Previous ChapterNext Chapter

In the woods in the magical realm, Skye was walking around with a basket full of small, weird fruits, as she was gathering stuff up for Glaucia.

"Let's, see?" she said, holding a list and pencil. "Beetle's bane, check."

She ticked it off the list as she walked slowly forward.

"Slugroot, check." she said, ticking it off.

She looked up as a gust of wind blew onto her, before she saw the Rangers racing towards them on their Mystic Racers, which were shaped like magical birds, with engines at the back, a M in their color on the front, and a handle on either side for them to hold.

"Ah!" Skye gasped.

She ducked as the Rangers began to fly over her.

"Heads up!" Flash warned, in the lead.

"Coming through!" Spike said.

"Yeah!" Octoavia whooped.

Flash turned to Skye and held his hand out.

"Sorry." he said, before he turned around and grabbed his handle.

"They need to put traffic lights out here." Skye breathed, getting up, before she spotted some flowers. "Ah, Hollyflower petals. Come to mama?"

She waved her hand, but nothing happened, making her try and think of a spell.

"Borum... Gor... Florum Xylo Copa." she said.

Magic came onto the flowers, causing a bunch of bees to come out of them and fly towards her.

"Ah!" she yelped. "Bees!"

She put her hands in her hair as they flew past her, causing some of the stuff in her basket to fall out.

"Shoo! Shoo!" she said.

Magic came out of her hand, making the bees vanish.

"Ow!" she moaned. "I'll just say I couldn't find any Hollyflower petals. What's next?"

She checked her list as she approached a bunch of bushes with berries on them.

"Ah, Stickleberries." she said.

She pulled some off a bush and put them into her basket, when she heard a noise that didn't sound like the Rangers. She looked at the ground as something burrowing beneath it moved towards her, as she turned around to it.

"AH!" she gasped.

She turned and began to run away, dropping her basket and list as she did. She turned back as the thing got closer and closer, when a goblin-like creature dressed in ragged clothes dived towards her.

"Look out!" he said.

He grabbed Skye and pulled her down and away from the thing.

"Ah! OH!" she moaned, falling onto her chest.

The goblin creature dived away, as Skye turned around and sat up.

"What was that?" she wondered, looking around.

The thing beneath the ground kept burrowing away, leaving a bunch of dirt behind it.

She got up and brushed her hair away, before she coughed and spat, being watched by the goblin from behind a tree.

In the Underworld, Tirek, Driscoll and Midnite all stood together near the throne.

"Now there are five Mystic Warriors?" Midnite said, turning around. "Just like the ones that tried to trap us down here forever!"

"Glaucia had to give the Mystic powers to someone." Driscoll said. "These children pose no threat."

"And while you two argue, I've taken steps to see that they don't,” Tirek said.

The whole place began to shake, making them all wobble.

"What under Earth was that?" Midnite asked, as the shaking stopped.

"The Hydra Worm."

"The creature that dug this enormous pit?"

"It's only a matter of time before it breaks through to the surface."

"Briarwood will be destroyed from below unless the Rangers stop it."

"I'll make sure they don't, with a creature from my army of the Underworld." Tirek assured.

He laughed as pointed his ax at the door, as a green slime monster called Mucket came in, which had a club arm shaped like a mouth, a skull like head, and had black armor around his body, which included a spike on the top.

Back in the magical realm, the Rangers were racing their Mystic Racers over the trees.

"Come on, pinkie?" Flash dared, turning to her. "Try and keep up?"

He sped his Racer off and flew down towards the trees.

"No one calls me 'Pinkie'!" Vinyl exclaimed.

"Go get him, V," Capper said.

"Show him who you are."

Vinyl sped up her Racer and flew down after Flash

"You'd better run." she said, as the others chased after them.

Flash swerved his Racer around through the trees, laughing as he did, with Vinyl right behind him.

"Almost got ya." She said, as he turned around.

"You still there?" he mocked, before he turned away. "Whoa!"

He shot right towards a tree, making him skid his Racer to a halt, before Vinyl raced off past him laughing.

"Who's in the lead now, Sentry?" she mocked, turning around.

"That'll be me." Spike said, racing past her. "Wahoo!"

"Huh?" Vinyl muttered, turning to him.

She raised her right arm up as Spike raced on, punching his left up.

"Yellow, baby! Yeah!" he whooped.

They all soon raced over to the base of the Celestial Tree.

"Wahoo!" they whooped.

"Dismount!" Flash said, jumping off his Racer. "All right!"

He crossed his forearms over, his fingers out, as the others followed him.

."Whoa!" they all said.

They all de-morphed before they landed on the ground, and then they all looked up. Their racers all turned into brooms, the same ones that went against the wall their visor symbols belonged to, which shot down towards them. Flash caught him with one hand, followed by Capper, Spike, Octavia and Vinyl.

"Very good, Rangers." Glaucia said, looking at them all. "That's enough Mystic Racer practice for today."

"Come on?" Spike complained. "Just one more lap 'round the forest?"

"Yeah, I'm just getting warmed up." Vinyl said. "I wanna see what this bad boy can really do."

Both Capper and Octavia giggled.

"I'm afraid not." Glaucia said. "It's time for elementary incantations."

"Oh, boring!" all but Octavia complained.

"Hey, I think that sounds kinda interesting." Octavia reasoned, walking off.

"Only to you, sis." Vinyl joked.

They all began to walk off together through the woods.

"Glaucia , the Mystic Racers are amazing, but now that we're Power Rangers, don't we get lots of other cool stuff too?" Vinyl asked.

"Oh, yeah? I mean, no one's more excited than me to finally get to wear a cape." Spike said, touching his.

"Finally?" Capper scoffed. "If I remember correctly, you used to come to school with a pillowcase pinned to your back."

Everyone but Spike laughed.

"Yeah, well, that was a long time ago." Spike said.

"It was last week, mate." Capper recalled.

"Well, anyway, V's right." Spike said. "We're official superheroes now. Where's the rest of the vehicles, weapons, and gadgets that we get?"

"The Accord holds the Spell Codes that can unlock magical powers beyond your imagination."

Vinyl turned to her as they all stopped.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's bust it open, load the codes and get out booty."

"It doesn't work that way, Vinyl." She explained. "As you perform heroic deeds, and grow as Rangers, the Accord will reveal the Spell Codes, when the time is right."

She walked off, with the others following leaving Spike and Vinyl alone.

"When the time is right?" She hissed. "I don't wanna wait that long."

"Me neither." Spike said. "There's gotta be a quicker way to get those codes."

Vinyl smiled as she thought of something.

"I got an idea. Follow me," she said, motioning with her head. "Uh, we'll catch up with you guys later."

They both turned and walked off.

Later, at the tree, Flash and Capper were both sitting around a table with books, reading one each, as Octavia picked up a load more.

"Man! Look at all these incantations?" Capper said. "How is my brain supposed to fit in all this information?"

Octavia came over and put her books down beside Flash

"Why don't you let me help you out with that?" she said.

Both boys turned to her as she took out her wand and aimed it at Flash

"Craneor Magnus." she chanted.

A spell came out of her wand, which hit Capper's head, extending it out, making her and Flash laugh.

"Now you have lots more room." She teased.

Capper blinked his eyes repeatedly.

"And here I though his head couldn’t get any bigger." Flash laughed.

"Very funny. Tavi, if you wouldn't mind?"

She cast a spell with her wand, turning his head back to normal.

Nearby, Glaucia was making a potion, just as Skye came towards her from some steps.

"Skye..." She said, dropping some plants into the cauldron as she stirred. "...didn't I ask you to gather some Stickberries for this Protection Potion?"

"Oh, I did have a big basket of them, but... ...I accidently dropped it when I was attacked by the giant worm." She explained as Glaucia poured the bottle's contents into the cauldron. "I'm really sorry."

"Giant worm?" Glaucia questioned, turning to her.

Flash turned around to them as Capper kept reading his book, while Octavia turned a page in one, she read.

"Well, I think it was a giant worm I didn't really see it cause it never surfaced, but then this..."

Glaucia cast a spell, bringing a frog towards the cauldron, which fell into it.

"...freakish looking gnome, or troll or goblin knocked me out of the way and saved me." Clare explained.

"Did you see who it was?"

"No, he took off before I could thank him."

"Well, this is troubling."

Meanwhile, in the city, Vinyl and Spike - his arms folded - were sitting by a stand with a banner above them saying 'Heroes 4 hire'

Nearby, was a lemonade stand, where a young African boy handed a glass to another, who stood with a white boy.

"Thanks." the second boy said.

He and the white boy turned and walked off, as the first turned to the Rangers.

"Aren't you guys a little old for this?" he asked.

"Beat it, kid," Vinyl said rudely, making Spike turn to her. "We don't need the competition."

The kid stuck his tongue out at her, before she did the same.

"So, how do you figure that being heroes for hire is gonna get us more codes from the Accord?" Spike asked, changing the subject.

The girls both turned to him.

"Glaucia said that heroic deeds unlock the codes." Vinyl said. "So, all we gotta do is preform a bunch of them and we're golden."

Spike turned around, just as a woman came towards them, making him get up.

"Oh. H-hey, ma'am. You don't happen to have any heroic deeds you need doing, do you?" Spike asked.

"Well, as a matter of fact, I do." the woman replied.

Vida and Chip smiled

A little later, Spike was walking by a house, before he saw a large parking lot, completely covered with leaves. He flinched slightly, before he walked off and grabbed a rake, before he began to rake the leaves, sighing as he did.

(Meanwhile)

Vinyl was standing by the front of a car with a woman, the hood open.

"I can fix this." Vida said.

She leaned down and fiddled with a screw line, when the engine started, shooting oil onto her face and arms.

"Oh!" she yelped.

The woman giggled slightly, as she moved her head away.

"Ah." she moaned.

(Elsewhere)

Spike had just finished raking all the leaves into a pile, before he stopped and turned around to it, when a strong wind came blowing in, blowing them all away.

"Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!" he panicked.

(Later)

Vinyl was inside a room, giving a dog a bath, while another waited nearby. She squeezed a small towel over the first, soaking it, before it began to shake its fur, wetting her.

"Ah!" she moaned, closing her eyes as she lifted her head up.

(Later)

Spike was carrying six large egg trays towards a man standing by a truck, which had another six egg trays on, as well as some chickens in a cage, and some hay.

"Hey." Chip said.

"All right." the man said.

He walked around the truck, as Spike tripped over a small piece of a fence.

"Ah!" he yelped, stumbling forward.

He managed to put the eggs on the edge of the truck, before he turned around and sighed.

"Oh." he said.

He blinked with relief, just as the eggs fell from the truck and hit the floor, most of them smashed up, making him and the man turn around.

"Ah!" the man gasped.

Spike turned around and ran for it.

"Ah!" he yelped.

A little later, both Spike and Vinyl met up by the sign.

"Oh! Man, I don't know how many more heroic deeds I've got left in me." she sighed.

"I know what you mean. I'm beat." Spike said, touching his back, before he sniffed. "And you smell like wet dog."

"Can it!”

"Oh. Hey, let's see how many new Spell Codes we've got." Vinyl suggested, as Spike turned to her.

"Yeah." Chip said.

They both took out their morphers and opened them up but found nothing new.

"Huh?"

"Nothing?"

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city, the other Rangers were all walking together across a piece of grass in the city.

"Hey, Spike and Vinyl never showed." Capper said. "Where d'you think they went?"

"I don't know, but when my sister gets that crazy look in her eye, it usually means trouble." Octavia said.

They kept on walking, when Midnite landed on top of a wooden table stand ahead of them.

"I'll show you real trouble." she said, getting their attention.

"Who are you?" Flash inquired.

"I am Midnite, Dark Mistress of the Underworld." She explained.

"I'll handle this one." Capper said, patting Flash 's arm.

He walked forward as Flash and Octavia turned to each other, knowing it wasn't gonna work.

"Hi. Capper. Whatever the problem is here, I'm sure we just talk this one out."

"You wish." she said, wave her hand and a shot magic from her eyes, hitting the ground near Capper, making sparks come up from it.

"AH!" he yelped, as he jumped and twirled around.

"Capper!"

Octavia and Flash caught him as he fell back.

"Not a big talker, I see." Capper noted.

Flash let go of him and moved to the front.

"Let's Ranger up." he said.

They took out their morphers in wand mode, then pressed the three buttons.

"Magical Surge, Mystic Form!" They all shouted as spell seal came before them.

(Morph sequence)

A spell shot out from their wands, creating a spell seal above each of them. Their Mystic spirts came out of the spell seals and landed behind them, as they did their actions.

"Yah!" they yelled, jumping up.

They went through the spell seals, morphing up, then they turned as their helmets came on, before doing their Mystic hand poses.

(End morph sequence)

They all held up fists or forearms.

"Hyah!" they yelled.

They all charged at Midnite, who held her hands out, her right near her face.

"Yah!" she yelled, before she charged forward.

Capper jumped and somersaulted towards her, trying to kick her down the chest with his left foot, but she crossed her forearms over and blocked it. She then lifted her arms out, sending Capper flying away, before he landed the ground on his feet, as Flash and Octavia came up on either side of him.

They both charged forward, before they did a sideways handspring forward, then Flash did some backwards one, while Octavia did some back flips, as Midnite came towards them both.

"Yah!" she screeched, as she ran past them.

She turned around to Octavia, who tried to kick her, but she blocked it with her hands, then she ducked as Octavia spun around to kick her. Flash came over and tried to kick her, but she dodged and blocked it with her hand, then she ducked as Xander jumped and spun around, trying to kick her, but missed. He landed on his side, then kicked her arm, knocking her away slightly as she spun around, then she ducked as Octavia jumped and spun around to kick her, making her miss. She jumped up as Capper tried to tackle her, before she landed on the stand, as the Rangers gathered together.

"Get her!" Flash said.

He and Octavia both jumped up, before he somersaulted forward as she twirled around, before they both landed on either side of Midnite. She crouched down as she did a backwards handspring past her, while Flash landed in front of her, then spun around to kick her, but missed. She got up and kicked Capper's chest as he came at her, then she ducked as Flash spun around to punch her, before he moved away. She did a sideways handspring off the stand, as both boys did a backwards one, while Octavia did a side flip to her left, before they all got on their feet. Midnite spun around and kicked Xander's arm, knocking him away, as Octavia spun around behind her.

"Oh!" Capper moaned.

Midnite did a sideways handspring towards Flash, kicking his arm as he raised it up, making him spin around.

"AH!" he moaned, falling onto his back.

Octavia spun around to kick Midnite, but missed as she ducked, then she blocked a kick with her right arm, before she kicked Octavia’s leg, sending her flying over her.

"AH!" she moaned, hitting the ground on her back.

Midnite turned left as Capper dived towards her, with his Axe.

"Ha!" he yelled.

He slammed it against the ground as he landed crouched down, sending a beam of magic along it, which hit Midnite, making her jump away.

"Hyah!" Flash yelled, somersaulting after her.

Midnite turned to him as they landed on a road, before Capper and Octavia landed on either side of him.

"Come on?" Flash dared, all holding their Sacred Staffs.

"Playtime's over!" Midnite sneered.

The Rangers put away their Staffs.

"Oh, yeah?" Octavia scoffed, as Flash rubbed his hands.

"We'll see." Flash said, as Xander ran his thumb over his nose area.

Midnite spread her arms out, and went into her ghost form, then she jumped up and fired magic blasts from her eyes as she swooped forward.

"AHH!" the Rangers moaned, as the blasts hit the ground around them, making sparks come up as they shielded their visors with their forearms.

Midnite flew over them all, before she turned around and flew back down towards them.

"Look out!" Flash yelled, turning around.

MIdnite fired more blasts from her eyes, hitting them all in the chest as sparks came up around them.

"AHH!" the Rangers moaned, hitting the ground.

"Let's go for a ride?" Midnite smirked.

She grabbed Capper and Flash by the arms, then wrapped her legs around Octavia, before she flew up with all three of them.

"Let me go!"

In the Underworld, Tirek sat in his throne, as Driscoll stood in front of him, both staring at Mucket.

"Send Mucket to the surface, Driscoll. He has an appetite for Power Rangers."

"So be it. Uthra Norqua Ozarro."

He held his hand out, creating a spell seal around Mucket, which made him grow giant and out of the Underworld.

He arrived on the surface at a valley.

"So hungry." he said.

Midnite flew towards him with the three of the rangers.

"Patience, Mucket. Dinner is on the way." she promised.

The Rangers all turned to Mucor.

"Let me go!" Nick demanded.

"Good riddance, Rangers." Midnite scoffed.

She threw them all towards Mucket, who opened his mouth.

"NOOO!" they yelled, diving into it.

"Ah." Mucor sighed, closing his mouth. "Hmm."

Meanwhile, at Celestial Tree, Vinyl and Spike all approached the Accord, while Glaucia was stirring her potion.

"Let's check the book."

She turned to the Rangers as Vinyl opened it up, then flicked through some pages, but found nothing.

"What? Nothing?" Vida questioned. "This thing must be broken?"

"What are you doing?" Udonna asked.

Both of them turned around to her.

"We've been out doing heroic deeds all day, and haven't gotten one new code." Spike explained. "Being a superhero's kind of a rip-off."
.

"It seems you know very little about being a superhero."

"Are you kidding? No one knows more than me." Spike said, touching his chest. "I've spent a fortune on video games, DVDs, graphic novels, trading cards-"

"Okay, okay. " Vinyl said, getting up.

A noise came from the Crystal Ball, making Glaucia pass them

"Something's wrong." she said.

The Rangers all turned and followed her down the stairs towards the table, then they all stared at the Crystal Ball, seeing Mucket in it, who laughed while holding a tree branch.

"The others are in trouble. "You must stop it."

"Us?" Vinyl questioned, horrified. "Look at that thing; it's massive. We'll get pummeled."

"You might. There's only two of you, and... you've hardly mastered your Ranger powers." She said, making her more nervous. "Are you afraid?"

“No. It's not that I'm..." Vida said.

"I'm totally scared." Spike said holding his arm out. "Look, my goosebumps. They've got goosebumps."

"Okay, I guess I'm a little freaked." Vinyl admitted.

"You should be. That creature's size and strength are unlike anything you've encountered. This is nothing like the Mazaks at all."

"But Flash and Octavia..."

"And even Capper, they need us."

"We can't just do nothing."

"You're right. We've gotta try and help them. Come on."

They all moved towards the wall with their brooms.

"Real heroes are born in the face of real danger."

Vinyl took out her morpher in wand mode.

"Ready?" she asked.

"Ready!" Spike doing the same.

The screen split into two, pressing the three buttons.

"Magical Surge, Mystic Form!" They all shouted as spell seal came before them.

(Morph sequence)

A spell shot out from their wands, creating a spell seal above each of them. Their Mystic spirts came out of the spell seals and landed behind them, as they did their actions.

"Yah!" they yelled, jumping up.

They went through the spell seals, morphing up, then they turned as their helmets came on, before doing their Mystic hand poses.

(End morph sequence)

They all turned around to their brooms.

"Come on." Spike said, grabbing his so did Vinyl as the eyes on a statue above the main door lit up, then three passages turned around, one for each Ranger by their color. Spike stopped by his and held his broom down, before it turned around.

"Right behind ya." Vinyl said, stopping by hers, holding her broom like Chip.

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.

"Ready? Firing engines!" they shouted, holding their right hands over a panel in front of their seats the Mystic way.

The engines of their Racers powered up.

(Outside)

A branch from the outside of the tree lowered itself down, before the Rangers flew their Racers out of a hole and over the trees of the woods.

"Punch it!" they shouted.

Once arriving at the valley, Mucket spotted them all.

"Rangers? Good." he cooed.

The Rangers pulled their Racers over and stared at him.

"There it is." Vinyl said.

Spike took out his morpher and dialled on it, before putting it beside his helmet.

"Guys, this is Spike." he said. "Where are you?"

"Inside the belly of the beast!" came Flash's voice.

He moved his morpher away, before he turned to Mucket.

(Mucket)

Flash held his morpher to his ear area, as he, Capper and Octavia all floated around inside the belly, covered in green gunk.

"Stay back, Spike!" he advised. "I think he's got room for seconds!"

(Outside)

"I don't care. I'm going in!" Vinyl said.

They flew off towards Mucket, then flew circles around him, as he got up and waved his club arm around, throwing his stick away as he did. She jumped off her Racer and brought out her Sacred Staff, which glowed.

"Mystical Wings!" she shouted, waving it around.

Her cape turned into her large wings.

"Fairy dust!" she shouted, crossing her forearms over.

Dust came out of her wings, which hit Mucket, making him dizzy.

"Ah..." he said.

“Time for the big sneeze!”

"Ah... Ah! Achoo!" he sneezed.

(Inside)

The Rangers all got shot up through his belly.

"AH!" they yelled.

(Outside)

They all went flying out of Mucket and dived towards the valley.

"Whoa!" they yelled.

They all landed on their feet, making Capper and Octavia fell to their knees, as Vinyl landed near them.

"All right, it worked!"

"We did it!"

The others looked at themselves and shook their hands.

"Eww!" Octavia said disgusted.

"I'm covered in monster muck!" Flash complained.

Mucket fired a barrage of green balls from his club hand at Spike, who held his Sacred Staff, while flying his Racer, dodging them.

"Somebody's gotta take this freak down, and I'm just the Ranger for the job." he said.

He jumped up and landed on his Racer, holding his Staff out.

"Hyah!" he shouted.

He turned it around and pushed the end down, as lighting shot from the sky, turning it into his crossbow.

"Sacred Staff, Shock Crossbow!" he shouted, before he aimed it. "Sneeze on this?"

He flew towards Mucket, who grunted.

"Fire!" he shouted, firing his crossbow.

The blasts hit him all over.

"AH! AH!" He moaned, stumbling back.

Spike sat down on his Racer and turned it around.

"Bullseye!" he whooped, flying off.

Mucket fell down onto his back, before Spike jumped off his Racer and landed near the others, who ran towards him.

"Great job, Spike." Flash remarked, as Chip turned around.

"Wahoo!" Vinyl whooped, waving.

"Nice work." Capper commented.

"That was incredible." Octavia remarked.

Vida moved to Spike's right as he turned to them.

"Yeah." Vida said, touching his arm.
.
"Just doing our job, right,?" Spike asked, turning to them.

"All in a day's work."

At Root Core, Glaucia stood by the Accord, words on a page she looked at it, before she turned the page, then the next one lit up, showing writing as the Rangers symbols.

"Incredible." she said.

Back at the valley, the ground began to shake, making the Rangers wobble.

"Whoa!" they yelped.

They all turned around, seeing Mucket get up as they all took their places.

"Watch out!" Octaiva gasped, as they backed away.

"Hungry!" Mucket roared.

"I'm not afraid of him." Spike said. "Come on, Rangers!"

They all began doing their fight poses.

"Strong as a forest, Mystic Warrior, Green Ranger!"

"Ever changing as the wind, Mystic Warrior, Pink Ranger!"

"Calm as the sea, Mystic Warrior, Blue Ranger!"

"Fast as lighting, Mystic Warrior, Yellow Ranger!"

"Forceful as fire, Mysitc Warrior, Red Ranger!"

They all back flipped through the air.

"Yah!" they all yelled.

They all landed on the edge of a cliff.

"We call forth the magic...!" they shouted, holding their right hands near their chests the Mystic way. "...Power Rangers Mystic Warriors!" they shouted, as an explosion went off behind them.

Five balls of light came out of the explosion, which shot towards the Rangers.

"Oh, look?" Capper said.

"Whoa!" Spike said.

They all caught one each, showing their morphers.

"Wow." Octavia said.

"What's going on?" Vinyl wondered.

The numbers 1, 0 and 7 all glowed on their morphers.

"Hey, it's a new Spell Code!" She realized.

"I get it now." Spike said. "Glaucia was right."

(Flashback)

"Real heroes are born in the face of real danger." Glaucia quoted.

(Flashback ends)

"Amazing." Spike said.

"All right, Rangers, let's do it!" Flash said.

"Yeah!" the girls said.

"All right." Capper said.

They all lowered their wands, then pressed the numbers that glowed.

Galwit Mysto Prifior

They all crossed their forearms over and spun around, first Capper, Spike, Vinyl, Octavia, and Flash went last.

"Ha!" they yelled, holding their morphers behind them as they bent down. "It's Titan time!"

They held up their wands and pressed the main button.

"Mystic Golem!" Capper shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over him.

He went through it, transforming into a large Golem Zord with red eyes, which had a knight's armor, the chest and shoulder with the 'M' symbol, and an axe.

"Ha!" he yelled, slashing it down, then he held his arms out as his symbol came behind him. "Ha!"

"Mystic Fairy!" Vinyl shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over her.

She went through it, transforming into a small Fairy Zord, with armor like Capper's with small wings behind her, and big yellow eyes, before she spun around.

"Hyah!" she yelled, holding her left arm out, her right up diagionally, bending her left leg, as her symbol came behind her.

"Mystic Serpent!" Octavia shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over her.

She went through it, transforming into a Serpent Zord, who's head resembled Udonna's helmet, while her armor was like the rest, and had yellow eyes, then she held her left arm up and her right in front of her.

"Hyah!" she shouted, crossing her forearms over.

Her legs attached together to make a tail fin, as her symbol came up behind her.

"Mystic Garuda!" Spike shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over him.

He went through it, transforming into a Garuda Zord, which had wings for arms, small green eyes and beak, while his armor was like the rest, only it included his shoulders, before he leaned back and waved his arms out.

"Ha!" he yelled, holding his wings out as his symbol came up behind him.

"Mystic Phoenix!" Flash shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over him.

He went through it, transforming into a Phoenix Zord, which had green eyes, his chest armor resembling the others, and held a sword.

"Yah!" he yelled.

He waved his sword around, then bent down while holding it backwards.

"Yah!" he yelled, as his symbol came up behind him.

They all stood together, staring at Mucket, Vinyl standing on Capper's shoulder, as she was small, while he was large, and the rest were the same size.

"Ancient power, Mystic Titans!" they shouted, doing their poses, slashing his sword out, before holding it up.

(Celestial Tree)

Glaucia stared at them all in the Crystal Ball, smiling.

(The valley)

Mucket shot a barrage of green balls from his club hand at the Rangers, which hit and created an explosion in front of them.

"HA!" Flash yelled, as he and Spike dived forward.

"Yah!" Spike yelled.

Mucket fired more balls from his club hand, as Flash slashed his sword and charged forward, while Spike swooped forward. The balls hit the ground in front of them, making sparks come up from it, but they kept charging/swooping forward.

"Lighting lasers!" Spike shouted, shooting lasers from his eyes.

"OH!" Mucket moaned, as they hit him.

He fell down and hit the ground on his side near a pond.

"Yah!" Spike yelled, charging forward.

Mucket got up and turned to him, before he ran past him and slashed him with his sword.

"AH! OH!" Mucor moaned, as stream came out of his belly.

"This power is incredible." Flash said, looking at his sword, before he held his arms out. "Yeah!"

The girls all looked at Capper.

"Let's go." he said.

"Right." Madison said, before she and Susan ran off.

"Hyah!" Vinyl yelled, jumping up. "Let's play ball."

She spun around as magic came out of her hands, transforming herself into a ball, which Capper caught.

"Nice." he said. "Tavi!"

He threw the ball up and whacked it away with his axe.

"Yah!" Octavia yelled, her feet now a tail fin again.

She dived into the pond and began to swim around beneath it, before she jumped up from it.

"Spike, coming your way!" she called.

She flipped forward and whacked the ball away with her tail fin, which shot towards Spike.

It was sending it right towards Spike, who caught it with his wings.

"Ha. Flash, go long!" he called, as he spun around.

He threw the ball away as Nick ran along near it.

"Here we go." Flash said. "Watch this?"

He turned around and jumped up, flip kicking the ball away towards Mucor.

"Yah!" he yelled.

"Don't? I don't catch so good!" Mucket begged. "AH!"

The ball hit him, destroying him in an explosion, before the ball shot away from it, which then turned back into Vinyl.

"Yeah!" she whooped.

She landed on Xander's shoulder as the others gathered around them both.

"Oh, yeah!" Spik whooped.

"Yeah." Capper said, punching his fist up.

"Rock on!" Flash said, punching his arm up.

"Yeah!" Chip whooped, holding his wings up.

"Good job." Flash said.

"Whoo!" Madison whooped, jumping up.

Later, in the Underworld, Tirek sat in his throne, when Midnite came towards him.

"The Rangers have tapped into the power of the Mystic Titans." she explained, clutching her fist. "We've got to bring them down before he awakens."

"Not to worry. The Underworld with triumph, and he will take his place Supreme Master all of!" Tirek declared, getting up and waving his arms up.

Meanwhile, in Root Core, the Rangers - expect Flash - were all with Glaucia near the table.

"I'm proud of you all, and you've only begun to tap into the potential of the Mystic Titans." she explained.

"Yeah, but now, green freak is gone, right?" Octavia asked. "So, it's all good in the woods?"

"Oh, let's hope so. I mean, we still don't know if that was the same creature that attacked Skye." Capper said.

"Flash's investigating that."

In the Woods, Flash at the scene Skye had been attacking, looking around carefully. He got up and turned around to a bush as he heard a noise.

"Hello?" he said. "Anybody there?"

He approached the bush carefully, then pushed some twigs away, before a goblin looking creature with a big nose popped up from the other side.

"Aha." he said joyfully.

"AH!" he yelped.

They both moved out from the bush and stared at each other, the goblin wearing the same outfit he wore when he saved Clare.

"Stand back!" Nick said.

"You stand back!" the goblin said.

"I said it first."

The goblin sniffed his armpits.

"Oh!" he said, touching his left, before he turned to Flash. "So you did."

He pointed at Flash as they circled each other.

"You're not from around here, are ya?" he asked.

"No, not really." Flash answered.

"Nah, I didn't think so." the goblin said. "I've seen mump toads with prettier faces. Ho! He's an ugly one, to be sure, to be sure."

"Excuse me?" Flash said.

"Oh?" the goblin muttered, turning to him.

"I don't mean to interrupt your, uh, conversation, but what are you doing here?" Nick asked.

"He wants to know what we're doing here?" the goblin asked himself, before turning to Flash. "Well, I don't think you should tell him."

Nick looked around, seeing he was talking to himself.

"Well, because he's the one who came into our part of the forest." he said.

The ground beneath came over, pulling him down into a pit.

"Wha?!" he yelped.

Flash ran towards the hole, when the goblin got shot out of it.

"Whoa!" he yelped.

His pouch bag fell off him as he dived towards Flash, before he hit the ground and rolled over onto his chest.

"Oh, man. Come on?" Flash said, helping him up. "You okay?"

"You saved me." the goblin said, chuckling, holding his hands out to hug.

"Not really."

"Gimmie a hug?" the goblin said.

Flash saw the Hydra Worm burrowing towards them both beneath the ground.

"We'll discuss it later." he said. "I'm just kinda busy now."

He turned around and ran off as the goblin turned to him.

"Wait?" he called.

Flash took out his morpher and dialed on it, before putting it to his ear.

"Guys, I think I found what I was looking for." he explained.

At the tree...

The other Rangers watched Flash running away in the Crystal Ball, as the Hydra Worm burrowed after him below ground.

"What is he running from?" Capper questioned.

"I don't know, but he needs help." Vinyl said.

(The woods)

Flash turned around in a valley, as the Hydra Worm came towards him, before he dived to his right.

"AH!" he yelled.

He hit the ground and rolled over, before he got up and turned around.

"All right." he said.

He looked at the ground carefully, seeing the ground move slightly.

"You wanna play?" he said.

He took out his morpher in wand mode, then pressed the three buttons.

"Magical Surge, Mystic Form!”

(Morph sequence)

Flash morphed up, then he turned as his helmet came on, then did his Mystic hand pose.

"Mystic Power!" he shouted.

(End morph sequence)

He took out his Sacred Staff and turned it into sword mode, before he turned around, as the Hydra Worm rose up from the ground.

"Oh, man!" Flash gasped.

The worm shot down towards him, before he rolled to his left to avoid it, then he got up and held his sword up, before it whacked him away.

"AH!" he yelped.

His sword went flying away as he rolled along the ground.

"Ah!" he moaned, clutching his chest.

The worm's head shot down towards him.

"NOO!" he yelled.

Capper showed up and dived towards them both, holding his axe, now morphed.

"Hyah!" he yelled.

He slashed the worm's head with his axe, making it back away before it went back beneath the ground as Capper landed on his feet.

"Yeah." he said, putting his axe in his other hand.

"Thanks, man." Flash said, getting up while taking his hand. "I owe you one."

"No worries." Capper said.

Spike and the girls all ran towards them, all morphed.

"Way to go, amigos." Spike said.

"Up high?" Vinyl said.

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

The ground began to shake, making them all wobble.

"Ah!" they yelped.

"Whoa!" the girls yelped.

"Uh-oh!" Vida gasped.

The Hydra Worm rose up from the ground, this time with eight heads.

"Whoa!" the Rangers yelped.

"He looks mad." Flash noted.

The Hydra Worm roared and waved its heads back and forth, when Capper took out his morpher.

"How can you tell?" Spike asked.

Capper opened up his morpher, as the numbers 1, 2 and 5 glowed.

"Hey, I got a new Spell Code." he said.

All but Flash gathered around him.

"Wow." Octavia said.

"Nice." Spike said.

"Great." Vinyl said.

They opened their morphers, and saw the same numbers glowing.

"Glaucia said the Titans had more power." Vinyl recalled, turning hers around.

"Let's just see what they can do." Flash said, as the others gathered around him.

"Ha!" the others said.

They lowered their morphers and turned them into wand mode, then pressed 1, 7, 0.

They crossed their forearms over, their left hands the Mystic way, then held their wands up, with their left forearms beneath their elbows. Xander spun around, followed by Vida, Madison, Chip, Susan, and then Nick.

"Mystic Titans!" they shouted, bending down, before they held their wands up, pressing the button. "Hyah!"

Flash stared the others as they held their right arms out.

"Mystic Titans, Dragon formation!" they all shouted, crossing their forearms over, before holding them out as they glowed.

They all shot up towards the sky as Flash looked up at them.

Capper turned himself around and lowered his legs, forming some feet. Octavia attached her legs together into her tail fin, then retracted her head, before she attached to the back of Xander, forming a tail. Spike screeched as he spread his wings out, which turned around, then landed on Capper's back, forming some wings. Vinyl changed into a mouth and attached to the front of Capper, forming a head and neck, forming the Mystic Dragon.

"How cool is that." Flash said, pointing up. "Hang on, everybody. I'm ready to ride. Hyah!"

He held up his sword before he jumped up, then he twirled around.

"Wahoo!" he whooped.

He landed on top of the dragon, sitting in its saddle area.

"Whoa!" he yelped. "Ah!"

(Root Core)

Glaucia stared at them all in the Crystal Ball.

"Hold on tight, Flash." she said.

(The woods)

The Mystic Dragon screeched as Flash grabbed hold of its back.

"Ha! Let's bury that worm!" he said.

The Hydra Worm fired lasers from four of its heads, which hit the ground near the Mystic Dragon, making sparks and smoke come up from it.

"Hyah!" Flash yelled. "Still hungry? Hyah!"

He sliced off three of the heads with his sword as the Mystic Dragon moved past it, then the dragon flew up into the sky. It turned around and spun around, before it shot down towards the Hydra Worm.

"Yeah!" Nick whooped.

Three of the Hydra Worms heads turned around and fired blasts at the Mystic Dragon, which began dodging them.

"Look out!" Flash yelled.

Explosions went off in the sky as the Mystic Dragon kept flying down.

"Ah! Whoa!" Flash yelped. "Dragon blast!"

The Mystic Dragon shot a fireball from its mouth, which hit some of the heads, destroying them, before the Mystic Dragon flew off.

"Alright, Rangers..." Flash said, as it turned around. "...let's get fired up!"

He jumped off the Mystic Dragon and dived forward.

"Yah!" he yelled.

He spun around as the Mystic Dragon shot a fireball from his mouth, before he flip kicked it.

"Hyah!" he yelled.

The fireball shot down towards the Hydra Worm, hitting its last head, making lighting come out of it

"Yeah!" Nick whooped, as he landed back of the Mystic Dragon.

It landed on the ground as it roared, with its back to the Hydra Worm.

"Wahoo!" he whooped.

Sparks and lighting came out of the Hydra Worm.

"All right! That was a snap." Flash said, clicking his fingers.

The Hydra Worm blew up behind him and the Mystic Dragon, as he lowered his hand.

Later, Flash was back in the woods, crouched near a bush filled with Stickleberries with a basket.

"Oh. So these are Stickleberries?" he said, picking one up.

He ate it, but found it disgusting.

"Ah!" he said.

He spat it into his hand and threw it away.

"Uh! Ah!" he said, getting up, his forearm over his mouth. "Gross. Better pick some more."

He reached his hand into the bush, moving part of it aside, before he saw the goblin.

"Ah!"

The goblin got up and waved as Nick backed away, facepalming himself.

"You... You gotta stop doing that?" Flash said, breathing.

"I've been looking everywhere for ya." the goblin said. "I wanted to thank you for saving me."

He held his arms out to hug Nick, who picked some Stickleberries from the bush.

"To tell you the truth, I don't think I saved you so much as a monster spit you out." Nick said.

"Rat feathers." the goblin muttered. "Even that hideous beast rejected me! I don't belong anywhere. Not even in a worm's stomach!"

He held out his hand.

"I'm Rick." he said.

Flash shook his hand, before Phineas put his other on the outside.

A little later, they both walked through the woods together, Nick tossing an apple up in his hand, before he caught it.

"Uh, you see, I'm a Troblin." Rick explained. "Now, uh, that is the unfortunate result of a union between a troll and a goblin, but both sides hate me. So, so, I wander the forest on my own."

"Well, actually, the reason I was out here was because, uh, you helped a friend of mine."

"Ah." Phineas blushed, as they stopped.

"And I wanted to thank you." Nick said.

"Oh..."

"I hope you like Stickleberries." Flash said, holding up the basket.

"Who doesn't?" Rick said.

He took the whole small pile of them, then shoved several into his mouth, a few falling to the ground. Nick looked around embarrassed, as Phineas smiled.

"Right."Flash said.

He chuckled as they both walked on.

"Ooh, I must warn you through, young warrior. This forest is full of danger." .

"Tell me something I don't know?" Flash said. "My friends and I are up against Midnite and Driscoll. It can't get worse than that."

"Uh, yes."

Nick stopped and turned around to him.

"Yes, it can."

"You still haven't faced...him."

"Who's him?"

"The Emperor Grogar ." Phineas explained, putting his finger to his lips. "Shh?"

He looked confused, not sure who he was talking about, but knew it couldn't be good by his tone.

Meanwhile, in the Underworld, Tirek sat in his throne, being furious.

"They destroyed my Hydra Worm!" he exclaimed.

He slammed the end of his sword against the ground as Midnite stood before him.

"Impossible!" he exclaimed, slamming his arms against the sides of his throne.

"Even I am surprised." Driscoll admitted, standing in front of him.

The ball on the floor glowed red, getting everyone's attention.

"Tirek, look?" Midnite said.

"It's him." Tirek said, getting up. "Bow down to the Emperor, you fools!"

The Mazaks all bowed down on their knees, as Tirek, Midnite approached Driscoll, all staring at the circle.

"Hail." Driscoll said, holding his right arm across his chest.

"Hail." Midnite said, doing the same.

"Hail." Tirek said, doing it with his left arm.

They all bowed down on their knees.

"Bow down." Tirek said.

An eye came into the circle, who was Grogar, and lord of the Underworld.
