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. In this chapter will run along a similar lines of "Dark Wish parts 1,2 and 3" But the tribunal will have been watching the new Mystic Force since they had accepted the legacy. They throw the team into a different timeline where they were never born, also without their magic. They must complete one more task before the spell that sent them to the alternate timeline can break and they can be sent back to their own timeline. Can the teens do the final task needed to get back home? In the words of River Song "spoilers" Read on to find out.
Chapter 11:Test Of the Tribunal:Part 3
In the final part of the story, the team won't earn the legend warrior powers, they will earn that mode later in a different way than thier parents did. Amber will also earn the battleizer, just in different way. The team will instead each earn magical boosters for thier Mystic elements. They will be able to use some powers while unmorphed like the Ninja Storm rangers. I want to draw from the show but also as a little homage to it, but put my own spin on everything. Enjoy, also I've horrible as for the last ten chapters I've forgot to say something important so here goes.

The same goes for every follow and favourite. Really guys thank you. So onto the story. CT means cannon timeline. I hope that the finale of this segment is good enough. I'm just going though a bit of self doubt right now so I really hope you enjoy this.
AT Briarwood
They stood in front of the tree, stunned and shocked.
"After everything we've been though and all that way we still failed." Jay cried. The team were drained. But Amber refused to give up hope.
"No I'm not giving up. I will carry on fighting with or without my magic. We're still Rangers we still have a job to do. Also don't forget what the Tribunal told us. We're being tested, the white robbed one said that we still have one more thing to do before we can go home."
Amber's talk didn't have the effect she wanted, they were heading off in different directions. It was clear that they had given in, Amber felt something flare up inside her, maybe it was the tiny amount of the Phoenix fire left with in her, or maybe it could be the small sliver of hope fading out. She wasn't sure, she with hesitation caved in and rushed to her brother's side. The Tribunal was watching via the magical portal.
"It seems that they have given up." The black robbed said in his deep voice. The Red robbed one was rubbing his chin in compilation.
"Not Amber, did you hear what she said. Even after being told she had lost her powers she still refuses to give up hope or give up the fight for that matter." The white robbed one pointed out. Determined to at least see the team in positive light. They were young and still had chosen to pick up thier parents legacy with out hesitation. They fell silent as it looked like the team were indeed going thier separate ways. Amber and James had arrived at the place they had woken up in what felt like years ago now. Though in this timeline for a short amount of time they had been though so much. The dark magic aura began to affect her again, she wasn't going to give herself over to it not this time. She closed her eyes, to make her mind clear she began to think of Nathan and thier first date together as boyfriend and girlfriend. It wasn't much just a dinner and movie, but it meant so much to her. A smile formed on her grubby face. As more chrished memories rose to the surface. Some foggy other as clear as crystal. The clearer ones were thier birthday party in Rootcore, picking up the Ranger mantle, even the day she agreed to go out with Nathan. She had enough, tears broke free. Just as she was about to really give up herself.
A loud scream rung out, in the direction of the old shopping area. Amber who was just about to sit down. She shot up, with out a backwards glance she was about to go help when her brother grabbed hold of her wrist.
"What can we do? We're powerless, we'll be destroyed." Jay told her quietly, worried for his sister.
"Jay we both know that if our parents were still alive in this timeline they would be in the middle of it all. Even if you and the others have given up. I haven't and I never will." Her face was set in her determined expression. Jay knew that once she had that face it was next to impossible to talk her out of anything. Amber could feel the now smouldering embers reignite within her. Wrenching herself from her brother's grip, she sprinted off in the direction of the scream. Jay smiled at his sister's tenacity. Pulling his phone out he began to write out a text message it simply read.
'Amber is about to do something reckless. Heard scream in old shopping area she's ran head first into the fight. She also believes that we've given up. She hasn't and she's told me that she will never give up hope or anything else." He scrolled though his contacts as he found each of thier friends numbers and sent the text in a grouping. Just after he still sat there and thought about what Amber had told him. A though hit him, his sister was right you should never give in, you keep fighting you still hold onto hope even if the odds are stacked against you. You keep going. Finding new strength within himself he stands finally heads off to help his sister. He finds her getting her butt good and kicked she looked dreadful. Cuts, bruises as well as grazers covered her body. James cought her as a flip to dodge a blast, went wrong sent her careening into a one of the huge shipping metal crates. Up close he could see how bad she was. Physically drained, sweat had made her clothing soaking wet.
"Jay, what the hell?" She asked, her voice was horse.
"You were right, we are Rangers we still have a job to do. Also you were right about mom and dad, they would have been in the middle of all this. Along with Uncle Chip, Uncle Xander and Aunt Vida. They all would have been here."
" Thanks little brother. Ok let's send these creeps to the scrap heap." They ran head first together. Meanwhile the others got the message from Jay.
"What?" Chris yelled. After the shock had subsided, he turned around to head for the place.
Nathan stopped. He didn't say anything. He just ran to the area in the text.
Grace read the text, she dropped everything, her cousin was in danger. They ended up all crashing into each other.
"Did you all get a text from Jay?" Chris asked. Grace and Nathan both nodded. They remind silent for a short while all three lost in thought.
"Amber was right, we were wrong to give up. We all know that our parents would be in the middle of it." Grace voiced. She slapped her fist into her other hand to show she was ready for a fight. They speed off to help the twins.
Amber looked dreadful, her hair was now stuck to her by her sweat. The underlings were huge in number. Amber faced her brother.
" If we go down we go down fighting together." She gasped. Jay nodded. The Tribunal were still watching.
"It seems that they are truly ready." The Red robbed one stated. The black robbed one was insisting that they wait for the other three to arrive. Just as he said that, Grace, Nathan and Chris arrived. Nathan turned to face his girlfriend.
" You were right Amber, we still have a job to do. We are still rangers." Grace grinned. The light orbs returned again. They hung nearby staying close with the teens. The teens knew who they were when they were alive. It was thier parents being close. The Tribunal had seen enough.
"Thier parents were right in choosing thier children to take over from them. They have passed the test." The White robbed one declared. They once again gathered into a circle to get reverse the spell to get the teens home and also give them back thier magic along with a reward for thier efforts.
"They will receive a boost to thier Mystic elements."
"Grace the pink ranger, she will receive a huge boost to her control over the wind."
"Nathan the green ranger, he will receive a huge boost to his control over the earth."
"James the blue ranger, he will receive a huge boost to his control over the water."
"Christopher the yellow ranger, he will receive a huge boost to his control over the lightning."
With this boost, the team will be able to use some their powers normally only accessible when in ranger form. They will be able to use some of thier powers while unmorphed, without thier Morphers as well, but it will require a lot of energy to pull it off as well as focus.
"Finally the leader, Amber the red ranger, she will receive a huge boost to her control over the flames." The white robbed one sateted. They began the process to send the teens home, also give the teens back thier magic.
During this the teens were still fighting, the person had been released, told to get to safety before the other three arrived. The underlings were now heavily demished. Only three were left standing. Once they were dealt with they feel to thier knees tired.
"Oh, man that was tough with out magic. I don't even know if that was the final task needed to get us home." Amber felt the Phoenix flames power flicker though her. Physically weak, they slowly returned to the point that they had met after waking up in the timeline. The sun was sliding down towards the horizon. Nathan and Amber went to watch it, just as the sun went below the horizon Nathan kissed her. She blushed bright red. Just after, the last sunbeam faded away to be replaced with the star dotted inky sky. The couple re-entered. With that they settled down for the night. Amber was absently holding the place on her cheek where Nathan had kissed her. With a smile on her face she fell into sleep.
Briarwood CT
Russel Household
Waking up to sunlight streaming in, rubbing her eyes to remove the sleep Amber got up, the duvet falling off her on the natural wooden floor. Not noticing she carried on until her mother's voice floated up the stairs.
"We're home?" Her answer lay on the bedside cabinet her cell morpher was there in its normal place. She rushed over to Jay's room.
"Jay, are you up? We're home. We have our magic back!" Nothing, she got worried. Knocking on the door again, finally giving up she burst though. Jay was still asleep, his duvet was wrapped around him.
"Go away Amber" he mutters while turning away. She wasn't going away that easily. She tore the duvet away.
"Jay wake up. We're home." Jay shot up nearly knocking out his sister.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Jay just listen. That's mom's voice." She said delightedly. Maddy had came to the bottom of the stairs.
"Jay, Amber breakfast is getting cold. Get down here you two." She called.
Jay closed his eyes to allow the sound just to wash over him. Nick was up and leaning against the door frame.
"Dad!" Amber yelled she threw herself into his arms just happy to see him, Jay did the same.
"Hey what's brought this on?" He asked. Jay and Amber shared a look and said together.
"You wouldn't believe us if we told you." The look on his face seemed to say. 'Try me.'
They headed down to breakfast.
"Mom." The twins just as they did for Nick they ran straight for her, and gave a very tight hug. Maddy asked the same question that Nick did, and she got the same response. Thier breakfast consisted of just bacon and eggs. Amber looked out to see the city was back to normal.
Bly Household
Nathan woke up, sitting up in his bed rubbing his eyes to remove the sand like sleep. The teenage boy looked around the room, it struck him.
"I'm home." Xander had, woken him up he looked confused.
"What do you mean that 'You're Home' Nathan?"
Nathan looked at his father, he takes a deep breath.
"Dad, if I told you, you'll think I'm crazy."
Thorne Household
Chris woke up, pushing himself into a sitting position, he carefully rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Chip was up and making breakfast for the two of them. His wife Hannah had left for work, so it was his turn to look after Chris for the morning. It was easy for Chip as normally Chris had ranger training, in the morning. In fact he should have been up ten minutes ago.
"Christopher Thorne, you best get up now." That normally did it as Chris hated his full name being used, much like Chip his full name was Charlie but everyone just called him Chip for short. Chris got up and headed downstairs.
"Morning dad." He said groggily he had said it everyday it just left his lips without much effort. Chris stopped suddenly.
"Dad." He raced into his arms and hugged his father.
"Woah, what's this about?" Chip asked gently. Chris kept his eyes level.
"Dad if I told you, you think I've lost it." Chip just smiled.
Rocca Household
Grace woke up to her mother playing her music, her decks were in the small spare room next to her bedroom.
"Mom." Grace whispered. Getting up, running to the door she tugged the door. With the force that she had used to open it she nearly lost her balance.
"Whoa." She yelled. Regaining her balance she carried on. Stopping at the door, she knocks on the painted wooden panels. Vida killed the decks.
"I woke you up hun. I'm sorry." Vida apologies. Grace didn't care, she launched herself into her mother's arms.
"Mom, you're ok." She cried.
"Of course, I'm ok. What's come over you, Grace?" Vida quizzed. Grace just smiled.
"Mom if I told you you'll think that I have lost my mind." Grace told her.
Streets of Briarwood
Quite a few moments had passed, since they had got home. Once the shock had ran its course. They had all showered got dressed. They met in the normal place. In front of the record store, opposite the huge tree that served as part of the barrier that spilt the two worlds. The teens were ready to go.
Nathan was on edge, what if the same thing happens again? His gut instinct told him just to relax, everything was back to normal.
"What do we do if this doesn't work?" Chris asked.
"Hush, if we truly are back home than it will. Just hang on to a little bit of hope." Amber told them. With crossed fingers she lay a hand onto the bark and lent a little bit against it, with a flash of bright light she was pulled into the magical realm.
"Yeah, we're back." Amber celebrated. Just as the others arrived, they had crashed into Amber knocking her to the leaf strune ground of the forest. They headed towards base with thier cloaks blowing out behind them. Seeing the base back in it's true condition. The light magic aura was back, well it never left it really. The team arrived, swiftly followed by thier parents. Daggaron also arrived. Followed finally by Udonna and her husband Leanbow. Clare and John had come out of the base. The team guessed that they were there to hear everything that had coursed the teens odd behavior in the morning.
Once thier story was complete, the silence that had fallen was almost tangible. Nick stood up.
"So that explains the hugs this morning and also the looks on your faces, they looked like they seen a ghost." Vida, Xander and Chip nod in reply.
"Yeah, we said that you think we'd gone nuts." Chris remarked. He went to hug his dad again when Chip jumped back with a yelp.
"What the hell?" He yelled. Chris looked shocked, what the heck just happened? Amber felt the Phoenix flames still flicker, they felt different though somehow. She was unable to place her wand on it. Chris carried on to stare at his hands.
"D-d Did I just create lighting with out my morpher?" Chris stuttered. He was looking at his hands in pure shock. Jay looked at his cousin, she just shrugged. With a slight hand gesture, a soft breeze swept thought the base. All eyes fell on to Grace. Who like Chris wore a expression of shock. Nathan who was trying to grow a small potted plant a task given to him by Xander. He focused on it his hand reaching out towards the dirt filled plant pot. It grew as if someone had pressed the fast forward button on a DVD player remote. A young tree rapidly grew, Nathan could only just watch stunned. James found him self standing in a shallow puddle of water. His hand extended towards the floor. Amber on the other hand nothing seems to happen. Though inwardly she felt slightly hotter than normal, not burning hot, it felt like someone had just turned the dial on the indoor heating just a little bit. Brushing it off as nothing, Amber smiled. They had earned the right to come home, by working tether as a team, and by never giving up hope. They couldn't wish for more.
Yet far below them, the threat began to gain even more power, also he knew that his targets had been changed he was no longer going for the former team. His new target was now the new team. He would now plan the next attack, if the team thought that the foot soilders were easy they are getting a shock. Walking back into the shadows, he cackled to himself as a plan began to form in his mind.
Uh oh the big boss is planing something a huge attack, how will the team deal with what's coming thier way? Now that would be telling. M. Edwards. As always pleases read and review. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Till next time best wishes.
M. Edwards.
