Power Rangers In Retrograde - Mystic Force – Trick 38 What's That? What's That? Part 2

As they continued to laugh Blecker helped Nicole to stand just as Daggeron and Jenji came back into the opening their arms weight down with a mix of fruits and vegetables, just standing there, confused.

"Feeling better?" Blecker smiles, "less horny?"

Daggeron looked to Jenji and the two just blink at each other a few times, "Uh...yes...actually."

"I'm so glad!" Nicole smiles, laughing, "I'm so sorry for dragging you down to my level with my pheromones. My better half helped me get a handle on them by remind me who I am. Won't happen again! Promise."

"Nicole dear," Blecker smirked, "Jenji and Daggeron just has their sex of their lifetimes with a pair of nubile, horny, willing catgirls with no worry of accidental pregnancy...pretty sure their fine."

Nicole, Jenji, and Daggeron all looked away blushing, only broken when Daggeron coughed, "T-This place has become a veritable garden. I don't think we'll have any trouble finding enough food to keep you in good health."

"As for comfort," Jenji piped up waving his arms dramatically as a door to nowhere appeared to the side of him, "Trust in Jenji the Jenji, and behold the Room of Luxury, behind this seemingly innocuous door is the Bedroom of Delight, a mystical place that is always pleasant warm and with sheets as soft as silk. No more sleeping on the cold hard ground for us. It even has a full wash room and sauna to wash away all your worries and grime."

The Bleckers smile, "Sounds wonderful."

Getting back into the groove Daggeron laughs as he approaches the Duo, offering an apple to each, Blecker, being a Shadow, refuses but Nicole wolves it down. "I have to say that evil laugh you did to taunt the Master was spot on, I was actually worried for a second you might be the manifest evil energy she was using to seal the Master."

Setting the food down as Jenji joined them Nicole dropped into a squat as hunger and instinct took over and she started to shovel food into her mouth, chomping loudly, what ever part of her was concerned with feminine grace and poise was dropped for the hunger, "I'm famished."

Blecker smiles, "Well you know I have always loved setting up set pieces, scenes with my action figures."

"Dolls," Nicole interrupts.

"No action figures," he corrects. "We never owned dolls."

"I distinctly remember the dollies our mother would get us for our birthday and holidays," Nicole protested, "I loved them all to death!"

Blecker just shook his head, "Our parents bought us many things, toy cars, video games, action figures, building blocks, but never dolls. And when we got older were were more interested in computers and games, even took classes in high school to learn how to make them. We were too busy learning how to program to play with dolls and have make believe tea parties."

Nicole pauses, a confused look on her face as she looks up to Blecker, "Y-Yeah your right...I remember that now..." then she squealed, "It was much more fun making that game that let us customize our own dollies and make their own clothes!"

Blacker just sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose, "That was a MMO, we played a paladin remember, we may have spent twenty minutes tweaking her appearance but it wasn't a regular thing."

Daggeron smiles, "Sounds like your a good influence on her, shes coming out of the shell constructed by the Pink Energy."

Blecker smiled, "That's why I'm here, the frustration been building for months, the sense of loss of self. We've just become possible where we could produce a solution."

"But I'm still all woman!" Nicole protests wiping her face clean as she stands up to face Daggeron, "And I still think your cute and want to make out with you! Jenji too."

Daggeron and Jenji look to Blecker, "Is that...alright?"

Blecker smiles, "The Pink Energy is part of us. I've given Nicole full permission to embrace it as long as she keeps me in her heart. If the Pink Energy wants to make out with you, if we want to make out with you, then I won't object...just make sure you refresh the contraception spell first."

Daggeron laughed, as did Jenji, "I think we can work with that."

"So," Blecker wonders as Nicole drops back to a couch and continues eating messily. "Is that orb the only reason you are here?"

Daggeron laughs nervously, "N-Not exactly...originally I was planning to begins instructing you how to harness all the elements. You should be able to use them to bolster the power of your natural Pink Energy like other who have shared energy have done."

"Others?" Nicole pauses looking up, "There have been others who shared energy?"

Jenji nods, "It's not that unusual, though eventually the energy is converted to the users natural energy."

Daggeron nods, "Though in some rare cases the new energy is quite aggressive and take over the natural energy, transforming the wielder's nature. But Of course you're different, the energy is compartmentalized in fact I wouldn't be surprised if you would treat energy of the same color as 2 different forces and keep each separate. When I looked at your Power I noticed 2 Pink energy segment, in addition to The Masters attempts to control you, AND his purified energy from before. 4 different segments of what is only 2 elements. With training I see no reason you could not only learn to draw power from those other segments but also to make them grow and to use them as naturally as your own Pink Energy. You may be the first person in the history of good magic who could actually use Dark Magic for good."

Jenji beams, "What can I say, I do good work!"

Nicole looks up to Jenji purring, before she ounces on him licking his face affectionately, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" tears streaming down her fact as Jenji laughs and holds her close, "You don't know how long I've been worried about being consumed like Xander was, despite everyone's assurances, or complete loosing myself to the Pink Energy! But if I can strengthen my Red or Yellow energy, or even Gold energy I would have something as strong as the Pink to reinforce my masculinity!"

"Well don't get too masculine," Jenji purrs gently stroking her hair, "I like this side of you!"

"Deal!" Nicole purrs as her clothes disappear and she claws at Jenji's pants. "One thankful catgirrrrrrl coming rrrrrrrright up!"

Daggeron blushes as Blecker leads him off, "Let's give them some privacy."

"Agreed," Daggeron nods as the sounds of two cats mating loudly fills the glade, "Oh and don't worry about her getting pregnant...that one of the things Jenji lost when he became a genie."

"Poor guy," Blecker says glancing back, "I just lost my manhood but Jenji really lost everything, didn't he?"

Daggeron nods sadly, "If he is away from his lamp for too long he'll vanish for good, and he can never bear children."

"Not even if someone wished he could?"

Daggeron stops, "You know I never thought of that..a genie's magic is second only to the Tribunal who rules All Magic, only they can overturn a wish so I suppose if someone wished Jenji was mortal he could bear children and leave his lamp."

Blecker nods, "It's too bad we have all used out wishes," his head bowing, "mostly on me...I feel so selfish."

Daggeron muses, "Lienbow and Udonna are out, they made wishes before your time."

"Oh really? What?"

"Has Xander or anyone ever explained the relationship between magic?"

"He's go over it once or twice while we were...relaxing…in his new realm."

"Good then I don't have to explain how Fire and Ice aren't the best of matches."

Blecker nods, "So Udonna wished to have a child and that's how Bowen was conceived...is that always why he was the Light? Because he was born of a wish?"

"Not quite," Daggeron explains, "Bowen is The Light because his parents are the strongest sorceress and warrior of good magic. Their Ties to the Magical Source so strong that their union was bound to produce someone special but of course their opposing elements made that completely impossible."

"I see, and Lienbow?"

Daggeron laughs, "His wish was far less life changing, he wished for a home, a place safe from evil he could perfect his craft...that place ultimately became Rootcore."

Blecker laughs, "Of course, not every wish is going to be for the benefit of the world, some are just plain vanity."

Daggeron lowers his head, his voice softer, "And some only make things worse."

Blecker nods, putting a hand on Daggeron's shoulder, "Say no more."

"T-Thanks."

"In any case," Blecker shifts the conversation, "What about Clare? Or Toby? What About May? We have new team members and some who have never made a wish before like Kat and my brother..."

Daggeron nods, "Normally I like to avoid encouraging rampant wish making, but if it's for a good cause...maybe."

"Jenji has been stuck like that for years right? We owe it to him to try."

Daggeron looks back to the glade, the voices of Nicole and Jenji still audible through the trees, "Y-You're right."

Vida held the short black dress in her hand, her fingers gently caressing the fabric, her eyes glued on the material. A girl danced in her mind, smiling, hanging on the arm of a young man, but she couldn't make out the faces of either.

"That dress really has you smitten, it remind you of something?" Robert smiled.

"What?! No!" Vida protested as she quickly put the dress back on the rack.

Robert laughed as he pulled it free, "I'll ring it up, why don't you head over to the changing room so you can try it on."

"H-Here? Now?" Vida flustered.

Robert smiled, "If it's getting that kind of reaction from just holding it then wearing it has to go something loose right?"

Vida grew redder, "R-Right."

As Robert walked off with the dress she fidgeted, 'Who was that boy,' her mind wandered, 'who was that girl? Was that girl me?' Her eyes traced to Robert, 'Was that boy Robert but my new face has him confused?'

'Here you go,' Robert smiled as he returned, handing off the dress that had Vida bolting into the changing room as she threw off her old clothes and slipped into the slick black number with growing delight.

"I got you some shoes to match, think I guessed you side all right." Robert called from the other side of the door as he slipped a pair of modest black heels under the door.

Vida's didn't understand why but slipping on the heels made her even more excited, 'I hope he likes me!' her mind squealed, even as another part of her wanted to know who 'he' was, but it was clear from the reaction she was having she was madly in love with him.

"How do I look!" Vida twirls out of the changing room with a brad smile, walking on air, "Do you like it?"

"You are very pretty," Robert smiles as he gathers up her discarded clothes and slips them into a bag, offering his arm "where to next?"

The boy and girl in Vida's mind danced back in, the girl wore the dress, and she knew it was her even if she couldn't see the face. And if the girl was her, she paused and looked at Robert's face as she processed his question, drawing a blank.

Robert just smiled, "Well there's clearly someone special in your life, a boyfriend maybe? Why don't we see about makeup, maybe visit the salon. Sound good?"

'Anything you say sounds good,' she purred and she cuddled with his arm, 'Sounds Good.'

Robert smiles, "Alright the makeup department it is."

Vida squealed in delight, yes if the girl in her mind was her it was pretty obvious who the boy had to be...Robert...she was in love with Robert…now if only should could remember her own name...

LeeLee felt content, her black cheeks flushed with color as she sat in a food coma, bags upon bags of artificial plasma surrounded her, as did several technicians poking and pondering her and reading information fed from sensors wired to her body. Her eyes drifting closed as she just let the blood course through her veins. She didn't even care about how bland it tasted she just felt soooo good.

"Would you look at that!"

"Fascinating."

A pair of the scientists cooed as LeeLee's his expanded before their eyes, and her bust expanded while LeeLee sat in content bliss.

'He's mine!' LeeLee clung jealously to Nick as she stuck out her tongue at Madison and Vida.

'LeeLee,' Nick sighed.

"LEELEE!" Her eyes shot open and she shifted back to human form, even back to her true form, though she kept the expansions of her bust and hips, "My name is LeeLee!"

"You remember your name?" Roberta smiled at her, "That's wonderful."

"I remember everything," she cheered leaping up and pulling several wires out of their machines.

Then her eyes went wide as she saw the piles of back and her hands immediately went to her mouth, "Oh god...I remember everything...I'm going to be sick."

And immediately LeeLee began to vomit her lunch all over the clean lab floors, unfortunately for LeeLee as much as she wanted to purge herself of the plasma that wasn't going to happen and even with Roberta acting quick enough to hold her hair back LeeLee was easily covered in her own bile.

"Ugh...so much blood..."

A scientist offered he a bottle of water that she snatched up and used to wash the vomit from her mouth making an even bigger mess as she collapsed back into her chair, "Are you going to be okay Ms. Pimvare?"

LeeLee groaned as she waved a hand dismissively, "F-Fine...I just never thought I'd actually gorge myself on blood I feel so….dirty."

"Your mother suggested that at full power you might be able to restore some of the other victims so we had another unit looking for any recent amnesiacs, are you still up for the task."

"Not really," LeeLee groaned, "But I have a responsibility right? That's what the other Rangers would say."

"You don't have to force yourself," Roberta offers.

"N-No," LeeLee holds back a second round, "I-I'll be fine in a few. Just get them ready, r-remember its best if their asleep and dreaming. I-I should be able to use my b-blood magic as well to reshape their bodies into what they once were as well."

"We can sedate them and induce a REM state, don't worry."

"Is there anything else we can do?"

LeeLee looked at the pile of bags and began to vomit again, "Y-Yeah, I might be able to fix one, maybe two people...h-how many victims are there?"

"Given we can't determine if their amnesia is due to this monster or un related trauma there are over a dozen people incoming.

"A d-dozen," LeeLee pales.

"Over..."

"...a dozen."

LeeLee starts vomiting again, "I-I'm going to need more blood...and a hot bath afterward...a-and a good meal...a-and a couple dozen barf bags."

The lead scientist nods, "We have you covered, I think we can even get higher up to swing for some spending cash, maybe arrange a hotel and flight to some place you'd like to visit?"

LeeLee smiled though the disgust, "F-For two?"

"I think we can swing that."

LeeLee smiled, her disgust abating at the idea of a private vacation with Nick, "Let's get this over with then."

"I don't like this," Chris whispered into the device in her ear, "May really shouldn't be out here with out trying to lure out a monster that steal memories and physical traits."

"Can't be helped," Kat speaks into her own earpiece, "Daggeron and Nikki are off world, Vida is still MIA, presumably drained, and all the other rangers are recovering from blood loss, May is the only one who has any kind of magical defense in her sword and armor. It's up to the three of us until LeeLee and Necrolai cure all those victims. If we're lucky Vida will be one of the first."

"Girls?" May talks into her own ear piece as she patrols the streets in full armor while Kat and Chris were in full Ranger form, "Does it bug anyone else that most of the victims are women? You think we have some kind of chauvinist?"

"I don't think so," Chris answers back, "The initial attack was against a female monster, some kind of bird/harpy. If I were to put money down I'd say she's vain, she's not just taking memories shes changing people appearances, but why?"

"You think shes draining physical traits from the victims as well?" May wonders.

"Wouldn't be the first time, during my time with Project SPD I familiarized myself with as many previous Power Ranger enemies and teams as possible, I can think of at one one other monster with a similar MO off the top of my head and I'm sure if took a few minutes could remember several more. Stealing beauty is a pretty old fable and more then one monster past Rangers have fought has come from myth."

"Very clever," Harpy emerges from a spell seal with Summer beside her and a contingent of Hidiacs, "But I think most women would agree that I bring a blessing, who wouldn't want to shave off a few years, a few pounds. Sure they loose all their memories and their life span is shortened but really who needs memories when you get to be a teenager again?"

"You!" Kat hisses as she drops into a low combat stance, "I'll put a stop to you at once!"

Harpy laughs as she create several bubbles around her with her staff that float toward Kat, "Restrain her would you my dear."

Summer growls as she lunges toward Kat, "Just keep your blasted bubbles off me."

"ROWL!" Kat hisses, "Girls she's here, come assist!"

"On my way!"

"Coming!"

Jenji sighed as he held Nicole close, the two felines cuddled up together on the warm grass purring at each other, "That was wonderful," Jenji spoke softly, a hit of regret in his voice, "felt like I was back home...before..."

Nicole purred as she pressed closer, "We could go at it again."

Jenji shook his head, "N-No I know I can never give you what..." he paused and reflected, looking into the shimmering green eyes of Nicole and all those sparkles of color that danced within, "...it's not even something you want, just something that tainted feline magic wants."

Nicole purrs softly as she sees Blecker and Daggeron returning ad cuddles closer into Jenji, "I don't know what I want...but I had fun," she purrs seductively.

"You going to keep dodging your responsibility?" Blecker cast a chastising gaze at his counterpart.

Nicole shrank away burying her head in her chest and whispering, "N-No..."

"Good," Blecker said darkly as he looked to the water as a lone tentacle snaked toward the felines but Daggeron was able to blast it away with his Laser Lamp.

Nicole sighed as she smelled the burnt tendril, she had been dreading this and summoned new clothes, "It won't hold will it."

Blecker looked to Daggeron for confirmation, "Doesn't look like it."

Nicole sighs, before smiling and taking a firm stance, "It's alright I had a good cat nap, ate a lot of good food and got in some exercise, I'll nail the seal this time for sure."

Blecker sighed, as Nicole summoned out her catgirl army of Shadows. Two Pinks, a Green, a White, a Gold, a Red, a Blue-White, a Navy, a Yellow, an Orange, a Silver, and a Blue. All The colors of the magic within her save for the Black energy of The Master himself.

With a deep breath Nicole transformed into the Black Ranger and turned her Mystic Morpher toward the water, forming another Dark Seal as her Shadows, Daggeron, and Blecker prepared to face whatever comes.

LeeLee looked pale, even for a vampire, and she never looked pale, her hands cupped around a bag as she emptied her stomach's contents into the bag. As she was retching her ears tingled, a famialr voice was comming from the room over.

'M-Mom...is that you?'

Forcing herself to her she she followed the voice as she reflexively called on her powers, which due to her blood gorging simmered at the surface, turning to smoke. And gasped silent as she looked in to see Necrolai collapsed over a young girl that familiar red glow in her eyes as one of the aides help her to a seat.

"One more down," she trembled, "By the Master I haven't done this in ages, I'm getting rusty."

The aide handed her a blood pack that she drank from greedily like a child with a juice box, a smirk on her face, "The food isn't even that good."

'She's actually helping restore their memories?' If LeeLee was not in smoke form she be fighting back tears, to see her mother actually sacrificing her energy for strangers made her immaterial heart sing and she turned away as she became solid and marched back into the other room.

"Back so soon Ms. Pimvare?" the aide said surprised.

LeeLee fought down the bile as she shifted to vampire form, "I'll be fine now, just keep the coming as quickly as possible, and keep the blood coming."

"Are you sure, each one seems to take more and more out of you."

LeeLee paused, a part of her stomach twisted at the thought of drinking more blood but she redoubled her resolve. He mother, the Queen of Vampires, admitted agent of evil, was setting aside her own morals to help mortals, to help food, and what was she doing, being squeamish about drinking a little blood, artificial blood at that so no people were harmed in the process. LeeLee was better then that and she intended to prove it to herself if no one else.

"I'll be fine," She smiled, "now we have people to save right?"

"Right," The aide smiled, hurrying for the door, "I'll prep the next victim."

"Well what do you think?" Vida bounced with excitement, her hair was about shoulder length thanks to extensions and looking quite fancy, "Does my boyfriend like it?"

Robert should have seen the writing on the wall when Vida first clung to him after the dress, he was stupid, "I-I'm not..."

Vida pulled him closer, kissing his cheek, "My face was changed remember? Come on I remember you! I remember my feeling for you! Look past the features and remember all the good times we had together."

"Miss," Robert said coolly, "I don't have a girlfriend, never have for several years."

Vida world started to crumble, "N-No that can't be right, I r-remember you, when you got me the dress. I saw...I saw."

Robert held the trembling girl close, "you wanted something to cling to...I...I'm sorry. But Roberta and the others are making great strides and..."

"No!" Vida refused to give up on the one memory she had, clearly the monster had erased their relationship, but she would make him remember, tears streaming down from her eyes she pressed her lips to Robert's, danced her tongue with his, let their saliva mix and then pulled away.

She felt nothing.

"It's alright," Robert says softly as he holds her close, "Come one lets head back to San Angeles. LeeLee can restore your memories."

A sigh of disappointment hanging on his voice, "I really can't do anything without Roberta."

Vida was still a storm of confusion, the one 'memory' she had was a desperate fabrication of her mind but Robert seemed so hurt, and she knew it was her fault, she had to make things right.

"N-No I jumped the gun, the dress did spark something and I just leaped at the nearest guy, let's keep going."

"No," Robert sighs, "We have a solution we should just go back to San Angeles, LeeLee can even restore your body which is more then I can ever hope to do."

Vida grabbed his hand dragging Robert off, "I said we're doing it this way, now come on there's a music store just down the hall here let's find something to jog a few memories."

Robert sighs, "If you insist."

"Hold on Kat we're coming!" Chris/The Gold Ranger called as she endured the onslaught of blows from Summer the Bear.

"Don't loose yourself," May added as she cut her way with the Hidiac forces.

At the center of the bout was Harpy laughing in delight and caressing her face as Kat floated in in the bubble unmoving, "How delightful, such a vast life force, I've already gotten back decades what these mortal girls would give in years, just how much energy can you spare?"

"Damn it," Chris growls, "She's going to get turned into a baby at this rate!"

"Drive Geyser!"

"Drive Defender!"

"Delta Blaster!"

The tables were turned as Three new Rangers flew onto the field, All 3 wielding blasters, in the came of the new pink rangers a hydro blaster that caused Harpy to fall back and the bubble to pop, The SPD Red Ranger Prototype charged ahead and knelt by Kat, "You alright Dr. Manx?"

"Dr. Manx?" She said confused.

"Blasted Ranger interrupting my meal!"

Chris and May gather up around the new comers as Summer back up by Harpy, as the remainder of the Hidiacs gather by her.

"It's me," SPD Red says softly removing his helmet to reveal an older man, probably in Daggeron's range, "Eddy, Edward Tate. We worked together on Project SPD which produced this suit. I have a son Sky, don't you remember? You were the best girl at my wedding."

"We were married?" Kat says confused.

Eddy growls as he glares at the monster helping Kat to her feet, "Get to cover, I'll beat the memories out of that monster for what he did to yo..."

He didn't finish the sentence before Harpy launched an energy attack his way, Kat scrambling for cover as Eddy threw up his arm in a circular motion blocking the energy with a shield of power.

"Coooooool!" May beams, "He has a forcefield!"

"How long can you keep that up?" Overdrive Pink asked.

Eddy growled, "Long enough."

"Alright everyone behind Eddy, we're going to use his shiled as a battering ram to get close and finish this fight!"

"Right!"

Eddy slipped back on his helmet and clenched his fists, charging toward Harpy, Summer, and the Hidiacs, his shield flashed with every blast it took but it held.

"I really don't like taking male energy but you've forced my hand," Harpy scowled as she sent a bubble toward Eddy.

"Watch out," Chris shouts, "If that hits you you'll go blank like Kat."

Eddy saw red and wound both his arms in a circle creating a new shield that curved in toward him slightly and easily encompassed his who height, the effort drew a grunt and he dropped to one knee for a moment but he pressed on and the bubble popped as it hit the shield and could not absorb it.

"N-No get back, get BAAAAAAAACK!" Harpy howled as the 6 Rangers tore into her, Summer, and the Hidiacs, destroying the foot soldiers and sending the Summer and Harpy flying back.

Harpy groaned as she handed something to Summer as she pushed herself to a knee, "For the Master."

"Tough luck Rangers we still win this round," Summer nodded, growling as Harpy exploded, then summoned a spell seal to make her escape, "You may have stopped Harpy but she gifted all the life force she collected to me and I am no so easy to defeat. Your friend is lost for good!"

Eddy demorphed as Summer vanished and ran to Kat's side, Chris right beside him, "Kat? KAT? You remember me right?"

She just shook her head softly, "Who's Kat?"

"Damn it!" Eddy slammed his fist on the ground, "I'll destroy that monster for this!"

Chris put his hand on Eddy's shoulder, her voice warbling, "It's alright the source is destroyed and we have friends who can reconstruct the memories in San Angles, she will be fine."

"B-But the monster also shortens their lifespan," May says softly.

Chris winced, "I know."

Eddy growled again and pounded the ground, "Damn it! Damn it all to hell!"

Nicole/The Black Ranger let out a sensual moan, her legs trembling, tendrils of the master had not only slipped between her legs but were piercing her suit, weaving in and out like roots through the earth. The other Shadows and Solaris were fending off other tendrils, the master didn't have enough strength to create Hidiacs, and Blecker and one of the Pinks were doing there best to hold Nicole upright despite all the tentacles trying to pull her underground.

"We need to start cutting off these tentacles," Blecker suggests, "or The Master is just going to keep pumping more and more darkness into you until you cave."

Nicole purred sensually a moment and went limp, nearly dropping the Black Morpher but recovered before she did, "Let him try, he's only digging himself deeper."

Her knees finally buckled as Nicole fell onto her rear ends, moaning softly as her free hand began to massage her breasts a moment.

"You're not going to last much longer," Blecker warned as he keep her other hand stiff and firm as the magic poured out into the dark seal as tendrils spread Nicole legs wider and tied her down, as others tried to pull her back flush with the ground but her two helpers at the very least kept her sitting upright and the Black Morpher on target.

"There done," Nicole said weakly as a wave of darkness erupted from the lake, knocking everyone over and dispursing all the shadows, even Blecker, and demorphing Nicole and Daggeron who rushed to her side even as the tendrils piercing her body began to slow withdraw into the earth.

Daggeron sat behind her letting her collapse into his lap, she was panting, soaked with sweat completely wiped out.

"I-I did it," Nicole smiled as she closed the Black Morpher, pausing as she noticed something strange, notably that the tips of her fingers with puffer, wider, less dexterous...less human, with the tips and her palm covered by black callous, paw padding. A cursory look town also caught a change to her feet, while before they were human but bore claws they now had completely transformed into those of a feline.

"My stomach feels funny," she growls softly.

"Jenji!" Daggeron calls as the genie takes shape, "What's the problem?"

"I fear the Master may be trying to recreate his pet, Nicole's hand and feet have already changed and she is complaining about stomach pains, I need you to remove her top."

Nicole twisted her head up to Daggeron, "Serrriously, that's yourrr excuse forrr making me strrrip?"

Daggeron looked as series as he ever did, "Your rolling your Rs, as well."

Nicole growls and say nothing as Jenji works the buttons on her blouse.

Then everyone gasped, "Why do I have 2 extra pair of nipples?!"

"That's not uncommon on felines," Jenji notes.

"It's worse then I feared," Daggeron says gravely.

Nicole growls as she pushes weakly into a squat, without her top and low as she was it felt...right...she shook the notion from her head, and pushed upright, wobbling slightly on her new digigrade toes, "I'm fine."

"I'll be the judge of that young lady, draw out your magic."

Nicole growled annoyed and reached in, the orb of magic was even bigger then before and the black magic dwarfed all others, even Nicole paused as Daggeron punched a ticket with his Morpher and threw it into the orb, it's colors faded as a new ratio formed.

"Just as I thought."

"What's this?" Nicole purred curiously as he knees gave and she collapsed into Daggeron's lap, "That was just exhaustion!" she yawn, "I just need a cat nap."

Jenji took the ball and pressed it back into Nicole's stomach, slowly.

"Their are many way to look at magic, not just by element or affinity but how it reflects the users body. For example if we were to look at Xander's energy I think we would find a larger portion of it was tied to Sprite form not a human male. It is why he slips into it so easily. The would be true of say Madison, she favors, magically speaking, being a woman. As do you naturally with your own Pink energy, but there are other forms your body has to contend with, your masculinity, sprite form, and of course the feline. Your Male energy is getting a resurgence thanks to Chip, Lienbow, mine, and even Calindor's energy but since the cat is tainted magic from Toby it has synchronized not with your normal human female energy like Pink, or even the Silver and Clear energy from Clare and Udonna but the Master Energy which is exponentially larger then any other energy in you. The More eneergy from the Master you absorb to fight him the more beastly you will become."

Nicole yawns as she nuzzles into Daggeron's chest, drifting off, "So, I've been a full on catgirrrrl beforrrre and surrrrrvived."

"It's still worrisome."

"Besides if it's just based on the otherrr enerrrgies that just means I need to make my human enerrrrrgies strrrrrongerrrr rrrright? I just need to trrrrain them?"

"Well yes but...look at how much dark energy there is."

Nicole yawns closing her eyes, "So teach me how to converrrrt my enerrrrrgies, that's what norrrrrmally happens rrrright, theirrrr has to be a way for me to rrrreproduce the natural effect."

Daggeron sighs as he gently strokes Nicole hair as she passes out completely, purring softly, "I suppose your right."

Vida looked back to Robert confused as she looked up at the sign of the Rock Porium, "Another Music Store?"

Robert smiled as a figured approached with a worn gait, "You seemed to feel at home in the last one but didn't find anything you liked so I called a few people who got me in contact with the proprietor of this place who agreed to open it after hours during the monster curfew since even the Power Rangers swear by this place so if any place will job a memory it has to be this place."

"Hope this helps," Toby groaned as he came into view rubbing his neck and yawning.

"Long day?"

"You have no idea," Toby groaned as he fumbled with the keys and opened the door slipping inside as Robert and Vida followed behind, "I'll be in my office knock when your done."

"Thanks Mr. Toby," Robert smiled as Toby quickly retreated to his office, locking the door behind him and passing out, shifting to catgirl form in the process.

Vida just stood in the main room silently, unmoving, flashes ran through her mind, movements, her body moving on its own toward the turn tables, it was like a trance, Robert smiled, his voice soft.

"Welcome Home, Pink Ranger."

And walked out with a sigh. As Vida sat down at the turntables a cloud of smoke materialized into the form of Necrolai, her eyes glowing red, locking Vida into her trance as she sank her fangs into her neck, "Welcome home, my daughter."

Robert of course saw none of this as he closed the door behind him, Roberta pulling up in the Operation Turbo jeep, "It was the right thing to do."

Robert sighs, "I know...but it feels wrong, she was so adamant about letting a vampire manipulate her mind but just running around places hoping something would be jogged free just so I can feel like I contributed to the solution was childish...still when she comes back to herself I hope she can forgive me for tricking her like that."

Roberta smiled, holding her counter part warmly, "You do contribute."

Robert forced a smile, "I know 'my memory engrams are based on yours.' and I know 'my combat efficiency is at it's highest when you are operating my systems remotely.' but none of that is me, the real me, I'm just a glorified train car operator, you're the train."

Roberta glowered at him as she pushed him away, "Are you calling me fat?!"

"Don't you start, you can't pull the angry girlfriend card on me!"

"We're breaking up," Roberta began to cry, but like other extreme emotions is was mechanical, a close but obviously fake approximation, "how could you do this to meeeeeee?"

"Please stop," Robert said coldly, "It's not funny."

Instnatly Roberta was back to her warm but slightly off normal standard and gripped the wheel, "The Power Rangers would like to meet you."

Robert sighs, "It's alright, we've wasted enough of Mr. Cranston's money let's just go home."

"Are you sure?"

Robert sighs as he nods, "Yes."

LeeLee tilted her head curiously at Kat as she woke up, she seemed paler but since she already had fangs it was hard to tell by that aspect, "Do you remember me?"

Kat moaned, "Of course I remember you LeeLee," her fangs grew longer as she flashed a smile, "We're sisters of the Blood," before turning to Necrolai who was drinking down Artificial plasma next to Vida in in the Cranston Labs, "That's right isn't it mistress?"

Necrolai flashed a dark grin, "Yes of course it is, my child."

LeeLee crossed her arms irritated, "I don't care what you say they did not need to be turned to be restored, none of the other people did."

"None of the other victims had active good magic. LeeLee my child we are creatures of the dark, of the night, you can deny it all you want, fight for good all you want but our nature is of The Pit. Good Magic would have interfered with that, I had to turn them."

LeeLee growled as Kat wrapped her arms around her, "I remember everything LeeLee, don't worry I'm not going to fly off and join the Master any time soon."

"Yeah," Vida adds, "Look at it like you gained a couple sisters instead of lets your mother create more vampires!" but her mood quickly soured, "But I feel sorry for Robert, he seemed so depressed, wish you could have waited a few minutes mistress I was honestly having a moment, I was remembering something, I think he would have liked to know his plan was working."

"We can pass along your sentiment," one of the scientists say offering the newly minted Vampire Alien Catgirl a plasma bag, "And Mr. Cranston has authorized us to give you all the plasma you can drink if your willing to let us examine you. There is much we can learn from your blood, your gifts."

Vida and Kat turned to Necrolai, "Mistress?"

"It's not the best blood but it's nourishing, and beats feeding on mortals or, blech, rodents so we can take the offer for now."

"I'll pass," LeeLee turns up her nose, "I prefer REAL food."

Necrolai smiled darkly, "Oh I'm afraid that's not possibly my dear, now that your powers have come into full bloom you are going to need blood as much as food to keep up your hybrid metabolism."

LeeLee scowled, "Just perfect."

"So will you join the program as well," the scientist asked, "a Hybrids data may even help in restoring some of your friends lost humanity."

LeeLee sighs, "I suppose that's as good a cause as any."

Necrolai grinned wider, "Excellent my dear, you make our mother proud."

Kat and Vida joined her grinning just as wide.

LeeLee shuddered.

"Now come my child," Necrolai took LeeLee hand turned to smoke, "There is much I need to teach you."
