Harmonized Pony Rangers

Chapter 3

"80 buckets of slime on the wall! 80 buckets of slime! take one down, pass it around, 79 buckets of slime on the wall!"

The captive ponies were still singing along with Rita, much to their dismay, While Lord Zedd was still sitting on his throne, looking like he and Rita think they're on top of the world. The captive Ponies were still surrounded by Pony Putties and some even appeared to have been beaten up by them from attempts at escaping or fighting back

Zedd laughed whole-heartedly with content, as if he and Rita felt they were on top of the world, "Hahaha! this has been all too easy! It feels almost too good to be true!"

"That would be be because it is!" called out a voice coming from the direction Zedd and Rita were facing.

The singing stopped, Zedd stood up as he and Rita looked past the ponies they held captive and the Putty Ponies surrounding them and were surprised, yet also almost resigned toward what they saw.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding!" Rita exclaimed.

Zedd and Rita were looking at the Mane 6, whom were now the Harmonic Pony Power Rangers, or Pony Rangers for short, And the Pony Rangers were, again, standing on their hind legs.

"Hmph!" Zedd scoffed, "I should've known we'd have to put up with Power Rangers here too!"

"We're not just Power Rangers!" Rainbow Dash, the Cyan Ranger, exclaimed excitingly while finding herself constantly and erratically striking poses as she talked, "We're Pony Rangers!"

"And we're here to kick your flanks!" Pinkie, the Pink Ranger, exclaimed, also constantly posing.

"And protect everypony from your evil!" Fluttershy, the Yellow Ranger, exclaimed in a surprisingly normal sounding voice, and also posing.

"We now have power you'll wish you've never faced!" Rarity, the White Ranger, exclaimed, also posing.

"There's no way you can win! and that's jus' being purely honest!" Applejack, the Orange Ranger, exclaimed, also posing.

Twilight, the Lavender Ranger, was also posing as she said, "And we'll never run, hide, nor surrender! 'cause we're-"

"THE PONY RANGERS!" All 6 Rangers called out as they finally stopped at a pose where their front legs were to their sides and an explosion occurred behind the Mane 6 Rangers, followed by the random appearance of color-coded smoke clouds appearing behind each Ranger, each having the same respective color as the Ranger standing in front of it.

All 6 Rangers went back on all fours, Twilight in particular, collapsed to the ground.

"Whew! this is exhausting! I should work out a little more," Twilight said, panting slightly, "What is up with these powers? It's like they control our actions at certain points."

"Maybe that's how we learn to use them, after all, same thing happened when I thought about morphing," Rainbow Dash said.

"Ha! having difficulties with Ranger powers, are you?" Lord Zedd asked, "better hope you can do more than pose, 'cause otherwise I might end up almost feeling sorry for you all, almost. Now, Putty Ponies! ATTACK!"

The Putty Ponies start charging at the Pony Rangers, the civilian captives took advantage of this and ran away from the scene before Zedd and Rita could do anything.

Zedd thought about having the Putty Ponies grab the hostages again, but then thought, Nah, they weren't good singers anyway.

"Oooh! we're gonna have our first fight as superheroes!" Pinkie exclaimed excitingly, "Almost makes you wish there was some epic music to go with it."

Power metal music suddenly played out of nowhere;

the Rangers all looked around in confusion, even Pinkie.

"Huh?" Pinkie said in confusion, "I didn't expect that kind of music, but hey, this can work too."

"Pinkie, who are you talking to?" Twilight asked.

"It's a little... complicated," Pinkie answered, "let's just say I think we're gonna have more spuratic moments later."

As the Putty Ponies charged at the Rangers, the Rangers promptly charged right toward their foes as well.

Rarity approached a Putty Pony and got onto her hindlegs, which prompted her opponent to do the same. The Putty Pony tried to jab at Rarity with its right front hoof, but Rarity limboed under it, grabbed the Putty Pony's right front leg, and threw it to the ground with judo-like skill, she then kicked the Putty Pony to where it was laying on its side, then she elbow-dropped (or front-knee-dropped?) the Putty Pony's 'Z', destroying it.

Rainbow Dash was approached by a handful of Pony Putties, so Rainbow Dash shouted, "Harmony Feather Missle Fury!" She then started spinning around, causing her to unleash a volley of dart-like projectiles shaped like feathers, which all hit the mooks, causing sparks to appear on spots where the Putty Ponies got hit, as well as causing them to be knocked onto their backs, as if stunned from the attack.

Fluttershy was approached by a single Putty Pony and was almost immediately frightened by it, she started walking backward as it tried to get closer, whenever it was in range, it tried to hit Fluttershy only for her to find herself expertly dodging or blocking each attack.

At one point, Fluttershy stood on her hindlegs and held out her front hooves, pleading timidly, "please! just stop, I'm really not worth your time, I'm not even that good a Ranger, I just got the job after all, so did my friends."

But suddenly, a flash of yellow light occurred briefly and an arm-cannon-like device somehow materialized on Fluttershy's right front hoof.

Forgetting about the Putty Pony for a moment, Fluttershy examined the arm-cannon in confusion and curiosity. The Putty Pony also stopped its attack, as if confused by how Fluttershy was suddenly ignoring the mook.

But then, Fluttershy's confused fiddling with the controls caused the arm-cannon to suddenly fire, hitting the Putty Pony and knocked it back several feet to where the Putty Ponies who were stunned by Rainbow Dash were.

Applejack (or the Orange Ranger) saw the whole thing with Fluttershy and said, 'Say, Ah think Ah have an idea!"

Applejack charged at the stunned Putty Ponies and shouted, "Harmony Power Lasso!"

Suddenly, the stunned Putty Ponies found themselves tied together in a lasso that looked as though it was made of pure energy. They looked to see Applejack was standing on her hindlegs and and holding the lasso with her front hooves.

Applejack jumped then yanked the energy lasso, swinging it and the Putty Ponies around like a hammer throw.

"Fluttershy!" Applejack called out, "Once Ah throw those varmints into the air, you shoot 'em with yer blaster-thingly!"

"Oh, um, okay," Fluttershy said in compliance.

Finally, Applejack threw the energy lasso into the air, along with the Putty Ponies. Fluttershy then fired her arm cannon-like device, which we'll call a Hoof Blaster, and actually manages to hit them all in their flank 'Z's, destroying them.

Fluttershy seemed stunned by what she did, as if not really sure what to make of it, "oh... my..."

Pinkie Pie simply stood where she was as several Putty Ponies charged straight at her from multiple direction, when they got close enough, Pinkie simply jumped up, caused the Putty Ponies to crash into each other, causing them to knock each other down to the ground by accident.

"Yuhooo!" Pinkie called out to the stunned Putty Ponies, who all turned their heads and saw Pinkie standing just afew feet away from them. they tried again to pounce at her only for her to jump over them again, causing to them to trip and stumble in surprise.

Pinkie saw that the Putty Ponies were conveniently laying on their sides, so she promptly started jumping on their 'Z's like she was playing hopscotch on them, again, destroying them.

The few remaining Putty Ponies decided to go after Twilight, who was standing her ground, ready to fight.

"Alright, let's see how these Ranger powers work for me," Twilight said to herself, at first. she tried to cast a spell, but to her surprise, nothing happened, Twilight was shocked and confused, "Wha? how's that even possible?"

One of the Putty Ponies tried to ram at Twilight, but she managed to jump away, she tried flapping her wings in the middle of the jump, but for some reason, they didn't work either, this doesn't make sense, Twilight thought.

Twilight turned on the communicator, which was hidden in her costume, and spoke through it, "Princess Celestia, what's going on? for some reason, it seems I can't use magic or fly while I'm morphed.

"It's possible that when you're morphed, the Ranger powers will only allow you to use abilities and attacks that they give you," Celestia replied through Twilight's communicator, "I'll use the Control Chamber's main computer to view into the Morphin Grid and look for any additional abilities you haven't already discovered yet, but in the meantime, I'm sorry to say you'll have to make do."

"Got it!" Twilight said, then turned off her communicator.

Another Putty Pony tried to ram at Twilight, but she quickly turned and smack the Putty Pony in the head with her left wing, knocking it down to the ground, Twilight turned and saw two more Putty Ponies charging at her, she promptly charged at them, managed to get between them, and close-lined both of them by opening both her wings, causing them to be knocked on their backs.

Twilight then held out her right front hoof and exclaimed, "Hoof Blaster!" and her Hoof Blaster appeared and she quickly fired it on each of the Z-flanks of the remaining Putty Ponies, destroying them.

With that, all the Putty Ponies were finally defeated.

All 6 Pony Rangers turned to Rita and Zedd, who both looked surprisingly unbothered by how their mooks were defeated.

"Ha! suck on that, you you freakish-looking bozos!" Rainbow Dash dissed as she pointed her hoof at Rita and Zedd, "Why don't you two come down here and fight us like.. uh... bipedal... staff-holding, comic book super-villain rejects?"

Both Lord Zedd and Rita laughed at how Rainbow's attempt at provoking them fell flat, and they both jumped off the platform so that they were now at ground level with the Pony Rangers.

"Ha! you want us to fight you?" Lord Zedd asked, "Don't flatter yourselves, we got a planet to conquer, why should we soil our hands on the likes of you?"

"But don't worry," Rita said, "we know someone who should keep you busy while we're gone!"

Rita and Zedd turned to the platform behind them, crossed their staffs together, and both shouted "MAKE OUR MONSTER AND MAKE HIM GROW!"

A powerful bolt of magic came from both their staffs hit the wooden platform and turned him into a giant bipedal monster that looked as though it was made entirely of wood and looked around ten stories tall.

The wood monster had a huge and thick log for a torso, its arms and legs were long, narrow, and bizarrely flexible legs, its hands looked like they were made entirely out planks of wood, its feet are giant planks of wood, and even its head looked like a giant plank of wood with a face drawn on it.

"Gahahahaha!" the wood monster bellowed, "Hey! I am Wood Chuck! and I wood love a chance to crush some Rangers!"

The Pony Rangers were shocked at the sight of this monster.

"Oookay," Twilight said with some nervousness in her tone, "that was unexpected."

"At least to anypony that's not the reader," Pinkie said, looking at the wooden monster with awe..

"A monster this tall makes some full-grown dragons look like hound dogs," Rainbow Dash quipped.

"I had no idea those two were capable of conjuring such a monstrosity," Rarity commented, as if both intrigued and intimidated by the sight of Wood Chuck.

"Now Ah wish Ah had a chainsaw...," Applejack muttered to herself.

Fluttershy simply stood frozen in place, clearly terrified over seeing the giant monster, as if she was almost on the verge of fainting.

"Have fun, Rangers!" Rita said mockingly as she and Lord Zedd started walking off.

"Wait!" Twilight called out, but Zedd and Rita quickly teleported away before she could even start getting to them.

"Uh, Twilight," Rainbow said, clearly sounding unnerved from inside her helmet as she just stand around, looking up at Wood Chuck, "Something tells me we're gonna need bigger powers..."
