[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!

Let's try this out Liger!

[Arashi] Ultra King Claw!

What's happening? Ah!

[Master Bug thinking] Look at that. [chuckles]

It's a good thing Gyro and I got out of the way when we did.

[inhales, sighs]

[Arashi]

[Router] Our maintenance team

has just finished its examination.

It seems the boy managed to leave quite the scratch.

There's no way...

The goods news is it wasn't major.

We've fixed it all up of course.

Demise is in fighting form.

You're lucky that's the case!

If you had caught Liger in the first place,

none of this would have happened!

Time for a reassignment.

I'll take matters into my own hands

since you clearly can't handle the pressure.

You'd be crushed.

Wait! What did you say?

Hi, Gigaboss here.

I can't send off my right hand man.

Who would sing me lullabies? Hmm.

Right! Then I'll stay, Your Loftiness.

I'm delighted to hear that.

Now, I've got a sneaking suspicion

those kids are headed to train with Master Bug.

Who is that, sir?

He's a silly old hermit who lives in an abandoned temple.

He used to give me serious headaches.

I have a feeling he's about to give me another.

I'll go intercept them.

Hmm. That would be marvelous, Drake.

You're a darling.

Before you leave, consider the gravity of

the mission you've been entrusted with today.

We expect results this time around not excuses.

Is that clear?

I'll keep that in mind.

I really hope we're not too late in sending him now.

That would be a shame.

If I was being dispatched,

I wouldn't rest until I found them!

I would run all night if I had to!

[Gigaboss] Aw, I love the enthusiasm.

Let's put it to good use.

Perform a passionate solo for me!

It would be an honor, Your Luminance.

[Analog] Uh oh.

It looks like a ghost town from here.

I bet they're all trying to stay out of the heat.

Well? What have we got to lose?

Hey! Who wants to go to the pool?

[Arashi] We can play Marco Polo!

[sighs] They're long gone.

No one could turn down an offer like that.

Anyone home?

[Analog] We come in peace!

There's no reason to be afraid.

[Battalia] We're just looking for something to eat...

We can leave right after, I promise.

-[stomach growls] -[groans]

Hang in there a little longer, buddy.

Wow, their Zoids look so cool!

[gasps] Keep it down, Tamara.

Besides, you shouldn't say that.

Those creatures are incredibly dangerous.

Yeah? How do you know?

Don't you dare try to argue with me, Finn. Got that?

Whatever. I'm done talkin'.

Final call.

The swim team express is leaving the station folks.

[groans]

[clucking]

Watch it!

[angry cluck]

I think I just found us some lunch.

[Arashi] Hey, where are you going?

Fighting a chicken might be our team's new low.

It's so embarrassing...

-[angry clucking] -[screams]

To make it worse he's actually losing.

Master Bug would be so proud.

[frightened yell]

Whoa, there!

[pleased giggle]

Paws up, c'mon, let's play patty-cake!

[excited giggling]

Hey you're making Liger all sticky.

Is your crew still hungry?

Yeah! Gimme, gimme!

We have some food for you, but we have to get off the trail.

Just follow us.

We'll show 'em our spot.

Hey! What ya waiting for?

You gonna just stand there?

Sorry, I freeze up when I get way too stoked!

[excited yell]

[happily munching]

Whoa! It's so good!

You think?

Thanks!

Delicious.

You two are very talented chefs.

Seriously though.

You could open up your own five-star restaurant.

I wish we could take the credit. Our big sis made all of this.

[Battalia] Oh. Why isn't she here?

We snuck out.

Sawyer doesn't want us playing in the woods

because she thinks Zoids are evil.

[all] Uh...

She's just a scaredy-cat.

We know how friendly and cuddly they are.

Yeah, but that's not always the case.

The ones we've met rock!

Should we show them?

Oh! That's a great idea!

Mm, what's going on?

[excited laughing]

[blowing high-pitched tone]

[blows higher note]

[leaves rustling]

[all] Huh?

Hey! Who's there?

[pained yell]

Arashi!

Interesting...

[Analog] Liger doesn't seem too worried.

He must not see Rapterrix as a threat.

Hm.

[grunting]

Fine... You win...

This is our friend Rain.

We hang out all the time.

He's so sweet.

Why don't you say hi to everyone buddy?

[giggling]

Wow! You've managed to tame him!

Seriously, he's super well behaved for a wild Zoid.

It's all because we're like family to one another.

[Finn] He was all-alone when we first found him.

He got separated from his pack.

[Tamara] He looked so lonely.

And to make things worse, it was pouring that day!

So you decided to take him in?

No, not exactly. We'd love to if we could.

The village would go bananas if they saw him.

I see...

So your sister isn't the only one who's afraid of Zoids.

That's right.

If they met him, they'd know he was harmless.

He's the best.

Plus he's great at patty-cake!

His paws are so gentle.

[straining yell]

That's not how I'd put it.

I'm getting seriously squished here!

I've almost got them.

Perfect!

Two for you and one for me.

Look, we match!

He sure seems to love hanging out with both of you.

Really? You think? How can you tell that?

Well, I'm pretty much an expert.

It's my job to know this kinda stuff.

Keep sending him good vibes

and he'll send some right back at ya!

Cool! Can do!

[startled roar]

-[Battalia laughing] -It's just a flower, Rain!

He's a big ol' softy, that's for sure.

And that's why we like him.

Yeah dude, totally get it.

No more veggies?

I could've sworn we had some left.

[worried sighs]

So, how'd it go today?

Did you find any berries?

-Nope. No luck. -Mm-hmm.

If this drought continues, we'll have an empty pantry soon.

Next time you're out in the woods,

could you look a little harder?

[both] Fine!

[snoring]

[tense music plays]

[electricity crackling]

The Rap Squad's in the house, yo!

Word up!

Break it down!

[ominous music plays]

[heavy stomping]

[electricity crackling]

Huh?

Excellent, you found our little settlement!

We have a big development!

Introducing our...

[all] elegant experiment!

Time to get real.

We're working on that Hacker Key just like you asked us to.

Just gotta make tweaks and tighten some screws.

It's true. Now enjoy the preview!

It's kicking off like a kangaroo!

Engaging launch procedure.

The prototype is a success.

Did you see that?

Got you some data and pulled off a Dark Blast!

The test's still in beta, but it looks like we passed!

Now we can help ya in making keys fast!

[roar]

[terrified yells]

We're losing control of the specimen.

Just shut it off, already.

Yo, boss! We're comin' too!

[roar]

[roar]

Hear that?

What was it? A Zoid?

Probably that gang from yesterday.

-[roaring continues] -[worried gasps]

Uh oh.

Doesn't sound good. So whaddaya think?

Let's check it out!

[Villager 1] Red alert! Everybody run for it!

[scared yells]

[Villager 2] Off the streets!

Wait a sec, that's Rain!

Why are you doing this?

It's us, pal! Take it easy!

Don't tell me you actually know this monster!

We're sorry, Sawyer.

Looks like our friend needs our help!

[Finn] Hey!

[Sawyer] Come back!

[shocked gasp]

Talk to me!

What's wrong?

[roar]

[terrified yell]

[grunts]

Rain...

Leave us alone.

Whoever you are, you are not welcome here!

Like I care. Stay outta my way.

You did this to our friend! I can tell.

Liger to the rescue!

You okay?

Hey! What'd we miss?

No way! You came!

You're gonna save the day!

Ha! This is a surprise.

I shoulda known!

[roar]

Rain has Dark Blast engaged.

But how is that possible?

He's been experimented on!

Not again. You're gonna pay for this!

I think you might have your hands full.

I've got Drake. You two protect the town.

-Can do. -You got it!

Now, Liger!

[whimpering]

[growls]

Don't you remember us?

Cut it out. this isn't funny! Please!

We have to get back inside the house.

[both] No, we can't!

[fighting yell]

Let's go.

It isn't safe here. Listen to your sister.

But he needs our help!

[worried yell]

Do you see what I mean, now?

[growls] That's it!

[pained yell]

[grunting]

They've gotten tougher since our last battle.

[growls] Lucky hit.

More where that came from!

[scared gasping]

See! Zoids are evil!

No!

[Finn] You just don't get it!

Huh?

We'll talk about this later!

Wake up, Rain! [crying]

Finn!

[growling]

[Finn] Listen!

It's me! Remember?

[growls]

Please! You need to stay back.

He can't hear you right now!

[roars]

Yo, let's join the fun!

Yeah, they're so done.

We'll heat things up like a megaton sun!

[all] Huh?

[shocked yells]

[all groaning]

[Boombox] Who turned out the lights, yo?

[Tempo] Word up!

[Oldschool] Break it down!

[angry growl]

Watch out!

[angry grunt]

You've gotta snap out of it.

You love hanging out with us.

Stop, it's no use!

You can't break through to him in this state!

No, that's not true!

If I send him good vibes he'll send 'em right back.

[worried whimpers]

Remember the games we play?

Calm down.

[Tamara] Patty-cake, patty-cake, baker's man...

I've got your back, no matter what, buddy.

Me too!

[scared gasps]

[roars]

[worried gasp]

Come back!

He's still angry!

[all gasping]

Ruin, it's time! System override!

[angry growl]

[straining growl]

Dark Blast Engage!

[rock music plays]

[growling]

[all gasp]

[shuddering breath]

No way. This can't be real!

What did you do?

Why would you attack our friend like that?

[Tamara crying]

[somber music plays]

♪♪

[crying softly]

Get over it. This is just how the world works, kids.

You can't bond with a Zoid.

That's not true!

-How dare you! -[Arashi] Cool it!

[both gasp]

[Arashi] Everyone, stay back.

I'm gonna teach him a lesson.

Liger! Fire up!

Tap into Master Bug's training!

This is what real power looks like!

[powered-up yell]

Unleash Wild Blast!

Bring it!

Here's Dark Claw!

We can counter that!

Push 'em away with our new move!

Ultra King Claw!

[heavy breathing]

[both gasp]

[crying]

Hm.

We're not done! Come back.

We'll pick this up later. Let's take a rain check.

Huh?

We raised the roof, but we ain't waterproof.

[all] Hmm?

[together] Drake's hitting the street!

Rap Squad, retreat!

The drought's finally over.

You know when we last felt a drop?

That's right. Yeah, the day we first met him.

And now it's pouring down all at once.

It's like his gift to us.

Oh, Finn...

I see. You sent him good vibes.

He's sending them back.

Listen. Keep on giving.

[Tamara] Huh?

Then he'll always be with you.

I promise we'll never forget about you.

Thanks for being our best friend.

[birds chirping]

[Arashi] Drake was weird.

I mean. Didn't he feel off?

Huh?

I'm sorry, I'm just not following exactly.

I know there was a part of Rain that could hear us back there.

Even when he was rampaging,

I could sense him crying out for help.

I bet Drake could, too.

I think he saw the power of Dark Blast and didn't like it.

Interesting theory.

I doubt it.

[Arashi] Uh, maybe it's just in my head...
