"You're retiring?!", a winged violet unicorn with a magenta hairline named Twilight Sparkle asked in shock.
"Princesses can retire?", a purple dragon with green hair named Spike asked.
Two reagal ponies, one white and one navy chucked. "Of course we can." The navy one named Princess Luna replied. "I for one am looking forward to a little R&R. Maybe a trip to Silver Shoals."
"And you want me to take your place?!" Twilight asked.
"Mmmm-hmmmm." They both nodded. "With the help of your friends, of course!"
The white princess with a flowing sea-like mane named Celestia spoke up. "We can't think of anypony more worthy. Over the years, we've watched you grow. You've faced task after task..."
"...challenge after challenge...", Luna added.
"Countless adversities, yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it...", a kitbashed animal named Discord said, bored.
"And you've always prevailed.", Celestia finished.
"Thank you, but that doesn't mean that I'm— that we're ready to do what you do!" Twilight pleaded.
"Oh, of course you are. I realize this is a lot to take in, but—" Celestia got cut off.
"Nope! Makes perfect sense. We're awesome!" a rainbow maned pegasus better known as Rainbow Dash interrupted. She gasped in glee. "Does this mean we get all your powers?! Ooh, ooh! I call dibs on showing up in everypony's dreams!"
" You can't be ready to step into their horseshoes just like that!" Twilight tried to object.
"Well, if the princesses think it's time to retire, we're not a bad choice." An orange Earth Pony named Applejack replied. "We always have Equestria's best interests at heart."
" I'm in! Darlings, we'll all need a complete wardrobe update! And I would love to pick your brain about mane maintenance when you have a moment." A white unicorn with a purple mane named Rarity agreed.
" As long as we all have each other, I'm sure we can do it!" a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane named Fluttershy agreed as well.
"Yay!" A Pink earth pony with a really bubbly pink mane named Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Protectors of Equestria" on three! One... two..." The 5 ponies put their hooves in.
Twilight sighed. "If you're all on board, I guess I am, too." She put her hoof in.
"Protectors of Equestria!" they all shouted. They were ready to have the princesses powers.
" It'll be a bit of an adjustment, but I imagine the transfer of power will be a lengthy process, which will—"
"Actually, we just need a few days to put together a little ceremony." The sun princess informed her.
Twilight was now on full panic attack. "A few days?! But that's so soon! Shouldn't there be some sort of training program that lasts weeks? No, months? If not years?!"
"Everything you've gone through over the years has been a training program." Celestia calmly told her. "We have the utmost confidence in you."
"The friendship journal you wrote yourselves is a better guide than any we could provide." Luna chimed in. "And we hope you have the same in yourself."
Twilight was almost about to blow a blood vessel, while her friends tried to calm her down.
"Oh, I'm absolutely certain she does." Discord sarcastically said.
Twilight, however, was not feeling confident about this at all!
(Meanwhile...in another world...)
In the cyber dimension, where the world was a desolate, red wasteland, a robot was typing stuff on his cyber-computer.
"Ugh!" The robot spoke in frustration. "I can't believe this! Blaze and Roxy were SUPPOSED to go out and find more Morph-X for the gigadrone creator and they STILL haven't returned?!" He was a little peeved this was taking so long. "I don't know WHY you even added them to your army!"
"SILENCE!" a giant snakelike avatar commanded him. "Those two were the only distraction we had! And now, with them out of the way--" Suddenly, two human avatars ran up to the virtual snake.
"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?!" he demanded. "I THOUGHT I WANTED YOU TWO OUT OF THE WAY! I'M TRYING TO EXACT MY REVENGE ON THE POWER RANGERS!"
The avatar in a red suit spoke up. "Master Evox," he said. "Roxy and I found a way how you can go into the ranger's world and steal their energy." His name was Blaze.
"I SAID GET OUT!" Evox shouted.
"Oh, but it's a good one", the avatar in a yellow suit explained, but was cut off by Evox.
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR PETTY EXCUSES!"
"Hmmm...fascinating" the robot said at first. "I'm listening." Evox just seethed in anger.
"How about we sneak into the real world and blend in with the crowd?" Roxy jokingly suggested.
"Hmmmmm...." Evox thought.
"Ok. Scratch that." Blaze said. "How about we go to a different dimension, and find some NEW aliens and make them think that the rangers are their sworn ememies?"
"THAT'S RIDICULOUS!" The snake scoffed. "You failed me enough! I'll send you into space for all eternity!"
"No...I like it." The robot named Scrozzle agreed with the two avatars. "It's clean and simple to the point. Let's go with it!"
"What?!" The two avatars were excited about this plan. "This had better work" Evox demanded.
"Oh, no problem!" Roxy informed him. "Take a look!"
Evox took a good look at the pictures she shown him. One of them was a bug like pony, one a blue goat, a red minotaur, a little kid pony, and a black smoky pony like spirit. The snake decided it was time to execute the plan they had in store for them.
(Meanwhile...)
In the Everfree Forest, a bug like pony was trying to create wood like carvings of her once former troupe and tried to destroy them.
"One day, you'll see!", the bug pony known as Queen Chrysalis vowed. "I will defeat Twilight Sparkle and her friends! And that Starlight Glimmer too!" She cackled with glee. "And they will pay for stealing my kingdom!" But before she was about to come up with a plan, she vanished.
(Meanwhile...)
Deep inside the gates of Tartarus, a red minotaur was bored in his caged prision.
"Psst, Tirek!" a voice said.
"It is Lord Tirek. And what is it now?" The Minotaur asked.
"I just wanna make sure you can see my best friends rock sculpture from over there!" a peach colored young filly with a blue mane named Cozy Glow gleefully replied.
Tirek groaned, but before he could react, he and Cozy vanished and her stature fell to bits.
(In the cyber dimension...)
Blaze and Roxy were executing their plan. Their plan was set, now they just had to wait.
"This waiting is getting old." Blaze objected.
"Chill." Roxy said. "We have to time this right. Oh, and here they come now." She said in excitement.
They went over the smoke appearing before them, and that's when Tirek showed up. "Lord Tirek!" Chrysalis asked in shock.
"A changeling?" Tirek replied. "See? She gets it" he told Cozy Glow.
"Chrysalis, queen of the changelings!" Roxy welcomed.
"Why did you summon me?" Chrysalis wanted to know. "What do you want?!"
"Oh, golly! We didn't bring you!" Cozy pleaded. "I thought you freed us from Tartarus!"
"Tartarus? Whoever pulled you from there must have been somepony very powerful indeed." Chrysalis said.
Just then, a smoky pony spirit appeared, clad in armor and he was laughing.
"King Sombra! You have returned? Why did you bring us here?" Chrysalis demanded.
"He didn't." Blaze told her.
"That's right", a demonic voice said. "I Did."
The villains that were just brought her were shocked. "Is that--?"
"Yes, it is me!" Evox appeared before the villains, making them cower in fear, except Chrysalis. "I'm pretty sure you're wondering why I called you all here! Prepare for battle! The enemies are planning their next fight!"
"Will do..." Chrysalis said while getting ready. She smiled at him. "Master Evox."
