It was another day in Magnolia and things have been quiet lately. In Magnolia High, Lucy was walking down the halls of her school. She passed by a certain poster, but when she thought she saw something on it, she ran right back to it. She looked and saw it was a poster for "Power Rangers Appreciation Day". The poster had all five of the rangers on it.

"No way!" Lucy said as she was finding this unbelievable. Lucy ran to find the others. She made it outside and saw all of them were there. "You guys!" She called out as she ran to them.

"Lucy? Is something wrong?" Natsu asked.

"More like something amazing." Lucy said.

"What are you talking about?" Erza asked.

"Didn't you see the posters? The city is having a Power Rangers Appreciation Day." Lucy said and all of them amazed by this news. "I think it's there way of thanking us for all the good we've done."

"That's awesome! It's about time we get some recognition." Gajeel said.

"But they really don't have to go through all the trouble." Erza said. "We're happy to defend the city from Mard Geer and the other etherious."

"I know, but it still feels nice to be getting some sort of thank you at least." Gajeel said.

"So what exactly is the city going to do?" Gray asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, but after school, I say we all pay a visit to Mavis to see if there's something the Power Rangers can do." Lucy suggested and all of them agreed to the idea.

…..

Jellal

Jellal was coming up to the side of the school. He was about to head in, but he began to feel sick and lightheaded. He barely stood up straight and needed to lean against the wall.

"Not again." Jellal said as the mark on his face glowed and his body shifted and transformed himself into Mard Geer. Somehow, Mard Geer and Jellal were connected and both of them seemed to hate it. Mard Geer looked over to a light post and saw the same poster for the Power Rangers.

"What's this?" Mard Geer said. He went over to the poster and ripped it off. "Power Ranger Appreciation Day? I think not." He crumbled up the poster and tossed it away. He might have been annoyed, but he kept his smirk on his face. "We'll see if this city still appreciates the rangers when I get through with them."

The Cube

"Master, you've returned." Kyoka said as Mard Geer made it back to their lair.

"For now. Keyes, how is it coming with the separation of me and the human known as Jellal?" Mard Geer asked.

"I'm trying my liege, but this is not an easy task." Keyes said.

"Hurry up and figure something out. The fact that I'm stuck with a human in a body disgusts me." Mard Geer said. "In the meantime, it would see that the humans are throwing a celebration for the Power Rangers."

"What might that be?" Tempester asked.

"They're making an entire day one to appreciate the rangers." Mard Geer said.

"What?!" Tempester said.

"You've got to be kidding me." Kyoka said.

"I'm afraid not and the more the city supports them, the stronger the Power Rangers might become." Mard Geer said. "We need to disrupt that support and I believe I already have an idea. Keyes, can you create a monster that can create clones of the rangers?"

"I believe so. I would just need something like a mirror." Keyes said.

"A mirror? Just take mine." Kyoka said as she held one out.

"Thank you, Kyoka." Keyes said. Keyes tapped the mirror with his dark power transforming it. The mirror transformed into a silver warrior with mirror chest armor and a mirror sword. "Greetings, Reflectie."

"Nice to be here. So what do you need me for?" Reflectie said.

"Reflectie, can you create copies of the Power Rangers?" Mard Geer said.

"I can, but I need those who are willing to look like them." Reflectie said.

"Not a problem." Mard Geer said as he snapped his fingers and five tartaro soldiers appeared. "Here are your volunteers."

"You got it." Reflectie said as he shot out a beam from his sword and transformed the soldiers into copies of the rangers.

"We shall send these copies to bring havoc on the city." Mard Geer said. "The city will never trust the Power Rangers again and without trust, they'll have no power."

"You got it. Even the Power Rangers won't be able to tell who's who." Reflectie said.

…

Magnolia

The fake Power Rangers walked up on a roof and looked down on the people below. To the people, they all thought they were the real deal and were excited to see all of them.

"Attack!" Fake Natsu said as all of them jumped down. People came close to speak with them, but they were all beyond surprised when they saw Red Ranger pull out his weapon. "Surprise!" He shot flames at people and the others began to attack and terrorize innocent people and destroying the city. Reflectie came out of hiding and was enjoying the show.

"That's right." Relfectie said to the people. "Run all you like. The Power Rangers you know and love are no more!" So far Mard Geer's plan was working as the people were starting to lose faith in the Power Rangers.

…

Rangers' Base

"Power Ranger Appreciation Day! What a great way for the city to thank them for all the work they've done." Mavis said as she was all ecstatic. She already heard the news and was looking forward to this.

"They've certainly earned it." Mirajane said. Both of them were in high spirits, but Mavis saw her crystal ball glow. She looked and saw the team attacking people.

"Oh no." Mavis said.

"What's wrong?" Mira asked.

"See for yourself." Mavis said as she used her magic to show the images on the computers.

"What are they doing?" Mirajane asked.

"Those are not our rangers." Mavis said as she became serious. "I sense evil. This is obviously Mard Geer's handy work. Mirajane, try to get in contact with Natsu and the others." Mirajane got to work on that.

…

Magnolia High

The team was in the middle of class. All the students were taking notes and the teacher was doing her job. At that moment, a student's phone vibrated. He was careful not to let the teacher see, but he was so shocked he couldn't stay quiet.

"Hey! I just got news that the Power Rangers are attacking Magnolia." No one could believe that, especially the real rangers. "Turn on the news!" All of the students were demanding the same thing.

"Okay." The teacher said. She turned on the television and went right to the news with it showing what the student said.

"This is a dark day. It would seem that the Power Rangers have joined with the forces of evil. Have we misjudged them? Is fame going to their heads? Have they actually been fooling us the whole time?"

"What's going on?" Natsu whispered to the others.

"This is obviously Mard Geer's doing." Erza said.

"That's low even for him." Lucy said. All of them heard their morphers go off and needed to move into action. With everyone distracted with what they were seeing, the team managed to sneak out of the class and saw they were in clear to answer their morphers.

'Rangers, something's going on in the city. It would seem Mard Geer created copies of each of you.' Mirajane said.

"We saw. We're on it." Natsu said. All of them used their teleportation and headed off into action.

…

Magnolia

The fake rangers continued to attack innocent people. Fake Natsu had a bunch of people cornered and was about to strike at them, but that was when the real Natsu came in and kicked his copy back.

"Everyone, get out of here. Go!" Natsu said. All of them were confused, but ran anyway. Both teams of rangers faced off against each other with Reflectie staying out of sight.

"Not good. The real ones showed up." Reflectie said.

"What's with the fakes?" Gajeel asked.

"Doesn't matter. They can't beat the real thing." Natsu said. "Let's get them!"

"Yeah!" All agreed and went in the fight as each of their clones. Both Erzas pulled out their swords and had them clash against each other. The fake tried swinging at her, but Erza jumped over it. Lucy was fighting against her fake. She kicked her in the gut and held her arm behind her back.

"Erza, help!" Fake Lucy called and Erza thought it was really her.

"Lucy!" Erza called as she jumped in and kicked the real Lucy back. "Are you hurt?"

"No, but you're about to be." Fake Lucy said as she grabbed Erza in a headlock.

"Erza, turn around." Lucy said and Erza was able to. Lucy used her whip and lashed against the fake in the back and it turned back into soldier and fell.

"Uh-oh." Reflectie said as he was seeing trouble. Lucy ran over to help Erza.

"Are you okay?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah. Look out." Erza said as he fake jumped up to strike at both of them. Erza jumped up and slashed her fake down and it turned back into the soldier as well. "Hey! They're really tartaro soldiers. Did they honestly think these guys could beat us?"

"Well….kinda." Reflectie said. Gray was facing his own copy as the two of them were using their tridents. Gray was able to grab his fake's trident and pinned it with his and kicked him back. Gray swung his trident and his fake was taken down with it being changed back. Gajeel and his fake kept trying to hit each other. Gajeel grabbed his fake and tossed it over a railing. Gajeel jumped down with his club and smashed the fake with it being changed back.

"There's only one me." Gajeel said. That left Natsu with his fake. The fake grabbed Natsu and flipped him against the ground, but Natsu raised his fist and kicked him back. Natsu brought out his shooter and unleashed flames that blasted the fake down and it turned back. Reflectie came out and saw he was in a lot of trouble.

"This wasn't part of the plan." Reflectie said.

"Hey!" Natsu called out. He jumped up and tackled Reflectie down. Both of them got up and ready to fight. "I take it you're the one that caused this."

"What if I am?" Reflectie said.

"You got us to deal with." Gray said as he and the other rangers arrived to help Natsu.

"I don't think so." Reflectie said as he unleashed energy shots from his sword and knocked them all down. "Who says you can't beat originals?" Reflectie shot out an energy beam from his armor and blasted all of them and caused an explosion. Reflectie thought he won, but he was wrong. First, Gray and Gajeel jumped through the flames and hit him. The, the girls and kicked him back. The flames dispersed and Natsu was holding their weapons combined.

"Magic Cannon! This is the part where you say goodbye." Natsu said. "Fire!" Natsu unleashed the magic blast and blasted Reflectie with him being destroyed.

"Yeah!" The rangers cheered. They heard cheering and saw the people coming out and cheering for them.

"They must have saw what happened." Erza said. "I guess their faith in us has been restored."

"So it would seem." All of them looked and saw Keyes showed up.

"Where does he keep coming from?" Gajeel said.

"Our plan may not have worked, but you'll still fall." Keyes said. "Breath of demon and spirits of sake, make this minion reawake." Keyes unleashed his power and revived Reflectie as a giant.

"Magic Zords!" The rangers called for their zords and formed the Magic Megazord with it facing off against Reflectie.

"Even your Megazord has no chance against me." Reflectie said as he waved his sword like a wand and turned a building into a copy of the Megazord.

"No way!" Gajeel said.

"He can even copy our Megazord?" Lucy said.

"We'll take it down the same." Natsu said. They brought out the sword and charged at the clone. The clone did the same and attacked each other. The clone slashed against them and it had some serious power behind it.

"I'm getting in on this too." Reflectie said. Reflectie came at the real one and slashed against it as well.

"We can't fight both of them." Gray said.

"I've got an idea." Natsu said. The Megazord grabbed on the fake and pushed it behind some buildings for Reflectie to lose sight of.

"What's going on?" Reflectie said. One of the Megazords was pushed out and he thought that was the real one. "I've got you!" Reflectie shot out his energy beam and tore it apart, but it reverted into a building and was destroyed. "What?" He heard a noise and saw the real Megazord was right behind him.

"Magic Slash!" They built up magic power in the sword and slashed down against Reflectie.

"I guess you can't beat the original." Reflectie said as he collapsed and was destroyed. The rangers jumped out of their zords and people gathered around to thank the rangers. Mard Geer showed up through a flow of dark petals. He could feel himself changing back and changed into Jellal.

"Rangers, thank you and we're sorry for ever doubting you." The mayor said.

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Lucy said.

"Our enemy, Mard Geer, will do anything to destroy the city." Gajeel said.

"Either way, we'll do everything we can to stop him once and for all and help anyone." Natsu said. Everyone cheered for them for such dedication. Jellal heard them and he felt he was a threat to them as long as he was connected Mard Geer.

"If they find out Mard Geer and I are connected, I could be in trouble." Jellal said, but that fear turned to an idea. "They might also be the only ones that can help me."
