Ancient Gardens - Pollen Plains
As the new team made their way through the Ancient Gardens, they quickly spotted 2 Rabbids taking turns head-butting a rubber ducky to one another, one of them missing every so often, but quickly picks it up and get the game back under way.
"My sensors tell me they're practicing for the Equestria Star Cup." Beep-0 explained.
"They should have plenty of time to do it then." Twilight told him.
After leaving the scene, the heroes soon encounter a giant sunflower with sunglasses, which was a Rabbid fused to a flowerpot back in the basement. Twilight waves to it while Beep-0 attempts to talk to it.
"Greetings, sweet golden perennial of the prairie! We are-" Beep-0 started to say, but he was cut off when the sunflower spit green goop at Rabbid Fluttershy!
"WHY did you do THAT?" Beep-0 shouted to the Sunflower.
"Hmpf! After that strange creature with the headset got here - those guys have been nothing but bad news!" The Sunflower stated.
"I assure you, THESE Rabbids are not like their colleagues!"
"He's right! I'm even starting to enjoy their company!" Twilight told the giant flower.
"Oh! Well, if you can stop him I'll happily reward you. He's zapping his brethren left and right - turns them real nasty." The Sunflower offered.
"I don't suppose you would come with us to help?" Beep-0 suggested.
"Sorry folks, but it's time THIS flower took things underground." The Sunflower said and burrowed into the ground.
"I wasn't sure if he could help us anyway, Beep-0" Twilight told him as she helped Rabbid Fluttershy clean the goop off of her.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right. Let's continue!"
The team made their way across a bridge and made it to the next battle field. As soon as they entered, a Ziggy charged at them full-speed! He dashed into Beep-0 and kept on running. Beep-0 was sent flying and he ended up landing on Rabbid Rarity's head. That's when Beep-0 got a new message.
"Dear Beep-0, if one is to prevail, one MUST practice! Please sharpen your movement skills so you can turn the tables on those rascally Rabbids! I've just uploaded a few suggestions to help you guide your team in the next battle! QUICK! Signed, Your Biggest Fan." Beep-0 read out loud to everyone.
Defeat All - 3 Ziggies
"You can deal damage while on the move by performing a DASH!" Beep-0 explained to everyone. "And I'm not talking about your friend Rainbow Dash, Twilight."
Twilight laughed a little and decided to give this dash thing a try. She charged at one of the Ziggies behind the covers and dealt some damage to him. She finished him off by blasting him, releasing the energy.
"If you thought that was something, try performing a Team Jump! Run up to an ally and they'll give you a boost to an area of your choice!" Beep-0 explained.
Rabbid Rarity ran up to Twilight and she sent her flying to another enemy cover. She blasted the 2nd Ziggy, but it didn't defeat him.
Rabbid Fluttershy did the same thing. She got a boost from Twilight, and she finished off the Ziggy, releasing the energy. However, she was exposed and the final Ziggy blasted her and moved to a different cover.
Rabbid Rarity moved to a nearby partial cover, and she gave Twilight a Team Jump, landing her right next to the Ziggy.
Twilight blasted him, but he wasn't defeated.
Rabbid Rarity attempted to blast the Ziggy, but couldn't due to the full cover.
Rabbid Fluttershy moved to get a Team Jump from Rabbid Rarity and she was sent to the other side of the enemy's cover. She defeated the Ziggy and ended the first battle.
The heroes cheered as they completed the battle.
"Wow! With these new moves, we'll be able to finish battles more quickly!" Twilight told her Rabbid friends.
"Bwa Bwah!" They both agreed.
"If you get creative, you can do both at the same time!" Beep-0 told them.
"How so?" Twilight asked.
"After you Dash an enemy, you can perform a Team Jump with a nearby ally!"
"Bwaaaa." Rabbid Rarity and Rabbid Fluttershy were amazed.
"We have got to try that!" Twilight declared.
As the group made their way out of the battlefield, they entered the next one.
Defeat All - 4 Ziggies
"It's time to pull together everything you've learned so far - Attack, Movement, Team Jump, Dash... Don't forget about cover! Beep-0 explained to the heroes.
Twilight dashed at a nearby Ziggy hiding behind a partial cover, and made her way to a full cover. She finished off the Ziggy by blasting him, releasing the energy.
Rabbid Fluttershy dashed at the Ziggy that was right next to the first one and covered herself on the other side of his partial cover. She blasted him and defeated him.
Rabbid Rarity got a Team Jump from Rabbid Fluttershy and she was sent to a nearby area that had 2 Ziggies. She blasted one of them, but it wasn't enough. The Ziggies dashed and blasted her, dealing her some damage, before moving to different covers.
One of them moved close to Rabbid Fluttershy, so she dashed him and blasted him, defeating him and released the energy.
Twilight Team Jumped Rabbid Fluttershy and was sent closer to Rabbid Rarity. The final Ziggy was in their sights.
Rabbid Rarity moved to dash him, and she let Twilight finish him off, ending the battle.
The heroes cheered as Rabbid Fluttershy and Rabbid Rarity were healed, and they were rewarded 400 bits.
The Sunflower reemerged from the ground and greeted the heroes.
"Twilight, the creature with the headset got away, but I suppose you DID clean up his mess, and being a plant of my word, it looks like I owe you a reward"
"Ahem! Our good friends Rabbid Fluttershy and Rabbid Rarity helped as well!" Beep-0 stated.
"Yeah, yeah - great." The Sunflower said and gave them their reward: 1 bit.
Rabbid Rarity wasn't impressed and threw the bit back at the Sunflower's face, as well as multiple rocks, and even Rabbid Fluttershy!
The Sunflower's sunglasses were spinning, and he took a moment to collect himself.
"Okay, okay! Here!" The Sunflower then gave them their REAL reward: a treasure chest that contained a new weapon!
"I'll hold onto this because I feel we don't need it at the moment." Beep-0 told the heroes.
"Good idea." Twilight said.
The group made their way across a bridge to some docks above the water. Down below they saw 2 Rabbids on a giant yellow hose.
"HEY, YOU! It's a stripe on a garden hose, not a border! Don't let your love be divided!" Beep-0 yelled to them.
"Yeah! Don't lose hope!" Twilight yelled to the Rabbids as well.
The group continued down the dock, and they found Scootaloo!
"Scootaloo!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Twilight!" Scootaloo shouted and ran up to hug her. "I'm so glad you're here. Yours is the first friendly face I've seen since Equestria turned into this... mess! Your timing couldn't be more perfect - I can't find Sweetie Belle!"
"All thanks to the changes caused by these odd pipes our Rabbid 'friends' brought with them into your world!" Beep-0 stated.
"You guys seem to know what you're doing... sort of. Could you help me find her? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaase?"
"Ok, but you're gonna see firsthand how big of a pain these pipes are!"
"Maybe, but they look so cool!"
"Oh, be quiet."
With that, the group began to enter the strange pipes, and moving around to different areas of the dock. They eventually found Sweetie Belle.
"Sweeite Belle! I'm so glad you're OK!" Scootaloo said a she hug her fellow Crusader.
"Oh, I'm fine! Who I'm worried about are the Princesses, my sister, and Apple Bloom!"
Twilight gasped as she remembered that everyone got sucked into the vortex, even the Princesses!
"Twilight, can you go back to your castle and make sure everything's alright?" Sweetie asked.
"Certainly not! We NEED to find that SupaMerge Rabbid before-" Beep-0 was cut off as he received another message. "Another message! 'Congratulations on getting this far! A wise man once said, 'If I have 3 hours to chop a tree, I will spend 2 of them sharpening my axe.' I urge you now to return to the Castle of Friendship and do just that - prepare yourselves for the fight to come.' Well that's good. But HOW? 'You may be wondering 'how?'. In the time it took you to read this email, I have updated your operating system. It now includes a new GPS warp mechanism I call, Sploing!"
"Sploing? What kind of name is that?" Scootaloo asked.
Beep-0 continued reading the message. "Hold on there's more. 'The name is a work in progress. Anyhow, simply activate it and you and your friends will return to the Castle of Friendship immediately. Signed, Your Biggest Fan.' Well that's amazing if true. I suppose I should give it a-" He was cut off as He, Twilight, Rabbid Rarity, and Rabbid Fluttershy vanished in a wave of pixels.
Sweeite Belle and Scootaloo were amazed by this, and waved goodbye to their friends.
