Jungle Mystics
Nick glanced at his parents—Udonna and Leanbow. The three were passing through a small city called Ocean Bluff on the way home—to Briarwood. Nick grinned and Leanbow said, "Bowen. If you want, you can go on ahead. We all know how much you've missed Madison."
"Dad!" the teen whined.
Udonna grinned and said, "Behave, you two."
"Yes, Mom," Nick grinned sheepishly.
"Yes, love," Leanbow leaned over and quickly kissed his wife's cheek and then shared a sheepish glance with his son.
As they traveled, the family was attacked. Nick drove his motorcycle toward the attackers as Leanbow helped Udonna to her feet. Slamming the motorcycle into their attacks, Nick jumped off it and flipped through the air to his parents' sides.
He grabbed his morpher. "Ready?" he asked.
"Ready," both parents answered.
"Magical Source! Mystic Force!" the three cast the morphing spell.
"Well, well," Udonna, Nick, and Leanbow all heard a familiar voice say.
"Leelee?" Nick asked, fearing for his friend.
"I am Camille. Sent by Dai Shi to destroy the Light," the woman with Leelee's voice answered.
Udonna growled. "You'll never find him," she threatened.
Then five other figures arrived. "Let's do it," the boy in red yelled.
"Jungle Beast! Spirit Unleashed!" the five called.
Within minutes, it was chaos as Udonna and Leanbow tried to protect their son and watch each other's backs.
Nick glanced around. Everyone was holding up very well. Then Camille disappeared, crying out, "I'll be back! And I will destroy the Light!"
Udonna glanced at her husband, who, under his helmet, had become very pale. "Power down," the two murmured.
"Power down," Nick repeated the phrase.
"Power down," the new arrivals repeated.
"Let's get out of here," Nick said, looking for a tree. Udonna nodded but Leanbow blinked when he saw who the man in purple was.
Leanbow shook his head and said, "We stay. That Camille woman will come after us again. Contact the others."
Nick nodded and Leanbow said, "RJ, old friend, remember me?"
"It can't be… Leanbow?" RJ gasped.
"How do you know each other?!" Nick, Udonna, and the other rangers asked.
"We were in Pai Zhua together," RJ began.
"RJ did become a Master, I didn't, because I chose to learn to master my other abilities," Leanbow answered.
"Surely, by now, you're a Master," RJ replied.
Nick threw up his hands and said, "Great, you two are friends. Where are my friends are supposed to meet us? And can we finish this discussion there?"
Udonna nodded in agreement. "Jungle Karma Pizza," RJ ordered.
Nick nodded and said, "Guys, I can't come back to Briarwood. Come to Ocean Bluff. Bring Daggeron—and maybe Clare. Meet me at Jungle Karma Pizza."
The eight warriors swiftly retreated to Jungle Karma Pizza, where they were greeted by the rest of the Mystic Force.
