A/N: Here's the first appearance of Daggeron, and this is another of my favourites MF episodes.
Please read and review?
Shoutouts:
WindNinja23: It depends of the series, as several prevent those kind of things.
ValLopezSPD: Your first two I can consider for some Rangers, but not the third as Green, Black and Gold are not colors I can use, which you'll see in later seasons. As for your fourth, that's a no, for if I decide to do two Rangers, the second has to be an extra, not one of the main six or the seventh Ranger, like in Jane's case. I can do siblings just not twins in that case.

In the Underworld, Imperious stood by the throne.
"Now that I'm back from that awful cave, I shall call my old friend Jester." he said, approaching the Master's circle.
He waved his fan around, before the end of it glowed.
"He knows how to make trouble." he said, spinning around.
"Hmm?" Nercolai muttered, watching, her rigt hand on her chin.
"Come forth, Jester!" Imperious commanded, stopping.
He pointed his fan at a wall, which a spell seal then appeared on. A purple and white gremlin and jester-like monster came out, who had red diamonds near his ears, while his ears were silver and pointy, and had arms that resembled elastrics.
"I'm free." he said, landing crouched down. "I'm alive."
"Now that I have freed you, you will do as I command." Imperious instructed.
"Yes, sire." Jester understood, bowing.
"I have chosen you for a very important mission." Imperious explained, walking slightly, before he pointed his fan at Jester. "You will use dark magic to reek havoc in the city."
He held his fan up, before the end glowed.
"Take this." he said.
"Yes." Jester understood, as a pen appeared in his hand, which he held up. "I think I know just what you have in mind."
He laughed as Imperious turned away.
"Excellent." Imperious said, holding his fan up.
A spell seal appeared over Jester, which went over him, making him vanish.
"What about the Rangers, Imperious?" Nercolai asked. "They must be destroyed."
"I know that Morticon was a powerful warrior, but I am powerful as well." Imperious assured.
He approached the Master's circle and bowed before it.
"My plan will not only destroy the city, it will undermine the Power Rangers." he explained.
The Master's circle lit up.
"That I pledge to you, o powerful one." Imperious promised, holding his fan up.
Meanwhile, in Root Core, the Rangers all stood together at the back with Udonna, Madison wearing a blindfold, while the rest stood around her.
"Trust is the key to any team." Udonna explained, as Vida moved Madison forward. "In order to truly trust each other, you must be willing to put your safety in the hands of the team."
Nick steadied Madison as Xander waved his hand.
"Are you ready, Madison?" Udonna asked, as Nick clicked his fingers.
"I think so." Madison said.
"There you go." Nick said, as he and Xander backed away.
"Slowly fall forward." Udonna explained. "Your team will catch you."
Madison fell forward towards Nick and Xander, who both caught her, then pushed her upright. Chip, Susan and Vida prepared themselves behind Madison, when Clare walked by, holding Fire Heart, who was wrapped in a blanket.
"Oh! There's a good boy, Fire Heart." Clare cooed.
"Awe." all but Susan said.
They all ran off after Clare, before Madison fell backwards, Susan barely catching her, making them both fall onto the floor.
"Whoa!" they yelped, as Udonna came over. "Ah!"
Fire Heart cooed as Clare walked down some steps with him, holding a large bottle filled with yellow liquid. The other Rangers all came up beside her, Vida starting to coo, as Udonna helped Madison up, who took off her blindfold and turned around.
"Oh, that's trust for ya." she said sadly, as Susan got up. "At least I can trust you, Sue."
"Hey, I don't get distracted easily during training." Susan assured.
"Yes, you are." Clare cooed.
Udonna walked over towards the others, who all grinned and smiled.
"Yes, you're so beautiful." Clare said.
A noise came from the Crystal Ball, making everyone turn to it.
"Dark magical energy is admitting from the forest." Udonna realized.
She and the Rangers - minus Madison and Susan - all gathered around the table, staring at the Crystal Ball, seeing a dark cloud in it.
"We'll check it out." Nick said.
He, Xander, Chip and Vida all turned and ran off, just as Susan and Madison reached the table.
"What?" Madison said.
"Uh, Maddie." Susan said, patting her arm.
"Oh..." Madison said.
She took her blindfold off fully as they both ran after the others.
"Ooh. Do you need to burp, little guy?" Clare asked.
Fire Heart burped smoke from his mouth, which hit Clare's face, covering it in soot.
"Oh!" she gasped, coughing.
A little later, the Rangers were in the forest, running past several trees as they looked around, Xander holding a stick. On a tree branch in front of them, was the frog from the cave where they'd found Jenji's lamp. (Susan was on Xander's left)
"It's quiet." Nick noted, as they slowed to a walk.
"Almost too quiet." Chip joked, making the others look at him. "Sorry, always wanted to say that."
"I bet you have?" Susan said sarcastically.
Vida stopped and looked around as the others kept on walking.
"I get the feeling..." she began.
A figure in gold and blue knight like armor, with spikes on his head and red eyes, came out from behind a tree and turned to them.
"Who goes there?" he demanded.
The Rangers all turned around to him.
"Like we're being watched." Vida finished.
"What brings you children into these dangerous woods?" the creature asked.
"Give us a sec and we'll show you." Nick said, stepping forward.
"Ha!" the Rangers yelled, holding up their forearms.
They all charged at the creature, who charged back, then Nick jumped up and dived past him. He dodged as Vida jumped past and sent a fly kick at him, as Nick landed behind him, then he turned and ducked as Madison tried to punch him. He turned and blocked a kick from Xander with his hand, then ducked as Xander tried to punch him, then he turned and blocked one from Madison with his right forearm, then ducked to avoid another. He turned and blocked one from Xander with his left arm, then dodged another, before grabbing Xander's right forearm.
"AH!" Vida growled, charging at him.
The creature turned to her, then kicked her side, knocking her back, before he kicked the back of Xander's leg, tripping him up and knocking him into the air. He turned to Chip and Susan, kicking the former's chest, knocking him down, then he turned and kicked Xander as he dived down.
"AH!" Xander moaned.
"Xander!" Susan cried.
Xander dived towards Nick and Madison, who both caught him, before they all spun around.
The creature turned to Susan, then ducked as she spun around to kick her, but missed as he ducked, then he blocked a punch from her with her right arm. She then dodged as he tried to kick her, before she spun around and tripped her up, knocking her onto her back.
"OH!" she moaned.
"AH!" Vida yelled, jumping up.
She spun around to kick the creature, but missed as he ducked, then he jumped as Nick skidded down and tried to trip him up. Nick looked up as the creature landed on his feet, then Nick jumped and spun around to kick him, but he blocked Nick's foot by wrapping his left arm around it. Nick looked at him, before he hit Nick's leg with his right hand, sending him flying away.
"WHOA! AH!" Nick groaned, hitting the ground on his back.
The Rangers all got up and gathered together, then backed away as the creature spun around to kick them all. (Susan was between the sisters) They all reached for their morphers, when Udonna came walking towards them all.
"Wait?" she called.
The Rangers all turned to her.
"Watch out!" Nick warned, pointing at her, then the creature. "He's evil."
The others turned to the creature, as Udonna smiled.
"No, he's not. He's an old friend." she explained, as the Rangers turned to her.
"What?" Susan muttered, as they turned back, all confused.
The creature lowered his arms as his body lit up, before he transformed into a young, blonde-haired man with a whiskers on his face, wearing black knights robes, with bits of red and white on, the creature having been his Ancient Mystic mode.
"Udonna?" he said.
"Calindor." Udonna said happily. "You haven't aged a day."
"I'll explain later." Calindor assured.
"These are the Mystic Rangers." Udonna explained, motioning to them as she moved to her right.
Calindor bowed with his right arm out.
"The forest will forever be in your debt." he assured.
"Who is this guy?" Madison inquired.
"A great warrior." Udonna explained.
She and Calindor turned and hugged each other.
"And an old friend." he said.
They pulled apart, just as the frog landed on Madison's shoulder.
"Hey, I'm Nick." Nick said, approaching them.
He and Calindor shook hands.
"Vida." Vida said. "Hi."
"Susan." Susan said.
Unknown to anyone, Phineas was peeking out from a nearby bush, staring at them all.
"Oh, boy. Oh...Oh..." he muttered. "Oh, no!"
He panicked as he turned around and ran off.
A little later, in the city, Jester was in a parking lot, as several people ran away.
"Run!" he sneered happily.
A bunch of lighting bolts hit the ground, making sparks come up from it, before he jumped up onto a car's roof.
"It looks like a nice place for some tomfoolery." he joked.
He laughed as he waved his arms up and down, as people kept running off, before he jumped towards them.
"Oh, no!" a woman gasped.
Several people ducked as Jester dashed past them, getting in front of two, a white man and an Aisan woman, before he stopped and turned to them.
"Gotcha." he said.
The two people stopped, then the woman screamed as she wrapped her arm around the man's.
"You need a makeover." Jester joked, bringing out his pen, which glowed red.
He began to move quickly between them both, waving his pen around, as the woman screamed. Once finished, he jumped up over the couple, then landed behind them.
"His and hers, a prefect match." he joked.
The couple turned around to him, then to each other, showing a red moustache had been drawn onto them both.
"Ah!" the woman screamed.
They both turned to Jester, looking frightened, before they both screamed and backed away. They ran towards a railing, before turning back, but then they both fell against the railing and over it, but managed to grab it, dangling from it.
"AH!" they screamed.
"Tough luck." Jester joked.
He laughed as he approached the railing.
"Just hang out? I'll be back in a jiffy." he said, looking at the couple.
He jumped up and over the railing, before he dived towards the ground and landed on his feet, then he ran off slightly as he laughed.
Meanwhile, Udonna and the Rangers had led Calindor to Root Core, all now walking down the stairs in the back.
"The seal has been broken." Udonna explained. "Dark magic is again amongst us."
"I know." Calindor said.
Clare stood by the table, seeing Jester in the Crystal Ball.
"There's a creepy creature attacking people at the plaza." she explained, disgusted.
The Rangers all ran past Udonna and Calindor.
"Fight with honor!" Calindor told them.
The Rangers all stopped near a table and turned, then Nick took out his morpher in wand mode and lowered it.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Ready!" the others said, doing the same.
The screen split into six, Chip in the top left, Nick in the top middle, Xander in the top right, Madison in the bottom left, Susan in the bottom middle right, Vida in the bottom right, all pressing the three buttons.
"Magical Source, Mystic Force!"
(Morph sequence)
The screen split into six, the Rangers in the same spots.
Galwit Mysto Ranger
A spell shot out from their wands, creating a spell seal above each of them. They all morphed up, then they turned as their helmets came on, before doing their Mystic hand poses.
"Yah!" they shouted.
(End morph sequence)
They all ran over to their brooms and grabbed them first Vida, then Xander, Nick, Susan, Chip, and then Madison. The dragon statue's eyes lit up, then five passages opened up, which they all approached and turned around once near, all holding their brooms like before.
"Come on." Nick said.
They threw their brooms away once inside a room.
"Galwit Mysto Aerotan!" they shouted.
Their brooms turned into their Mystic Racers, which they sat on.
The screen split into six, the Rangers in the same spots.
"Firing engines!" they shouted, holding their right hands over the panel the Mystic way.
The engines of their Racers powered up.
(Outside)
The branch from the outside of Root Core lowered itself down, before the Rangers flew their Racers out of a hole and over the trees of the woods.
"Punch it!" they shouted.
"Whoo!" the boys whooped.
Meanwhile, Udonna led Calindor along the balcony stairs.
"This is Root Core, a safe haven I made built the Great Battle." she explained, walking down them. "Clare?"
Clare turned around as Udonna and Calindor approached her.
"This is Calindor. He fought beside us many years ago." Udonna explained.
Calindor walked over towards Clare.
"Oh, hello. I..." Clare said, stumbling forward. "I'm Clare.
"Yes, the bumbling servant." Calindor assumed, as Udonna approached a shelf.
"Servant? No, I'm a sorceress in training." Clare explained. "And who's bumbling?"
"Oh, excuse me, my lady?" Calindor said, bowing. "And this must be your Crystal Ball?"
He approached it as Clare turned around, looking unhappy.
"Yes. This is the one that let us know there was dark magic in the forest when they found you." Clare explained.
A dark cloud appeared in the Crystal Ball, which got bigger.
"Hey, it's showing that there's dark magic right here in Root Core!" Clare gasped, before she turned around. "Udonna!"
Udonna looked up from the Xenontome, as Calindor waved his hand over the Crystal Ball, making the cloud vanish.
"I don't see anything." he said, as he was hiding something.
Clare turned back to the Crystal Ball, as Udonna began to approach them.
"It's gone?" Clare questioned, as Udonna came between them.
"What is it?" Udonna asked.
"But...it was here." Clare swore, stuttering. "There was smoke and dark energy..."
"Could we speak, in private?" Calindor asked.
"Of course." Udonna said, turning to him.
She turned back to Clare as Calindor turned and ran towards the right steps.
"Oh, child, you must've been working too hard." Udonna said, stroking Clare's hair.
Calindor reached the top of the stairs, before he saw Jenji's lamp rattling.
"Hey, who's that out there?" Jenji called. "Huh?"
"Jenji?" Calindor grumbled, annoyed.
Jenji popped his head up from the lamp and gasped.
"Ah! Not him?" he gulped.
He ducked into the lamp as Calindor approached him.
"No!" Jenji gasped.
Clare looked annoyed as Udonna walked up the stairs.
"I know what I saw." Clare sighed, before she walked off.
Calindor picked up a book and placed it on top of the lamp, before Udonna came over.
"Hey, he just put a book on me!" Jenji complained.
"She's young, Calindor, just as we were when we met." Udonna said, touching his back.
"Calindor?!" Jenji gasped.
The book muffled his voice, preventing Udonna from hearing him.
"So, where have you been?" Udonna asked.
"I was cursed, stuck in a cave for years, not aging." Calindor explained, which was true.
"Cursed?" Udonna questioned.
"This is going to be hard to hear but, I was attacked and cursed by...Daggeron." Calindor explained, turning to her.
"Daggeron?" Udonna gasped.
"He betrayed us, Udonna." Calindor said, touching her arm.
"He's lying! I was in the cave!" Jenji argued, muffled. "Udonna!"
"I fear he scumbled to the dark magic." Calindor said.
Udonna shook her head, not believing what she was hearing.
"That can't be?" she said.
Later, in the city, Jester was laughing in a street as dozens of people ran away, his right hand now a long three-bladed claw. He got onto a car's roof, laughing as he held it out, just as the Rangers arrived.
"There he is!" Nick said. "Get him!"
They all flew their Mystic Racers over the parking lot, before they jumped off them.
"Hyah!" they yelled.
They landed in the street and ran towards Jester, as the panicked people ran past them.
"Get outta the way!" Xander said.
"Get to the safety!" Susan said.
Madison jumped and ran along a car's roof, as Jester laughed and jumped down from his car.
"Wehee! It's wrecking time!" he declared.
He turned around and sliced the car with his claw, making sparks come out of it, before he turned back.
"Yeah!" he whooped, laughing.
"The bad guys are always so obvious!" Vida said, pointing at him.
She took out her Magi Staff as the others kept charging, before she jumped up.
"Yikes!" Jester yelped.
"Ha!" Vida yelled, shooting magic beams from her Magi Staff. "Magi Staff!"
Jester held up his claw, then sank beneath the ground before the beams hit him. Vida landed crouched down, then got up and ran towards the car, as the others gathered around her.
"Hey, where'd he go?" she said.
Nick turned and crouched down, touching the ground as the others looked around.
"He was right here?" Nick said.
"He's gotta be around here somewhere?" Susan said.
Nick got up, just as the ground shook, and Jester popped his head up from the ground.
"Yohoo!" he called.
The Rangers all turned to him as he landed on his feet.
"The joke's on you." he sneered.
Nearby, the woman screamed as she and the man kept dangling from the railing.
"Oh!" Madison gasped, spotting them.
The woman screamed as the other Rangers looked up.
"Whoa!" the boys gasped.
"Ah!" Susan gasped.
Jester laughed as they all turned to him.
"Now what are you gonna do?" he asked.
The woman screamed as the man began to lose his grip.
"Let's play?" Jester dared, his right hand now a red hammer.
He charged at the Rangers, who charged back, then he blocked a kick from Nick with his hammer. He then banged Chip's forearm with it as Chip tried to punch him, knocking him away, then he dodged as Susan tried to kick her, before he banged her chest with his hammer, knocking her back. He ducked as Vida ran past and tried to punch him, then ducked again as Xander tried to kick him, then blocked one from Madison with his hammer, before whacking her chest with it.
"AH!" she yelped, flipping away.
She hit the ground on her back, before she got up slightly and looked at the couple.
"Hang on?" she called.
"AH!" the couple groaned.
Their hands finally slipped from the railing, causing them to fall down towards the ground.
"AHHH!" they screamed. "AHH!"
"Oh, no!" Madison gasped, getting up.
She ran past Jester and Chip, as the former made to hit the latter, but missed, then she ran past Nick and Susan, before she jumped up, as Jester shot lighting from his claw at the others.
"Whoa!" the boys yelped, as sparks came up from the ground.
"AH!" Susan groaned.
"Whoa!" Vida yelped.
Madison jumped onto a car's roof, then jumped up and away from it, diving towards the couple, before she grabbed them.
"Gotcha." she said.
She kicked her foot against the wall, then dived down towards the ground with the couple, who screamed before she put them down.
"You spoiled my fun!" Jester complained.
He turned around and ran off, as the couple did the same thing.
"Run." Madison said.
The other Rangers all got up and ran towards her.
"Now, that's how you catch someone." she said.
"Pretty impressive." Susan remarked.
"Yeah, nice job, Maddie." Nick remarked.
"Thanks." Madison said.
"We gotta find that freak." Chip said, pointing forward as he turned.
"Yeah." Xander agreed, before they all ran off.
A little later, Jester was near a industrial site, dancing near a zebra crossing, where part of a weird looking H was painted on the ground.
"The plan is working perfectly." he said.
He got onto his belly and began to finish drawing the H.
"Now, for a little art project." he said, before he finished. "That oughta do it."
He got up and put his hands on his head.
"Boy, I'm good!" he whooped. "Yeah!"
He began to walk off as he laughed.
"Stop!" Nick yelled.
He and the other Rangers all stopped and stared at Jester, before they all held up their fists or hands like choppers.
"Not you again?" Jester complained, pointing at them.
Nick stepped forward and twisted his forearms, bringing out his Mystic Force Fighters.
"You're in trouble now." he said, before putting them together. "Mystic Force Fighters!"
He waved his arms around and held them up, before he charged at Jester, who laughed spun around.
"Power punch!" Nick shouted, punching his right fist forward.
Jester sank beneath the ground before Nick could hit him, making Nick hit a barrel, which exploded, knocking him away.
"AHH!" he yelled.
He hit the ground on his back, landing on the zebra crossing.
"Nick!" Xander cried.
"NO!" Madison cried.
"Oh!" Vida and Susan gasped.
"You alright?" Chip asked.
"Yeah." Nick replied, getting up.
He turned around, just as Jester came diving in behind him, before he landed on his back, wrapping his legs around him and putting his hands on his shoulders.
"Ah!" Nick yelped.
Jester laughed before he jumped up off of Nick, then twirled around and landed on his feet. He then jumped towards Nick and kicked his gloves with both feet, knocking Nick back as he back flipped and landed on his feet.
"Whoa!" Nick yelled, diving away.
"That was a good one." Jester joked.
Chip and Xander both jumped and dived to kick Jester, who brought out his hammer.
"Have a nice trip?" he joked, whacking their feet with his hammer.
"AHH!" Xander and Chip moaned.
They both hit the ground and rolled over past the H, as the girls ran towards them.
"Bro!" Susan gasped.
"Guys!" Vida yelped.
Madison got in front of the others, as Vida helped Xander up, while Susan helped Chip up, then they stared at Jester.
"Bye-bye." he joked, diving into the ground.
"Ho!" Xander gasped, as the Rangers looked around.
Jester popped his head and shoulders up from the ground behind them, as he moved towards them all.
"Coming through." he said.
He waved his arms up, knocking the Rangers off their feet, hitting Xander and Vida with his left, the others his right.
"AH!" they yelped.
The girls hit the ground on their sides, the boys on their backs, as Nick came over to them all.
"This guy's looney!" Nick said, annoyed.
He looked up as the others got up, as Jester dived towards them, then hit them one by one with his hammer.
"AH!" Xander moaned.
"AH!" Vida yelped.
"AH!" Madison groaned.
"AH!" Chip moaned.
"AHH!" Susan groaned.
"AH!" Nick cried.
They all hit the ground as Jester landed on his feet.
"You can't stop me." he joked, turning around. "I'm Jester the Pester."
The Rangers moaned as they pulled themselves up, his right hand back to normal.
"I'd love to stay and chat, but I have work to do." Jester said.
He turned slightly and extended his right arm out, grabbing a tower support beam.
"Catch you on the flip side!" he called, as he got pulled away.
"Hey, stop?!" Nick demanded, reaching out.
"Wait?" Vida called.
"Get back here?" Susan demanded.
"NO!" Xander called.
"Ah!" Nick groaned.
Madison turned right to the H on the road.
"Look, he painted something on the ground." she said, pointing at it as the others turned. "Let's check it out."
They all ran towards the H and looked at it, before they gathered around it. (Susan was between Vida and Chip)
"Strange writing." Xander said, as Nick crouched down.
"It looks like some sort of weird H." Susan noted.
"Yeah, but what does it mean?" Nick wondered.
"I'm not sure." Susan said.
Meanwhile, in the forest, Clare was walking around in annoyance.
"Bumbling servant! Oh, he makes my blood boil!" she hissed, walking down a small hill. "And I like everyone, so that is really saying something."
She moved past a bush, lifting it up slightly, before she spun around and bumped her back against Phineas.
"AH!" he yelped.
"Whoa!" Clare gasped, before they turned to each other.
"AH!" they gasped.
"Phineas, it's just you!" Clare panted.
"He's back!" Phineas panicked. "This is bad!"
He covered his mouth.
"Who's back?" Clare asked.
"Ah..." Phineas muttered, lowering his hand and shaking his head. "No one."
Clare walked past him and waved her left hand through her hair.
"What's wrong?" Phineas asked. "You want too many stickle berries?"
"No." Clare said, turning to him.
She turned back as they began to walk off together.
"I don't trust one of Udonna's old friends, and I trust everyone." Clare explained.
"That's funny. I don't trust one of Udonna's old friends." Phineas said.
"His name is Calindor." Clare said.
"I don't trust Calindor." Phineas said.
They both stopped and turned to each other.
"What?" Phineas asked.
"You know him?" Clare asked, shocked.
"Yeah." Phineas answered.
They both looked around, seeing they were alone, before they turned back and leaned towards each other.
"Long ago, he betrayed the Mystics." Phineas explained.
"How do you know that?" Clare asked.
"Well, I was kinda there." Phineas admitted.
"Who..." Clare breathed.
"Yeah. He zapped Daggeron with like dark magic, and..." Phineas began.
Clare turned and ran off, knowing she had to warn Udonna, who was being lied too.
"What'd I say?" Phineas wondered.
He breathed into his hand.
"Oh!" he yelped, pulling his head back. "Eh."
Meanwhile, in Root Core, Calindor stood by a table in the back, as Udonna began to walk past him.
"I can't believe Daggeron betrayed us?" she said. "I trusted him. I trusted him with everything."
Calindor turned to her as she past him.
"Well, imagine my surprise? My minute, we're brethren, fighting against the encroaching Hidiacs. The next, he's attacking me." he said. "It was unexpected to say the least."
Udonna turned to him.
"And he was all alone, when he turned on you?" she asked.
"Yes... As I recall." Calindor said, turning around.
"Why didn't the Xenotome tell me?" Udonna wondered, approaching it.
"The Xenotome?" Calindor inquired, turning to her.
"This is our most powerful ally." Udonna explained, as Calindor approached her. "The Rangers powers are bestowed from this book. It is all knowing."
"There is much I need to know if I'm to help you." Calindor said, touching her back.
"You are right." Udonna said. "I'll make some tea."
She turned and began to walk off.
"Please, allow me?" Calindor asked, turning to her.
She stopped and turned to him, before he walked off past her, then she approached the Xenotome as he walked up a set of stairs.
A little later, the Rangers were in the Rock Porium, all but Xander standing around a circular shelf full of records. (Susan was between Chip and Madison)
"Guys, we gotta take care of that circus clown running amuck in the city." Nick said.
Xander came over to the others, playing a ukulele.
"Any ideas on what he's up too?" Nick asked, turning to Xander.
"Probably has something to do with that symbol." Susan guessed.
"Agreed. That symbol on the ground, I know I've seen it somewhere before." Madison said.
The frog from the forest jumped up and landed on her shoulder, which Chip, Vida and Susan spotted, Vida with her eyes wide, Chip smiling, Susan with her mouth open.
"It must have something to do with a dark seal." Madison said.
Xander came up behind her, staring at the frog.
"What?" she asked.
"It seems your prince has arrived." Xander joked quietly.
Madison turned left and saw the frog.
"AH!" she yelped, brushing it off with her hand.
"Ah!" Xander joked, moving away.
Vida laughed as Xander came up beside Susan.
"Still don't like frogs, sis?" Vida asked.
"Not since you put one down my dress when we were kids, no." Madison replied.
"That was a long time ago." Vida defended.
The frog jumped towards Madison.
"Ah!" she screamed, moving away.
"Ah!" Xander yelped, lifting his right leg up.
"Get that frog!" Nick said, pointing at it.
"Where is it?" Xander said, as Vida and Chip ran off.
"There!" Susan said, as the frog jumped away.
Madison spun around, fear on her face as she waved her hands, before Nick came over and grabbed her.
"It's over here!" he said, running past her.
All but Madison began to running around, missing the frog.
"Grab it!" Xander said.
"Where'd it go?" Susan said.
Chip began looking through a record shelf, as Nick and Vida ran past each other, Vida forcing herself to raise her arms up
"Over here!" Nick said.
"Not there." Chip said, moving away.
The frog kept bouncing around the store, as Madison whimpered while the others searched for it. She waved her arms as she turned, as Nick crouched beside her, before the frog jumped onto a CD on the counter.
"Whoa!" Xander yelped.
He moved past Madison, as Susan moved past a man, before they and Nick spotted the frog.
"Oh, there it is." Nick said.
He and the Blys all moved to grab it, but it jumped away before the boys could.
"Ah!" Chip yelled, moving past Madison.
"Ah!" she screamed, dodging as Chip ducked down.
"Over here!" Nick said.
The frog landed on a record playing on the DJ equipment, as Vida turned around.
"He's over there!" Chip said.
Vida ran towards the equipment, then moved to grab it, but as the record moved around, so did the frog.
"Ah!" she groaned, annoyed, before the frog fell off. "Ah!"
Chip ran around a shelf as Nick held up a shoe to hit the frog, but missed.
"Ah!" Madison screamed, as Xander and Susan came up behind her.
They both moved away as she turned around, while Nick moved around a circular shelf - moving it as he did - while Chip crawled past it, just as Toby came out of his office.
"Froggie!" Chip called, getting up and running off.
Nick ran to the back of the store, as Susan came out from behind the counter and ran past Toby. Nick laughed as he rolled over the back table, before Xander climbed over it after him.
"Rock 'n' roll." Toby said.
Back at Root Core, Udonna stood by the Xenotome, when Calindor came down the stairs with two goblets. She turned to him and approached him, as he stopped and turned around.
"Thank you." she said, reaching for the right one.
"Oh, no." Calindor said, pulling it back, before holding the other out. "I put some honey in this one. Just the way you like it."
Udonna smiled and took it, before he toasted his up, then she lifted hers up. She put it to her lips and began to drink, just as the door opened, and Clare came in.
"NOOO!" she cried.
Udonna lowered her goblet and turned to her, before Clare ran over to them all, then got behind Calindor as he turned, before she jumped and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Uh!" he groaned, bending down.
Udonna backed away in shock.
"Clare, what's got into you?" she asked.
"He's a liar!" Clare said. "He's the one who betrayed the Mystics!"
"Ah! Udonna, she's out of her head!" Calindor argued, waving his body around to get Clare off. "Get..."
Udonna came over as he spun around, causing Clare's leg to knock her goblet away.
"Whoa!" Clare yelped.
"Ah!" Udonna gasped.
Her goblet hit a nearby table, causing the contents to spill onto a book, making it steam.
"Ah!" Calindor gasped, staring at it.
The stream and tea turned into white foam, which covered most of the book cover.
"Ah!" Udonna gasped, seeing Clare was right.
She turned to her and Calindor.
"AH!" he growled, bending down.
Clare fell off him as he turned slightly, landing on her feet, then Udonna pulled her back as they stared at him.
"Guess the game's over!" Calindor snarled, seeing his cover was blown.
He threw his goblet away, then pulled his arms up slightly and transformed into his Ancient Mystic mode, then into Imperious.
"Surprised?" he said, laughing evilly.
Udonna held her mouth open in shock and disbelief.
"You're mine!" Imperious sneered.
He held his fan out, as Udonna held her hand out, both casting a spell, which got locked together.
"You can't overpower me without your Snow Staff, Udonna." Imperious mocked, as Udonna stumbled back.
Clare ran off slightly and hid behind the table.
"AH!" Udonna grunted, stumbling back. "I can't hold on! Clare, quick?"
Clare got up and began to think.
"Malorium Orvis." he said, as magic came out of her hands.
"AH!" Imperious yelped, as the spell hit him, making him vanish.
"Ah." Udonna sighed, lowering her hand. "Ah."
She touched her belly as Clare ran to where Imperious had been, feeling proud with herself.
"Who's bumbling now, bub?" she mocked, as Imperious showed up behind her.
"You?" he hissed.
He grabbed her by the arm and turned her around, before he pushed her towards Udonna.
"Ah!" she yelped.
"Oh!" Udonna groaned, catching her.
"Be still!" Imperious demanded, aiming his fan as the end lit up.
A magical forcefield came around Clare and Udonna, trapping them both.
"You always were a pain, Udonna." Imperious said, before he approached the Xenotome. "Without the Xenotome, the Rangers will be helpless and lost."
He reached to touch the book, but his hand got zapped back by a protection spell.
"Ah! I should've know; a protection spell." he hissed.
Dark magic began coming out of his body, which hit the spell around the Xenotome.
"Dereus Malorium." he said, as Clare and Udonna watched.
Back at the Rock Porium, the frog jumped past Madison, as the other Rangers moved past a shelf and turned to it.
"There it is." Vida said.
They all ran towards the frog, but then stopped and turned to the door as they heard a woman screaming.
"You guys here that?" Chip asked.
"Sounds like our joker is back." Susan said.
"We better check outside." Nick said, as they ran towards the door.
They all ran out of the store as the frog ribbited and jumped after them, as they heard the scream again.
In the city, Jester was standing near a building as several people ran off screaming, a man tripping over onto his back.
"Anyone wanna see a trick?" he asked, spinning around. "Guess not."
He spun around, standing near an unfinished symbol made of two ticks near each other, one smaller than the other.
"This is it." he said, before he got down and began to finish the symbol. "When the circle is complete, all Humans will be destroyed."
The Rangers all arrived and stared at him, all morphed, Madison holding her Magi Staff. (Susan was between Nick and Xander)
"Hold it, Jokester!" she shouted.
She crossed her forearms over, then aimed her Magi Staff and shot water from it, which hit Jester.
"AHH!" he yelped.
He got knocked away by the current, which also hit the symbol, washing away the ink.
"NOOO!" Jester cried.
"That's it. I know what you're trying to do." Madison said.
"You do?" Jester inquired.
Vida folded her arms as the Rangers all stared at him.
"You're writing down symbols on the ground to create a dark seal." Madison explained, holding up her left fingers.
An image of the H at the industrial site zoomed down to its part of the city, followed by a symbol resembling a triangle, with one line longer and a smaller one going through it, at a church, then a 7 symbol with a line through it at a parking lot.
"It's the same one we've seen Koragg use." Madison said.
The dark spell seal came over the city, with the tick symbol being the last point.
"But it's not gonna happen." Madison swore.
"When the seal is complete, all the Humans will be gone." Jester joked. "Try and stop me?"
He turned his right hand into his hammer and shot lighting from his mouth, hitting them all.
"AHH!" they moaned, as sparks came out of them.
They all hit the ground on their backs, Xander and Susan rolling over.
"What a joke!" Jester laughed.
Madison pulled herself up.
"This guy's going down!" she vowed. "Ha!"
She charged at Jester, who waved his hammer around.
"Bring it?" he dared.
Madison jumped up and dived towards him, before he hit her chest with his hammer, making her flip forward.
"AH! AH!" she moaned, hitting the ground on her back.
Jester turned around to her, then grabbed her by the arm and lifted her up.
"AH!" she groaned.
Nick and Xander clutched their chests while on their knees, as the other Rangers all tried to get up as they all looked at them.
"Sis!" Vida called.
"Maddie!" Susan cried.
They and Chip all fell down, before Jester threw Madison away.
"Ah!" she moaned, hitting the ground on her back. "Oh!"
She turned onto her side and de-morphed, as Jester turned his right hand into his claw.
"Come here, pretty?" he said, snipping it like scissiors.
"Hey!" Chip gasped.
"Watch out!" Xander called.
"NOOO!" Susan cried.
Madison gasped and flinched as Jester put his claw near her, as the others looked up.
"NOOOOO!" Nick cried, reaching out.
Jester laughed as he raised his claw up, when the frog from earlier jumped up and landed on his head.
"What?! A frog?!" Jester gasped, backing away. "Get off me!"
He grabbed the frog and threw it away onto the ground.
"Huh?" Madison muttered, turning to it.
"Whoa!" Vida said, shocked.
"Hey, freak!" Nick yelled, before he jumped up. "Hyah!"
He dived towards Jester and tried to kick him, but missed as he dodged, before he landed behind Jester and turned around. He then ducked as Jester tried to whack him, before he blocked Jester's forearm with his own.
Madison crawled over to the frog, then got to her knees and picked it up.
"Thank you." she said.
Back Root Core, Imperious kept his spell on the Xenotome, as Clare and Udonna watched helplessly.
"Dereus Malorium." he said. "Soon, I will have all the secrets of the Mystics."
In the city, Madison kept hold of the frog as the others surrounded Jester. Nick rolled away as Xander sent a kick at him, but he blocked it with his hammer, as Vida moved past Jester from behind. Jester laughed as Xander ran past and tried to punch him, before Susan spun around to kick him, but missed as he dodged.
"You saved me, you...ugly, little thing." Madison said gratefully. "I could kiss you."
"Ah!" Chip moaned.
Madison bent down and kissed the frog, which glowed brightly.
"Ah!" she yelped, lifting her head up.
She looked at it as the others turned to her.
"Oh!" Xander gasped.
"Ah!" Vida gasped.
"Huh?" Susan muttered.
"Hey." Nick said.
"Wha?" Chip muttered, getting up.
The light shot out of Madison's hands.
"No way?" she said, amazed.
The light transformed the frog into a man with dark hair, with a whisker moustache and beard, holding a gold and navy device resembling a cell phone and a train conductor's ticket puncher, and carrying a train ticket. He wore knight robes that were a mixture of golden brown, navy blue and white, with a golden S on the left side of his chest. This was Daggeron, the man Calindor/Imperious had been trapped with for years.
He held his card out, which shot a bright light, hitting Jester and knocking him away.
"AHHH!" he screamed.
"Whoa!" Nick and Chip gasped.
The Rangers all turned as Jester hit the ground on his back.
"Hey!" Nick said, as they all turned.
Madison stared at Daggeron, who turned to her and nodded, making he smile, before he came over.
"My lady?" he said, speaking with a Kiwi accent.
He held his hand out, which Madison took, helping her up.
"Thanks. You broke the curse." he said.
"I did?" Madison questioned.
Daggeron nodded, before the others all ran over.
"Oh, yeah!" Vida said.
"Hey." Nick said.
"That was sweet." Chip said, as they gathered up.
"Hidiacs!" Jester yelled, as a bunch of them gathered around him.
Madison turned and ran forward with the others, before Daggeron touched her shoulder. (Susan was between Nick and Chip)
"Stand back?" he said.
He walked past them all, making them turn to him.
"Hey!" Chip said.
"What?" Susan muttered.
"Hold on?" Nick said.
Daggeron stopped and brought out his ticket holder and a ticket.
"Solar Cell Morpher!" he shouted, turning it.
He pressed a button on it, then held it up, before he crossed his forearms over in a plus shape, twisting his left hand, where the card was.
"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" he shouted, holding his right hand out in front of him, his left behind him, then held the ticket near the morpher.
(Morph sequence)
Daggeron punched a hole in the ticket with the morpher, then held up the ticket and threw it away, which twirled around. It grew to his size, then got behind him, covering him in his Ancient Mystic mode, which was a golden being with wings on his back, legs, boots, and two on his head, with a silver sun between them, and had a white scarf with silver balls on his chest. He began to change into his Ranger form, first his boots and legs, then his arms, chest, then his head, which resembled golden knight armor with black lines along it, navy in the unarmored bits, while his helmet was gold at the front, navy at the back, with the Mystic symbol for his visor, and two lines on the top, one running along the back, the other going out diagonally, with a red jewel at the end.
"Hyah!" he yelled, holding his arms out as his cape waved behind a sun.
(End morph sequence)
Daggeron reached for a bright light.
"Power of the Sun!" he shouted, grabbing it.
He pulled his arm back, then turned left, before he turned back and held his arm out, with his left across his chest. Bright lights came up behind him, then he waved his arms around.
"Solaris Knight!" he shouted, holding his right up near his helmet, his left down near his hip.
He turned and held his left arm down, his right out, then turned back and lowered his left, holding his right near his chest.
The Rangers all stared at him in shock.
"Cool." Vida said.
"Oh, man." Chip said.
"Whoa!" Susan said, amazed.
"Man." Nick said.
"I'm back in action." Daggeron said. "Where's Jenji?"
(Root Core)
Jenji's lamp began to move slightly, as Imperious kept his spell on the Xenotome.
"Solaris? Solaris is back?" Jenji said.
Clare and Udonna turned to the lamp, which knocked the book holding it off.
"I've gotta get outta here." Jenji said.
The lamp vanished.
(The city)
It showed up in the sky and shot down towards Daggeron.
"OH!" Jenji yelped.
Daggeron caught the lamp, before Jenji popped out of it.
"Sorry, I was reading. Where've you been?" he asked. "You look great."
"Thanks, Jenji." Daggeron said.
"Hidiacs, attack!" Jester commanded, pointing forward.
The Hidiacs all charged at Daggeron.
"Sure. We'll catch up later." Jenji said, lowering himself into the lamp.
"Laser Lamp!" Daggeron said, bending the handle.
The other end extended out a small cannon, turning it into a blaster.
"Power up!" he shouted, holding it down.
He rubbed the side of it as the Hidiacs kept charging at him, before he aimed it.
"Firing!" he shouted.
He pulled the trigger, shooting two blasts that zoomed past the Hidiacs and hit Jester's chest.
"AH!" he moaned, hitting the ground on his back. "No fair! That's a new weapon!"
Daggeron waved his cape around, then held up his lamp.
"Right you are." he said.
He charged forward, then jumped as a Hidiac tried to slash him with its blade, before he fly kicked its chest, along with another, knocking them down. He landed on his feet, then waved his cape, blocking a third's blade with his forearm, then hit a fourth's with it as he backed away, making it spin around, then he spun around. He then hit two in the chest with his hands, knocking them down, then he jumped up and spun around, kicking another two down, before he landed on his feet. He put his right hand on the ground and spun around, kicking his legs out, kicking another two, knocking them down, then he blocked another's blade with his hand, before hitting its chest with his hand, then he tripped another up. He turned and knocked a third's blade with his hand, then hit its chest with his lamp, knocking it down, which he held up.
"Let's get 'em, Jenji." he said. "Have some more!"
He jumped up and fired the lamp, diving backwards as the blasts hit the ground, making sparks come up from it, which knocked three Hidiacs down.
Madison smiled, while Xander and Vida turned to her.
"Amazing." Xander remarked.
"Yeah." Vida agreed.
Daggeron jumped and kicked a Hidiac down, before he dived away and grabbed a pole, kicking another as he spun around on it. He kicked another two - one at a time - before he let go of the pole and landed on the ground, then he kicked his foot against a table and jumped up.
"Hyah!" he yelled.
He dived up as several Hidiacs shot slime balls from the mouths, hitting the ground and making sparks come up from the ground.
"Wow!" Chip said amazed.
"Man, that's incredible." Nick said.
"No doubt." Susan agreed.
Daggeron jumped up and kicked his feet against a fence barrier on a balcony, then dived down while rubbing the lamp, then fired it, hitting the ground near dozens of Hidiacs, knocking them down as sparks came up from it. He kicked his foot against ones shoulder, then dived away, flipping forwards, before he landed on his feet, surrounded by more of them.
"Let's finish this." he said, rubbing the lamp.
He spun around and kicked ones blade as it came at him, then fired the lamp to his left, hitting another, then he spun around and kicked a third's blade, flipping it onto its back. He aimed his lamp under his left arm and fired it behind him, hitting a fourth's chest, then moved his arm around and fired it behind him again, hitting a fifth, then he turned around and fired again, hitting a sixth, and then a seventh.
"Let's do this the easy way." he said, rubbing his lamp.
He aimed and fired it upwards, which divided into six blasts, which then shot down and hit a Hidiac each, knocking them down.
"And you're next." he said, rubbing the lamp, before aiming it to his right.
"That's my cue!" Jester said.
"Oh, really?" Daggeron asked.
"I'm outta here!" Jester said, as he spun around, going beneath the ground.
"Not so fast!" Daggeron said, firing the lamp.
The blast shot towards the area Jester was at, before hit shot down and hit him, knocking him up and out of the ground.
"AHH!" he yelled. "OH!"
He went flying away, before he hit the ground on his chest, as Daggeron turned to face him.
"Hopefully you've learned your lesson about playing tricks on people." Daggeron hoped, rubbing the lamp. "Ha!"
He aimed the lamp, before Jenji popped his head out of it.
"Time to get serious." he said, before he went back in.
"Jenji shining attack!" Daggeron shouted, pulling the trigger.
Jenji shot out of the lamp, covered in a gold light as he shot towards Jester.
"OH!" Jester gasped, covering his face with his arms.
"Take that, and that, and that, that, that, that!" Jenji said, clawing his hands out.
The slashes hit Jester, making him lower his arms as sparks came out of him.
"OH!" he moaned.
Jenji shot back towards the lamp and went into it.
"Go Jenji! Go Jenji!" he whooped.
Daggeron turned around and held the lamp up, then lowered it as Jester fell down onto his side.
"The joke's over." Daggeron said, snapping his fingers, as Jester blew up.
Madison stepped forward as the other Rangers stared at him.
"Sweet." Vida said.
"Way to go." Chip said.
"Ha, ha!" Nick laughed.
"Wow." Susan remarked.
"That was amazing." Xander commented.
Madison smiled.
"Power down." Daggeron said, waving his left hand.
He held it up with his back fingers pressed against his palm, as his suit glowed brightly, then he de-morphed, as the Rangers ran towards him.
"Great." Chip said.
"Who are you?" Madison asked.
"No time for that now." Daggeron said. "Udonna's in trouble."
A little later, in Root Core, Imperious still had his spell on the Xenotome, as Clare panicked and hugged Udonna tight.
"Dereus Malorium." Imperious said.
The protection spell vanished from the Xenotome.
"I... The Xenotome is mine." he said happily.
He reached for it, when he got hit by a blast in the chest, knocking him back.
"AHH!" he moaned.
He hit his back against a table, breaking the spell holding Clare and Udonna, who both turned and saw all the Rangers standing by the door.
"We meet again, Calindor?" Daggeron said, who had cast the blast.
"Daggeron?" Udonna gasped.
Imperious limped away from the table.
"I am now called Imperious!" he snarled.
The Rangers all stood by Clare and Udonna, before Daggeron held up his fists, ready to fight. (Susan was on Madison's left)
"This is not the place." Imperious said. "We will meet again. Next time, I will finish you off for good!"
He put his hand near his chest, then vanished as a spell seal went over him. Daggeron lowered his fists, then turned to Udonna before they hugged each other, as the Rangers smiled, Vida folding her arms.
Later, in the Underworld, Imperious stood by the throne with Nercolai, before he walked away.
"They may have thwarted my plan this time, but next time, Daggeron will fall!" he vowed, waving his left hand out.
Meanwhile, in the forest, Udonna and Daggeron were both walking towards Root Core, Daggeron telling Udonna what had really happened, as Calindor/Imperious hadn't lied about everything.
"I was running through the woods when Calindor attacked." he explained.
(Flashback)
During the last battle of the Great War, thunder and lighting roared from the sky, as it rained heavily over part of the forest, where Daggeron - morphed - and Calindor - in his Ancient Mystic mode - faced each other.
"The dark magic had overtaken him."
They both stared at each other, before casting a spell with their hands, which got locked together.
"He was strong...evil..."
Lighting shot from the sky, hitting a tree right down the middle, cutting it in half as fire spread through it, making Calindor laugh.
"I hardly recognized him."
Calindor opened his mouth open, showing fanged teeth.
"AHH!" he roared, as his body glowed brightly.
He began levitating up as he approached Daggeron, who jumped up as his body glowed a golden orange. Calindor followed him, before they began banging each other several times, before they both dived towards a cave area and crashed.
"In the end, we were both cursed and trapped in a magical cave."
(Flashback ends)
Udonna turned to Daggeron as they stopped near the entrance, the door open.
"Daggeron, what happened to Bowen, my baby?" she asked.
"I don't know. I lost sight of him during battle." Daggeron explained regretfully. "But didn't Leanbow find him?"
"Leanbow was...destroyed." Udonna explained sadly.
Daggeron sighed and turned away, before he turned back.
"I am sorry, Udonna." he said. "I failed you. I failed us all."
He walked past her and entered Root Core sadly, as she turned around, while nearby, Phineas peeked up from behind a bush near a rock.
"Mystic Force are gonna find out what I did." he gulped. "Yes, they're gonna find out. Oh, what am I gonna do?"
He flinched nervously, as he'd done something years ago during the Great War, which Udonna nor the Rangers knew about.
