CHAPTER NINETEEN - DARK WISH, PART 2

𝓣𝙰𝙽𝙽𝙴𝚁

"OH, NO." Madison exclaimed. "The Rock Porium!" Xander said. We all watched in disbelief as we saw Toby. "Toby?" Vida questioned. Toby headed over to us. "Hey, guys." Toby started off. We all chuckled. "I was worried about you. I thought that... who are those two?" Toby asked, looking over to where Nick and I were.

"What?" Madison asked as all of us laughed. "At least he's still got his sense of humor." Nick said. "You really had us worried there, Toby." I added. We all laughed again. "No, seriously, who are those two?" Toby asked again.

"Toby, what happened to Rock Porium? What happened to all the color?" Vida asked. "You— You're trying to mess with me. You don't remember how the darkness took over?" Toby asked. We all looked confused.

"Four months ago." Toby said. "Guys, something's happened. The world as we know it has changed. Four months ago is when I first came to Briarwood, and we became... you know who." Nick said. "That makes sense. I didn't come to Briarwood until a month after. And I was well... evil." I added. "Hey, guys, do you hear? I got... music." Toby started off as he played music.

"I still have to listen to it, even though it's been banned." Toby explained. "Banned music? Toby, who banned it?" Chip asked. That's when a dark circle suddenly showed up and a few foot soldiers grabbed Toby.

"Hey, they can't do that!" Nick said as we watched one of the foot soldiers crush the music player. "Let's Ranger up." Nick informed. All of us went to grab our morphers but they were gone. Almost like they never existed.

"I understand now. This was my vision. A world where Power Rangers never existed. That was the wish..." I think to myself. "Our morphers." Xander said. The foot soldiers went passed us. "We'd better get to Root Core." Nick informed. "Yeah." Vida agreed as the rest of us followed him.

Nick tried to go through the tree but he ended up being thrown back. There was no magic portal to take us. We ended up having to take the long way through the forest until we stopped at Root Core. Though the dragon head wasn't lively like it always was. It was dead and dull.

"No. No!" Chip said. Vida grabbed onto Madison's shoulder. She looked like she was about to cry any minute. We stepped towards the dragon head. Xander picked up a piece of a magic book. "What happened here?" Xander asked.

"What happened everywhere." Nick corrected him. "Get away from here! My home. Get away. Mine. Go, go!" Udonna said. "Udonna, don't you remember us? You taught us everything we know. We're the Power Rangers. We're the Mystic Force." Madison reminded her.

"Liars. The legendary ones never came. I waited for them. They never came. Only the darkness, Only the darkness." Udonna said. Suddenly, Clare came up. "There you are I've been looking ev—" She stopped when she saw us. We all laughed nervously.

"Who are you? So you better not try and harm us." Clare informed. "Clare, we would never harm you." Xander stated. "You know my name? You must be one of them!" Clare accused. "No. I'm not one of them. None of us are, believe me. We're your friends." Chip told her.

"Clare, it's the truth. Listen, please tell us what happened. What happened to Briarwood? What happened to Root Core? What happened to you and Udonna?" Nick asked. "Don't you know what happened? There's no more good magic in the world." Clare replied.

All of us were walking in the forest. "Let's see. We've lost Jenji. We're no longer Power Rangers. We no longer have any magic. In fact, there's no longer any good magic, and the world's ruled by the dark forces. This is officially about as bad as it gets." Chip stated.

Suddenly, Koragg showed up. I got into a fighting stance next to Xander. "I've been looking for you." Koragg said as he set his sword down. "We need to talk." Koragg said. "We don't talk, not to you." Nick told him. Koragg growled. Nick grabbed his sword as we all rushed over to stop him.

"You know me, Nick. I love the battle as much as the next guy, but let's hear what he has to say." Vida said. "We have no more magic, Nick. It's over." Madison added as she placed her hands on his shoulders. Nick relaxed as Madison took Koragg's sword from him. "We'll talk." She said, handing the sword to him.

Koragg took his sword. "The world we knew has changed. You must tell me what you know of this." Koragg demanded. "All we know is that our world changed soon after Solaris and I lost his genie to that... bulldog and the yeti." Vida answered. "Of course. Your knight lost his genie, and Imperious made him grant a wish that the Power Rangers never existed." Koragg explained.

"We should've known that traffic light was the reason for all of this." I commented. "Okay, how about the bulldog and the yeti?" Xander asked. "Fightoe and 50 Below— They work for Imperious, and they are as much my enemies as they are yours." Koragg replied. We all looked confused.

"Excuse me? Am I missing something? You and that mummy have been trying to turn us into vapor for months, and now you're saying that you don't like the new guys because they got rid of us?" Chip asked. "Chip's right. You've tried to destroy us for God knows how long. And now you're upset that we're finally gone?" I added.

"Not because they did, but how they did it and how they tried to get rid of me. But most of all, those two are planning to overthrow the Master." Koragg explained. "So you want darkness to rule the world, but not if they don't do it nicely." Nick said. All of us laughed.

Koragg went up to Nick. "Without honor, victory is meaningless. It is the one thing in this world that no one can take from you. I would battle them myself, but my magical powers have also been taken away. But I can help you get your powers back and defeat Fightoe and 50 Below." Koragg said.

Nick laughed. "And you guys took his sword away from me." Nick stated. "No, no, no, no, no. Think about this. What choice do we really have? We know the outcome the way things are now. At least Koragg's way we still might have a fighting chance." Xander said.

We followed Koragg through the forest. "You must go to the tribunal of magic and ask them to reverse the wish. It's the only way." Koragg explained. "And you're gonna take us to them?" Vida asked. "The tribunal resides in another dimension. I no longer have the magic to transport you. You'll have to go with him." Koragg replied as he pointed to Fire Heart.

"Far out! Fire Heart!" Chip said. We all laughed. We headed towards Fire Heart and that's when he attacked us. "He doesn't remember us. We raised him from an egg." Madison said. "No, you didn't. You never found the egg. I did. I raised him. He's my dragon. Northrax Untham Sondor! He will take you now." Koragg told us. "Thanks." Nick said. "Go with honor." Koragg said. We all hopped onto Fire Heart and flew away. "This is amazing!" Chip exclaimed.

"You guys have got to admit, this is one exciting adventure. Not knowing where we're going, not knowing when we're gonna get there. Not even knowing if we're gonna get back!" Chip said. "Yeah, really exciting." Nick said sarcastically. We suddenly got attacked. "Going somewhere?" Necrolai asked. Necrolai kept attacking us as we flew by her. "Go, Fire Heart!" Nick said as Fire Heart attacked her.

Fire Heart let out a breath as a portal appeared. We entered it. We arrived in a desert. "Thanks, Fire Heart." Xander said. "What is this place?" Vida asked. "Uh, guys, I'm not so sure about this place anymore. I mean, I know I said it was an exciting adventure and all, but... I think we'd be better off going back to Briarwood." Chip said. That's when Fire Heart started leaving.

"There goes our way out of here." Nick said. We began walking through the desert. "You'd think they'd at least have some signs out here." Xander commented. "Sure, something like, "Secret Tribunal of Magic three miles ahead."" Vida said. "Yeah, well, at least we would know if we were headed in the right direction." Madison stated. That's when a sand warrior suddenly appeared from the sand. We all got into a fighting stance.

"Why have you come here, humans?" The warrior asked. "That's none of your business." Nick replied. The sand warrior got out his sword. "Let me handle this one." Xander told Nick. "Hi. The name's Xander. We just flew into this dimension on a dragon, and we're looking for The Tribunal of Magic." Xander explained.

"Tribunal of Magic?" The warrior questioned. "Yeah." Xander said. "Then you're headed in the right direction." The sand guard told us. "Excellent." Xander said. "Then we'll just be on the way." Xander continued. We started to go until the sand guard stopped us. "But to get to the Tribunal of Magic, you have to get by every warrior that's tried to get there and failed." The warrior said.

Other warriors popped up from the sand. "Well, if that's the only way." Vida said. The warriors headed down towards us. I began fighting one of the warriors. I flipped one of them over. I continued fighting them until they disappeared. The main warrior handed Nick a key. "Use it wisely." The sand warrior said as he disappeared. We continued walking through the desert. "A key to a treasure chest? Maybe it's a key to a castle, or it could be a key to a..." Chip started off.

"Door." Nick finished. "That's odd." Madison said as we saw two doors. "Well, this is interesting. Two doors in the middle of nowhere... leading to nowhere." Vida stated. Madison grabbed the key. "Uh, sis?" Madison said as she unlocked the first door with a key.

We saw Toby handling a bunch of customers. "Guys, it's Briarwood. It's the Rock Porium. Even the color's back. Guys, it's home." Vida said. "And it looks like Toby needs our help. What are we waiting for?" Chip asked. "Wait. I know this sounds weird, and weirder coming from me, but that's home and safe, and I don't think it's the door for us." Madison said.

"You're right. It doesn't sound like you. Guys, the Tribunal of Magic is offering us a way home. I say we take it." Xander said. "I say we don't. We came to find a tribunal and reverse the wish. We go home now because we're scared or it's an easy way out or it looks like everything's back to normal, then we deserve to live the rest of our lives without magic." Nick stated. "Nick's right. We didn't come all this way to take the easy way out." Vida agreed as Madison nodded and closed the door. The door then disappeared into dust.

"Then our only choice is to go through this door." Chip said as he walked up to the second door. He opened it as we saw a portal. "What happens if it gets worse once we're inside?" Xander asked. "Then it gets worse." Nick replied as we followed him through the portal.

All of us appeared from the water. "This is intense." Xander commented. We saw three tribunals appear. "You are the first to get to the tribunal of magic in three centuries." White Tribunal said. "You are wasting our time and yours." Black Tribunal informed. "They have made it this far. They are entitled to be heard. Speak." Red Tribunal said.

"Hi. The name's Xander." Xander started off. "Enough. We do not care about a name. Why are you here?" Black Tribunal asked. "I think you'd better handle this one, Nick." Xander informed. "Well, uh, to cut to the chase, there is this bad guy, Imperious, who stole our genie and made him grant him a wish. He wished that the Power Rangers never existed." Nick explained. "You are the Power Rangers?" White Tribunal asked. "Yeah. I'm yellow. He's red. This is—" Chip started to explain. "Enough. Go home. There is nothing we can do for you." Black Tribunal said.

"Wait. Wait. Wait a second. We were told that you could reverse a genie's wish." Nick told them. "We can." White Tribunal said. "But we won't. Go!" Black Tribunal added. "I don't believe this." Madison said. "Let's go." Vida told us. "Wait. Why is it that you want this wish reversed?" Red Tribunal asked.

"Because our magic has been taken away from us, and dark magic now rules the world." Vida replied. "So your world still has magic." Black Tribunal said. "Well, yeah, but it's dark and evil and icky." Chip explained. "We do not judge good or evil magic. We just ensure that there is magic." Red Tribunal explained.

"Okay, guys, seriously. You can't say dark, evil magic is the same as having good, wondrous magic." Xander stated. "No. It isn't the same." White Tribunal agreed. "I'm curious. Just how was your genie stolen?" Black Tribunal asked. "We had been in battle after battle. We were tired. We asked Solaris to use his genie, and when he did, Jenji was captured." Nick answered.

"And who was responsible for this loss?" Black Tribunal asked. "No one was responsible. It just happened. Sometimes things just happen." Nick replied.

"It would serve you best not to raise your voice. We are not the ones responsible for losing your genie." Red Tribunal informed. "And what? You're saying we are?" Nick asked. "I think it best we change the subject. Let's see. What would you do if we were to grant the reversal of the wish?" White Tribunal asked.

"We would go back and fight the darkness and restore the world to the way it was. And there would be color and laughter, and people could be free." Madison started off. "And Toby would have his store back, and we'd all have music." Nick said. "And Udonna would have Root Core." Vida said. "And we'd have our dragon back." Xander added. "Daggeron would be back as well." I put in. "And I'd have my cape back." Chip finished.

We all looked at him. "What? It may not mean much to you, but it does to me." Chip told us. "They present a good case." White Tribunal said. "Yes." Nick whispered. "We need to confer." Red Tribunal said as Black and White Tribunal walked up to him. "Come on." Nick said. "We admire the ability it took to get here. We applaud the case you presented us. By the powers entrusted in us, we do not grant your request. Go home." Red Tribunal said.

We disappeared as we were back in Briarwood. "All that way... and we failed." Vida said. "Who knew the Tribunal of Magic could be real jerks." I stated. "I can't believe it's over." Xander added.

The foot soldiers grabbed us as they pushed us forward.
