Ranger Down (The Rangers Return part 2)

前回、マイ·リトル·ポニーレンジャーズに (Last time, on My Little Pony Rangers...)
“Discord has escaped his stone prison.”
“Ah, you must be those Pony Rangers I’ve been hearing about.”
“How can this guy be so strong?”
“I hear you stole the powers you have. Mind if I... take them back?”
“Twilight’s down! We need to retreat!”
“Time to make some improvements to this one-horse town.”
そして今、結論 (And now, the conclusion.)

Twilight faded in and out of consciousness, though she was barely aware of a number of presences around her. She couldn’t clearly make out what they were saying as she faded back and forth between the worlds of the living and the dead, but she was aware that they were talking with much worry in their voices.
“Is she going to be okay?”
“What’s even wrong with her?”
“This is all my fault.”
“Is her face going to stay like that?”
After what felt like days, (though in reality it was only hours) Twilight could feel everything coming back to her, though it still felt like there were huge chunks missing. As Twilight’s sight returned, she could make out the faces of her friends hovering over her and watching with anticipation as she slowly came back. Before she was even mildly aware that she was even laying in a bed, Rainbow Dash rushed up and hugged the unicorn.
“Twilight!” Dash shouted as she hugged/strangled Twilight. “We’re so glad you’re okay. We were all sure you had... you know... left us.”
“Rainbow Dash,” Celestia said, walking into the small room, “it’s very rude to try to hug a pony to death immediately after they regain consciousness.”
Rainbow Dash quickly released Twilight, but her emotional expression remained the same. “What happened to me?” Twilight asked her mentor.
Celestia sighed and walked over to where her student was lying before answering. “To be honest, I wish I could tell you the truth. However, no matter how hard Luna and I try, we can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong with you. But now that you’re awake, we were hoping you could help us.”
“How could I help with figuring out what’s wrong with me if even you and Princess Luna can’t?”
“Because with your magic combined with that of your Ranger powers, your magical abilities nearly rival mine.”
Twilight could have sworn she felt herself blush a little when her own teacher told her that the student was actually on par with if not surpassing the master. “Well, okay,” the young unicorn finally said. She then used her magic to summon her Thunder Coin.
...
I said, she then used her magic to summon her Thunder Coin.
“What the hay?” Twilight asked, struggling to summon her Thunder Coin. Despite her best efforts, though, it wouldn’t appear. In fact, it felt to Twilight like there was nothing there for her to summon at all. “I don’t understand this.”
“You don’t understand what?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“The Thunder Coin isn’t appearing. It’s almost as though... It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, only harder for some reason.”
“Are ya sure it’s not more like trying to find a hay in a needle stack?” Pinkie asked. “That’s harder than the other way around and way more painful.”
Everypony looked at Pinkie with confused expressions for a moment before remembering that she was Pinkie. Finally, Rainbow Dash resumed the previous conversation. “Maybe because Discord stole your Thunder Coin and used some kind of spell to block your connection to it. Kind of like what that evil White Ranger did a few months back.”
Twilight looked at Dash with a confused expression for a moment. “What you said about Discord makes sense,” Twilight started, “but what are you talking about when you say ‘evil White Ranger’? I mean, I remember that the Grand Galloping Gala was a few months back, but I don’t recall anything about this White Ranger character.”
“What are you saying, Twilight? She came with a batch of other evil villains from a parallel universe. Hay, she was you from said parallel universe! Why don’t-”
Dash was about to continue, but Celestia stopped her. “I think I know what’s going on,” the alicorn said. She then turned to Twilight. “Rather than simply steal your Thunder Coin, Twilight, I think Discord completely severed your connection to the Morphin’ Grid.”
“What do you mean ‘severed her connection’?” Fluttershy asked.
“It works kind of like this: When you morph into a Pony Ranger for the first time, your spirit becomes connected to the Morphin’ Grid, which acts not only as the source of your Ranger powers, but as a massive library containing all history on all Ranger and Sentai activity throughout all worlds and universes.”
“What’s a ‘scent pie’?” Pinkie asked. “Is it a pie that smells really good? Ooh, that sounds delicious!”
“Sentai,” Celestia corrected. “Actually, it’s not important. What is important, however, is the fact that when those Rangers from the other world came to our world, they created an imbalance. They were missing from their universe and didn’t belong in ours. Had they stayed for much longer than they did, they would have caused both worlds to implode. That said, when they left, both worlds tried to correct themselves by reversing time to before the day they left their world and arrived in ours. This caused all damage, physical and temporal, to be reversed and all memories of and data pertaining to them to be deleted. However, since you six, as well as our computers, were connected to the Morphin’ Grid, everyone here, Spike and Luna included for some reason, remembered everything that happened over the three days they were here.
“However, since Twilight was forcibly removed from the Morphin’ Grid by Discord, she lost her memories of those three days and of all the visitors from that world, Ranger and otherwise.”
“So basically, all of that stems from ‘I’ve lost my Ranger powers’, right?” Twilight asked almost impatiently. She was used to lectures, but she felt her teacher simply went off on a tangent this time around.
“No,” Celestia continued. “It stems from ‘your connection to the Morphin’ Grid has been forcibly severed’, meaning that not only have you lost your Ranger powers and some of your memories... I’m afraid you may never morph again at all.”
All six of the ponies gasped in horror when Celestia said this. “What do you mean I’ll never morph again?” Twilight asked, panic evident in her voice. “Couldn’t I just recover the Thunder Coin somehow?”
“I’m afraid that’s out of the question, as well, my student. Since your connection was forcibly severed, it would be nearly impossible to re-establish it. And even if it were somehow re-established, it would be very unstable and it could result in the complete destruction of your body.”
Twilight looked down for a moment, doing her best to cope with this sudden change of events. This can’t be happening, she thought to herself. How am I supposed to fulfill my destiny if I’ll never be able to morph again? Just then, Luna walked in.
“We are sure thou are tired of hearing bad news by now,” the princess of the night said, “but we have something very important we need to show thee.”
“Hay, Luna,” Pinkie started, “how come you’re talking in your regular fan canon voice right now even though you were talking normally in the previous chapter?”
“We will answer thine question with another question: What powers does thee posses that allow thee to act so random?”
“Ah, Luna, I believe the answer to both of our questions are the same.” Pinkie then trotted over to another end of the room and removed a randomly placed curtain to reveal a green pegasus colt lying in another bed, typing on a laptop.
“Pinkie!” the startled colt shouted. “You weren’t supposed to break the fourth wall in this chapter!”
“So? It’s not like you’re the ruler of this world or something.”
“On the contrary...” The colt typed some stuff on his laptop and Pinkie suddenly started being dragged by her mane towards the other side of the room. “Now then, if you all would kindly leave...” The colt then typed some more stuff onto his laptop and then hit the ‘enter’ key.

A few minutes later, the Rangers, the princesses, and Twilight made their way into the computer room, where Spike was nervously waiting for them to show up. “There you ponies are,” Spike said. He then turned around and typed some stuff into the console. “Luna and I were monitoring Ponyville ever since you Rangers got back, and it’s not looking good.”
“How not good are things looking?” Rarity asked.
“We will put it simply for you,” Luna said. “Things have literally gone SNAFU since you Rangers left Ponyville.”
“Oh no!” Pinkie shouted. “I have just one question. What does SNAFU mean?”
“It means ‘Situation Now All Bucked Up’.”
“Don’t you mean ‘Situation Now All F-’” Twilight started to correct.
“Watch thine language, Twilight Sparkle,” Luna quickly (almost hurriedly) interrupted. “This fic is rated ‘everypony’, meaning it is supposed to be free of such language.”
“Fair enough.” Twilight then turned to Spike. “How SNAFU have things gotten, anyway?”
“Ah, there’s quite a list,” Spike said. “Almost as long as some of some of your checklists, in fact.” Spike laughed to himself for a moment, but nopony else there seemed that impressed with the baby dragon’s joke, so he simply cleared his throat and continued. “Ahem. Anyway, Discord’s certainly had fun with Ponyville. The ground has been turned into a massive checkerboard, there are clouds of cotton candy raining chocolate milk, several buildings are floating in the air, flying pies, ballet buffalos, et cetera; and the worst part is that it’s starting to spread all over Equestria.”
“Is Canterlot going to suffer a similar fate of chaos?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“No,” Celestia answered. “Luna and I have cast a protective spell that should protect Canterlot from Discord’s magic. However, even our magic can’t hold out forever against Discord’s power, which means the five remaining Rangers need to get to Ponyville and defeat Discord before he overtakes all of Equestria.”
“Well what do y’all expect us to do, Princess?” Applejack asked. “I don’t know if you were takin’ another one of your power naps over the past day, but Discord was tossin’ us around worse than a rattler shakes its tail!”
“Actually, I might be able to help with that part,” Twilight said. She then trotted over to the console and shooed Spike away. She then used her magic to pull up several windows on the huge screen at the front of the room where Celestia’s time warp used to be. “I may not be able to assist you as a Ranger anymore, but I can still offer you these.”
“What are they?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“These are a few little things I like to call the Weapons of Harmony. I can’t quite remember what prompted me to make them, but I’m sure it had something to do with those Rangers from another world.”
“I’ll go ahead and explain your reasoning for you, seeing as I had a hoof in making these weapons as well,” Rarity said, stepping forward. “You see, when those otherworldly Rangers came to our world, they had weapons that granted them power that rivaled ours rather well. This made Twilight realize that if we’re ever going to have a chance against ever-strengthening threats, we need to increase our own power. The first step of this process was designing these new, albeit horrendous, uniforms. This granted us increased power on its own, but that was just so our bodies would become accustomed to greater amounts of power than before.”
“Thanks, Rarity,” Twilight said. “I can fill in the rest of it from here. Anyway, only recently have our powers reached their peak, but the Weapons of Harmony still weren’t quite ready for testing, yet.” Twilight sighed and looked down before continuing. “I guess it would have been in my better interest to test them in that previous battle, but...” Twilight shook her head and turned back to the Rangers. “But it doesn’t matter. I had a good run, but I’m just gonna have to face the fact that I was never really meant to be a Ranger. My place is in the science behind your powers. And right now, it’s time to introduce you to the greatest fruits of my efforts yet.” Twilight then typed some stuff into the console.
“I’ll list off each of your individual weapons one by one. First off, Applejack, your weapon will be the Harmony Lance.” The screen focused on the Harmony Lance. It looked kind of like a blue staff with blades on either end. It had two circular handles towards the center, possibly for Applejack to hold it in her hooves rather than her mouth. “An interesting feature I decided to include in your Harmony Lance is that it is capable of splitting down the middle to create two separate blades that you can use to attack in different directions.
“Next up is Fluttershy. For you, I created the Harmony Daggers.” On the screen, the Harmony Daggers came into focus. What they were were a pair of yellow daggers with circular handles on each hilt. As well, it seemed like the blades themselves were capable of pivoting a little bit on their hilts. “Rarity and I designed these with ease of motion in mind, so they should be easy for you to incorporate into your graceful fighting style.
“For Pinkie Pie, I created the Harmony Bow.” On screen, a simple looking bow with an arrow already loaded in it appeared. It had one handle at the center and two on the far edges of the weapon for melee attacks. “At first, I was planning on giving you a simpler weapon like a shield, (for reasons that I’m sure would come up if I still had that one part of my memory) but after seeing you use that party cannon at the Gala, I realized that a ranged weapon would be the best fit for you and immediately changed the design.
“Rarity, since you’re the only other unicorn on the team, I thought it would be best to give you a heavier duty weapon for you to wield with your magic. Thus, I give you the Harmony Axe.” On the screen appeared a large and heavy-looking black axe. While it was designed for Rarity to hold it with her magic, there were still hoof-holds on the hilt. “Even if wielding it with your magic proves difficult, it is made of an incredibly lightweight material, so holding it with your hooves won’t be a challenge.
“Finally, we come to Rainbow Dash. Since your fighting style mostly involves speed, one of the things I absolutely needed to do was make your weapon light-weight and very well-balanced. That said, you shall receive the Harmony Sword.” The screen focused on a simple-looking red sword with a circular handle on the hilt. “As the leader of the team, I felt it was only natural that your weapon be the lightest and strongest of them all.
“Now I have granted you five the strongest powers I can provide for you. With these weapons, you shall go forth and defeat even the mightiest of your foes!”
All five of the Rangers stood there for a moment, taking in everything Twilight said and showed them. Finally, Rainbow Dash spoke up. “Those... are truly awesome!”
“I’ll agree with ya there, Dash,” Applejack added.
“That actually wasn’t my final design for the Harmony Axe, but I like it anyway,” Rarity commented.
“Whee!” Pinkie shouted. “My Harmony Bow looks like fun!”
“Yay,” Fluttershy quietly said.
“Looks like everypony’s in agreement,” Rainbow Dash said. “Now let’s get down to Ponyville and show Discord a thing or two!”
“Hang on, Dash,” Twilight said. “Don’t forget that this is their first actual non-simulated test, so be careful with them.”
“We will, Twilight. Just teleport us down there and we’ll take care of the rest.”
“Alright.”
“Good luck, my little ponies,” Celestia said. “This may be your last chance to defeat Discord before he becomes too powerful to stop, so this battle will truly determine the fate of Equestria.”
“We’ll do our best, Princess,” Rainbow Dash said. The prismatic pegasus then turned back to Twilight. “We’re ready.”
“Best of luck to you, Rangers,” Twilight said. She then stepped back as her horn began to glow with energy. As the Rangers readied themselves, Twilight’s horn flared and the five ponies were gone. “I really wish I could have done more... in the time I was with you.”

Meanwhile, in the chaotic land that was once Ponyville, the five Rangers landed just outside the library, which, amazingly, seemed untouched by Discord’s magic. (Though possibly from lack of trying.) Rainbow Dash quickly snapped upright and surveyed the chaotic landscape. “You’ve gotta wonder something about this Discord guy,” the pegasus finally said after a while. “What is his real goal amid all this chaos?”
“Who cares?” Dash heard Pinkie say. When everypony looked at Pinkie Pie, they found her standing underneath a cotton candy cloud that was pouring chocolate milk right into her mouth. “Anypony who makes chocolate rain is a friend of mine.”
“Focus, Pinkie,” Applejack said. “We need find and stop Discord before it’s too late.”
“And found me, you have, my little Pony Rangers,” Discord said as he flew in from just over a nearby hill. All five of the Rangers quickly regrouped and stood battle-ready against the draconequus.
“Discord,” Rainbow Dash said. “We’re ready for you, this time.” All five of the Rangers then pulled out their morphers and placed them around their necks. “IT’S MORPHIN’ TIME!”
“ELEMENT OF HONESTY!”
“ELEMENT OF KINDNESS!”
“ELEMENT OF LAUGHTER!”
“ELEMENT OF GENEROSITY!”
“ELEMENT OF LOYALTY!”
“Harmony Force, Ranger Blue!”
“Harmony Force, Ranger Yellow!”
“Harmony Force, Ranger Pink!”
“Harmony Force, Ranger Black!”
“Harmony Force, Ranger Red!”
“From all of us together, we fight as one! We protect one another until the battle is done! WE ARE THE PONY RANGERS: HARMONY FORCE!” All five of the Rangers struck less battle-ready and more camera-ready poses as a glorious explosion erupted behind them.
“Ugh,” Discord groaned. “Not this again. I was sure you little ponies had learned your lesson last time, but it seems I’m gonna have to beat that lesson back into you. But first, meet some new friends of mine. PUTTY PONIES, ATTACK!” Discord snapped his fingers and a few dozen Putty Ponies appeared between him and the Rangers.
“I guess now’s as good a time as any to try them out,” Rainbow Dash said to the other Rangers. The other four nodded in reply, all of them obviously smiling beneath their helmets.
“Try what out?” an impatient Discord asked. “What are you ponies planning.”
Rainbow Dash turned back to Discord and chuckled a little. “Ah, Discord... Did you really think we went into this battle unprepared?” Rainbow Dash then raised her right hoof to the sky, followed by the other four. “DRAW, WEAPONS OF HARMONY!” They all then pointed their hooves to the left and waved them in front of themselves from left to right in one quick motion. As their hooves crossed their chests, there was a flash of light in each of their respective colors. When the light faded, in each of their hooves were their respective Weapons of Harmony.
“Harmony Lance!” Applejack shouted, backflipping into a two-legged stance and holding her Lance in her forehooves.
“Harmony Daggers!” Fluttershy shouted, hovering just above the ground and waving her Daggers around her hooves, showing off how easily she could wield them.
“Harmony Bow!” Pinkie shouted, bouncing up into a two-legged stance while using one forehoof to hold her Bow and another to hold the tail end of an arrow.
“Harmony Axe!” Rarity shouted, getting up on her hind legs and using her forehooves to hold the Axe. One hoof was on the hilt of the Axe while the other was closer to the head to provide stability.
“Harmony Sword!” Rainbow Dash shouted, doing a spin into the air and quickly coming out of it with her Sword aimed right at the Putty Ponies and the rest of her body in an upright position.
“Oh, would you look at that,” Discord said mockingly. “The little ponies have new toys to play with. Do you really think those are supposed to scare me? PUTTIES, ATTACK!” Discord then cast his hand forward, signaling for the Putties to charge.
“Twilight said these weapons hadn’t been tested yet,” Rainbow Dash said to herself. She then turned back to the other Rangers. “Well what are we waiting for? Let’s test these for her, already!” The others nodded and all five of them charged into battle against the Putty Ponies. (Because I know some ponies are going to give me crap about this, Dash and Fluttershy are obviously flying and the other three have their weapons held in their belts along the sides of their bodies while they gallop into battle so they can easily reach them and attack in one fluid motion when they get to where they’re galloping to. Happy?)
Applejack quickly flipped and drew her Lance, landing right in the middle of a small group of Putties. She quickly spun around, striking several Putties with her Lance, then brought her Lance around to strike an advancing group of four Putties down. She then split her Lance in two and leapt to strike down two more Putties that were trying to jump her.
Fluttershy was truly showing off how easily she could manipulate her Daggers. She moved with great ease through her group of Putties, striking, slicing, and stabbing every single one in her way as though it were no effort at all. It was as though having a weapon in her hooves penetrated her regular barrier of shyness and unleashed a true warrior that was lying dormant for the past year.
Though Pinkie wasn’t a pegasus, she was using the air to her advantage. Before any Putties could reach her, she would bounce up into the air, draw her Bow, and rain glowing pink arrows down upon the Putties. When she was actually keeping her hooves on the ground and not cheating or haxing, she was using her Bow as what would probably be a close analogy to a steel bat as she swung at the Putties and possibly broke several of their necks.
As massive as the Harmony Axe was, Rarity was wielding it with incredible grace. Though she decided to wield it in her hooves rather than with her magic, she was still mowing down Putties left and right. Of course part of its ease of use was the lightweight material it was made from, but another part of it was her natural ironic skill in combat. (It’s ironic because she’s so lady-like. Shut up.)
Rainbow Dash was certainly using speed to her advantage. She would quickly fly into a group of Putties, strike several of them with her sword, and then be back above their heads before even the Putties who got hit realized what happened.
In a matter of minutes, all of the Putty Ponies were defeated and the Rangers had barely even broken a sweat. “Twilight said these weapons would give us power,” Rainbow Dash started, “but man... that was just ridiculous! I’m not complaining or anything, I’m just saying...”
Discord just stood there for a moment, looking around at what was practically fields of downed Putty Ponies. “Well,” he said to himself, “I must admit that I never expected things to turn out quite like this. Oh well.” After he said this, his voice got a hint of sarcasm. “I suppose such is the fate of those who threaten harmony in Equestria, and now it is time for me to follow suit.” He then materialized a pair of large sunglasses and donned them. “I am ready to be defeated, Pony Rangers. Fire whatever you have whenever you are ready.” Discord then waved his hand across his chest and a large bullseye appeared.
“Rangers,” Twilight said over comm.
“Go ahead, Twilight,” Rainbow Dash replied.
“The Weapons of Harmony can combine to create a powerful weapon that’s sure to destroy Discord. Assemble all of your weapons to create the Elemental Cannon.”
“Elemental Cannon?” Pinkie asked. “Sounds like a cheesy name if you’d ask me.”
Just then, the same colt who appeared back in Canterlot popped his head out of a nearby bush. “Yeah, well, it’s the name you got, Pinkie,” he said. He then disappeared back into the bush.
“I’m going to pretend that didn’t just happen,” Rainbow Dash said. She then turned back to the Rangers. “Alright, let’s go for it. ELEMENTAL CANNON, FORM!” All five of the Rangers then cast their weapons into the sky, where each one proceeded to turn into a beam of light each in their respective colors.
The Harmony Bow stopped in midair and became the base of the cannon. The Harmony Sword then came up and took the position of the arrow. The Harmony Axe attached to the top side of the Sword to form a larger blade end of the arrow. The two halves of the Harmony Lance then set themselves on either side of where the Sword and Axe were and the Harmony Daggers proceeded to set themselves on the far ends of the Harmony Bow, each one next to a part of the Harmony Lance. The completed Elemental Cannon then descended into the hooves of the five Rangers. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy held the forward end of the Cannon, Rarity and Applejack kept the midsection steady, and Rainbow Dash stood behind the Cannon, ready to give the “fire” command.
“Elemental Cannon, ready!” the Rangers shouted in unison as they aimed the massive weapon at Discord.
“You’re in for it now, Discord,” Rainbow Dash said as she began to charge the Cannon, followed by the other four Rangers.
“ELEMENTAL CANNON, FIRE!” the Rangers shouted in unison as they unleashed a massive ball of concentrated energy right at Discord, who had less time than he expected to have to feign damage before disappearing in a fake explosion.
After Discord disappeared, the world around the Rangers began to glow in a flash of white light. After it died down, Ponyville and the rest of Equestria returned to its normal state of peace and harmony. The Rangers then began erupting in cheers of “We did it!” and “All right!” and “Yay!”
“Well that wasn’t so hard,” Pinkie said after all the cheering died down. “Still, doesn’t mean it’s not call for a PARTY!” Just then, their comms went off again.
“Rangers,” Celestia said on the other line, “I understand that you think this is call for celebration, but you must return to Canterlot immediately. There is something very important we must discuss.”
“Aw, man,” Pinkie said. “This is the exact same thing as what happened this time last year. We totally pwn the bad guy and we’re about to celebrate, but Celestia has to call us back to Canterlot before we can get the party started.”
“You know I never disconnected, right?”
“Oh, uh...” Without another word, Pinkie shut off her comm and turned back to the Rangers. “Yeah, let’s go back to Canterlot.”

Back on the moon base, Discord appeared in the center of the room, his mane partially charred from the blast from the Elemental Cannon. “You ran away?” an angry sounding Trixie shouted as she galloped into the room. “The Great and Powerful Trixie cuts into her own spa time to free the ‘great spirit of chaos and disharmony,’ thinking that he’ll be able to defeat the Pony Rangers once and for all, only to find that he’s a coward!?”
“How dare you address me that way,” Discord said to the magician. “For your information, I was not running away like a coward. I was simply accepting that I’ve had my fun for the time being. Once I regain the other 90% of my power that remains imprisoned, I’ll show those Pony Rangers true pain. But for now, I will admit that I am too weak to cause any serious damage. The most I could do would be snap my fingers and banish them to the furthest reaches of space, never to return... but what fun would that be?” Discord cackled maniacally before returning to his ‘I’m totally annoyed by Trixie’ state. (Which, as ironic as it isn’t, everypony seems to have one of.) “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to re-groom my mane.” Discord then stormed out of the room.

Back at Canterlot, Twilight and the Rangers were going over the footage of their recent battle with Discord under Celestia’s order. As Twilight got to the point just before the Cannon hit Discord, she noticed something fairly saddening. “You were right, Princess,” the unicorn said to her mentor. “It looks like he did teleport away before the Rangers had a chance to finish him.”
“So what does that mean?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Are we gonna have to go hoof to, uh, claw with that guy again?”
“Not anytime soon,” Celestia said. “You obviously showed that you were capable of defeating him had you done any more damage, but I’m afraid that was only because he is in a weakened state following his recent freedom. I’m afraid he won’t be showing his face again anytime soon, and in that time he will be regenerating the rest of his power.”
“So then what are we supposed to do about it?” Twilight asked.
“The same thing you Rangers have done for the past year. Keep Equestria safe from any threat that shows its muzzle. And in that time, you will just have to continue to improve your abilities until the day arrives that Discord decides to return.”
“I wish I could help you Rangers,” Twilight said. “I really do.”
“What are you talking about?” Rainbow Dash asked, trotting up to Twilight and putting her hoof over the unicorn’s shoulder. “You’ve helped us in way more ways than just alongside us in combat. Hay, we never would have made it past the first time Trixie attacked if it weren’t for you getting us back on track after Celestia’s disappearance. Even if you aren’t a Ranger, you’re a valuable part of our team.” Dash then stepped back and held her hoof out in front of Twilight. Twilight, with a smile on her face and a tear in her eye, placed her own hoof on Rainbow Dash’s. The other four Rangers then added their own hooves to the circle, followed by the hooves of Celestia and Luna and Spike’s hand. “From all of us together, we fight as one.”
“We protect one another until the battle is done!” everypony shouted in unison as they all raised their hooves into the air. “We’re all in this together, for harmony and for Equestria!”

Next time...

“So what was the good news, Princess?”
“With Luna and I here in Canterlot again, we’ve decided that you and Spike can move to Ponyville to be closer to your friends.”
“Welcome to the neighborhood, Twilight.”
“The only way I’ll recover my power is if you go down there and cause some chaos in my absence.”
“We had Twilight to beat you last time, but we’re ready for you this time!”
“It’s out with the old and in with the new... and the same goes for the Pony Rangers.”
次回、 「Moving In」 あ楽しみに! (Next time: “Moving In” Enjoy!)
