> My Little Ranger: Ninja Steel > by Chacorn > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: A Star From the Past > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a quiet Tuesday morning during the summer break. The road leading away from Summer Cove stretched far and wide and would have been completely silent if it hadn't been for Brody Romero driving his red car out of town. He had always liked nature and he had done some ninja training there not only with his father and his older brother, but also all his new friends from Summer Cove High School. But this time he wasn't off to the forest for training, he had put his backpack with a lot of camping equipment in the back seat. "Wow, this is going to be epic" Brody said but in a happy tone. "It's been ages since I went camping with dad and Aiden" He thought But then he shook his head "No, it's Levi. Forgot again" He thought Even after Brody and the other Rangers had decided to continue calling his brother by his stage name, Brody occasionally calls Levi by his real name a few times. While he was checking the road, he saw a photo he had between the two front seats. It was a picture that he showed himself together with all his friends. Brody began to think about what all his friends were up to these days. He himself had started participating in various martial arts tournaments, Preston had started to increase the popularity of his Magi show with his progress and more people were starting to hear about the incredible "Presto Change-O". Sarah has continued with her inventions and they are becoming more and more impressive so that she has also caught the attention of large companies. Calvin has started working part-time for Joe from Joe's Towing (From Season 2 Episode 16). Hayley has started working more with acting and is starting to get attention. Levi continues his music career and is still as popular as ever but has taken a break to go camp with Brody and their father. Mick had decided to go home to The Leon Galaxen to spend a little more time with his parents and Redbot still keeps the bass going because even with the threat of Madame Odius, there could always be a new threat. Brody then thinks back to when it had returned The Power Stars to Prisman for the next that needs its powers. "wonder if the powers will ever come back" he thought as he drove. His thoughts were quickly interrupted when something large passed him causing Brody to brake quickly and stop the car in a hurry. When he regained his balance, he saw that the big thing that passed her had landed in front of him, And he immediately understood what it was. Brody got out of the car and walked over to the object that he recognized as the Ninja Nexus Prism completely clean of the Ninja Steel it was soaked with when it disappeared the last time Brody was surprised and then the surprised expression quickly turned to shock as the prism spun around and around at full speed. "Now what?" Brody asked until Something flew out of the prism at high speed. "Wow" came out of Brody's mouth before he caught the object that came flying. And his face became more surprised when he found himself holding the Red Power Star Brody looked back at the prism food as it slowed down. "Why would the prism return my Power Star?" Brody thought before the prism revealed a vision of the Six Power Stars and Six differently shaped crystals Brody looked at the prism in confusion. "What dose that mean?" Brody said in confusion. But before he could think further, Prisman took off at full speed "Wait" Brody called but the prism was already far away. "What just happened?" He asked himself but before he fully understood everything that had just happened, a yellow Light came from nowhere and in all the light appeared a bunch of human bodied robots with blue armor, A Black Chinese straw hat and long spears. Brody struck a fighting pose while the Kudabots surrounded him Brody didn't want to waste time and started delivering several kicks and punches to the robots that started to attack. Even after a couple of months without monster attacks or Ranger powers, the team continued to practice ninja moves and they were put to good use now. Brody used his Ninja tricks to confuse the Kudabots and managed to take them down. After it got to its feet it tried to attack again but then a yellow light came back and they disappeared. Brody thought for a moment, trying to make sense of everything that had just happened. First he had bumped into Prisman again and then got his Power Star back and then he got a strange vision from Prisman but before he could get any answer as to what it means it flew away. And then he was attacked by Kudabots who he was sure had all been destroyed but then they disappeared in the middle of the battle. Brody thought for a moment and then he said "I should call Redbot" and then he raised his hand and pressed a button on his Ninjacom. "Redbot, are you there?" he asked into his com and over at their base at Summer Cove High School Redbot answered the monitor. "Hey Brody, how's the camping?" Redbot asked out of curiosity but then he saw the look on Brody's face that showed confusion. "What happened?" Redbot asked out of concern. "Just now the Ninja Nexus Prism flew in front of me and gave me back my Power Star, and right after that I was attacked by a bunch of Kudabots" brody told his friend Redbot was surprised by Brody's words "Suffering Circuits, are you okay?" Redbot asked a little scared "Yeah I'm fine" Brody assured his robot friend "But I have a feeling a new threat is on the way. Can you contact the others and have them meet me at the base" Brody asked "Of course I can" Said Redbot happily. Brody thanked Redbot for that. "I can get Levi, He should be with dad now. See you soon Redbot" Brody said and hung up. As he was about to walk towards the car, a bright light came from the sky and Brody was engulfed in it. As the Light faded, Brody noticed that he was no longer on the road. He was in a meadow but didn't know where, and when he turned around he saw that the car wasn't there. Brody became worried but managed to calm down. He looked around to find out where to go and then he saw a small village not too far away but he also noticed that there was a large crystal castle in the village and it caught his attention. "Maybe someone there can help me?" Brody thought and started walking towards the crystal castle. > Chapter 2: Attack on Ponyville > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Wow, that was really incredible" Twilight Sparkle said with joy in her voice. Twilight was in the middle of a very peaceful and relaxing stroll through Ponyville. To her left, she saw her skilled student and close friend Starlight Glimmer who had told her a little more about her adventures of saving Twilight, the Princesses and her friends from Queen Chrysalis with the help of some new friends. Starlight scratched the back of her head and became a little timid"I appreciate that you think so Twilight, but I could never have made it alone." she said in a small voice. "Ugh, don't be ridiculous now" said a voice on the other side of Starlight. Both she and Twilight saw that the voice came from none other than Starlight's close friend Trixie Lunamoon who came walking towards them. "Oh, Hi Trixie" Starlight said in a happy tone Trixie walked up to them both mares and looked at Starlight and said confidently "You were amazing over there Starlight, you shouldn't doubt yourself like that" and that made Starlight smile a little. Twilight went and stood facing Starlight. "Trixie is right Starlight, you were an incredible leader and you managed to save us all" Twilight said placing her hoof on Starlight's shoulder. "Of course you couldn't do it without the Great and Powerful Trixie to help" Trixie said with her head held high. Twilight rolled her eyes and looked at Trixie with a vague smile. Although Trixie has caused many problems for Twilight and her friends, she has shown to be a good friend to Starlight and had helped her student reform all the changelings to their current form. Starlight giggled a bit at Trixie's statement and then she said "you're right, I was lucky you were there with me". Then Starlight gave Trixie a quick hug and Twilight smiled happily. "yuck, all this happy and friendly talk is going to drive me crazy" said a Voice none of the mares recognized. Twilight looked around to find out who said those words. Although it didn't take long before she got the answer in a mysterious yellow light. From the light came a two-legged creature with some strange form of armor on. its face looked like the middle part was worn away and underneath it was blue with yellow eyes and a red line running from the eyes to the back of the head. "Who and what are you?" Twilight asked "The name is Ripcon, and I'm here to spread some glorious destruction in Equestria" Ripcon said proudly Starlight stared intensely at Ripcon as he said that. "Do you really think we will allow that" she said angrily. "Don't worry, pony." Ripcon said while drawing his Katanas. "You will be the first to disappear" he said as he charged up one of his Katanas with a blue energy and slashed the energy straight at them. The three mares were knocked back and landed hard on the ground. "It's pointless to try, Three Little Ponies can't defeat me" While Twilight, Starlight and Trixie stood up. "How about eight ponies ugly" Rainbow Dash said rushing in. She had Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity with her and they rushed over to their friends and helped them up. "Eight pieces. Now it's starting to look like something," Ripcon said boastfully He raised his Katanas up and released an energy wave that created several explosions that knocked down the Main 6, Starlight, Trixie and a few bystanders. Everypony around ran away or indoors to avoid getting hurt and because they were scared. "Ha Ha. This is too easy. Unlike fighting Rat Bait, this is like taking candy from a child" Ripcon said triumphantly. "Alright first we don't know what Rat Bait is and second we're going to get you" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Then may your suffering continue" Ripcon said in unison as he charged up another attack with his katana. But before he could fire it he was met with a beam of magic right on the chest and it made him back away. Starlight took a few steps forward, her horn ready for another blast. "If you want to get to them, you'll have to go through me," she said strongly. "You're going to regret it pony" Ripcon said angrily, only to be met with a smoke bomb in the face. Everyone checked to see Trixie with more smoke bombs in her bag, one already out and ready. "No one harms my friends without answering to the Great and Powerful Trixie" she said forcefully. "Why you" Ripcon said with more anger and irritation than before. Starlight turned to her friends and said "We're going to need the elements, Me and Trixie keep this freak away until you get back". "What, we can't leave you guys" Twilight said scared Trixie looked at Twilight. "We can handle ourselves, hurry up and get the elements before anything happens," she said confidently. "Alright, we hurry as much as we can" Twilight said "Please Be Careful" Fluttershy said with concern for her friends At that moment, Twilight teleported herself and the other five away from the battle. "That was a foolish attempt to play hero, you are doomed" Ripcon said as he rushed towards them. "You are a fool if you think we will allow you to destroy our home" Starlight said with her and Trixie ready to attack. Meanwhile Twilight and the others just arrived at the cave opening where the Trees of Harmony are located. They ran straight into the barra to be met by a troop of two-legged creatures wearing blue armor and spears. “What in the hay are those?” Applejack asked "I have no idea, I've never seen anything like this before" Twilight replied "Who cares what they are. Now let's kick them in the flank" Rainbow Dash said impatiently and rushed straight towards them. Rainbow knocked one of them down but when she was about to take another she had to dodge the spears that were thrown straight at her, while that was happening Twilight shot magic at them knocking down a few. The creatures circled and aimed their spears at the group, firing blasts from the spear tips. The Main 6 gathered while Twilight created a shield that blocked the blast. Then she teleported them all past the creatures and took the elements, aimed them at the creatures and unleashed a wave of magic that took them all out. "Ha. that's how we do it" Rainbow said boastfully "We don't have time for bragging now dear. we have to help Starlight and Trixie" Rarity said "Rarity is right. we have to go now" Twilight said and teleported them all back to Ponyville. When it came, Starligt and Trixie flew to the ground with real damage everywhere. "STARLIGHT" Twilight shouted, rushing to her student. "Are you okay?" She asked quickly while Starlight could only grunt in response. Twilight Glared at Ripcon who just stood there as the others gathered around her "You're not getting away with this" Twilight said in frustration. "Yeah, you're going down" Rainbow yelled But Ripcon just laughed in response. "It was their own fault they didn't realize they were outmatched," he said. Twilight continues to stare. "Time to end this, ready Girls?" Twilight asked. "Ready" everyone said out loud except Fluttershy "Oh, um, Ready" Fluttershy said "Oh, how pathetic" Ripcon said after hearing Fluttershy's response "That's it" Said Pinkie Pie. "LIGHT HIM UP LADIES" She screamed At that moment, the Main 6 charged their elements and fired them at Ripcon in a sharp Rainbow Light. When the light faded, Ripcon was gone. "Oh Yeah" Rainbow cheered happily "yup, but he really did a number on Ponyville" Applejack said "Alright girls. first we help Starlight and Trixie to the hospital." Twilight said While the others agreed, another yellow light came on and Ripcon was back. "Was that really your best?, Laughable." Ripcon said as the Main 6 stared at the shock. "T-It's impossible, no creature can handle the power of the elements" Twilight said "Unfortunately for you, I'm nothing you've ever met before," Ripcon said, charging his katanas with more energy. "But now we say goodbye" he said as he raised his katanas and blue lightning went between them. Starlight, barely conscious, saw what Ripcon was doing and panicked because she knew what was coming next. "LOOK OUT" She yelled with everything she had left. "Double Sword Doom Strike" Ripcon yelled out slashing with both first horizontally and one with both straight down. The attack came so fast and Twilight tried to create a shield and she he only got it up for a second before it was destroyed. The Main 6 were sent back to their injured friends. With the protection they had, their damage was slightly reduced but it was still enough to bring them to their knees. "I can't believe that this is all the guardians of Equestria can give" Ripcon said in disappointment. "H-how can he be s-so strong?" Twilight asked in confusion and fear. "Don't worry little pony" Ripcon said with an evil grin. "It's time to finish the job". he said ready for another attack. All the ponies stared at him wondering what to do now. it seemed that only a miracle could save them now. "Ninja Star Morph, FINAL ATTACK" Said a new voice "What" Ripcon said before a large Red spinning saw flew at him and attacked him a couple of times before Ripcon fell backwards. The red object was now between Ripcon and the main 6, Starlight and Trixie. And in just an instant a whole new being emerged, the red object disappeared. another two-legged creature but he had all white shoes and a red robe with a black line going down from the chest that covered his entire body except his head which was covered by a red helmet that covered his entire head. and where the eyes were supposed to be, there was a black glass scream that covered the eyes completely. "Your game is over Ripcon" the red creature said in a clear strong voice. Standing up, Ripcon glared at the red creature with hatred. "How dare you interfere. I will not allow this Rat Bait" Ripcon said. "Me interfering will be the least of your problems right now" The red one said before drawing his sword. "Power of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Red!". > Chapter 3: a Morphenomenal guest in town > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A bit earlier Brody has just arrived at the quiet little village and quickly noticed that it was unusually quiet. No one was out in the colorful village although there still seemed to be someone here based on a lighted lantern. "Where can everyone be?" Brody asked himself and began to think. "Perhaps someone is in the castle" He said and continued walking into the village. "BOOM" it sounded and Brody saw a large explosion, while rumbling footsteps came rushing towards him. No, not footsteps. It sounded like a lot of running horses. But then Brody saw what was coming at him and was instantly shocked. heading towards him several multicolored ponies came running in panic. Some passed him without noticing him, but others saw him and were frightened again. One of them saw him and couldn't help himself to scream. "AHH, A New Monster". after he yelled that, everyone got scared of Brody and ran away from him. "Wait, I'm not a monster" Brody said in a futile attempt to calm all the ponies down. "Wait, New Monster?" Brody asked himself when he understood exactly what the pony was yelling. Then got to see what it was that all the ponies were running away from. It turned out to be a squad of Basherbots and it attacked the village and all the ponies. Brody saw all the destruction and decided to put a stop to it. He ran towards all the Basherbots and all the ponies that had fled started to turn their heads or hide to see what was going on. "Hey" Brody yelled out to get the Basherbot's attention. "I will give you one chance to surrender." Brody said forcefully. All the Basherbots turned towards him with their swords ready to attack. "Suit yourself" Brody said and took out his Power Star and his Morpher. "It's Morphin' Time! Power Star" he said as he held out his Star. "Lock In!" he said, placing the Star in the Morpher. "Ready!" he said before reaching up to spin the star. "Ninja Spin!" and then he spun his Star and the Morph sequence began. After the star came out of the Morpher, it spun around Brody and shaped his suit. The last step was when the star shaped his helmet and the visor slid up. "Ninja Rangers, Fear No Danger" Brody said, fully dressed in his Ranger Suit. "Time for some scrapping" Brody said and started running towards all the Basherbots as they rushed towards Brody. Brody rushed forward and immediately started slashing and kicking all the Basherbots while all the ponies either ran or watched. A few Basherbots started aiming their blasters at Brody but he blocked them and took out his Morpher which had changed to battle mode and twisted it until two blades came out on each side. "Ninja Battle Morpher, Bow Mode" he yelled out and placed his star in the center. "Hyper Arrow Blast" He shouted and fired an energy arrow that then separated into several arrows and knocked down several Basherbots. "Time for some elemental power" Brody said and took out his Element Star. "Element Star, Lock in" Brody said and placed the star in his sword and then he turned the star until the red tip was pointing upwards. "Element Star, Fire Attack. NINJA SPIN" Brody said as he spun the star and slashed at all the Basherbots. "Final Strike" he yelled and the fire was sent straight at all the Basherbots. When it hit them, they exploded. All the ponies watching were so surprised and had so many questions about what they had just seen. Who and what was the red warrior, why had he saved them, what were the things attacking Ponyville? After all the Basherbots have been defeated, Brody heard a familiar voice. "Double Sword Doom Strike" Said the voice followed by an explosion. "That Voice, It's not possible" Brody said and looked to where the voice was coming from. When Brody arrived, he saw Ripcon and several ponies not far from the monster. "How can Ripcon be here?" Brody asked himself Just then, Ripcon began charging up another attack. "I have to hurry" Brody said, preparing his own attack and rushing forward. "Ninja Star Morph, FINAL ATTACK" Brody said, turning into a bigger version of his Power Star and spinning at full speed hitting Ripcon several times, managing to force him back. Brody landed between Ripcon and the ponies that had been injured. "Your game is over Ripcon" Back to the present Twilight and the others were completely confused by what stood before them. They have never seen anything like it and were confused by what he said. “What in the hay am I looking at?” Applejack asked in confusion "Don't know, but like the outfit" Said Rainbow "most fascinating" Rarity said admiring the outfit "But what is he?" Fluttershy asked a little scared "I have no idea. But he seems to be on our side" Twilight replied Back to Brody and Ripcon who were staring intently at each other. "What are you doing here Ripcon?, how are you even alive? Me and the others have already defeated you" Brody Said "Ha, As if I'd ever tell you anything Rat Bait, But now that you're here I can finally destroy you along with the rest of this world" Ripcon Said "That will never happen, Horn Face" Brody said and they both rushed at each other and raised their swords. "Girls, now that the monster is distracted let's help Starlight and Trixie out of here" Twilight said Everyone agreed with Twilight helping her injured friends to safety while Brody and Ripcon were busy fighting. After both had been taken to Ponyville Hospital, The Main 6 rushed back to the Battle to help the Red Warrior. When they arrived, the monster had been forced back. "Give it up Ripcon. You'll never win" Brody said, But Ripcon pushed the comment away and stood up. "That's what you think Rat Bait" Ripcon said, placing his katanas on top of each other. "If that's how you want it" Brody said, taking out the Element Star. "Element Star, Lock in" he said, placing the Star in the sword and turning it until the brown tip was pointing upwards. "Double Sword Doom Strike" Ripcon yelled out and did his signature move. "NINJA SPIN, Ninja Earth Attack" Brody said, driving the sword into the ground seconds before the attack hit, creating an explosion. when it clanged up, there was no sign of Brody anywhere. Ripcon laughed in triumph. "This was too easy. I thought you'd have more surprises Rat Bait" he said with a smirk. But then the ground opened up behind him and Brody jumped out with his sword held high. "surprise" Brody said, slashing Ripcon in the back and jumping back to get distance. The Main 6 were so surprised that they just stood there confused. "How did he do that" Rainbow asked. "I saw what happened, but only a little" Twilight said and everyone looked at her. "Somehow the Red one got the ground to rise in front of him and create a tunnel so fast you didn't notice it was a rock that was hit." Twilight explained while the others were confused by the whole thing. Ripcon glared at his enemy and stood up. "Now that's enough games. Time to end this" he said but then Ripcon got a call on his communicator. "Ripcon, come back here now" Said the voice on the other side. "Not now. I'm just going to finish the Red Ranger" Ripcon protested. "IT'S AN ORDER, GET BACK HERE NOW" Said the voice angrily "GRRR, FINE" Ripcon said angrily and turned to Brody. "You are lucky today Rat Bait, but next time you will be destroyed" he said and teleported away. Brody just stood there and let out a sigh of relief. "I wasn't prepared for that," he said. The Main 6 approached Bordy to ask about what happened "Are you okay?" Twilight asked Brody was a bit confused by a bunch of talking ponies in front of him but he tried to keep his cool. "Um, yeah. I'm fine. How about all of you?" He asked back. "Oh, we're fine darling, thanks to you" Rarity replied "It's fine, that's what I do" Brody replied. But then Rainbow Dash flew forward. "Okay, listen up. You're going to tell us who you are and what you are, now!" She demanded. "Simmer down, Dash. he just saved our flank" Applejack said, trying to calm her friend down. "Actually, I would also like to know who you are." Twilight said, turning to Brody. "You can trust us, we just want to help you" she told Brody. Brody glanced at Twilight and her friends. He knows he can trust them, he could see the honesty in their eyes. "Okay, Power Down'' Brody said, turning back into his normal self. "Hi, My name is Brody Romero'' Brody told me. But The Main 6 were all surprised. Pinkie's mouth was hanging, Fluttershy and Rarity were shocked, Rainbow and Applejack were stunned and Twilight was mostly puzzled. "You're a human?" Twilight asked in confusion. "Yes, I'm human" Brody replied in a bit of confusion. "Now wait, Human?" Applejack asked glaring at Twilight. "Do you mean that you became on the other side of the crystal mirror?" She asked. "Yes but how did you get here?" Twilight asked Brody. "I'm not entirely sure myself," Brody answered honestly "Maybe we should take the questions where it's safer," Fluttershy suggested. "Good idea, we'll go to my home" Twilight said and the other agreed and turned towards the castle and started walking. Brody followed them, deciding that questions about why one of them lives in a castle can wait until later. Meanwhile in evil lair Ripcon had just arrived and was walking towards his boss. He was still angry but bowed anyway. His boss checked Ripcon and got up. "So, the Red Ranger has come to Equestria" he said with irritation. "What am I going to do about it Boss" Ripcon asked. "If he's here, the others aren't too far away, We have to Defeat him before the other pests get here and destroy our plans" Said Ripcon's boss with a firm tone. "Red Ranger, You will be eliminated. I will see to that personally" he said with pure anger. > Chapter 4: New friendship between worlds > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponyville was badly in need of repairs after Ripcon's little visit. Most had already started to build up the town, but in the meantime a lot of rumors about everything jumped out. What kind of monsters attacked, but what they wanted and most of all, who was the red creature? "I heard he can shoot fire out of his mouth" said a pony. "No, I saw him use a bow and a fire sword," said another. "I saw when he put on the red suit, it looked so cool" said a foal. "Yeah, it was incredible. I've never seen magic like that" said his friend While the town was being fixed, Brody had come to Twilight's castle on the outskirts of town. When they had opened the door, there came a little dragon with green spikes on its back. It was Twilight's most faithful assistant and friend Spike. "Twilight, is everything fine? I saw the explosions in town from here and." Spike stopped when he saw Brody. "Umm Twilight, who is that?" Asked Spike. Brody looked at Spike and was surprised. "Wow, A dragon. Epic" Brody said in a cheery tone Twilight looked at Brody and understood what Spike was referring to. "Spike, this is Brody and he's the one who saved us." Twilight explained turning to Brody. "Brody, This is my assistant Spike" Twilight said. Brody walked over to the dragon and held out his hand. "Nice to meet you Spike." Spike looked at Brody's hand, then at his eyes, then back at his hand. "Nice to meet you too Brody". Spike said taking Brody's hand and shaking it. When Brody let go, he looked around the castle. "Wow, this castle is incredible. I've never seen anything like it before" Brody said looking at Twilight. "Thanks. Sometimes I find new rooms I haven't seen before." Twilight said giggling a little. "Let's go to the library and we can answer your questions Brody." Twilight said, starting to head towards the library. After a quick walk, they arrived at the library. It was really big with bookshelves that rose all the way to the high ceiling. Everyone took a seat and waited for someone to ask something. "Brody, you can start if you want" Twilight said to get the discussion going. "Alright, I can start" Brody said a little sheepishly. "Okay, we can start with, where are we?" Brody asked. "Well, You are in a land called Equestria, it is a land of magic, ponies and many creatures that seem impossible to you, but they are real" Twilight explained. "Now it's my turn to ask. Who are you and where do you come from?" Rainbow asked. "Rainbow, take it easy" Applejack told Rainbow "It's okay" Brody said. "As I said before, my name is Brody Romero and I come from a city called Summer Cove on Earth" Brody explained. Everyone but Twilight and Spike looked at Brody in confusion "By the way, I don't think I got your names," Brody said, "Oops, I almost forgot" Twilight said. "My name is Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends." she said "Howdy, my name is Applejack" she said raising her hat "Hello Darling, the name is Rarity" she said politely "Names Rainbow Dash, Best flyer around" she said a little cockily "um, hi. my name is Fluttershy" she said shyly "And I'm Pinkie Pie! It's so, so, so good to meet you" she said very excitedly. Brody nodded but then he came up with one more thing he's been wondering about "By the way, who were those two you were with before? The ones you helped away from Ripcon." Brody asked as he remembered there were two more ponies. "Oh, it was our friends Starlight and Trixie. They were injured while the monster was distracted so we could get the Element of Harmony" Twilight explained. Brody thought for a moment but still didn't know what Twilight meant. "Element of Harmony? what is that?" He asked, confused. Pinkie jumped forward before Twilight answered. "Oh, it's these crystals that represent us." she said quickly before jumping into the air. "Laughter" she said and confetti came out behind her. "Kindness" she said, pointing at Fluttershy. "Honesty" jumps forward towards Applejack. "Generosity" She stood next to Rarity. "Loyalty" Turned on Rainbow Dash. "Magic" and jumped up behind Twilight. Brody looked at the crystals Pinkie had meant. Twilight had hers in a crown shape while the other had theirs in gold necklaces. But just then, Brody remembers that it was the same crystals that he had seen in the prism. "Wait, I've seen them before ." Said Brody and it made everyone turn their heads and with surprising expression. "y-you've seen them before?" Twilight asked "Yes, I saw them in a vision in the prism" Brody said. Though the other looked at him confused. "Um, excuse me sugar cube. but what are you talking about?" Applejack asked. "Okay, this is going to get a little confusing." Brody said, scratching the back of his head. "Well, you see I'm not like every other humans on Earth. I'm actually a warrior called the Power Rangers on Earth, so I'm basically a superhero." Brody explained as everyone else looked at him in more confusion than before. They remained silent until Twilight broke the silence. "Well, we've made contact with Earth, and me and Spike have been there ourselves, but we haven't heard anything of Power Rangers" she explained and Spike nodded. "Well, me and my team have been out of action for a couple of months. You see, a couple of months ago, me and my friends defeated an evil sorceress named Odius. She tried to hypnotize all humans into her personal army. But me and my friends used the power of our Power Stars to defeat her. And after we defeated her, we returned our powers to The Nexus Prism before it flew away," Brody explained "Oh please excuse my intrusion, but what is this Power Star and Prism you keep mentioning?" Rarity asked. "You see, The Ninja Nexus Prism is a powerful object with mythical powers. Ten years ago, it crashed on Earth and in it was the Ninja Nexus Star. When monsters tried to take it, my father tried to stop them and during the battle, he slashed the Nexus Star to prevent the monsters from getting hold of it and it then turned into six Power Stars, like this one." Brody said, showing his Star. "Wow, that sounds amazing" Twilight said with great interest. "Yeah, That sounds awesome" Rainbow Said "Your father must be a good fighter if he can fight monsters" Appeljack said "back home he is a skilled Ninja and he taught me and my brother Levi everything we know." Brody said thinking of his family. Everyone smiled but then brody remembers what happened earlier before he disappeared here. "Anyway, it's been a couple of months since we defeated Odius and I had planned to go on a camping trip with my dad and older brother. But as I was on my way, The Nexus Prism came in front of me and gave me my powers back and my Star. And afterwards the prism showed me a vision and it showed the six Power Stars and these Elements of Harmony." Brody explained as The Main Six looked at him in disbelief. "Why do you think that happened?" Spike asked with his claw in the air. "I don't know, but when the prism flew away I was attacked by a bunch of Kudabots. I managed to knock them back but then they disappeared as quickly as they disappeared. And before I knew it I was sent here to Equestria. I saw this town nearby so I thought maybe there was someone here who could help me so I went this way." Brody said. "Wow, That was a crazy story" Said Pinkie. After a second, Fluttershy raised her hooves "Um, I have a question. If it's not too much" Fluttershy said with her hood down. "Not at all, Ask" Brody said with a smile. "Oh, okay. Who was the scary guy that attacked us?" She asked "That was Ripcon, a monster me and my team fought a couple of times, But I thought he was gone." Brody explained, scratching his chin. "How can he be here?" He asked himself. "I don't know how it happened, but I think you're meant to be here." Twilight said to her friend's confusion. "You said the prism showed a vision with the elements of Harmony and those Power Stars. Right?" She asked Brody. and Brody nodded in response. "Maybe you were sent here because Ripcon had come here." She said and that got Brody thinking. She was right, it seemed like the only logical reason. But it was more than that. "You're right Twilight, but it's not just me." he said, making everyone look at him. "Prisman showed all the power stars and the Elements of Harmony. That means whatever evil comes, we will fight it together." He said and stood up. "You're right, We're going to do this together" Twilight said "Yeah, I'm so on" Rainbow said "It's going to be so much fun," Pinkie Pie said happily "Well, I'm in. No monster will destroy my home" Applejack said "I'm ready to help darling" Rarity said "Oh, if you're in then I'm in too I guess" Fluttershy said shyly "I want to help too if I can" Spike said Brody smiled and looked at his new friends. "This is going to be Epic" he told himself. Meanwhile on Earth By this time, all the other rangers except Levi had returned to base. Redbot had told them that Brody had been attacked by the Kudabots and would be coming with Levi soon. "I thought all the Kudabots were gone. what could this mean?" Sarah asked. "Don't know. but we have to find out." Hayley said. but before anyone could say anything more the sensors went off. "What is it?" Calvin asked, turning to Redbot. "Something or someone has landed outside." Said Redbot at the computer. "We need to check it out" Sarah said and everyone rushed out to see what it was. When they came out, they saw The Nexus Prism. "The Nexus Prism? What is it doing here" Preston asked. But before he could get an answer the prism began to spin and then the Blue, Yellow, White and Pink Power Stars flew out and came to their respective rangers. Before it flew away again, it shows the same vision that Brody saw. "Our Power Stars?, why would Prism return them" Calvin asked. But before anyone could say anything more, a light came from the sky and swallowed everyone except Redbot. When the light faded, the rangers were gone. "Oh Suffering Circuits, This Is Not Good" Said Redbot in worry > Chapter 5: An Attack on Canterlot (Part 1) Five is stronger than one > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heading towards the Ponyville hospital, Brody continued to get odd looks from unicorn, earth pony, and pegasus alike. They still weren't entirely sure if Brody was on their side. Twilight caught it and turned her head towards him. "Don't worry, they're just not used to having a human in town. They'll get used to you soon." she said. "Appreciate it Twilight" Brody said. He was still trying to understand that it was only him and no other human in this world. After a while they arrived at Ponyville Hospital, just in time for the two unicorns to come out of the hospital. "Hey, We just got checked out and we can go home now" Starlight said and smiled at her friends. But when Trixie saw Brody, she got a little worried "Who is that?" She asked, referring to Brody. Twilight looked at Brody and understood what Trixie meant. "Don't worry Trixie. This is Brody, he was the one who fought Ripcon so we could get you both to safety." Twilight said. Brody took a step forward and said "It's nice to meet you, I'm Brody." and then he held out his hand. Starlight looked at him and took his hand with her hoof. "It's nice to meet you too, My name is Starlight Glimmer" She said with a Hand/Hoof shake. Trixie saw how Starlight seemed to trust him so she walked over to Brody to introduce herself. "I'm Trixie, nice to meet you Brody" she said, pulling a coin from Brody's ear with her magic. "Wow, how did you do that?" Brody asked in wonder. Trixie looked at Brody with a satisfied expression. "Just a little trick from the Great and Powerful Trixie is all" the female said with a small smile. Brody was a little confused by that and looked to the other for an answer. "Trixie has a magic show and that's her stage name" Starlight explained. "That sounds like my friend Preston, he also does his own magic show" Brody said and that got Trixie's attention. But before anyone could ask, Spike belched fire and a letter came out. Brody looked at Spike in more confusion. "what was that?" he asked. Twilight took the letter with her magic. "It's a letter from Princess Celestia" She said and opened the Letter. but when she saw what it said, she got scared. "We have to hurry, Canterlot is under attack" She said and everyone looked at her. Everyone started running towards the train but when Twilight saw that Starlight and Trixie were following, she stopped and turned towards them. "You two need to stay here" she said. But Starlight looked at Twilight. "Huh, we're coming with you" She said but Twilight shook her head. "You guys just got out of the hospital, you can't start fighting now." She said in protest. Starlight tried to say something in response but she couldn't. Twilight was right. She and Trixie had just recovered and weren't ready to battle yet. "Alright, we stay. but be careful" Starlight said and Twilight smiled. "You got it, Keep an eye on Ponyville while we're gone" Twilight said with a hug. "Don't worry, we'll got this. now hurry up" Trixie told Twilight. "Come on now, time for action" Rainbow Dash said and then everyone except Starlight and Trixie ran towards the train towards Canterlot. Later in Canterlot Once it had arrived in Canterlot, it quickly saw a squad of Kudabots and Basherbots in battle with the Royal Guards. Although the guards had the upper hand in the air, they were quickly knocked down. "Not those Ruffians again. What are they anyway" Rarity asked as she saw all the bots. "Those are Kudabots and Basherbots. Robots that Ripcon gives orders to. He's probably behind this attack" Brody said as All the bots turned to him and the Main 6. "You're right, Rat Bait," said Ripcon, walking forward between all the bots. "That's strange, I don't remember inviting you to our party" He said and pulled out his swords. "Unfortunately for you, we came to crash this party" Rainbow Dash said. After that everyone got ready to fight but Ripcon just smiled. "Then I should probably introduce the special guest, Meet BashHorn" Ripcon said and then a monster teleported beside him. It had stone horns, a wooly cloak and a large stone hammer (I know it's technically Behemoth from Mystic Force, But Power Rangers reuses Monsters all the time so I can too.) "Time to bash a Ranger" BashHorn said, raising his hammer and ready to fight. "We need to find the Princess. she might be hurt" Twilight said worried for her mentor. "Even if I wanted to pulverize you, I'm needed somewhere else." Ripcon said teleporting away. And then BashHorn stepped forward and said "It's Bashing Time". But then Brody walked over and took out his Power Star and Morpher. "Wrong, It's Morphin' Time! Power Star, Lock In!" He said, locking his Star into the Morpher, "Ready! Ninja Spin!" and then he Morphed into his Ranger form. "Ninja Rangers, Fear No Danger" He said ready to fight. All the Ponies looked at him in astonishment. Rainbow was the first to say something. "That, Was, Awesome" She said looking at Brody. But Twilight said "Rainbow, focus" and that made Rainbow wake up. "Sorry. now let's do this" She said and got into battle mode. Both sides rushed towards each other and started fighting. Brody and Twilight took on BashHorn while the other took on all the Kudabots and Basherbots. Rainbow managed to be beaten using her speed and fight moves. Applejack managed to be hit by kicking with her back hooves precisely like when she was bucking apples. Pinkie made more use of her confetti cannon and surprise attack. Rarity mostly tried to use her magic to fight. but Fluttershy kept dodging and hiding. Brody and Twilight managed to knock BashHorn back but he managed to get up. "That's enough games, Time to get serious" He said and raised his hammer high. "Hammer Shock Wave" He roared and slammed the hammer into the ground and it created a shock wave that knocked Brody and Twilight back to the ground. When the other five had managed to defeat all the bots, they rushed to their friends. "Twi, Brody. Are you okay" Rainbow asked. "We're okay, but that was a powerful hit" Twilight said getting up. BashHorn Stood a bit away from them and laughed. "How lucky I am, All Harmony Elements and a ranger with one strike of my hammer. This is going to be good." He said ready to end it. "You're going to need more than that to take us down" Brody said, taking out his Element Star saying "Element Star, Lock" and placing it in his sword, turning it so the yellow tip was pointing upwards. "Element Star: Ninja Metal Attack" He said spinning the star and sending out a chain and tied BashHorn. The Main 6 were impressed with Brody's little trick. "Do you really think this is going to stop me" BashHorn said, breaking the chain and breaking free. Brody was shocked by that. "It's time to Bash you all." BashHorn said, raising his hammer for another attack. "w-what should we do?" Fluttershy asked shakily. No one knew what to do. But before BashHorn attacked, several voices were heard saying the same thing. "NINJA BLAST" said four voices in unison. And then BashHorn was hit by four shots and flew into a nearby wall. Brody and the girls looked where the shots were coming from and they saw four more humans, each one holding a Ninja Blast. When Brody saw who it was, he was very happy. "Preston, Calvin, Hayley, Sarah. Guess if I'm happy to see you." He said and stood up. "It's nice to see you around but what's going on here?" Sarah asked, utterly confused by the whole thing and Brody ran towards his friends. "I'll explain later" he said, turning to BashHorn who was making his way up. "But first we have to deal with this guy." Brody said and the other said "Yeah" in response "Urgh, enough of this." BashHorn said, turning to all the Rangers. "Wait, Five rangers? Did I hit the hood too hard?" He said when he saw five rangers together. "Ready guys" Preston said and the second was in line behind Brody. "Ready" said the other three and then they all took out their Morphers and Stars. "It's Morphin' Time! Power Star" Preston said, holding out his Star. "Lock In!" All four said, locking their stars into their Morphers. "Ready! Ninja Spin!" They all said that and spun their stars and then they morphed. Preston was the first to go through his morphing and become the Blue Ranger. Calvin was next in line and morphed into the Yellow Ranger. Next was Hayley and she went through her morphing into the White Ranger. Finally it was Sarah and she morphed into the Pink Ranger. With that, everyone was morphed and did their roll call. "Power of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Red!" Brody shouted and then it was off to Preston. "Stealth of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Blue!" He shouted and then it was Calvin's turn. "Strength of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Yellow!" He shouted and then it was on to Hayley. "Spirit of the Ninja! Ninja Steel White!" She shouted and finally it was Sarah's turn. "Speed of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Pink!" She shouted and at the mention of speed Rainbow Dash lit up with anticipation. "Power Rangers" they all shouted and spun around and shouted again. "NINJA STEEL". (Just so you know, I won't use "Super Ninja Steel" when they transform. They still have all the powers of Super Ninja Steel, it's just easier to run regular Ninja Steel with the morphing. Okay Back to the story) The Main 6 Looked in wonder at the five Rangers who now stood there ready to take on a monster. Brody turned his head and looked at them. "You guys go find the princess, we'll deal with the hammer jerk" Brody said, with that he stood up and ran off to find Princess Celestia. While the other rangers looked at their leader in more confusion. "Um, did you just talk to ponies?" Calvin asked. And Brody just looked at him through the helmet and said "Like I said, will explain later". With that, the rangers and BashHorn began to fight in the street. While that was going on, the main 6 ran towards the castle to find Princess Celestia. but when it came to the gate of the castle they saw the princess and the royal guards in battle with a squad of Basherbots. When Twilight saw one of them sneak up behind Celestia, she ran forward and knocked it down with a blast of magic. Celestia turned to her faithful student and said "Twilight how lucky you were when you did". Twilight and Celestia continued to shoot magic at them and the other five joined in, knocking them all down. When everyone was down, Princess Celestia let out a sigh. "I've never seen creatures like this before. Where did they come from" She asked and Twilight answered loudly "They were Basherbots. Robots from Earth." And Celestia was more confused and asked her "How do you know that?". But before Twilight could answer, Pinkie said "Oh, Oh. Brody told us". But that didn't make Princess Celestia any wiser. "Don't want to interrupt but Brody and the new rangers probably need our help" Said Rainbow Dash and started flying to the Rangers. The other followed her with haste and Princess Celestia followed behind them. By the time it arrived, the Rangers were ready to finish off BashHorn. But when Celestia saw them she had to ask "Who are they?". Twilight looked at her mentor and explained "They are heroes from Earth and they are called Power Rangers." To that Celestia became intrigued but her attention was quickly absorbed by the battle. The other four rangers had surrounded BashHorn and had placed their Element Star in their swords with the metal tip up. "Element Star, Ninja Metal Attack" Yelled and caught BashHorn in four chains. "Brody, finish him" Preston called and Brody nodded. "Time to end this" he said and placed his Red Power Star in the sword and pressed the blue button on and charged up one last attack. "Red Ninja Strike, Steel Slash, NINJA SPIN" he said and spun the star. with that he ran towards BashHorn and stabbed her five times before jumping into the air. "FINAL ATTACK" he said and swooped down and slashed BashHorn one last time. "THAT WAS A CRASH, NOT A BASH" was all that BashHorn said before Brody jumped away right before the BashHorn exploded. When Brody turned around, BashHorn was gone. and then Rainbow Dash flew in. "THAT WAS AWESOME. The way you swung your swords and made him go BOOM." She shouted loudly. "That was really impressive" Twilight said to Preston who was very confused. Then Sarah walked up to Brody and said "It's probably time for the explanation Brody". But then Princess Celestia stepped forward and said "I would also like an explanation". With that, everyone turned to the princess and were more surprised. But before anyone could answer Ripcon appeared a few meters from where the BashHorn was destroyed. "Don't celebrate yet rangers" he said making everyone look at him. "Ripcon?" Preston asked in confusion. "We had already destroyed you, how can you be here?" Sarah asked. But Ripcon smiled and took out some kind of laser. "You have much bigger problems than me right now." he said, aiming the laser at where the BashHorn had been destroyed and pressing a blue button. "Time to Giantify!" he said and fired the laser at the place where BashHorn was standing and then he came back, but BashHorn started to grow until he was the size of Celestia's castle. "More and more Bashing" Said BashHorn fully grown. Ripcon looked at the Gigantifier and said "Who knew, that Broodwing sold me something good actually." And then he turned to the rangers, Main 6 and Celestia. "Have fun getting stomped on" he said and teleported away. Twilight turned to the giant monster and said "how did you fight something that big". > Chapter 6: An Attack on Canterlot (Part 2) Time to go big > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BashHorn has just gone through an intense growth spurt, and has an even bigger hammer than before. "What should I bash first, I know. I'll take the castle" BashHorn said, walking towards Celestia's castle. With each step, the ground shook and all the onlookers ran screaming from the giant monster. Meanwhile the rangers, Main 6 and Princess Celestia watched with worried eyes. "He's heading towards the castle, we have to stop him." Rainbow said, trying to fly towards BashHorn but Celestia caught Rainbow with her magic saying "That's not very wise Rainbow Dash". Twilight looked at Rainbow and nodded. "The princess is right Rainbow, in comparison we are like little Breezies." She said to Rainbow's irritation. "But we can't just sit here and do nothing." she said looking at Twilight. Sarah, who had been listening, took a step forward and said "I have to agree with rainbow hair here. We have to do something." but Rainbow Dash was a bit taken aback by being called "rainbow hair". "Yes but what can we do?" Preston asked. but at that moment the Ninja Nexus Prism came from the sky and landed in front of them. All the ponies were surprised by the large crystal object but the Rangers recognized it well. "the Nexus Prism? what is it doing here?" Calvin asked, staring at the prism. But before anyone could answer, the prism began spinning faster and faster until five spinning objects came flying towards the five rangers. when it caught it, Brody and his friends saw that it was their Zord Stars. After everyone had received their stars, the prism flew away. "Our Zord Stars. we couldn't have gotten them at a better time" Hayley said happily. As the other rangers agreed, Applejack took a step forward. "Um, excuse me y'all, but what are these Zord Stars anyway?" She asked and Brody replied "Something epic. stand back, we'll handle it. come on team" and turned to the other rangers. "It's Zord time" he said and ran forward with his team following behind. "Zord Stars, Lock In!" All the rangers said placing their stars in their swords. "Activate" everyone said and pressed the yellow button. "Ninja Spin!" everyone said, spinning their stars. At that moment a light appeared, very similar to the one that brought the rangers to Equestria's appearance in the distance. When it faded, there were five colossal metal machines representing a red robot, blue dragon, yellow dump truck, white dog and a pink train. Brody and the other rangers celebrated a bit that their Zords had arrived and were ready for battle. "Okay guys, now we'll take him" Brody said and the Zords rushed towards them. "Ninja Steel Zords, Out of the Shadows" Brody said and piled onto his Zord's shoulder. "Ready, Robo Red Zord" he said and his Zord turned its head towards him. While that was happening the others jumped onto their Zords. "Time for some magic, Dragon Zord" Preston said on the back of his Zord. "Time to go all out, Nitro Zord" Calvin said atop his Zord. "Alright Kodiak Zord, time to play rough" Hayley said on the back of her dog like Zord. "Time to move fast, Go Zoom Zord" Sarah said on her Zord. All the ponies looked at the Rangers Zords and were impressed. "Um Twi, what are those things?" Rainbow asked. "I don't know" she replied BashHorn was only a few steps away from the castle and was ready to swing his hammer saying "Time to do some demolishing". "Hey, Hammer jerk" Brody said charging at his Zord. "What" BashHorn said, turning around and getting kicked in the stomach. "Ouch. That hurt" he said, raising his hammer to strike Brody. "Dragon Zord, Fire Breath" Preston said, swooping in on his Zord, Spewing fire at BashHorn. "Aj, AJ, Too Hot, Too Hot" BashHorn said, shaking off the fire. "Show him what you can do Kodiak boy" Hayley said and her Zord ran in and threw daggers straight at BashHorn causing him to back away. "you, you mangy mutt. come over here you" BashHorn said angrily. "You stay. Nitro Zord, Spike Launch" Calvin said as his Zord sent out large spikes at BashHorn. "Zoom Zord, Star Strike" Sarah said, coming into her Zord and sending out three large throwing stars straight at BashHorn. "Ouch, Oh, OUCH. They're sharp," he said, stepping back. "I'm not done yet, Hammer Toss" He said, throwing his hammer causing it to spin at high speed. The hammer managed to hit all the rangers except Brody and it made them fall and the hammer came back to BashHorn and he said "The hammer is the best". Down with all the ponies, the main 6 were worried about their friends. "Oh no, they're down" Fluttershy said in a scared voice. But Pinkie came up to her and hugged her friend. "don't worry Shy, The Rangers have this easy" she said in her usual cheery tone. At that moment Princess Celestia turned to Twilight. "Twilight, this might not be the best time, but I need to know if we can trust these strangers" Celestia said, still uncertain. Twilight looked at her mentor and said "I know it seems odd right now, but Brody and his friends are on our side. Brody saved us all when Ripcon attacked Ponyville." Celestia was intrigued by this event. Then Rainbow Dash flew in and said "Yeah, and they'll probably defeat that giant soon". But it didn't seem like it at the moment. The other Rangers had just stood up but BashHorn was ready to swing again. "Time to end this" he said but then Brody came with his Zord and punched BashHorn in the face and stood in front of the other. "Are you guys okay?" Brody asked. Preston raised his hand and said "We're okay, but we need to do something before we go flat as pancakes". Sarah stood up and said "Brody, I think it's time for the Megazord". "Good idea Sarah" Brody said, placing his Zord Star into his sword. "Ninja Steel Megazord, combine! Ninja Spin!" He said, spinning the star and the Megazord transformation began. It started with the Dragon Zords wings and tail were taken off and then the wings combined to become a shield and the tail became a sword and the body turned into the left arm. then it was the Nitro Zord that disconnected the front part and it turned into the right arm and the rest became the middle part with the dump forward. Then the Kodiak Zord jumped into the back portion of the Zoom Zord and then it folded and became the legs. Then the legs were combined with the middle part and then the arms came on and the right held the sword and the left held the shield. Finally, the Robo Red Zord sat in the middle and then a large version of the red Zord star landed on top of everything. With that the Ninja Steel Megazord was now complete. Everypony that saw it was frozen, mostly out of terror but also excitement. "Ninja Steel Megazord, ready!" Said Brody and landed Inside the cockpit the rangers had the Super Ninja Steel Mode Stars. "Look, our Super Ninja Steel Mode Stars. Exactly what we need" Brody said. "But how did they end up here?" Hayley asked. "We'll think about it later" Brody said, turning forward. "Super Ninja Steel Mode Star, Lock In!" everyone said, placing the stars in their swords. "Ninja Spin!" Everyone said, spinning their stars. With that they went into their Ninja Super Steel Mode. After everyone had put on the armor, Brody was given the Ninja Master Blade. "Ninja Super Steel Mode, Ready!" Brody said and now everyone was ready. Outside, BashHorn was up and ready. "Zord or Megazord. You're going down" He said and swung his hammer but it was quickly blocked with the dragon shield and then the rangers attacked with the sword knocking him back. BashHorn had had enough by now. "That's enough, hammer time" he said and raised his hammer for another attack. "I don't think so" Brody said, jumping forward and at the same time the Robo Red Zord jumped out of formation. "Robo Red Zord, Sky Sprint" Brody said and the Robo Red Zord ran on the wind and hit BashHorn kicking him on the way back knocking his hammer away. "Oh No, My Hammer" BashHorn shouted as the Robo Red Zord jumped back into the Megazord. Brody took his place with the other and said "okay team let's finish this" and the other agreed. "Begin Final Attack, Ninja Spin!" Said Brody and spun the star in the Ninja Master Blade. Then the Ninja Super Steel Blaster came flying and landed in Brody's hand. He pointed it upwards and spun the star it had. "Ninja Super Steel Blaster, Energize!" Brody said with the Super Steel Blaster fully charged. The Megazord and the Robo Red Zord both raised their right arms. Inside the cockpit, all the Rangers except Brody raised their swords as Brody pointed the Blaster forward. "Ninja Steel Megazord, Master Slash, Final Attack" Everyone said as Brody fired the blaster and the other slashed diagonally. Simultaneously, the Megazord also slashed diagonally with energy from all five Rangers. BashHorn was hit by the attack and began to be destroyed. "Now it was me who went Bash" BashHorn said before exploding. All the ponies watching started cheering for the Rangers who had saved them. up with The rangers, they celebrated in their cockpit. "Show over, Ninjas win" Brody said and punched the air. After the rangers had jumped out of the Megazord, it was separated into five different Zords and went to new hiding places in Equestria. As the Ranges landed on the ground, The Main 6 and Princess Celestia approached them. "That was AWESOME. That way your metal giants combined into an even bigger metal giant and used a great sword and destroyed that monster." Rainbow said clearly showing that she was a big fan of what they can do. The other five agreed with Rainbow Dash, but then Princess Celestia stepped forward. "On behalf of all of Equestria, So I would like to personally thank you for your heroism." she said but Brody stood in front of his team and said "It was nothing special your highness, it's just what we do". But then Sarah stepped up to Brody and the princess. "Not to sound pushy but I have like a million questions about what's going on." She said but Celestia just giggled and said "Why don't we go to the throne room so we can get all our questions answered". Everyone thought that sounded good and started walking towards Celestia's castle. Meanwhile in evil lair Ripcon walked up to his Boss and bowed. "Boss, The other rangers have arrived and they have their Zords" Riocon said and his boss just growled in anger at this. "I guess we have to change our plans. We're going to take over Equestria but first I'm going to get my hands on those Ninja Power Stars" Said Ripcon's boss and stood up. "Give me a monster that can destroy those Power Rangers and the Elements of Harmony" Said Ripcon's boss and waved Ripcon to start looking for a new monster. > Chapter 7: A new home in Equestria > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canterlot had just been through an attack unlike any other. They had been involved in an attack by changelings. But robots and giant monsters and then being saved by a big colorful robot controlled by equally colorful heroes was a new experience. While everything was being fixed, the rangers, Main 6 and Princess Celestia had gone to the throne room and tried to answer all the questions about who they were, where they were, who the enemy was and why they were here. "So let me see if I got it straight" Sarah said, holding up her hands for everyone to understand. "We are in an alternate dimension called Equestria which is inhabited by ponies" She said and Twilight and the other five nodded. "And here there are also Dragons and other magical creatures" Preston continued and the main 6 continued to nod. "And somehow Ripcon has traveled to Equestria and is trying to conquer this world" Calvin said, scratching his head as they continued to nod. "And so the Nexus Prism gave us back our powers and sent us here to protect this world." Hayley said last. "Looks like we're all up to date now." Brody said. Calvin put his hands on his head over all the information he just received and said "Okay, of all the crazy and wacky things that have happened to us as rangers, this one takes the cake". While Pinkie started thinking about cake, Rainbow took a step forward with a cocky expression on her face. "Please, it can't be any crazier than what we've been through." she said, thinking of all that had been. "Sorry Rainbow, but what a Power ranger is going through is one of the craziest things you can go through." Sarah said, wringing her arms. But Rainbow didn't believe her and said "well, name some crazy things you've been through". Preston raised his hand and said "We were turned into trophies". "We got eaten by a spider monster" Calvin said. "I was turned invisible" Hayley said. "We were turned into stuffed animals" said Sarah and Rainbow and the other looked at them confused. "Okay, it was crazy stuff" she said. Then Princess Celestia stepped forward and said "Regardless of what has happened, I appreciate you helping us with this attack". Brody turned to Celestia and bowed. “We were just doing our duty, your highness' he said.'and the other bowed after him. "There is no need for bows." Celestia said, shaking her head. "But what is your plan now?" she asked and the rangers looked at each other and didn't have to say anything. Their eyes said what they thought and they all agreed. Brody turned to Celestia and said "as long as Ripcon is loose in this realm it is not time for us to return home yet. I think I speak for all of us when I say we stay and defend Equestria until the threat is over". The other agreed with their leader and was ready to defend Equestria. Then Twilight took a step forward and said "if you plan to defend our home, we intend to help". The other fairy came forward and agreed. The rangers watched how willing the ponies were to protect their home. "Thanks girls, we could use the help" Brody said and the other nodded. But at that moment Preston thought of something. "Just one thing I wonder, where are we going to live?" He asked and the other Ranger looked at her and began to think. But before he thought too far, Twilight said "You can stay with us over in Ponyville". It looked at her and Hayley said "Aren't we going to take up space?". Twilight just shook her head and said "not at all, I have enough space at home". The rangers looked at each other and then back at Twilight. "Alright then. Next stop, Ponyville" Brody said. With that, Celestia stepped forward and said "Looks like you've made up your mind. Good luck on your mission Rangers". She then turned to Twilight and said "Twilight Sparkle, I trust you to help our new friends on their journey in Equestria". Twilight bowed to the princess and said "of course Princess. I promise". Twilight turned to her new and old friends. "Alright everypony, then we head to Ponyville." she said and with that the rangers and the Main 6 headed towards the train station. When it was at the train station, a couple of Earth Ponies were loading wooden boxes onto the train. But one of them happened to hit a pile of boxes and it caused two smaller boxes to fall. The heroes watched as the boxes wiggled and ran away. "Look out" Twilight said and used her magic and caught both boxes with her magic before they hit the Earth Pony. "Oh, thank you, Your Highness," the Earthpony said gratefully. "I just wanted to help" Twilight said, placing the boxes on the ground. The rangers were already impressed with Twilight's magic but Preston was the most impressed. "That was absolutely amazing" He thought, thinking how incredible Twilight's magic is. With that Preston took out his Dragon Wand thinking ”maybe I can learn some Equestria magic while we're here”. While he was thinking about that, Hayley saw that there was another box starting to fall but no one saw it. "Watch out" she yelled and that made everyone look up and saw the box fall. Preston pointed his wand at the box and said "Levitation" and it made the box stop in the air. The main 6 looked at Preston in astonishment. Twilight was the most stunned out of the six. When Preston had put the box down, he walked over to the Earth Pony. "Are you okay?" he asked and the earth pony was so shocked. "um, yeah, I'm fine. Thanks" he said and Preston waved his hand and said "It was no problem". "Nicely done Presto" Brody said, patting his friend on the back. Scratching the back of his head and laughing a little, Preston said "Thanks Brody". Afterwards Rainbow flew in and said "You got some pretty good magic with your stick there". But Twilight stepped forward and said "It's a wand, not a stick". With everyone's attention on magic, no one but one of them noticed that the train to Ponyville had arrived "Um, Guys. The train is here," Fluttershy said in a calm voice. With that, everyone checked the train. "Oh, okay everyone, here we go" Brody said and with that everyone got on trains. Later in Ponyville After a while, the heroes reached Ponyville's train station. "Alright Power Rangers, Let me welcome you to Ponyville" Twilight said as they got off the train. The four new rangers admired the cute little town. "It's so nice here" Hayley said, looking around. "Yeah, it's really peaceful here" Calvin continued but then Pinkie jumped up. "Oh My Cupcakes, Meet me at Sugarcube Corner in an hour" She screamed and ran at full speed. "Um, what was that about?" Preston asked confused and the other Rangers were also confused at the quick departure. "She's probably preparing a 'Welcome to Ponyville Party' for you all" Rainbow said. She and the other ponies weren't surprised by Pinkie's actions. "She doesn't have to go that far for us" Calvin said but Twilight turned to him and said "She does that every time somepony new comes to Ponyville. It was just a matter of time". "Anyway, how about a tour of town." Twilight suggested and they all nodded. As they walked through town, Brody noticed something different. "Something's different" Brody said and it caught everyone's attention. "What do you mean?" Twilight asked. "Before we went to Canterlot everyone looked at me strangely, but now they don't. even now when there are five humans here" He explained but before anyone could answer they heard Starlight's voice. "It was probably because of us" she said walking over to the other with Trixie and Spike. When Preston saw Spike, he was surprised. "Wow, a dragon, Totally awesome" he said happily. "Alright guys, these are our friends here in Ponyville. Starlight, Trixie and Spike" Twilight said, turning to the three. "You guys are going to love this, these four are the other Rangers that are going to help us with these monster attackers." She explained. "Nice to meet you, my name is Starlight Glimmer" Starlight said and then Trixie stepped forward "Trixie Lunamoon at your service" She said lifting her magic hat. "I'm Spike. Hi" he said, waving. With that, the four rangers stepped forward to introduce themselves. "Nice to meet you, I'm Preston" he said. "Hi, I'm Calvin" Calvin said, waving. "My name is Hayley, it's so nice to meet you" She said and then it was Sarah's turn. "And my name is Sarah" she said and then they shook hands/hoof/claw with each other. When it was done Starlight said "Okay Brody, you were wondering what had changed, weren't you?" and Brody nodded. "Well, The three of us talked to Mayor Mare and she gave a speech explaining that you are friends and you wouldn't hurt anyone" she explained. "Wow, thanks for that. It'll probably be easier to walk around town now" Brody said, Glad he wouldn't get any more looks like that. "Okay, shall we continue with the tour?" Twilight asked and the other agreed so they all and the new three joined the tour Later outside Sugarcube Corner After a while, they arrived at the last stop on the tour. When the rangers got closer to Sugarcube Corner, they could smell all the sweets. "It smells amazing" Hayley said and they all stood in front of the door. "And the taste is even better than the smell" said Applejack. "Okay then we'll go in." Brody said, taking a step forward. "Alright but you guys should prepare yourself. Pinkie's party can be pretty wild" Rainbow warned. With that, Brody opened the door while Rainbow covered her face with her hooves to protect herself from the confetti. but nothing came. With this surprise, everyone went into the bakery. There was nobody there. It was lit inside so someone seemed to be home. There was also a pie on the counter. Twilight walked over to it but when she got there a confetti cannon went off behind them. They all turned to see Balongs, decorations and a banner that said "Welcome to Ponyville, Power Rangers". With that Pinkie jumped up with the pie on her head and yelled "SURPRISE" And everyone turned around quickly and yelled a little. "Why are you just standing there? Let the party begin" Pinkie said and threw the pie in the air and ate the whole thing in one bite, much to the rangers' amazement and a little disgust. "How can she…?" Brody asked before Twilight stopped him. "Don't ask, it's just Pinkie, it makes it easier" She said to stop him from asking an impossible question. "Pinkie, this is incredible" Sarah said and then Calvin stepped forward. "But what are we waiting for, let's party" he said and then everyone cheered and started to party. > Chapter 8: A Great and Powerful Duo > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And then, when Tommy caught the last Mega Arrow with the Ninja Falconzord, we fired all our blasters and then Tommy sent the Mega Arrow right at Lord Draven and we defeated him" Brody Said to Twilight. Over the past few days, she has been grilling all five rangers about their powers and past adventures. It has been a couple of attacks with small squads of bots here and there. But when it happens, one or more rangers and ponies stick around and deal with it. "Wow, that sounds incredible. So many different ranger teams with unique powers. It's nothing more than amazing." Twilight said with more curiosity. "So how many rangers are on each team?" Twilight asked. "It's different for every team. Some have five, some have six like us and some have more," Brody said. Twilight was more excited but then she got confused and said "Wait, six? But you're only five". Brody understood why she was confused and said "There's only five here but there's one more Ninja Steel ranger". Twilight checked and her curiosity grew stronger. "Who is it?" She asked in an impatient voice. Brody chuckled at Twilight's curiosity and said "That's my older brother Levi. The Gold Ranger, he's very skilled and a good musician". Twilight looked at Brody and was surprised that his brother was the sixth ranger. "Really, what kind of music does he play?" she asked and Brody said "Country music". "Oh that's Applejack's favorite music, she would probably enjoy hearing his music" Twilight said. "Yeah, I think Levi will enjoy meeting a fan" Brody said with a smile. Outside of Twilight Castle, Preston and Trixie had been hooking up with each other over their passion for magic tricks over the past few days and had even planned a magic show tonight. "Okay Trixie, should we go through the routine again?" Preston asked nervously. It was his first magic performance in Equestria and he wants to do a good job. "Don't worry Preston. You've got what it takes. there's no reason to be nervous" Trixie said in a soothing tone. "I appreciate the thought Trixie. but what if something goes wrong." Preston said. "Take it easy, with the experience of the Great and Powerful Trixie and the incredible Presto Change-O everything will be fine" Trixie said with a confident tone in her voice. Preston exhaled slowly. Trixie was right, it will be fine. It was just stage nerves. "Thanks Trixie. I needed to hear that" he said and Trixie just smiled. "It was nothing, that's what friends do," she said. "So. shall we go through routine" she asked and preston nodded. but before he started, Preston's Ninjacom went off. When Preston answered, Brody's voice was heard on the other end. "Preston. We have an attack in town. hurry up" Brody said. "On my way Brody" Preston replied and hung up. Trixie looked at Preston and asked "Do you need help?" Preston looked at Trixie and said "Yeah, I might need it, come on" and then the two magicians ran towards town. The two rushed into town and Preston took out his power star and Morpher and placed the star in the Morpher saying "Ninja Spin" as it ran and morphed into his Ranger form. When it arrived they saw the other rangers, Main 6 and Starlight were in the middle of a battle with bots and a monster with dark green skin, Red eyes, Wings and a staff with a circle on top with a mirror in the middle. (Monster idea: Shockatron from Lightspeed Rescue) "Give it up you goblin" Said Rainbow with a slightly teasing tone. But when the monster heard it, he shouted "GOBLIN?! The name is Magilection, and your power stars are coming with me". "Please. You monsters need new material" Preston said and then he and Trixie jumped into battle. "Yeah, try something original," Sarah said, knocking down a Kudabot. They continued to beat down the bots and then Calvin charged towards Magilection with his Ninja Battle Morpher in claw mode. "Time to claw" he said and raised the morph to attack. "There won't be anything sticky here" Magilection said and raised his staff and said "Time to reflect a little" and then he fired a shot from the staff and hit Calvin and then he was caught in a small mirror. When the others saw it, they were shocked. "Calvin, where are you?" Hayley said but then she heard backing from the mirror. When she looked a little closer, Calvin wa stuck. "Help, I can't get out" he said and then Hayley and Rainbow Dash rushed forward. "What have you done to him" Rainbow said, rushing straight ahead. "Don't worry, you will join her" said Magilection and fired several shots at them catching both of them. The heroes looked in shock at their trapped friends. "You will pay for that" Applejack said and then they all rushed towards Magilection and tried to attack her. But Magilection managed to fight them back and unleashed a large amount of shots that managed to catch everyone except Brody, Preston, Twilight, Starlight and Trixie. "Hey, it's cramped in here" Pinkie said but no one laughed. "This is no time for jokes Pinkie" Hayley said trying to get free. "Take this ugly" Trixie said and shot a magic beam to knock the monster down but it had no effect. "Ha Ha Ha, Was that what you call an attack, it was pathetic" Magilection said laughing as he raised his staff. "This is an attack" he said and fired a shot that knocked Trixie to the ground. "Trixie" Preston said, running to her to make sure she's okay. "Hey, no one's laughing at my friend" Starlight said to Magilection. "Starlight, Brody. let's combine our powers" Twilight said and they nodded. The two ponies lined up so Brody was in the middle and it was all aimed at Magilection. Brody placed his Power Star in his sword as the ponies charged up magical beams with their horns. "Ready" Starlight said, "Aim" Twilight said, "NOW, Ninja Star Morph" Brody called out and began to spin at high speed as Twilight and Starlight fired their magic at the Magilection. "Take this, Reflecto Shield" Magilection shouted and then he created a shield that reflected the Magis Rays and knocked back the Star Morph. "WHAT" Brody said in the air before Magillection shot him and trapped him in a mirror and Twilight and Starlight were trapped right after. "HA, Four Stars done, just one to go" he said looking around for the last one. "Wait, where did he go?" he said when he noticed no one was there. Behind a building, Preston and Trixie had taken cover. "Are you okay Trixie?" Preston asked but Trixie just nodded in response. "We have to somehow defeat him. that should make everyone go back to normal" he said but Trixie just looked at him and said "We? There's nothing I can do. go without me". Preston looked at Trixie in surprise and said "What do you mean? I need your help". but Trixie just said "I'm not strong enough to stop that monster. I can't do it" and then she kept her head down. Preston looked at Trixie and took off his helmet. "Trixie, you're an incredible pony and you've done so many incredible things" he said placing his hand on Trixie's shoulder making Trixie look up. "Listen, I was worried about the show before. but you said with our experience and our skills we can do anything" he said with a smile. Trixie looked at her new friend and smiled. "Thanks Preston, Even the Great and Powerful Trixie needs some words of encouragement" she said and Preston smiled. "Now, I have an idea of how we can defeat this freak, but I need the Great and Powerful Trixie's help" he said, putting his helmet on. Magillection looked around for the last ranger. "Come on blue, Where are you, Don't you want to come with your friends" he said, pointing to the mirrors with all the Rangers and ponies. With that, Preston appeared behind him and said "Hey, mirror dork" and Magillection turned around. "If you want magic, you'll get magic," Preston said, taking out his dragon wand. "So, you want a magic duel, so be it" Magillection said getting ready. "Take this, Dragonzyer full of fire" Preston said and held out his hand and then a blue energy dragon formed around the wrist of the hand and spewed blue fire straight at Magillection. "Ha, seems you forgot, Reflecto Shield" he said, shielding himself from the fire. "Time to end this" he said and fired a shot with his staff. But Preston surrounded his wand with blue magic and waved once and teleported away. "What" Magillection said as Preston disappeared in front of him. "Where did he g..." he said but was interrupted by an attack from behind. When he turned around he saw Preston standing there with his wand in one hand and his Ninja Blaster in the other. "Why you" he said and continued to try to catch Preston but he kept teleporting away and shot him when he wasn't looking. "You can't go on forever," Magillection said. "Oh yeah, take this then. Ninja Blaster, Power Up." Preston said placing his power star into the blaster. "It will never work" said Magillection, ready to protect again. But before he could set up the shield, Trixie rushed forward and tackled Magillection from the side. It was so strong that Magillection fell to the ground. "Ha, That's how it goes when you mess with the Great and Powerful Trixie" She said proudly and then she levitated his staff and ran away before he could get up. "Come back, you..." Magillection said but then Preston yelled "Ninja Blaster Whiplash" And then a blue energy whip came out of the blaster and it knocked Magillection back a little bit. Trixie used her magic and slammed the staff into the ground causing the mirror in it to shatter. When that happened, all the mirrors lit up and everyone was free and cheering for Preston and Trixie. "Time to end this, Power Star, Lock In" Ha said and placed his star in his sword and held out the wand. "No, I can't go out like this," Magillection said angrily. "Sorry, but it's time for the final act" Trixie said and Preston prepared his magic. "Magic Dragon Super Slash" he said and spun the star. "Final attack" he said and ran forward and used his magic and was engulfed in blue fire and sprayed fire at Magillection and then Preston finished it off with a final slash. "You shattered me" Magillection screamed before exploding. The other rushed to his friends and cheered for their victory. "That was Epic," Brody said. "Yeah, when did you learn teleportation magic?" Hayley asked. Preston scratched the back of his head and said "It was Trixie. She taught me so the plan could work" Trixie was a little shy at the comment and said "It's just what friends do". Everyone laughed at Trixie's response. But on a nearby roof, Ripcon stood angry that the Magillection failed. "Time for a magic trick of my own" He said, taking out his Gigantifier and aiming it at where the Magillection was destroyed. "Abra Kadabra, Giantify!" He said and fired a shot. It caused the ground to shake and Magillection to grow. "My performance is not finished yet" he said and everyone turned to him. "Looks like it's not over yet" Brody said and All the rangers took out their Zord Stars. "Zord Stars, Lock In!" All the rangers said placing their stars in their swords. "Activate" everyone said and pressed the yellow button. "Ninja Spin!" Everyone shouted and their Zords came rushing in. "Ninja Steel Zords, Out of the Shadows" Brody said and raised his sword. "Ninja Steel Megazord, combine! Ninja Spin!" he said, spinning the star and the Zords formed the Megazord. When it entered the Cockpit they activated their Super Ninja Steel Mode. "Ninja Super Steel Mode, Ready!" Brody said and now everyone was ready. "Good luck hurting me. I haven't spread my wings yet" Magillection said and he spread his wings and flew up and the rangers looked up at Magillection. "Time for some wing action." Magillection said and flew straight at the rangers and stabbed them a few times with his wings. The rangers had taken some injuries and so Calvin said "How do we catch him?". Preston thought for a moment and son he said "I know. Let's try the Dragon formation" and gave Brody the blue Zord Star. "Smart thought Presto" he said and held out the star. "Zord Stars, Lock In!" He said placing the star in the Ninja Master Blade. "Ninja Steel Megazord Dragon Formation, Combine" he said, spinning the star and the Megazord went through another transformation. The Robo Red Zord jumped out of the center and transformed into a left arm. And the Dragon Zord jumped into the middle and then the wings and the tail separated and it became new wings and a tail. Finally, a large blue star came and was placed on the dragon's head. With that, the Megazord had taken its Dragon Formation and looked like a dragon. "Ninja Steel Megazord Dragon Formation, Ready" Brody said and with that the rangers had entered the new cockpit. It didn't wait a second and flew after Magillection. "Wait, since when can that one fly" Magillection said in a panic. He tried to fly away but the rangers quickly caught up. "Take this, Dragon Wing Whip" Preston said and then the Megazord spun around Magillection and slashed him with its wings. Magillection was so injured that he fell to the ground. "Quick, Let's finish it" Sarah said ready to finish him off. Brody turned to Preston and said "Hey Presto, You get the honor" and gave Preston the Ninja Master Blade. "Really, thanks Brody" he said, turning forward. "Begin Final Attack, Ninja Spin!" Preston said and spun the star and got the Ninja Super Steel Blaster. "Ninja Super Steel Blaster, Energize!" he said, pointing it straight ahead. "Ninja Steel Megazord, Dragon Ligthtning, Final Attack" everyone said and then Preston fired the blaster and the other high diagonally with their swords. At the same time, the Megazord shot blue lightning at Magillection. "Abra Kada Boom" he said before exploding. "That Was Magical" Preston said and everyone cheered. "Show over, Ninjas win" Brody said and then everyone jumped out of the Megazord. It was evening now and everyone had gathered in town for Preston and Trixie's show. Behind the scenes, both prepared. "Nervous?" Trixie asked but Preston just shook his head and said "I have a Great and Powerful friend here. I should ask you if you're nervous". "phew, I'm the Great and Powerful Trixie. I don't get nervous" she said and that made Preston giggle. Both got up and were ready to start. That gave the signal for Starlight to introduce them and she walked onto the stage. "My Lady Mares and Gentalcolt, It is my honor to introduce a duo that reaches across worlds. Allow me to introduce The Great and Powerful Trixie and The incredible Presto Change-O" She said and then opened the curtain and then all their friends cheered. Over in Appleloosa The residents enjoyed a quiet evening but when it seemed calm, a squad of Kudabots appeared and began to attack the town. Some tried to fight back but were outnumbered and were defeated quickly. The Kudabots were ready to finish off the one who tried to fight but before he did he heard a voice behind them. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Partner" said the voice with a country accent. "This town isn't big enough for you, so scram" he said but the Kudabots turned on him and tried to attack but were quickly shot down by the stranger. The ponies watching saw the mysterious stranger. "Don't worry Partners, I will protect you when needed" he said, lifting his cowboy hat and walking away. Leave all the ponies in confusion. > Chapter 9: A Wild West Ranger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our heroes were having a quiet day in Ponyville when Applejack received a letter from her cousin Braeburn over in Appleloosa. He told her about the attack and that they was saved by a mysterious cowboy. He tells about every attack the cowboy comes, defeats them and leaves. He thinks it would be a good idea if the Rangers came because these are the robots they usually deal with. When Applejack revealed the letter to everyone, it didn't take long before they decided to invest. Starlight, Trixie and Spike stayed behind because Twilight wanted someone to keep Ponyville safe while it was gone. After a quick train journey, they arrived at Appleloosa. "Okay y'all, Welcome to Appleloosa" Said Applejack. "Wow, it feels like we're in the wild west," Hayley said excitedly. The other agreed until Applejack's cousin Braeburn came up to them. "cousin AJ, Glad you came" he said walking up to Applejack. "No problem Braeburn. You said you needed help, so we'll help" she said, smiling at her cousin. "So I take it this is the Power Rangers I've heard of. The name is Braeburn, Nice to meet you" Braeburn said looking at the rangers. "Yep we are" Brody said walking over. "I'm Brody. And this is Preston, Calvin, Hayley and Sarah. Nice to meet you too" Brody said introducing the other. It nodded and Braeburn raised his hat. It started going through town and Twilight asked "So what can you tell us about the mysterious cowboy?" Braeburn turned to her and said "Not much, we've had three attacks and each time he's popped up. We've never been able to get a clear glimpse of him. When he's done he just leaves. Even if we try to keep him, he vanishes into thin air". Everyone listened to the story with great interest. "The only thing we know for sure is that he walks on two legs, wears a white cowboy hat and has a strange golden weapon." Braeburn said and it got the rangers thinking. "White cowboy hat" Brody said and Sarah froze and said "Golden weapon" then Calvin said "Doesn't that sound a little familiar" and the other agreed. Braeburn turned and said "Now that I think about it, he looked a bit like you" and pointed at Brody. Brody and the other looked at each other and knew who it was. "Have you come up with anything?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, It has to be Levi" Sarah said and the other agreed. "Umm, Levi. Who's that?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Levi. You mean as in Brody's older brother and the Gold Ninja Steel Ranger" Twilight said and Brody nodded. "Wow, Wait a minute" Rainbow said with her hooves up and said "Your brother is a Ranger too?" Brody nodded and said "Yeah. and it seems like he's here somewhere, but how are we going to find him?" and began to think. "Wait. If he's here maybe we can contact him with our Ninjacoms" Sarah suggested. "Good idea Sarah." Brody said. But before he could reach his Ninjacom, they were hit by a shot that knocked them to the ground. "It's time for new chew bones" A new voice was heard. When the heroes looked up they saw a werewolf-like monster. It has sharp claws, red eyes and silver armor. "Dreadwolf!" Brody said, seeing the monster. "How can you be here?" he asked. "Oh, I came here to take care of a pest. But it seems I have eleven other pests to deal with." Dreadwolf said, walking forward. "Hey, We're not pests you big meanie" Pinkie said waving her hoof. As everyone stood up, Applejack turned to Braeburn. "Cous, Get everyone to safety. We'll deal with the fluffball" she said and Braeburn nodded and said "Okay Stay safe cous". "Time to play rough" Dreadwolf said and the rangers got ready. "It's Morphin' Time! Power Star" Brody said and all five held out their stars. "Lock In!" All five said, locking their stars into their Morphers. "Ready! Ninja Spin!" Everyone called out and morphed into their ranger forms. "Ninja Rangers, Fear No Danger" Said all the rangers and then they and the main 6 rushed towards Dreadwolf. "Time for the pack, Basherbot" He shouted and an army of Basherbots teleported in. "Take them" he said and then he rushed and everyone ran forward. The ponies took on the Basherbots while the rangers went after Dreadwolf. The rangers attacked hard but Dreadwolf managed to hold them back. "Whatever, it doesn't even scratch my claws" Dreadwolf said mockingly. The rangers were irritated by what Dreadwolf said and became more serious. "Enough games. ready guys" Brody said and the other replied "Ready". It brought out its Ninja Battle Morphers. "Ninja Battle Morpher, Bow Mode" Hayley and Sarah said. "Ninja Battle Morpher, Blade Mode" Preston and Calvin said. "Ninja Battle Morpher, Claw Mode" Brody said at last. "Hyper Mode" everyone said, placing their power stars in the middle. "Bring it on" said Dreadwolf, ready for the attacks. "Hyper Arrow Blast" Hayley and Sarah shouted and fired two arrows at Preston and Calvin as Brody jumped into the air. "Hyper Blade Slash" Preston and Calvin shouted and slashed the arrows taking in the energy and sending it up with his own energy at Brody. “Hyper Claw Shred, Final attack” He shouted and combined all of the other's ranged attackers with his own and formed a large energy shuriken aimed straight at Dreadwolf. But Dreadwolf caught the attack with his claws and smashed it. The rangers watched in shock as the attack did nothing. When the main 6 were done with the Basherbots, they rushed to help the rangers. "Do you need a hoof?" Rainbow Dash asked as she flew in. "You could say that. our attack had no effect" Sarah said. "Time to scratch you all off" Dreadwolf said, getting ready. He raised his arms around his sides and above his head, as he did so a red full moon appeared behind him. "Full Moon Energy Blast" he shouted and howled as he clawed forward and shot red energy waves. The rangers and the main 6 tried to block the attack but were quickly knocked back. "Ha, time to finish you all off" Dreadwolf said but Applejack stepped forward and got in the way. "I ain't going to let you harm my friends" Applejack said standing in front of Dreadwolf. Dreadwolf looked at her and grinned. "Then you'll be the first" he said, raising his claws. "Applejack, get out of there" Brody called and the other tried to get Applejack to move away but she stood her ground. But just as Dreadwolf was about to strike, he was shot in the back. "Grr, who was that?" He said angrily and turned and then he saw who attacked him. It was a human with a white cowboy hat, a white t-shirt and he was holding some sort of golden blaster. "You, what are you doing here" Dreadwolf said when he saw who it was. "Sorry Partner. but this town has no place for wolves." said the cowboy. When Brody and the others saw who it was, they were shocked. "Levi" Brody called out when he saw his brother. "Don't worry Brody, I'll take care of dog breath" Levi said referring to Dreadwolf. "I'm going to make you a chew toy" Dreadwolf said but Levi didn't react. "Golden Ninja Power Star!" He said and took out his Gold Power Star and his Morpher. "Lock In!" he said, locking his stars into the Morpher. "Ready! Ninja Spin!" he said, spinning the star. With that he began to morph into his ranger suit. It was a little different from the other rangers suits. Instead of dark gray arms, they were dark blue, he also had armor over his chest and the helmet looked like a cowboy hat. "Rhythm of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Gold!" He said holding his Rockstorm Guitar. "Yeehaw! Let's get this party started!" he said and used his guitar and played a rock rift. "I'm going to take you down" said Dreadwolf and roared at Levi and in turn rushed at Dreadwolf. They clashed with slashes and kicks from both sides. "I will defeat you with my WOLF CLAWS" said Dreadwolf and fired waves of energy with his claws. Levi managed to block all of them and said "Take this, Rockstorm Blast" and fired several bolts from his sword and it managed to knock back Dreadwolf. "Time for a real shock" Levi said and grabbed his Storm Star. "Storm Star, Lock In!" he said, placing it in the sword. "Storm Star, Lightning Mode" he said and made the star have lightning on it. "That won't help you," Dreadwolf said, raising his arms above his head. "Full Moon Energy Blast" he shouted and howled. "Ninja Lightning Attack" Levi shouted and spun the star. He shot a bolt of lightning straight at Dreadwolf and Dreadwolf sent out energy waves. The lightning came between the waves and formed a cloud over Dreadwolf. While Levi was blocking Dreadwolf's attack, Dreadwolf was struck by lightning right on the head. "Owi, that hurt" Dreadwolf said with his hands on his head. The Main 6 and the other rangers cheered on Levi and Brody said "Finish him Bro". "There you have it, Storm Star, Tornado Mode" Levi said changing the star so it had a tornado. Levi pressed a button on the sword and held it like a guitar. "Ninja Spin!" he said, twirling the star. "Ninja Tornado Attack" he said and swung the sword and it created a cyclone that swept Levi and Dreadwolf into the air. "Final attack" Levi said and started stabbing Dreadwolf several times until he was about to explode. But before that Levi took out his Burger Camera and said "Say Hayburger" and when Dreadwolf came into the picture he said "Hayburger?" before Levi took a picture and then Dreadwolf Exploded. (Author's note: Did I need to mention the Burgar camera, No. Is it silly, Yes. Did I do it for fun, Absolutely) "Yeehaw, that's how it goes" Levi said, punching the air. With that, the main 6 and the ranger ran towards Levi. "Levi" Brody said as he got close. "Brody, It's nice to see some familiar faces" Levi said and high-fived Brody. "So you're Levi Weston. Brody's been telling me so much about you. My name is Twilight Sparkle. Nice to meet you." Twilight said, holding out her hoof. Levi took the hoof and said "Nice to meet you" with some confusion. When Levi stood up Sarah said "Good to see you're okay. But when did you get here?" But before Levi could answer, Ripcon had landed on a rock nearby. "Time for a bigger rodeo" he said, aiming the Gigantifier. "Giantify" he said and fired. When it hit, Dreadwolf grew into a giant. "I'M BACK AGAIN" said Dreadwolf as he grew. "Wow, Looks like it's not over yet" Levi said as he watched the Dreadwolf grow. "We need the Zords" Brody said. But before they could summon them, the Ninja Nexus Prism flew forward and landed in front of them. "The Prism? Why is it here again" Twilight asked. Before anyone could answer, Prisman began to spin faster and then it sent out the Bull Rider Zord Star and flew away. "Yeehaw, My Zord Star" Levi said, looking at his Zord Star. "Guys, let me handle the big bad wolf." he said and the other Rangers nodded. "Get him Bro" Brody said and then strung Levi forward. "Zord Stars, Lock In!" he said, placing the star in the sword. "Activate" he said, pressing the button on the sword. "Ninja Spin!" he said, spinning the star saying "Bull Rider Zords, out of the shadows!". As he did so the ground shook again and in the distance came two Zords. One of them looked like the Robo Red Zord but was light blue and the other looked like a bull with wheels. "Wow, You have two Zords, Awesome" Rainbow said when she saw Levi's Zords. "You're right there. The Robo Rider Zord and the Ninja Bull Zord are Awesome" Levi said to Rainbow and turned back to his Zords. "Time for the big ride" he said and got ready. "Bull Rider Megazord, combine! Ninja Spin!" He said spinning the star again and the Megazord transformation began. It started with the Robo Rider Zord jumping off and the Ninja Bull Zord Detached the head and then the body twisted and formed the Megazords main body. After that the bull landed his head on his chest and eventually the Robo Rider Zord jumped and sat on top and then a large version of the Bull Rider Zord Star landed on top of everything. And with that the Megazord was complete and then Levi said "Bull Rider Megazord, ready!" When he landed in the cockpit he saw his Super Ninja Steel Mode Star and picked it up. "Super Ninja Steel Mode Star, Lock In!" He said and placed it in the Rockstorm Guitar. "Ninja Spin!" he said, spinning the star and activating his Super Ninja Steel Mode. "Like a cowboy robot is going to get me" Dreadwolf said and then they started fighting. Levi managed to spear Dreadwolf and gain the upper hand early. But when Ripcon saw it, he was furious. "I won't let them win so easily." He said and pressed a red button on the Gigantifier. "Time for some Skullgators" he said, firing the laser at the ground twice. Where it hit, dark smoke appeared and bones formed into two giant bone monsters. The two Skullgators appeared behind Levi and attacked him with his back turned. "Hey, Who invited these guys" he said when he saw the Skullgators. "What in Tarnation is that?" Applejack said as she saw the Skullgators. "Skullgators, that's trouble," Preston said. "Levi needs our help, Come on team" Brody said rushing forward with their Zors stars at the ready. "Ninja Spin!" they shouted, summoning their Zords. The five Zords came together and combined into the Ninja Steel Megazord. When it came to the Skullgators Brody said "Hey, Leave my Brother alone" and then the Ninja Steel Megazord attacked the two Skullgators. "Levi, Take care of Dreadwolf. We'll take care of these" Brody said and then Levi walked towards Dreadwolf again. The Ninja Steel Megazord managed to fight back the two Skullgators so they collided with each other. "Ninja Steel Megazord, Master Slash" Brody said and then the Megazord slashed both Skullgators. "Levi, That's all you" Brody said turning to Levi. Bull Rider Megazord and Dreadwolf had gotten some distance between them. "Time to end this" Levi said, pointing the Rockstorm Guitar forward and the Bull Rider Megazord pointing the Bull Rifle at Dreadwolf. "Bull Rider Megazord, Rodeo Rapid Fire, Final Attack" he said holding the trigger and the Megazord fired several shots hitting Dreadwolf head on. "You scratched me out again!" shouted Dreadwolf before exploding. "Yeehaw, Show over, Ninjas win" Said Levi cheering. > Chapter 10: How the Cowboy Came to Equestria > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the Ranger managed to defeat Dreadwolf, they left the Megazord and went towards the others. "That Was Awesome" Said Rainbow Dash in full fan mode. "Yeehaw, that was a Megazord in my style" Applejack said. "Nice to meet a fan" Levi said, making a motion as if lifting his hat. "Alright, Power Down" Brody said and all the rangers went back to their normal selves. "Okay, I think it's time for some introductions," Twilight said. "Good point Twilight" Brody said, turning to his brother. "Levi. These are our new friends here in Equestria" Brody said, turning to the Main 6. "Girls, This is my older brother and The Gold Ranger, Levi" The Main 6 walked up to Levi with smiles on their faces. "It's nice to meet you Levi. My name is Twilight Sparkle. And these are my friends Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie" she said and the others greeted Levi kindly. "Nice to meet you too, My name is Levi Weston" he said, lifting his hat. When everyone said hello, Sarah stepped forward and said "So Levi, when did you get here?" Levi turned to her and said "A few days ago, It was really weird." "Would you be able to tell us what happened? and it's not a problem" Twilight asked. "It's no problem" Levi said and then he began to tell what had happened to him. A couple of days earlier Levi had just arrived at his and Brody's dad's house. It had planned to walk from there to where it would set up camp. Levi had expected Brody and his dad to be there already. But when Levi arrives at the house, he only sees his father Dane Romero outside with a camping backpack on his back. "Hey Dad" Levi said as he got out of the car. He took his backpack out the back hatch and walked towards his father. "Hey Levi" Said his dad, hugging his son. "Hey do you know when Brody is coming" he asked but Levi just shook his head and said "No, I thought he was already here". "He was probably just a little late, He'll probably be here soon" Levi's dad said and Levi agreed so it was waiting for Brody to arrive. One hour later  "Okay, Now it's been a whole hour and no Brody" Levi said worriedly. "I'll call him" He said and took out his cell phone and started calling Brody. But when he put it down again Levi said "No answer". When he heard that, Levi's dad took out his own cell phone and said "Here, let me try" and then he tried to call Brody but got no answer either. "Okay, Now I'm worried. Brody usually answers when you call, could something have happened?" Levi said. But before he could worry too much, Levi's Ninjacom went off. Levi picked up the com and said "Hello?". Then Levi heard Redbot's Voice on the other side saying "Levi, are you there?" "Redbot, You seem worried." said levi and then Redbot let out a sigh of relief. "Oh dear motherboard, I haven't been able to contact the others. I thought everyone had disappeared" Redbot said and that made Levi stop. "Wait, can't you contact the other one?" Levi asked and Radbot replied "yeah, maybe you should come back here". Levi thought for a moment. It seemed like the only choice right now. "Okay, I'm on my way" Levi said and hung up. "Sorry dad. But the camping will probably have to wait" he said and started to walk towards the car but then he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Wait, I'll come with you" Levi's dad said and Levi paused. "Looks like Brody and the others are gone. you and Radbot are going to need all the help you can get" He said and Levi thought for a moment. He was right. With the other rangers missing and Mick all the way in the Lion Galaxy, they need help. "Alright then we'll go" Levi said and then they both jumped into the car. Some time later "And that's when I contacted you" Redbot said, just finished explaining everything about how Brody was attacked by the Kudabots and how the others got their power stars from the Prism before disappearing. "So where do you think the others are?" Levi asked but Redbot had no answer. But it didn't take long for the sensors to go off and catch Redbot's attention. "But what now" Redbot said, walking towards the computer. "What is it?" Levi's dad asked and when Redbot saw what it was he said "Something or someone is being teleported right into the base". When he said that, lightning started and then someone appeared. When the teleportation was complete it turned out to be the ranger's close friend Mick Kanic. (ps, Yes that's his name, that's how it is) "Mick" Levi said and went to hug Mick. "Hi there" Mick said, hugging Levi back. "It's good to be back. Where is everyone?" Mick asked but Levi just looked down. "What, did something happen" asked Mick and Levi looked up and said "well..." Another explanation later "So, Brody and the other rangers just disappeared after getting their Power Stars back" Mick said when he had heard the whole story and the three nodded. Mick understood the gravity of the situation and began to panic a bit saying "W-We have to find them". "But we don't know where they are," said Levi's father and then the sensors went off again. "But what now" Said Redbot, looking at what it was. "There's something outside" he said and everyone went out. When it came out, they saw the Ninja Nexus Prism floating. "The prism? what does this do" Levi asked. "It came here before and gave Preston, Calvin, Hayley and Shara their stars before they disappeared" Redbot said. Levi turned to Redbot and said "Then I will disappear too, Why would the prism do that?" Before Redbot could answer Mick said "I have a theory" and then everyone turned to him. "I think the Nexus Prism senses some kind of evil in another world and it sent the other there to fight it" said Mick And the other began to think. It seemed logical enough. But what kind of evil could it be. Before he could think any further, the Prism began to spin. "Wow" Mick called out and backed away. After a second, Levi's Power Star flew out of the prism and Levi caught it. When Prisman stopped spinning, the same vision showed again. "It's the same vision that was shown when the others got their stars" Redbot said as he saw the same vision again. "But what kind of crystals are these?" Levi's Dad asked. As Mick looked at the crystals, he remembered something he had heard. "I think it's the element of harmony" he said but the other looked at him with confused looks. "I've only heard rumors and stories but the elements of harmony are six powerful crystals that exist in another dimension called Equestria. They are said to be powerful and used for good" Mick explained and the prism flew away. "Do you think Brody and the others have ended up in Equestria?" asked Levi and Mick said "If the prism showed the element of harmony then it must be so". But when Mick said that, a light appeared from the sky and surrounded Levi. "What" Levi said. "This is what happened to the others" Redbot said, starting to panic. "Listen Levi. If the prism sends you to Equestria, it's to defeat an evil. Once you've done that the prism will send you back" Mick said and Levi nodded before the light swallowed him whole. When Levi could see again, he was out in the wilderness. it didn't look like another dimension at first but then he saw a pegasus flying by. Back to the present "So that's how you came to Equestria" Brody said after hearing Levi's story. "Yeah, I tried to find you guys but without my Zord I had to travel by foot" Levi said scratching the back of his head. "Why didn't you take a train?" Rainbow asked and Levi replied "I had no idea who I could trust in this world so until I found Brody and the others I decided to lay low." "I guess that makes sense" Twilight said. "Coming to a world full of ponies can be quite an unusual experience" she said and Levi said "You can say that again". "Anyway, when I was near town I saw a bunch of Kudabots attacking so I decided to help" Levi said and the Main 6 were impressed. After a while, everypony came out and watched the rangers. "AJ" Braeburn called, rushing up to them. "Are you all okay?" he asked and Applejack replied "Yeah, we're okay. Thanks to our mysterious cowboy friend here" raising her hoof to Levi. With that Braeburn walked up to Levi and said "It's nice to finally meet our town's hero face to face. The name is Braeburn". Levi stepped forward and held out his hand and said "Howdy, name's Levi. Nice to meet you" and they shook hands/hooves. "On behalf of all of Appleloosa I want to thank you for saving us during the last attacks" Braeburn said but Levi said "It was no problem, helping others is what I do". Braeburn smiled happily and said "anyway, me and the town want to throw a party for the Power Rangers for saving us". When Pinkie heard the word party, she got excited and said "PARTY, I LOVE THE PARTY" and jumped all over town. Levi looked at her with confusion and said "Umm, Does she do that often?" but then Brody stepped forward and said "You'll get used to it". Then Brody turned to Braeburn and said "We would be honored to come" and the other agreed. "I guess after a tough battle it's worth a party" Twilight said and everyone cheered. Later, the town had a big party with all the residents. Pinkie Pie had help with the decorations so everything was set up quickly. Everyone had help with tables, music, food and everything else. When it had gotten late, the Rangers and the Main 6 had boarded the train heading for Ponyville. > Chapter 11: The Power of Fusion and an Unexpected Friend > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ripcon's boss had grown impatient and called Ripcon in to scold him. Ripcon had just arrived and was annoyed at being summoned. "Ripcon, You have gone behind my back and ordered Dreadwolf to attack without my approval" said Ripcon's boss with a lot of anger in his voice. "And not only that, You unleashed two Skullgators. If I need to remind you, you work for me. So if you don't want to be wiped out, I recommend you don't do it again" he said a Ripcon yelled back. "I've had enough of you and all your orders" Ripcon said and his boss stood up, not expecting to hear Ripcon yell. "You act so high and mighty but you're weak, You're too scared to face the rangers but I'm not" Ripcon said and snapped his fingers. As he did so a new creature came into the room It had big furry arms, Big horns and dark green legs. When Ripcon's boss saw it, he cried in shock. "Ripcon, What am I looking at?" He said and Ripcon replied with a grin on his face saying "This is Calmerior. A monster combined from pieces of BashHorn, Magilection and Dreadwolf. With this monster by my side I will defeat the Power Rangers and take all their Ninja Power Stars myself". But when Ripcon's boss heard it, he smiled evilly. "Ha, Do you think you can defeat the rangers with a monster combined from failed monsters. Pathetic" he said. "I could unleash Calmerior on you to show his strength. but I want you to see me with the power stars so you can bow before me" Ripcon said, getting ready to teleport himself and his monster away. "Goodbye, Ex Champ" he said and the two teleported away leaving Ripcon now the Ex boss alone. "You will regret your choice" he said, getting ready for his next move. Later in Ponyville Applejack had just taken a break from her chores at her family farm. Although she loves working on the farm, she needs to take a break sometime. "Phew, it's really hot today," she said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. But when she took a deep breath, she heard something. She listened and heard someone playing the guitar nearby. She decided to look for who was playing. The closer she got, the more obvious it became. Whoever played the music also sang. After a while she came to a clearing. There was nothing there but a log and Levi sitting on it with a guitar in his hand. She decided to walk over and greeted with a "Howdy there". When Levi heard that he turned to see Applejack standing there. "Oh, Hey Applejack, what are you doing here" he asked with a smile. "I could ask you the same thing, sugarcube. You happen to have a concert in the middle of my family's farm" Applejack said. "Oh sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. I was looking for a quiet place to play some guitar." Levi explained, holding up the guitar. "It's okay sugarcube. What are you playing?" she asked, sitting down next to him. "It's a song my dad wrote for me and Brody." Levi said but looked down at the ground afterwards. "It was after our mother…" he didn't finish the sentence but Applejack understood what he meant. "Sorry to hear that sugarcube, I understand how you feel" she said and that made Levi look up. "Do you?" He said and Applejack nodded. "I lost both my parents, I miss them so much." she said but lifted her hood. "But I have my siblings Applebloom and Big Mac, Granny Smith and my friends. As long as I have them, I have a lot of family" she said and that made Levi smile. "That sounds right, Our dad wrote this song to remind us that even though our mom wasn't with us, we were still family" Levi said and that made Applejack happy. "Do you want to hear it?" Levi asked her and she said "Sure" and then Levi started playing Brody was on a walk in town. He felt in need of a quiet moment with all that was happening. But when he did, he was attacked and the explosion sent everyone around running away. When Brody came up, he saw Ripcon a little way from him. "Ripcon" Brody said, glaring at him. "Today is finally the day I will end you Rat Bait" he said, drawing his swords. Brody raised his com and contacted the other. "Guys, Ripcon is here. I might need some help" he said but Ripcon just laughed. "Sorry but your friends will be out of the battle" he said rushing towards Brody with swords at the ready. "Ninja Spin!" Brody said, morphing and rushing towards Ripcon. It started to fight but the other rangers, the Main 6 and Starlight quickly arrived to help Brody. "Don't worry Bro we're here" Levi said running forward. "I won't allow that, Calmerior" He shouted and then the monster and a squad of Basherbots teleported between Brody and the other. "What in Tarnation" said Applejack as she saw the monster in front of them. "It's like all the monsters you've fought here in Equestria have combined into one monster" Twilight said. "It's going to take a bigger threat than a stitched up monster" Sarah said and then Levi took a step forward. "It's Morphin' Time! Power Star" Levi said, holding out their Star. "Lock In!" All five said, locking their stars into their Morphers. "Ready! Ninja Spin!" everyone said, morphing into their ranger forms. "Ninja Rangers, Fear No Danger" shouted all five and then the five rangers, the Main 6 and Starlight rushed and started fighting all the Basherbots and Calmerior. In the battle between Brody and Ripcon, it was very even. Brody tried to jump out of the way to attack from another angle but Ripcon followed him and prevented Brody from getting a breather. "Like I said Rat Bait. it's over for you" Ripcon said but Brody pushed back saying "Your mine doesn't seem that sharp because you must have forgotten that you've already lost several times". "Today will be different" said Ripcon and continued to attack. At the same time with the other they managed to defeat the Basherbots but when it came to Calmerior it was a different story. The Rangers tried to attack him but he punched the ground and created a shock wave that knocked them back. Starlight and Twilight tried to use their magic but he created a mirror shield. Ripcon looked at how the rangers and ponies struggled and said "Calmerior, enough games. Some of them all of your power". Calmerior turned to Ripcon and said "Yes Master" and turned back. Calmerior charged up an attack and created a dark red, a dark blue and a dark green sphere and combined them. "Bye bye. Fusion Beam" he shouted and fired a strong beam. Preston took out his Element Star and placed it in his sword, twisting it so the blue tip was sticking up. "Element Star: Ninja Water Attack" he shouted creating a watery shield but the attacks still came through and knocked them all down and made Preston drop his sword. When Brody saw his friends down, he got scared. "GUYS" he yelled. "It's over Rat Bait" Ripcon said, walking towards Brody. Brody didn't know how it was going to win. It seemed hopeless. But then Brody heard something that sounded like a motorcycle. It came closer and he also heard screams. As Ripcon got close, Brody saw what it was. It was a Mega Morph Cycle and the driver was "Mick?" he said as Mick approached. "AAh, This is the scariest thing I've ever done" Mick screamed in panic. When he was near Ripcon he shouted "Mega Morph Cycle, Plasma Blast" And then a plasma shot was fired from the cycle. "What" Ripcon said before he was hit and then Mick flew past him and stopped by Brody. "I never want to do that again" he said and stepped off. Brody rushed up to Mick and asked "Mick, How did you get here?". "Don't have time, you have to help the others. here, take this" he said handing Brody the Ninja Fusion Star. Brody looked at the star and then at Mick. "Thanks Mick, get to safety" he said and ran to the other. When he reached the second, he stood between his friends and Calmerior. "Stop, I won't let you hurt my friends" he said strongly. But Calmerior just looked at him and said "What do you think you can do about it. You're only a Ranger and I have the power of three monsters." Brody didn't react saying "The power of three monsters is no match for the power of six rangers" and held out the fusion star. When the other looked up and saw the star, the rangers were surprised. Brody then picked up Preston's sword from the ground and said "Time for you to face all our powers in one". Calmerior started charging up his attack again while Brody placed the Fusion Star in his sword and pressed the blue button on his own sword so it started to glow red and blue respectively. "Ninja Fusion Fury, Final attack" Brody said, spinning the star. "Fusion Beam" Calmerior called out and fired the beam. But when he did, three more swords appeared that glowed yellow, white, and pink. As the beam got closer, the three swords blocked the attack and Brody sent them straight at Calmerior. The swords landed on the ground like a triangle around him and they trapped him so he couldn't get away. Once he was pinned, Brody ran forward and began stabbing him multiple times with all five swords. Holding only one sword, he raised it above his head and shouted "Fusion Blades, Combine" and then all five swords combined and then Brody delivered the final cut and then Calmerior exploded. "Wooho, that was epic" Brody shouted and the other walked up to him. "That Was so Awesome" Rainbow Dash shouted and the other agreed. "Nice there bro." Levi said, patting Brody on the back. After a while Mick rushed to the other and said "That was fantastic". With that, everyone turned and everyone but Brody was shocked. The ponies to see a new human and the rangers to see Mick. "Mick?" Calvin said and then the rangers walked up to their friend who said "Hi everyone". "Mick, how can you be here" Sarah asked and Mick took out something more. "Ah, it was thanks to this," he said, showing off a dimensional transporter. The rangers were impressed that Mick had one but the ponies were very confused. Finally Twilight asked "Um, what's that?" But before anyone could answer, Ripcon stepped forward. "You're going to regret that shape shifter" he said and Mick yelled back and backed away. Ripcon took out his Gigantifier and pressed the blue button. "GIANTIFY" he shouted, magnifying Calmerior. "Calmerior, level the whole town" Ripcon shouted and teleported away. "Time to demolish everything" Calmerior growled. When the rangers saw it, it brought out their Zord Stars. "Zord Stars, Lock In!" All the rangers said placing their stars in their swords. "Activate" everyone said and activated them. "Ninja Spin!" shouted everyone, spinning the stars. With that came the seven Zrods and then they combined the two Megazords and then they activated their Ninja Super Steel Mode. "Come on, show me what you got," Calmerior said mockingly. With that the Megazords came forward and attacked but Calmerior blocked everything and attacked with his sharp claws. The Megazords were pushed back and Calmerior laughed. "HA this is too easy, it seems it was just a fluke before" Calmerior said. The rangers came up again and then the Ninja Steel Megazord rushed forward with the sword held high. "Ninja Steel Megazord, Master Slash" the five rangers shouted and launched an attack but Calmerior put up a guard and blocked the attack. "Huh, our attack didn't do anything, Levi you try" Preston said and the Bull Rider Megazord got ready for an attack. "Bull Rider Megazord, Rodeo Rapid Fire" he said and fired a flurry of shots but the shield blocked it as well. "What, Nothing works" Levi said in disbelief. "Time to finish you off, Fusion Wave" Calmerior said, sweeping his arms and unleashing an energy wave that knocked both Megazords down. "Time to demolish all of you" Calmerior said, moving closer. At the same time, the Main 6, Starlight and Mick looked on with worried looks. "The Rangers are in trouble" Starlight said. "We have to do something" Rainbow said but no one showed what it could do. "If only it could use that fusion star but big" Pinkie said and that made Mick light up. "Yeah, That's it," Mick said, catching the ponies' attention. Mick then contacted the rangers via his Ninjacom. "Guys, you have to combine your Megazords" he said, getting more of the ponies' attention. “Oh of course, good idea Mick" Brody said and took out the fusion star. "Um, Pardon me, but what do you mean by combining the Megazords?" Applejack asked, confused. "Oh trust me, you will love it." Mich said, looking expectantly at the Megazords. Brody held out the fusion star and said "Ninja Fusion Zord, combine!" and so he placed the star in the Master Blade. "Ninja Spin!" he said, spinning the star. When he did, both Megazords glowed and it blinded Mick, The Main 6, Starlight, and Calmerior. With the light, the two Megazords combined into one large Megazord. "Ninja Fusion Zord, ready!" Brody said once the combination was complete. When the others saw the Ninja Fusion Zord, they were shocked. "Okay, You were right. I love it" Rainbow said to Mick in a squeal of excitement. "It doesn't matter if you combine, you are doomed" said Calmerior and started rushing forward clawing at them but it had no effect. "Huh, did I forget to sharpen them or something" he said as the Fusion Zord raised his sword and slashed at him. The Fusion Zord continued to attack as Calmerior tried to block but the attack was too fast. When he managed to get distance, he tried to set up a cover. But when the rangers attacked it, it shattered. As it happened, the rangers' friends cheered them on. "Alright team, Time to wrap it up" Brody said and then everyone got ready. "Begin Final Attack, Ninja Spin!" Brody said and spun the star and got the Ninja Super Steel Blaster. "Ninja Super Steel Blaster, Energize!" he shouted, pointing it forward. While that was happening, the Fusion Zord charged up a huge amount of energy into the sword. "Ninja Fusion Zord Master Slash, Final Attack" all the rangers shouted and while Brody fired the blaster, the other rangers slashed first straight down and then from left to right. As they did so, the Fusion Zord slashed first straight down and sent out a gold energy slash and then from left to right with a blue energy slash. Calmerior tried to block but it was too powerful and so Calmerior began to explode. "AAH, I'M SPLIT FOREVER" He screamed before exploding. Everyone started cheering and Brody said "Show over, Ninjas win". When the rangers had defeated Calmerior, it ran to its friends and powered down. "Alright let's try the introduction again" Brody said and everyone held their nerve and Brody turned to the ponies. "Girls meet our good friend Mick" Brody said, holding his hand out to Mick. Then he turned to Mick and said "Mick, this is Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer." "Nice to meet you" Mick said with a wave. "It's nice to meet you Mick" Twilight said and then the others greeted as well. "If it's not a problem. How could you get here?" Twilight asked but Mick waved his hand and said "It's no problem Miss Sparkle". "Please call me Twilight" Twilight said and then Mick nodded. "Well, after Levi was sent here we were trying to figure out a way to get you guys home. So me, Redbot and Dane went to get Billy's help" Mick explained and all the rangers were stunned at the name. "Billy, as in Billy Cranston, the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger" Sarah called out and Mick nodded. When Twilight heard about a new ranger she knew she would ask about it. "Anyway, When we told us what happened he pulled out a Transportal Device and managed to lock in the coordinates to Equestria" Mick explained and everyone was impressed. "That's awesome" Twilight said happily but Mick said "Well, Not so awesome. When using the Transportal Device to travel between Ranger dimensions it destabilizes the Morphin' Grid a bit. But since Equestria's energy fields are different compared to the Morphin' Grids, it takes more energy to open a portal" Mick explained and Rainbow raised her hoof. "And that means?" she asked and Twilight said "That means using that device to travel between Earth and Equestria can't be done multiple times" and Mick nodded at what Twilight said. "Since the device can't be used multiple times, we'll have to wait until your mission here is done before we go home," Mick said, turning to the rangers. "It's okay" Brody said, stepping forward. "We had already decided to stay here until we defeat Ripcon and that's what we're going to do" he said and the other rangers agreed. While the heroes were talking, Ripcon had prepared a new weapon that would finish off the rangers. > Chapter 12: Bones of the Shadows and the Lion's Flame > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a calm day with a clear sky. Perfect for Applejack had a lot of chores to do. She always thought it was better to do work when the weather was wonderful. "Ahh, nothing beats a day's work with a clear sky" Applejack said, looking up at the sky. After all the attacks and monsters, she thought it was a good idea to do something familiar. "Hello there Element of Honesty" She heard a voice behind her say. But before she could turn around, she was blinded by a dark purple light. Fluttershy was in her cottage outside of town. She had many animals to take care of but she didn't care if it was hard. But then she noticed that it started to behave oddly. The small animals got scared while the more aggressive ones got scared and looked behind her. When Flutteshy turned around, she saw what it was and was terrified. "Say goodbye to your animals, Element of Kindness" said whoever was behind her and then Fluttershy was blinded by a dark purple light. When Pinkie had met a new pony, she planned all the parties that were to come. And it made no difference when that pony was a human. When Mick had arrived, she showed that she would plan many parties for him. Fortunately, her party cave was the perfect place to plan the party. But just then her pinkie sense kicked in and she quickly turned around. "You have planned your last party, Element of Laughter" said a voice, catching Pinkie in the dark purple light. "Aww, Fun killer" Pinkie said in a condescending tone. Rarity had a talent for designing clothes, especially when it was for friends. Mick was nice but had no fashion sense. When she saw his clothes, she felt compelled to make new clothes for him. He told her it wasn't necessary but Rarity wouldn't take no for an answer. She felt satisfied with the clothes she had made but she was missing just one detail so she went into another room to get it. but when she opened the door, she screamed. "Your designer days are over, Element of Generosity" the voice said, trapping her in the same dark purple light. If there was one thing that Rainbow and Sarah had in common, it was that they liked things to go fast. So when Mick had brought a Mega Morph Cycle with him, they were meant to race. Sarah did her best but Rainbow managed to win. "Ha, said so. No one is faster than me" she said boastfully. "Come on, rematch" Sarah demanded and it got ready for another race. "Your race is over, Element of Loyalty and Pink Ranger" said the voice and when they turned they saw who it was. "Ripcon" Sarah called out. "What do you want?" Rainbow shouted angrily. "You'll soon see," Ripcon said and fired the Light again and they both disappeared. Preston was with Starlight and Twilight who had agreed to teach him some more advanced Equestria magic. Since Twilight didn't know how Preston's magic worked, they went to a meadow to be safe. But when it came down to it, Ripcon teleported behind them and said "It's your turn now, Element of Magic and Blue Ranger" and hit all three with the same light he used on the other. When it noticed the attack, it was too late and they disappeared. When it regained its sight, they saw that it was in a cage, but it was made of bones. "Twilight" Applejack called. When the three turned they saw the other five and Sarah. "Girls, are you okay?" Twilight said, walking towards them. "Other than being in this dreadful cage, we're fine" Rarity said but then Ripcon walked over to the cage. "You won't feel that for a long time," Ripcon said, drawing one of his swords along the bars. "You can't keep us here forever Ripcon" Preston said, stepping forward. "Oh I can, this cage is specially made to keep your magic from coming out and to keep you two from morphing" Ripcon explained with an evil grin on his face. "When the others come you will regret it" Rainbow said trying to calm Fluttershy down. "I wouldn't count on that. Soon you will have three more guests to keep you company." Ripcon said and started walking away. "It will never…" Starlight stood up and listened to Ripcon's words again and said "Wait, Tre?". With that Ripcon turned around and said "That's right. I'll deal with you guys later. But Rat Bait has lived a day too long". And with that, Ripcon teleported away. "He's after Brody, we need to warn the other" Sarah said, trying to contact the other but her Ninjacom was getting nowhere. There was nothing they could do but wait. Later in Ponyville Brody just arrived at the gates of Twilight Castle. Calvin, Hayley, Levi and Mick were already there and all had worried looks on their faces. "Any luck?" Brody asked but everyone shook their heads. "Sorry but I have no clue." Mick said and everyone got worried. "I don't understand, What can they be?" Calvin asked, referencing the Main 6, Starlight and Shara and Preston. "Could something have happened?" Hayley asked and then Levi turned to her and said "Something must have happened. Otherwise Shara and Preston would have answered on their Ninjacoms". Something had clearly happened to their friends. But the problem was they didn't know what it was. Before he could think any further, several Basherbots appeared and stood in battle formation. The rangers got ready to fight and brought out their stars. Mick decided to go in so he wasn't out of the way. "Looks like we now know who happened to the others" Calvin said and the other agreed. "Let's get this over with quickly so we can find the other one" Brody said, pulling out his Morpher. "It's Morphin' Time! Power Star" Brody said, holding out their Star. "Lock In!" All four said, locking their stars into their Morphers. "Ready! Ninja Spin!" everyone said, morphing into their ranger forms. The Rangers were already starting to rush forward and Mick was watching inside the castle. When Spike heard the sound he came running. "Mick, what's going on" Spike asked and Mick said "Basherbots, outside. The rangers are handling it". They both started to look up to see the battle so they didn't notice a certain monster had teleported behind them. "I told you you'd regret it shape shifter" Said Ripcon and it made them both jump and turn. "R...Ripcon" Mick screamed, trembling. Ripcon wasted no time but caught both of them in the same dark purple light and then they disappeared. When both were gone Ripcon teleported outside and locked his sights on both Calvin and Hayley. "They just keep coming" Calvin said and proceeded to attack all the Basherbots. "Why are they all so stubborn" Hayley said, kicking down three bots. "Your luck is over yellow and white" Ripcon said charging up an attack. As Calvin and Hayley turned around, Ripcon shouted "Double Sword Doom Strike" and then he did his signature move. Calvin and Hayley didn't have time to dodge or block so were hit by the attacks. The hit was so strong that they demorphed. When both hit the ground, Ripcon charged up the same light again. When the attack hit, Brody and Levi's Attention turned to their friends and Ripcon. When the light hit the two non-morph rangers, they both disappeared. "Calvin, Hayley" Brody called as his friends disappeared. "Hey, what have you done with them" Levi shouted and then ran towards him. Brody tried to run towards Ripcon as well but all the Basherbots surrounded him. "Don't worry Gold boy, you will join them soon" Ripcon said and started to attack Levi. They both attacked with quick sword slashes while Brody was busy with all the Basherbots. After a few more hits Levi jumped away saying "Rockstorm Blast" and fired several shots but Ripcon managed to block them all. "Come on gold, you can do better." Ripcon said in a mocking tone. "If you ask for it, you shall have it," Levi said, taking out his power star. "Power Star, Lock In" he said, placing the star into the Rockstorm Guitar. "Ninja Spin" he said, spinning the star. "That's right, Time to get serious" Ripcon said, charging energy into his swords. "Ninja Star Morph" Levi shouted and morphed into a larger version of his star and spun towards Ripcon who Raised the swords above his head. "Double Sword Doom Cross" Ripcon shouted and slashed with his sword in an X and aimed it straight at Levi. When the two attacks met, it was so powerful that Levi was knocked back. And when Levi hit the marks he was so injured he had to demorph. When Ripcon had put the swords back in their saya he walked towards him. Brody had managed to defeat all the Basherbots and was exhausted. But he rushed as fast as he could to his brother but Ripcon grabbed Levi by the collar of his shirt. "Leave him alone" Brody threatened but Ripcon didn't care. "If you want your brother and your friends back then do as I say Rat Bait" Ripcon said and Brody had no choice but to listen. "Meet me in the quarry north of here. Defeat me and your friends can go. If you don't come, I'll finish them all off" Ripcon said before teleporting himself and Levi away. Brody demorphed and fell to his knees. But there was no time to rest. He needed to hurry. "I must hurry" he said and took out the Mega Morph Cycle Star. "Mega Morph Cycle Star, Rev Up!" he shouted and then the star transformed into the Mega Morph Cycle. Brody jumped on it and started driving north towards the quarry. Later in the cage The Main 6, Starlight, Spike, Mick and the four rangers tried different ways to get out of the cage but so far nothing had worked. When Ripcon teleported in, all eyes turned to Levi. "Levi" Hayley called out. When Ripcon had dragged Levi to the cage he dragged him to the ground and hit him with the same light and put him in the cage. "Are you okay?" Sarah asked, helping Levi up. "Urgh, I'm fine" Levi said standing up. "It won't be like that much longer," Ripcon said, teleporting the entire cage away. When the heroes could see where they were, they saw that it was at the top of a quarry. "You should count yourselves lucky rangers" Ripcon said walking towards them. "You will get front row seats to the annihilation of your leader" he said with an evil grin. "You can't beat Brody by yourself" Calvin said but Ripcon just grinned more. "Unfortunately for you, I've got myself some new tricks that Rat Bait can't handle," he said, looking down to the opening of the quarry. "And if you look at that, it's starting" Ripcon said as he saw Brody walking. "Brody" all his friends called out. Brody looked up at them and then at Ripcon in anger. "Time to end this Ripcon" Brody said, drawing his sword. "You took the words out of my mouth, Rat Bait" Ripcon said and he jumped down to Brody. They stared at each other and didn't move. Ripcon pulled out his swords while Brody pulled out his Morpher with his Power Star in it. They waited for a moment without taking their eyes off each other. Then they rushed towards each other and as they ran Brody shouted "Ninja Spin!" and morphed into his ranger mode. They started attacking with their swords. It started with both being equal in strength. And after a couple hits with the swords, Ripcon said "You're powerful Rat Bait, I can give you that" and took out his Gigantifier. "But now it's time to get serious" Ripcon said, pressing the red button. The others had been watching the fight from the cage and saw what Ripcon was doing. "Will he use Skullgators now?" Twilight said but then Mick said "If I may, I think Ripcon has something else in store" and then all eyes turned towards Mick and towards the battle. Brody has the glaring lock straight at Ripcon and braced himself for what was going to happen thinking "What is he going to do?". Ripcon eyed Brody and was ready to reveal his new power. "Time for some Skull Power" Ripcon said, pointing the Gigantifier at his chest and firing it. The blast sent a mass of energy into Ripcon's body and he was surrounded by dark purple energy. It continued to surround him and formed into a form of armor. His arms were made of bone plates, his hands now had sharp claws, over his chest was a shield that looked like a Skullgator's head and on his back was a large Skullgator Sword. "Alright Rat Bait. Let's see if you can handle all this" He said and he raised the sword. Brody and Ripcon ran towards each other and started fighting again. But this time, Ripcon was unaffected by Brody's attack. Brody slashed Ripcon several times but it just bounced off the armor and Ripcon just laughed. When it was Ripcon's turn to attack, he clawed at Brody with his new claws, causing Brody to be knocked back. Brody was shocked at the power Ripcon now had. He decided to try and keep his distance so he brought out his Ninja Battle Morpher. "Ninja Battle Morpher, Bow Mode" he shouted and placed his power star inside. “Hyper Arrow Blast” he shouted and fired several arrows. Ripcon saw it and shouted "Pathetic, Shadow bone Blast" And raised the sword sending out several dark purple bones spinning at high speed. The bones flew and knocked down all the arrows and hit Brody who tried to block as many as possible. "This is too much fun, you really entertain me Rat Bait" Ripcon said laughing and Brody glared at him. Ripcon then charged energy into the sword and raised it. As it started to glow dark purple, Ripcon said "When you're all gone, I'll have the honor of rubbing it into Galvanax's face". When Brody heard where Ripcon said he gasped "Galvanax?!" Ripcon looked at Brody and said "You don't have to worry about it any more. Because your Ranger life is over" and began a final attack. "Shadowbone, Dark Strike" Ripcon shouted, swinging the sword diagonally. When he did, he sent a large dark purple energy wave straight at Brody. He tried to block the attacks with his Element Star's earth attack, but it only weakened the hit a bit and Brody was still hit. The attack left a mass of smoke and dust where Brody stood. When it clanged up, Brody was on one knee with his helmet knocked off his head and split open. When Ripcon saw that Brody made it, he became angry and said "Looks like you're tougher than I give you credit for, Rat Bait. But you're still doomed". Brody struggled to stand up. He was injured and Ripcon's powers are stronger than ever. "What am I going to do, Can I even win? '' though Brody, starting to lose hope of winning. "Brody, Don't give up" Twilight shouted and Brody looked at his friends. Everyone cheered him on and told him not to give up. "Of course, I have all my friends here" he thought and stood up. "You should just give up Rat Bait. You can't win on your own" Ripcon said. "No, I'm not alone," Brody said, pointing to the cage. "All my friends, Both new and old, have my back. With their support I can't lose" Brody said confidently and his friends cheered at what he said. "If you really believe that, you're going to be very disappointed" Ripcon said, driving the Skullgator Sword into the ground and drawing out his usual katanas. "Time to end this with a classic" he said charging up an attack. Brody raised his sword and prepared for what was to come. "IT'S OVER, DOUBLE SWORD DOOM STRIKE" Ripcon shouted and did his signature attack. "I will not back down, I will not give up, I will fight to the end" Brody said and raised his sword. As the attack came close Brody swung his sword but as he did it started to glow red. Brody used all the strength he had and managed to interrupt the attacks and it made Ripcon gasp. "What" Ripcon said, frowning. Brody looked down and noticed something on his left arm. Looking closer, he saw that it was the Lion Fire Morpher. When Brody saw it he smiled and turned to Ripcon and said "Sorry Ripcon. But it's time to take my powers to the next level" and then he placed a finger on the star. "Lion Fire! Ninja Spin!" Brody said, spinning the star and it started to shine and sparkle. With it came blazing-hot flames and it formed a red and golden armor. Then his sword flew into a storage slot on his back and finally Brody's help arrived but with a silver lion on top that roared. "Out Of The Fire And Into The Fight, Lion Fire Red!" Brody shouted and the transformation was complete. "NO" Ripcon shouted when he saw the armor but the other rangers and Mick cheered when Brody was armor up. "What the hay is that" Rainbow Dash shouted in a cheery voice. "That's the Lion Fire Armor. An armor from the Lion Galaxy. When Brody wears it he gets a huge power boost" Mick explained and all the ponies looked at Brody with excited looks. "Time for you to feel the Lion Fire" Brody said confidently and Ripcon looked at him with hatred. "Lion Fire Sprint" Brody said, rushing towards Ripcon and punching him. Ripcon was caught off guard by the force of the blow. Brody continued to deliver several blows and Ripcon tried to attack with his swords but Brody managed to dodge each slash. After a while Ripcon jumped away and made his way to the Skullgator Sword saying "Enough of this, Time to destroy you" and raised the sword. "Shadow bone Blast" he shouted and fired several bones. "That move won't work twice," Brody said, putting his hand on the star. "Lion Fire Rapid Blast" Shouted and sent out a storm of fireballs at the bones. When the fireballs and the bones collided, they all exploded. "No, this can't happen," Ripcon said when he realized he might lose a customer. "I won't lose now" He yelled angrily and charged up the sword for one last attack. "Time to end this, Ripcon" Brody said, drawing his sword. "Lion Fire Armor Star, lock in!" he said, taking the star from his arm and placing it in the sword. "Ninja Spin!" he said, spinning the star. "Lion Fire Flame Strike" Brody shouted and then his sword grew much longer and was covered in fire. "Shadowbone, Dark Strike" Ripcon shouted and sent out a new energy wave. "Final Attack" Brody shouted and raised his sword and slashed straight down. When Brody's sword hit the wave it split in two and it hit Ripcon hard creating an explosion. When it cleared up, Ripcon was on his knees and back to his usual self. Except his horn was broken. "NO, My Horn!" He shouted as he noticed his horn. "You're going to regret that, Rat Bait" Ripcon said furiously, taking out the Gigantifier and pressing the blue button. "Time for one last chance. GIANTIFY" he said and shot himself in the arm and began to grow into a giant. "Let's get this over with" Ripcon said, fully grown. Brody looked up at Ripcon but then he saw the prism flying in and ending up in front of him. It began to spin at full speed and ejected the Lion Fire Zord Star before flying off again. "Okay Ripcon" Brody shouted, glaring at Ripcon. "You want to end this. Then let's end it" He shouted. "Lion Fire Zord Star, Lock In" he said, placing the star into the sword. "Ninja Spin!" he said, spinning the star. "Lion Fire Zord, out of the shadows!" Brody shouted and with that came a flying spaceship in the shape of a red and gold lion roaring. "Wow, Awesome" Rainbow shouted as she saw the Lion Fire Zord. "I have to agree with you on that Rainbow" Applejack said and everyone agreed. Brody placed his finger on the star and said "Lion Fire Megazord, energize! Ninja Spin!" and spun the star. With that, the Zord began a transformation. It started by standing up on its hind legs and turning its arms so it was horizontal. Then the lion's head moved to the chest and then there was a more disturbing version of the Zord star on top. Finally the lion opened its mouth and showed Brody sitting in the middle. "Lion Fire Megazord, ready!" he shouted and the formation was complete and the Megazord held two large stars. The Megazord and Ripcon went at each other and began exchanging blows. After a while Brody managed to push Ripcon back and that made Ripcon furious. "I will never lose to you, Rat Bait" Ripcon said, raising his swords above his head. Levi looked at Ripcon and remembered how he used the same attack before. "Brody, be careful" Levi thought. "Double Sword Doom Cross" He shouted and slashed a cross. "Lion Fire Spin Strike" Brody shouted and then the Megazord combined the two stars into a large shuriken and chucked it straight at Ripcon. When the attacks hit each other the cross shattered and Ripcon was hit hard and stumbled back. "What" Ripcon called out when his attack did nothing. "Time for you to say goodbye" Brody said and then the Megazord returned to its Zord form and Brody stood on top of it. When the Zord charged up energy, it became dark and gloomy. "Wow what's going on" Pinkie asked as it got dark. "Looks like the Zord is drawing energy from the atmosphere for one last strike" Twilight said as she observed her surroundings. "You're right and just wait until the attacks are unleashed." Sarah said. Brody charged up the Zord's energy in his sword and then the Zord drove straight at Ripcon "Lion Fire Slash, Final Attack" Brody shouted and did a horizontal slash and the Zord transformed into the Megazord again. "No, NO. Not Again" Ripcon yelled and fell forward and Exploded. When Ripcon exploded the cage started to glow and then it disappeared and everyone was now free and cheering for Brody. "Show over, Ninjas win" Brody said and the Megazord struck a pose. Meanwhile in evil lair Galvanax looked at his monitor and saw Ripcon's destruction. "I told you you would regret your choice, traitor" he said and turned to see a large stone of sparkling metal alloy on a lab table. "It is time to get my long awaited vengeance on you Red Ranger" Han said and began melting the metal into a new form. > Chapter 13: The Harmony of Steel against the Galaxy Champion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Galvanax entered the room and looked at a statue of a dragon-like monster made of the same shiny metal alloy. "Perfect, With a body made of Ninja Steel, Irongon will be indestructible" Galvanax said and took out a crystal. It was dark as night and the shape of a star. "And with this crystal from King Sombra's regime, Irongon will have more power than any ranger" He said, placing the crystal in his chest. When the crystal was in place, it began to shine. After a while, the eyes began to glow purple and then Irongon came to life. "I am ready, Master" Irongon said, bowing to Galvanax. "Perfect. Get up, Irongon." Galvanax said and Irongon stood up. "You will be the key to my victory over the Ninja Steel Power Rangers" Galvanax said and laughed evilly. Later in Ponyville Brody was outside Twilight's castle and got into a fighting position. He had gone through the same moves several times after the fight with Ripcon. Although Brody won, Ripcon had the upper hand several times. If it weren't for the Lion Fire Armor, Ripcon would have mopped the floor with him. Brody kept thinking back to when they had come back to Ponyville after the battle. "What" all the rangers had shouted upon hearing that Galvanax was alive. And when the ponies had seen how they had reacted, it was no surprise that the next question was "Who is Galvanax?". Twilight had already heard Brody's story about Galvanax so she explained how he was the first leader of the Galaxy Warriors and how he was the one who had captured Brody when he was a child and held him and Mick as prisoners. "Oh my, that sounds awful" Fluttershy had said and the other had agreed. But the question that still remained was what they were going to do. Galvanax could be anywhere in Equestria and even if they managed to find him, they still had to defeat him. "We need to inform Princess Celestia about this" Twilight had said and after she sent a letter to the princess we were met with her and her younger sister Princess Luna. After a long discussion they had decided to increase the amount of guards and patrols around all of Equestria. It had also been agreed that the Main 6 would retrieve the elements of harmony as soon as any information from Galvanax appeared. "You're training really hard," Twilight said walking over to Brody. Brody relaxed and turned to Twilight who walked towards her with a smile. "Gotta be on my toes, who knows when Galvanax strikes" Brody said. "True. but you seem more stressed than the others" Twilight said and that got Brody thinking. He was the ranger who had trained the most. The other also trained hard but he had done it more than usual. "Worried about Galvanax?" Twilight asked and Brody lowered his head. "I guess there's no point in denying" Brody said, giving a weak smile. Brody sat down and Twilight took a seat next to him and then she turned to him and said "Do you want to talk about it?". Brody took a few seconds to answer. "I'm just worried. what if I don't have as much luck as before" Brodu said looking down. Twilight turned her head and said "You mean with Ripcon?" and Brody nodded in response. "But you were incredible, you defeated Ripcon no matter how strong he was all by yourself." she said, smiling proudly. "It was only because I managed to get the Lion Fire Armor in time. If that didn't happen I would have been Destroyed" Brody said putting his head between his legs. "And Galvanax is way tougher. how can I even defeat him" he said and Twilight looked at Brody with concern. "You will not defeat Galvanax" twilight said strongly. Brody was a little shocked at what Twilight said and turned to her. But what he was met with was a smiling pony. "Because we will. You, Me and our friends" she said and that made Brody smile a little. But at that moment, Brody's Ninjacom went off and he answered. "Brody we've picked up a strange energy pulse in the quarry, maybe it's Galvanax" said Mick over the com. "We're on our way Mick" Brody said standing up. "Ready Twilight" Brody asked and she stood up and said "Of course" She said and then they both left. Our heroes have arrived at the quarry. The Rangers held their swords and took the lead. Then it was the Main 6 who wore the elements of harmony and stood together. And behind the group was Starlight keeping an eye out from behind in case they were ambushed. When it got further in, several beams of yellow light emerged. As it faded, the heroes saw that it was surrounded by Kudabots and Basherbots. "Well Well Well, If it's not the Power Rangers and the Elements of Harmony" an unfamiliar voice was heard. When the heroes looked where the voice was, they saw Irongon. "And who are you supposed to be, Tin Can" Rainbow said angrily and everyone took battle stances. "The name is Irongon" The monster introduced himself and took a couple of steps forward. "Save it. We know what you and Galvanax want. You will never get the power stars" Brody said forcefully. With that, Irongon gave an evil grin. "Oh red, never is just a long time. But I don't have time to wait" he said, snapping his fingers so all the Kudabots and Basherbots got ready. Brody turned and looked at the other and said "Are you ready" and everyone, Rangers and ponies alike nodded and with that Brody took a step forward. "It's Morphin' Time! Power Star" Brody said and all six held out their stars. "Lock In" All six said, locking their stars into their Morphers. "Ready! Ninja Spin!" Everyone called out and morphed into their ranger forms. And with that, everyone gave their roll call. "Power of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Red!" "Stealth of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Blue!" "Strength of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Yellow!" "Spirit of the Ninja! Ninja Steel White!" "Speed of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Pink!" "Rhythm of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Gold!" "Power Rangers" they all shouted and spun around and shouted again. "NINJA STEEL" "Ninja Rangers, Fear No Danger" Shouted all the Rangers and the battle broke out. Both sides battled each other with the ponies taking on the bots. At the same time, the rangers attacked Irongon with their swords. But Irongon managed to dodge the attacks and teasingly said "Come on, Are you even trying?". "Alright, let's see if he likes this," Sarah said, pulling out her blaster. "Ninja Blaster, power up" she said, placing her power star in the blaster. "Ninja Blaster, Whiplash" she called out and fired a pink whip at Irongon. But when it hit him, the attack bounced off while some energy was absorbed. "What, it didn't work" Sarah yelled out. All the rangers were confused why nothing happened. "Are you trying to tickle me pink? I barely felt it," Irongon teased. "Alright let's try this" Calvin said, taking out his Battle Morpher and putting it into Blade Mode and placing his star into it. “Battle Morpher, Blade Mode, Hyper Blade Slash” He shouted and stabbed Irongon several times. But Irongon took no damage and with each hit he absorbed energy. "Let me try" Hayley said doing the same thing but in Claw Mode. "Battle Morpher, Blade Mode, Hyper Claw Shred" she shouted and clawed at Irongon but the same thing happened.  "Okay, My turn" Irongon said and held out his hand and fired a dark purple beam that knocked back all six of them. "Preston, come along. we're doing a double attack" Levi said and took out the Storm Star. "Okay" Preston said and took out his power star. Both placed the stars in their swords with the Storm Star in Tornado mode. Both spun the stars and Levi said "Ninja Tornado Attack" and swung his sword, lifting Irongon into the air. "Blue Tornado Strike" Preston said and spun like a tornado and flew into the air with Levi. Both slashed at Irongon but he caught both of them and absorbed more energy. "You guys are pathetic" Irongon said, throwing Levi and Preston to the ground. "Oh yeah, Ninja Star Morph" Brody called out and unleashed an attack on Irongon. But he caught the attack with his hands and absorbed the energy from the attack. "This is laughable, you have no power. How could so many fall for you?" Irongon said, parrying the attack and knocking Brody into the others. "This is not good" Brody said as he got up. While that was happening, the ponies had sensed what was happening. "I'll take care of the tin cans, you go help them" Starlight said and Twilight turned around. "But Starlight" Twilight tried to protest, but then she saw the confidence in Starlight's eyes. "Okay, come on girls." Twilight said and then the main 6 rushed to help the Rangers. "Are you guys okay?" Fluttershy asked when they got there. "Urg, we're fine. but our attacks don't work on him" Brody said, glaring at Irongon. "Don't worry, I'll fix it" Rainbow said, rushing forward to punch Irongon. But he ducked and grabbed Rainbow by the tail. Without warning, Irongon threw her to the others. "So how did that work out for you huh" Applejack said with some sarcasm in her voice. "We can't just rush in. we need a plan" Twilight said but then Sarah said "But none of our attacks do anything against him." "Then we use the elements and rainbow lasers him" Pinkie said happily. "I think we should use the Lion Fire Armor instead" Levi said but then Brody got an idea. "How about we try both" he said, catching everyone's attention. "If we combine the power of the elements with the power of the Lion Fire Armor it might be powerful enough" Brody explained and it made everyone shine. "That might work" Twilight said and then Rainbow said "Well what are we waiting for. let's take him". With that Sarah said "We're trying to hold him down so you can attack". With that, Sarah, Preston, Calvin, and Hayley took out their Element Stars and placed them in their swords. "Levi, take this," Brody said, handing Levi his Element Star. "Thanks bro" Levi said, placing the star in his sword. The five rushed towards Irongon and twisted the stars so that the green tip stood up. It ran around Irongon and surrounded him. “Element Star, Ninja Forest Attack” all five shouted and spun the stars and sent out vines that bound up Irongon. "This won't last long" Irongon shouted, trying to break free. "Brody, Girls. Hurry" Levi called and then Brody said "Okay now we do" and the Mein 6 nodded. "Lion Fire! Ninja Spin!" Brody said, spinning the Lion Fire Star and activating the Lion Fire Armor. "Out Of The Fire And Into The Fight, Lion Fire Red!" Brody shouted with the transformation complete. "Lion Fire Armor Star, lock in!" he said, placing the star in his sword. "Alright girls, here we go" Twilight said and then they activated the elements and began to levitate into the air. It focused on Brody's sword and then the element began to glow brighter. "NINJA SPIN" Brody shouted and spun the star. As the sword began to extend, the elements sent their power to the sword so it began to burn with a rainbow colored fire. "Lion Fire Harmoni Strike, Final Attack" Brody said, rushing towards Irongon and slashing him diagonally. When Brody landed behind him, it seemed like the attack didn't work. "Oh Come On!" Said Rainbow, irritated but just then Irongon collapsed and split into several pieces. "That works" she said and then everyone headed towards Irongon's remains. "That… was new" Hayley said worriedly looking at what was left of the monsters they had just beaten. Sarah picked up a piece of the metal and said "is it just me or does this metal look familiar" and when everyone looked at the metal a crystal was seen glowing purple. "What's that?" Twilight asked. But just then the crystal flew up into the air and landed on a rock. "It is the key to your annihilation" said a dark voice and then the crystal landed in the hand of a monster. They wore dark gold and brown armor, blue skin, a large golden helmet, and red eyes. When the rangers looked towards the monster, they saw that it was the champion of the Galaxy Warriors, Galvanax. "Galvanax" Brody grunted as he saw Galvanax. "Nice to see you red ranger, but now it's time for my revenge. With this" Galvanax said, holding out the crystal. "What is a rock supposed to do" Rainbow said mockingly. "This crystal contains all the power of the six Power Stars and the Elements of Harmony" Galvanax said proudly, making everyone gasp. "Irongon was created to absorb all of your powers," Irongon explained and then Sarah came up with something. "Now I see, this is no ordinary metal. It's Ninja Steel" she said and it made all the rangers gasp. "What is ninja steel?" Rainbow dash asked and Twilight replied "It's the same material their Power Stars are made of". "Using Ninja Steel Irongon was able to take all your attacks and absorb them into a crystal, And with that I now have the power that i need" Galvanax said, holding the crystal up high. But at that moment he opened his mouth and swallowed the crystal. Everyone was shocked that he ate the crystal but when he did he started glowing dark purple and started laughing saying "It's time to feel the power of a Galaxy Warriors Champion" With that, he used his Naginata and fired a large laser, knocking down all the heroes. And the energy wave was so strong it knocked down all the bots still fighting Starlight. When she saw that her friends were in trouble, she rushed towards them and teleported them all away. "HaHaHa, You can run, But not hide." Galvanax said, laughing evilly. Our heroes had taken cover behind a couple of rocks a bit away. "Why did you do that?" Rainbow said angrily that Starlight teleported them away from the battle. "You'd be crushed if you stayed" Starlight protested and Levi stepped in between. "Stop arguing. Starlight did the right thing" he said, turning to Rainbow. "We can't just run away and give up" Rainbow said but then Sarah stepped forward and said "We're not giving up, but we have to come up with a plan." "Exactly. Galvanax has the power of the Elements of Harmony and our Power Stars. we need more power" Calvin said. But then the Ninja Nexus Prism flew up to the heroes and they looked at it. "The Nexus Prism? What does this one do?" Twilight asked, but then the prism showed a vision. "That's the same vision I saw after I got my Power Star" Brody said and the other said the same thing. "But what can it mean?" Preston asked. Just then, both The Power Stars and the Elements began to glow. "I think I understand" Brody said and everyone turned to him. "We have to combine our Power Stars with the Elements" Brody said and everyone was surprised. "Maybe that could work" Twilight said, turning to the other. "We need to try" she said and everyone nodded. The Rangers threw their stars into the prism. When they were inside, the prism began to spin at full speed. Then the elements began to glow more and more and so first Twilight sent a beam of her Element's energy into the prism with the second soon after. After a while the stars were shot out but the prism continued to spin. After a while, six new stars flew out. They had the same color as the rangers but it had its unique symbol in the middle. For Brody it was a purple six pointed star, Preston had a red lightning bolt, Calvin had a pink butterfly, Hayley had a dark purple diamond, Sarah had a light blue balloon and finally Levi had an orange apple. "Whoa, what's that" Pinkie blurted out as she saw the stars. "Looks like we got new um... Harmony Stars" Sarah said and everyone looked at the new stars and were sure it could win. But then someone shot at the stone and there was dust everywhere. When it cleared, Galvanax stood there with his weapon ready. "Stop hiding, are you ready to face your doom" said Galvanax but the rangers stepped forward and waved their friends to step aside. "The only one who will meet his doom is you Galvanax" Brody said, drawing his sword as the others did the same. "Harmony Stars" Brody shouted and everyone held out their new stars. "Lock In" everyone shouted and placed the stars in their swords. "NINJA SPIN" Shouted all six and spun the stars. Everyone was enveloped in a rainbow colored light and began a new transformation. It formed a new armor that reminded them of their early Ninja Master Mode. But instead of the star symbol in the middle, it had the Elements that they had on the Stars. "Ninja Steel Red Ranger, Element of Magic" Brody said and Twilight looked at him impressed. "Ninja Steel Blue Ranger, Element of Loyalty" Preston said and Rainbow checked excitedly. "Ninja Steel Yellow Ranger, Element of Kindness" Calvin said and Fluttershy looked on impressed. "Ninja Steel White Ranger, Element of Generosity" Hayley said and Rarity looked on in amazement at their new appearance. "Ninja Steel Pink Ranger, Element of Laughter" Sarah said and Pinkie got so excited she shook a little. "Ninja Steel Gold Ranger, Element of Honesty" Levi said and Applejack looked on proudly. "Ninja Steel" Brody said and everyone spun around and struck a pose saying "Harmony Mode" Their friends looked on in amazement while Galvanax seemed unimpressed. "Let's see if you can handle this" Brody said and all the rangers rushed forward. "Your funeral" Galvanax said rushing forward and so the final battle began. They rushed at each other and while the rangers attacked with their swords, Galvanax attacked with his Naginata. It wasn't much of a fight, but the rangers soon got the upper hand and managed to beat him back. "How, I have more power than any of you" Galvanax said wondering how his enemies could gain so much power. "Ever heard of harmony power" Brody said and that made Galvanax look up. "We now have the power of both our power stars and the elements of harmony" Levi said but Galvanax retorted. "Okay, now I see. But now we're the same" Galvanax said but then Sarah said "You may have absorbed our powers. But don't think for a second that we're the same". "We are the real bearers of our Power Stars" Calvin said and then Hayley said "And Twilight and the others are the bearers of the Element of Harmony". "And our friendship with each other and our Equestria friends makes our power stronger than ever" Preston said and then Brody said. "Now you will get to feel exactly what the Magic of Friendship can do". With that everyone pressed a button on their swords and then Brody said "Ninja Steel Harmony Rangers, Blades Together" and then they put their swords on top of each other and generated energy.t "Ultimate Nexus Harmoni Blast" all six said, firing a rainbow beam straight at Galvanax. "My turn, Dark Nexus Chaos" he shouted and fired a dark beam from his Naginata. When the attacks collided, shock waves were created so strong that all the trees were uprooted. Twilight and Starlight created a shield around themselves so they and their friends were protected. "Give up Galvanax, this is your last chance" Brody shouted but Galvanax retorted saying "I'm a Galax Warrior Champion, I never surrender". It continued to push forward and then the rangers jumped up into the air. "Harmony Ninja Strike, Steel Slash" they all shouted and dived towards Galvanax and piled him one by one. First it was Levi, then Sarah, Hayley, Calvin and Preston and finally Brody came in. "Final Attack" he shouted and slashed with his sword as it glowed red and purple. As the attack landed, Galvanax began to crack and fall to his knees. “H… How could I lose” he cried and finally exploded. "Show over, Ninjas win" Brody said dropping to one knee. Twilight and the other rushed up to them with the other not far behind. "Are you guys okay?" she asked Brody and he said "Yeah, It's over". > Epilogue: The End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our heroes had gathered outside in a clearing at Applejack's farm in the evening. After a tough battle with Galvanax, Twilight was able to inform Princess Celestia that the danger was over. But since the battle had taken a lot of energy from the rangers, it was decided to have a night by a campfire. Pinkie had brought so many marshmallows that she even created a sculpture that looked like her. Everyone had a good laugh and with that Brody said "What an adventure this has been". "You can say that again" Calvin said, putting his arm over Hayley's shoulder. "No silly, if he says that again then he's a parrot" said Pinkie and they all laughed. "It's strange we'll be leaving. It feels like home here" Preston said looking up. "I see what you mean" Sarah said looking around at her new friends she said "We have so many new friends here. I don't want it to end" "This isn't the end" Twilight said, getting everyone's attention. "Our new friendship will surely let us meet again" she said and it made everyone smile. "She's right, no matter how far apart we are we'll stay friends" Brody said making everyone smile more. With that, Levi took out his guitar and it got everyone's attention. "What are you going to play" Rainbow said and then Levi said "Just listen, this is going to be good". And with that, Levi started playing the same song he'd taught Applejack, and the same one his dad had sung for him and Brody. The next day the rangers had packed their things and said their goodbyes. And with that, Mick activated the transporter and opened a portal. With that all the rangers went through the portal with Brody taking one last look at his pony friends. "Yeah that was Epic" he said and went through.
