A/N: Hey guys, this is a story I came up with and there will be another story that resembles this one. I'm basically making a Power Rangers series and a Super Sentai Counterpart series. I've gotten a lot of help from two buddies of mine and I hope you enjoy.

(Disclaimer: I do not own the Power Rangers or any characters and teams associated with it, it is owned by Hasbro. I only take ownership for my own ideas and my own characters.)

Chapter 1: Animal Strike

The day was beautiful. The sun was out. The wind blowing at the right amount of speed. People were all over the place. People were walking to work or walking home. Others were sitting around the plaza enjoying the nice day.

Humans live their lives in peace. The city was always noisy even at night time. Beast City was created for the purpose of keeping people safe. So many safe zones and safety precautions were taken to make sure everyone felt safe. Beast City was created by a mysterious man who disappeared long ago.

"Can we get ice cream mom?" a little boy asked his mother as they walked across the plaza.

"Maybe, if you are patient while I'm in the store, we can get ice cream." the mother told her son with a big smile.

As the boy skipped happily a sudden explosion was heard. Before the mother could react and reach her child, an explosion occurred separating both of them in an instant.

The mother looked up to see more explosions and smoke rising from the destroyed buildings. She looked around for her son and she couldn't find him.

Around her were other people also looking for their loved ones. As everyone got up to begin their search, a group of figures appeared from the smoke.

The people thought they were rescuers, coming to find them. It was until the figures appeared that the people gained fear in their eyes.

"Mon.. Mon... MONSTERS!!" a person yelled as he pointed out to the creatures now coming towards them. The creatures making noises as they moved in formation. They began moving forward. Their walk became a run as they ran towards the humans as they were beginning their run. As some ran, others stood in fear. These monsters looked like distorted humans. Their faces looked like gas masks. The had mechanical implants. Their handheld weapons were axe like and could become blasters.

The monsters were getting closer and closer with their weapons in hands. There weapons were axe like with a spear head at the bottom and a way for them to become blasters.

Suddenly, the monsters were blasted back. As some of the monsters disappeared others replaced them. These monsters looked up to see a figure on a low rooftop.

"You dirty Ravagers." Suddenly the figure jumped from the rooftop and landed in front of the monsters.

As he landed he blasted a few more and pulled out his second sidearm. He formed the sword from the smaller looking blade. He held the handle and pulled the sword close to his face and turned the sword so that its side was facing the monsters.

"Always messing with people lives," the figure stated, "Don't you have something better to do."

With that, the figure began his attack. He slashed a few monsters and blasted a few more. The red blasts striking the monsters in the middle of their bodies. He continued doing so as more and more monsters appeared.

"Is there no end to you guys." The figure said before being blasted out of the smoke that covered him.

He looked up to see a different looking monster. This monster looked more bug like with hands like a mantis. His face looked like a cool halloween mask. The face of a mantis is what it looked like with a humanoid look to it. It's eyes orange and it's antena sticking out from its head. His body a light green with some black.

"How dare you interfere, Ranger!" The monster yelled at the person in front of him.

The Red Ranger now stood in front of the monster. His suit had a cool design. He had stripes resembling a tigers stripes all around his suit. The stripes black while the suit was red. His boots were red with more black markings and the collar of the boots being gold colored. His helmet resembled a tiger with black eyes on the top on each side. The visor was black and resembled a tigers mouth when open. The whole suit had a black tiger motif while a black tiger stylized number 1 remanined in the middle of the suit. His belt was gold with a buckle that was square shaped with the Animal Strike logo in the middle along with the stylized 1. On his left arm was a sort of wristband, that when the middle was pressed it would transform into his Morpher. On his right holster, he had what looked like a blaster, the Strike Blaster as it was called and on his left holster, he had what looked to be a sword, the Strike Saber as that was called.

The Red Ranger stood looking directly at the monster. He studied him looking all around and then looking at his surrondings.

"What are you looking at?" the monster yelled the question at the ranger.

"Nothing for you to worry about." The Red Ranger stated as he took out his blaster once again, firing red blasts at the monster.

The monster fell back, but got immediately got back up. He looked towards the ranger only to realize that he was gone. He looked around before being slashed from behind by the rangers sword.

The monster got up and began using his hands, which had transformed to look like a mantis' arms which looked like blades, to send slashs towards the ranger. The ranger was sent back by this. He looked up to see the monster charging up a bigger one. Before he could react an electrical slash was sent to the ranger sending him flying backwards into a car. The ranger got up only to be blasted again by a slash made of fire.

"Ok I'm tired of this." With that the red ranger jumped up into the air and moved behind the monster, kicking him in his back.

The ranger pressed the middle of the wristband on his left hand and his Morpher was produced. He then clicked his belt buckle and it opened, revealing what looked to be a battery like object. The ranger took it out and looked at it. With a nod, he opens the middle of the Morpher and inserted the battery into the Morpher before closing it again. He input a code on the side and a hologram of a sword appeared over the Morpher.

In an instant, the tiger symbol on his chest glowed as something came out of the light. In front of the red ranger was now a sword. A better sword than his standard sword. It looked like a katana blade. The handle was red and black. The blade itself remained a nice shining silver color. On the middle of the handle, was a circle. The circle was gold and within the circle, was a tiger engraving, sort of looking like a power coin.

"Tiger Sword!" The Red Ranger yelled out as he grabbed the sword and immediately began his rush towards the monster. The monster prepared his own sharp hands and they clashed. The sword hit the monsters hands. It remained like that before the ranger faked a strike. With the monster now off balance, the Red Ranger took his opportunity and slashed the monster at his stomach.

The monster was thrown back by the blow. As the Red Ranger walked closer to the monster, he was blasted by a more powerful blast. He looked up to see three new figures appear.

"Well Well Well," the monster on the roof began, "seems we have a ranger problem."

The other monsters laughed diabolically. As they emerged, the red ranger could get a better view of them.

The one on the roof was enveloped in a black cloud. Electricity crackled from the smoke. No figure could be seen. The only thing that could be seen were red eyes with no pupils.

The one to his right was a more goblin monster looking figure. He had glasses in front of his red eyes. He was green and had what looked like black pants on. He had what looked like a backpack which was big and black. He had a crown like thing on his head with two spring antenna on his head.

The last figure was a tiger and lion like monster. He had a scar on his left eye. He was red, orange and gold. He had a coat cape on. He had a more humanoid look to him. He had a sword on his back which was clearly a huge sword.

"Axis!" was the only word that the ranger could spit out.

"So you've heard of me." the monster was clearly pleased with being acknowledged. If he could be seen, he would have a big smirk on his face.

"I swear to you, I will take you down!" the Red Ranger screamed as he began his rush attack against the monster. He was stopped dead in his tracks however by a slash sent by the monster standing to the other monsters left.

"Just to make sure you know," the monster began, "I am Axis. This one to my right is Byxis. The other one is Zaku."

The monsters were all clearly pleased.

"Stay out of our way or die at the hands of Axis!" Zaku yelled out to the ranger.

Before the Red Ranger could move, he was attacked again and when he looked up he saw that the monster disappeared. All he could hear was the laughing of Axis as it slowly went away. The Red Ranger hit the ground with his fist.

He got up to leave before he heard the voice of a concerned woman. She was calling out to her child. The Red Ranger looked around before spotting a few people getting up and leaving with limps, being helped by medical staff. He saw a boy wandering calling out to his mother.

The Red Ranger sighed and walked over to the boy. He picked up the boy without a word and moved over to where his mother was. He dropped the boy into the mothers arms.

"Thank You!" She exclaimed, "Thank You!"

With that, the Red Ranger turned and walked away before jumping up into the air disappearing into the day. The boy stared at him until he was gone.

"So, how's your day so far!" A happy man, with some freaky black and white hair and an autoshop jumpsuit, asked the Red Ranger. The man also had a pair of goggles on his face which he moved down so that they hung around his neck.

"Everything went alright Mick, like always." the Red Ranger told him.

"You always say that." Mick said happily as he was working on some ranger weapons.

"Ok fine," the Red Ranger began, "he showed up today, in person."

Without movement, Mick knew who the red ranger was talking about. He shifted uncomfortably. The last time he faced a big bad face to face was when he was stuck on the Galaxy Warriors ship.

Just then, a flash of fire appeared in the middle of the room. The room was a big one. It was a command center after all. The command center was located near Beast City. It was located in a forest, underground. Computer screens on one wall. On the other wall were teleporters that helped with teleporting anything or anyone to any place on Earth. The rooms color was mostly white with other colors around lighting up the room. In the middle was a huge table where things could also be viewed and various other activities could be held. It was basically a laboratory or a combination of Power Ranger command centers. The Animal Strike logo, a hawk to be precise, was on the back wall which was a door that slid open allowing for people to exit the command center.

The fire subdued and right where the fire had been, was a man. The man had regular hair, or hair that looked like Hawkeyes as the red ranger would say. He wore a long black robe with a red shirt that could be seen. He also had black pants and black boots.

"Kai!" the Red Ranger almost fell over, "What are you doing here?"

"So, Axis has shown up?" Kai asked a question that sounded more like a statement.

"The rumors were true then?" the Red Ranger asked, "Axis was going to comeback and that's why you needed me to become a Power Ranger."

"Did you ever doubt me?" Kai asked another question that also sounded like a statement.

"I had my doubts, considering that I would have never thought of myself worthy of being a Power Ranger." The Red Ranger made a statement.

"Well, like I told you, you have the tigers spirit inside of you." Kai told him.

"I guess?" the Red Ranger shrugged.

"Why don't you demorph and talk to me face to face?" Kai finally asked, wanting to talk to the person behind the helmet.

The Red Ranger hesitated before finally obliging. He pushed a button on his Morpher and his suit disappeared. There stood a man who was pretty tall. He had black short hair. He had brown eyes and a slightly invisible scar under his left eye, moving to his cheek. He had a black t-shirt with a red hoodie. On the left side of the hoodie was a design of a tiger. It looked like it was attacking something. On the right was the black outline of the face of a tiger and on the right side of the chest was a logo that looked like a hawk. The Animal Strike logo. On the back was his number, 1, styled like a tiger. On the upper back, covered by the hood of the jacket, was his nickname, "Furious Tiger". On the lower back we're the words "Fury of the Tiger". He had dark blue jeans and black and white Vans. He had black fingerless gloves. His Morpher had turned to a wristband on his left arm.

He moved over to where Kai was now standing, taking a seat on one of the chairs with wheels. He spun around a few times before facing Kai and Mick again.

"That's better." Kai stated.

"Now, is there any other information you have?" Mick asked with curiosity.

Just then a robot came in running. He was a robot capable of moving easily. He had a humanoid figure. He was red and white and had gold on his chest. His eyes were blue and he had silver coloring around his eyes. The robot was clearly running with huge information.

"What is it Redbot?" Mick asked the stressed out robot.

"The other Animal Spirits, the ones in the tubes, they are reacting to something." Redbot had said to the group.

Kai was the first one to walk out of the room and go to the next room. This other room looked similar to the first one. It had some differences like the middle containing tubes with spirit like figures, floating in the tube. The walls were filled with more weapons and with containers holding the batteries similar to the one the Red Ranger had used to bring out his weapon.

Mick had followed him along with the Red Ranger. They looked at the tubes and began to think about what was happening.

Kai turned to the Red Ranger, "Saul!" The unnamed man looked up to face Kai.

"I know," Saul stated with an annoyed look and tone, "I've made up my mind. We don't need them."

"But.." Kai was cut off.

"I said that I don't need them!" Saul had exclaimed.

With that, Saul left the room leaving Kai and Mick alone with Redbot. Before Mick knew it, Kai had hit the button on the side.

"What are you doing?" Mick had asked with a shakey voice.

"I'm doing what's right!" Kai had exclaimed with a look of anger on his face.

With that, the spirit figures were dispensed to the bottom of the machine and were shot out into the world, looking for hosts. Looking for Rangers.

Kai backed away from the table and disappeared in a tornado of flames. Mick stood there wondering where this was going. He would be lying if he said he wasn't curious about what new adventures awaited. Ever since he came back to Earth, he never thought of helping another team of rangers, until he was found and contacted by Kai.

Mick quickly walked out of the room and immediately began working on the computer in the next room. Schematics appeared all over the screen. Zord schematics and weapon schematics.

Redbot looked at Mick and realized that it was going to be a long night ahead of them. He moved to Micks side and began aiding him in whatever he needed.

The sun was bright. It was a nice day. These days didn't come all to often. The city was bustling with the noise of construction going on and all the freeway traffic. People walking across the plaza and people at the park were all doing some sort of activity.

Kids were enjoying the afternoon. School was out and they were all enjoying their day before night came signaling that it was time for bed and another schoolday would start tomorrow. The kids didn't care about later, they cared about now. They raced around the park playing tag or hide-and-seek.

Teenagers were also about, traveling to their destinations. Many were meeting up with their friends in the park and others were just passing by.

The day was so beautiful. It hid the fact that there was a monster attack recently. Many people feared another one. Others hoped that someone would stop them. All they could do was wait and see what the day had to offer.

"Great!" A young teenage girl exclaimed, "Where am I going to sit?"

"Alicia!" The girl spun around to see a boy coming towards her.

The boy was her age. He had short black hair with the sides of his head faded. He wore a black t-shirt and had on a pair of grey shorts. He had on some white Vans. His eyes were brown but looked to be black in the sun.

"Oh, hi Marco." Alicia greeted the boy who came up to her.

"Hi Alicia," Marco said, "you look like you don't know where you are going."

Alicia did have on a face of a confused person. She wore a light blue striped shirt. She had on a pair of blue jeans. She also had a pair of black and white Converse. Her hair was down going onto her shoulders and surrounding her ears. Her eyes were a brown color. Her confused expression changed to a happy one.

"Cmon." Alicia said, motioning to Marco towards a bench where a couple that was sitting there left.

She sat down quickly and sighed of relief. Marco sat down next to her. They both sat in silence for about a minute before Alicia said something.

"So" she began, "What brings you to the park?"

Alicia's question took Marco by surprise, he had completely forgotten why he came to the park because of his other thoughts crashing into each other. His thoughts about cars really got to him as they were shooting all over in his brain. He finally receieved the answer in his head.

"I was fixing up somebody's car." Marco replied, relaxing on the bench.

"Really?" Alicia asked in surprise, "Who called you to help with their car?"

"I intern at a car mechanic shop and they asked me to come and check out this car that had stopped working all of a sudden." Marco pulled out a bottle of water from the bag he was carrying. The bag was also filled with his tools.

"Oh that's cool." Alicia stated also grabbing her own water bottle and taking a drink.

"Yea, it really is. It turns out that the car just needed a new battery. The person who was driving it just didn't know what the light flashing on his dashboard meant." Marco took another sip of his water.

"Well I guess I'm that kind of person. Whenever the lights on the dashboard of my parents car go off, I don't know what they mean." Alicia said, a little embarrassed.

Marco chuckled, "Anyway, getting away from that, what are you doing at the park?"

"I just came out her to study. I like doing homework outdoors. I just put in my earbuds and focus on my work until I'm done." Alicia said as she pulled out her science notebook.

Marco looked over to Alicia. It had been awhile since he was in school. Not even a while. It was just a couple months ago. His class had graduated and him and his friends celebrated through the night. He just decided that working was the best place for him. Soon enough he wouldn't be an intern anymore and would actually get paid for doing the thing he loved.

Just then, Marco could hear someone yelling his name. He turned to see another boy, running towards him. The boy had thick wavy short black hair. His eyes looked black but were probably only brown. He wore his white windbreaker with a black t-shirt underneath. He wore black jeans and white Vans.

As he arrived, he was out of breath. He was trying to spit out his words but he couldn't find them. He finally did and got up quickly looking at Marco straight in the eyes.

"Marco," The boy began, "Can I borrow your..."

Before he could finish, Marco cut him off. Marco knew exactly what the boy wanted and he wasn't going to give him the yes.

"Eduardo!" Marco exclaimed, making Alicia look up and over at the two, "I already said no!"

"But Marco." Eduardo put on his fake sad face, the one he used when he really wanted something.

"No!" Marco said with a stern tone.

"Fine!" Eduardo exclaimed with pure frustration before realizing that Alicia was there.

"Same old Eduardo, huh?" Alicia said laughing as she said it.

"I guess." Eduardo put on his smile. The same smile he always had. It would never change.

"Well, you are welcome to join us if you want." Alicia motioned to the bench where her and Marco were sitting.

Eduardo happily took the seat in the middle. He looked at the two before opening his mouth again.

"Ok guys, let's talk about what we have all been up to lately." Eduardo said with a semi devious smile.

The other two turned to look at him in confusion. Eduardo, without noticing this began with his story.

"Well so far everything's been all right.."

A boy stood in his place at the pier. He looked over to see the ocean. The sea breeze was coming in nice. The wind blew on his face. He looked back behind him and saw all the people on the pier.

He walked away from the railing of the pier and walked in between people. He was looking for something. He was looking for a place to stand. He had his camera around his neck. He finally found a clearing and made his way for it. He saw a set of stairs and climbed them. He was now at the perfect angle. He could see everyone and they could see him.

He wore a Warriors basketball hat. He had on a white t-shirt with a black jacket over it. Some of his dirty blonde hair was coming out. He had greenish brown eyes. He wore dark blue jeans and his white Adidas shoes. He has a watch on his right wrist. He didn't usually put it there but he was in a rush in the morning.

He pulled his camera up and zoomed into the people. He began to snap shots of different faces. Each person had a different emotion within them and it was being expressed on their face.

He looked at all the photos he took. He was pretty happy with the pictures he took. Just then, his phone rang.

He took the phone out of his pocket and answered the call, "Yo?"

"Mikey, you done yet or what?" The voice on the phone asked the man standing at the piers railing again.

"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up to you later." With that, Mikey hung the call up.

He turned to see the people again. He looked over at the beach and saw more people. A smile appeared on his face as he prepared his camera.

"Time for some more shots." Mikey said with a big grin on his face.

The boy had just walked into his room with a plate of food and a can of soda. He sat down at his desk and pulled out his phone. He put on a video and began to eat his burger happily. He grabbed the fries and happily ate.

When he finished, he took his dirty dish to the kitchen and his can to the recycling bag and retreated to his room. He turned on his PlayStation. He began playing his game with his friends.

"Anthony!" One of his friends yelled into their mic making the boy pull the headset away before putting it back on.

"What?" the boy, Anthony, asked with a annoyed tone.

"Get the guys in that house over there." Anthony groaned loud enough for his whole party to hear.

After a while of playing games, he got ready to go out. It was three o'clock and he was going to hang with some of his friends. He put on a black plain t-shirt, black jeans and black and white Vans. He wore his hair the usual style he always did, brushed to the side and spiked up a little.

He walked out of the apartment and got into his friends car. He lived with Mikey, since Mikey lived alone now and Anthony wanted to move out of his house while he was still in high school. As they drove off, he took out his phone and began going through social media while listening to his friends conversation.

When they got to their destination, the boys got out of the car and made their way into the spectrum center. They were going to buy a new game that was realeased and they all planned on getting it at the same time. Anthony was excited for this new game.

She paced back and forth through her room. She was waiting for a response from her friend.

"Cmon, Lily, just tell me" the girl could wait no longer.

"Why?" Lily asked her friend with a concerned tone. Lily wore a nice white blouse with black jeans and white shoes. Her hair was made into a ponytail.

"I have to know what he thinks," the girl said, "I can't have him thinking that I'm his girlfriend."

"Fine, but I have to tell you tomorrow." Lily said, standing up.

"Why?!" The girls mouth created a frown.

"Because he just told me that he can't talk right now and I want him to be able to talk to us so that you can hear what he has to say." Lily said making her way for the door. The two made their way to the front door.

"Ok but promise me you will tell me." the girl pleaded with the other one.

"I promise Cynthia, now stop worrying over it and let's go." Lily said.

Cynthia nodded as she grabbed her wallet and left with her friend. She was wearing her pink shirt with a black hoodie on. She had blue jeans and black and white Vans. He hair was coming down over her shoulders. Her eyes were brown and they somehow shined in the sun.

"Now that that's over with.." Lily began too soon.

"Do you think Ryan likes me?" Cynthia could only ask looking up into the sky with a look of curiosity, "or maybe Luke likes me?"

Lily could only slap the palm of her hand against her forehead. Cynthia has never been like this but since the rumors of her being with multiple guys were spreading, she couldn't help but wonder which boy actually liked her.

"Kai!!" Saul's angry voice boomed through the command center.

Mick was in the Megazord bay working on improvements on the current Zords but he could still hear Sauls voice. Redbot could also hear it while working on the laptop that Mick brought with him.

"Kai!!" Saul yelled again until the Master appeared in his casual way of entering the room, a ball of flames.

"What is it Saul?" Kai asked him in a quiet tone, already knowing what Saul wanted.

"Why did you release the animal spirits?" Saul could only hold back so much anger, his face was getting a little red.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Kai said, crossing his arms looking Saul straight in the face.

"You know what I'm talking about! Don't act stupid!" Saul told him, anger slipping out of him.

"I had to," Kai began, "You need a team whether you like it or not. Axis is not someone that should be taken lightly."

Saul sat down on the chair near him. He put his face into the palms of his hands.

"You better be right about this, or I'm kicking your ass!" Saul said to him bitterly.

Just then, the alarm in the command center went off. Mick got back as fast as he could and sat down on the chair in front of the computer. He checked to see what it was and his thoughts were right.

"We got a monster attack." Mick said turning to Saul.

"The others still haven't been found, so it's still up to you." Kai told him.

"I know," Saul said back, putting on his hoodie, "Where's the monster?"

"Beast Park." Mick stated.

"Geez, who comes up with these names." Saul said, a small smile appeared on his face. He laughed at his own joke.

Saul quickly moved to the teleporter on the wall. It opened and Saul stepped in.

He was teleported to Beast Park. He moved behind some bushes to get a view of the monsters but to also keep his identity as a ranger secret.

He peeked over the bush and could see the people running and screaming. He tried to find the monster but he could only see the Ravagers.

"Yup they are here." Saul said and without a second thought he moved from his spot and moved forward.

"So, you guys just happen to be at the park at the same time?" Eduardo asked the question to both Marco and Alicia.

Marco turned and coughed while Alicia turned the other way and blushed a little bit.

"Yea that sounds about right." Marco finally answered his question after his somewhat big cough.

"Ok, well I think I better get going. I got other things to do today." Eduardo said as he got up from his seat.

"Like what?" Marco asked him with a serious voice.

"Like uhh..." Eduardo began thinking of an excuse.

"That's what I thought." Marco said to him.

"Man, you always know when I'm lying or not." Eduardo now put his hands behind his head.

"Because you make it obvious sometimes." Alicia stunned both the guys. Eduardo almost fell over.

"Woah, that's a low blow, Alicia." Eduardo stated as he held hand to his side.

"That was surprising." Marco said turning to look at Eduardo who was clearly holding onto his side for no reason.

"Well, it's true," Alicia began, "I'm kinda of an observer, so I can tell what a person is like after knowing them for a while. Eduardo has always been like that."

Eduardo fell down onto his butt. He looked down in a depressing way.

"It's ok buddy, we all knew this." Marco said trying to hold back the laughter that had somehow found itself coming out.

Just then, a woman's scream filled the air. The teens all stood up and looked over to where the screams were coming from. When they saw the direction, they moved towards it without even knowing it. It was when they arrived that they stopped dead in their tracks.

"Monster!" Eduardo blurted out.

"Huh, what did you call me!" The monster looked over at the three teens.

"You are a monster." Marco stated the obvious.

"How dare you!" the monsters hatred grew as he glared at the humans standing in front of him.

"Well, you are one, and a gross one at that." Alicia stated as she turned away from the hideous monster.

"That's it, I'll teach you a lesson for calling me a monster," The monster then snapped his fingers, "Ravagers! Get out here!"

With the snap of the monsters fingers, more monsters arose from the ground. Others came from out of no where. They now surrounded the teens.

"My names Clashzoid, and don't you forget it!" The monster stated his name with an angry voice.

"What kind of a name is that, it sounds stupid." Alicia said out loud enough for the monster to hear.

"What the!" the monster almost fell over, "How can such a pretty girl say that about me." He turned around and looked at the ground in a depressed way before he turned around a yelled, Get them all!"

The Ravagers began to make their move towards the teens. As they got closer, they were blasted back by red laser like bullets.

"What the?" Clashzoid looked around but didn't see anything.

Back with Saul, he was now hiding behind a tree. He looked over again to see that the monster was still looking for him. Quickly Saul pushed the center of his wrist band.

His Animal Strike Morpher appeared on his left wrist. It resembled a bakugan launcher. It was red with tiger symbols around it. It has a place in which the Beast Battery goes into. Saul grabbed his Tiger Beast Battery and inserted it into the launcher. A hologram of the ranger suit appeared over the Morpher. He then pushed in his morph code.

#001

"Animal Strike," Saul began, "Spirit Unleashed"

Saul pressed the GO button on the Morpher and launched his animal spirit out of the Morpher.

The morphing sequence begins. In a separate world, Saul now stands in the middle of the jungle. A tiger appeared in front of him. The Tiger then charged at Saul becoming an animal spirit. He jumped and with slashes coming down at Saul, his suit is formed when the tiger goes through his body. He lands back on the ground. The tigers head then spins around Saul and passes through Saul's head before backing up into his face and making the ranger helmet which surrounds his head.

"Red Animal Strike Ranger! Ready!" Saul stood in front of the Tiger Zord as it roared and he made a fighting fist position, all in front of a red backdrop.

The red ranger moved quickly into plain sight, shooting Clashzoid straight in the chest, sending the monster flying back.

"Well well well, you have returned huh?" Clashzoid told the red ranger as he got back up, "Ravagers, get him!"

The minions began to attack the red ranger. The red ranger, without a word, grabbed his Strike Saber and began slashing at the monsters. They all came at him at once and the teens standing off to the side could see everything that was going on.

"Who is that?" Alicia asked the two boys that were with her thinking that they knew the answer.

"Like I would know." Eduardo said sarcastically.

"It looks like a, Power Ranger." Marco told the other two.

"No way, can't be." Eduardo refused to believe but he didn't completely throw away the idea.

"It does look like one, don't you think?" Alicia asked both of them.

The red ranger continued battling the minions. He pulled his Strike Blaster and blasted more of them.

"That's it!" the bigger monster had gotten annoyed, "I'm taking you down!"

Clashzoid ran towards the red ranger, getting his saber arms ready to attack. The red ranger slashed the last remaining minion and he began his clash with the bigger monster. They traded blow after blow, sparks flying everywhere. Their sharp blades collided with each other.

"Just die already!" Clashzoid was fed up with the ranger and he prepared one of his fire slashes and sent it towards the ranger.

The red ranger grabbed his Strike Saber, which was on his left side, and was ready to slash back at the bigger slash coming at him. He stopped the slash in place, but only for a few seconds. He was then blown back as an explosion enveloped around him.

"No!!" The teens called as they witnessed the ranger being blown back.

"Now to finish what I started..." before the monster could finish he was thrown back by a huge wave of fire.

The teens turned to look where the wave had come from. There stood the red ranger with a different sword. He clearly pulled this out of somewhere, but where?

The red ranger began his rush towards the monster with his other sword. He clashed once again with the monster.

"Stay down already!" the Red ranger yelled at him.

"So you finally decide to talk huh?" Clashzoid prepared his next wave slash and threw it at the ranger.

"I'm not going down so easily, especially to a mere minion!" The Red ranger yelled at him.

"Minion?!" Clashzoid began, "Minion?! I am not a minion!!"

The monster began his final attack. The red ranger saw this coming and pushed the middle of his belt. The container that was acting as the buckle, opened. The red ranger pulled out a Beast Battery.

"Beast Battery! Ready!" As he said this, he prepared the battery. It was a final Strike Battery meant to be used in the Rangers personal weapons.

He quickly inserted the Beast Battery at the bottom of swords hilt. The gold engraving on the swords hilt glowed red as the red ranger held the sword with his two hands.

"Final Strike! Tiger Fury Fire Slash" the red ranger pushed down his sword and sent a wave of flames towards the monster. As the wave got closer, a figure popped out of the flame as it continued to move. The figure looked like a tiger beginning his attack on his prey.

The slash hit its target head on. A huge explosion occurred. Even though the slash hit head on, something seemed off. He looked up to see where his target stood. The smoke cleared and the red ranger along with the teens that had stuck around to watch, were shocked.

The Ravagers, about 7 of them, were standing there with a sort of electrical spark coming out of them. They fell and exploded once more.

"We'll meet again Red!" Clashzoid could be heard but not seen. "Next time I'll destroy you."

The red ranger grabbed his shoulder and gave himself a massage. He was clearly pissed off at the fact that Clashzoid got away. He was ready to walk away when a teenage girl walked right up to him. Marco and Eduardo were shocked and turned to see in between them. It was Alicia who left her spot to meet up with the red ranger.

"Thank You!" Alicia exclaimed to him, "You saved me and my friends."

Marco and Eduardo came to Alicia's side. The red ranger nodded towards them and turned around to leave. The teenagers stood there with confused looks. The red ranger was walking off and he didn't say a word to them.

"Well there goes Mr. too cool to talk." Eduardo tried to make a joke but it failed.

Alicia stared at the ranger as he walked away. Marco was also staring, not knowing what to think. The red ranger walked on until he was out of view. He was gone.

"What's up guys." Mikey had questioned his group of friends.

"You always have to take photos man?" The taller one of the group asked him.

"Guys, it's just something I like to do. Seriously." Mikey said this with a straight face but he ended up with a smile on his face.

The girl that stood next to him got closer to him. She held onto his arm and looked up into his face. Mikey could tell what his girlfriend, Stephanie was trying to do. The truth was, he didn't even know how they ended up together.

"Cmon, lets go have some fun." Stephanie had told him grabbing his hand.

Just then a group of people were running down to the end of the pier. More and more people kept coming.

"Yo, what's happening?" The taller one again asked for the whole group. He asked a passing fisherman as he was running by.

"There's a group of sharks! There's a lot of them!" the fisherman yelled back at them as he continued his run.

Mikey quickly let go of his girlfriends hand and quickly followed behind the older man. His group of friends followed behind him. They got to the end of the pier and were shocked to see shark fins all over the oceans surface.

People were in panic. Others were in pure shock but had curious faces on. Mikey tried to get a better view. Although he mostly did fashion photos and scenery photos, he wouldn't say no to shots of animals.

Mikey moves forward into the crowd disappearing from his friends view. He was now at the railing but he could feel the people behind him. They were pushing. Everyone wanted to see the sharks.

"Mikey" a low voice had called out to the boy standing at the piers railings.

Mikey turned to see who had called him, but no one was there.

"Mikey" the low voice, a little louder, called his name again.

He looked down at the animals in the ocean. He was surprised to see them mostly grouped up near his position. Mikey then came up with an idea.

"Good thing I sprung for the water proof phone." He pulled his phone out. He realized he left his camera back where his friends were sitting.

Mikey proceeded to move out of the crowd and walked over to a ladder that led down to a platform that was floating the the water. He stood on the platform carefully. He could see the sharks. He knew how dangerous it was so he took out his phone quickly and began to snap a few pics. Something he hadn't noticed was that there was a shark watching him.

The shark rushed towards the platform and hit it straight on. Mikey felt his balance go out of control. He fell into the water. He was now underwater staring at a shark right in the face. His eyes widened as the shark began moving towards him. Mikey began to swim ferociously. He felt his clothes dragging him down.

"MIKEY!!" The low voice was heard again by Mikey as the shark opened its mouth.

Mikey closed his eyes and awaited his fate. Crying on the inside he quietly said his goodbyes to this world. He opened his eyes to see what had happened. He was still alive. Without another thought he got out of the water. He was on the platform again. His wet baggy clothes dropped all over. His hat was still on the platform. He was still breathing heavily.

As he was about to get back up, a flow of blue energy went throughout his whole body. He was sitting there again, breathing heavily. He then noticed that his phone was destroyed by the water, but something that was bothering him more than that was the shark. Just as the shark was about to bite him, it turned into a blue spirited form of a shark.

Mikey climbed back onto the pier. He noticed that the other sharks were suddenly gone. He walked away and hid behind a pile of crates when he saw his friends. They were clearly looking for him but gave up on looking and calling. They were leaving. Mikey followed them, trying to keep his distance. He noticed that no one picked up his camera. He picked it up and thought about what good friends he had. He was kidding himself of course.

His friends had gotten into the taller ones car and drove off. He saw his girlfriend take one last glance back. She hoped he didn't fall and get eaten by a shark. Only half of that was true after all. When he was sure they were gone. He walked over to his own car. He owned a 1999 Nissian Skyline GT-R R34. He turned on the car and proceeded to drive away. He was still in shock with what had occurred. Blue energy still flowed within him.

Anthony stood in the open section of the spectrum. His friends found some girls they wanted to take out so they did. Anthony was the odd one out so he was just going to hang around the center by himself for a while.

He looked around at all the people that were around. He thought to himself that maybe in this crowd of people was a girl he could impress and then take out. He gave up on the idea, seeing all the girls around with their boyfriends.

He looked around more until something caught his attention. It was an attraction coming for a limited time to the spectrum. He wondered about it. He thought Why would the spectrum bring in an attraction involving a bull?

He got up from where he was at and walked over to the back of where the attraction was setting up. He was attracted to it for some reason. He walked up to a trailer where he could hear something.

"Anthony" a voice called out to him. Anthony was taken by surprise. There was no one around except for the bustling animal inside the trailer.

"ANTHONY!" Anthony almost fell backwards. He stared at the trailer. He wasn't sure what was happening. He was going to leave until the trailer burst open.

There stood an angry mammal. The bull snorted and stared at Anthony. Anthony was too in shock to move. Before he knew it, the bull began chasing him. He ran was fast as he could calling for help. He ended up running in circles as no one heard his calls for help. The huge animal charged at him. Anthony braces for impact but noticed that as the animal got closer, it was turning invisible. It started to look more like a ghost or spirit. It finally knocked Anthony back and he flew back a few inches before landing on his butt.

He looked up to see that he wasn't injured or dead and that the bull was no longer there. He suddenly felt the surge of power flow through him. A black surge flowed throughout his body. When it stopped, he sat there catching his breath. He noticed a few workers looking at the trailer ad wondering what happened.

"That was crazy!" Anthony whispered to himself.

He got up and walked away as quickly as possible. He tried his best as he moved swiftly through the crowded areas. He didnt even think about looking back. He walked on until he got to his old spot again and sat down where he sat before. He took out his phone and distracted himself.

Alicia had said goodbye to Marco and Eduardo. She was tired, especially after witnessing a monster attack with her own eyes. She was a little saddened that the Red Ranger didn't say anything to her when she thanked him but she let it go. She walked home and was hoping that she could find something to eat in her kitchen.

Alicia continued to walk and looked around at all the little kids still playing. She was glad that not all kids were stuck on their electronics all day. She smiled everytime she passed by someone. It was a sign of her politeness. She was always happy actually and was rarely ever sad or angry.

Marco offered her a ride home but she wanted to enjoy the rest of the beautiful afternoon. She walked on thinking to herself. She was thinking about what she would do tomorrow and the next day and the next day. This was when she came across something odd. There was an animal underneath a tree just laying there, sleeping. She wanted to continue walking on, but it was her curiosity that got the better of her.

She walked over to examine the animal. She had no idea what animal it was. It was only when she got closer, she realized that this animal wasn't a regular city animal. She looked at it, a cheetah, as it got up from its sleep, it's sleep disturbed by Alicia.

"Alicia" a woman's voice called out to her.

"Huh?" Alicia said out loud looking around herself.

"ALICIA!" Alicia jumped up at this sound. She was now very afraid.

It didn't help that the cheetah was moving closer to her. She felt fear flow within her. She felt as she should move but she couldn't move. It was when the cheetah jumped a little, that Alicia had begun to run. She had completely forgotten that the cheetah was the fastest land mammal on Earth and it caught up to her easily. It ran at her side before Alicia tripped on a curb. She looked towards the animal.

The cheetah came closer and it began to transform. It became a spirited form of a cheetah and opened its mouth. Alicia closed her eyes and closed them tight. When she opened them again, the cheetah was gone. It was nowhere to be found.

She felt a surge of power flow through her. A yellow surge of power flowed through your her body. When it stopped she sat there in disbelief and fear. She got up and went back to where she dropped her backpack. She picked it up and began to speed walk home.

"I shouldn't have taken that fifth coffee." Alicia stated as she walked away.

Cynthia sat on her bed, a frown on her face. She had just gotten off a face chat with her best friend who was in Mexico on vacation. They were talking about boys and that was when her best friend introduced Cynthia to the boy she was dating. After their talk, Cynthia got into her pajamas. She got into her bed and thought about why no boy had asked her out yet.

She had a couple of boys she liked but, none of them showed interest in her. She had friends who were boys who she always played around with, but she only saw them as friends. She tossed and turned in her bed just thinking about it.

She got up from her bed, not being able to sleep and she walked over to her window. She looked out at the star filled night. She had hoped that her future was filled with everything she dreamed of. A single tear ran down her cheek.

She remembered the words of her father, before he left for Mexico. Before the accident.

*flashback*

"Cynthia," the man in front of her, her father, began, "You are a beautiful girl and a lot of guys would be lucky to have you."

"Thank you, Dad" Cynthia had expressed her thanks and was blushing a little at the thought of guys from her school asking her out and telling her that she was beautiful.

"For that reason," her father began, putting his hands together, "I think it's time you find a boyfriend."

Cynthia was taken aback by what her father had just said. She looked at him in shock. He smiled as he began eating food from the plate in front of him. She looked over to her mother who was ignoring everything that was going on. Cynthia began to blush immediately, her cheeks as red as a rose.

"What do you mean." Cynthia asked, still in shock.

"I mean that i want to see you get a boyfriend." He said still eating his food.

"There's no way that's possible." Cynthia blushed again.

"It's just a dream then." Her father chuckled as he got up, put his dish in the sink and walked out of the room. Cynthia's mother was laughing a little too.

Cynthia sat in her seat, blushing. She began to think about what her father had just said. She wanted to know what that meant.

*flashback ends*

Cynthia's tears flowed down her cheeks. She wiped them off quickly and looked out at the night sky again. Her father had a dream of one day, seeing his daughter getting married. Seeing his daughter in front of the alter with a man she loved.

She began to think of boys from her school. If she found a good boyfriend then maybe her father's dream would come true. It was a thought that ran through her head over and over again.

She looked fascinated by the stars. All of a sudden, the night became a light show. She was a little confused and don't know what to think of the different lights. Her tears stopped and she stood there in confusion.

"Cynthia," a female voice called, Cynthia began looking around her room, freaked out a little.

"Hello?" Cynthia asked the voice calling out to her.

"Cynthia." The voice called again, this time making her open the window to see if she could see anyone outside.

The light got brighter. "CYNTHIA!!" the voice was louder and the light glowed more brightly nearly blinding the girl as she closed her eyes. And covered them with her hands.

She put down her hands and looked up to see... a rainbow? She was confused at the sight especially considering that it hadn't rained at all in the past weeks and also, it was 10 o' clock at night. She looked at it with curious but confused eyes. The rainbow shined brightly.

Cynthia's jaw dropped when she saw something else. Something emerged from the rainbow. It was more of a pinkish red color. It had wings and was flying through the sky. It was a huge bird. She looked at it, her mouth still opened. The huge bird was not just a bird, it was a phoenix.

The phoenix's wings were beautiful. There were a rainbow color. The shined brightly through the night sky. Cynthia looked to see if anyone else could see what was happening. There was no one else around. She turned back to the phoenix. The phoenix began flapping its wings as it began its decent. It found itself standing on a tree.

The phoenix stared at Cynthia. Cynthia was surprised that the creature could see her. The creature looked at her with curious eyes. It then made a sound. Cynthia giggles a little because it sounded like a sneeze. The animal looked at her with even more curious eyes.

The bird opened its wings an clapped them again. It automatically began to fly towards the bedroom window that Cynthia was looking out of. Cynthia saw this and her expression turned to fear. As she backed up the bird came in full power. Cynthia fell onto her bed while walking backwards and closed her eyes trying not to scream, hoping that it was a dream or something.

When nothing happened, she opened her eyes and nothing was there. All of a sudden, a surge of power flow through her. A pink surge of power flowed throughout her body. When it stopped, she looked down on her body. Nothing was wrong. She walked over to the window in hopes of seeing the phoenix. When she got to the window, nothing was there.

"What just happened?" Cynthia asked herself out loud.

She stood there trying to comprehend what just happened, but she could think of no logical explanation. She instead, walked back to her bed and got into the covers. She stayed staring at the ceiling. She stayed staring until she finally fell asleep, forgetting about everything that had just happened and her thoughts before all that happened.

"There," Mick said getting up from his seat, "The morphers are done."

"Good," Kai looked at the morphers, "So, including Saul's, there are a total of 20 morphers, right."

"Yup, but I have a question," Mick turned to face Kai, "Why are 20 rangers needed? I've never heard of a Ranger team with more then at least 10 rangers."

Kai looked at Mick with a worried face, "Well, that's because Axis is very different from other villains. He's ruthless. He kills anyone who stands in his way. I assembled 20 people with strong senses to join me in bonding with the animals. When we did so, we were able to defeat Axis, but I knew he would comeback. This time we have to make sure we destroy him."

Mick looked over to the table and then tilted his head down with a frown. He's heard before of the atrocities that Axis has done. Not only to Earth. He has apparently been to other planets, but earth always seemed to please him the most. He actually gained followers. Weak minded people would actually join him. People from the homeless to the war veterans with PTSD. Drug addicts to the adult entertainers. Anyone with a weak mind would follow him, but he would just experiment on them. He would just watch them. All for the sake to cure his curiosity.

Axis was a very powerful being. No one knows what he looks like except for the masters once upon a time. Thanks to using all their power to stop him the first time, they had lost a lot of their memory of what he looked like along with personal memories which came back slowly.

"I sense something." Kai said as his eyes went full on white.

Mick turned to him not knowing what was happening. Redbot entered the room and he stopped when he saw what Kai was doing. Kai was seeing other things suddenly. He could see something. Someone. He could see, his old friends.

*

~Spirit World~

"Kai? Kai is that you?" Kai could hear the voice of a woman. He knew who she was. She was the woman he fell in love with a long time ago, but sadly never got to marry due to Axis and some other being which he couldn't remember right now but he had a somewhat image of. Maybe he would come back with the rest of his memories.

"Kai!" He heard other voices. His friends. Kai smiles as he opened his eyes.

There he was. He was once again in the Spirit World. This was where him and his fellow warriors were sent after they stopped Axis and that other being, whoever he was. All Kai could remember was part of the beings name. Ryu. He shrugged it off. He was just too excited to be reunited with his friends again.

He saw them. He saw them standing around him, all with big smiles. Kai was suddenly in his "Spirit World" uniform, or so that's what Saul would call it. His friends were giving him warm smiles and were helping him up from the ground. Kai wore a black cloak which had red on the inside, clearly representing the red ranger, and he had a tiger symbol on his chest. The symbol was a tigers face and it was in the color red with some black. His hood was down. The cloak covered his whole body. Kai turned to the first one.

"Trench, it's been a while." Kai told him.

"Yes it has." the man, Trench, threw a punch, which Kai caught with his own hand.

Trench wore a black cloak similar to Kai's. The inside of his cloak was blue, representing the blue ranger. The symbol on his chest was of a shark. The symbol was a shark head which was blue in color with some black. He pulled his hood down and revealed a man with dirty blonde hair with a slightly big beard of the same color. He was handsome and looked like a Hollywood star.

Kai turned to the person next to Trench. The person removed his hood revealing another man with black hair and a face that seemed like it never aged. He looked like he was a comedian type sometimes. He wore a black cloak similar to the other two. The inside of his was black, representing the black ranger and making the cloak all black. He had a bull symbol on his chest. The symbol was a bulls face which was black but still visible.

"Well well, if it isn't card trick man over here. How are you Delta?" Kai asked trying to hide his laughter at the memory of Deltas card tricks.

"Ha Ha, real funny." Delta said sarcastically, meanwhile taking out a deck of cards and dropping them from one hand to the other before beginning to shuffle the deck. When he tried to shuffle the deck, one card slipped and messed everything up causing him to drop the cards. The others laughed at what had just happened.

Kai, still laughing a little turned to the next one. A woman pulled off the hood of the cloak. She had long black hair which was a little curly at the bottom. Her smile was a big one. She wore the black cloak like the others. The inside of the cloak was yellow, representing the yellow ranger. The symbol on the her chest was of a cheetah. The symbol was a cheetahs head which was yellow with some black.

"Kai, its been a long time." She hugged Kai. Her grip was strong and Kai could feel the his air slipping away.

"Yea, it has been. Speed, you breaking me." the woman, Speed, let go of him giggling a little.

Kai finally turned to the last one. The last persons hood was already down. She was beautiful. Her long brown hair went down to her shoulders. She looked like a model or a telenovela star. She was in tears, the tears going down her cheeks. She wore a black cloak like the others. The inside of the cloak was pink, representing the pink ranger. The symbol on her chest was of a phoenix. The symbol was a phoenix's head which was pink with some black and some rainbow coloring.

"Niji." Kai whispered her name.

"Hello Alpha." She saluted him while giggling and crying, but with a big smile.

Kai smiled, tears coming down his face. He looked at all of them. He couldn't be happier. He finally got to see them again.

"Chris." He told the one named Trench.

"Scott." He turned to Delta.

"Lisa." Speed giggled again.

"Selena." Kai turned to Niji again.

"You know we have to use code names in the field." Chris told him, laughing a little.

"I know, but this is the first time we are seeing each other in a long time." Kai said before he felt the full force of all of them tackling him down to the ground. They helped him back up and Selena quickly went up to him and with a big embrace awaiting, their lips met. The kiss was a passionate one. A kiss of two long lost lovers. The others stood looking. Chris and Lisa smiling while Scott made a gagging face and pointing his finger to the inside of his mouth indicating that he was fake vommiting. Chris punched him in his arm.

When they stopped kissing, they hugged each other, unwilling to let each other go. After a minute, the hug stopped and they all stood there staring at each other. That was when Kai finally noticed.

"Hey where are the others?" Kai questioned talking about the other fifteen masters.

"About that, we have news to tell you." Chris was the one to talk.

"Well what is it?" Kai asked with a slightly concerned face.

"We found them," Selena told him excitingly, "We found those capable... those who can become Power Rangers."

"No Way, really?" Kai was dumbfounded.

"Yea, but the only downside is.. well the reason the others aren't here.." Lisa found it hard to find the words to tell Kai as to why the other fellow masters weren't around.

"The other masters won't awaken until they find a person capable of holding the animal spirit they possess, thus making them a ranger." Scott finished what Lisa was trying to say.

"That's right!" Lisa exclaimed with a smile.

"So the other masters haven't found anyone yet, damn." Kai said with a disappointed face.

"Yup, it's disappointing." Selena said with a frown.

"But we found people capable of being rangers and holding our powers." Chris was the one who said this.

"That will have to do for now. Saul can't handle everything by himself. Axis is going to prove a tough opponent for them, but they will learn and they will be able to defeat Axis. They will be the next team of Power Rangers!" Kai exclaimed holding his fist up high.

The others held up their fists and yelled out "Right!"

"That reminds me," Kai took out four wristbands, "These will be the Rangers' morphers. Teach them how to use them and teach them how to use our power. Teach them the ways of us, masters. Also don't mention who the red ranger is, he wants to keep his identity a secret until he's ready."

The others nodded their heads and took the wristbands from Kai.

"See you guys later!" Kai told them with confidence. With that, Selena, followed by the others, gave Kai a big hug and they all dispersed into balls of light and left the Spirit World.

*

Mick stood in the room along with Redbot. They were waiting to see what had happened to Kai. Kai then suddenly awoke. Mick was taken aback by this and looked at Kai curiously.

"What happened?" Mick asked him with curious eyes.

Kai looked at him and with a big smile he held Micks head with his hands before giving him a big hug. "We found them. We found the ones who will become Power Rangers."

"Really?" Mick broke the hug and looked Kai straight in the face, "then I better go and finish some final touches on the weapons and zords."

"Yes, we need to do that right away." Redbot said with an excited voice while lifting up his hands.

"Oh and just to let you know, we have only found four. That makes red, blue, black, yellow, and pink accounted for. The others will come soon enough." Kai told Mick firmly.

"Makes sense. Even if there are supposed to be twenty rangers, it always starts off with at least 5." Mick signaled with his hand, showing all five of his fingers to indicate the number.

"Great, get to work I'll contact Saul." Kai turned and left the room.

Mick and Redbot looked at each other and were bursting with excitement. They had been preparing for this day and it was here. They immediately dispatched to the teleporters. They were going to teleport to the zord bay teleporters and start working on the zords first.

A monster walked through a corridor. This monster was Zaku, Axis' right hand man. He would do anything his master asks of him. He remembers his first meeting with him.

*flashback*

Zaku sat in a bar, a space bar to be precise. He was drinking his sorrows away. He was exiled from his planet when the rebellion had managed to win and defeat the empire of his planet. He was able to escape before the rebels got to him and shot himself into space. He sat in the escape pod for days before landing on a different planet. There he stole a spaceship and took off to space. He just decided to go to the bar because he wanted a drink.

That was when he came in. He was only a blacked figure. This, being, walked over to him and sat down next to him. He ordered his drink and turned to face Zaku.

"So, you were exiled from your planet too." The figure asked him, clearly with a smug face. After Zaku looked at him again, he was no longer a blackened figure. He was a tall man clearly and had looks that could kill. He had lucious black hair and had on a clearly fancy suit.

"Who are you?" Zaku asked the man sitting across from him, "Are you an earthling?" Zaku spit in the floor.

"That's none of your business. Besides aren't there tons of other planets with beings that look like me." the man said with a smug face.

"So then..." Zaku was cut off immediately.

"That doesn't matter. I came with a proposal." the man took a sip from his drink.

"What is it." Zaku took a sip of his own drink.

"If you help me destroy the earth, I'll give you anything you desire." the man said.

"Ha, you sure are funny pal." Zaku got up, "How can you do that." Zaku continued to laugh.

"With this," the man pulled out an object from his pants pocket. "This is the Infinity Star."

"Ha, you can do anything with that huh? That's ridiculous." Just then, a group of fellow aliens pulled out blasters and began demanding money from everyone in the bar.

The man sitting next to Zaku, without hesitation, blasted them with the Star, quickly destroying him. They were instantly vaporized and that was left was a pool of blue blood.

"Any further questions." The man said returning to his seat.

"Impressive. Then that means, you are my master now." Zaku said quickly getting into one knee and bowing his head.

"What the." the man got up. He signaled to someone. Out came another alien.

"Yes boss." The creature asked.

"What's wrong with him Byxis." the man told the alien.

"It looks like you saved his life, so I think that he thinks he has to serve you for the rest of his life. If I remember correctly, the people of his planet, those who aren't rebels, are very loyal people and serve anyone who saves them. They serve them until they die or their master does." Byxis quickly informed. There was a reason the man kept this guy around and it was because he knew everything.

"Hmm guess it sounds reasonable." the man said, "and if you are going to call me Master, then you might as well know my name. My name is Axis and this is Byxis."

"I am Zaku, my Master." Zaku answered Axis.

"Good now let's head on to earth, I have a base there. We will destroy the planet, starting with the blasted Animal Warriors and their pesky Power Rangers."

"Yes sir!" Zaku and Byxis answered together.

With that they left the bar. Course set for Earth and preparing for its destruction.

*flashback ends*

"Zaku?" Zaku looked up to see that it was Byxis calling him.

"What do you want?" Zaku answered angrily as he began to walk.

"You know, you remind me of someone I read about. Aww forget it, Zaku!!" Byxis yelled after him.

"What?!" Zaku asked again. They had made it to what seemed a throne room. In front of the room was a big window overlooking a run down jungle, but the building had the capability of going underwater.

"Clashzoid's upgrades are complete. Shall he move out now." Byxis asked.

"Yes, move out immediately." Axis answered him as he emerged, no longer in the smoke he covered himself in. He sat on the "throne" and looked at them. Ravagers appeared along with Clashzoid.

"I'm ready to move out Master." Clashzoid bowed thowards to the person sitting in the chair.

Axis was the same as he was when he first met Zaku. The truth was that they had spent almost three years in a temporal portal before being able to escape which explains why Zaku and Byxis already know each other well and act like themselves around each other as around Axis.

"Good. Go now. I sense them. I sense the Power Rangers!!" Axis got up and blasted the wall besides all of them making the building shake. The Infinity Star was what gave him such power.

"Right away." Clashzoid signaled to the Ravagers and they lived out along with him.

Zaku and Byxis stood quietly as they saw the monsters leave, with Byxis doing a little awkward goodbye wave towards them.

"I will not let the Power Rangers get in my way!" Axis said through his gritted teeth before returning to his quarters to rest.

Mikey stood in his garage, checking out his car to make sure that everything was running functionally. He checked the engine and the spark plugs. Mikey wore a black t-shirt and blue jeans along with his common pair of black and white Vans. He has a basketball hat, specifically the Golden State Warriors, on backwards.

"Man, not again. I'm going to need to find a better place to get spark plugs." He said as he closed the hood of his car, a little angrily.

"Hello there." Trench stood besides Mikey's car. He wore a plan blue t-shirt with a checked blue unbuttoned shirt on top of it. He had on black jeans and a blue and black pair of Vans shoes.

"What the fuck!" Mikey stepped back not holding himself back from cursing.

"Well well, what a mouth." Trench laughed a little.

"Who are you?" Mikey grabbed the nearby wrench to protect himself.

"No I think you have the Sabers." Trench chuckles a little thinking about the blue rangers weapon.

"Who are you? I won't ask a second time." Mikey held up the wrench towards Trench.

"Well maybe if you put that wrench down, I'll tell you." Trench looked at him, a serious look in his eyes.

Mikey did as he was asked. "Now who are you?" Mikey asked again.

"My name is Trench and I am here to recruit you into the Power Rangers." Trench looked at Mikey, Who had a confused face. Trench expected this.

"The Power Rangers. You serious?" Mikey asked lifting one eyebrow up.

"Yes I am." with this he threw the wristband he received from Kai towards Mikey.

Mikey caught it easily, "What is this? Well it's a wristband, but why are you giving it to me?"

"That's how you will fight evil kid. Trust me, your.." Trench stopped himself. He rembered what Kai has asked of him and the others, "teammates will receive one similar to this one. It's a morpher, go ahead press the middle of the wris band."

Mikey put it on his left wrist, a little skeptical as he did. When it was on, he pressed what seemed like a circle on the middle of the wristband. It instantly transformed into the Animal Strike morpher. It was similar to the red Rangers except that his was blue and had shark symbols around it. Mikey looked in total surprise. Suddenly a battery like object appeared in his other hand.

"What the? What's this?" Mikey asked in total shock.

"Like I said it's your morpher. And that other thing is a Beast Battery, it allows you to morph into your ranger suit." Trench told him.

Just then, an alarm beeped. Mikey turned all around to look for it. Trench pulled out his communicator on his wrist.

"What's that?" Mikey asked the question even though he probably knew the answer to it.

"It's a communicator," Trench answered someone who was calling out to him, "Yes, what's happening."

"Axis is beginning his attack," Kai's voice was on the other side of the phone, "Its time. Don't worry about teaching them anything. This came sooner than expected but we can do it. I'll teach them how to morph over the morphers communicator."

"Understood." Trench said and he hind up the call. "It's time kid. Go to the Beast City Square Plaza. It's right across from Beast Park. You gotta hurry, your teammates await." Trench moved over to Mikey, pushing him out of the garage before closing it himself.

"Wait, but I don't know anything about being a Power Ranger and I didn't even say that I would do it." Mikey pleaded as Trench moved him forward.

"No time. Alpha will teach you over coms." Trench pushed Mikey over to the entrance of the apartment complex parking lot.

"I can't do this. I'm just the photographer?" Mikey said in a way to try to get out of this but Trench wasn't buying it.

"Yes you can do this. If you couldn't, then the shark spirit would have never chosen you." Trench told him, putting his hands on both of Mikey's shoulders.

"Wait that shark that attacked me, was a spirit after all." Mikey said while figuring the whole thing out.

"Yes, it chose you because it finds something inside of you that is willing to help others. You are the Killer Shark, the Blue Animal Strike Ranger. Now go and fight. I'm sure we can talk about this all later but right now, people are being hurt as a result of this attack. Fight them and protect the people and the planet. I know it's sounds rushed, but we are kind of in a rush right now." Trench said to Mikey, trying to boost him up to the level of a Ranger.

"Ok, but you have to promise to explain all of this later." Mikey told him.

"Promise." Trench told him.

With that and a final nod from both of them, Mikey ran off. He was going to the plaza where he would begin his journey as a Power Ranger. His life as a Power Ranger. Where he would enter the legacy of the Power Rangers

Anthony woke up from his nap. He was still tired after being chased by a bull. He got up and put on a new shirt. He walked to the kitchen in the apartment, putting on his black t-shirt. He also had on his black basketball shorts and his black and white Vans. He took out some left over pizza from the fridge and heated it up. He sat in the living room, eating his pizza comfortably. He took a sip from his soda and burped right after.

He walked over to the kitchen and put down his plate in the sink and put his can off to the side. He was ready to turn around when he heard a noise. He quickly grabbed the knife that was laying on the cutting board that was left out. He turned around and held the knife up. He saw a man standing there.

"Woah woah woah!" Delta was standing there holding up his hands. He wore a black t-shirt, blue jeans and a pair of black and white Vans.

"Who are you, dude." Anthony said pointing the knife towards Delta.

"Ok I'll tell you, just put the knife down," Delta saw Anthony put it down, "Good, now how about a card trick."

"What?" Anthony looked at him in confusion.

"So my name is Delta," Delta began to shuffle his deck of cards, "I've been tasked to come and recruit you into the Power Rangers. You know, that team of warriors who fight to protect the world from evil. You have the spirit of the bull, at least I hope."

"Huh?" Anthony was still confused.

"You were attacked by a bull right?" Delta asked and when he looked up, Anthony's facial expression was the only answer he needed. Delta moved over to the fridge, took out the pizza and put it in the microwave to heat it up.

"How did you know that?" Anthony was stunned by how much this guy already knew.

"Here take this," Delta tossed a black wristband towards Anthony, "It's your morpher. You were chosen by the bulls spirit because it has seen something within you that is willing to save the world and stuff, you know. Go ahead, press the middle of the wristband."

Anthony did as he was told because he was curious. He pressed it and it transformed into the Animal Strike morpher. It was similar to the red rangers except that it was black with a bull symbol.

"You are the Raging Bull," Delta said as his communicator began to beep, "Hello, what is it."

"Delta, it's time. It's come sooner than expected, but you need to send in the black ranger to help the others. Send him to Beast City Square Plaza. I'll teach him how to morph, we'll explain everything afterwards." Kai told Delta all of this.

"Ok got it," Delta hung up and turned to see Anthony ready to head out.

"What? I heard everything you were talking about. I'm done for it. Better than doing nothing all day." Anthony told Delta.

"Great, well then, just know that the other thing in your hand is a Beast Battery. It helps you morph into the black ranger. Meet your teammates in the plaza. Alpha will teach you how to morph and we will explain everything later. Now go." Delta told Anthony as he grabbed the pizza that was just heated in the microwave during the whole conversation.

With that, Anthony headed out of the apartment as Delta sat down and began to eat. Anthony ran down the stairs and out of the complex. He saw Miley begin to run down the street, the same direction he needed to go. He thought about why Mikey was going there but he forgot about it and ran down the same way.

Alicia read the book and turned over to write any information down in her notebook. She was studying for her science college class. Her professor was hard enough on every student and she had other worries. She had to turn in an English essay and a History project in within the next three days. She also had a big math exam at the end of the week and it was killing her.

She got up to take a break. She wore a black shirt with a yellow see through jacket. She wore her blue jeans and her light blue converse with a little yellow on them. She pulled out the scrunchy that was holding her hair into a ponytail. Her hair fell to her shoulders and her face showed signs of stress.

She walked over to her bed and she let herself fall upon it. She met with one of her plushies and hugged it tight to keep her comfortable. She closed her eyes and tried to relax a bit. She opened her eyes again. She sighed as she remembered that she was looking for work. She got up from her bed and went over to pick up her phone. She had already gotten a couple of texts from her friends. She walked back to her bed and sat on it. She replied back to every text she got.

She felt like her head was going to explode. It turns out that she promised her friends that she would do things with them as well. So she planned everything out, but only found herself more stressed than before. She had to study, but she didn't want to let her friends down. Sometimes, she wished she could move fast. It would sure help her a lot.

"Stressed, huh?" Alicia was startled by the voice that was next to her. She got up in surprise and walked over to the other side of the room.

"Who are you and how..." Alicia was about to finish asking her question but she was cut off by the other persons hand going up into the air.

"I am Speed. I am an Animal Warrior sent her to recruit you into the Power Rangers. You were attacked by a cheetah earlier this week, right?" Speed waited for the response that she anticipated, and when she got it she began again. "You see, that cheetah was no ordinary cheetah. It was an Animal spirit sent to find someone pure of heart and someone with a warrior spirit to fight alongside others to stop an evil coming to this world. I know it is a lot to handle but here take this and get ready." Speed was wearing a black shirt with a yellow jacket over it, blue jeans and black converse.

Speed tossed the wristband over to Alicia. Alicia caught it and stared at it in awe. She was confused.

"You know I don't think my teammates, at least two of them, would say that you need to be pure of heart. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyways, we need to hurry, put it on." Speed lived up to her name. She was talking too fast, but luckily Alicia was able to catch every single word.

"Ok, but just to let you know I have a lot to study for and a lot to finish." Alicia slipped the wristband on. Why am I doing this? Why did I agree so fast and easily? It's the right thing to do right? Yes it is, that is why I'm putting it on fast. Alicia thought to herself.

"Hello," Alicia turned to see that Speed was talking into a communicator. "Yea I got her."

"Good, Trench and Delta have already been contacted. Send in the yellow ranger. Send her to Beast City Square Plaza ASAP." Kai's voice was heard through the communicator. "I'll teach them how to morph and all that stuff."

"Ok, roger that," Speed hung up and looked up at the curious girl who seemed as fast as herself. "Ok so clearly we went through this really fast. Press the center of the wristband please."

Alicia did so and the Animal Strike morpher appeared. It looked like the red rangers morpher but it was yellow and had cheetah symbols. Alicia looked at the Morpher in awe. She then looked at the other thing in her right hand. It was the Beast Battery.

"Ok so the thing on your left wrist is the Animal Strike Morpher and the thing you are holding in your right hand is a Beast Battery which helps you morph into a Power Ranger. Alpha, the Animal Warriors' leader, will teach you how to morph. I promise that we will answer any other questions you have later." Speed finished, taking really fast again.

"Ok," Alicia said, a spark in her eyes lighting up, "I'll go." Alicia was about to be a part of something great and she wouldn't just throw away the opportunity. She was ready to leave and looked over at speed one final time.

"I know it's all happening to fast, I'm sure everyone else thinks so to. Trust me, you guys are meant to save the world. Now go, we'll meet each other again, very soon." Speed gave Alicia a comforting smile. Alicia left her room. She left her house and began her way before she stopped.

"Wait, where am I going." She turned around just in time to see Speed looking out Alicia's bedroom window.

"Sorry, like I said, too fast. You are going to Beast City's Square Plaza." Speed yelled over at Alicia. Alicia nodded and turned around beginning her run towards the plaza.

Speed stayed at the window until Alicia was out of sight. She sighed a sigh of relief. She looked up at the sky and began to think of the new journey these new heroes would go on. It all brought back memories of her and her team fighting evil once upon a time. She was as happy as one can be.

Cynthia went through everything in her closet. She was trying to find something to where. She didn't like what she was currently wearing which was a pink and white shirt with blue jeans and her Vans. She wanted a different type of outfit.

"Why can't I find anything that looks good together." Cynthia was thinking out loud. She looked through the pile. After 15 more minutes of looking she finally made three new likes.

One pile contained mostly everyday clothes and pajamas along with some other stuff that may or may not be appropriate. She thought why she had that stuff but threw away the thought as quickly as it had come up. The second pile had clothes in it that looked decent and had clothes that were like every few weeks. She called it the maybe pile. The third pile contained some new clothes she bought while she was out with her friends and that all looked good.

She looked through all of them and again and finally let out a sigh in frustration. "Why can't I decide on what to wear."

"Decisions can sometimes be the hardest challenge in our lives." A voice told Cynthia.

"You are probably right. I should just pick something up and see if it's good enough." Cynthia began rummaging through her clothes again when she stopped and finally let her brain process the other voice that was just heard.

"No you aren't going crazy, I was the one talking to you." Cynthia turned to the balcony screen door and saw a woman on the other side. The woman was clearly beautiful. She was wearing a pink blouse with blue jeans and a pair of nice shoes with no brand name.

"Who are you?" Cynthia asked.

"My name is Niji, but you can call me by my real name, Selena. Niji is just a code name." Niji gave away her real name right away. She didn't like keeping secrets from others people unless it was absoulutely necessary.

"That's good to know, but how did you get up to my balcony?" Cynthia asked, still confused.

"Well, I climbed obviously." Niji said letting out a chuckle.

"Well, what do you want from me and why should I trust you? You are a complete stranger and you have made your way into my room." Cynthia said while Niji made her way through the room.

"Beautiful photo." Niji said as she picked up a photo of a younger Cynthia with her father.

"Hey, don't touch that!" Cynthia walked over and ripped the photo out of the other woman's hands.

"Ouch. Fresh wound, huh?" Niji's words stopped Cynthia in her tracks.

Cynthia put down the photo on her bed and turned to face the woman. When she did turn around, the woman was reaching out her hand. Cynthia looked at the woman then at the item in her hand. It was a wristband. Cynthia looked at it with confusion but with curiosity. This woman was giving her, a gift?

"Take it." Niji broke the awkward silence.

"What is it?" Cynthia asked Niji.

"Its a morpher. A Power Ranger morpher to be precise. You have been chosen to become a Power Ranger. The phoenix spirit chose you because of something inside of you that has yet to awaken. Something that is willing to fight for what is right. It will awaken soon enough and trust me, you will embrace it. You will be like the immortal phoenix flying through the sky." Niji looked at Cynthia and had hoped that she had gotten through to the young girl.

"Do you want me to be honest," Cynthia asked and Niji nodded, "I'm completely lost."

Niji rolled her eyes, "Seriously! Well you were chosen to be a Power Ranger, that's the point. You and your teammates will fight to save the world."

Cynthia glanced over at the photo on her bed. She sighed as she thought about what her father would say about her becoming a hero. She then found her answer. Her father would definitely tell her to do it. To help people all over the world. She turned back to Niji and took the wristbands she slid it onto her wrist and pressed the middle, where Niji was pointing. The Morpher appeared on her left wrist. It was like the red rangers but it was pink with Phoenix symbols.

"Wow, this is cool!" Cynthia admired the Morpher.

"Yes, and the other thing you have in your hand is the Beast Battery. That will help you morph into a Ranger. I believe it is time I explain everything." Just then her communicator went off. She picked up the call, "Hello?"

"Niji, it's time. It's come sooner than expected. Send the pink ranger to Beast City Square Plaza. I'll teach them how to morph and we'll explain everything else later." Kai told his lover as she patiently stood there listening.

"Understood," with that she hung up the call and turned to Cynthia, "Ok, so you need to head over to the plaza. Alpha, our leader, will teach you and your new teammates how to morph. Now go."

Without another thought, Cynthia picked up her black jacket as she put it on, she ran out of her room and her house. She had her destination in mind. Everything was still a little confusing to her but she managed to forget about it and continued to run.

"Saul! Saul! You got to understand that you can't fight Axis alone!" Kai yelled over at Saul who was going through the computers database and looking for a way to defeat Axis.

"I don't care! I said I didn't need them! I'm not working with people I don't trust!" Saul yelled right back at Kai.

"Well Saul, Kai isn't wrong. You do need help no matter from where it comes. I'm sure you don't want to die at the hands of Axis." Mick jumped in before Kai could open his mouth.

"Yea. You are probably right." Saul told Mick.

"Really?" Mick said putting on a face of confidence and delight.

"NO!" Saul yelled as he went back to his work.

"Saul, I already called them and they are on their way to the plaza." Kai told him.

"Fine, but if anything happens to them, that's on you Kai, not me. I refused to bring them in." Saul said as he got up from his chair and ran out of the room. "Oh and another thing, I'm not a team player." Saul stormed out.

"Do you think he'll be nice to the others?" Mick questioned even though he had an idea of what Kai would answer.

"No, but with time, he eventually will." Kai said as he got back to working on a plan of attack that the new rangers could use knowing that Saul wouldn't follow anything he says.

"Redbot?" Mick called out to his robot friend, "Are the systems ready?"

"Which systems are you referencing?" Redbot replied with a question.

"The camera systems. We need them in order to have eyes on the rangers battles." Mick told him.

"Well, you'll be glad to hear that those systems are online and functional. Also, the Megazord systems are almost done activating. Just a couple more things to download and it'll be ready to go." Redbot stated with a happy tone as he did one spin out of pure happiness.

"That's great to hear. You heard that Kai? Everything will soon be operational. Operation Power Rangers is a go. Wait, can we use Operation?" Mick said scratching his head.

"I think the database has recordings of another team that had Operation in their name." Redbot answered him.

"Yes there was a team with that name, but these new rangers will be known as the Power Rangers Animal Strike." Kai told both of them.

"Sounds cool to me!" Mick said.

"Me too!" Redbot said, enthusiastically.

With that, Mick immediately began work on finishing the Zords systems. Redbot began assisting him. Kai remained working on plans for the new rangers. He still had his concerns about what would happen. Will it be a successful day? He hoped so, for everyone's sake.

Saul was wearing his uniform. He had his tiger hoodie with a black t-shirt. He had black jeans and he had his regular pair of Vans. He wore his black fingerless gloves and his wristband remained on his left hand as always. He ran down a path through the forest, on his way to where the monster readings were. The location on his mind was the plaza.

On the other side of the city, Mikey ran down the street and unknowingly, behind him was Anthony. It was only until they were half way there that Mikey noticed Anthony. They waited at a crosswalk as cars zoomed by. Anthony was catching his breath.

"What are you doing out here?" Mikey asked Anthony.

"I've got something to do." Anthony answered him.

"You never have anything to do." Just then, Mikey noticed something on Anthony's wrist. He quickly pulled Anthony from his resting position and looked at the wristband. It was similar to his own that he had just received.

"What? What are you looking at?" Anthony asked. Mikey proceeded to pull up his arm and show Anthony's the wristband he had.

"What's That supposed to mean?" Anthony asked, very confused at what Mikey was doing.

"Did you recently get visited by a person who was sent to recruit you to be a part of the Power Rangers?" Anthony's confused face turned into a surprised one as he nodded, "I thought so. Well with that in mind, why do you think I showed you this?" Mikey pulled his arm up again, showing the wristband.

"Wait, let me think," Anthony put his hand to his head as Mikey slapped his forehead, "Oh! I got it! You were also recruited to be a Power Ranger, like me."

"Yup, glad you got it quickly." Mikey said sarcastically.

"So, What do we do?" Anthony asked.

"We go to the plaza. Let's see if it's true. Let's see if we actually become Power Rangers because if you want me to be honest, we were chosen and now we are being thrown right into battle, right away." Mikey began to walk over the crosswalk. The little white walking figure appeared and the cars had stopped.

Anthony proceeded to follow his cousin to the plaza. They had made it into Beast Park. They stood on a hill that overlooked the plaza. The looked for any signs of a monster. There weren't any. In fact, there weren't signs of life anywhere. Mikey then proceeded to turn around to see a girl in a yellow jacket running up to them, noticing the same wristband.

"Hey, you?" Mikey called out to the girl who had just noticed them.

"Yes?" Alicia responded.

"Were you sent here by someone too. Someone who said that you had to fight the forces of evil or something?" Mikey asked the girl who's name he hadn't known.

Alicia's facial expression was all the conformation Mikey needed. "So you guys were recruited too, huh?" Alicia asked, pulling up her arm, showing her wristband.

The two boys did the same. Then, another arm shot up in between them. They looked to the source of the arm and saw another girl, this one wearing a pink and white shirt. They each looked at each other and then at the wristbands.

"So you must be my teammates. Nice to meet you, my names Cynthia." Cynthia said with a perky mood.

"Hi, my name is Alicia. Pleasure to meet you all." Alicia smiled at the others.

"Name's Anthony. Nice to meet you guys." Anthony said trying to act like a bad boy which failed and managed to get a giggle out of the girls.

"I'm Mikey. Guess we have to work together. Nice to meet you." Mikey put his hand behind his head, "So that would leave one memeber. If I remember correctly, Power Rangers usually consist of 5 core members before another one shows up, right?"

The others shrugged. Suddenly, screams were finally heard. They all looked over to the group of people who were running out of the plaza. A monster appeared as he sent slash after slash towards the people.

"You guys ready?" A voice was heard. The boys turned in defensive poses while the girls held up their fists. "Sorry to startle you guys but we have to get started. My name is Alpha. I'm sure you've heard of me from the other masters."

"Yea we heard of you." Alicia said to him.

"Well, I know this will be weird to say, but I need you to go down there and confront the monster. Don't worry, as soon as you get down there, I'll teach you how to morph. Hurry!" Alpha, Kai, said to them.

The others looked up to see that Anthony was already running down the hill. Cynthia followed without a doubt leaving Mikey and Alicia behind. They looked at each other and then began to follow the other two.

"I'm having fun. Let's say I pick it up a bit." Clashzoid sent out more and more slashes as he laughed diabolically.

"Hey!" Mikey calles out to the monster.

"What the?" Clashzoid sounded confused.

"Stop what you are doing." Cynthia said to him with a serious expression.

"It's the monster that attacked the city yesterday." Alicia pointed out remembering the monster.

"You've seen this guy before?" Anthony questioned.

"Yea, he attacked people in the park yesterday. Then he surrounded me and my friends and tried to kill us. Until the Red Ranger showed up." Alicia told the others of what had happened the day before.

"Oh, so you do truly remember me. A fan I presume?" Clashzoid sounded cocky.

"Who would be a fan of you, you freak." Miley made the bold statement.

"How dare you. You are just a pitiful human and you should keep your trap shut." Clashzoid was now glaring at the group of young people.

Saul stood behind a tree, not to far from where everything was going on. He pushed the center of his wristband and his morpher appeared. He inserted his Beast Battery into the Morpher and the hologram of the suit came up again over his morpher. He punched in his morph code.

"Animal Strike! Spirit Unleashed!" Saul yelled while pushing the morph button and launching his animal spirit out of the morpher.

The morphing sequence begins. He was transported to the jungle. He looked around and saw the tiger coming at him. He jumped into the air and the red slashes began. His suit is formed when the tigers spirit goes through him as he lands on the ground. The tiger head spins around his head before passing through and backing up into his face forming his helmet.

There now stood the Red Ranger. He looked at himself to remind himself of what his suit looked like. The red suit had what looked to be black stripes all around it. His helmet had black eyes at the top with a black striped pattern on top and looked like a tiger opening its mouth. The visor black in color. The top of his boots were seen as they were gold while the heel of the boots were black. He had his belt which was also gold in color with the belt buckle, with the Animal Strike logo and his number, being a storage for the beast batteries lay in the middle. He had a tiger stylized 1 in the middle of his suit with a big tiger motif, a tigers head, went throughout the front of the suit. On the sides of his belt were holsters. To his right he had his Strike Blaster and to his left he had his Strike Saber. His Morpher was now in a rest state.

He nodded his head before heading off. He came out of his hiding spot to see that the others were now backing up. He was wondering why they weren't morphed yet.

"Hey! Kai! What's taking so long!" Saul asked him through his communicator.

"I was just waiting for the right time." Kai said as he turned his attention to the other four.

"Alpha?" Saul could hear Mikey talking, "What are we supposed to do!"

"Quick everyone push the center of your wristband. Like you were shown." Kai said and the group quickly complied and ended up confusing Clashzoid.

The morphers appeared as well as the Beast Batteries. They looked at the morpher again as if it was the first time they had seen them. The awaited further instruction as Clashzoid looked on, even more confused.

"Now pull back the section in the middle and insert the Beast Batteries." The group complied quickly and pulled back a little section that looked big enough to fit a better in. They inserted the battery object in their other hand into the morpher and pulled back the section into place. A hologram of their suits appeared and they all looked at it in surprise and were impressed. This somehow was real.

"Insert you morph codes, they are three digits. Then press the morph button and launch your spirits. Do it like you are throwing a punch. Oh and also you have to yell out "Animal Strike! Spirit Unleashed!" for it to work, got it." The young adults looked in confusion. They didn't know what to do until Mikey stepped up.

"If I'm right," he began, "The the number on my wristband is my morph code." He told everyone else. He proceeded and punched in the number.

#002

Anthony and the others followed Mikey and did the same.

#003

#004

#005

They then proceeded to push the GO! button as they assumed that this was the morph button. The then made a fist, pulled back their arm and punched the air.

"Animal Strike! Spirit Unleashed!" They all said in unison as they punched the air and their animal spirits are released.

The morphing sequence begins:

Mikey is transported into the bottom of the ocean. He opens his eyes to see a shark circling around. The shark begins it's charge at him, as it turns into a spirit, and he looked up and jumped. He jumped out of the water, blue slashes covering his body. The shark jumps out of the water enveloping his whole body as it goes through him. The suit is formed and Mikey lands on top of the water. The shark spirit spins around his head. It goes through his head before stopping and reversing, hitting his face and forming the helmet around Mikey's head.

"Blue Animal Strike Ranger! Ready!" the blue ranger yelled out. The Shark Zord was behind him as it moved around and Mikey made a position in which his right arm was sticking out while his left arm remained behind his back, all in front of a blue backdrop.

Anthony is transported into a bull fighting stadium. Although it isn't a bulls natural habitat, it is where bulls are most famously seen. Anthony spots the bull staring at him. Anthony begins to run away as the bull charges at him, changing into a spirit. Black slashes begin around Anthony's body and the bull, with one final jump, goes through Anthony, forming the suit. Anthony stops in the middle and looks down. The bull spirit begins to spin around his head and it goes through his head. Anthony looks up in time for the bull spirit to back up into his face, forming the helmet.

"Black Animal Strike Ranger! Ready!" the black ranger yelled out. The Bull Zord stood behind him as it blew air out of its nose and Anthony made a position in which both of his arms were sticking out and pointing forward, his hands made into fists making him look like a charging bull, all in front of a black backdrop.

Alicia is transported to the plains of Africa. As if it were her instincts, she began to run. The cheetah could be seen in the far distance. As the cheetah ran, it began its transformation into a yellow spirit. Yellow slashes engulf Alicia's body. The cheetah proceeds to go right through Alicia forming her suit. Alicia stops in place and looks up. The cheetah head goes around her head before going through her head and then backing up into her face, forming her helmet.

"Yellow Animal Strike Ranger! Ready!" the yellow ranger yelled out. The Cheetah Zord stood behind her as it roared and she made a position in which her right arms elbow stuck out while her right hand made a peace sign symbol in front of her face and her left hand lay at her side, all in front of a yellow backdrop.

Cynthia was in the sky. As she opened her eyes, her body began to freefall. To her surprise she had little fear but it still existed inside of her. The phoenix flys above her as it dives down following her. Pink slashes begin to engulf Cynthia's body. The phoenix begins its transformation into a pink spirit. It immediately goes through Cynthia's body forming her suit. She moves her body so that her feet are pointing down as she prepares to land. She lands on the ground, one knee and one hand on the ground and she looks up. She stands up and the phoenix head begins to circle her head. It proceeds to go through her head and back up into her face forming her helmet.

"Pink Animal Strike Ranger! Ready!" the pink ranger yelled out. The Phoenix Zord, with its wings out, stood behind her making its sound as she made a position in which she had her arms out and with one flap, making it look like a she had wings, she left her arms out, her left arm going up while her right arm went down in front of her body, all in front of a pink backdrop.

The morphing sequence ends.

The rangers now stood there admiring each other then themselves as they noticed that they really were Power Rangers. The suits fit them all perfectly and fit correctly in all the right places especially for the girls. Anthony had to stop himself from looking at the girls and their suits fit, but it was easy as he was still surprised to see himself. The girls also took notice in the fit of the suit as it was comfortable in all the right ways.

The Blue Ranger suit had black patterns that resembled a sharks teeth. His helmet, looking like a sharks head, had black eyes on the top at each side of the helmet, a fin at the top of the helmet with two smaller fins coming out near the bottom sides and it had markings resembling a sharks teeth. The visor looks like a sharks mouth when opened, black in color. The visor also had some teeth going around the inside, similar to the Wild Force blue ranger. His boots were also blue, with the heel being black and the collar of the boots being silver. He had a belt which was silver in color and the belt buckle in the middle with the Animal Strike logo and stylized 2 on it. His right holster had his Strike Blaster and his left holster had his Strike Saber. He had a shark stylized number 2 in the middle with a black shark motif going through the front of the suit surrounding the 2. The motif of a sharks head. The color of the suit being a dark blue, like other blue rangers.

The rangers looked at each other some more while Clashzoid was taken aback by what had just occurred. He looked at all of them in shock. He then tried to secretly escape while the rangers were looking at themselves.

"Where do you think that you are going?" Axis' voice could be heard through some sort of communication drone that flew around him.

"No where!" Clashzoid said nervously, " I was just going to get a group of Ravagers together. Ravagers!"

With a turn back towards the rangers, Clashzoid called out to the monster minions who served Axis. The distorted like human monsters revived from the ground and came up like zombies moving their arms up and down. They made noises like zombies too.

The rangers took notice and were spooked by these creatures. The creatures awaited the command of Clashzoid who had been standing behind them.

"Now! Attack them!" Clashzoid called out and the monsters obliged as they made an advancement forward with their axe-like weapons up in the air with their other arm down.

Clashzoid seemed to get comfortable as the Ravagers began their attack. Suddenly, the Ravagers leading the charge were blasted back by powerful red bullet lasers. Clashzoid was surprised again and he looked up to see the red ranger looking down from a building next to them.

The red ranger jumped down and landed in front of the other rangers who looked at him in awe. The red ranger looked back at the others and scanned each and every one of them. He would be lying if he said that the girls weren't pleasing to eyes. He stared at them a little linger then stared at the group as a whole. He turned back to the monsters.

"Let's go!" the red ranger yelled began to move.

"Wait!!" Micks voice could be heard through the communicator.

Red stopped and looked down at his communicator, "What is it?" He asked Mick.

"Do the roll call," Mick told him, "All of the Power Rangers in history have done it. You guys can't skip out."

"But we don't know how to do the roll call." the yellow ranger said to him.

"Don't worry. When you guys morphed, you were filled with information that has to do with your ablilities and powers. This includes all your roll calls and names of your weapons. I'll explain more later because a lot of this has to do with the Morphing Grid." Kai was the one to speak to them.

"The Morphing Grid?" Mikey asked with a puzzled look under his helmet.

"Like I said, I'll explain later, right now you guys have monsters to fight." Kai told them pointing out the situation they were in.

With that Red shrugged and nodded before bringing out his Strike Blaster and shooting the ground bringing up smoke to cover them.

"What the! Where did they go." Clashzoid moved forward and stood in between the group of Ravagers. He was shot from behind and looked back to see the rangers standing on top of the building behind them.

The rangers looked ready to fight and as Kai had said, all the information of their abilities, powers, names and phrases were all inserted into their brains.

"Let's do it!" Everyone, with the exception of Red, said in unison.

"With the Fury of the Tiger!" Red yelled, "Animal Strike Red Ranger!" Red posed by putting up his fists. Red smoke exploded from behind him.

"With the Surge of the Shark!" Blue yelled, "Animal Strike Blue Ranger!" Blue posed by lifting his right arm into the air and keeping his left hand behind him. Blue smoke exploded from behind him.

"With the Rage of a Bull!" Black yelled, "Animal Strike Black Ranger!" Black posed while putting up both his arms, making fists, and pointed them forward to represent a bull when charging. Black smoke exploded from behind him.

"With the Speed of a Cheetah!" Yellow yelled, "Animal Strike Yellow Ranger!" Yellow posed by putting her hand in front of her face making a peace sign and having her elbow pointed out. Yellow smoke exploded from behind her.

"With the Immortality of the Phoenix!" Pink yelled, "Animal Strike Pink Ranger!" Pink posed by putting her arms out and flapping them one time before leaving them out, the left lower down and the right higher up. Pink smoke exploded from behind her.

"With the Power of the Animal Spirits!" They all yelled in unison, "Power Rangers Animal Strike." The Red ranger stood in the middle putting his arm up while pointing into the air. Pink stood at his right and Yellow stood at his left, pointing the arms outwards. Black got on one knee to his right and Blue got on one knee to his left both also pointing out their arms outwards. The Animal Strike logo of the Hawk was behind them as it appeared then disappeared as they got back into their normal positions.

"Woah! That was awesome!" Black said as he almost jumped with excitement.

"Yea, it was. I'm so excited!" Pink could barely stop herself from jumping. Blue and Yellow both nodded.

"All right, I'm getting tired of this!" Clashzoid powered up his hands to make them light on fire. He proceeded to throw fire slashes towards them. They saw this coming and jumped off the building.

As they landed, the Ravagers got into position. The rangers also got in position as they all yelled, "GO!"

The rangers ran up to the foot-soldiers while the foot-soldiers ran up to them. The clashes in the middle as they began their fight. The Ravagers were fighting with their fists while the rangers also fought weaponless.

First up, the red ranger jumped up as his kicked one of the minions in the chest sending it flying back. He continued punching a few more and kicking a bunch of others. He ran over to where the fountain of the plaza was and continued to fight. He jumped up again kicking m a minion with his right leg sending the minion into the fountain. He continued to fight.

"Tiger Fury Fire Punch!" He called out as his fists were enveloped in fire. With a red backdrop, he made king fu moves with his fists. Back in the plaza, he punched more and more of the monsters setting them on fire. He pulled back his right arm and covered his right fist with his left hand as the Ravagers got into a line to attack. He let go of his fist and punched the first monster, which created a chain reaction of the others being hit. Red turned around posing with his fists as the monsters behind him exploded.

Next up, Blue fought a group of monsters who were attacking him. He proceeded to punch a few of them and kicked others with his right foot. He proceeded to hit other monsters with both of his fists at the same time. Blue jumped backwards and did a low sweep kick to all the monsters in front of him. He punched the others coming at him.

"Shark Surge!" Blue yelled as his fists enveloped in blue surges of energy and engulfed in water. With a blue backdrop, he punched out four times. He began a barrage of fist attacks against the monsters. He continued as he punched left and right. He finally punched a group coming at him together. He turned and posed as the monsters exploded behind him.

Black was punching monsters all around him. He ran off to the park with the monsters right behind them. He kicked two of them towards a couple of trees. He proceeded to jump up into a tree. He was able to hide from more monsters that were spawning. He jumped down and hit the ground hard with his fist. He created a shockwave that damaged the other monsters and sparks flew off of them. He looked up at another group of monsters coming at him. His fists began to glow black.

"Bull Charge!" With a black backdrop, he lift his fists into the air as his fists glowed black with a purple outline. He began his charge with his fists in front of him. He looked like a charging bull and hit the monsters head on. He turned around still holding his fists up as the monsters behind him exploded.

Yellow was running through the park with Ravagers following her all around. She finally came to a halt and, with a spin, punched all the monsters in the face. They all fell back with sparks flying off of them. She kicked a few others and then ran off again. She was fast. Almost as fast as a cheetah. She jumped into air, spin kicking other nearby monsters.

"Cheetah Speed Rush!" With a yellow backdrop, she punched the air with speed of almost 75 mph, with yellow energy around her hands. She punched a line of Ravagers coming at her. Launching them left and right with powerful punches. She turned with a spin and posed with a peace sign, her right leg going out while her left leg stayed in place. The monsters behind her exploded.

Pink rushed all over the place trying to not trip. She stopped as she was surrounded by Ravagers. She looked around at all the deformed monsters. She couldn't believe what she was looking at. She remembered all the defensive moves she was taught when she was younger. She punched two monsters to her right and did a spinning kick on another, hitting him right in the chest.

"Phoenix Fireblaze!" With a pink backdrop, she puts her hands in the air as they are engulfed in a rainbow fire. She punches the Ravagers as they come up from the ground. The fire spreads through the monsters bodies as they burn up. She jumps up into the air and comes down punching the ground as a fire outburst takes out the remaining monsters. She jumps over outside of the circle and poses as the monsters behind her explode.

The rangers regrouped in front of Clashzoid. They took out their Strike Sabers and four of them ran forward. Red stayed behind to study the others. These were going to be his teammates. He recognized each one of them. Blue and Black were his cousins, Yellow was someone he knew in high school, and Pink was his former crush. Pink was someone he liked but overtime he forgot about. Love was something of little interest to him now.

"Come at me!" Clashzoid yelled at the four charging him as he ran towards them.

"We will beat you!" Blue yelled as he clashed with the monster. Black jumped over to his left trying to slash him as Blue was sent flying back into the girls. The girls got up and charged with their swords.

Red continued studying their movements. He knew that most of these moves were just learned thanks to the power of the Morphing Grid. He had learned things like that as well. He saw how they ran and how they moved their swords. He finally decided that he would have to deal with it and he pulled up hi Strike Blaster. He inserted one of the red ranger Beast Batteries into the back of the Blaster. The blaster had a design similar to that of the Dino Charge rangers. The blaster looked like the animal that corresponded to the ranger that used it. It was colored white and red. Their was way to see what Beast Battery was inserted on the side.

Red then proceeded to aim. He was skilled at firing a weapon. He used his eye to calculate how he could blast the creature head on. Blue and Yellow were in the way but there was a small opening in between them. He took a little while more to study what was going on around his target. He then fired and as the blast came out it changed form into an attacking tiger.

The blast hit its target head on and sent Clashzoid flying back while also making the other Rangers fall down. Red looked up to see Clashzoid stand back up, smoke coming from his stomach. Clashzoid looked at the red ranger. He was clearly angered.

"Why you little!" before he finished, the red ranger blasted him three more times. He then proceeded to pull up his Strike Saber after putting the blaster back in its holster. The saber had a design similar to that of the Beast Morpher rangers. The handle looked like the animal that corresponded to the ranger who used it. It was also red and white with some black. He put the red ranger Beast Battery into the bottom of the sword.

"Tiger Slash!" The Red Ranger Moves the sword from right to left and sent a slash of fire which transformed into an attacking tiger as it hit Clashzoid.

Suddenly more Ravagers appeared and attacked the rangers except these were not just any regular Ravagers. They had their backs straight and they stood straight. Their faces looked more human instead of distorted and they had mechanical implants to stick out of their faces and even their bodies. Instead of axe like weapons, they had swords that also had the capability of changing into blasters.

Red took no time and pushed the middle of his belt. He pushed a couple of buttons on his Morpher before proceeding to push his belt buckle. It opened and he pulled out a Beast Battery. It was a weapon battery. He inserted it into his morpher and punched in a code.

#001

He then pushed the GO! button. The number in the middle glowed as a ball of red light came out. The Tiger Sword appeared. Red ran his fingers down the blade. He then put it over his shoulder as he proceeded to charge. The others looked at him in awe.

"That's cool!" Black called out.

"Yeah, that's amazing!" Pink also shared a similar though to Black.

Blue and Yellow remained looking. They began to think how they could do it to. That was when Kai came over the coms.

"Cool Huh?" Kai asked them, "You guys can also summon your personal weapons. Just push the weapon button on the morpher and use the codes you used the first time to morph. This should produce the Weapon Beasst Battery. Insert the battery into the Morpher like you did the first time with the morph battery and punch in your codes. Push go and fire out the light, like the red ranger, and your weapon should form."

The others looked at each other. They pushed the weapon button on the Morpher and input their codes respectively. They proceeded to push their belt buckle and it opened up. They pulled out their Weapon Beast Battery. They inserted it into their morphers and punched in their codes.

The rangers numbers began to glow. Balls of colored light shot out of the numbers. As the lights shot out they began to form figures. While this was happening, Red was slashing down what were known as T-Ravagers. He slashed them down as more kept coming along with the other Ravagers.

"Why... Do... You... Keep... Coming!" Red managed to let out as he held them back.

The others watched as their personal weapons were formed. The blue light formed two shapes. They formed into what looked like sabers. The blades were bigger from the front and curved from behind. When the light was gone, the Shark Sabers appeared. They had silver blades and their handles were blue and they had a golden circle engraving in the middle of the handles. The engraving was of a shark.

The black light formed a big shape. A single handle connected to a big block with two sharp blades coming out of both sides. When the light was gone, the Bull Axe appeared. The blades were silver colored. The handle and what held the blades together was black. In the middle was a golden circle engraving of a bull.

The yellow light formed two figures. There was two shapes with claws coming out of them. When the light was gone, the Cheetah Claws were revealed. The claws were silver covered and there was a base where you put your hands in. There were three claws on each base. There was a gold engraving on top of each claw base which was of a cheetah.

The pink light formed a tall figure. There was a tall stick like object which curved a little at each side. In between those curves was a string. When the light was gone, it revealed the Phoenix Bow. The base was pink with some white while the string was a silver color. There is a gold phoenix engraving on the front of the bows base.

Each ranger looked at the weapons as they took a hold of them. They looked with curiosity as they tried to study their weapons. It was at that moment that the red ranger landed at their feet. He got up and looked back at them over his shoulder.

"You guys going to fight or what?" he asked them, breathless.

"Yea, it's just..." Blue was cut off when red pointed his sword at him.

"Then fight!" He told them in a cold voice. He turned and ran back towards the monsters.

"I'm getting the feeling that he doesn't like us." Pink told the others.

"Yea, he sounds like he wants to do this on his own." Yellow agreed with her.

"Well he can't. You need to help him. What you guys will be facing is dangerous and only one person can't do it. Soon these monsters will spread to the entire planet and we will commit to protecting the earth as an organization. Red has had a tragic history and he needs you guys. He needs teammates. He needs..." Kai paused, "he needs friends" Kai told them all as the rangers looked at Red fighting the monsters.

"We got it." Black told Kai.

Kai looked up at his screen where he could see everything that was going on in the plaza and beyond. "We will help him!" Blue told him with confidence. Kai smiled and secretly said "thank you" to the rangers.

"Ready guys!" Blue asked all of them. They all got into ready positions. They looked on. This was going to be a chapter in their lives. A great one in fact. They were chosen to protect the world and they were going to do it.

"Ready!" They replied to blue with bigger enthusiasm. They all charged and began clashing with the monsters as the pushed them back. Red looked at them. He still couldn't believe that he had to work with these people. He charged also clashing with the monsters.

The blue ranger slashed multiple monsters with both of his sabers as he moved all over the place. He slashed two at a time while moving really fast. The black ranger pushed back a whole group and slashed the monsters behind him. He then slashed a whole group of them as he did a spin.

The yellow ranger slashed monsters left and right and then proceeded to pounce attacked a few other monsters. She turned and brought down her claws while forcing her body to go down. The pink ranger shot a bunch of other monsters. Every time she pulled the bow back, an arrow would appear out of thin air. She aimed and fired and kept firing a whole lot of them.

The red ranger kept fighting off a bunch of Ravagers that came at him. He slashed them all with ease. He was going to attack a few more but he was sent flying by a powerful slash. He looked up from where he was on the ground to see that Clashzoid had returned. He picked up his sword and ran towards him.

"I will kill you!" Red yelled at the monster as he began to run.

"Ha Ha! You are welcome to try!" Clashzoid also began to run towards him.

Red pulled out a Beast Battery and inserted it into his sword. The sword slowly began to light on fire. "Tiger Fury Fire Slash!" The swords fire became bigger.

"Power Slash Fury!" Clashzoid yelled as his hands glowed purple and a purple fire began.

The ran past each other, hitting each other other on the mark. They both stood opposite of each other with their backs facing each other. The both were panting and looked on. The other Rangers finished off their own opponents and looked towards where the red ranger and monster were standing. It seemed like time stopped.

There was no movement. Then, Clashzoid's body began to move a bit as purple lighting began to come out. He then proceeded to grunt before falling into his untimely death. The red ranger began to walk away as if nothing had hit him as Clashzoids body began to fall. A small explosion occurred followed by a bigger explosion. Bits of the surrounding buildings were chipped off. The rangers had won and the monster was dead.

The others cheered on. Although it was the red ranger who killed the monster, it was a win for them all as a group.

Elsewhere, Axis sat on his throne. He looked at the monitor. On it was the red ranger walking away from the destroyed monster. Axis sighed. Zaku stood on the floor in front of the steps leading to the throne. He kicked aside a piece of broken machinery that the Ravagers were fixing. Byxis stood a few feet away, disappointed that the monster he made didn't work.

Axis had a disappointing look on his face. He was no longer covered in the black smoke. He looked like the same man that had met Zaku a long time ago at the space bar. He would never think of revealing his identity to the rangers as long as they didn't threaten his life. Covering himself in smoke took a lot of energy and he always found himself tired. He pushed a button on his armrest.

"Are you going to do it already, Master?" Zaku asked, bowing his head.

"Byxis, your system is operational, correct." Axis ignored the question he was asked.

"Yes master." Byxis answered with pleasure, "All systems are fully operational. The big blaster will rise from the lake and then it will send a beam towards the city."

"Wonderful." Axis smiles a devious smile as he talked through a sort of communicator that was used when a button was pushed. "Fire the Destructor Beam!"

The monsters down below in a different level got the message. Even though Axis has a button that allows him to fire himself, he just didn't fell like it. The monsters obeyed their master and pushed a bigger button than the one on Axis' throne.

From the lake, emerged a tall steel tower. At the top was a blaster of some sorts that had a satellite at the end with bars that connected to to a big red ball. The blaster moved to point upwards and began to charge before finally blasting a beam into the air.

Back in the city, the red ranger walked past the others. The others were going to follow him but they saw a light coming their way. The red ranger looked back and turned around fully with shock. The beam came down onto the fire where Clashzoid once stood.

From the ashes, Clashzoid stood back up, screaming like a monster. A light came out of his body as he began to grow tearing down a building near him. The rangers looked surprised as the red ranger ran in between them.

"Mick! Are you seeing this!" Red called out to the mechanic.

Back at the command center, Mick looked at the same screens that Kai was looking at. He quickly sat down in front of a bigger computer that was in between the viewing screens.

"Ok, doing a final check," Mick typed furiously, "and that.. should.. do it. Ok, all Zord systems are up and fully operational. You can call upon them."

"Good!" Red said as he punched in a code. The belt buckle was pushed again and red took out a Zord Beast Battery. He inserted it into his Morpher and pressed the Zord button. He punched the Zord code and then his code.

He then pushed GO! and launched the Beast Battery into the sky.

Deep in Beast Jungle, the Beast Battery entered a dark void. In the dark void covered by trees and vines, a pair of green eyes lit up. A loud roar is heard all over the jungle. Birds flew away from the trees that they rested on. Other animals ran out of their hiding spots and many were climbing to get higher ground. A regular tiger stood on a cliff and roared. Another giant roar was heard as a huge mechanical tiger emerged from the dark void.

The Zord stopped and looked up in the air as it roared. It looked like any regular tiger. It was red in color and it's stripes were black. Other black markings could be seen on the top of its head. On its side it has a tiger stylized number 1 similar to the number that the red ranger had on his suit. The Beast Battery has grown and was steered into the Zords mouth and entered its body. The Zord proceeded to run off towards the city.

-0-0-0-0-

The red ranger awaited the response of his Zord. He finally could hear the roars as they grew louder. The other rangers could also hear this and looked up to see the Tiger Zord appear. Clashzoid also took notice in this. Te Zord proceeded to attack and it pounced on the monster. The Zord used bite attacks and scratch attacks. The Zord jumped backwards and roared again.

The red ranger nodded as he understood what the Zord was asking him to do. He jumped up into the air and landed on top of the Zord. He jumped into the Zord and entered the cockpit. His seat moved forward as he came up to the controls. In front of him was the Zords steering wheel. He inserted his Strike Saber into a unit that allowed for control of the Zord. On his right side was a control panel that let him insert codes. The cockpit lay in the head of the Zord and he could see everything in front of him.

"Zord," he inserted a code into the panel and prepared to drive the zord, "Ready!"

The Zord roared once again and it ran forward. Red stepped on the gas as the Zord attacked. Clashzoid tried attacking back and succeeded in getting a few slashes in making the Zord fly backwards.

"Damn you!" Clashzoid said as he ran forward, "I will win this battle!"

They clashed! Each one attacking each other sending each other flying back. The red ranger struggled on his own but was able to give a few more successful attacks. Fortunately for him, he's already used the Zord before so he knows how to drive it.

"He needs help!" Pink told the others as they all looked at the battle of the giants.

"You're right." Blue told her.

"Then proceed to call your Zords. Bring them out and help him battle. Power Rangers through all of history have used Zords for battles against giants. Just do what Red did." Kai told them through the communicators.

They nodded, pushed the Zord button and input a code into the Morpher. They pushed their belt buckle and it opened up. They pulled out their Zord Beast Battery. They quickly inserted it into their Morpher and input their codes again. They launched the Beast Batteries into the air and awaited their Zords.

The blue Beast Battery came towards the ocean and went down below. Deep in the Pacific ocean, in a cave, the Beast Battery entered and red eyes lit up. The Shark Zord came rushing out. The Beast Battery has grown and was inserted into the sharks mouth and ended up in the middle of the Zord. It is blue in color with a white underbelly. It had a sharp fin on top with its smaller fins on its side. It had a shark stylized number 2 on its side similar to the one on the blue rangers suit. It swam past groups of fish, pods of dolphins and whales. It swam by a huge group of sharks as it emerged out of the ocean, jumping out over a group of boats. It landed back on the water and swam towards the city, still on the surface.

The black Beast Battery went towards a forest. The battery entered a dark void covered by trees. Red eyes lit up in the void as the ground began shake. The Bull Zord came charging out causing birds to fly everywhere. The Beast Battery grew and entered its mouth and ended up in the middle of the Zord. The Zord was all black with its horns being silver. It has a bull stylized number 3 on its side similar to the one on the black rangers suit. It ran towards Beast City.

The yellow Beast Battery went towards the jungle. In a smaller void, red eyes lit up as the Beast Battery entered. The Cheetah Zord appeared, roaring, causing other animals to flee. The Beast Battery has grown and entered the Zords mouth and ended up in the middle of the Zord. The Zord was yellow with black spots. It has a cheetah stylized number 4 on its side similar to the one on the yellow rangers suit. It began its run towards Beast City, running as fast as a bullet train.

The pink Beast Battery went into the sky and headed straight to the mountains. In a cave, green eyes lit up. The Phoenix Zord emerged out of the cave and began to take flight. The Beast Battery grew and entered the Zords mouth and it now was inside the Zord. The Zords was pink with white around its wings and underbelly. It has a phoenix stylized number 5 on each of its wings. It began its flight to Beast City.

The rangers eagerly awaited their Zords. They looked up as the mechanical beasts arrived. They admired them and saw all of the designs.

"Shark Zord, huh? Cool!" Blue looked at his Zord as it made a joyful noise while meeting his new partner.

"Sup Bull Zord! Nice to meet you!" Black yelled towards his zord. The zord blew out steam from its nose.

"Cheetah Zord! Down here!" Yellow called out to her zord as it roared loudly.

"Hello Phoenix Zord! Pleasure to meet you!" Pink called out to her zord which had landed on the ground. The phoenix screeched in joy.

"Quick everyone! Get in the zords cockpits and insert your Strike Sabers. This will give you full control of the zords." Kai told them.

They quickly nodded and jumped up into the air landing on top of their respective zords. They hopped inside their cockpits. The seats moved up to bring them up to the controls. They inserted their Strike Sabers into a unit on their left. They proceeded to get ready to drive the zords as they saw everything from a different view.

"Alright! Let's move out!" Blue told the others as he pushed the forward pedal with his foot. The zord, which had transformed into Land Mode, moved forward and got into the nearest body of water before using a straightaway to attack.

The others followed and moved their zords forward. The Cheetah Zord pounced and attacked Clashzoid head on. The Phoenix Zord came in and attacked from above. The Bull Zord charged towards the monster as it clashed into the monsters side, piercing its side with its horns.

Clashzoid yelled out in pain as he fell down. The Tiger Zord moves forward and attacked the monster as he got up. As the Zords moved to attack again, they noticed something going on down below. A group of Ravagers began to come together. Another beam was shot and these Ravagers grew to their size. They immediately attacked the Zords.

The Zords fought back and took down as many as they could, but there were to many and the rangers were struggling. Red was ready to attack until his morpher communicator went off. He answered the call.

"Saul, you have to combine the Zords. You have to make the Megazord." Mick told him, talking on a private line.

"No! I refuse." Saul answered back.

"This is no time for that. You need to put your problems aside. This is the only way to destroy the monsters." Mick told him with a serious tone. Saul looked around at the others.

The Shark Zord jumped out of the water and was biting one of the gigantic Ravagers. The Bull Zord was pudding back a few other Ravagers. The Phoenix and Cheetah Zords were fighting of Clashzoid. He knew that the only way to beat the monster is to form the Megazord, but he didn't know if the others were ready for what was to come. He didn't have time to debate with himself.

"Systems ready?" Saul asked Mick.

"All systems are good to go." Mick responded to him.

Saul punched in a code on his Morpher and pushed his belt buckle. It opened and he pulled out a Beast Battery. The picture it had looked to be of a big robot. It was the Megazord Beast Battery. He inserted the battery into the control panel and pushed the Megazord button and inserted the Megazord code followed by the other Zord codes.

"Quick, everyone bring your Zords towards the Tiger Zord!" Red yelled at his team. In order for the Megazord to form, the other Zords needed to come towards him. He already activated the Megazord mode and the Zords would help form the Megazord because of the codes he inserted.

The others quickly moved their Zords and began to move towards the Tiger Zord. Red hit the gas and the Zord moved as fast as it could towards the others, it's tail moving in the air. Clashzoid took this chance and shot at them.

"There's no way I'm letting you do that!" He teles as he continued his attacks.

"Oh no you don't!" Black hit Clashzoid from behind as he was making his way towards the others. He learned how to control the Zord pretty easily.

Red pressed the Megazord button one last time and the transformation began. The Tiger Zord jumped into the air as its limbs came back towards its body. The Shark Zord and Phoenix Zords came in towards the top of the Zord as it attached to what would be the Zords front legs. The Shark Zord detached it's tail and it's front fins came into its body. The Phoenix Zords wings detached from its body and its legs came into its underbelly. The Zords attached to the tiger Zord and form arms as hands came out of their mouths.

The Bull Zord and Cheetah Zord came towards where the bottom legs of the Zord would be. The Bull Zords legs came into its body as its body came over its head. The Cheetah Zords legs came into its body as its body came over its head. They both attached to what would be the torso of the Megazord. The Phoenix Zords wings attacked to the back of the body. The Megazords head was then revealed as the tigers head spun around and went up revealing a face. The top half of the tigers head remained as a sort of helmet. Out of the Megazords chest, a huge tiger head came out and remained there. The Zord then posed as the Animal Strike logo appeared behind them on a black backdrop.

The rangers were ejected from their Zords cockpits and were taken to the Megazords cockpit. Their seats traveled throughout the Megazord as they all came into the bigger cockpit from the floor. In front of each ranger, remained a steering wheel and to their right, a control panel along with a compartment to insert Beast Batteries. The red ranger sat up front in the middle with the blue ranger sitting to his right side and the black ranger sitting to his left side. The yellow ranger sat behind the red and blue rangers and the pink ranger sat behind the red and black rangers. There they inserted their Strike Sabers into another compartment to their left.

"Animal Strike Megazord! Ready!" Red said as he made the Zord pose. The others were caught in awe. Everything was happening so quickly and they didn't mind at all. It was all so fascinating. Even Red looked around and was a little impressed at what they had formed.

"Looks like I'm going to have to pull out all the stops to kill you all!" Clashzoid yelled as he began to run towards the gigantic robo, all while charging his hands as they became the color orange.

As they clashed, the robo took a few steps back as it was hit straight on. The Megazord then moved forward and punched Clashzoid a few times sending him flying back. Buildings all around them exploded.

"Oh no!" Pink almost screamed.

"What's wrong?" Yellow asked her.

"The people in the buildings. They are all in danger. Who knows how many of them have already died." Pink put her face into her hands.

"Don't worry." Red said, a little annoyed.

"Why's that?" Blue asked him.

"All these buildings have emergency procedures. The Power Rangers have been around for years. They have finally developed a way to get people to safety fast." Red told them all, getting Pink to feel a little better.

"Really? That sounds great but where do they go?" Black asked Red.

"While the most used form of transportation to safety is an elevator, there are many ways to get people down into a bunker. They are safe there until the battle is over. Another way they get into there are new teleporters developed by using Morph X. It teleports them to the bunkers and then back to a safe place on the surface after the battle is over." Red informed them.

"That's all good to know." Blue said.

"Then shall we?" Yellow told them all as everyone, but Red, nodded.

They stepped on their gas pedals and the Zord began its movements towards the monster who was now getting back up. A few more punches sent sparks flying out as the monster screamed.

"Ok! Activate Tiger Sword!" Red input a code and it's lower back opened up. A small blade popped out of there as it grew into a bigger blade, a sword to be exact. It landed in the Megazords right hand and it began to attack again.

It stabbed the monster in the chest and on the third stab, the sword ended up lodged in the monsters chest. The monsters blood began to come out as the Megazord started running, lifting the monster up a little in the air.

"What the f..." Clashzoid was going to finish his sentence but was sent flying backwards.

"Language!" Pink yelled at him.

"What did you just say?" Red turned to face Pink, processing what Pink had said.

"What? It was the heat of the moment." Pink said, blushing inside her helmet. Black and Blue found it hard not to laugh a little and Yellow shook her head.

Red turned back around, "Final Attack!" Red began the final charge as the Megazord pulled its sword back.

"Oh no! I won't go down like this!" Clashzoid got back up and started charging up an attack.

"You won't have time for that!" Red yelled at him, "Animal Strike Megazord! Final Animal Fury Fire Strike!" The sword lit a fire of different colors.

The Megazord brought down its sword sending out a slash of different colors. The colors changed into the rangers animal spirits. The tiger struck first, followed by the shark, bull, cheetah and phoenix. The monster was thrown backwards, sparks flying off his body.

"Noooooo!!!!" Clashzoid yelled as he fell into his untimely death.

The Megazord turned around and posed with the sword going across its chest. Then a huge explosion behind them occurred. The explosion could be heard miles away. The rangers won. The monster was defeated. In the cockpit, the rangers couldn't help but celebrate. All except for the red ranger, who sat there feeling satisfied.

"We did it!" The others yelled as pink and yellow hugged each other and black and blue gave each other high fives.

Axis sat in his throne, unimpressed. He had the feeling that this monster would lose but he had hope considering that it was the rangers first battle. It turns out that the rangers systems have improved since he last faced them. At least the ones who held their powers before them.

"Master, I'm sorry." Byxis said as he bent down his head.

"You better be sorry. Next time, I want to go out there. There's no way that Byxis' monsters will be able to defeat the rangers." Zaku said while glaring at Byxis.

Suddenly, Axis got up causing Zaku to get on one knee and bow his head. Axis made his way over to a small bar off to the side. He opened a bottle of whiskey and poured some in a drinking glass. He took a sip.

"Just make more monsters and do everything to destroy the rangers." Axis said taking another few sips.

"But Master..." Zaku was cut off by a bottle of whiskey that was thrown past him. It hit the wall and broke into a million little pieces along with the liquid being dropped to the ground.

"I said make more monsters!" Axis yelled at the two, "and Zaku?"

"Yes Master." Zaku went on one knee again.

"Clean up that mess!" Axis walked off to his quarters, passing through a pair of automatic doors. As the doors closed, both monsters looked towards where their boss had left.

"Better get back to work." Byxis said cheerfully as he walked towards his lab.

Zaku stood there, still staring at the doors. He then walked over to the bar and took out a broom, sweep pan, and a mop in order to clean up the mess. He called over the Ravagers.

"Clean that mess up." Zaku yelled at them. The Ravagers almost fell over as they took the cleaning supplies and quickly moved over to the spill.

"These look cool!" Cynthia pointed out.

"Mick? Right?" Anthony asked.

"Yup, that's me." Mick said, full of cheer.

"Thanks for these." Mikey stated.

"And your name is?" Alicia asked the robot who was standing behind Mick.

"Oh! My names Redbot. Nice to meet you all." Redbot said to the rangers standing in front of him.

"Cool, we get a robot." Anthony said.

"Yes. A robot companion if you will." Redbot said.

"So, That makes you Alpha." Mikey said as he looked at the last person standing in the room.

"Yes that is me." Kai said and at that moment the other masters appeared.

"Hello everyone." Niji said happily.

"Looks like you guys did that a supersonic," Speed stopped for dramatic effect, "speed."

"You guys were impressive." Trench told them.

"Yea. More impressive than my card tricks." Delta tried to shuffle his cards but they all fell to the floor.

Everyone laughed. Red stood aside, a stone cold face under his helmet. Kai prepared his speech. After talking for a bit, everyone quieted down as they paid attention to Kai.

"It all started long ago..."

Earth was once peaceful, until he showed up.

People ran away, screaming. Fire rose from the destroyed buildings. People ran in all directions.

He stood on top of everyone. He attacked everyone who got in his way. His name...

A group of people were struck down. Some got up and others looked over their backs. A figure appeared. It was what seemed to be a man, but why did he have such power. Black energy surrounded him.

Axis

People ran everywhere. Leaders of countries met at the UN looking for a way to stop this threat. There was no way to stop him.

He was all powerful because of one artifact only. The Infinity Star.

In a dark room, Axis held up what seemed to be a bright star with an infinity symbol on it.

He used it to try to correct the world. Create a perfect world. But he yearned for something more. He saw humans and found out something for himself. The planet wasn't the problem. It was it's people. Axis wanted to perfect humanity. But he also wanted to sit back and see what happens to those he experiments on.

He used the star to transform his followers, those who also believed that humanity should be perfect. Many of them died due to these experiments. Others lived but ended up deformed. There was a certain group that lived to the potential and they stayed alive until Axis killed them for betraying him.

When he began to go overboard with his experiments, I had to interfere. I went undercover as one of his followers and saw horrible things. I used my spirit to destroy his lab.

Axis was on his knees as he yelled into the sky as his jungle lab burned down. It went into the river that it stood on.

I, along with the other 19 masters, tried to destroy Axis once and for all as he was a threat to humanity. We didn't even know if he was human. So many aliens have come, many of which looked human. We though we could destroy them and we used the powers of the animal spirits. We thought we had won, but then,

Axis stands and runs towards the group of masters. The Infinity Star glowed brightly.

We had to use up all of our powers to keep the star from exploding. When we awoke, were stuck in the spirit world. I immediately began to look for the star but it was no longer on Earth. And there was no sign of Axis. No dead body, no ashes of his, nothing. I then began my search for a new people to hold the powers of the animal spirits. That was when I found red.

Saul stood in a jungle. A thunderstorm overhead. He let the rain drop down his face as he looked at a random guy. Someone who came out of nowhere. After hearing his proposal, Saul hesitated, but accepted.

"And here we are. That's just the short story." Kai told the rangers who were interested in everything that was said. Anthony was falling asleep a little but he was able to pay attention. The masters stayed quiet, remembering all the devestating things that Axis did.

"So we are entrusted to protect the world from Axis. I'm in." Mikey said.

"Me too." Alicia smiled.

"Count me in." Anthony said, putting both his hand behind his head.

"Same here." Cynthia said.

"But, I thought you guys would need a bigger explanation." Trench told them.

"Well it's like Alpha said, most of that information was transferred when we first morphed. And plus, the Power Rangers protect the world from these kinds of things. We are so down to be Power Rangers, right guys?" Mikey asked the others. The others nodded with big smiles.

"Well that was easy." Speed whispered over to Delta.

"Yup, makes our jobs easier." Delta said with a small chuckle.

"One question." Cynthia practically raised her hand.

"What is it?" Kai looked at her.

"Why is he still morphed? Who is he?" Cynthia asked while pointing at Red who wasn't paying attention until now.

"He has told me that he's not ready for you guys to know who he is." Kai told them.

"So how are we supposed to trust him?" Anthony asked.

"Don't worry you can trust him. I choose him for a reason." Kai said, trying to get them to calm down.

"Can we?" Alicia was the one who asked.

Red stood straight and walked over to where the other rangers stood. He pointed to each of them saying, "Mikey, Anthony, Alicia, Cynthia!" He left them all stunned. He knew each of their names. They didn't even want to ask if he knew their last names.

"That's enough!" Kai said. Red looked over to him then back at Cynthia, who he was standing in front of.

He studied her body. It gave him flashbacks. He was very attracted to her because she reminded him of four other girls.

He looked at the others. He looked over at Mikey and Anthony. His cousins were getting defensive. He looked over one of his former classmates. Alicia stood in confusion. Saul's eyes were filled with some sort of energy. Kai took note of this.

He looked over at the masters who looked at him. Trench had a defensive look on his face. Delta and Speed didn't know what to do. Niji looked at him with serious eyes. Kai looked with serious but worried eyes. Mick and Redbot looked over from their workspace.

He proceeded to walk away and stopped by the teleporter. He turned to look at everyone in the room. He then punched in the name of a place into the teleporters panel behind him and he was gone in a instant.

The room was left tense and quiet for a couple more minutes before Delta broke the silence.

"So anyone want to see a card trick." Delta said shuffling his deck of cards.

"Anyways, time to explain the Morphing Grid." Kai continued, forgetting about what had just happened.

Red walked into an allyway. He looked both ways and up. He pushed a button on his Morpher and his suit was instantly gone. He took a deep breath and walked off thinking to himself.

"I can't believe I have to work with those guys!" He thought to himself.

He walked into the night as he saw the building receiving their repairs. He didn't know where to go but he didn't want to be in his room at the command center right now. He stoppped and looked at the starry sky. He went to go lay down in the park. He looked up at the starry sky. He then heard a noise. He looked to his side as he saw a tiger approaching.

He sat up as the tiger got near. The tiger stopped in front of him and growled a little. Saul then proceeded to pet it as it choose to lie down next to him. It purred as it felt Sauls touch. Saul continued looking at the starry night.

He thought about everything he has done so far and what lays ahead. He looked at his Morpher and toyed around with it. He thought about the Rangers. He probably made Cynthia feel uncomfortable. A part of him wanted to go back and apologize. Another part of him didn't care. He let the second one win.

He thought back to when he was a loner and how he hated the feeling of being alone when he was younger. Now, he wanted to be alone. He didn't need anyone. No one actually cared about him. He's doing this because it's right. Ever since he was young, he would see the Power Rangers as they fought to save the world. He always had hope and a dream that he too would be a ranger.

His dream was finally true, but he didn't like working with others. His past of dealing with peoples bullshit was what had stopped his ambition to work with others. He remembers everything that had happened to him way back when. He wants to keep his identity a secret from the others, because he's not sure if he can completely trust them yet.

Now it was time to wait. This was just the beginning. The beginning of a long chapter in his life. The tiger disappeared and Saul was now lying down again. He tried to fight it, but in the end, he fell asleep. The cold air didn't even bother him. He felt it travel through his body as he drifted off into his dreams.

Saul ran through the jungle with a tiger following him. He was panting as the tiger traveled through the trees. He almost tripped over the root of a tree but he found his balance. He continued to run.

It was all until he made it into a dead end. He turned to see the tiger getting near him. The tiger had red in its eyes. Saul let himself fall to the ground. He closed his eyes as tears ran down his cheeks. The tiger got closer transforming into a spirit. It opened its mouth and attacked Saul.

Saul opened his eyes. The tiger was gone. Suddenly, a red surge of energy went throughout his full body. He felt pain but it was gone. The red energy remained in his veins. He got up, still panting.

"Don't worry! You are alright!" Saul looked up to see a darkened figure.

"Who are you?" Saul asked with a confused voice.

The man came out of the trees shadows and revealed himself.

"A friend." The man said as he smiled.
