This is the characters reacting
This is the video they are watching
The sceen shows some one setting up a camera. "Are... Are you completely sure about this." A robotic voice asks some one as the camera come on.
"Do people in this universe sound like robots or somthing?" Yang asks to no one in particular. Weiss was about to retort, saying it wasn't from another universe until she relized their was no proof that it still wasn't.
The camera lens open to show the camera looking down on a field with somthing strange in the middle of it. The scene cuts to show a red robot looking man atop a play structure holding what looked like some kind of scroll as a black robot moves past the camera carrying a fire work.
"Are those, toys?" Ruby asks.
"This video is just some one playing with toys. Its a prank." Weiss quickly concludes.
"Let's keep watching." Yang sudgests. "Maybe their is more to it."
"Yes. Absolutly." Another robotic voice, although slightly diffrent, replies.
"Well im starting to have second thoughts." The first one says as the camera cuts to a closer shot of the red figure.
'What are they doing.' Everyone in the room simotaniusly thought.
"Look, Youtube is full of idiots that get themselves hurt and famous." The black one retorts as it cuts to show him placing down the firework.
Weiss decides to look up youtube on her scroll only to find nothing. She sighs as she turns off her scroll.
"Nothing?" Blake asks.
"Okay, running theory. These toys, as Ruby has stated, have this youtube exclusive only to them and the creator of this only knows what it is since he created it." Weiss sudgests.
"How about we just watch to find out." Ruby says. Weiss reluctantly sighs in agreement.
"Think of the thousands of views. Millions. Maybe even billions." the black one says as the camera once again switchs to show the red one.
"Fine, if your so sure." The red one says as he overlooks the field the black one is in.
"Yeah, Tahu. You need a little more faith in me somtimes." The Black one replys as the camera cuts to focus on him.
The team looks at each other bewildered.
"Well, Tahus kinda a strange name." Ruby says
"We noticed." Yang simply replys.
"Maybe it was the name given to him in whatever toy line he was sold in." Blake sudgests. At this, Weiss searchs up Tahu, only to come up empty.
The black one lights the lighter and then the camera cuts to show an explosion behind a house as a siren starts to blare.
"That was rather quick for the fire department to notice." Blake notes.
The shot cuts to what looks like the inside of the house, focusing on the black robots head. "That could not have gone more perfect." He exlcaims. The shot cuts to a zoom out showing he is in pieces. "What are we at to now?" he asks. The camera shifts to show Tahu looking at a large laptop.
"Two." Tahu simply replys.
"Million?"
"This youtube is probably a large website in this universe." Yang guesses. "One where videos are uploaded for others to view. Like the CCTs public video page."
"No, just two." Tahu replies.
"Im gonna need more fireworks."
"What are they trying to do?" Weiss asks questioninly as to why the black robot was so content to blow himself up for a video.
"I think they are trying to make a movie, to become popular or somthing." Blake theorizes.
The shot cuts to a white robot sitting on a coffee table, with a large remote to his left, music playing from the tv, implying he was watching somthing. "Seriously Tahu? Don't make me come up there." He says to Tahu who is off camera.
"And here we have the parent of the group." Yang states.
Tahu falls into view, landing on the coffee table.
"Sigh." he simply says.
"You've been listening to Onua again, haven't you?" The white robot asks.
"I guess Onua is the black robot." Ruby guesses.
"Why are names in these dimensions so strange?" Yang asks to no one in particular. Meanwhile, Weiss finds it harder and harder to deny the posability of this being made in another universe.
"Only a little." Tahu says as he is seen walking up beside the white robot.
"Look, I like the enthusiasum. And I know how much of a bummer it is that Bionicle is over." The white robot replies.
Weiss looks up Bionicle on her scroll.
"Anything?" Blake asks.
"It just keeps autocorrecting to chronicle." Weiss replies.
"Maybe this Bionicle is a chronicle with... somthing... that starts with bi..." Ruby theorizes.
"Im not so sure." Blake responds. She knows books, and Rubys theory just wasn't hitting the right bells. Not much of anything can stand for just bi.
"But I don't think you're gonna revive Bionicle back to the good old days, by splatering Onua all over the windows." He continues.
"They must be depressed that their story has ended." Ruby solemly says.
"And they are just trying to cheer themselves up." Yang finishes.
"Yeah, Im starting to see that now." Tahu replies. "So, um, Kopaka, could you give me an idea?"
"Your asking me?" Kopaka asks.
"Maybe the two don't get along very much." Blake guesses from Kopakas line.
"Or he just dosn't ask Kopaka for anything." Weiss bluntly states.
"Or that." Blake says.
"Yah." Tahu simply states.
"Well..." Kopaka starts as the camera shifts to show he is watching somthing called Sherlock.
"Not gonna look it up?" Blake asks Weiss, refering to Sherlock.
"Not much of a point. I think I might start beliving this is from an alternate reality." Weiss responds.
"I knew you would come around Weiss!" Ruby exclaims.
"However, if that turns out to be false, I'm not even going to be upset."
"Still suspicious?" Yang asks.
"Of coarse I am. You can never be to sure." Weiss says.
"Well, how about a movie?" Kopaka sudgests.
"Huh?" Tahu asks.
"There have been tons of reboots for old franchises lately, reboot Bionicle as a movie." Kopaka continues. "Maybe start at 2001s story."
"Maybe we might get to see what their story is." Ruby sudgests.
"Thats genius, thanks!" Tahu says before running off.
"No problem." Kopaka simply replies.
Even if they don't talk much, they still help each other. Ruby smiles as she thinks. She is a very big fan of teamwork.
The camera still focuses on Kopaka for awhile, until he says "I hate Steven Moffat so much."
"I guess some one from their universe." Yang says.
"Or it is a charecter in the movie he is watching." Weiss sudgests.
The shot changes to the side of a diffrent table. Onua can be heard screaming "Pohatu what are you doing?"
"Look, I know what Im doing, alright." A new voice from off camera says.
"That doesn't go there!" Onua continues yelling.
"You look fine." Pohatu simply replys.
"Seriously, thats not even a leg." Onua states.
"You look better than before." Pohatu assures him. As Tahu hops onto the table.
"Seems this Pohatu is in charge of putting these robots back together." Yang states.
"It sounds like he's not very good at it though." Weiss responds.
"Onua you look more fabulous then ever." Pohatu continues to assure him.
"Im going to kill you." Onua simply states.
"Mean. Hes just trying to help." Ruby says.
"Um." Tahu simply says as the shot switches to Tahu looking at a ball of Onuas parts being held in the air by his leg, with a brown robot ,everyone assumed was Pohatu, standing beside him. "Hey Pohatu."
"Yeah?" he responds.
"Could you just go?"
"Yeah, im out." Pohatu say and wizzes off screen before Tahu can even finish.
"Well the people of Po-koro know how to sculpt, but they sure arn't good plastic surgeons." Onua states.
"They must not carve people that much, cause I don't know how Pohatu could end up with that!" Weiss refers to the ball known as Onua.
"Po-koro... is that a place in their story?" Ruby asks.
"Likely." Blake states "It is a strange name for a place though."
"Get it. We're plastic." Onua continues
"Yah I get it." Tahu quickly replies. "But listen, Nathen has a bunch of video equipment and crap downstairs, right?"
"Their we go. Nathen sounds like a much more sensible name." Weiss says.
"Then these characters names must just be the same as their actual names for their toyline." Yang states.
"I thought we already established that." Blake says
"Oh right." Yang remembers.
"Right." Onua replies.
"So, we can use that to make a Bionicle feature film reboot." Tahu says. The camera then, dramatically zooms towards Onua.
"Ill get my fireworks." he says. Music begins playing as a light from the basement turns on.
"Whats going on with this music?" Weiss asks.
"Oh I know. Montage time!" Ruby exclaims.
The same camera from earlier, is set up to show Onua in front of a green screen. The scene cuts to a shot looking at the carpet before piles of Bionicle themed books are piled onto the spot. The scene then cuts to show the books neatly stacked with Onua on top.
"At least they're doing research for their movie." Blake comments.
The shot then cuts back to the green screen as Onua is seen moving multiple items across the set including a pink can of somthing, a Captain America action figure, and a large purple thing. The shot then cuts to show Onua, Pohatu, Kopaka, a green robot, a blue robot and Tahu, although diffrent looking and with the golden mask on.
"Uh what?" Ruby asks.
"I think that might be a diffrent version of Tahu." Weiss says "He looks more like Onua and Kopaka so he must be in sort of the same group as him, where as the Tahu we've seen is from a diffrent group and he just likes to hang out with that version of Onua. Besides, they need someone to work the camera so they might as well get the outlier Tahu to do it."
Tahu then comes into frame and knocks down his 2001 counterpart.
"Or maybe he just got that Tahu to do the filming." Yang says
The shot then switchs to Onua infront of a near closed laptop. The camera then shows he is watching my little pony. Tahu then comes in and switchs the show to the editor page. It shows Tahu infront of a forest.
"This must be the editing stage." Weiss states.
Onua then hits the export button and then the screen turns black.
"Tahu! wake up! It just finished rendering." Onua yells. The sceen then opens showing Tahu getting up.
"It did?" he exclaims. "Im so excited."
"It took us weeks of hard work but we finally did it!" Onua exclaims "Blood, sweat, and plastic."
"Its only 3:45 dude." Tahu says. A window of the video is draged into view.
"Alright, here we go." Onua says as he clicks the mouse button. The screen goes black.
Team RWBY lean in to see Onuas 'masterpiece' and what the Bionicle storyline is.
The shot then opens up to some sand and Tahu begins to narrate "In the begining of the time before, there was Mata Nui." A large stone drop into the shot.
"Is this all this movie is gonna be?" Weiss asks, thinking Tahu will just naratte the story of the Bionicle while Tahu and Onua do whateber with the stones.
"It is probably just them telling us the beginning before they move onto the actual story." Ruby sudgests.
"Mata Nui had a bunch of matoran he loved so he watched them." Tahu narrates. Nothing happens on screen for a few second before they hear Tagu silently call out Onua before a bunch of equally sized rocks to the one before were droped on screen.
'We're in for a ride' Yang smiles.
"But Mata Nui had a brother who didn't like it, so he sent Mata nui into a sleep."
Weiss cringes at the terrible grammer.
Then Onua pops on screen ,wearing a black version of Tahus mask. "You can't defeat me for I am nothing." he says before one of the rocks explodes. "Onua did you write this?" Can silently be heard.
Team RWBY cringes at how bad the movie is so far. But it gets worse.
A youtube video titled Bionicle Mask of Light full movie is shown doing the title card until it is paused and print appears under the title reading, Bionicle, the reboot. The next scene shows a canister washed up ashore on a beach with a dismembered Tahu next to it.
"Uh im in pieces." He says as Crawling plays, drownding out some of the dialoge. Comence shitty stop motion as he puts himself back together. "Now I am not." He says upon recompletion.
"I... I don't even know." Is all Blake can say.
A finger with a blue mask is shown in what looked like a volcanic area.
"Uh... wha?" Ruby asked, perplexed about the finger.
"Oh Tahu, and other toa, you must find all the six masks and defeat the Makuta." It says.
"Don't worry, turaga Vakama. I will get all the masks." Tahu declears. The scene switchs to Tahu in a forest. "Come on Lewa, lets go get those masks." He says, walking off screen and Lewa, effected by the green screen steps in.
"Your sure ill look good on the green screen?" he asks.
"You look fine off camera." Onua states.
"How?" Ruby simply asks.
"When dealing with somthing green, then they should switch to blue screens." Weiss states, somwhat answering Rubys question.
The location changes to somplace dark.
"Ill stop you Makuta." Tahu states. Then a small robot wearing the same mask Onua was wearing earlier is shown.
"Hahaha." he laughs "You underestimate me, Tahu and other toa. I am a Matoran and you cannot hurt a matoran."
"You underestiamte, how much i care." Tahu says before tackleing the matoran. "Oh dude that hurt. you said you wouldn't tackle me." someone from off camera says. "Sorry." Tahu simply replies. Then the camera is knocked down showing Kopakas feet. Onua comes into frame looking into the camera.
"I think we broke the camera, come on please wor-" he was cut off.
"How was that not cut out?" Weiss asks.
"Maybe they're just incompatent." Yang sudgests.
"Well, we already knew that." Weiss replys.
The scene changes to some place in the middle of the night, with a brown matoran and a blue matoran staring at each other.
"Maku, now that it is all over, I can finally say I love you." the brown one says.
"The feeling is mutual Huki, but sadly, our love cannot be." Maku says
"What is it baby?" Huki asks.
"Our realationship isn't real because Greg F said it isn't cannon in the bionicle storyline." Maku replies.
"Huh?" Yang asks not getting the joke.
"This Greg, must have been someone who worked on the original Bionicle." Blake answers for Yang.
"I guess that makes sense." Yang thanks.
"Are you freaking serious." Huki angerly replies. The credits then role with a strange map bouncing around the screen.
"Well... at least they tried." Ruby says trying to stay optimistic.
"Well thats going to win every academy award this year." Onua says to himself as he watchs the video.
"I don't think any of us sees how he can see that as a good movie." Weiss says for everyone in the room.
"Right Tahu?" he asks, only to find Tahu not there. "Tahu?" he asks again. Meanwhile in some other part of the house, Kopa walks along, only to find Tahu sitting alone in a corner.
"I guess he thinks it sucks." Yang states.
"At least he has the comon sense for that." Weiss replies.
"Oh, hey Tahu." he greets.
"Hey." Tahu replies back.
"Hows the movie coming along?" Kopaka asks.
"We finished it. It... kinda sucked." Tahu replies, looking away.
Team RWBY begin to feel bad for Tahu as they see how disapointed he is.
"I'm sorry to hear that. At least you tried." Kopaka says. A moment of silence goes by. "Well, Ill see you around." He turns to walk away.
"Kopaka! wait." Tahu calls out "Do you think Bionicle is dead?"
"I guess this is just Tahu and Onuas way of coopomg with their depresion. Makeing movies." Blake says.
"Dead?"
"Yah."
"Well." Kopaka walks over and sits beside Tahu. "In my opinion I don't think it is."
"Really?" Tahu asks.
"Sure. Its fandom is still kicking and the fandom is what counts. We have lots of really cool fan projects. Lots of really cool podcasts. Lots of really cool artists. Sure is down, but other sites like BZpower and BS01 aren't. Sure the sets have stopped, but we can make our own anyway. Sure Greg hasen't been updating the serials, buts its okay. Its not the end of the world and he'll get to it when he does."
"There is that same Greg person." Ruby mentions.
"Does any one know what a fandom and a podcast is?" Weiss asks
"A fandom is another name for the fans. Don't know what a podcast is though." Yang replies.
"Look at Star Trek, Docter Who, Firefly. They all lived/are living because of the fans."
"Great more stuff we don't understand." Yang groans.
"So Bionicle isn't dead because of you Tahu. Your keeping the light alive."
"Really?" Tahu ask
"Yah."
"So im saving Bionicle right now?"
"Absolutly."
Tahu holds out his fist. "Thanks Kopaka."
"Anytime." Kopaka holds up his own to meet it.
"That was very uplifting." Blake states.
"Yeah, its good to know Tahu has some friends looking out for him." Ruby says, thinking of her team.
"Wow! Tahu! Get down here quick!" Onua shouts as he is rapidly clicking on the mouse. "Look at all the tones of views we're getting. We did it! We actually saved Bionicle!" With that the screen turns black and the music stops, signifiying its end.
"Well, what did we all think?" Ruby asks "I liked Kopakas speech."
"It was quite entertaining at the very least." Weiss admits.
"I would still like to more of this Bionicle and its original story." Blake says.
"I kinda like it." is all Yang had to say.
"Should we try 'The Squeakuel?" Ruby asks
"Sure!" Yang says.
(Hope you enjoyed, note that this is my first somthing reacts to somthing fic. Also RB 2 will not be out for some time cause of how long it will take to write. It took me two weeks just to write this, and I have another ongoing fic to write but I plan on putting it on hiatus (again) soon though.)
