Interlude:

Geo: King Kizaru? I've never heard of such a king.

Arata: Maybe because you're always obsessed with Kite and his reign.

Geo: We'll, he is the only one worthy of attention. Alongside his Queen and the princess.

Arata: So, since I'm like related to them and so is Mari, would that make us a prince and a princess.

Geo: Nonsense. Mari is not on our side. She has proven to he on the side of the very man who wishes to destroy the existence of Super Sentai. And you, don't make me laugh.

Arata: What! I think I can be a good prince.

Geo: You haven't got the traits to he a prince of any kind, you behemoth.

Arata: Oh, you really want to start a fight, huh?

Geo: Shut up. Master Procrastinator, to the story. Now!

?: That's not how you address me!

Arata: Who was that?

Geo: I-I don't know.

Everyone: (room/screen goes black) *screans*

?: *evil laughter*

Chapter 33: Beast Battle

"What?!" Nearly half the room screamed as Hiroto shut off his computer.

"What do you mean you're leaving?" Tsubasa asked Hiroto.

"I have fulfilled my duty. All that's left for you is to find out who Kemono Eagle is and get her to join your team. Besides that, Noël will remain around here for a while. Maybe longer. Let's go, Miu." Hiroto said as he picked up a briefcase.

"Hai, Aniki." Miu obliged and gave hugs to the girls and pinched little Sana's cheeks.

"This isn't goodbye though, right?" Kite asked Hiroto who stopped.

"Of course it isn't. We'll see you every now and then. We are members of Super Sentai after all." Hiroto gave Kite a pat on the back with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that Noël will look after you all. He is a police officer and a phantom thief." Miu winked.

"Oui." Noël said with a bright smile.

"I'll be honest. It was fun. I know you guys can do it. Defeat Jiku. Protect the Earth. You are Super Sentai!" Hiroto proclaimed.

"We'll miss you guys. We won't let you down!" Kite claimed in a loud voice.

With a final nod and wave, Hiroto and Miu left. The rangers smiled a sad smile before shaking it off and deciding on what they need to do for the day. Meanwhile, Noël along with Yuya began speaking about King Kizaru.

"I can't believe we were mentored by our senpai's." Maya stated with a sad smile.

"It's not like they really did anything." Sosuke yawned as he stretched his arms up. He then felt a shock of pain as Madoka jabbed her elbow into his stomach.

"They did something you could never do anyways." Madoka flipped her hair back.

"Nani!" Sosuke yelled and the two began to bicker.

"There they go again." Akira sighed.

"I find it quite entertaining when they argue." Shun threw a chip into his mouth.

"That sure reminds me of Tara, huh Ryuga." Mai nudged Ryuga's side.

"Huh? Who's Tara?" Kenta asked.

"A part of my past I wish to forget." Ryuga claimed as he groaned into his open palm.

"A part of your past that you wish to forget?" Kenta whispered to himself.

"Ha Ha! It's ok to relive your past sometimes, Ryuga. The past helps us build up our future after all." Tsubasa claimed with a smile.

"Exactly, the past practically makes us who we are today. And we continue to build on it as we move further into our lives." Hyoma added.

"Agreed." Tsubasa chuckled.

"Sounds like an interesting concept." Sho concurred.

"Sounds like an excuse for something." Masamune stretched his arms out.

"You think everything's an excuse!" Reji exclaimed.

"Nani! How dare you!" Masamune jumped onto Reji and began to attack him.

"It sure has become lively around here." Ami smiled.

"Yup. I love it. It's exactly what a club like ours should be." Natsuki stated.

"Club? This is a club?" Zyro asked with a tilted head.

"Yes. The Super Sentai club. Well, the only members are really just me, Satoru and Sosuke. Kite has supported us though. I'm sure I can call him and the first five Kemonorangers members of the club." Natsuki explained with a smile.

"I'd be happy to join the club. Especially with a cutie like you in it." Akira flirt with the girl who giggled.

"Flirting your way into the club. Seriously." Kyoya scoffed.

"Does this mean that you are also a member?" Mai asked Kyoya who scoffed again.

"I would never be apart of such an idiotic-" Mai shut him up with her hand, placing it on his mouth.

"Allow me and Kyoya to enter this club." Mai smiled brightly. Kyoya was shocked.

"Really? You want to be apart of it. It'd be so cool to have a real life princess to be a part of my club. But as for Kyoya, applicants need to express their want to join the club." Natsuki smirked.

"He will gladly oblige." Mai said as she pulled her hand away from the man's face.

"I would never-" he shut himself up when he saw Mai's glare. The sounds of Sana's small giggle's were heard. "I mean, sure, I'd love to be a part of a club that studies the history of our Senpai." Kyoya let out nervously. Mai smirked and crossed her arms.

"Then I officially welcome you to the Super Sentai club!" Natsuki shot her arms out with a bright smile.

"Natsuki, calm down. They aren't even students. Our club-" Satoru was then hit in the head by Natsuki's notebook.

"Anyone can join out club, alright. Any other objections!" She turned to Sosuke who gulped and shook his head vigorously.

"Then I'd like to join the club." Akira raised his hand.

"Sounds like fun. Count me in." Shun responded.

"Oh, then can I join. Please!" Runo yelled out.

"Let me join! Me first! Me!" Reji and Masamune yelled together as they started pushing on each other.

"I would also like to join." Sho raised his hand.

"Count me in!" Yuya slapped Sho's back.

"Me and Zyro are in." Ami said with a bright smile. "And so is Sora." She hugged her brother from the side tightly, causing him to struggle in pain.

"Guess I can enroll since I'm in the same school as you all." Kenta said proudly.

"Guess theres no choice really, since everyone's doing it." Ryuga crossed his arms.

"And last but not least will be our big brother." Runo hugged Hyoma who chuckled.

"Of course I'd love to join." Hyoma hugged her back. "Of course you would. Anything to protect your precious family, right?" Shay's voice rang through his head. "Shut up."

"What?" Runo looked up at him.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. Ha ha." Hyoma laughed and hugged Runo again.

"Great! The whole team is a part of our club! We have a real Sentai joining our club!" Natsuki cheered.

"Well, technically, you still have one person to convince." Noël raised a finger.

"Who?" Natsuki tilted her head as she put her index finger over her chin

"Why I'm talking about Kemono Eagle of course. She seemed rather interesting. She may not be ok our side, but I doubt she'd be with the villains." Noël hummed as he looked up to the ceiling.

"That's right. She didn't seem hesitant on holding back against us." Kite noted.

"You think she was trying to defeat us for her own personal gain?" Tsubasa asked.

"It felt more like she was trying to kill." Sora said out loud after thinking it.

Kite heard this and began to think. He hummed as he thought back on a memory.

~flashback several years ago~

A nine year old Kite watched as his father and uncle sparred. They battled with kendo swords before throwing them to the side and commencing into a Tae Kwon Do match. Kite watched as his uncle tried harder to punch his father, almost as if trying to kill him.

In the end, Kite's father, Doji, had won against Kite's uncle, Tetsuya.

"Tetsuya. You sure make it easy." Doji chuckled as he helped his brother up.

"I wish you would take in consideration that Arata is watching me." Tetsuya groaned as he held his side.

"Way to go! Tosan!" Kite cheered.

"Kite. Come here." Doji called to his son.

"What is it Tosan." Kite asked as he ran up.

"Being as you are my only son at the moment, you need to be prepared for the worst. You are a man and I think it's time we start training you like one." Doji smiled.

"Really?" Kite asked with enthusiasm.

"Of course. You need to protect both of your sisters. I know Mari is older that you but even she needs protection just as much as Madoka does." Doji chuckled.

"And you need to make sure Arata doesn't get into trouble." Tetsuya gave the young boy a smile.

"Of course. I'll take care of all my family. No matter what." Kite proclaimed.

"Watch what you say Kite. Words like that tend to come back and bite you in the butt." Tetsuya explained.

"Well I think it's a nice proclamation. I believe in you son. Now, let us begin with our first lesson." Doji stood up and Kite followed him. He tried to pick up the Kendo stick but his father held him back, grabbing a helmet first.

~flashback ends~

Kite smiled as he reminisced on how his father taught him various fighting techniques. Maya saw his smile and wondered what he could be thinking until she felt her phone vibrate. She saw her brothers name on the caller ID and decided to answer the call.

"Wretched Sentai!" Zaku roared as he smashed his sword through the mini bar.

"Hey, take your anger out on something that isn't so close to me." Raizuma stood up and pushed Zaku up.

"Don't you touch me you pathetic fool. You've done nothing but stand around like a lousy minion. Leave that to the Ryaku." Zaku growled at Raizuma who chuckled.

"You dare say that to me when you yourself have done nothing. You just sit up here and watch these pathetic monsters fail endlessly against the Kemonorangers. You're funny." Raizuma chuckled.

"You trying to start a problem here." Zaku growled harshly.

"This doesn't look good." Baishisu who was standing by said as he backed up a little.

"Children, children. Stop all the fighting. It is pointless." Kasuto claimed as he walked in.

"What do you want wolf?" Zaku sat against the bar and popped open a full bottle of alcohol.

"Now now, you don't want to get drunk. You won't be able to serve Jiku-Sama that way." Kasuto chuckled.

"What's up with you. You were such a ravenous beast and now look at you. From growling at us over Kemono Red to becoming a lap dog." Zaku began drinking out of the bottle.

"Really, is that so?" Raizuma looked at Zaku and over to Kasuto.

"You are correct, but there's a simple reason for that." Kasuto cleared his throat.

Kasuto summoned his black blade and held it up to Zaku who deflected it with his own sword. Made of newly acquired golden metal. Baishisu watched in awe as his new creation was to be used.

"You see this blade. It isn't just some simple-"

Kasuto kicked the blade out of Zaku's hand, making it fly into the air. Kasuto slapped Zaku with his sword before kicking him again and holding the blade against his throat as Zaku's blade came down. Kasuto captured Zaku's sword and held it up to Zaku's throat as well.

"W-Woah!" Raizuma backed up as Kasuto let out a satisfied hum.

"What's wrong Zaku. I thought your reflexes were better than this." Kasuto chuckled darkly before pushing the blade further against Zaku's throat.

"Woah, Kasuto. C-Calm down now." Baishisu held up his arms.

"Yea. Don't kill him. He's like, Jiku's right hand dog. If he dies, who knows what'll happen to you." Raizuma backed Baishisu up.

"I'm sure Jiku wouldn't care if I got rid of dead weight." Kasuto chuckled again.

"Yes, but if he's already tired of losing so much, who's to say you aren't next?" Baishisu reasoned.

Kasuto looked over at him and scoffed. He pulled the blade back and dropped Zaku's sword to the ground. Kasuto chuckled again and left the room. Baishisu let out a sigh of relief. Raizuma just shook his head.

"You two! We move out! Today! We will defeat the Kemonorangers!" Zaku roared.

"I'm so excited!" Maya jumped up in down on her heels, watching as trains passed by. She awaited the arrival of her brother Damian who was coming to visit for the weekend.

"I know! These snacks are some of the rarest of their kind!" Akira let out.

"I know. I've never heard of some of these before so, I can't wait to try em'." Kite smiled brightly. The two were standing in front of a vending machine with their faces practically pushed on the glass.

"Thank you for allowing us to come. Ever since Madoka explained that Master Raiku communicated with you all through your little brother, I've been interested in learning more." Hyoma said to Maya who smiled.

"I'm also very interested in this." Sho said as he read a purple covered book.

"Whatcha reading there?" Hyoma asked.

"It's a journal i have written in, marking down some of the magical things I've seen. I already have our first transformations written down here. I've also written down my feelings about becoming a Kemonoranger." Sho explained as he flipped through the first pages.

"Interesting." Hyoma eyed the book. Sho saw this and hid his book.

"Sho-San, I appreciate you coming with me, but don't do anything weird please." Maya pleaded.

"Yea man, we don't need that today." Kite said as he and Akira appeared with a pile of snacks in their arms.

"How'd you both get so many snacks? Are they cheap?" Hyoma asked the pair.

"Nope." Kite answered.

"I kind of, may have, broke the machine after I kicked it." Akira answered.

"What?" Hyoma raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry bro, but my chips got stuck so I kicked the machine and these all came out. Blame the machine, not me." Akira chuckled.

"Of course you'd blame machines. You have no idea the wonders they can bring." The group turned to see Baishisu arrive along with a group of Ryaku. People on the platform began to run away as the monsters got closer.

"Baishisu!" Kite exclaimed as he and Akira dropped the snacks. The five rangers stood in a line as Baishisu approached.

"I'm much more of a pacifist but I decided that I wanted in on one battle. Just to see what you are made of." Baishisu chuckled.

"It's weird to see you come out. It's rare even." Kite claimed.

"The last time was... when Hyoma and Akira were released from your control." Maya said as she looked at the two boys worriedly.

"Ah, yes. I remember that. You two were great soldiers." Baishisu snickered.

"Don't call us soldiers!" Akira yelled.

"Calm down Akira. Keep your cool." Hyoma put his hand on the boys shoulder.

"Yes. Keep your cool boy. Wouldn't want to lose your temper so easily in front of the man who tortured you." Baishisu laughed.

"I'm gonna lose it, Hyoma." Akira let out.

"Let's quit talking and get to fighting." Sho closed his book with a single hand as he pulled out his battery.

"You heard the man." Kite nodded as he took lead. They all activated their respective morphers and batteries.

"Kemono Striker! Spirit Unleashed!" They all yelled after inserting their batteries into their morphers. They then shot out their animal spirits which came back to them and transformed them into their Ranger forms.

"Ryaku! Attack!" Baishisu yelled as the beasts roared and ran after the rangers.

"Raiku Sabers!" Red announced as the team summoned their bladed sidearms. "Let's go!"

The five ran into battle and slashed at the beasts, entering an all out battle. Red swing his sword in a circle before pulling out his Raiku Blaster and shooting the Ryaku in the chest.

"You should let me take over." Yuma said to Kite within his head.

"No! You're too dangerous to let out." Red responded.

"I'm the dangerous one? I have a different opinion. If anything, the other reds in here are worse." Yuma scoffed.

"Shut up!" Kite groaned.

"Oh no! Damian's train should be arriving soon!" Pink informed the others.

"Then let's make quick work of these assholes!" Sho yelled as he used a sonic screech technique, blowing all the monsters back.

"Sonic screech? Nice." Orange admired before slashing at a Ryaku.

"Let me out!" Shay yelled in Hyoma's head.

"I still don't understand you. And I don't want to ask anyone to try and help me. So until I figure out who or what you are, you aren't coming out!" Silver yelled as he pulled out his Raiku blaster, spinning it around ten times quickly before shooting five Ryaku in a row.

"Should we call the others for help?" Pink asked.

"No! I'm pretty sure they'll be busy with their own things. We got this. It's just a bunch of minions." Red responded as he slashed at another of the beasts.

"Yea, and a general. So how about we finish these lightweight quickly." Sho interjected.

"Allow me!" Orange summoned his staff and spun it around in the air a few times before bringing it lower, spinning his entering body while pivoting his foot on the ground where he stood.

"I knew something like this would happen. Heh, luckily I had these others upgraded just in case. Gadorabaja!" As Orange finished off the mere foot soldiers, the blue guard-typed soldiers appeared. These new Gadora, however, seemed to have had armor upgrades and held swords of their own.

"Knights. Like the ones from old England?" Silver was confused at this sight.

"I suppose so." Red shrugged.

"Be careful. It seems like they won't be as easy as those other guys." Pink told the boys who nodded their heads.

"Bring it on!" Baishisu roared.

"Hiyah!" The rangers each posed before charging at their enemies who stood like common guards.

Orange jumped up first and flung his staff forward only to he met with a shield. Orange pushed his staff against the shield as he landed on his feet. He tried to push back but the Gadora simply chuckled and shot him back into one of the platforms poles.

"Baishisu must've given them upgrades. We need to be careful." Red said to the others who gave a simple nod of understanding.

"That hurt!" Orange stood and began to scream as he ran towards the fight.

"Seems things will be taken care of here. I wonder how the other two will fare with their targets." Baishisu spoke to himself as he looked up at the sky.

"Father, this is Tsubasa, son of Mizuchi Toru-San." Daimon opened the door to his fathers office as he allowed Tsubasa, Kyoya, Ryuga, Sora and Kenta enter, "along with a few acquaintances."

"Well, quite a few young men. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Koji looked at the boys.

"I'm terribly sorry for interrupting your day, Koji-San. My father has asked me to come and collect a few folders for him that you had promised." Tsubasa smiled before bowing politely.

"Ah yes. Daimon, go and get the folders. The ones I gave you to put away securely." Koji signaled to which Daimon nodded. He bowed and left the room. "Would you boys like anything to drink. Perhaps I can offer my favorite whiskey." Koji walked over to a table near the beginning of the huge window that overlooked Tokyo.

"No thank you sir. We are just here on a quick mission for my father. We are actually going to meet a few of our other friends right now and watch a movie." Tsubasa talked to the man as he walked closer to him. The other boys stood back near the door they used to enter.

"I'm getting a weird vibe from this room." Sora said.

"It's probably just the nerves of being in the presence of someone with so much power." Ryuga crossed his arms.

"Yea right. Like I would care about where I am." Sora grunted.

"You've come here before, right Kyoya?" Kenta asked.

"Yea. It seems this company is into all things that have to do with the ecosystem and the planet or what not. But I also saw that they've dipped their toes into other fields of science and careers. Mostly space stuff." Kyoya muttered the last part as he leaned against the door.

Daimon then re-entered the room with a few folders in his hands.

"I heard that Tsubasa's fathers company is similar. But they are more into the architectural kind of stuff." Kenta spoke.

"His father seems to be the person to focus on a lot of things. I wouldn't be surprised." Kyoya closed his eyes.

"Why do you think Sosuke hates him then. If he would be able to focus on many things, you'd think someone could focus on their own family." Sora commented.

"Sometimes, when a person does something terrible in the past, it's hard to forgive them. Maybe that's what Sosuke is experiencing." Ryuga chimed in.

"Hard to forgive, huh?" Kenta said as he sighed. He looked down at his feet, thinking very deeply about something.

"What was that sigh about?" Ryuga asked.

"Nothing. Just thinking about something." Kenta sighed again as the thoughts of seeing two people perish at the hands of a mysterious monster came to his mind.

"These are the files for your father. Take care of them." Koji warned the boy who nodded.

"Arigatou-gozaimasu, I'll make sure my father recieves these in perfect condition." Tsubasa bowed towards the man.

"Please do." Koji chuckled.

"Very well, me and my friends will be off." Tsubasa gave a nod of respect and turned. The others followed him as he exited.

"It seems this partnership will be very beneficial to us father." Daimon smiled towards his father, who sat in his desk chair and sighed.

"Blue Kemonoranger. You seem like a very bright boy. You may be of use to me. or perhaps, a nuisance." Koji thought to himself.

...

"Make sure my father receives these." Tsubasa spoke to his fathers driver. The man nodded and drove off, leaving the group behind.

"Let's go! i can hear the food calling!" Kenta exclaimed.

The group began to walk off until the loud sound of an explosion captured their attention. They all turned in the direction of a train station. they all burst into a run, passing by civilians with worried expressions.

"What could that have been?" Sora asks.

"Don't know but im certain it occurred near or at the train station." Tsubasa said as they ran. The five entered a plaza before being shot at. They all looked up and were quite shocked to see the emerging figure of Raizuma.

"Raizuma!" Sora grit his teeth as anger filled him.

"Well if it isn't my lucky day. Smart-ass blue, wannabe strong green, traitor purple, whimpy white and crybaby crimson." Raizuma chuckled as he mentioned each of them by color.

"You stupid or something?" Kyoya groaned.

"Traitor purple?" Kenta looked at Ryuga with concerned eyes.

"I'm not stupid!" Raizuma roared as he snapped his fingers. The sounds of thunder filled the air and with a flash, a group of Ryaku appeared.

"Really? Cause you look stupid." Kyoya chuckled quietly.

"Enough talk, let's go." Tsubasa announced. The four others nodded and pulled out their batteries as they activated their morphers.

"Kemono Striker! Spirit Unleashed!" The group yelled as they shot their animals spirits out and transformed.

"Raiku Sabers!" The group pulled out their sidearms and dashed forward.

"Heh, brave souls." Raizuma summoned his own blade and launched himself forward. He came crashing down onto Crimson who thrust his sword above him. Raizuma's blade managed to clash with the Raiku Saber and the two began to clash.

"You have sole nerve showing up like this!" Crimson claimed.

"I'm just doing my part of the plan." Raizuma pushed Crimson back. Crimson then pulled out his staff and spun it around.

"Bring it!" Crimson yelled. The two clashed with each other, prompting sparks to fly off their weapons.

"I don't get what we are doing here." Arata said as he looked at everyone who appeared upside down. At least to him. He was currently the one leaned up against the tree, doing a handstand. The group was actually hanging around a lake.

"Runo said she wanted to take some photos to take into a musical audition." Ami claimed.

"Is she trying to be an idol or a gravure model?" Arata asked as he tried to keep himself lifted with one hand.

"What's the difference?" Zyro asked as he helped Ami with the outfits they brought.

"One is a musical idol and the other one poses in magazines that target a male audience." Arata said with a sort of smart-ass tone.

"Runo has already done some gravure modeling. She wants to try to get into the music business. But she still does gravure shoots, especially after breaking free from Jiku's ranks." Ami said as she pulled out a magazine from a box and showed it to Arata.

The boy fell forward and landed on his feet. He grabbed the magazine as he lifted himself up and opened it. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Seeing the almost naked girl who was the same girl who fought against monsters somehow gave him a weird feeling.

"Oiii!! Stop drooling over my sister!" Shun quickly snapped the magazine in Arata's face and the boy flinched.

"Hey man, I was just admiring your sexy- I mean smart sister!" Arata said as his cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

"Idiot." Masamune sighed.

"Ok everyone, Runo is ready." Mai announced as she, along with Sosuke who was helping carrying Mai's child, appeared from wherever they had gone.

"Finally." Reji fell from the tree and stretched.

"I still don't get why I didn't get to help." Madoka walked up and stood next to Arata and Shun with her hands in the pockets of her jacket.

"It's hard to work and be a mother at the same time." Mai giggled.

"I never thought I'd hear someone as young as you say that." Sosuke let out a breath as he spoke.

"You got the camera ready, Yuya?" Mai asked the boy who was reading a book.

"Did you all seriously have to interrupt my research for this. Ugh!" Yuya groaned as he activated his camera and made sure it was snapped in place on the tripod.

"Shut up and get ready to shoot." Mai smiled.

"Ugh!" Yuya groaned loudly while rolling his eyes.

"Ok Runo! We're ready for you!" Mai yelled out. A few seconds later, Runo walked out wearing a pink, striped bikini which hugged her body perfectly, making all the guys jaws drop, with the exception of Shun who was too stunned and shocked to do or say anything. His eyes were wide open with fear and anger.

"Wow. Runo. You look hot!" Madoka exclaimed.

"No she's not! W-What is this?!" Shun yelled at the top of his lungs. All the guys were too shocked and were literally jumped after Shun's scream. Ami was shocked at everything and a little pissed off at Zyro who had gawked at Runo.

"I see you guys like it." Runo giggled as she spun around.

"Stop that! What is this! This is- I don't even know what to say!" Shun continually shouted.

"Dude! Your sister is hot!" Sosuke commented.

"You little!" Shun was about to punch him but stopped himself when baby Sana giggled. He ended up punching a tree instead.

"Would you stop overreacting, Shun." Runo said as she got into a position

"Why would I stop! Just wait until I tell Hyoma and Akira hear about this. Oh~, you are gonna be in trouble!" Shun was pacing around impatiently. He then grabbed Sana's blanket from Sosuke's shoulder and lunged at his sister, covering her chest, keeping the view of her breasts from the guys.

"What are you doing?! Stop! Shun! I'm your older sister! You listen to me!" Runo pushed Shun and then kicked him in the gut, right into Masamune, who groaned after hitting the tree behind him.

"Ok, stop fighting already." Mai glared at the two.

"Let's get started!" Runo exclaimed and walked towards the lake. Yuya and Madoka followed. Just as Sosuke was about to follow, his phone rang.

"Here Mai, I've got to take this." Sosuke handed Sana over to Mai who nodded and followed the other two. Sosuke then pulled out his phone and felt a sense of relief and worry hit him. He proceeded to answer. "Hello."

"Sosuke~ I need you to come to the parks center. I need to take to you." Sosuke heard the sound of his sisters voice.

"Miku." Sosuke said as he looked across the lake, towards the parks center. Miku smiled at her brother before hanging up.

"I need to go. I'll be right back." Sosuke said as he left.

"Wonder where he's going?" Arata questioned as he ignored the struggling Zyro crying for help as he tried to escape an angry Ami.

...

"Miku." Sosuke walked up to the bench that Miku sat on.

"Hey little bro." Miku smiled as she looked over at Sosuke, talking off the sunglasses she wore.

"What do you want? Does Tsubasa know you've contacted me?" Sosuke asked.

"Since when do you care if Tsubasa knows anything?" Miku smirked and Sosuke clenched his fist.

"When did you change. You used to be so happy-go-lucky and now you're acting like a badass. Actors." Sosuke rolled his eyes.

"Ah! I can assure you I've always been like this. I've just needed to put up a facade against Tsubasa. He's so annoying." Miku crossed her arms.

"Huh? What's up with you. You look up to Tsubasa." Sosuke had a face of contortion.

"Tsubasa is such a nuisance sometimes. I can never trust him. Just like I can't trust father." Miku spat out.

"Now you've got my attention." Sosuke sat down next to her.

"Have you talked to mother recently?" Miku asked as she looked at the lake. Sosuke faced the lake as well.

"No. I kind of felt... like she just abruptly left. She didn't even seem hesitant to leave me after we spent most of our lives together." Sosuke looked down at his hands sadly.

"You and mom have always had quite the connection. It's sweet." Miku said. Sosuke could almost hear the hints of the Miku he truly knows. The one who was always happy and smiling. The one who chose to pursue her dreams of acting and actually achieved it. But something about her was different.

"We did." Sosuke said without a thought.

"I can see now why you hate father. I never knew what kind of monster he was." Miku let out and caused Sosuke to lift his head up. He turned his head slowly towards Miku who had tears in her eyes already.

"What's wrong?" Sosuke asked.

"What? Oh, it's nothing." Miku smiled as she wiped the stray tears that fell onto her cheeks.

"Somethings wrong. I may be the youngest but I know when you are in pain. Tell me what happened?" Sosuke asked.

"It's just that... father, he... he is abusive." Miku let the dam burst as she sat up straight before bending over, holding her face in her hands, her elbows digging into the pair of jeans she wore.

"What?" Sosuke looked with a horrified expression.

"Sosuke, join us. Leave the Kemonorangers. If you help Ryotaro, he'll help us. He'll save mother from father and give us a new start. We'll disappear from the face of the earth and start new lives." Miku practically jumped onto Sosuke.

"Nani!" Sosuke pushed her back and stood up, startled.

"Please Sosuke!" Miku pleaded.

"What the hell are you talking about! First of all, Ryotaro is trying to kill me and the others. Second of all, you can't just come here and say that father is abusing mother. That... that makes no sense! It's like some stupid movie. Is that what this is? Ryotaro has you acting in some stupid act to get me to come over to your side. What the fuck is going on!" Sosuke was now angry but felt tears threaten as well. He didn't know where they were coming from or why they were coming.

"Sosuke, plea-"

"Oi! Sosuke-kun!" Both of them looked up to see Sakuya waving his arm in the air. Noël, now in uniform, and Tsukasa following behind him.

"Sakuya-San?" Sosuke asked as Sakuya arrived, patting Sosuke on his shoulder.

"What's up, Sosuke. Oh, is this your sister, the famous movie star? She's pretty but not as pretty as my Umika-Chan. No offense." Sakuya had on the same bright smile he always had while laughing continuously throughout his speech.

"Is that true? It's always nice to meet a celebrity. If you don't mind me asking, what movies have I see you in?" Noël asked with his usual polite tone.

"Ah, I'm sorry but I don't really like to talk about my movies when I'm on vacation." Miku blushed slightly.

"That's too bad. But I understand." Noël smiled again. Meanwhile, Tsukasa eyed Miku suspiciously.

"So what are you guys doing in the park?" Sakuya asked.

"Mai and Runo decided to do something to help boost Runo's chances of becoming an idol. Turns out she used to be a secret gravure idol without her brothers knowing. Now she's trying to break into the music and acting world." Sosuke explained, brushing off the conversation he and his sister had, which caused Mikey to slightly glare at him.

"Ah, I see. Well, you should tell Runo to be careful. There's always weird guys at parks. But as long as the others are with her, I'm sure she's safe." Sakuya grinned.

"Thanks for the info." The four rangers turned to see Ryotaro appear as he fired from his upgraded machine gun. The four jumped out of the way, doing barrel rolls onto their knees.

"What the hell?" Sakuya looked at the man.

"Ryotaro!" Sosuke glared at the man who smirked.

"Hello, KemonoBlack." Ryotaro chuckled. He now had a bit of stubble showing off along with what appeared to be a faint mustache.

"You're growing old." Sosuke noted, causing the hunter to roll his eyes.

"SES." Tsukasa looked at Ryotaro's armband.

"Ryotaro, I told you to give me a chance." Miku ran up to him.

"Mari promised you a chance. I don't give two shits if he joins us or not." Ryotaro spit on the ground.

"Wow, how welcoming." Sosuke sarcastically said after rolling his eyes.

"Let's see if a Bull can outrun this." Ryotaro snapped his fingers. The group was now surrounded by exo-suited soldiers. Mari appeared next to Ryotaro as well, handing Miku her sniper.

"Ah shit." Sosuke groaned.

"Should've known!" Everyone looked over as DekaOmega punched a soldier back. He rolled on the ground and launched himself up to his feet.

"DekaOmega. How nice of you to join us. Get them all." Ryotaro snapped his fingers.

"You should all probably transform." DekaOmega turned his head towards them. They all nodded and quickly activated their changers.

"Kemono Striker! Spirit Unleashed!" Sosuke yelled.

"Keisatsu Change!" The three GSPO officers yelled. All four were now transformed and ready to battle.

"Let's go!" DekaOmega yelled as he dashed forward.

...

Back with the others, they finished up quickly due to Shun's annoying requests. Runo and Mai made secret plans to do it some other time when he wasn't around.

After Runo dressed back into her clothes, the group began to leave while discussing what they wanted to eat. Zyro then stopped in his tracks. He felt the wind around him blow and turned his head to his right, looking behind him through his peripherals.

"Everyone down!" Zyro tackled Ami to the ground, holding her head. Everyone else ducked a huge explosion blew up behind them.

"What the hell was that?" Shun looked back.

"Almost had ya. If only that ninja wasn't so damn bright." Zaku chuckled as he carried the sword on his shoulder.

"Zaku!" Zyro roared.

"You would think that being rangers, you'd all be ready for anything. I can see that only one of you is." Zaku chuckled yet again.

"What are you doing here?" Masamune growled.

"What does it look like. I'm here to kill you!" Zaku snapped his fingers and a group of Ryaku charged forward.

"Shit!" The guys took charge as the girls stayed back, hiding Ami behind them.

"Kemono Striker! Spirit Unleashed!" The boys yelled together and transformed. They quickly pulled out their sabers and attacked the charging Ryaku.

"Ami, take Sana and run!" Madoka commanded. Ami nodded and Mai hand Sana over to her. Mai kissed her child on the head and Ami was off. Sana was crying as she was sent off.

"He made Sana cry. I'm gonna kill him!" Mai said.

"Kemono Strikers! Spirit Unleashed!" The girls yelled in unison and transformed. They each took out their blasters and began shooting at the Ryaku that awaited their turns to attack.

"Looks like Red and Blue are with the other groups. Guess I'll settle for you, Navy boy." Zaku charged towards KemonoNavy who had just hit a Ryaku beast back with his staff. Navy quickly turned to see Zaku and was immediately punched back into a tree, causing it to crack. He groaned as he felt winded.

"Come on, get up! Don't tell me that's all you got!" Zaku's grin could be heard.

"Don't... underestimate... me!" Navy stood up and began running as soon as he did, spinning his staff above him before placing it in between his body and his right arm.

"Go ahead and show me that thunder of yours." Zaku swing his sword forward. Navy quickly spun his staff up and was able to stop the sword in the air. He then kicked Zaku back, did a back spin and slashed the monster across his chest. Sparks fell off Zaku's body as he was sent stumbling back.

"Heh, os that all you got?" Navy chuckled to himself and stood up, spinning the staff in front of him.

"Funny." Zaku charged his sword and shot a ball of fire towards the ranger who felt the immense pain in his gut.

"How about you stop picking on the weak one!" Lion jumped forward, flying through the sky before crashing his fists into the monsters chest. Zaku stumbled back again.

"Oi!" Navy looked up.

"Lions have always interested me. I've always wanted to hunt them." Zaku slashed Lion across the chest. Lion rolled on the ground and held onto his chest.

"You almost hurt my daughter you bastard!" Dolphin pulled out her Dolphin Crossbow. She shot at Zaku ten times, striking him all ten times with accuracy.

"Bitch!" Zaku charged up another fireball and shot it at Dolphin.

"Mai!" Panther managed to tackle her out of the way. Both of them spinning on the ground.

"Arigatou, Yuya." Dolphin said to Panther as they stood up. Panther nodded simply and activated his Panther Hammer. He quickly charged at Zaku, holding his hammer out to his left, the back of the handle pointed out towards the sky.

Zaku lifted his sword as Panther slid his hands up the handle of the hammer, bringing it down into Zaku. The hammer was met with the sharp blade of Zaku's sword. Panther then began a continuous attack, trying to strike Zaku who grew bored of what was happening. On the next hammer swing, Zaku spun around, letting go of his sword for a bit and grabbing it again. Gripping the handle, Zaku let the blade scratch Panther's torso, making the Ranger choke on his spit as he was thrown back by the sparks from his suit.

"Yuya!" Dolphin yelled.

Snake, Yellow and Gold dashed forward. Snake led the charge and hit Zaku with his spear. He held the monster up, Zaku actually being quite surprised by the attack. Zaku felt the trunk of a tree hit his back as Snake retreated his spear back. Yellow then jumped forward, clashing her claws against the monster. She jumped back, allowing Gold to fly in. Her grips quickly snagged Zaku up and she threw him into the air before slashing him three times from different directions.

"Tsk tsk, Zaku. You disappoint me." Zaku looked up to see Kasuto standing in a tree with Junichi and Naomi standing there as well, smiling.

"Kasuto." Navy observed.

"I'm not here to fight. Not today. But I am here to witness everything." Kasuto claimed.

"Argh!" The sound of a person cut through the air as Red and Blue came crashing into the ground in between the heroes and villains. The rest of the rangers followed. Raizuma and Baishisu quickly gathered up with Zaku.

"Tsk, Zaku! Why are you on the ground?" Raizuma asked as he shook his head.

"Don't push me." Zaku growled at the two.

"What is he doing here?" Baishisu asked.

"Kasuto?" Red looked at the wolf.

"Hmm, Kemono Red. If you don't defeat Zaku here and now, I will lose respect for you entirely." Kasuto claimed before disappearing.

"We'll stick around to watch." Naomi sent a kiss to Red who shook his head.

"Argh!" The rangers turned to see Black and DekaOmega landed on the ground behind them.

"Guys!" Red yelled before watching as the Patrangers battled soldiers in exo-suits.

"Patrangers." Blue observed.

"Great. You're all gathered. Time for the boom." Ryotaro snapped his fingers and a soldier appeared holding a bazooka of sorts.

"Ah shit!" Green let out as the soldier shot out a rocket. It crashed right in front of the rangers, blowing up and sending a full powered shockwave. Everyone felt this and fell back, crashing onto the ground hard.

"Is this guy crazy?" Silver questioned.

"He might as well should be." Purple swiped some dirt from his shoulder.

"Could this get any worse?" Red asked.

"Slicer!" Red was hit by a huge weapon three times, two times in the front and once in the back.

"Ani!" Yellow yelled as Eagle flew into attack, kicking Red towards the lake.

"There she is." Naomi smirked. "Does this mean we help her?" Naomi asked.

"I don't have a great feeling about this. Let's stay back for now." Junichi claimed.

"Ha, some partners you are." Eagle scoffed before going into the attack once again.

"No you don't, you bitch!" Yellow ran towards the two.

"I'll go help her!" Orange followed her.

"You three are ours!" Silver claimed.

"We should split up. Half of us should take on Ryotaro's stupid group!" Black turned towards them.

"Let's split then! Go!" The rangers split and went towards their targets.

With the other three, Red and Yellow fought against Eagle who continued to use her slicer to try and take the siblings down.

"You two don't understand what kind threat you are!" Eagle yelled at them. She held the slicer by one of its blades and brought it down only for it to clash with the Tiger Sword. Red pushed her back and slashed at her with fire.

"Look, we don't know what problem you have, but we don't want to fight!" Red claimed.

"Well, I don't care what you want!" Eagle did a spin kick only to be kicked by Yellow.

"Stay away from him!" Yellow yelled.

"Yah!!!" Eagle jumped up into the sky, Red and Yellow ready to defeats until...

Everything stopped.

The soldiers stopped moving as did the rangers along with the monsters. Time seemed to freeze as slight movements died down. Everyone was frozen in place.

"Yare Yare, how pathetic." Three figures emerged in the middle of the battlefield looking at the mess in front of them.

"What did you expect?" A females voice spoke. The first figure came into the light. Her figure was curvy with a body of black and gold color. Her body was bladed and sharp. Her hands had claws on them and her ears were sharp and pointed out. Her face resembled that of a cat, having green eyes as well with what looked like a crown surrounding her head.

"Was it bad to expect more from opponents you want a challenge from?" The second figure emerged. He had a more buff look with the head of a dragon, yellow eyes as well, along with the long neck that extend backwards. He was also black and gold in color and had various ancient markings, each depicting a dragon in different cultures. As well as flame carvings, he also had claws along with holes in his hands. His sharp teeth shined gold.

"Everything here is just a big mess. I was expecting more. Not this." The third figure appeared. Another feline like monster appeared, having an appearance mostly related to that of a lion, tiger and cheetah. He had what looked like dreadlocks coming off the back of his head with golden closed teeth and red eyes. His body looked armored and made it look as if he were wearing a jacket. His paws were a bit bigger and had claws as well.

"Well, if you were expecting more, you should've listened to me and stayed behind." The female spoke.

"As if I would miss the opportunity to see the rangers battle." The third figure crossed his arms and scoffed, turning away from the other two.

"Would both of you calm down." The second figure shook his head.

"Yokuneko, Sorago, Dokuna. How nice if you to join me." Jiku appeared from behind the three, calling their names in order.

"Ah~ Jiku-Sama." Yokuneko cheered.

"Jiku, why have you called?" Sorago asked looking towards the monster with a huge staff.

"Maybe he's finally had enough of us." Dokuna shrugged.

"You three are still the same. That's perfect." Jiku chuckled darkly.

"What do you want with us?" Sorago pulled up a shield and sword looking towards the monster that was surrounded with darkness.

"I know we've battled in the past and left off on the wrong foot, but I want to make it up to you. You see these monsters. Now is your opportunity to show them all what a proper warrior looks like. They can only engage in what I call, a Beast Battle." Jiku moved his staff over the field.

"Interesting." Dokuna looked over the Warriors.

"What's in it for us?" Sorago asked, his deep voice sounded as if it could split the sky or sea.

"Yes. What does the great Jiku~ have to offer." Yokuneko walked around Jiku.

"Power. Unbelievable power that will guarantee you leadership, dominance, undeniable power, as stated before." Jiku turned away.

"I say we take the offer. I want to see what these guys are made of." Dokuna voiced.

"Me too. The boys seem interesting." Yokuneko giggled.

"Very well, let's see where this will take us." Sorago said, making Jiku smile.

"We shall start soon." Jiku lifted his staff up and then slammed it into the ground, causing a huge light to engulf the entire area and anyone surrounding areas.

"More pests. What a disgusting sight." Geo let out in disgust as he watched the light overtake everything. Even he was engulfed in the light, taken to who knows where.
