My Brave Pony: Power Rangers Starfleet
Episode 12: Sticky Problem
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSapphire and the rangers were at Celesto’s mansion to help Sapphire train with her Animal Scepter. It's been two days since she recovered it from the temple in the Amazon Rainforest. Rhymey and Fluttershy set up four targets about ten feet from her. The others and all of the adults were watching from the side.
“Okay Sapphire, blast these targets with your staff.” Celesto stated.
“Yes, sir.” Sapphire replied. "Falcon Slash! Lion Pounce!" A falcon and male lion spirit came out of the orb and slashed all the targets in half. “Awesome!” cried Rainbow.
The spirit returned to the orb.
Sapphire fell to her knees, breathing heavily. Her friends came to her side, instantly. “Comet! Are you okay!?” Lightning asked.
“Yeah.” she replied, having caught her breath, “I’m okay.”
“Excellent work, Sapphire. I’ve monitored the energy being emitted every time you summon an animal spirit.” Twilight said. “It’s more powerful than the rangers’ Star Slammer!”
The rangers were amazed by this but Sapphire was still looking down. “Sapphire, what’s wrong?” Sunset asked.
“I still can’t use the scepter without barely passing out.” She complained, “I’ll never be able to fully use them in battle.” The friends knew that she was very discouraged with this situation. “Yes you will Sapphire. It just takes time.” Buddy replied.
“I agree,
You’ll master it in one, two, three.” Rhymey reassured.
Sapphire smiled at her friends. Suddenly the jewel on Celesto’s cane and the rangers morphers began to glow red, meaning there was danger a foot! “What now?” Lightning asked. Vice-Principal Luna came running towards the group. “There’s a monster in the park!” She cried.
“Let’s go!” Sunset called. The others agreed and dashed off to the park.
The monster was trapping people in thick globs of jelly. It had a jelly-like body with thick arms and legs. His name was Stickster. “”This is fun!” he cried.
“Fun’s over!” Stickster turned around and saw the rangers, morphed and ready to battle.
“Like moths to a light.” Stickster sneered.
“Let’s those people go now!” Lightning yelled.
“Never! Lingoes! Attack!” At his command an group of Lingoes came forth and charged the rangers. The ranger broke through the Lingoes, leaving them to Sapphire while they fought Stickster.
They punched and kicked him, however, Stickster skillfully blocked every attack and punched them back.
“Eat this!” he called and laughed five separate globs of jelly at the rangers, trapping them.
“He’s got us!” cried Rainbow.
Lightning tried to wiggle out, “It’s too thick. I can’t move!” Sapphire defeated all the Lingoes and saw this. “Oh no!” she cried.
Meanwhile at the base, Twilight and Spike saw everything on the monitors. “Now what?” Spike asked.
Twilight tried to send them a signal to their morphers but it failed, “That jelly is blocking the Able-Boost signal!” she cried. “Without it they can’t break free.”
“What about Sapphire?” Krysta asked, “she’s still free.”
“Right, but she can’t use scepter, it’s too risky.” Twilight stated.
“Let’s just wait and see what happens.” Celesto replied.
Stickster started to walk towards the rangers, preparing to the kill! “Say goodbye rangers!”
“What do we do?” Fluttershy whimpered.
Suddenly...
“Utahraptor Slash!!” a ghostly Utahraptor came and slashed Stickster, sending him flying and it clawed the jelly, freeing the rangers.
“Mercy me,
We are free!” Rhymey cried.
“But how?” Buddy asked.
“Look!” Sunset cried, pointing at Sapphire, who had her scepter held high. The spirit roared and returned by to the orb. Comet fell to her knees again in exhaustion. Stickster got up and snarled, “You’ll pay for that, ranger!” He launched a blob of jelly at Sapphire.
“Oh,
No!” Rhymey cried.
“Sapphire! Look out!” Rainbow cried.
Sapphire looked up and tried to move, but using the staff made her too weak and was trapped in the jelly. The force made her drop her scepter.
“NO!” Sunset cried.
“HAHAHAHA!” Stickster laughed. He approached the trapped ranger. “Now Let’s take you to the boss.”
“Get him!” Sunset called. The rangers rushed towards him but he teleported away with Sapphire. “Ugh! He got away!” Lightning grunted.
“With Sapphire.” Buddy added. Sunset walked over to Sapphire's scepter and gripped it tightly.
Sapphire knew that using the scepter would make her vulnerable to attack but she did it anyway and saved her friends but she wasn’t caught in the process. She basically sacrificed herself for her friends.
“Come on, let’s get to the base!” Lightning stated.
The others agreed and rushed to the jump-tube. Entering the base, Celesto greeted them. “Are you okay, rangers?”
“We’re okay sir, but we have to find Sapphire and fast!” Lightning stated.
“Before those creeps do who knows what to her.” Rainbow added.
“On it!” Twilight said. While Twilight tried to track Sapphire, the others silently prayed that she was okay.
Stickster had brought Sapphire to the forest near Canterlot High, where Vulcan and his minions were. “Excellent work, Stickster!” Vulcan exclaimed.
“Thank you, master.” Stickster replied.
“Now we’ll finally get rid of this pest!” Marla added.
“Wait!” Nacluv said, “Why destroy her, when we can just steal her magic and use it for ourselves?”
The minions and Stickster liked that idea, but Comet didn’t. “And I’ve got the perfect machine to do it.” Bronc added. Comet gulped nervously. “Please hurry, guys.”
Back at the base, Twilight was still attempting to track Sapphire. “Anything yet, Twilight?” Celesto asked.
“Not yet, sir.” She replied.
“Oooh. I hope she’s okay.” Fluttershy said.
“Don’t worry, we’ll find her soon,
Before she meets her doom.” Rhymey reassured.
“I hope you’re right, buddy.” Lightning added.
“Guys! I found her!” Twilight cried.
“Where is she?” Rainbow asked.
“She’s at the forest near the school.” she replied.
“Come on guys, Let’s go get our friends back!” Rainbow stayed. Everybody cheered in agreement and headed towards the jump-tubes.
Comet was still struggling to get out of the jelly while the villains chuckled. “You’re wasting your time, Dinosaur Ranger.” Marla sneered.
“Time to take your magic. Keto.” Vulcan stated.
Keto nodded and approached Sapphire. She gulped nervously, ”I’m doomed”
Suddenly, blasts came in, sending Keto flying back towards his comrades. “Who did that?” Vulcan bellowed.
The rangers landed in front of Sapphire, “We did!” Sunset called.
The monster growled frustrated while Sunset blasted the jelly and set Sapphire free. “Are you okay Sapphire?” Lightning asked.
“I’m okay, you guys.” she replied.
“Thank goodness you’re safe.” Fluttershy added.
“AGH! Stickster get them!” Vulcan bellowed.
Stickster nodded and charged the rangers while Vulcan and the minions teleported back to Prison Tower.
Stickster skillfully blocked the rangers attacks and punched and blasted them. Sapphire couldn’t morph because the jelly jammed her morpher, but she still had some tricks up her sleeve. She changed into a Jaguar and pounced onto Stickster. The rangers moved out of te way to give her some space. "Agh! Get off of me!" Stickster cried. Sapphire dug her teeth into his shoulder and slashed him with her claws covered in fire energy. "Agh!"
Sapphire wrestled Stickster to the ground and actually tossed him across the ground. "Amazing!" Rainbow said. Sapphire formed a large pulse of fire in her mouth and blasted Stickster. He started sparking, getting ready to exploded. However, before he could...
“Keto!” Vulcan stated.
“Yes master, FORTISSIMO!” He launched his mugic to Mystic Island and made Stickster grow. “Let’s get sticky!”
Sapphire growled and transformed next into her normal self.
“Launch Star Jets.” Sunset ordered.
“Summon Zords!”
“Comet Striker, Armor up!” Lightning shouted as he grew big and his armor encased him.
”Jet Star Megazord… Ready!”
“Comet Striker… Ready!”
“HA! Stay still!” Stickster said and he launched two large blobs of jelly at the Zords, trapping them.
“He’s got us!” Rainbow cried. The rangers pounded the controls and Lightning shook to get out but nothing worked.
Sapphire saw everything from the he ground. "Smilodon Zord, I choose you!"
The Zord burst from it's hiding spot and leaped onto the scene, beaming Sapphire into the cockpit. Stickster was approaching the trapped zords. “Time to end you rangers. he said.
“What do we do?” Fluttershy whimpered. Just as Stickster was about to blast them, a large stream of ice blasted him away from them. “Argh! Who did that!?” he demanded.
That’s when everybody was the Smilodon Zord standing in front of the trapped Zords. "You'll have to get through me if you want my friends." Stickster just laughed at the Zord. “That tin can is no match for me.” He launched multiple jelly blobs at the Zord but it fired ice energy at the blobs actually freezing them and they fell to the ground, breaking into multiple pieces on impact. "What?!"
Smilodon Zord growled and blasted Stickster hard with it's ice, knocking him to the ground.
The Zord then went to the trapped zords. “Don’t worry guys, I’ll get you out of there.” Smilodon Zord froze the blobs with it's ice attack nd slashed the blobs, breaking them and freeing the Comet Striker and Jet-Star Megazord.
“Alright Sapphire!” Buddy called.
“Now let’s finish him!” she added. Stickster whimpered at the sight of the three zords. Prepare for Star Blast Wave! Charging up…!”
The zord’s chest armor, arms and head all glowed brightly as pulsing flashes appeared.
“Energy Charge, Ready!”
”ULTIMATE ICE!”
The Smilodon zord trumpeted and began charging Stickster, covering itself in massive amounts of ice energy.
“Whoa! Hey! You can’t do this to me!” cried Stickster
“Oh, yes the can…” hollered Lightning, “Do it, guys!”
With the energy systems charged, the rangers all shouted together,“STAR BLAST WAVE… FIRE!!” and at once… POW… the zord fired four major streams of energy combining it all into one big golden wave of power that coated the Zord, increasing its power ten-fold!
The Zord rammed Stickster, he exploded, shrank down and was captured in a sphere. “Monster Captured! Mission Complete!” Sunset declared. The Smiolodon Zord roared in victory.
Back at the tower, Nacluv and the minions were outraged. “ AGH! They beat us again!” Marla yelled.
“We’ve got to do something about them now.” Bronc said.
“We will, trust me. Those rangers will be sorry they messed with our business.” Vulcan stated. The minions looked forward to what Vulcan had planned.
When the rangers got back to base with their catch, “With Sapphire's battling skills, Vulcan doesn’t stand a chance now.” Rainbow said cockily.
“Oh, I wouldn’t say that entirely…” said Buddy “Much as I hate to say it, even Vulcan could be capable of finding ways to get at us. That’s why he doesn’t give up.”
The others all agreed, and promised to keep ever vigil for further attacks. "So, how's your scepter holding out?" Twilight asked.
"She's fine but I'm still gonna need training if I'm gonna use her in a battle fully." Sapphire replied.
"Don't worry, we'll help you. You'll be swinging that scepter like Sunset in no time." Rainbow encouraged. Sapphire grinned, "Thanks guys."
