Aftermath

Aftermath is a BZP epicomedy written by Toa Zehvor MT. It takes place right after his first comedy, The Bionicles Try To Run A House. It chronicles the events of the Toa Zehvor, as they attempt to rid the Earth, and then the universe, of a mutagen known as Xenon. Aftermath is MT's second longest comedy, behind TBTTRAH, and currently is the 9th longest comedy of all times in terms of post count. However, like most of MT's comedies, it has done rather poorly in comparison of views, ranking over 20th all time.

Plot Overview

The story begins with Mete, a villain from TBTTRAH, using Xenon to corrupt the minds of the government and get them to attack the House, the home of the Zehvor and their companions, who have shrunk down to the size of plastic Bionicles to avoid detection by the people. The house is destroyed, and the Zehvor are forced to flee and go through a wild series of events, until at last, MT and two of his friends, Omega Turtle and Vecolity, manage to defeat Mete and destroy all Xenon on Earth.

After a while, the Zehvor end up on another planet called Mandex and they all(save for MT, because it was his invention that is doing it) figure out that only while on Earth they must be in their tiny forms. MT and Mesonak head out and find Kpik(who was MT's friend thousands of years ago), and end up going 10,000 years into the past to find a device which saves the nearby village from being frozen solid. Meanwhile, two more Toa, Levacius and Assassin, defeat a rather comical egomaniacal tyrant named Slatenin, and get a tip that Xenon itself might be controlled by a singular being. They dub this being, "The Dark Lord."

The Zehvor then begin their quest to rid Xenon from the entire universe, and find out that that is going to be a lot harder than expected. The house is eventually rebuilt, and the Bionicles move back in. After a while, MT and Levacius are attacked by a Xenon infused clone of MT and infused with Xenon themselves, which threatens to turn them into mindless slaves of Xenon or destroy them altogether.

4 of the Zehvor then head out to other planets to try and destroy Xenon, and are eventually all lead to planet Rankar, a friendly planet that is amassing an army to launch an attack on a Xenon base. However, before the attack can commence, TM arrives in orbit with an army of his own, and begins pounding the Toa army into the ground, and the Zehvor barely escape. To make matters worse, a new shadowy creature known only as "Nightmare" appears during one of MT's exploits with Tarakavarbiter, and begins a quest to mercilessly hunt MT down. MT then meets Blackout, a Makuta/Toa hybrid, and enters the Xenon core of Blackout's home planet. After a fierce battle with a huge Rahi, Nightmare appears and attempts to kill MT, but is blocked by Blackout. MT and Blackout escape, and Blackout's home planet is returned to normal.

The house spends the next few days quietly until Tahu decides that they should all go on a vacation. The Bionicles arrive at their hotel in Florida for the first time since the house was destroyed at the end of TBTTRAH. Nightmare notices this(what a stalker) and disguises himself as Omega Turtle with a shape shifting device. He kidnaps Tahu and Shoebox, Brenmac's gremlin pet, but his identity is found out after Brenmac becomes suspicious and uses his own shapeshifting powers to fool Nightmare into revealing who he is. Nightmare then battles Brenmac and MT, but flees when he realizes that he can't defeat someone with control over so many elements and shapeshifting abilities.

MT then takes the Zehvor and chases after Nightmare, while Tahu Nuva leads the rest of the Bionicles back home. The Zehvor eventually find Nightmare(on another planet) and a wonderful new weapon called the "Sun Beam," however, it does very little against Nightmare. Nightmare picks a fight and manages to take down about 3 of the Zehvor before Mesonak impales Nightmare with his sword. Nightmare disintegrates, and the Zehvor return home, though without finding either Tahu or Shoebox.

A while later Pridak comes to MT and claims to know the location of TM's base, though ruins his good standing with MT by then informing him that he sent a note to TM taunting the Toa. MT devises a plan, which will require the help of multiple space fleets: one planet will "dare" TM to attack it, thus taking TM's main fleet away from its home base of Onex, and another planet will send an invasion fleet of it's own to attack the planet.

The IUPD agrees to the plan since they are desperate to defeat TM, and the scheme is set in motion. TM sends a fleet to attack the planet and the invasion begins. MT, TA, Mr. Matoro, and Brenmac all steal onboard a huge Terna destroyer, set it to self destruct, and then run for their lives, but they run into a revived Nightmare. Nightmare claims that they can never kill him, which is when Sonu and Burnmad arrive in their own ship, crash through a wall, and blast Nightmare away. The 6 Zehvor flee the burning ship and the now overrun planet and head to Planet Onex.

When they arrive, they find the invasion about to begin, and decide to head to the planet surface in hopes of encountering TM, but their ships are separated as they head to the planet. When TA, Mr. Matoro, Brenmac, and MT arrive they find a portal, which takes them to a separate dimension of the planet. The three journey through the planet for a while before Mr. Matoro gets caught during a long jump. Not realizing they are missing a fourth of their power, the other three Zehvor continue on and run into Nightmare yet again. Nightmare says that he will take them to TM, which MT agrees to, since they were attempting to find TM anyway. However, when the group reaches TM, he acts rather strangely, causing Nightmare to ask what is wrong. TM then drops to the ground, helplessly, and a large black armored figure appears. The figure reveals himself to be Ihr, and that TM is just a puppet.

Nightmare goes crazy when he realizes that Ihr possessed TM, so Ihr attempts to calm him down by explaining that they both serve the will of the Dark Lord. It does nothing to calm Nightmare's fury, and the 9 armed monster goes crazy and attempts to charge Ihr. Ihr simply raises a hand and blasts Nightmare into unconsciousness. TA follows up by kicking Nightmare off a cliff. Ihr then offers the Zehvor the opportunity to take TM's place. MT flatly declines, and is promptly knocked out as well.

MT later awakes and finds Sonu, Burnmad, Mesonak, and Mr. Matoro by him. MT explains what happens, and the group sets off to find Ihr, and Brenmac and TA, who are nowhere to be found. They eventually encounter Ihr, and battle him and Shoebox, who has grown to gigantic proportions. After Shoebox is killed, Ihr knocks all the others out, and having believed that he won, turns his back on the Zehvor. TM shows up and blasts Ihr in the back, saying that he isn't finished. Ihr battles TM, who due to insane exposure to Xenon, manages to hold his own. TM eventually kills Ihr by tackling him off a cliff into a pool of Xenon, which overloads and destroys both of them.

The Zehvor then leave the planet, and some measure of peace, justice, and the American way is restored.
