4-gotten: Igliak Attack
Qwark happily took his place behind the podium and under the cryo-sleep frozen Z'Grute. "House lights!" he called out with a smile, clapping his hands.
Nefarious leapt atop his little pod as Lawrence turned the light and camera on. "Well hello, Mister President!" he shouted through a megaphone. "So kind of you to accept my invitation!"
Twilight and Alister exchanged glances as Nefarious and Qwark paused. "So...are they waiting for us to do something?"
"I think this is the part where Ratchet was supposed to say something, except he's not here," Qwark whispered.
"Rather inconsiderate of him," Nefarious grumbled, keeping his mouth away from the microphone.
"Really, Dr. Nefarious?" Alister groused. "I know you're compensating for how small your new station is, but you really have to pause to let your opponents taunt you?"
"Oh, you're hysterical!" Nefarious countered, flashing Alister a thumbs up outside the view of the camera. "Let's see you crack jokes from inside the digestive tract...of a Z'Grute!" He spun. "LAWRENCE!"
"Oh goody," Lawrence replied in his usual monotone, holding up a gun like device. "I get to reanimate something." Pulling the trigger, the device released a wave at the Z'Grute, causing it to slowly thaw from Cryo Stasis as Nefarious cackled maniacally.
"So you're going to unleash the Z'Grute on us," Twilight spoke up. "I assume you have some way to keep this Light Eating monstrosity from going after all the energy inside your robotics? Your pod is giving off a great deal of light, after all."
"But of course, Twilight Sparkle!" Nefarious countered, reaching into the pod and pulling out a strange device. "I studied the beast's nervous system for months to perfect a device that could interact with both its brain and a standard RC remote! With this attached to the Z'Grute's head, it will be completely under my control!"
"That's amazing!" Twilight gasped out eagerly. "Creating something like that must have been incredibly difficult!"
"Yes, I know, I'm a genius!" Nefarious bragged as the Z'Grute flexed.
"Shouldn't you have attached it before letting it out of Cryo Sleep?" Alister asked as the Z'Grute turned towards Nefarious' pod.
Nefarious blinked, turning from the Z'Grute to the device in his hand. "...I knew I forgot something," he admitted as the Z'Grute devoured the light from the pod, causing it to crash to the ground.
"It was on your 'to-do' list, sir," Lawrence reminded him, just before he shut down.
"Lawrence?" Nefarious asked worriedly. "Lawrence?" He shook his butler gently.
"His circuitry isn't as well braced as yours," Twilight spoke up as she rushed to his side. "He's not a combat model, after all. He'll reboot in a couple of hours when auto-repair finishes. I can evac him if you tell me where."
"There's an old ship docked just behind Igliak's moon," Nefarious replied immediately.
With that, Twilight teleported Lawrence clear. "Now, we should-"
The Z'Grute roared at the group before turning to begin devouring Light from the spotlights surrounding the square.
"...probably deal with that?" Azimuth offered, drawing his spear.
"Not a bad idea," Twilight admitted as the Z'Grute chucked the now dead lights aside before lunging into the city.
"Weapons everyone!" Qwark called out, quickly pulling his business suit off and revealing his hero suit underneath, drawing his weapon.
"Well, good luck dealing with the monstrosity I unleashed upon this unsuspecting metropolis-" Nefarious began.
"The cameras are off, Doctor," Qwark reminded him. "If you want any credit for this, you'll need to get ahead of the news feed before we take the beast down. Going to be hard making your own way through."
"Then I'll just tag along with you!" Nefarious proclaimed angrily. "I'll use the three of you to get where I need to go, then leap into the fray and show the whole universe my greatness!"
"You'll need one of these," Twilight offered, passing the robotic doctor one of her modified Swingshots.
"Ooh! Nice!" Nefarious purred happily.
"Did...did Qwark just manipulate Nefarious into helping us take down the Z'Grute?" Alister whispered to Twilight.
"Not questioning it anymore," Twilight whispered back. Louder, she asked, "Doctor, do you have any melee weapons?"
"But of course!" Nefarious proclaimed proudly. "Behold!" He pulled his left arm back, his hand flipping into the arm to reveal a chainsaw blade, amplified by a laser aura that extended a good foot beyond the blade itself.
"That's incredible!" Qwark complimented. "But how come you never used it against us?"
"It's new!" Nefarious explained. "Made it just for this fight!"
"Very nice!" Twilight praised as she examined it minutely.
"So I'm the only straight man now," Alister murmured.
"I ship 'em too," Twilight teased in his ear.
"I didn't mean like that!" Azimuth snapped back.
The Z'Grute roared as it collapsed a building.
"...we get very easily distracted, don't we?" Qwark murmured softly.
"We should work on that," Nefarious agreed as the four of them took off in pursuit.
"This is going to be a loooong trip," Alister murmured, blasting a few bots in their path. "Hopefully, there will be a few weapon vendors along the way."
"Should be!" Twilight confirmed. "Wonder what new ones are out now?"
"We'll find out!" Qwark proclaimed happily.

When I read the chapter title I immediately thought of this... which turned-out to be completely unrelated.
Twilight is such a dork and Quark fits perfectly with her.

Twilight is Best Dork, and Qwark is, uh... Best Qwark?
And so it begins... The almost-but-not-quite reformation of Dr. Nefarious. Lets see if Twilight can make it stick this time.

You made a G1 Transformers reference. Have an upvote.
7099816
Was one of them here?
*Scratch*
Why do I have an uneasy feeling that this is going to be even sillier than Tatsurou's standard fare? Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
I was almost hoping for a chainsaw crossbow attachment, but an energy chainsaw will work too!
This is one of the best Enemy Mine moments I've ever witnessed
i freaken cant help but laugh at how nefarfios just pimp slapped the overall boss of All for one that was the best end moment
Someone said it last chapter, so I'm saying it this one. Quark and Nefarious is totally a Perry and Doofenshmirtz relationship.
Someone get the evil doctor a Boom Stick!!!!!
Very good chapter, I especially like Twilight geeking out over laser chain saw and evacuating Lawrence. The fact Nefarious was so worried about him makes me smile, there's definitely hope for redeeming him.
I wonder how long it has been since twilight has built a new entirely original weapon
7100203 Nefarious evil incorpirated
7100515 Nice.
7100448
To answer that, you have to ask the question, "When did Twilight last sneeze?"!
briliantly ridiculous. your really one of the best out there Tatsurou
Another enjoyable chapter. Good job.
7099940 Well, to be fair, Nefarious does actually have a total bro moment with Quark At the end of the game when he literally Bitch slaps a corporeal energy being to prevent it from possessing Quark.
I finished all-for-one a few weeks ago, can't wait to see how you pull of the ending for it with twilight involved!
So are Qwark and Nefareous Kismeises?
7145883 I can see that, dude! I'm not shipping it, but I'm riding the waves its making to destroy itself!
Are we certain this is Nefarious? I'm pretty sure we're looking at Deadpool in one of his costumes.
7211688 it can't be. Deadpool would have told us it was him during an aside talk to us.
7608589 Well not immediately
7099741
That sounds a buddy cop duo title: Dork and Qwark
Blasters run hot as buildings explode behind them.
Huh.
