Lightning fell over right near where the rangers were standing.

“Look out!!” shouted Buddy.

“RANGERS…!!!” Celesto called from the distance!

CRASH!! The Comer Striker slammed on the ground hard making a cloud of dust. Everyone gawked in extreme shock and horror.

“No! It can’t be…!” Celestia cried ever so softly.

Vulcan laughed maliciously. Lightning slowly and wearily turned his head, “No…! Guys…!” he called. However, as the dust settled, the rangers were revealed to be just fine. Sunset quickly managed to tap into her pony magic, and shield herself and the others in a powerful barrier that protected them from the force of the impact.

Everyone else saw across the distance and they were very relieved, but suddenly they saw the barrier fade out and Sunset almost collapsed in exhaustion. “Sunset!” cried Fluttershy as she and other caught her. “Are you okay?” asked Buddy.

“Yeah, but I’m exhausted!” groaned Sunset “I don’t have enough magic to reenergize our strength, let alone our morphers.”

“Um… I think that’s the least of our problems right now.” Rainbow said, and she motioned that the Megazord was stomping its way towards them all. The rangers would never be able to get to anywhere safe in time.

“It’s over, Rangers!” shouted Vulcan “Prepare to be destroyed… by your own zords!” he laughed wickedly.

(Que Intro)

“They’ve got to get out of there!” cried Pinkie. “But how?” snapped Applejack “That huge hulk will hit ‘em no matter how far they run!”

The megazord loomed over, and poised its sword ready to strike, but just as it swung down to do so, several blasts came from behind the megazord. "What the-?" What everyone saw next, shocked them. Sapphire, the minions and their dragons were seen flying around the front of the megazord. "Yah! Keto, Bronc, watch your backs! Move, Marla!" Sapphire ordered.

Celesto and the others were shocked and surprised. Vulcan on the other hand was not. He turned to the three 'minions' and blasted them revealing they were clones. "TRATIORS!" he yelled. The dragons blasted the megazord as Lightning got back up onto his feet.

“Oh, no, you don’t!” thundered Vulcan and he prepared to shoot at Lightning.

“Oh, yes, I do!” Lightning growled, and he thrust his other hand with his blade extended straight at Vulcan, striking him hard and knocking him way back. “Wow! Nice shot!” Rainbow hollered up, but Lightning was too busy to hear her as he was back on his feet and knocked the megazord’s sword away; sent it crashing deep into the depths of town.

“Not so tough now! Eh…?” Lightning gloated, and with his blades he slashed at the megazord making sparks and explosions fly.

A swarm of monsters worked hard to clear the wreckage where Vulcan had crashed. Everyone dug frantically at the rocks and bits of debries, and suddenly, the pile began to vibrate and heat up. Everyone ran and ducked behind more mounds as Vulcan burst through the debries in a firey explosion, roaring loudly and flaring wildly. Vulcan snarled, "Time to end this." he growled.

Meanwhile, both Lightning and the Megazord were starting to look beat. Both of them each had a bit of power left, but Lightning didn’t know if he could bring himself to actually take the megazord down, not after how much it meant to him and the others rangers.

Suddenly, the rangers could see…

“LIGHTNING…!!” Sunset shouted up at him.

“LOOK OUT, MAN!
IT’S VULCAN!!” added Rhymey.

Lightning looked behind him, and saw giant Vulcan snickering at him. “Now, Comet Ranger, prepare for your roasting!"

“Lightning, get out of there!” Buddy called.

“Oh, I can’t look!” cried Fluttershy.

With Vulcan in front of him and the megazord behind, Lightning didn’t have much place to go, and Vuclan began to power up for his big attack!

“What am I going to do?!” Lightning whimpered, then suddenly he realized there was only one way to get out of this, and stop the megazord, but this was literally the hardest thing he would ever have to do in his entire life!

The megazord charged right at him to attack, but at the last second, Lightning roared and thrust his sword clean into the megazord’s chest.

Inside the cockpit, sparks and explosions flew all over as the Lingos frolicked about in panic.

“SAY GOODBYE!!” Vulcan thundered.

“NO!!” shouted Lightning, and pulling with all his might, he actually threw the megzord hard into Vulcan, just as he unleashed his firey assault, making a huge explosion right at him!

The explosion was so bright, the rangers, the villains, even the friends in the distance covered their eyes.

The force of the explosion hit Lightning hard, causing his armor to spark and explode. “BAIL OUT!!” he cried as he shrunk down and leapt out of the suit as it fell over and was blowing into scrap bits!

When the explosion faded out, The rangers looked to their horror; they couldn’t see Vulcan anywhere, but their beautiful megazord was all to bits and scrap pieces.

“Our zords!” cried Sunset.

“They’re totally totally totalled!” sobbed Rainbow.

“Ah, man! This is horrible!” said Buddy

They all heard the sound of someone groaning!

“Lightning!” cried Fluttershy.

He was lying on the ground several feet away from them. His suit had ultimately powered out, and his morpher was dead. He himself looked in a bad way; his clothes were torn and had holes and he was covered in sweat and grime.

The rangers ran over and helped him up to his feet, but Lightning gawked up at the destruction. “COMET STRIKER…!!” he screamed. It was such a crushing sight to see the remains of his strong armor burning away.

While in the distance, “Ohh…!” Krysta fainted in such relief that Lightning was okay, but everyone else was all in shock and incredibly horrified at what had just happened.

“I can’t believe that just happened!” cried Twilight. “Me neither!” added Spike “Now we’ve lost all the zords too.”

Celesto felt his insides shredding with grief and concern. “First the base, then the morphers, and now this…!”

Celestia comforted her husband, “At least the rangers are safe.”

“True…” added Luna “And Vulcan seems to be gone too.”

Everyone agreed to that, but Applejack looked out over the distance and gawked, “Um… I don’t think so. Look!”

Vulcan grumbled as he pulled himself up from the burning derbies. He looked a little beaten but nowhere near defeated.

“I don’t believe it!” cried Sunset.

“That explosion hit him right flat!
How can he be alive after all that?” growled Rhymey.

“That’s because he’s not so easy to get rid of.” sneered Marla.

The rangers turned, and saw the army of monsters standing and glaring at them. All the monster sharpened their fangs and prepped their weapons, and Vulcan stood tall and strong behind the army laughing pitifully at the rangers. “Well, well… look at the mighty Power Rangers now. They came so far only to fail right here.”

The rangers didn’t know what to say, or do. There was literally no way for them to fight back without their powers, and they couldn’t very well escape as Vulcan planned to dominate the entire world. Suddenly, Sapphire, the minions and their dragons touched down in front of the rangers. "Not so fast!" Sapphire said.

Vulcan laughed, "You can't do anything to stop me. I have your magic!" Vulcan stated. Sapphire's eyes narrowed. Suddenly, her elements' glowed brightly and the bracelet's floated into the air. "What's going on?" Sunset asked. The six elements combined into once and made a large ball of magic. It shot out eleven large tubes of magic and it covered Sapphire, the minions, and their dragons. Sapphire activated the magic and they were all sucked into the ball of magic. The elements magic changed their appearance. Sapphire now had a rainbow colored hair and she had marking of all of the elements of harmony.

Marla: Her hair had a yellow and purple streak in it and her outfit had the markings of the Element of Generosity and turned very colorful and she acquired a wand of her own.

Keto: He was a bit taller, about Marla's height now. His wizard attire had markings of the Element of Kindness and became armor and his staff changed into a scepter like Sapphire's.

And Finally Bronc: He had a pair of short horns and his body had multiple markings of the element of loyalty. Their dragons had also gained similar markings and were glowing with the elements' power. They all floated above the city. Vulcan blasted at the ball of magic but it had no effect. "How is this possible you have no magic!" he said.

"You're wrong, Vulcan. I may have given you my unicorn magic, but I carry within me the most powerful magic of all." Sapphire declared. Meanwhile, though Canterlot High had be completely demolished in the chaos, the one thing that still remained untouched was the broken statue where the portal to the pony world used to stay… and that portal began to glow!

Small glowing orbs of light emerged from the portal and flew out across the island.

The original five rangers each received one. The lights then rested on the fronts of their shirts and transformed.

“What now?!” snapped Vulcan.

“Our energizers!” cried Fluttershy.

“We’ve got them back!” added Buddy.

Lightning also received one. “What? I get one too?”

The friends in the distance all received their energizers as well, even Celestia got hers back. “I can’t believe it!” she cried with joy.

The students all gawked at the energizers on their fronts. “I… I recognize this.” said Artie. The others all felt the same, and suddenly all their memories became as clear as daylight

All their battles and adventures… their friendships and activites… Everything!

It made them all gasp and clutch their heads in sudden shock.

“I… I remember!” said Starla.

“Me too.” added Applejack.

The adults and Twilight all exchanged looks of glee that their friends were finally back to their proper-selves.

“I’m glad to see that too.” said a voice from behind.

Everyone turned round.

“Commander Lightning!” cried Dyno. “Is it really you?” asked Myte.

Lightning nodded, “The portal’s all fixed, but never mind that. Let’s go!”

“RIGHT!!”the others agreed.

“Let’s go guys!” said Sunset, and the others agreed.

“STARFLEET MAGIC!!”

“HARMONY HOUR, FRIENDSHIP POWER!!”

“Valkyria!” shouted Celestia, and she transformed into The Valkyrie of Magic!

Sunset transformed into The Shining Angel. Their super suits donned for their first time, and their magical strengths and powers fully restored thanks to the energizers being tuned up.

Human Lightning found this to be incredible, “This feels even more powerful than my ranger suit!” He looked behind at his new pony wings, felt his new pony ears on his head, and even admired his new pony tail in back and the white unicorn horn sticking out of his head, “Wicked!”

Vulcan growled fiercely, “I’ve had just about enough all this!”

“Well we’ve had enough of you!” sneered Sunset, “Let’s take ‘em down, guys!”

“YEAH!!”the others all agreed, and the battle was on.

All those monsters roared and charged forth, but despite outnumbering the heroes greatly, because the heroes now had their super powers back, they were much stronger, swifter and just plowed their way through things. Sapphire and the minions unleashed their magic on a swarm of them and they were imprisoned in capture spheres.

Human Lightning gave a huge spinning kick into one monster and sent it sailing hard away. “Whoa! This intense!” he exclaimed.

“Glad to see you’re enjoying it.” said Buddy, and he used his Vine Whip and lashed several monsters at once.

“I’ll get you for that!” thundered Vulcan.

“Not if I get you first!” hollered Rainbow, and she charged straight at him as he body began to shimmer brightly,“SONIC-RAINBOOM!”she collided right into him hard making a huge, colorful explosion which knocked him over on his back again.

“Here I come!” cried Fluttershy, and she soared in from the skies, right at Vulcan’s huge face. She and rainbow then proceeded to ram numerous punches at him to keep him down.

Rhymey called up to them…

“Good job, girls!
Now let’s give some whirls!”

He pulled out his Ward Sword, and powered it up,“THRASH SLASH!”he struck hard, sending a bright wave of magic at a swarm of monsters, blowing them up and imprisoning them all in spheres.

“There’s still many more!” hollered Sunset, but that’s when all the others arrived on the field, “Don’t worry! The cavelery’s here!” Artie called.

Sunset looked up at him, and he smiled at her and saluted softly, telling her at the others that he and his friends had regained their memories.

Super Lightning then saluted at Sunset, “Good to see you’re still fighting, Major.”

Sunset nodded, and now, it was time to wrap things up for good.

The Starfleet Humans all got out their weapons and powered up their attacks…

"WHIPLASH STRIKE!"

“SUPER STAFF SPIN!!”

“GALACTIC PROJECTILE!”

“BOOM-BOOM FLARE!!”

All those powerful attacks streaked across the way, striking all the monsters blowing them all up and imprisoning them all in spheres. “So much for them!” said Sunset. Then she turned to look at Vulcan. Vulcan batted Fluttershy and Rainbow off of him and bolted up onto his feet. “You may have beaten my army, but I won’t be so easily beaten!”

“I wouldn’t bet on that, Vulcan!” thundered Sunset.

“Neither would I!” agreed Super Lightning as he fluttered up beside her and all their friends stood together in a row. The other five Equestria girls had donned their Valkyrie suits, and everyone stood ready for the final blow.

Since Vulcan was much too big and powerful to capture as he was, the only option was to wipe him out for good!

Super Lightning said proudly to Sunset, “Major… you have the con!”

Sunset nodded. “Valkyries of Harmony!” she hollered, and the Valkyries all agreed, surrounding Vulcan in a ring, and firing magical beams form their swords to hold him down!

Vulcan wailed as he struggled and pulled, “Release me!”

“It’s time!” said Sunset, and she hovered in the middle as everyone else joined hands in a massive chain with her, transferring their energies into her as she glowed brighter and brighter as she hollered,“Power of the Stars… Power of Friendship… Lend me your might to vanquish this great evil from our world!”

POW!! She unleashed a strong wave of energy straight at Vulcan, along with Sapphire and the minions, striking right through him! Vulcan roared and screeched as body vaporized into nothingness. “MY BUSINESS IS DOOMED…!!” Those were his last words as he was completely vanquished, and the force of the magic spread all over the island, restoring all the buildings and all the damages to normal! Even the zords were all restored, and so was the underground base! Celesto, Luna, Twilight, Spike and Krysta… as well as any remaining soldiers cheered hysterically. As for the heroes, they all stood together atop a tall, tall building. Sunset and Super Lightning nodded at one another, and they and their friends all declared together“…MISSION… COMPLETE!!” The dragons roared loudly in victory.

With all the evil gone, and the island fully healed and restored, it was safe for all the people to return, and with the aid of their magic, the team rounded up all the spheres ready for Super Lightning to take back to his world where the villains would all be returned to prison where they belonged! Even the spheres from the base were taken away, including the Sirens. Sapphire's elements had changed into one element in the shape of a heart with all the colors of the Elements of Harmony.

Super Lightning promised to send each Siren to a different prison, so they could never be together again and lead to another escape trick.

“I have to hand it to you all,” said Super Lightning “You all serve your planet and your entire world very well.”

The others all smiled. Sapphire nervously approached Super Lightning with the minions in tow. "So... what about these three?" Rainbow asked.

Super Lightning gave a small smile, "I'll let them go." he said.

"HUH?"

He stepped up to Sapphire. "Sapphire managed to get them to turn over a new leaf. Something I didn't think they could do."

"Yeah, how did she do that?" Spike asked.

"I think I know. By treating the minions as friends she got them to realize friendship was actually important to them and something that once they had they didn't want to lose." Twilight said. Super Lightning was proud of Sapphire.

“Still, I’m kinda going to miss being a ranger.” said Rainbow. The other former rangers all agreed.

They had already turned their morphers back over to Celesto. “Well, you have your super powers back.” he said “So, the Power Rangers don’t really need to exist anymore, but we can always recharge these and they’ll always be kept ready if ever needed again.”

“At least our world is safe once again.” said Celestia “And we have all our friends back too.”

All the friends stood with brave smiles on their faces, and Artie and Sunset held hands.

Human Lightning was especially grateful. “I can’t believe I have my own pony powers now.”

His dimensional counterpart nodded at him, “You’ve earned it, and I know you’ll use them wisely just I use my own.”

Starla approached Human Lightning, “Looks like you’re really one of us now.” She gave him a flirtatious look. He blushed softly, and everyone else snickered.

“How come you don’t get any powers, Twilight?” Spike asked. He really felt she deserved some, and as flattered as Twilight felt, “Face it, I’m just not a fighter. I’m much better at being a tech expert.”

Super Lightning nodded, “Every job on the force is equally as important as another. As long as everyone does their part to help, there is nothing that cannot be done.”

Celesto agreed, “Well said, Commander. We will continue in whatever way we can to protect our world.”

He and Super Lightning saluted to one-another.

Before he left, Lightning had two gifts for Sunset, and the first was a promotional medal. “By my virtue and honor as Commander of Starfleet, I hereby confirm up you, Sunset Shimmer… our world ambassador… the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, for your outstanding leadership, extreme bravery, and efforts in saving this world and doing Starfleet proud.”

Everyone applauded for Colonel Sunset, and she and Super Lightning saluted. “Thank you, sir.” said Sunset.

Super Lightning then handed her a special new book. “This is a newer model of the message book.” He explained, and then he held out the matching linking book of his own and showed that when he opened it and Sunset opened hers, she could see a holographic image of him… almost like using a video phone. “I believe this will make communications much easier.”

“This is incredible.” said Sunset “I promise, I’ll take great care of it.”

“Make sure you do.” Just then, Sapphire's element began to glow once again. "Now what?" Buddy asked. The element floated out of her necklace and towards the coastline, near where Celesto's mansion was. Everyone followed it, including Super Lightning. The element sank into the ground and something very, very bright sprouted from the ground. Everyone covered their eyes at the sight and when they opened them they all gasped in utter shock.

What sprouted from the ground was a castle!

It was a multi-level castle in its branches, which includes a great balcony, two spires, and a tower. The structure has at least one banner flying on the side marked with Sapphire's element mark and the top bears a large crystal star. Two sets of five strings of beads hang off the side of the structure much like the white beads that hang off the Tree of Harmony. At the foot is a great golden stair for the two-leaved golden door into the tree's body. Two open lancet windows flank the door. "Oh my Goodness!" Rarity cried. "Are you all seeing what I'm seeing?"

"But.. whose is it?" Sunset asked.

"I believe it is yours, Sapphire." Super Lightning claimed. Sapphire's element came above ground again and blasted Sapphire with a small beam of it's magic. A pair of wings sprouted from her upper back. They were like Snowflake's but not as long and she grew a tail like Snowflake's too. Everyone gasped at Sapphire's new wings. "Ah, Ah never seen anything like it." Applejack said.

"Ha! Sapphire's got wings now! Awesome, I new flying buddy!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Why you've became part dragon! I didn't even know that was possible." Rarity added.

"Dragoncorn Party!" Pinkie cried as she swung on a rope blowing party markers. "Wow, you look just like a Princess." Fluttershy said.

"That's because she is a Princess." A majestic voice said and descending from the sky was none other than Queen Celestia, in her alicorn pony form. "Celestia." Sunset gasped. Celestia walked over to Sunset Shimmer. "Hello Sunset Shimmer, I see you're doing well." Sunset smiled and nodded. Her counterpart was in awe and her husband. "Woah, she's cute." he muttered, getting a smack by his wife. "Hey!"

"Wah! I mean.. uh.. er.." Celesto stammered, but his wife laughed at his behavior. "Not funny." he grumbled.

"Wait, wait, wait, Sapphire's... a princess now?!" Artie asked.

"Yes." Celestia confirmed. Everyone was at a loss of words. "I'm... a Princess?" Sapphire said.

"Since you've come here, you've displayed the charity, compassion devotion, integrity, optimism and of course, the leadership of a true Princess." Celestia explained. "And you've help some others find their way." she turned to the minions. "And I know you'll set them on the right path." Sapphire smiled at the minions, "I will." With that settled, Super Lightning and Queen Celestia took his leave. “Carry on everyone… Farewell for now.”

Everyone waved at him, and watched as he climbed through the statue and vanished through the portal.

After he was gone, the civilians began to return to the island from the mainland and soon the city would be bustling and full of life again.

“Now what happens?” asked Rairty.

Pinkie had the perfect answer to that, “I say… WE PARTY!!”

No one could refuse that, and that night, the entire school yard was all decked up and bustling with excitement as a huge celebration was held. The minions were hesitant at first, but their dragons insisted or rather forced them to join in by grabbing them and bringing them over to the party. "Hey! Wait! Stop" they said but their dragons didn't listen.

There was rock music, dancing, all the snacks and treats you could think of. The former rangers were really enjoying themselves.

Rainbow was playing her guitar on stage, and Fluttershy and Rhymey were moving and grooving with the other dancers. Buddy was there with Tree Hugger, and Twilight was grooving with her brother and Cadance.

“Groovy party!” said Tree.

“Well, the others have to make the most of it;” said Buddy “They all have to attend Summer School to make up for all they missed.”

“Well, if they graduate, that’d be great,
But what happens when we all have to separate?” asked Rhymey; he referred to the fact that soon they would all be attending college. Well... Sapphire's future is still a mystery.

This made Fluttershy worry again, “That means we won’t see each other for long periods of time.”

“I wouldn’t say that exactly…” Celesto said. “I wasn’t going to tell any of you this just yet, but…” he paused and showed them all small blueprint plans of a new college campus he had commissioned to be built right on the island.

Rainbow hopped off stage to look, “No way! Really…?”

Celesto nodded, and Celestia spoke, “We all know how much you mean to each other. Even we can’t bear to see you all separated. Especially since Sapphire's now a Princess, she may need her friends more than ever."

“Indeed.” agreed Luna “And after all, you are heroes of this world, and heroes are best when they stay together.”

“Think of it as a belated graduation gift for you, and an early one for the others.” said Celesto “As well as a thank you gift for all that you’ve done.”

The gang couldn’t help themselves and practically tackled him to the ground in a huge hug!

The sisters giggled.

“Hey, where’s Sunset,
Does she know yet?” asked Rhymey.

“I told her this earlier.” replied Celesto “She and Artie went off for a small walk.”

The couple was just on their way back to the party. They walked with their arms looped around one another and Sunset rested her head on Artie’s shoulder.

“I missed these walks with you.” said Sunset.

Artie didn’t know what to say at first, but he felt so wonderful to be with her again. “I was told how much you looked after me and the others. That’s so sweet.”

They gazed deeply into each other’s eyes, and their lips came together for the first time in a long while. Sunset wrapped her arms around Artie’s neck pulling him closer.

When they separated, Artie remembered, “I was supposed to ask you something before all this happened, and now I know I can.”

“What’s that?”

She got her answer when Artie pulled out a small box from his pocket, and opened it to reveal a beautiful silver ring with a diamond on top, much to her astonishment, and she looked at him with wide-eyes.

“Sunset Shimmer…” he spoke softly to her “Will you marry me?”

She was so happy deep down, she nearly lost all expressions, but she casually pretended to hesitate and think it over as she turned her back to him.

This worried Artie. “Well…?” he said wanting his answer.

She turned to face him, chuckling, “I didn’t want to make it too easy for you.

…Of course I will.”

“Alright…!” Artie cried as he picked her up high and twirled her, and she laughed with glee. Then Artie set her down, and they kissed deeply.

Their friends were watching from around the school.

“Ooh-hh-hh…!” Rarity and Marla cried as she dabbed her eyes with a hankie “How lovely!”

"So beautiful."

“He finally popped it.” said Buddy “Way to play, Artie.”

“Aww… so sweet.” said Pinkie.

Sunset and Artie didn’t plan to get hitched right away, as they still had much to do.

Artie and the others attended their summer classes and made up well for the times they lost while they were in the hospital.

By the time summer was out, the new college was finished. Celesto had hired the best construction workers in any business so that everything was setup by the end of summer for the grand opening for students to attend and pursue their ideal subjects for careers they sought, including Sunset wishing to pursue her new medical career.

Of course, there was one catch: Students did have to manage to pay their own scholarships. Celesto couldn’t spoil them all that much, and it would give the students more of a sense of responsibility. Well... he paid for Sapphire's scholarship as a little gift for her.

Eventually, all the friends paid for their entrances, and could all attend campus together, and their professors understood that they were all important fighters and they were allowed to be excused from courses and studies to help fight evil and injustice; provided they made up for lost time. Sapphire and the minions were made at home in their new castle home. Sapphire let Striker stay at the mansion, for the babies sake while the others, except for Dusk and Dawn come and stay at the castle.

Still, everything was okay, and the world was safer… at least for now!
