//------------------------------// // Episode 16: Dome Sweet Dome // Story: POWER RANGERS STARFLEET (Starfleet Humans:) // by DakariKingMykan //------------------------------// EPISODE SIXTEEN This was the day, this was really it. Celestia had finally gone into labor. She was rushed to the hospital immediately where she gave birth to two beautiful, healthy babies. That day, long after school, the rangers, Lightning, Principal Cadance, Vice Principal Luna, and even Shining Armor had come to the hospital to see the new babies. Spike and Krysta had to stay hidden in Twilight’s knapsack as the hospital usually didn’t allow pets inside. Even Dr. Penny didn’t know they were present as she escorted the gang to Celestia’s room. “Now remember, don’t stay too long. She needs her rest.” Penny told everyone. She also made them promised not to get all hyperactive and overly-excited… to which they all agreed. They all arrived in Celestia’s room. Celestia, looking a bit pale and much flatter with her stomach no longer so swollen, lay in her bed, wearing her nightgown and in her arms she held a cute little baby boy wrapped in a blue blanket and wearing a little white tuque. Celesto sat next to her bed in a chair, holding a beautiful baby girl wrapped in a white blanket and wearing a yellow hat. “Aw!” the girls cooed upon seeing the babies, and the boys grinned widely. “Meet our son… Castor.” Celestia said as she held up her son. “And… our daughter… Leilani.” Celesto added as he held up the other baby. “Oh, they’re beautiful.” Luna gushed as her niece and nephew looked up at her. “Absolutely adorable…!” Cadance added. Everyone took turns looking at the babies. Luna and Cadance even got chances to hold them for a few moments. “So petite, and yet so sweet.” cooed Rhymey. Buddyplaced a bunch of flowers he had brought for Celestia near a big pile of flowers and “Best Wishes” cards from other friends and co-workers already. “I see I’m not the only one.” he joked. “We also got you these…” Shining Armor said holding up a small package of diapers. “We figured you may need them.” Everyone couldn’t help but laugh, but it was still a nice gesture. “What’s going on out there…?” Spike called from Twilight’s back. “Yeah, we wanna see!” Krysta called. “Shh… keep it down, you two!” Twilight whispered “I’ll open up the zip, but you’ve got to stay down.” She opened the zip of her knapsack just enough for the pets to see the babies, and despite their limited view they thought they were the cutest little things they ever saw… apart from themselves. Lightning passed Leilani back to Celesto. “I’ve never seen you this happy. I’ve never seen anyone this happy before.” “To be honest… I’ve never felt this happy either.” Celesto said, and he gazed at his wife with love, “Except at our wedding.” Celestia agreed and she felt very content with the children in her life now and didn’t feel she could ask for another wonderful thing… except maybe one thing, the very same that everyone was feeling…! That their friends would awake form their comas soon, but alas. The whole thing was still the same. The friends were still laying in their bed in their ward a few halls down, still in their deep, deep sleep, nothing to do but wait until they woke. Still, everyone knew this was a time for joy, not sadness. Soon, Dr. Penny returned to inform the visitors they had to leave, and that included Celesto. The babies needed to be returned to the maternity ward to rest and Celestia needed rest as well. “Can’t we just hold them a little longer?” Celestia asked. “I’m afraid not…” replied Penny “I’ve already given you more than enough time. Trust me, you need your rest.” “We should probably go anyway.” said Cadance, and she gazed at the students, “Some people still have school tomorrow.” “Thanks for that reminder.” grumbled Rainbow. “Bye-Bye, babies…” Fluttershy cooed. “Congrats, to you both.” said Sunset to the proud parents. Celestia and Celesto smiled proudly, and then the gang left, but Celesto himself also had to leave. He tenderly kissed his wife. “I love you so much.” “I love you too.” They were lost in each other’s eyes, both of them thinking the same thing; wanting to be good parents, and be there for one another as best they could. “Ahem!” Dr. Penny said, and gave Celesto a thumb towards the door. With that, he had no choice but to leave. (Que Intro) The next day… Marla was viewing images of Mystic Island on the monitors. She saw all the many people going about their lives; friends walking to school, friendly people at work, and even happy families out of with their very young children. “Ugh’ll it makes me sick!” Marla groaned. Bronc was not impressed with her supposed slacking and rude turned the monitors off. “Hey!” “Shouldn’t you be helping us come up with an idea to beat the rangers?” Bronc sneered. “For your information, I was doing research.” protested Marla. “Ha! I’m sure you were!” scoffed Bronc. Marla angrily bolted up right, “Well I was, and it just so happens I’ve already got a plan!” She stormed off for the prison floors, “And I know just the monster to help me do it.” Bronc followed her to the monster cell, and Keto was already there and he opened the cell releasing a creature with a huge spherical dome-like head, and he wore what seemed like a green private soldier’s outfit. Atop his head was a blue dome shaped crystal… the very source of his special power. “Kazam! Domer Style reportin’ fer duty, but y’all can call me just Domer.” Keto and Bronc were hardly amused and even snickered. “This Dome-Face is your plan?” Keto chuckled “What’s he going to do, make the rangers laugh silly?” “Humph!” grunted Marla, “Show them!” Domer nodded and the dome gem on his head began to glow. Almost instantly then, a large dome had appeared entrapped the boys. “Hey! Let us out of here!” shouted Bronc. He and Keto pounded on the glass, only to be shocked by powerful energy. “Uh-Uh-Uhn… y’all mustn’t touch.” Domer teased “My domes ain’t no ordinary domes, and one yer in, you don’t come out without my say so.” Marla giggled at how silly her comrades looked, trapped in the dome. “Marla!” Vulcan called from behind. She turned sharply and quivered, “M-M-Master… I…” Vulcan grinned and said, “I like your idea. It reminds me of a business saying; sometimes you have to force your opponents’ hands.” Marla smirked and thanked him for the remark, “Trust me, Master; the rangers are as good as dome-bait.” The three of them all walked off leaving Bronc and Keto still trapped. “Hey, wait!” cried Keto “Don’t leave us here!” Bronc growled angrily “I’ll get you for this, Marla!” and he pounded the dome again, only to be thrown back by the jolts once more. At school, all that day the rangers could only seem to think about the new babies, and how Celestia and Celesto’s lives would be changed. “Imagine how they must be…” Rainbow teased “Waking up in the middle of the night, changing diapers, listening to all that crying non-stop.” “Rainbow, they haven’t even brought them home yet.” Sunset reminded her. “Celestia won’t be discharged for another day or two.” Fluttershy sighed heavenly, “I still think it’s wonderful they have the kids now. I think it’s the most wonderful thing that can happen to a couple.” Rhymey agreed… “The pitter-patter of feet so small, Watching them grow up and learn to crawl, Then to be heard their very first word. Children can really be most wondrous of all.” The way the two of them were acting so bashful and happy, Buddy couldn’t help but tease, “Don’t you two think you ought to get married first before you have kids?” Fluttershy and Rhymey nodded in a daze, but suddenly realized what they just said and snapped back into reality. Both of them felt really embarrassed and turned away from each other. The others couldn’t help but giggle at how cute and funny they seemed. …Of course deep down, Rhymey and Fluttershy still thought it a neat idea. “I wonder what Grandruler’s thinking about it right now?” Sunset wondered. Indeed, all day long, all Celesto could think about were his children making it extremely hard to concentrate at business meetings, talking on the phone with associates from overseas, and every few minutes or so he would think of calling the hospital to check on his wife and babies, but he was already told they were just fine at the start of the day when he first called in, and he had much faith in the hospital staff. He felt most relieved when he finally got a break and decided to head straight to the hospital to visit his children and his wife. Along the way, he sat cozily in the back seat of his limo looking at the pictures taken with his phone. Suddenly, the driver slammed hard on the breaks screeching the limo to a halt. “What is it?” Celesto asked rather sternly. “There’s a strange obstruction up ahead, Sir.” replied the driver. Celesto looked on ahead and saw a large dome-like object right in the middle of the intersection, with many cars trapped inside it. Suddenly there appeared another dome on the sidewalks trapping the people inside. Then more domes appeared trapping more people inside. Celesto and his driver jumped out of the limo, and Celesto began to have a nasty feeling of what was causing this. That’s when a dome appeared and trapped himself, his driver and all the traffic near them inside, and Domer walked casually in the streets “Kazam! Perfect catches for Domer Style!” he cackled “Now y’all be behavin’ yerselves, or so help me, I can get pretty nasty!” “I’ve got to warn the rangers!” Celesto said to himself, but he suddenly found that his cell-phone had no signal, and his emergency communicator with the rangers was blocked out. His driver picked up a rock, and threw it against the walls of the dome where it got vaporized by the electrical field. “I believe we are truly trapped, sir.” “Gee... what was your first clue?” Celesto mumbled to himself. Meanwhile, Celestia had just woken up from another nap and was reading some of her favorite magazines in bed. She wanted to see the babies again, but was informed that they were sleeping in the maternity ward, and best not to be awakened. Her husband had also not arrived yet either like he promised he would. “Ugh! I’ve never been so bored in my life!” she grumbled as she put down her magazine, and flicked on the TV to the horse-racing network, which brought on a lot of good memories of her glory days as a champion horse jumper. Suddenly, the show changed to an emergency news broadcast, showing the many strange domes that had appeared throughout the city. “Citizens and their vehicles are reported trapped within these domes.” the reporter said “Any and all attempts to free the citizens have been fruitless as the domes seem to be charged with some wild electrical force.” The camera then focused in on one of the domes, and Celestia could see right through it-- her heart skipped a beat-- “Celesto…!” she cried. Then things got worse as she saw Domer appear on TV as well and that he was the cause of the domes as he made more appear and trapped more innocent citizens. With her husband trapped and the city in danger, “I must contact the rangers!” Celestia said, but she immediately realized she didn’t have her cell-phone, as it was the hospital rule-- No Cell-Phones allowed. Luckily, she had an alternate plan, and buzzed for the nurse. “Yes, can I help you?” the lady asked. Celestia slyly made up a small story to hide that she was involved with the Power Rangers. “Could you please make a phone call to Canterlot High? Ask for Vice Principal Luna and inform her: “Project Color Kids Is Needed Now?” The nurse seemed baffled, “I don’t think I understand…” “Please, just tell her that. She’ll understand.” “Yes, Ma’am…” Celestia hoped the rangers would receive the message soon! “Celesto…!” Vice Principal Luna received her sister’s message, and deciphered what was really needed. “What’s happening?” asked Principal Cadance. “Trouble…!” her aunt replied “We must get the rangers here at once, but we must not let any other students know of our connections.” Luckily, the bell rang for a class change, and the ladies saw this as their chance. They ran from the office, and rounded up the rangers and Twilight from different corners of the school and brought them back to the main office. They had to make things quick before the period ended, since Twilight didn’t have the same privilege as the rangers to cut class. The ladies explained what they had learned from Celestia’s message, about the electrified-domes, and how Celesto along with a good number of citizens were trapped. “That’s how it is…” said Luna “Celestia told me as much herself.” “Oh, all those poor people!” cried Fluttershy, “And especially Mr. Grandruler. What if he gets hurt? Think of the babies!” The rangers agreed that they had to rush into action. Twilight did some calculations on her laptop regarding the domes from their alien signals. “They seem to be a combination of electrical and heat based energies, the nearest I can figure is… maybe… just maybe the domes can be overloaded if you get caught.” “Well, that’s good to know.” said Sunset. “Let’s go, guys.” The others agreed and prepared to leave, “Wait a minute…!” said Rainbow, halting everyone, “What about Lighting? Shouldn’t he come with us?” Cadance just got off the phone with Shining Armor at Crystal Prep Academy, “It’s no good, Lightning’s teaching his History Class, he can’t just up and leave like that, but he promised to try to get him to answer as soon as he could.” Spike found that ridiculous, “Teaching a class is more important than saving the city? That is super Ridick!” he grumbled, but Cadance reminded him, “Spike, the students at CPA don’t know Lightning is the Comet Ranger. In fact, no one outside our group knows. If people find out that could lead to trouble and inconvenience from unwanted attention.” The rangers all agreed and realized it was for the best, at least until they could figure out something else. “Come on, let’s go!” said Sunset, and she and the rangers dashed out. The bell rang too meaning it was time for class. “Whoa! I’m going to be late!” cried Twilight and she rushed off nearly forgetting her book-bag. Meanwhile, there were domes all over the place and so many people were trapped inside and trying fruitlessly to free themselves, but the electrical force-fields around the domes were too strong. Celesto was starting to get edgy, worrying about his wife and kids at the hospital, but just as worried for the city as well. Domer was also growing impatient “Dagnabit, where’re them rangers? Consarnit, ya want someone’s attention and even a big scam don’t get ‘em goin’.” “Don’t wait any longer!” Sunset shouted as she and the rangers, morphed, came into view. Celesto was most relieved to see they had arrived, as were many others. “Well, golly gee… y’all showed up after all.” said Domer. The rangers prepared to rush forth, but Domer stopped them, “I wouldn’t be going there… if I was you, Lessin’ you wanna be hurtin’ these city-folk of yers.” Before anyone could question him, his gem dome atop his head glowed again, and all the domes magically began to constrict a few inches. Some of the people inside were forced to back away from the closing walls. “The domes, they’re getting smaller!” cried Buddy. “That’s right…” teased Domer, “And they’re gonna keep on doin’ that unless your surrender. If ya don’t… well, y’all get the idea.” He laughed wickedly as the domes continued to inch smaller and smaller. The people inside began to panic and cry out to the rangers to help them. “We’ve got to try to get them out of there!” cried Fluttershy. “But how… There are domes everywhere.” rhymed Rhymey. “And here’s another…!” shouted Domer as he launched another dome, trapping the rangers inside. “Careful, don’t touch the walls.” said Sunset. Domer didn’t make their dome shrink and was merely using it as a method to force them to watch the citizens suffer unless they agreed to surrender. “Clock’s a-ticking, rangers. Either you surrender, or them folks will be squashed like grapes in a grinder. Either way, I win, you lose.” He laughed again, which greatly annoyed the rangers, but the other domes were growing smaller every second… inch-by-inch. Suddenly, the rangers noticed on Domer’s head. “That gem, I think that’s what’s powering up the domes.” said Buddy. “Yeah, but first we have to break out of here.” Rainbow pointed out. Remembering what Twilight had calculated on her computer, Sunset suggested, “Get your weapons out, we’ll try and blast out way out of here.” Everyone agreed and got their weapons out, setting them on low power to start. “Ready? Fire…!” All the weapons fired powerful energy blasts together, striking the wall of the dome. The electrical energy however was still too strong for the power to break through. “Set it higher.” said Sunset. The rangers recharged their weapons and fired again. Still nothing…! They recharged and fired one last time, and finally the dome shattered. “Alright!” cried Buddy. “That did it!” added Rainbow, and the slapped each other a high-five, but joy was short-lived as another dome appeared around the rangers. “Sorry, slickers, y’all don’t all don’t get it that easy.” Domer teased them “Break just one of my domes, and I’ll just lock ya in another. Kazam!” The rangers knew they were in trouble now, having not expected this. All the other domes continued to shrink down, and time was running short for the people inside. Meanwhile, Lightning was just wrapping up his class. “Please read chapters one through five for tomorrow, you will be tested on the subjects.” The bell rang. “Class Dismissed.” The students all filed out, some even dropped off their completed assignments at the teacher’s desk. Once the class room was completely emptied, Shining Armor came in to take over Lightning’s next class. “You better get going…” he said. Lightning nodded, and he quickly dashed out the door and left the building, stepping round behind the school where no one would see him. He took his morpher badge out from his jacket pocket and clipped it onto to the front of his shirt. “Psst… Lightning…!” Krysta chirped. Lightning looked up and saw heard perched in the tree and he asked where the rangers were. “I’ll lead you there.” Lightning nodded and readied himself, “It’s Morhpin’ time!” “Morphing Sequence… Ready!” “Cosmic Comet… Power On!” His morphing scene was naturally different from the others; He would back flip onto a small comet and surf through a meteor shower. Another comet would crash into him donning his suit, and then a small one would hit his face, donning his helmet. One morphed, he felt along the wall or the secret alcove for the jump-tube, and found it. “Well, here goes something.” he said as he jumped in. Krysta then flew off. Meanwhile, the domes were growing smaller still. All the people trapped within the domes had to huddle together to keep away from the walls, and some even crawled back into their cars and the busses, but the space inside was running out every second as the domes continued to shrink. Celesto was growing deeply concerned as he looked through the window of his limo. “Come on, Rangers… I know you can do this!” Domer snickered wickedly “Whether or not them rangers surrender, I win regardless. They stay trapped, and I destroy their city-folk… and then the city.” “We have to try and break out of here again.” said Sunset. “But he’ll just trap us in anyway.” Fluttershy said. “Maybe not this time…” Sunset said, and she whispered her idea to the others. “Hey, it just may work.” said Buddy. “What are we waiting for? Let’s give it our all and more.” said Rhymey. Instead of all huddling together in one place, each ranger stood at a different area making five points around the dome and charged up their weapons again. “Fire!” shouted Sunset, and the weapons blasted at the dome, shattering it again. “Dagnab… they never learn.” sneered Domer, he was about to conjure another dome. “Now!” shouted Sunset and she and the rangers all scattered about in different directions just as the dome formed, so none of them got trapped inside. “Oh, yeah!” shouted Domer “If’n you’re all thinking ya can all get away, ya got another thing comin’.” “Maybe not…!” Lightning shouted, and he came leaping in and kicked Domer hard sending him rolling along the ground. “It’s Lightning…!” cried Rainbow. “Sorry, I’m late… class and all.” Domer angrily got up, “Looks like I’m’a needin’ me some back up! Lingos…!” A swarm of Lingos appeared. “Let’s take ‘em out!” shouted Sunset “But watch out for Domer. Don’t let him catch you.” The rangers agreed and rushed into action, punching, kicking and blasting through the many Lingos that came at them. Lightning sure got a kick out of his first ever battle as a true ranger. “Excuse me… Pardon me…” he joked as he punched, kicked and tripped up every Lingo in his way. “Man, I’m liking this.” More Lingos came at him. “I think it’s time for a little comet power.” Lightning said, and pressed on his morpher which triggered off his special attack, “Comet Gauntlets… Engage!” His gloves glowed brightly, “Comet Trail… Fire!” and he unleashed his power on the swarm, blowing them all to ashes. More Lingos huddled around Sunset, and she found herself surrounded and finding it hard to fight them all off herself, The other rangers saw her and rushed over to help. “Take this…!” shouted Domer, and he trapped the four of them within another dome. “Oh, …no!” cried Rhymey. “Not again!” added Buddy “Our weapons don’t have much power left. We can’t risk using any more.” “What do we do now?” asked Rainbow. “Oh, no… guys!” Sunset called, but she still couldn’t’ help them with the Lingos still in her way. Domer laughed at her, “Too bad little red, now it’s yer turn to join us in the dome-house.” He was about to trap her when… “Oh, no you don’t! …Comet Trail, Fire!” Lightning unleashed another blast from his gloves, blowing Domer down to the ground again. “Mama… talk about yer hotspots!” Lightning then fired another shot at the dome, freeing the rangers. “Alright, Lightning!” Rainbow called. “Thanks a bundle, man!” added Buddy. Lightning nodded and then leapt over to help Sunset, knocking the Lingos away from her “Okay, you punks… get ready!” he shouted as he leapt at the swarm. Sunset knocked the last Lingo off of her and her friends dashed over. “Are you alright?” asked Fluttershy. “I’m fine…” she said, “Lightning come on…” she called to him, but Lightning turned and called back “…I’ll cover you!” The others agreed and left him to beat off the last of the Lingos. Domer got up from the street and brushed himself off, “Alright… I guess we do this the old fashioned way!” The rangers all rushed him trying to attack him, but while he didn’t look like it, he was pretty slick and sly as he swerved and dodged every attack and hit the rangers with huge punches. “Let’s put our heads together, now…” he joked as he gave sunset a huge bashed of his head and sent her rolling along. As she got up, she heard the trapped people screaming for help, and she saw the domes were nearly small enough to start crushing them. Domer laughed at the screaming civilians, “Look at it this way, girl…” he said to Sunset “At least your de-mise will be quick and easy.” He was ready to strike her down, when Fluttershy leapt in and blocked him with her shield, and then repelled him off hard. “Leave my friend alone!” she shouted at the monster. “Why you little…!” Domer was about to attack, when Buddy and Rhymey leapt in and began to attack with their weapons, each striking him hard and making Sparks fly. “Go… Rainbow!” shouted Rhymey. Domer turned and saw Rainbow aim her cannon straight at him, “Say Cheese!” she teased and fired a huge blast, hitting Domer hard and breaking the dome gem on his head. “No! My dome controller…!” With his gem cracked and sparking, all the domes lost their power and just shattered, vanished, into bits and freeing all the people. The crowds cheered for joy at their freedom, and Celesto felt extremely relieved that he almost hugged his driver, but stopped himself and the two men exchanged a simple handshake instead. Lightning then pounded the last Lingo and sent it away, vaporized to dust, “So much for those guys.” As for the other rangers, they all stood together. “Let’s do it…” said Sunset “Star-Slammer, now!” “Weapons Combine!” “Star-Slammer… Ready!” “Huh? Uh-Oh!” cried Domer. “STAR-SLAMMER… ULTRA-STRIKE!” The Star Slammer was flung, and slammed over Domer. His body began to flare up… but just as he was about to explode… Marla shouted for Keto, “Do your thing!” Although Keto, now free but still rather peeved from being trapped under the dome, he only complied if it meant to serve Vulcan. “FORTISSIMO!!” The mugic was launched and reached Mystic Island, and Domer grew to tremendous size. “Kazam! Domer Style’s been promoted!” The rangers all winced in shock, and Sunset activated her morpher, “Star Jets… Combine!” The jets were already on the scene and combining! “Jet Star Megazord… Ready!” Once the rangers beamed inside, Lightning saw his chance and activated his own morpher, “Gigantify… Go!” “Giant Mode… Ready!” With that, Lightning grew into a giant. “Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!” The megazord looked at Lightning and held up its fist like a salute. Domer pounded on his head at his broken dome gem, and despite the damages, he actually managed to get a little power going. “YE-HAW… now we’re cookin’. Time to go Dome!” With that, a large dome appeared around Lightning and the Megazord. “Ah, he’s got us trapped again!” cried Sunset. Then it got worse as Domer warned them, “This here ain’t no ordinary dome. I only use this for special O-cassions.” And he demonstrated by controlling the electrical field, and the rangers were pelted by bolts of lightning that shot from the walls. “Whoa!” Lightning shouted as he was hit and fell over. The the megazord got hit several times. Sparks and explosion flew all over as the rangers were rocked about in their cockpit, and the megazord toppled over. Domer leapt with glee outside the dome, “Face it, y’all are finished like Fish in a dry barrel!” “We’re not through yet!” shouted Sunset, “Ready, Lightning…?” Lightning nodded at the megazord, “You bet!” and he stood upright and pressed his morpher, “Comet Striker, Armor Up!” “Summon Armor!” “Comet Striker… Ready!” Once Lightning was all armored up, he and the rangers scouted out for the nearest weak point in the dome. “There it is…” cried Buddy Rose “If we both hit it together, it may just shatter the dome.” “Yeah, but what about the force-field?” asked Fluttershy, “It could damage us.” “It’s a risk we’ll have to take.” said Rainbow. The two Megazords stood side-by-side, “Ready when you guys are.” Lightning said. The megazord raised its fist, signaling to go for it, and the two zords thrust their fists hard against the walls of the dome. As expected, the electrical field shocked them both hard making more sparks fly… However, the dome actually began to crack, much to Domer’s horror, and the dome finally shattered and was gone. “Alright, we did it!” cried Rainbow. “Some much for that, Now let’s finish this rat!” said Rhymey. “Right… Time to Shine!” declared Sunset. Domer tried fruitlessly to restart his dome gem, but it was all out of power from the damage and constant overuse. “Drat it! I’ll use my fists instead!” Unfortunately for Domer, he wasn’t much good a fighter. The two zords lunged fort her and pounded him silly. The megazord punched him to Lightning whom kicked him off. Then both zords punched him at the same time and knocked him up the street. “Mama warned me there’d be days like this!” cried Domer. Then he watched as both zords drew out their weapons for the final attack. “Star Slash… Go!” shouted Sunset, and the Megazord slash at Domer hard. “My turn…!” said Lightning. His blades glowed brightly, “Super Space Strike!” and he trush his blades hard into Domer. “I’M ABOUT TO GO KAZAM!!” Domer roared, and he exploded and was imprisoned, and then beamed into the Megazord’s cockpit. The five rangers rejoiced. “Yeah, we did it!” cried Lighting. All the people below whom had seen the battle cheered and jumped for joy, while Celesto starred up proudly at the two zords. All together the six rangers declared, “MONSTER CAPTURED! MISSION COMPLETE!” At the tower, Marla was whining and throwing such a tantrum over her loss. “No! It isn’t possible! How could the rangers have beaten him…?!” She turned and thundered at Keto, “Maybe if your mugics worked better…!” then she balked at Bronc “Or if you did more than just stand around all the time…!” The boys ultimately were fed up with her yelling, and Bronc slapped a small dome lid covered in glue over her mouth, silencing her. Keto chuckled, “Good one!” Bronc snickered, and even Vulcan couldn’t help but find it amusing, despite the failure. “It really suits her well.” he joked. Marla was far from amused! With the monster captured, and the people all freed. The rangers joined Celesto in his trip to the hospital to visit Celestia and the babies. Twilight soon joined them, as school was already out for the day… meaning the rangers would have lots of homework to catch up on. Celestia held both the babies in her arms, and they cooed happily. “Thank you all so much for saving my husband.” she said to the rangers. Celesto nodded thankfully to the team, “The entire city is as grateful as I am for what you did today.” The rangers all nodded respectfully, but really they didn’t even want to begin think how close they came to failing. “I just couldn’t stop thinking how the babies would handle it if they lost their father.” said Fluttershy. “Fluttershy, that’s so sweet of you.” Celesto said. Fluttershy blushed, but all anyone really wanted to after which was just gaze down at the babies, and Spike and Krysta peeked in from Twilight’s knapsack.
