User blog comment:LoganWoerner/January 2014 Blueprint: Merall vs. Niha/@comment-24510871-20131231025255

Absolutely loving On at the moment. I think it's a great way to re-introduce Niha's character to the wiki and I'm looking forward to reading what you've got in store. Bob's chapter was awesome and really shows how much Niha has to learn about the world despite the considerable amount of time she's already spent in it.

As for Merall (whose drawing is great, by the way) vs Niha? I honestly can't call it. :P Niha's analytical nature and incredible robotic reflexes would be troublesome for Merall. While I do think she'll definitely take a few hits, she will most likely learn how to avoid them and perhaps counter them after studying Merall's fighting style. But as was mentioned in the story, Merall was trained to find and exploit weaknesses, so she probably has a host of tricks up her sleeve and has no problem adapting her technique accordingly.

As for the Great Apocalypse, my theory is that the Great Spirit Robot did crash but landed north of the Southern Continent, hence the inability to communicate with anyone who would have been north of the SC at that time. The earthquake itself was caused by the robot hitting a landmass (rather than the ocean, which it did in the official story), also explaining why the damage caused was more severe.

Also, would it be okay if I post the chapter of my story in which Niha appears? It's basically just a quick description of her inactive form as observed by a new Order of Mata Nui recruit. It's only a cameo after all. :P

Anyway, have a happy new year! :D
