A/N: Hello, everyone, I'm back :D! And I'm here to start a new story on this section. I know that some of you are probably disappointed that I didn't continue "A True Love," but I just didn't like the idea of it anymore, so I stopped continuing it and just deleted it. Eventually, I lost interest in Power Rangers and got more into other things, but I kinda sorta got back into it when I was watching Mystic Force on Netflix. I will always love Madison Rocca (GO BLUE RANGER!), but I was very disappointed in the show a little bit. Compared to Magiranger and the Mystic Force, Mystic Force spent so much time paying attention to Nick's past and his destiny that there was less focus on the others, especially to Maddie, while in Magiranger, there was not so much of a great deal of attention on him. They made it seem like Maddie was not important and that she was not a very strong person while her sister, on the other hand, was. It kinda bothered me that they perceived her as not so tough when I think deep down she can be, she just hasn't shown it yet.

So, before you ask, yes, Madison will be a little OOCish, and this will be a crossover between The Mummy and Power Rangers. I want to try some creatures that are realistic and do not look so fake :P. Oh, and Madison's past life's name is Meskhenet, which I believe means "destiny."

Summary: Madison Rocca has always been considered the sensible one, the reasonable one who always follows her sister and whatever her teammates do, but when Madison starts having these weird dreams of seeing herself as an Egyptian warrioress in a past life, she begins to learn of a legend that will either bring good or evil to the whole world, and she realizes she has to follow her destiny to become the warrior of Horus. But with Imperious getting help from an old Medjai enemy, will Madison be able to stop their evil plan from ruling over humanity? Then again, the real enemy may be far greater than the priest of Osiris.

Rated: T for violence, language, and sexual references (rating may go up due to either gore or non-consent sex).

Timeline: Between "Dark Wish" and "Koragg's Trail." (I've changed the age to all the rangers, except for Daggeron)

I do not own Power Rangers Mystic Force and The Mummy or their characters. They all belong to Rangers Productions and Universal Pictures. If I did own either one of them, Mystic Force wouldn't focus so much on Nick. Anyway, enjoy! :)

Chapter One: Following Your Dreams

Meskhenet traveled through the hallways of the royal palace, her destination towards the princess' chambers to check on the princess and see if she was okay since it was her job and appointed duty to look after her as her bodyguard, but also as her friend as well.

It was only a month ago that Meskhenet was assigned by Pharaoh Seti himself to protect his favorite eldest daughter, Princess Nefertiri. Meskhenet was not entirely sure at first of how she was going to look after the princess and the scimitar of Horus at the same time, but she somehow managed it. Her skills in combat were proven worthy enough for those two duties when a guard at the scimitar of Horus' chamber mentioned them to the Pharaoh when someone tried to steal the blade. The bandit was about to get away when Meskhenet took out her blade and flew it across the hall, striking him in the back and immediately killing him.

The bodyguard mentiong Meskhenet's skills to the Pharaoh was how she became a bodyguard to both the blade and Princess Nefertiri.

Meskhenet expected the princess to be a spoiled little brat, but Nefertiri turned out to be quite the opposite, and they have been close friends ever since she was appointed to being her bodyguard. Nefertiri had a beauty to her that no other Egyptian woman had, and her personality went with it, too. She was kind and caring to her friends and family, especially to her father, intelligent, and very fierce in protecting the people she cared about. She was quite the warrioress too as her skills in the art of combat was proven today against Anck-su-namun.

Anck-su-namun, the consort of the Pharaoh and soon-to-be stepmother of Princess Nefertiri, was a woman that made Meskhenet's skin crawl. She did not trust her. There was something about Anck-su-namun's demeanor that made it seem like she was a ruthless and dangerous woman, and it made Meskhenet wary of her and for the Pharaoh's safety.

There were rumors circulating around the Pharoah's consort about her having another lover and wanting to run away with him, but Meskhenet feared for something far worse than that. She feared that Anck-su-namun and her lover were plotting to kill the Pharaoh, and her suspicions only became clearer when she saw the consort with herbs in her hands earlier today that the warrioress has known to be poisonous. Fearing for the Pharaoh's life, Meskhenet sent a message to her tribal chief leader, hoping that he would get it in time to warn the Pharaoh who was out on a campaign now. If anything, Meskhenet would have warned the Pharaoh herself, but she wasn't too sure it was her place to tell. The last time someone had told the Pharaoh about their suspicions towards his mistress, he got upset with the accuser and had him flogged, and being worried she would meet the same fate, she had left it to someone much wiser than her.

Meskhenet arrived at the princess' bedchamber and, without even knocking, opened the door and stepped inside. She became worried, though, when she noticed that Nefertiri was not in her room.

"Nefertiri, where are you?"

"Out here," came a voice from the balcony.

Meskhenet went out to the balcony where the princess was, standing a little too close to the edge for Meskhenet's comfort. "Nefertiri, you should not stand so close to the edge, you could fall," she said.

Nefertiri turned to her friend and bodyguard and gave her a soft smile. "You worry too much, Meskhenet, you need to learn to relax once in a while," she said. "I am only just looking…" She then looked back out into the courtyard.

"Nut (1) certainly seems to be shining brightly tonight…"

"Yes, she is, but the soldiers are more interesting, are they not?" Meskhenet said, noticing Nefertiri looking at the soldiers in the courtyard doing drills with a wistful look instead of the sky. She knew what was going through the princess' mind and felt sympathy for her.

"I wish I could be more than just a princess, Meskhenet," Nefertiri said.

"You are more than just a princess, Nefertiri," Meskhenet said. "You are a warrior and a protector for the Bracelet of Anubis. Your combat skills have shown that earlier today, and your father would not have entrusted you to it if he did not think you were worthy enough."

At that saying, Nefertiri scoffed. "You saw what happened earlier today, I lost that fight to that—that whore!" she spat out. "I am not worthy enough to protect the bracelet."

"One lost battle does not define a person's worth."

Nefertiri looked to her friend, giving her a smile. "Did your father tell you that?"

"Yes," Meskhenet responded with a sad smile as she thought back to her father, wishing she could see his face again. How she missed him so!

Nefertiri saw her friend's sad look and felt sympathy for her, knowing how it felt to lose someone you love. She knew this through her mother who died when she was young. She put a comforting hand over Meskhenet's. Both women looked at each other in the eye, and a look of understanding passed between them, and they smiled.

It was then that both women happened to look in the same direction.

Across the courtyard, from Nefertiri's bedchamber, was Anck-su-namun's residencial palace, and it was no surprise that the latter was in there, but what did surprise them was that Imhotep, the priest of Osiris and keeper of the dead, was there as well.

"What is the priest of Osiris doing in Anck-su-namun's palace?" Meskhenet asked Nefertiri. Nefertiri did not answer that question, she was too busy glaring daggers at the woman across from her.

It was known to Meskhenet that Nefertiri despised Anck-su-namun with every fiber of her being, and the latter the same. While Nefertiri hated Anck-su-namun because she felt as if her mother was being replaced, Anck-su-namun hated the princess out of envy. Even though Meskhenet was still wary of being around the woman, she still felt pity for the consort since she was being forced to marry a man she did not love.

It was then that the priest and the consort leaned in and shared a passionate kiss, taking both Nefertiri and Meskhenet by surprise. The princess drew back, looking away from the scene while the warrioress continued to look on with such shock and admiration. The rumors of Anck-su-namun having another lover were confirmed true, but it shocked Meskhenet that it was Imhotep who was Anck-su-namun's secret lover. Imhotep was a priest, but also a friend to the Pharaoh, and he was betraying his friend by kissing his mistress. Being the Pharaoh's mistress, Anck-su-namun was forbidden to be touched by any other man, but Imhotep was also a priest and, therefore, forbidden to touch any women. The love between them was forbidden. Both of them were committing blasphemy by just touching each other, such an act would anger the Pharaoh, a living god (2). Meskhenet had to really admire the lovers, though, because she has never seen such passion in the way Imhotep and Anck-su-namun were kissing each other.

'They must really love each other enough to anger a living god,' she thought.

It was then that Pharaoh Seti himself arrived. Imhotep was nowhere to be found, so Meskhenet figured he was hiding. From across, she could see the Pharaoh's expression contorted with fury and pointing at Anck-su-namun's upper left arm that was now smudged by Imhotep's hand, demanding her to tell him what man has touched her. Meskhenet figured that her leader got the message about Anck-su-namun and warned the Pharaoh about her; otherwise, the latter would not be there right now in such a rage of fury, demanding to know who her lover was. But why was Meskhenet getting this bad feeling in her stomach that something horrible was about to happen? That question was answered when Imhotep reappeared with a knife blade in his hand. Both Meskhenet and Nefertiri realized what was about to happen, and Meskhenet was about to shout an order to her men when Nefertiri beat her to it.

"Medjai, my father needs you!" she cried, pointing to Anck-su-namun's palace.

The Medjai had started running towards the palace as fast they could to go and protect their king, and Meskhenet decided to join them. "Stay here, Nefertiri, I will be right back," she said, turning to follow her men to the Pharaoh, hoping they will not be too late. Just before she could even leave the balcony, she heard a wail of despair from behind her.

"NIIIIIYYYYY!"

Stopping in her tracks, Meskhenet turned back around to the princess, and, to her horror, saw her falling off the edge.

"Nefertiri!"

Gasping, eighteen year old Madison Rocca woke up with a start, her mind on the Egyptian princess called Nefertiri, but once she looked around her surroundings and realized she was in her bedroom, she began to realize it was just a dream and sighed with relief. 'Thank goodness it was only a dream,' she thought as she laid back down on her bed. Her heart pounded rapidly against her chest and after taking a few deep breaths, her heart beat began to lessen and she began to relax. She was beginning to get worried, though, it had been two weeks since she started having these dreams of seeing herself as a warrior from Egypt in the past where she was a protector for the princess and the sword, and she was wondering if these dreams were trying to tell her something.

In her dreams, she is seen as a very fierce warrior, which confused her because, normally, it was Nick Russell who had the fierce character when it came down to battling against the evil monsters terrorizing the city. Madison never even considered herself to be fierce. With these dreams going on for two weeks, she was beginning to think that maybe she should talk to Udonna about them. For her to keep dreaming about these dreams, they had to mean something.

Just then, the door to her bedroom began to bang loudly, and Vida's voice could be heard on the other side of the door a minute later. "Hey, Maddie, time to get up! We got magic practice to get to!" she yelled.

"I'll be there in a minute," Madison yelled back before sighing. She really did not want to go to training today, but she went and got up anyway, knowing it was crucial for her to train so she could prepare herself for the big battle against the Master.

She took her time getting ready, her mind on other things besides Imperious and his other minions. For some reason, her dreams seemed to be more important than trying to keep the Master from rising or defeating Necrolai and all those other dark wizards and witches, like there was something more important than evil witches and wizards trying to take over the world and bring darkness to it. She couldn't figure out what it was.

Her dreams felt so familiar as well. Not in a way where she's seen the dreams a million times, but more like where she's been through it before. How can that be if Ancient Egypt was thousands of years ago?

As she was about to put on a blue sweater, her eyes then drifted to her left shoulder where she noticed her tattoo (3). Now, Madison wasn't the type of person to go and get a tattoo because it wasn't in her nature, but how it came to be on her body was still a mystery to her today. When she was a little girl, the tattoo appeared on her left shoulder one day, not really sure how she got it there or where it came from. All she knew at that time was that having the tattoo was bad, and she tried to hide it from the eyes of her parents through long sleeved-shirts or cover-ups. Surprisingly, her parents never found out about it, and the only person who knew about the tattoo was her sister Vida, and she liked to keep it that way.

The tattoo had a pyramid with an eye on it and the sun at the top and falcons on either side of the pyramid, facing it. Madison didn't know what the tattoo meant, but the pyramid with the eye gave it away that it was part of the Egyptian culture since she's seen so many pictures of symbols like her tattoo, though she never knew what they meant. However, these dreams she been having were making her curious to see what the culture was about.

Madison was finally ready and made her way downstairs where her sister was waiting impatiently for her. "Finally! I thought you would never leave and I would have to drag you out of this house myself," Vida said. "We are late for training."

"Sorry, sis, I just have a lot on my mind, I didn't realize I lost track of the time."

Vida then looked worried. "What's the matter? Was it those dreams you've been having again?" she asked.

"Yeah, but don't worry about it, V, I'll be fine," Madison said, trying to shrug the topic off. Vida would not let it go, though.

"You know, you've been having these dreams for two weeks now, Maddie, you should talk to Udonna about them," she said. "Maybe she'll know what they are about."

"Yeah, maybe, I'll talk to her after training today."

"Alright, come on, we're already late as it is," Vida said, dragging her sister out the door. "Besides, you have your knight in shining armor waiting to sweep you off your feet." She gave her sister a wink, which Madison responded by blushing.

It was no secret to Vida that Madison had a little crush on Daggeron, though the youngest of the Rocca sisters would never admit to that. Madison could not really help it, Daggeron was handsome and charming and her knight in shining armor, as proven when he saved her from Jester, but he was her teacher and she was his student. She wasn't sure if the others, especially Udonna would approve the relationship—that is if there ever was a relationship between the two of them. Madison wasn't sure if Daggeron felt the same way for her, though it was obvious that he had a certain fondness for her, but whether it was a fatherly fondness or an intimate fondness, Madison couldn't tell.

Vida and Madison finally arrived in front of Rootcore where all the others teammates, Chip, Xander, and Nick, and Daggeron were already there. "There you are, finally!" Chip exclaimed.

"Ladies, I expect you to be more punctual the next time you are called for training," Daggeron said in a disapproving tone, making Madison feel ashamed. She hated to be put to shame in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Daggeron, it was my fault we were late, I got carried away with the time and so we were late," she said. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

Daggeron gave her a look that made Madison nervous before he smiled fondly at her and said, "Very well, I will let it go this one time, but don't expect me to not give you extra work the next time you are tardy, okay, Maddie?"

Madison nodded, feeling a smile come onto her lips at his charming smile, before she and her sister stepped in line with the others.

"So, Daggeron, what are we going to be learning today?" Chip asked.

"Today, I am going to teach you how to spare."

"Spare? Do you mean hand-to-hand combat?" Nick asked. "'Cause we already know that."

"No, I mean spare as in swords," Daggeron said as he brought out a wooden sword from behind his back before doing neat tricks with it, amazing his students.

"Nice!"

"Oh, wow, so cool!"

"Yes! I finally get to learn how to use a sword!"

"Now, Nick, I know that you already excel with the use of the sword, but you still need to practice," Daggeron said. "As for the others, I think this will be of use to you, especially in battle. You will have the advantage of defeating your enemies with the skills of many weapons, and possibly gain new weapons through a new spell code, but always remember that it's this that always helps us win the battle." He pointed at his heart.

"That's great! Can I go first, Daggeron?" Chip pleaded.

"You will get your turn, Chip, have patience, it is one of the many traits of a knight," Daggeron said, smiling at the yellow ranger. Chip was always the eager one to do things, no matter how hard it may seem.

"Vida, you are up first."

"Yes!"

Thus, their training began. Madison watched as the others sparred against Daggeron, one by one all of them going down quickly, except for Nick who took longer than the others. It was not until Nick was finally down that it was finally Madison's turn.

"Maddie, you're up," Daggeron said breathlessly, out of breath from his last spare with Nick. Madison got up from her spot and went up to Daggeron, feeling a little nervous of sparring against him, but she got up, taking the wooden sword from Nick.

"Good luck."

Madison only gave him a nervous smile before facing Daggeron.

"Ready?"

"Ready as I will ever be."

She took a fighting a stance with Daggeron doing the same, both staring each other down, one with confidence, the other with nervousness. It was then that Madison started to get this strange feeling and began to feel a little dizzy. She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them, she found herself in a royal palace chamber, but none like she's ever seen or heard of in fairy tale books.

There were pillars around that supported the ceiling with hieroglyphics that she surprisingly could understand and statue-like men wearing gold-like clothes and their upper black bodies bare. There were many people who were present in the chamber, but there were four people who stood out in the room: a man who was sitting on a throne, embedded in gold with a golden crown, that Madison realized he was the Pharaoh from her dreams. The princess, Nefertiri, was present as well along with a head-shaven, copper-skinned handsome man that was known as Imhotep.

He was even more handsome up close, Madison thought, but that was not where Madison's focus was. Her focus was on her opponent: a woman she recognized as Anck-su-namun. Anck-su-namun was beautiful in every aspect with her black hair and curvy body, but she had a cunning and evil look in her eyes that it made Madison wary of her, but she did not back down from the woman's gaze.

There was the sound of a clap, and the battle commenced. The sounds of blades could be heard clashing against one another with the occasional grunt or cry of pain as flesh hit flesh, both women fighting against each other. Madison jumped in the air when her opponent tried to swipe her from below and managed to kick the woman in the face, making her nose bleed. She felt a satisfying smile form on her face as she saw Anck-su-namun bleeding. She never liked the woman, anyway, and she the same.

"You bitch…"

"Strong words coming from a whore," Madison heard herself saying.

She would normally be in shock to hear herself saying such things, but she found herself not in shock of it, for some strange reason. It was almost as if it was natural to her.

Anck-su-namun glared at Madison before flipping up on her feet and lunged forward, but Madison moved out of the way in time, flipping over the woman's head so that she was behind her instead. Anck-su-namun was a smart woman and, therefore, wasn't fooled. She turned around in time just to block Madison's blow and kicked her in the stomach and then in the face, knocking her to the ground, feeling much satisfaction of avenging the blow from her before. She raised her sword high in the air and brought it down, but Madison brought her sword up, blocking the attack. Swinging her leg around, she kicked Anck-su-namun's hand out of the way, nearly knocking the woman off balance and giving herself enough time to get back up again.

Blades continued to be heard clashing against each other again before Anck-su-namun got the upper hand, twisting the sword out of Madison's hand. Smiling, thinking that she already won, Anck-su-namun spun her sword around just for show, seeming to forget that Madison was also skilled in hand-to-hand combat. Grabbing a hold of the wrist Anck-su-namun's hand where it held the sword, Madison pulled it to the side before spinning around into the woman, elbowing her in the stomach and grabbing her fallen sword. Madison then did a spin turn with her leg, knocking Anck-su-namun off her feet and onto her back on the floor before she straddled her, the sword pointed at the consort's throat.

Both women were breathing heavily, feeling the workout they had gotten from the competition, hearing the people cheering in the background, but the women paid no heed to them. They only stared at each other with a thick amount of animosity that you could cut it with a butter knife.

"You will pay for this, Medjai," Anck-su-namun spat out.

Madison did not say anything, she just glared at the woman below her, wishing she could just drive the sword point down the woman's throat, but knowing how upset the Pharaoh would be with her, she held the desire back. She then got the strange feeling again, and she closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again only to find herself not in a royal Egyptian chamber, but in the Briarwood Forest with not the woman called Anck-su-namun below her, but a shocked looking Daggeron instead. Madison realized that she was straddling him and found herself blushing at the provocative position they were in, knowing what Vida was probably thinking. She wondered, though, how was it that she managed to even land in such a position with him when she doesn't even remember laying a finger on him. All she could remember was the vision.

Daggeron, meanwhile, was in shock as he found himself down on the ground with his student straddling him and the pointed end of the wooden sword pointed at his throat. He knew that Madison did not excel with the sword, but when they were sparring against each other, it was like she knew it her whole life. It was almost as if she was a completely different woman.

Before they were about to fight, Madison looked nervous at the thought of having to fight against him, so Daggeron decided to go slow on her since he knew she probably would be beaten down in a second, but she suddenly came at him with such confidence that it felt like she was a completely different person, and in the end it was he that got beaten down within two minutes. Madison's hits were strong and her moves were graceful, but her fighting technique was nothing like Daggeron ever seen her use before, nothing like the technique he and Udonna taught the rangers.

When he was flipped onto his back by the blue ranger and felt the weight of her on him, he felt himself become hot all of a sudden, but her eyes held such hatred in them that it made Daggeron worry and wonder if this really was the same Madison he knew. Then, Madison's eyes softened and seemed to just realize what happened and a tinge of red appeared on her cheeks and the grip on the sword loosened, making Daggeron curious, wondering if there was something going on with Madison. He had noticed that she had been acting strange as of late. He then realized that Madison was still straddling him.

"Uhh, Maddie?"

"Yes?"

"You can get up now."

"Oh, right."

Madison laughed nervously before getting up. She helped Daggeron get up and stepped away from him as soon as he got up, feeling her face turn beet red. She could not believe she had just straddled him! The thought itself was embarrassing, especially with all the teasing Madison would receive from her sister. It was then that all the other rangers approached her, surrounding her and giving her praises on her one-on-one with Daggeron.

"Wow, Maddie, that was so awesome!" Chip exclaimed. "First, you looked so nervous and then, BAM, WHAP!" He tried to imitate the moves Madison did against Daggeron. "You beat him within a minute."

"It was actually two minutes, Chip," Xander said.

"Whatever," Chip said, shrugging it off, "it was still cool. When you were fighting, it was like you were a completely different person."

"Thanks…I guess."

"I've never seen you fight with such ferocity, sis," Vida said with admiration in her tone. "Normally, I am the one that usually fights with ferocity."

Madison began to get uncomfortable with all the praises. She couldn't even remember lifting a finger against Daggeron. The only thing she could remember was that strange vision; plus, Vida's praise made her feel a little upset. It was almost as if she was saying she was not a strong person when it came to battling and that had upset her.

"How did you do that, Maddie?" Nick suddenly asked her. "It took me forever before Daggeron finally beat me, and it only took you two minutes to beat him down."

Madison suddenly got nervous, wondering how she was going to explain to the others that she does not even remember touching Daggeron, so she decided to lie. "Um, instinct?" she said.

"Well, it was a pretty good instinct. Good job, Maddie," Nick said, patting her on the back.

"Thanks."

Daggeron saw that Madison was getting uncomfortable with the praises her teammates were giving her and decided to intervene. "Alright, rangers, that's enough, you need to go in and study," he said, making most of his students groan, except for Madison.

"Oh, come on, Daggeron, just one more shot, please?" Vida begged. 'Please say no, I've had enough of these strange visions for one day,' Madison thought, looking hopefully at Daggeron, which did not go unnoticed by him. She inwardly breathed a sigh of relief when he did say no.

"No, I've had enough of the five of you beating me up for one day. You need to start training on your magic now."

This made all the others groan again. If there was one thing that the power rangers loved the most about their training, it was the physical training because it was more fun than reading books on spells and what not. Madison enjoyed them too, but right now she just preferred to be inside, studying, so she could get her mind off a few things, like that vision, for instance. She was following the others back to Rootcore when Daggeron stopped her.

"Madison, wait, can I talk to you in private for a minute?"

"Sure," Madison agreed, moving to the side with Daggeron. She had a feeling of what he wanted to talk about because she saw the worried look in his eyes, but she decided to feign ignorance. "What is it?"

"I noticed for the past two weeks that you have been acting very strange. You look like you haven't been sleeping in days and have been losing your focus. And the fighting you displayed today in training, it was very strange," Daggeron began.

"How so?"

"For one thing, the fighting technique you displayed today was not the technique Udonna and I taught you," Daggeron said. "It was an Egyptian style fighting technique. Your skills with the sword took me by surprise because I know you do not have enough skills with the sword, but you acted as if you knew the way of the sword your whole life. I also noticed that you seemed a bit…off while you were in training."

"Off? I am not sure what you mean by that…" Madison said, dreading at where this was going.

"Like when you and I were sparring against each other, you almost seemed out of it, like you were not part of this world or yourself. Is there something going on?"

Madison sighed. As much as she would like to tell Daggeron about what was going on, she much preferred to tell Udonna about her dreams. She felt like she could trust Daggeron and tell him everything, but it just felt as if he would tell her that her dreams were not important and that fighting against the Darkness was, as he always told her and the others. She much preferred to tell Udonna about her dreams. She felt as if she would be more understanding and knew what to do rather than Daggeron. Somehow, her dreams felt too important to push them aside. It felt as if to do that would be a grave mistake. But if she was going to tell Udonna, she might as well tell Daggeron.

"I've just been having these strange dreams, that's all," she said.

"What kind of dreams?"

"Dreams where I see myself as a warrior from Ancient Egypt, but don't worry about, it's probably not a big deal," Madison said, trying to get Daggeron to forget about it. "They are just dreams." She wasn't sure if she was trying to convince herself or Daggeron, but it seemed as if neither of them were being convinced.

"It is a big deal if you keep on having these dreams, Maddie," Daggeron said sternly. "I want you to talk to Udonna about this, perhaps she'll know what to do. And, Maddie, I want you to stick with the fighting technique that Udonna and I taught you, understood?"

"Understood."

However, Madison could feel herself getting a little ticked off at the demand. She has always obeyed what everyone told her to do, especially for people she respected like Daggeron, but she couldn't help feel a little mad. Daggeron was her teacher, though, and, therefore, had to be obeyed.

If there was one thing that Madison did not like, it would have to be this: having to drink a potion to prevent her from having her dreams; in other words, she hated being deprived from knowledge.

When Daggeron noticed that Madison was falling asleep during her studying, he had Clare fix up a dreamless sleeping potion and given Madison both a vial of the dreamless potion and a sage just in case the potion didn't work. He believed that the dreams Madison had been having were causing her to lose her focus, and with the world being in constant danger against the Darkness, he couldn't risk having one of the rangers losing focus. Madison didn't like that she had to take the potion, but if Daggeron said it was important to take, then it was important. She still hated it, though.

Madison was out on the balcony of Rootcore, sitting on one of the balcony swings, looking out into the distance of the forest, watching the sunset go down behind the trees, thinking how beautiful the scenery looked with the pink, purple, and golden clouds. The gold somehow reminded Madison of the sand in Egypt. How it reminded her of Egypt, she did not know, but she wished she was an artist so that she could just draw it and refresh her memory of what it looked like, but she was content with just sinking it in. It made her relax and forget about everything that had been going on.

"Madison?" Madison jumped at the sound of the warm, gentle voice and turned to see Udonna standing right behind her with a worried expression on her face. "Are you alright? The others have gone to work…"

"I called in sick today, actually," Madison responded.

"Sick? Are you ill?" Udonna asked worriedly as she went over by her side, checking her forehead for a fever.

"No," Madison said as she laughed, feeling good at Udonna's concern. Udonna, always the mother-figure to all her rangers. "I'm not really sick, I just called in sick today because I wasn't up for it, I have a lot on my mind."

"Ah, it must be those dreams of yours that Daggeron and Vida keeps on talking about," Udonna said as she sat next to her.

"Vida told you?"

"No, Daggeron told Clare about them who then told me, and I overheard Vida tell the others about being worried about you because of these dreams you've been having," Udonna explained. There was a silence between the two women, Udonna noticing that Madison looked reluctant of talking about it, but tried to coax her. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Madison sighed. 'I might as well get it out now,' she thought.

"I've been having these dreams for over two weeks now," she began. "I'm not sure what they mean or why I keep having them. Most of them are always the same, but sometimes they are different."

"Can you explain what happens in these dreams?"

"My dreams are always in a certain place and time, but there is one where I am in a chamber and I see a sword with markings on it. I am not certain how I know what they mean because they are in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, but I can somehow understand them. They mean 'protector of mankind.' Then there is another one where I am a protector of an Egyptian princess, and we both witness the murder of her father by a priest and his mistress." At this, Udonna seemed to get a little uncomfortable. The term "mistress" always made her feel queasy inside. Madison did not notice this and just continued, "At the end of my dream, I am about to leave when I hear the princess cry and I turn around to see the princess falling off the edge, and that's it. I am not sure if the princess died or if I saved her. I know these dreams are just dreams, but I feel as if they are more than that, it feels as if they are…are…"

"Visions?" Udonna finished for her.

"Yes! And I don't know what to make of them…" Madison said. "I've never been to Egypt, much less in Ancient Egypt, and I know very little about it. You wouldn't happen to have any books on Ancient Egypt, do you?"

"I am afraid I don't, child," Udonna responded, and when she saw the disappointed look on Madison's face, she continued, "but I would suggest looking into it if it really means that much to you. It is always best to follow your dreams instead of ignoring them because you may never know what could happen if you do ignore them."

Madison went into deep thought at Udonna's words, fiddling and staring at the vial with the dreamless potion in it, wondering if she should drink it for the sake of the team, as Daggeron wished her too, or follow her dreams, as Udonna said.

"Do you think I should drink the potion?"

"It is all up to you, my child," Udonna said. "You can either ignore or follow your dreams, but no matter what choice you choose, there will always be good and bad consequences."

Madison nodded in understanding, but she felt that still was not going to help in knowing what she had to do.

"Now, I have to be going and you should too," Udonna said as she sat up from her seat. "It's getting late and you need to get home, it's not safe walking in the forest alone at night."

"Okay. Thanks, Udonna."

Udonna gave her a warm smile in response before going back inside. Madison sighed, still wondering what to do, but she decided to think on it more on the way home. Just as she was about to get up and leave, there was the sound of a chirp, but nothing small and cute-like, but very powerful and strong.

Madison looked up and saw a falcon perched on the edge, and it was looking at her with what she detected as a sad and disappointed look. It did not move, it just continued to stare at her with such intense scrutiny that it was beginning to freak Madison out. But she also felt guilty, for some strange reason, as the falcon gave her that disappointed look, but she wasn't sure what she was feeling guilty for. Madison decided it would not be worth in finding out and ran out of the balcony with the falcon never taking its eyes off of her.

While the blue witch was going through a hard time making a decision of what to do with her dreams, Calindor AKA Imperious, though preferred Imperious, was in deep thought of what to do for his next big plans to rule over humanity and destroy the power rangers. He was in the main pit chamber on the throne in his human form, just sitting in deep thought of what to do. Normally, Imperious did not like being seen in his human form, but there were no hidiacs or stexyoids (4) present in the pit, so he didn't really care about what form he was in at the moment.

He sighed in annoyance and frustration, running a hand through his hair. "What's the matter, Imperious?" came a sly, high-pitched voice. It was only Necrolai, but Imperious still did not like being seen in his human form. "Lost in thought?"

Imperious glared at Necrolai as he heard the smug tone in the hag's voice and said, "I would not have been if you have not interrupted me."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were going over your master plan," Necrolai said as she turned to leave before turning back, "that is if you even have one…"

"Leave me be, hag!" Imperious snarled at the Queen Vampire. "If you have anything better to do than to mock me, I suggest you leave or I'll turn you into a bug, like that annoying daughter of yours."

"Fine, then I guess you don't want to see what it is that I brought for you, something that could help destroy the rangers," Necrolai said, about to leave when Imperious stopped her.

"Wait! What is it that you brought me?"

"Just a little something that I know you will love," Necrolai said as she turned back around, revealing a small black crystal ball in her hand.

Imperious got up from the throne-like seat and walked towards Necrolai, snatching the crystal ball from her. "This is supposed to help me?" he said incredulously, referring to the crystal ball. "And how is this going to help me?"

"This is no ordinary crystal ball, Imperious," Necrolai said, "this will help you find the most evilest and strongest creatures in the world. The crystal ball can also help you where and how to find it."

Imperious looked interested as he stared at the crystal ball curiously, but he doubted as to whether or not it would work; plus, he didn't even know how to use it. "How does it help?"

"Just ask and it will help."

He looked at her strangely, wondering if this will even work because if this creature failed, Necrolai would pay the price. He was tired of failures, and he wanted something stronger and more powerful than the rangers, so that they could easily be defeated. He sighed before saying, "Show me the strongest and most powerful creature that will cause chaos and destruction to the human world and will be unstoppable."

There was silence and nothing happened for a while until a purple cloud of vapor appeared on the crystal ball and a pair of white eyes after that before they and the purple vapor disappeared and were replaced by a land that was unfamiliar to Imperious. The landscape was nothing but sand, and there was a blue river with the blazing sun shining down on the land with not a cloud in the sky. There was also a triangular-like pyramid, and Imperious immediately recognized the land as Egypt. He's never been to Egypt himself, but he had read the books on their legends and seen drawings of them.

Imperious was never really interested in the legends of Egypt, but now that the crystal ball had taken him to Egypt, he was curious to know as to what powerful and evil creature was hidden in this land. Suddenly, the land had turned dark as a dark shadow loomed over the sun. The figure of the shadow was hard to decipher of what it was, but from what Imperious saw, it looked half-human and half of a creature. Its body looked like a human as it held a spear in its hands, but its head illuminated a bird-like creature with a curved beak. Its white pupilless eyes were filled with a coldness that it would have made even Imperious shiver. It made such a loud-deafening screeching sound (5), but Imperious was filled with such delight when he saw the destruction the creature was making.

"Tell me where to find this creature," Imperious demanded. The crystal ball suddenly went black, surprising and angering the dark wizard. "What? What happened? Why won't this worthless thing tell me where to find the creature?"

"Hmm, it seems that somebody put a protection spell on the creature to prevent anybody from finding it that even the crystal ball can't find it," Necrolai said. "Perhaps there is someone who can show you where to find it…"

Sensing where she was going at, Imperious tried again. "Show me someone who knows where I can find the creature and where I can find him."

The crystal ball then showed him a handsome man with a shaven-head and copper-skin, but his image quickly changed to a gruesome one where his body was all skin and bones and looked more like a mummy than a man. Imperious smiled evilly, feeling as if he already won the battle. Once the crystal ball showed where he could find the mummy, he then turned to Necrolai.

"Go to Egypt and find the mummy known as Imhotep," he demanded. "He should be in a place known as Am Shere in a temple. Take this with you as well." He waved his hand and a map of the way to Am Shere appeared in Necrolai's hand.

"Now go, we have work to do."

Madison read through the article about Ancient Egypt, intrigued by what it was saying. When she got home, Madison immediately went on her laptop to do research on Ancient Egypt, reading articles about the culture and some of the ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses, fascinated about everything that was being said. She decided that if she was going to be taking the potion, then she was going to do research on Ancient Egypt. She somehow had to figure out what her dreams were telling her if she wasn't going to have them anymore.

"Maddie?"

Madison turned at the sound of her name, seeing her sister in the doorway of her bedroom, already in her pajamas and looking about ready to fall asleep.

"What are you doing up so late? It's midnight and we got work tomorrow," she said. "And there is no telling what Imperious and that bat bitch will be up to tomorrow."

"I know, sis, I'll be in bed in a minute, I'm just doing a bit of research," Madison responded as she turned her attention back to her laptop.

"What are you researching on?" Vida asked, suddenly curious, as she walked over, sitting down next to Madison at her desk and reading over her shoulder.

"I am reading a story about the battle between Horus and Seth (6)."

"Who?"

"Horus and Seth," Madison said before going into an explanation of them. "Horus and Seth are Ancient Egyptian gods. Horus is said to be the sky god and Seth the god of chaos. Legend says the god Seth killed Horus' father, Osiris, due to jealousy and became ruler of Egypt until Horus came and defeated him. It is really fascinating."

"Uh huh, yeah, what exactly is your point?" Vida asked, not really interested in what Madison was saying.

"I think that this story might help me find the answer with what my dreams are telling me. It is said that Horus killed his uncle with a falcon-headed spear…"

"And what does the spear have to do with anything?"

"Look at the staff," Madison said, getting a little frustrated by her sister's disbelief as she pointed at the picture of Horus, indicating to the staff he was holding. "The head of the staff is carved into a falcon, and in my dreams the scimitar I am protecting, the handle is carved into the shape of a falcon."

"And what does the staff have to do with the sword?"

"If you stopped interrupting me and listen, then you will find out," Madison snapped at Vida, finally having enough of her attitude. "Anyway, I think somehow the staff and sword are connected (7)."

She stared at the picture of the Egyptian sky god, Horus, (8) in wonderment, wishing she could learn more about him. There was so much she could learn from this about her dreams that she was thinking about not taking the potion for a moment, so she could learn more of what her dreams were telling her, but the moment did not last long.

Vida reached forward and slammed her sister's laptop shut, cutting Madison from knowing more. "Come on, Maddie, forget about the dreams and forget about Egypt and this sky god, it's not real," Vida tried to reason with her sister. She feared her sister was starting to lose her mind with these dreams. Normally, it was Madison that had the common sense.

"You shouldn't stress yourself out over something that isn't real. You, me, Nick, Xander, and Chip have more important things to worry about, like protecting Briarwood from crazy maniacs like Imperious, Koragg, Necrolai, and all those other guys. Now, Daggeron gave you orders to drink this potion, so that you could get some rest and stay concentrated. Drink this and then get some sleep."

Although Madison could see her sister's sense in all this, she suddenly felt the stinging emotion of anger in her chest. She could not really explain why she was experiencing anger towards her sister when, logically, her words made sense. None of these legends were true, but Madison found herself getting angry at Vida for saying that the Egyptian legends weren't true. 'If your magic is true, you ignorant wench, then so is Horus!' she found herself thinking. Realizing what she was saying, though, Madison quickly shook the words out of her head, wondering where that came from.

Vida then handed the vial to Madison and got up to leave before turning back to her, saying, "I know you want to know more, but maybe there are some things that are better left unknown. Now, sleep." Then finally left.

Madison sighed as she looked down at the vial, wishing she could just chuck the vile thing out the window, but she knew she had to drink it for the sake of the team. There was a noise from outside her window, and she looked up to see a falcon perched on a tree branch. The falcon was staring at her with such intensity, the same intensity the falcon before was giving her, and it held the same disappointed look as well. Was this the same falcon from Rootcore? Madison couldn't be sure, but she felt guilty again as she stared into its disappointed eyes. Quickly, though, she shook the feeling off.

'I have done nothing wrong, there is no reason for me to feel guilty, much less by a falcon,' she thought before getting ready for bed. As she drank the potion, she could feel the falcon's eyes on the back of her head, but she ignored it and went to bed, suddenly feeling very tired and grateful for the rest.

Madison was walking through a barren wasteland, not really sure where she was heading, but having a feeling that she had to get away. Unlike the barren wasteland to get to the Tribunal of Magic where the sand was dark and felt soft and wet beneath her feet and a sunless sky, this barren wasteland had golden sand that was soft and warm with a bright, sizzling sun that was shining down on the land and a clear blue sky.

Her garments were very strange, almost as if they were ancient, with a black skirt and a leather black top that showed her midriff, and she also had these strange markings on her face. Madison also noticed that she was holding a sword in her hand, the same sword from her dreams, and seemed on the edge, though she was not sure what she was on the edge of. It was not until that she heard the cry of a falcon from above that her stress became ten times worse. She felt concerned for the bird because the cry sounded distressed.

"What is wrong?" Madison asked the falcon, her words on her tongue sounding foreign, but familiar to her ears. "If something is wrong, please tell me or at least show me."

It was quiet for a moment before there came a horrible screeching sound that nearly destroyed Madison's eardrums, and she spun around only to see a horrifying figure. The figure was tall, and it loomed over her, staring down at her with an evil glint in his eyes that it sent shivers down her spine. His face resembled a creature and his pupilless white eyes were menacing and filled with lust; but for a lust for power or for blood, Madison could not tell.

Normally, Madison would be very scared and have a desire to run, but she just glared at the creature with such ferocity and did not back down by putting up a fighting stance. "You will never rule the world, you ugly beast, go back to where you came from!" she snarled.

The creature laughed, a deep, menacing laugh that it surprised Madison to hear such a sound from a creature like this, and it chilled her to the very bone.

"Try and stop me, foolish mortal."

He then threw the staff in the air at something ahead of him, and Madison turned around in time to see him strike down the falcon with his staff, piercing it through the heart. She watched in horror as she saw the falcon fall to its doom, tears brimming in her eyes and becoming overwhelmed with sorrow.

"Haroeris!" (9)

The creature behind her laughed, and Madison's sorrow soon turned to anger. "You will pay for that, Suetekh (10)!" she said, whirling around back to the vile creature.

The creature just continued to laugh, his laugh so loud that he shook the earth. It was then that something felt different to Madison, like there was a draft throughout her whole body, making her shiver, and she looked down and was surprised to see she was not wearing the clothes she had on before. Instead of the black skirt and top, she wore nothing but a loincloth around her waist with a beaded black Egyptian wig on top of her head. Her skin was painted gold with black patterns up and down her arms and snake-like pattern painted on her torso that looked like a large V-neck from her shoulders through her breasts and down below her naval. She also wore a choker around her neck with a two set of bracelets on her ankles and upper arms. (11)

Realizing that she was practically naked under the scrutiny of the creature, Madison felt very vulnerable, and the matter only gotten worse when she noticed he had the sword in his hand.

"Now you and the world will be mine!"

"NO!"

Madison woke up and sat up from her bed with a start, but then she realized that what happened was only a dream. She took a deep breath before letting it out, trying to steady her breathing. When her breathing became even, she began to wonder on her thoughts. "Why didn't the dreamless potion work? Did the sage even work?" she asked herself.

If Clare's dreamless potion didn't work, then the sage should have, but neither of them worked. What the hell happened, then, if the potion and the sage didn't work? Madison looked over at the drawer that was next to her bed where the sage laid on top of it and was in shock to see the sage was charcoal as if someone had burned it.

"But who—how…?"

There was the sound of a chirp, and Madison looked up to see the falcon from before standing on her windowsill, still looking at her with that intense gaze. As Madison stared back into its yellow eyes, she could hear Udonna's words into her head: It is always best to follow your dreams instead of ignoring them because you may never know what could happen if you do ignore them. Looking into the falcon's eyes, Madison suddenly understood it a bit more.

"Horus?"

A smile seemed to have appeared in the falcon's eyes and nodded. Madison didn't know what to make of that, but she knew, as she got dressed back into her clothes from the day before, that she was going to take a trip to Egypt tonight.

A/N: Awesome, finally done! So what did you think of it? Good, okay? I don't care if you guys don't like it and say you didn't like it, but please no flames because I find those very disrepsectful. Now, time for a little bit of info:

(1) Nut is believed to be the sky goddess in the Egyptian culture. I am not entirely sure if she is a night or day sky goddess. Before, she was known as a day sky goddess, but then became just known as the sky goddess.

(2) In case you didn't know, the Egyptians had a belief that their leader (the Pharaoh) was a living god and whatever blasphemy is done against him (such as touching his mistress), the punishment is very severe.

(3) In the movie, The Mummy, this tattoo is considered a sacred mark of the Medjai. The Eye of Horus that is on the tattoo is called the udjat and is a symbol of Horus as the son of Osiris and Isis and the sun-god. This symbol mostly represents Horus' right eye and not his left due to it being destroyed in battle against the god of chaos, Seth.

(4) I am not sure how to spell "stexyoid" so if anybody knows how to spell it correctly, please let me know and I'll fix it.

(5) The creature that is described to Imperious and Necrolai is known as the god of chaos, Seth. He causes destruction and chaos throughout the world, and is believed to be the strongest of all the Egyptian gods, besides Horus, but also the most evil. There are some records of Seth, though, that describes him as good when fighting against a monster for the Egyptian sun-god, Re, but he is mostly described as evil. His animal represents a Seth-like animal, though no one knows what it really looks like, and also pigs, donkeys, fishes, and a huge red hippo. (The color red symbolizes either a great evil or a great victory)

(6) The Battle of Horus and Seth is a battle between Horus and Seth for control over the Egyptian land. Seth had a brother, Osiris, and two sisters, Isis and Nephthys, the latter being also his wife. Seth grew jealous of Osiris, who was a good and just ruler for the land of Egypt and was husband to Isis, and killed him, becoming ruler of Lower (North) Egypt. He tried to kill his nephew, Horus, but Horus' mother, Isis, hidden him on an island until it was finally time for him to face his uncle and fight for the throne. It is said that in this battle, Seth destroyed Horus' left eye, but also that Horus killed his uncle with his falcon-headed spear and ruled over all of Egypt. It is said that after death, all the gods and goddesses banished him to the desert. ( www. egyptianmyths seth. htm) However, there is another saying that both gods will come back to earth and there will be another battle between them again where Horus would win again. If you wish to know more, here is the full tale of the legend: www. egyptianmyths mythisis. htm

(7) Just so you know, the scimitar of Horus is not real, I just made it up for fun. This story is just revolved around the legend of Horus and Seth.

(8) Horus is described as both the Egyptian sky and sun-god, but the god, Re, is the sun-god. The reason why Horus is associated as a sun-god is because he symbolizes the rising sun and is associated with Khepera which symbolizes resurrection and eternal life. He symbolizes a falcon, which is why he is associated as the sky-god.

(9) Horus had many different names, Haroeris being one of them. Haroeris means "Horus the Elder; Harmakhis "Horus in the Horizon"; Harpokrates "the infant Horus"; or Harsiesis "Horus, the son of Isis." Those three are the most well-known names, though there is also Hor, Heru, Her.

(10) Another name for Seth. He is also named Set as well, and is sometimes associated with Pharaohs who are called "Seti."

(11) Imagine Maddie looking like Anck-su-namun in the beginning of The Mummy.
