NIGHTFORCE RANGERS
CHAPTER 1. A NEW ALLY AND A SOULMATE
Damon Salvatore had been watching the new girl for a while. She was a newcomer to the Nightworld she seemed to be an outcast no one ever spoke to her. Elektra knew she was being watched she was 21 years old but looked 15 she was 5ft 1, she had short bronzeish colored hair, her eyes were bright blue and her skin was pale she was of Irish decent. Elektra was a born vampire but only 1/4th born vampire she was mostly human but she also was something else too she was a shapeshifter. She looked about and her gaze met Damon's he was attractive but would he ever want a tripling like her? He came over in his languid black panther grace. Elektra watched as he moved his movement was silent and predatory. "You seem lost signorina." He observed adding some of his Italian language. "Not lost I'm just not used to this world yet. My name's Elektra Arach. I've heard your's it's Damon Salvatore isn't it?" She asked. Damon lowered his eyelids in an attempt to win her over something about her attracted him she had a long thin scar on the right side of her face from behind her eye to her throat that made her even more alluring. "It is. Nice to know I'm well known. I would like to know more about you." He said in a seductive voice. For some reason she didn't seem to pick up on this nor the fact that his face had a laconic expression. "You'd like to know more about me? No one in this Nightworld even wants to be around me. I'm an outcast. It would be nice to have a friend though." She replied. Her voice seemed to have a monotonus quality. "I like those who are different come now your oddity can't be all that bad. Why not come and talk with me." Damon said. "All right but I should warn you I'm not good with people. I have asperger's, but I'm really lonely." She replied. He should've guessed from her trouble with his nonverbal expressions that she had this type of disability but it didn't bother him. All of a sudden a couple of thugs came in. "There she is! Lord Ryu wants her alive. Thought you could escape us did you Elektra?" one of the men said. Two of them became tigermen, one became a griffin/human cross, another a green dragon spawn and the one who had spoken became a black dragon spawn. Elektra knew her alternate form was no good in these quarters but she could use her more unique power. "Bronze Dragon Spirit bond!" She called out. Her body glowed and was covered in bronze colored body armor she looked like a the Yellow Dactyl Ranger from Power Rangers DinoThunder only Elektra's armorwas bronze and had abronze dragon design on the helmet and belt. She drew out her dragon sword which was bronze and sparkled with electricity. Damon was amazed he'd never seen a Nightworlder with this kind of power before. One of the tigers lunged at her but she was faster she came down and delevered a powerful kick to the tigerman's chest and knocked him out. The griffinman and green dragon spawn attacked but Elektra was ready for them she took out a sai and threw it at the griffinman, the sai stabbed him in the chest and electricity zapped his body he fell to the ground and demorphed as he died. The green spawn let out a chlorine gas attack but Elektra countered with her own electric breath and slew that enemy too. The black spawn knew he was outpowered. "You've won but Lord Ryu swears you and your ancestors shall pay for the death of his father!" The black dragon spawn hissed. With that he turned and ran away.
Elektra's armor disappeared and she was in her normal form again. "Who were they? Friends of yours?" Damon asked. "Long ago and evil dragon named Griffin threatened to enslave the world. He was killed by my ancestor Drake the scion of Draco a great bronze dragon. Now Griffin's son Ryu has sworn revenge on my family and all who oppose him. I was given the gift to call upon my bronze dragon ancestor's spirits and in turn they give me the power to use that armor. I now need a team to help me correct Ryu's wrong. I know it's not your thing but I believe I can trust you. Damon will you help me fight this threat not just to the world of humans or the Night world but the very universe itself?" Elektra asked after explaining. "I'd do anything for a fem of your quality. How can I help?" Damon asked. "Take this black crystal it will allow you to call upon the same powers I have. You will become a black ranger. However this is not the time or place to test it. I suggest we move elsewhere before my welcome is worn out." Elektra said giving him what looked like a black crystal on a silver pendant neckless. "As you wish." Damon replied. The more he learned about this lamia/ human/ dragon hybrid the more he seemed attracted to her and not just her body. Could she possibly be his soul mate that everyone in this Night World talked about?
She took one of her two other animal forms that were from her Lamia side. She took the form of a red tailed hawk and flew off. Damon morphed crow and followed her. They landed in a clearing and demorphed. "Now how do I activate my armor?" Damon asked. "You must call out the animal that is your spirit guardian. My mother told me that I would find ten allies with this power each with their own animal spirit. Your's is the black panther." Elektra explained. " Black Panther Spirit Bond!" Damon called out. His body glowed and was covered in armor like Elektra's only black. His armor is The Black Ranger's armor from the first season of Power Rangers only his helmet and belt emblem is a black panther instead of a mastodon. "I thought I was powerful before but now I seem to have limitless energy. What else can I do?" Damon asked. "The best way to find out is by testing and learning your Spirit Gaurdian's powers. I can't explain to you how it will just come to you when you need it." Elektra explained. Damon transformed back into his normal self. "Hey where you going?" He asked. "I'm going home. My mother and family are probably starting to wonder where I've gotten to. You can come along. They'll need to meet you sooner or later you being my new boyfriend and all." Elektra replied. "You mean?" Damon asked with some happiness. "Yes you're my soulmate Damon. Darco's spirit guided me to you." Elektra said gently. She came over to him and the two embraced gently. And Damon kissed her tenderly on her mouth. It was different then any other the other girls he'd kissed he'd just been toying with or luring to be a meal but this one he felt a bond to this strange girl. A feeling that made him want to protect her from this evil she'd told him about, though he was evil himself this Ryu guy sounded like real bad news and he didn't want Elektra to get hurt. They broke the kiss and headed to Elektra's home in The Santa Ana Foothills.
Little did they know another one of the chosen guardians Elektra had talked about was watching them. Watching them with blue eyes that were like the core of a gas flame. This gaurdian hadn't seen Elektra before but he knew one of her relatives in this area. Was his first and only love. Julian was back and he'd be reunited with Jenny in a way he would never himself even have thought of in a thousand years.
