Chapter 8 The Past Revisited
Sinistar looks into her cauldron filled with a bubble green liquid. She holds the eye in her right hand and looks at it, the eye starts to flash and she wonders what is it trying to tell her. She looks into her cauldron again and see's an image appearing and disappearing every few seconds, finally the image appears again and stays. A familiar tingle surges through Sinistar' evil body as the image somehow tries to tell her something.
The image is of a beautiful woman, wearing a long pink and white sorceress cape and gown, the woman has blonde hair, and blue eyes and she looks like she could be a princess, but Sinistar knows the woman she see's in her cauldron could not of been a princess, since she's wearing a sorceress' cape and gown.
Sinistar-Why does this seem so familiar to me. Is it trying to tell me of another way to defeat those Power Rangers. I wonder.
The eye starts flashing again, and this time it produces a heavy yellow beam that completely covers Sinistar and as it dies down Sinistar transforms unwillingly into the woman she see's in her cauldron. She gasps, as the eye produces another heavy beam that takes her into a dreamy essence.
Myndor senses the power of the eye awakening again, he summons the team immediately, and soon they all assemble in his chamber.
Myndor-The eye has awakened again, but I don't know why, perhaps the wizards pool can tap into the energy and tell us what we need to know.
They all nod in agreement. Myndor then asks the Wizards Pool, it speaks and shows the same image Sinistar had seen in her cauldron. And with the power of the Wizard's Pool, Myndor and his team find themselves in an essence of Unbelievable universal sights, sounds and power. The Wizard's Pool then transforms the team into the Power Rangers.
Yellow Ranger-Where are we?
Myndor-I don't know.
Black Ranger-This is weird.
Pink Ranger-It feels so calm here.
Red Ranger-What a strange place.
Blue Ranger-I wonder who sent us here.
A very light transparent figure appears in front of everyone, it begins to speak immediately.
Jed-You have been brought here so you will get a better understanding of everything you're going through. The past shall help you see things more clearly.
They all pay close attention and nod. The being then disappears. And as soon as he does, an image of a very beautiful land appears. Myndor instantly recognizes it.
Myndor-I don't believe it! Cawdor!
Sinistar see's the image of the land as well.
So now we go back into the past.
Long time ago, in the land of Cawdor there lived a prince who was soon to be crowned king, the prince was very sad after the passing of his father, he didn't think he would be able to help the people of Cawdor with any problems, that is until he met the beautiful Sorceress, Kastra. Prince Caleb was immediately taken by Kastra's stunning immortal beauty, he assigned her to become his personal adviser and sorceress. Caleb was a strong and handsome man, he was 6'1 tall, had short dark hair, a muscular build, and a handsome smile.
The castle of Cawdor was magnificent, completely made of stone of course, and inside over 300 rooms. The castle was decorated with paintings, beautiful carpets, statues, and other very beautiful items. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner was always served in the glorious dining room with a table set with beautiful golden plates, knives, forks, spoons and drinking glasses. No other room in the castle could compare to the Prince' throne room, he sat on a golden crystallized throne, and walked on a very delicate red carpet. The Prince always wore his Soldier uniform just in case he had to go into battle, but sometimes he wore something more comfortable.
As Myndor see's all the image has to show, he exclaims on the beauty the land once had. The Rangers comment as well.
The Prince did love Kastra at one time, but when evil beings from the neither realm began attacking his kingdom and when Kastra's magic hasn't been all it should be, his love slowly dissipated. She told him that she had lost some of her teachings due to her being in love with him, and that nothing but him was on her mind. They both speak in the Prince' throne room as he speaks about the latest attack on his land again.
Prince Caleb-You have failed me again. This land is being attacked by evil beings that I have never seen before, and your magic is of no help to me.
Kastra-Forgive me, but I have tried my best. I don't know where those beings come from, and I have lost some of the magical teachings I did learn.
Prince Caleb-Then you are of no use to my throne anymore.
Kastra gasps.
Kastra-I thought the druids would have enough power to stop the evil demon, Cyzrak.
Prince Caleb-The druids, no, they tell me they must seek a greater power to defeat Cyzrak.
Kastra-Why don't they do this my prince?
Prince Caleb-I told them that your magic would defeat Cyzrak. But now I shall tell them to work as quickly as they can, for if they don't, my land will be conquered and destroyed.
Kastra-Perhaps I can create something that could contain the evil.
Prince Caleb-I don't have faith in your powers anymore.
Kastra-The way you are speaking to me leads me to believe you only loved my powers and not me.
Prince Caleb-Say what you will. My only concern is ridding my land of those evil creatures once and for all.
Kastra-I still care for you, I shall do my best to help.
Prince Caleb-Please leave.
Kastra bows, she then leaves his throne room. A druid then appears next to the Prince' throne and asks.
Jude-Prince Caleb, the evil forces are growing, shall we move onto plan A?
Prince Caleb speaks.
Prince Caleb-Yes, do that, Kastra's powers will be of no help to anyone anymore, just do what you can to subdue and destroy those evil beings.
Jude-As you command, we shall call upon the stars for help.
Prince Caleb-Do as you will.
Jude-Yes.
The druid disappears. He reappears within a stone room located outside of the castle and sitting next to the castle on the left side. In the stone room, druids, along with a young apprentice age 18. This apprentice was eager to help and serve the druids for one day he knew that he would learn the secrets of the universe and help preserve and protect the land. Jed calls forth his druid brothers to speak about the menace.
Very suddenly the entire land of Cawdor begins to rumble very violently. And within the center of the land, the ground begins to open slowly, heavy smoke and fiery flames appear from the opening, and soon steps out the most hideous of all creatures seen, Cyrak, leader of the demon armies lurking around within the earth's center, searching for places to subdue and conquer. This monster was very tall and ugly, he has long claws and very sharp teeth that can tear into anything, his eyes are yellow spotted dots of fear and the rest of him is even more terrible.
He summons the rest of his army, and they resurface, and soon the land of Cawdor once again becomes infested with the foul odor and presence of Cyrak's demonic army. Prince Caleb is alerted and he soon orders a counterattack, but his armies fail instantly.
Kastra watches the fierce battle from her room within the castle, and the druids begin their task, they summon the powers from the stars of the universe, they are granted power in the form of an amulet, and so they assume the amulet will have the necessary power needed to defeat the demonic forces.
Kastra starts reading her spell books till she finds something very interesting. She learns that she might be able to defeat the evil demons if she is able to use their own power against them, but how she wonders. She thinks and comes up with an idea. Kastra will use her powers to create a containing sphere, but she will use some power from the demons to help make it work and seal them in forever.
A few seconds later more monsters resurface on the earth and begin wreaking havoc all over the land of Cawdor. In the present time, the Power Rangers and Myndor watch as they are shown what took place many years ago. And from within her temple essence, Sinistar watches too, but as the form she is in now.
Back into the past, Kastra waits for the demons to leave the area from which they had arisen, she knows that the opening must hold some of their energy so she disappears from her room and reappears right next to the hot bubbling opening within the ground. As she does this, the monsters are found on the other side of the land fighting off the power of the amulet given to the druids by the stars.
Kastra starts to siphon the energy found within the opening in the ground, she fills up the crystal sphere and reads a spell that transforms the energy into a yellow eye flashing constantly. As she continues to look at the eye her body begins to feel a bit different, but the feeling goes away. She says to herself with a funny grimace.
Kastra-Weak am I? Ha! I have created the one thing that will capture the demons and seal them in for eternity!
An unseen energy begins to leave the eye and enter Kastra's body as she continues to hold it, she closes her eyes and starts feeling differently again. She comes back to her senses and leaves the area. The druids use the power of the amulet against all of the hideous creatures, it helps some, but not much. Soon, they see a blinding yellow light appear from the sky, as it hit's the ground it causes a band of green lightning bolts to arise from the ground and transform into Kastra.
The demons sense and recognize the energy flowing through Kastra's veins, they bow, even Cyrak for her body starts glowing green, her hair starts rising and her eyes start flashing.
Kastra points the eye towards the creatures and immediately the power begins to work, the swooping energy emerges and captures every last evil being and places them within the center of the eye. Kastra says in a heavy monotone voice.
Kastra-I have saved this land now, my powers have created the eye of cawdor! And with this I have captured the evil beings! My powers are growing, and my energy flow is changing! I shall grow stronger, very soon!
She disappears quickly in a heavy cloud of smoke.
Later on, the druids are approached by the Prince, he asks what happened and why has he not been alerted. They tell him what has happened and who saved their land.
Prince Caleb-What? Kastra saved my land? But how?
The main druid speaks as the others walk back into their stone home.
Jed-She created something she calls the eye of cawdor, she used it and captured them.
Prince Caleb-But what about the powers you were given?
Jed-The stars have foreseen our future and has told me that the powers they have given us will be more useful against our greatest enemy.
Prince Caleb-Who is it? Who is our greatest enemy?
Jed-They did not reveal the answer to that. But I feel we shall know, soon.
Kastra returns to her room with the eye, and there her body starts to age rapidly, she feels that the eye is empowering her with strong energy and so she will never destroy it.
A few days pass and then months, another battle has begun upon the land of Cawdor. This time a new villaness arises causing more trouble than ever before. The Prince is alerted and calls forth Kastra, but he gets no answer. So he calls forth his druids and they quickly respond and begin a counterattack against their new enemy. The druids use the power of the amulet against their enemy, it helps but not much. The new enemy reveals herself to her foes as who she was when she was said to have been weak and pathetic. The druids stand tall in front of the castle as they do everything in their power to try and protect it, they all gasp as they find out their new enemy is no one other than Kastra herself, but in a physically changed way, she no longer has her immortal beauty, for she has changed into an old hideous and very angry crone with awesome evil power. She uses her dark power to attack the druids and the castle again, they try to use the amulets power against her again but once again it doesn't do much.
Kastra zaps the druids with a strong dark powerful implosive sphere, they scream out in agony as the sphere crashes into them and causes a huge implosion. Prince Caleb watches through a window in his castle, he shakes his head worried some for he fears that all hope is lost if his druids cannot stop their new attacker.
The new Kastra laughs at her obviously defeated enemies as she steps forth and says.
Kastra-I want the Amulet of Power! The eye has given me an idea and I can harness the energy from the stars and rule the entire land!
The druids refuse of course and this causes Kastra to get even more angrier, she sends out more dark power that starts to rip through the druids bodies instantly, as the power disappears, the druids are found falling onto the ground in constant agony. Their apprentice wizard appears right in front of them as Kastra starts another attack.
She looks at the young man and says in a raspy voice.
Kastra-Give me the amulet and I will spare your masters!
The young man says in a serious tone.
Myndor-Never! You will never be able to harness the power of the amulet, the druids need more time, and when they are able to harness the magnificent energy you'll be destroyed!
Kastra laughs heavily.
Kastra-GET OUT OF MY WAY!
She sends out heavy amounts of yellow lightning, suddenly the young wizard becomes surrounded by it and begins to get struck badly, he is flung away from the druids.
Myndor-WHHOOOAAAAAA!
Kastra laughs and see's her used to be loving prince looking out of one of his castle windows. She smirks and says to the dying druids.
Kastra-I'll be back for you all, first I'd like to take care of some unfinished business! Ha!
Kastra's body turns into a cloud of darkness as she disappears. She reappears right in Prince Caleb's throne room. He looks and gasps as he see's a hideous old crone stepping out of the dark cloud.
Prince Caleb-What do you want here?
Kastra-Oh you don't recognize me? I'm hurt.
Prince Caleb-What?
Kastra-After you so solemnly hurt my feelings, I did do something nice for you, I created something that made me realize that I was destined for greater things!
Prince Caleb-Who are you?
Kastra-You don't remember me, that hurts as well as I said before! But anyways, its me, the sorceress you once loved, or said to have loved, but now I'm stronger than ever before! Three beings of thought have been within the eye, they hold the eye together and keep the demons imprisoned as well, I have harnessed the evil energy which has transformed my entire existence into what I am now! I will destroy this land, but not before I get the amulet of power.
Prince Caleb gasps.
Prince Caleb-How could you do this? How could you start a war against me?!
Kastra-It's simple, you never loved me, you only loved what I could do for you, well it has ended, and with that end I have realized what a sad man you really are.
Prince Caleb-You were beautiful once, you sacrificed everything to transform into the hideous hag you are now?
Kastra gets angry.
Kastra-SILENCE! I should cut out your tongue for those who would take such a statement as an insult! You know nothing, trying to please someone is not an easy thing to do, of course I never showed my true hurt feelings in front of you because you wouldn't of cared either way, but now I have the power of eternal darkness flowing within me, and its all thanks to you.
Prince Caleb-What do you mean, thanks to me?
Kastra-If I hadn't created the eye and harnessed the demon energy then I would have been weak forever! But no more! NOT EVER!
Prince Caleb walks away from Kastra, he walks slowly over to his throne where he keeps a statue of a semi large dragon and behind it, his sword. He feels he has to defend himself and possibly destroy Kastra to save his land.
Caleb turns around for just a second, he pulls out his sword from behind the statue and as soon as he turns around he comes face to face with Kastra, he gasps as he looks into her dead eyes. She continues to speak.
Kastra-You can't destroy me Caleb, oh no. I am far too powerful now. And I did love you, so I'll show you mercy, I won't destroy you, no, I'll just make you into something that will serve me as I have served you for all these years!
Prince Caleb-No, I'd rather die than serve you!
Kastra-Unfortunately for you, you don't have a choice in the matter.
Prince Caleb tries to attack Kastra with his sword, but a blast of power emerges from her eyes, it wraps around him and sends him flying into the dragon statue.
Prince Caleb-UGGHHH!
She laughs out loud as her powers start to actually bring the statue to life.
Kastra-Soon I shall have the power of the stars, the magnificent energy will belong to me!
Prince Caleb says in pain.
Prince Caleb-You're mad! You're Sinister!
Kastra gets an idea from Prince Caleb's insult. She laughs and says in a darkened tone as her power holds him in place.
Kastra-No, I'm Sinistar! Hahaha!
Kastra who has now given herself the name Sinistar increases her power upon the prince and the statue, and soon the live dragon turns into a green wave of power that begins to wrap itself around the Prince. Sinistar laughs as the Prince covered in a bright green cocoon falls onto the floor, she then yells out as the cocoon breaks open and reveals a hideous creature.
Sinistar-ARISE DRAGONLORD! HAHAHA!
The druids on the outside of the castle manage to stand up, they are accompanied by Myndor again after regaining his strength, they tell him that he must find suitable humans that will be able to harness the energy from the amulet for they don't have much time to do it. Myndor swears on his life that he will find suitable humans and defeat their enemy. The amulet starts glowing as Myndor holds it, it sends its energy into his body and starts turning him old, he looks at the druids and asks frantically.
Myndor-What happening to me?!
The leader speaks weakly.
Jed-You are being filled with the wisdom of the stars, you must do this for we have failed, so you take over and defeat the evil.
Myndor nods as he completely becomes a very old wizard. A blast from the castle appears and knocks down the drawbridge, the druids are killed instantly but Myndor manages to escape that fate. He see's his new enemy and a dragon flying out of the castle. Myndor hides behind a tree and looks at the glowing amulet, he closes his hand and then opens it but only to find the amulet has disappeared, or transformed, for all he see's now are five very beautiful star gems, Red, Yellow, Pink, Blue and Black.
Myndor tries for days to find suitable humans that could help in the fight against Sinistar, but everyone has turned him down because they don't want to fight Sinistar with fears of them dying by her hands.
Soon two more minions arise to aid Sinistar in her greedy mission. With the help of her powers, Sinistar has created a dark temple where she and her minions stay. She walks into her main room and walks over to a large cauldron filled with a green bubbly liquid, she looks into it and wonders who could have the amulet now since the druids have been destroyed.
In the present time, the eye of Cawdor's power begins to die down, Sinistar returns to her now normal looking self and realizes who she once was, but that doesn't change a thing, she still wants the amulet and to rule everything.
Meanwhile, the Wizard's Pool sends the Rangers and Myndor back to Stonehenge, they all return to their normal selves and realize the entire truth of why they have become Power Rangers. Myndor explains it all to them again, the simple truth, to stop Sinistar.
So the story of the beginning of this new war has been told, there are still many parts to be added to the present and the ending. Hopefully the Rangers will continue to stay strong and finally rid the world of Sinistar and her evil minions once and for all.
