My Little Zoids: Friendship is Cybernetic

Twilight started to panic a little as she tossed the books off their shelves in the Library.

“No no no no no no no!” Twilight said as she looked through yet another book that had nothing in it about how to stop Nightmare Moon. She also looked for a way to help her Zoid get powered back up so that it could fight that Murasame Liger again.

“Spike, can you he-” She started as she turned to her Dragon. But she smiled and sighed at the sight of him sleeping. “Nevermind.” She said quietly as she closed another book. She then ran to the other shelf and began to search through it.

“Oh where is it? I know it was here.” She said to herself as she looked through the books.

“Twilight. Ya’ here?” A familiar voice asked. Twilight turned her head and saw the girls walk into the library. “Wat’cha lookin’ for sugar cube?” Applejack asked her. Twilight was about to answer when Rainbow flew into the library and grabbed her by the coat collar.

“How did you know about Nightmare Moon huh? Are you a spy? Did you sabotage my Liger so she could-”

“Now there sugar cube if that was the case she wouldn’t have tried to charge her in her own Zoid as well you know that." Applejack said as she grabbed Dash’s tail. She then backed up and stared at the unicorn.

“I’m sorry. But how did you know the Nightmare Moon would return?” Rainbow asked. Twilight just shrugged her shoulders.

“When Celestia and Luna locked her up that was one of her retorts that she would come back to finish the job and shroud the land in darkness. She was a genocidal monster back then too so not much has changed sadly.” Twilight explained.

“Well is there anything that can beat her?”Rainbow asked.

“There is. They’re called the Elements Of Harmony. But I can’t seem to find my book about them.” Twilight replied.

“The Elements Of Harmony: A Reference Guide.” She heard Pinkie Pie say. They all turned towards her slowly with some of the best poker faces you will ever see.

“How did you-” Twilight started

“Duh! It’s right above your head silly!” Pinkie said with a smile on her face as she bounced around.

“Oh.” Twilight said as she opened the book. “The Elements Of Harmony. Six magical artifacts which have the power of gods. They are the elements of Honesty, Generosity, Laughter, Kindness, and Loyalty. However, the sixth is a mystery. It is rumored that they are located in-” She started. She looked through it again to make sure she read it right before she fainted. Rainbow walked over and poked her several times before she picked up the book.

“Aw buck.” Rainbow said.

“Well where are they?” Rarity asked her but somehow she knew the answer before Rainbow even said it.

“The Everfree Forest.” She said making the girls gasp.

“T-T-The Everfree Forest? B-But it’s dangerous!” Fluttershy stuttered.

“I agree. Dangerous hazards, ferocious plants and animals, nothing anypony wants to run into!” Rarity added.

“Well, we’d better fix up our Zoids and get a move on. But first-” Applejack started before she stuck her finger in her mouth and pulled it out as it dripped with saliva. She then stuck it in Twilight’s ear and made her eyes widen as she screamed and jumped up.

“Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew!” Twilight said as she wiped at her ear. When she finished wiping the saliva off she turned back towards them.

“So anypony care to help with my Zoid?” Twilight asked them.

“Sorry Twi’. But we’ve gotta work on our own Zoids. You’re gonna have to work on it yourself.” Rainbow replied as she headed out the door. Spike woke up at that moment though and noticed just how banged up the Koenig Wolf really was.

“I’ll grab the blowtorch.” He said as he got out of his bed. Many hours later and after many repairs, the girls had their Zoids fully repaired and headed towards the entrance of the forest.

“Well, are ya’ll ready?” Applejack asked them.

“Uh-huh.”

“Yeppers!”

“Um… yes.”

“I was born ready.”

“Affirmative.” Twilight replied finishing the check.

“Alright. Now I guess… we get a scootin’ in.” Applejack said. The group marched through the forest without meeting much resistance. Unbeknownst to them they were being watched by the very maniac they were trying to stop.

“So…. Twi’. We’re good on the whole Wet Willy thing aren’t we?” Applejack asked as she stared at her video screen.

“Yeah… but don’t think I’ll let it slide by.” Twilight replied in an angry voice.

“Sorry ‘bout doin’ it. But there wasn’t any other way to wake ya’ up.” Applejack said.

“How about a glass of cold water?” She asked making Applejack blush. Then coming onto the video screen was Rainbow Dash.

“Sorry about interrupting you, but how much further is the old stone pile?” Rainbow asked as she stared at Twilight. Twilight huffed as she and the others came onto the screen.

“Yes Twilight. How much further is the castle?” Rarity asked her.

“A few miles and we’ll be there. Just keep weapons on just in case we run into any wild Zoids.” Twilight replied as her wolf sniffed the air. The moment she said this however a earthquake rumbled and knocked Twilight over a cliff causing her Zoid to hang on by her claws.

“HANG ON!” Applejack screamed as her D-Bison charged towards the two. Then quickly Twilight made her wolf grab onto the bison’s leg with it’s claws.

“Applejack, help me up!” Twilight yelled.

“Twilight, ya’ gotta let go!” Applejack yelled back.

“WHAT?!” Twilight screamed.

“Just trust me!” Applejack told her.

“How can I?” Twilight asked.

“I promise Twi’! Nothin’s gonna happen to ya’.” She replied. It took a minute, but Twilight released the wolf’s grip on the ledge and fell down the cliff. She screamed for a minute but then Dash and Fluttershy quickly made their Zoids leap into the air and catch Twilight.

“See, I told ya’ nothin’ would happen!” Applejack said as her D-Bison leaped down the cliffside.

“Alright. Now let’s continue.” Twilight said as her wolf began to charge through the forest.

“HEY! WAIT FOR US!” Pinkie screamed as she moved her Zoid full throttle forward. The group continued through but soon came across a giant river to which there was no way for their Zoids to get through without them getting short circuited.

“Since when did the Everfree have a river?” Rarity asked the group.

“Ah don’t know. But we need to get across.” Applejack replied.

“Maybe your D-Bison can knock down a tree for a bridge. Find one large enough to cross.” Twilight ordered.

“On it!” She yelled as her bison moved to a tree that looked thick enough and long enough to cross. As her bison went behind the tree, she heard a growling like a wild tiger.

“What the-” She started as she turned her Zoid around. But then she was tackled by one of the most dangerous feline-like Zoids ever known. It was a Gun Tiger. It had a dark blue base and black outlining. The weapons on the Zoid were a High Frequency Fang, 4 High Frequency Claws, and an AZ 105mm Static Magnum. The equipment on the tiger were 2 Ion Boosters, 2 Multi Antennas, 2 Dual Sensor Ears, and a Rear Security Sensor. “Aw buck me.” Applejack said. She turned her Zoid around and faced the Gun Tiger but was soon blasted by the magnum on the Zoid.

“Heh and she said you ponies were going to be a real fight.” The pilot of the tiger said with a chuckle.

“Wait, Nightmare Moon sent you?” Twilight asked.

“She did. Now how about we continue with the fight here?” The pilot asked.

“We can.” Dash replied as her Liger Zero roared. The two Zoids then started to circle each other and they proceeded to charge one another. Rainbow’s Liger struck first knocking the Magnum off of the Gun Tiger. The Zoid then in turn slashed at her with a High Frequency Claw, landing a scratch on the window of the cockpit.

“HEY! I JUST REPAIRED HIM!” Rainbow yelled. “THAT’S IT! LIGER ZERO, STRIKE LASER CLAW!” She yelled. Her Zoid then charged the Gun Tiger and sliced its head from it’s body. Rainbow soon leapt out of her Zoid and flew over to the rival Zoid. She forced the pilot window open and yanked the driver out of it.

“Alright buddy! Now! Tell me-” She started. But then she dropped him when she saw him shaking violently and foaming rapidly at the mouth.

“TWILIGHT!” Rainbow yelled. Twilight then got out of her Zoid and ran over to the scene.

“W-What happened?” Twilight asked her.

“I-I don’t know! I just yanked him out of his Zoid and he started to shake and foam at the mouth!” Rainbow yelled at her. Twilight placed the convulsing stallion on the ground but by then it was too late. The stallion suddenly just stopped moving and his eyes were staring into nothing but the night sky.

“D-Did I-” Dash started to ask the unicorn whose horn was glowing.

“No. He had a Cyanide Pill. I’m guessing if he failed Nightmare Moon, he’d want to make sure we didn’t get to him.” Twilight replied as she closed the stallion’s eyes.

“Well, we’d better get moving. Applejack, I’ll help you get that tree down.” Rainbow said as she climbed back into her Zoid. Applejack nodded as she tried to turn her Zoid back on but found it could barely make it start up.

“What in tarnation? AH CAN’T START HER UP!!” Applejack screamed as she slammed her fists into the console.

“Your Zoid is low on energy. It won’t start up. Here, allow me.” Rarity said as she moved her Zoid next to Applejack’s. Then a power line came out of Rarity’s Liger and into AJ’s D-Bison.

“Ya’d do this Rarity. Ah mean give up some of your Zoid’s energy for mine?” She asked.

“Of course. We’ll need everypony if we want to save Equestria.” Rarity replied as her Zoid started to transfer energy. A few moments passed and soon Applejack’s D-Bison was powered up and soon knocked over the tree and the others crossed.

First I fall off a cliff, then we get ambushed. What else can Nightmare Moon prepare for us?
