Harmonized Pony Rangers

Chapter 4

Looking up the the giant wood monster called Wood Chuck, The Pony Rangers could tell they got their work cut out for them.

"Alright girls," Twilight, the Lavender Ranger, said,"There's no doubt this won't be easy, but I think we can take this hunk of lumber down, Hoof Blasters!"

All 6 Pony Rangers summoned their Hoof Blasters and fired them at the giant Wood Chuck, but that attack didn't seem to even phase him.

"Hahahahaha!" Wood Chuck bellowed, "That didn't so much as chip off any bark! let me show you how to really make someone go timber!"

Wood Chuck stomped the ground hard, causing the ground to shake tremendously, with the Pony Rangers struggling to keep on their hooves, only to find themselves falling to their sides.

When the ground stopped shaking, the Rangers quickly went back on their hooves, they all suddenly heard beeping coming from their communicators and Rainbow Dash, the Cyan Ranger, promptly turned hers on.

"Uh, Princess?" Rainbow said, "We literally got some BIG trouble here."

"I know, I'm looking at this monster through the Control Chamber's monitor," Celestia voice came from Rainbow's communicator, "But don't worry, you have a means to bring it down, I've already sent over your Harmony Zords, they should be here in a moment"

"Harmony Zords? what are they?" Twilight asked.

"Giant battle machines used for these very situations," Celestia answered.

There was a slightly awkward 10-second pause among the Rangers.

"Rangers do this alot, don't they?" Applejack asked.

"Yes, yes they do," Celestia answered in a rather plain tone, almost as if she was having less trouble taking in the strangeness of the whole situation than the Mane 6 are.

"Hey girls!" Pinkie, the Pink Ranger, exclaimed, "Lookee over here!"

The other 5 Rangers turned around to see what Pinkie was looking at, and sure enough, they saw a group of giant mechanical animals heading their direction.

Those mechanical gaint animals consisted of the following, a Lavender Owl Zord, an Orange Collie Zord, a Pink Gator Zord, a White Cat Zord, a Yellow Rabbit Zord, and a Cyan Turtle Zord. The Owl Zord in particular was flapping its wings to stay in the air above the other Zords.

"Wow! those must be our Harmony Zords!" Twilight exclaimed, clearly amazed by what she was seeing.

"We get giant robot animals to ride?" Rainbow Dash asked metaphorically in excitement, "I can't even put to words how awesome this is!"

"I must say, whoever built this fine machines has excellent taste in craftsmanship," Rarity commented.

"Ah've never seen so much metal on somethin' so big.." Applejack also commented.

"oh my.. we have to fight that monster with these things?" Fluttershy asked, clearly shocked by what she was seeing.

Suddenly, in a flash of light, the Pony Rangers disappeared.

Twilight found herself reappearing in a strange small room, it consisted of what looked like a control panel, a cushion in front of said control panel, and a giant glass windshield that gave a full view of Pony from above as well as the giant Wood Chuck, who seemed to be standing his ground, as if waiting for the Pony Rangers to make the first move, and judging from how Twilight could see all the other Zords bellow her, Twilight figured she must be in the Lavender Owl Zord.

"This must be the cockpit for my Zord," Twilight said to herself, she turned on her communicator, "Girls, can any of you read me?"

"Loud and clear, Twi," Applejack responded from inside the cockpit of her Collie Zord, "Ah'm in some kinda weird gizmo room."

"Me too," Rainbow Dash said from inside her Turtle Zord.

"I think I am too," said Fluttershy while she was in her Rabbit Zord.

"It seems we're all in the Zords of our respective color," Rarity observed from within, as you likely guessed, her Cat Zord.

"Wow, this is cool!" Pinkie exclaimed, then looked at the control panel of her Gator Zord, "Hey! nice stereo!"

Twilight walked over to her Zord's control panel and sat down on the cushion that was in front of it, Twilight looked at the Zord's controls.

"These controls look simple enough," Twilight said, "Alright girls, you all ready?"

"Ready!" said all 5 of Twilight's friends, all already sitting down ready to pilot their Zords.

"Alright!" Twilight exclaimed.

Then, all 6 Pony Rangers held out their front hooves and shouted, "HARMONY ZORDS! POWER UP!"

All 6 Harmony Zords started charging (or flying in the case of Twilight's Owl Zord) at Wood Chuck.

"You're barking up the wrong tree if you think these sissy Zords can stop me!" Wood Chuck mocked.

"We'll see about that!" Twilight responded as she flew her Owl Zord toward Wood Chuck, "Firing lasers!"

The Lavender Owl Zord's beak open and a lavender-colored laser beam fired out of it. The laser managed to hit Wood Chuck, who was easily staggered by the attack, making it obviously that he was hurt by it.

When the Owl Zord was close enough, Wood Chuck tried to grab it, but the Owl Zord banked left and turned away from the monster.

"Hey! get back here you little woodpecker!" Wood Chuck called out.

"You better start worrying about me instead!" Rainbow Dash boasted.

The Cyan Turtle Zord stomped over to where it was just afew meters away from Wood Chuck. The Turtle Zord then opened the front of its shell to reveal a pair of giant missile launchers.

"Cyan Turtle Zord! fire all missles!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

The Turtle Zord's missile launchers started firing, unleashing a barrage of missles at Wood Chuck.

The missles managed to hit Wood Chuck hard, successfully knocking the wood monster off his feet.

"What's the matter, Wood Chuck? getting a little shell-shocked?" Rainbow Dash dissed.

"Yew are gonna pay for that!" Wood Chuck called out as he picked himself back up on his feet and started charging at Rainbow's Cyan Turtle Zord.

"I think it's our turn, wouldn't you agree, Applejack?" Rarity asked from inside the cockpit of her White Cat Zord.

"Darn tootin'!" Applejack said in agreement from within her Orange Collie Zord cockpit.

Both the Cat Zord and Collie Zord dashed past the Turtle Zord and started charging at Wood Chuck.

Both Zords jumped bit hard hanging onto Wood Chuck's arms with their metallic teeth, causing sparks to come out of where the monster was getting bitten.

"Yargh!" Wood Chuck cried out in pain, "I guess your bites are worst than my bark, but I think I know how to root out that problem!"

Wood Chunk then swinged his arms to where they made the Collie and Cat Zords crash into each other.

The impact made the two Zords shake violently, with Applejack and Rarity both shaking from within their cockpits, struggling to keep hold on their controls. Eventually, both Zords were forced to release Wood Chuck from their toothy grip and they both fell back down to the ground.

"Whoa nelly!" Applejack said, "That was quite a rush."

Fluttershy's Yellow Rabbit Zord started making several 6-meter long hops around Wood Chuck until it got behind him.

Twilight, from in her Owl Zord, saw the Rabbit Zord's movements from above and started talking to Fluttershy through her communicator, "You planning to strike him from behind Fluttershy?"

"You could say that," Fluttershy confirmed, but started looking around her control panel with a very confused demeanor, "But at this point I'm trying to figure out how to do the 'striking' part with a giant mechanical bunny. Now which button to do I..."

Fluttershy pressed a random button, and noticed the ears on her Rabbit Zord were suddenly crackling with electricity, she pressed the button again, which caused the Rabbit Zord to start firing bolts of lightning at Wood Chuck with its mechanical rabbit ears.

"Yeow!" Wood Chuck cried in pain, then turned to Fluttershy's Rabbit Zord, "Why you! you're gonna regret tryin' to turn me into firewood!"

Wood Chuck was about to approach the Rabbit Zord when he felt one of his feet stuck on something, he looked down to see his right leg was being held by a certain Pony Ranger's Pink Gator Zord, that had its head turned sideways and was biting at Wood Chuck's leg with its teeth.

Wood Chuck was ticked, and promptly started stomping on the Pink Gator Zord.

"Whoa! urgh!" Pinkie grunted as her Gator Zord was violently shaking from getting stomped on by Wood Chuck.

"Hold on, Pinkie!" Twilight exclaimed as she flew her Lavender Owl Zord straight at Wood Chuck, "I'll get you out of this!"

The Lavender Owl Zord fired more laser beams out of its beak and caused Wood Chuck to stagger, giving Pinkie enough time to release the monster from her Gator Zord's toothy grip and allow her to move her Zord to a safer distance.

However, once the Owl Zord was close enough, Wood Chuck quickly backhanded the Owl Zord, which knocked it around and caused it to spin out of control as it was now head straight for a nearby Ponyville building.

"TWILIGHT!" all 5 of her friends called out from their Zord cockpits.

Twilight was struggling to regain control of her Zord, she knew that obviously that if her Zord were to crash into that building, things will get ugly fast.

Twilight gave the joystick on her control panel a death grip with both her front hooves as she tried hard at pushing the opposite direction of where she was spinning out of control, after much straining, she managed to regain control of her Owl Zord just in time to pull up away from the building.

"Whew! that was way too close!" Twilight signed in relief, she then turned on her communicator to talk to Princess Celestia, " Celestia, these Zords are helping us do better, but it's still not enough to beat him."

"Then we have only one option left," Celestia said through the Pony Ranger's communicators, "you all must combine your Harmony Zords to form the Harmony Megazord!"

"Harmony Megazord?" Twilight asked.

"It's one of your most powerful Ranger weapons," Celestia said, "your Zords can turn into body parts that are used to form a giant bipedal robot, that is the Harmony Megazord."

"How do we combine our Zords then?" Twilight asked.

"Don't worry," Celestia reassured, "I can walk you through the process, first; Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, vocally command your Yellow Rabbit Zord and Pink Gator Zord to form the legs."

"Okey Dokey Lokey!" Pinkie said cheerfully.

"Oh, alright, here goes," Fluttershy said in compliance, "Yellow Rabbit Zord!"

"Pink Gator Zord!" Pinkie called out.

"Form the legs!" both Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie called out

The Rabbit Zord and Gator Zord both moved to where they were parallel with each other, then they both lifted their bottoms to where they were both pointing upward at the sky and the Zords had only their heads and necks touching the ground.

"Rainbow Dash, your Cyan Turtle Zord is the Harmony Megazord's torso," Celestia said.

"Got it! Cyan Turtle Zord! form the torso!" Rainbow Dash called out.

The Cyan Turtle Zord retracted its head and legs back into its shell, and the shell started floating upward, turned to where it was at a vertical angle, the shell then floated to the legs and connected to the legs, with the upper part of the shell making up the front part of the torso.

"Applejack, Rarity, your Orange Collie Zord and White Cat Zord are also the Harmony Megazord's arms," Celestia said.

"Right!" both Rarity and Applejack said.

"Orange Collie Zord!" Applejack called out.

"White Cat Zord!" Rarity called out.

"Form the arms!" both Applejack and Rarity called out.

Both the Collie Zord and Cat Zord laid down on their bellies and suddenly started floating upward, both Zords connected to opposite sides of the torso, with the Collie Zord on the right and the Cat Zord on the left, finally, the heads of the Zords magically transformed into five-fingered hands.

"Twilight, I think you've already figured out what you must do," Celestia said through Twilight's communicator.

"Don't worry, I know," Twilight reassured, then called out "Lavender Owl Zord! form the head!"

The Lavender Owl Zord flew over and landed on the top of the torso, the front of the Owl Zord opened up to reveal a robotic face that consisted of a pink visor and a metallic purple face plate.

the Harmony Megazord was finally fully assembled.

After another random teleportation, the Pony Rangers found themselves all sitting in a much larger looking control room, the Pony Rangers were sitting what seemed like a hexagon-like seating formation, with Twilight at the very front, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy sitting next to her, with Applejack and Rarity respectively sitting behind them, and Rainbow Dash sitting in the very back on the control room. Each of the six Pony Rangers also had small control panels in front of them for controlling different parts of the Harmony Megazord.

"Wow!" Twilight said with tremendous amazement," This machine is gigantic!"

"I must agree," Rarity said, "it must be almost as tall as Canterlot Castle."

"I bet you could throw an Ursa Major around like a beach ball with this thing!" Rainbow Dash commented.

"Oh my.." Fluttershy said in a rather shocked tone, still having trouble sinking in what's going on and what she and her friends have been doing, "I hope we don't step on anypony."

"Wow wee!" Pinkie exclaimed excitedly, "Once we're done, remind me to throw a giant robot party later!"

"Ah say we start puttin' the petal to this metal!" Applejack suggested.

"Right!" all 6 Pony Rangers exclaimed in agreement.

"I should hope you haven't forgotten about trying to prune me!" Wood Chuck said as he charged straight at the Harmony Megazord.

The Harmony Megazord promptly started marching at Wood Chuck. Wood Chuck tried to punch the Megazord, but it skillfully parried the attack with one arm and unleashed a powerful punch of its own that landed right on Wood Chuck's chest, causing him to stagger slightly.

"Yow!" Wood Chuck cried out in pain, "Why don't you make a tree and leaf!"

Wood Chuck suddenly held out his hands, which caused holes to open on the palms, and suddenly, leaves started coming out of the holes and the leaves were swiftly flying toward the Harmony Megazord.

When any of the leaves landed on the Harmony Megazord, they unleashed several small explosions, which caused the Megazord to stagger, and the Rangers piloting it to shake from the ensuing vibrations that came from the attack. But surprisingly, the Harmony Megazord didn't suffer much serious damage.

"Whoa, what a rush," Applejack commented after the violent shaking she and her friends suffered from the attack.

"I think it's time I branch out!" Wood Chuck cheerfully as he then started pointing the fingers of his right hand at the Harmony Megazord. the fingers then extended and turning into whip-like root fingers.that were trying to extend their way toward the Harmony Megazord.

The Harmony Megazord found itself suddenly tied up by a mass of roots.

Wood Chuck then turned the opposite direction, and swinged his rooty whip-like fingers over his head, along with the tied-up Harmony Megazord. Wood Chuck released the Harmony Megazord from its rooty prison so it could find itself being launched straight at Ponyville City Hall.

Fortunately, all staff within City Hall seemed to have seen the oncoming Megazord that was getting thrown toward them and they all quickly evacuated the building.

"Well, at least nopony will get hurt from this crash," Fluttershy commented.

"You mean aside from us, right?" Rainbow Dash asked with slight sarcasm.

"Way to keep with the positive, Rainbow," Twilight said with similar sarcasm, "either way, I suggest this; brace for impact!"

The Harmony Megazord found itself crashing head-first into Ponyville City Hall, causing most of the building to collapse and fall apart.

Mayor Mare witnessed the sight from a safe distance and said with exasperation, "not again, this is the third time this happened!"

The Harmony Megazord pulled itself out of the wreckage and went back on its feet.

"Hey, Princess," Rainbow Dash said through her communicator, "Any chance this thing has weapons of it's own? we're still getting tossed around here."

"Then it looks like you'll have to call upon the Harmony Blade," Celestia said through Rainbow Dash's communicator, "It's an extremely sharp and durable blade that can cut through even some of the toughest materials. you only need to vocally call for it to unleash it."

"Alright! we call upon the Harmony Blade!" Twilight called out.

Suddenly, a slot opened on the wrist of the Harmony Megazord's right arm (being Rarity's White Cat Zord), and a katar-like blade sprung out of the slot.

Wood Chuck tried to swing his root-whip fingers at the Harmony Megazord, only for the Megazord to skillfully grab the root fingers, and pulled strongly at them, forcibly dragging the monster toward the mechanical giant.

When Wood Chuck was pulled close enough, the Harmony Megazord quickly and relentlessly started slashing at Wood Chuck with its Harmony Blade. Hit sparks appeared in every spot Wood Chuck got hit and it was fast becoming clear that the Harmony Megazord was now doing some real damage.

Eventually, Wood Chuck managed to pull himself out of the Harmony Megazord's grip and said, "Argh, this is not my Arbor Day..."

"We've had enough of your stupid wood puns!" Rainbow Dash called out, "I say we finish this!"

suddenly a brief, seemingly random thought came to the minds of all 6 Pony Rangers, as if they were all thinking the exact same thing.

All 6 Pony Rangers called out; "HARMONY MEGAZORD! RAINBOW STRIKE!"

The Harmony Blade suddenly started glowing a rainbow-like aura before thrusting out the Blade, which caused the Harmony Blade to extend several meters long as it impaled Wood Chuck.

"YAAARRRGH!" Wood Chuck cried out in pain, and once the Harmony Blade shorted back to its original length, Wood Chuck slowly started to fall to the ground, "looks like it's timber for me!"

Wood Chuck finally fell face-down on the ground before literally exploding into nothingness.

Fluttershy sighed in relief.

"That's it! we did it!" Twilight cheered

"Oh yeah! we've proven we're just that awesome!" Rainbow Dash boasted cheerfully.

"On that I must agree," Rarity said in her usual sophisticated manner, "We've clearly put on quite a show."

"We were amazing!" Pinkie cheered, "I've never done anything this explosively big since the first New Years party I threw!"

"Hoo wee! Ah bet those two kooks Zedd and Rita would be plum embarrassed ta see the flank we kicked!" Applejack commented.

Later, back at the Control Chamber.

After quickly noticing a flash of light behind them, Celestia, Luna, and Spike all turned around to find the Pony Rangers have teleported back to the Control Chamber.

After quickly taking their helmets off, Spike quickly ran up to Twilight and hugged her.

"You girls were amazing!" Spike said, "Rita and Zedd's goons never stood a chance!"

Celestia gave a warm smile to the Mane 6, "I agree, you 6 never cease to impress, in your first time you've already proven more than capable of using Ranger powers as well as more than worthy of calling yourselves Power Rangers."

"And I should thank you for.. field testing the Harmony Zords, you're really put them though their paces," said a slightly nasally voice coming from somewhere.

The Mane 6 looked to their right to see a certain Earth Pony enter the Control Chamber through another door in the Control Chamber.

The Earth Pony had an unkempt short black mane and tail, light brown coat, a white lab coat, goggles with two-way mirror lenses that kept anypony from seeing his eyes, and a Cutie Mark what looks like a metal cog.

"My little ponies," Celestia said before walking over to the Earth Pony, "I'd like you to meet Professor Invento, one of Equestria's top scientists, its greatest inventor, and the stallion that built your Harmony Zords."

"As well as the stallion that made this marvelous temple of technology that is the Control Chamber," Professor Invento said proudly.

"Speaking of which," Twilight said, "Do we have any idea where Zedd and Rita could've ran off to?"

"I already sent out Royal Guards to search for them since they left you to fight that monster," Celestia said, "But I'm sorry to say, they so far have found no trace of them. by now they could be anywhere in Equestria or even anywhere on the planet. So for now all we can do is wait for them to make their next move. But anyway, I believe I owe you all an explanation for how I got all this planned out."

"I have to agree," Luna said, "You didn't even tell me much about this whole.. Power Ranger business you had planned when we got word from Spike about Zedd and Rita."

"You'll have to forgive me on that, dear sister," Celestia said, "it's been decades since Invento and I got things prepped, and because of how unorthodox and overzealous the whole idea was, I kept hoping I wouldn't have to go that route."

"I, on the other hoof, have been looking forward to it," Invento said, "After all, when you've been given the honor of working with some of the most advanced technology you've ever seen, I think it would only make sense to get some use out of it, but perhaps we should start from the beginning."

"You're right," Celestia said as everypony (plus one dragon) sat down, and she started to tell her tale; "It started afew decades ago, before the 7 of you were born and before Luna returned to us, the city of Fillydelphia was suddenly attacked by a monster from a different universe similar to the one you fought using your Zords. That monster hurt alot of ponies and caused alot of property damage, and even my magic did little to hold it back when I arrived with the royal guard to help protect the city."

Celestia paused briefly as she turned to one of the control panels and started pressing some buttons, then continued, "But then, a group of multicolored warriors that called themselves Power Rangers came to Equestria, they fought and quickly defeated the monster and disappeared as quickly as they came, I'll show you what this particular group of Rangers looked like;"

The monitor turned on to reveal a certain group of Rangers:

Celestia turned her gaze back toward the Mane 6, "But then, just a few short hours later, these Rangers came to me in my royal chambers using the same teleportation technology that was used to bring you here and back to Ponyville. They explained to me that the monster they defeated came to our world from their own through an experiment gone wrong that caused a gap between dimensions, I learned that they already fixed the problem and expressed concern that something from their dimension may attack Equestria again and offered to help me prepare accordingly."

"So they gave you the technical knowledge needed to build the Control Chamber and the Zords?" Twilight asked, quickly catching on.

"Precisely, the Professor here has been a great help to me in putting everything together," Celestia said as she noticed Professor Invento sitting on his haunches with his head held high with pride, "And those Rangers, knowing our society is more used to relying on magic, even helped me come up with a spell that can take powerful enough magical artifacts and convert them to Ranger Powers via binding them to the Morphin Grid, just as Luna and I did with your Elements of Harmony. And before they left, the Rangers then spent alot of time explaining to me the ways of the Power Ranger, how the foes usually attack, how Rangers fought their foes, what they usually do in most situations, all the virtues they stood for, and yes, even some of their greatest foes that inhabit their universe."

"Which is how you knew about Rita and Zedd?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, though-," Celestia was cut off when she suddenly heard staticy sound coming from behind her, she turned to see something happening to the monitor, as if something on screen was struggling to clear up, "Professor, what's going on?"

Professor Invento moved to another control panel and looked at a few small screens on it, "Look's like something's trying to tap into our communications channel, should I patch it through?"

"Go head," Celestia said, "Whoever is trying to contact us, they can't do us any harm from here."

Invento promptly pressed some buttons and the monitor cleared up to reveal Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa!

"Hello, girls!" Rita greeted, "I hope you didn't think you got us beat already."

"Now that would be wishful thinking," Rainbow Dash said with slight sarcasm.

"Don't think for a moment you've driven us out of your world that easily," Lord Zedd said, "You six may have defeated Wood Chuck, but the next time we strike at your planet, it won't be so easy to stop us!"

"You thought that was easy?" Twilight asked with a raised eyebrow.

Lord Zedd ignored Twilight's question and continued, "And don't bother trying to find us, we've already found a perfect place to build our new palace and you'll only find out where it is when you've lost and your entire planet is forever under my-" Rita quickly punched Zedd in the arm, "OW! I mean, our regime!"

Both Rita and Zedd laughed evilly.

"You better hope you'll be ready for us!" Rita said, "See ya later!"

The monitor suddenly went blank.

"Somethin' tells me those two varmints are gonna be around for a while," Applejack said.

"Which would mean we'll be using these new powers for while," Twilight pointed out in a worried tone, "But now I'm wondering if we can keep this up."

Celestia gave Twilight a reassuring smile, "Don't be discouraged, Twilight. Remember, even before you all got these Ranger powers, you and your friends have achieved many great things since you all became friends, you've all already done many thing that most used to believe were impossible. and if it helps, Power Rangers in their universe have always been seen as embodiments of heroism, teamwork, and honor, the same values you six young ponies have already followed throughout your previous adventures, simply continue to rely on each other, always stand up for what's right, and always follow the virtues your Elements of Harmony represent, the virtues you all represent, and your Ranger Powers will continue to serve you well."

"ooh! ooh! ooh! girls!" Pinkie called out, "I just thought of something I want us to do quickly!"

Pinkie motioned the rest of the Mane 6 over to her, they prompted walked over her and she had them all huddle together like a football team, they all mutter something that neither Spike, Celestia, nor Luna could hear, placed their right front hooves together.

"Okay, you all ready?" Pinkie asked, they all nodded, "1..2..3!"

"PONY RANGERS!"the Mane 6 all exclaimed as they all jumped up and raised their right front hooves.

And so, the adventure begins.
