It also marks Imperious's death as he warns about a new evil to come straight after this episode.

Synopsis[]

Part 1[]

Daggeron and Udonna finally tell the Rangers, in detail, the full story of the Great War... including revealing to them the stories of the sorcerers' husband, Leanbow, and long-lost son, Bowen. Meanwhile, Imperious realizes the best way to usurp the Master is get rid of Koragg.

Part 2[]

Koragg was really Leanbow all this time. Nick finds out he's really Leanbow and Udonna's son. In the end, Leanbow finishes what he started and goes down fighting the Master back into his hole.

Plot[]

Part 1[]

Quietly, Imperious walks towards the Master, casting glances all around him. Imperious is holding a potion.
Imperious: "Time is running out. I must strike the Master now, or I will never rule the underworld."
Imperious is about to pour the potion over the hole, where the Master can be seen.
Koragg: "What are you up to, Imperious?"
Startled, Imperious drops the potion and turns around to face Koragg.
Imperious: "Nothing, just working on a potion."
Koragg tells Imperious that when the Master rises, he will be the first in command. Koragg walks away and Imperious realizes that he will never be able to get rid of the Master with Koragg around, and so decides on a new plan of action... to make Koragg favor him.

Nick and Daggeron are training; each have one hand bonded to the other, armed a sword in the other hand - they are battling each other, all while the other Rangers and Udonna are watching. Udonna explains the rules to Xander. Eventually Nick outmanoeuvres and defeats Daggeron, before telling him that he is a great teacher as they join the others. Daggeron tells them he has learnt from the best. Chip blurts out that Daggeron was taught by Leanbow - Udonna is surprised and Chip realizes he has let his secret slip; Daggeron tells Udonna that Leanbow was a great man and it's time for the teens to learn about him and Udonna agrees - the Rangers are confused and ask who Leanbow is; Udonna states that Leanbow is her husband and suggests they go to Root Core, where they will learn more.

In the pit, Imperious, with Koragg and Necrolai also on the scene, comes up with another of his genius ideas: he tells them the way to destroy the Rangers is to take away their Legendary powers. Necrolai replies that it would be impossible - Imperious agrees that it would be for him, but not for Koragg, who he tells to perform this theft, the Master commands it. Koragg walks away to do battle with the Rangers, and on his way out, he has more flashbacks of an infant wrapped in a red blanket.

Elsewhere, the Rangers, Daggeron and Udonna are on the balcony of Root Core. Udonna tells the teens her story, with Daggeron standing by her side, of her peaceful time with Leanbow and her baby son, Bowen, Leanbow training Daggeron and of their friendship within the close knit group, including her sister Niella. Then the great war occurs; Leanbow, Niella, and Daggeron fight bravely in the war's events. Leanbow had come up with a plan that Niella protested against. They were joined by their friend, Calindor. There was also great fear for Bowen, the baby of two magical parents, who had the potential to destroy the dark magic - this means Bowen is in great danger and so therefore given to Daggeron to get to safety. As Daggeron races along, he is betrayed by Calindor. Daggeron places the baby down and clashes with Calindor. Evil had made Calindor more powerful and the battle curses them both. Daggeron and Udonna find out later, that Phineas had both found and taken Bowen to the human realm for safety. Leanbow had continued the battle on all fronts and ended up at the gates. As the teens know, Niella sacrifices herself to seal the gates which Leanbow enters to continue the battle inside - they are sacrificing themselves to protect all. The story hits a chord with the teens. Koragg contacts Nick for battle. The teens are more than ready to take on Koragg and promise Udonna that Leanbow's and Niella's sacrifice will not be forgotten. The teens and Daggeron leave to battle.

Koragg is waiting for the Rangers, as soon as whom arrive, battle begins. At one point, Koragg offers them a place beside the Master if they give him their Legend powers - the Rangers refuse and morph into Legend mode as the battle continues.

Meanwhile, Daggeron enters another dimension, where Imperious appears and welcomes him to the Dimension of Wandering Souls. Imperious calls forth his Ancient Mystic armor and tells Daggeron that he is sorry and wants to come back to the side of good and this instantly leaves Daggeron unsure what to think; he takes his time answering and Imperious uses this to blast Daggeron, before returning to his normal self and telling him that he is a fool. Daggeron then responds with a morph into Solaris Knight and a battle with Imperious. Soon, Imperious tells Solaris Knight that the Rangers will be captured and brought to the pit where their power will be used to raise the Master; he then casts a self-enlargement spell and so Solaris Knight quickly responds by summoning the Solar Streak Megazord. Solaris Knight and Jenji resume battle with Imperious.

At the real world, the Rangers continue their battle with Koragg, who the Rangers are successfully doing well against.

Meanwhile, Solaris Knight is not doing so well. Imperious drains the Megazord of its power and soon Solaris Knight is demorphed to the ground. Imperious then summons the souls of the past warriors Leanbow has defeated and forms the Chimera monster that then attacks Daggeron who soon vanishes.

At Root Core, Udonna watches the the stirring and unfolding events in horror from the crystal ball.

The Rangers are battling Koragg when the Chimera appears through a dark seal and engages the Rangers in battle - Koragg realizes that Imperious had used a forbidden spell. Chimera is too powerful for the Rangers who are soon caught in a dark seal and sent de-morphing to the Underworld where they are soon held tightly by several Hidiacs upon their arrival at the pit. Imperious thanks the teens for letting him have the Legend powers. Leelee walks in and the teens fear that she has been captured as well - the teens assure Leelee that they will rescue her which she hopes so as the place is too dreary for her. The Rangers receive a shock when Necrolai refers to Leelee as her daughter who asks her mom if she can keep the teens when they are through - Necrolai assures her that she can.

At Root Core, Udonna, who Clare is also on the scene with, casts a spell on the crystal ball to find out what happened to the Rangers in that she is fearful as the Rangers have been gone for too long. The crystal ball fills with dark smoke. Udonna decides she needs to use the Book of Dark Spells - Clare is alarmed, warning Udonna that if she does, she will lose her magical powers and become human; Udonna has no time to waste and tells Clare that she either has to help her or leave - Clare, very reluctantly, helps Udonna with a potion from the Book.

At the pit, the Rangers are now contained and Imperious is ready to start the procedure that will drain the Rangers of their Legend powers, which Koragg does not approve of the act of and Imperious responds that he does not care and the Master peers in as well. The draining enchantment instantly begins and soon the Rangers are in a great deal of pain as a part of such a process; Leelee expresses some concern over the team and asks her mom if they will be okay afterwards - Necrolai tells her they will be.

Suddenly, Udonna leaps down and breaks the spell before she turns around and faces Imperious, who tells Udonna she has angered the Master - in response, the Master beams strong, red lasers that wrap around and lift Udonna from the ground, issuing a great deal of pain - the teens are helpless to do anything to help her. Udonna lands on the ground with the lasers still wrapped around her - it bothers Koragg to see Udonna in so much pain, while Leelee is alarmed as well; Imperious simply laughs - a sign that the ignorance of others' misfortunes is Imperious' view. Koragg grows more and more conflicted as he watches Udonna in pain; memories begin to flash through him of a young Udonna, and himself as a wizard. The Rangers can only look on in horror as they can do nothing. Koragg suddenly runs forward and, using his sword, breaks the spell the Master has on Udonna - Koragg is reverted instantly to a man's Ancient Mystic armor; the teens are stunned and Imperious is now horrified, but at the same time, the Rangers are also broken free from the spell. Udonna looks up weakly before the Ancient Mystic armor vanishes and the man turns around - Udonna can hardly believe that the man is none other than Leanbow.

Part 2[]

Udonna, following the final events of part 1, runs towards Leanbow.
Udonna: "Leanbow, could it really be you?!"
Udonna and Leanbow then hug.
Leanbow: "I don't know how to explain... but it's true - I am alive."
Madison: "This is unbelievable."
Nick is convinced that this is a trick of Koragg's. Imperious informs them that Leanbow may have survived, but Solaris Knight didn't.

In the Dimension of Wandering Souls, Jenji survives from the sand and coughs out Daggeron. Jenji complains and Daggeron assures him it was much worse for him. Daggeron tells Jenji they must go and stop Imperious.

In the Underworld, Imperious decides to finish what he has started and begins to cast a spell which Leanbow counters with one of his own - Leanbow then casts a teleportation spell that takes him, Udonna and the Rangers from the pit; Leelee is very disappointed at everything she is witnessing.

Leanbow, Udonna and the Rangers arrive in the surface. Although Udonna has no doubts about Leanbow, the Rangers are hesitant; Nick points out various times that, as Koragg, Leanbow had almost destroyed them and his wife - Leanbow does not blame them. The Rangers then sit as Leanbow tries to explain what happened to him after the gates were sealed - Leanbow's plan had been working and the Master was sinking into the pit, but suddenly the Master casts a spell that morphed Leanbow into the devoted Koragg; as Koragg, Leanbow had remembered nothing of his life until the battle where he removed the virus from their Manticore Megazord. After that, flashes of his former life began to emerge. The Rangers still remain skeptical. Leanbow is sorry. Udonna knows how strong the Master's magic is before she walks towards her husband, when she suddenly stumbles - the Rangers catch her in response and Leanbow races over; Udonna tells Leanbow that she use a spell from the Book of Dark Spells and now she is vulnerable as any human. Imperious then teleports onto the scene. Leanbow tells Udonna that she cannot stay as she is in no condition to fight - Udonna protests and the Rangers agree as well; Despite Udonna's protest, Leanbow casts a teleportation spell that takes Udonna to Root Core where she collapses onto the floor - Clare races over.

Necrolai, Imperious and the Chimera face down Leanbow while the Rangers morph into action. The Master still has control over Leanbow and begins making his presence felt: Leanbow cries out in pain and uses his Ancient Mystic armor but Necrolai still grabs a hold of him. Chimera attacks the Rangers as Necrolai disappears through a dark seal with Leanbow. Solaris Knight teleports onto the scene while riding on a unicorn, firing a few Laser Lamp shots upon arrival to delay the Chimera's attack for time, and informs the Rangers that the unicorn is their new friend Brightstar who can travel through dimensions and combine with their Zords. The skies clear and Solaris Knight and Imperious agree to a bond battle, teleporting to a separate setting for this battle.

In the pit, Necrolai drags Leanbow to the hole where the Master both regains control of and re-morphs Leanbow into Koragg.

Koragg reborn (2)

The Master re-morphs Leanbow against his will into Koragg.

Imperious and Daggeron face each other as Jenji introduces them. The combatants assume their Ancient Mystic armors and the bond battle, through Jenji's announcing, immediately begins.

Meanwhile, Red Ranger is still upset over Koragg being Leanbow but soon the Rangers have no time as a giant Chimera appears - to this end, Red Ranger rides Brightstar into battle with both morphing to Mystic Titan form to form the Phoenix Unizord for the battle. A second later, the other Rangers fly into action now morphed as the Mystic Dragon - the Zord battle with Chimera is now starting to intensify. Soon, the Mystic Dragon is defeated and Madison, Vida, Chip and Xander demorph to the ground. To complicate matters, Koragg and Catastros, as the Centaurus Wolf Megazord, soon arrive.

At Root Core, Clare cares for Udonna who soon hears the crystal ball and gets up, despite Clare's protests that she should rest. Udonna and Clare look at the crystal ball and Udonna is devastated that Leanbow has re-morphed against his will into Koragg.

At the real world, Red Ranger destroys Chimera first and then starts battling Koragg.

Solaris Knight and Imperious continue with their bond battle.

In the pit, Necrolai is thrilled that the Legend powers worked and the Master is able to rise.

Red Ranger and Koragg are still in their Zord form fight, but soon a strong blow from both sides has them knocked out of Zord form instantly - despite this, Red Ranger and Koragg continue the clash. Eventually, Red Ranger's Magi Staff's Sword Mode is knocked out of his hand, but instantly Koragg refuses to fight an unarmed opponent and so tosses Red Ranger's Magi Staff back, resulting in the battle's resumption - Red Ranger, still angry, wants to know why Koragg never destroyed them when he had the opportunity. Madison, Vida, Chip and Xander continue to serve as the battle's audience; Madison thinks she knows the answer and the rest of the Rangers agree: the reason Koragg never destroyed them while the potential chance was there is because there is still a small part of Leanbow inside.

Elsewhere, Daggeron and Imperious continue with their face-off. Eventually, Daggeron wins the battle, but Imperious cheats by knocking Jenji back in his lamp and attacking Daggeron with lasers; Daggeron is knocked out of his Ancient Mystic armor with Imperious following suit. Daggeron and Imperious continue to battle and Daggeron finally destroys Imperious who then tells Daggeron, before vanishing into dust, that with his destruction, a more powerful Terror will arise.

At Root Core, Udonna is devastated over re-losing Leanbow to the Master; soon Clare tells Udonna that she once told her anything is possible with magic. But Udonna has lost all hope. Clare covers Udonna with a red blanket which Udonna immediately recognizes as the one she used with Bowen and so sits up and asks Clare where she found the blanket - Clare tells her that it was in Nick's backpack, but she doesn't think Nick will mind; Udonna tells Clare that she does believe in magic and races out with the blanket. Clare is happy to see Udonna so joyful.

Koragg and Red Ranger's battle is still unfinished. Eventually Koragg strikes a powerful blow that demorphs Nick - the battle is now closed; Koragg is ready to deliver the final strike now that the chance is available when Udonna screams at Leanbow to stop - Koragg stops instantly and Udonna walks up to him; Udonna, addressing Koragg as Leanbow, tells him that Nick is their son, Bowen and then tells Nick that she knew there was a reason for him being here: Nick/Bowen is destined to be the most powerful wizard of them all and so, with that, Koragg reaches over to touch Nick's face and then demorphs to Leanbow for a second time - Vida, Xander, Madison and Chip are astonished at the turn of events. It takes Nick several moments to take in the fact that Udonna is his mother and Leanbow is his father; the reunion is short-lived as the Master breaks into the surface world. Leanbow casts a spell that won't allow Udonna and the Rangers to move as he goes into Ancient Mystic armor to finish the battle he had started with the Master, the battle now being held at the pit.

Leanbow manages to re-sink the Master back into the depths but he is trapped with him as well; the pit crumbles all around Necrolai who is there as well. After the defeat of the Master, the Legend power is returned to the Rangers. Udonna realizes she has re-lost Leanbow. Nick walks up to his mom and places his hand on her shoulder, giving her a small bit of comfort.

Inside Root Core, Daggeron is talking to Nick about what they still have to face, informing Nick about Leanbow, but Nick doesn't want to hear it - he does not care if Leanbow is his father or not... Leanbow had spent the last several months trying to destroy them. Daggeron and Nick argue until Udonna walks in and tells them what a pleasant day it is and asks Nick how come he hasn't cleaned up Root Core. Daggeron decides to give them some privacy and walks away. Udonna is very confident in Leanbow's return and tells Nick she has not lost her senses. Yesterday, Udonna thought she had lost them both forever, now she knows anything is possible. Nick comments that he has finally found his mom and now he is doing chores, but goes off to do them. Udonna smiles.

Cast[]

Errors[]

  • In Pt II, initially during Nick's battle with Koragg in the quarry, it appears to start to rain in scenes with the rest of the Rangers unmorphed watching on the sidelines while there is no rain in Nick and Koragg's scenes. Additionally the weather and lighting switches repeatedly between being overcast in Power Ranger footage and sunny in Sentai footage. Once Nick demorphs, subsequent scenes are all sunny.

Notes[]

  • This is the first time, since its debut, that the Manticore Megazord makes no appearance.
  • This marks the return of Mystic Dragon since episode 12
  • Koragg's real identity is revealed to be Leanbow.
  • Nick Russell (the Red Mystic Ranger) is revealed to be Udonna and Leanbow's missing son Bowen.
  • Imperious, in the events of Part 2, is destroyed after Chimera's destruction in the same part of this 2-part story - therefore Imperious's Ancient Mystic armor identity, Calindor, is removed from existence.
  • Leelee's relation to Necrolai and connection to the Morlocks is finally revealed to the Rangers in this 2-part story.
  • This marks the final appearance of Imperious.
  • This is the only appearance of Brightstar and the Phoenix Unizord.
  • This is the second time that, during a battle with a Red Ranger, the enemy refuses to fight an unarmed opponent - in this case, the battle is between Nick and Koragg; The first time was with Jack and Katana in Power Rangers S.P.D.'s "Samurai"
  • In Part 1, during training, for those who read lips, Chip appears to saying a hidden cuss word.
  • The spell Imperious casts, Megaro Zanga Meru Douza, is similar to Meemy's spell in Magiranger
  • The end of Part 1, in which Koragg reverts back to Leanbow after saving Udonna, could be seen as a homage to the Star Wars franchise film Return of the Jedi when Darth Vader saves Luke Skywalker from Emperor Palpatine.
  • In this episode, Imperious pronounces 'Chimera' correctly: 'kye-MERE-uh'. In "Lions & Blizzards", from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, season 1, Alpha 5 mispronounces it as 'shih-MARE-uh'.
