My Brave Pony: Power Rangers Starfleet

Sapphire found herself in a strange place; a void filled with stars containing animal constellations all around. It was... beautiful. “Woah.” she gasped.

“Sapphire Sunlight.” a voice called. Comet turned, "Whose there?" and saw a figure behind her. It was teenage boy with short, blue hair and he was peach colored. “Who are you?”

“My name is Flash Sentry. I am a friend of Sunset Shimmer and her friends."

"W-What are you doing here?" Sapphire inquired. "I am here to tell you of a weapon that will aid you in battle.”

“A weapon?”

“Like your friends they all have a weapon they use in battle and now it's time that you have one of your own. The weapon is called the Flora and Fauna Scepter or of you rather the Animal scepter .”

“Animal Scepter ?”

“It is an all powerful scepter that allows the user to unleash the power of nature and animal attacks."

"So it's like what I've been doing now?"

"Yes, but you can only use one or the other; not a combination. Long ago, this weapon entered our world from the Dimensional Universe. It landed in an ancient temple somewhere on the planet. It's location has been kept secret cause it would be feared that in the wrong hands, the scepter would be used for great evil. But I believe that you are the one who is worthy of possessing this scepter and the power behind it.”

Sapphire nodded to Flash, "So how do I find this scepter?"

Flash smirked, "That's something you'll have to find out on your own; look in your locker and bring all the Elements of Harmony that you've unlocked."

"Why?" Sapphire asked confused.

"You'll find out." That's when the void began to waver and everything faded out.

Sapphire awoke in a shock, startling Snowflake and Midnight. They roared in concern, "I'm alright. Just a... dream." Her dream seemed so real, she believed it was true. If she was going to find a powerful weapon, she’s going to need help.

That Saturday morning, she gathered up all the rangers and Twilight and told them about her dream. "How did Flash even know about you?" Fluttershy questioned.

“Are you sure Flash told you about this?” Rainbow asked.

“Yes.” she replied.

“Weird, this sorta thing happens to ponies, not humans.” Sunset stated, confused.

“Let’s worry about that later." Lightning said. "Right now, it sounds like this Flora and Fauna Scepter is really strong.”

“Flash said it is extremely powerful.” Sapphire agreed. "And in the wrong hands, it will be used for great evil."

“So the first clue to finding the scepter is looking in your school locker?” Buddy asked. Comet nodded."But what do you need your Elements of Harmony for?" Sunset inquired.

"Flash said I would find out soon." Sapphire replied.

“Well we’d better start looking.” Fluttershy added. What the rangers didn’t know was that Keto was watching them and heard everything! “Wait till the others hear about this.” he whispered.

He teleported back to Prison Tower and told the others.

“Soooo, the rangers are going on a little treasure hunt to find a hidden weapon which they plan to use against us.” Keto stated.

Bronc winced once, “Oh, are they now?”

Marla poked into the room, “Treasure? Weapon…? Sounds like something maybe we could use as well. We’ll just have to find it before they do.”

“Indeed.” Bronc stated, “…And I know just the monster that can help us.”

He led his comrades to a cage where a monster named Prospector sat. He looked very much like his name, a plump yet strong looking monster, with a shaggy beard and a bent up cowboy hat. He was armed with sticks of dynamite on a sash, a strong shovel and a sharp pick on his back.

His weapons couldn’t help him while he was locked up, but he was very surprised when his cell was opened. “What in tarnation is goin’ on?” he asked.

“Get up, Prospector!” said Marla “You’re coming with us on a little treasure hunt.”

At first, Prospector didn’t seem interested, “I’ve been in this here cell for over a-hundred years, and I ain’t about to leave for…” he suddenly snapped upright, “…“Treasure” did you say? Well, saddle up and let’s ride! YEE-HAW!!”

Marla and Keto were starting to feel unimpressed.

Meanwhile, the rangers contacted Celesto and asked for him to unlock the school. When he was told of Sapphire's dream, he, too, was rather enthusiastic of seeking this powerful item. Sapphire was wearing the Elements of Loyalty, Kindness and Generosity on her wrists.

It was rather dark inside the school, being that it was Saturday so no one was present, so Celesto used the built-in flashlight in his cane to light the way to Sapphire's locker. She unlocked her locker but when they looked inside, nothing appeared to be there. “There’s nothing in here.” Rainbow said.

“Darn, maybe Sapphire's dream really was a dream.” Spike added.

“Wait.... I don’t remember there being a button at the back of my locker.” Comet said. Celesto shined his light into the locker and sure enough there was a small, red button in her locker that wasn’t there before. “What do you think it does?” Rainbow asked.

“Only one way to find out.” Comet pressed the button and the bottom of the locker opened up and a stone floated up and into her hands.

The stone was white with a variety of flora and animal symbols and footprints covering it. Twilight scanned it with her alien scanner, “That’s definitely not Earth origin, but I can’t figure out what it is.”

“So how is this thing supposed to help us find the Scepter?” Buddy asked.

“I’ve seen a stone like that before, it’s a tracking stone; the closer you get to the object, the faster and brighter the stone will glow.” Sunset added.

“Ummm, guys,” Fluttershy said, nervously. “the stone’s glowing!”

Everybody looked and indeed the stone was glowing and so was Sapphire's elements of harmony! “Guys?” she glowed brighter and brighter. The gang covered their eyes and when they opened them Sapphire was gone! All that was left were a few sparkles and a scorch mark in the shape of dog's paw

“Wh-What happened?” Fluttershy asked.

“Sapphire! She’s gone!” Buddy cried.

“Where’d she go?” Rainbow cried.

Sunset studied the sparkles left behind and gasped, “The stone... and the elements... teleported her away!”

“TELEPORTED?!” the rangers cried.

“Teleported her where?” Lightning asked.

“I don’t know.” Sunset replied.

“Oh, not good.” Twilight groaned. "She could be anywhere in the world now!"

“What do we do?” Spike asked.

“Let’s get to the base and see if we can track her.” Celesto suggested. The others agreed and rushed to the base, hoping Sapphire was alright.

In a puff of smoke, Sapphire appeared on her stomach in the middle of very lush forest and the stone was at her side.

“*Cough Cough* Wh-What happened?” Looking around she didn’t find any sign of her friends.

“Sunset... Lightning.... Anybody?” She called out but got nothing in response. The light was shining through the treetops and she heard birds chirping and monkey's cries echoing through the forest. “Okay, so I’m all alone in a big, scary forest with no supplies and just a glowing stone.” Sapphire said to herself. She touched the upper, right side of her chest. “Well I do have my morpher, so that’s good.” Seeing the stone and her elements blinking slowly, she knew she had to continue on. “Well I’d better find the scepter and hope my friends find me.”

With that she walked off into the forest. After about two hours, she came across a large pit of mud. “Oh dear. How am I gonna get across this?” The trees were hanging over the mud pit. Sapphire noticed the small openings between the trees branches and figured that she couldn't change into a small bird to get through there, so she only had once choice. She didn’t see any vines she could swing on or anything she could walk across the mud on. “Looks like I have no choice. I’ll have to... *gulp*.... walk across it.”

Carefully wading into the mud with the stone and elements held high, she walked into the mud which got deeper the further she went in. Halfway, the mud was up to her stomach. “Gross.” she whimpered. Soon, she was out of the mud with her pants and half her shirt covered in mud. “Ugh, I’m definitely going to need a bath after this.”

Pushing through, she kept walking forward until she came to a large cliff. Her hair had some leaves in it and she had some scratches on her face and arms. The stone and elements was blinking faster and faster. Soon it begins blinking really fast and Sapphire saw huge temple ruins.

Tree roots covered some of it and it was coated with moss and vines in the distance. “That must be the place.” She walked down the cliff and towards the castle, going through bushes and wiping sweat from her head from the intense heat. Finally she reached the entrance. “Well here goes nothing.” With that, she entered the castle, unaware that the minions and Prospector were watching from the brush.

“We’ve got her now.” Marla hissed.

“Come on let’s follow her.” Bronc ordered.

The others agreed and followed Comet into the castle ruins.

Meanwhile, Twilight was working frantically to try and locate Sapphire, “Anything yet, Twilight?” Lightning asked.

“Nothing yet.” She replied.

“I hope she’s okay.” Fluttershy said. Rhymey placed a hand on his girlfriend’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry we’ll find a way,
And make sure that’s she’s okay.” Rhymey reassured.

“Guys! I’ve got something!” Twilight called.

“What is it?” Celesto asked.

“Some alien DNA coming from the Amazon Rainforest.”

“Amazon Rainforest?” Rainbow said. “Why would alien DNA be coming from there?”

“It must be Vulcan's minions!” Lightning growled. “But why would they be there?” Spike asked.

“... That's probably where Sapphire and the scepter are!” Sunset cried. Everybody gasped in horror. “Those creeps must have followed so thy could steal the scepter!” Buddy stated.

“We’ve got to get there and fast!” Fluttershy cried. “Who knows what those brutes will do to Comet.”

“Right, Let’s go!” Sunset snapped. The team immediately morphed and prepared their star jets for departure. Lightning rode in the backseat of Sunset’s star jet.

“Ready everybody?” Sunset asked.

“Green Ranger: read to fly.”

“Blue Ranger: Let’s kick it.”

“Yellow Ranger: Ready and Steady.”

“Pink Ranger: Um… Okay.”

“Let’s go!” Sunset added.

BOOM! The star jets blasted off to the Amazon Rainforest full speed ahead. "Hang on Sapphire, we're coming."

Just then, the team heard a loud roar and look to the side. "Is that... Jaguin Zord?!" Buddy exclaimed in shock. The hybrid Zord came to the side of the jets. "Yep, that her." Sunset stated. The Zord turned to the team and nodded her head forward. "Something tells me she coming with us." Fluttershy claimed.

"I think you're right, Fluttershy." Lightning said. "Full speed ahead."

Meanwhile, Sapphire was walking down a long dark tunnel with only the stone to guide her. “It’s really... gulp... dark in here.” She whimpered. Her stomach then growled loudly and she groaned and placed hand on her stomach. “I’m starving.” she said. “I really should have brought something to eat.”

Then, she came to two separate tunnels, “Great. Now which one should I take?” Suddenly, the stone began floating out of her hands, glowing and blinking fast. Floating over to the right tunnel it floated down the tunnel, “Wait!” Sapphire called out as she chased after the stone. The stone led her to a huge room filled with plants, flowers and animal drawings and prints. “Woah.”

She gazed around with sparkles in her eyes. She's never saw anything so beautiful in her life.

She spotted the stone floating in the middle of the room. Walking over to it she saw that she was standing in a large spiral marking. The stone floated into the spiral, causing it to light up.

Suddenly the whole room began to rumble and quake, “Woah! What the-!”. Just then the spiral fell into darkness, leaving Sapphire with nothing to stand on. “... Uh oh.” Comet fell down the long hole screaming at the top of her lungs, then she landed with a loud 'THUD', on her stomach, knocking the wind out of her.

“Oooooooh, that.... really hurt.” she groaned.

She slowly got her feet and gazed at the room. There were four light hanging from the ceiling. There were some pillars with animal carvings and pictures engraved in them. At the end of the room sat a small podium with an item floating above it. It was a scepter. It had a yellow staff and mount with a circular jewel with the mark of a paw in the center. “The Flora and Fauna Scepter!” Sapphire slowly walked up to the podium and took the scepter off the podium. The jewel glowed brightly in her hands and lines of it's magic slithered up her arm and into her body. She felt a rush of power rush through her body and her eyes flashed for a second. "Woah." she gasped.

The tranquil moment was ruined when… “Nice staff, ranger.” a menacing voice stated. Sapphire gasped in horror and turned around. She saw Marla, Bronc, Keto and Prospector slowly walking towards her threateningly.

“W-What are you doing here?” she asked nervously.

“Why else?” Keto replied. “For the Scepter.”

“Hand it over missy, and no one gets hurt.” Prospector threatened. Sapphire held the scepter tightly and backed away from the villains until she was against the podium. “Just hand over the staff, ranger.” Marla added.

“N-Never!” Sapphire tapped her morpher, ready to morph. “Not so fast!” Bronc fired his laser eyes at the morpher, causing it to explode and fall to the floor, completely destroyed! She gulped nervously. “Uh-oh.”

“Oh yes.” Bronc snickered. “Since you’re not giving us the scepter willingly, we’ll have to take it by force.” The villains were only a feet away from Sapphire when…

“Comet Trail... Fire!”

The villains were hit and sent flying back. “Guys!” Sapphire cried happily. The rangers leapt down from the ceiling in front of Sapphire.

“Are you okay, Sapphire?” Sunset asked.

“I am now,” she responded. “but my morpher isn’t.” She pointed to the destroyed morpher. “Don’t worry, we’ll protect you.” Rainbow promised.

“That’s a promise you won’t be able to keep.” Keto snarled. The villains stood up again and charged the rangers. The rangers charged the and brawled.

Marla battled with Buddy and Sunset, punching and kicked them hard, and while they blocked her attacks with their arms and legs, she tripped them up with her long hair. “Have a nice trip?” she teased, and then she launched her nails at them. The two rangers barely managed to roll out of the way, but as they looked ahead, they could see Prospector…!

“Give it up missy.” Prospector demanded. Sapphire backed away in fear.

Rhymey and Fluttershy saw the monster and dashed for him, “Oh, no you don’t!” Keto sneered, and he raised his staff shouting, “Surge Song!” casting his mugic upon himself, his comrades and Prospector, increasing their strengths and speed.

“Nice!” hissed Marla, and she punched Buddy and Sunset hard in their chests making sparks fly.

Bronc blasted Rainbow hard and Keto took one swing of his staff, like a bat, and sent Rhymey and Fluttershy soaring off and crashing onto the ground.

“Guys..!!” Sapphire cried. Just then, Marla wrapped her up in her hair, forcing her to drop the staff. “No! The scepter!” She cried.

The villains chuckled and Keto approached it, “This scepter is as good as ours!” he declared.

“Not good!” Sunset cried.

However, when Keto touched the scepter, it shocked him with high voltage of electricity, sending him flying back and the into Marla, freeing Sapphire.

“Watch it!” She yelled.

“It’s not my fault!” Keto retorted, “the thing shocked me!”

“Umm, Guys.” Bronc said, pointing at the scepter, which was now floating in the air and glowing. “What’s going on?” Lightning asked. None of the others knew what was happening.

The scepter floated into Sapphire hand and made her glow as well. “Let’s see what this baby can do!” She exclaimed.

She pointed the scepter at the villains and a Falcon spirit burst from the orb and ruthlessly slashed the villains with its wings, sending them into the wall. “Awesome!” Rainbow cried. The spirit opened it mouth and launched a blue beam of energy at the villains, damaging them more. “Ugh! I’m leaving!” Keto said.

“Us too.” Marla and Bronc added in unison. The minions teleported at the last second. "Hey, what about me?!" Prospector cried. He beam got closer and Prospector was hit. He exploded and was imprisoned in a capture sphere.

“Alright Sapphire!” Buddy cried. The spirit squawked, vanished and Sapphire stopped glowing and felt extremely exhausted. She closed her eyes and collapsed on the ground.

“SAPPHIRE...!!!”

Sapphire's eyes fluttered open and she was eight blurry figures in front of her.

"Is.... be.... alright?"

"I'm....she.... fine... shy."

“.... he.... wak..... up.”

Her vision cleared and she saw the rangers, Celesto and Twilight looking at her. “Hey sleepy head.” Sunset said, “how are you feeling?”

Sapphire groaned and sat up, holding her aching head. “A little woozy. What happened?”

“You used the Scepter and trashed the monsters!” Rainbow exclaimed.

“But you collapsed afterwards.” Lightning added.

“Why?” Sapphire asked.

“It was because, after using it for the first time , it left you really weak. It’s like your guys Able-Boost.” Twilight started.

“So she will have to use the scepter as a last resort then?” Rainbow asked.

“Not quite.” Twilight quickly added. “The more times she uses the scepter, the less tired she’ll feel, eventually she can use the scepter and infinite amount of times.” She looked and saw the scepter was sitting on a table not far from her. “Looks like you have some training to do, Sapphire.” Fluttershy said. Sapphire looked a little nervous.

“Don’t worry, we’ll help you,
You’ll master your scepter through and through.” Rhymey reassured.

Sapphire gratefully smiled at her friends. “Thanks guys.” Suddenly, everybody heard a gurgling sound, they looked at her, who had an embarrassing expression on her face while holding her empty stomach.

“Umm... excuse me.” she said, sheepishly.

The friends giggled. “Let’s get you something to eat. Sounds like you’re starving.” Sunset suggested. “Okay.” With that, everybody went out for dinner.
