CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - HAPPY TO BE ME

𝓣𝚁𝙴𝙽𝚃

ALL OF US WERE OUTSIDE the base as we were wearing our ninja training suits. "Ta-da! This is the Superstar Mode Star. It works with your Gold energy when you add it to the Superstar Blade that Sarah made." Mick explained.

"Nice." Preston complimented, fist bumping Sarah.

"Whoa, a new mode for me?" Levi asked.

"Yes, sirree!" Mick replied.

"Cool." Levi said.

"Give it a try." Mick told him.

"All right." Levi took the star from Mick. "Ninja—"

Before Levi could transform, he ended up getting attacked by some sort of energy, making us be alert.

"Levi!" Brody called out.

Tynamon laughed. "Tynamon used some kind of spell on you!" Preston exclaimed.

"Are you okay?" Sarah questioned.

"I'm fine." Levi responded. But it wasn't in his voice, instead it was Tynamon's.

"Aren't I? Wait, my voice!" Levi exclaimed.

"What'd did you do to my brother?" Brody asked.

"I'd like to know too." I added. "What did you do to my fiancé you Ursula wannabe?"

Tynamon laughed. "Isn't it obvious?" He questioned in Levi's voice. "Oh, don't I sound great? I've got the voice of a Ranger!" He said as he continued laughing and disappeared.

"He sounded just like you." Hayley pointed out.

"Tynamon must have switched my voice with his!" Levi said.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

All of us were at school by the pool table. I was wearing a green tank top.

"I just don't get it. Why would the monsters mess up your voice?" Hayley asked.

"Well, the Ninja Stars respond to Ranger voices. Without his voice, Levi can't morph. So, that's one less Ranger to fight." Sarah answered.

"Plus, I sound awful. My singing career is toast." Levi said.

"Don't say that." Hayley tried to reassure him.

"Preston." Levi said.

"Mm-hm?" Preston answered.

"You said Tynamon put a spell on me, right?" Levi questioned as Preston nodded his head. "Well, you can do magic, so how about reversing it?"

"Uh..."

"I need my voice back." Levi told him.

"It's not that simple. I don't know what spell he used, so it's harder for me to undo it." Preston informed.

"Will you at least try? Please." Levi questioned.

"Yeah, sure. I'll check my spell books." Preston finally agreed.

"Thanks." Levi said as Preston walked away.

"Man, I sound ridiculous." Levi commented.

"Ridiculous? You can say that again!" Victor agreed as Monty laughed.

"You sound like a chipmunk!" Monty added.

"Very funny." Levi said.

"Man, that's screechy." Victor said in a squeaky voice. "Somebody get this man some oil!" He added in a normal voice.

"How about I give you a knuckle sandwich instead, Vincent?!" I threatened before Calvin held me back from punching Victor in the face.

"Cool it, Trent." Calvin told me.

"If it's not monsters, it's Victor who spikes up my anger issues." I thought. "I'm calm, Cal." I said as Calvin released me.

"Guys! Levi is sick." Brody said, stepping up to them. "He has... "tynamonitis" of the throat."

"Oh, no. Is he, um..." Monty cleared his throat. "Contagious?"

"Oh, yeah. Very contagious." Hayley replied.

All of us walked closer to the duo. "Smile, and back away." Victor said.

"He could infect the whole school." Monty added.

"I don't wanna catch it."

"I know just what we need. Come on."

Victor and Monty ran out of the school.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

We entered the base to find Preston looking through his spell books. "Hey, Mick." Sarah greeted.

"Well... can you get my voice back for me?" Levi asked.

Preston closed the spell book he was looking at. "Um, here, I found this spell and it might work but dark magic is really powerful." He answered, about to close the book but Levi stopped him.

"Preston, please just try it. I can't stand listening to this screechy voice." Levi begged.

"Okay. Okay, all right." Preston said, clearing his throat. We all gathered around him.

"Let's hope this works." Preston stated. "Evagoo taran dava. Help Levi speak once more. Put him back to how he was before!"

Preston did his magic and Levi appeared as a kid again. I coughed to hold back my laugh.

"Ah! Oh, no!" Preston exclaimed.

"Oh, yes." I countered as we walked over to him.

"He is "back to how he was before." Like, ten years before." Sarah added, holding up the mirror for Levi to see himself.

"Preston! I'm a kid!" Levi exclaimed.

"Hey, at least we can still see you. Remember, Preston, you turned me invisible." Hayley said.

"I don't know what went wrong." Preston stuttered.

"Try another spell." Calvin suggested.

"No way! He'll probably turn me into a pumpkin." Levi stated.

Sarah chuckled. "Okay, don't worry, little Levi, we'll help Presto go through the books." Calvin said.

"Yeah, we will find the right spell to fix you." Sarah added.

"Yeah. Of course we will." Preston agreed. "Someday." He whispered to himself.

"So, I guess for now, you're my little brother, huh?" Brody questioned.

"We might have to find an extra small tuxedo for you, bubs." I added, patting his cheek.

"Very funny, you two." Levi told us as Brody and I laughed. Suddenly, the alarm blared.

"Oh, no. What is it, Mick?" Redbot asked.

"Uh, Buzz-Cams detected in the city." Mick replied.

"Let's go, guys. It could be Tynamon." Brody informed as we headed out.

"Oh, Levi, you should probably stay here, until you can morph again." Brody said. "Hey, maybe Redbot can read you a bedtime story?"

Everyone laughed. "Very funny." Levi commented.

"Sorry." Preston said again.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

All of us rushed to the spot where the Buzz-Cams were located.

"Welcome, Rangers. Are you ready? It's time to begin." Tynamon said, pulling out a familiar Ninja Star.

I widened my eyes. "That's what my bad feeling was after our battle with Voltipede." I think to myself.

"Hey! That's our Ninja Fusion Star!" Hayley commented.

"Where did you get that?" Brody asked.

"You should remember, because you're the one who dropped it!" Tynamon replied.

"No way!"

"What?"

"I just can't wait to use it." Tynamon said.

"Of course. That's why he took Aiden's voice. He needed it to use our Fusion Star against us." I thought. Everything was piercing together.

"The Star will never work for a monster!" Sarah informed. "Will it?"

"Yes, it will. Because he has Levi's voice." Hayley responded.

"That's why he took it. Our Ninja Stars only respond with our voices." I added.

"Ninja Fusion Star, Lock in!" Tynamon said as all of us got into a fighting stance. "Skullgators, combine! Ninja Spin!"

That's when the Skullgators combined into one. "Megamauler, ready!"

"Oh, this is bad. Really bad." Preston said.

"Took the words right out of my mouth, Pres." I told him.

"Oh, yes. It's bad and it's beautiful!" Tynamon stated.

"I'm Megamauler and I'll flatten everything!" Megamauler exclaimed.

"Not us!" Brody claimed.

"Ninja Spin!" We all shouted as we morphed.

"Ninja Steel Megazord, combine! Ninja Spin!" Brody shouted as we got into our Megazord as well as Super Steel Mode.

"He's coming right at us!" Brody exclaimed as we got trampled over.

"The Megazord's bricking unstable!" Calvin informed.

"It's gonna break apart!" Sarah added.

All of us ended up landing on the ground and Megamauler laughed.

"He blew right though our Megazord!" Hayley exclaimed.

"There's no way we can beat a monster that was created by the Fusion Star." Calvin stated.

"Preston, you have to find a way to break Tynamon's spell and get Levi's voice back." Brody said.

"Right. I'll do my best. Let's get back to the base!" Preston said.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Nothing in here." Sarah said, dropping a book down.

"Me either." Hayley sighed.

"That's it. That's all the magic books I have." Preston said as Levi walked in. "I'm sorry, Levi. We haven't found a single spell that can help you."

Levi sighed. "You know, maybe that's okay. I've been thinking. It's not the end of the world. I've been a kid before, and I can do it again if I have to. And as for my voice, well, there's more to music than just singing."

"Whoa, what's gotten into you?" Hayley asked.

"I was feeling really mixed up, and then I heard one of my songs. It made me realize that no matter what changes on the outside, I'm still me on the inside. And I'm really happy to be me." Levi replied.

"Wait a second." Preston suddenly said.

"What is it, Preston?" Brody questioned.

"You said you were feeling "mixed-up." Maybe you were "mixed-up." And so was my magic. It got tangled with the spell Tynamon used. Hmm." Preston answered, looking through a spell book.

"Aha!"

"What is it?" Levi asked.

"A "separation" spell." Preston replied, holding the book up.

"Will that work?" Calvin questioned.

"I hope so." Preston responded as he grabbed his wand.

"Are you ready?" Preston asked as Levi nodded. "Dellepsid eb dna etarapes sdnik owt fo cigam!"

Levi was finally back to his normal self. "I think it worked! It did work! My voice is back!" He said.

Levi went to hug Preston. "It's good to have you back, bro." Brody informed.

"I agree. It's nice to have my fiancé back to normal." I added, chuckling a bit.

"Hey, don't think that I forgot about you teasing me, T." Levi reminds me, pulling on my ear.

"Ouch! Aiden, it was a joke! Not the ear please! Dad used to do that constantly!"

"You're lucky I love you."

Everyone laughed as the alarm blared. "Melt my motherboard, I'm detecting monster activity on Third Avenue!" Redbot informed.

"We'd better go." Hayley said.

"Oh! Uh, Levi!" Mick called out, holding out the Superstar Ninja Star. "Maybe you could test out the new Superstar Mode for me?"

Levi took it. "Sure thing, Mick!" He replied as we all headed out of the base.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

We had arrived at Third Avenue. "Just in time, Rangers." Tynamon said in his normal voice.

"So, Preston's spell changed your voice back, too. Well, it's a good thing you're all in one piece before we destroy you!" Brody claimed as we all got out our morphers.

"It's Morphin' Time!" Brody shouted. "Power Stars!"

"Lock in! Ready!" We all shouted. "Ninja Spin!"

We all morphed as we landed on the ground. "Watch out, Rangers! I'm about to give the word "destruction" new meaning!" Megamauler exclaimed.

"Speaking of "new," time to try out my new Ninja Star!" Levi said. "Superstar Mode, Activate! Ninja Spin!"

Levi got covered in a gold mist as his suit had a fringe polo added to it. "Check it out! Levi's new mode is epic!" Brody said.

"As if I wasn't attracted to Aiden enough as it is. That Superstar Mode makes me glad he's mine." I added.

"Storm Star, lock in!" Levi said. "Storm Star, Tornado mode, Ninja Spin! Defeating you is gonna be a breeze!"

"A little wind doesn't scare me!" Megamauler exclaimed.

"It should." Levi informed. "Superstar Storm Slash! Final Attack!"

Levi easily defeated Megamauler. "What? No!" Tynamon shouted.

"That was amazing, bro!" Brody complimented.

"I'm just getting warmed up!" Levi said as he did a twirl. "Here it goes!"

"Lion Fire Red! Come on let's help him out!" Brody told us.

"Yeah!"

"Let's go!"

The rest of us headed over to help Levi with Tynamon as he fell to the ground when Levi kicked him.

"Ow! That one hurt!" Tynamon exclaimed.

"This will teach you not to steal people's voices! Lightning Mode! Ninja Spin!" Levi said as lightning appeared.

"Superstar Supercharge!" Levi shouted. "Lightning Slash! Final Attack!"

"Oh, no! My brilliant plan has fallen apart!" Tynamon said as Levi picked up the Fusion Ninja Star.

"Hey, looks like you dropped something!" Levi stated as he tossed the Fusion Ninja Star to Brody.

"Our Fusion Star. Nice!" Brody exclaimed.

"I'll get you for this!" Tynamon said as he retreated.

"Well, he's gone!" Levi said.

"But we got the Star back!" Sarah informed.

That's when Megamauler appeared again. "Here comes Megamauler again. Better call our Zords." Levi stated.

"Blaze Zord Stars!" Brody yelled.

"Lock in! Activate! Ninja Spin!" We shouted as we started combining our Blaze Zords into the Megazord. We also got into Super Steel Mode.

"I'll flatten you all!" Megamauler claimed.

"Not so fast, buddy!" Preston said as we attacked him.

"He's too strong. We got to try another approach. Any ideas?" Brody asked.

"Block his roller!" Levi replied as we did so.

"No! I'm stuck!" Megamauler exclaimed.

"It worked!" Sarah commented.

"Wait a second. The monsters surprised us by combining Skullgators, maybe we can combine something surprising, too, like the Blaze Megazord and the Ultrazord!" Brody said.

"Great idea!" Levi agreed.

"Zord Stars! Activate! Ninja Spin!"

"All right team, let's hope this works. Ninja Ultra Star! Lock in!" Brody shouted. "Ninja Blaze Ultrazord, combine! Ninja Spin!"

We appeared in the new cockpit. "A whole new combination!" Brody said.

"This is amazing!" Sarah commented.

"Great idea, Brody!" Preston said.

"Let's try it out!" Brody said. Megamauler finally was able to get free. "He broke through the block! But we're ready for him!"

We all headed to attack him. "Blaze Ultra Strike!" Brody yelled as we attacked Megamauler.

All of us cheered. "This thing is so fast!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Back off, Rangers!" Megamauler shouted.

"Blaze Ultra Blitz!" Brody yelled as we fired at Megamauler again and again.

"Yeah! Let's finish this guy!" Brody said. "Levi, Rose this!"

"Thanks, bro!" Levi said, taking the weapon. Brody stood on top of the Ultrazord.

"Begin Final Attack! Ninja Spin!" Levi shouted. "Ninja Super Steel Blaster, energize!"

"Ninja Blaze Firestorm!"

We had finally destroyed Megamauler as we all cheered.

"Show's over! Ninjas win!" Levi said.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"So, Levi, how does it feel to be back to normal?" Hayley asked as all of us were walking in a park.

"You know what, the only difference is, that I look like this guy's big brother again." Levi answered as we all chuckled.

"Too bad. I guess the extra small tux won't be no use anymore." I sighed in disappointment while Levi just smacked my head. "Ouch! Joking! Only joking!"

Everyone laughed again. We spotted a young girl with red hair sitting on a picnic table that Levi was mentioning.

"Hey, wait. This is her." Levi informed as we walked towards her. "Hey, your name's Rosie, right?" He asked, sitting down next to her.

"Oh, my gosh! Levi Weston?" Rosie questioned.

"Nice to meet you. I hear you're a fan." Levi told her. "You gave some good advice to, uh, a friend of mine. He's a kid with sort of a funny voice."

"You mean Aiden? Really, you're friends?" Rosie asked. I was sitting next to Levi.

"Yeah, we're, uh, we're very close. So, I was wondering... Do you wanna play ball with us?" Levi questioned, taking out a golden soccer ball.

"Yeah, that'd be great!" Rosie answered.

"All right." Levi said as we all got off the picnic table and started playing ball.

"Wow! You got him!" Hayley said.

"That was great!" Sarah added.

"Come on, Preston!" Levi said.

"Wow. That's Levi Weston." The boy nearby said.

The three boys nearby walked up to us. "Excuse me, Mr. Weston? Can we play with you?" The boy asked.

"What do you think, Rosie? Can these kids play with us?" Levi asked the red haired girl.

"Hmm. I guess so." Rosie replied.

"Attagirl. Come on!" Levi stated.

Rosie kicked the ball super high. "Whoa! Nice kick!" The boy complimented. Rosie giggled as all of us continued playing.

All of us saw Victor and Monty in golden suits in the mud as all of us laughed.
