Summary: Mata Nui x Kiina oneshot. these two were made for each other. funny ending with Teridax, Mata Nui x Kiina lemon.

By the Spirit, where do I even begin. It's uncanon even before it gets to the sour yellow fruit bit, as it starts with Mata Nui returning with the power source he needs for the prototype robot while it's only been "days" (and I quote) after the Battle of Roxtus. No, no no no, he didn't go up to the Valley of the Great Beings until approximately five months after that battle, so one down right there.

The prose is awkward and odd and painful to read, and that's before the dialogue, which is OOC and also painful. (Mata Nui uses a contraction ["I'm"] in his first line of dialogue, for the love of the Great Beings!) The timeline is all messed to Karzahni, as Mata Nui is trying to convince Raanu to let him use the prototype robot (which the Glatorian and Agori are using as their home) to fight Makuta Teridax, when in canon Mata Nui convinced Raanu to let him do that before going on his quest to find the battery.

Gresh is written as a paranoid little pest, suggesting Mata Nui would use the abilities of his giant robot body for destructive purposes when he has seen Mata Nui be nothing but noble and selfless, and the words put in his mouth say Mata Nui thinks he is better than them when, again, Gresh respects Mata Nui. Ackar's pretty much in character when he admonishes Gresh, though, which is a small light in the shadows.

The dialogue is, again, painful. In addition, Mata Nui knows more things in more detail than it seems like he should, like the Great Beings' original plan to have two giant robots for the reforming of Spherus Magna and that Makuta Teridax was in fact destined for one of them.

Then the sex scene. Not only is it not erotic in the slightest, the euphemisms it uses aren't even interesting ("love" for... well, everything from tingling in the 'nads to the 'nads themselves, as well as "heat" for erotic feelings), and the sex scene itself is completely uncanon because Mata Nui A, doesn't have the bits for it, and B, as a creation of the Great Beings along the lines of the inhabitants of his giant robot body AKA the Matoran Universe, couldn't feel sexual attraction if he wanted to. Greg Farshtey said so, no one has to like it but it is going against canon.

Also there was one line where the Mask of Life apparently has opinions on 'forbidden love' and I don't even care anymore.

Then... -sigh- Then Teridax... notices that the two had sex... and there was a mention of potential nosebleeds... and words in his mouth more appropriate to the typical teenager than the suave scheming son of a Doom Viper that Teridax really is... and ugh okay it's terrible and there are tense shifts and a lack of scene breakers and Teridax was freaking out which is not the right wording if he's disturbed by something PLEASE to be retaining the dignity of an evil schemer with more plans than months he's been alive and... and ugh. Also not much description anywhere, yay not.

I think the Mata Nui is a replacement, what with the whole him having equipment appropriate for sexing thing. Gresh is probably just possessed and Raanu is OOC a bit, I'm not sure about Kiina but she's more OOC than Ackar (but then he's pretty much entirely IC so that's not hard). Teridax will need neuralyzing and that will be a fun little adventure for any agents going into this thing won't it. Anyone got a way to neuralyze a spirit possessing a 40 million foot tall robot?

Verdict: Somebody forcefeed me Bleeprin before I get my hands on a spork and cause injury to my eyes.
