//------------------------------// // Go Go Power Rangers! // Story: Mighty Morphin' Power Ponies: Origin Story // by FelixTheBrony //------------------------------// Go Go Power Rangers! “You doing okay there, Applebloom?” Spike asked the red ranger, noticing that she had been fairly quiet since she finished her test. The others were too busy talking about where Twilight's assailant might've gone and how to fight said assailant, to really notice. Applebloom looked up at the slightly taller dragon and smiled, albeit a somewhat forced one. “Yeah I'm...Well actually,” She started, causing Spike to tilt his head a bit. “What's up?” “Um...I just-” Applebloom said, before she remembered that Spike is dealing with his own problems right now and won't have time for hers. So instead, she sighed and nudged him. “I just wanted to know how you're holding up?” Spike rose an eyebrow, but didn't bring up her weird behaviour. “I'm...coping, I guess. I'll feel better when we get the bastard that did this to her.” “Do you know someone who'd want to do this?” She asked, trying to take her mind off of her own thoughts. “A couple of names spring to mind, but unless Sombra or Tirek found a way out of Tartarus, then I'm stum-” The ground underneath everyone suddenly shook, violently, knocking everybody off of their feet, all of them landing on the ground. Spike managed to catch Applebloom, however, and used his wings to hover a little off the floor. “What was that?!” Scootaloo asked, rubbing her head a little, before placing her helmet on, hoping to protect herself in case she falls over. “I haven't the foggiest,” Pipsqueak answered, before nodding and putting his own helmet on. “But I'd say putting our helmets on is a good call.” After their helmets were back on, Spike going without because his scales would be strong enough to withstand most impacts, they gathered in front of the crystal tube Twilight was in to talk. “Well, we know that wasn't an earthquake,” Sweetie Belle said, poking the ground a little. “Or it would've been a lot stronger-” “Not really,” Spike interrupted, leaning against the crystal tube and folding his arms. “We have a Richter Scale for a reason. An earthquake could be happening anywhere and we wouldn't feel it because the effects are that-” “Whatever Captain Nerd!” Scootaloo said, punching the dragon in the shoulder to silence him. “But if that wasn't an earthquake then what was it?!” Almost as if to answer her, Twilight's horn lit up and, on the side of the tube, a projection of what was happening outside was playing. Showing ponies running and screaming as black, changelings flew around and chased them, firing green energy from their horns. They blinked, not sure what to make of that. “Spike, Ah thought tha changelings were good now,” Applebloom asked, turning to said dragon, who was scratching his head in confusion. “They should be, Thorax wouldn't let his people attack us like this,” Spike mentioned, looking over the lot of them before he spotted something. “Wait, is that?!” They looked to where he was pointing and saw Rarity was creating a magical shield against a tall, female changeling with a blue mane. “Queen Chrysalis!” They all exclaimed in union, turning to make their way out of the door. Once they all got outside, Applebloom turned to stop Spike. “Whoa, hold on there!” “Applebloom, what are you-?” “Spike, Twilight used her magic!” She interrupted him, pointing to Twilight's glowing horn. “The castle, no matter how magical it is, can't get magic out of a dead pony, so-” “Twilight's alive...” Spike said, turning to the suspended mare. “Right, and if whoever tried to kill her realizes that, they'll come back. Someone needs to protect her,” She said, placing a hoof on his shoulder, causing him to look back at her. “...You're right,” He replied, putting on the most determined face he has ever had. “And if Chrysalis finds her way here, I won't let her get Twily without a fight. Good luck out there, but my place is here.” Applebloom smiled and nodded. “Good luck to you too!” She said, giving the dragon a hug, before she ran off to catch up with the other rangers, not noticing Spike's stupid grin as she was leaving. Please stay safe, Bloomy. “You picked a bad day to show your face here, you harlot!” Rarity cried, using a spell to throw a few loose stones at the changeling queen. Said changeling just erected a magical shield so that the stones just bounced harmlessly away from her, grinning maniacally. “On the contrary, my little pony, with your cowardly yellow friend out of town, your foolhardy blue one in no condition to fight and your purple Princess out of commission, it was the perfect time to come and get my revenge!” As she was talking, she failed to notice a big, red stallion approach, before both his back hooves smashed into her side, sending her flying into the wall of a nearby building. She looked back and saw Mac smirking at her. “Ah usually don't hit ladies, but fer cackling, evil megalomaniacs, Ah think Ah can make an exception.” She flinched as she got up, using a small bit of magic to call her changelings. “You're going to pay for-” She was cut off when a rope wrapped around her horn and yanked her to the side, bring her face to face with a very pissed looking Orange mare, who's eyes seemed to resemble fire as she slammed her hoof into the Queen's face, repeating the process after each word she spoke. “You put mah baby in danger you bitch!” The queen flinched and used a quick flash spell to temporarily blind Applejack enough to kick the pony away. Ur! Not back at full strength yet! As she got back up, she failed to notice a large blob of cake batter coming at her until it hit her square in the face. “Alright-y, I don't remember there being this many changelings here when I left this morning!” Pinkie said, slowly observing her surroundings behind her party cannon. Just as Rarity, Applejack and Mac made their way towards her, the changeling hoard had come to Chrysalis's side, showing there to be, at least, a hundred of them. Chrysalis, herself, got up on wobbly hooves, shaking her head and pointing to the four of them. “Destroy them, my children, destroy them!” One of the changelings nodded and charged forward to attack, the others following after a while. Rarity was about to prepare another barrier spell, but flinched and held her head in pain. It was then, that she realized, that she had overworked herself and couldn't use another spell for a while. Just as the first changeling was about to hit her, a blur of yellow jumped over the white unicorn, colliding with the changeling and forcing it away, causing the others to back away in surprise. Because there, standing between Rarity and the changelings, stood Pipsqueak in his yellow ranger suit. Just before Chrysalis was about to order another attack, the other rangers jumped in to stand with their friend. “And who are you?” She found herself asking instead. The rangers turned to each other, almost as if they were surprised that someone would ask, before Applebloom shook out of it and stepped forward. “Who we are doesn't matter, what does is that we're here to stop you and what ever it is you're scheming!” She declared, trying not to let her accent slip into her speech, less Applejack or Big Mac recognize her. “But if it matters so much to you,” Scootaloo continued, deepening her voice so she sounded more male than female. “I'm the immovable object, here to stand between you and what you want-” She continued, striking the pose she made when she finished her test. “I'm the Black Ranger!” The others turned to each other, unsure of what Scootaloo just did, before Featherweight shrugged and stepped forward. “I'm the unstoppable force, ready to push you back and out of our town-” He said, striking his own pose. “I'm the Blue Ranger!” “I'm the savage beast, ready to strike whether you're ready or not-” Pipsqueak said, striking his pose, between his posing friends. “I'm the Yellow Ranger!” “I'm the patient hunter, ready to pounce when you least expect it-” Sweetie Belle shrugged, striking her pose between Pipsqueak and Featherweight. “I'm the Pink Ranger!” Applebloom blinked, before sighing, striking her pose in the middle, to show that she was the leader of the group. “I'm the Red Ranger, the leader of the group, ready to take you down and-You stopped listening a while ago, didn't you?” “Huh?” Chrysalis said, snapping out of her stupor, noticing that the rangers were now in a team pose in front of her. “Oh, I'm sorry, you were just babbling for so long-” “Forget it, we're the Power Rangers! And we're here to kick your ass!” Applebloom stated, turning to Rarity. “Get to a safe distance and recharge your magic, we'll keep Queen bitch and her army of bugs at bay.” “Oh, um, thank you,” Rarity replied, making her way to a nearby pharmacy to, hopefully, find a potion or something to help. “Mac, you help her look and keep Rainbow and Golden Delicious safe!” Applejack stressed, pushing her brother back. Mac nodded and ran after the white Unicorn. She then turned to the Rangers. “Pinkie and Ah will clear the changelings on the streets, if y'all will keep these ones busy.” “They'll have their hooves full, we assure you,” Scootaloo said, grinning under her helmet. “Looks like we're on a bug hunt, AJ!” Pinkie cheered, grabbing the orange pony and running off with her and her party cannon in tow. The Rangers turned to each other, nodded and looked towards Chrysalis and her army, the Queen herself, smirking in anticipation. “Well, now that that's been sorted,” She said, almost as if she was just sitting there, letting them coordinate themselves. “Let the battle begin!” And then they charged. Spike placed his hand up to the glass, watching the encounter between Chrysalis and the Rangers. “Good luck guys...I'm rooting for you.” Spike noticed a glowing besides him and turned, surprised to find a glowing Twilight besides him, watching the projection herself. Me too, Spike- She said to him, telepathically, turning to him and smiling, noticing the large, relieved one growing on his face. Me too.
