As I said before. I love Jenji! And I've been watching Mystic Force on Netflix.

"Guys ... Rangers ... help!" Clare's voice echoed through Rootcore, and everyone ran over to her see what was happening. She stood by the dragon egg, looking excited. "Come quickly, you've got to see this!" She told them, and they watched the egg, but nothing happened.
"Uh, I don't see."
"Shh!" Clare shushed Xander without looking up, and suddenly the egg moved "Ah! Did you see it?" She cried excitedly as she grabbed Xander's shirt, shaking him as he laughed.
"This is so great, I'm so excited!" Chip said brightly. "What does it mean?" He asked, and they all frowned at him.
"It means its gonna hatch!" Vida told him with a laugh.
"So ... does anyone know how to hatch a dragon egg?" Maddie asked. They all looked at her blankly.
"No problem." Avril grinned. "Eggs need to be warmed up right? let's build a nest, then give it a lot of sunshine."
"Udonna should know." Chip spoke up, and Clare grabbed his shirt next.
"Udonna's not here!" She cried with panic.
"Clare, take it easy." Avril said as the Apprentance let go of the yellow Ranger. "Fire Heart will hatch when he's ready." She added as Chip quickly hid behind the gold Ranger.
"I know where we can find info." Maddie realized, she ran up to the small bookshelf. "'1001 things you want to know about dragons'" She grinned as she opened the heavy book. "Ah, here we are. 'hatching dragons'. To hatch a dragon egg, set the egg upright and." She frowned. "Proceed to bludgeon it with a sledgehammer until open." She finished, looked confused.
"Excellent, I'll get the hammer!" Vida grinned with excitement.
"Oh no you don't!" Clare yelled, throwing herself over the egg. "No heavy instruments near the egg!"
"Oh I can't wait to see what you'll be like when you become a mother, Clare." Avril laughed, a minute later Vida joined her.
"She'll try to baby proof the Mystic Realm!" The pink Ranger added, her and Avril's laughing and teasing fun was introupted when they heard a knocking. And everyone looked around as they realized that it was coming from the entrance.
"Do we have a door?" Nick asked, before he and Vida went to check it out.
"Me?" Clare asked, looking at Avril. "A mother?" She blushed.
"You don't want to stay single forever do you?" Avril asked with a grin. "I don't! Once the evil is finally over, I'm staying in the Mystic Realm." She smiled. "I do have roots here after all."
Clare continued to blush. "When it comes time, then maybe."
"Well, you have to get married first." Chip replied, causing Avril to look at him.
"Tea has a kid." She stated, and everyone looked at her.
"Isn't she only 15?" Chip asked.
"Not by choice of course." Avril quickly tried to explain. "It's a long story. One that's not mine to tell." She folded her arms. "All I'm saying, is that people can have a kid even before they tie the knot."
Clare had a thoughtful look on her face. "I guess."
"Uh, Xander? Why are you blushing?" Maddie asked. Gaining Chip, Avril, and Clare's attention as they looked at him.
Xander tried to looked anywhere but his friends. "I'm not." He denied.
"You are too!" Avril started laughing. "You, and Clare!" She squealed. "Clare, and you!"
"When did that happen?" Maddie asked with a giggle.
"He asked me last night." Clare's blush deepened.
Avril laughed harder, and she hugged Clare. "Hey Nick!" She called as he walked back into Rootcore without Vida. "Guess what?"
XxXxXxXxXx
Walking through Brairwood, the Rangers led Phineas to the dentist after the Troblin had showed up complaning of a toothache. They put him in a long coat, hat and sunglasses to try and make him less noticeable.
"It's all so ... tall! And shiny." He smiled with amazement at Vida, before she and Maddie had to grab him and pull him back as he stepped off the curb and nearly got hit by a car.
"You can't just go stepping off the curb in front of cars." Xander told him, and Phineas hugged him.
"Thank you, I ... I didn't know." The Troblin smiled at him. "New in town and all." He laughed. Another car passed, and he watched it go by. "Wow, love these ... car ... things." He told them. "Oh! Oh, can we eat them?" He leaped forwards, and they all had to grab him to stop him.
"Help me!" They looked around quickly as they heard a cry. "Gotta find the Power Rangers!" LeeLee yelled as she ran towards them, and they pushed Phineas out of sight. "Monsters! Beach! Cave!" She cried out.
"Hey, LeeLee, LeeLee." Nick sighed as he wallked over. "We don't know where the Power Rangers are. Why don't you look on the other side of town, and we'll look around here?" the red Ranger suggested.
"You can never find those costumed freaks when you need them!" LeeLee growled, and shoved through the group.
"Oh, pushy, I like that." Phineas commented.
"Who's she calling a costumed freak?" Vida demanded, ready to follow the blonde and beat the snot out of her.
"Sounds like there's trouble at the beach cave." Chip commented. "Wonder why the Crystal Ball didn't pick it up." He frowned.
"Hi, over here." Phineas reminded them to his presence. "Remember me? Yeah, the one with the tooth?" He pointed at his jaw to remind them of why they were in town.
"Oh yeah, right." Maddie frowned. "Someone should stay and take him to the dentist. Any volunteers?" She looked to her friends.
"No, don't all jump at once." Phineas grumbled. "I'm sure I'll be fine." He sighed sadly.
"Come on, one of us has to stay." Xander told the group. They nodded, and he frowned as they all looked at him.
"Hey guys!" They looked quickly to see Toby approaching.
"Then again, maybe not." Xander's grin returned, and he turned to their boss.
XxXxXxXx
"There it is!" Morphed and ready to fight, the Rangers found the cave, and the Hidiacs who guarded it.
"There's a few Hidiacs ... hardly what I'd call a global alert." Chip rolled his eyes under his helmet. The monsters rushed at them, their weapons raised.
"Let's get them!" Nick called, and he took out the small amount of Hidiacs. "Let's check out that cave." They nodded and ran inside. "Everybody stop!" Nick suddenly yelled a minute later, and his team ran into him. "I can't see where I'm going." He told them.
"I can take care of that." Chip grinned under his helmet. "Magi Staff!" He called as he pulled it out and saying a spell, the top of his Staff lit up.
"Good thinking Chip." Avril nodded, just before Maddie let out a scream.
"Frog!" She flailed around, trying to yank the frog off. "Get it off me, get it off me, get it off me!" Maddie cried, and fell into Nick, knocking them off the small ledge.
"You can't be afraid of a little frog!" Nick laughed as they sat up.
"I'm not afraid. I'm petridied! Ugly ... slimy frogs!" Maddie cried, shaking a little.
"Speaking of ugly, what's that?" Vida spotted a strange statue nearby.
"It looks like a mummy." Xander commended as he walked over to it.
"Hey, over here!" They looked around as Nick spotted something else. "There's something else!" He ran over to it and crouched beside it.
"What is it?" Maddie asked as she, and Avril ran over to it.
"It's a lamp with the Mystic Force crest on it!" Nick lifted it from the dirt. "A lost treasure, and now its ours!" He grinned.
Avril couldn't help it. "Way to go Aladdin." She cast a spell on him, and his Ranger uniform disappeared and was replaced by the clothing of Aladdin. "Make a wish so you can have Princess Jasmine." She quickly placed another spell on Maddie, her Ranger uniform disappeared and was replaced by the clothing of Princess Jasmine.
Vida, Chip, and Xander started laughing as Nick held the lamp to his chest and Maddie blushed.
"Turn us back, Avril." Nick told her, and she sighed.
"Ok." She held out her hand and cast a different spell. Instead of transforming them back, she changed them again. This time Nick was dressed as Prince Eric, and Maddie was dressed as Princess Ariel. That just had Vida, Chip, and Xander laughing harder.
"Avril!" Maddie's blush was deeper.
"Ok, ok." Avril held out a hand and cast another spell. This time, Nick and Maddie are back in Ranger uniform. "My two favorite movies." She grinned, before the lamp in Nick's hands glowed golden, and the ground beneath them started to glow and shake.
"Everybody, hang on!" Nick called, grabbing Maddie as everybody stumbled around.
"Not another earthquake!" Maddie cried out as her free hand reached out and grabbed Nick's out stretched arm, sense he already had a hold of her. A loud bang echoed through the cave. The shaking ceased to a stop just as suddenly as it had started.
"The shaking's stopped." Vida frowned as she looked around.
"Yeah ... that was really weird." Nick said as he still held Maddie and the lamp.
"What the hell just happened anyway?" Avril asked.
"I know the answer to your question." Necrolai spoke up, and the six immediately fell into fighting stances. "That was you destroying the forcefield that kept me out of here!" She explained with a laugh. "Now give me what I came for!" She ordered.
"No! You're not getting this lamp!" Nick yelled back has he held it tightly.
"I'm not?" Necrolai titled her head, then ran at them, knocking each of them down. "You can keep your lamp!" She told Nick before tossing him aside. "I want this!" She grabbed the statue, and blasted them with white smoke that floored the Rangers agains. When it was cleared, Avril pulled out her Magi Staff.
"Magi Staff!" She called and cast a spell, the tip of her Staff glowed.
Necrolai was gone.
"Where is she?!" A furious Nick, demanded as he helped Maddie up.
"She's gone!" Avril exclaimed.
"And she took the mummy!" Maddie groaned.
"I got a bad feeling we'll see that thing again." Vida sighed.
"Yeah, maybe, but at least she didn't get the lamp." Nick looked at the lamp that shimmered in the light.
XxXxXx
"Yep, it's definitely got the Mystic symbol on it." Maddie commented as the Rangers stood around Nick as he set the lamp on the table and wiped it gently.
"Maybe there's more writing." Nick commented, and started to rub the dirt off. When he blew the dirt from it, the lamp began to shake, and the top burst off. A small figure flew from it in white smoke, before landing nearby in a flash.
"I'm the great genie Jenji!" The figure declared as he revealed himself to be a large cat. "I grant you one wish." He bowed to them.
"A genie?" Xander stared at the strange cat.
"Got a problem with that?" Jenji challenged, raising his paws.
"No! No." Xander shook his head quickly.
"Oh, good." Jenji relaxed. "I hate violence. Now, here's the rules. You're the master, I'm the genie. You get one wish, can't hurt anyone with it, blah, blah, blah." He waved it off.
"A real life genie ... always wanted one of those." Chip told his friends, who laughed at him.
"One wish. Don't take all day." Jenji told them. "Got a lot of other things to do, like sit in a cave for another 18 years!"
"So one wish, right?" Xander asked curiously.
Jenji named a good amount of things to wish for, and finished with a loud gasp for breath as the Rangers laughed. "A to Z, anything, your heart desires." He turned to them.
"I can think of a hundred things to wish for." Avril grinned as she played with her necklace.
"Oh, I know! With just one wish!" Chip smiled. "I wish, for ten wishes, for each of us." He told the genie.
"That's not going to work." Avril sighed as she folded her arms.
"Granted." Jenji told them. "Like nobody's ever asked for that before." He muttered, and Avril's eyes widened.
"What?!"
"I wish ... for a 100 diamonds." Xander held out his hands with a grin.
"You haven't washed your hands lately, have you?" The genie asked as he looked at his hands, sounding a little board.
"Nothing happened!" Xander yelled at him.
"Oh course not! You only had one wish!" Jenji told them. "Carrot-top wished for ten wishes, each of you. I granted that, thereby and henceforth millifying any further wishes." The Rangers groaned in irritation, and Avril glared at Chip, who offered an apologetic smile. "Hey, it's in the Genie Contract." Jenji shrugged.
"Nice job, Chip." Avril huffed.
Jenji suddenly turned to her. "Hotaru?" He rushed up to her. "No way!" He exclaimed, he then saw her necklace. "It is you!" He cried, grabbing her arms and shaking her in his excitment. "Hotaru!" He cried happily. "Daggeron's going to be so happy!"
"I'm not Hotaru!" Avril cried out as he continued to shake her some more.
"Hey, stop it!" Nick said as he, and others tried to pull the big cat off the gold Ranger.
"Sorry, sorry!" Jenji said, stepping backwards from the Rangers. "If you're not Hotaru, then tell me why that name is engraved on the back of your necklace?"
Avril frowned. "What?" She reached up and took off her necklace, she turned it over to see what was engraved. "'Hotaru, my beautiful daughter.'" She read the engravement out loud.
"So you know Kaylynn, then?" Xander asked. "Avril's mother?"
Jenji looked to him. "Of course I know Kaylynn!" He exclaimed, like it was a dumb question. "She's Daggeron's w - oh!" He looked around quickly as Clare walked in, carrying the dragon egg. "Is that a dragon egg? Cause I'm hungry!" Jenji rushed over to her.
"Yes, it is." Clare smiled at him.
"Can someone say 'omelette'?" Jenji asked hopefully.
"Does you-know-who know that you brought home a stray cat?" Clare asked Nick.
"Don't worry, I don't think we'll keep him." Nick told her as he, and the others walked over.
"It's about to hatch, better keep it warm." Jenji told them. "Someone sit on it. It's uncomfortable, but it's the only way." He explained, and Clare looked down at the egg as the Rangers glanced at her, trying to hide their grins.
"Oh boy." The Apprentice gulped.
XxXxXxXx
Swaying as she was now perched on top of the large egg, Clare frowned at Jenji.
"Good, good." Jenji nodded as the Rangers stood around her, ready to catch her if she had a clumsy moment and fell. "Now, the important thing is, you can't get off the egg until it hatches." He told her as he patted it. "Ok?"
"How long will that take?" Clare continued to frown.
"A few minutes ... a couple of day ... sometimes a month ... anything up to 30 or 40 years."
Clare looked terrified as the Rangers started to laugh.
"Kidding." Jenji told her, and the laughter died as the Globe chimbed. "Oh! More eggs!" He turned to it quickly. The Rangers looked at it to find black clouds starting to cover Briarwood.
"Evil doesn't sleep." Nick sighed. "We have to go."
"Ok, well, have fun." Jenji told them brightly. "Play safe, I'll be gone by the time you get back, bye!" He waved as they ran out.
"No way." Nick shook his head as they stopped by the doorway. "You owe us wishes." The red Ranger told him, going back in and lifting the lamp.
"What about the contract?" Jenji whimpered.
"Back in the lamp. You're coming with us." Nick smirked.
"Fine. But you should know that when it comes to fighting." Jenji returned to his lamp in a puff of white smoke. "I'm just a kitten." He chuckled as he peeked out of the top, and Nick walked back over to the door.
"Oh! I think I forgot my keys!" Nick was jerked back by Jenji as he tried to escape from Nick's grasp, making up various excuses as the other Rangers quickly went to help Nick.
XxXxXxXx
After finally managing to get Jenji out of Rootcore, the now morphed Rangers hurried through Briarwood, towards where the dark magic was gathering. Nick trailed behind, holding onto the lamp as Jenji continued to try and flee.
"There it is!" Xander spotted a dark cloud floating in town.
"Whoa, look at that ... I've never seen anything like it!" Vida exclaimed as she stared at it.
"That's bigger then Morticon!" Avril breathed.
"Ok, well, this was fun!" Jenji peeked out of the lamp as Nick finally reached the others. "What say we run home, grab a pillow, get under the covers and hide?" He suggested.
"At last!" A voice echoed from the dark cloud as lightining flashed. "The Power Rangers!" Jenji shireked and hid as a figure revealed himself. "Let me introduce myself. I am the destoyer of your world." The mummy like creature declared as he waved a large fan. "I am Imperious, dark wizard of the Underworld!"
"Don't call yourself a wizard!" Nick yelled as they fell into fighting stances. "Wizards use their magic to help people!" He growled.
"Your witch Udonna, have misled you, Red Wizard." Imperious replied lightly. "Magic is for fulfilling all your own desires!" He exclaimed. "Come to my world, and learn what real power is." He invited.
"Not a chance!" Avril yelled. With a laugh, Imperious waved his fan, and invisible magic slammed into them. The Rangers cried out in pain as they were thrown backwards, crashing to the ground.
"I just remembered! We've got a genie in here who owes us some wishes!" Nick realized. "I'll rub it and get Jenji to help us!" He suggested as he rubbed the lamp quickly.
"Sorry, I've just granted my own wish ... to leave!" Jenji told him as he peeked out. With a terrified cry, he then bounced off, hiding behind a tree.
"Some genie you are!" Nick yelled at him angrily. "Fine. I'll do it myself." He decided, getting to his feet and drawing his Magi Staff. Switching it to its sword mode, Nick ran at Imperious, but as he swung the shard blade, Imperious disappeared with a loud laugh. "Where'd he go?" He demanded.
"Nick, behind you!" Maddie yelled.
"A better question." Imperious chuckled as he appeared behind Nick. "Where are you going?" He pointed a fingure at Nick's helmet, and blasted him through the air.
"Now you're gonna have to deal with Xander! Magi Staff, Vine Power!" Xander summoned long vines that wrapped around Imperious and lifted him into the air.
"You got me! Help me! Help!" Imperious cried mockingly, before laughing. He cast a spell of his own, destroying the vines. "You should be doing you magic at children's parties!" He laned in front of Xander and cast another spell that wrapped vines around the Green Ranger, before casting another spell that blasted him repeatedly.
"Next!" Imperious called mockingly as Xander crashed to the ground.
"Let's see how you handle Tornado Power!" Vida stepped up and turned into a tornado. "I'm going to blow you away!" She yelled at the mummy.
"I don't think so." Imperious laughed. He cast another spell that transformed him into a dark tornado, and he knocked Vida flying.
"You better cool it!" Maddie yelled as she sent a jet of water at Imperious. He blocked it with magic of his own that caught the Blue Ranger and tossed her high into the air, before leaving her to crash back down.
"Maddie!" Nick ran over to her.
"Try and stop this!" Chip summoned lightning. Imperious raised his fan, and caught it easily. "But how?!" Chip cried in horror.
"I have stronger magic!" Imperious told him with a laugh. "That's how!" He told the Yellow Ranger, and combined Chip's magic with his own to throw back at him.
"Try me on for size, you big bully!" Avril raised her Magi Staff and summoned a shied, blocking a stray of lightning. "Eclipes Dark power!" A dark cloud appeared on the tip of her Staff and she hurled it at Imperious.
"Oh please." Imperious sounded board as he raised his fan, and easily blocked it. "I'm insulted for a witch who wears the symbol of the Solaris Knight!" He cast another spell, and more dark magic slammed into Avril, she hit the ground hard. "Hotaru!" He stalked over to her. "The daughter of the man who annoys me the most." He pointed his fan at her, and she magicaly rose and her Ranger uniform shattered as she struggled. "I've been waiting years for this!" He laughed, and with a wave of his fan, she was thrust backwards, and she hit the ground rolling.
"Avril!" Chip cried as he jumped up and rushed over to her.
"Out of the way, Yellow Wizard!" Imperious waved his fan, and Chip went flying where he crashed into his friends.
"Your magic is strong, my dear." Imperious laughed as he continued to walk up to Avril, who reached out for her wand before she was able to get back to her feet. "I can give you the answers that you so want answered."
Avril held her wand tightly. "You go to hell!" She glared dangerously at him.
"Oh I've been there!" Imperious said cheerfuly. "It's quit lovely."
"MAGICAL SOURCE, MYSTIC FORCE!" Avril morphed once again. "Power of the Eclipes, Gold Mystic Ranger!" Her long cape waved behind her.
"You think you can stop me, Hotaru?" Imperious demanded. "I'd like to see you try!"
"That's it!" Nick suddenly ran at him. "Power of the Phoenix!" He flew into the air, and hurled down towards Imperious, only for the Dark Wizard to block it. Wordlessly, he hit Nick across the chest and threw him back.
"Nick!" Avril caught him.
"I was misled into thinking you would be a more powerful adversary." Imperious commented, disappointed as he watched the Rangers regroup. "Udonna has not chosen wisely. But now I will show you real power!" Imperious began to grow, and the Rangers stared up at him. "Hotaru, you disappoint me the most!" He shook his head. "It's too bad the Solaris Knight isn't here!" He laughed. "He would enjoy destroying his own daughter! For your sake, Daggeron has disappeared! Now fight me, Rangers!"
"We've got a few tricks too!" Nick yelled up at him. "Ready?"
"Ready!" The Rangers combined to form their Megazord, but as they looked up, they found that the didn't even reach Imperious' knee. With a swift kick, he knocked them through the air.
"Come on!" Nick yelled as they called on their blade. They flew into the air, casting their spell seal.
"Oh look, a flea!" Imperious exclaimed, and flicked them aside before they could go through the seal. They slammed into the ground, letting out yells. "I am growng board with this annoyance!" He sighed, holding out his fan and blasting them again.
"We're not done yet!" Nick yelled, refusing to give up.
"TITAN MEGAZORD, FULL POWER!" They held their hands out and called on more magic, flying into the air.
"It is time to end this!" Imperious raise his fan, ready to strike then down one more time.
"Whoa!" Hearing Jenji cry out, they looked around to see the genie growing much larger, reaching Imperious height.
"Jenji!" Nick's mouth fell open as they looked up at him.
"What's this?" Imperious stepped back in surprise.
"Alright! Who's your daddy now, mummy?" Jenji taunted. He held his paws together, before holding them out. "Look at this! Look at this! What's in my paws?" He asked as he put them together.
"Foolish cat!" Imperious growled, swinging to attack him.
"Wrong! Power Rangers!" Jenji opened his paws and the Megazor flew out of them, slashing Imperious across the face. "Ahah! Being big is good!" Jenji laughed as the mummy crashed to the ground, shaking the city.
"You were lucky!" Imperious growled as he got back to his feet, a hand to his face. "Take this!" He held out his fan, only to scream as blue electrity ran from it up his arm.
"Take what?" Jenji asked, titling his head.
"My magic is still weak from my time in the cave. I need to recharge." Imperious muttered. "My apologies for not destroying you as promised, but I will!" He promised them, turning around "Luthar!" He cast a spell and disappeared.
"Yeah? Well, you're a bigger luthar!" Jenji called after him. "Peace out mummy!" He taunted.
XxXxXxXx
Having remembered that they left Phineas with Toby. Vida, and Xander ran back to Rock Porium to see how it had gone.
"Toby! We are so glad you're here." Xander grinned at their boss. "We've looked all over the city for you, and Phine - Uncle Phineas." He corrected himself.
"He's fine!" Toby told them with a strange lisp. "We had a great day today. Just look at him." He walked out from behind the counter and pointed up to the small stage, where Phineas was rocking out with the cutout of Jake Bonebreaker, who was wearing the coat and hat they given him, a small crowd was watching as he screeched along.
"It's like he's never listened to rock and roll before." Toby smiled.
"What have we done?" Vida asked.
"I think we've created a monster." Xander couldn't stop laughing as they watched the Troblin.
XxXxXxXx
Returning to Rootcore to introduce Udonna to Jenji, the genie stood outside as Maddie, and Vida guided Udonna along.
"Can't you just tell me the surprise?" Udonna asked with a smile as they walked out of Rootcore.
"No." Vida laughed.
"Alright, we hope you like pets, because we have a new cat." Maddie giggled. "Open your eyes." And Udonna did as instructed.
"It's me! I'm the cat!" Jenji announced.
"Jenji!" Udonna cried as the two hugged.
"Udonna, you haven't aged a day!" Jenji replied as the two hugged tightly.
"I think we can keep him." Xander grinned to his friends.
"Where have you been?" Udonna asked.
"Well, let me tell you."-
"Bowen!" Udonna quickly interrupted. "Where is Bowen?" She asked urgently, worry completly written on her face. "Do you know where he his? Please tell me, Jenji." She pleaded as the Rangers looked at each other confused.
"No, you see."-
"Somebody, help me!" Clare's cry came from inside Rootcore. And the group ran inside, to find Clare struggling to stay on as the egg she was still perched on shook violently. "It's gonna hatch!" They caught Clare as she was thrown off, and they watched as the egg broke open to reveal the black, red and gold baby dragon.
"Waste of a perfectly good omelette." Jenji complained as the baby dragon chirped and broke the last of the egg.
"Mama." Baby Fire Heart spoke when he laid eyes on her. Everyone burst out laughing as Clare looked alarmed.
XxXxXxXx
Next up: Daggeron!
