Chapter 1

Not too long ago, the universe was in great danger….

On the distant planet of Equestria, darkness was rising; the planet was on the verge of being taken over by an evil tyrant, by the name of King Sombra. His evil knew no boundaries, his plan was to release the creatures of the underworld and their evil; this would have surely spelt doom for the inhabitants of Equestria.

But not all was lost, for a team of heroes banded together and fought back Sombra and his monsters; they were known throughout the universe, as Power Rangers.

However, once the fight against Sombra was done; the planet no longer needed it’s peacekeepers. So they all returned to their home planet; all but one.

As for the rangers that returned to Earth, they had other duties to perform; just because Equestria was safe, that didn’t mean the fight was over.

Before the events on Equestria, this team of heroes had finished fighting a war, a war that destroyed another world, and it was about to the same to Earth. But with the help of warriors and friends from beyond the stars, they emerged victorious.

Now all that remained, was to clean up the mess the war had left behind. But that could gladly be accomplished, by Earth’s ultimate defence force.

The O.S.C, Operation Save Civilians; a government funded organisation, hunting criminals that ordinary police can’t handle, from Earth and space.

Location: Earth, London

Year: 2020 (nothing bad could happen this year.)

Driving through the streets of London town, a military jeep was making its way through the traffic. The jeep contained four friends, the team that had been sent on a mission to collect a ‘perp’ that had been sighted in the area.

The team included, Rory, OSC Red; the leader of the team.

Kian, OSC Blue; the one that plans the attacks.

Wiktoria, OSC Yellow; the brains of the team.

And Rose, OSC Pink; the teams medic.

These four weren’t just teammates, like I said, they were the best of friends; they never did anything without each other. They would often enjoy the friendly banter they would have with each other; Kian turned to his team and asked, “Hey, when work is done; how about we all go on the London Eye?”

“That thing is too slow, and too boring; no way.” Rory replied.

But Wiktoria replied, “I’m game.” This statement made Rose chuckle.

They all turned serious suddenly, when Rory said, “Alright guys, focus up; we’re here.” The jeep pulled up at an old abandoned power plant, the team got out of the vehicle and ran across the courtyard.

They all hid behind crates stacked up against the wall, Rose pulled out her scanner and said, “I’ve got an energon reading; he’s defiantly here.” Rory looked over the crate, there he saw it; it was a large excavator, just sitting in the middle of the plant.

“Okay, let’s move in closer.” Rory ordered. The rangers pulled out their taser-blasters; they could see this was going to turn into a fight.

They all moved towards the excavator and pointed their blasters at it, Rory nodded to Kian and the Blue Ranger said, “Groundpounder; by the order of the O.S.C, we hereby place you under arrest.”

All was quiet after that, the rangers and the excavator both said nothing.

Wiktoria turned to Rory and asked, “Are you sure we got the right one, becau….”

Before she could finish her sentence, the excavator swung it’s crane around; the rangers jumped out of the way of the attack. The machine then began transforming into its true form, it revealed itself to be Groundpounder, the Decepticon gladiator.

(Quick Author Note): As you might remember, to make the fights between then Power Rangers and the Decepticons easier, and possible; I’ve made it so the Transformers are just and few meters bigger than humans. They’re not giants robots.

“Blast him.” Rose shouted. The Rangers opened fire on the Decepticon, he roared at them before swinging his fist at them; they jumped back again, allowing Groundpounder the chance to make a run for it.

The Decepticon moved like a gorilla and ran away from the scene; the rangers picked themselves up, they had to go after him.

The Yellow Ranger said to her friends, “I think it’s time we dressed for the occasion.”

“I couldn’t agree more.” Rory replied. He and the other rangers pulled small devices out of their pockets, their OSC morphers. The leader said to his team, “Ready?”

The other three said in unison, “Ready!”

All together, the team of rangers called out, “O.S.C, Emergency!”

Once they had morphed into their suits, Rory used his morpher to contact HQ; he said to them, “Director, send me my ride.” They didn’t even have to reply, out of nowhere, a red motorbike drove up in front of the Red Ranger.

Suddenly, Rose’s scanner began beeping in her hand; she turned to see what it was beeping at, and just as she did that, a car that was hiding behind the plant was driving away. She could see on the side of its door, the Decepticon logo.

“Looks like we have a second Decepticon.” Rose said, pointing at the car.

Rory then told them the plan, “Okay, you guys take the jeep and go after that runaway excavator.” The ranger then go on his bike and charged the engine, “I’ll take care of the other guy.” The Red Ranger then sped off after the car that was driving away.

“He can be such a hot head sometimes.” Kian stated.

Him and the rest of them of the rangers got into the jeep and drove after Groundpounder.

The Decepticon that was driving away was making some good distance between him and the rangers; but what he didn’t know was that one of them was closing in on him. A blast of red energy hit the road in front of him, the Con steered out of the way; he could now see the Red Ranger on his tail.

Rory fired another blaster from his bike, causing the Decepticon to hit the curve and speed out of control.

With nothing left to do, the Decepticon transformed into its robot mode and revealed itself to the ranger. Rory could see the Con, it was just a Vehicon Trooper; foot-soldiers in the Decepticon army, these guys were more robot than living being.

The road was clear, just the two of them; all the people had run away in fear, Rory was free to take this guy down without civilian harm. The Red Ranger stopped the bike and jumped in front of the Con; he pulled his Delta Blasters off his belt and pointed them at the Vehicon.

Wanting to destroy this human, the Vehicon’s arm converted into a blaster and he began firing at Rory. But the ranger jumped out of the way and fired back at him; Rory ducked behind some trash cans, the Con wouldn’t stop shooting.

“Now would be the time for some backup.” Rory stated to himself.

But suddenly, the firing stopped; the Decepticon had wasted his ammo. Rory saw his chance and jumped over the trash cans, he fired two shots from his blasters and causing critical damage to the enemy.

The Red Ranger then stated, “Time to take out the trash. Delta Blasters, combine.” Rory placed his blasters together and they locked into place; he then pointed the weapon at the Vehicon.

Begging for mercy, the Con said, “Wait a minute.” But Rory didn’t listen.

“Fire!” the Red Ranger shouted.

He pulled the trigger and released a powerful blast from the weapon; the blaster bolt struck the Con right in the spark. The Decepticon fell to his knees and exploded into scrap metal.

Rory then said, “That’s justice, served.”

Meanwhile, Groundpounder was throwing cars and smashing his way through everything in his path; the rest of the ranger team was following him and trying to keep up. Wiktoria was behind the wheel, while Kian and Rose held their Delta Max Strikers in blaster mode and fired at the Decepticon.

Finally, Kian managed to land a hit on the brute, causing him to be knocked off the road and into a courtyard; the rangers pulled over and got out of the vehicle, they went to meet Groundpounder.

The Decepticon wouldn’t go without a fight; he shouted to them, “You can’t stop me! I’m the most powerful Decepticon there is.”

“That title doesn’t mean much to us, Decepticon.” Rose said back to him. The three ranger pulled out their sabres and charged towards their enemy; Groundpounder charged towards them as well, he raised his fists to fight.

The Con punched the ground, but Rose and Wiktoria jumped into the air and swung their sabres at him, striking him in the chest; Kian turned his weapon into a blaster and shot the Decepticon right in the face. The brute stumbled back, the three rangers decided to use their most powerful attack; they all held their blasters and pointed them at Groundpounder.

“Can’t we talk about this?” the Con asked.

All Kian replied with was, “Nope.” The rangers fired their blasters, releasing powerful blasts of energy that push the Decepticon to the back, and it weakened him greatly.

Before the rangers could make the arrest, Rory arrived on his bike; Wiktoria turned to him and said, “Nice of you to show. What happened with the other Con?”

“It’s taken care of.” The Red Ranger then marched towards Groundpounder, with his team behind him, it was time to end this. “Decepticon, it’s time to take you in.” he held out his morpher and opened it, “Judgement mode.”

A red X and green circle began flashing on the morpher, the circle would say he was innocent, while the X would say he was guilty. Rory began listing his crimes, “You are charged with escaping justice, and level five property damage; how do you plead?”

Groundpounder shouted back, “Don’t waste my time.”

The morpher stopped flashing on the red X; the four Power Rangers shouted the verdict, “Guilty!”

“Servo, go fetch.” Rory then pulled a metal bone-shaped device off his belt and threw it into the air; it was caught by the Rescue Bots helper bot, Servo. The bot resembled a dog, but when he caught the bone, he transformed into a blast cannon form.

All the rangers called out, “Canine-Cannon!”

The Decepticon shouted, “What’s that going to do?”

Rory shouted, “Fire!” he pulled the cannon’s trigger, firing a blast of energy from the cannon at Groundpounder. When the blast hit the Decepticon, groaned in pain before falling forward; when he hit the ground, he exploded.

From the explosion, something was thrown into Rory hand; when he caught it, it was a small metal card, and Groundpounder was trapped inside it. “Let me out of here!” he cried, trying to smash his way out.

“I guess that closes that case.” Kian stated.

The ranger team cheered at their victory before returning to the jeep to go back to base; this mission was done and a complete success.

With the mission complete, the rangers had been ordered to gather in the main control room; Director Olessia had called them in to give them her congratulations.

She applauded them by saying, “Well done, rangers; I am happy to announce that Groundpounder was the last Decepticon on the Alchemor’s prisoner manifest.”

Rose then said, “So, are you saying what I think you’re saying?”

“Yes, all the Decepticons have been found and captured; you should feel proud of what you have achieved this day.” But then Olessia remembered something, she thought it would spoil the moment of victory, but the rangers deserved to know. “However, there is one thing we have missed.”

Wiktoria asked, “What’s that, Olessia?”

Olessia breathed and explained, “The O.S.C still has no knowledge on the whereabouts of Shockwave; though he was never on the Alchemor, he is still wanted by the Autobots.”

Feeling confident in his words, “Don’t worry, Director; we’ll find him and bring him in. We all will.” Rory explained, gesturing to his team.

“Which brings me to another topic of conversation; I believe Rose and Wiktoria have some news of their own.” Olessia said, letting the Yellow and Pink Ranger step forward.

Rose and Wiktoria turned to the two boys and explained, “Guys, we don’t how to tell you this; but we’re leaving the O.S.C.” Wiktoria explained.

Kian stepped forward and said, “Wait, you’re leaving. Why?”

“I need to return to Pym Tech; my father has retired and it falls to me to take his place in running the company.” The Yellow Ranger explained.

“And I have other things I want to do with my life.” Rose then said. “Be a chef, or an artist; I always knew I was never going to be a Power Ranger forever.”

Olessia held out a tray, she said to the two female rangers, “If that is all, rangers; would please turn in your morphers.”

Wiktoria and Rose took their morphers out of their pockets and placed them on the tray, “Thank you for our time here, Olessia.” Rose said to her.

The director simply nodded before placing the tray down; the two former rangers turned to their friends, they walked over to hug their friends goodbye. While Rose was hugging Rory, Kian held onto Wiktoria and began whispering something in her ear.

“I’ll see you soon; I’ll come and find you.” The two of them let go of each and smiled. Kian then thought of something else to say, “I lo…”

Before he could finish, Wiktoria stopped him, “You can tell me, the next time you see me.”

Once the goodbyes were finished, Wiktoria and Rose walked out the door of the control room; they left the building, no longer Power Rangers.

So with Adam still on Equestria and the two girls now retired from their roles, Rory and Kian were the only ones left. Rory stepped forward and asked, “So, who are you assigning to be our new team members?”

Olessia then explained, “You misunderstand, Rory; I’m not assigning anyone new to your team.” She raised her arms and gestured to the two of them, “From this moment forward, you and Kian are going to be, partners.”

Kian and Rory looked at each other and said in unison, “Partners?”

Chapter 2

6 Months Later

Location: Unknown Moon

Standing next to his space shuttle, Kian was standing on a moon not listed in the O.S.C database; some believe it to an abandoned mining planet. The Blue Ranger opened his morpher and began recording his voice for the records.

“Mission log update; it’s been three days since we were briefed on the planet Equestria, five days since the targets were report missing. We’ve searched the planetoid from top to bottom, aside from a breathable atmosphere, no life has been discovered; and there seems to be no sign of the missing personal.”

Kian projected a hologram from his morpher, it showed what they were looking for; a unicorn, a pegasus and a earth pony.

Princess Celestia contacted Earth five days ago, claiming that three of her subjects had been kidnapped; since they had the most experience with this race, the Blue and Red Ranger were put on the case.

Suddenly, a bright light was blasted towards Kian, along with the sound of a car horn. “Hey!” Kian yelled.

When the light went away, Rory was reveal standing by the jeep they’d brought with them; he said to his friend, “Come on, Kian; no one ever listens to those reports.”

“Rory, my friend; the work we put into our cases is what separates us from the wicked forces of evil.” Kian replied, pulled out his binoculars.

The Red Ranger walked over to his jeep, “If it means less paperwork; it’s fine by me.” Rory sat in the driver’s seat and buckled himself up. “Give it up, partner; this rock’s as dead as it looks.”

Kian put his binoculars away and replied, “Next judge a moon by its crater, we better double check the dark-side.”

“I’ll drive.”

The ranger jeep was speeding across the surface of the moon; Rory was driving it around the craters and over the rocks, Kian was somehow sitting perfectly still in the passenger seat. As the two rangers arrived on the dark side of the moon; they came to a halt by a large mountain.

Rory hit the brakes hard, stopping them in their tracks.

“Ouch!”

Kian suddenly heard a voice from behind them; he turned around and pulled away the blanket that was covering the back seat. Hiding under the tarp, was none other than three little ponies; ponies that weren’t so little anymore.

“Hi.” Applebloom greeted, waving her hoof. Her two friends, Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell waved to them as well.

Once the hand brake was on, Rory turned around and saw the three ponies as well; he then said, “Well, mission accomplished.” He used his morpher to pull up the hologram of the three ponies. “Three little ponies disappeared, we just found three little ponies.”

The Blue Ranger looked at the hologram and then looked at the CMC’s; he then stated, “Uh, I don’t think these are the three missing ponies.”

“Sure, not anymore.” Rory replied.

“I’m afraid these three are stowaways, blast; they must have boarded the ship while we landed on Equestria to get the briefing from the princesses. This won’t look good in my report.” Kian then noticed the three ponies get out of the jeep and start running away. “Hey.”

Scootaloo said to her friends, “Come on girls, we’ve got to save our sisters.”

Both Rory and Kian heard what she just said and gasped, Kian asked, “Wait, the three missing ponies are Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity?” The Cutie Mark Crusaders turned back to the rangers and nodded.

Rory ran out in front of them before they could run off again, “Whoa, we’ll find your sisters, okay. But they’re not here.”

“Oh, they’re here.” Sweetie Bell replied.

Kian asked, “How can you be so sure?”

“Sweetie Bell’s been practicing her tracking spell; she can sense where her sister is not matter where she is in the universe. That’s why he hitched a ride on you ship, we knew we could find them.”

The Red Ranger asked, “How would they even get out here?” he thought for a minute. “Unless….” He looked over at Kian, who looked like he’d already figured it out. “Now you’re just trying to freak me out.”

The Blue Ranger replied, “No, it’s my worst fear come true.”

“Here we go.” Rory replied, having to listen to this again.

“This kidnapping could only be the work of the last Decepticon out there; Shockwave.”

Once Kian had finished, he looked over to his partner; Rory was standing there looking at him, with a confused look on his face.

He finally spoke when he shouted, “What kidnapping?!” he the face palmed before continuing. “Ever since Olessia told us he was still out there, you think Shockwave is behind every Jawa stuck up a tree.”

Kian replied, “It could happen.”

Rory then decided to walk away from this conversation, “All I know we’ve searched half this galaxy looking for those missing ponies; and what have we found..?” He turned back to Kian and yelled, “A lot of nothing!”

Suddenly, a large roar came out of nowhere; something began crawling out of ground behind Rory, the monster resembled a giant insect.

“There’s something really bad behind me, isn’t there?” Rory asked.

The monster then pounced at the Red Ranger, but Kian jumped forward and pushed Rory out of harm’s way.

He shouted, “Insecticon, look out!” The two rangers looked around as they drew their blasters, they saw they were now surrounded by large Insecticons. “These Cons are supposed to be extinct.”

“Tell them that.” Rory replied.

Both the Blue and Red Ranger began firing their blasters at the bugs; unfortunately, these weapons weren’t powerful enough to do any real damage to Insecticons. However, it seemed like they were keeping the insects at bay; Rory and Kian stood back to back to fend off this attack.

Kian said, “Looks like this moon isn’t so dead after all.”

Rory replied, “Give me a minute, it will be.”

Meanwhile, the CMC’s were running for their lives, trying to make it across the area; they were following Sweetie Bell, who’s horn was glowing.

“This way, girls.” The unicorn stated.

Kian saw them running past the Insecticons and shouted, “What are you doing?!” just before one of the Cons swung its stinger at him and he had to duck out of the way. The CMC’s ducked inside a cave to hide from the bugs, the Blue Ranger saw an Insecticon heading right for them; before he could help them, she was picked up by another one in its ‘Fly’ form.

Now Rory was fighting off a swarm all on his own.

Just before that Insecticon could to the ponies; Kian pushed with all his ranger strength and pried himself free from the Con’s grip. He kicked the bug away and jumped through the air; before he landed on the ground, he shouted, “O.S.C, Emergency!”

He landed on the ground in his Blue Ranger suit; Kian then rolled across the surface of the moon and fired a shot from his blaster at the Insecticon. Once the bug was stunned, Kian kicked it away from the girls.

“Rory, hit from below!” the Blue Ranger shouted to his partner.

The Red Ranger heard this and pulled out his morpher, “Soft underbellies, hey?” he pressed the button on his morpher and instantly morphed into the Red Ranger. “Delta Blasters.” He cheered as he drew his two pistols.

The ranger leaped up to a high rock and began firing his blasters at the Insecticons.

Once the fighting was done, the last few Insecticons clustered together; Rory and Kian stood side by side and looked towards the Cons.

“Delta Blasters, combine!” Rory said as he put his blasters together.

“Delta Max Striker.” Kian stated as he supercharged his blaster.

Together they shouted, “Fire!” They both released powerful blasts from their weapons; so powerful the that once the Insecticons were hit, they all exploded out of existence. When the smoke cleared, the rangers noticed something; the blast had revealed something hidden under the ground.

Applebloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo ran over to the hole in the ground; they looked down into a underground cave. There, they’d found what they’d been looking for.

Kian and Rory walked over to the hole; the Blue Ranger looked down and saw it as well. “I knew it.”

Chapter 3

Deep within the heart of the Decepticon laboratory, was the main lab; throughout this room, Vehicons were constructing weapons and working on the computers. But the main part of this lab was the large glass cylinder in the middle of the room.

The tank was filled with green liquid; and floating in this liquid, was none other than the three missing ponies, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity. They were wearing oxygen masks on their faces, which were connected to air tubes leading outside the tank; so they could breath, because Shockwave needed them alive.

All the Vehicons were working quickly, they knew what would happen to them if they failed; Shockwave was without emotions, and that made more cruel and controlling than Megatron. Whilst working at his computer, the Con in charge heard the door to the lab open; the Vehicon panicked a little before turning around.

Standing in the door way was another Vehicon; this one asked, “Our master would like the report on the prisoners. Have they told us anything?”

“No, nothing yet. But we’re about to start phase two.” The leading Con replied.

The one standing at the door turned around to go tell Shockwave; however, he muttered, “Oh, he’s not going to like this.”

After a few minutes, the lab door opened again; the leading Vehicon panicked again, thinking it was there master. However, it was just the other Decepticon again; this time he asked, “So, what should I tell him that won’t annoy him?”

“I don’t know, just tell him that we’re close, okay.”

“Oh, he’s not going to like this at all.”

The Vehicon left again; after another few minutes, the door opened again. The Con in charge was getting fed up with this; this time when he turned around, he shouted, “Oh, now what!?”

But no one was standing at the door, but he heard a voice coming from outside the room; the voice of that other Decepticon said, “He didn’t like.” Before anything else could happen, a blast is was heard from outside, and then something came crashing into the lab.

It was the destroyed body of the Vehicon, the one in charge looked up and saw their master this time….

Shockwave marched into the lab, not seeming to be in a good mood.

“Lord Shockwave, as you can see we’re about to turn up the power of the torture chamber so you can…” before the Con could finish, Shockwave swung his hand and smacked him away, sending him crashing into the wall.

Once that Decepticon was out of the way, Shockwave opened his hand, revealing how sharp his fingers were; he clawed at the tank of liquid and cracked the glass. The glass shattered and released the liquid into the lab.

Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack dropped to the bottom of the tank; but suddenly, Shockwave reached down and picked up the three ponies by their tails. While they were hanging upside down, they struggled to get free; Shockwave used his other hand as a torture tool, his index finger began sparking with electricity.

He laid his finger on the ponies they were slightly electrocuted; as he zapped them, the Decepticon scientist chuckled slightly.

Rainbow Dash finally said something, “We will never talk.”

Applejack followed with, “Do your worst, ya varmint.”

All Shockwave said in return was, “My plan exactly.” Before electrocuting them again.

Meanwhile, outside; Rory, Kian and the Cutie Mark Crusaders had found a door they could use to get inside. The only problem was, they couldn’t get it open; Kian was blasting the hatch with his blaster and wasn’t even making a dent in it.

“It’s no use; this metal is extremely laser proof.” The Blue Ranger stated.

Rory simply replied, “Let me try.”

The Red Ranger walked up to the door and knocked on it; he then moved to the side so he couldn’t be seen. To their surprise, a Vehicon opened the hatch from the inside; when he answered the door, he greeted, “Yes.”

Before the Con could call for help, Rory jumped out from behind the door and fired his blasters at the Decepticon; causing his head to explode. The headless body fell to the floor, no one else knew the rangers were here; so they just walked in undetected.

“After you.” Rory said, letting Kian go first.

The two ranger were about to start searching this place when they noticed the CMC’s still following them; Kian turned to the three ponies and ordered, “Get back to our ship and wait.” But the ponies didn’t listen, it took Kian having to walk in front of them to get them to stop; the ponies were not happy about this.

Applebloom stepped forward and said, “Look, our sisters need help; if you don’t get out of our way, something bad is going to happen to them.”

“Do you not think we don’t know that? Applejack is my friend; so are Rainbow and Rarity. We are not going to let anything happen to them; but we can only do that if stand back and let us do our jobs.” Kian explained.

Suddenly, Sweetie Bell felt a strange pain in her horn; her magic was trying to tell her something. She quickly fell to the floor, Scootaloo ran to her side; the little unicorn began saying things, “All I see is destruction, doom…. And betrayal.”

Kian moved over and helped the pony to her feet, he didn’t know what to make of that random outburst.

He said to all three of them, “Now can you please go back to the ship?”

The Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded their heads before turning around and walking back to where the ship was parked. Now Rory and Kian could focus on saving the lives of those who needed it.

Back in Shockwave’s lab, the Decepticon was getting to work on the three ponies he’d captured; he had them strapped to chairs with metal clamps. This stopped Rainbow Dash from flying away, and the metal in the clamps was strong, AJ couldn’t use her strength to break out either; and for Rarity, he’d place a device on her horn that blocked her magic.

The Decepticon was pacing back and forth, trying to get some information out of his prisoners; he demanded to know, “Tell of your planet! Tell me it’s secrets!”

In unison, the three ponies replied, “Never.”

“I see.” Shockwave replied. “I guess I just have to pick, your brains.” He chuckled a little before asking, “Where’s the Cranial-Dissecticon?” A flying robot hovered over Shockwave’s head, each one of its arms had a blade on it; ready to dissect anything.

Rarity was scared for her life, Rainbow Dash stayed calm, but was defiantly scared; all Applejack could do was say, “Please, we all got families. We have children that need us.”

Shockwave replied, “I know, I’ll tell Cinnamon Rolls you said goodbye.”

Now that left her with a question, ‘how did this alien know her daughter’s name?’ But Applejack’s thoughts were put on hold when the Dissecticon came closer. All Shockwave did was laugh, as the robot was about open them up.

However, it never got the chance to; because out of nowhere, a blast of blue shot the robot and blew it up. The three ponies screamed, Shockwave ducked for cover; he turned around and saw what had caused this.

Front flipping into the room, Kian made a grand entrance as he landed on the ground and pointed his blaster at the Decepticon.

“Ah, the Blue Ranger.” Shockwave greeted.

Kian replied with, “Shockwave, you’ve been charged with the kidnapping and attempted dissection of O.S.C Alliance civilians; so I hereby place you under arrest.”

But the Decepticon would not surrender that easily, he said back, “I will destroy your O.S.C Alliance; but first, I will destroy you.” He then pushed a button on his wrist; suddenly, a group of robots were teleported into the room.

“I give you, Tronics. My own creation, the new foot soldiers of the Decepticon army.” Shockwave explained.

The Tronics pointed their blasters at the Blue Ranger and began firing; Kian ducked behind something and began shooting back, this whole thing allowed Shockwave to make his getaway.

He stepped onto a platform and pushed a button on the console, the platform was an elevator. The Decepticon shouted to Kian, “Prepare to die, Blue Ranger.” The platform then lifted him into the air towards a hatch in the ceiling.

“Not today, Shockwave!” Kian shouted back, before firing a shot at the Con, but just missing.

Now Kian was just left with the robots; he fired his blaster at them and shot a few of them down. The ranger then fired low power shots at the restraints that held the ponies captive; once they were free from their bonds, they jumped off the chairs and ducked behind a piece of debris.

The last of the Tronics gather together in a group, but it was a bad move; as something from above came hurtling down and crushing the last of the robots; Rory was standing on the same platform Shockwave used to getaway.

“Not bad, partner.” The Red Ranger stated.

Applejack saw Kian in his Blue Ranger suit, she ran over and hugged him; Kian hugged her back, saying, “It’s okay, I’ve got you now.” Rory stepped closer, allowing Kian to say to him, “You always knew how to make an entrance, Rory; let’s go after Shockwave.”

But suddenly, the Decepticon’s face appeared on a video screen; the Con said to them, “I don’t think so, ranger; for you see I hit the self-destruct button on my way out. It is a moon, of doom, now.” He laughed at his own sentence.

A computer’s voice could then be heard, “Self-destruct, in two minutes.”

“Two minutes?” Kian smirked.

Rory replied, “All the time in the world.”

Their thoughts were halted when a blast flew right past them, Tronics were standing at the entrances of the lab; Rory and Kian used their ranger blasters to shoot back.

While he was fighting, the Blue Ranger shouted to the ponies, “Get to our ship, blast off!”

Rarity once the only one who said back, “But Kian…”

He cut her off with, “Just go, we’ll meet you in orbit.”

The ponies did as ordered, they ran for the only exit that was clear; there, they saw their little sisters guiding them out. The lab door closed once they were all through, the ponies then made a break for the O.S.C shuttle Kian and Rory came here on.

As the Power Rangers finished of the Tronics, the lab was beginning to exploded; in fact the whole moon was getting ready to blow. Debris began falling from the ceiling, fires began spreading throughout the complex; Rory and Kian got separated in the chaos.

Kian knew that the only way out was to use the ranger’s emergency teleport, it would transport them onto the ship. The ranger looked through the hole in the roof and saw his shuttle flying away; he pulled out his morpher and shouted to Rory, “Come on, buddy; it’s time to blow this rock.”

“Ah!”

The scream came from close by; Kian ran over to where it came from, he found Rory trapped under a pile of rubble. The Blue Ranger tried to lift the debris off his friend, but there was too much, he couldn’t move it.

Rory knew this was it, so he said to his friend, “Get out of here.”

“No!” Kian shouted back; he grabbed hold of Rory and tried to pull him out.

The Red Ranger shouted, “Let go!”

“We’re partners.” Kian said back.

“I said, GO!”

Rory then pressed the button on Kian morpher, activating the teleporter; with a flash of blue light, Kian found himself on his ship. He ran for the ship’s window and looked back at the moon, only to catch it finally exploding; everything on that rock, was gone.

All the ranger could mutter was, “Rory….”

Two days later

Everyone from his life had gather at O.S.C HQ on Earth, to witness the memorial of Rory; the Red O.S.C Power Ranger.

His parents, his friends; Wiktoria, Rose, even Adam had come. The ponies that he’d met on Equestria were here, especially the Apple Family; the ones that took him and Kian in during their time on Equestria. And finally, the Rescue Bots and other Autobots were there, mourning their friend.

Kian had been asked to deliver the speech, as he was Rory’s partner; he spoke, “Rory was not only a great Power Ranger, he was also a great partner, and friend. I miss him, very much.”

After the memorial, Kian had been tasked with cleaning out his partner’s locker; while doing so, he decided to finish his mission report.

“Mission log; the final act of Rory, the Red Ranger was to save my life. That is a debt I cannot repay; but his is something I can do. To this day I vow that no other ranger will have to put their life on the line for mine.” He thought long and hard about his last sentence in his entry.

“I work…. Alone.”

Chapter 4

One Week Later

Location: O.S.C Training Deck

At O.S.C HQ on Earth, there is a part of the complex that is used to trains cadets, soldiers and future rangers; today the room was filled with cadets, people from all over the galaxy, some human some not. Though the O.S.C Alliance extended to five races; the humans of Earth, the Autobots of Cybertron, the ponies of Equestria, the Time-Lords of Gallifrey and the Na’vi of Pandora. Many other worlds had sworn loyalty to the Alliance and were rewarded with protection against common enemies.

The entire facility was run by the AI system, Teletran 1; the computer system could speak, and it announced, “General Hook, report to training deck.”

“Yeah, yeah; way ahead of you.”

The training deck’s control room was set in the middle of the room, with indestructible windows and walls; so that the observer would be safe from the dangers that were in the room.

General Hook was watching the cadets train; he was a well-respected general, he led armies during the war, and won many battles. Of course those wars cost him something, his left arm had a hook where his hand should be; his left hand was lost during the war. His real name is John; but he thinks General Hook sounds more threatening towards the enemy.

As he was watching the combat, he noticed something; so using the microphone used to talk to the cadets while training, he shouted, “Cadet Phalm, watch those tails of yours, son.”

Within the fighting, a young Twi’lek boy didn’t notice a training robot run up behind him; it grabbed him by his head tails and threw him against the wall. He was then blasted by one of the laser turrets, the blast teleported him to the safe-zone, but he was out.

Hook announced to the cadets, “You pathetic excuse for rangers try that kind of action in the field, then you’re space dust.”

While training, the cadets would have to face robots, gun-turrets, trap doors and flamethrowers; all to prepare them for when they go out into the field.

Suddenly, using the control room’s elevator, Kian entered the room; he wanted to see what had been happening with the new cadets.

“General Hook.” He said as he entered.

John turned to the ranger and said, “Ah, Kian; I’ve got something I want you to see.” He then turned to the microphone, and announced to the cadets, “Alright, we’re cranking it up to level nine, people.”

One of the cadets muttered, “Bring it on.”

But she might have had to watch what she said, because the training room was becoming more cruel; the gun turrets aimed for the cadets, more and more training robots entered the room and the trap doors were opening even wider.

Kian stepped beside his friend and said, “Level nine? General, they’re only rookies; come on, I train at level nine.”

All the general replied with was, “I know.”

Hook pushed the button and the fighting began, the cadets scrambled around the room; some were lucky to avoid the turrets blasts, some weren’t. The robots were grabbing the rookies and throwing them into the lasers’ paths.

One cadet in particular caught Kian’s eye while he watched; it was unicorn, an Equestrian unicorn. Pink fur, blue coloured mane with a teal stripe through it and she was wearing a pony sized cadet jumpsuit.

A robot grabbed her by her tail, but she used a her horn to fire a laser blast; this blew up the robot’s head. When she fell to the ground, she saw she was the only cadet left.

With John and Kian both watching; the Blue Ranger nodded his head, impressed. But the general spoke into the microphone one last time, “Level….ten.” this made Kian gasp in fear, the highest level they had.

The little unicorn was caught off guard as a large trap door opened right behind her; then the wall opened up, revealing the challenge she’d be facing. It was a type ten mutant hunter sentinel, savaged and used for training by the O.S.C.

“Oh, okay.” The unicorn muttered.

The sentinel marched forward, the cadet fired blasts from her horn, but they were just bouncing off the robots armour; which meant there was nothing stopping it from picking her up, and just throwing her into the pit.

Kian watched the cadet fall through the trap door, he then said, “Well, I guess we couldn’t expect a rookie to….”

John then cut him off, “Nope, it ain’t over.”

As the sentinel was walking back to his chamber, the trap door was closing; but the doors stopped; they were held in place by a pink aura, and something flew up from between them. The unicorn’s jumpsuit had been ripped off, revealing the wings she had underneath it.

She flew towards the sentinel, picked it up with her magic and began crushing it into a chunk of metal; once it was no longer a threat, she threw it down the trap door and watched it explode as it hit the bottom.

“How… how did she… what?” Kian muttered.

General Hook explained, “She’s not a unicorn, she’s an Alicorn.”

“Off course, the powers of Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi. Excellent.”

Hook turned off the rest of the simulations and opened the door to the control room, he also said, “Let’s see one of Shockwave’s robots both fly, and move things with their mind.”

The Alicorn flew into the control room and saluted her superiors, “Cadet Flutterby Lily, reporting for duty, sirs.”

Kian thought for a sec, “Flutterby Lily, strange coincidence; isn’t that also the name of the heir to the Crystal Empire thrown. I’ve heard of her.”

“You saved my planet once.” Flutterby Lily replied.

John then stepped in and said, “Kian, meet you’re new partner.”

The Blue Ranger then gasped, “Partner?”

“What you did for my people; it inspired me to join you in crusade to defend the galaxy. I wanted to be more than just another Alicorn princess; I wanted to help the universe.” The princess explained.

But all Kian could say in response was, “No.” he then walked away towards the elevator.

‘Lily and John were confused, ‘Lily asked, “No?”

“No, what?” John also asked.

The ranger turned back and said, “No partner, too risky.”

John groaned in annoyance before saying, “Look, mate; I know you’re still torn up about Rory, but next time you’re out there…”

“And Shockwave aims for me.” Kian said, cutting him off. “What’s to keep the princess from ending up like Rory?”

“Oh yeah, well maybe it’s the princess keeping you from ending up like Rory!” Hook then shouted.

Flutterby Lily then cut in, “Hello, ‘the princess’ has a name.”

Kian face palmed before saying, “Oh yeah, Princess Flutterby Lily, I work alone. Not to mention Adam will never let me hear the end of it, if I put a species he cares about in harm’s way.”

The princess then asked, “So you’re gonna stop Shockwave all by yourself?”

“That’s the plan.” Kian replied.

“But regulations clearly state that…”

The Blue Ranger then started yelling, which he rarely did, “I know the regulations, my team wrote half of them!” he then started to calm down. “I’m sure you’re fine cadet and you’ll make a great ranger someday; but as long as Shockwave or any Decepticon is gunning for me or members of my old team, any ranger who gets close to me is gonna get caught in the crossfire.”

John walked up to Kian and said, “You make and good point, mate; but Kian, there’s something you should know.”

“Yes, John.”

“YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT THERE WITHOUT BACKUP!!!” Hook screamed.

Kian walked towards the elevator, before he left he explained, “I’m sorry sir, but from this point on, the O.S.C Blue Ranger flies solo.” The elevator then took him away.

Location: O.S.C Shuttle Bay

Just because you have a job at O.S.C, that doesn’t mean that job will always be ranger related; some jobs are just the run-of-the-mill chores, like cleaning and tidying. And that job belonged to a young human girl, Lucy; when she signed up, this was not the job she wanted.

She was mopping the floor when two Clone Troopers ran past her, they used their key card to open the door to the shuttle bay; Lucy saw her chance and ran after them.

Lucy had always wanted to be a cadet, training to become a Power Ranger; however, her dream never came true. She never passed the entrance exam, they said the only way she could work here was if she became the cleaner.

While she was looking at the space ships, she imagined what it would be like if she could be a ranger; she didn’t care that she wasn’t allowed to be in here, she was just entranced by the size and power of the shuttles.

“Hey, cleaning girl.” said the guard that was on patrol. Lucy turned around to see a Clone Trooper in red and white armour; he said to her, “This area is authorised personal only.”

Not knowing what to do, Lucy had to quickly make up an excuse; she then said, “I was just taking a stroll around the building and noticed how dirty these floors were.” She then began mopping the floor to convince him.

But the Clone wasn’t buying, “Dirty indeed, just like your story. Guess what, you’re through.”

“She’s not through until I say so.”

Lucy and the Clone turned around to see Kian standing beside them; the trooper quickly showed respect to his superior by saluting. Lucy was relieved to see her friend; she now owed him for saving her neck.

When Lucy first started at the O.S.C, she knew nothing about what she was doing; she was surrounded by all these aliens and robots and robot aliens, so she pretty much kept to herself at first. That was until she met Kian, before he went to the planet Equestria, he and Wiktoria would always be there when she was having problems.

Kian then slid his finger on the floor and then looked at it, “Space dust, this place is filthy; you Clones should learn to wipe your feet before coming in here. I suppose that’s why the cleaner is in here with her mop.” He then turned to his friend and said, “Carry on, Lucy.”

“Yes sir.” She said back.

Before the Clone walked away, he muttered, “My mistake, sir.” He saluted one more time.

The ranger replied, “As you were, private.”

Kian was now left alone with Lucy, which meant that now he could scold her for being in here; he started with ,”Come on, Lucy; this is the third time this month, you know you’re not authorised to be in here.”

She replied in a sad tone, “I know, but I like to look at the star ships; I just want to be a Power Ranger so bad, Kian.”

Suddenly, Kian was called via Teletran 1; the AI announced, “O.S.C Blue Ranger, report to Dr Sandy’s lab, immediately.”

“Gotta go, Lucy.” Kian said before running off.

Lucy replied, “See ya, Kian.” Still feeling left out because she couldn’t be a ranger.

Location: Cybertron, Kaon

With Megatron gone, Shockwave was the new leader of the Decepticons; he had taken this opportunity to succeed where his former master failed. Kaon was now encased in a oxygen shield, Shockwave had taken alien life forms from all over the galaxy; he enslaved them to building his monstrous machines, and they were no good to him if they couldn’t breathe.

The Decepticon leader entered his main base of operations, where his lab workers were about to complete their current task.

Shockwave started by asking, “Where is my newest soldier?”

The Vehicon in charge replied, “We are about to open his stasis pod, master.”

After saying that, the Vehicon flipped a switch and the pod began opening; it took a moment for the Decepticon inside to wake up. The Con stepped out of his pod, revealing himself as the smoke cleared the room.

“Where am I?” the newly woken Decepticon asked.

Shockwave stepped forward and explained, “You are still on Cybertron, within the walls of Kaon. I woke you up for an important task. What is your name, soldier.”

The Con replied, “Bludgeon, the Decepticon Bounty Hunter.

Bludgeon asked, “Where is Lord Megatron?”

“Offline.” Shockwave replied. “You now take orders from me. Which means you will help carry out my master plan to insure total Decepticon victory.”

A Vehicon then walked up to Shockwave and said, “Um, master; your spy drone is in place.”

“Come Bludgeon, and I will show you your target.” The two Decepticons watched the video feed, they could see everything the spy drone was seeing.

The drone was on Equestria, the Crystal Empire to be exact; the drone was disguised as a bird, it had a hidden camera in its eye. The drone was watching all the ponies of the empire just got about their normal lives; they had no idea danger was on its way.

Suddenly, a horn was sounded from the centre of the kingdom; the ponies acted like they knew what this was for. They all dropped their tasks and began wandering towards the castle, the spy drone flew like a bird and followed the crowd.

As the horn kept going off, the ponies gather around the castle; standing on the balcony was the rulers of the empire, Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armour, Flutterby Lily’s parents.

Shining Armour pulled a sheet off the thing in-between them, revealing the Crystal Heart; the relic that protected the empire from the winters of the north.

The prince and the princess came together and placed their horns together; there a small spark of magic. The Crystal Heart then floated into the air, there was a large flash of light and everypony in the kingdom was transformed; their fur began sparkling like crystals, they had gems weaved into their manes.

Princess Cadence used her magic to hoist up the Crystal Heart, she announced to the crowd, “Here’s to the peace amongst our people; to the Crystal Heart.”

The crowd shouted back, “To the Crystal Heart!” they began clapping their hooves and stomping with joy.

None of them knew that the spy drone was watching everything.

Shockwave used his sharp finger to scratch the screen; he stated, “I must have that Crystal Heart; it is the one thing I need to complete my greatest creation.” He then turned to Bludgeon, he had a question for him, “Do you think you can handle this assignment?”

Bludgeon replied, “Can those little creatures stop someone like this.” The Con suddenly pulled a katana from his back and quickly sliced through the video screen, he defiantly had what it took.

Chapter 5

Location: O.S.C HQ, Dr Sandy’s Lab

Kian had been called to Daniel Sandy’s lab; he was the smartest scientist in the O.S.C, and was once a Power Ranger himself. That was until he lost his arm in the Great War against the Decepticons; which led to his dangerous lizard experiments.

But all that was in the past now; he’d called Kian to his lab, because Daniel had something to show his friend.

“What’s up, doctor?” Kian asked as he entered the lab.

The one armed scientist turned to his friend and explained, “I heard about your fight was John, Kian.”

But Kian replied, “No, it wasn’t a fight; it was just a minor disagreement. And in time, he’ll realise I work better alone these days.”

Daniel walked up to his friend and put his one arm around Kian’s shoulders; he explained to the ranger, “I have solved your partner problem.”

“Not you too. Look I can’t have a ‘partner problem’; because I don’t have a partner.” Kian took Daniel’s arm off him and tried to walk away.

Just before the Blue Ranger could leave the lab, Daniel managed to say, “But Tyler is perfect for you.”

This caught Kian’s attention; he turned back to Daniel and asked, “Tyler? Who’s Tyler?”

Daniel pumped his fist, whispering ‘yes’ to himself; he then led Kian over to what he meant. A spotlight then projected itself towards a curtain, Daniel stood in front of the curtain and looked towards Kian.

“Witness the future of space justice; I give to you….” He moved out of the light and announced, “Tyler, the Omega Ranger.”

Stepping out from behind the curtain, was a blond haired teenager, about the same age as Kian and wearing the classic O.S.C cadet jumpsuit; he stepped into the light and saluted, “Omega Ranger, reporting for duty, sir.”

All Kian could say about this guy was, “Kind of a flashy name, ‘Omega’, isn’t it?”

“Do you think so?” Daniel asked back.

The Blue Ranger walked towards the new ranger, he asked, “Ranger, if a Decepticon arms a bomb; what should you do to disarm it?” he was testing his knowledge.

Tyler replied with, “If I’m being honest; I haven’t got a clue.”

Daniel intervened and explained, “Uh Kian, Tyler doesn’t actually know much about the field; because he never went through any of the cadet training.”

“What?! Then how is he a ranger?” Kian replied, demanding to know.

The scientist explained, “Before he could start his training at the base, I was looking for volunteers to become a test subject for the new Omega Powers. And Tyler seemed like a worthy candidate.”

Kian stepped back and asked, “And, Olessia and John approved a ranger that skipped all the training.” The ranger turned to Daniel and said, “John hates skippers.”

Daniel chuckled and replied, “Well, he doesn’t exactly know.”

“He does now.”

Out of nowhere, General Hook walked into the lab; grunting as he entered. Daniel tried to defend himself the best he could, but John didn’t want to hear it; Daniel knew better than anyone that all rangers have to complete the training course before they can become Power Rangers.

“So, you went ahead and created that expendable ranger?” John said.

The scientist corrected him, “Uh, experimental ranger.”

“Unauthorised ranger!”

Daniel then handed John a clipboard, saying, “Actually, it was authorised by Olessia, the director; she was curious to see what the Omega Powers could do.”

Hook grunted again before saying, “Blast; he always gets me that way. I keep telling him and Olessia, no rookie could stand up to a real ranger.”

“He’s got you there, Daniel.” Kian stated.

“I thought of that; which is why I wanted to pair him up with Kian, he will watch and learn.” Daniel explained.

Tyler then said, “It’s true, I’m going to follow you orders, Kian. And learn how to be the best Power Ranger I can be.”

Kian thought for a sec; he liked the idea of being a mentor, but he wasn’t sure. He said to his friends, “I don’t know.”

Daniel gestured to Tyler and said, “At least give him a test run as your new partner.”

That last statement caught John attention and made him a little mad; the general then stated, “Kian, I already to you, Flutterby Lily is your new partner.”

“Why won’t anybody listen to me?” Kian said, then he started yelling to make his point, “No. More. Partners!!”

Suddenly, a beeping sound coming from Daniel’s computer caught the whole group’s attention; the scientist over to the console and check it out. It was an incoming transmission from another planet in the O.S.C Alliance.

Daniel explained what was happening, “It’s a distress call, from Equestria.”

The Blue Ranger came to a conclusion pretty quickly, “Shockwave!”

“A Decepticon attack force is invading the Crystal Empire.” Daniel explained. Before Kian could run off to his shuttle, the scientist said, “You better take Tyler with you; you might need his new powers.”

Looking over at John, Kian shrugged his shoulders; John did the same. The ranger then said, “Fine, come on rookie.”

Tyler pumped his fist before following his mentor to the ship; he couldn’t believe it, his first mission.

The Astro Mega Ship launched from O.S.C HQ, Kian sat in the pilot’s seat and Tyler sat next to him.

As they left the atmosphere, Kian turned to Tyler and explained some things to him, “Now while we’re on this mission, I want to make a few things clear; we’re not partners, we’re not friends. You will only address me as sir; is that understood.”

“Yes.” Tyler replied, he then thought for a sec. “I mean, ‘yes sir’, sir.”

Kian just focused on flying the ship; their destination, Equestria. The Blue Ranger thought to himself for a while; that was until Tyler came out with a question.

He asked, “You spent some time on the planet Equestria; about a whole year. So for you, this mission is a little like going home.”

“Yeah, home.” Kian replied, that statement made him think about some things; Applejack, the Apple Family, and Wiktoria. “Home.” He said one last time.

Location: The Crystal Empire

Status: Under Attack (obviously)

The streets of the Crystal Empire were engulfed in flames, ponies were running for their lives all over the place; protecting their children and helping those that could not run. All while they were fleeing from the Tronics that were invading the empire.

The royal guards tried to fight back, but their weapons, spears and rocks, were no match for Decepticon artillery.

One of the ponies was shouting, “The Crystal Heart.” Others started shouting that name as well.

“We must get to the Crystal Heart!”

“Get to the Crystal Heart!”

A large explosion went off behind them, all the ponies in the kingdom ran for the castle; they ran for the aid of the prince and princess. Cadence and Shining Armour ran onto the balcony where the Crystal Heart was kept; they had to address their subjects.

Princess Cadence announced, “Fear not, my ponies! For the magic of the Heart will protect us.” Cadence locked hooves with her husband, they touched their horns together to activate their magic. They both said in unison, “We are one.”

The rest of the ponies from all over the empire began chanting as well, they locked hooves as well and chanted, “We are united, we are powerful…”

All the unicorns’ horns began glowing, as did the Crystal Heart; they finally chanted, “We are….”

Suddenly, the roof over where they were all standing exploded; the balcony collapsed. Shining Armour grabbed Cadence and jumped to the ground, he landed on his back and she landed on him; the Crystal Heart was lost in the rubble.

Cadence looked up at the hole in the roof, she could see a Decepticon Dropship flying above them; she muttered, “Oh no.”

Bludgeon was flying that ship; when he saw their way into the castle grounds, he ordered into the comm channel, “Tronics, move in.”

A squad of Shockwave’s robots jumped through the hole in the roof; when they landed on the ground, they scared all the ponies away. The Tronics pointed their weapons at them, intending to blast the ponies; but before they could, an electric-blast came out of nowhere and took out the leading robot.

Standing over the hole in the roof, was none other than Kian and Tyler; the Blue Ranger stated to the citizens, “No worries, little ponies; O.S.C is on the job.” The ponies cheered a little when they saw the two rangers above; but they went back to cowering when the Tronics began attacking again.

The two ranger began firing their taser-blasters at the robots; while firing, Tyler said, “At ease little horsy people.” The two of them jumped from where they were and went back to back against the Tronics.

Once all the Cons were down, they assumed their job here was done; but it wasn’t.

Another explosion came from a wall beside them, an explosion that let in more robots; once they were inside, they surrounded the two rangers. All hope seemed lost, there were dozens of Tronics, and all the exits had been cut off.

“Can I ask a question?” Tyler asked.

Kian replied, “Is this going to be one of those obvious-answer rookie-questions that the answer to is really simple but you don’t know it because you’re rookie.”

Tyler replied, “That’s a thing?” The Blue Ranger turned to him with an annoyed look on his face; Tyler got the message and said, “Okay; would now be a good time to morph?”

“Yes!” Kian replied.

After pulling his morpher out of his pocket, Kian asked, “You ready?”

Tyler showed the morpher he had on his wrist and replied, “Ready.”

They both shouted in unison, “O.S.C, Emergency!”

Both of them stood before the Tronics as Power Rangers; Kian turned to Tyler and said, “Got hand it to Daniel, that’s a nice suit.”

“Thanks.” Tyler replied. He then said, “Now let me show you what it can do.” The Omega Ranger held up his morpher, it released a motorcycle handle on its side, Tyler twisted the handle and shouted, “Omega Morpher, Electro Mode!” The ranger then punched the ground, all the Tronics were shocked with electricity that was covering the ground.

Bludgeon was watching the whole thing from the Dropship; he then said into the comm link that contacted his master, “Bludgeon to Shockwave; they sent the Blue Ranger.”

Shockwave replied, “That’s why I, sent you.”

The Decepticon bounty hunter jumped from his ship and landed in front of the rangers. He then transformed into his alternate mode, a tank, and drove off into the city streets.

Kian saw him drive away and muttered, “A new player.” He then turned to Tyler and said, “We have to go after him.”

“I’ve got just the thing.” The Omega Ranger pushed a button on his morpher and spoke into it, “Omega Max Cycle.”

Suddenly, a flash create a one-large-wheeled motorbike; Tyler straddled the bike and motioned Kian to get with him. Seeing no other option, Kian got on the bike.

The Blue Ranger asked, “You have driven this thing before, right?”

“Nope.” Tyler replied.

“Alright, well just be…” before he could say the final word, Tyler revved the engine and sped away. “Carful!” Kian cried, finishing his last sentence. The two ranger drove after Bludgeon, this started the chase through the streets of the Crystal Empire.

Bludgeon was able to turn his tank gun around and fire at the rangers; Tyler pulled some fancy driving to avoid his blasts. The Omega Ranger cried, “Lasers!” his bike then firing red and blue lasers from the sirens on the handle bars; now Bludgeon was the one who had to do the dodging.

Kian was able to shout, “We’ve got him on the run!” That was until they chased the Con into a smoke cloud, they drove into the smog after him.

Tyler then stated, “Yeah, we’ve got him on the…” they left the smoke before he could finish, Bludgeon had disappeared. “Run?”

Out of nowhere, a tank blast flew over their heads and just missed them; Bludgeon then sped passed them. Kian fired a shot from his Delta Striker, but missed the shot.

After a few more minutes of them chasing the Decepticon, Kian complimented, “He's good.” He then aimed his blaster at Bludgeon’s tires, and fired a single shot; the shot took out his tires and caused him to skid out of control. The Con drove up a piece of debris like a ramp, he was thrown through the air; he transformed back to bot mode before landing on a rooftop. “But I’m better.” Kian stated.

The two rangers drove up the same ramp, they landed on a different roof; the left the bike and jumped from one building to another, landing them on a sloping roof they were now using for cover. Bludgeon took out a blaster and began firing at the ranger; one of his shots managed to hit the roof where Tyler was holding on, he lost his grip and sled off the roof.

“Tyler!” Kian cried, fearing for his life.

When suddenly, a grapple hook was thrown to the tip of the roof; the grapple line was attached to Tyler’s morpher, he pulled himself back up. “He’s good, but I’m better.” Tyler stated.

The Blue Ranger said back, “I guess you can be taught.” He then aimed his blaster at where Bludgeon was, “Watch this.” He said. Kian began shooting his blaster, he then pushed a switch that made it keep firing while he took his finger off the trigger; the two of them started sliding down the roof.

Kian told Tyler, “They never see this coming.” But then the ranger gasped when he saw Bludgeon hovering in front of them; rocket boosters were coming out of his feet.

“Saw it coming.” The Decepticon replied. Kian went for his blaster, but Bludgeon fired a shot from his; blowing the Delta Striker to pieces.

“Tyler, gun.” Kian ordered, asking for a weapon.

But Tyler replied, “I don’t have a gun.” Bludgeon heard this and fired a blast from his gun; the blast struck Tyler in the chest and knocked him unconscious. The Omega Ranger demorphed and fell off the roof, he landed on a fruit stand below.

Bludgeon turned back to the castle, he noticed the larger ship that was flying above it, the Nemesis; he spoke into the comm, “Bludgeon to Shockwave; the Crystal Heart’s all yours.”

Two Vehicon troopers were digging through the debris at the castle, they found the Crystal Heart, intact, under the rocks. They both transformed to jet mode and flew the crystal relic up to the ship; all the ponies on the ground were panicking at this.

Once the Crystal Heart was on the Nemesis, the ship began to slowly fly away; once the ship was far enough away, it started to snow.

Cadence and Shining Armour looked up at the sky, it was snowing; the ponies, including the royals began to worry, with the Crystal Heart, the Crystal Empire will be consumed by the snowy north.

Before the ship could leave, Bludgeon would have to be on it; the Decepticon turned back to Kian and stated, “You’re good, but I’m better.” He then shot Kian with a low powered blast, knocking him on his back; Bludgeon then flew up to the ship.

The Blue Ranger jumped down to the ground where Tyler was; he checked him, he was still alive. Once he was okay, Kian took out his morpher to contact Earth.

“This is O.S.C Blue, Kian reporting; mission update, status: we failed. The Crystal Heart has been captured, and…” he looked down at the rookie he was meant to mentor, “We have a ranger down.”

Chapter 6

Location: O.S.C HQ, Command Centre

After returning to Earth from their mission on Equestria, Kian and Tyler had to report directly to John and Olessia. The O.S.C Director was going to be lenient about this situation; however, John was just going to use this as an excuse to yell at the two rangers.

“What the heck was that?!” Hook yelled.

Kian stepped forward, “We didn’t anticipate there being a second Decepticon there; next time, we’ll be ready.”

General Hook replied, “’Next time’? There’s no next time.” He then turned to Tyler, who seemed like he was going to take the wrap for this, “And you, I said that a rookie ranger wasn’t going to cut it out there; new power or not.”

“I’m sorry; I’d never faced a Decepticon before, I didn’t know what to expect.” Tyler explained.

John said back, “Well you don’t have to worry about fighting Decepticons anymore.” John held out his hand, “Turn in your morpher.”

The Blue Ranger stepped forward and tried to defend Tyler, “Now, John; let’s think about this…”

But Hook cut him off and yelled at the Omega Ranger, “I gave you an order, cadet!”

Tyler had no choice but to comply, he took his morpher off his wrist and handed it to John; then looked at his feet, ashamed of his failure to stop the Cons. General Hook then explained Tyler’s fate, what was going to happen to him, “Normally, I would have your employment terminated for a performance like that. But, because this isn’t entirely your fault, you were unprepared to go out there; you will remain at O.S.C, on the janitorial staff.”

A Clone Trooper then walked into the command centre, John ordered the Clone, “Sargent, take this cadet to Lucy at the janitor’s office; have her show him the ropes of the mops and buckets.”

“Yes sir, General.” The Clone replied. Tyler followed the Clone out the door, he sulked in sorrow as he walked away.

Kian then turned his attention back to Olessia and John; they had an even bigger problem.

Olessia explained, “Without the Crystal Heart, the Crystal Empire is going to be plunged into an ice age; we have to find it and restore it before that kingdom is lost forever.”

John then cried, “Blast, the Cons know that the Crystal Empire is full of powerful magic; some of the most powerful in all Equestria. Shockwave stole that thing just to turn that place into a giant snow cone.”

“I don’t think so, John.” Kian said stepping forward. “If that’s all Shockwave wanted, he could have destroyed the Crystal Heart. Instead he had his new lackey, Bludgeon, steal it.”

The Director asked, “But why, what’s he going to do with it.”

Kian replied, “I don’t know exactly; but I guarantee this is Shockwave’s most diabolical scheme yet.”

Location: Deep Space, the star-ship Nemesis

“This is my most ingenious scheme I have ever come up with.” Shockwave said, complimenting himself. But he then turned to his Vehicon scientists, “That’s as if the freak show, known as my minions; can do one thing right!” the Con shouted.

All the Vehicons were working in the lab that Shockwave had on his ship, they were forcing the organic slave they had to build a large machine in the centre of the lab; the Vehicon that seemed to be in charge approached Shockwave to explain the status.

The Con said, “Well, it seems that all things will be put into motion, ahead of schedule. The Time Portal is almost operational, and now we have a power source; the recently stolen Crystal Heart. Now we can use the portal to travel to the day the Power Rangers defeated Nightmare Moon, so you can….” The Con was confused on this last bit, “Stop that from happening.”

Shockwave was starting to get annoyed, “You’re telling me my plan, I already know my plan, I made up the plan, it’s my plan. What I don’t know, is close you are, to accomplishing my plan!”

Now scared for his life, the Vehicon said, “Right, of course master. Now the first thing to do, would be to supercharge the Crystal Heart with another source of power; as powerful as it is, we are attempting to break the laws of time and space here.”

“I KNOW!!” Shockwave cried, he then released a blast from his cannon, knocking the Vehicon out of the way.

The Crystal Heart was on a stand in the middle of the lab, Shockwave approached the Heart; another Vehicon approached him with a container, when it opened, it revealed a shard of Dark Energon. “Like Nana always told me….” The Con stated. “If you want something corrupted, corrupt it yourself. That’s what she always told me, and she was plenty corrupted.”

Shockwave took the shard, he held it up and then stabbed the Dark Energon into the Crystal Heart; the Heart then absorbed the Energon into itself, corrupting its magic. The Crystal Heart began turning purple, and cracks were forming all over it; once the Energon was gone, there was a large flash of purple light.

All the Decepticons stood back and looked at the evil Crystal Heart, its magic was only good for corrupting the good and it was more powerful than ever.

As Shockwave walked away, he muttered to himself, “Oh Nana, you’d be so proud of me.”

Location: O.S.C HQ

Status: Preparing for battle

All of O.S.C was on high-alert, all Clone Troopers were preparing for an invasion; no one had any idea what the Decepticons were planning, so they had to prepare for the worst. A meeting had been called in the control room, all the generals, captains and ranger cadets had been called to it; John was making the announcements.

Just outside the control room, the two janitors were moping the floor; Lucy saw two rangers run past her to get to the meeting.

She attempted to make conversation, “Hey, what’s going o…”

Before she could finish, the ranger cadets replied, “Sorry, can’t talk.

“It’s top secret.” Another one said.

Lucy watched them runaway, she tried to say, “Do you guys need me to empty the waste bins or something, in there.”

Suddenly, Kian walked up behind her, also going to the meeting; she said to her, “Sorry, Lucy; this is Power Ranger business.” He then walked into the control room and locked the door behind him. Lucy just sighed and walked back to where Tyler was; they both made their way to the next place that needed to be cleaned.

Meanwhile, General Hook was explaining the situation to all the members of the this little council, “By now you’ll heard about the this little situation we have; Shockwave has the entire Decepticon army at his metal finger tips. If we don’t stop him now, he could plunge us, and this galaxy, into another galactic civil war.” John pulled up a hologram, he then said, “This is the Decepticon command ship, the Nemesis; we’ve tracked it to the Silfrax Galaxy. I suggest we hit that thing with everything we’ve got, now!”

One of the members of this little group was none other than Flutterby Lily, she’d passed her training and was on the verge of becoming a ranger; hence was she was at this meeting. She stepped forward with a little idea that didn’t involve a full scale attack; she said, “Uh, General; I think I might have a better suggestion.”

“Shoot.” Hook replied.

Flutterby Lily explained her plan, “Well, I’ve been studying Decepticon defences, and I think a small one man ship could….”

“Could slip past Shockwave’s defences unnoticed.” Kian said, butting in.

The Alicorn continued, “Exactly, a single ranger could dock with the Nemesis and board the ship; once inside they could take out that ship, from within.”

John was thinking about this, up until Kian said, “And with a small cargo ship, I could easily…”

“Wait a minute.” Flutterby Lily said, stopping Kian from talking. “It was my idea, I should go.”

The Blue Ranger shook his head in disagreement, “Sorry, it’s too big of an assignment for a princess.”

“Princess, I am a Power Ranger.” ‘Lily replied.

“Not yet, you’re not.”

Tired of them fighting, Hook stepped in between them and said, “You know, you two really should be partners. Because you’re both big headed show offs!” he yelled. “You both want to do this assignment; so you’re going to do it together, like you should have been doing in the first place. As partners! Understood?”

Both Kian and ‘Lily answered in unison, “Yes sir.”

Location: O.S.C HQ, Cafeteria (avoid the meatloaf)

Lucy and Tyler were mopping the entire cafeteria; the room was the size of a banqueting hall, because it did have to sit over a thousand people a day. Lucy was used these sort of jobs by now, but Tyler was not enjoying himself at all.

“How much longer do we have to do this?” the former ranger asked.

His new friend replied, “The cafeteria is a high traffic area, this could take a while.”

Having heard that, Tyler had finally had enough; he dropped his mop and suggested, “Hey, here’s a thought; we ditch work and do something fun.” Lucy turned around in shock, she could not believe she had just heard that.

Lucy replied, “How could you even suggest that; I would never abandon my duties. Kian would were be disappointed.”

Saying that name caught Tyler’s attention, “Wait, when you say ’Kian’, do you mean the Blue Ranger?”

“As if there’s any other Kian.” Lucy replied.

“You know, I used to be the Blue Ranger’s partner.” Tyler explained, making Lucy gasp with joy. This gave Tyler an idea, he wanted to get away from this job, and now he might have just had a way; he suggested to the janitor, “Hey, how would you like a tour of an actual spaceship?”

Lucy replied, “Are you serious?”

“Hey, what’s the worst that could happen?” Tyler said back.

Location: O.S.C HQ, Ship Hanger

Kian and Flutterby Lily entered the hanger and made their way to the ship they were going to use for the mission; it was an old cargo ship that clones would use to make supply runs during the first war the O.S.C was involved with.

An old Twilight Ship, it was small enough to slip anyone past the Decepticon defences, without being detected. The ranger and the Alicorn boarded the ship, unaware of the two stowaways in the back.

Tyler and Lucy were in the back of the ship, looking at all the engines and gears.

“Wow, this is incredible; these all help the ship fly?” Lucy asked.

“Yep.” Tyler replied. “And we haven’t been caught; just stick with me and everything will be okay.”

Before he could back those words up, the ship started shaking; the two janitors fell to the floor as the ship prepared to take off.

Kian made contact with the control room, “Twilight One, permission to launch?”

Daniel replied, from the control room, “You are clear for lift off.”

“Roger that.” The Blue Ranger replied.

With that said, the ship took off out of the hanger and flew to space; once the ship was far enough away from Earth, they made the jump to hyperspace. And they still had no idea that there were two people in the back of their ship.

Location: Nemesis

Shockwave was ready to test his machine, the Time Portal was ready for the next stage; he began barking orders at his workers.

“Time Portal ready to enter test phase; install the Dark Crystal Heart.” The Decepticon ordered. The Vehicons used special equipment to carry the Heart to the portal; the loaded it into the power chamber, once inside, the Time Portal charged up to full capacity. “Now, load the Energon Fusion Cell.”

One of the captive slaves used a mechanical crane to load a giant battery like device into the Time Portal; the fusion cell had a plus and minus picture on each end, making it look like a battery even more.

Shockwave pulled a lever, generating a portal; the vortex was glowing green and swirling like a spiral.

The Con was about to step into the vortex and fulfil his plan, but then he remembered what all inventers should do before using their machines. He saw that one of the Vehicons was standing next to him; he pulled that Con to the side and said, “Let me know how you get on in there.”

Before the Vehicon could say anything, Shockwave pushed him into the portal; everyone waited a few minutes for his return, when he finally did, something was off.

Walking out of the portal, the Vehicon was covered in burn marks and rusts; another Vehicon walks up to help him, but it was too late. The one that went through the portal took one more step, and then fell over; collapsing into pieces.

Shockwave already knew what had caused this, so in an angry tone, he turned to the slave that worked the crane and asked, “When loading the Energon Fusion Cell; did you remember to put the plus end at the plus part, and the minus end at the minus part?!!”

The slave turned to the Cell, he had loaded it in upside-down.

Instead of vaporising him, or throwing that slave out the air lock; all Shockwave did was sigh, “Huh, Adam would know how build this thing.”
