Royal Sentai Knightranger meets MLP
Ch 2: the first monster
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe sun of Equestria cast a warm glow on the quaint town of Ponyville, a stark contrast to the battle-worn lands the Knightrangers had left behind. Today, they stood not as armored warriors, but as the kings they were, their royal attire shimmering in the morning light. Gold Knight, or simply "Gold" as he preferred to be called out of his armor, adjusted the fine embroidery of his tunic, his gaze taking in the colorful buildings and the friendly smiles of the ponies.
Twilight Sparkle, her amethyst eyes shining with curiosity and hospitality, led the tour. "And over there is Sugarcube Corner, home to the best cupcakes in Equestria," she announced, gesturing with a hoof. The other Knightrangers, Scythe, Red, Masher, and Tara Fin, followed, their expressions ranging from Scythe's stoic observation to Masher's playful grin. Tara Fin, his shark-like teeth peeking from behind a polite smile, seemed most fascinated by the various plants and wildlife.
As they strolled, Gold felt a need to share a piece of his history, a burden he carried. He turned to Twilight, "Twilight, there's something I wanted to tell you about. A collection of trinkets, we call the "Armor Collection". It wasn't always trinkets, once it was one piece of armor."
Twilight tilted her head, her ears perked with interest.
"It belonged to a dark god, one known only as… 'The Darkness'," Gold continued, his voice taking on a somber tone. "Before any of us were born, it was said that The Darkness plagued our world into darkness, but his was shattered into the armor pieces we know today by his brothers, the ancient gods of our elements, and became separated, each piece placed in a temple between all five kingdoms. But, my brother… he was under the influence of The Darkness, and he stole them all." Gold said as he showed his armor piece, itnwas a onight statue with flames on its shoulder and helmet
A gasp escaped Twilight, "Your brother, did he steal all of the armor pieces?"
Before Gold could answer, the peaceful atmosphere of Ponyville was shattered by a piercing scream. The group turned to see a monstrous figure emerging from the woods, a hulking beast with a scorpion's tail for a left arm and a menacing pincer gauntlet on its right. The creature's body was a grotesque union of flesh and hardened plant matter. It was Kon Kozue.
"Drats they found us!," Masher muttered, his jovial tone replaced with seriousness.
Gold didn't waste another second. "Knightrangers, prepare to morph!" The team echoed his words, their royal clothes vanishing as their pieces of armor materialized around them, the ancient pieces resonating with power. Gold's golden armor gleamed, Scythe's dark armor emanated a brooding strength, Red's armor bore intricate tech patterns, Masher's armor was bulky yet agile, and Tara Fin's armor shone a deep blue hue. "Strength strong as the mountains, Terra King, Scythe!" Scythe yelled as he posed
"Knowledge flewent as the sea, Aqua King, Red!" Red yelled as he posed
"Speed fast as lightning, Thunder King, Masher!" Masher yelled as he posed
"Skills cold as ice, Glacies King, Tara fin!" Tara fin yelled as he posed
"Courage hot as flames, Ignias King, Gold Knight!" Gold yelled as he posed as spoke once more "and together we are" Gold and the other spoke in unison and posed "Royal Sentai Knightranger!"
The Knightrangers charged towards Kon Kozue, who hissed and swung its pincer. "You will not stop Lord Seth, GET THEM!" The monster roared, its voice a gravelly echo. as he summoned cyber knights
"Well see about that!" Red sais, as he fought the cyber knights, cutting them down with his battle axe
Kon Kozue slammed its tail into the ground, sending plants spiraling from the earth, and then with its pincer, summoned bolts of energy, striking a few buildings, but luckily the citizens were safe. Twilight and her friends, now joined by Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Rarity, stood back, ready to assist.
Gold deflected a thorny vine with his katana, his movements a blur of practiced grace. "Scythe, deal with the plant matter! Red, find out what the monster is made of. Masher, and Tara, protect the ponies, that thing is too dangerous to be running free, make sure the buildings stay standing!"
As Scythe cut through the plants, his scythe a whirlwind of destruction, Red observed Kon Kozue with his tech enhanced vision. "There's some kind of safe on its back!" Red yelled, "and it's emitting a strange energy signature! I think it's one armor pieces, Gold!"
"Good eye Red!" Gold exclaimed, "I need to get to that safe!"
But Kon Kozue had other plans. He slammed his tail into the ground again, summoning a horde of Cyber Knights, their metallic bodies glinting under the sun, and directed them towards the kings.
The Knightrangers found themselves embroiled in a chaotic battle. Scythe and Masher battled cyber knights, while Tara Fin, with a speed that defied his size, was keeping the ponies safe. Gold, with his katana flashing, managed to fend off Kon Kozue, but the monster retreated, letting the Cyber Knights swarm.
After dealing with cyber knights, the kings regrouped, their armor bearing the marks of battle. "That safe, it's not going to be easy to get to," Gold said, his voice tight with determination.
"I've got an idea!" Red announced, "I can use my tech to create a device, a decoder of some sort. We can use these to hack in any safe any monsters are carrying around!” Red held out five small devices, each with a distinct shape. “One for each of us! We’ll use them next time we see this thing!” The Knightrangers accepted their decoders, a sense of renewed hope filling them.
The next day, the peace of Ponyville was again disturbed. Kon Kozue reappeared, drawn by the fear he was causing the ponies, plants warped and twisted, and the cyber knights were back with him.
"Alright team, you know what to do!" Gold yelled as they morphed, their armor shining bright. The Knightrangers charged into action once more. Masher and Tara Fin worked in tandem, Masher using his demolitions skills to create distractions while Tara Fin used his tracking abilities to restrain Kon Kozue’s tail, holding him still.
Red, his eyes narrowed in focus, rolled behind the restrained monster and attached his decoder to the safe. The device whirred and beeped as it worked to crack the code; "9-6-0!" The device yelled, Red opened the safe, and Red grabbed the armor piece, it was a small knight statue withbvines on it, it was the plant armor, “I’ve got it!” Red yelled
With the armor piece in hand, the Knightrangers unleashed their full force upon Kon Kozue. A final, devastating combination of blows sent the monster reeling, "this scorpions been squashed!!!" an explosion rocked the area and Kon Kozue burst into pieces.
But before they could celebrate, the scattered remains of Kon Kozue began to reform, growing in size. “You think that was enough to defeat me?” A booming voice echoed through the town, Kon Kozue, now a giant, towered over them, his eyes burning with anger.
Masher whistled, "Well, that escalated quickly."
Gold, with a grim nod, spoke, "It's time. Knightrangers, call upon the Element King-Oh!"
The ground vibrated as a massive, four-legged structure rose from the ground. This was no ordinary mech, it was a powerful machine combining all four kingdom's specialities, made for fighting giant monsters like this one. With a beam of light, the Knightrangers were transported into the cockpit of the giant mech. “Element King-Oh! Activate!” Gold yelled as the mech roared to life.
The challenge had only just begun. Ponyville was still in danger, and the Knightrangers, now piloting their mighty mech, stood ready to face whatever Kon Kozue, and the Darkness, threw their way. "Come on!" Kon yelled as he slapped element king-oh with his tail arm making it stumble, tho Element King-Oh stood irs ground and charged forth, slashing Kon Kozue with its claymore and bashed him with its shield, Kon Kozue stumbled back but spat venom on the shield making it melt, Element King-Oh tossed the shield away and ran and dropkicked Kon Kozue, as its sword glowed bright "time to finish this!" Gold said, him and his team made Element King-Oh jump kn the air and raise it's sword, Kon saw this and stumbled back a bit in fear "c-cant we talk about thie?!" Kin said, the five kings yelled out in unison "royal elemental strike!" They yelled in unison as Element King-Oh flew down slashing Kon Kozue and slid to a halt behind him, dark energy poured out of Kon Kozue "Lord Seth, my master, FORGIVE ME!!!" He blew up behind Element King-Oh as they mech posed, soon Gold and his team were beamed out the mech and were infront of twilight and her friends as they were amazed, "ya know what, I'm famished, how about we go get something to eat?" Masher suggested and they went to sugarcube corner to have a small feast
