Heroes and Heirs
For Centuries the Vertex Predators known as a rogue gang of hunters traversed the galaxy in order to satisfy the hatred and driven ego of Shadow Grim. What stands in his way of sheer pleasure are a group of fearless warriors called the Beast Legion. Warriors for the prey, the Beast Legion had fought back through Link Cubes that would connect their world of Eden to all known worlds.
Shadow Grim was intrigued by their unique ways of defense but was amused by their lack of strength after defeating the Warriors multiple times from multiple worlds.
Managing to erase the existence of 99 different species of planets, the Vertex Predators have set a course for earth. The hunters assumed the earth was a docil planet, but little did they know when ever the earth was caught with danger there was also a band of heroes to stop them.

The city of Willowdale, a peaceful metropolis and the home to millions of civilians of all cultures, coming together to live in harmony.
Every year the city will hold annual triathlons, where competitors compete in the different types events such as Base Jumping, Rock Climbing, and Swimming. Just one day remained before the most anticipated event of the season and in preparations, the contestants would always meet and train at the Willowdale recreation Complex.
"Excuse me! Sorry!" Rushing through the cluster of people, a young male dodges the crowd as he runs through the complex halls. His height roughly 5'10, with medium length dark hair and a medium fair skin tone to his face. Dressed in a red jumpsuit and carrying a slim lightweight bag on his back, he weaved through the crowds, waving to others along the way. Arriving on time was his weakness and his name was Neil Akira.
The days of his childhood were an embark of his future, becoming fascinated with the dream of flying. The idea of freedom and weightlessness of the sky was also the matter of contention for his Mom. Looking up, he could see her and missed her through his clouded thoughts of mind unaware of the person passing in front of him.
Wham! In attempts to avoid collisions, he ended up meeting his shoulder to another person who fell back from the impact.
"I'm sorry, are you alright?" Neil apologized with a prettified looked on his face when he bumped into a female with dark brown wavy hair and about 6 inches shorter than him as he lent her a hand. She refused his assistance as she lifted herself off the floor, with her hair drench in water as her brown eyes looked to his. "You're fine, just look where you're heading next time."
"Right," Neil nodded, "Sorry about that again, but I gotta go. I'm supposed to be somewhere."
"You're training for the triathlon?" The girl had asked Neil before he could make his leave.
The red jumpsuit must of spoiled it, but not entirely, "I'm not actually, I'm just interested in the Base jumping class," Neil replied.
"Base jumping? What makes you think jumping from high places is fun? If it were up to me, I much rather stay in places where it's wet like an ocean or lake, that's where the real action is," The girl said.
"To each their own I guess. You should come check it out one day, " Neil said as she shrugged. "No I'm okay, I'm going to be pretty busy with better stuff."
"Uh, okay. Well, I gotta go, sorry again." As Neil turned the girl was met with another delay to a cracked silver cube, slipping between her wet toes as she picked it up and into her hands.
"Oh hey, you dropped your speaker!...thing," The girl held the cube with curiosity as Neil whirled back around and approached the girl once again.
"Thanks again, I don't know where I would have been if I would have forgotten this. What's your name again?"
"Natalia," The girl crossed her arms against her blue and black spandex swimsuit.
"Thanks again, Natalia." A wink was his last goodbye to Natalia.
Such a strange and jolly guy and pretty darn charming to go with his corny attitude.
"Who was that guy?" A dark-skinned arm was then wrapped around her shoulder as she elbowed the male who invaded her space. "Again, don't touch me, Leon. How many times do we have to go over this?"
"I recall you stating not to put a finger on you, a different concept for touching in general." He winced.
"That doesn't even make sense," She rolled her eyes, pushing him out of her way.
"You know, the hitting, it's getting a bit out of hand. In this time of life that's called Child abuse." That elbow to the stomach did hurt and Natalia didn't seem guilty about it.
"Next time keep your hands off of me and maybe we wouldn't have this problem."
"ME?! I'm not the one with the problem. That's the thing about you, you never realize the word called friends. I was merely being kind."
"Right..." Leon's stupidity was enough to make her leave. Brushing off Natalia's unappreciative behavior, Leon turned to reach his quarters. The rock climbing tournament isn't going to be the same if he wasn't there until he looked below his feet. There he expected it to be the same spot Natalia once stood as he spotted a fallen crumpled 10 dollar on the tile floor, "Sweet, looks like Lunch is going to be on me."
Crouching down to pick up the bill a thumped pounded between the side of his shoulders, he too became a victim of people who paid no mind to their surroundings. This hallway was a death trap, anyone could get hurt as they rushed to get to their training on time. One guest, in particular, was so absorbed on his phone that he accidentally tripped over Leon's foot, not only that but someone also picked up the cash he was to grab.
"Hey man!" Leon yelled but both strangers totally ignored him as they continued to hurry off.
"Yeah, you better walk away! Man, always gotta be bumping into people, nobody these days don't know how to watch where they're going. Darn people."

How careless he was, to drop such an extraordinary object, the object he held close and dear to his heart, the object a strange talking birdman gave him. 15 years ago and just two days before his 7th birthday, Neil was presented with the cube he held so tightly onto. However when it was given, was a day of grief and heartache of his mother's death.
"Keep this with you at all times, it will protect you...when I can't." The Birdman had the voice of sincerity on that stormy night, Neil was all alone in the slumbering forest. Wishing he was to be found but his own foolishness had reached his ignorant actions, leaving the Birdman to save him from an attack of another unearthly creature as Neil jumped off a forbidden cliff.
He was thankful the Birdman was there when he was, but 2 days later on his birthday, he was gifted with the worst present anyone could imagine.
Maybe he should join the Triathlon after all-after all the past memories that had clouded his mind. It will be a day to remember his mother and a moment to show her that he was okay.

In the vacuum of a space, an unusual aircraft looms close to the planet Earth. The design of the aerial construct was rather unique, being that it resembled that of an archer's bow, with golden arched arms extending horizontally with a blue cord connecting them.
An arrow was also knocked which passed through the center of the bow frame which served as both the source of propulsion as well as the main control center.
In the heart of the ship, generals gathered, the main bridge clear of space with a circular pattern on the floor. Silver pillars rose from the ground in random areas around the room and sitting at the edge of the area, staring at the image of earth was a silver and gold statue statuary creature. His legs were hidden behind what appeared to be a long robe and that kept him anchored in place. Standing off to the right of the statue, stood a green and black female humanoid creature.
In the corner of the room, two creatures were playing a game of chess, one was a blue cubed monster and the other had jagged edges protruding from all over his body. Observing the match was a third creature with an oblong head and what looked to be some sort of shields on both his arms.
"Tell me Naria, how many worlds have we conquered?" The silver and gold creature asked.
"So far my lord we have conquered 99 planets, and when we take this one it shall be our 100th," the green female alien creature said.
"100? A nice round number, what a great way to go into retirement," The statue said. "Cubrawl, Scrabulous, Azarath get over here!"
The three male monsters kneel before their king.
"Lord Shadow Grim, we're at your service sire," Said Azarath; the oblong head monster.
"It's time we claim our prize. With the Beast Legion out of the way, our efforts should be uninterrupted. It's time to add Earth to my collection." The Statue creature' Shadow Grim said.
"Let me do it, sire. I'll be sure to sack this planet for all its got, it'll be yours in a matter of hours," the jagged-edged creature; Scabulous offered.
"As if," The cube monstered scoffed, "You were almost defeated at the last planet Shadow Grim conquered if I didn't come and save you."
"The beast Legion got the better of me, but this time it will be different and it was all because of you, my lord," Scabulous bowed.
"Very well, but you better not fail me this time because no one else will come to save you. Take whatever forces you need to get the job done," Shadow Grim demanded.
"As you command," Scabulous said as he walked toward the exit.
"Keep in mind Scabulous, this planet seems to be brimming with life so don't just go blasting up the place, try and capture some samples we can sell. If we are going to cease all operations after this, I prefer to live in luxury," the green alien; Naria informed the jagged beast.
"Yeah yeah, I'll be sure to bring you back your samples. No, worries I won't destroy everything, just the ugly and boring stuff," Scabulous said.
"GO Scabulous, before I change my mind," Shadow Grim said.
"Yes my Lord."

The 40 anniversary of the triathlons was held in the national park of Willowdale, Whale's peak. Mountains and lakes now became the cry of news because of its prudence of the wild, walking amongst the humans as if they were one of the same. Legend has it that a magical solid six-sided block is amongst the trees in that park. Some have believed it to be the induction with the peace between animal and man but other doubted the myth when no actual piece was official proven real.
Subsequently, the contenders would leave the complex for training outside and near the turf.
Now it was Neil turn, facing the plunge of a 300-meter dive. The goal was to over past the swimmers of the lake and land above the island beyond the platform. The winner against 3 others would be the greatest achievement as he pulled down his goggles as well as the other contestants.
Something he thought he wouldn't do, he joined as he and the others jumped off the cliff. Gliding above the wind as the eagles swarm past him, with the other competitors staying way behind. The breeze just felt wonderful along the way, and by the waves of the water, it was a great view as he looked down to the swimmers.
"What the heck is that?" One of the gliders shouted from behind, pointing in front of Neil as he looked forward. Floating in the sky, he spotted three overturned black and grey pyramids. Firing from the top, green lasers flew, aiming to the destroy the jumpers. Grunting to maneuver his glider to the left, Neil abstained his flight but one glider behind him took the blast as it punctures a hole in the glider's right wing. The glider plummeted downwards and into the waters while on the ground, they were forced to defend themselves as the contenders were attacked by what looked like blue synthetic fiber. Their squid incongruous face caused panic as the glider dropped into the water as the lasers from the pyramids caused the waves to shift so ruthless, sending the glider near the deep shallows of a raging river.
The streaks of the laser had the wind pushing a force of 60 miles per hours as Neil adjusted his posture to soar after the second jumper who was drifted for the rocks of the cliff. This feeling of the wind on his face brought the memories and thrill of his first time gliding, as he hugged his arms and legs close to his body allowing him to glide faster as he swoops in to catch the second glider.
After grabbing a hold of the jumpers arm, Neil pulls a cord from the backpack on his shoulders, triggering his emergency chute to activate as he begins to control his descent to the ground. While remaining in the air the sound of a splash accents off his ears, assuming it was the swimmers down below scurrying to get out of the water. However now on from the safety of land Neil searches frantically for the second jumper, but when he didn't see him he automatically assumed the worst.
Citizens screamed in terror as the three unknown pyramids continued to fly over the complex firing their lasers when he spotted the first jumper rushing through the current of waves as he passes by the swimmers and was engaging for the raging river.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"Everyone please remain calm, emergency response teams are on their way!" Announced a woman through the loudspeakers of the outdoors as more and more laser blasts struck the ground as the three more ships can be seen flying overhead. People in bathing suits and skin-tight jumpsuits were running and one of the people fleeing was the jumper that Neil saved.
Not that Natalia cared but where was he? If she could remember she did see him flying amongst the others when she recalled him saying he wasn't interested in the event, when just under the current of the river she heard yells of what was the other jumper. No one was there to help, it was just an empty territory as she watched him scream from inside the safety of the Willowdale complex.
"Leon stay here, I'll be right back!" She shouted over the chaos as she rushes out the door to Leon shouting from within the turmoil, "What do you mean you'll be right back?! Wait!"
"Natalia!" Leon screamed as he chased after his friend.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
As Neil made his way towards the pool he was blasted off his feet and as he turned to see what had tried to shoot him he saw blue skinned monsters with white boots and gloves and golden vests, covering their torso as their faces were repulsive with four white tendrils extending from their heads.
"What the?!" Neil said daunted by what he saw.
Marching with the blue-suited monsters was another creature with jagged edges extending from nearly every single visage and one of his arms was a powerful cannon.
"Go Death Stalkers, round up every unique creature you see!" The needle monster demanded. The blue-skinned creatures were drawing inches closer to Neil and he didn't know what to do as he crawled back from the outsiders, but before they could reach him they were all eliminated in one fell swoop.
"Who did that!?" The spiked creature yelled as he scanned his eyes around the field and standing on the cliff where Neil laid was a brown cloaked figure. What Neil wanted to do was say thank you to the mysterious hero but the figure was in no mood to talk as he swooped down the cliff and took on the Death Stalker footsoldiers head on. Neil couldn't believe his eyes once the figure landed on the ground because he was sure what he saw were feathers peaking out from the cloak as he had risen to his feet. Despite that, were the other civilians running for their lives as he looked below and there he saw Natalia racing through the water as she caught up to the first jumper Neil thought he lost and there was also another boy in the midst of the battle as he helped bring the other ones to safety.
Natalia was such a good swimmer, how she surged through the water like a shark and the other young man was just as savage as a lion when he protected the civilians by a punch from his fist. In seconds Natalia pulled the swimmer to safety and onto the mud of land as he coughed and wheezed but then Natalia was caught with a surprise of her own as a laser struck the river, creating a small tidal wave which pulled Natalia off of land and back into the raging river. She fought greatly to keep her hold on a fallen bark as other blast hit, forcing her grip to release as she was taken away.
Neil had to save her but his glider was broken as she went deeper into the forest. However, this called for precaution and he wasn't going to allow a broken glider to interrupt his attempt to swoop down the cliff just as the mysterious figure did as he raced with the help of the wind to save Natalia.
"Natalia!" Leon shouted as he also raced to save his friend, skipping as he pulled off one shoe and then the other, but the current was just too strong from his likings with him coming to a halt before the river, then shaking his head as he kept running on foot instead of jumping in the water.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
For the first time in Natalia's life she was drowning, the water was just sinking into her lungs as she fought to stay above the water. Yet at every flap and every huff, the water kept pouring in, unable to keep herself afloat, Natalia's body began to sink below the deep.
'So this is how it ends, death by drowning, a befitting end for a swimmer,' Natalia thought as she watched the light of the sun slowly vanish, but what happened next words could not explain. All Natalia could see with the blurriness of her eyes was the silhouette of a humanoid figure diving after her. Unable to see their face but she could tell they weren't fully human.
Natalia must have been hallucinating due to the lack of Oxygen in her brain because the figure appeared to be that of a humanoid shark. The being approached her, looping its arm around Natalia's waist and Natalia's hand around its neck.
"You will not die today, I have chosen you to fight in my stead," The voice said as a light-skinned hand pulled her out of the water. Natalia was not breathing when Neil caught up with her, forcing his pawns below her chest as he performed the mouthing procedure of C.P.R. Neil was not going to give up but Natalia wasn't giving him a sign of life after his 5th attempt to awaken her.
He thought all was lost as he brushed his wet hair away from his face to lips frowning when he wasn't able to save her, much as to his surprise when a glow appeared in her left hand and there Neil spotted the same cube he held as a child. To think he was the only one who had such a unique artifact, he reached in to grab the cube as his face drew closer to Natalia's face when she had awoken on with the compression of Neil's chest and mouth pressed onto hers as she coughed and wheezed.
"What the hell?!" Immediately she pulled up her defenses, slapping Neil away from her as he fell back. "Did you just kiss me?!"
"No!" Neil blanched back from the pain on his face, a wet slap made it more painful as he rubbed his cheek, checking if there wasn't any blood. "I was trying to save your life!"
"Sure you were!" She said as she sat up, "And take your stupid cube, I don't want it!"
"That's not mine, you had it in your hand when I pulled you out. Sheez, I was at least expecting a thank you! Well here's you're welcome!"
The cube wasn't his? She began to think of the feeling of the pointy cube she wrapped around both her hands. So the dream wasn't a sign of death? She thought to herself as she asked Neil, "Where's Leon?"
"Who?" Neil said as he continued to rub her cheek.
"My friend duh, where's my friend?"
"I-I don't know.." Neil stuttered.
"I'm right here," Coming into sight was Leon rushing to catch his breath as he made it to the others and in his hands was also a cube. The same as Natalia's and Neil's.
"Where'd you get that?" Natalia asked.
"I'm-I'm still trying to figure that out. After I saw you being taken away by the current, I was going to go after you but then I saw fly boy already on it. However, on my way, I had noticed rock climbers were hanging for dear life and I went to help. I'd scaled the cliff without any gear and managed to pull them up to safety, that's when I noticed you were on the beach and this guy was making out with you. As quickly as I climbed up, I was on my way back down when my hand slipped and thought I was done for until this dude who looked like something straight out of the lion king caught me and I was able to jump down without harming my ankles. Then this cube appeared in my hands and just like that he was gone," Leon explained.
"But I'm so glad you're okay!" Leon said as he hurried down to Natalia's side, "I don't know whats going on. Is the world coming to an end?"
"Worry not, we have chosen you to fight for the earth," everyone had to freeze for a second when a voice spoke as they all turned to look behind their backs. A lion spirit wearing a plaid poncho along with a shark spirit wearing a blue knitted sweater which appeared to be covering a long dress, arose into a glow of light as they presented themselves to Neil, Natalia, and Leon.
"Chosen to fight for the earth?" Neil asked as he walked closer to Natalia and Leon's side.
"Who the heck are you guys, are we dead?" Leon asked.
"No you are very much alive, however, your world is in very much danger. We are citizens of a place called Eden, our enemies the Vertex predators have been traveling from planet to planet causing destruction only to satisfy Shadow grim's lust for power." Explained the Lion humanoid.
"Earth is the birthplace of our people, it is the source of our power. So as a means to protect it, we formed a unity known as the Beast Legion. We fight to defend the planet from those that would seek to harm it, being that we are no longer able to fulfill our duty we now call upon you because you embody the same desire to protect as we do. What you have in your hands are Beast cubes, in times of trouble they will activate and grant you access to an extraordinary amount of power. You will become Power Rangers!" Said the shark Humanoid.
"P-p-power rangers?" Neil said.
"Aren't power rangers skilled warriors that are enlisted by the government?" Natalia asked.
"I always thought power rangers were aliens...and this just proves it," Leon said, pointing at the ghostly spirits.
"With it, you can fulfill the duty we were unable to," Said the Shark and that was a lot to take in as their bodies began to fade away by the pressure of the wind, "Please help defend the earth, because if the vertex predators aren't stopped here, then the whole universe is in danger."
"Wild Instincts awaken! And you will be transformed!" The lion shouted and there they were gone.
"Do you guys believe what they're saying?" Neil was the first to speak after the spiritual aliens vanished.
"You want me to believe a shark spirit and a lion spirit, who just happened to choose us to defend the earth?" Natalia rose an eyebrow, "Where'd did you get your cube? I didn't see a 3rd animal there."
"Um, I got it as a kid. They told me it would protect me when they couldn't," Neil answered, looking at his silver cube.
"Who's they?" Natalia asked.
"A birdman..." Neil said.
"Why do you get the bird? Oh, I know the logical explanation because you're not black. Out of the people in the world, the black guy gotta be the lion." Leon sneered.
"Oh lord kumbaya," Neil shot back, "I don't know why I was chosen, if you want to put race in the mix then why wasn't I the dragon? I'm just as stumped as you guys."
It was all too unreal for their eyes but what was more of a reality was the explosion soaring over their head and out the trees. The chaos was still rampaging while they remained on safe ground when others were being tortured from what the spirits called Vertex predators.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm going back. If those spirits say we are the ones who can stop them, then that's exactly what I'm going to do," And without any further words, Neil headed back to the scene, leaving Natalia and Leon behind.
Leon scoffed, "Who does he think he is? Superman or something? He's looking to run into some kryptonite with his foolish self. He not as brave as he thinks he is, he needs my strength and my loud voice which would be heard throughout that mess."
Leon just went on and on but Natalia was as still as the trees as she gazed at her cube. "You really want to go, don't you?"
"What?" Leon said, looking at the smoke and then at Natalia, "What do you mean?"
"If you want to go, Leon, go. I'll be fine, I'm not sure I'm brave enough to deal with such a task."
"Alright...I guess. Just image this, imagine how strong you'll look when people realized you helped save the planet," Leon left before giving her some words of advice.
In reality, it scared her. After almost drowning she didn't understand why a shark would choose her when she almost died. Nevertheless, Leon made a point as she rushed after him with her cube held tightly in her hand.

"Is that the best you got Edenite? To think you'd be the last one," Scabulous laughed, casting his cannon arm towards the cloaked figure. "Say goodbye!"
"STOP!"
Scabulous had then dropped his arm by the sound of the yell. It was Neil, finally out of the forest as his heavy breathing continued as he stared at the beast.
"A human?!" Scabulous said, summoning the deathstalkers to attack. The deathstalkers surrounded him as they slowly stepped closer to Neil putting his head up into fists. Engaging in the fight he wields his leg to the side and then into a spinning wheel kick. Remarkably he wasn't alone when Natalia and Leon showed up to help, leaving Scabulous and the mysterious cloaked figured stunned by their courage.
With the footsoldier occupied, Neil put his attention towards Scabulous as he rushed to aid the cloaked figure. By grabbing his cannon hand which was aiming to shoot at Natalia and Leon, there was a struggle to keep the monster from killing any more people just as Scabulous kicked Neil off of him and then pushing him to the floor as he stomped his foot on Neil's back.
"You must have a death wish!" Scabulous said before pulling Neil of the ground and tugging Neils' neck. The grasp around his throat grew tighter and with each squeeze the oxygen to his lung decline.
The cube! He had the cube and that's when he trembled to lift the cube up to his lips as he squealed, "Wild Instinct, Awaken!" But nothing happened.
He tried again, "Wild Instinct..." but again nothing.
In the fight with the footsoldiers, Natalia was doing pretty well as she tripped a Deathstalker with Leon uppercutting another, but as she looked over she gasped at the sight of Neil dangling from the monster's grip around his neck. Neil's arms were dangling from his eyes partly shut as he was running out of the air if only she could save him as he did for her but she was too scared to even assist by the sight of the monster's power as he placed his arm cannon directly on Neil's stomach.
"Nooo!" Her yell was heard from across the field and that moment her cube began to glow as the silver casing broke away which was replaced with a black cube with three painted sides.
"Beast 2: Shark!" The morpher said as she opened the new device to a phone function as the number two shined before her eyes. Before Natalia could advance any further she was blasted off her feet by Death Stalkers and her cube had rolled away from her and seeing his friend in danger something snapped in Leon as his cube began to glow as it shed its silver casing.
"Beast 3: Lion," The morpher said as Leon roared when he began to illuminate in yellow light, knocking away the minions. An outline of a yellow cube then circles around his body when a sketch of a lion head materialized on his now yellow spandex suit, and lion helmet. He was now a power ranger as he went to Natalia's side and helped her to her feet.
"Natalia, are you alright?" Leon asked.
"I'm fine, but look at you-you're—"
"I'm a power ranger!" Leon nodded with excitement.
"How did you do that?"
"I don't know, I just felt the need to help you," Leon said. That was a bit of a strange way to unlock powers but taking Leon's advice she picked up her morpher which laid beside her, remaining activated. Natalia then looked at the monster who then released Neil as he kept his sight for her and Leon. Responding to the need to protect, Natalia shined in blue light as she unfolded in her blue ranger suit with a shark's head printed on her chest and a shark helmet to show for it.
"BEAST LEGION!" Scabulous shouted in disbelieve, "How are you guys even alive? I watched you both die!"
"As you can see woody, I ain't dying but I'm not sure about you," Leon said in a cheery tone.
"We'll see about that!" Scabulous then summoned the deathstalkers as he tossed two coins onto the ground, lasering the arrival of the footsoldiers.
"Alright! Come at us!" Leon's voice was so loud it could be heard across town and it was piercing the drums in Natalia's ears, but the sonic vibration of his voice caused some of the footsoldiers to back down while others continued to charge in. Now as the blue beast legion ranger, Natalia had the strength of ten men as she fought her way with double handed attacks while Leon used his years of experience as a boxer to fight off the footsoldiers as Neil watched to him gasping for air.
They were able to morph into power rangers and he couldn't. He had the urge to help just like they did but his cube wouldn't activate when Natalia and Leon bent back by the magnitude of power. Suddenly the eyes of their animal spirit began to glow on their chest when a fin erupted out of Natalia's back as giant claws poked out of Leon's fingers.
"What this?" Leon was in shock.
"Maybe the power those spirits were talking about," Natalia said as she flipped in a background of rushing water to her diving in and then jumping back out as her body became a spinning ball of light. When Leon waved his arms a background of the savannah appearing behind as thunder roar to his claws creating a laser effect, slashing the footsoldiers to death.
"Did you forget me!?" Scabulous then caught their attention when up above were flying Deathstalkers, shooting laser as the new ranges rolled out of the way.
"They can fly too?" Natalia was worried.
"But not I!" Scabulous was right behind Natalia as she turned only to be met with a fist to the stomach and then to the face and afterward Leon was hit by a blast from his cannon and then another blast which took Natalia and Leon off their feet.
Come on stupid thing work! Neil was growing impatience as he shook the cube repeatedly. In any case, the mysterious figure would offer to help but it was badly wounded from the fight as it hid behind the edge of the cliff. Seeing Neil's struggle, the figure hesitated to react once Neil tossed the cube to the ground then unpacking the bag of his shoulder, Neil was going to help with a cube or not when the cube suddenly began to glow as his eyes widen to Neil lifting it off the floor.
"Beast 1: Eagle!" The morpher announced as Neil took the cube with him and acting on instinct he jumped in front of the blast which was going to kill Natalia and Leon. Their first instinct was the death of Neil but as the smoke cleared he was protected by a red outline of a cube. The cube then slammed into his chest where a red spandex suit remained.
This caused the mysterious figure to rise to his feet when an eagle slammed into the back of Neil's head. Materializing an eagle helmet on his head as wings tingled behind him and then disappearing in a spark of fire.
Neil was a Red Ranger.
