Winding Down

[morphmasters]

Finally, by hook or by crook, King Zod falls. The Rangers are given approximately five seconds after the battle to recuperate before they are teleported back to the Hexagon immediately. Alpha approaches them, buzzing with excitement.

"You did it, you really did it! Congratulations, Rangers, on your first success in battle! But before you go, I have a few more things to explain to you."

If they're willing to stay and listen, they will hear the rules: "There are three rules every Ranger must follow. You must never use your new power for personal gain, you must always keep your identity a secret, and you must never escalate a battle beyond what is necessary. The second rule is the most important at this point---the Rangers before you were easily killed when the enemy discovered their identities. If possible, don't morph where anyone can see you."

Alpha continued on. "This is a desperate situation, so feel free to use as much force as you feel is necessary. But always be mindful of the people around you. Don't destroy buildings unnecessarily."

When all of that was explained, he shook each of their hands. "Each of you will receive free room and board here for the time being. The city of Angel Grove is yours to explore, though you should keep a low profile. Just go to the port room when you want to teleport out, and tap your communicator when you want to come back. You will each receive a message on your communication devices when you are needed to fight."

When he checks to ensure that everyone has some form of communication device, he dismisses them to explore the greater Hexagon: training facilities, a mess hall, the library of records, the memorial hall...it's all fairly empty, giving it an eerie atmosphere. The port to Angel Grove is now active as well.

G laughed, now looking down on the pony. "You're delusional! You're really gonna take their word for it? That we can go back home once we're done doing their dirty work? What if while you're here playing along to cops and robbers, you're world is in the midst of destruction? You already said that you're so called friends need you there to make the magic happen right? If a threat was to befall you're world right now? You'll be going back to a graveyard."

His words were harsh but there was no malice behind them, Nightgale had faced the harsh realities of the world in the worst possible ways, she knew how bad it could get and how hopeless it could be to hope. That's not to say she believed in giving up. No, on the contrary, she believed in doing what you had to to come up ahead and win.

"Stop worrying about others when you can't even help yourself or your world. Think about where you are and what's going on. Right now we're pawns to this sick game, taken from wherever we were to help these people who had already lost. We have no choice according to them but there always is a choice, it's just about what you make of it. But you keep on bucking blindly all you want, just don't say I didn't warn ya to keep an open mind and stay alert to everything."

"Life's all we've got, is all I'm saying," Applejack whispered, hanging her head as she pulled away. She wouldn't believe that of the world, she couldn't. It couldn't be that terrible.

"Heh, simple minded. I suppose that has it's own merits too. Focus on what's in front of you and all that shit. That's fine."

They do say ignorance is bliss too and who knows, maybe it'll help the little pony through this thing.
