Chapter 7

"Enough!" Xander yelled as he stopped his magic forcefully. "You will not manipulate me any longer!" Xander's magic became unstable and the roots crumbled and Bridge and Chip stepped out of the rubble and headed to , confused of what is happening.

"What?! Impossible! How did he become free?" Derek questioned as he took a few steps back. Roots came in between the evil and good Rangers as they clashed and they looked over seeing that his magic was going out of control. "You can't hide forever! He needs your help! Come out!" Derek shouted not referring to anyone he could see.

"Xander! Calm down!" Nick yelled out to him, but was unsuccessful.

The Enemy felt that it was a good time to get another Green, so he turned his attention to Mike, who was for some reason not morphed, like the other Samurai's, with the others. He uses the same beam he used on the Wild Force Rangers and went directly to Mike. Seeing this, Emily jumps in front of Mike and the beam hits her. "Emily!" Mike goes over seeing she was badly hurt. Mike turned to the Enemy, standing up and started walking to him holding his Spin Sword firmly, but was stopped by Kevin.

"No, Mike. You could get hurt like her. Think before you act." Kevin said as Mike looked back at Emily.

Derek started laughing aloud, "Looks like the plan is working. Time for the next phase, see you next time Rangers." Derek, the Enemy and the evil Rangers disappeared as Xander and everyone else demorphed and he fell on his knees going on all fours gaining control of his body again.

The Mystic Force Rangers came over to him. He looked the ground unable to face at anyone, "I should have told you guys from the beginning. I'm an idiot!" He said hitting the ground.

"Yes, you are." Vida replied. "What exactly is going on? And Xander we want the whole story."

"I can't, if I tell you the plan everything will happen all over again. Except... with a different conclusion." Xander answered getting up.

"What do you mean 'everything'?" Bridge said using the quoting symbol with his fingers while walking over.

"I mean everything!" Xander looked away from them and continued. "The battle we just had. The Enemy first coming. The Operation Overdrive's fights. Even the beginning of the Power Rangers. And once that all happens, once the Rangers are all erased, the world will be completely covered in Darkness and it will rule the world."

"How will they know that you told us?" Theo asked.

"They'll know. They have their ways of finding out stuff. And like I said I can't tell you any detail of my mission until it's complete and I'll be free, and let's hope 'they' will be too. But what I don't get is why Derek and the Master keeps asking for them to come out." Xander explained. "I can't risk to hurt you guys any longer. I'm leaving." Xander started walking in the direction he was facing.

"Wait Xander, who's them? You aren't making any sense of what you are saying. How many secrets do you have exactly? Are you just doing this to fool us, again?!" Vida shouted out to him. "Okay go ahead, leave! See if we care because this isn't the Xander we know! The real Xander wouldn't give up even though his friends would abandon him for betraying them."

Xander stopped and turned around, "You don't know what I've been through, V! I've been lying to you guys since I came back from helping Operation. The Master took me to his lair and I was assigned to do a mission, a mission that only I could accomplish. And you expect me to stick around and wait until Derek comes back and takes control of me again!" Xander started walking away again.

"Yes, I expect you to stick around!"

"We expect you to stick around." Chip emphasized 'we' and took a step forward. "Look Xander, evil or not, we don't care. What matters is that you still have your will. Your will on being a Power Ranger. Don't forget that Once your a Ranger, Your always a Ranger." His walking speed slowed.

Vida continued, "When Derek comes back, we'll be ready to face whatever he throws at us. Plus, you already gained control of yourself, it's possible you can do it again. You will always find a way to break evil's spell, there's no such thing as impossible, as long as there is light in the world."

"But there will never be balance with only one of them existing. At the same time, it's good and bad to have light and evil walking along the Earth or in other's case their world." Bridge informed. Xander looked back and slightly walked back to them, listening in on what they had to say.

"We may be old school Rangers, but we still get the job done." Adam said.

"Rangers always stick together." Casey said.

"As long as we stick together, we'll be able to defeat evil. Even though some have been taken away." Trip said.

"We'll be able to get the other Rangers back." Eric said.

"Teamed up we're unstoppable." Dom said.

"With a good plan we'll be able to get all the Rangers back and possibly free you." Jayden said.

"There are four groups of Power Rangers that have not shown up yet. We could possibly get their help." Madison said.

"Go and call, we'll make up a plan while we wait." Xander said. Madison smiled and went to make the call.

"That's probably the longest it ever took to convince someone in anything." Vida said as Xander walked back. "You're so stubborn most of the time."

"Yea, well with what I'm dealing with it's understandable and since probably they can listen to whatever we just said. They are probably going to hear in on this. But let's just hope their mission is still the same as before."

A/N: Whoa! Next chapter, this is probably going to end in a few more chapters, so watch for the ending. Wonder what'll happen the next few Chapters, you can know by helping me out by giving me new ideas! I'm running out of ideas, so I'll need some help. This'll probably end in the next 4 chapters or so, but until then please review, rate, fave, follow, and continue reading. Again, I'm open to new ideas, so PM me or comment/review below.
