My Little Zoids: Friendship is Cybernetic

As Rainbow and Twilight disembarked from their respective Zoids Rarity walked back in with some work tools in tow.

“Now darlings who needs to have their Zoid worked on first hmm?” Rarity asked. Rainbow pointed at Twilight’s Command Wolf which earned a pouting sound from Rarity. “A pity that you have to give up the poor thing. It looks like it was a truly tough fighter.” She said to Twilight. Twilight merely nodded as touched her old Zoid for what was probably the last time.

“Hey Twilight! Check this out!” Spike yelled from the other side of the garage. Twilight turned her head and saw why he called her over. She saw a Shield Liger who had a snow white base and a purple outline. The Shield Liger was armed with two Laser Sabers, four Strike Claws, an Anti-Zoid 3-Barrel Shock Cannon, two Pop-Out Type Missile Pod, an AMD Double-Barreled Beam Cannon, and an Anti-Zoid 30mm Double-Barreled Beam Gun. The Liger Zero’s equipment was a single E-Shield Generator.

“Whose Shield Liger is this?” Twilight asked as she observed the Zoid. Rarity looked offended at the question.

“MY DEAR… What was your name again? Forgive me I’m bad with first time names.” Rarity said.

“Twilight Sparkle.”

“Thank you. MY DEAR TWILIGHT SPARKLE! I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS MY OWN SHIELD LIGER! I KNOW THAT I MAY NOT SEEM THE TYPE TO… PARTICIPATE IN THOSE BARBARIC TOURNAMENTS BUT A MARE HAS A REPUTATION TO UPHOLD!” Rarity shouted at Twilight.

“Jeez. Sorry I asked.” Twilight said to her.

“It’s a nice Zoid Rarity.” Spike said as he observed the Zoid’s turtle waxed leg.

“Why thank you...I’m afraid I haven’t caught your name either.” Rarity said as she blushed.

“It’s fine. I’m Spike. Twilight’s friend and assistant.” He said back with a smile.

“Well thank you Spike for admiring my Zoid’s beauty. Do you have a Zoid of your own?” Rarity asked him.

“No. But I’ve been dying to get one.” Spike replied with a smile.

“Well keep dying Spike because it’ll be a long while before I get you a Zoid.” Twilight said to him.

“Come on Twilight. Lay off of him. A Dragon can dream can’t he?” Rainbow asked her.

“Yes he can but I think that dream won’t be coming true for a long while.” Twilight replied.

Meanwhile on the outskirts of the town four Zabre Fang zoids were amassing just on the outskirts of it. Their pilots, vicious cheating ponies, were becoming more and more excited as the time to attack came closer and closer.

“Are you ready boys?!” The group leader asked.

“Of course!”

“Never been more excited!”

“Let’s do this!”

Then the four Zoids and their pilots bolted towards Ponyville as they cackled. But as they reached the entrance of Ponyville. They stopped at the Zoids in front of the town’s entrance. They saw an orange D-Bison, a light yellow Gun Sniper, and a pink Berserk Fury.

“Sorry to interrupt ya’lls visit, but I’m afraid ah’m gonna have to ask ya’ll to leave.” The D-Bison's rider said to them.

“Are you sure Applejack? I mean we haven’t even thrown them a real party yet.” The pilot of the Berserk Fury asked the D-Bison. The Gun Sniper tried to negotiate for peace however.

“P-please if y-you l-leave now w-we won’t h-hurt you.” She said as calmly as she could. The four Zabre Fang pilots made their Zoids look at each other before letting out a small laugh.

“You? Hurt us? You couldn’t hurt a tree much less one of our z-WHAT THE BUCK!” The Zabre on the far left shouted as he barely dodged a blast from the Gun Sniper.

“T-that was a w-warning shot. Now p-please leave o-or we’ll have to m-make you leave.” The pilot threatened.

“Alright Fluttershy!” The Berserk Fury’s pilot screamed happily.

“Why you….GET THEM!” The Zabers leader roared. The Zabre Fangs did as he ordered and bolted towards the three Zoids.

“Fluttershy, get somewhere that you’ll get a clear shot! Pinkie, make sure none of those Zabers get to Fluttershy as she finds the spot!” Applejack ordered.

“What are you going to do Applejack?” Pinkie asked.

“I’ll turn these punks into scrap parts!” Applejack replied as her Zoid bellowed and began to charge.

“Right! Come on Fluttershy!” Pinkie yelled as her and Fluttershy’s Zoid ran towards a cliff. As they ran, Applejack and her D-Bison charged towards a Zabre and managed to clip it with one of the Bison’s horns.

“AHH!” The pilot screamed. The Zoid flew through the air until it slammed into a boulder cracking it.

“DAMN! MY ZOID’S BATTLE SYSTEM IS FROZEN!” The pilot screamed angrily. Applejack smirked as she turned her Zoid around to charge the pilot. Just as she was about to reach him however she was hit by a Zabre Zoid from her side. The hit disabled her Zoid and left her useless.

“Not so tough now huh farm mare?” The pilot of the Zoid who hit her asked arrogantly. Pinkie saw her friend get hit by the surprise Zoid and stopped in her tracks.

“HEY THAT WASN'T VERY NICE!” She yelled. The three Zoids that were following her and Fluttershy stopped in their tracks.

“‘Not nice?’ What are you four?” The one in the middle asked.

“Fluttershy, head for your firing spot! I’ll hold these meanies off!” Pinkie yelled to her friend as her Zoid roared in anger.

“Alright.” Fluttershy said as she ran to her spot. When she was out of sight, Pinkie paid her attention to the three Zabres.

“Now, wanna dance?” Pinkie asked the three in an angry voice.

“Yeah. I’ll lead.” The Zaber leader replied. He then charged her but Pinkie swiped her opponent’s Zoid with her Zoid’s tail sending him flying backwards skidding across the ground. But it wasn't enough for it to be disabled. Meanwhile, Fluttershy had made it to her shooting spot. She turned her Zoid around and activated the sniper rifle in its tail.

“Alright. I only have five shots left. I need to make them count.” Fluttershy said as she aimed. She carefully aimed the rifle tail and saw Pinkie about to be pounced on by a Zaber.

“Now!” Fluttershy screamed as she pulled the trigger. The tail fired and the bullet managed to hit the Zaber in its side disabling it. Then a video screen was pulled up and on it was Pinkie Pie.

“Nice shot ‘Dead Eye’ Fluttershy!” Pinkie screamed happily.

“Thank you Pinkie. I’ll contact Rarity and have her get here quickly.” Fluttershy said back.

“Do that. And….HURRY!” Pinkie screamed. She yelled as a Zaber Zoid leaped on hers and disabled it with it’s teeth. Fluttershy ran off and tried to contact Rarity to tell her about the situation.

“I have to say Rares you really made some improvements to the shop the last time I was here.” Rainbow said as she and Twilight walked around. They just passed several wrecked Zoids, sadly among them was Twilight's old Command Wolf from earlier.

“Thank you darling I have been refurbishing the Armory for quite a while.” Rarity said but then lowered her voice. “I truly do mean what I said earlier to that Twilight mare though that was an impressive Command Wolf she owned. Hopefully she’ll find the one I picked out just as fitting.”

“And what that new Zoid might be?” Twilight asked. Rarity then walked to her a part of the armory and a shine in Twilight’s eyes became brighter when she saw what the Zoid was. It was a Konig Wolf Zoid. It had a white frame and a black outlining and its weapons were the Electron Bite Fangs, Electron Strike Fangs, and four Double Barreled Multi-Dischargers. The equipment on the Zoid was Headgear which allowed her to use on the Zoid Heat Vision, Night Vision, a Camera, and Dual Seven Kilometer Long Range Targeting Scopes, two Ion Boosters and a Cooling Fan. “Wow… this is an amazing Zoid. I thought they never made any other like this?” Twilight said. She turned back towards Rarity who was messing around with some of her tools. “You did get this legally right?” Twilight asked her. Once more Rarity was just messing around with some of her tools. Just as it looked like a scene was about to start Rarity’s Shield Liger reported an incoming message from Gun Sniper 24180.

“THAT’S FLUTTERSHY!” Rarity gasped as she ran towards it. She got in and activated the Zoid’s message board and saw that Fluttershy appeared to be running.

“RARITY WE’VE GOT- DON’T KNOW  HOW MAN- EADING TOWARDS PONYVI- BACK UP NOW!” Was all Rarity got before the screen went black. She looked at the others with a grim look on her face. Rainbow flew up to Rarity’s pilot seat and activated her Zoid’s controls.

“Rainbow, what are you doing?” Rarity asked.

“Getting you ready. We've got a friend to save.” Rainbow replied as she flew into her Liger Zero’s pilot seat and activated it. Twilight was about to get in hers when she remembered that the Konig Wolf is only a one pony Zoid.

“Just go Twilight. I’ll be here.” Spike said with a little smile. Twilight smiled back and got into her new Zoid’s pilot seat. As soon as she turned the Zoid on, it released a series of growls signaling it was ready to fight. The three then ran out of the armory and towards the entrance of Ponyville.

“Well...better see what I can do around here.” Spike said as he headed to a workbench with a Zoid leg on it.

“I hope we’re not too late!” Rarity said as she moved her Zoid.

“Knowing Fluttershy, I think she’ll be alright!” Rainbow said back.

“Do you girls know why she sent that message?” Twilight asked.

“No idea! But we’re gonna find out soon!” Rainbow replied. As the trio rushed towards the outskirts Ponyville they saw why Fluttershy sent out the message. Standing at the entrance of the town were the five Zabre Fang Zoids armed to the teeth. The leader that Applejack hit earlier was up and about once more. He walked forward with a bit of a strut with each step.

“Heh if you’re the back up that yellow wuss from earlier called for then this is really pathetic.” He said as he kicked a nearby Zoid to them. Rainbow saw that it was Fluttershy’s Gun Sniper and her rage started to build. She turned towards the leader and was about to charge him when Twilight appeared on her screen.

“Not yet Rainbow we don’t want to show off the Liger Zero just yet to these knuckleheads.” Twilight said to her.

“Alright. You two start off.” Rainbow said to them. Then Rarity in her Shield Liger charged at the pack of Zabres and luckily as they fired, she raised her shield. But with every attack, the shield grew weaker.

“These blows are draining the shield’s energy quickly. I need to conserve it if I want to last in this fight.” Rarity said to herself. Then as she took a great risk, she shut off her shields. But luckily with a shot of her Beam Cannon, she took out two of the five Zoids.

“Yes!” Rarity said happily. The remaining three Zoids rushed her but were stopped by Twilight’s Konig Wolf.

“Not this time boys!” Twilight yelled as she leaped forward to attack them. She hit the one on the right with enough force to not just disable the weapons but disable the machine altogether. She turned to fight the others when the leader and his remaining ally attacked Twilight in a surprise pounce and knocked her Zoid out of the fight. Rarity was about to run and help her when the leader blasted her Zoid with a gun hidden on his Zoid’s leg.

“My turn.” Rainbow said with a smirk on her face. The Liger Zero then bolted forward and as the Zabers fired at her, they were shocked to see the swiftness of the Zoid.

“She’s too fast! I can’t hit her!” The Zaber pilot said.

“Well keep trying! She’s got no weapons on her so she can’t hit us!” The leader said.

“He’s right. How can I hit him without no weapons?” Rainbow asked herself. Then as she tried to figure it out, she saw something that might work.

“Wanna try it Liger?” She asked her Zoid. The Liger growled telling her yes. The Liger then bolted towards the Zaber pilot and as she did, the Liger’s front legs began to glow brightly.

“What the-” The pilot started.

“NOW! STRIKE LASER CLAW!” Rainbow yelled to her Zoid. The Liger then leaped into the air and with it’s right paw, the Liger slashed the leg of the Zaber off it’s joint.

“YOU NAG! I’LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR-” He started but he never finished as his cockpit was slashed away from his Zoid by a yellow blade.

“What the?” Rainbow exclaimed before she saw a red Liger Zoid that looked remarkably like a Red Blade Liger with two giant swords on it’s side. The Liger looked back at her before leaping away into the distance. Was that? Nah it couldn’t have been her. Rainbow thought to herself. She then joined her two friends in getting Fluttershy and her other friends.
