Unknown: It's the only color I can think of, unless I was to change the Crane Driver's shade of purple to a lighter one, like the Armadillo and Cephlazords.

In Root Core, Clare was sitting by the Fire Heart egg.
"Hatch? Come on, hatch? Hatch?" she said impatiently.
Udonna turned to her at the back of the room near a shelf, holding a book.
"The Fire Heart will hatch when the time is right, Clare." she said.
"But I've never seen a baby dragon before." Clare complained.
"Well, you must be patient." Udonna said, walking down some steps. "Haven't you ever heard the phase 'A watched pot never boils'?"
"Oh, that reminds me." Clare said.
She got up and ran towards a cauldron near a table, which Udonna also approached. She picked up some grapes that were glowing different colors, then put them into the cauldron, as Udonna stopped by the table and turned. Clare picked up a spoon in a jar, then picked up some seeds from the jar with the spoon, before she turned and put them into the cauldron. Udonna put her hand over her nose to cover the smell, before she turned to Clare and lowered her hand, as Clare put more ingredients into cauldron.
"By the smell of it, that potion is strong enough..." Udonna said, as Clare picked up some leave shaped objects. "...to wear of Morticon himself."
"This isn't a potion. This is our dinner." Clare explained, adding the ingredients, before she began stirring.
Udonna turned to her, just as she turned around.
"Oh, and I've been practicing my invisibility spell." Clare explained. "Watch?"
She raised her hands up as they lit up with magic, then lowered them down and held them out, but only her legs turned invisible.
"Oh! Why do I even try?" Clare groaned. "At this rate, I will never become a sorceress."
"Magic isn't all about potions and wands, Clare." Udonna assured, approaching her. "It's about tapping the potential deep within yourself."
"You really think that I have potential?" Clare asked.
"My dear apprentice, I am certain of it." Udonna assured.
"Then I'll keep working." Clare promised.
"Good." Udonna said.
Clare began to walk off towards the steps, making Udonna turn to her.
"With or without legs." Clare added, walking up the steps.
In the Underworld, Morticon sat in his throne, slamming the end of his sword against the floor, as Nercolai stood in front of him.
"I must escape this horrible pit!" he declared, getting up, putting his sword on his shoulder.
"Who can help us?" Nercolai wondered, before she turned around. "Of course; the Oracle."
"Yes. Bring him to me." Morticon instructed.
Outside the Rock Porium, a short blonde-haired man wearing a hat and red vest top was crouched down in front of a girl and her mother, holding a bunch of balloons.
"There you go, princess." he said, handing the girl a yellow balloon. "Nice big yellow one."
The girl took the balloon and paid for it, before she and her mother turned and walked off. The man got up smiling, as Toby came out of the store with a box, who approached the grey van, just as Nercolai came swooping down and grabbed the man.
"Ah!" he yelped.
Toby gasped as Nercolai flew off with the man.
"Huh?" Toby muttered.
"Help me?" the man yelled, as Nercolai laughed.
"Okay. I...did not just see a giant bat." Toby said, thinking he'd imagined it, before he turned.
A little later, Nercolai flew down the tunnel in the Underworld while still holding the man, before she let go of him.
"AH!" he screamed, before he hit the floor on his side.
He got up to his knees as Nercolai landed crouched down in front of him, before they both got up and turned to Morticon and Leelee.
"I have brought him, as promised." Nercolai said.
"Good." Morticon said.
"What's going on?" the man asked nervously. "What is this place?"
He looked around before turning to Morticon.
"Do not test my patience!" Morticon snarled, approaching the man. "I know who you are."
"I've never seen you before!" the man panicked, as Morticon paced around him. "Please let me out of here?"
"I'll just pay a visit to the children with the balloon." Morticon threatened, as he walked off, before he stopped and turned around. "Would you like that?"
"Very well...Morticon." the man sighed, taking a step back, as he was the Oracle.
Morticon sniggered as the man closed his eyes, before he began to change, until he had longer hair, and wore wizard's robes that were orange, with white sleeves, and light brown bottoms. He opened his eyes and approached Morticon, Nercolai and Leelee.
"Talk about an extreme makeover." Leelee joked, approaching Nercolai.
"Now, why have you brought me to this forsaken hole?" the Oracle asked.
"You will use your special skills to help me find a way out of this pit!" Morticon demanded. "You know what damage I can do!"
"Let us just see if there is a way?" the Oracle asked.
He closed his eyes and held out his left hand, before an eye popped out from it, which he then looked at carefully.
"The answer is simple." he said. "Use the Gatekeeper to open the gate for you."
"If the gate was to be opened, your entire army could attack the surface world at once." Nercolai realized.
"Fool!" Morticon roared angrily, turning to her.
"Ah!" she gasped.
"The Gatekeeper is no more!" Morticon roared. "Her life force was spent sealing the gate!"
"Ah, but what you don't know is, that there is another." the Oracle explained.
"Another Gatekeepr?" Nercolai inquired. "Who is it?"
"That I cannot see." the Oracle said, as his eye hand vanished. "Only that it is someone close to the Power Rangers."
Leelee stepped forward with a determined look on her face.
"I bet I know who it is." she said.
Back outside the Rock Porium, Toby closed up the side of his van.
"Giant bat, just doesn't...swoop up..." he said.
He walked to the front of the van as Chip came over, who was putting on his work jacket while holding a bag.
"...outta the sky and pick someone up and carry them away." Toby said.
He turned left and looked up, seeing Nercolai swooping down towards him.
"Hyah!" she screeched.
"Ah!" Toby yelped, as she grabbed and flew off with him.
"Oh, man!" Chip gasped.
He backed away slightly, putting down his bag, before he took out his morpher and opened it up, before he dialled to call the others.
A little later, Nercolai flew Toby over part of the city.
"Last stop." she said, letting him go.
"AHH!" Toby yelled.
He dived towards the ground, hitting on his chest before he rolled over, hitting the edge of a building support beam lying on the ground. Nercolai landed in front of him, just as he turned around and pulled himself up.
"You will open the doors to the Underworld, Gatekeeper!" she demanded, approaching him.
"Gatekeeper? No. No...you gotta have the wrong guy." Toby said, holding his hands up. "I can't even find my car keys most of the time."
"Do not anger my!" Nercolai scowled, grabbing his arm.
"Okay!" Toby panicked, knocking her arm down.
He ran off past her, as she turned around to follow, just as Nick jumped his Mystic Speeder up towards them both.
"Hyah!" he yelled, firing its lasers.
"AH!" Nercolai moaned, as the blast hit her.
She spun around and got knocked away, hitting a few barrels, before she fell onto her chest, as Nick landed his bike on the ground, before skidding it to a halt near Toby.
"Hey." he said, as Toby approached him. "Get to safety!"
"Yes, sir, Mr. Ranger, sir." Toby said, putting his hands together.
He turned right and ran off.
"Okay." Nick said.
He got off his bike and turned to Nercolai, as Toby hid behind a bunch of crates, just the other Rangers showed up on their Mystic Racers, which they jumped off of. They all landed near Nick and ran towards him, before they all stared at Nercolai and got ready to fight, as she got up.
"Back off, Rangers!" she demanded, holding her hands like claws.
"Yah!" the Rangers yelled, charging forward.
Nick tried to punch Nercolai, but she knocked his fist down with her hand.
"Whoa!" he yelped, moving past her.
Nercolai knocked Chip's fist aside, then clawed his chest, flipping him onto his back, then she tried to kick Xander, who blocked it with his elbows. He ducked as she tried to whack him, before she spun around, then he blocked her left arm with his right, before she grabbed it and flipped him onto his back.
"Ah!" he moaned.
Nercolai turned as Susan came over to kick her, but missed as she dodged, then she grabbed Susan's left arm as she tried to whack her, before she kicked Susan's belly, knocking her away.
"AH!" Susan moaned, falling onto her back.
Vida and Madison both came at Nercolai, who ducked and moved back as Vida tried to punch her.
"Hyah!" Vida yelled, as Nercolai screeched.
She blocked a punch from Madison with her hands, then blocked one from Vida with her right elbow, then barely dodged one from Madison, before she spun around to kick them both, but missed as they ducked. She then spun around and tackled Madison as Vida backed away, causing Madison to flip up and hit the ground on her back.
"Ah!" she moaned.
Nercolai blocked a punch from Vida with her forearm, then blocked another lower one with her hand, before she knocked Vida's arm up and tripped her up onto her side.
"Ah!" she moaned.
Nercolai turned as Nick came at her, before she ducked as he jumped and spun around to kick her, as Chip came up behind her. She blocked a punch from him with her hand, then clawed at his chest twice, knocking him down and away.
"AH!" he moaned.
Toby flinched and covered his mouth as he watched, just as Nercolai turned to him.
"Oh!" he gasped, stuttering.
He got up and ran off.
"Come back?!" Nercolai scowled.
She began to chase after him, just as Nick got up and got in front of her, holding his arms out.
"Stop?!" he demanded.
Toby gasped as he ducked down and hit behind a cart and part of a pipe.
"Outta my way!" Nercolai demanded.
"What do you want with him?!" Nick demanded.
"The Gatekeeper will be mine!" Nercolai declared, waving her right flap.
The other Rangers pulled themselves up slightly, getting to their knees as they groaned.
"Gatekeeper?" Nick questioned.
"He processes more power than all of you put together." Nercolai explained, pointing at the others as they got to their feet. "I'll be back!"
She jumped up and spread out her wings, before she flew off over the Rangers.
"Whoa!" Nick yelped, turning around as she laughed.
The others gathered around him as they all looked at Nercolai.
"Hey!" Vida scowled.
"I don't get it!" Chip said.
"Get back here!" Susan demanded.
"What was she talking about?" Nick wondered.
Later, in the Underworld, Nercolai stood before Morticon, who held up his sword angrily, as the Oracle and Leelee watched from either side of them.
"You will pay for losing the Gatekeeper!" Morticon growled, raising his sword up.
"She did not lose the Gatekeeper." the Oracle stated.
"What?" Morticon exclaimed.
"She didn't lose the Gatekeeper because she didn't find the Gatekeeper. That was the wrong person." the Oracle explained.
"What?" Nercolai muttered, lowering her left arm.
"Now, that's all the information I have, so if you don't mind..." the Oracle said, walking off slightly, before he stopped. "...I'll be on my way."
Magic came out of his head and then he vanished.
Leelee laughed nervously. "Oops." she said, realizing her mistake.
Morticon growled as his sword lit up, before he slashed it against the floor, making both women yelp.
"AH!" they gasped, covering their faces with their forearms, as sparks came up from the floor.
"AH!" he roared.
Nercolai fell down near the throne, panting as she turned to him.
"One chance." Morticon warned, approaching her. "If you do not come back with the Gatekeeper, then do not come back at all!"
Stream came out of his head as he looked at her angrily.
At Root Core, Clare was standing on an outdoor balcony area, her legs still invisible.
"Remember, Clare, you have potential." she told herself.
She raised her hands up as they lit up with magic, then lowered them down and held them out, turning invisible.
"I did it!" she cheered. "I did it! I have to show Udonna."
She turned and began to run off.
Meanwhile, inside, the Rangers all came in and walked towards Udonna, who was standing at the back near the cauldron.
"Udonna, something weird is going on." Madison explained, before they ran up the steps.
"We just have a close encounter with Nercolai." Xander added, as they stopped near her. (Susan was on Madison's right)
"She was looking for someone called the Gatekeeper." Chip explained.
Udonna lifted her head up.
"Do you have any clue who she's talking about?" Nick asked.
"Yeah, I mean, she left us confused back there." Susan explained.
Udonna turned to them all.
"The Gatekeeper..." she began, walking past Xander and Vida. "...was a powerful sorceress named Niella."
She stopped near the Xenotome and turned around.
"She was my sister." she explained.
(Flashback)
During the last battle of the Great War, Udonna sat against a ruined wall, as Niella stood near her, before she turned right. She wore white robes with a purple Keffiyeh, with purple cloak bits down the front and back of her robes, while she had brown armor bits on her chest, and a silver metal headband, while holding a staff with a blue gem on top, and two horn shapes. She saw the Red Wizard charging at the gate with his sword, as the gate began to close, before she began to chase after him.
"Stay back!" he roared, turning around and holding his hand up, his face covered in shadow.
"NOO!" Niella cried, shaking her head.
"Seal the gate with a spell! It is the only way!" the Wizard said.
The gate closed up, before Niella sighed and held up her staff, as that and her headband glowed.
"Niella cast a spell that sealed the gate and banished Morticon and his armies to the Underworld."
"AHH!" Niella cried painfully.
The giant circle lock on the gate sealed itself magically.
"The spell was so strong, that it depleted all of her lifeforce."
Niella stopped the spell, before she passed out and began to fall onto her chest. Udonna got up frantically and ran towards her, as her robes and headband hit the ground, her body gone.
"NIELLA!" she cried.
"When the gate was lowered to the depths, Niella was gone."
Udonna crouched down near her sister's robes, before she looked up, as the gate lowered itself down to the Underworld.
(Flashback ends)
The Rangers all stared at Udonna, shocked and saddened by the story, Susan with tears in her eyes.
"But her spirt lives on in my heart, and through the legacy of her heir." Udonna explained.
"She had a child?" Madison inquired, as Susan wiped her tears.
"Yes, and I fear that is who Nercolai is seeking." Udonna deduced.
"So we have to find the child first and protect them." Vida realized.
"You won't have to look far." Udonna assured. "Niella's daughter and the heir to the Gatekeeper's power, is Clare."
Clare became visible by the steps, looking nervous.
"Uh..." she muttered, as everyone turned to her, the Rangers speechless.
Later, in the Underworld, the Centaurus Wolf Megazord's eyes lit up as it stood in a cavern, with purple magic flowing through it, a apell aeal beneath it.
"Yes, I can feeling the Dark Magic you have given me, Master." Koragg said, as the eye on the shield glowed.
The shield closed, before he jumped out of the Centaurus Wolf Megazord, then landed on the ground.
"Ah." he said.
The spell seal beneath him began to shrink him down to normal size, just as Nercolai's hand came onto a wall from a passage.
"Koragg..." she said.
Koragg turned to her as she stepped in, leaning against the wall.
"...I beg you for help." she said.
"Why should I help you?" Koragg asked, approaching her.
"Together, I know we can draw the Gatekeeper out." Nercolai reasoned.
"Yes. The Master will be pleased if the Gatekeeper is found." Koragg agreed.
"Then you will help me?" Nercolai inquired.
Koragg held up his shield as the eye popped open.
"I bestow his Dark Magic upon you." he said, shooting a beam from the eye.
The beam hit Nercolai, making her body hit hear with redness and stream.
"Ah!" she yelped, clutching herself. "Ah, yes! It is working."
She looked at her left hand, as her nails began to extend out, followed by the claws on her chest
"I have never felt such power!" she said happily.
She laughed as her fangs extended down slightly, before she steam around her vanished, then she jumped up and twirled around, before she flew around in circles.
"Use this power against the Rangers." Koragg instructed, before he turned around. "I will attack on another front. This will certainly draw the Gatekeeper out."
Meanwhile, in the Rock Porium, Madison walked over to the others with three CDs, all still not believing what they'd found out earlier.
"I just can't believe it." she said, as Vida turned to her with a record. "Clare has legendary powers strong enough to lock away the forces of evil?"
Susan and the boys all turned to them both, Xander tossing an orange up. (Susan was between Vida and Nick)
"Or unlock them." Nick added, who put a record away in a box shelf.
"Talk about a big burden." Susan said. "The way we've seen Clare, she doesn't sound like her mother was."
"No, she doesn't." Xander agreed.
"Guys, guys." Toby said, entering the store, getting their attention. "You're never gonna believe what happened to me today? I actually met..."
The Rangers morphers beeped, making Xander toss his orange to Chip, who caught it.
"Sorry, boss. I gotta take this, eh." Xander said, taking out his morpher.
He opened it up and turned around, before he walked between the sisters.
"Oh..." Toby said.
"Oh, no." Xander said, turning to the others. "It's Nercolai. She's shown up in the city plaza."
He closed up his morpher as they all looked at each other.
"Let's go." Nick said, before he ran off.
Vida and Madison put the records/CDs down, as Chip ran past Toby and handed him the orange.
"Wh-where, where you going?" Toby asked, turning around as they all ran out of the store.
Vida - who was the last out - turned around near the door.
"Oh, break, Toby." she said, pointing at him with both hands. "Back in a few."
She turned right and ran off.
"Well, don't you wanna hear about how I met the..." Toby began, before he turned away. "...Power Rangers?"
In the city, Nercolai stood in the plaza, waving her right flap with her hand.
"Ha!" she scoffed.
The Rangers all showed up morphed behind her, before they stopped and stared at her. (Susan was on Vida's left)
"Hold it right there!" Nick said.
"I'm glad you could make it, Rangers." Nercolai said.
"You're never gonna find the Gatekeeper, so give it up?" Vida advised, pointing at her.
"Oh, I have a new plan." Nercolai explained, turning around. "I'll let the Gatekeeper find me."
She snapped her left fingers, before lowering her arms.
"Someone so noble..." she said, as a claw came up on her right forearm. "...would never stand by while..."
Three claws came up on her left forearm.
"...the Rangers are being destroyed!" she declared, waving her arms, before she crossed them over in a plus shape. "Yah!"
"What?!" Nick exclaimed.
"Ah!" Madison gasped.
"Uh!" Chip yelped.
"No!" Xander gasped.
"Ah!" Susan gasped.
"D'you like my new power?" Nercolai asked, holding her left claws up.
"Like this!" Nick sneered, pointing at her, before takin out his Magi Staff. "Magi Staff!"
He crossed his legs and forearms over, before he jumped up and dived towards Nercolai, who crossed her forearms over, then shot a blast from her blades as she held her arms out.
"AH!" Nick moaned, as the blast hit his shoulder.
He hit the ground on his side, as the others ran towards him, Xander jumping over him as they gathered around him.
"Nick, you alright!" Vida gasped.
The girls helped Nick up as Xander and Chip held up their fists.
"Hyah!" Xander yelled.
"Fire!" Nercolai roared, slashing her right blade across, firing a beam from it.
The beam hit them all - Chip now holding his crossbow - making sparks come out of them all.
"AHH!" they moaned.
They all hit the ground on their backs as Nercolai laughed, Nick rolling onto his side.
"Pha." Nercolai sneered.
Meanwhile, in the forest, Clare was walking miserably towards a log, before she turned and sat down on it. She sighed and looked around, just as Udonna showed up via magic on her right.
"Thank goodness I found you." she said, getting Clare's attention.
"Ah!" she gasped.
"What are you doing out here alone?" Udonna asked.
"Nothing." Clare replied.
"I don't blame you for being upset with me." Udonna assured.
"It's just no fair, Udonna." Clare said. "Being the Gatekeeper is my legacy. You can't keep that power from me forever?"
"Clare, there are things you just don't understand." Udonna said.
"I understand." Clare sobbed. "You don't think I can handle it, because... I'm incompetent, bumbling and clumsy and I..."
"Exactly as your mother was." Udonna said.
Clare looked at her confused.
"You are so much like her." Udonna assured.
"But I thought that she was a great sorceress?" Clare questioned.
"Oh, she was, but...not at first. In fact, she blew up our cottage quite a few times trying to get her spells right." Udonna explained.
"Then why can't-" Clare began.
"I promised her to always keep you from harm." Udonna said. "I've tried my best to keep that promise."
"And you have. I couldn't have asked for a better protector, or a better Aunt." Clare sobbed.
"Someday, you'll be ready to take on your mother's legacy." Udonna promised. "But not today."
Clare nodded, just as a spell seal showed up nearby, which Koragg emerged from.
"We meet again, sorceress." he said.
Udonna and Clare both turned to him.
"Stand back, Clare." Udonna instructed, holding her hand out.
Both girls got up as they stared at Koragg, before Clare turned around and ran off.
"Leave her alone, wizard!" Udonna demanded.
"What use would I have for that silly girl?" Koragg questioned. "I've come for you."
Udonna took out her wand and cast a spell from it, but Koragg caught it with his hand, then sent it back at her.
"Ah!" Udonna groaned, dropping her wand.
Koragg sniggered. "Your magic is weak without the power of your Snow Staff." he said.
He held up his fist, then extended his fingers out, casting a spell which trapped Udonna inside a sphere.
"Ah!" she yelped, as it shrank itself and her.
"Udonna!" Clare gasped.
The sphere floated towards Koragg.
"With all of the protectors of the Human world in our grasp..." he said, catching the sphere. "...surely the Gatekeeper will step forward."
Clare picked up Udonna's wand in anger, then turned to Koragg.
"Let her go!" she demanded.
She tried to cast a spell from the wand, but the end of it only glowed, making her put it down.
"Nice try, apprentice." Koragg scoffed.
He laughed as a spell seal opened up beneath him, dragging him and Udonna beneath it.
"Ah! Ah!" Clare gasped.
Back in the city, the Rangers all surrounded Nercolai, before Nick spun around and moved away, holding his sword, as Xander jumped and spun around to kick her, but missed as she ducked. She ducked again as Madison spun around to kick her, then blocked a punch from Chip with her right blade, while also blocking one from Xander with her left forearm, before they both spun around and moved away. She then jumped slightly as Susan tried to tackle her from behind, then she spun around and tried to kick Nick, but missed as he ducked, then she turned and tried to whack Madison with her right blade, but missed as she ducked.
She turned slightly as Susan sent a punch at her, but missed as she ducked, then the Rangers all spun around, before she sent a kick at Madison, who did a sideways handspring to her left. She ducked slightly as Nick tried to slash her from behind, then Vida tried to tackle her, but missed as she jumped backwards, gilding away, before she landed near some tables. Chip jumped and tried to punch her, but missed as she dodged, before she grabbed his arm, then she threw him away.
"AHH!" he yelled, before he hit a table and rolled off it.
Nick tried to stab her with his sword, but missed as she dodged, then she knocked his arm down, making him flip forward, before she kicked him away.
"AH!" he yelled.
Nercolai jumped and spun around, kicking Madison's side, flipping her onto her back, then she turned as Susan tried to kick her, but she knocked her leg down with her right hand, then slashed her across the chest with her left blades.
"AH!" she moaned, flipping backwards onto her chest.
Nercolai ducked as Xander and Chip tried to punch her from either side, then she blocked one from Chip with her left hand, then blocked another from Xander with her right blade. She then ducked as he tried again, then jumped up and kicked him, while slashing Chip with her right blade, knocking them both down, before she landed on the ground. Susan and Madison both got up as she jumped and tried to fly kick Vida, who backed away and blocked it with her hands, then Nercolai turned around, as Xander and Susan both spun around to kick her, but missed as she jumped up.
She landed on a table, which Nick got off of, then she jumped off it as Madison spun around to trip her up, as Chip ran onto the table. She landed on another one as Chip jumped down from his, before she looked at all the Rangers, then she jumped up and split kicked Xander and Chip's fists as they tried to punch her, knocking them both away.
"Ah!" Chip yelped.
Nercolai landed on the table, then she jumped up and twirled around, before she landed on the ground, then she slashed Vida's chest with her right blade.
"Ah!" she moaned, before Nercolai slashed Nick and Madison with it.
"Ah!" Nick moaned.
They both back flipped away and hit the ground on their chest/back respectfully.
"Ah!" Madison moaned.
Nercolai turned and ducked as Susan spun around to kick her, before she slashed Susan up across the chest with her right blade.
"AH!" Susan moaned, as she turned around, hitting the ground on her chest.
Nercolai spun around and waved her blades out, knocking Chip aside, as Xander tried to punch her, before she hit his hand.
"Ah!" he moaned, flipping onto his back.
Nick and Madison pulled themselves up, before Nercolai slashed her right blade out, sending a beam at them both, but they both jumped up before it could hit them.
"Whoa!" they yelped.
They both landed on a balcony and stared down at Nercolai, who turned and fired beams from her right blade at the others.
"Ah!" the boys yelped, as they hit them.
Chip went flying to his right, Xander to his left, while Vida and Susan got knocked backwards.
"AH!" they cried, hitting the ground on their backs.
They turned onto their sides, Vida her right, Susan her left, as Nercolai turned to Nick and Madison. She fired a beam from her right blade, which hit the balcony as they both jumped off it, making sparks come from it.
"Yah!" Nercolai screeched, jumping up.
She dived towards the two Rangers, then she hit Madison's right arm with her left claws, then knocked Nick's sword up with her right, then she waved both her arms up, knocking them both away. They all landed on the ground on their feet, then Madison sent a fly kick at Nercolai, who blocked it with her hands, then Nercolai ducked as Madison tried to whack her, as Nick slashed his sword at her., before she turned and knocked Madison away.
"Uh!" Madison moaned.
She hit the ground and rolled away.
Nercolai ducked as Nick tried to slash her, then she blocked his sword with her right hand, before she kicked the back of his leg, knocking him up.
"AH!" he moaned, flipping backwards as he dived forward.
He hit the ground on his back near Madison, as the others got up near her. Nercolai turned around to them all, just as Chip and Xander jumped up and dived towards her.
"Hyah!" they yelled.
They both dived to kick her, but she grabbed both their feet, before she knocked their legs up.
"AH!" they yelled.
They spun around and dived away, before they hit the ground, Chip on his side, who rolled over, Xander on his back.
Later, in Root Core, Clare ran into the main room frantically.
"Rangers, help? Udonna's been captured!" she said frantically.
She looked at the Crystal Ball, seeing the fight at the plaza through it.
"Oh, no!" she gasped.
In the city, the Rangers all stared at Nercolai as they lay on the ground, the boys on their sides, the girls on their backs, all clutching themselves. (Susan was near Chip and Vida)
"Foolish, Rangers." she sneered, laughing.
Nick pulled himself up. "You're the fool if you think I'm giving up!" he roared. "Hyah!"
He began charging at Nercolai, who spun around and fired beams from her blades at him, but he deflected them with his sword.
"You'll never get the Gatekeeper while we're around!" he roared.
He rolled forward and kicked her right arm up, then blocked her left blades with his sword, then he blocked her right with it. She then slashed him twice across the chest with her left blades, then spun around and slashed him with her right, knocking him back.
"Oh!" he moaned.
He clutched his chest as Nercolai crossed her blades over, then crouched down and slashed them out, creating an X shaped beam which shot towards Nick.
"AH!" he moaned, as it hit him and sent him flying away. "AHH!"
He hit the ground and rolled over onto his chest near the others.
"Nick!" Vida gasped.
Nercolai got up and held up her right blade.
"Ah!" Nick moaned.
"Agh!" Vida groaned.
"Ugh!" Susan moaned.
"Uh!" Chip moaned, reaching out.
"AHH!" Xander groaned.
In Root Core, Clare kept staring at the Crystal Ball.
"Ah!" Madison moaned.
"I don't know what to do?" Clare said helplessly.
She looked up and saw her mother's headband floating over a spell book.
A little later, in the city, Nercolai stared at the Rangers.
"You're beat, and no one has come to save you." she said. "Maybe there is no other Gatekeeper."
A blast suddenly hit her in the chest.
"AHH!" she screamed.
She stumbled away, before she turned around and looked up.
"What?!" she exclaimed.
She saw Clare running towards the scene, magic coming from her left hand, before she lowered it.
"Wrong, Nercolai! My mother's spirt lives inside me!" Clare declared.
"Whoa!" the Rangers gasped, turning to her.
"Clare!" Nick yelled.
Clare looked down, lifting up her mother's headband, before she turned to the Rangers, who pulled themselves up. She lifted the headband up and put it on her head, then lowered her hands. The center of the headband glowed as a Moon came up behind her, before she changed into her mother's robes.
"Power of the shining Moon!" she shouted, waving her arms, before she held them both to her right - her left near her chest. "Behold, the Gatekeeper!"
She held up her left hand near the right side of her face - her front two fingers up - before she lowered her arms.
"Incredible." Nick said amazed.
"The Oracle was right." Nercolai sneered, clutching her right fist.
(The Underworld)
The Master's circle changed red.
"The Gatekeeper has been found." Morticon said, approaching it.
Lighting came out of the circle, before the Master's eye appeared in it.
"AHH!" he roared, shaking the room.
In his chamber, Koragg turned around, feeling the Master's words.
"She is here." he said.
(The city)
Clare glared at Nercolai.
"So, there is another? And my plan to draw you out has worked perfectly." Nercolai said, pointing at her, before she waved her right flap.
"You're going to regret ever meeting me, witch." Clare swore.
She held out her right hand, then her mother's staff appeared in her hand.
"Yah!" Nercolai roared, slashing her right blade, firing a beam from it.
"Ha!" Clare yelled, holding the staff up.
A circular shaped shield came out of it, which blocked the beam
"NO!" Nercolai cried, shocked.
Clare's eyes glowed, before she waved her staff around.
"Ha!" she yelled, aiming it.
A magical beam light shot out from it, which hit Nercolai.
"AHH!" she cried, her hands over her face.
Her blades on her forearms vanished with the light.
"Ah!" she growled, falling to her knees. "My new powers, they've gone!"
She got up and rubbed her forearms.
Clare held her staff up slightly with one hand, as the Rangers ran towards her.
"Clare, all right!" Chip whooped.
"Yeah!" Nick said.
"Nice work, Clare." Susan remarked.
"Way to go, Clare." Nick said.
"You did it." Vida said.
Clare nodded, before they all turned to Nercolai.
"Let's give her a hand, Rangers." Nick said, punching his fist.
The others held their right fists up, before they all jumped up, as a Moon appeared behind them.
"Ah!" Nercolai gasped, looking up.
Nick and Susan both somersaulted forward, while Chip and Madison did so past them on their right, while Xander and Vida did the same on their left.
"Yah!" they yelled.
Nercolai gasped as they all dived down towards her, kicking her at the same time, sending her flying away.
"AH!" she moaned.
She hit the ground and rolled over, as the Rangers landed crouched down, before they got up.
"All right!" Nick said.
"You will still lose, Rangers!" Nercolai promised, getting up, clutching her chest. "Ah!"
She turned around and jumped up, spreading her wings out before she flew away.
"I'll return!" she roared.
The Rangers looked up at her, before Nick turned away.
"Yeah." he said, holding up his fist.
He turned and ran towards Clare, followed by the others.
"Yeah." Madison said, holding up her fists.
"Great job, Clare." Chip remarked.
"You were amazing back there." Susan remarked.
"Knarly." Xander remarked.
"That was great." Nick said.
"There's no time for that. Udonna's been captured." Clare explained.
(Underworld)
Koragg stood in his chamber, laughing as he held Udonna's sphere, before he let go of it, then turned left.
"Hear me, Red Ranger." he said. "Hear me?"
(The city)
"AH!" Nick yelped, touching the sides of his helmet.
Everyone turned to him.
"You will tell the Gatekeeper to battle me alone." Koragg instructed.
(Underworld)
"If she does not come, your sorceress will perish." Koragg warned.
(The city)
Nick panted.
"Nick, what is it?" Vida asked.
"What does Koragg want?" Susan asked.
"He wants to fight you, alone." Nick explained, approaching Clare.
"I accept." Clare said.
In the Underworld, Koragg's shield eye popped open as he stood over a spell seal, before black waves of magic shot away from him.
"I am filled with your dark magic, master." Koragg said, as the waves went into him, before he took out his sword. "And ready to do your bidding."
In the main room, the Master's eye appeared in the circle.
Later, in Root Core, Nick stood by the table, as the other Rangers came towards him, all unmorphed. (Susan was between Chip and Madison)
"We shouldn't have let Clare go on her own." Madison said.
"You saw how she sent Nercolai running." Vida recalled.
"Yeah." Nick said, before he turned around. "But Koragg's a whole other story."
They all stared at the Crystal Ball, showing Clare meeting Koragg at a quarry.
At the quarry, Koragg stared at Clare as he approached her.
"So, it was you all along?" he said, surprised.
Clare stopped and glared at him.
"Ha!" she yelled, holding her staff up.
Laser beams shot from it, which hit the ground behind Koragg, creating explosions, but he only laughed.
"Ah!" Clare growled.
"But now you have real power." Koragg noted.
"I want Udonna back, now!" Clare demanded.
"Not until I get to see the legendary magic of the Gatekeeper." Koragg said.
"As you wish." Clare smirked.
She waved her staff around, then aimed it at him.
"Hyah!" she yelled, before she charged forward. "AHH!"
"Fire!" Koragg yelled, opening up his shield's eye.
He fired his Wolf Attack at Clare, which hit and created an explosion behind her, then he charged forward. He blocked the end her staff with his shield, then blocked the pole end of it, before he backed away as she tried again with the staff end, before they both jumped up.
"Hyah!" she yelled.
She tried to stab Koragg repeatedly as he dived away, before she managed to hit him in the chest. They both turned near a cliff face, landing on it, then Koragg blocked the end of her staff with his right hand, then blocked the pole end with his shield, then the other end with his hand again. He then whacked the end of her staff with his forearm, knocking her down as he jumped after her.
"AH!" Clare groaned. "Ah!"
She held her arms out and gilded away, before Koragg jumped up and dived after her, before they landed on their feet. He blocked her staff with his shield, then he dodged as she tried to slash him with it.
"Ah!" he growled, blocking another with his shield.
He then blocked the pole end with his shield, before she jumped up and kicked his shield.
"Yah!" she yelled.
Koragg dived away and landed on his feet, as Clare aimed her staff at him.
"Yah!" she yelled.
The end of her staff extended out and hit Koragg, sending him flying away.
"Oh!" he moaned.
He spun around as he landed on the ground, as Clare landed on the ground and turned around, glaring at him.
"Ha!" she yelled, aiming her staff.
Her eyes glowed, before she waved her staff around.
"Ha!" she yelled, aiming it.
A magical beam light shot out from it, which hit Koragg, who raised his shield up, creating an explosion behind him.
"AGH!" he moaned, before smoke came up in front of him.
He skidded away slightly, before he stopped.
"She is strong." he noted, impressed.
"Ah!" Clare growled, holding her staff up.
She turned it slightly, then slashed it down against the ground, sending a magical beam across it, which hit Koragg.
"AH!" he moaned, as an explosion came up around him.
Clare stared at it, just as Koragg opened up the eye on his shield, absorbing the blast as he laughed.
"Impossible?!" Clare exclaimed.
"Quite impressive, I must confess." Koragg admitted.
On the cliff face, Nercolai was watching the battle with her arms folded.
"What are you waiting for, Koragg?" she hissed impatiently, waving her right flap. "Get her!"
Koragg held his sword across his shield, opening up the eye.
"Wolf Attack!" he shouted, firing it.
Clare held up her staff, creating a shield, which the Wolf Attack hit.
"AH!" she grunted.
The eye on Koragg's shield lit up, allowing the Wolf Attack to shatter Clare's shield.
"AHH!" she moaned, flying away.
She hit the ground on her side and rolled over.
"Ah!" she moaned, turning around.
"That's power." Koragg said.
Clare pulled herself up and panted.
"I'm through playing." she said.
She held up her staff, then waved it around in a circle.
"Magic of the shining Moon warrior!" she shouted.
She put the pole end of her staff against the ground, before she transformed into an armored form of her robes, complete with silver and purple on the robes, and a face mask cloth, which had been her mother's Ancient Mystic Mode.
"Ha!" she yelled, crossing her forearms over, before spreading her arms out. "Yah!"
She grew giant as Koragg looked up at her.
"Now it's a real battle." he said.
He jumped up as a large spell seal came in front of him, which he dived into it, making him grow giant.
"Sumbol Unithos Equestras!" he shouted.
Catastros' head neighed as it rose up, then its back legs retracted out and went over the front ones, forming some boots, while the body formed a waist. The top of the back legs rose up over the body, then twirled around and went out, forming some arms and shoulders. Koragg dived down and landed between them, then the samurai/knight shaped helmet appeared over him, before the eye on his shield opened up.
"Centaurus Wolf Megazord!" he shouted.
"Fire!" Clare shouted, aiming her staff.
The Centaurus Wolf Megazord slashed its lance out, firing a blast, which hit Clare's, locking them together.
"Ah!" they growled, as an explosion went off between them.
Clare charged forward and slashed the Centaurus Wolf Megazord across the chest with her staff as she ran past it.
"Ah!" Koragg moaned.
Clare turned around and fired a laser beam from her staff.
"Laser rope!" she shouted, as it wrapped around the Centaurus Wolf Megazord.
"NO!" Koragg gasped.
"Could she defeat the mighty Koragg?" Nercolai questioned, shocked as she clutched her fist.
Clare held up her staff, then spun it around in a circle.
"Full Moon blaze!" she shouted, creating a moon shaped beam. "Hyah!"
She slashed her staff out, sending the beam at the Centaurus Wolf Megazord like a boomerang.
"It won't be that easy!" Koragg roared.
The Centaurus Wolf Megazord's eyes glowed, before its shield eye glowed, then it raised its arms up and broke free of the laser rope. It then blocked the blaze boomerang with its lance, stumbling back as it did so, before it pushed forward and shattered the blaze.
"Huh? What?!" Clare exclaimed.
The Centaurus Wolf Megazord's shield eye glowed, before it held its lance sideways.
"No more holding back." Koragg said.
Lighting shot behind the Centaurus Wolf Megazord, as black magic went into its, then it twirled it around 180 degrees as lighting hit the end.
"Witness the strength of the Master himself!" Koragg declared.
The Centaurus Wolf Megazord held its lance up, then moved it to its left.
"Dark Magic strike!" Koragg yelled.
The Centaurus Wolf Megazord slashed its lance from left to right, hitting Clare.
"AHHH!" she screamed, as an explosion went off behind her.
Purple lighting shot from the sky, as light magic engulfed her, before she returned to normal size near a industrial site.
"Ah!" she yelled.
She began to fall down, turning back into herself, before hitting the ground on her side.
"Ah!" she moaned, clutching her chest.
She looked up as Koragg landed in front of her, before she sat up as he took out his sword.
"It's over." he said, before he approached her.
(Root Core)
The Rangers all watched via the Crystal Ball, before Nick sighed.
(The city)
Clare stared at Koragg, as Nercolai landed on a scaffold nearby, looking down at them as she sniggered.
"Ah!" Clare gasped, as Koragg laughed.
"You will open the gate, and the Underworld will rise." Koragg said.
"Never!" Clare roared.
"I said 'Do it'!" Koragg snarled, raising his sword up.
He moved to slash her as she turned away, just as Chip jumped up on his left, holding his crossbow.
"Koragg!" he yelled, firing it.
"Ah!" Koragg yelped, as the blast hit his hand. "What?!"
He turned left as Vida jumped up and waved her Magi Staff from left to right.
"Hyah!" she yelled, shooting magic dust from it.
It hit Koragg as he raised his shield up, knocking him back slightly, before she landed on the ground, crouched down. She got up and turned around, as the other Rangers - minus Nick - gathered around her, before Clare turned to them. (Susan was on Madison's left)
"Rangers?" Clare said.
"You got it." Chip said.
"Ha!" Vida yelled, lowering her right arm.
"Hyah!" Madison yelled.
"Yah!" Susan yelled.
"Ha!" Xander said.
"Do not interfere!" Koragg demanded.
The Rangers stared at him, just as Nick jumped up behind them all.
"Hyah! Mystic Force Fighters!" he shouted, bringing them out.
He punched them together as Chip and Xander both held up a hand, which he landed on, before they boosted him up.
"Spin attack!" he shouted, shooting up as fire surrounded him.
He began back flipping repeatedly in the air, before he dived down and twirled around, holding his fighters in front of him. He dived down towards Koragg and hit him before he could raise his shield, knocking him away.
"AH!" he moaned.
He went flying away, as Nick landed on the ground and skidded forward.
"Pick on someone your own size?" he sneered.
Clare smiled, when Nercolai came up behind her and grabbed her arm, pulling her up.
"Ah!" she gasped, turning around.
She tried to move away, but Nercolai kept hold of her, before she held her like a Human shield.
Nick - now without his fighters - turned to her, as the other Rangers gathered around him.
"Clare?!" he gasped.
They all began to run forward, before Koragg got in front of them all.
"Stop!" he said.
"Let her go?" Nick demanded.
Nercolai held Clare up.
"AH!" Clare screamed.
"By the power of the Gatekeeper, let the gate rise up!" Nercolai commanded.
"AGHH!" Clare screamed, as her headband glowed.
"Ah!" Koragg moaned, turning and raising his left arm up.
"Ah!" Nick moaned, as the Rangers raised their arms up to shield their visors.
"AHH!" Clare screamed, as a beam shot towards the sky.
The sky began to darken, before Nercolai threw Clare aside.
"AH!" she yelped, before she fell against a barrel. "Uh!"
"Clare?!" Xander gasped.
"What's going on?" Nick questioned, looking up.
"Oh, no!" Madison gasped.
"This can't be good." Susan gulped.
The ground began to shake, before the giant gate to the Underworld began to rise up, getting everyone's attention
"The gate?" Koragg said.
Nercolai laughed as the gate kept rising up.
"Man?" Nick gasped.
"Oh, no!" Vida gasped.
"Oh, boy." Chip gulped.
"Look!" Xander said.
"Whoa!" Madison gasped.
"Oh, my gosh!" Susan gasped.
"Ah!" Clare gasped.
The Rangers all ran towards her as the gate fully rose up, before they all Clare all stared at it.
"Oh, man! Now what?" Nick said.
They all stared at the gate, not sure what they were gonna do now.
