At the donut shop in Canterlot Castle, the Beast Morpher rangers, Dino Charge Rangers, Jason, Tommy, Connor and the elements of Harmony, alongside Starlight, Spike and Cozy Glow were enjoying their victory party as a result of them defeating Lord Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, and Grogar. They were munching on snacks and chatting about their latest victory.
Rarity was the first one to speak at the party as the others were enjoying their snacks. “Post-apocalyptic donuts.” She said. “Interesting choice.”
“I know.” Twilight said. “But there's gonna be plenty of time for all the challenges and struggles and adventures to come.”
“And, For now, We just want to spend a quiet moment with the best friends We’ve ever had.” Devon said in agreement.
“Well, mostly quiet.” Applejack said, as she and Ravi pointed to Pinkie, who was noisily eating some of the donuts.
“Well, for me, I drinking this.” Steel got out a can of oil, and loaded it into his body to “drink it all up”. The mane six though that was funny.
“Well...” Jason said. “When Celestia sent you to Ponyville, she had high hopes. When you became Princess of Friendship, She knew She made the right choice for her own successor.”
“But nothing could prepare her for how we handled Blaze and Roxy’s legion of Doom, and how proud she was right now. Equestria is definitely in the right hooves.” Nate said, finishing Jason’s sentence. “ I think you might be ready for this sometime soon. Maybe in the near future?”
Twilight smiled. “You know what, Nate?” She said. “I think I am.”
“Hey,...” Connor realized. “Wasn’t that what she was going to say to Twilight before we ran past her to go to the victory party here?”
“It certainly was, darling.” Rarity said. “I don’t know why we just rudely interrupted her speech. Then, again the victory party was more important at the time.”
“We definitely did great against those villains.” Tommy said. “I mean, if we hadn’t met you and helped save your butts from those bad guys, you guys would all be in a whole lot of hot water with them.”
“Yeah.” Ravi said. “And who knew that the Titano energem was in Grogar’s own bell? How did it even get there?”
“I have no idea.” Chase said. “But fortunately, we managed to recover it and return it to its rightful owner.”
"Well, I'm glad you're safe AND back in charge of the action, Princess Twilight." Cozy Glow said. Twilight just smiled.
“Thank you.” She said warmly.
"I'm glad too ." Zenowing said to the young alicorn. "It's clear to me now that there isn't anypony better suited for being the Ryu Ranger. I’m glad she reformed in time.”
“Yeah.” Riley said in agreement.
“Or else the damsel in distress would be turned to stone like the others!” Ivan said. Cozy shuddered at that.
“Hey, come on, Cozy.” Shelby said. “At least that didn’t happen to you. You reformed on your own and realized that the universe and your friends are more important...not the power.” The alicorn filly smiled brightly at that.
"Well, Golly. Now that I helped you save Equestria, I figure I’m done with school." Cozy said.
Twilight Sparkle and the others all laughed. "Saving Equestria is nice...” Twilight said. “...but I'm afraid it'll take more than one battle to learn all there is to know about friendship."
"I told you, didn't I?" Spike asked Cozy, making her groan in nice disappointment. At least, she was going to be learning at the School of Friendship and making new friends along the way...the right way that is.
"The new ruler of Equestria is right." Zenowing said. "I thought villains like her had irremediable qualities. But you taught me how wrong we all were.” The others nodded in agreement. “I suppose true friendship can take a lifetime to understand."
“Speaking of which...” Shelby asked the alicorn filly. “Is there something you'd like to say?”
“This was all my fault.” She said to the heroes. “I joined Evox in the past, so I could take over the world, not destroy it. But, after learning what the legion’s true intentions were, I realized being evil was not the path to take. I didn’t want to destroy the world I knew...not my friends. It just didn’t feel right. I'm sorry.”
“Thank you, Cozy Glow.” Starlight said. “Honesty is one of the pillars of friendship. But you already know that.” She pointed to her and playfully smiled.
“I just glad that I have real friends and a real “family”!” Cozy smiled, looking at all the rangers, ponies and creatures that were in this room with her. “You are my friends, and if I hadn’t met you and realized how important friendship can be, then...”
“We know.” Koda said, finishing her sentence. “You would be done for!” The others laughed, and Cozy thought that because of this, now was the perfect time to join in laughing as well.
“Thank goodness you’re ready to take the two sisters rule.” Steel said. “First question. What do we do with all the other creatures?”
“We're gonna need a lot more chairs for the coronation!” Pinkie said, as the others nodded in agreement.
“Actually, as soon-to-be ruler of Equestria, I'd like to postpone the coronation for a while.” Twilight said. “At least until the castle's rebuilt.”
“And good timing, too.” Ravi said. “That castle, right now is in no condition to set up a coronation for you.” The others and Twilight laughed.
“Good jokes, Ravi.” She said. “Though you are still invited. Did you ask the commander?”
“She said yes!” Devon said excitedly, making the whole room go into a not-to-loud cheer.
“Phenomenal!” Steel said. “I guess we got a coronation to attend, in the near future.”
“It's like the end of an era.” Riley said, knowing that the big battle was over and Twilight was ready to take Celestia and Luna’s place.
“Or the beginning of an even more awesome era!” Rainbow Dash said in amazement.
“Yeah!” Tyler said. “It’s also nice to know that we not only won the battle, but we also have a new friend by our side.” Cozy just blushed warmly at that.
“Thanks, Tyler.” She said.
“Thanks, Tyler.” Nate said to him. “...for everything. If we hadn’t met you, we would had hard time defending both our universes. You and your team saved us all, for starters.”
Tyler smiled. “Thanks, but the real heroes of this battle are you guys.” He said. “You guys have proven that there is more to Friendship than just rainbow lasers and elements.” They all laughed a little bit at that remark.
“All we know now is whatever comes next for Princess Twilight and her friends is going to be perfect.” Connor said.
“Equestria and Earth are in good hands with you.” Jason said, pointing to the Beast Morpher rangers and Elements of Harmony. “We’re very proud of you.”
“Just one question...” Spike asked. “How does Twilight know that what comes next is going to be perfect?”
“Trust me, Spike.” Twilight said, smiling at her no. 1 assistant. “With you and our friends by my side, how could it not?” They all laughed in agreement, knowing that with her friends, and Power Rangers by her side, ready to defend both Earth and Equestria, everything was going to be just fine. What could possibly spoil their one moment of victory.
Just then, Trixie, and Tempest finally got inside the shop the heroes were in, looking more alert than ever as the heroes, themselves noticed. "We held them off as long as we could!" Trixie said.
"But they were gone before we could catch them!" Tempest said.
"What happened?!” Trixie asked the heroes. “Is everything all right?! Where’s Blaze and Roxy?!" Trixie exclaimed. Everyone except the 2 that just rushed in laughed.
"Relax, everything's okay." Cozy Glow reassured them.
"Everything worked out just fine." Zenowing said to them.
"As for Blaze and Roxy, I can assure you...” Devon told them with confidence, knowing where they were now. “Where they’re going, they won't be causing any more trouble."
Meanwhile in Tartarus, Cerbereus whimpered as the Storm King was in a cage where Tirek should have been, but since Tirek got turned to stone, he was the best bet to take his spot in the prison.
“Of course it's boring here now!" The Storm King shouted out at the mythological three-headed dog. "But at least you're not in a cage!"
Then, he saw that a portal opened. Princess Luna and two royal guards came out of it. Then they locked Blaze and Roxy in a cage and left, leaving them with the Storm King and Cerbereus to keep them company. The two cyber villains looked around and saw that they were taken there after they were arrested. They didn’t know what to expect, but Blaze did, because he was thinking of a way to escape, and he thought of how to do it. They would probably need the new, gray and black plated Minotaur’s help to do that.
"Hey, Neighbor.” Blaze said, as he looked at the Storm King, and held on the bars. “Want to be friends?" He smiled evilly.
