//------------------------------// // Chapter 36: Gokaigers, Rangers, Ponies // Story: Power Rangers Super Megaforce: Equestrian Adventure // by ariellewilson //------------------------------// The Gokaigers found themselves in a cave. They looked around, seeing five panels in the color of red, blue, pink, green, and yellow. They saw keys, much like their Super Sentai keys from Zyurangers to Goseigers. However, they don’t see any other keys they seem familiar with. Marvelous looked at each key, searching for the ones before Zyurangers. Do the Gokaigers’ counterparts have any of those keys? The cave is pretty much damp, unlike the Gokai Galleon the Gokai crew live in, where it was bright and friendly. Gokai Red looked at the keys, not watching where he was going when he bumped into someone - or something - in front of him. “My bad,” he apologized, turning to see who he rammed into. His jaw dropped. “You-” He pointed at the thing on the wall. “I mean, who are you? Are you...Tensou?” “I am Gosei,” the thing on the wall boomed. “Tensou is my assistant.” It’s mouth blinked when he spoke. “Troy has him teleport all of you here after he mentioned six ponies. Are you one of the six ponies he was talking about?” Marvelous nodded. “I see…” Its eyes blinked as it kept talking. “Normally, I would’ve sensed something was up. Something unexpected, except I hadn’t sensed new six ponies. Care to explain?” Unable to believe he was talking to a medal face on the wall, the Asian unicorn spoke back. “I’m not sure how to explain it. All my team and I remember is fighting a monster, got mysteriously teleported on this...thing that have similar enemies we dealt with except for the new ones whom we don’t know, got requested to look for their missing soldier in a creepy forest. Then...that’s it.” He scratched the tip of his hoof on the floor. “Us Gokaigers don’t remember what else has happened. The one thing I can remember is being mad for no reason.” “Wait,” the little bot piped up with a rather baffle look. “Gokaigers?” he questioned, unaware of the word, unable to process it through his small, rectangular head. “Yes, we’re Gokaigers,” the unicorn answered. “We save people from a lot of monsters. We fight these grey things called gormin soldiers, along with the blue things known to be non-commissioned officers zugormin.” “You mean the x-borgs and bruisers?” “Huh?” “What Tensou is saying…” Troy stepped up to him. “...is that those things you mentioned are what we call-” He gestured at his team and himself. “-x-borgs and bruisers.” “Are you saying we have the same henchmen we deal with?” The caption was completely baffled. “Yes.” He nodded his head. “Weird…” was all the captain could think of. “And those similar enemies are known to be the Armada aliens. We encounter Vekar, who is the prince, Argus, as well as a lot of other monsters.” “Don’t forget when this green alien named Levira who had a crush on me,” Jake reminded his leader, shuddering at the memories. “There was this love triangle going around when that event happened. Good thing I got out of it.” The Gokai team were amazed, from what they’ve been informed. Again, Levira is similar to a green alien, along with what their counterparts call Vekar and Argus, except they don’t know which is which. Luka decided to ask that question. “Which one is Vekar? Who is Argus?” “Vekar is-” “Vekar is a blue alien crybaby who is jealous of his younger brother for his dad chose him out to be his favorite, leaving the whiny one out since he always acts like a three year old,” a pink pony began to ramble. “Argus is this white robotic pony who is a white pegasus who fights Noah for no apparent reason, even though in your place you call them Commandant Warz Gill and Special Duty Officer Barizorg. And Levira is known to be Development Technical Officer Insarn. Not only that, you Gokaigers are from space while one of you isn’t. You can transform into different Sentai teams, like thirty-four of them, storing them in the Gokai Treanger Box or in your Gokai Buckle. The place you live in is the Gokai Galleon, which is similar to the red Skyship, and all of you have your own mecha such as the Gokai Jet, Gokai Racer, Gokai Trailer, Gokai Marine, and again, the Gokai Galleon, while he-” She jumped next to Gokai Silver. “-as the GoZyuJin.” A huge grin came upon her face. The Gokaigers can only stare at one another at what was heard out of the cotton candy haired pony. Ahim came up to her counterpart. “Is she some sort of… You know…” “She’s like that,” her counterpart said. “It’s how Pinkie Pie is.” “Pinkie Pie?” Gokai Pink never heard such a name like Pinkie Pie. Twilight smiled, approaching the Gokaigers. She decided to introduce, not only herself, but to everyone as well. “Yes, her name is Pinkie Pie. I’m Twilight Sparkle. This here is Starlight Glimmer…” she began telling them her friends’ names, starting off with her student. “Spike…” She gestured at a small dragon. “Troy, Orion, Noah, Gia, Jake, and Emma…” Next were the Power Rangers, despite the Asian ponies not knowing about it yet. “...Ice Crystal, Lacy Lasso, Hazel Blossom, Sugar Cupcake, Lightning Twister, Mythic Diamond, Cobalt…” she continued on with the Power Ponies, although the newbies don’t know about that, either. “This here is Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy…” The rest of the Elements of Harmony gave the Gokaigers kind smiles. Like the Power Ranges and the Power Ponies, the newcomers don't know who - or what - are the Elements of Harmony. “Tell us your names.” The leader of the Gokaigers shook his head after getting all the names in his head, hoping he’ll remember them all. He and his fellows already heard Noah and Fluttershy’s names ever since they'd been corrupted before getting out of it. He then told her his name. “I’m-” “Captain Marvelous,” the Element of Laughter jumped in. Applejack whacked her behind the head. “Ow!” she hollered out, messaging the area where she got hit. “It’s his name,” she said, flinching at her cousin’s scolding expression. Dash scoffed. “Awesome on how you randomly know his name,” she answered somewhat in interest, regarding the same time she was giving a hint of sarcasm. “Wait, don’t tell us, you know his friends' names, too. Hah!” Her cheery nature went into serious mode. “Yes, I do Dash. Their names have already been introduced in the last chapter.” “Chapter?” Don was perplexed; unable to understand what she was saying. He turned to Jake. “We know now she’s random, except...what does she mean by chapter? Is she...feeling okay?” The Green Ranger laughed a little, responding to his counterpart. “Like Emma said, she’s like this. She isn’t sick or anything. No worries, you’ll get used to her. You have no idea how much random stuff she’d said over the past few months.” He has no other words to reply with. His own counterpart does make a point. Him and his friends will need to get used to her wild personality. Hearing her say the word chapter doesn’t make any sense. Instead of trying to question her, he decided to let it go. After Pinkie told the names of the Gokaigers, knowing them somehow, the leader of his team asked who were the Power Rangers, Power Ponies, and Elements of Harmony. Gosei explained everything. The Power Rangers started off as Megaforce Rangers, way before Orion joined the team. About how they used cards to retrieve their weapons, their Zords, their Gosei Megazord of all kinds. How they were dealing with Vrak, along with his Insectoides. He went on, telling the new ponies how the Power Rangers went from Megaforce to Super Megaforce, using keys to unlock past Rangers, to use their weapons in battles, using new Zords and Megazords, similar to the Gokiagers. He told them about Orion, retelling his story of how he used to live on a planet called Andresia. He told them about how Orion came to earth, by crash landing there. Earth, the Gokaigers learned, are the rest of the Rangers’ home world. Not only that, Orion has his own Zord. Next was Ice Crystal. She told the Gokaigers that she, Hazel, Mythic, Sugar, Lacy, Lightning Twister, and Cobalt, are the Power Ponies, coming from a place known as Maretropolis that is found in a comic book, a place where they’re from until a villain known as Queen Chrysalis corrupted them until Princess Celestia freed them from the spell. Lastly, Twilight finished the explanation. Explaining about the Elements of Harmony. Marvelous and his team learned about the Elements like Laughter, Kindness, Honesty, Generosity, Loyalty, and Magic. They learned Pinkie Pie possessed the Element of Laughter, Rainbow earned the Element of Loyalty, Applejack deserved the Element of Honesty, Rarity getting the Element of Generosity, with Fluttershy having the Element of Kindness. The sixth Element - Magic - was unlocked after the unicorn with wings announced about which Element goes to which pony. Going on, she spoke about Spike, then went onto Starlight Glimmer, telling them she went from bad to good. She stated that the lilac colored unicorn with the purple and teal mane and tail is her student who doesn’t have any sort of Element. Another thing she told them are the villains she and the others are dealing with now. About how the Armada teamed up with the other villains. The Rangers already defeated Chrysalis and Lord Tirek. Now they have to get rid of the rest - unless they do, or else Cozy Glow or Grogar will destroy Equestria. And if the Rangers don’t defeat the Armada, the Armada will go back to earth, taking over the planet. Equestria, the new ponies found out, is a place where all kinds of ponies - earth ponies, unicorns, pegasi, and alicorns - live. They learned that the earth ponies are the strongest ponies in the group, the pegasi control the weather, while the unicorns are intelligent. Marvelous and Joe didn’t need to be told they are unicorns after looking in the mirror of the Armada Ship. Luka and Don are the earth ponies, which they found out since they wondered why they don’t have horns or wings. Gai and Ahim are pegasi, after they figured out why they have them. They already knew they were earth ponies and pegasus ponies in the previous chapter. No, Pinkie, it was never mentioned. They didn’t know what types of ponies they are until now. Marvelous and Joe are the only ones to find out that they are unicorns, hence the horns they each have on their foreheads. You got a point there. By the way, when will- See ya later, Pinks. Wait-! I need to ask you a quest- No, don’t think about it. Author, I’m warning you…! Let me tell you a- Nooooooooooo! The party pony zoomed out of the Command Center, then came back with a plate of cupcakes. “Anyone want a cupcake?” The response she got were strange looks on Gokaigers’ faces. She plopped a cupcake with green icing into her mouth, answering the questions that were in their thoughts. “The author made the Pinkie Pie - me - get these pastries from the bake shop in Ponyville,” she explained, the small cake being squished between her molars, the icing on her lips, chewing it. “You know, there was a creepypasta where I was cutting up Rainbow to get into her insides, using her meaty flesh to use as ingredients for my cupcakes,” she suddenly brought up unexpectedly, swallowing the eaten pastry, tossing a new one into her mouth. Everyone could only look at one another, unaware of what the pony had mentioned. The athletic pegasus came up to her. “You may say things out of the sky, take out random stuff, hang upside down by some rope, nevertheless…” She raised her eyes up, going through her list of thoughts, seeing which one would be decent for her prankster partner. “What you stated, there is no ‘creepypasta’ about you using my flesh to use as ingredients. Plus, I have no idea what a ‘creepypasta’ is.” “I would love to explain it to you, except this book we’re in is rated T.” The sky colored pony looked at her, unsure on how to understand this. Her friend caught her puzzled expression. “You forgot we’re in a book, didn’t you?” Rather than getting irritated, she obviously knows her friend is being herself. After all, Pinkie is being Pinkie. She decided to bring up something else, when she was beaten by the party pony. “I’m gonna throw you Gokaigers the biggest welcome party like I did with the Rangers.” She got between Luka and Gai, wrapping her arms around them. “Teleport us back to Ponyville, Tensou.” “Shouldn’t Celestia know about the Gokaigers?” Tensou replied, getting ready to teleport everyone out of here. “I’ll write her a letter about it,” the princess told the robot. “Plus, I’ll bet they want to go to the Grand Galloping Gala.” “Grand Galloping Gala?” The Element of Kindness placed a hoof on Joe. “We'll tell you all about it at the party.” This got her to look at the Blue Ranger, who can only smile in return. “By the way, do you Gokaigers like parties?” the pegasus asked. “We never had parties,” the Asian unicorn admitted. “Right, Captain?” “Indeed,” his leader confirmed. Spike laughed. “Well, no worries, Pinkie Pie can throw you all a great Welcome To Ponyville Party.” Smirking, the captain thought it won’t be a bad idea to have a party for him and his team. “Go for it,” he encouraged the party girl. “Toss us new ponies a party.” “Yippee!” Cheering in brightness, a cupcake was tossed, hitting the right button on one of the panels somehow, teleporting everyone out of the Command Center. Tensou cleaned up the cupcake, wishing he would eat it, then he went back to building the device he’s been working on to get him, Gosei, the Rangers, and possibly the Gokaigers back on earth.
