A/N sorry about the long wait. Real Life got in the way. I really hate this chapter. But next one starts the 4 individual ranger chapters.

"Craneor magnus!" Madison said with a smile, as she aimed her wand/morpher at Xander's head.

Chip and Vida laughed along with Madison as Xander's head grew to the size of a giant balloon.

"Well, Xander, I always knew you had a huge ego, but this is pushing it!" Vida said in between laughter.

"Very funny Maddie," Xander said in monotone.

Jenji poked his head out of his lamp, "can't a cat get a nap here?" he said, but was subsequently ignored as he sunk back into the lamp.

"And I thought he had a big head before," Chip whispered in Vida's ear causing her to laugh harder.

At that point Udonna walked in from the side hallway. "What's so funny, Vida?" she asked.

Vida just pointed to Xander, and if it was even possible laughed even harder, this time drawing her sister into her massive laughter. Udonna looked at Xander, and she too, couldn't contain her laugher. Chip was the only one not laughing hysterically, but was trying very hard to contain his laughter…

Bowen awoke the next morning to the sound of lauhgter. He looked around his room, and realized that he had no memory of ever getting there the previous night. Actually, he had memory of anything happening past his mother hugging Jenji. Bowen rolled out of bed and walked over to the mirror. He looked horrible, his short hair was sticking up in many directions, and his usually vibrant green eyes were dulled to the color of forest pines with dark circles underneath them.

I'm not looking well today, thought Bowen.

You'd look a lot better if you'd join me, son, a voice said in his head.

Bowen fell to his knees, as the voice caused the worst pain ever in his head. He didn't need magic to know who was in his head.

A son belongs with his father.

Bowen tried to say something back, but the pain was too strong. He did the only thing he could, he pushed with all he had, forcefully throwing his father from his head. Bowen fell forward as his head landed on the floor with a loud thud…

Koragg found himself against a stone wall, his second mind encounter with the boy he know knew to be his son didn't go so well. He had no memory of ever fathering a son, but the evidence was too clear for him not to be anything else but his son. It took a lot convincing and a lot of threatening but he finally got Necrolai to confess why she and her daughter had let the boy go. It was his son's uncanny resemblance to his human form that convinced the Hag that the boy was there against his will. He was sure that there was more to that story, but that was for when his son finally joined him.

There was something more that was puzzling him, the boy's mother. When he had met her, she told him that he was the son of Leanbow. But the boy was his son, and someone else's. Leanbow died nineteen years ago, or so Morticon told him. Koragg was determined to figure out this puzzle and why he kept getting flashes of a baby and a red haired woman in his mind.

Enough! He got off the wall, and headed toward the direction of where he knew Morticon to be. It was time to set some things straight.

"Bowen!" a female's voice cried, as he felt himself being shaken.

The first thing he saw when his vision began to come back to him was locks of curly blonde hair, ones that could only belong to his cousin, Clare. Bowen groaned.

"Your okay!" Clare said as she stopped shaking him and hugged him tightly.

"Clare!" Bowen screamed, or at least tried to as his voice was hoarse from everything that had happened in the past twelve hours or so.

"What happened to you?" Clare said releasing him, and helping him to sit on his bed, "I was passing by your room when I heard a thud, and walked in, and found you on the floor."

"Ko…" Bowen began, but began to cough rather violently.

"Oh, your hurt!" said Clare as she realized that Bowen had a slight concussion on his forehead from falling from his knees.

She helped him lay down, "don't move, I'm going to get your mother," she said leaving the room with a small run, forgetting to shut the door.

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, thought Bowen.

He was really mad now. First Koragg brought him to the Underworld, then he pitted him and his friends against two monsters. To make matters worse, he attacked Bowen not once, but twice in his own head. How could the man that his mother told him stories about sink to such a low level. Tears fell from his eyes.

He heard footsteps outside, and his mother walked into his room, followed by Clare and his friends, three of them looked like they were laughing hard. The other, also known as the Green Mystic Ranger was sporting an abnormally large head. At the humorous site, Bowen tried to laugh, but it came out as coughs.

Udonna ran over to him. What was with Bowen these past few days since Koragg kidnapped him? He was normally a quiet child, but she thought he was finally coming out of it when he met the other rangers, but he seemed to have recessed within himself. It was almost like he was hiding something, something important. Something that he didn't want anyone else to see, but she was determined to find out what it was. Right now, the most important thing was healing that concussion and getting rid of that cough he had, and what caused him to cough like that.

"Bowen," she said in her 'what's up with you voice'.

He pointed behind her to Xander, who was still sporting the large head. Vida saw that her sister still hadn't turned him back, the joke was over now that their newest friend was hurt or something. She kept her eyes on Bowen, "Sis, I think the joke's over," she said solemnly.

Madison who was standing in the doorway nodded, knowing that her sister wouldn't see it. She opened her morpher, and aimed it at Xander, whose head shrunk back down to normal size.

"Thanks, Madison," Xander said.

Madison winked at Chip, who was looking at her direction. Chip knew that Madison was going to do something else later. But what, he had no clue. He opened his mouth to say something to Madison, when a blinding white light filled the room and a now familiar voice yelling "MOM!"

When the light vanished, Bowen was sitting up in bed looking like his self again, instead of whatever he looked like before. That was amazing. Healing magic, thought Chip; I want to learn to do that!

"You seem to be feeling better," Udonna said, helping Bowen to his feet.

"I am," Bowen said realizing his voice was back, looking at his cousin who was standing in the corner acting as an innocent bystander.

Clare stuck her tongue out at Bowen, like a five year old would do. Bowen didn't respond back. He was too old for childish games. Sometimes he thought his cousin never grew up past the age of seven.

"Well I'm starved," Xander said, trying to break up whatever the cousins were doing.

Vida's stomach growled in response. "Uhh, that wasn't me," she said trying to cover up the evidence, "it was Chip."

"Hey!" Chip said giving her a slight push, right into her sister.

Madison, who was totally unsuspecting it, got knocked off her feet, and landed in Bowen's arms.

"Hey there, no need to fall in here. The floor isn't very nice," Bowen said looking down at her.

She smiled at him, "Believe me, I know." Bowen said smiling back.

"Bowen, why don't you go get some fresh air?" She paused for a brief second. "But no over doing it," Udonna said to him, as he placed Madison back on her feet.

"Sounds good," he replied looking at his friends, "any suggestions?"

A light bulb appeared to have gone off in Vida's head as she grabbed Bowen's hand, and gestured to the others to follow her. "See you later Udonna! I promise to return him in one piece!" Vida said dragging Bowen out the door.

"Clare, what am I going to do with him?" Udonna asked her niece who was still in the room with her, when the rangers were out of an earshot.

"I don't know, there is something up with him," Clare replied.

"Come child," she said as they walked out of Bowen's room.

Leelee was exploring Briarwood like she never had before. She had visited it a couple of times, but never had the chance to really explore. She soon found herself in front of a store with a very colorful sign in front of it. It was the Rock Porium. She peered inside the window and saw a red haired boy at the register. A short haired female employee in the DJ booth, a longer haired girl employee stocking some shelves, and a dark haired male employee was showing another dark haired boy around. There was something about the dark haired boy that looked very familiar, but she couldn't tell from behind. He went towards the back of the store. She would have to go into see who he is.

Leelee walked into the store and was greeted with the sound of rock music. She had to admit, it had a pretty cool beat. She walked past the register where the red haired male was finishing up with a customer. "Thanks for shopping the Rock Porium come again soon!" he said, totally ignoring Leelee. She was just about close enough to the boy when a door opened in her face. A curly haired man stepped out.

"I did it!" he yelled drawing attention from all of the employees, as the door shut behind him leaving Leelee out in the open.

The long haired girl stopped what she was doing and walked over. "Did what Toby?"

"I solved the hardest sudoku puzzle in the whole book in under 8 minutes! I'm the best puzzle solver ever!"

"That's great, Toby," the dark haired male employee said, causing the other boy to turn in her direction.

Leelee gasped. No wonder he looked so familiar, it was Koragg's son! Her mother and her figured that one out about 5 minutes after he left the Underworld that day. Strange that she would see him here with people her age that she had never saw before. Should she try to make friends with them? She didn't have time to think because Toby and the long haired girl went over to Koragg's son and his friend. She couldn't hear the conversation at all. She leaned in a little when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She jumped back and turned around to be met by the red haired cashier.

"Can I help you with anything?" he asked very politely.

"Not really, I'm just looking at…" she was trapped and she knew it; there was a basket full of cd's on sale next to her. "this!" she said, pulling out a random cd.

The boy tilted his eyebrows at her. "Your looking at a cd of big band music?" he asked.

She was really stuck this time, "Okay, you have me," she said putting the cd down. "The boy your co-worker is with, I know him. I just haven't seen him in a few days."

"Wait a sec, your that Vampire Queen's daughter Bowen was telling us about," he whispered at her.

"How do you know that?" she whispered back, reading his name tag, "Chip."

"Bowen told us. He told us that he would have liked to thank you, but he left in a hurry," Chip said.

Leelee smiled. "My name's Leelee Pimvare. My mom is a Vampire Queen, but I really don't think she belongs down in the Underworld. I know I don't."

"Oh okay," Chip said, turning to see if anyone was waiting at the register.

Leelee took a quick look behind her shoulder and saw the conversation was ending. Toby was coming back in their direction probably going to his office. Chip realized it at the same time Leelee did, and pulled her back a few steps before she was hit with the door again.

"Thanks," Leelee said, turning around as the door opened for a third time in ten or so minutes. "That door must love me or something," she muttered to no one in particular.

"I'll say," Chip said, "I saved you like Superman!"

"Yea, right," Leelee said as Chip began to 'fly' around the Rock Porium, gaining laughs from everyone, including Vida who stopped DJing for a while.

Xander banged loudly on the side of a metal shelf, starling Leelee and bringing Chip back to reality. It looked like Toby had some sort of announcement, for he was holding a purple employee vest.

"May I have your attention please? I am pleased to announce that I have hired a new employee. May I introduce Nick Russell, the Rock Porium's newest employee!" Toby yelled, handing Bowen the vest, as the employees and the customers

"Nick Russell?" Leelee whispered.

"It's the name he originally told us he was before we got to know him, Leelee," Chip said coming up from behind her. "I'm shocked he took up the job he told us that he doesn't do well in crowds. Plus I didn't think his mother would let him. She always seemed like the overprotective type to me."

"You know his mother? Leelee asked.

Chip shrugged and walked away, leaving Leelee alone. This was big. Koragg has to know Bowen's mother. It was shocking to say the least. Koragg has a son and a wife, maybe? Possibly? She stood there a few more minutes watching Bowen talk to Toby and the two other employees around him, and she left the store. She would keep this to herself for now, as she went back to the Underworld to think about this more.

After the small celebration, Toby went back into his office, letting Xander and the other train Nick. Vida came down from the DJ booth and walked over to Xander, Madison, and Nick who were gathered around a carousel full of new releases, when the Rock Porium closed for the day.

"Alright, Bowen, why did you take the job? Why did Toby offer it to you? And what's with the pseudonym again?" she asked, as Chip came over as well after closing the register for the day.

"Which question do you want me to answer first?" he said with a smile, winking at Madison, making her giggle.

"Any of them! Just answer one!" Vida said, crossing her arms and reverting back to the mean Vida that Bowen first met.

"Yea, man, tell us! I hate being left in the dark!" Chip said.

Bowen turned to look at Xander. "Want to take the first part? Since you had a huge hand in this?" he asked, smiling at him.

"Okay, mates," Xander began. "Well, as I was showing Bowen around the store here, he began to get very interested."

"I had to conjure my own radio to listen to music," Bowen said interrupting.

"Well, anyways," Xander continued, "Toby saw us after coming out of his office, and began to talk to Bowen here."

"He was going to use his real name, but I stomped on his foot to stop him," Madison said, taking over.

"I quickly got that hint," Bowen said, unconsciously grabbing Madison's hand, "and told him the name that I told you guys when I first met you."

"Ahem, who's telling the story here?" Xander said, his accent evident.

"Sorry," Madison and Bowen said in unison. Vida shook her head, and Chip smiled.

"Well, Toby began to talk to him, asking him what type of music he likes, and all that such," Xander continued, gesturing at Bowen to continue.

"I like Jimi Hendrix and rock music," Bowen said.

"You like Jimi?" Vida jumped in with, "so do I!"

Bowen smiled at that, "Well Toby got real excited and asked me if I wanted a job, which would put me closer to my friends," he said, squeezing Madison's hand.

"Alright, Bowen!" Chip said, holding up his hand for a high 5, which Bowen gave him.

"What about your mother?" Madison asked, letting go of Bowen.

"She'll say go ahead. I hope. If not, I'll just make her see the light. I'm old enough to make my own decisions, whether she sees that or not," Bowen said, hoping in his mind that he was right about his mother.

All of the sudden, their morphers beeped. Bowen was the first to answer his. "Yea, mom?" he asked.

"Bowen, there's some sort of big monster north of your location. It looks like it just wants to destroy buildings. Be careful and don't overdo it!" Udonna said, cutting the connection.

"Whatever, Mom," Bowen said, closing the cell phone part of his morpher.

Bowen exchanged a shrug with Xander, as the five of them left the Rock Porium, leaving Toby to surprisingly clean the store by himself. They stepped outside into a shadow that was not cast from the building behind them. Vida turned around back towards the Rock Porium, and saw what they were looking for; a giant troll.

"I found our monster," she said, pointing towards it as the others turned toward her.

"Eww, big, tall, and ugly," Madison said.

Bowen looked around. Toby was locked up in his office doing who knows what. The street around the Rock Porium was shockingly deserted, save for the green frog on top of the parking meter. The site of the frog caused Bowen to take a small step back in shock. There was no pond around the Rock Porium, at least none that he knew off. He didn't have time to ask as the monster punched a hole through the side of a building on the other side of the Rock Porium.

"There's no one around," Bowen said. "Ready?" He flipped open his morpher.

"Ready," his friends replied.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" they all said together, as they morphed into the Mystic Rangers.

They ran to the other side of the Rock Porium where the troll monster was, surrounded by a bunch of debris.

"He's too big to fight," Chip said, getting an idea, "Titan time!"

"Galwit Mysto Prifior!" The rangers became the Mystic Titans. Chip attacked but was immediately pushed back.

"Dragon!" yelled Madison.

"Galwit Neramax Unios!" Madison, Vida, Chip, and Xander became the Mystic Dragon.

Bowen hopped on, and aimed his sword at the troll. There was a ring of fire that came out of it, but the troll still stood.

Bowen jumped off the dragon. Now what? he thought, when a new spell came to him via a voice in his head. Was it from Koragg? It sounded like his voice in his head, but it didn't come with a headache. No it was the same voice he'd been hearing for years, the same voice that would give him spells his mother never taught him. He yelled up at the dragon who was attacking the troll.

"I have a new spell! It's Galwit Mysto Unios!" Bowen said.

Just as he said that, something happened. He felt himself rising up, getting closer to the dragon. Next thing he knew he found himself in a cockpit of some sort, with his friends, in their ranger forms. They all seemed to be in their own little booth like area. Bowen was in the middle, to his immediate right was Madison, to her right was Chip. To Bowen's left was Vida, next to Vida was Xander. Their symbol was behind them.

"What's this?" Xander asked, "and why are we like this and not in Titan or Dragon mode?"

"Did you just make that up?" Vida asked him, never hearing the Titans or the Dragon referred to as modes.

"Yea, I did," Xander replied, as the troll attacked them.

"Okay, now that were his size, how do we defeat him?" Madison asked.

"I'm not sure," Bowen said, pulling his magistaff out of its holster.

Whatever they were now, followed Bowen by pulling a sword out of its side.

"Whoa, that's cool!" Chip said, "we combined into a…a…megazord!"

"A what?" Bowen asked.

"A megazord! We've created the Titan Megazord, and yes Vida, I definitely just made that up." Chip said.

"Whatever we made, we need to defeat that monster before it destroys Briarwood!" Madison said, pulling out her magistaff.

The other three followed suit, as the troll attacked. I wonder something, thought Xander.

"Everyone make a circle with your magistaffs!" Xander said.

No one questioned it, as they did followed Xander's directions. The megazord followed their move.

"Xander how did you know that?" Bowen asked.

"Innate feeling, mate! Hey that rhymed!" Xander said, gaining groans from both Rocca sisters.

"It's a mystic spell seal!" Vida said suddenly, "everyone push out with your magistaffs! Same reason, Bowen!" she said before Bowen had a chance to question her.

The seal that they made zoomed towards the troll, and it exploded.

"Checkmate!" they all said together.

"Alright! We're more powerful this way!" Madison said.

"That we are, sis!" Vida said.

"Let's get out of this form," Chip said.

"Power down," they said together, as the megazord melted away, leaving them in their ranger forms on the street.

"We need to clean this up," Bowen said.

"But how?" Xander said, "it's not like we can just say abracabara and make the building whole again."

"Xander, am I not a magician?" Bowen said, as he waved his hand toward the debris, as it magically cleaned itself up, going back to the building it came out of.

No one said a word about that. Bowen was indeed a powerful magician. The Mystic Force began to walk back towards the forest, not noticing that they were being followed by a frog and watched by a man in purple armor.

"Soon my son, I'll have you and your mother where you belong, by my side…" the man thought as he disappeared into a purple spell seal…

Someone new was introduced in this chapter. More about him soon. Here is the voting (from RB, and PRE) for the character focused chapters (Bowen most likely won't be included in this, unless you really want me to do one).

Chip 1

Madison 1 vote for last, 2 for next

Vida 1

Xander 1

It looks like Madison is going to be next. Who should be after her?
