(Full View) Let's Create Our Own Future

------------

As he travels to planets to discover newfound wonders he begins to build a strong bond between him and Helryx, the first toa of water who at the time was still quite young and also had a role in building him. Their relationship continues to strengthen to a point where both decide to push past the laws of the Great Beings and create something of their own. Drawing power from the mask of life after creating the body for their child, it breathes life into the new creation's lungs and jumpstarts his heartlight. After a few seconds, air fills his lungs and the small child starts breathing; a small smile spreading across his face. Helryx cradles him gently in her arms and turns towards the great spirit's vessel. Mata Nui gives her a warm smile and presses his lips against her forehead, holding her against him with one hand on her shoulder. She follows with a small smile of her own as she continues to hold the small life in her arms.

"Do you think we made the right choice?" She asked

Mata Nui reassured her with his hand tensing on her shoulder. "Do you believe this child will do something great? To strengthen the bonds of his unity? To move past the bounds of his duty? To transcend the future of what could be his destiny? Fate will decide that- but I have no doubt in my mind that we can raise him to become something extraordinary."

"So... this feeling... is this what the Great Beings feel every day of their lives? I never thought it could feel so... enchanting." Helryx looked up at him. "He will be a big responsibility."

The Great Spirit chuckled softly. "Give it time. We will have him learn through the course of his youth. The life energy that flows inside of him will make him grow and mature with each passing year until the day comes where it will support him no further. He will leave quite a mark make no mistake."

The first lady continues to smile, "I will make sure of it." she then curls her smile into a grin. "But must you make everything sound like a prophecy?"

Mata Nui paused for a moment then shrugged to which he simply responded, "Spur of the moment.".

I've been meaning to scan this for a long time now. Since a little trend was going around I thought I'd finally post it. As some may not know I also support a relationship between Mata Nui and Helryx. It's not a common pairing but I feel it's something I can stand by on. I love both of these characters to pieces (excuse the pun) and I always marveled at the idea of what could have been. What if Helryx and Mata Nui had a secret relationship during his travels? What if he had another body to control inside his own whenever he sat down to study new planets? What if Bionicle characters were susceptible to the entire emotional spectrum? I don't believe Greg's rule on toa, matoran, etc/ not being able to feel love yet the Glatorian can. They can be happy, sad, angry, confused, conflicted and are able to hold strong bonds with eachother despite the fact. I felt Greg only said that because he didn't want to scare away the general audience but I can look at several other shows aimed at kids and teens with bits of romance (Cough Avatar: The Last Airbender cough). So it will never make sense to me. I can think of many others who also acknowledge the absurdity.

Now, in this picture, this takes place well before Mata Nui was put into a coma. Rather this took place a little after his own "birth" so to speak.
