//------------------------------// // The Good 'ol Rebublicans // Story: My Little Zi: Zoids are Magic // by superfunnelc //------------------------------// The past few days have been good for the team. When we rescued Emperor Rudolph from the ponies, the entire camp seemed to get an aura of happiness. However, we soon had to take down the camp and move to a different location, because after the rescue we pulled off, there had been more pony patrols and these patrols were coming dangerously close to the camp, it was then that Colonel Schubaltz decided that it would be best the move the camp far away from the city. "You know Rudolph, you should be with Rosso and Viola." I said as I piloted my Red Horn with Rudolph is the back seat. "I know, it's just that I love Zoids." Rudolph said sighing. "I know how you feel. Did I ever tell you the time I prevented a windmill from falling down, using only a Godos?" "No, what happened?" "Well, it was about three years ago. I was working on a windmill that had stalled and wasn't turning, so there I was about to climb up the ladder to get to the top of the windmill, when all of a sudden the windmill starts leaning. Now at this point I have yet to even get on ladder, so I start running towards one of the Godos that we use for maintenance. I start it up, and pilot it towards the windmill, I then get on the side of the windmill that was leaning, and I start pushing it. I was tough but I managed it keep the windmill steady long enough for some of the other repairmen to get in the other Godos and help me. Three days after that the city was razed by rouge Imperial forces." I sighed. "I am sorry." Rudolph said sullenly. "Don't be Rudolph, you couldn't have done anything." I said as the Dibison in front of me stopped, "Hey, what's the hold up?" I radio the Dibison. "Maya just picked up an air contact." Thomas Schubaltz radioed back. "Really? Let me check. Booting up 3-D radar." I said engaging the radar on my Zoid which made the black horns on the back of the cockpit raise up, "I see it too. Looks like a Pteras." "A Pteras? That means Rebublicans." Rudolph said hopefully. "Unknown aircraft, this is Lieutenant Thomas Schubaltz of the Guardian Force, identify yourself." Thomas radios the Pteras. "Thomas, is that you?" A girl radios back. "F-Fiona! Is that you?" Thomas radios. "Roger, this is Fiona Elisi Linette, of the Guardian Force." "Fiona, it's good to hear your voice again." "Same here Thomas, if you follow my Pteras I will bring you to the Republican camp." "Fiona, this is Colonel Schubaltz, thank you." The Colonel radios Fiona. "It's my pleasure Colonel." ----0---- "Hey, Strong Charger! Y'all better get those apples to the storehouse." Braeburn hollered at a earth pony pulling a wagon full of apples. "What do y'all think I'm doing?' Strong yells back. "I'm just checking." Braeburn says as a small foal runs into to screaming. "Monsters!" The foal yells, "Monsters are near the town!" "What do you mean monsters?" Braeburn asks the foal. "Big scary monsters! There was flying too!" "Strong! Come with me!" Braeburn yells. "Braeburn, do you honestly believe this foal?" Strong asks as she walks over to Braeburn. "Little Apple Seed has never lied before. There is no reason for her to start now." ----0---- "There it is Rudolph, the Republican camp." I said as our convoy neared a large mass of tents, with several Command Wolfs, Gun Snipers, Pteras, three Gojulas, five Shield Ligers, a lighting Saix, a Gustav and what looked like a heavily Shield Liger. "Hey, that's the Blade Liger." Rudolph says. "That Van Flyheight's Zoid isn't it?" I asked. "Yes, it is." Rudolph said as our convoy enters the camp to the cheering of Republican soldiers. We soon see a white Hammer Head, parked in the center of the camp. "Look, it's the presidential Hammer Head!" "The president is here?" "It looks like it." Rudolph said as the convoy comes to a halt. "Power down." I powered down my Red Horn and opened the canopy "I present to you, his majesty Emperor Rudolph Zeppelin the Third!" I shouted, as Rudolph climbs out of the Red Horn. "Your highness, Captain Herman at your service a soldier comes and bows to Rudolph. "Captain Herman, it's good to say you again." Rudolph shakes Herman's hand. "Ah, Emperor Rudolph. It's good to see you." An older woman approaches Rudolph. "Madame President, It's good to see you as well." Rudolph says as Fiona lands her Pteras, dismounts, and approaches Rudolph with another girl, a teenager, a man that I recognized as a good friend of mine, and a Organoid. "Van, Fiona, Moonbeam, Irvine, Zeke, it's good to see you all again." "Good seeing you too Rudolph. Who is this." The teenager asked. "That's, Danny. One of the youngest, and most powerful mercenaries on Planet Zi. His team is one of the best." Irvine says as he walks towards me. "Irvine, it's good to see you again." I said shaking his hand, as my team dismounts their Zoids and walks towards us. "So your the famous Van Flyheight."I said to the teenager. "Yep, I'm Van Flyheight of the Guardian Force, and this is Zeke." Van said petting the Organoid. "Um, hello? You guys forgot about me!" The girl says rather annoyed. "Oh yeah. That's Moonbean." Van said. "Hey Danny, I bet you couldn't beat Van in a Zoid battle." Alex said. "I could totally take Van on." I smirked. "Is that a challenge?" Van smiled. "Yes it is." I said walking towards my Zoid, while Van walked towards his. "This is going to be a good one." Irvine said as I mounted my Zoid, and brought it over to the Blade Liger. "Alright, follow me." Van said as he piloted is Blade Liger away from the camp. "Alright, lets get this battle started." I said as my Red Horn roared. "Bring it on!" Van said as the Blade Liger roared. "I will take the first move!" I opened up with my anti-Zoid cannons which the Blade Liger doges effortlessly. "Is that all?" Van taunted as he fired two shots from the Blade Liger's cannon, which hit the heavily armored part of my Zoids hull. "Bring it on Flyheight!" ----0---- "Come on Strong, it shouldn't be much farther." Braeburn said as he and Strong Charger walked though the desert. "You know, it possible that what Apple Seed saw was just in her imagination." Strong Charger said as a massive red robot crashes into some rocks next to them, "Or not." Strong and Braeburn take cover. "What in tarnation are those things?" Braeburn whispers. "Eat lead Flyheight!" One of the robots shouted as it began to spit fire from it back, at the other robot. "Is that the best you go?!" The second robot says as it charges the first robot, and bites one of its legs, immobilizing it. "I win." "Dang it. I guess you win Flyheight. Now let's head back to camp." The first robot said as the two robots get up and walk away. "Hey Strong I think we should follow those things." Braeburn said as he begins to follow the robots with Strong Charger in tow. ----0---- "Hey Alex, I owe you 20 dollars." I shouted as I dismounted my Red Horn, next to the Blade Liger. "Haha, I knew you couldn't beat Flyheight." Alex laughs. "Excuse me, but Rudolph requests your presences." President Camford's assistant tells Van and I. We then follow her to the Hammer Head in the center of camp. As we enter we are greeted by Rudolph, Captain Herman, Colonel Schubaltz, and President Crawford. "Ah, Van, Danny. Take a seat please." President Crawford says. As we take our seats Colonel Schubaltz turns on a projector. "About one week ago, we all arrived in this strange land. So far the natives have been less then friendly, as shown by our recent rescue of his majesty. However, one question remains. How did we get here?" The Colonel says. "Excuse me Colonel, I believe that I might be able to answer that." I said standing up, "One week ago, my team and I were looking though some ancient Zoidian ruins for an Orgaoid, which would increase our contract fee. However, we failed to find one, in my frustration I struck a console that was in the ruins, it was then that the ground began to give way. When I came to, my team and I were in this world. I think that if the Zoidans had a way to get here, then they must have a way to get back to planet Zi." "That's a sound hypothesis Danny, but where could we find Zoidian tech in this strange world?" Rudolph says. As I am about to answer a soldier enters the room. "Madame President, we have captured two of the natives, who tried to infiltrate the base." The soldier said saluting. "Take us to them." President Camford tells the solider, who leads us to two tied up ponies. "Well, it looks the like tables have turned." Rudolph says. "Who are you two?" President Camford asks. "I'll never talk to you creatures!" One of the, yells. "Take them to the brig!" Captain Herman tells the solders, who take the two ponies to the Hammer Head, and place them in prison cells
