When she came to, she was surrounded by darkness. She rose to her knees and looked around, seeing nothing but a thick black smoke surrounding her. She felt alone, and afraid.

“Where am I?” Rainbow Dash asked slowly rising up, “Hello? Is anyone there…?”

Here… we may talk privately…

“Who's there?!” Rainbow Dash asked shooting to her feet, “I may look soft, but I don't take shit from anyone!”

Your spirit feels like a dragon's…

But first… a test…

Rainbow Dash looked behind her and saw three large golems walking over to her. Her first instinct was screaming for her to run, but something inside stopped her. Instead, she crouched down getting on all fours and glared at the monsters.

You're a dragon now!

Dragons don't run from anyone!

Rainbow Dash charged at the golems screaming in rage. She jumped up and kneed one in the face, knocking it down. She then quickly spun around kicking a second one that was about to approach her. The third one tried to grab her, but she did a perfect split out of the way, and then spun on the ground doing a sweeping move knocking it to the ground.

Rainbow Dash flipped to her feet and spun around, facing the two other golems behind her. They both charged at her at the same time and fought her close quarter, actually beginning to overwhelm her. They both punched forward, making her slide back holding her stomach as she fell to her knees.

Will you give up here…?

Or will you find the power to face them…?

Rainbow Dash looked at the golems with gritted teeth. She had no plans on dying here. She had to beat them so she could get out of this dark space and see Soarin and Fluttershy again.

Fluttershy…!

When she thought of Fluttershy, something within her awakened. She felt a surge of power unlike anything she had ever felt in her life. Around her formed green flames, and her eyes began glowing demonic red.

“I… can't lose!” Rainbow Dash screamed as the energy grew, “I have… to… protect… Fluttershy!”

She screamed out as loudly as she could, causing the green fire to engulf her body, burning away her clothes. Immediately though, she felt a golden chest and shoulder plate form on her body, followed by green body armor and a matching helmet.

Now empowered, Rainbow Dash charged at the golems and fought them more violently, screaming the entire time. Her attacks were more like furious slashes, as her hands were clawed now. Each slash and spin kick left a green streak that showed her power. The fight ended almost too quickly now, as one final spin kick did them in. Once the golems exploded, Rainbow Dash screamed at the sky, almost hearing a beast roar at the same time. As she roared, the helmet vanished, letting her rainbow colored hair flow freely while still in her armor.

Yes… Yes…!

Very good… Rainbow Dash…

Rainbow Dash calmed down, and looked at her hands, taking in her new form. The armor was form fitting, yet still heavy and alien looking, with slightly heeled boots. In the center of the golden chest place was a white crystal.

“What is this?” Rainbow Dash asked, “I feel so… powerful…!”

This is the power of the Morphing Grid…

You are now the Green Power Ranger…

“Power Ranger…?” Rainbow Dash asked.

You found the Power Coin…

The one I salvaged…

The power is now yours… to use as you see fit…

“Wait, you're giving me this?” Rainbow Dash asked the voice, “Why?”

Because you are worthy…

Unleash your rage…

Avatar of Darkness…

“Hold on what? How do you know about-” Rainbow Dash asked, feeling the presence leave, “Hey! What's going on here?! What did you do to me?!”

Rainbow Dash opened her eyes and sat up with a start. She was lying in her and Soarin's bed, and it was now just becoming morning, as the clock said 6:00. She was now wearing a green tank top and white panties, showing that Soarin undressed her before putting her to bed.

“Ugh… what a strange dream…” Rainbow Dash said holding her head, “When did I get home…?”

She sat up and walked into the bathroom. She heard Soarin in the kitchen making breakfast, but she was still too groggy to say hi to him. She shut the door and then carefully turned on the faucet to wash her face.

“Hey, ya up?” she heard Soarin ask, knocking on the door.

“Oh… y-yeah, I'm up… sorta…” Dash muttered, “Sorry I didn't say good morning.”

“It's fine, baby girl,” Soarin said outside, “I'm just happy to see you're okay. You had me worried.”

“Yeah, sorry about that,” Dash said turning the faucet off and wiping her face with a nearby towel, “I don't know what happened. Last thing I remember was-” she looked at her reflection in the mirror, screaming at what she saw. Soarin immediately opened the door and rushed in.

“Dash! Are you okay?!” Soarin cried, “What… happened…?”

Soarin was mesmerized by what he saw. It was still Rainbow Dash, but something was seriously different. Her figure filled out a bit, not over the top but definitely noticeable. Her entire figure was fuller, as it looked like her breasts and butt both got a little bigger, and it looked like she had a bit of an hourglass figure. She also has nice feminine muscles that weren't unattractive, but actually only added to her appeal, and her hair had gotten longer and fuller.

Finally, she had fangs now.

Rainbow Dash looked at Soarin, her eyes wide in shock and fear. Soarin swallowed nervously, not taking her eyes off her. All of a sudden, something within Rainbow Dash awakened. Looking at Soarin, her heart was racing, and her fear was being overridden by something else.

Need.

At the same time, both of them ran into each other and made out violently. Soarin backed Rainbow against a wall, and Rainbow Dash wrapped her arms around Soarin, lifting her leg up and rubbing it against Soarin. It didn't take long for their make-out session to become a quickie, with Rainbow Dash screaming loudly as her climax hit harder than ever.

When they both came down from their climaxes, they looked into each other's eyes breathing heavily.

“Sorry about that,” Soarin said, “Don't know what happened there.”

“Don't apologize,” Rainbow Dash said, “I'm pretty sure I initiated that anyway.”

After the two of them calmed down enough to think rationally, both of them went into the kitchen to talk about yesterday, the green gem lying on the kitchen table between them.

“So… what do you think it is?” Soarin asked.

“No clue,” Rainbow Dash said picking it up and examining it, “It doesn't look like anything I've seen on Earth. More so looks alien or something.”

“Think it's the reason you look so different?” Soarin asked, eyes dropping down to Rainbow Dash's breasts, which were fuller in her tank top now, “Not that I'm complaining, but…”

“Eh, I ain't mad about that at all,” Rainbow Dash said, putting the coin down and once again giving herself a look over, “Honestly, I'm not sure though. That stone might have done something, but I can't imagine how a single stone could have-” she cut herself off, remembering her dream. The voice called this thing a “Power Coin”. Also, that strange armor…

“Dash? Are you okay?” Soarin asked, rubbing Dash's shoulder to get her attention.

“Huh?” Dash asked with a start, “Oh, uh, yeah. I'm fine.”

“You're still you,” Soarin said hugging Rainbow Dash from behind, “No matter what happens on the outside, you're still you on the inside.”

Rainbow Dash turned to face Soarin in the embrace and held him tightly, her eyes still on the green gem.

“I'm gonna keep getting ready for school,” Rainbow Dash pulled out of the embrace and walked back toward the bathroom, throwing off her tank top on the way, “Could you keep an eye on that gem for me?”

“Yeah, sure,” Soarin asked, his eyes shamelessly following Rainbow Dash's ass as she walked back into the bathroom, “Damn, I'm a lucky man,” he said shaking his head. He looked back at the table, only to see that the gemstone was gone.

“What the?” Soarin asked looking around and even under the table, “Where did it go? Did it fall over or something?”

“WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!”

Soarin once again shot up and ran into the bathroom, pushing the door open. He saw Rainbow Dash holding her towel close to her body, looking at the green gem as it rested on the bathroom sink.

“Wait, it was here?” Soarin asked frowning and approaching it.

“I don't know what happened,” Rainbow Dash said, breathing heavily and looking like she was going to cry, “I just came in here, turned my back for a few seconds, and then-”

“Shh, shh, it's okay,” Soarin said holding his girl close as she broke down a bit, “I know you're scared, but it'll be alright.”

“What if this is related to the Darkness though?” Rainbow Dash asked, holding onto Soarin tightly, “What if I'm becoming-”

“I won't let that happen,” Soarin tightened the embrace, “I promise, I'll keep you safe.”

Rainbow Dash said nothing else. She just held her boyfriend and savior for dear life, praying that this new change wasn't the Darkness tightening its grip on her.

Even as her soul cried out for something. Something that terrified her.

School was nice, but Twilight was happy that it was coming to an end. As her final class of the day was science, she used the now vacant lab to get to work on her own personal project. She'd finished the outer casing of the small device and had made the programs, now she just needed to put everything together.

The end result was a silver wristband with a watch in the middle and a few buttons on the side. It was sleek and smooth, making it look almost alien. Twilight put it on her wrist and examined it.

“Moment of truth time,” she said nervously, “This will either work, or it will break me up into my atomic components and scatter me across the planet.” she rose up and put the rest of her books in her backpack. Twilight then walked into the middle of the room and closed her eyes tightly, “Hope this works.”

Twilight pushed the button on the watch and tensed up. A second later, she started glowing and vanished in a bright blue light that shot into the sky. After a few super tense moments of feeling weightless, Twilight felt herself once again take form as the blue light came down onto the surface. She opened an eye slowly and looked around.

She was in the ruined throne room of the old Everfree Castle, right in front of the inner sanctuary that they made their home base.

“I did it!” Twilight cheered, jumping up and down, “I did it! I finished it! It actually works!” she pulled out her cellphone and called Applejack.

“Hello?”

“Guess where I am!” Twilight said excitedly.

“Um… in the computer lab?” Applejack asked slowly.

“Nope!” Twilight chirped, “I'm in Celestia's old castle!”

“H-hold on, what?!” Applejack exclaimed, “But… how?! That's like a twenty minute drive from school?!”

“Oh, the process was simple. Well, not exactly simple, as I had to figure out how to connect to the Morphing Grid myself from a computer first which was not easy let me tell you, but I figured out how to not only connect to the Morphing Grid but can even break down a person's biological make up to-”

“Whoa! Whoa! Twilight!” Applejack called out cutting her off.

“Too much?” Twilight asked cutely.

“Too much,” Applejack said simply.

“Sorry,” Twilight composed herself, “Short version, I've made a means of transportation through the Morphing Grid. With this, we can now get to the castle almost instantly from wherever we are.”

“Holy… you made that?” Applejack asked, “Twilight, that's incredible!”

“I have four more ready, and enough material to make another for whoever our Green Ranger will be,” Twilight said, “I can have them ready by tonight and give them to everyone when we meet for the sleepover.”

“Alright, perfect,” Applejack said, “You can show us all how to use them durin' our Morph Trainin. Good work, Twilight.”

Twilight was beaming. She loved knowing that she did a good job. She wasn't the best fighter on the group, but she was still able to do her part.

“Thank you, Applejack! I'll see you tonight!” she said hanging up. She then took a second to skip happily around the throne room. Celestia was going to be so proud of her.

Just as she was about to go inside and tell Celestia the wonderful news, she heard something outside. It sounded like movement. Frowning, Twilight set her bag down on the throne and walked out of the castle to investigate. They'd started keeping the way to Celestia closed when they weren't there, so no one would find it. That didn't mean they wanted anyone coming around near the place.

As she walked outside, she heard footsteps. Heavy and familiar footsteps.

“Putties?” Twilight whispered to herself. She pressed herself against a tree and peeked out into a clearing. She saw three Putties walking around as if searching for something. She noticed that these Putties looked somewhat different. Not too different, but Twilight noticed that they had tiny green stones glowing on their bodies.

Twilight was about to pace away, but her phone suddenly chimed. She gasped and looked at the number, seeing the name “Dad” appear on the screen.

“Daddy!” Twilight groaned, turning around to see all three Putties walking right up to her. She pouted and answered her phone, “Hello?”

“Twilight, are you okay?”

“I'm fine, Daddy,” Twilight quickly ducked as one of the Putties threw a punch. She then quickly ducked and dodged out of the way as the other two took turns trying to attack her, “W-why do you ask?”

“You just sounded upset. Are you coming home soon?”

“Oh, yeah,” Twilight said, gasping in shock and quickly moving out of the way of another attack, which then hit one of his allies in the face, “I uh, just need to finish up a few things at school.” she was trying so hard not to sound frantic right now. Her father always had the worst timing.

“Well, alright. You're having a sleepover at Applejack's house, right? I could order a few pizzas for you to take with you.”

Twilight was about to tell her father to call her back, but stopped, “Actually, yes. That's an excellent idea,” one Putty threw a punch, but she quickly moved to the side out of the way, and then ducked under another one's attack, which then hit the third in the back, “Um, get the basics. So, pepperoni, sausage, and cheese. Could that work?”

“Okay… pepperoni, sausage, and cheese. There's a special today, so we could get two drinks. What would you want?”

“Uh, hm,” Twilight stood there thinking for a second, and then quickly rolled forward as all three charged toward her, causing them to hit each other, “Lemon Lime Soda, and… Ice Tea.”

“Alright, perfect. It should be here when you get home Twilight.”

“Thanks Daddy. I love you,” Twilight said, seemingly oblivious of the Putty running up behind her.

“I love you too, Twilight. Get home safe.”

“I will, promise,” Twilight said, hanging up. She then closed her eyes, turned to the putty that was running up to her, and then glared at it. She tightened her fists, and let thoughts of her friends empower her. She'd been experimenting with a few of the Morph abilities, and as such had learned how to morph only parts of herself. Perfect, as she only needed one thing.

Right when the Putty was on top of her, she held her hands out. Said hands glowed bright blue, revealing only the armored gauntlets of her full Ranger suit, along with her twin bladed lance which she used to push the putty back.

“Right. Now I can give you my undivided attention,” Twilight said. Channeling what Applejack called her “Inner Amazon”; Twilight pushed the Putty off of her, and then quickly slashed downward with her lance, spinning it around to slash it again.

The second Putty tried to slam its fist down, but Twilight spun around and held up her lance blocking it. She pushed it back, and then spun her lance around over her head before slashing horizontally with her lance, making the Putty fall back.

Twilight looked around, seeing the remaining two circling around her, and the third one rising up. It wasn't that she didn't think she could beat them, but she was still really curious. Why were Putties roaming around again, and what were those green gems?

“Oooh, I wish I'd given the others their communicators!” Twilight fussed, tightening her grip on her lance.

Rainbow Dash had thought about showing Fluttershy the strange stone, but she decided against it. She didn't want to risk Fluttershy asking her anything odd that would force her to have to tell her where she'd been for the last seven years. It was bad enough that so many students were asking questions already concerning her body.

The only reason they weren't together right now was because Fluttershy needed to get something for a sleepover with her friends. It was nice to see that she had people she was comfortable around. She felt bad because it was a private sleepover, but Rainbow Dash told her not to worry about it. She was just happy to know that Fluttershy had friends.

“Are you sure you're okay with it?” Fluttershy asked on Rainbow Dash's phone.

“Yes Fluttershy, I'm fine,” Rainbow Dash laughed, “I got other ways I can entertain myself. Besides, this is something private for you and your group, right? Don't worry about it. Soarin's got a match tonight, so I might just chill with him for the rest of the day.”

“W-well… alright,” Fluttershy said, clearly unconvinced, “As long as you're okay with it.”

“For the last time, yes,” Rainbow Dash stopped in the middle of the forest and pulled out that odd green gem, “You go have fun, okay?”

“Alright,” Fluttershy said, “I'll talk to you later, Rainbow Dash.”

Rainbow Dash smiled, “I'll talk to you later, Fluttershy.” she hung up and then held the phone to her chest, “I love you so much,” she muttered to herself. She put her phone away but then stopped and looked around. She heard something. It sounded like a fight somewhere.

Fight…

Someone was… fighting…

Rainbow Dash screamed and held her head in pain. The green gem in her hands glowed brightly, and she felt something invade her mind. The invasion was painful, and forceful. She felt her will dropping away bit by bit, as something dark and sinister rose up out of her. All the while she held her head screaming in pain and agony.

But then suddenly, the pain stopped. With it gone, came clarity. Everything became clear to her. Everything made sense. There was only one thing that mattered to her in that moment. The fight happening in the forest right now.

“Someone's having a party,” Rainbow Dash said, voice low and silvery, “And they didn't invite me? Looks like I'm going to have to crash that party!”

With a manic grin, Rainbow Dash rushed in the direction of the fight. Win or lose, she didn't care what the outcome was. All she wanted was a great fight.

Twilight fought one of the putties close quarter, knowing full well that he was backing her into his partner. She managed to get a lucky slash in, but before she could retaliate, the third one tackled her in the back knocking her onto the ground and over toward where the second Putty waited.

Twilight rolled onto her back, screamed, and rolled out of the way as the Putty above her slammed its fist onto the ground. She jumped up, but quickly had to block as the second one quickly came in and attacked.

She slashed it back and then rolled away from all of them, keeping all three in front of her, “Shoot! This is harder than I thought it would be!” a sudden cry caught her attention, “Huh? Was that a battle cry?”

She then saw the last person she thought she'd see. She saw Rainbow Dash run into view, jump up, and tackle one of the Putties into another one. She then jumped off it and landed next to Twilight, hunched forward almost on all fours and looking up at the putties with a manic grin.

“Ooooh, these guys look like fun~” Rainbow Dash said with an odd laugh, “Hope you don't mind if I crash the party~”

Twilight frowned a bit looking at Rainbow Dash. She sounded funny, like she wasn't really all there. Twilight shook it off and put her focus back on the three putties before them.

The two that Rainbow Dash attacked charged at her, but she ran off deeper into the forest away from Twilight, leading them off. Twilight then charged at the lone putty, slashing it in a wild yet controlled manner, actually getting through its tough outer shell.

The putty staggered away a bit, but Twilight didn't cease her assault. Instead, she charged in again, continuing to attack it at odd angles preventing it from moving. She was terrible when surrounded, so preferred to fight enemies one on one.

As the putty fell back, she raised her lance and prepared to attack it, but it blocked her slash as it came down. It rose up pushing her back a bit, and then threw her aside. Thankfully, she caught herself with a roll.

She looked to the side and saw Rainbow Dash in between the two putties she was fighting. Both of them threw punch after punch, kick after kick at Rainbow Dash, but the young and wild teen was too fast, ducking and dodging all of their attacks, and even getting in a few of her own, and somehow, her attacks seemed to be hurting them.

How strong is she?

Twilight thought back to what Celestia taught her about killing putties, “Right. The center of the chest!” she turned to Rainbow Dash, “Rainbow Dash! The weakness is in the center of the chest!”

“Center of the chest! Got it!” Rainbow Dash said looking at the putty before her with a truly terrifying grin. She then rushed at it, jumped into the air, and did a double kick to the center of the chest, kicking off the monster and landing perfectly on the ground in front of her other opponent. The putty she kicked twitched a bit and then exploded.

Twilight's eyes widened in amazement at how quickly she killed it, but then had to put her main focus on the putty before her as both of its fists came down on top of her. She held her lance up and managed to push the putty's fists back. She then shoved it back hard and then summoned as much of her inner strength that she could muster up. She then slashed the putty in front of her as hard as she could, creating a blue streak from the attack. The putty fell back and then broke apart just like its friend.

Twilight turned around just in time to see the third and final putty explode, Rainbow Dash standing over it.

Twilight made her lance and gauntlets vanish, and then looked at Rainbow Dash intently. Something about her expression seemed off.

Rainbow Dash turned to look at Twilight, and then began walking toward her. Something about the way she sauntered over to Twilight made the young girl want to run very far away almost.

“That was fun,” Rainbow Dash said, “But, I'm not done yet.”

“Y-you're not?” Twilight asked, slowly backing away from Rainbow Dash.

“Oh no, I could go all day,” Rainbow Dash said, hugging herself and moaning in pleasure, “I don't care who it is, as long as someone satisfies my hunger for blood.”

“I'm… sorry, what?” Twilight asked, cursing her rotten luck internally once she backed up into a tree.

“Looks like you're the only one left,” Rainbow Dash said, now standing over Twilight, “So, think you can satisfy me?”

“I'm straight,” Twilight said quickly, “And I have a big crush on Flash Sentry.”

“Oooh, that's cute,” Rainbow Dash taunted, “But that's not exactly what I had in m-” she cut herself off holding her head in pain.

“R-Rainbow Dash…?” Twilight asked.

“Y-yeah…?” Rainbow Dash looked around confused, “Wait… you're Fluttershy's friend. Twilight, right…?”

Did she not remember what just happened? “That's right. I'm Twilight,” she opted to forgo the whole introduction since they already knew each other, “Rainbow Dash, are you okay?”

“I'm fine,” Rainbow Dash asked looking around a bit, “Why, wouldn't I be?”

“You just seem really confused,” Twilight said, deciding to not dive too deep as it seemed Rainbow Dash had no idea what was going on.

“I… am a bit,” Rainbow Dash frowned, “What was… I doing just now?”

“We were, going to walk out of here together,” Twilight covered, “Don't you remember?”

“No, I don't,” Rainbow Dash said honestly, “W-what, what was…”

“Rainbow Dash, I think you blacked out or something,” Twilight said guiding Rainbow Dash out of the forest, “We should get you home so you can rest.”

“Y-yeah, good idea…” Rainbow Dash said, following Twilight out of the forest. Should she tell the others about this odd encounter? What could she say? And why did Rainbow Dash get so weird just now?

Despite that being Fluttershy's friend, she needed to share this with her and the group. This was super weird.
