Chapter 5

The Legend Revealed

An older lady who looked like she was in her 70s walked up to the two teams. She was wearing a Victorian style dress, and eyeglasses.

"Who are you?" Jason demanded.

The Winx Club started laughing at the rangers' reaction.

"That's Ms. Faragonda," Bloom said, giggling. "The headmistress at Alfea, and our mentor."

"How'd you get in here?" Jason asked, still a little suspicious.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Ms. Faragonda held up a Power Coin!

"Unfortunately, I can't morph with it," she said. "But it's a perfect key so I can visit my old friend, Zordon."

"You know Zordon?" Stella asked, surprised.

"Ms. Faragonda and I have been friends for a long time," Zordon said.

Ms. Faragonda approached the rangers.

"I've heard so much about you five from the Winx Club and from Zordon, I feel as if I already know each of you."

Then she noticed Tommy.

"A new recruit, eh, Zordon?" she asked.

The rangers explained how Tommy had been under Rita's control and how Jason had saved him.

"It is good to see you again, Ms. Faragonda," Zordon said. "But I have a feeling that this is not a social call."

"I'm afraid you're right, old friend," Ms. Faragonda said. "I was searching for a book of legends in the library at Alfea, and noticed one was missing. The one with the Power Dragon legend. Fearing the worst, I came to warn Zordon. Turns out, my suspicion was confirmed. The Trix are indeed after the Power Dragon."

"So," Stella said. "WHAT IS THE POWER DRAGON?!!!!!!!"

Musa slapped herself in the forehead and shook her head at Stella's outburst.

"The Power Dragon," Ms. Faragonda calmly replied (despite Stella's loud question). "Is related to both teams here. Rangers, how much has Zordon told you about how Rita was sealed away?"

"Only that another team of rangers were responsible," Jason replied.

"What Zordon didn't tell you," Ms. Faragonda said. "Is that the rangers had assistance from a team of fairies from the Magical Dimension. One of the faries, like you, Bloom, had the power of the Dragon Flame. Both teams fought hard. But no matter how many times they defeated Rita, she would try again, becoming more and more powerful each time. In the end, the only way to stop Rita was to combine the Power Coins and the Dragon Flame together into an even more powerful power source, called the Power Dragon. And with its power, the two teams sealed away Rita."

"Then why don't we just form the Power Dragon again, stop the Trix, and seal away Rita again while we're at it."

"The reason I never told you the whole story," Zordon said. "Was because the Power Dragon was so powerful that it was agreed to never be used again, except in the most dire of circumstances. The only reason it was formed to begin with, was that Rita would've destroyed all the known world if she hadn't been stopped. Now that you know the whole story, rangers, you must promise me not to use the Power Dragon except I tell you to."

"We promise, Zordon," Jason said. "And we also promise to do whatever it takes to stop the Trix from getting it."
