Preview for a one-shot story. · 6:15pm Dec 15th, 2013
Hello everyone. I'm just posting this because I'm working on a one-shot crossover of MLP and Bionicle called From One Ruler to Another (Thanks for Metroid Predaking Prime for the title, by the way). It may take me a while before I post but I do have a small preview ready. Here it is:
Celestia’s eyes shot open and she gasped as she found herself no longer in Discord’s vault of treasures. She stood in a large void with not a creature or thing in sight, except for the only white nothingness.
“Where am I? What is this place?” Her words echoed and became the only sound she heard in this desolate place.
Quickly, Celestia tried to look for an exit. She looked right, left, up, and down, but there was nothing in sight. Celestia stifled a curse as she continued her vain search. “This must be Discord’s doing!” she told herself. “This must be some spell he placed as a joke!”
“I can assure you this is no spell,” a voice spoke.
The sudden appearance of this voice almost made Celestia jump. “Whose there?! Show yourself” she demanded, now searching for the voice.
“Do not be afraid. I mean you no harm,” again said the voice–a stallion’s, Celestia believed from the deep tone. The voice itself was coming from everywhere and nowhere, making it hard to figure out where its owner was.
Her eyes narrowed with suspicion. “Then show yourself! If you do not mean any harm, then there is no need to hide!”
“Very well.” There was a brief paused before he said, “Perhaps, you should turn around.”
Celestia did and she gawked at what she saw.
There she was, staring up at a metal giant that stood on its two legs, thousands–no millions of feet tall. It was a ‘he,’ Celestia could tell from the facial structure, and from the upper body resemble a male minotaur. The block head lowered and its glowing yellow eyes gazed at Celestia. A smaller block that was the jaw lowered as he spoke.
“Welcome.” Celestia covered her ears from the sheer volume. Even if the giant was speaking “softly”–which she thought he was doing–his voice felt like a thousand bells ringing all at once.
“T-that is most impressive,” she admitted, her ears ringing a little. “Maybe you should try to lower your voice a little.”
The yellow eyes softened and the giant spoke even quieter, though booming in Celestia’s ears. “I see this form is intimidating to you. I will try something else.”
The same flash of light that brought Celestia to this place engulfed the giant, and once again, she had to look away to not be blinded. A few moments later, and the light was gone. “Is this better?” Celestia heard. This time, the giant’s voice was at a normal volume.
She looked at the giant to find he was not a giant, though he was still bipedal. Now, he was tall as a minotaur and covered in golden armor, the look completed with the strange mask Celestia found. The two blue eyes occupied the eyeholes and the mouth piece was gone, revealing a metal jaw.
“What are you?” Celestia could only ask. Her best guess was a golem, but what golem wore a mask and could speak like this creature did?
That's it. I hope you liked it. Please let me know if there are any problems and give me advice as to how to fix it. Thank you.
