Chapter 11: Scaredy cat

Chelbell2016:

Ok so next chapter for you all. Hope you enjoy and please review.

*Keeper of the powers*

Courtney's POV:

I am in Rootcore studying for a midterm. Azantys is right next to me sleeping when I hear Clare's voice.

"Guys!" The voice said and I looked around at Bowen who was sat not too far from me. "Rangers! Bowen help!"

"Whats wrong?" Azantys asks through our connection.

"I don't know I will check it out don't worry Azantys."

Me and Bowen get up and race over to Clare. We arrive at the same time as the other guys, and see her standing watching the Fireheart egg.

"Come quickly," she says excitedly when she sees we are finally near her. "You've got to see this."

We all gather around the egg and Bowen looks curiously at his younger cousin.

After a few minutes of no action and complete silence I decide to speak up.

"Uh I don't..." I pause as Clare hushes me.

The egg suddenly moved and we were all shocked.

Clare grips Xander by the shirt. "See? See?"

She was going on about it moving as she shook Xander by his shirt.

"This is so great," Chip says. "I'm so excited. What does it mean?"

"It means it's gonna hatch," Vida points out.

"So," Maddie begins looking around at all of us. "Does anyone know how to hatch a dragon?"

I glance at the others but I know that they like me have no idea.

"Udonna will know," Chip suggests.

Clare getting a little angry now grabs Chip by the shirt.

"Udonna's not here," she says shaking him.

"Whoa Clare," Bowen says gripping his cousin and prying her away from the yellow ranger. "Let's not strangle Chip."

Maddie seems to think of something.

"I know where we can find Info," she says and she goes over to the bookshelf and grabs a very large book. "1001 things you want to know about dragons!"

We all nod knowing that this is our best hope to know what to do.

I walk over and she passes me the book. I look through it and find the right section.

"Ah here we are," I say to Maddie and the others. "Hatching dragons. To hatch a dragon egg set the egg upright and proceed to bludgeon it with sledgehammer until open."

My eyes widened and I frowned as I finished reading. That doesn't sound very safe for the dragon.

"Excellent," Vida says sounding happy with this idea. "I'll get the hammer."

Clare didn't feel the same way.

"Oh no you don't," she says covering the egg in a protective way.

At that moment a loud knocking is heard. I look around in confusion.

"Do we have a door?" I ask Bowen as we both walk towards it.

Vida, Bowen and I go outside to see Phineas with something wrapped around his head.

"It's only Phineas," Bowen says to us.

Phineas starts groaning and crying out as if he is in pain. I walk towards him.

"You all right?" I ask him.

"Do I look like I'm all right?" He asks sounding a little annoyed that I asked. "Do I ever come and knock on your dragon-nose thing? Do I ever wear a rather unflattering bandage around my head? Do I ever have a throbbing, pulsating, excruciating pain echoing throughout my mouth? Do I ever ask four questions in a row? Well five if you count this one."

Vida, Bowen and I look at him sympathetically.

"You have a toothache?" Vida realises and Phineas looks back at us.

"Aha bingo!" He tells her. "Can someone please help me before my head explodes?"

I glance at Bowen and then look back at Phineas. I step forward towards him.

"Wait, wait, wait," I say preparing to look into his mouth. "Let me see that? Say ahhh."

he does as I say and I wave my hand in front of my face trying to get rid of the smell. I cannot really see anything.

"Aren't there dentists in the woods?" I ask him.

"Yes no uh," he pauses looking a little unsure. "What's a dentist?"

Vida goes to touch him but he jumps. "Who you go to when you tooth hurts," she explains to him.

He looks a little unsure.

"Well uh, ooh," he realises something. "There's the boulder roller. Yeah, he's this little gnome, ad he ties one end of a vine to your bad tooth and then the other to a five-hundred pound boulder. Hence the title 'boulder roller'."

Me and Vida share a look with Bowen.

"He then uh rolls the boulder over a cliff," Phineas finishes his explanation. "Voila! Bad tooth removed! Or you know you go over the cliff with the boulder. Either way the pain is gone."

I have a sudden urge to hold my tooth as I grimace at the thought. I see similar looks on the other twos face as Phineas cries out in pain again.

"We got to get him to a dentist," Vida points out to me and Bowen.

"And fast," Bowen agrees.

*Keeper of the powers*

All of us except for Clare who was at Rootcore agreed to escort Phineas to a dentist. We have given him a hat, long coat and sunglasses to make him look a little more acceptable to humans. He was looking around him in awe at all the sights of the city.

"It's all so tall and shiny," he says to us. Both Vida and Maddie have to pull him back as he is nearly hit by a car for trying to just walk across the road.

"You can't just go stepping off the curb in front of cars," Xander tells him.

Phineas hugs and thanks Xander and me and Bowen once again share a look.

"I didn't know," he tells the green ranger. "New in town and all. Yeah!"

Another car passes by and he begins to imitate it.

"I don't think this is going to work," Bowen says.

"I hope it does," I tell him sighing.

Phineas laughs. "Wow lots of these car things," he says. "OOH can you eat them?"

We all protest and grab him before he can do anything.

"Help me!" We hear a voice say. "Got to find a power ranger!"

I look around to see Leelee. We push Phineas in-between us.

"Monsters!" LeeLee continues when she is closer. "Beach! Cave!"

"What?" Maddie asks.

"Hey LeeLee, LeeLee," I say stepping forwards to quite her down. "We don't know where the power rangers are. Why don't you look on the other side of town, and we'll look around here?"

I wink at my friends who all nod.

"You can never find those costume freaks when you need them," LeeLee says grumpily and then storms off.

"Ooh pushy," Phineas says watching the retreating young girl. "I like that."

Vida looks livid. "Who's she calling a costume freak?"

She punches her hand in a threatening manner.

"Sounds like there's trouble at the beach cave," Chip says patting Vida on the shoulder.

"I wonder why the crystal ball didn't pick it up?" Bowen wonders out loud.

Phineas spoke up from behind us. "Hi, uh, over here. Remember me? The one with the tooth."

"Oh right," Maddie says smiling a little. "Someone should stay behind and take him to the dentist."

"Any volunteers?" Bowen asks.

We all look around not really wanting to be the one not at the battle.

"No don't all jump at once," Phineas says sarcastically.

"Come on one of us has to stay," Xander says clearly indicating that he wont.

"Hey guys," A voice says behind us.

We all look around and see Toby.

Xander brightens up immediately. "Then again maybe not."

We convince Toby on a story about Phineas being Xanders uncle. Then we take off for the beach.

"There it is," I say when we arrive at the cave and see some hidiacs. We are morphed and Nick is in warrior mode.

"There's a few hidiacs," Xander pointed out.

This confused me there wasn't much danger.

"Hardly what I'd call a global alert," Chip says.

The hidiacs come running at us.

"Let's get em," I say.

We run forwards and begin to fight. I begin to punch and kick the ones that have gathered around me. I kick one and flip to kick another that was sneaking up on me.

"Good job," I tell the other rangers and Bowen. "Let's check out that cave!"

We run through and I stop when I notice that I cannot see a thing.

"Everybody stop," I yell to the others. "I can't see where I'm going."

"Will this help?" Chip asks. "Magi staff!"

His staff glows yellow and we can now see everything around us.

"Chip you are a..." Maddie suddenly cuts off and screams. "Frog ugh! Get him off of me."

She kept telling us to get the amphibian off if her. She then tripped over a rock and knocked herself, Xander and I over. The other three approached and Bowen pulled me to my feet.

"You can't be afraid of a little frog," Bowen says to her.

"I'm not afraid," Maddie replies but her actions give her away. "I'm petrified. Ugly, slimy frogs."

Vida takes a look around.

"Speaking of ugly," she says to me. "What's that?"

We all turn to see what she means. We see an ugly mummy looking statue.

"What?" Xander says and walks towards it. "Looks like a mummy!"

Bowen then calls out.

"Hey, hey over here," He yells and I begin to walk over to him. "There's something else."

"What is it?" Maddie asks and I see that Bowen is bent over some sort of lamp.

"It's a lamp with the mystic force crest on it," Bowen says and I now notice what he is pointing at. "I'm sure I've seen it from somewhere before. A lost treasure and now it's ours."

He picked it up and it glowed. Then the ground beneath our feet glows and begins to shake.

"Everybody hang on!" I tell my team.

"Not another earthquake," Maddie says remembering the one that released the evil beings that we fight today.

And then as sudden as it began, it stopped.

"The shaking stopped," Vida points out.

"Yeah," I say to her. "That was really weird."

"And what was that large bang?" Bowen says talking about a big noise we heard right before the shaking stopped.

"I know the answer to your question," A voice says behind us and we see Necrolai and drop into fighting stances. "That was you destroying the force field that kept me out of here. Now give me what I came for!"

"No!" I say taking the lamp from Bowen and holding it protectively. "You're not getting this lamp."

"I'm not?" Necrolai questions and begins to run at us.

The others all move out of the way except for Bowen who stands in front of me protectively. Necrolai throws him out of the way and then gets really close to me.

"You can keep your lamp," She tells me and then she throws me across the cave. The others gather around me. "I want this."

She had picked up the mummy statue. She blasts the others and they hit the ground beside me.

"Where is she?" I say as I look up and she is gone.

"She's gone," Xander says in anger.

"And she took the mummy," Maddie added.

"I got a bad feeling we'll see that thing again," Vida says.

"Yeah maybe," I say walking over to Bowen and handing him the lamp. "But at least she didn't get the lamp."

*Keeper of the powers*

I have flamed us all back to Rootcore and Bowen cannot take his eyes off of the lamp. He told me before we came back that he is sure he has seen this lamp before.

"Yep," Maddie said as we all stood around the lamp. "It's definitely the mystic symbol on it."

Bowen grabs the cloth we had been using to clean it a little. "Maybe there's more writing."

He begins to rub the lamp. He then blows on it and we all gasp. It was shaking. It continues to shake and then the lid pops off as some sort of being pops out of it in a puff of smoke.

The creature appears fully not too far away and I see that it is a cat.

"I'm the great Genie Jenji," the creature says and our eyes all widen. "I grant you one wish."

"Genie?" Xander questions shocked.

"Got a problem with that?" Jenji says raising his fists in a threatening manner.

"Well no, no," Xander says also raising his fists.

"Good," the cat says lowering his hands. "I hate violence."

"Scaredy cat," I mutter.

"Now here's the rules," he continues. "You're the master. I'm the genie. You get one wish... can't hurt anyone with it. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

"A real live genie," Chip says impressed. "Always wanted one of those."

We all chuckle.

"One wish," Jenji says holding his finger up for emphasis. "Don't take all day. Got a lot of other things to do, like sit in a cave for another 19 years."

We all smile.

"Are you blaming us?" Vida says to him.

"Oh so now it's blame the big cat," Jenji said and I wanted to laugh again.

"So one wish right?" Xander says wanting to make sure.

Jenji confirms and then begins to list the possibilities.

"A-Z anything your heart desires," he finally finished after taking a deep breath.

"I know," Chip says and we all try to stop him before he ruins our wish. "With just one wish, I wish for 10 wishes for each of us."

We all nodded.

"Granted!" Jenji says and the others all cheer. "Like nobody's ever asked for that before."

I had a feeling the others were about to learn to not trust Genies.

"I wish for 100 diamonds!" Xander exclaims holding his hands out for the diamonds.

"You haven't washed your hands in a while have you?" Jenji says looking close up at Xanders hands.

We all watched and waited for the diamonds.

"Nothing happened," Xander complains.

"Of course not, you only had one wish," Jenji explains. "Carrot top wished for 10 wishes for each of you. I granted that, thereby and henceforth nullifying any further wishes. Hey it's in the genie contract."

Clare comes in with the Fireheart egg. She is cradling it like a baby.

"Ooh is that a dragons egg?" Jenji says spotting Clare. "Cause I'm hungry?"

"Yes it is," Clare confirms turning.

"Can someone say omelette?" Jenji says.

Clare looks a little shocked at our house guest.

"Does you-know-who know that you bought home a strange cat?" She asks referring to Udonna.

"Don't worry," Bowen says to his cousin sounding annoyed. "I don't think we're gonna keep it."

"It's about to hatch. Better keep it warm. Someone sit on it," Jenji says and I know who will be the one sitting on it. "It's uncomfortable, but it's the only way."

Clare sighs and glances down at the egg. "Oh boy!"

A minute or two later and Clare has situated herself and is sitting on the egg.

"Good, good," Jenji says circling Clare. "Now the important thing is You can't get off the egg till it hatches, okay?"

We were all smiling at how strange Clare looked sitting in an egg that is way too big for her.

"How long will that take?" Clare asks the genie.

"Well," Jenji begins to tell her. "A few minutes, a couple of day, sometimes a month. Anything up to 30 or 40 years!"

We all laugh and Clare looks distraught.

"Just kidding," Jenji tells her and then the crystal ball chimes. "Ooh more eggs."

I walk over to the ball with the others close behind.

"Evil doesn't sleep," I say pulling out my morpher and I see Bowen going for his ring. "We have to go."

Jenji watches as we prepared to leave.

"Okay well have fun, play safe," he said and I wasn't prepared to let him get away that easily. "I'll be gone by the time you get back. Bye."

"Oh no you don't," I say walking back towards the genie. "You owe us wishes.

"What about the contract?" Jenji asks.

"Back in the lamp," I order him. "You're coming with us."

"Fine, but you should know when it comes to fighting..." a pop and a puff of smoke later and he shrinks and goes in side of the lamp. He pops his tiny head out. "I'm just a kitten."

I begin to walk towards the others when the lamp begins to drag me the other way. Jenji starts spouting nonsense about leaving things behind. Bowen walks over and helps me to drag the lamp. We struggle so I deicide to flame us to the place instead.

*Keeper of the powers*

"Over there!" Xander says pointing to the black mass and lightning that the crystal ball alerted us to.

I am still trying to get control of the lamp in my hand.

I hear the others talking as me and Bowen finally reach them.

"Okay, well this was fun," I look down to see Jenji with his head popping up. "What say we run home, grab a pillow, get under the covers, and hide?"

We all watch the black smoke and I feel a little worried about how much evil I am sensing.

"At last the power rangers," a voice says from inside the smoke. A guy wrapped in bandages like a mummy, with red eyes and holding a fan appears. "Let me introduce myself. I am the destroyer of your world. I am Imperious, dark wizard of the underworld."

"Don't call yourself a wizard," I tell Imperious stepping forward. "Wizards use their magic to help people."

"Your witch, Udonna, has misled you red witch," he replies. "Magic is for fulfilling all your own desires. Come to my world and learn what real power is."

"Thanks for the invite," I say sarcastically. "But not a chance!"

Imperious didn't say anything but raised his fan and shot at us with it. We are all hit and we land on the ground. Imperious laughs evilly.

"I just remembered," Bowen says grabbing the lamp off of me. "We've got a genie in here who owes us some wishes. I'll rub it and get Jenji to help us."

I rolled my eyes knowing that Jenji wouldn't do that willingly.

"Sorry I've just granted my own wish... to leave," Jenji said and he jumped out of the hands of Bowen.

"Some genie you are," I said. "Fine I'll do it myself."

I pull out my magi-staff and run towards Imperious. I go to strike him and he disappears. I glance around as I can still hear him laughing.

"Where'd he go?" I ask turning to Bowen who was coming from another direction to fire at Imperious.

"A better question," a voice says from behind me and I hear Bowen yell my name. "Where are you?"

He blasts me with purple energy. I don't have time to raise a shield and I go flying and hit the ground hard.

Xander takes his turn next.

"Now you're going to have to deal with Xander," he tells the mummy. "Magi-staff vine power!"

He sends vines at Imperious.

"You got me! Help me!" Imperious says.

"Got ya!" Xander says glad.

"MAJURA!" Imperious says a spell that destroys the vines.

"Oh no!" Xander cries.

He sends his vines at Xander and said green ranger cannot move at all.

"You should be doing your magic at children's parties," Imperious says.

Maddie, Vida and Chip took a turn and before Bowen could I looked to him and he nodded.

"That's it!" I say and Bowen sends his fox fire at me and I power up my own flames and shoot up into the sky. "Power of the phoenix!"

I go flying towards Imperious but he stops me as I am about to strike him. He strikes me and I go flying. Bowen runs over and I heal myself and get back to my feet.

"I was misled into thinking that you would be a more powerful adversary," Imperious taunts. "Udonna has not chosen wisely."

"Don't talk about her like that!" Bowen snarled.

"The kitsune warrior and Udonna's son," Imperious says looking Bowen up and down. "Your not much like your parents are you?"

Bowen growled and ran at Imperious. When he gets close enough they begin to fight. I run forward to help. I raise my staff and Bowen hi spear and we go to strike. Unfourtanetly at the last minute Imperious disappears and we end up striking each other instead. Me and Bowen both cry out.

"Are you guys all right?" Xander says as the others join us.

"Now I will show you real power!" Imperious says and a dark seal appears beneath his feet and he grows to an enormous size.

"Oh yeah?!" I say getting to my feet. "well We've got a few tricks to."

I pull out my morpher and so do the others. We go into titan mode and form the megazord.

When we look at Imperious we see that he is giant compared to us.

"Pathetic," Imperious taunts and he kicks us sending us flying.

When we land I feel my anger levels rising.

"Come on!" I say and we pull out our sabre.

We shoot a beam into the sky and a spell seal appears. We take flight and we are about to go through it.

"Oh look!" Imperious says sounding bored. "A flea!"

He bats us away as if we were a flea.

We all cry out.

"I am growing bored with this annoyance," Imperious says glaring down at us.

He throws lighting at us and we groan from our cockpit.

"We're not down yet!" I inform Imperious.

"TITAN MEGAZORD FULL POWER!" We all yell .

We jump into the air again.

"It's time to end this!" Imperious says.

I am shocked when Jenji grows.

"Jenji!" I call.

He becomes the same size as Imperious.

"What's this?" Imperious says.

"All right," Jenji says speaking to the evil being in front of him. "Who's your daddy now, mummy?"

He puts his hands together and we hide in between them.

"What's in my hands?" He asked.

"Foolish cat!" Imperious says angrily.

"Wrong power rangers!" Jenji replies releasing is and we are now level enough to fight Imperious.

We strike him across the face and he goes stumbling back.

"You were lucky!" Imperious says. "Take this!"

He raises his fan at us but nothing happens except for the mummy being electrocuted.

"Take what?" Jenji mocks.

Imperious holds his arm. "My magic is still weak from my time in the cave," he realises. "I need to recharge. My apologies for not destroying you as promised, but I will. LUUTHAR!"

He disappears.

"Yeah well your a bigger Luuthar!" Jenji says as he goes. "Peace out mummy."

We all cheer as we head back to Rootcore.

We are at Rootcore waiting to show Jenji to Udonna.

Me and Bowen are pushing her out.

"Can't you just tell me the surprise?" Udonna says as she is covering her eyes.

"No!" I say as the others stand waiting with the genie. "Now keep your eyes closed until we say you can open them."

"All right!" Maddie says as the others lead Jenji forward. "We hope you like pes because we have a new cat."

We tell her to open her eyes. She smiles widely when she sees said cat.

"It's me I'm the cat!" He tells her as we all laugh.

"Jenji!" She says sounding surprised but happy.

They embrace each other.

"Udonna you haven't changed a day," Jenji says.

"I think we can keep him," Xander says from around the other two.

We all nod laughing.

"I've missed you so much," Udonna says when she finally lets go of Jenji. "Where have you been?"

"Well let me t-" Jenji begins but is cut off by Udonna.

"Daggeron..." she says and Bowens eyes widen hearing that name. "Athena... do you know where Athena is?"

Bowen now looks upset. When he sees me looking he shakes his head pleading with me not to ask.

"No you see..." Jenji says clearly uncomfortable.

Before he can continue another voice is heard.

"Somebody help me!" It was Clare's and we al rush into Rootcore. "It's gonna hatch!"

We get there and Clare is thrown off of the egg which is convulsing madly.

Maddie and Vida catch her and we all look towards the egg as it starts to crack. A metallic baby dragon is shown.

Azantys walks over.

"You should be able to communicate with him young one!" He tells me.

I try to open my mind to Fireheart as Clare goes wide eyed when he calls out 'Mama' to her.

"Fireheart? Can you hear me?"

"Where am I? Who is talking?"

"I am the girl in the black and red uniform! I can speak to magical creatures such as yourself. You are safe here, no one will hurt you!"

"Ok but I am hungry!"

"I will get you some food."

I look around at my friends and explain to them at their confused faces. I then tell Clare she needs to feed him and go to finish my coursework.
