Pony Rangers: Dino Thunder

Meanwhile, in Reefside, Twilight Sparkle was just about to unlock the door to the Oliver residence. "It was nice of Mr. Oliver to let us stay here for a while," she thought aloud, heard clearly by Spike now that she was unmorphed and the ranger helmet did not cover her head. "Now we don't have to keep paying the rent in that hotel."

The sound of a fast vehicle followed. Twilight turned around to see the brand-new motorbikes that Tommy Oliver had also gave them. The red and yellow ones were currently driven by Applejack and Rainbow Dash. The blue bike meant for Twilight was already in the driveway, but Applejack and Rainbow Dash had decided to race each other a few times. Since they had not unmorphed yet, they had a slight resemblance to some stunt-bike riders. Twilight checked her watch. "Get inside, it's getting late!" she called to her friends.

Within an hour, everyone was inside and had unpacked. "Anypony--er, anyone, I mean-- hungry for some apple slices?"

Twilight looked at her friend in confusion. "AJ, you were greener than Granny Smith after eating the leftovers of that apple pie. Are you sure you want more apples?"

Applejack's face became stern as she pushed an apple cutter on an apple, cutting it into multiple slices. "Twi', you know we Apples eat nothin' but apples." She took a bite out of one of the apple slices, resuming her speech before she was completely finished chewing. "I highly doubt they would be the cause of--" she stopped speaking abruptly and put one hand to her face, bending forward and running to the kitchen sink. After a few seconds of vomiting, Applejack lifted her head and wiped her mouth. "Pesticides," she muttered. "We'll get some good ol' organic apples next time."

Suddenly, Spike scurried into the kitchen. "Applejack, Twilight, you have to see what Rainbow Dash and I found!" he barked, running around in circles with excitement before heading back out of the kitchen. Twilight and Applejack followed.

Not long after, Spike had reached the old headquarters of the Dino Thunder rangers. It looked much like it did in the show, except Rainbow Dash was already there. Behind her was a strange portal. Twilight and Applejack took a closer look at the portal.

"Why, that looks mighty familiar." Applejack thought aloud. Soon after, a girl dressed in pink fell out of the portal, followed by two more, who were then followed by a large suitcase and a fluffy, white cat.

The girl dressed in pink jumped up first, taking a quick look at her surroundings. Upon seeing the three new rangers, her face brightened (which was almost impossible, considering how excited she looked beforehand). "Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash! I'm so happy to see you!" she exclaimed. "It's me, Pinkie!" She looked at her hands and her shoe-covered feet. "Wow, humans look a lot different compared to ponies," she remarked.

"We were so worried about you," said Fluttershy, getting up cautiously and looking at the surroundings. "Where are we?" she asked.

"This is the house of Dr. Tommy Oliver," Twilight answered with a smile. "He's a famous Power Ranger, and he let us stay here during the next little while." Her smile started to fade as she realized that she wasn't sure exactly how long she and her friends would be in Reefside.

"Pardon me, Twilight, but Celestia said these little devices would be of some assistance," said Rarity as she pulled out two morphers from her saddlebag, which had become an elegant purse. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight took a step closer to examine what Rarity was holding.

"New morphers!" Dash exclaimed. "But wait," she frowned. "There's six of us, so who gets the morphers?"

"Definitely ain't us three," answered Applejack, holding up her morpher and gesturing to Twilight and Rainbow Dash, who held up their morphers as well.

"Not mine," Fluttershy added. "Well, maybe it is, but Celestia said I didn't have to be a ranger if I didn't want to."

"We better put them somewhere same for now, until we're sure about which morpher belongs to whom," suggested Twilight. Rarity handed the morphers to Twilight, but her fingers fumbled and she dropped the black ranger morpher.

"I got it!" barked Spike, running under the morpher and letting it land onto his back. Applejack bent over to pick it up, noticing a stranger connection between the diameter of the wrist of the morpher and Spike's front legs.

"Twi', could you come see this?" asked Applejack.

Twilight bent down to see what Applejack was pointing at and nodded. "Spike, how would you like to demonstrate how a morpher works?" she asked Spike.

"Uh, sure," Spike answered, confusion in his voice. He slipped the morpher onto his front leg. "But I don't see why you guys can't just show them." He jumped onto his back legs, hopping slightly as he tried to stay up. He also added, "This doesn't look exactly like any of the morphers from the show." He looked up at the Mane Six. "So, all I have to do is say 'Dino thunder, power up,' and--" he abruptly stopped speaking as soon as he realized that he was morphing into the black ranger.

"That morpher worked for Spike!"Pinkie Pie remarked. "Who would have known those could work on dogs."

Spike stared at himself in amazement, now as tall as an adult human and able to switch between standing on two and four legs with more ease. "I feel like that talking dog ranger from SPD. And I like it!"

As the Mane Six looked at each other with confusion upon hearing the 'talking dog ranger' remark from Spike, Twilight held the white ranger morpher in her hands, examining it carefully. "We still need to figure out who this white ranger morpher belongs to," she said. "I'll find a place to put this. Then we can all have some dinner."
