It's been about 16 years after defeating the Master and the Mystic Force Power Rangers have all gone their separate ways building their lives getting married having children. Only Xander is left in Briarwood. All have been well, but a new threat is emerging, Chip, Nick, Maddie and Vida must return to Briarwood with their children not only to unlock their secret past as Rangers but also to pass on their legacy to them. Are the teenagers ready to accept their parent's legacy, and embrace the part of themselves that have been dormant? Before you start writing "They lost their morhpers in Mystic Fate:2 When they lost their powers. So Maddie shouldn't have hers." I'll refer to Mystic Mother's line "You are never without magic mystic ones. You just need to know where to look." I do not own Power Rangers the rights belong to Saban. Ok for this story I will be throwing tradition out of the window, that the red ranger is male I will be making the red ranger in this female. In this Amber will take over from her father Nick as the red ranger and the leader of the this team of Mystic Force.

Chapter 4: First Major Strike, A Leader Missing Part One

Deep below the city the once empty pit was now teaming with monsters and minions ready and waiting for orders.

"These new rangers haven't been around for long and yet there already becoming a pain to me."

The speaker was standing in the shadows not moving. It was clear that he did now want to be seen, not yet. He wan't ready.

"My Lord, we will make them pay for what they did to the Master. Even if we must attack the children to get to them."

"Go, ready your forces, we must strike now."

"It shall be done." With a bow to his master the monster walked away.

"If it takes to harm the children of the Light and their friends to avenge the Master then so be it."

Meanwhile up on the surface world. At the record shop, James was helping Xander clear up after a brake in that happened during the night before. While they tidied up, James vented his jealousy about his sister being leader.

"It's not fair Uncle Xander, I mean she's a girl, there is no way she can lead." Xander just let it pass as a teenager who was unable to have his own way so he was just whining about it.

"Well your parents hold the belief she can handle the role of leader, they have been watching you both, since you were born. So just get over it." Amber had heard it all, who her own brother held the firm belief that she was unable to lead. A tear ran down her cheek, hurt from what she heard she walked away. Using the back entryway she left the shop with her hand buried deep within her pockets of her blazing red jacket. Wiping her tears away she heads for a walk to chase away the thoughts that have been dominant since taking on her father's legacy. Was her brother right? Was she not fit to have the cherished shade? Would she be able to handle such responsibility? If he had these doubts then why not come to her in the first place. After defending him from school bullies in elementary school up till high school. She was once his rock, the person he could relay on no matter what. Is this how she is repaid? Her own brother saying those types of things about her. Taking a rest, she lent against one of the trees that lined the small dirt path, when a small movement get her attention. Scanning the area, instinct told her that something was wrong. Pulling out her morpher she opened it into phone mode and used the communicator to call her teammates.

"Guys it's me I need backup. Sending coordinates." The rest of her team arrived, even her brother.

"Amber we got your comm, we came as fast as we could. What's wrong?" Nathan asked, worried as the last time they had a fight Amber ended up in hospital even if the injury wasn't major, just really bad internal bruising. Just after asking two hands had clamped themselves over Amber's mouth. Blocking her voice, cutting off any air, rendering her out cold. She's dragged away. Nathan is the first to notice that Amber is gone.

"Amber, Amber where are you?"

Nothing apart from the the beats of wings of the birds who lived with in the woods and the normal bustle of the day coming from the city. Amber is missing, it gonna take not only an old friend of their parents but teamwork to bring her back home safe...

Well chapter four is done, I wanted to have this one in a two parter,
