Sapphire suddenly found herself in a light blue void with white, sparkling stars all around. "Where am I?" she asked.

"Hello Sapphire Sunlight." a majestic voice said.

She turned around and saw a sparkling purple Alicorn with a blue mane with purple and pink streaks in it.

"W-Who are you?" Sapphire asked.

"There's no need to be afraid. I am simply the messenger." the pony said. "I am here to tell you something."

"What?"

"You will discover more about yourself as time goes on. I will be keeping a eye on your progress." the pony explained. Suddenly the pony, burst into white light and Sapphire woke up in a shock. She caught her breath and she looked out the window at the afternoon sun. "Who was that?"

It was Tuesday evening in Mystic Island and the rangers were at Grandruler's manor having a nice dinner. "Hey Sunset, What are you going to do on the talent show on Thursday?" Lightning asked.

"Hmmm, I don't know." Sunset replied.

"Well, I'm gonna play my awesome guitar skills." Rainbow bragged. The rangers rolled their eyes at Rainbow's bragging.

"Sapphire, what are you gonna do?" Rainbow asked. Sapphire looked up from her plate with a sad expression. "Ummm. I.....don't think I'll enter." she replied.

The friends gasped in shock and confusion, "Not enter, why not?" Buddy asked.

"I don't have a talent to show." Sapphire replied.

"That can't be true! Sapphire, everybody has a talent." Lightning reassured.

"Everyone has a talent to show,
There are many things that you know." Rhymey added.

"Yea, you're good with your raptors. Maybe she could use that in the talent show." Rainbow suggested.

"She can't, Fluttershy is already good with animals. If she does that, it won't be that good or entertaining." Lightning objected.

"What about her magic?" Sunset wondered.

"Sunset, she still needs to train more with her magic." Celesto pointed out. Sunset sighed. "Well is she can't do that, then what can she do?"

Sapphire sighed. "I'm gonna go to bed, guys. Night." Sapphire walked upstairs, leaving her friends, feeling a little sad, for their friend.

Marla, Bronc and Keto were walking down the hallway of the Prison tower looking at all of the creatures inside.

"Too ugly."

"Too bulky."

"Ugh, Too lame."

"None of these monsters are useful!" Keto cried.

"They couldn't even beat the rangers' grandmothers." Bronc added.

"ENOUGH!" Vulcan yelled, scaring the minions into gaining their attention. They found him standing in the end of the hall. "I've found a monster that's sure to crush those pesky rangers." He opened the cell and a monster came out.

The creature resembled a large music book with a music note for a head. It's special ability was making loud, irritating music that would render its victims powerless. It's name was Singer.

"I'm at your service, Master Vulcan ." Singer said.

"Good. Now make those rangers pay for all the trouble they've caused me!" he ordered. "You've got it." Singer replied and teleported away.

The next morning, Sapphire and Sunset were in history class, their last class of the day. Lightning passed out a test to everybody and by the end of the class, everybody was done. "Pass your tests to the front please." Lightning called.

After the school bell rung, Sapphire was walking by herself when Nikki and the Jazzies came up to her. "Hey Sapphire, word is, that you're not participating in the talent show. Too bad, a nobody like you could never outshine me at anything." Nikki taunted. Amber and Dionne laughed at her. She tried her hardest not to cry, even with tears forming in her eye. "HEY!" The girls turned and saw Sunset and the rest of her friends walking behind Sapphire. "You leave her alone." Sunset said.

"And just so you know Sapphire is entering the talent show and she will win!" Buddy said.

Nikki scoffed and walked off with Amber and Dionne following. Sapphire turned to her friends, "But guys, I don't have a talent.”

"Sapphire, you do have a talent. You've just haven't found it yet." Sunset replied.

"Yeah. One day you'll find your talent." Rainbow added. Sapphire smiled. Suddenly, the rangers coms began beeping.

"Rangers there's a monster terrorizing downtown. Check it out!" Celesto said.

"Let's go!" Lightning said. The rangers dashed off to downtown and sported the monster. "Hey!" Sunset yelled.

"Ah. Looks like I've found an audience." Singer said. "And now for my owning act...Lingos attack!" Singer made Lingos appear and they charged the rangers.

"STARFLEET MAGIC....POWER ON!!!"

"Cosmic Comet....Power On!!!"

The rangers charged through the Lingos and attacked Singer. Singer blocked every attack they threw and blasted them.

"Time to sing." Singer declared.

Singer blasted out sound waves and the rangers stopped and dropped to the floor in pain.

"Ahhh! My ears!" Lightning cried.

"This....is...torture!" Rainbow added.

Sapphire's Element of Loyalty glowed and covered her in a red magic shield, protecting her from the music's affects. Singer laughed and blasted near the rangers sending them flying. “No! Guys!” she cried.

“Hey! How come you're not on the floor, ranger? No matter, I’ll just destroy you the old fashion way.” Before Singer could do anything, Sapphire turned into a falcon and launched flaming energy rings at Singer, blasting him away from the rangers. She swooped down, grabbed them and flew off. "No!” Singer cried in frustration. “Well they'll be back."

Back at the base, the rangers were resting their eardrums. "Man, his music is awful!" Lightning declared.

"It's like nails on a chalkboard." Buddy added.

"Ugh, Agreed." Sunset said.

“How come Sapphire wasn’t affected by his music?” Rainbow asked.

Twilight replayed the footage of the battle, "It looks like her Element somehow protected her from the monsters' music."

"How are we gonna beat him?" Sunset asked. Twilight came in with a scanned of the monster. "Guys. I found that the only weakness this monster has in smooth, gentle music."

"So, we have to sing something smooth and gentle to render his attack powerless!" Rainbow concluded. “Easy!”

"Only one problem....if you guys are fighting, who's going to be singing?" Spike asked. The rangers realized he was right. They can't sing and fight at the same time. That shot down Rainbow's enthusiasm. "Then what do we do?" Fluttershy asked. The rangers thought hard until Spike's ears perked up. "Spike what is it?" Krysta asked.

"I heard some....singing." Spike replied.

"Singing?!" The rangers repeated. Following Spike, the rangers traced the singing to the lab. The lab workers were absent. Inside they found an unlikely and amazing sight....

.....It was Sapphire singing a beautiful song:

As she was singing, everyone could see a string of magic coming out her chest. The string moved along the floor, creating flowers and plants, surprising everybody.

When she stopped singing, she heard clapping behind and quickly turned around and found her friends and Celesto looking at her. She immediately blushed with embarrassment.

"H-How long have you all been standing there?" she asked.

"Oh, just long enough to hear what a. amazing voice you have." Krysta complimented.

"Where did you learn that?" Lightning asked.

"One of the scientist sang it to me every night when I was younger. It helped me go to sleep." Sapphire replied.

"How'd make flowers grow with you singing?" Buddy asked.

"That's a new one for me." Sapphire replied.

"Maybe it's another power you unlocked?" Sunset suggested.

"That does make the most sense." Krysta agreed.

"Well, you've got a voice is smooth and gentle." Spike said.

Hearing that, Twilight suddenly cried, "THAT'S IT!" Her sudden shout frightened the rangers for a second. "What's it?" Sunset asked.

"If Sapphire sings while you guys are battling them, the monster will be powerless.” Everybody was on board with the plan, expect for Sapphire. "M-Me! Sing! Oh....I don't know. I-I never sang in front anyone before." she said. Sunset could tell that she was letting her shyness take hold. "Sapphire, you can do, you just have to close your eyes and sing." she added.

"That's it?" Sapphire asked and Sunset nodded.

"Okay. I'll do it!" Sapphire declared. The rangers cheered for joy. Now they had a new plan to take down Singer.

Meanwhile, in town, Singer was using his power to hurt people. They all fell to the ground, holding their ears.

He sighed irritably. "Ugh! What's taking them so long?"

"HEY!" a voice shouted. Singer turned and saw all the rangers running towards him fully-morphed.

"Ah, finally! Now, let's finish what we started." Singer said.

"Bring it!" Sunset countered. The rangers all charged Singer. Rhymey tired slashing him with his sword, but Singer blocked every attempt.

Buddy tried his whip, but Singer grabbed it and pulled Buddy towards him and punched Buddy, sending him flying back.

Sunset tried her scepter, but Singer blocked that attack as well. Sunset regrouped with the others.

"This guy's tough." Sunset groaned.

"Now, let's add some music to this show." Singer activated his sound waves and once again, the rangers fell to the ground in pain. Vulcan and his minions were watching via the monitors. "Finally, we'll get rid of the rangers for good!" Marla cried.

Singer approached the rangers, preparing for the final move. "Time to end you rangers." he said.

Suddenly,

"Hush little one and say good night,
Dream of two hearts side by side~"

"Huh, what is that horrible sound?" Singer asked. Singer turned and saw Sapphire walking towards her friends while singing. Her voice began to corrupt his soundwaves, freeing the rangers.

"No! You ruined my plan!" Singer cried.

Sapphire continued to sing, much to Singer’s annoyance.

"Hush little one and say good night,
Two stars shine as one tonight,
So make a wish and close your eyes,
And may your wish come true tonight~"

Singer tried to attack her, but the rangers blasted him with their weapons, "This isn't sounding good at all!" Singer said.

"Bring them together!" Sunset called.

"Hush little one,
Goodnight-"

“Weapons Combine…!”

“Star Slammer… Ready!”

Singer whimpered.

“STAR SLAMMER, ULTRA-STRIKE!” The blast hit Singer and he went up in a huge explosion. The rangers all rejoiced.

"Keto!" Vulcan called.

"On it! FORTISSIMO!!” Keto launched his magical Mugic out and off to Singer's aid…

.....Singer turned into a giant! "Time for an encore!" he thundered. The rangers all gawked. Sunset contacted the base, “Launch Star Jets!”

“Summon Zords!”

As the base, the jets were already well prepped up and launched at once through the tunnel.

The jets arrived near the beach in almost no time, and the rangers beamed into their cockpits. “Okay, let's end this creep's music career!” said Sunset.

“Zords Combine!”

“Comet Striker, Armor up!” Lightning shouted as he grew big and his armor encased him.

“Jet-Star Megazord… Ready!”

“Comet Striker… Ready!”

Once the megazords was fully mobilized, it was time to brawl. Singer charged at the rangers and the megazord tried slashing him but Singer blocked the attack and bashed the megazord. Lightning tried attacking from behind but Singer turned around and dodged him then kicked him, sending him rolling across the ground. Singer then punched the megazord again, rocking the rangers inside.

"This isn't working!" Sunset cried.

Lightning help the megazord to it's feet. "Keep trying!" Lightning replied. All the while, Sapphire watched from the ground. "I've got to help them, but how?"

Just then, she heard something coming towards her. Turning around, Sapphire was a large wolf Zord. It was green with white paws and a white tip at it's tail. "Woah, a Dire Wolf Zord." she gasped. The Zord howled and beamed Sapphire into the cockpit. "Alright big boy, let's fight!"

Lightning and the megazord were looking really beat up. Now they were laying on the ground to damaged and exhausted to fight back. "What are we gonna do?" cried Fluttershy. Singer snickered wickedly, "Time to end your careers, rangers." Singer rushed towards the megazords, ready for the kill.

"Watch out!" Rainbow cried. Suddenly, a blur bashed into Singer, knocking him away from the rangers. The rangers and Lightning looked and saw Dire Wolf Zord. "Leave my friends alone!" Sapphire yelled.

"Sapphire?!" the rangers exclaimed. Singer got back onto his feet, furious! "Your little dog's got nothing on me!" he sneered. Singer charged the Zord but it howled and leaped high into the sky, The Zord spun around and lasers came out of it's tail and hit Singer, exploding on impact. The Zord growled at Singer,

"HOWL PULSE!!!"

The Zord howled and a stream of rings came out of it's mouth, damaging Singer even more.

"Alright Sapphire!" Lightning cried.

“That’s the way!” Buddy added.

The Zord snarled and rushed at Singer, it leaped up and bit him with it's powerful, sharp teeth. Singer struggled to free himself, but it was in vain. Sapphire was getting rocked inside with all the shaking and turning. "Finish him you guys! Hurry!" she called, struggling to keep a tight grip.

“Tractor-beams, capture-mode, ready!” Sunset said.

“Tractor-beam Engage!”

“FIRE!!”

The megazord launched their beams at the weakened monster, at the last second the Zord released it's hold on Singer and leaped out of the way. It beam blasted him hard and actually shrinking him down. Singer was imprisoned and beamed into Sunset’s cockpit. “Monster Captured! Mission Complete!”

The rangers cheered and the Zord howled in victory.

At the tower, Vulacn was not happy with the minions. "You three never succeed in beating the rangers!" he thundered.

"It's not our fault, it's the prisoners and the pesky Animal Ranger!" Marla replied. Vulcan flared up, looking ready to fry them, when he suddenly calmed down, much to the minions relief. "Well, then... I'll just have to make an adjustment to the Animal Ranger then." The minions didn't know what he was talking about, but judging by the way he was laughing it would be bad new for Sapphire.

Back at the base, Sapphire spoke to the gang, “Guys, I think I’m gonna enter the talent show.”

“Really?” Rainbow said. "What made you change your mind?"

"I just thought I should a least try to sing for the talent show. If I can sing in front of my friends, then I can sing in front of a crowd of people." The rangers were happy Sapphire was going to enter the Talent Show.

That night, the talent show was in full swing! Lightning was in audience along with Celesto, Celestia and their babies.

As planned, Rainbow played her guitar, Buddy painted one marvelous painting and Rhymey and Fluttershy both did a small tap dance.

It was Nikki's turn now. She was wearing high heel shoes with a blue dress with sparkles and had a necklace around her neck.

Nikki sang a song about....well....herself.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5IeL_pctMMc

The crowd clapped for her and she went backstage where Sapphire was; she was wearing a white dress with pink and purple striped on it. "Beat that." Nikki taunted.

Sapphire gulped and took a deep breath.

"And now for our final performance give it up for Sapphire!" Twilight announced. Sapphire came out on stage and remembered what Twilight said and she started to sing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkcOrOBEdGg

Just like in the lab, a string of magic came out of Sapphire's chest and once again made flowers appear. The crowd gazed in awe as Sapphire continued.

She ended the song and the flowers disappeared. The crowd stood up and roared with applause, the rangers even shed some tears. All the competitors stood on stage, "And now the winner of the Canterlot High Talent Show is... Sapphire Sunlight!" Twilight announced. The crowd burst into applause and Sapphire was shocked that she won. Twilight came in front of Comet with a trophy reading "First place winner!" The other rangers came on stage and hugged Sapphire. “Way to go, Sapphire! You won!” Sunset cheered.

Sapphire blushed. “Yeah… I guess I did.”

Nikki, on the other hand, was far from happy, "What how could she have beaten me?" she asked.

"Well it could be that I'm not a self-absorbed diva..... like you." Sapphire replied.

Nikki gasped and nearly felt like fainting, and she did, right into Amber and Dionne’s arms.

“Oh, you are so going to rue the day you said that to us!” growled Amber.

“Totally.” added Dionne, and then she and Amber dragged their miserable leader away, much to the gang’s humor, and they shared a good laugh.
