Future Earth/Equestria: Canterlot Castle Throne Room, several minutes earlier...

Canterlot Castle, a symbol of grand majesty and it's fair set of rulers, the Royal Princess of the Sun Princess Celestia and the Royal Princess of the Moon, Princess Luna, symbols to all across the land. The throne room, made of the most elegant materials and the most pure white of limestone collected from only the best of the best of rock quarries. The stained glass windows, each made of the most elegantly carved glass made only by the finest glassmakers, each depicting a famous event in Equestria's history, all the way from Nightmare Moon's ascension and subsequent banishment to the moon to the recent coronation of the two newest Alicorn Princesses, both former personal students of Princess Celestia herself, the Princess of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle, and the Princess of Empathy, Sunset Shimmer. Now normally, Princess Celestia was the picture of tranquility and peaceful, motherly care.

Tonight however, she was shaking with rage. One of her former students, Twilight Sparkle had sent a letter to her after making a very disturbing discovery while she was making a trip to see her friend Zecora, an immigrant from the Zebra Countries, to acquire a new potion to work as a cure for some ponies in the Appleloosian Plains who had been bitten by a basilisk's venomous fangs. Princess Celestia still didn't know how one of those foul serpents, who originated from a small island and were created by a chicken laying on a toad's egg originally through a foul ritual by one of the darkest wizards ever to walk Equus, Herpo the Foul, got to Appleloosa, but she intended to find out for herself. And that was what brought Princess Celestia to her current predicament. The letter had stated she had found a human, a HUMAN in her domain! Princess Celestia's first emotion was shock. Last she had checked, humans went extinct some 2,000 odd years ago, give or take the odd century. Then it went right to rage. Humans, the foulest beings ever to walk the face of the planet. It began in the year 3006. A genetic anomaly, or maybe some odd mutation in a pony's genes. But whatever the reason, ponies, almost overnight began to walk on two legs and grow wings and horns. And as for the humans, well... Sure, at first they were nice, welcoming ponies as they evolved to walk on two legs just like them, but then they showed their nasty side, and acceptance soon turned to fear, and then to hate. Ponies were out-casted, hunted down for sport even! Raped, murdered! All because they looked different from them and didn't fit their image of perfection. It was only when the Princesses ascended to Alicornhood that the tide was turned, and humans, the hunters, became the hunted. It wasn't long, after training her subjects to fight, that the Princess of the Sun was able to eliminate the humans. But now, one had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere! And now, Princess Celestia would see to it that she would deal with this threat personally.

"Sister, is something wrong?" Princess Luna, a dark blue furred alicorn, with a starry like mane that seemed to flow in a nonexistent wind, asked to her sister, noticing her trembling with rage. The very air seemed to grow hotter, and Celestia's mane danced like flames.

"Sister... A human has appeared in Equestria. After 2,000 years of peace, one has come back... It seems they weren't as extinct as we thought." Celestia growled. She should have double checked, made sure every last one of those... creatures were hunted down, for her own subjects protection.

"Sister, you are acting irrational. Surely you remember that there were some humans who accepted us, like that Jen woman." Luna replied, trying to calm her sister. Even now, 2,000 years later, she remembered everything. It was said elephants never forgot, but it seemed the same was true for Alicorns, for better or for worse.

"But not enough..." Celestia snarled, and Princess Luna took a step back. This wasn't the kind, caring older sister she knew, and she was actually starting to become afraid of her. The air began to grow hotter still.

"But was that reasoning justifiable in rendering an entire species extinct!?!" Princess Luna snapped back even as a tear slipped from her eye as she watched her sister's dark side come out. If Princess Celestia didn't calm herself, she might very well become the being Luna feared most, the mad tyrant Solar Flare. Princess Luna knew all too well what succumbing to one's dark side did to you. It ripped you apart, and twisted your very soul until there was almost nothing of you left. "They were living beings, just like you and I are, and this human deserves the benefit of the doubt."

But Princess Celestia ignored her and vanished in a pure blinding flash of white light.

"May the Gods protect you fair human, and if Princess Celestia truly intends to kill you, I will make sure I will be standing in her way." Luna thought before vanishing in a dark blue flash of light, leaving the throne room empty.

Everfree Forest, just after Robert was taken away...

Zen-Aku eyed the Princess of Friendship with a wary look upon his muzzle as she dragged Robert off. He stood in the forest thrush, unseen thanks to his black armor and clothing blending in against the darkness, with only his piercing yellow eyes giving away the only hint he was there, although as there were many creatures in the forest who shared this, nopony would be the wiser that he was there, and for right now, that's the way he preferred it.

"By Animus above, I hope this new arrival will have the strength to withstand what's coming, not from just the Orgs, but from the inhabitants of this planet. Otherwise... We're all doomed." He mused to himself before looking towards the sky. "I hope you made the right choice, as a great darkness is coming, and a fifth is needed. And if it comes to that, I will gladly lend my assistance."

With that, he gripped the three solid orbs in his paw, one purple, one dark green and one silver, before vanishing into the shadows...

Now...

Okay, you think I would have gotten used to seeing some pretty weird stuff in my life as a member of Space Patrol Delta, given all the aliens that inhabit Earth, and some of the magical creatures as well, but this is pretty up there in the weird shit-o-meter." Robert mused to himself as he eyed Princess Celestia and her subjects curiously.

"Have no fear, my subjects, I am here to deal with... The Problem." Celestia said as her subjects bowed to her and she gave them her best motherly smile. Robert frowned. He knew what the Princess was doing. Acting like he wasn't in the room, and from the disgusted tone in her voice, along with the slight fear in her eyes when she first looked at him (Although he had to give her credit, she hid it well.), it was a fairly safe guess that she'd had experience with humans before and that experience had not been a good one. For Princess Celestia, she was glad to see her subjects unharmed, and that the filthy ape hadn't hurt them in the slightest. Captain (No, Prince as she had to keep reminding herself.) Shining Armor had made the right choice in restraining him.

"Well, this is a new one." Robert quipped in an intention of lightning the mood. It didn't work. Not in the slightest.

"SILENCE HUMAN!" Celestia roared, using her rarely used Royal Canterlot Voice, and for the first time Robert noted how hot the air had become. It was also a fairly safe guess that due to Celestia's name (Which she had overheard one of the ponies mention) and how angry she seemed to be, that the two were connected in some manner.

"P-Princess, are you sure we can relax? I've heard humans have done nothing but hunt and kill our kind... A-Amongst other things." The orange coated stallion asked nervously.

"Yes, Sunburst." Celestia answered, and Robert mentally jotted the name down to himself. Best to know his fellow Power Rangers, although if they were anything like their ruler, working with them could present a problem in the future. "It shall be dealt with."

"It has a name, you know." Robert deadpanned, and everypony's jaws dropped in shock at the hugely disrespectful tone he was using towards their Princess. "And I for one, would greatly appreciate it if you started talking like I was in the room for once. And might I say, having one of your subjects blast me in the back, dick move. Really, quite the dick move. Personally, I think that's what you are, a dick with wings and a horn. It's clear to me your misanthropy and fear is clouding any judgement you might have."

Now Princess Celestia's jaw was the one to drop in shock. How dare this animal speak back to her in such a manner! Did she not know who he was dealing with? But she quickly regained her composure, and glared fiercely at the human in such a manner that even the ice and snow of the Crystal Empire would melt.

"HOW DARE YOU!?!" Princess Celestia roared once more, her temper finally close to reaching it's upper limits. "DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THE SLIGHTEST IDEA OF WHOM THOU ART SPEAKING TO? I AM PRINCESS CELESTIA, SOL INVINCTUS OF THE SUN, AND THE BRINGER OF YOUR JUDGEMENT!"

"Respect is something you earn, it's not a given thing." Robert responded calmly. "I respect the person, not the title, and to be honest, neither of which seems right now worthy of respect."

Then, it happened. Princess Celestia finally blew up. She didn't shout at him, oh no. What she did, and by doing so causing a chorus of shocked gasps to echo throughout the room was slap him firmly across the face with considerable force indeed. Out of all the things the ponies in the room had been expecting, none of their thoughts were even close to what had just occurred in front of their very eyes. She then charged up her horn and was about to blast Robert into a pile of ashes, she was then restrained by a dark blue magical aura.

"SISTER, WHAT THE TARTARUS DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Princess Luna roared, also in her Royal Canterlot voice as she pulled back her sister away from Robert, and simultaneously removed the handcuffs as well.

"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? I'M REMOVING THIS FILTH FROM EXSISTANCE!" Celestia snarled.

"There's a difference between justice and revenge sister, and I think you've forgotten which is which right now." Princess Luna stated, after taking a few deep breaths to calm herself. At about this time, Shining Armor had entered the rapidly beginning to get crowded room unseen. Although he had read the stories about humans in the history books, he was a firm believer of the saying "Innocent until proven guilty." and so far, this human had done nothing, aside from being a bit rude, which to be fair, if Shining was in his situation he probably would have been a bit ticked off as well.

"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DID THAT LUNA! THAT DANGEROUS PIECE OF FILTH SHOULD BE NOW A PILE OF ASHES AT MY HOOVES, AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO KEEP ME FROM DOING WHAT SHOULD BE DONE! HUMANS KNOW NOTHING BUT OF VIOLENCE AND BLOODSHED!"

"YOU..." Luna had begun to yell once more but calmed herself down again. No need for to get the human on the bad side of both of them, as her sister had already done with herself and her actions. "You have the nerve to call him violent and dangerous when YOU were the one to slap him across the face and were about to turn him into charcoal!"

The Wild Force Rangers, along with Shining and Robert watched the entire exchange like a tennis match. They knew both of the Royal Siblings sometimes had their spats, but this was on a whole new level, unlike anything they'd seen before.

"Fine, I admit what I was doing was letting my temper get the best of me, but it doesn't change the simple fact that all humans are dangerous. And now that one has returned, he presents a threat to us all."

"Just like I did when I returned?" Princess Luna asked bitterly, a tear slipping from her eye. Celestia felt like she had been punched solidly in the gut. As much as she hated to admit it, there were more than a few similarities to the human's arrival and Princess Luna's return. Both have had been treated with nothing less than disrespect in their first few hours of being here, and just like Princess Luna was, the human would probably be treated with disrespect for months to come. Celestia stood in silence, before vanishing in a flash of white light.

"So..." Robert asked nervously. "What will you do with me? Throw me in a dungeon, execute me in public like your sister seems to want?"

"No, Mister... What is your name? I need a proper introduction." Luna requested.

"Robert, Robert Williams. Space Patrol Delta Officer of NewTech City, Earth, which considering the oh-so warm reception I got here, I intend to find the nearest spaceport and get back there as soon as possible, and if possible, have your sister brought up on attempted murder and kidnapping charges. Let's see how she likes a Confinement Card."

Luna said nothing, she didn't have the heart to tell him that there was no way he was getting back to wherever this NewTech City once was, and that he'd been transported to Earth's future from who knew when.

"I... I apologize for my sister's behavior. We've both had bad experiences with humans, but she had worse than me. I'd hoped over the years she'd let that hatred go, but it seems she has not." Luna replied, looking quite ashamed before gesturing to Shining Armor.

"This is Prince Shining Armor of the Crystal Empire. He's the one who restrained you." Luna said, and Shining, who wore golden knight like armor, with purple trimmings walked up to Robert.

"I apologize for the detainment. I was under orders from my sister, the Princess of Friendship." Shining stated in an apologetic tone, and Robert recognized the voice as the military like one he'd heard earlier.

"Remind me to punch her in the face then." Robert grumbled and Shining winced. Great, just what he needed, an officer of the law with a grudge against two Princesses, and from what he'd seen, the sheer balls to face them down without flinching. This was going to cause a lot of paperwork in the foreseeable future, he could tell, and perhaps a few sips of alcohol as well. Just then, everyone heard a loud explosion and all four Wild Force Rangers' Growl Phones rang and the bacon haired mare answered, and if Robert had to guess, she was the team leader.

"I understand, Princess. We'll take him down." Sunset said before turning to the others. "New Org on the loose. Let's go."

"Wait, if you said Org, you might need my help." Robert said, and everyone turned to him in shock.

"How... How can you help?" Lightning Dust asked in disbelief. "You're just a weak and scrawny human!"

Ignoring her, Robert turned to Princess Luna.

"Did you by chance happen to get ahold of a black and white device with two red lights on it saying SPD on it?" Robert inquired, and Shining nodded.

"Yeah, it got handed off to me as we presumed it to be dangerous." Shining admitted before holding out Robert's Morpher, and Robert smirked before taking it in his hands.

"Oh, it's dangerous alright... Just not to you." Robert stated before letting out a shout of "SPD: Emergency!" before that same green energy overtook him and he was transformed, much to everypony's shock and awe, into the Green SPD Ranger.

"Now, are we going to stop gaping like fish, or are we going to play kick the can with an Org?" Robert asked dryly...

(To Be Continued...)

Author's Notes:

Okay, I know I said this story was going on a hiatus, but to be honest I got bored and the only way I found to cure that boredom was to write some more of this. Now, firstly, I want to truly apologize for the portrayal of a xenophobic Princess Celestia in this chapter. I have stated time and time again that I absolutely hate bashing, although for this story to work, like Griffins, Ponies and Taboo Subjects, it had to be done. Still doesn't make it hurt any less though. (Have no fear, she slowly but surely will receive character development, just like everypony else.) Anyways, a large portion of this chapter owes itself to Hawker Hurricane's story One Step Forwards, a Huge Shove Backwards, which I can't link you to as it's M rated, but look the guy and the story up. It's not half bad. Anyways, on other notes, as you can see, Robert's not completely without friends, as he's already got Prince Shining Armor (Our future Magna Defender) and Princess Luna in his corner already, so that's two members of royalty he's got looking out for him, and Zen-Aku as well, who seems to know more about Robert's warp to the future then he's telling, and as you can see, has access to his old Wild Zords as well. Next time, Robert and the Wild Force Rangers team up to fight the Barbed Wire Org... Amongst other happenings.
