A Really Awkward Morning

BONUS:MLPR Sneak Peak 1

(This is a sneak preview of one scene from Pony Rangers: The Final Battle, which will take place after the fifth season, though The Final Battle technically isn’t a season itself. There will be some of it that will make NO SENSE AT ALL and that is supposed to happen. Again, this is not necessarily at the beginning of the fic, just the middle. Now, here’s your out-of-context sneak preview.)

All 28 Pony Rangers stood in front of a small makeshift stage where they were supposed to be given a speech and a briefing of why they were summoned. They were talking amongst each other, asking questions and many yeilding no answers before Time Turner took the stage above the Rangers. “Everypony settle down,” he called to the other Rangers, who all instantly got quiet and paid close attention. “Good. Now, allow me introduce myself. My name is Time Turner, Red Time Force Pony Ranger. Second Red Time Force Ranger, actually. In a few minutes, The Doctor, who is the first Red Time Force Ranger, will appear in the TARDIS and give you a proper briefing on why he summoned you all here to this spot at this time.” After Time Turner finished speaking, a pair of orange hooves shot up into the air. “Yes, Applejack. Uh, either one.”
The Applejack with a hat spoke first. “Do you know why we’re here?” she asked.
“Not really. All The Doctor told me was that there was going to be a huge battle here and we needed every single Ranger who ever existed for it.”
The Applejack without a hat asked her question next. “Who exactly is this ‘Doctor’ you’re talkin’ about?” she asked.
Time Turner was about to reply, but a noise behind him stopped him. “Ah. You can go ahead and ask him yourself. He’s here.” Time Turner stepped aside as a strange blue box faded in and out of view slowly, making a whirring sound that seemed to be doing the same thing, before becoming solid before all the ponies. At the top of the box in white letters were ‘Police Public Call Box’. Right after the box became solid, the door on it opened and out stepped what appeared to be a human in a brown coat, black pants, and a bow tie. The human adjusted his bow tie and stepped forward to speak to the Rangers.
“‘Ello, everypony,” the man said in a british accent. “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m The Doctor, as I’m sure my friend Time Turner here explained. Like him, I’m a Time Lord, so don’t go around thinking that I’m a human. Unlike Time Turner, however, I’m from a planet called Gallafrey. Don’t go looking for it in the night sky, any of you three ‘Twilight Sparkle’ ponies. It’s long dead and it would be far from Equestria, anyway. Far out of view.
“But that’s enough with formallities. Time to get on with what I shoved you all into that box over there and brought you here for. Equestria is in peril unlike anything any of you have ever seen before. Beyond anything I’ve ever seen before, even. All of your old villains, Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, and Trollzar the Ever Trollin’, have all been resurrected by my oldest foe, The Master. Now, The Master is another Time Lord, but he’s far from anything like me or Time Turner. He is a being of pure evil. He once turned every single human on Earth into a clone of himself. I beat him then, but he’s gone way further than that, this time around.” (Actually, I don’t think I ever saw ‘The End of Time’ all the way through. Though a friend told me that was David Tennant’s last episode.) “He’s put together an army of the most dangerous living things in existence, the Daleks. Dangerous and vengeful creatures who pilot killer robots that have nearly been the end of me time and time again. The Master’s got to have at least a thousand of them as well as all your old foes.” The Doctor paused for a moment as he noticed many of the ponies before him shifting around nervously. “Don’t worry, my little ponies. (He turned to Time Turner and added “No offense, but that’s just so fun to say.”) Daleks may seem invincible by most means of combat. In fact, the basic rule of thumb (“Again, no offence intended. It’s just a human expression.”) is to never fight a Dalek, even a single one. However, Daleks never have to contend with creatures of as much power as you Pony Rangers. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Now, The Master and his army will be here in...” The Doctor paused to check his watch. “About ten minutes. Any questions? Anypony? Twilight? Alicorn Twilight? Cyborg Twilight? Come on, I was counting on questions from you three. What about you, Princess Luna? Young Princess Luna? Ms. Faust, I’m sure you have something to ask. No?” The Doctor threw his hands into the air and turned to Time Turner. “You’ve got a pretty tough crowd, here.” The Doctor then turned around and started walking towards the TARDIS. “If anypony needs me, I’ll be in here gathering everypony’s morphers.” He entered the TARDIS and shut the door, leaving Time Turner to commandeer the stage once again.
Time Turner cleared his throat and began speaking. “Isn’t he an eternity’s worth of laughs?” he asked with a chuckle. “It’s funny because he’s a... time traveler. Ahem. Anyway, believe me when I say, this battle will be a piece of cake if you just keep fighting, never give up, and for the love of Celestia,” (He paused to indicate Celestia in the crowd.) “don’t underestimate the Daleks. They’re much more dangerous than the tin cans they seem to be.” Just then, The Doctor came out of the TARDIS with his arms full of all the ponies morphers.
“Here ya go, everypony,” The Doctor said. “Everypony’s in this battle. Not a single one left out.” He then tossed all the morphers into the crowd, each one of which seemed to easily land in the hooves of their respective owners. “Now then, The Master should be arriving in about...” The Doctor paused to check his watch again. “Oh, any minute now. Right over there.” He pointed out in the distance where it did seem like something was gathering in large numbers. “There they are,” The Doctor said, his voice getting lower. “The Daleks and The Master.”
“Nightmare,” Rainbow Dash said to herself.
“Discord,” Scootaloo said.
“Chrysalis,” Alicorn Twilight said.
“Sombra,” Time Turner said.
“Trollzar,” Firefly said.
“Everything I’ve been trying to avoid this whole time,” Lauren Faust said.
The Doctor jumped over the ponies and onto the ground between the ponies and the Daleks. “Get ready, everypony,” The Doctor said, readjusting his bow tie. “The new time war has begun.”

(Keep following MLPR and maybe some of this will start to make sense. I might post more sneak peaks, I might not.)
