When we last left the rangers & ponies, were shown to be decimated by Twilight Sparkle, and her subordinates, along with Robo-Blaze and Robo-Roxy. And the Beast-X King Activator was glowing too! It looked like it was the end for our heroes, but was it...?
When the smoke dissolved from the destruction of the final blow from Twilight, it revealed a few multicoloured blurs, still struggling to get up. And, it looked like the rangers and their allies were still alive! However, they were too weak to fight from that combined blast, as they struggled to get up but kept limping down.
Their friends were relieved to see they survived. “Devon‘s still alive!” Cruise said with relief.
“But, they’re still weakened!” Jax said in alarm, pointing to them.
“They gotta get back up!” Smash said as well.
“They’re too weak!” Applebloom said in shock.
“But...look there!” Sweetie Belle shouted, pointing to a gold/crimson-like ranger, who was still standing.
The others saw, and were surprised to see this happening before their own eyes. It appeared to them, that Cozy Glow...the Ryu Ranger...was still standing! And, she wasn’t backing down.
“Cozy‘s still alive too!” Scootaloo said excitedly.
“But, she’s also weak, Scootaloo!” Sweetie Belle started to argue.
“I don’t think so.” Applebloom disagreed. “Look!” They all saw, and were surprised to see that she refused to go down yet! Little did everyone know that this would be a time to turn the tide of this galactic fight!
The rangers, and their allies were a little too weak to get back up and fight, but Cozy Glow wasn’t down and out yet! She refused to give up and admit defeat, and was ready to continue fighting.
“Oh, man!” Ravi said, as he struggled. “I can’t believe we lost that easily! How are we supposed to stop them?!”
“We didn’t lose yet, Ravi!” Steel said confidently.
“What are you talking about, Steel?” Ravi asked again.
“Look!” He pointed to the Ryu Ranger, who was still standing.
Everyone was surprised to see Cozy still up and running, as she ran to to them.
“Rangers!” She said in shock. “You need to get up! Come on!” She struggled to get them back up on their feet. But, they were too weak to do so.
Twilight and her subordinates were shocked to see Cozy still alive, but scoffed not expecting one ranger to take them down. “You're kidding.” She joked, before getting serious. “You're kidding, right?”
Cozy growled as she clenched her fists. “You keep telling yourself that!” She snapped. She ran toward them, furiously.
“COZY!” They all shouted in horror.
“I won’t let you lay another finger on the Power Rangers!” Cozy bellowed, as she readied up her attack. “HADOKEN!” But, to her surprise, the subordinates and robot Generals deflected her attack, and blasted her, sending her down.
“NO!” They all shouted, as they saw her start to fall. But, she only was on her knees as she went down.
Cozy was scared, and didn’t know what to do as she struggled. She saw her friends on the ground and gasped. “GUYS! NO!” she shouted in horror as they were beaten, she was even more frightened when she saw the cosmic legion about to strike her.
“What am I going to do now?!” she thought, scared. “I thought we could handle this, but Twilight and the others are too strong! I’m scared and I don’t know what to do!!!” she still struggled to get up.
“What do I do”? She said, scared as she saw their enemies about to attack her.
“You fool!” Luna sneered at Cozy Glow. “Did you really think you could defeat us?!”
“Now you will never see your friends, or this world again!” Twilight said, as she smiled evilly. “The malice will last forever!” They all laughed, as Cozy could only watch in horror. She was in tight spots before, but this was her tightest.
She started to slunk in defeat, but then heard a lion call. “Huh?” She asked. “What’s that?” She turned to see a vision of the Beast-X King Zord calling out to her. She then remembered what the Commander and her friends all said to her, and that she wasn’t useless! She had been for her team before, even since she defected from Tirek and Evox!
That’s when she, herself realized that she’s done a lot in her life, all because she accepted friends, but realizes that she can’t accept the downfall of Equestria or Earth...nor the downfall of her friends. She realized she would do anything to protect them all from Cosmos, and she would accept any responsibility she must do and any challenge she must face to make sure they’re all safe.
Suddenly, she felt her true beast instincts kick in, and a spark or glint through her eyes, like Twilight did, when she first awakened the Elements of Harmony. She gasped in amazement, as she felt this. She wasn’t about to give up! Not at a moment like this! She had to face them!
She slowly got back up, and felt pure rage flowing through her body! She was about to settle this battle...right here, right now!
The cosmic legion turned to see her back up. “Huh?!” The girls shouted in shock.
“What?!” Robo-Blaze asked in rage.
“You think you can destroy me or my friends just like that? Well, you're wrong!” Cozy said, as she furiously pointed to them. “Because I am right here!”
They just scoffed. “Don’t make us laugh!” Celestia said in disbelief. “You’re just a kid!”
“You’re right!” Cozy said bravely. “I may have been horrible when I led Twilight’s school, when she left for Tartarus! I was ready for them to follow me, but... I wasn't ready for my friends to stop me! Sometimes, with a past like your own, you feel like you should never be in charge of anything!” She continued to get up, slowly...her fists clenched, and her breathing, now sounding like growling.
“But, when the odds are against us, and when it seems like it’s a obstacle, it all falls to me to handle this. Because sometimes, like you said, “you always must know when to call for help!”’ She continued to say bravely. “The Mane Six, and Power Rangers all believed in Twilight Sparkle, and they all believe in me, because I have been, and will be there to help them out of such messes like this!”
“She’s basically delirious!” Zecora said jokingly. “Robo-Blaze! Knock some sense into her!”
“Right!” Robo-Blaze nodded. “You’re finished, Cozy!” He performed some swift swipes of his saber, and sent them to the struggling ranger, but they all missed and skidded past her. “What?!”
“It’s didn’t hit her!” Robo-Roxy said in shock. She whipped out her guns, and aimed them. “I’ll make sure I get a clear shot at that little ranger filly!” She pointed them at her. “This time it is you who will suffer!”
However, Cozy was too heated to feel any emotion, as she kept struggling, and yet was slowly walking toward them. “I was afraid I might go back to being the pony I used to be, after the rangers saved me!” She continued. “But I realize that sometimes you don't have a choice. You have to step up. And I have changed! I know I can handle it. Whether that means saving Equestria or helping friends out.” The cosmic divas, and generals tried to blasts her, but she refused to back down, as she was still standing and walking towards them.
“You know, you got it all wrong with what Lord Tirek even taught me!” Cozy strongly disagreed with her philosophy earlier, as she still advanced. Friendship isn't power. Friendship is magic! You can't stop me from trying, and we could be stuck doing this for all eternity!” The villains still continued to blast her, as she kept coming to them. Twilight, and the others started to get a little nervous, but Cozy was brave as she still continued forward.
“What you're doing goes way beyond what Starlight did to Twilight back when they time traveled!” The rangers looked at Starlight, who blushed a pure shade of red as she said that. “the fate of Equestria and Earth hangs in the balance!” The blasts kept coming, but she kept standing. “I've seen it a dozen times! Things don't turn out well without my friends! The differences between me and my friends are the very things that make our friendship strong!”
“Ugh!” Luna groaned. “What's so special about your friends?! How can a group of ponies and humans that are so different be so important?!” She and the other subordinates kept on firing.
“We've faced countless enemies before, and we've always succeeded, no matter the odds. That wouldn't be possible without all of them!” She pointed at the rangers as she said that. “Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did? I may be looking like a true survivor, yet I’m feeling like a little kid! We've proven time and time again that the real magic is us working together! With my friends by my side, I'm not afraid of you, what you can do, or how much power you have!"
The Cosmic group wasn’t about to back down either, as they kept readying their weapons. “She’s not backing down!” Cadence shouted.
“I know that!” Robo-Blaze said, angrily. “Keep shooting her!” They nodded, as they continued to keep firing at her, but to no avail, as she didn’t go down so easily.
“You may knock me down, but I will get back up again!” Cozy deflected the blasts with her arm gauntlets, as they went to different areas of the ground. “And again! And again! As long as I have my friends, I will never stop trying to defeat you!” She kept shielding herself from the attacks, with her gold armor on her suit, still refusing to admit defeat! “Each of my friends has taught me something different about myself! It was their unique gifts and passions and personalities that helped bring out the magic, and power inside of me! I never would have learned that I’d be the Ryu Ranger, after what they did to save my world, but I certainly wouldn't be here to stop you now!” She pointed at them again furiously.
“Spare me your sentimental nonsense!” Celestia barked. “No group of friends, not even YOURS, is that important!” They started to cease fire, but still kept blasting her a little.
“I told you guys before, didn’t I?” Cozy asked, as she looked at her team, smiling. “No matter what happens, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” The others were shocked, that she believed in them, and that she was now believing in her own self.
Twilight just growled. “Nobody except us!” Twilight said as she walked slowly towards her.
Cozy turned to the villains, and smiled bravely. “Starting today, I’ll be your opponent!” She proclaimed as she hit her gold armor vest on her suit. “TRANSPORT!”
The Beast-X King activator was teleported out of Grid Battleforce, much to Commander Shaw & General Burke’s surprise. They couldn’t believe it was happening! “It can’t be!” The general said in surprise.
“And yet, it’s happening!” Commander Shaw agreed as well, as she rushed over to the monitors and saw Cozy holding the new morpher in her hand.
The activator was teleported to her, as she caught it. “I’ve been waiting for a moment like this!” She said bravely to herself out loud, as she slammed it onto her left wrist. Her fist was clenched as positioned it to her.
“Beast-X King Morpher...Initiate!” Cozy commanded, as she hit a button, and the activator was powered up, and roared to life. A roar was heard as the wind blew by her helmet, and she smiled bravely from inside. She got ready. “It’s Morphin Time! Activate Beast Powers!” She got the Beast-X King Morph-X key, and readied it up. She got into a fighting stance as she plugged the key in the activator.
“Jungle Beast...” Cozy shouted, as she turned the key, and the activator’s visor unfolded. “SPIRIT UNLEASHED!”
The light from the Morpher intensified greatly, as Cozy threw her arms down in an action-like manner. A orange/crimson aura surrounded her as rocks rose up like a CGI earthquake! Her Ryu ranger suit evaporated, as well as her Power Morpher and coin. Then, a black tornado of energy descended and swirled around the Alicorn filly. Black armor pieces...similar to Devon’s Beast-X mode materialized and spun around her, as the tornado dissipated to reveal her new suit. The armor then fused itself onto her suit, as Cozy closed her eyes and her helmet was formed. The visor from the activator flew onto her helmet, and linked with it, shining brightly as it shown some teeth-like markings on the edges.
When the transformation finished, the rangers and their equestrian allies were surprised at what they saw. So we’re the villains, as they never expected to see this vision standing before them! The figure appeared to be a ranger, looking almost identical to Devon’s Beast-X mode, only the suit, and armor was coloured jet black, and the neck collar on the suit was coloured white. The transporter on the suit was coloured silver and gold like Nate and Steel’s. But, what was also different was that her visor was shining black with a white outline, and some teeth-like decals on it as it it were a mouth. This was not just any ranger...this was the 7th ranger, and the one to contain the Power of lion DNA. This was the Black Beast Morphers ranger.
“Midnight Walker....BLACK BEAST RANGER!” Cozy shouted as she posed, with an explosion of black smoke happening behind her.
The rangers were in shock and awe at the sight of her new ranger form, that not even words could describe it! “Unbelievable!” Discord said in shock.
“Holy Toledo!” Capper said in surprise.
“Whoa!” Spike said as well.
“Ohmygosh Ohmygosh Ohmygosh Ohmygosh Ohmygosh!” Rainbow gasped in amazement.
“Whoa Nelly!” Applejack said in shock. “I’ve never seen anything like this!”
“She turned into a Black ranger!” Rarity said in awe. “Quite incredible!”
“WHOA!” The Crusaders all said in shock at the sight of their friend’s new ranger form.
“Oh...my!” Fluttershy gasped in excitement.
“I’m just as shocked as you!” Starlight said in sheer surprise.
“Black ranger party!” Pinkie squealed out.
“Phenomenal!” Steel agreed as well.
“All right!” Ben called out.
“Cozy...Cozy just morphed!” Nate said excitedly.
“All right, Cozy!” Devon shouted.
“Sweet!” Zoey agreed.
“Yeah!” Ravi said in amazement.
Tempest also caught sight of this new ranger, and was too surprised at her appearance. “A new ranger?” she wondered in amazement. She saw the suit, and tried to make out what it’s shape was.
“It looks like the red ranger’s Beast-X Mode…” she thought out loud. “…but at the same time, kinda not. Who is she?” She was curious as to why she was here, and what her intentions were as she continued to watch the fight.
Twilight and the other subordinates growled upon seeing her appearance. “Not another Power Ranger!” Luna said in shock.
“Hey, Princesses!” Cozy said as she slowly, but smugly walked up to them. “I’m a little new at this game. So if you don’t mind, I’d like to use you as practice dummies. Is that okay?”
“NEVER!” Big Mac shouted in rage. “We’re going to use you!”
“We don’t care WHAT color you are!” Robo-Blaze said, as he aimed his raper toward her. “You're still going down!”
“I don’t think so!” Cozy said, as she wasn’t scared of the divas, Blaze, Roxy OR their weapons!
“SUPER TRONICS!” Twilight shouted as the remaining Super Tronics arrived on the spot and posed before their new enemy. “ATTACK!” Twilight shouted, as she gave an evil smirk as the super foot soldiers ran up to the new ranger.
It was time to bring out the new black ranger out onto the battlefield, as she slowly moved her foot on the ground, dusting it off like a baseball player. Her hands clenched into fists, and got into a running start pose. “Alright...” she said smugly. “Let’s play!” She ran toward the foot soldiers and the new Ranger’s debut fight was on!
Steel got back up. “I’ll take them on!” He said, bravely.
“Wait!” Nate said as he got back up, and stopped his brother. “Watch her!”
Cozy started her fight off by throwing powerful punches, more powerful than Devon’s, toward the super tronics. She even threw a few of them over her, as she dashed away. She tackled another Tronic and went to a few more, easily beating them, one by one with her punches, which proved to be too much for the Super foot soldiers, as they were almost weakened entirely.
The Super Tronics were all bound together in a weakened pile of limp multicoloured bodies, as Cozy raced toward them and skidded to a stop. “Time to test out my Lion power!” She said, confidently as she, got into a running pose, and channeled her energy and got ready to execute the finisher.
“BEAST-X KING FINAL COLOSSAL CRUSH!” She shouted as she went through the channeled energy cylinder and became a holographic version of the Beast-X King zord, striking the Super Tronics down instantly, as they were decimated in a matter of seconds.
She skidded to a stop, and turned back to the Tronics as she watched them explode. She smiled smugly. “That takes care of those Super Tronics!” She said triumphantly, as she turned to face the Divas. “Now for you!”
Twilight and the others were shocked as they saw that the Super Tronics that Cosmos created were easily defeated by the black Ranger’s new power! “How is this possible?!” She shrieked in shock. “Those Super Tronics were more powerful than ANY tronic!”
“This can’t be!” Luna shouted in horror.
“Because, my teammates are more than that! They’re my friends! And, they’re always there for me! And if one group of friends dies, the results could be disastrous!” Cozy said to them. “And, we work together! I never could've stopped you if I hadn't learned what the Rangers taught me about friendship!”
“You can’t beat alicorn magic!” Celestia boomed demonically. “Only they can use that sort of magic!”
“Yes, but you forget Celestia...I am a princess too!” Cozy said bravely. “And, it’s time to show you how powerful I am!” She hit her transporter. “TRANSPORT...BEAST-X KING BLASTER!” Her steering wheel Beast Bot partner appeared in wheel mode, and she converted it into blaster mode.
“You really think one more ranger is going to make a difference?” Cadence asked skeptically.
“Yes!” Cozy shot back. “Because, I have this!” She showed them her Beast-X King Blaster, and aimed it at the villains. “Time to even the score!”
“Whoa! Wow!” The rangers, and the others all whooped in excitement and surprise upon seeing what their friend was about to pull out on them.
The Divas and generals were shocked upon seeing this, and started to get scared. “Whoa! Look at that thing!” Zecora said in terror.
“Let’s get out of here!” Robo-Roxy said scared.
“Wait!” Robo-Blaze said both serious and stern. “You don’t have to tell me twice!” And they both teleported away, leaving only the divas alone to face the new ranger.
“Uh-oh!” Twilight said in shock. “My Robo-Buddies have bailed!”
“You ready, Rory?” Cozy asked her blaster partner.
“I’ve been ready for centuries!” Rory said, which confirmed his answer as yes.
“Bring it!” She said, as she aimed the blaster, and got a good target lock on them.
The Cosmic Divas knew they had to do something! “She’s about to fire!” Zecora said in shock.
“Do something!” Big Mac pressured her quickly.
“Mutate her, already!” Luna shouted, as they all readied their cosmic magic and fired the beams as one toward her.
“Oh no!” The heroes said in shock, as they were about to see their friend get mutated.
“BEAST-X KING ULTRA BLAST!” Cozy shouted, as she pulled her trigger, and the blaster revved up and fired at the cosmic magic blast. “FIRE!”
The two blasts collided in the middle, and so far, it was looking like it would be evenly matched, and one side would wind up withdrawing. The Cosmic divas had to amplify their attacks. “It’s caught in the middle!” Celestia growled, nervously.
“More power!” Twilight shouted as they used their magic to send their blast closer to the Black Ranger. However, Cozy wouldn’t give up that easily as she kept grunting to keep her blast alive. The cosmic blast was coming closer to her, and it looked like Cozy would lose, but she felt her Beast instincts kick in, and she felt a little spark in her eyes. She growled, and pulled her trigger even harder.
“NO!” She shouted furiously, as she sent her blast close to the villain divas, who tried to push their power over to her, but to no avail as Cozy kept pushing it toward them, unwilling to give up, and still going strong.
Finally, both blasts were once again caught in the middle. It looked like there would be no end to this battle, until Cozy kept firing from her blaster, and started to send the blasts toward the Diva’s way! The divas gasped in horror as they saw they blasts coming RIGHT toward them! They tried pushing their power back to give them the advantage.
As they pushed each other’s powers back, Cozy let out a chuckle. “Y’know Twilight, it’s been a long time since you and I have fought.” She said to them smugly. “You were the hero, and I was the villain, trying to steal all the magic from the Friendship school!” The blasts started to come closer toward the divas as they struggled to push back, but her powers kept coming closer, and closer! “This is similar to one of our earlier battles, only it’s a role reversal, Twilight!” The ranger roasted them. “Only, this time I’m the good guy, and you’re the bad guy! Strange, isn't it?”
The blast kept coming to the villains, and they felt like they were unable to push it back. Cozy seized this chance to use high power on her blaster, as she pulled the trigger, and fired. “Ha!” She shouted, as the blast was pushed toward the divas, and it was so powerful, that the blast hit them, overwhelming the villains, and sending them down and out for the count. An explosion happened in place of the Divas, as she turned to the fourth wall.
“And that’s how you get er done!” She said in triumph, as she left the explosive scene.
“Yeah!” Tempest said from afar, not too loud in relief upon seeing her victory of the diva group’s defeat.
Her friends ran up to her excitedly, and were amazed that she was able to take them all by herself. “Cozy that was phenomenal!” Nate said happily. “I can't believe you managed to do it all by yourself!”
“And you morphed into the Black Ranger!” Steel added. “That was incredible!”
Cozy blushed a little bit, as she waved her hand. “It was nothing really.” She said.
“Oh, but it isn't nothing, it's everything!” Rarity said, feeling proud at her.
“It was amazing!” Capper said excitedly as well.
“I agree!” Rainbow said, as she jumped in excitement. “No one's ever stood up to Cosmos or Twilight like that!”
“Oh, I just did what anypony would have done.” Cozy said with relief.
“We didn't know you could fight like that!” Scootaloo shouted, as she was smiling brightly.
“That was so cool!” Sweetie Belle said as well. “I mean...that heroic step you lept...we were almost done for, and then you saved us from plummeting to our doom!” She was so happy, that she could almost burst. “What an incredible feat!”
“Well, it's a funny story-” Cozy started to say, as they heard a combination of an angry yell and a snarl. They turned to see a few figures getting up from the heat of the explosion. Cozy and the others were shocked to find out Twilight and her subordinates were still alive. “What?” She asked in curiosity.
The divas were in a rage, as their manes were dishevelled, and there were a few scratches on their hooves. The star gems had a teeny crack in them, but were still intact. “Another wedding crasher?!” Twilight asked furiously as she and her subordinates got up.
“Why did we even bother with invitations?!?!” Celestia asked in shock, as all of their eyes went pink, and then white as a grotesquely coloured purple blur swirled around them.
“That doesn’t look good!” Starlight said in shock upon seeing this.
“What are they doing?!” Rainbow Dash asked in shock, getting scared. The blur kept swirling around the subordinates, until they were no longer seen, as only laughs by them could be heard in the distance.
“Whoa!” Nate said in surprise.
“No way!” Steel said as well. The tornado kept swirling higher, and higher until it was as high as a skyscraper. A claw could be seen coming out of it. Then, another claw, and then a fully coloured dragon/pony-like head, and then wings! It roared, as its arms were stretched out of the tornado. Then, it finally disappeared to reveal a multi-coloured giant Draconniqus...Cosmos!
Cosmos’s appearance towards the rangers was...different, than last time. She had a red pony-like face, and a zebra-coloured neck and torso. Her legs were red, and white on the bottom like Big Mac’s with a few stripes on her body similar to Zecora’s. She had navy blue arms, and claws as well as feathered dragon-like wings coloured like Luna’s coat was as well. She also now had a pony mane, coloured similar to Twilght and Cadence. She even had a tail, much similar to Celestia’s sea green flowing mane color.
However, what really stood out, was her armor. She had Royal regalia armor on her feet, her arms, her chest and even she had a crown on her head with multiple unicorn horns sticking out of it. She even had a few ears on both both sides of her head, and also earrings on her ears, like Zecora did. Also on her armor, she had a cosmic star gem built in on all 6 pieces.
She roared to the sky, and bent down to look at the heroes. She smiled evilly. “I’M NOT FINISHED YET, RANGERS!” She bellowed, as they all were shocked at her appearance.
“That’s Cosmos?” Devon asked, pointing up to her.
“Must be.” Ravi confirmed, judging by how they saw her. “By the looks of it!”
“Well, there’s something you don’t see everyday!” Spike said in agreement with Ravi.
“Whoa, she looks massive!” Steel said, pointing at her immense size.
“And, she looks like a fusion of all our friends!” Rainbow said horrified, “Not hard to put 2 and 2 together, Steel!”
“The tornado got them!” Zoey exclaimed.
“Right in the stars!” Capper said in surprise as well.
“It’s going from bad to worse!” Ben said in shock.
“Oh dear!” Starlight said, scared.
Discord saw her, and was scared and shocked at the same time. “I’d never thought I’d see the day.” He said with a calm tone, yet still feeling his emotion.
“Maybe, we should’ve recessed the situation, and took cover?!” Rarity shrieked at her frightful shape and ginormous size.
“You think?!” Nate asked, stressed as if they had enough problems to deal with already.
“Hello, Darling!” Cosmos said, softly as she started to lean over to Discord.
“Whoa!” Everyone all said, as they started to back away.
“Looks like you put on a few!” Nate said, pointing to her.
“Hey, you might want to try cutting out carbs!” Ben called out to her.
“Watch out!” Applejack said, as she was about to put her foot down on the team.
“Watch your step!” Cosmos laughed evilly, as everyone got out of the way of her giant feet.
They all regrouped, and it looked like this was going to be a little harder than they thought. “Guys, I think we’ve got ourselves some trouble!” Cozy said bravely and nervously.
“Big trouble!” Zoey said as well. Cosmos was back to her true form, but now mismatched of many ponies and other creatures. And the rangers and their allies needed to act fast and stop her, and even restore Twilight! But, they would have to do it quickly before it was too late.
