A/N: Here we go again. Ok, this just feels stupid. Should I do authors notes twice in the chapter or once? And if it's once, should it be at the beginning or end? This goes for both stories. I'm going to also be trying something new. If you read the latest chapter of Animal Strike, I bolded the words that the Morpher announces. I've also added announcements to various combinations when it comes to batteries being used in the weapons. So when you see a bolded word, it usually means that the Morpher is announcing something. It'll be like that for the rest of the story. Well, that was long. Let's get into the chapter.

Chapter 16: One Clone Too Many

The arrow spun around the small colorful circle. It passed by each color before landing on one specific color. Red. Kite groaned as he looked upon his fate. A single card. He picked it up and read what was written out loud.

"How did you meet your Zord?" Kite looked over the card to make sure he read the question right. After rereading it three times, he confirmed it.

"That's a nice one." Sosuke said as he reset the arrow.

"Why am I playing this game again?" Kite looked at the others who sat around the table. Tsubasa counted the cards that were left. Satoru seemed to be lost in his thoughts and Sosuke was staring at him.

"Because we want to know more about each other." Satoru finally snapped out of his trance as he answered.

"Can I skip this question?" Kite asked.

"Why, it's not like it's bad." Tsubasa said to him.

"Fine, but you guys can't judge me or make fun of me." Kite looked them all in the eye.

"Depends on how this goes." Sosuke snapped his fingers and pointed at Kite. Kite shook his head at him.

"Ok fine! It happened the day we all met and became an official team. It was at night. I was patrolling, looking for the monster that was terrorizing the city at the time. A woman walked alone at night as it rained. I happened to be fighting nearby. So when the Ryaku caught view of her, they went on to attack her. I stepped in to save her but I was overwhelmed. That's when the roar sounded as the thunder boomed. I looked over to see the huge Zord standing over head. It helped me and I defeated the monsters. I took the woman home to make sure she was safe and then..." Kite turned away. Sosuke started laughing as he realized something. Tsubasa and Satoru shook their heads.

"Did you actually... no way!" Sosuke couldn't stop laughing.

"Let me finish! We," Kite looked for the words, "made love, but I stopped myself before we took it too far. I escaped through the window after I put her in her bedroom. After running off, I heard the tiger again and when I turned around, I saw him standing atop a mountain. Then I woke up. I was knocked out, under a bridge. I sighed as I realized it was all a dream until I saw the real thing, protecting me, sitting by the bridge, staring at me." Kite finished, thinking about how his dream seemed so realistic that it scared him.

"Are you sure it was a dream." Sosuke was teasing.

"Yes! I would never take advantage of a woman. Now, I answered, leave me alone!" Kite practically yelled.

"Well that's an interesting story." Satrou said.

"Your Zord must have responded to you after knocking out. You must have knocked out after fighting Zaku and the Ryaku. The Zord protected you so that you wouldn't get, you know, mugged or killed or something." Tsubasa theorized.

"I guess. I'm just glad that it was a dream. You know what people would think of me. Like the people watching and it reading this. Wait." Kite stopped himself.

"How about you don't break the fourth wall and continue." Sosuke claimed.

"Anyways I'm glad that I didn't do something that I would regret for the rest of my life." Kite sighed as he sat back.

"Who does this belong to?" Natsuki asked as she entered the base. She held a plush toy that looked similar to Kemono Red.

"Oh! I got that for Tsukasa." Kite said as he got up and grabbed the plush toy.

"Why?" Sosuke asked.

"Because of something I never mentioned." Kite answered.

"What is it?" Tsubasa asked him as he put the cards back into a deck.

"Let's just say, Tsukasa loves these things." Kite said as he looked up.

~flashback~

The plush toy was moved so fast that it made Kite feel sick inside his own head. He viewed the screen as he sighed. He realized that Tsukasa really loves plush toys. He smiled a little as he saw the smile that the toy brought to her face. He had to admit that she was cute and her smile was cute.

She looked at the plush toy. She felt the sudden urge to just hug even more tightly and she did so. She brought it up to her face and started shaking around.

"Heal me! Heal me, please!" Tsukasa yelled at the top of her lungs as she squeezed the lights out of the plush toy.

Kite almost fell over as he viewed this. He laughed as he viewed the woman who continued hugging the bear. Tsukasa dropped the bear on her bed and began her nightly routine.

~ flashback ends~

Kite laughed a little as he looked back down at the plush toy. The others looked at him with both confusing looks and the look that people give when they are around strange people. Kite noticed and he stopped laughing.

"Where is Tsukasa, anyways? Wait, where are all the girls? Except for you Natsuki." Kite clarified. Natsuki gave him a nod.

"I think they are visiting your siblings again." Tsubasa answered him.

"Again. What is up with that?" Sosuke was the one who asked.

"Tsukasa said that there was something she didn't do the last time they visited them. So she asked Madoka if they could go and all the girl's went. And to answer where the last three of our group are, Sakuya is working, Hiroto is at his business office, and Kyoya is doing what Kyoya does and trading somewhere in the forest." Satoru answered as he turned on his laptop.

"Well, I guess I'll give this to her later." Kite went and hid the plush toy somewhere where it could not be found. He smiled and nodded as he walked over to Natsuki who was drawing something in her notebook. The others started playing the game they were playing before.

"He is so adorable!!!" Tsukasa practically squealed as she held the small child in a tight hug.

"Madoka! Help me!" Gingka called for his older sister.

"Tsukasa, you are going to kill him." Madoka pried the officer away from her small brother.

"Gomen." Tsukasa apologized but kept a bright smile on.

"Gingka! It's time to go back!" Sophie called for her brother.

"Ok! Bye Nee-chan. Bye everyone." Gingka waved as he ran over to his sister. His sister also waved as they entered back into the school with the rest of their class.

"What is wrong with you?" Madoka playfully punched Tsukasa. The group of girl's started walking off.

"I'm sorry but I just adore cute children." Tsukasa put her hands together as she looked up and closed her eyes.

"Well that aside, what are you guys planning today?" Miu asked all the girls.

"I have no plans. My parents went to Kyoto again and this time they took my siblings with them. I'm free today." Maya stretched her arms as she felt the breeze.

"I have the day off today. I'm also free." Tsukasa informed the group.

"And you Madoka-Chan?" Miu asked.

"Well I have nothing going on but I've been worried." Madoka said as she looked at her feet.

"About what?" Miu asked.

"About... well it's embarrassing to say." Madoka turned away nervously.

"Come on, you can tell us." Miu gave the girl a pat on her back. Madoka glanced at the group who gave her bright, comforting smiles.

"Ok... I'm worried about... boys!" Madoka said as she turned away again.

"Boy?!" The girls yelled in unison.

"Then I'm glad I showed up!" The group turned to see Miku standing with a bright light shining down on her.

"Where is that light coming from?" Tsukasa asked as she covered her eyes along with the rest of the group.

"I'm here to show you the way. The key! The key to boys!" Miku yelled as she held out her arms, almsot as if she were rejoicing something.

"That's right! You are a Hollywood actress. How many handsome famous actors have you worked with?" Miu asked.

"Don't worry about that. I'm here to help!" Miku yelled as she spun around and her outfit changed.

"Huh?!" The girls all gained confused looks as Miku grabbed the all and dragged them away.

"Here we go!" Miku said happily as she somehow dragged all the girls at the same time.

"Kasuto, I presume you are here for your 'project'." Baishisu greeted the wolf as he entered.

"I would like a progress report as soon as possible. Those were some valuable subjects I found, but that is not why I am here. Enter!" Kasuto turned to his side as the doors to the laboratory opened.

A monster walked in. The monster was big but not too big. It was silver in color with tubes of color on its shoulders. It had two faces that looked the same but had different expressions. It had a printer on its back. It's right hand was a scanner while it's left hand remained a regulate looking hand.

"Who's this?" Baishisu asked as he continued working on an experiment that involved chemicals.

"This is Souru. He has a valuable ability." Kasuto stroked his chin as he spoke.

"I'm here to bring some pain." The monster, Souru, spoke with a deep voice.

"What does he do." Baishisu asked the wolf.

"Watch." Kasuto stepped back as the monster moved forward. He lifted up his right arm and a green beam came out of his scanner. It scanned the goblin like monster in front of him. Souru stopped scanning and stood still as the printer on its back started making noises. A piece of paper flew out and landed on the floor. Souru moves out of the way, the paper began to turn into a blob of paint until it grew into a figure. The figure finished forming and was revealed to be... Baishisu?

"What the hell is this?" Baishisu almsot fell back as he dropped a few tubes on the ground.

"I'm alive! IM ALIVE!" The clone yelled as it walked around the lab.

"How dare you. Get rid of this, this clone!" Baishisu commanded. Kasuto groaned as he pulled out his sword and slashed the clone in half. The clone dropped into a puddle of colors.

"Impressive, don't you think?" Kasuto asked as he put the sword back in its holster.

"It is impressive, actually. Just never clone me again. Besides, I'm disappointed that his method of cloning uses paper." Baishisu showed his disappointment by shaking his head.

"It may be paper, but the clones are given souls. The souls help in the creation of actual flesh and bones. Well, that's how it's seen by everyone else. To us, we know that the clones are made of paper but thy do have souls." Kasuto explained the monsters abilities.

"Interesting. Well, I hope he gets to work fast. Since I heard word that a new monster was coming aboard, I sent out troops of Ryaku to distract the Kemonorangers. Send you monster to do what he does before the rangers catch on." Baishisu advised the wolf.

"You heard him, get out of here." Kasuto sent his monster out.

"I'll be going!" The monster bowed before leaving.

"Now about the other project." Kasuto put his hands behind his back.

"Follow me." Baishisu exited the room with the wolf close behind.

They walked down the hallway to get to a different door. Baishisu pulled out a key and he put in a hole that was not visible. The door slid open and the two stepped into an elevator. The elevator doors closed and Baishisu pushed a button. The elevator went down for a minute until they reached their stop. The doors opened and the two stepped out. They walked down the corridor with a flashing light until they got to a steel door.

Baishisu spun the handle around two times before opening the door fully. They entered the room and made sure the door closed tightly. They walked towards cages that were lit very dimly. Baishisu sat at a console and made the lights brighter. In the cages, four people were present. One of them lay in the corner, another one sitting next to them with one more of them having their heads on the middle ones shoulder. The last person stood near the cages entrance. The person held the bars tightly but did nothing.

"Soon, they will become some of our greatest weapons." Baishisu laughed evilly as he pushed up a lever that activated the electricity in the cage. The four people began to scream as they held themselves. Pain rushing through their bodies. The four people, three boys and one girl, screamed with all the pain they felt.

"Perfect. Make sure this goes according to plan. I will kill you if you don't." Kasuto threatened as he punched a wall. He turned around and walked back towards the doors.

"I promise you, I will. You will all thank me fo this." Baishisu said to himself as he moved another lever that released a strange gas. The four people screamed at the top of their lungs. Kasuto closed the door behind him, muffling the screams. He took in a deep breath and left.

In the deep forest, Ryaku moved quickly. They looked for groups of humans that may have been hiking. Within the shadows that they passed, a figure moved quickly. The monsters never noticed that they were being watched. The Ryaku got to a point where they thought they saw humans. Unfortunately, they were wrong. It was a trap. A single Ryaku monster fell for it and blew up as the small explosive took effect. The Ryaku all gathered together as they looked around. They weren't totally brilliant but they had some form of smarts that allowed them to be aware of their surroundings.

"You damn monsters are just a nuisance." A voice spoke out loud.

Suddenly, a shuriken hit a monster head on and sent it flying back. A black shadow appeared and slashed three more monsters. The shadow arrived into sunlight. It stood up and was revealed to be in a full black coustumes. A leather black costume. The person turned towards the monster and sent five shurikens and killed three monsters.

"Time to finding you." The man said as he grabbed the handle of the sword on his back. He pulled it out and held it up. He moved his finger across his blade. He turned it to its side and in an instant, he moved out of view.

The ninja slashed the monsters and destroyed them all. The Ryaku all seemed saddened but they were just mere minions. The ninja swiped off the liquid that came out of the monster and put the sword back into its sheath. He took off his mask to reveal a young man with hair that wasn't too long.

"Mission done." The boy said.

"Kenta? What are you doing?" The boy, Kenta, lifted his wrist up and he saw a video image come up on his watch.

"What is it, Ryuga?" Kenta asked as he sat on a rock.

"Are you preparing for our... debuts?" The other man, Ryuga, asked.

"Debut? You've never used such words. I don't know what to think of you." Kenta teased.

"Shut up. It's the only word I could think of. Anyways, you remember what Master Raiku said to us?" Ryuga asked another question.

"Yea Yea, prepare for our battle and prepare to join a team and whatever else he said. I could honestly care less." Kenta looked up at the sky.

"Why are you even part of the Triangle?" Ryuga asked himself as he turned in his chair, away from the camera.

"I can feel it." Kenta said as the wind blew.

"What is it?" Ryuga turned back around.

"I know exaclty the right time, the right time to make my debut." Kenta smiled as he stood up.

"Well, that's just great. Report back to me when you make your next move." Ryuga said before logging off.

"Yea sure. I got other things to do, however. My debut will have to wait." Kenta said as he put his mask on and used his ninja speed to leave the forest.

"Nice drawings." Kite flipped the pages of a notebook as Natsuki ate some sort of French styled ramen.

"Arigatou." Natsuki said as she stuffed more ramen into her mouth.

"I have a feeling like I'm you main inspiration." Kite put the notebook flat on its back and spun it around. Natsuki saw it and almost choked on her food.

"That's not true." Natsuki tried to grab the notebook but Kite pulled it away.

"Art is a notable way of expressing ones true self." Both Kite and Natsuki stopped as they turned to see the person who spoke to them. Hiroto sat down and opened his laptop as he stuck something onto Kite's head.

"Nani! What is this?!" Kite looked up as he tried to get view of what was stuck on his forehead.

"Don't worry. I'm just trying to look for something." Hiroto typed on the laptops keyboard as fast as he could. Natsuki kept eating her ramen as she looked at Hiroto.

"Wait! Why are they serving ramen in a place like this!" Kite yelled out as he looked around.

"That is simple. Our chef is experimenting." A waitress said to him. She wore a yellow blouse with a brown skirt. She wore an apron over her that had words on it, "Bistrot Jurer". She wore black leggings under her skirt and she wore brown boots. She had short brown hair. She picked up the empty plate that Natsuki left and dropped off a coffee near Hiroto.

"Experimenting? But if he's experimenting, why would you let someone order it!" Kite almost got up but was pushed down by Hiroto.

"Shut up Kite. Sorry for his actions. Can I have two sugars, please?" Hiroto kept his cool persona as he spoke.

"Right away." The waitress walked off to get the sugars that were requested.

"Do you come here often?" Kite asked Hiroto.

"Don't worry about it." Hiroto said as he clicked on something. His eyes widened, "Found it!"

"What did you find?!" Kite asked before being interrupted by the waitress who had brought someone else with her. She also held a piece of paper in her hand.

"Our chef wanted to say thank you for the note you left, right?" The waitress looked over at the chef who seemed annoyed.

"What note?" Kite asked. He stopped himself as he turned to Natsuki who hid herself behind her notebook.

"Say it!" The waitress commanded.

"Arigatou." The man said. The man wore a blue buttoned shirt with his sleeves pushed up. He wore black jeans with dark brown shoes. He had black short hair that covered his forehead. He was annoyed with the girl next to him and he walked away.

"Excuse him. He hasn't had much sleep lately. The thing is, we've been looking for a friend who disappeared a while ago. We've been worried and sometimes we have sleepless nights." The waitress explained.

"Thats terrible. I hope you find your friend." Natsuki said as she felt sadness.

"Let's see." Hiroto whispered to himself. He clicked on the mousepad and Kite felt a small shock. A symbol came out of him and backed up into him. The thing on his forehead fell off. Kite looked up at the waitress.

"Umika!" Kite stood up, a different voice coming out of him.

"Nani?" The waitress looked at him with confusion. The chef looked from the kitchen.

"It's me! It's me! Umika, it's me!" Kite moved forward as he grabbed the girl by the arms.

"You are freaking me out. Stop before I have to kick you out." The waitress released herself from his grip.

"Come on! You don't remember me. Touma! It's me!" Kite ran over to the chef who kept a close eye on the boy.

"I see. That's how it works." Hiroto spoke to himself as he closed the laptop.

"Touma!" Kite yelled.

"Get out." The chef demanded.

"Nani?" Kite said.

"Hello! Everyone. Umika-Chan, I'm ready for my usual please." Everyone turned to see Sakuya enter the restaurant. The officer stopped as he caught view of everyone.

"Sakuya! Tell them. It's me, Kairi!" Kite almost yelled.

"Kairi?" Umika took a step forward.

"Kairi? I see you are back in control. Actually, Tsukasa-senpai wanted to talk to you. She's been wanting to talk to you for a while now." Sakuya started talking to much.

"Forget it!" Kite yelled as he ran out of the restaurant.

"Kite!" Natsuki yelled as she ran after him.

"Sakuya-San? What did he mean when he said he was Kairi?" Umika walked up to the officer.

"I know how you two have been looking for him and I'm sorry I didn't say anything. I believe he can explain everything better than I can." Sakuya pointed out to Hiroto.

"Take a seat, you will need it." Hiroto said as he put te sugars in his coffee.

Outside, Kite walked on. He looked up at the sky before blinking three times and reverting back to normal. Natsuki caught up to him but he gave her a look as if he wanted to be left alone. She stayed put as Kite walked off alone. She then recieved a phone call. She answered it and seemed confused but followed what was being said. She closed her phone and ran off to who knows where.

"You guys are just trouble, aren't you?" Kite spoke to himself as if her were speaking to the other reds that were stuck in his head.

"Well well well, look what we have here." Kite stopped as he looked around.

"What do you want." Kite put his hands up in a defensive post.

"I just wanted to copy something." The monster started laughing evilly as he scanned Kite.

"What did you-" Kite said before being knocked out.

"You need to work on doing things quietly." Kasuto spoke to the monster.

"Don't say that you didn't like knocking him out." The monster spoke harshly.

"We will have our fated battle but it is not today. Put him behind the tree. He'll wake up later." The wolf said as he walked away.

"Whatever. Okami!" The monster yelled and foot soldiers that looked like wolves came out and moved the boy.

"Natsuki!" Miku called over to the girl. The girl saw her and ran towards her. She met up with the group of girls.

They were at the amusement park. The rides were all moving. Lines of people were everywhere. Many people eating food passed by. There were also many couples together, which made Madoka shift nervously. She couldn't spot any boys who were single.

"Can we just go?" Madoka turned away from everyone.

"No! We are here to find you a boyfriend. I'm also going to help the rest of you get one." Miku smiled deviously as she scanned the area.

"Wait! All of us?!" Miu gasped as she asked.

"Of course. Now let's start by the haunted house." Miku moved her finger in circles as she pointed at the attraction.

"Haunted... House...?" Tsukasa felt fear strike her as she said the words.

"Is there a problem?" Natsuki asked the woman who seemed to be frozen with fear.

"N.. n.. no." She answered as she regained control.

"Great then, let's go! It's the perfect opportunity to find boys." Miku pushed them all forward until they stopped. They saw a boy run in front of them, almost crashing into them. Madoka dropped the pin she had in her hair as she stopped violently. She got down to get it until her hand met with someone else's. She looked up to see the same boy who had caused the pin to fall. The boy looked at her and smiled. She looked at him and blushed a little before the boy winked and ran off.

"That was weird." Maya said to the group.

"How about we go to the roller coaster first, or maybe try one of the booth games." Tsukasa spoke up as she moved the group away from the haunted house. Miku crossed her arms but she didn't mind. She quickly skipped in order to reach them.

After an hour, everyone had fun. Although most of the fun was interrupted by Miku offering the girls a boy to have fun with. The girls had to apologize to a lot of different boys for a lot of different reasons. Miku just wasn't getting the fact that no one, except for maybe Madoka, wanted a relationship at the moment.

At last the time had finally arrived. The only attraction left was the haunted house. The girls stood and faced it. The house seemed to be growing in size but that was merely the girls imagination. Each girl gulped in their own ways and stepped forward slowly. They almost held each other as the house seemed to be emitting some sort of demonic presence. Miku sighed as the only boys who were in line had gone in before her group. Although, it didn't take long for her group to be let in.

For the first few minutes, it was small screams and tiny jumps. When they got to what they assumed was the middle of the house, it got more "scarier". Miku was the only one who didn't feel too much fear but still jumped up in surprise. The others would run as fast as they could as fear took over their bodies. After two more minutes, Miku caught view of a group of boys. She smiled as she pushed her group forward. She pouted when she heard the boys scream almsot as loud as a girls scream. She walked ahead to see what had those boys scared and she couldn't help but feel actual fear build up inside her.

"Why... hello." A monster walked forward and Miku screamed at the top of her lungs. The other girl's reached her and saw the monster who had raised a group of Okami with him.

"It's one of Jiku's monsters." Maya said.

"And two of you must be Kemonorangers. There two girls on the team, right?" The monster asked one of his wolf minions who just shrugged at the question.

"Yea! So what! Let's get him." Madoka pulled out her battery. Maya followed while the other girls helped the boys and Miku out of the haunted house. Natsuki took a photo of the monster with her phone but ended up dropping her phone when she was pulled by Miu.

Cheetah!

Phoenix!

"Kemono Striker! Spirit Unleashed!" The girls copied the words Tsubasa had told them to use when using the Kemono Strikers. They laughed their spirits which attacked the monsters and returned to them. "Henshin!" The girls instantly transformed into their ranger suits and they began fighting off the monsters.

Yellow slashed the wolf warriors who attacked her. She spun around in a circle until using her speed to slash the monsters in a straight line. Pink shot several arrows at different monsters and hit her targets all directly in the chest.

"Let's have some fun!" The monster yelled as he scanned the girls. He then activated his printer. The papers that flew around transformed into physical forms and then took on the apperances of Yellow and Pink.

"How did he do that?" Pink seemed to be confused. He clone looked at her and held up the copy of the bow, shooting arrows at the original. They all ended up running out of the building. Yellow fought with her counterpart but seemed to be struggling.

"How is she as strong as me?" Yellow asked.

"When I kill you, I'll replace you!" The clone said with a vicious tone that sent chills down Yellow's spine.

"There he is!" Blue jumped in front of the monster and slashed him. Black and Green arrived after him.

"You guys got here right on time." Pink said as she held her side.

"Scan complete." The monster said.

"Hey! You can't scan us without permission." Black said as he blasted the monster with his blaster.

"Time to make your clones." The monster said as he printed out three more sheets which manifested into clones of Blue, Black and Green.

"Tsk. Now we have to deal with clones." Green shook his head.

"Let's just get this over with." Blue said as he pulled out his Shark Sabers and dashed forward.

"Easy for you to say." Yellow said as she ran forward, pain still surging through her body.

"Go my clones, show them who's better." The monster said happily as the clones all dashed forward.

Green and his clone began fighting with hand to hand combat. Blue slashed with his sabers but his clone dodged the attacks. Black and his own clone started pushing eachother back like wild bulls. Yellow and her clone ran as quickly as they could as they fought with their blasters. Pink shot arrows at her clone who only shot arrows back at her.

After a few minutes of fighting, Blie led his clone to the waterfront near the amusement park. He slashed and after a few tries he got his clone, who sparked. He then kicked his clone into the water and his clone disintegrated. He studied as his clone just melted away in the water. He put his fingers up to his chin as he began thinking.

Black saw what had happened and informed everyone. Everyone seemed to be on the same page when they followed in Blue's footsteps. Pink let her clone grab onto her bow and she spun her around until she sent the clone falling by the water. The pink clone stood up and was shit by two arrows and sent flying into the water. Yellow raced with her clone. They turned towards the water and sped towards it. Yellow was smarter than her clone and she stopped, causing smoke to rise from the ground, allowing for her clone to stupidly run into the water.

Green continued with his hand to hand fight until he started using karate. He kicked five times before spinning in the air and kicking his clone with full force into the water. Black was the last one fighting with his clone as they continued charging at eachother. Black started steaming as his anger rose. He was annoyed and he picked up his clone, with his strength, and he ran for the water. He jumped forward and followed his clone into the water. The clone disintegrated all around Black.

"That's disgusting!" Black said as he saw the colors flow away from him.

"Let's go get the monster." Blue informed the ones who were still dry. They nodded and turned until they were shot by a string of bullets.

"Go find somewhere else to make a mess. I'll take care of these chumps." Kasuto stood with a machine gun in hand.

"You got it boss." The monster said as he ran off. Black rejoined the others as they reached out, as if to catch the monster with one step. Kasuto shot the ground in front of them.

"What do you want?" Blue asked the wolf as he gripped tighter on his sword.

"I just wanted to see you guys. After all, you guys are missing Red. So I thought I should check on how you were doing." Kasuto said as he put the machine gun up onto his shoulder.

"What did you do to my brother!" Yellow yelled as she stepped forward.

"I guess all that bad blood is gone, huh?" Black whispered over to Green. Green felt annoyance and punched the black ranger in the arm.

"He's not your... I mean, I don't know. My monster there might, but you won't have time to find him easily with these guys around." Kasuto snapped as he walked away, laughing evilly. His Okami soldiers came out and walked forward.

"Let's defeat these guys fast." Blue said as he lifted his sword forward.

"Whatever." Green pulled out his saber and awaited for the time to strike.

At that very moment, a huge burst of wind hit the monsters and a tornado appeared. The tornado hit the monsters and destroyed them with ease. The tornado remained for a few minutes, causing concern to come from the rangers. The other non ranger girls, looked from a far as their hair blew all over the place. Natsuki held onto her bag as she turned to see a boy trying to put his hand down. When the boy did, the tornado subsided. The boy took a deep sigh as he ran off. Natsuki looked at him, her mouth a little open, until she remembered about her phone and went looking for it.

"What was that?" Green asked.

"Don't know, but it doesn't matter. We need to find some way to study that monsters abilities and we need to look for Kite." Blue said to them all. The other girls regrouped with them and Natsuki walked up to Blue.

"Will this do." Natsuki said as she showed footage to the blue ranger.

"That will do nicely. Great job, Natsuki-Chan. Now, off to do science!" Tsubasa said as he grabbed the phone and ran off.

"Wait up!" Natsuki called out to him before tuneing back to the group, "Last time I saw Kite, he seemed like he was being possessed or something. Tsubasa! Wait!" Natsuki ran after the man who confused running. The rangers all undid their transformations.

"We need to look for him. Tsukasa, Miu, Kyoya. Help me look, the rest of you guys go back to the base with Tsubasa and Natsuki.

"Do I have to?" Kyoya walked towards the water, looking at the boats that were around.

"He's your friend, of course you have too." Madoka grabbed Kyoya by the collar of his shirt and dragged him. Miu and Tsukasa seemed surprised but followed the girl.

"Well, that's a woman all right. Let's go follow my dumb brother." Sosuke said as he walked the way his brother went. Maya stayed behind, looking at Madoka's group as they left.

"Somethings up with her. She suddenly went from hating him to loving him. I need to look into it." Maya said to herself before following Sosuke and Miku.

"Why the hell am I wearing this get up!" Kite yelled as he pushed through the other reds in order to see the screen. His body was checking itself out in the mirror.

"It suits him. He is a thief after all." Patren 1gou punched his hand into his palm.

"What is he trying to prove?" Kite asked.

"He wants to show Touma and Umika that he is alive and well." Zyuoh Eagle explained.

"Ugh. I could've just explained it to them myself." Kite said as he sat down.

"Do you really think that would've worked?" Shinken Red asked as he studied his sword.

"Look, I may not look it, but I'm always willing to put others first and if Lupin Red wanted me too, I would do everything in my power to help his friends see that he is alive." Kite said to them.

"Well for now, just sit back and watch." Ryusoul Red said to him.

~Outside Kite's Mind~

"Ok, it looks perfect." Lupin Red said as he walked out of the store after purchasing the outfit along with the mask that he was going to put on later. The outfit was the spitting image of Kairi's thief outfit when he wasn't transformed.

"That look reminds me of someone." Lupin Red stopped as he turned around and saw a familiar face.

"Noël?" He asked.

"Seems that Tsukasa was right. Is that really you, Kairi-Kun?" The other boy asked. He wore a white shirt with a grey vest along with some blue jeans. He wore white shoes and he had his hair cover half his forehead. He smiled brightly at the boy.

"Yea it is. How do you know that?" Lupin Red asked.

"It's a long story but let's just say that Tsukasa has been talking to me and said that you and Keiichiro are both in that boys head. It all happened that night that seemed to go by like a breeze for a lot of people around the world." Noël spoke to the thief as he crossed his arms.

"Well, that's all true. Now are you here to help me or what?" Lupin Red asked the sometimes thief.

"We should return to the Kemonorangers base of operations so that I may be able to talk to the famous Tsubasa. Or so that's how Sakuya explained it. The monster will probably attack again soon." Noël began walking forward.

"I guess." Lupin Red said before he felt himself sink back into Kites mind.

"You are Kite, I presume. Nice to meet you. Let's chat while we make our way to your base." Noël turned back to Kite who seemed confused.

"Yea, i would like that very much." Kite said to the other man as they began walking.

"Found him!" Madoka pushed Kite into the base. She entered with Kyoya who was pissed off. He was clearly not pleased with Madoka. Miu and Tsukasa has returned an hour before them and turned to greet them until they saw Kite's outfit.

"Lupin Red!" Satoru yelled as he moved his magnifying glass up to see Kite.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Tsukasa asked as she stood up.

"We found him like this. We don't know how he got the outfit but I don't even want to think about it since the tag is still on this." Madoka held up the tag so that everyone could see until she let it go.

"Come on Sakuya! Let us through!" Umika pushed through the man who loved her as she entered the base along with Touma.

"Kairi?" Touma asked as he caught view of Kite.

"No no. This isn't what it looks like." Sakuya entered as he looked at Kite.

"This is Kairi, who ever that is. This is my brother." Madoka I formed the duo.

"He said he was Kairi. Then Sakuya confirmed it. I want to know if it's true." Umika said as she gained a saddened look.

"I'm sorry guys. I didn't mean to say it out loud." Sakuya rubbed the back of his head as he bowed to apologize.

"It's ok. I know you two want answers and we will give them to you. Please sit." Hiroto invited them over to a pair of seats.

"Is it true? Is he stuck in there?" Touma asked, keeping a straight face the whole time.

"I guess I'll have to explain now." Hiroto explained.

"You Can explain after I have some fun." Kite spoke as he licked his lips. He saw Maya, Miu and Tsukasa who all sat next to eachother.

"What are you doing?" Miu asked in disgust.

"Come on, let's have some fun ladies. You, girl drawing, you can join in too." Natsuki looked up and backed up in her chair. Kite moved towards her and grabbed her arm.

"Let go!" Natsuki tried to break free from the boys grip.

"Kite!" Madoka yelled.

"Well well, it seems that there is a lot of commotion going on." Noël entered the room and caught view of everyone.

"Noël!" Touma, Umika, Sakuya and Tsukasa all looked at the man with shock.

"What's going on here?" Noël asked the room.

"My brother is going crazy. Kite!" Madoka tried to pull Kite back.

"Kite is your brother?" Noël asked.

"Yes and he is causing a scene." Madoka fell back as she failed to pull Kite back.

"That can't be. I'm with Kite right now." Noël said as he moved to the side. Kite walked in.

"Kite!" Everyone in the room looked at the boy who wore Lupin Red's outfit.

"Me!" Kite ignored everyone and saw his clone.

"Well well, if it isn't my clone. Here to take my friends away." Kite let go of Natsuki's arm and walked towards his look a like.

"What are you doing!" Kite yelled as he punched his clone.

"Something you would never because you are scared!" The look a like punched his clone. They started fighting and hit eachother againt the wall until they started throwing lunches at each other.

"Oh la la~ what is happening." Noël asked as he saw the two clones fight.

"Stop!" Madoka yelled as she grabbed the two clones and pushed them away from eachother. Kyoya grabbed hold onto one of them while Sosuke took the other one.

"He's the fake!" They both yelled at eachother as they struggled against the people who held them.

"There's a simple way of solving this. This should be easy." Tsubasa said as he walked up to them.

"I got it!" They both yelled as they looked at eachother.

"How did you meet your Zord?" Tsubasa asked quickly. Both Kite's looked at him.

"Easy. I met him in the forest, like the rest of you." The Kite being held by Sosuke answered.

"That's a lie! I already answered this question. I met him in a dream after I supposedly made love to a woman I saved. Then when I woke up, it was lying near me, probably to protect me while I was knocked out." The Kite being held by Kyoya answered as he looked at the group with worried looks.

"We have our fake." Tsubasa held his blaster out and walked to the Kite who was being held by Kyoya.

"You're kidding right? Tsubasa it's me!" Kite yelled as he struggled against Kyoya.

"That's right. Kill the stupid imposter. I'm willing to have some love making with girl's of all kinds by the way." The Kite who was let go by Sosuke said out loud. Tsubasa asked at Kite, finger at the trigger. Kite closed his eyes as he hoped that this was an actual dream.

Tsubasa then spun around and caught the imposter by surprise. He shot the clone back and sent him flying into the consoles. The clone fell to the ground and held his body as he felt pain.

"Tsubasa? I knew it!" Kite jumped up in victory as Kyoya let him go.

"I took a guess." Tsubasa shrugged. He seemed to not care about the questions answer.

"Nani!" Kite yelled.

"Hey you! Is it true? Is Kairi inside of you?" Touma asked the boy.

"Who's asking?" Kite tried to act stupid. Until he felt a surge inside of him.

"Forevermore, Adieu." Lupin Red's voice came out of Kite.

"Kite's possessed again." Natsuki put her legs up and out her notebook in front of her.

"Kairi?" Umika asked.

"Yes?" Kite looked at them.

"How do we know it's you?" Touma asked.

"Do you not hear it. His voice changed completely. He is Kairi-kun just as Tsukasa said. Tsukasa just went on and on about him." Noël said as he walked to the boy.

"Really, Tsukasa did?" Lupin Red asked.

"See." Noël said as his point was somehow proven.

"Isn't that just way to easy to believe Satoru whispered over to Tsubasa.

"Who cares." Tsubasa answered as he worked on the science in front if him. Satoru returned to working as well.

"Kairi. I believe it. I believe it's you." Umika hugged the boy.

"I can't believe it. I never would have thought." Touma said.

"I know, it's weird and I think that dude can answer all your questions." He pointed at Hiroto who rolled his eyes.

"Found it. The monster creates copies using the printer on his back." Satoru answered.

"You just got that?" Miu asked.

"No, I've had it for a while but I was working on this other thing so." Satoru answered honestly.

There was movement from where the imposter was lying. The imposter stood up suddenly and shot at everyone in the room with the blaster he found lying on the table near him. He ran out of the base.

"This reunion will have to wait. Let's go. You give Kite control again." Tsubasa commanded as he ran out of the base with the other rangers following

"We'll talk later." Lupin Red said as he ran off, giving Kite back full control.

Near a city plaza, the monster was causing mayhem as he saw the clone he created return.

"What are you doing here?!" The monster asked.

"They found out! They found out that-" the clone was shot with an arrow and it disintegrated.

"Let's get him guys. Keep him from using his printer." Blie commanded as the rangers arrived.

"Looks like this is my final stand." The monster said as he scanned the Rangers easily. He began his printing process until he realized that nothing was coming out. His printer was jammed.

"How?!" The monster yelled.

"I shot you clone so his goo got all over your printer, including inside it." Blue answered.

The rangers all got into formation and attacked. Green hit the monster with his mace. Pink shot a few arrows at the monster while Yellow hit the monster with a speed attack. Black hit the monster with his axe before kicking him and jumping out of the way to allow Blue to hit the monster. The monster stumbled back but then shot out some sort of bullet that hit the rangers.

"He's got bullets!" Red asked as he got up.

"Kite, use this. We'll distract him and you go in for the finishing blow." Tsubasa threw over a battery at the red ranger.

"Ok, you got it." Red nodded as he held the battery and his sword close to him.

Blue rushed forward along with Black and they slashed at the monster. They kicked the monster and slashed again. Pink and Yellow hit the monster at the same time sending him flying. Green then spun his mace around and hit the monster with the ball, directly at his head. The monster fell in front of Red.

Red put the battery into his sword and saw the handle turn Blue as he prepared his attack.

Tiger!

Shark!

The Fury Killer, Tora Same!

The blade was engulfed in flames and water. Red held it tightly as he spun the sword around and he hit the monster directly. He sent the monster flying, letting it blow up instantly without a final word. Red turned around and out the sword up on his shoulder.

"Nice job." Tsubasa said in English as he held up an "ok" symbol.

"Good for you rangers, but let's jus get the final battle over with. I already got what I wanted." Kasuto shot a bullet and then looked at the vile of colors he had. He coughed before leaving.

The monster grew and started its path of destruction as it created clones of city buildings. The copies fell to the ground and started creating explosions. The Zords were already on their way as the Kemonorangers prepared to combine.

They did so and they started their fight against the giant monster. The monster seemed angerier than before as it started creating more and more clones.

"What's up with him." Black asked.

"Take this rangers!" The monster yelled as it created a clone of the mecha.

"That's just great, huh?" Blue said.

"Go forward!" Red yelled as the giant robot ran forward. The giant robots clashed.

"We need to hit them at the same time." Green told the others.

"Got it." Red said.

The giant robot hit its clone back and kept doing so until it crashed into the monster. The robot hit both enemies and backed up before shooting at them with the Shark head. The mecha spent a few minutes fighting off the monster and it's copy until it was ready to use its final move. The clone and the monster stood next to eachother. The mecha lifted up its sword as it began to glow.

"Final Max KemonoOh Strike!" They all yelled as the giant robot brought the sword down. The clone and the monster looked up as the animal spirits cake hurling towards them.

"No, I wanted to make more clones!" The monster yelled as it blew up along with its creation. The mecha stood victorious as the explosion got bigger.

"I'm going to sleep again!" Kite yelled out as he knocked out.

"Kite!" Everyone yelled. The giant mecha relaxed as the sun set.

Farther away, a man stood on a buildings rooftop, watching the giant robot. He wore a suit. A ranger suit.

The suit was white in color. The helmet seemed to look like the head of a rhinoceros. It had black eyes on each side of the helmet. The helmet had a horn that went off the helmet a little and it went up. The visor has the look of a rhinos mouth when open. The visor was black in color. The ranger wore white boots with black heels. The collars of the boots were silver in color. There was a circle in the middle of the suit which had a rhino styled number 7 with a black motif of a rhino head surrounding it. The suit had a silver belt with a buckle that had the Kemonorangers symbol along with the number 7. The right holster held the rangers Raiku Blaster and the left holster had the rangers Raiku Saber. His Morpher lay in his wrist in rest mode.

"It's almost time. I will be the perfect ranger and regain my honor as a ninja. Trust me, sensei." The ranger looked up at the sky as he clenched his fist. He jumped off the building he told on and disappeared in a tornado of air that subsided quickly.

Jiku day alone in a room. He looked up as he shook his head. He got up and darkness began spilling out of him. He walked over to a picture frame in which he saw a family. He sighed as he recognized himself but he couldn't remember anything about the other people in the picture.

"Are you really my wife and kid?" Jiku asked himself.

He grabbed his white coat and white fedora hat and left the room. The room shook a little as the darkness seeped into the walls. The picture shook a little until darkness over took it.

"I'm glad he's alright. If only he could talk more." Umika looked at Kite who lay down on a couch, sleeping.

"Well he always seems to knock right out after a final battle. I know it's a lot to take in but please be patient with us. Tsubasa and Sartoru are working on ways to bring all the reds back." Madoka explained.

"As long as he's safe somewhere." Touma said.

"Well until then, I'll stay and help you Kemonorangers. Maybe I can crack this case." Noël spoke up.

"That won't be necessary, me and Tsubasa got it covered." Satoru said as he stood tall until something caught fire behind him.

"What did you do!" Tsubasa yelled as he looked for the fire extinguisher.

Everyone looked at them and shook their heads and then they all turned to Kite as they head him move. He got up, his eyes still closed as he glowed. He opened his mouth and words came out.

"King! KING! You will rule all. Don't let the destroyer destroy. Don't let the rider reign. You King! You will rule all. You will be the true savior." The words came out mysteriously. Kites body then fell back into its rest state.

"What was that?" Maya asked.

"Another thing to investigate." Noël said as he walked up to Kite who was still asleep.

~Inside Kite's Mind~

"What's happening!" Patren 1gou yelled over the loud noise.

"Got it!" Zyuoh Eagle closed the book that was open in the middle of the table that they all sat at.

"What the hell was that!" Lupin Red asked.

"It's coming. The time. The true destruction." Hurricane Red explained.

"I never belived it would actually happen." Aha Red said.

"When it happens, it'll probably be after Jiku's defeat. And it will happen after we lose out memories of this whole adventure." Deka Red said.

"Forget?" ToQ 1gou asked.

"Don't worry about it. We need to investigate more." Hurricane Red said as he seemed concerned.

"No need. You will all have to wait until the collision. It will be glorious!" Everyone looked up as they heard an unknown voice.

"Who's there?!" Gokai Red pulled out his weapon.

"IWAE! The great collision will soon arrive and our king will be there to save us. He will take control of all the Sentai powers in existentnce. And then, the entire mulitiverse!" A young man yelled as he walked out. He wore a brown and black coat with a dark green scarf. He wore black jeans and black boots. His hair was going up, past his neck but it didn't pass his shoulders. He had the face of a man who seemed to be intrigued by a lot of different things.

"Who the hell are you?!" Gokai Red asked.

The man smiled deviously as he studied each Red Sentai in front of him. He couldn't have been more star struck. He looked at the book and smiled even more brightly before giving a simple answer.

"Gio."
