A/N- Hello everyone! Welcome to my newest (and greatest) series, a LEGO Bionicle one.

For many of you readers, this is a rewrite of an old story of mine, Toa Assemble. Sadly, my brother pointed out many mistakes and inconsistencies, as well as the fact it jumped into the middle of my original story line.

(I may or may not have been forced to binge watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with my younger sister before typing that one)

This is an UPDATED version of the story, though this chapter remains unchanged for the most part. The real differences are going to be visible in chapters further down, though the plot will remain overall the same that it will not affect the plot of the second book.

So now, the story right from the beginning!

(Updated and repaired November 2019)

"Now Pikachu use Thunderbolt!"

"Pika-CHUUUU!"

A grin split the viewer's face as the little electric mouse launched an extremely powerful burst of yellow electricity at his opponents, sending them flying.

"Team Rockets blasti-!"

"Emma, time to go to school!"

A groan escaped the girl's lips and a pair of arctic blue eyes, the right one slightly covered by cerulean blue striped blonde bangs, rolled in annoyance. She pressed her finger down on the power button as she yelled back "Coming Mom!" It was in the best part!

With the small TV in her room now black, the tall, lean girl rolled off her half bunk, landing on her feet like a cat. Her balance was perfect as she turned to head out the door, not a step out of-

"MROOOW!"

"AH-Sparks!"

The five-foot nine girl cursed as she leapt backwards, and the white fuzzy fur-ball that so happened to be her kitten shot off like a rocket.

"Emma-!"

"Coming Mom!" The thirteen year old shouted as she straightened up, and raced out her bedroom door, leaping over the laundry basket that lay in the middle of the hallway. Reaching the top of the stairs, Emma ran down three steps before leaping onto the banister. With a huge grin on her face, she slid down past the next dozen so steps.

Sliding off the banister as it reached the first floor of the house, the girl grinned as she raced out of the hallway and into the kitchen. In her rush, she almost ran into a woman just taller than her. The woman had bright green eyes, shoulder length straight blonde hair, and was wearing a simple dress suit.

The woman, Emma's mother, laughed as her daughter slid to a stop next to the kitchen counter, grabbing the white lunch bag left on it before racing back towards the front door. As the girl shoved her lunch in her large blue and white backpack, she let out a "Sorry!" as her mother walked past her.

The woman only shook her head with a small laugh, already used to these antics. "I know Emma. Now I'll be getting the car started, so be quick!"

The young teen nodded, already checking to make sure she had everything in her backpack. As her mother walked out, the girl pulled on a pair of blue and white running shoes, doing up both sets of straps at the same time. She then put on a light blue jacket, which complimented her simple white t-shirt and mid-thigh length jean shorts. Reaching into the top of the front closet, Emma grabbed a pair of light blue and white fingerless gloves, slipping them onto her hands.

"Don't forget your phone!" Her mom called back from outside.

Her blue eyes widened, and she darted into the living room. The girl quickly snagged the blue iPhone off of its charger before grabbing the charging cable and plug. Shoving the phone and earbuds in her left pocket, she used her right hand to shove the cable in her bag before zipping it shut.

A horn honked from the outside, so Emma quickly slung the bag over her shoulder before darting towards the front door. As she opened the door, the girl grabbed a blue baseball cap with a white rim from the bench and plopped it on her head, pulling the mid back length ponytail of cerulean blue striped blonde hair through the gap in the strap on the back.

The horn honked again, and the young teen darted out the door, locking it behind her.

"So," the woman said as the girl buckled in, "you ready for your math test later?"

Emma grinned. "Yep!" She pumped her fist. "Ready to get another A+!"

Her mother chuckled. As the green sedan pulled out of the driveway, she then asked, "Did you say goodbye to Sparks?"

The girl snorted, rolling her eyes. "If you count nearly stepping on her and having her shoot of like a rocket, then ya."

The woman shook her head, chuckling again as she pulled onto their street. Of course, the usual…

Emma grinned, before reaching into her pocket and pulling out her phone. Quickly unlocking it, she pulled up her Music app. Placing the earbuds in with one hand, she scrolled through the different playlists before clicking on the one she wanted. As the song Warriorsby Imagine Dragons began to play in her ears, the thirteen year old heard her mom say "Emma, I won't be getting home till nine, but I know you have plans with your friends, so text me when you leave school and when you arrive at wherever you're going to, okay?"

The girl nodded, flashing her mom a thumbs up. "Got it."

Her mother, Amy, smiled, and continued to keep her focus on the road ahead of her.

As she turned her head back out the window, Emma grinned. Mom, you are awesome.

"Miss McFord?"

Emma lifted her head up as she entered the school grounds.

Her school, Riverside High, was a small two-story building, with over a dozen classrooms scattered over its 300-so square feet. It had a large double gym, a gigantic library with over forty of the newest Stark Industries computers, as well as an Auditorium and Cafeteria. It currently held around two hundred grade seven to twelve students, as it was a small-town middle/high school.

Emma blinked as a two woman, both a couple years older than her mom, approached her. One was about five foot eight, wearing a white blouse with a fancy grey jacket and a grey pencil skirt with black heels. Her fiery orange hair was pulled into a tight bun, though a few small locks hung over her dark blue eyes.

The other woman was about five nine, wearing a short sleeved light purple dress with a thick black belt. She had dark brown hair which was hanging loose in light waves that came down just past her shoulders, and her light brown eyes twinkled from behind her glasses.

Emma turned to the second woman as they approached, pulling out one of her earbuds and raising a curious brow. "Yes Ms. Melody?"

Ms. Melody, the principal of Riverside High, smiled at the thirteen-year-old standing in front of her. "Emma, I would like to introduce to you Virginia Potts, secretary of Stark Industries."

The ginger smiled in greeting, and held out her right hand, her left clutching a clipboard. "A pleasure to meet you Miss McFord."

Emma smiled politely and extended her gloved hand. "No Miss Potts, it's an honour to meet the secretary of Stark Industries."

The woman laughed as the two shook hands, "Please, call me Pepper. Miss makes me feel old."

Emma grinned, also laughing. "Only if you call me Emma."

Pepper let out another laugh. "Agreed." She grinned.

As the two released each other's hands, Emma turned to her principle and asked, "Ms. Melody, why is Mis- Pepper here?"

The principal smiled, looking down at the young teenager in front of her. "You see, Pepper is here to oversee how the school is doing. Since Stark Industries has supplied us with our technology, she is here to ensure that it is all being put to good use." She then smiled. "We also lived in the same dorm during our college years, so this is also a friendly visit."

Emma nodded in understanding, before raising a questioning brow. "I have to ask, why tell me?"

Ms. Melody chuckled. "I only believed that it was fair to warn one of our most promising and… outgoing student of this event."

Emma grimaced, ducking her head. "S'not my fault that the superintendent startled me." She muttered.

Now it was Ms. Melody's turn to raise a brow. "I'm pretty certain that flipping a man twice your weight over your shoulder is a bit more than 'startled'."

Pepper choked in surprise as Emma groaned, looking ready to throw her hands in the air. "I thought I said I was sorry!"

Before anything else could be said, the early warning bell rang.

Emma's eyes widened, and she darted past the two women with a quick "Sorry gotta go bye!"

Pepper raised a ginger brow as the thirteen-year-old dashed though the double doors with a small cry of "I'm going to be late!".

"I'm guessing that there is a story behind that incident May?" She asked.

May Melody chuckled. "Oh, you have no idea."

Sometime Later…

Emma sighed as she entered the cafeteria, lunch bag in hand. She stood in the entrance for a few moments, eyes scanning the scattered sea of students and tables before her eyes landed on an arm waving her over. A grin split her face as she recognized the owner of the arm, and Emma quickly made her way to the back of the cafeteria.

After squeezing through a group of cheerleaders and nearly stepping on a kid's foot, Emma plopped herself gratefully down on the offered chair. "Thanks Emily."

The five-foot five brunette with light brown eyes wearing a light green tee with the words 'Hit me, I dare you!' written in white, jean shorts and green tennis shoes smiled sympathetically. A green baseball cap sat on her head, giving her a sporty look. Pushing a lock of mid back length emerald green tipped brown hair out of her eyes with a green fingerless glove covered hand, Emily smiled. "Hey, anything for my best friend."

A voice was raised from beside her. "What about the rest of us?! I'm not chopped liver!"

Emma laughed, turning to the girl who sat on Emily's left. "Oh, no one can forget about you Alana."

The brown-red eyed five-foot seven girl with messy crimson red hair that came just past her chin rolled her eyes. She wore a loose red tank top with a tight black spaghetti strap top underneath with ripped black stretch pants and bright red sneakers. "Ha ha, very funny." Alana made a face.

"Come on sis," the girl on Alana's left chuckled. "You know that they're just messing with you."

Alana huffed, turning and crossing her arms over her chest. "You don't think that I don't know that Hannah?"

The shoulder length blue tipped black haired girl with well-tanned skin and blue-violet eyes snickered softly. The five-foot four girl wore a simple blue lasagna strap top with white lace on the bottom and purple jean shorts. A pair of blue-purple tennis shoes covered her feet, and a purple headband held back her straight hair.

A boy sitting at the end of the table shook his head with a muttered, "Here we go again."

Emma raised a brow at him. "Do I want to know Jack?"

The penny brown spiky haired five-foot five and a half boy with orange-brown eyes and a light dusting of freckles on his face groaned. Jack wore a white t-shirt with a brown leather jacket tied around his waist, a pair of dusty jeans, as well as brown and white sneakers.

Jack sighed. "You know that they do this everyday right?" He said, referring to the two girls who were now in the middle of arguing.

The girl who sat across from Emma shook her head. "You know how Emma can be easily distracted. Besides," she said, waving off Emma's cry of "I am not!", "this is something that we've all grown used to."

Emma scowled, levelling a glare at the girl sitting in front of her. "Of course, Rebecca. Youwould know." Her voice was thick with sarcasm.

The blonde almost white haired blue/brown eyed five-foot six girl spluttered indigently. Rebecca wore a partially transparent white tee with a spaghetti strap top like Alana's underneath, only grey, with white jean shorts and white flats. Her hair was parted on the right side, so some of the just past shoulder length hair fell over her left brown eye. Her other eye was an icy blue.

The others laughed, and the boy sitting next to Jack howled out "Oh 'Becca! You should know better!"

Rebecca snarled as everyone else laughed. "Says you, Mr. I'm Going to Be Captain of The Football Team Cause I'm SOOO Great!"

The well-muscled boy scowled, and oh so maturely stuck out his tongue.

Emily laughed. "Come on Hank, 'Becca's just messing with you."

The smooth black-haired dark-coloured boy with green eyes groaned. Hank stood at five-foot seven, and he wore a black muscle shirt with grey shorts and black/grey running shoes. He, like Emma and Emily, wore fingerless gloves, only his were black with grey. A black leather jacket hung off the chair he sat on.

The girl sitting between Hank and Rebecca shook her head in exasperation, looking very tempted to either just sink into the floor or bury her face in her hands. Emma noticed, and gave her a small smile. "You okay Caitlin?"

The shoulder length blonde haired aqua green-eyed five-foot girl had a small frown on her face. Her hair, which had light blue and green streaks in it, was pulled into a low ponytail. Caitlin wore a black lasagna strap top with a detailed picture of the planet Earth on it, including stars in the background. She had a pair of ripped skinny jeans on with light green flats. Her wavy hair was held back by a blue and green bandana.

"It's just, I'm new here and all…" Caitlin trailed off, uncertain of how to word her sentence.

Hank smiled as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Cait, you're one of us now. Just because you've only known us for a month doesn't mean that you can't participate in our conversations."

Alana snorted. "Ya, if you call banter a conversation."

Hannah elbowed her fraternal twin in the side, snapping, "Alana!"

Jack quickly stood up and placed himself between the two before they could come to blows. "I will never understand why we let you two sit next to each other if all you're going to do is argue."

Rebecca laughed. "Come on Jack, you know that those two are as opposite as night and day. They will find anything to argue about just for the sake of arguing."

The twins snapped their heads towards Rebecca, both snapping "We do not!"

Emma nearly chocked on her milk as she laughed. "The only thing those two will agree on is the fact that they do not argue about everything."

"Darn straight!" Alana huffed as Hannah rolled her eyes.

Jack, sensing that argument was over, moved back to his side in relief. Being one of two boys in a group of eight, with six hormonal girls, each with a different personality, as well as being one of the few mediators, could be quite difficult!

Caitlin smiled, loosening up a bit as she laughed. The rest of the group smiled, happy that their newest member was slowly but surely warming up to them.

Actual conversation started to move around the group, each telling the others of their activities since they last saw each other. There was laughter as Jack told of how his older sister Karen, a brown eyed brunette with a thing for pink, had freaked when she found out that there was a rat in her room. A rat that was actually a remote-controlled cat toy that his dad had set up to frighten his daughter. Half the group ended up in tears when they learned that when Karen had found out the truth, she had chased her dad around the neighbourhood with a hair dryer, threatening bloody murder. Caitlin nearly choked on her soda laughing when Emma had admitted about being startled by her kitten that morning. Though Emily fell out of her chair in hysterics when she heard about how one of Hank's older brother's, Todd, had scared his other two brothers Jake and Albert with a fake tarantula. Of course, when Hank pulled out said fake tarantula, the girls went running with screams as he made it look as though the spider was alive. When the girls realized that it was a fake, via Jack's hyena like laughter, Hank was chased around the cafeteria by six pissed off thirteen-year-old girls while screaming that he had no regrets.

Jack did eventually manage to calm the girls down, preventing them from enacting torture on a cornered Hank. He also tried not to sink into the floor in embarrassment from half the cafeteria staring at them.

As Caitlin told of how her dad had lost control of the family car the night before, and somehow managed to hit the only stump, or object above ground level, for miles coming back from Texas, an annoying voice pierced the happy atmosphere.

"Well, if it isn't the Rainbow Squad."

A sound akin to a growl rose in Emma's throat as she, along with her seven friends, turned to see a five-foot six boy with dark brown hair and almost black eyes. His attire consisted of a faded red shirt with a monster truck on it and baggy jean with brown work boots.

The girl beside him sneered. "More like the looser squad."

She had long, meticulously styled wavy black hair and brown eyes. She was five-foot eight, with dark brown skin and a voluptuous figure. She wore a tight white blouse and pink miniskirt that left nothing to hide. She had white knee-high boots with thick two-inch heels. Her face was smothered in makeup, which honestly made her look like a fake doll.

A small crowd of girls and boys with similar styles stood behind the two, all too eager for what they thought was about to come.

"Liam, Jada," Emma ground out as she stood up, "what do you want?" It was obvious that Emma was not too far away from pouncing on the two and kicking them to kingdom come.

The girl, Jada, let out an annoying high-pitched laugh. "What, I can't talk to my least favourite group in the world?"

There were several snarls from behind Emma as Liam and Jada's posse began to laugh.

"Yeah," the boy, Liam, grinned maliciously, "my day isn't complete until I remind you who's in charge!"

The whole group of bullies began to laugh harshly.

Emma's group went silent as she gripped the top of her chair, making it groan from the pressure. Jack grimaced as he mentally prepared to clean up the coming disaster. "Oh no…"

Emily gulped. "They awoke the beast!"

It was common knowledge around Riverside High; never, never ever, piss off Emma McFord. Emma had a notable reputation around the town for her… treatment towards bullies. Many of whom ended up with more than a few bruises, as well as some busted parts.

And Jada and Liam were about to be swiftly reminded of it.

"You in charge?" Emma ground out, eyes flashing.

Liam laughed, not noticing the creaking sound that Emma's hand was making on the plastic chair. "Of course!" He grinned, "After all, you lot are nothing more than ants, willing to do our bidding."

Jada grinned, adding fuel to the already raging inferno that was Emma's temper. "Yes, and besides, you're so pathetic I'm amazed that your mom hasn't left you yet like your father!"

That was the wrong thing to say.

The entire cafeteria went silent as Emma snarled, "I have no father."

The posse began to back up. Their leaders had gone too far, and none of them wanted to get caught in the crossfire. If there was one line they should not cross, it was that one.

But the two bullies were too wrapped up in their teasing and taunting to realize the fatal error they had just made. Everyone, students and staff alike, knew that no matter what, never, ever bring up the topic of Emma's father. Jada and Liam were going to pay.

Liam laughed, he, like Jada, completely oblivious to the growing fury in front of him. "You're probably so pathetic that he just left right after you were born beca-!"

Anything else Liam was going to say was stopped as Emma buried her right fist into his cheek, sending the jock-to-be sailing.

Jada cried out in surprise, before Emma's left palm met her right cheek, a loud smack ringing about the silent room. The black stumbled back in shock and pain, hands clutching her now bruised cheek.

Before Emma could lunge forward and do further damage, Emily, Alana and Hannah all grabbed her. Emma struggled against their hold for a few more seconds before relenting, her anger dissipating.

The posse took the chance to pick up their leaders and run. Nothing was worth getting pummelled by the most violent girl in school!

Emma stared after the disappearing bullies with a blank look, a single tear sliding down her face. Hannah took notice, and gently guided Emma back to her seat. As the black blue haired girl pulled the blonde-blue haired girl into a comforting hug, the others fumed. How dare those two bring up something like that! Emma did notdeserve to be reminded of him!

Emma looked up from where her head was resting on Hannah's shoulder. A small smile flickered onto her tear stained face. I'm glad that I have such wonderful friends…

Hannah, sensing that the crisis had passed, pulled out of the hug and smiled. "How about we talk about what we're going to be doing after school?"

There were murmurs of agreement from all around, and conversation started anew.

"So…" Emily asked, "what exactly are we doing tonight?"

Emma grinned. "We're putting on a concert. Remember?"

Jack nodded. "Yeah, isn't it a charity concert or something?"

"It's a fundraising concert actually." Rebecca corrected. "And it's so we can help renovate the community centre."

"Yeah," Caitlin piped up, "that place is in serious need of repair and updating."

"I know that." Emily scowled, "But when and where are we going to hold it?"

There were groans from all around.

"You seriously forgot already?!" Alana snapped. "We have been planning this for the past two freaking months!"

"Language!" Hannah reprimanded, before turning to Emily "But Emily, how did you forget?"

Emily coughed uncomfortably. "Uh… well… uh…" she grimaced in embarrassment "I may or may not have been paying attention?" She rushed the last four words, turning bright pink in humiliation.

Alana, Caitlin, Hank and Emma all snickered while Hannah, Jack and Rebecca shook their heads. Oh Emily…

Emily buried her face in her hands. It's not her fault that she gets easily distracted!

…that, and she got bored easily as well.

Emma shook off her laughter, and patted Emily's shoulder. "Don't worry Emily, it happens to all of us from time to time."

Emily gave Emma a thankful smile, and the snickering died down.

Giving the green tipped brunette a knowing look, Emma continued, "And just as a reminder, it's at the community centre, the event begins at six, and the concert starts at seven."

Emily nodded thankfully, and the group resumed normal conversation.

…normal conversation being hysterical laughter and nearly choking on their drinks. But hey, every friend group had their own norms.

After School Finished…

Emma smiled as she walked off the school grounds, waving to her friends as they headed off in their separate directions: Alana and Hannah to grab the equipment for the concert; Emily had to go to her team soccer game; Rebecca had piano lessons; Caitlin had violin practice; Hank had to join his three brothers for a football training session; and Jack had a doctor's appointment.

Emma, seeing as she was the one who had originally organized the event, was heading towards where it was occurring. She had to make sure that everything was set up correctly; the vendors, the stage, the sound equipment, the booths, and that all the volunteers were able to make it to their assigned stations. Thirteen she may be, but Emma had to learn at a young age how to take charge.

Shaking off the rather unpleasant memories that came with the thought, Emma quickened her pace slightly. Storm clouds had begun to form, so the blue striped blonde-haired girl wanted to get there before it rained in the event that they had to either relocate inside, or they had to cancel.

Emma seriously prayed that if worse comes to worse, that it was the former, not the latter they would do.

As she sped up her pace, the atmosphere seemed to increase in pressure, as though it was trying to crush her. Lightning flashed overhead with a loud bang, sending Emma crashing to the ground with her hands covering her head. The air around the fallen girl began to feel charged, and Emma started to push herself up, only for the ground to shake. The thirteen-year-old gave a yelp as she was sent back to the ground.

The ground seemed to soften, and as Emma pulled herself back up, it cracked. Hearing the cracking, her arctic blue eyes shot wide open.

But before she could recover, the ground split open. Emma barely managed to scream as she fell, before her vision went black.

The world spun around her, but no air rushed past her. Emma could feel the sensation of falling, and yet it seemed as though she barely moved at all in the black abyss that surrounded her.

Then, out of nowhere, there was a bright burst of colour, and Emma found herself tumbling onto a cold stone floor.

"Ow…" she groaned as she laid there. "Did someone get the number of the bus that hit me?"

Getting no response, Emma pushed herself upwards with a pained sound, knowing that she was going to feel that later. Blinking her eyes, they widened in shock before she rubbed them. What in the world…?!

She was inside some kind of gigantic stone chamber, with six delicately carved pillars holding up a circular arched ceiling. In the centre of the chamber was some sort of half sphere with six holes in it. Between each of the pillars were stone archways, each of which most likely led to the outside.

"Where am I?" Emma blinked. The place seemed familiar, but she could not place where. Honestly, it reminded her of a temple of some sort. But why would-

A scuttling sound came from behind one of the pillars, and Emma automatically snapped her head towards it. There was a brief flash of green metal, followed by what sounded like a strangled yelp.

Emma's jaw dropped in shock as what looked like a two-and-a-half-foot humanoid robot with glowing orange-white eyes fell from behind the pillar. A slightly taller black robot with glowing green eyes popped his head out, glancing at her in fear before grabbing its friend, dragging the green bot behind the pillar.

A flash of red caught the corner of her eye, and Emma's head snapped towards it. She only managed to get a brief look at the red bot peeking out from behind another pillar, before it was yanked back by a pair of blue hands.

Realization hit Emma in the face like a ton of bricks. Eyes widening, she gasped out, "This can't be…"

But it was. There was only one place she knew of that looked like this inhabited by small 'robots'. "…the Kini Nui…"

A/N- And done.

This chapter was pretty much just the introductions for my OC and her friends, as well as a few side characters. The real action begins next chapter.

I only introduced Pepper in order to show you readers which universe this was set in. The Avengers won't come in till later. Much later.

'Till then, read, review, and enjoy!

Next Chapter: The Beginning
