Mission 30: Saviour of Quatros (3 of 3)

Mission:
Saviour of Quatros
Team:

Veterans Preston Stormer, Will Furno, Dunkan Bulk and Jimi Stringer with rookies Julius Nex and Daniel Rocka

Objective:
Confront the Witch Doctor and save Quatros from destruction.

Rocka's Log:

I admit that I've had better ideas but I'm a rookie so you gotta expect me to make a mistake every now and then. After the celling collapsed I began to dig my way out. As soon as I was free I was greeted by a familiar face.
"Rocka?" Stormer said while looking at me in shock.
"Yep." I said. "So how did you escape the Witch Doctor?"
"Forget that." Stormer said. "How did you get down here and why are you in the XL armour?"
"Hey?" I said quizzically. "How do you know that this is XL armour. The factory said that it was top secret."

"Top secret to any Hero except me." Stormer replied. "I was originally supposed to be upgraded into that armour if anything went dangerously wrong on Quatros. But since I was captured and you were the only one to escape, I it had to be you."

"You mean this armour wasn't meant for me?" I said with a feeling that my core had just lost a bit of glow.

"Hey don't beat yourself up kid." Stormer said. "Save that for the enemy their is a pack of 'em heading this way now."

I nodded. No matter how I felt, the mission was more important. I looked at Stormer and saw how tired he looked. He hadn't had a quaza charge in ages.

"Here." I said while giving him a quaza pack. "Take it, you need the charge."

"Thanks." He replied with a smile on his face. "Now lets take down the enemy."

After fighting through packs of Fangz we finally made it to a massive cave with a large structure in it. Around the sides were lots of skulls that made a frightening atmosphere and in the centre was Witch Doctor on a makeshift throne, barking orders at the beasts as they mined out the very heart of Quatros itself.

"This is it." Stormer said.

"Lets go!" I shouted as we jumped in and began battling the enemy. Many of the beasts tried to stop us but we defeated them one by one until I got to the Witch Doctor. Stormer kept the beasts back while I took down the Witch Doctor himself.

"So Rocka?" Witch Doctor said. "How do you like my little mining excavation."

"I would say that it looks pretty good if it weren't illegal." I replied coldly.

"You hero's were timid." He taunted. "You stopped mining on this planet for no good reason and now you will pay the price for your mistake."

"We had a reason." I replied with anger in my voice. "Mining would make the planet fall apart."

"And who cares about this planet." He said while loading his weapon. "No-one. All that is here is plants and dumb animals, everything is worthless except the quaza that fills this world."

I'd had enough and opened fire. Witch Doctor jumped away and then shot at me. I avoided that shot and grabbed him with my claw and threw him across the cave. I then jumped and tried to slam him down but he rolled away and used his staff to drain the quaza directly from my core. I began to feel weaker and weaker but with a final effort I shot the staff out of his hand and then pinned him down quickly. Stormer then grabbed the staff and snapped in two. The beasts became free and the quaza spikes impaled in them shattered.

"Looks like your reign over these beasts is over." Stormer taunted.

"NO!!!" Witch Doctor roared. "The quaza should be mine I retrieved it! It belongs to me!"

"Quaza belongs to no-one but the hero's Witch Doctor!" I said. "And don't you forget it!"

The planet shook again and I got a bad feeling that we hadn't saved Quatros just yet.

"Hey!" Shouted Nex as he ran in with Furno, Stringer and Bulk.

"Little late for the party you four." Stormer said.

"Hey don't blame us." Bulk said.

"Yeah." Stringer agreed. "We weren't the ones who shoot the roof down."

The planet shook yet again and more violently this time.

"Anyone got any ideas how we stop Quatros falling apart."

"Actually yes." I said.

I showed everyone inside the temple like structure that Witch Doctor had made his base and showed them a massive hole.

"Down there is the heart of Quatros." I announced.

"Looks a bit dim." Nex commented.

I took the remaining power packs that I had on me and began throwing them down the hole. "Everyone!" I said. "Fill the core up with enough quaza to stabilise it, this is the only way."

We all threw as much as we could into the core including most of the quaza that Witch Doctor dug out. Eventually it lit up brighter than a star going super nova and the earth quakes stopped and I knew that our mission here was finally complete.

We had got up to the ship and prepare to leave. The Witch Doctor was in cuffs and we were ready to go home. I looked back on Quatros and thought about all that had happened here. The planet had returned to its former glory and light filled the skies again.

"Hey Rocka!" Furno shouted. "Are you coming."

"Yep." I said as I ran for the ship wondering what adventures may lay ahead as I'm just one rookie and there's still a whole universe to explore out there...

More 2012 Pictures!

Hi,

Some more set images have just surfaced online however not a wide variety but the main thing is that it gives us a look at the new packaging they're using in 2012 along with some other things. Here they are:

6200 Evo Packaging

6201 Toxic Reapa Packaging

6202 Rocka Packaging

6203 Black Phantom Packaging

That was the pics and I think they looks cool. I like that they are changing the packaging for the smaller sets and it looks more like a bag than a box or a canister but its still cool and I just hopes that its of a good quality. How does this make you feel? Please comment and follow,

Mission 29: The Escape (2 of 3)

Mission:
The Escape
Team: 

Veterans Preston Stormer and Will Furno

Objective:
Confront the Witch Doctor and save Quatros from destruction.

Stormer's Log:

Personally, I'd had enough of the Witch Doctors rants about revenge and how he as cast out and what not. When you've been around as long as I have you get used to the same old story from villains. They never learn.

Unfortunately, I had been captured and dragged all this way underground to see some illegal mining excavation of quaza. The bad thing was that Witch Doctor and his beasts were fairly close to the core of Quatros and the planet was already beginning to fall to pieces.

I was about to lose hope until I heard the Witch Doctor say that the other hero's were on their was down to help and were going to be here soon. Now being the damsel in distress is not my style so I think that its about time I make an escape attempt and meet up with the others to attack in the greatest numbers possible.

I found the opportunity when a massive tremor shook the cave and stalagmites started falling to the ground. The Fangz that guarded me lost balance and I jumped for it. It didn't take the beasts long to come down after me but luck struck me and rock struck them, they were buried under rouble and I kept running for the exit.

"STOP HIM!!!" Witch Doctor shouted. "DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!!!"

A Waspix dived towards me and I ducked but kept my hands up. The beasts tail slashed through my cuffs and I was free.

I recovered my gun and took out the Waspix before it could come back for another strike. I then ran though one of the tunnels with a pack of Fangz in hot pursuit.

I tried contacting Furno but all I got was static and mixed up words.

"Furno can you here me?" I said.

"Alpha... need... under... can... out." Furno said over the communicator from what I could work out but their was to much static due to the mineral compound down here.

I could hear the Fangz behind me and decided to keep running. I didn't stop until I reached a dead end and I prepared to face the beasts. I thought that things were bad enough as they were but just the a giant claw ripped though the wall in front and I feared for the worst...

Hero Recon Team Update!!!

Hi,

The LEGO Design By Me program is planned to end on 16th January 2012 and custom models will not be able to be ordered after this date. However the program will still allow you to create models just not order them home. The LEGO company claims that it is hard to master for little kids and is trying to come up with a better way to do this. On the bright side the Hero Recon Team program will still be up and models will still be able to be purchased of there after the 16th January 2012. What do you think about this? Please comment and follow,

Review Update

Hi,

Its been a while since I've made a post and with nothing much to blog about I decided just to do an overall update of reviews and some other stuff. There will probably be no reviews in November as Christmas is drawing near so I'll save all the reviews for December. Meanwhile I'll be finishing off Mission on Savage Planet which only has two missions to go. The story will be finished up by the end of November and will finish up the first series of missions. I am still deciding whether to change the style of missions for series two or keep it as it is, that is where you get your say. Please leave a comment bellow about whether you think I should change the style of the missions or keep them the same and also following the blog would be appreciated if your not already,

Mission 28: Going Under (1 of 3)

Mission:
Going Under
Team: 

Veterans Will Furno, Jimi Stringer and Dunkan Bulk with rookie Julius Nex and Daniel Rocka

Objective:
Confront the Witch Doctor and save Quatros from destruction.

Rocka's Log:

Once I returned to the Hero Factory and gave my mission report the workers at the Factory knew that we had to surprise Witch Doctor with something knew. When I returned to Quatros my fellow hero's were certainly surprised by it. I was the first Hero of the new XL series.

"Miss me?" I asked sarcastically.

"Not to much." Furno said with a smile.

I gave them each a quaza power pack because they looked like they needed charging up. They then explained the situation to me and I knew what we had to do go underground and save Stormer.

Since the main entrance had collapsed we had to find another one. Luckily Bulk knew where one was from our first assault on Quatros and all we had to do was hope it was intact.

Nex then approached me and asked: "How's it feel."

"What do you mean?" I replied.

"Being so big."

"I'm not really sure." I said. "I guess it makes me feel stronger but other than that it just feels like I'm... me."

"Its good to see you though." He said. "We were not sure that anyone was coming for us."

"I wasn't going to give up." I said. "I was going to get reinforcements no matter what, its just that I didn't think I was going to be a one-hero-army."

"Me neither." Nex said with a chuckle.

I was about to reply but Stringer cut me off. "We're here!" He said.

"Good." I said. "Now lets get down their and show Witch Doctor who he's messing with."

We had been travelling underground for a while and we eventually came to a fork in the path.

"What do we do?" Bulk asked. "Split up?"

"I don't think that's a good idea" I said. "We need to attack the Witch Doctor in high numbers. Nex?"

"The doc's this way according to the scanner." Nex said.

"Then that's the way we go." I ordered.

"But that's not the only thing I'm picking up." Nex said while stopping me from marching on. "I'm also picking up something much closer."

"What is it?" Furno asked.

"It's a Scorpio." Bulk whispered while stuttering in fear.

"Hey how did you know that?" Furno replied.

Bulk didn't have to say anything, he just pointed his finger down the tunnel.

"How did that thing even fit down here?" Stringer asked sarcastically.

"Don't know but it ain't staying." I said as I opened fire on the beast. At first it seemed like a good idea but the I realised how wrong I was. One shot went wrong suddenly the whole sealing came collapsing down on me and then I could feel a enormous weight pressing against me and if it hadn't been for my XL armour I be flattened. However, with or without the armour, I'm still stuck between a rock and a hard place...
