Here’s a lil something I whipped up in my spare time. When I don’t have any Gunpla’s the work on, I just write! I’m planning to make a whole series outta this. This is the result of combining Bionicle, Metroid, and Gundam into one. I have to say I did a good job in my opinion. 
This is a made up fiction story by me. I used mostly metroid and bionicle, but the shield that Volek gains is similar to Kyrios’ sheild.
Quest for Destiny Part I
Volek woke up to find himself on an abandoned beach, startled and frustrated. Volek was a biomechanical being, made up of armor and organic tissue that held his metallic limbs together. He did not know where he was, or why he was there. The being sat up and looked around but all he could see was water and sand. The beach was long and had some plants growing here and there, but was mostly barren. One could almost call it a miniature dessert. Volek got to his feet and started walking up the beach. He walked for what seemed to be an eternity until he hit a lush green jungle. The biomechanical being walked into the jungle, looking around with awe. However, he found something that was incredible. In front of Volek was a large metal platform with a glowing blue center. Nearby was a glowing panel with text on it. Volek walked over to the panel and waved his right hand over the panel. The next instant, the panel turned green and the platform glowed underneath. Curious about what he did, Volek walked over to the platform and the next instant, it roared to life and shot upward. Startled by the sudden ascent, Volek lost his balance and hit the floor of the platform. However, the platform kept going up, powered by rockets built underneath it. It was then that Volek realized he was on a sort of elevator, possibly built by the inhabitants of the island. Volek looked up, and he saw a light. The next moment, the platform ground to a halt. The biomechanical being found himself in a large cavern, decorated with carvings and statues. Volek got to his feet and surveyed his surroundings. Nearby was an advanced door that looked like it would take some code or password that would open it. Volek started for the door, as it seemed to be the only way out of the place, when he stopped dead. One of the statues that were to the left of the door came to life, and it stomped over to Volek, sword at the ready. Volek, who was without a weapon, was tempted to flee, but he didn’t have anywhere to go. The only exit was blocked by the stone giant who stood to keep Volek away from his destination. The statue represented someone much like Volek, but with slightly different armor. Then the giant statue charged, and with a mighty swing of its giant sword, hit Volek and sent him hurling backward and into the wall of the cavern. Volek moaned and tried to get back up, but he couldn’t move. Unfortunately for Volek, the stone being wasn’t going to give him time to recover. Readying his sword, the giant charged. Volek thought quickly. He looked at the stone statue charging toward him, and realized something: the ground beneath the giant’s feet was cracking with every step it took. He glanced back at the wall he was leaning on, and he realized that it was cracked from the impact when he hit it. What he was about to do was risky, and Volek knew it. But now it was a situation of life or death. At the last moment, right before the stone giant was going to hit, Volek ducked down and let the giant go over him and charge at the stone wall behind him. The giant hit the wall, and it collapsed as the giant hit it. With its balance lost, the giant fumbled. With one great kick, Volek sent the stone being through the wall. To his surprise, beyond the stone wall was nothing but empty air. The giant went down into the abyss screaming. Volek stood at the edge and looked down, wondering how much things could have changed if the statue hit him and drove him through the wall and into the dark abyss. The biomechanical being shuddered at the thought and turned back to the cavern. He walked over to the door and noted that it was locked. Looking around, he found a strange encryption above the door. Feeling around the stone doorway, Volek found an unusual stone. He pushed the stone in, and a panel slid into view. There were holographic keys on the panel, and strangely enough, the letters matched the ones on the wall above the door. Volek pushed the keys in the order that they were in the encryption above the door and the lock around the door disappeared. With nothing else barring his way, Volek proceeded.
In the next room was a great sword wedged in a stone slab. The sword was massive, almost as big as Volek. It radiated intense heat and it glowed red. The blade was made of the finest metal one could find, and the hilt had ancient encryptions on it. Volek walked calmly up to the stone slab and the great sword, and with a tug, pulled it free. Volek expected the sword to be extremely heavy for its size, but it proved to be extremely light and durable. This would give him a speed advantage in combat. Volek swung the sword at a nearby wall and it cut a clean, deep mark into the stone. He swung the sword again, but this time the results were completely unexpected. Instead of cutting the wall, flames danced out of the end of the sword and seared the stone wall. Amazed at the sword’s power, Volek swung again, this time willing a great flame to come out. The next thing he knew, a giant fire erupted from the sword, heating up the room by several hundred degrees. The heat was too much to bear, so Volek drew the flame back into the sword. The biomechanical being looked down at his new-found weapon and smiled. Then he strapped the sword to his back and stepped out of the room. Volek surveyed the cavern where he fought the massive stone statue before again. He found a carving that represented a door, but there was no real door in sight. Unlimbering his sword, Volek swung and a massive fireball erupted from the sword. It flew over to the carving and melted it. Behind the melted slab was a door, this one real and active. Volek grinned with satisfaction and walked over to the new entryway.
The door opened when Volek came over to it, and what he found on the other side of the door was a hallway. It was a corridor built of stone, glass, and crystal. He was inside a sort of tube, with the circular walls around him being transparent but the ground beneath him being made of stone. He walked through the structure looking outside the pipe and admiring the sight he saw. Outside it was raining, with thunder crashing softly overhead. The land was lush and green, with little creatures skittering about, looking for shelter against the rain. The rainwater formed little streams on the ground and turned the dirt to soft mud. Volek continued on and he later saw a door that marked the end of the corridor. The door opened and he found himself outside in the place he saw from the pipeline. It was then that Volek realized that the corridor he was traveling in slowly wound downward, and that it led to the outside world. Volek walked around the place looking around with wonder at the wonderful display of life around him. He discovered that the island he was on was largely uninhabited by intelligent beings. Apparently the natives of the island that built the structures left many years ago or died out. They also seemed to have left a great deal of technology behind. He continued to walk until he found a tunnel that was hidden beneath a patch of earth. Volek went into the tunnel, using his sword to generate a small flame and light the way for him. At the end of the underground tunnel was a doorway that led to another tunnel that went up. Volek continued to walk up the tunnel, never hesitating along the way. At last he emerged on top of a very large structure. On top of the structure was a hovering item that emitted an unearthly glow. Volek moved toward it but then a large dragon flew up and blocked Volek from obtaining the item. Unlike his last encounter with an enemy, Volek felt no fear. He drew his sword and charged at the dragon while swinging his deadly sword. If Volek thought that one swing would bring down the fierce creature, he was wrong. The dragon shrugged off the blow like it was a simple breeze and with one mighty swipe of its tail it downed Volek and sent him flying into a wall. Volek tried to channel his power through his sword and fight the fearsome creature but he had no strength left, the dragon was just too strong. The last thing Volek saw before he passed out was the dragon bearing down on him, ready for a fatal strike.
When Volek woke up, he found himself inside a cell, the bars made of solid crystal. He looked around, and realized something very disturbing: he was underwater. Volek wasn’t sure how he could breathe while still underwater, but he resolved to find that out later. Volek was surprised to find that he still had his sword with him. Whoever had captured him wasn’t that smart, as they didn’t think about removing a captive’s weapon before throwing them into a cell. Aiming his sword, Volek willed a fireball to come out, but it didn’t work as he was underwater. All his sword could do was give off a weak glow. Frustrated, Volek used his sword and cut an opening to the roof of his cell. Making sure that no one spotted him, Volek swam out of his cell and raced for the surface. However, to his shock, Volek discovered that he wasn’t going up toward the surface; rather he was going down deeper into the ocean pit. Volek stopped and looked around but he had lost all sense of direction. Even so, Volek continued to swim around, looking for a way to get out of the water, but it seemed that the sea itself wanted to consume him. A movement in the corner of his eye caught Volek’s attention. It turned out to be nothing more than a thick patch of seaweed, but there was something about them that drew Volek further in. He swam toward the seaweed, mystified at how they move and how they seem to dazzle his eyes. Then he realized that there was an object behind the seaweed, and they seemed to be guarding it. Volek smiled. No patch of seaweed was going to stop this warrior from obtaining his prize. Readying his sword, Volek charged into the patch of seaweed and cut some of them away. However, the seaweed seemed to have a mind of its own. The plants wrapped themselves onto Volek’s legs and attempted to pull him down, but he cut them away. Unfortunately for Volek, this action just seemed to anger the seaweed more as they began to take more aggressive action. One strand covered Volek’s mouth, and to his surprise, once he couldn’t breathe water, he started chocking and fumbling. Desperate to get away, the warrior used his sword and willed it to heat up as much as it can. The sword’s temperature raised only a little, but the light generated by the heat was enough to scare the plants away as they were accustomed to living in total darkness and light was like poison to them. As the seaweed retreated back into the ocean floor, Volek finally got a clear image of what they were protecting. It was an object that looked like it would its user great strength if used. Volek approached the item, and to his surprise, it shot up and went into Volek’s immune system. After a moment, his armor started to change, and he felt more power surging though him. He raised a hand and a small flame lit in his palm. Volek’s eyes widened at the sight. He now controlled fire itself. With the added power of his flame sword, he would be unstoppable. Using his new power over fire to light the way, he began looking for a way back to the surface.
It took quite some time, but Volek managed to find his way back to the surface of the abandoned island. Along the way back, he had to fight fearsome sea creatures that attempted to block his path, but with his new power over fire, he managed to defeat them. Now he stood on the marshy ground of the island, with plants and undergrowth everywhere. The rain still fell, and Volek used a small sample of his power to light the way into the woods. He still had no real idea of what he was doing on the island and what his true destiny was. The warrior continued on and walked for endless hours, seeking something that would give him a clue about where his destiny lay. Lost in thought, Volek never saw what was coming. A giant fireball hurled past Volek’s head, almost close enough to melt his head clean off. Volek assumed a fighting stance, and drew his sword. He looked in the direction of the attack to see who his enemy was, but there was no one there. The biomechanical being looked around franticly, trying to figure out if there was going to be another attack, but he saw nothing. Then, suddenly, there was a bright flash, and a powerful jet of flame hit Volek square in the back. He stumbled forward and fell face-first into the mud, groaning with pain. He lifted his head just enough to see a being standing over him, and Volek’s eyes widened at the sight. It was Volek that had downed him. The attacker looked exactly like Volek, with the same armor and weapon. He regarded Volek with cold, dead eyes. The being standing over the master of fire seemed to be dead inside, with no sprit housed within the armor. Volek was about to face the hardest challenge he has ever faced: fighting himself. Now the evil being standing over Volek readied its sword, and prepared to destroy him. However, Volek had other ideas. He forced his body temperature to shoot up several thousand degrees, and the other being backed away screaming at the intense heat. Volek gazed at his enemy, and noticed that the heat did little damage, as his copy also had power over fire. Realizing that he couldn’t defeat this entity with fire or heat, he resorted to something else. Focusing his energy, Volek drew all the heat in the atmosphere into himself, and soon everything started turning cold and icy. He wavered and fell to his knees from the effort of containing all the energy in his body, and as more time passed, more things iced over. The copy of Volek tried to move, but he was frozen. With all the heat sucked out off the atmosphere, the entity couldn’t even generate a small flame. At last the being completely froze and disappeared into thin air. Volek, who was exhausted from the strain of containing all the energy, finally let out an incredible blast of fire into the sky and collapsed. He was still conscious, laying there on the marshy ground, thinking about what his fate would be in the end. After several hours, Volek regained his strength and got back up to his feet again. He looked around, seeking something else that would lead him to his fate, but he saw nothing out of the ordinary. Just the rain, plants, the sky, and the ground moving beneath him. That last one made him look twice. Yes, the ground was moving, and Volek was moving with it. It seemed that it was a door leading underground, and Volek was right. As the door slowly ground to a halt, Volek stepped into a stairway. He went down into the darkness, using his power to light the path. It wasn’t long before he reached a door at the end of the stairway, one that wasn’t locked or guarded. Volek went inside and found something totally unexpected.
After all that he had been through, Volek expected an enemy to leap out at him once he passed through the door, but he was wrong. In the center of the large chamber that Volek was in was a shield. It was wedged into the ground, the point of it at the bottom. But this did not look like an ordinary shield. It was thin, and the bottom was extremely sharp. The middle of it also had a straight hairline crack that made it look like it could separate into two pieces. Volek stepped forward and took the shield in his hands. He then tested it by experimenting with blocking techniques. The one thing that interested Volek the most about the shield was the hairline crack in the center. It seemed that it could spit apart. Volek tested it and amazingly, the shield spilt in two into a claw. Because the point of the shield was extremely sharp, it could operate as a claw weapon for Volek. The warrior smiled. Now he had an offensive weapon and a defensive weapon. After a few more moments practicing with his new weapon, Volek strapped the shield to his arm and looked around the chamber again. He could go back the way he came, but there was another locked door at the opposite side of the chamber. Unlike the other locked door he came across before, this one had no code or password to open it. Left with no choice, Volek drew his sword and slashed at the door, but to no effect. The door was made of the hardest metal in the universe, and was designed to keep intruders out. Volek looked around again and found an opening in the roof. That could lead to another place, but how he was going to get up there was another matter. The biomechanical being scanned the room again and found an unusual slot in the stone floor under the hole in the roof. It seemed to fit the new shield he acquired. Aiming it, Volek slotted the shield into the ground. Once the shield made contact with the stone, a great staircase erupted from the ground that ascended to the opening in the roof of the chamber. Without a second thought, Volek went up the stairs and into the opening in the roof. However, what lay above was something totally unexpected…
When the warrior emerged from the chamber where he found his shield, he saw a giant hurricane of dark energy swirling around and destroying everything it touched. Somehow, Volek knew that this was what destroyed the original inhabitants of this island. He studied the giant hurricane and noticed that the storm itself came from a portal. It was linked to another dimension. Volek knew that the only way to destroy the hurricane was to destroy whatever was creating it which was inside the portal. However, after calculating the odds, he would most likely get killed the moment he touched the hurricane and its source. But Volek had been through a lot lately and he wasn’t about to give up. He wasn’t about to stand by and let this island be destroyed when he could do something about it. Bracing himself, he threw a force field of fire around himself and jumped into the portal. While inside the portal, he felt as if his entire being was being split apart and then being reconstructed again. The entire process lasted mere seconds…or it lasted for days, Volek wasn’t sure, he was in too much pain. At last he wound up flat on his face in another dimension. He looked up, and found that the entire place was covered in shadow. There wasn’t a spark of light anywhere. The darkness seemed alive, eager to feed on light. There were creatures here too, repulsive creatures that seemed to destroy anything they made contact with. The sight disgusted Volek, but he forced himself to stand up and look for the source of the dark hurricane that was menacing the island in the other dimension. Looking around, he saw the portal that he came through, as well as something that seemed to be a power source. He sensed great power from the object, and he guessed that it must be the object of power that keeps this dimension together. Destroy it, and the entire dimension collapses. Volek started for the power unit, only to be knocked backwards by something incredibly strong. The fierce warrior hit the ground hard, but he managed to rise again. He looked up, and he saw something very disturbing. Standing in front of him was someone similar to him, only with slightly different armor and weapons. However, that wasn’t what disturbed Volek. It was the fact that this being was coated in deep shadow that disturbed him. It seemed to radiate intense shadow, and it seemed that the original being was very kind-hearted and warm, but shadow and darkness had corrupted this being and turned him into a monster. Volek readied his weapons and prepared to strike. The shadow entity in front of him raised an arm. It took Volek a few moments to realize that the right arm of this being was in fact a sword. It radiated shadow energy and it had a razor sharp point. At that moment, the shadow being vanished. Or, it seemed he did. He just turned out to be moving too fast for the eye to see. Volek raised his shield and sword and blocked the shadow being’s first attack. He bounced off Volek’s shield and perched himself on the ceiling. Volek looked up and fired a bolt of fire at the shadow being, only to have him dodge it and blow a hole in the roof. Frustrated, Volek slashed at the shadow being with his sword, only to miss. However, Volek wasn’t out of ideas. Channeling his power through his sword, he forced it to emit a flame. The heat shot up the temperature by a hundred degrees. The heat slowed the shadow being down just enough for Volek to use his ignited sword and land a solid blow on the shadow entity. However, the shadow being got back up and charged at Volek once again, arm sword at the ready. Volek parried his enemy’s sword with his own, and the two were forced into a deadlock. However, the shadow being wasn’t out of ideas. The shadow entity sneered as he used his free hand and generated a bolt of dark energy directed at Volek. By the time Volek realized what his enemy was up to, it was too late. The shadow being fired the bolt and it struck Volek dead center. Volek went flying backwards into the ground, while the shadow being planted one foot on Volek’s chest and aimed his sword. Volek was desperate, but not out of options. Using one hand, he generated a bright intense flash of light using fire and jumped back while the shadow being was blinded. Volek took up his shield and used its claw mode to pin the shadow being to the wall, but it didn’t last. The shadow entity broke free and charged at Volek. He barely managed to raise his sword in time to counter the master of shadow’s attack. Sparks flew as they clashed on and on, until they were both exhausted. Volek and the shadow being both readied their weapons for one final attack. They glared at one another, and with their swords raised, charged at one another. There was a bright flash of light, one that blinded every living being in the shadow dimension. The light would be a sign of triumph, for the shadow was defeated. However, of Volek, the hero of the island, there was no sign.
