Power Rangers: ARCANA
Deck 3: The MAGICIAN Part II-2
The rangers flip into action then summoning their sword and wand cards.
"Fool's Edge!" The red ranger called.
"Chariot Dagger!" "Moon Chakrams! Ranger yellow and ranger green called respectively.
"Magician's Staff!" Ranger blue exclaimed.
They charge in weapons first toward the shadow. Nebiros laughs and summons a blank life sized dummy to protect himself. Suddenly, he dashes behind the rangers.
"I see why they call him the puppet master now." The blue ranger says.
"He's only distracting us. Mada's charging up!" The red ranger says turning toward the Gate Shadow.
"Not for long! Head's up guys!" Mika swings her dagger by the glowing orange rope attached to her glove. It went in a full circle over the other rangers' heads, slashing Nebiros and Mada.
"Nice range Mika!" Ranger green calls.
"Thanks Sagey. Now let's get Mada. Tate, Janet, get blue face!" Ranger yellow orders and they nod.
"My name is Nebiros!" The Alpha Shadow whines.
"Formalities are overrated." Ranger red says and she and ranger blue slash. The Shadow continues to defend himself with the huge puppet.
"Stop hiding!" Ranger blue exclaims.
"No!" Nebiros blocks with a giddy cackle.
Back with Ranger Green and Ranger Yellow, Mada was slow but nearly invincible.
"Why is this tiki mask so hard to crush?" Mika slashes and slashes.
"Don't know." Sage says.
"Daniels is there some other power we can use on this guy?" The green ranger talks into his morpher.
"Perhaps you could fully synch with your arcana." Daniels proposes.
"Fully synch?" Sage says pondered.
"Yes. You're power over the moon gives you water channeling capabilities. Just concentrate."
"Okay, let me give this guy a splash!" Ranger green says excitedly.
"Water?!" Mada says turning toward Sage. Mika hops off the monsters head to distract it as Sage backs away. "What are you doing green ranger?"
"I'm about to give you a bath!" Sage puts his arms horizontal holding his chakrams. "Power of the moon dragon!"
"Hey!" Mada yells and heads toward the green ranger. Mika kicks him back.
"Hurry Sage!" She yells before being blasted back by the shadow.
"Moon torrent!" The XVIII on the green ranger's helmet glows white and Sage's chakrams start spinning rapidly in the air. Sea green water shoots out of them with high pressure. The Gate shadow is knocked back and the flames around it diminish.
"Woooah!" Sage howls. "Oh, Mika!" He runs toward his friend. "You all right?"
"Yeah. Come on let's finish this!" Ranger yellow says.
"Yeah." Sage and Mika stand. They line up their weapons.
"Moon torrent!" Ranger green cries.
Mika throws her dagger to the sky and it glows gold. "Chariot blast!" Ranger yellow cries as electricity flies from the floating dagger on to Mada.
A wave of electrified water drowns Mada, "I never could swim!" The Shadow is finally destroyed, exploding.
"Woohoo!" Mika and Sage high five.
"Hey! We could use some help over here!" Ranger red calls.
"Right." Mika and Sage head toward Blue and Red, attacking Nebiros.
"Looks like you've reduced Mada to a pile of rubble. Pity." The blue shadow says while using his agility and the giant puppet for protection.
"Yeah and you're next." Tate says slashing away with his spear.
"Right." Nebiros smirks. "Hee yah!" Nebiros swings the giant puppet at the rangers and they're knocked back. "You know rangers, you aren't the only ones who can summon arcana cards!"
"What?" Ranger red asks confusedly.
"Cup card!" A dull card with a bronze grail on it appears in front of the shadow. He throws it over Mada's ashes and the grail hops from the card and pours some sort of red liquid over Mada's ashes. With that, the ashes start taking form and grow to skyscraper proportion.
"AHAhah!" The colossal Mada cackles.
"Have fun with that, rangers!" Nebiros says before disappearing into a dark portal.
"Get back here!" Tate exclaims! "Damn it!"
"Tate, we have bigger problems." Ranger red says.
"Waaay bigger." Mika adds.
"Daniels, how do we deal with this thing?" Sage asks through his morpher.
"You'll have to summon your personal arcana cards, and then your cup cards. This will summon your Zords." Daniels tells the rangers from the shrine.
"Then we'll make a Megazord! Oh man this'll be awesome." Ranger yellow says.
The giant gate shadow begins stomping and absorbing heat. "Hurry guys, Mada's going wild." Janet tells them.
"Arcana!" They call. Their Arcana cards appear alongside a shining card with a platinum grail on it. "Summon!" They swipe the cards simultaneously.
Under each of them, their arcana cards then are overlapped by the cup card. This makes the cards grow huge size.
The card of a giant owl-like creature appears under Tate and takes form. He's on the owl's head and takes to the sky. "Oh hell yeah!"
A giant gold ox like creature appears under Mika and takes form. Mika rides on its head near it horns. "This is so awesome."
Sage's card take the form of a long, green, serpent like creature. It flies up toward the sky. "Oh cool. Oh wait!" The dragon dives into the ground but the ground takes the illusion of the sea. The dragon then flies into the sky once more. "Woooah!"
A silver, red-scarved canine appears under Janet. It howls as she stands atop its head. "Yes." The ranger nods.
"Now rangers. Use your zords to take down Mada!"
"Right." Guys let's go! Fool's Hound!" Janet cries.
"Golden Aurochs!" Mika calls.
"Azure Owl!" Tate hollers.
"Teal Dragon!" Sage cries.
Their arcana zords fly towards Mada who was ready to shoot another blast of flame.
"Sage! Use your dragon's water power!" Janet commands.
"Right!" He says atop his dragon. "Teal Dragon! Moon torrent breath!" He cries and his zord begins blasting a high powered geyser from its mouth.
Mada howls and is knocked back, but his flame doesn't waver. "Stupid Power Rangers!" He says. A strong burst of fire flies from the mask shadow's body, knocking back the rangers and their zords. They scream as they hit the ground.
"Damn. Our zords aren't strong enough!" Tate hollers.
"Fool hound, use Zero Cannon!" Ranger red calls. The Scarf around her zord's neck spins and array of colorful lasers fly from the zord, striking Mada. They hear the shadow laugh.
"That tickles!" Mada says. Janet scowls through
"It's only staggering him, that's not gonna hold up Janet." Mika says from her Aurochs' head.
"You're right." Ranger red says. "Daniels?"
"Now you could combine your zords, but there are only four of you. The Megazord won't be much stronger even with you all."
"So we're screwed?" Tate says lowly into the morpher.
"No, just keep pushing rangers! I know that you can do it!" Daniels says.
"Come on guys. We haven't tried everything!" Sage says from atop the head of his dragon.
"Right!" Janet exclaims. "Let's attack, all together!"
"Thunder Chariot!" Ranger yellow calls and her zord becomes covered in electricity as it dashes toward Mada.
"Moon Torrent!" Ranger green calls and his dragon readies a water blast.
"Magician Gust!" Ranger blue calls and the wings of his Owl zord flap at light speed creating golden energy arches.
"Blank Cannon!" Ranger Red's Hound's scarf twirls and shoots rainbow colored blasts.
The blasts combine and the rangers hear the Gate shadow howl.
"Keep it up guys!" Ranger red calls. They do and their attacks last for over a minute. The blast created a blinding fog.
"Did we destroy it?" Sage asks.
They stand soundlessly before a blast of flame flies at them. They scream and hit the ground fatigued.
"We can't take anymore Janet." Tate pants as he clings to his owl zord's head.
The leader grunts. "Damn…"
The gate shadow charges up again as he cackles.
"Oh man…" Sage writhes.
~Baldur's Shrine
"Lord Baldur! The Rangers need help!"
"The rangers must be able to protect themselves." Daniels hears the lord of light say.
Daniels looks down. He can't look at the screen as the rangers are ready to be destroyed.
"Hey." He hears a high voice.
"Hmm?" He looks at the familiar face.
"My morpher." The girl in pink says.
"They need your help." Daniels tells the girl.
"I know." She smiles. Daniels tosses her the golden morpher.
"Go. Summon your zord."
"Got ya." The girl says. "Within the cards, Arcana Ranger!"
~Abandoned Shopping District
"Hound. Come on!" Ranger red cries. She tries to have her zord fight more but she knows it's more than exhausted.
"Oh man, is this the end? Who's gonna have the lead part in the school musical if I'm gone guys?!" Sage wales hysterically.
"No tears man." Tate's eyes begin watering. "My team has a game next month. I'm the highest jumper. They won't get any shots without me…" The blue ranger sobs.
"Will you two shut up?! Daniels is thinking of something…him and Lord Baldur. I know it!" Mika cries.
"Haha, this is it!" The gate shadow is ready to emit its flame.
"Janet!" Tate calls.
The red ranger looks down. They hear Mada crackle but then he shrieks in pain. "Huh?"
"What is that?" The green ranger asks.
"It looks like a giant pink deer." Mika says as the giant robotic looking buck attacks the gate shadow.
"A stag?" Janet stands.
"Is that a zord?" Sage asks.
"Daphne?" Tate says.
"Hey!" They see the pink ranger between the antlers of the deer zord.
"You're pretty late!" Mika calls.
"Yeah yea, come on let's combine!" Daphne says excitedly then jumps down a hatch atop the deer's head.
"Okay guys, let's take control." Ranger red orders.
"Right!" The other rangers say, taking full control of their zords.
"This cockpit is badass." Tate says.
"The zord's can operate on their own though. What's the point of this?" Mika asks inside the cockpit of the Aurochs zord.
"I guess for communication." Sage says touching all of the buttons.
"And to guide them so they can combine! Let's go!" They hear the pink ranger.
"Alright then." The red ranger summons a golden card. "World card! Zords-" She swipes the card in the Fool Hound's operating pit. "Combine!"
"Combine!" The rangers all say. Their zords start moving toward one another. Tate's owl takes to the sky and Sage's dragon follows. On the ground, Mika's Aurochs begins opening, revealing robotic humanoid legs. When the golden legs stand, The Magician Owl flies back down and attaches as the Megazord's torso. The owl's wings then transfer from the sides onto the Megazord's back. The Moon dragon then flies back down and attaches to the torso as the right arm of the mech. The pink stag zord then shifts shape and attaches as the left arm.
"Final piece." Janet's hound hops high and shifts. Its head and legs disappear. It attaches to the top of the owl as the shoulders, realigning the arms and covering the owl's head. A larger head materializes at the top of the Megazord with sharp horns and visor eyes.
"World Arcana Megazord!" The teens call from inside the operating bay.
"Cute." Mada says sarcastically. He roars and charges the Megazord.
"Daphne, Sage!" Janet orders.
"Right!" They exclaim operating their zords, which were the arms. The Megazord raises its arms.
"Mika!" Janet looks over to the yellow ranger.
"Gotcha!" She operates the legs and steadies them into a defensive stance.
"Alright, hold him back!" They stop Mada after he charges them and they grip up.
"Stupid rangers let go!"
"He said let go." Tate says in an uncanny fashion.
"Let's give it to him!" Mika readies the Megazord's legs. Tate uses his owl to boost the thrusters.
"Let him go guys!" The red ranger calls and they pick up Mada and throw him far over their back. The Gate shadow squirms on the ground for a moment.
"Summoning Arcana Sword." Janet says pressing down a glowing circular pad on her command deck. She summons a gold sword card and swipes it on the card swiper at her station. Gold light emits in the right hand of the Megazord and a magical gold and silver saber appears.
"Let's finish this." The pink ranger says coldly. The Megazord turns toward Mada who was still regaining his balance.
"Come on rangers! You don't want to do this!" Mada cries.
"Oh, I think we do." Tate says.
"Definitely!" Sage raises the Arcana Sword.
"Ready?" Janet exclaims.
"World Slash!" They all call and the gold saber shines and drops, cutting the shadow in two.
As it dissipates, the rangers cheer. They hop from their zords which dematerialize into gold cards.
"Power Down." Janet says, the others do as well.
"We got soooo lucky." Sage smiles, then they all turn toward Daphne.
Tate heads toward the girl in pink. "Babes."
"Don't touch me." She steps back.
Mika glares at the girl. "Daphne, what is your problem? You help us, and then you want to get all prima-donna on us. "She says harshly. Daphne stares blankly.
"This ranger stuff isn't my thing." She takes off her morpher. "I'm leaving." She drops it to the ground.
"Leaving?" Tate steps forward.
"Yea. My family and I are leaving town. Convenient huh?" The redhead shrugs.
"What?" Tate steps closer. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I didn't have too." Daphne turns now. "Well this was fun I guess. But pink's not really my color anymore." The redhead walks off, and then stops. "I don't have to say it do I?"
"Say what?" Tate looks up.
"That we're through." Daphne says and continues off, leaving the others, especially Tate, distraught and confused in the wasteland.
