Interlude:

Geo: Finally. More retainers of my king and overlord.

Arata: Retainers? Ha! Don't you see that Sora there doesn't like Kite.

Geo: It matters not whether he likes him or not. He will serve the king. Now, as for you... where were you the last few days.

Arata: That's none of your business.

Geo: Being secretive I see.

Arata: Sometimes keeping secrets is good.

Kite: Honestly speaking, keeping secrets never ends well.

Arata: Of course you would say that. You have secrets that you don't even know about-

Kite: What was that?

Arata: Nothing!

Kite: Arata! Tell me what you said!

Geo: It seems he is keeping something from you my king.

Arata: Don't you know everything about him already.

Tsubasa: If we're being honest, we don't really know a lot about each other.

Arata: Shut up!

Sosuke: Tsk Tsk, Arata is being a bad guy.

Arata: Why is everyone coming in here all of a sudden.

Geo: We shall figure this out later. Let us return to the story.

Arata: Let's!

Kite: This isn't over Arata!

Chapter 28: The Bomb Flying Wonder

"Baishisu. What are we doing here?" Zaku asked the goblin as they stood around in the lab.

The goblin tensed as he heard the generals voice but he remained calm and excited. He turned to face Zaku and Raizuma. Behind them, Jiku appeared, looking lost and bored.

"Welcome to my lab. Of course you have all seen it before. What I wanted to do is show you something that may give us a chance against the Kemonorangers." Baishisu moved around a bit until he got to an object that was big and was hiding under a big sheet.

Baishisu chuckled as he pulled the cover off, revealing a figure. A robot. It had the shape of an airplane on its back. It's arms were strapped to airplane wings and its head was attached to what looked like the front of an airplane. On its arms were turbines that looked moveable. It's legs were also trapped to airplane parts and looked to make the tail of an airplane when they came together. Finally, its body was just a bunch of airline stickers and its face had no mouth, only big, narrowed red and pinkish eyes.

"What is that thing?" Raizuma asked.

"This... well this is Eapuraito, one of my creations. He is a robot based on an airplane." Baishisu explained.

"Ah a robot. Something new I see." Kasuto appeared behind Jiku. Jiku cleared his throat.

"It is an interesting idea, Baishisu. What inspired you to build this." Jiku asked.

"Well, I figured that maybe monsters were just too weak since they don't have the ability to bring out their full strength. I thought that building a robot that has the capability of learning and becoming stronger may be a great idea." Baishisu explained as he rubbed the robots back before pushing a button.

"I am at your service master." The robot spoke suddenly in a deep voice.

"Impressive Baishisu. No need for further explanations. Send him out as soon as possible. I have business to attend to." Jiku nodded, patting the goblin on the back before leaving.

"Seems you're taking Jiku's competition seriously. We better watch out." Kasuto chuckled as he left along with Junichi and Naomi.

"Heh, he's got a point. Can't let you get ahead of this in this game." Raizuma said as he walked out as well.

"Well played goblin. But know that I won't back down." Zaku eyed him down before leaving.

"You will all see my potential. Now, Eapuraito, go out there and plant your special gifts." Baishisu walked back to his workbench.

"Very well master, as you command." The robot saluted and left.

Kenta yawned as he watched the students run around. He was sitting waiting for his friends to arrive at the lunch table they always sat on. He looked up to see Madoka walking alongside a guy. She seemed to be smiling as she broke away from him.

"Who's the dude?" Kenta asked before placing his chin on top of his bag which sat on the table.

"Why do you care?" Madoka had an irritated tone that gave Kenta the hint and he kept to himself. Akira was the next to arrive.

"Yo, Madoka, who was that dude. I thought you had a crush on me." Akira smirked.

"Not anymore. Now that I know the real you, you don't really matter to me." Madoka said as she unpacked the lunch she made for herself.

"Ouch. So, you just like playing around with guys huh?" Akira laughed as he pulled a notebook out of his pocket. Satoru and Natsuki sat down next followed by Sosuke.

"Of course she does." Sosuke scoffed. Madoka gave him a glare but he shrugged it off.

"What can I say. I just don't feel like I can tie myself to one guy." Madoka smirked.

"Or girl." Kenta mumbled.

"What was that?" Madoka looked directly at him.

"Nothing!" Kenta looked away and began whistling.

"Ah! How are my favorite students doing today?" The table turned to see Yuusaku appear in his grey suit.

"Senpai! How are you today?" Satoru greeted with a bright smile.

"Well, I'm starting to get the hang of this whole principal thing. I just hope Date-San can find a way out soon or your school is doomed." Yuusaku spoke with a worried expression.

"What are you talking about? Ever since you got here, the students feel much safer, the uniforms were finally decided on." The group stood up showing off their uniforms. They all wore white shirts underneath a dark blue blazer. The guys wore tan and black colored trousers. The girls wore tan and black colored skirts. The socks were the height that the student chose to have and the shoes were black. The students were also able to choose their own footwear.

"Ah, well it's only because I had your help. If not, I'm sure the uniforms would've been a bright red or something that you can see from miles away." Yuusaku chuckled.

"Well, I love the uniform." Natsuki hugged herself and rocked herself.

"Glad to hear it." The older man smiled.

"Ah, Yuusaku-San, before you leave, I wanted your input on some of my newest inventions." Satoru stood up and pulled his laptop out of his backpack.

"Interesting. Finally able to see something that has to do with technology. How about we meet in my office?" Yussaku offered.

"Of course. I'll see you guys later then?" Satoru turned to the group.

"We always do." Sosuke stood up and began walking away.

"That's what I like to hear." Satoru rolled his eyes before following Yuusaku.

"What was Sosuke's problem there?" Kenta asked.

"Don't know and quite frankly, I don't care." Akira answered.

"Just forget about it." Madoka said before looking over at the boy who walked away.

Kite struggled to push something. What was that something? Well, Kite and Zyro were currently arm wrestling and both of them used their force to the max. Ami sat to the side cheering them both on, with most of her chants being for Zyro.

Eventually Kite took the advantage and took Zyro down, almost knocking him over. Zyro let out a huge sigh as he sat back.

"Geez, how could you even hold up against me? No one has ever come close to beating me." Zyro said.

"Well, when you have a sister with immeasurable strength, you can go a long way." Kite smirked as he sat back.

"Wow, Sora. You are an impressive swordsman." Tsubasa commented as he, Sora, Kyoya and Ryuga entered the room.

"Trained for years using different swords and different techniques." Sora explained as he sat down.

"You need to tell me where you've been, Onii-Chan. I've missed you and I bet you have a lot of fun stories." Ami glanced at Sora who smiled and nodded.

"My king, may we celebrate your victory." Geo appeared with a bottle of wine.

"Really. I don't think that's necessary." Kite leaned back in his chair as he sighed.

"Of course it is. Any of your victories is." Geo opened the wine and made wine glasses appear from out of no where.

"We shouldn't because it isn't necessary. Now take it back to where you got it and do me a favor. Go check up on Arata. I haven't seen that fool around here lately." Kite closed his eyes.

"Very well, as the king wishes." Geo made the cups disappear into thin air and left the room, doing the same with the wine bottle.

"So, what's his deal?" Zyro asked.

"Nothing. He just showed up one day and began spitting out that I was destined to be king and all that nonsense. I got to say, a piece of me wants to believe him but the rest of me says he's just a weirdo but a fun weirdo to be around. Like having one of those really weird friends." Kite sat up and spoke clearly.

"I hope he's just spitting that out without thinking. Having you as a king would probably be the death of the people." Sora scoffed.

"Onii-Chan!" Ami glared at him.

"It's alright. I still don't know why you're mad at me for but hopefully one day, you'll get over it and we can be good friends." Kite stretched and yawned.

"Ha! That won't be happening anytime soon." Sora crossed his legs as he took a sip from his water.

Arata ran through the plaza and stopped just at the corner of a building. He watched as the SES walked around, looking for something or someone, from what Arata could understand. He followed them as they arrived to a section of trees that were all planted together.

Arata stayed hidden, watching what they were doing. The men aimed their weapons towards the tree, causing Arata to look up in curiosity. He stayed staring for a minute before realizing what was up there.

"You boys need to give up already." A voice said as a figure pounced onto the lead soldier, attacking him before doing a backflip and landing on the ground in front of the group.

"That's a?" Arata gasped as the figure stood up straight.

"There he is!" A soldier yelled out.

"Oh please." The figure, a ranger, shook his head before going in to attack.

The ranger attacked three soldiers with a sweep kick before taking care of another one with his fists. He then jumped up again, his arms and legs pointed straight down as he kicked another soldier back. The ranger landed back on the ground and swiped his helmet, grinning underneath his helmet.

"Who the hell is that?" Arata asked as he watched the ranger.

"Kemonoranger!" Arata turned to see Ryotaro show up with his weapon drawn. It looked like any typical machine gun but seemed to have various attachments that made the weapon a weapon of precision and accuracy. Arata had studied weapons and seeing this one confused and intrigued him.

"Ah, it's you again. Sorry about the soldiers." The ranger waved his hand, literally apologizing.

"Heh, as if I cared. They were just the front line. I'm the all powerful one after all." Ryotaro smirked and kept the weapon aimed at the ranger.

"Ryotaro, if you are going to take him down, then do it." Arata turned to see the woman he called his cousin.

"Mari." Arata grit his teeth as he watched her get closer to Ryotaro.

"Are the reinforcements here?" Ryotaro asked without turning to face her.

"Of course they are sir." Mari, with an expressionless face, answered.

"Why is her face like that? She used to be all happy and cheerful." Arata whispered to himself.

"Reinforcements? Ha! You can't stop me with that." The ranger scoffed as he shook his finger.

"This dude sounds like he's full of himself." Arata rolled his eyes.

"Get him." Ryotaro said simply and the weapons aimed at the ranger.

"Ok, I give up." The ranger lifted his hands up.

"Fire on my mark." Ryotaro said. Arata shifted his head to the side as his eyes widened. The ranger just stared at Ryotaro.

"Fire!" Ryotaro yelled.

"Wait!" Arata yelled as he jumped out and transformed. "Face On!" He yelled as he ran into battle, knocking out the soldiers one by one.

"Another one?" Ryotaro stared at him.

"Arata." Mari said to herself.

DekaOmega finished off the last of the soldiers and looked at Ryotaro. The man aimed his weapon.

"That damned panther is dying today!" Ryotaro yelled.

"Heh." Panther chuckled as he jumped forward and knocked Ryotaro back into a wall.

"Ryotaro!" Mari ran over to him.

"Stay away from him Mari!" DekaOmega got in the girls way.

"Get out of my way, DekaOmega." Mari said coldly.

"I can't do that. You need to return to Kite and Madoka. You can't trust this man." DekaOmega turned towards Ryotaro.

"Kite and Madoka?" Mari said as she looked at him.

~flashback - four years ago~

"Come on, Onee-Chan! The beach is waiting forus!" A young girl held her older sisters hand trying to drag her down to the beach.

"I will, just give me a sec." The older girl responded. She then turned her attention to her father and her uncle who were currently arguing farther away from the house they were currently in.

"Screw you Doji! I will find Jiku's tomb. Father hid him within this mountain range." Her uncle looked at the mountains in the distance.

"You will do no such thing! Now, I will be expecting you down at the beach in twenty minutes." Her father walked away. Her uncle just clenched his fist and walked away.

"Nee-San? Are you ok?" A sixteen year old teen came up to her.

"I'm ok, just thinking about police work and what not." Mari chuckled nervously.

"Ok, let's go after Madoka. She took off with Gingka and Sophie without Kaa-San and she is pissed." The teen said as he chuckled.

"Let's go." Mari said as she held into her brothers arm and they left.

~flashback ends~

"I-I don't know who those people are." Mari said as she pulled out a blaster and hit DekaOmega right in the chest.

"Heh, just shot you like that huh?" Panther walked around DekaOmega and looked down at him.

"Mari." DekaOmega tried to stand up but felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Ryotaro." Mari ran up to him.

"Ah! Victims! Bombs away!" The rangers looked up to see some sort of robot fly by and drop two bombs. The bombs exploded behind them and they all flew up in the air before falling back down to the ground, groaning in pain.

The robot landed and turned around, laughing as he watched his victims on the ground holding themselves.

"What the hell?" Panther said as he stood up.

"I've never... seen anything like that before." DekaOmega stood up.

"Let's just say, I'm the Bomb Flying Wonder!" The robot said as he ran at them. Panther dodged and DekaOmega was punched in the gut. DekaOmega was then punched back and he rolled towards Mari and Ryotaro.

"Capture him." Ryotaro commanded.

"Of course." Mari took out a pair of handcuffs.

"Can't let you do that." Suddenly, a scarf hit the girls hands and Geo arrived on scene.

"Mari-neechan." Red arrived next to him.

"Get him!" Crimson and Navy jumped in and attacked the robot. Black and White then slashed at him with their weapons before having Silver jump off their shoulders and hit him directly with his shield.

"Ahh, Kemonorangers. Taste my bombs!" The robot began throwing random bombs at the rangers.

The rangers all flew in the air as the explosion caught them off guard.

"We are going to stop you!" Red stood up and ran at Eapuraito and clashed with him. After a few flying punches, the robot got tired.

"Guess I'll have to push you back the hard way." The robot punched Red in the gut and sent him flying into a wall. The robot then began to levitate and its turbines rotated, facing the rangers.

"This isn't good." Black said as he stood up.

"Turbine Power Level 3!" Eapuraito yelled as the turbines began spinning fast, pushing the rangers back. Panther however, just brushed it off.

"Huh? How are... you doing... that?" White asked.

"It's simple when you've been through the worst storms seen on the planet." Panther chuckled as he walked forward with ease.

"Ah, a new retainer. And he seems to be strong." Geo whispered to himself.

"Nani? How!" Eapuraito finally noticed him.

"That's enough from you!" Panther lunged at the robot, kicking him right in the face and sending him flying into a building. Panther scoffed as he ran after him, jumping into the building. "Time to smash you like the robot you are." Panther pulled out a battery and put it into his morpher, punching in a code on the keypad.

His morphed looked different then the others. It had a circular dial on it with a small arrow that pointed at the section mentioned. There was a keypad under a section that was spilt into six different colors and letters. His dial was set to P, along with the black color. Right under the morpher, was a place to put in battery's. Similar to the Thunder Strike Morphers. Finally, a button sat in between the divided sections and the keypad.

He then pushed a button that had the silhouette of a weapon on it. He then put in a code.

# 258

He then followed it with his own personal number.

# 015

"Panther Hammer." The morphers voice spoke in a deep tone.

"Woah, his morpher announced his weapon." White pointed out as he and Silver arrived on scene quickly.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to update your morphers as well as your weapons." Panther turned his head a little to see them over his shoulder.

"Huh?" Silver stepped forward.

"Panther Hammer!" Panther yelled as a ball of light escaped from his number.

A silhouette of a weapon appeared within the light. It appeared to be a heavy hitter. Panther grabbed it and revealed it to be a huge hammer. It's handle was black. Both heads of the hammers were silver and bronze in color. There was also the engraving of a Panther in between the heads, on the piece that separated them.

"Take this!" Panther swing the hammer around and hit Eapuraito who wasn't even given a chance to stand straight. He fell straight down and hit the ground hard.

"At this rate I'll break apart." Eapuraito stated.

"That's the plan." Panther front flipped from the building and came flying down with the hammer doing farther then him.

"Not yet. The bombs are already in place. I just need to lay low until the times right." Eapuraito jumped out of the way and shot lasers at Panther hitting him directly in the chest, causing sparks to fly off him. Panther fell to the ground, his transformation going away as he hit the ground.

"Get him?" Black called as he ran after Eapuraito.

"No need to stay any longer." Eapuraito jumped up into the air, transformed into a plane and flew away.

"Hey you coward!" Black said before tripping over some rubble. He held his foot and rolled around until something caught his attention. A single golden coin lay around the rubble. He picked it up and observed it. It had a golden Panther engraving on it as well as the words "Eternal Love" engraved in the back. "Interesting." Black got up and undid his transformation.

"Argh! He got away. Shit! We got to get back to school! Let's go Sosuke! Bye guys!" Kenta grabbed Sosuke by his collar and dragged him away.

"Those two really left school to come here?" Crimson asked.

"Hey, the Chance Striker chose them just like it chose you two. Guess it just shows their commitment to this job." Silver shrugged as he walked back to where Panther had fallen.

As they got closer they noticed that Ryotaro and Mari were gone. Arata dragged himself up out of the rubble and punched the ground. He then found something on the ground. It was another golden coin, similar to the one Sosuke found but with different words, "Eternal Life". Arata groaned as he picked it up and forced himself to stand.

"My my, you sure are weak." Geo wakes up to him.

"Shut up, chronicler." Arata spat as he pushed his back in order to crack it.

"Argh. That hurt." Everyone stopped as they watched someone stand from the wreckage.

That someone was a young man, around 20 years old. He wore a black shirt with a silver jacket over it with bronze colored accents. He wore brown trousers as well as brown hiking boots. Around his neck was a pair of blue colored goggles with orange lenses. His hair was brown colored and was messy, almost spiked up. Finally, he wore a black bandanna in his forehead that covered most of it as well as his hair.

"Dammit!" The young man said as he slapped the ground.

"Hey, you!" Zyro called out to him.

"Huh? Oh, it's you guys. Guess it's time." The man stood up and stretched, yawning as he did. "The names Yuya. Murata Yuya." The man introduced himself as he pointed at himself with his thumb.

"Murata Yuya?" They all looked at each other.

"Yuya-San?" Arata walked up to him.

"Ah! Arata-Kun. How are you?" Yuya asked as he swiped his finger under his nose and crossed his arms.

"I'm good. Man! I haven't seen you in ages. After uncle had to get rid of some employees from the company, you and your family left. It was kind of sad." Arata rubbed his nape as he spoke to him.

"Yea. Well it wasn't Kite's fathers fault. My father always wanted to travel the world anyway so we got to go to a bunch of cool places. In fact, I just came back from Africa. Mom and Dad sent me back home to come watch my sister debut but I didn't tell that about the whole Kemonoranger thing. I mean your grandfather already talked to them about it but I gotta let em know that I'm staying." Yuya chuckled.

"You're still had peppy as ever." Hyoma said as he walked up to them.

"Ah! Hyoma-San!" Yuya pointed at the man.

"I see you have those same pair of googles." Hyoma pointed out the googles.

"Yup. With some upgrades of course." Yuya lifted them up to his eyes. He pushed a button the side and the Orange lenses lit up. A bunch of code became visible.

"What's he doing?" Zyro asked.

"I'm just looking into something... Kinoshita Zyro." Yuya smirked as he continued looking through his googles. In his view, he was still looking at everything in front of him except there was information displayed if he focused his vision some something specific.

"His googles give him information based on what he's looking at. For example, he focused on you and the goggles gave him all the information they could find about you." Hyoma explained.

"Yup. CIA trainee." Yuya chuckled.

"Hey! Not so loud!" Zyro scolded.

"Anyways," Yuya took off his googles, "I'm here looking for you guys but before I go with you to the base, I need to see my sister. And then I need to-" Yuya stopped suddenly as he reached into his pocket. He began fidgeting around his different pockets.

"You good?" Arata asked.

"Yea, it's just that, uh, I can't find them!" Yuya yelled as he kept moving around.

"What are you looking for?" Arata asked.

"Two gold coin necklaces. My parents gave them to me and I'm supposed to give one to Rina-neechan." Yuya said as he looked around.

"Do they happen to look like this?" Arata held out the coin he found on the ground. He let it fall out of his palm and hang from his hand.

"Ah! Yes. Let me see." Arata handed Yuya the necklace, allowing him to read what was written on the back. "This is the one for me. Now I need to find the one for Rina-neechan." Yuya began looking around immediately.

"Guess we better help." Arata rubbed his back.

"Ah! Another retainer. We shall help you and you will help my king, correct?" Geo walked up to him asking him a question that sounded more like a statement.

"Uh..." Yuya lifted up an eyebrow as he looked at Geo.

"Just say yes and we can help you search. I'll explain everything else later." Arata stated. Yuya shrugged and nodded his head and they all immediately began looking around.

Jiku walked through the office at a pace. He looked out the window to see Tokyo's skyline. It was peaceful, except for the fact that he caught a glimpse of the fight between Eapuraito and the Kemonorangers. He sighed as he heard the office door open.

"Ah, Tosan. I see you've finally taken a liking to your office." Daimon entered the room and sat on a chair in front of the big brown wooden desk.

"I have but I can't take this company from you. It's in your hands now son." Jiku said as he sat on the swivel chair.

"It's not a problem at all Tosan. We've been waiting for your return for nearly two years already. I'm proud to be your son and I'm proud that you have settled in already." Daimon smiled genuinely.

"There are my two boys." Akiko walked in alongside Kaoru. The woman put down files on Jiku's desk.

"Koji-San. Ah I mean, president. We need you to check all these files they have to do with an experiment that was done by the companies science division almost two years ago. As you know, our company is open to a lot of things. We are an architectural company. We have many projects that fell behind after we opened that science division and now you need to decide what projects matter." Kaoru explained.

"There's so many." Jiku looked at the pile.

"Well, since you've returned, you should take responsibility for your actions. I'll be headed out." Kaoru stood up straight.

"I'll be leaving as well honey. I hope you are still considering my offer of coming to stay with me. I'll leave you to your business." Akiko kissed Jiku's cheek and left, Kaoru following behind.

"Don't worry Tosan, I'll help you look through these. Starting with... Ah! Human and Animal DNA tests. Seems interesting." Daimon opened the file and began digging through it.

"I guess we should begin." Jiku smiled at seeing his son. "Those bastards better be doing their job or they're dead." Jiku thought to himself as he picked up a file that had to do with the human body. He coughed a bit before opening the file and beginning to read the information that was written down.

"Ah! So this is your base?" Yuya looked in amazement as he looked at it.

"Yup. This is it." Tsubasa welcomed the new ranger.

"Not to sound rude or anything but where is Kite-San?" Yuya asked looking around.

"He and Maya went out with Shun and Runo." Tsubasa answered plainly. As he did, Ryuga and Kyoya exited the training room.

"Where did they go?" Yuya asked.

"They said something about going out to see the others before school got out. Also something about Maya wanting to meet an idol." Tsubasa continued the talk.

"So, they all left?" Arata asked. The blue ranger nodded.

"I will go to my king immediately." Geo said before disappearing into a portal.

"I also have things to do." Arata once again ran out.

"Did then mention which idol?" Ryuga asked out of curiosity.

"Yea, some new idol on the rise. I believe her name was Murata Rina." Tsubasa answered as he looked at his laptop. He pulled up a search on her and a few photos popped up. In the one that Tsubasa chose, the girl wore a pretty black dress with golden accents along with black stockings and black heels. She had brown hair that went past her shoulders and a headband was present on her head.

"Woah!" Zyro said.

"Yah!" Ami smacked him. Zyro chuckled before grabbing the girls waist.

"She does look beautiful." Sora let his opinion be known as the group looked up at him.

"Yah! Stop drooling over my sister!" Yuya slammed his fist on the table.

"That's your sister?" Ryuga asked.

"I don't see the resemblance." Kyoya muttered.

"Whatever! Stop looking at her! I'm gonna go find the other coin. Then I'll meet the others with my sister." Yuya said and like that, he was off.

"Are you ok?" Mari said as she put an ice pack on Ryotaro's shoulder.

"Do I look ok?" Ryotaro asked.

"It was just a question." Mari said with a stern face.

"Look, we need to catch these guys fast. They are just a threat to society. The Gorengers should have never existed. It's because of them that we've had so many threats to this planet." Ryotaro said in a cold voice.

"In all honestly Ryotaro, if they didn't exist, we may not have been able to exist. Imagine all the heroics they've done. Imagine everything theses heroes had to sacrifice in order to protect this planet that we stand on." Mari sat down on a chair opposite of Ryotaro.

"Are you on their side?" Ryotaro glared at Mari. Mari saw this and backed up.

"I'm not on their side but I'm just trying to look at the positive side." Mari said only to get a scoff from Ryotaro.

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask you. How does that annoying police bastard know you?" Ryotaro asked.

"I used to be a cadet for S.P.D. Now I am here. There is really no backstory now is there." Mari explained simply as she adjusted her shirt.

"Whatever. I expect a good massage tonight." Ryotaro stood up and walked away.

"Of course, my love." Mari sighed as she looked at the glass of water in front of her.

~flashback~

~4 years ago~

In an S.P.D. academy on earth, a cadet prepared to be moved elsewhere. They would train for a year and if they passed their exams, they would become official S.P.D. officers. Or so they were told.

"Mari-nee!" The girl with long brown hair turned to see a boy. It was Arata.

"Arata. You are finally here. The others have already left towards the shuttle that I will be using for transport." Mari explained.

"Great. Let's go then." Arata smiled but was stopped.

"Arata. Are you sure you coming with me?" Mari asked the boy.

"Of course." Arata responded.

"You are sure about skipping school even though you are so close to finishing with perfect grades.. It'll probably affect your future." Mari spoke to Arata, more worried than she should've been.

"I'm totally sure. Besides, my future might lay with S.P.D. Protecting the universe from trouble seems like a dream job for me. And seeing you off in your brothers place, after he disappeared, is the least I can do." Arata said with sparkles in his eyes.

"If you say so. Let's go then." Mari clapped her hands together and the two were off. She then began to think about what Arata had said. Where did Kite and Madoka go.

~flashback ends~

Mari sighed as she took a sip from the glass and got up, going to another room, leaving their small command center.

"What is this thing?" Sosuke asked himself as he looked at the coin he picked up earlier. He was now walking beside his group along with Kite, Maya, Shun and Runo.

"Whatcha' lookin at?" Kenta asked.

"Something I picked up in the rubble." Sosuke answered as he continued examining it.

"That's a pretty cool coin man. And it looks like it's a necklace." Kenta looked at the coin as well.

"I can't believe we are gonna meet Rina Murata!" Madoka exclaimed as the group walked up to a line.

"There's so many people here already." Runo's eyes widened as she saw the whole line.

"Well this is what it'll look like when you become an idol." Maya teased and Runo gulped.

"This convention center is huge." Shun admired the newly constructed center that the line lead to.

"Yup. It's fit for conventions as well as concerts and other things." Kite stretched his arms.

"I heard rumors that someone once planted a bomb during the construction but someone caught onto it and found it." Akira turned to the guys.

"That's the rumor. But they are just rumors." Kite closed his eyes as he felt the wind hit his face.

"Guys! Yuusaku-Sensei is the best!" Satoru exclaimed as he joined up with the rest of the group.

"How so?" Sosuke asked.

"Look, he helped with some upgrades to the batteries, morphers and the mecha." Satoru pulled out his tablet and showed everyone different blueprints and schematics.

"So, is that going to help the Kemonorangers in their fight against Jiku?" Natsuki asked.

"Very much so, yes." Satoru said with an excited expression.

...

Inside the convention center, was a stage setup for a meet and greet. The idol they would meet. Rina Murata. She went out to Korea to become a part of GRTW. A girl group made up of girls from various nations who also have Korean roots. Rina just so happened to be Japanese, because of her father, and Korean, because of her mother.

"Miss. Murata? Are you ready?" A woman's voice came from the door.

"Almost. Give me a few more minutes." Rina said as she tried to finish up her makeup.

"Ok Miss. Murata. But next time, we are getting you a stylist to help. We are behind schedule after all." The woman said and closed the door.

"Ugh. This business has its perks but it also has its downside. Where is he!" Rina sighed as she slouched in her chair.

"Geez sis, if you keep your posture like that, you'll be sitting like that for the rest of your life." Rina turned to see the one she was waiting for.

"Yuya!" She ran over to him and hugged him.

"Neechan! I need to breathe!" Yuya tried to break from her grip.

"I'm sorry." Rina backed up when she realized her grip was tight.

"It's alright." Yuya chuckled.

"So, how are kasan and tosan?" Rina asked.

"They are doing alright. They finally found a way to trail a group of panthers without getting too close." Yuya answered as he sat down on the couch in the room.

"Gosh, they really like panthers don't they?" Rina sat down next to him and they laughed.

"Yup. But thanks to that, I've learned how to be stealthy. How else do you think I got in here?" Yuya looked at her.

"I've missed you guys so much." Rina hugged him again.

"We've missed you to." Yuya hugged her back.

"Well, it's time I go out there but I want you to come with." Rina stood up.

"I can't do that. Your some big K-Pop star and I'm just your little brother. They don't know that so it'll just start some unnecessary rumors. I'll just wait for you here." Yuya gave her a gummy smile, a smile he was known for.

"You and that smile. Fine. I have two days before I return to Korea so we'll just catch up then. I'll see you in a bit." Rina smiled as she walked out of the room.

"While you are out there, I'll go and try to find the other necklace." Yuya said as he pulled the coin necklace out from his shirt.

...

"Everyone please be calm and careful. Now presenting, Rina Murata." A voice on a speaker spoke as the idol appeared, waving at her adoring fans.

"OMG I love you!"

"Marry Me!"

"I love your songs!"

Rina smiled as she walked to the seat set up for her. She would be doing a signing, meet and greet as well as a q & a with the fans.

"Finally, we're in! Waiting outside is so tiring." Madoka stretched her arms.

"Considering you were leaning on me the whole time, I doubt you are actually that tired." Kite gave her a small glare.

"Ah, Ani, don't be so mean." Madoka gave him a pout as she looked at the stage.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to my fan signing. I can't wait to meet each and every single one of you." Rina announced through a microphone.

"Yeah!" The crowd began screaming and cheering.

"I hope you all have a good time!" Rina practically yelled.

"I know I will!" Rina turned to the loud voice. Suddenly, a group of Ryaku began invading the center, attacking people. Behind them was Eapuraito.

"Oh shit." Sosuke said as he looked at them.

"Get them!" The Ryaku began going crazy as they began hurting the civilians. Catching them and sending them flying.

"Just what we needed." Kite sighed. "Sosuke, Kenta. You guys come with me. The rest of you help these people escape and take out an Ryaku you can." Everyone nodded and the green boys were off.

"Now, to find those bombs." Eapuraito said as he began to walk around, examining the ground.

"Hey! Stupid plane!" Eapuraito turned only to be kicked in the face by Kite.

"Argh! Humans. Stand down or I will be forced to take you down!" Eapuraito said as he prepared his weapons. He didn't give time however, and began firing.

"Normally, you'd give the person time to surrender!" Sosuke yelled as he kicked a Ryaku into the bullets of the robot.

"It's time to break you, you stupid machine!" Crimson yelled as he, Navy and Silver jumped into battle.

"Guys." Kite said.

"No time. Go find somewhere to transform. The others are helping with the evacuation." Silver explained as he punched a Ryaku and threw it to the side.

"Right." The three nodded and ran off into a closed space.

"Let's go!"

"Kemono Striker!"

"Kemono Spirit Striker!"

"Spirit Unleashed!" They all transformed instantly and ran back into battle.

"Bring it meat bags!" Eapuraito yelled.

The rangers all pulled out their Raiku Sabers and began attacking one by one, only to be each hit. Eapuraito was using the wings attached to his arms to his advantage.

Over with the crowd, Kyoya led the charge. Ryuga stayed inside looking for anyone who may have been hurt. While kicked two Ryaku down, her heard a whimper. He looked over to the stage. Behind it, a woman sat, holding her leg and crying. She then began to panic as a Ryaku found her.

"Hey!" Ryuga yelled as he dashed forwards. The woman held up her arms, waiting for the attack.

"No!" Ryuga's eyes glowed a purple color as he jumped over the entire stage and punched the Ryaku in the head with all his force. The monster faded away before even hitting the ground.

Ryuga took in a deep breath as Runo and Shun ran towards him.

"Are you ok, Miss." Ryuga asked as he turned to her.

"Oh my gosh! It's Rina Murata!" Runo practically burst Shun's ears.

"My leg." Rina held her leg.

"Damn! She's bleeding." Shun said as he took notice.

"I've got it." Ryuga tried to looked for something in his pockets.

"Will this suffice." Geo suddenly appeared and handed him a handkerchief. Ryuga nodded and took it.

"Where'd you get that?" Runo asked.

"Bought it." Geo answered simply as Ryuga wrapped it around Rina's leg.

"Get on." Ryuga positioned himself so that Rina could get on. She did so and they began making their way out of the center.

With the rangers, Red spun around, slashing at the robot. Sparks began flying as Silver and White both jumped on different sides of the robot, more sparks flying into the air.

"We need a direct attack that's effective." Crimson spoke to Navy.

"Let's try it." They both pulled out their staffs.

"Ikazuchi Lightning Slash!" They both yelled as they spun their staffs around, lightning coming from out of nowhere. They ran towards the robot and stabbed it with their staffs, piercing its body. The lightning quickly tracked throughout the robots body.

"Did we do it?" Navy asked.

"Ha ha! You've given me more power!" Eapuraito said as he turned on his turbines to full speed right away, sending the rangers all flying.

"Great job you guys." Black said as he reached for his Raiku Blaster.

Red pushed through the wind and managed to take hold of a rope while anchoring himself from a pilar. He tugged on the rope, not knowing what a random rope was doing hanging near the stage. He then looked up and saw a stage light.

"Got it." Red tugged on the rope while fighting the wind. He kept tugging, fighting against the wind that pushed his arm back. He gripped the rope tightly as he thought of a plan. He let go of the pilar and was sent flying back. He managed to pull the rope and the light went over the pilar it lay on, falling on to the robot.

"Ouch!" Eapuraito stopped his turbines as he took steps back.

"Now!" Red said as they all got up and charged at the robot.

"Not so fast!" Eapuraito pulled up his arm. A big red button present.

"What's that?" Silver asked as they stopped.

"I've planted bombs all over this place. I know what I have to do. You Kemonorangers are done for." Eapuraito began laughing.

"No! If he does that, the explosion could take out the areas around us." White turned to Red.

"I know that." Red let out a growl as he stared at the robot.

"Bombs away!" Eapuraito pushed the button.

"No!" They all yelled. They all covered themselves as if to test the suits ability to handle the explosion. They all waited a bit and noticed that nothing happened.

"Huh?" Eapuraito looked at the button. He pushed it five times, "Why is nothing happening?"

"Hey, machine!" Eapuraito turned to see a man. The man, who turned out to be Yuya, chucked a huge bag at the robot. An explosion occurred sending the robot flying out of the building.

"What! But how!" Eapuraito said as he struggled to stand up. Yuya jumped outside.

"I found one of your bombs on my way here. I thought, maybe you planted others so I checked. Sure enough, there were more. So I collected them, put em' together and reprogrammed them. That explosion that sent you flying is all your getting from those bombs." Yuya claimed as he crossed his arms.

"So, there were bombs." Yuya turned his head towards his right as Ryotaro along with his army arrived.

"Great, it's you." Yuya rolled his eyes as he dropped his arms to his side. "Guess it's time." Yuya said as he pulled up his morpher. A hologram of his suit appeared over his morpher. He then threw something at Ryotaro making him turn.

"Kemono Earth Striker! Spirit Unleashed!" Yuya yelled as he brought his hand over to his morpher, pushing the button it had. An animal spirit was then shot out of it. It was a panthers head, flying around.

~morphing sequence~

Yuya stood in a jungle. He had his eyes closed as he sensed a creature nearby. The creature ran around in the trees. A panther then jumped out of the tree and attacked him, forming his suit. Yuya looked up as the Panther spirit head went through his head and backed up into his face, forming his helmet.

~morphing sequence ends~

"Let's do this." Panther cracked his knuckles as he prepared to fight. "Sensory Panther!" Panther clawed the air various times before leaving his hands in the air, "Kemono Panther!"

"Ah! So you are Kemono Panther. I'll take you down." Eapuraito clapped his hands together.

"Get all of them!" Ryotaro yelled.

"Watch out!" Red pushed Panther out of the way as a wave of bullets came from a rooftop.

"That sneaky piece of shit actually almost got me. He almost got me. How did I? How could I? No, my senses are supposed to be greater than anyone else's. Ah! Feeling sadness. No! I feel... defeated." Panther fell onto his ass and pulled his knees up to his chest.

"Nani? What are you doing?" Red asked.

"Not in the mood." Panther turned around and put his head down.

~Inside Kite's Mind~

"Wow, that reminds me of someone." Zyuoh Eagle said as he watched on the monitor.

"No ones going to help the newbie today?" Gokai Red asked.

"Not feeling it." Lupin Red responded.

"Let's just watch today. If he needs help, we'll jump in." AkaNinger said as he lay on his back.

"So much for us being helpers." Zyuoh Eagle shook his head as he turned his attention back to Kite's battle.

~Outside Kite's Mind~

"We don't have time for you to be depressed." Red kicked Panther to the side and jumped out of the way.

"I'll take my leave!" Eapuraito jumped but was shot immediately.

"Like hell we'd let you escape!" Silver led the charge, attacking the robot. Crimson and Silver spun around and hit him with their staffs. White summoned his spear and spun it around. He slashed right down the robots torso, leaving a huge crack, wires coming out.

"Yah!" Black charged and grabbed the robot. He lifted him up, using his horns as he ran like bull. He then let him go and sent him flying into a brick wall.

"Dude, the coin." White said as Black looked down.

"Wonder how that fell out." Black picked it up.

Panther glanced over and saw the coin. Meanwhile, Red was fighting off against Ryotaro and his men. Panther quickly got up and ran over to Black snatching the necklace from his hand.

"Hey!" Black yelled.

"Where did you find this!" Panther asked as he grabbed Black by his collar.

"It was in the rubble after our first battle against this stupid robot." Black answered.

Panther dropped him. Panther stared at him. Black felt as if something was coming so he was ready to attack if he needed to. Black was struck with surprise as he was right, except... Panther hugged him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Panther exclaimed, repeating himself several times.

"Huh?" Black looked at him weirdly.

"I got this for my sister. Now that I have it I can give it her. After, we take down this machine." Panther turned to the robot who was stumbling around.

"We?" Black questioned.

"Yea. He's one of us obviously." Silver said as the group gathered together.

"Shall we?" Panther asked as he summoned his hammer, putting the necklace over his neck.

"Let's do it." The others summoned their own weapons and ran into battle.

Red was struggling with Ryotaro personally. He didn't want to hurt him but the man made it imposible.

"Would you stop shooting at me!" Red jumped around.

"After you're dead." Ryotaro exclaimed.

Red took out the last of his men and hid himself. The men wore armor while Ryotaro did not, which was not helping Red.

"You've got us all wrong. You've got the Super Sentai all wrong." Red tried to reason.

"The Super Sentai are a virus to this planet, a virus that needs to be eliminated." Ryotaro scowled as he spoke.

"If that's what you think, then you don't k ow what a hero truly looks like." Red looked up to see MegaSilver, MomoNinger and StarNinger all arrive.

"Guys." Red looked over and saw Patren 2gou and Patren 3gou as well as Lupin Blue and Lupin Yellow.

"We won't stand around and let you give Super Sentai a bad name." MegaSilver commented.

"Is that why you all gathered. You've just made my job a whole lot easier!" Ryotaro began firing. MegaSilver jumped forwards, knocking the gun out of the man's hand before pinning him to the ground.

"You are outnumbered." Patren 3gou voiced as they surrounded him.

"Heh." Ryotaro smirked as the rangers were all shot. They all jumped for cover as Mari arrived with a bigger weapon. A sort of mini-gun.

"Let's go my love." Mari said as she fired rounds at the walls and the ground.

"Shit!" Red put his head down.

"Is everyone alright?" MegaSilver asked as he looked up.

"Yea." They all answered.

"Mari-neechan?" Red looked towards where they were. Ryotaro and Mari were gone.

Meanwhile, Panther kicked the robot back. Crimson and Navy jumped off some stairs and slashed him from behind. Silver and White jumped around, shooting at him. Silver then threw his shield towards him. Navy dodged the shield after it hit Eapuraito and hit the robot with his tonfa. Crimson then shot the robot from behind.

Black swung his axe around and hit the robot on its ass, sending him falling forward and right into Panther's hammer attack.

"Let's finish this!" Panther yelled as pulled a battery out. He inserted it into his weapon.

"Finishing Strike!" Panther pulled up his hammer. Above him, a huge paw with its claws out appeared. Panther spun around his hammer and then brought it down. The huge paw came flying down and hit the monster directly with its claws, destroying it instantly. The robots body flew around and landed on the ground, smoking.

"How'd you do that with one blow?" Crimson asked.

"It's a machine. If you know your stuff, then you know that if it's core is hit directly with an attack as powerful as mine, it'll be destroyed instantly. Although, it looks like I wasn't able to break his body apart." Panther scratched his helmet.

...

"Damn those Kemonorangers!" Baishisu slammed his fists into his console.

"Having trouble?" Raizuma laughed.

"I knew you didn't have it in you." Zaku scoffed as he turned away.

"Not so fast! I still have this!" Baishisu revealed a red button.

"I can only imagine what that does." Kasuto leaned against a wall. Naomi and Junichi watched.

"Machines... they are better than any living being in this damn universe." Baishisu laughed darkly as he pushed the button.

...

"Hey, Panther. We need to talk." Red said as he walked up to him.

"Sure thing... Kite-San." Panther gave a nod.

"Uh, guys. I don't think a robots supposed to be doing that, even after it dies." Everyone turned to see what White was talking about. Eapuraito's body began to shake violently. Inside of the robot, it's gears began moving once again. The robot stood up and yelled as it began to grow.

"Oh shit!" They all jumped out of the way as the robot was now a giant.

"Finally! Time to unleash my giant bomb!" The giant robot yelled as it summoned a big bomb and threw it into the air.

"No!" Red yelled.

The bomb came flying down but was instantly hit back by the Tiger Zord. The bomb flew into the robot, sending him falling down onto the ground.

"Guys! KemonoOh had been chosen for this battle." Satoru's voice came through the morphers.

"Got it!" Red and Black jumped into their zords and charged at Eapuraito, who had just gotten back up.

"Bring it on machines!" Eapuraito yelled as he ran forwards. The Phoenix Zord then shot at him allowing the Cheetah Zord to attack with speed. The Bull Zord then hit the monster directly, holding him up in the air, piercing through its body with its horns.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Eapuraito yelled as he stood up, wobbling. The Tiger Zord then jumped onto the robot and clawed him before jumping back towards the others.

"We need to combine." Red called out.

"How are we supposed to without Tsubasa-San?" Maya asked.

"Where is he?" Red asked.

"I'm helping Ryuga with something. You guys need to find a replacement. Fast!" Tsubasa answered.

"Shit." Red hit the dashboard of his cockpit.

"Maybe I can help." Panther pulled out his battery. He put it into his morpher, put in his code and launched his battery into the sky, sending it to who knows where.

...

In a damp jungle, a loud growl could be heard.the battery arrived and entered a dark cavern. Suddenly, red eyes glowed and a loud roar was heard. A giant Panther ran out of the cavern.

This was the Panther Zord. It was black, grey and bronze in color. It had red eyes. On its side was the number 15, with the same style as the one on Panther's suit. The Zord ran towards the city.

...

As the robot came into to attack the feee zords, the Panther Zord roared as it came running through the streets. It pounced and attacked the robot pushing it back.

"Let's do it!" Panther jumped into his cockpit and put in his Raiku Saber. He then threw his own battery over to Red.

"Guess we got no choice right now." Red said as he pulled out a battery. He put in the necessary batteries and the zords all roared.

The zords all came together and began to form the giant robot. KemonoOh was formed but without its right arm. The Panther Zord then jumped into its place. It formed the right arm. It's legs and tail were brought into its body while its head shifted to the side so that a hand could come out.

"Sutoraiku Gattai! KemonoOh! Panther Armament!" The rangers all yelled as Panther took over Blue's usual spot.

"Wow! This is so cool!" Panther admired the cockpit.

"Focus first, then you can admire!" Red commanded.

"Yes sir." Panther saluted.

"Ha ha! Come at me!" Eapuraito taunted.

"Let's go!" Panther yelled as the giant Megazord dashed forwards.

The robots both punched each other. KemonoOh took a few steps back as it looked over its opponent. KemonoOh then summoned its sword and charged forward once again. It slashed at the robot with force, ripping through its body.

"We need to finish this fast. If he pulls out another bomb, who knows of we'll be able to stop it." Pink voiced.

"You're right." Red nodded.

"Here, give this a try." Panther tossed a battery over to Red. Red nodded and put it into his console. He then typed in #015. KemonoOh lifted its sword up as black, grey and bronze energy surrounded it.

KemonoOh gave a nod as it ran forward. Eapuraito activated his turbines. KemonoOh jumped up and landed, sliding on the ground as it moved forward.

"Nani!" Eapuraito yelled as the robot came closer.

KemonoOh sliced the robot in half before coming to a halt and standing up straight. The robot blew up instantly with its parts being disintegrated by the heat of the explosion. KemonoOh put its weapon away and stood over the city, in victory.

"Damn them! Damn them all!" Baishisu hit his console.

"Better watch it before you lose you mind." Raizuma laughed.

"Pathetic." Zaku shook his head.

"Let's go." Kasuto motioned for Naomi and Junichi to follow him.

"Master, if there is ever a chance, I want to take on the Kemonorangers." Junichi spoke to Kasuto quietly.

"Hm, maybe one day. I'd say that Kemono Black would fit you. Taking him down could change my mind about leaving Kemono Red just for myself." Kasuto put his arms behind him.

"Really. So if we defeat any ranger, or at least a targeted ranger that you give us, you'll let us help you defeat Kemono Red?" Naomi asked.

"Perhaps. But you have to prove yourselves worthy aside from defeating enemies. Naomi, I believe Kemono Pink is a perfect choice for yourself." Kasuto walked at a slower pace, talking with his minions.

"It would be my pleasure to take her down." Naomi bowed.

"We won't let you down master." Junichi claimed.

"I will defeat them all next time with my next experiment!" Baishisu's yells could be heard throughout the entire villain base.

"So it was you, Yuya!" Kite gave the man a hug.

"Yup. Found the Panther spirit in Africa. I was approached by Master Raiku long before that and here we are." Yuya smiled brightly.

"You know him, Ani?" Madoka asked.

"Yup. We used to be childhood friends. He was the smart one and I was... well the reckless one." Kite scratched the back of his head.

"That was us. The unstoppable duo." Yuya said as he moved his hand from left to right, in front of himself.

"Ah! My kings childhood friend his now become his retainer. The unstoppable duo will truly triumph in the name of my king. My overlord, I am honored to be here at this moment." Geo bowed.

"Weird guy you got here? Cool." Yuya laughed and Kite facepalmed.

"Yuya?" Yuya turned around at the sound of his voice. Coming out of the medical bay was Rina.

"Nee-Chan!" Yuya ran over to her.

"Nee-Chan?!" Almost everyone yelled.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Ryuga here helped me." Rina looked at Ryuga who just gave a slight nod.

"Arigatou! I don't know what I would've done if I lost her." Yuya clasped Ryuga's hands in between his own and began bowing.

"It's no problem. Can you let go now." Ryuga took his hands out of the boys grasp.

"He's my hero." Rina pecked Ryuga's cheek and his face turned red immediately.

"Huh? Lucky son of a-" Akira began.

"Shut up!" Hyoma slapped the back of his head.

"Wait. So, Rina Murata, the K-Pop idol, is your sister?" Madoka asked Yuya.

"She sure is. Now that I remember it, Kite, do you even remember Nee-Chan?" Yuya asked.

"From when I was small yea, but she went away for her training when she got accepted by her company. Guess I sort of forgot she was your sister." Kite rubbed his nape as he chuckled.

"Ani. You are so dead!" Madoka tackled her brother.

"It's not my fault I didn't remember! Get off of me!" Kite struggled.

"It's so nice to meet you. Your songs gave me a lot of hope and inspiration when I was in the hospital." Ami walked up to her.

"Yea, your songs inspired me to be creative and be me." Natsuki chimed in.

"You are an inspiration to us." Runo put her hands together.

"Ah, you see Nee-Chan. They look to be your biggest fans. I'm going to be in good hands." Yuya crossed his arms as he laughed.

"I know. Please take care of my brother while you fight against Jiku and his army." Rina bowed.

"You have our word." Kite stood up and bowed before being taken down again.

"This is going to be," Yuya turned to see Satoru and Tsubasa on a computer, "Are those the zord schematics! Let me see!" Yuya ran over to them, almost crashing into the screens.

"Yuya! Be more careful!" Rina scolded.

"Show me what you guys got. I bet I'm smarter than you two." Yuya immediately said as he pointed at the two.

"Are you challenging us? Hyoma!" Hyoma joined in with Satoru and Tsubasa.

"A smart guy competition! I'm so hyped!" Yuya yelled as he put up a peace sign.

"How about we hang out girls?" Rina asked. The girls all nodded and they left? Madoka finally letting Kite go.

"Finally! Oh, is everything alright Kyoya?" Kite asked as he stood up and dusted himself off.

"Hm, oh yeah. Everything's fine. Just thinking about someone who once told me she wanted to be an idol. I wonder what she's up to these days." Kyoya said as he crossed his arms and went to sit on the couch.

"Wow, first time I've seen Kyoya like that. He's usually silent and looks like he's always irritated. That person must be someone important to him." Kite said to himself as he looked at Kyoya who was lost in his thoughts.

Somewhere in England, a limo drove to a huge estate. The giant house almost looked like a castle. It had close to a hundred rooms, maybe more, including an indoor pool, a movie theatre, with a snack bar, that sat maybe thirty to forty people, and a meeting room. In the surrounding area was a huge grass area, a Go-Kart track, a mini-golf course, a soccer field and a basketball court. The moonlight shined down on the estate, making it look beautiful.

The limo arrived at a circular driveway, parking near the entrance of this estate. The driver quickly hopped out of the vehicle and ran over to the back right side of the limo. He opened the door and held out his hand. A hand covered in a blue glove took hold of it. A young woman emerged from the limo.

She had long black wavy hair with light blue colored highlights. She wore a long blue dress that covered her body entirely but complimented her curves. He chest was showing a it as well. She wore black heels. She had on a pair of light blue gloves and she wore a tiara with a dolphin engraving on it.

"Princess Mai, welcome home." A maid and a butler greeted the woman at the door.

"Thank you. I assume my family is trying to contact me again. That is why you are both out here?" The princess asked.

"Yes. It seems your father is getting impatient. He wants you to marry already in order to secure a contract with the-" the maid began.

"It is like I said before. I have no intention on marrying someone I do not know or have connections with. Tell them to never call me again. I'm sick of them." Princess Mai said as she walked past them.

"But, your majesty, they are your family." The butler said.

"They are not my family! That is the reason I got this castle. To get away from them. I made the money and worked my ass off to get away from them. They are the reason my mother is no longer with us. So please finish off today's chores and go to bed." The princess spoke in a bitter tone as she walked in.

She walked into a corridor that led to an elevator. She took the elevator to the top floor. There were three floors in total along with three sub-levels. How she managed to get a deal on this place was beyond her. All she knew is that she met a man who called himself Master Raiku. He offered her the castle for a low price as long as she helped out a team of rangers in Japan when the time was right. She accepted and took years of training in order to prepare. She was not going to let the man who helped her out of her hell down. There was one thing bothering her.

"You're probably already there, aren't you?" She said as she looked down at a necklace she had been wearing underneath her dress. It was golden with a dolphin engraving. On the back were her initials "M.O." as well as the initials of someone else, "K.H.".

She arrived in the third floor and went to the farthest room. It was the first master bedroom. She entered and closed the door behind her. She was greeted by another maid who held a child.

"Ah, princess. It seems Sana couldn't help but fall asleep after playing all day." The maid greeted and looked at the child in her arms. The child, a girl, looked to be almost two years of age. She was already growing long hair and wore a pink onesie.

"Well thank you for taking care of her. You may go back to your quarters and rest for the night." Mai said as she took the child from the maids hands.

"Are you sure? You don't want to change first?" The maid asked.

"You're work is done for today. Do not worry about anything else. Now go, and rest." Mai smiled. The maid nodded and left the room.

"Ah, Sana. Soon, we will see your father again. He has a lot of explaining to do." Mai put the sleeping child in a crib that lie next to the king-sized bed.

She then went into the huge walk-in closet and chose an outfit for her slumber. She now wore a light blue tank top, a pair of grey sweats, blue colored socks. She walked out and grabbed a grey hoodie that matched with her sweats.

"A little late night training would do me just fine." Mai zipped up the hoodie. She covered her child with her blanket. She then walked over to her nightstand and opened the drawer. She pulled out a small device and attached it to her wrist. She walked out onto the big balcony that overlooked a huge garden. She pushed a button and energy surrounded her. She was suddenly transformed, now wearing a Kemonoranger suit.

Her suit was a light blue from her shoulders down to her arms, sides and legs. Her main torso was white, outlined with a light blue color. Her helmet was shaped like a dolphins head. There are black eyes on the top of each side of the helmet and there was a small fin on the top. The visor was black and looked like a dolphins mouth when open with a sort of "v" shape. In the middle of the suit was the outline of a dolphins head along with a dolphin styled number 16. She had light blue boots with silver collars. She wore a silver colored belt with a silver belt buckle. Her suit was also like the suits of the other girls, in which it had a skirt. In the middle of the buckle was the Kemonoranger logo along with her number 16. She also had holsters. In the right holster was her Raiku Blaster and in the left holster was her Raiku Saber. On her wrist was her morpher, in its rest state.

"Soon, I will meet you all and see if you are all worthy of fighting alongside me. Hopefully, Master Raiku's choices won't disappoint." She said as she jumped off the balcony and rushed into the garden, disappearing into the night.
