in the mood for science.
*he disappears along with Furno*
*from behind a wall, Sarge pops out, and sheds a tear*
*Meanwhile, Lewa and Furno are too busy running away from a dinosaur*
Lewa: Are we seriously doing this?
Furno: The dinosaur is evil, or maybe just misunderstood!
Lewa: Why does this sound like a badly written plot?
*the dinosaur pauses, looks at Lewa puzzled*
*Both the dinosaur and Lewa smile, and look at Furno*
Furno: ….what?
*Meanwhile, at the hospital*
Doctor: Um….I still don’t understand how you got so injured from a bicycle crash, especially someone like you.
*Onua is somehow in a full body cast with a black eye*
Onua: Big guy, big fall, I guess.
*Tahu whispers to Gali*
Tahu: And big bill.
Gali: *elbows Tahu in the gut*
*back to the people this chapter is about*
Furno: Huh. It looks like we’re in a universe full of Internet social criticisms.
*a man laughs his head off. A comedian points it out, and the man is offended*
Lewa: HAHA! I see what they did there!
Furno: I don’t. What does it mean?
*A man walks up to Lewa, and screams in his face*
???: TOYLINE WORSHIPPER!
*he then pats Furno on the head*
???: Nice little boy.
*he then walks away*
Furno: ….what.
*they leave this strange dimension, and arrive in yet another*
*It seems to be one full of mythical creatures. A tall elf walks up to them*
???: *in an Eastern European, slightly Irish and squeaky accent* Excuse me, kind sirs. But may you direct me to the youngest source of life that I may feed upon? I plan on living 1000 more years, up to 1945!
Lewa: Uh….*whispers to Furno* Where are we?
Furno: I…I don’t know, maybe over a thousand and 67 years in the past?
Lewa: Nice math skills. *clears throat* This little guy right here is Lego’s new favorite toy. He’s got years ahead of him, feed!
*the elf absorbs some of Furno’s age*
???: Lego, eh? Hm…..I might be interested in whatever that is.
*he walks away*
Furno: He’s going to be alive until 1945? NICE GOING!
Lewa: Don’t worry! I’m sure he won’t find a source to feed off of in the future…or….our past…or whatever.
*they teleport away*
*1000 years after this event in time*
*the elf is disguised as a Soviet soldier*
*he sees several Nazi prisoners, and picks one out*
???: I can’t be bothered to actually eat food, so I’ll just pick you.
*he absorbs the age of the Nazi prisoners with justice*
Elf: Hot Dog! Now I can live up to 2012 or maybe longer. I might have to take a vacation to refuel myself by then.
*back to our main characters*
*Lewa and Furno appear in what looks like the stage for a
comedic talk show*
*Makuta
Krika looks up, and stares at them, rather confused*
Krika: Uh….what?
Lewa: Sorry to interrupt! Sorry!
*Lewa and Furno disappear*
*they reappear at their home, safe and sound*
Lewa: Well that was fun!
Furno: Wait, aren’t we supposed to give Brutaka his mask back?
*Brutaka bursts into the house, and yells*
Brutaka: WHICH ONE OF YOU STOLE MY MASK?!
*he is wearing a bathrobe*
How will Lewa and Furno escape this one? Will Onua be able to get out of the hospital? Will Tahu continue to worry about healthcare costs? Is this a sitcom without a laughter track? Find out on the next episode of The Toas!
To be continued!
