Mal woke up with a small gasp and sat up before remembering she was in the dorm room of Auradon Prep. She took a deep breath but couldn't stop shaking. She had just dreamed Ben had broken up with her, and the last time that had happened was when the monster Invader of Nightmares had trapped her, Evie and Audrey in their nightmares. Only of their nightmares had turned out to be signs of reality, unfortunately for Audrey.
She looked around and for a moment thought Evie had gone somewhere before she remembered that Amy was in the blue haired girls bed right now while she had stayed with Lonnie that night so the two sisters could reconnect, sort to speak. She forced down her irritation at her mother Maleficent for stripping the four of them of their memories of her own twin sister before sending them to Auradon Prep to steal Fairy Godmother's wand what seemed like a lifetime ago.
She looked at her cell phone to find a text message from Ben that said Sleep tight my love; we have a long few days ahead of us. She couldn't help but smiling despite the ominous tones of the text. Calling her his love was evidence enough that she was not going to lose him. Still, adrenaline coursed through her body, more than enough to keep her awake. It also occurred to her how little they carried around or even used their original phones since they became rangers. Even Jane and Ben carried around one of the special iPhones despite the fact they didn't need it to transform.
She noticed the time and with a weary moan she stretched as she got out of bed. She went over and did something she normally wouldn't have had to do. She shook Amy gently and said, "Time to wake up."
Amy stirred a bit but wasn't quite ready to concede yet. "Time is it?" She asked sleepily.
"Just after six." Mal answered.
Amy shook her head a bit. "Too early." She said with a sigh. "Even you can't be that mean." She teased lightly.
Mal laughed a little bit. "It's important. We need to get our powers back." She replied.
Amy looked to her sister but still didn't get out of bed yet. "All of this is really important to you." She noted with a small yawn. She was impressed, but still. "I didn't know you took anything but trying to impress mom seriously."
"A lot has changed." Mal agreed. She herself had confessed to Evie that she just wanted to make Maleficent proud of her as they had gotten her ready for her first date with Ben. Of course that was when he was under the spell and they'd had plenty more honest dates since then. "Now come on sleepy head."
"It's too early Mal." Amy tried to protest, though she could feel her body getting to the point that she probably couldn't go back to a restful sleep if she wanted too. "I'm glad that you're getting your powers again, but come back for me later."
"No." Mal said and took her sister by the arm. She teased her younger twin about being pretty light, not even one hundred pounds soaking wet, but in this case that worked to her advantage as she was able to easily sit Amy up. "You have to come with Amy."
At that point any attempts at sleep would have been futile. She let out an exaggerated breath of annoyance and groused, "Fine, I'm up. I'm up."
The two girls got ready and headed downstairs where the team was starting to meet up. So far the only ones who were not there was Jane, Carlos, Jay and Audrey. Mal knew that Jane had gotten even less sleep than they did but would already be at the command center because of that. Jay was probably dragging Carlos out of bed the same way Mal had dragged Amy out but with more rough housing.
She was about to go check on Audrey when they heard the brunette princess say, "I'm here. Sorry I'm late." She was just straightening out the sleeves of her silk shirt. "We may be up at a horrendous hour but that doesn't mean we have to look it."
Amy couldn't help but glower just a bit at the comment but didn't follow up on it. Besides, if she wanted to be honest with herself they had all taken the time to look decent. And she couldn't argue the horrendous hour part.
A moment later they heard Jay coming down the stairs with Carlos in tow, almost literally as he had a hold of his arm. "Man, I should still be up in bed with Dude." Carlos moaned. "Lucky dog, at least he gets to sleep in."
"Remind me to find a tiny violin." Jay remarked, which made Mal and Amy laugh a little. "Suck it up man; we have other things to worry about."
"Be glad you're not Jane." Jordan said with a smirk. She didn't seem to be terribly inconvenienced about this and it made Amy wonder just how much sleep a genie actually got, or even needed really. They started to walk to the command center. "Between the resynch and getting the rose iPhone up and running she probably got like two hours of sleep."
"Next time we have a party, let's not have to be up this early." Aziz noted, barely awake himself. They had just had a dinner the night before to thank three groups of Power Rangers for helping them to get out of the Isle of the Lost when the group's attempt to bring back Mal and the others had gone south. Not that it didn't work out in the end, and they brought Amy to boot.
"I'll send that memo to mom and Paradias." Mal noted dryly with a roll of her eyes.
They entered the classroom where Fairy Godmother had once held Remedial Goodness 101 for her, Evie, Carlos and Jay. It had taken some convincing for from the four isle kids but their mentor had agreed to give Amy a preliminary test on Monday and if she passed it she could skip that class itself. Mal was sure her sister would pass with flying colors; it was one of the reasons that Maleficent had basically despised her after all.
They descended the stairs to the command center where they received tired smiles of greeting from Jane, Doug and Fairy Godmother. They were all pleasantly surprised to see the table they had in the command center had some breakfast items and some sodas there.
"Oh, caffeine." Mal noted happily as she reached for a Pepsi. She took a plate and took a bunch of strawberries and a jelly filled donut. She offered some strawberries to Amy which she gladly took but passed on the donut. She did take some bacon though.
"You do eat meat." Ben said to her jokingly. Amy tried to refrain from laughing but didn't entirely succeed. She ignored the comment itself though.
Audrey took a chocolate chip muffin and then paused, "Mal, Amy, did you ever try a strawberry muffin?" She asked them.
Mal paused with a strawberry halfway to her mouth. "They make those?" She asked with interest.
"They do." Audrey confirmed. She held one up. "Who wants it?" She asked.
"Go ahead and give it to Mal." Amy replied. It wasn't that she had a problem accepting it from Audrey, she just generally deferred to her older sister.
Mal took it from Audrey. "Thanks." She said and Audrey smiled in response. She then took the wrapper off and then split it in half. She already knew Amy would never agree to pick one of the pieces so she just turned around and gave what she thought was the bigger piece to her. "Here you go." She said.
Amy thought for a moment about declining but knew Mal was too stubborn to let her, not about something like a muffin. "Thanks Mal." She said instead. Mal smiled at her.
"Hey, we should try a statue of liberty play." Jay said as he picked up a cinnamon muffin.
"A what?" Ally asked confused.
"Don't know exactly what it is." Will answered as he took some bacon himself. "But Jason and Tommy were talking about it last night after they found out there was pizza. They were saying some friends of theirs did it once with some pizza, much to another of their friend's dismay since she had just gotten a new apartment."
"To bad too." Jay replied with a shrug. "If we knew what it was we could try it out on the Tourney field." He took a bite out of the sausage link he had and then looked to Will as he swallowed it. "Hey there's an idea. You ever thought about trying for the team?" He asked.
Will shrugged. "On and off." He replied.
"You should." Audrey advised him. "We haven't found a decent replacement for…" She broke herself off there and Jay stroked her hair softly.
"We need someone new." Ben filled in, though everyone knew for sure what he meant aside from Amy.
Evie leaned into her and whispered, "Chad was part of the team before he turned evil. He's been obsessed with hurting Audrey ever since." Amy nodded in understanding. She was kind of surprised to realize she felt such sympathy for Audrey upon hearing about this.
"Alright, now that we've had some time to wake up, let's get down to business." Fairy Godmother said. They all turned to her and set their plates down on the tables, or in a few instances consoles. "First off, we are ready to return your powers." A point on the console moved out to display their iPhones, as well as the magic wand and Ben's sword and shield. Ben, Mal and Audrey worked to distribute the iPhones out to everyone as Fairy Godmother picked up the magic wand and gave it back to her daughter.
Evie hugged hers to her chest. "I can't believe how empty I felt without it." She lamented.
"I know how you feel." Aziz assured her.
"And I have this ready to go." Jane said as she held up the iPhone with the rose gem in it. "It's synched to our system and ready to go. Using the previously untapped rose gem as a baseline I've set to scan the world for other signs of untapped gems." She looked to Mal. "We still need someone to take these powers but mom was saying you had an idea for that."
Amy was interested in who her older sister had in mind for that one. She generally liked her sister's ideas. "I propose we give this new power to Amy." She announced to the others. The rose haired girl almost swore she felt her jaw drop. This wasn't one of those ideas she could say she liked.
"What?" She heard the incredulous question. For just a second she had the urge to snap at Audrey for the tone of voice before she realized it had not been Audrey's voice to say that. It had been her own. "You want me to be a power ranger?" She asked.
Mal nodded. "You'd be perfect for it Amy." She promised her twin. "You certainly know wrong from right better than me or my friends did. You've become so strong and fierce since we left the Isle the first time, I can already see that." She took her little sister's hands in her own. "I saw you helping us fight those overwhelming number of Heartless. I know you can do the job."
"That was different, if we hadn't those things would have killed us." Amy protested. She also didn't want to point out that the Heartless couldn't be read the way that her sister or her friends or even Maleficent could be.
"Paradias wants us dead too." Lonnie pointed out reasonably. "We don't even know what he wants with Auradon but with your mother with him we can already be sure it's not going to be pretty."
"Sermaya wants us dead too." Audrey added, also sounding entirely reasonable. "And who knows what he wants to do to this entire world if he ever gets his way. He was here before we were apparently so his world might not be what any of us could survive in."
"We do this because the world needs us to Amy." Evie said to her gently. "If we had any other options we would take it, but these forces aren't looking to negotiate a truce."
Amy still seemed very uncertain. Before anyone could try to convince her any further the alarms went off. She jumped slightly even as Ben said, "That's the monster sensors. Paradias must have sent something down to us."
On screen they saw what looked to be a normal man. Still as they watched they saw that he seemed to be rather well muscled and they could see tentacle like vines encircling around his body. To make matters worse he had dozens of soldiers with him. They couldn't figure out though why he seemed to have come down with none of the generals.
"He's appeared on the outskirts of Briar canyon." Lonnie said.
"We have to go." Mal said as she went over to Jane and put the rose iPhone on the console next to Amy. "If you don't want to be a ranger, I understand. We'll figure something else out." With that she kissed her sister on the cheek and they started to file out.
Jordan stopped by Amy though. "Look, I get it. When I first found out I didn't really want to be a part of it. I had my own life, my own problems, and my own responsibilities." She said softly. "But I watched what your sister and our friends do, and I just don't mean fighting. I saw Ally and Aziz helping to keep students safe and that was before they knew the inside story." She reached out to pat the rose haired girl's shoulder gently. "Think carefully before you make your final decision, this chance might not come up again." With that she followed the others, leaving her with Fairy Godmother and Doug…and the rose iPhone.
The team showed up at the canyon though they hadn't transformed yet. The monster man looked up to them and bowed. "Power Rangers, it's an honor to meet you all." He stood up straight and proud. "I am Treusadale, gladiator of the ages. I am ready to take out all out, in an honorable fashion."
"That sounds like a contradiction in terms to me." Audrey noted.
"What do you mean by that?" Lonnie questioned him.
"One on one to the death." He announced.
The team looked at each other uneasily. Then Mal stepped forward. "I am Mal, daughter of Maleficent and I lead the Auradon Rangers. If you want a fight then I'm your first opponent." She looked to her team mates. "We play his game for now, but be ready to jump in if you have to." She instructed. They all nodded and then Mal called out, "Let's get to work." Jane used the magic wand to transform into the white ranger, Ben combined his sword and shield and everyone else input their numbers to transform.
With her dragon's eye staff Mal stepped toward Truesdale. After a moment it occurred to Evie that she should have some extra protection. "M." She started. She took one step forward to give her surrogate sister her mirror force shield but struck something hard. She fell to the ground hard, Jay and Audrey already by her side.
Mal sighed inwardly. She hadn't been counting on a force field to stop her team from coming to her aid. "Thanks anyway E." She said to her friend. She looked to Audrey. "If this goes wrong, you have to take care of them." It was her way of telling Audrey it was time for a plan b, and as second in command it was in her court now.
"You got it Mal." Audrey promised. "Be careful and good luck."
Mal nodded a bit and smiled, though no one could see it. "Thanks." She replied and then turned to meet the gladiator monster head on.
Amy felt tears in her eyes as it unfolded. Her sister was now fighting one on one and it could very well end in her death. "I just got her back." Amy whispered fearfully.
"Don't fret child." Fairy Godmother said consolingly as she placed a hand on her shoulder. "Mal can do it."
Amy bit her lip and nodded. She also had to admit to herself she felt touched. She of course knew that Evie cared for her sister, but to see that in Audrey…she was finding it just a bit harder to be annoyed by her.
Trusedale had a staff as well and he charged Mal. She blocked it expertly and started to parry him. She lost her focus though as she made sure that the soldiers were not trying to attack her team. They were not but the distraction resulted in him sweeping her legs out from under her.
"Mal, keep it together." Ben called out, voice full of worry. "Don't worry about us." He was starting to think he should have gone first, since he had the armor of the knight. The problem was, as he knew well, that Mal was stubborn and that leadership had its dangers as well as its perks.
He tried to bring his staff down on her throat but she rolled out of the way of the attack. She got up and blocked another staff strike to her side. She lashed out and struck him with what she thought was great force but he didn't seem to feel it.
"That thing we did when we were captured in Agrabah, to lend our strength to those who were fighting." Ally said as she looked to her team mates. "Can't we do it again?"
Jane placed her hand on the force field. She sighed. "I'm afraid not Ally. It's been magically insulated. No spell will get through to her." She revealed.
Jay looked to Aziz and Will. "Let's punch through it then." He said.
"That won't work." Jordan said. "Nothing solid can get through this thing. We can't get through it until that monster is dead or until he's ready to let us in." She didn't want to point out that the only way that would happen was if he killed Mal.
Mal tried to aim for the middle of his staff, hoping to break it in half but it was sturdy enough to weather the impact regardless of the additional power of the dragon behind it. He brought it down hard onto the purple helmet and it resulted in a resounding crack that Mal swore took out her hearing for a moment until she realized she heard Evie and Ally call out her name.
"Try the neon armor." Lonnie called out to her desperately.
Mal was able to activate the neon armor but even with the increased speed and strength she found that she was only matching Treusdale. He turned around and slammed the top of his staff against the dragon's eye and it cracked. It shot out a jolt and Mal was forced to drop the staff.
"No." Ally gasped.
"This is not good." Carlos said softly. "We have to do something. Now."
Jane thought she heard her mother asking something about being sure but she wasn't paying attention just now. She was trying to fight the horrible feeling that Mal was about to lose, and not just the fight but her life.
Truesdale tried to bring the staff down on her helmeted head again but Mal raised her hands to catch the staff. She intended to pull it away but she heard the sound of something but unsheathed and though she didn't know how yet she realized she had made a fatal mistake. From her opponents boot extended a dagger than was driven right into her stomach.
"Mal!" Ben called out in panic.
"No!" Jay exclaimed as the three boys tried to charge the force shield with no effect.
"Jordan." Audrey started, her voice near panic.
Jordan was frozen for a second and then stammered. "I…I can make a potion…but I don't know how we're supposed to get…to get in there." She said.
"Do it." Audrey practically pleaded. She summoned her elemental bow and tried to unleash a stream of what she hoped were shattering arrows. It wasn't enough to take out the force field.
Carlos and Mal were now trying to help the other three boys but to no avail.
Treusdale laughed as he looked to them. "One down, or near enough." He twirled his staff as he waited for the field to drop. "As soon as she is dead the field will drop. I expect that at that point you will all charge me. But my master will be rid of one ranger, and the leader to boot." He laughed again. "Unless you all lose your will to fight at her death."
Jordan had the potion ready but saw they couldn't do anything. "Sorry Mal." She said softly.
Then they heard footsteps as Amy approached. Through her tears her eyes glowed red. "You stabbed my sister." She said with a calm deadly voice despite the tears in her eyes and the angry red glow. "You're hoping she dies."
"And what are you going to do about it little girl?" Truesdale taunted her.
Amy reached out her hand and requested, "Potion, please Jordan." The gold ranger handed her the potion.
"Amy, you can't take him on even if you could get in there." Audrey said to her. Amy couldn't muster energy to snap at the red ranger, not when she could hear the tears and fears in her voice.
"Don't worry Audrey. I know what I'm doing." She said instead. Then she stepped up to the field and placed her hand on it. For a moment it was solid enough, just as the others had already discovered. Then she started to push her way through it.
"No way." Aziz gasped.
"She has the gift of intangibility." Jane said in awe.
Treusdale seemed less than impressed. "So you breached my walls little girl. What are you going to do now?" He asked.
Amy took the rose iPhone out of her pocket, input the numbers 9976 and transformed. Her ranger costume looked like the others except it was a dark rose coloring, just like her hair color. The visor of her helmet was rose shaped, a unique addition to her helmet. Vines were wrapped around her legs though they were purely decoration.
"Now that is cool." Carlos had to admit.
"If you want to fight someone, then you fight me next." Amy said softly. Her voice was full of venom though.
Treusdale charged her, intending to slam his staff into her face but she was small enough to roll out of the way. She intentionally let go of the potion and it rolled toward Mal, right as she intended. She then stood straight up to look at the gladiator.
He hadn't noticed the potion, he was so intent on his small yet lithe opponent. He lashed out his staff at Amy but again he underestimated how she could use her small size to her advantage and dodged it. She then summoned her weapon, it looked very similar to Billy's power lance but the lance edges were red in design, so much so that it looked like the petals of a rose. He swung at her again and she blocked it, then jabbed one of the pedaled ends into his face, and it sent him falling back hard. She then moved in to try to give the same impact he tried on Mal but he dodged it.
"Nice move but you can't stop me." Truesdale warned. He shot his staff out to try to jab it into Amy's head. He would have connected too if she hadn't dodged out of the way, proving she was just as agile.
She separated her one long rose lance into two pieces and brought it down on her opponent's staff into a total of three pieces. She then kicked him hard.
The blade on the toe of his boot lashed out and slashed at Amy. She was able to back up in enough time to avoid being impaled as her older sister had but it still managed to slash her hard and she fell back.
He moved in, ready to bring his fists down on her. At her 97 pounds he had the strength to fracture her skull but then Audrey and Lonnie were in front of him, blocking his fists. It hurt their arms to do it but it was worth it to protect their newest team member.
Will and Jay lashed out with their swords and slashed Truesdale away from the two girls hard.
Amy looked up to see the rest of the rangers were fighting the warriors, who had also rushed into the area to fight the rangers when the Rose Ranger brought down the force field by shattering his staff. Except for Ben who was checking on Mal, who at least seemed okay thanks to Jordan's potion.
"Are you okay?" Lonnie asked Amy as she helped her up. It dawned on her that technically she was a fellow pink ranger, though her shade of pink was darker than her own.
"Yes." Amy answered and made sure to catch Audrey's gaze in her own now as well. " Thank you."
"You're welcome." Audrey said to her with an appreciative nod. "Now let's show him what happens when a monster tries to kill one of our own."
"Are you sure you're okay?" Ben asked Mal.
Mal nodded. "I'm fine." She said and pat his hand gently. "Remember, this is the risk we all take out here. Just be glad we have Jordan to make sure that it doesn't turn out worse." She was still a bit fuzzy on how Amy got through the field but that was for later. She did a quick glance around, saw Amy with Audrey and Lonnie and Will going up against the gladiator. "Go have Evie and Carlos come here." She told Ben. "Then Aziz and the girls with the soldiers. I'll send Will and Amy your way too. We'll take care of Truesdale."
Ben nodded. "Okay." He agreed, his voice still a little light as he realized how close he had come to losing his girlfriend. "Please be careful." With that he was heading toward the other rangers with his sword drawn.
Mal joined her sister and her friends facing the gladiator. She gave her sister a brief hug and then looked at Will. "You two go over and help fight the soldiers, Evie and Carlos are on their way over here." She instructed. Even as she said that Ben had tapped Evie on her shoulder to deliver Mal's instructions.
"No, I want to stay with you." Amy announced.
"Don't worry about it." Will said to them. "We've got the easy part. You guys have the hard part. You'll need the extra muscle." With a quick touch to Lonnie's arm he left to go help against the soldiers. He passed Evie and Carlos on the way over.
Truesdale moved to attack but Lonnie and Jay intercepted with their tessens and scimitar respectively. They both struck him hard and he fell back. The gladiator recovered quickly but Audrey already had her elemental bow ready and shot out an ice arrow at him. It seemed as if her aim had fallen short as it struck his leg rather than his chest.
Amy, who was quite good at archery herself, looked over at Audrey. "You missed." She stated. She didn't want to ask her if she knew what she was doing.
Audrey looked over at her and asked simply, "Did I?"
The gladiator got ready to attack again, Lonnie and Jay more than ready to defend against him. But it became unnecessary when it became apparent he couldn't move because of the icy effect of the arrow Audrey had shot at him.
Amy looked to Audrey and again had to admit that the brunette princess's plan had been a good one. "Okay, nice shot after all." She relented.
They of course knew it was a temporary measure and Truesdale broke through the ice. With that speed and strength he smashed his fists hard into Jay and Lonnie's chest, sending them to the ground hard. Then he turned and grabbed Audrey's bow and tossed her hard into Amy. He turned to Mal but that was when Carlos jumped up and slashed him with his earthquake claw daggers.
"What's the plan M?" Evie asked her chosen purple haired sister as she came up to her. "We don't have much time." As if to prove the point the gladiator got a hold of Carlos, the yellow ranger being smaller than his opponent and in fact the second smallest of the rangers after their new rose ranger, and tossed him away hard, where he rolled to a stop by the recovering pink, red and black rangers.
Mal recovered her staff, slightly dismayed over the crack in the dragon's eye and wondered how they were going to repair that. "Let's bring our weapons together and hope it has enough power to take him out." She said.
They heard Doug's voice over the intercom helmet, which was a rarity actually. "Right now it doesn't, especially with the damage to your weapon. Luckily I was able to make a modification to Jane's original design to compensate for it. Amy can add her two rose lance pieces on the top with Jay, Lonnie and Carlos's weapon to increase the power of your blaster."
"You must be clairvoyant too." Lonnie teased Amy as she recalled the rose ranger had wanted to stay with them and help fight the gladiator.
Amy shook her head. "No clairvoyance here." She admitted. She may have been able to read emotion but she wasn't able to see the future or read minds like she read books. "Just a good coincidence."
"Call it what you want to, we need it now." Audrey said. She looked to Mal. "Ready?" She asked.
Mal nodded. "Let's do it." She first placed her dragon's eye staff, again hoping that they could find a way to repair it. Doug had already confirmed it was damaged and that it would have an effect in combat.
Next Audrey laid her elemental bow on top of it. Behind that went Evie's mirror force shield, the compacts around it opening up. Then Jay placed his soul scimitar in the middle. On either side of it went Lonnie's hurricane tessens, Carlos's earthquake claw daggers and then as a new touch Amy's rose lances.
"It's like a deluxe pizza now." Carlos commented with a laugh.
"Won't be able to get many more toppings on this." Audrey drawled.
Now they stood; Lonnie, Jay, Audrey, Amy, Mal, Carlos and Evie. The seven rangers unleashed their blaster attack on the Treusdale and were able to destroy him. They lowered their weapons only to see the soldiers had vanished and the other members of the team were coming toward them.
"I didn't really notice a drop in power." Jay observed.
"Neither did I." Audrey said.
"It was there, I promise you." Carlos replied.
"It was the addition of Amy's weapons to the formation." Evie explained. "Her additional power offset the drop that the blaster suffered because of the damage to Mal's dragon eye part.
As the two teams converged again and they powered down Ben swept Mal up into a fierce hug. "That was so close." He whispered.
"We've been in worse spots before, Bennie-boo." Mal said with a small smile as she rubbed his arms gently.
"Yeah, but this was different." He said to her as he placed one of his hands on her stomach. "He made you bleed, horribly. If it weren't for Jordan's potion you would have bled out." They all studiously avoided looking at the spot where their leader nearly had done just that.
"He's right Mal." Audrey agreed softly. "I mean I've had my share of cuts and bruises and even a couple of broken bones thanks to Chad, but I was never looking at death's door before." Not that Chad hadn't had a couple of opportunities for that but it was clear that he had far more long term sinister intentions for Audrey than just death.
Amy hugged her sister. "I almost lost you today." She voiced softly, near tears as she had been when she saw Mal fighting the gladiator. "That's why I chose to become a ranger, no matter how uncertain I felt, and still do feel, about it. Because I can't lose you."
Mal hugged her sister gently even as she squeezed Ben's hand and then looked at the rest of their friends with as reassuring a smile as she could muster despite the near death experience frightening her more than she would ever like to admit to everyone. "That's why I want you on this team Amy, because I trust you to have our backs just as much as I trust each and every one of them to have mine." She gave her sister a meaningful glance.
Amy understood it all too well. That included Audrey, no matter what kind of reservations Amy had about her. To be part of the team meant accepting Audrey's place among them. And Amy realized that after what she had seen today there was a really good chance she could do just that in time.
Evie frowned a little. "But you did almost die today M." She pointed out.
"We all knew that risk when we took up these powers E." The purple haired girl reminded her chosen sister simply. "Granted I came a lot closer to that today than any of us ever have before, but that reality has always been there. That's why we all watch each other's backs, that's why we all work together as a team, as one." That she said as she looked to them all.
They all returned to the command center, first attacking the food with renewed vigor, even Amy ate more though it was limited to strawberries, strawberry milk and some more bacon. Jordan had made an omelet station from out of nowhere. Mal reluctantly got Amy to eat a small bacon and cheese omelet.
After they had all gotten some of their strength up Mal formed her dragon's eye staff and showed it to Fairy Godmother. "He managed to crack it, something I thought was impossible." She noted. "So how do we go about fixing it?"
Fairy Godmother shook her head a little. "I wish I knew what to tell you on this one." She admitted. "I don't know anything about this. But since Belle gave it to you it might be advisable to ask her if she has any ideas." She added.
"Then I'll take Mal and Amy over there now." Ben decided.
"Good idea." Mal agreed. She did want Amy to see the library his mother had, knowing her little sister would freak out. She looked to the rest of the team. "Do whatever you can to get our zords up a little faster, I think we're going to need them sooner rather than later."
