//------------------------------// // Part 15: Final Confrontation // Story: Denouement Of Power: Forever A Ranger // by TheSuperTransformerFan //------------------------------// The heroes all jumped out of their Megazords and landed on the ground, where they fought their battle, to meet up with Gia and Cozy Glow. The two rangers ran up to them in excitement as they were proud of them for what they did together to defeat the evil cyber legion. “Guys!” Gia said in excitement. “That was awesome!” “I can’t believe we did it!” Devon said in agreement and excitement. “We did it, and Blaze and Roxy’s Cyber legion is now toast!” Chase said in agreement as well. “I guess the power is back!” Kira said in excitement and relief. Just then, three figures slowly got up and were furious at the heroes who won the fight! The heroes took notice and got ready to fight. Suddenly, they were ultimately shocked to find that Chrysalis, Tirek and Grogar had survived the destruction of their gigadrone forms. Tirek was now a lean centaur, Chrysalis had lost her armor, and Grogar had some scratches and his horns were almost broken. “I thought we destroyed you!” Ravi said in alarm and shock. “You think friendship will save you?!” Chrysalis shouted furiously. “We will always return! Nothing will ever stop—!” Her sentence was cut off when a giant cupcake fell RIGHT on the villain trio. The heroes took notice at this and were shocked. “A giant cupcake?!” Chase asked. They had also noticed that rain was falling down. Twilight stuck out her hoof which caught a little drop of the rain and licked it. She noticed that the rain tasted...chocolatey? “...and chocolate rain??” Ivan and Spike asked in pure astonishment and wonder. Devon couldn’t tell who did this, but assumed it was Discord. He turned to the draconniqus. “Discord, are you doing this?” He asked him. The draconniqus was confused as well as he didn’t snap his fingers or anything to cause all this. “It’s not me!” He said. Just then, Pinkie was vibrating randomly and was overwhelmed with new chaos energy. The heroes took notice and were shocked at what they saw. Pinkie Pie had took Discord’s magic from the remains of Grogar’s own bell! “Pinkie!” Tyler shouted. “You took Discord's magic from the bell?!” “How do you feel?” Devon asked her. “Hmmm... Tingly.” Pinkie slowly replied. “Itchy. Also like...” she quickly grew huge to the size of a gigadrone as she laughed maniacally and her mane and tail got chaotic like her body. “I COULD TRANSFORM THE COSMOS SO EVERYTHING IS MADE OF ICING!” the Chaos Pinkie bellowed. She got ready to spread her own chaos magic, when suddenly, she felt her magic being drained. She noticed Tyler taking it from her. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Pinkie asked in pure shock. “Putting the magic back where it really belongs!” Tyler said, taking the chaos magic from Pinkie and aiming the bell and firing it at the 3 immortals, all without looking behind him. Pinkie groaned in disappointment, as Discord snapped his fingers and a munching Pineapple appeared! He smiled, knowing that his magic was back. As did the two sisters, knowing that their magic was back too! The three villains slowly emerged from the cupcake and were face-to-face with an angry sun princess, as well as an angry moon princess too! Discord was also angry at them. “There isn't a punishment worthy of all you done!” Celestia thundered furiously. The villains were frightened at the loathsome looks they were giving them and wished they could be destroyed easily. Just then, Discord whispered something into Celestia's ear and another Discord whispered the same thing into Luna's ear. The two princesses smirked at the request. “Oh! That does seem fitting!" Luna said. “May I help?" One of the discords asked. "Please?" The other said. The two princesses nodded. Celestia and Luna charged their horns with magic. Discord's claws were covered in his own. Just then, Devon got an idea. “Uh, could I contribute to the plan, your highnesses?” He asked. Celestia turned to Devon, and thought that this was a good idea. “We’re listening.” She said calmly and happily as all 3 immortals were ready to hear Devon’s plan. “Load your powers in the Beast-X King Blaster.” He told them. “We’ll fire the shot at those enemies...but, you gotta let Cozy live!” Luna was shocked as Devon was giving a request for Cozy to live. “Are you crazy?!” She asked. “Cozy tried to destroy Equestria! Why would we want to let her live?!” “I think that’s a good idea.” Celestia said to him, smiling. Discord nodded in agreement too. “But, why?!” Luna started to object. “Because the rangers have given me my true will to fight for what I believe in!” Cozy Glow spoke up. “Golly, I used to think that friendship was power, but it’s not. Friendship is magic. I realized that Evox’s offer was too good to be true. I didn’t want those villains to destroy my friends...or our worlds...or our families....which is what you all are...my family.” The heroes all smiled warmly at what she just said to them. “So, that’s when I realized that the greatest virtue was not the power...but the reward of helping others and protecting and spreading the magic of friendship far and wide. I will never let the power go right to my head and affect me like it happened in the past.” “Cozy’s right.” Zoey said, coming up to her side. “She realized that friendship isn’t power, but a magical tool that can help us fight for what we believe in to save our world. And she has proven just that. She’s on our side now.” Luna was shocked at what she just heard! She wanted to turn Cozy into stone, but after hearing this heartwarming speech about how she reformed and realizing what she did to save her friends and all of Equestria and Earth, she gave in. “Okay.” The moon princess said. “We’ll do it. How can we help?” Devon got out the Beast-X King Blaster and opened the hatch where the Morph-X comes in. “Load your powers in here.” Devon told them. “We’ll take it from here.” The immortals obeyed and put their magic from their horns and claws inside the blaster. When they finished loading their power in there, Devon closed and sealed the hatch and got the blaster ready to fire! He aimed it at the villain trio! “Ravi! Zoey!” He called to them, as they got on the left side of the blaster. “Nate! Steel!” He told the other two as they got on the right side of the blaster. “Cozy Glow!” Cozy obeyed and got in the front of the blaster as she help the shooting barrel of said weapon and held it above her right shoulder. The six rangers charged up the Beast-X King Blaster with the 3 immortals’ magic, ready to take the shot. “FIRE!” They all shouted as they fired at the 3 villains spot on! The villains suddenly turned stiff as a layer of stone started to slowly cover them. The layer kept encasing them until finally, they were now turned to stone statues. “TRANSPORT...CHEETAH CLAWS!” Devon hit his transporter and his claw weapons appeared before him. He jumped up and started to advance toward the 3 now-stone villains. Cozy was confused as Devon was already going for them even though they defeated them. “Devon, what are you doing?” She asked in shock and curiosity. Devon used his cheetah speed to quickly zoom over to the statue, and slashed the stone villains, moving past the statue quickly as it crumbled and turned to dust. The villains trio was now no more! “Virus eliminated!” Devon said, as everyone went up into a big loud cheer! Discord, who was shocked and amazed at how Devon finished off the villains walked up to him. “I was going to say ‘Together forever. I can't think of anything that they would want less!’, but it looks like you already took care of it!” He said as he got ready to hi-five the ranger, only to realize that he still had the cheetah claws. He retracted them, just in time to hi-five him. “You’re a great tactical genius, Red Ranger!” “Thanks, Discord!” He said, patting him on the back. “You too!” He ran to join his friends who were all excited at how he defeated the villains one last time. “Great job, Man!” Ravi said in excitement! “You did it!” “We did it!” Devon said, correcting him. “We all did it!” “Devon, that move you pulled to defeat all 3 villains was simply just phenomenal!” Steel said in excitement. “I didn’t know you had the guts to do that!” “And, it wasn’t nothing!” Cozy said in agreement. “It was something! You helped save us all!” She and the others hugged Devon really tight. “I knew you could do it.” “Thanks, guys.” Devon said. “But I couldn’t have done it without all of you! And like you said, ‘Friendship creatures Equestria and when one friendship dies, the results can be disastrous.’” Twilight blushed at what he had recalled her saying. “I guess all the power is back.” Kimberly said, happy at the victory they were having for the defeat of Chrysalis, Tirek and Grogar! "You've ruined everything!" Blaze roared furiously as he and Roxy approached the heroes. "Now, all of the magic has escape from Tartarus!" The Mane six, starlight, and Spike appeared before the avatars and glared furiously at them. "I mean... Yay! All the magic is back!" The crimson avatar sheepishly said with a fake smile on his face. “You can drop the act, Blaze!" Applejack exclaimed "Your pen pal, Evox told us all about how he helped you and Roxy suck up all that power!" "But I still don't understand why." Twilight Sparkle said. "Why?! Because friendship is power!" Blaze growled. "You might be the Princess of Friendship, but as leader of this legion, I can collect even more power than you!" The heroes started talking amongst themselves. They didn’t think that sounded right. You're the one who doesn't get it, Blaze." Devon said as he walked up to him. "Friendship is powerful, but power isn't why you make friends. I'm sorry I couldn't teach you that." "Well, you taught us." Starlight said, as she and her friends walked up to him. "You can't let a few bad apples make you think you failed." Silverstream said. "Yeah! And we never could've stopped her if we hadn't showed up and helped you, and got the others to learn what Twilight taught us about friendship." Tyler said in agreement. The other heroes nodded too. "Honesty? Loyalty? Generosity? Blah-blah-blah!" Blaze said sarcastically. "I can get more power without using any of it! And if We can't do it here, We’ll do it somewhere else!" They tried to escape, but some of the students and Mighty Morphin Rangers blocked their way. "Yeah...I don't think so!" Trini exclaimed. The avatars tried to escape another way, but Celestia, Luna and Discord and some other rangers blocked that way as well. The two cyber villains then looked at the sky and saw the royal guard, ready to block them if they dared to escape. They were then handcuffed and taken away by the guard. The heroes were happy now that the villains were destroyed and Blaze and Roxy were captured. “Finally!” Gia said in excitement. “No more Grogar! And his bewitching bell has been destroyed.” “The dimensions will remain separate and safe.” Tyler told them. “We can go home.” Chase said. “Oh, great!” Koda said in excitement. “I have mammoth hunt soon!” The others all chuckled at that. Twilight smiled at Tommy, who appeared before him. “Thank you...for everything!” She said. Tommy smiled. “No, Thank you.” He told her. “Earth and Equestria are safe again, it was an honor to fight by your side.” “You all have your own worlds to protect.” Devon said to the legendary rangers. “And, we still have Evox to take care of.” Starlight Glimmer finished in agreement. Connor snorted a laugh. “Please!” He said. “He doesn’t stand a chance! Not with the Beast Morpher rangers on his tail!” Jason walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, and smiled. “The Power Ranger legacy is in good hands.” He told him. “May the power protect you!” “Thanks, Jason!” Devon said to him. “You too!” He patted him on the shoulder. “There’s nothing you can’t do...” Shelby started. “...as long as you do it together!” Zack finished the sentence. “You’re one jolly heck of a crew!” Ivan said, walking up to him. “Thanks.” Devon said. “That means a lot.” “Especially, coming from legends like you guys.” Twilight said to them. “Well, it's time for us to leave. We'll always be with you.” Tommy told the rangers and elements. “Rangers forever...” “Defending together!” They all shouted out to finish the sentence. Devon, the elements and rangers saluted the legends as they started to head back for their dimensions. “Take care, guys!” Zoey called out to them. The legendary rangers opens the portals that led to their worlds and went through them. “Good bye!” Zack said as his team went through the portal along with the other rangers, who were just on their way home. Just then, Devon got an idea, and his other teammates, along with the elements of Harmony were thinking the same thing. “Hey, Connor!” He called out. Connor turned around to see him. “We’re having a big victory party at the Castle! You wanna come?” “That sounds like a good idea.” Connor said as he walked to the heroes. “Considering, we did defeat our enemies, after all!” “We’ll come!” Tyler said as he and his team walked up to the heroes. “We all think this does call for a jolly good celebration!” Ivan said in excitement. “We’d love it if we came!” Shelby said. The others all smiled, knowing that they had some legendary friends coming to their victory party. Jason and Tommy joined up with them. “We’ll go too!” Tommy said. “Tirek, Chrysalis and Grogar have been defeated, Cozy reformed, and Blaze and Roxy captured...this is the perfect time to celebrate!” Jason said in agreement. “Alright!” Devon said in excitement. “Then, what are you waiting for?” Rainbow Dash said in excitement. “Let’s get to that par-tay!” Just then, Celestia was walking up to them, but specifically, Twilight as she had an important announcement for the young violet alicorn, because she not only defeated the villainous legion with her friends as a team, but also, she knew that her former student was ready to take herself, and Luna’s place as the new ruler of Equestria because, she had the proper qualities and traits of a ruler. “When I sent you to Ponyville, I had high—“ she started to say to her former student. “Sorry, no time for a speech!” Connor said, as the heroes ran past her, and playfully pushed her out of the way. “We got a party to go to! See you later!” Celestia, herself was a little surprised and shocked that the heroes, including Twilight, had ran past her, and cut off the speech that she had all set for the young alicorn. “That’s RUDE. What did we do?” She asked in disgust. “No, Tia. That’s not rude.” Luna said, walking up to her. “That’s a sign of respect.” Celestia started to object, but realized that her sister was right. She took in a deep breath and smiled at her younger sister and the lord of chaos. “You’re right, Luna.” She said as she turned to face the heroes running for the castle to have their victory party. “It’s great, knowing that my most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, has done many extraordinary things since I sent her to Ponyville.” She started to let a tear out of her eye. “It makes me wonder if I’ll ever see her again!” She calmed herself, knowing that everything would be alright and Twilight would do a great job as they new ruler of Equestria! “Knowing her, and that she has good friends by her side, I know she is ready. How could she not be?” Her sister and Discord all chuckled in agreement, knowing that Twilight was ready and that there was nothing to worry about. Everything was going to be just fine! Meanwhile, Connor, who was running with the heroes to the victory party in Canterlot, stopped for a brief moment and turned to see the 2 regal princesses and the lord of chaos, all smiling down at Twilight and the others. “Now, that was epic!” He said, as he smiled at the 3 regal immortals before turning back to his friends to head over to victory party, where a much needed celebration for the heroes would be in order.
