Jungle Mystics

by Maleficent-darkgoodwitch2416

On the way home from visiting Nick's adoptive parents, Udonna, Leanbow, and Nick learn that the latest incarnation of evil, Dai Shi wishes to destroy the Light. Will the combined forces of the Mystic Force team, including Clare, who has once again taken up the power of the Gatekeeper, and the Jungle Fury team be enough to stop Dai Shi and protect Nick?

5. The First Night

"It's late. Let's get some rest," Udonna ordered.

Most of the rangers swiftly went to bed, while Clare and Fireheart returned to Rootcore. "We'd stay, RJ," Clare admitted, "But I don't think anyone here would quite understand Fireheart."

"Mama," the dragon nudged Clare's shoulder.

RJ nodded. Udonna hugged her niece and said, "Well done, Clare. Niella would be proud of you today, and so am I."

Clare grinned.

Then Udonna glanced at her son, who was sitting on his bed, looking up at her and Leanbow expectantly.

"We're not going to leave you," Udonna murmured, hugging the teen.

"Ever?" Nick asked.

"Never," Leanbow joined his wife and son.

Nick nodded and Leanbow said, "We're a family again—and that's the way it's going to stay."

Nick nodded and slowly fell asleep.
