Shoutouts:
Bhu: I remember you now. You did several reviews on my digimon fanfic before I re-uploaded it. I have a few choice words that I want to say to you which I will not say in this shoutout. You need to take a chill pill. I'm literally working as fast as I can writing this fanfic. It takes time for me to write a chapter and I do have a life outside of writing fanfiction. I don't spend all day everyday writing chapters, ya know. I do have to eat and spend time with other people. So what you need to do is read my other fanfics while you're waiting for me to post the next chapter because it might be a long while before I post it. If you don't like what I have to say to you, then don't read anything I write.
Out in the forest, Clare was gathering ingredients. "Let's see. Beetle's fang…check. Slug root…check." said Clare as she looked into the basket. Suddenly she heard something approaching and looked up to see the rangers coming towards her.
"Heads Up! Coming through!" Nick shouted as he was in the lead. "Sorry!"
"They need to put traffic lights out here." said a scared Clare, then looks down and found what she was looking for. "Ah, holly flower petals. Come to mama."
"Florum Zilo Copa!" she chanted and suddenly bees came out of the flowers. "Bees! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Just then Clare finally got rid of the bees. "I'll just say that I couldn't find any holly petals. What's next?" she said to herself. "Ah, stickle berries."
Just as Clare about to pick some from a bush, the ground was shaking. She looks around at the ground as something comes towards her. Clare drops the basket and runs away as it catches up to her. "Look out!" said a voice and suddenly someone knocks Clare to the ground, away from what was coming after her.
"What was that?" Clare asked and the person who saved her had already disappeared from sight.
Down in the underworld, Necrolai said, "Now there are six mystic warriors, just like the ones who tried to trap us down here forever."
"Udonna had to give the mystic powers to someone." said Koragg. "These children pose no threat."
"And while you two argue, I've taken steps to see that they don't." said Morticon. Suddenly the cavern shook. "What under earth was that?" asked Necrolai.
"The Hydro worm." said Morticon.
"The creature that dug this enormous pit?"
"It's only a matter of time before it breaks through to the surface." explained Morticon.
"Briarwood would be destroyed from below unless the rangers stop it." said Necrolai.
"I'll make sure that don't with a creature from my army of the underworld." Morticon said, laughing as a monster came out. The monster was green then roared.
"Yeah." said Nick as the others followed him over the forest. Sadly Naiya wasn't with them. "Come on, Pinky!" Nick shouted over his shoulder. "Try and keep up."
"No one calls me "pinky"!" shouted Vida and goes after him.
"Get him, V." said Xander, cheering her on.
"You'd better run!" Vida shouted after Nick.
"Go sis!" said Maddie.
"I almost got ya."
"Are you still there?" he asked over his shoulder then looks back and sees that he's about to run into a tree. Vida flies past him. "Who's in the lead now, Nicky boy?" she taunted him.
"That would be me!" shouted Chip. "Whoo-hoo!"
"Huh?"
"Yellow, baby! Yeah!" shouted Chip. They all made it back to the tree. "Dismount! All right!" shouted Nick as he and the others powered down as they got off their brooms.
"Whoa!"
"Very good, rangers." Udonna said, praising them. "That's enough Mystic racer practice for today."
"Aw, come on." said Chip. "One more lap around the forest."
"Yeah. I'm just getting warmed up." said Vida. "I want to see what this bad boy really can do."
"I'm afraid not." said Udonna. "It's time for elementary incantations." She looked around and noticed that Naiya was missing. "Where is Naiya?" she asked.
A rustling sound was heard behind them and Naiya appeared with her broom in hand. She was covered in leaves and dirt as she looks down at her broom. "I crashed my broom." Naiya said as she looks up at the others. "So much pain in different areas."
"Oh my." said Udonna as she, Maddie and Nick run towards her.
"What happened?" asked Nick as he and Maddie were dusting her off.
"You guys went fast. I got knocked out of the sky. The ground was painful upon impact." said Naiya, staring off into space.
"Come on. Let's get you cleaned up." said Xander as he picks her up from the ground and places her over his shoulder.
"I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you." said Nick as he ruffles her hair and Naiya giggles.
"I can't wait to do the incantations though." said Naiya.
"Boring." said Chip and Vida.
"Hey, I think that's sounds kind of interesting." said Madison.
"Only you sis." said Vida and quickly goes up to Udonna. "Udonna, the Mystic racers are amazing. But now that we're power rangers, don't we get lots of other cool stuff, too?"
"Yeah. I mean, no one's more excited than me to finally wear a cape." said Chip.
"(Chuckling) Finally?" asked Xander. "If I remember correctly, you used to come to school with a pillowcase pinned to your back."
"That was a long time ago." said Chip as the others started laughing.
"That was last week, mate." Xander tells him.
"Well, anyway, Vida's right." said Chip. "We're official superheroes now. Where's the rest of the vehicles, weapons, and gadgets that we get?"
""The Xenotome" holds the spell codes that can unlock magical powers beyond your imagination." explained Udonna.
"So what are we waiting for?" asked Vida. "Lets bust it open, load the codes, and get our booty."
"Impatient, are we?" asked Naiya and Udonna smiles at her as she pushed a strain of hair out of Naiya's face.
"It doesn't work like that, Vida." said Udonna. "As you perform heroic deeds and grow as rangers, "The Xenotome" will reveal the spell codes when the time is right."
"Okay." said Maddie.
""When the time is right"?" Vida asked as Chip walks over to her. "I don't want to wait that long."
"Me neither." said Chip. "There's gotta be a quicker way to get those codes."
"Got it. Come on." Vida said as she nods her head to the right. She then calls to the others, saying, "We'll catch up with you guys later!"
Back at Rootcore, Xander was shocked by the incantations. "Man, look at all these incantations." he said, sitting at the table with Nick. "How is my brain supposed to fit in all this information?"
"Why don't you let me help you out with that?" asked Maddie as she carried a stack of books in her arms to the table. Once she had set them down, she got out her morpher and pointed it at Xander. "Craneor Magnus!" she chanted and suddenly Xander's head became big. Nick started laughing and you could hear Naiya giggling from the other side of the room.
"Now you have more room." said Maddie.
"And I thought he had a big head before." said Nick.
"Very funny." said Xander, as he was not amused. "Madison…if you wouldn't mind."
She then transformed his head back to its normal size. "Clare?" Udonna asked. "Didn't I ask you to gather some stickle berries for this protection potion?"
"Oh, I did have a big basket full of them." said Clare. "But I accidentally dropped it when I was attacked by the giant worm. I'm really sorry."
"Giant worm?" Udonna asked in concern.
"Where?" Naiya asked in awe as she looked into the cauldron and gave disgusted look.
"Well, I think it's a giant worm. I didn't really see it because it never surfaced." explained Clare. "But then this freakish-looking gnome or troll or goblin knocked me out of the way and saved me."
"Did you see who it was?" asked Udonna.
"No. he took off before I could thank him." she tells her.
"This is troubling." Udonna said as she continued stirring the potion.
Out in the city, a kid was selling lemonade for five cents. "Thanks." said a kid as he gets the lemonade with his friend. The kid owning the stand looks over at Vida and Chip. "Aren't you guys a little old for this?" he asked.
"Beat it, kid." said Vida. "We don't need the competition."
The kid sticks his tongue out at her and Vida retaliates by doing the same thing. "So, how do you figure that being heroes for hire is gonna get codes from "The Xenotome"?" asked Chip.
"Udonna said that heroic deeds unlock codes." Vida explained. "So all we gotta do is perform a bunch of them, and we're golden."
"Hey, ma'am. You don't happen to have any heroic deeds that need doing, do you?" asked Chip as a woman passes by.
"Well, as a matter of fact, I do." she tells them. Chip looks around the yard and sees that she had him rake up the leaves. Vida, on the other hand was dealing with a car. "I can fix this." she said as she reaches in and gets the engine to turn over when some gunk hits her in the face.
Chip finally had gotten all the leaves in one pile when suddenly the wind picks up and scatters them. "Oh, no, no, no, no!" he shouted.
As the day continued, it got worse for them and at midday, Vida walked tiredly to their stand, groaning. "Man, I don't know how many more heroic deeds I've got left in me." said Vida.
"I know what you mean. I'm beat." said Chip. "You smell like wet dog."
"Can it." she tells him. "Hey, let's see how many new spell codes we've got."
They took their morphers and saw that they didn't receive any. "Nothing?" asked Vida, shocked.
"Hey, Chip and Vida never showed. Where do you think they went?" asked Xander as they were walking in the city.
"I don't know. When my sister gets that crazy look in her eye, it usually means trouble." said Maddie.
"Kinda like Nick when he wants me to do something that I'll get in trouble for." said Naiya.
"Hey, blabber mouth….don't go spilling secrets." said Nick.
"I'll show you real trouble." said Necrolai as she landed in front of the four rangers.
"Who are you?" Nick and Naiya asked.
"I am Necrolai, dark mistress of the underworld."
"Interesting name." said Naiya. "I don't like it."
"I'll handle this one." said Xander and Naiya slaps her face. "Hi. Xander Bly. Whatever the problem is here, I'm sure we can just talk this one out."
"You wish!" shouted Necrolai and shot at Xander.
"Xander!" shouted Maddie as they ran up to him.
"Not a big talker, I see." he said.
"Let's ranger up." said Nick and all four took out their morphers.
"Magical source, Mystic Force!" they shouted.
"Galwit Mysto Ranger!"
"Mystic Power!"
All four rangers went at Necrolai and she pushes them back. "Come on, Maddie." said Nick as he and Maddie went towards Necrolai. Xander and Naiya attacked her from behind. But Necrolai wasn't giving up without the fight. When they had Necrolai cornered, Necrolai then said, "Playtime is over!"
"Oh, yeah?"
"We'll see."
Wings appeared from her back and Necrolai took flight, shrieking as she attacked them in flight. "Look out!" shouted Nick as Necrolai came back for round two. The fight was brutal, Necrolai was stronger against the four rangers.
"Let's go for a ride!" shouted Necrolai as she grabbed Xander, Nick, Maddie and Naiya off the ground.
Down in the underworld, Morticon was giving orders. "Send Mucor to the surface, Koragg." said Morticon. "He has an appetite…for power rangers!"
"So be it." replied Koragg. "Oothra Noquah Ozarro!"
Mucor got big as he left the underworld and into the human world. "Hungry!" he said as he appeared through the spell seal.
"Patience, Mucor!" said Necrolai. "Dinner is on the way."
"Dinner?" shouted Naiya.
"Let go!" shouted Nick as Necrolai got closer to Mucor.
"Good riddance, rangers!" she said and drops them in Mucor's mouth. At Rootcore, Vida and Chip were walking in. "Let's check "The Xenotome"." said Vida as she and Chip walk up to the book. Vida opens the book and sees that it's blank. "What? Nothing?" she asked, confused. "This thing must be broke."
"What are you doing?" asked Udonna as she watched them turn around.
"We've been out doing heroic deeds all day and haven't gotten one new code." Chip said in frustration. "Being a superhero's kinda a rip-off."
"It seems you know very little about being a superhero." said Udonna.
"Are you kidding? No one knows more than me." said Chip. "I've spent a fortune on video games, DVDs, graphic novels, trading cards."
"Okay, okay." said Vida, stopping him before he could bore Udonna when suddenly something happened on the crystal ball.
"Something's wrong." said Udonna as she, Vida and Chip hurried over. Mucor appeared in the crystal ball. "The others are in trouble. You must stop it." Udonna tells Vida and Chip.
"Us?" questioned Vida. "Look at that thing. It's massive. We'll get pummeled."
"You might. There's only two of you, and you've hardly mastered your ranger powers."
Vida glances down at the crystal ball before turning her gaze back at Udonna. "Are you afraid?" she asked.
"N-no. I-it's not that I'm…" Vida stammered but then Chip chimes in.
"I'm totally scared." he said, then shows Vida his arm. "Look. My goose bumps, they've got goose bumps."
"Okay. I guessed I'm a little freaked." said Vida, admitting her fear.
"You should be." said Udonna. "That creature's size and strength are unlike anything you've encountered."
"But Maddie….Naiya and Nick."
"And even Xander. They need us." said Chip.
"We got to try and help them. Come on." said Vida as she and Chip go to leave.
"Real heroes are born in the face of real danger." said Udonna.
"Ready!"
"Ready!
"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" they both shouted.
"Galwit Mysto Ranger!"
"Mystic Power!"
Vida and Chip grabbed their brooms. "Come on." said Chip.
"Right behind you." said Vida.
"Galwit Mysto Aerotan!" they shouted and both brooms transformed into Mystic Racers. "Ready! Firing engines!"
"Rangers good!" said Mucor as he rubbed his stomach.
"There it is." said Vida as they both came to a stop. Chip opens up his morpher and calls the others. "Guys, this is Chip. Where are you?" he asked.
"Inside the belly of the beast." said Nick. Inside the stomach, the four of them were swimming in stomach juice. "Stay out, Chip! I think he's got room for seconds." Nick warns them.
"I don't care. I'm going in." said Vida as she flies over to Mucor. Mucor tries to swat her away but couldn't and Vida then jumps off her racer. "Mystical Wings!" she shouted and butterfly wings appeared on her back. "Fairy dust!"
Dust was then sprinkled all over Mucor, which then caused him to sneeze out Naiya, Maddie, Nick and Xander. "All right, it worked!" cheered Vida as she goes over to the others.
"I'm covered in monster muck." said Nick.
"Think this will come out?" asked Naiya, looking down at her uniform.
Mucor then started shooting at Chip while he was still in the air. "Somebody's got to take this freak down, and I'm just the ranger for the job." said Chip as he made his way towards Mucor. "Magi Staff! Crossbow Mode! Sneeze on this!"
He aimed the crossbow at Mucor and fires at him. "Bull's eye!" he shouted and dismounts from the racer.
"Great job, Chip." said Nick.
"Nice work!" said Xander.
"That was incredible." said Maddie.
"Thanks Chip." said Naiya.
"Just doing our job. Right Vida?" he asked, turning to her.
"All in a day's work." she said.
Back at Rootcore, "The Xenotome" turned its page and showed Udonna what was written on it. "Incredible." said Udonna.
Suddenly the ground shook and Mucor got back up. "I'm hungry." he said.
"I'm not afraid of him! Come on, rangers!" said Chip.
"Strong as a tree, Green Mystic Ranger!"
"Ever-changing as the wind, Pink Mystic Ranger!"
"Fluid as the sea, Blue Mystic Ranger!"
"Fast as lightning, Yellow Mystic Ranger!"
"Frigid as winter, White Mystic Ranger!"
"Forceful as fire, Red Mystic Ranger!"
"We call forth the magic! Power Rangers Mystic Force!"
Suddenly six balls of light came down towards them. "Hey look."
"Whoa!"
"What's going on?" Vida asked as she held her morpher open and saw something appear on her morpher. "Hey! It's a new spell code!"
"I get it now. Udonna was right." said Chip and remembered what she had said.
[Flashback]
"Real heroes are born in the face of real danger." said Udonna.
[Flashback ends]
"Amazing." he said to himself.
"All right, rangers! Let's do it!" said Nick as they punched in the new spell code.
"Galwit Mysto Prifior!"
"Huh! Its titan time!" they shouted.
"Mystic Minotaur!" shouted Xander becoming a green and silver armored mythical beast with a battle axe.
"Mystic Sprite!" shouted Vida, becoming a pink and silver mythical being.
"Mystic Mermaid!" shouted Maddie, becoming a blue and silver armored mermaid.
"Mystic Garuda!" shouted Chip, becoming a silver and gold mythical birds with powerful wings.
"Mystic Griffin!" shouted Naiya, becoming a white and silver armored mythical beast with long wings.
"Mystic Phoenix!" shouted Nick, becoming a great red and silver warrior with a mighty sword to match.
"Ancient Power, Mystic Titans!" they shouted.
Mucor attacked, blasting them but out of the blast, Nick and Chip were unharmed. Nick ran towards Mucor as Chip glided overhead. "Lightning lasers!" shouted Chip and aims them at the enemy. Nick then runs at Mucor with his sword. "This power's incredible!" said Nick. "Yeah!"
"Let's go!" said Xander.
"Let's play ball!" said Vida and she transforms into a soccer ball.
"Nice! Maddie!" said Xander and passes it to her. Maddie dives into the ocean before coming back up. "Chip, coming your way!" she said as she passed it to him. Catching it with his wings, Chip then said, "Naiya, go long!"
"Got it! Nick, incoming!" said Naiya as she head butts the ball towards her brother.
"Here we go! Watch this!" shouted Nick as he ran. He caught up with the ball and kicks it towards Mucor. "Don't! I don't catch so good!" he said but he was then destroyed.
"Yeah!" shouted Vida as she went back into her titan form. She and the others cheered for their first victory. Down in the underworld, Necrolai wasn't happy. "The rangers have tapped into the power of the Mystic Titans!" she said as she walked into the pit. "We've got to bring them down here before he awakens!"
"Not to worry. The underworld will triumph." said Morticon. "And he will take his place as supreme master of all!"
"I'm proud of you all." said Udonna as they came back to Rootcore. "You've only begun to tap into the potential of the Mystic Titans."
"Yeah, but green freak is gone, right?" asked Maddie. "So, it's all good in the woods."
"Let's hope so. We still don't know if that was the same creature that attacked Clare." said Xander.
"Nick and Naiya are investigating that." said Udonna. Out in the woods, Nick and Naiya were looking at the upturn ground. "Who or what would do such this kind of thing? Actual earth worms don't make this kind of mess." said Naiya.
"You got that right." said Nick but then turns around, feeling as though someone was watching them. "Hello? Anybody there?"
Both he and Naiya went over to a bush when suddenly a creature popped up behind it and came out. "Aah! Stand back!" shouted Nick.
"You stand back!" said the creature.
"I said it first!" said Nick.
"So you did. yeah." said the creature. "You're not from around here, are you?"
"No, not really." said Nick as he and the creature walked around in a circle.
"Nah, I didn't think so." he said. "I've seen mump toads with prettier faces."
"Mump Toads?" asked Naiya.
"Ho! He is an ugly one, to be sure, to be sure." he said to someone imaginary.
"Excuse me." said Nick, interrupting him. "I don't want to interrupt your, uh, conversation. But what are you doing here?"
"He wants to know what we're doing here." he said, causing Naiya to give him an odd look. "Well, I don't think you should tell them."
"Tell us what?" asked Naiya but he ignored her.
"They're the ones who came into our part of the forest and…" he continued to say and was suddenly sucked down into the earth. Not even a minute later, he was shot straight out of the hole. "Oh, man! Come on!" said Nick as he and Naiya helps him up. "You okay?"
"Ew! What is on you?" asked Naiya.
"You saved me. Both of you saved me." he said.
"Not really." Nick and Naiya both said as they watch whatever it was come straight for them.
"Give me a hug." said the creature.
"We'll discuss it later." said Nick. "We're just kind of busy right now."
"Way ahead of you!" Naiya shouted over her shoulder as she was the first to run.
"Wait!" he called after them.
Getting out his morpher, Nick calls the others as he trailed after his sister. "Guys, I think we found what we were looking for." he said.
"What are they running from?" asked Xander as they watched Nick and Naiya run from whatever is chasing them.
"I don't know. But they need help." said Vida.
Somewhere out of the forest, both Russell siblings had stopped running. "I don't know how much running I can do." said Naiya.
"All right." said Nick as the both of them got out their morphers. "You want to play?"
"Magical source, Mystic Force!" they both shouted.
"Mystic Power! Hyah!"
"Oh, man!" said Nick as the Hydro Worm came out of the ground.
"That's one huge worm." said Naiya and it attacks them both, knocking them back until Xander arrived, hitting it with his axe.
"Thanks man, I owe you one." said Nick as Xander helps him up.
"No worries." said Xander as he helped Naiya.
"Way to go, amigos!" said Chip as he and the others caught up to them.
"Up high! Yeah!" shouted Vida and the ground started shaking beneath them. "Uh-oh!"
"He looks mad." said Nick as more heads popped out.
"How can you tell?" asked Chip and Naiya as Xander pulls out his morpher.
"Hey, I got a new spell code!" exclaimed Xander as the code appears.
"Wow! Great!"
"Udonna said the titans had more power." said Vida.
"Let's just see what they can do." said Nick.
"Galwit Mysto Prifior!"
"Mystic Titans! Hyah!" the rangers shouted, going into Titan mode.
"Mystic Titans, Dragon formation!"
Maddie's, Naiya, Vida's, Xander's and Chip's bodies started glowing and formed a dragon that roared. "How cool is that?" asked Nick as he points up to the sky. "Hang on, everybody! I'm ready to ride!"
"Hold on tight, Nick." said Udonna as she watches the crystal ball.
"Let's bury that worm!" he shouted as the Hydro Worm blasted at them. Out of the dust, Nick and everyone came out fine. "Still hungry? Hyah!" shouted Nick as he swings his sword down. They went higher into the sky and down fast towards the Hydro worm who then took another round to blast them.
"Dragon Blast!" shouted Nick. The dragon open its mouth and sent a ball of fire towards the Hydro worm. "Okay, rangers. Let's get fired up!" he then shouted again as he jumps off and the dragon sends another ball of fire towards Nick. Nick kicks the fireball towards the remaining Hydro worm head, destroying it once and for all.
"All right! That was a snap." said Nick.
Out in the woods, Nick and Naiya were getting the ingredient Udonna needed. "So these are stickleberries." said Nick.
"I'll try one if you do." said Naiya.
"Youre on." said Nick and both of them took a taste. Gagging, both of them had to get the berry out of their mouths. "That was gross." said Naiya.
"You read my mind. Worst taste of my life." Nick said in agreement. "Better pick some more."
Just as he was reaching for more stickleberries, the creature that they met before appeared again. "You-you got to stop doing that." said Nick.
"I almost had a heart attack." said Naiya.
"I've been looking everywhere for ya." he tells them. "I wanted to thank you for saving me."
"To tell you the truth, I don't think we saved you so much as that monster spit you out." said Nick.
"Rat feathers." he said sadly. "Even that hideous beast rejected me."
"The beast was hideous." said Naiya.
"I don't belong anywhere, not even in a worm's stomach. I'm Phineas."
Nick and Naiya were on their way back to Rootcore with Phineas. "You see, I'm a Troblin." said Phineas. "Now, uh, that's the unfortunate result of the union between a Troll and a Goblin. But both sides hate me. So…so I wander the forest on my own."
"I don't even wanna know about that union." said Naiya, shutter at what she was imagining.
"Well, actually, the reason my sister and I were out here is because, uh, you helped a friend of ours." said Nick. "And we wanted to thank you."
"Thank you for saving our friend." said Naiya.
"I hope you like stickle berries." said Nick as he holds up the basket.
"Who doesn't." said Phineas as he grabs them from the basket.
"Right." said Nick, chuckling.
"Ooh! I must warn you, though, young warriors. This forest is full of danger." Phineas warned them.
"What kind of danger?" asked Naiya.
"Tell me something we don't know." said Nick. "Me, my sister and our friends are up against Necrolai and Koragg. It can't get worse than that."
"Uh, yes. Yes it can." said Phineas. "Y-You still haven't faced him."
"Who's "Him"?" asked Nick and Naiya.
"The supreme master of the underworld." said Phineas, then puts his finger to his lips.
In the underworld, Morticon was angry. "They destroyed my Hydro Worm! Impossible!" he shouted.
"Even I am surprised." said Koragg. On the floor of the pit, a white crystal turned red.
"Morticon, look!" said Necrolai, facing the crystal.
"It's him!" exclaimed Morticon. "Bow down to the supreme master, you fools!"
"Hail!" all three of them said.
"Bow down!" shouted Morticon and inside the crystal, was an eye.
