	Shortly after Xenilla joined with the rangers, Ghidorah's forces were outclassed in almost every field. With little options left, Ghidorah sent a mutant who could rival Xenilla's powers, Obsidious. Or at least, he thought Obsidious could. Xenilla and the rangers had him on the ropes almost immediately. Xen approached their opponent with an offer, "Stand down Obsidious, and we will spare your life. This is your first and last warning. Please, don't do something we'll both regret.". Obsidious only defiantly roared his reply, "Surrender?! To you?! Never! I'll prove I'm stronger than you! THIS IS THE END XENILLA! I AM THE STRONGEST CRYSTAL MASTER!"
Before he could even land a hit, Obsidious soon fell to his knees catching Xenilla sheathing his crystal saber out of the corner of his eye. "I'm sorry it had to come to this...", Xenilla said as Obsidious exploded.

Ghidorah was furious, "Don't bother with a potion bomb! After all the others defeats the kaiju rangers have dealt me, it makes little difference reviving that useless pile of rocks!"

Belvera took note of her master's foul mood, and an idea came to her. "My lord, I believe I have a solution to your ranger problem." 

"Explain." 

"The Mothra ranger seems to be the brains of the bunch. If we can remove her, the rangers will fall. Victory will be yours at last!". 

Ghidorah cracked a sinister grin, " Yes, and I know the two monsters for the job. Daghara and Hedorah are walking slabs of pollution. I shall send them to contaminate the city's water supply. This should prove to be excellent bait, for my trap! HAHAHA!"

Soon enough, Daghara and Hedorah arrived at the city's water supply plant. "So Ghidorah wants us to pollute the water huh? Well my main muck-man, let's start this party!" Hedorah only gurgled in response. It wasn't long before the rangers arrived on the scene. 

Rodan was not only disgusted with their enemy's appearance, but their smell too, "Ugh! What dumpster did these creeps crawl out of? They reek!" 

"Joking aside Rodan, we can't let them infect the water!", Junior said as he readied his blaster. Junior first engaged Hedorah, but something unexpected happened when he fired at the walking pile of sludge. Hedorah nearly vaporized on impact of the blast! Namely because of the unstable toxic chemicals that made up his body.

Daghara was enraged and went over to what was left of his partner, "Don't worry pal, I'll absorb your essence into my body. We will become one!" As Daghara absorbed Hedorah's pieces, his from shifted into an even more gruesome sight, "We are Daghadorah! And we shall destroy the divine moth!". All of the rangers except Lea were clueless as to what he meant, but they wouldn't have time to figure it out. Daghadorah prepared his ultimate attack, and fired a swarm of red starfish-like creatures at the rangers, but luckily, Lea was able to form a barrier to shield them. However, there was no end in sight of the blitz of projectiles. As the barrier began to break, Lea pushed the other rangers back and took the full force of the barrage. 

Junior could only scream in horror, "LEAAA!"

The rangers instantly teleported back to the command center, startling Sunset and her friends with sight before them. Twilight was the first one to rush to Lea's side, "What happened to her? It looks like these red starfish are draining her energy!". 

Xenilla then attempted to remedy the disaster, "Everybody stand back! I'm going to try using one of my healing crystals!", Xenilla then pulled out a blue crystal and placed on Lea. A flash of blue light went off as the crystal's healing energies were put to use, but it was a vain effort. Xen's crystal had no effect on Lea's condition at all, "Why isn't this working?! This has never happened in all the times I've used this technique!".

Mothra soon stepped in, "Calm down Xenilla. Lea's affliction can only be cured by another of the divine moth lineage, like myself. Sadly, I don't have enough energy to cast the spell. But...there is another way."

Junior steeled himself, "Whatever it is, do it. Please, we'll do anything as long as it means we can save her." 

"You can count us in too!", Twilight shouted. 

Mothra smiled, "Thank you all for your resolve, but only I shall be needed for this. Before he passed, Lea's father, Battra, gave his energy to her shortly after she was born. Because it was so great, I put locks on Lea's full power to keep it at a stable level. If I release the lock now, the energy should just be able to heal Lea! I can activate the spell, but once I cast it the rest is up to my daughter."

After Mothra cast the spell, Lea's mind soon drifted into a strange place. "Where...where am I?", Lea thought out loud as she took in her new surroundings. After a while, Lea soon felt a presence she had felt, yet not felt before, "Who's there?", she asked. 

A voice responded, "Lea, my daughter! You've no idea how much I've missed you!". 

Lea struggled to hold back her tears, "Dad! Is it really you? I can't believe it! I've missed you so much! But, how am I here?"

Battra hugged his daughter tightly, "You were poisoned by a monster that shot you with parasitic projectiles that are draining your energy. But you can beat this! My energy burns within you! I have been guarding it until the time was right for you to use it, and that time is now! Set it free, and you will not only be healed, but you will gain strength beyond any of our lineage!". 

Lea's gaze hardened with determination, "I accept your gift father! I swear to use it to defend our home with all my power!", Lea shouted.

Back at the command center, Lea's body started to glow in a rainbow of light. Soon enough, a bright flash went off, and Lea was standing after it faded. However, her morpher seemed to fade out of existence, and  rainbow colored butterfly-like wings materialized on her back. Next, armor started to from on her body, but left her face exposed. Everyone's mouths were wide open with awe at the radiant sight before them. So everyone,", Lea quipped, "What do you think of my new look? " 

"It's absolutely gorgeous!", Rarity squealed. 

Lea simply smiled, "Glad I could leave most of you speechless, but I've got some payback to dish out against that living slab of trash that tried to take me out! See you guys in a couple minutes!", Lea called out as she flew off towards Daghadorah.

Daghadorah was picking up where left off until a familiar voice called out, "Hi there ugly! Ya miss me?", Lea chirped pleasantly. Daghadorah had no idea how Lea had healed so fast, and he didn't care! All he knew was that he had to destroy her! He fired off a barrage of his parasitic starfish, hoping to again infect her. Unfortunately, Lea was too fast for him to get a lock on her. Lea then charged up a blast of energy with her hands, "I'm ending this fight now! PRISM RAY BLAST!",Lea cried as she unleashed a blast of rainbow colored energy at Daghadorah, causing him to explode!

Ghidorah scowled at the defeat of his latest minion, and barked an order to Belvera, "Fire that potion bomb! I was this close to victory! I will not be denied now!". Belvera then fired the bomb, and Daghadorah soon grew to gigantic size. 

Lea only smiled in the face of the massive monstrosity, "Time for a test drive! Let's see what my shiny new megazord can do!". Lea's megazord materialized in a flash of light, strongly resembling Lea's new armor. As Daghadroah charged toward her, Lea countered with a kick so strong it launched him into the air. Lea then readied the megazord's main weapon, a blaster cannon pistol that promptly began charging. "Take this! Divine Seal Shot!", Lea shouted as she fired a rainbow colored blast that destroyed Daghadorah on impact. 

Back at the command center, as the others celebrated Lea's victory, Mothra was giving off a proud smile, "My little Lele, you've grown so strong.", she quietly whispered as Lea was greeted by her friends.
