Chapter 3: Mystic Message


The Forest of Briarwood stretched for miles, the fog seemingly endless.

Allie stretched over the rail of the crow's nest, trying to see anything. "Still Zero visual, Captain!" She announced.

"Thanks, Princess. Get down here." Crimzen, morphed and piloting the Galaxy Galleon by the ship wheel, looked over to the screen showing the cabins. "How's the equipment?"

"Still down. The fog is messing with our tech." Bones sighed. "We're flying blind."

Joe rubbed the bridge of his nose with two fingers. This could not go worse.

Something ran into the ship, hitting the Galaxy Galleon in the broadside. The ship was rattled, and the crew thrown around.

"Tell me that was a tree!" Crimzen barked.

"No." Joe looked out the window. "It is a Zang battle cruiser."

"Stako." Crimzen snarled.

The Zang ship turned around and fired at the pirates.

"Captain, they appear to be shooting at us." Joe leaned against the wall calmly.

"Thanks Joe, I noticed." The Captain snapped back. "Sanna, you're our gunner! Go gun!"

Sanna rushed to her station, activation the cannons and returning fire at the Zang ship. The pirate cannons scored a direct hit, but so did the Zang!

"HOLD ON TO SOMETHING!" The Captain roared as the ship went down.


Sailors of the Sea of Stars, Heroes from beyond Mars,
Time to unite! Time to fight! Time for heroes to take flight!
Rangers return! With power to burn!
Time for evil to learn!
Pirates never fall! Rangers save us all!

PIRATE SQUADRON!

Power Rangers never lose! This power that we choose!

Corsairs of the sky! Rangers do or die!

POWER RANGERS!



The 4 rangers from the cabin stumbled out of the Galaxy Galleon.

"Well, any landing you can walk away from." Joe sighed, flipping his hair back.

"Maybe we should retreat?" Bones suggested as the Zang grew closer.

The Zang opened fire, narrowly missing the 4 rangers.

A Blue and red Cy-born elite with a massive claw for a right hand, a silver tail, and whip-like things protruding from his left hand appeared. "How did you find us?" He demanded.

"We didn't. You crashed into us.' Sanna rolled her eyes.

"Yes. Now what do you want?" Joe was calm, unlike the others, who were already tensing up for battle.

"Time to die pirates!" The Elite, Ungius, made a movement, and the Cy-Born began to charge.

The Captain, still fully morphed, jumped down from the Galaxy Galleon. "Heh. Time to fight huh? Fine by me!" Crimzen cracked his knuckles as the other rangers pulled out their Pirate Morphers. "Set Sail!" The rangers morphed. Crimzen whipped out his Flintlock Blaster, spinning it around his finger before firing it. The blasts hit two Cy-Born, taking them down easily. With that, the Rangers charged into battle.

Joe spun around, the hand holding his blaster behind his back. He slashed down three Cy-Born before rushing off. Allie fired off to her left, blowing a Cy-born away before easily blocking the club of another and shooting the Cy-Born coming to her right. Sanna slung her blade as she scaled the rock wall. As the Cy-Born tied to climb after her, she just shot them down. Crimzen shot down two Cy-Born before slashing a third across the chest, sending it crashing to the ground. As he fell, Crimzen landed a jump kick on another, bouncing off to slash one more Cy-Born. a The four looked very cool, as if they had rehearsed it.

Bones had somehow fallen onto his back, shooting and slashing with his weapons. Unguis rushed the rising ranger, punching him across the battle field. Unguis rushed after Bones, swiping the ranger's legs with his claws. Bones, in his attempt to keep himself balanced, kicked the Elite with both boots before landing on his back, feet still in the air. Unguis landed on Bones' outstretched legs. "Ha! Lucky for me! Going up!" Bones yelled before kicking up a few times, bouncing the Cy-Born higher and higher. "Have a nice flight!" Bones joked before a final kick sent Unguis flying across the battlefield.

The other rangers ran up to their friend.

"Not bad, Bones. Completely silly looking, but impressive nonetheless." Sanna complimented the younger man.

"Thanks, Sanna, I...wait, SILLY!" Bones was crushed.

"THAT'S IT! EVERYONE DIES!" Unguis roared. He straightned up his silver tail and plunged into the ground. The soil began to glow bright. "That can not be good." Joe muttered before a massive barrage of explosions assailed the rangers.

Zang main cruiser, space
Prince Payne was enraged! "Lykia, how did the rangers discover our plan?" He stomped right past his newest bodyguard, MuraMassaca.

"It matters not, Prince." Lykia flourished "Our plan will go on. We will use Briarwood's unique energy to cause the volcanoes of Earth to erupt simultaneously, therby ripping it apart!"

"No. We go after those slagging Pirates first!" Payne raged. "No more rangers will ruin our conquest!"

Back on Earth


"Bones, wake up." Crimzen called, prodding him with his foot. The devilish looking alien awoke. "What happened, Captain?" he asked the Amaranthian.

"Explosion separated us." Crimzen replied to the Devalian.

"I see." Bones rose. "And we're still in the forest."

"You and I are, at least." Crimzen sighed.

Crimzen and Bones began to walk.

"The Zang came out of nowhere huh?" A voice came from the forest, everywhere at once. The two pirates froze.

A man in black pants and shoes, and a black cloak stood above them. He removed the hood, to reveal himself as Nick Russell, the former Red Mystic ranger. Of course, the pirates did not know that.

"He's wearing black! He must be the guy from ORACLE's prophecy!" Bones was hoping up and down in excitement.

"You know about the great treasure?" Crimzen asked.

"Yes, but-" Nick jumped down, landing in front of the pirates. "-you can't get it now."

"Why not?" Crimzen folded his arms.

"Because look at you! You haven't even mastered the Ranger powers. You probably haven't even unlocked one True Power yet." Nick began to walk away.

"Wait! Explain! What's a True Power?"

Nick smirked. "I'll tell you, but only if you can catch me!" He raced off, tossing off one condition over his shoulder. "Without Transforming!"

"Alright, then." Crimzen cracked his knuckles. "Game on!" He began to rush off, but Bones stopped him.

"Captain, what if Zang are still around? We should wait, investigate, try to strategize before we move."

"That is an interesting argument Bones." Crimzen patted his crewmate's shoulder. "Here's my counter." Crimzen bolted off after Nick. Bones paused to call the others before he would have to inevitably chase after his leader.

Just outside the Forest

"Sorry Bones, we're going to be a little late." Sanna informed her friend as she, Joe, and Allie were surrounded by Cy-Born. They quickly morphed and blew them all away.

"Let's do something different today." Sanna declared, pulling out a black ranger key. Joe and Allie followed her lead.

"Black Aquitar Ranger power!" Sanna shouted, turning the key in her morpher

"Dino Thunder, Power up!" Joe declared.

"RPM, GET IN GEAR!" Allie screamed.

In a flash, all three became the Black rangers they had chosen. They leaped back into battle.

With Nick, Crimzen and Bones, the Wizard was easily outpacing the pirates. Didn't even need Fireheart! He thought to himself. As if he spoke too soon, the Pirates burst up through the forest. Nick turned, pointing his wand at them. A flame jumped from his wand, igniting in a circle around the two pirates.

"We're trapped, eh?" An amused grin flickered across Crimzen's face.

"Now what Captain?" Bones asked, starting to sweat from fear and the heat.

"No way out but through!" Crimzen started for the flames but Bones stopped him.

"Captain! You can't!"

"What's wrong Bones?"

"Captain, are you really so unafraid of dying? I don't get you! These aren't illusions! They're very real flames! We could get burned or worse! We-" Bones had begun babbling, so Crimzen performed the standard maneuver that every Space Captain learns for a panicking teammate. He smacked Bones across the face. Bones landed on his butt.

"Better?" Crimzen asked.

"Better. Now how are we getting out?"

Instead of a verbal answer, Crimzen patted Bones' shoulder before tossing him through the flames! The red eyed man jumped through immediately behind his crew member, and both landed outside the circle.

"You think too much sometimes, Bones. Sometimes, you have to act without thinking, before fear catches up to you. You understand?" Crimzen asked the slightly dazed younger man.

"Yes, Captain." Bones rose. "Let's catch that guy!" The two pirates ran off to catch the elusive wizard.

Joe used the Brachio staff in his signature one hand behind the back stance. He slashed and parried, sending a Cy-born to the ground before spinning around to block a strike. Joe circled the blade around in a circle, faster and faster, before disengaging and slashing the Cy-Born down. "Brachio Staff! Earth Strike!" He yelled, slamming the staff into the ground, causing a massive explosion to take out multiple Cy-Born.

"Rocket Blaster!" Allie fired the cannon while standing on a rock, felling five Cy-Born. Reaching down she retrieved the Nitro blaster as well and double fired straight through, blowing up a small army of Cy-Born in 1 move!

Sanna used the Aquitar ranger saber with ease, slashing down three Cy-born easily. Then two struck her from behind! The girl fell, leaving only her clothes behind.

As the confused Cy-Born approached, however, Sanna burst from the ground! "See ya! Star Strike!" She yelled, and with five quick slashes of her Saber, created a star symbol that exploded, destroying the unfortunate Cy-Born.

"And that's it. Bye now!" Sanna waved the (still very dead) Cy-Born goodbye as Joe and Allie regrouped with her.

"You're right." Unguis approached the Rangers. "This is it!" He slashed with his whip at the rangers, causing another mass explosion!

The Pirate Captain and the Medic ran after Nick, right into a Mystical tree. As they came out the other side, they were attacked by a dragon!

"Run!" Bones screamed and the two took off, running through the foggy forest at top speed.

All of a sudden, Crimzen stopped running. "We're going the wrong way, Bones." He turned back around. "If we want our prize, we have to go TOWARD danger, not away from it." With that he ran toward the dragon.

"Captain, this is a bad idea!" Bones yelled, running after him.

Crimzen timed it as he ran, and right before the dragon shot its' flame, grabbed Bones and jumped as high as he could! The two pirates landed on the dragon's back, jumping off immediately to land behind it.

The dragon kept moving forward, with no room among the trees to circle back.

"And we keep it moving." Crimzen snarked. The two continued to run after Nick.

"He got away, huh?" Joe sighed. Unguis had vanished in the ensuing explosion.

"He must want to destroy all five of us at once." Allie speculated.

"So now what?" Sanna sat down on a rock, exhausted.

"We find the Captain. He'll know what to do." Allie answered.

"And Bones." Joe reminded her.

In the forest, the chase was nearing conclusion.

"We got you now, you fleet footed jerk!" Crimzen declared.

"Yeah, just one small problem." Nick gestured to the canyon between them.
"Give me a second." Crimzen took a few steps back. "Let's see. It's only about 45 feet. We can jump it, Bones!"

Bones took one look at the long fall below and curled up. "This won'tworkThis won'tworkThis won'tworkThiswon'twork." He muttered to himself.

"Fine, I'll jump it." Crimzen sighed. He took another step back, then ran forward, jumping off at the very last second. Crimzen seemed to almost glide as he grew closer to the opposite Cliff face. 3/4ths of the way there, however, and Unguis burst out of the ground, knocking Crimzen off course! The two battled for a second before Crimzen managed to free his Power Cutlass and slashed Unguis away, before planting it into the cliff side. "I really hate that guy." Crimzen muttered to himself. "Bones! Catch that guy!"

"Are you crazy, Captain! I can't! It's dangerous!"

"What did I say earlier? If we want our prize, we have to go toward danger!" As Crimzen tried to encourage his friend, the rock started to crack!

"CRIMZEN!" Bones eyes hardened. His friend would not die because of his cowardice! Bones backed up, set the path in his head and leaped! He landed beside Nick, but paid the wizard no mind as he activated the rope and anchor function on his Cutlass, throwing it down to Crimzen. The Pirate leader grabbed the rope, pulling the sword out just in the nick of time. The rock began to crumble. With one mighty heave, Bones launched Crimzen skyward, and the red eyed man landed behind Nick, grabbing him by the cloak before the wizard could react.

"Got you." Crimzen smirked.

"You sure did." Nick smirked at Bones. "Congratulations, kid."

"For what?" Bones asked, scratching his head.

"You finally believed in yourself, and that you could do something you thought was impossible, if the cause was right. That is the True Power of the Mystic Force rangers." Nick began to walk away, before turning back to the pirates. "If you can master True Powers of the 19 Power Ranger teams, you can find the Great Treasure." Nick smiled, and for a second, an afterimage of his former Ranger identity appeared over him.

"Mystic Force Red?" Crimzen realized with a start.

Nick snapped his fingers, and the dragon from before appeared. "Let's go, Fireheart!" The man climbed aboard the dragon and flew off. "Wow, cool." Bones and Crimzen both whispered in awe.

The three pirates who had been separated showed up. "Crimzen, Bones! You're OK!" Allie cried out.

"You sent me to the bottom of a cliff!" Unguis was back as well.

"And of course he's still alive." Crimzen rolled his eyes. "Ready, Bones?" He asked.

"Ready Captain!" Bones nodded sharply.

"SET SAIL!" The two Rangers morphed.

Bones spun his Flintlock Blaster. "Let's go crazy!" He yelled.

"What he said." Crimzen replied, and all five rangers fired on Unguis, knocking him off his perch. The Rangers pulled out their Cutlasses and followed him down.

Unguis rose up, having hit the ground below the cliff. "Cy-Born arms, Let's go crazy too!" He roared, summoning three Cy-Born Arms.

The rangers charged in. Crimzen squared off against the first Cy-Born Arms, and thrust toward it. When it dodged his first strike, he followed with another, that was just as quickly dodged. So Crimzen kicked out, catching the cybernetically reconstructed alien in the side, leaving it open for a brutal slash.

Joe, quick as lightning, hit his opponent with three quick slashes, striking so fast and hard, the Cy-Born had no way to counter and spun to face away from him as it fell.

Allie and Sanna teamed up, pushing their opponent back. As it reared back, Allie slashed low. Sanna followed up with a high slash, spinning it around. The girls finished it with a dual slash to the face.

Bones fought Unguis, who blocked his first sword slash. Bones wrenched the sword away, and went for a two handed strike. Unfortunately, Unguis was faster, dodging the blow and wrapping the blade up with his whips. He slashed Bones with his claws, sending him flying.

Bones landed beside the other rangers.

"Time to go, rangers!" Unguis turned away from them and activated his tail again, causing another round of explosions. Then, he faced them again, aimed his Claw, and fired off two large blasts of fire-like energy balls, felling the rangers.

"This is bad." Joe stated.

"So, let's try something else!" Bones held up his green mystic key.

"Smart. Home field advantage too." Crimzen nodded. The pirates all got out the Mystic Force keys.

"MAGICAL SOURCE, MYSTIC FORCE!" The Rangers yelled, turning the keys in their morphers and turning into the Mystic force team.

"Power Rangers Mystic Force!" They yelled and posed as one. A ringing sound interrupted them. They checked the Mystic Force Cells.

Three numbers glowed brightly. "New Spell?" Bones wondered. "Let's use it!" Allie declared. Crimzen nodded and the rangers typed in the glowing numbers.

The spell hit, wrapping Unguis in his own whip.

Sanna leveled her weapon at the Elite, firing lightning bolts that exploded on contact! Joe followed up with a wave attack that hit with the force of a geyser! Allie raised her wand high, summoning a pink tornado to buffet the Elite! Bones flipped his ax-wand before slamming it into the ground, summoning green vines to pummel Unguis! And finally, Crimzen rose high into the air on a streak of flame, before slashing through Unguis with the very same flame streak. That finished, and as Unguis lay vulnerable, the rangers transformed back into their pirate forms.

"Let's finish him, Crimzen!" Bones shook his Captain's shoulder.

"Right." The Rangers inserted their Pirate keys into their Flintlock blasters. As one they leveled the barrels at Unguis.

"FINAL BLAST!" They yelled, then fired. The energy bullets struck the Elite and he short circuited and exploded, falling lifeless to the ground

"Lykia!" Payne yelled.

"Firing the Magna Cannons." Lykia aimed the controller at the Earth, and the cannons fired!

Unguis and his three Cy-Born Arms revived!

"Yeah. Saw that coming." Captain Crimzen called the ship around. As it appeared from the sky, the rangers grabbed hold to the ropes dangling from it to enter.

They wasted no time forming the Pirate Megazord.

"Show them your new trick!" Unguis demanded. The Cy Born arms transformed, morphing into giant space ships and raining down laser fire on the pirates.

"We can't win! They have us beat with aerial superiority!" Joe decided.

"We're pirates!" Bones snapped back. "We can do anything if we believe!" At his words, the Mystic Force keys began to float and glow.

"I guess they agree!" Crimzen grinned cockily underneath his helmet! "Time to show them Mystic Force's TRUE POWER!" The rangers inserted the Mystic force keys into their ship wheels and turned them. The whole Megazord glowed before sprouting dragon wings, talons, and a Dragon head and neck from its chest.

"Mystic Pirate Megazord!" The rangers announced.

"Attack!" Unguis roared, and the blue ships flew off. The Rangers took flight! With a single blast of Dragon Fire, they destroyed one of the ships.

"Don't they know dragons own the sky?" Bones joked.

As if in agreement, the dragon disengaged from the main robot to slash through the second ship and incinerate the third with another burst of magical fire.

"YEAH!" Sanna yelled.

The Dragon fused back with the Megazord before it could crash into the ground. The Megazord landed safely.

"Now, let's finish him off once and for all!" The Captain declared. The rangers turned the keys once more

"LET'S GO! MYSTIC SPELL SEAL!" The rangers roared. The Dragon flew off the Megazord again, flying around Unguis to create two spell seals that exploded, finally destroying Unguis once and for all.

"So that's the True Power of Mystic Force. Amazing!" Bones held up his Green Mystic Force key in wonder.

Nick smiled at the triumphant rangers before flying off on his own dragon, Fireheart.

Later that day.

"We're one step closer to the Great Treasure, huh Captain?" Bones asked.

"Yep. Hey Bones?"

Bones turned. The Captain gave the younger man a two fingered salute from his chair. "You did good today."

TODAY'S ENDING THEME! MYSTIC FORCE!
