My Brave Pony: Power Rangers Starfleet
Episode 13: Zippleback Rescue
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOne day Sapphire and Snowflake were playing with the babies, Castor and Leliani. The babies were cooing as Snowflake nuzzled them on their tummies. Sapphire kept cooing, "Who are good babies? You are, yes you are."
The babies laughed as their parents looked on with happy faces. "They've really grown on Sapphire and her dragons." Celestia stated.
"They sure have." Celesto agreed. Luna came in and stated, "Maybe you two should get a dragon?"
They froze for a moment "Luna!" Celestia said.
"What, I'm just saying think about it first. Having your own dragon could be good for you." Luna replied and she walked off.
The two of them looked at each other. The two of them had been thinking about getting a dragon of their own, but they both decided that their lives were too busy for them to care for a dragon of their own.
"Come on, honey, wanna take a walk?" Celestia suggested.
"Of course dear." Celesto replied. The two of them walked out of the apartment while Luna stayed, "Awwww, their so cute together." she cooed.
(Que Intro)
Celestia and Celesto were in the park, watching as children played and adult relaxed on the benches. The two of them just stood in the park gazebo. It pleased them to see everyone so peaceful.
Just then, the two of them were a strange noise. "What was that?" Celesto said.
Everybody in the park heard it too, but they immediately ran away, fearing it was another one of Vulcan's monsters. But Celestia and Celesto didn't think this was a monster. It sounded like a roar of some sort. "Let's investigate." Celesto suggested. His wife agreed and the two of them explored the area where they heard the roar.
They traced it to a bush. They pulled back the bush and gasped. One the ground, roaring in pain was a dragon!
It was a Hideous Zippleback, like Smoke and Fire, except this one was much larger and it was green with blue spots.

The dragon spotted the two humans and roared in fear. "Woah, woah, woah, easy." Celestia said with her hands raised. "We're not gonna hurt you."
The dragon tried to fly away but it roared in pain and stared at it's right wing, which Celestia and Celesto saw was swollen and red! "Oh dear, you're hurt." Celesto said. The dragon warbled as the two humans approached it. Celesto got close enough to examine the swollen wing. "Looks like it's just a sprain." he declared.
"What should we do?" Celestia asked.
"Let's get them back to the mansion."
"Right."
The two of them ushered the dragon to stand and walked all the way back to the mansion. Meanwhile, the rangers were already at the mansion to help Sapphire with her Animal Scepter. She was sparring with Sunset and her Star Scepter. The two scepters collided and Sapphire wracked Sunset with hers'. "Nice Sapphire."
Sunset fired a blast from her scepter. "Elephant Smack!" An elephant spirit came out of the orb and batted the blast away. "Nice work!" Rainbow cheered. The spirit returned and Sapphire blasted a beam from her scepter which blasted Sunset's scepter out of her hands.
Sapphire was breathing heavy and fell to her knees. "Sapphire!" Rainbow and the others raced over to her. "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'm... good." Sapphire panted.
"Good news, You lasted two more minutes than the last time." Twilight said.
"Only two? Awwwww!" Sapphire groaned.
"Now, now, Sapphire, you're getting better and that's what matters." Lightning stated.
"Yeah, don't stress about this so much." Krysta added.
Sapphire sighed, "You're right."
"Ummm, rangers!" Luna called. "You might want to come and see this!"
The rangers looked at each other confused and went inside the mansion. They froze when they saw Celestia and Mr. Grandruler with a larger version of Smoke and Fire. "Woah!" Rainbow cried. "What the heck is that?!"
Sapphire's eyes sparkled and widened in amazement, "Woah, you two found a Titan Wing Zippleback!"
"A what Zippleback?" Lightning asked.
"A Titan Wing Zippleback. Titan WIng's are a very rare type of dragon. They are larger than their counterparts." Sapphire explained and then spotted it's injured wing. "And by the looks of this one, it sprained it's wing."
"We were hoping Fluttershy could help it." Celesto offered.
"Oh! Um, alright." Fluttershy approached the large dragon. The large dragon warbled nervously. "It's alright, I won't hurt you." Fluttershy cooed. Fluttershy placed a simple ice pack on the dragon's wing. "This should bring down the swelling and it should be able to fly soon."
Celesto and Celestia grinned, "That's wonderful." The Titan Wing looked at them and nuzzled them. "Your welcome." Celestia stated.
The rangers, Luna an Twilight all smiled at them.
At the Prison Tower, Vulcan had called his minions before him.
"So what's the plan, Master?" Marla questioned.
Vulcan snuffed, “The last few battles have given me an idea.”
Vulcan went over to the computers and showed everyone an image of Celestia and Celesto, much to everyone confusion. “But sir… they aren't rangers.” Bronc pointed out.
“I’m aware of that!” sneered Vulcan “However, the are tied to the rangers, which leads me to assume they may be in lead with those behind the secrets of the rangers, and if there is one thing business has taught me… “Know more about your enemy than they know of themselves.”
Everyone was starting to catch on to the plan, and Vulcan snickered wickedly as he gazed at the picture of Celestia and Celesto.
Soon, the Titan Wing Zippleback's wing was healed and it could hover without the pain in it's wing. "You're fully healed." Fluttershy praised. The Zippleback warbled and nudged Celesto and Celestia. "Hehehe, awww, your welcome boys. Now run along." Celestia stated.
The Zippleback walked out of the door and flew into the air. The rangers waved goodbye to it. "You wanna take that walk again, honey?" Celestia cooed. Celesto rolled his eyes, but he couldn't say no to his wife, "Alright darling, excuse us." The two of them walked off to the park while the rangers, Twilight and Luna all cooed, "Awwwww."
"Stop it!" Celesto exclaimed.
The two of them were walking through the city. "So do you think that dragon will be alright?" Celestia questioned.
"I believe so." Celesto replied. Just then, people started screaming and running in a panic. "What's going on?" Celestia asked. The jewel on Celesto's cane began blinking. "A monster!"
"Hahaha!" The two of them turned and saw Marla and her swarm of Lingos. "You two are coming with us." she hissed.
The Grandruler's tried to run away but they were blocked by Keto and Bronc. "You two aren't getting away!" Keto added. The three minions were about ready to take them when...
"Leave them alone!" a voice shouted.
Everyone turned and saw the rangers appear. The Grandrulers' were glad to see them. "Let them go!" Lightning cried.
"Not a chance, Lingos get them!" Marla ordered. The Lingos lunged forth and the rangers charged them. Lightning and Sunset gave them all roundhouse kicks. Buddy did a spinning kick, sending multiple Lingos flying. Rainbow easily socked them. And Fluttershy and Rhymey kicked them. Sapphire changed into a jaguar and easily clawed them with her claws.
While the rangers were busy, Marla grabbed the Grandrulers' with her long pink hair. "Hey!" Celesto cried.
"You're coming with us." Keto hissed. The minions were about to escape when Sapphire leaped in front of them and snarled at them. "Agh! This one again!" Bronc whined. Sapphire roared at the three villains. Bronc blasted the ground in front of her with their laser eyes, creating a cloud of dust. Sapphire roared in discomfort.
With that opportunity, the minions vanished.
"NO!" Sunset cried. The others were just as distraught. "Let's get to the base." Sunset snapped.
Sapphire turned back into her normal self and followed the rangers to the nearest jump-tube unaware that there was a pair of eyes staring at them from afar.... scratch that two pairs of eyes were watching them.
Meanwhile, several blocks from the school near a forest edge, Celestia and Celesto were bounded to a tree by thick chains. "What do you want with us?" Celestia questioned.
"Tell us what you two know about the rangers." Marla ordered.
The two of them bit their tongues. They couldn't let the minions discover that Celesto was the ranger's boss or else they would be all sorts of danger. "Tell us now!" Keto snarled.
"Never!" Celestia shouted. "You let us go!"
"Why so you can call your friends?" Keto taunted.
Bronc was losing his patience, and would have struck her, but Keto stopped him, “Bronc… as much as I would like to pound them myself, we need them."
"Besides I may have a way to convince them to talk." Marla hissed.
The Granderulers' didn't like the sound of that.
Meanwhile, as soon as the rangers got to their base, informed Twilight of the situation and asked for his advice. “If they had been kidnapped by Vulcan’s forces, the computer should help you track them.”
With Professor Brain’s help, he located signs of alien DNA. “They are a few miles from here, near the forest edge, south east from Canterlot High.”
“Right, let’s go!” said Sunset.
“I just hope we’re not too late!” cried Fluttershy.
With the jumps already programmed, they jumped in and were off.
“Good luck, Rangers.” muttered Brain.
Marla had her Lingos go and capture Vice Principal Luna and the babies from the mansion. The babies were crying their lungs out so Keto placed them in a sound proof force field while the Lingos held Luna captive. "Let our family go!" Celesto demanded.
"Not until you tell us about the rangers, humans." Bronc taunted. The two of them were flustered. They could see no easy way out of this predicament.
Suddenly, green smoke started crawling onto the scene. "What the-? What's with this green smoke?" Marla asked.
Suddenly, it was ignited and KAPOW! It sent Marla, Bronc and Keto flying.
The Titan Wing Zippleback burst from the brush and bashed the Lingos holding Luna. "You again?!" she exclaimed. The dragon roared softly and nuzzled her. It walked over to the chained couple. "How you find us?" Celestia asked.
"Not so fast, dragon!" Marla said. She launched her nails at the Titan Wing but it blasted the nails away with Ammonium nitrate mixed with anhydrous hydrazine. The Titan Wing blasted the force field around the babies, breaking it so Luna could grabbed the babies and hide. Bronc and Keto were about to fire on Celestia and Celesto. The Titan Wing stood in front of Celestia and Celesto when suddenly the villains were bombarded by powerful blasts, and sent flying back again.
There stood the rangers, morphed and holding their weapons, and Sunset called to the villains, “Party’s over, you creeps!”
Celestia, Celesto and Luna grinned at the sight of them
The villains were not pleased. Another roar was heard and Striker leaped onto the scene and roared in anger at the three villains. He wrapped his three tails together and wracked the villains into the air and blasted them with his concentrated orange flames
BOOM!
The three minions fell to the ground, smoking from the fire. "That's we're done!" Marla declared. The boys grunted and vanished along with her. The rangers rushed over to Celestia and Celesto and untied them. "Are you alright?" Buddy asked.
"Yeah, we're alright. Thanks to him." Celesto replied. The Titan Wing warbled and licked the two of them. "Hehehe, we're okay boys." Celestia reassured.
"Looks like you two have a new dragon friend." Lightning said.
"Us? Really?" Celestia asked.
"Yeah, we saved you and from the looks of it, he wants to stay with you both." Sunset said.
Celestia and Celesto saw the Titan Wing smiling at them. "Don't worry, I'll teach you how to care for him." Sapphire encouraged.
The two of them sighed, "We have no choice do we?" they grumbled.
"Nope!" Everybody replied with a laughed.
The two of them groaned. Their live just got more complicated.
