Power Rangers Starfleet
Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt was another day at Canterlot High and all the students were in walking to class. A special group of friends were walking to their history class; Rhymey, his girlfriend, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Buddy Rose, Lightning Dawn, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.
“I can't wait for history class!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Ugh. You are such an egghead, Twilight." Rainbow dash complained.
"I'm not an egghead." Twilight countered. Everybody else rolled their eyes. They walked into their history class and Lightning took his seat at his teacher's desk while his friends took to their normal seats.
Just when Lightning was about to start talking, Principal Celestia came with a new girl; she had peach skin with aquamarine hair with a pink streak in it. She wore a dirty white t-shirt with a old, faded jean jacket over top and jeans.
There were small patches of dirt on her face and her hair seemed a little messy. Also, the girl had small scratches on her arms and face too, but they were hardly noticed by the class.
"Hello Lightning, this is Sapphire Sunlight, she’s going to be a new student in your class.” she said.
Sapphire tried to his behind Principal Celestia. “She’s really shy, for some reason.”
“Alright. Sapphire, you can take your seat next to Twilight, okay?” Sapphire nodded and quickly walked over to her seat, avoiding eye contact with anybody.
And so Lightning began to teach his class. Today’s topic was World War I. As usual, Twilight answered most of the questions, but when Lightning asked for Sapphire to answer on, she just stayed quiet and looked away from him. “Sapphire? Are you okay?”
Sapphire just nodded still not saying a word. Twilight and the others could sense something was bothering Sapphire.
On the other side of the classroom, there was girl about a foot taller than Sapphire was, with long blonde hair, wearing a tilted pink beret with a matching pink sweater and white windbreaker.
This was Nikki Trent, a popular girl at the school, but definitely a Queen Bee, who liked to insult other students she regarded as nerdy.
With her were her two underlings, Amber and Dionne. Amber had long red hair and wore a black shirt with tan pants, and Dione had long black hair and she wore a white T-shirt with matching white pants.
Together, they were called “The Jazzies” a rather odd name, but Nikki picked it and no one dared question her about it for fear of her wrath. Trent, a popular girl at the school, but definitely a Queen Bee who liked to insult other students she regarded as nerdy and so far Sapphire fit that description.
Soon, class ended and the student were going to their next class. “Sapphire, can I talk to you for a moment?”
Sapphire stopped walking and turned towards Lightning, not making eye contact. “Sapphire, is there something bothering you?”
Sapphire shook her head. “Then why wouldn’t you answer when I called on you?”
Sapphire still didn’t reply. Lightning could see he wasn’t going to get an answer out of Sapphire yet so he decided to let it go… for now.
At the end of the school day, Sapphire was walking by herself through downtown when the gang came beside her. “Hey Sapphire, where are you going?” Rainbow asked.
“H-Home.” Sapphire replied, surprising the gang as to that was the first word she’s said all day.
“So where’s your home?” Buddy asked. Sapphire shrugged and quickly walked away from the gang. “Well that was weird.” Lightning commented.
Sunset was starting to become suspicious of Sapphire. “Let’s follow her.”
The others agreed and they all quietly followed Sapphire. Eventually, the came to an ally with trash cans to the mouth.
Peeking into the ally, they could see Sapphire crawling into what looked to be a makeshift shelter; a cardboard box with old blanket inside. “What is she doing in a cardboard box?” Fluttershy whispered.
They saw Sapphire take off her jean jacket and could see she was profoundly thin for her age she even had a few ribs showing. Sapphire wrapped herself in the old blanket she fell asleep.
“What’s going on?” Lightning asked. “Sleeping in a cardboard box, really thin and dirty.”
“Guys… I think she’s… homeless.” Sunset said. Everybody gasped softly.
“Homeless!” Rainbow exclaimed.
“Oh my goodness!” Fluttershy cried.
“So what do we do?” Buddy asked.
“Let’s quietly take her to Mr. Grandruler. He’ll know what to do with her.” Sunset suggested. The friends agreed and Lightning and Rainbow silently tiptoed to the box Sapphire was sleeping in and slowly lifted Sapphire out of the box and Lightning cradled her in his arms..
“Okay let’s go.” Rainbow whispered.
Soon, they arrived at the mansion and Sapphire was sleeping soundly in the living room couch with a fresh, clean blanket wrapped around her.
They told Mr. Grandruler, his wife, Principal Celestia and her younger sister, Vice Principal Luna, what they found out about Sapphire.
“My goodness.” Celestia said. “And you all just found this out?”
“Yes.” Sunset replied.
“Poor dear. No wonder she looked a little… unhealthy.” Luna said.
Fluttershy looked over at Sapphire peacefully sleeping. “So what do we do with her?”
“We’ll keep her here for a while and see how’s she’s doing.” Celesto suggested. The others nodded and all went off to do their activities, leaving Sapphire in the Grandrulers’ care.
Celesto and Celestia looked at Sapphire. “Wonder what happened to her.” Celestia wondered.
“Hopefully we’ll find out soon.” Celesto replied.
Meanwhile, On a tiny rocky island, a few hundred miles from Mystic Island, the prison tower still stood undiscovered, and still house so many different monsters and villains from the dimensional universe.
On the shores of the island, three despicable creatures, Vulcan’s former minions, wearily climbed up out of the waters where they had been swimming for weeks since falling from the sky.
Marla: A very beautiful humanoid lady. She had pale grey skin, pointy ears, long, flowing light pink hair that ran all the way near the ground. She wore a red, sparkling, armored vest with a black skirt attached and matching black boots on her feet, and long fingerless black gloves. If her ability to create more Lingos was as skillful as her diva-attitude… who knows what she’d be capable of.
Bronc: A big muscular armored creature, and the computer and technological expert of the group. He was much taller and muscular than the others. Very little of his actual body was scene as he was covered in head to toe in white and blue armor, complete with a helmet hiding his features. He almost looked robotic, but he wasn’t.
Keto: A mage, though shorter than the others, about up to Marla’s upper-body. He skin was gold colored, he wore a black witch hat, a red cape, a green robe, and he carried a long metal staff with an upside-down crescent-moon with a large red ruby in the center at the top.
All three of them were soaked to the bone and panting stressfully, “I never thought we’d make it!” cried Keto “I’ll never swim again for the rest of my life!”
Marla tweaked her nose in attempt to clear her sinuses from all that salt water. “My hair, my clothes, by nose…!” she whined “You two are going to pay for this! I MEAN IT!! It’ll take a miracle to make me beautiful again!”
Keto sighed, “How can you be thinking about all that at a time like this!”
“I think about my looks all the time.” sneered Marla.
Bronc could only grumble to himself, “I should’ve let the rangers destroy me when I had the chance than put up with this!”
The minions retreated to the top of the tower where they used to meet with Vulcan in the lab.
“What are we supposed to do now?” asked Keto.
“I don’t know!” sneered Bronc “With Vulcan gone, we need a new plan!”
“…I couldn’t agree more.” said a voice from across the room. The minions looked towards the entrance of Vulcan’s private lab and saw someone standing in the shadows.
“Who are you supposed to be?” Marla rudely asked.
The creature stepped forth, and much to the minions’ surprise, he looked exactly like Vulcan; humanoid like alien, and he wore a black armored vest, with a black overcoat, with matching black pants, black boots with spikes at the toes.
Only he was half Vulcan’s size, his scaly skin and his fiery hair were blue instead of red.
“…Vulcan?” Bronc asked in disbelief.
The creature snickered and said, “Not really. The name is Nacluv, and I’m your new boss.”
Marla raised an eyebrow, “Nacluv?”
“It’s “Vulcan” spelled backwards.” said Keto.
“That’s correct.” hissed Nacluv “Your leader, Vulcan, created me in his image and gave me his very thought patterns. His reasons were that I would continue his legacy, if in the unlikely event he’d fall. So here I am.”
“Uh, yeah… like I’m going to take orders from a shrimp.” Marla teased, “Now, if you’ll excuse me. I’m going to hit the hot-tub.”
Nacluv didn’t take kindly to her insults, and demonstrated, by blasting a blaze of fire at, just missing her, but making a huge hole in the wall, frightening her and her comrades.
“Did I forget to mention Vulcan gave me his powers as well… and they’re JUST as lethal? So maybe you ought to show a little more respect next time!”
Marla fearfully turned round, and as for Keto and Bronc, they also gave in and bowed their heads to their new master.
“That’s more like it.” hissed Nacluv. “Now, go and feed the prisoners and report back here! We’ve got a lot of work to do…”
“YES SIR!!” the three shouted, and they dashed off to get to their duties, while Nacluv sat himself in the big chair by the computers, “I think I’m going like being in charge, and my first directive: Destroy the rangers, and then conquer the world!" He laughed wickedly, but then his voice cracked, “I think I need time to work on that.”
Meanwhile, Marla was walking down the round walkways, passing by each cell and inspecting the prisoners on their looks.
“Ugh! Too dark!
Too hairy!
Ew, gross! I think I’m going to gag!”
The three creatures did not take kindly to her scoffing at them and would have loved nothing more than to teach her some respect as they hammered at their cells, snarling at her.
Marla just blew them a raspberry, “Tough bricks, boys!”
She got out her compact mirror and gazed at her beautiful face “It’s so hard to be ravishing in a world of ugly creatures.”
More creatures overhearing felt very offended and Marla then heard one of them speak out from a cell behind her, “Beauty isn’t the only thing you know…!”
Marla felt so shocked, not just by that outburst, that she nearly dropped her mirror. “That voice! Oh, no… it can’t be!” she turned and looked in the cell behind her, and inside was a female humanoid, devil-like creature with red skin, and white horns on her red. She even had a devil’s tail.
“Devila!” sneered Marla.
“It’s been a while hasn’t it, old friend!” Devila hissed.
“Ha! You and I were never anything more than partners in crime…”
Marla recalled how she and Devila were once the greatest notorious of intergalactic jewel heisters in the entire Dimensional Galaxy from their world.
With Marla’s incredible charm that could stun just about anyone, and with Devila’s cunning… as well as a super special trick she could perform… they robbed whole star-systems of their precious jewels, ores and refinery materials.
…But then, one day, while during a heist in trying to take a set of crown jewels being donated to a museum on a planet. Things went horribly wrong, Marla and Devila were about to capture the crown jewels, when Marla realized she had horrible split ends in her hair, and a hangnail, which made her scream out in shock… giving both crooks away and alerted the guards.
It also turned out that the crown jewels they tried to steal belonged to Grand Ruler Celesto, the commander-in-chief of Starfleet, and ruler of the planet Unicornicopia, whom was donating his crown jewels for a charity cause.
The ladies were caught and arrested, and from that moment on they become such bickering ninnies, that the guards threw them in separate cells in the tower.
“Why Vulcan lets an overbearing diva like you serve him directly, I’ll never know.”
Marla was losing her temper and protested, “At least I’m not trapped in a cell anymore!”
The bickering was getting so annoying, many of the prisoners hid under their mattresses to drown out the sound.
“QUIET!!!” Nacluv shouted as he appeared before the bickering ladies.
The ladies trembled before him and his look of fury and annoyance, and he unlocked Devila’s cell, turning her loose. “Since you both claimed to be old accomplishes, you can both get out there and find a way to crush those rangers.”
“WHAT?!” the ladies whined, not looking forward to the idea of working with each other again, but Nacluv flared up and thundered “…GET GOING!!”
The ladies freaked out and left the tower in the blink of an eye.
Bronc saw the whole thing, “Very well done sir.”
Nacluv snuffed “At least it stops them nagging. Now they’re the rangers’ problem.”
It was in the afternoon when the rangers returnd to Celesto’s mansion to check on Sapphire. Entering the living room, they found her sitting up eating some bacon and eggs. “Sapphire.” Fluttershy called. Sapphire looked at them and waved, “Hi.”
“Feeling better?” Lightning called. Sapphire nodded. “M-Mr. Grandruler and P-Principal Celestia are very nice.”
The rangers smiled a little. “Um… Sapphire can we ask you something?” Buddy asked.
“Umm… okay.”
“How did you end up in the alleyway?”
Sapphire sighed sadly, “It’s something I guess I have to tell you.” Unknown by any of them Mr. Grandruler and his wife came into the room. Sapphire explained,
“It all began in a hidden lab where I was created. The people who made me gave my the DNA of every single animal that ever lived on the Earth.”
“Even dinosaurs?” Lightning questioned.
“Yes. Even dinosaurs. They put me through tests to see how efficient I was with my powers; from shapeshifting to communicating with animals.
They even had genetically engineered dinosaurs in the lab they brought back to life. There were five that were my favorite. Four Velociraptors and an Indoraptor.”
“Indoraptor?!” Everybody exclaimed.
“It’s a hybrid of Indomious Rex and Velociraptor. Anyway, the raptors took care of me like I was one of their own; they kept me warm, had me food when I was hungry, they even protected me when some of the people threatened to hit me if I didn’t behave.
Then one day, two years ago, the raptors and the other dinosaurs broke free from the lab and escaped. The raptors took me with them as brought me to alley you found me in. Before they disappeared, they told me they’ll keep in touch, call on us when you need us and to stay safe. And that was the last I’ve heard of them.”
The rangers and the Grandrulers’ were amazed and shocked at Sapphire’s story. “So you’ve been living in the streets for two years!” Rainbow exclaimed with concern, “How come we never noticed you?”
“I used come out at night to avoid people, but since I’m attending school I guess I’ll have to change that. Even when I came out at night, I traveled the globe, making new animal friends.”
“So why were you avoiding eye contact with everybody?” Sunset asked.
“I was scared and I didn’t have much social interaction in isolation.” The rangers and Grandrulers’ felt pity for Sapphire.
“Well that changes today.” Rainbow said. “From now on, you’ll be with us. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about being a normal teenager.”
“Normal teenagers don’t have magic or are Power Rangers.” Sunset pointed out, giving Rainbow a look of disdain. Rainbow shrugged, “Whatever.” Sunset rolled her eyes and looked back at Sapphire. “Like we said, we’ll help you.” Sapphire smiled and hugged Sunset. “Thank you.” Sunset hugged Sapphire back as the others watched with happy faces. It looked like a bright future for Sapphire. The moment was ruined by the jewel on Celesto’s cane going off, meaning there was trouble a foot! “What’s that?” Sapphire asked.
“The red-alert. There’s trouble in town. We’d better get going guys.” Sunset replied. The rangers nodded and dashed off.
“Come on Let’s go to the base.” Twilight said and she took Sapphire’s hand, “You can come too.”
The four of them arrived in the underground base. Twilight went it the monitors and saw what was wrong. There was a hold up at the First National Bank. The goons in the suits, the hostage-- but no signs of any dangerous alien activity. Just as they saw it, it seemed to be nothing more than a simple bank holdup.
But Twilight was rather concerned about the looks of those goons on the roof. “What are you thinking?” asked Spike.
Twilight didn’t answer and began to type on her keyboard, and the scanned showed what was really going on. “Oh, no!” she cried softly.
Even Spike growled angrily at what he saw.
“I’ve got to warn them.” said Celesto, and he ran off to the radio!
At the bank roof, Marla was growing impatient as well as uncomfortable in hiding, “What’s taking those rangers so long?” she wondered.
Before long the people in the crowd began to holler…
“The Power Rangers…!”
“They’re here!”
The rangers came leaping in from out of nowhere and onto the bank roof, and they just stood where they were, not saying a word.
The goons all turned and gazed at them, even turning their hostage towards to face them, and that’s when Sunset whipped out her Star Scepter and fired at the hostage and the goons holding her.
Much to the horror of everyone in the crowd below, even the Crusaders were shocked and livid. “They… they shot the hostage?!” cried Sweetie.
“What in tarnation are they thinkin’?” snapped Applebloom.
DD looked closer, “Wait a minute… Look!”
The goons that got shot got up, revealing to be Lingos in disguise, just like all the others.
“We’re not fooled by your little trick!” sneered Sunset.
“Good thing, Twilight warned us in time.” said Buddy.
The hostage woman angrily got up, and her eyes glowed furiously red as she transformed into her true form-- Devila. “You rangers got lucky, but it won’t save you this time…
…GET THEM!!”
All the Lingos threw off their disguises and attacked the rangers.
“Let’s go, guys!” said Sunset.
It was quite brawl as the rangers fought their way through the swarm of Lingos. Then they stood to face Devila, and though she didn’t seem like it, she was rather strong and swift, which she demonstrated by blocking their every attack, and hitting them back with strong punches and kicks. She even head butt them hard in the chests with her horns, and swatted them with her long devil’s tail.
…even knocking Sunset’s scepter out of her hand, sending flying far, far off the roof and way down into the streets. “No!!” she cried.
The scepter soared far, landing far up the street. Devila laughed, “Too bad, Red Ranger. What’cha gonna do now?”
Sunset clenched her fists furiously, but before she could answer, the other rangers were suddenly grabbed by long threads of familiar pink hair.
“Marla!” shouted Sunset.
“Surprise!” Marla teased…
…That’s when Devila extended her long tail and ensnared Sunset, binding her tightly.
The rangers struggled all they could, but they couldn’t’ seem break free from bondage.
“Looks like our little trap worked out after all.” said Marla.
“Our… trap?” sneered Devila “It was MY idea.”
“Yeah, but without my help you wouldn’t have caught all the rangers, would you?”
“Shesh, you two sound like sisters fighting over a doll.” teased Rainbow. That only angered the ladies, and made Marla tighten her grip around the five rangers she had. “Take it easy, we’re not melons!” cried Buddy.
“You think that’s rough?” teased Marla “Just you wait until we take you to Vulcan. I’m sure he’ll enjoy breaking you all limb from limb as we would have.”
“But first we’re going to have a little fun of our own.” hissed Devila “Sorta… soften you up a bit!”
With that, Devila sent a wave of burning energy through her tail, harming Sunset greatly, sparks flew all around as she groaned in pain, while Marla bashed and crashed the other rangers into one another, making more sparks fly, and each slam was more harder than the last.
“We’ve… got to… get out… somehow!” screamed Fluttershy.
“Yes… OW!
But how…?” cried Rhymey.
“Wow, this is so incredible!” cried Marla “Serves you rangers right anyway for causing us so much trouble.”
Devila laughed and continued to burn at Sunset.
Down below the crowds watched in horror, but were ultimately powerless to do anything about it.
Sapphire, Twilight and Spike watched everything on the monitors, and the power levels for the suits were reading critical! “They’re getting their cans kicked.” said Spike “We’ve got to try and help them.”
“I… I don’t know what to do!” cried Twilight.
“Try activating their Able-Boost.” Celesto ordered.
“Right.” Twilight said. “Hang on guys, help is on the way.” She hit the send command, but the computers showed a flashing sign saying “Error: Cannot Transmit”
Celesto grunted in frustration, “The evil energy from the monsters is blocking the signals. The rangers need to break free first, or we can’t help them.”
Twilight and Spike whimpered in fear, and turned back to see the thrashing! Unknown by any of them, Sapphire slipped out of the main room and secretly took on of the jump tubes to the bank. When she arrived she saw Sunset’s scepter on the ground. She knew what she had to do. She just hoped it would work.
Grabbing it, she raced into the bank which was unharmed due to everybody, including the guards, busy staring up at the battle.
”Hang on guys, I’m coming.”
The rangers were already beginning to look really beat up, and the all felt very woozy.
“Can’t… defeat… us!” groaned Sunset.
Devila snickered “Oh, really… and she slammed her down hard on the ground, and Marla did the same.
“Okay, that one really hurt!” groaned Rainbow.
Marla laughed, “I think that’s about enough punishment. Time to take you rangers for a ride…”
“…To meet your end!” hissed Devila.
The rangers grunted and growled, but still were hardly able to do a thing to stop them. Suddenly, someone called out to the evil ladies, “Drop those rangers!”
“Huh?”
“What?”
The rangers looked up, and even through their weariness, they could see Sapphire, holding Sunset’s scepter.
“Sapphire!” cried Sunset.
“What are you doing here?” called Buddy.
Marla and Devila gawked at one another and then turned back to face the her. They couldn’t help but laugh hysterically. “A ranger wannabe brats? This is just too rich.” laughed Marla.
Devila’s eyes flashed red, “You believe you are match for us? Puh-Lease… we’ve beaten the real rangers, and if you value your life we’ll give you one chance to leave!”
Sapphire was growing a bit nervous, but she refused to go anywhere. “No, we’ll give you one chance.” she sneered “Let my friends go, or else!”
“Sapphire what are you doing?!” cried Fluttershy.
“Please little one!
…Just run!” Rhymey called to the her, but she still would run.
Spike and Twilight were freaking back at the base. “What is she doing?! Is she crazy?!” Spike exclaimed.
“I think she is. She’s no match for them!” Twilight added. Even Celesto looked worried, fearing for Sapphire’s life.
“You had your chance…” hissed Devila, and her eyes began to glow “You were fools to come up here, and now you’ll regret it!”
“Sapphire… Run!!” shouted Rainbow “You can’t help us! Just go!”
“I think you’ll regret messing with my friends.” Sapphire said. That’s when she did a raptor call. “Hahaha! You think that will save you give a break.” Marla sneered.
Just then, five roars came in and the Sapphire was surrounded by four Velociraptors and an Indoraptor.
The Velociraptors were all 6 feet high and 16 feet long while the Indoraptor was 10 feet high and 24 feet long
The beta (female in charge) has bluish-gray skin with a white stripe with metallic blue in the middle going horizontally from her eye orbit down to the tip of her tail. Name: Blue
The second raptor is green with black vertical stripes running down her back. Name: Charlie
The third is a teal color, with no stripes on her back or tail. Name: Delta
And finally, the fourth is brown with dark blue striping as well as having dark blue around her eyes. The most noticeable trait is the scar on the left side of her muzzle. Name: Echo
The Indoraptor’s appearance is primarily black with a golden-yellow streak running from the base of the neck to its tail, which bears strong resemblance to Blue's metallic blue streak. Name: Indigo.
The crowds below and everybody at the base were shocked.
“What the heck!” Twilight cried in shock.
“She called dinosaurs!” Spike cried.
“Of course! She said the raptors will come whenever she needs them!” Twilight explained. “She used the raptor call to contact them. That must have been her plan.”
“Let’s hope it works.” Celesto said.
The raptors were hissing at the ladies. “Your little lizards are no match for us!” Marla sneered. Marla launched her nails at them but Indigo blocked them.
It roared at Marla and pounced on her, pinning her to the ground. It used its claws to slice her pink hair, freeing the five rangers, much to Devila’s chargin.
“MY HAIR! YOU RUINED MY HAIR!” Marla screamed.
“Who cares we still have the red ranger.” Devila reminded.
“Not for long. Blue!” On command Blue dashed over to Devila and bit her tail hard. “OW!” Sunset was free and she regrouped with the others.
Devila and Marla growled at Sapphire. “You’ll pay for that!” they were about to charge when the rangers came between them. “I don’t think so.” Sunset sneered.
Knowing they were badly outnumbered and outmatched the ladies sneered. “We’ll get you next time, rangers and your little human friend as well!” and they vanished.
The crowds below cheered happily in victory. The raptors nuzzled Sapphire. “Hehe, you all did great.” Sapphire praised.
The raptors made clicking sounds as if saying ‘thank you’. The raptors turned and dashed away from the scene.
“Ahem.”
Sapphire turned towards her friends, whom were de-morphed and were staring at her with upset expressions. She laughed nervously. “Uh-oh.” she whimpered.
At the base, the rangers, Celesto, Twilight, Spike and even Krysta has Sapphire a good, long scolding for her behavior. Repeatedly saying it was irresponsible and unorthodox.
Finally, after an hour, they all calmed down.
“I’m sorry.” Sapphire squeaked.
“You should be. You could have been killed!” Lightning scolded. Sapphire lowered her head.
Sunset sighed seeing Sapphire sad, “Sapphire, we know you wanted to help us but you’re not equipped for battle, so it’s too dangerous for you to intervene. Promise you won’t intervene unless it’s necessary.”
“I promise, Sunset.” The two girls hugged each other as the others smiled at the scene. “Now come on, let’s go out for dinner.”
Sapphire nodded and followed her friends to go get something to eat.
In the shadows near the mansion, the minions were watching the rangers and Sapphire. “Time to put our plan into action.” Bronc said. He and the others snickered evilly and vanished.
