Tommy Oliver the original green Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger finds himself in another world filled with anthropomorphic ponies. When a new evil arrives in the peaceful land of Equestria he must take up the mantel of the green power ranger once again.
I thought I was finally done. But apparently life doesn't let people have 'simple lives' after what I've been through.
Oh, sorry. Just lamenting over things. See I used to be a very...special person. Saved the world too many times too count, but being a hero isn't all sunshine and rainbows...it was terrible. And irony decided to slap me in the face with going into a world literally filled with sunshine and rainbows. How did I get myself dragged into this?
My names Tommy Oliver, and I suppose it's still cheesy but...it's Morphing Time once again.
“Oh God my head.” I said as woke up face down on the ground in my own drool. Yeah, real great way to wake up.
I slowly got up from the wooden floor of my home. As I stood up and got my balance again, I noticed that my house still pretty much intact and that only few books were on the ground. I walked over to the giant book shelf that I had and picked up the books that were on the ground and put them back in there respective places.
I walked over to the bathroom and turned on the water and let it run for minute. I hope the rest of the house is alright. You see the thing is I live in a pretty big house. A three story modern style house with three floors and a basement. I kind of kept adding on to the house over the past few years which got it to be to good size. I have my own personal library which actually takes up the whole third floor. It would be an understatement to say that I love to read a lot.
“What the hell happened last night?” I said as I splashed some cold water on my face. I looked into the mirror and saw that I had a bruise on my forehead. I shut off the water as memories of the previous night came to me.
I was grading papers for the high school class that I teach when my house began to shake. The tremors got worse, I assumed it was an earthquake and figured that it would be safer outside of the house. When I got up to get out of the house the earthquake caused me to trip and knock myself out on my coffee table. Pretty lame I know.
At that moment I heard a series of knocks at the door.
*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!* *KNOCK!*
“Who could that be?” I said quietly to myself.
I live a little ways out of town. I like my privacy but I have nothing against visitors.
*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!* *KNOCK!*
“Just a second! I’m coming!” I called out again only to for whoever was outside to begin hitting the doorbell repeatedly.
“Real mature!” I said as opened the door to see what I could only describe as six anthro pony girls that were standing in front of me with eyes wide in surprise.
To say that I was shocked at what I saw would be an understatement. I did what any brave man would do in this position.
I heard the sound of repeated beeping. As I slowly opened my eyes only to find my vision blurred. The bright lights didn’t help.
It took a few minutes before my vision finally came back to me fully. I turned to see that the beeping was coming from a heart monitor.
“Just a dream. It was all-” I started.
“Oh thank Celestia your aright!” A very feminine said with what sounded like a mixture of joy and relief to me.
I turned my head to see where the voice came from. When I did… Let’s just say that, saying I was surprised would be an understatement. In front of me was the six pony girls that were knocking on my front door.
“-not a dream!” I said as I tried to get up from the hospital bed only to find that I couldn’t move because my wrists and ankles were fastened tightly in restraints to the bed.
I began to thrash against the restraints in an attempt to get free but it was to no avail. The six girls surrounded me.
I began to thrash against my restraints even harder as they got closer.
“Sir, please calm down! You’re going to hurt yourself!” The purple one with the horn said.
“Shit! This is bad! Not again!” I screamed mentally as I saw that I was surrounded by unknown creatures.
Now you’re probably wondering what I meant by ‘Not again!’. Allow me to explain, I’ve had a lot of run in’s with strange creatures.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I’m a high school teacher at my towns local high school in the state of California. I have a doctorate in paleontology. I know I sound like the run of the mill guy but I have had my runs in with some strange creatures that have tried to kill me on multiple occasions. You can see why I would be weary of strange creatures.
One of the girls was shouting something but I couldn’t hear her as I began screaming in anger. This was not how I was going to go down.
“Let me go!” I shouted in anger.
“Sir please calm down!” One of the nurses said as she ran into the room with a doctor.
“Like hell I’m gonna calm down! I’ve been abducted by aliens!” I shouted as I kept up my attempts to escape.
“Sir, we’ll take the restraints off of you if you just calm down, please.” The female nurse pleaded which caused me to pause for a moment.
“…Fine.” I reluctantly agreed. The nurse walked over to me and undid the restraints. As the nurse undid my restraints I noticed that she looked like a young woman mixed with a pony. I have to say that she was quite the looker. She wore regular nurse’s attire along with a nurse’s hat. She had white fur that covered her body. She was slightly shorter than me but not by much. As her fingers undid the restraints and I noticed that she had a muzzle and her ears were on the top of her head. Another thing that caught me off guard was the fact that she had hoofs for feet. I looked around and noticed that some of them had horns while others had wings and some of them had neither. As she undid the last restraint I rubbed my wrists.
“And for the record, technically you’re the alien.” She giggled.
That threw me through a loop and raised alarms in my head. I needed answers.
These creatures have not attacked me yet, and quite frankly they look pretty harmless. But I learned a long time ago that looks can be deceiving. I’ve always believed that the non-violent route was the best. I'll be nice to these girls and see if I can get some answers. If worst comes to worst I could try to fight my way out and make a run for it. But hopefully it won’t come to that. We’ll just have to wait and see.
“We’re sorry that you woke up like that, but when you passed out you seized up acted like you were in a seizure. The doctors had to restrain you for your own safety. We weren’t going to hurt you!” Twilight quickly added the last part. This caused the creature to look a little more at ease but he was still on guard.
“Where am I?” He asked.
“You’re in Ponyville hospital.” Rarity answered.
“Never heard of it. What country is that?” He replied with a look of confusion.
“You’re in the country of Equestria.” Twilight answered, this only the creature that was in front of her.
Twilight had so many questions for him. She could obviously tell that he was a male and that he was very intelligent just by the way he was talking. She was talking to a member of an unknown species. This was one of the most exciting moments in her life. She grew more excited as the thoughts of what she could learn from this new creature came flooding through her mind. She thought back to how she found him.
She was just inside her library and catching up on her studies until she felt the ground shake. At first she thought it was an earthquake but when she grabbed her #1 assistant and ran outside she saw that there was dark black clouds in the sky, green lightning was shooting from the sky. At that moment a giant bolt of neon green lightning slammed into an open field that was off in the distance. She saw a strange looking house that was big by normal standards out in the field appear out of nowhere as the smoke cleared from the blast.
A few moments later she received a letter that from the Princess that read as such.
To my faithful student,
As I am sure you are aware a very powerful surge of magic unlike anything I have ever felt before. I pray that you and the others are alright and that the earthquake did not harm any of you.
I’m am sorry to ask this of you but I sense a very powerful presence in Ponyille. I never sensed such a powerful presence before in my life. The power of this presence is almost as strong as mine, maybe even stronger. Luckily, I sense no evil or malice from this presence. But please be cautious either way. I need you and the other elements of harmony to investigate what this new presence is. I am currently looking into what could have possibly caused this magical surge.
-Your friend and mentor, Princess Celestia
She gathered up her friends and they all ran to the house while she told them about the letter. When they all got there they all saw a very weird looking house. The house was beautiful, but it looked like it was sort of futuristic.
Twilight thought back to the moment she first saw the man that was in front of her.
“Hurry up Twilight! I wanna see what this ‘ultra-powerful’ thing is! He’s probably not even strong at all!” Rainbow Dash said impatiently.
“Rainbow Dash, the Princess told me in her letter that this was a very powerful being that’s almost as strong as her! This being is most likely thousands of years old and very wise! Besides the Princess said that she could not sense any evil or ill intentions in it so we should not provoke it. The Princess wants us to befriend it.” Twilight explained.
“Oooh I can’t wait to throw him a party and I can’t wait to be his friend!” Pinkie squealed.
“Well darling, whoever this being is, they have exquisite taste in housing.” Rarity said as she looked at the house.
“It is a beautiful home.” Applejack said as Twilight knocked on the door.
*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!* *KNOCK!*
They all waited for a moment but heard nothing for a moment. Applejack knocked again.
*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!* *KNOCK!*
This time they got a response.
“Just a second! I’m coming!” A masculine voice called out.
Rainbow Dash grew impatient and began ringing the doorbell repeatedly.
“Real mature!” The voice called out but this time it sounded closer.
When the door opened they were shocked at what they saw.
Standing in front of them was a creature that looked like it was a furless primate. It had a black mane on the top of its head that was kept short and slightly spiked up. He wore black cargo pants with a black leather jacket with a dark green t-shirt underneath and black combat boots to top it all off. He looked fit, very muscular. Not as muscular as Big Mac but enough that those who saw him knew he could hold his own in a fight. Judging by his appearance he looked young. Like he was a young adult. Judging by the build of the body, it was obvious to them that he was a male.
Before anypony could say anything, he passed out and fell backwards onto the floor.
The mares quickly ran to his side and checked to see if he was alright.
“For a big guy he sure passed out like a wuss.” Dash said only to receive glares from the others except from Fluttershy who was still examining the passed out man.
“H-He should be fine, he just has a small bruise on his forehead. He’s just passed out, w-we should move him to that couch.” Fluttershy said in a tone that was barely above a whisper. The mares followed the animal lovers’ instructions as they all lifted him up and laid him on the couch.
“What is he?” Rainbow asked.
“I don’t know… I’ve never seen anything like him before.” Twilight explained.
“He’s a human!” Pinkie giggled.
“Pinkie, humans are just a myth.” Twilight said with a deadpan stare. Pinkie only giggled giddily.
“Hey! We should look around and see what’s in here!” Rainbow Dash said with a mischievous grin.
“Rainbow Dash, are you saying ya’ saying we snoop around another pony’s home?” Applejack said with stern glare.
“I too am quite interested myself, if only for curiosity’s sake. Besides, the princess did want us to investigate.” Rarity said with a hand on her chin.
“Oooh, he might have some fun stuff! He might even have some books for you Twilight!” Pinkie giggled.
Twilight felt her curiosity get the better of her.
“…Fine, but don’t touch anything!” Twilight said as they all nodded in agreement.
They all began wandering around the house and looking around.
After wandering around for a bit, Applejack and Rainbow Dash found themselves in what appeared to be a personal workout room. Weight sets and workout out machines were set up around the room.
“Look at that AJ, a stallion that likes to workout. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted? A big strong stallion that will love you and hold you in his big, strong, muscular arms.” Dash teased the apple farmer which made her blush.
“Just because I want a stallion that can help out on the farm and can keep up with me doesn’t me I’m asking for the impossible.” Applejack defended.
“Besides, it sounds like you’ve been borrowing Rarity’s romance novels again.” Applejack said with a smirk to which Dash’s face turned bright red like a tomato.
“H-Hey, let’s check out the next room!” Rainbow nervously stated before flying into another room in an attempt to avoid the subject.
“Woah!” A surprised Rainbow shouted in the next room.
“You okay Rainbow?” Applejack asked with concern as she ran to see if her friend was alright.
When she entered the next room she gasped in surprise and shock.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash were both standing in a huge room. On the walls were swords, knives, bow staffs, Sais, and daggers that were all neatly organized.
On the other side of the room were some punching bags of varying sizes and a couple of wooden dummies that have seen a lot of use.
“This place is a dojo.” Applejack said.
“A bucking good one.” Rainbow added with an amazed tone.
“You think he’s some kind of elite guard?” Applejack asks.
“Definitely, I mean look at all of these weapons…Aw sweet a katana!” Dash said only to be distracted.
“Common Dash, We’re just looking around. You can’t just go messing with the stallion’s stuff.” She said as she pulled Rainbow away from the sword.
“Aw come on!” She said as she was dragged out of the room.
Pinkie Pie was hopping around with a smile on her face as she looked around the house with Rarity following closely behind her. They both came upon a bed room which was quite spacious. Rarity gasped when she spotted the man’s closet. It was a walk in closet. She saw a few suits, causal cloths, streetwear, and a few leather jackets. Other than that the closet was only half full.
Rarity instantly fell in love with the fashion and style of the clothing.
“Oh Pinkie darling, you must look at this! This stallion has excellent taste in fashion!” Rarity said as she admired the clothing.
“OH MY GOSH!” Pinkie gasped causing Rarity to walk out of the closet in concern.
“Darling are you alright?” The young fashionista asked with worry as she walked up to Pinkie Pie.
“He’s got the PonyStation 4 and the Pbox one!” Pinkie gasped.
“I have no idea what a Pbox is, but I do know they just released the PonyStation 1 last month. I remember because I bought one for Sweetiebelle.” Rarity said.
“Face it, you like to nerd out some time and play video games like all of us.” Pinkie said with a sly grin spreading across her face.
“S-So I picked up a controller a few times. That does not make me a gamer, I am still a lady!” Rarity said with a blush.
“Pony Fantasy 7 just came out.” Pinkie said.
“WHAT! WHEN!?” Rarity shrieked.
“I rest my case.” Pinkie said with a sly grin, causing Rarity to blush as she tried to stutter out a reply.
Twilight and Fluttershy were walking up the stairs to the third floor. They had just got done investigating the second floor, the only thing that she found of interest was a private office. It was very organized and had a couple bookshelves full of reference material. She skimmed through some of the books.
She wanted to stay and read them all but she knew she couldn’t. She had to check the rest of the house to see if he was a threat. Even if he did prove to be a threat or even a major one they would still try to establish peace with him and hopefully he would accept it. But from what she saw he seemed like he was very peaceful judging by his home. But that didn’t mean anything. What disturbed her the most was the fact that the Princess said that he was almost as powerful as her if not more.
She remembered something odd about the office. There was a globe that did not seem accurate at all. The land masses were all wrong. There were countries that she never even heard of. This could only lead her to the conclusion that he was from another world. It was far-fetched, yes. But it was the only thing that she could think of.
The books that he had also caught her attention. They were mainly on the subject of paleontology and cryptozoology. The paleontology book was filled with creatures that she had never even heard of. This was phenominal! She didn’t think much on the books on cryptozoology, but she loved to learn about new things and was happy to read it. She looked through it and noticed something very strange. It mentioned manicores, cockatrices, griffins and many of things that are in Equestria. But what got her attention the most and sent her mind whirling was that fact that it had articles on unicorns, Pegasus, dragons, and alicorns. They were all mere legends according to these books. They pictures of the Pegasus and unicorns in the book looked weird. They walked on for legs and the proportions were all wrong.
“Just what is this creature?” Twilight asked herself as she read the book.
Then she noticed something. All of the articles on dragons were underlined or circled in red marker.
“Hey Fluttershy, take a look at this.” Twilight said as she showed Fluttershy the book.
“I don’t understand. How can we be myths? We’re standing right here.” Fluttershy said softly.
“I think he’s an alien… I mean I took a look at the globe over there and it’s definitely not a globe of Equis.” Twilight said as she put the book back.
That was fifteen minutes ago, before checking the rest of the second floor. They saw that it was mainly bedrooms and a living area and some bathrooms. They were amazed at how big the house was.
They finally reached the third floor. What they saw made them go wide eyed and their ears stand up in surprise. The whole third floor was just one gigantic liberary. Aisles and aisles of books stretched out across the floor. Twilight immediately went wide eyed at what she saw, the place even had a sitting area.
“Oh…My…God.” Twilight said in a shocked voice as she ran to the nearest shelf of books. There was everything from textbooks that you would see in universities to novels. All categories of books were there and they were organized in the most efficient way she has ever seen. There were even signs above the aisles that let you know what section you were in. Whoever this stallion was, he had excellent taste when it came to books. She wouldn’t be surprised if he had every book that there was. It made her library look like nothing. Heck, it rivaled Celestia’s personal library.
Twilight became giddy with excitement as she jumped around like a school filly.
There were books on all subjects. History, Economics, Psychology, Anotomy, Physics, and so much more. She quickly picked up the Physics book and read a couple chapters. What she read was amazing.
“This is way beyond our understanding of Physics! This could revolutionized science!” She said out loud. She then picked up a book on technology. She read page after page of the first few chapters. She saw things that she couldn’t even imagine. She saw advanced medical care equipment, what appeared to be motorized carriages that the book called ‘cars’, flying machines that the book called an ‘airplane’.
After skimming through the book some more she moved on to another text book. This one had creatures that were called dinosaurs, she was amazed. Their some that were circled but she didn’t know why,. The names were hard for her to pronounce them accurately but she read on anyway. She found it very interesting.
When she walked through the aisles of books Twilight noticed a big section on dinosaurs. As she looked at the books she noticed that one of them was a book about dragons. Being the neat freak that she was, Twilight grabbed the book.
“This shouldn’t be here, this should be in the dragonology section.” Twilight said with a frown at the slight disorganization.
“There is just no excuse for such carelessness.” She said as she opened the book. To her surprise she found that the book was hollowed out.
“How could he destroy a book like this!? This is-” Twilight gasped only to be caught off guard by what she found. Inside of the book was an old leather bound journal that looked like it had seen many years of use.
“What’s this?” She said she dusted off the journal.
“T-This is a journal…it wouldn’t be right for me to read this.” She said to herself.
“But… I need to see if he is dangerous.” Twilight said as her curiosity got the better of her.
“Let’s see.” She opened the journal to the very first page.

Well...I've just officially joined the team... So now I am officially a good guy as of today... It's not like I hoped it would be.... The whole team has been nice to me and very supportive but I can tell that they don't trust me... Who would after what I've done... I've decided to keep this journal, why I don't know. Peace of mind? Maybe... All I know, is that I need some sleep. I'm writing this while sitting in the lounge area of the command center... Everyone is trying so hard to help me. After all I've done, why would they want to help me? I'll do everything that I can to earn their trust and I'll make up for what I've done...I have to.
I talked to Billy today, he told me not to worry and that things will get better. Nice guy. He's a good friend.
Twilight wondered who this team was. Whoever they were they sounded very forgiving and understanding. But she wondered what the mysterious stallion did to have trouble earning his friends trust. What concerned her the most was what he wrote, “So now I am officially a good guy as of today.”.
“What did he mean by that?” She thought as she went on to read the next entry.

It’s been a month since my last entry. I’m here at home in my bedroom, just got done with the 2 ton pile of homework Ms. Appleby gave us today. But that’s high school for you.
It’s weird, I’ve been sitting here the whole time and can’t believe how this all came to be. I have superpowers, freaking superpowers! And I have no idea what to do with them. The others have them as well. I’m happy that we’re all doing the super hero thing but I personally think we should train harder. The things that were fighting are LITERALLY trying to kill us. I mean we’re strong against regular people, but we’re going against monsters. MONSTERS! The worst part is that these things are smart! I mean they are organized and they are as intelligent as you and me. They can talk and hold full conversations. They form plans and they want to kill us all.
I told the others about this, they agreed as well. Me and the guys brought in some old workout equipment to the command center.
It really ties the place together. The girls were happy to say the least. They were worried that they were gaining weight and happy to have the opportunity to workout whenever they want. I told them that they were fine but they didn’t believe me, but it made them happy.
Maybe I should mess around with my powers at the lake or something. Nobody goes there during the week. It will give me some time myself. Besides, it’s really beautiful there this time of year... Things have been a little tough lately. I’ve been on edge lately. So have the others.
We had to go after another monster. It managed to kill 12 people before we could stop it… They didn’t deserve to die… I don’t know what to do… I think the hardest part is that their loved ones have no idea how they died. When we fight these monsters we have to make sure that the battles are kept secret and that nobody knows that these monsters existence. Don’t get me wrong. If someone sees we don’t do anything to them, we just get out of there. By doing this we take down these sick freaks and prevent others from getting hurt. We have to keep our identities secret. That’s why I’m only going to use first names only in this journal and not go into too much detail about things.
It’s getting late, I can hear mom calling me for dinner. I’ll go eat and play catch with dad in the yard afterwards and then I’ll get to bed.
Twilight was shocked by what she read. It sounded like this creature was part of some secret superhero team.
“Nah, that’s absurd. He’s was probably part of some secret guard unit or something that fought some unknown hostile creatures. Besides monsters don’t exist.” She thought to herself as flipped to the next page.

Another monster attack happened. Me and the others were in class at the time. When it happened we were all moved to the auditorium and told to duck under the bleachers. We managed to slip away when all of the school’s students were moved there. We teleported to the area of the attack managed to kill it. By the time we got there were already heavy casualties. I managed to sketch a picture of the thing.
This sick freak managed to kill 50 people at a construction site. With all of these powers, I still feel powerless. Me and the others can’t stop thinking about what happened. Our boss who I shall not name, said that this was not our fault. He said that this was an unfortunate result of the evil that we must fight.
The thing that got me the most was that our boss promoted me as the leader. Everyone agreed with him and said that I showed great leadership. I thanked them for their confidence in me but told them that I wasn't cut out to be a leader. Unfortunately I couldn't talk them out of it. So now I am officially their leader.
It still doesn’t help me sleep at night. I haven’t been sleeping much really. Not since the fighting against these things started.
Twilight gasped as she read more and more. From what she could tell this stallion and his friends were fighting in some secret war, and the worst part they were just children that were still in highschool. What terrified her the most was the picture of the demonic looking monster.

I FUCKED UP! NO SEROIUSLY, I FUCKED UP BIG TIME!
Remember how I said that I was going to mess around with my powers so I could train with them, right? Well I did, but first I need to explain something.
The way powers work are like this, to activate my powers fully I need to transform. When I’m not transformed, I can still use my powers but only at a fraction of their full strength.
When I went to the lake I used the full strength of my powers……part of the forest that surrounds the lake is gone. How this happened I will not say but apparently when I fired that blast it was so strong that it blew my cloths of…underwear included.
I literally had to run back to the command center stark ass naked. The worst part was that I had to go through the city. I had to duck behind buildings and alley ways. I almost got spotted 12 times! I managed to get through downtown and make my way out of town and through the local canyon. That was a total of 15 miles! When I finally got back to the command center I thought I was home free. I ran inside and let out a sigh of relief.
…Only to turn and see that the girls were inside the command center as well, staring at me with shocked expressions as huge blushes spread across their faces.
I ran out of the room and too my own personal room that was kept there. We each have our own living quarters there in case we ever run into trouble at home or if we just want to stay there.
After I put on some new clothing I walked out of the room only to see the girls standing there, still blushing. I immediately apologized and told them what happened. They were both very understanding. But they asked me something that made my mouth drop.
“Why didn’t you just teleport back to your room here?” They both asked.
I can’t believe that I forgot about that. I am such an idiot.
Twilight couldn’t help but giggle at this and was thankful that this entry wasn’t gloomy like the others.

I'm pinned down in the local rock quarry, I'm currently hiding in a cave. Those things are not easing up! There pissed off at me for turning on them. It was those bastards fault! That bitch they work for put me under her control with her magic against my will! Can you fucking believe that! Fucking magic! If you had told me that magic was real I would have told you to go see a psychiatrist. She used her magic to take control of me and made me fight for her, but now I'm free and that's all that matters, and my friends are here for. But I have the last laugh, I still have the powers that she gave me and I'm going to get my revenge on her. She won't hurt anyone ever again. I just got to wait for the others to get here and help me.
God my leg is killing me, one of the patrollers managed to get me good in the left leg, I can still use it but I just need to rest. I've been fighting those things all day.
Shit! Somethings coming! it's getting-
____________________________________________
Sorry about that, five enemies found me but I managed to take them down... That was three hours ago, I managed to sneak out of the cave and meet up with the others. They dealt with the rest of the enemy. So we managed to get back safe and sound.

The past 2 weeks have been quiet. No monster attacks. The team has been inviting me to hang out. I’ve been kind of busy for the past week. They’ve been worried about me. They came over to my house today and invited me to go to the beach today. The girls were already wearing their bathing suits and smiling at me.
Around that time my dad and mom came walking into the room and overheard the entire conversation.
“You aren’t going to turn down these two lovely young ladies now are you son?” Mom asked me.
“Go enjoy yourself son, you work so hard in school. You need a break. Here go enjoy yourself.” Dad said as he handed me a couple of fifties. I was pretty surprised by that, I thanked him.
“Go on son, you don’t want to keep these pretty girls waiting.” Mom said with a giggle and a wink.
We all took Jason’s car, it was one of the best days I’ve ever had. We all had a lot of fun at the beach.

Today the school was attacked by another monster that bitch sent after us, the monsters entered the school and began attacking everyone. We managed to take out a lot of them. Luckily none of the students or faculty got hurt or killed this time. The police rushed into the school and saw us fighting against the monsters and actually winning. Luckily they figured out that we were on their side very fast. They even fought alongside us. But that lead to another problem.
They saw us. The police saw us along with the whole school! Worst of all, one of the cops that was there was my father!
I slashed one of the monsters while my dad kept firing his pistol at them. He managed to take down a few. The whole time he didn’t know it was me due to me morphing. One of the monsters got him in the leg but I carried him out of there while the cops provided us with support fire. We managed to clear out the whole school.
The lead monster did what they always do and grew to the size of a skyscraper. We managed to take it down but it did cause some damage. I’ve seen movies were giant monsters fight before but this is just ridicules at how many times this happens in our city. I’m just glad that I don’t have to pay the bill.
The whole world knows about us now. They don’t know our identities but they know that we exist now and that we’re always going to protect them. They even called us a hero on TV. Dad’s alright. His leg will take a couple of weeks to heal but he’ll be fine. Dad kept saying that he was saved by a super hero dressed in dark green battle armor.
He didn’t know that it was me. It’s probably better this way.
(End Song)
Twilight stopped reading the journal. She was amazed at what she just read.
Twilight began to put the books away back in their original spots.
Around that time Fluttershy was on the other side of the library and was looking at the animal books. She was smiling as she was looking at a picture of baby otters playing with each other. Around that time she felt something begin to lick her hand. She let out a tiny ‘eep’ out of surprise. She turned only to see a German Shepard that was sitting there panting happily.
“Oh a doggy!” he said happily as she walked over to the dog and began to pet him to which he happily barked at the attention being given to him. The dog began to lick Fluttershy’s face to which she giggled.
Around that time Twilight walked towards Fluttershy as she hid the journal that she found in her skirt.
“You okay Fluttershy?” She asked and smiled when she saw Fluttershy petting the dog.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I just found this little guy here. I wonder what his name is?” Fluttershy asked as she looked at the dogs tag that hung from his collar.
“Saban… That’s a nice name. I like it.” Fluttershy smiled before turning back to Twilight.
“What was that book you put in your skirt?” Fluttershy asked.
“W-What book!? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Twilight said only for Fluttershy to give her a cute pout.
“Don’t lie to me Twilight… If that’s alright with you.” Fluttershy whispered.
“Alright.” Twilight sighed in defeat as she pulled out the journal.
“I found a journal that I think belongs to the stallion downstairs…and I read some of it.” Twilight said as she handed the journal to Fluttershy.
“Twilight that wasn’t very nice. You shouldn’t read others dairies. You should know better!” Fluttershy said with a cute pout as she began to scold her friend.
“I know! I know! But I had to see if he was a threat! You should read what was in this!” She said as she opened the journal up and showed it to her.
Before she could protest she found her curiosity get the better of her as she read the same entries that Twilight read. Fluttershy immediately began to shake at what she just read.
“M-Monsters!” Fluttershy gasped.
“Yeah, from what I read he must have been part of some secret group of knights or something that fought monsters. But you can’t tell anypony about this.” Twilight told her friend.
“Why?” She asked with confusion.
“Because if the others find out they won’t be able to keep a secret. Rarity loves to gossip too much, Dash can’t keep a secret, Applejack can’t lie or keep a secret, and Pinkie would probably let it slip out by accident.” Twilight explained.
“I-I still don’t understand?” Fluttershy stuttered.
“We have no idea how the stallion down stairs would react to finding out that we read this. Besides, this will help us learn more about him. The princess did ask us to do this. I need you to promise me that you won’t tell anypony.” Twilight pleaded.
“But I-”
“Please Fluttershy!” Twilight pleaded.
“…O-Okay… I promise.” She said with a hint of disappointment.
“Thank you Fluttershy.” Twilight said with a smile.
Around that time the dog barked and ran to another room it looked back at them for a moment and barked again as if he wanted them to follow him. They followed him out of the library and into a room that they didn’t even know was there.
The wall in the room had pictures of men and woman. Under the names were dates of birth and dates of death. There was another wall that was across the room but this seemed different, It had pictures of many people, many of them young and above it, it said 'Those that have moved on'.
“What is this?” Fluttershy asked.
“I think this is a memorial wall… To honor the dead.” Twilight answered which got a gasp out of Fluttershy.
“We should meet up with the others.” Twilight said to which Fluttershy nodded as they all went down stairs.
The girls were all down stairs and saw that the man was still passed out on the couch.
“What did you girls find?” Twilight asked.
“Pinkie and I searched his bedroom, I must say he has exquisite taste in fashion!” Rarity said.
“And game systems!” Pinkie added with a giggle and smile.
“We found an awesome dojo!” Rainbow Dash said with a smile.
“He has a ton of weapons and in that dojo. I think he might be some type of knight or something.” Applejack said as she scratched her head and placed her hat back on her head.
“A knight! Finally my knight in shining armor has come for me!” Rarity said as her eyes twinkled.
“Actually that would make sense, from what I can tell he must be some type of elite guard or at least a knight.” Twilight said as she remembered what she read in the journal.
“I found a library filled with books on every subject, he even has his own office. His race is far more advanced than ours, that’s for sure. I mean just think of how much his knowledge could help advance Equestria, the entire world could benefit from him-” Twilight began to rant only to realize that she was getting side tracked.
“he he… Sorry.” She said with a sheepish grin.
“We found some kind of memorial wall… Most of them were very young. I think they’re his friends.” She said.
Pinkie’s ears drooped at hearing this.
“That’s so sad.” Pinkie Pie said with her eyes brimming with tears.
“A knight honoring his fallen comrades, years after they’re death! Mourning them as he is forever alone!” Rarity said with tears in her eyes.
They all looked at the man that was laying down on the couch unconscious. But at that moment he started to go into convulsions.
“He’s seizing up! Quick, hold him down!” Twilight said as the man was going into convulsion.
“We need to get him to the hospital!” Twilight said as she teleported the man and her friends to the hospital.
Twilight watched as the man in front of her looked surprised. He then looked out the hospital room’s window and saw his house off in the distance. He began to panic when he finally realized that he was not on Earth anymore.
“W-Where am I?” He said as he began to panic more.
“I told you, were-”
“No! I mean what planet are we on!?” He shouted.
“Um…Equis.” Twilight told the young man to which he began to panic.
“I…I…I’m in another world.” Was all he could say as he seem to zone out as his eyes seemed to lose some of the light in them.
“I-It’s okay, everything is going to be okay.” Twilight said only to be interrupted.
“I’m in another world!” He said as he jumped up and began to panic. The girls tried to get him to sit down. But he seemed to be out of it. After a while he managed to calm his breathing down.
“Listen, I know that you are scare but everything’s going to be okay. The Princess sent us to see what you were and maybe she can help you.” Twilight said with a reassuring smile as she tried to calm the man down.
“Y-You’re right… I just need to calm down.” He said as he managed to calm down.
“You must have a lot of family and friends back home that miss you for you to be so worried.” Twilight said a worried expression.
“Not really. I don’t have many friends.” He said with a sad expression.
“Why not? Friends are one of the most important things in life!” Twilight said with a smile.
“Many of my friends have moved in life or are… no longer around.” He said the last part with a hint of sadness in his voice. Twilight instantly remembered the memorial wall.
“Oh my gosh I’m so sorry, I completely forgot about your memorial wall!” Twilight panicked that she offended him.
“Wait a minute! You searched through my house!” The man said as his anger rose.
“N-No we didn’t it!” Twilight tried to lie to the man but failed miserably. He stared at all of them as they all smiled sheepishly.
“What rooms did you search?” He asked to which she began to sweat as her eyes darted around nervously.
“What… Rooms... Did you search?” He asks as he gritted his teeth.
“F-First floor, b-bedrooms on the second floor, and the third f-floor library…a-and the memorial r-room!” Twilight said nervously.
The young man took a deep breath in order to try and calm himself.
“At least they didn’t check the basement, my lab equipment is in there. Judging by the looks of the purple one I can already tell that she is a bookworm. But most of all they didn’t find the hidden room there.” He thought.
“Why did you search my house?” He asked.
“B-Because we were scared!” Twilight said. This caught the man off guard.
“W-What?” He said with a confused expression.
“You’re an alien that appeared out of nowhere! We were scared that you might be dangerous and a threat to our friends and families! We were just making sure that you wouldn’t hurt us!” Twilight said with fear in her voice.
“I-I’m sorry… I didn’t know.” He said with surprise in his voice.
“I would never hurt the innocence. I know we got off to a rocky start but I can assure you that I would never hurt any of you or your loved ones.” He said with gentle and sincere smile.
The girls all seemed to calm down at his words.
“We’re sorry that we went into your house, darling. But it is as Twilight said, we had to make sure.” Rarity said.
“I understand and it’s fine.” He said.
“My name is Tommy Oliver.” The human said with a smile.
“My name is Twilight Sparkle, personal student of Princess Celestia.” Twilight said with a smile.
“My names Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in Equestria!” Rainbow says with a laugh as she demonstrates by flying around the room.
“I’m Applejack, I run and own Sweet Apple Acres. We grow the best apples in all of Equestria!” She says as she tips her hat to him with a smile.
“I-I’m Flutteshy, I t-take c-care of animals.” She stutters barely loud enough for Tommy to hear.
“I’m Rarity, premiere fashion designer and fashionista, I must say darling I simply love your sense of style.” Rarity says gaining a smile from the man.
“Aaaaand I’m Pinkie Pie! Ponyvilles local party planner and baker!” Pinkie Pie said.
“Oh-my-gosh-you’re-an-alien!-Do-you-like-parties-I-like-parties!-Do-you-wanna-be-my-bestest-best-friend!” Pinkie Pie says to which the man could only blink in surprise.
“Um… Yes I like parties and yes I would love to be your ‘bestest best’ friend Pinkie Pie.” He said to which she quickly tackled/hugged him to which he could only chuckle as she giggled.
“I have to ask darling, what are you?” Rarity asked.
“I’m a human. The scientific term for my species would be Homo Sapiens.” He said to which Twilight gasped in shock.
“Told you!” Pinkie cheered as she sat on the man’s lap and wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug.
“T-This is huge! I have so many questions!” Twilight shouts as she quickly makes a quill, ink well, and a scroll of parchment appear out of nowhere. His eyes went wide as he saw them floating in the air surrounded by a purple aura.
“H-How did you do that?” He asked in surprise.
“What? I just used my magic to make these appear.” She said with a tilt of her head.
“You have magic in this world!” He said with surprise in his voice.
“Yeah, as a unicorn me and Rarity are able to use magic directly. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are Pegasus, they magic they have is much different, it allows them to control the weather and fly. Pinkie Pie and Applejack are earth ponies, their magic gives them incredible physical strength and allows them to grow crops and gems from the soil and earth itself.” Twilight explained to Tommy.
“So wait a minute you’re um…”
“We’re ponies!” Pinkie cheered with a cute giggle as she continued to hug him.
That sent me through a loop. But I could see what she was saying. They did have some horse like features. As I stared at them I saw that they had fur all over their bodies and they had muzzles, they even had tails and hooves for feet but they also had a lot of human features as well and they wore cloths as well. The only way I could describe them was that they looked like a cross between a pony and a human. They looked quite attractive actually.
“Doesn’t your world have magic?” Twilight asks.
“Nope, humans don’t have magic.” He explained.
“So magic doesn’t exist in your world! Yet you still managed to achieve advanced technology, that’s incredible!” Twilight said with amazement in her voice. Tommy looked at her in confusion at how she would know that.
“I read a few books in your library. Which I must say is incredible.” She explained to which he nodded.
“Thank you.” He said with a smile.
“So you have no magic in your world at all?” Rarity asked.
“I’ve ran into a number of individuals who had the capability of magic but most of them were very evil and hurt many people, let's just say I've had some pretty bad experiences with magic.” He explained to which the answer surprised and shocked her.
The young man looked simply looked around the room for a moment before breaking the silence.
“You said I was seizing up when you brought me here? Why was I seizing up?” Tommy asked.
“From what the doctor said, you had no magic in your body whatsoever. The magic in the atmosphere must have affected you badly. But don’t worry the doctor says you’ll be fine now. They said it was from the initial shock was all.” Twilight explained to which Tommy nodded.
“That is one sweet dojo you have!” Dash said with a smirk.
“Thank you.” He replied with a smile.
“What martial arts do you study?” Dash asks.
“I study Karate, Muay Thai, Tae Kwan Do, Ninjutsu, MMA, Kendo, and a few other styles” Tommy explained to the mares.
“That is so awesome!” Dash said with a big smile.
“Sweet Celestia!” Twilight said as she wrote down everything in her notes.
“I’ve never even heard of some of those styles. I’m a black belt in Karate myself.” Dash said with a smirk.
“Are those human styles of fighting?” Twilight asked.
“Yes, there are actually many martial arts in my world. Countless different styles.” The man said.
“Are you a knight?” Twilight asked.
“A what?” The man said with a confused expression.
“A knight, they protect the innocent and fight against evil beings and monsters. They are very dashing and handsome.” Rarity said with dreamy eyes as she began to fantasize.
“I am no knight. I’ve never fought against monsters or anything like that.” Tommy lied as he remembered his days as a power ranger back in Angel Grove. The memories of all the monsters he had ever fought came rushing back to him. He shivered for a moment.
Tommy turned to see Applejack staring at him intently.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
“You’re lying.” Applejack said with an upset tone.
“What makes you say that?” He asked with a calm even expression.
“I’m one of the elements of harmony, the element of honesty, I can smell a lie from a mile away.” She said with a look of pride on her face.
“So you are a knight! My knight has finally come to sweep me off my hooves!” Rarity said dramatically with a starry look in her eyes.
“Are you a retired knight?” Twilight asked.
“What’s with everyone thinking that I’m a knight?” Tommy I asked with a look of annoyance.
“Will if you’re not a knight then what are you then?” Twilight asked the man with a suspicious look.
“I’m a high school teacher, I have a doctorate in paleontology.” Tommy said.
“You’re a teacher?” To which he nodded. She looked at Applejack to which she nodded at her, signaling that he was telling the truth.
“That doesn’t make sense! If you’re a teacher then why do you know so much about fighting?!” Twilight demands.
“Can’t a guy have a hobby?” He said to which Twilight just sat there with her jaw hitting the ground at the answer she was given.
“He is definitely a knight, if that journal is anything to go by!” Twilight thought.
“Well I think we should get going. I don’t want to take up a hospital room that could be given to someone else that needs it.” Tommy said as he walked out of the room with the girls following closely behind him.
After signing some paper work Tommy and the girls walked out of the hospital.
“I have more questions for you!” Twilight said as she caught up with the young man.
“Okay. Ask away.” The former power ranger said.
“How old are you?”
“28.” He said.
“Where are you from?”
“I lived in a big city called Angel Grove for a long time when I was younger, but now I live or in this case, used to live in Reef Side where I teach at the local high school.” He said as he continued walking in the general direction of his house.
“Why are you so bent on asking me questions about myself?” He asked good naturedly with a laugh.
“The princess has to know about you. She sent us to make sure that you’re not a threat. She wanted us to see if you were friendly as well.” Twilight explained.
“As you can see I am not a threat and I am very friendly.” Tommy answered back with a laugh as he walked off.
Twilight quickly ran after him. She ran in front of him.
“I still have more questions! The princess needs to know more about you!” Twilight says as the others are quickly running after him to catch up.
“I’m kind of still trying to get over the fact that I am stuck in another world with possibly no way back to my own world.” He said as he continued to walk.
Tommy saw his house off in the distance and continued into the direction of it.
“But you have so much technology and knowledge and books! BOOKS! FROM ANOTHER WORLD! A WHOLE ENTIRE LIBRARY OF THEM!” Twilight shouted.
Before Tommy could reply he heard a loud scream.
Tommy ran to the sounds of the screams. As he ran he saw a school house with three little fillies being pushed around by five stallions. One of the stallions smacked one of the fillies across the face. The filly who was smacked across the face began to cry, she had white fur and a two tone purple mane that had a few curls.
“Sweetie Belle!” Rarity cried as she saw her baby sister who was like a daughter to her get hurt and begin sobbing.
“Leave my students alone!” A wine colored mare shouted as she ran out of the school house and up to one of the stallion that struck Sweetie Belle and punched him in the face.
“Ah, you bitch!” The stallion said as he lunged at the teacher.
Everypony gasped in horror as he drew his fist back. Cheerilee’s eyes went wide in horror.
*CRACK!*
The stallion went flying backwards with a broken jaw.
“Why don’t you back the fuck up and leave these kids and their teacher alone.” Tommy said in an angry tone as he stood in front of the teacher and the three fillies.
The stallions gave death glares to the man, but they were shocked by what they saw. The man’s eyes looked as if they were filled with green lightning.
The stallion was out cold on the ground while his four buddies just stood there shocked. They snapped out of their shock and lunged at the man.
The first stallion lunged at the man and threw a punch at his head only for him to catch the punch and flip the stallion over his shoulder. The man slammed a kick to the side of the stallion’s head, knocking him out cold. The second and third stallion rushed the man as they tried to overpower the man only for him to slam two rapid kicks into each of them. They both hit the ground, out cold.
The last stallion pulled out a switch blade and lunged at the man. The girls gasped. Tommy sidestepped the strike as the stallion tried to stab him. Tommy grabbed the stallion’s wrist and twisted the knife out of his hand and slammed five rapid punches into his stomach followed by an uppercut to the stallion’s jaw. The stallion went limp as the only thing that was keeping him up was the man’s grip on his wrist.
Tommy let go of the unconscious stallion’s wrist causing him to fall to the ground with a dull thud.
Tommy turned to the three fillies and saw one of them crying. It was the one that was struck earlier. He got down on one knee in front of the little filly.
“Hey there little one, don’t worry, the bad guys are all gone.” He said with a smile to which the little filly began to cry more as she hugged the man.
“T-Thank you!” The young filly cried.
“You’ll welcome little one. We should get some ice on that.” He said to the filly whose face was beginning to bruise and swell slightly.
“I-I want Rarity!” The young filly sobbed as Rarity ran to her little sister and pulled her into a tight hug.
“Oh Sweetie Belle! What have they have those ruffian’s done to you!” Rarity cried as she embraced her sister.
“Thank you Tommy for saving my little sister. You truly are my knight in shining armor.” Rarity said as Rainbow Dash and Applejack both ran up to the two other fillies and began hugging them and checking them over for any injuries.
“You welcome Rarity, I just wish I could have stopped them sooner before they hurt her.” Tommy said.
“I don’t know who you are but I’m very grateful for you coming to our rescue. Thank you.” Cheerilee said to the man.
“You’re welcome, you alright?” The man said with concern.
“I’m okay, I have no idea why they attacked the girls. They were just coming in for some tutoring, I gave them a break and then those guys came around.” Cheerilee said with a frown.
“They said they wanted us to give them our money, we told them we didn’t have any. Then they got angry and h-hit me.” Sweetie Belle as she was crying.
“I don’t understand why anypony would hurt somepony. Especially a little filly!” Twilight said with a horrified look on her face.
“I’m happy there was a guard like you around.” Cheerilee said with a smile.
“Oh, I’m not a guard.” Tommy said.
“With how you took those thugs down I find that hard to believe. If you’re not a guard then what are you?” She asked with a perplexed look.
“I’m a high school teacher.” He said to which shocked her.
“Really? Where do you teach?” She asked.
“Reef Side High, California.” He answered.
“Never heard of the place, is that overseas?” She asked.
“No, it’s much, much farther than that.” He said with a slight chuckle which confused the mare. Pinkie Pie then ran up and laughed.
“He’s from another world!” Pinkie laughed and giggled.
“What?” Cheerilee was surprised but when the girls began to explain that Tommy was from another world her jaw dropped at that.
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to invade or anything like that.” He laughed. Miss Cheerilee shook herself out of her shock.
“I never thought that I would see the day that a being from another world would be standing right here in front of me.” She said.
“What are you exactly?” She asked.
“I’m a human. My names Tommy. Tommy Oliver.” He said as he held out his hand.
“I’m Cheerilee, nice to meet you.” She said with a smile as she reached out and shook his hand.
“Like wise.” He said with a smile of his own.
“I wish I could talk some more with you but I got to go get a guard here to arrest these criminals before they wake up.” She said motioning to the unconscious stallions.
“But if you’re ever looking for work, I could always use another teacher to help me out with the classes. Celestia knows these kids are a handful.” She said.
“I know that feeling. I’ll be sure to look you up if I’m looking for a job.” He said with a smile as they both said their goodbyes. Tommy, the girls, along with the cutie mark crusaders now, all began to make their way to the man’s home.
“I can’t thank you enough Tommy for what you did back there for my little Sweetie Belle.” Rarity said as she carried her baby sister in her arms as she tried to calm her down.
“Don’t mention it. You two seem pretty close.” He said with a smile.
“We are, my parents travel a lot on business so she lives with me. I’ve basically raised her. Don’t get me wrong, our parents love us it’s just they’re jobs are very demanding and they try to gives a better life than they had.” Rarity explained.
“I get what you’re saying, my parents were the same way. It’s rough but it’s like you said, they are just trying to give you both better lives and opportunities.” He said to which Rarity smiled.
“Ah, enough of the emotional stuff already! You just kicked major flank and you’re acting like it was nothing!” Rainbow Dash said with a groan of frustration.
“You were like pow! Hiya! Bam!” Pinkie said as she pretended be fighting off a group of bad guys.
Tommy couldn’t help but find the pink mares antics cute and funny.
“I just wished you would have done one thing during the fight though.” Pinkie said with a tilt of her head.
“What’s that?” Tommy asked.
“I wished you would have shouted ‘IT’S MORPHING TIME!’” Pinkie said with a giggle.
Tommy’s eyes went wide and his mouth kept opening and closing like a fish.
“That’s what the super heroes in my favorite comic always say when they transform!” She said with a giggle to which Tommy let out a sigh of relief.
“How long have you been studying martial arts?” Rarity asked.
“Since I was a child. My parents thought it would be a good idea for me to know how to defend myself.” Tommy said to which the mares were amazed.
“I have to ask, why did your princess send you and your friends to see if I was friendly? Seems like a job for the police or military.” Tommy asked.
“We’re the elements of harmony!” Pinkie giggled.
“The what?” The human said with a confused expression.
The six mares began explaining what the elements of harmony were. They explained how they were the bearers of the elements of harmony and that they were used by them to defend Equestria and protect it from evil.
“That’s pretty impressive.” Tommy said with a smile which caused the mares to smile.
“My friends and I used to be part of a group that was a lot like that.” The man said with laugh.
“WHAT!” The girls shouted as they closed the distance between them and the man in an instance.
“Tell me everything! What element did you wield? What evil villains did you stop? How many members were part of your group?” Twilight began to rant only to be cut off.
“Twilight, I admire your thirst for knowledge but I am very tired and I just want to-”
“Tell me!” Twilight said with her left eye twitching as her hair became slightly frazzled which was starting to creep the man out.
“Twilight dear, don’t you think Tommy is tired from his whole ordeal. He must be exhausted. Maybe you could hold off for a little bit on the questions?” Rarity said to Twilight causing her to turn her head towards the fashionista.
“But Rarity, he is literally the discovery of a lifetime! I need to know all about him! Did you hear what he said about being part of a group that’s similar to us, the Princess needs to know!” She said as she turned her head back to Tommy only to realize that he was now long gone.
“TOMMY OLIVER!!! GET YOUR FLANK BACK HERE THIS INSTNANT!!!” Twilight screamed.
Tommy slammed the door shut behind him and locked it tightly. Twilight was a friendly mare in his opinion but he was beginning to think that she wasn’t all there mentally when it came to obtaining knowledge. That’s why he decided to get the hell out of there and back to his home.
Tommy walked up the stairs and into his room and sat down on his bed. He could only sit there thinking about everything that had just happened that day as he felt the exhaustion of the day hit him. It was only then that the whole situation of him being stranded in another world began to sink in fully.
He calmly picked up the pillow next to him and pressed it to his face and let out a loud scream that was muffled by the pillow. When he took the pillow away from his face he saw his dog Saban looking up at him while tilting his head.
Tommy then slammed his face back into the pillow and screamed into it again as he fell back into the bed.
“It seems that the young lad is taking this rather well compared to how he could be.” Discord said as a white alicorn with a redish brown mane walked up beside him.
“He is our only hope Discord, we need an experienced warrior who is noble and selfless. I sense a great evil coming, I fear that this evil is stronger that is stronger than anything that Equestria has ever faced before.” The alicorn said as she looked into the magical window that showed the man in his home.
“Faust, what makes you think that he is capable of stopping this evil?” Discord said with an intrigued look as the magical window began to show the man’s past. The young man was much younger and dressed in green armor and was slashing apart monsters. Discord watched as the magical window as a smile came to his lips and he began to laugh.
“Oooh I love this show!” He said with a laugh as he made a giant bucket of popcorn appear.
“As you can see, his past shows that he has more than proven himself.” She said as the magical window disappeared.
“Let us just hope that he can come through for us.” The alicorn said with a worried look on her face.
Chapter 1 - Training and Getting Used to a New World
Chapter 1 – Training and Getting Used to a New World
It was late at night and Tommy had been training in his giant secret room for hours, the whole part of the house was sectioned off from the rest of the house in order to keep anyone or in this case anypony from stumbling across it. He decided to take a breather by practicing his katas. As he did his mind began to wander about his current predicament. He was in a new world with most likely no way to get back. The fact of not being able to go back to earth didn’t seem to terrify him as much as he thought it would. He didn’t have much back on earth. The students that he had grown to call his best friends had graduated and were off to college which he was proud of.
But back home he was alone. Most of his ranger friends were either dead or moved on with their lives. Some of them just straight out refused to talk about or even acknowledge that they were rangers. After seeing the things he had seen during his days as a ranger he couldn’t blame them.
His thoughts moved to Ponyville.
Quite frankly the past few days have been interesting. All of the ponies that he’s met so far have been extremely kind to him. He honestly felt more relaxed here then he did back home.
As he finished his kata he decided not to focus too much on the subject as he walked over to a table where a little crystal was floating.
This was one of his souvenirs from his days at the command center from Zordon himself.
“It’s been years since I last used this…” He said staring at it for a few minutes.
“Now the real training begins.”
“Begin training exercise 101.” Tommy ordered.
Tommy’s words activated the crystal causing it to glow brightly as he took a fighting stance. Beams of light came flying out of the crystal. Standing in front of him were three putty patrollers that all charged at the ex-power ranger.
Tommy gave a battle cry as he did a mid-air backwards spin kick to one of the patroller’s skulls, sending his opponent flying backwards into the wall.
Two of the patrollers managed to grab the man’s arms in an attempt to restrain him only for the both of them to get swift kicks to the stomach causing them to let go.
The same two charged again and unleashed a series of lightning fast strikes. Tommy was blocking the strikes as fast as he could but he couldn’t block all of them as they finally broke through his defenses and pummeled the man with a flurry of strikes that sent him tumbling back.
“Blublublublublu!” The putty patroller that was knocked into the wall leapt up and delivered a flying kick to the man’s face just as he was getting up.
“CHRIST!!!” Tommy shouted in pain as he was sent rolling.
“Can’t you guys learn how to freaking speak after all these years?!” He shouted in anger as he stood back up.
“I forgot how strong you guys were.” He thought as he waited for them to charge him again.
Tommy ducked under a punch and delivered an uppercut to the putty. As the putty stumbled back, he grabbed him and used him as a shield as the two other putties unleashed another flurry of lightning fast strikes. All of which struck their comrade.
The putty in Tommy’s grip dissipated into shadows and returned to the crystal.
The two continued their lightning fast barrage of strikes. Tommy blocked as best as he could until he found an opening. He delivered a backwards spin kick to one of the putties jaw which Tommy rode the momentum of the kick into a leg sweep, knocking the other one to the ground.
He then leapt through the air and landed on the downed enemy, crushing it beneath his feet, making it disperse into nothing.
With amazing speed the last putty patroller lunged at the ex-power ranger. But he managed to get the upper hand and dodge the attack and get behind his opponent.
In one swift motion he put one hand under the putty’s chin and another behind its head and twisted its neck. A loud crack echoed throughout the room as the putty fell to the ground and dispersed into shadowy mist.
Tommy was panting from the training.
“Damn. I forgot how tough those putties were.” The high school teacher grunted as he checked the bruise on his face.
In all his years as a power ranger, he had to admit that the putty patrol was the strongest when it came to small time minions that he’s ever fought. Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd were not like any of the other villains that he and his friends fought. Sure the others were deadly, tough, and ruthless. They had plenty of near death experiences. Unfortunately the other villains had killed many innocent people as well. But Rita and Zedd were the deadliest because they were the most efficient. They made sure all of their minions were strong. Even their foot soldiers the putties were made strong.
Except for that time Zedd thought it was a good idea to put a giant Z on their chests that made them explode into pieces when you hit it. That was a dumb move. Yeah it made them stronger, but at the cost of putting a one hit kill target on them.
Tommy turned heard a strange sound coming from the crystal as it started to glow brighter.
“Power down.” Tommy ordered but the crystal kept glowing brighter and brighter.
“Power down!” Tommy demanded only for five different colored lights to shoot out of the crystal in a bright flash.
As the flash cleared, five very familiar beings stood in front of Tommy. He knew they weren’t real. They were just training programs that the crystal created. But that didn’t help ease Tommy’s anxiety.
“It’s the Green Ranger! Get him!” The red ranger shouted as he charged me with his power sword.
He slashed at me but I managed to duck and dodge the strikes. It took everything I had to avoid the strikes.
“It’s going to take a lot more than that-”
He cut me off when he slammed his knee into my stomach.
“Good effort.” I gasped before he kicked me into a wall.
I managed to roll out of the way just in time as he stabbed his sword at me. It embedded itself into the wall.
He tried to dislodge his sword from the wall as I tried to leg sweep him only for him to jump over the attack and slam another kick into my chest.
I hate to admit it, but for a training program he was definitely an expert at copying Jason’s style of combat.
I stumbled backwards only to feel something bite into my flesh with a sharp pain.
I turned around to see the blue ranger with a double bladed lance. On both ends of the lance were large three pronged razor sharp spear tips. One of the spear tips was dripping with my blood.
He spun the lance with an expert finesse as it made a whirling sound before he charged me.
I managed to dodge the stabs and slices of the lance. I ducked under a stab and slammed a kick into his head that sent him stumbling backwards.
I saw my chance and grabbed his wrist and flipped him over my shoulder and slammed him into the ground. Causing the lance to clatter to the ground.
I dove for the lance and rolled just in time to dodge a giant power axe. I brought the lance up just in time to block five swift strikes from the wannabe Zack’s axe.
He switched his grip on the power axe and held it like a gun.
“Ah shit.” Was all I could when I realized what he was going to do.
He fired a shot at me just as I rolled out of the way of the blast and charged him and delivered a flurry of strikes with the lance. Halfway through the barrage I split the lance in half and began attacking at blinding speeds. He was not able to block the whole barrage, his defense eventually broke and I struck him full force by the attack sending the fake ranger flying backwards and into the wall.
I leapt at him just as he reached for his axe. Thinking fast I threw one of the halves of the lance, pinning the power axe to the ground. Seeing that he couldn’t get his weapon free he leapt up and charged me.
As he lunged at me I expected him to try and tackle me but he flipped over me and kicked the other halve of the lance out of my hand. We engaged each other in hand to hand combat.
Thankfully these guys weren’t as strong as my real friends were. If these were the real Power Rangers I’d be dead without my powers. Back when I was under Rita’s spell I managed to beat them but that was when I still had my powers.
These guys’ powers were only a fraction of the real thing but they were still deadly.
Unfortunately for me like the others, he was fighting like the ranger he looked like. Zack’s Hip-Hop-Kido was a very unpredictable style which mixed fast strikes, martial arts, and breakdance moves.
He threw a few quick punches that missed but followed it up with a butterfly kick to which I stepped back from just in time. But as he landed he slammed bother hands on the ground and held himself up as he swung his legs around himself that manage to catch my legs and sweep them out from under me and sent me flat on my back.
As he pounced on me, I slammed my foot into his face that sent him flipping backwards only for him land on his hands and spin on them as his legs did a split. His booted foot caught my cheek just as I was getting up. Luckily it was just a glancing blow.
As he leapt at me I dropped kicked him in the face and sent him flying backwards and into the red ranger copy that was running at us with his sword now free. The two tumbled over each other just as the blue ranger came running at me.
He threw a round house kick at me but I caught the kick and threw a kick of my own to his groin that sent him to his knee to which I threw a follow up kick to his helmeted face that sent him to the ground. I was still holding onto his leg to prevent him from getting up and a slammed three rapid kicks to his head followed by a hard stomp. The faker turned to shadows and disappeared.
My victory was short lived as I felt two daggers slash my back. I screamed in pain. When I turned around I saw the yellow ranger holding her power daggers. Her helmet bore resemblance to that of a saber tooth tiger.
“Those cuts were kind of light. The real Trini would have at least sent me to the ground.” I mocked. But to be honest I was just saying it to remind myself that these were not my real friends. Just some lookalikes that the training crystal created when it malfunctioned.
Luckily the cuts weren’t too deep to the point where they would need stitches. She closed the distance between us quickly and slashed at me. I ducked and dodged the strikes and threw five rapid punches to her sternum that seemed to wind her. But she worked through it and slammed a spinning kick to my side where I was slashed by Billy’s lance.
I grunted in pain just as she delivered an uppercut. The yellow ranger quickly leapt away from me. At first I didn’t know why until I heard familiar sound.
*THWACK!*
The sound of an arrow being fired.
I leapt out of the way just in time as I turned to see a copy of the pink ranger.
“Your aims off!” I called out.
That must have made her angry because I could have sworn that I heard her growl as she fired a flurry of arrows at me.
“The real Kimberly was an expert archer that could keep her calm!” I shouted trying to rile her up.
It must have worked because she started to fire faster just as I ran past the red ranger. Unfortunately the pink ranger copycat wasn't watching to see where she was shooting.
The red ranger got hit by a flurry of arrows before he could strike at me with his sword. He turned to shadows and disappeared before he could even hit the ground. I grabbed his power sword from the ground and readied myself. At least she wasn't using her explosive arrows.
I grabbed the metal table that was nearby and flipped it over. The arrows still went through the table.
Right, super powered weapons. I totally forgot about that like a jackass.
I kicked the table at her and it slammed into her smacking her to the wall for a split second. She knocked it away in anger but before she could even fire another arrow I ran and did a flying kick to her head and followed it with a series of rapid strikes. I spin on my heel and gave one final backwards spin kick to her head. She turned became a black shadowy mist and disappeared.
My heart ached at having to do this. I know they weren’t really who they pretended to be. Despite that I really felt like I was hurting my friends. But I had to stay strong.
I turned around just in time to block both the black ranger and yellow ranger’s attacks. The black ranger managed to get his axe back. Their blades clashed against my sword as I dodged, parried, and blocked.
The black ranger came at me again but this time I was ready. Fortunately the real Zack taught me his fighting style of Hip-Hop-Kido. I flipped backwards and slammed a kick into his skull. I then spun stood on my hands and spun around like he did earlier which made me do a spinning split kick. As he was disoriented I lunged forward and slashed him across the stomach. He disappeared like the others.
Now it was just me and the fake Trini.
We circled each other for a few seconds before we charged each other. Our strikes were nothing but blurs. I managed to smack one of her daggers out of her hands but she began to slash even faster. I leapt back and kicked the power axe into the air and grabbed it. I threw it at my opponent. She front flipped through the air over the attack and directly above my head effortlessly. But that was what I was counting on.
I stabbed the sword up into the air above me and in a puff of black shadows the last of my opponents disappeared along with all of their weapons. Thankfully the crystal finally shut off.
(Stop Song)
I stood there. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. I walked out of the room. Why did the crystal malfunction?
I couldn’t help but feel horrible about what happened. It really felt like I was fighting my friends.
“Those weren’t really my friends. My friends were much stronger than that.” I said as I walked out of the room.
It was true. My friends were much stronger than that. If I was really fighting them while they were in ranger form, I would have lost without my powers. I mean our ranger form gives us heightened reflexes along with super strength, speed, and stamina. Then there’s the fact that being the first power rangers we were given the most of Zordon’s power, therefore making us the strongest generation of rangers.
Then there’s the fact that our suits could even protect us from gun fire. Hey, when you’re fighting putty patrollers and super powered monsters, you’re going to need that extra protection. Even then our outfits couldn’t completely protect us from most of their attacks.
I have the scars to prove it.
I closed the door to my secret room and locked it. The door itself was made to look like it was part of the wall but it had the crest of the Dragonzord on it. I walked down the hallway with my footsteps echoing. I came to another door that lead into a storage room that was filled with my supplies. It was filled to the brim with emergency supplies and dooms day supplies. This door was also disguised to look like it was just a piece of the wall. I went through one more door and up a set of stairs and found myself in my personal laboratory. I had fossils laying everywhere in special containers and stuff like that along with tons of the most advanced lab equipment available.
To be honest my secret room was also part of a whole entire secret floor of the house that was below my house and the basement.
I made my way up to the shower, cleaned up and bandaged my wounds which despite being a little deep were not serious and did not need stiches, then I went to bed.
But as I lay in bed I couldn’t help but think back to the fight I had earlier.
“No matter what I do, the past always comes back to haunt me.” I said as I turned over in bed to see a picture of me and my friends all smiling and having a good time together at our favorite hangout during our days in high school, “The Juice Bar”. My memories flowed back to the “good old days” when me and my friends were fighting horrific battles against Rita and Zedd’s monsters. Needless to say, sleep didn’t come easy that night.
“I’m sorry I walked in on you, but you can’t just let me catch a little glimpse of it then not show me the whole thing! That thing is huge!” Twilight pleaded.
“No!” Tommy said in annoyance.
“You don’t understand, I have seen one that big before! I need this! I need this satisfaction!” She pleaded as she gave him big puppy dog eyes, her eyes brimming with tears.
“…Fine.” He said as he finally opened the door to his secret laboratory.
“There.” He said with a sigh.
“Oh sweet Celestia! This is everything a girl could ask for and more!” Twilight moaned in a way that sounded very sexual as she ran her hands over the lab equipment. Twilight spent half an hour looking at everything in the lab with awe and astonishment.
“This equipment is far beyond Equestria’s technology. Why do you have this high-tec lab equipment?” She said as she looked at the Dinosaur bones that were everywhere.
“I’m not just a teacher, I’m also a scientist.” He answered to which Twilight immediately turned towards him.
“Really?” She said with genuine excitement.
“Yep. I’ve study many fields of science.” He said with a smile.
“Wow, I hope you don’t mind me asking you more questions.” She said with a smile.
“Not at all. But some other time okay.” He said with a smile.
“Okay.” Twilight smiled.
As they walked back to the living room after locking up the lab room they heard some giggling. They walked into the room where they saw an adorable sight of Tommy’s dog Saban licking Fluttershy’s face as she giggled and pet the German Shepard.
Meanwhile Pinkie Pie was also giggling as she watched DVD on Tommy’s TV as she lay on her stomach as she rested her head on her hands just like a child would do when watching TV. Tommy had no problem with the girls coming over. In fact he was happy to have some company. He told them to make themselves at home. He had no problem with them using his stuff.
He was embarrassed however by what Pinkie Pie was watching on the TV. He remembered his best friend Zack bought it for him and sent it to him in the mail as a present some years back.
There was a letter that came with the DVD’s that was still inside of the DVD case to this day. Twilight just so happened to see the letter in the case and decided to read it.
Hey Tommy,
How’s it going? It’s been a while since we’ve last seen each other. I hope you’re doing alright man. I’m doing alright. Just got a promotion, so things are looking good. You should come by and visit some time. We could go and get some beers together. I know a local bar in town, lots of nice girls there too. Maybe you can finally get a girlfriend.
I heard you’re a teacher now, not bad. Never took you for the teacher type. But hey, that’s cool. I think that’s great that you’re helping the kids. I also heard you were a scientist with as well. Good job man. I’m happy for you.
You’re probably wondering what’s in the package. Well you’re not going to believe it but you’re going to have to take a look at it and see for yourself. They actually made a TV show of it. It’s a kid show I know but I have to admit. It is cool. Sure does bring memories. Both good and bad memories. I hope you enjoy the gift. Merry Christmas.
Your old friend,
- Zack
Twilight was looked at the letter for a moment. When she saw Tommy looking at her she gained a sheepish smile.
“Don’t worry about it.” Tommy said as she handed him the letter which he put away the letter in a safe place.
Tommy turned to the TV and saw what Pinkie Pie was watching just as the next episode began and the theme song of the show began to play.
“Go go power rangers!” Pinkie sang along cutely as the others sat around watching the show out of curiosity.
As the episode ended the girls were smiling.
“That was awesome!” Pinkie and Rainbow Dash shouted.
“That was indeed impressive.” Rarity said with a smile.
“I liked it. It was flashy but fun to watch.” Applejack complimented.
“I like how they helped others.” Fluttershy whispered.
“That was amazing! What is this showed called?” Twilight asked.
“It’s called The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.” Tommy answered with a sigh.
“You’re world has some great works of fiction.” Twilight said.
“I agree. I wish such heroes were real.” Rarity said.
“I like the green ranger! He’s my favorite!” Pinkie said with a big smile to which the girls nodded in agreement as well.
“I want to be there friends! I could so make an awesome pink ranger! I’m naturally pink!” Pinkie smiled.
“I’m sure you could pinkie.” Tommy said with a sincere smile that made pinkie blush.
“Believe it or not, the power rangers were real. That group anyway.” He said.
“What? Really?” Twilight’s attention was instantly on Tommy now.
“Yeah, but what you saw on TV just now was a kids show with actors playing the roles.” He explained.
“What do you mean? And what do you mean by ‘that group’?” She asked.
“Things were much darker in real life. A lot of people died because of the monsters. The rangers did what they could but they couldn’t always save everyone. A lot of innocent civilians died. Men, woman, and children. As time went on there were other ranger groups but the ones you saw on the TV were the most famous ones because they were the original power rangers. The first ones to appear. The other rangers tried to save everyone they could. But unfortunately the rangers wouldn’t always survive.” He said which all of the girls gasped.
“How do you know all of this?” Twilight asked.
“I grew up in Angel Grove. That’s where the first power rangers were at along with the first monster attacks.” He said.
“Does anypony know who the real power rangers were?” Rarity asked.
“Nope. They kept their identities secret. The people you saw on the show were just actors playing them. To this day nobody knows who the power rangers really were. In that group at least. The government kept searching for them for the longest time, trying to find out who they were but the power rangers kept their identities from them no matter how hard they tried.” He said.
“Why didn’t they work with the government? If I were in their place I would have told Princess Celestia and Princess Luna I was a super hero.” Twilight said with a smile.
“Not me.” He said which caught the lavender unicorn off guard.
“Why not? Wouldn’t you want to work with the government?” She asked.
“Nope.” He said with a deadpan expression.
“But why?” Twilight was shocked by his distrust of the government.
“I don’t know how things work here Twilight but in my world the government is corrupted to some degree in each country. Some way more than others. If a teenager or anyone for that matter were to have some type of super human ability like that, they would most likely be hunted down and be weaponized and forced to fight as nothing more than a mere weapon.” Tommy spoke from personal experience. The girls gasped as his explanation.
“Or worse, they would be experimented on.” He added to which all the girls gulped in horror.
“I-I see. W-Were the power rangers ever captured by the government?” Twilight asked shakily.
“Nope. They had quite a few close calls but they were never caught nor were their secret identities found out.” He said with a triumphant smile spreading a across his face.
The girls sighed in relief at hearing this.
“Well I got to go.” Tommy said as he walked over to grab a few documents and put them inside of a folder.
“Where are you going?” Rarity asked.
“To the school house. Miss Cheerilee offered me a job as a teacher and from the looks of it I’m going to be here for a while.” He answered.
“Really? That’s great!” Twilight said with a smile.
“Thanks, well I got to go. Feel free to make yourselves at home while I’m gone.” He said as he opened the door.
“Tommy?” Twilight called.
“Yeah?”
“We’ve been meaning to ask. How did you get those bruises on your face?” She asked with concern.
“Training accident.” Tommy said only for Applejack to narrow her eyes at him. But before she could say anything he walked to the door with the folder in his hand when all of a sudden a knock came at the door.
Tommy opened the door to find a purple reptilian girl with green spines on her head running down her slender back and down her slender tail. The spines on the top of her head were different, they were long and covered her head like long hair, some of it even hung down in her face like normal hair. She wore a black long sleeved shirt that exposed her shoulders and hugged her huge breasts but stopped just above her belly button, exposing her skinny stomach.
Her skinny tummy was a very pale tan with green tint that ran all the way up to her bottom lip. She wore a pair of black jeans that hugged her skinny waist and her wide hips. Her face was buried in a letter that she was reading. He could instantly tell that she was a dragon due to his years of studying the subject. A very beautiful one at that.
“Twilight, a letter from Princess Celestia came.” She said without looking up.
“Thanks Barbara.” Twilight said with a smile as she took the letter.
I found myself staring at a strange creature right in front of me. But I have to admit, he does look good.
This must be the human Twilight was talking about. But before I could say anything, I heard the voice of an angel.
“Barbara darling it’s so good to see you. How is my Barby-warby?” Rarity said with one of her amazing smiles that could always brighten up any day.
“G-Great, Rarity!” I stammered
I mean look at her, big breasts, perfect butt, tiny waist, and baby making hips. But what I love most of all about her is her amazing personality. Sure she can be a drama queen, but hey! Barbara likes hot drama queens!
Twilight took the letter from me and thanked me.
“Hey Barb, would you mind taking Tommy to the school so he can talk to Cheerilee about getting a job at the school?” Twilight asked.
“It’s alright. I know where the school is. I can take care of myself.” I heard a voice say as I turned and saw what I could only guess was the human Twilight was talking about.
But the second I saw him, I couldn’t help but stare at him. He was giving off a strange aura. It feels like I’m standing next to another dragon. A male dragon.
To be fair the only time I’ve ever seen male dragons was when I went to the great dragon migration. They were dicks! Making fun of me because I lived with ponies, one of them even told me I wasn’t a real dragon. But that was just a few of them. I hear most drakes are good and nice, but that time at the dragon migration was a very bad experience for me.
But I couldn’t take my eyes off this guy. It was like he was radiating power…and for some reason… I just couldn’t take my eyes off of him.
“Pleasure to meet you miss…” He said snapping me out of my thoughts.
“Oh…Barbara. It’s nice to meet you.” I answered.
“Pleasure to meet you Barbara. Names Tommy. I’m guessing you’re a dragon. A dragoness to be exact right?” He asked with a smile.
“Yeah, you act like you’ve never seen a dragon before.” I said with confusion.
“Dragons don’t exist in my world… Technically.” He said but I had the feeling that he was hiding something. I was surprised that they don’t have dragons where he’s from.
“Then how did you know that I’m a dragoness?” I asked raising my eyebrow.
“My mom used to read lot of fairy tales about dragons to me when I was a little boy.” He said with a smile.
“Really, what did they say?” I asked with curiosity.
“The ones my mom read to me always portrayed dragons as kind, courageous heroes, strong, and deadly but good hearted.” He said which made me puff out my chest in pride.
“The stories also said female dragons were known for being very beautiful and elegant creatures. I didn’t know they meant to this extent.” He said making my face heat up. I could barely form words. I don’t know who this guy is but I like him.
Not many ponies tell me I’m beautiful. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I like to think I’m quite the looker. Big tits, tiny waist, baby making hips, and a nice bubble butt that can make anypony drool and cream their shorts. But like I said, I don’t like to brag.
“Thanks.” I said with a blush. Surprisingly enough he didn’t seem like he was hitting on me. It seemed like he was being genuinely nice and honest.
But it still made me feel good to know that there are good stallions. It’s too bad for him I’m only into mares. I mean it’s not like I find him attractive or anything. It’s not like I feel a strange energy coming from him that’s making me be attracted to him. B-But that’s crazy! My heart belongs to Rarity and Rarity alone… But if I were in a herd with both of them then I would be in heaven.
Don’t pay attention to that! I was just having random thoughts! Yeah just random thoughts! Twilight and the princess said that he was a powerful being, he must have some crazy unknown power that’s affecting me or something, yeah that’s it!
“It’s a long story. Don’t worry about it.” He said to which she just shrugged.
“Anyway, I can take you to the school.” Barbara said with a smile.
“Oh that’s okay, I know where it’s at.” Tommy replied said politely.
“But darling, it simply would not do to let a stallion go un-escorted. Especially one who is new to the town.” Rarity said shocked.
This confused Tommy.
“Besides, it would go against my dragoness code of honor. As a dragon I can’t let that happened.” Barbara said with a proud look as she puffed out her chest.
“Alright, couldn’t hurt. Thanks.” Tommy shrugged.
“Good. Follow me.” Barbara said as they both walked out the door and left for the school.
“I must say for a stallion he is very brave and bold.” Rarity commented.
“Yeah, he doesn’t act like most stallions I’ve ever seen.” Rainbow says.
“Well darling he lives alone without a herd of his own. Without a mare to take care of the poor dear, naturally he has to be independent. I’m still surprised with how much martial arts he knows.” Rarity added.
“I think you’re right on him being some kind of knight, but what gets me is why they would have him doing such a dangerous job if he’s stallion. I mean considering how few stallions there are in the population it’s crazy to risk their lives like that.” Rainbow Dash said to her fashionista friend.
“I agree darling. The gender ratio is bad enough as it is, it’s currently 1 stallion for every 10 mares. Some areas have it so bad that it’s 1 to 20.” Rarity stated with concern.
“He must be suffering from seeing such s-scary things.” Fluttershy added nervously.
“I agree, he must be suffering from some form of mental trauma considering he grew up in a city that was constantly attacked by monsters.” Rarity added as she gently stroked Fluttershy’s mane, calming her down.
“He seems so sad being here all alone by himself.” Pinkie Pie said with a sad look.
“Girls, I got some bad news.” Twilight said with a solemn look.
“What is it sugar cube?” Applejack asked.
“Princess Celestia has been looking into how Tommy got here. From what she said there is no way for him to go back to his world, it’s impossible. The chances of pinpointing his exact world are 1 in infinity. He would most likely be sent to some other world, that’s if he even survived. The fact that he made it here in one piece is beyond me.” She said sadly causing all the girls ears to splay back in sadness.
“The poor dear has been through enough already, he’ll be devastated.” Rarity said.
“Well, we just got to make sure to be there for him and make sure he’s happy.” Pinkie Pie said with a sad yet determined look on her face to which all of the girls nodded in agreement.
“But there’s something I don’t get.” Pinkie said.
“What’s that?” Twilight asked.
“What were the real power rangers like?” The party planner asked.
“That’s a good question. Maybe he has something about it in his library.” Twilight said as she wondered about that herself and made her way up to Tommy’s library.
The night sky was a bright orange as the flames of war illuminated the night sky. A squad of Army National Guard soldiers were laying down heavy fire on a group of monsters that were attacking the city.
“Sir, we’re being overrun!” One of the soldiers shouted to the captain.
“Any signs of reinforcements!” The captain shouted over the sounds of gunfire.
“No sir! They’ve been ambushed on 32nd Street!”
“Dammit. This isn’t good. We’re running low on ammo as it is.” The captain growled under his breathe.
The soldiers gunned down the putty patrollers as best as they could. Unfortunately a group of assassin putties came out of nowhere and began cutting down the soldiers that were in their way.
One of the assassin putties leapt through the air at the captain with a sword in his hands ready to cut the man in two.
The army captain pulled out a desert eagle and shot the assassin putty in the skull, splattering its brains all over the place as two others lunged at him only to meet the same fate.
The captain and the other soldiers were all fighting off the putties as best as they could. But the monsters kept coming.
“Sir, we can’t hold out anymore! They’re overwhelming us with their sheer numbers!” The soldier shouted.
Then out of nowhere a six bolts of lightning came crashing down from the sky. Each one a different color that ranged from red, black, blue, yellow, pink, and green.
The multicolored bolts of lightning wiped out a junk of the monsters that were attacking.
Where the bolts of lightning struck, there stood six figures dressed in a strange colorful armor.
The instantly jumped into battle and started killing the monsters that stood in their way.
They were nothing but blurs as they slashed apart their enemies into nothing.
The soldiers couldn’t believe what they were seeing. They had heard about the power rangers but they never imagined that they were like this.
They took down these monsters effortlessly as they slaughtered them like they were nothing. As the last of the monsters fell to the ground dead, the soldiers all looked at the rangers in front of them.
The captain walked up to them cautiously.
“Thanks for the help Power Rangers.” He said to them.
“No problem. We helped out your guys on 32nd street. They should be here any minute with supplies and reinforcements.” The green ranger said.
“Thanks, we really appreciate the help.” The captain said with smile, but that smile quickly fell.
“Unfortunately, the government want us to bring you in for some questioning.” He said with regret. This caused the other rangers to tense up.
“Bullshit. They want our powers.” The green ranger said.
“I don’t doubt it. But I’m not going to bring you guys in. You saved our asses, as far as I’m concerned you guys are heroes in my opinion. Besides, I don’t think we have a chance against you guys.” The captain said.
“Thanks, we really appreciate it and don’t worry, we took care of the rest of the monsters.” The red ranger said.
“Yeah, we saw your giant robot taking down that over grown bastard. Thanks!”
As they became bolts of lightning and teleported away they flew through the sky and ended up at the command center.
As the rangers collapsed into their chairs they heard a voice echo through the command center.
“Excellent work rangers. You have destroyed Rita’s monsters yet again… Unfortunately there were casualties.” The disembodied head known as Zordon said sadly as he looked around the room to see the tired young teenagers exhausted as they pulled off their helmets.
“There’s always people dying… Good people that have never done anything to deserve this.” Zack said solemnly.
“At least we were able to save a lot of people.” Kimberly said though by the look on her face it was obvious that it did not make her or the others feel any better.
Billy was typing away on the command centers super computer that brought up a giant map of the entire city of Angel Grove, California.
“There are no other monsters attacking.” He said with a sigh.
“Thank God.” Trini sighed as she almost passed out from the sheer exhaustion.
“You okay Trini?” Jason asked with concern.
“Yeah, I’m just tired. We’ve been fighting for the past week straight… What are we going to tell our parents? We’ve been missing for seven days according to them.” Trini said as she fought to stay awake.
“Not to mention we’re all banged up pretty badly. They’ll being wanting an answer on that.” Jason said with a sigh as Alpha 5 walked into the room.
“Don’t worry rangers, I’m here to patch you up.” The little android said cheerfully.
“Thanks Alpha.” The rangers said with smiles as the little robot went to work.
“Trini makes a point, we’ve been gone for a while. Everyone is going to wonder where we were.” Tommy said as he ran his fingers through his long hair.
“What do you suggest?” Billy asked as Alpha finished bandaging him up as she went to work on the others.
“We tell them we got caught up in the monster attacks and that we got hurt because of it. We go back home at separate times. If we all go back on the same day everyone will get suspicious.” Tommy added.
“The attack was huge this time, statistically speaking. There are a lot of people who are out there and are still missing. I don’t think anyone will suspect anything if we all go back at the same time.” Billy said.
“I agree but it never hurts to be safe. Besides I don’t think Trini will be able to stay awake much longer, she would have the chance to rest here. It be a good idea if Zack stayed the night too. He’s doesn’t look like he’s doing to good himself either.” Tommy said as he looked to his friends.
“Yeah, sounds like a good idea. You don’t mind us going do you Tommy?” Kimberly asked with concern for her friend.
“Nah, I’m good. I can hold down the fort here. You guys go on ahead.” He said with a tired smile.
“Well… Okay… If you’re really sure.” She said. She looked like she wanted to say something but decided against it.
“Thanks Tommy.” Jason and Billy said.
“Power down.” Jason, Billy, and Kimberly commanded as their power ranger outfits disappeared and they were in their street cloths once more.
“Safe travels rangers.” Zordon said with a smile.
“See you guys at the juice bar.” Jason said before him, Billy, and Kimberly all teleported out of the command center. Tommy just stared blankly off into space.
“You okay?” Zack asked.
“Huh…Oh! Yeah! I’m just tired is all.”
“Soooo… You and Kimberly… What’s going on with that?” Zack asked.
“It’s complicated.” The green ranger answered with a sigh.
“I can tell... You should get some sleep. Trini’s got the right idea.” He said motioning towards the girl in question who was fast asleep as she leaned her chin against her arm only for it to slip and cause her to jump up awake.
“I’m awake!” She shouted.
“Trini, go to bed. You have all been pushing yourselves way past you’re limits. You all need to rest.” Zordon said as Alpha 5 lead the young woman to her room.
Thankfully the command center had personal rooms for everyone. The rooms were quite nice and spacious, Zordon had told them that the rooms were theirs to use as they see fit and that they were more than welcome to use them and the command center at any time. Whether it be for resting, hiding, a personal vacation from their personal lives, or if they ever had an emergency at home that they would need to have a place to stay. The place even had a lounge and a rec room along with a fully stocked kitchen.
With their injuries now fully treated, they all powered down out of their ranger forms and into their street cloths as they went to bed. It helped that Alpha had medical programs on every subject of human medical care downloaded into her thanks to Billy. She was basically multiple doctors and surgeons rolled up into one. But she still recommended that they go to the hospital anyway which made them groan.
As Tommy lay in bed about to drift off to sleep, he heard the intercom to his room turn on. The intercoms linked to all of the rooms so they could talk to one another or even all of the rangers at once.
“Hey Zordon?” A very tired Trini asked over the intercom.
“Yes Trini?” Zordon asked.
“This might be the sleep deprivation talking, but are you a racist?” Trini asked as she lay in her bed.
“What! I most certainly am NOT a racist! What would make you think such a thing?” Zordon said with both shock and concern in his voice.
“I’m Asian and you made me the yellow ranger.” She said with a smirk.
“She’s right. I’m a brother and you made me the black ranger? Is there something you’re not telling me here Zordon?” Zack asked with mock seriousness as they gave Zordon a hard time.
“They make valid points Zordon.” Tommy said as he tried to keep himself from bursting into laughter.
“I am not a racist! Your powers chose you!” Zordon said in panic.
“What’s the next? Tommy becomes the white ranger?” Trini giggled. That was the last straw, the three rangers broke out into uncontrollable laughter.
“I AM NOT A RACIST!!!” Zordon pleaded.
“We know you’re not. We’re just giving you a hard time is all.” Zack said as the laughter died down.
“Goodnight rangers, sleep tight.” Zordon said with a chuckle.
“Goodnight Zordon.” The rangers said before letting sleep take them.
The next day Tommy, Zack, and Trini all went back to their families. The swung by Trini’s first and dropped her off to her family. They were worried sick. They demanded to know why she was missing for so long. Zack and Tommy explained how they were caught up in the most recent monster attack. Seeing her injuries they saw that they were telling the truth. Which lead to their current situation.
“Trini you need to go to the hospital now!” Mrs. Kwan shouted in horror at the sight of her daughter being covered in some very severe injuries. Trini had suffered the worst of the injuries. Goldar managed to get a good hit in on her with his sword, slashing her back lightly. Not deep enough to be life threatening thanks to her armor and powers taking most of the damage but deep enough that it would likely leave a scar.
Alpha’s treatment patched her up but Alpha recommended for her to go to a doctor. It also helped that all of the beds in the command center had special built in healing systems that came from Zordon’s world. They healed you as you lay in them and as you slept. Alien technology, go figure Tommy thought.
“I’m fine momma, I just need to get some sleep.” Trini said tiredly.
“No you are going to the hospital right now young lady! Honey, call an ambulance!” Mr. Kwan said as Mrs. Kwan helped their daughter into the house.
“Thank you boys for helping Trini get home and thank you for saving her from the monsters.” He said to the two teenagers.
“It’s no problem, she saved us as well a few times.” Tommy said.
“She’s our best friend, we wouldn’t let anything happen to her.” Zack added.
“Thanks again for helping her. The whole entire state has been put in a state of emergency. Hundreds of people died, the military was called in. What happened out there?” Mr. Kwan asked with worry.
The two teenagers’ faces instantly turned to ones of sorrow and slight fear.
“W-We saw horrible things out their Mr. Kwan… Horrible things that will haunt us till the day that we die and beyond.” Tommy answered.
“We got lucky, when Trini got hurt we managed to run into a doctor who was running from one of the areas that were being attacked. When we found a place to hide she treated Trini.” Zack lied.
“I’m sorry that this happened to you all. Thankfully the power rangers managed to stop the monster.” Mr. Kwan said.
“Yeah, they managed to save us.” Zack added.
“You boys should go to the hospital as well. Why don’t you let the ambulance take you both to the hospital?” Mr. Kwan asked with concern.
“Nah, it’s okay. We’re fine.” Tommy said.
“Well… If you’re sure.” The parent said unsure.
The two teenagers said their goodbyes as they left and walked for a couple of blocks talking with each other before going their separate ways to their own homes.
Tommy had a few miles before he would reach his house. He liked walking, it gave him time to clear his head.
After an hour of walking alone, the sixteen year old came across two very familiar faces. A very overweight student and a very skinny student from his high school. The two were known as wanna-be bullies that failed at all attempts to be mean. They were actually nice guys once you got to know them. Annoying, but nice.
Their names were Farkas Bulkmeier and Eugene Skullovitch. But everyone knew them by different names.
Bulk and Skull.
They both saw the teenage boy walking by himself looking down. Despite their attempts at being bullies which failed hilariously, they would never kick someone when they were down.
“Hey Tommy!” Bulk said as he walked over to the boy in question followed by his friend Skull.
“Hey there guys. How’s it going?” Tommy said trying to be friendly.
“Everyone’s been looking for you and you’re friends. They said you guys were caught up in the monster attack. The police have been looking for you guys. Jason, Kimberly, and Billy showed up yesterday. You’re parents filed a missing person’s report.” Bulk said with a hint of concern in his voice as he saw blood on Tommy’s signature green sleeveless shirt.
“You okay? You look like you got run over by a train.” Skull said.
“Yeah, it’s true, we were attacked by monsters… I rather not talk about it guys.” He said with a sigh.
“O-Oh okay...” Bulk and Skull said. Normally they would have a witty comeback or something like that but they didn’t. They could tell that Tommy had been put through the ringer.
“How are you guys doing on your investigation on finding out the power rangers identities?” The green ranger asked.
“We’re close! I can feel it!” Bulk said.
“Yeah, nothing gets by us!” Skull added.
“Well, I’m sure you guys will find out who they are eventually.” Tommy lied with a smile as he patted Bulk and Skull on the back before walking off down the street.
“Dammit, the cops are looking for us.” The ranger said as he began to think about everything that happened. After a few hours he finally came up on his house.
When he entered his home he saw his mother sitting on the couch with her face in her hands, sobbing heavily. His dad was hugging and comforting her as best as he could.
His parents heard the sound of the door closing and quickly turned to see their son standing there covered in bruises, blood on his shirt, and even a black eye.
They ran to him and hugged him tightly.
They both sobbed uncontrollably as they hugged their son tightly.
“Where were you?! You’re friends said that you all got caught up in the monster attack?!” His mom sobbed.
“We’ve been looking everywhere for you! I’ve had everyone at the precinct looking for you!” His father said with a hint of anger but with his voice was filled with worry.
“I’ve been ducking and dodging monsters with the others… Trini got hurt really badly, but we got lucky and ran into a doctor along the way. We got separated along the way as we made our way back.” He said tiredly.
“Your friends made it back but we need to get you to the hospital.” His mother panicked.
Tommy protested but it did nothing. He was taken to the hospital and stayed an entire week in the hospital due to his injuries. Ironically he was put in the same room as Trini. At least he had a good friend to talk to.
“I must say this is very impressive Mr. Oliver.” Ms. Cheerilee said as she examined his resume that he made the previous day.
Even though his degrees were from another world, Ms. Cheerilee stated that they should be fine. Sending a copy to the Board of Equestria’s Education was all she needed to validate it. The board had a special spell that could verify if a degree was real or not. It didn’t matter where it was from, as long as the owner of the diploma actually worked for the diploma. Luckily she had a gem of her own that contained the spell that verified the man’s documents.
“Thanks.” He said.
“How many martial arts do you know?” Barbara said as she too looked at the resume and documents.
“Quite a bit.” He smiled sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head.
“What sports or clubs do the kids have?” He asked.
“None, we’re such a small school that we don’t have the funding for it.” Cheerilee sighed.
“Well, believe it or not I used to teach martial arts back at Reefside. It was something I did to help the kids out. It kept a lot of them out of trouble. I wouldn’t mind teaching the kids martial arts.” He said with a smile.
“You’d really do that? Oh the children would love that!” The mare asked with excitement.
“Sure. I’d be happy to teach you as well.” Tommy said with a smile.
“W-What? I’m not really much of a fighter.” She said with a blush.
“It never hurts for a young lady to know how to defend yourself.” He said kindly.
“W-Well, I guess I could give it a try.” She said with embarrassment.
Miss Cheerilee asked Tommy how the educational system worked where he was from. Tommy went into a quick explanation on how the United States educational system works. Tommy explained that there were flaws with it but overall it was pretty good. He went on to explain the curriculums that he taught.
“That’s amazing, hardly anypony learns algebra before they reach college. It’s usually something that only colleges teach due to it being so advance.” She said, surprised at how advanced the teaching methods of earth were.
“If you can teach the foals that, it could give them better opportunities.” She said.
“I’d be more than happy to teach them.” Tommy answered.
“That would be wonderful!” She said with a smile.
“So does this mean that I got the job?” Tommy asked.
“You got the job the second you walked in.” She giggled.
“Thank you Ms. Cheerilee.” He said with a smile as he reached out to shake her hand only for her to pull him into a hug. Despite being here for only a short amount of time. Tommy could definitely see that ponies were more touchy feely than humans.
He returned the hug to which she smiled.
“Just call me Cheerilee.” She said with a smile.
“Alright, then call me Tommy.” He smiled as they both break the hug.
“I have to ask, are there any special cases with the students that I should know about.” He asked.
“Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon like to bully others, Snips is a little slow but the doctors say he’ll grow out of it thanks to magic therapy. But for now he has some trouble with his class work. Snips is a very sweet colt, he just needs a little help. Thankfully he has a good friend like Snails to help him out.” She said with a sigh.
“Well at least he’s going to grow up normal. Where I’m from there is no way to fix something like that. If an individual is born mentally handicapped. It’s usually for life.” He said with a sad sigh to which the mare and dragoness frown.
“Sounds rough.” Barbara said with a sad tone to her voice.
“It is.”
“But I should have no problem with helping him. I have dealt with situations like this before.” He added.
“Really? Like what?” Barbara asked as she started to get into the conversation.
“I’ve dealt with suicidal teens, students who were being abused by their parents, students who were homeless, addicted to drugs, pregnant teens, even students who were were sexually abused.” He explained.
Cheerilee and Barbara had disturbed expressions.
“My world is a tough place to live. But I like to think that the good out ways the bad by a lot.” He said which seemed to calm the two down.
“Sorry about that, I’ve never really heard things like that happening. Not even in the big cities like Canterlot.” Cheerilee said regaining her composure.
“I’m glad that this world is better in that area than mine.” He said.
“I hope the kids won’t be put off by my appearance or me technically being an alien.” He added with worry.
“Oh don’t worry about that. I’m sure the children will love you.” She said with a kind laugh.
“That’s good.” He smiled.
“Besides, the kids will love having a living breathing mythological creature teaching them.” She smiled.
“What do you mean?” The man asked with confusion.
“Well, humans are considered creatures of legend and ancient mythology. Quite frankly it feels very surreal just to be talking to you like this.” She explained.
“Really? What are the myths surrounding humans?” He asked out of curiosity.
“They say if you get a lock of human hair you’ll have eternal luck. Many believe that if a human appears it’s a good omen. Others say that humans are mystical creatures that can have immense power beyond even the princesses.” She said.
“But the most common ones are that humans are good luck. They have special coins that are very valuable that they carry on them all the time or are storing way. But the most popular one is that if you fall in love with a human then you have an amazing life or something like that.” She explained.
“Really, it sounds like everyone thinks I’m a leprechaun or something.” He chuckled, causing Cheerilee and Barbara to laugh as well.
“I don’t know anything about the other stuff but these are the only coins I have on me.” He said as he pulled out a few pennies, quarters, nickels, and dimes.
Cheerilee and Barbara’s mouths dropped when they saw the coins.
“What? Was it something I said?” He asked.
“What are those coins made out of?” Barbara asked.
“Mostly copper. Some trace amounts of nickel in them as well. Why?” He asked to which the two females looked at him like he was crazy.
“Copper is extremely rare in Equestria. Equestria’s natural deposits are so small that it’s not allowed to be exported. What little that is mined is used for constructing technology. I mean there are substitutes but copper yields better results. It’s kind of the same story with nickel and stainless steel.” Miss Cheerilee said.
“How valuable is the amount I have right here?” He asked.
“Enough that one of those coins could put you up in a very fancy hotel in canterlot’s noble district for a whole month with room service and everything and you’d still have some left over.” Barbara said in awe.
Tommy thought for a moment how his cousin would always make fun of him for always collecting whatever random coins he found ever since he was a kid. Tommy had a room filled with jars and jars of coins that lined shelves that lined the walls. He liked to collect coins, it was something his grandpa and him would do when he was little. Then there was also the fact that Tommy believed in saving money.
“Who’s laughing now cousin.” He thought smugly.
“Here.” He said as he handed the teacher and the dragoness a few coins each.
“What’s this for?” They asked surprised.
“I can spare a few.”
“I can’t accept this. This is too much.” Cheerilee said.
“Same here.” Barb said as they handed the pennies back to him.
“Don’t worry about it I got plenty of more. Use it on what you want. Besides, where I’m from a few pennies are worth nothing really.” He said.
“Wow, I guess not all of the myths are false. But it wouldn’t feel right if I used this on myself so I’ll use it on fixing up the school.” Cheerilee said.
“I understand.”
“Thank you.” The teacher said.
“Thanks.” Barb said.
“No problem.” He said.
The three of them talked a little more. Tommy liked how Cheerilee was a real down to earth mare that loved her students and would do anything to help them out.
After a while Tommy and Barbara said their goodbyes and made their way back to the man’s house.
I entered my home with Barbara. I was happy, tomorrow would be my first day of teaching in this world.
The second I entered I saw two very tall beings. One was a pure white pony with both a horn and wings and the other one was a midnight blue pony that also had a horn and a pair of wings who was tall but slightly smaller than the white one.
I read about these type of creatures before, I think they are called alicorns.
The midnight blue one was watching Sailor Moon on the TV as she had a giddy look on her face as Pinkie Pie sat next to her was talking to her about the show. The two seemed to get along very well.
I turned my attention to the white one who was talking to Twilight. It seemed no one had noticed me and Barbara walk in.
“Hm… It seems that he comes from an interesting world. These power rangers are heroes. It says that they have saved the lives of billions.” The white one said as they looked at an encyclopedia from my library. She seemed astonished by earth’s population.
“I must say this human’s world is very interesting, its way more advance than ours.” The white alicorn added as she looked at an entry on technology.
“I know right!” Twilight said.
“I still don’t understand though how a creature of legend such as a human is here and exists.” The white alicorn added.
“As long as no one tries to dissect me and make me their pet then I’m fine with being considered a mythological creature.” I said to which they both jumped at finally realizing my presence.
“Tommy!” Twilight said as she jumped up surprised.
“Hey Twilight, doing some research?” I asked knowing full well that was exactly that she was doing. Considering she’s the bookworm type, that doesn’t come as a surprise to me.
“Yes, sorry about that. You startled me. How did things go over at the school house?” She asked.
“Great. I start tomorrow.” I said with a smile.
“That’s great!” She said with a smile.
“Thanks. Who’s your two new friends?” I gestured to the two alicorns.
“I am Princess Celestia, Princess of the sun and this is my sister Princess Luna. Princess of the Moon.” She said.
I found it ironic that a moon princess was watching Sailor Moon.
“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Tommy Oliver.” Celestia said as she held out her hand.
“Likewise.” I shook her hand.
“The pleasure is also ours as well, human known a Tommy Oliver!” Luna said as she shook my hand as well.
“Luna, your voice is getting loud again.” Celestia said in a motherly tone to her sister.
“W-We-I am very sorry.” She said with a blush.
“It’s okay, I’m already a little deaf as is. If anything I was able to hear you better.” I said with a smile.
Explosions caused by evil space monsters will cause deafness children, especially when said explosion goes off right next to your head. That’s my PSA of the day ladies and gentlemen.
“You have hearing problems? My apologies. Allow me to help you with that.” Celestia said as her horn started to glow a golden yellow.
I felt my ears pop and my hearing fully return.
I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t have any ringing in my ears anymore.
“T-Thanks.” I said not knowing what else to say to her.
“Think nothing of it.” She said.
At that moment a thought came to me. A harmless prank that came to my mind that involved one of the legends of humans that Cheerilee told me earlier. Also, it was a very good way to thank her and her sister.
“Because you helped me out princess, I’d like to show you my appreciation.” I told her with a smile.
“Oh there is no need to Mr. Oliver.” She said.
“I insist and please, call me Tommy. I’ll be right back.” I said as I went to my coin collection room.
None of them followed me thankfully. The girls never found all of the rooms in my house. They must of missed them by accident or something.
I walked into the room that was filled with shelves that were filled with jars that lined the walls. Each jar was filled to the brim with coins. I know what you’re thinking. Why do I have so many regular coins in one room? I also collect vintage coins that are across the room in a set of special draws. But when I was a kid my grandpa got me into to collecting coins which taught me how to save up and that stuff.
Over the years I just kept saving up these coins and now I have a whole room full of them. Also, the other reason why I saved up all of these coins is due to an OCD like habit.
I grabbed one of the smaller jars, a mason jar filled with quarters, pennies, nickels, and dimes and walked out of the room and locked it behind me. The only way to get into that room was with the code for the keypad.
As I walked back to the living room I passed by a few other rooms before making it to the living room.
I sat the mason jar on the table. I decided to put on a little act.
“I do not do this for many, but because you healed me and your subjects have helped me ever since I got here, you have all won my favor!” I said trying to sound mystical and ominous.
Both of the Princesses along with the girls all looked at me with wide eyed curiosity and excitement. Barbara was laughing at my act.
I opened the jar and handed the girls some of the coins. Their eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their heads when they saw the coins.
I then handed the mason jar to Celestia and Luna.
“These are my peoples’ sacred coins!” I said dramatically.
“R-Really?” The two alicorns asked.
“Na, I’m just messing with you, there’s nothing sacred about them. Those just some coins from my world.” I told them.
“These are human coins?” Luna said as she looked at the coins and gasped.
“These are practically pure copper!” Celestia gawked.
“So the legends are true! Humans have special coins that they carry with them!” Twilight gasped as she looked at the coins I gave her.
“Sister, this jar will pay off our national debt and then some!” Luna said.
“Tommy, why are you giving this to us?” Rarity asked as she looked at the coins in her hands.
“Simple, you girls have helped me out ever since I got here. I can’t repay you enough.” I told the girls. They went out of their way to help me, an alien they know nothing about. It was the least I could do.
They tried to give them back to me but I told them it was alright. They kept protesting but eventually they saw that I was very stubborn and there was no way that I was going to take the coins back. So in the end they kept the coins.
“Why give this to us?” Celestia asked me.
“Consider it a peace offering or something. Like your sister said. You could use it to pay off your country’s national debt or something along those lines.” I told her to which they both smiled. Quite frankly I was surprised that the pocket change I had been collecting over the years was now worth a fortune.
“But Tommy these are way too valuable! We can’t accept these!” Fluttershy said slightly above a whisper. The other girls nodded in agreement.
“Consider it a gift. Besides, I have plenty of those where that came from.” I told her.
Everyone in the room went wide eyed at that.
“What?” I asked confused.
“You have such riches lying around your home yet you have no protection!” Luna panicked.
“Trust me, I have a means for protection.” I told her.
“But a stallion that lives on his own without a herd, I find it hard to believe that you could defend yourself.” Luna said.
“Luna, remember what Twilight wrote in her letters about Mr. Oliver?” her sister said.
“…Point taken.” She replied with a blush.
“What did you mean by a herd? And what does me being a guy have to do with anything?” I asked her.
“Stallions are quite rare. The number of mares to stallions’ ratio is 10:1 in most places, but in the places that have it worse are 20:1.” Celestia said.
“Are you saying that males are basically an endangered species here?”
“I wouldn’t put it that way but male births are kind of rare. So yes, in away males are an endangered species.” Celestia explained.
That would explain why I saw a lot of mares and hardly any stallions outside when I went to see Miss Cheerilee.
Celestia then explained how mares will often share a stallion so they can have a chance at a relationship. They form a herd and love the stallion as well as each other. They live together and form a tight knit family and have babies that they all love and take care of as if they were their own.
Basically it came down to this:
1. Approximately 90% of the mares in Equestria are bisexual while the remaining 10% are either heterosexual or homosexual.
2. Mares outnumber stallions 10 to 1.
3. Equestria was a Matriarchy, a female dominant society.
4. Interspecies relationships were common and accepted, therefore making them legal.
5. Some, if not all gender roles were switched.
6. Due to the lack of stallions herds are formed making polygamy legal and widely practiced. A herd comprised of one stallion and 2 or more mares. The mares all share, protect, and love the stallion. The mares not only are able to love and share the stallion, they are able to love their other herd mates too. Also, in every herd there was a lead mare who was in charge of the herd and a second mare who was second in command. While monogamy was legal and accepted, it was rarely practiced.
I felt like the world was spinning around me at hearing this. I had no idea how to feel about this.
The only thing that I can think of right now is that somewhere out there is some guy out there in an alternate universe who is dealing with the same exact news as I am… And for some strange reason he is saying ‘Oro’.
“Are you okay?” The sun princess asked.
“Yeah, it’s just things are much different where I’m from.”
“How so?” She asked.
I explained how the gender ratio is 50:50 and that it was a male dominant culture in most countries on earth and that most relationships were monogamist.
“I understand how that can be jarring to you. I must say that I am rather surprised that your world has so many males. But don’t worry, the elements of harmony as well as me and my sister shall help you adjust to this world.” She said in a motherly tone.
“Thanks…It’s just overwhelming to hear is all… So… Any particular reason why two princesses are visiting me in my home. Not that I don’t enjoy your company.” I said changing the subject.
“When you came into this world we felt a very powerful presence. A powerful presence that came from you.” She said.
“…I see.” I answered, waiting to see what she would say. I did not like how the conversation was going so I was going to play this one by ear.
“I’m kind of confused on why you would sense a powerful presence coming from me, I’m just a high school teacher.” I explained.
“As well as a scientist and a master martial artist of many exotic fighting styles.” She said as we now all sat in the living room.
“My little ponies believe that you are some type of knight. I must say that I am very interested in what type of cutie mark you have with so many talents.” She said with a smile that showed she meant no ill will towards me.
“I’ve been telling them that I am not a knight.” I sighed.
“Yet you have bruises and scrapes all over.” She said with concern.
“Training accident.” I said trying to move on from the subject.
“And what’s a cutie mark?” I asked.
“It’s a special symbol that appears on a pony’s flanks and shoulders that shows their special talent in life, they get it when they find their talent. What cutie mark do you have?” Rarity asked.
“I don’t have one, humans don’t have cutie marks. We have tattoos that we can get if we want. It’s basically a type of art that you have put onto your body permanently. Many get them just to get them while others get them for personal reasons. The process requires you to basically have a needle stab you thousands of times in order to get the ink under your skin.” I told them to which they seemed to cringe at the process.
“Then how do you find out what your special talent is?” Rarity asked.
“We don’t, we pretty much try to find what we’re good at and hope it works out for the best. Most just pick a line of work they like and try to get that line of work. Besides, humans have lots of talents. You just pick one and work to hone your skills at it.” I explained.
They all seemed very impressed.
“Twilight said that you mentioned that you and you’re friends were part of a group similar to the elements of harmony.” Luna stated with a smile.
“You never did tell me about that!” Twilight said in an upset tone.
Everyone looked at me expectantly.
“Why are you all so determined to know about this?” I asked curiously.
“Because if you were part of a group like that, then that means you’ve done great things to help out others and protect them!” Pinkie chirped happily.
“That is true, I sense great power coming from you, as well as great good coming from you.” Celestia said.
“Well, you really want to know?” I asked.
“Yes.” They all answered.
“You sure you want to know?” I added.
“Yes!” They answered a little louder with excitement.
“Are you sure you’re sure?” I asked again as a smirk spread across my face.
“Yes!!!” The six mares said excitedly.
“It’s… a secret!” I said to which the girls looked upset but I couldn’t help but laugh at my own dumb joke.
“Sorry ladies, it’s just a very personal subject. But understand I would never harm anyone unless it was in self-defense or in the defense of others. I can tell you’re asking me these questions princess to see if I’m a threat to your subjects. I can understand that. But understand I mean no harm to anyone. I come in peace as cliché as that sound.” I said.
“And for the record the group me and my friends were a part was just a group that did volunteer community service. We helped out the community whenever we could.” Technically I was not lying, I just left out the part of fighting monsters. Twilight eyed me suspiciously.
“I know that you are good Mr. Oliver. Twilight has sent me plenty of letters telling us how you’ve been ever since you got here. Especially how you saved Rarity’s baby sister, Sweetie Belle. For that I thank you and I respect your decision to keeping certain parts of your life to yourself.” Celestia said.
“Tis true. Thou were very brave. The nature of this visit is simply to get to know you. Tis not every day that a mythical creature appears.” Luna said.
“Thanks, but I was just doing what was right.” I told her.
“I overheard you saying that you got a job at the school house?” The princess of the sun asked.
“Correct. I’ll be starting tomorrow at the school house.” I told her.
“With the coins you have I must say that there would be no need for you to work. You could live a life of luxury off of the money from those.” She said.
“Teachings my passion. I like doing things for the kids.” She seemed to smile brightly at this.
“I’m glad to hear that. Twilight has told me that your world is much more advanced than ours. By teaching the young students at the school you’ll be giving them brighter futures with your other worldly knowledge.” She added.
“Children are the future. We need to make sure that they have the best opportunities to follow their dreams.” I replied.
Everyone smiled at this.
“We have to ask, how does one acquire so many weapons?” Luna asked.
“We’re I’m from weapons such as swords and spears are considered ancient weapons that are no longer used in wars. They are only used for ceremonial purpose. But most just like to collect them. You can find them at flea markets or weapons shop.” I told her.
“What weapons do humans use if they no longer use swords or similar weapons?” Celestia asked.
“We use guns and missiles. Soldier’s still carry around combat knives for close quarters combat but we mainly use fire arms or explosives.” I told her.
“What are guns and firearms?” Twilight asked.
I explained what guns and missiles and the like were and what damage they could do.
The girls cringed at my explanation.
“T-They sound scary.” Fluttershy said nervously.
“They can be… But the worst weapons got to be the nuclear bombs.”
“W-What’s that?” Fluttershy asked me shakily.
“It’s basically a weapon that can wipe out a gigantic city filled with millions of people, killing them all in the blink of an eye and leveling the city and wiping it off the face of the earth. To make matters even worse, it makes the area that it hits uninhabitable for millions of years due to radiation.” I told the girls.
They had looks of horror on their faces.
“Why would such a weapon exist?!” Celestia gasped.
“For war." I said simply
The girls were greatly disturbed by my answer.
"But lets move on to another subject." I said.
They all quickly agreed to the subject change, I think if I gave any more details they would have lost their lunch.
“Would ya say human kind is good or bad?” Applejack asked.
“I’d say we’re good, but we have a lot of problems that we need to work on before we can live in a world of peace and harmony like this world.” I answered truthfully.
“Well that is good to hear that human kind is at least trying to work on their problems.” Celesita answered this time.
“Twilight has told me about how your world combats monsters and how you grew up at the center point of it all.” She stated.
“That’s true, it happened when I was in high school. I live with the memories of those attacks to this day.” I said as Saban came up to me whimpering to which I began to pet her.
“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to bring up such a horrible subject.” The sun princess said apologetically.
“It’s alright.”
“Do you suffer from any psychological illness due to these events?” Luna asked.
“LUNA!” Celestia scolded her sister as the girls gasped at her question.
“W-We did not mean for it to come out that way!” Luna began to panic thinking that she offended me.
“It’s okay, I know you didn’t mean anything by it. But to answer your question…Yes.” At my answer all of the mares’ ears pressed against their heads in sadness as they had sad looks on their faces.
“My mother is a psychiatrist. She has both her M.D. and a P.H.D., she diagnosed me with PTSD… She’s tried to help me over the years by being my personal therapist. But for a while I just traveled around the world after high school. She said it could be good for me before going to college.” I told them.
“We apologize.” Luna said regretfully.
“As I said before, you don’t need to be sorry.” I told her.
“You said your mother was a psychiatrist right, what does your father do?” Twilight asked.
“He was chief of police of Angel Grove but he’s retired now. He’s living the easy live now with my mom.” I smiled.
“So your father was basically the captain of the royal guard where you’re from?” Twilight asked.
“Yeah, you could say that.”
“What were your parents like?” Fluttershy asked.
“They were always very kind and very loving. I never wanted for anything. They had well-paying jobs so we never had trouble with finances. They did their best to raise me and teach me good morals.”
“You said you traveled around your world. What was it like?” Celestia asked.
“It was one of the more fun times of my life. It helped me to clear my head and learn a little bit about myself. I also got to catch up with an old friend in a place called Tokyo, Japan.”
“That sounds like the country of Neighpan.” Pinkie chirped.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the pun.
“What was your friend like?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“She very nice… An air head half the time. But someone you can trust and is dependable… and she likes to eat everything in sight.” I joked.
“That sounds like Pinkie Pie.” Rainbow Dash joked.
“Aww, you know me so well dashie.” Pinkie giggled.
“Her name’s Usagi Tsukino, but everyone just calls her Serena.” I said.
What most people didn’t know was that she was the legendary Sailor Moon. They even made a TV show about her but thankfully no one ever found out her identity or the other sailor scouts identities. They just made up some fake identity for the show.
Our fathers had apparently been the best of friends for years, they were practically brothers. She was one of my best friends, so were the other sailor scouts. But that is a story I’ll talk about later on.
Though I do have to admit, Tuxedo Mask and me didn’t get along so well at first but we later on became good friends.
“Seeing other cultures was very fun and rewarding for me.” I explained.
“Do you think that it would be possible for you to come to Canterlot sometime and give a presentation on your world and humankind to some of my scholars? I must say, you have caused quite the stir amongst the public with your arrival to our world.” Celestia giggled.
“Sure, it should be no problem I could probably do it in the next few days.” I answered. I guess everyone knows I’m here now.
“That sounds perfect.” She smiled.
But her smile quickly turned to a frown.
“Listen Tommy… There is more to this visit. I came here to get to know you a little bit… But also to deliver some bad news.” She said.
I felt my stomach drop. I knew this was coming. So I beat her to it.
“You can’t send me back, can you?”
“…No… I’m sorry.” Celestia stated sadly.
That was it… No way back… I expected this but yet that doesn’t make it easy. I wouldn’t see my mom and dad or anybody again. Not like I had anyone besides them really.
Like I said before, most of my friends had either died or moved on in life.
Serena was one of the few that I saw every so often due to our families being friends. But those times were far and in between.
But that didn’t matter now because I would never see them again.
“You were lucky to be alive, the way you came to this world could have easily killed you. How you are alive is beyond me.” She said.
Everyone was silent for a few minutes as we sat there for a few minutes.
I’m not going to lie, this was getting to me. But not as bad as I thought it would be.
“Are you going to be alright?” Luna asked.
“Yeah.”
I had a chance at a peaceful life. I looked at the picture of me and my friends that was sitting on the desk next to me.
My friends would want me to be happy. I would never forget them. But I had to move on myself.
“This may seem bad, but you can make a new life for yourself here.” Celestia said.
“You can find love and raise a family. Continue you’re work as a teacher and a scientist. Help revolutionize Equestria with your knowledge.” She informed.
“You’re right. But what girl would want me? I’ve never really had much luck with relationships. Besides, I’m an alien. Everyone probably thinks I’m a freak.” I laughed.
“I find that hard to believe.” A new voice said.
A young Pegasus mare came in the living room. Her fur was a pearl white and her mane was a rose color which covered one side of her face. She wore golden armor and flashed a smile towards me.
“My apologies Mr. Oliver. I forgot to introduce you to my new guard captain.” Celestia stated with a blush.
“It’s alright, and just call me Tommy.”
“I heard you had an assortment of exotic weapons so I had my guard captain take stock of them in hopes that it could help the royal guard out with some new designs. I should have asked.” She explained sheepishly.
“It’s fine, I would however appreciate it if you ask sometime.” I told her. I could tell in her eyes that she really meant no harm. But that didn’t excuse the lack of manners.
“Sorry about that.” She said scratching the back of her head nervously.
“It’s alright.”
“Since Twilight’s brother Shining Armor married princess Cadance, him and his wife have to rule the Crystal Empire. So he retired from his position of Captain of the Royal Guard thus leaving an opening for my new Captain of the Royal Guard.” Celestia explained.
I turned my attention to the guard captain.
“Pleasure to meet you miss…”
“Blade Dancer, and the pleasure is all mine Tommy.” She said in a seductive tone. I had to admit, she was very beautiful.
“Thomas Oliver, nice to meet you Captain Blade Dancer.” I greeted.
“Please, just call me Blade Dancer, Blade, or Dancer. What’s a stallion like you doing living all on your own?” Blade Dancer asked.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Well a stallion like you should be taken care of by some good mares.” She said with a wink.
“That’s right, gender roles are reversed here… Oh well, at least that means I can get free drinks.” I thought.
“I’ve just always been kind of a loner I guess. I’m used to being independent and on my own.” I told her honestly.
“Well, there are plenty of mares looking for a stallion. I must saying I wouldn’t mind a stallion like you. Especially a human stallion. I hope the myths I hear about humans are true.” She said with flirty tone.
“Tis true. Many a mare would love to find a stallion such as thou.” Luna said. I didn’t believe her. I’m nothing special.
But I did notice every mare in the room eyeing me with bedroom eyes. Especially the elements of harmony. They all looked at me with predatory eyeing a piece of meat.
“If Twilight’s letters are anything to go by, it seems that she and the other elements of harmony have become very ‘interested’ in you.” Celestia giggled.
All of the girls began blushing bright red as they tried to avoid eye contact with me.
Did these girls really have a crush on me? Naw, that couldn’t be right. They just met me.
“There is also the fact that you are an endangered species.” Celestia stated.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Well, you are the only human in existence.” She stared.
“You see, Equestria has a sanctuary policy that protects all living creatures. Especially endangered ones. Though we’ve never ran into the problem of an endangered sentient species before.” She said thoughtfully.
“What does that mean for me?” I was really curious about what she was getting at.
“Well, we can’t just let your species die out. We need to preserve it.”
Oh no. She’s not going to say what I think she is going to say is she
“Stallions can have huge herds, believe it or not some even have over 20 mares in their herd. I mean a young stallion such as yourself should have no problem finding mares. I mean the hospitals test on you showed that you are able to have healthy foals with any sentient species on the planet.” She said.
“What! Woah! Woah! Woah! How the hell did your doctors find that out?” I said as my anger began to rise.
“W-Well, we were curious about you so the doctors took some sperm samples.” Celestia said nervously.
Honestly, I know they were curious as to what I was and wanted to take samples but I still didn’t appreciate them practically violating me.
“I-I am sorry, the doctors were just trying to be thorough.” Celestia stuttered. She was right. They were just trying to make sure that I was safe and healthy.
“You’re right. Sorry about that.” I apologized.
“It’s alright, I understand. But what I say is true. You are a mythical creature and we need to preserve your race.”
“Why is this so important to you?” I asked.
“Because we can’t let you’re species die out!” The sun princess stated urgently.
“According to the tests, you’re 3 times more fertile than a regular stallion. It also showed that humans can last longer than stallions in bed.” Luna explained.
The mares all looked at me in awe.
“Are you saying that I can get any mare pregnant?” I asked shocked.
“A mare can only get pregnant when she is in heat. But yes, if you were to lay with a mare during heat season, you would most definitely get her pregnant.” Celestia answered as if it were nothing unusual.
“Way to go stud.” Blade Dancer said eyeing me hungrily.
“Ooh, you’ll have little baby foals around your house in no time!” Pinkie said with a smile.
“I’m still trying to get over the fact that a guy can have more than one lover… I’m not going to lie though, every guy has dreamed of being in this situation.” I said.
The girls all giggled at this.
“Believe it or not darling, many mares find that an attractive trait for one to be as shy and innocent as you are.” Rarity giggled to which I blushed a little.
“So basically you want me to have a bunch of babies?” I asked Celestia.
“I want you to be happy.” She said. This lady didn’t even know me yet she wanted me to be happy.
“You don’t even know me, yet you want me to be happy. I find that hard to believe.” I told her.
“We agree that it does sound suspicious. My sister has come on a little too strong it seems.” Luna added.
“S-Sorry… What I really want is for you to give others a chance to get to know you and enter your life. A young stallion like you shouldn’t be alone.” Celestia stated.
“Equestria is really that hard up for males, isn’t it?” I asked with a deadpan expression.
“…Yes.” She said sheepishly.
“I have no problem giving mares a chance for a relation. But it feels like you’re trying to force me into doing something right now.”
“What! No! No! No! I didn’t mean for it to come out like that!” Celestia shrieked in horror.
“I think I know what you mean princess. Don’t worry about. I know you mean well.” I told her.
“Again, I’m sorry about that.” She repeated.
“I have to ask though… How old are you?” Celestia asked.
“28. Why?” I said.
Her eyes widened in shock. Same for the girls.
“How many days are in your years? Ours has 365 days, 12 months.” She asked me.
“Same here. Why?” I was getting more confused.
“I thought Twilight’s letter was a little weird when she listed your age.” She said.
“I didn’t pay attention at the time, I was too busy taking notes.” Twlight said.
“How long do humans live for?” Pinkie asked.
“70 to 100 years. Some have even made it over 100 years. But most live to be like 70 to 80 on average.”
The second I said that, Pinkie Pie’s hair made a deflating sound and went straight. Her eyes welled up with some tears.
“What’s wrong?” I asked as I saw all of the girls looking sad.
“On average most ponies live to be up to 800 or even 1000.” Twilight said sadly.
I couldn’t believe but the way they looked at me with pity in their eyes told me that they were speaking the truth.
“How old are all of you?” I asked.
“I’m 210.” Twilight stated.
“I’m 220.” Applejack said.
“I’m 190.” Rarity stated.
“180.” Rainbow Dash answered.
“190.” Pinkie said.
“230.” Fluttershy whispered.
“185.” Barbara said.
“280.” Blade Dancer stated.
My mouth was opening and closing like a fish and my pupils must of have been the size of saucers.
So basically I live only 1/10 of their life span if my math was correct.
I just turned 28 but I look 22 due to keeping in shape. But to them I’m only 2.8 years old compared to them.
“You’re just a foal!” Luna said.
“How old do you have to be to be considered an adult in human society?” Blade Dancer asked. All of the girls were very interested in this as well.
“18. You officially become an adult at the age of 18 in my government’s eyes.” I told them as the girls all looked like they were about to break down crying.
“Oh what a cruel mistress fate is. My knight finally comes for me yet his life is gone with in the blink of an eye.” Rarity cried.
“Not really. I actually have some good news believe it or not.” Celestia said with a smile as she made some pages of medical documents appear in her hands.
“The hospital records show that according to multiple tests. When Tommy went into a seizure, his body was absorbing the magic that was in the atmosphere. According to Twilight, your world had no magic except for a select few.” She said.
“What are you saying?” I asked.
“Ponies and the other species of our world live longer and age slower than humans due to the magic in our atmosphere. Your body has absorbed said magic when you came into this world. Your life span has been increased to that of a ponies as well as your youth. You’ll live and maintain your youth just as long as any pony. Considering your current age and maturity, I’d say you got at least a good 600 years left in you.” Celestia explained smiling.
“Sweet Jesus!” I shouted as I got up. My head was spinning again. I was going to live how long!
“Tommy! I understand that this is overwhelming! But this is a good thing! Just calm down and breathe deeply.” Pinkie said as she led me back to the couch.
It took a little bit before I calmed down enough to think clearly.
What would I do with all of this time?!
“Sorry, I just… Can’t believe that I’m going to live that long. But I’m okay now.” I tried to tell the girls but the seemed to not believe me.
“That’s okay. Look at it this way. We get to spend more time together and become the best of friends!” Pinkie chirped happily as her hair shot back to its puffy state.
“You’re right Pinkie. Thanks.” Her words managed to calm me down.
“There is still the matter about your age. In Equestria the age one is considered a legal age adult is 180. But don’t worry, you’ll still be considered an adult due to cultural differences.” Celestia giggled.
“Great, I’m basically a kid. Then that means the students I’m going to teach tomorrow are going to be much older than me.” I groaned.
All of the girls laughed.
“Don’t worry, due to your maturity you can still get a mare.” She said.
“But I must make sure that you are safe. Due to your age and your being of an endangered species, I hereby make you a protected species and wish you the best of luck in increasing your numbers.” Celestia said as she wrote up a document.
“I will have the guards in town notified of your presence so they know. Also, there will be a guard that will watch out for you in town. In fact her home is in town.” She said.
“Who is it?”
“Me.” Blade Dancer said with a wink.
“And to thank you for helping my little ponies and you generous donation of those precious coins, I give you this.” She said as a huge bag of coins appeared in front of me.
“These are bits. Equestria’s currency. Welcome to Equestria.” She said with a smile.
“You know what this calls for?” Pinkie said giddily.
“What?” I asked.
“A PARTY!!!” Pinkie cheered.
And party we did. The girls took me to Sugar Cube Corner where they had a surprise party set up for me.
The party was amazing to say the least. The whole town was there including Blade Dancer and the princesses as well, they gave me a very warm welcome. Especially the mares. They seemed to flock to me but the girls seemed to be very protective of me.
I met an interesting unicorn who was the DJ for the party, her name was Vinyl Scratch and her mane was an amazing neon blue and her fur was a snow white color. She wore a cool pair of sunglasses. She was pretty interesting. She was good friends with the girls. We talked for a while and became friends.
I even saw Cheerilee there. We talked for a while. When she found out how old I was she looked like her eyes were about to pop out of her head. But the princesses explained the situation and she understood completely.
The party when on into the night. But eventually the party ended. The girls and the princesses left and I went home.
Maybe it won’t be so bad living here.
One thing did get me though. The princesses said that the mares go into heat. I never asked her what she meant by that. I can only assume that she meant that mares have a mating season for when they get pregnant. I mean, it’s not like they are going to become some sexed crazed stallion hunting machines right?…Right?
Queen Chrysalis was listening intently to Atir. Atir had come to her a few months prior to the invasion of Canterlot hurt and near the brink of death. Chrysalis didn’t expect to run into another changeling queen in the area she was in. As far as she knew, the other changeling hives were in other regions.
“That’s why I think we should attack ponyville. The invasion last year was a failure, but that doesn’t mean it was for not. We found out who the elements of harmony are. We need love to survive. By taking them hostage we can ransom them and get the princess to surrender. She’s too sentimental. That will be her down fall.” Atir informed.
Chrysalis remembered the invasion of Canterlot vividly. She had almost won. She had defeated Celestia. If it weren’t for that damn princess of love and her husband they would have taken over Equestria.
She never wanted to invade or take over Equestria, but it was her only option to save her hive. Atir was the one who suggested invading Canterlot. Chrysalis didn’t trust her at first. But she spoke the truth. Her hive had been starving and they were desperate.
When they found Atir, they saw the remnants of her hive. All of them were dead. They all starved to death. That is except for Atir and her son Radlog who.
Her son didn’t say much. But he did follow commands to the T and completed every mission he was on perfectly. He was an excellent sword fighter and was very loyal which lead to him being her personal bodyguard. But something was very eerie about him. Whenever she looked into his eyes it was if he was staring directly into her soul. Then there was the fact that he was full 2 feet taller than Chrysalis. That definitely added to his intimidation factor, making the other changelings respect and fear him.
Atir’s logic was enough of a push for her to go through with the plan.
“We have no choice. We will attack Ponyville and kidnap the elements of harmony.” Chrysalis said emotionlessly.
“I will lead the attack myself.” Chrysalis stated.
“We will be gone for at least a week. Can you watch over the hive while I’m gone Atir?” Chrysalis added.
Despite her initial reservations of the changeling queen, Atir proved to be a very powerful alley and the two surprisingly became good friends. She was grateful to have Atir as an ally and as a friend. Her son Radlog was also a great ally.
“Yes Queen Chrysalis. But please allow my son to join you on this dangerous venture. ” Atir requested as she bowed respectively.
“Thank you. He will be a great asset to me. I shall prepare a group to go with me.” Chrysalis said before she left to prepare for her attack on the small town.
Atir was left by herself in the room.
“Pathetic fool. You actually believe I’m your friend. What an idiot.” She thought.
“I can’t wait to be done with that bitch, just got to let everything unfold as planned. When Chrysalis and her hive take over Equestria, I will kill the bitch and take control of everything. Nothing can get in my way.” She thought as an evil smirk spread across her face.
Tommy found himself in a dark moonlit field. The grass in the field was blown back and forth by the wind and the moon was full and high in the sky.
“Thomas Oliver.” A voice called out to him.
“Who’s there?” He asked only for a very tall alicorn mare that stood slightly taller than Celestia, which was far taller than him. She had a long rose red mane and pristine white fur.
“Who are you?” The former ranger asked.
“I am Faust. I am the one that has summoned you to this world.” The alicorn stated.
“What!” He shouted in surprise and anger.
“I’m sorry for bringing you here and getting you stuck in this world. But this world needs your help green ranger.” Faust said.
“How do you know about my past?” He demanded.
“I have searched for a warrior strong and brave warrior such as yourself. You are the only hope for this world.” She said.
“You still didn’t answer my question.” He said with a look that pierced her very soul.
“I knew your mentor Zordon. He spoke highly of you.” She said nervously.
This caught the young ranger’s attention.
“How do you know Zordon?” He asked.
“He is an interstellar being that is trapped between dimensions. He and I have met due to this. He told me great tales of you. That you are the greatest ranger to ever live.” She explained.
“How is he?” She asked, trying to lighten the mood.
“Zordon’s dead.” He told her.
“What! How did he die?!” Faust gasped.
“He sacrificed himself to save the lives of millions.” He said.
“I-I see.” She said with a forlorn look.
“Why have you summoned me here?” He asked.
“A great evil is coming. All of Equestria is in danger. Millions will die if you do not stop this threat. I fear for the safety of my daughters, Celestia and Luna as well for my little ponies. You are our only hope.” She said pleadingly.
“What is this threat?” He asked.
“You must be prepared to fight. All that I can say is that this threat knows you very well.” She said before fading away.
“Dammit! Why is it they never give a clear answer on who the hell the bad guy is! It’s like every JRPG I play!” Tommy shouted.
Tommy had gotten to the school extra early and helped Cheerilee prepare for the day. With the two of them it took no time at all. The two talked while they waited for the students to arrive.
As the students arrived many of them were staring at their new teacher.
When all of the students arrived and were seated at their respected seats, Miss Cheerilee stood before the class.
“Class, I’d like you to give a warm welcome to our newest human teacher.” She said as Tommy got up and wrote his full name on the chalk board before turning to face the class.
“Hello class. My name is Thomas Oliver. But you can all call me Mr. Oliver. I’ll be teaching alongside Miss Cheerilee.” He said with a smile.
“Does anypony have any questions for Mr. Oliver?” Cheerilee asked.
All of the little colts and fillies quickly raised their hands excitedly.
“Yes?” He pointed to a little brown colt who wore a hat with a little propeller on it.
“Is it true that you’re really from another world?” He asked.
“Yes it is. I’m from a planet called Earth.” Tommy said with a smile.
The class became more eager to ask questions when they heard that.
“What’s your world like? Is it futuristic?” Sweetiebelle asked.
From what Tommy saw, this world had cell phones and video games and excellent healthcare technology. But other than that, this world was really far behind in technology compared to earth.
“Yes Sweetiebelle. We have a lot of technology that does seem very futuristic at times.” He said to which the class awed at.
“What’s it like to be from another world and living in Equestria?” Miss Cheerilee asked.
“It can be overwhelming at times but I really like this world.” He answered to which she smiled.
“Are the myths about humans true?” Pepperment Twist asked with a heavy lisp.
“I’m not sure, I don’t know much about the myths that are said about humans.” He said.
“What’s one of the strangest thing you’ve ever done?” Applebloom asked.
Tommy instantly thought back to one of the weirdest times with him and his friends.
“I’m 28.” He said making the school students giggle and laugh.
“That’s younger than us. I’m 136.” Applebloom giggled.
“Now class, please show Mr. Oliver respect.” Cheerilee said.
“Yes Miss Cheerilee.” The whole class said in unison.
“Thank you. Also, in case any student is interested I’m setting up a martial arts club after school in case anyone is interested. My only requirement is that you maintain you grades and behave yourselves.” He said.
“Okay class, let’s begin with today’s lesson.” Cheerilee said happily.
The class went smoothly for the most part. Tommy was actually feeling a lot better about his situation. What surprised him was that the school day only lasts 4 hours a day compared to the usual 8 hours a day back on earth.
He chalked it up to the differences in life spans. Since ponies lived much longer than humans it would mean they could space out their education over a longer time span and take it at a slower pace.
The martial arts club went excellently as well. Miss Cheerilee participated in the club and had a lot of fun.
As Tommy walked back home after his first day of teaching, he found himself smiling. True he was still sad about never being able to go back to his world. But all things considered. It could have been much worse. Things were actually going better for him here despite how he had only been here for a few days. If anything, he was feeling much happier. He had a job and was making friends.
But one thing got to him. What was this threat that was coming to Equestria, and what did Faust mean by ‘This threat knows you well.” and when was it coming to this world.
Was the whole thing of talking to Faust just a dream or was it something more?
Tommy would bide his time carefully and watch for any threat. He just prayed that the whole thing with Faust was just a dream.
Jennifer Oliver looked at the area where her son’s house had been. He had been gone for over a week and she had no idea where her son was but from what she knew, her son’s house had disappeared in a cloud of green lightning.
She thought it was ironic all things considered.
“Oh Tommy, no matter how much you try, it seems that you’ll always be dealing with your past as a power ranger.” She said with melancholy.
She remembered when they adopted him when he was just a boy. He was so shy and timid when they first met him but over the years he really came out of his shell.
She remembered reading the file on his ‘biological mother’. If she could even be called that. That woman was nothing more than a drug addict that put her addiction before her own son. She swore that she that as long as she lived, he would never go back to that evil woman.
But that didn’t matter now, she and her husband gave him the life that he deserved.
She just prayed that her son was safe and happy wherever he was.
She thought back to their time living in angel grove when he was still in high school.
“Those were some crazy days.” She thought to herself as she remembered the day that she first found out that her son was the legendary green ranger. She nearly passed out at seeing her son transform into a super hero.
Her husband stood beside her as they both examined where the house use to be. He hugged her when he saw tears flowing down her cheeks.
“Why does he always have to suffer? Why does he always have to put his life on the line? He’s risked his life so many times right under our noses and we never even knew it for the longest time. After all the good he’s done, why does this have to happen to him?” She asked her husband as he stared into her pleading eyes.
“I don’t know, he’s always been the stubborn type. But I have a feeling that were ever he is, he’s alive and alright.” He said.
“You really think so?” She asked.
“I do, he’s our son after all. Besides, he knows how to take care of himself.” He said.
“Besides, I’m not going to stop looking for him. I have the entire police force looking for him. We’ll find him.” Tony Oliver said as with a determined look on his face.
“It’s been far too long Tony.” A Japanese man wearing glasses with black hair that had a brown hue to it said as he hugged Tommy’s father.
“How have you been Kenji?” Tony asked with a huge smile.
“Great, just got a promotion.” Kenji said as the two began to talk.
“Ikuko! How are you?” Jennifer said as she hugged a young blue haired Japanese woman.
“Great! I see that you are a mother now!” Ikuko said with a smile.
As Tommy’s parents caught up with their old friends he sat their looking around the city that was around him.
He stared at the tall buildings while off in his own little world. His eyes seemed vacant. Almost as if the lights were on but nobody was home.
“Is that Tommy?” Ikuko asked as she stared at the young boy that was no older than her daughter.
“Yes. That’s my son Tommy.” Jennifer said as she looked at her son. Ever since he witnessed the monster attacks he hadn’t been the same.
“How has the therapy been going?” The blue haired woman asked.
“I’ve hardly made any progress with him. He’s only just started talking to me about what he’s seen and I must say that it is disturbing.” Jennifer said with worry.
Ikuko stared at Tommy, he had his hair tied back in a ponytail. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt that showed his toned arms. She quickly noticed the scars on them.
Jennifer had been writing and talking to her old friend Ikuko over the phone about how Tommy had just recently been missing for almost a week due to a monster attack and how he’s been in the hospital due to it.
She felt bad for him, no one should have to go through something like that. She was thankful that her daughter Usagi didn’t have to go through anything like that.
She saw her daughter staring at Tommy from a distance. He noticed the girl staring at him.
Tommy saw a young Japanese girl with blonde hair. Her hair color struck him as odd but he figured that she must have dyed her hair for some kind of fashion trend.
The girl looked to be the same age as he was.
“What a hunk.” She thought out loud, not realizing what she just said.
“Uh. Thanks.” He said awkwardly making the girl realize what she just said as she looked like she was about to panic when she realized he heard it too.
“Oh Usagi, come here and introduce yourself to our guests. They’re friends of the family.” Usagi’s mother said cheerfully.
“Usagi, this is Thomas Oliver. Tommy this is my daughter Usagi Tsukino.” She said with a smile.
“Hi there Usagi-san. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.” Tommy said with a smile as he shook her hand.
“Like wise, and call me Serena.” She said with a smile.
“It’s getting late. Why don’t we all head inside?” Ikuko said as she led everyone inside. They all talked for hours before finally heading to bed.
The next morning Tommy was sitting at the breakfast table of his father’s friend’s house.
“So Tommy, what do you plan on doing today?” Usagi asked.
“I don’t know, I figured I’d walk around the city and take a look around.” He answered.
“That sounds like a good idea. Usagi could give you a tour of Tokyo.” Ikuko said with a smile.
“That sounds like a great idea. Spending time with a cute girl all day would do you a world of good.” Tommy’s mother said with a smile.
“Yeah, I could introduce you to my friends!” Usagi cheered.
“Come on, Serena, you’re just desperate for a boyfriend.” Shingo, Usagi’s little brother said with a laugh.
“Shut up!” She shouted with a blush.
Ikuko and Jennifer giggled at their kids antics.
“Who knows, if the tour goes good then we might be in laws.” Ikuko said with a giggle.
“Mom!” The two teens shouted in embarrassment.
The two mothers laughed at their children reactions.
Usagi’s embarrassment quickly disappeared when a black cat with a bluish hue to its fur jumped up on her.
For a moment Tommy could have sworn that he saw Serena talking to the cat before jumping up from her seat quickly.
“Um, the tour will have to wait until later. Something just came up!” Usagi shouted as she ran out of the house in a hurry.
“That was weird.” He said before getting up and going outside.
“Be careful Tommy, don’t stay out too long.” Ikuko and Tommy’s mother called out.
“Don’t worry I won’t.” Tommy called back.
Tommy walked down the block and ended up in the city.
“Damn, this city is huge. Might as well buy some souvenirs for everyone.” He said as he shopped around for a bit.
When he finished finding the perfect gifts for his friends he saw a news broadcast on one of the displayed television sets in the store.
He couldn’t understand a word that the news woman was saying due to the broadcast being in Japanese. But the footage told him enough.
Monsters were attacking downtown Tokyo. A bunch of people were running and screaming. But what got his attention was the five girls that were fighting them. He looked closer and saw that one of them was Serena.
“Shit! Those things will over run them!” Tommy said as he saw the girls being out numbered.
He ran behind a store and made sure no one was around before teleporting off.
“Serena, watch out!” Sailor Mars shouted as a blast went off right next to the blonde who barely jumped out of the way in time.
Sailor Moon was panting from the exhaustion of the fight. She couldn’t hold out for much longer. A bunch of monsters were closing in on her. As one of them was about to smash her head in, Sailor Mercury to come to her rescue.
“Mercury Ice Bubble Freeze!” She shouted as she unleashed a blast of bubbles that froze the monster.
Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus grabbed Serena and helped her up.
“There’s too many of them!” She shouted.
All of the girls took off and tried to get some distance between them and the monsters only for the monsters to give chase. The girls ran into a nearby park to try and lose their pursuers. When it looked like they were safe they all collapsed.
“We’ve been fighting those things for over an hour and we still haven’t been able to take them down.” Sailor Mars said as she looked over to her friend.
“Are you okay Serena?” She asked.
“Yeah, I’m okay. I just need to rest for a little bit.” Serena said as she tried to catch her breath.
“Aw, looks like little Sailor Moon is tired.” A voice said mockingly.
The girls stood around Serena in battle stances so they could protect her better.
“Who’s there?” Sailor Jupiter shouted.
A blonde man dressed in a gray military officer like uniform appeared in front of the girls with a bunch of monsters following behind him.
“Jedite! So it was you who sent this many monsters after us.” Sailor Mars asked.
“But of course! I got to thinking how you girls always beat the monsters I send at you one of a time. Then I realized the problem, I’m sending in a monster without backup. It’s like the sending in a general without an army.
“We’ll stop you, and besides Tuxedo Mask will be here.” Serena said as she got up.
When Jedite took a step closer a red rose shot through the air and stuck into the ground near his feet.
A young man dressed in a black tuxedo with a white mask and top hat came out of the shadows.
“Ah tuxedo mask. We’ve been expecting you.” The negaverse commander said with a smirk.
“What’s your plan this time? Trying to steal more energy?” He asked.
“Well that and to finally get rid of you all.”
“And how do you plan on doing that?” Tuxedo mask demanded.
“Like this.” Jedite said as he snapped his fingers causing an explosion that sent the girls and the boy flying backwards and out of the woods and onto the city streets.
“Damn, the trap didn’t go off properly. By all means that should have killed you. But you’re stupid powers protected you. Oh well. Guess we’ll have to do this the old fashion way then.” Jedite said.
“Kill them. You know what kill the civilians as well. We have more than enough energy now, you’ve all gathered more than enough.” He added as his monsters approached the sailor scouts while another group approached the civilians.
“T-This is it. We’re going to die. We failed and because of that those innocent people are going to die.” Sailor Moon thought a tears weld up in her eyes as one of the monsters stepped forward and charged an energy blast aimed at her.
Serena clenched her eyes shut as tears streamed down them.
*CRACK!!!*
A loud crunching sound echoed, but Sailor Moon felt nothing. She opened her eyes and saw the monster standing there with a look of disbelief. Impaled straight through his chest was a white gloved hand that was covered in blood.
The hand was yanked out of the monster’s chest whom fell over dead to reveal a warrior in emerald green armor standing behind the fallen monster.
Serena looked to where the other monster that was going to kill the civilians only to see it laying on the ground, its head was cut clean off. The civilians ran off when they got the chance.
“I-Is that who I think it is?” Sailor Mars asked
“I think it is! That’s a power ranger!” Sailor Mercury said as the Green Ranger repeatedly smashed a monster’s skull into a building’s wall, crushing its skull.
The blood covered ranger charged at the other monsters who fired energy blasts at him.
The blasts barely missed him, causing the ground to explode around him. But the power ranger kept charging through the blasts.
“Come on! Now’s our chance!” Tuxedo mask shouted as he drew a sword from his cane.
“Since when have you had that?!” Sailor Moon asked in shock but she got no answer as he charged into the battle, her and the other sailor scouts followed suite.
Sailor Mars fired a blast of fire from her finger tips that burnt one of her enemies to ash while Sailor Mercury sent a flurry of bubbles that froze one of her enemies. The green ranger took advantage of this opportunity and slammed a kick into it, shattering it to pieces.
Sailor Jupiter fired a bolt of lightning at an oncoming monster.
“Jupiter Thunder Crash!!!” She shouted as she electrocuted the monster.
“Venus Crescent Beam Match!” Sailor Venus shouted as she fired a beam of stars that hit the target, vaporizing it.
Tuxedo mask threw a rose at one of the monsters, hitting him in the face. While it was distracted he slashed it across the chest making it fall to the ground.
Sailor Moon was still barely able to move from exhaustion and her injuries caused her to barely be able to stand. Her head was spinning. She shook off the dizziness and charged an enemy only for said enemy to be blasted in the face by a neon green blast that came from the power ranger's hand. The monsters face was melted off, killing it.
Another enemy slashed at him with a sword only for him to duck under it and head-butt it before snapping its neck.
The Green Ranger tackled another monster to the ground that was trying to go for a little girl. While on top of the monster he began to literally beats its brains out.
Two monsters rushed him only for the power ranger to blast one of them with another neon green energy blast that he shot from his hand before slicing the other one with his dragon dagger followed by a stab to the throat.
(End Song) The Sailor Scouts along with Tuxedo Mask were shocked by how brutal he was fighting.
Jedite was enraged by this superhero wannabe who was killing his lackeys.
“Who the hell are you! You think that I’m afraid of a spandex wearing son of a-”
*Rip!*
The Green Ranger had just brutally killed the last of Queen Beryl’s monsters. In his hand was the dead monster’s spinal cord with the skull still attached to it before he tossed it to the ground before slowly turning towards Jedite.
The power ranger had blood splattered across his helmet and outfit from the bloody fight.
The Green Ranger stared at him with an eerie silence before he drew is head back and emitted a dragon like roar that made all of the windows on all of the nearby buildings explode into millions of pieces.
“SWEET JESUS! SCREW THIS SHIT! I’M OUT OF HERE!” Jedite screamed in panic before teleporting off.
The power ranger stared were his enemy once stood before growling in anger and punching a giant tree, causing it to emit a serious of loud cracks as it toppled over with a loud crash.
Everyone was silent in fear.
The Green Ranger faced the girls who all tensed up.
“So it looks like I’m not the only one with a secret now am I Usagi?” He asked.
“How do you know who I am?” She asked in shock.
He then pulled his helmet off, revealing himself to the girls.
“You’re not wearing a mask or anything. It’s not exactly rocket science.” He said with a laugh.
“Tommy!” She gasped in surprise.
The other Sailor Scouts began talking to Serena but due to them talking in Japanese he was not able to understand them.
Serena answered them back in Japanese. He didn’t know what she said but it seemed to get the girls to trust him.
The other sailor scouts to his surprise could speak English as well but with heavy accents.
The all introduced each other and were happy for his help despite how brutal he was. But at that moment Tuxedo Mask walked up to the group of teens.
“I don’t trust this guy, he just came out of nowhere. For all we know he could be working for Queen Beryl. Besides, look at how’s he’s dressed, he looks like an idiot.” He said as he narrowed his eyes at Tommy.
“Says the guy who fights in a tuxedo and throws roses at his enemies.” Tommy retorted.
“Oh yeah, well-”
Tuxedo Mask was cut off as the sounds of police sirens could be heard.
“Shit! Everyone make a break for it!” Tommy shouted as he quickly put his helmet back on as they all made a break for it.
Tommy snapped out of his nostalgia. He decided to go back home. On his way back to his house he met up with the girls who on their way to visit him. They all made their way to his home.
The six mares were still very curious about the technology he brought from his world. But most of all they all had become fast friends with him so they wanted to pay him a visit.
As they were gathered around in his house, Tommy showed them his computer.
“What is this?” Twilight asked with curiosity as she looked at the strange piece of technology that was sitting on the table.
“Do you know what a computer is?” Tommy asked.
“Yes, I happen to own the most advanced one on the market. It has 45 kilobytes of memory.” She said with pride.
Tommy chuckled at her answer.
“Does it use punch cards?” He asked.
“Yes, what else would it use?” She asked with confusion.
“Well this is a computer from my world. It has 100 terabytes of memory.” (1)
Twilight's mouth hung open as she tried to process the information given to her.
“H-How?” She asked.
“I guess our technology is just more advanced. Especially in computers.”
“But it’s so small! My computer takes up around half of my basement!” She added.
“Well over the years computers became more compact. We even have portable versions. We use them for research, work, and for entertainment. This one is my gaming computer. Surprisingly enough it’s still able to get the internet for some reason.” Tommy explained wondering how that was possible.
“What’s an ‘Internet’?” Rarity asked.
Tommy explained how the internet was a network of computers and information that was used for anything from information gathering, to shopping, to entertainment, and many other things.
Twilight finally fainted from hearing all of the information at their finger tips…for a second. She jumped back up with excitement.
“Show us!” She said shouted with glee.
“Alright.” Tommy said as he showed them a few things here and their around the internet such as Wikipedia which Twilight loved as well as a shopping website which Rarity absolutely adored. Pinkie pie loved the games and Youtube videos.
Tommy did warn them about their being some ‘inappropriate’ material on the internet.
The girls blushed at the idea of there being so much risqué material in existances.
Tommy decided to show them one of his favorite videos on the internet.
“What else, is there!” Pinkie Pie asked with glee.
Tommy showed them a lot of videos over the course of the next hour.
Fluttershy loved the cat videos. Applejack and Rainbow Dash loved the Epic Fail videos while Rarity loved the Let’s Play videos by Jacksepticeye and Markiplier since she was secretly a gamer, Pinkie Pie and Barbara loved the videos as well. Twilight loved the instructional videos and documentary type videos that were on Youtube.
After they were finished with the videos they went to the living room.
“Hey Tommy, we were wondering if you would like to go on a picnic with us?” Twilight asked.
Tommy smiled.
“Sure, I got nothing to do for the rest of the day.” He answered.
“Yay.” Fluttershy said with a soft smile.
“Wee! Let’s go everypony!” She shouted as they made their way out of his house.
“We’ll be meeting Blade Dancer at the picnic spot.” Rarity explained.
“I don’t mind her coming along, she seems nice enough. But do I really need a bodyguard to protect me?” He asked.
“Yes!” The six mares and the dragoness said in perfect unison.
“You remembered what happened back in Canterlot when you were giving that presentation?” Rarity asked.
“I don’t regret what I did, that guy was really ticking me off.” Tommy said as he thought back to a few days ago back in Canterlot.
“Doctor Oliver, what is the human world’s law enforcement like?” A scientist asked as he sat in the auditorium.
“It really depends on where you live. But it is pretty much the same, they all protect and serve the public and uphold the law.” Professor Oliver explained to the auditorium of scientists and historians.
The young professor was originally a high school teacher, he was a professor but he loved teaching and helping to mold the young minds of tomorrow.
Many more questions were asked to which he answered them all.
The six mares that found him and helped him were all listening to him intently. Rarity was asking him about earth’s fashion which he happily answered her on all of it. Twilight asked him about his world’s science, economy, and history. Fluttershy asked about earth’s animals. Applejack asked about farming techniques that his world had. Rainbow Dash asked about sports and what she called ‘awesome events’. Pinkie Pie asked about how his world partied. He answered every question with a smile.
Things were going very well. That is until a one of the more arrogant nobles decided to open their mouth.
“The technology you have is very impressive. How much do you want for it?” the noble asked as he eyed the technology Tommy brought for his presentation greedily.
The girls had explained that compared to their world, Tommy’s was far more advanced than theirs in a lot of ways. But that didn’t mean they didn’t have any advancements of their own, they had excellent medical treatments due to their magic. They even had cell phones.
“Thanks for the offer but they are not for sell, sir.” Tommy said.
“What do mean they are not for sale?” the noble demanded angrily.
“Just what I said, they are not for sale.” Tommy said politely.
“I could make you a very rich stallion.” The noble said.
“No thanks, got that covered already.” Tommy smirked as he flipped one of his now very valuable quarters in the air before catching it. Celestia warned Tommy about the nobles beforehand and he could tell that this guy wanted to get his hands on his ‘human technology’ as they called it, so he could get more power and make more money from it.
The stallion was getting pissed to the point that he looked like steam was about to come out of his ears.
“You can either give me your technology or I can have it taken from you!” he demanded.
“Yeah, not gonna happen. You see I read up on your how Equestria works and you and everyone ‘noble’ here, are nobles in name only. It’s just an honorary title that is given to those that have a lot of money and have passed it down to their children. Basically you have no power. So stop acting like you do?” Tommy said making some of the other nobles angry while Celestia and Luna giggled.
“I will not let some damn monkey make a fool out of me!” the noble shouted.
“Really? Because it looks like you’re doing a pretty good job of doing that yourself if I’m not mistaken.” The human said with a smirk.
“How dare you, do you know-”
“Honestly I don’t care who or what you could do to me. I hate arrogant people that think they are entitled to everything.” Tommy said as he cut off the noble.
“Besides, I’m a protected species due to me being the only one of my kind. Honestly, that’s more for your protection.” He added.
The stallion was fuming at Tommy waving him off like he was nothing as the man went back to giving his presentation.
The noble saw the Princesses and the Elements of Harmony giving him glares that made him shiver. So he decided to change his approach.
“I have a proposition.” The stallion said.
Tommy sighed at how annoying this guy was.
“Well, how about this. Since money is not an issue with you. My family could help you out by doing favors for you in return for your technology and teachings.” The noble added.
Tommy sighed in annoyance.
“But in addition, I will give you my daughter to be your wife.” He said which caused Tommy to give the stallion a cold glare.
“You would marry off your daughter without her even knowing?” the human asked with venom.
“What would she know, I’m mean that’s what she’s there for. Bisides, she’s just a foal anyways, it’s not like she would even know what’s going on.” He said.
Everyone in the room was disgusted at what the noble was saying. Celestia could not believe that one of her little ponies would even think of such a thing.
But before she could say anything a chair went flying across the room and smash into the stallion’s face, knocking him out as the chair shattered over his head.
Celestia ordered her guards to remove the knocked out noble from the room before she turned to Tommy and said.
“Whoops, looks like the lights went out and nopony was able to see what happened to that pathetic excuse of a noble.” She said with a smirk, letting Tommy know he was getting off scott free.
The nobles were enraged but Celestia silenced them quickly with a glare and reminded them that the title of ‘noble’ is just an honorary title and that they hold no more power than any other ordinary citizen.
“I still couldn’t believe he would give away his own baby away like that.” Fluttershy said in an angry tone that startled the girls.
“I agree darling, that stallion was disgusting to even suggest such a thing.” Rarity said.
As they all got to the picnic area they all set up the blanket and met up with Blade Dancer as she helped them set up the food.
They all sat around and enjoyed each others company as they ate.
Eventually they all began talking about some funny stories about their time together as friends.
“So Twilight goes speeding down the streets of Canterlot wearing nothing but a pair of roller skates and a helmet along with a two pillows strapped to her. She ended up going down the steepest hill in the city. Before hitting a stand of cabbages. Then said cabbages explode in a flurry of smoke and flames. The way Twilight landed face down with her naked butt in the air, all of Canterlot got a good look at her flanks and marehood!” Barbara laughed as all of the girls couldn’t help but roll over laughing.
Tommy laughed as he saw Twilight’s face become red from embarrassment.
“That’s not funny… I had a lot of marriage proposals after that.” Twilight said as she tried to hide her face behind her mane like Fluttershy does.
“Oh, here let me help you.” Fluttershy said as she helped her friend by moving more of her mane in front of her face to which Twilight thanked her.
“A ton of mares and stallions kept coming up to Twilight and saying things like ‘Please be my wife oh mare with the perfect flanks!’” Barbara giggled.
Twilight was blushing even more when she saw Tommy chuckling.
“Oh yeah, what about you? You must have gotten into some pretty embarrassing situations?” Twilight said as she tried to get the attention off of her and her ass.
“Well, there was this one time that I had to run from the cops when I was 14.” Tommy said as he scratched the back of his head.
“You mean you ran from the guards? What for?” Blade Dancer asked. She was curious as to why he would be running from the guards.
Tommy thought for a moment as he rubbed his chin in thought. As he remembered that day.
A car slammed the breaks as a group of teenagers ran across a busy intersection in the middle of downtown Tokyo.
“Sailor Scouts, you know this place much better than I do, what’s the fastest way to get out of here and some place we can hide!”
Sailor Mercury quickly pulled out a hand held computer and began typing on it fast.
“This way!” The shy Sailor Scout shouted as she pointed to an alley.
As they all ran down the alley way they saw a group of police trying to block the way.
Tommy quickly charged the group as they fired Tasers at him only for his power ranger armor to block it and make them useless. He bulldozed through them and ran them over.
The cops were sent flying backwards due to his sheer power and speed.
“Shit! Helicopter!” Tuxedo Mask shouted as he pointed to a news helicopter in the sky with a camera pointed at them. The girls quickly covered their faces with their hands to hide their identities as they ran.
“We’ll use the buildings for cover! Follow me!” The Green Ranger shouted as he ran down another alley way and ducked behind another building.
The girls were amazed that they had the help of an actual power ranger. Truth be told they thought they were just some teens wearing spandex pretending to be some super heroes but they realized how wrong they were.
“This guy is a professional!” Sailor Mars thought as she remembered how he took down all of the monsters Jedite had sent at them like they were nothing.
Just as they were running out of the alley way and onto the street a police car accidentally hit Tommy, the female officer was too shocked even get out as she hit the ranger so hard he went flying over the hood of the car and rolled over the hood over it, shattering the police lights into his stomach and face before hitting the trunk and hitting the ground.
Surprisingly enough he managed to land on his feet in a crouching position as he grabbed his ribs he managed to take off running again.
“OH MY GOD! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!” Serena screamed as she saw her new friend get hit by a car going over 95 mph.
“I’m okay, my power armor protected me.” Tommy said in pain as even though it took the full brunt of the force and protected him, he could still feel that he would have some very bad bruises along his ribs.(2)
“Come on we’re almost home free!” He shouted as they all ran through an old abandoned tunnel when the helicopter lost sight of them.
They waited to see if the police would check the tunnel. But much to their relief, the police just sped by the tunnel not even paying any mind to it at all.
“Is everyone alright?” Tommy asked as they all caught their breaths.
“Yeah, I think so.” Sailor Mercury said as the girls checked each other to make sure they were all right.
“Well if you ladies are alright I guess I’ll take my leave.” Tuxedo Mask said as he ran out of the dark tunnel before anyone could say anything. But as he ran past, he glared at Tommy.
“I think it would be best if we changed back to our civilian clothing.” Tommy said as they all morphed back into their regular clothing.
When Tommy powered down he groaned in pain as he held a hand to his side.
He lifted up his shirt to see that he had a black bruise that was on the left side of his ribs.
“Are you alright.” Serena asked with worry.
“Yeah, I’m alright. Just a bruise. No broken bones thankfully.” He said as he lowered his shirt and sat down for a moment.
“So, is anyone excited and happy about the fact that we ran from the police and got away?” Sailor Mercury asked bewildered.
“HELL YEAH!!!” Everyone answered with huge grins spreading across their faces.
Tommy snapped out of his flash back and looked at Blade Dancer as she and the girls were staring at him intently while waiting for an answer.
“Well, I remember getting hit by a car and still making a run for it. We were just kids messing around is all.” He said nonchalantly.
“You got hit by a car? But from what I read those things are really heavy and go really fast! How are you not crippled?” Twilight asked as she has been reading on human inventions thanks to Tommy lending her some of his books.
“I got lucky I guess.” Tommy shrugged.
“Well I’m just glad you’re alright!” Pinkie Pie said as she hugged Tommy and started nuzzling his face.
“Thanks Pinkie Pie.” Tommy said with a slight blush at how close she was.
The next day Tommy was at his home grading some papers. As he marked a paper with an ‘A+’ he paused for a moment. He had a weird feeling that he was being watched for some reason. He looked around but saw no one there.
He shrugged and decided to just continue on with his work. When he was done with grading the papers he decided to head to bed for the night.
For three hours the two mares who were hiding in the bushes watched to see if the coast was clear. The two mares wore dark grey ski masks and completely covered in dark grey clothing.
The two mares slowly but very carefully opened the window without making a single sound. After sneaking in quietly the turned toward each other.
“Where do you think those coins are?” Cat Burglar asked her partner.
“I don’t know but I think they would be in the most guarded room of the house.” Safe Cracker said as her eyes scanned the dark living room before they searched the room.
As they slowly searched each room throughout the house they saw valuable items that they would normally steal but due to the nature of the job and how valuable the coins were, these things were nothing compared to the pay day that they would be getting from stealing these coins for their employer.
As they were searching the house they eventually found a room with a keypad next to the door.
“Hey, what the heck is that? I’ve never seen security like that before. What do you think it is?” Cat Burglar whispered.
“I don’t know but I’ve never seen anything like it. I think it requires a code of some sort.” Safe Cracker said as she carefully tried to type in a code to see if it would work in opening the door.
The door gave off a low beep at her typing in the wrong code. It made them flinch and quickly look around the room to see if anypony heard them.
When they were sure no one heard them, Safe Cracker tried again. She failed to notice the three green lights above the keypad. One of the three lights was now red.
*BEEP!*
The second green light turned red. Leaving only one green light left.
“The coins must be in there for him to have this thing keeping the door locked she said as she tried to open the door only for it to not even budge.
Safe Cracker tried again. And typed another code into the keypad only to get the same result as before.
All three lights above the keypad were now red and were now flashing.
A loud alarm began to echo throughout the house as the mares covered their ears.
After 30 seconds the blaring of the alarm went off and finally stopped.
Cat Burglar looked at Safe Cracker before speaking.
“You think he heard?” Cat Burglar asked.
“I heard.” A voice said from behind them.
On pure instinct alone the two mares whipped out retractable batons and swung at the source of the voice. One of the batons missed but the other gave a glancing blow to the stallion’s jaw.
Even though it was not a solid hit it and didn’t break anything, it would definitely leave a bruise.
The two mares saw the owner of the home leap back and took a fighting stance.
“What are you doing in my house?” He asked angrily, not even showing any pain to the blow to his face.
“We don’t want to hurt you but we will if we have to.” Safe Cracker said.
“Really, could have fooled me.” He said before spitting the blood that was gathering in his mouth straight into the mare’s eyes.
He quickly leg sweeped her, sending her to the ground. Cat Burglar lunged at the man in front of her and swung at him with her baton. Tommy ducked and weaved before catching her wrist that held the baton and kneed her in the stomach. The mare doubled over before he slammed his elbow into the back of her head.
The strike caused her to fall to the ground only for her to roll into the fall and back onto her feet. Safe Cracker was already up and was striking at him.
He could tell that these two mares were martial artists just by how they were moving and fighting, and they were good. Very good.
Cat Burglar quickly came to the aid of her partner. Tommy was now on the defensive due to his current condition due to his injuries from training with his training crystal.
The two mares were earth ponies which meant they were much stronger than the average pony. A single strike could lay him out and that was not a situation that he wanted to be in.
He slammed a series of rapid punches into Safe Crackers face and stomach only for Cat Burglar to take advantage of the opening and gave him three swift strikes to his stomach. The strike sent Tommy backwards.
She tried to jump onto him only for him to grab her by the shirt and press his foot into her stomach as he rolled backwards. Sending her flying head first into a wall. Sending her into a daze.
Just as Safe Cracker was about to attack Tommy again only for a large German Shepard to leap on top of her bite into her arm.
The dog let out a feral growl as she bit into the mare's arm and yanked it back and forth as she screamed in pain.
Just as Cat Burglar got up and shook her head to get rid of her dizziness she unknowingly stepped into the moonlight.
“It’s time to get serious. You’re going to-” Tommy stopped talking as he saw the mare standing in the moonlight. To any other individual they would have saw a mare dressed in a completely dark gray outfit with a dark gray ski mask.
But that’s not what Tommy saw. He saw one of Lord Zedd’s and Rita’s Putty Patrollers.
“What’s a matter? Scared that you’re-” She was cut off as Tommy closed the distance between them and slammed a series of punches and kicks into her stomach and face. She felt her bones cracking just from the sheer force of the strikes.
She managed to stumble out of the way of a punch coming straight for her face only for his fist to smash straight into the glass window and shatter it. Causing his hand and arm to be cut up and bleeding.
What scared the mare the most was that he was not even reacting to the pain. He slowly turned his head towards her and he had a crazed look in his eyes as he came as he slowly walked towards.
Her partner managed to throw the dog off of her to which she got up and cradle her bleeding arm as the dog ran back to its master’s side and growled at the two burglars.
Unbeknownst to Tommy, Blade Dancer was pounding on the door trying to get in. Seeing the whole thing.
“Shit the guards are here!” Cat Burglar said as she saw two more guards join Blade Dancer in trying to get the door open.
Blade Dancer kept trying to get Tommy’s attention but it was like he was completely out of it and he couldn’t hear her.
He lunged at the mare and smashed his fist into her face and wrestled the baton from her grip just as the other mare came running up behind him trying to knock him out only for him to turn around and give a flurry of strikes with the weapon.
He struck her in the ribs, stomach, and face repeatedly.
Safe Cracker slumped to the ground knocked out, but before he could continue attack, a vase was smashed over his head by the other mare.
The strike managed to knock Tommy out of his flashback induced trance. He shakily got up and saw the mare pulling off her mask frightened and terrified as she had tears streaming down her face as she was propping herself up against a wall for support.
“P-Please… We g-give up… Please don’t k-kill us.” She sobbed.
Saban was next to Tommy whimpering at her master being hurt.
At that moment the door was kicked open by the guards who rushed in.
They quickly apprehended the two mares and quickly took them to the hospital.
As the guards went to help Tommy, Blade Dancer quickly stopped them.
“Wait, he was having a PTSD flash back. Touching him might set him off again.” She said as she slowly walked up to Tommy.
“Tommy? Are you ok? Do you know what’s going on?” She asked with worry.
“Y-Yeah… I think so.” He stated unsure of his own answer.
Blade Dancer looked at him with worry. His face was covered in blood and his hand and arm were bleeding badly. His jaw had a blackish bruise that was forming on it. The left side of his ribs were black and purple from. The only reason why she was able to tell was because he was shirtless at the moment. How he was standing was beyond her.
“Do you know what happened?” She asked as she gently helped him to the couch as a paramedic began to treat his injuries.
“I remember hearing my alarm go off and saw those two mares breaking in. They attacked me and I fought back… They were dressed like some of the monsters that attacked me when I was little… Then I blacked out and… Now I’m here.” He mumbled as it was getting harder for him to talk with his jaw bruised.
“We need to get him to a hospital… He’s showing signs of a concussion and head injury.” The paramedic said as she went off to get a stretcher.
“I don’t need to go to the hospital... I’m fine.” He said.
“You’re going to the hospital and that’s final.” She said not with a stern look or glare. But with a worried look on her face.
As the paramedics returned with the stretcher, Blade Dancer helped him onto the stretcher.
As he was being carried out of his house, Tommy could see the elements of harmony looking at him with worry and concern. A large crowd had gathered outside seeing the town’s new teacher being taken to the hospital. Many of his students saw him being carried out of the house.
Celestia walked down the hospital halls as she headed for Tommy’s room. She had instantly taken a liking to Tommy when they first met. She didn’t know why but something about him just made him come off as an overall nice guy.
She was extremely worried over her new friend.
Instead of sending her a letter like she always did, Twilight instead called Celestia on her cellphone. Despite how many times she told Twilight to call her whenever she wanted so they could just talk over whatever, Twilight only ever called her in emergencies.
Twilight was barely forming words as she frantically explained the situation.
She didn’t know why two mares would break into a lone stallion’s house and hurt him but it made her blood boil. To make matters worse the two mares managed to somehow escape the hospital when the guards weren’t looking despite their injuries.
All they got out of them before they escaped was that they were hired to steal some coins from the ‘human’ they said that they were hired by someone in Ponyville but that was as much as they got. None of the guards could remember their faces or names which means they must have had some enchanted items on them that hid their identities.
But with those wounds it’s going to be tough for them to get far away in a short amount of time. The guards were still looking but she doubted that they would find them.
As she entered the human’s room she saw the Elements of Harmony standing around the human’s room along with Barbara and Blade Dancer.
“How is he?” Celestia asked.
“I’m fine if that’s what you want to know.” Tommy said.
She turned her attention to the human in the hospital bed.
“Tommy, I thought you would be sleeping- MOTHER OF EVERYTHING GOOD AND RIGHT!” She gasped as she saw the bruises all over his face and body. But what got her most was all of the scars on his body.
The medical files said he had scars from prior injuries. But she never knew he had this many on his body.
All Tommy had on were some hospital pants that were given to him along with a necklace that had a coin on it that he absolutely refused to take off.
“Tommy! How did you get all of those scars? Did those two mares due this to you?” She asked.
“Huh, oh no these happened a longs time ago during the monster attacks at Angel Grove.” He said like it was nothing.
“I am pretty certain some of those are sword slashes.” She said only for Tommy to shrug it off.
“Some of those monsters had weapons.” He said.
Celestia composed herself as she looked at the badly injured man who was laying in the bed.
“Tommy, I came as soon as I heard what happened.” She said as she sat on the edge of the bed.
“Didn’t think I would be getting robbed.” He said as he looked around the room.
“I’m sorry that happened to you. My guards are looking for them as we speak.” She said comfortingly.
“They escaped?” Rarity gasped.
“Unfortunately yes they had some enchantments on them to make anyone who saw them forget their identities and their names. So identifying them is going to be very difficult.” He said as they turned their attention back to the man.
“What happened when they broke in?” She asked.
Tommy told her what he could remember while Blade dancer filled in the blanks.
“What made you have a flash back?” Celestia asked only for Tommy to look at her hestiantly before answering.
“...They looked like Putty Patrollers.” He said with a sigh.
“Putty what?” Pinkie Pie asked with a tilt of her head.
“Putty Patrollers… They were basically the foot soldiers for the monsters that were the most common that you would run into. They are fast, strong, but dumb as a sack of hammers when it came to anything besides fighting.” He said.
“You mean the monster attacks were not just some random attacks but a well-organized invasion?” Celestia asked.
“No, it wasn’t. It was a well-organized invasion that was planned by a being who was sealed away on the moon for ten-thousand years.” He said catching Celestia’s attention as it brought back some very bad memories.
“I gave Twilight a book on the whole invasion and the history of it.” Tommy added.
“I just finished it yesterday in fact!” She said with a smile.
“An evil space empress by the name of Rita Repulsa managed to escape from her imprisonment on the moon that was found by two astronauts. Astronauts are basically space explorers who landed on Earth’s moon.” Twilights stated as she went into lecture mode. Everypony in the room were stunned that Tommy’s race was able to go to the stars let alone the moon.
Celestia politely motioned for Twilight to continue.
“When the monsters first attacked the humans had a lot of trouble to even defend themselves. The military barely stood a chance and that was against the weakest forces. But when all hope was lost, a group of super heroes came out of nowhere and fought off the monsters and managed to defeat them time and time again.” Twilight said as she used her magic to make the book appear in her hands and read from it.
“So they defended the world from this evil space empress. What rank do they hold in your countries government and your world’s government for that matter?” Celestia asked as the thought of alien invaders made her fear for her little ponies’ safety.
“They hold no rank within any of the world’s governments.” Tommy answered.
“What? But surely they work for the government or some similar entity?” She asked bewildered at the answer he gave her.
“Actually from what the book says, the Power Rangers helped out everypony and protected any and everypony that they could. The government worked with the power rangers when they first appeared because it was in their best interest in fighting the monsters and aliens that were bent on conquering the planet as that was their only hopes.” Twilight explained before looking back at the book.
“But when the first few waves of monsters were defeated the government wanted the Power Rangers to work for them. They thought that with their powers they could somehow study them and reproduce their powers and use it as a weapon against Rita and her forces before they could launch another attack on the earth.” She explained.
“Did they take the offer?” She asked.
“No.” Tommy answered.
“What?! But that makes no sense! They both had the same goals? Wouldn’t it make more sense to work together?” Celestia answered confused.
“In most cases it would be smart to team up. But in this situation, there were some problems. One, the power that the Power Rangers had was almost impossible to copy, some of the groups that managed to create them broke off into separate groups of their own and even then their powers weren't as strong as the originals, basically they were imitation power rangers. Two, they had no idea who they were. Three, which is the biggest reason of all, the government wanted to use the Power Rangers as nothing more than weapons. They planned on using them as their own personal weapons after Rita and her forces were permanently dealt with.” Tommy explained making Celestia gasp.
The government was trying to take advantage of a bunch of heroes who went out of their way to do the right thing. They were trying to take advantage of their kindness and make them nothing more than puppets.
“The Power Rangers refused their offer knowing what was really planned. They cut off all ties with the government and decided they were better off on their own. Unfortunately the government didn’t like the answer.” He said before taking a pause and taking a deep breath.
“To the public it would seem that the government accepted their answer but in reality they sent elite groups to spy on them and capture them and bring them back against their will. They tried to find personal information on them like who they were.” He said.
“Did they ever find out the Power Rangers’ identities?” Celestia asked.
“No, but they came very close quite a few times. All they managed to find out were a few things like their age range.” He said.
“How old were the Power Rangers?” Celestia asked with curiosity.
“It was believed that they were between the ages of 13 to 15 years old. But for a pony I guess that would be between the ages of 130 to 150 years old. Better yet, imagine them no older than the Cutie Mark Crusaders.” He said as he tried to give them a better idea due to the differences in age.(3)
Everyone in the room gasped.
“You mean they were no older than foals!” Rarity shrieked, imagining the horrifying thoughts of Sweetie Belle and her friends trying to get their cutie marks in something like that.
“But why? Why would they be forced to do such a job?” Celestia asked with a look of sadness on her face.
“They were never forced. Their powers chose them. They were given the choice to back out at any time. They could have quit or refused to even do anything. But they chose to fight for the greater good.” Tommy sighed as he felt even more exhausted with countless memories coming to his mind.(4)
Celestia had tears welling up in her eyes, thinking of all the hardships that the children must have went through. The girls had similar expressions.
“Are you alright?” Tommy asked.
“Yes, I’m alright. Just saddened by the fact that foals had to go through such hard ships.” She said as she regained their composure.
“The main reason why I came here is because I needed to check on you. I’m sorry this happened to you.” Celestia said as she remembered why she came to the hospital in the first place.
“Don’t worry about it.” He said.
“No, we do need to worry about it! This was a very close call! What do you plan on doing the next time if they come after you again?” Rarity said in a very upset tone.
“Next time I’ll make sure to grab my gun when someone breaks in.” He said only to realize that he said the wrong thing at the wrong time.
“We think not! The doctor said you were already hurt badly before those two brutes attacked! Care to explain yourself young stallion?” Luna said as she walked into the room.
“I trained just a little too hard.” Tommy said while feigning an innocent smile.
Luna narrowed her eyes at him, not believing him. But she let it slide.
“Be that as it may, you are still hurt. This is a very serious matter yet you do not take it seriously.” She said clearly upset.
“But I-” Tommy tried to voice his opinion but Luna didn't give him the chance.
“You are a stallion living without a herd all on his own. Not to mention you are only 28 ate years old! Younger than most foals! Then there is the fact that you are an endangered species!” The lunar princess ranted.
“I think what Luna is trying to say is that you should take this matter more seriously. That's why we will be having the guards patrolling around your home more often and watching it so that this does not happen.” Celestia explained, defusing the whole situation.
“I understand.” Tommy said, realizing that it was pointless to argue.
As Celestia went to talk to the doctor, she came back in and stood in front of Tommy with her arms crossed under her massive breasts. Tapping her hoof on the ground as if she were a mother waiting for an explanation from there child.
“What is this that I here that you won't let the staff scan you to check if you are alright?” She said with a look that showed she wasn't happy but she wasn't angry either. Just very concerned.
“They said I had to remove my necklace.” He answered.
“Nothing is going to happen to it.” Rarity said.
“It's not that simple... I've had this thing when I was 14. It's been lost for many years but I managed to find it not too long ago... It means a lot to me.” Tommy said as he grabbed the gold coin that hung from the chain around his neck.
Rarity saw the man roll the coin between his fingers almost as a coping mechanism.
“I'll hold onto it for you.” Rarity said.
Tommy raised an eyebrow at this.
“I make sure I stay right here in front of you the whole time while they scan you so you can see that it is safe. Okay darling?” Rarity said. Tommy wanted to protest but for some reason he couldn't bring himself to. When he looked into her beautiful sapphire blue eyes along with her smile, he felt his resolve fade away.
“Alright.” He said reluctantly as he handed the necklace to her.
True to her word, Rarity stood right in front of him as the doctor used her magic to scan his body.
As the staff performed their examination, Rarity examined the coin that was on the necklace.
It was a beautiful gold coin that had the emblem of a dragon's foot print on it.
“Oooooh! It's so shiny and neat!” Pinkie said as Twilight and the girls all looked at it as well.
“When did you get this Tommy? It's simply gorgeous!” Rarity said as she admired the coin/necklace.
“I got it when I was living in Angel Grove. A little after I first moved there. I gave it to my best friend at some point but something happened which caused it to go missing for years until I found it a few years back.” He explained as the staff finished up.
Rarity handed the necklace back to the man who put it back on.
Tommy wore his power coin out of sentimental value, in reality it was just a relic. It no longer had any power anymore. How he managed to do one last morph when he fought the Armada was still beyond him.
“It looks like your be staying here for a few days for observation.” The doctor said.
“Crap.” He groaned
“Cheer up! We visit you Tommy!” Pinkie said as she hugged the injured man, making sure to be careful and not hurt him.
“Alright Pinkie. I guess that does cheer me up.” Tommy said as Pinkie giggled happily as she nuzzled him. As the girls left for the night they all said there good byes and hugged him accompanied by nuzzles before they left.
Celestia said that she would have her guards and fix his house while he was in the hospital.
Fluttershy said that she would feed and take care of Saban while he was gone.
The room was dark as he tried to relax. The sound of a nurse making her rounds was heard every so often.
“How could I have let myself get the crap kicked out of me like that? It was because I was hurt from training so much a few days ago. I need to train more.” Was what kept going through his mind.
“I can't keep thinking like that. I need to just relax and get some sleep.” he thought.
Across the hall way from him were a group of foals that obviously were supposed to be sleeping and recovering but they managed to sneak into there friends room and had there own make shift mini sleep over.
He could hear there soft giggles as they hid from Nurse Red Heart under the covers.
He couldn't help but smile at their antics as he found his mind wondering back to the sailor scouts. He noticed that his mind had been wondering back to the sailor scouts a lot that day.
Tommy sat around in Serena's room along with the other Sailor Scouts.
The girls were having a sleep over and they invited Tommy to hang out with them for the night.
The young man looked around the room awkwardly. He was alone in a room filled with a bunch of beautiful exotic girls.
“So Tommy, what's it like being a power ranger?” Ray asked as she grabbed a chip from the bowl and popped it into her mouth.
“It's cool I guess. I mean if you like fighting monsters all the time.” He said awkwardly.
“So what other powers do you have?” Amy asked.
“Well, my power armor protects me from weak energy blasts and bullets and most bladed weapons. I have a few energy based attacks. Also, my speed and strength and speed increase greatly.” He said.
“That's amazing! Do you have any other powers?” Serena asked.
“... My Dragon Dagger works as a flute.” Tommy said.
“What do you mean it works as a flute?” Lita asked.
“Just what I said, it's actually my most powerful attack.” He explained.
The girls were all silent for a moment before they all broke out into uncontrollable laughter.
Tommy was getting frustrated by this.
“Like that could do anything.” Mina said between her laughs.
“It's true! I'm not lying!” He protested.
“Suuure you are.” Serena said sarcastically.
“That's it!” Tommy said as he summoned his Dragon Dagger and put it to his lips.
As he played the dagger. A loud series of trumpets could be heard echoing throughout the area.
“...That was nice and all but I don't think it would really proved any-” Amy was interrupted.
The girls all looked out the window and saw a giant mechanical dragon come walking out of the ocean off in the distance.
The girls mouths hung open in shock and terror.
“What is that?!” The girls shouted.
“KIDS! KIDS! WE NEED TO HAUL ASS! MECHA GODZILLA IS OUTSIDE AND HE'S ON STEROIDS!” Serena's mother said as her and Tommy's mother came rushing into the room and lead the kids outside.
As they all stood outside they looked around and saw that the whole neighborhood was outside of their houses as the Dragonzord came closer to the city.
“Tommy, do something!” Ray hissed.
Tommy focused for a moment.
“Dragonzord. There is no danger here. Go back to the sea and rest.” He thought to which the Dragonzord stopped and slowly turned around and went back into the sea.
Around that time Tommy heard a mother talking to her son.
“Tai, is this another one of those things that you found in that place called the digital world?” The mother said with worry in her voice.
“No, this isn't a digimon. That was something I never seen before.” The boy who wore goggles on his forehead that kept his messy brown hair out of his eyes said to his mother in an attempt to calm her down.
“Hey, who's that?” Tommy asked.
“That's Taichi Kamiya, but everyone calls him Tai. Trust me, him and his friends have a very interesting story of what they did last summer.” Serena said with a giggle.(5)
“You know what, I'm tired right now so I'm not even going to ask.” Tommy sighed as he rubbed his eyes.
“How can you just summon that amazing machine with nothing but your dagger like that?” Amy asked.
“At this point, all I can say is this. I have a dagger that doubles as a flute which can summon a giant mechanical dragon that has missiles for fingers. All arguments are pointless because I win in this argument, my power is not stupid.” He said with a smirk spreading across is face now that he beat the girls in their argument.
“Maybe in that argument but not in this one.” Ray said with a mischievous smile spreading across her face.
“Oh yeah and what would that be?” He asked.
“This.” She said as she turned to Tommy's mother and shouted.
“Mrs. Oliver-san! Tommy got hit by a car earlier!” She shouted.
Tommy's mother quickly ran to him and immediately began to panic as she went into mother mode and checked him. She nearly keeled over when she saw the huge black bruise on his side.
“WHAT!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER!” She shouted as she ran to get help.
“This day could not get any more stressful.” He groaned.
At that moment a cat with a golden crescent moon on her forehead came up to Serena.
“Serena, are you alright? What was that thing?” She asked.
“HOLY SHIT! DID THAT CAT JUST FUCKING TALK!!!” Tommy screamed at the top of his lungs. ______________________________________________________________________________
As he lay in bed alone in the now dark room, Tommy absentmindedly ran his fingers over his power coin. Not realizing that his power coin was faintly glowing green in the pitch black room as he fell asleep.
Radlog was watching the little town of Ponyville from a distance as he tapped his finger on his swords hilt.
“Do they know we are here?” Chrysalis asked.
“No.” He said simply.
“This town doesn't have anywhere near as many guards as Canterlot or Manehattan.” He added.
“Any activity from the guards?” Radlog asked one of the changeling spies.
“The only activity to report is that they responded to a burglary. Some stallion got hurt. Nothing to worry about. He's just a nobody.” The female changeling said as she waved it off.
“Are you sure?” He asked as he gave her stare that said he would skin her alive if she were wrong.
“Y-Yes sir! I made sure! He got the crap kicked out of him! He's just some random stallion!” She said quickly.
“Good.” He as he waved her off.
“How long before the attack Queen Chrysalis?” He asked.
“Soon. We just need to get everything prepared and wait for the right time.” She said.
“I can't help but wonder something.” He said.
“What's that?” Chrysalis looked at him.
“Why not just send in some spies to snatch them up when they least suspect it?” He asked as he sharpened his sword.
“Celestia has set up some safety measures that would easily stop me or any of my spies from doing that. The reason why I brought so many changelings with me is so that I can break the ward on this town. You see, if we were to just charge in right now, the wards would activate and send a whole regiment of Equestria's most elite guards lead by Shining Armor himself.” She said as he nodded in understanding.
“So you brought this whole group of changelings so that they could channel their magic into you so that you can slowly take down the ward without anyone knowing, instead of using all of your magic to break it instantly and alerting the whole country while leaving yourself completely drained and a sitting duck. Plus you have the back up to help you if anything goes wrong along with being able to search the entire area faster due to the sheer numbers on your side. Smart.” He said as he ran his sharpening stone along the blade of his sword.
“Y-Yes.” The changeling queen said as she was surprised that he got the plan so easily without her explaining all of the details.
“It seems your mother has trained you well... I have to ask how you came to be? The only naturally born changeling prince?” She asked.
“I was birthed, simple as that.” He said.
“I see...” She said as silence filled the air.
“What about your original hive. What happened to them, I know they starved but what happened exactly?” She asked as Atir never went into to much detail about the matter. Only telling her the bare minimum of what happened and said that the rest was too painful.
“They died from the lack of resources due to them not having enough love.” He said as he checked his swords blade but was not satisfied with it's sharpness before he went back to sharpening it again, the whole time acting as if the entire subject was nothing more than a petty annoyance.
Chrysalis was taken aback by his cold demeanor, he acted as if the death of his whole hive were nothing more than an annoying inconvenience.
She would have said something but quite frankly she felt unnerved by him. The whole time she sensed what felt like a colossal amount of blood-lust radiating off of him. She shrugged it off.
She decided to get back to getting the preparations ready for taking down the ward around the town and the Elements of Harmony. Something was definitely off about him but he had done nothing to warrant any distrust or appear as a threat to her or her hive so she chalked it up to him just having a scary personality.
“Stand guard of the camp Radlog.” She ordered to which he put away his sharpening stone and sheathed his sword and did as he was told with out question.
As she walked off, Radlog glared at her with eyes colder than ice.
“Soon. Once you've outlived your usefulness, I'll finally be able to rip you to shreds.” He thought as an evil smile formed on his face. No one noticing that all of his teeth became razor sharp and pointed.
Hello everypony! I know what you're all thinking and no, I'm not dead. Me and my stories are still very much alive.
I am currently having trouble with gaining access to a computer. My laptop died on me. Luckily all of my progress on my fics and chapters were backed up on flash drives.
Luckily my roommate who is a good friend of mine is an expert on repairing and building computers. He was able to save my hard drive and everything on it... Except the browsing history... which got deleted by mysterious means.
It might take a couple of weeks before I get the new computer but rest assured, I'm going to continue on writing on all of my stories. I'm just in a tight spot right now. So two weeks tops is all you have to deal with...Hopefully... Please don't kill me!
Good news though! I'm practically done with the next chapter for The return of a Legend and A Swordsman's path to Redemption.
I'd say I'm 85% to 95% done on both chapters, the rest of the chapters to my other fics are also mostly done. The next chapter to The Return of a Legend is going to be the moment we've all been waiting for!
I know it's been months since I posted my last chapter on any story and I apologize for that. Life has been hectic with me working and going to college while taking care of my father who is physically disabled. I do apologize for that but like I said before, there will always be more chapters coming no matter what. i just need to make sure my responsibilities are taken care of first.
But expect the next chapter soon. Thank you guys and God Bless.

P.S. What did everyone think of the new power rangers movie?
Tommy was lying in bed in his room at the command center. He looked around the room for moment as he thought about how everything led to this…Ten tons of algebra homework. Why did the principle have to be a total bastard?
But before he could get any further, the command center’s alarm went off.
“Rangers! A monster attack has been sighted towards the desert!” Zordon’s voice boomed.
“I’m the only one here Zordon. Alpha, bring it up on screen.” Tommy ordered as he leapt out of bed, thankful to be away from his homework.
On the giant computer screen a live feed of the nearby desert was shown. Explosions went off left and right. But there was too much smoke. Figures could be seen in the smoke but Tommy could not make out who or what they were.
“Who is that?” He asked.
“I have no idea, but from the looks of it, there is definitely something off. My sensors are not picking up any of Rita’s monsters.” Zordon explained.
“I’m going to check it out.” Tommy said as he pulled on a hooded jacket.
“Please be careful. We don’t know who or what is there.” Zordon advised.
“I understand.” Tommy said as he walked over to the counter and grabbed his Cyber Sword. Or as Billy called it, The Power Sword (1).
It was a collapsible short sword with a 2-foot-long blade. He shoved it into the back of his belt, grabbed his gear, and teleported in a bolt of green lightning.
He appeared on top of a cliff in the middle of the nearby canyon just outside of Angel Grove. The sun was bearing down on him.
Pulling out a pair of binoculars, he used the cliff as a vantage point.
In the distance, he saw where the explosions took place. He saw nothing but craters and foot prints.
Something’s not right. Somebody was definitely here. But the question is, where are they now?
Tommy tied a bandana around his mouth to cover his face and pulled his hood over his head. Hiding his face entirely except for his eyes.
Tommy teleported in a bolt of green lightning down to the craters. His boots crunching the gravel under his feet.
Looking around he found nothing… But something found him.
“Aw, I see one of the power rangers have arrived.”
With inhuman speeds, Tommy drew his sword. The blade flipped out into its ready position. Pointed at the person behind him.
The blade was pointed at a woman dressed in a black suit, her hair was blonde and went down to her shoulders. Her eyes were an icy blue that were wide in not fear but excitement.
“Who are you?” Tommy demanded.
“Someone that is very interested in your future.” She said as two men with assault rifles trained on him came out from behind one of the rock formations.
Before they could even order him to lower his sword, Tommy had closed the distance and sliced their guns in half along with their pistols strapped to their thighs.
“I’m not going to ask again. Who are you!” Tommy demanded.
“I’m agent Smith of the CIA.” She said calmly.
“It seems that fancy battle armor of yours isn’t the only power you have. No human can move that fast.” She analyzed.
“What makes you think I’m a power ranger?” he said as he kept his blade ready just in case the two men tried to lunge at him.
“You appeared out in the middle of an area where the was a possible monster attack as a bolt of green lightning. Then you moved at lightning fast speeds and sliced two of my agent’s guns in half.” She said in a matter of fact tone.
“What do you want?”
“The government has been very interested in you and your friends. You are the only ones that have been able to successfully fight back the monsters effectively.” She stated seriously.
Tommy didn’t say anything for a moment. He needed to tread carefully.
“You’ve been after us for a while now. I don’t like being tricked. None of us do.” He said.
“I’m sorry, but faking a monster attack was the only way that we could get in contact with you.” She said.
“I’m going to be honest. Your abilities have given us an edge against these alien invaders. And I can tell just by looking at that thing that, that is no normal sword. It’s obvious you possess some very advanced technology and weapons.” Agent Smith added.
“We actually know what we’re fighting.” He said taking a relaxed stance. By no means was he letting his guard down. He found that he could move and react better if he stayed relaxed and ready.
“Exactly! You know a lot about the enemy. We can only react after an attack happens but you manage to know where they are most likely to strike, meaning you have learned about their strategies and habits.” She said.
“What are you proposing?” He asked.
“We team up. Together we could take down these things and protect the world.” She said with a smile that seemed empty.
“How do I know you won’t try something? A minute ago, you were all excited and talking about my powers. For all I know you just want to capture me and the other rangers and make us into some experiments or weapons.” He scoffed.
“We’re willing to compensate you and your friends.” She said as one of the men handed over a suitcase to agent Smith.
“Here. A sign of good faith.” She said as she held it out to him.
“What’s in the briefcase?” He asked, expecting a trap.
She flicked the latches on it, opening it up to show that it was filled with money.
Tommy had to admit, he had never seen so much money in his life. But he knew it was a trap.
“See, just a little gift. So, what do you say?” She said with a smirk as she closed the suit case. Knowing she caught his interest.
Tommy didn’t trust this woman at all. But he had to be careful, for all he knew she had a sniper with a set of cross hairs trained on his skull. For all he knew the money was rigged with a tracking device.
He tossed the briefcase onto the ground in front of her. Surprising the agent.
“W-Was there not enough?” She asked surprised.
“We’re not mercenaries.” He said with anger.
“I see…” She said clearly not happy.
“We just want you to attend a meeting to talk with our higher ups. All you have to do is show up. If it makes you feel any better it will be on national television in front of everyone, so you don’t need to worry about us trying anything.” She sighed.
“… I’ll talk to the others.” He said before walking off.
“Meet us at the City Hall in one week at 8 PM.” She said to which he nodded before teleporting in a bolt of lightning.
Tommy told the team about Agent Smith and her offer. Zordon knew that the agents had ulterior motives. But he knew that they would need to go to this so-called meeting. He made sure to inform them to be careful as anything could happen, even if they were going to be on live television.
When the time had finally come for the meeting. Camera crews were set up in front of the city hall, waiting for the power rangers to appear. There were reporters being held back by police as the public waited with baited breath to see what would happen.
Military and government officials waited outside of the City Hall of Angel Grove waiting for their ‘guests of honor’ to arrive.
Then out of nowhere, appearing in six bolts of lightning were the power rangers. The crowd went wild as they saw their heroes appear in front of them in flashes of multicolored lightning.
Reporters were shouting for in an attempt to get the rangers attention for a comment.
A young blonde woman that was dressed in a white dress shirt and a black business skirt ran up to the rangers. From the looks of it she was most likely one of the government officials’ personal secretaries.
The woman quickly gestured for them to follow them her as they made their way up the city hall steps.
The crowd quickly quieted down as they came to a podium where a man with greying hair. He looked to be in his mid to late 50’s and he were a standard Army BDU’s. The man’s rank showed that he was a General in the US Army.
Standing next to him was Agent Smith.
The rangers stood to the side as the mayor came up to the podium and made a long-winded speech about how humanity was standing strong against the alien invasion and winning as they pushed back the invasion. As well as to vote for him during the next election.
“Dear God, does this guy ever shut up!” Jason shouted inside of his helmet. Only the other rangers could hear him thanks to the special radio in it that allowed them to talk to each other without anyone else hearing them. It could read there thought patterns and tell when they wanted the conversation to be private or when they wanted others to hear them.
“How long has he been talking. It feels like it’s been hours!” Trini whined. Still not feeling well after just getting out of the hospital. She was dead tired and could still feel the effects of the injury Goldar inflicted upon her.
“It’s only been 10 minutes.” Tommy sighed.
The mayor wrapped up his speech and the rangers were led inside the building.
“I thought this was going to be on live television.” Tommy said to Agent Smith as she led them to a meeting room with the general walking behind them.
“I did, which you saw was true outside. But you can’t expect us to have matters of national security being discussed out in the open and on camera no less.” She said with a smile that pissed Tommy off. Luckily the rangers expected this.
They approached a set of double doors to which two soldiers armed with assault rifles standing guard, opened for them.
Upon entering the conference room, they saw a man and a woman sitting at the table. Both wearing business suits before being joined by the general at the table.
“Please, have a seat power rangers.” The general said to which the rangers did silently.
“Care for anything to drink? Perhaps some soda or whisky if that’s more your thing?” Agent Smith asked as she entered the room.
“No thanks. Too young for that stuff.” Trini yawned. Only to quickly realize what she just said.
All eyes focused on them. Tommy wanted to face palm. This was the first time any of them had been in this situation. Mistakes were bound to be made. But not like this.
“So, you’re a teenager. Very interesting as well as concerning.” The general said.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I am General Thomas C. Spears of the United States Army.” General Spears introduced himself.
“I’m Agent Cecilia Johnson of the NSA.” The woman in the suit said.
“I’m Agent Michael D. Wolf of the FBI.” The man in the suit explained.
“And I’m Agent Smith of the CIA but your leader already knows that.” Smith said a smile that didn’t seem right.
“With introductions, out of the way. Let’s get to why we have called you all here.” General Spears said.
“We have been battling these aliens for quite some time. I will not lie. We have been struggling just to hold our own.” He continued.
“Imagine our surprise when you all came along in bolts of lightning and began tearing apart the monsters as if they were nothing.”
The rangers eyed the man as he paused for a moment before continuing.
“You have turned the tide of battle in this war. Every time those things attack, you’re there. But what surprised me the most was the fact that you were all fighting these things before they ever made their presence known to the world. Any particular reason for that?” The soldier asked.
“We have been fighting for the last two years. We tried to inform the government but they didn’t exactly believe any of the messages we were sending. It was only last year when the government realized the threat when we couldn’t contain the battle, resulting in the world finding out.” The blue ranger explained.
“Yes… It is kind of hard to cover up a giant robot battle.” He sighed.
“Let’s cut the crap and get to the reason why you really wanted to talk to us.” Jason said.
“Very well. We want you to work with us. With your technology and powers along with our resources and numbers we could win this war.” He said.
“That’s nice and all but what’s the catch?” Tommy asked.
“You have technology and powers that we need to win this war.” Agent Wolf said.
“We’ve seen your exploits. You all have been fighting and winning. You know where and when these things are going to strike. You know their chain of command. You know way more than we do.” Agent Johnson explained.
“The one who is leading them is called Rita Repulsa, she’s the brains behind the whole invasion.” Tommy began to explain. He didn’t trust them but they needed the information if they were going to be able to have a chance against Rita.
“What can you tell us about her?” General Spears asked as Agent Johnson began to take notes.
For the next hour, the rangers gave all the information that they had on Rita and her forces as well as any information on her second in command, Goldar.
“This is what she looks like.” Billy said as he touched a button on the wrist of his power armor. Making a hologram of Rita pop up along with Goldar.
Everyone’s eye widened at the site of the technology.
“Thank you, now onto our next order of business. Your technology. Going by what the yellow ranger said earlier and by Agent Smith’s assumption about you. I’m guessing you’re all teenagers.” The NSA agent said.
“Maybe we are. Maybe we aren’t.” Tommy said.
“We don’t like the idea of teens running around the with super natural powers as you can see. We have reached a point where you have pushed back the enemy. We have time to plan and get ready. The question is, what happens when the fighting starts again. What if they attack someplace other than Angel Grove? You can’t be in two places at once.” Spears explained.
The rangers knew he was right. Rita and her forces were only attacking Angel Grove. How long would it be before she started attacking other cities and countries.
Zordon had talked with the teens before the meeting and gave them a list of technology that they could give to the governments in order to fight off Rita and her forces.
“You make a valid point General. That is why we brought some of the technology we’ve confiscated from Rita and her forces.” Tommy said as he pressed a button on his glove.
In a flash of light a bunch of futuristic technology unlike anything the General and Agents had ever seen before appeared on the table.
Billy teleported a bunch of blue prints that he had on the tech after taking it apart and examining it.
“This should tell you everything about it and how to recreate it.” Billy explained before a group of soldiers walked in and gathered up the tech before exiting the room.
“Now the main reason why you are all here. We don’t like the idea of a bunch of super powered teens running around unsupervised.” Spears said.
“What’s that supposed to mean.” Zack said not liking where the conversation was going.
“Despite you’re help and cooperation with us. You are all unknowns. For all we know you could go rogue.” Agent Johnson said.
“You’re all teenagers with powers beyond belief. Not to mention you command giant mechanized beast that could level an entire city.” Agent Wolf said with an upset look.
None of the teens liked this. This was going bad and quick.
“For us to work together, we need to know who we are working with.” General Spears stated.
“We are not revealing our identities.” Kimberly stated. The helmet masking her voice.
“If we were planning on going rogue why would we be helping you through all of this shit that’s been happening.” Tommy growled, his anger rising.
“You would be compensated for your service. You would just be working for us.” Agent Wolf added.
Tommy noticed the how he said ‘for us’.
“It’s not about the money. You want to us to work for your as your own personal weapons.” Tommy retorted.
“What are you talking about?” Agent Smith said convincingly.
“Don’t bullshit us. We took a look into your data bases and found why you want us to ‘work together’.” Tommy said, thankful for Billy’s hacking skills.
“We know your intentions behind this meeting. You decided to take advantage of the temporary retreat of the monsters thinking you get a hold of us.” He said to the now furious General.
“Then why did you come here if you knew.” The General seethed.
“Simple, to protect the world we needed to give you the means to fight the aliens. That’s why we gave you the technology.” Tommy said before they all teleported out of the building.
“How did they hack our systems?” Agent Smith asked.
“I don’t know but they don’t seem to know about the project.” The General said.
“Once the project is finished we won’t need the power rangers. But until then, we’ll just have to leave them be, all we can do is observe them... For now.” He added.
It had been a week since Tommy got out of the hospital. The second he got out he went straight to training. He was angry. Very angry.
All that could be heard was the whirling of the bo staff that he was swinging at blinding speeds as he trained.
All of his friends were worried about him. Many tried getting him to talk about the attack but after that night he didn’t say anything more about it.
“I need to get strong like I use to be.” Was all that he was thinking.
Saban just watched as she saw the man training as she lay on the ground simply watching him.
“This isn’t getting me anywhere.” He thought as he stopped for a moment.
“I have to change up my routine.” He thought as he put he set the staff aside.
“There has to be something that can get me stronger. But I don’t have my powers.” He sighed.
Tommy turned towards Saban and looked at the dog as she wagged her tail happily.
“Come on girl, let’s go for a run.” He said to which the dog barked happily.
Tommy walked out the door with Saban following close behind him.
The man went out of his house and started jogging on the dirt path to that ran through the town as he felt memories of his memories of his prime come back to him.
Saban ran right alongside him the whole time as he jogged five miles until he went out of Ponyville and came to a clearing in the middle of White Tail woods. It was a peaceful place that looked like it was perfect for training in seclusion. But he looked at the time and realized that it was later than he expected. He had talked to twilight about helping Equestria to advance some of its knowledge and technology.
He jogged back with Saban running beside him as he made his way home.
Tommy walked through the door to his house as he saw his friends all waiting for him.
“Your back.” Twilight said with a smile. But that quickly turned into a look of concern.
“Hey there girls. Nice to see you again.” Tommy smiled in an attempt to quell her concern. They were all concerned about him after the break in.
“Tommy dear? Are you alright?” Rarity asked with worry.
“I’m fine.” He said with a smile. Trying to reassure her as he walked over to his computer.
“So, Twilight, you said that you wanted me to help Equestria improve its technology and science.” He said.
“Yes! Princess Celestia was hoping that you would help us with developing more advanced technology by studying some of earths technology. With your permission of course!” She said excitedly.
“Well, I thought about it for a bit. I guess I could let you examine a few things here and there. Believe it or not, I have a few extra computers around just in case this one breaks. I can give you one to examine and reverse engineer. In fact, I think I have the blue prints on my computer.” He said as he started typing on his computer.
“Along with the regular computers. I have a special blueprint for some other models of computers. In fact, I think I have the perfect model for a super computer in mind as well.” He smirked, knowing that it would get Twilight’s attention.
“WHAT! THIS ISN’T A SUPER COMPUTER?!” She shouted.
“Nope. Not by any means. The one I have in mind is a tone down version of one I found in Paris, France. I was teaching at the Kadic Academy while I was teaching abroad for a few years in Paris.” He smirked as he felt a sense of nostalgia sweep over him.
“Vous avez été pour Prance?! (You’ve been to prance?!)” Rarity asked excitedly in French.
“En effet, j’ai ma dame. (Indeed, I have my lady.)” He chuckled with a happy smile.
“A knight, cute, good natured, and cultured. He’s the whole package.” Rarity thought dreamily.
“What was the academy like?” Twilight asked.
“It was a boarding school for both junior high and high school students. It’s pretty prestigious actually. They even have a college/university for the students to go to on the campus once they graduate. In fact, a group of my students who I taught during my days there still stay in contact with me. They are currently attending college there.” He explained.
“That’s amazing! But I’m confused though by what you meant by a ‘boarding school.’” She said.
“It means that most of the students as well as teachers live there while attending and teaching classes. They live in dorms. They can choose to live alone or have a roommate. But inspections are done to make sure that the students are keeping their rooms clean and tidy.” He answered.
“Wow. Most ponies don’t do that until they reach college. But you said they are junior high students? How do they put up with not being able to see their families at that young of an age?” The lavender unicorn asked. When she went to live with the princess in the castle as her student it was extremely hard for to be away from her family, even though her family lived just a few blocks away.
By nature, ponies were very social creatures. They couldn’t stand to be alone for prolonged periods of time. In fact, the worst thing that could be done to a pony is to put them in solitary confinement. Most considered it a fate worse than death. In fact, Celestia and Luna banned it as form of punish when they founded Equestria.
That’s one of the reasons why Chrysalis is considered so cruel, she tossed Cadence down into catacombs of Canterlot all by herself for days, knowing full well the affects it would have on her. It lead to Cadence being unable to be by herself for more than a few minutes at a time.
“The parents of the students are often CEO’s and Executives that have to work overseas and in faraway countries. We make sure the kids stay in contact with their families. We have counselor’s and school doctors as well as school psychiatrists. The kids also have their friends to talk to should they ever get lonely.” He explained.
“Oh, well that’s good.” She smiled.
“But sometimes that’s not always enough.” He added.
“What do you mean?” Rarity asked.
“I had a student by the name of Yumi Ishiyama who had some problems at home. She was one of the students who lived outside of the school.”
“What kind of problems?” Fluttershy asked.
“Her parents had a very shaky marriage. They would have the occasional fight here and there but it got to the point where they would argue all the time. Screaming at each other. Things like that. It never got physical.”
“What did she do?” Pinkie asked with a sad face.
“She would often take her baby brother out of the house and go to the park or something so they could get away from it. The two were always very close. But unfortunately, it got so bad that she decided to move into the dorms with her best friend.” He said as they listened intently.
“Things seemed to get a little better for her over the coming months but she was still very depressed. Her parents asked her to comeback. She thought that they had finally worked things out but she was wrong.” He said.
“What happened?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“I heard a loud banging on my door that night. When I opened the door, her friends Ulric and Odd were screaming that Yumi was trying to kill herself by jumping off of the school roof.” He said, making the girls gasp.
“Her friend Aelita was on the roof trying to talk her down. When I got there Aelita managed to get just close enough to pull Yumi away from the roof’s edge. The poor girl just broke down sobbing in her friend’s arms.” Tommy explained sadly.
“What? How old was she?” Twilight gasped.
“Fifteen. I know that’s infant years for ponies but for us humans that’s slightly older than the Cutie Mark Crusaders.” He answered.
They all gasped as they couldn’t believe a child so young would want to end her own life.
“What happened to her?” Fluttershy asked with worry.
“As a teacher, I had to report the incident. She was taken to a psyche ward where she got the help she needed. Her parents went ballistic when I called them. The whole incident was actually the wakeup call they needed. They actually patched things ups and things are going well for them in their marriage.” He said as he typed away on his computer.
“She got better and her parents patched things up? That’s great.” Twilight said hopefully.
“She did get better, she got a lot of help from her friends. But unfortunately for her parents, Yumi distanced herself from them. She loves them but their relation is not what it used to be.” He said.
“Oh.” The girls said as their ears pressed against their heads.
“But her life has gotten a lot better. She’s 21 now and is in college and her and her best friend Ulrich are romantically together. In fact, she is a world-famous author with an ongoing book series that people can’t seem to get enough of.” He said with a smile.
“Really? What’s the series called?” Twilight asked hoping Tommy had the books on hand.
He walked over to the bookshelf and pulled the first volume off the shelf and handed it to her.
“It’s called Code Lyoko.” He said. What he didn’t tell her was that the whole book series was based on the kids’ life on how they find a super computer and fought a deadly Artificial Intelligence/Virus by the name of X.A.N.A. or how their best friend Ailita was trapped in Lyoko until they could get her out. Or how he accidently stumbled upon it and went into lyoko himself once.
“Oooh, that’s so smart of her! Yumi made a book series based on her and her friends lives as superheroes! All the while no pony knows that everything in the book happened for real! You must be so proud of them!” Pinkie Pie giggled innocently.
Tommy’s jaw dropped.
WHAT THE FUCK! HOW DOES SHE KNOW THAT!!! OH SHIT, THE GIRLS ARE LOOKING AT ME, EXPECTING ANSWERS! WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO!!!
“What is she talking about Tommy?” Twilight asked.
“Are you telling me she used to be a super hero?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“What did she mean by 'she wrote a book based on her being a super hero'?” Rarity asked.
“Were they safe?” Fluttershy asked with worry.
“How in the hell is that book related to her life?” Applejack asked.
“…I’m guessing there is no way to get out of an explanation, is there?” Tommy asked.
“Nope!” Pinkie giggled.
“I too would like an explanation as well.” The voice of Celestia said from behind the man, making him turn around.
“And yes, I heard the whole conversation.” Celestia gave a motherly smile.
“Why are you here?” he asked.
“To make sure that you are well after your incident.” She said.
“I assure you that I’m fine.” He said with a shrug but Celestia and the girls didn’t look convinced.
“Well, why don’t you tell us about your super hero students.” She said.
Tommy sighed before speaking.
“The book that Twilight has in her hands is one of the spare copies that I have of the Code Lyoko series. Basically, everything that happened in the book happened in real life to them. She changed their names for ‘reasons’ as to hide who they are just in case.” He said.
“How did you find out that they were fighting this X.A.N.A.?” Celestia asked.
Jeremy yawned as he sat in the back of the class. Normally he would happily be paying attention to his class. He was the typical nerd, yes. But he was dealing with an entirely new problem.
Ailita was smiling happily as she swung her legs back and forth like a carefree child as she sat at her desk.
The pink haired girl saw him staring at her and flashed a smile towards him as she looked at him dreamily.
Jeremy and Ailita had just starting going out three months ago. She found him writing in his journal just typing away on his laptop. He stepped out to go to the bathroom but accidently left the laptop open.
Ailita walked into his room looking for him but found the open page of his computer journal. The page in particular that it was on was how he loved Ailita with all his heart and what he truly thought of her.
When he stepped back into the room he saw the pink haired girl crying tears as she held her hands to her mouth.
He immediately realized what she was reading and tried to think up an explanation.
But before he could say anything, she tackled him in a hug.
Since then they have been going out ever since. He was truly happy.
But, he ran into a very unexpected problem.
Ailita had been stuck in Lyoko for over ten years. It had been a few years since they found the super computer and Ailita. Physically she was 15. In actuality she was probably around 25.
The problem was something that never occurred to them. When Ailita was put into lyoko, she was just starting puberty at the time. She was stuck in that state for over ten years. This would have led to a massive buildup of hormonal levels.
In lame man’s terms. She was one very pent up girl.
It all started when he came back from class one day and the students had the upcoming week off due to the holidays. It was the weekend and Jeremy was looking forward to spending some time with Ailita.
The young girl was waiting for him in his room. But unfortunately, he had some homework to do. But Ailita was acting very antsy. He was worried at first that it was a Xana attack but she assured him that it was not.
He felt bad though, as of late he had been on his computer a lot trying to search for any signs of activity from XANA. Ailita was probably feeling ignored. So, he decided that he would spend the week with her. Little did he know that she had the same idea.
Jeremy was walking back to his room, as he opened the door he found Ailita in his room sitting on his bed.
“Jeremy!” She smiled as she ran over to him and brought him into a tight hug as she threw her arms around his neck.
“Woah!” He said as he stumbled back but regained his balance.
“Were have you been!” She asked with urgency.
“I just finished class. In fact, I came up with a few ways to hopefully stop XANA from attacking, at least for a little while. All I have to do is type up a program on my computer.” He answered.
“You’ve been saying that for the entire semester. You’re always typing away on that computer. I’ve been feeling very lonely lately.” She said making her lip quiver cutely at the last part. Just like Yumi had taught her.
Jeremy blushed as her face was mere inches from his before giving him a peck on the lips.
Ailita is really affectionate today.
“B-But I need to w-work on the-” He tried to ask but was cut off by the girl.
“Is your computer and all the data on it backed up?” She asked sweetly.
“…Yeah, why?” He answered in confusion.
“No reason, oh I think I left my purse in the cafeteria. Could you go get it for me?” She asked with puppy dog eyes that he could not resist.
“Sure.” He said with a smile before he went off to get it.
He searched the whole cafeteria for the pink haired girls purse but could not find it. After thirty minutes, he gave up and went back to his room.
When he walked through the door his jaw dropped at the sight of a pink chain saw and an axe lodged into his computer and desktop tower. The door slammed shut behind him and he could hear the sound of a key and lock clicking. Locking him in.
He turned around to see Ailita looking at him with a hungry gaze. She took the key and dropped it down her shirt and into her bra.
“A-Alita, what are you doing?” Jeremy asked feeling nervous.
“Just making sure that there are no distractions… and that you can’t get away.” She says as she wraps her arms around his neck in a hug.
“A-Ailita are you feeling okay?”
“Of course, Jeremy. I just want to pay you back for everything you’ve done for me. Saving me from XANA, bringing me into the real world, and forging those government documents so I could come to school with you.” She answered with a big smile.
The young man looked around the room in nervousness. He managed to get out of her grip and make a run for the door. In his fear induced state, the adrenaline in his veins allowed him to force the door open.
He ran out of the room only to be tackled to the ground. The pink haired teen was grabbing his legs, stopping him from running or getting up as she tried to drag him back in.
“This is going to happen one way or another Jeremy!” She said in a deadly tone.
“What’s going on here?” Odd asked as he and Ulrich see their friend desperately trying to crawl away and quickly grab his arms and began a tug of war.
“Ailita’s lost it!” Jeremy cries.
“You’re mine!” She shouts.
“What the hell is going on with her?” Ulrich shouts as he tries to pull him free.
“I’m horny as hell and he’s the only one that can scratch that itch for me!” She shouted in almost demonic rage.
“Wait a minute! You mean to tell me… That she wants to fuck you and you are running away from her?” Odd asked in confusion to which his friend nodded.
Ulrich, faced palmed.
“Jeremy! You literally brought your waifu out of a computer and into the real world! Your living every guys dream! So, man up and take me fast and hard!” Ailita demanded.
“Guys! Help me! I don’t know what to do!” Jeremy begged.
“Jeremy! Jeremy! Listen to me man! We’re your friends and we know what to do! You just need to listen to me!” Odd said reassuringly. Ailita growled in rage as she continued the tug of war.
“Ok, what do I do?” Jeremy asked only for Odd to loosen his grip a little.
“…You need to let go man.” Odd said as Ulrich loosened his grip as well.
“What are you doing!” He screamed as they let him go and he was dragged into the room by an insanely laughing Ailita.
They didn’t see him for the entire vacation. Thankfully, most of the staff was on vacation as well.
Damn, I love Ailita. But she is a freak in bed…But I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy it either.
Jeremy felt his eyes close. They burned slightly at the relief from keeping them open for so long.
Maybe no one will notice if I just close my eyes for a few seconds.
Jeremy was now drifting into a state that was between sleep and consciousness.
“Psst. Jeremy.”
Jeremy stirred slightly but did not wake.
“Pssst.”
His eyes slowly opened and he saw his teacher Mr. Oliver standing in front of him.
“Trying to find the answer to the problem on the board on the inside of your eyelids? I used to do that too. Never works.” Tommy said with a smirk.
Jeremy gulped in fear.
“I was just-”
“You’ve been staying up having late night study sessions again. I appreciate your dedication but you must take care of your health first.” Tommy said with a smile.
Jeremy immediately calmed down. Breathing a sigh of relief as the teacher returned to his lecture on the lesson.
Tommy’s back was turned to the class.
Before he could continue his lecture the bell rang signaling the end of the class.
“Home work is pages 365 thru 367.” Tommy said as the students made their way out of the classroom.
Jeremy grabbed his stuff but all of sudden his cell phone vibrated, with a text message.
XANA ATTACK! HURRY!
Jeremy quickly hurried off as fast as he could.
Tommy saw the boy run off.
That’s the 5th time this week that he’s run off. Every time Jeremy and his friends run off time seems to go back somewhere between 24 to 48 hours. The question is, what are they fighting this time? Also, every time something happens there is a bright flash of light and nobody seems to remember what the heck happened. In fact, when I look at the calender on my phone. It went back a couple days. When I checked the date, it was accurate too.
Tommy was lost in thought.
Every time these events happened the kids would always run off to the old abandoned factory at the far edge of town.
Last time this happened, I could have sworn I saw the kids fighting some vines that came to life. I better make sure that they are safe.
*Elsewhere*
Jeremy and the others were running to the abandoned factory.
“What is XANA doing this time?” He asked.
“XANA’s possessed someone!” Odd panted as they entered the factory.
“That’s it. That’s not too bad.” Ailita said hopeful that this attack will be resolved quickly.
“He possessed a serial killer and he’s coming after us!” Odd shouted in panic.
“WHAT!!!”
“Oh fuck! We are so fucked!” Yumi said with panic creeping into her voice.
“XANA must really want to kill us this time.” Ailita said.
“Really? I couldn’t tell all the others times he’s tried to murder us!” Ulrich said with sarcasm.
“Guys, I think we got more important matters than arguing!” Ailita shouted as she pointed in front of her.
Standing in front of them was a man wearing a prison outfit and with a bloody knife in his hand. Splatters of blood were all over his outfit.
“This is bad.” Jeremy said as he tried to stay calm as the serial killer was blocking the entrance to the factory.
The man walked towards the kids with an evil smirk as he held his knife at the ready.
“Get away from those kids right now!” Someone shouted from behind them.
The kids saw their teacher step in front of them with a look of anger.
The man with the knife opened his mouth to say something but it just came out like static. His eyes had weird symbols where his pupils should be.
“Mr. Oliver what are you doing here?” Yumi asked.
“Just making sure you kids don’t get yourselves killed. I mean what was up with those attacking vines last week?” Tommy asked.
“You remember that?! But we returned to the past!” Odd shouted.
“ODD!!!” The teens glared at their friend.
“Heh, heh… Whoops.” He said with a nervous smile.
“Everyone. We can talk later about this but I’m guessing you all go through this quite a bit.” He said as he took a fighting stance.
“You need to do whatever it is you do so you can stop this XANA thing you all keep talking about in my class when you think I can’t hear you.” He said as all the teens jaws dropped.
The teens snapped out of their shock and surprise when they saw the two circling each other.
The serial killer charged at the man only for him to do something completely unexpected.
Tommy pulled out a Taser and shot the possessed murder.
The killer screamed at the top of his lungs before hitting the ground.
Tommy pulled the trigger again making another jolt go through the man again making him scream again. This was done seven more times.
The kids just stood there slacked jawed, staring at their teacher.
“What? I’m not going up against a serial killer unarmed. That’s just stupid.” He said as he tied the unconscious criminal to a light post.
“Okay. You kids are obviously saving the world regularly. So, what’s the plan?” He asked.
“H-How do you know that? Are you with the government?” Ailita asked with fear in her eyes.
“No. Just a guy who has an interesting past.” He said.
“We have to get to the super computer! Come on!” Jeremy said as they ran into the factory and made his way into the computer room. While his friends ran to the virtualization chambers.
“What is going on here? There’s no use in hiding it. I still remember everything that happened even after you did your time reversal thingy.” Tommy asked, making Jeremy sigh.
“To put it simply. We are fighting an AI known as XANA which wants to destroy the world as we know it. It can possess living organisms as well as some objects.” The teen explained.
“How do you fight this thing then?”
“By sending Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, and Ailita into the virtual world called Lyoko.” The boy said as he turned to the computer and began typing.
Jeremy sent the group of kids into Lyoko.
“Seems simple enough to me.” Tommy said as he looked over the boy’s shoulder.
“Can you send me into Lyoko?” He asked.
“What!? That would take a week or more to type up a program to put you in there. Do you even know what it would take to put you in there? I would have to link you up to the grid of Lyoko! I’m stressed out as it is that we have a serial killer after us, but I just found out that XANA is trying to gain control of some secret underground nuclear reactor that has no business being under the city. And to top it all off you know about our secret and will not forget it because for all I know you are with the government!” Jeremy shouted.
“You done?” Tommy asked.
“Y-Yeah.” Jeremy gasped.
“Will this help?” Tommy held up his old white ranger power coin.
“What the hell is that suppose to-”
Jeremy was cut off as the super computer automatically scanned the coin on its own.
DATA UPLOADING. NEW LYOKO WARRIOR DATA UPLOAD COMPLETED. The super computer announced in an automated voice.
“On second thought. I’m just going to shut up. Head down to the scanners.” Jeremy said as Tommy took the elevator down the scanners.
“Scanning Tommy! Virtualization!” Jeremy shouted as he hit the enter key
Tommy could only see white as his vision slowly came back as he found himself in a forest like environment.
He looked at himself and saw that he was in an altered version of his white ranger armor. It looked more Cybernetic than usual but at the same time very much the same.
“Aw yeah, the white ranger is back bitches!” Tommy smirked as he ran to where the kids were.
He saw them fighting a cube with tiny insect like legs underneath it. It fired a laser from the XANA symbol on its eye, at Odd who flipped out of the way at the last second.
Yumi threw her fan at it, slicing it in half. The creature shattered into data.
Ailita and Ulrich were fighting another block creature. One of the lasers hit Ailita square in the chest. Sending her flying backwards.
Ulrich charged forward and stabbed it in the eye, killing it.
At that moment ten more of the block creatures came out of the forest and started firing at the kids.
“Make sure Ailita gets to the tower safely!” Jeremy’s voice echoed in Tommy’s mind.
“Got it!” Tommy shouted as he ran at the creatures that all focused their fire on Ailita.
The pink haired elf girl screamed in terror thinking her life was over only for Tommy to dash in front of her and block all of the laser blasts with his sword.
His sword was a blur as he blocked the incoming shots.
His movements were a blur as he charged forward and sliced the evil computer programs into oblivion with no effort at all.
The kids stared wide eyed at what the scene.
“Don’t just stand there! Focus on the task at hand!”
“Mr. Oliver! How are you in Lyoko!” Yumi asked.
“Not important guys. Xana is about to blow up a secret nuclear power plant under the city!” Jeremy’s voice echoed in the kids minds. (2)
The kids snapped out of it and charged the tower. With their teacher, there they made it to the tower in under a minute as he slaughtered all enemies in his way as if they were nothing.
Ailita stood in front of the tower as she slowly reached out for the tower as she always had.
Only instead of slowly fazing into the tower Tommy shoved her into the tower.
“EEEEEP!” Ailita squealed was forced into the tower.
“Hurry up Ailita! Trying to prevent a nuclear holocaust here, not taking a stroll in the park!” Tommy shouted as she fazed into the tower instantly. (3)
After waiting ten seconds outside the tower they heard Jeremy’s voice.
“Return to the past now!”
A bright light flashed as they were sent back to the previous day.
“The kids were scared. They thought I was with the government.” Tommy laughed as he finished telling the mares about how he met the Lyoko team. Making sure to leave out how he became a power ranger in Lyoko or his power coin.
When the kids asked him about his form he told them about his past as a power ranger. Needless to say the kids were very impressed and begged him to train them.
Had to admit though, they had some crazy times. But the weirdest one was when he had to do the weekly room inspection on the boy’s dorm. He walked in and saw Odd pretend fighting while dressed in a store-bought costume of his green power ranger outfit in his room in front of the mirror. He was even making sound effects.
When Odd saw him he nearly jumped out of his skin. Trying to make up an excuse but Tommy simply said “…Nope!” And left the room with a disturbed expression.
“What happened next?” Twilight asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.
“I made it clear that I wasn’t with the government. I helped them out regularly for a while all the while training them.” He explained.
“At some point, they started gaining the powers they had in Lyoko in real life. We called it the Bleeding Effect. The powers bled through and into them.” He added.
“Wow, I wish you could show us what they look like.” Fluttershy said.
“You’re in luck.” Tommy said as he reached into his computer desk and pulled out two pictures.
“Here’s a picture of them after they got their powers.” He said as he showed them the first picture.
“Woah, they look awesome!” Rainbow Dash cheered.
“I must say, they have astonishing fashion sense.” Rarity said.
“They look fierce for a group of foals. But at the same time, I can tell that they look happy just to have each other.” Celestia said as she looked at the picture of the kids.
“And here’s one of Ailita.”
“Is she the one that was stuck in Lyoko?” Twilight asked.
“Yeah, she was stuck in there for ten years.” He explained shocking the girls.
“And you want to remake the super computer that caused all those problems for them!” Twilight asked.
“A safe version. It won’t have any evil A.I. and it can’t go back into the past.” He explained easing her worries.
“I must ask. How many of your students were super heroes?” Celestia asked.
“A few of them.” He answered.
“That’s amazing. Helping others at such a young age is amazing.” She smiled.
“Oh! Oh! Are any of your new student’s super heroes?!” Pinkie Pie asked excitedly.
“No. Not that I’m aware.” He answered.
“Ah fooey.” Pinkie snapped her fingers in mock disappointment.
Tommy laughed as he picked up the blueprints.
“Here you go. I’ll have to show you how to type the coding into the computers but I’m sure Twilight can learn if I give her the books to show her how.” He said as he one copy to Twilight and one copy to Celestia.
“This will help Equestria greatly. Thank you.” Celestia smiled while Twilight was looking at the blueprints as if it were the best porn in her life.
“Your welcome. The least I can do is help out here since Equestria is my new home and all.” The human teacher sighed as he felt his mood fall.
All of those adventures are all in the past now Tommy. You just have to move on man. There is no way to get back home. You have the memories. Stop living in the past. You’re just boring old Tommy Oliver from now on.
He felt someone hugging him. He turned to see Rarity hugging him along with the others who joined the group hug. He hadn’t even realized how long he zoned out.
“Don’t worry Tommy, we will be here for you. Remember, you are not alone.” Rarity said.
“That’s right!” Pinkie giggled.
“You only need but call me, my sister, the Elements of Harmony or Captain Blade Dancer.” Celestia said.
“Thank you Celestia. That means a lot to me.” Tommy smiled. Even though he still felt homesick, he felt better.
The next day Tommy was at home just relaxing playing video games. Rarity and Barbara had come over to spend some time with him. The second Rarity saw the man playing video games her eyes became the size of saucers.
“Tommy, Darling what is that you’re playing?” She asked.
“Final Fantasy 7: The Remake, it just got released back in my world a week before I came to Equestria. I haven’t had the chance to play it until now.” He answered.
Her eyes were glued to the big screen TV as Tommy moved the character Cloud Strife around, slashing enemies apart and blocking bullets with his sword.
Tommy saw Rarity watching the screen intently as Barbara giggled at Rarity’s secret addiction.
“I have never seen graphics like that.” The unicorn whispered in awe. (4)
“You wanna play? Here.” He said as he handed the control to the fashionista who snatched up the controller like her life depended on it.
“This game is not even out yet and yet your world has already made a remake of it!” She gasped as she played the game.
The clacking of the controller was heard as she as Tommy hooked up two more controllers for him and Barbara to play alongside the fashionista.
The three began playing together and having fun as they progressed through the game.
“How are things going for you darling?” Rarity asked as she started the next chapter of the game.
“I’m doing good. I’m finally getting used to things around here.” He answered.
“That’s wonderful darling!” Rarity cheered.
As they played for a bit Tommy got up and got them some drinks and food. After serving the two, he saw some of his mail sitting on the table. Realizing he forgot to read through it earlier.
Sorting through the letters he found one that caught his attention. It was a purple envelope that smelled of perfume.
He examined it and saw that it was sealed with a kiss mark of red lipstick. Walking back into the room and sitting down next to the mare and the dragoness, he opened the letter.
“What’s that?” Barbara asked.
“I think it’s a love letter.” Tommy answered, making Rarity freeze up.
“What’s it say?” Barbara asked.
“Here, I’ll read it out loud.” He said.
My Dearest Thomas,
I have not been able to take my eyes off of you since the moment I saw you. The way you care for others, the way you help the little ones learn and better them for the future. The way you are so caring even though you are so young. You press on even though you are stranded in a world not your own. Eyes holding such sadness.
Yet you live all on your own, with no herd to take care of you. You need someone who will take care of you. Who will love you and comfort you in your time of need. Will you let me be the one to love you?
My darling, I wish I had the courage to tell you how much my heart sores for you in person. But I can’t help but get cold hooves. I can only shower you with my love from afar, my dear.
Until the day we can be together, I shall wait for you my love.
With love,
Your Secret Admirer
At the bottom of the letter was a kissing mark.
As Tommy finished reading the letter out, he stared at it for a moment.
“Wow, I never thought anypony would actually find me attractive.” He said as he scratched his head.
Meanwhile Rarity’s face was red as a tomato.
Sweet Celestia! I didn’t actually think he would read the letter I sent him out loud!
Tommy looks at the letter for a few moments before looking at Rarity, then back down to the letter, then at Rarity again.
Why does he keep staring at me like that? Does he know it was me who wrote the letter!
Tommy looked at her for a moment before speaking.
“Wow, can you believe that Rarity. Somepony actually likes me.” Tommy said with a smile.
“Y-Yes! I’m so happy for you!” Rarity said, happy that Tommy didn’t realize it was her that sent the letter.
Meanwhile, Tommy had a single thought that went through his head.
She totally sent me that letter.
“Well, hopefully you’ll find out who sent that letter.” Barbara said. Although to be honest she seemed to be a little jealous now that someone was going for Tommy. Tommy and Rarity were hers. She quickly realized what she just told herself and quickly shook her head to get rid of her naughty thoughts.
A cheeky smile spread across the human’s face when none of them were looking.
Maybe I should give this a shot. These mares are definitely easy on the eyes. But her personality is very good and compatible. But what about this coming threat. Will I even have time for a relationship? Will I even survive… You know what. Billy is off another planet dating an alien princess. If he can do it so can I. Besides, with my extended life span and youth, I have all the time in the world.
Tommy sat in between Rarity and Barbara after he put the love letter somewhere safe.
He picked up where he left off with the two.
“Wow Rarity, and here I thought you would prove a challenge.” Tommy joked.
“I’ll have you know I am more than just a pretty face. I am a master gamer.” Rarity said while pouting cutely.
“So, you admit it.” The human and dragoness said at the same time.
Rarity stuttered as she tried to think of an excuse only to come up with nothing.
“Oh drat it.” She blushed cutely as she couldn’t look them in the eyes.
It was the weekend and Tommy was enjoying the lovely weather outside. Ponyville was scheduled to have a whole month of perfect weather with a few light showers.
He was currently talking with Cheerilee. At the moment, the kids were having lunch. Many of them talking with friends or just playing games while they ate.
As he sat with Cheerilee eating his lunch as they always did, Tommy kept remembering what Faust told him.
What is this great evil that I’m supposed to fight? What did she mean when she said it knows me very well? I won’t lie I still have my cyber sword and a few others things. But there is no way I could fight against anything like that again without my powers.
“How are you feeling today Tommy?” Cheerilee asked.
The young mare had been worried for her new friend ever since she heard of the break in. Since then she was acting like a mother hen worried over a baby chick. Frankly he found it endearing.
“I’m feeling better. The doctor said I should be fully healed in the next couple of weeks. I’m sorry for worrying you.” He said trying to ease her worry.
“I would be less worried if you didn’t train so hard. Twilight is constantly worried about how you are pushing yourself too hard, and to be honest I’m worried too.” Cheerilee said with a frown.
“Sorry about that. It’s just kind of a habit for me to train constantly. Especially when I’m stressed.” He said with a sheepish smile.
Before she could say anything, shouting was heard.
“Hey give it back!” Applebloom shouted.
“Nuh uh blank flank. It’s mine now!” Diamond Tiara said as she kept Applebloom’s bow out of reach.
Tommy sighed. He quickly learned that Diamond Tiara was the school bully with the help of Silver Spoon. But to be honest. It seemed that she was only following Diamond out of fear of losing her as her friend.
He had called her mother in yesterday for a parent teacher conference. Cheerilee said that there was no way to get through to the mare but Tommy said he would give it a try. Diamond’s mother, Spoiled Rich seemed to not take her daughter’s behavior seriously.
He quickly found out first hand that Spoiled Rich hardly ever spent time with her daughter. From what Cheerilee told him. Her father, Filthy Rich along with the two other mares in his herd were the only one ‘s who were ever there for his daughter. He cared for his daughter deeply but he was often away due to work. His business was so big that the two other mares in his had to help him with his work. Leaving Spoiled Rich to watch after her own daughter.
The entire time Spoiled Rich talked with Tommy she was trying everything she could to seduce him while her daughter was sitting right next to her. The whole time he managed to keep a professional neutral expression despite her best efforts.
Tommy had standards. One of those standards was that he would never go out with a girl who was already married. Especially one who didn’t take care of her child properly.
But that didn’t stop her from slipping her panties in his hand when they shook hands when Diamond Tiara had left the room when the meeting was done. On the way, out of the school she lifted the back of her mini skirt, showing her perfect naked ass to the man.
Cheerilee was furious but Tommy managed to calm her down enough for her to give him the chair that she was about to hit Spoiled Rich over the head with when she was walking out of the room. Spoiled Rich will never know how close she was to being sent into a coma.
“Diamond Tiara, please give Applebloom her bow back or am I going to have to give you detention again.” Tommy said with a stern, yet polite tone that surprisingly enough, the little filly immediately did as she was told.
“Thank you.” Applebloom said, trying to be polite.
“Now what do we say.” He said turning to the pink filly.
“…” Diamond said nothing only for the human to raise an eyebrow to which she finally caved in.
“…I’m sorry.” She muttered.
“Good.” He said as Applebloom ran off to talk with her friends.
Tommy learned very quickly that ponies were more expressive than humans were. Her ears were splayed back against her head and she fiddle with her fingers.
“What’s wrong Diamond Tiara?” He asked.
He knew that she acted out only to get the attention she desperately craved.
“…Nothing.” She sniffed as tears started to well up in her eyes as she began to walk off with her head down.
He felt bad for the filly. She felt all alone in the world as her mother was out living it up while she suffered. Tommy felt his anger rise at the Spoiled Rich for her negligence. He needed to find some way to help her.
As she walked off, something fell out of her pocket.
Tommy picked it up and saw that it was a manga of super heroes.
“You read manga?” He asked as he handed it back to her. Realizing the opportunity to help her.
“Y-Yeah, so what if I do.” The little filly sniffled as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
“That’s cool. What’s this one called?” He asked.
“I-It’s called Mega Mare. She’ my favorite manega hero. Me and Silver Spoon love the series.” She said expecting to be judged.
“That’s really neat. I’m guessing that book is about a robot mare who fights evil robots and protects the innocent, right?” He asked to which she nodded in shock.
“Have you read it?” She asked.
“This one, no. But there’s a similar series back in my world called Mega Man with a similar story line.”
“R-Really?” She asked in awe to which he nodded.
“That’s cool. B-But super heroes don’t exist. My mom says they’re just make believe.” She frowned.
“Your mother is wrong. I’ve seen a lot of super heroes in my life. In my world, super heroes actually exist. They show up on the news all the time.” He explained.
“They do! D-Do you think you could tell me and Silver Spoon about them?” She asked hopefully.
“Of course, I’d be more than happy to tell you stories about them. But you just got to do one thing for me.”
“W-What’s that?” She asked nervously.
“You have to be nice to the Applebloom and her friends as well as the other kids. Do we have a deal?” He asked.
She shifted her hooves nervously before nodding.
“Good.” He smiled before he motioned for her to sit at the table where him and Cheerilee were sitting.
“Now why don’t you tell us what has you all sad.” He smiled.
“W-Well… M-Mommy’s been very busy…” She began as she told Tommy and Cheerilee about how her mother is hardly ever around and the only one’s around her home is her maids and butlers as well as her nanny.
Cheerilee and Tommy comforted the little filly as they both tried to think of a way to help her.
There’s got to be some way to help her. Her mother’s technically not breaking the law since she has a nanny and staff caring for her while she’s gone. But this still isn’t right. There has to be something that we can do for her.
Tommy was training in White Tail woods once again due to it being secluded while at the same time monster free unlike the Everfree forest.
Deciding to take a break he sat down on a log. As he was resting, the coin around his neck began to glow green.
“What the hell?” He said as he looked at the glowing Dragonzord coin.
Green sparks began to shimmer around it as he held it in his hand before shooting all over his body. Tommy felt as if he were struck by lightning, yet he felt no pain. In fact, he felt better than he had in years.
He felt different. He felt stronger, faster, and filled with energy.
He knew this sensation. It was the same sensation he felt when he gained his powers for the first time. Only difference was that Rita Repulsa was not shocking him with her mind control magic and convincing him to kill his friends.
He put the Dragonzord coin back around his neck quickly. He looked around to make sure he was alone. Seeing no one, he got up and faced the log he had been sitting on.
“Either this is going to be awesome… or I’ve gone crazy and I’m going to throw my back out like an idiot.” He said before taking a breath in preparation.
Tommy grabbed the log and tried to lift it. To his surprise the log felt like it was nothing as he held it in one hand above his head.
“Correction, this is AWESOME!” He said before flinging the log threw the air with like it was nothing.
The log flew through the air and smashed into the ground 50 feet away. In his excitement, he had an idea. He took off running.
Trees passed by as nothing but green and brown blurs as his feet dug into the dirt. His speed far beyond any human if they were an Olympic athlete that trained every day since childhood.
He was hitting speeds of 60 miles an hour and he wasn’t even pushing himself or going all out.
He leapt 30 feet into the air. Soaring over the tree tops as if he were light as a feather.
He came skidding to a halt when he landed.
A smiled graced his face as he looked at his hands and saw traces of green electricity run over his hands and finger tips before disappearing.
Radlog was waiting for the changelings to finish taking down the wards around Ponyville as he readied the troops for the attacks.
A very faint shimmer could be seen in the air as the ward silently came down with no pony ever realizing the events that were unfolding.
The guards did not notice anything happening as they went about patrolling the town as they would any other day. There were so few guards that they would never even stand a chance let alone put up any real fight.
“The barrier is down. Now is the time to attack. Remember, grab the bearers of the elements of harmony. We need them alive. We’ll stick to disguises until we get close enough to strike.” Chrysalis ordered.
Radlog readied himself as he followed the queen as a vicious grin spread across his face. Showing his razor-sharp teeth as he snuck into the town.
Tommy was writing on the chalk board as Cheerilee was reading about a major turning point in Equestrian history.
The lesson went on as the teachers explained the lessons as they questioned and answered the questions of the students.
As the day went on everything seemed to be going as usual until loud screams were heard outside.
Tommy and Cheerilee looked outside the window and saw pure chaos. Insect like ponies were attacking the town and tearing it apart.
“Kids get under the desks right now!” Tommy shouted.
“What’s wrong?” Button Mash asked.
“Changelings are attacking!” Cheerilee said as her and Tommy shut the door and began barricading the doors.
“What are those things?” Tommy asked as he shoved a book shelf in front the door.
“Changelings, they’re shape shifters that tried to invade Equestria before by attacking Canterlot but they failed when they were expelled by Princess Cadence and Shining Armor.” Cheerilee answered as she shoved another desk in front of the door.
*CRASH!*
The kids screamed as the window was shattered. By the time Tommy turned, two changelings were already in the school house with sword and spear drawn.
The second they saw the cutie mark crusaders they made their way over to them.
Tommy lunged at the two changelings and drew his cybersword. The blade flipped out and slashed straight through them as if they were nothing. The first one was dead before he even hit the ground while the second was gasping his final breaths.
“You may kill us but you cannot save the Elements of Harmony.” The changeling gasped through blood stained lips before dying.
Tommy instantly realized why these two broke into the school. They were trying to get Sweetiebelle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo as leverage against their older sisters and their friends.
He needed to rescue them, if he could draw the changelings attention then he could give the students and Cheerilee a chance to escape. He’d be killing two birds with one stone.
“I’m going to draw their attention. It should give you chance to get the kids out of here.” Tommy ordered as he began to unbarricade the door.
“What about you? You can’t possibly think you can take them all on!” She said as she tried not to throw up at the sight of the two corpses in the room.
“Don’t worry about me, you and the kids are more important.” He said as she reluctantly nodded as she gathered the frightened foals.
He kicked open the door. Slamming into a changeling soldier’s skull. Knocking her out.
“Go! Go! Go!” He shouted as everypony ran out of the school.
Some flying changelings tried to go for the children but were cut down by the man.
“Hey fuckers! Over here!” He shouted as he ran, drawing their attention as they chased after him.
The group of changelings chased after him as they tried to kill him only for him to cut them all down.
He ran into the town, seeing Royal Guards fighting against the invasion as ponies ran from the fighting.
He saw a particular big red stallion punching and knocking out some changelings with nothing but one punch to each of them. But despite his strength, he was being overwhelmed.
Tommy delivered a flying kick to one of the changelings that were trying to stab Big Mac from behind. The enemy went flying backwards from the newly powered man.
Tommy picked up a sword on the ground and tossed it to the red stallion who caught it as a big group of changelings ran at the two.
Using his newly acquired speed Tommy sliced and cleaved his enemies in two as Big Mac stabbed and slashed any enemy that came at him. The fought back to back as they downed their enemies.
When the last of them was dead they took a moment to catch their breath.
“Thanks, I wasn’t sure I was going to make it.” Big Mac said to the man.
“I can’t believe I actually killed somepony.” The red stallion whispered as he looked at the dead bodies of the changelings.
“I know it’s hard to come to term with, but right now we need to focus. Applebloom and the others are safe but Applejack and her friends are in danger. The changelings are most likely here for them since they are the Elements of Harmony.” He explained.
Big Mac tightened his grip on the sword as he steeled his resolve.
“Well what are we waiting for! Let’s save my sister and her friends!” He declared only for Tommy to nod in confirmation before they both took off further deeper into the town.
They both came upon Blade Dancer and her guards fighting off a group of enemies as they tried to protect the Element Bearers. Blade Dancer lived up to her name as she took out her enemies with fluid movement that resembled a dance to him.
The Captain and her team managed to defeat the enemy but looked completely exhausted. Unfortunately she was too tired to notice a changeling that snuck up on Rarity.
“Move and I slit the bitch’s throat!” The changeling screamed as he held a knife the unicorn’s throat.
“Let her go!” Tommy barked.
“Get the fuck back!” The changeling shouted as he waved the knife at the man.
Seeing the knife away from his friend’s throat, Tommy lunged at the changeling and grabbed the wrist of the hand that held the knife.
Tommy wrestled the changeling away from Rarity. The changeling managed to trip the man before diving on top of him.
Rarity and the girls watched in horror as the man wrestled the insectoid soldier. The knife inched closer to Tommy’s neck but Tommy managed to push it away at the last second and head butt his opponent. When he was, dazed Tommy grabbed the changeling soldier and snapped his neck.
Tommy ran over to Rarity.
“Are you okay?” He asked the white unicorn, who could only break down crying at how close she came to death.
She sobbed into Tommy’s shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her in an effort to comfort her.
“Sh, it’s okay. You’re safe now.” He said as he helped her to the others.
“T-Thank you.” She sobbed.
“Everyone alright?” Big Mac asked.
“We’re fine. Where’s Applebloom and the others?” Applejack asked in panic.
“The kids are fine. I managed to distract the changelings while Cheerilee took them to safety.” The teacher explained as he flung some of the blood off his blade before flipping it closed and putting it in his jacket.
“What are the changelings doing here?” Rarity asked shakily as Fluttershy helped her calm down a bit.
“They’re after you girls. From what I saw they wanted to hold your sisters’ hostage to use against you girls.” He said making the mares gasp.
“We have to get the girls to safety.” Blade Dancer said.
“I don’t think so. You girls have been a thorn in my side long enough. With you as my prisoners, Celestia will have no choice but to surrender to me.” Chrysalis said as she landed in front of the group as they backed away scared.
Tommy on the other hand was ready for a fight as he took a stance.
“Letting a stallion fight your battles for you? Celestia truly is a coward, especially her royal guards.” She smirked trying to goad the elements and Blade Dancer into a fight.
“Who is this unique stallion?” Chrysalis asked as she walked up to the ex-ranger as the guards readied their blades.
“Tommy Oliver. I’m a human.” He said showing no fear as she came face to face with him.
“A human you say? I thought you were all just myths. But I do remember my spies telling me about you. You could be very useful to me.” She said with a smirk, horrifying the girls.
“Join me and-”
“Question.” Tommy interrupted.
“What?” Everyone asked in shock at how he interrupted the changeling queen so casually.
“…Who’s the fat bitch?” Tommy asked, knowing very well that he was digging his own grave.
“H-HOW DARE YOU! I AM QUEEN CHRYSALIS! I AM THE QUEEN OF THE CHANGELINGS AND LEADER OF THIS INVASION! YOU WILL-”
*POW!!!*
Tommy punched the queen with all of his might and sent her flying backwards and into a tree.
Everyone could only look on in shock at how he just punched the changeling queen without hesitation.
“Get the girls out of here.” Tommy commanded but before the girls could protest he was tackled by the changeling queen as she flew through the air.
“Tommy!” Rarity cried with the girls gasping in horror.
The queen rammed the man through the tree branches as she flew at tops speeds before slamming him down into the ground.
“There, that should teach you some manners peasant.” She said as she walked off only to feel a hard kick slam into the side of her head that sent her rolling. But thanks to training she rolled into a standing position, facing the man.
“Won’t lie, that hurt. But I’ve had worse.” He panted. (5)
The queen shot a blast of magic at the man only for him to roll out of the way of the blast. The blast of green energy flew into the Everfree forest and erupted into an explosion that shook the trees.
“Definitely don’t want to get hit by that.” The man said as the two circled each other in the middle of an open field.
“No matter. I can easily deal with you.” She laughed.
Tommy lunged at her and threw a punch at her only for her to dodge it by stepping back. The mare tried to leg sweep him but he leapt over the strike and delivered a powerful round house kick to her chest.
“EEYA!!!” He shouted his signature battle cry.
He followed the kick with series of rapid punches and kicks. Each hit emitting aloud crack.
Even with his newly enhanced strength he was still having a hard time with this mare.
“That’s it! I’m done messing around!” She said as she summoned a giant sword with her magic.
Tommy felt himself being lifted into the air by her magic. He felt a tight pressure on his body as if he were being crushed.
She walked up to him but Tommy threw his hands in front of him and fired green blast that sent the changeling backwards a few feet along with breaking her hold on him.
“I forgot I could do that.” Tommy said as he drew his cyber sword. The blast was weak but just doing that alone made him feel tired.
“Die!” She screamed as she lunged at him.
Their blades clashed as they fought. Some changelings joined the fight.
Tommy slashed a changeling across the throat before striking at the queen only for her to block the attack and punch him.
Another changeling managed to slash him across the back but Tommy worked through the pain and stabbed him in the heart before kicking him off of the blade.
Using his enhanced speed, he carved all of the changelings up, leaving only shredded corpses.
“You’re quite skilled. But it won't do you much good.” Chrysalis said as she swiped at his neck only for it to be blocked.
Tommy forced her back and headbutted her. The queen merely shook it off. She slashed at him while shooting magic at him every so often.
A blast managed to hit the man in the chest. While he was stunned she slashed him across the chest. Tommy managed to jump back just enough to prevent the cut from being fatal.
He felt a hard kick hit his chest causing him to tumble backwards. He tried to get up but quickly fell back onto one knee.
A hard punch sent him flying backwards. As he tumbled to the ground again, Queen Chrysalis approached him with a giant sword in hand and laughed.
“You weakling, did you really think that you could beat me! By the time the elements of harmony get here you’ll be dead!” She laughed as twenty-five changelings flew down and surrounded him.
As he tried to get up he fell back down. He knew he was screwed but he couldn’t even fight back at this point. When he tried to get up again he was met with the same result but this time something fell out of his pocket. Something he hadn’t seen in years. Something that could easily change the tide of battle if used right.
It was glowing green with a note attached to it.
To Tommy from Faust with love.
He quickly snatched it up and forced himself to stand. Luckily it worked. He was standing, albeit barely.
“Before I kill you, tell me your name so I may write it on your tombstone.” Chrysalis laughed.
Tommy ignored the queen as he said something he had not said in years.
“IT’S MORPHIN’ TIME!”
“It’s what-”
“DRAGONZORD!!!”
A huge blast of power hit the queen and her changelings accompanied by a green flash of light, sending them flying back in a very huge blast of power.
The roar of dragons could be heard echoing all around them yet they never saw the creatures.
The temperature dropped. Chrysalis could even see her breath even though it was in the middle of summer. She felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
Tommy was screaming at the overwhelming power coursing through his veins as green lightning shot everywhere. His eyes glowed green with lightning and his screams turned into the roars of ten thousand dragons.
When the light cleared, Chrysalis saw something that made her jaw drop.
In front of her was a warrior dressed in emerald green armor. The armor was form fitting but looked very futuristic. Covering the upper part of his chest was some type of golden chest shield that protected his shoulders as well. It looked like it was both solid but made out of pure energy at the same time.
She only felt terror at the immense power that was being emitted from this warrior.
“W-What are you?” She gasped in fear but was meant only with silence
Before any of them could react, his fist smashed through one of the soldier’s head. The fist tearing through the chitin as if it were an egg shell sending blood and brain matter everywhere.
The green ranger threw the corpse into another changeling as he charged.
He drew his dragon dagger and carved his enemies to ribbons as if they were nothing.
Chrysalis could only stare in horror at the scene in front of her as the ranger killed her soldiers left and right without mercy. But before she could do anything she felt an explosion of pain in her stomach as she was sent flying back through the trees as the power ranger’s fist slammed into her gut.
The queen smashed through a tree and tumbled across the ground.
She aimed a powerful blast at the armored man only for him to swat the blast away with his hand as if it were nothing.
She kept firing only for the same result.
He teleported behind her slashed at her with his dagger only for her to block the strike with her sword.
He kicked her in the stomach, causing her to hunch over as she coughed up blood from the strike.
He grabbed her by her mane and punched her in the stomach over and over again. A crack was heard each time his fist met her ribs before throwing her down to the ground hard.
“Stay down.” The green ranger growled.
But Chrysalis growled in anger as she spat some blood to the side and stood up.
“Enough! You are all of you beneath me! I am a queen you dull creature! And I will not be bullied by-”
The green ranger grabbed Chrysalis by her ankle and slammed her into the ground. Back and forth, over and over again.
Chrysalis lay in a crater unable to move due to her bloodied body being in so much pain.
“Puny queen.” The green power ranger said as he walked away towards the remaining changelings.
The changelings immediately dropped their weapons and held their arms up.
“We surrender! We’ll leave and you’ll never see us again! Just don’t hurt us, please!” One of them begged.
“Wise choice.” He said, showing them mercy.
But the changelings did one thing that he was not expecting. They used their magic to teleport themselves and the queen with them.
“Dammit! I really should have said they couldn’t take her with them. But that’s not important right now. I need to help the others.”
With that, Tommy disappeared in a bolt of green lightning.
Having met up with Cheerilee and her class, the girls and the remaining royal guards all made their way to the out skirts of the city.
Twilight and Barbara sent a message to Celestia telling her the situation. They got a letter back almost instantly.
The letter said that she was coming with her sister and Shining Armor along with a battalion of royal guards. She would be there in 10 minutes. They just had to get to the outskirts of the town and to safety.
Rarity’s mind was on Tommy the whole time and where he could be. She worried for the man. She really admired the human. She really admired him. He saved her baby sister and herself without ever thinking or hesitating. Ah heck who was she kidding, she was crushing on him hard.
Now he was God knows where fighting for his life. She could only pray that he was okay as she held Sweetiebelle’s hand as they all ran. They just had to hold out until Celestia and Luna came with reinforcements.
As they made it to the edge of town, a giant changeling shot through the sky and landed in front of the group blocking their path.
“Where do you think, you’re going?” The giant changeling smirked as he drew his sword.
"Who are you?" Blade Dancer demanded
“I’m the only changeling prince there is, I go by many names. But you may call me Radlog.” He grinned viciously.
“Why are you doing this? Most changeling hives are peaceful! Why are you and Chrysalis doing this!” Twilight said as Barbara and Blade Dancer stood in front of her, ready to protect her and the others should the need arise. (7)
"Because I can and I enjoy this." He boasted viciously.
The giant changeling walked towards the girls as he readied his blade. Barbara blew a blast of emerald fire at him only for him to hold up a hand and block it as if it were nothing.
“That’s adorable.” He laughed as he approached the mares and dragoness.
But at that moment a changeling flew down next to the prince in a panic.
“Radlog, sir!” The changeling called in a panic.
“Can’t you see I’m busy.” He growled.
“I-It’s an emergency! Chrysalis has been defeated!” The changeling said with worry. But for the girls they gasped in shock.
“WHAT!!!” Radlog shouted.
“I-I don’t know what happened, I only arrived to see s-some warrior dressed in green armor just came out of nowhere and started wiping out our troops like they were nothing. When I first saw him he was standing over the queen’s body.” He explained.
“How many of our troops our left?” He asked.
“Around half of our troops were wiped out.”
Radlog let out a feral roar, causing everyone to back away in fear.
“Who is he!” Radlog demanded as he picked up the changeling by the throat.
At that moment, a crackle of thunder echoed as a bolt of green lightning hit the ground.
In front of the changeling prince, standing in between him and his objective was a very familiar warrior dressed in emerald green armor.
The prince dropped the changeling as he looked at the warrior in front of him.
Noooo…
“I suggest you take your soldiers and get out of here right now.” The power ranger ordered in a low and deadly tone.
No, no, no.
“Otherwise you won’t make it out of here alive.”
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
“W-Who are you?” One of the fillies from the school class, Diamond Tiara asked.
“I’m the Mighty Morphin’ Green Power Ranger!” He said, making the filly along with everypony there go awestruck.
“You make it sound like we’ve met before.” Tommy growled as he readied his dragon dagger.
“You could say that.” Radlog sneered as he readied his sword.
The two lunged at each other. Their blades clashed, making the ground quaked beneath their feet.
The girls fell backwards from the sheer force of the two fighting.
“His power is beyond anything I’ve ever seen!” Twilight gasped as she and friends got up and ran behind cover.
The ranger’s strikes were fast but not fast enough as his dagger was blocked by the changeling’s sword. Clashing together and causing sparks.
Radlog tried to backhand the ranger, but he ducked under it and threw a high kick to his chin. The changeling shrugged the blow off and managed to slash the power ranger across his chest, the blood leaked from under his armor.
“Hurts doesn’t it!” Radlog laughed as he went in for another strike.
Tommy blocked the strike with his wrist guards and delivered a backwards spin kick to the prince’s chest before leaping into the air and delivering another backwards spin kick to his face, only this time his boot was surrounded by a green energy aura. Enhancing the power of the kick tenfold.
The warrior growled in rage and pain as the chitin of his face cracked as if it were made of glass before he charged the green hero.
“I’LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!” Radlog screamed in rage.
The changeling prince’s claymore sword glowed a bright angry red as he threw it at his opponent.
The power ranger tried to block the blade with his dagger but the power stored inside of the sword unleashed itself on the ranger as soon as it made contact with his weapon. The aura exploded in an eruption of fire and sent the ranger flying backwards into an old oak tree, shattering it to pieces.
Tommy slowly staggered backed to his feet but by then Radlog was already on top of him. The ranger was put on the defensive.
“Dammit! This guy is freakishly strong! But his fighting style… It’s wild, aggressive, vicious… It’s familiar.” Tommy thought as he blocked the prince’s punches and kicks.
Tommy side stepped a kick and gave the changeling a back-flip kick. Smashing both boots into his face. The beast stumbled back as Tommy channeled energy into his fists, making them spark with green electricity before shooting off at his enemy.
Tommy was nothing but a blur as his fists smashed into Radlog’s face.
This sounds of cracking and shattering could be heard as the chitin of the changeling’s face cracked and shattered more and more as the beating continued.
After ten more seconds of the barrage a final uppercut was delivered and sent Radlog flying backwards and through the air, landing with a thud.
(End Song)
“Y-You did it! You actually-” Barbara started but was cut off.
“You…” Radlog growled as he slowly got up, his face covered in shadows as he looked down at the ground. His fists shaking in rage as pieces of his faces fell off as if they were made of glass, the chitin on his body falling off in a similar manner.
“YOU SON OF A BITCH! EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS YOU COME BACK AND ARE STILL GETTING IN THE WAY OF OUR PLANS!!! I’ll KILL YOU!!! I’ll FUCKING KILL YOU GREEN RANGER!!!” He bellowed in rage as his voice became deep and animalistic as he looked the power ranger dead in the eye, revealing his own face.
As the last of the pieces fell away, Tommy stood before one of his most hated enemies.
The girls stared at the seven-foot-tall creature in terror. The creature they thought was a changeling now looked like a monster that resembled a humanoid sphinx with the face of an ape dressed in gold armor and wielding a giant claymore sword.
“Goldar. What are you doing here?” Tommy demand in a cold and deadly tone.
“As if I’d tell you.” He said before lunging at the power ranger.
Goldar’s fist met Tommy’s as they two attacks canceled each other out, sending a massive shock wave that made the very earth under their feet crack.
Goldar thrusted his sword at the man. The blade was nothing but a blur as he threw a series of countless stabs at the power ranger. The power ranger just barely managed to block the sword with his dragon dagger.
His weapon clanging as sparks flew from the joining of the blades.
The monster roared in rage, firing a beam out of his mouth that hit the ranger directly in the chest.
Tommy was sent flying back through the air only for Goldar to grab his ankle and fling him into the ground. The ground crack with spider webs spreading through the earth from the sheer force.
Fighting through the pain, Tommy kicked out of Goldar’s grip and blasted him in the face with a ball of green energy, blinding him.
Getting to his feet, Tommy took advantage of the monster’s temporary blindness and stabbed the beast in the stomach.
The beast roared in pain only for the ranger to tear the blade out of his stomach.
“I’ll skin you alive you son of a bitch!” Goldar roared.
“With how many times I beat you before, I highly doubt it.” Tommy rolled out of the way of a sword swipe before slamming a high kick to the sphinx’s chin.
The two clashed as they traded blows and strikes. The two separated from each other but before they could attack one another again, they heard the sound of war cries.
Off in the distance a regiment of royal guards were charging the small town, greatly out numbering the changelings.
“Sir! Enemy reinforcements have arrived and the Princesses are with them! We’re outnumbered!” The changeling soldier panicked. But the soldier shrank back in fear at Goldar’s form, thinking that he was either shapeshifting to scare his opponents or using magic to use a stronger form, being terrified by it himself. (8)
“Hold them off! I’ll give you back up!”
Before the insectoid could say anything, Goldar shouted.
“PUTTIES!!!” He shouted.
In a flash appeared dozens of creatures made of clay and dressed in gray as they took battle stances.
“These should even the odds. Putties! Help the changelings!” The golems nodded before charging into battle just as another group of putties appeared in front of the sphinx.
“You! Don’t just stand there you fools! Help me!” Goldar shouted to the putties.
The putties charged into battle.
The power ranger slammed his fist into the first one and smashed its head into pieces while blocking another’s punch with his dagger. He slashed the other’s head off before stabbing it into another’s skull, stabbing its brain, if it even had a brain.
Two of them unleashed a flurry of strikes but they were no match for the ranger who simply dodged the strikes as if they were going at a snail’s pace. He rammed his fist straight through the putty’s chest cavity. His fist exiting the other side, he fired an energy blast at the putty behind it and blew it’s upper body away before yanking his hand out of it.
The last one tried to run for the girls but Tommy grabbed it by the head and repeatedly slammed its head into the ground until it was nothing but a pile of mush, killing the last of the putties. Horrifying the girls.
Goldar’s rage took control as he saw the last of the minions vanquished he saw red as he screamed. But he left himself open as he swung at the man wildly who simply dodged them.
Tommy lunged at the beast and tackled him to the ground and began slamming his electrically charged fists into his face over and over again as they both skid across the ground as the dirt flew up, making a trench in the grounds with the power ranger on top of him beating him viscously.
Goldar threw the ranger off of him only for the him to right himself in midair with a flip. Goldar jumped up and lunged at the man. He tried to take the green warrior’s head off but he was just a bit faster than the blade as he ducked under the strike.
The ranger’s dagger began glowing neon green just before he slashed at the alien monster.
His strikes were a flurry that sent green energy blades out of the dagger. Unfortunately, Goldar managed to dodge all of the green blades.
“You missed!” Goldar taunted only to see all of the floating green energy blades all floating around him, with each of their tips pointing at him.
“Aw shit.” He groaned only for the blades to all fly at him.
The energy blades stabbed and sliced into him as he screamed in pain. He felt his skin tear apart as it was butchered by the attack. (9)
Goldar fell to his knees in pain, throwing up blood as it overflowed in his mouth as Tommy rushed at him with every intention to end their long feud.
But before he could, a staff came flying down from the sky and struck the ground with the such force that it shook the very town of Ponyville.
“MAGIC STAFF MAKE MY MONSTER GROW!!!” A very familiar voice echoed through the sky
The ponies all screamed in terror as they ran when they saw the horrifying monster grow bigger and bigger until he was eighty stories tall. His wounds healed and his energy back, he let out a roar.
(End Song)
The power ranger readied stood his ground.
"What are you doing! Don't just stand there! Run! You can't possibly beat that thing!" Blade Dancer shouted.
“I can, with the help of an old friend.” The green ranger said before putting his dagger to his lips.
A series of trumpets echoed as he played before going silent.
A massive lake at the edge of Ponyville began to quake as waves formed from the shocks as thunder clouds blotted the sky as lightning crashed as a thick fog filled the air.
Everyone looked on from their hiding places wondering what was happening only to feel the ground shake.
Even the thick fog could hide the massive figure slowly rising out of the lake.
“What’s happening!” Twilight shouted as her and her friends ran, trying to find a safe place to hide.
“I don’t know, but whatever it is, it doesn’t look good!” Rainbow Dash said as they all ran into Sugar Cube Corner. Every one of them crowding the windows to see what was coming.
The now giant Goldar drew his blade back as he prepared to crush the now tiny ranger. Too focused on the ranger to see the giant creature rapidly heading his way.
As he slashed his blade down at the green power ranger, a large mechanical tail with a giant drill at the end shot out of the fog and blocked the attack before returning to the fog.
Stumbling back from the strike. Goldar realized too late what had just come as dread filled him.
As the Royal Guard and the Changelings had even stopped fighting due to the appearance of the giant monster. They could only stare in horror at what was coming.
As the lightning crashed the giant figure’s outline was seen through the fog only for the fog to finally part, revealing the mighty creature right before giving off a mighty roar.
The green ranger leapt into the air. Soaring higher and higher he landed on the top of the giant machines and entered the cockpit.
It has been years my old friend.
“It has. Now, you ready to help me take down this son of a bitch.” Tommy smiled as he heard the voice of the Dragonzord echo in his head as he readied himself for the kaiju style battle.
Well it's about damned time! I’ve waited ages for this!
Tommy grabbed the controls and pushed the accelerator to maximum. The zord shot forward at the giant minion.
“BALLS TO THE WALL!!!” Tommy screamed.
DRAGON CEASERS BACK BITCHES!!!
The zord threw a haymaker at the giant beast in front of him, his metal fist connecting with the beast’s jaw.
Goldar felt his jaw crack as he was sent stumbling backwards from the blow. He quickly regained his balance and swung his sword at the giant dragon’s neck.
The Dragonzord blocked the blow with his claw and kicked Goldar back before pointing his fingers at him and firing missiles from his fingers.
Before the missiles could hit, Goldar sliced them each in half. The pieces exploding behind him before he charged at the Zord, slashing it with his claymore.
Goldar slashed the Dragonzord twice, sparks flying from the circuitry being sliced but the machine worked through the attack and tackled his opponent. (10)
The two were locked in battle as they grappled with each other.
Goldar broke out of the hold by kneeing the dragon in the stomach and slashing him across the chest.
“Damn he’s tougher than the last time we fought.” Tommy grunted under his helmet.
I’ll say, but he’s still no match for us. What the fuck is he any way’s? A spynx, gorilla, or a cat?
“I honestly don’t know.” Tommy said before he pressed a series of button’s making the zord fire a barrage of missiles from his fingers.
With each one finding it’s mark, shrapnel slicing through his flesh while the fires of the blast scorched his body, he screamed in agony as he clutched his bleeding chest. One of the missiles however found it’s mark on his hand. Making him drop his sword in pain.
“YOU BASTARD! I’ll KILL YOU FOR THAT!!!” Goldar bellowed in rage as he bared his claws and charged.
Dragon Ceaser swiped at him with his tail drill but Goldar ducked under the swipe and slashed the giant dragon with his razor-sharp claws before picking up Dragon Ceaser over his head and throwing him throw the air and into the forest.
The giant zord landed with a loud crash as he crushed trees and boulders underneath his body.
He’s much stronger than the last time we fought. At this rate, we won’t last long.
“You're right. We have no choice but to go to our last resort.” Tommy said as warning lights flashed in the cockpit alerting him of the damage done.
You mean full immersion? You understand the risks, right? What happens to me, happens to you.
“I know. But we have no choice.” Tommy explained.
Alright, let’s get serious.
In the cockpit, Tommy stood up as his helmet retracted back and into his armor as the control panels and the chair folded up and receded into the floor of the control room. Two cables of pure energy came out of the walls and floor of the control room and snaked their way to Tommy. The beams connected to the back of his neck and the middle of his back along his spine. When Tommy opened his eyes, they were glowing solid green as power surged through his very core.
The Dragonzord forced it’s self-up and faced Goldar who had retrieved his sword and was now making his way towards them. But he stopped in his tracks when he felt the pure aura of power being emitted. It was nearly suffocating.
Tommy took a stance causing Dragon Ceaser to take the exact same stance. The giant mech moving more fluidly with more flexibility than before as it’s form began to change. The zord became sleeker and the joints shifted as they upgraded. The new joints allowing him to move better allow him to rush the giant minion.
“How are you able to move like that? Five seconds ago, you were stiff as a wind-up toy! What the fuck are you!” Goldar demanded.
“WHAT’S THE MATTER GOLDAR, AFRAID? WE ARE READY TO DIE! THE QUESTION IS, ARE YOU?” The power ranger and the Dragonzord said as their voices merged together.
Dragon Ceaser’s fist smashed into Goldar’s nose, breaking it. Goldar howled in pain but managed to throw a clumsy slash at the mech only for it to grab his wrist and flip him over his shoulder and onto a cliff that crumbled under his weight.
Before he could even get up he was kicked in the stomach and sent backwards, skidding across the Everfree forest, destroying trees in his wake.
Goldar forced himself up, turning his head to spit some blood out, he growled.
“I’m not as weak as I once was boy. It will take more than that to kill me.”
In an amazing burst of speed, Goldar closed the distance and slashed at the Dragonzord who barely brought his arm up in time to block the strike.
The second the blade connected with the mech’s arm, a huge gash appeared on Tommy’s arm. Goldar followed up the attack with a flurry of strikes.
Tommy screamed in agony as slashes and cuts appeared all over his body. The pain almost made him pass out as he barely worked through it.
Just as he tried to deliver a killing blow, Dragon Ceaser shifted to the side and caught Goldar’s arm before biting into his shoulder.
The razor-sharp teeth tore through the armor like it was not even their as it shredded the flesh and fur the overgrown monster who futilely struggled to get the dragon off of him.
Thrashing his head back and forth, Dragon Ceaser tore a chunk of meat out of the monster’s shoulder.
Goldar screamed in pain as he clutched his now ruined shoulder in agony. Unable to grab his sword, the monster had no way of defending himself.
“You may have gotten stronger Goldar, but I’m not the little boy you tricked into working for you!” Tommy shouted as his and Dragon Ceaser’s voices merged.
Tommy drew his head back causing Dragon Ceaser draw his head back in turn as a ball of white energy began forming in his mouth.
With a loud roar his head shout forward and giant white beam of electricity shot out of his mouth and engulfed Goldar.
The monster screamed at the top of his lungs before he fell limp and hit the ground with a thunderous crash that echoed through the entire town of Ponyville, shaking the town itself.
"Morphinomical." Tommy smirked.
The energy cables disconnected from Tommy, ending his full immersion. He fell to his knees gasping for air.
Aren’t these guys supposed to blow up when we beat them?
“Y-You haven’t s-seen… T-The last of m-me… G-Green ranger.” A bloodied and mutilated Goldar gasped through his collapsed lung, a second later he disappeared as he teleported away in a flash of light.
“Dammit!” Tommy cursed.
I understand your anger. But we need to focus on the fight, the equines are still dealing with the last of the putty patrollers.
Celestia and Luna were fighting alongside the Royal guard as they fought the Putty patrollers. With the changelings fleeing due to the giant monster battle, the Royal Guard assumed they would have an easy victory against the putties due to their small numbers. But the putty patrollers proved to be a formidable match for the royal guards despite being greatly outnumbered.
One of the guards ran at one of the golems with his sword in hand as he slashed at him while two other guards tried to stab it from behind only for it to flip over them and kill the two guards by punching through their chests. The remaining guard tried to land a hit on the putty as he slashed nonstop but it was useless as it leapt back. The golem was too agile for him to ever hope of winning the fight.
The Putty Patroller snatched up one of the dead guard’s swords and hurled it at the guard. The guard managed to smack the sword out of the air with his own just before it could hit him.
Unfortunately, the golem took advantage of this moment and slammed hard punch to his throat before he could even react. Crushing his wind pipe. The guard thrashed around before succumbing to death.
Another group of guards were decimated by a group of putties that ganged up on them.
On another part of the battlefield a group of guards managed to at least take out a small group of putties by ganging up on them and shooting them down with magic. Unfortunately, the putties started to focus all of their attacks on the magic users, seeing them as the biggest threats.
Celestia and Luna were cutting down any putty that attacked them or got in their way. Celestia slashed one of the golems in half with her sword before blasting an entire group of them with her magic. Luna punched one of the putties in the face, cracking the golems face mask before grabbing it by the leg and swinging it around like a club, pulverizing any and all of the golems that got in her way as she repelled more of them with her magic.
The two sisters were beginning to feel slightly winded as they realized they had only taken down a quarter of these alien creatures since they were summoned.
But before the two sisters and the guards could continue their attack the remaining putties were torn apart by heavy gun fire. Celestia and Luna jumped stood in awe as they saw the giant mechanical dragon that had just defeated the giant monster gun down all of the putties with a set of heavy duty miniguns that protruded from its shoulders.
The sisters were amazed at the perfect aim of the machine. Never missing a shot and never hitting any of her guards or civilians.
The loud gunfire died down as the last of the putties fell to the ground in shreds of clay.
Everypony stared at the giant mechanical creature, at the very top they saw its pilot standing atop of its head looking down on the now eerily silent battlefield that was the quaint little town.
“Sister, is this the warrior that Tommy called a power ranger?” Luna asked.
“I-I believe so.” Celestia said as they watched the warrior.
The whole town watched in anticipation.
Tommy looked down on the small settlement. His mind was racing, Goldar was back which meant that Rita would be close behind. Pulling the strings from behind the scenes. No matter where it went, it seemed his past would always come back to haunt him.
He watched the inhabitants of this world. He saw the fear and the desperation in their eyes. They never seen enemies like this before and they didn’t know how to fight them. They relied on their princesses or the elements of harmony to fight any and all threats. But the threats this world faced were nothing compared to what they were facing now. A planetary invasion.
He knew what Rita was doing. She was testing the waters. Trying to see how much resistance this world would put up while she got her forces ready. He didn’t know what she was planning, but he had a decision to make. But his heart had made the decision for him long ago, the day he was defeated by the other rangers and freed from Rita’s spell.
He would defend this world with everything he had to his dying breath.
Some of the Pegasus guards are making their way towards us with the two princesses following. You want to talk to them?
“No, I’m already going to be under a lot of suspicion now of being the green ranger considering I’m the only human here.” Tommy sighed trying to think of a way to throw any suspicion off before the Dragon Ceaser answered him as he marched towards the lake.
Don’t worry, way ahead of you on that. The giant mechanical dragon answered telepathically before explaining.
Faust has another guy helping her out. Looks like a picaso painting face fucking a bunch of different animals. He’s the one who brought me back. Calls himself Discord. All you need to do is teleport out of here.
“Alright. I trust you my friend. It’s good to fight alongside you again.” Tommy smiled behind his visor.
Same here. Now I must rest.
Tommy teleported away just as the zord began to submerge itself beneath the lake at the edge of town.
Tommy landed back in the Everfree forest where he was last seen fighting by the girls. Making sure no one was around he powered down.
No longer in his ranger form he collapsed to the ground in pain as he felt the full effects of his wounds setting in.
“Dammit. I’m definitely going to feel this in the morning.” He groaned in pain.
“I wouldn’t doubt it. Considering how you like to play the role of a hero and such.” A voice said.
The man looked to see what could only be described as a mismatch of animals combined into one being that wore a mismatched suit.
“I’m guessing you’re Discord. Wow, he was right about the whole Picasso thing.” He said.
“That’s a low blow.” Discord deadpanned.
“Dragon Ceaser said you could help me?” Tommy asked.
“Yep, all you have to do is just play along with what I say.” Discord answered and snapped his fingers before Tommy could say anything further Tommy was teleported away alongside Discord.
They appeared in front of the girls and the princesses.
But what struck Tommy as strange was the fact that he was being carried by a copy of himself in his green power ranger form.
The second the girls saw him the girls all rushed to him and immediately began helping him.
Before Celestia and Luna could even say anything to what they thought was the green ranger, he disappeared in a bolt of green lightning. The princesses turned their attention to the injured human in front of them.
“We need to get him to the hospital with the rest of the wounded.” Celestia ordered her guards who were trying to carry the man to the hospital despite his protest. Luckily Discord intervened.
With a snap of his fingers Tommy’s injuries were healed completely.
While thankful for what Discord did, the two alicorns were curious as to why the spirit of chaos was here.
“What are you doing here Discord?” Celestia asked.
“I happened to pop in when I saw a bunch of commotion going on and before I knew it I saw a mechanical beast fighting a giant monster like something from a Saturday morning cartoon. I found your friend here face down in a pool of his own blood. You’re lucky I got to him in time.” Discord explained sincerely despite lying through his teeth.
Celestia and Luna quickly changed their attention to the man in worry.
“What were you thinking taking on Chrysalis!” Rarity shouted.
“I was protecting you girls.” He answered sheepishly.
“By trying to get yourself killed!?” Barbara answered with an upset tone.
“Well it was better than me doing nothing.” He said.
At this point the girls all began to complain about how reckless he was and how he should have let the guards handle it.
“Despite the danger you put yourself in Tommy, you saved many lives today.” Celestia said with a smile.
“Big Mac helped me.” Tommy added.
“We are well aware. You shall both be rewarded for your service.” Luna stated with a smile.
“Did you see him Tommy! Did you see him! The green power ranger was here! He was like pew, pew, hiya!” Pinkie Pie added as she pantomimed the moves.
“Yeah, I saw him. It’s been years since I last saw him.” Tommy stated.
“Really! Are you friends with him? Does he like parties?” Pinkie asked with a huge smile.
Tommy thought carefully before answering, knowing that Applejack would be able to sense a lie from a mile away.
“Yes, you could say that we are friends. We just haven’t seen each other in a long time and yes he does if my memory serves right.” He answered.
“You know him? What was that giant mechanical beast that was fighting that monster?” Celestia asked, trying to get as much information on the events that just happened.
“That was the Dragonzord. A giant mechanical dragon that fights at the Green Ranger’s side whenever those monsters grow big like that. That thing he was fighting was Goldar, one of Rita’s top generals.” He explained feeling the events of the day kicking in.
“You mean to tell us those things grow to that size?!” Luna gasped as her and her sister grew wide eyed at what they were hearing.
“In most cases, yes.” He added with a sigh as he remembered how many times Rita’s monsters grew to giants after they thought they had won. The only way to stop the monsters from growing big was to kill them before Rita could throw her staff at them.
“Tommy, I know that you have been through a lot today but I must ask for your assistance. You are the only one who knows anything about these alien things. I have no idea why they would be teaming up with Chrysalis. But we need all the help we can get. You have the technology and the know how that could help save our world.” Celestia pleaded.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you in any way that I can.” He said to the two princesses, making them smile and sigh in relief.
“Twilight!” A voice called.
Twilight turned to see her older brother Shining Armor running towards her.
“SHINY!” She called out as she tackled him in a hug. Making everyone smile.
Tommy took his eyes off of the family reunion for a moment and saw off in the distance the Royal Guard gathering up the dead bodies of their fellow guards and covering them with sheets. He overheard one of them say that there were no civilian casualties, but around 131 guards did lose their lives in the attack unfortunately. He could only feel regret at not being able to help them. But unfortunately, in any battle, casualties were inevitable.
He snapped out of his thoughts when he saw the white furred stallion with a mane that had two shades of blue walking towards him that Twilight called ‘Shiny’.
“I heard you were the alien that protected my sister Twilight and her friends. Names Shining Armor. You have my thanks.” He said as he held out his hand.
Tommy reached out and shook his hand.
“I’m always there for my friends.” Tommy said with a smile.
“Glad to hear it. I hear you’ve dealt with these guys before.” Shining asked.
“I have, it’s been years but I have a few ideas on how to start helping out.” He answered.
“What are your ideas?” Luna asked.
“We need to advance Equestria’s technological level. My people are very advance when it comes to technology but we have no magic. Imagine if you all were to combine some of my worlds technology with your magic.” He answered.
“Yes, that could work. But we would need some access to some of your books as well as your technology.” Celestia said.
“I have to go through the books and tech first. I don’t want you guys blowing yourselves up by stumbling onto something that even I don’t know how to work.” He answered.
“What about the Green Ranger? You said you were friends with him. Is there any way you can contact him?” She asked.
“Unfortunately, no. I haven’t seen him for years until today. I wouldn’t know how to contact him now days.” The young man said, making sure that Applejack could not see his face when he said this. (11)
“But I can tell you this. He will not stop fighting until everyone is safe.” He said.
“We can tell.” Celestia said, feeling a little relief at the fact.
But she couldn’t help but worry over this new threat. Many questions were going through her head. Why were the changelings working with them? What was this Goldar capable of? Who was this Rita he was working for? Those were only some of the many questions rushing through her mind.
Tommy had just given Celestia and Luna a generous number of books on science and other things that would help as well as pieces of technology in order to help Equestria with its technological advancement. The princesses made copies of the books with her magic, enough to supply her research team. But she made sure to make some copies for Twilight as well. Making her jump for joy.
Celestia had just contacted the other nations and set up an emergency meeting for them to meet and discuss this new threat. The meeting would take place in a week. Celestia and Luna were smart enough to know that they would need to share whatever information and technology they can come across. Within reason of course.
Twilight laid in her bed, stroking Barbara head absent mindedly as she slept right next to her bed. Despite how big and brave she acted, Barb was still scared of what had happened that day which lead to her sleeping in Twilight’s bed.
The princesses had put an increase of guards in ponyville as well as Luna’s elite night guard. In fact, security was increased all over the country.
Twilight was naturally worried like the rest of her friends. But right now, she had her nose buried in the journal she found in Tommy’s library.
She had thought he was the green ranger but seeing the power ranger standing in front of her while bringing tommy to them made her question that. But Twilight wasn’t so easily deterred. She knew Discord was capable of many things, for all they knew he might have used chaos magic to stage the whole scene.
But as she thought about it some more. She remembered what she read about them earlier when Tommy gave them some books.
There was more than one ranger. For all she knew he could be one of the other rangers. But why didn’t he use his powers? Celestia did say that she sensed Tommy was on the same level as her and Luna when it came to power, maybe even stronger. This was nerve wracking for her. She needed to know!
She opened the journal to where she left off last time.
Log #8
Sorry, I haven’t written in this thing for the past month. A lot has happened. Just yesterday I was approached by some government agents. They wanted to talk with me but I can tell something was up. They offered us a bunch of cash to work for them. We didn’t take it of course. The one leading them calls herself Agent Smith. She says she’s with the CIA.
I don’t trust her at all. She told us the government wanted to team up with us. But I don’t think she’s telling us everything. We’re going to meet with them in a week at city hall to discuss this so called ‘team up’.
The others are worried about it being a trap. I don’t blame them, but Zordon will just teleport us out of there should anything go wrong.
Twilight paused for a moment.
“Who’s Zordon?” she asked herself, realizing that this could have been the actual leader of the power rangers.
Log #9
I just got back from the meeting, it didn’t go too well. To make the long story short, they wanted us to work for them. We already knew what they were planning. A certain book warm, science loving friend of ours hacked their systems. They want us to work for them as their own personal weapons.
We gave them some of the technology that we found. Hopefully that will give them a fighting chance now. That should also buy us some time. I know they’re planning something. The question is what?
I’ve thinking about what the general said. He was right. We can’t be everywhere at once. Which made me think of something. What if we were to create a network of other power rangers, I mean how awesome would that be, a whole freaking army of rangers charging into battle.
But seriously, that would make things so much easier for us. We could call in back up, receive intel on monster attacks happening in other parts of the world. As well as have a whole network for us to operate through.
The only problem is, we are the only power rangers in existence. Maybe I should talk to Zordon about this.
Twilight read through many more logs until she came to one in particular that caught her eye.
Log #21
It’s been a six month since the meeting with the government officials. We haven’t had contact with them again until now.
A few days ago, I was hunting down a group of putty patrollers. But by the time I got there, they were gone without a trace. I looked around the place for a bit, but I felt like I was being watched.
Then ‘they’ came out of nowhere. Billy said there was a file that he couldn’t even access in the fed’s database. Some guys dressed in armor similar to our power armor. They tried to kill me. I managed to defeat them. By the time the others managed to get there, they saw me barely able to stand. I barely managed to survive.
This was the first time I’ve ever taken a human life.
Twilight couldn’t help but feel sorry for the ranger. Being so young and having to go through all of this no less.
She put the book away for the night as she felt herself getting sleepy.
She couldn’t help but wonder. Why did Tommy have this Journal?
“MOTHER FUCKER! WHY! WHY! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE HIM OF ALL PEOPLE!!! JUST FOR ONCE! ONCE! WHY CAN’T THINGS GO MY WAY!!!” Atir screeched as she was in her private chambers with Goldar laying bandaged in a bed.
Atir dropped her disguise as she ranted nonstop. Revealing her to be a human looking witch.
“Empress Rita, would you please calm down.” Goldar said as he rolled his eyes at her antics.
“I WILL NOT CALM DOWN YOU BUFFOON!!! IT’S YOUR FAULT YOU LOST TO HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!” Rita screamed in a very annoying voice.
“You were the one who made him the green ranger in the first place.” He mumbled.
“WHAT WAS THAT?!”
“Nothing. What do we do now?” Goldar asked as he was recovering. The changelings thought his true form was just him using a very advanced form a transformation magic, Chrysalis was still unconscious but she would easily by the lie since Rita used strange magics she’s never seen before and will chalk it up to that.
None of the changelings knew that Atir was just a disguise Rita was using to hide her true form. Thankfully Rita sealed the doors with her magic to make sure no one walked in and saw her in her true form. As far as the changelings and Chrysalis knew, she was still Atir, the fallen changeling Queen.
“I don’t know. I’ll need a moment to think. Dammit, as we speak the green ranger is probably already forming a plan to take us down.” Rita fumed.
The power rangers were the biggest threat to her and her plans but the green ranger was the deadliest out of all of them. Somehow, he managed to get his powers back. She had to make preparations. But thankfully she already had someone who would help her with that.
A white furred being stepped out of the shadows, the being was dressed in blue robes and looked elderly. It looked like it was part dog and something else entirely unknown. It had long pointed ears and a set of glasses that rested on the bridge of it's snout. The final piece of it's outfit was a royal blue headband.
"Finster! What kept you so long!" Rita growled
"I'm sorry my Empress, but I had to make sure everything was okay on the ship and that it was well hidden. None of the inhabitants of this world suspect a thing." Finster apologized.
"I beg to differ on that." Goldar snorted as he tried to move from the bed only to collapse back on it.
"What do you mean?" Finster asked with confusion.
"Equestria has found out about us and Celestia is going to meet with the other world leaders. The changelings still think we're changelings ourselves but from this point on we are going to have to up our game by a lot." Rita said as she managed to calm herself down. Slightly.
"What? How did this happen, you're plan was perfect my lady!" Finster said with worry at the plan failing.
"It was, if it weren't for a particular power ranger showing up." She groaned.
"They're here! How many?" He asked.
"One."
"Just one. That's not so bad." He said.
"...It's Tommy Oliver, the original green ranger." The space witch deadpanned.
"Oh dear." He said with worry.
"That is why I am in need of your skills." She said as an evil smile spread across her lips.
"I am at you're service my lady." He said as he bowed his head in respect.
"What kind of monster's do you wish for Empress Rita?" He asked.
She thought for a moment as she tapped her chin for as she thought for a moment.
"I don't mind them being a little goofy every now and then as long as they are able to get the job done, but I really feel like a Lovecraftian horror theme would be nice too. You know, scaring them to insanity all the while killing them. Plus they are kind of interesting." Rita said as she talked about the subject as if she were shopping with her husband for furniture. He always did get annoyed at how long she took to decide.
"In the end it really is up to you. This is more your area of expertise."
"As you wish my lady. But it will take a while." Finster said to which she nodded. He bowed his head before he walked out of the room.
"I'm on to you Tommy. I know that as we speak, you are planning and readying yourself for battle against me. Probably coming up with thousands of battle strategies. But I will not be so easily defeated." Rita thought
Meanwhile Tommy was a sleep at his computer desk, he had been tired after the day’s events. Not only did he fight in a giant monster battle but he helped the princesses by giving them some books on technology and science as well as some military books. He had to help the royal guards sort through them to make sure they were getting the right ones.
Tommy groggily woke up and looked at the computer screen. The light from the computer screen dimly lighting the room.
He stared at the monitor for a moment, remembering the day’s events before coming to a conclusion.
“Life can’t get any more complicated.” He groaned.
At that moment, a video chat window opened up and he saw his mother and father on the screen.
“TOMMY!” His mother cried in worry at finally seeing her missing son.
“WHERE ARE YOU!” His father asked with worry.
“Correction, it just did.” Tommy groaned before letting his head hit the desk in exhaustion. (12)
