The Return of Magic Part 1

A dark and clear night. Not like how most stories start. However this night is like no other in the Monarchy of Equestria. In the city of Zephyr Heights, a young woman works in a lab with three magic crystals. Now magic has been considered to be pure fantasy. However she found the only three objects containing powerful magic inside. They were kept separate to ensure they don’t activate. So this woman can work on them.

This woman is in her late teens. She has pale skin and her hair is a brilliant raspberry with brilliant rose and moderate cyan highlights. She puts the finishing touches on a red colored wrist mounted device. She has made four of them. Each one a different color. The five colors are pink, yellow, green, blue, and finally the red device. She lays it next to the other four.

“Finally done!” she said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “Now to activate the Unity Crystal.”

She places the three separate crystals together and they activate. The Unity Crystal floats into the air and lets out a burst of magical energy. Then another more powerful burst. Now she was getting worried these might wake up everyone in the castle. So you see, she is not only a scientist, but also Princess Zipp Storm Zephyr of the Royal Family. The current rulers of Equestria.

Outside the castle though two women walk up towards the castle. Staring at it and pondering how they will enter at such a time. Then the magical bursts began and appear to start making the castle rumble.

“I think we found what we’re looking for my Queen.” said the younger woman about Zipp’s age, with navy blue and teal curly hair. Her “Queen” is an older woman in purple armor. With her long hair in the color scheme of opal gemstones. Queen Opalline is a mysterious being. No one knows where is from or how she gained her status as queen. She’s not even the ruler of a country. In fact she’s so mysterious that no one has even heard of her before.

“Yes! Now’s our chance Misty!” Opalline said.

Misty magically dons her blue armor, with a helmet. Which has a unicorn horn on the helmet’s forehead. Opalline’s armor is the same, but with black feathery wings on her back. Both levitate to Zipp’s tower laboratory, as panic sets within the castle.

“Zipp!” her sister Pipp Petals Zephyr shouts as she kicks open the door to Zipp’s lab. Pipp’s hair is a purple color.

“PIPP! LOOK OUT!” Zipp screams at the top of her lungs. Another burst of magic erupted from the Unity Crystal. Zipp shields her sister from the blast, as at the same time Opalline and Misty burst through the wall.

“You seem to have found it.” Opalline told Zipp, who was just getting to her feet. “Thank you so much for finding it for me. Now with all of Equestria’s ancient magic in my hands. I can finally reclaim what is rightfully mine.”

Another burst knocks everyone back. However, this time a ghostly figure of a woman in a purple sequin dress appears. Her hair is dark sapphire blue with moderate purple and brilliant raspberry streaks.

“No! Not you!” Opalline exclaimed. The woman flew towards Opalline and Misty and attacked them. Punching and Kicking them with ferocity and magic. The woman knocked the two away. However Opalline was not done. She used her own dark magic to cause a burst of energy to destroy more of the castle, parts of the city and knock Zipp into the air. Zipp tries to use her own wrist mounted device, but she gets sealed into a dark crystal, unable to move.

“Fine!” Opalline exclaimed, “If that is the way it has to be… I’m taking your precious Zipp with me! You’ll never see her ever again!”

Opalline and Misty disappeared into the night with Zipp. Pipp feel to her knees as royal guards enter the room. They’re immediately awe struck at the sight of the ghostly woman. Who lowers herself to Pipp to comfort her. Pipp looks the woman right into her eyes, and recognizes her.

“Aren’t you the Goddess, Twilight Sparkle?” she asked.

“I am Pipp… I am the Goddess that sealed away ancient magic many years ago.” Twilight said.

“How can I get my sister back?”

Twilight notices the five devices and smirks. “Go find four of your friends and bring them here. I’ll explain everything then.”

Opening Theme

The next day Pipp called up her four best friends. Hitch Trailblazer, who is tanned with arctic blue and aquamarine hair. Izzy Moonbow, a dark skinned woman with hair that is a gradient cerulean to brilliant cobalt blue. Magus Spellblade, a young man around the other’s age with blazing red hair. Finally Hitch’s life long friend, Sunny Starscout, who has a farmer’s tan with moderate rose and heliotrope colored hair.

“A thousand years ago I was once the Maiden of Faith. One of six Maidens of Harmony.” twilight said, “After the defeat of King Sombra and Nightmare Moon by the Celestial Guard Power Rangers, I was crowned Princess of Equestria. I ruled for years in peace and harmony. However dark magic began to grow. This was the work of Queen Opalline. She conquered and took the magic from everyone. No one could stop her. When she reached Canterlot, then capital of Equestria. My friends and I had to do something. We chose to seal up all of the magic into three crystals, and seal them away. We did so, and Opalline herself was sealed. I had to sacrifice all magic inside the Unity Crystal, as the three pieces were separated to ensure they’re never found again.”

“I take it Zipp found the three pieces?” Pipp asked.

“Yes!” Twilight said, “They made me a Goddess to the people, when my spirit lingered to ensure the Unity crystal was never put back together, unless I wanted it to be. The third Goddess to Celestia and Luna. However, over time we were forgotten and labeled as myths by modern people. I visited Zipp in her dreams. I knew you two studied the legends of the Three Goddesses, Pipp. I could see it in the dreams of your sister. It was all I needed for inspiration. Zipp found the three pieces and reunited the crystals. I helped her build the power that will defeat Queen Opalline.”

“Wait… What’s going on?” Sunny spoke up for the first time in this exposition dump. The five devices. Each one wrapped itself to the left wrist of the five. Pipp got the pink one, Hitch yellow, Izzy green, Magus blue and Sunny with the red.

“These are your Magic Morphers.” Twilight said, “These very devices will let you use the magic of the Unity Crystal to become…”

“Power Rangers!” Pipp exclaimed.

“Exactly!” Twilight morphed the five into their Ranger forms. Each one represents the color of their Morpher. The top half of their outfits resemble the kimonos of Neighpon, and neighboring nation to Equestria. The bottom halves were just colored pants, with a skirt for the young women. There are personal differences with each suit. Not just the helmets.

Hitch’s helmet is in the form of an oni mask, with no unique suit. Pipp’s helmet is the form of a bird; she also has wings on her back. Magus’ helmet is in the form of a primate, like a gorilla; his arms are covered in a blue fur. Izzy’s helmet is in the form of a dog, with no change to her suit. The same with Sunny’s suit, but her visor is in the form of a peach.

“Oh I see Zipp has some inspiration herself.” Twilight said with a chuckle, Those suits are inspired from the legend of Momotaro.”

“Zipp always loved ancient legends.” Pipp replied.

“That legend was written around my time.” Twilight said.

The five returned to their normal selves.

“Now we must figure out where Opalline took Zipp!” Twilight exclaimed.

Somewhere in a dark part of Equestria. Opalline and Misty entered Opalline’s hideout, a cave. Zipp was still encased in the crystal, and put on display.

“So what should we do with her, my Queen?” Misty asked.

“For now nothing!” Opalline replied, “We need to get that crystal, and I know how we can do it. WISPS!”

Several of the thin demonic creatures that faced off a different Power Rangers team a thousand years ago, rose up from the ground. How were they still alive and how did Opalline get them to work for her is unknown. It is possible she acquired the essence of Nightmare Moon when she acquired her dark magic, but the Nightmares have returned to taunt humanity once more.

Opalline said words in a strange tongue. A glowing purple cloud swirled in front of her. Until said cloud burst into a raging hellfire. When it subsided, two demonic figures stood there. One was a male red horned figure in black and red armor, and an inverted pentagram on the chest plate. The other was a female black figure with leathery bat wings on her back, and she wore a blood red robe. With an inverted pentagram pendant on a chain. The two turned to Opalline and kneeled before her.

“You summoned us, my Queen?” the red figure asked.

“Ah yes General Lucifer!” she replied, “It is good to see you and Mother Lilith once more.”

“I take it the Unity Crystal has been found?” Mother of the Covenant Lilith asked.

“It has and that Princess Twilight Sparkle is now a Goddess! Protecting the crystal from me!” Opalline exclaime, “We have to destroy her and take the crystal for ourselves.”

“I shall handle this, my Queen.” Lilith then formed an inverted pentagram with her dark magic on the floor in front of her. Speaking in the same tongue as Opalline earlier. Lilith summons two demons. Both are humanoid bears. Then she combines them both into one powerful demon, with two heads.

“Ursa Demon!” Lilith said, “Take a squad of Wisps with you and take back the Unity Crystal!”

“At once Mother!” Ursa Major said.

“We won’t return without the crystal!” Ursa Minor added.

“Oh but do cause some chaos and destruction.” Lucifer said.

Ursa bows and takes its leave. Going above ground to ransack Zephyr Heights.

It was now night time as the newly formed Power Rangers were getting tired. However before they could even ask the guards for blankets and beds. A sudden earthquake shook the castle and surrounding city. Then came the screaming and running. Outside people were running for their lives. Running from something that was causing chaos.

“Rangers!” Twilight exclaimed, “It seems the Nightmares have returned! How? I don’t know, but it must be the work of Opalline!”

“But how are we supposed to transform?” Sunny asked, We have our Morphers but no way to morph.”

Twilight uses her magic to open a box. Inside are five gears, each one colored coded to match a specific Ranger.

“Use these!” Twilight exclaimed, “Zipp made these to work with your Morphers. They’re called Ranger Gears.”

Each grabbed their Ranger Gear and stood in a horizontal line, with Sunny in the center.

“It’s morphin’ time!” Sunny exclaims as they place the gears onto their Morphers and spin them. The gears generate magical energy. Which envelopes the respective Ranger and forms their spandex suit over them, followed by their helmets. Then they’re magically teleported to the scene of the commotion.

“Okay I didn’t expect us to get teleported like that!” Izzy said.

On their left was one of their standard sidearms, a katana. On the right were blasters. When they saw the Wisps and Ursa running towards them. They instinctively unsheathed their katanas and charged forth. Almost like they were through this, and knew what to do. The five took on the Wisps. Each taking on five and easily taking them down.

Hitch slices one Wisp in half and blocks another’s weapon. “What is going on!? It’s like I am being compelled to fight like this! Even though I never learned to fight like this in my life!”

/Rangers! It’s me!/ Twilight said telepathically, /This is normal for a while! The magic is helping you fend off the Nightmares, until you can learn to fight on your own!/

“I think I understand Twilight!” Magus said, “Well let’s enjoy it while it lasts!”

Magus cuts down two more Wisps before slashing away at another. Izzy dodges the sword of one Wisps, before cleaving it in half at the waist. The number of Wisps was lowering as the fight continued, with Ursa just standing there watching his foot soldiers

“Alright ENOUGH!” Ursa Major said, as the demon stomped down his foot hard onto the ground and made the Wisps vanish. “Now you fight me!”

The Rangers charged at the Ursa Demon. Only for him to block and strike them down without breaking a sweat.

“This guy is tougher than the Wisps.” Sunny said, “He is tougher than the other Nightmares!”

“Us Nightmares?” Ursa Minor said, “You got it all wrong. The Nightmares were defeated with the defeat of Nightmare Moon. No, we're something even more powerful altogether. We’re demons of the Hell Army!”

“It doesn’t matter who you are!” Pipp said.

“Because we’ll defeat anyone who hurts the innocent and tries to steal the Unity Crystal!” Sunny exclaimed.

“You can’t stop us!” Ursa Major exclaimed. The Rangers stood up and sheathed their katanas, and unholstered their blasters. The five Rangers took aim and fired. Their single shots didn’t do enough damage. Ursa just marched toward them, absorbing the damage he was taking.

“This isn’t working!” Sunny exclaimed. She thought about it for a second. “Hey why don’t we fire a combined charge shot!”

“Will that work Sunny?” Hitch asked.

“It’s the only option!” Sunny exclaimed and the Rangers stood in a line again. Each holding down the trigger and charging the magical energy. Until finally they took aim and fired. The five bursts of magic combined into one rainbow ball of magic, which hit Ursa head on and actually destroyed him.

“WE DID IT!” The Rangers cheered in triumph. However, it was not over. As another inverted pentagram formed under the remains. Then magically revived Ursa and grew him into a giant.

“We’ve been Titan Sized, Minor!” Ursa Major exclaimed.

“So we have, brother!” Ursa Minor replied.

“Twilight! What do we do!?” Sunny asked.

/I don’t know! Zipp didn’t make any Zord Gears for you to summon your Zords!/

The Rangers would be doomed if they couldn’t combat the demon. However, a male figure wearing a unique Ranger suit and helmet stood on a nearby cliff. Watching the Rangers fight this new menace. This stranger’s suit si white with five stripes running down the center of the helmet and suit. The five stripes were the colors of pink, yellow, red, green and blue. The red stripe in particular is thicker than the other four.

“So they’re in danger without any Zords.” the stranger said. He produces five Zord Gears of the original Dino Zords. Then they magically teleported into the Rangers hands. “Use them Rangers. For they’re only hope now!”

Sunny looked at the Tyrannosaurus Zord Gear in her hand.

“Where did these come from!?” she asked.

/I didn’t send those to you, but this is perfect as now you have temporary Zords to fight Ursa with…/ Twilight said, /Quick slide them into the side chamber on your Magic Blasters!/

They did what they’re told and spun the gears. Charging up magical energy until they aimed their Blasters into the air and fired. The magic that exited flew into the air and formed the five Dino Zords. Once against the Mastodon, Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Sabretooth Tiger and Tyrannosaurus Zords rode again. The Rangers jumped into their respective Zord. Withy Izzy piloting the Mastodon Zord.

“Alright guys!” Sunny shouted.

“WE NEED MEGAZORD POWER NOW!”

“MEGAZORD SEQUENCE HAS BEEN INITIATED!” A computer voice said aloud.

The five Zords combined to form together into the mighty Megazord. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers original ultimate weapon. Soon the Megazord face off against the Ursa Demon. Both ready to fight. The joint cockpit of the Megazord was radically different than the original cockpit. The cockpit is now a spacious place where all five Rangers stand on a small platform. They can move freely and whatever they do, the Megazord will mimic. However it starts walking by itself. The Rangers get into a fighting position, and when Ursa goes to deliver a punch. The Rangers block it.

This is how the fight goes. The Rangers would make a move, and Ursa would counter it and strike back. The Megazord gets one hit in with a right kick to Ursa's chest. Then the Ursa fires a beam of energy at the Megazord, which is hit in the chest. Causing sparks to fly off the chest and in the cockpit, Sparks erupted out of the walls.

“We have to finish this guys!” Pipp said.

“But how!” Sunny asked. Then the answer appeared in their visors. “We need the Power Sword now!”

Five two handed single edged swords appeared before the Rangers. They grabbed their own sword. The Power Sword appears in the Megazords hands, which is also two handed now.

The Rangers made a circle with their own swords. Energizing them with magical energy. The Power Sword was doing the same thing. Gathering energy until it did a complete circle, where the sword was held in front of its face.

“Mega Sword! Mega Slash!” Sunny exclaimed and All five Rangers slashed their swords diagonally. The Power did the same and cleaved through the demon. The Megazord turns around and does a victory pose, as the demon lets out a death groan. Before falling to the ground and exploding into flames.

The stranger was satisfied when the Megazord vanished and the Zord Gears returned to him.

“Thank you Zords!” He said, “And I will always watch over you Rangers. When you need my assistance. I will always be there.”

The stranger walked off the clif and to who knows where. Ready when the Rangers needs help again.

Back at the Underground Lair. Opalline wasn’t taking this too well…

“A new team of Power Rangers!” Opalline shouted. To say she was mad would be an understatement. She was furious.

“We’ve destroyed the other team of Power Rangers a thousand years ago, and we will do so again, my Queen” Lucifer stated.

The Rangers gathered back into the lab. Celebrating their first victory.

“I don’t know where those gears came from, but they came to you when they did!” Twilight said excitedly.

“We may never know where they came from or who sent them, but it was great that they did!” Sunny said.

Twilight nodded, “Right! Whoever is giving you those Zord Gears will probably do the same again. At least until your own personal Zord Gears are built. Maybe you could still use the gears of Power Rangers past with your own Zords.”

“That would be great!” Pipp said.

“But Twilight… What actually happened when Queen Opalline attacked the last time?” Hitch asked.

“Well Hitch… Since you were so nice to ask…” Twilight began to recount the story.

Author's Note

This story is a somewhat of a sequel story, to a story that Azure Sandora is still writing. I would also like to note that this is my version of Power Rangers 30th Anniversary. So it combines both Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger, and Avataro Sentai DonBrothers.
