Chapter 26: Mystic fate part 1

Chelbell2016:

Well second to last of the episodes. But I am going to go with my original plan. Leanne is going to discover that Daggeron is her father. Basically her mum is the person Bowen was left with when he was a baby. This will be based on one or two episodes and then Leanne starts to learn magic.

*Keeper of the powers*

Courtney's POV:

I am standing with dad on the balcony at rootcore. He wants us to train but I want to call it a day.

"I don't get why you want to do this," I tell him. "We've battled enough."

"We aren't battling," he tells me gently. "We're training. The master will be at his full power soon. We must be ready for him.

"My magic has never been stronger," I tell him referring to how much my powers are coming on. "You know that."

He transforms into his ancient mystic mode and raises his swords. "Convince me."

I sigh but go to my own ancient mystic mode. I pull out my sword and prepare to fight with him. I run forwards and we clash swords. I duck and flip when he goes to strike me twice. I roll across the ground and strike him which he blocks with his swords.

"The master is strong," dad says pushing me back. "You must be stronger."

I shove him away. I kick off of the bridge and aim for higher ground. I land on a rock just above my dad. I continue to try and get a shot in with no luck. I then continue to try and strike him while we walk across the bridge. Unfourtanetly he kicks me away from him and I stumble backwards. Dad grabs a vine and swings back to the balcony. I quickly run across the bridge and face him once more.

"Running away?" I ask raising my sword.

"You wish!" Dad says. "ANCIENT POWER OF THE PHOENIX!"

He jumps into the air and attempts to strike me. I raise a shield but the force knocks me to the ground. I de-morph from the impact.

Dad steps forward and drops out of ancient mystic mode.

"See?" Dad says and I groan. "You're not ready."

"Dad no offence," I say getting back to my feet and healing my injuries. "I have fought three big battles."

Dad nodded his head in thought. He hadn't been too happy about the fact that I had been a power ranger twice, or the fact that I considered another man my father.

"Can we train again tomorrow?" I ask. "Finals for this year are coming up. I need to study."

He nods his head and I thank him. I take off to study and I decide to phone dad as in Tommy. The phone rings three times before he answers.

T: Hello.

C: Hi dad.

T: Oh hi Courtney. How's everything?

C: Great. I just wanted to know if you wanted to come down and meet my other dad.

There's a slight pause.

T: I don't know. Won't it be a little awkward.

C: Not at all.

T: I'll let you know when I can make it. Got to go.

C: Ok bye.

The line goes off and I begin to think my dads green side is showing. At that moment I get a text off of Leanne.

Did dad tell you he's met someone.

My eyes widen and I wonder who she is. Before I can speculate further my morpher alerts me to trouble.

*Keeper of the powers*

I meet up with the others and we find that it is Itassis that we will be facing.

"Rangers!" he says as we arrive.

"You again," Xander says referring to the fact that he helped them to get to the sleeping lake.

"By order of the master I'm here to destroy your world," Itassis informs us.

"And we're here to stop you," Chip says before moving towards Itassis. "Lightning bolts!"

"Do not interfere!" Itassis says blocking his shots.

She blasts him back and I raise a shield as he goes flying. The shield stops him from getting seriously injured.

Maddie and Vida both try next and like Chip they have no success. Xander and Bowen also try with no luck. All of my friends are now down so I step in.

"I am one of the ten terrors," Itassis says. "Your magic is nothing compared to mine."

"I'll show you magic!" I say before clicking my fingers. "RED DRAGON FIRE RANGER!"

Fireheart appears and we combine once again. I catch my batons. Itassis shoots at me. I avoid them and fly towards him. He blocks me and I am now face to face with him.

"Impressive!" He says.

"Always!" I retort.

He kicks me and moves away. He then raises the weapon on his arm.

"Try this on for size!" He says before blasting me.

I lean back and catch the ball of fire aimed at me with my batons. I break it but it sends me skidding back and I land on my back. I groan as my body slowly heals.

"Now will you admit your defeat?" Itassis asks.

"No way!" Maddie states.

"Never!" Bowen agrees.

"You said you were only after knowledge," Maddie says to Itassis. "But you're just a puppet of the master."

"What?" Itassis demands.

"And you don't even have the courage to make your own decisions," I tell him.

He turns away from us says something and disappears.

I return to the balcony on rootcore to train. I have been coming up with new ways to harness my magic and my strength all into one. I take a deep breath. I wave the training swords in my hands in the way I want to. When I finish I am thinking about going to find dad to see what he thinks about it. I am hoping he will give me some credit.

All of a sudden I feel a dark presence and then a very unwanted face is staring at me. And then I know what I must do.

I must destroy the mystic force.

*Keeper of the powers*

I am walking over to the village where the destruction had taken place. The head elf spots me.

"You. She's back!" He says and the villagers begin to back away. "The destroyer has returned."

My friends, brother and parents all turn to see me. They are confused.

"Courtney," Chip says.

"Destroyer?" Leanbow questions the head elf. "No, you've got it wrong. That's my daughter."

I give him an evil smirk. "Like father, like daughter."

I show them through my mind what I did the village. "You guys missed out on all the fun."

"Athena.. is this true," Udonna asked me.

"Yeah!" I say to her but I don't take my eyes off of Leanbow. "And I'm just getting started."

I send a blast out of my hands. Everyone dodges it except for Leanbow. The blast hits the ground in front of him and I change into my new armour. The armour of the knight wolf Koragg. All the others look completely shocked as they look at me.

Leanbow looks like his worst dreams have come true.

"The masters dark magic has given me more power than I ever dreamed," I tell Leanbow. "I can't believe you gave it up!"

"Athena..." Leanbow says but I am not listening. "You have to fight this."

"I'm here to fight you!" I tell him.

I send a blast of purple energy at him and he morphs into the wolf warrior and stops the blast with his shield. I jump into the air and with my sword out I aim for Leanbow. I clast swords with him.

"The mystic force will fall by my sword," I say to him. "Starting with the mighty Leanbow."

I create a dark spell seal that takes us into rootcore. We land on a table which breaks and then we go rolling across the ground. I quickly get up.

"Training times over!" I state. "This is the real thing."

I throw my shield and kick it Leanbows way. He blocks it and I jump at him. I kick him in the ribs twice and then I knock him back. I throw him into one of the walls. I kick a bit of table at him and then he ducks and it hits the wall behind him. I strike him and he blocks it. The force knocks him into the Xenetone which goes flying backwards. I spin and aim a high kick to his head. He goes flying into the crystal ball.

He stumbles as he gets back to his feet. I laugh at his expense. I jump over the balcony and prepare to strike him. I kick him in the stomach and he hits where the mystic racers are. I strike the wall and then him. He cries out. He grabs me around the middle and I try to free myself from his hold. I force him into the entrance and he hits his back. We go through it creating more and more sparks as rootcore is being destroyed.

I force him back through so the entrance is completely destroyed. I throw him again.

"I'm through with you!" I say to Leanbow.

I blast the dragons head above the entrance and Leanbow just manages to avoid it. He runs at me and I bounce off of the balcony and hit him. Leanbow jumps on top so I blast it and he falls through. I jump at him again.

"Stop Athena!" Leanbow tells me.

I jump at him again and we continue to fight. A few minutes later and we are on the balcony. I knock him away from me.

"Now get up!" I order him.

I knock his shield out of his hand. Then I force him to release his sword.

"You're retired!" I say powering up our two swords. "I harness the power of the master! ATTACK!"

I jump at Leanbow and strike him on the shoulder making him groan. I go to strike him with his sword but he grabs it back off of me. I kick him and he goes flying off of the bridge. I pick up my shield and jump off of the balcony as well. As Leanbow falls I create another spell seal and we reappear in the destroyed village.

"There she is!" Vida says when she spots us.

As they all run forwards I create a dark shield that they wont be able to break through. Udonna, Bowen and the other rangers try to get through the shield but it isn't working.

"Courtney, please," Bowen says trying to stop me.

"Don't!" Xander says.

"This is the end!" I tell Leanbow.

"Courtney NO!" Bowen says.

Leanbow places his sword in the ground and forces himself back to his feet.

"You're right!" He says staring at me. "We've battled enough!"

I wont fight him without his sword. He then drops to civilian form.

"Pick up your sword!" I order him.

He gives me a look. A look a father would give.

"I wont fight you anymore," he informs me.

"Or perish..." I say.

The others are staring at us.

"I know you're in there daughter," he says to me. "I love you."

Something clicks. What am I doing?

"Dad!" I exclaim remembering who I am.

I cry out as the dark magic leaves my body and I am returned to my civilian form. I fall and dad catches me. He supports me as I squeeze him. Regretting all that I have done.

"I'm sorry dad," I say coughing, trying to catch my breath. "I couldn't help what I was doing. Now I understand what you went through."

I look at him and he smiles at me.

"I'm just glad you're back," he says.

I hug him more and he returns it.

*Keeper of the powers*

We return to rootcore and I am shocked at all the damage I caused. I am healing my dad feeling really guilty. I have been a ranger three times and I cannot believe that I let this evil take over me.

"You've trained my daughter well, Daggeron," dad says but I cant stand to look at him. "Maybe a little too well."

Daggeron shakes his head.

"It wasn't my training," Daggeron says as he clears the table that used to hold the crystal ball before glancing at me and smiling gently. "It was the power of the master. You know better than anyone how strong that is."

dad nods and I finish healing.

"And now that his plans failed, I'm afraid to what he'll do next," dad says.

A sudden gust of wind makes me gasp. Mum also gasps.

"Udonna, Athena," Daggeron says.

Me and mum share a look.

"Somethings happened," mum says placing a hand on dads shoulder.

"Something horrible," I say worried.

Dad glances at me but I still can't bring myself to look at him. I'm ashamed for my actions. A blue spell seal appears and then so does the snow prince.

"Help!" He says before falling to the ground.

"Snow prince!" Daggeron says as we all get to our feet and race over to the snow prince. "You're hurt!"

We help him to sit up and I begin to heal him.

"I'm here with terrible news," snow prince says. "The master has destroyed our realm. The magical source has been attacked."

"The mystic mother?" Mom says and I wonder who that is.

"Yes!" The snow prince says.

"Who's that?" Clare asks.

"The empress of all good magic," mom tells us. "Known as Rita in the dark days, she now uses her powers to fight all that is evil."

I cannot believe the woman who my dad fought is now good.

The snow prince explains how they were attacked and what happened up until he left.

"Her spell sent me back to your realm," he finishes explaining. "But there was nothing I could do to help her."

"If the mystic mother is gone..." mum says before pausing. "No one will be able to stop the master."

A few minutes later and dad, Daggeron and Bowen are preparing to leave. Bowen is going just in case something goes awry. I think they should take me with them.

"There's a chance the mystic mother might still be alive," dad says.

"Let me go with you," I say to my dad.

He smiles but shakes his head.

"No Daggeron, your brother and I will handle this," he tells me.

I sigh and mum steps forward to hug her son and then she turns to dad. She places her hand on his cheek.

"It seems like we're always saying goodbye," she says smiling at dad.

"I promise," dad says to her gently. "This time will be the last."

Dad then walks over to me.

"Courtney, I'm counting on you to take care of things while I'm gone," he tells me and I sigh.

"But I can help. This isn't the first time I've been a ranger," I inform him.

"You're needed more here," he tells me and Bowen gives me a small smile. "Understood."

Daggeron walks forwards and passes me his lamp.

"Keep an eye on Jenji," he tells me.

"Great I'm a cat sitter," I say in temper.

Dad just gives me a small smile and then Bowen hugs me before they take off.

"I'll never be as good as him, will I?" I say to mum.

Mum smiles and places a hand on my shoulder.

"You are not your father," she reminds me.

Then my morpher goes off. It's Xander.

"We've got big trouble in the city, Courtney," he tells me.

"On my way," I say.

I nod at my mum before taking off.

*Keeper of the powers*

I arrive at the city to see Black lance once more in his chariot.

"I will defeat you this time!" He says as we face him in the manticore megazord.

"We're ready, black lance!" I tell him.

We power up the legend striker.

"LEGEND STRIKER SPIN ATTACK!" We all yell.

We blast at him. It destroys his chariot but he is fine. He strikes us as he jumps through the flames. This makes us go stumbling backwards.

"You're not nearly as strong as your father!" Black lance informs me.

He strikes us three more times and we move back trying to get some distance. He throws one of his weapons at us and we cry out at the damage the megazord is taking.

"We can't take much more of this!" Vida points out.

Black lance goes spinning into the air and strikes right through our megazord. We are forced out of the cockpit and we groan as we land on the ground de-morphed and injured.

"Rangers!" Mum who is fighting Sculpin cries out when she sees us.

Sculpin attacks her once more and knocks her to the ground. He sends a blast at her and she de-morphs.

"UDONNA!" Vida calls.

"MUM!" I scream worried for my mother.

Sculpin laughs.

"At last!" He says. "Oh, how the mighty mystic force has fallen. There's no one to help you now."

He blasts at us but I hear a voice.

"No stop!" Jenji says appearing out of nowhere and taking the blast meant for us.

"Jenji!" Maddie cries.

He disappears before he hits the ground.

"NO!" Xander says.

We all look back as Sculpin makes a move towards mum.

"Come with me sorceress," he says and I fight to get to my feet. We all try to get to her. "Black lance, rid the surface world of these pesky rangers."

Before we can stop him he takes mum through a spell seal.

I fall to the ground where she had just disappeared.

"MUM!" I yell with tears in my eyes.

Black lance cackles a menacing sound.

"Your sorceress is gone," he says as I feel my anger rising. "And now it's your turn!"

He's going down!
