For over a thousand years, humans were the guardians of Equestria, until they went extinct over 500 years ago. Recently a human brought from another world to help Twilight has caught the attention of Princess Celestia. Could this lost man be the one to protect Equestria from evil like the past? One thing is for sure, Equestria is in danger, and they need a Lightspeed Rescue.

Okay...let me be perfectly honest...

Nostalgia values will likely only be able to power me through this one. While I can say I remember Power Rangers very fondly, this is probably THE LAST CROSSOVER I'd ever think of...unless this is completely played for laughs, I can't see this working.:applejackunsure:


I'll give it a shot...but the first chapter better be damn good, because a concept this silly needs to either be a parody or EXTREMELY well-written...

I'll read this later, but I must say that Lightspeed Rescue is arguably one of my top 2 least favorite series of Power Rangers...and I've loved them since the beginning haha

...Oh dear lord...:ajbemused:


Okay, I first have to ask...what does ANY OF THIS have to do with Lightspeed Rescue? I watched the show as a kid, and even having that far back knowledge, I know for a fact that nothing here is related.

Next...this is a TIRED premise. Military member in Equestria? When I heard the military mentioned, I groaned. That's not a good first sign, but what's worse is that you have him swear, act like every other human, and it just feels....bland and tired.:facehoof:


Finally...nothing happens here. When I read the first chapter of a story, especially a crossover, I expect the interaction to begin primarily in the first chapter, if not set-up. What you gave us was the background for a bland human character that we're only told was randomly sent to Equestria, and is apparently a hardass. Not only is that, as I've said, EXTREMELY bland, but it doesn't give us ANY IDEA of how the story will progress. Your reader should have an idea of the story once we first read the chapter. We don't read stories to understand the plot, we read them to see how the plot progresses. That's why we read ANYTHING. This beginning does nothing to set up anything.

I mean, we're given a story about a human in an organization, then he randomly talks about being sent to Equestria, we get ONE SCENE OF DIALOGUE with him and Twilight Sparkle as "development", and then HURDUR ROBOTS ATTACK.

I can tell you can write. There's no doubt you have talent. However, for a crossover/parody/adaptation between FiM and a childhood staple, I'd expect more of a nostalgia vibe, with references and fun and hints dropped to foreshadow the plot about to unfold...and most importantly, AN ACTUAL CROSSOVER.

I don't know what you intend to do with this story, but you have a LONGGGGGGG way to go before you can make this a good story, let alone a good crossover...

911820 same, lost in space would have probably been better,

911824


You mean "In Space"? That...would actually be a very interesting premise. I mean, that would take A LOT of plot points to set-up:applejackconfused:, but I would enjoy that concept. Would be pretty cool to see how expansive they could make the universe beyond Equestrian Earth, much like how In Space did for the show's universe...

911820

To be completely honest...the first chapter shows no resemblance to anything Power Rangers-related. It's THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what it says on the tin, really.:applejackunsure:

911841that one too but there is one where they get pulled to another universe. maybe its Lost Galaxy

Ok, let me try to tackle these...
911822
Thank you for the constructive critisism instead of outright bashing it. Yes, I had Phoenix be a former member of the military, he clings to it because he's in a strange situation, and he wants something familiar. The swearing dies down after this. I admit, this chapter was a bit rushed, and I didn't get the char development I would have liked to with Phoenix, something I want to change with future chapters
As for the lack of PR refrences, I'm going to make that all clear in the 2nd chapter. I wanted to have an established character before throwing in the PR stuff. Now whether I succeeded or failed is up to the reader. If I failed, I'm sorry I wasted everyones time.

911872
I actually seriously considered Lost Galaxy when thinking about this, and I haven't completely scrapped that idea...

I'll read this later, Mr Author. Though I do need to rewatch Lightspeed Rescue at some point. Then again, I need to finish Mighty Morphin.

911824
Somepony actually crossed FiM, G1, and Mighty Morphin and actually did a pretty good job. Hang on, give me a sec, I know I can find a link to it.


EDIT: My Little Pony and Power Rangers

There it is. And actually, the romance tag on there is for an old one he brings back from Mighty Morphin.

911941 You could at least have implied that he was working for Lightspeed since in the show it is a government defense organization, but I do agree that Lightspeed Rescue was probably one of the least thought seasons of Power Rangers to use for crossovers since that season was more down to Earth even if it involved demons, although Turbo up until the end was probably the most down to Earth of all the seasons, In Space and Lost Galaxy work better because they involve space travel and deal with setient beings on other planets and are not Earth based which gives them a better shot at being pulled into in Equestria. :trixieshiftleft: (Sorry for rant)

Haha you're not telling me things I don't already know. You're right it WOULD make more sense for IS or LG, but I chose this one because it presented some unique opertunities. I promise that The Lightspeed Rescue Organization will be introduced next chapter, just not in the way people are expecteding

reaction: betrayal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flutterrage:

So will Phoenix be the only ranger or will he have teammates. Cause if he's going alone he might need to something to make up for it. :eeyup:

I don't want to spoil to much, but there will be other Rangers in the Future. However, for the first couple of chapters, Phoenix will be "Alone" somewhat.

2017081 Does that mean he won't get any zords or will there be some sort of system that allows him to control all of them. Otherwise the only zord he'll likely be able to pilot is the Max Solarzord and that's a big if since it's really more of a minizord than a full fledged megazord.

looking forward to the next chapter. So awesome!:rainbowkiss:

912159 Ah yes. It was a good story.

Too bad it's been so long since the last update that ti's probably dead.

2016064
I agreed man they need others U can't fight evil alone
