//------------------------------// // Sherbet Desert 4: Square One // Story: My Little Pony + Rabbids: Equestria Battle // by SharkBowser58 //------------------------------// After going through the small gorge once again, the heroes continued down the path with Spike carrying the frozen Rabbid Twilight following their lead. "So the rest of our friends are still missing huh?" Spike asked. "Yeah, but we'll find them soon. I know it." Twilight answered with certainty. "Anyway, this is the path we took to get to you, so all we need to do is backtrack it to where we found Apple Bloom." "Granted we'd have to pass through an area that's covered in uh... briefs." Beep-0 said in disgust. "And a small battlefield where we had to fight some enemy Rabbids, but don't worry! We finished that battle earlier." "Really?" "Yep! All we hafta do is walk on through it and we'll be home free--" Applejack started, but was cut off again by an energy barrier as soon as the heroes entered the same battlefield from 2-2. "Shoulda known it wouldn't be that easy." She said in disappointment as she got up. "Wait what?!" Twilight shouted in confusion as she looked at the barrier, then saw that the flags by the entrance, or rather, the exit, of the battlefield were black again. "BWA-BWAAH!!!" The heroes quickly turned and saw some enemies on the battlefield, who looked very angry at them, and readied their weapons. "I think those are the same Rabbids that we fought 2 chapters ago." Beep-0 explained to the group, breaking the 4th wall in the process. "They seem very sore at us for kicking their butts the last time." "What do we do?" Fluttershy nervously asked. "Fight the same way we always do." Beep-0 answered, then saw a new safe area on the other end of the battlefield. "All we need to do is escort Spike over to that safe area, while dealing with those enemies." "I thought you said this was a small battlefield." Spike told Beep-0. "I exaggerated!" "Bwa-Bwah." Rabbid Rarity said as she took her place on the battlefield. "She's right, it doesn't matter. Let's just get through this." The other heroes and Spike nodded as their took their positions. Escort Spike - 2 Ziggies, 2 Supporters Rabbid Rarity got a Team Jump from Fluttershy and landed next to a full cover set on a smaller section of the high area, where a Ziggy was taking cover on a different side. She blasted the enemy Rabbid. Fluttershy activated her Flee Feet, giving herself and the heroes, as well as Spike, in range of her an increased area of movement. Spike moved to a full cover where a Ziggy was taking cover on one of its different sides. Twilight dashed the Ziggy, then took cover on the side of the full cover that was opposite of Spike's, where she quickly blasted the Ziggy, defeating him and releasing the energy. Fluttershy got a Team Jump from Twilight and landed next to a full cover that was a few feet from her and Spike's. She sent a Sentry towards a Supporter that was hiding behind a partial cover, and it exploded when it got in range of him, which also triggered a Bounce Effect that sent him flying out of the battlefield before respawning a moment later. Twilight activated her Hero Sight. The Ziggy that was near Rabbid Rarity blasted Twilight, then started to run, but was hit by her Hero Sight which triggered a Bounce Effect that sent him flying out of the battlefield, defeating him. The other Supporter quickly healed his friend, then they both threw Grenaducks towards Twilight and Spike, damaging them both, then the Supporter moved to a different side of the partial cover he was hiding at previously, where he used his Heal technique to restore himself back to full health. Spike moved to a different side of a full cover set that one of the Supporters was hiding behind. Twilight dashed the Supporter that was closest to Spike, then got a Team Jump from Fluttershy, stomping the other Supporter before landing near a partial cover. She then blasted the first Supporter. Rabbid Rarity entered a pipe that lead back to larger area of the high area, where she dashed the Supporter near Spike before stopping by a full cover in the corner. She sent a Sentry towards the Supporter near Twilight, which exploded when it got in range of him. Fluttershy dashed the Supporter by Spike, defeating him, then moved to a full cover right by Twilight. She blasted the other Supporter, defeating him as well. A set of Rabbid ears burst from the ground near the other end of the battlefield, signaling that a new enemy was going to appear. Spike moved to an area that was close to Twilight before stopping. Rabbid Rarity entered a pipe that lead back down to the ground and hid behind a full cover. Twilight entered the pipe, too, and got a Team Jump from Rabbid Rarity before landing near a different full cover. Fluttershy entered the pipe, and took cover behind a partial cover. A Smasher burst out of the ground, and started towards the heroes before stopping to rest. Another set of Rabbid ears burst from the ground right next to Rabbid Rarity, signaling that another enemy was going to appear. Spike entered the pipe and stopped right next to Fluttershy. Rabbid Rarity got a Team Jump from Twilight and landed beside a partial cover that was next to the hole in the battlefield. Fluttershy entered a different pipe that circled around the side of the battlefield and stopped beside the same full cover where Twilight was at. She blasted the Smasher, getting his attention as he charged in her direction before stopping to rest. Twilight moved to a different full cover that was by the hole where she blasted the Smasher, getting his attention as he charged towards her before stopping. Rabbid Rarity sent a Sentry towards the Smasher, which exploded when it got in range of him, and triggered a Push Effect that sent him rolling straight into a nearby full cover, defeating him. A Ziggy burst out of the ground and blasted Spike, then dashed him as he entered the pipe leading to the high area, and took cover on the side of it. He activated his Villain Sight. A set of Rabbid ears burst from the ground where Twilight was at previously. Spike entered the same pipe that Fluttershy entered earlier, and stopped a couple of feet away from Rabbid Rarity. Rabbid Rarity used her Heal technique to heal all the heroes and Spike. She then moved to a different partial cover that was on the right side of the hole. Fluttershy moved to a different side of the partial cover set where Rabbid Rarity was at previously. She activated her Hero Sight. Twilight moved to a different side of the full cover set that she was at. A Hopper burst from the ground and blasted Spike before activated his Super Shield, however, he got hit by Fluttershy's Hero Sight as he tried to move, deactivating it. He took cover beside the pipe. The Ziggy moved to a different full cover in the corner of his high area. A set of Rabbid ears burst from the ground near the safe area. Spike moved to a spot that was near Fluttershy and was at the edge of the hole. Fluttershy dashed the Hopper and hid beside a partial cover. She sent a Sentry towards the Hopper, which exploded and triggered a Bounce Effect that sent him flying, defeating him. Twilight moved to a partial cover that was near Rabbid Rarity. She then activated her Hero Sight. Rabbid Rarity moved to a full cover that wasn't too far from her. A Smasher burst from the ground and started to charge towards the heroes, but gets hit by Twilight's Hero Sight, getting his attention as he began to charge in her direction before stopping to rest. The Ziggy enters a pipe that lead to the small area of the high area, and took cover behind a full cover. Rabbid Rarity dashed the Smasher, then moved to the opposite side of the partial cover where Twilight was at. She sent a Sentry towards the Smasher, which exploded and got his attention as he charged towards her before stopping. Twilight dashed the Smasher and took cover beside a full cover that the enemy Rabbid was right next to. She blasted the Smasher, which triggered a Bounce Effect that sent him flying out of the battlefield, defeating him and releasing the energy. Fluttershy moved to a partial cover that was near Spike then activated her Flee Feet, granting herself, Spike, and Twilight an increased area of movement. Spike quickly moved to a spot that was right next to Twilight. The Ziggy hopped down from the high area and took cover beside a partial cover, where he activated his Villain Sight. A set of Rabbid ears burst from the ground several feet away from Twilight. Spike moved to a full cover set that was near the safe area. Twilight moved to a partial cover set that was near Spike. Rabbid Rarity moved to the full cover where Twilight was at previously. Fluttershy got a Team Jump from Rabbid Rarity and landed beside a different side of the partial cover set that Twilight was by. A Smasher burst from the ground and started to charge towards the heroes before stopping to rest. The Ziggy moved to a full cover set that was by the upper area of the hole, and blasted Rabbid Rarity. Spike moved to the safe zone, ending the battle. The heroes cheered as they were healed and rewarded 900 bits and 90 Power Orbs. "Alright, Apple Bloom is waiting for us at the top of this hill, so we don't need to worry about any more battles right now." Beep-0 explained to the heroes. "Right, and before we sent you 2 back home, we'll figure out a way to free Rabbid Twilight." Twilight added. "That's good." Spike replied with his arms shaking a little bit. "Let's free her soon because she's starting to get a little heavy." "Bwa bwa bwa..." Somebody said, muffled. "Rabbids! Language!" Beep-0 shouted to the Rabbid heroes, offended at what he just heard. "Bwa-bwah." The Rabbid heroes said in unison as they shook their heads "no", claiming that they didn't say anything. "Uh... If they didn't say anything, then who said that?" Fluttershy said with worry as she looked around to see where the voice came from. "Bwa bwa..." The voice said again, but still muffled. "I think I know where it's coming from." Twilight smugly said as she eyed the frozen Rabbid Twilight. The others looked at Rabbid Twilight, and they saw her eyes quickly darting left and right. "If I had to guess, I believe our frozen friend here didn't take too kindly of what ya said about her gettin' heavy, Spike." Applejack told the dragon, laughing to herself a little bit. "That's the first time I've actually heard her say anything at all." Spike claimed. "Well, this proves that she's fine inside that ice, but we should still get her out." Beep-0 explained to the heroes. "Let's get back up that hill as soon as ASAP!" The heroes and Spike cheered in agreement. "Quick question, though." Spike asked as the team started to go up the hill. "Was that a Cragadile I saw back there, wrapped in undies?" "Uh... nope!" Beep-0 replied as he and the others quickly zoomed up the hill, purposely avoiding the question. Spike simply shrugged with one his arms while still carrying Rabbid Twilight over his head, and started running to catch up to the others.
