Episode 2: Machine Mayhem

Nightmare Moon was furious! "You fool!", she bellowed at Garble. "Did you really think you could beat them once they morphed?!" Garble was cowering.

"Please! Give me another chance to destroy the rangers! I won't fail you again! I promise swift and terrible vengeance!", Garble pleaded.

"You will have your chance Garble. But not today. I'll be sending in a different warrior to do my bidding." Nightmare used her magic to open a portal to the monster world. "I call upon Ancient Gear Golem!" A towering machine came through the portal and looked down upon Nightmare Moon.

"So what do I get to smash?", Gear Golem asked.

"I want you to attack Canterlot to draw out the rangers. Once they appear, you are to destroy them! And take a few of my shadowbolts with you."

"At once mistress." Gear Golem then teleported to earth with a squad of shadowbolts. "Let's wreak some havoc!" Meanwhile Burst and the others were in class when their morphers beeped! Burst and the others met up in the hallways to see what was going on.

"What's up Gold?", Burst asked.

"Ancient Gear Golem is tearing up the city! You guys have to get there and stop him!"

"On our way! Let's go guys!" Burst and the others were teleported to where Ancient Gear Golem was attacking! "Hey bolt brain! Didn't your motherboard ever teach you not to mess with people's stuff?"

"So you must be the rangers. Targets identified. Attack!" At Golem's command, the shadowbolts advanced on the rangers!

"It's morphin' time!", Burst called out as he and the guys morphed into their ranger forms! They engaged the shadowbolts head on! "These guys aren't so tough, but they're packing in numbers!", Burst said as he took down a couple of shadowbolts only for a few more to take their place!

"Just means there's more to use as training dummies!", Inferno said as he summoned his sword and started tearing through his own wave of enemies! Once they were defeated, they exploded in a burst of darkness! "They aren't very durable either!" Steel had just dispatched his own set of shadowbolts with his sword and shield, while Ace and Shadow were cleaning out the remaining stragglers. Shadow wiped out the last of them with a spin attack from his spear!

"Let's send Golem to the scrapheap!", Shadow said as he charged at Ancient Gear Golem! But Gear Golem blocked his strike and sent him flying with one punch!

"Shadow!", Ace cried as he went to check on his brother.

"nnngh! That guy can throw a mean punch! Don't get too close to him!"

"Then let's take him down from long range! You with me Inferno?!", Burst aksed.

"Always buddy! Let's do it!" The two charged at Gear Golem and let loose a flurry of blaster shots! When they got closer they used their suits' wings to fly over Gole and attack his back with their swords! The two then charged a shot from their blasters and fired! Gear Golem was left in pieces! And that didn't sit well with Nightmare.

"The battle is far from over rangers! Megamorph! Make Ancient Gear Golem grow!" Soon a seal appeared where Anceint Gear Golem once stood! Ancient Gear Golem was restored and grew taller than the buidlings!

"Now you're the ones who'll be scrapped!", he boomed as he began his assault on the city anew!

"Oh man! Nothing in our arsenal can take him down at that size!" Burst then received a communication on his morpher. "Pegasus? What is it?"

"A little something to even the odds! Call upon your zords! Each zord is respective of your ranger form!"

"Right! Blue Eyes White Dragon Zord!"

"Red Eyes Black Dragon Zord!"

"Black Luster Soldier Zord!"

"Timaeus Zord!"

"Dragluon Zord!" The rangers called their zords and jumped into them!

"All right guys! Let's see what these zords can do!" The rangers engaged Ancient Gear Golem alone, but none of them alone could seem to do any significant damage! "We're getting nowhere with this!" Soon an alert came up on Burst's display! "Huh? Megazord mode?" Burst smiled as he looked over the data. "Guys, do you read me? We have to combine our zords!"

"We're with you Burst!", the others said.

"Alright! Megazord mode!" The zords leaped into the air and combined! Ace and Shadow's zords formed the legs while Inferno and Steel's zords formed the arms! Burst's zord formed the main body and head!! "Duel Megazord online!"

"So that's your shiny new toy. Let's see how bad I can break it!", Gear Golem roared as he charged at the Megazord! But the Megazord caught his fist, and unleashed a powerful uppercut!

"You're the one headed for the junkyard!", Inferno boasted. The Megazord then traded blows with Gear Golem! With a mighty kick, Ancient Gear Golem was knocked down to his last legs! "Hey guys! We're getting more data! Megazord Saber? Sweet! Burst, you wanna do the honors?"

"You know it! Summon Megazord Saber!" A gigantic sword came down from the sky and landed in the Megazord's hand! "Let's end this! Final Strike!" The saber was charged with energy, and with a mighty slash Ancient Gear Golem exploded! "Gear Golem's in the scrapheap!"

"Well done rangers! Warp to this location while the zords return to their lairs to recharge." Burst and the others jumped out of the zords and warped to the location Pegasus had sent them. "Whoa! What is this place?"

"Welcome to the command center.", Gold announced proudly. "It serves as our base of operations. Plus it's a pretty sweet hang-out."

"Nice!", Ace said. "Now we're officially super heroes!" The heroes shared a laugh before teleporting back to school. Meanwhile, Nightmare was gazing through her crystal ball that displayed the battle. Specifically, she focused on the rangers' civilian forms. She took an extra while to look at Burst.

"Hmm. Perhaps I should pay him a visit.", Nightmare said to herself with a sly smile. "Sweet dreams Burst."
