"Mystic Star's costume party. All invited. Bring a costume." Lucy read. The rangers were hanging at the Mystic Star and Lucy just found a poster for a party that's going on.

"Mira, why are you throwing a costume party when it's not even close to Halloween?" Natsu asked.

"It's just a way of raising some publicity and a little extra cash for the place is all." Mirajane said. "You guys should come. It will be tons of fun."

"I don't know. A costume party seems a little dumb when we're not even in October." Gray said.

"I think it will be tons of fun." Erza said. "I say we all go. Of course, we're going to need to find our own costumes. Where are we going to find some on such short notice?"

"I still have my old Halloween costume from last year when I went to a party." Gajeel said.

"I'm sure we can create something for everyone. Mavis could even use a little magic to help us out." Mirajane said.

"This sounds like it will be tons of fun." Natsu said, but while they were planning for fun, evil was planning for disaster.

The Cube

Mard Geer heard about the Mystic Mode the rangers have gained as well as Jellal acquiring his new sword. He needed to come up with some plan that will eliminate the Power Rangers.

"There must be some way for us to defeat those colored fools." Mard Geer said.

"Let us not forget that they are just humans." Kyoka said. "Even humans have their limits. We just need to exploit them somehow."

"I believe I already have the answer." Keyes said as he came into the room. "Master Mard Geer, I think the answer is right here." He used his powers and formed a pumpkin.

"What is that? Some sort of giant orange?" Kyoka asked.

"How is a pumpkin suppose to help us?" Mard Geer questioned.

"I traveled around and found this." Keyes said. "It gave me an idea and I created this new monster. Come in, Pumpgore." A plant monster with vines for arms and had a pumpkin head came out.

"Heheh. How's it going?" Pumpgore said.

"Bleh!" Kyoka said as she plugged her nose. "You think you could at least get rid of the smell? Where are you even going with this?"

"Pumpgore can create special pumpkins." Keyes said. "The pumpkins can latch on a person's head and once they latch on, it will be difficult to get them off."

"I see. Even the rangers will have a hard time against them once they are ensnared." Mard Geer said. "This might actually work. Can you really place these pumpkins in?"

"They already are." Pumpgore said. "They're growing out much faster than any normal pumpkin and once their faces are formed, they'll be fully grown and ready to latch on anything."

"I've also sent tartaro soldiers to guard the pumpkins until they're ready." Keyes said.

"Excellent work, Keyes. Hopefully, the Power Rangers shall meet their end this time." Mard Geer said.

Mystic Star

"Come on, Natsu. Feel the burn." Gray said as Natsu was pounding around on a punching bag to get a workout in. While the boys were working out, the girls were helping were trying to find a costume for them all to wear.

"What if we all dressed up like queens?" Mirajane asked.

"I don't know. The dresses are a little uncomfortable." Lucy said. "What do you think, Erza, or do you want Jellal to be your knight in shining armor?"

"Actually, I think I'll dress as the knight. Where is Jellal anyway?" Erza asked.

"He found out about the party ahead of time and is putting his own costume together." Mirajane said.

…..

Jellal

Jellal was passing through the park. However, while he was on his way, he saw a whole bunch of plants coming out of the ground. He had a close look and saw they were all pumpkins and he didn't get what was going on.

"Where did all these pumpkins come from? They shouldn't even be in season." Jellal said. Jellal tried to get a closer look at them. Before he could do anything, some of tartaro soldiers appeared. "I should have known." He ran through the field and jumped over a patch. Just as one jumped and about to land on him, Jellal kicked it in the stomach and knocked it down. Two of them grabbed him by the arms and held him down. A third was going to attack, but Jellal used his legs and had its head in a scissor hold. He twisted his body and knocked it down. He used the strength in his arms and tossed the both of them to the ground. One tied a spear, but Jellal moved. He spun kicked once to move the weapon, twice to hit it against the chest, and third to the head to knock it down. Jellal jumped over a couple pumpkins and gave the last one a strong kick and knocked it down. "What's with these pumpkins?" He had a look around and saw one gain a face and it started moving. "Whoa! That's not normal. I better get the others." Jellal got the heck out of there to warn the others.

…

Mystic Star

All of them were just about finished with their business and ready to call it so they can get ready for the party. Just as they were about to leave, their morphers went off and signaled danger. All of them looked around to see if anyone was listening.

"What is it, Mavis?" Natsu asked.

"Rangers, get over here. There's something you need to see." Mavis said. All of them knew this was trouble and headed out.

…..

Rangers' Base

"We're here." Lucy said as all of them arrived at the place. Jellal and Mavis were already there and they looked trouble.

"What's the problem?" Gajeel asked.

"Look for yourself." Jellal said as he brought up an image of the pumpkins he saw on the computer and there seemed to be more of them with faces and moving.

"What's the big deal? They're just jack o'lanterns." Natsu said.

"Where did they even come from? They're not even suppose to be in season." Lucy said.

"They're not normal pumpkins." Jellal said. "I have a feeling this is another one of Mard Geer's doing."

"These pumpkins are dangerous." Mavis said. "They can latch on a person's head and can make it difficult for anyone to see or even breathe."

"Oh my gosh!" Lucy said as they all felt a little terrified by that.

"If that's true, we need to get rid of all of them before anyone gets near them." Gray said.

"The only way to get rid of them is to take down the etherious that created them." Mavis said. "I believe he would be somewhere in that pumpkin patch."

"Right. We better do it fast." Natsu said. All of them reached for their morphers and ready to jump into action.

"Magical Energy, Unleash!" All six of them morphed and teleported to the pumpkin patch.

…..

The Park

All of them teleported right in the pumpkin patch, but they were everywhere. Each pumpkin had a face and were wobbling around.

"Oh man. It's worse than how it was earlier. I'll have a look around." Jellal said as he went ahead.

"These things are all over the place." Gray said. "It doesn't seem like they can moved on their own. They're just turning around."

"Let's get a close look." Natsu said. All of them stepped closer to have a look at the pumpkins. They carefully lifted one for each of them.

"Oh man. These things are big." Gajeel said.

"They don't seem dangerous." Lucy said. "With all these openings in them, it's hard for anyone to suffocate from these things."

"There must be something about them." Natsu said. He was proven right as the pumpkins were able to jump on their heads and their openings closed up. "Hey! I can't get it off!" All of them tried to get the pumpkins off them, but they weren't budging and they were starting to freak out. Jellal heard them and he saw they were in trouble.

"Oh no! Hang on you guys!" Jellal said as he ran over to help them. "Hold still!" Jellal pulled out his sword and smashed it against them and careful not to hurt the rangers. "Are you guys okay?"

"Yeah. Let's not do that again." Natsu said.

"That wasn't nice. Why did you have to go and smash my pumpkins?" All of them looked and saw Pumpgore come out from hiding.

"I guess we found the real pumpkin head." Erza said.

"Name's Pumpgore. I thought you all looked better with those pumpkin heads. If you want to do this the hard way, so be it. Come on out boys." Tartaro soldiers appeared to aid Pumpgore.

"This guy has seeds instead of brains if he think I'm letting another one of those things get on my head." Lucy said.

"That's what you think. Get them!" Pumpgore said as they all went to attack.

"Let's show him guys." Natsu said.

"Mystic Mode!" The five rangers unlocked their mystic mode as each piece formed in stardust. All of them held out their weapons and went to attack. Each one of them struck down the soldiers and fought them off.

"You guys take that pumpkin. I'll take care of these guys." Jellal said.

"You got it." Natsu said as the other five of them went to Pumpgore while Jellal fought off all the soldiers.

"Those staffs of yours are a real problem." Pumpgore said. "Let's get them out of the way." He stretched out one of his vine tentacles and smacked the rangers' staffs out of their hands. "You rangers are all tied up." He stretched out his vines again and wrapped around all of them. Pumpgore caused some sort of power surge and all the rangers got hurt hard.

"What was that?" Gray said.

"Somehow he used our powers and created some sort of power surge." Erza said.

"We can't take another hit like that." Lucy said.

"I think it's time you got in with the style." Pumpgore said as he walked over to them and grabbed one of his pumpkins.

"No way is that going back on my head." Natsu said as he tried to resist with Pumpgore trying to get it on his head.

"Hang on guys!" Jellal said as he finished off the soldiers. Jellal jumped up and kicked Pumpgore back. He cut his sword through the vines and got them free.

"Yeow! That's smarts!" Pumpgore said.

"That's saying something considering your head must be empty." Jellal said as the other rangers got up and grabbed their staffs. "I'll hold him down. You guys get ready to finish him."

"I don't think so." Pumgore said as he stretched out his tentacles, but Jellal pushed through and got a hold of him.

"Let's do it guys. Let's combine our power and finish him off." Natsu said.

"Right!" All of them said as they built up power in their staffs. Jellal saw the power and had to get out of the way.

"Pasta la vista, vegetable freak." Jellal said as he tossed Pumpgore in the way.

"Elemental Blast!" All of the rangers thrusted their staffs and shot out a blast of their elements. The beams combined and blasted Pumpgore.

"I'm a pumpkin. Not squash." Pumpgore said and blew up. With him destroyed, all the pumpkins blew up as well.

"Wow! Looks like we got Halloween and the Fourth of July in one day." Jellal said.

"I should have known that when you disrupt nature, disorder will show no matter the result." All of them noticed Keyes arrived. "No matter. This plant will grow once more. Breath of demon and spirits of sake, make this minion reawake!" Keyes unleashed his power and Pumpgore revived and grew.

"Magic Zords!"

"Chariot-Zord, Arise!" All of them called upon their zords and formed the Magical Megazord and Grand Chariot Megazord. "Let's squash that pumpkin." Both of them marched right over to Pumpgore, but he didn't seem worried.

"Two heads aren't better than one." Pumpgore said as he lashed against both of them with his tentacles. Pumpgore wrapped his tentacles around both of them and caused that power surge again.

"I'm getting sick of this guy." Gajeel said.

"Me too." Jellal said. "Let's combine our zords. We'll be done with him a lot faster this way."

"Great idea. Let's do it." Erza said. Jellal detached his Megazord and had it combine with the Magical Megazord.

"Heavenly Magic Megazord!"

"All you did was give me a single target." Pumpgore said as he stretched out his tentacles again, but the Megazord deflected them with his sword. "Hey! Stop doing that!"

"Heaven's Sword Strike!" The Megazord made the magic circle and pierced through it. The circle fired the beam and blasted Pumpgore. He couldn't hold out against the attack as he dropped to the ground and was destroyed with the team gaining another win.

…

Mystic Star

With their latest win, the team was celebrating by partying at Mystic Star's costume party. Lucy was dressed like a princess and got a comfortable dress. Gray was dressed like a blue devil. Gajeel was a dark themed superhero. Erza actually dressed up like a knight. Natsu was a dragon. That left Mirajane as an attractive lady with demonic features like a pair of dark wings on the back.

"Great party, Mira." Lucy said.

"It is. Look, even Mavis came." Mirajane said as she pointed out to the dancefloor. Mavis was dressed like an actual fairy as she danced around on the dancefloor.

"Yay! This is so much fun! I just love a good party!" Mavis cheered.

"Excuse me." Natsu said. "Mind if this dragon whisk this queen away to the dancefloor." He was asking Lucy if she like to dance.

"You may." Lucy said as she took his hand and the two of them went out on the dancefloor.

"Don't they make such a cute couple?" Mirajane said.

"A beauty like Lucy with a dope like him? Yeah right." Gray said.

"Where's Jellal?" Gajeel asked.

"I'm not sure." Erza said. She felt something grabbed her shoulder and growled. Erza looked and saw Pumpgore came back. She grabbed his arm and tossed him over her.

"Whoa! Calm down!" He took off his head and showed it was just Jellal.

"Jellal! Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry. I thought he came back." Erza said and felt completely embarrassed.

"Sorry. I thought I try a little scare." Jellal said. All of them had fun at the party and had fun all night long.

…

The Cube

"Master Mard Geer, it was working. My plan almost succeeded." Keyes said. While the rangers were joyful, the etherious were upset.

They just got lucky." Tempester said.

"I have a plan that will take care of them." Kyoka said.

"Enough." Mard Geer said as he created vines and lashed against all of them. Mard Geer was fed up with failures. "I'll take care of the rangers personally."
