//------------------------------// // Ch.2: Defending All Cattlekind! // Story: Baaad Future // by trahzo //------------------------------// The Prairie, a land of brown green grass and blue skies was in trouble! Fighting off the predators and Tehen Vioz's forces! "Get BACK!!!" Shouted a huge brown bull as he tackled a mess of bad guys out of his way! "Texas!" His wife Minnesota called. "What is it hun?" "Look!" Texas looked up to see 13 figures fly through the sky! "Was that our daughter Arizona?" Said Texas before stomping the chest of one of Tehen's minions! "They look like they were about to land in California's barn, the one with all the soft hay dontcha know?" Said Minnesota. "Well, they came at a perfect time to help us!" Meanwhile... "Did anyone get the number of that warlock?" Spike said. Spike then opened his eyes to see his face incredibly close to an unconscious Arizona Cow. Spike reeled back and got off of Arizona. "Uh girls?" "We're over deer Spike." Velvet called over. Everyone face palmed at that pun. Arizona woke up after. "What happ..." *Bam!* "ARIZONA!!!" Shouted Texas. "Dad?" "Are these the Keepers?" "Yes." "And who are these 7?" "They're ambassadors from Equestria." "Well, you all came at a good time, because the Prairie is under attack by the Hyenas!" "Then we better get going! We'll have proper introductions after we help save your home!" Said Applejack. "God Speed! Minnesota, we have to find injured and help them into this barn!" The 13 entered the field of battle! "Here I go!" shouted Arizona as she made a hard kick on a hyena who was about to kill an injured bull! "A...Arizona?" "Go find somewhere to hide!" Arizona told her. "Look out Arizona!" Spike said before he blasted fire all over a hyena who was behind her. "Good job Spike!" "Everyone, we need to spread out and get into teams of 2, but the one left can choose who she or he can go with." Said Twilight. So 6 teams were chosen and Spike went with Applejack & Arizona before everyone split up to help defend the Prairie! *Boom!* "Whoa!" Gasped Applejack. "What was that?" Spike wondered. "Up there!" Arizona pointed out. They all looked up at the train station rooftop to see 3 silhouettes! "We are the Lieutenants of General Gotcha! We have a message, surrender or become delectable triple bacon cheeseburgers with spicy mustard, and curly fries on the side!" Said the one in the middle! "Who are you?!" "They want to know who we are." said the female one. "Alright team, Roll Call!" Then all 3 jumped into the air and landed on their feet in front of them! "Lieutenant Red!" "Lieutenant Blue!" "Lieutenant Yellow!" "And together we are....Warring Sentai: Lieutenant Ranger!" Then they all posed! "SQUAD 1!" Then the train station blew up from their epicness! "..." "Oh, you're so intimidated you cannot reply to our epic entrance?" "Yeah, these 3 are terrified!" "Yeah, your weirdness is really scary." Spike said in a sarcastic tone, receiving a giggle form Arizona. "What? We aren't weird! We're epic!" Blue said intensely! "Yeah! You're just jealous!" Said Yellow! "And that's why you'll die!" They said as they ran at AJ, Arizona, and Spike. "Team attack: Red Meteor!" All 3 said as Blue and Yellow launched Red high into the air! He then darted at them spread eagle in a furious blaze! All 3 got out of the way! *Boom!* Red then landed on his feet as the place where he caused an explosion was set ablaze! "The grass! That's our food!" Gasped Arizona. "I got it Arizona!" Spike said as he inhaled all of the flames! "So, this is what we need to make you cows and bulls lose hope huh?" Red said to himself. "Team, attack the grass!" "Oh-no you don't!" Applejack said as she lasso'd Yellow and preceded to buck her in the stomach! "Gack!" Spike inhaled all of the fire that red was casting from his palms! "Aaaah!" shouted Arizona, as Blue's water blasts pushed her back! Arizona then countered by stomping the ground, rocketing herself through the water and jamming her horns right in blue's chest! "Hurk! Dammit!" "Team! Gunswords!" "Right!" Blue & Yellow replied. All 3 pulled out gun/sword hybrid weapons and began shooting! AJ and Arizona dodged! "Spike!" Spike was unaffected by the bullets because of his thick scales! "Arizona!" Spike then jumped and saved her from being slashed by Blue's sword! Spike and Arizona blushed when Spike was on top of her and their faces were almost touching. "Heh...that was close, thanks fellah." "Flash Lightning!" Yellow announced before taking a swing at Applejack, but missed! That's when she lasso'd Yellow! "Hey! Let go of..."Then Applejack began throwing apples that burst to pieces when they hit her helmet! "Ow! Ow! Cut that out!" That's when she thought of something. "Ow! Looks like I'm gonna have to burn this off with my shock burst!" "Stop! You're wet with..." "Nyaaaaaaaaaan!" Yellow didn't listen to Applejack, sure she got free from the rope, but electrocuted herself for she was covered in apple fluids. "We're losing.....TEAM! Time for our special finisher move!" "Got it Red!" They replied! That's when Red pulled out a string, Yellow curled into a C-shape, Blue tied the string to her boots and helmet, Red stood straight and stiff, then Blue took aim as he pulled Red back on the string! "HUMAN BOW AND ARROW!!!" They announced! Blue then fired Red out of Yellow! That's when Arizona pulled out her rope, lasso'd the flaming arrow and then spun him back at Blue & Yellow! Yellow and Blue exploded in a flaming explosion and before Red died himself, he said this to Spike, Arizona, and Applejack! "Aaaaaah! Kill us if you must, but we're not the only Lieutenant Rangers! They shall avenge us as soon as word gets out and you'll be sorry!" "Alright, after we take out general Gotcha, this place will be safe." "Now where will we...Whoa!" Arizona was almost hit by a shuriken! "I'm right here, but you're gonna have to catch me!" Said the anthropomorphic ninja crow before running! "He's heading for town square! Follow me!" Said Arizona.
