Pony Rangers: Dino Thunder

Rainbow Dash groaned miserably as the teacher talked, recalling how she ended up in highschool in the first place as she eyed the clock up on the wall.

Twilight suggested that in order to seem more like average human teenagers; they would have to go to school. She dragged them all to the closest shopping center for school supplies before they got to school. They were introduced to classes, computers, and calculators. Applejack hated the last two items, being a typical farm pony herself.

There were only two things that Rainbow even thought for a moment to enjoy: Phys. Ed. class and the break times between classes. She soon found her love of a sport called soccer, and she happened to be very good at playing the game too. Sadly, the joy was broken within seconds of the boring theme of in-class work.

The clock was ticking. Other students also looked up at it, but not with as much impatience as Rainbow Dash herself. Her teeth were chattering...

Tick, Tock...

Sweat poured down from her forehead...

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...

Her eyes were open wide...

RRRRIIIIIIINNNNG!

Rainbow Dash bolted out of her seat and towards the door, now open as wide as it could. Within less than a minute, she was outside and breathing in the fresh air. She gazed above, imagining she was among the clouds and birds, flying over the buildings and people and dinosaurs...

"Wait a minute…" realized Dash.”What are dinosaurs doing here?"

Her friends had caught up with her by now. Twilight watched in fear as the large beasts stomped toward them, remembering Princess Celestia's letter. She signalled to her friends to follow her into a small forest area not too far from the school.

After a few long minutes of sprinting, the trio had reached a cave with an entrance to small for the beasts to enter. Twilight then opened up her backpack. "Girls, I have to tell you something. Something about the mission," she began, pulling out the morphers. She even pulled off the one on her wrist. "Those monsters are trying to take over Reefside, if not the entire Earth. Then they want to conquer Equestria too."

Applejack peeked out of the cave. "What do you mean by 'they want to'? They don't seem to have much of a mind of their own, by the looks of it. Sure there isn't anyone bossing them around?"

Twilight ignored the question for the moment as she was still trying to make sense of what parts of the morphers went together. So far, it looked like Twilight would represent the triceratops; Rainbow Dash would represent a pterodactyl, and Applejack a tyrannosaurus. What she didn't understand was the colour jewel in which to put each one in.

"These look like the morphers from the show," commented Dash. "Did you try using the colour pattern they used?"

"Actually, I don't think so," Twilight replied with curiosity. "I assumed that yellow would not work for your morpher." She followed her advice. Then she handed each person their morpher. "I hope this works."

The trio now ran back outside. The monsters were headed for the school. Students and teachers alike were screaming and running. From a mixture of voices, a conversation could be heard:

"Where are the Dino Thunder rangers?"

"Didn't you hear?"

"They've went to help fight against some aliens, far away from here."

"Someone call for help!"

Twilight looked at her friends in worry. "I don't know what to do! What do I say?" Applejack looked just as confused. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash jumped up.

"Never fear! Your trusty neighborhood Rainbow Dash is here!" With those words, she stood up straight and covered her morpher, which was at her side. "Dino thunder, power up!" she yelled, shifting her arm forward. "Ha!"

She suddenly appeared to be near a large volcano. Her clothes became one big, white suit with a golden emblem of a dinosaur's footstep on the chest. She jumped down onto lower ground as her suit turned yellow and wings sprouted from under her arms. She stood up straight as a matching yellow helmet materialized around her head. She flapped her wings a bit as the volcanic scene turned back to normal.

After a brief moment of awe, Twilight and Applejack followed her lead. Twilight now saw herself dressed in blue, and Applejack in red. "Good thing we had T.V. to watch last night," Dash commented "And I can fly again!"

"No time to start gloatin'," replied Applejack, running with immense speed towards a large green dinosaur about to stomp on a young toddler. She kicked it away as if the dinosaur's leg was just an apple tree. At once, the dinosaur ran away in fear.

Meanwhile, Twilight was running into a group of small dinosaurs surrounding an old woman. Despite the large number of animals, she actually did pretty well in fending off a few of the beasts with her walking stick and purse. As the herd of beasts started to move in, Twilight quickly calculated the perfect angle to scare them off while making sure the elderly citizen didn't get hurt. Within seconds, more dinosaurs were running away from the town.

Up in the sky, Rainbow Dash was giving some of the dinosaurs a migraine. She flew as fast as she could (which was pretty fast, of course) around their heads, taunting them all the while. Those dinosaurs ended up falling down in dizziness on the empty soccer field.

The last of these dinosaurs were rounded up by all three of the rangers and led away from the city. "I think ah'm almost ready to hit the hay for a bit," yawned Applejack with a hint of sarcasm, as she was almost never actually tired.

"Hmm, strange," Thought Twilight. "I thought there would be more to do."

"Well, maybe we'll have more action happening around here soon," thought Dash. "Power Down." While nobody was looking, she had changed back from her new alter-ego. The others followed. Then they walked back to the hotel.

As they opened the door, they were greeted by Spike the dog, who now looked like he was choking. He finally managed to spit out a scroll, marked with Princess Celestia's seal. Then he promptly went to sleep in exhaustion.

Twilight opened the letter. All she could say was, "Oh, my..."
