Janet Jeffingstone looked in on her daughter, watching little Milly brush her teeth. "Hi there sweetheart."
Milly took the brush out of her mouth and smiled up at her mommy. The tooth paste covering her teeth. Janet laughed before gesturing at them. "Oh crackers!" Milly spit in the sink and then filled up a cup of water, swished it around in her mouth and then spit in the sink again before wiping her face with a kleenex. "That's better!"
"You are so adorable sweety." Janet said as she walked into the bathroom and hugged her.
"I love you mommy!"
"Alright, now you head off to bed and daddy will come tuck you in and read you a story."
"Okay!" Milly kissed her mom's cheek and ran off to bed.
Janet walked out to see Christopher her husband, still wearing his business suit. "How do I look?"
"Now why are you still wearing that silly thing?"
"She likes it. Especially the tie, it makes her laugh. I'll read her a bedtime story, change and then come tuck you in. Besides, tomorrow's a day off, we can all go to the zoo tomorrow."
"She'd like that."
The two kissed and Christopher sat down on a chair in his daughter's room and read her a bedtime story before kissing his daughter goodnight and walking out, stopping to turn on her night light and heading to bed. Milly settled into bed, hugging her stuffed unicorn.
An hour later, the entire family was sound asleep. The music started then, outside of Milly's window.
She sat up and stared straight ahead for a few minutes before getting up out of bed and putting on slippers. Milly opened her door and walked down the hallway and then walked to the door to her house and opened it up, walking away into the night as the music played on.

Epic Power Rangers: Music of The Gnome.
At the Youth Center the next day.
"Look, all I'm saying is that I am staying away from pork for awhile." Kimberly said to Trini. "Hey, completely understandable Kim."
They walked in to find Jason and Zack teaching their classes, Billy tutoring younger students and Sarah lifting weights. The two girls waved as they walked in.
"Hey there." Sarah set down the weights. "How's it going?"
"Great." Kimberly said.
"Need a spotter?" Trini asked.
"I'd love one." Sarah said and laid down on the bench, grabbing the weights.
Kimberly headed up to the juice bar and ordered a salad.
Jason showed a kata to his students.

Jason bowed to his students. "Alright, now let me see each of you use what I've taught you."
"Yes sir!" The students said and repeated what he showed them, Jason walking around and watching for anyone who needed help.
"So as we can see here, the luminosity of a black hole is shown by this formula: L = sigma*A*T^4." Billy explained to his students and showed them his notes. The students looked closely and started writing them down.

Zack was showing off his dance moves to his class, though he required quite a bit of room for it.

Once he was finished and took a bow, he turned to get a drink of water only to see a beautiful girl handing it to him.
" moves, you're Zack right?"
"The one and only, thanks for the drink Miss..."
"Angela."

"Very nice to meet you Angela."
Jason smiled as he watched Zack and then turned his attention back to the class.
Bulk and Skull walked in and sat down at the bar. "Ernie...please tell me you still have some good food." Bulk pleaded.
"Always do Bulk, something wrong?"
"That pig monster ate so much food that the city is still replenishing it all...I've been starved." Kimberly shuddered at the mention of the pig.
"Alright I've got you covered. One sundae coming up." Ernie smiled and turned on a game.
"And while we're here..." Skull whipped out a ten and placed it on the counter. "This should pay for the lady's salad."
"Oh....I already payed Skull."
"Oh."
"Still...thanks."
They hung out for awhile longer until the channel suddenly changed to a news report. "We interrupt this broadcast to bring you an urgent report: Families all around Angel Grove have reported their children missing!"
Everybody in the Youth Center immediately stopped what they were doing and ran to the bar, crowding in front of the television as the reporter explained that the children had vanished from their rooms and were missing in the morning and their parents had been frantically searching for them.
The teens exchanged glances. Bandora. Sarah's hands balled into fists.
Up on the Moon.
"Do we have them?"
"Yes my Empress, the Gnome has performed his job perfectly."
"Wonderful."
"My Empress, may I ask why we need these children?"
"Certainly Goldar. We're going to use them to summon Lokar. The pure hearts of these darling children will be what draws him to this dimension. We will have them draw the markings and perform the ritual. When the dimensional gateway opens, they will double as a sacrifice, ensuring Lokar will be at full power, ensuring the complete annihilation of the human race. What do you think?"
Even Goldar was silent for a moment.
"Goldar."
"Yes my Empress, this is truly a plan worthy of you, great dark one. And the Rangers?"
"They will not be able to fight the gnome thanks to his music, and even if they can, we have spares, he can use the children as shields should it come down to it. Now, go guard the cave we have them in, just in case they do make it past the gnome."
"Yes Bandora." Goldar bowed and then teleported away.
Goldar arrived at the cave where the Gnome was playing his accordion music, making the children draw the symbols and light the black candles. "Ahhh, sir Goldar, here for the concert?" The Gnome asked as he sat on a large rock.

Goldar growled slightly at him. "How is the plan coming along?"
"Very good. The children are excellent artists. It will only take a little while longer before we're ready to begin the ritual. So come on, sit down and enjoy the music."
"I'll go guard the cave, do your job." Goldar said and walked away.
Gnome nodded and continued playing his music.
"Alright everybody, we're going to split into groups and look for those kids!" Ernie declared. "Gather together, stay in one group and do not split off from your group. If you see any sign of the children, immediately inform the police. If you run into a monster, run the other way, inform the police and wait for them and the Power Rangers to show up. Do not attempt to engage the monsters in any way or form. Does everybody understand this?"
The teenagers in the Juice Bar agreed.
Jason, Kim, Trini, Billy, Zack and Sarah gathered in one group. Bulk and Skull gathered together with their fellow punks and other teens hooked up with each other and each group ran off in their own direction.
Once the Rangers were sure that they were out of sight of anybody, they teleported to the Command Center.
"Zordon! Bandora has been kidnapping children around Angel Grove!" Sarah said.
"Hello Rangers. We have been monitoring the situation but it was only just now that we have been able to get a view of the monster." Zordon said.
"The Gnome monster's music had been hiding it from the Viewing Globe but we've found him now." Alpha added.
The teens turned around and gathered around the viewing globe. The scene showed to them was quite haunting. There was a form of....what they could only describe as static, like the images on the viewing globe were being interfered with. What they did see however, was a gnome monster playing an accordion while sitting on top of a house's roof. Once all of the lights were out, the monster stood up and started playing different music. Even the Rangers themselves felt strange listening to it. Jason rubbed his forehead. "Does anybody else feel strange?"
"That is the monster's magical music at work. If it can affect you even through the viewing globe, it must be stronger than we thought..."
"Look!"
The child walked out of the house, her eyes staring ahead blankly. Walking out onto the driveway, she stared blankly ahead before turning around and seeing the Gnome standing behind her. He offered the girl his hand and they teleported away.
"Damn you Bandora. What the hell does she want the children for?!" Sarah asked.
"Please calm your mind Sarah, we understand your anger. Please, turn your attention back to the viewing globe." They saw Goldar standing tall in front of a cave hidden in the mountains.
"We have detected a growing amount of dark magic from the inside of the cave." Alpha said. "Whatever they are up to, we must stop it soon."
"Alright...I have an idea." Billy said. "Trini, you're with me. I need to grab some things from my lab, but I could create a device that could disrupt his music. You guys have to stop him and get those kids out of there."
"Alright, now everybody be careful. The priority is the children's safety." Jason said to them. "I'll distract Goldar, the rest of you guys run in the first chance you get and start teleporting those kids away."
"Right!"
The team bumped fists and Billy and Trini teleported away. Arriving at his home lab, Billy took off his glasses and scanned the lab. Smiling, he ran over to several devices he had been building and began picking them up, looking at them, placing them back down and then putting others into a bag.
"Trini, grab the machines I have over there."
"Right!"
"Alright, it's Morphin Time!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Eagle!"
The Red, Black, Pink and Violet Rangers teleported in front of the cave. "Where are the children Goldar?!" Jason demanded.
"Inside here...but you won't be able to save them, unless you can defeat me!" He pointed his sword at the team.
"Take him down!" Jason charged in and clashed swords with Goldar for a few brief moments before Goldar knocked him away and slashed him, sending the red ranger flying. Zack attacked from the left with his axe but Goldar parried him and then kicked the black ranger away. Kimberly fired arrows from range. Goldar slashed one of the arrows away, blasted another away with his eye beams and caught the last one, throwing it away. Sarah leaped in and swung her staff at the golden knight. The two dueled each other for a few brief moments only for Goldar to knock her away as well but he was then hit by an exploding arrow from Kimberly, sparking him. Goldar took a step back but recovered and sent fireballs from his sword at her. Kimberly jumped high into the air to avoid them and Goldar flew up after her and slashed at her, causing Kimberly to fall to the ground on her back. As Goldar was flying down at her, Jason leaped after him and attacked Goldar, the two slashing at each other in the air. Jason and Goldar both landed hits at the same time and they fell to the ground. Both jumping back up to their feet, they began fighting it out as the others recovered and ran inside the cave.
Billy and Trini returned to the Command Center with all of the gear they had gathered. "Alright, let's get to work!" Billy said.
Within the cave, the ritual had begun. The symbols were written on the floor, walls and the top of the cave. The children had been prepared with the blood markings and they took their places, each of them standing in a circle and holding a black candle. Milly took her place. Her eyes pure black. "Oh Great Lokar, we call to you."
"GREAT LOKAR!" The others chimed in.
"As our Empress Bandora commands, we offer ourselves to you so that you may come to this plane! Turn the skies red, turn our waters black, bring forth an era of death and darkness to our world. We offer ourselves to you!"
"WE OFFER OURSELVES! WE OFFER OURSELVES!"
"Appear to us now as we speak the ancient words!"
All of the children began speaking at once. "Utag sitot tegisa giyac opesah! Qene tereciv fated te sa ramoge ohat tani hewine la! Ra inaban ganici tise dusar lu aruqi petohe cit! Nenomek pobiyo yac enuderah!" The cave walls turned pure black as the red symbols began covering the cave and glowing. A storm started up outside.
"STOP IT!"
A putty was flung through the air, bouncing across the ground and landing in the middle of the ritual. Gnome stood up and looked at them. The Power Rangers ran into the cavern. "Please! You have to stop all of this!" Sarah yelled to the children. "Bandora is controlling all of you! Please, your parents love and miss you! Let us help you!" They were suddenly blasted back, slamming into each other. The Gnome appeared in front of them. "Hey! We're in the middle of something here! You wait outside humans!"
The Rangers stood back up and stared him down. "GIVE THE CHILDREN BACK!" Sarah yelled at him.
"I don't know what you're up to in here but it stops now!" Kimberly said and readied her bow.
Zack raised his axe. "We're getting these children home, if we have to hack you to pieces to do it!"
"Now, now Rangers! Nobody likes rudeness, here, have some music!" Gnome said and started playing his accordion. The music blasted the three backwards and slammed them against a wall. They fell down and clutched at their helmets as he attempted to control them with the magic. Forcing herself to attack, Sarah charged forward and slashed at him.
