Interlude:
Geo: Welcome back fellow readers. Rejoice for a new chapter in my kings story has arrived. I hope you are all paying close attention. It only gets better from here.
Arata: It'll probably get more annoying from here if you keep talking to people who don't exist.
Geo: Lies. I've seen that many people continue reading this story and it makes me glad. Rejoice!
Arata: Shut up.
Kyoya: Guys, I'm gonna kill both of you if you wake up Sana.
Kite: Aww, look who's acting like a real father.
Kyoya: Shut up Kite, or I'll beat you to a pulp.
Ryuga: But he's right, you sound like a father now.
Kyoya: Whatever.
Hyoma: Well, no need to be so glum. I can show you my tricks to bring the best father you can be. I know I'm not one myself but taking care of three younger siblings really helped me learn.
Kyoya: Just leave me alone!
Geo: Shall we continue the story now! Ignore these ruffians as my kings story continues. IWAE!
Arata: Shut up!
Chapter 30: The Alliance Arrives!
The sound of leaves crunching filled the empty forest. Heavy boots crunched said leaves as three figures walked together holding up some sort of scanning rods. Red lights scanned various trees and plants.
"This forest definitely doesn't compare to the ones I've seen in China." The bat ranger, Kemono Bat, said as he looked at a huge oak tree that seemed unnatural.
"I will admit, I've seen some crazy shit in Australia but nothing like this. It's like the DNA that makes up this forest is completely different and supernatural." The snake ranger, Kemono Snake voiced.
"Even Argentina's forests don't live up to this." The lion ranger, Kemono Lion, stated as he scanned a big flower.
"It's been a while since we've been back in Japan. I mean, judging by what you guys told me." Bat said as he looked at some insects crawling up a tree.
"Yea, can't believe it's been so long. College really takes a toll on you." Lion said.
"Well I just started my second year so foot make me nervous." Snake said as he walked alongside a small trail.
"Relax, you're only two years younger than me and I'm just starting my third year." Lion said as he sat down, taking a break.
"Before we get into an argument about age differences and what not, how about telling us what we are looking for." Bat said as turned off his scanner and faced Lion. Lion seemed a little annoyed and let out a sigh before straightening up in his seat.
"Fine. I'll tell you what Master Raiku told me the last time I saw him. He told me, Masamune, my boy. I need you to go look for something that-" Lion began but was interrupted.
"Do you really have to do an old man voice?" Bat rolled his eyes as he shook his head.
"And I'm pretty sure Master Raiku never spoke like that." Snake also shook his head.
"Jeez, why do you gotta ruin my fun." Lion groaned, "Fine. When I last saw Master Raiku, he told me about some experiment he had a hand in back in the day. He spoke about some sort of gene that they could infect plants with. The goal was that the plants would be able to evolve and grow to be stronger and have longer life spans. Unfortunately, the experiment went wrong. The gene they inserted became a mutation that transformed their first test subject, a vase full of roses, sakuras and some unknown potted plant, into some sort of monster. This monster, also known as mutant, gained a mind of its own. At first, nobody expected anything. They all thought they were the smartest people on the planet because they got the plant to talk.
"Little did they know that this plant had its own intentions. At first, it played as their playmate until it found a way to fully take over the roses and sakuras that were planted next to it. It suddenly became some sort of plant monster and attacked everyone in the lab, killing them all. Master Raiku wasn't present the day of the slaughter and he managed to take down the plant because he always had precautions in case something went wrong. The plant was stopped and it returned to normal but Master Raiku feared that it was still alive, feasting on energy from the sun and from any plants around it. He decided that it would be best to plant the mutant somewhere in this Japanese's forest, outside of Tokyo. Master Raiku told me every single little detail about the experiments and the plants and told me to come back sometime this month, June, and to look for the plant and make sure it never moved or it never evolved. Once we confirmed it, he gave me this." Lion pulled out a small container.
"Let me guess, it's some sort of injection that we need to give the plant in order to stop it from reaching its full potential again. Am I right?" Bat asked.
"On the nose, except this thing will kill it. Although when I saw the research papers that master left me, there was a big note jotted down that said, 'unable to die'. My worst fear is that this liquid is for nothing and that we may not be able to stop this thing." Lion looked at the vile in his hand and sighed before putting it away.
"Well, all we have to do is find the plant and inject it, right? We can find out if it works when we find it." Snake said as his scanner began to beep making him jump.
"Your scanner picked something up." Bat said in shock.
"Onwards my companions!" Lion said in a high commanding voice as he ran in the direction that the scanner had told them to go. The other two followed.
After a few minutes, they had made it to a secluded part of the forest. They each began looking around cautiously as they felt the presence of something else. Someone else.
"Welcome to my domain. You will regret coming here." A voice boomed through the forest. The three rangers all looked in one direction as they saw a small plant that sit in between a rose and a sakura flower.
"This doesn't look good." Bat said as the three pulled out their weapons, gripping them tightly.

Kite groaned as he slammed face into his book. A book made by Satoru. A book on Super Sentai. Saul was trying to understand why he had previous red warriors in his head. He sighed as he flipped a page.
"What are you doing Ani? You've spent literally all night reading that." Madoka said as she exited her room wearing only an oversized shirt covering her.
"How about you do yourself a favor and put on proper clothes before you come out." Kite spit out viciously as he flipped a page.
"Are you ok? You seem a little tense." Madoka turned to her brother. Normally he would tell her to change whenever she wore an outfit like this, but today it seemed as if he was on the edge of flipping out.
"I'm totally fine Madoka. How about you go and change before I change you myself, huh?" Kite got up and stared Madoka down. The girl began feeling as if she were small as her brother towered over her.
Kite then walked into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. He gulped it all down in one drink. Madoka watched her brother carefully. As he finished the water, he slammed the glass onto the counter, shattering it completely. Shards of glass penetrated Kite's hand but he didn't seem to mind. Instead, he smirked at the pain. He dusted his hands and walked away. Madoka stood there in shock.
"You may be his sister, but you ain't mine!" Kite grabbed Madoka and slammed her into the wall. He smirked like a pervert and winked before his eyes glowed a fierce red color. Kite then left her there stunned as he left the apartment. Madoka slid down the wall, turning to see the shards on the ground.

"This isn't possible." Baishisu ran around his lab like a mad man. He was throwing things everywhere looking for something.
"What's the matter Baishisu? Are you missing something?" Kasuto asked as he appeared before him.
"For your information, I actually am. It's all my research on that thing. After finding it in a secluded Japanese forest, o conducted my research and if I'm correct, he'll ruin our plans of domination." Baishisu informed as he threw viles everywhere.
"What are you talking about?" Kasuto asked, curious as he saw Baishisu's panicked state.
"That thing. He is coming back and he plans on taking the entire planet for himself. We can't let him." Baishisu said in an irritated tone.
"What thing?!" Kasuto was now annoyed.
"I can't tell you. No no no. They ought to burn that forest outside of Tokyo or they are all dead. I don't know..." Baishisu began rambling to himself as he paced around the room.
Kasuto clenched his fist as he felt the presence of Junichi and Naomi. He growled a little as the two minions felt his strong emotion seeping out of his body.
"We've retrieved the parts from Baishisu's robots. They are safely stored away in a chest buried in Kyoto." Junichi informed.
"Good. Now, I have a new mission for you." Kasuto spoke in a stern voice.
"Yes master." The two bowed.
"Go to," Kasuto watched Baishisu carefully, "to this forest outside of Tokyo. Looks for a plant that doesn't belong. Retrieve it and bring it here." Kasuto commanded.
"Roger." The two tilted their heads down in understanding and left. Kasuto remained watching Baishisu.
"Stupid goblin is getting annoying, don't you think." Raizuma asked the wolf as he passed by.
"Yes. He is. But he is a genius after all. We can't underestimate him when it comes to his plans or his experiments." Kasuto claimed as he turned and walked away.
"Heh, interesting." Raizuma said as he glanced at Baishisu before walking off himself.

"Kite did what?" Maya asked Madoka who played with baby Sana.
"He was acting so strangely today. He was sort of aggressive. He spoke to me rudely and broke a glass after drinking water from it. He then pinned me to the wall and said something about me being someone else's sister or something and not his. I don't know. Then I saw his eyes change into a shade of red." Madoka spoke calmly as she let the child in her arms hold her index finger.
"That is strange for him." Kyoya said as he put his hands together and put his chin on top of his fists.
"You don't think it's a red warrior do you?" Sosuke asked.
"No! There are no red Sentai warriors who would do such things. You should know Sosuke." Satoru stood up with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Chill man, it's just a question." Sosuke said as he rolled his eyes.
"Have any of you guys seen Hiroto around. Or any of our Senpai for that matter?" Tsubasa asked getting a resounding "no" from everyone in the room.
"Speaking of which, he barely comes anymore. I mean I guess he is the CEO of that one company right. What was it called?" Kenta began to think.
"Well he's gone but this guys stayed around." Ryuga pointed out to the robot in the corner looking at a can of some sort of drink.
"I am Beet J. Stag! I've been told to come and help you if it is needed. But in order to do that, I need Enetron!" J spoke as he walked up to Tsubasa.
"Ah, I understand. Satoru, do you know how to get a hold of some Enetron?" Tsubasa asked.
"I'll find something." Satoru said as he opened a window on his computer and began to type.
"Guys, can we please get back to the Kite situation." Maya said gaining everyone's attention.
"That doesn't seem like Kite. Even when I knew him growing up, he never seemed like the aggressive type." Hyoma said as he put his fingers up to his head, thinking about the past.
"I knew it. I was waiting for his facade to fade and it finally has. I now have a reason to defeat him." Sora said only to get a slap on the arm by Ami.
"Stop that!" Ami gave him a pout.
"Yea Sora. Getting to know him a little more doesn't make me believe that Kite is a bad guy." Zyro said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Yea. Kite is real friendly. I don't think he's the type to do something like that." Runo said.
"I don't know guys, nice guys like him are rare nowadays." Shun shrugged as he cleaned his Raiku Saber.
"I agree with Shun. Someone like Kite is rare." Akira sighed as he played with a bouncy ball.
"Knowing Kite, he is a nice guy. But even moved guys have their dark sides." Yuya said, typing as he spoke, looking for Enetron locations as well.
"I've just met him but by the looks of it, he's a nice guy. Maybe if I met him instead of Kyoya, I would've already been married." Mai teased getting Kyoya all riled up.
"Ok, relax. We need to think about this clearly and rationally. We can't take action until we know what's happening." Tsubasa advised, getting some nods.
"The second that fool shows signs of what I think he is, he's dead." Sora threatened, getting another hit from Ami.
"You guys are still all together. The light you would've finished you little shitty club meeting or whatever you call this." Kite walked in wearing a black jean jacket with blue skinny jeans and converse. His hair was spiked up and he wore sunglasses.
"Kite/-San?!" Everyone looked at him as he pushed J out of his way. He sat on Hiroto's chair and placed his feet above on the desk.
"Kite, are you feeling alright?" Hyoma asked.
"I'm feeling amazing. Why do you ask?" Kite said as he pulled out a toothpick and began licking at his teeth.
"Because you normally don't do stuff like this." Hyoma said as he crossed his arms, carefully studying Kite's body language.
"Well well, you care so much don't you. Well, this is the real me so deal with it." Kite hit his chest as he smirked.
~Inside Kite's Mind~
"What the hell is going on?" Gokai Red asked as the dark room they were in seemed to shake.
"I don't know. Kite-San! You need to wake up! Now!" Zyuoh Eagle said as he shook an unconscious Kite.
"Who was that guy?" TimeRed asked.
"Someone we haven't seen in a while. We thought he was just some sort of mirage or whatever but I guess we were wrong." HurricaneRed explained.
"Does he have a name? The same as Kite's?" Tyranno Red asked with interest.
"He once said that his name isn't Kite. It it was his own name. He said he was his own person and Kite was just an obstacle in the way of his plan to purify the world and craft it to perfection Using his own vision." Lupin Red said, having his thumb and index finger crossed as he thought.
"I think if I remember correctly, his name was-" GoseiRed began.
"My names Yuma. Now how about you bastards shut up and let me think straight!" The evil Kite from before appeared before them. He grinned like a maniac as he walked past all of them.
"Yuma?" Zyuoh Eagle questioned before continuing his attempts to wakeKite up.
"So he was the evil Kite that Kite kept telling us about." Go-On Red bounced a little.
"It has been a whole since Kite told us anything about his evil self." Shinken Red looked down at his sword as he awaited for everyone to process what was being said in their conversation.
~Outside Kite's Mind~
"Kite? Who's Yuma? And who are you talking to?" Hyoma asked with concern in his voice.
"Why do you care so much. Just let me be and stop asking so many stupid questions." Kite scoffed as he spun in the chair.
"Ani! Why are you acting so weird?!" Madoka yelled at him. Kite chuckled as he stood up. He took off his sunglasses. He walked around the room looking at everyone. He stopped right behind Maya and Runo.
"How about we go and get some lunch ladies." Kite hugged the girls who felt chills go down their spines.
"Why are you so cold?" Maya asked as she felt Kite's hand. Suddenly, the bases alarms began to ring. The rangers all looked around as Satoru pulled up some footage from a shopping mall.
"I'm out first." Kite said as he put on his sunglasses and ran out.
"Aren't we choosing anyone for this one?" Tsubasa asked.
"No time. I'm getting a strange energy reading. I'd prefer if you all go. Something doesn't feel right." Satoru said to the rangers. Natsuki ran over to his side helping him set up the console in order to begin reading the big energy signal.
"I'm here!" A girl ran into the command center, panting heavily.
"Ayumi-Chan?" Tsubasa looked at her.
"Where is she?" Ayumi smiled at Tsubasa.
"Right here. Please take care of her." Mai handed Sana over to Ayumi.
"Why are you here Ayumi?" Ryuga asked.
"Ah, I'm here to take care of Sana. I promised to help Mai whenever you guys had an emergency and I was on my way here when I saw Kite-San running outside. He jumped onto his motorcycle and left quickly when I began hearing the alarms." Ayumi explained quickly.
"We Can talk about this later, let's go!" Akira pushed Tsubasa out as the rangers all left.
"Good luck!" Ami and Natsuki said in unison.

"What's this?!" Lion yelled as he slashed at a Ryaku. More and more Ryaku began appearing as vines began to spread out of the forest. Trees and flowers began sprouting as the trio of rangers ran into the city.
"These are Ryaku if I'm correct." Bat said as he slashed at three of the monsters.
"I think he meant why is the forest spreading. And to be honest, these look like vines you'd find in a jungle." Snake said as he shot at two rangers before kicking another one back.
"We need to find the others quickly." Bat deflected an attack from a Ryaku. He quickly kicked it in its chest and jumped back.
"You'll have to get past these guys first!" The mysterious voice from before yelled as vines moved upwards, creating bodies. The trio of rangers were left stunned when those bodies turned out to be monsters already destroyed by the Kemono Rangers.
Monsters from Kurasshuzoido and Yukeru all the way to Kontasai and Rindar. Lion gripped his sword tightly.
"Ok. We can do this guys. We are... The Alliance!" Lion yelled into the sky.
"We never agreed to that name." Bat said, standing beside Lion.
"I kind of like it." Snake said, looking over at the two.
"Get them!" The voice yelled again.
"Guys! Let's go!" Lion yelled. The other two followed his lead and they all ran towards the monsters with their sabers and blasters at the ready.
"What's going on here?" Naomi questioned as she watched the battle unfold.
"Those are all old monsters created by Jiku. They must have revived somehow. And that's what we are here to find out." Junichi said to the girl.
"Oh really. Well, I can't let you do that." Suddenly, various vines grabbed ahold of the two minions and held them up in the air.
"Look, they have hostages!" Bat pointed out.
"This isn't good." Lion said as he finished off Yukeru.
"I've got it!" Snake said as he boosted himself up with his two feet. He slashed the vines holding Junichi, cutting them and letting the man fall. Bat and Lion both used Rindar as a launchpad and jumped up to catch the man. Snake then used a tree to shoot himself towards Naomi. He cut the vines with ease and landed on the ground. Naomi began screaming as she fell back down to Earth. Snake looked up and jumped up again to catch Naomi.
They landed safely back on the ground. Snake looked at Naomi who hid her face into his chest. She then looked up and saw Snake's helmet. She looked directly into his visor.
"Arigatou." She said softly. Snake began blushing under his helmet. Naomi the pushed herself off of Snake and landed next to Junichi who had also gotten up himself.
"Who are you guys?" Lion asked as he kicked Rindar back, slashing him allowing him to turn back into a pile of leaves and vines.
"Why should you care?" Junichi asked.
"We are trying to help you here. If you remain here, you will be stuck in here but we don't know for how long." Bat said to the two.
"Who cares. We are here to look for a plant and that's what we plan to do." Junichi said as he pulled up his sniper and pressed it onto Lions chest.
"It matters not whether you stay or not. Tokyo is mine!" The voice roared as vines began shooting out from everywhere. The vines finished off the remaining monsters and began attacking to a nearby construction site. The workers began to scream as they finally saw this but most of them were caught in vines and were turned into cocoons.
"Oh shit!" Lion said as they watched.
"Did Master a Raiku say anything about it wanting to take over Tokyo!" Bat yelled as the five people gathered together.
"He did actually. He said that the plant will want to take over the world." Lion said casually.
"Nani!" The other four yelled as they looked at him.
"What wants to take over the world?" Junichi asked, a little freaked out as vines pushed past him.
"That plant right there!" Lion pointed out the plant that seemed to be moving along with the growing forest.
"What do you mean he wants to take over the world?" Snake asked quickly.
"Apparently, this plant's other intentions are to destroy all other species on earth and create some sort of jungle planet." Lion blocked a vine that was head straight for him.
"Correct. The other species on Earth has gone to far. The Earth is polluted. Global warming is getting worse and worse. It is the fault of you pitiful humans. That is why I will start with you. After all, we plants are what enable you all to live. We have all the control and yet you take us for granted. Well, that is far enough. I will evolve and will turn Earth into a jungle planet." The voice laughed evilly as the vines wrapped around the five people. "Now get out of my way!" The voice yelled as the forests vines began bursting from the ground. The five figures each struggled to set themselves free as they watched a small plant moving with the ever ever expanding forest.
"We need to find the others!" Lion yelled as they were all engulfed into vines.
"Kasuto... sama!" Junichi managed to let out with just enough air before being imprisoned himself.
"Now to become the city itself!" The voice boomed as the forest continued moving.

"Where is this thing. There's always a monster." Kite arrived. Or should we say, Yuma.
"Yuma!" Kite's voice ringed through his head.
"Ah, so you're finally awake." Yuma's voice reverted to how it was before when he met Kite before, doing a little more dark.
"What are you doing?! I thought you were gone!" Kite yelled, sounding almost as if he were crying.
"I'm taking control of what's mine. You are a mere weak presence that will soon die within. I am the dominant one here and you will lose to me." Yuma smirked as he walked around. He then heard the screams of people. He smirked as he pulled out Kite's battery and transformed.
Red ran towards the screams. He quickly came to a halt as many people ran past him. Red looked around and found thong but smoke. Red walked forward with caution as he began seeing colored figures jumping around him.
"For the forest!" Five voices said in unison. Before Red knew it, he was slashed across the chest five times and sent flying into the tables and chairs that were present.
"The fuck." Red stood up holding his chest as it smoked.
"We may not be the real deal but this chance is just too good to pass up. The forest is to praise for giving us our lives." Red turned as he blocked a lighting blast with his Tiger Sword.
"Who's there!" Red yelled in anger.
"You'll be afraid of us the second you see us." Red was then struck down the middle again and sent flying into a small ice cream stand.
"Argh! Fuck off!" Red stood up and looked ahead of him as smoke appeared. As it did, five figures were seen walking towards him.
"They can't be!" Kite yelled as he watched them walk up to them.
"Oh no! They shouldn't even be alive!" MegaRed's voice boomed through Red's head.
Standing before Red were five vicious looking figures. The figures laughed as they came into perfect view. They all looked the same just with different colors in their patterns. They had metal button like objects on their shoulders and stomachs. They also had those same metal like buttons on their hands. They had white collars on their boots, and white gauntlets over their wrists. They had helmets on that looked like bats. Each of them had a different color. They had a silver mouthpiece with what looked like black teeth over the mouthpiece. They had a belt buckle with a twisted N on them.
"Heh, I see. You guys are the..." Red began.
"We are the Nezirangers!" They yelled.
"False ones I assume. Judging on what you said." Red Ranger his fingers over his blade and ran at them.
"This guy has a death wish." The black one, NeziBlack, said.
"Just kill him." The red one, NeziRed, commanded.
"Don't have to ask twice." The yellow one, NeziYellow, led the charge.
"Come at me you bastards!" Red yelled as he came into contact with them. He slashed the pink one, NeziPink, and then the blue one, NeziBlue. He kicked NeziYellow back and then lunged at NeziBlack, knocking him back. NeziRed then kicked Red back.
"Let me take him!" NeziRed said as he summoned his own weapon. Only, a bunch of vines came out of the ground and revealed his weapon. That's when Red noticed the strange trails of vines and leaves.
"Now I know you aren't the real deal. As you said." Red said as he observed.
"Yea. We're better. The forest has given us so much power that we will kill you here and now!" NeziRed yelled as he pulled up his NeziSaber. He was then shot back by multiple shots.
"We have company." NeziBlue groaned.
"Oh, and in all our favorite colors including some extras." NeziPink giggled.
"Who the fuck are these freaks. More of Jiku's goons!" Black looked at the Nezirangers who all seemed to chuckle as they watched the Kemonorangers.
"It can't be! Those are the Nezirangers! This can't be good!" Satoru's voice made all the rangers turn their heads as it was too loud.
"You're too loud!" Crimson said as he and Navy began to move in.
"Wait up!" White followed with Purple in tow.
"Come at us. We'll take you all on." NeziBlack spoke in an ecstatic tone.
"The blue ones mine!" NeziBlue yelled as he dashed forward quickly, knocking Blue back.
"Tsubasa!" Silver said before feeling a piercing headache.
"Yuma! How did you... escape!" Silver spoke but it wasn't Hyoma.
"Well well... well!" Red slashed and kicked NeziRed back. He then thrust his fist forward and punched the evil ranger in the face. "If it isn't Shay. It's been a while. Let's just say, I've got determination. Something you lack." Red said, quite full of himself if anyone were to voice their opinion.
"My king!" Geo arrived on scene as Arata ran last Silver, bumping him.
"Yuma!" Silver, Shay, yelled as Silver came back into control.
"What happened? Tsubasa!" Silver looked up to see Ryaku monsters appear. All three kinds.
"Emergency! DekaOmega!" Arata yelled as he transformed into his ranger room.
"Hello there!" Zaku appeared before Arata and knocked him back.
"Argh!" Arata crashed into Red.
"You dumbass! Overlord. My overlord!" Geo ran over to Red.
"Why you bastards!" DekaOmega jumped back up and pulled his fist back as he dashed forward before thrusting his fist forward, punching Zaku directly in the chest.
"Raizuma!" Crimson spun his staff around as he tried his best to rip Raizuma in half. Navy then began spinning around, trying to get an attack on Raizuma in.
"Useless. The both of you." Raizuma laughed as he zapped the two and sent them crashing into each other.
"How about me!" White jumped over the two fallen rangers and kicked the monster with his right foot. White then pulled out his saber and spun it around.
"Bring it on." Raizuma said as he held his fists up, electricity crackling.
"My king, are you alright?" Geo asked as he licked Red up.
"Geo? It's so good to hear your voice." Kite's voice was shaking. Red got up carefully.
"Don't you dare!" Geo used his scarf to attack NeziRed who tried to come into attack.
"Where am I?!" Red asked.
"In the middle of battle. Now show this poser what you can do." Geo pushed Red forward.
"Not if I stop him first." Kasuto then appeared, shooting Red in the chest multiple times sending him sliding back before falling.
"You bastard." Geo clenched his teeth as he slammed his body into Kasuto. NaziRed then struck Kasuto's back.
"Bastard!" Kasuto began firing like crazy.
"Are you watching this?!" On the upper level of the mall, the SES moved around, watching the battle ensue. Ryotaro watched with a stupid grin on his face.
"They are in an all out battle, doing whatever it takes to beat their opponents and end up on top." Mari's voice had a hint of disappointment.
"I hear you Mari!" Arata's voice came through their coms.
"How did he get in?" Ryotaro sneered as he looked over the wall he hid behind. He saw Arata dodging various attacks from Zaku.
"Miku, now." Mari commanded.
"Finally. I was beginning to think you sent me away for no reason." Miku's voice came over the coms.
"Tsubasa and Sosuke's sister." Arata said loudly.
"What about my sister?" Sosuke said as he backed up.
"Pay attention to the battle in front of you!" NeziBlack yelled as he hit Black with the NeziRod.
"Don't hurt my little brother." Miku said with a small pout as she fired an RPG round at NeziBlack.
"Nani?!" NeziBlack yelled as he exploded into bits and pieces.
"Eww, he's blown up into me- what a minute. This is just a bunch of plants." Black said as he looked around him.
Shark Striking!
Blue pulled up his sabers and slashed at NeziBlue sending him crashing into a nearby wall before being blown to bits as well.
"The hell?" Blue questioned.
"Honey!" Marine yelled as Green kicked a Ryaku over her. Green then threw one of his Elephant Sabers over to Marine who made good use of it and slashed one of the Asashin Ryaku.
"NeziRed!" The evil red pushed Kasuto back as he felt a punch from behind.
"MegaSilver?!" Red said as he limped over.
"What's going on?" The silver ranger asked.
"We don't know. The Nezirangers just showed up out of nowhere and began attacking. Red stated.
"Heh, I'm done here anyway." NeziRed stood up and send an energy strike towards the two, sending them flying back towards Geo, who caught them with ease.
"It's time." NeziYellow and NeziPink both were transformed into leaves and sent flying away.
"Yes!" NeziRed yelled as he did the same.
"What the." Purple looked around as White was knocked back behind him.
"Wretched humans. Beware my power!" Everyone froze for a second.
"What was that?" Miku asked.
"Mari?" Ryotaro awaited a response.
"I don't know. I'm getting random energy spikes. I don't know what's-" Mari's voice was cut off.
"Mari!" Ryotaro and Miku both yelled out.
The earth then began to tremble. It then stopped as suddenly as it started. After a few seconds, a huge earthquake began to shake up the entire city.
"An earthquake?!" Raptor yelled over the loud sounds of things falling over and of the earth shaking.
"How is this... possible!" Panther said as he held onto a pilar that began to crack.
"Come into the darkness!" A voice yelled as everyone began to get sucked into the earth through small holes.
"Let's go!" Zaku commanded. The three generals disappeared through thick black clouds, leaving the scene behind.
"Guys!" Blue and Gold were taken. Panther and Green were taken. It began. Two rangers disappeared all at the same time.
"Geo! What's happening?!" DekaOmega yelled before getting pulled down himself.
Vines began spreading everywhere as trees as by as buildings began to sprout. Red began running away as he was the only one left. Geo followed him.
"What are we going to do?!" Red yelled as he ran.
"The Alliance is here!" Red turned to see a ranger swinging on a vine. The ranger caught him and lifted him up. Another ranger picked Geo up. One last ranger picked up, to Red's surprise, Pink.
"Who are you guys?!" Red yelled as they swing through the air, landing on the malls second level.
"I just said the Alliance!" Lion screamed out.
"The Alliance?" Red questioned.
"Yes. We are rangers who have come from different parts of the world to help you Kemonorangers, although it looks like we're too late. Again!" Lion punched the railing and quickly regretted it.
"Again?" Pink now questioned.
"Yea. There were two other people who were swallowed up by this massive forest." Bat informed. Red, Pink and Geo looked around as a forest began spreading around them quickly.
"What is going on?" Red asked.
"The Miraju Forest is spreading." Lion said simply.
"What is that?" Pink asked.
"Ugh, great. Now I'm going to have to explain again." Lion groaned.
"Shut up and do it." Snake said as he whistled. Suddenly, his Snake Zord appeared. "Snaku is waiting." Snake said as he jumped onto the Zord that hissed. Lion then began explaining everything.

"Tosan! Are you seeing this!" Daimon burst into his fathers office. Jiku sat in his chair looking out the big window. He could see the city being covered in forest and in jungle. Jiku let out a sigh.
"Daimon. Begin the safety procedures." Jiku commanded.
"On it." Daimon pulled out his phone and dialed a number, "Activation Approved."
After a few minutes, helicopters and jets were seen flying over the city. Tanks began rolling in from outside the city as armored soldiers armed themselves with some type of upgraded gardening tools.
"I knew you were coming. And I prepared you bastard." Jiku said silently as he watched the forest finish its invasion.

3 Hours Later...
Tsubasa dragged himself along with Shun. They both carried Runo as they made their way though the dark forest. Shun took a deep breath as Akira pushed past him.
"We've been searching for hours and there nothing. There's no exit. We are trapped in here." Akira let out his frustration by kicking a rock.
"Stop that!" Ryuga roared as he appeared next to Tsubasa.
Suddenly, the group heard the sound of a train. They all turned to see a huge snake coming towards them. The Snake Mecha came to a stop beside them.
"Woah. It's a snake mecha!" Akira admired it. The snake hissed as three rangers appeared over it.
"Hello fellow Kemonorangers." Lion began.
"Oh thank God! Now we can get out of here." Akira sighed of relief as Tsubasa and Shun set Runo down.
"Stop right there." Lion made Akira paused from his movements.
"We will say this once, so listen closely. In order to escape this forest, you must face the challenge it throws at you. No matter what it is." Bat crossed his arms.
"Why must you complete this challenge? Because it it the only way to stop the forest from continuing its expansion." Snake followed.
"If you can not complete your challenge, than the forest will only get stronger." Lion said.
"It is the only way to escape." Bat said in a sad tone.
"Who are you guys?!" Shun yelled up at them.
"We are the Alliance. The only chance you have of defeating this forest. So face the challenge that comes your way or face the consequences!" Lion yelled down at them as the snake hissed and began slithering off.
"Wait!" Akira yelled after it. The snake was too fast and escaped leaving them alone.
"What the hell was that about?" Ryuga asked.
"The forests challenge?" Tsubasa questioned.
"That means me!" The present rangers turned to see a figure appear, surrounded by Ryaku. He looked human, hiding a guitar but he quickly transformed into a skeleton warrior with a sword.
"What the hell is that?" Ryuga took steps back.
"Time for you to die!" The figure began running at them.

Kenta pulled Madoka onto his back as he and Zyro began following Yuya through the thick forest. Madoka was holding on tightly to Kenta as she drifted off to sleep.
"Where are we going. It's been three hours. At least I think it has." Zyro groaned as he pulled out his phone trying to find a signal.
"I'm trying here." Yuya had pulled a compass out of his left pocket and began tapping on it. The needle moved everywhere, not giving a direction but instead moving around crazily. Yuya sighed as he moved on.
"You're heavy Madoka." Kenta spoke loudly. Madoka didn't budge as she had fallen asleep. Kenta sighed in relief. "I've been keeping count you know. That makes 12 guys and 9 girls you've made out with. It's weird right. Why am I even keeping count." Kenta chuckled nervously as he watched the other two walk ahead.
"So you are nosy." Kenta almost fell over as he heard Mai.
"You're here also?" Kenta asked.
"She's been here." Yuya said as he continued mumbling to himself.
"I'm not nosy, for you information. It's just that she's keeping a big secret from her brother and I think that she should tell him about it sooner rather than later." Kenta gave his opinion.
"But if she's not ready then she shouldn't. She told me she was bisexual by the way. She said that she didn't have a preference when it came to gender but she likes being the controlling one." Mai looked around as she spoke.
"Really. She told you but she can't tell her brother?" Kenta looked disappointed.
"You don't get it because your a boy. How would it feel if you had to tell your brother, who've you known for years, something like that? Madoka has been by Kite's side since she was born. They are so close that Madoka could tell when he is acting differently. Such was the case today. Her brother doesn't like the fact that she tends to date a lot of different guys. Now imagine adding girls into that mix. But that's not the problem. The problem is she's afraid of being neglected. Of being rejected by her family and feeling hated. She wants the love she gets from brother, not the hate. That's what's holding her back. Fear. A fear to reveal her true self. A fear so powerful that it can eat you up. She doesn't want to lose her brother after losing her younger siblings and her parents. Kite's all she has left." Mai looked down at the ground.
"You hear that." Not to far away, Arata dragged Mari by his side. He leg was injured. They were coming up on a crossroads where they would meet up unexpectedly.
"I don't... recall anything." Mari said as she put her hand on her head.
"It's ok, Mari. I'll help you." Arata said as he began whistling.
"Arata?!" Yuya looked over at him.
"We'll look who it is." Zyro crossed his arms. The group then met up before hearing something coming at them. They all turned to see a huge snake arrive.
"Is that a train?" Zyro asked.
"Thank God! I'm tired of carrying around this big baby." Kenta sighed of relief before feeling a kick from Madoka herself. "Ow!"
"Listen closely..."
...
"We are The Alliance!" Lion yelled out. The train hissed and drove off.
"Hey! At least help us!" Zyro yelled after the train that disappeared into the trees.
"What kind of challenge awaits us?" Yuya began tapping his chin with his index finger.
"Guess you're about to find out." The rangers all turned around with their hands up in a defensive position. They all watched as a monster that looked like some general appeared. "No Hurricanegers? No problem." The monster said as he pulled out swords from his shoulders.
"I don't know what's going on but we need to do something quickly." Kenta said as Ryaku appeared all around them.

Hyoma got on top of a car and looked farther away. He couldn't see anything clearly.
"You've got anything?" Sora asked.
"There's nothing recognizable here." Kyoya ruffled his hair crazily.
"Guys. We need to remain calm." Hyoma said as he jumped off the car.
"Easy for you to say. You don't have a fear of being lost." Sosuke said as he shivered.
"You're afraid of getting lost?" Sora asked.
"Yea. It just reminds me of how useless I can be." Sosuke said as he hugged himself.
"It's ok Sosuke. You don't need to be afraid. It's a common fear." Hyoma pat Sosuke's back.
"If only my father and brother could be like that." Sosuke felt warm tears escape his eyes. Sora and Kyoya stayed silent as Hyoma hugged the boy. Hyoma didn't know why but he felt like he needed to do it. Who else would.
"I'm sure your brother cares for you. As for your father, from what you told me, he solids cold. But if you ever need someone-" Hyoma paused as they heard the horn of a train. Everyone turned to see the Snake Mecha coming toward them.
"Let me tell you once..."
...
"We are The Alliance!" Lion said as the snake once again escaped.
"The Alliance? What the hell is that?" Sora asked.
"And what kind of challenges do they expect us to complete?" Kyoya sighed.
"Is this also a blood game?" The four rangers turned to see a monster made out of cubes walking towards them, Ryaku surrounding them.
"What the hell?" Hyoma clenched his fists tightly.
"Guess we are fighting." Kyoya said as the four prepared for battle.
"It's time for you to die." The monster said as Ryaku began to charge at them.

The Snake Mecha showed up near the Tokyo Tower. On a grass patch nearby, the same plant from before was now grown. It was glowing as it began opening slowly.
"There we did it! We told them about you're stupid challenge." Bat yelled as the three rangers ran up to the bud. They watched as nearby, tied with vines were Junichi and Naomi. They both were asleep but they each had a purple mark on their necks. They seemed to be struggling.
"Perfect. Now you may- Hah!" Vines suddenly caught the three rangers. Lion dropped his Raiku Saber which was hidden behind him.
"I told you not to try it!" Snake said as they struggled against the vines.
"It doesn't matter whether he tried or not. I still would've captured you. Besides, you each have your own challenge to take on." The vines threw the rangers back into the trees. The rangers all gasped for air.
"Damn it! We fell for it!" Snake hit the ground.
"The time for my revival is near!" The flower roared as a bright light flashed the entire area.
The three rangers all stood up and dashed forward only to meet the attack of a big sword. They all looked up to see a golden armored gorilla. He carried a sword and held it up to attack again until the light from behind him subsided.
"Oh no! How?!" Lion said as he watched how something emerged from the flower.
Before them stood a bulky creature. He was completely made of vines, leaves and flowers. He basically looked like DC Comics Swamp Thing. The monster had a big open pink flower surrounding his green head. He had red eyes that were sunk into his head. His body was just a bunch of vines wrapped together with various leaves and flowers scattered around his body. He had claws on his hands and his feet were big.
"What the... hell is that." Bat held his gut as he felt a sharp pain.
"Hiyah!" Lion stood up and ran at the gorilla and he slashed at it. The monster do don't even flinch as it kicked the ranger back into the others. Its arm was completely severed. The gorilla looked down at its arm and then arched its back as another arm grew onto him by the use of vines.
"Huh. How... did he?" Snake asked.
"It is one of my many abilities. My creations are perfect. They are the embodiment of the nature of this planet. They are my soldiers and they will never fail me." The monster from behind appeared before them.
"For the last time... who the hell... are you!" Lion slammed his fists on the ground as he felt rage build up inside of him.
"I am," the monster paused as he adjusted his posture, "Hanaru. My time has come. The time for plants to rule the Earth is here! And I will be the king that sits atop in the new world. Bow down before me!" The monster, Hanaru, claimed as he held his arms out as if he were royalty.
"Like hell we will!" Lion stood up, breathing heavily as he held his sword, using it as a support to stay standing. The other two followed, also finding it hard to stand. The three looked at their enemy furiously.
"Ha ha ha! Let the fun begin!" Hanaru exclaimed as vines shot out of the ground and prepared to fire at the three rangers.
Let the battle in the Night Jungle begin!
