Interlude:
Geo: Arata. Do you know anything about those two guys that appeared at the end of the last chapter?
Arata: Nope. I'm trying to figure out my own things. I don't got time to waste on who these guys are.
Geo: You should be worried. Something about these two is different.
Arata: Aren't they supposed to serve Kite? He's supposedly the king, correct?
Geo: Of course. They will be servants to my king but right now, the aura I sense from them is just... unsettling.
Arata: Well, look into it and leave me out of it. I've got to do my own thing on my own.
Geo: That sounded stupid.
Kite: It did.
Arata: Kite! Don't come in here if you are going to say that stuff.
Kite: Shut up Arata. Let's continue with the story.
Arata: You're telling me to shut up!
Kite: Arata!
Arata: I'm sorry! Don't shoot me!
Chapter 26: Thunder and Animals
There was a break in the clouds. It had been raining for the past few days. Many people began going out to do what they had to do. Others went out to work.
On a hospital rooftop, a girl, about twenty years old, sat in a wheel chair looking over the railing at the city. She had long, silky brown hair that ran past her shoulders. She wore the proper hosital attire for a hosptial patient.
The women took a big sigh as she felt the soft breeze brought by the rainy weather. She frowned slightly before feeling her wheelchair move a bit. She turned to see a nurse behind her.
"Yamazaki-san, are you ready to go back inside?" The nurse smiled.
"Yes." The woman replied simply.
The nurse pushed the woman back into the hospital at a slow pace. They went into the elevator and they went to the fourth floor. They began to go towards the womans room before stopping abruptly as a person ran past them, almost hitting them.
"Sorry!" The person called back.
"Madoka!" Kite came around the corner and saw the woman and the nurse.
"Young man, do you know that girl?" The nurse asked.
"Thats my sister. I'm sorry if she caused any trouble." Kite bowed as he apologized.
"Don't apologize to me! Apologize to her." The nurse turned to point at the woman in the wheelchair.
"Hai! Gomen-nasai!" Kite bowed. The woman then chuckled.
"Yamazaki-san? Are you ok?" The nurse asked.
"It must he nice to have a sibling to run after." The woman smiled softly.
"That.. makes you happy?" The nurse questioned.
"You don't have a sibling?" Kite asked and felt the grip of the nurse as she pulled him up using his jacket.
"Young man! You have no manners." The nurse had a vein that was popping out if her forehead.
"It's ok." The woman turned away.
"Miss!" Kite and the nurse looked up.
"Madoka!" Kite released himself from the nurse's grip. He bowed once again and he dashed down the hall.
"He was cute." The woman said as she turned to see him run.
Kite ran and stopped suddenly, sliding on the floor as he heard Madoka's voice. He came back to an open door and walked in.
"Ow! Ow! Owwww!" Inside, Madoka pinned Arata to the ground, holding his arm behind him and using half of the force she usually used.
"You idiot! Why did you do that!" Madoka yelled.
"She was hot! I needed to help her fight off those goons." Arata said as he struggled.
"She was using you, you idiot! She was a hooker!" Madoka yelled and Kite closed the door.
"No she was not! I'd be willing to get my arms hurt to help her again." Arata pushed back but failed to set himself free.
"Arata, wheres your wallet?" Kite asked.
"Huh?" Arata looked up.
"Let him go, Madoka." Kite rolled his eyes. Madoka did the same before letting go of the boy.
"Arigatou-gozaimasu!" Arata said in a agitated tone as he stood up. He reached into his pocket and he froze. He began to move his hands into all of the pockets in his pants. He then looked around and spun around before realizing his wallet was missing.
"Do you have it?" Kite asked as he sighed in disappoitment, already knowing the answer.
"No." Arata said.
"Told you!" Madoka smacked Arata in the head.
"Tategami-san?" The three turned to see a beautiful nurse walk in.
"Hello, beautiful." Arata walked up to her.
"Ah, I'm here to tell you that you are ok to go home. Please be careful with what you do at night from now on." The nurse's cheeks turned red as Arata got closer.
"How about we have some fun tonight. Would you like to-" Arata suddenly felt the full force of Madoka as she grabbed his arm, pulled it out of place and pinned it against his arm.
"Arigatou-gozaimasu." Kite bowed as Arata was being pushed out by Madoka. Kite followed them. As he passed the nurse, he winked at her and she blushed.
As the three walked out the hospital, Kite accidentally bumped into someone. Kite turned to see two men. One looked to be his age and the other one seemed to be older. The younger one held flowers in his hands.
The first man, the older one, had medium length spiked up black hair. He wore a black leather jacket with crimson colored patches on his chest, his elbows and his sides. He wore a black t-shirt underneath which was tucked into his black jeans. He wore black hiking boots.
The second man, the younger one, had medium length black hair that covered his ears and the back of his neck. He wore a black leather jacket as well except his had navy colored patches on his chest, elbows and sides. He also wore a black t-shirt underneath but it wasn't tucked in. He wore black tousers along with black skate shoes.
"Gomen." Kite bowed slightly.
"Watch where you're going." The older boy said as he pushed Kite back.
The two then left for the hospital. Kite scoffed before following his family.
Inside the hospital, the two men walked up to the main desk. The woman at the desk looked up at them and smiled.
"Yamazaki-san. Kinoshita-san. You have come back again today." The nurse said.
"Yup. Just here to see someone as always." The older man said.
"Well, Ami is in the same room she was in yesterday, no changes today." The nurse informed.
"Arigatou." The older man said and the two were off towards the elevators.
"So... you think Ami has remembered anything?" The younger man asked.
"Zyro, I... I want to believe that she has but... it's a long shot." The older man looked at the door.
"Sora... I know that you have terrible memories of the past. I know that you want to take Ami out of the hospital, but do you really think that destorying the Kemonorangers is the way?" The younger man, Zyro, asked.
"Zyro, I have already explained it. The Tategami family is the reason that Ami is in this hospital. If it wasn't for them... then she wouldn't have been in that accident. I was presented the chance to take guardianship of Ami but it happened in the wrong way. All due to that family." The older man, Sora, explained as he clencthed his fists.
"Sora." Zyro looked at Sora, "I promise to save Ami and to follow you, no matter what path you take." Zyro said.
"Arigatou. I'm glad you're my partner. The CIA is one of the biggest jobs in the world and we will rise to the top." Sora put his hand on the boys shoulder. Zyro gave a head nod.
The elevator opened on the fourth floor and the two walked to a room. They knocked on the door before sliding it open. Inside, the woman from before was sitting on her bed. She looked up but looked away immediately. The nurse in the room sighed before going to the two.
"Hello again, Sora-kun, Zyro-kun. Ami-chan, they are here to see you again." The nurse turned to the girl who looked out the window.
"Ami." Zyro looked slightly disappointed.
"It seems she still hasn't remembered anything. In fact, just a few minutes ago, a young man almsot crashed into her while he was chasing his sister. The boy apologized and Ami-chan laughed. She said, 'It must be nice to have a sibling to run after.'" The nurse informed.
"Really? She said that?" Sora asked.
"Yes. She seemed interested in that boy. She was just talking about him before you two walked in." The nurse continued giving information to the two.
"Arigatou. You take care of her so much." Sora said.
"It's my pleasure. Now, I'll be off. I'll check in later." The nurse grabbed a clipboard and walked out the room.
"That young man. Could of have been the one we met at the entrance?" Zyro asked as he placed the flowers he held on a table.
"That man was Tategami Kite. I could recognize him anywhere." Sora crossed his arms. Just as he did, rain began tapping on the window, a rainstorm slowly starting up.
"Better close the curtains." Sora walked over and moved over the red colored curtains in order to cover the window.
"Ami-chan. Do you remember me?" Sora turned to see Zyro holding the girls hands.
"Gomen, I don't know anything." Ami said.
"It's ok. There's no need to force yourself." Sora walked over and helped the girl lie down. He pulled the blankets over her as he looked into her tired eyes.
"Sora." Zyro called the mans name.
"What is it?" Sora looked up.
"That." Zyro pointed at the blinds. Lightning flashed and a figure appeared.
"It can't be." Sora said as lightning flashed again and the figure moved up.
"Let's go." Sora said, "We'll be back, Ami-chan." The two left immediately.
Sora and Zyro ran to the stairs of the hospital and ran up to the roof. They ran up two flights before reaching the roof. The rain was pouring down. As the two ran through the puddles, water flew up into the air. They stopped in front of a figure gaht stood in the rain.
"Raizuma!" Sora yelled as lightning flashed.
BOOM!
"Hello there, thunder boys." Raizuma said as he walked up to them.
"Stay back you bastard!" Zyro held up his fists.
"Well well, that's no way to treat someone. Especially someone who pays for that girls treatment." Raizuma stopped and stared the boys down.
"I still don't get how you are managing to do that. How are you doing it?!" Sora yelled over the heavy rain.
"I get funds from a very important person." Raizuma turned away as he viewed lightning bolts falling from the sky.
"What are you doing here?" Zyro asked.
"I'm here to get you. There is someone I want you to meet." Raizuma snapped his fingers. Lightning came down and enveloped all three of them.

"Jiku-sama. You are leaving once again?" Kasuto stood in the middle of the room as Jiku tapped his fingers on the arm of his throne.
"Yes. I have buisness elsewhere. I'll be leaving as soon as Raizuma returns." Jiku explained.
"Raizuma. Seems he has a past with the master." Over to the side, Junichi spoke to Naomi.
"Yea. Maybe, they were rivals. Or maybe, they were once friends until they fell in love with the same woman and their friendship was put to the test as they fought for her." Naomi began fantasizing.
"Naomi, shut up." Junichi said as thunder rumbled and Raizuma appeared alongside three others.
The first two figures were clearly Kemonorangers. These Kemonorangers, however, had not been seen before. They were colored Crimson and Navy after all. The third figure looked to be more monstrous.
Its body was made of scales. It was yellow and green with a mix of symbols. Its head looked like a dark cloud with a lightning bolt coming off the side. Its arms had claws designed to look like lightning bolts. The belt around its waist also had various lighting symbols. Its body was covered with a dark cloud as another dark cloud appeared over its head
"Raizuma. I see you've brought guests." Jiku put hisbhands together.
"He brought in two Kemonorangers!" Zaku pulled out his sword as Junichi and Naomi got into defensive positions.
"They are Kemonorangers but they aren't on their side, you get what I mean?" Raizuma held his hands behind his back.
"They work for you?" Kasuto asked.
"Exactly. They will be very helpful in the destruction of the Kemonorangers." Raizuma began pacing.
"And who's that other one?" Baishisu asked.
"This one. Oh, he's Rindar. He is also known as an Ikazuchi Kaiju!" Raizuma spoke in a proud tone.
"Kaiju? Aren't Kaiju those really big monsters from comic books and tv shows." Naomi spoke up.
"You are correct, my dear." Raizuma pointed as he spoke.
"Then why is he human sized?" Junichi asked immediately afterwards.
"Because he needs to grow. You see, he's bot just any ordinary Kaiju. He must he grown. The current thunderstorms that are occuring are perfect for growing him. He abosorbs the lighting that strikes down, thus giving him enery and allowing him to grow into the giant monster that he actually is." Raizuma explained as he put his hand on the monsters shoulder.
"I see." Kasuto studied the creature with the eye that wasn't covered.
"That's also where these two come in. You see, these two Kemonorangers are special. They have the ability to harness the power of thunder and lightning. With them out there, we can guarantee that this monster will grow into the giant beast he is." Raizuma had a smug tone present in his voice.
"Interesting plan." Jiku tapped his fingers together as he sat quietly.
"So, you think we are just going to let you gp ahead with your plan?" Zaku asked.
"Raizuma. You are in charge of the next operation. Don't screw it up." Jiku stood up, adjusted his suit and left.
"You heard the boss." Raizuma chuckled.
"You think that I'll just work with these two." Zaku pointed at the two Kemonorangers with his sword.
"Same goes for us. We don't need these weaklings out there." Navy spoke with a disguised tone that hid his real voice.
"What did you say you punk!" Zaku was ready to attack.
"You heard me." Navy said.
"Enough." Crimson said with a similar darkened voice.
"Get out there you three." Raizuma commanded.
"Good. I didn't want to stay here anyway." Navy said as he began walking away.
"Watch your backs." Crimsom said as he stared at Zaku before following. The monster also joined them.
"You two. Observe them." Kasuto commanded.
"Right away, master." Junichi and Naomi pulled their fists up to their chests and went after the three.
"Good. This'll give you the perfect oppurtunity to watch my guys at work." Raizuma said as he walked away.
"He better not screw this up." Zaku put his sword back into its holster.

The clouds were once again separated. The sun escaped through the various holes that appeared in the sky. All throughout the night, it had been raining like crazy.
Kite sighed as he was once again headed to the hospital. He walked beside Maya who held Madoka. Madoka grit her teeth in pain. She held her arm.
"Excuse me. My sister may or may not have broken her arm. Where can we go to get it checked out?" Kite asked the nurse at the front desk. The nurse pointed in a direction. Kite thanked her and they hurried over.
After an hour, Kite was given a wait time while they finished Madoka's examination. Maya has just left as she was going to help Runo with something so Kite was alone. He thanked the doctor and went to the roof directly. He had fond memories of this hospital. His mother had been here when she was pregnant with him and with his sister.
He remembered always coming as a kid to the hospital when his sister was born. He would always go to the roof with his family so that they could see the city. As Kite approached a railing on the roof, he noticed someone sitting nearby. It was the girl from yesterday.
Kite walked up next to her, trying not to scare her. He leaned forwards and the girl jumped a bit before turning to him. She studied him and recognized him.
"Good morning." Kite said simply.
The girl smiled nervously and gave a nod to acknowledge the boy.
"I'm sorry about yesterday. My sister was just running wild like a rampaging gorilla. I had to keep up so that I wouldn't lose her in the hospital." Kite spoke as he looked at the view.
"It's alright. It's no big deal." The girl said.
"So... do you always come up here?" Kite asked.
"Yes. I love the view. It helps me calm myself down." The girl said as she looked at the view along with the boy.
"Yea, this view is amazing. I loved it when I was a little kid. Every day I came with my father to see my new baby sister and we would always come up to the roof as a family to look at the nature that surrounds us as well as the skyscrapers." Kite smiled as he closed his eyes, remembering his childhood.
"It must be nice to have a family." The girl said. Kite opened his eyes and turned to see her.
"Sorry for asking, but do you have any family members who live near by or who come and visit." Kite knew that the question just came out of nowhere but he couldn't help himself.
"I don't know. There is one person who comes everyday and says that he is my brother but I just can't remember." The girl said as she put a hand on her head.
"Young man!" Kite straightened up as he heard the voice of the nurse from the day before.
"I didn't do anything." Kite defended himself immediately.
"Get away from that woman." The nurse said.
"It's ok. He makes me feel calm." The girl turned to see the nurse.
The nurse glared at Kite until she finally spoke, "Ok, he may stay."
"Arigatou... Um, if you don't mind me asking-" The nurse stopped Kite by putting up one finger.
The nurse then sighed, "Excuse us, Yamazaki-San." The nurse grabbed Kite by the fabric of his jacket and pulled him away from the girl.
"What did I do this time?" Kite asked, almost trembling as he feared the nurse.
"Young man, you are clueless. I can't blame you. You barely know her and have only spoke to her on two occasions." The nurse pinched the bridge of her nose.
"What's going on?" Kite asked nervously.
"That young woman over there is Ami Yamazaki." The nurse pointed in the direction of the girl, "a year ago, she was involved in an accident that caused her to lose her memories. She has been in the hospital ever since. We aren't sure what happened the night of her accident. The rumor is that her family was going through some debt problems, especially after they kicked their eldest son out of their home."
"Wow. That poor girl." Kite said.
"Young man. Would you mind keeping an eye on her? I don't trust you, but I need to go to a meeting. I'll be back as soon as I can." The nurse began walking away.
"Wait! Are you asking me or telling me?!" Kite called as the nurse left.
Kite turned to face see the girl who was looking out at the world. He sighed and began walking up to her. He then felt his phone vibrate.
"Hello." Kite answered.
"Kite! The doctor said I'm good to leave. I told him that I would find you myself and I kind of snuck off. Ha ha! I'll see ya later!" Madoka spoke quickly before hanging up.
"Madoka!" Kite yelled.
"Is that the name of your sister?" Kite looked up at the girl, Ami, who looked back at him.
"Yea. That's her. She's always moving fast." Kite chuckled.
"You must really care about her." Ami noticed Saul's smile.
"Yea. She's my dumb sister and all but I still love her." Kite said.
"You shouldn't call your sister dumb." Ami said. Kite laughed as he leaned against the railing, looking at all the people and cars passing by.

"Is it raining again?" Tsubasa asked Madoka as she walked in, completely drenched.
"What do you think?" Madoka said as she shook herself to get the water off of her. The low sound of thunder echoed in the hallway that lead from the entrance to the main command room.
"Don't worry. This base was built with top quality materials. It's made to withstand any big storms or any natural disasters. Remember, my father built this facility as a base to build rockets and to train future astronauts." Satoru spoke directly to Tsubasa.
"I remember but it's just that we've done so much already in such a short amount of time. We've met our Super Sentai Senpai. We've upgraded the zords. We've trained together here. I'm getting emotional." Tsubasa covered his face as he turned away.
"Oh please." Sosuke rolled his eyes.
"Ok, it's ready." Maya and Runo came walking in from the hallway.
"You guys started without me?!" Madoka ran up to the girls.
"Sorry Madoka. You took a really hard hit." Maya said.
"What happened?" Runo asked the two girls.
"Madoka thought that she could surprise her brother by attacking him when he least expected it. She thought it was good training and in the end she hurt her arm." Maya explained.
"Ouch." Runo made a face of displeasure.
"But don't worry. I'm all good." Madoka flipped her hair back, trying to act cool.
"Anyways, we finally finished this and I'm going to admit it tomorrow." Runo held up a book.
"What are you going to admit?" Hyoma asked as he passed by with an apple in his hand.
"Nothing. Just a short story I wrote." Runo began to sound nervous all of sudden.
"Let me see." Hyoma took a bite from his apple as he held his hand out.
"I can't. You'll just have to read it some other time." Runo smiled nervously and Hyoma studied her.
"Runo, if you weren't my sister, I'd-" Hyoma was interrupted as the base's alarm went off.
"A monster?" Kenta asked.
"I think so." Satoru said as he walked up to the main computer and began typing on the keyboard.
"What's that?" Tsubasa pointed to something on the screen.
"That's weird. The thunderstorm is acting strangely." Satoru said as he saw what was being shown on the screen.
"Is that lightning striking in one spot only?" Kyoya asked as he got closer.
"You're right. That's what's strange. This never happens during thunderstorms." Satoru said.
"You know what they always say, lighting never strikes the same place twice." Ryuga said from where he sat.
"That's technically a lie because it actually does strike the same place twice. More than twice actually." Tsubasa crossed his arms.
"Dude, it's just a saying." Ryuga turned to his friend. As they watched, Satoru's phone rang.
"Hello?" He answered.
"I assume you are all watching what's happening. Tune into the camera on the side of my building." Hiroto's voice came through.
Satoru followed the direction given to him and he opened up a page with video footage of a plaza. In the center of the plaza, stood a monster who looked up into the sky. Lighting struck him one after another. The monster glowed yellow every time it was struck.
"What is that thing?" Tsubasa asked.
"Don't know. All I know is that it's dangerous." Satoru got up and walked to the Chance Striker.
Satoru pushed the button and the machine began working. Everyone in the room prepared themselves. Out of nowhere, the first battery shot out. Kenta caught it and fell on his back. Kyoya caught his next, spinning around as he caught it. Shun followed as he lifted himself up to catch the high flying battery. Runo and Maya managed to catch theirs without any complications. Tsubasa was the final person to catch his.
"Move out immediately." Satoru informed.
"Everyone, let's go!" Tsubasa commanded and the chosen rangers followed.
"Take care of this." Runo handed her book over to Madoka who nodded. Hyoma watched and began to suspect Runo of hiding something.
A while later, the group arrived at the plaza. They looked at what was happening. Luckily, no one was present. The rangers moved forward, transforming as they did.
The monster roared as it continued to collect lighting from the sky. The rangers all found places to hide as they noticed another figure appear.
"Rindar, my precious Kaiju. Are you full yet?" Raizuma appeared and asked the monster, who stopped absorbing lightning and faced his master.
The monster just stood still, breaking heavily. Raizuma laughed.
"I can see that process is being made. Continue your work." Raizuma turned around and left.
Rindar confirmed the exit of his master before starting again. As he began he was suddenly shot by various laser bullets. Rindar growled before looking up at the incoming group of rangers.
"Hey, lightning pole. What do you think you're doing?" Green spoke as he and the others came to a stop.
The monster only stared at them, growling very quietly.
"If you won't talk, we'll make you talk!" White charged forward like a rhino only to be blasted back.
"I don't think you should do that." Raizuma jumped down from the upper level of the plaza.
"Who are you?" Blue asked.
"I am the strongest ninja to ever live. With the power of lighting and thunder, I can defeat all of you." Raizuma claimed.
"Strongest... ninja?" White said as he looked at him.
"That's right. Rindar! Continue your mission!" Raizuma charged forward. White jumped up and backed up before back flipping away from the monsters punches.
Rindar obeyed and began collecting energy from the lightning strikes. Raizuma charged at the rangers who all moved out of the way. Blue and Green struck first, throwing punches simultaneously. Gold and Pink kept their distance and shot at Raizuma using their Raiku Blasters. White and Raptor followed the attack with their own as they struck at the monster with their Raiku sabers.
Raizuma took all the attacks but seemed to only have a scratch. He stood still, breathing heavily as he watched the rangers. Lightning struck Rindar and Raizuma disappeared. The rangers were left stunned. Blue was then slashed right across his chest, causing him to fly up a bit before falling and hitting the ground.
The others tried attacking, but Raizuma was too quick. The monster chuckled as he took out the rangers one by one. By the end of his attack, White was the only left standing.
"I've seen those moves. Where?" White began thinking to himself as he watched Raizuma move.
"It matters not, child." Raizuma slashed at White.
"Those movements." Kenta made a fist as he tried to stand.
"Kenta! Those movements are from the Ikazuchi Ninja School." Satoru's voice broke in through the coms.
"Ikazuchi? I knew it. I saw it one night after you left one of your books open Satoru. When I saw ninjas, it got my attention and I read it. I found out that the Gouraigers used the Ikazuchi way. I can't let that power be used by evil." White stood up.
"If you've read about them, then how come you don't know that the Gouraigers themselves used the Ikazuchi way for evil before." Raizuma's voice reached White.
"Nani?" White looked around before being hit directly in the chest by Raizuma.
Raizuma chuckled as he walked up to White, only to see a wooden dummy in his place. Raizuma looked shocked.
"I did read that!" White lunged forward, slashing at Raizuma with his scythe.
"How did you do that?" Raizuma asked.
"I'm a ninja as well. Except I didn't study the ways of Hayate or Ikazuchi. I studied Shuriken Ninpo. And, while I technically can't use shurikens, I've found a way to make it work. It's my own style." White put his hands together. "Shuriken Ninpo - Kin no Jutsu!"
Raizuma backed up as he awaited the attack. After a second, nothing happened. Then, a small scrap of metal hit Raizuma's head. It was really small, that Raizuma felt nothing.
"Heh, what was that?" Raizuma looked at White.
"Well... it's still in the works. Stupid shurikens." White said.
"I've got you now!" Raizuma jumped forward only to be kicked by Green.
"You don't have anything." Green said as the team regrouped.
"Shall we?" Up on the ledge of a building, stood two figures. Kemono Crimson and Kemono Navy.
"Let's end their fun." Crimson said as he and Navy disappear with the flash of lightning.
"Let's finish him." Blue said. The team nodded in agreement and began to charge only to be hit by lightning.
"Nani?" Raptor said as they all looked up.
"What just happened?" Pink asked.
"They just happened." Blue pointed as the rangers looked up and saw two figures stand before them.
"Who are they?" Gold asked.
"That doesn't matter right now." Navy said.
"We will destroy you." Crimson said.

In Ami's hospital room, Kite finished drying himself off. He looked back at Ami who was in her bed, watching the tv. Kite sat down in the chair next to her.
"You ok?" Kite asked the girl.
"Yea. The rain was surprising but I'm alright." Ami smiled as she turned to Kite.
"That's good. Ami, if you don't mind me asking, do you really not remember anything?" Kite asked. Ami's face went blank. Kite gasped a bit.
"I feel tired." Ami said as she turned off the tv and lied down. She turned to the side.
'I really did it now.' Kite slapped himself mentally.
"Ami? Gomen, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings to to make you sad." Kite stood up. "Ami?"
There was no response.
Kite sighed as he scolded himself. He walked to the door and looked back. Ami had turned to the way. Kite sighed as he closed the door. Ami had tears in her eyes. She then looked behind her, hoping Kite was still there but he wasn't.
Kite walked out of the hospital, feeling regret for what he said. He crossed a street and got to a parking lot. He walked up to his car until he heard a voice calling him.
"Don't worry Kite. I'm sure she isn't mad at you. Now, your friends are fighting a monster who interests me. Will you allow me to take over?" It was HurricaneRed who spoke to him.
"I'm worried about Ami. For the past hour, she spoke to me about her hopes and dreams and yet, she can't remember a single thing from her past except for her name. I feel too bad to fight." Kite answered.
"I'll take that as a yes." Suddenly, the Hurricaneger symbol appeared before Kite and it backed itself into him.
"Now! Let's go!" HurricaneRed's voice called through Kite's body and he was off.
"Should we follow him?" On the hospital roof, two men stood tall.
The first man had black, slicked back hair. He wore a black leather jacket with the sides of the torso colored crimson. He wore black trousers and black boots. The second man had medium-lengthened light brown hair. He also wrote a black leather jacket with navy coloring on his torso. He wore black trousers as well as black boots.
"No. If what we know is correct, that monster will come back here to take the girl. We must protect her." The first man said.
"What's so special about her?" The second man asked.
"She's got ninja abilities beyond belief. If Raizuma finds a way to get her powers to awaken, all ninjas in the world will he in danger." The first man responded.
"I see. So we leave the Kemonorangers to Yousuke?" The second man asked.
"For now." The first man said.
Down below, Ami looked out her window, watching Kit run off into the night.

The rangers battled the two new rangers. They couldn't get a hit on them as they avoided all their attacks.
Blue, Green and White were currently battling Crimson while Pink, Gold and Raptor fought Navy. Raizuma chuckled. He watched them battle as Rindar continued collecting lightning.
Crimson held the rangers at will. He pulled out the staff he had on his back. He jerked it forward, causing it to extend. He began spinning the staff, hitting Blue and Green. White got the drop on him from behind but it made no difference. Crimson pushed the staff back into White. White grabbed it and held it just a few inches from his stomach.
Navy did a similar thing with his staff. He pulled it out and extended it, slashing at Raptor and sending him flying back into a wall. He then faced the attack of the girls. He spun the staff around as the girls attacked. He hit Gold back but Pink managed to get a punch in.
Navy fell back but got up immediately. He threw his staff forward, hitting Raptor once again. He then pulled out his Raiku Saber. He began a sword fight with the girls. The girls held their ground. They pushed him back. Navy chuckled as he pushed them back with sudden force only to be slashed by Raptor.
"Hit me one more time!" Raptor said as he and Navy clashed.
Crimson kicked White back and grabbed shot the staff at Blue who caught it and returned an attack with it. Crimson dodged but managed to grab the tip of the staff. He spun it around again and hit Green. Green slid back and summoned his Elephant Sabers. He clashed with Crimson who held his own saber and his staff against the two swords.
Navy kicked Pink back. Raptor ran back to catch his teammate. Navy then blasted Raptor back with his Raiku blaster. Pink spun on the ground, trying to trip Navy but she failed. She pulled herself back as Navy stood tall, holding his blaster pointed at her. His arm then glowed with blue colored electricity. He put his finger on the trigger.
"No!" Gold jumped in the way and was shot in the gut.
"Runo!" Pink yelled.
"Onee-Chan!" Raptor yelled. He blasted Navy back and ran to Gold.
"Shun. It hurts." Gold said as she held her side.
"How did his blaster do that?" Raptor watched as blood came from Gold's side.
"Runo." Pin ran to her side.
"It hurts." Gold said as her transformation was undone. She coughed as the rain hit her face.
"Onee-Chan!" Raptor yelled.
"They got Shun's sister." Blue and White watched what was happening.
"Sister?" Crimson questioned.
"Ha!" Green slashed at Crimson and kicked him back. He then pulled out a battery and inserted it into his sabers. They began to glow and Crimson pulled himself up.
"His... sister?" Crimson said.
"You bastards!" Green slashed two huge green energy blades at Crimson. Crimson got hit head on and an explosion occurred behind him.
"You bastard!" Raptor stood up and attacked Navy who had just gotten up. He was then kicked back to where Crimson was.
The pair looked up and watched as the rangers gathered around Runo. Runo's hand was being held by Pink who put the girls head in her lap. Raptor shook the girl, trying to wake her up.
"Sora?" Navy looked at Crimson.
"He has a... sister?" Crimson said as a string of memories hit him.
"Tch. Pathetic. Crimson! Navy! Don't forget about our agreement. Looks like I'll have to do something to show you that I'm not messing around." Raizuma disappeared.
"Where is he going?" Navy asked.
"Doesn't matter. We need to take care of them. I don't know how that fucker got the money to help my sister. We need to do what he says if we don't want her to die." Crimson stood up. He then charged up with red electricity. Navy followed him and charged up with blue electricity. They both roared as they ran forward.
The others turned to them. They were surprised as the two rangers came at them. Above them, there were two bigger figures. A huge spirit of a falcon flew above Crimson while a huge spirit of a jaguar ran above Navy.
"No!" Blue jumped forward as he saw what they were going to do.
The pair punched Blue and the ranger exploded instantly. Blue flew through the air. He crashed into a tree and slid down, complete demorphed, bleeding from his mouth.
"Tsubasa!" Green yelled.
"You are all next!" Crimson yelled.
"Air Stride!" Red appeared suddenly and blasted the two back. He landed in front of the others.
"Kite?!" Pink looked at him.
"Not exactly." HurricaneRed's voice came out.
"He must be one of the legendary reds." White commented.
"Exactly. Pink and Raptor, you get the girl and the boy out of here. The rest of you, take care of the stupid monster. I've got these two." Red jumped up in the air and began running... in the air.
"How's he doing that?" White asked.
"He must be HurricaneRed. It might be best if we follow his instructions." Satoru's voice came through the morphers again.
"Got it." Pink used her strength to pull Runo to her feet. Raptor also helped an injured Tsubasa up. Pink then called for her Zord which passed by quickly. The four were gone.
"The rest of us, let's go!" Green said. The remaining rangers charged towards Rindar. The monster saw them and stopped what he was doing but at a bad time. He was shocked and sent tumbling back. He got up only to be attacked by the rangers.
"We've got to stop them." Crimson said as he and Navy began to move.
"I'm your opponent." Red said as he slashed at the two with his Tiger Sword.
"Get out of our way! You stupid rich boy!" Crimson yelled as he dashed forward. He hit Red's sword with his own.
"Nani?" Red asked as he held Crimson back.
"This is all your fault. If it hadn't been for you, my family wouldn't have had debt. My family wouldn't have had abandoned me. My sister wouldn't be in the hospital!" Crimson slashed at Red. Spark came off Red as he stumbled back.
"I don't know what you are talking about." HurricaneRed said as he ran forward.
"Zyro! Take care of the others." Crimson commanded. Navy nodded and went towards Rindar. Crimson gripped his sword as he ran forward.
"What's your problem?" Red asked.
"You are Tategami! You and your stupid family." Crimson slashed at Red.
"What did Tate- I mean my family ever do to you?" HurricaneRed put himself in Kite's shoes figuratively since he was already technically doing that physically.
"The second that they invented those stupid AI robots to help with everyday problems, my father was out of work. Then, my life went out of control." Crimson said as he began remembering what happened in the past.
~5 years ago~
A young man woke up in the queen sized bed he lay in. He stretched and yawned. He got out of bet and changed from his pajamas. He changed into a white polo shirt with a red collar and red accents on his arms. He wore blue jeans along with classic styled converse shoes. He adjusted his hair in the mirror.
He sighed and smiled. He walked out of his room and was greeted with the sight of his mother and sister.
"Ohayo, Kasan, Ami-Chan." The boy kissed his mother's cheek and then his sisters head.
"Someone is quite peppy today." His mother said as she finished cooking. His mother had brown hair that went down to her neck. She wore a white blouse with a purple sweater over it. She wore a long blue skirt and her slippers.
The boys sister wore her white school uniform with a red tie and a blue skirt. She wore thigh-high black socks and her slippers. Her hair was long, brown and silky. She had it tired up into a ponytail.
"Of course I'm happy. I'm taking a trip to America to see collage campuses." The boy said.
"I can't believe you are leaving Japan, Onii-Chan." His sister, Ami, said as she flipped through the magazine she was reading. She seemed to be eating some special type of breakfast.
"It's always been my dream to study computers and graphics. I think that America has great schools for that kind of stuff." The boy said.
"That may be true but you know what your father said, Sora." His mother placed a plate of food in front of him. He placed his hands together before beginning to eat.
"I know but he's got a great job. He won't need me getting a job to help around." The boy, Sora, said as he ate.
Just as he finished his statement, his father walked in. He had flat, black hair. He wore a grey suit with black shoes. He seemed agitated.
"Honey? What's wrong?" The boys mother asked.
"I have bad news." The man slammed the table, "I was just fired. Stupid Tategami! He'll regret it!" The man said and the three other occupants were left in a state of shock.
"Let's talk about it." The boys mother took the father into the other room.
"He got fired. What does this mean?" Ami turned to Sora who ate quietly.
"I don't know but whatever happens, I'll be by your side." Sora smiled. They sat there for a little while longer, in silence.
"What! He still wants to go!" The mans voice broke through the silence.
"Oh no." Ami said.
"Sora!" The man walked in.
"Honey, stop it!" Sora' smother grabbed the mans arm.
"Let me go!" The man ripped away from her grasp only to slap his son.
"Sora." Ami said.
"You've heard about the problems I've been having at work, I know you have. Yet, you are still hell bent on going. Well, if you want to go, then go! But know this, if you leave, you are no longer my son!" The man said as stared the boy down.
"Tosan!" Ami yelled.
"What do you mean?" Sora stood up.
"Forget it. Leave this instant. You've been nothing but trouble for me and you still expect me to pay for your school and your needs. I no longer have a son!" The man grabbed Sora and dragged him to the door. He threw the boy against the railing that was outside the house.
"Sora!" Ami called out.
"Honey!" His mother called.
The door was then slammed. Sora looked at the door with tears in his eyes but he wasn't crying.
"What... just happened?" Sora asked as he stared.
~flashback ends~
"I still am confused about that night. All I know is... that this is all your fault!" Crimson grabbed his staff and slashed at Red.
Over with Rindar, Navy kicked Green back. Whitecame into attack but was kept at bay. White couldn't get a hit in. Navy laughed as he slashed at him, sending him falling.
Green found a quick way around. He charged at Navy and hit him head on. He then slashed at him before kicking him aside. He then ran towards Rindar and slashed the monster.
With the other two, Red hit Crimson back. Red swiped the mouth of his helmet before pulling out his blaster. He shot at Crimson.
"I don't know what happened to you but you can't blame others for your misfortune." Red said.
"Misfortune? You piece of shit!" Crimson was about to charge until a huge lightning bolt hit the ground where Rindar was.
"What the hell is happening?" Green said as he took a step back.
"He's growing!" White stated as he pointed.
Within seconds, Rindar was in his giant form, roaring as he began to move around. The rangers watched him.
"This is bad." Red said.
"Guys! I hit the Chance Striker again. I know we have injured rangers but we got lucky, it chose the TripleOh. Purple is already on his way." Satoru called through the morphers.
"Roger!" Green and White claimed as they saw their zords arrive. They jumped up as the Wolf Zord attacked the monster head on only to be shot with a lightning bolt.
"Wow! This guys powerful." Purple said as he backed the Zord up.
"Let's get right to it." Green said.
"Sutoraiku Gattai!" The three called as the giant robot was formed, "TripleOh!"
The robot jerked forward as it slashed at the monster with its sword. Rindar roared as it punched the robot in the gut before slashing at it with his claws.
"Now, I'll destroy you." Crimson prepared to attack Red.
"Sora! We need to protect Rindar. You know what'll happen if we don't." Navy said.
"Argh! Fine!" Crimson turned to Red, "Next time, I'll defeat you." Crimson ran over to Navy.
"Let's do it." Navy said as he pulled out a battery.
"Yea." Crimson followed. They put them in the Morphers they had on their wrists. They then angled their arm so that their hand pointed up. They pushed what looked to be the bottom of the morpher. Their batteries were shot up into the air.
-0-0-0-0-
The batteries flew through the dark skies, coming to a mountain that lie outside the city. The first battery flew in through the top of the mountain and landed inside of darkness. Glowing green eyes then cut through that darkness.
The second battery flew into the bottom of the mountain. Inside the darkness, glowing red eyes appeared. From both entrances, giant beasts emerged.
The first beast looked like a falcon. It was crimson colored with green eyes. It had numbers on its wings. The number 13 was present, styled like a falcon.
The second beast looked like a jaguar. It was navy colored with red eyes. On its side, it had a number. It looked to be the number 14, styled like a jaguar.
The two beasts roared before heading to the city where the giants were battling.
-0-0-0-0-
TripleOh and Rindar were currently still battling. It was already five minutes into the battle and the rangers were trying their best to attack. Rindar pushed them back and TripleOh slashed. TeipleOh got its footing back and was about to attack until they heard a loud screech.
"What the hell is that?" White asked.
"Falcon Zord!" Crimson jumped into the giant falcon and attacked TripleOh.
"No way!" Purple claimed.
"Jaguar Zord!" Navy jumped into the giant jaguar and attacked TripleOh from behind.
"You won't get a chance to finish Rindar." Crimson said as he pushed the tail wheel forward. The hawk attacked more than five times.
Red watched from the bottom. He looked as the battle only got worse and the storm along with it. He was about to call his own Zord until he got a call on his morpher.
"Hello?" Red asked.
"Yousuke! This is Ikkou. Come to the hospital quickly!" The voice of one of the men from the hospital rooftop came through.
"Ikkou?" Red looked up before running off.
-0-0-0-0-
Ami held onto the railings on the wall. She tried her best to run. She just felt so weak suddenly. A nurse then tried running after her but the nurse was hit with a blast of lightning.
"It's no use running little girl, I'll catch you." Raizuma walked towards the girl.
"Like I'd let you!" One of the men from the rooftop crashed into Raizuma.
"Isshuu! Be careful." The other man, Ikkou, called as he ran after the girl.
"Get out of the way, you cur." Raizuma shocked the man, Isshuu, and sent him flying into a wall
Ikkou then fought Raizuma next only to be easily swatted away. Raizuma walked forward and Ami began moving faster into to feel something in her body change. She paused for a moment before falling to the ground. She began to cry for help as she held her chest.
"What's happening?" Isshuu asked.
"It's... her heart condition." A still conscious nurse said as she leaned against a wall.
"Heart condition?" Ikkou questioned.
"Yes. She has a weak heart and if too much pressure is put on her, her heart will strain itself and send her into a state of shock." The nurse said and the two men widened their eyes.
"Don't worry, you won't die on me yet." Raizuma said as shocked the girl. Ami gasped for air before being grabbed by Raizuma.
"No!" Isshuu yelled as he ran after them. He jumped on top of Raizuma and the three disappeared in a flash.
"Isshuu!" Ikkou yelled.

The two giants fought as two more beasts attacked. TripleOh began failing as it couldn't get a hit in.
"This is getting ridiculous." Purple said.
"How about you cowards combine and make it a fair fight!" White yelled.
"Idiot!" Green smacked him.
"You heard him. Let's finish them off." Crimson said as he pulled out a battery and put it in his console. The zords then moved towards each other.
"Sutoraiku Gattai!" The pair yelled in unison.
The two zords roared as thunder roared and lighting struck. TripleOh watched as the jaguar jumped into the air. It's head and tail retracted into its body. It then split into legs, with feet coming out of the bottom. It also created a lower torso. The Falcon Zord then flew closer and landed on top of the jaguar. It stood tall, retracting its wings as it stood taller. It's body then produced arms with hands. It also created the upper torso. The falcon head transferred itself onto the middle of its body. On its back, it had closed wings. On top, a head appeared. The new robots head was covered with a falcon helmet. It had a silver face with black markings.
"ThunderOh!" The two yelled as the giant robot stood tall.
"You had to say something." Green said.
"Time to finish things. Let's go!" Crimson said as the giant robot charged forward. The two robots clashed, hitting each other with barrages of punches.
"Don't worry Ami." Navy pulled out a golden locket. He opened it and looked at a picture of the girl, "We will save you." Navy gripped the wheel he used to steer.
"Argh!" TripleOh slammed into its attackers.
"You will fall!" Crimson yelled.
Above the city, the three giants stood. Rindar growled as the two robots stared each other down before getting into fighting positions...
BOOM!
