Fate's End

World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighour; it requires only that they live with mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement. ~ Unknown.

"Now you will fall," Black Lance thundered, as he continued to stalk towards the fallen five rangers "Just like your annoying team-mate!"

Pushing himself to his feet Nick glowered angrily at the Terror ahead of him, he had taken Takara away from Abby, and in turn helped Sculpin take his girlfriend "Now you've made me mad," he sneered, stalking forward and morphing through the help of a spell seal as opposed to his morpher, "You're going down!" he growled, removing his magi staff and running full out towards Black Lance.

Throwing out his lance, the Terror stepped back in surprise as Nick just continued forwards as the blasts did nothing to stop him.

Jumping into the air, Nick slashed down with his sword and destroyed the shield which blocked him as if it were nothing.

"My shield!" Black Lance yelled in disbelief

"Fireheart!" Nick called, as he landed back on his feet a few meters in front of Black Lance. The dragon swooped in and knocked Black Lance off balance, before settling down behind Nick.

With a growl, Black Lance got back to his feet "Your dragon will not save you this time!" he sneered, blasting Nick once more with his lance.

Covering Nick with his wings, Fireheart deflected the attack as he glowed a brilliant golden colour. When the light subsided, and the smoke cleared Black Lance and the other rangers were surprised to find Nick still standing there, this time wearing his Red Dragon Fire Ranger armor seeing as he had bonded with Fireheart amidst the explosion.

Once more Black Lance attempted to attack Nick with his lance, and once again Nick run straight through. Reaching the Terror, the red ranger threw him into the air and followed, flipping over and planting a well-aimed kick to the back and sending him crashing back to Earth. The battle continued for a few more moments, before Nick disbanded with Fireheart and returned to his normal ranger form "You guys want in on this?" he asked over his shoulder

"Yeah!" the other four rangers nodded

"Do it for Abby!" Vida grinned, removing her morpher "Ready?"

"Ready!"

"Magical Source! Mystic Force!" the four morphed into the respective colors, and running into battle against the Terror who had struck fear into the hearts of every civilian in Briarwood from the moment he and the rest of his 'team' had arrived. The same Terror which had a hand in destroying Itassis, the same Terror which had -undoubtedly- agreed to the destruction of Matoombo, but he was also the same Terror which had a hand in kidnapping Abby by blasting Takara to god only knew where.

Using their respective magic to knock Black Lance back a few steps, the five rangers re-grouped "Thanks for joining the party" Nick nodded, as they fell into line alongside him.

The others nodded, before the five of them took to the sky "Mystic Spell Seal!" they commanded, attacking Black Lance as one. Once landed, the five turned away from the Terror as he exploded, finally gone.

She could feel the hard grains of sand beneath her cheek as she lay face down on the ground, every inch of her ached, but she did not stir as angry howls echoed all around her. Something had happened in the surface world she was sure of it, why else would Sculpin be so angry? Cracking open her eyes a fraction of an inch, Abby surveyed the room in which she had been discarded, she was back in the pit...the Underworld.

Great Abby thought, freezing as thunderous foot falls approached her today is just not my day!

"I know you are awake!" Sculpin hissed at her "tell me...how is it you annoying Rangers are able to destroy us. We are the Ten Terrors!"

Abby pushed herself shakily to her feet and tilted her head back to look up at Sculpin "Because we fight for all that is good in the world!" she yelled "the Master may have destroyed the Mystic Mother, and he may be able to devour all good magic, but we Rangers fight with our hearts! We fight for things that you Terrors will never be able to understand!" she stated "We each have a reason to fight...there is one power that we have that you don't! One thing that you will never be able to take from us because it is a never ending! People say it comes from the heart," she paused, lowering her gaze and clutching a small pendent which hung around her neck "that it is always with us. It is a power that you cannot see, a power that comes from deep within..."

"What is it?" Sculpin growled impatiently

"Love!" Abby answered simply, turning her gaze back to him "Love for friends. Family. And the citizens of Briarwood are all that we rangers need to keep fighting. You may knock us down, but time and time again we get back to and we continue fighting! That is because each time that we are knocked down it just fuels our determination, our passion, it gives us the courage to continue fighting!" she continued, her voice rising "It is because we have something that is worth fighting for!" she yelled.

At her yell the entire cavern shook as the walls crumbled and debris tumbled down from the high ceiling. The stone in which Sculpin had been using as a two way mirror shook and cracked in two as it fell from its plinth, as Sculpin glowered at Abby as the tremor continued to rock the room.

xXx

Thunder crashed as streaks of red flashed through the sky, turning to the sound of the noise the five rangers took off to investigate "What's that?" Nick asked, as he run ahead of the group

"It's him," Vida answered, reaching her team-leader within seconds as an octopus like creature descended from the sky in front of them "the Master!"

"Where's Daggeron and my father?" Nick yelled

The Master laughed "Right here," he rumbled, throwing out a golden light which transformed into the lifeless body of Daggeron's ancient mystic mode.

"Daggeron!" Maddie cried, running forward and falling to her knees beside her teacher "Daggeron!"

"And Leanbow!" the Master continued, as another golden light transformed into the lifeless body of Leanbow.

"Dad!" Nick yelled, staring at his father as he landed like a rag doll in the debris of the destroyed building "This can't be!" he murmured "all we've done was in vain! All this time! Finding my dad!" he fell to his knees beside his father, as Maddie sobbed into Daggeron's armor, while Vida felt her legs buckle from beneath her and Xander lowered to her to the ground clutching her tightly in his arms. The only one left standing was Chip...and he too did not believe what he was seeing.

"Nothing can stop me from bringing darkness and despair to this world!" the Master rumbled, as he hovered over the rangers

Pushing himself to his feet Xander turned on the Master "What could you possibly gain from destroying our whole world?" he demanded

"Your world is now my world!" the Master hissed, as four red tentacles wrapped themselves around Xander, Vida, Maddie, Chip and Nick and lifted them off the ground "You want to see what my world will look like?"

And he opened his jaws as he sucked in time and space.

xXx

Abby staggered to her feet, and stared wide-eyed around the room.

The entire pit had been destroyed, the stone had been destroyed, the many caverns which had once held Hidiacs were blocked and Sculpin lay buried beneath the rubble - unmoving.

She had done this...this mess, this destruction...she had caused it. Unknowingly she had tapped into her Earth powers and used them to cause unspeakable damage to the Underworld, and in the process she had seemingly struck Sculpin down.

Turning to the sound of footsteps, Abby gave a startled gasp as she ducked behind a near-by stone as Itassis entered the room, her eyes glowing like they normally did. But for some reason she did not look angry at the sight of her decimated home "I know you are here, White Ranger" she called, surveying the room "You do not have to hide. I will not harm you."

"That's what you said last time," Abby answered "you said you only craved knowledge, but you still appeared a few hours ago to destroy us"

"And within that time between then and now," Itassis responded "I have spent in the land of the dead...you were right, Good magic will prevail. You just have to know where to look and when to believe"

A small smile came to Abby's face as she stood from behind the stone in which she had hidden "If you were destroyed," she started "how is it that you are back?"

"With a little help from my friend," Itassis answered "Necrolai" she turned to the bat, who was stood in the opening to another part of the cavern.

"Are you okay?" Necrolai asked as she approached Abby, holding the younger woman in her arms

Abby nodded, her head was spinning and she felt like she was about to throw up. This was too much to take in all at once, she had heard for evil changing teams, but this...this was...she didn't know what this was "But I don't understand..." she murmured

"Itassis was the only who showed me any kindness," Necrolai answered "so I revived her"

"You can bring spirits back from the dead?" Abby asked, her voice barely above a whisper

Necrolai nodded "It is the perks of being the Queen of the undead" she answered "Why, what is it child?" she asked, using her fingers to brush Abby's fringe from her face

Abby hesitated, was it possible that Necrolai would be able to revive her mother? She sighed the dead is best left where it is she thought miserably "Nothing," she answered, shaking her head sadly "I would like to go home now" she added, looking from Necrolai and up at Itassis

"Of course," Itassis nodded "You go. I will join you"

Necrolai nodded, and holding Abby close to her the bat disappeared with the White ranger, while Itassis used her club to destroy the last of her home, and the body of her now dead enemy.

xXx

"We're back!" Chip exclaimed, as he hit the ground beside Maddie as they returned from the 'future'.

A future which was run by the forces of darkness, a future that the Master would create if he was able to destroy them.

Around him all his friends lay panting as if they had just run a marathon, when in fact they had merely been drained of their magic.

"Yeah," Nick nodded "now our magic is gone for good!" he said, pushing himself to his feet and turning to face the Master as he approached them menacingly.

"Look what you have done to me!" the Master rumbled darkly "You will pay for this!" and he threw out several tentacles at the rangers, all of which froze instantly and crumbled away into dust as an ice blue spell seal appeared, as Claire, Udonna and the Snow Prince appeared between the rangers and the Master "What?"

Vida gasped "Snow Prince?" she called

Nick sighed in relief as he reached his mother's side "Mom!"

"Claire!" Xander called to the apprentice, as he reached her "You have powers!"

Claire beamed "Yes! Mystic Mother made me a full sorceress!"

"Liar!" the Master growled "I destroyed the Mystic Mother!"

"No, just before you attacked Mystic Mother," the Snow Prince answered "she cast a spell and turned herself into energy"

"A few magic tricks will not stop me!" the Master hissed "I will return to the depths, and gather my strengths!"

There was another blast of cold air, and a familiar voice caused the rangers to turn in surprise "I'm afraid that won't be possible..."

The Master growled as he turned to face the source of the voice, and a gasp rippled throughout the rangers as Abby stopped a few feet away from them.

"Abby..." Chip grinned

"...I hate to be the bearer of bad news," Abby continued "but your pit no longer exists"

"No longer exist?" the Master repeated angrily

Itassis and Necrolai joined Abby, as she faced the Master "What she means is you no longer have a place to dwell in your darkness!"

"Itassis!" the Master exclaimed "You're alive? Where is Sculpin?"

Itassis touched Abby's shoulder "He is no more!" she answered "It would seem we underestimated the power of the Chosen One. Her control over Earth is stronger than anything we could ever imagine. It was with her determination and passion to protect the people of this world that she found the power to not stop Sculpin, but to destroy him!"

The younger Mystics listened with keen interest, as they learned that Abby -their hyperactive little Abby- had taken on a Terror all by herself, and walked away unarmed.

"But I am your Master!" the Master growled

"Well this puppet has cut the strings!" Itassis responded, leveling the Master with her club-like weapon and firing an energy blast which collided with the master.

As the ground around the master exploded and he was engulfed by thick black smoke, the rangers cheered and hugged one another.

Catching Nick's gaze, Abby smiled as she pulled away from Necrolai and run straight into his arms burying her face into his shoulder. Nick caught her wrapping his arms around her shoulders and holding her close, seemingly afraid that if he let her go, she would disappear again.

"The Master has gone for now," Itassis spoke, interrupting the celebration and reunions "but he will be back," she turned and surveyed the White and Red rangers, as tears glistened on Abby's cheeks "tell me White Ranger, why do you shed tears?" she asked, catching a single tear as it rolled down off of Abby's face.

Abby wiped her own tears and turned to the Terror "We lost family today" she answered "Daggeron, Leanbow..." she listed "and my mom. Losing was never an option, But..." she paused

"But?" Itassis pressed

"Losing them was never an option either," Abby answered

Itassis turned away from the Snow Ninja "That is not something I can help you with," she said sadly

"My mom can!" LeeLee announced as she arrived on scene

Necrolai gasped and turned to her daughter "LeeLee!"

"You can do anything you want, Mom!" the blonde encouraged "You always could! Do it mom! I believe in you"

"All right," Necrolai nodded, turning to the lifeless bodies of Leanbow and Daggeron "I will try to revive them!" she approached the rangers, shared a long look with Abby before opening her arms wide and blasting both Leanbow and Daggeron with purple energy. There was backlash of power, and Necrolai hit the ground on her stomach as she sparked dangerously.

As LeeLee attended to her mother, the rangers and Udonna gasped as Leanbow and Daggeron staggered to their feet.

"Look!" Maddie breathed, as the smoke cleared and the two men ventured forward. She smiled as Daggeron enveloped her in a hug, and Leanbow was met by his family.

"Hey! Don't forget about me!" Jenji cried, as he bounced into view

Abby smiled as she watched the interaction between Nick and his parents, but couldn't help the stabbing pain in her chest as she thought of her mother, would she ever see her again?

"Mom?" LeeLee's terrified voice caught the rangers' attention, as each of them turned in her direction; her mother lay on the ground sparking dangerously. Reaching out to touch her mother, LeeLee drew back as she emitted a golden glow before transforming into a slim, brown-haired woman; making it back to her feet Necrolai turned to her daughter and embraced her.

Xander grinned "LeeLee's mom is hot!" he nodded

However, the reunion was cut short as the ground shook violently and the Master returned, bigger than ever and ready for more. "Quite the reunion," he rumbled, as he bore down upon them "sorry I have to destroy it!"

"Rangers," Udonna turned to her team "our magic is gone"

"I got an idea," Jenji butted in "Let's all run!"

Abby rolled her eyes "You know? He takes the phrase 'Scaredy Cat' to a whole new level" she commented

"I'm through running," Nick spoke "I've found my real family..." he turned to his parents, before turning to Abby and his friends "I found my home. No more running" he walked forward "Stay and fight!" he yelled

With a simple nod Abby followed him forward, and linked her fingers through his as she looked up at him "Stay and fight!" she repeated

"Yeah!" Vida agreed "We fight!" and she led the rest of the team forward

The Master laughed "So be it!" he nodded "You are powerless now, victory is already in hand!"

"Let's show the Master what real courage is!" Nick stated "Even without magic!"

The others nodded

"Without Magic, Mystic ones?" asked a voice, and the Mystic mother loomed into view "You are never without Magic, you just have to know where to find it"

Maddie frowned "Never without magic? What does she mean by that?"

But the others were just as confused as she was...

...that was until a familiar voice shouted out to them "Maybe she meant us!" and there walking towards them from the city of Briarwood was Toby, Kelly and a few other citizens.

"Or maybe she meant us!" Phineas' voice joined in as he stood on the edge of the forest surrounded by a few other Magical creatures

The rangers stood dumbfounded at what was happening around them

"I talked to some people from the city," Toby went onto explain "and I told them that the forest and the ones that live there, are not the ones we need to fear!"

Phineas nodded "I spoke the same truth to the ones in the forest," he explained "either we stay the way we were and perish, or we stand together and fight the real evil!" he pointed towards the master

"Power Rangers," Toby spoke once more "You have fought all year for us, your magic is used up..." he smiled "Now let us give you some of our magic"

The rangers smiled as both the human realm and the magical realm came together as one; joining hands over them and fuelling them with the magic they needed to defeat the darkness.

Kelly nudged her sister, as she appeared beside her "I love you, kiddo" she murmured

"I love you too," Abby responded, she may have lost Takara to the Master but she still had Kelly, and by damned was the Master going to take that way.

"Together!" the citizens of Briarwood and the dwellers of the Magical community said, as a golden glow surrounded those within the middle of the crowd "We believe in Magic!" still chanting the word 'magic' each of them pulled back to reveal the newly morphed Mystic Force.

Kelly grinned as she drew back along with Udonna and Claire and witnessed the Master's final moments against the Power Rangers. She had heard many times of Abby's final battles, but this was the first that she had witnessed firsthand.

"Wolf Warrior!" Leanbow stated

"Solaris Knight!"

"White Mystic Ranger!"

"Green Mystic Ranger!"

"Pink Mystic Ranger!"

"Blue Mystic Ranger!"

"Yellow Mystic Ranger!"

"Red Mystic Ranger!"

"We call forth the Magic together as one!" the rangers continued simultaneously "United for all time! Power Rangers Mystic Force!"

The Master glowered at them from the skies "Give me that Magic!" he demanded

"You got it!" the Rangers obeyed, summoning their magic and blasting it through the air towards the Master.

"I devour it! But still it comes!" the Master complained, as he continued to eat away at the magic the rangers were supplying "It's too much!" he yelled, as his entire body expanded with the amount of good magic inside him.

"It's working!" Nick pointed out "Keep going! There is no end to our magic!"

Kicking off from the ground, the rangers took to the air and became level with the Master "Full power!" they each commanded, pooling all of their magic to their core and force feeding it to the Mutant freak in front of them.

"I cannot take anymore! I have devoured all I can!" the Master roared, before a bright golden light consumed him and he exploded.

"Mystic Force!" the rangers yelled, as they returned to the ground as the Master exploded into millions of magical sparkles. As the citizens of Briarwood -both human and magical- cheered at the destruction from the ground. Claire hugged LeeLee. Kelly hugged Udonna. Their friends...no, no...Their Family had done it, against all odds they had banded together and brought peace back to the Human realm. They had done the impossible by combining the magical realm and the human realm together and in turn learned the true meaning of working together.

Once back on the ground the rangers demorphed and walked through the crowd of cheering citizens, reaching the end of the crowd, the rangers enveloped one another in hugs at their success, as Nick and Abby found one another again amongst the others; they stared at one another for a long moment, neither believing that it was over, before Nick pulled her close, his lips crashing onto hers.

xXx

It was over.

Another year had gone. The battle had been won, and now the rangers were finally able to move on from the crime fighting and start new.

Nick and his parents were leaving Briarwood. They were going to visit Nick's adoptive parents and fill them in on everything that had happened in the past year.

Xander, Vida, Madison and Chip were staying in Briarwood. They still had family here, jobs at the Rock Porium, and they were in no hurry to leave all that behind.

As for Abby? She had just signed a 6 week contract deal to ride for Factory Blue.

"I can't believe it!" the hyperactive Snow Ninja squealed as she jumped up and down clapping her hands, while Blake and Kelly laughed at her eagerness "6 weeks with Factory Blue!"

Kelly smiled shaking her head, as she handed the confirmation letter to Blake and turned back to her sister "I guess we better go prep your bike then, huh?" she suggested

Abby nodded, before halting in her jumping "Wait! Where's Nick?" she asked

"Uh, last time I saw him he was outside," Kelly answered, pointing over her shoulder "Hey! Where you going?"

"Be right back!" Abby responded, disappearing outside. She took the stairs two at a time and hurried across the road "Hey, guess what? Guess what?"

Nick chuckled as he rounded his bike and caught his bouncing girlfriend around the waist "What?" he asked

"I just signed a 6 week contract to ride for Factory Blue," Abby answered

Nick grinned knowing full well how much Abby had wanted to ride for Factory Blue four years ago, but had to decline the position because of her commitment to her Ranger duties in Blue Bay. He also knew that she had watched one of her friends take the position at the end of Ninja Storm, while she had gone on to teach at the Snow Ninja Academy "I'm really happy for you!" he told her, kissing her forehead

"So..." Abby trailed "what now?" she asked

"What do you mean?" Nick questioned, confusion setting in

Abby shrugged "You know? Us? What about us?" she asked, the one thing she had been dreading about the end of her Mystic Force adventure was what she had Nick were going to do. They had only been together a few months, but she didn't want to let him go. She loved him...although she hadn't told him yet.

"Well, I'm willing to make it work" Nick responded "If you are"

"Does that mean you'll come back?" Abby asked

Nick stared at her for a moment "Do you want me to come back?"

Curling her hand behind his neck, Abby pulled him in and kissed him "Come back for me!" she told him, their lips millimeters apart.

Nick smiled as he kissed her again "Always!" he responded, before pulling away. He removed his baby blanket from the pouch behind his seat and handed it over "Will you hold onto this?" he asked

"Sure," Abby nodded, taking the red blanket and clutching it close

Nick nodded kissed her once more, before leaving on his bike.

Abby smirked as she watched him leave, before looking down at the blanket in her arms. Yep, there was definitely something about that guy that she couldn't ignore.

Appearing behind her sister, Kelly wrapped her arms around her shoulders "Aww," she cooed, having witnessed the goodbye "that was so cute!" she teased

"Shut up!" Abby grumbled, shoving her sister back

Kelly laughed "So, is he coming back?" she asked

Abby smiled as she held up the blanket, and nodded. "But in the meantime?" she spoke, snagging the car keys from her sisters pocket "I'm driving!" and she bolted across the road towards the car.

Kelly following close behind.

A/N: See there was a reason for Blake's appearance.

Unfortunately this is the end of Mystic Force. I wish I could continue but sadly there is no more series. But good news: Abby will be returning in Operation Overdrive. I hope you check it out, and continue to support Abby through that as you have Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder and Mystic Force.
