Mard Geer has decided to take action himself. He's already planted three large flowers. He claims that their roots will sink into the Earth's core and the world will be destroyed from the inside. The Power Rangers tried fighting his true etherious form, but he proven to be much more powerful and dangerous than they thought. With only one more flower for Mard Geer to plant, they thought they try to get rid of the ones he already placed. Natsu and Gray grabbed both their zords and flew over to the one in the city.

"Let's do this." Gray said.

"Time to roast that flower." Natsu said. His dragon-zord breathed out flames and tried to burn down the flower. Smoke was coming from it, but when the flames stopped, the flower wasn't harmed. "No way! It's not burned or anything."

"Let's try freezing it." Gray said as he used his zord and shot out a cold beam. However, he wasn't having any effect on the flower either. "No. Nothing is working." The other rangers were down below and seeing their plan was failing.

"Why isn't anything working?" Gajeel asked.

"Mard Geer must have put up protection spell or something so no harm can come to them." Jellal said.

"If that's the case, how are we going to destroy these things?" Lucy asked.

….

Rangers' Base

Mavis and Mirajane kept track of what has been going on. They were also trying to find a way that could destroy those flowers and ruin Mard Geer's plan. However, it seemed they weren't doing much better.

"It's no good." Mirajane said. "I'm looking, but I can't find a thing that could take down those flowers."

"I have a feeling that the only way we're going to destroy these flowers is if we destroy Mard Geer first." Mavis said.

"That will difficult since he holds so much power and the rangers can't even make a dent in him." Mirajane said.

"We can't give up. We must have faith that they will find a way to prevail." Mavis said. She has no doubt that the rangers will find some way to defeat Mard Geer.

Magnolia

"Nothing we've tried is working." Gray said as he and Natsu tried, but the flower doesn't look damage at all.

"We've got to keep trying." Natsu said. "No telling when Mard Geer will decide to set up that last flower." All of them kept trying, but they soon heard some sort of noise. "Oh no!" They looked over in the distance and saw the last flower was starting to grow.

"No! It's Mard Geer's last flower." Lucy said.

"I guess he's done wasting time." Jellal said. Natsu's rage and fury grew like those flowers every time.

"I'm going in." Natsu said as he steered the dragon over in that direction.

"Natsu, no! You can't go in alone, dope!" Gray said, but Natsu wasn't stopping.

….

Mard Geer

Mard Geer stood at the top of a building in his etherious form. He had the flower fully grow and was all set for the final phase of his plan to come to fruition.

"That's right. Grow my flowers of the etherious and bring upon this world's demise." Mard Geer said.

"Stop!" He looked and saw Natsu coming at him, but he fired his petals and blasted Natsu right out of the air.

"Coming to face me alone. How very stupid of you." Mard Geer said. Natsu got back up and went to fight. He tried kicking him, but that didn't work. Natsu grabbed Mard Geer's arm and tried moving it out of the way, but Mard Geer used his spare and bashed it against Natsu a few times to get him to let go.

"Tell me how to get rid of those flowers!" Natsu demanded.

"Why would I do that?" Mard Geer said.

"I'm going to need that answer before I beat you down." Natsu said as he continued to try and attack. Mard Geer blocked another kick. Natsu tried hitting him, but Mard Geer grabbed his arm and pushed it away.

"You're done for, Red Ranger." Mard Geer said. "The only way to get rid of my flowers is to defeat me and that won't happen." Natsu broke free from Mard Geer's grip. He rolled under Mard Geer's claw attack and tried kicking him, but Mard Geer acted quickly and grabbed his leg. Mard Geer tossed Natsu behind him and fired another attack and blasted Natsu down. "Face the facts that it's all about to end. There's nothing you or your friends can do."

"Natsu!" Both of them saw the other rangers come through the roof's door. Mard Geer blasted all of them and knocked them down.

"You rangers will never learn." Mard Geer said. "No matter how outmatch you are, you just keep coming back. This time, however, you're too late. All that is needed now is for the eclipse to power my flowers. That will mark the beginning of the end as their roots sink into the core."

"You'll never win." Natsu said.

"I believe I already have. Enjoy your last few moments in the world you knew." Mard Geer said as he unfolded his wings and flew off.

"No!" Natsu shouted as Mard Geer got away from him again.

"Are you okay?" Lucy said as she helped him up with the rangers demorphing.

"I'll be much better once we take him down." Natsu said.

"What can we do now?" Gajeel said.

"I don't know. He's set up the last flower and all of them about to crush Earth." Jellal said.

"We're not giving up." Natsu said. "Didn't you hear him? We have until the eclipse to stop him. If we can just take Mard Geer down before that happens, we can still prevail."

"How do you know?" Lucy asked.

"Because that's who we are." Natsu said. "We've faced tough enemies before, but we always managed to win. Power Rangers never let evil win. As long as we don't stop fighting, we'll find some way to win. We still have a chance of winning. That monster took away everything from me once before. I'm not going to let him do that to me again. With or without you guys, I'm going to keep fighting until I can't breathe." All of them felt their courage and resolve rise up. They all saw Natsu was right. They have to keep fighting because Power Rangers never give up. All of them heard their morphers go off.

'That's what I like to hear.' Mavis said. 'Mard Geer has headed to the mountains. You still have time to stop him. Rangers, don't stop believing in yourselves. Your hearts will give you the strength to win. Something Mard Geer doesn't have."

"So what are we waiting for?" Jellal said.

"Let's go kick some etherious butt" Gray said and they were all in full agreement.

…

Mard Geer

Mard Geer stood in the mountains and he was waiting for his big moment. With all four of his flowers planted, all he needed was for the eclipse to power them up and it will be the end of the world.

"It won't be long." Mard Geer said as he held his hands to the sun as his time was moments away. "The sun shall be blocked by the moon and my fellow etherious shall take over as the humans and their world shall be destroyed for us to rebuild. Finally, I have won."

"Mard Geer!" He looked down to the side and saw the rangers came back in their Mystic Mode and he was starting to get annoyed.

"You just don't know when to give up." Mard Geer said.

"You're evil will never win." Erza said.

"As long as we're still standing, we'll keep fighting." Lucy said.

"Blast him guys." Natsu said as all six of them shot out an energy blast, but Mard Geer used his wing like a shield and blocked each attack.

"I've been entertained by your efforts, but I'm starting to get bored with all this." Mard Geer said. He caused large vines to grow out of the ground and grind against the rangers. Natsu jumped from vine to vine and leaped out of them and to Mard Geer.

"You're done for!" Natsu said as he swung his staff, but Mard Geer caught it and they both tried to push the other back. Natsu looked to the sky and saw the moon was starting to overlap the sun. "No! The eclipse is starting."

"That's right." Mard Geer said as the sky became dark. "The roots of my flower will start to sink into the ground. The world as you know is about to end." He kicked Natsu back and slashed against him and knocked down to the others. Mard Geer flew down to their level and was ready to end it. "You may have won many battles, but we've won the war."

"That's what you think." Jellal said as he went in and started swinging his sword, but Mard Geer slashed at him with his claw and moved him out of the way.

"Guys, we need to finish him now." Natsu said.

"Elemental Blast!" All five of them shot out the combined beam, but Mard Geer held up his arms and blocked was blocking the attack, but the rangers kept trying to push him back.

"Keep pushing!" Gajeel said.

"We can do this!" Gray said.

"You'll do nothing, but lose!" Mard Geer said as he used all his power and reflected the blast and caused an explosion that blasted all of them and knocked them down. "Darkness and chaos will cover your world." All of them tried to get up to keep the fight going.

"We're not afraid of the dark or of you!" Natsu claimed as he charged Mard Geer. He managed to get in a few strikes, but Mard Geer grabbed his staff.

"Why do you persist when it's hopeless?" Mard Geer said.

"You don't get it." Natsu said. "No matter how dark things might get, they'll always be light to shine through. We'll do everything we can to stop you and you'll see you're the one who had no power to us."

"Your empty threats don't scare me." Mard Geer said as he freed an arm and slashed against Natsu and sent him flying to the others. "I've had enough of you, Red Ranger. I'll destroy you like I did to your father."

"I'm going to make you pay for that." Natsu said as he and the others got back up.

"You're all doomed." Mard Geer said as he took a step forward, but he felt weak.

"Look! He's weakened!" Gray said.

"He must have burned too much of his power. Now's our chance!" Erza said.

"We have to finish him now!" Jellal said. "Natsu, you should be the one to do it. Take my sword to do it." He held it out for him. "Do it for your family."

"I will." Natsu said as he took it. "Time to end this. Final Magic Slash!"" The other rangers brought their arms together and formed a spring for him. Natsu jumped on it as he focused all his power and jumped high into the air.

"What?!" Mard Geer said.

"This is for all of humankind. This is for my family!" Natsu came down and slashed against Mard Geer with Jellal's sword and held much power behind it that Mard Geer couldn't stop it. He spun around and slashed him with a fire blade from his staff. Natsu gave it one last thrust and slammed his staff against Mard Geer and fire blasted through him. Natsu pulled out and turned his back to him.

"It wasn't suppose to end like this!" Mard Geer shouted before he fell back and an explosion went off and was destroyed with the flowers wilting away with it.

"Goodbye Mard Geer and good riddance." Natsu said as the sky returned to normal and all of them demorphed.

"We did it! We actually did it!" Lucy cheered. All of the rangers came together and celebrated over their biggest victory yet.

"We really did, did it!" Gajeel said.

"Mard Geer is gone!" Gray cheered. This was the greatest moment the rangers had. Natsu got his revenge and this could mean the end of the etherious as well.

….

The Cube

"Aw! I don't believe it!" Keyes shouted. Not everyone was happy that Mard Geer was gone. The etherious that served him was crushed.

"Master Mard Geer!" Kyoka cried as she dropped to her knees. "He's gone! That's not possible!" Tempester was so mad that he pounded a hole in the wall.

"Those rangers are going to pay for this." Tempester declared. All three of them were distraught about this. However, Keyes began to feel a dark power that was heavy and depraving.

"What is this I'm sensing?" Keyes questioned. Someone began to walk into the throne room and got the attention of all of them.

"So even Mard Geer fell to the Power Rangers. He was a loyal etherious, but I shall continue his work." The etherious' heartbreak changed into astonishment for they could not believe who it was.

"It's him! It's actually him!" Kyoka said. "It's our creator!" Mard Geer has been defeated, but the rangers may not be done as they thought.
