Chapter 2: Rhythm Clash
"What?!" Kite yelled out. Madoka was cutting up vegetables happily.
"So she told him." Sosuke said to the others. Souske sat at the table with Tsubasa and Maya. They were invited over to eat food. They had never expected it to turn into a war between siblings.
"Who is he! Tell me now!" Kite demanded his sister tell him who she was going out with. Madoka had managed to get a boyfriend at school and refused to tell her brother anything about him. What was bad for everyone was that she decided to tell him before the food was even close to ready.
"Can't we all just calm down and enjoy some food." Sosuke said to them. They stopped to look at him before they continued what they were doing.
"Well I think Kite is in the right here." Tsubasa said to the others as he took a sip of the water he was given.
"Well I think Madoka is overdoing it a little." Maya admitted.
"Sosuke!" Kite turned his attention to the boy wearing black.
"Yes?" He said as he was drinking his water.
"You go to the same school." Kite began to walk towards the spiky haired boy.
"No!" Madoka stopped what she was doing.
"Yes! Who is this guy?" Kite said as he sat down opposite of Sosuke.
"Here we go." Tsubasa sat back.
"Don't you say anything or so help me I will kill you." Madoka threatened Sosuke.
"I don't know anything." Sosuke choked on his drink.
"Cmon bro! Tell me." Kite grabbed Sosuke by the collar of his jacket.
"Ani! Leave him alone!" Madoka yelled at her brother.
"Fine!" Kite dripped Sosuke on his chair. "But so help me Madoka, if I find out this boy is a bad influence, then I will kill him myself!" Kite yelled at his sister.
"Whatever! Maya, let's go!" Madoka took off her apron and threw it on the couch. She grabbed Maya's hand and they left the apartment.
"No dinner then." Tsubasa took another sip of his drink.
"You guys need to help me." Kite told the guys.
"I'm not getting involved." Tsubasa told him.
"You! Tell me his name and what he is like." Kite looked at Sosuke with fire in his eyes. Sosuke began to feel his fear rise.
"Ok! Just don't hurt me!" Sosuke said to Kite.
"You are the Raging Bull and you just gave in that easily. What a wimp." Tsubasa insulted his brother.
"Hey!" Sosuke was definitely left insulted.
"Talk!" Kite's voice sounded threatening.
"Ok all I know is that the guys name is Romeo." Sosuke said to Kite.
"Romeo? Like the Shakesphere play?" Tsubasa was interested now.
"Yea. That's it. That's all I know!" Sosuke said holding his hands up.
"There has to be more. Get talking." Kite cracked his knuckles.
"Ok! He's like me. Except he's more pervy. He tends to bring in the beautiful girls and then tricks them into having some fun night time activities with him and any of his friends, if you know what I mean." Sosuke confessed.
"Wow. That's just disgusting." Tsubasa said.
"Yea I know. He also may sell a little drugs on the side. You know, a side job. That's it. That's all I know!" Sosuke put his hands up.
"This bastard. You have to keep an eye on him. I swear if he does anything to my baby sister then I'm blaming it on you." Kite finally calmed down.
"Sosuke. Make sure this guy doesn't try anything and if he does, do some stupid shit to distract everyone. And if it gets really intense, then make up some excuse and get Madoka out of there. Understood." Tsubasa said to his you her brother.
"Yea Yea. I got it." Sosuke said, crossing his arms.
"Madoka." Kite whispered as he let his face fall on the table.
"Why so defensive about your little sister? Not that it's wrong." Tsubasa asked the question, curiosity taking the better of him.
"You have the answer in your question. She's my baby sister. I have taken care of her for as long as I can remember. She always looked up to me and we always did everything together." Kite remembered the old days when him and his sister would play with eachother.
"Well she's got to grow up eventually." Tsubasa said to Kite, patting him on the back.
"I know, but she's just growing up to fast. I mean her body has changed a whole lot. She's prone to all those perverts looking at her." Kite said honestly.
"I know and that's why you got to protect her. Just don't go overboard." Tsubasa said to Kite.
"Yea. Besides, she's pretty headstrong. I'm sure if some pervert tries to do something, she'll fight back for sure." Sosuke tried to cheer up Kite.
"Sosuke." Tsubasa coughed out.
"Hey! That was one mistake." Sosuke said.
"Well don't do it again." Kite said to him.
"You have my word." Sosuke said putting his right hand over his heart.
"And your word sometimes is meaningless." Tsubasa admitted.
"Hey!" Sosuke yelled out.
"Just make sure she's safe guys. You know, when I'm not there, just look out for her. Can you guys please do that?" Kite asked them.
"Definitely. I promise to take care of her as if she was y own younger sister." Tsubasa promised.
"Yea. I got her back too. We are friends now, right." Sosuke said.
"Right!" Kite said.
"It's a promise." Sosuke said as they all put their fists together, meeting in the middle.

"Ok. Test number twenty-six. Go!" Baishisu said as he directed a monster.
The monster moved something on his chest and sent out a sound wave that affected a Ryaku monster.
"Perfect!" Baishisu said happily.
"Yes. My powers have improved a lot. Thank you for my upgrades." The monster said.
"It's no problem. As long as you help in General Jiku's conquest of earth" Baishisu reminded him of the deal they had.
"Of course. Besides, destroying the planet is a great thing. Getting rid of all those humans. It's just something I would loved to see." The monster said happily.
"Alright, so what's going on in here?" Zaku walked into the room.
"Just preparing out newest soldier." Baishisu jumped up with joy.
"That's good! We need to make sure that he is ready to destroy the city. He needs to be strong enough to destroy the planet as well." Zaku said.
"Yes. That is what we are doing in here." Baishisu assured him.
"Good. And just so I can report, what is your name?" Zaku asked the monster standing around. The monster was black all over with a machine inserted into his chest. He was clearly something from somones nightmares, especially considering that his left eye was a square.
"My name is Yukeru! I'm at your service." The monster answered the question, bowing in front of Zaku.
"Make sure you do as I say nd we won't have a problem. Got it!" Zaku threatened. The monster felt this and was immediately intimidated.
"Ye... Yes... Sir." Yukeru lifted up his right arm, saluting towards Zaku.
"Well I should go report this to the general. Keep training and make sure he's ready." Zaku escaped from the room.
"Great, now that he's gone, let's get to using your powers." Baishisu said getting some more Ryaku ready to fight.
"I'm ready!" Yukeru said, getting ready for battle.
Zaku walked down the corridor. The last time he tried to take on a Kemonoranger in battle, he almost died. He still isn't fully ready to take on the red ranger. He has always felt that killing the red one was his destiny. Now he trained even harsher. Ever since he was defeated, he trained day and night. He wanted to be ready for the next time that destiny arrived. The next time he would face Kemono Red.
Zaku walked into a bigger room. His General was no where to be seen. He was clearly working on something else in secret, considering that his master wanted to become the best monster he could be. He wanted to destroy the planet. If it weren't for the past tribes who stopped him, then he would have succeeded.
Zaku was going to walk back to his own quarters, when all of a sudden his boss came walking in. He was practically limping.
"Are you ok boss?" Zaku asked.
"Yes I'm alright. Why don't you get the Ryaku to fix me a drink." Jiku said to him, anger present in his tone.
"Why don't you revert back to your regular form." Zaku said.
"Fine! Only if it'll help me heal faster." Jiku got up and commenced his transformation, but it failed. He stayed in his human state.
"What happened?" Zaku asked his superior.
"It seems that being in this human form for so long, has prevented me from transforming back to my original form." Jiku said, sitting on his throne.
"Don't worry master. I will figure out how to revert you to your former body." Zaku bowed down.
"That's great and all, but make sure you don't mess up our plans to destroy this planet." Jiku warned him.
"Of course. I will make sure the monster does what he is told to do." Zaku pleased his master.
"What is this new monsters name?" Jiku asked.
"His name is Yukeru and he plans on using," Zaku paused, "Actually I need to make sure what he is planning." Zaku admitted.
"Then go and do it!" Jiku yelled.
"Certainly." With that, Zaku was off. He left the room and made his way to Baishisu's lab. There he found the monster doing something with his chest.
He moved dials on his chest. Zaku then looked over to where the Ryaku were and saw that they were moving weirdly. He was wondering what was going on.
"What's going on." Yukeru stopped as soon as he heard Zaku's voice.
"Just testing out his new powers. Needs more power." Baishisu said as he scribbled in a notebook.
"What is your plan exactly? How will you destroy the earth?" Zaku asked as he got closer. His steps boomed throught the room.
"Well you see, my abilities allo me to use rhythms to control people's movements. People use rhythm all the time. They use it to dance, but what they don't realize is that their everyday movements are part of an everyday rhythm they perform. I will act as a sort of antenna and make the people do what I want them to do, against their own will of course." Yukeru paced back and forth explaining his plan.
"Excellent! As soon as you are done training your powers, go to the city and cause some mayhem. Make the humans suffer." Zaku instructed the monster.
"Of course! I'll see to it right away." Yukeru said as he bowed once again in the presence of Zaku.
"Great. You! Finish his upgrades!" Zaku yelled over at Baishisu.
"You got it!" Baishisu yelled back.
"Shall we begin, again." Yukeru turned to Baishisu.
"Certainly. I'm guessing that the best way to go through with this plan is to use your powers on high school kids. They are the easiest targets. At least that's what I think." Baishisu said, adjusting his glasses.
"Well... I'm all for it." Yukeru agreed.
"Great. Now keep practicing on the Ryaku so that I can see what I need to upgrade. I feel like today is going to be a great day." Baishisu said happily.
"Yes it will be, because when I'm done, this planet will be on the brink of destruction!" Yukeru laughed evilly. The Ryaku also laughed but one was punched in the gut by Yukeru. "Don't laugh with me!" He stayed in a cold tone.
"Hey! Stop taking forever and start already! We don't have all day!" Baishisu yelled at the monster who stood laughing.
"Fine! Get ready you Ryaku, here we go!" Yukeru said as he prepared his attack.

"I just don't get it! Why can't he understand that I'm in love!" Madoka cried as Maya patted her on her back. They had walked all the way to the park. Madoka explained her feelings to Maya and yet Maya still sided with Kite.
"Maybe because he cares to much about you to let you go and fall in love to carelessly. He's asking questions because he dosen't want you dating someone who is a bad match for you." Maya tried reassuring Madoka. She wanted Madoka to see that Kite just cared for her that's all.
"Yea, but I'm old enough to know who is a good match for me or not." Madoka said in a childish way.
"Madoka, I want you to be honest with me. First stop crying, then tell me about this guy." Maya said as he let Madoka side hug her.
"Why? So you can tell my brother!" Madoka said to her in a semi-harsh tone.
"No! I promise I won't tell him anything. I just want to help you." Maya reassured. She was telling the truth. She didn't want to. She wanted to hear everything from Madoka and then tell Kite but then it would ruin her newly found friendship with Madoka. She never really had a beast friend before and she liked the feeling. Also, she didn't want to ruin Kite and Madoka's relationship. She's heard if families who haven't spoken to eachother for years.
"Ok," Madoka seemed to hesitate, "Ok, I'll tell you." Madoka sat up. Maya looked at the young girl. She remembered being like her. She eventually realized that she had to help her parents care for the children and never really had the time to do all the stuff that Madoka does.
"I'm ready." Maya told Madoka who was wiping away the tears that had remained in her eyes.
"You see, I met this boy at school. Oh he was so romantic when we first met. He offered me flowers and chocolates. He said that I was the most beautiful girl at school." Madoka began to daydream.
"What's his name?" Maya asked out of curiosity. She needed a name to put on the boy that Madoka fell in love with.
"His name is," Madoka paused as she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, imagining the boy was there, "Romeo." The name escaped her lips. She smiled at the sound of his name. She felt like it was all a fairytale. The very thought of this boy made chills go down her spine.
"Romeo," Maya's train of thought began to roll, "As in the play by the famous English writer, Shakesphere?"
"That's the one." Madoka said happily.
"So what is he like?" Maya asked.
"He's very romantic. He knows how to talk to girls. I'm just happy that I was the one chosen to be his. My friends and I all talked about him when he first transferred to our school. He came from a school in Kyoto and apparently his parents loved english literature and that's why he's named Romeo." Madoka almost danced as she talked about her 'boyfriend'.
"You really like him, huh?" Maya took note of Madoka's mood.
"You bet. Maya I'm mad in love." Madoka gabbed Maya's hands and pulled her up.
"Yea, I can see that." Maya said as Madoka moved her hands rapidly.
"He said that we were destined to be. He said that we were soulmates." Madoka closed her eyes once more.
"He really said that?" Maya said but didn't sound surprised. A lot of guys used to do that to her when she was in high school.
"Yes, he did. He said that he wanted to marry me as soon as possible." This statement made Maya's heart skip a beat. She stopped moving along with Madoka. Madoka looked at her with a concerned look but immediately began to dance again.
"Don't you think that's a little too much?" Maya asked her as she raised an eyebrow.
"No. My brother has you now so he doesn't need me to take care of him anymore. I can happily get married." Maya almost fell over.
"What?!" Maya almost screamed out. Madoka caught her by surprise.
"Yea. You and my brother," Madoka imagined it, "You guys make a perfect couple. I can already imagine you in a wedding dress."
"Ok! Slow down! First of all, me and Kite are just friends. Second of all, don't you need Kite's permission to marry somebody?" Maya finished with a question.
"Who cares what he has to do. I don't need his permission to marry someone who I love. Besides, he would be a jerk about it. He doesn't know what kind of love we have." Madoka looked away, a little angry.
"Madoka, your brother doesn't even know who this guy is." Maya tried to reason with her.
"He doesn't need to know anything. Anyways, just don't tell him anything. You promised." Madoka pointed a finger at Maya.
"But Madoka..." Maya tried to say something but Madoka wouldn't let her.
"No buts. You promised." Madoka looked away.
"Ok. I won't say anything." Maya tied her promise.
"Good! Now let's talk about you and my brother." Madoka said, grabbing Maya's hands and sitting down.

"Ok Ryaku. Let's tear these earthlings apart!" Yukeru stood tall. He was preparing an attack on the people who were in the park.
"Are you ready?!" Yukeru looked up. He thought that someone had managed to get behind him. When he turned around, no one stood there then he looked down at a drone type object flying near.
"Who is talking?" Yukeru looked at the drone with a confused look.
"It's me you idiot." The drone made a move forwards and hit Yukeru in the face.
"Oh, Zaku. I'm sorry. To answer your question, I am preparing my attack right now as we speak." Yukeru said, reporting in what he was about to do.
"Well, get to it!" Zaku yelled through the drone.
"Ye.. Yes.. yes sir." Yukeru quickly left his hiding place and moved a few dials on his chest. "Hey you freaks! You are my minions now." Yukeru yelled as he send a high pitches sound towards the groups of people that were together. The people got up and started walking like zombies, following Yukeru wherever he went.
"Now! Attack the rest of your kind." Yukeru commanded as he pointed towards another huge group of people. The regular people began to run and scream. The zombified humans walked alongside Ryaku as they chased down the non-infected.
Yukeru continued yo laughed manically as people were getting injured. He walked forward with ease as he continued to watch. Suddenly, he was blasted and sent flying backwards. He fell into a table nearby. He got up holding his head.
"What the hell was that?" He asked aloud as he moved as if he were drunk.
"You gotta leave people alone!" Yukeru turned around to see Kemono Red standing on a low rooftop, holding his blaster.
"How about I don't!" Yukeru yelled.
"Then prepare for a fight!" Yukeru turned around to see that Kemono Blue and Kemono Black stood behind him.
"Fine then! Ryaku!" Yukeru snapped his fingers and a horde of monsters came out of the ground.
"Let's have some fun!" Black yelled out as he began to run towards the newly born monsters.
"Sosuke! Wait!" Blue calles out to his brother, but it was already to late as he headed for the bigger monster in the middle.
"Too late!" Black called back as he jumped into the air, Raiku Saber in hand. He was coming down, eyes closed, when the monster suddenly moved it's dials. When Black came down with his saber, he thought he had hit him. When he opened his eyes, he was in total shock. He had missed the monster by inches. He could have sworn he was right on target. Blue also thought he had a chance of hitting him. Red looked in awe as this occurred.
"What was that?!" Red asked the monster.
"Oh, it's just one of my many abilities. Good luck trying to hit me." Yukeru laughed.
"I can hit you. With my smarts, my calculations will not fail me." Blue said as he pulled his own Raiku Saber and charged at the monster.
"I don't think so!" Yukeru moved his dials once more. Blue came as he passed by the monster. To his shock his sword flew over the monster.
"That makes no sense!" Blue was in total shock.
"Yea, but this does." Yukeru punched Blue in the gut. He then grabbed him from his back and sent him flying up into the air.
"That's it!" Red pulled out his Raiku Blaster and shot three bullets at the monster. The bullets tore through the air as they made their way towards the monster. Yukeru moves his dial slightly and the bullets completely missed him.
"You missed." Yukeru laughed at the failed attempt Kemono Red took.
"Nani!" Red yelled out.
"My turn!" Yukeru moved his dials and his hands glowed. He then sent a flying punch attack towards Red, sending him flying back.
"We aren't done yet!" Black showed up again. He had his Bull Axe in hand.
"Come at me!" Yukeru prepared himself.
They both began their charge. Black pulled up his axe as Yukeru dialed something on his chest. Black took a mental note. They both slashed eachother. They stood opposite of eachother. They stood back to back. Then Black fell to the ground, injured, and he demorphed. Yukeru stood up straight. He was completely untouched. He swiped off some dust on his chest.
"Was that enough?" Yukeru said as he turned to see Black on the ground.
"Take this!" Yukeru turned in time to be hit by an arrow. He was sent backwards but he remained on his feet.
"Sosuke!" Yellow came to Black's side. Pink got there too and stood in between Yukeru and the two other rangers.
"Relax! He's still breathing. For now." Yukeru laughed.
"You bastard!" Pink yelled at him.
"She's right! You are a bastard!" Red jumped into the air and sent a slash from his Tiger Sword towards Yukeru.
"That's my cue! Ryaku, What have you been doing this whole time! Fight them!" Yukeru yelled at the monsters who were just sitting around and watching. Yukeru instantly disappeared and two Ryaku monsters were hit with the slash.
"Sosuke!" Yellow called to her fallen comrade.
"How is he!" Blue ran up to where Sosuke lay.
"I don't know!" Yellow moved Sosukes head so that it was in her lap. "Sosuke! Wake up!"
"You guys try to wake him up! Me and Maya will keep them busy. Ready!" Red told them and turned to Maya. Maya nodded and they both charged at the monsters that remained.
"Sosuke. Wake up bro." Blue calles out to him.
"Sosuke! Please!" Yellow calles out to him. She had completely forgiven him for almost looking up her skirt. They were now basically the best of friends for the last few weeks that they became teammates.
"Maya, we need to push them back!" Red calles out to his female companion.
"I got it!" Pink kicked on monster and pulled the string in her bow with three fingers. Trying hard, she was able to make three arrows appear at once. She didn't waste time and let go of the string. The arrows flew towards the monsters and pierced through them. Red followed by slashing a bunch of other monsters. Unfortunately, more monsters appeared.
"Oh my, what is this, a monster convention?" Red said as he and Pink readied their attacks.
"Sosuke!" Yellow called out once more. Sosuke then shifted his body but he didn't wake up.
"Ok so he's moving. That's good." Blue said.
"Kite! Behind you!" Pink yelled out to him. She pulled back her string and let go of it, letting an arrow fly through the air. It hit the Ryaku right in the chest sending him falling.
"Thanks!" Red said as he continued his assault.
"How many more?" Pink asked.
"I think we are almost done. They usually fine continue after we defeat at least two waves of them." Kite answered her question.
"Ok then! Let's finish these guys!" Pink called out and charged once more.
"You got it!" Red followed her. Man, she's so hot when she takes charge. Kite thought thought to himself. What the hell an I thinking about.
"Cmon ugly! I'm right here." Pink shot more arrows and hit more monsters. She continued getting head shots and chest shots.
"I'm going to destroy you guys easily." Red pulled up his sword and slashed as much monsters as he could with one slash. He continued slashing others with his sword.
Red then pulled out his Kemono Battery and inserted it into his sword. His sword lit on fire. He lifted it up in the air and prepared for an attack on a huge groups of Ryaku. He brought down the sword and sent flames flying towards the monsters. The monsters were hit and instantly burst on fire and died.
Pink pulled out her own Kemono Battery. She inserted it into her bow and the bow glowed pink. She aimed and pulled back the string of the bow. She felt the arrow appear on the bow. She smiled under her helmet as she let go of the arrow. As the arrow left it's resting place, it grew bigger and glowed a brighter pink. It hit a group of Ryaku head on and made them explode.
Red pulled up his sword and let it rest on his shoulders. Pink out down her bow and looked in at the fire that was left behind from the explosion. The fire glowed brightly in their visors. They stood next to eachother now.
Red took note at how close he was to her. He turned Red a little when she turned to face him. Luckily, she couldn't see under his helmet. Same went for him not being able to see her face. She also turned red. They then touched hands and lifted their hands up quickly, both turning as red as apples.
"So." Red began.
"So." Pink said back to him.
"We should probably check on Sosuke." Red pointed out.
"Oh yeah." Pink turned and began to move towards where Sosuke was. She demorphed and so did Red. Tsubasa and Madoka also had decided to demorph.
Kite and Maya both got on there knees as they saw Sosuke laying there, still unconscious. Sosuke's head still lay on Madoka's lap. Madoka tried shaking him awake but she had no luck. Tsubasa kept trying also but had no success.
After a couple more minutes of trying to wake him up, he finally did. He opened his eyes slowly and the first person he saw, was an angel. He could swear that this girl he was seeing was an angel from heaven.
"Am I dead?" Sosuke asked. The others have confused looks.
Sosukes vision eventually came back fully and he notoced that the angel was actually Madoka, who looked at him with worried eyes but a confused look. He then looked around and saw the others staring at him.
"What happened?" Sosuke asked.
"You acted like an idiot! Baka!" Tsubasa helped his brother up. Kite then helped his sister stand up.
"Did we win?" Sosuke said as he almost fell over. Tsubasa caught him.
"No we didn't. You need rest, now!" Tsubasa said, helping his brother stand straight.
"Yea, you tools a big hit." Kite said to him.
"I guess I can use the rest." Sosuke said.
"We'll see you guys tomorrow." Tsubasa said and with that him and Sosuke left the others behind.
"That was weird." Madoka said.
"Let's go." Kite turned around and yawned as he walked on. Madoka and Maya followed him.
"You didn't say anything to him, right?" Madoka whispered over to Maya.
"No, of course not. Besides, it's your business, I have nothing to do with it." Maya replied, shaking off the question.
"What are you guys talking about?" Kite said, his eyes closed as he walked.
"Nothing! Ani, it's nothing to be worried about." Madoka answered him.
"Mm, ok." Kite said.
"Almost blew it there. It's seems like he forgot about it." Madoka whispered over to Maya.
"Yea, I guess he did." Maya told her. They continued walking for a while and then they got to Maya's house. Her parents had come home a while back and that's why she'd been able to hang out with the others.
"Goodnight, Maya." Kite said to her. Her cheeks turned red a little.
"Goodnight, bestie!" Madoka called out.
"Goodnight!" Maya yelled back out to them. She waved goodbye and went into her house. As soon as he was sure that Maya got in and locked the door, Kite began to walk.
"So, Ani, did you forget about what I told you this morning?" Madoka had the feeling that she knew the answer but she wanted to confirm it. She was also afraid that he would remember and they would have a fight.
"No, I haven't but I can't do anything unless you tell me who he is." Kite answered.
"Really? Well, I'm not saying anything." Madoka assured him.
"Just tell me when you are ready." Kite said. Madoka looked at him and smiled. She knew that he would totally be mad once he found out everything so she had to take advantage of the moment.
Madoka quickly moved to her brothers side and took his hand into her own. She put her head on his shoulder. All Kite could think of was the good old days. He let his sister do whatever she wanted.
They walked on a while longer and after a while more, Kite carried a sleeping Madoka in his arms. Her head was against his chest as he had his arms on her back and legs in order to carry her the rest of the way home which wasn't that far. When they got to the door of their apartment, Kite put down his sister so that he could open the door. Madoka was only half awake.
When Kite opened the door, he let Madoka get in first but Madoka hugged him instead, putting her arms around his neck. Her head against his chest one last time. Kite smiled and remembered how she used to do this when they were kids. Great memories. He decided to do it even though he didn't want to. He half dragged her inside and closed the door. After locking it, he picked up his sister and let her rest in his arms as he went to her room.
After putting her down, Kite helped her take off her jacket and let her fall asleep on her bed. He covered her with her blankets and he sat there stroking her hair. She then had an upset face.
"Nightmare? Already?" Kite laughed quietly. He looked at his baby sister. She was holding his hand tightly. She was clearly having a big nightmare. Kite refused to move. He did have the temptation but he wanted to make sure that his baby sister slept soundly. He waited a couple of minutes and then he saw a big smile roll across his sisters face. He smiled to himself and let go of her hand. She shifted to the other side of her bed and Kite was able to leave. He left and closed the door quietly.
He walked into the living room, putting his own jacket on a chair followed by his sisters jacket. He sat down on the couch and prepared his blankets. He was too tired to change. He turned off the lights and lay on the couch which could turn into a bed. He could hear the cars outside. He stared at the ceiling. His baby sister was growing up before his very eyes.
"Tsubasa's right. Isn't he?" Kite whispered. He couldn't handle it anymore and he got up and went into what was his room. He still hung out in there but he had mostly boxes of stuff inside that he decided to just sleep in the living room. He would only occasionally go into his room to play video games or something.
He pulled out a box that had the words 'Kite and Madoka' written on the side. Kite opened the box and pulled out a few frames. They were pictures of him and his sister when they were younger.
"Stop growing, baby sis." Kite whispered. He looked at one of the photos of them at the amusement park. Madoka was crying and Kite was trying to calm her down. Madoka was always afraid of clowns and her parents apparently never knew that. Only Kite had learned thanks to the special bond that they grew. He looked at a few more photos and then out everything away.
Then something caught his eye. It was a photo of a young couple, clearly in their early twenties. It took him a few moments to realize that it was his mom and dad in the picture. He smiled. Madoka sure looked a lot like their mother. They stood in a flower garden. The flowers were beautiful and Kite remembered the story his dad told him about this garden. He then out away the phot and out away the box. He walked back out into the living room and got onto the couch bed. He closed his eyes.
*flashback*
"Kite!" Madoka called out to her brother. It was ten o'clock at night. She carried her teddy bear. It was a brown bear with a red bow tie. It was a gift that Kite won for her at a carnival once.
"Kite!" She called out again. She walked over to Kite's room and snuck inside. She looked around for her brother. She spotted him laying on his bed.
"Kite." She whispered as she got close.
"Yea." Kite woke up easily. He knew that his parents weren't around so he was in charge of his siblings.
"I had another nightmare." Madoka looked at him with sad eyes. Kite turned on the light to his room and saw her eyes.
"What was it about?" He asked her.
"It was about... clowns." Madoka remembered the nightmare. She then jumped onto Kite and hugged him tightly. He face against his chest as tears flowed out of her shut eyes. "It was so scary. They got mom and dad and then they got Gingka and Sophie and I was afraid that the clown was going g to get you too. I'm scared Kite."
Kite smiled as he patted his sister on her back. "You are thirteen years old already and you are still afraid of clowns." Kite didn't mean anything by it but at the mention of the word clowns, Madoka tightened her grip on his arms. He felt this and hugged her.
"I'm sorry." He whispered into her ear. He felt her crying into his shoulder now. He stroked her long hair. Madoka cried for about twenty minutes and Kite was now wide awake. He looked at his sister with worried eyes.
"Geez Speedy, that was long." Kite smiled at her. She hated that nickname but even she cracked a smile.
"I'm sorry if I woke you, Ani." Madoka said to him, still hugging her teddy bear.
"It's alright. I'm here for you. Anything you need. It's me and you vs the world right." Kite smiled. Madoka smiled back, tears still in her eyes.
"Of course. Always." Madoka said to him.
"So want to talk about anything." Kite said laying on his back. Madoka sat on his bed and looked up at the ceiling. She studied his room and saw the posters.
"You love soccer don't you." She said as she took noticed of a few soccer posters including big names like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He even had one poster of a Mexican soccer player, Javier Hernandez, better known as Chicharito.
"I mean why wouldn't I. It's an amazing sport. But what I meant was if there was anything about you that you wanted to talk about." Kite said looked at her.
"I just want to sleep." She said as she yawned.
"Then go to bed." Kite said to her getting up.
"But what if I get scared again?" Madoka began to think.
"Ok. Don't start think and going rogue on me. You can stay here for the night." Kite said, stopping her from having a panic attack.
"But then, where are you going to sleep?" Madoka worried for her brother.
"Don't worry about it. You stay on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor." Kite said as he got blankets out of his closet. He set up a bed on the ground and took one of the pillows off of his bed. Although, she didn't want to, Madoka got comfortable and lay down, staring at the ceiling, holding onto her bear.
"Kite?" Madoka asked as her brother turned off the lights and got into his blankets.
"Yea?" Kite said back.
"Thanks you." She said to him.
Kite stared at the ceiling. He smiled. "Your welcome." He said to her as she drifted off to sleep. He stayed up a bit more to make sure that she fell asleep. Once he was sure, he turned to his side and fell asleep.
*flashback ends*
"It took her this long to grow up." Kite smiled. "I'm not sure." He smiled again and almost laughed aloud. He let his thoughts continue until he was finally asleep.

Kite woke up to the smell of tea. He opened his eyes and looked around. Once he caught a glimpse of his sister, he got up and walked over to the kitchen. She finished poring the tea when Kite walked in.
"Good morning, sunshine." Madoka said happily.
"Good morning." Kite said, wiping his eyes with his hands.
"I made some tea and cookies." Madoka pulled out a fresh batch of Kite's favorite cookies, chocolate chip, from the oven.
"Woah, where did you have the time to do this." Kite asked surprised.
"I woke up early." She said happily.
"Don't you have school?" Kite remembered.
"Yea. We'll help yourself to the cookies and tea. I have to go change." Madoka left a plate of cookies and a cup of tea on the counter. Kite helped himself happily.
A few minutes later, Maya came out of her room wearing her school uniform. She wore a white blouse attacked with a sailor style collar. She wore her blue skirt and had her ribbon tied to look like a necktie. She wore her black penny loafers and she had knee length black stockings. She had her hair down and it went pass her shoulders. She carried her small pink backpack on her back.
"Ok I'm off." Madoka said almost speeding out the door.
"Wait!" Madoka stopped and went back inside, "Take some cookies." Kite threw her a bag full of cookies.
"Arigatou!" She yelled as she closed the door and ran down the stairs. In an instant she was gone. Kite smiled as he sat back. He took a few more sips of tea and then out everything away. He moved to his room and prepared to play some video games.

Sosuke woke up with a sore arm. He rubbed his arm as he got up and moved to his closet. He had to go to school. He took out the clothes from his closet and he got ready to put them on. He put on his black t-shirt and put on his school jacket. He buttoned it up. It had his schools logo on the right side of the jacket. He wore his black pants and out on a belt. He then put on his black and white sneakers. He grabbed his backpack from his desk chair and walked out without doing his hair.
"Are you ever going to change your hair style?" Tsubasa noticed Sosuke walk out with his hair all crazy and spiked more than usual.
"Are you ever going to stop being annoying?" Sosuke said as he picked up a muffin from the table.
"So, how are your studies?" Tsubasa asked him as he read the newspaper.
"If you expect me to say well, then you are mistaken. I'm not like you or that piece of shit." Sosuke said angrily.
"To whom do you refer to?" Tsubasa questions kept coming.
"You know who I'm talking about. He doesn't care about me like he does to you." Sosuke said taking a bite out of his muffin.
"Don't speak like that. Otosan loves you..." Tsubasa was cut off by a fist hitting the table.
"Don't give me that crap." Sosuke said to him, anger in his voice.
"What has gotten into you?" Tsubasa asked him, worried about his brother.
"Like you would care," Sosuke glanced at the clock, "I'm going to be late. See you later." Sosuke said and with that he left the house and walked to school.
"What is wrong with him?" Tsubasa said to himself. He sat dow and took a sip of coffee that he made. He learned how to make coffee when he was in America for a time.

Sosuke walked into the gates of his school. He looked up at the building. He sighed as he continued to walk. He saw all the other students enter the school. Some were running and others were walking calmly and socializing.
"Are you ok? You took a hard blow yesterday." Sosuke turned around when he recognized the voice. It was Madoka who stood there with a bright smile. Sosuke looked her in surprise. He never noticed how good Madoka actually looked in her school uniform. He may have even gulped when he saw her.
"Yea. You know me. Hard headed." Sosuke found words. Madoka walked on with him as they walked across the school yard.
"So, did you see anything about the monster that we could use against him." Madoka whispered over to him.
"I think I did. When we were going to charge at eachother, I noticed that he moved something on his chest. That may be the reason for why our attacks missed him. If we could target his chest and destroy the machine he has, then maybe he can't use it to stop our attacks." Sosuke told her as they walked on.
"Wow. Who knew you were actually smart." Madoka joked with him.
"Ha Ha, funny." Sosuke smiled at her laughter.
"Hey! Madoka!" Both Sosuke and Madoka looked over to see a guy with slick black hair call out to the girl.
"Romeo!" Madoka called out to him, "Sosuke, I'll see you later." With that, Madoka left Sosuke behind and met with the supposed 'bad boy'.
Sosuke sighed as he witnessed the hug Madoka shared with the boy. He stood there a while longer as he saw the boy walk off with his group and Madoka. He walked on, he needed to get to class on time.
Outside the school, Kite stood in a tree, looking through binoculars, trying to find his sister. Tsubasa has met him in the park and now sat on a bench under the tree. He helped Kite get into the tree. They both wore their uniforms.
"I can't see her!" Kite yelled over to Tsubasa who was looking through his phone.
"You shouldn't be doing this. If she finds out, she'll kill you." Tsubasa said to him in a calm tone.
"I don't care. She's still to young." Kite said as he continued looking through the binoculars.
"Look, we all feel the same as you, we don't want to see Madoka-Chan get hurt, but remember that you could also end up hurting her." Tsubasa continued sliding up on his phone. He was reading an article on politics.
"Look man, Madoka is my baby sister and if I want to worry about her like this, then you should let me." Kite said to Tsubasa who sighed in response.
After a while of silence, Kite saw something. "I see her! I see her!" Kite called out and Tsubasa stood up.
"What is she doing?" Tsubasa asked, concerned.
"I think... she's... leaving school!" Kite yelled as he stood up straight. He realized that it was a mistake and he lost his balance. He slipped off the branch he stood on and fell off the tree. Lucky for him, Tsubasa caught him.
"You see why I told you that climbing up the tree was dangerous." Tsubasa said as Kite fought him to let him go. Tsubasa let him fall to the ground and Kite felt the pain surge through his back.
"Whatever! She's leaving school. She was with a group of boys and girls who clearly looked like they were up to no good. We need to go now." Kite got up and began to run and he almost ran into Maya. He stopped himself and fell backwards.
"Are you ok!" Maya got down to see if he was alright.
"I'm... good." Kite said. He got back up again.
"What's wrong? Why are you in a hurry?" Maya asked him.
"Madoka is ditching school! We need to go now. Let's go Tsubasa!" Kite took Maya by the hand and pulled her along as he ran down the street. Tsubasa sighed and began to run after them.
They ran towards a neighborhood. Kite stopped and Maya stopped alongside him. Tsubasa has caught up and stopped as well.
"This is where I saw them come." Kite said as he dragged Maya along with him. Tsubasa studied the place and walked on.

"You stupid idiot." Zaku yelled at Yukeru with anger.
"Nani!" Yukeru screamed out at him.
"How could you retreat like that. And you still thought you could hide from me." Zaku stated.
"No no, that's not it. I just needed a breather, that's all." Yukeru put up his hands in defense.
"Next time you do that, I'll kill you myself." Zaku said and he walked out of the room.
"Well, now that that's over. We should get back to work." Baishisu said as he got out of his hiding place.
"Why were you hiding?" Yukeru asked him.
"Zaku is scary when he is angry. I prefer to hide when he wants to cause harm to someone." Baishisu said as he booted up his computer.
"I swear, next time I encounter those brats, I'll kill them all." Yukeru said as he prepared for another upgrade.
"If you say so." Baishisu said as he began the upgrade process.

Kite looked everywhere outside. He had gone ahead to other houses as Maya and Tsubasa stayed at the houses near the entrance they had entered through.
"So, where were you before you found us in the park?" Tsubasa asked Maya.
"I was leaving my younger siblings at their school. Then I decided that I would go and see Kite." Maya said.
"You wanted to see Kite." Tsubasa half smiled. Even he had to admit that the way those two are with eachother just makes them a good couple.
"Uh.. I mean I would have come and seen you but I thouht you were too busy to talk to me you know." Maya tried to play it off but she was already as red as a tomato. Tsubasa couldn't help but laugh. That was when he heard something.
"Cmon guys, we have t..." Tsubasa lifted up his finger to shut Kite up.
"I hear something." He whispered as he moved forward, motioning for the others to do the same. They got close to the entrance that they came in through and when they were close, they jumped out, trying to scare the person who was there.
"What are you guys doing?" Sosuke said to them.
"Sosuke! What are you doing out of school?!" Tsubasa asked his brother.
"Madoka wasn't in our math class and I got suspicious so I made up and excuse and left school." Sosuke said honestly.
"You do care!" Kite yelled out as he hugged Sosuke, almost choking him.
"Yea, now get off." Kite backed off and stood next to Maya.
"Fine, I will excuse it this once. Now where do you think they would take Madoka-Chan?" Tsubasa asked his younger brother.
"He has an older brother who owns a house near here. He takes all the girls there. And if we don't hurry up then," Sosuke paused as the others looked at him, "well, you know." Sosuke made gestures with his hand and Maya looked away as Kite looked at him confused and weirded out.
"Then let's hurry!" Kite finally got the gestures and turned around just in time to see someone from the boys gang come out of a house and walk towards them. Kite grinned evilly. They decided to hide and when the boy got near the captured him and brought him into their hiding place.
"Ok! Where is she?!" Sosuke yelled at him.
"I don't know what you are talking about!" The boy screamed in pain as Tsubasa pinned him to the ground and held his arm back.
"You know who! You think you are innocent. I've seen all the people you've bullied. Now, where is she?" Sosuke yelled at him one last time.
"Ok ok! She's in the house I just came out of. Romeo wants to get started with the process and sent me to the store to pick up a package. He didn't want any surprises in the future, if you know what I mean." The boy finished. Tsubasa continued to hold down the struggling boy.
"Oh shit! If this bastard doesn't show up with the thing, he'll probably do it anyway, despite what happens." Sosuke said.
"You bastard." Kite was about to punch the boy but Tsubasa managed to catch his hand and hold it back.
"It's not his fault. We just need to get in there and fast." Tsubasa said to Kite.
"I got an idea." Maya said and the others looked at her. "We make this guys take Sosuke into the house and Sosuke pretends that he wants to be a part of his gang. Then from the inside, Sosuke chase distractions so that we can get in a surround then and take Madoka back." Maya said and the others looked surprised.
"Wow! That's a great plan." Sosuke pointed out. Kite agreed.
"Ok! If we are all agreed, you my friend will help Sosuke get in and say that he wants to be apart of your gang." Tsubasa talked to the boy.
"No! We don't want him. He's already a part of the..." Sosuke hit t he boy, stopping him from talking. Tsubasa took note but he didn't have time to battle with Sosuke.
"You help us, and we won't hurt you. Got it!" Tsubasa said to him. Tsubasa then proceeded to start twisting the boys arm.
"Ok! OK! I'll do it!" Tsubasa stopped and let go if the boy. The boy sat up and held his arm.
"Good!" Kite said to him.
A while after that, Sosuke was inside the house with the boy. He was led into a room upstairs where Romeo sat with Madoka at his side.
"Boss! This guy wants in!" The boy said to Romeo.
"Huh? You want in. Aren't you a part of the..." Romeo was cut off.
"I want to be a part of your group." Madoka finally looked up and saw Sosuke. She was surprised, but she didn't say anything.
"Why?" Romeo asked.
"I heard what you do with girls. I want in. Especially with this one." Sosuke looked at Madoka. He studied her. He took in what she looked like. He would be lying if he said that she didn't look good.
"Hmm. I can let you in on other girls but not this one! This one is all mine!" Romeo looked over at Madoka. Madoka smiled.
"Cmon. I want to get at her." Sosuke said,
"Maybe I would let you, if you hadn't brought along your friends." Romeo snapped and two of his guys showed up with Tsubasa all beat up and Maya tied up. Both of them had duct tape around their mouths. Madoka was shocked.
"You bastard!" Sosuke was going to punch him but instead he was punched in the gut. He fell on the ground.
"Let's go!" He snapped his fingers. They let go of the others. "Except, bring the girl. I could have fun with her too." Maya's eyes grew bigger and the guys took her too.
When they were gone, Sosuke looked up at Tsubasa who was already untied.
"This better work." Sosuke said as he had his hands on his stomach.
"It will." Tsubasa said to him.
"What are you going to do to me." Madoka said as she walked alongside Romeo. They walked out of the house.
"We are going to have some fun, my love." Romeo said. Before Madoka never suspected anything but now he was taking Maya with them. Maybe he was a bad influence on her. Was she really going to let this guy take her purity.
As they walked, most of the gang talked and laughed. Then, unexpectedly, two guys were taken it by a hit on the neck. When everyone turned around they saw a man. Kite beat up the remaining boys that surrounded Maya and quickly grabbed her. He looked up at his sister.
"Kite! You set this up huh? So maybe I do want to go through with this." Kite looked at them angrily.
"I don't know what you are saying but let's go and get it done." Romeo and Madoka turned as they began to walk away.
"Speedy!" Kite called out.
Madoka stopped in her tracks and she turned to face her brother. She had an angry look on her face, but then she realized why he called her that. She remembered that it was his way of showing that he never ever stopped loving her. Even if she hated it, he would call her that. She came to learn that the nickname was just a way of showing how he cared for her. She knew that he would only use it if he knew that she was truly in danger. She looked over at Romeo who now stood behind her.
She took in a breath and without a doubt, she ran furiously towards Kite. Romeo didn't see this coming and the girl now was on her knees helping untie Maya.
"What the! Come back here now!" Romeo yelled at Madoka.
"Don't talk time my sister like that!" Kite got up and yelled back.
"I don't care. Get over here now!" Romeo tells dbefore he was punched in the face by Sosuke. Romeo fell to the ground. He held his jaw and he looked up at Sosuke. His boys went to his aid and helped him up.
"You'll play for this." One of the boys said as they walked off.
After Maya was untied. They all stood in a circle. Madoka was hugging her brother. She was crying. Maya stood there patting her back and Tsubasa and Sosuke looked at them.
"Don't ever call me that again." Madoka said to him.
"It was the only way that I knew you would know that he was a bad influence. All he wanted was your body." Kite said taking off his jacket and putting it on his sister.
"One question," Tsubasa was the one to speak, "how did she process that so fast. I mean, just the nickname and bam, she was instantly out of a trance or something. How?" Tsubasa spit out.
"It's the cheetah dna inside her. She can process her thoughts at who knows how fast. I knew that calling her Speedy, would bring her to remember what we did as kids before I stopped calling her by her nickname." Kite said to him.
"That's too simple of an answer and I'm still confused. It makes no sense at all." He said to everyone.
"It doesn't matter. What does matter is that Madoka is back where she belongs." Sosuke said happily. The others agreed and laughed a bit.
"Oh! What a touching reunion. But unfortunately, I'm going to have to cut it short!" Yukeru yelled as he appeared behind them.
"What are you doing here!" Kite yelled out at him.
"You see, I was in the neighborhood and I decided, 'why not destroy you now?'. So here I am!" Yukeru explained you them.
"Yea! We see that!" Sosuke said.
"Mina! Let's go!" Kite yelled out at his team. They all nodded and pulled out their Kemono Batteries. They inserted them into their morphers.
"Kemono Striker! Henshin!" They all yelled as they shot out their animal spirits. The spirits all flew into the air and hit the monster before turning back and going through the five rangers, forming their suits and helmets.
"Furious Tiger!" Red yelled as he punched the air quickly, "Kemono Red!"
"Killer Shark!" Blue said as he held one arm up and left the other down, "Kemono Blue!"
"Raging Bull!" Black said as he pointed both of his arms forward making him look like a bull, "Kemono Black!"
"Fast Cheetah!" Yellow said as she made a peace sign with her right hand in front of her face, "Kemono Yellow!"
"Immortal Phoenix!" Pink said as she made her arms look like wings, "Kemono Pink."
"Sutoraiku Sentai!" Red yelled as everyone got into position. "Kemonoranger!" They all yelled in unison.
"Let's go!" Red said as they all pulled out their Raiku Sabers and charged towards the monster.
"Ryaku!" Yukeru said as he snapped his fingers. The monsters appeared and began to charge as well. They all clashed.
Yellow and Pink fought off the regular Ryaku monsters. They slashed all the incoming ones and continued slashing the ones who stood by.
"You know, this is really fun." Yellow said as she continued fighting off monsters.
"Yea it is. Especially now that Kite taught me how to properly fight." Pink kicked a few more monsters down.
"Oh! Kite taught you huh?" Yellow giggle a little.
"Don't take it that way!" Pink yelled over to her.
"I can't stop now." Yellow said as she laughed and slashed more monsters.
Blue and Black battled the Gadora that had appeared. They slashed and blasted them. Blue was currently in a sword fight with one of them.
"Hey! How about we switch?" Black suggested to Kemono Blue.
"What do you mean?" Blue asked him.
"You give me your blaster with one of your batteries and I give you my saber with one of my batteries." Black told him.
"Sounds like a good idea." Blue said. They then out in their batteries into their weapons and quickly switched weapons.
Black ran down in a straight line, blasting monsters left and right. Blue continued his sword battle with the Gadora that were attacking him.
Red battled Yukeru. He tried hitting him from all directions but he failed in so many ways. He couldn't land a direct attack.
"Why can't I hit you." Red continued slashing but never landed a hit.
"Ha Ha! You can't stop me." Yukeru yelled as he hit Red in the chest.
"How!" Red yelled.
"Time to end you!" Yukeru yelled.
"Not so fast!" Black yelled as he came running in, aiming his blasters at Yukeru. He blasted him and sent him off balance.
Black quickly threw up his blasters and took out a Kemono Battery and put it into his morpher. A hologram of his weapo appeared over his morpher. His Bull Axe appeared and he held it tightly. Just as his blasters hit the ground, Black came in and hit him right in the chest.
Yukeru stopped back as sparks fell off of him. He looked down and saw that the machine he had installed was now broken. He began to freak out.
"How?!" He yelled just as Red had.
"You see, when I battled you before, I noticed that you were doing something with yourself chest. You kept moving those dials you had and had us miss our attacks. By using a high pitched rhythm, you were able to make those people attack eachother and you were able to make us not hit you directly. I mainly noticed when we clashed before I fell and went out like a light." Black explained to the dumbfounded monster.
"But, there's no way you could have figured that out!" Yukeru yelled at him.
"Well, I did. And now it's your end. Go ahead, Red." He nodded towards Kemono Red.
"You got it!" Red hit him playfully before summoning his own weapon.
"I got a great idea that I've been working on actually." Blue said as he regrouped with the others. Yellow and Pink following. He pulled up some schematics on his phone.
"Woah! What is that?" Red asked.
"It's a weapon made from all of our personal weapons if we combine them. I noticed this Kemono Battery and wondered what it was for and I learned that it will help with this." Blue explained.
"Then let's give it a try!" Red pulled out the Kemono Battery that Blue referenced as the others summoned out their weapons.
He inserted it into his morpher, pushed the weapon button and punched in a code along with other codes.

With that, the weapons all glowed and flew into the air. Yukeru looked on with worry. The Phoenix Bow proceeded to attack itself to the top of the Tiger Sword. The bull Axe then attacked itself to the bottom and it's sides came together to make it form a handle and a trigger. The Shark Sabers and Cheetah Claws attacked themselves to the sop of the bow, one on each side of the weapon.
"Kemono Canon!" Red yelled as he pointed it toward the monster. Blue and Black stood on each side of the weapon, holding it up so that it would hit its target perfectly. Yellow and Pink out their hands on Red's shoulders.
"This isn't going to turn out good." Yukeru said.
"Kemono Strike!" They all yelled as Red pulled the trigger and sent a huge bullet flying towards the monster. It hit Yukeru head on.
"At least I almost won!" He yelled out as he fell backwards and exploded. The others turned and posed, Red held the canon.
"Another one down!" Yellow jumped up with joy.
"We did it. And we can continue doing it, if Tsubasa thinks of more things like this canon." Red said.
"Yea well, all I did was experiment with an existing battery. Maybe I can create some new ones." Blue said putting his fingers to his chin.
"That's the spirit." Pink said.
"Yup. I guess we can become unstoppable." Black said as he stretched out his arms.

"Boss?" Zaku asked Jiku as Jiku closed his eyes.
"Well? What do we do now?" Baishisu asked.
"Do a better job on those monsters!" Jiku yelled.
"Of course sir!" Zaku said.
"Yes, that's what we will do." Baishisu said.
Jiku then pushed the red button on his chair. Outside, a tall steel tower appeared from the lake. It went up to be as tall as the trees. The red ball on the end then glowed and shot out a big red beam.
-0-0-0-0-
The red beam came out of nowhere and hit the remains of the monster. The remains began to go up as they came together and became bigger. Suddenly, Yukeru appeared again, as a big monster.
"Let's do this one more time!" He yelled as he came back to life.
"Oh shit!" Black yelled out.
"Quick! Call your Zords." Red said and everyone followed him. They all pulled out their zord batteries and inserted them into their morphers. They put in their codes and their zords were called as the batteries went to find them.
A few moments later, they appeared. They came running in. The Tiger Zord appeared first and attacked Yukeru head on. The Cheetah Zord helped as it attacked the monster as well. After they stopped, the Shark Zord jumped up and attacked followed by the Bull Zord and the Phoenix Zord.
Yukeru was sent flying backwards. The Rangers then jumped into the cockpits of their zords. They went in for another attack but this time, Yukeru used his newly formed machine and made them miss.
"What the!" Red yelled as the Tiger Zord crashed into the ground.
"He has his machine back." Yellow said.
"Then let's combine into the gattai. We should be able to find a better way of attacking him like that." Blue said to them all.
"Right!" Red said as he pulled out the combination battery. He inserted it into his morpher, pushed the Megazord button and inserted the codes.

The zords then all came together and began forming the big robot.
"Sutoraiku Gattai!" The big robot finished forming and stood in front of a black backdrop with the Kemonoranger symbol. "KemonoOh!" The rangers yelled.
"That isn't going to change a thing." Yukeru said to them as he prepared to attack.
"We must find a way to defeat him." Blue said as studied the monster.
"We just got to slash his box again." Black said.
"Easy to say. How are we going to do that." Blue said back to him.
"I got it! We distract him with our sword attack and then we use the Phoenix Wings on our back. We send the wings flying towards his chest. When they crash into him, it should explode the machine and then we can finish him." Red said to the others.
"Let's give it a try." Pink said.
"Let's do it!" Yellow said loudly.
The big robot pulled out its sword and prepared to attack. It moved forward and pulled its sword up. It moved forwards and bright down the sword.
"I don't think so!" Yukeru moved the dials on his chest.
"Are we sure it's going to work?" Tsubasa asked.
"I'm eighty percent sure." Red yelled as he continued.
The sword came down and missed. It landed on the ground and the robot was now halfway down. Yukeru laughed and that's when Red activated a button.
"Tricked you!" Red yelled out as he sent the robots wings fly off its back and sent straight into the monsters machine.
"What the!" Yukeru yelled again as the wings hit him directly sending him flying back and and destroying his machine.
"Got him! Let's finish it now!" Red yelled to the others. The sword lit on fire as the rangers prepared for their final attack. Yukeru got up in time to see this.
"Oh no!" He yelled.
"KemonoOh Final Fire Strike!" Red yelled as he made the sword go down. The animal spirits were sent flying out. They all attacked Yukeru at once.
"I'm down!" Yukeru yelled as he fell to his knees and exploded.
"That's the rhythm of the night." Red said. The others looked at him. "What?" He asked them.
"Nothing." Yellow said.
"Let's go home." Red said as he yawned.

Kite tossed and turned in his bed. He could hear people talking but he didn't want to wake up. He was having the best dream ever. He sat by the pool. He waited for Maya to show up. When she did, she was going to jump into the pool but then a huge scream was heard.
Kite opened his eyes wide and fell of his bed. He put his hand on his head and looked up to see Sosuke sitting on a chair in his school uniform. Tsubasa and Maya day around the table as well. Kite got up and walked over to them.
"What are you guys doing here so early?" He asked them.
"Move." Madoka said as she pushed Kite out of her way. She used the towel she had to wipe off some blood that Sosuke had on his head.
"Woah! What happened to you?" He changed his attention to Sosuke who looked pretty beat up.
"You know, just taking on some psycho bullies at school. Same old same old." Sosuke said as he winced in pain. Madoka was using hydrogen peroxide to make sure that Sosuke's wounds wouldn't get infected.
"Speedy, What happened?" Kite said. She gave him an angry look. It looks could kill, he would be dead. He smiled because he knew it got on her nerves. He was probably going to call her that again.
"Apparently, Madoka was in trouble. He stepped in to save her." Tsubasa said still looking down at his phone.
"I can already feel all the pain." Maya said.
"You guys are no help." Kite said to them.
"Romeo showed up at school. He tried to get back at me. Lucky for me, Sosuke was there and he protected me. He beat Romeo up and attracted a lot of attention from the students. Then he got beat up by Romeo's guys. They couldn't even hurt him as bad as he did to Romeo. He saved me." Madoka said as she was finishing up.
"Wow! I really am grateful for that." Kite said to him.
"Yup, he's a hero." Madoka said as she finished putting on a bandaid on his head.
"I'm no hero." Sosuke said.
"You are to me." Madoka told him and with that, she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Everyone looked at what had happened. Even Tsubasa had looked up from his phone. Sosuke's face turned red and Madoka giggled as she walked away to go pit her supplies back.
"You lucky bastard." Kite said as he got up and patted him on the back. "Better be grateful. Those kinds of things are rare." Kite said as he grabbed a glass of milk. The others smiled at that. Sosuke then touched his cheek. He was practically jumping on the inside. Madoka stood in the bathroom and giggled more as she heard Sosuke jump up in victory.

"What the hell was that!" Jiku yelled at his men as he shocked them with electricity comping from him.
"We promise it'll never happen again." Zaku yelled through his pain.
"Don't promise things that you can't show." Jiku said.
"Please, we promise." Baishisu said.
Suddenly, Jiku felt something. He stopped doing what he was doing and he turned around.
"You! What are you doing here!" Jiku looked at a figure standing by a wall.
"You all need help clearly." The figure said to them.
"And are you here to give it." Jiku said in a harsh tone.
"Of corse not. I'm here with a message." The figure said.
"What is it?" Jiku asked him. The figure stopped leaning on the wall and moved forward. The figures face appeared. It looked like a wilfs head. He had strange engravings all over his face. He had a scar that went through his left eye. He wore a black patch over his right eye.
"Kemono Red is mine!"
