Lucinda and the others ran through the woods then they ended up at a destroyed village.

"Oh no" Lucinda gasped.

"Who are they?" Xander asked looking at the village people.

"I should have known you wouldn't stay at Root Core; especially you Lucinda, I'm disappointed" Udonna frowned at her daughter and Lucinda had her head down in defeat not daring to look at her mother.

"It wasn't Lucinda's fault" Xander spoke up.

"Yeah, she just followed us to stop us" Vida said.

Lucinda looked at her new friends and smiled them a "thank you".

"What happened here?" Madison questioned.

"Woodland Village was destroyed" Udonna answered, "Tomorrow it will be another village. The darkness destroys everything in their path until they find what they want"

"What are they looking for?" Chip asked.

""Me and Lucinda" Udonna answered, "And then they will go after you"

"That's why you wanted us to stay at Root Core" Lucinda said.

"Hold on just a sec" Nick interjected, "I-I never agreed to be part of this"

"It is them! It is them!" A woodland creature shouted, "The protectors are here! Hail the Mystic Force!"

All of the woodland creatures bowed down to the 5 teenagers. All of a sudden a huge monster came up behind them and the woodland people fled to safety.

"Take out your wands!" Udonna told the teens.

"Uh, we kind of left them back at the tree" Chip admitted.

"Alright, stand back" Udonna ordered, "You leave me no choice"

"Mom, be careful!" Lucinda exclaimed at her mother.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" Udonna transformed into the White Mystic Ranger.

"Now that's cool" Vida said in awe.

Everyone was watching Udonna fight the big monster then all of a sudden more creatures surrounded them.

"Guys, we have company" Nick pointed out.

"Well I see that we have two choices, we surrender and be destroyed" Chip suggested.

"Or fight?" Madison asked.

"We fight" Nick said with determination.

"I hoping for some action" Lucinda admitted while getting into fighting position.

"Oh no no no no" Xander stopped Lucinda, "There is a third option, Plan Xander, I'll just reason with them" Xander began walking towards the creatures but Lucinda grabbed his arm.

"I highly suggest that you don't go over there, I've read about these creatures, they are not going down easily" Lucinda warned him.

"Don't worry, I got this" Xander winked at Lucinda.

"Your funeral" Lucinda muttered under her breathe.

"Can't you use magic to get rid of them?" Madison asked me.

"When it comes to a fight I prefer not to use magic, only when it's really necessary there is more honor that way" Lucinda told her. "Plus it's good training for all of you"

"Hi, I'm Xander" Xander spoke to the creatures, "We're not really from these parts, eh. So if it's okay with you, we'll just be heading off in another direction"

A creature then pushed Xander towards the others and Lucinda caught his arm.

"Please don't say I told you so" Xander told Lucinda.

"Come on, we have to fight" Lucinda said then a blast came from behind the others knocking them to the ground. The creatures came from all directions. Lucinda and the others began fighting in defense. Lucinda conjured her sword and dodged the creatures attacks perfectly. While still fight the giant monster Udonna paused real quickly and looked at the teenagers being thrown like rag except for her daughter who was fighting exceptionally as she cut down her opponents. Still worried about the others Udonna took action quickly.

"In order to use magic you must believe in it! Believe in magic!" Udonna shouted.

As Chip was being pushed against a tree he heard what Udonna had said, "What did she say? Believe? Well I do believe! I believe in magic!"

The creatures were about to attack Chip again but strikes of lightning coming out of Chip's body stuck those creatures down in defeat. Xander was knocked to a tree ready to give up he said he believed and vines attacked the creatures in force. Madison was the next to believe and water sprouted from the ground like geyser defeating her opponents. Vida repeated over and over that she believed in excitement, she then turned into a tornado. She thought that it was coll but she hated the color. Nick was the next to believe but he didn't mean it. Lucinda took down the last creature she was fighting and saw Nick in trouble. Lucinda ran towards him and conjured a spell that froze the creatures in their place.

"Dissiliunt!" Lucinda then conjured a spell to blow up the creatures in a bright violet light.

Lucinda walked up to Nick offering him a helping hand and Nick took it as she helped him up.

"Thanks" Nick said rubbing his neck in pain.

"No problem" Lucinda said and conjured her sword away.

Udonna powered down and looked at the teenagers and her daughter, "Well well, very nice. You truly are the ones, and Lucinda I've underestimated you, my daughter"

Lucinda ran up and hugged her mother, "Thank you"

Udonna smiled as they broke free from the hug and she looked at the others, "Are you up to the task? Are you now ready to accept you legacy?"

Chip was the first to respond, "Oh, yeah! Bring it on!"

"I'm in!" Vida exclaimed with enthusiasm, "I kicked some serious evil back there!"

"This is so unlike me, but I'm- I'm sticking with my sister" Madison said,

"Someone's got look after these guys, right?" Xander said then looked at Lucinda giving her a wink.

Lucinda rolled her eyes then giggled to herself, Everyone then looked at Nick to see if he was willing to be a Ranger too.

"Me?" Nick asked while brushing himself off, "No way. I'm out of here"

Udonna walked up to Nick with the others behind her, "Are you sure this is what you choose?"

"Look-" Nick stopped her, "The 'I believe in magic' thing didn't work out her me"

"Try believing again" Madison said trying to be positive, "Maybe it didn't catch on the first time?"

"He is a nonbeliever" Lucinda said with her arms crossed.

"I can do nothing for him" Udonna said with a shake of her head, "Clare will see you out of the woods safely. Clare!"

"Here I a-a-am!" Sheep Clare came through the woods.

Lucinda immediately gave Clare a glare that read "Do not tell my mother!"

"Oh my dear child," Udonna chuckled, "When will you get your spells right?"

The others looked at each other because they knew it was really Lucinda who casted the spell.

"See him safe passage out of the woods" Udonna gestured to Nick.

"Yes, Udo-o-onna" Sheep Clare said.

Udonna gave a facial gesture to Nick to follow Clare and he started to follow Clare out of the woods. Just as Udonna and the others believed that the worst was behind them they were approached by someone in a purple wolfish armor.

"You may have defeated my Hideaks, but you will not defeat me" The armored warrior pulled out his sword from his shield ready to battle, "Wolf Attack!"

Dark magic came from the shield but Lucinda had thought quickly and casted a spell.

"Vis Agri!" A force field surrounded Lucinda, her mother, and the Rangers from the attack.

"It is the end for you" The armored warrior laughed evilly.

Things are about to get ugly, Lucinda thought.
