[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] Hey! You're just gonna run away?!

Don't you dare suggest that I'm fleeing like a coward;

I was about to win this battle and you know it!

[worried grunt]

[Drake] We'll meet again Arashi.

Better watch out Drake...

Sure you're tough.

But we're getting stronger every day.

It's not over.

Not yet.

Oh no. Hear that?

Something's coming!

[unsure chatter]

Man, I sure hope they have a nice restaurant!

I hope so too!

No offense but you're not quite what I'd call a master chef.

[Villager] They're headed right for us!

-[alarmed chatter] -Run for it! Get inside!

Wait! There's nothing to fear, we come in peace!

Aww.

[Arashi] Hey, listen up!

The only thing we wanna know is where we can get ourselves a little food.

We're so hungry we could eat this whole town.

Isn't that right, Liger?

[suspicious chatter]

[nervous laugh]

Wait, hang on a sec.

We don't mean that literally.

Don't worry.

Liger wouldn't hurt a fly.

[suspicious chatter]

[growl]

[flying yell]

[alarmed yells]

[exhale]

[pained groan]

[Arashi] Battalia?

[unimpressed exhale]

[Shopkeeper] So uh, is there anything else

I can do for you today?

[Battalia] No!

Thanks! And the next time we need groceries

we'll know where to go!

[Arashi] You should buy this town a sense of humor.

They need one.

Maybe if you hadn't stormed in with your Zoids,

things would be different!

Well, what did you do Smarty Pants?

With Needle?

She's waiting patiently in the forest nearby.

I don't think we've met.

My name's Analog!

Didn't you hear?

I'm on your team!

[Analog] I have the badge to prove it.

He's a human super computer!

[chuckle]

I wouldn't say that. I just like facts.

Hmm. Someone with a brain.

Refreshing.

That's great news.

Shouldn't that make you the leader though?

-Huh? -No, course not!

I am! 'kay?

You're the fixer!

He's the encyclopedia!

Wow. That's a big word for you. Impressive.

Yeah I know all the big words!

Oh! You're right! Silly me.

[nervous laugh]

[Shiloh] Ding dong! Anybody home?

Ha, when am I not?

You brought more of the good stuff!

[Shiloh] Yep, cream of the crop.

[wondering grunts]

[giggle] Taste test!

Ah! Now that's delicious!

It could be the best honey I've ever had.

Really?

I wanna try some.

Thanks kid. Take anything you like!

[Shiloh] Great! Thanks!

'Scuse me, who is that?

That's Shiloh. He lives alone in the forest.

To be honest I don't know a whole lot about him.

He's nice. But as far as I can tell,

he mostly keeps to himself.

A man of the woods...

[Arashi] Aw it's like candy!

Hey! Don't do that.

Yeah you can look but you can't lick!

[angry yelling]

Take it easy!

Both of them are behaving so well!

Hold on; these belong to you?

How dare you invade our town with your filthy beasts!

Think of the children; it's just not safe!

All of you need to calm down!

They're sitting around, not bothering anyone.

Oh I beg to differ bub!

I'm bothered, see?!

All of us are!

[Shiloh] Hey! Zoids are our friends!

[wondering grunts]

I've told you.

It's what the King of the Forest says.

[annoyed grunt] Figures.

Enough of this 'King of the Forest' junk, Shiloh.

Yeah but it's the truth.

I like that guy's vibe.

The shopkeeper was right about him.

He's mysterious and stands apart from the crowd.

I say we follow him!

So who wants to play detective?!

Sure!

I should have seen that coming.

Arashi just can't seem to say no to an adventure.

Sweet!

When we find him we're gonna eat all his honey!

Stop!

[annoyed grunt]

[Arashi] Hey, Shiloh!

[Analog] Show yourself!

He's fast.

It's almost like he disappeared.

Was this a bad idea?

[worried gasp]

[worried yells]

Bad Analog, how did I not notice this swamp earlier?

Yeah!

Stay still or we'll sink.

Are you sure about that?

I don't think your plan's working too well.

Me neither.

But I'm always open to other suggestions!

[straining grunt]

What are you doing?

It's physically impossible, you know that right?

[Arashi] Just watch, Analog.

Where there's a will, there's a way!

[Analog] You don't have to prove yourself to me!

[Arashi] Come on!

[Analog] There's gotta be a way!

[Arashi] Why won't you budge?!

[straining grunt]

Huh?

That's great. That's just great.

[thrilled yell]

Look at those Stag Beetle Types!

Their wings flutter at speeds too high

to be observed by the naked eye!

They fly in swarms to overwhelm their enemies and

deal massive damage with their imposing horn!

Bad time to geek out dude!

Oh. Oops!

[worried yell]

Shoo! Get away!

[Arashi] Huh?

[Analog] They're helping us.

Aw man, I thought we were in for a fight.

I had the same theory.

[Shiloh] Nice job; now bring them down!

[surprised grunts]

Hey! It's you!

There you go, you're as clean as a whistle.

Thank you for sending out your search party.

Oh it wasn't me...

This guy found you all on his own.

Is that your Zoid?

Well he's a real lifesaver!

No biggie, he was just doing what he normally does.

He and the other Zoids are often scouting

the perimeter of our home base.

We're lucky because the swamp acts as

a first line of defense against possible foes.

Good strategy.

Quick pause!

This chat would go great with some honey!

Come on! Battalia's right,

you're always thinking about filling your stomach.

Whaddaya expect; I'm a growing boy.

[disapproving exhale]

So is it just you around here?

Ha! Well you just met all of my roommates!

Hey. Can you point out your Zoid for me?

I can't tell them apart.

That's okay, look closely and you'll see that

there's one missing a pincer.

He's not alone though...

All of these Zoids have been damaged.

I wish I was skilled enough to fix them up.

The best thing I can do is lead them

to where they can find honey.

[excited yell] What? Are we close?

[groan]

[chuckle]

[amazed yell]

I thought it came from bees, not a giant tree!

[Shiloh] It's actually a metallic sap. They love it.

Is that healthy?!

Yeah! I ate a whole bowl full and licked it clean.

[laughing]

That's different.

What you had was the normal kind of honey

that these guys gather for me.

No need to panic.

Good thing, I want more!

Sorry to change the subject.

But what exactly happened to those poor Zoids?

Deleters live nearby.

And...

And they tried to capture them all.

Really?!

[frustrated grunt]

Of course.

They can even get around in the swamp?

They can unfortunately.

They attack my friends...

The ones who escape regroup here.

[Shiloh] They come to be healed by the King of the Forest.

[Analog] Is that the name of this big tree?

Mhmm.

He takes care of all the creatures

in his shadow, even me.

You're joking right?

[Shiloh] Nobody believes me but it's the truth.

He's our guardian.

Pretty sweet.

Bad guys!

Where are they?

[amused chuckle]

Don't worry.

Today's test flight is about to start.

You're in for a real treat.

[Shiloh] Beautiful, huh?

They fly toward the sunset together

to help build up their strength.

Awesome. Like solar power.

[Analog] Wow! They seem better already.

[Shiloh] Take a closer look.

You'll notice that some of them haven't fully recovered yet.

Yeah, you're right.

It's hard.

I wish I could do more to help them.

I feel useless just watching them from down here.

[Analog] I'll give it a try!

[surprised gasp]

[tired exhale]

Amazing, thanks for your help.

[nervous giggle]

Well, I'm doing my best but

I won't be able to repair them completely.

Some of the damage will need more time to heal.

You're becoming a mini-Battalia.

I appreciate that but she's a real maintenance expert

and design specialist.

And all I've ever done is read a few books.

Uh oh!

Analog's been replaced by Mopey McGee!

Hey! You've given Tanks a billion tune-ups.

You wanna guess how thankful he is for you?

I bet it's this much!

[Analog] I doubt it.

Did you forget the lab? I really hurt him.

It wasn't the first time.

I've been letting him down ever since the day I met him.

[Analog] Back then,

I was developing a scent to attract Zoids.

I thought it was finally ready to test in the field.

[alarmed gasp]

[Analog] Although I had made sure

the solution didn't pollute the air,

I hadn't considered how it might react with water.

Next thing I knew,

I had contaminated half of the entire lake.

It was my fault for not considering all the variables.

I got carried away in my research.

So I did what I had to do. I cleaned up my mess.

[relieved exhale]

I was relieved.

[worried gasp]

[Analog] That is until I noticed a creature

lying dormant underwater.

It had been there all along.

That was the first time I saw Tanks.

[Analog] I checked to see if the solution had gotten

into his system.

It had.

So, I had to make things right.

Please! Hang in there!

I hope this works.

I'm running out of ideas.

[disgusted groan]

Oh no. Your vitals are still low!

[Analog] Don't worry. I promise I'll never give up on you.

[Analog] I tried everything and finally he got better.

[Analog] I'm sorry I hurt you.

Time we go our separate ways.

Huh?

Stop it. Can't you see I'm bad news?!

[Analog] No matter what I said, he kept following me.

What don't you get?

You can go anywhere but you can't come with me.

No! You got damaged because of me, clearly I don't deserve you.

You forgive me?

I'm glad I have a friend like you, Tanks;

someone who won't give up on me

whether I'm at my highest point or my lowest.

The end.

We've made progress but Tanks is still afraid of swamps.

That's fine.

We all get spooked by something, even me.

He's grateful to have a rider like you. I'm sure.

But I break his trust again and again.

I performed Hacker Key experiments on him...

It was wrong.

It's rare you find a friend

who's willing to forgive you this much.

The King of the Forest is speaking.

Forgiveness heals all wounds.

Oh as if!

Maybe you're right.

[growling]

Did you hear that too?

Those are V-raptors!

And it sounds like they're in the swamp.

[alarmed gasp]

[Shiloh] The Zoids are fleeing!

Deleters! When are they gonna learn?!

[worried gasp]

Do you know where my Zoid went?

No!

He's gone.

We'll find him!

[angry growl]

I'm on the case!

What should we do with the captured Zoid, sir?

[Router] That depends. What condition is it in?

[Deleter] I mean, by the looks of it,

I'd say it's seen better days...

[Router] Then keep searching!

If you want to offer Emperor Gigaboss a piece of junk,

you can present it yourself.

Understood.

He wants something nicer, huh?

vote that we take it anyway.

We could use it for parts.

[Arashi] Not on my watch. Let 'em go!

[noticing grunts]

Check it out!

Hey! They're the ones on the wanted posters!

This is perfect!

I have news, Boss! We've spotted Liger.

Really?!

Then what are you waiting for, seize him!

Awesome, another day another swamp!

Oh no!

Don't look down...

Attack them! Let's save my friend!

Big mistake!

Ha! Bring it on!

[cocky laugh]

Ship 'em back to the scrapyard!

They're stuck!

It's okay. You have every reason to be scared.

And there's only one person to blame. It's me.

Why don'tcha join your friends for a dip?

[worried yell]

[roaring]

Come on!

[struggling grunt]

[worried gasp]

Arashi!

[struggling groan]

I'm not done yet!

I understand you're afraid.

But we can't just stand by.

We can't!

Liger!

[Arashi] Hang in there! I'm on my way!

We need to step up and save them.

That's what friends are for!

I promise I'll never give up on you.

[roar]

Pool party!

[terrified yell]

You guys have to get outta there fast!

I'm coming! Gimme a sec!

[Arashi] To the rescue!

[Arashi] Liger! Fire up!

You hungry? Well good!

I'm servin' up a pain buffet!

Unleash Wild Blast!

[Analog] Tanks! Fire up!

Time to get up! Let's go!

Let's show them what we're made of!

Unleash Wild Blast!

[roar]

[worried yells]

Ready, aim, and lock them down!

Laser Cannon!

[terrified yells]

You're letting them get away;

Emperor Gigaboss is going to be absolutely furious;

what do you expect me to say to him?

Yes I'll have two unicorns please.

[Router] Oh right.

I guess what he doesn't know won't hurt him.

[Shiloh] You're safe now, buddy.

I owe you guys.

[Analog] Tanks! You were absolutely amazing!

[roar]

That's it, all done.

You're in tiptop shape ol' buddy so feel free to go

but you'll always be welcome here too.

Hey Analog.

Thanks so much for teaching me everything

you know about maintenance.

Oh that? It's no big deal.

It's huge. You're selling yourself short.

Now I have the tools to repair any damaged Zoids

that come in through these woods.

Wow, you'll even fix Dark Metal Empire ones huh?

Sure. If they need me then I'll be here.

Great answer! You passed the test!

[Shiloh] You hungry?

Get outta town!

I'm guessing those are honey flavored.

Yep. They're a treat I only make for my friends.

This is awesome!

Y'know we're looking for a full-time chef

for when we're on the road...

Hold on.

If you want to invite him to be on the team,

you should let your brain decide, not your sweet tooth.

Actually, I always go with my gut.

That's fine. I'm staying but you should come visit.

You bet! I could eat a whole beehive! I did once!

[Shiloh] Uh, that's not a good idea.
