The country no, the entire world was completely covered in dark shadow and ruled by a ruthless monster. No creature was safe from this wrath: Ponies, Hippogriffs, Dragons, not even other evil creatures. They were all enslaved to do his will, and if there were any who refused they would suffer an unfortunate fate. Many Brave and strong warriors attempted to defeat him, but none prevailed. However, there was one group of Legendary Knights with great powers & even greater fighting skills. They confronted the monster to end the nightmare once and for all. The battle was so great that the entire planet shook, but despite their best efforts, it just wasn’t enough. But these Knights were not going to give up without a fight & with one last attack they were finally able to defeat him, at the cost of their own lives. However the evil monster was not completely destroyed, miraculously there was one Knight still alive and with the last of his strength separated the evil monster’s spirit from his body, draining him of all his powers and banishing him to a prison deep within the planet’s core. The world was finally free and the Legendary Knights were hailed as heroes. But the last surviving Knight knew the evil would return one day, so he swore on his honor that he would not go to the great beyond until the evil monster was vanquished once and for all. In return, the Legendary Knights relinquished their swords so that they may be passed down to the next generation of heroes. The knight waited, waited, and waited, knowing that if he and the new knights failed not only would the world be domed, but the entire universe would as well.” Equestria had enjoyed its longest time of peace in years. The last major threat Cozy Glow was imprisoned in Tartarus, and there hasn’t been any major threats sense, and Princess Twilight Sparkle was going to be Crowned the new ruler of Equestria in just a few short months. All Villains were gone & Equestria was going to be in peace for a long time, or so they thought. Deep in the Badlands: A hooded figure was walking to a grave marker that was broken in half, covered in dust, and the name was unreadable. The only parts figure's faces that could be seen were his eyes & mouth. He pulled down this right sleeve revealing a massive black hand that was 3 times as big as a Griffin’s claw. The hand had 5 razor-sharp spikes for fingers, the spikes were a foot long at least. “At last after 1000 years my master will return and Equestria will fall.” Said the hooded figure who spoke with a German accent. “Now with The Eye of The Arimaspi, 7 Unicorn Horns, The Staff of Sacanas, and My Own Dark Magic I will resurrect the father of Monsters!!!!” Dark storm clouds covered the sky & the ground shook as the 7 Unicorn horns focused blasted their magic onto The Staff of Scanas. Then the staff blasted the grave marker causing the bones of a creature to start to rise from the grave and glow in a gold & black aura surrounding the bones. “Now Eye of The Arimaspi finds his spirit so he may live again!!!!” He said screaming in the dark sky. But just then something strange happened, the ground started to crack open & black fire came up from the cracks. “What’s happening?” Then a huge geyser of Dark & Powerful Magic came out right below the bones. “No My Master!!!” He tried to use the Black hand to stop the geyser, but the geyser grabbed his hand and seemed to drain his magic. “No let go of meeeee aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa kkkkkkk!!!!!!!” The Hooded Figure said as he tried to pull his hand away there was a massive explosion that sent him flying and landing hard on some sharp rocks and knocking him out cold. When he woke up his head was pounding, he looked up to see a silhouette of a goat standing above him. “Wh-wh-what who are you?” He asked “I am your new master.” The silhouette said in a chilling voice. Unknown Location: A pair of blue eyes shot open. “So he has finally returned.” He said. He then looked to 6 Swords. “Then it is time” He raised his hand and Swords floated to him. “Go choose the Warriors Go!” With that, the Sword flew into the sky in a flash. “And so the War of begins again. Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, In a world running out of time, we must fight to survive, against an ancient evil that must die. There is only one team that can send this evil back a group of Legendary Knights.

Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers Knights of war!!!!!! Commercial Ponyville: The Friendship Express had just made it stop. Standing in front of the station was a teenage, male, Earth Pony named Sandbar. He had a Pale, light grayish spring bud coat, light sea-green eyes, a short tale & a fuzzy mane that was Light cyan and Moderate opal, and his Cutie Mark was Three Sea Turtles. He was waiting for his friends, and when the train door opened there they were. A light blue griffin with a light yellow underbelly, and amber claws and beak Named Gallus. An orange & Golden Dragon Named Smolder. A brown and very hairy Yak named Yona who also wore a light green saddle on her back and 2 pink ribbons that held her braids together. A Pink Hippogriff named Silverstream who wore a tiny piece of a magic pearl around her neck that could change any creature into anything. And Finally, a cute little blue Changeling named Ocellus. “Hey, guys it’s great to see you again. Are you ready for the new year?" He asked his friends “Oh yeah, another of studying, test & pop quizzes,” Gallus said rolling his eyes. “Oh come on Gallus I’m sure it won't be that bad.” Ocellus said putting a hoof on his back. “Easy for you to say, you actually like to study.” Said Smolder “Yeah, you're like a mini Headmare Twilight,” Gallus said causing Ocellus to blush. “Oh come on Gallus you love to study, after all, you got the second-highest score in the Final Test of Magical History Class.” Silverstream Teased. “What? No that's because the questions were mostly True or False and there were a lot of questions about Griffinstone.” Gallus said slightly annoyed. “Rigggght.”The five all say at the same time before laughing. “Well haha, we better get to the hahaha school so Gallus can become the School of Friendship's new top student.” Said Sandbar. This caused an even bigger laugh of the group that Gallus himself joined in. Later The Young 6 were walking through Ponyville to the School of Friendship. “So are you guys ready for the new year?” Sandbar asked “As long as evil filly Pegasus is not there Yona is more than ready.” Smolder nodded “Agreed and no Chancellor Neighsay." “Oh come on, last year was so much fun the mystery, the action, fighting evil I can’t wait to see whooff!!” Silverstream in her usual excitement failed to see the pony in her path. "Silverstream are you okay?” Gallus asked Silverstream rubbed her head “Ow I think so. But what about him?” The young 6 looked to see the pony their friend crashed into. He was a male Pegasus, with dark green fur & black stripes on his legs, neck, and top of his head. His front mane was straight & well combed, but his back was sticky like a porcupine the color was green and black. His tail was straight and long most black but with some green in there. He also had a big black goatee and sideburns that cover most of his bottom face. His Cutie Mark was a dark storm cloud shooting lighting. He wore a black hoodie & on the ground was his Pandora hat which had black with green diamond shapes. He then slowly got up and dusted himself off. “Where’s my hat?" “Umm Mr.? The Green Pegasus turned around to see Silverstream holding his head and looking very sad.” “Oh thank you.” Said the Green Pegasus “Sorry about that,” Silverstream said looking very sorry “Oh don’t worry about it, besides nothing like crashing into somepony to wake you up in the morning am I right?” He said chuckling.“ “Any way I could use your help, do you know where The School of Friendship is?" The Green Pegasus asked “Actually yes. In fact, we were just heading there ourselves.” Said Sandbar “Yeah, it’s right next door to the Princess of Friendship’s Castle. Smolder then pointed. “How did I miss that?” The Green Pegasus asked “I don't know, maybe you need glasses,” Gallus suggested “Note to self get my eyes checked.” Said The Green Pegasus They then started to walk/fly to the school. “Yona has questions, what is green Pegasus name & is green Pegasus going to be teaching at the School of Friendship?” “Well to start let me introduce myself my name is Lightning Wing and no, I stink at teaching.” This got confused looks from The Young 6. “Wait, if you're not teaching then why are you going to The School of Friendship?” Asked Ocellus “Well, you will just have to see when we get there." Lightning Wing said with a cocky smile.” Ocellus looked confused “Umm okay.” They arrived at the school of Friendship. It was a castle-like building, surrounded by water. There were 3 different paths to get to the school, one straight stone path to the front door, and 2 rock paths on the right & left sides. The School had colors of purple, pink, and dark blue, and 2 waterfalls between the front door. “It’s amazing.” Said, Lightning Wing Ocellus nodded “I know and there is no other school like it in all of Equestria.” “Well, it’s time to start a new year.” Gallus Said “That’s the spirit, Gallus!" Said Silverstream Lightning Wing took a deep breath and knocked at the door but that’s when something strange caught his eye. "WHAT IN THE WORLD?!!?!? Out of nowhere 6 beams of light came and were heading straight from them. "What is this---. Silverstream never finished her sentence because she and her friends disappeared in a flash. "Okay Ummm, what just happened, and where are the students? '' Said a light purple unicorn female, with a purple mane & tail with a light bluish-green streak on both. The Green Pegasus just stood there looking completely dumbfounded. Commercial A Dead and rotting swamp: The swamp was lifeless no animals, no ponies, no sound, nothing. Then a black portal opened and the hooded figure came out. “Hhhhere iiiiiiiit iiiis mmmmy mmmmaster.” The Hooded Figure said, sounding absolutely terrified while holding his claw-like hand. In front of him was a cavernous in the shape of a goat and it seemed to be older than Equestria itself. “Very well it will do.” His eyes then opened, as he threw down bones, axes, and pieces of armor. “Now resurrect them.” Said The silhouette Goat “But master a need a minute to aaaaak.” The Hooded Figure said before being blasted “I don’t care about your wellbeing.” JUST RESURRECT THEM NOW!!!!!” Screamed The silhouette Goat “Yes…my…master.” Said the Hooded Figure with a wave of his hand, the bones, axes, and pieces of armor began to glow. Slowly bones came together, muscles & skin grew back. Then armor came on, and finally, their axes were restored “Their orcs?” Dark Claw asked The orcs themselves were big, green, ugly, had huge fangs & teeth, and armor on their legs, arms, and head. “Where alive?” One of them asked. “Yes, you are.” The Orc then looked in complete shock at what they saw. But then immediately bowed. All the Orcs then bowed “Master.” “It is good to see you again master.” “Yes, I'm sure it is.” “Now to your mission.” “Dark Claw show them.” The silhouette Goat said “Yes, my master.” The hooded Figure now known as Dark Claw raised his hand again to open another portal. His face and voice showed he was, in incredible pain. The portal showed the entrance to Everfree Forest. “In That Forest is a great and powerful magic. I Want you to find it and destroy it.” “Do not fail me or else." The silhouette Goat commended. “Yes sir.” Said all the Orcs. They then all charged into the portal. “Now my revenge will finally begin.” The silhouette Goat Said with an evil smile Unknown Location: The 6 beams of light appeared but then slowly deemed down revealing the Young 6.“--is something kind of new welcome?” Said Silverstream She then looked confused. "Umm weren’t we just at the school?” Sandbar looked around “We were a second ago.” “Okay, this is just weird. First Silverstream crashes into a green pegasus named Lighting Wing, then strange lights come out of nowhere, and I think we just been kidnapped.” Said Smolder “What kidnapped?” “Oh no, what are we going to do?” Ocellus said sounding scared “Yak knows what to do! Yak is going to find the kidnapper and yak is going to smash them!!!” “Now I don’t think that would be very wise.” Said a voice “Who's there? I’m warning you I have raiser Sharpe griffin talons and I’m not afraid to use them.” Said, Gallus “Yeah and I also have fire breath, so if you don’t want to be burned, you better show yourself,” Smolder said. “Of course warrior.” Said the Voice Smolder was confused “Warrior?” Suddenly a very large and long sword appeared and then stood upon its sharp end by itself. Then slowly something or someone began to materialize. A creature that stood on not 4 but 2 legs. He was 6 feet tall covered in some silver armor, and instead of hooves, claws, or even talons, he had 5 flat-looking claws that lay on top of the sword handle. He also wore a helmet that covered his head, the only part of his face that was visible were his eyes which were closed. He then opened his eyes which then went wide. “Welcome warr ... what the chosen warriors are 6 children?!?!!?” “Now Yona smashes kidnapper!!!!” Yona said charging. “Wait I think there's been a kkgg!!!” He said before Yona smashed into him and sent him crashing hard into a wall. But then got up like the yak’s attack was nothing. “Wow, you're strong for someone so young.” “No way.” Sandbar said as he looked shocked. He’s never seen any creature shake off a yak charge before. “Okay, buster let’s see how you like this!!” Smolder inhaled then shot out a big blast of her fire breath. Before the fire cloud hit him, the strange creature held up his arm and the fire stopped and was put out when he closed his hand. “Look if you would please just listen to….” “Listen to this!” Smolder said while charging with Yona. The strange creature grabbed Smolder by the chest pinning her arms to her sides, then before Yona could hit him again, he put his metal foot in front of her, and when Yona hit it she stopped dead in her tracks. “Hey, freak let Smolder go,” Gallus said while flying to him and getting ready to attack with his raiser Sharpe griffin talons. “Oh for the love of peace.” He said, rolling his eyes. Then threw Yona and Smolder back, and held his hands up, and said "Magicae Clypeus." Just then a giant light blue shield appeared in front of Gallus and he hit face first hard, then slowly slid down off of it like a bug on a windshield. “Owww,” Gallus said in pain The strange creature’s hand glowed, causing Gallus to glow as well. Then was lifted and gently was put back with his friends. Silverstream catches him in her arms, “Gallus are you okay?” She asked him “Did anypony get the number of the shield?” Gallus asked, sounding disoriented. “It doesn't have a number, but the name of it is magicae clypeus.” Said the Knight “I was being sarcastic you freak!!!” Said, Gallus Smolder smirk “Okay it’s time for round 2!!” “Ready” “Yona always ready!!" “Gallus wait don’t do it,” Silverstream said as Gallus got ready to attack again. “Nobody HURTS MY FRIENDS!!!” Ocellus said while turning into a giant winged bug with a stinger. “Guys I don’t think he's going to hurt us!!” Sandbar yelled ”STOP!” The Knight's held out his hand & his voice echoed throughout the room. After that, it was as if the Young 6 were frozen time with Ocellus & Gallus in the air without flapping their wings. The strange creature took a deep breath after that. “Okay now listen, I believe that this whole thing is just a big misunderstanding.” “I understand you're scared.” “You are in an unknown place, talking to a strange creature with amazing powers, and you all have been kidnapped.” “Now maybe if we can just cooperate, we can figure out why and how you got here because if I'm being honest I have absolutely no idea." He said in a very calming voice.” “So are we ready to talk?” There was no answer. “Oh, right frozen in time hahaha.” With a wave of his hand, their heads were free. “And we are supposed to trust you why?" Smolder asked “Maybe because he hasn’t tried to attack once?” Sandbar pointed out “Sandbar makes a fair point.” Said Yona "Fine.” Said Smolder Ocellus nodded “Okay I can talk." “Whatever,” Gallus said rolling his eyes “Perfect.” He said before snapping his fingers causing Ocellus & Gallus to fall on top of the other Young 6. “Ow, my tail.” Silverstream Said “Now how exactly did you get here?” Asked The Knight “We were brought here by some weird lights.” Said, Gallus “Did you say weird lights?” The Knight said while eyes widened again. “Yeah 1 second we were in front of The School of Friendship, and then some weird lights come down & poof now we're here.” Said Silverstream “So the lights did they look anything like those?” The Knight asked pointing behind them. “Look like WHAT IN EQUESTRIA?!!?!?” Sandbar along with everyone in the room was in shock 6 swords were floating in mid-air. Then each sword floated in front of one of the members of The Young 6 “This is too strange.” Said Ocellus “Back off sword or Yona will smash you.” The Knight was shocked. “ Then it’s true?” “You 6 are the chosen Warriors?” “The fate of the word in the hand of children?” “Hold on buster you owe us some answers.” “What’s going on here, where are we, how did we get here, who are you, what's with the swords, what do you mean the fate of the world, and what are hands?” Gallus asked, Seeming very confused about the last question. “Of course, you do deserve that much.” "Now listen to me very carefully, for what I’m about to tell you has never been told to another living soul.” Said the Knight “Nice beginning.” Smolder Said He basically told them the whole beginning Narration of this story. “I can’t tell you where you are right now, You were brought here by the swords of those 6 Legendary Knights, I am one of those Legendary Knights, my name is Johnson, and as for what hands are it's this thing.” He said pointing to his left hand. After he was finished there was nothing but silence among the group. "Wow, they handled all of that much better than I thought." Johnson thought to himself. Then The Young 6 burst out into a fit of laughter. “Yeah, that's what I thought.” Johnson thought to himself. Commercial They were still laughing. “Hahaha wow and I thought Silverstream came out with some crazy stories ha ha ha.” Sandbar said while laughing “Come on ever haha I wouldn’t be able to come up with a story that boners hahaha,” Silverstream said while laughing “ Hehehe, umm no offense Mr. Johnson.” “But for your story to be true, you would have to be older than Starswirl The Bearded or .....” Ocellus and the rest of the Young 6 froze as Johnson walked right through Ocellus. “Y-y-y-your a-a-a-a g-g-ghost?” “2000-year-old spirit to be exact.” “Now that has been established we can .......!!!!" Johnson then froze. "Umm, are you okay?” Sandbar asked “It's the Dark One he’s sending his minions to destroy.” Said Johnson Gallus rolled his eyes “Wow great, look umm Johnson I really love to care about The Evil One, minions, and magic sword, but none of that concerns me...” He said about to walk away “But it does concern you.” “Because the minions are going to destroy The Tree of Harmony!!!!” Johnson said "WHAT!!?!??!?” The Young 6 screamed in shock all at the same time. Ocellus looked scared “But if The Tree of Harmony is destroyed then..” “All of Equestria will suffer I know.” “Which is why you have stopped them.” Said Johnson Sandbar was confused. "Us but we don’t even know...” “I’m sorry but there is no time to argue.” And with a snap of Johnson's fingers, the young 6 were gone. “I hope they can do this. The Tree of Harmony: “Okay, this is getting ridiculous!” “Can somepony please tell me what’s going on?!?!?” Smolder Asked in anger “Well, well, well what do we have here?” Asked one of the Orcs The Young 6 looked to see over a dozen Orcs in front of them and noticed that The Tree of Harmony was right behind them. “I guess that guy wasn’t kidding when he said there is no time to argue.” Said Sandbar “This is officially the weirdest day of life.” Said, Gallus “That does not matter right now Gallus.” "Right now monsters are looking to destroy Tree of Harmony and Yona is not going to let that happen!” “Your right Yona it’s time to kick some but,” Smolder said cracking her claws. “Nobody’s destroying any trees today!” Said Ocellus “I’m with you guys all the way!" Said Silverstream “Weird day or not you freaks are going down!” Gallus Said “Let’s do this!” Said Sandbar “Okay, I guess we can have a little fun before destroying that tree.” One of the Orcs said, “Let’s get them!!!”The battle began with Smolder’s fire breath hitting a few in the face. Yona charged into one, then another, then another, then another, until 5 orcs were stacked together in a straight line that was about the crash into the wall. “Sometimes I hate my life.” One of the Orcs said before crashing “Eat this freaks!!” Gallus said flying up high then coming down like a WW2 jet with missiles. A group of orcs was knocked around like bowling pins by Gallus. “Ha not so tough now are you?’ “No, we're tougher.” Then one of the orcs grabbed Gallus behind. “Put me down!” Said, Gallus "Oh okay.” Gallus was slammed down to the ground by the Orc “Oh no, Gallus!” Ocellus said. She then changed into a Cragadile. She walked through a few orcs knocking back with her large tail and big teeth. But one swing of the ax to her left leg stopped her. She changed back and was holding her leg in pain. “Hang on Ocellus!” Yona & Smolder said at the same time but were stopped by the orcs. Yona got dogpiled and Smolder hit in the back with an ax. Thankfully her thick dragon scales were too strong for the ax to do any damage, but that doesn't mean it didn’t hurt. “LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!!!!” Sandbar said at the top of his lungs. Then he hit an orc as hard as the young pony cloud. The Orc just laughed “Hahaha is that all you got?”  Sandbar couldn't believe it. “What?” He was then picked up by the mane and then punched in the gut. “Sandbar!” Silverstream went to help her friend but the orc just went and threw Sandbar right at her. The two of them crashed into the ground in front of the Tree. Silverstream: “They're too strong.”  Ocellus was thrown in front of Silverstream and Sandbar.  “Owww my leg” Ocellus said in pain Yona & Smolder were next to be thrown. “Yaks have never been outpowered.” "I can’t feel my wings,” Smolder said. Gallus was the last one to be thrown to his friends.  “What were we supposed to do Johnson!?!?” He screamed to the sky. Unknown Location: Johnson looked very worried. What are they supposed to do?” “They're just kids, not warriors.” “They are not just kids.” Said a female voice “Who said that?” He then turned around to see a shining and sparkling form of Princess Twilight Sparkle. “How did you get in here?”  It was the Tree of Harmony in the form of Princess Twilight Sparkle. “They are stronger than you think, just watch.” She said walking up beside him. “Now which one of you should die first?” “How about this one?” Said the orc about to swing his ax right at Silverstream.  “Noooo!” Gallus jumped right in front of Silverstream, but just as the ax was about to hit him, something happened. The Sword appeared in Gallus’s claws and the ax broken in half but that wasn't the only thing that happened, Gallus’s eyes went white and a Red aura surrounded his whole body, he then stood up on his back legs.  All Orcs were in shock “What?” So were the Yong 6. “What?” Even Johnson. “WHAT?!?!?” Then the other 5 swords came to the Young 6. "Guys listen up, the only way we are going to beat these freaks is by using the swords,” Gallus said his voice echoing.  “What do you mean?” Silverstream asked “Just do it you have to trust me.” Said, Gallus Knowing that she could trust her friend, Silverstream used the last of her strength to grab the sword. Then her eyes went white and a Pink aura surrounded her whole body, she then stood up on her back legs.  Seeing this the others followed suit. First Smolder who was then surrounded by a black aura. Next Ocellus when she grabbed the sword not only was she surrounded by a Blue aura, but her leg also healed. Then Yona got a Yellow aura, and finally, Sandbar got an Orange aura. “What's going on?” Said one of the Orcs. “I don’t know but I have a feeling we are not going to like it?” Said another Orc “You freaks ready?” Gallus asked with a smile “It’s time for round 2!” Said Smolder. The young 6 charged, Yona Stomped so hard that ground shook and a giant rock came up from the ground which was then kicked by Yona into 7 orcs. Yona then grabbed 2 more in front of her then smashed their head together. Then pointed her sword at another orc then small sharp rocks came out of the like bullets hitting the orcs. Yona pointed to another orc, then another, then another, and another. Meanwhile, Ocellus's speed was amazing, she was going almost fast as Rainbow Dash herself. Not only that but she was somehow making strong winds with her sword. The orcs were flying all over the place the winds were cutting right through their armor while getting beat up as Ocellus turned into a Bite-Acuda, then Pony size Flash Bee, and after that a Manticore. Finally, the remaining orcs could only look as Ocellus turned into an Ursa Minor and she smashed them into the ground with her giant paw. Smolder was turning up the heat literally, her sword was actually on fire. When she slashed at an orc their whole body went up in flames. Her strength had also gotten a boost, now when she punched or kicked an orc she broke right through their armor. She then punched an orc in the face so hard that literally knocked every single tooth out of his mouth. Toothless “Nu miu poutr tegnits.” Translation: No my poor teeth. The orc was then sliced in half, each half was self on fire. Silverstream was surrounded by orcs, however, Silverstream was prepared using her sword she took water from the clouds in the sky and the very air itself to make a large water-like snake that was floating in mid-air. The water-like snake swallowed the orcs whole, Silverstream then used her magic pearl to turn into a Sea pony, she then dived into the water-like snake and became swimming inside of it slashing at all orcs who couldn’t swim at all. After that, she changed the water-like snake into a big way that wiped out even more orcs. Sandbar was able to use swords to make plants grow from the ground like crazy. The plants grabbed the orcs as a giant leaf came up from the ground and lifted Sandbar into the air. Sandbar then jumped off the leaf a diver a drop-kick to an orc one orc was able to get free from the plant, but before he could do anything Sandbar knocked him out with a massive superkick. Then Sandbar jumped from plant to plant taking out every orc with one slash. Gallus did not use any powers at all, however, he didn’t seem to need any. He charged an orc impaling it with his sword, another orc tried to attack him from the left but Gallus has dodged it by doing a back if and stabling the orc in the back. He was a badass slashing and stabbing Orcs like he was doing it for years. Only one orc was left standing. The Young 6 regrouped standing side by side. They pointed their sword at the orc and began to glow. “No please wait!” He begged The swords fired 6 beams which sent the orc flying into the sky. After that, the auras were gone and their eyes were back to normal and then fell onto the ground in exhaustion. “Did that...really...just...just...happen?” Gallus asked, trying to catch his breath. “Yes...it....did...and...it...was...awesome.” Sais Silverstream. Just then bright light came from out of know where and in a flash, there were gone. Unknown Location: “Okay so they have some skill and so did save all magic in Equestria.” “But that doesn’t mean 6 kids can save the world or can stop The Dark One!” Said Johnson. “They are not kids, they are teenagers.” Said The Tree of Harmony“ “And that’s supposed to make me feel better?” “The fate of the world in the hands of 6 overbearing and overemotional creatures!?!?” Asked Johnson, The Tree of Harmony said nothing. Johnson looked annoyed “You just teleported them here and there standing right behind .” The Tree of Harmony nodded. Johnson turned around to see the Young 6 who did not look amused about his last comment. He then put his hand to his face. Johnson sighed. “Look we all had a weird and crazy day so far I know.” “But as you can see the danger is very real, but I think it would be best if we all had some alone time to think.” "You should get back to where you were before all this happened to you. “But we don’t know where we are,” Smolder said “Yes, you do.” The Tree of Harmony said and then showed an air vent to The School of Friendship. Ocellus was shocked “What?” “This underground cave has been here long before The School of Friendship or Tree of Harmony, it’s where I have been resting for the past 2000 years,” Johnson explained. “But now I will have to find a new place, oh and don’t worry I will take good care of the swords.” The swords floated back to him and with a snap of fingers, he was gone. “Great, so he's finally gone.” “Now how are we going to explain what happened to us to Lightning Wing?” Asked Gallus. “Don’t worry I can help.” Said The Tree of Harmony. The young 6 all raised an eyebrow. Headmare Office: Starlight Glimmer was interrogating Lightning Wing who was magically chained to a chair. “For the last time where are the students!?!?”  “For the last time I how am I supposed to know!?!” Lightning Wing said sounding very annoyed.   “Don’t lie to me I saw them disappear and I know you are responsible!”  “How?!?” “I’m a Pegasus, not a unicorn. I can't use magic!!” “True but just last year a filly Pegasus was able to trap me and almost destroyed all the magic in Equestria.” “Okay, that’s just not fair.” “Now tell me where are the students?” “I can answer that.” Said a voice The Tree of Harmony teleported on Starlight's desk. Starlight almost fell out of her seat. “Twilight?” “I am not Twilight I am the Tree of Harmony.” “WHAT!?!?” This time Starlight did fall out of her chair. “No way.” Lightning Wing looked amazed “I teleported them for a test?" She said “A test?” Starlight asked. “Was it multiple choice?” Lightning Wing joked “You see those 6 will be the next projectors of Equestria after Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, & Pinkie Pie. Said the Tree of Harmony. “And when that time comes they will need to be ready, so test them and thankfully they passed.” “I'm sorry if I cost any trouble.” The 6 are in the Library goodbye.” In a flash, she was gone. “Oh man, I hope they're alright.”  Starlight Glimmer was about to head for the library.” “Umm hello?” Lightning Wing was still magically chained to a chair.  “Oops sorry.” Starlight cast a spell and Lighting Wing was free. Lightning Wing grabbed his Pandora hat. “Sorry about all that.” “It’s okay, no hard feelings.” Lightning Wing said. Starlight Glimmer nodded “Right now to find the students.” The two of them headed for the library. Starlight & Lightning Wing found the students at the library where the air vent to the Tree of Harmony roos was. “Oh great, you're all okay.” “Umm, I know you're not okay because The Tree of Harmony tested you, but you passed.” “But you already know because you mmmmmphhh.” Lightning Wing had Starlight’s cover mouth with his hoof. “I think what Ms. Glimmer means to say is, we're glad to see you all not hurt.” Lightning Wing then removed his hoof from Starlight’s mouth. “Right why don’t you go to your living quarters I can imagine you have a lot on your minds.” Starlight said looking worried about her students. “You have no idea,” Gallus said. End of Episode > Power Rangers Knights of War Episode 2: The Legend Begins Part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Power Rangers Knights of War Episode 2: The Legend Begins Part 2 Narrator: Previously on Power Rangers Knights of War, a strange hooded creature named Dark Claw accidentally released an ancient evil that the world had not seen in over 2000 years and threatens to bring the world to its knees. Fortunately, there was hope in the form of a 2000-year-old Knight named Johnson and his 6 Magical Swords, that would bring him 6 great warriors for him to train. But he was more than a little shocked when he discovered that 6 great warriors were instead 6 teenagers. But he was even more shocked when the Young 6 were able to unlock a small part of the magic within the swords. But can these kids be the world’s only hope and do they stand a chance against this evil? Find out today on Dragon Ball Z oops umm I mean on Power Rangers Knights of War!!! It had been a full Week since The Young 6 were tested by The Tree of Harmony to be Equestria’s new protectors after Princess Twilight and her friends. At least that is what Headmare Starlight was told by The Tree of Harmony. But what she didn’t know is that was all a lie. The truth was that The Young 6 were kidnapped by 6 magic swords, met a 2000-year-old knight named Johnson, fought Orcs using the 6 magic swords that gave them incredible powers & fighting skills, and on top of all that, they were told that an ancient evil had returned and they were the only ones that could stop it. So as you can imagine they had a lot on their minds, but try as they might they couldn’t think about anything else.  The School of Friendship: The Young 6 were in their living quarters each in deep thought. “I always wanted to be a hero, to go on missions & save the world just like Princess Twilight and her friends.” “But what that Johnson guy said about us being the world’s only hope, does that mean this bad guy is so powerful that Princess Twilight and her friends can’t stop it?” “But what if we’re not strong enough what will happen to Equestria, Mom & Dad, my little sister Coral Currents, or even Yona.” Sandbar thought as he paced in his room. “I was completely overpowered by those things and we were only able to beat them by holding some magic swords and even then I still have no idea how it happened!” “How in Equestria are we supposed to defeat this so-called Dark One if I can’t even beat his minions?!?!” Smolder asked herself in anger as she punched the wall of her room. The punch was so strong that it created a small hole, and on the side of this small hole was Yona’s room. “Oops.” Said Smolder “Yona knows how dragon feels.” Said Yona’s voice. Smolder peaked through the small hole she made to see Yona. The young yak was sitting on her bed looking down like a sad little puppy dog. “Yona always thought she was one of the strongest Yaks in Yakyakistan.” “Yona also thought that nobody could beat yak if yak was with her friends.” “But now Yona knows she was wrong Yona is weak and her friends are not strong enough to fight evil, not strong enough to win, and not strong enough to save Equestria or World. Yona started to cry, but then Smolder hugged her with Yona returning the hug. “Yona thought Dragons didn’t do hugs.” “This dragon does and the next time those things show their ugly faces again, we will smash them!” Smolder said with a smile. Yona then hugged smolder tighter. “Umm, Yona you’re crushing me. Smolder said her face turning purple. “2000-year-old Knight, amazing magical powers, and another chance to save the world?” “Normally new stuff like this makes me so excited.” “But instead I’m freaking out!!” Silverstream said flying around her room in a panic. “How did we get those amazing magical powers? “How do swords have that kind of power?” “Why did the swords choose us?” “How did the swords choose us? “Are the swords alive?” “There are so many questions and there is no answer!” Just then Silverstream was attacked by a bucket of water. “Silverstream calm down.” Said Ocellus holding the now-empty bucket. “Thanks, Ocellus water always calms me down.” The Hippogriff said while drying herself off. “I know how you feel Silverstream having so many questions and little to no answers.” “That’s why I go to books for the answers.” She said holding a book in Equestrian’s history with a cute little smile on her face. But that smile quickly turned into a frown. “Unfortunately, our answers revolve around a conflict that happened 2000 years ago, which means no book in all of Equestria will have the answers.” “That’s not good,” Silverstream said. “It also means that Princess Celestia doesn’t know about the evil that is coming because it came long before she was born and if she doesn’t know that means that neither does princess Luna or Starts Swirl the Bearded know about it either!” “That’s really not good,” Silverstream said in a nervous tone. “If we are the World’s only hope, then Equestria might be in the biggest danger it has ever been in!” She looked at her friend Silverstream. “Umm Silverstream are you feeling okay?” She asked Silverstream looked like she was about to have a nervous breakdown with her left eye twitching. “Oh don’t you worry I’m fine.” She then grabbed a pillow and then screamed into it in terror. Ocellus then slapped herself on the forehead. “What are we going to do?” Of all of The Young 6, the one who was the deepest in thought was Gallus The Blue Griffin. He had hardly said anything in the past week. He asked his friends to give him some space until the school year started and his friends did just that. Gallus The Blue Griffin was on his bed. Also hard as he tried, he could not stop thinking about what happened last week & what that ghost knight said. “Welcome warr ... what the chosen warriors are 6 children?!?!!?”  “I & my fellow Knights gave our lives to destroy this dark monster so now it is up to you 6 to stop him and so now the fate of the world is in your hands.” Then Gallus was thinking about how one of those orcs was about to swing his ax right at Silverstream, but then the Sword appeared in his claw and how he became a sword fighter. But he still had no idea how it happen or where his friends got those powers. Not that he cared. He then punched his pillow in anger. “This was supposed to be just a normal second year at The School of Friendship.” “But instead me and my friends were kidnapped by a ghost knight who then tells us about some stupid evil from the past and then forces us to fight against some freaks that crushed us until the swords appeared and then all of a sudden we start glowing & get superpowers.” “But it just doesn’t make sense, why us?” “WHY ME!?!?!” “I’m not some warrior and that Johnson guy expects us to save the world just because some so-called magic swords chose us?!?!” “Well nuts to that I already saved the world once and I don’t need to save it again!” “Johnson will just have to find someone else to save the world.” He thought to himself. There was a knock at the door. Gallus opened the door to find Lightning Wing. “Headmare Starlight Glimmer wanted me to get you and your friends it’s time for opening announcements to start the New Year.” Said the Green Pegasus “Great.” Gallus said rolling his eyes.” “Hey look on the bright side school work will keep your mind off of you know what.” He said with a wink. Gallus smiled. “Yeah, I guess your right.” “That’s the spirit!” “Alright, kids let’s go time for school.” And with that Lightning Wing and The Young 6 were on their way to the main hall of The School. Lightning Wing was also keeping an eye out for any strange lights so The Young 6 didn’t disappear on him again. “You know it’s funny Mr. Lightning Wing it’s been a week and you still haven't told us what you are doing here at this school.” Said, Ocellus Lightning Wing just smirked. “Oh don’t worry you’ll see soon enough.” They arrived at the Main Hall where all of the other students were talking & waiting to start the year. Just then Starlight Glimmer & Sunburst walked in and the room immediately quieted down. “Hello, students now as some of you know Princess Twilight will be becoming the new ruler of Equestria soon and won’t be the Headmare of this School anymore.” “But don’t worry she has put me in charge of the school now.” “As such there will be a few changes, so please help me welcome some of our new faculty starting with the new Vice Headstallion Sunburst. He was a male orange unicorn, with a reddish-orange mane and beard that was not very well combed. He also wore a pair of glasses and a blueish-green cape with stars on it. “And your new Guidance Counselor The Grrrrreat and Powerful Trrrrrixie!!!!!” Said an over-the-top female voice. Just then a small magical firework explosion with purple smoke and when the smoke cleared it revealed a Light Azure female unicorn magician. She had a Pale Blue Mane, Lavender eyes, and wore a purple magician’s cloak and hat with stars on them. “As the new Guidance Counselor, The Great and Powerful Trixie will not only help you with your problems but will also dazzle you with her amazing magic shows!!!” She stood up on her back legs and made some more magical firework explosions. “But first my best friend and great and powerful assistant Starlight Glimmer must finish her opening announcements.” Trixie gave an over-the-top bow and then jester a hoof to Starlight. “Thank you, Trixie.” Starlight sighed Trixie could be so over-the-top sometimes but that was one of the reasons Starlight loved her. “Anyway, I would also like to introduce new the Security Pony, Mr. Lightning Wing. Lightning Wing then flew up next to Starlight and the other two ponies. All of the students were confused. “I bet you are all confused right now.” Said Lightning Wing who was flying in mid-air. “Well aloud me to explain after The Cozy Glow Incident Ms. Glimmer thought it would be a good idea to have somepony to keep an eye on you kids, make sure you don’t get into too much trouble, and also keep those magical items save and sound.” “Now does anypony have some questions for me?” One of the Students raised their hoof. “Yes, you with the cute purple bow.” “Why are you the only pony for security?” She asked Lightning Wing smiled. “That my cute little friend is a very good question and I would love to demonstrate.” “Oh no no no no no!!!” Starlight grabbed him with her telekinesis. “We have a deal remember?” “None of your demonstrations indoor or near the students unless you're in a rubber bubble!” She said “Oh, right I forgot for a second sorry Ms. Glimmer.” “Have many times to I have to tell you it’s Starlight, not Ms. Glimmer.” “Okay, sorry Ms. Starlight.” This got a laugh from the students and Trixie. “Never mind.” She said letting go of Lighting Wing and calming herself down with Twilight’s breathing exercise. “Now I would like to introduce the last new member of our faculty and the new History Professor Mr. Johnson Knightly. “Please, call me Johnson.” He was a full-grown Earth Pony, he had a Dark Bluecoat with Light Blueish Green panders on his legs and one around his neck. He also wore a Black Tux, his mane and tail were very well-groomed. The Mane and Tail were both black with 2 Blueish Green stripes on them. He also had Blue Eyes, and a small beard and his Cutie Mark was a small sword with Two curves. All of the students were very impressed with how handsome he looked except for The Young 6 who were in shock. Because this pony had the same name, the same eyes, and the same voice as the ghost knight they met last week!! Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, In a world running out of time, we must fight to survive, against an ancient evil that must die.

Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers Knights of war!!!!!! Commercial “Now that introductions are out of the way, I can list off the new School Rules.” Headmare Starlight said floating up a small list in front of herself.” Lightning Wing was about to say something but Starlight zipped his mouth shut. “Make one joke about Twilight and you will be dusting the library for a month.” Lightning Wing unzipped his mouth and crossed his front hooves. “Fine.” He said. “Good, now firstly all students must be in bed by 10:00 PM, no student is allowed to be outside of their living quarters after 9:00 PM and Mr. Lightning Wing will make sure you obey this curfew.” “Oh and don’t try and sneak out to make a midnight snack or something, because trust me I will know.” Lightning Wing said with a smirk. “Okay secondly, I know Trixie may not seem like the best choice for a Guidance Counselor and I know that she can get annoying sometimes, but she is my best friend and the best pony for the job, and because this is the School of Friendship I expect all of you to give her some respect.” As Starlight continued to list off some pretty standard rules which all of the students were listening to, except for The Young 6. “Guys is it just me or does our New History Professor remind you of somepony?” Sandbar whispered to his friends “No Sandbar you’re not the only one.” Said Silverstream “But it can’t be him.” “Why would he disguise himself as an Earth Pony and become a teacher?” Asked Ocellus “I don’t know and I don’t care.” “But if this is about us having to save the world, he will just have to find somepony else for the job,” Gallus said in anger “AHEM.” The Young 6 & Starlight went quiet when the Earth Pony known as Mr. Johnson Knightly loudly cleared his throat. Then everypony looked at him. “Sorry to interrupt Headmare Starlight, but it would seem that some of the students would prefer to not listen to you, and instead gossip among themselves.” “Really?” Starlight said getting a little mad. “Yes, and if they don’t want detention, they better keep their mouths shut and listen.” He said in a very strict voice. The Young 6 gulped. “Now Headmare Starlight I believe you still had one more rule to enforce?” “Oh right thank you.” “Lastly absolutely nobody is allowed beneath the school if any pony is caught in there they will be in a lot of trouble.” “But hopefully that won’t happen.” “So if you will please follow me, Mr. Johnson Knightly I will show you where you will be teaching your first class.” “Actually we won’t be going to the classroom.” Said, Mr. Johnson Knightly “What?” Starlight and Sunburst said at the same time in confusion. “You see as the new History Professor I have already decided what my student’s first lesson is going to be, and for me to teach them this lesson I need to take them on a little field trip to The Castle of The Two Sisters.” “Wait a minute doesn’t that mean that you would have to go through The Everfree Forest?” Sunburst said in a scared tone. “Oh yeah, the total not scary and barely threatening forest.” Lightning Wing Said in a sarcastic tone while rolling his eyes. “Lightning Wing is right The Everfree Forest is much less dangerous than its reputation suggests.” “WHAT!?!?” Everpony was shocked they couldn’t believe what they were hearing.” Starlight was about to say something but Mr. Johnson put a hoof in front of her face. “Let me explain first then I will let you speak okay?” Starlight Nodded. “Now The Everfree Forest is only dangerous if you go in by yourself, go in at night, stray off the path, bring food that will attract predators, or go in there when your just a filly or colt.” “Also Princess Twilight and her friends have gone in and out of the forest multiple times, not to mention that Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Silverstream, Yona, and Sandbar have been at The Castle of The Two Sisters by going through the forest without much trouble. “He said to Starlight. “Also there is a Zebra who literally lives in the supposedly unnatural, terrifying, monster-infested forest of death, and the only time she was forced to leave was because of Discord.” Lightning Wing pointed out. Starlight was wide-eyed and speechless. “I .. wow... okay that’s actually a good point.” “Of course, Mr. Lightning Wing will be coming with us to make sure nothing happens.” Said Johnson. “And if our snoop is none eavesdropping, he can join you.” Said The Great and Powerful Trixie as she then blasted an empty spot with her magic revealing Chancellor Neighsay. He was a full-grown Light Gray Unicorn, he was long and skinny, his mane and tail were short well-groomed, and black, he also had a small black Go-T. He wore a dark red robe with a sash where he kept his medallion. He looked very surprised. “But how did you...?” “Oh please, you can’t fool The Grrreat and Powerrrful Trrrixie with a weak invisibility spell you amateur.” She said with a glare. In fact, almost everypony in the school was glaring at him including The Young 6 who still haven’t fully forgiven him for how he treated them. Well except for Sandbar and Ocellus. “Well, well, welly, well, well if it isn’t Chancellor Idiot.” Lightning Wing said flying up to the Unicorn’s face and giving him a glare that could burn through metal. “I beg your pardon!?!?!” Chancellor Neighsay said in anger. “Oh, your right that’s way too nice.” “How about Chancellor moron or even better Chancellor I’m going to doom Equestria because of my RACISM AND STUPIDITY!!!” Said, Lightning Wing who screamed at the last part. “Wow and I thought I was the only one who burned things around here,” Smolder said with a smile Chancellor Neighsay took a breath. “Oh right look I know made some mistakes in the past and say some things that I can’t take back.” But I am not an Idiot.” “Oh no of course not.” “You’re just the moronic Unicorn who would trust two well-known con artists to run a School of Friendship over the literal Princess of Friendship who was Princess Celestia’s star student and is the future ruler of Equestria. But you wouldn’t let her run her own school because she wouldn’t follow some stupid outdated rules that are older than you are!” Lightning Wing said. “Ouch.” Sandbar said “By the way, all who agree with me that this guy is an idiot say aye.” Lightning Wing said. “Aye,” Said most of the students while raising their hooves, including 4 out of The Young 6, Trixie, and Professor Johnson Knightly himself. While Chancellor Neighsay did apologize for what he did in the past that didn’t mean that everypony completely forgave him. Professor Johnson then put his hoof down. “Alright now if we are finished with Chancellor Neighsay we can start our field trip.” “Headmare Starlight, Vice Headstallion Sunburst would you like to join us?” He asked them. Sunburst had a huge grin on his face. “A chance to see one of Equestria’s oldest landmarks, where Princess Celestia & Luna grew up, where The Elements of Harmony use to defeat Nightmare Moon, and a chance to see The Tree of Harmony?!?” “Of course!” Starlight smiled. “Sure why not.” “Excellent and I assume Chancellor Neighsay will also be joining us?” “You assume correctly as you say it yourself if we are going into The Everfree Forest were have greater strength in numbers.” Said Chancellor Neighsay. “Fine but I’m keeping a close eye on you.” Lightning Wing said glaring at the Unicorn. “The Great and Powerful Trixie will not be coming, she has work to do in her office.” Said the pony magician. But really she just didn’t want to go anywhere near that forest because she was scared that they would run into a creature she did not want to see again. Starlight nodded. “Okay now everypony go to your classes and those who are in Professor Johnson’s class follow us to The Castle of The Two Sisters. “How much do you want to bet that were also in Professor Johnson’s class?” Asked Smolder “30 bits and I bet that Ghost Knight is up to something and I don’t like it.” Said the angry Griffin then he and his friends followed starlight, Sunburst, Neighsay, Lightning Wing, and Johnson into the forest The Dead Rotting Swamp: Inside the goat-shaped cavernous, the silhouetted goat was pacing back and forth in anger. “Those Orcs should have reported back by now!” WHAT IS TAKING THEM SO LONG!!?!?!” He screamed blasting a 4-foot hole into a wall with his magic. Dark Claw just watched and while he still hasn’t gotten over the fact that his former master’s body had been taken over by some dark spirit, it wasn’t going to stop him from getting what he wanted. That’s because Dark Claw was one of those creatures who knew how to turn a bad situation to his advantage. He cleared his throat. “Excuse me, Master.” He said in a very polite tone. The goat stopped in his tracks and looked at Dark Claw still angry. “Speak.” “Firstly are you sure that seeding those foot soldiers alone was a good idea?” “I’m not questioning your intelligence I’m just a little confused.” “Dark Claw those orcs are some of the strongest and most vicious creatures in my army, they defeated hundreds of my enemies, and they have rarely failed me.” The goat said sounding confident before getting back to his pacing. Dark Claw heard something and then looked to his right and when he did he got a big smirk on his face. “Are you sure?” “Why do you continue to question me?” He said sounding more annoyed than angry. “May it’s because only one of the orcs has returned all bruised and battered.” Dark Claw said pointing to the entrance where indeed there was an orc all bruised and battered and holding his side in pain. But this wasn’t just any orc this was the one that was blasted into the sky by The Young 6. Before the orc could say anything he was teleported right in front of the goat’s face. “Report did you find the great and powerful magic force in that forest?” He asked intensely. The orc started to sweat bullets. “Umm funny story.” “WHAAAAAT!?!!?!” He screamed so loud that the entire swamp shook and Dark Claw might have lost his hearing if he hadn’t put on some soundproof earmuffs. “You were defeated by children!?!?!” “But master you don’t understand!” The orc said panicking “Failure is unacceptable!!!” The goat screamed then blasted the orc with his magic and completely disintegrated him. Dark Claw took off his soundproof earmuffs and put them back into his robes. “I knew this would happen.” The Goat turned to Dark Claw and Glared at him. “What?” “Well I did try to tell you that those stupid foot soldiers would fail, but you were too stupid to listen to me.” Dark Claw said with a smile but it quickly disappeared when the goat used his magic to grab Dark Claw and pull him right to his face. “Give me one good reason not to disintegrate you as well for that last comment!” He screamed “Well if it wasn’t for me you would still be 6 feet under.” Dark Claw pointed out with a smirk. The Goat’s expression softened. “Touché.” He said “Secondly you stop with the pacing.” Said Dark Claw “Why?” Asked the goat “Because master you have made a groove in the floor.” Said Dark Claw pointing down with one of his spike fingers. The goat looked down and then back to see a long and small groove in the floor. “Oh,” He said then got out of the groove. Then in the blink of an eye, the groove was gone. The goat then turned to see Dark Claw’s claw glowing with black magic. He then teleported a large nail filer to himself and started using it on his claw. “Thirdly I can be quite useful to you unlike those stupid foot soldiers your no offense.” “None taken.” He said before putting Dark Claw down “Now aside from resurrections, portal opening, and fixing floors what exactly can you do that would be useful to me?” He asked “Allow me to demonstrate.” He said pulling out a long black-colored list with crimson red writing on it. Dark Claw then started to go down the long black-colored list. “Now let’s see here too crazy, too small, too stupid, ah yes perfect you shall do.” Dark Claw said smiling. He then rolled up the long black-colored list and then his Claw started to glow with black magic. “Now creature with black of heart and skin of steel, I beseech thee to complete our deal!” Just then a small black portal appeared above the ceiling and then something fell out of the small black portal and crashed into the floor. When the dust cleared it revealed a bizarre-looking creature even by Equestria’s standard. It was almost completely made of blue, black, and white metal. It wore a brown fur coat on its back and had a hockey-like mask for a face. But its most defining trait was the chainsaws it had. It had 2 curve chainsaws on both arms, 2 straight chainsaws for shoulder pads, and even 2 mini chainsaws for feet. “Ow, my head.” “Crikey where in tarnation am I?” The Monster asked speaking in an Australian accent. “Ah Herr Slice and Dice my old Feund.” Dark Claw said with a Grin. (Translation: Freund German for friend) Slice and Dice looked at Dark Claw in shock. “Dark Claw what the heck are you doing here and who’s the goat?” “Watch your tongue.” Said the silhouetted goat. “I believe introductions are in order Master this is Slice and Dice, Slice and Dice this is my master.” He said “Does your master have a name?” “Also, why is your master a goat, and why am I here?” The Monster Asked “Enough I didn’t summon you the play 20 questions.” “I summoned you because we have a job for you.” Said Dark Claw. “Well, What’s the job?” Slice and Dice asked “A rather simple one actually, I need to find and destroy a powerful magical force in a Forest.” The Goat said “It may sound simple but it will not be easy, especially with those meddling ponies.” Dark Claw said clenching his claw. “Wait did you say ponies?” The Monster then fell on his back and was laughing hysterically “Hahaha oh no I’m so scared of cute little ponies hahahahahaha!” He continued to laugh hysterically, while Dark Claw and the Goat waited for him to be done. Once he was done laughing he stood up. “Sorry Master Goat but come on how much trouble can these ponies be?’ He asked. “You be surprised by what these ponies can do.” Dark Claw said then used The Eye of The Arimaspi to show clips of the ponies. “Many creatures outside of Equestria think that ponies are weak and pathetic, but in reality, they are far more powerful than you think.” “They possess incredible strength, are fast enough to break the sound barrier, can control the laws of physics, and a young Unicorn with able to go horn the horn with a young Alicorn.” Dark Claw explained while The Eye of The Arimaspi showed The Goat & Slice and Dice what Dark Claw was Talking about. “Crikey no wonder you need my help.” Slice and Dice said “But that’s is nothing compared to all the villains they had defeated, Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, The Storm King, Lord Tirek, and even the Lord of Chaos disharmony Discord were no match for the power of these little ponies. Dark Claw Said as The Eye of The Arimaspi stopped after showing villains they had defeated. “Hmmm, its themes that far much more has changed in 2000 years than I previously thought.” The silhouetted goat said stroking his beard. “Umm excuse me if those powerful villains couldn’t beat those ponies, how in blue blazes am I supposed to do any better?!?” The Monster asked. “Well, you see Herr Slice and Dice your armor already has that little problem covered, and as for the ponies’ powers, well you see deep in the Everfree Forest is The Tree of Harmony the source of ponies’ powerful magic and it is also the powerful magic that you what destroyed master.” “But destroying The Tree of Harmony is a very bad idea.” Dark Claw said to his goat master. “And why is that Dark Claw?” The goat asked “Well you see master if The Tree of Harmony was destroyed then the Everfree Forest would grow uncontrollably and as a result, there would be no Equestria for you to rule over.” “However if someone was able to control the Tree of Harmony they would be in control of all the magic in Equestria or even all the magic in the world.” Dark Claw explained. “Well, Dark Claw it would seem you are far more useful than I previously thought not only do you have many unique magical abilities, but you also seem to have knowledge about this new world that I do not.” The silhouetted goat said. “Thank you, master.” “Umm, I hate to break up this nice moment, but I’m no good when it comes to magic I couldn’t even be a good magician’s assistant for my sister’s 8th Birthday Party.” Said Slice & Dice. “That does not matter because the job is still the same.” Said the silhouetted goat. “What?” Dark Claw and Slice & Dice said at the same time. “You will go into the Everfree Forest and find The Tree of Harmony but instead of destroying it you will bring me back a piece of it so that I can study its magical power and finger how to control it.” Said the goat. “Oh yeah simple & easy I like it.” The monster said. “And Dark Claw will go with you.” Said the goat. “Wait, what?!?!” Said Dark Claw who was completely caught off guard. “Is that a problem Dark Claw?’ The Goat asked glaring at him. “No no no not a problem at all.” Dark Claw said in a panicked voice. “Except for the fact that I’m useless in a fight, but if I say that he might disintegrate me as he did to that orc.” Dark Claw thought to himself. “Then go and do not fail me!” The goat said intensely “Yes sir, Master Goat.” Slice & Dice said as Dark Claw made a portal and the two went through it. Meanwhile, in the Everfree Forest, Mr. Johnson Knightly was leading his students to The Castle of The Two Sisters with Headmare Starlight, Vicehead Stallion Sunburst, the head of security Lightning Wing, and Chancellor Neighsay keeping an eye out for trouble. There was much chatter among the students, particularly the Young 6. “Okay, we know that Mr. Johnson Knightly is actually Johnson the Ghost Knight right?” Smolder asked her friends. Her friends looked unsure. “Oh Come on guys it’s beyond obvious that it’s him.” The Dragon said in anger. “I don’t know why would he disguise himself as an earth pony but keep the same name, eyes, and voice?” “I mean isn’t the point of having a disguise so that nopony can tell who you are?” Silverstream pointed out. “She’s got a point Smolder.” Said Sandbar. “Unless those orcs are going to try and destroy the Tree of Harmony again.” “Which means we’re going to need those swords to fight them again.” Said the shy changeling. “We’re not going to use those stupid swords!” Gallus said in anger. “Blue Griffin right friends don’t need magic swords when friends have Yak strength!” Yona said while smashing the ground. “No Yona I mean we’re not going to fight period!” Gallus said “Wait what?!?!” All 5 of Gallus’s friends said at the same time. The Griffin then turned around to face his friends. “Gallus you can’t be serious.” Sandbar said. “Yeah, don’t you remember what Johnson told us, those swords chose us and now we are the only ones who can stop this ancient evil.” Said Ocellus Gallus then facepalmed “Ocellus are you even listing to yourself?” “You sound like a loon, are you really going to let some crazy ghost tell you what to do just because some stupid swords chose us!?!” Gallus said using his claws as quotes “But Gallus this evil is 2000 years and Mmmmmph!!” Ocellus was hand gagged Gallus “Exactly 2000 years ago but we things that Johnson didn’t 2000 years ago.” “5 Powerful alicorns, the 6 pillars of Equestria, 6 heroes who have alrighty saved the world multiple times, and The Lord Chaos on our side!!” “So if fate the world really is in danger why is it only up to us and more important question why were we chosen?!?!?” Gallus asked moving his claw from Ocellus’s mouth. Ocellus looked unsure. “I don’t know.” “Umm excuse me.” Said Lightning Wing who was tapping Gallus on the shoulder. “WHAT!?!?!” Gallus yelled at Lighting Wing Lightning Wing backed up from Gallus. “I was umm just wanted to let you know that you and your friends are kind of lagging behind with the other students.” He said pointing behind him with his left wing to the other students who were 10 feet away. “Oh,” Gallus said “Is something bothering you.” Lightning Wing asked him. “No!” Gallus said pushing Lighting Wing into some bushes and then flying off to the join rest of the class. “Is Green security Pegasus okay?” Yona asked as she and her friends helped Lightning Wing out of the bushes. “Just peachy.” He said brushing himself off. “I know Griffins are supposed to be rude but sheesh, is he always like that?” He asked. “Only if they’re something bothering him and he really doesn’t want to talk about it or if there's a test coming up,” Silverstream told him. “Noted, now let’s get back to the rest of the class before Mr. Knightly gives you all detention for being late.” Lightning Wing said as he and The Young 5 went off to join the rest of the class. Not too far away a black portal opened up. Lightning and The Young 5 caught up with the class and from the looks of it they had been waiting for them. “Ahh Silverstream, Sandbar, Smolder, Yona, Ocellus, and Lighting Wing I see you finally decided to join us.” Said, Mr. Johnson “Yeah sorry, Mr. Knightly but I got into a fight with the bushes.” Lightning Wing joked “Yes, I can tell.” Mr. Johnson said pointing to Lighting Wing’s tail. Lightning Wing looked at his tail to find a small piece of a bush in it. Lightning Wing then took the bush out of his tail quickly “Oops.” He said blushing in embarrassment & laughing nervously. “Now that everypony is accounted for and Lightning Wing’s tail is bush free, we can begin our field trip.” Starlight Glimmer then lowered the cloaking spell that Mr. Knightly asked her to cast before they went off on their Field Trip. “Now students and guests present to you The Castle of the Two Sisters.” Said Mr. Johnson Knightly and well it definitely looked like it was over a thousand years old. 80% of the roofs were gone, it had cracks all over its walls, it was amazing the place was still standing after the battle between Princess Celestia & Nightmare Moon and The students were amazed. “Wow” “Cool” “Amazing” “Seen it already.” Said, Gallus in a bored tone. “Sorry, it’s just not as cool or amazing when you’re seeing it for the second time.” He said “Yeah, Gallus is right.” Said Smolder putting her claw on his shoulder. The rest nodded “Speak for yourselves!” Said Sunburst was totally geeking out. “This is incredible, the architecture, the history, the scars from the battle between Princess Celestia & Nightmare Moon!!” “It’s incredible this place is still standing after 1000 years. “Vice Headstallion Sunburst.” Sunburst turned his head at the sound of his oldest friend Starlight. “We are all glad to see your enthusiasm for the field trip but could you maybe act a little professional, especially in front of our new History Professor & Chancellor Neighsay.” Starlight said pointing to the two of them. Mr. Knightly had a raised eyebrow, while Chancellor Neighsay just looked annoyed. Sunburst blushed in embarrassment. “Oh right sorry.” He then went back to starlight while the students & The Young 6 tried not to laugh. “Sorry about that he gets like that sometimes.” Starlight said to Chancellor Neighsay & Mr. Knightly. “No need to apologize Headmre Starlight there is at least one in every school in Equestria.” Said Chancellor Neighsay. “Well now that all of the students & Sunburst have finished admiring the front of the castle let’s head inside.” Mr. Knightly said as he led the way and opened the front door. “Now students this room we are in might seem like just an ordinary room, but this room actually has a piece of equestrian history in it.” “Can anypony tell me what that is?” “Anypony that’s not a faculty member in the school friendship.” He said as Sunburst raise his hoof. “Sorry force of habit,” Sunburst said while Starlight put her hoof into her face in embarrassment. Many of the students raised their hooves. “Yes, you Ocellus,” Mr. Knightly said. “This is the room where Princess Twilight and her friends discovered The Elements of Harmony, defeated Nightmare Moon & saved Equestria from Nightmare Eternal.” Ocellus said with a smile on her face. “Correct and incorrect Ocellus.” Mr. Knightly said. “What?” Ocellus was confused. “You see, this is where Princess Twilight and her friends discovered The Elements of Harmony, but they actually defeated Nightmare Moon over there.” Mr. Knightly said pointing to a left tower. “But did you know that they did not have a choice in the matter?” “Of course, they had a choice, save Equestria from an eternal night or live the rest of their lives under the rule of an Evil Alicorn.” “Oops sorry,” Silverstream said realizing she spoke without raising her claw first. Mr. Knightly just smiled. “That’s not what I meant Silverstream, you see while it might seem that they chose to save Equestria in actuality they were always destined to do so” “Oh give me a break.” Everypony turned to voice the said that which was Gallus. Mr. Knightly raised an eyebrow. “You have something to say, Gallus?” “There is no such thing as destiny, there is only what you do & what you don’t do,” Gallus said in an angry tone. Mr. Knightly started to stroke his beard. “I see, so you think it was just a coincidence that Princess Twilight and her friends were chosen by The Elements of Harmony, defeated Nightmare Moon, and became Equestria’s new defenders?” He asked “Yes.” Said Gallus and to everypony’s surprise Lightning Wing. “Oh, you don’t believe in destiny either Mr. Lightning Wing?” Mr. Knightly asked “No, I believe in physical evidence and scientific proof that’s what I believe in.” Lightning Wing said. “Okay, fair enough everypony is entitled to their opinion.” “But as we continue this and other further classes you will see that throughout equestrian history some things were always meant to be and where the ponies of the past knew it or not they were all playing a part in the Wheel of Destiny.” Mr. Knightly said in a very serious tone. This statement got many different reactions from the students, who were intrigued by what the New History Professor was saying, others were confused by what he was saying, and others just didn’t know what to make of The Professor, and Vice Headstallion Sunburst had all 3 reactions. “Wow, he’s not what I expected from a history professor,” Sunburst whispered to Starlight. “Yeah, but he was highly recommended by Chancellor Neighsay & The EEA,” Starlight said out loud. “WAIT WHAT!?!?” All students and Lightning Wing say at the same time. “Oops.” Said Starlight before covering her mouth. Everyone & The Young 6 turned to Chancellor Neighsay while Chancellor Neighsay glared at Starlight for spilling the beans. “Yes I & The EEA did indeed recommend Mr. Johnson Knightly to be the New History Professor for your school, but before you say anything he does not nor did he ever work for the Equestrian Education Association.” “He is just one of the Finest and Brightest Professor in all of Equestria and The EEA thought he would be a great addition to The School of Friendship, and as for why Headmare Starlight agreed with the EEA it’s because...” But before he could finish his mouth was covered by Lightning Wing’s wing “Shhh.” Said, Lightning Wing “Did you just shush me?” An angry Neighsay asked, “Look Mr. Lightning Wing I know you don’t like me but that’s no interrupting..” His mouth was covered by Lightning Wing’s wing again. “Hush I heard something.” Lightning Wing said “Hey I hear it too & it sounds like a chainsaw.” One of the students said. “Oh no.” Mr. Johnson Knightly said looking very worried. Several trees were falling across the Everfree Forest. “What is going on?” Sunburst asked. “I don’t know, but don’t like it.” Said Starlight. Before any of The Young 6 could say anything, Mr. Johnson Knightly used his back left hoof to press one of the stone floor pats causing the floor that The Young 6 & Johnson were standing on to flip over. “What Happen to Gallus, Silverstream, Yona, Ocellus, Smolder, Sandbar, & Mr. Knightly?” Lightning Wing asked. “They must have triggered the trap door they could be anywhere in the castle by now.” Starlight said sounding very scared. “I I I think we hhhhave bigggger probbblems,” Sunburst said sounding absolutely terrified. Like what?” Asked Chancellor Neighsay “LIKE THAT!!!” Sunburst screamed while pointing at a blue chainsaw cutting through a tree-like it was wet paper. After the tree was cut down & the dust was cleared it revealed Slice & Dice and Dark Claw. “What in Equestria?!?!?” Everypony said at the same time. Commercial Somewhere Inside The Castle of The Two Sisters: A small part of the ceiling opened up & The Young 6 fell on top of each other. “What just happened?” Sandbar asked “Yona thinks friends fell through trap door.” She said “That’s very observant of you Yona but could you please get off of me?” Said Gallus’s mumbled voice. The Yak looked down & realized that she was on top of him. “Oops Yak sorry is Griffin okay?” “Fantastic I love being crushed by Yaks.” He said in his usual sarcastic tone. “Glad to see that your love for sarcasm hasn’t changed in the past week.” Said Mr. Knightly who was standing right in front of them, before changing into The Legendary Knight. “You?!?!?” Gallus said in anger & surprise before trying to attack him but was held back by his friends. “Gallus no,” Silverstream said “Don’t you remember what happen last time?” Asked Sandbar “Yeah, he kicked our butts hard.” Smolder pointed out. “Right you are Smolder and you were almost destroyed by the orcs but you were able to unlock a small part of the power within the swords.” “But now the dark one has sent a monster to finish what the orcs failed to do.” “You mean destroy The Tree of Harmony.”  Said Ocellus in a worried tone. “And let me guess you want us to take care of it because are the only ones who can do it right?” Gallus asked “You guessed correctly.” Said Johnson with a nod. “Well guess what you’re wrong!!!” Gallus yelled “I beg your pardon?” Johnson asked “I think what Gallus meant to say, is that in the past 2000 years a lot has changed.” “The School of Friendship has many magical artifacts, we have 5 Princesses and Equestria already has 6 heroes who have much more experience saving the world, are stronger than we are, and on top of that, we still don’t know how the swords work or how to use them properly. Said Ocellus in a polite tone “Exactly and I’m pretty sure that Headmare Starlight, Chancellor Neighsay & Lighting Wing can handle whatever monster this dark one sent.” Gallus Said. The Legendary Knight put his hand to his chin and started to think. “Hmm, Ocellus does have a point with all the new magic in Equestria it could be enough to fight the monsters & the Orcs.” “But even with all that it still wouldn’t be nearly enough to destroy the dark one once & for all.” “But trying to convince a teenage Griffin like Gallus, let alone with the mood he’s currently in it’s going to be next to impossible.” Then he got an idea. “Vey well then, Gallus let’s see if you are right.” “What?” The Young 6 said all at the same time. Johnson then raised his hand causing a big round mirror to appear in the middle of the room to show Slice and Dice in front of The Castle of The Two Sisters. “What’s going on?” Asked Gallus as his friends let go of him. “Well, you said those 3 ponies could handle it so we will see if they can, and for their sake you better be right,” Johnson said in a serious tone. Gallus gulped as he & his friends watched. “Headmare Starlight and the others looked out of the windows in shock at the Monster. “What is that thing?” Starlight asked her friend Sunburst. “How do you expect me to know?” He asked sounding scared “Shh, he might hear us & anyway we have a bigger problem like missing students & a teacher.” Said Chancellor Neighsay “Who knows maybe he’s friendly.” Lightning Wing suggested which got a glare from Starlight, Sunburst & Chancellor Neighsay. “Well, he could be we have no idea why he is here & if there was anything we Learned about The Cozy Glow Incident it was never judged by its book by its cover.” “Touché,” Neighsay said. “Hey Dark Claw you coming mate?” The Monster said looking behind him. “Yea I’m coming to Herr Slice & Dice I’m coming.” Dark Claw came out of the woods clearly out of breath. “I .. was .. not.. made .. for...running.” He drank from a bottle of water he pulled out of his cloak. “Yeah well, wait what's that?” Slice & Dice asked “What is it, Herr Slice & Dice?” “I thought I saw something.” “Hmm, you might as well come out we know your in there.” Dark Claw said. “Crap baskets.” Lightning Wing said as he & the others moved away from the windows.” “There is no need to worry we promise we won’t hurt you.” “We won’t?” Slice & Dice asked. “Shut up.” Dark Claw whispered hitting the monster in the leg. “Great what are we going to do?” Sunburst asked still scared. “I’ll tell you what we’re going to do Sunburst you’re an expert in old magical ruins so go into the castle & try to find Mr. Knightly & The Students. “You kids find a place to hide this could get ugly & I don’t want any of you to get hurt.” Headmare Starlight said taking charge. “Good plan & in the meantime I will handle Chainsaw Arms & Cloak Boy, and if it looks like I need some help that's when you hit them with a surprise attack.” Lightning Wing Said to starlight “And what about me?” Asked Chancellor Neighsay. “Um, no offense scrawny but I doubt you could be helpful in a fight.” “Scrawny!?!?” Chancellor Neighsay yelled. “Hey, you ponies coming out or what?” Said Slice & Dice. “Um yeah in just a minute I mean would you be in rush be meet somepony who has literal Chainsaws for arms?” Lightning Wing nervously joked. “He has a point wouldn’t you say?” Dark Claw said looking at Slice & Dice. “Yeah, you’re HEY!.” Slice & Dice was angry while Dark Claw laughed. “Okay, I’m coming out.” Lightning Wing said opening & Closing the door. “Hello there, my name is Lightning Wing nice to me you Ummm, who are you guys exactly?” “Oh right, where are my manners my name is Dark Claw & this is my associate Herr Slice & Dice. “Herr Slice & Dice that’s a weird name.” Said Lightning Wing causing Chancellor Neighsay to face hoof. “Anyway, what brings you 2 to The Castle of The Two Sisters?” “I am glad you asked Herr Lightning, see we were looking for The Tree of Harmony and got lost, you wouldn’t happen to know where it is do you?” Dark Claw asked “The Tree of Harmony?” “Oh no.” Starlight said in a worried tone. “Something tells me that these 2 aren’t here just to see it.” Said Neighsay “Tree of Harmony, Tree of Harmony, Tree of Harmony?” Lightning Wing asked while flying & pretending to think. “Oh yeah, The Tree of Harmony!” “Nope never heard of it.” “Look mate, I don’t have time for your games so tell us this tree is so I cut off a piece of it and give it to Master Goat!” Slice & Dice said “Master Goat?” Asked Lightning Wing in confusion.” “Oops, did I say that out loud?” Slice & Dice asked covering his mouth. “Yes, you did.” Dark Claw said in an annoyed tone. “Well, in that case, if you want The Tree of Harmony then you will have to go through me!” Lightning Wing said striking a Kung Fu pose with his wings spread out. “Hey Dark Claw is this one of the Ponies you warned me & Master Goat about?” The Monster asked. “Nein he’s not one of them.” Though he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had seen this Green Pegasus somewhere before. “Well in that case getting rid of you should be no problem.” He said running & slashing one of his chainsaw arms at Lightning Wing in literally the blink of an eye. “Lightning Wing!” Everypony said. But when the dust cleared there was no Lightning Wing. “What, where’d he go?” Slice & Dice asked looking for the Green Pegasus “Um, up here!” Said Lightning Wing’s voice Slice & Dice, Dark Claw & Everpony looked up to see Lighting Wing 20 feet in the air with a big smirk on his face. “What?!?” “How did he get up there so fast? Asked Slice & Dice “Hello, I can fly remember?” Said, Lightning Wing “Wow, now that is some serious speed.” Ocellus said while her friend’s jaws dropped as they all watched “Indeed,” Johnson said sounding very impressed.” “Ha, you think that’s fast watch this!” The Green Pony said diving at the Monster & circling him like a green tornado. Slice & Dice tried to hit him but he was too fast. After a minute of this Lighting Wing stopped his tornado attack landing on the ground & striking another Kung Fu pose with his wings spread out. When the green tornado was gone Slice & Dice looked very dizzy. His eyes were swirling & he could barely stand up straight. But he was able to shake off the dizziness before landing on his face. “Alright you Green Wallaby you some speed I’ll give you that, but it won’t save you from me.” “Save me from what, your chainsaw arms or terrible accent?” Lightning Wing joked “Why you little!” Slice & Dice tried to attack him again but missed again. “You can’t hit a Pegasus this good-looking.” Slice & Dice attacked him again but missed again. “You couldn’t hit a Pegasus this good-looking.” “Will you please hit him already.” Dark Claw said in an angry tone “What does it look like I’m doing?” The monster asked looking back at Dark Claw “Missing.” Lightning Wing said behind him. Slice & Dice attacked with both of his chainsaw arms this time. Luckily Lightning Wing was able to dodge by doing a barrel roll. The chainsaw arms hit the ground causing a lot of dust the surround the monster. “Yes.” Lightning Wing said seeing this as his opportunity to attack. He flatted his wings as fast as possible, causing the dust to go right into Slice & Dice’s eyes. “My eyes I can’t see I can’t see!” Slice & Dice screamed in pain. “Perfect.” Lightning Wing said flying high into the air & then coming down very fast to deliver a punch right into Slice & Dice’s face. "Oh yeah, he got that monster with a direct hit!" Cheered Silverstream "I mean did you see Lightning Wing fly up like a rocket & smash his hoof into that monster's face? "Yes & unfortunately I saw it did no effect on the monster," Johnson said "WHAT?!?" All of the Young 6 said at the same time. Then they looked back at the big round mirror & saw that The Ghost Knight was correct. Lightning Wing then looked like he was in a lot of pain. "Ahhhhhh!!!" He screamed while holding his hoof which was turning red in pain. "Sweet Celestia!" "Gah, What are you made of? "Pure Metal!?! "Affirmative Herr Lightning." Dark Claw said with a devilish grin that could be seen through his cloak. "Oh, errors have been made." Lightning Wing said still holding his red hoof in pain. Slice & Dice then kicked him in the gut sending him to fly to the front of the castle stairs. Lightning Wing then was holding his gut in pain as the monster approached him chuckling evilly. "N-n-now I know what you're thinking, should I cut him in haft?" "And the answer might surprise you." Slice & Dice's was arm coming down & there was no way Lightning Wing was going to be able to dodge this time. Luckily for him, Starlight Glimmer teleported right in front of him & had a magic shield with her Cutie Mark on it to protect him. Then the monster was suddenly wrapped up in some blue magical chains with the EEA Symbol in the middle. "What in tarnation?" Slice & Dice asked in confusion as he tried to break out but couldn't. Suddenly Chancellor Neighsay teleported beside Starlight & behind Lightning Wing. "Sorry, Mr. Slice & Dice, but if you and your hooded friend want to get to The Tree of Harmony, you're going to have to go through us!" He said his horn glowing with magic ready to strike. Starlight still holding up her shield, looked back at Lightning Wing. "Are you okay?" She asked "Oh yeah a broken hoof, a few cracked ribs, I'm just peachy." He said in his usual joking tone. But his face showed that he was in a lot of pain. "Well, I suggest you get inside the Castle & hide in a safe place." Said Neighsay "No way!" Lightning Wing said flying up so he wouldn't have to step on his broken hoof. "It's going to take a lot more than that to keep me down, even if he breaks every bone in my body it wouldn't stop me from preventing those 2 from getting anywhere near The Tree of Harmony." "Well, mate that can be arranged." Because as soon as I break out of these chains I am going..." Before he could finish he was struck by a bolt of lightning. But this lightning bolt didn't come from a cloud it was from the tip of one of Lightning Wing's feathers which shocked everypony even the Legendary Knight. "H-how in Equestria did he do that?" Asked Sandbar who couldn't believe what he just saw." "I'm not going to lie to you Sandbar, I have absolutely no idea," Johnson said completely in shock but then his eyes narrowed. "But I think that Starlight might know.” He said noticing that she was not in shock at all. "Who cares that monster is down for the count!" Gallus said "Not exactly." Said Johnson Gallus looked back to see the monster getting up after being struck by a bolt of lightning. "You got to be kidding me." Lightning Wing smirked "Consider that a warning, either leave now or face an even bigger shock." "And I suggest you make your decision quickly unless you want to take all 3 of us at once." Said Chancellor Neighsay. While he was still shocked at what Lightning Wing had just done, he knew that question would have to wait until after they got rid of these two. "That's right, especially when one of those 3 is Princess Twilight's Student!" Starlight bragged a little bit of The Trixie Great and Powerful rubbing off on her. Slice & Dice's eyes went wide as he realized that this Purple Unicorn was one of the Ponies that Dark Claw warned him about. "Face it your outmatched & outnumbered." She said with a smile on her face which quickly disappeared because of Dark Claw's evil chuckle. "Do you honestly believe that fraulein?" Dark Claw asked Starlight "Well, I did right up until you chuckled." Starlight said sounding worried "I will admit that friend's lightning trick got me off guard but as you can see didn't do much damage to Herr Slice & Dice." Dark Claw said pointing to the monster who was still in chains. "You look surprised or didn't you know that lightning doesn't affect pure metal?" "And you think that scares me?" Asked Lightning Wing "No, that's their job." "ORCS!!" Dark Claw screamed and then several Orcs appeared around him & Slice & Dice. "Oh no not these guys again." Ocellus said shaking in fear. "Wait a minute did we already beat those freaks?" Smolder asked "Yes Smolder you did." "But that's the problem with Foot Soldiers, no matter how many times you beat them they always come back for more." Said Johnson "I just hope that they can do better than we did last time," Gallus said "What in Equestria are those things?" Starlight asked "Very, very, very bad news." Said Lightning Wing looking terrified his eyes becoming pinpricks "Scared well you should be." Said one of the Orcs before cutting Slice & Dice free of his magical chains. "Now Orcs, Slice & Dice, please do me a small favor & destroy those little ponies!!" Commended Dark Claw "With pleasure." Slice & Dice said leading the charge of Orcs. Starlight through her shield at 2 of the orcs sending them flying, then she blasted a few more with her magic. Then one of the Orcs through his ax at the mare but she teleported before it could hit her. Chancellor Neighsay was jumping through his magic portals blasting every orc he could. But despite all of that, the Orcs kept getting up & shaking off the magic blast like they were nothing. Meanwhile, Lightning Wing was doing a little better. One of the Orcs ran in front of Lightning Wing, but it was knocked out with an uppercut by Lightning Wing before it could attack. Then another Orc tried to swing his ax at Lightning Wing who just countered with a spin kick knocking it out. One Orc tried to get him from behind but Lightning Wing knocked him out without even looking. Unfortunately, he use his hurt hoof. "Ow!" "Okay, that was a Bad Idea.” Yikes!" He said as he ducked to avoid an ax that would taken his head off. He then rolled out the way as 3 more axes to try & hit him. Unfortunately, doing so further injured his already injured ribs. The 4 Orcs were about to attack but Lightning Wing obliterated them with some lightning bolts this time coming from his tail. He then noticed that one of the Orcs was about to attack Chancellor Neighsay from behind. "Neighsay look out!" Lightning Wing said while flying to him. Chancellor Neighsay turned his head just in time to see Lightning Wing hit the orc with a flying dragon kick. "Thanks, you saved me." "Maybe from them but not from me!" The Monster said swinging his chainsaw arm at the 2 ponies. Luckily Chancellor Neighsay was able to teleport them just before they could be cut into ribbons. After being teleported Lighting Wing fell to the ground & held his ribs in pain. "Are you okay?" He asked "I'll be fine." He lied "But we got bigger problems, I don't think magic works on these guys.” He Said seeing Starlight firing her magic like a machine gun at the Orcs & having little to no effect on them. Then Dark Claw laughed evilly. "Very observant Herr Lightning, that is because the Orcs are Protected with Magic-Resistant Armor provided by yours truly. "Wait if magic doesn’t work, then what can we do?" Starlight asked "You can die!" Slice & Dice said before hitting her with his chainsaw arm & going right through her literally like she was a hologram. "What she was an illusion?" "Yep, I learned that trick from A Great & Powerful Friend of mime." Said Starlight's voice who then appeared from out of nowhere with a smile on her face & her horn glowing with immense magic. "HIT THE DECK!!" Screamed Lightning Wing before covering his head while Chancellor Neighsay made a magical forcefield to protect them. Starlight then blasted The Monster with everything she had. "Great Merciful Jelly Beans!!" Dark Claw screamed in shock. He knew Starlight was strong but he didn't know that she was THAT STRONG!!! "Wow Starlight is almost as strong as Princess Twilight, maybe even stronger!" Said Sandbar "Yeah!" "What do you say to that Johnson?" Gallus asked "Never stood a chance," Johnson said simply "See what I tell you & you were so afraid of that Monster," Gallus said with a smirk on his face. "That is not who I was referring to Gallus." "Um friends?" Yona said sounding scared while pointing. "No, don't even tell me," Gallus said his face turning pale Starlight was panting heavily. "There,...that... takes...care...of..." Starlight was interrupted by an evil laugh "You call that an attack?" "I give you some credit little pony it's good at picking up dust." The monster said as the smoke cleared, revealing that the attack didn't even scratch him. "What’s the matter?" "You look shocked." Dark Claw said "There's no way, he couldn’t have taken a blast like that." Said Chancellor Neighsay "Unless he as Magic-Resistant Armor too." Lightning Wing said. "You are correct Herr Lightning, it's a shame you don't fight as well as you observe." Dark Claw said "Now let me show you one of my attacks!" Slice & Dice said as one of his chainsaw arms started to glow a Light Blue aura. "Take this, Chainsaw Beam!" A Light Blue beam in the shape of a Chainsaw fired at starlight. Starlight tried to make a magic shield to protect herself, but the Chainsaw Beam broke the magic shield sending her flying." "Starlight!" Chancellor Neighsay screamed "Ms. Glimmer!" Lightning Wing screamed Starlight landed hard on her head knocking her out cold. "Are you okay?" Neighsay & Lightning said at the same time. "You 2 should be worrying about yourselves!" The monster said before blasting them with another Chainsaw Beam. Chancellor Neighsay tried to teleport them out of the way but wasn't fast enough & they were sent flying & landed in front of starlight. Dark Claw liked this. "Hahaha, well done Herr Slice & Dice now to finish them off so we can finish our mission." "With pleasure." Slice & Dice said approaching the 3 hurt ponies. "Any last words?" He asked before attacking. Lightning Wing stood up & spread his wings in front of Starlight & Chancellor Neighsay to protect them. Lightning Wing closed his eyes ready for the pain. He then heard a small clink. he wasn't aware death came with a clink. Realizing he hadn't felt anything, Lightning Wing opened his eyes. He looked up to find that the monster was just as confused as he was. Slice & Dice's Chainsaw Arm swept down again. Lightning Wing kept his eyes open this time and watched as Slice & Dice's Chainsaw Arm hit something. A transparent bubble flickered around the 3 of them, Slice & Dice's Chainsaw Arm bouncing off harmlessly. Lightning Wing breathed a sigh of relief. "Wow talk about leaving a save to the last minute, thanks." He then looked at the 2 Unicorns & was confused when he saw that neither of their horns was glowing. "Wait a minute, if you two didn't make this Magic Bubble then who did?" The Young 6 all looked at Johnson as he held his hand which was glowing in a white aura. "That shield won’t hold for long." "And let me guess you want us to go out and fight those guys right?" Gallus asked not wanting to do so "I don't want you to, but yes you're right." The Ghost Knight said in a sympathetic tone. "Yeah will just go ahead & do it, but in case you forgot we got our butts handed to us last time & were just barely able to beat those Orcs & we are not warriors!” Gallus screamed getting into Jonson's face "Yes I Know Gallus, but this time it's going to be different." Johnson gently set the Griffin down & surprisingly he seemed unfazed by Gallus screaming in his face. "Different, how?" Ocellus asked putting a hoof on Gallus's shoulder "You will have these," Johnson said then The 6 Magic Swords appeared in front of him. "The Magic Swords again?" Asked Sandbar. "Yes, but this time you will unlock their true power, you will be in complete control, & you will be able to stop Dark Claw & his Monster." As he spoke something strange was happing to The 6 Magic Swords. The blades were shrinking until the blade was completely gone, Then the Sword Grips turned to gold, a red button appeared in the middle of the Golden Sword Grips, & finally, a wrist-mount came out from the back of the Golden Sword Grips. "Wh-what are those things," Ocellus asked here eyes "These are your Sword Morphers." "Sword what?" Silverstream asked tiling her in confusion "I will explain later, the point is with these you will be given great power & a responsibility to protect the world from the Evil of The Dark One." Gallus was about to say something but Johnson put his hand up & Gallus respectfully kept quiet. "I know that this is a lot to take in, & I know that none of you chose this path and I know some of you would not want to fight a battle with such stakes but neither did I or my team," Johnson said in a sorrowful tone. "Your lives are about to change forever, but I will be here every step of the way, to help you, to guide you, & to teach you. "Now you are going to save the world or are you going to run away from your destiny?" He asked them in a serious tone. Gallus gave it some thought then he heard a loud clink & looked back at the transparent bubble that the Monster was trying to break through was cracking. "Um, whoever made this forcefield I don't think it's going to hold much longer." Lightning Wing said in a panic tone. Gallus then looked serious. "Alright, I'll do it." He said "Well if you're going to do it then so will I," Silverstream said That goes double for me." Said Ocellus Yaks never run away from a fight." Yona said proudly "If that means I get another chance to burn some Ocrs then I'm in too," Smolder said while cracking her claws "I always wanted to be a hero, guess this is my chance." Sandbar said with a smile. The Ghost Knight nodded "I'm glad to hear that." He said then gave The Young 6 their Sword Morphers that then strapped onto each of their wrists. "Alright, guys let's go!" Gallus said about to run out to help Starlight and others. "Wait!" Johnson said before summoning the same giant light blue shield that smashed into a week ago Gallus. Ironically Gallus smashed into it again. "Oops, sorry about that Gallus, but we can't have The Dark One know who you are." He said then with a snap of his fingers and then The Young 6 were then outfitted in medieval chainmail armor that covered every part of their bodies except for the eyes. "Wow cool outfits," Silverstream said in an excited tone. "Yeah, but are these for?" Asked Smolder "To hide your identities," Johnson said "But why would we..." Before Ocellus could finish he hear an even louder clink & looked back at the transparent bubble that had ever more cracks on it. "There is no time to go!" "Call your powers by saying Knights Defenders Knights Forever." The Young 6 nodded & ran off." "Do you think they can do it?" Said a gravelly voice from the shadows. "I can only hope that destiny is on their side." He said Commercial Slice & Dice was slashing as hard as he could at the forcefield. "As...soon...as...I...break...through...you...3...are...so...dead." He said panting heavily. "You sure you don’t want to have a Sports Drink first, you sound like use one." Lightning Wing said chuckling nervously. "Good idea, here you go Herr Slice & Dice." Dark Claw said making a sports drink appear from out of nowhere & giving it to the Monster." "Great now he'll be fully hydrated before he chops us into pieces thanks, Lightning Wing." Chancellor Naysay said in a deadpan tone "Well, I'm sorry if I have a bad habit of making bad jokes in intense situations!" Lightning Wing yelled at Naysay. "Well, I'll make sure to put in on your tombstone." "Now before my associate finishes you off, do you have any last words?" Dark Claw asked while slowly scratching the forcefield with his razor-sharp spikes for fingers. "Yeah, you want to hurt those ponies, then you are going to have to go through us!" Said a voice "Hey, how did you say that without your lips moving?" Asked Slice & Dice "He didn't say that, I did." Said the same voice Dark Claw, Slice & Dice, and the 2 ponies looked up to see 6 figures standing on top of the Castle of the Two Sisters with the sun behind them reflecting off their medieval chainmail outfits. "Who are they?" Slice & Dice asked "I can't tell," Dark Claw said narrowing his eyes from the sun. "Ready?" Said, Gallus looking at his friends "Ready!"

The Young 6 then flipped off The Castle of the Two Sisters and then did a superhero Landing with their weapons in hand. "POWER RANGERS?!?!?" Dark Claw & The Monster screamed at the same time both of them completely in shock. "No way!" Lightning Wing said completely in awe while Chancellor Naysay's jaw was almost to the floor. "No, it can't be!" "I destroyed them!" "There is no way they can be alive!" screamed the silhouetted Goat as he watched this all unfold thanks to The Eye of The Arimaspi. "Wh-what is this?" Ocellus asked looking at the suit she was wearing. "This is incredible we've become superheroes!' Said Sandbar this was a dream come true for him "I feel invincible!" Smolder said while doing a fist pump. "Yak never felt so powerful!" Yona said picking up the War Hammer with one hand amazed at how powerful she was now. "This is like the coolest thing that has ever happened in my life!" Silverstream said as she was checking out every detail of her suit. "Alright, some awesome suits & sweet weapons!" Gallus said holding up his 2 swords. "And by the expressions on your faces, I say you know how this is going to end, so why don't you just run back your Master Goat before we kick your butts 6 ways to Sunday!" Gallus said bluffing even though they had become incredibly powerful, he still wasn't entirely sure if they could beat the Orcs let alone Slice & Dice. "That is a very good ultimatum." "Here's mine, Orcs either die to the Power Rangers or die to the Master for failing him." Said Dark Claw not wanting to fight the Power Rangers or anyone himself. The Orcs having no choice charged at the Power Rangers. "Okay, you asked for it!" Smolder said then launched her Spiked Chain Mace into the face of one of the charging Orcs then when it came back to her, she then launched it again this time right into the Orc's chest & it when right through it. The Orc gasped for air before turning to dust. "Whoa!" The Black Ranger said both in surprise at the fact that the Orc just turn to dust & the fact that an ax that one of the Orcs through was coming right at her. She was able to dodge out of the way and then launched her Spiked Chain Mace for the third time. This time it wrapped around the Orc who tried to threw the ax at her, Smolder then pulled the tied up Orc to her then punched it, and then released him which caused him to spin around like a tornado, and then finished him off by launching her Spiked Chain Mace straight up into the air before crashing into the Orc obliterating it and leaving behind a small crater. After that, she pulled back her Spiked Chain Mace and that saw it was smoking, literally. "Wow I am loving this thing!" Said The Black Ranger. "Yeah well, I love my ax even more!" An Orc said swinging his right at the dragon. But luckily the ax was stopped in his tracks by a Can Staff. The Orange Ranger then kicked the Orc right between the legs causing the Orc to be in an incredible amount of pain. "Normally I wouldn't fight dirty, but in this case, I will make an exception." Sandbar said before smacking the Orc in the face with his Can Staff, knocking his armored helmet off of his head. "Hey why didn’t he turn to dust?" Asked The Orange Ranger "Pony has to hit Orcs harder like this!" Said the Yak/Yellow Ranger The Orc looked up to see her coming down from the air War Hammer in hand ready to smash "Oh this is going to hurt." Said the Orc before being crushed by the War Hammer & then turned into dust. "See What Yak tells you?" She said "Thanks Yona." "You might want to hold on to that thanks because we have more company!" The Dragon/Black Ranger said as Yona & Sandbar notice that they were surrounded by more Orcs. The Orcs attacked from all directions. Luckily the 3 Rangers were able to fight them off with martial arts. Smolder was able to knock out one with a reverse punch followed up by a roundhouse kick to another one. Sandbar was blocking attacks from 6 orcs at once with his Can Staff. "Okay I'll had just about enough of these guys!" He said then planted hid Can Staff to the ground jumped up & spun around while kicking the 6 Orcs in the face. Then another Orc tried hitting him his an ax but the Orange Ranger was able to knock it out by doing a backflip kick with his Can Staff. "Sweet Celestia Sandbar when did you learn to do that?!?" "I have no idea." He said. He never took a martial arts class in his life. One of the Orcs was about to attack Smolder but was then headbutted by the Yellow Ranger. "That Yak learned from mother! She said with pride. Then the 3 Rangers continue to fight off the remaining Orcs that surrounded them. Meanwhile, Ocellus was trying not to fight 3 Orcs that were attacking her. Even if they were evil she didn't want to hurt them, being the gentle creature that she was. "Look I think we got off on the wrong hoof" "Whoa!" She yelled dodging an ax with her speed. "Maybe we can talk about THIS!!!" She yelled while dodging another ax that would have taken off her head. "Please I don't want to fight you." Said the Blue Ranger trying to reason with them. "That's funny because we don't want to talk, all we want to do is fight!" Said one of the Orcs while swinging his ax at the Blue Rangers. Ocellus instinctively used her Medieval Fan creating a strong wind that pushed the Orcs back a few feet. "Hey Red, Black, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Blue, if you guys could please stop fighting for a second & help us I need to get Ms. Glimmer to a hospital!" Lightning Wing yelled while banging on the transparent bubble trying to get their attention. Starlight was still knocked out & was hurt badly. "Do you think you should be banging on that force..." Right on cue, the transparent bubble shattered. "Field?" "Whoops." Lightning Wing said "Perfect now that the forcefield is gone you 3 are dead!" Said an Orc with a ax coming down at them. Lightning Wing was about to zap it with some lightning, but before he could do that Ocellus used her speed to get in front of them & use her Medieval Fan on the Orc sending him flying into the air. "Oh, and the Orc is going, going, going gone!" Lightning Wing said sounding like a baseball announcer. "You guys get Headmare Starlight into the castle we'll handle this." Said the Blue Ranger using her Medieval Fan to send some Orcs back a few feet. "You got it, mysterious blue heroine!" Lightning Wing said saluting her with his left wing. Before he & Chancellor Neighsay got her into the castle while Ocellus fought the orcs but only in self-defense. "Okay now let's get Ms. Glimmer to a hospital!" Lightning Wing said to Chancellor Neighsay once they were inside. "No, not yet!" said Neighsay "What are you crazy?" "She needs medical attention!" Lightning Wing yelled at him. "And what about Sunburst, Mr. Johnson Knightly & the missing students you want to leave them behind?" Asked Neighsay "Okay you go find them & I'll keep an eye on Ms. Glimmer." Lightning Wing said. Chancellor Neighsay used his medallion to make a portal & jumped into it to take him somewhere inside the castle that hopefully would be where Sunburst, Mr. Johnson Knightly & the missing students were. Meanwhile, Silverstream was fighting the Orcs with her Bow but not doing a good job she needed some help."Um Silverstream can I ask you a question? Ocellus asked coming to help her friend. "Sure what is it?" Asked the Pink Ranger as she smacked one of the Orcs with her Bow. "Why haven't you fired that Arrow yet?" Asked the Blue Ranger as she dropped kicked one of the Orcs. "3 good reasons." "One I don't know how to use a Bow & Arrow, two I'm pretty sure you need space to use Bow and Arrow, with is something I don't have right now, and three this is the only arrow I have." Silverstream said she & Ocellus fought off the Orcs the best they could. One of the Orcs swung his ax right at the Pink Ranger who crossed her arms to protect herself. But then a large bubble of water surrounded Ocellus & Silverstream and stopped the ax in its tracks. Confused by this he & the other Orcs tried to cut through the water shield with their axes but couldn't penetrate it. "How are you doing this?" Ocellus asked her voice sounding filtered in the water. "I don't know." "But I don't think this water shield will hold forever. Silverstream said her voice also sounding filtered in the water. "Don't worry about that I have an Idea!" The Blue Ranger said. She then used her Medieval Fan to make a strong wind causing all of the water to smack right into the Orcs sending them crashing right into a tree. "Amazing she was able to use the water & wind in a combo attack without even being taught how!" Said Johnson watching all this unfold thanks to the big round mirror. The Orcs were coughing after the water/wind attack. "Do you really think some water is going to stop us?" Asked one of the soaked Orcs. "No but this might." Silverstream said aiming her bow and arrow up & then firing it. But it didn't hit any of the Orcs. "Ha, you missed." Said one of the soaked Orcs. "I wasn't aiming at you." Said the Pink Ranger pointing up. Then the soaked Orcs looked up to see that the arrow hit a large branch of the tree they were directly under and then the large branch broke off & fell onto the soaked Orcs turning to dust. "Oh yeah, take that you dust Orcs!” "Dust Orcs? asked the Blue Ranger "Yeah the Orcs are made of dust & they turned back into dust when you beat them" "Therefore Dust Orcs." The Pink Rangers explained with a smile under her helmet. "Well if that's the case I won’t feel bad about doing this!" Said Gallus using one of his Twin Swords to cut an Orc in haft while stabbing another orc with his other Twin Sword turning them both to dust. Then Gallus joined Ocellus & Silverstream to help Yona, Smolder & Sandbar to take out the rest of the Orcs. "You know despite the world being in peril & these freaks, this is the coolest field trip I have ever been on!" Said the Red Ranger double slashing an Orc. "I agree! Said the Black Ranger taking out several Orcs with her Spiked Chain Mace turning them to dust. "Yeah becoming superheroes, kicking bad-guy butt & saving the world it's a dream come true! Said the Orange Ranger spinning around and hitting several Orcs turning them to dust. "Yak agree with Pony!" "Yaks love to smash bad guys!" Said the Yellow Rangers smashing her War Hammer into the ground with such force that it sent several Orcs flying up into the air & then they all crashed down to the ground turning into dust. "Personally I'm just loving this Fan.” The Blue Ranger said throwing her Medieval Fan causing it to spin around in a circle and hitting several Orcs in the face knocking them to the ground and turning into dust before Ocellus caught the Medieval Fan in her hand. She was loving it even more knowing that she was not hurting anypony just creatures made of dust. "I'm just loving my new powers!" Said the Pink Ranger once again crossing her arms to protect herself & then another large bubble of water surrounded her. "Eat my splash attack!" She said extending her arms wide causing the water bubble to explode & hit several Orcs in all directions landing hard & turning into dust. Several Orcs Swung their axes at The Red Ranger, luckily he was able to block their attacks with his Twin Swords. Then he pushed their axes back & spun around slashing the 6 of the remaining Orcs turning them into dust & finishing off the Orcs. Except for one who stood there scared before the handle & belly of his ax fell apart from the slashes of the Twin Swords along with parts of his armor & helmet. His expression turned from scared to terrified. "Boo." Gallus said to the Orc causing it to run away. But he didn't get far because he was struck by a bolt of lightning. The Power Rangers looked back at The Castle of The 2 Sisters to see that it come from the tip of one of Lightning Wing's feathers. The Green Pegasus was still keeping an eye on Starlight while watching this all unfold through one of the windows. "Sorry but it's not a good idea to leave any stragglers." He said. "Noted." Gallus said then he and the other Rangers looked at Dark Claw & Slice & Dice who both looked scared. Alright you 2 I'm only going to say this one more time, run back to your little Master Goat before we kick your butts!" "Unless you want to end up like your dust Orcs." Gallus said and he wasn't bluffing this time he was sure they could take this Monster & he could tell that Dark claw wasn't a fighter. "Umm, I’ll go with running away, running away sounds good." Said Slice & Dice "What?" "Who says we're running away?" Asked Dark Claw "Me, you said I would be taking on ponies you never said anything about Power Rangers!" Said Slice & Dice "Power what?" Silverstream asked "Wow sounds like the big bad Monster is just a big bad chicken." Said Smolder laughing at the Monster. "What did you just call me?!?" Slice & Dice said sounding angry Dark Claw then got a mischievous grin on his face. "The Black Rangers Fraulein called you a chicken." "Also known as a wreaking, scaredy-cat or yellow-belly." "That's it you asked for it!" "Chainsaw Beam!" A Light Blue beam in the shape of a Chainsaw fired at the Power Rangers sending them flying backwards. "You just had to get to make him angry did you?!?" Gallus asked Smolder "Hey it's not my fault!" "Look out!" Smolder said she & Gallus both dodging the Monster's chainsaw arms. "Oh, I wish a had some more arrows." The Pink Rangers said then some water appeared in her hand & then turned into 3 arrows. "Wow that's convenient." She said then fired her arrows at Slice & Dice. But Slice & Dice cut the arrows in half before they hit him. "Uh-oh." The Monster started to go after Silverstream. But then one of his Chainsaw Arms was wrapped up from behind him in The Black Ranger's Spike Chain Mace. "You leave her alone!" Said Smolder. "Good point it's you I want anyway!" The Monster said using his strength to pick Smolder with his wrapped up chainsaw arm & slam her hard into the ground while she was still holding the Spike Chain Mace. "Take a bite out of this you monster!" Said The Orange Ranger hitting Slice & Dice with his Can Staff but it had little to no effect on him. "What, was that?" Slice & Dice said in an annoyed tone. "Well it worked on the Orcs." "Hehehe." Sandbar said laughing nervously "And I'm sure this would work on the Orcs as well!" Slice & Dice said grabbing the Orange Ranger by the throat and choke slamming him into the ground. "Oh my, that's got to hurt!" Lightning Wing said with a cringe Before the monster could finish Sandbar off, Silverstream got in front of him once again crossing her arms to protect herself & then another large bubble of water surrounded the both of them. "Do you really think a little water is going to stop me?" He asked before slashing at the bubble of water & not only breaking through it but also hitting both Silverstream and Sandbar. Ocellus tried to use her speed to attack the Monster, but he saw it coming. "Chainsaw Beam!" A Light Blue beam in the shape of a Chainsaw fired at the Blue Ranger the blast sending her flying & landing hard. "And now for that Black Ranger." He said about to chop her with his Arm but was stopped by one of the Red Power Ranger's Twin Swords. "You want to get to my friends, then you're going to have to get through me!" Gallus said "With pleasure!" Said the Monster the two of them battling like it was a double-handed sword fight. Except in Slice & Dice's case, instead of 2 swords, it was 2 chainsaw arms. The two of them battled for several minutes attacking & blocking each other. Neither of them was getting the upper hoof until Slice & Dice kicked Gallus in the chest. "All right let’s see how you handle this Power Ranger!" Slice & Dice said both of his chainsaw arms started to glow a Light Blue aura. "Take this double Chainsaw Beam!" Two Light Blue beams in the shape of Chainsaws fired at the Red Ranger. Instinctively Gallus crossed his Twin Swords together into an X to try & protect himself. "He's...too...strong!" The Red Ranger said he was just barely able to hold the 2 Chainsaw Beams back. The force of them starting to push in back. "Hahaha & Once Herr Slice & Dice is done with you, your friends & The Tree of Harmony is next!" Said Dark Claw he & The Monster laughing evilly. "No, I can't let this happen." The Red Ranger thought. "You Will Not Hurt My Friends!" Inside Gallus's helmet his eyes went white. Then he was able to use his Twin Swords to throw 2 Chainsaw Beam back at Slice & Dice. An anime split screen showed Silverstream, Smolder, Sandbar, Yona, Ocellus, Johnson, Lighting Wing, Slice & Dice, Dark Claw, and The Silhouetted Goat were all in shock "OH, CRAP BASKETS!!" The Monster yelled before the 2 Chainsaw Beams hit him & cause him to crash into a large rock severely damaging him. "Herr Slice & Dice!" Dark Claw said running to the Monster. He then glared at the Red Ranger. "You win this round Power Rangers!" He said then made a small black portal on the ground that fell into, so they could retreat for now. Then there was a white flash of light. Gallus staggered a little, drained, he felt tired all over. He collapsed but found himself supported by somepony. He looked up to find The Ghost Knight Johnson now in his pony disguise looking down at him worriedly & then looked around he saw that he & his friends were back inside of The Castle of The Two Sisters. "Are you alright?" He asked worry clear on his face and in his voice. "I feel great." Gallus said in a sarcastic tone. "Glad to see you haven't lost your sarcasm." Said Johnson setting Gallus down against a wall then looked at the rest of the Rangers. "What about the rest of you?" "Are you all okay?" They all nodded. "A little bruised and battered but I'll live." Said the Orange Ranger. "I've had bigger beatdowns when I was sparring with my brother. Said the Black Ranger. "I'm impressed." "Not only did you all thrash those Orcs, use some of your powers without any training, and you all were able to protect The Tree of Harmony." "It's clear to me now that you are destined to be the Power Rangers & save the world & I will be here to help all of you every step of the way." He said with a proud smile. "Um thanks." Said Gallus, his tone changing from sarcastic to somber. "Oh by the way how to we um you know." He said pointing to the suit he was wearing. "Oh right!" "To deactivate the suit simply say power down." Explained Johnson. "Power down." The Young 6 all said at the same time & with that, they were back to normal & The Sword Morphers turned into small round shields on their wrist. "Wow, the Morphers can transform too," Silverstream said then she noticed that Vice Headstallion Sunburst & the other students were standing behind Johnson but they didn't move or speak. "Wait are they?" "Frozen in time, yes, but they can't see or hear anything right now," Johnson explained "Are you going to unfreeze them?" Asked Ocellus in pain. "Yes but first." He said before beating himself up. "What are you.." Before Smolder could finish her sentence Sunburst & the other students became unfrozen. "It's the missing students & Mr. Johnson Knightly!" Sunburst said happy to see them but then noticed that they were hurt. "What happen to you?" He asked "We took a nasty fall." Mr. Johnson Knightly said "I can tell, you look like you just beat yourself up," Sunburst said Just then a portal appeared & Chancellor Neighsay came out of it. "There you are." He said with relief in his voice. "Chancellor Neighsay what are you doing here." Asked Sunburst "There's no time to explain we got to get out of here Headmare Starlight is hurt!" "What?!?" Said Sunburst without hesitation he & the rest of the group jumped into the portal. Lightning Wing was still keeping an eye on Starlight. "Where is Chancellor idiot?" He asked then right on cue a portal appeared & Chancellor Neighsay came out of it with Sunburst the students, the missing students & Mr. Johnson Knightly. "Starlight!” “Is she okay?” “And what happened out here it looks like a battlefield!" Sunburst said looking out the window at the aftermath of the Power Ranger's battle. "No talk time Hospital now!" Lightning Wing said putting Starlight on his back. "Right!" Sunburst said with a nod. Chancellor Neighsay then used his medallion to make a portal & to take them to a hospital then everypony jumped into the portal. Ponyville Urgent Care Hospital: It was a normal day until a portal came out of nowhere & a group of ponies came out of the portal. "What in Equestria?" Said Nurse Redheart a white Eathpony with a pink mane & tail. Her Cutie Mark was a medical cross with a heart in each corner. "No talk time Ms. Glimmer needs medical attention now!" Lightning Wing said before collapsing. "Ow my poor rips." He said in pain. "She is not the only one who needs medical attention from the looks of it." Nurse Redheart said looking at LIghtning Wing, Mr. Johnson Knightly & The Young 6. "What exactly happened?" She asked picking up the still unconscious Starlight. "You wouldn't believe us even if we told you." Said, Gallus Commercial The Dead Rotting swamp inside the goat-shaped cavernous: The silhouetted goat was trying to wrap his mind around what he just saw through the Eye of The Arimaspi. "It's just not possible, there is no way they could have survived that final battle no creature could have.” “Unless someone else found a way to restore their powers or one of those Rangers did survive and has been waiting for my return all these centuries." "Hmm." The silhouetted goat said stroking his beard. Just then Slice & Dice and Dark Claw literally dropped in falling from a small black portal and landing hard on the ground. "So you two decide to return after failing me." The silhouetted goat said but he didn't seem to be mad about it. "Yeah only because you & Dark Claw lied to me!" "You said all I have to worry about were little ponies, YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT POWER RANGERS!!!!" Scream the monster in anger. "Um, excuse me as stimulating as this conversation is, I would appreciate it if you would get off me Herr Slice & Dice!" Said Dark Claw though his voice was muffled. "Oops sorry, mate." Slice & Dice said getting off of Dark Claw & helping him up. "I assume you have a good reason why you didn't warn us about the Power Rangers." Dark Claw said while cracking his back. "I didn't warn you about them because I thought I destroyed them 2000 years ago." Said the silhouetted goat "What 2000 years?!?" "Just what kind of dark spirit am I working for?" Dark Claw thought to himself. "Well that's very interesting Master Goat unfortunately you forgot one little detail." Said Slice & Dice "What would that be?" Asked the silhouetted goat "The Power Rangers can't be destroyed, you moron!" Slice & Dice yelled "You better watch your tongue you insignificant insect." Said the silhouetted goat ready the blast the monster with his magic. "Look goat dude I'm sure you are very powerful, but dozens of other bad guys have tried to destroy the Rangers and none have succeeded." "Diabolico, Astroneman, Mesagog, not even the mighty Lord Zedd could do it." "But hey if you want to do something that can't be done go right ahead but you're going to have to find another monster to do it." "Because I'm not fighting the Power Rangers again and there’s is no way you're going make me!" Slice & Dice said walking away before a Dark Black Aura surrounded him and stopped him in his tracks. "Oh yes, you will." Said Dark Claw his claw glowing the same Dark Black Aura. "In case you forgot I'm the one who gave you your powers Herr Slice & Dice & I can take them away just as easy." "Is that what you want is it?" Dark Claw asked while one of his fingers did a come here motion making Slice & Dice come in front of him. The monster growled in anger. "No." He said "Good now rest up we are going to need it for the new plan." Dark Claw said releasing Slice & Dice. "And I assume you have a plan?" Asked the silhouetted goat "Why of course I do master & once my plan is executed we can say Auf Wiedersehen to the Powers Rangers & everypony who lives in Ponyville!" Dark Claw said letting out an evil laugh "Very well Dark Claw once again you will accompany Slice & Dice." "Um, Master Goat I hate to be the one to break this to you, but Dark Claw couldn't win a fight against a toothpick." Said the monster. "Be that as it may, Dark Claw will do as he is told because I am The master and he is my servant, also besides myself Dark Claw is the only one who can summon the Orcs." "And Dark Claw do not fail me or else understand?" Said the silhouetted goat glairing at Dark Claw. "Yes, Master." Said Dark Claw bowing. Ponyville Urgent Care Hospital: After Mr. Johnson Knightly and The Young 6 were treated for the injuries, and discharging the students that weren't hurt and went back to The School of Friendship, Lightning Wing and Chancellor Neighsay told the doctors what happened but they did leave out the part about The Tree of Harmony because they didn't want to cause a panic, and while the doctors didn't believe them about the Power Rangers, they did kind of believe them about Dark Claw and Slice & Dice mainly because of all the strange creatures that live in the Everfree Forest & all the bad guys that The Main 6 have fought and defeated over the years. "So are the students & Mr. Knightly going to be alright?" asked Lightning Wing his right hoof & chest bandaged up as the doctor was looking at his X-rays. "Oh don't worry about them just got a few scrapes and bruises they will be fine." "Also for my green friend from the looks of your X-rays, it looks like you just have a sprained hoof & a few bruised ribs." "Yes, all things considered, you're a lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, luck young stallion especially after fighting a Chainsaw Monster." Said Doctor Horse almost cracking up when he said Chainsaw Monster. "Do I have a concussion?" Lightning Wing asked the Doctor "What?" Doctor Horse asked in confusion "Do I have a concussion?" Lightning Wing repeated the question "No." Said the Doctor "Then stop laughing & looking at me like I'm crazy." "Besides Sun Burst was there too he can vouch for me." Said, Lightning Wing "Yes I was there & I did see both Dark Claw & The Monster Slice & Dice but didn't see any multi-colored superheroes in spandex." "What were they called again Ranger Powers?" "Power Rangers or at least that's what Chainsaw Arms & Cloak Boy called them and I can also tell you that they can kick some serious but!" Lightning Wing said "That I will agree with you Lighting Wing, though the name Power Rangers has got to be the most ridiculous name I have ever heard of." Said Chancellor Neighsay "Starlight Glimmer, Lightning Wing, Dark Claw, Slice & Dice, Chancellor Nincompoop." Lightning Wing said with a smile “And, I retract my previous statement." Said The Chancellor though he was still mad that Lighting Wing was insulting him, he was glad that he didn't call him Chancellor idiot. "Wow from idiot to Nincompoop your vocabulary is improving," said Mr. Johnson Knightly. The group of ponies turned to see The Young 6 & Mr. Johnson Knightly sporting a few bandages, but nothing too severe. "Glad to see that you kids are ok." "You too Mr. Knightly!" Lightning Wing said grinding his teeth & glaring at the teacher. "Hmm, I haven't even gotten to know you for even a day, but I'm beginning to think that you have a thing against The EEA and ponies hired or recommended by The Equestria Educational Association." Said, Mr. Johnson Knightly "Hahaha, you think!?!" Lightning Wing yelled “Shhh.” Everypony turned to see Nurse Redheart. "You may not have a concussion, but Ms. Starlight Glimmer does so can you please keep your voice down?" She asked in a stern but polite voice. Everypony gasped. "Is she going to be okay?" Gallus asked looking worried "She'll be fine she just needs to rest for a few days & lay off any paperwork & using her magic for a week." Said Nurse Redheart. "Oh, that's just great 6 injured students & The Headmare with a concussion The EEA is going to have a field day with this one." “As if they weren’t giving The School of Friendship enough problems.” Lightning Wing said burying his face in his hooves. "Okay, that's it what is your problem?" Chancellor Neighsay asked Lighting Wing "My problem?" Lightning Wing asked Chancellor Neighsay "I know I have made a few mistakes in the past, trusted two Con artists to run a School of Friendship over the literal Princess of Friendship and let my prejudice get the best of me, but I am trying to make up for all that.” “So at the very least, you could treat me and the Equestria Educational Association with some respect!" Chancellor Neighsay said to Lightning Wing in a whisper yelling tone. "But I am treating you with the respect you deserve, none." Lightning Wing said in the same whisper yelling tone. "What?" said Chancellor Neighsay "You don't demand respect from others you earn it, and personally not only do I think Canterlot snobs like you not only have earned absolutely no respect for anything, but you also think every school in Equestria must follow your stupid, ridiculous, & out-of-date rules, and on top of that you wouldn't even let Princess Twilight Sparkle or even Princess Celestia run there own schools the way they wanted to, and all because you think that you're above then!" Lightning Wing said in a whisper yelling tone getting in front of The Chancellor's face. Chancellor Neighsay & everypony was shocked at what Lighting Wing said: "Wh-wh I I don't think I'm above the Princesses!" Said Chancellor Neighsay in shock "Well, you could have fooled me!" Lightning Wing said turning around and smacking The Chancellor in the face with his tail and then started to walk away. "Hey, where do you think you are going?" Asked Doctor Horse Lightning Wing turned around his face red and his eye twitching. "To go for a fly and blow off some steam before I make a scene.” He said trying to hold back his anger the best he could. "Oh, okay that's a good idea just don't overexert yourself, you are still hurt." The doctor said a little scared by Lightning Wing's angry face. "I'll keep that in mind doc." Lightning Wing said before storming off, well as well as a pony with a sprained hoof and bruised ribs could storm off. "Wow, that pony has some anger issues," Smolder said breaking the brief uncomfortable silence after Lightning Wing left. "Is he always like that?" Chancellor Neighsay asked Sunburst while rubbing his face in pain "I don't know." "Starlight actually knows more about him than I do." "Speaking of which can I see her?" Sunburst asked worried about his friend. Nurse Redheart smiled. "Of course, you can.” “Just remember to keep your voice down." Sunburst, Chancellor Neighsay, Mr. Johnson Knightly, and The Young 6 all walked into Starlight's hospital room. The group all gasped when they saw Starlight who had a bag of ice on her head with Band-Aids wrapped around her head to keep the bag of ice in place. She also had a black eye. "Starlight I'm so glad you're all right!" Sunburst said running up & hugging his friend. "Me too, though the doctors have this ridiculous idea that I have a concussion." "Whoa Sunburst I didn't know you had a twin brother," Starlight said but in actuality, she was just seeing double due to her concussion, and because that Chancellor Neighsay and everypony knew that couldn't yet ask her how Lighting Wing was able to shoot lighting from his wings. But that didn't mean she had a few questions of her own. "So what happened to me, how did I end up in the hospital, who were those two guys, where's Lighting Wing, and is it lunchtime because I'm hungry.” Starlight’s tummy started to rumble "Well, I have an answer for that last question because lunch is ready." Said a Nurse Pony wheeling in a tray of food. She was called Nurse Sweetheart she was small, had a pink coat, purple & white stripes mare & tail similar to Princess Twilight's, & a bedsheet with 4 pink hearts in corners for her Cutie Mark. "Oh, and sweetie no using your magic you have to eat like an Earth Pony." Nurse Sweetheart said in a motherly tone while rubbing Starlight's head. Starlight nodded & then started to eat her salad like an Earth Pony while Chancellor Neighsay told Starlight everything. "Wow, that's hard to believe." Starlight said while chewing on a leaf of lettuce with carrot shavings. Chancellor Neighsay sighed in annoyance. "I know how crazy it sounds but I'm telling you what I saw." "Oh no, I believe you about the Pony Rangers." Starlight said with a smile "Actually they're called Power Rangers." "Wait you believe me?" Chancellor Neighsay said in shock "Well yeah, I mean with all the equestrian legends that proved out to be real over the years I'm willing to believe in anything." "What's hard to believe is the amazing magic they have." Said Starlight finishing her salad and then started to eat her grilled cheese tomato and pickle sandwich with a cute smile on her face. "Yeah, I was awesome-ow, I mean we-ow, I mean they sounded awesome from the way you describe them," Silverstream said with Smolder elbowing her on her hurt side to stop her from spilling the beans about her new secret identity. This got raised eyebrows from Chancellor Neighsay, Sunburst, and Starlight. "Sorry whenever I hear about something so amazing and cool as these Power Rangers guys, I sometimes trip over my own words & these bruises hurt when I move," Silverstream said with a nervous smile hoping they would buy it. "Oh, it’s okay Silverstream that used to happen to me all the time when I was a Colt," Sunburst explained. Silverstream sighed in relief while Johnson mouthed to Silverstream to keep her mouth shut. "Anyway, you guys sure are lucky those Superheroes came when they did." Sandbar said trying to change the subject "Yes, one minute with that chainsaw monster & we would have been shredded like paper." Chancellor Neighsay "Well if that monster wants to show his face again Princess Twilight & her friends can handle it just like they always do." Said, Gallus "I'm not so sure." Starlight said in a worried tone. "What do you mean?" Asked Gallus "Well my memory is starting to come back and I remember blasting that Chainsaw Monster with everything I had and it didn't even scratch him, & I doubt Twilight wouldn't be able to do any better." Starlight said "Are you serious Headmare Starlight?" asked Ocellus "Trust me I used to be Twilight's student." "If they try to face that monster they'll get crushed." Starlight said in a serious tone causing everypony in the room to gasp "I hate to put a damper on the already cheery mood, but I just had a horrible thought." "Slice & Dice said that he needed to cut off a piece of The Tree of Harmony and give it to Master Goat." Said Chancellor Neighsay "Okay and?" Starlight asked not sure where The Chancellor was going with this. "So if Slice & Dice was getting a piece of The Tree of Harmony for Master Goat, then that means that Slice & Dice is just a Lackey for this Master Goat." Said Chancellor Neighsay "Please don't say what I think you are about to say," Sunburst said sounding scared "Which means that this Master Goat is even more powerful & Equestria might be in more danger than it has ever been." Chancellor Neighsay said in a chilling voice. "I was afraid you were going to say that!" Said Sunburst looking like he was going to have a nervous breakdown, eye twitching, and everything. "Will you get a hold of yourself panicking is not going to help our situation & besides your a teacher, you're supposed to be their role models! Said Mr. Johnson Knightly in a strict tone while pointing to The Young 6. "Sorry, he's just not used to end-of-the-world stuff like I am." Starlight said while bringing her friend to her bedside & petting him like a kitty cat to calm him down. "Fortunately for us, we seem to have a new ally, these Power Rangers they might just be our hope to stop this new evil. Said Chancellor Neighsay "So...it's...truth...then?" Said, Gallus who sounded scared. Everypony turned to see Gallus his irises and pupils becoming pinpricks. "Gallus are you okay?" Asked Starlight Gallus was in deep thought. “Princess Twilight is one of the most powerful ponies in Equestria but if she and her friends are not strong enough to stop this Dark one, then does that really mean it is our destiny to stop this Dark One?” “But what if it’s also our destiny to fail?” “What if were not strong enough?” “What if I’m not strong enough?” “I don’t want to fight this Dark one, but if I don’t Equestria will be destroyed.” “Gallus?” “Hello, Gallus?” “Huh?” The Blue Griffin was broken out of his deep thinking by Silverstream tapping his shoulder. “Gallus, are you alright?” Asked Silverstream “Griffin friend not looking good.” Said Yona “Silverstream I I I I I I gotta get some air!” Gallus said then flew out of the room through a nearby window. “Gallus!” Everypony said before he was gone. “Poor Gallus, the test that the tree gave him, must have been harder on him than I thought.” Said Starlight “What did you just say?” Asked Chancellor Neighsay in bewilderment “Oh, I mean that somepony should go after Gallus!” “See, that's what I meant to say!” Starlight said with her usual nervous laugh. “Headmare Starlight’s delusions from her concussion aside, she is right about one of us going after Gallus & I volunteer myself.” Said Mr. Johnson Knightly. “In the meantime, Chancellor Neighsay & Vice Headstallion Sunburst should stay here with Headmare Starlight.” “What about us?” Asked Sandbar “Well I know you are worried about Gallus, but you can’t leave until the doctor discharges you.” “But if you need something to do there’s probably a Rec Room downstairs where you could play BINGO.” Mr. Knightly suggested “Yes, I always wanted to play BINGO!” Silverstream Screamed while jumping into the air. “Owww!” Said Starlight holding her head in pain. “Oops sorry Headmare Starlight, I forgot to keep my voice down,” Silverstream said in a whispering voice “It’s find Silverstream, you all go and have some fun.” “I’m going to try and get some sleep,” Starlight said lying down as The Young 5 and Mr. Johnson left the room. “Sunburst can you get the curtains?” Starlight asked her friend “Sure Starlight.” He said closing the curtains. “At least things can't get any worse.” Sunburst thought to himself. Ponyville Dam: A group of pony tourists were getting a tour of the place when all of a sudden Orcs, Slice & Dice, and Dark Claw came out of a small black portal in front of the ponies. Dark Claw smiled evilly at them. “Hello, My Little Ponies.” Commercial Ponyville Urgent Care Hospital’s Rec Room: The Young 5 were playing BINGO. “B44, O73, N27, G89, I18.” Announced The BINGO pony picking up numbers “BINGO, BINGO, BINGO!!!” Silverstream yelled while jumping up & down in her seat while her friends and other ponies groaned in anger. “Oh come on!” Said one of the ponies That’s the 5th time in a row!” Said Sandbar “This game is rigged.” Said Yona who then smashed her table “I hate BINGO.” Said Smolder “Me too!” Said a very old pony who sat in a wheelchair “Then why are you playing BINGO?” Asked Smolder “BINGO I thought we were playing cricket!” “I want my money back!” Said the old pony “Alright, Mr. Wilson it’s time for your nap.” Said a nurse pony wheeling him out of the Rec Room. “What a nap?” “Don’t be ridiculous I'm wide awake I don’t feel tired at all!” The old pony then fell asleep instantly. Don’t mind him he’s just having one of his bad days.” Said the nurse pony “He’s not the only one.” Said the orange dragon snorting smoke out her nose. “I hope Gallus is having more fun than we’re having.” Then The Young 5 heard a familiar sound “What in Equestria is that sound?!?” Asked the nurse pony who was wheeling Mr. Wilson the old pony “It sounds like Chainsaw Arms of an Alien Chainsaw Monster!” Said Mr. Wilson the old pony “Oh no.” The Young 5 said all at the same time. They then all ran to the Lady’s restroom except for Sandbar who went into the Men’s Room. Starlight’s Bedroom: Starlight was covering her head with her pillows trying to block the noise. “Is now really the time to cut the bushes?” “Hey you do you mind keeping it down, some ponies are trying to Sleeeeeeeeep!!!” Said Sunburst opening the curtains to reveal the back of Slice & Dice standing in front of the window. Slice & Dice then turned around to see the 3 ponies in the bedroom. “Oh, hello there do you know where I can find The Power Rangers?” ”Dice & Slice you looking for us?” The monster turned around to see 5 of the 6 Power Rangers ready to fight while the spectators in the hospital which included Starlight & Sunburst looked on in shock. “It’s Slice & Dice!” The Monster corrected “And yes I was looking for you because I want a rematch against you wankers. ”I’ll give you a rematch!” Said The Black Ranger ”No Smolder we can’t fight him here if we do innocent bystanders will get hurt.” Whispered The Blue Ranger “But if you want to fight, then you’re going to have to catch me first!” The monster said before running away. ”Hey get back here monster!” Said the Yellow Ranger “Come back here so I can kick your butt!” Said the Black Ranger ”Hey, wait for me!” Said the Pink Ranger “Come on Sandbar he’s getting away!” Said the Blue Ranger running after him with her superspeed “Guys wait something doesn’t seem right!” Said the Orange Ranger running after his friends. “Were those guys The Power Rangers?” Asked Starlight “Yes now, do you believe me Sunburst?” Asked Chancellor Neighsay. Sunburst just fainted. “I’ll take that as a yes.” Slice & Dice was running through Ponyville at top speed, ponies were running/dodging away from the monster. Slice & Dice looked back to see the Power Rangers following him which is what he wanted. But then he noticed the Blue Ranger was gaining on him. “Looks like the blue one as some speed I got to slow her down.” Slice & Dice thought to himself, he then cut down a cabbage cart sending cabbages flying & causing the Blue Ranger to trip on one of the cabbages. “Sorry about that Mr.” Said Ocellus before running off with the rangers not far behind her “What’s Slice & Dice, afraid of a little fire?” Said Smolder while swinging her Chain Mace “Yak is ready to smash monster!” Said Yona crushing some of the cabbages as she ran. “Will you hurry it up Mr. slowpoke?” Said Silverstream trying to get a clear shot of the Monster while she ran. “Guys wait!” Said Sandbar trying to keep up with his friends After a few minutes of running, Slice & Dice was at the Ponyville Dam. “Perfect.” “Hey, what’s wrong Power Rangers too slow to keep up?” Taunted Slice & Dice “No one calls me slow!” Smolder said swinging her Spike Chain Mace at Slice & Dice and then it wrapped around his legs tripping him & making him fall on his face. “A-ha, now I got ya!” “I’m sorry, who’s got who now?” Asked the monster with a chuckle The rest of the Rangers caught up to Smolder. “Guys wait this might be a...” Before Sandbar could finish Orcs came from all directions & surrounded the Rangers. “trap.” “No duh it’s a trap!” Said Lightning Wing who was in chains with the pony tourist. “What is Green Pegasus doing here?’ Asked Yona “I was trying to save these ponies but I got captured like you idiots!” Lightning Wing said in annoyance “Don’t be so sure about that!” Said Silverstream “Yeah we beat these guys twice & we can do it again.” Said Smolder “I don’t think so.” Said Dark Claw leaning on the edge of the dam. Silverstream was getting ready to fire an arrow at him. “Not so fast fraulein, drop your weapons or the little fraulein gets it.” “Oh, and by the way, my grip is pretty weak.” Said Dark Claw revealing Dinky Doo, a little grey/purple unicorn filly with a yellow mane and golden eyes. Dark Claw was holding her by the head and dangled her over the dam. The unicorn filly was terrified Ocellus gasped. “You wouldn’t!” “Try me Blue fraulein.” Dark Claw said with an evil grin The Rangers had no choice but to drop their weapons before being grabbed and held by the Orcs. Then one of the Orcs helped untangled Slice & Dice’s legs from the Chain Mace. Then he noticed something odd. “Wait a minute there’s only 5 of them, were the Red Ranger?” The Rangers were silent. “Herr Slice & Dice asked you a question I suggest you answer it and answer it honestly.” He said still holding Dinky over the dam. “We don’t know where Red Friend is.” said Yona “And even if we did we wouldn’t tell you!” Sandbar said “Oh well, 5 out of 6 is better than nothing.” Dark Claw said putting Dinky into his other arm & holding her tight. “Kill them, Herr Slice & Dice.” The Rangers close their eyes & brace themselves for pain and the Monster was about to cut them into ribbons. “Yeah, sure go ahead and do that.” Said, Lightning Wing “WHAT!?!?” Said everypony turning to The Green Pegasus. “I mean it’s your funeral but don’t let that stop you.” Lightning Wing said “What in tarnation are you talking about?” Asked Slice & Dice “Don’t listen to him you idiot, Kill the Rangers!” Said Dark Claw in anger “Think about it Chrome Dome if you take them out, then the red guy is going want revenge on the one who did it, and if you think you can handle that, then you don’t know the first rule about Superheroes.” “The most dangerous ones are the ones who have nothing to lose.” “But I’m just a glorified security guard, so what do I know?” Lightning Wing said Slice & Dice looked scared out of his mind he didn’t want to take on the Power Rangers, let alone one that had nothing to lose. “Maybe we should wait until the Rad Ranger gets here.” Slice & Dice said sounding scared “You stupid bucket of bolts don’t listen to that idiot we need to take out the Rangers now!” “NO DARK CLAW!!!” Scream Master Goat who was somehow speaking to Dark Claw with telepathy. “Master?” Dark Claw thought “The Green Pegasus is right I can’t afford any loose ends!” “I am not going to make the same mistakes that led to my defeat!” “Unless of course, you are 100% sure that The Red Ranger can’t survive the flood because if he does you alone will suffer the consequences, and then you will be begging me to kill you to end your suffering!” “So I suggest that you make your choices wisely if you value your pathetic little life.” Said, Master Goat “Yes, Master.” Dark Claw said “Alright Herr Slice & Dice we will wait but in the meantime, you Orc unmask the Yellow Ranger for me. “With pleasure.” Said one of the Orcs walking up to Yona and grabbing her helmet to try and reveal her secret identity.” “Except...this...helmet...won't..come...off!” While the Orc was failing in taking the Yak’s helmet off of her head, he was starting to hurt Yona’s head from all the yanking, so she head-butted him causing to orc to stumble back and fall off the dam. “You see this is why before hiring foot soldiers or henchmen you need to give them an IQ test first.” Said, Lightning Wing “Oh, don’t worry those Orcs are just made of dust.” “They can’t feel a thing.” Said Silverstream “Well your haft right Pink fraulein.” “But no matter The Red Ranger will come & get captured.” “After all we have the perfect bait & the perfect hostage.” Said Dark Claw. “Orcs tie them up.” The Orc then wrapped the Rangers in chains. Dark Claw watched this while stroking Dinky like a cat with his claw which Dinky nor Lightning Wing didn’t liked one bit. “You know as soon I get out of these chains, I'm going to give you the beating of a lifetime.” Lightning Wing said glaring at Dark Claw. “Hahaha, keep dreaming Herr Lightning keep dreaming. Ponyville Town Square: Mr. Johnson Knightly was still looking for Gallus but he wasn’t having luck in doing so. “Where could he be?” Mr. Johnson Knightly asked himself while looking around for the Griffin. “Alright Johnson think, you are a blue sarcastic teenage Griffin, you have just become a Knight with the job of protecting the Earth from an ancient evil, but this is a little too much for me to take in all at once so I need some alone time to think.” “Where would I be?” Johnson said to himself. “Technically you are none of those things.” Johnson jumped to see a tall yellowish-gray Earth Pony with a short brown mane & tail and a stick in the mud as his cutie mark. This was Mudbriar. “But if you’re looking for Gallus he’s right over there.” Said Mudbriar’s girlfriend Maud Pie, a small Persian bluish-gray Earth Pony with grayish blue-violet main & tail, who wore a blueish-gray dress. She pointed to where Gallus was sitting sadly on a park bench. “Oh thank you strange couple I never met before.” Said Johnson “Technically we never said we were a couple.” Said Mudbriar “But it is kind of obvious since we're holding hooves.” Maud pointed out. “Oh by the way your welcome strange pony we never met before. She said before she & her boyfriend walked away. Johnson sighed, then walked to Gallus. “Sitting on a park bench brooding alone by yourself, very original Gallus.” Gallus then lifted his head to see Johnson. “Oh!” “It’s you.” “Look Johnson, I’m sorry I yelled at you earlier today.” Johnson gave Gallus a sympathetic look. “There is no need to apologize Gallus.” “Can I sit next to you?” “Um sure,” Gallus said “You know Gallus if it makes you feel better I spent the whole week searching the globe trying to find anyone to take you & your friend’s place.” Said Johnson “You did?” Gallus asked in surprise “Yes I did, but sadly the swords didn’t respond to anyone.” Said Johnson in a sad tone “Yeah, because destiny would allow it.” Said, Gallus “Yes, destiny can be a cruel mistress sometimes.” “Like for me & my team,” Johnson said sounding sad “What do you mean?” Asked the blue griffin “Well, Gallus we didn’t choose to become The Power Rangers,” Johnson said “Wait, you didn’t?!?” Gallus asked in shock “Nope, just like you & your friends, our lives were changed when we were given the Sword Morphers & charged with saving the world.” Said Johnson in a sorrowful tone “Well that doesn’t sound so bad, the world was ruled by darkness & you had a chance to save it.” Said, Gallus “Yes, that’s how we all felt until we met Ray.” The Ghost Knight said lowering his head “Who’s Ray?” Asked Gallus wondering why Johnson looked so sad “Ray was the youngest member of our team.” “In fact, he was about the age as that colt with the ball over there.” Said Johnson pointing to Pipsqueak, an Earth Pony with a brown mane and spots, one of which was over his left eye. Gallus was in complete shock. “Your kidding right?” “I wish I was, but the fact is that was his destiny to save the world with us, and as hard as we tried we couldn’t change his destiny.” “Nor could I change my destiny because whether I knew it or not it was my destiny to seal the evil away, wait here to train the next generation of warriors & unable to see my friends again until the Dark One was destroyed once and for all.” Said Johnson shedding a tear. Gallus started to cry & then hugged Johnson. “I’m so sorry, for what happened to you & Ray.” Johnson returned the hug “It’s okay Gallus.” “As a matter of fact, there was a bright side to all of it.” Gallus broke the hug & looked confused. “There was?” Johnson nodded without hesitation “Yes because Ray was destined to become a Power Ranger he was able to gain something he never had, a family.” Gallus gasped. “He was an orphan just like me.” He thought to himself “Also I got a chance to see the world for its beauty & see all the creatures of the world finally be free.” “I guess destiny as a flipside to it.” Said, Gallus “Correct Gallus, but destiny can also be a long series of chain events.” “For example, if Princess Luna never became Nightmare Moon, then Princess Celestia would never have to banish her sister to the Moon.” Said Johnson Then it hit Gallus. “Which would mean that The Elements of Harmony never would have to be used by Twilight & her friends, which means they would never become friends, The School of Friendship would never be made and that would mean that me & my friends would never have met!” “Exactly Gallus good things lead to bad things, leading to more good things or maybe that’s just life and we all have choices.” “But then again I’m just a 2000-year-old spirit, what could I possibly know about life or destiny.” Said Johnson with a smile on his face. “Or who knows maybe it was our destiny to have this conversation.” Said Gallus in a sarcastic tone which got a chuckle from Johnson “But I do know that one thing, you & your friends can save the world,” Johnson said with a smile “Because it’s our destiny?” Asked Gallus “No, because good always triumphs over evil, & whatever destiny made have instore for you won’t have to face it alone because you will have me & your friends by your side,” Johnson said with a smile Gallus smiled. “Maybe your right.” Just then a pony construction worker came running & crashed into the park bench with Gallus and Johnson. “Ow, watch where you’re going!” Said Johnson to the construction pony that was currently on top of him. “Can’t we got to get out of here before all of Ponyville is flooded!” The construction pony said “What are you talking about?” Gallus asked getting up “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you!” Said the construction pony “Try us, also please get off me.” Mr. Johnson Knightly said The construction pony got off Johnson & quickly told his story. “Well, I was working at the dam when all of a sudden these monsters appeared out of nowhere & took some ponies hostage.” “Wait, did these monsters happen to be a German guy in a cloak, a Chainsaw Monster, and some ugly guys with axes?” Asked Johnson “Yes, how did you know?” Asked the construction pony “Because we ran into them ourselves.” Said Chancellor Neighsay coming out of a portal. “Tell us what else do you know?” “Well, after that a Green Pegasus tried saving them but he got captured!” Said the construction pony “Oh no, Lightning Wing!” Said Chancellor Neighsay “And after that, some weird colored creatures came & also got caught themselves, then the German guy said after they get the Red one there going to flood Ponyville!” Said the construction pony “WHAT!?!” All 3 of them said at the same time in shock “Which is why we got to get out of here before Ponyville is underwater!” Said the construction pony “But that will only happen if the Red Power Ranger shows up.” Said The Chancellor “Red Power Who?” The construction pony asked in confusion “I’ll tell you later, the point is that gives us some time to evacuate Ponyville.” I’m going to Town Hall, Mare Mayor will listen to me.” Said Chancellor Neighsay “Me too we've been friends for years.” Said the construction pony. Chancellor Neighsay then used his medallion to make a portal & jumped into it to take him & the construction pony to Town Hall. “I’m going save those ponies & my friends.” Said, Gallus “You do know, as soon as they see you, they’re going to break the dam right?” Asked Johnson “Yes I know, but I just can’t sit here & do nothing while my friends & those ponies are in danger if there's something I can do to help!” Gallus said unwilling to let his friends get hurt Johnson smiled. “Then you’re going to need this.” He gave Gallus the same medieval chainmail armor from earlier. “Be careful.” “You’re not coming with me?” Asked Gallus “Believe me I want to, but the Dark One is most likely watching this through Dark Claws’ eyes and if he recognizes me through my disguise then it could jeopardize the entire mission.” Said Johnson in a serious tone. “Besides I’m going back to the Castle of the Two sisters to perform a powerful spell to prevent Ponyville from flooding just in case you & the others are unable to do so.” Gallus nodded. “Alright, good luck.” “You too.” Said Johnson before the two went their separate ways. Commercial Two Orcs had been patrolling in front of the stair entrance of the Ponyville Dam for ten minutes and unsurprisingly they were bored. “Why are we waiting for him?” “He’s got to know if he shows up he’s dead.” Said one of the Orcs “He wouldn’t be able to help himself, heroes like him always fall for traps like this because they’re so stupid.” The Orc said chuckling to himself. He then turned around to see his companion knocked out cold. “Hey what happened to...” He said before getting knocked out cold himself with a large rock by Gallus who was now wearing his medieval chainmail armor. “I’m sorry, who’s the stupid one?” Gallus whispered. He then quietly went up the stairs entrance. When he got to the top he saw his friends, the Pony Tourist, some more Orcs, Slice & Dice, and Dark Claw who was holding a small filly. Luckily the only one who noticed Gallus was Lightning Wing but Gallus quickly shushed him. Lightning Wing then mouthed. “Do you need a distraction?” Gallus nodded and the Lightning Wing got an idea. “Hey, Slice Boy!” Lightning Wing “I told you mate the name is Slice & Dice and I thought I told you to shut up.” Said The Monster “Fine, I just wanted to play a game of 20 Questions.” Said Lightning Wing which got weird looks from everypony “Why?” Asked Dark Claw looking confused “I don’t know, may because we have nothing better to do until the red guy gets here, & you're probably about as bored as I am.” Lightning Wing said Dark Claw had a feeling that The Green Pegasus was up to something, but he quickly shook off that thought because he knew that The Green Pegasus couldn’t do anything while he was chained up. “Sure why not?” “I’ll start.” “First question, are you as dumb as you look?” “I don’t know, are you?” Asked Lightning Wing which got a laugh out of Slice & Dice “You walked right into that one you big meanie.” Said Dinky “Hey, you stay out of this!” Dark Claw said to the filly “How can I stay out of this if you won’t let me go?” “You really are as dumb as you look, and considering that you're hiding your face under that hood you must look really dumb.” Said Dinky getting a laugh from everypony “She got you there Dark Claw.” Said The Monster “Hey, last time I checked you’re not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed yourself Slice & Dice!” Said Dark Claw getting in his face. “Hey, that reminds me I have a question for you to Slice & Dice.” Said, Lightning Wing “Me?” Slice & Dice asked “Yes, is it that your body is too massive for your teeny-tiny head, or is it that your head is too teeny-tiny for your big fat body?” Lightning Wing said with a smirk on his face. While the Pony Tourist & the Rangers couldn’t believe that he was insulting the two monsters, they weren't sure if he was brave or just crazy, or maybe both. “That’s it I have had enough of your mouth, Slice & Dice kill him!” Dark Claw commanded. “I’ll do so with pleasure.” The Monster said ready to cut like a tree. “Yes I’m sure you will but before you do, can I have one more question?” Lightning Wing said looking scared “Sure, why not?” Asked Dark Claw with a smirk Lightning Wing then got a smirk on his face. “You two idiots ever hear of a distraction?” They then heard the sound of chains breaking & turned to see someone dressed in medieval chainmail armor with one of the Orc’s axes with the Orcs themselves already turned into dust. The two barely had any time to react as The Pink Ranger grabbed her bow & fired 4 arrows, 3 of which hit the monster sending him back a few feet & the last arrow breaking the chains that bonded Lightning Wing & the Pony Tourist. “Nice shot!” Lightning Wing said before freeing the other ponies & grabbing one of the chains spinning them like a lasso. “Ah-ah-ah, remember I still have the little fraulein, and unless you want her to get..” Before Dark Claw could finish he was hit in the back of the head with a bag full of mail by a gray, walleyed Pegasus mare with a yellow mane and golden eyes, her Cutie Mark bubbles, and a mail pony's hat on. “Nobody hurts my little muffin & gets away with it!” Said Derpy Hooves “Mama!” Dinky said hugging her mother with her mother hugging her back Dark Claw was about to throw up from the sweet moment, but just then a chain wrapped around him pinning his arms to his side, then Lightning Wing got up into his face & glared intensely at him. “I’m going to enjoy this far more than I should.” Lightning Wing then started to beat the crap out of Dark Claw while Derpy & Dinky watched & cringed. “Oh, I’m sorry sweetie did you want a swing at the big meanie?” Lightning Wing asked Dinky holding the chained & beaten up Dark Claw “No thank you, Mr.” Said Dinky said shaking her head “I don’t condone violence.” Said Derpy holding Dinky “You’re a good mother.” Said Lightning Wing before going back to beating the crap out of Dark Claw “Oww, what in tarnation hit me?” Asked Slice & Dice, then he noticed the Rangers were free & someone wearing medieval chainmail armor. “Hey, who do think you are mate?” “Knight’s Defenders Knights Forever!" Said, Gallus then he instamorphed “So you decided to show up around 2 after all,” Asked the monster ready for a fight. “Alright, guys here is the plan, Blue & Pink get these ponies out of here,” “Orange, Yellow & Black were going to take this guy down.” Said Gallus taking charge. “And Green Pegasus?” “Yeah?” said Lightning Wing holding the chained & beaten up Dark Claw ” Keep doing that.” Said Gallus “Well, if you insist.” “Piledriver!” Said Lightning Wing as he jumped into the air & delivered a jumping elbow drop to Dark Claw. Slice & Dice charged ahead intending to hurt the Pony Tourist but thankfully he was stopped by Gallus & his Twin Swords. Then Smolder wrapped his arms in her Spike Chain Mace. “Oh come on, not again!” Said Slice & Dice who could not believe that he had been chained up 3 times in one day. “Take hammer monster!” Said Yona charging ahead & with a boost from Sandbar’s and his Can Staff she was able to jump high into the air and was coming down with her War Hammer ready to hit him with her War Hammer hard. “Oh no, you don’t!” Said the monster using his strength to lift Smolder into the air and causing her to crash into Yona and then the two of them were about to fall into the water below. But just then a huge leaf broke their fall. The huge leaf in question came from Sandbar’s Can Staff. “Cool!” “How did I do that?” He Asked “You sure be asking yourself how am I going to survive this!” Said the monster who slipped out of the Spike Chain Mace and then slashed The Orange Ranger. “Oh no Sand...” Before Gallus could finish he was slashed by Slice & Dice. “Chainsaw monster is going to pay for that!” Said Yona getting angry “Yeah nobody hurts our friends and gets away with it!” Said Smolder picking up her Spike Chain Mace. “Oh, I’m sorry let me repay you in pain!” Said the monster as one of his chainsaw arms started to glow a Light Blue aura. “Chainsaw Beam!" A Light Blue beam in the shape of a Chainsaw fired at the Black & Yellow Rangers sending them flying and crashing into a wall. “Oww now I know how a punching bag feels.” Said the dragon. “Wow, this guy is tougher than he looks.” Said one of the Pony Tourists taking some pictures with her camera. “Less talking and watching more getting out of here!” Said ocellus “No one’s going anywhere!” Slice & Dice said as both of his chainsaw arms started to glow a Light Blue aura getting ready to fire his double chainsaw beam at the Rangers & the pony tourist. “Oh no, you don’t!” Said Silverstream firing arrows at Slice & Dice. But Slice & Dice cut every arrow in half before they hit him turning into water soaking his feet. Slice & Dice laugh evilly at the Pink Ranger “Hahahaha, do you really think a few drops of water is enough to stop me?” He boasted “Maybe not, but this might!” Said Lightning Wing’s voice. Just then Slice & Dice was electrocuted by lightning or more pacifically Lightning Wing zapped Slice & Dice’s soaked feet with some lighting that came from the tip of one of Lightning Wing's feathers. “Quite a shock isn't it hahaha.” Said Lightning Wing laughing at his terrible pun. Slice & Dice’s circuits were fried & he was smoking, literally. Slice & Dice could barely keep his balance wobbling around for a bit before tripping off the edge of the dam. “No!” Ocellus screamed running to try and save him but she was too late as he fell off the dam and into the water. “Oh man, I didn’t mean for that to happen!” Said Lightning Wing, even if the monster was evil he didn’t deserve to drown. “Oh, I wouldn’t worry about Herr Slice & Dice because he’s about to have a major growth spurt, hahaha!” Said Dark Claw while his claw glowed a pitch-black aura. Just then a giant black cocoon came out of the water and then a Giant Slice & Dice burst out of the giant black cocoon. “Crikey I’m huge!” Said the Giant Slice & Dice his voice echoing. “D-d-d-did not see that coming.” Said Lightning Wing sounding scared his irises becoming pinpricks. “Yes and I bet you didn’t see this one coming!” Dark Claw said headbutting Lightning Wing’s chest causing Lightning Wing to let go of Dark Claw and to hold his bruised ribs. “Auf Wiedersehen Power Rangers hahaha!” Said Dark Claw jumping off the dam and into a small black portal. “What are you going to do now puny Rangers?” Said, Giant Slice & Dice “How in Equestria are we going to stop him?!?! Asked Gallus “There is no need to worry.” Said The Ghost Knight’s Voice “Johnson?” Said all the Rangers at the same time. The Ghost Knight was speaking to them with telepathy. “2000 Years ago me and my fellow Legendary Knights called upon Ancient Beast in times of need, but ever since our war with The Dark One ended they have slept, waiting for the time when they are needed again, and NOW THAT TIME AS COME!!!!” Just then The 6 Ancient Beasts came out from underground just outside of Ponyville but these 6 Ancient Beasts weren’t beasts at all. In actuality, they were Giant Biomechanical Robots called Zords. RED ROC Zord BLUE DRAGONFLY Zord YELLOW BUGBEAR Zord BLACK PHOENIX Zord PINK SEA SERPENT Zord ORANGE FOREST WOLF Zord The Ponies of Ponyville, Lightning Wing, Derpy & Dinky, and The Power Rangers couldn’t believe what they were seeing. “Hey what in tarnation are you all staring at?” Asked Giant Slice & Dice. He then turned around to see the Zords. “Holy Boxing Kangaroos!” Then the Blue Dragonfly Zord used its giant wings to blow the Giant Monster to the other side of the dam with all the water. Then The Rangers looked at each other and nodded before jumping into each of the cockpits that controlled their respected Zords and thanks to their connection to The Morphing Grid they instantly knew how to pilot the Zords. The Pink Sea Serpent Zord dived into the water. Then surfaced and literally took a bite out of The Giant Monster before diving again. Silverstream and her Zord did this dive & surface combo attack 3 more times before getting caught in Giant Slice & Dice’s grip. “I’m going to cut your Zord like sushi!” Said Giant Slice & Dice “Not if Yak has anything to say about it!” Said Yona using her Yellow Bugbear Zord to headbutt The Giant Monster breaking his grip. “Thanks.” Silverstream said before she & her Zord dived back into the water. “Let’s see how Giant Chainsaw Monster Handles this!” Said Yona as her Zord used its 4 arms to pick up giant rocks and threw them at The Giant Monster. But Giant Slice & Dice just cut the two of the giant rocks in haft and the other 2 giant rocks didn't even phase him despite hitting him square on the face. “Is that all you got mate?!?” Asked The Giant Monster in a taunting tone. This only made Yona angry no one taunted a Yak and got away with it. Yona used her Yellow Bugbear Zord to fly headfirst at The Giant Monster, Giant Slice & Dice tried to slash at her but Yona was able to turn the tables on him by grabbing both of his Chainsaw arms. He then tried a surprise attack with his 2 Chainsaws Shoulder Pads, but Yona saw that coming and was able to use her Yellow Bugbear’s other arms to grab the 2 Chainsaws Shoulder Pads. Then using the Zors’s strength was able to suplex throw the giant monster into a nearby Mountain. “That’s it, now I’m really mad!” “Oh, you want some more?” “Okay then let’s turn up the heat!” Said Smolder pressing a button in the cockpit causing her Black Phoenix Zord to breathe fire on Giant Slice & Dice. “Hey I want to get in on some of this fun too!” Said Gallus pressing a button in the cockpit causing his Red Roc Zord to fire missiles from its wings. “Yeah, we got him!” However when the smoke cleared The Giant Monster wasn’t even scratched. “You got to be kidding me!” Said Smolder in disbelief “Double Chainsaw Beam!!!” Said Giant Slice & Dice firing two giant Light Blue beams in the shape of a Chainsaws at the 2 Zords. Gallus was able to dodge it but the same could not be said for Smolder who was hit hard and was going down. “Oh no, Smolder!” Gallus screamed Luckily Ocellus and her Blue Dragonfly Zord were able to catch her before she hit the ground. “Thanks for the save Ocellus.” Said Smolder. “No problem what are friends for?” Ocellus said “Oh this is just perfect now I can take 2 Rangers out at once!” Said Giant Slice & Dice getting ready for another Chainsaw Beam Attack. But before he could charge up Sandbar and his Orange Forest Wolf Zord jumped on the Giant Monster and was biting and clawing. “Your not hurting anypony as long as I’m here!” Said Sandbar “Get off of me you Meiji fleabag!” Said Giant Slice & Dice throwing the Zord off of him but thankfully the Zord was able to land on all 4 feet safely. “Okay then well let’s see what this Meiji fleabag can do!” Said Sandbar pressing a button in the cockpit causing his Orange Forest Wolf Zord to make a sonic Howell wave of sound that could be heard all across Equestria. Giant Slice & Dice covered his ears in pain. After Smolder’s Zord was stabilized Ocellus & Silverstream both pressed a button in their cockpits causing both of their Zords to do different things. Silverstream’s Pink Sea Serpent fired a hydro pump of water out of its mouth, while Ocellus’s Blue Dragonfly Zord fired blue beams of wind from its 4 wings all 3 attacks knocked The Giant Monster down, and just to make sure he was down Sandbar pressed another button in the cockpit causing his Orange Forest Wolf Zord to shoot green vines out of its tail to bind The Giant. However, even that wasn’t enough to keep him down as he just broke out of the green vines with only a few sparks coming out of his armor. “We've hit him with everything we got and it’s this not enough!” Said Gallus not sure what else they could do. “That is it!” “I have had just about enough of you pesky Power Rangers, prepare to feel my full power!!!” Screamed Giant Slice & Dice both of his Chainsaw Arms and chainsaws shoulder pads glowing a Light Blue aura. “G-guys please tell me he’s bluffing.” Said Silverstream hoping he was. “Sorry to say but I don’t think he is.” Said Smolder “Rangers listen to me quickly!” Said Johnson’s voice who was once again speaking to them with telepathy. “You must use your Sword Morphers to use the Zords full power against Slice & Dice! “But wait if we do that won't that destroy him?!?” Asked Ocellus not wanting to do that at all. “If you don’t then Slice & Dice will destroy you, the dam, and all of Ponyville.” “It’s the only way trust me.” Said Johnson sincerity in his voice. “Johnson is right, we don’t a choice!” Said Gallus reluctantly taking his Sword Morpher off his wrist and placing it in a slot in the cockpit and the other Rangers followed suit. Then their Zords started to glow an aura matching their colors. “Now you die, ULTIMATE CHAINSAW BEAM!!!!!” Scream Giant Slice & Dice firing 4 Giant Light Blue Beam in the shape of chainsaws that all came together into a Giant Light Blue X. But just then The 6 Zords each fired a beam of light matching their colors. There was a bit of a beam struggle but The 6 Zords were able to send Slice & Dice’s ultimate attack right back at him. After the blast Giant Slice & Dice could barely stand with sparks coming all out of his armor. “I can’t believe I’ve been cut down to siiiiiizzzeee!!!” Screamed Giant Slice & Dice while he was falling to the ground and then he exploded. The explosion could be seen from Canterlot. After that, the Rangers and their Zords disappeared in a white flash of light. Lightning Wing, Derpy, and Dinky were in complete shock, their jaws almost to the floor. “Did they just...?” Asked Dinky “Now now small and adorable little one, let’s not assume anything we don’t know anything yet.” “All we do know is that those Power Ranger Guys are here to protect us.” Said, Lightning Wing Last Commercial The Dead Rotting swamp inside the goat-shaped cavernous: The silhouetted goat just watched Slice & Dice be destroyed once again thanks to The Eye of The Arimaspi, and then Dark Claw fell from this small black portal still chained up. “So you return, despite failing me.” Said the silhouetted goat “I take it, Slice & Dice was destroyed?” Dark Claw said gulping in fear “Yes, but before I punish you, I need you to do something for me.” Said the silhouetted goat “What’s that Master?” Dark Claw asked in fear “Resurrect the Orc who came here earlier the one who was defeated by children, I have a feeling that those children that defeated him and the Power Rangers, are one in the same.” Said the silhouetted goat “Good idea Master, but sadly I can’t do that.” Dark Claw said nervously The silhouetted goat glared at him. “Why not?” “Well, because to resurrect something or someone I need a piece of them, but you completely disintegrated him. Dark Claw said. The silhouetted goat then blasted a large hole in the wall in frustration. “But, I can help you find out the Ranger’s secret identities, in exchange for two simple things.” “Name them.” The silhouetted goat said simply “Firstly I want revenge on that Green Pegasus Lightning Wing.” Dark Claw said grinding his teeth “Petty revenge understandable, and the other?” Asked the silhouetted goat “I want to know everything about you.” “Who you are, where did you come from, what's your motivation, everything.” The silhouetted goat smiled. “Bring me the Power Ranger’s secret identities and I shall tell you everything you wish to know.” Said the silhouetted goat who then freed Dark Claw from his chains. “But for now I have a different assignment for you.” “To defeat The Power Rangers I’m going to need brains, power, and experience.” “I need to assemble a small elite team of generals, and you Dark Claw are going to bring them to me.” Said the silhouetted goat “Yes of course master, I will bring you the most dangerous Villains Equestria has ever seen.” “Good.” “Oh, and Dark Claw you have 48 hours to do so.” The silhouetted goat said in a chilling voice. “Yes, Master.” Dark Claw said sounding scared before making a small black portal and jumping into it. “Minions always work better under pressure,” The silhouetted goat said walking to the large hole in the wall that he made. The Castle of The Two Sisters: The Young 6 appeared in a flash of white light, and there waiting for them was The Ghost Knight Johnson. “Congratulations Rangers you saved Ponyville,” Johnson said but then noticed that The Young 6 weren’t happy. “What's wrong you seem sad.” “You would be too if you had to destroy a monster.” “I know he was evil, but he didn’t deserve that.” Said Ocellus lowering her head in sorrow. “Well, I’m sure Slice & Dice will be happy to hear that.” Said Johnson revealing a sealed glass bottle in his hand which had a shrunken Slice & Dice inside who was trying to cut himself out but it wasn't working. The Rangers were in shock and even took off their helmets to make sure they were seeing what they thought they were seeing. “Who, what, where, when, why, how?" Smolder asked in confusion which got a chuckle from Johnson. “You see just before Slice & Dice was destroyed, I was able to trap him inside this bottle, & that explosion was just a little parlor trick to make the Dark One think we destroyed Slice & Dice.” Explained Johnson “But how?” Asked Smolder “And why?” “Not that I’m complaining.” Said Ocellus “So that maybe one day he can be reformed like you & the other changelings were Ocellus, and as for the how, well when you have 2000 years of free time to master magic you can do all most anything. Johnson said putting the glass bottle on a nearby Shelf. “Oh, and don’t try to push the bottle off because that won’t break it either.” Said Johnson, Slice & Dice then crossed his Chainsaw arms in anger. “Well, this has officially been the coolest day of my life, except for getting captured and almost killed of course.” Said Silverstream “No kidding, I can’t wait to tell my little sister that I’m a Superhero!” Said Sandbar in an exciting tone. “No Sandbar you can’t tell anyone you’re a Power Ranger.” Said Johnson in a serious tone “It’s okay, she’s just a baby she won’t be able to tell anyone.” Explained Sandbar “Oh, well that’s a very good point but your parents might hear you say that to your baby sister, and the fewer ponies that know, the safer they will be.” Explained Johnson ‘Oh yeah, your right that is Superhero 101 in comic books.” Said Sandbar though Johnson had no idea what Sandbar was talking about. “Any way you have all done well in taking your first step to your destiny, even if some of you still don’t believe in destiny right, Gallus?” Asked The Johnson Knight looking at the griffin Gallus shook his head “No, I still believe we choose our own paths, and right now I choose to protect The World with my friends if that’s okay with you guys.” Said Gallus looking at his friends “Well protecting The World also means protecting my family, so I think you already know my answer.” Said Sandbar “Yak second that!” Said Yona with a proud smile on her face. “Hey, I already made up my mind about this, so you already know I’m in.” Said Smolder cracking her claws “Nothing will stop us, because we will do it together!” Said Silverstream “If the world is in danger, then I will do what I must to save it.” Said Ocellus The Ghost Knight smiled. “I’m glad to hear that, now Rangers please take a knee so I can knight you.” He said pulling out his sword. The Young 6 got down to one knee and bowed their heads ready to be knighted. “Ocellus, smart and gentle as the breeze you will be known as The Knight of the Wind, Yona, strong and powerful as the mountains you will be known as The Knight of the Earth, Silverstream, full of energy and unpredictable as the waves you will be known as The Knight of the Ocean, Sandbar, sturdy and unshakable as the Trees of the world you will be known as The Knight of the Forest, Smolder, hot-tempered with a burning fire inside as the volcano you will be known as The Knight of the Flames, Gallus, young and full of unlimited potential as the great warriors of the past you will be known as The Knight of Leadership.” “From this point on you will be known as The Power Rangers Knights of War, Protectors of the Earth.” End of Episode
