//------------------------------// // Chapter One // Story: Go,Go Pony Rangers! // by SapphireRose87 //------------------------------// Jason sat hard at work on his computer. After weeks of working he had finally found the solution… Time Travel…  Earlier in the month, Jason had made contact with a planet called Equis. And on this planet was said to be horses. Yes, that's right, colorful talking horses! One of them that He came in contact with, was said to be a huge majestic white horse named Princess Celestia. And she said she was ruler of one of the countries of the planet called Equestria.  So, after the meteorite hit, Jason had been working on his plan to send some Humans to the planet Equis. If his theory was correct, then Jason should be able to send people one thousand years into the future and they would arrive on the planet Equis before any one died.  When Jason's Time Machine was finally built, he had selected six women to enter into the Time Machine after he had tested it of course. But here's the catch, the women that he selected to send one thousand years into the future had to be encased in something in order to survive. They had to be encased in ice… * * * Aanya had no idea what she was doing. She had volunteered to be sent to this strange planet called Equis. While her boyfriend Jason had a great idea that would save the Human race, Aanya remained pessimistic. As she wanted to go to Equis, she wondered how she would be able to fulfill her duties has a Power Ranger. The Yellow Power Ranger to be specific.  Aanya always loved to sing because singing made herself feel better. So she pulled out her guitar and sang a joyful song. It was about being selected as a Power Ranger and going to the planet Equis.  Just then, there was a knock at the door. It was her mother.  "You doing okay?" asked mom as she sat down on her bed. "I see you have your guitar out, you must be feeling some sort of pressure. Huh?"  "Yes," said Aanya. "I'm just worried that's all. Got a lot of What If's going through my mind."  "Oh…" said mother. She seemed to be thinking about the situation and how to comfort her daughter.  But Aanya wasn't looking for sympathy. She was looking for reassurance.       "It's okay," said Aanya, "you don't have to comfort me, I'm not looking for sympathy. I can see it in your eyes that's what you want to do."  "I'm sorry," said mother, "it's just that I know you have a lot of pressure on your shoulders and I just want to help you with that." Aanya sighed, "Welp, we'll see what happens tomorrow."  And tomorrow was when they would be sent to Equis frozen in a block of ice. * * * So the day came to be frozen in a block of ice and sent to a strange planet one thousand years into the future. Jason even had a small ceremony for the women that were going and it was only with close friends and family.  Then it was time. As Aanya stepped into the chamber that would freeze her in a block of ice, her thoughts began to wander. Has the chamber started to fill up with water medicine was given to Aanya through an IV; and she was put to sleep. Hopefully, this would be the solution to humanity's future...  * * * In a cave not too far from Ponyville, the six brave Humans that were sent to Equestria sat frozen in individual blocks of ice, waiting to be thawed out.  Two Ponies of a royal pedigree approached the cave. The ponies names were Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight. Princess Celestia knew about the Humans that been sent to Equis in a block of ice, and she thought it was time to thaw them out.  Princess Celestia paused at the entrance of the cave and smiled at her student and best friend Princess Twilight.   "Well, this is it!" said Princess Celestia. "This is it?" asked Princess Twilight. "I can't see a thing! It's so dark!" "The Humans are hidden deep inside the cave." said Celestia. "I made sure of it when they landed here, back when I first started ruling."   "Humans," said Princess Twilight, "like the ones you made me study about?" "Yes," said Princess Celestia, "these are the very ones, and you'll finally get to meet them!"   "Oh," said Princess Twilight. "So why are we doing this again? My friends and I are strong enough to protect Equestria, why do we need them?" "Because a time will come when you need more than just your friends to protect Equestria." said Princess Celestia. "Why?" said Princess Twilight. "Is there something you're not telling me?" And yes, Princess Celestia was something she not telling Princess Twilight for a lot of reasons.   "I'm afraid that very soon, we'll have another enemy that even pony magic will Not be strong enough to protect Equestria." said Princess Celestia.  That was Princess Celestia's story, and she was sticking to it! Princess Twilight sighed and lit up her horn to give her some light as they entered the cave. As they went deeper into the cave, Princess Twilight noticed that her surroundings had changed. The further they went into the cave the colder the environment became. Princess Twilight didn't know this, but they had been walking for over an hour or maybe even a day at least. It felt like they were walking forever!  "Why is it so cold in here?" asked Princess Twilight. "Where are we?" "It's because we're on the outskirts of the Crystal Empire." said Princess Celestia.  "What!" said Princess Twilight. "This cave is an entrance to the Crystal Empire?" "No," said Princess Celestia, "it's not an entrance to the Crystal Empire, because there's no exit to this cave except where we came in."  "Oh…" said Princess Twilight. "I think it's time we thaw out these Humans, don't ya think?" said Princess Celestia. "If you say so." said Princess Twilight. "Now," said Princess Celestia, "stand back and shield your eyes please." Princess Twilight did as she was told and Princess Celestia then took a deep breath and stood in front of the blocks of ice.  "It is time for you to un-thaw!" said Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia then stood in front of the blocks of ice and her horn lit up. Then, one beam of light that divided up into six beams of light, shot from Princess Celestia's horn.  Has the ice blocks started to thaw, something happened, the Humans that were in the blocks of ice, started to turn into ponies! When they were finally un-thawed, the six Humans that were in the blocks of ice were fully Pony! "What the-" said Princess Twilight. "What happened?" asked Princess Celestia.  All six of the Humans, now turned into ponies, lay asleep on the floor.  "Hum," said Princess Celestia "maybe I need to cast an awakening spell?"  Then Princess Celestia's horn lit up and shot six beams of light at the sleeping ponies. One by one the sleepy ponies opened their eyes and looked around.  "Where are we?" asked Yellow Pony.  "Hello there Humans, who are now ponies," said Princess Celestia, "welcome to Equestria!"
