DragonForce Guitar hero

Some of you may or may not be aware, but a while back I won a competition held by Nightline to win a a Guitar hero III controller signed by DragonForce. All I had to do was write a story in the style of DragonForces lyrics explaining why I should get it.

Heres the video Sam and Frederic announcing my story as the winner.


And heres the story

Once there was a young maiden who was entrapped by an evil foe. It was a nasty foe which had wasted away the lives of many. This foes name was boredom.

In order to defeat boredom the young maiden enlisted the help of her friend the Ninja. The Ninja suggested that in order to defeat this foe, that young maiden should go on an epic quest and battle many in order to attain something known as “Guitar Hero III”. The Ninja agreed to accompany the young maiden on the quest and together on the back of a dragon they left on the epic journey to find the mythical unicorn, who was the guardian of “Guitar Hero III”.

Fuelled by a magical potion, they flew on their mighty dragon for 500 days until they came to the great gate. At the gate stood a man, his long hair flowing gloriously in the wind.

“You have come to see the unicorn, but before you do you must answer me this. Once long ago, there was a great ruler of this land, he too was entrapped by the evil foe boredom, but he defeated it. The “Guitar Hero III” you seek bares his mark. So tell me what the name of this great leader was?”

The young maiden immediately knew the answer

“It was not just one man” she replied, “but a group of six men who came to be known as DragonForce.”

“That is correct” replied the man with the glorious hair, “you may now pass to see the unicorn.”

Before the young maiden could blink (but not the ninja, ninjas don’t blink. Ever.) the man with the glorious hair had disappeared and a unicorn had replaced him.

“Many also seek what you want” said the mythical talking unicorn, “so why should you receive this mighty gift over others?”

“Oh great mythical talking unicorn” began the young maiden, “long have I fought the foe boredom, and battle after battle have I lost to him. Perhaps though, if I were to wield this mighty weapon, in which the spirit of the great group DragonForce resides, perhaps then I could defeat this evil foe.”

The mythical talking unicorn looked unimpressed, so the maiden continued.

“I am of but humble means, oh great mythical talking unicorn, to attain such a tool against the enemy is far out of my reach unless gifted to me by such a noble creature as yourself.”

Apparently the mythical talking unicorn was not above flattery, as his expression changed.

“Alright then young maiden. Your battles have been numerous and your quest here long and epic. I shall reward your efforts”

And with that, the magical “Guitar Hero III” in which the spirit of the great group DragonForce resided appeared infront of the young maiden.
Her quest complete, the young maiden returned home on the back of a dragon with her friend the Ninja to battle the foe of boredom with her new weapon.
