"Now that was an interesting visit." Rainbow turned and waved to the assembled Ponytoran, who waved back and cheered. "It's not every day you find ou you're the Toa of Loyalty."
Rainbow had found herself on the shore of Ponyville Nui, and had been immediately attracted to the large, open sand dunes.
Lot of racing opportunity in there. she had thought. Then she met that Ponytoran-Scootaloo, was it?-and had been taken to a village. Rainbo-Koro. There, she had been introduced to their Turaga, Turaga Hurricane, and told of her apparent mission to defeat this "Marekuta" nutjob and bring order back to the island, and of her abilities, which she was intent on using for the first time since she arrived. She had also been told of other Toa, whom she was keen on meeting.
Not looking where she was walking, she almost tripped on a stone that didn't rise far from the ground. After gathering herself, she looked down at the stone and saw three words made out in glittering red cobblestones.
Friendship
Promise
Future
"Hmm, where have I heard those words before?" Rainbow chuckled to herself. Those three words were used very often in her talk with Turaga Hurricane. Those were the three values the Ponytoran held most dear in their lives. Those three virtues served as an example to every being on the island, Ponytoran and Turaga alike. As of today, they also applied to Toa. But Rainbow wasn't too interested in that. Instead, she was thinking about which of her powers would suit a race.
Turaga Hurricane said that I was supposed to have incredible speed. Rainbow thought as she stretched her arms. Why don't I put that to the test first? She closed her eyes and concentrated. Concentrated with all of the might she could muster. And then...she ran.
Her own speed caught her off-guard and she rocketed forward with no way of slowing down or stopping. the landscape blurred into a red and brown blur. In time, the blur became flecked with bits of green, indicating plants. Rainbow shouted and dug her legs into the ground, but that only left deep gouges in the land, and hurt beyond belief. The landscape soon became filled with a brilliant white.
Snow? I must be near that big mountain! Rainbow thought. The Ponytoran called it Mount Canter. It was a waypoint of sorts, for Smarty-Nui, the largest temple on the island, was at the exact center of Ponyville Nui, right next to Mount Canter. Rainbow thought that she wouldn't be able to stop herself, and would break through the mountain and fly right into the sea. Fortunately, Mount Canter stopped Rainbow for her, sending her sprawling backwards into the snow and knocking her mask off. There it lay in the sun, decorated with all the colors of the rainbow, and imprinted with a cloud and lightning bolt symbol. Rainbow picked it up and put it back on, after slowly getting up. She felt the strength that came with the mask flow back into her.
"I must have gone for miles!" Rainow exclaimed. She could no longer see the wide open spaces of Rainbo-Wahi, the desert area containing Rainbo-Koro, and could only see snow, and Mount Canter. "This must be...what did the Turaga call it again...Rari-Wahi?" That seemed about right to Rainbow, so she started walking in what she hoped was the way back to Rainbo-Koro. Instead, all it did was take her to more snow.
"Arrgh! This is getting me nowhere!" Rainbow shouted. Her voice echoed all around. Some snow slid off the mountainside and down a slope. Rainbow quickly looked at it, did a double take, and became confused straight away,
"Snow can't move that gracefully." Rainbow narrowed her eyes and tried to get a closer look at the snow pile. There seemed to be a figure like herself atop it, sliding down the slope.
"Another Toa?" Rainbow asked aloud. It had to be. The figure appeared to be taller than any Ponytoran, even from this distance.
"Couldn't hurt to go and say hi." Rainbow said to herself. Being careful to prepare this time, raced up the slope to meet this other Toa. All of the preparation in the world, and Rainbow still overshot, running smack-bang into a set of boulders, which shook and started to roll down the slope. Rainbow started running ahead of the boulders, but one of them hit her leg and she fell. She started sliding down the bank along with the boulders, shouting for someone to help.
MLP and Bionicle? I may have to read this.
YES. YES.
Even before reading I know this is gonna be epic.
hmm idk how i feel about this, i used to like bionicle but after it ended i kinda stop caring about it. not sure if i should read it or not...hmm meaby some other time i will search it and try it
The reason I fucking love the internet. This right here.
Upvote.
I'll fave it after a few more chapters. Keep writing.
Awesome sauce! The writing parallels the books. I love it!
488380 > my feelings exactly
I'm just here to say... WUT.
Bionicle ? This is what its crossed over with right?
That shit was awesome as a kid but... a MLP fanfic?
Not sure if gusta.
"Vegeta, what does the scouter say about its pun level?"
"It's over 9000!!!!"
But in all seriousness this is starting rather well, the only thing that irritates me a little is that it's almost word for word straight from the book. That makes the writing look lazy, even if it isn't. Other than that minor annoyance, this is shaping up pretty well. Will track.
Before I even read this, I must say, where the buck is Rarity? Is she not even in this story?
Look what you did Silver. You made Rarity cry. Why am I talking to myself?
This many comments already? I feel so loved.
Okay, lets address some points...
The only reason it's word-for-word from the books is because I have them open when I write to refer to the source material.
Don't worry, Silver, you'll get your Rarity in due course.
And for anyone wondering: Yes, I do intend to retell the ENTIRE Bionicle story with Ponies. A very arduous task, but hopefully worth it.
Hey, that's my crossover idea! http://www.fimfiction.net/story/21522/Destiny-Is-Magic
We shall simply have to see who's is better.
Pie-Koro?
Seriously?
Sorry, but the 'power increase when nice' seems to me a cheapening of the act; less genuine.
I was dry for ideas, you can't blame me!
...well, you can, because I wrote it.
And it...is...ON!
Heheh. Not bad for a start. Shall track. Also gonna check out ddestiny is magic while I"
m at it.
Bionicals? Never was into them, but hey. i thought you were doing the whole Easter Island thing. the natives call it Rapa Nue
this story called out to my inner Bionicle nerd.
So far so good.
