Palutena stood in her library frowning looking through her books while her arms and snakes cradled her foals.
Eventually the sounds of chatting echoing through the entrance drew her attention away. A smile played across her lips when her friends and family finally made it to the library, she summoned a grey case and a single scroll case.

“Friends, family we have an issue. I can't very well protect the world solo and these monsters are reaching pandemic levels as such. I have decided to create a team. One that can handle whatever Tartarus throws at them. I have chosen you all, to be that team. But first one of you must make a choice, Captain Dash “

Palutena held up a scroll with her royal seal on it, “this is your letter of recommendation to the wonderbolts, choose become a member of the team I'm setting up or the wonder bolts, however if you choose the wonderbolts you must choose a suitable replacement. If you choose to be a member of my team you forfeit the letter until you finish with my team. Choose.“

Rainbow dash fidgeted, “actually, Lady Palutena I don't want to join the wonderbolts anymore, as long as this team doesn't require that I move from Ponyville.”

Palutena smiled, “good to hear, now step forward.”

Palutena opened the large case she carried inside black foam revealed and laid it on the table that appeared. She picked up the grey steel gauntlet with red panels on top of a raised gold middle that had an opening on the front of it. The steel curved like a blade tip pointing backwards. “Twilight, you are the red fire wizard, this is your crystal selector and your morpher the selector goes on your left wrist and the other goes on your right.” Palutena explained handing her the morpher.

“Rainbow Dash, you are the green wind ranger,”

Palutena handed her morpher and selector to her,

“Fluttershy, you are the yellow life Cleric,”

Fluttershy bowed as she received hers

“Rarity, you are the blue ice Swashbuckler,”

Rarity squealed as she examined her new accessory.

“Pinkie pie, you are the purple white Paladin,”

Pinkie giggled as she bounced up and down excitedly

“Celestia, you are the gold sun monk,”

Celestia smirked sneaking a kiss from Palutena as she passed her the morpher. Blushing Palutena continued,

“Luna, you are the silver moon dragoon,”

Luna rolled her eyes with a good-natured smirk, “how original. ”

“Lumi, you are the black shadow rogue,”

Palutena took the opportunity to nibble on the thestrel’s ear.

“and myself, the white light Artificer,”

“Stand back,” Palutena said as she put the foals down in their carriages and had the revive Twilight’s watch over them.

“now this is how you wear it, the selector on your left wrist and your middle finger through the hole. It will then adjust to your size.

On your right is the gauntlet morpher. First, you rotate the selector ring so it shows a power ranger facing upwards, the others are for weapons, accessories, and zords. For now, your personal weapons are the only things besides your suit that you have access to the rest comes with experience or need.”

Palutena rotated the selector until a picture of a ranger in a small magic glyph appeared she pressed down with her right palm before moving her left arm and straightened her fingers pointing upward. “crystal set!” a white crystal with a ranger image inside it launched from the selector and was held above her left palm. Keeping her left palm and fingers in the position she moved her right arm back tight against her body, then moved her left hand over the right gauntlet so the crystal went into the slot.

“ready!” a male voice sounded from the morpher,

“Mystic Might!” She rose both her left arm and right arm crossing over her face keeping her palms facing back and her fingers pointing up, before closing her fists and throwing them down to her sides “Arcane Knight!”

Palutena was transported to a creamy white blacksmith's workshop in a quarry which appeared surrounding her. Palutena posed in a T shape as a gray spandex suit covered her body leaving her head uncovered, white with blue diamonds and gold trimmed chest, leg and arm armor pieces appeared either side of her coming together on her body and sealing closed. A stylised helmet with goggles on top of the forehead with magnifying lenses slammed down on her head with an oval-shaped hole showing her face and a breathing mask.

Palutena drew her right hand down the opening of the helmet shutting it like a knights visor causing a black screen to fill the hole. She picked up a nearby square-headed two-handed hammer matching the color of her suit. She front flipped forward slamming the hammer on the ground as she landed causing earth to Spike up each filled with minerals and ores, with a flourish of her hammer letting it hang down behind her as she held the end of the shaft and resting it on her shoulder she shouted, “creator of the future, Artificer Arcane Knight!”

The others nodded performing the actions that Palutena had, each of them except Celestia and Luna(who appeared in front of the sun and moon respectively) appeared before a blacksmith's shop that matched their colors they all had their bodies covered with grey spandex before colored armor formed as it did with Palutena but with their color solid and a circular setting with an their respective arcane stone enlarged on their chest. Their visors where all inverted triangles, After they flipped Twilight used her staff to send out waves of fire before landing with it held behind her. “fires of knowledge, Wizard red Arcane Knight

Rainbow Dash fired her green bow rapidly her arrows shifting into razor sharp wind eroding the ground leaving only the pillar she landed on. “ravaging winds, Green Ranger Arcane knight”

Fluttershy landed swinging a one-handed vermilion mace and a thrusting with her shield. As flowers began to grow around her. “life finds a way, Yellow Cleric Arcane Knight!”

Rarity landed with grace and poise holding her ice rapier with an intricate basket handguard. With a deft hand, she thrust in all directions before slicing diagonally revealing ice spikes around her. “cool as ice, Blue Swashbuckler Arcane Knight”

Pinkie Pie giggled and landed stabbing the ground with her white sword and shield, white energy erupted from the ground. “the right-hand path, Purple Paladin Arcane Knight!”

Lumi floated down black daggers slashing at the air before being thrown like boomerangs. Shadows trailing and obscuring her. “umbral cunning, Black Rogue Arcane Knight.”

Celestia launched herself forward Her golden and royal purple armor glinting in the sunlight when a solar flare engulfed her head forming a helmet with a stylised sun as the visor she performed a heavy sweeping kick and punches with her golden spiked cestus in mid-air as plasma spread out from the attacks her she then landed with an ax kick. “Sol Invictus, Gold Monk Arcane Knight!”

Luna launched forward her midnight blue armor with silver trim covered her body leaving her head uncovered a beam of moonlight struck her head morphing into a helmet with a stylised full moon visor. Slashing using her silver halberd glaive sending waves of moonlight out when she made a piercing slam attack to land. “ever-changing as the moon, Silver Dragoon Arcane Knight!”

“defenders of innocence, righter of wrong Arcane Knight!” they all shouted looking at their suits.

“Congratulations, power rangers,” Palutena said nodding in appreciation.

“I created these morphers to tap into the universal morphing grid, a force of balance. As the power rangers, you must defend the weak, the innocent and protect Equestria from all threats. You must work together to combat the evil Hades and his forces.”

“Umnn how is this spandex going to protect us?” Luna asked pulling at her suit.

In another universe, a rather fetching individual yelled, “It’s not spandex!” for no reason at all. His colleagues looked at him funny shaking it off as another of his idiosyncrasies. Meanwhile, Palutena chuckled to herself.

“No, Luna, it’s not spandex. It’s a super strong lightweight nanocomposite that allows the suit to breathe, While still protecting the user,” Palutena replied still trying to contain her laughter.

“So spandex,” Rainbow Dash Deadpanned, Palutena responded by shooting a bolt of light at her, she stumbled back, shock on her face.

“Not a scratch or burn, how?” Rainbow Dash asked while Twilight began taking notes.

“I explained why, and then I just demonstrated. Try not to get hit too much though, you’ll be knocked out of your morph and be powerless. They don’t make you invincible. When I feel you are ready I’ll begin unlocking your vehicles and weapons.” Palutena said demorphing,

“To return to your normal selves, just say power down, for now, you will need to gain experience before you can just demorph. And before you complain, it’s not my choice I just have a head start seeing as I designed them.”

“Power down,” they all called out demorphing,

“Now before you leave to do what you want, do not reveal you're true identities, our enemies will use it against us and I’d rather our family doesn’t become targeted because of the power rangers actions,” Palutena said sternly

Once they all nodded in assent Palutena smile and clapped her hands together “great! Now have fun,”

Just as they were about to leave, a portal appeared landed on Palutena’s head and inexplicably bounced on everyone else's before landing onto the floor

Groans filled the air as Palutena shook with a rage that only one being could invoke in her, “Murphy!” she shouted shaking her fist at the air, “I will find you and skin you alive you cretin!”
After a few breathing exercises, and a lot of meditation. Palutena took the offending token in her magical grip, her magic fizzled out due to her emotional instability, dropping the token, with a grumble she noted, SPD Badge? Oh hahaha very funny Murphy! This time she picked it up with her right hand.

“I am Anubis Cruger, The Shadow Ranger. If you need my aid, or merely my council, call on me. But be warned, you, as well as your foes, shall face my judgment.”

Palutena sighed “welp let us get on with this. I swear I am a magnet for displaced,”

“Anubis “Doggy” Cruger, let’s have a discussion.” Palutena thought through the token,

As she thought it, a blue O appeared on the front of the Token, before being replaced by a red X, and then switching back and forth.

“Weeeell shi~t, you guys might want to back up a bit. Who knows what it’ll do after judging me, I'm not exactly the cleanest individual or Respectable upright citizen. Even if I don’t have orange or blue morality. I am still morally gray.” Palutena said doing a shooing gesture.

The girls did as they were told, inching towards the library door.

“Not to mention my other issue,” Palutena muttered grimly.

After a few seconds, it settled on the X… before switching back to the O and blinking twice.

“Okay did that badge just troll me?” Palutena said her right eyebrow twitching, you’re lucky you’re a token. Palutena glared at the offending badge.

The O separated from the badge and grew, becoming a portal. Out of it stepped another Rainbow Dash and a second canine figure. “And so the Dog Catcher says, ‘If for some strange reason the gorilla shoves me out of the tree, shoot the dog’,” he said, causing him and Rainbow to laugh.

Palutena wore a neutral expression raising her right eyebrow as Spock would in Star Trek,

Captain Dash came up beside me to the newcomer and began what I call the mirror mimic gag. As the two of them inspected each other. The small smirk on the new Dash’s face belied her experience in such matters, only playing along with her dimensionally inexperienced counterpart.

“Double Rainboom?” Palutena smirked chuckling over her reference.

“No,” said Cruger as he bopped her over the head with a newspaper.

Palutena snickered, “So let’s get some fundamentals out of the way, I am the Goddess Palutena, Princess of Ponyville and engaged to Princess Celestia “Sol Invictus” Everfree. And while I know your base, I don’t know you. So if you will do me the courtesy of introducing yourself and your prismatic companion?” Palutena curtsied, as she introduced herself.

“Of course,” said Cruger as he snapped an SPD salute, “Captain Anubis Cruger, SPD Shadow and commander of Space Patrol Delta and Lightspeed Rescue. This is Sergeant Dash, SPD Red.” On hearing her name, Dash snapped a salute as well.

Out the corner of my hearing, I heard somepony mutter, “how come I am green and not red,” with a huff. Palutena pretended not to hear her gripping.

Cruger’s Dash smirked, “Guess I’m just the more awesome one.”

“Don’t worry Captain Dash, your color doesn’t represent ability like SPD’s regimented force, it represents your element, wind.”

Rainbow Dash still grumbled in response, Palutena sighed “perhaps go see if Chrysanthemum is free, I seem to remember her catching your fancy?” Captain Dash’s face turned crimson,

”W-W-We’re j-j-just friends r-r-r-really!” She took off flying out the door to save face. Palutena snickered at her flustered escape,

Cruger just shrugged before turning to Palutena, “Hey, mind if I make some lunch? You called me on my way to grab a bite.”

Cruger’s Dash licked her lips, “Do us all a favor, say yes.”

“Hang on,” Palutena chuckled, walking over to eight carriages and lifted them gently up with her magic, “Girls I am going downstairs, can you clean up the books I used?”

“Okay Palutena!” a literal horde of Twilights responded before getting to work.

Cruger leaned down to his Dash and whispered, “Hide the books.”

“Nonsense, there is no way to hide five miles cubed of books gathered from my multiversal followers. Plus those are the revive Twilight’s that came to live and work here after they or their world died. Either due to a displaced’s mistake, accident or just plain villainy. Dark Magician collects them and revives them, rehabilitates them. He asked me to take them on as workers. I agreed, the poor girls. Anyway, they quickly warmed up to the place and more came and joined on. Offered to pay them but they refused. Something about a multiverse worth of books was enough payment. Okay, now that is out of the way come along, follow me. No dilly-dallying,” Palutena chirped cheerfully as she walked through the nearest doorway to them.

“This way don’t fall behind, the dimensions can be a bit finicky, I am starting to wonder if they took on a genius loci while I was gone,” Palutena said absently walking down the stairs with her precious packages.

Cruger smirked, “Don’t worry, I’m good with such things.”

“Oh have much experience with Genius Loci? Annoying creatures when they settle in a land.” Palutena said, “to our left is my token hall, the global map of Equestria and my personal crafting workshop.”

Further down still another doorway on the left appeared, “That room is off limits, it leads to portals to my other temples in the multiverse helpful for tokenless travel,” Palutena noticed Captain Nova, a humanised Twilight her body covered with scars and her steampunk augments, going through her business in the room, “Oh good Gilgamesh’s first shipment, Nova have we sent our side of the deal?“

Captain Nova walked over and hugged Palutena, “not yet hun, but it should be off by the days end assuming no giant monster attacks hehehe,”

“well just be careful, dear don’t get hurt,” Palutena said giving the girl a kiss on the cheek,

“You’re almost as bad as Celestia,” Nova responded with a blush adorning her cheeks shooing Palutena away in embarrassment.

Turning to Cruger and Dash Palutena added for their benefit, “Oh don’t worry, a few of the revive twilights are part of our herd, Nova because she lost her Celestia who was her fiance, and the other one an alicorn princess. Is just really kinky. Died from auto-erotic asphyxia while bedding dragon lord Ember.”

After one last hug, Palutena continued down until they reached the throne room, filled with ponies coming and going, those that noticed bowed respectfully before carrying on.

As they neared the entrance to the atrium Palutena made a swift about-face left and walked through a door.

As they walked through they turned right to see a window into a huge feast hall/mess, ponies eating and chatting, guards relaxing playing cards. They were now standing in a modern kitchen with walk-in freezer, pantry and kegs, beverage machines and a coffee vending machine in the corner.

Dash turned to Cruger, “Looks like you’ll be making good use of that won’t you.”

“It seems I will,” Cruger replied.

“Oh btw, my Ponies are omnivorous leaning heavily on the carnivorous, hearts warming didn’t go exactly as the show’s version, so instead of farming they turned to livestock.” Palutena explained opening a fridge full of various meats belonging to various animals and monsters, “Oh hey there’s still some chimera left after last time.” Palutena remarked.

“That won’t be necessary,” said Cruger as a very large portal started to form on the ceiling of the kitchen, “I brought my own ingredients.” Out of the portal dropped a mass of varied and odd looking ingredients. “Today’s menu, filet of Jewel Meat, Barbacow kabab, Lightning Lemonade, and Chocoal Fudge cake.”

“Can’t say I am familiar with the jeweled meat recipe,” Palutena responded before shrugging,

“Jewel Meat isn’t a recipe per-say,” Cruger said as he pulled out a massive piece of meat that sparkled like a fine jewel, “it’s an ingredient. Ever watch Toriko?”

“I saw the one piece crossover but not the show itself, personally. Oh well, I won’t be eating it, got any dishes using gems? The only thing that sates me nowadays, well that and sapient beings but I swore off the stuff, after an oath from Gilgy and a blood seal and magic shock color from Rin, I hate void dwellers!” she huffed as her hackles rose. Suddenly, Palutena began breathing in and out slowly, counting to ten.

“That breathing exercise is me sent” she chuckled, “Sorry about the tangent getting violated, raped, mind controlled, and force-fed sapients during a death battle tournament does little for one’s psyche.”

“Well maybe this will help,” Cruger said as he cut off a piece of Jewel Meat and handed it to her, “trust me, this will be epic.”

Palutena eyed the proffered meat with a skeptical look, before shrugging and tossing the offered meat in her mouth, it opening far wider than a humans or ponies’ mouth should have.

Dash turned to Cruger and held up 3 fingers, then 2, then 1.

Palutena chewed it with little vigor, frowning when she tasted the meat, then chewing fast and gulping it down, tears running down her cheeks. “Flavoured food, that isn’t gems! And it’s actually sitting in my stomach, I thought I’d be stuck eating jewels and gems for the rest of my immortal life! But how! Human and pony foods don’t taste anything like it,” then she frowned, sniffing her face shifting into a kitsune one, “Wait. The jewel part- it was literal? How in my name did you do that? Is this some Dissy chicanery!?

Cruger chuckled as he cut up the rest of the meat and started grilling it. “I’ve always loved that show, but I couldn’t find a Displaced for it. So, when I gained the ability, I cut out the Minuteman and went straight to the source.”

“Oh, what’s his face Aron, Auron that merchant that isn’t an asshole, surprised we haven’t met both being multiversal merchants, ah well so long as he doesn’t step on my turf so to speak I have no real beef with the guy. Speaking of-” Palutena took out a dodecahedral crystal the best kind of crystal and gave it to Dash,

After prodding it the gem flashed into life causing her to jump out of her metaphorical skin, as a holographic display, appeared and welcomed Dash to “Palutena’s Spells, fictional spells to reality, also a new feature of the store Palutena’s secret for all your mare, humanoid, Anthro, displaced needs, discrete easy delivery, free delivery with purchases over twenty bits. Please your colt or mare tonight with the best in quality lingerie and toys. Limited time offer during the interactive holoshop launch of Palutena’s secret thirty percent off your first order, offer ends January first of the human calendar ask your nearest displaced for further details.”

Cruger chuckled, “Nothing personal, but I’m good.” He rolled up his sleeve to reveal a glowing blue gem set in a high-tech looking bracer.

“Space stone? Meh takes the fun out of making things for yourself, heck I even hate the fact that I could basically do what it and Discord does and do it with ease. Clicking your fingers just takes that feeling of pride one gets on a finished project for a job well done then pisses all over it bah!” Palutena took a swig of her own personal drink from her infinite hip flask, “Dea lux, amor. Comes in whiskey or vodka flavor.” Palutena then proffered her flask to Cruger

“Want some? I know it’s not quite a campfire but you know etiquette it doesn’t care. I’d offer you some Dash but unless you’re a goddess or goddess-like it’s gonna knock you on your ass faster than black label black absinthe and that stuff is one hundred and twenty proof,”

Palutena leaned over to Dash’s ear which flicked at the proximity, in a husky voice Palutena whisper, “If you want, there is a feature that lets you try on what I sell. Maybe some lucky mare or stallion will appreciate, you in all your prismatic glory.” Palutena’s hot breath entered into her ear. Palutena smirked impishly, only for Dash to throw her to the ground in a textbook judo throw. Palutena sunk through the floor and back beside Dash, chuckling

“D'aww that's adorable. Just a tip though Dashie in the future, I let you do that,” Dash in response tried again, she tried and tried again but Palutena didn't move an inch. Didn't seem to be fighting or trying as she inspected her nails.

Cruger laughed as he turned the kabobs, “You should know better than to do that to a cop.”

“I am a literal goddess, Cruger there are very few people in this multiverse that are above me, and aside from one other displaced all of them are void dwellers and eldritch abominations. Besides I am Harmony, Chaos, Order, Light and Dark, Life and Death and other myriad things, I could revive the dead, heal the wounded and sick and many other things. I think nay I know a little alcohol poisoning is no match for me. But it doesn’t mean it’s not going to suck for Dash.”

“Not right now,” Cruger said as he pulled a massive cake out of the oven, “Now is lunch time.”

“Hmmn, anyway I wish you luck Cruger, I’ll be over there with Dashie here,” Palutena gestured to the pegasus browsing the shop, “come on! Dashie you can take that home with you I got plenty of copies,” Palutena said lifting the pegasus up causing her to squeak in surprise, “Come meet my foals,”

“wait what foals?” Cruger’s Dash said blinking in confusion.

“these eight carriages, I carry aren't a fashion statement. They contain my beautiful children, ” Palutena said as she sat down placing the carriages around her shifting her form as she placed Dash next to her eight foals anthro dragon pony foals were laid in Palutena's arms cooing and babbling happily.

Dash squeed and began cooing over the foals as they vied for her and their mother's attention.

"The filly with the Pastel pink mane and the light yellow coat, that’s Rose Light, The colt with the flame red mane and white coat is called Nova Flare, the filly with the electric blue mane white coat Is Serenity Song, the filly with a golden yellow mane and orange coat is Sunny Delight, the colt with the green coat and brown mane is Verdant Fields and the filly with the pink coat and the white mane, I’ll name her Quartz Seeker. The filly with the dark blue mane and tail and white coat is Pandora and finally, is the fully with the rainbow mane and tail she is Harmony.” Palutena said gesturing to each respective foal.

"Wait Harmony as in the elements of Harmony, Harmony?" Cdash asked in shock.

"Yep, it's a long and awkward tale that I shall be keeping to myself," Palutena replied.

Palutena kissed each of her foals on the foreheads, “my precious children know that your mommy loves you, I will protect you and everyone till my dying breath, “

She took a breath and softly started to hum,
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away~.”

“The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping. I dreamt I held you in my arms. When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken. So I hung my head, and I cried~.”

“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You never know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away~.”

“I'll always love you and make you happy. If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another. You'll regret it all one day~.”

“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.

Please don't take my sunshine away~.”

“hey, mom! Hey Dash!” Twilight said as she wrapped her arms around Palutena,

“hey twilight dear,” Palutena whispered giving her a peck on the cheek, “shhh indoor voice sweet, your brothers and sisters are asleep.” Twilight blushed sheepishly,

“Sorry,“ she whispered

Cruger chuckled as his eyes glanced at Twilight’s wrist, “Excuse me for asking, but is that a Morpher I see?”

Twilight froze wide-eyed, “nooo, i-i-t's a magical amplifier,” she responded sweating nervously.

“Twilight never play poker or go into politics, at least while you are so easy to read dear. “ Palutena said shaking her head in slight amusement. “also think, if he knows a morpher when he sees one he obviously knows about power rangers already. And he should as he is a leader of his own power rangers.” Palutena explained to Twilight,

“oh right umn, well this is awkward,” Twilight said blushing profusely. Palutena brought her into a hug “it's okay dear, I am not mad.”

Palutena turned to Cruger, “yes they are morphers, created them myself and connected them to the morphing grid. I and my guard were getting overwhelmed by all the monsters titanic and small still.” Palutena said shrugging and munching on gems she was pulling from the treasury.

“I haven't made the zords or vehicles yet as I just gathered the team today. Anyway Twilight this is your ranger forebear, Anubis “Doggy” Cruger, Shadow ranger and commander of Space Patrol Delta and no he's not a Diamond dog, he's a Sirian. Cruger, you likely know a Twilight already, but this is my adopted daughter Twilight Sparkle and my red ranger,”

“Red’s a heavy responsibility, but I think you’ll make a good one,” said Cruger. “So, how about I get started on the Zords after we eat?”

“well if you're offering, I can show you the rangers looks, let's go to a nearby quarry you know for nostalgia, but first. Chrysanthemum!” Palutena called outgaining the attention of a white coated mare with butterfly wings and a horn,

“yes, lady Palutena!” Chrysanthemum replied nervously twitching.

“watch over my foals, when we go to the quarry, I’ll put them in my room. You shall be rewarded if you do well.” Palutena explained to the frightened mare.

“of course my lady,” she bowed and ran out of the room, causing Palutena to facepalm.

“silly mare, well now that is taken care of let's eat, I’ll send her meal up to her,” Palutena explained shaking her head with a sigh,

“I made enough for the entire facility,” Cruger said before turning to Celestia, who was hovering over a table of massive cakes, “Moderation young lady.”

“who are you? Palutena, who is this?” Celestia said flying over to Cruger before turning to Palutena.

“Dear this is Commander Anubis Cruger, he's a displaced.” Palutena explained pulling Celestia in for a hug, immediately Celestia was suspicious of him.

“Don't worry he's not one of the bad ones,” Palutena reassuring her.

“Also I am aware Cruger, but that girl is unlikely to eat now until she's finished unless I deliberately left hers to her. She is basically like Udonna’s apprentice but worse, “

“Tell me about it, you’re dating your Celestia, I raised mine,” Cruger passed a plate to her

“Fiance actually and sire to my children, and pregnant with the foals I sired. We met in a rather unorthodox manner, her guard captain at the time was a zealot of Celestia’s worshippers who didn't like me treating her like my equal or without honorific.

Saved a lot of ponies at the time, messed with time to save Cadance from Sombra’s coup by bringing her forward in time, got stoned by an illegal petrification enchantment from mister zealot, while receiving a reward for my charity work. “Now, no dessert until you’ve finished you’ve finished your vegetables.”

Palutena facepalmed, and Celestia rose her right eyebrow in the universal sign for ‘really?’

“Commander, while I appreciate that you raised your version of me don't think that means the same to me. Nor does it mean I will listen to you. Besides I never had that issue, that was more Luna’s problem. I'd appreciate it if you would remember that.” Celestia remarked dryly,

“Fair enough, but still, you should try the Atomushrooms, they have quite the pleasant kick,” Cruger said, waving the plate under her nose, “lots of vitamins for the foals.”

Celestia took the offered plate and began eating it, “pretty good, bet these would go well with hydra meat,” she commented as she ate. “Never had this meat before, interesting flavors, what is it?”

“Jewel Meat, a most remarkable meat that not only can be extracted from the Regal Mammoth without harming it, but combines the flavor and texture of every cut of meat there is, take another bite.”

Celestia shrugged and took another bite, “What kind of Discord shenanigans is this!? That’s not possible or at least highly improbable,”

“Not where I got it, there it’s just good food,” Cruger said before turning to Palutena, “I’ll give you the dimensional coordinates before I leave.”

“Good to know,” Palutena muttered, “might create a few recipes of my own.”

“So after this and the zords, I would like to see your world for my own eyes,” Palutena continued as she ate.

I wonder what his team is like.

“I am also going to need some ranger mentor tips,” Palutena said absently, “I admit I am quite the newbie in that regard,”

“The main thing is you can’t be cryptic, if your Rangers have to be masters at word puzzles, you’re doing something wrong.”

“I don’t think I could pull a Zordon or Dimitria,” Palutena replied, “plus that whole mysterious mentor thing annoyed me a lot.”

“Also, you can’t baby them, they need a challenge to grow, and that won’t happen if you swoop in and hyper beam a scrub.”

“The reason I created the team in the first place was that I was unable to keep up solo, I can’t be everywhere at once. Plus I am getting tired mentally, I am not going to be doing a whole lot of hyper beaming,” Palutena replied with a sigh.

“The last bit is to ensure that they’re able to train, which is something I can help with, Sergeant!”

“Sir,” Dash said as he chewed on a kabob.

“After lunch, while I’m working on the Zords, have a sparring match with the new-bloods, and don’t hold back too much.”

“No fear of that sir,” Dash said as an evil grin spread across her face.

“By the way, any suggestions on a base? My tower/palace is too public, plus it’s just asking some ne’er do well to try and destroy the surrounding city and while it has its own shield and defensive weapons, I’d rather not make it a target in the first place, plus there’s no space to store the zords.” Palutena said.

“One of your aspects is Light right?”

“Hang on let me just find the easy to decipher the list of pally’s aspects,” Palutena said diving into her inventory, “Ah Ha! Found you!”

Palutena pulled out a scroll and passed it to Cruger,

domains grouped: Elements(Fire, water, lightning, air/wind, earth) war(war and warfare) life and death(forests,hills, fertility, dead, death, afterlife, mortality, motherhood, sex, childbirth, family, protection, joy, harvest, procreation) love(love, beauty) magic(witchcraft, seidr, necromancy, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, ghosts, sorcery ) celestial bodies(the moon) Arts and crafts(dance, music, crafting, craft workers, metals, blacksmithing) balance(light, dark, order, chaos, harmony) wildlife(all animals, cats and equines, hunting) merchants( gold, riches, travel, crossroads, entrance ways)

Cruger grinned, “Perfect, what say you to a coastal lighthouse, with a rail connection?”

“Please remember that this team is based on knights, the arcane and fantasy RPG class archetypes,” Palutena pointed out with a grin,

“I’ll have some sketches for you in an hour,” said Cruger.

“Cool, welp I am done eating if you are,” Palutena said teleporting the foals to Chrysanthemum and then her food, “Everyone else ready?”

Cruger pulled out a digital sketchbook as everyone else stood up, “No permanent damage Sergeant.”

“Understood sir,” Dash said as she limbered up her shoulders.

In a nondescript Quarry outside of town that hadn’t been used since, the monster explosion,
Palutena stepped through a portal, with the other rangers following after her,

“Now seeing as you only did this once before, I’ll demonstrate again,”

Palutena rotated the selector until a picture of a ranger in a small magic glyph appeared she pressed down with her right palm before moving her left arm and straightened her fingers pointing upward. “crystal set!” Palutena shouted.

a white crystal with a ranger image inside it launched from the selector and was held above her left palm. Keeping her left palm and fingers in straight in the position she moved her right arm back tight against her body, then moved her left hand over the right gauntlet so the crystal went into the slot.

“ready!” a male voice sounded from the morpher,

“Mystic Might!” She rose both her left arm and right arm crossing over her face keeping her palms facing back and her fingers pointing up, before closing her fists and throwing them down to her sides “Arcane Knight!”

Palutena was transported to a creamy white blacksmith's workshop in a quarry which appeared surrounding her. Palutena posed in a T shape as a gray spandex suit covered her body leaving her head uncovered, white with blue diamonds and gold trimmed chest, leg and arm armor pieces appeared either side of her coming together on her body and sealing closed. A stylised helmet with goggles on top of the forehead with magnifying lenses slammed down on her head with an oval-shaped hole showing her face and a breathing mask.

Palutena drew her right hand down the opening of the helmet shutting it like a knights visor causing a black screen to fill the hole. She picked up a nearby square-headed two-handed hammer matching the color of her suit. She front flipped forward slamming the hammer on the ground as she landed causing earth to Spike up each filled with minerals and ores, with a flourish of her hammer and then letting it hang down behind her as she held the end of the shaft and resting it on her shoulder she shouted, “creator of the future, Artificer Arcane Knight!”

The others nodded performing the actions that Palutena had once again, each of them except Celestia and Luna(who appeared in front of the sun and moon respectively) appeared before a blacksmith's shop that matched their colors they all had their bodies covered with grey spandex before colored armor formed as it did with Palutena but with their color solid and a circular setting with their respective arcane stone enlarged on their chest. Their visors where all inverted triangles, After they flipped Twilight used her staff to send out waves of fire before landing with it held behind her. “fires of knowledge, Wizard red Arcane Knight

Rainbow Dash fired her green bow rapidly her arrows shifting into razor sharp wind eroding the ground leaving only the pillar she landed on. “ravaging winds, Green Ranger Arcane knight”

Fluttershy landed swinging a one-handed vermilion mace and a thrusting with her shield. As flowers began to grow around her. “life finds a way, Yellow Cleric Arcane Knight!”

Rarity landed with grace and poise holding her ice rapier with an intricate basket handguard. With a deft hand, she thrust in all directions before slicing diagonally revealing ice spikes around her. “cool as ice, Blue Swashbuckler Arcane Knight”

Pinkie Pie giggled and landed stabbing the ground with her white sword and shield, white energy erupted from the ground. “the right-hand path, Purple Paladin Arcane Knight!”

Lumi floated down black daggers slashing at the air before being thrown like boomerangs. Shadows trailing and obscuring her. “umbral cunning, Black Rogue Arcane Knight.”

Celestia launched herself forward Her golden and royal purple armor glinting in the sunlight when a solar flare engulfed her head forming a helmet with a stylised sun as the visor she performed a heavy sweeping kick and punches with her golden spiked cestus in mid-air as plasma spread out from the attacks her she then landed with an ax kick. “Sol Invictus, Gold Monk Arcane Knight!”

Luna launched forward her midnight blue armor with silver trim covered her body leaving her head uncovered a beam of moonlight struck her head morphing into a helmet with a stylised full moon visor. Slashing using her silver halberd glaive sending waves of moonlight out when she made a piercing slam attack to land. “ever-changing as the moon, Silver Dragoon Arcane Knight!”

“defenders of innocence, righter of wrong Arcane Knight!” they all shouted looking at their suits. They all stood next to each other in a line as a multicolor explosion erupted as they posed.

Dash couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. “A little cheezy don’t you think?”
“A lifetime of cheesy Power Rangers shows will do that, and SPD was no different,” Palutena retorted, “bloody kat ranger” Palutena grumbled.

“Oh you’re going to pay for that comment,” Dash said as she pulled out her Morpher, “SPD, Emergency! SWAT Mode!” Dash was encased in her Ranger suit, which was then encased in additional armor as she brought a massive rifle across her chest. “Class is in session.”

Palutena smirked cycling her selector, “weapon crystal set,” she slotted the crystal into her morpher,

“Weapon Summon,” a male voice called out as two magic circles separated horizontally revealing a white two-handed hammer in between the circles, “Artificer’s hammer!” Palutena called out as she grabbed her weapon, performing a flurry of moves, and then slamming the ground, causing it to tremor and erupt a line of earthen spikes with minerals and ores in them.

Dash looked at the damage, “Damage isn’t half bad, but most enemies can get out of the way.”

Palutena smirked she twisted and swung her hammer three hundred and sixty degrees causing a white light to strike the pillars refracting between them the light traveled along them getting stronger before striking at Dash, forcing her to jump back.

Still smirking Palutena held the hammer in front of her and pulled the head down, where it extended over her shoulder, an aiming reticle popped out of the left side over her right eye, underneath it a trigger descended parallel to the shaft, four circular holes opened in the front and back of the head a beeping sound signaled the weapon locking onto Dash, as Palutena knelt, “artificer’s volley!” Palutena pulled the trigger sending a volley of four, then eight then twelve light construct missiles at her target. The recoil kicking up Palutena’s weapon as they exited it.

Dash leveled her rifle and shot down the projectiles, “You might want to consider adjusting the sights, and switching to a single, faster-moving shot.”

Standing back up Palutena swung the hammer using centrifugal force to reset the head to its original position ready to follow up with more melee attacks.

“I’ll take that under advisement,” Palutena replied,

The others began drawing their own weapons,

“Sol Cetus!”

“Moonlight glaive berd!”

“Umbra Daggers!”

“White Sword and Shield!”

“Mercy Mace!”

“Windcutter Bow!”

“Flaring Staff!”

“Graciel Ice!”

Lumi, Celestia, Luna, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity rushed towards Dash, while Twilight, Rainbow provided ranged support, firing in between the other’s hits.

Celestia performed a roundhouse launching a lash of plasma at Dash, forcing her to duck.

Rarity used any opening to stab at Dash, Pinkie would then follow up with a shield bash or a swipe of her sword, Twilight used her staff like a bo and laid into the dash as she retreated with a flurry of pole strikes, as Lumi performed hit and run attacks trying to hit Dash’s rear. Luna meanwhile sent waves of moonlight or used whatever opening she could find in the already overcrowded melee. After about a minute of fending off attacks, Dash launched a grappling line at a nearby gantry, pulling herself away and leaving a flashbang grenade behind.

Blinded temporarily they lost sight of Dash, when their eyesight was restored they saw her on top of a nearby building.

“Let’s bring them together, Graciel Ice Blaster mode!” Rarity called out folding the rapier’s blade under itself and flipping the grip downwards, Twilight connected her staff to Graciel Ice, followed by dash throwing her bow it’s handle intersecting Twilight’s staff, everyone backed off and joined holding the weapon, “Arcane cannon!” Energy gathered from all the rangers into the cannon, “Fire!” The ones on the outside of the group swung their left or right arm out depending on their side as it fire, launching a ball of multicolored energy at Dash.

“Idiots,” Dash said as she rappelled down, well clear of the blast. “Don’t use the big guns without making sure they can’t dodge.” Once she hit the ground, she shot at the combined weapon, trying to cause them to separate.

Pinkie rushed forward using her shield to block the attack bracing for the hit. As it struck her shield, her shield glowed, Pushing her back. It split open to reveal a spherical gem set in a gold ring that fired her shots back at Dash.

“Not bad,” Dash said as she rolled out of the way, “but you shouldn’t reflect directly back, aim it like you would any attack.”

Rarity, Twilight, and Dash dismissed the arcane cannon and ran behind Pinkie, “Castle Wall Mode, slamming her shield into the ground it expanded left and right as it grew taller, leaving enough opening to fire from cover, Twilight took the centre aiming her staff, alongside Dash on her left side and Rarity on right taking shots at Dash,

“Graciel Ice Blaster, Ice Grenade!” Rarity said as she aimed at dash a large ball charged at the end of Graciel’s barrel, she fired when she had the shot, the grenade hit the ground near Dash

The ice grenade exploded ice all around itself, Dash was barely able to get out of the blast radius. “Looks like I don’t need to tell you to aim for the ground, but your fuse is too long and you need to hit a little closer.”

Luminescence threw her Umbra Daggers, they multiplied into four sets of blades that converged on dash hitting then rebounding and hitting her again in quick succession, pinning her arms and legs.

Palutena drew the head of her hammer downwards halfway down the shaft, Celestia used her cestus to grip the shaft, Luna’s glaive berd slotted into the top of Palutena’s hammer, a second edge flipped open mirroring the first. Palutena, Celestia and Luna held the new sword, together, their elements joining in the sword, “Celestial striker, Final slash!” The three of them drew back the sword and began slashing each slash creating an afterimage that slashed in a different way, each striking Dash at the same time.

“Not bad,” said Dash, as she managed to get her gun arm free and used her rifle to parry the attack, “but you need to compensate for the fact that the average monster possesses super strength.”

Behind Dash Fluttershy quietly walked up behind her and bonked her on the head with her mace, knocking her out. “I am so sorry,” Fluttershy apologized as the fight ended rather anticlimactically.

“Not half bad,” Cruger said as he stepped through a portal. “I expected this to last a little longer, what with this being your first time.”

Meanwhile, the rest of the team demorphed as Fluttershy profusely apologized to the unconscious Dash.

“Looks like I have some parameters to tweak, once we finally get a proper command center,” Palutena groaned, “sigh that’s what I get for not being able to do beta testing on these things. Sorry guys look like, I need to buff up somethings. And don’t worry about returning the morphers I can patch them remotely seeing as the weapons and armor are magical constructs.”

“I’m glad Dash was able to assist you in that regard,” Cruger said as he opened a portal over her, which drenched her in water, waking her up.

“Yeah, it was useful, though it makes me wonder how the final strikes in the show never have them restraining the targets during the attacks, am I missing a stasis system of some sort if only I had more data!” Palutena complained.

“I figure the preceding fight injured them enough so they couldn’t dodge,” said Cruger as Dash came up, shaking the water out of her ears.

“What got me?”

“Fluttershy hit you from your blind spot,” Cruger said, causing Dash to groan in embarrassment.

“The super mega bonk attack,” Palutena chuckled, “by the way thanks for providing the test for the untested gear, Dashie. Found some bugs, things I need to buff up and flaws in certain weapons. You spd folk is lucky you have a whole R&D team to do this stuff for you, note to self: hire trustworthy r&d team.”

“Speaking of, I have Zord concepts for approval,” Cruger said as he brought out his pad.

“Yay!” Palutena giggled looking over the blueprints, “hmmm do you have one for the Megazord combinations or is that pending?” Palutena said as she looked over the designs

“Let’s see if the Rangers like their individual Zords first shall we?” Cruger said. “We’ll start with Twilight.” Cruger pressed a few buttons on his pad, causing a holographic image to appear. It was of a red steam locomotive, along the sides of the boiler were details that resembled crenelated walls carved with various runes, and the front had a barn owl’s face. “The Heraldic Owl Zord can travel on existing rails or generate its own, carry other Zords on specialized rail cars, and serve as an amplifier for its pilots magic.”

“Fascinating, but how does it generate rails and will I need to learn how to drive a train?” Twilight said looking over the design.

“Next we have the Heraldic Falcon Zord,” Cruger said as the image changed. The new Zord was a green jet with a nose cone that had the form of a falcon wearing a Coventry Sallet style helmet. Slung underneath the wings, that resembled that of an actual falcon’s wings, were a pair of rocket pods that resembled quivers, complete with arrow-esq rockets, and a set of energy cannons that resembled jousting lances. The jet engines had large crystals poking out of the rear, and were wrapped in gold bands with runic engravings. “VTOL capabilities, top speed Mach 5.2, weapons loadout consisting of 24 air to surface armor-piercing rockets and a pair of high energy rapid fire pulse cannons.”

“Awesome, I don’t even go that fast unless I use the sonic rainboom.” Rainbow Dash cheered

“Will need to make ammo production a function of the base,” Palutena noted

“Next up, the Heraldic Dolphin Zord,” the image changed to that of a blue caravel. The figurehead was that of a dolphin, and the main mast resembled a longsword. The master cabin and deck were trimmed with gold crenellations and matriculations engraved with runes. “20 guns, ramming prow with icebreaking capabilities, and fully appointed master cabin because I knew who it was for.”

“That’s good to hear, one must always comport themselves as their station deserves,” Rarity replied her chest puffed out.

“Next, the Heraldic Bear Zord,” the image was now of a yellow ambulance with an engine block in the shape of a bear’s head. The top of the rear compartment resembled that of a medieval fort with round towers, and a white stripe going along each side with the word ‘AMBULANCE’ as well as some runes. “In addition to a couple of short-range blasters, it can generate a regenerative field that can heal civilians as well as its fellow Zords.”

“Oh my I hope it doesn’t scare anyone,” Fluttershy said looking over it.

“Last of the main 5 is the Heraldic Crocodile Zord,” this image was that of a pink tank destroyer. The main cannon was housed in a protective sheath that resembled a crocodile’s head. The tracks had a rune on each link, and the top of the side skirts was crenelated. “100mm main cannon firing armor piercing high explosive rounds, and enough armor to take several hits from said gun.”

“Think of the parties I could do with that much firepower, almost as much as that new party howitzer I saw one time. And it looks like gummy, so it twice as awesome.”

“These five Zords combine into what I’m calling the Excalibur Megazord.” The hologram shifted to show all 5 Zords at once, which then started shifting. The Owl Zord’s front folded down and rotated 180° as a head extended from it. The Dolphin Zord’s mast detached and the hull split and the bow folded, becoming a pair of legs. The Bear Zord extended as a hand popped out of the rear. The cannon of the Crocodile Zord folded to the top to reveal a hand as it too extended. The helmet of the Falcon Zord detached, as its weapon pods collapsed slightly. It then linked together, the Owl Zord was the torso, the Dolphin the legs, the Bear and Crocodile Zords were the left and right arms respectively, and the Falcon attached to the back. The mast went into its hand to become a sword, the sail attached to the left arm to be a shield, and the helmet attached to the head.

“Well, that’s one Megazord lets hope we don’t end up needing three or more. Also, that train is going to come in handy,” Palutena remarked

“As is the caravel,” Rarity muttered with designs for its use.

“I have a few more,” Cruger said as the image changed to a white and gold WWII flying fortress, with suns for roundels. The cockpit was that of a lion’s head, including mane. The engines had gold bands engraved with runes, and the props looked like daggers. The machine-gun emplacements looked like ballistas, and a crenelated walkway ran along the spine. “The Heraldic Lion Zord may only have a top speed of Mach 1.8, but it has 4 defensive emplacements for 360° coverage, and is capable of deploying several plasma bombs in quick succession.”

“I’ll make good use of it,” Celestia replied nodding in appreciation.

“Its counterpart is the Heraldic Wolf Zord,” Cruger said as the image changed to a black police cruiser with silver details. Along the sides were silver bands that had the word ‘POLICE’ followed by a crescent moon and flanked by runes. There was a jet engine similar to that of the ones on the Heraldic Falcon Zord, save with a silver band instead of gold, sticking out of the rear, the hood looked like a wolf’s head, and the oversized siren was crenelated. “The combination of a short-range teleport and a turbo booster make this the fastest of the ground-based Zords, and the siren has a built-in pulse repeater cannon. Of course, if you just want to ram them, the grill is reinforced for that purpose.”

“Huh this kind of reminds me of Batmare’s car,” Luna muttered to herself.

“They combine into the Caliburn Megazord.” The two Zords appeared and started to combine. The Wolf Zord split down the middle, the jet booster detaching, and fists flipped out of the grill. The rear and dorsal defense turrets of the Lion Zord detached, the back half split in two, the tail reconfigured into a pair of feet, the back of each wing detached, and the cockpit folded down to reveal a head wearing a Crusader Great Helm. The two halves of the Wolf Zord attached to the Lion Zord to become arms, and the turrets attached to the top of the shoulders. A handle extended from the jet turbine, which combined into a massive, by Megazord standards, claymore.

The two sisters giggled in excitement, “Our enemies shall rue the day they threatened the innocent!” Luna crowed happily.

“Finally we have the Heraldic Dragon Zord.” This image was that of a white and blue space shuttle with gold trimmings, complete with booster rockets. The cockpit section resembled a dragon’s head, and paint details on the wings resembled that of a dragon’s. The external booster and fuel tanks looked like medieval towers, and the windows running along the sides resembled cross-shaped arrow slits with crenellations and merticulations. “It can enter orbit unassisted unless you count the booster rockets, the dragon’s head can open to reveal a plasma heavy assault cannon, plus it has this little beauty.” The cargo bay opened to deploy a satellite weapons platform in the shape of a large jousting lance with a single shield-shaped solar panel. “The combat support satellite’s ion cannon is so accurate it can core a coin from orbit and powerful enough to slice through almost anything. Its rate of fire is a bit on the slow side though, so don’t rely on it too much.”

“Mama likes,” Palutena purred eying the zord like a weapons fan at a weapons factory.

“It can reconfigure into the Avalon Megazord.” The external fuel tank split apart as the top of each half folded to become feet, and hands extended from the thruster of each of the booster rockets. The wings folded up as the dragon head cockpit folded down to reveal a head wearing a European closed helm. The arms and legs connected as the satellite split into a lance and shield for it to wield.

“Avalon, the ever-distant utopia, interesting choice but definitely matching the knights' theme.” Palutena smiled before turning fully to Cruger, “So about that base, I have an idea on where to put it, somewhere in the Everfree in the mountains or underground.” Palutena said.

“True, but you have to consider the Heraldic Dolphin Zord,” said Cruger, “you’ll need a water connection to avoid having to rely solely on the Owl Zord for deployment.”

“Do not fret about that, remember I can deal with the materials and elements side of things, just need design aid for the moment,” Palutena reassured Cruger,

“I’ve got a basic concept here,” Cruger said as he pulled up an image of a medieval tower-esq lighthouse on a cliffside, but a few keystrokes later it was on the side of a mountain instead.

“I am trying to go for discreet if possible” Palutena mentioned looking over the plans.

“Most of its subterranean, and the lighthouse serves a purpose.”

“Don’t you mean a porpoise,” Palutena replied with a chuckle,

A few keystrokes later and half of the exterior was removed to reveal the interior. Off to one side was a turntable holding the Owl Zord, and next to it was a small dock where the Dolphin zord was moored. Sitting in a set of garages were the Bear, Crocodile and Wolf Zords, while the Falcon and Lion Zords sat on a pair of elevators. The Dragonzord sat in a launch tube that led up through the lighthouse, which had a retractable top. Running along the top of the cavern was a gantry with a crane.

“I feel I should rename ourselves thunderbirds,” Palutena chuckled at her little joke,

Cruger chuckled in return, “I love that show. Anyway, the roundhouse behind the Heraldic Owl Zord contains the flatbeds for the other Zords that are loaded via the gantry and there is plenty of room for auxiliary zords if you want to expand.”

“Good to know, is there a barracks, residential/commercial/R&D area to the base?” Palutena asked in a curious tone.

“Right here,” Cruger said as a set of windows above the roundhouse started blinking, and the silhouette of a couple of rooms appeared behind them. “The placement allows them to deploy either to the Heraldic Owl Zord if you’re using the rail cars, or the hanger proper if you’re not. That said, interior decoration isn’t my forte, so I’ll leave the specifics to you, though I must request that either the control room or the common room links up to the marked windows.”

“Don’t worry the command center itself is going to be purely utilitarian, oh and by the way, you can go relax and do what you need slash to want to you earned it, Celestia honey can you make sure the foals haven’t overwhelmed Chrysanthemum?”

Celestia snickered, “That would be quite a scene to see,” she said before teleporting the team home.

Turning back to Cruger Palutena said, “Seems like everything's in order, now let’s go see your world and see if I can pay back some of my debt. Oh, how do you feel about wish fulfillment/rewards? I know some others that absolutely hate help.”

“I actually can’t really think of anything,” said Cruger, “nothing personal, but I’m set.”

“Perhaps your staff then? Or I could perform some upgrades to delta base that aren’t mission critical but useful. I am not sure if you noticed but I don’t like lopsided exchanges,”

“Well, I heard through the grapevine you’ve got a sort of magical Best Buy type store.”

“That is correct, Palutena’s spells fictional spells from fiction to reality, I also recently added my other franchise to it, “Palutena’s secret” essentially Victoria Secret in Equestria, I also take custom commissions, most forms of currency accepted except for Scottish pounds and Scoltish bits,” Palutena explained, “also on the side I can provide materials, ores, foci, and practically anything if given time to actually make it.

So is there any reason you brought up my shop? Perhaps you found a way to repay you?” Palutena asked her eyes gleaming and rubbing her hands together.

“Well, having a place where I can get a Mcguffin on mail order could always be useful,” Cruger chuckled, “imagine giving Tirek a Deck of Many Things, and having him draw The Void.”
“Probably would advise against a deck of many things, nasty magic item. But yes such a thing would be useful, let’s go so I can stake out the real estate and get a head start on aiding your staff.” Palutena removed Cruger’s token from her inventory and traced the anchor point.

“Come along Cruger, Dash,” Palutena said, she then created a portal leading to Cruger’s world. Wrapping her arms around the two visitors, she walked them through the portal.

Stepping out of the portal, with Dash and Cruger in tow, Palutena made her way before she was confronted with A and B squad, Palutena groaned This is going to suck!

“Don’t worry Rainbow, Commander, we’ll have you free soon,” Sora reassured those next to me.

Palutena turned to Cruger, “Are these guys for real? Why would I kidnap you then bring you back home? That’d be the lamest kidnapping attempt ever.”

“SPD Emergency!” both teams called out, morphing, Palutena groaned more and hearing Dash’s snickers,

“Don’t hurt them too much,” Cruger said joining in with dash’s laughter,

Palutena turned to glare at them to see them sitting in folded chairs a bowl of popcorn between them, “Really!?” Palutena hissed.

“Fuck it, let’s just end this quickly, through the flow of my blood, my power strikes you down!” Palutena grumbled, the seals on her hands glowed, and drew her sword, “Haste!” She shouted casting the spell on herself, Palutena rapidly slashed at the group of rangers, sending beams of white light, darkness and other elements at the team.

The two teams dodged out of the way barely missing the beams that passed them.

Palutena frowned, too much chance of collateral damage for my taste I guess I must resort to that of all spells.

“I’ll give you to the count of three to stop this foolishness before I shall begin rendering judgment on you.” Palutena warned, “Lay down your arms!”

“Hitotsu!”[one!] Palutena said

The two ranger teams looked at each other, in defensive positions ready for whatever this spell was,

Why does it have an ominous organ theme tune of all things!? Sora complained internally as she looked out for the actual spell.

“Futatsu!” [two!]Palutena’s eyes had gone pure white, she held her right and left hand diagonally opposite to each other her palms facing the one opposite. Her right with her fingers pointed down and her left pointing upwards a ball of white light appeared between her hands.

“What the buck happened to her eyes!?” Sky Gear cried out in surprise

“Mitsu!” [three!]still holding her hands in place twisted them so each hand pointed opposite of where they were originally.

“Koko made da!” [Time’s up!] Particles of light began joining with the orb,

Palutena slammed her hands together as if in prayer closing her eyes, she squashed the ball of light. Beams of light expanded from her hands in all directions pillars of light erupted below the ranger teams.

“Fairy Law… Hatsudo!” [Fairy Law… Activate!] Palutena opened her eyes causing a bell to chime and a magic circle to appear over them, the blinding lights kept going as above in the sky a large white magic circle covered the sky over Ponyville rocking the area as it widened. Which then created a column of light that enlarged with the circle bathing Ponyville in white magic, the sky circle then rapidly collapsed an explosion of light encompassed the rangers, creating a rainbow lense flare as the light left no shadow in the rustic town.

“Commander, why does this light feel so warm and compassionate?”

“It’s called Fairy Law, righteous light that slays the darkness, it slays only what the caster considers an enemy in their heart. It’s a super-magic that is counted as one of the legendary spells of Fairy Tale,”

As the light died down, the area was bleached white and steaming with all save one of the rangers demorphed, shuddering and twitching choking in fear their mouths wide open, their bodies spared the bleached look because of their ranger suits and otherwise remained unharmed.

“Now, that you have learned your lesson, let us retire to Delta base,” Palutena said walking forwards, causing the team to flinch away.

Followed by Cruger and his Dash, much to the confusion of the two ranger teams.

“What just happened,” Sora and Sky said blinking in shock.
