Chapter 12: Episode 12: Animal Sceptar
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSapphire found herself in a strange place; a void filled with stars containing animal constellations all around. It was... beautiful. “Woah.” she gasped.
“Sapphire Sunlight.” a voice called. Sapphire turned, "Whose there?" and saw a figure behind her. It was teenage boy with short, blue hair and he was peach colored. “Who are you?”
“My name is Flash Sentry. I am a friend of Sunset Shimmer and her friends."
"W-What are you doing here?" Sapphire inquired. "I am here to tell you of a weapon that will aid you in battle.”
“A weapon?”
“Like your friends they all have a weapon they use in battle and now it's time that you have one of your own. The weapon is called the Flora and Fauna Scepter or of you rather the Animal scepter .”
“Animal Scepter ?”
“It is an all powerful scepter that allows the user to unleash Animal Spirits at will."
"So it's like what I've been doing now?"
"Yes. Long ago, this weapon entered our world from the Dimensional Universe. It landed in an ancient temple somewhere on the planet. I was feared that in the wrong hands, the scepter would be used to bring harm to Nature and Animals so it was sealed away in an ancient temple in this world. But I believe that you are the one who is worthy of possessing this scepter and the power behind it.”
Sapphire nodded to Flash, "So how do I find this scepter?"
Flash smirked, "That's something you'll have to find out on your own; look in your locker and bring all the Elements of Harmony that you've unlocked."
"Why?" Sapphire asked confused.
"You'll find out." That's when the void began to waver and everything faded out.
Sapphire awoke in a shock, startling Snowflake and Midnight. They roared in concern, "I'm alright. Just a... dream." Her dream seemed so real, she believed it was true. If she was going to find a powerful weapon, she’s going to need help.
That Saturday morning, she gathered up all the rangers and Twilight and told them about her dream. "How did Flash even know about you?" Fluttershy questioned.
“Are you sure Flash told you about this?” Rainbow asked.
“Yes.” she replied.
“Weird, this sorta thing happens to ponies, not humans.” Sunset stated, confused.
“Let’s worry about that later." Lightning said. "Right now, it sounds like this Flora and Fauna Scepter is really strong.”
“Flash said it is extremely powerful.” Sapphire agreed. "And in the wrong hands, it will be used for great evil."
“So the first clue to finding the scepter is looking in your school locker?” Buddy asked. Comet nodded."But what do you need your Elements of Harmony for?" Sunset inquired.
"Flash said I would find out soon." Sapphire replied.
“Well we’d better start looking.” Fluttershy added. What the rangers didn’t know was that Keto was watching them and heard everything! “Wait till the others hear about this.” he whispered.
He teleported back to Prison Tower and told the others.
“Soooo, the rangers are going on a little treasure hunt to find a hidden weapon which they plan to use against us.” Keto stated.
Bronc winced once, “Oh, are they now?”
Marla poked into the room, “Treasure? Weapon…? Sounds like something maybe we could use as well. We’ll just have to find it before they do.”
“Indeed.” Bronc stated, “…And I know just the monster that can help us.”
He led his comrades to a cage where a monster named Prospector sat. He looked very much like his name, a plump yet strong looking monster, with a shaggy beard and a bent up cowboy hat. He was armed with sticks of dynamite on a sash, a strong shovel and a sharp pick on his back.
His weapons couldn’t help him while he was locked up, but he was very surprised when his cell was opened. “What in tarnation is goin’ on?” he asked.
“Get up, Prospector!” said Marla “You’re coming with us on a little treasure hunt.”
At first, Prospector didn’t seem interested, “I’ve been in this here cell for over a-hundred years, and I ain’t about to leave for…” he suddenly snapped upright, “…“Treasure” did you say? Well, saddle up and let’s ride! YEE-HAW!!”
Marla and Keto were starting to feel unimpressed.
Meanwhile, the rangers contacted Celesto and asked for him to unlock the school. When he was told of Sapphire's dream, he, too, was rather enthusiastic of seeking this powerful item. Sapphire was wearing the Elements of Loyalty, Kindness and Generosity on her wrists.
It was rather dark inside the school, being that it was Saturday so no one was present, so Celesto used the built-in flashlight in his cane to light the way to Sapphire's locker. She unlocked her locker but when they looked inside, nothing appeared to be there. “There’s nothing in here.” Rainbow said.
“Darn, maybe Sapphire's dream really was a dream.” Spike added.
“Wait.... I don’t remember there being a button at the back of my locker.” Comet said. Celesto shined his light into the locker and sure enough there was a small, red button in her locker that wasn’t there before. “What do you think it does?” Rainbow asked.
“Only one way to find out.” Comet pressed the button and the bottom of the locker opened up and a stone floated up and into her hands.
The stone was white with a variety of flora and animal symbols and footprints covering it. Twilight scanned it with her alien scanner, “That’s definitely not Earth origin, but I can’t figure out what it is.”
“So how is this thing supposed to help us find the Scepter?” Buddy asked.
“I’ve seen a stone like that before, it’s a tracking stone; the closer you get to the object, the faster and brighter the stone will glow.” Sunset added.
“Ummm, guys,” Fluttershy said, nervously. “the stone’s glowing!”
Everybody looked and indeed the stone was glowing and so was Sapphire's elements of harmony! “Guys?” she glowed brighter and brighter. The gang covered their eyes and when they opened them Sapphire was gone! All that was left were a few sparkles and a scorch mark in the shape of dog's paw
“Wh-What happened?” Fluttershy asked.
“Sapphire! She’s gone!” Buddy cried.
“Where’d she go?” Rainbow cried.
Sunset studied the sparkles left behind and gasped, “The stone... and the elements... teleported her away!”
“TELEPORTED?!” the rangers cried.
“Teleported her where?” Lightning asked.
“I don’t know.” Sunset replied.
“Oh, not good.” Twilight groaned. "She could be anywhere in the world now!"
“What do we do?” Spike asked.
“Let’s get to the base and see if we can track her.” Celesto suggested. The others agreed and rushed to the base, hoping Sapphire was alright.
In a puff of smoke, Sapphire appeared on her stomach in the middle of very lush forest and the stone was at her side.
“*Cough Cough* Wh-What happened?” Looking around she didn’t find any sign of her friends.
“Sunset... Lightning.... Anybody?” She called out but got nothing in response. The light was shining through the treetops and she heard birds chirping and monkey's cries echoing through the forest. “Okay, so I’m all alone in a big, scary forest with no supplies and just a glowing stone.” Sapphire said to herself. She touched the upper, right side of her chest. “Well I do have my morpher, so that’s good.” Seeing the stone and her elements blinking slowly, she knew she had to continue on. “Well I’d better find the scepter and hope my friends find me.”
With that she walked off into the forest. After about two hours, she came across a large pit of mud. “Oh dear. How am I gonna get across this?” The trees were hanging over the mud pit. Sapphire noticed the small openings between the trees branches and figured that she couldn't change into a small bird to get through there, so she only had once choice. She didn’t see any vines she could swing on or anything she could walk across the mud on. “Looks like I have no choice. I’ll have to... *gulp*.... walk across it.”
Carefully wading into the mud with the stone and elements held high, she walked into the mud which got deeper the further she went in. Halfway, the mud was up to her stomach. “Gross.” she whimpered. Soon, she was out of the mud with her pants and half her shirt covered in mud. “Ugh, I’m definitely going to need a bath after this.”
Pushing through, she kept walking forward until she came to a large cliff. Her hair had some leaves in it and she had some scratches on her face and arms. The stone and elements was blinking faster and faster. Soon it begins blinking really fast and Sapphire saw huge temple ruins.
Tree roots covered some of it and it was coated with moss and vines in the distance. “That must be the place.” She walked down the cliff and towards the castle, going through bushes and wiping sweat from her head from the intense heat. Finally she reached the entrance. “Well here goes nothing.” With that, she entered the castle, unaware that the minions and Prospector were watching from the brush.
“We’ve got her now.” Marla hissed.
“Come on let’s follow her.” Bronc ordered.
The others agreed and followed Sapphire into the castle ruins.
Meanwhile, Twilight was working frantically to try and locate Sapphire, “Anything yet, Twilight?” Lightning asked.
“Nothing yet.” She replied.
“I hope she’s okay.” Fluttershy said. Rhymey placed a hand on his girlfriend’s shoulder.
“Don’t worry we’ll find a way,
And make sure that’s she’s okay.” Rhymey reassured.
“Guys! I’ve got something!” Twilight called.
“What is it?” Celesto asked.
“Some alien DNA coming from the Amazon Rainforest.”
“Amazon Rainforest?” Rainbow said. “Why would alien DNA be coming from there?”
“It must be Vulcan's minions!” Lightning growled. “But why would they be there?” Spike asked.
“... That's probably where Sapphire and the scepter are!” Sunset cried. Everybody gasped in horror. “Those creeps must have followed so they could steal the scepter!” Buddy stated.
“We’ve got to get there and fast!” Fluttershy cried. “Who knows what those brutes will do to Sapphire.”
“Right, Let’s go!” Sunset snapped. The team immediately morphed and prepared their star jets for departure. Lightning rode in the backseat of Sunset’s star jet.
“Ready everybody?” Sunset asked.
“Green Ranger: read to fly.”
“Blue Ranger: Let’s kick it.”
“Yellow Ranger: Ready and Steady.”
“Pink Ranger: Um… Okay.”
“Let’s go!” Sunset added.
BOOM! The star jets blasted off to the Amazon Rain forest full speed ahead. "Hang on Sapphire, we're coming."
Just then, the team heard a loud roar and look to the side. "Is that... Jaguin Zord?!" Buddy exclaimed in shock. The hybrid Zord came to the side of the jets. "Yep, that her." Sunset stated. Another roar was heard and another Zord appeared. This one was icey blue with large white fangs in it's mouth and bobbed tail. "A Smilodon Zord?! Cool!" Rainbow exclaimed. The Zords turned to the team and nodded her head forward. "Something tells me she’s coming with us." Fluttershy claimed.
"I think you're right, Fluttershy." Lightning said. "Full speed ahead."
Meanwhile, Sapphire was walking down a long dark tunnel with only the stone to guide her. “It’s really... gulp... dark in here.” She whimpered. Her stomach then growled loudly and she groaned and placed hand on her stomach. “I’m starving.” she said. “I really should have brought something to eat.”
Then, she came to two separate tunnels, “Great. Now which one should I take?” Suddenly, the stone began floating out of her hands, glowing and blinking fast. Floating over to the right tunnel it floated down the tunnel, “Wait!” Sapphire called out as she chased after the stone. The stone led her to a huge room filled with plants, flowers and animal drawings and prints. “Woah.”
She gazed around with sparkles in her eyes. She's never saw anything so beautiful in her life.
She spotted the stone floating in the middle of the room. Walking over to it she saw that she was standing in a large spiral marking. The stone floated into the spiral, causing it to light up.
Suddenly the whole room began to rumble and quake, “Woah! What the-!”. Just then the spiral fell into darkness, leaving Sapphire with nothing to stand on. “... Uh oh.” Sapphire fell down the long hole screaming at the top of her lungs, then she landed with a loud 'THUD', on her stomach, knocking the wind out of her.
“Oooooooh, that.... really hurt.” she groaned.
She slowly got her feet and gazed at the room. There were four light hanging from the ceiling. There were some pillars with animal carvings and pictures engraved in them. At the end of the room sat a small podium with an item floating above it. It was a scepter. It had a yellow staff and mount with a circular jewel with the mark of a paw in the center. “The Animal Scepter!” Sapphire slowly walked up to the podium and took the scepter off the podium. The jewel glowed brightly in her hands and lines of it's magic slithered up her arm and into her body. She felt a rush of power rush through her body and her eyes flashed for a second. "Woah." she gasped.
The tranquil moment was ruined when… “Nice staff, ranger.” a menacing voice stated. Sapphire gasped in horror and turned around. She saw Marla, Bronc, Keto and Prospector slowly walking towards her threateningly.
“W-What are you doing here?” she asked nervously.
“Why else?” Keto replied. “For the Scepter.”
“Hand it over missy, and no one gets hurt.” Prospector threatened. Sapphire held the scepter tightly and backed away from the villains until she was against the podium. “Just hand over the staff, ranger.” Marla added.
“N-Never!” Sapphire tapped her morpher, ready to morph. “Not so fast!” Bronc fired his laser eyes at the morpher, causing it to explode and fall to the floor, completely destroyed! She gulped nervously. “Uh-oh.”
“Oh yes.” Bronc snickered. “Since you’re not giving us the scepter willingly, we’ll have to take it by force.” The villains were only a feet away from Sapphire when…
“Comet Trail... Fire!”
The villains were hit and sent flying back. “Guys!” Sapphire cried happily. The rangers leapt down from the ceiling in front of Sapphire.
“Are you okay, Sapphire?” Sunset asked.
“I am now,” she responded. “but my morpher isn’t.” She pointed to the destroyed morpher. “Don’t worry, we’ll protect you.” Rainbow promised.
“That’s a promise you won’t be able to keep.” Keto snarled. The villains stood up again and charged the rangers. The rangers charged the and brawled.
Marla battled with Buddy and Sunset, punching and kicked them hard, and while they blocked her attacks with their arms and legs, she tripped them up with her long hair. “Have a nice trip?” she teased, and then she launched her nails at them. The two rangers barely managed to roll out of the way, but as they looked ahead, they could see Prospector…!
“Give it up missy.” Prospector demanded. Sapphire backed away in fear.
Rhymey and Fluttershy saw the monster and dashed for him, “Oh, no you don’t!” Keto sneered, and he raised his staff shouting, “Surge Song!” casting his mugic upon himself, his comrades and Prospector, increasing their strengths and speed.
“Nice!” hissed Marla, and she punched Buddy and Sunset hard in their chests making sparks fly.
Bronc blasted Rainbow hard and Keto took one swing of his staff, like a bat, and sent Rhymey and Fluttershy soaring off and crashing onto the ground.
“Guys..!!” Sapphire cried. Just then, Marla wrapped her up in her hair, forcing her to drop the staff. “No! The scepter!” She cried.
The villains chuckled and Keto approached it, “This scepter is as good as ours!” he declared.
“Not good!” Sunset cried.
However, when Keto touched the scepter, it shocked him with high voltage of electricity, sending him flying back and the into Marla, freeing Sapphire.
“Watch it!” She yelled.
“It’s not my fault!” Keto retorted, “the thing shocked me!”
“Umm, Guys.” Bronc said, pointing at the scepter, which was now floating in the air and glowing. “What’s going on?” Lightning asked. None of the others knew what was happening.
The scepter floated into Sapphire hand and made her glow as well. “Let’s see what this baby can do!” She exclaimed.
She pointed the scepter at the villains and a Falcon spirit burst from the orb and ruthlessly slashed the villains with its wings, sending them into the wall. “Awesome!” Rainbow cried. The spirit opened it mouth and launched a blue beam of energy at the villains, damaging them more. “Ugh! I’m leaving!” Keto said.
“Us too.” Marla and Bronc added in unison. The minions teleported at the last second. "Hey, what about me?!" Prospector cried. He beam got closer and Prospector was hit. He exploded and was imprisoned in a capture sphere.
“Alright Sapphire!” Buddy cried. The spirit squawked, vanished and Sapphire stopped glowing and felt extremely exhausted. She closed her eyes and collapsed on the ground.
“SAPPHIRE...!!!”
Sapphire's eyes fluttered open and she was eight blurry figures in front of her.
"Is.... be.... alright?"
"I'm....she.... fine... shy."
“.... he.... wak..... up.”
Her vision cleared and she saw the rangers, Celesto and Twilight looking at her. “Hey sleepy head.” Sunset said, “how are you feeling?”
Sapphire groaned and sat up, holding her aching head. “A little woozy. What happened?”
“You used the Scepter and trashed the monsters!” Rainbow exclaimed.
“But you collapsed afterwards.” Lightning added.
“Why?” Sapphire asked.
“It was because, after using it for the first time , it left you really weak. It’s like your guys Able-Boost.” Twilight started.
“So she will have to use the scepter as a last resort then?” Rainbow asked.
“Not quite.” Twilight quickly added. “The more times she uses the scepter, the less tired she’ll feel, eventually she can use the scepter and infinite amount of times.” She looked and saw the scepter was sitting on a table not far from her. “Looks like you have some training to do, Sapphire.” Fluttershy said. Sapphire looked a little nervous.
“Don’t worry, we’ll help you,
You’ll master your scepter through and through.” Rhymey reassured.
Sapphire gratefully smiled at her friends. “Thanks guys.” Suddenly, everybody heard a gurgling sound, they looked at her, who had an embarrassing expression on her face while holding her empty stomach.
“Umm... excuse me.” she said, sheepishly.
The friends giggled. “Let’s get you something to eat. Sounds like you’re starving.” Sunset suggested. “Okay.” With that, everybody went out for dinner.
It's been two days since Sapphire recovered it from the temple in the Amazon Rainforest. Now, she and the rangers were at Celesto’s mansion to help her train with her Animal Scepter. Rhymey and Fluttershy set up four targets about ten feet from her. The others and all of the adults were watching from the side.
“Okay Sapphire, blast these targets with your staff.” Celesto stated.
“Yes, sir.” Sapphire replied. "Falcon Slash! Lion Pounce!" A falcon and male lion spirit came out of the orb and slashed all the targets in half. “Awesome!” cried Rainbow.
The spirit returned to the orb.
Sapphire fell to her knees, breathing heavily. Her friends came to her side, instantly. “Sapphire! Are you okay!?” Lightning asked.
“Yeah.” she replied, having caught her breath, “I’m okay.”
“Excellent work, Sapphire. I’ve monitored the energy being emitted every time you summon an animal spirit.” Twilight said. “It’s more powerful than the rangers’ Star Slammer!”
The rangers were amazed by this but Sapphire was still looking down. “Sapphire, what’s wrong?” Sunset asked.
“I still can’t use the scepter without barely passing out.” She complained, “I’ll never be able to fully use it in battle.” The friends knew that she was very discouraged with this situation. “Yes you will Sapphire. It just takes time.” Buddy replied.
“I agree,
You’ll master it in one, two, three.” Rhymey reassured.
Sapphire smiled at her friends. Suddenly the jewel on Celesto’s cane and the rangers morphers began to glow red, meaning there was danger a foot! “What now?” Lightning asked. Vice-Principal Luna came running towards the group. “There’s a monster in the park!” She cried.
“Let’s go!” Sunset called. The others agreed and dashed off to the park.
The monster was trapping people in thick globs of jelly. It had a jelly-like body with thick arms and legs. His name was Stickster. “”This is fun!” he cried.
“Fun’s over!” Stickster turned around and saw the rangers, morphed and ready to battle.
“Like moths to a light.” Stickster sneered.
“Let’s those people go now!” Lightning yelled.
“Never! Lingoes! Attack!” At his command an group of Lingoes came forth and charged the rangers. The ranger broke through the Lingoes, leaving them to Sapphire while they fought Stickster.
They punched and kicked him, however, Stickster skillfully blocked every attack and punched them back.
“Eat this!” he called and laughed five separate globs of jelly at the rangers, trapping them.
“He’s got us!” cried Rainbow.
Lightning tried to wiggle out, “It’s too thick. I can’t move!” Sapphire defeated all the Lingoes and saw this. “Oh no!” she cried.
Meanwhile at the base, Twilight and Spike saw everything on the monitors. “Now what?” Spike asked.
Twilight tried to send them a signal to their morphers but it failed, “That jelly is blocking the Able-Boost signal!” she cried. “Without it they can’t break free.”
“What about Sapphire?” Krysta asked, “she’s still free.”
“Right, but she can’t use scepter, it’s too risky.” Twilight stated.
“Let’s just wait and see what happens.” Celesto replied.
Stickster started to walk towards the rangers, preparing to the kill! “Say goodbye rangers!”
“What do we do?” Fluttershy whimpered.
Suddenly...
“Leopard Slash!!” a ghostly leopard came and slashed Stickster, sending him flying and it clawed the jelly, freeing the rangers.
“Mercy me,
We are free!” Rhymey cried.
“But how?” Buddy asked.
“Look!” Sunset cried, pointing at Sapphire, who had her scepter held high. The spirit roared and returned by to the orb. Sapphire fell to her knees again in exhaustion. Stickster got up and snarled, “You’ll pay for that, ranger!” He launched a blob of jelly at Sapphire.
“Oh,
No!” Rhymey cried.
“Sapphire! Look out!” Rainbow cried.
Sapphire looked up and tried to move, but using the staff made her too weak and was trapped in the jelly. The force made her drop her scepter.
“NO!” Sunset cried.
“HAHAHAHA!” Stickster laughed. He approached the trapped ranger. “Now Let’s take you to the boss.”
“Get him!” Sunset called. The rangers rushed towards him but he teleported away with Sapphire. “Ugh! He got away!” Lightning grunted.
“With Sapphire.” Buddy added. Sunset walked over to Sapphire's scepter and gripped it tightly.
Sapphire knew that using the scepter would make her vulnerable to attack but she did it anyway and saved her friends but she wasn’t caught in the process. She basically sacrificed herself for her friends.
“Come on, let’s get to the base!” Lightning stated.
The others agreed and rushed to the jump-tube. Entering the base, Celesto greeted them. “Are you okay, rangers?”
“We’re okay sir, but we have to find Sapphire and fast!” Lightning stated.
“Before those creeps do who knows what to her.” Rainbow added.
“On it!” Twilight said. While Twilight tried to track Sapphire, the others silently prayed that she was okay.
Stickster had brought Sapphire to the forest near Canterlot High, where Vulcan and his minions were. “Excellent work, Stickster!” Vulcan exclaimed.
“Thank you, master.” Stickster replied.
“Now we’ll finally get rid of this pest!” Marla added.
“Wait!” Nacluv said, “Why destroy her, when we can just steal her magic and use it for ourselves?”
The minions and Stickster liked that idea, but Sapphire didn’t. “And I’ve got the perfect machine to do it.” Bronc added. Sapphire gulped nervously. “Please hurry, guys.”
Back at the base, Twilight was still attempting to track Sapphire. “Anything yet, Twilight?” Celesto asked.
“Not yet, sir.” She replied.
“Oooh. I hope she’s okay.” Fluttershy said.
“Don’t worry, we’ll find her soon,
Before she meets her doom.” Rhymey reassured.
“I hope you’re right, buddy.” Lightning added.
“Guys! I found her!” Twilight cried.
“Where is she?” Rainbow asked.
“She’s at the forest near the school.” she replied.
“Come on guys, Let’s go get our friends back!” Rainbow stayed. Everybody cheered in agreement and headed towards the jump-tubes.
Sapphire was still struggling to get out of the jelly while the villains chuckled. “You’re wasting your time, Animal Ranger.” Marla sneered.
“Time to take your magic. Keto.” Vulcan stated.
Keto nodded and approached Sapphire. She gulped nervously, ”I’m doomed”
Suddenly, blasts came in, sending Keto flying back towards his comrades. “Who did that?” Vulcan bellowed.
The rangers landed in front of Sapphire, “We did!” Sunset called.
The monster growled frustrated while Sunset blasted the jelly and set Sapphire free. “Are you okay Sapphire?” Lightning asked.
“I’m okay, you guys.” she replied.
“Thank goodness you’re safe.” Fluttershy added.
“AGH! Stickster get them!” Vulcan bellowed.
Stickster nodded and charged the rangers while Vulcan and the minions teleported back to Prison Tower.
Stickster skillfully blocked the rangers attacks and punched and blasted them. Sapphire couldn’t morph because the jelly jammed her morpher, but she still had some tricks up her sleeve. She changed into a Jaguar and pounced onto Stickster. The rangers moved out of te way to give her some space. "Agh! Get off of me!" Stickster cried. Sapphire dug her teeth into his shoulder and slashed him with her claws covered in fire energy. "Agh!"
Sapphire wrestled Stickster to the ground and actually tossed him across the ground. "Amazing!" Rainbow said. Sapphire formed a large pulse of fire in her mouth and blasted Stickster. He started sparking, getting ready to exploded. However, before he could...
“Keto!” Vulcan stated.
“Yes master, FORTISSIMO!” He launched his mugic to Mystic Island and made Stickster grow. “Let’s get sticky!”
Sapphire growled and transformed next into her normal self.
“Launch Star Jets.” Sunset ordered.
“Summon Zords!”
“Comet Striker, Armor up!” Lightning shouted as he grew big and his armor encased him.
”Jet Star Megazord… Ready!”
“Comet Striker… Ready!”
“HA! Stay still!” Stickster said and he launched two large blobs of jelly at the Zords, trapping them.
“He’s got us!” Rainbow cried. The rangers pounded the controls and Lightning shook to get out but nothing worked.
Sapphire saw everything from the he ground. "Smilodon Zord, I choose you!"
The Zord burst from it's hiding spot and leaped onto the scene, beaming Sapphire into the cockpit. Stickster was approaching the trapped zords. “Time to end you rangers. he said.
“What do we do?” Fluttershy whimpered. Just as Stickster was about to blast them, a large stream of ice blasted him away from them. “Argh! Who did that!?” he demanded.
That’s when everybody was the Smilodon Zord standing in front of the trapped Zords. "You'll have to get through me if you want my friends." Stickster just laughed at the Zord. “That tin can is no match for me.” He launched multiple jelly blobs at the Zord but it fired ice energy at the blobs actually freezing them and they fell to the ground, breaking into multiple pieces on impact. "What?!"
Smilodon Zord growled and blasted Stickster hard with it's ice, knocking him to the ground.
The Zord then went to the trapped zords. “Don’t worry guys, I’ll get you out of there.” Smilodon Zord froze the blobs with it's ice attack nd slashed the blobs, breaking them and freeing the Comet Striker and Jet-Star Megazord.
“Alright Sapphire!” Buddy called.
“Now let’s finish him!” she added. Stickster whimpered at the sight of the three zords. Prepare for Star Blast Wave! Charging up…!”
The zord’s chest armor, arms and head all glowed brightly as pulsing flashes appeared.
“Energy Charge, Ready!”
”ULTIMATE ICE!”
The Smilodon zord roared and began charging Stickster, covering itself in massive amounts of ice energy.
“Whoa! Hey! You can’t do this to me!” cried Stickster
“Oh, yes the can…” hollered Lightning, “Do it, guys!”
With the energy systems charged, the rangers all shouted together,“STAR BLAST WAVE… FIRE!!” and at once… POW… the zord fired four major streams of energy combining it all into one big golden wave of power that coated the Zord, increasing its power ten-fold!
The Zord rammed Stickster, he exploded, shrank down and was captured in a sphere. “Monster Captured! Mission Complete!” Sunset declared. The Smiolodon Zord roared in victory.
Back at the tower, Nacluv and the minions were outraged. “ AGH! They beat us again!” Marla yelled.
“We’ve got to do something about them now.” Bronc said.
“We will, trust me. Those rangers will be sorry they messed with our business.” Vulcan stated. The minions looked forward to what Vulcan had planned.
When the rangers got back to base with their catch, “With Sapphire's battling skills, Vulcan doesn’t stand a chance now.” Rainbow said cockily.
“Oh, I wouldn’t say that entirely…” said Buddy “Much as I hate to say it, even Vulcan could be capable of finding ways to get at us. That’s why he doesn’t give up.”
The others all agreed, and promised to keep ever vigil for further attacks. "So, how's your scepter holding out?" Twilight asked.
"She's fine but I'm still gonna need training if I'm gonna use her in a battle fully." Sapphire replied.
"Don't worry, we'll help you. You'll be swinging that scepter like Sunset in no time." Rainbow encouraged. Sapphire grinned, "Thanks guys."
