Power Rangers Mystic Force: Celestial Wonders
Twenty years ago, in a magic-filled dimension parallel world to our own, the forces of darkness came into power and a war called the "Great Battle" between good and evil began. An army of the monsters, led by a powerful warrior named Morticon, swarmed into the land with their sights set on taking over the magical realm, the human realm and beyond, but they would have to combat a legion of brave and powerful wizards. The Mystics battled valiantly against overwhelming odds until they drove the evil back from the edge of the human world. The strongest wizard of all, Leanbow, cast a spell and sent the evil warriors into the Underworld, having the Gatekeeper seal the gates for all eternity. The forces of truth successfully thwarted the dark forces' attempt to take the surface world, but they lost Leanbow, as he made sure the evil forces did not escape by sealing himself on their side of the Gate. The human world would never know of the Great Battle, nor of the sacrifices made to spare their lives from destruction. Even to this day they live in peace and tranquility, totally unaware of what is about to awaken.
Also fighting this battle was powerful Mystic, the Solaris Knight: Daggeron. But during this great battle, an evil wizard named Imperious captured Daggeron's twin son: Helios and daughter: Celestina, in an attempt to harness their power of the sun and the moon for evil. Daggeron fought bravely to protect his children, but in the end he lost Helios to dark magic. To protect Celestina, Daggeron's faithful cat genie: Jenji brought Celestina to the human world to protect her, with the promise to reunite with her and her twin brother. But unfortunately, Imperious placed a curse on Daggeron, turning him into a frog, keeping him from fulfilling his promise to his children.
Celestina would grow up in the human world in the city of Briarwood as "Meryl Hawthorne", with no clue of her magical lineage. While Meryl loves her adoptive family, she can not help but feel she doesn't belong and that feeling only gets worse as she gets older. Meryl could only wonder who her birth parents could be. But despite these insecurities, Meryl would grow up to be a very optimistic, bright, positive young woman who believes in magic, even when others don't. Meryl would soon get a job Rock Porium Record Store where she would become close friends with her co-workers Charlie Thorn, Madison Rocca, Vida Rocca, and Xander Bly, and soon crosses paths with mysterious newcomer: Nick Russell.
The city was soon struck by an earthquake, which was just enough to crack the seal, allowing evil to renew its attempt to invade the earth. The sorceress: Udonna, realizing that the forces of evil had returned, sought out the warriors of legend, six teens living in Briarwood, to become the Power Rangers alongside her. While one of the teens was reluctant at first, he realized his destiny and joined the others in the fight against the Master of the Underworld and his numerous minions.
When Udonna loses her Ranger powers to the mysterious Koragg, who is later joined by powerful dark paladin and loyal follower to the Master: Thantos, it is up to the rangers, to save the Earth on their own. They are assisted by Udonna's bumbling apprentice Clare, and eventually Jenji the Genie and his master Daggeron, the Solaris Knight; who has a special connection to Meryl...
Using their powerful magic and incredible martial arts skills, the Mystic Force Power Rangers must rely on teamwork to save the day. Later, in a shocking surprise, it is revealed that Koragg is none other than Leanbow, the greatest and strongest of all wizards. They also discover that Thantos is Helios, Daggeron's son and Meryl's twin brother who was thought to have died, but was really overcome with the master's evil magic and was deceived into believing that Daggeron never loved him and only cared for Meryl/Celestina, so he would fight for the side of evil.
Follow the ranger's adventures as they fight to protect the world and restore humanity's faith in magic...

Author's Note: I bring you guys a brand-new Power Rangers story that has been in the works. This my take on Power Rangers Mystic Force. I got a great response from my Power Rangers Dino Charge story, I decided to write another one since Dino Charge is on HIATUS, right now. From the reviews that I got, it was definitely a tie between this story and an idea I developed for Power Rangers Samurai, but this one got the most reviews. Just like my other story, a lot of the chapters will be based on the episodes that aired and will also feature original chapters that I created myself.
This chapter, you will get some background on how Celestina/Meryl ended up in the human world with her adoptive family and what happened to her real family during the Great Battle between good magic and evil magic.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POWER RANGERS MYSTIC FORCE! I ONLY OWN CELESTINA/MERYL HAWTHORNE, MY STORYLINES, AND ANYTHING YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE!

Prologue: Do You Believe in Magic? (The Story of the Sun and the Moon)
In a far off dimension years ago, good magic was used all throughout the land. Wizards, witches, warlocks, sorcerers, and creatures of all kinds live in harmony. But unfortunately, this would not last. Dark magic began to take over the entire land, pitting good against evil. The Mystics, the descendants of good magic lead by the mighty Leanbow, fought valiantly to keep evil magic from being spread into the human realm.
Among the mighty Mystics was the powerful Solaris Knight: Daggeron...
Daggeron was in his small home in his village as his beautiful wife and sorceress of the moon: Illeana was cradling their twins: Helios and Celestina in her arms. Daggeron was ready to bid his farewells to his family as he was about to fight the war on evil. "Look at how beautiful they are" Illeana smiled as she cradled her newborn son and daughter.
"She has your smile" Daggeron smiled as Celestina smiled at her parents.
"Well, our young warrior has your eyes" Illeana smiled as Daggeron gently brushed the back of his hand on his son's cheek. Daggeron had a beautiful wife and his own family, and he was going to protect them with everything he had.
"Do you really have to leave?" Illeana asked her husband.
"You know I must. If I do not, evil will take over."
"I understand..."
"I have something for the little ones..." Daggeron smiled as he pulled out two necklaces from his pocket: an etched cobalt crescent moon pendant lined with flawless silver on a silver chain and a silver bursting sun pendant with center made of pure etched cobalt also on a silver chain.
Daggeron made these necklaces for his children, with special meanings behind them. Helios and Celestina were born on the first night of the Summer solstice, when the first lunar eclipse of that year happened. This in turn gave Helios and Celestina the power of the sun and the moon, just like their mother and father. Daggeron placed the bursting sun pendant around Helios's neck and then placed the crescent moon pendant around Celestina's neck.
"They're beautiful" Illeana smiled before Daggeron pulled one more pendant out of his pocket. The final pendant had the same crescent moon and bursting sun on his twins' pendants welded together, on a dainty silver chain. Daggeron placed the necklace around his wife's neck. This was Daggeron's way of keeping his family together and close to his heart while he was in battle.
"I love it, I love you, my Solaris Knight" Illeana smiled.
"I love you, to the moon and back" Daggeron smiled as kissed his wife's forehead. "I will return home when this is over..." as he gently kissed his children's forehead.
Illeana nodded her head as Daggeron reluctantly took a step back as he took out his solar cell morpher. "Magical source, mystic force!"
Daggeron became the mighty Solaris knight and was ready to aid his allies on the fight against evil. "Jenji!"
"Let's go kick evil butt, Solaris!" Daggeron's faithful cat genie exclaimed as Solaris Knight grabbed the golden lamp off the table and ran into battle. Daggeron found Jenji while on one of his journeys between dimensions. Since then, Jenji has been loyal to Daggeron and would protect his family.
"Be careful, my love" Illeana said quietly as she watched her husband leave to keep hope alive for good magic. As Daggeron ran off into battle, in the shadows, menacing cackles could be heard as something more nefarious was at work.
Once Daggeron left, Illeana placed her children in their cribs, as they have quickly fallen asleep. As Illeana watched over her sleeping children, the lunar sorceress had a lot of responsibility to shoulder. With her husband away, Illeana will do everything to protect her children as evil magic quickly spread over the land. As Illeana stood over her children, a cackle could be heard behind her.
Illeana, quickly turned around to see none other than Imperious, standing behind her. "The lunar sorceress. Let's see how powerful you really are..."
"Calindor..." Illeana stood firm, ready to protect her twins.
"I am now known as Imperious..." He cackled as Illeana stood her ground. Illeana was a strong sorceress, getting her powers from the moon. Illeana took out her wand, ready to show her former friend what she could do.
...
Meanwhile, Daggeron was in battle, fighting valiantly to keep evil magic from spreading into the human realm. Daggeron fought with courage, with the hope of reuniting with his family. With his trusty cat genie: Jenji by his side, Daggeron fought bravely, not knowing what was happening back in his home. As Daggeron fought the Hidiacs, the master's foot soldiers of the Underworld, Morticon taunted Solaris Knight, "Oh Solaris Knight, you don't stand a chance against the forces of evil. We will reign supreme!"
"You will not defeat us. Not as long as I am standing" Daggeron explained as he went toe-to-toe with Morticon.
"Well, if you are here, then who will protect your precious family..."
"What?"
"Imperious is at your home as we speak, with your beautiful wife and those twins of yours. With their magic, we will conquer all!" Morticon declared. This was Morticon and Imperious's plan all along. With Helios and Celestina's powerful yet untapped magic of the sun and the moon will make the army of the undead unstoppable.
Daggeron was caught off guard, as Morticon delivered a heavy blow, knocking Solaris Knight off his feet. As Daggeron tried to get to his feet, Morticon was off, fighting against the Mystics.
"Solaris!" Jenji exclaimed as he came to his master's side as he took him out of the line of fire.
"Imperious is at my home. I need to go back and save my family..."
"You can't! What if you're walking into a trap!" Jenji exclaimed, trying to knock some sense into Daggeron. Jenji could be right. If Daggeron was walking straight into a trap, he could not only lose his family but he couldn't fight against evil. Daggeron needed to have a plan.
"Jenji, I have a plan..." Daggeron said as he whispered something into the cat's ear.
...
"Illeana!" Daggeron shouted as he quickly ran back to his small home, only to discover the protection spell he had put up was down. He quickly ran inside to see his home, ransacked. "Illeana!" Daggeron shouted as he quickly ran to the nursery, to find his wife down as she slowly began to loose consciousness. "My love" Daggeron said as he held his wife in his arms.
"He was too powerful..." Illeana breathed out as she placed her pendant in her husband's hand. "Protect them..." as her eyes slowly closed, referring to Helios and Celestina.
"Illeana!" Daggeron exclaimed, shaking his wife. As Daggeron sat there, he heard someone cackle "She wasn't much of a challenge. The mighty sorceress of the moon was nothing but a weakling." Imperious came out from the shadows, ready to claim what he came here for, "Now, to get what I came here for, hand me the sun and the moon", referring to Helios and Celestina.
"Not a chance" Daggeron stood up as he held his wife's pendant in his hand, before placing it in his pocket. Daggeron quickly charged at Imperious, ready to fight to protect his children. Daggeron hit Imperious some strong jabs, as he quickly ducked underneath Imperious's blow. Daggeron fought bravely, but Imperious seemed to get the best of the Solaris Knight. Imperious managed to block one of Daggeron's roundhouse kicks, before delivering a strong blow to his midsection, knocking the knight off his feet.
Imperious walked over to the crib, to see Helios soundly sleeping as Celestina was crying loudly. "Megaro zanga meru douza..." Imperious chanted as he cast a spell over Helios first, since he was the most calm. The spell Imperious was using is very powerful and could only cast it on one child at a time. If he were to do it all at once, he would not have anymore magic to protect himself.
As Imperious cast the spell over Helios, Daggeron shouted "No!", but Imperious had already cast the spell over his son.
"Too late, Solaris Knight" Imperious cackled as a dark cloud of magic surrounded the child. "This child will succumb to the magic of the Underworld, now you will watch as I take your daughter along with your son!"
"No!" Daggeron shouted. "Finishio!" Daggeron casted a spell, teleporting Celestina to safety. Behind Daggeron's home, was Jenji, eagerly waiting for Daggeron. As Jenji stood there, Celestina magically appeared in Jenji's arms. "Celestina!"
With that, she started crying as Jenji began rocking her "Ohhh, quiet, or they'll find us" As Jenji tried to calm Celestina down, Hidiacs appeared. "Oh no! Gotta go!" Jenji exclaimed as he quickly ran to get Daggeron's daughter out of harm's way. Jenji had a duty to protect Daggeron's children and he was going to follow through on it.
Meanwhile, Daggeron was inside his home, ready to take his son back from Imperious's hold. "Where is the girl?!" Imperious shouted, knowing that the twins' magic is at it's peak when they are together.
"Somewhere you will never find her..." Daggeron said, cryptically as Imperious blasted a powerful spell at Daggeron. Daggeron quickly evaded as he quickly charged at the evil wizard.
Daggeron fought valiantly as he quickly took Imperious down as he went to check on his son. He looked inside the crib, and saw that Helios had a dark, soulless look in his eyes as a cloud of dark magic surrounded the young infant. Before Daggeron could cast a reversal spell on his son, Imperious stood up and casted a spell "Vistran, Ribito..."
Daggeron soon felt this strange presence overcome him and he turned into a frog. Imperious cackled as he and Helios, transported to the Underworld, "Luthaar..."
Meanwhile, Jenji quickly ran throughout the forest, trying to find a safe place to leave Celestina. "Excuse me, out of the way!" Jenji exclaimed as he ran with Hidiacs on his tail. As Jenji ran, he noticed an opening to the human realm. Knowing there was nowhere safe for Celestina in the magical realm because of the looming war between good and evil, there was only one place safe for his master's daughter: the human realm.
Jenji jumped into the opening into the human realm. Jenji quickly scrambled to find a safe place for Celestina. Jenji placed Celestina against the base of a giant oak tree in front of a local church. "You'll be safe here, Celestina. Your dad will come get you! Jenji away!" Jenji exclaimed as he jumped through the portal back to magical realm.
As Jenji made it back to the magical realm, he was confronted by none other than Imperious, with Helios in his arms. "You mangy cat! Where is the girl?!"
"Girl?! I don't know what your talking about" Jenji said, trying to smooth talk his way out trouble. "Gotta go!"
"Not so fast, cat!" Imperious exclaimed before casting a spell on Jenji, transporting him to a far off cave.
"Where am I?! Solaris! Anyone!" Jenji screamed as he tried to escape from his lamp, only to discover that the top of his lamp was sealed off...
...
Back in the human world, young Celestina was crying as the morning mass began to let out. Although she was just a baby, Celestina could feel like she wasn't meant to be in this strange world. She felt so out of place. Celestina simply cried for her mother, her father, and for her twin brother. As Celestina cried, she saw this couple standing over her.
"Why are you here alone, sweetie" the young woman said, as she picked up the child in her arms.
"Someone must've left her here..." her husband said, as he gently brushed the back of his hand on her soft cheek, exactly like Daggeron did.
"Who would leave such a beautiful little girl here..." she said as gently moved her blanket to see the baby better and her eyes fell on the beautiful crescent moon amulet around the baby's neck.
"Her eyes are so beautiful..." the man said as he gazed into Celestina's bluish gray eyes. Celestina's eyes resembled that of the full moon.
As the young couple stood there with a baby in their arms, a voice yelled "Mommy! Daddy!"
They turned around to see their two boys. "Mommy, daddy who is that?" the younger boy asked, inquisitively.
"You're new baby sister..." the woman smiled.
"Do you think we can handle another child?" the man asked, a little worried. "Especially since we're expecting another one alone the way..." It turns out the young woman was pregnant and expecting another child.
"We can't just leave her alone..."
"Okay" the man said with a smile as the family left to show Celestina their home.
...
The war waged on in the magical realm as the Mystics fought hard to keep evil magic from spreading. While all hope seemed lost, a small legion of powerful wizards fought hard against insurmountable odds. These wizards drove the evil back from the edge of human realm, as the powerful warrior that lead the Mystics into battle helped seal the evil away with the help of the Gatekeeper. Good magic began to regain control, but at a great cost.
Back in the human realm, the young couple held Celestina in their arms after putting their other children to sleep. "It's a full moon out tonight" the young woman said as they got a clear view from their window. Celestina's pendant began to glow as she began to happily coo. Celestina was at her happiest when the moon was out.
"She really is beautiful" the man said as he tickled Celestina, causing her laugh.
"She is..." the woman responded, as he kissed her forehead. "What should we name her?"
"I love the name Meryl..."
"That's perfect."
"Do you think we can give her a good life? I mean, I was only expecting just one more kid" the man joked.
"Maybe this life telling us we can handle it. I mean, look at her. What parent would just leave a child all by themselves? It's... it's magic that we found her" the woman smiled as she gently caressed Celestina cheek as she cooed happily.
"I guess it is."
"We're gonna going to her a good life..."
"I hope we can..."
They kept Celestina close as they welcomed the little girl to the family. Celestina was now safe from the forces of evil, but there was no telling when or if she will ever go back to the magical realm or even if she will learn about her magical lineage. But now that danger is passed, Celestina is now safe. But one question remains: will Celestina learn who she really is and embrace who she is destined to become?
Author's Note: I know it's not exactly what happened to Daggeron, Jenji and Imperious on the show, but I wanted to change a few things so that I could get Celestina/Meryl incorporated into the story. Also, I know that Celestina/Meryl is only a baby right now, but what do you think about her character and the family that found her in the human realm? Do you like it? Not like it? So I can improve on her character for later chapters? All feedback and criticism is welcome.
Lemme know what you guys think of this chapter. I promise you guys the next chapter will be more exciting than this.
