Power Ponies: The New Heroes

It's been a day since Celestia and the rest of the Royals had become unofficial members of the Rangers, and Lone was finishing up something for the four of them.

They had no idea. Nightmare and Luna stayed on the same floor as Red, but not in the same room. Luxi however was snoozing with him, because she wanted to be close to the one who had supported her so, both since she was a villain, and since turning good.

Celestia was, once again, in the spa, this time getting ready for her date. She was as happy as a filly that just got an entire bag of her favorite candy.

Luna and Nightmare also were, being pampered in excitement, as Red and Luxi woke up, with Red beginning to go back to work on something for his sister, when he found her.

"So, are you two looking foreward to going to Eclipse Cafe?" the solar alicorn asked.

"Indeed we are, Celestia," Nightmare said.

"I won't. I was thinking of the vegetarian pizza."

"Hmph! Vegetarian? Ha! Some of us need to have the good stuff." Nightmare said smiling.

"You have more predator like teeth, Sister," Luna said to Nightmare, as she and Celestia had found out a few days before they came to Maretropolis that she shared Luna's blood and was their sister. "We only have teeth suited for plants."

"An easy fix with magic, and you know it," Nightmare said.

"Plus it's just as good we know..." Luna explained.

"At least try it this one night. I heard Red and Lone say they were going to order steak for themselves. I imagine they used magic to allow for that." Nightmare said

"Red doesn't suit me a steak man...he seems more like a burger guy or pizza guy..." Celestia said.

Luna spoke up nodding "Very well. I'll try it for tonight for our dear lover."

"I suppose I will as well, but only for Lone," Celestia said.

"Good, Who knows, Maybe you'll keep it that way!" Nightmare said smiling at both happily.

"Though, I wonder why they decided to become omnivores," Luna said.

"You know," Celestia said, "one thing I noticed while Lone introduced me to other Rangers, I saw they all had the same teeth as Lone and Red, so it might a team wide
decision so the carnivores don't feel like they're in the minority."

"Hey your right....that's true...maybe that's the case." Said Nightmare, smiling a bit.

Meanwhile, Lone was on his way to the spa to give the alicorns when he ran into Red and Luxi, both of which were on the way to the spa. "Hey, you two," Lone said.

"Hey buddy how's it going?" He asked smiling with Luxi as they were on the way to the spa.

"Just heading to the spa to give Celestia and the others a present. Which reminds me, Luxi," he said bringing out a morpher with her outfits color scheme on it and handing it to her, "this is for you. It's a morpher that has your current outfit programmed into the nano-machines. What are you two doing?"

"We were heading to the spa to get ready." Red said as Luxi smiled and put it on. Red held out his hand. "How about you give me Luna and Nightmare's? I'll give it to them." He explained.

"No, the colors on them are too similar, and we both know I'm the only one who can tell the difference between the two, but by all means," he said gesturing for them to go on ahead, "lead on."

"They are my lovers....I should give it to them." Red said grumbling as he went to the elevator.

"Fine," Lone said, tossing him Luna's, which Red caught in his left hand, then tossed him Nightmare's, which Red caught in his right. "Keep the seperate, and remember which hand they're in."

"That's better." he said smiling as he looked at both of them along with his own, on his left wrist, before they went down to the spa floor and began to go through to find the trio.

They bumped into the three just as they left. "Oh, hello, Lone" Celestia said. "What brings you here?"

Shrugging, Lone said, "Nothing, except that I have something for you," he said as he gave Celestia her morpher. "It has two suits in it, unlike others. The first is your current one. The second is one I personally designed for you. Call it a 'welcome to the team' present."

Red smiled, and gave the left one to Luna and the right one to Nightmare "Both of these are the same as the one TIa gave, with differences suited to your own styles." He explained smiliing at each of them as Luna and Nightmare took them putting them on, before smiling and kissing his cheeks.

"Well," Luna said, putting hers on, "they're definitely stylish."

"That they are," Nightmare said as she put on hers, while Celestia just admired hers like it was a ring.

"And very functional as well." Red explained smiling

"So," Celestia said, "when shall we be leaving."

"Now, if you wish," Lone said, bowing lightly, causing Celestia to blush.

"There's something we need to take care of first, though," Luna said."

"What would that be Luna?" Red asked curious.

Without giving an answer, Luna lit up her horn, and a magical aura surrounded her mouth for three seconds. When it faded, she gave Red a toothy smile, revealing that her teeth were now those of an omnivore. Celestia then did the same, and embraced Lone, kissing him as she did so, making sure he felt her new teeth.

"So," Luna said, "you like?"

Red smirked flashing the fangs in his mouth "Yes, I like a lot~" He said laughing as he hugged her and Nightmare both.

"I know I like them," Lone said.

"Then come on, you," Celestia said. "We need to get there soon," she said as she changed her appearance to that of Sunny Skies, a smaller mare, with just pegasus wings and a blue mane and white coat, while Nightmare did the same as she turned into Nyx a smaller mare with normal teal eyes, a horn, and a slightly lighter coat and mane, while Luna became Star Dancer, a mare with a black coat and a white mane.

Red happily smiled as he went to lead them on to go off to eat with them at the Eclipse Cafe, having Luna and Nightmare on his arms, as Luxi would wait for her own chance later...Lone and Celestia went as well.

They arrived, and the place was packed. They had to wait ten minutes just to get a seat, and another five before they got their drinks, which consisted of tea for Celestia, water for the two disguised alicorns of the night, and non-alcoholic apple cider. Once hey ad ordered their food, which consited of a burger for Red, a steak for Nightmare, Lone, and Celestia, who discovered she liked it almost as much as cakes, and chicken tenders for Luna.

Halfway through their meal, Red got up to use the restroom. When he was leaving and heading back to table, he caught a glimpse of a pink mane he would know anywhere.

Red blinked, and gasped. That pink mane, he white skunk stripe in the mane...there's only one pony who has that style... "FLEUR!" He called spotting her as he began to walk to the pink maned mare, who was no doubt his sister, infact he actually began to run to get close to her.

She turned, a look of surprise on her face. She then saw Red, and a look of hope appeared on her face. She raised her arm and was about to say his name when, quite noticeably, she was yanked by her neck, quite violently, and was pulled out of his sight. He was both relieved to see his sister alive, but was furious that somepony would prevent her from seeing somepony she knew. He rushed back to his table, where the others were at.

"Red, what's wrong," Lone asked.

"I've found her....And darn it all she just got yanked away from me again..." He said as he sat down holding his head trying to figure out who it was, where she was at, before he would go nuts now.

Lone understood instantly, and brought his morpher up. "Swoop, we found her, but we don't know where she is specifically. Get every one involved in tracking her."

"Got it, Lone. I'll let the others know. Chrysalis is already near, and en route."

Red looked to all four of them. "I'm sorry to cut the date short but I've gotta go after her...after I get her back...we can ALL go out to eat here for real...how about that?" he asked as he began to stand up to go out and chase after his beloved sister.

The others nodded, and got up and chased after him, intending to help. "Greta's got a sight on her," Swoop said over comms. "Travelling south on 54th. Has a single unicorn in front, though no positive identification can be made. All Rangers, move in and encircle. Lethal means are prohibited. Repeat: lethal means are prohibited until Fleur De Lis has been acquired."

Red called out over the comms "Attention all Rangers, the one who has Fleur is Mine and mine alone. Is that understood? Somepony get an ID on the unicorn in front, he's likely the one that is holding Fleur captive." He said as he was racing after them, taking a shortcut to cut off the route.

"Already on it," Rush said. She was able to turn invisible on occasion as well, and she was able to get near enough to get a look at his face, but she didn't recognoze his face, so she sent it to the other Rangers. Lone was the one who identified him.

He brought his morpher up as he ran, but stopped as he saw the face. "Red, leave some of the bastard for me. I got some father issues I want to beat out of me."

"It's your father huh? Then he's all mine...I'll make him pay for everything he did to you...AND TO FLEUR!" He called as they chased him down, Red was determined to catch the stallion, and get his sister back.

Starting back up again, Lone said, "I need to do this Red, if only to get the point across that he shouldn't have done anything to me or my sister. You know what he put me through, and it's something only I can take care of by beating the crap out of him."

"Hmph. Then Leave the final blow for me....or perhaps, we both leave the final blow, for Fleur herself...I'm sure my sister would love to kill him herself." He said as they chased him to a mansion.

"Assuming she can, Stockholm syndrome and all," Lone said as he caught up with the mares.

"In which case, we take him alive so she can do it later, and make him pay even more," Red said.

"And just who is your father, Lone," Celestia said.

"Fancy Pants."

"But I though he was a noble, and married to Fleur," Luna said.

"There is no way in hell Fleur married that monster." Red said darkly as he prepared to knock down the door himself.

"Just hold on Fleur...Big Brother's coming..." He said softly

"Better watch out, Bucker. I'm coming back, and I'm going to make sure you pay me in full, and that's going to be nearly impossible, even for the princesses," Lone said as he and the mares turned on the street Rush was on as Slag came over the radio.

"Targets have entered a town house. All Rangers, converge, and breach together to ensure the target doesn't get away. Red, this means you."

"Fancy...I'm coming for you...you're gonna pay for taking my sister from me for all this time." He said as his hands began to twitch as he moved to bring up his morpher and transform, as he stayed in position to break in and take his sister back.

The others arrived soon after, Lone telling them where to breach. "Rush, Greta, Vortex, Orion: Take the side door. Nightengale, Night Shade, the back door. The rest of us will take the front door," Lone said before he morphed, as well as Celestia and the others did as well, becoming their Royal personas. "Grimlock, can we get a view inside the house?"

"Three life signs inside: Two mares, one stallion, all of them are unicorns. Can I eat the second mare?"

"That'll depend on if we let her live," Lone said.

Red also pushed a button to morph, as he began to erupt in a burning figure, as a wolf howl seemed to echo from around them as it dashed around, before chomping down over Red covering him in flames, before they subsided, revealing him in a red and silver armored suit, wielding a large red shield and sword, and silver pauldrons with wolf heads. the visor appearing to be similar to a stylized W.

Once Red was done morphing, Lone walked up to the door and knocked.

He then said, "KNOCK KNOCK, MOTHERBUCKER!" Lone yelled as he kicked the door hard enough it flew off it's hinges and shattered as it hit the wall. This was the signal for the other groups to enter.

Fear could clearly be felt in Fancy's eyes and his heart as he heard the familiar voice ringing loud and clear, as hope began to fill Fleur's heart.

Lone and Red were the first to reach the living room where the three were, with both of their helmets off. "Hello, Jackass," they both said to Fancy.

"Fleur!" Red said as he smiled at her, and with a quick swing of his blade, he cut her leash, allowing her to run free into his always welcoming arms.

Lone walked up to Fancy, who had fear in his eyes, and punched him in the face. "That's for abandoning my sister." A punch to the gut. "That's for calling her worthless." A kick to the crotch. "That's for taking a mare as a slave." A second kick. "Just because." A third kick. "For calling me worthless when I told you I didn't want anything to do with you." Fancy fell down to the floor, and Lone kicked him once in the face. "That's for getting involved in my business," he said before walking away.

"Lone..." said the second mare, whom was actually his mother.

Red held Fleur close to him, giving her head a gentle kiss as he took off the collar that was around her neck "Are you alright my sister? I've been so worried about you, looking all over for you" He said as he held her in his strong arms, her holding him as well, and crying in joy that she was now back with her big brother. Red offered Fleur his sword "Fleur...I know this stallion has tormented you for a long time...from since you were kidnapped to now....We intend to kill him...would you like to do the honors yourself?" He asked her as he glared down at Fancy.

"Of course," she said. "I think I'm lucky he didn't rape me."

"We could feed his corpse to Grimlock," Lone said. "He'd probably like the taste of jackass."

"EIther that or we keep it preserved and let you use it as a punching bag." Red said darkly as he handed Fleur his sword as Gem began to approach Lone. "Lone...my son...you...You've come back!" She said clearly in shock at what had happened.

"And why do you care?" Lone said. "You didn't do anything to stop him from throwing out Adept, or from disowning me."

In tears and falling down to her knees, Alluring Gem said, "Because I couldn't. He made me his slave just a year before your sister was born. I was the reason he kept her as long as he did. If it wasn't for how much you loved her, he would have outright killed her. I wanted to find her, but he wouldn't let me."

"Stop talking, you slut," Fancy said as he got up and lunged at her, his arm out stretched. Lone caught it, hatred in his eyes, and twisted it behind his fathers back.

"I don't care if you're a bucking god," he said in a calm anger, "if you hurt another mare, even one I'm not sure if I hate or not, or even one I do hate, I will bring you back from the dead and shoot up your kneecaps as many times as possible before I have to revive you as many times as I like," before he tossed him to Red, who punched him in the face, causing the stallion to fall on his back with a thud.

"I think you guys should go ahead and leave the house cause I'm about to.......unwind..." he said with a dark laugh as he put his helmet back on and went back at Fancy, before kicking him in the crotch, sending him into the wall, which he rebounded off of a little bit, before Red caught him with his shield, performing a shield charge, bashing them both through the wall into another room, Red even attacks him with a fireball spell he fires off from his shield, which opened up to reveal a glowing eye hidden inside it.

All or the others except Fleur left the house, though they could still hear what was going on inside. After about five minutes of this, Red gave Fleur his sword.

"He's all yours, Sister..." Red said, as he had Fancy battered and bruised, even burnt in some places, He walked beside Fleur and gave her a smile, for her to finish this fight, and end the life of their shared enemy, the same stallion who had taken her from her beloved older brother all that time ago.

She raised the blade, and, without mercy, brought it down on his neck.

Red smiled as he took the blade, and sheathed it, changing back to normal, as he held his sister close "It's finally over...and now your back with me my sister..." he said happily as he held her.

Meanwhile, outside, Lone was with the others, as well as his mother. Alluring Gem had once been a beautiful mare, with a luscious red mane, and a wonerous black coat. Now, though, she was anything but beautiful, Her mane looked disheveled, even torn in some places. She had bruises on her face, arms and legs. She wore only a rough burlap sack, and that had holes in it, nowhere near the female exclusive organs, fortunately for her. On her ankles and wrists were marks that looked like they were from shackles.

Red and Fleur soon exited, with Fancy's head in a bag, and his corpse in a duffle bag.

Gem walked to her son, her eyes still red. "What do you want, Mom," Lone said.

"I-I-I just want to apologoze for what your father-"

"He's not my father. As far as I'm concerned, I have no father," Lone interrupted.

"I just want to apologize for what Fancy did to you and your sister. He always was a perfectionist, and he always thought that mares were meant to be slaves to stallions. Sure, he treats them nicely at first, but then he wants to have them as a slave. I suppose it's fortunate that he only two he ever got was that mare, Fleur, and I."

"Why should I believe you? You didn't do anything to help me or Adept when he decided to disown me or my sister."

"Because she's telling you the honest truth....she treated me nicely and was talking to me...." Fleur explained. "She loved you and your sister...she didn't want him to get rid of either of you...." Fleur said hoping to help.

Lone looked to his mother, and saw sorrow in her eyes, but also happiness and hope. "Fine," he said, "but I won't forgive and forget right off the bat. Others would, but not me. You'll have to prove to me, and the others, that you truly are sorry, Gem."

She was upset that Lone hadn't wanted to mend the relationship, but Gem couldn't blame him. He had gone through eighteen years of Tartarus, and that wasn't including the sorrow he felt with Adept being thrown away by his father like trash.

"But I am glad somepony else cared for me in that house hold."

Gem began to cry and she went to him and just held him in a small hug, she knew that he likely didn't want it, but she wanted to if only for herself. She could only hope that he let her have it.

To her surprise though, he brought his arms around her, and embraced her in a tight hug. "I'm glad your back, Lone."

"Me, too, Gem."

Unknown location- Meanwhile

Element, or, as her birth name was, Adept Skill, was having mixed emotions right now. On the one hand, she was happy her jackass of a father was dead, and that her brother was alive. On the other, she had just lost another lapdog, as well as leverage over the Rangers, but on the first, she was glad that a family had been reunited.

"Do you want to do something, Element," Sombra said.

"Yes...but I'm unsure of what to do at the moment..." She said back in response, looking away from him.

"Might I suggest we leak this to the princesses? I imagine one of them will want to investigate personally. We then kidnap them to hold for ransom against the Rangers."

"Hmm....Perhaps...yes....that sounds like an interesting idea." She explained.

"I will see to it," Sombra said before leaving.

She nodded letting him leave. "Lone, my brother.....if only you knew who it was you fight now..." She said to herself.
