Author's Note: The version of the Jungle and it's animal inhabitants will be from the 2016 film
Early in the morning, the Defender Rangers were preparing to load up for a field trip to the Jungle Mowgli grew up in. Everyone but Audrey looked thrilled.
"I am not going!" Audrey protested as Jay and Chad were dragging her to the bus.
"Don't be such a baby, Audrey." Jay said to his girlfriend.
"Seriously! I'm looking forward to this!" Chad said.
Audrey struggled still.
"What's the worst that could happen?" Mal asked as the Black and Gray Rangers managed to finally get the reluctant Pink Ranger on the bus. After all the students were loaded onto the buses, Fairy Godmother gave the go-ahead for the buses to start driving.
On the Isle of the Lost, Shere Khan walked to Maleficent, a teenage girl at his side. She had brown hair that went to just below her chest, and wore tiger themed clothes. It was his daughter, Connie.
"Do you have it?" Maleficent asked.
Shere Khan nodded then Connie handed the evil fairy one of her father's fangs and Maleficent created a monster from it with her magic.
"Tigroar at your service, Maleficent." The monster said.
"Travel to the Jungle and destroy those annoying Power Rangers!" Maleficent said then opened a portal for the monster. Tigroar went through the portal and ended up in the Jungle.
"Time to hunt down the Rangers." It said then began to hunt.
The Rangers and their classmates arrived at the Man-village where they met Mowgli, Shanti, and their daughter Shari. Before long, Mowgli and his daughter were helping the Rangers relax and were telling them about the bear necessities. Not long after they all were having a good time in the village, a voice echoed on the other side of the bridge.
"Power Rangers! Come out and face me!" Tigroar shouted.
Many of the students and villagers scattered. Only the Rangers stood strong.
"Rangers, what time is it?" Mal asked.
"It's morphin time!" The other Rangers called out then summoned their Morphers.
"Defender Ranger, Power Up! Ha!" All but Chad and Sarah said.
"Gray Ranger! Energize!" Chad said.
"Power of the Phoenix!" Sarah said then they all morphed.
"Power of the Raven! Purple Defender Ranger!" Mal said.
"Power of the Deer! Blue Defender Ranger!" Evie said.
"Power of the Snake! Black Defender Ranger!" Jay said.
"Power of the Wolf! Red Defender Ranger!" Carlos said.
"Power of the Gator! Green Defender Ranger!" Freddie said.
"Power of the Tiger! Yellow Defender Ranger!" Lonnie said.
"Power of the Hammerhead! Silver Defender Ranger!" Jane said.
"Power of the Swan! Pink Defender Ranger!" Audrey said.
"Power of the Beast! Gold Defender Ranger!" Ben said
"Power of the Manta! White Defender Ranger!" Allie said.
"Power of the Dragon! Aqua Defender Ranger!" Jordan said.
"Power of the Cheetah! Orange Defender Ranger!" Doug said.
"Power of the Leopard! Crimson Defender Ranger!" John said.
"Power of the Lion! Scarlett Defender Ranger!" Ruby said.
"Power of the Bear! Gray Defender Ranger!" Chad said.
"Power of the Peacock! Indigo Defender Ranger!" Dizzy said.
"Fire of the Phoenix and Courage of the Stallion! I am the Blazing Phoenix!" Sarah said.
"Auradon's Protectors Never Back Down!" The Rangers said in unison. "Power Rangers Auradon Defenders!"
The Rangers summoned their weapons then started fighting the monster, but Tigroar proved to be powerful.
Before it could finish them, the monster went flying back. It and the Rangers looked to see another Ranger, this with a sapphire colored armor, came charging in with a katana that had a crystallized head of a panther on the end of the hilt.
"Power of the Panther! Sapphire Ranger!" The new Ranger said, the voice indicating that it was a girl in the suit.
Easily, the Sapphire Ranger took on Tigroar and quickly sent it running.
All but the Sapphire Ranger took off after the monster, which headed to Auradon City. The Sapphire Ranger went off in a different direction. She went to the ruins of an ancient palace. Once inside, she encountered the spirit of the king of the Bandar-log.
"Where do you think you're going?" King Louie asked.
"There is something I seek, Banana Breath!" She said.
King Louie looked mad. "Listen, little cub! If you want what is in my palace, you gotta go through me." He said.
"With pleasure!" The Sapphire Ranger said. "Panther Katana!" She shouted, summoning her weapon.
Mal and Evie ended up flying back to their friends.
"Man, the Sapphire Ranger picked a bad time to bail on us!" Jay said.
"Wherever she is has to be important! No matter how long it takes, we have to buy her time!" Mal said.
"Mal's right! Come on, Rangers!" Ben said then the Rangers charged at the monster.
The Sapphire Ranger rolled across the stone floor of the palace, groaning.
"Give it up, little cub! You can't win! You ain't gettin' what's in here!" King Louie said.
"Yes, I am!" She retorted.
"Kid, just give up." Louie said.
"I... will... NOT!" She declared, pushing herself up. "I am the chosen warrior of the Jungle! I am the protector of the Jungle! No matter what the odds are, I won't surrender!" She added, then managed to defeat the spirit of King Louie.
In its place appeared the spirit of Akela, the late alpha of the wolf pack that took Mowgli in.
"Well done, young Ranger. You have not only proven yourself as a warrior, but also a creature of the Jungle. You have earned this as your reward." He said to her then the palace became surrounded by a mysterious glow.
"Let's finish this, Rangers!" Mal said.
"Right!" The others said then all but Sarah drew their blasters. "Defender Blasters! Final Strike!" They shouted and the combined blasts were enough to destroy Tigroar.
Not long after it fell, a portal opened and a Growth Potion made Tigroar grow.
"Now what?" Evie asked when a loud roar was heard. The rangers and Tigroar looked and saw a Sapphire colored Panther Zord running across the field.
"The Sapphire Ranger must've gone to retrieve her Zord!" Allie said.
"Red, Gray, Yellow, and Indigo Rangers, let us end this!" The Sapphire Ranger called out and Carlos, Chad, Lonnie, and Dizzy looked at each other and nodded.
"Let's do it!" Carlos said. "Wolf Zord!"
"Bear Zord!" Chad said.
"Tiger Zord!" Lonnie said.
"Peacock Zord!" Dizzy said.
Their four Zords appeared next to the Panther Zord.
"Jungle Defender Megazord! Combine now!" The five Rangers called out.
The Bear Zord jumped up, it's arms and legs detaching. The Panther Zord formed the right arm while the Peacock Zord formed the left arm. The Wolf and Tiger Zords formed the legs.
In the cockpit, Carlos, Chad, Lonnie, and Dizzy joined the Sapphire Ranger.
"Shall we finish this?" The Sapphire Ranger asked.
"Let's do it!" The other four said.
"Panther Punch!" The Sapphire Ranger said then the Megazord hit Tigroar with a right jab.
"Peacock Strike!" Dizzy said and the Megazord struck with its left arm.
"Wolf Kick!" Carlos said then the Megazord kicked the monster with its left left.
"We've got this cat put in a corner!" Lonnie said.
"Let's finish this!" The five of them said.
The Bear Zord's mouth opened and powered up. "Jungle Defender Megazord! Bear Blast! Final Strike!" The five said in unison then a blast shot from the Megazord's chest.
"This cat got skinned!" Tigroar shouted as it exploded.
"Defender Rangers, Auradon is safe!" Carlos, Lonnie, Chad, and Dizzy said.
Back at the base, Mal looked at the Sapphire Ranger. "We'll show you ours if you show us yours." She said.
The Sapphire Ranger nodded. "Power Down!" She said and was revealed to be...
"Shari?!" The Rangers said, demorphing.
"How...?" Fairy Godmother asked.
"Akela's spirit guided me to my Morpher. Ever since I found it, I used my Ranger powers to become the protector of the Jungle, but seeing you guys fight for the city means our missions are the same. If you'll have me, I'll gladly join the team." Shari said.
The others immediately welcomed her with open arms.
That's chapter twenty-five. You guys know the process.
