Once Shinning armor called out Magna Power green balls of energy come out of the key and fly around him then all fly into him at once training and explosion and when the smoke clears he is in the Magna Defender armor a black and gold armor with a helmet that has resembled a bull's horns.

I look back after hearing the explosion and smirk in my helmet. “Good work now come help me with-“ I’m cut off as the beasts tail slams into me making sparks fly off my suit and knocking me into, a snowbank.

Shining took hold of the Manga Blaster in Sword mode then sent a volley of energy slashes at the monster, forcing it back and severally damaging it giving me some time to get back on my feet. Shining came over to me and helped steady me a bit.

"Thank for the lone, and this thing won't stay down," Shining sneered as the creature was pulling itself together. "That thing has quite a few healing spells woven into it. I didn't know anyone outside Ed and the princesses in this age were able to do this."

I roll my shoulder then aim my gun at the monster and say. “If it heals then we need to destroy it all at once,” I say and just as the monster starts moving again I shoot its eyes blinding it and then I press a button on my sword activating grappling hook mode and swing the blade out like a whip slashing at the monster from a distance.

“This thing is one tough bastard, we may need to take it up a notch!” I retract my blade and push the button on my belt buckle and pull out another key this one the red S.P.D key. “Think you can hold him off while I get suited up?”

"I'll do what I can," Shining remarked as he stepped forward and shifted the Magna later into gun-mode and proceed to fire on the creature holding it back. He was doing just enough damage to keep the beast at bay. He rushed in and turned the blaster back into the Magna sword and in blinding speed to quick for even my visor to pick up laid a flurry of slashes all over the monster. He cut the beats apart and it welled but it merely kept healing itself.

"Let's see how you handle this," Shining said as he jumped back a way then leaps into the air and performs an aerial somersault as he delivers an energized slash against the creature with the Magna Sword. The massive slash collided with the monster cutting it but also burning its flesh. The healing was taking affect but taking longer do to the extra damage that had been dealt.

"I'm... just about... used up hear..." Shining huffed as he landed next to me.

I nod and slide the key into the Morpher in front of me and call out. “SPD Emergency!” And red energy covers me and changes my uniform into the SPD red uniform and then SPD red helmet appears on my head.

“SPD red! Now SPD swat mode!” And with that my suit begins to change even more A vest with the number one appears on my chest along with more armor for my arms and legs and the flashing lights on my helmets extend outward with antenna and microphone coming out, the red 1 on my chest armor flashes red and I call out “ Delta enforcer!”

With that a two-handed blaster appears in red energy and flaps into my arms I aim it at the regenerating monster and pull the trigger firing lots of energy bolts at it hurting it even more. “Now that’s what I call firepower!”

"If I can pin it down for long enough do you think you can crank that thing up another notch and deal enough damage to destroy it for good?" Shining asked as he changed back to normal no longer able to maintain the morph.

“I won’t be able to destroy it but I can contain it inside of a two-dimensional card you’re technically royalty in this world right?” I ask as I summon a confinement card, and pull out the judgment scanner.

"That'll have to do!" Shining raised his voice as he slammed a spiked gauntlet into the ground. I was in utter shock as I saw blue electricity spark form the armor piece and fly under the creature. Huge ice spikes came up and screwed the beast holding in place. Shining fill back on his butt. "That's... all I... got left."

“Alright leave the rest to me.” I walk forward a few steps and hold out the judgment scanner and say. “You’re are charged with attacking royalty and aiding a war criminal!” Then I push the button and The area around me and the monster becomes pitch black as the judgment scanner flashes a green circle and red X back and forth until it settles on the red X. “ Guilty!”

I slide the containment card into the Delta enforcer and aim it at the monster and pull the trigger, it charges up and then fire is a massive blast of energy at the monster just as he is about to break free and hits him and swallows him in a bright flash of light then everything returns to normal and I walk over and pick up the monster that is now contained within a containment card.

“And that’s one victory for us,” I smirk in my helmet as i return to my pirate ranger form. “ Let’s get to the city I’m pretty sure Edward is the only one that can deal with this thing permanently,” I say as I wiggle the card and walk towards the city while looking it over seeing the monster still moving around inside the card.

I walked through the dome shield with Shining on my shoulder and the other rest nearby, "That took you a while," Edward remarked as he helped me with Shining.

I flip him the bird and say. “Yeah well you didn’t have to deal with a monster that can regenerate from being cut into pieces and still be on your first day of displacement,” I say to him then hand Shining over to Applejack but I quickly reach into his pocket and pull out my key and smirk to myself.

"That is very disconcerting," Edward's brow line furrows a bit. "There are only a few creatures that can regenerate from those types of wounds and it still takes them a great deal of time to do so. Were you able to capture it?"

I not and throw the confinement card over to him. “ Courtesy of space patrol delta,” I say then look over the girls and the empire and hum. “Huh it really is made of crystals cool.”

"Hmmm...." Edward gave an angered growl. I look over and in the next moment, the card turns to ash. "This is very bad. He somehow figured out how to use alchemagic." He huffed. "Let's go see Cadance and Rodger, this are for you." Edward held out his hand and in it was a morphing key that looked like an odd pocket watch.

I tilt my head and take it looking over as I follow them. “Interesting did you make this?” I ask as I flip it from figure mode to key mode and back again almost playing with it.

"It wasn't hard after analyzing your earlier morphs, your connection to the morphing grid, and this Magna Defender key you let Shining borrow out there," He held up the Defend Key that I KNOW I put on my belt. "Needed to borrow it for a quick analysis. "He gave it back to me. "Now on to the castle."

"Follow me," Shining said as he got to his feet.

We did as we were told and followed the Unicorn to the crystal castle. Along the way I saw many ponies though their skin tones were more blunt and grayish like the lacked emotions, The colors were also on the softer in of the color spectrum than the bright and darker ones back in Equestria. I could have sworn I heard whispers about the return of someone called the Crimson King. Soon I noticed some of the ponies that were whispering such things weren't as grey or lifeless as the others that weren't talking about this 'Crimson King.'

“Hmmm...” I hum and listen but also look around when I get a chance I walk closer to Edward and say. “Hey I think some of them are remembering you and it’s boosting their spirits hopefully seeing you will be enough of a boost to stop them from remembering you know who also it was never brought up in the show but are there any children in the empire right now or did Sombra....” I trail off as I feel a feeling of danger and take a step away from Edward.

"In all honesty Rodger, I don't know," Edward glared forward. "But there better be?"

We soon arrived at the palace and Shining showed us to the throne room where a very ragged looking Princess of Love sat on the Crystal Throne. She looked absolutely drained and like she was about to pass out at any moment.

As soon as she saw her eyes saw us they came to life with sparkles in them, "Uncle Ed! Twilight! Everypony!" She jumped off the throne and shot to Ed and Twilight and wrapped them both in a big hug. She then looked at Shining as gave a loud gasp when she saw his horn.

"It was Sombra's creature but we got it," He reassured his wife. "How are you feeling?"

"Drained," She huffed. "I don't know know how much longer I can keep spreading the light of love through the Empire and keep the shield up."

"And it'll be much harder now," Shining rubbed his crystal-encrusted horn. "This stuff block my magic."

I cross my arms and say. “Well then if it’s all the same I think I’ll have a look around near the castle while twilight does her test, and before you say anything I’m calm because I have faith in her.” I finish with a thumbs up to twilight, then I turn around and start walking to the doors.

But some catches my attention, something that Edward pulled out of nowhere, a pink glowing stone that's radiating so much magic it's making me nauseous.

"Here Cadance, this is for you," Edward handed over the stone and a wave of magic rushed over us all. "I looked outside to the wavering barrier and it not only stabilized but seemed stronger. I looked at Cadance and she was glowing and had grown a bit while her mane had become ethereal like Celestia and Luna's.

"Uncle Ed, are you sure I'm ready to have it?" Cadance pleaded.

"You're more than ready my little princess, with the Love Stone in your hands you can protect the ponies of Kingdom without the worry of Sombra's influences or his army," Edward placed his hands on her shoulders and gave her a warm smile before giving her a hug. "Now there are things that need to be done," He turned to Twilight and company. "I suggest you all hit the library. Rodger, with me."

I shrugged and flowed my acquaintance to the doors but we were stopped immediately by a small battalion of guards dressed in red shimmering armor. It looked as if the were literally wearing fire when the light bounced off them. I readied myself as I slowly reached for my blaster but Edward looked back at me over his shoulder and gave a slight shake of his head. These weren't just ponies either but from the details, I could make out they ranged from Ponies, griffons, and even a few minotaurs.

The head guard marched up and knelt in front of Edward. "Your highness, the Order of the Crimson Knights welcomes your return to the Empire after all these years."

I relax seeing they work for him and cross my arms and chuckle. “Well, it seems you have an army so I guess you don’t want me around,” I say then walk over at a painting and just look at it but secretly I’m still watching and listening to them.

"Your timing couldn't be better captain, I want most of the Crimson Knights to report for duty immediately. Have them form ranks at the entrance of the Empire's northern gate," Edward ordered.

'This guy was serious, what kind of a life has he had here and to have and his own Order of Knights.'

"No one is to leave the barrier period," Edward continued. "Be ready to mobilize upon ordered. A grand knight known as Polearm is here escorting my niece Twilight Sparkle and her friends. He is a great soldier and one of my personal apprentices and he speaks for me when I'm not here. There is Princess Celestia's adopted son Prince Spike. He may not look it but he is a skilled alchemist in the art of crystal and gem alchemy as well as powerful combatant and mage. They will join you if needed. I want a small platoon here to guard or help out if needed."

"Sir," He stood up and saluted before walked off with the others.

"Shall we," Edward gesture to the hallway.

I realize he knew I was still paying attention and so I turn and follow him still with a relaxed posture. “So got yourself an order of knights, must come in handy when shit hits the fan.” I say trying to keep things for being silent.

"Technically they're all my grandchildren," Edward said outright as we walked.

I trip a bit but keep up. “Damn if I didn’t know any better I’d say we are in a harem universe.” I joke and chuckle, then I look at all the different doors and ask. “Where are we going anyway?”

"There called herds in most of the worlds you'll visit and they usually have up to eight members," Edward explained. "And those are some of the descends of the war orphans me and Luna took in many years ago.

'And now I feel like a dick!'

"I have more out in the world that are a part of the order as well, Polearm is one of them." He pointed. "This way to Sombra old room."

I rub the back of my head. “Sorry about how I said that and is that wise? It’s most likely booby-trapped to explode or something if we aren’t him.” I say now a bit nervous.

"Don't care," He said as he quickened his pace. Soon we arrived a pair of grand iron doors, and I felt powerful magic on them. "KNOCK... KNOCK..." Edward said through teeth as he punched the doors off the hinges into the room.

A specter of a unicorn appeared but Edward wasn't having any of it, as he walked into the room I saw him clutch several shimmering strings and snapped them. I raised an eyebrow and was about to say something while looking at the specter that simply fell apart to nothing,

I blink both confused and in awe then decide to ask. “So um...am I here for any reason besides you don’t want me out of your sight?” I ask as I watch Ed go through bookshelf after bookshelf.

"You're here because of that and the ponies here don't know about the Displaced," Edward scanned the room. "He really did go dark," he shook his head as he'd walked over and picked up a book and looked through it before going over to a nearby bookshelf and turning to look at the floor, tears formed in his eye.

I look closer then when I realize what his apexes are I quickly look away saying. “Shit!” Under my breath, after that, I try to not look at Edward. “So I have some good news, I saved the CMC and Fluttershy on my first hour of being a displaced.”

"Mhmm..." he walked over to the corner of the room and knelt down and touched the floor. I walked over to see exactly what it was that he was actually doing and saw some form of weird magic circle carved into the ground. Edward was rubbing his hand over the etching.

“Find something?” I ask as I lean over him to look too.

"Not really, just remembering the old days I spent with Sombra when he was still a colt." Edward sighed. "He never really knew his father due to certain circumstances and his mother, Princess Amore, let me in the picture to act a role model and teacher but... I ended up more of foster father for the lad, even fell for Amore a bit but I was to set in my marriage and love for Luna at the time and never thought of opening myself up to another woman. I... I didn't think I needed too because to me Luna was enough at the time. I think Sombra resented me a bit for not being in the picture after he grew up. I had other dealings to take care of and was around less and less."

I cross my arms and sigh. “Probably didn’t help that every year the crystal heart would hurt Sombra and the last ruler did nothing about it,” I say thinking of the comic and a few fanfics I’ve read.

Edward slammed his fist into the wall sending several cracks up, "Don't you dare to say anything against Amore!" Edward looked over his shoulder at me and glared in rage as his eye shifted to a red color. "She did everything she could for her son and would have gladly sold her soul for him!"

I look away but say.” If it were me I would have moved him to Equestria where the crystal heart wouldn’t hurt him... and I was talking about the comics version anyway I’m sure your version did what she could.” I say then turn around and walk over to the door and stand by it.

"You need to be a little more careful with your words around me right now Rodger," Edward stood up as he wiped his eyes on his sleeve.

I notice the cracks in the wall were starting to repair themselves.

“Is this place alive too?” I ask as I watch the walls repair themselves.

"No it's just a repair and growth spell combo," Edward placed a hand on the wall and rubbed it. "Amore cast it long ago, I can't believe it still works." He looked at me. "It's funny actually. Me and Sombra found out that if you make a be enough hole to in the crystal to put something in it and leave to let the wall close up around it, the action is a cavity where you," his eyes shot open with a realization. "CAN HIDE STUFF!"

I smirk as I see he got an idea and step out of the room. “I assume your gonna start to smash stuff.”

"We need to get to the throne room," Edward replied immediately.

“Alright, let's go then,” I say then we both sprint to the throne room.

As we entered the throne room Edward began to look around frantically. "Come one where are you?" He said aloud.

"What exactly are you looking for?" I tilted my head.

"Sombra was very full of himself even as a colt he loved to show off what he did," Edward explained. "When he took over the throne from Amore he turned her to obsidian but didn't shatter her. Tia and Lu said she was in the throne room when their assault on this place went do, and the smashed this place up pretty good knowing them. Do you a key that x-rays things? I don't want to smash anything blindly."

I shake my head I sigh. “Sorry Edward I don’t have anything like that, hmm” I look around the room trying to think like Sombra that’s with my eyes light up and I turn to the throne. “What about inside the throne is it different than the original ruler's?”

"No, it all looks like it did when Amore was in charge," Edward crossed his arms. "Damn it, I know she's still here but where? I can go nuts and tear this place apart without damaging the tower and the protective field."

Twilight on the others then came in babbling amongst themselves.'

I listen to what the girls are talking about while thinking of where Sombra could hide a statue then I turn to Edward. “Well that’s just it if I remember correctly this,” I wave my arms around the clean sparking throne room. “Isn’t his throne room right?”

"Should you all be out helping in the fair," Edward looked at the ponies causing them to shut up.

"We were but then we kinda got... ah... sidetracked," Rainbow answered.

"We found out from one of the ponies that the Crystal Heart wasn't just another showpiece but an artifact used to help strengthen the barrier," Twilight looked at Edward. "We came in here to look for where King Sombra may have hidden it. I remembered your advice 'look for the truth when the truth.' Alchemists hide their research in plain sight."

"So we came here but then we heard you say it's the same as when Sombra took over," Spike added.

"Wait, what is that you said again?" Polearm pointed at me.

I look to Edward quickly but figure that they have already Easter together themselves and just need the final piece so I say. “ I said that this isn’t Sandra’s throne room I mean look at how shiny and sparkly it is. Do you really think someone who is evil would want their throne room to be all sparkly and shiny and pretty,” I say in a way that makes it sound like I am not sure if I’m right even though I know I am.

"Sombra did fall to corruption but Dark Magic is widely used and encouraged here, "Shining Armor cut in as he entered the room. "The room was a wreck when found it, crystal everywhere."

"What is that you're looking for?" Cadance asked.

"Anything that might lead us to the Crystal Heart," Spike said.

"What Rodger said is right, this place is to nice for an evil king," A beam of dark magic shot from Twilight horn at the throne and her eyes started to change. "Nah... this feeling is... disgusting!" She cried as Polearm braced her. Soon the room changed to be much darker and evil lair looking with a massive trap door in the middle of the room. Twilight shut off her magic and grabbed her head. "Gross, but it worked."

I saw Edward knelt down on the floor again. Curious I walked over and saw the state of a larger unicorn woman reaching out with a look of horror plaster on her face.

I smirk and pat his back. “Yet another victory for you now they just need to deal with Sombra then fix her and everything will be sunshine and rainbows...well.. tell the next ancient evil arises.” I step forward and rolled my neck.

I look down the hole and say. “So Edward what’s the plan want me to go with Twilight?”

Edward raised both his hands above his head and slammed them down on the floor at the base of the statue. He continued to beat on the floor until the cracks extended outward from it. One final blow was dealt with his right hand shattering the floor into pieces he quickly rushed over and brushed the shards of crystal away from Amore. He pulled her out of placed her next to the hole and the others stood there in shock looking at the former Princess of Crystal.

I tilt my head as a thought hit me. “Hey, Edward...what is she gonna be doing once she is freed? I mean...the kingdom in just about every timeline belongs to Princess me Amore cadenza so...” I trail off at the looks I’m getting from everyone.

Cadance came over and looked at her ancestor. "She looks kind of like me. Who she Uncle?"

"She's a distant relative of yours Cadance," I saw a rear roll down Ed's cheek as he placed a hand on Amore's cheek. "She'll do what she wants. I want her to come back to Canterlot but I won't stop if she chooses to stay here. She was grooming Sombra to take over for her before the... corruption set in." He walked over next to me, "Keep the timeline crap down. Only Tia and Lu know about future events."

I give Edward a nod and walk over to a window and look out giving him and the others time to talk I try to watch the edge of the city seeing a few red dots moving around I assume they are his knights at work.

Shining Armor came up next to me, "They're not as strong as the elite guard back home or Twilight and her friends but they are very well trained." I noticed him look at me slightly "I've been wonder something? When you lent me that Key it gave me all the knowledge of morphing. It's so taxing to stay morphed even for a little while. Why is that you can stay morphed all the time and Why do you?"

“Well Shining, it was most likely more taxing on you because you aren’t fully bonded with the Morphing grid, but to answer your other question, I don’t think I can power down while I’m in Edward’s world.” I look at him and rub the side of my helmet.

“I can’t even remove my helmet while I’m here, something similar happened to another ranger when he traveled to another universe so I suspect that the Morphing Grid protects rangers by keeping them morphed when they travel to other universes that aren't their own.” I then look down at myself and rub my stomach.

“Honestly I’m hoping that we can deal with Sombra soon and that he will let me try to summon my ship I have a theory that I might be able to power down while I’m on board my ship.” After I finish my sentence my stomach growls loud enough even the girls can ear it.

"If ya were hungry ya should of said something sooner," Applejack cut in. "The fair has plenty of treats."

"Aj, we don't have time," Rainbow abruptly said. "There is an army out there and these ponies are gonna need to stay happy if we have any chance of kicking Sombra's butt."

"Rainbow is right," Edward turned to us.

"I am? ... I mean, of course, I am, cause I'm just that awesome," She snorted as puffs of steam came from her nose.

"You five get back to that fair," Edward order five of the mane Six. "My knights will help when needed. Twilight you get that flank down that hole and find the heart. Cadance, you maintain that barrier," He turned to me Shining, Pole, and Spike. "You three are with me." He pointed at us and then himself.

I walk up to Edward and lean in and whisper into his ear. “Won’t she need Spike to break free of the trap?” Then I look over at this spike getting a look at him.

I then look over to applejack and say. “Also applejack I can't remove my helmet while I’m in Edward’s world.”

"Twilight," Edward said, causing the mare to stare. "Come here."

"What's wrong Ed?" She asked as she walked over.

Edward placed his hands on Twilight's shoulder. "You are one of the bright and most powerful unicorns of your age and the best alchemist second on to King Sombra and Starswirl. You've studied and trained both mentally and physically every day since you became my apprentice. Though you still have a long way to go before becoming a true Alchmage, it is time you started on that road." Twilight's eyes lite up and were as big as dinner plates while her mouth was agape. "I know you're ready, so make me proud."

She shook her head vigorously while the others stood in awe.

'This stuff must be a big deal if everyone here knows about it.'

"You four," Edward stepped in front of me, Spike, Polearm, and Shining Armor. "We're heading out." Edward turned to the door and walked off.

I give Twilight a thumbs up before running after Edward and the others, once I catch to me I ask. “Ok, so I’m gonna take a wild guess that the 5 of us are gonna play distraction with smoke eyes?”

"Something like that kid," Polearm chuckled

"Sombra knows I'm here," Edward cut in. "He's after me first and foremost. He's added alchemagic yo his skill list somehow, probably some research I left behind without realizing it, to that he stole while I wasn't paying attention. Long story short, yes we keep his focus off the Empire and on me. The secondary objective is that crystal army and seeing as how it's probably made of magic nullifying crystal there's only one weapon we have that can fight it and that's you four as it is you four that the most powerful have alchemy."

I nod a bit but then tilt my head. “But I don’t have alchemy Edward,” I tell him as we get to the bottom of the stairs to the ground floor and I sigh and look back. “Geez, what’s with this place and stairs?”

"You're a dumbass if you said that after a little walk like that," Pole snarked. "Think of what Twilight is gonna have to walk down back in the throne room."

We walked through the streets of the Empire and I noticed a lot more of the ponies were colorful, cheerful, and active. Many of them were bowing to Edward as we walked by.

'Is he some kind of hero or something?'

"I know that look," Shining snickered. "Ed was once the Minos King and ender of the Minos Wars nearly three thousand years ago. Though he doesn't like the part of how he got to be the king he is hailed as both a hero and a monster for both events. Though purely a hero to the ponies but also a great king and bedtime story you tell to misbehaved calves at night."

I turn to Shining and say. “Damn that is cool but messed up, I was told he was a king but I didn’t know he was this popular.” I then look to the other guy and say. “Oh, I know exactly what she has to go through I was just making a small joke to lighten the mood.”

Lastly, I turn to Edward and speak up. “Edward is there a way to can block what’s happening outside the shield from sight so I can summon my ship? If I can use its cannons on the,” I look around then change what I was gonna say. “Snow out there it will make our job easier.”

"A big ass red train was already too much and now I have my entire order of knights for the whole Empire assembling at the main gate of the Empire," Edward raised his hands. "I'm already causing a panic if you can't tell. I don't need a giant red pirate ship robot there as well. Our forces will just have to do."

“Fine fine geez, I’m just trying to think of ways I can help end this quickly increase you didn’t know I haven’t eaten all day and have been fighting most of that time with two naps between them,” I tell him and cross my arms walking forward faster and summoning Edwards key he made and look at it wondering if it would even work.

We soon arrived at eh northgate that we'd come through and man there was a lot of red armored guys and girls out here. Edward found the Knight captain from before and he knelt down.

"Majesty," the captain said with vigor. "It is pleasure to serve you as the original Crimson Knights did so long ago grandfather." I could tell the word, 'grandfather', kind of bothered the alchemist from the way he sighed.

"Have the troops from ranks, I will address them soon," Edward waved off the captain who saluted and went back to what he was doing. Edward then turned to us and he looked at me. "You know you don't have to be here Rodger. This is my fight and you were sent to this world by accident. I can send you home now," he noticed the key in my hand. "If your worried about using the key then don't use it."

I look to the key then back to Edward. “ I’m a bit cautious of using it but it looks like it should work and you seem very powerful so I trust it will work fine though I can test it right now if you want.” I tell him and hold out my other hand summoning my morpher.

"Test it if you want to my young friend but be up front in a few moments," Edward shrugged. "I've got to address the knights and I want you up there with the others." Edward patted my shoulder and walked off leaving me with my thoughts.

I watch Edward walk off then look down to the key and nod flipping it to key mode and hold both it and my morpher up and feel a small voice in my head tell me what I need to say. “ Equivalent exchange!” I slide the key into my morpher in front of me and turn it and then transmutation circle appears at my feet and slowly starts to rise over me and my suit is changed through alchemy into a black and red metallic armor with golden crystal diagonal across the chest and the black parts around the joints and the helmet looks like a monsters face with sharp teeth for the mouth guard, the oroborus symbol appears behind me while I raise my right hand in a fist with red light attracted to it from the symbol.

Edward was in front of his knight with Shining, Spike and Polearm standing in line just behind him, so I decided to get in line next tho Shining. The guys were all wearing different style armor similar to the Crimson Knights but in different color schemes. At his side was scimitar of all things.

Shining was wearing a gold set similar to the one from the series but it seemed a bet bulkier, then again he was in pretty good shape from what I saw from our battle with that creature. He was definitely stronger than an earth pony with there natural magic.

Polearm sported the exact same armor of the knights but as a red and black variation while on his back was a naginata. He also w had a good build and no doubt he was strong as he was an earth pony. Spike was wearing a purple and green set of armor but his was less restricting. He didn't have a weapon except for a set of claw like gloves and a few daggers at his belt. I then notice a few different spools on his back belt.

Edward started to speak so I turned my attention back to the front.

"My children, the day has come for you to see the battle field as you forefathers had once prepared to do. I do not ask you to fight for me and you may go home now if you wish but I ask that you stay here for the families of the Empire and for this family you have next to you at this moment," Edward said proudly. "The world has changed in the time you were under Sombra's curse and I WISH i could've broken it but I couldn't there for I to was cursed to be in stone. I was not there for you, my family when you needed, but I am here now and will be for many more of your grandmothers beloved moon to cross the sky. I am proud of you all and proud too call you my knights and my children. Today we face the army of the King who usurped the throne from the Beloved Princess Amore. This battle will battle will be long and hard, some may fall but it must be fought for the sake of your home and for kin. Let us stand as not only as brothers in arms but as a family for the Empire," He yelled throwing a fist in the air and the knights started to beat there weapons on the ground or against there shields or bows in rhythm and slowly died down.

"Behind me are top class fighters and family. My nephew and your new crone prince, Prince Shining Armor," Edward stepped to the side and Shining stepped forward and stuck out his chest. "Next wee have one of our own from Canterlot, Grand Knight Polearm Aries," Pole stepped up and slammed his right arm on his chest and the knights did the same. "On the end we have the adopted son of Princess Celestia, crown prince of Equestria, and one of my apprentices, Prince Spike Solaris Everfree," Spike stepped forward and slammed his fist together and took a deep bow and the knights mimicked.

"And last but not least we have me personal friend Captain Rodger the Red Devil," Edward motioned to me.

'Captain Rodger the Red Devil!'

I watch Edward as he gives his speech and see those ponies ready to do anything and rush to their death, then I stand tall when Edward named me so I decide if I’m going down I’m taking you down with.

"Every creature form ranks, and prepare to move out!" Edward demanded and we hear the guard thump and move like a well oiled machine. Edward came over to us. "Sorry about the name Rodger. I had to come up with something as I can't exactly say 'HEY HE'S A DISPLACED'."

I nod and shrug. “Hey I understand some things are hard to explain to them.” I then crack my knuckles and grin and my faceplate changes to be grinning. “Let’s go kick some ass I feel amazing right now."

We walked with Edward to the front of the knights just inside the barrier. He pointed to the Army in the distance and I noticed it was much closer than when we'd first'd arrived here in the Empire. I also saw hat there were nearly five time as many of them as the Knights.

"We can't let them get with striking distance," Edward said. "If enough of those crystal creatures get here they'll easily over whelm the Empire as they're made of magic nullifying crystal. The can pass through the barrier with ease and can cancel it out if enough go through at one time."

"We need more soldiers," Shining cut in. "These guys are will trained but they're nowhere near our level of strength. Even if we had Cadance's elite Love guards here we'd still fair just a bit better than we would with just them."

"Don't worrying Shining," Spike said cracking his neck.

"Yea, Ed's got that covered," Polearm smirked.

"Wood Style: Wood Clones," Edward said as he made hand signs. Suddenly wooden timbers erupted from him and formed into twenty identical copies of the himself. "MULTI-SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" They all yelled and in puffs of white smoke more Edwards appeared, an entire army of them.

My eyes widen making the eyes of the helmet widen then I grin and chuckle. “That is damn cool Edward I want to learn that trick now then can we start I think this form has increased my aggression I’m barely holding myself back.” I say as I look out at the army and my hands start clenching and unclenching.

"In one more minute," Edward looked at me.

I raised an eyebrow under my helmet, "Come on they're right there!" I pointed.

"Wait." Edward said calmly. I saw his shadow grow extremely wide and soon blacken Edwards emerged from it. I then heard a slight humming behind me. Turning to look I saw several silver rippling portals and then weapons shot out of them into the shadow. The black Edward took hold of the weapons and readied to fight. "I cal this move, Seven Nations Army: Take All." He remarked as the all the Edwards readied themselves. "My clones will be the first wave, then you guys go in with the knights. I'll take care of the big stuff, he pointed to the giants and other large creatures."

“Fine just hurry I feel a deep need to fight right now I think it’s something with this form.” I say my voice deeper and the red parts glow brighter and my hands start turning into claws.

"Don't let those urges drive your action Rodger or you could lose yourself and go berserk," Edward motioned his hand sending his clones ahead. "The form you're in resembles my true form and I'm easily influenced be negativity and baser emotion while in it which means you're prone to it."

I nod my head but start to growl a bit watching the army. “I can feel it Edward and I think we are linked more then you think.” I look at my hands and Then clap them together and blue electricity sparks around me and I touch the ground and make a small tower of ice only a foot tall then look to Ed. “I didn’t know that would work.”

"You'd be surprised what works when you put your mind in it," Ed said punching the air causing it to shatter like glass. He reached into the now open space and pulled out a red serrated dual-edged sword with a flaming bird shaped cross guard and the pommel was a large four directional facing skull with a ruby on top of it.

I tilt my head and look the sword over then turn back to army and see the clones already fighting. “If you can do anything I have a request you can consider it payment for helping in this fight,” my voice growls out and then I look at Edward. “Make my normal sword able to cut holes in reality to places I or anyone touching it know of and have been to.”

I then roll my neck and explain why I want it. “Earth still exists where I’m from and it’s currently taking over by the evil alliance, I want to go there and help any living rangers left there.” I watch Edward for any kind of reaction.

"A reality slash," Edward tiled his head. "A simple enough task," he turned the sword horizontally and placed both hand on the grip. The weapon pulsed and the blade began to look like a galaxy. Edward tightened his grip on his weapon then jumped up and swung the sword, "Meido Surasshu!" he called out send a slash of galactic energy outward into the oncoming army. The slash literally swallowed whatever it hit leaving nothing behind. Luckily he jumped up to miss his clones. "Kind of like that?" Edward landed next to me with his blade on his shoulder.

“Kind of, what I’m thinking is,” I clap my hands and make a rough ice copy of my gokaiger sword and hold it. “Make it so when I think of a location and swing my sword like this,” I swing it in front of me in a downward ark. “A portal opens when I cut but doesn’t move.”

"Like the the Golden Tiger Claws from Xiaolin Showdown," Edward remarked. "Like I said ease enough to do," He held up his hand and a Gokaiger sword appears above his palm. "Courtesy Arc of Embodiment."

I am shocked and growl in annoyance but it comes out much deeper. “How did you steal my sword?” I shake my head and hold it. “Sorry I know you didn’t steal it but...I guess I’m also getting a bit of personality with this form I shouldn’t use it too much.”

"Think nothing of it kid," Edward hands me the weapon. "And you're right. Don't use it to much. Now," He stepped forward, "Fight time," he vanished in a wisp of snow and then I heard a loud boom in front of me. I saw saw the giants in the distance started to fall to pieces after large craters appeared on their bodies.

I grin and lift my sword. “Charge!” Then I run out into the tundra and use the sword to cut right through the first golem then I kick the next one into a group but then more of them jump onto me clawing at me making sparks fly off my suit.

"Let's take on some giants," I raised and eyebrow and then saw Edward become cloaked in a fiery red aura that soon from into a large skeleton. Then muscle fibers started to cover it and Edward rose into the are as the skeleton formed legs. Edward was now

Sombra stood on the cliff overlooking the battle taking place between his crystal Army and the Crimson Knights and the leaders, his former teacher Edward Elric. In bubbles of shadow behind him floated the celestial sisters, Nyx, and the Twin Star alicorn children of Luna and Edward.

Sombra snickered, "It would seem that my information my network provided me on my former mentor was quite off," He looked down as the clones of Edward fought his forces fearlessly. "He's much more powerful than I was told. Those clones of his are many, many more than what I thought he could produce at one time. No matter though he will tire and they well fade or be taken down. Those knights are a problem though. I didn't realize they were still so loyal to their alleged grandfather. " His attention shifted to the for that had led the charge of the knights. "Those four are the biggest issue outside Edward. The can all use transmutation and have strength comparable to that of Edward himself. That unicorn shouldn't have the much physical power after having his magic sealed though."

Sombra scowled as he looked down then heard a boom and looked out to see on of his giants had a huge crater in it before it falls to pieces.

"How?" he sneered as he forms a telescope and looked out to see Edward rushed with immense speed. "That bastard has enough power to shatter my giant golems? Impossible? He can't use magic to strengthen himself with this many of my soldiers around to absorb the ambient magic of the area."

I grin and lift my sword. “Charge!” Then I run out into the tundra and use the sword to cut right through the first golem then I kick the next one into a group but then more of them jump onto me clawing at me making sparks fly off my suit.

I roar out and the red parts of my suit glow brighter as I throw my arms out knocking them off me and I start fighting them hand to hand, I punch one hard enough it cracks then I kick another knocking it into two more those three brake and I glare at the closest and want to grab it and a shadow whip forms in my hand and I swing it and cut the golem in half.

Shining runs over to me and puts a hand on my shoulder I almost punch him but stop myself in time. "You need to get it under control. I know Ed's dark impulses are influencing you but we're in the middle of a battle with allies around. Focus or change forms if you can't. Get it under control!"

I nod and rub my helmet. “Yeah sorry, your right as powerful as this form is it’s too uncomfortable.” I change back to my base form and reach for my buckle. “Thanks shining, now let’s try this one out.” I pull out the blue samurai ranger key and get ready to morph.

Suddenly a crystal paladin charges in. It brings its halberd done knocking me and Shining back it locks on to me and rushes in but before it can reach me it falls into layered pieces in the snow. I looked on in shock and see a very fine set of shimmering threads in the air and trace the to a certain young drake.

"Ya need to pay closer attention on the battlefield with so many enemies about, Red Devil," Spike commented as he retracts his string. "Diamond thread slices through anything when pulled tight."

I roll my eyes and nod to Spike. “Thanks for the save kid remind me to tell Ed to buy you a comic.” I then use the key to morph. “Go go Samurai!” A Japanese character is drawn in front of me then it spins and flys up and falls onto me then thousands of the same symbol spin around my feet and traveled up my body changing me to the blue Samurai Ranger I pull out the sword and hold out a hand and a new belt buckle appears in my hand. “Just buy me a few minutes and I’ll be able to slide through them easily.”

"I'll do one better," Spike smirked as to paladins came on him. He places either hand on the enemies and in a flash of purple they fill to dust. "I specialize in Mineral, Jewel, and gemstone transmutation." He remarked holding up his gloves to reveal special alchemy circles. "Taking these things apart is nothing. " Strings shot from his fingertips and then his pulled them tight slicing multiple opponents to pieces.

“Ok that is impressive any way you could transmute the entire army all at once?” I ask him As I summon a black box and put it onto my sword and call out. “Super samurai mode!” And press a button a beam of light shoots into the air then forms a white sleeveless trench coat that then appears onto me posting my power even more.

“Alright let's do this!” I run forward and swing my sword and I slice through a group of them and I make my way through them cutting each one that gets too close down but when some stronger ones surround me I summon a disk and slide it onto my sword. “One chance leave or I will destroy you all.” I put my hand on the disk ready to spin it.

Shining punches the paladins transmuting them into pieces in the process. "They're golems, they won't stop unless the leader is stopped." He explains smashing more of the enemy forces.

I smirk in my helmet and spin the disk calling out. “Shogun Mode! Power of the Ancestors!” Blue energy swirls around me extremely fast and went to clears I am now wearing more powerful armor and look like a shogun. “Time to make a opening.”

I walk forward and take my sword and slash cutting through a large number of the golems making an opening for Spike, Shining, and Polearm. “Let’s move! I can’t keep this form going for long!”

A sudden whirlwind blew through tearing down the paladins as it. I saw it throw a spear nailing a wyvern bringing it down with a single blow. The snow cleared to reveal Polearm. "Man it feels good to fight at full strength for once." He smirked as he put his hand on the ground transmuting several pole weapons for downed paladins. "Come on guys," he remarked and threw more spears taking down several enemies.

'What kind of hell did this guy go through to get that strong!'

I take a step but fall to a knee and am forced to power down to my base form. “D-damn it that power is too much for me.” I look up at the golems running at me and fire my gun at them cracking them.
"Get up!" the guys said in unison.

"Ed trusted you with a sliver of his true power for a reason," Shining punished some of the golems to pieces and the transmuted them into projectiles at more golems.

"Shows what a Displaced can really do captain," Polearm sliced paladins apart with his naginata.

"Ed has faith you and so do we," Spike remarked as he wove hos threads. "He put his knights, his grandchildren, under you be because he trusts you to lead them. So on your feet."

I chuckle softly and stand back up and pant a bit then grip my sword and gun tighter. “Yeah I know all that and one thing about a power ranger,” I run towards a group of golems and blast the first three then front flip over them and swing my sword under their feet opening a portal and the fallthrough and reappear miles into the sky and crash onto another group near Spike. “We never give up!”

"Class," Sombra snarled.

"Yes, master," Came a silent voice from behind Sombra as a pair of slit red eyes appeared.

"Target those four that led the changes forms specifically," Sombra looked out as more of his against fell to the ground. "He will be a problem, if left unchecked. But a sit stands he is already fatigued and the easiest to handle."

"As you command master," the eyes snickered with silent joy then vanished.

I look around me as more golems surround me i grit my teeth and swing my sword at the first one but get hit from behind knocking me into three more I grunt in pain as they start to beat me but I push my gun in one of their chests and fire braking that one then swing my sword around cutting into their chests. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to destroy them I look down and swing my sword making a portal and fall through and end up in the air above them and pull out another key.

“Time to use a classic, it’s morphin time, Tyrannosaurus!” I put the key in and turn it changing into the red mighty morphin power ranger in a surge of red electricity, then I summon the power sword and front flip and land cutting two golems in half.

"kekeke..." came a wicked came a sinister cackle. "You can easily take down magic nullifying golems, even in your weakened state. Kekeke..." the voice mocked me. "My master wants you did. How though he left that up to me!"

I look around me till I spot a snake like Chimera I turn to face him this one is much smarter and seems to resemble a naga with a pony like head with reptilian eyes but scales instead of fur and I can see two sharp fangs poking out of his mouth, he also has a muscular upper body and a long snake tail with no legs. “Oh yeah? Well once I’m done with you your boss is next.”

I change back to my pirate form and aim my gun at him while tightening my grip on my sword, then he struck moving extremely fast I fire but miss and he uses clawed hands to cut across my chest sending me flying and sparks fly from my chest once I land in the snow and groan. ‘Great he is super fast guess I’ll have to change again.’ I think to myself as I reach for my belt.

"Your the one who captured Brutus," cackled the snake cackled as he readied to start. "He wasn't all that smart but he had his uses. Tell me what did you do to him. My name is Class be the way."

I get up after I pull the key out of my belt buckle and hide the key in my fist. “I destroyed him completely turned him to ash.” I say in a hope to piss him off so he will make mistakes then I summon my morpher in my free hand.

"Oh no, we can't have that now can we," Class snickers as he shot forward and coiled around me immobilizing me. "I take it that this little weird thing is how you change. Well, can't let that happen," Class hissed as he took my morpher and three across the battlefield out of sight. "There, now I can kill you in with ease."

I struggle and growl getting my arms closer and hidden in his coils then summon my morpher back and slide the key in. “You think you can kill a ninja?” I smile and turn the key while coaling out. “Ninja stores ranger form!”

Blue energy covers me and forces his coils off and makes a small tornado around me as I change into the blue ninja storm ranger and before he could grab me again I sink into the snow. ‘Time to play dirty.’ I move around in the snow using my water ninja powers then fly up out of it behind him and cut his back with my sword.

"Got ya!" I smirked under my helmet as I saw Class hit the snow covered ground with a thud.

"KEKEKEKE!" The chimera laugh from his spot when as his twas suddenly found itself wrapped around my ankle. He stared to fling me about. "You think that little tooth pick can break through my scales than you need more schooling what ever you are! I know," He let go only to wrapped his tail around my neck.

I dropped sword as I clutched at the tail gasping for air. I sneered at he cackling reptile. I was just to worn out from the Alchemy Ranger key. It took help from Shining using a key last time to beat one of these monsters. I didn't have the to take it on alone right now and I was to far from the knights and the guys. Hell, I couldn't even call for help right now.

"What's wrong no come back,"Class snickered. "Kekeke..." he picked up my sword and looked it over. "How about I keep it after I run you through with it. KEKEKE..." He reeled his arm back on pointed the tip of the weapon at my chest.

My eyes widen and I struggle more then get a idea and move my hand close to his face and summon my sonic fin a blue megaphone shaped like a Dolphins tail fin once it appears I bless him in the face point blank range for a sonic blast, the blast is also loud enough that I get spikes attention and he sees my situation.

"You bastard!" Class snarls as he shakes his head his tail still wrapped around my throat. "I'm going to enjoy swallowing you!" He squeezed harder.

"Not on your live lizard lip!" i heard Spike voice from behind Class. "Amethyst Dragon fist!" I fill to the ground as Class yelled out in pain. I looked up to see the chimera a light with purple flames. "You okay?" Spike asked as he pulled me to my feet.

"Now I am..." i wheezed out. "Thanks. How'd you do that?"

"That my Dragon Slayer magic, as much as I could muster after chomping a few gems down anyways," Spike huffed."All these golems around I'm surprised I could use that much power. Don't ask if I can do it again cause I can't."

"I'll devour you both!" Class snarled at us finally having put the flames out.

I look down at the snow and get a idea and whisper to spike. “Can you still use your normal flame or even better use alchemy to turn a lot of this snow to water?” I ask before I blast my sonic fin at class again to keep him stunned.

"I can do the latter," Spike threw his hands out and purple electricity flashed turning the snow into steaming water. "I heated it so it won't freeze but it won't last long."

Edward watch for atop a smashed giant. "Come on you two, I need a lead to Sombra an you can give it to me." A silver ripple appeared next to him. "This will help and may give our ranger some more transformations." Edward walked over and pulled the massive sword from his vault reeled back and threw it to Spike and me.

I nod to spike and then quickly make a hand sigh and call out. “Power of water!” And make the water cover class as much as I can but leave a bit leading to spike hoping he gets the idea then I see the wild sword stab into the ground in front of me I look over to see Edward and nod then make a opening in the water around class’s chest.

Spike threw out some of his diamond strings and wrapped them around Class pulling them tight and with another flash of purple turned the water to ice. "I can't hold this long, This thing is really... strong!" Spike gritted his teeth as Class tried to free himself.

"(Make this change sorry )

“You won’t have to,” I summon my morpher and the alchemist ranger key and slide it in and morph into that form. “ Equivalent exchange!” Once I’m changed and feel a surge of power and anger letting out a huge roar that gets everyone’s attention then I look at spike growling heavy. “If I lose control either knock me out or get Edward.” Then I walk forward and grab the sword pulling it out of the snow barely noticing five keys appear around it then fall into the snow, then I growl at class sending energy into the sword it starts glowing as I lift it over my shoulder. “ Savage alchemic SLASH!” I roar and swing the sword horizontally sending a red energy slash towards class and it cuts right through his chest and keeps going slashing a squads worth of the golem army in half.

I let out another roar and look around for another target seeing only red.̴̢̳̮̗̠͇̝͓̎̉̄̈͛͜͝͝“̴̮͕͕̱̤͉̺́̓̂̈́M̶̲̪̪͓̦̼̍̏̅͠ŭ̶͖̥͎̝ś̶̡͇̭͈̜̼̤̗̝̍̆̀̃͂̕͝t̴̡̻̳̠͉̥̔̋̀̕͝͠͝ ̶͚̦̭̗̗̼̬̈c̶̻͙͚̹̬̅̑̔͆̂r̸̠͍̾̓͋̔ų̸͓̃̃ś̷̢̞̹̰͈̠̳̰͇͋͐͒̈̆͌͘̚͝h̷̗̟͍̯̺͐̈́̂̾̆̈́̏͠,̶̻̒ ̸͓̀̇͑̂̏̒̿͠m̴̮̬̭̼̥̑̇u̵̧͖̭̠̗̗̠̻̬͆̈́̃̀̔͑̎̋š̵͍̤̬̿̽͆̿̀̉͘͝t̷͎̪̣̿͂̎̉̓͌͋͜͝ ̴̺̼̮̣͈͇̿̏̐͝͝͝ș̶̛͐͒̓̌͋m̶̜̝̫̐̑̐́͊̏͗̂a̶̢͍͙̲̭̰̝̮͓͂̋͒͛̋̓s̷̢̝̽͂h̷͉̀͋̋́̐̕͘͠,̶̖̙̽̾̈̔̓̉̄͠ ̷̞̯͚̩͕̌̍͜͝m̵̺͚̹̿͛̋̓̇̂̊̐̂̑ừ̵̡͇̟̙͍̥͐̽̐͘͠ș̷̺̼̭͔͉̟͛̋͑̑͝ţ̵̻̣̠͚̾͒͑͛ͅ ̷̫̟͌͌͘K̸̢̝̰͔͚̼̝̝̮͈̆̇̄̚͝I̶̲̫̻̍̏̿̔̚L̷̨̻̟͙̼̲̲͙̞̄̽̋̇̀͗̓̚L̸̺͓͕̻͎̻̦̿̉̏̒!̴̧̱̹̏”̵̧̹͌̋́̃́͗̽

"Master! Help me!" Class called out weakly.

"That think is still alive!" Spike looked on in shock.

"Enough," Edward said as he came down from the sky and knocked me over the head and to the ground. I shook my head head returning to normal, normal enough.

I grown and revert back to pirate form. “Thanks Edward, that key takes a lot out of me and I’m almost out of strength.” I say as I look up at the monster struggle in the ice still as live but bleeding heavily.

“Edward I’m sorry but I think I’m done for now.” I sigh and look over at the keys that landed in the snow, then start picking them up.

"It's fine, that key is way more powerful than even I predicted. You can't maintain the proper mind set due to fatigue. Being close to me probably ups it influences as well," Edward walked over and held a hand up to me and it ignited in a green flaming energy. I was soon engulfed in it and started to feel much better. "But you've done more than enough. Rest."

"Master..." Class cried out.

"You will show me where you master is before you die of your wounds beast," Edward said coldly as he walked over and placed a hand over the chimera head. Class screamed out in pain. Edward suddenly gritted his teeth, "SOMBRA!!!!!!!!!" Edward roared and crimson energy poured from his body in a column of red rage.
