Manehatten Docks
1130 Hours
Granite kicked his legs a bit as he watched the ocean as he sat on the pier, wondering why he was asked to come here of all places. Though they were at least good enough to get him a new spiffy SPD jacket and tried to get him in pants… that didn’t really go as well as he wanted. Still he was now here waiting for something or other.
Still the wait was boring so he started to read a book that he was given, still it was kinda sad it was a children’s book, but what could he do, he didn’t know how to read after all.
Ink walked down the pier, nervously playing with the sleeves of her long sweater. That suited mare had told her to come to this place and look for a small group but as far as she could see, there was only one other person present and it was no pony.
Sitting there was a rather large Diamond Dog, showing her his back and obviously busying himself with something she could not see. That made her a tad nervous. Of course Ink knew not all Diamond Dogs could be judged by few bad examples but still. As she stood there, internally debating if she should look somewhere else, she finally noticed the emblem on the jacket the dog was wearing. It was the SPD emblem. And was not the leader of the SPD a Diamond Dog, as everyone said? Could it be that her new employer came to meet all of them in person? A lump of renewed nervousness formed in Inks throat but then, she made a step forward. She had to ace this, if not for herself then for Whisp.
“Ehrm, excuse me? Sir?” Ink asked, her voice trembling slightly “Are you by chance Mr. Cruger? One of your employees told me to be here today, for the team assembly. Ehr, oh, my name is Ink Tempest, it is an honor to meet you sir.”
“While it would be fun to think certain things, I am not Cruger. I even heard he dislikes being called a Diamond Dog from what I heard at the Headquarters.” answered Granite, having easily heard her with his enhanced hearing, “I am merely a Diamond Dog called Granite, I have also been asked to be here to wait here for something or other.” Granite hummed in concentration as he tried to read the book infront of him and looking quite silly doing so, with in his large claws being a children’s book of all things.
Inks ears splayed back as she felt her cheeks heat up in embarrassment and she quickly buried her face in her palms. “Oh my Luna, I think I want to crawl into a hole now and stay there until next Hearth's Warming!” After a moment and realizing she did not melt from her faux-pas, she peeked out between her fingers and noticed the book. Clearing her throat a bit, Ink pretended to never had said something stupid, still making a mental note about her future bosses dislike about being compared to a Diamond Dog and peaked onto the pages. “Oh, I know that book. Whisp loved it when I read it with her. Ehr, Whisp is my daughter you see? Well, she loved it when she was a foal, I mean...”
”You're rambling” interrupted Granite
Another wave of heat flushed Inks cheeks. “OhmyLunaImsorryIgotnervousand…” she started but clamped her muzzle shut, instead reaching into her long skirts pocket, fishing out a small paper bag. Opening it with a bit more force than necessary, she fished out a handful of deep fried crickets and wolfed them down, hoping to find some comfort and direly needed calmness in the snack.
Granite chuckled and poked Ink on the forehead with one of tips of his claws, despite their large and stone texture he knew how to be gentle with them. “You aren’t here because you did something wrong, right?”
Swallowing the snack, Ink shock her head slightly. “No! I mean, I hope not. You see, this mare in a black suit talked to me after my daughter and I got attacked by some gangers back home in Baltimare. I, ehrm, I used martial arts to defend us and I guess that somehow got her attention.” Her tufted ears swiveled a bit “I also might have fantasized out loud a bit after I had an argument with Whisp. Something silly about me being part of the SPD… and now I am here.”
“Then that means she saw something in you then.” stated Granite in response before petting Ink on the head, “So calm down, you’ve got nothing to worry about.” He gave her then a calm smile, hoping to calm her down since his ears was aching a bit because of the talking, hell he still could hear the traffic nearby through the dock they were on.
Abyssal drove up in his motorcycle up the dock and saw two beings, a Diamond dog and a earth pony. Letting out a sigh he got off of his cycle, stored his helmet before walking up to them. “Sorry if am am late there was a lot of traffic.”
Ink straightened up, only a bit startled and turned to the newcomer, which caused Granite to raise a brow and held up a claw since he was half expecting her to fall into the water. “Oh, h-hello,” she gave a little wave and a smile that showed her fangs just a bit, happy her bangs shielded her eyes “Nice to meet you. I just got here too. My name is Ink Tempest.”
“Nice to meet you, I’m Abyssal Shield.” He said with a smile that also showed his fangs as he put on his sunglasses.
Granite looked over his shoulder for a moment before returning his attention to the book before him, both of them didn’t look like something he could use to alleviate the boredom he was in, so he let them have their discussion.
“Oh, that there is Granite,” Ink pointed at the reading dog, who waved over his shoulder in response “He was here before me and was nice enough to bear with me.”
“Its nice to meet, you Granite… Haven’t seen a Diamond dog in quite a while ever since that one..” Abyssal said but started to mumble something about a dragon and a goat which ended up somehow underground and a whole lot of chaos. He shook his head to get back on track, “Anyway it really is nice to meet you.”
“I hope we will all get along together.” Ink smiled at Abyssal “Say, that motorcycle you used, is that hard to learn? Driving I mean? My daughter keeps pestering me about allowing her to learn it but it looks so… unsafe. So fast and nothing around you to protect you.”
“It took me some time to learn, but I guess it all depends on the pony.” Abyssal scratched the back of his head. “And there is a spell I use to keep me safe on the road.”
“Well, that sounds a bit better than. Still, my Whisp is such a rowdy flier, I wonder if that would translate to driving.” Ink said more to herself, twiddling with her sleeves again.
“Shouldn’t the fear of death stop such thoughts?” questioned Granite, who was bored to tears about this boring conversation, but was having quite a hard time with the book before him.
“I would guess so, but she is in her ‘Nightmare Moon phase’ right now as it is. Even though she claims that it is not a phase. Nothing but loud, quite aggressive music and wearing these socks. I really hope this blows over soon. She was such a cute filly back then…” Ink lost herself in motherly nostalgia, absolutely oblivious that she lost Abyssal and Granite.
She lost Granite on the ‘Nightmare Moon phase’ and socks, the earth were those? “Everybeing constantly changes, don’t look at the past for what you had.” he remembered the pup years of himself, he wished he was back there, but knew he couldn’t, hopefully Ink could understand where he was coming from.
“Hmm, I wonder where the others are. This can not be everypony right?” Ink wondered out aloud, which had Granite sigh as he was ignored. “Maybe they mixed up the address?”
As if on que a sound enters everyone’s ears. It could be described as a tired frog trying it’s damndest to make an impression of nails on a chalk board. Nearly everyone turns to see a unicorn on a moped pull up to the pier next to where everyone was at. The moped and the diver himself look like they took a trip through Tartarus and back, then had to go back into Tartarus because he left his cell phone there. The unicorn himself is wearing boots along with blue jeans. Up top, he is wearing a red shirt and a jacket. The thing is, all of said clothes were torn up or dirty in some way of form.
The sound of water moving could be heard before movement from shore took over, this all pointed that Granite had fallen into the water due to the noise then had came back onto the dock. Shaking himself dry, he returned to his spot, sat down before opening the book he left there and returning where he was.
The unicorn leaves his moped and slumps down on a nearby bench with a long exasperated sigh.
He reaches into his coat and pulls out… a sparkler. He then snaps his fingers near the sparker, from it sparks of fire light it up.
The unicorn then sighs to himself again, “What am I even doing here? Honestly, Redheart comes out of nowhere telling me to get to Manehattan saying something about an ‘opportunity’ then leaves. When I get back to base, the Chief tells me the same thing. I pack up my things and get on the next train with my moped. During the what? Two hours, I had to listen to a pair of kids arguing with each other, followed by a teenaged mare who just KEPT TALKING! When I finally reach the city, I make it halfway to the dock when suddenly, a truck carrying crates of eggs and milk crashes into me and my moped. Goodness knows, how that got resolved quickly. Definitely caused some traffic there. And now I am here….. Sigh…. rotten luck” mutters the unicorn in his negative state.
It was then that he noticed the group of individuals next to him. “Oh, uh don’t worry…. I don’t smoke. This is just a rare thing”
Granite could only look at the others sans the newcomer with one expression, ‘What the hell is up with this idiot?’
“Ehrm, that is not a cigarette.” Ink pointed out, one finger half raised in confusion.
“Yeah, I know. Cigarettes are bad for you, sorry about the second hand smoke” said the unicorn in a stress filled daze.
“Seriously, where did you even get that?” Ink asked, slightly worried about the newcomers state “It's way out of season.”
“Not like I haven’t been near anypony that smoked before.” Abyssal said as he remember someone he use to work with that smoked way too much.
“Ah, I just realized something…” announces the unicorn in his stupor.
“And that is what, Mr. Unicorn?” questioned Granite.
“I gave my cigarette to Dad back at Canterlot…. Huh” states the unicorn. “....wait, who are you again?” asks the unicorn, sparkler still in his mouth.
“You never asked, so you don’t know.” simply stated Granite like the unicorn was an idiot.
“Oh right, how rude of me. It’s common courtesy to say my name first, sorry about that. My name is Pyro H. Tech. Nice to meet you” states Pyro as he wipes one of his hands on his jacket and gives a somewhat clean hand out for a polite handshake.
“Yes, nice to meet you. I´m Ink Tempest.” Ink introduced herself, carefully shaking the offered hand, discreetly wiping her own afterwards.
After Ink pulled her hand away from Pyro’s, the bench underneath him broke which caused him to sit in an quite awkward position. He sighed, and muttered “...rotten luck…”
He then pulls himself out and dusts himself off. After an awkward pause, Pyro speaks up; “Um… this probably sounds kinda weird, but…”
Granite offered Ink a handkerchief he always had around with him before looking up at the now named Pyro, “But?” the Diamond dog wanted the unicorn to continue what he was saying, really feeling like the tolerating the bullshit meter was getting quite full.
“...was anyone else called out here by a mildly annoyed nurse? Oh wait…. Now that I think about it, am I even on the right dock?” he says quickly looking around in a panic.
“Well, it was a mare in a black suit for me. Kind of like in these movies, Mares in Black.” Ink offered.
“If it's about an offer to join SPD then you are on the right dock. Abyssal Shield, it's nice to meet you.” He said as he kept an eye on his bike.
“Oh um, nice to meet you to… wait, what was that about SPD?” responds Pyro to Abyssal in a confused tone.
“They did not tell you why the wanted you?” Abyssal said in a confused tone, not knowing why anyone would go somewhere without know what for.
“‘They’? What ‘they’? I was only told by Redheart to come here. Seriously, what was that about SPD? I think it’s an important question considering they’re basically super cops” asks Pyro with a hint of concern.‘Oh crap! Did I do something wrong? What the hell did I do that had to get SPD’s attention?!’ he thinks to himself as he makes a quick list of the misfortune he had in the past ten minutes.
“All I know they are looking for people to help out with something.” Abyssal said sheepishly, remembering not paying attention at that point of the convection.
‘ ‘Helping out’? Is that code for something?!?!’ thinks Pyro, panic growing steadily with every word. He then puts out the sparkler with his fingers and quickly chomps down on it until he successfully swallowed the freshly put out sparkler.
At that, Ink turned a bit green “That… can't be healthy.”
“What can’t be healthy? Smoking? I thought I already said that?” asked Pyro.
Before they could discuss further, they heard an engine approach as a yellow jeep pulled up beside them, Cruger at the wheel with Nurse Redheart riding shotgun. “Looks like you’re all here,” said Cruger, “get in, I’ll explain what you’re all doing here on the road.”
“... Um I don’t think we’d fit…” noted Granite as he tucked away his handkerchief back in it’s spot, doing the same for the book he was reading, ‘ I don’t get why others think this Cruger even looks like a Diamond Dog, he feels all different and smells different as well.’
“...um, there isn’t a meter around here. Can you like, wait five minutes so I can park my moped?” asks Pyro meekly. ‘Oh crap… he is the head of SPD… what the hell did I do?!?’ thinks Pyro.
‘Oh my Luna, he really somewhat looks like a Diamond Dog! Just blue. Argh, don't let him notice you thought that!’ Ink almost bit her tongue, trying Tartarus to look nonchalant as she approached the jeep.
“Same, I need to park my bike.” Abyssal said pointing to his bike ‘So that's what he looks like… I can see the resemblance to a Diamond Dog’ He thought
“I’ve got them,” Cruger said as he stepped out of the jeep and unfolded a rack from the back. He then placed the moped and bike onto it before strapping them down as everyone else took a seat in the jeep. “Okay, here we go,” Cruger said as he retook the wheel as the others piled into the jeep and drove off, “so tell me, why do you think you’re here?”
“And there goes the Boss with that band of misfits, so much for the GoGoFive team.” muttered Sora as she placed away her binoculars and untapped the listen devices that was attached to the dock, it was sadly a place where many ponies went and that included criminals. Using them to listen through her Morphin’ Brace was an easy task, she looked towards her comrades in arms who she still didn’t understand, Dusk.
“They certainly were interesting, though I’m more concerned about what might happen with the group assigned to Princess Twilight. I'll never understand how Cruger chooses all these misfits, including us.” Dusk muttered, staring after the group with her faintly glowing yellow eyes.
“He atleast had some data on us via the test we’ve done and how we’ve interacted with others.” responded Sora with a sigh, “But I agree about the Twilight Guard, most of them feel like beings that have a high flight chance considering who they are.”
“Seriously, who takes a thousand year old criminal and a strange shapeshifter into a police squad meant to protect someone like a princess? What in Luna’s name is he thinking…” Dusk asked no one in particular before going quiet...
“Maybe that the Princess can Frienship them all?” was all Sora could try to respond with, adding a shrug.
“Uh, lets go with that…” Dusk said awkwardly as she scrunched up her face. “You think we should head back and report to Marri, or do you think you can sneak past the entrance and keep following them?”
“We should back, no need to trigger an alarm by accident and cause panic by accident.” noted Sora in response as she stretched a bit, “Besides I think they’ll have their hands full enough with what I suppose the Red Ranger will be… the Unicorn who ate that Sparkler, which I think Marri went and followed partially since she wanted to see a fellow red and how she measured up against him”
“I hope it went well for her... Well you should go on ahead of me, I'm still a little uncomfortable with the teleporters so I'll take the long way.” Dusk said as she started to walk off.
“Right I’ll see you back at base.” with that a cloud passed overhead and both mares were gone from the area without anyone noticing.
“Right now? I or somepony related to me caused some property damage that belonged to or was related to Nurse Redheart and am currently here to discuss the repercussions. Speaking of which…” says Pyro as he turns to looks at Redheart. “ Redheart. I promise whatever I did, it was not necessary to bring in the chief of SPD in!” says Pyro to Redheart in an exasperated tone.
“Trust me, if you were in trouble I wouldn’t need to bring anyone in, let alone the chief,” Redheart said tersely as Cruger chuckled.
“No! Really? I had no idea!” replied Pyro in a heavily sarcastic tone.
“Ehrm, I don't really know. I just defended my daughter and myself against some street thugs and then your representative talked me up out of the blue. She said I had potential and that I could be part of something big, achieve greatness maybe. She also treated me to some coffee.” Ink answered, her gaze flitting from one inhabitant of the car the the next. “Honestly, this still feels surreal to me.”
“I signed in with SPD, before they took a report from me about what happened in a mine. Then they contacted some others before telling me to head here since I was being recruited to a new division since I had certain traits that would help me aid them in situations they dealt with.” stated Granite as he tried his best not to feel sick with the movement of the Jeep, it was a new experience that was for sure. A really uncomfortable one as his tail was slightly being sat on by Ink, not to mention he had to place his claws on his own shoulders since he was so cramped and less said about his paws the better.
“I remember them telling me they are looking for someone with my talent and skills, so it can be anything.” Abyssal said as he was being squished by Pyro.
“You’re all partially right,” said Cruger as they approached what appeared to be the entrance to an underground parking lot. A large door with a symbol that kind of looked like a metal snowflake was on it.
“I am?” asks Pyro, bewildered by his current situation.
“Except for that, you’re not in trouble,” Cruger said as the door opened, “yet.”
“Oh thank goodness… wait what was that last part?” asked Pyro.
Cruger just chuckled as he drove through the door, leading them into an underwater glass tunnel. “However, there's one tiny misconception I need to clear up, you’re not joining SPD, not exactly.”
“Sir? What?” Ink asked flabbergasted.
“Well we’ll just join Not Exactly SPD and do whatever you want us to do, same difference if we were being put into SPD.” noted Granite not really caring where he was going, just that he had a place to go to.
“Then what are you joining then?” Abyssal asked as he raised an eyebrow
“....... wait what was that about SPD?” asked Pyro still confused.
“First thing’s first, you may now respond with awe,” Cruger said as they rounded a crest, revealing a massive underwater structure amongst a spectacular vista.
“Nice view….” states Pyro in a noticeably calmer tone. ‘...even though we could probably get a similar one at the local aquarium. Still nice though.... Is that a car under some rubble over there?’ he comments to himself.
“Wow, this looks like something out of these books I read for inspiration when I was preparing for some semi-dystopian alternate reality stories about Equestria.” Ink said, her dismay from moments earlier forgotten.
Granite looked around in awe of the view before him as he muttered out loud, “There are still such majestic views on this world, I hope I will see more as time comes and go.”
“Now this is something I don’t see every day.” Abyssal said in awe.
Cruger stayed quiet as they entered the base, bringing them into a large hanger that also contained 5 massive train engines. “I’m assuming you know SPD’s mission statement, ‘Protect the citizens of Equestria from threats beyond common sense’, by punching them in the face with giant robots.”
“.....I like giant robots…. They’re cool...” commented Pyro as he thought about the various mechas he’s seen from anime.
“I think that would be a great line for one of my short stories. Maybe even for a book?” Ink wondered idly.
“So which train is going to be the fist that punches those ‘threats beyond common sense’?” asked Granite quite curious as he had seen a few times the Megazord of the SPD and the zords that became it.
“Actually the Rail Rescues are mainly transport for the Zords,” Cruger chuckled.
“Pretty sure they still can turn into a giant robot.” responded Granite with an odd certainty.
“Not until you’re sufficiently trained, if you take the job I’m about to offer you of course.”
“..... I’m sorry what was that about a job?” asked Pyro.
“Just let think, where was I? Explain your not gonna be SPD, take ya to the Aquabase, punch in the face, ah yes. While SPD has law enforcement on lockdown, it’s severely lacking in the areas of fire-fighting, search and rescue, disaster response, etc. So, I had two choices, expand the training of SPD, which would require more paperwork than I’m willing to undertake, or create an entire new division, Lightspeed Rescue.” explained Cruger
“....wait…. Does that mean… you’re asking us to be Power Rangers? Sweet!” responded Pyro.
“It doesn’t have to mean that, he could just be asking us to become part of this division, that being said, all things pretty much point towards that… which is odd.” muttered out Granite.
“That… wow, that would still be something enormous either way.” Ink nibbled at her lip as she digested the news.
Cruger chuckled as a technician handed him a metal case, “Firecracker’s right, you guys are Lightspeed’s short list, aside from miss Redheart here who’s already accepted of course.” Nurse Redheart lifted her arm to reveal an odd device on her wrist with the same emblem that was on the door.
“That’s not really my name sir, but I don’t care! Ah, the colt in my is crying right now!” announces Pyro.
“I think I have a loli somewhere if you want.” Ink offered from the sidelines. “If you don't mind blueberry-rhubarb flavor.”
“How about giving him another firecracker to smoke instead?” Cruger chuckled as he pulled a set of files out of his coat, “In all honesty I didn’t choose you by putting a bunch of pictures on a dartboard, you all have excellent skillsets in addition to an instinct to help. Mr Granite, you have a natural instinct for geology, able to determine with your five senses what would otherwise take sophisticated equipment. You can enter an unstable cave, brace it, and get the victims out while anyone else would still be setting up their gear. I’m sure with the right training this can be expanded to unstable buildings as well.”
“If you see this potential and possibility within me, then I’ll stay with this den and see where it brings me.” noted Granite with nod, ready to try at this.
“Abyssal Shield,” Cruger said as he opened up his file, “your talent in ice magic is ideal not only for putting out fires, but generating cold to prevent explosions that would otherwise make a bad situation worse. Not to mention your past and training as a merc will allow you to handle a variety of changing environments and situations on the fly.”
“I just like helping people… And you kind had to learn Ice magic because of an old partner I had.” Abyssal said as he straightening up his back.
“Should be lucky you’re not stripping,” Cruger said under his breath as he pulled Ink’s file to the forefront, “Ink Tempest, single mother, freelance investigative journalist, au-natural sonar highly tuned, trained in a highly effective Thestral martial art that I still need to figure out, and knows exactly when not fighting is the appropriate response. Sounds like the ideal spotter, gotta know where the victims are before they can be saved right?”
“If you say it like that it sounds so grand… Mother taught me all I know. Father too. To use what Luna gave me, to help those around me.” Ink responded, nervously nestling with her sleeves before straightening herself and giving what she hoped was a proper salute “I will certainly try my best sir.”
“All I ever ask,” Cruger grinned, “Redheart was formerly a medic of the Frontier Guard. The action she saw combined with the weekly shenanigans of Ponyville have molded her into an excellent paramedic with zero tolerance to bullshit.”
“And that includes you,” Redheart said.
“I believe you mean another individual that is related to me” countered Pyro.
“Yes your grandfather is one of her regulars isn’t he?” Cruger said as he pulled out Pyro’s file.
“Yes sir… he is very sorry for everything….. Seriously he is……… don’t look at me like that Redheart” muttered Pyro.
Cruger just chuckled as he looked over the file, “Excellent fire mage, which is actually surprisingly useful for fire fighting despite what logic would have you believe. Certified pyrotechnician, easy enough to upgrade that to the equally entertaining high explosives. And like everyone but Granite you’ve got some combat training.”
“...... that is literally the kindest thing anyone has said to me today…. Thank you…” said Pyro.
“Just play nice with Abyssal,” Cruger said, “fire and ice mages not getting along is a stereotype I’d rather avoid.”
“You won’t have to worry about that! My best friend is an water and ice mage!” responded Pyro with a smile.
“Alright, you know why you’ve all been chosen, make your decision now,” Cruger said as he opened the case, which contained 4 devices identical to the one Redheart wore, “before you do, know that this will be dangerous work, and I won’t think any less of you if you say no.”
“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so why would anyone say no to this...Also my parents would kill me if I would say no.. My mom always wanted me to be in the royal guard, just like her and I think this is more exciting. Count me in.” said Abyssal
“Mr. Cruger, sir. I am a faithful otaku with dreams and wishes of my own. You are giving me the opportunity to join a tokusatsu like team AND pilot a giant robot…. As well as allow me to perform the duties given to me in my previous job… unless you throw a massive curve ball at me, then you got yourself a ranger!!” announces Pyro with a salute.
“I came all the way here because somepony and someone I never meet before believed I could make a difference, for Equestria and everyone in it. What kind of mother would I be if I not tried my hardest to really make this difference? Please count me in sir!” Ink Tempest said, standing tall with her eyes sparkling from behind her bangs.
Granite looked at the devices and could only state one question, “Those things don’t have small buttons on them… right?” he was scared that if they did, well he couldn’t actually use them since despite what he wanted, he didn’t have simple point since his claws did have claws, which meant small buttons didn’t work well with him.
“That depends, you consider 1x2 inches small?” Cruger replied.
“... Yes.” muttered Granite with a sigh, he had oversized claws not his fault he was given these on birth.
“Don’t worry, there’s only one button, the rest is mostly voice controlled.”
“Very well, well to one canine like to another, I’ll go along with this plan.” said Granite with vigor.
“What is it powered by? Fighting spirit? Radiation?” asked Pyro.
“I would guess some really advanced technology. Or maybe these things are alive by themselves and form a symbiotic relationship with their users, lending them strength in return for some excess energy?” Ink speculated, going along with Pyros enthusiasm.
“I think your head is just too much in the clouds.” stated Granite to Ink before flicking her forehead to get her back to earth.
“Let me have this! Please!” pleaded Pyro which had Granite sighing but keeping calm because he couldn’t care less if they were loud as long as they acted professionally during work.
“The Morphers, and by extension the suit, are powered by a unique Mana Reactor that uses the user’s magical field instead of the environment’s,” Cruger explained, “speaking of, catch.” With that, he tossed each of them a morpher.
“Is this…. What I think it is….” asked Pyro as he caught it in his hands.
Granite caught the morpher before looking at Redheart, then placing his own morpher like her, since he expected that was how he was suppose to wear the item.
“This is making me feel excited. And nervous.” Ink caught the little device and fumbled a bit with it before she decided to imitate what Granite did. “Hmm, like this?”
“It seems so.” Abyssal said as he put on the device. “Fits like a glove.”
“Alright then, little slider on the side sets the whole thing in motion, take em for a spin,” Cruger grinned.
“Uhm, is there a certain catchphrase or something we need to recite? Usually, there is one on these kind of things.” Ink wondered while carefully tapping the slider. “How about... Lightspeed Rescue, go?” A moment after she said that, Ink found herself snugly fitted into her new green ranger outfit. Inspecting herself, she muttered “Well, this certainly is different. Pretty thight around the chest though.”
Granite looked at the device before flexing his claws before calling out, “Equip On!” then pressed the slider on the side and allowed himself to covered in the suit, though he was surprised when he looked at his hands which looked normal and then fell over and he looked at what was hooves, “Hooves… really?” he never understood how the ponies stood with those things.
“Here, lemme help you up” says Pyro as he helps Granite get up.
“Thanks.” muttered Granite trying to stay balanced on the hooves the suit had, “Would it be so hard to give me paws down there… also my lack of tail is making things worse to me sense of balance.”
Abyssal looked at the slider before sliding it. “Lightspeed Ranger Go!” A moment late he had on blue ranger outfit. “It's a Little snug...But wearable.”
“No offence to you guys, but you’re doing it wrong. Trust me, I’ve seen this a million times. You gotta put more emotion into it! Here watch me!” Pyro states as he clears his throat. “Hen-shin!” he calls out as the suit covers his body. He then shouts: “Pony lives are the planet’s future! We won’t neglect any in peril! We pledge our hearts to the peace of the planet! Blazing rescue spirits! Rescue Rangers! Lightspeed! Rescue!” announces Pyro as he strikes a pose.
“... we’re going to have to pose with him aren’t we?” commented Granite with a sigh as he held his face with his left hand.
“Welcome to the life of a Power Ranger, I promise the last thing it’ll be is boring,” Cruger chuckled.
