Off the Grid The Final Season

Everypony was racing out of their room's, as Shift, and Stryker looked at all of them...running in front of them with confusion on both their faces. "What's going on?" Both Shift, and Stryker asked, as one of the pony soldier's came to a halt, causing them to stop.

"Red alert, Regalias is broadcasting a massive transmission, follow me, I'll take you to the communication's array" The soldier told them, as he brought both of them to the communication's array with Scarlett Twinkle, and Pixel already there waiting for the two, as the array dish continued to let out sonar ping sound's, trying to find Regalias's transmission.

"How long is this gonna' take?" A pony soldier asked, as the pony behind the array turned to look at the soldier.

"Uh.....I can't seem to match the frequency" The pony told him, as Shift shoved him aside getting to the array's control's.

"Oooohh move over, just use a public channel" Shift told him, as the transmission activated, revealing Regalias.

"Good evening, ponies of The Grid, I stand before you tonight to warn you of the growing danger to our society. Terrorist's have been waging a war against decent ponies like you, and me, and it is time to put a stop to it once, and for all. A vicious rebellion grows in the shadow's of the outskirt's of The Grid, and it is led by these highly four armed, dangerous terrorst's....." Regalias told them, showing pictures of a masked Jamie, Pixel, Stryker, and Shift, while Scarlett Twinkle curled her giant scissor claw's with hatred.

"You dare, call THEM terrorist's after what all of us did for everpony during the war, your gonna pay for that....puny....little.....stallion." She snarled coldy, with extreme venom in her voice.

"....if you see any of these ponies, notify authorities at once, this message is being broadcasted far, and wide beyond the reaches of The Grid. To anyone viewing, know that you'll be rewarded handsomely for their capture, and for any Grid citizen that can provide information on their whereabout's. I promise you enough Grid credit's to bathe in for the rest of your life, and to those of you hiding these fugitives, know that there will be serious tolerance for your action's, and you will be shown no mercy, you've been war....." Reglias told them, before the transmission garbled, as Megatron appeared on the screen.

"Stryker, Regalias can play his diplomatic games, but I care little for such nonsense." He told him, before shifting the picture to show four captured pony civilian's from The Grid, as Stryker gasped.

"No...." He said worriedly, as the camera went back to Megatron, who laughed.

"Hahahahaha, like what you see? 24 hour's, you have 24 hour's to show yourself at the sandy abandoned city, where we first fought. If you refuse to show yourself...these ponies will pay for your cowardice, see you soon" Megatron told him, as the transmission ended. Stryker slammed his fist's down onto the array table with frustration.

"RRRGGGHHH....THOSE INNOCENT PONIES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS; THIS IS BETWEEN ME, AND HIM.....I'M GOING, I NEED TO END THIS ONCE, AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as one of the pony soldier's spoke.

"Hold up, I know your mad, but this is obviously a trap" He warned.

"I can't ignore this, those ponies lives are at stake." Stryker told him, as another pony spoke up.

"Stryker, the rebellion need's you, please what if something we're to happen to you" He agreed.

"I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind, I'm leaving tonight" Stryker told them, as a third soldier groaned.

"Stryker come on" He sighed.

"Stryker don't do this" A fourth scoffed, as they all watched him walk out the door.

"Don't worry guy's, Stryker can take care of himself, have faith in him, he'll fight alone if it mean's keeping you safe. You have to understand, he's been through a lot" Pixel told them, explaining his story with Shift's help. Stryker was walking toward's the door, and spotted a masked Jamie waiting for him.

"If your here to stop me, give it up, nothing's going to change my mind" Stryker told her.

"Follow me, I'll take you to the armory" She told him, as she led him to the place which had a bunch of gun's, and other tool's.

"Hmmm...pretty impressive collection you've got here" Stryker told Jamie who pointed at the weapon's.

"Most of these are thing's we stole from Regalias, and his soldier's, but we've developed some weapon's of our own" She told him.

"I need something that pack's a punch" Stryker told her, as she handed him a very big machine gun.

"Try this one for size" She replied, as he held the big gun.

"It's not bad, but it's not my style" Stryker told her, as Shift spoke up from behind after telling his part of the story to the soldier's.

"Definetly not your style, thought you might be in here" Shift told him.

"You here to change my mind?' Stryker asked, as Shift scoffed.

"Pffft, as if....leave your new gear to me Sheriff, I'll wip up something fierce" He told him, as Stryker smiled.

"I'm counting on you Shift, you got 2 hour's" Stryker told him, as Shift clapped his hand's.

"Time for me to work my magic" He said overjoyed. After a while Jamie was walking down a few areas, until she came across Scarlett Twinkle, and Pixel.

"You got a moment?" Pixel asked softly, as Jamie turned to them with curiosity.

"What is it?" She asked.

"We're worried about Stryker, worried that he's walking into a trap" She answered, as Jamie nodded.

"I know....that's why we'll do what we always do, and improvise" She told the two of them.

*****
Shift had finished all of the new armor, and weapon's that he put on Stryker, and smiled. "Ok....how does that feel?" Shift asked, as Stryker moved around in the new armor.

"Heavy, but solid" He replied, as Shift smiled.

"I added some additonal armor to protect you from the heavier hit's you'll recieve. I've modified your impact bracer, and attached a variable action cannon, it's a versatile weapon, and it's multiple loadout option's should give you a tactical advantage." Shift told him, as Stryker retracted his new cannon, and smiled.

"This'll work" He grinned, as Shift spoke again, pointing to some equipment, and weaponry on the table.

"This is a Pulse rifle, you'll find that it's rate of fire is slower than your fusion cannon, but the increased power output, and accuracy will more than make up for it, last but not least to make up for the extra weight, I developed a propulsion unit for your back. You won't be able to fly per se, but it'll give you the extra speed boost you'll need in this fight" Shift explained, as he helped attach the new gear to him

"Perfect...." Stryker smiled, before feeling the new gear, as he turned to Shift. "....Whaddya say we give our new toy's a spin." Stryker smiled, as Shift nodded in response.
