XIII. Power Rangers In Retrograde - Mystic Force – The Gatekeeper Part 2
(Based from summaries from .com)
"Titan Formation!" Red exclaims.
Quickly the Rangers go titan combining into the Titan Megazord, powering their sword they swing at the gargoyle, in a flash of smoke he is behind them, they swing around only for it to vanish to the side, flanking them with it's spear and sending them careening into the gate.
"Hello Rangers," Morticon gloats, reaching out through a crack in the gate at the Megazord, "your Megazord cracked the gate, enough for me to slip though!"
The Rangers are frozen in fear a moment and Morticon continues, the Gargoyle advanced on them from behind, "Now the whole world will know my crushing power! Yes! The time has come, the destruction of the surface world is at hand!"
"Yes, I've done it," pinned between the two the Megazord can do little more then watch as Morticon pulls himself free, blasting them with a dark magical blast from his sword, "I'm free!"
"Oh no!"
"He's out!"
"What now?"
"We've got to fight him?"
"Looks like we have no choice," The Red Ranger says, "Come one guys."
The Titan Megazord swings but Morticon easily deflects the blade with his own, hammering the Titan Megazord with his own blade.
Taking to the sky the Ranger try to summon their Titan Spirits for an aerial attack, Morticon blocks that, the Titan Megazord on their back he hammers them with a dark magic strike, demorphing the Rangers.
Clare gasps as she sees Udonna, Liera is crouched in a corner clutching thew Snow Staff for dear life, "Udonna, Necrolai...where am I?" as she tries to move she is shocked by the magical barrier around her.
"Your magic was strong enough to raise the gate," Koragg says as Clare comes around. "Now we'll see if you have enough power to open it."
"Don't do it Clare," Udonna warns, "No matter what happens."
"I will never help you Koragg," Clare says firmly.
"I don't intend to ask for your magic," Koragg threatens, "I intend to take it."
Summoning the Eye of the Master a spell seal forms under Clare, causing her to howl in pain as a stone wheel device appears above her.
"Perfect," Koragg gloats, "When the spell wheel is complete the gates will open and our armies will be released."
"He's even stronger then last time," Chip groans in pain.
"He's got more dark magic energy then before," Maddie notes.
"How are we suppose to fight him if we don't have that kind of power," Xander wonders.
Dark clouds gather and the sky turns black, overhead Morticon and the Gargoyle decimate the city.
"Not this time, no holding back," Vida intones darkly as the black ranger leaves the cockpit, becoming a swarm of pats that assault the Gargoyle driving it back
Using the distraction the Titan Summons a spell seal and with one massive strike, destroying it.
"I'm coming," Phineas calls out as he summons his Mystic Racer as he speeds toward the gate, "Don't worry Udonna, Clare, I'm coming!" blasting through any Hidiacs and Styxoids that get in his way.
The others form the Dragon Megazord as they renew their assault.
Another section of the spell wheel complete, Clare howling in pain.
"I beg you Koragg," Udonna pleads, "stop this madness."
"Your please are useless," Koragg argues, "The Master's wishes must be completed to the very end."
Udonna looks to Liera then Clare with worry.
"It will soon be over," Koragg muses
"Give me the strength to fight this mother," Clare says breathing heavily.
Udonna looks on worried.
"Silence!" Koragg demands, "It is almost done."
The Spell wheel only one track away from completion, causing another pulse of energy to be drawn out of Clare to wedge open the gate.
"The gate is almost open," Koragg says with pride.
"But the Gatekeeper's energy is almost gone." Udonna pleads, "Clare will not survive."
"It is the only way," Koragg says with a hint of regret.
"I promised you mother to always protect you," Udonna says sadly, "Now I've broken my promise."
Clare looks up to Udonna with all the strength she can muster, "This isn't your fault."
"Koragg!" The Red Ranger says leaping in from out of nothing, his kick forcing Koragg back some distance, "Let them go!"
"Phineas!" Udonna smiles as the spell wheel vanishes and Clare collapses to the ground.
"I'll get you all out," The Red Ranger says drawing his sword, "Koragg!" he demands, "I challenge you to fight, right no..."
He is cut short as dark magic arks through his body from passing through the gate, his body twisting, growing, changing, until their small space is now occupied by a Dragon whose fire breath drives Koragg back leaving the new dragon to thrash about threatening to bring the entire cavern down around the trio.
Liera acts quickly as she grabs Udonna's cage and the weak Clare and makes a break for it as the cavern begins to collapse.
the Bat Swarm and Dragon trade blows with Morticon as an energy ray hits the gate and it starts to descend, "No, this is impossible." Morticon howls.
"Phineas did it!" Black exclaims, before quickly forming into a Titan version of Necrolai and kicking Morticon back toward the gates.
Necra watches in shock as the gate descends, and the sky clears.
"My Dark Magic," Morticon howls, "Who dares interfere."
As Morticon stumbles and the Dragon Megazord turns around for another round it begins to snow, "Where is this energy coming from?"
"Let's see what it can do," the Green Ranger answers, "Final Strike!"
"Time to end this," Morticon gloats, his blade encased in dark energy as the Dragon and Necrolai Megazords charge at him.
As the two powers collide the dark energy wrapped around Morticon blade freezes, the weight of it to much forcing him to stumble backward.
"It's got to be Udonna," Black and Blue say together as they charge forward, for another final attack.
"Now we can't loose," The Green Ranger says as they strike dead on, Morticon stumbling backward, before collapsing. "Checkmate!"
"Wake up child," Udonna says calmly as Clare rouses from the ground of the mystic wood, it is snowing and a Liera is clutching the Snow Staff for dear life. "It's over."
"Udonna," Clare says happily getting to her feet, "Your alive!" the she pauses looking at the Liera and scowls, "What is she doing here?"
"It's alright child," Udonna says calmly, "We must hurry back to Rootcore, I will need you assistance to break the spell placed on Phineas."
Clare nods, then glances down at the crown in her hands, "There's a little power left, not much, not enough to become the Gatekeeper again."
"The power of the Gatekeeper will come to you in time, for now save the crown, things are going to get a whole lot worse from hear on out, despite Morticon's destruction."
Clare tilts her head curiously as they walk, "H-How so?"
Back in the underworld Phineas the dragon thrashes as some Hidiacs try to approach other to be blasted to nothing by his fire breath.
Koragg raises his shield as he approaching Phineas, weathering the flames as he summons an energy whip at the end of his blade lashing at the head of the dragon, "Behave you beast, behave or be trapped in there forever!"
A massive swarm of bats descend on the village separating into 3 swarms as they fly into a different huts collessing into LeeLee, Alexis, and Nicole when they each gasp and then retreat back out hiding behind some rocks as they take their humanoid form.
"Their cows!"
"Bovines!" Nicole corrects as she shifts into her normal form, "It's my tribe."
Blecker rushes in as LeeLee calls out, "Nicole wait!"
"They may not be receptive."
Nicole knocks hard on a door, her eyes a bit manic, "Answer! Answer! Answer!"
LeeLee in bat form, and Alexis, in wolf form, come up behind Nicole as the door opens and a tired cow girl answers with a yawn, "Can I help you?"
"It's me Nicole Blecker, daughter of Martha Blecker, grand daughter of Marta Hesselhoffer, do those names mean anything to you."
The cowgirl smiles and wraps her arms around Blecker, "Oh wow we were so worried for Marta when she vanished into the human world, come in, come in. There is so much to talk about."
Blecker purrs as the trio slips inside.
Morticon's blade lies abandoned in the sand as Koragg stalks toward it, taking a firm grip of the handle, "Morticon is no more, but his weapon will be of great use to me."
Deep in the pit Necra moves about hectically, "Koragg can not be trusted, Who will lead us now that Morticon is gone?"
