It was a quiet day in Ponyville. A cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail was flying though the air, clearing up the sky. She had just finished and was heading to Sugarcube Corner to meet up with the rest of her friends. The pegasus’s name was Rainbow Dash, and she was the fastest flyer in Equestria. Of course she didn't let it get to her head. Ok maybe a little bit. She walked into Sugarcube Corner and spotted her friends. One was an earth pony that was orange with a yellow mane and tail that was tied at the ends. She had three apples on her flank. There was another earth pony next to her, but this one was pink with a darker pink mane and tail. She had three balloons, two of which were blue and one was yellow as her cutie mark. Next to her was a pegasus like Rainbow, but this one was yellow with a lighter pink mane and tail. She had three pink butterflies on her flank. And next to her, a pony that was different from all of them. She was white with a purple mane and tail. Three diamonds on her flank. Unlike the others, she had a horn. Their respective names were AppleJack the apple farmer, Pinkie Pie the party pony, Fluttershy the shy pegasus, and Rarity the gem hunter.
"Hey girls!” Rainbow said as she walked up to them. "How’s it going?"
"Glad ya made, sugarcube," Applejack said as Rainbow took a seat.
"So, are you done with clearing the sky?" Pinkie asked.
"Sure. At least until Ponyville needs another cloudless sky," Rainbow replied.
"It’s nice for some of Celestia's sun. We been having too many cloudy days," Rarity said.
"True," Rainbow agreed.
Then the Cakes walked up to them, carrying their cupcakes to them.
"Here you go girls. Five cupcake treats on the house!" Mr. Cake said as he handed them the cupcakes.
"Thanks Mr. Cake," the mares said.
Yes sir, that was their life. But what they didn't know was that today, their lives would change forever.
Deep in space on the moon, there sat a strange moon rock. Why was it strange? Though the rest of the moon had a grey color to it, this rock was black with a blue glow. The glow started to fade before it exploded. When the dust from the explosion cleared, four creatures stepped out. First was a griffon named Gilda. Next to her was a unicorn that was cyan with a white mane and a wand on her flank. Her name was Trixie- eh sorry, The Great and Powerful Trixie. Next was a Zebra that had golden rings around her hooves. Her name was Zecora. Finally the last one out was another unicorn. This was a stallion, and he was grey with a black mane and tail and a sword and shield on his flank. His name was Fighter.
"At long last! We're free!" Gilda shouted flipping her wings.
"Trixie glad to be out once more!" Trixie agreed.
"Yes, free at last, who though time will move so fast?" Zecora said in rhythm.
"My queen wake up! We're free!" Fighter said calling into the black moon stone.
Soon another pony stepped out, but this one was black with a glowing blue mane and tail that almost matched the night sky around her. She had a blue spot on her flank with a crescent moon. She had a horn and wings. She also had different parts of armor on her hooves, crest, and head. There was also a crown on her head. She was Nightmare Moon, the evil Princess of the Night.
"AH! After 1,000 years I'm free!" she said in a wicked voice.
"Yes, but it felt like we were in there for a few minutes." Gilda said.
"Trixie is glad. Now we can finally continue our plan. Right Nightmare Moon?" Trixie asked her queen of the night.
"Yes, Trixie, that is right! We'll head back to the base and then Zecora, you can start to make Putty Ponies," Nightmare Moon said.
"Of course my queen, Equestria will fall by all means," Zecora said.
Nightmare Moon laughed evilly before turning to look up at Equestria and saying, "I'm back, dear sister."
The five mares had just finished their cupcakes and were now helping Pinkie with work around the sweets shop. Pinkie basically lived and work there. The Cakes were also basically like family to her. Rarity was busy making sure the table were sparkly clean. AppleJack and Rainbow Dash were carrying trays to Mrs. Cake for her to clean. Fluttershy was helping Mrs. Cake with the cleaning. The day went on as if nothing happened, but it didn't last long. Then all of a sudden everything started to shake. The trays fell to the floor and the ponies tried to grab hold of something.
"What going on?!" Fluttershy yelled.
"An Earthquake?!" Applejack asked.
Meanwhile in a castle far away from Ponyville, a baby dragon was running around shouting, "An Earthquake! We are finished! Done for!"
A pony that had a horn and wings stepped into the light. She was white with a three color mane and tail. She had a sun on her flank. She was Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria. She walked up to the dragon and knew this was no normal earthquake.
"Spike, this is no earthquake. It’s Nightmare Moon. She escaped her prison and is attacking Equestria," she said.
"WHAT?!" Spike shouted.
"I must bring five highly skilled and over emotional ponies," she said. “They may be our only hope.”
"No! Anything but teenage ponies!" Spike shouted.
"There is no other choice," Celestia said as her horn began to glow.
Back at Sugarcube Corner, all the ponies had escaped outside, hoping to get somewhere safe, but Rainbow and her friends were still in when they felt something.
"What going on now?" Pinkie asked.
"I don't know!" Rarity replied.
"I can't move my wings!" Rainbow said.
"Oh my!" Fluttershy said quietly.
"What in tarnation?!" Applejack shouted.
Then they were beamed out in five colors of light. Rarity was black, Pinkie was pink, Applejack was blue, Fluttershy was yellow, and Rainbow was red. They were sent flying through the air for some time before landing in a heap somewhere in Canterlot Castle.
“Where are we?" Rarity asked.
"I don't know," Rainbow replied as they got up.
They walked forward a bit before coming to a room that had a throne in it.
"Now I think I know," Rainbow said, changing her last answer.
"Welcome, my little ponies," said a voice that caused all of them, except Fluttershy, to stand on defense.
"Do not fear. You are safe," Celestia said as she walked into view.
"Who are you?" Fluttershy ask peeking out from behind Applejack.
"I am Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria. But Equestria is in trouble and I bought the five of you here to save it," she said.
"Well, it’s nice to hear that the Princess is around, but us saving Equestria? HA! You’ve been protecting it on your own so far," Applejack said.
Rainbow Dash, on the other hoof, was wondering what it all meant.
"A non-believer, huh? Well look at this and it will rid of your doubts," Celestia said as she held up her horn to show the five ponies a vision.
The mares saw a black alicorn along with four other creatures. Celestia turned to them.
"This is Nightmare Moon, an alicorn that has a plan of making the night last forever. Her henchmens are Gilda, a griffon that side with her a long time ago, Trixie, a unicorn that was once a citizen before she decided to serve under Nightmare, Zecora, a zebra with mysterious power that can make Putty Ponies and powerful monsters, and Fighter, another unicorn that is a skilled fighter as his name suggests and was once captain of the royal guard," Celestia said.
"So why choose us to stop these guys?" Fluttershy asked.
"I have chosen you five to wield five powerful artifacts and control powerful machines called Dinozords," Celestia said.
"Dinozords?" Pinkie repeated.
Then, the five mares watched as a small purple and green dragon walk into the room holding a box. He turn them and smile.
"Yes, inside this box lay the very same artifacts, the Elements of Harmony," Celestia said.
"By the way, I'm Spike," the dragon said before opening the box.
Before anypony could say anything, Celestia took out five necklaces that had a gem on each. An orange apple, a pink butterfly, a blue balloon, a purple diamond, and a red lightning bolt. Celestia placed each one on the mares.
"These will give you have the power to fight off Nightmare’s forces. When in danger, raise your element into the sky call the name that you each hold," Celestia said.
The mares look at them before looking back up at Celestia.
"Applejack, your natural strength and integrity makes you a skilled combatant. You will become the Blue Ranger and command the Element of Honesty, as well as the Triceratops zord."
A bright blue light emitted from AppleJack's Element, engulfing her whole body and giving her blue full body armor with a black visor on the face.
"Fluttershy, caring and quiet, but willing to do what needs to be done to protect those who cannot protect themselves. You will become the Yellow Ranger and command the Element of Kindness, as well as the Sabre-Tooth Tiger zord."
The same thing that happened to Applejack happened to Fluttershy, except it was a yellow light that emitted from her Element and her armor was yellow as well.
"Pinkie Pie, optimistic and, while just plain random, always there to help when help is needed most. You will become the Pink Ranger and command the Element of Laughter, as well as the Pterodactyl zord."
Pinkie's armor was pink, only slightly darker than the normal color of her coat.
"Rarity, while not exactly a fan of getting your hooves dirty, you have the charity to give anything that may be needed at the drop of a hat. You will become the Black Ranger and command the Element of Generosity, as well as the Mastodon zord."
Rarity's armor was a deep black, completely contrasting her white coat.
"And Rainbow Dash, fearless and devoted, you will become the Red Ranger, leader of the Rangers, and command the Element of Loyalty, as well as the Tyrannozord."
Rainbow Dash's armor was a bright red that truly said 'leader'.
"When you are in danger, wear your Elements of Harmony and call them out by name to gain the power held within the Morphin' Grid. With the power of the Elements of Harmony and the power of the zords in your hooves, you will protect Equestria from evil as a powerful team known to one and all as the Pony Rangers."
After Celestia explained each and every one of their powers, Applejack gave an annoyed huff and said, "Morphin' Grid? Dinozords? I thank ya kindly for the Elements ‘n all, but I think I need to get going. Gotta check up on my family."
"I'm with AppleJack on this one, but it was nice meeting you Princess," Rarity said as she walked off after AppleJack.
Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash stayed behind.
"Hey! Y’all coming?" Applejack called out.
Pinkie and Fluttershy walked after their friends, but Rainbow stayed behind thinking some more.
"Hey! Rainbow!" Applejack called out.
"Yeah?" Rainbow answered.
"Let's go!" Applejack called back to her.
"Yeah, sure," Rainbow said. She looked at the Princess for a second longer before following her friends.
"Very well. May the Elements guide you," Celestia said as the ponies left.
"Well, that didn't go very well," Spike said.
Outside the mares saw that they were no longer in Ponyville, and Rarity was the first to notice where they were.
"This is Canterlot! We been brought to Canterlot!" Rarity said with joy.
"So how do we get back home?" Fluttershy asked.
"There got to be a train station near by. Come on," Applejack said as she lead the way.
Rainbow was thinking about what Celestia said. There was no way the princess could bring five ponies into her castle and then ask them to fight off evil. But the more she thought about it the more real it became.
Meanwhile on the moon, Nightmare Moon and her four minions had quickly settled back into their old lunar base.
"Ah," Gilda said, sniffing the air. "It's good to be back."
"Don't get too comfortable," Nightmare Moon said, looking out upon Equestria. "We still have a job to do, destroy Celestia and conquer Equestria."
Nightmare Moon then turned to Zecora, who was hard at work at a strange furnace-like machine, molding lumps of clay and placing them into press molds shaped like ponies.
"Are those Putty Ponies ready yet, Zecora?" she asked.
"These Putties will take some time," Zecora said, not really looking up from her work. "However, there is some news that may be worth your eye."
Zecora indicated the screen at the far end of the room. On the screen were the Pony Rangers walking away from Canterlot.
"Who are these five mares?" Nightmare Moon asked, genuinely interested.
"They are Celestia's new Pony Rangers, and they could pose a particular danger."
"Pony Rangers?" Fighter asked, walking into the room. "Heh, They wouldn't be a problem."
"You should not underestimate the Elements of Harmony," Trixie said in the corner of the room, seeming to come out of a meditation.
She pointed to the necklaces on their necks as Nightmare Moon look in shock.
"They were the very power that sealed Nightmare Moon and the four of us here on the moon. They could make short work of you, Fighter, unless you have some hoof soldiers with you. Namely, Zecora's Putty Ponies," Trixie added.
"Humph! Please, the Elements used to work for Celestia and those five mares are trusted with their power? They won't even get a chance to use them," Fighter said ignoring Trixie’s warning.
"Very well. Take some of Zecora's Putty Ponies,” Nightmare Moon said before turning to Equestria. "Prepare yourselves, little ponies, You nightmare is here."
The five Mares walked out of Canterlot after discovering that the trains won't be coming until after the damage caused by the earthquake was checked. Rainbow flew behind the group, thinking on what the Princess told her. Fluttershy noticed that Rainbow never thought this deep about anything before and decide to ask what was going on.
"Rainbow? What are you thinking about?" Fluttershy asked, casing Rainbow to turn.
"About what the Princess said. She could ask anypony to do this, but she chose us. The more I think about it, the more I see why. We should give it a try," Rainbow explained.
“The only way I'd believe what the princess was saying would be if we were suddenly attacked by this Nightmare Moon or some of her so-called Putty Ponies,." Applejack said, showing that she still didn't believe it.
Then an explosion nearby caused the mares to duck to avoid the raining rubble.
"What was that?" Fluttershy asked, scared.
"I don't know," Rarity answered as she help her up, doing her best not to whine at her dirty fur coat.
Then the five ponies were jumped by a dozen or more greyish ponies with odd masks who could only be the well guess, Putty Ponies.
"Ok, now I believe the Princess," Applejack said.
Fluttershy screamed as two Putty Ponies grabbed her. Rainbow quickly saw that the Putties where try to spit them up.
"Applejack, let’s take this things down!" Rainbow said.
"Right! I got these ones," Applejack replied.
Rainbow turn to Rarity and Pinkie and said, "You two go help Fluttershy."
The two nodded and ran towards Fluttershy.
Applejack ran up to two Putties and give them her hardest buck. The two Putties were flung back as three jump on Applejack and threw her into nearby cliff. She slid down, trying her best to stay awake.
"Dang! They're stronger than they look," AJ said.
Rarity was about to free Fluttershy when a Putty Pony appeared in front of her and tried to hoof punch her. Rarity ducked and threw an uppercut that knocked the Putty Pony away, but another hit her from the side, making her crash into Applejack.
"Ouch! Don't they know that’s very rude," Rarity said upset.
Pinkie also was almost able to free Fluttershy when three Putties got in front of her. Pinkie would normally try to befriend them, but seeing the two Putties scaring Fluttershy like they were, she believed they were nothing but bullies.
"Get outta my way you meanies!" Pinkie said as she tried to punch one.
Though Pinkie was an earth pony, she lacked the same strength as Applejack as her hoof was caught and the other two Putties kick her into her friends.
"PINKIE!" Fluttershy shouted, all shyness was gone in a blink of an eye.
Fluttershy quickly kicked one of the Putties holding her, causing it to lose its grip. She threw a hoof punch at the other one and she was free, but not for long. The same three Putty Ponies that attacked Pinkie grabbed her and threw her into her friends.
Rainbow was having better luck. Thanks to her speed, she was able to take down quiet a few them before she was overpowered when one Putty surprised her by hitting her from behind. She too was flung into her friends. All five mares look up to see the Putty Ponies coming at them.
"What do we do now?" Fluttershy asked.
Rainbow felt something on her neck and saw that she still had the Element of Harmony on. She took it off and turn to the others.
"Celestia said that the Elements will give us power. Let use them!" Rainbow said as the other grab theirs.
A Lighting effect was heard as each Mare held up their elements.
"GENEROSITY!"
"LAUGHTER!"
"HONESTY!"
"KINDNESS!"
"LOYALTY!"
After each pony listed off their Element of Harmony, a bright light emitted from each gem and engulfed their bodies, similarly to what happened the first time around in Canterlot. The light slowly dressed them in their Ranger armor, leaving their heads uncovered until the rest of their bodies were armored. In a flash of light, their helmets appeared on their heads, their visors being absent for a second, revealing their eyes, before the black visors lowered, making their faces, as well as the rest of their bodies, completely covered and armored. Their manes and tails didn't come through the suits, but they did conform to Rainbow Dash's and Fluttershy's wings, as well as Rarity's horn.
"Pony Rangers!" they shouted at once.
Back at Canterlot Spike cheer as both he and Celestia watch the mares use the elements.
"Yes! They did it! They morph!" He said.
"Good! Now I need to send them to Ponyville, Nightmare Moon has just sent down Fighter," Celestia said.
Before the mares could try to attack the Putty Ponies they notices that they were leaving the area.
"What going on?" AppleJack asked.
"I think we're teleporting again," Rarity answered.
"Where are we going?" Fluttershy asked.
"Not sure," Pinkie said.
"We are going to save Equestria," Rainbow said seeing that they called the power and now they had to use it.
They arrive at Ponyville as Rainbow call out, "Ok Rangers, Roll call!"
"Element Ranger, Black!" Rarity said, flipping her head around as though to flip her mane, glancing at the Putties with a sideways glance for a second, and then lowering her head to aim her horn at them as though it were some type of weapon.
"Element Ranger, Pink!" Pinkie said, bouncing into the air excitedly and landing on all fours into a perfect offensive stance.
"Element Ranger, Blue!" AppleJack said, bucking the air behind her before taking an offensive forward stance.
"Element Ranger, Yellow!" Fluttershy said, flying into the air and hovering a few inches off the ground, taking on a stance that was mostly defensive.
"Element Ranger, Red!" Rainbow Dash said, flying up and doing a couple of loop-de-loops before coming back to the ground and hovering just inches above it in an offensive stance.
"In the name of Harmony! We protect the weak and ensure the peace," Rainbow said.
"WE ARE ELEMENT PONY RANGERS!" all five shouted as Fighter appeared.
"Get them!" he ordered the Putty Ponies that attack them before with some more.
Because of the power of the Elements, The Putties stood no chance against the Element Rangers. The five Rangers took down Putty after Putty.
Back at the moon, Nightmare Moon rush over to Zecora highly upset.
"ZECORA! Those Putties are getting beaten by five normal ponies that some how unlocked the power of the Elements!" she yelled, casing the three villains that were in the room to shake with fear.
"How about using your magic to make Fighter grow?" Gilda said, hoping that will calm Nightmare down a little bit.
"Very well, Zecora we are not done yet," Nightmare Moon said and walk away.
"Nice try," Trixie whisper to the griffon.
Nightmare Moon stood and look at Equestria. Her horn was glowing as well.
"Power of the moon, make my Fighter grow!" Nightmare Moon then fired a massive ball of bluish magic down towards Equestria.
The Rangers just took care of the last Putty Pony and was about to fight Fighter.
"At last! I been waiting for this. Let see how you can hold up to me," he said.
But before any one of them could fight, Fighter was blasted by the ball of magic that Nightmare had just fired towards Equestria.
"What the hay was that?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Just then, Fighter grew to about 30 stories tall.
"Sorry I asked. How are we supposed to fight this guy now?" she changed her question.
As though to answer Dash's question, the Rangers' communicators began going off.
"Huh?" Rainbow said as the Ranger lift their hooves.
"Rangers," Spike called from the other end of their communicators. "Remember the zords Celestia mentioned earlier? Now's a good chance to summon them. Like Celestia said, and I quote, 'You can call upon them when a situation gets too big for you to handle.'"
"Oh," Pinkie said. "Now I see what she did there."
"How do we call them?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Simply raise your hoof to the sky and shout 'We need Dinozord Power, now!'" Spike said.
"Right, ready girls?" Rainbow said then ask her friends.
"Ready!” they said and raised their hooves in the air.
"WE NEED DINOZORD POWER NOW!" they shouted together.
A noise that sounded like a steel stampede was heard from off in the distance. The Rangers turned around to find that five massive machines were headed straight towards Ponyville. There was a blue triceratops that was coming in on a set of wheels rather than stomping, a yellow sabre-tooth tiger that was leaping and showing off its acrobatic skills, a black mastodon that was moving quickly despite its stubby legs and massive size, a pink pterodactyl soaring high above the others, and a red tyrannosaur who was running at the head of the group.
"Those are our zords?" AppleJack asked. "They're huge!"
"Yeah they're huge," Rainbow Dash said. "Huge and awesome!"
"Don't forget, Rangers," Spike said from their communicators, "you need to enter your zords and pilot them to combat Fighter. Combine your powers and the zords to form the Megazord and defeat this powerful foe."
"Got it Spike, Let teach this unicorn what happen if you attack our home," Rainbow said and all five jump in their respective zords.
After getting in they made a roll call to check on everypony.
"Blue Ranger, ready for action," AppleJack said from her triceratops zord.
"Yellow Ranger, prepared for battle," Fluttershy said from her sabre-tooth tiger zord.
"Pink Ranger, soaring high," Pinkie said from her pterodactyl zord.
"Black Ranger, hoping this cockpit has been cleaned recently," Rarity said from her mastodon zord. "I mean, rearing for action."
"Red Ranger, rushing into the fray," Rainbow Dash said.
Fighter didn't even look impressed at what he saw.
"Five against one isn't going to change a thing!" he said and use his magic to bring out a Sword and Shield.
"Looks like we need to end this quick," Rainbow said.
"WE NEED MEGAZORD POWER NOW!" the Rangers said.
The Tyrannozord, Triceratops, Sabre-tooth, and Mastodon began charging forward. The Sabre-tooth and Triceratops rushed in front of the Tyrannozord, tucking in their legs and backing into the knees of the kneeling Tyrannozord. The mastodon zord's head broke off from the rest of its body and came up behind the Tyrannozord, connecting to its back and aiming its tusks, which had machine guns at the tips, forward. The rest of the mastodon's body came up in front of the Tyrannozord and formed the chestplate. The result was a massive tank-like machine that was about half the size of Fighter.
"This is the Megazord?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Doesn't look as awesome as I had imagined it, but if it kicks flank, then let's go for it!"
Rainbow then moved her control sticks forward, indicating for Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy to do the same on their control panels.
Upon the command of its pilots, the tank zord began moving forward, firing its machine guns at Fighter. The attack was making contact, but it wasn't dealing significant damage.
"Ha!" Fighter laughed, raising his shield to block the attack. "You really think that pathetic machine has a chance against me?"
Fighter then used his sword to strike the tank zord, sending it flying and landing on its side.
"Well that didn't work," Applejack said.
"I don't understand,” Rainbow Dash said. "I thought the Megazord would have enough power to defeat this guy. Why isn't it working?"
"Because you left me out," Pinkie said over the zord's comm system. Just then, the pterodactyl zord flew by and struck Fighter, catching him off guard and knocking him onto his side.
"Oh, right,” Rainbow Dash said. "Sorry about that Pinkie. Let's try that again. We need Megazord power, now!" Rainbow Dash then slammed her hoof on a button on her control panel.
"Megazord sequence initiated,” said a robotic voice from the zords. The tank zord then began moving into a standing position. The Triceratops and Sabre-tooth zords formed the legs of the Megazord and the tusks of the Mastodon's tusks formed the arms. The machine guns rotated to reveal hands. The Pterodactyl zord then flew towards the front of the standing humanoid zord, tucked in its head and wings, and formed the chestplate for the Megazord. Upon the Pterodactyl zord attaching to the Megazord, the head of the Tyrannozord tucked in behind the Pterodactyl zord, revealing a humanoid head with horns on either side.
"ELEMENT MEGAZORD READY FOR ACTION!" the five mares shouted as lighting power the Megazord up.
"You think that going to stop me? Guess again!" Fighter said as he swung his sword.
The attack hit the Megazord and it took a few steps back, but it recovered in time. Fighter charged again, this time ramming the Megazord with his shield. The Megazord threw the shield off and landed a punch on Fighter.
"Ha!" Rarity laughed. "Take that, you ruffian!"
"Good shot, Rarity," AppleJack commented.
The farm pony then turned to Fluttershy.
"Now it's our turn. Ready, Fluttershy?" she asked the yellow pegasus.
"Ready," Fluttershy replied.
The Megazord then ran up to Fighter, who was just getting up and recovering, and drop kicked the evil minion right in the face.
"YEAH!" the Rangers cheer.
"Excellent work, everypony," Celestia said over the Megazord's comm. "Now it is time for you to summon your greatest weapon. The Power Sword."
"Will do, Princess," Rainbow Dash said.
"WE NEED THE POWER SWORD NOW!" the Rangers shouted.
Just then, the sky opened up and a huge double-edge sword descended from the heavens and impaled itself in the ground right in front of the Megazord. The Rangers then drew the Sword out of the ground and aimed it at Fighter. Fighter could see that the fight was started to look bad.
"Today’s your lucky day Rangers! I decide to fall back for now, but next time we met, we'll fight to the end!" Fighter shouted. He then teleported away from the battle.
"My Little Ponies, victory is ours!" Rainbow said as the Megazord lowered its sword.
Back on the moon, Nightmare Moon was furious at her minions, mostly at Zecora and Fighter.
"FIGHTER! HOW DARE YOU RETURN IN BATTLE! YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WILL FIGHT UNTIL THE END!" Nightmare Moon yelled.
"The Rangers were stronger than they look. That was my mistake, it wouldn't happen again," Fighter defended.
"SHUT UP! I NEED TO GET RID OF THIS ANGER BEFORE I SEND IT ON YOU!" Nightmare Moon said and walk away.
Back in Canterlot, the Pony Rangers were standing in throne room in front of Celestia.
"Congratulations on your first victory as Pony Rangers,” the alicorn said. "However, I fear that while you may have won this battle, the war is still to come. Nightmare Moon will continue to send her minions towards Ponyville to draw you out and destroy you so that she can be rid of the Elements of Harmony and plunge Equestria into eternal night. The battle between good and evil needs to come to a conclusion, and the fate of Equestria now rests in the hooves of you five, as well as any other friends you may make through your journey."
"In that case," Rainbow Dash said, stepping forward, "you can count on us to protect Equestria until Nightmare Moons falls."
"One more thing, Rangers. If you wish to continue to keep your Ranger powers and protect Equestria, you must follow the Ranger Code."
"The Ranger Code?" Applejack asked.
"A set of three simple rules that must be followed by all living beings who gain the power of the Morphin' Grid and wish to keep it. This code is followed by another group of warriors who call themselves the Power Rangers, but they live in an alternate universe, so don't go thinking you can find them and ask them for help. Now then, I will tell you the rules of the Ranger Code. First: you must never escalate a battle unless you need to. To unleash unneeded wrath upon enemies who don't deserve it would prove that you are no better than they are. Second: you must never use your Ranger powers for dark intentions or personal gain. These powers are a sacred gift bestowed upon only those with a pure heart who are worthy of wielding them. Finally: you must strive to keep your identities a secret at all times. If anypony close to you were to discover who you were, it could put their lives, as well as yours, in jeopardy. Follow these simple rules and your powers will continue to grow as the threat to Equestria does. Do you understand?"
"I can live with those rules," Pinkie said.
"Sounds good," Fluttershy added.
"Yee-haw!" Applejack shouted.
"You can count on us, Princess," Rainbow Dash said.
"Hmm..." Rarity said. "I dunno, girls. My mane gets tangled in that helmet whenever I morph."
The other four, as well as Spike and Celestia, just looked at Rarity with expressions of disbelief.
"Just kidding," Rarity finally said with a laugh. "I'm totally on-board with this."
"Then best of luck to you Rangers," Celestia said. "Until you are needed in action again, you may return to Ponyville."
"We'll be ready when that moment comes, Princess," Rainbow Dash said. The others nodded in agreement. The five then galloped out of the room towards the train station.
