A/N: I'm back with another chapter of Kemonoranger. I've been gone for a while, probably just a week, but I posted chapter 6 of Animal Strike so go check it out if you haven't. I hope you guys are enjoying and if you have any questions feel free to ask. Let's get into it.

(Disclaimer: I do not own Super Sentai, it is owned by Toei. I only take ownership for my own characters and ideas.)

Chapter 6: Clash of the Minds

"Ani, something is really bothering me." Madoka paced back and forth in the living room. Kite sat on the sofa playing with his battery.

"Yea. What is it?" Kite threw the battery in the air with his right hand and caught it with his left hand.

"You seem to be changing." Madoka finally sat down on the sofa next to him.

"How?" Kite stopped playing with the battery and looked over at his little sister.

"These past few days, you've seemed like a totally different person." Madoka took out her phone as she pulled up a picture.

"What's that?" Kite asked as he studied the image only to realize it was of himself. In the image, he was inside of a race car. He looked like he was ready to race.

"We went to watch a race. You jumped onto a race track when we got there and you got into one of the drivers cars. I kept yelling at you and asking you questions like 'What are you doing?'. All you said was that you were the 'Miracle Esumi' and then you drove off." Madoka put her phone down and crossed her arms.

"'Miracle Esumi'?" Kite looked up to the ceiling. He was confused.

"Then the other day, when we were fighting random Ryaku monsters, you kept talking about making it 'showy' or something like that." Madoka continued remembering what had happened the last few weeks. She remembered that fight perfectly.

"Showy?" Kites confusion kept growing.

"Yea. Oh! And this other time you were talking about rampaging and how we should bring out the power of our, I think you said 'Dino Guts'." Madoka out her index finger on her chin as she tried to remember the events.

"'Dino Guts'?" Kite got up as he felt worried. What could this all mean? All he could think of was that the other reds had something to do with this.

"I think being a Kemonoranger has really put a lot of stress on you." Madoka teased him knowing full well that her brother was capable of being a hero.

"It hasn't, I'm doing amazing. About those crazy moments, I think I know what is causing those." Kite got up from his seat and went to the kitchen.

"Ani! I'm worried about you." Madoka got up and went to the kitchen as well.

"There's nothing to worry about." Kite tried calm her down.

"Yes there is!" Madoka kicked the back of his leg causing him to stumble. She pushed him to the wall, turned him around, and held his wrists down so that he couldn't escape.

"This is weird, Madoka!" Kite tried to push her back.

"You need to ask Tsubasa for help." Madoka told him while looking him straight in the eye.

"I don't need his help!" Kite tried his best, but Madoka was stronger.

"Yes you do! I'm going to let him know." Madoka weakened her a grip a little. That's when Kite took his chance. Kite freed his left hand from her grasp and he began tickling her on side. She may be strong, but she's weak against tickling. Madoka held in her laughter but looked as if she would pass out if she did.

"Got you!" Kite kept tickling her and she broke. She burst into laughter and fell to the ground. Kite jumped over her and went straight to the door.

"Ani!" Madoka kept letting little laughs out.

"See ya later, Madoka!" Kite closed the apartament door and ran down the stairs. He knew exactly where he could go where he could think properly.

Kite walked down the street, trapped in his own thoughts. He had never known why the red rangers appeared. All he knew is that they continued to say the same thing. They always said that they appeared to help. Kite couldn't get past that. Although he hated to admit it, Madoka was right. Every now and then, Kite felt like he was losing consciousness in the middle of battles.

He had walked for a long time when he noticed that he was near a building that always caught his attention. He looked up to see the skyscraper tower the city. It once belonged to his family. He lost himself in his thoughts again. He began to remember his family. It was him, his sister, their younger siblings and their parents, but something felt wrong. It was as if something or someone was missing. He had never shaken off the feeling. Shaking himself from his mind, Kite came to a decision.

He pulled out his phone and contacted a number. He waited for the ring. The other person on the other side picked up. Kite sighed and thought about all the things that his sister would say when she found out.

"Tsubasa? I need your help." Kite said while he continued looking at the building.

"Kite-kun. What do you need help with?" Tsubasa sounded like he was already doing something.

"I'm having a problem with some," Kite paused and sighed, "some inner voices."

"Interesting. Well, we should meet at your place. Sosuke is having some event here at our home and I can't stay. I just can't stand his friends." Tsubasa admitted.

"Yea ok. I'll see you later then." Kite finished and hung up only to be tackled from behind.

"Ani. I'm still smarter than you." Madoka sat on Kites back.

"Madoka!" Kite yelled and Madoka laughed.

"Jiku-sama? What are you doing?" Kasuto walked into the main room as he saw Jiku go through some footage. He was stuck in his human form.

"I'm looking through archive footage of various, 'villains', so that I can see where they went wrong." Jiku answered without looking at the wolf man.

"Villains?" Kasuto seemed intrigued in the subject.

"Yes. These were the ones who fought against previous Super Sentai and Kamen Riders." Jiku continued his search.

"Super Sentai? Kamen Riders?" Kasuto started to stroke his chin.

"Yes, the 'heroes' of the planet." Jiku began to get impatient.

"Intriguing. Jiku-sama, would you mind if I took a look at this footage?" Kasuto asked in his gentleman like manner.

"Do whatever you please. I'm feeling sick and I'm going to bed." Jiku left the footage open and left. Kasuto moved the virtual screen to face him. He looked at it and he seemed extremely grateful. He had never know that he could do this.

Kasuto has learned how to use Baishisu's technology so he exited the current video that seemed to be very old. He opened a folder that was labeled "21st Century". Kasuto has noticed that not only were there villains of Sentai teams from the last, but there was also villains of past Kamen Riders. He heard about who the Kamen Riders were but he rarely cared about them.

He went through different files. He felt like he was absorbing so much data. He could see everything. Yet, he didn't feel satisfied. He had all this information, information to take down the Kemonorangers easily, yet he didn't fell like he could use any of this. He felt like it was useless. If those people had succeeded then the world would have already been destroyed a least ten times over if not more.

Kasuto also felt like this would harm his reputation. To the universe, he was a ruthless killer with no soul. He would kill anyone and even take payments to kill people. Kasuto was one of the most feared assassins in the universe. He always kept himself hidden and always made sure to cover up his tracks. He may be ruthless but he's also smart. That's what makes him dangerous. He alsways comes up with new ways of killing his targets.

He had an easy chance to kill the Kemonorangers, yet he didn't take it. Something held him back. He didn't know what it was. He had just left them there. He proceeded to turn off the virtual screen. He walked over to the box near Jiku's throne. He pulled out and inserted a USB drive into the box. After a few minutes, the light on the drive went from red to green. He pulled it out and held it in between his fingers. He put it in his side bag and left.

Zaku came out from the other door. He growled. He walked up to the box and activated it. He began going through the files himself.

"So what seems to be the problem?" Tsubasa was typing on his computer.

"I thought you guys would have figured that out. Let me be more precise, you should know what the problem is." Kite sat on the couch, looking up to the ceiling. Sosuke was playing his PlayStation as he heard the older boys talk.

"Yes. What I have noticed is that you have sounded different during some of our battles. You seem to change personalities. Am I right?" Tsubasa got up and walked to open the window of the kitchen.

"I always feel like I black out when we are fighting." Kite put a pillow behind his head.

"This all seems interesting. I'd love to see what happens inside your head but as you know, that's impossible." Tsubasa returned to his computer.

"So what am I supposed to do? Are you going to even help me with this problem?" Kite seemed concerned.

"I will help you. After I do this." Tsubasa got up once again and walked over to the couch. Tsubasa proceeded to put his hand on Kite's neck and after a second, Kite was out like a light.

"What did you do?" Sosuke asked as he watched what was happening.

"I put him to sleep. That's what I was looking for in my laptop." Tsubasa moved to the table and picked up a device. He put it on Kite's head and connected the cable that it had to his laptop.

"Ok, now I'm interested." Sosuke paused his game and put his controller down. He walked over to where Tsubasa sat and looked at what he had on his laptop.

"As you can see, these are Kite's brain waves. With this machine I got from America, I'll be able to hear any 'voices' that go through his head. That also includes hearing his dreams." Tsubasa swiftly typed on the keyboard.

"How can that machine do that?" Sosuke was confused at what Tsubasa was saying.

"I modified it. I am smart after all." Tsubasa chuckled at his remark.

"So how do you know it's working?" Sosuke asked.

"Good timing, look the waves are moving. Be quiet." Tsubasa said as what was being said in Kite's mind was being transmitted to his computer.

~Kite's Mind~

"He's waking up." Zyuoh Eagle stood over Kite as he opened his eyes. Red was the only thing that filled the room with little colors appearing out of nowhere.

"What's happening?" Kite put his hand to his head.

"That Tsubasa guy found a way to knock you out. He is currently listening to Shishi Red trying to sing." Magic Red pointed to the corner where Shishi Red sang really loudly.

"We figured that the machine he has is for listening in on us. We don't trust them to listen to us yet." Zyuoh Eagle said as he moved to his computer.

"Why? I thought you said that you were here to help us." Kite stood up from the ground.

"We said we would help you, not communicate to them." Deka Red crossed his arms.

"Isn't communication a key part when you are helpin someone?" Kite sat on one of the nearby chairs.

"That's true but we can communicate through you." Shinken Red spoke out from the corner.

"Why me?" Kite asked, confused to the fact that he was the one going through this.

"You were the perfect candidate for this. Plus, you are also a Red like us." Gosei Red explained.

"You guys are just using my body." Kite said in a depressing tone.

"Don't baby about it. You should be honored that you have us to help you." Gokai Red's angry tone was visible.

"Just don't go overboard." Kite said to them.

"We can't make promises. Now it's time to wake up!" Lupin Red kicked Kite's chair forward and Kite fell to the floor. He disappeared in an instant.

"Lupinranger! Did you really have to do that?" Patren 1gou asked the thief.

"No, but it was funny." Lupin Red held in his laughter.

~Outside of Kites Mind~

"Kite!" Sosuke slapped Kite for what could have been the fifth time.

"Stop that!" Kite punched Sosuke and sent him rolling on the ground.

"Finally, you are awake. It seems that all my device was getting was someone singing horribly. I kept hearing 'Kyu Kyuranger, Kyu Kyuranger'." Tsubasa explained his strange findings to the now awake Kite.

"Weird." Kite said, hiding the fact that he was in the very same room as the other Red Sentai.

"Well, the way it came out actually sounded kind of catchy." Sosuke stood up holding his head as he tried to regain his balance.

"So you found nothing?" Kite said as Sosuke proceeded to hum the song he just heard.

"Unfortunately, I haven't found anything yet. I'll study the brain waves and all that stuff that I recorded. I'll let you know if anything comes up." Tsubasa assured his companion.

"Yea, you do your scientist work and I'll go an relax." Kite walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" Sosuke asked.

"Well, after I admitted to Madoka that I needed help, she told me to meet her at the elementary school afterwards." Kite opened the door.

"Why would you need to go to see little kids?" Sosuke sat on the couch and picked up his controller.

"Actually, we are going to see our siblings." Sosuke stopped playing and Tsubasa looked up.

"I had no idea you had younger siblings." Tsubasa sat back in his chair.

"Yea. It's the first time that I'm seeing them in months. As you can tell, they don't live with us." Kites expression changed completely. His frown was visible as he looked down at the ground.

"If you don't mind me asking, why is that?" Tsubasa asked a risky question.

"They were taken from us because I wasn't seen as a suitable guardian. It all happened when my," Kite stopped as he felt tears build up.

"Go. They must be waiting." Tsubasa kept a nice smooth tone.

"Ok, I'm going now." Kite wiped his eyes and waved goodbye before closing the door.

"Wow." Sosuke sighed as he looked at the paused game screen.

Tsubasa sighed and could only imagine what it feels like. To have your family taken away. He could also imagine what Kite was going to say. He had decided to not go further and let it go. Tsubasa started working on his laptop again.

"This is amazing!" Madoka excitedly moved a little girl around in a circle.

"Onee-san! Stop!" The little girl laughed as Madoka stopped spinning her.

"Goumen. I'm just so excited that you got five different rocks. You win!" Madoka threw her hands into the air.

"What does she win?" A little boy ran up to her.

"Gingka! Sophie wins a piggy back ride!" Madoka picked up the little girl and let her climb on her back.

"I'm so happy to see them happy." A woman, about in her mid thirthies, talked to Maya near a door that led into the school.

"Yea, she loves them so much. When she called me to come, I was surprised but I accepted immediately. My siblings are just as energetic." Maya said to the woman.

"Well, I'll let you to it, I have to take care of the other kids. I'll let you know when recess is over." The woman, who was clearly a teacher at the school, told Maya as she walked to the other side of the blacktop where the other kids were playing.

"Maya-Chan! Come and play with us!" Madoka called out to her friend.

"I'm coming." Maya walked over to where the others were. She then heard someone coming. When she looked up, she smiled.

"Onii-Chan!" The little boy, Gingka, yelled as he ran to Kite.

"Onii-Chan!" Sophie got down from Madoka's back and ran behind Gingka.

"Hey guys." Kite got down on one knee and caught both of them in his arms.

"Onii-Chan. It's been so long." Kite felt his little sister begin to cry.

"Yea. It's been so long." Gingka couldn't hold back his own tears.

"Don't cry. You're going to make me cry." Madoka came to them and got on her knees and hugged her siblings. Maya smiled and took out her phone. She took a photo of the family hug.

"Well, how much time do we have?" Kite said as the hug was broken up.

"We have fifteen minutes." Gingka said.

"Are you sure." Kite smiled as he messed up his younger brothers hair.

"Yea!" Sophie turned red.

"Liar." Kite laughed as he pointed at his sister. Sophie was horrible liar because she always turned red.

"Sophie." Gingka sounded disappointed.

"Goumen." Sophie apologized.

"Cmon, let's not waste time." Kite grabbed his siblings and brought them over to where a soccer ball was. He began to play with it and passed it to them. Madoka joined in and within minutes, they were stealing the ball from eachother and laughing as they did.

After a few more minutes of playing, the teacher announced for everyone to get ready to go back in. The younger Tategami siblings began to tear up. Kite gained a frown and moved over to them and got down to their eye level.

"What's wrong?" Kite asked as he wiped their tears.

"We are never going to see you guys again, for a long time." Gingka wiped his eyes. Madoka gained a frown of her own, but she stayed strong. Maya rubbed her arms as she stood there to support her.

"Of course we'll see eachother again. It may not be soon but," Kite was cut off by Sophie who hugged him tightly.

"Kite, don't leave." Sophie said to her older brother. Kite stroked her hair as he hugged her back.

"It's ok. We are always with you." Kite said to them as he gave them a smile.

"We want to go and live with you and Madoka." Gingka was almost demanding.

"You guys can't. At least not yet. I promise I'll find a way." Kite told them as he fought back his own sadness.

"We want to." Sophie told him.

"Guys, look at this," Kite took out two bracelets. One was red and the other one was yellow.

"What are those?" Gingka wiped his tears.

"These bracelets are a way for us to be with you. Gingka will wear the red one which has me and Sophie gets yellow because that one has Madoka. With these, we will always be with you, no matter what. I want you guys to take care of them and be strong. These bracelets also make you stronger." Kite smiled as he told them something that would help them.

"Really?" Sophie looked at the bracelet.

"Yea. We will always be with you. Now go with your friends. I can already hear the teachers." Kite messed up the little kids hair as he smiled more.

"Ok. Bye Onii-Chan," they hugged their brother and moved to their sister, "Bye Onee-Chan. Bye Maya." The little kids waved goodbye to Maya as they ran to meet with their fellow classmates. Kite, Madoka and Maya waved goodbye and left the school as soon as the children were inside.

"What you did was great Kite." Maya said as she put her hands behind her black skirt that she decided to wear.

"I barely got to see them for a few minutes." Kite said as he felt Madoka put her her arm in between his arm and body all while keeping her head down.

"Why's that?" Maya asked with curiosity.

"I'm sure you've noticed that I've been acting weird lately," Kite waited for Maya's nod then continued, "I went to Tsubasa to see if he could help me with the problem but so far, he couldn't find anything."

"Oh, I understand then." Maya smiled at him.

"Ani?" Madoka said in a low voice.

"Nani?" Kite responded.

"I want to bring them home. Please, Ani, please!" Madoka school her brother.

"Hey, stop that." Kite took his hands and put them on Madokas shoulders.

"I want them to come home." Madoka began to cry.

"Me too but we can't just bring them home." Kite said to her.

"Please! Please!" Madoka began to plead.

"Madoka." Kite said in a low voice as he grew concerned. Maya was also concerned.

"I want my family to be whole again." Madoka said through her cry. Kite brought her closer to him and hugged her tightly. He also felt tears start up but stayed strong for his sister.

"Everything's going to be ok." Kite stroked Madoka's long hair. Madoka continued to cry. Maya placed a hand on Madoka's hand as she felt the sadness grow inside her.

"Kasuto, why are you lost?" Zaku slapped Kasuto's back, bringing him back from his thoughts.

"I'm just thinking to myself, no big deal." Kasuto said to the dog monster that stood behind him.

"Well, the one you called is here." Zaku said as he pointed to the monster in the corner of the room.

"Ah! Yes Sai." Kasuto said the monsters name as the monster roared.

The monster had a black body with green markings that looked as if they were for counting murders. He had knives coming out of the top of his arms. His face looked like a demons face. He had a mask that looked like a bat that he put on to cover his face. He had little horns coming out of his head. He had a symbol on his chest that probably represented various murder weapons.

"Sai?" Kasuto walked over to the monster.

"You called me over here, now what do you want." Sai walked over to the bar that was set up. He slammed his fist on the table signaling the monster that was there, Baishisu, to give him a drink.

"I called you so that you can help Jiku-sama with his problem." Kasuto explained.

"There's one thing wrong. It's not my problem." Sai moved away from the bar and drank from the bottle he took.

"Just help him with his 'hero la problem, then I'll pay you." Kasuto caught the monsters attention.

"Depends on how much." Sai drank from his bottle again.

"We'll talk payment after you complete your job. You have a tendency to not follow through with your promises." Kasuto crosses his arms.

"Bullshit! How dare you insult me and say a bunch of crap." Sai threw the bottle towards the wall.

"Stop fighting you pathetic excuse for a monster." Jiku entered the room and witnessed everything.

"Why you little," Sai let his knives grow and ran towards Jiku. Jiku dodged the monsters attack and kicked him from behind.

"You work for me now." Jiku made sure to make the monster know it's place.

"I don't work for anyone, but if a price is mentioned, then I'll be happy to provide my services." Sai stood up like nothing happened.

"Kasuto said that you know how to make psychos. Is that true?" Jiku seemed interested in the monster in front of him.

"Maybe." Sai stretched his hands out as he talked.

"I am in no mood to play your games. Is it true or not." Jiku was annoyed with the monster that stood proudly.

"Wow, intimidating. To answer your question then, I can." The monster puffed out his chest.

"Good. Get to work before I get angry. I'm already tired of this human form." Jiku's darkness began to leak from his body. The monsters in the room all felt this and all decided to move out. Jiku sat alone with a frown. He wasn't happy. He hated humans ever since he lost those closest to him. He gave up his humanity long ago and promised to extinguish the planet of those foul creatures.

The darkness kept leaking and steam began to rise. His anger was rising and the darkness filled the room. He was at his peak. He was about to blow but he managed to calm himself down with thoughts of his past. When the darkness had subsided, he got and made himself a drink.

~4 years ago~

"Nice flower." A young girl, around thirteen years old, said as she looked at a bright yellow sunflower in the bushes. She wore a yellow shirt with a white skirt. She also wore brown boots and black knee socks. Her hair was going down to her shoulders.

She waited outside of a store. She studied the flower with so much curiosity. Her innocence was visible as she sung a song. She tried her best to cut the sunflower off the bush but had no luck so far. She was then overshadowed. When she noticed, she turned to see a group of older boys staring at her.

"Hello there girl. How about you come with us?" The boy in the middle said as he licked his lips. He spoke English and the young girl took note of that.

"No. I'm waiting for my Aniki." She told them with a brave voice, also speaking in English.

"Don't fight it girl. Now come with us." The boy launched his hand forward as the girl screamed. The boys wrist was then caught. The boy felt pressure on his wrist and he began to scream in pain. His hand was lifted up and he caught a view of who caught him. In front of him was a boy who was about eighteen, wore a black shirt with a red hoodie over it, blue jeans and black and white converse.

"Leave her alone." The boy said as he twisted the other boys wrist and pushed him towards the other boys.

"You'll pay for this." The boy seemed to be crying as he walked away rubbing his wrist. The other boys have glares as they walked off.

"Kite." The boy turned to see the younger girl hug him.

"Madoka. You can't be alone out here. This isn't Japan. Here in America, the boys are rough. We may know English but that won't help against them." Kite explained to his young sister as he spoke to her in Japanese.

"I know Ani. I was just looking at the flower." Madoka looked at the flower and tried to take it off. When she struggled again, Kite moved her to the side and picked out the flower.

"A beautiful flower." Kite examined the flower. He then turned to his sister and put it in her hair. She smiled at her brother and he smiled back.

"Arigatou." Madoka said in a nice tone.

"You look like Kaa-san." Kite remembered how his mom looked whenever his father put a flower in her hair.

"Really." Madoka's eyes seemed sad but happy.

"We will be fine. I want you to know that." Kite out his hands on his sisters shoulders as he looked her straight in the eye.

"I know." Madoka said to him.

"Now, I got the tickets. We leave for Japan on Sunday morning. Let's go back to the hotel." Kite grabbed his sisters hand and held it tightly as he directed her. She followed behind him, admiring the beauty of Los Angeles. Well the beauty that was in their area. Downtown was probably a different story even thought they both liked going to downtown Los Angeles.

After taking the bus up to Hollywood, they got off and made way for the nearby hotel. When they got to their hotel room, they walked in and locked the door. Madoka made way for a bed as she jumped on it. Kite smiled as he sat on the couch. His sister immediately turned on the t.v. and changed the channel to watch Disney Channel. She was a big fan of that.

Kite opened up his laptop and found an interesting document that was opened. He read what it said:

Once he rises, he will be a challenge. If he evolves, he will be impossible to stop. What do you say? Do you want to save the world?

Kite sighed as he closed the laptop and looked over at the window. He saw birds pass by and took in the view of the Hollywood sign. He grew a concerned look but was brought out of his thoughts by his sister.

"Ani, come and eat some Doritos before I finish them. Also, this show seems very interesting. Help me understand it." Madoka are from a bag of Doritos that she had grabbed. Kites favorite snack.

"Fine, but if you don't understand it by the end, then you are watching a soccer match with me tonight." Kite said as he sat on the empty side of the bed. He grabbed the bag from Madoka and ate some of the chips.

"Deal." Madoka said and surprised Kite. She then took the bag from him and smiled as she ate.

"Hey!" Kite laughed as she almost choked on her chip, laughing.

"Stop!" Sosuke yelled as Tsubasa tried putting a machine on his head.

"It's for science." Tsubasa said as he used his force to push Tsubasa back.

"I don't want to." Sosuke then blew steam out his nose and launched Tsubasa at the wall. Tsubasa fell to the floor as he felt the room spin.

"Tsubasa!" Maya yelled as she entered the house. Kite following her with Madoka sulking behind him.

"What was that about Sosuke!" Kite yelled at him as he let go of Madoka's hand and went to help Tsubasa stand up.

"Good, you're here."'Tsubasa stood up as if nothing happened. He moved over to his computer and typed in something.

"Did you find something?" Kite asked.

"Oh, he found something and then he tried to test me on something. I was afraid for my life." Sosuke sat and let out a huge breath.

"Yes, apparently you may just have inner voices but I can't quite understand them yet. I could here background chatter when I listened slowly to the singing man." Tsubasa typed some more.

"Really?" Madoka appeared in between Kite and Maya, scaring them.

"I thought you were," Kite cut Maya off by putting his hand up.

"What can you say about these voices?" Madoka asked Tsubasa.

"These voices," Tsubasa was interrupted as his computer showed an alert.

"What is that?" Kite asked as he looked at the screen.

"It's an alert. It warns me of any monsters that are attacking. I'll have a version for you guys soon. For now let's go." Tsubasa stood up, still a little dizzy, but he managed to run out the door. Everyone else followed as Sosuke groaned.

After fifteen minutes, they get to a city plaza. What they see when they get there horrifies them. People attacking people. Many of them held various things and used them as weapons as they fought eachother. Others ran from people that chased them.

"What's going on?" Maya was in total shock.

"I don't know, but I'm sure a monster is behind this. Henshin just in case." Tsubasa said and they all morphed and jumped off the bridge they stood on. They tried to stop the fighting but were unsuccessful.

"Stop fighting!" Black grabbed a man and threw him to the side. He helped the woman on the floor up and let her run off.

"They look like they have rage in their eyes." Red said as he pushed against a person.

"Yea. We need to stop them." Yellow said before she was kicked on her side. When he looked over, she saw Ryaku monsters as they rushed towards them.

"Looks like we have visitors." Pink said as he pushed a woman and a man apart.

"Let's destroy them fast and stop these people." Red pulled out his Raiku Saber and slashed the minion monsters that came at him.

"Shall we?" Red heard a voice in his ear before feeling like he was knocking out. From his number emerged the symbol of the Zyuohgers. It backed up into his body and he felt a surge of power.

"I'm a tiger this time." Zyuoh Eagle said as he took over Red.

"Kite, what's wrong?" Pink asked. Red ignored the question and started attacking with his Tiger Sword. He slashed back and forth and jumped off of trees and benches. He tried flying but he fell to the floor.

"I don't have wings." Red said as he got up from the ground.

"Let me take over." Red heard a voice once again.

When Red stood up, the symbol of the Dekarangers appeared in front of him. The symbol then backed up into his chest and he felt power surge once again.

"I'll take care of this!" Deka Red said in Red's body.

"Why are you yelling?" Black asked.

"I got this! But one blaster won't do." Red pulled out his blaster and ran over to Black. He took Black's blaster and began blasting the monsters back. He jumped into the air and blasted more.

"Ani?" Yellow seemed concerned as Red passed by her, blasting the monsters in his way.

"Come out you big bad!" Red yelled as he finished off the last of the monsters.

"Looks like I have to come out sooner than expected." Sai came out from behind building pilar. He seemed confident but he was immediately shot in the chest.

"I'm taking you down!" Red yelled again as he ran towards the monster and blasted continuously.

"How in the?" The monster fell backwards.

"Kite, are you alright?" Pink asked Red who had fallen to the ground.

"Stop it!" Kite yelled from inside his mind.

"I'll take care of it." Suddenly the symbol of the Boukenger appeared and backed itself up into Red's chest.

"What's wrong with him?" Black asked as they all got close. Red then jumped right back up with ease.

"Alright! Attack!" Red snapped his fingers and pulled out his Tiger Sword once again as he ran towards the monster.

"Did he just snap is fingers at us?" Pink tilted her head in confusion.

"Time for you to go down." Red moved his sword around with no problem, landing hits on the monsters chest.

"I'm getting tired of this." Sai finally caught an attack with his knives and he kicked Red sending him flying.

"Kite!" Yellow ran to where he was sent.

"Ok guys, get him." Blue commanded. Black and Pink followed him as they clashed.

"You guys can't beat me!" The monster hit the Rangers with ease, causing sparks to fly out of them.

"Kemono Kick!" Red appeared as the symbol of the Gekirangers backed up into his chest.

"You little pest." The monster shot a needle towards red, who had somehow deflected it and sent it flying somewhere else.

"You can't take me down that easily!" Red used his hands to fight off the monster. It was like watching a kung fu movie.

"I'm retreating for today. You already are Psycho!" Sai disappeared in a cloud of darkness.

"That's right and stay away." Red said before he collapsed and demorphed.

"Kite! What's wrong with you?" Black turned Kite so that he faced up.

"Take him to his house." Blue called out.

"Why me?" Black turned to where the other two were.

"Because we also have to take Madoka." Blue said as he got down to Madoka who was already demorphed and had a needle like object sticking out of her neck.

"We need to hurry." Pink said as she helped Blue pick up Madoka. Black picked up Kite and held him on his back. The Rangers left for the Tategami's apartment home.

As soon as they got there, they put Madoka in her room and Kite on the couch. Tsubasa looked for any emergency supplies and began trying to heal Madoka. Sosuke tried his best to wake Kite up but it was as if he was dead. He was still breathing and that's what gave Sosuke the will to keep slapping him. Kite made a face of discomfort the more he was slapped but it wasn't being caused by the slapping.

Inside his mind, Kite was fighting with the other Reds. Kite didn't like that they were just stepping in whenever they wanted to. Kite was not only angry but worried. He was able to witness that his sister was hurt.

"You guys can't just take over my body whenever you want. Besides, you guys have different ways of thinking and that's why my sister got hurt. You guys act totally different and it's dangerous to those around me." Kites anger was present in his tone.

"We promised to help you. You never asked for specifics." Lupin Red sat on a chair and he put his legs up on the chair in front of him.

"That doesn't give you the excuse to just pop in whenever!" Kite yelled, surprising the other Reds.

"Maybe you just don't want our help." Magi Red shrugged as he spoke his thoughts.

"You can help but you can't take over my body. What don't you guys understand about that." Kite's hair moved down to cover half of his right eye.

"Don't start something you might regret." Gokai Red stopped leaning against the wall.

"What are you all doing?" Kite realized that some of the Reds were getting closer.

"Mina, stop that." Zyuoh Eagle tried to calm the situation down but the other Reds seemed ready for a fight.

"Come at me." Kite whispered but it was loud enough for them all to hear.

After a minute of silence, Gokai Red made the first move as he tried to slash Kite. Kite dodged and kicked him back taking the sword from his hands and throwing it at his chest. Sparks flew from the pirates suit as he fell. Lupin Red made a move next as he tried to tackle Kite. Kite spun around and kicked Lupin Red from behind. He felt the presence of somebody else.

Kite turned around to catch Go-On Reds punch. Red used his strength and sent the racer stumbling into the wall. Shinken Red took out his sword and attacked. He had actually managed to harm Kite sending him into the wall. Kite had closed his eyes as he felt the pain surge through him. When he opened his eyes, they were Red. He got up and roared before attacking the samurai in front of him.

Outside, Sosuke noticed Kite was in a state of discomfort. He tried to shake Kite awake again but it didn't work. He sat Kite up and slapped him again. When he pulled his hand back for the third time, Tsubasa caught it. Sosuke looked at his brother as he stared at the situation.

"I'm trying to wake him up." Sosuke said innocently.

"That's not how you do that." Tsubasa moved Sosuke to the side and began to study Kite. That was when he heard a scream from Madoka's room. He got up and ran towards the screams.

"Madoka. Stop. Please." Maya was running out of breath. Tsubasa entered the room and witnessed what was happening. Madoka has woken up. Her eyes were red and she had black circles all around her eyes.

"Madoka-Chan! Stop that!" Tsubasa went over to the bed and was able to loosen Madoka's grip to let Maya out. Maya fell to the floor.

"Death! I'm going to kill you all!" Madoka jumped out of bed and jumped out her window. When Tsubasa went over to find where she landed, she was gone.

"Maya! Are you alright?" Sosuke came into the room and helped his teammate stand up.

"Yes. But it hurts." Maya rubbed her neck. There was a big red mark.

"Madoka couldn't have gotten far. You stay here with Kite. For some reason he won't wake up. That'll give you time to heal up a bit. I'll check it out note throughly when I get the chance but it doesn't look bad." Tsubasa got closer to take a look.

"Just get her and calm her down." Maya said as she felt her neck.

"Sosuke. Let's go." Tsubasa said as he picked up his jacket from the bed.

"Yea." Sosuke followed his brother out the door, closing it behind them. Maya moved over to the couch where Kite was still asleep. He had fallen over to his side. May quickly lifted his legs up onto the couch so that he wouldn't fell bad later. She then moved to the dining room and sat down, rubbing her neck.

Madoka ran through the streets. She bumped onto everyone on her way and didn't apologize. She had the same look in her eyes. The look she had in her room. She had a particular destination in mind and kept going. When she got to the entrance of where she was going, she looked at what was inside. It was a cemetery. She walked in and walked past people who were visiting their loved ones.

After a couple of minutes, she got to a big tombstone. It was a huge white cross and it was in the middle of the cemetery. She looked at the name that was engraved in the tombstone. Tears escaped her eyes and began falling like rain drops. She let herself fall to her knees and read the name again. In big print was "Tategami". Below the name were smaller names. On the left side was "Doji" and on the right side was "Eva". There was also a message on the tombstone, written in Kanji and Latin.

Madoka cried loudly, capturing the attention of people nearby. As she continued to cry, a man approached her. She looked up at the man and saw hatred in his eyes. Her eyes just glowed more brightly.

"Your family ruined my life. And you are going to pay for it." The man clenched his fist.

Tsubasa and Sosuke ran down the street looking everywhere for Madoka until they heard a scream that seemed to reach half of the city. They ran to the source and when they got to the location, they saw Madoka choking a man out. The man tried to get her to let go but her strength was too much.

"Madoka! Stop that!" Tsubasa yelled. The girl turned to him and let go of the man. The man ran away, stumbling as he did. Madoka ran off in the other direction and jumped over a wall.

"No!" Sosuke realized that they wouldn't find here easily.

"Tategami." Tsubasa whispered as he looked at the grave. He then saw a picture on the grave. He picked it up and studied it.

"Let's go Tsubasa!" Sosuke was already running down to the entrance.

"Right behind you!" He yelled before putting the picture back, bowing in front of the grave and leaving.

They continued to look for Madoka. They had managed to find her in a couple of places but she always escaped, leaving behind unconscious bodies. When they come red her she had decided to fight them. It wasn't going to be easy. She had managed to overpower them and escaped. The boys were ready to chase again but were inturupted by Ryaku.

"Great." Tsubasa tolled his eyes and began to fight them. Sosuke followed and they punched as much as they could. They continued fighting until Sai appeared and hit them hard.

"I got you now." Sai said before Madoka appeared and kicked him in his face. She let her hair fall into her face as she fought against the monster.

"Maya, wake Kite up and get over here quickly!" Tsubasa sent a message to Maya and got up in order to help Madoka.

-0-0-0-0-

"Kite. Wake up please. They need us." Maya pushed Kite but he wouldn't wake up.

Inside his mind, Kite continued to fight the Reds. The only ones who weren't fighting were Zyuoh Eagle, Aba Red, Hurricane Red, Shishi Red and Gosei Red. He struggled but every time he seemed to get a power boost and he sent the reds flying easily.

He fought off the ones who ran up to him. He punched them all and then kicked them all. He felt rage grab a hold of him as he continued beating them all. The reds then all managed to circle around him and they went if for attack. That was when Kite snapped. He sent the reds flying in all directions again.

"This is my mind!" Kite yelled as red energy burst out of his body. The other Red witnessed this and stopped. They relaxed as they saw Kite's energy rise and spread throughout the room.

"You are right." Zyuoh Eagle said. Kite then calmed down and his energy subsided.

"Nani?" Kite wanted to hear what he said again.

"We have no right to just take over whenever we want. From now on, if we want to take over, you should be able to call upon us." Zyuoh Eagle st back in his chair.

"Yea. That's the truth." Gosei Red spoke up.

"Good." Kite said as he looked at the Reds he had battled. They all nodded even if they didn't like it.

"If you ever need us, just call out our Sentai team name and we will take over." Zyuoh Eagle got up and went over to shake Kite's hand. "There's no need to fight or have a clash of minds."

"Right." Kite nodded and smiled.

"Now go. Your friends need help. Your sister needs help." Zyuoh Eagle said to him. Kite nodded and disappeared.

Outside, Kite awoke and saw Maya in front of him. She was on her knees and she fell back when he woke up. She head a bucket of water and a towel in her hand. Kite sat up and felt a headache.

"Let's go. My sister is in trouble right." Kite moved for the door before Maya's hand caught his.

"Are you sure you are ready to go?" Maya asked.

"Of course. She's my sister. I can't let her become a psycho." Kite opened the door and grabbed Maya's hand. He closed the door as they exited and held onto Maya as they left. They ran down the street.

After a few minutes, they made it to where the others were. Madoka was busy fighting Sosuke. Tsubasa was trying his best to fight the monster but he seemed tired. He continued but made a bad move, resulting in the monster punching him and sending him flying back. Kite had managed to catch him before he fell to the floor.

"You stayed up all night looking into the Sentai database, didn't you?" Kite shook his head.

"About time you woke up." Tsubasa took hold of Kite's hand which was reached out. Kite helped him stand up and Sosuke rolled over to their feet. He stood up quickly.

"Stop her!" Sosuke yelled.

"Get them my minion!" Sai laughed as he pointed at the Rangers.

"You just kicked him in the face. Why are you on his side all of a sudden." Sosuke said as he felt his sweat fall down his forehead.

"Madoka!" Kite got his sisters attention, "Gotta Catch Them All." Kite smiled as he put his finger up, signaling the number one.

"Nani!" Sosuke was confused. Maya and Tsubasa also looked at Kite.

"Kite." Madoka said as she stared at him.

"What are you doing! Get him!" Sai got closer. Madoka looked over her side and in an instant, she kicked the monster.

"Nani!" Sosuke said once again. Madoka then moved over to join them.

"What's going on!" Sai said as he got up.

"You may have her under your control but she's my sister. You can't change that. We understand eachother. We've been through hard times and you are just a small problem. Even if we clash minds, it doesn't change the fact that we love eachother. Just as family should." Kite told the monster.

"I'll kill you!" Sai prepared first battle.

"Let's go." Madoka said in a quiet voice.

"So you are on our side?" Sosuke asked. Madoka then growled at him and he felt chills run down his spine.

"Kemono Striker!" Kite yelled as he inserted his Kemono Battery into his morpher.

"Tiger!"

"Shark!"

"Bull!"

"Cheetah!"

"Phoenix!"

"Henshin!" They all yelled as the morphers finished calling out the animal names. Their animal spirits appeared as they attacked the monster and returned to them, forming their suits.

"Kemono Red!" Red yelled as he posed.

"Kemono Blue!" Blue yelled as he posed.

"Kemono Black!" Black yelled as he posed.

"Kemono Yellow!" Yellow said as she posed.

"Kemono Pink!" Pink yelled as she posed.

"Sutoraiku Sentai!" They yelled as they got into positions, "Kemonoranger!"

"Cheetah Claws!" The morpher said. Yellow moved first as she attacked the monster. The others summoned their own weapons and began to fight the monster.

"I won't let you win!" Sai yelled as he stabbed them all. Black then attacked Blue while Pink attacked Red. Sai was laughing before getting him by Yellow. Yellow continued her battle and moved swiftly. She managed to find a opening and activated her cheetah speed. Time stopped and she moved around punching him.

Within thirty seconds, she had hit the monster a total of one hundred times. When time resumed, the monster felt all the hits. He fell to his knees before flying off to the side. Madoka yelled as she attacked the monster with her claws. She attacked with no mercy and she kept hitting him.

She finally let him go and pulled out her Kemono Battery. She entered it into her claws. "Cheetah!" The morpher yelled as her silver claws glowed yellow. She then ran as fast as she could before jumping and spinning in the air. She gained more speed before hitting the monster. Her claws went through him and she passed by him. When she stopped spinning she landed on the ground a little far from the monster. She was on one knee and her head was down.

"You... bi," the monster blew up before he could finish what he was going to say.

"Tch." Yellow got up before feeling like something was being lifted off of her.

"Madoka." The others had returned to normal and they came over to Yellow.

"Mina? What happened? Why am I morphed? Why am I fighting?" Yellow seemed confused.

"I'm glad your back." Red hugged his sister.

"Ani?" Yellow was confused but she hugged him back.

Up on a rooftop, Kasuto seemed bothered but he prepared his sniper. He aimed and then he fired his shot. The bullet pierced through the monsters remains. The monster was revived within a minute and stood over the city.

"You know the drill guys." Kite said as the Zords appeared. The rangers jumped into their cockpits and attacked the monster who was hitting various buildings.

"Let me lead on this one Ani. It's payback time." Yellow moved her Zord forward.

"You got it." Red saluted with two fingers.

The Cheetah Zord attacked the monster with super speed. It moved so fast that no one could keep up with it. It attacked from all angles until it had the monster in its knees.

"Let's finish this off quickly." Black claimed, "this was too easy." He whispered to himself.

"Sutoraiku Gattai!" The giant robot formed quickly and stood over the city, "KemonoOh!"

"I got this!" Yellow moved the Megazord forward and attacked the monster with the robots sword. She then pulled out her battery and threw it over to Red.

"Got it." Red inserted the battery.

"Cheetah!" The morpher said loudly. The sword turned yellow and the robots legs glowed yellow. The big robot began moving fast.

"Wow, I didn't know it could do that." Tsubasa was surprised at what was going on. The giant robot hit the monster a few more times.

"Final Strike!" Yellow yelled as the robot stopped and absorbed energy from the battery.

"Cheetah Speed Sword Strike!" They all yelled as the robot ran at high speeds.

#2-5-7

Red entered the code as the robot moved past the monster, slashing it as it passed by. The Megazord then posed as the monster fell down and exploded.

"Finally! I'm tired!" Red yawned as the rangers viewed the sunset.

"Let's go home. I'll cook something up for all of you as an apology for you all. Especially you Maya. Goumen-nasai." Madoka got up and bowed.

"For what?" Maya asked.

"I almost killed you. Goumen-nasai." Madoka stayed in her position.

"It's ok. Let's just enjoy the evening." Maya smiled under her helmet.

"I'm hungry!" Red yelled as he woke Black up from a nap he was trying to take.

The next day, Kite and Madoka went to the cemetery. The others came along with them. Madoka put down a bouquet of flowers on the grave of her parents and she began her prayer. Kite joined her. The others gave them privacy. Once they finished, the others came back and they stood together.

"So you guys are the children of Doji Tategami. One of the greatest mind of his time." Tsubasa seemed surprised even though he felt like he shouldn't be.

"My father became rich with his mind and with my mom by his side. That's all I can say. He did some pretty interesting stuff. He invented a lot of technology that's used in Japan and other parts of the world.

"He was also the best story teller." Madoka adjusted the flowers.

"Tosan was amazing in all kinds of ways." Kite smiled. He picked up the picture that was on the grave. Madoka noticed it also and they both looked at it. It was them as children. With their parents and younger siblings as babies.

"I can see why Madoka came here when she was enraged. She clearly wants to see them again." Tsubasa whispered over to Kite.

"Yea. That's why I try my best to be like my parents. I take care of her the best I can. I love her." Kite smiled. He put the picture back in its place.

"That's amazing." Maya came up to them and smiled.

"Sosuke, help out my sister." Kite kicked the boy and sent him to the ground. Madoka handed him a flower and told him to put it on a side it the tombstone.

"I hate you." Sosuke muttered to Kite.

They all laughed. Madoka especially. She then looked at the grave and smiled. She knew that her parents were looking down at her and smiling.

"Madoka, I promise that one day our family will be whole again. I pinky promise." Kite got in his knees and held his pinky out.

"I know. You don't need to promise." Madoka gave her brother a hug. The others smiled, even Sosuke couldn't help but smile.

Madoka closed her eyes and envisioned her family being whole. She smiled at the thought and let it stay there for a while. She then opened her eyes and stared at the picture. She smiled once again. She just couldn't stop smiling.
