The Avatar Games
The Avatar Games is the story of how Gunner, Sharian, and Tablor find themselves in a pocket dimension in which the only way to escape, is to win the Avatar Games. The Avatar Games are a series of gladiator contest in which the participants man a bio-mechanical clone of themselves (or avatar), and fight other contestants to the death.

Chapter 1. The Silver Ghost Pocket Dimension Gunner found himself twisting and tumbling through, what could only be a portal. One small misplacement of his footing, and Gunner had tumbled into, what he thought, was just a pool of water. As the portal opened up, Gunner fell heavily to the ground, and he knew no more. When Gunner finally opened his eyes, he found himself in a strange room; it seemed to be made out of solid, silver light. Protodermis; It must have been. A large figure approached towards Gunner. "Where am I?" Gunner asked the figure.

"You are in the Silver Ghost Pocket Dimension," replied the figure. "My name is Xartak, and I will be your trainer for the upcoming Avatar Games."

"What are the Avatar Games?" asked the Toa of Magnetism.

"The Avatar Games are a series of gladiator contests, held each year, in the great coliseum, for the entertainment of the Emperor. The contestants are placed on teams of three, and they attempt to win the Avatar Games by killing all the other opponents. The winning team, and coach for that matter, are granted freedom

"I don't want to be in the Avatar Games," Gunner told the Xartak, "I just wan't to get back home."

"For 15 years, I have been trying to get my freedom. I have trained 15 teams, and a total of 45 contestants, and yet, I am still here. But now I have found the perfect team whom I know will win. If you and the two other toa I have win, I will grant you your freedom." Xartak finished and looked down upon Gunner.

"Whom are the other two you speak of?" asked Gunner.

"Oh, they say their names are Sharian and Tablor. I've already made their avatars. Yours is not quite ready yet."

"What is an avatar?" asked Gunner astonished by all this, "and what do you mean by 'my avatar?'" For an answer, Xartak led Gunner into another room, filled with stasis tubes.

"In the Avatar Games, you yourself won't be fighting. Your avatar will. What is an avatar, you ask? Well, it is a bio-mechanical clone of yourself. You will pilot it when I synchronize your minds; you will see out of its eyes, move its limbs. The good part is, if your avatar gets killed, you won't die; only the avatar will." Xartak led Gunner over to one of the stasis tubes. Inside it, Gunner saw what appeared to be a larger version of himself, with both mechanical and organic parts. "This is your avatar, Gunner," Xartak said. "Now, would you like to meet your teammates, Sharian and Tablor?"

Chapter 2. Infinity Sharian found himself on a place called the Silver Ghost Pocket Dimension. Apparently he has stumbled through a portal earlier that week; but how? The last thing he remembered was- "Here they are, Tablor and Sharian," the one called Xartak said to an unknown person "my other recruits."

The thought of these 'Avatar Games' frightened him. What if he didn't win, what if he lost? Then he would be stuck in this pocket dimension forever; endlessly fighting.

"Sharian, Tablor, would you mind introducing yourselves to Gunner?" Xartak said quickly. Tablor didn't seem as quick on the draw today as Sharian. He had landed here as well, from the same demension. Sharian stood up to greet Gunner.

"Hello, Gunner. I'm Sharian, toa of time."

"Toa of time? They actually exist, I thought it was a myth...?" Gunner looked wide eyed.

"My power is very rare. I have power over space as well, so I can time travel." Sharian replied, slightly annoyed.

Tablor finally set up, but he didn't quite see any interest in Gunner, so he walked away. He looked at the window and sighed. That made Sharian continue thinking.

He had been running from and enemy, Ultimatrum, who proved to powerful to beat. Apparently the Dark Hunters had a price on his head. Sharian ran; straight into a puddle of some sort. A harmless puddle. But then something happened, he tried slowing down Ultimatrum with his powers, but it wouldn't work. This hadn't happened before; and it was an awful time for it not to. Suddenly the harmless puddle swallowed him up, launching him into a never ending pit; which reminded him of his life, time travel could keep him from dying. He truly was infinite. But that made situations worse. People die; if they don't they become crazy at one point. Same way with time travel, if a regular person figured it out and tried it, they'd go crazy. You had to have time and space powers just for time travel to work, and if you didn't, only one like him could help you.

So apparently this puddle was a portal. Go figure!

Once Gunner had introduced himself, Sharian sat back down. Huh, that's weird, he had came from the same universe as well.

Chapter 3. The Way of the Fool Staring out the window, Tablor listened to the conversation between Gunner and Sharian. He could hear them planning an escape, but he knew escape was hopeless. He could feel the power radiating from this place. A power so great, not even he could match it. He knew that the power was blocking their powers completely. Sharian couldn’t control time, Gunner couldn't control magnetism, and Tablor couldn’t control everything. Thinking back on how he had gotten here, Tablor felt foolish. When out walking with his “pet” Kinoka, he had noticed something he had believed to be extinct, the Iron wolves. Those creatures had wiped out his whole species. Once the creature saw him, it started to run, and so did Tablor. Using the power of speed, Tablor ran right in front of the Iron wolf, forcing it to skid to a halt. Pulling out sword, Tablor ran at the beast. As he got close to the beast, the beast morphed into a matoran. Stopping, Tablor stared at the matoran. The matoran stared back. Tablor saw that the matoran’s eyes were pure black. Tablor noticed the matoran was completely solid, not real. Suddenly, the matoran exploded in a huge wave of energy. Tablor landed in a pit that out of no where, appeared underneath him. Looking up while falling, Tablor noticed the ground closed up behind him. Then, there was a flash, and he woke up here.

Chapter 4. Behind a Stranger's Eyes "Okay," Xartak said, cutting across Gunner's and Sharian's whispered plans to escape, "let's get down to business. You are going to have to get used to your new avatar bodies. He lead the three toa over to, what looked the robots wired into booths, set against the wall. "These are your exo-suites," explained Xartak, "you will use them to control your avatars movements." They suited in, and Gunner pulled the visor down over his eyes, and did a double take. He was now peering out at the ceiling through a stasis tube. "Whoa," Gunner said, as he gazed through his avatar's eyes. "This is bizarre." He flexed the avatar's fingers and tried to sit up, hitting his head against the stasis tube. "Ouch!" Back in the exo-suite, pain shout through Gunner's head.

"Careful," Xartak warned the toa, "you can still feel pain if your avatar get's hurt. Lay still, I'm going to open the tubes. Gunner stepped out of his tube and immediately fell down. To his left, Sharian staggered a few steps forward and crashed into a tool shelf. As for Tablor, he had managed to jam his avatar in the stasis tube, and had to be pulled out by two of Xartak's assistants. Gunner pushed himself to his feet and staggered drunkenly forward, almost falling again.

"Come on, Gunner," Sharian said cheerly, clapping Gunner on the back, "careful now, don't trip again!"

"You better watch it, or I'll fall on you," Gunner retorted smiling. They were enjoying themselves now.

"Not if I get to him first!" cried Tablor, charging towards Sharian, ramming in to him. Soon the three of them were locked in a three-way wrestling match, each trying to pin down the other.

"Alright, alright, enough fooling around." Xartak walked calmly up to them. "You've had your fun, now let's start training. You're going to learn how to fight, using metal rods, before you get any real weapons.

"Oh, come on," protested Sharian, "we know how to fight!"

Xartak smiled, "Trust me, it's a lot harder fighting through another body."
