Previous Chapter Next ChapterEpisode 25: New Villans to Reform
The rangers were all at the base since school was out, helping out with few programs, and to catch up on their school studies in private away from all the crowds and fans whom admired them with their popularity and all.
They also took the time to help out around the base by doing some chores, or assisting in minor repairs. Keeping the place and the equipment clean and working properly made everything like clockwork.
Sometimes, they even came to do some basic, private training, to keep their fighting skills up for any danger that was bound to happen.
That's when Sunset came in with her glowing journal. "What's with the journal Sunset?" Rainbow asked.
Sunset opened it a small holographic humanoid pony appeared. "Commander Lightning Dawn?!" Everyone exclaimed in shock.
"Hello everyone." Lightning stated.
"What is Lightning. Is something wrong?" Sunset asked.
"No, I have a task for Sapphire." Lightning said.
"For me?" Sapphire asked, coming near the book. Lightning turned to her. "Yes, I have some more villains that Queen Celestia, Grand Ruler and I would like for you to reform."
"How many more villains?" Rainbow asked slowly.
"Only four." Lightning stated.
"Well... four can't be a problem. Alright, I'll do it." Sapphire said, much to everyone's worry and concern.
"Good, I'll bring them to your world in about fifteen minutes along with a friend that can help you keep them in line." Lightning said and the holographic image went away. Sunset and the others expressed with concern to Sapphire, "Sapphire, you can't be serious." Buddy said.
"You can't reform more villains. You don't even know who these villains are." Artie added.
"They could easily blow up to smithereens." Pinkie exclaimed. Sapphire held a calm look, "Guys, I'll be fine. I have my Elements and the minions, my pokemon, dragons and you guys if anything goes wrong." Sapphire reassured.
"Pfft. And what can the minions do, run away?" Rainbow smirked.
"We heard that." the minion said in unison. Everyone turned and saw them in the lab with their arms crossed. "How did you three get in here?!" Starla exclaimed, not hearing the three come in. "Does matter anyway, I'm sure these villains are just a bunch of pushovers." Bronc said.
"And I bet none of them are as gorgeous as me." Marla said, brushing her hair. Bronc and Keto sighed.
"Well... I guess we better go to the portal." Fluttershy stated. Everyone reluctantly agreed and went to the portal. Human Lightning Dawn, Krysta, Mr. Grandruler, Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, Dean Cadence and Shining Armor were present as well.
The portal waved and Commander Lightning appeared. "Hello everyone, nice to see you all again."
"You too." Sunset greeted.
"And how's your Princess doing?" Lightning teased.
"I'm okay and the minions are well behaved." Sapphire said with a grin.
"For now." Rainbow whispered to the adults. The minions heard it. "Hey!" they said with tick marks on their heads. Commander Lightning laughed. "So uh, where the villains you want Sapphire to reform?" Fluttershy asked.
"They're coming right about... now." The portal waved again and four figures came out of the portal. As soon as everyone laid eyes on them, they gasped in horror.
"Hello again... humans." Vulcan grinned.
"Miss us." The Dazzlings said in unison.
"What are these four doing here?!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"I want Sapphire to reform them. That's why." Commander Lightning said.
"B-B-But that's crazy!" Buddy exclaimed. "Those four can't be reformed."
"Same was said for the minions but Sapphire proved otherwise." Lightning smirked. Commander Lightning then turned to Sapphire, "I know this is a tall order, but I'm confident in your abilities, Sapphire."
"Well... I'll try my best, Commander." Sapphire smiled nervously.
"I expect nothing less." he said with a proud smile. "So where's this friend that's suppose to help keep them in line?" Celestia asked.
"I'm glad you asked." a new voice came. Everyone jumped when a familiar draconequus appeared.
"Surprise people. Hahaha." Discord said with confetti around him.
"... Who is he?!" Everyone except for Sapphire, Lightning, Sunset and the villains exclaimed.
"I am Discord, the former lord of Chaos." Discord said floating around. "Commander Lightning has appointed me to help the newest Princess reform these four villains." he snapped his fingers and made Sapphire small and appear in his hands. "Oh my, aren't you a cute Princess, hmm."
"Hey, make her big again!" Vice Principal Luna said.
"Fine." Discord snapped his fingers again and Sapphire was regular sized again.
"Commander why is Discord here?" Sunset asked.
"I thought having a powerful creature around would help Sapphire in reforming the Dazzlings and Vulcan." Lightning said. "Just be sure to watch out. He sometimes shows for his mischievous side."
"Sometimes...." Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm sure all can handle it. Now I must return to United Equestria." Commander Lightning said with a salute and he went back through the portal. "Ooh, this is gonna be fun." Discord laughed.
Sapphire brought the four villains to her castle and showed them around. Though the minions tried their best to avoid Vulcan, being they were still scared of him. Commander Lightning did not remove the villains powers so that was something else Sunset and the others worried about at the mansion.
"Ooh, what if Vulcan hurts her?" Fluttershy asked.
"Of what if the Sirens put her under their spell." Buddy added.
"Now now, don't jump into 'worse case scenario' just yet. Remember Sapphire is very far from being defenseless. She has Vulcan's former minions by her side as well as her dragons and pokemon." Mr. Grandruler said.
"We know, it's just..." Sunset trailed off.
"You're really worried about her?" Luna guessed. Everyone nodded, "She's like a surrogate... sister to us and we don't wanna she her injured." Sunset admitted bashfully.
"We understand your concerns." Celestia said. "So.. why don't we see how Sapphire does for a few days and if things get bad, we all intervene?"
Sunset and the others looked at each other and agreed. "Alright, we'll do that." Sunset said. Discord then appeared. "Can I help with anything?"
"Well.. how about you secretly spy on Sapphire and the others and then report back here. Like a real super spy!" Pinkie said happily.
"Ooh, I like this one." Discord said. "Your wish is my command." he snapped his fingers and he was gone. "Something tells me he's gonna be a bigger pain than the Sirens and Vulcan." Rainbow grumbled.
At the castle, the Sirens and Vulcan were in one of Sapphire's guest bedroom. Adagio, Aria and Sonata and Vulcan all shared the room."Alright, you four just make yourselves at home." Sapphire said to all of them before going off to make some lunch for them.
The Sierns looked around the room, "Looks comfy." Sonata said.
"I guess... better than the cells." Adagio reluctantly agreed.
"So what now?" Aria asked.
"Well we're not letting that goody two shoes get to us." Adagio growled. "Stupid Commander." Vulcan felt the same way. "Hmph. I'm not gonna let the girl who ruined my business think she can be friends with me." he hissed.
"We'll just have to-" Vulcan started.
"make this assignment go horribly wrong-" Adagio said.
"So we can escape from her and take over this world!" they both said and laughed evilly.
What they didn't see was an invisible Discord spying on them. "Hmm, this seems interesting." he snapped his fingers and appeared back in the mansion and told the gang. "Say what now?!" Rainbow exclaimed. "They're gonna purposely be difficult so they can get away from Sapphire!"
"And take over the world?!" Fluttershy added.
"Not if we have anything to say about it." Lightning stated. But before any of them could move, Discord said, "Now now, you say you would see how things go before intervening with Sapphire's assignment."
The gang sighed, remembering they all agreed to that. "Fine.." Sunset said. "We'll stay with the agreement."
Discord smiled, "Don't be so worried, what's the worse they can do to her?"
The Next Day
Sapphire had sent a large breakfast for the Sirens and Vulcan. "Adagio, Aria, Sonata, Vulcan, it's breakfast time!" she called. But strangely she didn't get a response from either of them. "Hmm...' weird." she went upstairs to where their rooms and bathroom were. She looked into both of their rooms and found it empty, but the bed sheets were folded over at a corner, so they did sleep in them. "Wonder where they went?"
She then noticed some water at the corner of her eye. "Water?" she followed the water trail to the bathroom where water was coming through the bottom. "Huh? What's wrong?" Sapphire opened the door and was met with a typhoon of water! "YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!' the water swept her back down the steps and out the door onto the steps. She panted and coughed a little. "Sapphire!"
Sapphire looked and saw her friends running over to her. "Are you alright, sugarcube?" Applejack asked. Celesto and Celestia helped her up. "Yeah, I'm good. Just a little soaked." Sapphire said a bit shaken. The gang heard laughing and saw the Dazzlings and Vulcan in the doorway. "Like our surprise?" Adagio smirked.
"You four did that?!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Of course." Vulcan said. The Dazzlings laughed again and went back into the castle. "Gr... why those little." Rainbow growled.
"Not now Rainbow." Sunset said. "Right now, we need to help Sapphire."
"We'll take her to our mansion." Celesto said.
"And I'll make her some new clothes." Rarity offered. Everyone agreed and Rarity went off to her boutique while the others went to the mansion.
Inside, the Dazzlings and Vulcan were still laughing, "Did you see her face?" Sonata laughed. "Priceless."
"That's what she gets for messing with us." Vulcan added. When they entered the dining room, they froze, seeing the set up Sapphire had made for them. "Woah... where did all this come from?" Aria asked.
Vulcan found a note that read...
Here's your breakfast :)
Sapphire Sunlight
"Sapphire made all this?" Sonata exclaimed, looking at the pancakes, omelettes, bacon, eggs, sausage and etc. "What a cook!"
"I'll admit, she's got cooking skills. Better than what those guard fed us in prison." Vulcan grumbled.
"Well.. we might as well dig in." Adagio said. The four sat down at the table and ate the breakfast food.
At the mansion, Rarity came over with Sapphire's new clothes. Sunset and the friends dried her off and she put on the clothes. "Thanks you guys." Sapphire said.
"No problem." Rainbow said. "So how are you gonna reform these four this time?"
"I'll do it the same way I did with Marla, Keto and Bronc." Sapphire replied.
"Sapphire, Vulcan and the Sirens don't seem like the 'friendship' types." Celestia warned.
"I know, but I have to try at least." Sapphire stated.
"Can u at least take the minions with you?" Luna suggested. "Just so you can have some backup."
"Relax, we'll go with her to watch them." Bronc said. Marla and Keto nodded. The four of them returned to the castle and found the Sirens and Vulcan back in their rooms. "Uh, are you three alright?" she asked the girls.
"We're fine, Princess." Adagio hissed.
"Hey be nice to her." Marla stated.
"Oh yeah, what for?" Aria asked with venom in her voice.
"Cause if you don't you'll have to answer to us, right boys?" Marla asked.
"Yeah." Bronc said. Keto, on the other hand, was still transfixed by their Sirens looks. "So pretty." he said. That earned him a hit on the head by Marla. "Focus."
"Oh right! Yeah, you'll have to answer to us." Keto stated.
"Puh-lease, like we could ever fight back against you. If you haven't notice our pendents are destroyed." Adagio stated. Marla growled, "Still. You harm our friend, you deal with us." Vulcan started to flare up a little. "Is that so?" he threatened. The minions started to shake a little in fear and Sapphire stepped forth. "Don't even think about it Vulcan." she said with her Elements glowing brightly and shimmering, reminding Vulcan of their power. Vulcan calmed down and huffed, "Fine.. you win... this time." Sapphire grinned and she and the minions exited the room.
"Hmph, who does that girl think she is." Aria scoffed.
"Through.. it was kind of her to make us breakfast." Sonata said, twiddling her fingers. Her sisters and Vulcan were incline to agree. "The girl has a point... and my minions do seem happy to be with her."
"Well what did you expect." Discord said popping in. "What do you want, Discord?" Adagio asked, already annoyed by Discord's presence.
"Oh nothing, it's just that you've seen how Vulcan's former minions are happy with Sapphire ever since she reformed them and maybe, just maybe you could be happy too." Discord said.
"We could really be happy?" Sonata asked.
"If you all let Sapphire reform you all." Discord proposed. Then he snapped his fingers and disappeared. The girls and Vulcan looked at each other, "Do you really think Discord's telling the truth?" Aria asked.
"Well... my minions do seem happier with Sapphire than they were with me." Vulcan stated. "Probably because threatened to destroy them if they messed up."
"They do seem happier than they were with us too." Adagio stated. "Probably because we duped them."
Vulcan groaned and music started to play in the background.

(Vulcan, spoken)
Why am I so confused? Ugh, it all used to be simple. What changed? Think!
(Vulcan and Dazzlings)
Why do I feel this way inside?
Sapphire doesn't fear me
She's been being our hides
It's like... I know she buys the whole Circle o' Life
I mean, sisi ni sawa's kinda catchy, all right?
But we have our own master plans though
We wouldn't give up just because of her kindness, would we
Which side are we on?
Could it be, maybe, that the Princess is right?
(Sapphire)
Sisi ni sawa means we're the same
(Vulcan and Dazzlings)
Oh no!
It sets something off inside my brain
She says I can trust her, but I don't know
Could there really be a new way to go?
(All)
A new way to go
A new way to go
Say yes instead o' no
With a new way to go
A new way to go
A new way to go
Make a friend from a foe
With a new way to go
(Vulcan and the Dazzlings)
She always eats
We're always hungry
She got a team
I got these dummies
It's like... I'd rather be happy
Than scrapping for fame or respect
Uh, what's happening?
I think I see it in a different light
Maybe the stuff I thought was wrong was right?
I think I like it
But I'm still undecided
How to choose?
What to do?
A new way to go
(Sapphire)
Sisi ni sawa means we're the same
(Vulcan and the Dazzlings)
Oh!
It sets something off inside my brain
She says I can trust her, but I don't know
Could there really be a new way to go?
(All)
A new way to go
A new way to go
Say yes instead o' no
With a new way to go
A new way to go
A new way to go
Make a friend from a foe
With a new way to go
(All)
(A new way to go)
(A new way to go)
(Say yes instead o' no with a new way to go)
(Sapphire)
Sisi ni sawa means we're the same
(All)
A new way to go
A new way to go
Make a friend from a foe
With a new way to go
The Dazzlings and Vulcan stared at each other for a moment, "Huh... guess she can't be that bad afterall." Vulcan admitted.
"Yeah... she is very nice." Aria said. "And being around her for a day is way better than spending years in a cold prison cell." Adagio added.
"That is true... maybe we should give this friendship thing a try." Sonata said. Her sisters and Vulcan looked at each other, wondering if they should do it or not.
Meanwhile, Sapphire and the minion were drying out some of the rugs and carpets that got wet from the water when the Sirens and Vulcan came into the room. "Adaigo, Sonata, Aria, Vulcan, what is it?" Sapphire asked.
"Well..." Sonata trailed.
"We discussed it over and we.. uh.." Vulcan added.
"We've decided to give this 'friendship' thing a try." Adagio said. "Since the little time with you has been better than the years we've spent in jail we've decided to let you reform us."
Sapphire grinned happily. "Yeah." and she hugged the four former villains. "This is great." The Sirens and Vulcan awkwardly hugged her back.
When Sapphire told the others, they were shocked and surprised, especially when she brought them to the mansion, "They wanted to be friends with you?!" they all exclaimed.
Sapphire nodded and Discord popped up, "See there was nothing to worry about."
"I guess." Sunset admitted.
"Relax, Sunny, we won't harm the goody two shoes." Adagio stated.
"Hey only I call her Sunny!" Pinkie exclaimed.
Adagio rolled her eyes. "Well as long as they behave I guess they can stay with you, Sapphire." Celesto said. The Dazzlings and Vulcan nodded, "Guess you have some more reformed villains on your hands, Sapphire." Rainbow said.
"I'll be fine." Sapphire reassured. Discord came floating over their heads. "Looks like you have some more friends to add." Discord said. Sunset and the others sighed and rolled their eyes. This was going to take some getting used to.
