(I’m going to start this off with a short preface: There are four or five different stories from EYWTKAB(BWATA), all of which are presently on BZPower. I thought that maybe some of you on here might get a bit of a chuckle from this, which is why I’m posting it. This is just the first one though. Anyway, enjoy!)
The Ga-Matoran named Kyra was of a curious sort. This wasn’t
necessarily a bad thing; curiosity can lead to knowledge. It can also
lead to one being annoying, which many beings considered her to be.
However, one being tolerated her talkative nature: Turaga Aldo. Aldo was
a wise Turaga, and only tolerated Kyra because he knew living
sacrifices to Mata Nui were frowned upon. So, he answered her questions.
Today’s was an interesting one.
“Turaga,” Kyra asked. “Why are Ga-Matoran, and Turaga, and Toa all female?”
“Because the Great Beings assumed that representing water meant that one
was calm, and peaceful, and they associated females with that.” Aldo
answered.
“Ok. Why are the Great Beings morons?”
“What?”
“Well, have you met females? We aren’t exactly peaceful all the time, or most of the time.”
“What do you mean?”
“Remember when Incy called me fat?” Kyra asked.
Aldo thought for a minute. Yes, he remembered. Another Matoran, Incy, insulted Kyra.
Incy’s home was soon destroyed, along with most of her personal possessions.
Aldo was quiet for a minute, then looked left, then right, as if he was
worried someone was watching him. Then he leaned in close to the
Ga-Matoran.
“Want to know the real reason things in this universe are the way they are?” Aldo asked.
Kyra nodded.
“Well, listen, my…student? Acquantince? Person I talk to. Yeah, listen, person I talk to, to the true legends of the BIONICLE,”
“Wait, of the BIONICLE? We’re breaking the fourth wall now?”
“The truth breaks all barriers,” Aldo said wisely.
Why Ga-Folks Are Female:
In the time long before the time before time, there were powerful and
intelligent beings known as the Great Beings. They were promoted into a
position of power, ruling over the land of Spherus Magna. They soon
decided not to do that, since they were busy being smart, and just gave
power to six random morons known as the Elemental Lords.
It didn’t take long for war to overtake the planet and lead to its
destruction, since the Elemental Lords really sucked at their jobs.
So, the Great Beings decided that, rather than try and make a
superweapon to kill the Elemental Lords or a mind control device to make
everyone stop fighting, they would build a giant robot called Mata Nui
to go explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new
civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Then the robot
would come back and fix everything.
While assembling the robot, the Great Beings knew that there needed to
be some beings in the giant robot to make it function, because automated
processes wouldn’t be as profitable for a toy line. Thus were born the
Matoran, all of whom were modeled after elements because…because.
The Great Being asked himself, “Should I give them gender, free will,
and independent thought, which would also create possible rebellions and
internal problems for the robot?” He pondered for a second, and said,
“Totally! This won’t backfire in any way, shape or form!” The he
chuckled to himself, and said he was a genius.
The Great Being weren’t a humble bunch.
So, the Great Being decided on that course of action. The only question was, what colors should genders correspond to?
The Great Being knew this question was too complex for him, so he prayed to the Great God of Canon, Farshtey, for an answer.
“What color should the females be?” he asked.
“Blue,” Farshtey said.
“Why?”
“Because why not?”
Well, that reasoning was good enough for the Great Being. And that’s why Ga-Matoran and all related Ga-Beings are blue.
“That’s what happened?” Kyra asked.
Aldo nodded. “That is truly what happened.”
“That was kind of stupid. I mean, ‘Because why not?’ Really?”
“Do not talk bad about the great god Farshtey!”
“Why not?”
“He might write your romantic relationship out of continuity!”
Kyra seemed confused. “What romantic relationship?” she asked.
“It happened!” Aldo yelled. “Pray for forgiveness! Farshety has been angered!”
And so Aldo ran around the village, yelling that everyone must prepare
for the end times, and to pray for forgiveness, until he was hit with
tranquilizer disks.
