In a world of grand kingdoms and magic, the Maidens of Harmony have used their lives to protect us from the Nightmares. Now a dark shadow looms, and five unlikely heroes must band together to keep Maidens safe. Celestial Guard! Stand Up!
10588606 As you'll learn later on, each of the Maidens has their own outlook on pacifism and what it means. They're not _entirely_ helpless. Well, in the case of some.
I'm really anxious to introduce one Maiden in particular...
“Seriously?” his partner asked, shaking his head, “This guy’s either the greatest thief in the world, or the dumbest.”
Both?
They reached the cell a few seconds later. Inside was a tall and lean young man in his late teens to early twenties, with spiky green hair tied in a ponytail, bright green eyes, and a cocky smirk. He wore a dark green tunic, fancy belt with a golden buckle, brown pants, dark brown boots, and a fancy red and gold amulet around his neck.
Spike?
“A place to stay…? You mean, you did steal from Flash Sentry on purpose?” his partner asked incredulous.
“I wouldn’t say I did it intentionally, but happy accidents are a thing, right?” Spike stretched, “I get to stay at the castle, for free.”
“As a prisoner,” Flash Sentry corrected.
“Details,” Spike waved him off.
Alright, Lupin.
“In my defense, that was a reallygood doughnut,” Spike defended.
Hah!
As Flash’s face turned red in anger and embarrassment, his partner couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. As sad as it was, for such a small defense, they couldn’t keep him for long.
Offense.
“What’s the matter, Flashie? Chicken?” Spike gripped the bars and leaned in close to him with a shit eating grin, “Afraid to lose 30 gold?”
Right for the pride!
“Commander, you’re not fooling anyone,” Octavia taunted, “I don’t know why you don’t just indulge the Princess in her desires.”
I like her.
Cadence held up her hand, “Don’t mind him, Mac. He’s got a mile long stick up his ass I’m having a hell of a time pulling out,” she then shook Macintosh’s hand, “So it’s a pleasure meet you as well.”
Oh you're fun. Also, meeting you. Or TO meet you.
And he did NOT want to risk his sister’s safety because he got lax.
Fair.
“Y-you got it, Chrysalis! No need to get ugly!” Taurus said frantically. Despite being larger and physically stronger, he was no match for Chrysalis’ magic. Also, by Sombra’s decree, she was his second in command, so she outranked him by a decent amount. Earning her ire was NOT advised.
Huh, interesting, he's afraid of her.
The woman had long wavy purple hair and brilliant blue eyes. With the way she was held to the ground, it looked like she was wearing a dark purple nightgown and lingerie, and despite being tied up and gagged with a white scarf, she was struggling violently and screaming the entire time. It looked like Canis’ partner almost lost her a few times, too.
Rarity.
“I was gone for only an hour an’ maybe a few minutes, fifteen at the most,” Macintosh tightened his fist, “Yet in such a short amount of time, Applejack got so terrified that she couldn’t move. After that day, I told her where I was goin’ first at all times, an’ if at all possible took her with me.”
So, she's got trauma to work through. fun.
“Power can only corrupt if ya let it,” Macintosh stated, “As long as I’m fightin’ for her, I know I won’t go astray.”
We'll see.
Maybe it was just that? Maybe it was because it was so big that if someone were to attack her right now, she’d have no way of knowing if her big brother could hear her scream for help. Or maybe it was the fact she’d heard that the Maiden of Faith was already taken from these very same walls.
Both?
Applejack rose from her bench and walked over to the Princess, Octavia right beside her. She probably hoped her presence could be calming. That or she was just attracted to her. Knowing how Shining called her a womanizer, she suspected it was at least a bit of both.
Probably both, yes.
“N-Nightmares…! Approaching the castle…!” Cadence’s eyes stopped glowing and she turned to Octavia, “We have to get Applejack somewhere safe now!”
Crapbaskets.
“A pure maiden’s safety is more than just her physical well being. Her mental and emotional state is just as important,” Octavia took Applejack’s hand and kissed her knuckles elegantly, “Cadence, go.”
Good, she's not an idiot.
Despite the threat of Nightmares, today felt like a good day.
Opportunism.
“Probably being used by a few Nightmares now,” Chrysalis purred seductively, “They love playing with their toy. You should hear how she screams.”
OK, bitch.
“Sorry, but I only have eyes for the fairer sex,” Octavia said, shooting Spike down instantly.
“Damn it,” he slouched forward, “All the luck in the world, and can’t get a woman to save my life.”
HAH!
“Luckiest Man Alive, remember?” Spike smiled, “I could probably steal the panties off a woman while she’s wearing them,” he looked up, “Now there’s a challenge…”
Not the time.
“Well well, what do we have here,” a deep and gruff voice asked. Approaching them was a large black monster with the head of a dog, red eyes, and sharp teeth, wearing what appeared to be a black leather jacket and black pants, “Five lone warriors defending the Maiden of Honesty.”
That's not how the word 'lone' works.
“If you value your lives, you’ll turn the Maiden over to us,” Canis Major said holding his hand out, “Do so, and I promise we won’t end your lives.”
Bullshit.
“MACINTOSH!” Applejack’s screams echoed as the Nightmares all vanished, their job done.
Well. Shit.
“Remember how I said that this energy field is tuned to the energy of the Goddess?” Sunburst asked, “With that, I can use the Crystal Heart, and perhaps we can summon these warriors here!”
The Power Rangers.
“Wisps are one thing, because they aren’t drawing energy from the starts. They’re just darkness given shape. But for something that’s actively drawing against the power of the stars...”
You can use light to beat the darkness. Also, from the stars, not starts.
Before the Crystal Heart, tiny balls of light condensed and grew, taking the shape of a woman. The woman’s form was semi translucent, as if she were a mirage, but she was still beautiful. Fair skin, with long wavy hair the color of a rainbow or aurora, with pink eyes, and was wearing a flowing white dress that was elegant but did show off quite a good amount of her curvy figure. She stepped forward, and bowed to all of them with a gentle, almost maternal smile.
Celestia.
a power sage came to us.
PowerFUL.
“You can’t be serious,” Shining Armor muttered, “Him?”
“I don’t think we can afford to be picky here,” Octavia stated.
You really can't.
Everyone looked around unsure of this. This, was the best option sadly, and it seemed she really wanted to do this. However, she was the Princess, and clearly had the least amount of combat experience.
I wouldn't say best option so much as the literal only option.
A green light shined over Spike, “A dragon, huh? Least it’s not a frog.”
Don't think there is a frog constellation.
“Shining Armor, quick to action, always ready to charge ahead. I give you, the Pegasus constellation, and the title of Blue Ranger.”
The Blue Ranger is the Red Oni. How ironic.
They opened up to reveal a series of numbered buttons from 0 to 9 among a few other symbols including a lightning bolt, and what looked like a screen*
They remind me of the Mystic Force morphers.
The purple haired Maiden then stomped on Canis Minor’s foot hard, “OW! What in the-”
In the brief second he let her go, the purple haired, night gown wearing maiden tackled a few Wisps into Chrysalis, causing her to fall over, and making her concentration break and the spell dissipate.
Oh I like her.
“W-what?!” Chrysalis cried wide eyed, “How are you doing this?!”
At their sides were dangerous looking broad swords,
Broadsword. One word.
Chrysalis and Cadence met blade for claw in a weapon clash glaring at each other,
Comma between clash and glaring.
Octavia rolled in just in time however and blocked with her blade, “Why won’t you stay down?!”
Fuck you, that's why.
Immediately it took form as a massive broad sword,
Again, broadsword.
The light then manifested into pink armored gauntlets with three long, fancy white claws coming out of the knuckles.
Ooh, Wolverine.
“Um, can’t we talk about this?!” Taurus asked, visibly terrified now.
No.
“All of us were spectacular,” Octavia said, resting her hands behind her head, “I imagine if we keep working together like this, we’ll be able to keep the Maiden’s safe easily.”
Don't get cocky. Also, Maidens.
“Sounds good to me,” Spike stretched, “So, where’s my room.”
Question mark, not period.
“Nu uh uh, I’m part of the Celestial Guard too now, remember,” Spike smirked, “Meaning like it or not, we’re teammates now.”
He has a point, y'know.
The other knights burst out laughing as Flash had no choice but to cough up the money, “That man truly is the luckiest man in the world!” Soarin said through his laughter. That earned a death glare from Flash.
“CELESTIAL GUARD!!! STAND UP!!!” the five shouted in unison, waving their Solar Phones and holding them to the sky. A bright light shot out of the phones, revealing a bright magical circle in the sky, almost as bright as the sun itself.
“What’s going on?!” Chrysalis asked looking around, an existential fear gripping her suddenly.
“I got a bad feeling about this…!” Taurus cried.
~Morphing Scene~
Macintosh held his arms out as Celestia’s symbol appeared on his chest. He then threw both arms into the air and looked up as around him as a bright light shined onto him, and a large red image in the shape of a warrior in the same position manifested. As the aura vanished slowly, it was replaced with a star constellation, which shrunk down to form shimmering red and white knight’s armor. He looked forward as the light vanished, and a matching helmet formed seconds later from the light.
Shining Armor held his arms out, the same symbol appearing over his chest. When he held his arms up to the sky, the image was instead a blue pegasus spreading its wings and stomping the ground, as if ready to charge. The constellation formed over his body, turning into blue and white knight’s armor similar to Macintosh’s, with an almost identical helmet appearing from the light as it vanished.
Octavia held her arms out elegantly as the symbol appeared over her breasts. She then looked up holding her arms up to the sky, as an image of a yellow fire bird appeared, spreading its wings and screeching in rage. The constellation formed into yellow and white armor similar to the other two, and her helmet appeared quickly after.**
Spike held his arms out as Celestia’s symbol appeared over his chest. When he held his arms up, the image that formed was of a green ferocious dragon standing upright, roaring in rage and swinging its claws. The constellation formed into green and white armor similar to the others, along with his helmet. Notably, he was smirking confidently as his helmet appeared.
Finally Cadence, who like Octavia held her arms out more elegantly before holding her hands to the sky to be engulfed in Celestia’s light. For her, the image of a pink Wild Cat appeared, roaring in determination and looking ready to pounce before vanishing into the constellation form. Her armor was more overtly feminine looking, but still just as strong as the others. Her helmet appeared shortly after signaling the end of her transformation.
10590260 We couldn't adapt everything concerning King Shwartz, at least not right away. But this is only episode 2. Once the story progresses a bit more, and especially once their 6th Ranger is introduced, more of Shwartz traits will begin to show.
10590259 This sound really familiar to me....is this Knightranger, or what it's called in the U.S. Power Rangers Mystic Force, was from??? The colors for each Ranger seem in sync of it (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink) and their morphers that seem like a combination of a wand and cell phone. And-lest we forget- the description of their uniforms when they morphed the first time screams mystic Force, right down to all of them look like knights with capes.
10590874 Oh no. In truth, Knightranger doesn't exist. It's a made up Super Sentai, and Celestial Guard is an original concept. But part of the running joke as I'm telling this story is that it's being adapted from a Super Sentai show like standard Power Rangers.
Not bad. So will we be getting actual living beings being the Psycho Rangers or will they be constructs?
10588409
I'm not spoiling anything, but know that I've got major plans for this story.
Of course Rarity is the one to push past the compulsion and Do A Violence. Even from the second episode in canon she had a propensity for it.
10588606
As you'll learn later on, each of the Maidens has their own outlook on pacifism and what it means. They're not _entirely_ helpless. Well, in the case of some.
I'm really anxious to introduce one Maiden in particular...
Both?
Spike?
Alright, Lupin.

Crapbaskets.
Good, she's not an idiot.
Opportunism.
OK, bitch.
HAH!
Not the time.
That's not how the word 'lone' works.
Bullshit.
Well. Shit.
The Power Rangers.

You really can't.

Question mark, not period.
He has a point, y'know.
Spike has maxed out his Luck stat.
Sooooo...... no grass exploding ?
10588885
Not this time. More like a bright divine light.
See, we took the morph and role call directly from the Super Sentai footage this time around. No exploding grass this time around.
Poor Twi Twi
So I'm assuming that for Shining Armor that Scorpion based monster is basically this for him:
And on top of that I'm assuming HE was the original big bad for the Super Sentai this is based off of?
*Is just rolling with the joke this time*
10590252
Actually, Sombra will get a second form that's the actual Big Bad of Ginga Sentai Knightranger. Scorpio was the dragon to King Shwartz.
10590259
I've heard some NASTY stuff about King Shwartz that Sombra here doesn't seem to have.
10590260
We couldn't adapt everything concerning King Shwartz, at least not right away. But this is only episode 2. Once the story progresses a bit more, and especially once their 6th Ranger is introduced, more of Shwartz traits will begin to show.
10590294
I was worried about that. Least your Sombra is leagues more likeable and enjoyable to watch then Shwartz.
10590297
You say that now...
10590571
...... christ on a stick this is gonna go to dark places..... THEN GO FULL STEAM AHEAD.
10590259

10590874
Also, while they look like Knights, they aren't wearing capes with their uniforms. That's just Shining Armor when he's not morphed.
10590896
Knightranger?
10591770
That's the name I'm using for the Super Sentai I'm drawing from. Again, doesn't really exist, but it's part of the joke,
