Power Rangers Harmony Force

Twas the day before Christmas, and all through Canterlot, people were bustling and hustling and celebrating a lot. Okay, enough with the rhymes, because in the Command Center, something was up.

“I simply can not believe this,” said Derpy, “Can you believe this, Spark?”

“Scientifically, this is impossible. But I have a brother who would scare the Incredible Hulk, so who am I to say something's impossible,” answered Spark.

“Derpy, please relax,” said Zodor.

“Okay, but are you sure those are the right coordinates?”

“Yes, I am sure. I have checked the coordinates multiple times already. Call the Rangers. Tell them that it’s an emergency. The fate of all of Christmas rests in their hands.”

“Of course, Zodor.”

Yesterday, Nightmare Moon’s fortress…

“Ugh, all those smiling face. All those bright, Christmas colors. It’s sickening,” says Vampress.

“Well, it is that time of year, Batbrain,” said Hyde.

“What did you just call me?”

“I called you a Batbrain. Got a problem with that?”

“Yes indeed. You’re not much better, Mutt.”

“Oh, so you want to go that far. Well then, prepare to get your wing ripped from your back and shoved down your throat.”

“Ha, I’d like to see you try to-” Vampress wasn’t able to finish because Nightmare Moon interrupted.

“Will you two useless morons be quiet? I can’t think of a plan with you two bickering like that!” she shouted angrily.

“Sorry, my queen,” said Hyde.

“I too apologize,” said Vampress.

“Okay, now I can think.”

“If I may, your majesty,” says Vampress, “Why not take the opportunity to ruin Christmas somehow?”

A wicked, skin-curtling, ear-to-ear smile crept onto Nightmare Moon’s face. Nightmare Moon had gotten an idea, an awful idea. Nightmare Moon got a wonderful, awful idea. “I know what to do. Hyde, prepare your forces to attack.”

“Of course, your majesty. Wait, attack where?”

“Well that’s the best part of the plan, isn’t it? You will be attacking the North Pole.”

“Um, what exactly do you plan to gain by attacking an Arctic wasteland?” asked Vampress.

“Don’t you see, Vampress?” asks Jackel, “Every Christmas, the one and only Santa Claus travels around the world making children happy. If we were to inconvenience Mr. Claus, then he wouldn’t be able to make all those children happy. Ergo, what her majesty is saying is that we kidnap the guy.”

“That’s the plan? The plan is to make children sad? Seriously?”

“Of course, Vampress. Hyde, you strike tonight. Hold on to your mistletoe everyone. This year, Christmas will be our’s! Mwahahahahahaha!”

Present day…

“Thank you for getting here as soon as possible, Rangers,” says Zodor.

“No problem,” says Rainbow, “We here to help aren’t we?”

“Okay, let’s just get to the point. Your assistance is needed at the North Pole,” said Spark.

“Where?” asked Applejack, “Ah’m sorry, ah don’t think ah heard you right. Did ya’ll just say ‘the North Pole’?”

“Actually yes, I did,” answered Spark, “But we will have time for questions later.”

“This is an emergency. You must get to the North Pole, ASAP. Santa Claus need your help,” said Zodor.

“Okay, I’m for it. But just one quick question. How are we supposed to get there?” asked Sunset.

“Well, I had a feeling that that question would be asked sooner or later, so I used my mechanical expertise to make a new Zord This particular Zord has the capacity to carry all of the other Zords at once. I call it the Gigazord. Come check it out.” Spark lead the Rangers to the garage.

The Gigazord was basically just a train with rocket engines on the sides. But it was still cool looking.

Once the Zords were packed into the Gigazord, the Rangers climbed aboard and the Gigazord was off. It sped out of the city using a secret tunnel, which is probably how the other Zords get out of the garage.

The train car the Rangers were in was quite luxurious, so you can assume that Rarity liked it. And you’d be right.

“You see, the Gigazord has enough speed to travel halfway around the world in an hour flat,” explained Spark, “Oh, and did I mention the free wifi? Well, I just did, so enjoy your trip on the Polar Express, Rangers.”

After a pretty boring flight, the Rangers landed in perhaps the jolliest place on Earth, the North Pole. They got off the train and a short, pointy-eared guy came to talk to them. “Hello, you must be the Power Rangers. My name is Bernard, Santa’s head elf.”

“Um, hi. My name is Sunset Shimmer and these are my friends Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. Oh, and the guy over there is Spark, our team’s mechanic.”

“Nice to meet you all.”

“So could you explain to us why we’re here?” asked Rainbow.

“Certainly. Last night, someone, or something, broke into Santa’s Workshop and kidnapped Santa himself. Without Santa, there’s no presents. And without presents, that means sad children. And I hate it when children are sad. The worst part is that we don’t know who took him.”

“Hmm, I suspect that this is the doing of Nightmare Moon,” said Rarity.

“Logically, yes that makes sense given what you’ve already been through,” said Spark.

“Nightmare Moon, ay? Come with me,” said Bernard.

He lead the Rangers into the workshop. Inside, elves were busy finishing up the last of the preparations for Christmas. Everywhere they looked there were elves, toys, and rolls of colorful wrapping paper.

The Rangers were then lead through a door marked ‘Santa’s Office’.

“Let’s see. Where’s the-ah, there it is. The Naughty List,” Bernard said, picking up a large book, “So, Nightmare Moon. Here we go. According to the Naughty List, ‘Nightmare Moon lives in a fortress on the Moon. Though, it doesn’t have very good defenses, because it’s on the Moon.”

“Mmhmm, so how do we get there? I don’t suppose the Gigazord can go into space. Can it?” asked Rarity.

“Unfortunately, no.” answered Spark.

“Oo, oo, I have an idea!” shouted Pinkie, “We can take Santa’s sleigh.”

“That’s a good idea, Pinkie,” said Bernard, “The sleigh was engineered for high altitudes and low oxygen. It has built in oxygen masks. Plus, the sleigh tachyon-powered, allowing for it to travel at the speed of light. How else would Santa be able to visit every house in the world in one night?”

“Okay, but what if we can’t all fit in the sleigh?” asked Applejack.

“Do you know how big Santa’s sack is? It’s filled with presents for boys and girls all around the world. I’m pretty sure that the sleigh can handle five teenage girls.”

“Well, seems it’s all in order. Let’s do this!” said Rainbow excitedly.

After a half an hour of preparing the sleigh, they took off.

“This is so amazing!” shouted Pinkie, just before the sleigh went supersonic.

Slowly, the sleigh increased in speed. Past mach 2, 3, 4, and you get the point. In what seemed like no time at all, the sleigh was already flying over the moon’s surface.

Then Bernard, who I forget to mention was flying the sleigh, spotted a dark and ominous fortress. Nightmare Moon’s fortress. It wasn’t very big, but it was still impressive.

The sleigh landed not far from it.

“Rangers, you might want to morph now,” suggested Bernard, “There’s no telling what dangers lay inside.”

“Alright. Rangers, it’s morphin’ time!” said Sunset.

A beam of pink light shoots up from Pinkie’s morpher, making her cutie mark appear in the sky. Down from it comes a shimmering form of a fairy. Pinkie jumps towards her cutie mark and goes through it, making a pink bodysuit-and-skirt appear on her. She landed in front of another cutie mark and her helmet appeared, the visor shaped like a balloon. Pinkie twirls her cape and poses in front of a tornado. “Random as wind, Pink Harmony Ranger!”

A beam of white light shoots up from Rarity’s morpher, making her cutie mark appear in the sky. Down from it comes a shimmering form of a unicorn. Rarity jumps towards her cutie mark and goes through it, making a white bodysuit-and-skirt appear on her. She landed in front of another cutie mark and her helmet appeared, the visor shaped like a diamond. Rarity twirls her cape and poses in front of a mountain. “Unbreakable as crystal, White Harmony Ranger!”

A beam of yellow light shoots up from Applejack’s morpher, making her cutie mark appear in the sky. Down from it comes a shimmering form of a wolf. Applejack jumps towards her cutie mark and goes through it, making a yellow bodysuit appear on her. She landed in front of another cutie mark and her helmet appeared, the visor shaped like an apple. Applejack twirls her cape and poses in front of a giant tree. “Strong as a tree, Yellow Harmony Ranger!”

A beam of blue light shoots up from Rainbow’s morpher, making her cutie mark appear in the sky. Down from it comes a shimmering form of a pegasus. Rainbow jumps towards her cutie mark and goes through it, making a blue bodysuit-and-skirt appear on her. She landed in front of another cutie mark and her helmet appeared, the visor shaped like a lightning bolt. Rainbow twirls her cape and poses in front of a thunderstorm. “Fast as lightning, Blue Harmony Ranger!”

A beam of red light shoots up from Sunset’s morpher, making her cutie mark appear in the sky. Down from it comes a shimmering form of a phoenix. Sunset jumps towards her cutie mark and goes through it, making a red body suit-and-skirt appear on her. She landed in front of another cutie mark and her helmet appeared, the visor shaped like a sun. Sunset twirls her cape and poses in front of a setting sun. “Powerful as the sun, Red Harmony Ranger!”

The Rangers approached the fortress. Out of it came several Bat Soldiers, which the Rangers easily beat.

Inside…

“They’re still coming, your majesty,” said Hyde, “Should I sent out a monster?”

“No, let them come. In fact, release the prisoner.”

“What? Why?”

“They have proven themselves as determined and dangerous enemies. They are strong. But they need more practice if they wish to face us. Release the prisoner. Allow them to have a merry little Christmas.”

“Are you sure, my queen?”

“Yes. This is only phase one of my plan. There’s plenty more to it. This is only the beginning.”

“Okay, as you wish.”

Back with the Rangers…

“Ha, this is too easy,” said Rainbow, giving a Bat Soldier a black eye.

“Hey, look!” said Pinkie, pointing towards the fortress’s gate. It was wide open and a troop of Bat Soldiers were escorting Santa outside. Once outside the gate, the Bat Soldiers just unchained Santa and went back inside. The Bat Soldiers the Rangers were fighting also fled.

“Thank you, girls for coming to my rescue,” said Santa.

“No problem, Mr. Claus,” said Pinkie, “Or do you prefer ‘Mr. Kringle’?”

“Just ‘Santa’ will do, Pinkie Pie.”

“You know my name?”

“Well of course, I’m Santa Claus. As the song goes, ‘He see you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He know if you’ve bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.’ Did you really not think that I knew your secret? It’s hard to top fighting monsters to protect a city when it comes to being good.”

“Well then. Let’s get going back to Earth. I have a bad feeling about this,” said Sunset.

They all get back on the sleigh and take off.

The next morning, Christmas day…

Fluttershy wakes up and walks out to her living room. As would be expected, there were presents under the tree. But there was one present in particular that stood out more than the rest: a small present covered in green wrapping paper with butterfly print on it.

Since her parents were still asleep, and she couldn’t resist opening, she very quietly unwrapped it. Inside was a bracelet. Fluttershy then read the card that came with it;

“Dear Fluttershy,

You may be wondering why I would give you a bracelet for Christmas. Well the truth is, it’s no ordinary bracelet. Spark programmed this bracelet to double as a communicator and teleportation device, and it is only to be used in emergencies. This is just a precaution, in case of we are unable to do their Ranger duties.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas,

Sunset Shimmer”

Fluttershy put the bracelet on. She knew that if this had to do with the Rangers, it had to be important. After all, if the Rangers were unable to do their duties, then the world would be in deep trouble.

Later that day, the Command Center…

“It was too easy. They just gave him back,” said Sunset, “I have a terrible feeling about this.”

“Hmm, I suspect that Nightmare Moon has something big planned,” said Zodor, “There’s no way she would give up a prisoner, let alone a Santa Claus, without something big planned.”

“I really don’t want to think about what Nightmare Moon could be planning, but I’ll help in any way I can,” said Derpy.

“Coming through,” said Spark, pulling a large crate.

“‘Fra-gi-le’, it must be Italian,” said Derpy, mispronouncing the words on the crate.

“Actually Derpy, it’s pronounced ‘fra-gile’,” Spark corrected.

“Oh, my bad.”

“Um, Spark, what’s in the box?” asked Sunset.

“Oh, just some new lights for the Command Center. I’ve noticed that the lights have been flickering a lot lately. But this is just so that we’re ready for when the lights fail, which shouldn’t be for a few weeks. Carry on.”

“Okay, that happened.”

“Sunset, I wouldn’t worry about Nightmare Moon right now. It’s Christmas, enjoy yourself,” said Zodor.

“Okay, Zodor. I guess you’re right. Merry Christmas.”

“Merry Christmas.”

Nightmare Moon’s fortress…

“Why must we have released him, my queen? Why?” asked Hyde.

“He served his purpose in the plan; to prove I could take anyone prisoner and not fail. Now we move onto phase 2,” said Nightmare Moon.

“What is phase 2?”

“For now, let’s just say that by the time phase 2 is over, there will be no one left to stop us. Mwahahahaha!”
