The young mystic stood taking in the image in the crystal ball in front of her. Inside vibrant colors shifted between glowing bright and nearly going out. It began simply with black, white, red, blue, and yellow swirling and twirling together. As the colors weaved themselves together others took form inside the orb. When she first arrived she didn't know what this orb was but now she knew. Her teachers had a connection to the Morphing Grid it finally made sense. Gently she touched the orb only to jump back as if it had shocked her.

"Lady Udonna something isn't right about this," Lily whispered

A burning sensation traveled up her arm a black flame slithered up her limb. Gasping her eyes widened as the fire flickered like a candle flame on her forearm. Chilly air blew through Root Core as Undoona appeared beside her wand in hand. With a nervous grimace, she used frost magic to put of the vile flame. As the shadowy fire puffed out a Celtic wolf's head was burned into her arm. The wolf head seemed to glow gold against her skin like a mystic sigal.

"Leanbow," Udonna whispered at the sight of the brand

"Is something wrong Lady Udonna?" Lily inquired touching the brand

The head mystic smiled sadly shaking her head. The sight of this brand could only mean one thing, There was some hope for Leanbow. The man she loved was still there in the form of the vile knight Korrag. The elder sorceress moved her away from the flickering orb casting a barrier spell on it. Udonna frowned at the sight of the sphere's flickering colors. This was a bad sign she could feel something foul lurking just beyond their sight. If only she knew what the evil was then maybe she could think of an answer.

"I fear something far worse than anything know to ranger kind is coming," Undonna whispered

"Is that why you asked me here Lady Udonna?" Lily asked

"You could say that yes," Udonna said smiling

Raising a hand a rolled-up map soared through the air into her hand. The symbol for the Mystic Force rangers glowed brightly on the map's seal as she held it. Lily watched as her elder mystic turned to her holding out the curious piece of paper. Cautiously Lily took the map from her mentor's face twisted in confusion. The motherly witch laughed placing a hand on her head giving it a gentle pat. As her pupil opened her mouth to question her Undonna vanished in a flurry of snow. As the last flick of snow blew away the seal burned away the map unrolling in her hands. The map was of the Mystic Forest with a strange dark horse standing among the trees.

"Catastros?" She whispered watching the map


"That wasn't so bad."

"See I told you I would be easy didn't you believe me?"

"No talking sword I don't."

Alice sat inside the cockpit of the Falconzord watching the skyline. The avian zord sat roosting on the shoulder of her Dragonzord ready to take off. She really had taken on her father's legacy with these zords it was almost overwhelming. He was a ranger of legend and here she had been prancing around in his classic Dragon Ranger form. She couldn't help but wonder if she had shamed the ranger form with her ranger activity. A quiet laugh caught her off guard knocking her from her thoughts. Her eyes moved to the console to Find Saba laughing at her.

"Did you really think she's ashamed of you?" He asked between laughs

"I've done nothing but mess up since I got here." She muttered sadness in her voice

"Bullshit! Kid Billy told him everything, you've been working your butt and jumping into every fight you encounter. You are your father's daughter after all he expects nothing less from you." Saba announced

She couldn't help but smile at his words as she pressed the Dragon Dagger to her lips. With a subtle roar, the mechanical roared to life starting to walk to the hanger. Entering the bay she flew from her perch to a platform above the other zord. As the might bird touched down she slid down its back landing in a crouch. With a green flash, she let her morph fade Saba still on her hip like he belonged there. Stopping at the door she smiled at her zords blowing them a kiss.

"See you, tomorrow boys." She yelled with a smile

"Should I be jealous?"

Stepping from the hanger door she found Matt standing against the wall smiling. The Quantum Ranger stood with his arms crossed absentmindedly spinning his Quantum Defender. At the sight of him, the green ranger rushed over to him eyes glowing with joy. He shoved himself from the wall breaking the distance between them. Smiling she hugged him in a tight embrace resting her head on his chest.

"I don't see why." She announced smiling playfully


Stepping onto the training platform Keith spun his blade as he prepared to fight. Across the platform stood the original red samurai ranger Jayden Shiba spin sword in hand. The former red ranger had taken to the role of mentor for the Shiba house in recent years. In his time as a mentor and ranger, he had learned a lot about the ways of the blade. This is only part of the reason Keith had come to the Shiba house.

"You're not just here to learn are you?" Jayden asked hand behind his back

"If you know why I'm here then give it to me." Keith requested pointing his sword at Jayden

Jayden smirked tossing the Black Box into the air dashing toward him as it fell. As their blades clashed Jayden shoved him back catching the Black Box on the tip of his blade. With a flick of the sword, the box was in the air again. Before the box could hit the ground Keith moved only to be knocked to the ground. Flipping Keith charged his uncle's weapon in a death grip. They bounced apart pulling out their Sumaraizers swiftly morphing into their ranger forms. Taking a starting battle stance pulling a Power Disk from his belt sliding it onto his blade. The disk was bright red with white designs on the side the image of a TYrannosaurus on the front.

"Interest Power Disk can't say I've seen dinosaur disks before," Jayden remarked pulling out his lion disk

"I made it myself," Keith replied spinning the disk

Bright red flames erupted from his blade as it transformed into a new form. It now looked like the original power sword with a glowing gold blade and detail on the blackguard. The blade retained the spin sword handle the Tyranno disk resting just above the grip. He spun the disk once more and the blade was cloaked in a golden flame. Their flame-coated blades clashed leading to another struggle between.

"Tell me, you're not just some random samurai are you kid?" Jayden grunted out

"Not by a long shot," Keith remarked

Then Jayden saw a look of determination and excitement while fighting. He had a look not unlike that when he fought in his youth. Slowly the mental puzzle fell into place in his mind. Once everything clicked together he jumped back putting away his spin sword letting his morph fade. The young ranger did the same waiting in anticipation. Smiling Jayden approached his nephew holding out the Black Box for him to take.

"This is what you wanted right?" Jayden asked

"Yeah, mind teaching me how to use it?" Keith questioned with a small smile


His fingers strummed the guitar in his hands the notes drifting emptiness of the hanger. He sat on the back of his Dragozord eyes closed in deep thought. The movement of his fingers had become after this point drifting from one song to the next. This was his way of soothing his mind after a long battle. He had nearly died when the White Dino Ranger clone attacked him. The clone could easily block his attacks and send them back twice as hard. If not for the storm ninja Gale he would be dead right now. His eyes snapped open at a sound behind him his fingers stopping mid strum.

"So you're okay?" the ninja inquired

"More or less," Anton grunted out touching his stomach

Quietly she sat beside him pulling a pack from her back. He watched as she started to pull out boxes and a pair of water bottles from the pack. A wonderful smell came from the boxes as the rest in front of them. Turning to her he was met with a smug smile as she held out a pair of chopsticks. Taking them he cracked open his box finding Sushi inside. Beside him, Gale nibbled on a piece of sushi from her own box.

"So any idea what that Doppledope's deal was?" she asked mid-bite

"If I had to guess I'd say he's just after me because I'm the White Dino Ranger." He whispered

"I've heard worse reasons for villainy," Gale replied with a sad sigh
