Power Rangers: Beasts of Myth

Five Versus Five: The First

Bloodwing's talons clicked on the stone floor of his castle, his wings folded behind his back as he thought of how to destroy the Beast Rangers. Lillith walked into the throne room, behind her Koibat, his fins/wings flapping about in anxiety.

"Lillith, who is this?" Bloodwing asked without turning out to face them, but rather using his keen olfactory senses to detect the two.

Lillith moved aside and said, "This is Koibat, an old friend of mine. He specializes in what types of monsters we should send, and he has a suggestion."

Bloodwing turned around to face the trembling Vampiric Beast, who shrank away, but was pushed by Lillith to approach.

"Y-y-yes," Koibat said shakily, "W-w-we should, um, send one monster per ranger to overpower them?"

Bloodwing inhaled deeply and said, "Sounds like a plan. Lillith, bring me five of our nastiest Vampiric Beasts."

Koibat stuttered, "B-b-but I b-brought my own, and they, they are ab-b-ble to combat each r-r-ranger with their p-p-powers."

Lillith stroked her chin, and said, "Ooh, what kind of powers?"

Koibat smiled nervously, and said, "W-well, see for yourself."

The iron doors to the room swung open and in walked five Vampiric Beasts in a V-formation. The one in the center of the formation was a black inferti/vampire with flames on his shoulders. To his left was a light blue and aqua swirled siren/vampire, and to his right, a grey wind being/vampire. Towards the ends of the V were a brown minotaur/vampire and a cobalt blue and white ice phoenix/vampire. All five kneeled before Bloodwing.

"Excellent," Bloodwing said, "Attack at once."

"Yes, master," the five said in unison.

They about-faced and headed to Bermuda Bay.

CAVE OPS

The five rangers stood around a virtual training dummy, morphed and personal weapons drawn. Tobias slashed at the dummy with his lance, who jumped back. Using this oppurtunity, Skyler struck the dummy in its sides with his staff before smashing it in the head towards Xue. The Chinese girl hit the program with her shield, then kicked it to Clarice. The yellow ranger dug her sickles into the ground, making a small boulder. She then kicked it at the dummy, sending the dummy Sean's way. The blue ranger slung his whip at the dummy's leg and flipped it into the air.

The dummy flipped into the air and the five drew their daggers.

"Five Beast Fury!" the rangers cried.

Xue jumped up and slashed the dummy, quickly followed by Clarice, Skyler, Sean, and Tobias. After the final slash, the dummy exploded.

Sasquatch nodded and deactivated the simulation. "Good job."

The group demorphed and Tobias smiled.

"Thanks, Sasquatch," the red ranger said.

Skyler nodded and added, "We've seriously grown in power."

"But you haven't matured any, Sky," Tobias pointed out.

"Have too!" Skyler objected.

"No, you haven't," Clarice told him.

"Yes, I have!" Skyler countered.

"So, if you have matured, you will not give Sean a noogie, right?" Tobias asked.

Skyler gritted his teeth, then smiled and said, "Of course."

Sean gave out a sigh of relief because there was nothing the Portuguese teen liked more than messing up the Irish boy's hair.

There was a pause and Skyler said, "Aw, who am I kidding?"

Skyler grabbed Sean, stuck his neck in the crevice of his arm, and rubbed his head with his knuckles roughly, saying "Noogie noogie noogie!"

The blue ranger twisted out of the green ranger's grip, and rubbed his hair back into place. Suddenly, the alarm began going off much louder than usual.

"Why is the alarm so loud?" Tobias yelled.

"The bigger the threat, the louder the alarm," Sasquatch explained as he uploaded the camera feed onto the main screen.

On the screen were the five Vampiric Beasts that Koibat had selected.

"Oh no," Sasquatch said, "This is bad, bad, bad!"

"Why?" Xue asked.

"Those are the Elementals, each in control of one of the Mythic Beast's elements," the hairy mentor explained, "The black inferti-like one is Inferpire, the siren-esque one is Vampiren, the wind being one is Aopire, the minotaur-like one is Minos, and the white phoenix thing is IcePhoenox."

"Let's go, guys," Tobias said.

The other four nodded. With that, the five teleported to the scene.

DOWNTOWN BERMUDA BAY

The five laughed as they did collateral damage.

"Stop Vampiric Beasts!" Tobias yelled as the rangers ran up.

Inferpire let out a cocky laugh and said, "And who are you to stop us?"

"We're the Power Rangers!" Skyler yelled out.

"Ready?" Tobais asked.

"Ready!" the other four cried.

"Mythic Beasts, Awaken!" the team said.

Tobias is in a volcano. Suddenly, a Dragon flies up and forms a ball of fire around Tobias. His ranger suit is burned onto him. The Dragon's takes his head, which becomes a helmet, and presents it to Tobias. He puts the helmet, then breaks out of the fire and strikes a pose.

Sean is underwater. Suddenly, a Sea Serpent swims up and swallows him. Out of nowhere, the Sea Serpent starts glowing and its body becomes Sean's ranger armor. Sean grabs the Sea Serpent's head and shoves it onto his head, and it becomes the helmet. He swims to the surface, jumps out of the water, lands on the sea, and strikes a pose.

Skyler is flying in a green sky. Suddenly, a giant eagle flies up. It is a Tolroc. Skyler gets on the Tolroc's back, and the Tolroc flares its massive wings. The wings meld with Skyler's arms, the talons meld with his legs, and the Tolroc's body becomes Skyler's ranger suit. The Tolroc's head forms around Skyler's head, making the helmet. Skyler lands on the ground and strikes a pose.

Clarice is in a desert. Suddenly, a snake with human arms slithers up. It is a Naga. Clarice is dragged under the sand and after a few seconds pass, comes back up in her ranger suit. The Naga pops out of the sand and falls on Clarice, but only the head hits her. The head becomes her helmet and she strikes a pose.

Xue is trudging through a snowy mountain in a blizzard. Suddenly, a Yeti walks up. Xue gets on the Yeti piggy-back style and the Yeti begins to run through the snow. The snow kicked up becomes Xue's ranger suit and the Yeti disappears, leaving only a helmet. Xue is pitched forward and her head hits the helmet and it comes on her head. She continues to fall down the mountain until she finds her footing, stomps her left foot, and strikes a pose.

"Lord of Fire! Red Dragon!" Tobias yelled.

"Master of the Sea! Blue Serpent!" Sean yelled.

"Lord of the Sky! Green Tolroc!" Skyler yelled.

"Mistress of the Earth! Yellow Naga!" Clarice yelled.

"Queen of the Ice and Snow! White Yeti!" Xue yelled.

"We protect those who don't believe in us, Power Rangers Beasts of Myth!" the five yelled in unison.

Inferpire smirked and said, "Then let's do battle."

The rangers summoned their weapons and the two parties charged.

Tobias slashed at Inferpire with his lance, but the Vampiric Beast blocked it with his forearm covered with tough scales. The monster then punched the red ranger in the stomach, causing the Spaniard to go back a few feet.

"That all you got?" Tobias said, his voice showing his fatigue.

"All I've got? I'm just getting started!" Inferpire roared as he charged again.

Sean lashed out at Vampiren, but her body became water vapor and the whip went straight through her. The monster then changed her body into water and grabbed the blue ranger, smashing him into buildings, cars, and the ground.

Sean growled and stood up.

The hybrid laughed evilly and said, "Your despise will be the highlight of my immortal life, Blue Ranger."

"Not if I destroy you first!" Sean shouted, and the two charged.

Skyler assaulted Aopire with his staff. The weapon went straight through his body. The Vampiric Beast became a tornado and sucked up the green ranger. While still in tornado form, Aopire slammed Skyler into the ground, sending him skidding.

"Er, are you even trying?" Skyler asked rhetorically as he got up.

Aopire reformed into a humanoid and cocked his head to the side.

"Don't talk much, do ya?" the green ranger asked.

Aopire's bottom half transformed into a twister and the monster charged.

"Guess that's a yes," the Portuguese replied, charging as well.

Clarice slammed her sickle blades into the earth, and created two ruts on each side of Minos, but the monster didn't seem phased. The Vampiric Beast punched the ground and the yellow ranger was thrown to the ground.

Minos cracked his knuckles and roared, "Minos will destroy you!"

Clarice got up and said, "Ugh, why is the earth element always portrayed as stupid?"

(A/N: Really, the earth element was meant to be portrayed as rigged and stubborn, which a lot of people mistake for stupidity.)

Clarice looked around and everything was frozen.

"W-who are you?" she asked.

(A/N: I'm the author, WolfsbaneX. Your world is actually a story I write in my spare time.)

"What?"

(A/N: Yeah, it's a little hard to grasp. I'm sure we'll meet again later on in the story. Good luck with this battle and with your relationship with Sean!)

"Wait!" the yellow ranger said, "What do you know?"

The next thing she knew, everything was unfrozen.

"That was a weird daydream," she said to herself, then to Minos, "That all you've got?"

"Bring it, Yellow Ranger!" Minos yelled as the two charged.

Xue held her shield steady against IcePhoenox's icy breath. Xue rolled to the left and sliced with the edge of her shield, but the Vampiric Beast block with his wing and hit Xue in the chest with a wing-flap. The white ranger hit the ground, rolled a few feet, and stopped on her stomach.

"Perhaps we're going about this all wrong," Xue thought aloud, "Guys, regroup!"

The white ranger got up and cartwheeled away.

"Right," Tobias said.

The red ranger jumped back from Inferpire and headed Xue's way. Sean cracked his whip a few times, then ran to Xue. Skyler flipped over Aopire, and flipped to Xue. The yellow ranger shrugged off her opponent and regrouped with the others.

"Yeah, Xue?" Tobias asked.

"We're each fighting our elemental equivalent, right?" the Chinese girl inquired.

The others nodded.

"So, why not fight one with a different element?" Xue continued.

"Brilliant, Xue!" Clarice said as she hugged her best friend.

"Alright, Skyler, you take Minos," Tobias said.

"Why do I get the meathead?" Skyler asked as he charged said Vampiric Beast.

"Sean, go against Inferpire," Tobias suggested.

"Roger!" the Irish boy replied as he charged Inferpire.

"Clarice, you've got IcePhoenox," Tobias continued.

"Gotcha," Clarice said, charging the ice phoenix/vampire.

"Xue, try your hand with Vampiren, I'll handle Aopire," Tobias finished.

"No problem," the Chinese girl replied, and the two charged their specified monster.

Minos slammed his knuckles into the ground, creating a seismic wave. Skyler flipped over it and unleashed high-speed kicks to the Vampiric Beast's Chest.

Minos growled and said, "What is this?"

Skyler hit his staff on the sides of the monster's head, and said, "This is how the wind element fights!"

The Vampiric Beast collapsed and said, "Minos's out of here!"

With that, the monster vanished in a flash of light.

Inferpire saw the rangers' plan and said, "Retreat!"

Before the other rangers could strike, the remaining Elementals disappeared in blinding flashes of light.

The rangers looked around and demorphed.

"Whoa, what was that all about?" Clarice asked.

"Looks like they figured out our plan," Tobias replied.

"Yeah, and they were a bit scared about it," Sean added.

Skyler nodded in agreement.

"Let's get back to base, think this out," Xue suggested.

"Right," Tobias said.

With that, the rangers teleported to Cave Ops.

BLOODWING'S CASTLE

Inferpire hit the stone wall and crumpled on the floor.

"Tell me why you got out of there when you had the rangers on a platter!" Bloodwing roared as he stormed over to the inferti/vampire.

The vampire grabbed his servant by the neck, and said servant choked out, "They... found... our... weakness."

Bloodwing sneered in anger, and released him.

"Fine," the vampire replied, "Which one of you in the most... expendable?"

"Oh, that's easy," Vampiren responded, "Minos."

The minotaur/vampire slapped the ground, and bellowed, "Minos is very valuable to team!"

Vampiren scoffed and replied coolly, "Well, all of us have a secondary power except for you, so..."

She paused, waved and said, "Off you go."

Minos growled and teleported.

CAVE OPS

"So, the Elementals are only strong against their own element," Sasquatch said, stroking his beard, "Looks like this calls for pizza!"

The rangers laughed.

Skyler clapped the bigfoot on the back and said, "After we beat these guys, Sasquatch."

The mentor folded his arms, and replied with a huff, "Fine."

Once again, alarms went off. Sasquatch pulled up the camera feed to reveal Minos attacking downtown.

"Let's go," Tobias said as the five morphed and teleported to Bermuda Bay.

BERMUDA BAY

Minos slammed his hands on the ground, flipping two mini-vans. The Vampiric Beast began to chuckle to himself, but was smacked across the face by Skyler's staff.

"Hello, rocks-for-brains," the green ranger taunted.

Minos growled and roared, "Minos crush you!"

But before he could charge, Sean wrapped his whip around his leg and the monster faceplanted. Xue used her ice breath powers to freeze the monster to the ground before Clarice slashed him a few good times with her sickles before he broke out. By this time, Minos was extremely fatigued.

"It's time to finish this sucker!" Tobias said as his suit began to glow red.

Tobias is in a red dimension with the monster. The Dragon Lance suddenly catches fire as the flames around the two get higher. Tobias swings his lance around, yelling, "Eternal Combustion!" The flames fly at the monster and the monster is reduced to ash.

"Chew on that, Bloodwing!" Tobias yelled as the ashes exploded.

BLOODWING'S CASTLE

"Lillith, activate a.." Bloodwing began.

"I know, I know," the vampiress replied, typing on the keyboard.

BERMUDA BAY

Minos grew and roared, "Minos squish!"

The rangers quickly summoned their Zords and simultaneously shouted, "Five as one! Mythic Beasts, Combine!"

The Yeti Zord's arms swivel behind its back as its head travels down to the pelvis, its chest opens and its feet become more humanoid. The Serpent and Naga Zords attach to the left and right sides respectively and hands form from the mouths. The Dragon Zord's tail retracts, its wing fold on its back, its head folds onto the chest. The Tolroc Zord's talons attach to the underbelly and its wings stiffen to make shoulder pads. The dragon then goes into the chest part and the Tolroc Zord on top of it. The Tolroc's head jerks back to where the head is supposed to be and a face appears in the wide open beak.

"Mythic Megazord!" the rangers yell, "Believe!"

Minos slammed his hands on the ground, causing the seismic wave that shook the Megazord. Sparks showered the rangers in the cockpit. The Megazord kicked the monster in the gut and gave him a jab to the jaw. Minos tried to gore the giant robot, but the Megazord grabbed his horns, causing sparks to erupt from the Vampiric Beast's crown.

"Let's finish him!" Tobias yelled.

The dragon's mouth opens and a red ball of energy charges there. Suddenly, the ball caves in on itself, and the energy becomes a beam that hits the monster, but doesn't damage the monster. "Five Beast Energy Burst!" the rangers yell as a blue beam shoots from the Serpent hand, a yellow beam shoots from the Naga hand, a green beam shoots from the Tolroc's eyes, and a white beam shoots from the Yeti's eyes. The beams spiral around the red, and connect with the monster, causing it to explode.

"Mythic Megazord!" the rangers cried in unison.

BLOODWING'S CASTLE

Bloodwing watched Minos's detruction on a screen in front of his throne.

Inferpire bowed and said, "No need to worry, your majesty. Getting rid of Minos was the best course of action."

Bloodwing stood and said, "Then, let us formulate a plan. And keep nothing from me."

"Of course, master," Inferpire said.


Trivia: The fourth wall breaking wasn't originally planned.
