Chapter 12: Magical Source

Volcran picked himself up off the rocky shore, groaning in pain.

"Those Rangers are going to pay! Just as soon as I get up..."

"Looking for us!"

The five teens leapt over him, making sure to kick him back down as they soared over him before landing a few feet away from him, swords and blasters drawn.

"You Power Brats have annoyed me for the last time! This ends here!"

"Couldn't agree more!" Jake cried, cracking his knuckles as Troy drew a new Ranger key.

"Lets finish him off old school!"

"Right!"

"Legendary Ranger Mode: Mystic Force! Magical Source, Mystic Force!"

Galywit Mysto Ranger!

In a brilliant flash, all five had transformed into the Mystic Rangers, each one posing as they called out:

"Strong as a tree, Green Mystic Ranger!"

"Ever changing as the wind, Pink Mystic Ranger"

"Fluid as the sea, Blue Mystic Ranger!"

"Fast as lightning, Yellow Mystic Ranger!"

"Forceful as fire, Red Mystic Ranger!"

"We call forth the magic! Power Rangers Mystic Force!"

Madison nodded in approval, pleased to see her teams' powers in use again after so much time. Volcran, however, was less than amused.

"Big deal! You're still no match for me!"

As if to prove his point, he produced a wave of fire, headed straight for them. But Jake intercepted his attack, creating a wall of thorns to shield him and his team. Troy was next, staff at the ready.

"Let's see how he likes the hot seat!"

Volcran matched Troy's wall of flames with his own, the two attacks battling for control. However, Noah was quick to take advantage of this distraction, and hit him with a cold wave of water, knocking him off his feet. While he tried to get back up, Gia ran up and shot bolts of lightning from her staff, frying him while Emma created strong gusts of wind to buffer him about. Just as he was getting back to his feet, Troy burned him with a large wave of fire, causing him untold levels of pain while the rangers returned to their normal state and prepared to finish him off.

"No, this can't be!"

"Final Mystic Strike!"

Inserting the Mystic Force Keys into their sabers, the five slashed downward, creating apparitions of the Ranger's Mystic Ttian forms which struck Volcran in a flurry of elemental strikes, dealing the finishing blow to the armada commander. With one mighty groan, the volcanic being fell and exploded, much to the teens delight.

"Mission Accomplished!"

Back on the mothership, Vekar flopped down into his throne, exasperated.

"Not another one! Can't these commanders do anything right?"

Shaking her head, Levira took out her maximizer and aimed the cannons at the planet.

"Don't screw this up, Volcran."

The Rangers watched as the fallen commander grew giant sized, ready for another round.

"We need Megazord Power now!"

Within seconds their Megazord was formed and ready for action. However, taking the commander down a second time was going to be harder than they thought. Volcran, despite his increased size, was surprisingly agile, dodging their slashes and blasts with surprising ease. And while the megazord was easy to maneuver, the giant Bruisers Volcran had summoned only served to make their lives harder. No sooner had they cut one footsoldier down to size did two more take its place. And while they were busy with them, Volcran was quick to get some sneak attack strikes in on them. Needless to say, they were outnumbered and outmatched. Maddison watched them with interest.

"Looks like they could use some more firepower. I think I can help with that..."

Pulling out her morpher, she began to enter a new spell code.

"May the power protect you, rangers."

Up in the cockpit of their megazord, the rangers were struggling to keep up. They barely had enough time to react, and by the time they had another attack was already coming their way.

"Ah man, this is bad."

"If we can't come up with a new strategy, our goose is cooked!"

Just then, they felt a strange sensation coming from their belts. Opening them, they pulled out the Mystic Force Ranger keys, glowing.

"Well, this is new."

"Do you think Maddison unlocked a new power for us?"

"Only one way to find out!"

Curious, the five inserted them into their consoles. Immediately, the sides of their Megazord flung open, destroying two Bruisers that tried to catch them off guard. From the exposed chest emerged The Mystic Dragon, roaring and breating fire as it appeared.

"Woah, cool!"

"Now this is what I call firepower!"

The Dragon flew out of the Megazord's chest, its fire breath scrapping the remaining foot soldiers before turning towards the main threat. Circling the commander, it created a binding magical circle, encasing the warrior and restricting him.

"What? I can't move!"

Looking up, he could only watch in horror as the megazord came in for the the finisher, swords crossed and ready for the kill.

"No! This can't be!"

But it was. With one mighty swing, the sabers cut right through him, creating an X as they hit him. Sparks flying out around him, Volcran struggled to stand.

"I'm sorry, my prince! I've failed you!"

With that, he fell backwards, exploding into nothing as the megazord posed.

"Mission accomplished!"

Maddison nodded in approval, impressed with their skill.

"Well done, rangers. Well done."
