Down in Hades and Meemy calls, "Me Zazare!" In his hands appears an orb, blackness contained inside green shell. It turns on his palm with a low grown and there is a closed large eye. Above, Nai and Mea peek around and look worried. They recognize it. It glows brightly in Meemy's hand, then releases a sickly, green gas. Above them, the Zobiru and High Zobiru alike writhe when the gas gets to them and fall, rolling off the ledges and landing in twisting agony on the bottom. Nai and Mea are unaffected and trot down the stairs. The fallen Zobiru and High Zobiru start to turn green. The eye opens, black pupil surrounded by a red ring then a golden one, two colors in the iris of an otherwise white eye. Light flares from the eye, and the afflicted Zobiru groan as they disintegrate. The girls look pained and even horrified. "Kinga no me kinjuu, Mold," they identify the thing in Meemy's hands. Meemy chuckles and looks down. The eye is closed again. "Looks like you're sleeping," he tells Mold tenderly. ��⮏b ���[���h He turns to Nai and Mea, telling them to go try it out on the humans, and they cry, "Yessir!" bouncing down the rest of the stairs. "I ask of you," Meemy says, passing Mold into Nai's hand. They grin and pull out the Wolzaphones enthusiastically, stretching their arms up. But before they can use them, Wolzard's hands close around the two items. He takes them and the girls wail. "Our magic!" protests Nai. "Magic!" echoes Mea. "I'm taking it back," Wolzard says indifferently. He turns his back on them and puts the phones together, returning them to a ball of magic power, which he pushes back into his chest. "Give it back!" wail Nai and Mea, tugging on his shoulder and pounding weakly on his back. He lets out of a pulse of black energy, knocking them away. He sounds excited as he says, "The five little magi hold the Legendary power in their hands. This will be a new match! You wait, five little magi."

The day is overcast, and Makito returns home with a wicker basket full of vegetables on his back. Throwing the gate open ahead of him he calls, "We're home, we're home!" With Aniki Farm's fall harvets. Houka is behind him with a load of what looks like cucumbers, and Urara behind her with a basket perhaps of carrots. On their heels is a weary Tsubasa, carrying another basket full of such things as Daikon. He is not happy with having been recruited for the harvest and complains bitterly. Urara steps back to buck up his spirits. Being a girl, she got to carry the light stuff. Radishes, potatoes, etc etc. Houka is wiping of the Green Onions. She suddenly starts whining because she's spotted an insect and she hates insects. This gets Makito grinning. He wipes a Sweet Potato on his sleeve and takes a happy bite out of it. "I'm home!" we hear Kai's voice. They are hanging out in the front yard and welcome him back. Makito notes Kai's a bit late. Kai is, however, steaming. "Brothers, sisters!" he growls, and throws the soccerball in his hands angrily down to bounce chaotically about. "Everyone listen up!" Presumably they do, for next we see them on the steps. The doors to the house are open to let the autumn breezes in. Makito sits behind an unhappy Kai. Urara next to him, and Houka leans against the bricks holding up a pillar. Urara says, "Is that so..." sympathetically. And something else. Tsubasa moves into the scene after tossing the soccer back to Kai, pointing out something about soccer. Sounds suspiciously like Kai is not having good grades. He goes to the baskets of vegetables and settles down, picking at the sweet potatoes. "Looks like I'll have to quit soccer," he says miserably. At that, Makito's hand sets firmly on his shoulder. Kai turns questioningly and finds Makito has a stunning enigmatic expression. Makito squats down next to him, sets a hand firmly on top of Kai's head and rubs firmly. Kai is bewildered, but Makito speaks. "Kai, get strong." Kai is embarrassed and moves to brush Makito's hand off. "What are you saying so suddenly?" he half chuckles. Houka whines too, that she doesn't get what he means. Makito chuckles and stands up. "Yeah, that's right," he notes, looking around at them. Then he explains, "The truth is, that's what Father said." Kai's eyes go wide and he asks, "Dad?" When Makito confirms with a sound, Urara also stands and notes that she doesn't really remember their father. He was hardly ever home. Tsubasa notes it's because they were still very small then. Kai wriggles and asks hopefully, "Please tell me more about Father!" Makito is quite willing.

Once upon a time, he'd been into baseball. And there he'd been, sitting on the sidelines, watching as other kids hit the ball. His adult voiceover tells us this was one of the rare times his father returned home. And his father had come to him while he waited miserably as other kids played. Tall, white slacks, brown shirts and dark leather vest. Man's silver watch on his left wrist. Makito had been startled to find his father standing behind him, and also enraged that he would come at this point. Makito yanked his cap off and slammed it onto the ground. "I'm gonna quit baseball!" he snarled, always the fiery temper. His father reached down, picked up the cap. "And when I said that, Father said this." His father put the cap back on him, "Makito, become strong." *cough**cough* It does sound like Wolzard's voice, yes it does, lending creedance to what we've though all along. All we see is his face beneath his nose. Makito relates the power and the kindness of his father to his listening baby brother. "Become strong," echoes Kai, entranced. "Right!" he announces gleefully and bounce to his feet. "I get it, big bro!" And he babbles on about greater levels, and Makito starts stuttering, for it seems he hadn't meant the same thing Kai thinks. Kai goes on, "I'm gonna keep practicing, and become stronger!" Makito raises his voice, "No, that's not it. That's not the meaning of Father's wor- " he is cut off mid-word by the call of the Magiphone. They check it. There's a monster up as Tsubasa notes and Kai leads the charge away. Makito calls after him, wanting to explain but it's too late.

From Vankyuria's hand, Mold sends its spores, the green cloud bathes walking innocents as she laughs. People collapse in agony on the streets. Vankyuria flies overhead, spreading the deadly poison. She lands with a grunt, and hears her name called. Whirling around, she sees the rushing Magiranger. Kai's still at the heart, yelling "What are you doing?!" Vankyuria utters a contemptuous snort and pretends to ignore them. Kai gleefully says he's becoming stronger to Makito and charges ahead. Tsubasa shouts the words the others are thinking, "Wait, hey!" Kai races towards Vankyuria who, amused, raises Mold and sends his spores towards the approaching boy. Kai is running straight into the cloud unable to turn. "Look out!" Makito cries and leaps. He grabs Kai just before the cloud touches his skin and yanks his brother to safety the opposite direction. Thus it is Makito who ends up engulfed. He cries out in agony and bats at the cloud. Kai gasps and cries out. The others tear forward as Makito falls. Green crusts his left hand and climbs up his neck, he sees this and shouts in terror. Mushrooms start to sprout. The others almost reach him when Magishine calls frantically, "Wait!" He arrives in armor, leaping between them and Makito. "You can't touch him!" he says urgently. He whirls with the Barrier card and calls the command. The magic bathes Makito in its glow, stopping the spread of the mold and rendering him unconscious. The others leap forward, but Magishine frantically holds them back. Oddly, he doesn't have to touch Kai. "Not yet!" Tsubasa asks frantically, "What's happening to my big brother?" "We can talk after! Hurry up and transform!" Magishine tells them. Houka starts to plead but he urges them to hurry. The four obey, and once in their armor he lets them go. Houka and Urara frantically touch their big brother. Kai demands explanation. He identifies the ball in Vankyuria's hands as Mold. "Meikinju?" echoes Tsubasa. He explains that it is an ancient weapon of murder for the Infershia. He explains a little more, and Vankyuria is amused and snorts at his anxiety. And they realize, Houka noting with horror, that this Mold has hold of their brother. Makito's breathing rattles as Magishine explains. The greatest danger is when Mold opens its eyes. For everything it has touched, Vankyuria clarifies cheerfully, will be destroyed. The Magiranger panic over their injured brother while Vankyuria cackles and Kai begs what they can do. Magishine confirms there is one thing. Stop it before Mold opens its eye. Kai is all for that, tired of the talking he starts to charge when blasts hit around them. He is staggered and falls, and familiar feet land on the cement. "Kai-chan!" yelps one of the sisters. Wolzard has arrived. "You're growth has been extreme, five little Magi," he comments with pleasure. "Show me the Legendary Power." He implies that's the only way they'll solve this plight. He cocks his head to indicate Makito. Vankyuria tells them there is only an hour before Mold's eye opens, and passes the green ball into Wolzard's hand. "This'll be fun!" she says gleefully. Kai goes at Wolzard with a cry of rage, frantically slashing with his blade. Wolzard easily avoids being struck and meets the blade with his shield. He kicks Kai in the gut and then body-slams him with the shield. Kai is knocked on his back into the company of his siblings and Magishine, who moves protectively between them and Wolzard. Sounding halfway disappointed, Wolzard notes that they are still helpless before the power of darkness. He and Vankyuria vanish with Mold. "Wait!" Kai screams and tries to charge through Magishine, who holds him back. Magishine says urgently, "You have to get Makito to Lunagel!" "BUT - !" Kai cries and Magishine answers with his name. Sense gains a foothold, Kai turns to see his brother, crusted over with fungus and breathing raggedly, sweat beading his forehead. "Ruma gon garujina," Lunagel's voice inside the Ozu household speaks. A sparkle of magic over the bodies of the four Ozu siblings, they utter little gasps. "This is immunization magic," she explains. And now they don't have to worry about the Mold any longer. But... Makito is already infected. Hikaru hangs miserably over the sickbed Makito lies in and says that his magic has only slowed the process. Houka utters an anguished, "Is he going to die?!" Kai chokes on that understanding. Urara sinks down. Tsubasa bites his tongue and checks his Magiphone, reminding them of the time limit Vankyuria had mentioned. And out there the city is being drenched in Mold's spores. There're only thirty-five minutes left. And the buildings are turning green. "This is terrible!" cries Mandora-boy. He and Smoky in the Magilamp hover in front of the mirror, where skyscrapers show sickly green. They hurtle back to look askance at the heroes. Lunagel steps forward, "Let's go, Sungel. There's no time." He agrees without hesitation. They are going to treat the city as best they can. He needs the others to take care of Mold. Kai leans down as the two Saints leave. "Makito-nichan, you wait okay? We're going to get stronger magic! And for that we'll fight Wolzard!"

Out to the popular spot, where the waves break against great stones, the edge of the ocean. The four Magiranger race over the rocks in their armor and Kai shouts, "Wolzard! Come out!" They look around anxiously. "Give it to us!" And a great magic circle appears in the water. Wolzard rises from it and settles on the stones. The girls gasp. Wolzard utters a contemptuous snorts and pulls Mold out from behind his shield. "I'm not interested in the five of you." Kai snarls in response, "Shut up! Brother doesn't have time! We'll fight you, and destroy the Mold!" The four call down their Legend power, which pleases Wolzard no end. "Ah, the new power. Let's do it!" He draws his blade and challenges the four.

Above the city on Scarpet, Sungel and Lunagel use their respective magics to retard the spread of the Mold. For most people it is too late to do more than let them sleep through it. Lunagel's hand is on Sungel's shoulder. She asks anxiously, "Will the kids be all right?" He sort of smiles up at her through the wind whipping his hair. "They'll be fine. They are Bragel's children, after all." Lunagel nods agreement, though her eyes are still dark with worry.

Kai dials in a 1 and attacks. The firebolt is scattered by Wolzard's shield without even staggering him. He seems less than impressed with all the yelling/fighting spirit. Kai is startled to see him unaffected, and not prepared when Wolzard counters with his electric wolfs' heads. Tsubasa strikes with his Dialrod, but Wolzard blocks easily and slashes him back and away. The girls dial in 1 and attack together. The whirling water sport flies at Wolzard, who meets it with his shield and easily negates it. The four siblings gather, the boys in pain from their recent experience. Wolzard calls up a lightning storm of his own, black magic he slashes at them and the four are painfully knocked away. Urara notes that the Legend Power isn't helping them fight. Kai staggers to his feet, snarling that he isn't out yet and he's going to become stronger. He makes his way into a clear shot at the waiting Wolzard, whirls his Dialrod and slams it against the ground, sending a powerful fireblast at the enemy. Wolzard braces himself with the shield and, after the blast hits, leaps through it at Kai. A few vicious swipes with his blade and Kai tumbles in agony.

Makito, shivering with shock, is being tended by Smoky, who places a damp towel on his forehead. Mandora-boy on the other side whimpers, "Makito-chin!" And within Makito's feverish head, the memory of his father stays and speaks. "Makito, become strong." "You're late," young Makito had replied, lower-lip puffed out. He moved away from his father, from the comforting hand on the cap replaced on his head. "I kept trying and trying, and couldn't do it." His father's voice, WOLZARD'S voice, is warm and comforting, "Makito, there is still something you can do." Interested, Makito turns and asks, "Can do?" His father's features are black with the sun behind his head. Two eyes, one nose, one mouth. "Mm," his father had confirmed. To that memory, Makito wakes, eyes stinging. He starts to sit up, which only sends fresh agony tearing through his body and he screams. "Makito-chin!" wails Mandora-boy. Smoky acts to hold him down. "Oldest brother!" he says urgently. And in the scrying mirror there is the sound of an explosion. They can see the other four being blasted, hear their screams as they fall. Makito twists and gasps, starts struggling to get up. Mandora-boy pleads with him to stop. Smoky, also demands he stop. But Makito, eyes wild, says firmly, "There is still something I can do!" He rolls out of bed, Smoky and Mandora-boy stunned and amazed. He falls on his knees before he gets more than a step. But he gasps out, "Wait... everyone." And he forces himself up.

They are still getting hit by explosions. Down they fall, and this time upon landing find they are returned to their regular armor. "The Legend form!" protests Houka. Tsubasa gasps something out about Hikaru's magic. Wolzard, seeming more than a little amused by all this, sheathes his blade as they pant and struggle. He pulsl out Mold, whose eye is slightly open, and sneers they'll need the legendary power to get this. Urara pants out that the eye is starting to open. There are only five minutes left! Kai staggers to his feet and snarls, "Not yet!" He staggers towards Wolzard. He builds up to a run, which does him no good when he meets only the shield with his blade and is slammed back with contemptuous ease again. He turns to find Wolzard's blade at his throat. "This is as far as it gets," comments Wolzard. Houka cries out Kai's name. Wolzard comments on how weak they are, and how they might as well go to join their mother. He raises his hand to deliver a killing strike. The blade comes down at a cringing Kai's neck. The other three shriek, but a length of vine whips through the air and stays the blade. Wolzard is startled. Kai takes quick advantage of the chance to slash the blade away from him and get in a strike to his enemy's vulnerable stomach. Wolzard staggers back as Kai rolls out of danger. "It's gotta be!" gasps Kai and turns with the others to look. Makito stands at the edge of the rocks, holding himself up with a looooong pole, his Magiphone held out. "Guys!" he cries. "Makito-nichan!" gasps Kai. Houka also gasps, "What are you doing here in your condition?!" Urara adds, "Leave this to us!" Tsubasa worries, "You can't fight yet!" Makito opens his hand, the one that is not covered in mold, lets loose a roll of gren fabric and gasps, "No, I came because there is still something I can do!" And he ties the bandana around his forehead. He asks the grass and trees for strength, opening his Magiphone. "Jiruma, Magika!" he cries. And the green responds, whirling power and substance to his call. The staff he holds elongates further, to hold an enormous green banner with the Magiranger M emblazoned upon it. They gasp as he heaves it up. "Guys! Keep going!" he cries. "Kai, everyone! That was what I was trying to tell you! The important thing is the strength of your heart!" And he clarifies, "That what father said! What 'become strong' meant! Not that you get big, get good at baseball," he says, echoing what their father had said so long ago, "Not that you become powerful wizards! That you become people of stronger heart!" "Makito-onichan!" gasps Kai. And is that what he'd come for? "Father told me, there was one thing I could do!" He could become the cheering section for his team, urging them all on to victory. Waving the banner he'd made to give them courage. Gambare Gang!" on the flag. "Right now I can't transform... I can't fight! But I can do this and tell you, you CAN do it!" and his call as he waves the enormous flag and calls them each by name. Wolzard is listening to all this with a complete lack of comprehension. "What meaning can that have?" he sneers. His voice attracts the sharp attention of the four fighting Magiranger. "What meaning can it?" Kai paraphrases with contempt. "Wolzard!" Tsubasa snarls, "You can't possibly understand!" The girls can agree that they are getting strength from Makito's passionate support. "He's giving us courage!" Kai shouts gleefully. "What?" puzzles Wolzard. The four get up and summon back the Legend forms, Kai thanking Makito for the courage. He nods as they charge Wolzard, who blasts them with the wolves' heads only to be shocked when that has no effect. Kai fights him, and this time the strikes are powerful and effective. He is certain, and so are the girls. Thunder Crash from Tsubasa staggers an indignant Wolzard, and he is further struck hard by Kai's firebolt. And he is impressed as he regains breath and balance with their suddenly effective use of their power. The four dial in 2 and touch the ends of their Dialrods together to fire a powerful Magi Bolt on him. He seems shocked, I tell you! He gasps before they call out, "Legend Finish!" The bolt of sheer power coming at him is tremendous. He falls, and Mold drops into the blazing sand in front of him. The eye was almost open, but now Mold bursts apart. And, with its destruction, the spores vanish from the city. Afflicted people wake to find themselves fine, and gets up, confused and relieved.

Flying above the city with Sungel, Lunagel smiles with proud relief and says, "They did it. All of them." He nods and utters an agreeing noise, too happy for words.

Makito, too, is clear now and delighted, as his siblings gather to thank him. He pulls off his headband and calls for the change into Legend form. Wolzard bounces back to his feet and it delighted to find all five of them in the running. He seems no worse for the wear. And he wants them to show their new power. So he calls for his formation, Wolkaiser. The kids oblige, Makito saying "Magi Legend!" He and the other three dial in 4, to form themselves into Magi Lion "Maaji jiruma goru go goru!" and Kai dials three to transform himself into Magifirebird. "Maagi goru majuru!" Flaming wings cut the air, the mountain rises under Magilion who runs through the fiery hoops provided by Magifirebird, "Magi Jiruma Gojin Majin!" as they form together. A fine, aching beauty, MagiLegend. They call out, "Let's go, WolKaiser!" He obliges happily. They are able to fight him back and strike, staggering him. They call in their weapon, he calls in his. Fire Tornado against the Darkness magic. Their blast pushes through his, hitting him hard. He is staggered back and driven to one knee. Kai is singing with joy that they are now more powerful than Wolkaiser. But Makito hesitates to say that for certain. As he starts to caution, a new power rains down upon them. The Dialrods glow. Urara notes that the courage Makito showed and the memory of what their father had taught him has summoned a new spell. And they reconfigure, to use it through him. "Maji Jiruma Goru Gojika!" They start charging at Wolkaiser, who stands to meet them. Bolts of fire fly from their chest in all directions. Wings of flame rise behind their shoulders. The bolts make him dance as they hit at his feet. He responds with wolves' heads attacks, the violet-white bolts fly. They are defended against those. They slash with their staff, Wolkaiser is hit hard and he falls, losing hold of his own weapon. Kai crows delight and starts to make another strike, when pain and feedback ripples through Magi Legend. They stagger, red lightning crackling in their souls. Wolkaise sits up to get a view of his staggering opponent. He utters a grunt of incomprehension as their staff falls to the ground. And then, vicious red mold starts to climb their legs. "What's going on?!" cries Makito. Tsubasa identifies the mold as it spreads on their bodies. Houka gasps that Mold was already... but then they hear Meemy cackling gleefully. He's come up from Hades to gloat. "Meemy?" gasps Kai. Meemy explains he'd done something special. He had, I guess, made sure Mold was still able to infect. And infect it has. Magi Legend topples. The red mold has reached its waist and climbs the chest. Laughing, Meemy turns and calls upon Wolzard to deliver the finishing blow. Wolkaiser gets to his feet with a grunt and marches towards Magi Legend, blade out. Unable to move, they still try in the cockpit lit red with poison. Is this it, wonders Makito. Wolkaiser stands above them and draws back his blade. They cringe awaiting the death-blow. "Zanda Uru Ugira!" (or something) he says, and N-Ma's eye in his chest glows. And the evil red mold is sucked into it Off of them, freeing Magi Legend. Stunned in the shining clarity of their souls, the Magiranger gape. So does Meemy. He stutters, "Wh- what are you up to?!" Wolkaiser whips around with a stern, "Meemy!" and a stern lecture about foolishness and scolding about useless acts. Meemy nearly has a fit, but in frustration can only return to Hades.

"What ARE you up to, Wolzard?" a confused Kai calls from Magi Legend. They are fine and are getting back to their feet, thanks to him. He turns back to them. "He got in the way," he explains, "of today's match." Kai utters a little gasp and Magi Legend takes an uncertain step. "Five little Magi," he suddenly says passionately, "Grow strong." All of them are stunned when he says that. But without further battle, he turns from them and vanishes, back to Hades. "Uza Ujira." They move towards where he was, confusion writ in the way they reach for him. Kai gasps, "Grow strong... from him?" Makito utters a stunned, "Same words as Father." Kai breaks out of it, hissing a protest. They have to be focused. "He's our enemy! He's MOTHER'S enemy!" he points out firmly as Makito stares at him. But still, Magi Legend reflects their uncertaintly in stance.

Down at the bottom of Hades, Meemy is furious. He whirls on the returned Wolzard. "What was that all about, Wolzard!!" he snaps, stalking towards him. Nearly screeching he continues, "We had a chance to destroy them and YOU saved them!" Wolzard doesn't seem to be paying attention and then... then he utters a grunt of pain. His vision flashes red, then he sees the sky, blue with a faint brushing of clouds and endless around him. He falls to one knee as the vision ends. He says something raggedly about it, and Meemy staggers a step back in sudden fright and asks, "You... could be...?!" he daren't finish the question. Nai and Mea watch with a total lack of comprehension, cocking their heads and uttering quizzical noises. Wolzard notes unsteadily either pain or question, for what's happening? He is quite confused.

Mandora-boy introduces today's spell! Maaji Jiruma Goru Gojika! The new magic for the kids, agrees Smoky. "Hey, Smo-chin!" calls Mandora-boy frantically. "Yeah?" "If we don't get you in the tub right away, you're gonna get moldy!" An arrow appears to make sure we don't miss the line of green mold under Smoky's collar. As Smoky is protesting, Makito arrives in an environmental suit and gas mask, in a war against mold! Smoky shrieks in terror, and Mandora-boy snickers into his leaf-hands.

Stage. 33 �C���t�F���V�A�ց@�`�}�[�W�E�S���E�}�W�J�`�@Infershia e Ma-ji Goru Majika To Infershia!
Memory, or history? Sungel in his er... true form faces Raigel (who became Meemy later), and Lunagel is there. The Legend Magiranger are somewhere, grass green and brown and trees behind them. Wolzard is there demanding of them about Infershia. In the Magiroom, the two senior saints are in serious discussion with the five siblings. And is the demon of the day this blue, purple white-faces creatures with vicious fangs drenched as it were in blood? eeeeew. A battle between Raigel and Lunagel, long ago. And the five Magiranger hang by their wrists from cords down at the bottom of Hades. Oh dear. Well, this is gonna be fun! Meemy thinks so, anyway, he's dancing for joy. Kai, bathed in the red light of Lord N Ma's manifestation, is shaking with determination and pain. "I'm Father's - Bragel's son!" he screams. We see what is presumably Bragel's face. Red fire up in two horns, magnificent black ears... golden eyes... okay, it could be an Infershia monster. But I think it's Bragel as we see this fellow set upon by Zobiru and High Zobiru in blackness. Raigel also fights them... oooh. And so does Lunagel! Oh, this has GOT to be flashbacks to fifteen or so years ago! Before Raigel revealed his true colors! The three of them are fighting, surrounded, and Yeti is there!
