*Sadly, we couldn’t get a very good actress for Chrysalis, so she’s a tad over the top.

You say that like she wasn't over the top in the show.

However, she felt empty, and unloved. For the people used her time to rest. While she was glad her light served a purpose, she still wished for just one to openly love her, in the same way her sister was loved.

Sounds like the Tale Of The Two Sisters, alright.

“Oh Goddess of the Night! Make me your proxy! Your servant against the Nightmares! Allow me this pleasure and I will love you eternally and fight in your name!”

A Cleric. You want to be a Cleric.

Unfortunately for all of humanity, that was not the case.

Naturally. Because a God and a human falling for each other never ends well.

Eventually, he found the means of attaining immortality. The only price for such a boon, his very soul.

So easily you say that.

However, the divine blade that the Goddess granted him was also bathed darkness,

Bathed in darkness.

The one who once fought the Nightmares valiantly, had now become the greatest Nightmare of them all.

Nightmare Moon.

So long as the Maidens stood strong and held to their virtues, Luna and Sombra would be forever barred from each other, unable to carry out their plan of eternal darkness.

So how long before things go to shit?

Perhaps, the answer to that question… will reveal itself in the form of a certain legacy. A legacy of power, that spans generations. A legacy of heroes who have protected those who could not protect themselves.

I assume the titular Celestial Guard.

“You shouldn’t make promises you can’t keep, boy,” the scorpion said, resting his blade over his shoulder, “But I am a proud warrior, so I will keep my oath. If you can in fact defeat me in battle, I will release your sister. Should you fall here though, the Maiden of Faith is mine.”

Whatever you say, Korag.

“You fool!” the scorpion shouted, throwing the boy into a pile of crates breaking them, “Even now, you stand ready to fight? You are either extremely brave, or extremely stupid!”

You say that like they're mutually exclusive.

The scorpion walked over to the young man and knelt before him, “Even though I bested you, I can see the makings of a proud warrior. Therefore, I will not kill you today. Instead, train yourself, and become a knight worthy to face me.”

And like that, you've sealed your fate.

The green haired woman watched him leave and shook her head, “I’m almost certain that will be your undoing,” she said sauntering after him.

She's right, you know.

“If that is the case, then it will be at the hands of a true warrior. Such is the dream of all who live by the blade,” Scorpio stopped briefly and turned to the fallen squire, “Grow strong, Shining Armor.”

At least he's self aware, ish.

“It’s gettin’ late anyway,” Macintosh said holding his younger sister comfortingly, “I’m gonna need time to prepare the salts and fire to repel the Nightmares, so we probably should find someplace to rest for the night.”

He's right, you know. The night is full of a LOT of dangerous shit. Especially in settings like this.

He knew how he felt about his sister, but he wasn’t about to ever tell her. She was honest to a fault, unnaturally so. He knew that she’d reject him the second he told her his feelings.

I see...

He hoped they weren’t stubborn tonight.

Oh they will be.

They were already our of salts

OuT of salts.

“Goddess Celestia, Mother of Light, I pray to you,” he said softly, “I don’t care what form it takes. Grant me the power I need to protect my sister,” As he went back to work, he noticed that the sun began to shine briefly, as if shining on him directly.

Methinks you got her attention.

Once she finished her prayers, she sat back on her legs and let her gaze go up to the ceiling. At first glance, she wasn’t that much of a threat. She had long and full pink, purple, and golden hair that flowed down her back and over her shoulders, big purple eyes possessing an intense passion that often scared people first glance, and currently wore her favorite pink and white gown, white gloves, white high heels, and her golden tiara. For make up, she’d worn rose lipstick and mascara, not much, but she was surprisingly practical for royalty.

Princess Cadance. Also, at first glance.

“Your guess is as good as mine, Cadence,” Sunburst shrugged, “But I think I’ve at least made a breakthrough in my research on how to fight the Nightmares.”

Oho,

“Y-you’re welcome!” Sunburst called out after her, placing a hand on his cheek. He both loved his life, and hated it. He loved that he was on a first name basis with the Princess, but he hated knowing that for as affectionate as she was, he stood no chance with her.

Oh that's rough.

“I’m the Princess. My castle, my rules,”

She has you there, Shiny.

“A cave in the outskirts of the Kingdom! Got it!” Shining Armor rushed back into the castle, going to the barracks to get his Captain. He was NOT letting the Nightmares get another Maiden.

I get the feeling he's going to manage to get there at the last second.

Your my little sis,

You're.

The creature was black like the night sky, with purple swirls on its body, and a single red eye. And it wasn’t alone. Macintosh saw two rush to the fallen one’s side and help him up, and two more were seen jumping back and forth inhumanly in the trees.

OK, so they're smart enough to be somewhat tactical.

He quickly turned back to the cave just in time to see a portal to the Underworld open. Out of the portal walked a seductive woman with long straight neon green hair, green eye shadow and black lipstick, and long black nails, wearing a sexy dark green dress, fishnet stockings, and high heels.

Chrysalis.

“Hm, not bad,” Chrysalis said, apparently admiring the barrier, “The farm boy definitely seems to be a devout follower of Celestia. Shame I have to ruin such fine work!” she kicked some dirt over the salt, ruining the effectiveness of the already weak barrier.

That's all it takes to ruin the barrier?

“Fear not, m’lady!” the knight said through their helmet, overly dramatic and flamboyant sounding, “Your knight in shining armor has arrived!”

Not Shining, I suspect.

“Well met! Captain Melody, do NOT let those monster get the Maiden!” Shining armor ordered.

Melody, that means Octavia. Also, capitalize the A in armor.

Captain Melody was mostly focused on one Wisp, using much more elegant and controlled slashes with his broad sword.

Broadsword. One word.

Her figure was impossible to tell from inside of the armor, but now that he got a good look at it, he COULD tell that hers had more of a pronounced chest than her commanding officer.

Well, it's not a full on "breastplate" so, I suppose I'll take it.

“Oh, pardon!” Octavia said placing a hand over her mouth in shock, “I had no idea that you two had that sort of relationship! And I thought I was bold!” she turned away slightly, smirking.

They're siblings. By blood.

“Don’t you think I would if I could?!” Shining Armor shouted suddenly, alarming Macintosh. Shining Armor caught himself and relaxed as much as he could, “Unfortunately, we don’t have a means of entering the Underworld safely yet. And even if we did, Nightmares are stronger there without Celestia’s light to weaken them. It would be, a suicide mission.”

Oh fun.

“Almost isn’t good enough!” he shouted, shooting red electricity at Chrysalis, electrocuting her, “I ordered you to bring me the Maiden of Honesty, and thanks to you, the Crystal Knights now have her!”

Now that is classic Power Rangers Big Bad behavior. Minion failed? Blast 'em with lightning.

“We’ve already sent the Canis Brothers out to retrieve the Maiden of Generosity,” he released Chrysalis, “Anymore, and we risk straining our beloved Goddess’ energy.”

Canis, canine, wolf, Timberwolves or Diamond Dogs?

“Of course, Taurus. Smash anything you want. The more fear you build up, the stronger I become,” he stated.

Fearmonger. Well, it's very Sombra.

A new Azure Sandora story? I'm there immediately. I've said it before, but I'd honestly call you one of the best writers on the site.

Which future season of Power Rangers?

IT'S BEEN 84 YEARS. I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU RETURN.

Ok most of this whole series runs around the number 6 so who's the sixth ranger? Both MLP and Power Rangers revolve and a group of six. There are very few Sentai series that start off with less than 5 and there are far more that have obvious six Ranger characters from the beginning. Tommy was only introduced 5 episodes in what is their morphing call what are the weapons and Powers. Why are none of the six actually training to fight? If they are maidens that's no excuse because you can still go the princess Shayla route. While not shown it's implied she was trained by Merrick in their downtime and when she actually fights near the end of Wild Force that's the fruits of her training. At least have Twilight or one of the other extremely powerful mares of six trained in hand-to-hand combat. Just cause if they can't bear arms to defend themselves doesn't mean they can't still can fight with their limbs. I mean there has never been a ranger that is strictly a hand-to-hand fighter. The closest we have gotten is the SPD Omega Ranger with his Omega charge abilities. They've always had weapons AKA arms so they can defend themselves. If you make a ranger who is purely hand-to-hand with enhancements instead of weapons that would be actually freaking awesome. You can have the maidens have ranger forms that are backup similar to the Spirit Rangers from Jungle Fury.

Well Shiny is going to be the brash one isn’t he? Hopefully his teammates will help him keep his head cool. Hopefully it will be Big Mac as the leader.

Blame Celestia. She required them to be non violent. So she basically made them into large soft targets that have one job and that is all they can do to help. It makes me wonder why it took this long for a maiden to get captured.

10582342

The reason in story will be explained later as to why the Maidens have to be pacifistic, but I'll be completely honest with you. I'm a HUGE fan of the damsel in distress trope, and this story is my love letter to it.

So, try not to think too hard about it. Besides, as you'll see in the next few episodes, pacifism doesn't necessarily mean complacent.

10582376
The Ranger designs are completely original. This is just my idea for a Power Rangers story as done by Hasbro, since they now own both Power Rangers and My Little Pony.

So even if I reference things like "stock footage" and might even name the original Super Sentai show said stock footage comes from, it's all really just meant to be a joke. Like the jab at Chrysalis' actress being a bit lackluster. It's all just meant to give the illusion of you watching a real season of Power Rangers as it would probably be on TV.

10582349

As long as it will be addressed I am good.

I kinda lost me at the Non Con tag. Sorry.

I ain’t making the same mistake as Persona 6: REM, struggling to catch up. I’m not finishing this week without reading this

10582522
That's a shame, but fair. It's really just a blip, something that's barely even mentioned, but it is there. That said, I respect your honesty. :twilightsmile:

10582534
I plan on updating these chapters weekly like I did with Code Lyoko EG, so you'll have time to catch up.

10582387
I think I get it now. But you know I don think Hasbro will ever adapt another Sentai series into Power Rangers after Dino Fury.

10582591
All right, I should have no problem catching up. Work makes it hard to read fics daily. I kinda miss those days I could finish a fix in a few weeks, but that doesn’t bring food to my table

10582769
You do know Power Rangers isn't ENDING after Dino Fury. Just the current ones we've been following. For the first time in ages...... we're getting a TRUE BLOOD reboot of Power Rangers more then likely.

I'd call Azure THE best writer on the site. No, really, Code Lyoko EG and Chrono Reflect are some of the best stories I've ever read.

10582971
Well, I'd heard that their thing with Toei. was coming to an end, meaning no more adapting Super Sentai footage, but I wouldn't mind them continuing after Dino Fury. Honestly, the fact they chose Ryusolger instead of ANY of the other Super Sentai to adapt has me baffled.

This story, realistically could work though as a Power Rangers story. Hasbro owns MLP, so they could use these characters, and Power Rangers is easy.
10583014
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I can't discount other writers on this site. I may be up there for sure, but let's not overlook the other greats who have given us some fantastic work. Some of which inspired me. One such writer being the late MythrilMoth.

10583102
True. But I mean like a full line reboot back to Mighty Morphin'. No need to worry about if they're gonna run outta footage. I mean remember most of their best seasons were seasons that didn't RELY solely on Sentai footage...... need I remind you of NEO SABAN?

10583110
*shudders*

Let's, all try to forget Neo Saban...

10583111

You're right. That was a low blow and I'm sorry.

10583133
Daw....

But no honestly I'm excited now to see what the future of Power Rangers will have if this rumor about the movies and shows tying in better is gonna be true.

10583135
Here's to hoping it's a good direction. Seems lately, no one can get Power Rangers right. I'm hoping that I manage to get it right at least, despite the more mature rating I'm giving the story.

10583160
Wait hold on.... NOW I KNOW you're not sayin' Beast Morphers was bad. Because then we got some problems. I might need to throw hands. I don't fight nice girls but guuurl I'm ready to ditch that for a bit.

Oh, I'm not discounting any of those writers, Azure, but your ability to seamlessly combine MLP with other franchises and still capture the essence of the characters makes you my favorite writer on this site.

10582591
Now that you mention Code Lyoko EG: I’ve wanted to watch the series after reading the fic (never finished watching the show back to then. Latin American airing is ass). Wanted to watch it on YT, as the whole series was there. But I dunno, never liked watching series on a PC monitor, let alone a tablet for long periods of time. Funny Netflix happens to have it now. I’m mid S2

10583170
Oh no. Beast Morphers is a series I'm sure is good. I haven't watched all of it due to an issue with the zords my OCD mind can't get past, but I'm sure it's fine story wise.

I'm just an old timer who remembers when Lost Galaxy was new, fresh from the finale of In Space.

10583528

Well let's just say.... if you like dark stories with HUGE ASS plot twists..... you'll love Beast Morphers, especially a PARTICULAR twist regarding an ancient villain towards the end.

10583687
See, that DOES make me want to watch it. Like, a lot.

But, the Gold Ranger's Zord is NOT a praying mantis! It's a horned beetle! I watched the original Sentai of that one, so everytime they call that "Mantis Zord" I go into Twilight Sparkle level OCD. I know it's petty and I should just get over it, but... that stuff matters to me.

10583699

No I get it. I really do. But believe me when I say that the story telling for this is literally some of the series's BEST.

See non con tag, and Twilight kidnapped :applecry:......

10583965
Yeah...

I'm not going to spoil anything, but um... Twilight's not in the best place right now.

10583699
Oh please they called the Red Ranger's zord in RPM, the Eagle Zord, and it was actually a condor in the Sentai. Don't get me started on the Kirin being called the Griffin Zord.

10583993
Figures.... it’s Trix in Persona 6, and Rarity in Inner Demons “incident” all over again :fluttercry:. That speaks miles about your ability to transmit emotions :ajsmug: (dunno why I wrote that last one. It’s not like it’s the first time I do so :rainbowlaugh:)

10584186
Yeah, that makes me curious. Haven’t watched Power Rangers since SPD :rainbowlaugh:

10584199
Anything after Mystic Force is crap.
Not missing much

10584253
Yeah, I was getting away from Power Rangers since Wild Force (liked Ninja Storm tho) . Finally culminating with SPD. Never cared about the franchise since then. In fact, I didn’t even know they were still making more Power Rangers for years, and I don’t know how many more entries have been since then.
Then again, I can’t deny I had fun with their first entries, specially Mighty Morphing and Time Force. However, I’m not seeing myself returning to this either

10584199
Well, RPM was pretty good, and I've heard good things about Beast Morphers.

But, the ones after RPM are, questionable, to say the least. This story I'm trying to make more in line with the quality of the Saban post Zordon era. So Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and Wild Force kinda sorta.

10584047
See, while those are bad, I can forgive them since they weren't so clearly wrong.

In Go Busters/Beast Morphers, I see the so called "Mantis Zord" and all I see is a Kabuto Beetle, clear as day. I can understand them not knowing the other two you mentioned, but confusing Kabuto Beetle with a Praying Mantis?

My OCD can't. I'm sorry.

10584389
Wild Force kinda soured on me over time, and I barely watched all pre Time Force because DirectTv in Latin America didn’t have Fox Kids, the network which aired Power Rangers in Latin America until Time Force. I had to rely on other TVs with alternative cable TVs and pray they were airing said Power Rangers any chance I could get. Hence why I barely watched those, because I couldn’t.

I may have had some luck if I’ve watched local networks, but I’ve stopped watching those channels since I’ve returned from my first visit to the US

10584622
I getcha. Well, I hope you enjoy my story regardless.

10584713
:pfffff:. You wrote it. Of course I will :raritywink:
