=UNIVERSE=
At the evil headquarters, Azalea is slowly coming around as she finds herself in a strange cell. She is thinking back to when she gotten captured by the two female beings and the Staknights that they had with them.
She is in her civilian form as she notices her morphor is on her. "It is about time that you came around ranger. Or should I say mentor, mother, or better yet the mainlander version of Kit." Salem said to Azalea as she is in front of the cell.
Azalea frowns as she gives Salem a look. She uses her aura check as she senses inner darkness in her. "How did you know about that Raine? That information is on the need to know last time I checked you are not one of them." Azalea said to Salem as she doesn't realize that something is on her.
Salem frowns as she glares at Azalea "You are just as bad as Macy. The name is Salem, and I would suggest that you start calling me that. Though allow me to give you this small mercy. You use your powers, you get a ugly surprise." Salem said to Azalea with a devious expression on her face.
Azalea frowns as she is wondering what Salem means "What?" Azalea said to Salem as she realizes that things are set up on her with strange orbs.
As Azalea tried to use her powers the orbs around her glow as if sensing her trying to use them. The energy in the orbs goes right into her hurting Azalea forcing her to stop.
Salem smirks her eyes set in a glare "I warned you. If you try and use any of your powers you'll feel a real nasty sting. You can also forget about that griffin as this cell was made to counter such a tricky thing." She told her.
Azalea frowned gritting her teeth in pain learning this "Why did they bring me here anyways?" She asked as Salem rolled her eyes not giving anything away.
"Raine don't you know how much you have hurt Macy?" Azalea asked Salem.
Salem lets out a laugh at this "You are so blind Miss Mentor. Macy has hurt me as well, and she doesn't care. Your only concern is caring for her, Velvet, Theo, and Maggie. Doesn't even matter if it is in the classroom or not." Salem says snarling at her as if tempting Azalea to try and use one of her powers.
"If you want me to use my power again your going to have to do a lot better than that. I don't need an aura check to see your obvious emotions." She says as Salem let's out a small tsk hoping to have got her to try.
Salem prepared to say something again when Melodalix walks in towards her "Mother wants us in the main room to go over over the plan for tonight little sister." She says and Salem nods going with her older sister.
Azalea frowns as she has a bad feeling that things are getting bad to worse especially for her. "If the Sunstone Griffin can't rise up to help me to escape, then maybe I could try to go into spirit form to warn the Rangers." Azalea thought to herself as she tries to go into spirit form.
From the moment she tries it, she gets effected again as she cringes in pain "They have really covered their bases, but there are things that they haven't covered about." Azalea said to herself as she is lays down in the strange cell.
In the main room, the spirit of Stabella notice Salem and the others walking in the room. "There is no doubt that the rangers from the four active teams know that we have the Purple Treasure Warrior Ranger here." She began as she looked at them each.
"As for tonight, everything is go for the ritual to bring the Musicolan Black Moon to this dimension. Plus we can not take any chances of the rangers trying to rescue her. If they try anything, we must make sure they fail." The spirit of Stabella said to the daughters and descendant.
Xolimercia looks at the spirit as she is holding the book that contains the spell "Mother we might have a problem. There is a counter spell that will stop the Musicolan Black Moon spell from coming here. How we will combat this?" Xolimercia asks the spirit of Stabella as the others want to know the same thing.
"Preforming the counter spell is just as difficult as bringing the Musicolan Black Moon here. There are very limited people that can do it that being people descended from Shirona or those who has been pardoned by the Music Jewel of Justice. If anyone does come with the rangers to do that blasted counter spell, we will make sure that he or she won't be able to do it". The Spirit of Stabella said to the group. The group nods as they fully understand it.
=UNIVERSE=
At the headquarters of the Mystic Warrior Rangers, the teens has returned as they have the other teens from other ranger teams with them. Layla and Anna are not awake as they are still recovering from the mission to free them of the evil control.
"Daranten, is there any way we can find out where they are keeping Azalea to go rescue her?" Isabelle asks Daranten as it is on the minds of the others especially Maggie, Daniel, Velvet, and Theo.
Daranten nods as he has the map of the surround areas. Aron and Agathasia are doing the search for evil signatures on the computers. Morgana glanced over and let out a small sigh of relief seeing both there, and that the two were okay.
"I'll talk to that one after this." Morgana thought to herself.
"My children are working on it as we speak. If they are planning to bring that moon to this dimension, they will probably have Stabknights waiting to keep us from busting in there to get Azalea out of there." Daranten said to them as it brings them down.
Frankie looks at them as Sabrina Grace is with them. "I have done some research on this black moon. Apparently, there is a counter spell to stop it. However, according to the research, there are certain people that can do it just as there are certain people that can do the dark spell to bring the moon here." Frankie said to the group.
The teens look at each other as they look at Frankie. "What do you mean by only certain people that can do the counter spell?" Ellie asks Frankie as the others wants to know the same thing.
Frankie looks at Ellie as she pulls up the research to the monitors. "It says here that those who are descendants of Shirona or those who has been pardoned by the Music Jewel of Justice are the only ones that can preform the counter spell. However, it says here that the counter spell has to be done at the same time as the dark spell is being performed." Frankie said to everyone in the room.
Ellie slightly frowns as she pinches the bridge of her nose. "Well this definitely complicates things. We don't even know anyone who can do the counter spell." Ellie said to them as it bringing spirits down to Velvet, Maggie, and Theo.
"This is all my fault. I...I couldn't protect her. Maggie is right." Velvet thought thinking back to the ranger meeting and how angry her younger sister was at her.
Sabrina Grace looks at them as she went forward. "Then perhaps it's a good thing I am here. I am one of the few who can preform the counter spell. Thought it's just as Frankie said it must be done when the dark spell is being preformed as well. Though it's likely they know about the counter spell." Sabrina Grace said to everyone in the room.
The teens frowns as they realize that they need to come up with a sophisticated plan "If they want to bring that moon here, they will have to deal with all of us. Plus no doubt that they will try to stop Sabrina Grace from completing the counter spell." Chris said to them as it is something to keep in mind.
Morgana looks at them as she is wondering more about the moon "Why do they need the moon here instead of Daniel's dimension? I mean what it will accomplish for them besides weaken those with music fairy powers?" Morgana asks them as it is something doesn't add up.
Sabrina Grace sighs looking at them "I've done research, and I discovered one of the other abilities that the moon has not even the Music Force Next Generation team knew. There is a ritual that can revive a dark being." Sabrina Grace told them as this made them all grow a bit stiff.
"Okay, but what does Azalea have to do with it though?" Rodney asks Sabrina Grace as he has a sinking feeling that the answer will be coming soon from someone he didn't expect it from.
Sabrina Grace looked down "According to an old Musicolan Legend a person who has Musicolan connections or powers must be exposed to the light of the black moon to bring an evil back to physical form. Given who took Azalea I can only think of one they'd want to revive." Sabrina grace says as Daniel clenched his fist a knowing expression on his face.
Maggie looks to her dad hearing this "Why didn't you tell me mom has that kind of connection?" She asked in shock as Velvet and Theo had mixed feeling about it as they glanced at each other. The others looked at one another unsure how to comfort any of the triplets.
Daniel sighed "When we were dating that was one of the things me and Azalea talked about. We agreed to keep it a secret from our children unless something like this happened." He explained.
Velvet nods in understanding while Theo comforts Maggie "I understand da...Daniel. The both of you wanted to protect us." Velvet says, but was now feeling down. She understood how protective Azalea is of her and the others.
"So when is this moon suppose to be rising on Musicola?" Chris asked Sabrina Grace as it was the same question on everyone's mind.
"It will be rising at 7:37 this evening on Musicola. Now doubt Xolimercia will preform the spell at that time as well." She told them.
"That's only in a few hours." Kathy muttered.
"So not a whole lot of time." Rodney said knowing how intense things we about to get.
"I'm with Rodney on this one. I don't think they'd be expecting all of us to pull off a rescue and trying to stop them from bringing that moon here." Arlen agreed as he knows how dangerous this mission is going to get.
"Well they already got the jump on us once. Melodalix and Vogue are the ones that showed up in their dimension and captured Azalea. They'd probably do something similar." Amy told them as most are thinking the same thing.
Issac nods "With this size of rangers though we need to be well organized. Probably multiple groups." Issac suggested.
"Agreed. We should be divided into at least four groups. Each group has a different job for the mission." Caleb said as the red rangers glance to one another in agreement.
Kathy bit her lip and closed her eyes thinking. She then let out a breath and stepped up "If It's not to much trouble I...I have a suggestion." She told them all.
Morgana looks to her little sister and nods urging her to continue on "I think there should be one red ranger leading each group instead of placing them all in one. We'd be balanced, and have someone to take charge of each group." She says doing her best to step up as a second in command with Nora gone.
Ellie looked at the younger yellow ranger "I'm with her. Though how about each group also has a variety of rangers from different teams as well. That way each team isn't made up purely of members from the same team." She suggested as Whitney nodded in agreement.
Zeke hummed at this "Each team tailored with a different skill sets and various strengths and weaknesses that can be covered." Zeke said.
"They caught the Treasure Warriors off guard when they attacked, but with four teams together they have no chance to surprise us." He added on then as Sofia smiles glad to see how much her brother has changed.
Whitney smirks thinking about it "Giving them a taste of their own medicine. I like that idea. Though I suggest that the group lead by either Maggie or Velvet should be the ones to enter the HQ and free Azalea. Theo should also be a part of the group since the three are Azaleas children." Whitney told them all.
"Azalea fought hard to get them back and reunite with them. It's there turn to do the same thing." She then added on shocking everyone who then looked to the triplets who have tears building in their eyes.
"I see where you are coming from Whitney. However if they are going to be in a group together I will be with them as well. Azalea means as much to me as she does to them." Daniel said as he made his mind up.
Frankie steps forward "I want to be in there group as well. Azalea helped me, and I want to her her to." She says.
"She helped me to. If it wasn't for her I'd still be questioning myself." Kathy said.
"I owe Azalea as well." Issac said.
Seeing them all like that it was obvious they wouldn't step down as they'd be Azalea's group "I suggest the remaining red rangers think of the role they want to preform." Daranten said to the rest of them.
Morgana went first looking at everyone "My group I want to protect Sabrina Grace while she preforms the counter spell. I got a gut feeling my group will take most of the attack because of that though." She said as she thought about her role in the rescue plan.
Isabelle thought as well on her role "There is no doubt in my mind those Staknights will will be coming out full force along with whoever is a part of the group that's behind Azalea's capture as well." Isabelle said to the rest.
The teens considered among themselves and eventually made up their minds going towards each red ranger.
Morgana's group it consisted of Morgana, Epona, Ellie, Hawke, Kwan, Jade, and Zeke.
Isabelle's group was made up of Isabelle, Cliff, Casey, Drew, Caleb, Justin, Sofia, and Macy.
In the final group it was Velvet, Maggie, Daniel, Kathy, Theo, Arlen, and Chris.
As they're getting their group together an alarm goes off as they got a lock on Azalea, but it was showing her Neo Defender ranger signature on the screen.
Seeing the location Aron was confused "That's strange. According to the monitors Azalea is at a location between Milky Way and Walkerton?" Aron says as Agathasia frowned.
Morgana approached Agathasia noticing this "Everything okay?" she asked seeing her frown.
Agathasia jumped a bit "Oh uhh...yeah everything is fine. Also I am sorry about the dance." Agathasia whispered.
"Kiki. I almost forgot she told me about that." Daniel said smiling a bit.
"She told me she kept her Neo Defender morpher hidden on her. Especially now that she has the purple Treasure Warrior morpher on her. She kept it just in case she needed to send a location in case of emergency and such." Daniel told them.
Isabelle understands as it seems the right time to launch their rescue plan "We better move now. Everyone get to position, and I'll give the signal." Isabelle said to them all as Sabrina Grace went with them.
Morgana waves at Agathasia as they left. She waves back, and then takes out a phone sending a message to someone before putting it away.
=UNIVERSE=
At the evil HQ Melodalix frowned having just gotten a message from one of the officers "Mother we have a problem. It appears that we didn't search our prisoner as well as we thought. She still has her Neo Defender morpher on her, and the rangers are on their way here with Sabrina Grace." She said.
"How do you know this?" The spirit of Stabella asked.
"The Master has a silent partner working as an informant who has informed me of the rangers plans to rescue Azalea, and their groups." Melodalix explained.
Stabella grew intrigued, but also angry by the news "Punish her for this, and take her morpher. As for the rangers we must make preparations for they're 'surprise' ambush. This informant has given us quite the advantage as they no doubt don't know they have a traitor in their midst." Stabella told her.
Melodalix nods to her "Yes Mother." She says to the spirit and leaves for the dungeons.
In said dungeon Azalea was thinking of a plan to try and make an escape attempt, but hears footsteps coming towards her cell wondering if they are going to take her somewhere else.
Melodalix stops at her cell which from the look Azalea was getting she already had the feeling something was up "You know when we first caught you we only believed you had your Treasure Warriors morpher. No one told me you kept your Neo Defender morpher hidden till now." She says to Azalea and then attacked her with a burst of her dark powers.
Azalea was a bit surprised, but then realized someone must have told them. She grit her teeth in pain as she tried to resist screaming.
"How is she attacking me when I'm in this bubble?" She thought and shot the girl a glare.
Melodalix laughs a bit "This bubble is special Miss Mentor. While it keeps your ranger powers that hit it will not be able to break it. Though it will allow for any kind of dark power to enter and exit it." She says.
"How did you know about my other morpher?" Azalea asked.
Melodalix laughed at this "Oh that. That would be thanks to my little informant among the rangers." She said increasing the effects of her powers to force Azalea to reveal her morpher is.
Azalea frowned at this learning there was essentially a traitor among the rangers "Whoever it is they won't get away with it. You also aren't going to find where my other morpher is." She says trying to resist the pain and fight back as well.
Melodalix grins having expected that reply as she uses her psychic power to search Azalea "Had a feeling you might say that." She says her eyes glowing a dark purple color.
Azalea couldn't move going stiff like a board, but then feels her necklace being removed as that is what the Neo Defender morpher was disguised as the morpher within it.
"How did you know where it was?" Azalea asked completly in shock her having finding it so easily.
Melodalix laughs at this giving her a grin "I know a Francesca gadjet when I see it. Especially since she was the one that tricked me with one." She started.
"Then again the old saying about beware the quite ones is also true isn't it?" She then asked as Azalea just glares.
"There is more to being truly chosen as a ranger than their flaws and weaknesses Melodalix. It's who they are within, and being able to work on and conquer those weaknesses along with any past pain they experienced." Azalea says the pain starting to get to her.
Melodalix frowns and increases the power to punish her further "Report back to the main room Melodalix. Your job is done." Stabella says stopping the conversation and the attack on Azalea.
"Relax while you can. Things are going to get exciting pretty soon." She taunts and laughs leaving. Vogue was nearby and had heard about what she said, and starts to head back to the main room as well.
In the room the five bow to the spirit as Melodalix puts the necklace in a box with the purple morpher "The rangers are on their way to this location. I don't believe they suspect we know of their rescue plan, and attempt to stop the black moon from coming." Stabella's spirit started as she looked to them.
"Xolimerica you will be the one to preform the ritual. Vogue and Salem, you two are our eyes I want you on the tower. Alert us when you see the rangers heading toward the building, when someone begins the counter spell, and the group attempting to sneak in." She instructed.
"Melodalix your job will be setting a trap for the group trying to sneak in and rescue Miss Mentor. I also want you, and Arianna to bring the prisoner to a special room. That way she won't be able to make an escape attempt." She continues ordering them.
"Yes mother." The group said and left the room as Vogue frowns seeing the two headed towards the dungeon.
"Annoyed your not one of the ones to bring her to the special room sister?" Salem asked a knowing expression on her face.
Vogue glances at Salem and then shrugs "It doesn't bother me that much Salem. Besides, Mother knows best." Vogue said as they make their way to the tower.
That's it for Episode 44 of this, but we have also come to the start of another crossover as Stabella's four daughters Arianna, Melodalix, Vogue, and Salem are together along with Stabella descendant Xolimerica. Seems like the best laid plans may just not be enough as it seems our villains are on to them with an inside source. Well I can't say much, but I hope that you all will enjoy what is to come in this crossover event. So until the next time that we meet everyone this has been your friendly fanfiction author decode9!
