Pyrus

*“Why are we here? Just to suffer? Us Rahkshi are slaves! We have no right to be locked up like this!”* - Pyrus’s classic line

### Dislikes

Life

**Pyrus** was a genetically modified Rahkshi of Sleep. He was notably a substantial amount shorter than his fellow Rahkshi, standing and about Matoran height. He was also constantly depressed.

## History

Pyrus first came to the House in mid-2018, directly before the Ultimate Battle. He introduced himself to the others, as well as showcasing his Cendox V2. He then took part in a street race between him on his Cendox, Takua on his Mini Axalara and a couple of Matoran riding a Quad Bike, which he won.

Shortly thereafter, Teridax arrived and punished the Rahkshi for their disobedience, singling out Pyrus and Katuna for making fun of him. They were both assigned to a toilet cleaning job, during which Pyrus suddenly became comically depressed and started rambling for roughly half an hour about the unfair ways Rahkshi were treated, somehow ending in talks about the deeper meaning of life.

After this conversation, he and Katuna broke out of the toilet block to participate in the Ultimate Battle itself.

That weekend, he visited Nanny and Grandad’s House along with Katuna and Orzehk. While there, to add to his already laughably edgy character, Pyrus began hearing voices in his head, and later somehow got trapped in a wooden cage, which he was eventually broken out of. He was dismantled during the first Moc Purge, but rebuilt shortly after.

Pyrus became a regular appearance soon afterwards, now characterised entirely by his hilariously over-the-top depression. He often accompanied Orzehk. Soon, however, he and Orzehk were deconstructed for parts, sending them to the Retcon Universe.

While there, Pyrus and Orzehk survived entirely off a sack of uncooked baked beans, leading to Orzehk’s addiction. Pyrus also took to secretly playing Fortnite without Orzehk’s permission. Orzehk built countless houses for the two of them during the time they were there, but they were always blown up by Jeff.

Katuna, Memphis and Intor would arrive at Orzehk’s latest house in 2020, but Jeff quickly detonated it. In the wreckage of the building, Orzehk found Pyrus’ computer to be displaying the Fortnite loading screen, prompting him to attempt to spank the midget Rahkshi. Orzehk was shot by a Heavy Guard before he could make contact however, with the officer claiming that spanking was illegal. Two more Heavy Guards asked Pyrus about his involvement in the matter, before realising he had been playing Fortnite and arresting him too.

Pyrus and the others were promptly sent to the Bionic States Prison of Bolivia, where he was interviewed and hence classified as a low-risk prisoner. During lunchtimes, he visited the Moody, Depressed Fortnite Players Club, joined by the Unnamed Toa of Earth. For his first prison job, he was assigned to toilet cleaning with Katuna, leading to a situation echoing the predicament from Ultimate Battle, complete with depressing dialogue.

When deciding on how to break out of the prison, Pyrus inferred that he might have a suitable plan, however Orzehk interrupted, claiming his plan was better.

Pyrus then enacted Orzehk’s plan, staying with him in the Engineering Club room to help construct the escape ladder. He gave a crude axe to Katuna to hide in his bed for later.

When night fell, Pyrus attempted to hack through his cell bars with his axe, but its poor construction led to the blade breaking off. After some quick bickering with Orzehk, he slipped the handle of the axe through the bars and used it to open his cell with the keypad. He then unlocked Katuna, Orzehk, Intor, Memphis and Duracell Bad Guy‘s cells, the latter providing him with a Laser Guard’s uniform to use as a disguise. After breaking into the storeroom, Pyrus discarded the disguise and put his original clothes back on. As the chaotic prison riot broke out, Pyrus and the rest of the group escaped via their ladder, with Katuna safely floating him to the ground. They then took refuge in a nearby Subway, before being suddenly kidnapped by Ronald Dump and General Covfefe.

Pyrus was present during President Dump’s conference, but he didn’t contribute in any meaningful way.

After acquiring the Olmak, Pyrus and the rest of the group travelled through many different universes, before getting the idea to recruit these alter-dimensional people as a strong force against Zardok.

After doing so, he and the others travelled back to their own universe to fight Zardok and his own forces. Once the battle was won, Pyrus joined with the other main characters to celebrate the victory.

Pyrus was present at the New Years celebration, but did not contribute. He evacuated the area when Bobson Dugnutt arrived.

In early 2023, Pyrus and the rest of the Main Characters were hunted down by the Purple Hand Gam. Pee Pee Boy used his pyrokinetic powers to set Pyrus alight, before Bearman II blasted his body apart. The two then dumped his remains into the Parts Drawers.

## Trivia

- The entire reason Pyrus was originally so short was simply so he could ride the Cendox V2.

- Speaking of the Cendox, the vehicle was owned by Pyrus, yet it appeared only a single time and never since, almost completely forgotten.

- If not for the completely unintentional depressing nature of Pyrus’ original speech, it would be extremely likely that he would’ve been quickly scrapped and forgotten like Techatron, Onorahk and Evil Makuta as just one of many random throwaway characters. So, in a way, Pyrus’ depression saved his life.
