China returned to the Megazord to help her friends keep the rift open until they finally pulled it open and walked through. "Hey! Where'd he go?" Chip asked.

"Right here!" Hekatoid pops out of the water and bops them on the head with his hammer. "I have Udonna! I have Udonna!" He sang, taunting the Rangers.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

In the woods. Morgonna looked around before transforming back into Ileana. As she did Culpepper and Spencer walked up.

"Ileana!" Spencer smiled, making her turn to him. "You're ok!"

"Spence, you were worried about me." She smiled at him, making him blush a little.

Suddenly Clare and Phineas stumbled towards them. "Hi guys!" Clare smiled brightly as the three turn to her as Clare waved at the three.

"Clare, what are you doing here?" Culpepper asked. "You should be at Rootcore."

"My aunt is in trouble." Clare stood her ground. "And Nick is fighting a Terror. I am not going to sit idle by as the only family I have left, leave me."

Ileana nodded, impressed. "Well said Clare." She smiled with a nod.

"So, where is Udonna?" Phineas asked.

Ileana moves to some bushes, pushing the bushes aside a little. "Inside that portal." She answered as two Styxoids stood guarding an entrance.

"What's your plan on getting past those two?" Culpepper asked Ileana, looking at her.

"You use magic, it's gonna alert others."

"Then what do we do?" Clare asked.

"This." Ileana took a step backwards, her hands glowed as she crossed her hand in front of her and moved them down, transforming her into Morgonna. "Glad I can still pull this off." She smiled.

"Whoa!" Phineas plops down on his butt, while staring at her. "So … uh … who. Uh." He stuttered, scratching his head.

"Undercover work is my specialty." Morgonna told him. She moves towards the portal and the two Styxoid's stop her.

"No passage."

"'No passage?' Don't you idiots know who I am? I am the Master's daughter! Outta the way and you won't be turned to toads." She threatens. "Now, let's try again."

"You're not on the list." The other one said.

"You two worms are really testing the waters. All I gotta do is make my way towards my father and you two will never see the light of day as you'll be thrown to the Rangers, who will most definitely destroy you!"

The two creatures look at each other. "Yes ma'am." The two turn to face the woods. Morgonna turns to Culpepper, Spencer, Clare and Phineas and motioned for the four.

"Now, shut your mouths, and do not move!" Morgonna said sternly. "If you do, you'll be nothing but dust!" She warns as her friends single file into the portal.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

The Rangers had Hekatoid on the ground. "You can't have her!" The Terror whined.

"Let her go!" Chip shouts. "Come on!"

"I won't give her up! She's my prize!" Hekatoid said as he struggled underneath the Megazord, he lets go of Udonna for a second before tossing her into the air with his tongue.

"NO!" Nick shouted. They were seconds from reaching Udonna when Hekatoid uses his sledge and transports her out of the Rangers' reach. "I got her back!" The Terror taunted, laughing. "And I'll take something else!" He disappears.

The Rangers ejected out the Megazord and powered down. "I can't believe we let him get away with her." Nick said.

"Nick, as long as we're still breathing, we're not stopping." Vida told him.

"Even if I stop breathing, I'm not stopping." Chip said.

"Thanks guys." Nick said, looking at his friends.

"Not a problem." Maddie replied.

"Alright, let's Ranger up." Nick said, pulling out his morpher and flipping it open. "Ready?"

"Ready!"

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!"

Nothing happened, and the Rangers lowered their arms. "He stole our powers." Nick said.

"Damn." China shook her head.

"Oh man, not again." Vida groaned.

Nick started to panic a little. "We're not Power Rangers anymore. I can't help mom."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

No on the other side of the portal, Culpepper is in the front. "How can anyone live in such a dark and smelly place?" Clare asked as she clutches the back of Culpepper's shirt.

"I dunno know. A few curtains." Phineas started, until they heard a noise.

"Come on!"

"Hide!" Spencer said, and they quickly hurried to hide around a corner.

"Why do we always get portal duty?" A Styxoid asked. "I want to see some action!"

"Ah, count yourself lucky. Those guys never come back."

Clare sighed in relief, she turns. "Do you think they heard us?" She asks with a whisper.

"I don't think so." Morgonna whispered back.

"Uh oh." Phineas suddenly said. "I think a rock spider just crawled up my pants."

"Shh!" Both girls shushed him, causing the Troblin to shush his pants. Culpepper rolled his eyes in annoyance at the Troblin.

"Look." Clare reaches out carefully from the hiding spot and picks up a piece of cloth. The others crawl over to her.

"Oh." Phineas said, recognizing the cloth. "I think I know where that came from."

"We're close to Udonna." Spencer realized. "It's the only thing that's white."

"Look, I don't mean to be a doomsayer, but, uh … doom." Phineas said. "Doom, doom, doom, doom. Cake! Ha ha! Ok, we tried, but if Udonna's not here, then where is she?"

"Culpepper, can you sense her?" Morgonna asked, looking at him.

Culpepper closes his eyes and holds up his left hand. "Her aura is faint. She was here."

Suddenly they heard a noise, and Clare started to whimper as she looked for a place to hide. Culpepper took her arm and pulled her to a hiding place as Hekatoid approaches.

"Yum, yum! Cakes, pies, doughnuts!" He said happily, now stuffing his face. "Mmmm! Yum, yom, yum."

"That's him." Clare whispered to Culpepper, as he placed a finger to his lips. "He captured Udonna." She whispered.

"The Rangers don't know about this secret hideout, my prize." Hekatoid said to Udonna. "They'll never find you, and anyway, I have their powers in here!"

"Ooh, I'll put you back in your proper place while I wait for my poison tadpoles to be born." Hekatoid said as the Styxoids laid Udonna down. "They're almost ready to fall." He then sees Daggeron trying to destroy the tadpoles. "My babies! That monster!" He roars and runs out to save the poison tadpoles.

Once he was gone, the Mystics move out from around the corner.

"Udonna!" Clare cried as they hurry up to her. "We have to hurry!"

"And Culpepper used magic, those undead creatures are gonna come back." Morgonna said with worry, she took a step back and transformed back to herself. "Now that I used mine, they'll be here shortly."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

In the city, Daggeron grunts as he continues to at the poison tadpoles.

"We're running out of energy!" Jenji said.

"We can't stop now." Daggeron replied. "Let's do it!"

Before he could finish, Hekatoid interrupts. "Quit it!" The Terror bellowed.

"Oh, no!"

"I was wondering why my babies weren't falling." Hekatoid said. "What are you doing!?"

"Just doing my job … like this!" Daggeron answered. "Furnace Blast!" Suddenly the Solar Streak Megazord ran out of energy. "Jenji, what happened?"

"We don't have any pressure, Daggeron. We used it zapping all those tadpoles."

"Oh, not good."

"Seems you wasted your power. Have some of mine." Hekatoid blows into his horn, sending blue fire at the Megazord.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

"You really think LeeLee is gonna help us?" China asked as she, Nick and Xander hurried up to Rock Porium.

"I heard her talking to or about Necrolai." Nick answered.

"Fine." China hurried towards the door, and slammed into it. "Ow!" She stumbled backwards and both boys catch her.

Xander saw the sign on the door, saying they were closed. "Closed? It's 2:00." He said as he and Nick lift China back to her feet.

Nick takes the note off the door."All my employees disappeared. I went skating. Rock on in 30. Toby, Exercise and eat healthy Slambrook." He read the note out loud, he pulls out his keys and unlocks the door and the three walk in.

"LeeLee!" Nick calls.

"LeeLee!" Xander called.

"She's not here." China said as Nick looks in Toby's office.

"I can't believe this." Nick said, crumbling up the note still in his hand. "This is all my fault. If I just stayed on my bike and blew through this town, non of this would have happened!" He yelled, throwing the note to the floor.

"Nick stop it!" China scolded. "You can't worry about that now."

"Why the hell not!?" The red Ranger demanded.

"We're in this together." Xander replied.

"You don't get it." Nick said. "Nobody get it! I never knew about my real parents or where I came from. Now that I find out, its all taken away from me. I'm alone again!"

"That is bull crap!" China rounded on him. "Nick, you wanna take down your anger a few notches and listen? You forget that I also grew up without my real parents. I grew up in an orphanage, then I bounced around from family to family." A thoughtful look appeared on her face, as the boys looked at her. "Actually, I did enjoy staying with the Winslow family in Mariner Bay."

"If you liked them, why'd you leave them?" Xander asked.

"A fire happened." China answered, moving to the counter. "I got trapped in a room, and a firefighter - Carter Grayson, saved me. I think I erased everything else from what happened."

Xander turns his attention back to Nick. "I also know how you feel. You're not alone."

"You know how I feel?" Nick questioned. "Come on. You're Mr. Personality. You're always surrounded by people."

"Not always." Xander shook his head. "When I came to this country, I didn't know anyone. No one wanted to know me. I was the new guy with a silly accent, picked last on the school teams. I was teased mercilessly. Takes time to find your place. I understand loneliness. Both China and I understand leaving your friends behind. You are not alone Nick. You got us. We're your friends. We're your mates, your family."

Nick sighs. "Yeah. I'm sorry. You're right."

"Course I am." Xander grinned, making Nick chuckle. "And we're gonna get Udonna back no matter what it takes."

"Nick, we care for Udonna too." China told him. "The team is not stopping until we get your mother back."

Nick ran his hands through his hair. "But how?"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

"I think I know a spell." Ileana said as she and the others surround the table where Udonna is. "Nusatu Valerium!"

The cage around Udonna disappears and she almost fell but Spencer and Culpepper caught her.

"Udonna!" Clare cried, she and Phineas knocked off all the food on the table so the white Witch could be placed down.

"She's under a spell." Ileana said. "Nusatu Valerium Maximum!" She chanted, but the spell didn't wake her.

"It didn't wake her!" Clare cried. "What are we gonna do?"

"Stop!" Suddenly a group of Styxoids run in. "Get them!"

Culpepper and Ileana jump in front of the table to protect Udonna, Clare, Phineas and Spencer. Culpepper rushed at the Styxoids and fought them.

Ileana turns back around. "The spell. It's useless without this." She pulls out Udonna's Snow Staff.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

At Rock Porium. Vida, Maddie and Chip walk in. "No LeeLee." Vida said.

"Forget her, we can do this without her." China said.

Nick sighs. "What's plan B?" He asks, just as Toby jogs into the store.

"Oh! You're here." Their boss said with skates on his hands. "I was beginning to wonder if you worked here or not. Boy, this diet and exercise … it sure makes the world of difference. I feel fantastic!"

"Glad you're feeling better, Toby." Nick said and Toby skates over to them.

"Well, why the long faces?" He asks. "You want some water? Maybe some fruit?" He looks at the teens around him. "Uh, I - I know something's wrong. You come. You go. You come back. You go away again. You might as well tell me. It'll make you feel better."

Nick looked at his friends, who nod. "You're right." He slides off the counter. "It's time for you to know the truth. Um … we're the Power Rangers. That's why we're always running off all the time. We have to protect the world from evil."

"Uh … now, you three tried that one on me before." Toby denied as he points at Chip, Vida and Xander. "Now … now, what's the real truth?"

"That is the real truth!" The Rangers exclaimed.

"Ok, uh, well, why don't you prove it to me?" Toby asked. "Let me see you, uh … morph."

"We can't." Chip said. "We had our powers taken by an overweight, sloppy frog."

"Convenient." Toby replied, thoughtfully. "But the real Power Rangers would figure out a way to get their powers back. The fate of the world rests in their hands." He said as he walks around the teens. "See, the real Power Rangers would realize that the frog was overweight and use their agility. Right?" He demonstrated. "They're in such great shape. If he goes left, well, they'd tumble right. If he came froward, well, they'd flip over the top. Yeah. The real Power Rangers are as healthy as they come."

The Rangers look at each other, then back at their boss.

"You're right Toby." They said.

"Let's do it." Maddie said as the Rangers run out of the store.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Ileana gently placed the Snow Staff in Udonna's hands. "Ok. We need to channel our powers." She instructed, taking Spencer's hand, and they all took a hand.

"Nusatu Valerium Maximum." They all chanted. "Nusatu Valerium Maximum. Nusatu Valerium Maximum."

Udonna started to glow white as she starts to float off the table.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Daggeron is currently taking heavy damage from Hekatoid, and is soon ejected from his Megazord along with demorphing.

"Fall my babies! Take over this land!" Hekatoid shouts. Suddenly the Rangers ran up behind the Terror.

"DAD!" China ran over to Daggeron, and helped him up. "Are you ok?" She asked in concern.

"Yes." Daggeron nods.

"I have your powers. You can't do anything." Hekatoid tells the teens. The Rangers run towards the Terror just as he spews sludge at them, the Rangers dodge out of the way.

"Hey, that's not fair!" Hekatoid complains as he continues to attack the Rangers. "Stay still!"

From the side, Daggeron watched as the Rangers all ducked and dodged all the attacks.

"Whoa! The Rangers sure make a great gymnastic team!" Jenji exclaimed.

"Oh, I'm getting tired!" Whined Hekatoid. Around the corner China and Nick were waiting for him.

"How long can we keep this up?" She asks Nick.

"Until we get that jar." Nick answered, then comes out from the corner running towards Hekatoid.

The Terror continued to attack the Rangers, but soon he clips China in the arm.

"Ahh!" She cries, falling to the ground.

"China!" Daggeron races towards her.

"Oh no!" Jenji cried as he helps Daggeron pull her up. "Are you ok?"

"My arm hurts." She answered, just as Nick is able to kick the jar out of Hekatoid's grasp.

"Huh?" The Terror watches as the jar goes flying.

"Ow!" Jenji cried when the jar nailed him in the back of the head, before he caught caught it. "Huh?"

"The jar!" China laughs. "Great catch Jenji!"

"Uhhh, thanks."

"That's mine!" Shouts Hekatoid.

"You stole our powers, you slimy toad!" China told him, opening the jar and releasing their powers. The different colors headed straight for their respective Ranger.

"Arm still hurts." China whined.

"It doesn't matter." Hekatoid said, then looks towards the sky. "Fall my children!"

The tadpoles began to fall, freaking out Maddie as she clutched Nick's and Vida's arms. But suddenly the frog froze were frozen in mid fall.

"What? What happened?" Hekatoid asked.

"What did happen?" China asked, still standing by her father and Jenji.

"They froze." Daggeron answered.

"But how?" China asked. "Wait a minute, if those tadpoles froze, then that means." She trails off and gasps. "Nick! Udonna!" She trails off as her eyes land on the White Mystic Ranger, who walked up to them. "Udonna!"

"I thought you could use some snow power." Udonna smiled under her helmet as she approached Nick, Maddie, Chip, Xander and Vida who are standing on a ledge.

"Mom, you're back!" Nick beamed.

"Yes." She places a hand on his shoulder. "Come on. Let's do it."

"Gladly." Nick nods. He looks at his friends as he pulls out his morpher. "Ready?"

"Ready! LEGENDARY SOURCE, MYSTIC FORCE!" The Rangers morph.

"Ha! Hyah!"

"Ha! Furry Of Snow!" Udonna shouts. "White Mystic Ranger!"

"Mystic Lion Staff!" Nick shouts.

"Hyah!"

"Power Rangers Mystic Force!" The Rangers call.

"You won't stop me! I'm a Terror!" Hekatoid shouts, then sends sludge at them. The Rangers block the attack.

"Snow Staff, fire!" Udonna returns fire, sending her magic at Hekatoid, knocking him down.

"Yes!" China cheers, still standing next to her father.

"Rangers, lets combine our powers!" Udonna said.

"Code 2!" Nick calls. He, Maddie, Vida, Chip and Xander combine their Lion Staffs together.

"Ohhh! Wait!" Hekatiod begs.

"Legend Warriors, united formation!" The Rangers shout. "Fire!"

Their attack is blasts at Hekatoid, finally destroying him.

"Yes, well done." Udonna praised.

"Ha! Mystic Force!"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Outside of Rootcore, everyone is happy and cheerful. "Hey! Fire Heart!" Jenji greeted the dragon. "He's getting so big."

"Udonna!" The Rangers hug their Sorceress.

"I thought I'd never see you again." Nick told her.

"Everything happens for a reason, Bowen." Udonna smiled. "We just don't always know what that reason is." She then hugs her son.

"Udonna, we're so happy to have you home." China smiled as Keesha healed her arm.

"Yeah, we felt lost without you." Nick added.

"Udonna, you should've seen Nick, Vida and China when they got hit by a hatred spell!" Chip perks up.

"A hatred spell?" Udonna frowns. "I don't think I've ever come across one of those."

"It didn't last long." Nick told her. "The three of us couldn't stop arguing, and somehow we couldn't morph."

"Vida started it!" China exclaimed, pointing to the pink Ranger.

"Nick started it!" Vida in return, pointed at Nick.

"Not!"

"Oh boy, here we go again." Maddie sighed.

"Well, it does't matter." China said, folding her arms. "Udonna's safe and back home. While another Terror hit the history books."

Udonna turns to Culpepper, Ileana and Spencer. "I have the three of you to thank." She turns to Phineas. "And Phineas." She turns to Clare. "And my sweet niece." She hugged the blonde Sorceress.

"Ileana." China turns to her. "Is it true that you're the Master's daughter?"

Ileana shook her head. "No. Thank the ancients."

"Good." China nods, then shutters. "To think a monster like him can take a beautiful and romantic scene and." She trailed off, shuttering. "Ew."

"Yeah." Maddie also shuttered. "Thanks for that image."

"Sorry."
