Filmatic Escapades: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie
Ecto-Morphicons Reconstructed and the Trials of Phaedos
Previous ChapterBack on Phaedos, the Power Rangers, along with Twilight and her friends, had continued their trek through the jungle. Their journey soon took them to a clearing littered with what looked like gigantic bones.
"What is this place?" Nyx asked, feeling a sense of unease.
"Looks like some kinda graveyard," Billy responded.
"G-G-G-Graveyard?" Fluttershy asked fearfully.
"I wonder what happens to them all?" Kimberly inquired nervously as they walked past a triceratop skull.
"Personally, I'd rather not find out," Adam remarked in a cautious tone.
"That goes double fer me." Applejack agreed.
"We better stick together." Twilight said cautiously, "Something could attack us here at any moment."
"What's gonna happen, are the skeletons gonna come alive and attack us?" Rainbow asked jokingly.
"Please don't say that!" Fluttershy whimpered.
"What? I was joking!"
Despite Rainbow's joking and Fluttershy's fear, the group continued through the field of dinosaur bones. Some of them stayed on alert as if the skeletons would in fact come alive and come after them.
"Welcome to Jurassic Park." Adam teased.
"Very funny, Adam." Aisha retorted sarcastically.
Spike looked confused at Adam's quip. "Is... that a reference to something?"
"Eh, we may do that movie sometime in the future." Pinkie commented happily. "If the author would get enough help for it and its sequels."
Twilight looked back, "Wait, movie?"
"Yeah, Jurassic Park. If ya don't know about it," Rocky explained as they looked over any dinosaur bones they came across, "It's about this rich guy who makes an amusement park with real-life dinosaurs. But things go bad before anybody realizes what happens."
"Crazy.....it feels like you girls and Spike did something like it before but without me and Nyx." Ben spoke as he scratched his chin.
"Nah!" Most of everyone exclaimed in dismissal.
Nearby, Billy closely examined a giant dinosaur skull, peering into the empty eye sockets out of curiosity. As he looked into the sockets, the blue ranger hardly noticed a tailbone slowly rising up from the ground. It wasn't until he heard the sound of the bones moving that he spun around.
"Huh?"
"Billy, watch out!!" Nyx cried upon noticing what was happening.
Billy barely managed to roll out of the way when the tail slammed down, breaking a nearby bone. He was quickly back on his feet when he realized that the tail belonged to the triceratops skeleton, which quickly had put itself together and growled at him. The blond blue-clad teen once again tumbled out of the way.
Aisha gasped upon noticing this while Rainbow remarked in shock, "Me and my big mouth!"
Before anybody knew it, the triceratops skeleton slowly stood up, prompting Kimberly to gasp in fright before she placed a hand over her mouth as if she hoped the skeleton didn't hear her. Adam looked absolutely nervous while getting ready to fight. Suddenly, the skeletal beast let out a roar, leaving Tommy to look perplexed. The beast roared once more and started charging towards Aisha and Rarity, the former frozen in fright and the latter staring in frightened astonishment. But as the colossal monster got closer, the African-American teenager and the unicorn hastily backed away, their eyes locked on the skeleton.
"Aisha, Rarity, get outta there!" Billy cried.
The two could only scream in terror as they found themselves backed against a rock. With its targets cornered, the triceratops skeleton snapped its jaws at Aisha and Rarity, who only screamed more.
"GET AWAY, YOU BEASTLY BEAST!!! GET AWAY, I SAY!!!" Rarity shrieked, making kicking gestures at the beast.
"Rarity, hang on!" Spike shouted as he flew toward the triceratops skeleton. At the same time, Rocky picked up a large bone and hit the beast on the snout with it, causing it to turn his head to hit the Red Ranger and send him flying. The red-clad teen ended up hitting a hill, causing the wind to be knocked out of him.
"Rocky!" Kimberly cried out.
"Hey! You leave Rarity and Aisha alone!" Spike snapped, punching the skeleton in the leg. Unfortunately, all the baby dragon ended up doing was hurting his hand in the process. What he got next was kicked back and sent flying into a tree.
"Spikey-wikey!" Rarity shouted in fear for her friend.
"I... I'm okay!" He called, giving a thumbs up.
Adam ran up a bit before he stopped as the skeletal triceratops glared at the Black Ranger with a growl. Aisha and Rarity ran for cover while Rocky recovered and skittered backward a bit. The skeleton creature roared as it stood up and started advancing towards Adam.
"Uh-oh!" Adam yelped nervously.
Suddenly, the beast turned its nonexistent eyes on Kimberly, who panicked and made a dash for a nearby giant ribcage.
"Get away from me!" She shouted as the skeletal triceratops advanced towards her.
"Kimberly!" Fluttershy cried as she flew towards the Pink Ranger.
As the skeletal beast charged towards Kimberly, Adam rolled out from underneath it and just barely avoided getting crushed by its tail as it dropped. Seeing his girlfriend in danger, Tommy ran in the beast's direction.
"Leave her alone, you big bully!" Fluttershy shouted as she stamped onto the monster's skull, only to bounce off of it and find herself joining Kimberly in running in fear and getting into the ribcage.
As the skeletal beast charged towards Kimberly, Adam rolled out from underneath it and just barely avoided getting crushed by its tail as it dropped. Seeing his girlfriend in danger, Tommy ran in the beast's direction.
"Shoo! Shoo!" Fluttershy shouted in panic, making a shooing gesture at the monster.
But it would not obey Fluttershy's order as it got its head into the ribcage, breaking part of it as it started biting at her and Kimberly, the two distressed girls screaming in fear.
"TOMMY!!!" Kimberly shrieked.
"Hang on!" Tommy shouted as he grabbed a nearby stick before running towards the skeletal triceratops, which ran its head towards the helpless Kimberly and Fluttershy through the ribcage, breaking off another bone while biting at them.
"TOMMY!!!!" Kimberly screamed again.
"HELP!!!" Fluttershy cried.
"All right, bonehead!" Tommy exclaimed, whacking the skeleton in the skull twice before jabbing the stick into its eye socket.
The jab in its eye socket got the skeleton's attention as it turned its head to roar at Tommy, chasing him towards a giant tree. He ran up the side of the tree before flipping into the air and landing on the base of the beast's neck.
"Careful, Tommy!" Twilight shouted.
As Tommy held on as if his life depended on it, the skeletal triceratops roared and thrashed its head about in an attempt to throw the White Ranger off its neck.
"Tommy, hang on!" Aisha cried.
"Don't let go!" Pinkie cried.
"Tommy!" Billy cried.
Tommy did as Aisha and Pinkie suggested and continued to hold on, despite the triceratops skeleton continuing to thrash around.
"He's sure getting a ride out of this!" Rainbow commented.
"Yeah, and he'd better keep holdin' on." Applejack added in concern.
"Hold on tight, Tommy!" Rocky called out.
As the beast continued thrashing its head, Tommy found it more and more difficult to keep his grip atop the skeleton. However, when he looked down, he noticed the bone that connected the beast's skull to its neck.
"Yo, fossil head! I got a bone to pick with you!" The White Ranger grunted, yanking the bone free in one swift pull.
This caused the triceratops skeleton to stop moving before the skull dropped down to the ground.
"Huh?" Tommy muttered before the rest of the skeleton fell apart, causing him to fall with a shout.
"Tommy!" Spike, Nyx, and Phobos cried as they and the others ran up to the fallen White Ranger.
"Are you okay?" Kimberly asked in concern as she and Billy helped Tommy up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Tommy responded.
"Looks like biology finally paid out for you, huh?" Billy asked with a chuckle.
Tommy just brushed Billy's comment off with a small smile.
"Well, maybe we should get outta here before he decides to pull himself back together or something," Rocky commented, referring to the scattered bones of the triceratops skeleton.
"Better yet, before the other skeletons decide to rise up." Rainbow added, looking uneasy.
"Yeah." Tommy agreed.
With that said, the heroes quickly left the boneyard to resume their quest to find the Great Power. As they left, Fluttershy paused and took one more glance at the fallen skeleton of the triceratops. She then got immediately spooked and hastily followed after the others.
Meanwhile, back in Angel Grove and the Ooze Factory, the brainwashed adults were still mass-producing ooze jars while some of them were working on the pieces of Ivan's Ecto-Morphicons.
"You there! Let's show a little initiative!" Goldar ordered one adult before turning to another, "And you, get your rear in gear!"
Behind a machine that's producing new ooze jars, unknown to the villains, Fred, Starlight, Trixie, and the CMCs were all sneaking to another machine.
"Pick up the pace! We haven't got all day!" Tirek shouted.
"Faster, slaves! Faster!" Chrysalis ordered.
When they looked to the villains overlooking the workers, Fred and the human-turned Equestrians saw Ivan joining them.
"Hey, boss! Construction is completed!" Goldar announced gleefully.
"Yeah, when's lunch?" Mordant asked eagerly.
Supposedly not hearing Mordant, Ivan announced, "Parents of Angel Grove!"
This immediately got all the adults' attention and they stopped what they were doing.
"You have completed my Ectomorphicons!" Ivan announced with pride, "But, frankly, I'm sick of your ugly faces and your dull personalities."
"Yeah!" Goldar agreed with a laugh as the other villains joined in laughing.
"You will return to the construction site and leap to your doom," Ivan ordered the adults.
"Yeah, leap to your doom!" Mordant agreed giddily.
"What?!" Apple Bloom asked quietly in shock on hearing what Ivan just said.
"Doom?!" Scootaloo gasped.
"Oh no!" Sweetie cried softly in horror.
"Bye-bye." Ivan said with a grin while waving at the brainwashed adults, who just dully dropped the boxes they're holding to the floor.
"Bye-bye!" Goldar said tauntingly as the adults started making their way to the factory's exit.
"Bye-bye!" Scorpina said cruelly while waving.
"Aloha!" Mordant taunted.
"Arrivederci!" Tirek taunted.
Fred spotted his dad amongst the adults walking to the exit. "Dad!"
"Have a nice afterlife!" Chrysalis taunted.
"Don't forget to write!" Cozy taunted.
"Toodle-oo!" Baboo said with a taunting wave.
"So long!" Squatt said spitefully.
"Hasta la vista, baby!" Ivan said hauntingly.
"See ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!" Goldar taunted.
"Ciao." Ivan waved before laughing along with some of the other villains.
"See ya later, alligator," Mordant said as he waved.
"After 'while, crocodile!" Cozy laughed.
"Finally, the moment of truth!" Ivan shouted with exhilaration.
"We gotta stop those villains!" Trixie declared quietly.
"No time for that, come on!" Starlight exclaimed quietly, running with Fred to the exit.
"Wait for us!" Toola Roola said quietly as she and the rest of the CMCs along with Trixie followed them.
"Mordant, let the ooze flow!" Ivan ordered.
"Comin' right up." Mordant said as he started turning a valve.
No sooner did he do so, the ooze started pumping through many tubes and into the Ecto-Morphicons, filling them to the brim with Ooze. One of them resembled a giant beetle that stood on two legs while the other resembled a giant scorpion.
"Ooze, give my creatures life!" Ivan shouted as the procedure was happening, "LIFE, I TELL YOU!!! LIIIIFE!!!"
Once both machines were full of Ooze, Ivan stepped forward and shot them both with purple lightning. After seconds of being zapped, the beetle Ecto-Morphicon's eyes began to glow red as its mandibles snapped together fast.
"Excellent!" Goldar exclaimed with an evil grin.
Mordant let loose with a cry of fear, not looking as enthusiastic as Goldar was. Squatt and Baboo also whimpered in fright.
"AWESOME!!!" Cozy cheered excitedly, her eyes widened.
Next to come alive was the scorpion Ecto-Morphicon as its eyes also glowed. It too snapped its mandibles and pincers together as well.
"Perfect!!!" Chrysalis grinned evilly.
"Evil, intimidating, and dangerous-looking! I love it!!!" Tirek yelled while pumping his fists. Scorpina also did an evil laugh, enjoying what was happening.
After he stopped zapping his Ecto-Morphicons, Ivan turned around to face the other villains as he shouted, "Now my machines will DESTROY the city!" Then he started laughing evilly with the other villains joining in the wicked laughter.
Back on Phaedos, unaware of Ivan's progress with his evil plan, our heroes continued to trek the jungles. As they walked on, both the Equestrians and Rangers kept their wits about them as if their next opponent would suddenly hop out from behind a tree.
"Whoa. Hey, guys, check this out." Adam said after stopping and noticing something that made him widen his eyes in awe.
Before Twilight or the others could ask what he saw, they felt as though their unasked question was answered when they stepped into the clearing. What they saw before them was a large stone wall that reminded Twilight and her friends of an entryway to a great temple. Situated under the archway at the center were four stone gargoyles that resembled guardians.
"Incredible." Rocky said in astonishment.
The rest of the group stared at the stone wall in awe, save for Rainbow, who couldn't help but look a bit disappointed. Tommy and Kimberly exchanged glances with each other before the former stepped forward and spoke.
"Let's go, guys. Nice and easy."
"Right." Twilight said with a nod before she and the others started advancing toward the temple.
Rainbow walked along Twilight. "This is it? This big rock wall is what we came here for?" She couldn't help but whisper to the lilac alicorn, not attempting to hide her disappointment.
"It has to be." Twilight replied while still looking towards the rock wall, "Dulcea said to go to the monolith. Inside it waits the Great Power."
As they walked through the clearing, the two groups observed their surroundings. Upon approaching the wall, they noticed that in the wall were what looked like carvings of armored warriors.
"I dunno why, but this is giving me 'Daring Do' vibes." Rainbow couldn't help but comment in awe.
"I feel the same way, Rainbow Dash." Twilight said in fascination.
"Me too." Nyx agreed.
They stopped once they stood before the stone wall and stared at it.
"What do you think?" Adam asked.
"Wait here." Tommy said as he walked towards the wall.
Upon reaching the wall, Tommy placed a hand on the engraved warrior's dagger briefly. He then looked back to the others, hardly noticing that the "engraved" daggers, along with the spikes on its armor, slowly receded into the wall.
"TOMMY!!!" Kimberly cried out in alarm.
"LOOK OUT!!!!" Twilight cried while pointing behind him.
Tommy spun around just in time to see the "engraved" warrior come to life, actually donning metallic armor and wielding a pair of sharp-looking daggers. With a growl, the warrior leaped from its perch just before the White Ranger, slashing at the latter as he backed away. Seeing this, the others backed away as well, looking freaked out.
"What is that thing?!" Applejack asked in shock.
"If I had to guess, it has to be some kind of guardian!" Twilight replied, looking nervous.
The warrior kept slashing at Tommy until the White Ranger did a backflip back to the others. After landing, he looked down at his shirt to see that the guardian slashed it. The guardian slid the blades of its daggers together and growled once more as the remaining three guardians awakened and joined their leader, their own weapons at the ready. In turn, the Rangers and Equestrians readied themselves for battle, despite still being nervous.
"Oh, man! There's four of those things!" Spike cried nervously.
"What now?" Kimberly asked nervously.
"Power Ponies, time to morph!" Twilight shouted with determination.
"LET'S GO, FRIENDSHIP FORCE!!" The equestrians cried out, holding out their morphers.
"MASKED MATTER-HORN!"
"KNIGHT SENTINEL!"
"SHADOWHEART!"
"LUNAFLARE!"
"SADDLE RAGER!"
"FILI-SECOND!"
"RADIANCE!"
"ZAPP!"
"MISTRESS MARE-VELOUS!"
"HUMDRUM!"
After they all shouted out their hero names, the Equestrians all turned to their Power Pony forms instantly.
"Ninjetti!" Tommy shouted, getting ready for battle as his hood and mask were suddenly pulled up, "The Falcon!"
"The Frog!" Adam shouted while his hood and mask were pulled up as he also got in a battle stance.
"The Ape!" Rocky shouted, getting into a battle-ready stance as his hood and mask were too pulled up.
"The Crane!" Kimberly shouted, standing in her own battle stance with her hood and mask pulled up.
"The Wolf!" Billy shouted, his hood and mask pulled up already as he held up his fists.
"The Bear!" Aisha shouted, her hood and mask up with her arms raised, "Whoa!"
The Yellow Ranger yelled out as she ducked, dodging the spiked mace of one of the guardians.
Everyone soon got right into battle, duking it out against the four guardians. Applejack bucked a guardian in the face, but it literally hurt her more than it hurt the beast because she held her slightly hurt hoof.
"It's like these guys are made of rock!" She exclaimed, wincing a bit.
Adam kicked the same guardian. "These things are made of rock!"
Billy kicked another guardian in the face, and then tried to kick it again, only for it to hold his foot and toss him, causing him to recover by flipping and landing.
"These guys are strong!" Billy exclaimed.
Rainbow kicked the same guardian in the face, but all she did was hurt her hoof. "Yeah, no kidding." She groaned, rubbing her sore hoof.
She let out a yelp as she barely dodged a swing from the guardian's axe, something Billy also dodged as he backflipped out of the way.
Aisha narrowly dodge-rolled under another guardian's mace at the same time Rarity gracefully flipped over the spiked weapon.
Adam narrowly flipped a swipe of a guardian's dagger with Applejack. Before either of them knew it, they found themselves by a ledge and Applejack used her lasso to bind the guardian's hands together when it swiped at Adam, giving the Black Ranger a chance to kick it in the back of the head. The guardian quickly recovered, managing to break free of the cowpony's lasso and swiped at its nearest target, who happened to be Adam as the latter quickly moved out of the way.
Kimberly cried out as she backflipped while leaping onto another ledge as she dodged a guardian's spiked mace. She jumped over it but landed on the floor of said ledge. The guardian growled as it held up its weapon.
"Yikes." Kimberly said nervously as she got up and ran up the ledge, the guardian chasing after her.
From below, Applejack saw this and noticed the guardian approaching him. "Adam, behind ya!"
Adam turned to see the beast approach him and narrowly dodged the swing of his blades and went behind him while spinning a bit.
"Hang tight, Adam!" Rocky called, climbing up a hanging vine.
"We're on our way!" Spike exclaimed, flying up to the cliff.
The stone creature approached the Black Ranger who rolled under his legs as he asked, "Ever play leapfrog?"
"Tag! You're it!" Spike exclaimed, bouncing off the stone monster's head, much to its confusion.
Then Rocky pounced on the creature from beyond, only to stumble and hang onto a branch on the cliff over the waterfall.
"Adam! Spike!" Rocky cried.
"Hang on, Rocky!" Adam called, dodging a slash from the stone beast's dual blades as Spike flew over it. Suddenly, the stone guardian turned its attention to the dangling Rocky. It brought its blades down in an attempt to get the Red Ranger's hands, only for the latter to move his hands from the spots the guardian struck.
"Hey, llama head!" Adam yelled.
The guardian looked up before Adam kicked it in the head, dazing it enough for it to lose its balance. Spike "helped" by whacking the beast with his briefly enlarged tail, causing it to fall off the cliff while roaring until it landed in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall.
Then the baby dragon and the Black Ranger helped Rocky onto the ledge as the latter said, "Thanks, guys. I thought I was finished."
"No problem, Rocky." Spike replied, smiling. He and the two rangers looked to the pool at the bottom of the cliff to watch the stone guardian slowly flailing as it sunk into the water. As this happened, steam emitted from the creature's body, giving the impression it was melting.
"That's one down, and three to go." Adam said, smirking behind his mask.
Back below, Aisha was busy dodging a stone guardian's swings until she found herself literally backed up against a wall. She then ducked down into a narrow hole in the wall just as she dodged another blow. Once inside the small cave, the African-American teen backed in as far as she could when she noticed the skeletal remains of an alien next to her.
"Whoa!" She cried out in alarm until she noticed the guardian jamming its blade through the opening in an attempt to reach her, "Somebody, HELP!!!"
"Aisha, hang on!" Rainbow shouted as she flew up to the stone beast and kicked it.
"Take this, you rocky brute!" Rarity yelled, conjuring a dueling glove and slapping the guardian in the face.
Unfortunately, that had no effect other than agitating the stone monster and giving chase to the white-furred unicorn. Rarity sheepishly giggled and ran away from the monster.
"That worked better in my mind!"
"Leave her alone!" Rainbow shouted as she zapped the creature with lightning, but that also had no effect as the monster swung his weapon at her, but the blue pegasus pony flew upward, dodging the blow.
Suddenly, Rocky jumped in and kicked the monster in the back, getting its attention. The guardian swung its right hand at him, only for the latter to kick the creature's left hand so hard, it involuntarily dropped its weapon.
"Let's talk about this," Rocky suggested, putting up his dukes.
The stone guardian growled in response and swung its fists at Rocky.
"Guess not." Rocky added, dodging every punch thrown at him.
Back on the cliff, Kimberly stopped near a boulder and began pushing it toward the stone guardian that was still chasing her.
"Come on, roll!" Kimberly cried desperately.
Unfortunately, the guardian caught up to her, swinging its mace at the boulder and creating a small shower of sparks. This had startled the pink ranger, who was even more startled by Twilight appearing next to her from out of nowhere.
"Need some help?" The lilac alicorn spoke heroically.
"Twilight!" Kimberly exclaimed upon seeing her.
"That's me." Twilight replied, narrowly dodging the guardian's swing, which caused her to cry out and move next to Kimberly.
"Hang on, Kimberly!" Tommy shouted as he swung towards the two on a vine with Ben, Nyx, and Phobos holding on.
"We're coming, Twilight!" Ben added.
Once he landed next to Kimberly, Tommy kicked the stone guardian in the chest, making it back up with a grunt.
"Eat this!" Nyx shouted as she blasted the beast in the face with a ball of magic, causing it to grunt while flinching a bit.
Tommy quickly joined Kimberly behind the boulder. "They're strong, but they're not too smart." He said, picking up a thick branch next to him, "Come on, help me push."
"Right." Kimberly said as she started pushing the boulder while Tommy began using the branch to try and pry the boulder loose.
Seeing the rock guardian beginning to make its way from around the boulder, Twilight blasted it back in front of the boulder with her magic. At that exact moment, Tommy and Kimberly were slowly lifting the rock forward due to prying it with the branch.
"Let's rock his world." Kimberly commented.
"Stay right where you are, Stony!" Phobos shouted as Nyx and Ben held the rock creature in front of the boulder with their magic.
With one swift push, Tommy and Kimberly pried the giant boulder loose right onto the stone beast, knocking it back and making it roll down the cliff with the boulder rolling after it. As the guardian rolled down the cliff, it got bumped by the rolling boulder on the back before falling to the bottom. What followed was an avalanche of smaller boulders, which fell on top of the lifeless guardian, burying it.
"Another one bites the dust!" Ben remarked with a grin.
Billy did an aerial somersault onto a thick branch of a tree, avoiding being sliced by another rock guardian. Pinkie zipped behind the stone creature, tapping it on the shoulder.
"Guess who!" She cheered, zipping behind the creature again as it turned to look where she previously was, only to tap him again, "Over here!"
The stone creature turned around to try and look but didn't see Pinkie as she zipped again.
Back below, Adam was dodging one guardian's weapon slice from another. "What is this, "Pick on the Frog Day?""
He complained. The Black Ranger turned to see the spear-wielding guardian charge him. He barely dodged, the stone guardian's weapon just narrowly missing him. Adam then dropped and rolled to his side, stopping before one stone guardian's weapon as it came down before him before rolling to the side and stopping as the other guardian's weapon came down in front of him.
"Hey, Adam!" Billy called from the tree branch he was standing on, "Could you use a hand?"
"The thought crossed my mind!" Adam replied, still avoiding any slashes made at him by a guardian.
The Blue Ranger looked around till he saw a jungle vine. He yanked on it and while holding one end, the rest of the vine dropped towards the Black Ranger. "Adam!"
Seeing the vine, Adam took that cue and grabbed the other end of it. Billy immediately jumped off the thick branch and his end of the vine went down, lifting Adam off the ground.
"Elevator going up!" Adam declared as the stone guardian behind him raised its weapon to bring down at him...
...only to miss him entirely and slice the other guardian, splitting it in two down the middle.
"Elevator going down!" Billy said while going downward onto the area as the sliced halves of the stone guardian fell to the floor. "Talk about a splitting headache."
With one guardian left, Rocky flipped towards a cliff wall as Rainbow joined him. Growling, the guardian picked up the spear on the ground, ready to throw it in their direction. Rainbow simply blew a raspberry at the guardian and made a face to taunt it.
"Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah!" She said in a teasing tone of voice.
The guardian roared as it hurled its spear like a javelin toward the two fighting it.
Like a bolt of lightning, Rainbow zipped up into the air as Rocky leaped up, doing a perfect split, using the rock formations on the wall for support. The spear thrown by the guardian lodged itself into the wall merely inches underneath Rocky.
"Whoa! That was close!" The Red Ranger commented.
Aisha ran up to the guardian from behind and kicked it in the back with a karate yell. Adam immediately did the same, kicking it in the back with a karate yell before Pinkie zipped up and tapped the guardian in the leg rather forcefully.
“Tag! You’re it!” She exclaimed before zipping off.
The stone guardian growled and swiped at Pinkie, who wasn't even there. Rocky then kicked the guardian in the back with a karate yell before Adam did the same, kicking the creature in the chest. All of a sudden, Rarity appeared from out of nowhere, swatting the guardian in the face with a fly swatter she conjured up with her superpower.
"Take that, you barbarian!" Ben shouted as he slashed the stone beast with his sword.
The slash, of course, had hardly any effect on the beast. But it still attempted to swipe at the brown earth pony, only to be blasted with a lightning bolt from Rainbow's lightning pendant.
"How do ya like them apples?!" Rainbow cheered.
"Took the words right outta my mouth, Rainbow Dash!" Applejack remarked with a confident grin before she bucked the guardian in the chest with both her hooves.
"This is for what you did to Aisha, you big bully!!" Fluttershy roared while bulking up and punching the guardian across the face.
"HI-YAH!!!" Spike exclaimed, smacking the stone guardian in the face with his enlarged tail.
"EAT THIS!!!" Nyx and Phobos shouted in unison as they both blasted beams of magic and energy, respectively, hitting the stone guardian in the chest at the same time.
The stone guardian grunted from being hit in the chest. It tried to charge at the Equestrians and Rangers, only to find it couldn't move its feet and looked down to see what was wrong. What the creature found was that its feet were frozen in place by a magical aura, which matched the aura a certain lilac alicorn was emitting from her horn.
"He's all yours, guys!" Twilight announced, looking up at the trees.
"All right!" Tommy shouted while pointing towards Kimberly on his right, who was holding onto a vine. Then he turned towards Billy on his left holding on another vine. "Ready?"
"Yeah!" Billy replied with a nod.
"Go!"
With karate yells, Kimberly and Billy swung from the cliff ledge and tree respectively as they each held onto the vines they swung from. They let go and kicked the stone guardian in the chest, just as Twilight released it from her magic hold, causing the beast to stumble back.
"Ninjetti Corkscrew Kick!" Tommy shouted before jumping off the branch with a karate yell.
As he flew down at the stone guardian, Tommy crossed his arms and stuck his legs straight out before he spun rapidly. When his corkscrew kick landed, the White Ranger's impact hit the stone guardian so hard that it literally sent the latter flying toward the stone wall.
"Eight ball, corner pocket!" Tommy cheered as he landed on his feet.
Upon hitting the wall, the beastly guardian shattered into pieces.
"Aww, yeah! Nice one, Tommy!" Rainbow cheered.
"And that's all four down!" Nyx announced victoriously.
The rest of the Equestrians cheered excitedly as the Rangers pulled down their hoods and masks. But they felt their victory was supposedly short-lived as the earth around them shook and the sky grew dark.
"What now?" Aisha asked in worry.
"Whoa, what's happening?" Kimberly asked nervously.
Fluttershy whimpered as she flinched. "Is it an earthquake? Is it another scary creature? A bigger and scarier one?"
"Look." Tommy spoke, noticing the stone wall slowly moving up to reveal an opening that light shone out from.
Fluttershy's fear turned to awe as she, her friends and the Rangers, all brightened by the light from inside the temple, gazed at what was ahead of them.
Beyond the open passage was a tall stone pyramid. As the large stone moved out from the opening on its own, our heroes slowly moved closer to get a good look at it. Engraved on the face was a symbol, baring the markings of six animals; a falcon, a wolf, a crane, a bear, an ape and a frog.
"Wow..." Twilight spoke in awe.
"The Great Power." Aisha said, sharing her awe.
"The Sacred Animals." Billy spoke, staring at the carving of the animals.
"Just like the ones you guys were using." Nyx said as Phobos nodded in agreement.
Then the symbol began glowing very bright, brighter than the light inside the temple. As the heroes stared in awe and excitement, the six creatures flew from the symbol as figures of light and around the heroes. Our heroes watched in amazement as the six animals flew about their respective Rangers.
I always love the music throughout this part!
"New Zords!" Adam exclaimed in excitement.
"Daring Do would never believe this!" Rainbow remarked in an ecstatic tone.
Eventually, after flying around the Rangers, the light figures went right inside the golden coin symbols on their chests, and there was a blinding flash of light, causing the Equestrians to shield their eyes for a moment. Once the light subsided, they uncovered their eyes to look at their Ranger friends. When they did, they all silently gasped as their shimmering eyes as widened almost bigger than saucers with their mouths as agape as they could. Standing before them were Tommy, Kimberly, Billy, Rocky, Adam, and Aisha once again donning their Power Ranger armor. The only difference now was that the emblems bore the markings of their respective sacred animals.
"THE POWER RANGERS ARE BACK!!!!" Nyx squealed, trotting giddily in place.
"We did it!" Aisha cheered.
"Our morphers are online!" Billy exclaimed with enthusiasm.
"We got the power!" Tommy exclaimed while pumping his fist.
"All right!" Kimberly exclaimed while giving her boyfriend a high five.
"Hang on, Zordon! We're on our way!" Rocky cheered.
"Everybody ready?" Twilight spoke, determination in her voice.
"Yeah!" The other Equestrians replied in unison, equally as determined as the alicorn princess.
"Let's do it!" Kimberly said excitedly.
Then after the Rangers put their hands over the morphers on their belts, they and the Power Ponies all turned into beams of colored light and flew upward.
Off they went back to Earth, to Angel Grove to take down Ivan Ooze once and for all. From the plateau overlooking the jungle of Phaedos, Dulcea watched in her owl form as the Rangers and Equestrians flew from the monolith and back home.
"Good luck, Rangers and Ponies." Dulcea spoke telepathically before she flew from her perch.
