Power Rangers: To The Tenth Power
The Light Is Revealed
by Robert and Mistri, Cho's Observer

"What happened to Dani?" asked Thala, three days after she had joined the Power Rangers. She and Wildrik were still on their expedition.

"We don't know," replied Wildrik. "Sita says she was battling her boss."

"I think we should be very careful, then," said Thala. "Dani doesn't seem to be quite normal. You up for some training?" she added, as Tylai ported in.

"Ranger Astro Morph!" The two of them were morphed and ready, and they began to fight the oncoming onslaught of Tylai. Each were dimly aware of the other Rangers porting in, and Dani's signature flash of teleportation. But Dani made no move to attack; she just watched.

"I suppose things are as they were, Mother," said Sita softly as she fought.

"Indeed, Sita," replied Dani from where she stood, having caught the remark.

However, on a ship far away, a beautiful girl sighed, and shook her head, sending ripples through her long brown hair. She stood, and at once was clad in ancient elven raiment. Her hair was pulled into a twist by invisible hands, and outstretching a hand, a bow appeared in it. Then almost instantly, she was back in her gray pants and jacket, a pink shirt underneath the jacket.

"I suppose it is now time to end my involvement."

Walking onto the bridge, she leaned over and kissed her leader. "I have to go."

"Okay, Owl. Be careful."

"Always am." She loped out of the bridge and run for the jump tubes. She came out morphed and on her glider.

~*~

Valdi, Kylara and Charda were discussing the implications of the prophecy. "I just want to know how we are to bring down Dani," muttered Kylara.

"Well, a lot might depend how Dani operates," commented Charda.

"Actually, according to Radha," said Valdi. "Dani was once good. So if we can break the spell or whatnot, she'll be good again."

Kylara realised she had to run then, and dashed off towards her home, alternating running and hop teleports. She was running past a field, when she saw a pink light suddenly crash into it. Halting, she went over cautiously. She saw a girl, about nineteen or so, flat on her stomach. Blood oozed from many a wound.

"Hey! Are you alright?" she asked anxiously. The girl sat up, her wounds closing up slowly. Kylara watched amazed. "Hey?"

"By all the Ninjetti, by the Owl itself, I am never doing that again," the girl muttered. "Kylara Kalina, Pink Unakan Ranger, Chosen of the Dove Ninjetti. Monolith knows I'm glad I ran into you."

"Who are you?"

"Archist and Lore-Keeper of Phaedos. Fourth member of Erindøril. Pink Owl." Kylara stood, her mouth slowly dropping lower and lower.

"The Ancient Ninjetti of Phaedos?"

"Quite so. I must speak to Articula, your mentor."

"The thing is, you'll need to have your port belt signature programmed in. Or your bio-signature, though Articula prefers port-belt signatures."

"I have neither," the Owl Ninjetti said. "And he cannot keep me out, at any rate." Kylara nodded and with a nod, they teleported.

~*~

"Intruder!" cried E-Berg.

Articula came running in to see the girl and Kylara. "Who are you and what do you want?" he snapped.

"I believe you are well acquainted with the regulations of the Council?" the girl said.

"Yes," answered Articula.

"Then according to the section of regulations dealing with the Ninjetti, any Ninjetti team or lone person may be called upon by the discretion of any Ancient Ninjetti. Phaedos NovaFour Activate!" And in pink light, Edy LaShawn was morphed and ready in Fortress Articia.

~*~

Dani swore softly as she considered her cell. She needed to get out of the cell, and find that damned Black Ranger.

~*~

"What are you here for?" asked Valdi, staring at the lone member of Erindøril.

"The prophecy of the Unakan Dark Light," Edy answered easily. "I have a few things to tie up, concerning that, and so I am here to do just that."

"Do you know what will happen to Dani?" asked Sita.

"No," admitted Edy, sighing. "All I can say on that, are the lines, which should have come with the prophecy, but were deemed irrevelant by all but myself, the Lore-Keeper. The darkness lifted, the One dormant, the powers laid to rest. Purple, Unakan Hover Disc Champion, Green, Unakan Savior. Pink, Archist of Hispania, Blue, Eqyphad's Aid. Silver, Child of the Harvest, White, Mentor of Xathin. Gold, Geologist of Worlds, Black, Scientist of Unaka. Red, President of Unaka, Yellow, Lone Traverser of Roads. Phantom, Geologist of Worlds."

"How bloody helpful," said Sita.

"Ranger Astro Ninjetti Morph!" commanded Edy suddenly, force morphing them all. "Go. Dani will be causing trouble soon!"

~*~

"I have decided, Dani, to give you a chance. You will go down, and you will fight the Rangers," the Nameless One spoke. "Kill them." And to Jolik: "Be ready, in case she does not do as she should."

Dani teleported away, ready to take them all on. Valdi, Isidore, and Sita withdrew their weapons, and began to defend themselves against Dani's onslaught. Tylai were also surrounding the Rangers, so Thala disappeared and began belting them up when one other Ranger was being overwhelmed.

"You will be destroyed, Rangers!" cried Dani as she knocked Valdi down and out for the count.

"I wouldn't be so sure, Mother," spat Sita. "It ends, here."

"So be it."

"Combine the Power! You can combine your Zords, now combine the Power!" commanded Edy.

"Ranger Astro Morph!"

Sita now was involved in deadly one on one with Dani. As she swung her axe above her head, Radha gleamed yellow and demorphed, her power streaming out to meet Sita's axe. Yellow highlights ran over Sita's armor, her axe morphing to a black and yellow whip, cracking down on Dani's left side. Kylara and Charda demorphed simultaneously, their power creating intertwined wings on the back of the armor, and the whip became two lasers. Now Sita was going long range as she went up.

"Careful now!"

Valdi, Isidore and Landre now demorphed, affixing the outside of the armor with more enhanced armor. A megaphone was now at Sita's helmet, blasting Dani with sound waves. Adria, Wildrik and Xelia demorphed, creating tubing throughout the armor, and finally giving Sita a bow. Her armor was still black, with her wings being pink, blue, silver and gold. Her armor was highlighted with yellow, red, white and purple. Her tubing was green.

Dani looked absolutely ragged and terrified now. But Sita was too intent on the battle to be more than dimly aware of the happenings. The Tylai had long since just disappeared and only Thala remained morphed.

"Sita's going to kill her!" screamed Edy, trying to get through to them.

Thala smiled grimly. She demorphed, her powers whirling into a ball held in her left hand. She threw it. Sita fired off an arrow, pulsating with power. Three seconds before the arrow hit Dani, Thala's power hit Dani, sending her into the Phantom mode of Thala's powers.

~*~

Sita powered down into the Black Ranger, nine whirling balls hitting all but Thala, who were immediately remorphed. As Thala spoke the morphing call, her power whirled up from a space on the ground, morphing Thala and revealing Dani, who was completely still.

A pink flash revealed Edy, who knelt by Dani's side. "Danielle!" she said. "Danielle!"

"Did anyone get the registration number of the hover disc that hit me?" asked Danielle, as she sat up wearily. Her eyes focused on Edy. "Where is my baby?" she asked, desperately. Edy smiled gently, and placing her hand against Danielle's forehead, they gleamed pink. Danielle's reaction was expected only by Edy; she rolled over and vomited.

"What you did, you had no control over. Be now at peace, Danielle Alairn."

Sita had demorphed now and had cautiously come over. "M-m-mother?" she said.

"Oh baby," murmered Danielle, hugging Sita close. It was now that Jolik teleported in, as ordered. Edy kicked his butt without moving a muscle, and he retreated. They ported to Fortress Articia, where Articula congratulated them on a job very well done.

"Two things before I leave," Edy said. Waving her hand, Thala was clad in a Ninjetti suit. "You'll need it, Panther." And withdrawing from thin air, she handed a sheaf of papers to Sita. "I believe these are your and your mother's." And in a pink flash, she was gone.

"It was really all Thala's work," Sita said. "She did the right thing at the right time. The powers had overwhelmed me." She flicked through the papers, her eyes widening. "Oh my god, Imladell... We've got Imladell back. My old home property in Tiarea... very big house, with very large grounds. It was the most perfect place to live."

~*~

Within the next day, Sita had moved out of Fortress Articia, and had happily settled in Imladell. The best part, in her opinion, was having a whole floor for scientific purposes, like in the old days. But before she began work, she walked around the entire property, remembering all that she had done as a child. Then she shook her head, and headed home. The past was said and done. The future, no one was certain of. But the present, now that was something good.
