"This training exercise is harder than it looks," said Daggeron. He had shrunk the Rangers down and taken them to an arena inside an old shoe-box. The exercise looked simple - retrieve six brooms with different coloured ribbons individually attacked, each ribbon corresponded with a Ranger. "Ready? Begin."

Kali glanced up at the broom with the black ribbon. Ever since learning that she had magical heritage, she had put more faith in her learning, and studied more than she had ever done in the human world. Rolling her wand in her hand, Kali pointed it at the broom, muttered a spell, and grinned as the broom floated down to her.

All around her, the others nabbed their brooms out of the air. The only room that didn't descend was Xander's, much to the annoyance of the Green Ranger. As Daggeron congratulated the others and complimented them on their retrieval, Xander run around shooting spell after spell at the broom, but to no avail.

"Get... down here! Come on! It's not working!" Xander yelled.

"Ah, Xander," the others sighed, resting on their brooms.

"What is wrong?!" Xander groaned.

Daggeron shook his head and wandered over to the Green Ranger. "Give it here," he said, taking Xander's wand. He flexed his wrist and a green spell hit the broom, causing it to fall to the floor. "Didn't you practice for this assignment?"

"He had a date last night!" said Nick.

"The others found time to practice," Daggeron scolded. "You have to work harder. Training is over for now."

Kali blinked and the training room disappeared and they returned to Root core.

"Welcome home," Jenji greeted.

"I expected better from you," Daggeron said as he brushed past Xander.

Kali turned to Nick as Xander scoffed and then wandered away. "That could've gone better," she muttered.

~X~

The next day, Daggeron took the Rangers out into the Mystic Forest. He had been dropping hints about their training exercise all morning but had refused to tell them exactly what they would be doing. Once deep enough into the woods, he stopped and turned to the expectant rangers.

"Are you going to drop the cloak and dagger act and tell us why we're out here, now?" Kali asked.

Daggeron nodded. "You will be running a sort of obstacle course," he explained. "Your objective is to find and recover six flags. The course has been designed to challenge each of your magical strengths." He turned to Xander. "Let's hope you do better than you did yesterday."

"'Let's hope you do better than you did yesterday'," Xander mocked, childishly.

"Seriously?" Kali asked. "You're just reinforcing the fact that you're a child."

"Whatever. But this guy is getting on my nerves," Xander said.

"What's your problem with him anyway?" Nick asked.

"Why does he think he can come in here and tell us what to do?" Xander asked. "He just showed up out of nowhere."

"So? Udonna wants him to train us," said Maddie.

"It's not just me. Chip doesn't like him either," said Xander.

Kali scoffed and glanced at Chip. The yellow ranger hadn't stopped moving since Daggeron had met them at Root core earlier.

"What are you talking about? I think he's great!" Chip answered, giddily.

"You're just mad because he embarrassed you," said Vida, calling the situation as she saw it. "Get over yourself."

"Come on," said Kali, walking away. "Let's go retrieve these flags before we're all in trouble."

~X~

The first flag was found floating above the ocean. There was nothing around for as far as the team could see, no other people, no islands, no ships. The waves crashed against the beach, leaving white foam in their wake.

"That flag has my name on it," said Maddie, taking out her wand. She waved it at the ocean and caused spouts of water to burst out of the waves, into the air. Running along the surface of each spout, Maddie snatched her flag out of the air. As she landed back on the back the scene changed and the waves disappeared.

"Whoa," said Chip, looking around. "Freaky."

Kali looked up at the forest. "It's like a simulation," she said. "The scene changes with every flag we find."

"Who's flag we looking for now?"

Kali shrugged. "I guess we start searching," she said, looking around. "Everyone keep your eyes peeled. This flag could be anywhere."

The search lasted only ten minutes before Vida called out that she had found her flag. It floated near the treetops, but not close enough to a tree where Vida could just climb up and get it.

"I got this," Vida grinned, grabbing her wand. "Magi Staff, Tornado Power!"

Air whipped around the pink ranger and levitated her into the air. She snatched her flag and landed back on the ground, turning to the others and holding the flag high.

"Nice one, Vida!" Kali grinned. "You still need to give us a warning when you do that, though."

Vida laughed.

The scene changed again, this time to the opening of a rather dark cave.

"Someone remind me to bring a flashlight the next time Daggeron takes us away from Root core," said Kali, feeling her way along the walls. She squeaked as she run into the back of someone and realised it was Chip after he lit his wand, casting a warm glow along the path.

Chip pretended to bow to Kali causing her to laugh. "Come on, the cave evens up down here," he said, leading her deeper. They stopped at a larger cavern and found their way blocked by a stack of boulders.

"Anyone see a flag?" Nick asked, stumbling along the rocky path.

"Hey, there's mine!" said Chip, spotting a yellow tassel sticking out from beneath the boulders.

"Try not to bring the house down," Kali said.

"Magi Staff, Lightning Power!" said Chip, thrusting his wand into the air. A single strand of yellow lightning hit the top of the boulders and they exploded, shattering as they smashed against the walls.

Chip retrieved his flag and turned to the others. "Where to now?" he asked.

"Over here!" Maddie called. "There's an opening."

The others followed her. The opening was a tight squeeze, and the team had to crawl most of the way, but when they passed through they found themselves in a brightly lit room.

"Whoa!" said Vida, covering her eyes with her hands. "Is this room made of diamonds or something?"

The room sparkled as light seeped in from a small opening in the top. It looked like the opening to a funnel.

"I think we're inside a volcano," said Kali, looking up.

"I hope it's not active," said Xander.

"I don't think Daggeron would've sent us in here if it were active," said Kali. She squinted her eyes and looked around, but couldn't see a flag. "Hang on. Let me try something." She took her wand from her belt and rolled it between her hands. "Magi Staff, Power of Darkness!"

The light dimmed a great deal and a black flag appeared in the centre of the room. Kali dashed forward and snatched it out of the air, before turning back to her friends.

"Nice one," said Nick.

"Who says darkness is a bad thing?" Kali laughed. When the scene didn't change, the team turned to Kali. "Maybe, we're supposed to go back through Chip's cave to get out," she added, pointing at the opening behind them.

When they arrived back at the opening of the cave, the Rangers found that they were no longer in the woods but rather a snow landscape. They trudged through the frozen wasteland for a few minutes before Nick spotted a large chunk of ice floating up ahead.

Inside the ice was a red flag.

"Come to papa!" Nick said, taking out his wand. "Magi Staff, Fire Power!" he shot a beam of fire at the ice cube and it melted, releasing the red flag which he caught mid-fall.

The scene changed and the team found themselves back in the woods.

"Hey, over there!" said Kali, pointing at a green flag floating above a ravine.

"Looks like you're up, Xander," said Nick. "Better hurry. We're almost out of time."

"No problem," said Xander, cockily. "This doesn't look too hard. Magi Staff, Vine Power!"

Kali cocked her head to the side as a vine appeared out of thin air. She glanced up and saw that it was attached to a thick tree branch above them, but something told her that it didn't look secure enough to support Maddie's weight, much less Xander's.

"Hold on," said Daggeron, appearing beside the team. Almost like he had been with them all along. "Are you sure this vine is strong enough to hold any member of your team?"

"Uh... sure. I mean, I guess so," said Xander. He gripped the vine with both hands, but before he could take a running leap, Daggeron stopped him again.

Gripping the vine with both hands, Daggeron jumped and swung across to the flag. For a second it looked like he might make it, but then the vine snapped and he plummeted to the river below, landing in the murky waters with a splash.

"Oh-no!" Xander cried, demorphing. "Uh-oh!"

"Nice one, Xander," said Vida, as Nick helped Daggeron out of the river, pulling weeds from around his neck. "Real nice."

"Oops," said Xander, smiling sheepishly.

"Your lack of practice could place your teammates in danger," said Daggeron.

"We're just training," said Xander.

Kali pinched the bridge of her nose and scoffed.

"Well, next time, it could be the real thing," said Daggeron. "Without practice, your magic will grow weak. Here, you're to stay and grow this acorn into a tree." He pressed the nut into Xander's hands.

Xander nodded. "No worries," he said, taking out his Morpher.

"Without your wand," Daggeron said, snatching the device from him. "You have all the strength you need inside you."

"But that could take all night," Xander protested. "And I have a hot date."

The others groaned.

"Not anymore," said Daggeron. He turned to the others. "Class dismissed."

With one final glance at Xander, the others headed back to Root core.

~X~

Kali folded her arms as she watched Xander snore loudly from his supervising chair.

"Xander's learned a new spell code," said Chip, wandering over with the others. "Sonic Disruption."

"Time for a little payback," said Vida, holding up a basket of CDs. She held them out in front of her and dropped them to the floor, causing a large crash.

Xander yelped and flew from his chair, looking around with wide eyes. He relaxed as the others laughed.

Kali grinned and hopped into the vacant seat. "Thanks, V," she said, propping her knees up in front of her as she wedged herself into the corner.

"Are you okay?" Chip asked.

"Yeah, I've just been up all night," Xander whined, rubbing his eyes with his hands. "Guys, you have to agree. Daggeron's got to go."

Kali frowned and looked up from her book. She was still reading the book that Udonna had given her on the former Mystic team, and had just started the chapter on the former Red Ranger. "Why do we have to agree?" she asked. "We all get on with him."

"He's singled me out," said Xander. "I thought we were a team, you know? Sticking together and everything else?"

"Where was that mentality when we suggested practising together?" Kali asked. "We made time, you just couldn't be bothered."

The others nodded.

"Besides, why would he want to single you out?" asked Vida. "Why are you so special?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Xander asked. "He's threatened by my good-looks."

Kali snorted.

"He's just jealous that he can't get a date for himself," Xander continued.

Glancing over the top of her magazine, Kali's eyes widened as she spotted Daggeron standing behind Xander. She bit her lip, glancing up at the others as Xander continued to rattle off why Daggeron was a bad person.

"... He's standing right behind me, isn't he?" Xander asked, finally noticing the looks his friends were giving him.

Kali shook her with silent laughter as Xander turned to face Daggeron. He sighed and avoided eye contact, looking at the floor instead.

"You're all coming with me on a very special assignment," said Daggeron. He held up his Morpher and punched a hole into a ticket. "We're going on a field trip."

A bright white light filled the shop and the street outside transformed into a very large, but empty platform. At the end of the platform stood a massive golden train.

"That's one big train," said Nick, leading the others out of the Rock Porium.

"You can say that again," Maddie laughed.

"This is sweet!" Vida grinned.

"All aboard!" Chip yelled, his voice echoing. "I always wanted to say that," he said as the others glanced his way.

Kali shook her head and pulled herself up onto the side of the train as one of the doors flew open. She led the way into the first compartment and flopped down onto the soft benches. "What haven't you always wanted to say, Chip?" she teased.

Chip grinned and leaned out of the window.

"This thing is classic," said Nick, sitting beside Kali and bumping shoulders with her.

"Oh, I wonder where we're going," said Maddie, leaning out of the window beside Chip.

"I'm sure wherever it is, it's terrible," Xander sighed.

Kali rolled her eyes as the green ranger sat opposite her. "You're the reason we're here," she said. "Don't forget that."

Xander glared at her.

"You know, the last time I was on a train was when Joe took us to Amsterdam," said Kali, laying her head against Nick's shoulder. "That was, what, four years ago?"

Nick nodded.

Vida glanced back at the pair. "Who's Joe?" she asked.

"My older brother," Kali answered. She looked away and drew her knees up underneath her as the whistle blew and the train started to move down the track.

Vida caught Nick's gaze and he shook his head, squeezing Kali's hand as the train picked up speed.

"This is going to be a blast," said Vida. She glanced back at Maddie as she squeezed her tightly.

"I think I'd rather be back at work," Xander huffed.

The team rolled their eyes as Maddie cupped Xander's face, and then patted him lightly on the head.

"Hey, guys, check this out," said Chip, leaning back so that he could see further ahead. Vida and Maddie fell into him, as Kali and Nick jumped to see what they were looking at.

Kali's eyes widened as she spotted the shimmering black hole in the middle of the track. "Are we going to hit that?" she asked over her shoulder.

"I think we're going to go through that," said Chip just as the front of the train arrived at the portal. It passed through without a moment's trouble, and the rest of the train, carriages included, followed.

~X~

For a second, there was only darkness. Then a single beam of light cut through and the train braked, knocking the team forward. Xander groaned as Kali landed in his lap, and the others landed on top of her.

"I wonder where we are?" said Maddie, extracting herself from the others and leading the way out of the compartment.

Kali righted herself and followed, with Xander slumping after her. She glanced back as she jumped down from the train, her eyes widening as Xander's clothes transformed right before her eyes. "Nice look, Xander," she teased.

Xander pulled a face as he looked down. "Save the comments for yourself," he said, looking back at her.

Looking down, Kali gasped as she noticed her clothes had changed too. Instead of the denim jeans and black halter that she had put on that morning, she was now wearing a native American dress with tassels along the chest bottom, complete with leather boots.

"Oh, cool costumes!" Maddie squealed and Kali looked to see that the whole team had a new dress code.

"Works for me," said Vida.

"I'll never get tired of inter-dimensional travel," said Chip.

Daggeron waited for Xander and Kali to reach him and the others and then launched into an explanation on where they were and why they were there. "This is the magical dimension of Shalifar. You need appropriate clothing because you're going to be staying here a while," he said.

"You're lucky that I find Native Americanism interesting," said Kali. "Otherwise you'd be getting an ear full for making me wear this."

"Duly noted," said Daggeron.

"It suits you, though," said Maddie, hugging Kali.

Kali laughed. "I like your's, too," she said, looking the blue ranger over.

"You're going to leave us here like this?" Xander asked, looking over his clothes in disgust.

"How long you are here is up to you," said Daggeron. He held up a ticket. "This is your way out." The ticket glowed and Daggeron tossed it away, watching as it disappeared into the distance.

"Wow. Good throw," said Jenji.

"Your quest is simple. Find the ticket," said Daggeron. "It will summon the train and bring you back home."

Jenji looked startled as he looked between Daggeron and the Rangers. "What? Whoa! Daggeron, you sure about this?" he asked, chasing after the Knight.

"This is ridiculous!" Xander protested.

"If you don't like it, all you have to do is find the ticket," said Daggeron.

"You can't leave them here," Jenji protested. "What will they eat? More importantly, what will eat them?" He gasped and the team shared confused looks.

"Good luck, Rangers," said Daggeron. He paused and then turned back. "Oh, and one more thing."

"There's more?" Jenji asked, flabbergasted.

"I'll take your morphers," said Daggeron, holding out his hand.

"Figures," Xander complained.

Kali rolled her eyes as she handed over her Morpher.

Daggeron nodded and walked away. Jenji hesitated, looking between the team and the knight. "Whoa, wait for me, I'm not staying!" he called, running towards the train. He climbed aboard and with a flash, the train disappeared.

Vida laughed as she turned to look at the looming trees in the distance. The entire place looked like it had been taken out of a movie.

"It reminds me of Skull Island," said Kali, folding her arms. She looked over her shoulder at Xander. "If I see a dinosaur and a giant ape, I'm going to kill you."

Chip laughed and placed his hand on Kali's shoulders as they started forward. They may have had a ticket to find, but they were going to have as much fun between here and there as they could.

~X~

Kali wobbled as she jumped from one grassy mound to another. She, Maddie, and Vida had been racing each other to the top of a large hill, while the boys followed behind at a much slower pace. She squeaked as she missed the next mound and slipped.

"Gotcha!" said Nick, his arms around her waist and holding her just above the floor. He set her back on her feet, just as Vida let out a whooping cheer having reached the top first.

Maddie laughed as she reached it second and hugged her sister.

"Hey, Chip, can I see your sword?" Xander asked.

Kali glanced back and rolled her eyes as Xander took the stick from Chip and snapped it in two. "Hey, sourpuss," she called, picking up a stone and tossing it at Xander. "What's your problem?"

"We're not on holiday," Xander said. "We're being punished."

"You're the only one who sees this as a punishment," said Kali. "Here, Chip," she added, passing him another stick. This was one thicker than the last and would've been harder for Xander to snap in two if he tried.

Chip grinned and started to wave the stick around, cutting down overgrown grass mounds as he made his way up the hill.

Xander glared at Kali as she turned away, following Nick up the hill. The pair reached the top just as Vida tossed a pair of mushroom-looking rattles at them.

"Come on, Kali," Vida said, shaking the two Maracas she was holding. "Chir-eeeee-bah!"

Kali laughed and allowed Maddie to pull her away from Nick. The pair joined Vida, bumping their hips together and making a ton of noise.

"Shake it, baby! Shake it!" Nick called, shaking his maraca. Even Chip joined in when he reached the top with Xander, tossing aside his sword to shake two maracas, and add to the noise.

Maddie laughed as she and Kali danced back-to-back, shaking the maracas in the air.

Xander rolled his eyes as watched them in a huff.

"Come on, Xander, loosen up," said Kali, tossing him her maraca.

"Why should I?" Xander asked. "We're stuck out here for no good reason." He made to throw the rattle into the trees but promptly dropped it as a roar ripped through the area.

Silence followed and then Chip screamed, dropped his maracas and bolted back down the hill.

"Chip!" the others yelled, chasing after him.

~X~

Kali clutched her side and rested against the trunk of a tree. She and the others had been running from whatever beast had made that god awful sound back at the top of the hill. They hadn't managed to get a good look, but whatever it was, it had to be big.

"Well, that was fun," said Nick, winding Kali's arm around his neck and placing his around her waist. He held her against him as they walked, trying to take as much weight off her as she dealt with the stitch in her side.

"I think we got away from that thing," said Xander, taking the lead.

"I hope we don't see or hear it again," said Maddie.

"What if there's more of them?" said Chip. "Like, hundreds."

Kali breathed in deeply. "Not helping, Chip," she said. "Besides, if there were hundreds, don't you think we would've seen them by now?"

Chip shrugged. "Well, that depends," he said.

"On?"

"How big this island is. Daggeron didn't exactly give us a map, so, for all we know, this place is massive which means whoever calls it home doesn't run into anyone or thing else for miles."

Kali took another deep breath. "That doesn't make me feel a whole lot optimistic about finding the ticket," she said. She squeaked as felt a hand squeeze her side and looked down, expecting to see Nick's grasp tighten around her hips. However, what she found was a large, fat finger. It pushed her to the left, pressing her up against Nick.

Vida looked wide-eyed as Nick and Kali landed beside her. They were sitting on top of some badly fermented pomegranates. "What the hell is that thing?" she asked.

"I didn't exactly get a good look at it," said Nick, shaking his head.

"Whoa!"

Kali looked up as Maddie landed beside her. She winced and sat up, rubbing her side.

"What happened?" Maddie asked. "Where are we?"

"If I had to guess," Kali answered. "I'd say in some giant's sack. This must be the beast that we heard earlier."

"Where is Xander and -" Nick broke off as Chip landed beside him.

Chip groaned and shook his head. "Xander's still out there," he said.

"Does he even know we're missing?" Vida asked.

"I called for him before I was dropped in here," said Chip.

Kali groaned and buried her head in her hands. "Daggeron predicted this," she said. "Remember yesterday? After we pulled him out of the river? He told Xander that his lack of practice could put the rest of us in danger, now, suddenly, the rest of us are abducted and Xander's left to save us."

"He'll come through," said Vida. "He always does."

"Before or after one of us gets eaten?"

~X~

None of the rangers knew how long they had been trapped in the sack for. But soon they were dropped onto the rocky ground and when the sack was opened they saw that they were inside a cave. Compared to them, the cave was massive, and the beast that towered over them looked terrifying.

The giant rounded up the rangers, blocking off every exit he could find as they scattered, and then bound them in a thick rope. He tied it off around a boulder, preventing them from moving too far. The giant then dropped down onto the floor, causing a small earthquake, as he set about lighting a fire with a stick and piece of flint.

"What is he doing?" Vida whispered, watching as the giant carved a spike out of another piece of plywood.

"Looks like he's carving some of kind of roasting stick to cook us over that fire," Nick answered.

"That's weird 'cause all the books I've read about giants say that they boil their dinner," said Chip.

Kali glanced to her left. "If my hands were free, I'd hit you," she said.

The giant roared and pointed the roasting stick at them.

"Which goes to show that you can't always believe what you read, huh?" Chip asked.

Kali swallowed hard and looked down at the rope binding her. If just one of them could wriggle free than they could do something to distract the giant so the others could get out.

"Xander!" Maddie hissed.

"Xander, where are you going!" Chip hissed.

Kali frowned and tried to look around. Her back was mostly to the giant, and she could just vaguely make out what he was doing, but she couldn't see the exit at all. Where had Xander gone if the others were hissing for him to come back?

The giant roared and then the rope was moving, as if alive. Kali struggled to her feet along with the others and tripped over loose stones as she stumbled backwards, towards the blazing fire.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, hold your horses!" Xander shouted, running back into the cave. He held a giant pomegranate in his hands, and looked wildly from his friends and then up at the giant. "Hi, my name is Xander -"

Kali groaned. "We don't have time for plan Xander," she growled.

Xander ignored her. "You don't want to eat them," he said. "Think of all the cholesterol. Not when I've got a nice, big, fat, juicy, healthy piece of fruit right here."

The giant dropped the rope and took the pomegranate from Xander. Bit into the flesh, slicing through it with razor-sharp precision. "Mmm. Where did you get this?" he asked. "We haven't had fruit this good in years!"

"He talks?" Maddie asked, confused.

"Of course," Chip answered. "Oh, you're confusing giants with cyclopses and orges."

"The Orges in Shrek talked," said Kali.

Vida glanced sideways. "You're a movie buff, aren't you?" she asked.

"It's my little sister's favourite movie," Kali said, smiling.

"Hey, big guy!" Xander called, waving his arms. "There's so much more where that came from. Follow me." He ducked out of the cave again, and this time the giant followed, tugging the rope and the others along in his wake.

Outside in the fields, Xander held up a bucket of seeds and tossed them into the grass. He nodded at the giant and then held up his hand, waving it in a semi-circle in front of him while chanting, "Uthfus Bethud Arboris!" until several trees of fruit popped out of the ground.

"How's that for service?" Xander grinned.

The giant released the rope and team struggled free. "I'm sorry about all this," he apologised. "I've been starving for months. I'm a vegetarian."

"What?" Vida asked as the others laughed at their luck.

"Thanks, big fella!" Xander said, stumbling as Kali and Maddie hugged him. "We've got to find that ticket and get out of here," he added once they released him.

The others nodded.

"Wait, is this what you seek?" the giant asked, holding the train ticket out to them.

~X~

The train brakes squealed on the track as the Rangers returned to their dimension. They disembarked from the carriages and made their way over to where Daggeron was, he was morphed, but his body language told them that he was happy to see them.

"Welcome back," Daggeron said a smile in his voice. "Congratulations on finding the ticket." He snapped his fingers and the team looked down as their morphers appeared in their hands.

Kali smiled, feeling better already. She knew that she had her magic back in Shalifar, but what good could the power of darkness have done against a starving giant?

"Daggeron, I owe you an apology," said Xander, stepping up to the Knight. "You weren't being a bad teacher. I was being a bad student. I know that now."

"It only took us nearly being eaten by a giant for him to figure it out," Kali muttered. She gasped as Nick nudged her. "What, it's the truth?"

Xander threw her a playful glare and Kali winked at him as she and the others laughed.

"I knew you had the inner strength to overcome the obstacles in Shalifar," said Daggeron, placing a hand on Xander's shoulder. "That's why I sent you there."

Xander's Morpher chimed and he opened it, revealing a new spell code.

"Way to go, Xander," Vida said, grinning.

"You've earned it," said Daggeron.

With a roar, the monster that Daggeron had been fighting before the Rangers arrived, got back to his feet. He was a hairy thing with two long-curving horns sticking out of his head.

"What the hell is that?" Kali asked.

"That's a Behemoth," Daggeron answered.

"He doesn't look friendly," said Maddie.

"At least not to us," said Vida.

The Behemoth stomped his foot and rounded on the rangers. "I finish you all off!" he roared.

"Ranger up," Daggeron said.

Xander nodded. "You don't have to tell us twice, right guys?" he asked.

"Right!"

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!"

"I'll try my new spell code," said Xander, taking the lead. He snapped open his Morpher and punched in the new code.

The monster snorted and charged forward. "You're no match for me!" he roared.

"Okay, Rangers, let's show him what real strength is about!" said Xander, as the others marvelled at his mystic muscles. He grabbed four of them under his arms, hauling them up onto his shoulders and threw them into the air.

Unclipping her magi staff from her belt, Kali waited as the others floored the Behemoth with their punches and then run straight at Xander. "Hey, string bean! How about a lift?" she asked.

"Going up..." said Xander, holding out his hands and hoisting Kali into the air. She flipped over and pointed her wand at the Behemoth. The black dog glinted and a beam of black hit the ground at the Behemoth's feet. The explosion sent the monster rocketing into the air.

As the Behemoth fell back to earth, Xander pulled back a fist and slammed it into his chest. The Behemoth hit the floor with a crash and rolled to a stop on his stomach.

Kali laughed and turned to Xander as he reached her side. "I think I prefer you without the muscles," she said.

Xander laughed and poked her side as the spell wore off, and he returned to normal.

"That was the best!" said Vida, running over.

"It's not over yet," said Nick, watching as a dark seal appeared beneath the Behemoth and he grew larger than the city.

The rangers all backed up as the Behemoth raised his foot to stomp them. He was knocked off balance by a blast of bright energy and the team looked around to see Daggeron's train rumbling towards them.

"I'll handle this one, Rangers," Daggeron called from the cockpit. "Solar Streak Megazord!"

Kali laughed as the train transformed into a giant-fighting robot and faced off against the Behemoth.

"We should get out of the warpath," said Nick, taking Kali's hand and tugging her aside. The others nodded and followed the pair to a safe distance, where they could watch without fear of being crushed.

"That thing is so cool!" Chip grinned, bouncing up and down.

Maddie put her hand on his shoulder, but it did nothing to quell his excitement.

"I turn you into scrap metal!" the Behemoth shouted, blasting Daggeron with a beam of energy. He swung his hammer above his head and brought it down as the Solar Streak Megazord cleared the dust cloud his first attack had created.

"Steam Blaster!" Daggeron shouted.

A train whistle screeched as steam shot out of the head of the Megazord. Daggeron bent at the waist, blasting the hot steam at the Behemoth.

The creature wailed in agony.

Kali sucked in a breath. "Scolding steam is worse than water," she said.

"Remote train car, go!" Daggeron commanded, firing two smaller trains from the shins of his Megazord. They ran along golden tracks and wound themselves multiple times around the Behemoth, wrapping him up nicely.

"Me no likey!" the Behemoth said, struggling to break free.

"Furnace Blast!" said Daggeron. The train on his chest opened and a blast of burning hot flames exploded out. The beam hit the behemoth and he yelled out in vain as he was sucked inside. "Checkmate! That's all for today's lesson."

The Rangers cheered.
