II. Power Rangers In Retrograde - Mystic Force – Broken Spell Part 2
(Based from transcripts from Ranger wiki)
"On your feet. Darkness has come," Koragg orders.
Udonna struggles to her feet, "I do not know you, Warrior. But if its a battle you want, I am ready to fight."
"I am Koragg, the Knight Wolf." Koragg throws out his hand, summoning a spell seal. Udonna takes a step back cautiously. "Uthe Mejor Catastros! Ride up from your depth!"
A giant horse jumps out of the spell seal, galloping through the air.
"Sumbol Unithos Equestras! Power of the centaur!" Koragg jumps into the air, passing through another spell seal, and joining with Catastros. "Haha. You are now just pebbles under my hooves." Koragg rears, and Udonna steps back in alarm.
"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" Udonna steps forward, and a magical seal rises under her, "Galwit Mysto Prifior!" turning into a gigantic version of herself, as big as Koragg. They square off, Old West style.
"I'm ready."
"Energy of Light, FIRE!"
Koragg deflects the blast with his shield, "Darkness destroys light."
Their duel was like an old dance, like lovers, like seasoned veterans. Udonna ran at Koragg, he laughs evilly and kicks Udonna in the chest. Koragg swings his sword, Udonna parries, back and forth.
"Have I seen you before, Wizard? You are too familiar."
"And you too, Witch. But that will not stop me from destroying you."
"What?" Udonna exclaims in shock as the Wolf Warrior's shield starts to open.
"Behold the Eye of the Master!" the shield revealing a red gem. The light from it knocking Udonna flying. "Charge!"
Koragg jumps on the fallen Udonna, and slashes her with his sword. Udonna flails in a show of sparks, then disappears. Her staff lands in the ground, and it starts snowing, "You are defeated."
Lying on the ground, groaning, the white witch left prone, her morph exploding as she reverts to human form and size.
"Uggh," She groans as she struggles to her feet and quickly chants a spell vanishing as she collapses.
Koragg snorts, turns, and disappears into the ground, back to the Underworld.
-
"Our first victory. Hail the Master! Hail!" Koragg cheers, as Necrolai crosses her arms and scoffs.
"Then why did you let the White Ranger escape?"
Koragg huffs, "She was a coward and fled but I have show my superiority over the White Witch she will not escape next time."
Morticon scowls, "You had best be right Koragg..."

Rootcore
Udonna is surprised to see all four waiting, and is a bit disappointed but hides it well, 'The real Power Rangers would have felt compelled to investigate, could I have chosen wrong?' before she notices N. Blecker rubbery looking legs, insect wings and faceted eyes, four arms, horse tail, cat ears, and elephant nose and the guilty look on Clare, "What happened to you?"
Blecker cries, rolling over to Udonna and tugging on her dress, "Make her stoooooop!"
"Oh child," Udonna says compassionately to Clare, and with a wave of her wand Blecker's is back to normal, save the horse tail. "My Apologies."
He whinnies and stops a foot, "Can we go now? Please?"
No one moves.
"Come on," he pleads.
"Magical witches turning guys knees to rubber not convincing enough for you?" Chip injects.
"Look at me!"
Before Chip can protest Udonna waves his off dismissively as Blecker hands the wand back to Udonna, "Use the Trees they will take you back to the town."
Blecker opens his mouth to protest but then shuts it, "Uh….thanks..."
'Wow she's more resonantly then the Princess,' Blecker mushes as he takes his leave.
"These might be good for Chip, but…" Xander gestures with his wand as Chip mock duels with it.
Udonna looks back at Clare, who nods, amused, "Very well. Utum Zore!"
Udonna waves her hand, and the wands in the teens' hands are transformed into cell phones. The teens examine them closely, sort of like any kid being given new tech.
"I hope you find these more to your generation's liking." Udonna muses.
"Cell phones. Very cool." Chip jokes.
"They are your Mystic Morphers. They are activated by spellcodes that you will come to learn along the journey. Now go back to the city, live your normal lives, and wait until you are needed. Remember, there is evil everywhere, and you would be best served speaking to no one of what has happened."
As the teens prepare to leave Udonna stops Xander, handing him an additional Mystic Morpher, "hen Nick calks down give hims this."
Xander smiles and takes it, "I'll hang onto it but I'm not sure if Nick's going to be up to any magic after what just happened."
Udonna pauses a moment in thought, "Just try."
"I can show them the way out of the woods!" Clare offers, running after Blecker, Chip, and Madison.
"No, they must find their own way. Just remember: the trees are your passage." Udonna advises.
"A-Alright," Clare mumbles unsure as she stops, leaving the Rangers on their own.
-
Standing outside the teens stare perplexed at skinny, newgrowth, trees.
"How could a tree be our… passage…?" Chip wonders raising his hand to touch the tree, and is sucked in in a flash of light. The other teens' faces are shocked, and right then the tree spits Chip back out, he twitches about in excitement. "Whoa, guys, its so cool! Just touch the tree, and–BAM–you're flying through roots, branches, stems, leaves, and bark… just think of the tree in front of the record shop. Really. It works."
Xander approaches the tree, as Chip stands back, "Nononono. There is no way that this could-"
Xander touches the tree, and is sucked in in a flash of light. He's tossed out in front of the record shop, a totally unbelieving expression on his face. He looks back and forth in confusion. Toby walks out of the shop, looking at a piece of paper. He eyes Xander, who is obliviously trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
"Okay, it can!"
The other teens come flying out of the tree behind Xander, slamming into him and knocking all four forward. Toby's mouth is open in confusion.
"Hey, you guys just… from the tree…"
The teens approach Toby, and Xander raises his arms in a 'I don't know' gesture.
"Nevermind."
"You feeling okay?" Nick asks Toby.
The four head inside the record shop, but Xander pauses, looking to Blecker, whispering, "Eh bloke, yer ears."
Blecker whinnies and reaches up his fingers tracing long equine furred ears, and wit ha distressed stomp his shoes split revealing hooves.
"Come on the back way out is this way, we'll head back to Udonna and Clare."
Blecker starts to cry again, while back at the tree Toby circles it curiously.
"Uh, I gotta check this out," Toby leans over to look at the tree, then points at it. He walks into it, sure that something will happen. Instead, he just bumps his head.
-
Some time later, outside the Rock Porium…
"Hey there." Madison approaches Nick, who is loitering at the edge of some trees.
"Hey."
"So still..." she looks him up and down, cautiously, "half horse."
Nick shakes his head, "It stopped at the hooves, for now, Udonna said that due to the number of spells I just have o let this one run its course."
Trying to change the subject she laughs nervously, "So, while we're out in the world fighting evil, whatever you gonna do?"
"I don't know….I just know I cant handle this kinda stuff again."
'Again?' Madison wonders, but before she can press the issue Blecker's stomach grumbles, And without thinking she summons up some carrots.
Blecker Glares daggers at her before admitting defeat and taking them, slumping to the ground, silent munching on them.
Madison winces in embarrassment and turns to leave, her voice cracking, "I-I should get back to work."
-
Udonna and Clare watch this scene on a crystal orb.
"Forget him, Clare. It is not to be."
"Yea, I guess so. I just don't know why the Xenotome showed five warriors, not four. Maybe I'm the fifth warrior!"
Clare raises her broom, swinging it around like a sword. She nearly hits Udonna, who ducks, and then grabs the broom on the return swing. They begin walking up the stairs towards the Xenotome.
"Probably not. What is more curious to me is why Nick has such an unusual aura it's almost as if he's from the forest, or some place like it..."
"Oh," Clare glancing at to the Red broom podium, "Do you think..."
Udonna pauses, glancing down at her own wand, "Sweep, please." a reflective look on her face.
"But, its a good thing you didn't move on when I started here. Any other sorceress would have tossed me to the trolls when I cracked the crystal ball, or when I dried up the lake, or when I–"
"Yes, there was a long list of things you needed to learn. Not to mention turning yourself into a sheep." Both pause, and shake their heads, laughing. Udonna strokes Clare's hair in a maternal gesture. "You, child. You are not someone I would ever give up on."
"And I appreciate that… but, just for reference, so when I become a powerful sorceress I'll know… why is it that we're giving up on Nick?"
Udonna looks at Clare, a look of musing upon her face, "I'm not sure what the Xenotome is up to."
-
The Underworld
"Its almost time," Koragg muses.
From in the shadows behind Koragg, Necrolai and Morticon are collaborating.
"He is not to be trusted," Necrolai warns.
"And you are? Koragg! I want you and your Hidiacs to do something for me."
-
Back to Nick, moping outside of town as a buss comes in, Vida, emerging with other passangers, And Nick's Gaze drawn to his Mystic Morpher which starts to glow.
'Seriously?' then as he point it at the crowd it glow brightly at Vida, catching her eye and drawing her over, 'This is perfect.'
"One of Chip's friends," Vida laughs as she looks Blecker up and down.
"What?" Nick says confused as he looks down, "Oh the hooves."
As he puts the Mystic Morpher away he pus a hand around Vida's back, "It's a long story but I need your help with something, can you join me in the woods."
"The Woods?" Vida stops and pulls back in shock, "Are you crazy."
Blecker snorts, "Probably."
Just a short distance away as Blecker and Vida walk off Udonna watches and smiles, 'Just like when the old man asked for help and he stepped forward first, when we needed a Pink Ranger he stepped up. I knew he was the right one to lead the Rangers.'
From some way off come the voices of the other teens.
"Come on!"
The teens run out of the record shop in a line, and disappear through a tree. Nick looks concerned, and with Vida behind him they join them a moment later.
-
The five teens run out of a tree in the forest, dressed in color-coded leather and capes.
"Whoa! Check out the uniforms!" Madison exclaims.
"And cloaks!" Chip spins around in a circle, emphasizing the new items of clothing, nearly hitting Xander in the face. "Nice."
"I hate pink." Vida grouses, before suppressing a chuckled to see Nick also has Pink attire.
"V, your back!" Madison exclaims as she hugs her sister.
She nods, "Just got in, Nick already gave me the Cliff notes versions and think I might have the potential to be the, ugggh, Pink Ranger."
A flash of light in a dark place nearby wipes the good mood from their faces.
"You can go to the complaints department later, Vida. Look." Xander warns as they are surrounded by Hidiacs, stepping forward with a smile, "Time for Plan Xander."
A large group of Hidiacs rises up from a spell seal on the ground.
Xander steps forward, towards the Hidiacs, straightening his shirt. He sticks his hand out in greeting, "Hi. I'm Xander. We're not really from these parts, hey, so if its okay with you, we'll just be heading off in another–"
A Hidiac jumps up and kicks Xander in the chest, sending the unprepared boy flying backwards into his friends. They help him up. Xander stands in a fighting stance.
"Guess we fight."
"I hope everyday isn't going to be like this," Madison wonders.
The five teens jump right in, the cloaks emphasizing their movements making the battle look more like a fluid dance then hectic combat. Each teen is thrown to the ground within moments. Nick's leg seizes up, the muscles spasm and expand as fur races off from the hoof, several Hidiac siezing the moment to surround the prone ranger-to-be.
Shutting his eyes tight he grunts preparing for the attack, "I believe in magic!"
Suddenly spinning Nick turns into a living tornado blowing away several Hidiac, Vida follows suite, "I believe!" becoming a second tornado.
A chorus of voices follow suit with 'I believe.' Xander summoning up roots and vines to ensnare, Chip blasting them with lightning, Madison with a torrent of water.
"She said we'd know when to use our wands. I think this is the time!" Chip commenting.
"Ya think?!" Vida jokes.
"Let's ranger up!" Xander offers, glancing back at Nick, still spinning, "Get over here."
"Can't stop! Can't stop! Can't stooooop!" Blecker whinnies in distress as he tears through several more Hidiacs, shreds of clothes flying everywhere
The four teens line up, then dramatically toss their cloaks over their shoulders. They pull their cellphone wands out of the holders on their belts, and raise them to the sky. "Magical Source, Mystic Force!"
Mystic Seals appear and they transform.
"Strong as a tree! Green Mystic Ranger!"
"Ever changing as the wind! Pink Mystic Ranger!"
"Fluid as the sea! Blue Mystic Ranger!"
"Fast as lightning! Yellow Mystic Ranger!"
Xander starts off as the Ranger pose ready, as everyone shouts, "Mystic Force!"
The Rangers run after the Hidiacs, thoroughly kicking their asses this time, Blecker finally coming to a stop, head buried deep into a tree, pants replaced by twin furry hoofed legs as he struggles to pull free, as a set of Hidiacs surround him from behind. Blecker whinnies in distress as the Hidiacs are about to strike when suddenly they are thrown back, Bleckers entire lower body now thransformed to that of a Horse as his new hind quarters kicks the Hidiacks right into a blast of Lighting from Chip.
"You want more?" Chip brags as he and Vida run to help pull Blecker free.
"Let's see what I can do with this! MagiStaff! Ha!" Xander pulls out his MagiStaff, aiming at the Hidiacs. Vines appear in midair, then wrapped around the Hidiacs in groups. "MagiStaff, Axe Mode!
The staff's guard is moves to the top, and enlarged to an ax head."
"Take this!" Xander slams the ax into the ground, creating a tremor headed right for the Hidiacs, who flail around and explode in sparks.
"Bad boys! You forgot your water-wings! Ha!" Madison is standing on top of some water, and there are Hidiacs surrounding her in the water. She uses her staff to create explosions in the water, and sends one Hidiac flying away.
"Pink is not my favorite color. But trust me: its not gonna be yours, either! Wing Power!" Vida raises her staff to the sky, and large, flimsy pink wings appear on her back. She stands still, and the wings beat furiously, sending the Hidiacs coming for Blecker flying.
"Let's give them a little MagiStaff jolt and enlighten them! Crossbow mode!" Chip lowers his transformed staff, and takes aim at the Hidiacs. The entire group explodes. All the Rangers regroup and pull Blecker free, gasping.
"What now," An exasperated Nick asps but as he looks down he know what it is. His hands are furry ending in claws and stubbier. His head and neck are covered by the same fur and looks like a cat, with the horse ears, and two medium sized horn jutting from the center of his scalp.
His exasperated voice now pitched a bit higher growls, "Can this day get any worse?"
As if on cue the sky suddenly turns dark and Xander grouses something unintelligible. From a bright, ominous spell seal on the ground Koragg appears, crouching, "I'm back."
"It's Koragg!"
"Right!"
"Ugh."
"We can take him!"
"Come on V, wind power times two for the win!"
Koragg approaches the teens, and they shift around, trying to get in good stances, "You can try, but you are no match. I call on my sword from the darkness! This is your end." Koragg's sword and shield appear in his hand, and the sword makes an ominous noise as he unsheathes it.
"Okay. Now what?" Xander wonders.
"Now you will feel the power of dark magic!" Koragg's shield opens, revealing an eye.
Knocked to the ground the Rangers roll in pain, Koragg advancing on them.
"I will not be merciful this time."
"Can't we talk this over?" Xander offers.
Koragg raises his sword, growling.
"Guess not."
"You're doomed. Any last words?"
"Yea! Just one!" Nick's gorlws as he lowers his head and kicks with his hooves charging Koragg.
"Giddie up, mother fucker!" he says as he tanks the blast, cloths shreading further, furr smoking as he pushes Koragg back.
"Whoa!" everyone says.
A Ranger in read drops onto Nick's back, launching a torrent of flames at Koragg further pushing him back as the other Rangers to to their feet once more.
In Rootcore Udonna and Clare watch all this unfold from the crystal orb.
"Yes. he finally believes."
Clare dances in happiness.
Red firefly lights surround the Red Ranger atop Nick, giving new clothes and Armor to the Centaur, "Magical Source, Mystic Force!"
"Red Ranger!" Xander smiles.
"Get 'em, Nick!" Vida cheers.
"Way to go!"
"Heat things up Red Ranger!"
"Way to go!"
"Fearsome as fire! Red Mystic Ranger!"
"Prove to me your worthiness; battle my forces. Hidiacs, arise!"
Red jumps out into a clear area, preparing himself for the onrushing Hidiacs. "You fight with words? So be it. MagiStaff, do your thing!"
Red pulls out his MagiStaff, and aims it at a leaping Hidiac and transforms it into a giant ball. "Nice! Who doesn't love soccer? Let's have some kicks!"
Red kicks the Hidiac!Ball towards the other Rangers, each adding their own energy to it before it speeds back toward Red and Nick, of which the later spikes the ball with his hind hooves toward a groop of Hidiac who explode upon contact.
"MagiStaff, Sword Mode!" The MagiStaff transforms into a sword, which Red uses to expertly slice through even more Hidiacs.
Until…
"Yikes!" The Hidiacs have launched Red as they try to rein in Nick and get control as he bucks them off his back. In the air, Red is flipping around wildly as the Hidiacs shoot something at him, only for him to block it with his sword. "That all you got?"
Red goes back to flipping through them. "Power of the Dragon!" Red is surrounded by red glittering lights, and flies through the center of the group, destroying and/or scattering them everywhere. They explode.
"That's hot," He exclaims as he pats the flames on his suit out. "Ha! I guess it works after all."
The others run up to congratulate him.
"That was awesome!" Chip exclaims, before tilting his head confused "But who ARE you?"
"Mystic Force?" Red offers.
"Mystic Force!" Everyone's say together.
They combined their hands together in a show if comradely.
"Do not celebrate, Rangers. This was just one battle. Next time, the outcome will be different." Koragg says vanishing.
"A-and I gotta go!" Red's voice cracks looking down at his wrist as he quickly makes his exit.
"But your not wearing a watch,": Blue/Madison, says confused but it is too late Red is gone.

Toby is again trying to puzzle out the mystery of the teleporting tree. Once again, all he gets to show for it is a bump on the head. Inside the Rock Porium, the teens are trying to clean up from the earthquake earlier that day. Xander walks past Nick, who is reading a magazine, carrying a box.
"Nick, now that we're a team, do you feel like helping?" Xander wonders.
"I fight soulless mutants. I don't clean," Nick thrusts out HER new chest in Xander's Face, "And look what that already got me..." she whinnies, "Not to mention the hooves."
"Whoa! Whoa! down girl, were all a team here," Vida walks past Nick, shouldering him out of the way.
Nick glares death at Vida who flusters profusely, "W-Wrong choice of words."
"Ya think!" Blecker growls like a caged feline.
"Okay…settle down everyone" Madison interject with a smile, "as a wise old woman once asked: do you believe in magic?"
"You think?"
Nick nods, grinning
"Well… I believe," Madison pulls out her cell/wand, and aims it at the comics on the floor, which begin to pick themselves up. "Cool!"
"It works! Sweep like lightning!"
"Hmm…easy does it!"
Chip is using his wand to animate a broom. Xander floats the trash bags out the back door, and Vida cleans up the CDs. All sorts of junk is now floating around the store on its own.
"Sorry, Chip!" Xander almost hit Chip square in his chest.
"Hurry! Someone's coming!" Nick warns.
"Wait!" Madison says with alarm.
Toby comes walking in through the door, "Okay I knew you wouldn't–ah…oh. You would. It's clean. Very clean. Its the cleanest its ever been. Maybe it's… its lost its edge! Have I become a megashop?!" Toby worriedly bites his fingers, as the assembled teens laugh, and a girl walks in through the front door.
"Hello? I'm new in town… can somebody help me?"
"That'll be me." Xander offers before...
"No, no, me!" Chip interrupts.
Both boys rush to stand next to her, waiting for her to choose between them. She leads them on, then walks towards Nick.
"Hm… I… want… her!"
"Sorry, I don't work here."
"You know, Toby, you really gotta hire this guy, because he...she was–um–instrumental in cleaning the store." Madison smooches.
Nick twitches, and growls at Madison, "Wait! I wasn't looking for a job."
Toby looks Nick up and down, ignoring the whispering, and imperiously asks a question, "Who's the greatest guitarist ever?"
Nick looks horribly confused. The conversation makes no sense, "Well, its–its gotta be Jimi, but–"
"You're hired!"
"…Okay…"
Toby shakes Nick's hand. The confused look on Nick's face has only gotten worse, "Now help the customer."
"My name's LeeLee Pimvare. And yours?"
"I'm in trouble."
All the teens laugh at Nick.
