The Toa Maiden is Interrogated

For those who have not been following along, the Toa Maiden always seems to get in dutch with the most recent iteration of Bionicle. She combines characteristics of Emma Peel and Gilligan. There's often an argument, accusations, misunderstandings, incriminations, mutations, sometimes tears and then ROBOT MONSTER FIGHTING ACTION. In this instance, the mint-chocolate fellow is known as Scout; he and the Toa Maiden have been at odds for a while. The one dressed as Death is known as Vezon and has one of the more complicated back stories in the Bionicle universe, which is wall-to-wall complicated back story. Suffice to say it doesn't bear on the current action.

A little scene between two field agents on a mission to the universe that also contains the Toa Maiden. They may be from the future.

Here is the yellow gnome that Red refers to.

Canyon of Improbable Time

EXT: CANYON OF IMPROBABLE TIME—DAY

MESSENGER VA and GUARD walking side by side. In the background, the walls of a heavily eroded desert canyon stretch upward out of frame.

MESSENGER VA

Keep your wits about you. We're going to go through the Canyon of Improbable Time.

GUARD

That doesn't sound so bad. It could be the Valley of Certain Destruction.

VA

The Valley of Certain Destruction is the other way, smart guy. That's where Scout is headed in pursuit of the Toa Maiden. If you're lucky you won't catch up with him.

GUARD

You're a feisty one.

VA

And you're a newly-minted soul-slave of Scout's. How long have you been out of the box?

GUARD

I'm pretty new.

VA

How long?

GUARD

I think it was this morning. It's really dim before then.

VA

I see. You are lucky - you'll stay with Trainer when we get there. All right, here we are. You may think you see things, but they aren't anything to panic about.

GUARD

So they are just illusions? I can handle that.

VA

Not illusions. They are there, but not long enough to matter to you. You may not see anything except a blur. But it's not safe. Some of the things can see you just fine.

An innocuous mound in the background suddenly seethes into seeming life. MESSENGER VA flees immediately but the GUARD, initially stunned, stands his ground to battle the onrushing wall. He is immediately engulfed.

EXT CANYON OF IMPROBABLE TIME - MOMENTS LATER

VA

(muttering)

I guess I could have seen that coming. I told them that he would just be in the way and well he was but only for a little while because he is no one's way now, the poor sap. I wonder if Scout will feel any remorse at all. I wonder if that guard was supposed to keep me from getting back? That would be just about Scout's speed, the lying, treacherous wretch. Trainer is right not to trust him. Sure, Scout has been around almost as long as the universe but that doesn't give him the right to treat his servants, created yesterday, for pity's sake, yesterday! as if their lives don't matter. And it loks like Scout is getting careless. Time was when he would rage and spout fire if any of his lads even got hurt. Now he uses them up just to keep tabs on this old messenger Va. Well, now I'm laughing, aren't I. I am here almost on the other side of this vastly treacherous ground while Scout's poor tool is in the belly of that thing.

Teaser: Toa Maiden Fever Dream

This started out as a Bionicle Santa, which didn't work out too well, mostly because of the difficulty in making a convincing beard. Also making a plausible belly like a bowlful of jelly proved not easy. Robot monsters do not tend to rotundity. Except Tic-Toc. The closest I got was Santa Mantis and that was not satisfactory. It morphed into this more conventional ACTION FIGURE. Features to note:

• Festive color scheme.
• Cape!
• Mantis-like head.
• Golden bustle.
• Articulated waist.
• Gadgetized feet.

Talk to the hook!

Last time, the Toa Maiden had met another Toa-like being also intent on helping a group of villagers. Some time later, the villagers prove to be not what they seem.

She's no Toa! Look at her - more like a stray Rahi. 

She had a Vahi!
