Alyska Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Here's a challenge:Describe the Bionicle storyline (or something else from Bionicle) in a way that... a) Is as specific and detailed as possible, andb) Also happens to describe something from a completely different work of fiction And then reveal what the other story/character/thing was. Sound confusing? Here's an example I came up with in another topic. "A group of brightly coloured beings live peacefully inside the head of a much larger being, doing their daily jobs to keep their host's body and mind working properly. But disaster strikes after some of these beings are ejected from from their home and are unable to perform their jobs. Their host begins to shut down, the world inside the brain starting to crumble away. It is a race against time to retrieve the shiny objects that can repair the host. One heroic being sacrifices his very existence to help save his world. But even after this crisis is prevented, our heroes face many more challenges ahead... " The answer? The more specific the description, and the weirder the comparison, the better! Have fun! (Apologies if this is not allowed or doesn't belong here, please deal with accordingly) 3 Quote 3DS Friend Code: 0018-0767-4231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldero Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 "A duo of comparatively short lifetime friends accidentally stumble across an all-important, eponymous golden MacGuffin after a significant societal event that polarised most of the inhabitants and left them unsure about a certain person. After some counselling and exposition from a wise old man with a staff and robes, the duo head out with other friends who occasionally help them out and tag along to follow a prophecy relating to the all-important MacGuffin. But when a mysterious dark force who lurks in the shadows steps back into the light and detects that this duo hold the MacGuffin, he sends numerous fearsome, tall guardians who overshadow even the greatest heroes and only exist to serve the dark force's intentions, things speed up as the duo must pick up their pace and fulfil their mission as soon as possible before the dark force becomes too powerful..." Okay, you probably all know it by now, it's the Lord of The Rings. Additionally, there is a scene where one of the film's few female characters meditates harmoniously in a tranquil place punctuated by waterfalls and recollects the current events of the story only to stumble across some crucial plot-point relating to the further story of the film. Galadriel's meditation in Rivendell and Gali's meditation in Kini-Nui, anyone? 2 Quote < -< =<o>= >- > Ha!

SPIRIT Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Six magical heroes travel a great distance to save the life of someone important. They travel down into the depths of a large facility guarded by all sorts of strange magical obstacles. They combat foes that can attack their minds as well as Death itself. Finally they reach their goal and retrieve a magical artefact so important that it can control the very fate of the world itself. They must then face an army of criminals and a madman to secure this artefact. While they are victorious, the artefact unfortunately slips through their fingers. What? The Toa Inika? No, no.

Specter Knight Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 An ordinary person who lives in a peaceful village inhabited by short people sets off on an epic adventure after his wise mentor tells him that the world is in danger. Along the way, he travels through strange environments, fends off ferocious creatures, and even gets lost in a cave at one point. Later, he finds out who he really is, and is transformed into a bigger, stronger version of himself in order to take down the evil that has been plaguing the island. With the power of light surrounding him, he descends into the villains lair, fights him in a similar manner to a sporting match, and ultimately defeats him, restoring peace to the world once and for all. Little does he know, that his adventure is only just beginning... Now, Haven't I heard that somewhere before...? 1 Quote (I'll do this eventually, I swear...)

Aanchir Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Two siblings rule a magical land and bestow great gifts upon its peaceful inhabitants. However, one sibling's works are loved and celebrated more than the other's. The underappreciated sibling becomes jealous and resentful and taps into a dangerous power that transforms them into a being of darkness. Realizing the danger that has been unleashed, the other sibling attacks, removing the threat for a very long time. Centuries later, the resentful sibling threatens to return and bring darkness back to the land. Six inexperienced magical heroes, each representing a different element, are brought together for a dangerous quest to discover the power inside themselves and restore harmony to the land. Their quest brings them through the untamed wilderness of the land and ultimately to the ruins of the place from which the two siblings once ruled over the land. Bionicle 2015?

Kopekemaster Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 You are washed up on the shore of a beach, with no memories. Turns out that you're supposed to save something.

Xboxtravis Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) A group wash up on a mysterious chain of islands. There they find out that there is a conspiracy going on, and they must stop it. They fight beasts (including polar "ash" bears), and thugs hired by an evil villain. One group even finds a submarine and some scuba gear. They discovered that the damage done to the islands was because of a violent event which an evil spirit caused a long time ago. Some of the hero's get transported to other places. There are a few hero's who die heroically, only to be revived later on. In the end, everybody discovers that the whole time they were just in purgatory (I mean, ummmm... Living inside a giant robot) Bionicle=Lost Edited November 17, 2015 by Xboxtravis 2 Quote All aboard the hype train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user-402520536 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 A hero arrives in a strange land, unsure of who he is and how he got here. He finds a settlement and is taken in by the people living there, and finds out there are more like him. He progresses through the story and meets more characters with similar powers and statuses (stati?), and masters control over his own element. A prophecy is foretold, and he must band together with his friends to defeat the ultimate evil - a primordial entity with control over a primal force of both the ancient and modern world. Along the way, the team will vanquish many monsters and will reach edification both physically and mentally, allowing them to do the impossible.
