Summary: A change of scenery is supposed to do Justin some good, but not when the Power won't leave him alone. Time changes people; war does it more quickly. Not even Justin's former teammates will be able to help what awaits.
Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers, Justin and the others that you recognize belong to whoever owns legal ownership of them now. It's just everyone that you don't recognize that are mine. Oh, on Jessica, she's a one-shot girl from Mighty Morphin' from the episode "Rocky Just Wants to Have Fun" and I couldn't remember her name, but she's a character that popped out among the children of Power Rangers.
References: None.
Notes: The "Magi" in "Magi Rangers" is pronounced "Mah-Guy". Just a note to differentiate from the new Super Sentai Series, Magiranger that's pronounced like "Mah-Gee". On a side note, they totally stole my idea. :P
Justin walked in, drawing all the ambient magic he could contain into his body.
The sight that greeted him was both breath-taking and awe-inspiring.
The entire room was covered in runes. Intricate runes in all different colors, radiating many different types of magic. The room itself was circular and dome-shaped, made of a metal that could contain immense amounts of spiritual energy. From what Justin's senses could tell among the shifting colors, the room had been siphoning the magical line's energy for quite some time. Maybe even a couple years.
He stared at the center. He noticed that on the ground where lines. His eyes traced them, the dark grooves, until the pattern formed in his mind. Star. Pentagon. The Balance Circle! His eyes snapped up and flashed toward midair. A disc remained suspended, a solid mass of gray. His friends, unmorphed and winged, hung from it on chains. Adriana over Wind, Jace over Water, Alex over Earth, Lina over Thunder, Cassy over Ice, Lan over Tsunami, Lisa over Storm, Amanda over Tornado, Kyle over Quake, Christina over Blizzard, and Jake over the Eruption and Fire shared spot.
"Ah, Balance Ranger. I see that you've finally arrived."
The voice that captured each of his friends called and Justin's back stiffened. His eyes turned immediately to the dark figure behind the circle. The edges of the figure were as hazy as in the memories and he couldn't focus too long on him before he got a headache.
"That's one strong illusion spell." He remarked, running his mind through all the spells he knew for a counter.
"Yes, but it's not needed anymore." The spell wavered before the figure came into clear view. The sight made Justin pause.
"Maligore?" And it was true. The visage the Dark Fire Avatar wore was of the fire beast, all molten lava. He was Divatox's husband-to-be.
"You know of me?" The bright red eyes stared at him and would have raised an eyebrow, if he had had them.
"I thought we killed you on Muiranthias." Justin replied. "Our Turbo Megazord shoved you into the sea after you fell victim to our final attack."
Maligore's eyes seemed to grow darker. "You are of them? Which one?"
The Balance Ranger didn't move. He stared at Maligore, cocking his head to the side. He suddenly took a basic sword stance, power coiling in his muscles. "I am Justin Stewart, former Blue Turbo Ranger and current Gray Balance Ranger. Dark Fire Avatar, Maligore, now is the time to fight."
"Then fight we must. But this form is clumsy, too much power and not enough speed." The Dark Fire Avatar raised his hands and formed a magic circle in front of him, ten orbs connecting in an array of lines encased by a perfect circle. "Giru Gil Pyra Alta Ymn!"
Justin winced as he forced himself to not step back. The words Maligore had just spoken were of a language the Power couldn't translate and came out completely garbled, stinging his ears.
The Dark Fire Avatar leapt through the circle, the rough, large body slimming down into a humanoid form, though the skin remained as volcanic rock. A featureless face stared at him, though there were eyebrows and blood red eyes. A sword suddenly appeared in the charging Avatar's hand and Justin was forced to parry.
That set off a chain of events that led to them flashing around the room in an effort to kill each other.
The Balance Ranger blocked a strong strike and the Sword of Light flashed as Justin poured his magic into it. "Aqua!" A tornado of water surrounded the blade, tinting it with the color of Jace's Ranger suit. "Blue!" The strength of the water grew, adding into the blue of what Lan's Ranger suit should have been. He slashed, but a sudden heat aura dissipated the spell. Justin drew back, warily watching the Dark Fire Avatar.
"You do not have the strength to defeat me." Maligore declared.
Justin shook his head, readying another stance. "Oh?"
He was answered when Maligore simply phased out of existence. A flash of magic appeared behind him, but before he could move, Maligore had simply slashed his back.
It hurt.
A groan of pain forced its way out of his mouth as his reinforced bones held back the power of that one attack.
"Shit." The curse felt from his lips as he leapt forward. The attack, if the Gray Balance Power wasn't so powerful, would have ripped his spine in half. He gave a desperate slash at where Maligore was, but the Fire Avatar once again blinked out of existence.
He reappeared at his side, scoring another painful hit on him. Justin cursed as the wound started bleeding, but released a blast of light energy from his sword. When Maligore once again dodged, the blast stayed in the area as an orb.
The Dark Fire Avatar appeared, but was met with lances of energy the orb of light released.
Justin was extremely worried when the spell didn't even do a bit of damage.
"Cheap tricks won't beat me. You're running out of time." Maligore gestured with his head toward the magic circle.
Unwillingly, Justin's eyes followed the movement. They widened at what they found.
"The summoning!" He let out a gasp. The energy was turning into a funnel, solid in form. Maligore was already there, a smirk apparent.
"No, not a summoning. Not in the sense you're speaking of." Maligore snapped his fingers and the Rangers' parents appeared around Jake. "That will do for Fire." The funnel grew sharper, clearer, and gained a sickly black color. It took all of Justin's will power to not flinch away. The last Avatar's next words chilled him to the bone. "I'm not summoning an apocalyptic being. I'm becoming one." And with that, the black figure stepped into the funnel.
Instantly Justin was blinded by a flash of light. The magic in the room swelled as Maligore absorbed the magic of the line, stored for years, as well as the inherent magic in the Elementalist circle fueled by sacrifices. It was too much power for him to defeat.
The energy drained from his body as Justin realized something. I can't stop this. I can't. He fell to his knees, feeling his will disappear. Everyone will die. I can't stop this. I guess I am the useless, weak kid that TJ and the others spoke of when they first came. Tears appeared in his eyes as he started crying.
Don't you dare give up, Justin Stewart. His head snapped up.
"Huh?" He spoke softly.
We're talking to you mister! Around him the twelve elemental spirits appeared. You promised that you would try! We're not seeing trying! Think! All magic has opposites: just find this one!
Justin's Ranger instincts took control at that point. Summoning. To summon something. To bring something forth. Opposite. Sending something away? Expel! The metaphorical light bulb lit up above his head. Expel magic! This ritual is delicate enough... Justin looked up. Not much time!
The Gray Ranger poured his magic into the Sword of Light, as much of it as he could afford without dipping into his life force. With a single slash that, incidentally, coincided with the peak of the draining, Justin cut the chains holding Adriana and leapt away.
The first thing that occurred was Maligore's cry of pain.
The second thing was the immediate awakening of the Rangers, but not the parents.
The third thing that happened was a red orb appearing in his hands as a necklace of volcanic rock encased by a ruby appeared around his neck.
The fourth was the immediate upheaval of all the magic.
"Shit." Justin cursed for the umpteenth time today. "Spirits, hear my plea! Heal my friends of all their injuries, revive them from their states!" The desperate spell drained him of nearly all his magic, but it got his friends up and running. A wave of healing energy passed through the area, stronger than any spell cast before.
"What?" Adriana sat up, confused, as Justin demorphed and returned all the morphers to whom they belonged. "Justin?"
"No time. The Dark Fire Avatar is dead, but the magic he left behind is threatening to summon something powerful enough to destroy Earth and maybe even beyond."
That caught everyone's attention.
"What do we do?" Lan voiced this question, his voice rough.
"It's solid." Alex was the first to observe this as he pointed to the funnel of magic that remained. "If we strike it, it'll disrupt the ritual."
"But at what cost?" Everyone quieted as Jace spoke.
Justin snapped his fingers and everyone jumped as the parents disappeared. "They're safe from the blast radius; they're in the Control Base. We're Rangers; we know what we should do."
Grim smiles overcame the twelve fourteen-year-olds as they readied themselves.
"Sword of Light, I am the Orange Fire Light Elementalist Ranger of Mind." Justin called clearly.
"Sword of Light, I am the Red Eruption Light Elementalist Ranger of Body." Jake followed.
"Sword of Light, I am the Aqua Water Light Elementalist Ranger of Spirit." Jace added.
"Sword of Light, I am the Blue Tsunami Light Elementalist Ranger of Mind." Lan spoke.
"Sword of Light, I am the Silver Wind Light Elementalist Ranger of Mind." Adriana held her head up high.
"Sword of Light, I am the Pink Tornado Light Elementalist Ranger of Spirit." Amanda didn't falter.
"Sword of Light, I am the Gold Thunder Light Elementalist Ranger of Body." Lina's voice held nothing but confidence.
"Sword of Light, I am the Yellow Storm Light Elementalist Ranger of Mind." Lisa had no doubts.
"Sword of Light, I am the Brown Earth Light Elementalist Ranger of Body." Alex was sure of his choice.
"Sword of Light, I am the Green Quake Light Elementalist Ranger of Spirit." Kyle knew he would follow his friends anywhere.
"Sword of Light, I am the Purple Ice Light Elementalist Ranger of Spirit." Cassy never looked back.
"Sword of Light, I am the Indigo Blizzard Light Elementalist Ranger of Body." Christina finished.
"We call upon you to quell this evil magic and save our world!" The twelve spoke in unison, copies of the Sword of Light appearing in each of their hands. One by one, they slashed through the funnel, until all twelve had completed the motion.
Before any of them could move, and unknown energy crushed them until each one blacked out from the force.
Justin blinked sleepily. His body was lethargic, as if he had come out from a deep sleep. He raised his head and that was when he finally noticed that someone was running their hand through his hair. "Wuh?"
Adriana smiled back at him. "Hey Justin."
"Where?" But the energy it took to speak left him in the just-awoken daze and he pleaded with his eyes.
"Don't know, really. It's peaceful though." And it was. There was giggling, laughing, and splashing. Not much else though.
Justin sat up, carefully, not wanting to lose the numbness just yet. His mind came upon a small lake. Naked Jace and Alex were splashing around with shirtless Lan and Kyle. He barely batted an eyelash at them. They'd all been in enough tight situations where they'd seen that of each other. Cassy, Christina, Lina, and Amanda were running around just enjoying themselves. Lisa was carefully watching over a still asleep Jake. And Fred, Nico, and Jessica were off to the side, conversing.
"N'co?" Justin slurred, still half-asleep.
"Justin!" The three Magi Rangers yelped in unison. They immediately rushed over to him.
"What are you guys doing here?" Justin was immediately very proud of himself. He managed to say all that without running his words together!
"We just barely managed to kill the dragon when some energy thing made us black out. When we awoke, we were here." explained Fred.
"Oh." Thinking hurt his head too much, Justin decided and leaned back a bit, enjoying Adriana's ministrations.
"Jake!" At Lisa's joyous shout, all the former Dark Elementalists seemed to warp over to their comrade as the Eruption Ranger awoke.
"Wuh?" Jake's voice was deeper than Justin's, but still carried the same tone of sleepiness. "Where?"
Justin could see Jace, Cassy, and Nico stifling giggles. Hey, they didn't sound that alike, did they?
"We don't know. It's just calm and peaceful." replied Lisa.
"I think..." All eyes riveted onto the Water Ranger as he adopted a thinking pose. He stepped out of the lake as he did so, which caused everyone but the Light Rangers, who were used to it, and Lan, who was too busy staring and drooling, to avert their eyes and blush. "I think that we're in some type of comatose place." Jace gave a small smile of wariness. "I don't know, really, but we're supposed to get some rest, I think. I think we just won the war." The Aqua Water Ranger held up a hand and summoned an orb to him. "Dark Water Avatar."
"Wind." Adriana held up a similar one.
"Earth." Alex showed another one.
Lina opened her hands. "Thunder."
"Ice." Cassy revealed hers.
All eyes riveted to Justin. He held up a red orb triumphantly. "Fire!"
"The six Avatars!" Despite himself, there was awe in Alex's voice and his feet twitched, as if repressing the urge to jump for joy. "We did it!"
"They're gone!" Awe stilled everyone's voices until Lina repeated what Jace had said before.
"The war's over!"
Loud whoops and cheers echoed throughout the field of soft grass where fifteen teens were. Once that had tired them out, Jace gave a small yawn.
"If you don't mind, guys, I'm think I'm going to take a small nap." He donned his clothes, despite being wet, and curled up on the soft grass to sleep.
"Idiot, you're going to catch a cold." Alex cuffed him on the head lightly before dressing himself also and curling up beside his brother, who instinctive snuggled against him. The two had developed an almost codependence over the year, having been put in many situations when time loops and out of time situations were involved. The chances of them separating were close to nil. Cassy yawned as well, laying next to Alex and falling asleep quickly. The two were cousins and that meant that Jace was like a step-cousin, but the two weren't related by blood and loved each other all the same. Lina took her place beside her honorary little sister and fell into dreamland.
Lan and Kyle headed over to Jake, their leader, and lay down next to him, cocooning him between them. Amanda and Christina mutely followed, curling up at his legs. Jake glanced up at Lisa, who smiled back at him before dropping her torso and sleeping. The Eruption Ranger's eyes caught Justin's. He smiled and the former Dark Elementalist smiled back before dropping his head to sleep.
Justin looked up at Adriana. She smiled at him as well, taking the silent command as she leaned back, closing her eyes.
"Sleep, Justin." Nico's voice got his attention as he eyes flicked over to the Magi Rangers.
"We're fine. You deserve the rest." agreed Jessica.
"We didn't just win a war; you do. Take this time to dream." Fred looked at him in a way that made a grin flitter onto his face. "You deserve it. We'll watch over as you sleep, don't worry."
And Justin took the sage advice, shutting his eyes to the light and immersing himself inside the comfort of sleep.
...wake up...
Justin blinked as an unknown voice roused him. What was that? He tried to grasp the memory, but like water, it slipped through his fingertips as if it were a fleeting dream.
There was something on his mouth that felt funny. His hair felt greasy and the sense of peace he had felt in that field wasn't there. His body ached from exhaustion and bruises. It felt... real, somehow.
"Where?" Justin was surprised at how rough his voice was. It hurt his throat to use it. "Where am I?"
"Justin!" Someone yelped and a blurry face appeared over him.
"Adriana? Jace? Alex? Lina? Cassy?" The Fire Ranger shot the names out as rapidly as they came, looking for the safety of his friends first. "Jake? Lina? Lan? Kyle? Amanda? Christina? Nico? Jessica? Fred?"
Justin delved into his fleeting magic reserves, unsurprised that he was so weak after the new moon and the battles. What magic he had, he moved into his limbs. As an afterthought, he invisibly pulled chi too, to give him energy.
"Where are they?" The magic gave him clarity and freedom of movement. He sat up, pulling the oxygen mask aside. He left the heart monitor and IV needle in though, as not to alert the medical officials. He could feel the cool gem of his morpher on his wrist and wasn't afraid to look for his friends. Sparks of flame appeared, unnoticed, in the clenched hand.
A Hispanic man looked back. "Justin?"
"Rocky?" The voice filtered through his mind and he let the fire magic flow away, funneling it into his body. "Rocky?"
"You're awake!" Justin was suddenly embraced by the former Ranger. He hesitantly put his arms around the other man as Rocky sobbed. "Oh god, you're awake!"
"How long was I out?" His body felt tired still and his magic was almost gone, so it couldn't have been too long.
"Five days." The man whispered.
"What?" Shock permeated through his body. Five days? Where were his friends? Reluctantly pulling out of Rocky's arms, Justin reached over and turned off the heart monitor, pulling the IV needle out in the process. He noticed he was in a hospital gown, but didn't care as he stepped onto the cold floor.
"Where are you going? You're supposed to stay." Rocky tried bringing him back into the bed, but the smaller male dodged the arms, walking out into the hallway.
"I'm going to look for my friends." Justin knew it was only a pretense.
-GUYS!- He called using the mental link.
-Justin!- Five mind shouted.
In less than a second, fourteen teenagers came barreling down the fall, swarming him in an instant. Justin never felt more at peace as when he was surrounded with fourteen of his Ranger friends. For some reason, he had formed an instant bond with the former Dark Elementalists as well as the three Magi Rangers.
"Justin?" Rocky's voice sounded rather pitiful to Justin's ears as he turned to see his honorary big brother - who pretty much abandoned him after the second generation of Turbo Rangers had come - staring at him confused.
"Rocky?" Jessica was the first to exclaim, recognizing her former mentor. The rest of Justin's team had their eyes light up in recognition, recalling Justin's tale of how he got his first powers.
I'm glad your awake. Adriana's fleeting thought brought a small smile onto Justin's face.
Any further reply to Rocky was held off as doctors and nurses piled into the room, checking up on Justin.
As much as Justin wished to, he refused to see Rocky or any of the other former Rangers after he was discharged. A quick shot with the memory beam channeling spare magic in the air wiped the explosion from everyone but the Rangers' and parents' minds. Instead, he spent the time explaining what was going on to his dad.
He was a little surprised at first, but Justin was happy to realize that he didn't have a stupid father as the man quickly pulled all the pieces together.
"I'm proud of you, Justin." And the Fire Ranger beamed.
After that was over, the fifteen teenage Rangers assembled in the Control Base - six for the first time in a few days and nine for the first time ever.
Once Kamion had overcome his shock at a group of children with Magi Sparkles, he congratulated them on a job well done.
"The war is over, my Rangers." He spoke, a smile on his lips. "Now is the time to rest and enjoy the fruits of your labor."
And they would have, if there hadn't been so many things to do in the aftermath.
Justin and Adriana researched the profiles of the former Elementalist Rangers. Alex, Lina, Jace, and Cassy were working on special projects as they did so. Jake and his group had opted out, guilt eating away at them and unable to face the parents of the people they had killed. The Magi Rangers had also not joined, citing the fact that they didn't know the Rangers and thus would demean the project. Justin merely nodded and went on.
Two days later, six families gathers in a secluded area of Boston Common, confused as to what they were doing there.
All jumped as six colored flashes of light appeared, revealing the Rangers.
"What?" One woman got out, but the Fire Rangers raised his hand and stopped all questions.
"I have gathered you all here today for a special reason. I know each of you have a missing child." Justin's voice was soon drowned out by those of the worried parents.
"You have news on Brady?"
"Lance?"
"What happened to Hikari?"
"And Jade?"
"Orion?"
"Melissa?"
And here came the hart part. Justin sighed and stared into the hopeful fires of the parents, feeling an ache come over him.
Adriana laid a comforting hand on his shoulder as she stepped forward in his stead.
"Your children were the original Elementalist Rangers. They died in action."
The pleas fell silent.
"I know this is a shock. They were our mentors, our teammates, our friends and will be missed forever more. I... We. We thought you would rather have a definitive closure than many decades of painful hope of a warm trail on six cold cases that would never be solved."
They didn't speak, not one word. Alex took this as his cue to step forward.
"I know this doesn't seem like much, but please accept this as our tribute to them." The Earth Ranger took a deep breath.
"Brady Jillian, Orange Fire Ranger." He produced a ruby statue of the Elementalist Ranger. "Lance Drahin, Aqua Water Ranger. Hikari Takahashi, Brown Earth Ranger. Orion Ara, Gold Thunder Ranger. Jade Erin, Purple Ice Ranger. Melissa Gran, Silver Wind Ranger." At each once, he gave another statue to the respective family.
"We're..." Jace hesitated, looking torn. "I guess... We couldn't help them. And we're sorry." He looked defeated as his shoulders slumped, unable to express himself.
"Please, leave us." One family managed to croak.
Six teleport streams answered.
A week later, after six simultaneous burials, six families moved away without looking back.
During that time, treaties were made with other Ranger planets as the Elementalist Rangers called for help dealing with the Dark Avatar Powers.
Of the assembled, only two had ever come to Earth before.
Delphine, White Aquitarian Ranger, was representative of her planet. Trey, a Gold Ranger, was from Triforia. Chiren was represented by their Black Ranger, Cray. Alexia had their female Red Ranger, Hitani. An icy planet, Kooriton, had answered with their Blue Ranger, Stella. The final planet, Shoni, replied with Orin, a Yellow Ranger.
"If you can understand that, the Earth is not really as polar toward an element as it should be to deal with the Dark Avatar Powers." Justin concluded, as the Ranger from Earth in the meeting. "We're a Balance planet, if anything. That's why I ask of each of you. Will you watch over the Powers and drain them of their energy over the years?"
Cray was the first to respond. "I trust you - I have trusted ever since you got us out of that time loop. I accept."
Stella also readily replied. "Cassy, your Ice Ranger, has become a large and respected figure in our society. I wouldn't dream of refusing."
Trey, the Triforian prince, spoke next after a second of hesitation. "I had good dealing with the Earth Rangers before. I suppose... I owe my life to them. I will do it."
"If no harm comes to my planet, I see no reason to deny the request." The calm Delphine announced. "The people of my planet owe their lives to an Earth Ranger. We will help in any way we can."
Hitani, however, had apprehension on her face. "You defeated the Dark Avatars? I don't know..."
Her response, however, had nothing on Orin's. "I find it hard to believe that mere children defeated the Dark Avatars." The female Shonian scoffed.
Justin's back stiffened, his eyes darkening. "Do not belittle our fight. You who have not met war in the last two centuries cannot dare to judge our battle. War speeds maturation."
Orin replied scathingly. "Oh? I say this backwater planet cannot possibly produce even one being apt in the magics and battle skills to defeat the Dark Avatars, let alone six."
"Would you like to see?" demanded Justin dangerously, literal fire appearing in his eyes. "Would you like to see what has been done? What we were up against? What pain we went through? I have a form of retrocognition; my postcognition disappeared after my last battle, but I still retain the ability to show past events to others." He held out his hands, his eyes half-dark and half-blazing.
Orin placed his hands on those Justin held out. In but a moment, most of the feeling from the past year transferred over to Orin. The Ranger quickly pulled her hands back, eyes wide.
"I will accept." She murmured, seemingly more enlightened. "I see now."
Before Justin could turn, Hitani accepted without hesitation.
"Good." The Fire Ranger gave a small smile. Carefully using telekinesis, he lifted each of the boxes containing the orbs, sealed with many layers of protections and marked with their respective elements. "We would carry them with us, but are many holes in that plan ranging from simple human faults to the fact that we had to dive into our life force several times and probably won't survive the complete transfer unless we funnel several years of magic into our remaining life force. Our only option was this. Wind goes to Kooriton. Earth to Triforia. Thunder to Chiren. Water to Shoni. Fire to Aquitar. Ice to Alexia." He looked up at the six assembled Rangers. "Please, keep them safe. If worse comes to worse, we'll nuke them in space, but the possible repercussions are far worse than what this might bring. We lost a team of Rangers to them. Six of us were enslaved for two long years of fighting and death. And six including myself suffered greatly in battle." Justin sighed as he eyes turned pleading. "Please."
Six Rangers nodded before teleporting out.
Justin smiled at his friends.
"We're off to California!" Adriana grinned. "I'm taking blading lessons from my dad's childhood friend and his son!"
"Surfing!" Jace pumped a fist into the air. "My mom's meeting with an old friend also and we and her daughter are going to the beach to catch some waves! Booyah!"
"Motocross!" Alex crowed triumphantly. "I'll finally get to put to use all those lessons at Chiren to the MAX! One of my dad's friends is going to help me!"
Lina smiled easily, no hint of jealousy or ill will in her face. "Well, we'll clean up."
Cassy nodded, true happiness radiating from her. "Have fun!"
"Wish the others were coming." Jace deflated for a moment.
Justin self-consciously touched the red morpher on his right wrist. Jake and the others had given up the morphers to their counterparts afterward, citing reasons of fear, guilt, and a feeling of destiny elsewhere. Justin couldn't find fault.
"We can finally rest, guys." Justin smiled. "The war's over."
"The war's over." The rest echoed.
As one, they placed their hands in the middle of a circle, doing something those before them had done also. As one, they lifted their hands into the air.
"POWER RANGERS!"
The End
NOT!
Next Time on Power Rangers Elementalist: Through the Eyes of the Young
Countdown to Destruction begins, but this time, there are active Rangers with powerful powers on the planet. But Dark Specter isn't ignorant of this. What happens when both sides step up the pace and bring the battle to a new level?
