Sorry for not upping in a while. Real life is quite a drag. Sorry this also didn't go to a beta, I wanted to get this out, since I neglected this for ten days.

Thanks for all of the reviews!

Three days later:

Her liquid eyes were focused on him and only him. He took a step back and found himself cornered against a wall. Her arms were held out in front of her, as she got closer and closer. He looked around for a way to escape as she grabbed his neck and began to cut off his airway.

Bowen awoke with a gasp. The dreamed so real, but he couldn't see the girl's face. Sitting up he realized that he was laying on some sort of grey stone slab. Actually the whole room he was in was gray stone. But where was here? The last thing he remembered was fighting along side his friends, and then everything else was blue. He smiled to himself realizing for the first time that he has friends. The only thing he wanted at that moment was to find his friends and call them his friends.

He stretched out, causing his father's wedding ring to slide out from his shirt. He took it off and stared at it again.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" a female voice said from behind him, causing him to lose focus.

Quickly hiding the ring back under his shirt, and his hand going for his pocket where his morpher still surprisingly was, as he was beginning to think that whoever took him here had taken it from him. He turned around and saw a girl maybe a year or two younger than him, with long curly blonde hair, dressed all in black.

"My name is Bowen, and I was sort of hoping that you could tell me where here is.," he said responding her, mentally kicking himself, as he remembered one of his mother's lessons about never telling a stranger your name.

"Kind of depressing now, isn't it?" the girl responded.

Bowen just nodded, wondering who the girl was. The girl was now checking him out, staring at his clothes and looks.

"What are you doing?" Bowen asked, "You look like you've never seen another human before."

The girl smiled evilly at him, "I was just wondering why you look familiar to me that's all."

Bowen raised an eyebrow at her, "I look familiar to you?" he questioned.

"Yea, you do. You resemble Koragg when he's not wearing his armor," the girl said snobbishly.

Bowen held up his hands in a surrendering motion, uncannily echoing Xander from a day ago. "Whoa, I only just Koragg yesterday, and now your telling me I look like him? That's the craziest thing I've ever heard."

The girl folded her arms over her chest. "You know, you were a lot cuter when you were sleeping," she said.

"Leave me alone," Bowen said turning his back to her the best he could despite being on a stone slab.

"Fine then, be that way!" the girl sad nastily from behind him, and turned to leave the room, when she bumped into a Vampire Queen. "Mom!" she yelled.

"Leelee, didn't Koragg tell you to keep away from the boy?" Necrolai, her mother asked.

"Yes, Mom, but I want friends, and he's my age or close to it," Leelee responded.

Necrolai moved around her daughter, getting a glance from her to gaze into the room. The boy had his head turned away from her, so she couldn't see his face, but his hair definitely was Koragg's in his unmorphed form. Leelee pushed her from behind causing Necrolai to give a small gasp, as Leelee prevented her from falling. The boy turned around to look at her. If Necrolai would have had a human mouth it would have been wide open by now. The boy was a Koragg clone, which probably was why he was here.

"Who are you?" the boy asked.

"I am Necrolai, the queen of the vampires. You've already met my daughter, Leelee," she gesturing to Leelee as she moved to stand next to her mother.

Maybe they can help me get out of here. Bowen thought. "Can you tell me exactly where here is?" Bowen asked mother and daughter, "I'm not even sure where here is, or why I'm here."

Necrolai refused to answer. She began to turn around before her daughter slapped her on the back. "Oh mom, I'll tell him," she said to her mother turning around, "your in the Underworld. As for why you're here, Koragg brought you here."

Bowen gazed at her. This had to be one heck of a dream, a vampire queen having a human daughter, both living in the Underworld, and he thought his life was crazy.

"Look, you two might be happy here, but I'm not. Can you at least help me get out of here?"

Both mother and daughter looked at him.

Udonna paced back and forth behind the table. She was a nervous wreck. First Koragg shows up, then he kidnaps her son right from beneath her nose, and every spell she tried to get him back wouldn't work. Three days, its been three days, and she missed her son. Every day seemed like a whole year.

From their respective spots around the table, the four other rangers watched their mentor pace. The mood in the room was so solemn that if one were to break out into random laughter, no one would join in. For the past three days the four wouldn't go into work, they'd go home and then straight to Rootcore. It was okay with Toby though, as that he hired someone new. Clare was rummaging through the books on the shelf looking for a spell or something that would bring her cousin home. She sat down in Bowen's seat.

"Udonna, there's got to be something that we haven't tried yet, something we can do," Xander said, breaking the unheeded tension.

Udonna paused in her pacing, "Your right Xander, I was strong when I lost Leanbow, I need to be strong, I need to find my son."

Udonna walked to look behind Clare's shoulder when the crystal ball began to show dark energy. She ran over to the crystal ball, "It's Koragg!" she yelled.

"Let's go kick some butt!" Vida said, getting looks from her sister, Clare, and Udonna.

"I'm coming with you rangers," Udonna said, "I need to see this Knight Wolf for myself."

The four stood up, and held out their morphers. "Ready?" said Madison, surprisingly taking the lead.

"Ready!" the other three answered, keying in the spell code.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" they yelled together, and the by now familiar suit like costumes befell on them.

Udonna muttered a spell, and the five were quickly teleported to where Koragg, and a very ugly thing were standing in the middle of downtown Briarwood. It could only be described as a monster.

"Rangers, missing one I see," Koragg said upon noticing them, "and you brought with you the white sorceress, very good."

"Where's Bowen, Koragg?" she asked Koragg with the pleading of a desperate mother.

Before Koragg could answer, the monster, which looked like a giant toilet bowl with feet ran towards the rangers, causing them to go into battle. Koragg pulled out his sword and aimed it towards Udonna. He began to walk towards her as she walked backwards, hopefully straight, and not near the battle.

"What is with your son? Why does he seem so familiar to me?" Koragg asked her.

"He's the direct descendant of the Red Mystic Warrior, Leanbow," Udonna said calmly, well calmly enough for someone who has a sword practically at her throat.

"Leanbow?" said Koragg, as another vision with the red haired woman and the baby filled his head.

"I'm not going to fight you, today white sorceress," Koragg said disappearing into a spell seal.

"Hmmm," said Udonna, now seeing the strangeness behind Koragg.

She turned to where the rangers minus one were battling the Toilet bowl monster, they weren't winning, neither were they losing. She was beginning to think that this battle would never end, when all of the sudden a red spell circle appeared on the ground next to her, and a very familiar boy rose from the middle of it.

"Hi, Mom," Bowen said smiling at her.

"Bowen!" she cried grabbing him in a hug, "where were you? how did you?" Udonna said running her hand in comforting circles on Bowen's back, probably more for her benefit than for Bowen's.

"I'll explain everything later, Mom. I have to help my friends," he said pulling himself out her embrace. "Magical Source, Mystic Force!" he yelled morphing into the red ranger, and joining the battle.

"Bowen!" Chip said as he noticed that a fifth ranger had joined the party. He was about to ask how, but Bowen silenced him.

"I'll explain later, my friend!" Bowen said smiling behind his helmet.

Chip didn't have time to respond as he had a clear shot to the monster. "Yellow thunder!" he yelled, as he used his magistaff. It was a direct hit as the monster exploded into thin air.

"You did it!" Madison said excitedly, then noticing Bowen, "Bowen!"

Xander came up from behind him and put his hand on his shoulder, "You had us all worried there mate, your mother especially."

"I know, Xander, I'll explain everything when we get back to Rootcore," replied Bowen.

He turned towards his mother who was smiling at him, then with a wave of her hand she teleported away. Bowen was about to follow with the others when a crackling noise came from where the monster was destroyed. The monster had reformed and was now the size of a six-story building.

"No way!" yelled Vida, "we, well Chip, destroyed that thing!"

"We'll never beat it now, sis," said Madison, "what do we do?"

"We don't give up!" Chip said out of the blue, "that's for sure."

Bowen nodded. All of the sudden their morphers beeped. Xander opened up his there were three numbers that lit up in a sequence, 1-2-5, "Alright, our first spell code!" Xander said.

"Awesome!" said Vida, jumping up.

"I guess this is what Mom meant when she said in time," said Bowen with a small laugh. "Let's do this!" he said.

The rangers punched in 1-2-5 onto their morphers, and yelled, "Galwit Mysto Prifior."

All of the sudden the rangers were growing and gaining metallic armor. Something came to Bowen, the name of what they were. "I think were now the Mystic Titans," he said, his voice coming from the face of the red whatever he turned into.

"It doesn't matter what we are, we can now beat the giant toilet bowl," Xander, who somehow was the biggest said.

"Let's go!" Bowen said giving the command.

It took Vida and Chip a moment how to figure out how to move. It turns out that both could fly. Vida was the smallest, but looked like she could easily stand on Xander's shoulder. Chip had wings instead of arms, and Vida had wings on her back.

Bowen attacked first, and got a laugh from the monster as his attack didn't even faze him.

Xander attacked next, with an axe, which the monster moved away from, causing Xander to fall flat on his face. Madison laughed at that. Madison who realized that she could switch from having a mermaids tail to legs, attacked next, as she used her trident against it, the monster didn't even get a scratch. Xander got up and tried to attack the monster from behind but fell flat on his face again, this time knocking Chip over.

"Get off me, Xander!" Chip yelled.

"Guys!" Bowen yelled, as both Chip and Xander got up.

All of the sudden, Vida was struck with an epiphany. She realized that she could shape shift. "Xander, toss me!" she said, as she changed into a giant pink ball.

"Maddie, catch!" Xander screamed, as he threw the Vida-ball over to her sister.

"Chip, heads-up!" Madison called over to Chip, as she threw the ball over to him.

"Bowen, your up!" Chip said, throwing Vida in his direction.

Bowen kicked Vida towards the toilet-bowl monster, scoring a direct hit. Vida rolled back through the air, being caught by Xander as she turned back into the metallic fairy. She turned around just to see the monster explode for a second time.

"Is it gone for good?" Madison asked.

No one had an answer for her, as they stood there waiting for something that would never happen.

"I'm starved, I haven't eaten since yesterday!" Bowen said, as he began to shrink, and turned back into the red mystic ranger, "Power down!" he said as he appeared as himself.

"How did you do that?" Chip asked.

"I just imaged myself in my morphed form, and here I am!" Bowen yelled back up at them, hoping to be heard.

Vida hopped of Xander and onto the ground as she appeared as the pink mystic ranger, followed by Madison, Chip, and Xander.

"Power down!" they said in unison, and began to walk towards the forest.

Xander put his left arm around Bowen's shoulders as they walked, Chip did the same on Bowen's left, "So what is this about not eating since yesterday, mate?" Xander asked.

"I haven't eaten. Koragg took me to the Underworld," Bowen replied.

Xander stopped Bowen, and everyone else. He turned around towards Vida and Madison. Chip and Xander nodded towards Madison to take this one.

"Bowen you've been gone for three days," she said softly.

It took a few seconds for it to set in. "Three days?" he yelled shrugging off Chip and Xander, "I've been asleep for three days?"

Chip put his arm back on Bowen's shoulder. "Calm down, man. Your okay, that's all that matters, let's go get you some food."

When they finally got back to Rootcore, Udonna and Clare were waiting, sure enough with some sort of broth for Bowen on the table.

"Bowen!" Clare screeched as she ran to throw her arms around her cousin in a hug.

"Hi, Clare, can you let me go? I'm starved," he said dejectedly.

"Same old, Bowen," she said towards the Roccas, as she let go, and skipped towards her room.

Bowen sat down at his seat where the broth was. The others sat down at their places. Udonna came up from behind her son and put her hands gently on her son's shoulders.

"So, now, Bowen, where were you, and how did you escape?" his mother asked.

Leaving the spoon in the broth, he began to tell them about the Underworld, Necrolai, Leelee, and how he apparently was asleep for three days. leaving out the part about them saying how much he resembles Koragg.

"So let me get this straight, Bowen," Vida said, "Koragg brought you to the Underworld unconscious, and you were helped by a vampire queen and her human daughter, who told you that they can both leave the Underworld whenever they feel like it, although they didn't tell you how."

"Yup, you got it, pretty much, they didn't seem that evil" Bowen said, getting back to his soup.

"Bowen," his mother said, "is there anything else your not telling us?"

"No, mom!" he said raising his voice at his mother, he didn't want to tell her about what Leelee said to him.

Udonna let go of her son, she glanced at the electric clock that Bowen and Clare insisted that they have inside Rootcore, and saw that it was going to get dark soon.

"Why don't the rest of you head home, its been a long three days," she said slipping into concerned mother mode.

Chip was about to argue, but Madison yawned, ruining Chip's chanced on arguing.

"We'll see you soon," Xander said standing up, "I think we should go to work tomorrow."

"Xander!" Vida said, "remind me, I have to clean the turntables tomorrow."

Madison rolled her eyes at Chip causing him to grab Vida and Xander, and running out of Rootcore. Madison laughed at that. "We'll see you!" she said waving at them, as she left.

Bowen finished his broth, and stood up, startling his mother who was still behind him. He began to walk towards his room, but his mother grabbed him.

"Bowen, I know there's something your not telling me, and I want to know what it is now!" she said raising her voice.

Bowen rolled his eyes, pushing his mother off him. "Mom, I told you everything. I still feel faint, I'm going to bed. See you in the morning." He stormed off towards his room.

Udonna sunk into a chair. She was seeing a really weird side of her son that she hates to see, the Bowen where she knows that he's hiding something, but he won't tell until he's ready. She shook her head and went off to find Clare as she heard Bowen slam his door shut.

Bowen couldn't fall asleep just yet. What Leelee told him was echoing through his brain. He looks like Koragg, but his mother told him that he looks just like his father, Leanbow. Maybe Koragg was a long lost uncle or something. But deep down in the back of Bowen's mind he knew the truth, that Koragg and Leanbow were one in the same…
