[Narrator] Zoids!

Equipped with a metal body,

animal instincts, and a fighting spirit,

these fierce creatures roam the world

and rule it with their iron might!

But when a human joins forces with a Zoid,

they form an unmatchable bond and unlock

a hidden power that knows no limits!

They call it...

Wild Blast!

[Arashi] So, wanna join the team?

Sure, why not?

Alright!

Well, I better be heading out.

Huh? But you just made the roster!

I have some solo projects I need to get a move on.

Cool...

But even when we're apart we can still be friends!

Sound good?

Sounds good to me Arashi. I'm in.

[Arashi]

[upbeat music plays]

[refreshed sigh]

[Arashi] Morning sunshine!

I'm the king of the world!

Now, let's have some breakfast and get moving!

[grumbling]

[Arashi] Aw man... I forgot...

We're outta food. Not again!

[stomach grumbling]

Cheese... Pickle... Peanut butter... Sandwich...

[Arashi] Is that mountain growing?

No, wait.

Even better than that.

Oh, it's been too long.

Who's a good lollipop?

Ah...

Well, hot dog.

[Arashi] This is awesome!

What else you guys got back there?

[pleased laugh]

Ya cleared our fridge!

But I'm sure we could fix you something up

from the pantry, right Kara?

Of course!

This is seriously the happiest moment of my life!

Can I move in?

Too much?

Don't fret there partner.

Always eager to lend a hand to those in need.

So whatcha doing on your own?

Wait, wait!

You think I'm alone?

Uh, where's Liger?

Okay!

I'm looking for my friend!

He's nice. He's also a giant lion.

But he won't bite you, I promise!

[warm laugh]

We ain't worried 'bout that.

Really?

[excited chatter]

Uh...

I thought I was into Zoids but this is next level!

Why isn't everyone scared of him?

Why should they be, kid?

This town was founded by Zoid Seekers,

so we sure don't spook easy.

Whoa! You're tougher than I thought!

Right on, in fact we still have riders

who swing by these parts every once in a while.

We love these newfangled metal critters.

It's basically printed in our DNA.

Sweet.

Warning, you might wanna grab a stool for this news.

Guess what's coming up? Our annual Zoid festival!

It's the best in the west by a mile!

What? Sign me up!

Can I live here?

Sure thing, I'm the mayor!

You know... This hoedown starts tomorrow.

Wanna throw your hat in?

You bet! Man, it's like a dream come true!

Now hold on Grampa.

Don't go pullin' a stranger into this.

But he's chomping at the bit!

Well that's 'cause you haven't told him everything.

I got him all tied up in my lasso.

Let me have this one thing.

C'mon he's not a horse!

What ya talking about?

[nervous breaths]

[laughing]

[Buggy] This place cracks me up!

Gimme a bag of peanuts and I'd be entertained for days.

Hey there Chuckles.

I wanted to ask you how many citizens you got in town.

Tumbleweeds don't count...

[angry grunting]

Remember, when you come to the rodeo...

Y'get the horns.

So who's that guy?

Oh, that's Buggy. He's the mayor in the next village over.

[Buggy] Relax!

What brings you here?

A Zoid!

The word on the street is

you drafted him on your team for the festival.

[determined grunt]

-[shocked yelp] -[worried gasp]

I thought I'd come scope 'em out for myself.

Ain't that funny.

'Cause I heard the exact same thing

about you and your city slickers.

[both] Get ready to be taken down.

This is gonna be the face off of a lifetime!

[laughing]

[growl]

[laughing]

Huh? What's their deal?

[sigh]

Listen. I'll level with ya.

But don't get mad.

[Kara] Every year,

we put on a Zoid battle between our two villages.

We only use puppets but that don't stop Buggy

and my Grampa from getting competitive.

They're always upping the ante!

Always.

Now that some riders have wandered in,

they wanna organize the real deal.

Hold on a sec. You mean me?

Yeah! I'm so sorry.

I warned him you'd decline.

Huh?

I'm caught up!

And you can count me in!

[stunned yell]

Ha! Well, ya don't say!

Think of it as my way of thanking you for lunch.

Liger!

[Arashi] Blink if you're not up for this epic showdown!

See, he's totally stoked too!

[deflated sigh]

I think he's ignoring you.

[howling laughter]

If I were you, I'd start training right away!

My recruit'll have a ball beating you!

[laughing]

[Arashi] Remind me to stop into your hat store before I leave.

You sure you wanna go through with this?

Yeah!

You know, I should probably find out

who the competition's gonna be.

The detective's on the case!

This is what I call camouflage.

I'm the master of disguise.

They'll never find out I was here.

[laughing]

[Buggy] It's an honor to have you on the team.

You're gonna knock it outta the park.

[Arashi's inner monologue] So, that's who I'm facing...

I gotta get a better view.

[Buggy] I did some scouting and found out

who's stepping up to the plate on the other side.

[Buggy] He's no water boy,

but I'm sure you won't have any issue striking him out.

Stick to the game plan.

[Arashi's inner monologue] Easy... Be the bush.

[alarmed grunt]

What genius put a steel wall in the middle of a hedge maze?

Uh oh!

Let me go right now.

I had the perfect cover and you're ruining it!

Time out. Who's crying foul?

[sheepish laugh]

I love midnight strolls, don't you?

[worried yell]

It's you!

You're Tremor from Team Supreme!

Aren't you gonna say anything?

Need a reminder?

Quade is your leader and he thinks he's top dog!

Hey! Can you not hear me or something?

Oh, he's the silent type. I forgot.

[laughing]

An all-star like him doesn't rely on words.

He's a man of action, see?

If you ask me it's kinda rude!

Seriously! Somebody let me down!

[falling scream]

[pained groan]

[no audible dialogue]

Okay... I think I figured it out.

You left Team Supreme then went to the desert.

It was too hot so you went to the mountains to cool off!

Then... You decided to check out this village.

Very good.

At that point you signed up for the festival

'cause you wanted to get one of those hats.

I got skills.

A game of charades is no match for a detective in training.

[snoring]

Pitch 'em one of your ol' knuckle balls Tremor!

[snoring]

This is wicked.

Now that I know who I'm actually facing tomorrow,

I'm getting seriously fired up!

Guess what.

I grew up with a brachiosaurus-type around;

he was my Dad's.

They were so tough. I learned from the best!

[Arashi] See ya tomorrow!

I'll be up bright and early!

[Deleter 1] Zoid at eleven o'clock.

It's that lion-type that escaped!

[Deleter 2] Wait till the boss hears about this.

[chatter]

[Arashi] Don't start without me!

Aw man, I knew I should've set an alarm.

I slept in way too late!

Liger, why didn't you wake me up?

Hey look he's finally here!

[cheering]

Thanks, I'll be signing autographs later!

[nervous laugh]

Battalia?

Is that really you?

Hmph.

Hey!

Wait!

I knew I recognized you.

Fine, you caught me!

Sounds good to me Arashi. I'm in.

Bye! Take care! See ya!

I'm just passing through.

I didn't come because of you, okay?

I get it, you missed me, admit it already!

[Battalia] You wish! It's just a coincidence!

Well in that case whatcha doin'?

Oh, did you come to cheer for me?

In your dreams...

I'm following a lead about treasure.

Lots of seekers share their leads in this area.

[Battalia] I just heard about the real-life Zoid battle

everyone's so excited about.

I was gonna stay and watch until I found out who's competing.

It's fate! I've got backup!

You got the wrong idea.

You really think I'm gonna join your fan club?

Please. I bet you're not even ready. Do you know the rules?

Uh...

Nope, sure don't!

Didn't think so.

How do you get by without my help?

[sigh]

[Battalia] Apparently the match is held in a circular arena.

If you fall off the platform, game over...

If you get tired out or give up, same thing.

The way I see it,

Liger's got the upper hand when it comes to speed

but Grax definitely packs a bigger punch.

He's just too powerful.

With nowhere to go to dodge his attacks,

you're at a clear disadvantage.

Not to rain on your parade but you don't stand a chan--

Wow! You're full of tips!

C'mon buddy.

Why do I waste my time with him?

Well, he's in for a rude awakening.

Let's go, Needle.

[Deleter] On the move.

The coast is clear.

Yeehaw, high noon is finally here!

The umpire's blown his whistle!

-Saddle up folks! -Everybody take your seats

Bring in the Zoids!

Hey! I'm talkin', 'kay?

Actually I'm the announcer.

I'm in charge.

[bickering]

[embarrassed groan]

[cheering]

[cheering]

I've been waiting for this moment.

[nervous laugh]

I'm even a little nervous.

Whatevs.

We've got this in the bag for sure!

[Arashi] Dad would be so stoked to see this.

Here goes!

[cheering]

[Chuckles] And now, let the battle...

[Buggy] Begin!

Alright! Rock 'n roll!

[growl]

Hey! Could ya keep it down?

[alarmed yell]

Nice one. You're a lot faster than I expected.

[Buggy] Well, well, well old man.

Are you paying attention to what's happening on the field?

One hit from Grax and your guy strikes out.

[furious growls]

[cheering]

Hang tight. You can do it.

We aren't afraid of you!

[roar]

Grampa's louder than this.

[gasp]

Heads up!

That was close!

We're quick on the rebound.

Enough defense, time to pounce!

[roar]

You're going down!

[pained yell]

[cheering]

Dude, I sure gotta hand it to ya.

[Arashi] That's some serious power.

It's always the quiet types isn't it?

I'll find a way to topple you over, just wait.

[Hatchet] Target in sight!

Huh?

What? Not them again!

[worried chatter]

Well done. Search complete.

General Hatchet reporting for duty.

I've been briefed all about you.

And now I'm here to realize Operation Recovery.

That's right!

I'll be capturing Liger for the boss today.

I never disappoint.

So surrender while you can.

Hah!

Take your last bow.

The sapling withers in the shadow of the great oak tree.

Uh... I don't think I get it.

You aren't worthy of my poetry!

Because of you and your antics I was demoted from my station.

Same here, they recast me!

And that makes me angry.

Listen up!

Don't let the enemy get under you skin.

With our combined power we are strong.

Well said.

Indeed.

Thanks, that means a lot to me!

Reality check.

I'm not giving up my Zoid!

Stick to the playbook, men. Phase one, engage!

Saw that coming a mile away!

[growl]

Doesn't this bring back fond memories?

It's a cast reunion.

Now pay attention to your cue and hand over the goods!

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

In either case we're accomplishing the mission.

Keep dreaming!

I won't throw in the towel.

We're sending you back to where you came from!

[roar]

[Arashi] Liger! Fire up!

Now this is the fight I wanted!

Liger and I aren't holding back!

[battle cry]

Unleash Wild Blast!

You know what we've gotta do!

[roar]

[Arashi] Go for it!

King Claw!

Someone tell me I'm dreaming!

We really gotta get out of here!

Stand your ground.

It's time for a change of strategy.

Operation seize the fans engage!

[scared yells]

[menacing chuckles]

[pained grunts]

Who was that?

[Tremor] I guess it's our turn.

I can't stay quiet forever...

You won't stay standing for long!

Unleash Wild Blast!

Huh? No way.

I had no idea they could pull that off.

[worried yells]

Hold the line.

It couldn't possibly reach us from that distance right?

[pained yells]

In victory and in failure it's always an honor to serve.

And, scene!

[flying screams]

Amazing!

They did it!

I'd call that a homerun!

[both crying]

-[sighs] -[crowd cheering]

[Kara] Come back and visit any time!

You're always welcome in our town!

[Buggy] Same thing for ours.

[Chuckles] See you at next year's festival!

Definitely, we're in!

Yo, Tremor!

Don't you think I forgot about our battle.

We'll settle it in a rematch, you can count on that!

[Arashi's inner monologue] See you soon, pal.

Well enough standing around!

We got places to be!
