//------------------------------// // Lost of Green Part 3 // Story: Return of the Element Pony Rangers // by Shazam 25 //------------------------------// Three weeks later, Snip and Snails was trying everything to find out who the rangers were, but each it time they fail. They gave up on asking Spike if he knew anything about them since he was friends with them. They even try sneaking in Twilight's house, but that didn't go very well. The two walk across Ponyville trying to come up with a plan that doesn't get them into trouble or getting in the fights with the rangers and monsters. They walk pass a tent and Snip stop and read the sign. "Want to know your fortune? Come inside to see Madam Seeker, the greatest Fortune Teller in Equestria. P.S. If free to enter, but cost 5 bits after your fortune has been told." He said. "Hey Snails, you know that this means?" Snip asked. "Ugh...the pony very rich?" Snails asked back. "No pea brain! It means, this is the change we been waiting for! Maybe we can find out who the Pony Rangers are!" Snip said. "Oh! I get ya! But we don't have any bits." Snails said. "Oh, what is this? Two fillies that has something amiss?" They heard and saw zebra walk out. "A zebra? We haven't seen one since the Nightmare Moon was around." Snail said surprise. "Are you talking about the evil mare? The one who took our sister to her lair?" Madam Seeker ask. "Err, yes. But don't worry, the rangers have taking care of her." Snip said. "I see, come in and enjoy thee." She said. Snip and Snails look surprise and enter. They saw it was dark and strange stuff hanging around. "Tell me, what can do for you? Tell the past, present, and future, I do." She said. "Well, we where wondering if there a way if we can discover who the rangers are, but your sign says it cost 5 bits to have one told." Snails said. "True, you own a fee, but for you, it free." Madam Seeker said. "Really?! Thanks." Snip said. "I tell fortune, base on the cards I draw, each one telling me the end of the straw." She said and pull out a deck of cards. She pull out one card that show two fillies looking at a group. "Your past shows, that you want the attention the older ponies get." She said and pull out the next card. This one had the two fillies follow a group from the first card. "You present shows, that you have been trying to find out about the secret of this group, but fail each time." She said and pull out one more card. This one had to two Fillies in front of a group of ponies as if they were about to fight. "Your future show, that you two will one day lead a group into a battle to help the group you been following. When it happens I do not know." She said again. "Wow! She right! We want to have the attention that the rangers get." Snails said. "Yeah, but the future doesn't tell us how we discover who the rangers are." Snips said. "In time you will learn, but for now you have warn." Madam Seeker said. "Warn? Warn about what?" Snails ask. "Continue trying to find out who someone is and your future won't happen." She said. Snips and Snails look at it each then left the tent. Madam Seeker pick up her cards and turn to a picture that had her and another zebra on it. "Oh Z, I can't keep this up. Where are you?" She ask. Meanwhile at Discord's Chaos home, Discord peek through his telescope and saw Snip and Snails leaving the fortune teller tent. "Oh! A fortune teller. I love having my fortune told." He said as he back away and snip his fingers. His "How to make Monsters" book appear and her started to flip through it. "Now where that monster?" Discord said looking through it. "Where is that stupid lazy son of a..." Discord said. DISCORD! Watch your language! I made this a rated E, but don't give off T or M rated words! "Oh relax, I was able to find the monster before I could finish." Discord said to the author. Discord read the spell and look around for a card. He found on on the floor in Madam Seeker in tent. "Hm, Look like I can make the monster and get the zebra out of the way at the same time." He said and snap his fingers. The card on the floor started to glow and soon grain hands and feet. A head appear with on side black and the other white. It red eyes glow for a second and spotted Madam Seeker. She heard something and around to see the monster. Before she could do anything, a quick flash of light appear and Madam Seeker was turn into a card. "Heh, heh, heh, Now to get the green ranger powers." It said. Snip and Snails ran toward Sugarcube Corner and crash into the CMC, as well as Diamond Tiara and Sliver Spoon. "Get off me!" Diamond Tiara shouted. "We will, as soon as Snip and Snails get off us first." Scootaloo said. "Hey, what what with the rush? Were you racing?" Rainbow Dash asked, as she help them up. "As any of you heard about a fortune teller in town?" Snip ask. "A fortune teller? But that all nonsense." Twilight said. "Hey, we got ours told and it appear to true so far!" Snails said. "What do ya mean?" Apple Bloom ask. "Well, our past was that we were alone and look up to a well know group." Snips said first. "Our present show we what to be part of the group." Snails added. "And our future show us helping a fight." They finish together. "Helping a fight? Please, like that will ever comes true." Diamond Tara said. "What group are you guys talking about?" Twilight ask. "We believe it the Pony Rangers." Snails said. "You two, what to be pony rangers?" The CMC's asked. "Well, maybe not rangers ourselves, but maybe help them at least." Snips said. The Mane Six look at each other and sat back their table. "What do you all think?" Rainbow asked. "Not sure, but why would a fortune teller know about us? As in us as Pony Rangers?" Applejack answers. "I don't think that true.", Rarity spoke up, "Princess Celestia has been careful about how much go out about the Pony Rangers." "It does sound nice that more ponies heard about us, but even I won't go around and say 'I'm a pony ranger'." Pinkie added. "You think maybe we should go see the fortune teller? I mean if that ok?" Fluttershy said. "I'll go.", Twilight said, "I'll call if any thing comes up." Twilight stood up and left before her friends could say anything. "Think we should follow her?" Pinkie ask. "I guess so." Rainbow said, but their elements beep and they look around. They went outside and Rainbow answer her element. "This is Rainbow Dash." She said. "Rangers, I need you to head to to the park, there are some putties attack some bystanders." Celestia voice come through. "What?! We're on our way." Rainbow said. "Guess follow Twi will have to wait. We got to hurry to the park." Applejack said. The rest nods and runs off to the park ready to stop the Chaos Putties once again. Twilight found Madam Seeker's tent and walk in. She saw many things that look like old things from another country. She soon saw Madam Seeker walking up to her. "Welcome, my dear. To Madam Seeker Fortune Teller. I'm Madam Seeker. Are you here to have your fortune told?" She said. "Forgive me if I sound mean, but I don't believe that anybody can tell a pony past, present or future." Twilight said. "I understand dear, but would you like to try at least?" Madam Seeker ask. Twilight thought about it and didn't see any harm. She sat down and watch as Madam Seeker send three cards on the table. "These cards will your past, present and future." She said and flip over a card that show a lonely pony. Your past says that you were a lonely pony that didn't have any friends, but you saw five of them and wanted to be friends with them. Twilight nods knowing how true that was. "Normally I'l tell the present first, but your future has something you must know." She said and flip the third card over. Twilight could see two ponies, one was a earth earth pony that had a sword and shield and the other was a pegasus with lighting around it. She wasn't sure, but they remind her of Fighter and Lighting Dust. "Your future shows that the ones you have thought been defeated will return." Madam Seeker told her. Twilight wasn't sure how they would return, Lighting Dust will though, but how would Fighter return? She didn't have time to think as the second card was flip over and show her as her ranger form, losing more of her power. "Your present show that you will lose more of your power, Green Ranger." Madam Seeker said and turn back to it monster form. "What!?" Twilight said in shock. "Ah, ha,ha,ha!", It laugh, "you should be more careful on who you trust." "A card Monster? Is that the best Discord's got?" Twilight asked, not seeing the big deal. "Trust me, Lord Discord has his ways of making normal things into monsters." The Monster said and threw a few cards at Twilight. Twilight quickly flip backwards to dodge the cards until she reach outside. The Card Monster step out and laugh. The ponies around them ran off in fear. The Card Monster laugh again as Twilight stood ready. "To let you know, the real Madam Seeker is still safe. Safe inside a card!" It said and held up the card. "I had two monsters before you that drain me of my green ranger powers, but I won't let that happen again." Twilight said and stood on her back hooves and place hoof behind her. "IT MORPHIN' TIME!" She shouted. "THUNDER!" Twilight stood as the Green Pony Ranger ready to fight, however, the lost of half her power was taking affect. For a spit second Twilight felt her power wash over her and she knee down, before standing back up. "Well, Well, it appears you power is not as great as it once was." The Card Monster said. "It still enough to beat you!" Twilight said and charge at it. Twilight threw a roundhouse kick that monster duck under and Twilight try a punch that it block. It push Twilight back and threw a few cards at her, knocking her back. Twilight drew her Thunder Dragger and charge again. The Monster once more threw the cards and Twilight play her Thunder Dragger to call the power of her Thunder Shield that knock the attack back, but due to the lost of her power, she was unable to block it all and the shield drop allowing the attack to hit her. Twilight and the monster both fell back and the Monster was quicker to get back on it's feet. It quickly threw some cards around Twilight and form a shield around her. Twilight try to break out, but she started to feel more of her power being drain. "Hahahahaha! Try all you want you won't break out of by house of cards. It drain you of your magic and only I can take it down." The Card Monster said. Twilight look at the monster and growl. "Catching me won't have Discord win! My friends will beat you!" She said. "Maybe, but I'll make sure they fall. Oh, and here a guest to keep you company." Card Monster said and threw a card that landed next to Twilight. Twilight look and saw Madam Seeker trap inside a card. Twilight look up at the monster, but he was already gone. Twilight felt her power drain again and knee to the ground. There was no breaking out this time. She was stuck here until her friends can beat the monster. Twilight rise her hoof and contact Celestia to warn her. Meanwhile during the time Twilight was fighting the monster... The rangers made it to the park and saw Chaos Putties attacking a few ponies that was in the park. The group nods and rush to help. Rainbow saw two Chaos Putties holding on a mare and kick them off. She block a kick and hit the Chaos Putty on the 'C'. She turn and punch another on it 'C' and turn back to the mare. "Get to safely." She said and duck under another Chaos Putty and uppercut it. Pinkie flip a few times getting the Chaos Putties to follow her away from a family. She kick one back by hitting the 'C' and turn to block a punch before throwing one of her own. She kick another one that charge her, then jump over a few putties before turning to the family. "Go! I hold them off!" She said and the family ran. Fluttershy duck under a punch and sweep kick the Putty and stood up too see the filly that she save back during her early time as a ranger and her father being surrounded. Fluttershy flew up to them and kick the putties away. She turn to block a kick then started blocking two at once before she flew up into the air and dive at them hitting their 'C's. Fluttershy turn to the two and said, "Get out of here! I got this, I mean...if that ok." The two nods and ran as Fluttershy block another putty. Applejack was quick to over power two putties that was fighting her. She buck behind her, hitting two more putties on their 'C's. She turns and was hit back two more putties, but shook it off. She block the attacks and was able to get her hooves around them and hit their 'C's as she buck one behind her. She quickly block another putty and threw it in the before jumping after it and kick the 'C'. Rarity was different, she was using some dance moves that she remember from the time they went to the power rangers world. Rarity did an spit and spin her hooves around tripping the putties. She jump back up and block an attack and fire a beam from her horn onto the 'C' of the putty. She flip back having her back hooves hit two putties under chins. She then punch the 'C's on them. Soon the putties fell and broke apart. They regroup and smile. "Way ago girls." Rainbow said. "It going to take more then putties to stop us!" Pinkie cheer. "I think we should check on Twilight.", Applejack brought up, "we still have to find an way for her to restore her powers." "Right. Let's find her." Rarity said. Before they could head off to find her, their elements went off. They look around before they pull out their elements. "We read you Princess." Rainbow said into her element. "Rangers, I have just receive word from Twilight.", Celestia voice came through, "Discord has send another monster and it has caught Twilight." "What?!" Rainbow asked. "We'll save her." Fluttershy said bravely. "Alright girls, let's spit up. Applejack and me will find the monster. The rest of you find Twilight and free her." Rainbow said thinking of an plan. Before they could carry out the plan, explosions appear around them, knocking them off their hooves. They stood up to see the Card Monster standing close by. "Don't brother, Your friend is safe and I'm right here." It said. "An card monster?" Applejack asked. "And we thought Nightmare Moon was running out of monsters." Pinkie said bring up the time that they fought monsters from Nightmare Moon. "No time fir that Pinkie. We got to stop it and free Twilight." Rainbow said and they all stood on their hooves and place and hoof behind them. "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!" "GENEROSITY!" "LAUGHTER!" "HONESTY!" "KINDNESS!" "LOYALTY!" They stood ready as the pony rangers and face the Card Monster. The Card Monster laugh and threw a few cards at them. The ranger spit up and Rarity and Fluttershy threw a few punches that the monster block and knock them away. Pinkie and Applejack rush in next also throwing in punches along with some kicks. The Card Monster block them before the two flip back. Rainbow dive right into him pushing it away from the park. The Card Monster then grab Rainbow and threw her away before getting hit by Fluttershy. The Monster recover and smile. "Looks like a full house rangers!" It said and threw five cards that hit one ranger each. Rainbow stood back up and drew her element sword and charge at the Card Monster. Rainbow swing her sword at few times hitting the monster. It then grab the sword and spin Rainbow around and kick her into the others that caught her. "Time to play my green card." It said and threw a green card. It hit the rangers and let out some electric shock that knock them down. "That was Twilight's green rangers power." Fluttershy said realizing the power that hit them. "That right.", the Card Monster said, "unlike the other monsters that you fought, I don't need to near the green ranger to use her power. Every time I use a green card I take some of her power!" It threw another green card that shock them again. The Card Monster threw an third green card that shock them one more. It ready an fourth card but was destroy when Fluttershy found an opening and threw one of her element draggers. The rangers stood up and ready themselves again. "Ok rangers, let's show that monster the power of friendship!" Rainbow said and they charge at it. Rainbow brought out her Element Sword and slash the monster an few times. She held up her hooves as Pinkie and Rarity jump off them. Rarity put her Element Ax in blaster mode as she and Pinkie fire. As they drop down Rarity stuck with her Element Ax and Pinkie with her Element Bow. Fluttershy was able to get her Element Dragger and she slash it at the same time as Applejack did with her Element Lance. he Card Monster fell to the ground weaken from the attacks. "How?" It asked. "Our friendship is something that is unbeatable. You may use Twilight's powers, but it does nothing to us. Twilight had chose to use her power to help us and we won't let any monster that Discord sends misuse that power. Let's combine them!" Rainbow explain and shouted. "Element Ax!" Rarity shouted flipping it around and move the handle to the base before throwing it in the air. "Element Bow!" Pinkie shouted flipping her bow around before throwing it in the air and it combine with the Element Ax. "Element Lance!" Applejack shouted and spit the lance in half before throwing them to combine at the end of the bow. "Element Draggers" Fluttershy shouted and flip her before throwing them. They went right next to the lances half's. "Element Sword!" Rainbow shouted and jump up and grab the Element Ax before placing the Element Sword on top. Rainbow land on the ground and aim at the Card Monster. The others place their hooves on Rainbow's shoulders. "ELEMENT CANNON! READY!" They shouted. The Card Monster look in surprise as the ranger charge the Element Cannon. "FIRE!" They shouted. The Card Monster was destroy and back where Twilight was, the cards surrounding her fell. Even Madam Seeker was free. "Are you ok Miss?" Twilight asked her. "Yes, Green Ranger. I'm fine." She said. "I'm glad I must go help my friends. You better get inside. It not safe out here." Twilight warn her and ran off to find her friends. Madam Seeker look at her before turn and walking back in her tent. Green smoke cover it and when it fade, it disappear as if it was never there. Discord watch the fight through his telescope and sigh. "I swear those rangers are becoming a problem. Well, at least I'm one step closer of getting the Chaos Coin back." He said before snapping his fingers. The rangers watch as the Card Monster will relive and grew 20 feet tall. "Looks like I have another card to play!" It said. "Great. We have to deal with it again." Rainbow said. "WE NEED DINOZORD POWER NOW!" The rangers shouted and raise their hooves in the air. Soon the Zords ran to Ponyville and the Rangers jump in. Card Monster laugh and threw a few cards that exploded around them. "WE NEED MEGAZORD POWER NOW!" The Rangers shouted again and soon the Element Megazord stood. The Element Megazord walk up to the Card Monster and threw a punch. Card Monster threw an kick back at them which they block and punch him away. "How about a Royal Flush?" Card Monster asked and threw the cards. The Megazord took steps back as the attack hit them. The Card Monster ready another set of cards, but was destroy by the Dragonzord that enter the fight. "Twilight!" The rangers shouted. "Girls, I lost too much power. I can't combine with the Megazord any more. You have to do the finishing blow without me." Twilight said over the com. "We understand Twilight, let's do it!" Rainbow said then shouted. ""WE NEED THE POWER SWORD NOW!" The Rangers shouted and the sword drop from the heavens. The Megazord grab it and ready itself. Card Monster charge at them, but the Megazord swing it sword knocking him back. "FINAL SLASH!" The Rangers shouted and the Megazord land the blow. The Card Monster was knock down to the ground again with energy coming off him. "How can my had lose?" He shouted as soon as he hit the ground he was cover in an explosion show that he was destroyed. "My Little Ponies, Victory is ours." Rainbow said as the Megazord lower the sword. Back at Discord home. he turn away and sat on his throne. "Well, well, Friendship huh? I must do something about that sooner or later. But maybe later, I would like to have more fun with them." He said and laugh. Twilight was leading the others to Madam Seeker tent tell them her fortune. The first two cards were right. I was a loner before meeting you and losing some of my power again. What I don't get is the third card. It like it was saying that Lighting Dust and Fighter was going to return one day" Twilight told them. "Do hope we can get some answers from this Madam Seeker." Applejack said as they reach the place, but saw that the tent was gone. "What? But it was right here." Twilight said looking over the area. "She must have move on darling." Rarity said. "She was just visiting and must have move out so she wouldn't be attack again." Rainbow added. Twilight sigh and turn back to the others. "Girls, something tell me that I will lose my powers before we can find a way to recover them. So it best that I morph if you need me to." She said admitting her fears. "No way Twilight! You're a member of this team. You can morph at any time!" Rainbow said. "That right sugarcube. You are our friend." Applejack added. "Remember this Twilight, Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger." Fluttershy told her. "Yes, we all want you to fight with us." Rarity said hugging her as the others join in. "In the mean time, I'm getting a party ready for us! It time to celebrate our victory!" Pinkie said and ran off. The others roll their eyes. That was just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie.
