Chapter 3: What the hell's going on?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs Chad continues his flight towards the capitol city of Equestria, he spots something in the distance headed right for him. A small army of armor clad pegasi, the golden armor glinting in the sunlight, making them VERY visible from farther away.
"Heh, time to go duck hunt on these abominations." Chad remarks to himself.
Chad pulls out another morpher, this time it's the blue dinothunder morpher. The shield will come in handy against anything that gets close enough, while the blaster should get the job done fairly well. He morphs, the pegasi still little glints in the distance. That is, until faster streaks of darker blue start approaching. Fast. Chad takes aim with the blaster, firing at the more threatening targets. To his surprise, every shot misses, as each of them dodge the shots.
Before long, the blue streaks, extremely fast pegasi upon further inspection, close the distance. Chad is quickly knocked off of his dragonoid, which is now occupied with some of the pegasi. But the rest aren't done with Chad yet, as he's battered and kicked around in the air. Chad can't even seem to get his bearings whatsoever, as the ruthless pegasi don't let up. That is, until Chad remembers the other ability this particular morpher grants him. He activates the rough, shield like skin trait, no longer feeling any additional pain from the assault. He watches the attack pattern of the pegasi, still making noises as though he was in pain. Once he finds an opening, he swings his shield at one of the pegasi, going far too fast to avoid the attack. This causes the pattern to falter enough so he can break free.
In freefall, while the pegasi are distracted with tending to their wounded, mostly caused by the dragonoid, Chad shoots and manages to hit a couple of them. As the ground is coming closer, Chad braces for impact, the shield skin effect still active. He hits the ground, forming a human shaped crater. He slowly and shakily gets back up, the skin not fully protecting him from the fall. The morpher automatically powers down, too weak to keep up the ranger form. Chad quickly switches it out for the white dinothunder morpher, and goes invisible. Seems he's lost his dragonoid, and a large chunk of his confidence. If he's gonna take down a trained army, he needs to better hone his skills. Chad wanders off, searching for a safe haven of his own as the guards arrive at the crater, clueless as to where he went.

Meanwhile at the castle, Twilight and her friends are recovering. Except for Starlight. When they got her to the castle, it was already too late. She won't make it through, as the burns were too severe, not even Twilight's magic could heal them. Rainbow's recovery is taking longer than the rest of her friends, due to being slashed relentlessly. While the rest only passed out from the heat and traumatic sight of their home town's destruction, only really needing a small amount of recovery time and a lot of water. Twilight is already searching through her books for any kind of information regarding this threat that seemingly came out of nowhere.
"You sure you're okay Twilight, you were in pretty bad shape back there..." Spike asks, still concerned for Twilight's health.
"I'm fine enough to read, so I will research and read. I still can't believe what it did to Starlight, and to Ponyville. What kind of creature could be so vile, and full of hatred?" Twilight says, slightly rambling as she looks through her books.
"Not even the dragons or griffons were that cruel..." Spike remarks.
"Whatever it is, it knows full well what it's doing. And it enjoys that. Not even Tirek or Discord were that bad." Twilight adds, scanning through her books the whole time. "If only the princesses knew what it is, and why it's like that." Twilight says off-hoofedly.
Spike quickly grabs a scroll, jotting down a few things. "I didn't see what it did to Ponyville, Starlight took me back here when you said to evacuate the town. What could it do that would burn her like that?" Spike asked, fully ready to write as many details as he could on the human.
Twilight levitates the scroll over to herself, writing herself as quickly as possible, much to Spike's surprise, since she'd never done that before. She levitates it back over to him. "Send it."
Spike sends the letter without hesitation. "Why did you write it, you never write the letters yourself." Spike asks in confusion.
"Because if I was going to explain it all as quickly as possible to the princesses, I needed to write it out myself. Telling it all to you and then having you send it would've been slower. This being is a threat to our lives, and it seems it doesn't mind playing dirty to win. Look what it did to Rainbow and Starlight." She explained.
Spike starts looking through some books himself. "Should we contact the other leaders too, just in case?" He asks.
"That would be a good idea, if your magic breath was able to send them letters too. No, we'll have to rely on the princesses contacting them. If we leave, our location could be found by the biped, and we'd be killed for sure." Twilight responds.
"Why don't we just get Discord's help? Come to think of it, why didn't he help earlier and prevent all this from happening?" Spike asks.
"You... have a point. Especially since Fluttershy was in danger. You'd think he'd have been here by now." Twilight thinks aloud.
"DISCORD!" Spike yells, no response. "CAPTAIN WUZ!" Spike yells again.
Discord seems to fall up from the carpet. "Is it time for another guys night? Oh, Twilight's here. Guess not? What did you want then, I haven't got all day." Discord says, unamused.
"Where were you when Ponyville was under attack!?" Spike yells, getting somewhat angry.
"Oh, that. Well, I've been busy trying to patch a hole in the dimensions that appeared just recently. I left myself in charge, but I don't know how long I can keep it up for. As for your little human problem, he came through the small tear I use for amusement whenever I'm not needed. But when he came through, he tore a hole big enough to threaten the fabric of your reality. Oh, and since he's from another dimension, he's immune to your magic, as are his little trinkets. Not even Tirek with all of Equestria's magic could use any on him. Anyways, the union mandated break I took to come here is up, good luck keeping your reality safe. If it doesn't work out, I could always take you to mine." Discord says. Before Spike or Twilight can respond, he disappears in a flash of white light.
"He's an alien that's immune to MAGIC!?" Twilight yells in disbelief, panic in her eyes as she frantically searches through even more books.
"Well, that's not good. If we can't use magic to stop him, how do we then!?" Spike asks, also worried.
Seems this day is turning out badly for everyone involved.
Author's Note
Mmkay, third chapter completed. I figured Chad needed to be knocked down a peg. After all, he's only a human, even with the power ranger suits on. And this is also why Discord couldn't help, even if he wanted to. After all, if the god of chaos could just end the conflict with the snap of a finger, there'd be no story.
