"So much for those three and they were real monsters." Miracle Queen said as she was talking to Mayura and Hawk Moth. "There were three powerful monsters and they couldn't take on those rangers. Are you sure you even know what you're doing?"
"How dare you." Mayura said.
"Don't forget your place, Miracle Queen." Hawk Moth said. "The rangers may have gained the advantage over us, but I'm sure a monster or someone will stop the rangers and their powers will be mine. You just be ready to act when I say so."
"Of course. As you say." Miracle Queen said and turned away. "At least until things change." She whispered as she isn't going to take orders from Hawk Moth forever.
"Sounds like you're planning a party." Miracle Queen was spooked as she saw someone lower herself down like a spider and had six arms.
"Who are you?"
"Anansi's the name. Beating people around is my game."
"Anansi is my latest creation." Hawk Moth said. "She has spider-like abilities with the movements of a professional kickboxer. If we can't outsmart the rangers, perhaps we can outmaneuver them."
"I'll get it done. One good hit for each of the rainbow suits is all I need." Anansi said. This spider will do more than just bite.

Alya's Apartment
Alya and Nino danced around with a dancing game and was in perfect sync. Luka, Francis, and Marinette watched, but Adrien had to watch over the phone with him at home.
"Big finish!" Marinette said as they finished things up, but made it fun by changing it around. Alya took the guy's position and Nino took the girl's.
"Nice moves." Luka said.
"Perfectly in sync." Francis said.
"You two looked really great there. I hope one day I can find someone that's a match for me." Adrien said. Marinette really hoped that would be her one day.
"Adrien, are you sure you can't come with us to see the fireworks?" Nino asked.
"My father said no." Adrien said.
"He means well. He's just trying to protect you." Luka said.
"But that's what's annoying." Alya said. "Adrien is capable of taking care about himself. I know people like his father mean well, but what's wrong with having some freedom."
"Wow, Alya. You talk like you know what it's like." Nino said.
"Well…."
"What's this? Is the dance competition over?" They looked to see a buffed woman enter the place. "At least tell me you clobbered the competition, Alya."
"Who's the boxer?" Francis asked.
"Everyone, meet my big sister Nora. Nora, these are my friends from school." Alya said.
"Sup." Nora said.
"Oh yeah. Alya told me about Nora." Marinette said. "She's a great kickboxer and Alya claims she can be protective of her family."
"You can say that again." Nora said as she went into the kitchen and grabbed some milk. "Anyone who would dare mess with my family is going to end up being sorry. So what do all of you have planned?"
"We were all planning to see the fireworks later today." Alya said, but Nora did a spittake.
"No way." Nora said. "Cellphone, twinkle toes, and the other three can go, but you're staying here."
"I think I'm starting to see what Alya was talking about." Francis said.
"That's so nuts. Who says you can keep me here?" Alya said. "I already asked Mom and Dad. They said I'll go because I'll be with my friends the whole time. Nora, you're always like this. You're a little overprotective. I can take care of myself just fine."
"With good reason." Nora said. "That butterfly man is still out there and he keeps sending those monsters. It's not safe out there."
"We'll be okay. Besides, there are the Power Rangers out there." Marinette said.
"Please. They're just dudes in rainbow tights." Nora said. "I can take on anything they can. Besides, personally, that yellow one doesn't look like she has much to offer." Without knowing it, Alya was insulted and the others felt bad for it.
"Look, Nora I'm going. The fireworks are tonight and I'm going. I'm not a defenseless child." Alya said. "Come on, guys. Let's get going." Alya stormed out of the place with the others following her, but Nora didn't listen to what she said.
…
The Rangers
"I'm starting to see what you were talking about." Nino said as the five of them were moving. "Your sister is the same way to you as Adrien's father is to him."
"Exactly." Alya said. "I get it's because she cares, but it can be so annoying. Although, what she said about me, Yellow Ranger, was right."
"What are you talking about?" Francis asked. "You're just as important as anyone else on the team."
"I get that, but all of you have really stepped up." Alya said. "Marinette, you became more confident. Nino, more sure of himself. Francis, you saved us time after time. Luka, you showed some real skill when you first started. Adrien took everything that kissy monster threw and beat her. Me…I find the Light of Mirales only for it to fall into the wrong hands. All of you have stepped up your game and I haven't. I feel like I don't bring anything to the team."
"Don't be so hard on yourself." Marinette said as she comfort Alya. "I'm sure you'll get your moment to shine."
"It might be sooner than you think. Look!" Francis said as he pointed to the buildings and saw something moving fast over them. "Call Adrien." All of them followed after what they saw.
…..
Anansi
Anansi jumped down and started lifting cars with her throwing them and causing damage. She caused a panic in the city as they all ran for their lives.
"What a bunch of lightweights. They're all afraid of a little fight." Anansi said.
"We're not!" Anansi looked and saw five of the rangers arrived to face her.
"You guys are these rangers I keep hearing about?" Anansi said. "I really don't see how you guys can actually be a challenge to me."
"Careful, guys. She's got six arms. This one might be so easy to beat in a head-on fight." Francis said.
"We can take her. Watch!" Nino said as he jumped right in and pulled out his saber,
"You should have listened to your friend." Anansi said as she avoided his saber. She used one side of her arms and jabbed at Nino with incredible speed, one hit after the other in a matter of seconds. Nino was hit back and rolled against the ground.
"Nino!" Francis said as he and Luka tried to help him.
"Are you okay?" Luka asked. Before they could do anything, they both got caught by a thread of web.
"You two won't be!" Anansi said as she pulled them both in. She gave them both the same treatment as Nino and they were both knocked down. "This is too easy."
"Oh yeah?!" Marinette said as she and Alya tried attacking her from behind. However, Anansi spread her arms and lifted a leg as she spun around on one and knocked both of them away.
"Is that really all you guys got?" Anansi said.
"Not even close!" Anansi spotted Adrien running in to help. He used his staff, but she was able to block each of his attacks. She grabbed his staff and beat him around with her other arms. She knocked Adrien down and tossed his staff away. "I thought beating you guys would be a challenge. What a waste of my time. I don't even know why I'm even bothering. Later." Anansi thought they weren't worth her time and crawled on the walls as she left.
"Adrien, you're not hurt, are you?" Marinette said as she helped him up.
"I'm fine. Thanks." Adrien said.
"She has spider-like powers and her movements are pretty fast. This one will be difficult to beat." Francis said. They might actually be in some real trouble.
…..
Anansi
"That was such a letdown." Anansi said as all she was doing was relaxing on a roof. "If that's all this town has got, why am I even bothering?"
"Maybe because I say so!" She felt someone knocked her down with a stick. She looked up and saw Hawk Moth and he didn't look happy.
"Hawk Moth! I didn't think you show yourself." Anansi said.
"That's how angry I am!" Hawk Moth said. "You had the rangers. Why didn't you finish it?"
"They were nothing. They couldn't even touch me. It was too easy." Anansi said.
"That's why you should have finished it and take the miraculous power." Hawk Moth said. "Go back down there and finish it….or I will finish you." He held out his hand and Anansi was starting to feel pain.
"Okay. Okay! Just stop!" Anansi said and Hawk Moth spared her.
"Very good. This time, win your match and make sure you take home the trophy." Hawk Moth said. If Anansi really can take on the rangers, Hawk Moth just might win it all.
…
Rangers' Base
"She has spider-like powers and all her moves are fast and hard. Her having six arms make her more difficult to beat." Francis said. He was telling Fu about what they encountered and they were making a plan. "How are we going to beat this one?"
"I can see your problem. Defeating this spider will take a lot of determination and brains." Fu said.
"I'll say." Nino said as he held an ice pack against his head. Some of the rangers did take a beating from her. "That spider lady hits hard and fast."
"We need to think smarter as well as harder with her." Marinette said.
"By the way. Where's Alya?" Fu asked.
"She went somewhere to think. She's been feeling down and wants to do her best for when that monster comes back." Marinette said.
"Is everything okay with Alya?" Adrien asked.
"She's a little upset because she thinks she doesn't bring enough to the team." Luka said.
"But none of us think that way." Francis said.
"You might, but Alya sees herself like that." Fu said. "Give her time. I'm sure that when the time comes, she'll have her chance to shine. Everyone has their moments. It's not a matter how. It's a matter of when."
…..
Alya
Alya was by the Eiffel Tower and she wanted to be ready for when that monster comes back. She tied some rope around a tree and kept attacking it to improve her moves.
"I've got to be ready." Alya said. "If we want to beat that monster, we've got to be fast and strong. We've got to be able to outmaneuver her." Alya kept working on her moves. As she was doing that, she felt someone tap on her shoulder and saw it was her sister. "Nora? What are you doing out here?"
"Looking for you since you stormed off on me." Nora said. "I see you're trying to work on some moves. Well, you don't need to worry about all that. I can take care of anything that wants to mess with you." Alya was annoyed by that, but she realized that Nora just might be able to help her.
"Nora, can I ask you something?" Alya said. "When you're in one of your matches, how do you fight? How do score a good hit?"
"That's easy. I watch my opponent's moves. I study how they move and wait for an opening." Nora said.
"Study their moves." Alya said. "How do you do that when you're trying to fight back and not get hit?"
"You focus on dodging first, especially if the opponent seems fast." Nora said. "Once you have their speed down, you strike. Fighters are most vulnerable right when they strike." Alya thought about all that and was starting to see what Nora was saying. Good thing because trouble showed up with people running scared. They looked and saw Anansi came back with some akumas.
"Let's see the brightly colored wimps even have the guts to show themselves." Anansi said.
"Not good. Nora, you've got to get out of here." Alya said as she pulled on her sister's arms.
"No way. This is the perfect chance to teach these punks a lesson." Nora said as she went to face them.
"Nora, no!" Alya said as she wanted to go stop her, but Miracle Queen showed up.
"I don't think so." Miracle Queen said.
"You again. Get out of the way." Alya said.
"Make me." Miracle Queen said. Alya did just that as she tried to fight her off. As for Nora, she stood and faced Anansi.
"Who are you?" Anansi said.
"Someone who isn't afraid of you freaks." Nora said as she was willing to fight.
"Someone's gutsy." Anansi said. Nora was brave enough to try and fight Anansi, but Anansi grabbed Nora's arms and used her spare ones to jab at her and knocked them down. The akumas came around her and grabbed on to her. Alya was doing her best to fight Miracle Queen, but she saw Nora was in trouble. Alya kicked Miracle Queen's legs and hurried to save her sister.
"Back off!" Alya said as she pulled the akumas off her sister and knocked them back. As she was fighting, Nora was impressed with how her sister was fighting. She used her great strength and freed herself.
"Not bad, but not good either." Anansi said as she shot some webbing from her mouth.
"Alya!" Nora called as she pushed her out of the way and got caught in it herself. "Hey! I can't see!"
"That does it." Alya said. "You're done for. It's morphing time! Miraculous Power!" Alya morphed and was ready for her.
"One ranger can't take me on." Anansi said.
"You said it." Miracle Queen said as she joined the fight. "Let's get this over with." The akumas were about to attack, but all of them were blasted and beaten already.
"Alya!" She looked and saw the others arrived.
"You okay?" Nino asked.
"I'm fine. I'll be better once we take her down." Alya said. "Let's rock. Light of Miracles, Activate!" The five of them powered up and was ready.
"Are we suppose to be scared?" Miracle Queen questioned.
"Stay out of this. This is my fight." Anansi said as she stepped forward.
"Let's try attacking her from all sides." Francis said. All of them jumped and tried attacking her from all sides, but Anansi struck each one of them with her arms. Miracle Queen helped out as she unleashed a swarm of bees that attacked the rangers. All of them rolled out of the way and tried to stay strong.
"How are we going to beat her?" Adrien questioned.
"You can't. You might as well just quit." Miracle Queen said.
"No way." Alya said as she stood up. "If we lose, we all lose. There's no telling what Hawk Moth would do. There's no way I'm going to let that happen."
"You better give me a real fight." Anansi said as she jumped around and was ready. "I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, and bite like a spider."
"You're just another bug to be crushed." Alya said as she charged in and used Nora's advice. Anansi tried to attack her, but Alya focused on dodging. She watched Anansi's movements and studied them, waiting for the right moment. "There!" Alya saw and opening and slashed right against Anansi and did some real damage.
"Oh yeah, Alya!" Nino said.
"No fair!" Anansi said.
"I say it was. Let's finish this you guys." Alya said as the five of them charged. "Miracle Slash!" All five of them slashed against Anansi and did some real damage with Anansi being destroyed. Luka went over to Nora and cut her free from the web.
"Are you okay?" Luka asked.
"Yeah. Thanks, rainbow people" Nora said. "Wait. Where's Alya? Is she hurt?"
"You don't need to worry." Alya said. She was real grateful to her sister for her help "Your sister is safe. She had a great sister watching over her."
"Hey! Don't ignore me!" Miracle Queen said as she was ready to fight, but Mayura arrived and stopped her.
"Not so fast. Anansi isn't done." Mayura said as she plucked a feather. "Flyaway, little amok." She released the feather and Anansi came back as a giant.
"Round two!" Anansi said.
"You better get out of here." Alya said.
"Yeah. This is past my weight class." Nora said as she ran for it.
"Let's go, guys." Francis said as they each pulled out their miraculous gems. "Sun Zords, Arise!" They called on their zords and formed the Sun Megazord.
"Careful, everyone. We need to watch her movements." Alya said. "Watch how she moves and we should be able to find an opening."
"You take the lead, Alya. We trust you." Francis said.
"Just standing there? Fight time!" Anansi said as she went at the rangers. She hit them as hard and as fast as she could. They had to endure it and were putting their faith in Alya.
"There!" Alya said. The megazord grabbed two arms and held them against the other arms. With them out of the way, they gave her a powerful kick and knocked Anansi back. "Time to finish her before she can counter."
"Miraculous Sun Blaze!" They unleashed a powerful stream of fire that blasted Anansi and burned that spider as she was destroyed.
…
Nora
Nora looked around for Alya. She needed to see for herself if Alya was safe.
"Nora!" Nora turned around and saw Alya coming her way with her friends. She was so glad to see her safe. Alya ran ahead and her friends gave those two some space.
"Alya, are you hurt?" Nora asked.
"I'm fine." Alya said.
"Good. Look, I know I annoy you with me being overprotective." Nora said. "That's only because I didn't see how you could take care of yourself. I did now. You really know how to fight."
"Thanks, Nora. I know you care, but I can take care of myself just fine." Alya said. "Tell you what. We don't hang out much in the first place. How about you just come with me and my friends to see the fireworks?"
"Really? It does sound awesome." Nora said as the two sisters hugged each other and her friends were really happy for Alya.
"That's nice." Luka said.
"Yeah. Hopefully I can get my father to come around like that." Adrien said.
"I'm sure he'll be more opened soon." Marinette said.
"Speaking of which, I should head home." Adrien said. He headed home and the others felt bad for him.
"Poor, Adrien." Nino said.
"I'm sure things will change for him." Francis said. They all hoped so. Since he couldn't go, Nora went with them and they all enjoyed the fireworks. It was even better seeing them with people you can count on. Even if you are capable of taking care of yourself. It's just nice knowing you don't have to all the time.
