It was the dead of night out in Magnolia, but evil never sleeps. Mard Geer decided to take care of the Power Rangers himself as he walked through the city.
"I think it's time I bring something truly beautiful in this disgusting city of vermin." Mard Geer said. "Even the Power Rangers won't be able to stop this." Mard Geer used his power and caused something to grow out of the ground. "It is the end of the world."

The Next Morning
Natsu was on his way to school. While he was walking, he looked over the picture of him and his brother. He's been in town for a while and he's made no progress on where his brother might be.
"Natsu!" Natsu looked behind him and saw Lucy was running up to him.
"Hey!" Natsu said.
"Are you excited? There's an eclipse that's coming today." Lucy said.
"It does sound pretty cool." Natsu said. Lucy looked and saw he had the picture out.
"Still thinking about your brother?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah. I know he's out there, but I don't have a clue." Natsu said. "I thought being a ranger would help get some payback on Mard Geer and help find answers on where he is. So far I have nothing. Yeah, I might have stopped Mard Geer's schemes, but he's still out there and I have no clue as to where Zeref might be."
"I'm sure you'll find something." Lucy said. "Listen, if you ever want to talk about it, just know I'm here for you." That did make Natsu felt a lot better. He didn't know what it was, but he always felt better around Lucy. "Whoa! What is that?" They both looked ahead and saw a giant flower in the city and it looked as big as a skyscraper.
"A giant flower?" Natsu said.
"Where did it come from?" Lucy wondered.
"Guys!" Natsu and Lucy look and saw the others running up to them and they all noticed the flower too.
"You guys see the giant weed too, right?" Gajeel said.
"How could we not?" Lucy said.
"No way is this good." Jellal said. "It must have grown in the middle of the night, but what could it be for?"
"What's going on?" Erza said. All of them were wondering that until they heard their morphers go off.
'Rangers, you see the giant flower in the city?' Mirajane said.
"Hard to miss." Gray said.
'We've detected another and it's currently growing.' Mavis said. 'Head over to the mountains and figure out what's going on.'
"You heard the girl. We better get moving." Natsu said as all of them made a run for it to figure out what was happening.
…
The Mountains
All six of them hurried to the mountains. When they arrived, they saw the giant flower growing out of the ground. They stood on the edge of a cliff and saw it right there and fully grown out.
"What's with these flowers?" Gray said.
"Look around. There might be something here that gives us a clue." Jellal said.
"Rangers, so nice of you to join me." All of them looked own and saw Mard Geer come out from behind the stem.
"Mard Geer! We should have known you were behind this." Natsu said. "What are you doing here?"
"I've decided to take action myself. It's something I should have done in the beginning, destroy you myself." Mard Geer said. "You like my lovely flower. I have quite the knack for gardening don't you think?"
"Who cares? This time, I'm not letting you escape." Natsu said. "Are you guys ready?"
"Ready!" All of them said as they reached for their morphers.
"Magical Energy, Unleash!" All six of them morphed and jumped down to face Mard Geer. If they can bring Mard Geer down, this all might come to an end.
"I should have done this in the beginning." Mard Geer said. "You have no idea what you're up against. Behold my true power and my true etherious form!" Mard Geer had power form around his body changed. His skin became darker, his body grew bigger, and he grew horns with wings and claws with a few feathers. "Now you see me for who I truly am."
"And I thought he looked creepy before." Lucy said.
"It doesn't matter what he looks like. We'll take him down like all the others." Natsu said.
"Watch closely rangers. This is the form that will destroy all of you." Mard Geer said. Mard Geer flapped his wings and flew towards the rangers with him slashing his claws against all of them and he knocked them all down easily. "Come. I'm hoping for a challenge."
"You got it!" Jellal said as he pulled out his sword. He tried swinging it, but Mard Geer blocked each attack with just his arms and without effort. It was like Mard Geer turned his body to steel. Mard Geer slashed against Jellal and knocked him down.
"Still weak as ever, Jellal." Mard Geer said.
"Don't forget us." Natsu said as each of the rangers pulled out their weapons and attacked. Natsu tried, but Mard Geer struck him down. He pushed away Gray's trident and slashed against him. Did the same with Gajeel when he attacked with his club. He blocked Erza's sword and pushed her away and grabbed Lucy's whip to pull her in and strike at her.
"If this is the best you can do, I fail to understand how we could not beat you before." Mard Geer said.
"We're just getting started. The Magic Cannon guys!" Natsu said. They brought their weapons together and formed the cannon.
"Fire!" They unleashed the blast, but Mard Geer used his claws and was able to block the attack and resist it pushing against him. None of the rangers thought that was even possible. Mard Geer tossed it back at them and an explosion went off and knocked them all off.
"This is easier than I thought." Mard Geer said.
"We're not done yet." Jellal said.
"Yeah." Natsu said as he grabbed his shooter. "We're taking you down!" Both of them jumped up and tried to attack. Mard Geer was able to catch both of their weapons.
"You rangers are like insects infesting my garden." Mad Geer said. "You know what happens to bugs, don't you?"
"We've crushed everything you threw at us." Jellal said.
"You won't be any exception." Natsu said.
"Wrong answer." Mard Geer said as he pushed their weapons out of the way and punched the both of them and had them flying a few feet.
"Natsu! Jellal!" Erza called out as she and Gajeel got up. Mard Geer flew over from behind and grabbed the both of them by their necks.
"Join your pitiful fellow rangers." Mard Geer said. He bashed the both of them together and tossed them over to Natsu and Jellal.
"No! That's enough!" Lucy said as she tried to hit him, but Mard Geer grabbed her arm and bent it back.
"You may have succeeded before, but not this time." Mard Geer said. Gray got up and tried attack, but Mard Geer did the same with him. "This is the day I've been waiting for. This is the day your rangers fall and meet your end." He pushed the two of them in front and punched the both of them and sent them crashing into the others. "Cursed Thorns!" He had thorn vines grew out of the ground and strike against all the rangers. "You're all powerless to me."
"Don't act like you've already won." Natsu said.
"There isn't anything you can do to stop me." Mard Geer said. "I only need to plant two more of my lovely flowers. Then, their roots will dig into your Earth's core and destroy your world from the inside."
"We're not going to let that happen." Erza said.
"You won't have a choice." Mard Geer said. He unfolded his wings and took off to continue his destruction.
"This is bad." Gajeel said.
"No kidding. We need to stop Mard Geer before he plants those last two weeds of his." Gray said. All of them got up and went to try and stop Mard Geer before it was too late.
…
The Cube
With Mard Geer out on his own, his fellow etherious were watching him in work and they were already glad to see what has happened so far.
"Master Mard Geer truly is magnificent." Keyes said. "His flowers smell the end for the human race. Once they have fully grown, there is no stopping him."
"Even the Power Rangers are unable to stop him." Tempester said. "They can't even touch him and without the power of their weapons, there is nothing they can do to stop him."
"You're right." Kyoka said. "There's a reason Mard Geer is our master. It is because there is no one who can defeat him. Nice knowing you Power Rangers, but it looks like this will be the last battle any of you will ever have."
…
The Seas
Mard Geer decided to set his next flower out by the seas. He stood at the top of a cliff and held out his claw. His claw unleashed a white light and it caused another flower to grow out of the water.
"The third flower is in the place." Mard Geer said.
"Stop!" He saw Jellal come down from above. Jellal swung his sword, but Mard Geer stopped it, but he needed to stop the flower from fully growing. Mard Geer pushed Jellal away and slashed against him with him dropping and rolling to the ground. The other rangers arrived and are in Mystic Mode.
"Again you come." Mard Geer said.
"Yeah and we'll keep it up until you go down." Gajeel said.
"All the power and weapons you have are useless for I am invincible." Mard Geer said. He unleashed a flurry of white petals and caused an explosion around them. Gray rolled out and went to attack.
"Let's see if you can fight when you're frozen." Gray said as he unleashed some of his ice, but Mard Geer flew over his attack and got behind him. He slashed down on Gray from behind and knocked him down. Gajeel came up and formed iron pillars that surrounded Mard Geer and closed up around the top.
"I got him. Try and get out of that." Gajeel said. However, Mard Geer spread his wings and broke free.
"Did you honestly think that could hold me?" Mard Geer taunted. He shot out the petals again and blasted Gajeel. Erza went in to try and fight. She swung her staff around, but Mard Geer blocked each attack. Mard Geer grabbed her and flew up.
"Let me go!" Erza demanded.
"As you wish." Mard Geer said as he tossed her back to the ground and she hit it hard.
"Erza!" Lucy called as she ran to her aid. Mard Geer landed down and she took her turn. She fired blasts of light, but Mard Geer withstood them. She tried her staff, but he caught it. He kicked her under the legs and caused her to fall and Mard Geer stepped down on her.
"Get off her!" Natsu called out as he swung his staff, but Mard Geer jumped away. Natsu went after him and tried his staff, but Mard Geer deflected each of his attacks. "Magical Fire Blast!" Natsu unleashed a blast of fire at close range, but Mard Geer held the staff down and held the fire back. "No way!"
"Now do you see how powerless you are?" Mard Geer said. He flipped back and kicked Natsu. He jumped off from him and flew back. All the rangers regrouped and continued to stay strong against him.
"What's the deal with this guy?" Gajeel said.
"We can't give up. He's got to have a weakness somewhere." Natsu said.
"It seems I still need to get my point across." Mard Geer said as he built up power around his claws. He shot out blasts of dark lightning around the rangers and caused explosions to go off everywhere with one major one. It caused part of the cliff to give out. All the rangers fell to the ground. They all suffered too much damage and they were blasted out of their ranger forms. "That will teach you." He said as he stood over them at the cliff.
"No." Natsu said as he tried to get back up, but his body was telling him to stay down. Mard Geer returned his attention over to his flower. He unleashed the light again and caused the flower to grow to its full extent.
It's done." Mard Geer said. "Rangers, you may have been a challenge before, but it was all for naught. I won't destroy you, but only because I want you to watch your world be destroyed. The world you failed to protect." Mard Geer started to walk away and leave them in misery. "There's only one flower left. All that will be needed is the eclipse after that. It will power my flowers and the real fun can begin. Once that one is placed, their roots shall soon dig into the core and the world as you know it will end. You've lost, Power Rangers."
