Summary: Nothing lasts forever. Good always wins and evil always returns. Or so the Mystic Force Rangers hope as they fall prey to having to defend the human and magical realms, chasing down the Light Source, a magical being unknown to anyone, but coveted by all.

Dawn of Darkness

Leloa sat with her legs curled neatly to her side. The glow from the opened Xenotome warmed her face like a dancing campfire. Her chamber room within Rootcore was dark and for good reason. Leloa did not want to be disturbed nor did she want to be discovered having coveted the Xenotome.

She pulled a loose strand of her hair behind her pointed ear. In a long inhale, she prayed; please let this have the answers I need. Leloa exhaled and opened her eyes. Magically inherit, the story rose to life, the words taking form in front of her as a young woman with raven hair began to speak, telling a story for an audience of one. And so, the woman began . . .

They had defeated the Master . . .

The Mystic Force Rangers are surrounded by friends, both magical and non magical.

Peace was supposed to reign from then on . . .

Nick gives Madison his baby blanket for safe keeping.

Claire is studying her magic skills.

Vida is showing Matoombo how to be a DJ.

But another evil has emerged, more sinister than the last . . .

"We need to find the Oracle. The Mystic Mother has something very important that requires his services, Jenji," Daggeron insists to his loyal friend. Daggeron, Jenji, and Phineas walk away, creating more and more distance between them and their home.

Buried pasts will come back to haunt those who thought them dead . . .

Two handsome, young, pale men stand before a grey, regal man. The cave's chamber is dark, only illuminated by some candles. Kneeling in respect, the redheaded man addresses their leader. "We have found your daughter, Leelee, your highness."

Doubts within themselves and each other will be spawned from the darkest shadows . . .

The sun sets as Chip finishes up the last of his knight training alone. A blur of lethal black passes in his peripheral vision. The yellow ranger whirls about in its direction. Again! The creature was faster than Chip's eyes could lock on. Thud! Chip breathes in hard as the last thing he sees is a pair of leather boots.

Promises will be made and broken . . .

Madison and Nick are standing outside of Rootcore, the rain teeming in ways neither has ever seen. "Madison what are you saying?" Nick asks.

"I – I've moved on, Nick. I'm sorry. I couldn't wait."

Slack jawed, Nick suddenly flares with blazing anger as raindrops sizzles on contact. Madison's back is already turned as she runs to the oak tree.

Choices never dreamed of will have to be made . . .

"I don't want to talk about it."

Vida follows Madison from her room to her sister's. Vida slams the door behind her, resulting in Madison turning around to face her. Madison glares at Vida, frightening the pink ranger. "What?" Madison asks voice tinted with desperation. Her hands are on her hips, waiting for her sister to answer.

"You can't do this to them. I don't really care either way. But, you have to choose, Nick or Ben."

Enemies will become friends . . .

"No, Vadeem," Vida shakes her head for emphasis. "You're taking me to Blood Thirst Caves." The blonde man nods slowly.

As friends become enemies . . .

"We heard you, Vida!" Xander's face is red.

"Obviously not, seeing as everyone is so focused on this Light Source who we're completely clueless about!" Everyone is surrounding the two squabbling rangers.

"That's what we're trying to understand. Fate of the world rests in finding it . . . her . . . him!"

"And what about our friend, Xander?" Vida says with a shaky voice. "Do we just let our friend die?"

Revelations will arise from what was long thought to be ashes . . .

Tumbling onto grey soot, Madison slowly picks herself up as Ben also stands. "Where are we?" Ben asks, rubbing the back of his head.

Madison gasps, recognition finally coming to her. "We're in the Underworld."

Old will meet new . . .

Nick listens, almost feeling as if he is watching the scene from far away.

"I glimpsed the successor of mine before my time ended – I saw an image of the Light Source for which you search," the original pink Mystic Ranger informed.

Wills will be tested . . .

Pacing in a small cage, Toby can't stand it any longer. The record shop owner demands, "What do you have planned for us?"

Imperious laughs, "Well, I guess I can tell you. You're only going to die anyway. I'm going to use your life force to bring back the Terrors. Then I will be able to truly conquer all the realms."

And to win this battle, the forces of Good will have to be willing to make the ultimate sacrifices . . .

Clare, in her gatekeeper garb, feels her body weaken as her life force drains from her. She looks around at all the caged creatures. I won't be able to save them all.
