To the Past

By Red Cheetah 93

Previously on "To The Past": Bowen, Catastros, and Fireheart exit the portal to the time of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The MMPR bring them back to the Command Center, where it takes several hours for Bowen to wake up. When he did wake up, he told them what could happen if they don't find Fireheart first.

Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers, Saban and whoever else made the seasons does. I only own the plot and my oc that appeared in Chapter 1.

Chapter 3- The Search

"Where are you going?" asked the Rangers. "I am heading out to find Fireheart. Where are my helmet and Mystic Lion staff?" asked Bowen. "They are over here Bowen," replied Alpha. Bowen headed over to the equipment where said items sat and picked them up. It was at that point Jason came up to him and asked, "Hey, why don't you let us come with you?"

"Look, I appreciate the help, but I need to do this on my own," replied Bowen, "One of the reasons why I must do this on my own is because I have a special bond to Fireheart, so I will be able to find him easily." Setting down his staff, he got on his helmet. "Come On Catastros!" He yelled as Catastros came runing up.

"Will you be riding Catastros to where Fireheart is?" asked Trini. "No, I will be using my Mystic Fire Bird zord," replied Bowen. "Huh, but what zord? When we found you, we didn't find a zord," everyone wondered. "That's because me and my teammates actually become our zords," Bowen told them, "Now I better get going."

"Good luck," everyone wished him. "Thanks," Bowen replied, "Code 3, Legend of the Sky, Mystic Fire Bird." And then the rangers, Zordon, and Alpha watched as he indeed turned himself into a zord. With that, he took to the air, with Catastros right behind him, turning to zord size. "Come on, we better watch this with the viewing globe," suggested Jason. They went over to the viewing globe to watch Bowen find Fireheart.

(In The Skies Near The Command Center)

The Mystic Fire Bird is flying towards where he feels Fireheart, tilting his wings ever so slightly to turn in the direction the bond is pulling him. Catastros is following along on the ground beneath him at a gallop. When Bowen felt they were near, he stopped, and switched back to ranger form, along with Catastros returning to normal size. "We are near. Hmm, but something is with him. Come on, Power Down," said Bowen, returning to civilian form (meaning what he wears when he is in the forest).

Walking through the trees, they came to a clearing, and in said clearing, they found Fireheart and a strange creature. The creature resembled a monkey covered in golden armor. "Yes, Rita will be pleased when I bring her back this dragon. It could help us conquer Earth," exclaimed the monkey (Goldar). Gasping, Bowen thought, 'Phew, I got here just in time. Wait, did that monkey say Rita? I thought Mom said that she was The Mystic Mother. I'll deal with that later, I got stop him from controlling Fireheart.'

"Stop right there," yelled Bowen. "Huh, who said that?" asked Goldar. "I did," answered Bowen. "Who are you? You are none of the rangers,"exclaimed Goldar. "Oh, I'm a ranger all right,and I am here to stop you from taking that dragon," yelled Bowen. "Oh yeah, and how are you going to do that?" challenged Goldar. "Like this," Bowen called back.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" Bowen called as he morphed, "Fearsome as Fire, Red Mystic Ranger!" And the battle began. It was half an hour into the battle that Goldar started to get the upper hand, when Bowen used his fire magic to push him back. "Time to take this up a notch. Legendary Source, Mystic Force!" Bowen yelled, as he powered up to Legend Warrior Mode, "Element of Fire, Red Legend Warrior!" The battle raged on and after a while, Bowen got the upper hand and sent Goldar packing back to Rita's palace on the moon. "Well, I'm glad that's over," exclaimed a tired Bowen.

Looking over to Fireheart, he said, "Come on! Let's get back." And with that he hopped on Fireheart's back and directed him to the Command Center.

(Back at the Command Center)

The rangers, Zordon, and Alpha had been watching as Bowen defended Fireheart from being controlled. They were impressed with his skills, especially Jason, who now respected the young man a little bit more. They turned around when the Command Center doors opened to let Bowen, Catastros, and Fireheart in. After they entered and the doors closed, Bowen powered down. "Hey guys," said a tired Bowen.

"Bowen, you're back," everyone said. "Yeah, well, I have nowhere else to stay while I am in this time," replied Bowen. "Don't worry, Bowen, we will help you find a place stay while you are here," Alpha told him. "Thanks Alpha," said Bowen, as he sat down and started talking to the others.

A/N: I remember from the Power Rangers Mystic Force episode: Mystic Fate part 1, Udonna said that The Mystic Mother was known as Rita in the dark times. And if you look at a side by side picture of The Mystic Mother and Rita Repulsa, thay look exactly alike, along with sounding the same when they speak.

Another thing I wanted to point out, was that in all of the Power Ranger episodes that Jason appeared in, he looked hard to impress, but with Bowen showing off his skills in battle, Jason became really impressed by Bowen.

Next time on "To The Past": Bowen tells the story of his team to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and we get our first look back to 2006 and see what the Mystic Force Rangers are doing. Chapter 4: The Story And Back To 2006.
