Part 2 of the Spectrum Shift.
Following their successful first battle against the Shadow Monster, the Mane 5 have been guided by the ethereal voice of Commander Zenith to a newly revealed, hidden chamber beneath the Brighthouse, connected to the five crystal pedestals that hold the Unity Crystals. The ponies have de-morphed and stand in their original forms.
Sunny:This place was here all along?
Sunny is looking around the ancient chamber as Hitch is looking at his Primal Morpher, now just a dull bracelet on his foreleg.
Hitch:And these things? The voice said they were powered by the "Primal Grid."
Voice:Indeed. The Primal Grid is the foundation of all harmony in Equestria. And the Unity Crystals are your access points.
Izzy:traces a glowing line of energy on the wall.
Izzy:It all feels so... magical and sci-fi at the same time!
Pipp tries to take a selfie with the largest Unity Crystal.
Pipp:So,who are you mysterious voice? Are you a king? A knight? An ancient space pony?
Twilight:You could say all of the above, in a way. My friends called me Twilight Sparkle. Princess Twilight Sparkle.
The Mane 5 are in awe, some bowing respectfully.
Sunny:Princess Twilight Sparkle? The Princess of Friendship? But... we thought the magic you held was all channeled into these crystals!
Twilight:It was. And it is. When the three tribes were separated, I poured my essence and all the remaining magic of harmony into this chamber and the crystals, ensuring that when the time was right,a new generation of heroes could access the power of the Primal Grid to defend Equestria. My physical form faded long ago but my spirit lives on within this system,guiding you.
Hitch:So the Primal Morphers are connected to the Unity Crystals themselves?
Twilight:Yes. Each of you channels the pure energy of your tribe, amplified and focused through your morphers, drawing power directly from the crystals. But you are missing a piece. A crucial sixth piece.
Misty stands near the entrance of the chamber, listening silently. She is wearing a plain gray bracelet, a simple gift from Izzy, on her foreleg.
Zipp:A sixth piece? Who?
The lights in the chamber turn to Misty. She flinches under the attention.
Misty:MISTY Me? No, I can't be. I helped Opaline! I'm not a hero like you guys.
Opaline's voice echoes menacingly from the crystals themselves, momentarily making the chamber dark.
Opaline's voice:You are a tool, Misty! A failure! You will never be one of them!
Misty shrinks back, tears welling up. Sunny stepped forward as she put a hoof on Misty's shoulder.
Sunny:Opaline's wrong. You chose friendship. You chose good. That makes you just as much a hero as any of us.
Twilight nodded through her Hologram as she smiled.
Twilight:Harmony requires all six elements: Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty... and the magic that binds them all. Misty, you embody the courage to change, the purest form of magic there is.
A shimmering purple beam of light shoots from the main Unity Crystal and envelops Misty. The gray bracelet on her leg transforms into a Primal Morpher, identical to the others, but purple. Misty stares at it, stunned.
Misty:I... I have one too?
Twilight:You are the final Primal Ranger. The Purple Ranger. Your courage completes the team.
The six ponies stand together, their morphers glowing faintly. A new sense of unity washes over them.
Hitch:The Primal Rangers. I like the sound of that.
Sunny:Then let's get ready. Opaline is still out there and I have a feeling the Shadow Monsters are just the beginning.
The ponies look at each other, their determination shining brightly, ready to face their destiny as a complete team of heroes.
