Chapter 8: Way of the Elephant
~3 weeks ago~
"Marco! Give me a hand over here." A man called the boy over. The short haired boy walked over to where a Nissian was.
"What's the problem?" Marco asked as he looked at the interior.
"Well, I can't seem to figure out what the problem is with the engine." The man said to his young worker.
"Got it. I need you to order a specific part. It's the only way to fix the engine." Marco walked over to the entrance into the waiting room. He went to the front desk and typed something into the computer.
"So where can I find the part?" The man asked.
"Well, since a car like that is likely to be used as a drift car, the nearest place where you can order one is Japan." Marco turned the screen so that the man could see.
"Nearest huh?" The man laughed.
"Yup." Marco nodded his head.
"Marco, I'm real glad that you will be taking over the garage. I mean today's my last day and you're just the man I needed to take over." The man gave the young man a pat on the back.
"I can't wait. I'll make this garage into one of the best on the planet." Marco smiled.
"Great to hear. Well I'm going to check on the other cars to help you out." The man walked back into the garage.
"Look at mister mechanic!" Marco turned to see two tall boys. He recognized them all instantly. One of them had black hair and wore a checkered shirt over a black t-shirt. He had blue jeans and converse. The other boy had blonde hair and wore a white t-shirt. He had discolored blue jeans and vans.
"You guys ready to help me here?" Marco went over to them and gave them a greeting.
"Yea, just waiting for you to take over." The blonde said.
"Well soon. Right now I need to finish some cars." Marco stretched as he returned to the door. He passed by the tv that was in the waiting room and heard something interesting.
"The Power Rangers were up to it again this afternoon. Here we have footage of the rangers fighting against a monster that appeared to be made of shapes. Citizens are advised to stay safe out there." The anchorman spoke in a clear voice.
"Man, it isn't safe out there anymore and it's those guys' faults. I can't drive my car in peace knowing that they can appear and just destroy it." The boy with the black hair sat on the chair.
"I got to get back to work." Marco entered the workshop. His friends stayed a while longer before leaving.
Marco continued working until he figured out the problem with a Honda's tire. He fixed the tire as his boss left. He handed Marco the keys to the garage and they said their goodbyes. The man left and Marco finished his work. He closed the garage doors and he walked into the waiting room again. He was about to turn off the tv, but he left on the news.
"The Power Rangers did it again and defeated the monster using their gigantic robot. The city is being told to be carful if damaged buildings. Once again, a thank you to the Power..." Marco turned off the tv and walked into the office. He picked up the box by the entrance and took out everything inside. He put them on the desk and decorated the office the way he wanted it. He looked through some papers on the desk.
It was paperwork. He may be young but owning a business meant that he had paperwork to do. He looked through applications of people that wanted to work at the garage. When he finished everything, it was time for him to go home. He closed shop and he walked over to his car. He tried turning it in but it wouldn't. He spent a little time trying to make it work but he felt the presence of something calling him. He closed his car and walked into the alleyway behind the shop.
When he found nothing, he turned to leave until he heard a car engine turn on. He turned to his right and saw a car turn on its front lights. He covered his eyes before lifting his arm up to see the car. The lights prevented him from seeing what type of car it was. He heard the engine begin to rev. He didn't know what was happening. The car continued to rev.
Marco took in a deep breath. That was the tires screeched. Marco's eyes widened and he began to run. He didn't dare look back. He didn't know why this car was chasing him. It took two minutes of running until the worst thing could happen. Marco was hit hard from behind. He rolled over the car, pain surging through his body until he hit the floor. His life flashed before his eyes. He was dead on impact. The car left the alley and didn't stop. Marco saw light. His soul began to travel from his body.
"Do you wish for a second chance?" Marco heard the question. In an instant, Marco found himself standing in a white room. In front of him appeared someone more muscular. He was taller. He wore a black robe with a huge symbol on his chest. The inside of the robe was green. The symbol on his chest was of an elephant. It was an elephants head with tusks. The color of the symbol was green and black.
"Who are you?" Marco asked as he stepped back.
"My name is Trunks. I'm here to give you a second chance. You will become something incredible." Trunks put his hands together.
"Second chance?" Marco asked.
"Will you do it?" The man said.
"Of course I want a second chance at life." Marco said.
"Great." Trunks snapped his fingers.
In a flash, Marco woke up in the alley. He wasn't bloody like he was before and he didn't feel pain. He stood up and stretched his arms out. He looked around with his mouth down. He was about to walk away until he heard something odd. The sound of an... elephant? Marco turned to see a huge elephant walking peacefully towards him.
"What the hell!" Marco said as he looked at the creature.
The elephant raised its trunk up and made its noise once more. The elephant caught sight of Marco and began to walk faster until it was charging at Marco. Marco rolled his eyes as he began to run. After a few steps, he tripped on a rock. The elephant came in for an attack and it hit the boy straight on. Marco closed his eyes. After a few seconds, Marco opened his eyes. He looked around and saw no trace of the elephant. That was when a surge of green power traveled throughout his body.
"You have risen as a new person. You will be the greatest ranger of them all!" Trunks yelled as green lightning flashed in the sky.
Marco got on his knees as he looked up into the night sky, green power surging through his eyes. Marco yelled before he collapsed. Trunks smiled as he crossed his arms. Marco could only fell the rain start pouring over him. He pulled out his arm and dialed a number. He let it ring before someone picked up the phone.
"Eddie, What do you do when you are attacked by an enormous animal?" Marco asked. A million thoughts running through his mind.

"So Steel, do you know who the red ranger really is?" Alicia asked, curiosity running through her mind.
"I do!" Steel was playing a video game on the computer.
"Will you tell us?" Everyone gathered around the silver robot.
"I," Steel paused as he finished killing a monster in the game, "will not."
"Ugh," everyone scattered, disappointment rising in the room.
"Guys, it's a secret and although I may be super cool and awesome, I can't go around telling other people's secrets to other people. You know what I mean?" Steel stood up as he walked to the main table.
"I guess you are right." Cynthia told the robot.
"Exactly. This is why I'm the best and you guys still have a ways to go." Steel sat on chair bd pulled up a holographic screen.
"So, where is Kai? I haven't seen him in a while." Anthony scratched his head as he looked around the room.
"He's been spending a lot of time in the spirit world. Who knows what could have happened." Mikey scrolled through his phone.
"Well, we have been doing great. No need to worry about that right now. The only thing I have to worry about is," Alicia paused as she pulled out a book from her bag, "Science."
"What are you doing this time?" Cynthia asked as she did her hair.
"Well we are supposed to study animals." Alicia had a worried look.
"Why the look. We are based off of animals, I'm sure you can study the Zords and get some answers or something." Mikey said as he put his phone down.
"You would think it's easy but I have to study them throughly." Alicia said.
"Eww." Anthony made a grossed out face.
"Not like that, you idiot." Alicia threw a small piece of paper, that was crumbled into a ball, at Anthony.
"Then how are you supposed to study them." Steel was the one to ask.
"Yes, I would be very interested to know." Redbot entered the room as he heard the conversation.
"I'm supposed to study their habits and all that kind of stuff. It's going to be hard since finding animals in the wild is difficult and dangerous." Alicia put her head down.
"Not for long." Mick entered the room holding a couple of folders in his hands.
"What do you mean?" Alicia asked politely.
"I've finally been approved. Apparently there is someone in this city that built their auto shop next to the Beast City Zoo. So I checked and it turns out that the shop lost a lot of business since the disappearence of their new owner. So I showed interest in purchasing it and I got it. The other thing is that the zoo was also doing badly but that's because the employees were horrible. So I checked into that and I bought a zoo." Mick out the folders on the desk.
"Huh?" Anthony's has dropped.
"Where did you get the money?" Mikey asked.
"Well that's a secret and I'll be able to tell you all later. Anyways I decided to take both properties and combine them. You are looking at the proud owner of Beast City Zoo and Mechanic Shop. It's a place where people can go and get their cars fixed and visit the zoo at the same time. And I've given you all jobs there." Mick dropped a bomb on them.
"We are going to work at the zoo?" Cynthia asked.
"Well I figured you guys needed jobs so the money we make from entry fees and other stuff I'm planning on doing, I can give you guys cash. Also, the zoo not only studies and keeps animals of today, it also has fossils and studies old creatures. And another thing, as part of getting the zoo I also got the aquarium that is connected to the zoo. I'm a new man." Mick jumped up happily.
"You have the time to run a mechanic shop, a zoo and repairs on the ranger weapons?" Anthony asked.
"I mean I've done it once but I was a teacher and not an owner. It shouldn't be too hard." Mick smiled.
"That's great. I get to study the animals after all." Alicia jumped up out of her chair, surprising Steel as she did.
"You sure are a jumpy one." Steel said as Mikey helped him up.
"So the zoo opens in a couple of weeks. I'll have your uniforms ready. And remember, it's Beast City Zoo so we have information on all Animals. I say this because Anthony's animal is a Bull. Which we will have one. Isn't Beast City wonderful." Mick smiled once again.
"That isn't enough time for Alicia's project though." Mikey stated.
"Actually I have a year to do it. I was the one who choose it so my professor gave me a year." Alicia sat back down.
"So why were you complaining.?" Anthony asked as he began playing a mobile game.
"I was complaining because I didn't have anywhere to study the animals properly. Why don't you listen." Alicia threw another paper ball at Anthony.
"I was listening." Anthony said as he continued playing.
"Also I need to take actual photos of the animal. So far my list includes Tiger, Shark, Bull, Cheetah, and Elephant. For Phoenix I replaced it with a Peacock since they have all sorts of colors. They are closely related if anything." Alicia stated as she wrote something in her notebook.
"These folders gave information on the zoo. All the animals, their names, what they eat. All that stuff. Go ahead and feel free to study them. Well I have some repairs to get to. Redbot let's go. Steel would you like to help?" Mick asked the silver robot.
"Sure, why not." Steel got up and followed Mick and Redbot.
"So this is all the information, huh?" Alicia picked up one of the folders.
"Beast City Zoo. The zoo where our Animal Spirits live in actual animals. Interesting." Everyone was caught off guard as Red appeared.
"You mean our animal spirits reside in the animals that are in these folders?" Alicia asked.
"Yes. The Beastials, the animal spirits, rest in actual animals that can appear to us whether they feel like it. Everything just got a bit more interesting." Red walked away and entered the same doors he always did.
"That was weird just like everything that was just said." Anthony said.
"Sure it was." Mikey said as he turned his phone on again.
"Sometimes I feel like this is all a story and I'll wake up at anytime now and judge the story and say how it's somewhat bad." Anthony said causing everyone to stare at him.
"You are a special kid aren't you?" Cynthia said as she got up and moved her things.
"What!" Anthony almost fell over.

~In the Spirit World~
"So, he returned?" Niji walked around in the circle that was surrounded by thrones of some kind. This was the Master Throne Room. It was where the masters would sit and discuss various issues about the world.
"His seat seems to confirm it. It glowed and the symbol is on it." Trench pointed out the symbol that was in the throne that lay next to the Pink Masters throne. It turns out that the masters had symbols on they chairs. These symbols disappeared when they were defeated. Kai had theorized that the symbols would come back when a new ranger is found.
"I sense him now." Kai sat on his chair. Niji proceeded to do the same. Delta and Speed already sat in their own chairs, afraid of what was coming.
"Can you smell... what I.. am.. cooking." A muscular man appeared in the middle of the room with green lightning.
"Trunks." Kai said the name of the big man who entered.
"Kai! It's been years." Trunks moved forward.
"Why do I sense like you have done something terrible?" Kai asked as he put his hands together.
"I'm the contrary, I've done something incredible. I found your sixth man." The huge man walked closer.
"You have?" Trench watched the man carefully.
"Of course. Did you have your doubts?" Trunks said as he smiled brightly.
"Yes." Delta spoke from his seat.
"Well, my guy will be moving out as soon as a new monster appears." Trunks moved over to his chair and sat down in it.
"Let's hope that he doesn't let us down." Kai said.
"Don't worry. He will blow you guys away." Trunks sat back in his chair.
"This better not backfire. You have a big ego and that tends to get in the way." Trench said to the man.
"Ah, Trench, still doing the same thing." Trunks said as he closed his eyes.
"We will see what happens, until then we just sit by and talk about the others." Kai said.
"Alright, let's begin." Trunks said.

"A group of Ravagers are moving through the city. I wonder what Axis has planned." Caste walked atop a rooftop. He looked over the edge and saw the mentioned monsters running through the park.
The Ravagers moved fast. When they got to a heavily populated area, the people scrambled. The Ravagers were ready to begin their attack. Caste pulled up his sniper and looked through the scope. He looked at the monsters as they attacked humans. Caste didn't know why but his finger was curled around the trigger. He was ready to shoot until he saw something interesting.
The Ravagers continued attacking until they were hit with a ball like object. They were also attacked by a drone like object that appeared. The drone attacked again, blasting the monsters back. The Ravagers prepared their weapons as they heard footsteps approaching. They looked towards what was coming. A figure appeared. He moved fast and didn't give them a chance to attack.
"What is that?" Caste asked himself as all he could see was a blur of green moving fast. He looked through his scope again and the monsters were all down and exploding. He looked around and saw nothing. He looked away from his scope and looked to see if he could find whatever it was that attacked the monsters. He was unsuccessful.
"A new threat, huh?" Caste growled.

"Master Axis, I have just received intel that our Ravager party was destroyed. They were sent out today to terrorize the humans but something got in their way." Zaku reported his findings to his master who sat in his throne.
"This is disappointing news. Byxis, is their anything that you have that will make me happy." Axis wasn't pleased. He was irritated.
"Yes. I have done something to test my new materials. I took DNA from the monster known as Biometric and created a monster similar to him. Using the human hosts you provided of course." Byxis reported.
"Human host?" Zaku was confused as to what Byxis was talking about.
"That's right, these monsters that have been appearing were for reaserch purposes. It looks like Byxis has taken one of my followers and turned them into a monster. They would do anything for me. They even go through my harsh experiments. Anyways, who is this new monster?" Axis has gotten up and walked around, crossing his arms as he did.
"Well, I used the hazardous abilities of our monster friend and mixed it with water. I have created this new monster. Zuclo!" Byxis called for the monster.
The monster entered the room. He had what seemed to be the face of a fish on his sides but his actual face looked like an octupus. He had red eyes that looked more like a visor and his arms looked like tentacles. Spikes were on his hands and arms. He was blue, black and purple in color. He also had spikes on his legs.
"Master Axis. I'm proud to be of service to you." The monster got closer to Axis as he bowed.
"Welcome aboard." Axis smiled deviously.
"I will do anything to please you and to get what I want." The monster, Zuclo, stated.
"Yes, do this and you will become the next biggest idol." Axis said.
"Idol?" Zaku whispered.
"Yes Zaku! My followers come from all over the place. And thanks to this switch, they can use monster forms. That is what Byxis has been working on. Byxis if you'd please." Axis commanded.
"Of course. This Zuclo, will allow you to transform into your monster form and your human form. That way you can blend in with the humans." This handed the monster a switch like object that looked like it could be a earbud case.
"Thank you." The monster grabbed the switch. He pushed the button on top and a black tornado surrounded him. When the tornado subsided, a boy stood in place of the monster.
Zaku was in complete awe. The boy was blond and looked Asian. He had black makeup surrounding his eyes and his skin was light and smooth. He wore a while shirt with a grey stripe and blue jeans along with white shoes.
"Zuclo is your name. It will be your name on your album, if you succeed." Axis sat on his throne.
"I will do whatever it takes master." The boy bowed.
"So you are using a wannabe singer idol for your plan. Interesting." Zaku spoke.
"Trust me Zaku. I'm better than you and I will prove it." The boy got up and smiled deviously. Zaku growled at the boy.
"This will be amazing." Axis laughed. Byxis looked away as Zaku's anger rose. The boy smiled.

"So what happened out here?" Mikey was talking with a person who was attacked by Ravagers.
"These monster things appeared and they attacked us." The man said.
"Anything else?" Mikey asked as Anthony wrote on his notepad.
"Just as they seemed like they were going to kill us, they were attacked. We were saved by a mysterious person. He used a drone to attack them. Also they were also hit by this spiky ball thing. It was truly amazing. He disappeared before we could thank him. Also, if it helps, he was green. That's all I could remember, I'm sorry." The man said.
"No it's ok, I think that's enough. Thank you." Mikey school the mans hand and allowed him to leave.
"Got everything." Anthony finished writing.
"You got all of that?" Mikey asked.
"Yup, my picture is finished. I drew a dinosaur." Anthony showed Mikey to which Mikey responded by rolling his eyes.
"You guys get anything?" Alicia and Cynthia finished talking with a woman and they met up with the boys.
"Something about a green guy saving them." Anthony responded as he continued to scribble.
"Same. It appears like their is a new hero in town." Cynthia stated.
"Well we can't say if he's friend or foe. We have to find him and talk to him." Alicia told them.
"Alicia?" The girl turned to see Marco.
"Marco?" Alicia looked at the boy as if it was the first time she saw him.
"Can we talk?" Marco asked.
"You guys go ahead. We'll go find some more information." Mikey said as he passed them.
"Bye guys." Cynthia waved as the group left.
"Bye Cynthia. Alicia I want to tell you something." Marco said.
"What is it?" Alicia moved a stand of hair from her eye and put it begin her ear.
"I think I'm dead." Marco said and left Alicia with a confused look.
After a few minutes, Alicia heard everything that had happened to Marco a few weeks ago. She didn't seem like she believed everything about how he was transported somewhere else but then again she was chosen by a cheetah to become a hero.
"Are you sure this all happened?" Alicia asked.
"I'm pretty sure. I mean I don't know." Marco felt frustration build up inside him.
"So you say that you are dead?" Alicia asked to confirm what the boy had told her.
"That's pretty much the point." Marco scratched the back of his head.
"Marco!" Both Alicia and Marco turned to see Eduardo coming.
"Eddie." Marco said.
"Dude, it's been weeks. I've been looking all over for you. You disappeared off the face of the earth after asking me a weird question." Eduardo gave a handshake to Marco.
"That's the thing dude. I asked you what to do if you are attacked by a giant animal but that's because," Marco stopped as he struggled to find words.
"Marco?" Eduardo shook him.
"Well how am I supposed to tell you that I died. Am I just supposed to say, 'What do you do when you die and come back to life?'." Marco let out his frustration.
"You what?" Eduardo couldn't believe what his friend told him.
"I died but I came back to life somehow. I came to ask Alicia if she could help but she doesn't have any answers." Marco said as he began to pace.
"I'll get to the bottom of this. We'll figure out what happened together." Alicia grabbed the boys arm to calm him down.
"Yea don't worry buddy, I'll be here to help to." Eduardo gave his friend a pat on the back.
"Thanks guys." Marco said to them as he sighed of relief.
On the other side of the park, the boy now know as Zuclo watched people go by. People were all stopping by to see a guitarist as he played music for everyone. The boy smiled deviously. This was his chance to prove himself to Axis. He pulled out his device and pushed the button. A black tornado covered him from top to bottom and when it subsided, a monster stood where the boy was. Zuclo proceeded to move on with his attack.
Alicia was the first to hear the screaming as she got up. She saw the people running away. She got up and looked for the culprit. Marco and Eduardo also looked around. That was when Alicia finally saw the culprit. She felt Marco grab her hand and pull her behind him as he ran alongside Eduardo. She felt like just breaking from his grip but she caught view of Mikey, Anthony and Cynthia as they ran towards the danger. She would join them later.
"I will please my master." The monster said as he sprayed water at people who were running away.
"Stop!" Mikey yelled as he and the two teens behind him morphed.
"A better way to show Master Axis that I have what it takes." Zuclo said as he charged at the Rangers. Red then appeared, hitting the monster first before he came close to the others.
"You aren't doing anything." Red said as he used his Strike Saber to attack the monster.
"Great, now if I'm correct, only one is missing." Zuclo began shooting water at the Rangers.
"Don't care!" Red moves his fingers across the blade and charged at the monster once more.
He clashed as the monster used its hands to deflect the attacks. Red continued even though he didn't get any attacks in. The monster then wrapped its arms around red and through him over to a tree. Blue and Black came in to attack only to mee two tentacles that caused them to trip. The monster then turned to face Pink but she was nowhere to be seen.
"I see what you are trying to do!" Pink attacked from above as she slashed the monster from the skies.
"You bitch!" The monster waited for pink to come and attack again. When she did, Zuclo used his tentacles and wrapped them around her body.
"Let go!" Pink struggled against the monster.
"Don't worry. When I go big, you'll be wanting me to never let you go." Zuclo laughed.
"What?!" Pink was left in confusion.
"Let her go ugly!" Yellow came in and attacked using her super speed.
"Another bitch!" The monster rolled on the ground.
"This guy doesn't seem so tough." Black prepared his saber.
"You think so? Ravagers!" Zuclo snapped as monsters appeared from the ground.
"Great, more practice dummies." Black gripped his sword. From the groups of Ravagers also appeared Guard Ravagers.
"You has to say something." Blue shook his head.
"What, they aren't that bad." Black said in his defense.
"Get your weapons ready." Red pulled out his Tiger Sword.
"Ha! You still can't stop me!" Zuclo charged at the Red Ranger. The others just watched. The Ravagers and Guards just looked at the battle, awaiting orders.
Red hit the monster with his sword, causing sparks to fly. The monster continued his punches and managed to land one on red. He heated up his hand and basically burned red. He then sent him flying towards the others. Zuclo then prepared for another attack. He began shooting water that steamed as it was shot. Blue jumped out of the way. Yellow used her speed while Pink flew off. Black was shot right on target and he fell back.
"Black!" Mikey yelled as he ran to where Black lay. Yellow and Pink also did the same.
"Ha! I've defeated two out of five. How about I just finish the job. Go my minions!" Zuclo pointed as the Ravagers obeyed.
The Ravagers moved forward and just as they got close to Red, who lay on the floor, someone blasted the Ravagers. Red looked in shock as the frontline of Ravagers were destroyed. Zuclo, also in shock, looked for where the blasts came from. The rangers also looked around.
"Over here!" Everyone looked towards one direction. In a flash, someone managed to jump over the rangers and he now stood over Red. Red couldn't believe his eyes. The other rangers had the same reaction.
The person who stood in front of them wore a ranger suit. His suit was green. His helmet had the resemblance of an elephant, with what seemed to be a trunk going half way through the visor. The visor was like an elephants mouth when open and it was black in color. There was a silver tusk on each side of the visor. The helmet had black eyes on top on each side. He had green boots with black heels and gold collars. He had what could be assumed as armor on his chest, gold in color and it went around his upper body. The armor went over where his number would be. The armor had a diamond that went down the middle. There were what seemed to be tusks that went on both sides of the diamond, going straight down at an angle, flat. On the diamond part of the armor was a number six, black in color and with the style of an elephant. That number was also under the armor. Although it could barely be seen, his suit had a motif of an elephant, an elephant head to be specific, that went throughout the suit. He had a golden belt. The belt buckle had the Animal Strike logo on it and his number. He did have sidearms like the other rangers with his right holster holding his Strike Blaster while his left holster held the Strike Saber. Next to his Strike Blaster was another holster the seemed to be carrying a dagger of some kind. His morpher was on his left arm but was somewhat different than the other rangers, looking more like a watch. His suit and helmet had black markings that looked like they represented an elephants tusks.
"Who the hell are you!" Zuclo asked the new ranger that stood in front of him.
The ranger gave no answer. Instead he pulled out his Strike Saber. He moved forward, slowly as to not make a wrong move.
"Oh, so you're a cool guy, huh?" Zuclo sent in Ravagers to attack.
The Ravagers moved in sync as they launched their attacks. The new Green Ranger threw his sword up into the sky and he punched the oncoming monsters. He had so much force that the monsters sparked as the ranger punched them. He kicked the Guards and beat them easily. This fact shocked the rangers as they saw this new ranger fight. When the ranger finished fighting, his sword came back down. He grabbed it and threw it with full force towards the monster.
The sword pierced through the monsters skin. The monster put his hands on his wound as the ranger charged, pulling out his dagger. When he got close, he slashed with the dagger creating visible cuts on the monsters skin. The ranger pulled out the blaster from his holster and pulled out a Beast Battery.
"Elephant!" The morphers voice was different than the morphers of the other rangers. It spoke in a more pop-like tone, pop as in music.
The Green Ranger's visor became smaller as his helmet changed. The trunk that was halfway down the visor now covered the middle of the visor fully. He aimed his blaster and he pulled the trigger four times. When nothing happened, the other rangers were confused. Zuclo took this chance and tried to attack. The ranger then pulled the trigger one more time, five blasts being launched at the visible wounds. The monster sparked as he fell backwards. He yelled as he fell. The Green Rangers helmet returned to normal. The monster got up and shook his head.
"I'll get you next time." A black cloud formed over the monster and he disappeared.
The Green Ranger then out his weapons back in place. He dusted off his armor and he turned around. Yellow and Pink came up to him quickly while Blue and Black walked behind him. Red just stood up and studied the new ranger.
"Who are you?" Yellow asked.
"Don't worry about that, I'll let you know at your base. My master thinks that will be appropriate. See ya." Green saluted with two fingers as he ran off and jumped into the sky. He disappeared within seconds.
"Let's go to base as fast as we can." Yellow said as she began running.
"Don't you guys think that his method of fighting was strange?" Blue asked, taking into thought that the Green Ranger didn't speak and his weapons seemed more powerful. What also gave him this question to ask was the fact that Green threw his weapon into the sky.
"His methods are dangerous. The way of the elephant. I've seen it once before. It can cause serious harm." Red had given his thoughts.
"Well it's something that we will have to get used to. Let's go." Yellow and Pink ran off.
"How much harm can it cause?" Blue turned to Red.
"Let's just say that it can kill if done improperly." Red crossed his arms.
"Well, we can't do anything about it now." Black spoke up.
"Your right. Let's just watch for now." Red began to walk.
"Have you noticed that he's talking to us more than he used to?" Blue asked Black who walked next to him.
"Yea. It's a good thing, isn't it?" Black put his hands behind his head.
"I guess but we still have to keep an eye on him." Blue said. They all walked off in silence.

"Ah! Look at these guys. Your teammates, huh?" Trunks had crossed his arms as he looked at the team in front of him. Everyone except for Red, as usual, was already demorphed. Green seemed shocked when they demorphed.
"I guess." Green answered.
"Well, let's see who you chose." Kai stood next to a Trunks.
"Go ahead." Trunks motioned for Green to demorph.
"Nice to meet you all." Green lifted his arm up and rotated the watch that was his morpher. When he rotated it once, he pushed it down. In a flash of green lightning, his suit was removed from top to bottom.
"No way!" Alicia had her mouth wide open. Cynthia also couldn't believe what she was seeing. Mikey and Anthony looked as if they didn't believe it. Red looked at the man as if he knew exactly who he was but wasn't sure because of one detail.
"Now I know he shouldn't do this but I thought, why not." Trunks smiled.
"Is this some sort of joke!" Red yelled. The man who demorphed had a mask on. His mask was like V's mask from the movie "V for Vendetta".
"It's funny isn't it." Trunks was laughing.
"Trunks, why do this?" Kai asked the large man.
"Because it's hilarious and you guys aren't ready to know who he is." Trunks returned to a serious face.
"You little piece of," Red was cut off by Kai, who out his hand up.
"Don't worry, you'll see more of him soon. Let's go." Trunks exited the base, the mysterious man following him.
"Well I need to go. I promised my friend that I'd meet him at the park." Alicia quickly exited the room.
"I have to go to the mall and meet up with my friends." Cynthia also walked off.
"I'm going to help Mick. I want to blow stuff up." Anthony went to the Zord bay teleporter and he was gone in an instant.
"I'll work on figuring out the style of this new ranger." Mikey sat in the chair in front of the computer.
"What about you?" Kai asked Red.
"I have something to do." Red walked off as he entered a teleporter. He was gone. Kai went to his personal console and pulled up a travel log. He looked for Red's destination. He saw the name of the country and that's all he needed.

"Marco, are you ok?" Alicia asked the boy who paced. They sat in the local pizza store.
"No, I feel," Marco couldn't find the words.
"Frustrated?" Alicia suggested the word.
"Yea. I don't know what to do." Marco finally sat down as Eduardo approached the table with a receipt in hand.
"Pizza will be ready in ten. So what's going on?" Eduardo sat down.
"I want to figure out what happened to me." Marco buried his face into the palms of his hands.
"So you died. But you are alive. You should be happy." Eduardo slapped his friends back.
"I know I should be happy but I want to know what happened. I'm still confused. No matter how many times he explains it to me, I can't understand." Marco slapped Eduardo in the back as payback.
"We will find the answer. I promise that I will do everything in my power to help you." Alicia grabbed Marco's hand and held it in hers. Marco looked up as he felt the warm hand. Eduardo squinted and looked at both of them.
"I'm going to use the restroom." Eduardo got up and walked over to the restroom.
"How awkward." Alicia took note in Eduardo's tone before noticing why he left. She let go of Marco's hand. Marco also noticed and didn't care but he liked Alicia's warm touch.
"Anyways, Alicia, what do you do in your free time?" Marco could only think of one thing. He knew her secret but he didn't want to say anything.
"I just study. I'm starting a job at a zoo soon, so that should be fun." Alicia moved a lock of her hair out of her face and put it behind her ear.
"Nice. Well, I hope I can get my auto shop back. I heard someone took over." Marco said. Alicia straightened up. Mick had taken over an auto shop that was abandoned.
"You has a shop?" Alicia asked to confirm.
"Yea but someone must have taken over. I've only been gone from the city for three weeks yet a lot of things has changed in my life." Marco started tapping his finger on the table.
"Well, I'm sure whoever did can offer you a job or something." Alicia held in the information that she had.
"I hope. Getting a job is better than not doing anything." Marco looked out the window. Alicia looked down at her hands. They sat there in silence for two minutes before Eduardo showed up with the pizza in hand.
"Pizza's ready." Eduardo said as he put it down.
"Did you wash your hands?" Marco asked him.
"Of course I did. Who do you think I am." Eduardo sat down in his seat next to Alicia.
"Let's dig in." Alicia said as they all grabbed a slice and began to eat.

Saul stood atop a building looking at a different building. The building seemed so similar yet he knew that he had never been there. Or has he? Saul ignored all the questions that entered his mind. He let the wind blow in his face, it brushed past his cheek. He felt his hair moving but he didn't adjust it. It was like fighting against a wild animal.
He looked down at a car waiting at the entrance of the building in front of the one he stood on. He was waiting for something. He then heard a growl and he turned around. Red energy was forming something in the middle of the building. From the energy, a tiger appeared. The tiger made its noise as Saul stared at it. The tiger seemed to be asking Saul something.
"It's not stalking. I mean, it's not like I'm a creep of a fan. It's just that this place calms me down and if they are here then that's just a plus." Saul explained himself to the animal that stood in front of him. The tiger growled before disappearing.
He turned back around and looked over the building. There were people all over but from what Saul could tell, they were security. He put his chin on his arm as he sighed. He lifted his head up when he caught view of what he came to look at. He smiled as he saw a group of girls walking to a car.
"You a Stalker?" Saul turned around and saw Trunks standing behind him.
"It helps me calm down. I'm feeling weird." Saul said as he gave a death stare at the master of the elephant.
"I hear. Kai said that you are getting closer to the others." Trunks crossed his arms.
"That's not true." Saul said as he turned around. The car turned on and was ready to leave.
"Well as long as you don't do anything you shouldn't then I guess all will be fine." Trunks put his hands behind his back.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Saul pulled out his battery.
"Don't get in the way of my ranger and give him time to shine." Trunks stated.
"You don't give me orders!" Saul morphed and charged at the master. The master evaded his attack and kicked him off the building. Saul forced his body to turn around so that he looked down. The car was gone and the security cleared out. He forced his body to turn again. Pulled out his Saber and he moved through the air towards the building. He stabbed his sword into the building and he put his feet against the building. Red left a huge scar on the building. He landed on the ground. People saw this and felt shocked.
"Who has control here? You or me?" Red noticed something odd. He thrust his sword into the master. The master opened his mouth before disappearing.
"How do you know about that form?" Red turned to face a boy who walked up to him. His blonde hair shined in the sun.
"Do you care?" The boy said as he pulled out a switch. He pushed the button and he transformed into a monster.
"Considering that you know who he is, yes." Red flipped his sword up and caught it with his left hand.
"I saw him during our first battle. I assumed he was important since he didn't run away and you proved my point." The monster seemed happy.
"Well, you won't see a battle for a while." Red was ready to attack until blasts came frol the sky. Red already seems irritated.
"So you showed up?" Green jumped down to ground level. The other Rangers also showed up.
"What are you guys doing here?" Red asked the Rangers.
"We followed him and we ended up here in South Korea." Blue explained.
"Let's fight together!" Yellow yelled as they ran alongside Green. Red stayed behind as he studied the scene. When the other Rangers got close, Green jumped into the air. He then jumped off of Black's shoulders and he flew towards his oppenent. He slashed the monster sending him tumbling.
"Hey, what's the big idea!" Black was pissed as he got up from the ground.
"Don't get in my way!" Green yelled as he ran towards the monster.
"No one tells me what to do!" Red charged at the monster too. The monster saw this coming and jumped into the air. Red and Green immediately crashed into eachother, sending eachother falling backwards.
"What was that?!" Green got up.
"Don't talk to me!" Red yelled as he chased the monster. Green followed him.
Just as Zuclo thought he was in the clear, Red and Green slashed him from behind. The monster fell forwards. He got up to see that the Rangers were coming at him again.
"You've won again but next time I will finish it!" Zuclo disappeared once again.
Both Rangers stopped and sighed. They looked at eachother and raised their swords.
"Stop!" Yellow got in between both Rangers. Green hesitated but he put his weapon down. Red turned around furiously and walked away.
"Hey Green, why are acting like him?" Black out his hand on Green's shoulder. Green grabbed his arm and twisted it and he flipped him over.
"Hey! What's the big idea!" Pink said as she got down to help the black ranger up.
"Don't get in his way." Trunks appeared before them. He was clearly displeased.
"Whats got you in a bunch." Black asked as he held his side.
"Someone just copped me. How is that possible? I don't know. Let's go!" Trunks grabbed onto Green and they teleported away.
"We should go too." Yellow helped Pink with Black and the rangers left.

"Here you go master." Zuclo, in his human form, approached the taller man who had on a nice blue suit with matching pants.
"I see you've tested Byxis' new cloaking device. If it wasn't for using our drones to see who this new master was, I'm sure you wouldn't have been able to get close to Red. It was a great plan too. Red looks like he already hates the Green Ranger." Axis walked into his office, holding the door open for the young man.
"I will do anything that my master demands." The boy bowed.
"You are a very loyal one. Don't worry, when this is done, I'll have a meeting between my biggest idols group so that they can teach you how to work the stage." Axis sat back in his seat. Byxis appeared in the room.
"Did it work?" Byxis asked.
"Worked like a charm." Axis threw over the device.
"I'll make adjustments based on the use of the device. And I'll make more." Byxis bowed.
"Get to it. And you, go drown Beast City." Axis smiled as he played with a rubix cube.
"Of course." Both Byxis and Zuclo bowed before they disappeared in their clouds of darkness.

Red walked into the base. He looked around for Mick but he couldn't find him. He walked into the lab to see if he was testing anything. To his luck, he was. Mick had up some information on batteries.
"Mick." Red walked in.
"Oh, hello Red." Mick raised his hand to signify his gretting.
"What are you doing?" Red crossed his arms as he looked at the blueprints that Mick had up.
"I'm working on some new stuff. It turns out that the previous zoo owner is someone we know." Mick clapped his hands together.
"Really, who?" Red asked.
"It was my zoo." Both Red and Mick turned to face Kai who was at the entrance.
"You owned a zoo?" Red asked.
"I did but it was a cover. When I got word that the city would have a zoo, you know because it's called Beast City, I funded it and I became full owner. I left those papers for someone in the future and Mick found them." Kai explained.
"But why own a zoo?" Red asked as he leaned against the wall.
"It was just a cover for what I was building. Under the zoo is something really interesting." Kai motioned for both men to follow him. They all walked into the command center and entered a transporter. Kai pushes a button and they teleported to a room.
"The zoo's office?" Mick questioned.
"You see this door, the one with the sign that says 'Do Not Enter'," Kai pushed a button on the side panel and the doors opened, "Follow me gentlemen." The men followed. The elevator that was behind the door took them down. It took a minute until they reached the floor they were to.
"What is this place?" Red asked.
"So the office leads to here?" Mick looked at the room he had been using. His blueprints were everywhere.
"You've been to this room?" Red had never been to this room.
"Yes, this is where I do my important work." Mick smiled as he moved around the room.
Red walked in and looked at all the blueprints. Ok one side of the table were prints for the zords. It looked like this was the way that Mick repaired them. On the other side were prints for batteries and the morphers. On top of the prints were various computer chips, some of them most likely voice chips. On the board on the room, were prints for new things that Red hadn't seen. There was a print for a motorcycle that captured Red's attention. There was also prints for other vehicles and weapons. There was a desk nearby that seemed to be connected to the computer next to it. This was where Mick printed out the blueprints when he thought up of new weapons.
"This place is located in the Zord bay. The Zord bay is located under the zoo." Kai looked through a window. He could see the Zords, resting.
"Interesting." Red said. Just as Kai was about to speak again, the alarms in the base went off.
"Go!" Kai commanded. Red nodded and left.
"Mick, get to work on some new stuff. I'm pretty sure we are going to need it somewhere down the line." Kai disappeared in a ball of flames.
"You got it." Mick said as he sat down on a chair and got to work.

Mikey drove the car fast. He was basically ignoring the speed limits. Anthony held on tight as he and Cynthia sat in the back. Alicia was on the phone with Mick who was explaining that the monster reappeared. Mikey was focused on the road until someone got in his way. He immediately hit the brakes. He was able to let out a sigh of relief as the car stopped inches in front of the person.
"Marco!" Alicia recognized they boy who stood in front of the car.
"I'm sorry, guys but I need to tell you something Alicia. I have a secret to tell you." Marco seemed desperate.
"We gotta go bro, just call her later." Mikey punched the gas and the car jerked forward before speeding away. Marco almost fell over. He looked at his wrist. He looked at the watch with the green wristband. He got up and ran after the car.
I'm the city, the monster jumped building to building shooting water from his hands. He created waterfalls that fell from buildings. Alarms were sounded throughout the city. The monster stopped on one building and admired his work. People were running to emergency stations and going underground. Many of these stations were being filled that many people were forced to wait.
"Looks like you will all perish. It doesn't matter if you hide underground, the water will seep into the underground room and you will all day from the nuclear waste that the water creates." Zuclo was pleased.
"Where is he!" Zuclo turned to see that the Rangers were in the plaza looking for him.
"Ah! Rangers to destroy!" Zuclo jumped from the building. Water surrounded him as the waterfalls grew bigger.
"What are you planning!" Mikey yelled as water fell behind them.
"Well I might as well tell you. This water will drown the city and in about forty five minutes, then nuclear waste will appear in said water and kill all the people in the city." Zuclo laughed.
"If this happens, it won't just be the city that will be affected, the whole world can be affected." Alicia stated to the others.
"Are you sure you want to do that? I mean don't you want to become an idol or something?" Red appeared holding his blaster.
"You are right." Zuclo pulled out his switch and pushed it. The black tornado appeared and he turned human.
"What the!" Anthony said loudly.
"Yea. I like the look. Also, I discovered that I evolved quite a bit these last few days." Zuclo lifted his hands up and shot water that burned red. The water pressure became bigger and sent Red flying into a building. The others looked but knew that he would be back. Red always came back.
"He's gone. Now to kill you all." Zuclo laughed before being kicked.
"Marco! What are you doing?" Alicia asked the boy who had kicked the other boy.
"I got this." Marco ran over and stood in front of the others.
"What do you mean?" Alicia asked.
In the building, Saul stood up after being demorphed. He looked out the building. He was high enough that no one would see him. He had blood coming from his arm as it escaped his hoodie's sleeve. He was breathing heavily.
"Who do you think you are?!" Zuclo stood up with an angered look.
"I'm tired of hiding. I'm know what I have to do." Marco said as he held up his watch. He pulled out a Beast Battery from his pocket. Everyone around was in shock as they witnessed this. Saul has trouble standing up as he saw this.
"No way!" Alicia looked at her friend as he spun the battery in his hand. From his pocket also came out a flat rectangular object came out of his pocket. It transformed and looked like an elephant. It flew around Marco scanning him.
"Access Granted." The drones voice said.
"Marco pulled up the battery to his face. He then moved to under his left arm, just under the wristband of the watch. A red scanning beam came out of the band. It scanned the battery and the battery disappeared, pixels left behind as the battery left. The watch lit up.
"Elephant!" The Morphers pop like voice said. A hologram of his suit appeared over his morpher. He then inserted a code, one number at a time on the screen.
#006
Marco rotated the watch's square head and pushed it down.
"Animal Strike!" Marco's morpher transformed into a sprit like version of te other Morphers. "Spirit Unleashed!" Marco yelled as he launched his animal spirit forwards.
Marco was transported into a forest. He opened his eyes and heard the water frol a nearby waterfall. He closed his eyes again and heard the sound of an elephant. He opened his eyes once more, green energy in his irises as he began to run. The elephant broke down a tree as it charged at the boy. Marco jumped into the air and the elephant used its trunk to grab into him. The elephant disappeared as it created the green ranger suit. Marco landed on the ground as the elephant's spirit head spun around Marco. The spirit went through his chest leaving it glowing. It then went through Marco's head and backed up into his face, creating the green ranger helmet. From the sky, golden armor came falling down. It set itself on the green Rangers chest. Two tusks went down flat in different directions. The diamond glowed green before staying in its golden color.
When the sequence ended, the Green Ranger stood in front of the rangers and the monster. He swiped his thumb across his chin.
"With the wiseness of the elephant!" Green said, "Green Animal Strike Ranger!" Green posed. He spun around and held his right hand up high and his left hand low. He looked forward. He stood in front of a green background with the elephant zord behind him.
"He's the green ranger!" Anthony pointed.
"I will defeat you. I will become a sure star!" Zuclo yelled as he pressed the switch. He transformed into the monster.
"You guys stay back and watch. I've made up my decision and I want you guys to watch me." Green pulled out his saber. He lifted it up and moved his fingers across the back of the blade.
"Come at me!" Zuclo ran towards the ranger.
Green ran towards him and slid on his knees, slashing the monster as he past him. Green stood up and out his saber away. He pulled out the dagger. The drone moved around as if studying his moves. The drone then studied the monster.
"Five Spots. Dagger will be most effective there." The computerized voice said.
"Got it." Green ran with his dagger and slashed the monster four times. He kicked and punched the monster sending him sliding backwards. Green then jumped up and sent the dagger towards the final spot. The dagger pierced the monsters skin. Sparks flew off the monster as he fell back.
"That's not going to stop me!" Zuclo yelled.
"I thought so." Marco then pulled out a battery. He scanned it with his morpher again. It disappeared. On the morphers screen, a photo of a weapon of some sort appeared. He then pushed in a code.
#006
"Ranger Weapon Activated." The drones voice said.
Green's armor and number glowed. A green ball of energy escaped the number. A silhouette of a weapon was seen. It had a handle and a chain that seemed to be connected to a ball. Green grabbed the weapon. In the light, the weapon was seen. The handle was green with a gold engraving of an elephant on it. The chain, silver in color, connected the handle with a ball, black in color. Green moved the handle so that the chain could move the ball. He spun the ball around as he prepared for attack.
"Elephant Mace!" Green said as he rn towards the monster. He grabbed the ball with his hand then he threw it. He held the handle tightly as the ball hit the monster. Green spun the ball around and moved the handle in between his hands. He grabbed the ball once again. He threw it up. He ball then gained spikes. Green hit the ball with the handle. The chain had somehow become longer and the ball traveled fast. It hit the monster head on. The monster fell back once again.
"I need to please my master!" Zuclo got up again. No matter what, he wouldn't stay down.
"One last try then." Green let his weapon disappear. He took out another battery and scanned it.
"Armor Weapon Activated." The drone said.
"Let's go! Elephant!" The Morphers voice said.
The Green Rangers armor glowed green. The two tusks that lay dormant, detached from the armor. The tusks then became swords. Green took hold of the handles that were present on the swords. The blades were sharp. Green lifted the swords up and posed with them.
"Elephant Tusk Sabers!" Green said as he moved them around.
"How many weapons do you have?" Zuclo stumbles around.
"Don't worry about it." Green held up the saber in his right hand in front of him and the saber in his left hand behind him. He ran forwards, gripping the swords tighter. He spun around slashing the monster.
The monster stumbled once again. Green took this as his chance. He threw up on sword and pull up a battery. He scanned it with his morpher.
"Awaiting Authorization." The drone voice said. The sword continued spinning in the air as it came down.
"Authorization Confirmed. Please Proceed." The drones voice stated.
"Final Strike!" The Morphers voice yelled. Greens helmet once again transformed. His sight changed. He could only see his target. He began glowing with green energy. The green energy traveled from his body into the Tusk Sabers. He began to feel pressure build up inside of him. He began grunting until if finally came time to release the power.
"Elephant Rising Strike!" Green yelled as he moved around swiftly. He jumped up and sent slashes. He landed and sent slashes. He spun around and sent slashes. The slashes all combined and turned into a giant elephant. The elephant charged until it hit the monster. The monster fell backwards. Sparks and electricity coming out of him.
"This isn't how it's supposed to end!" The monster yelled before he fell to his knees. Green spun around and posed his swords. The monster blew up behind him. The explosion started small but it became huge. Greens helmet returned to normal. He looked away from the explosion. The boy who once became the monster now lay unconscious on the floor. The water evaporated.
"Marco!" Alicia ran up to the green ranger.
"Alicia! Why didn't you tell me that you were a ranger?" Marco asked the question that had been bothering him for a while now.
"Are you really going to ask me that question?" Alicia crosses her arms.
"I just," Marco tried to find words, "I just am shocked that you are a ranger." Marco couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Failure." Axis sat in his regular seat. Zaku paced around. Byxis was finished something up on the tablet he used.
"It's ready. The new giganta beam will make sure that the monster becomes huge and stronger even without the human host." Byxis explained to his master.
"Excellent." Axis traced his finger on the arm rest of his throne until he felt the shape of a button on his fingertips. He pushed the button down and sat back, pulling out the cube that he loved to play with.
Outside the tower appeared from the lake. The ball lit up and shot out it's beam, sending it straight to the city.
-0-0-0-0-
The beam hit the boys body. The boy's face was of discomfort as he felt pain. The others noticed and stopped their talking. The boy was forced up as something exited his body. Once a black liquid escaped his body, he fell again. The liquid was lifted into the air and in a instant, it transformed into a huge monster. Zuclo was back.
"I was too weak for that body. I will be the one to please master Axis and not that boy. He was useless!" Zuclo yelled as he began his water attacks.
"Let's go!" Mikey said to the others.
"No, let me handle it." Green put his hand up. He pulled out his Zord Battery and scanned it into his morpher.
The battery disappeared again. Green lifted his arm up and pushed the Zord button that appeared on the screen. He then punched in a few codes.

The spirit like morpher appeared again on his wrist. He lifted his arm up and shot out the battery sending it flying.

The battery had grown to be huge. It traveled through a savannah. It then made it into the entrance of a forest. It went into a dark void. Red eyes appeared and a giant Zord came charging out of the void as it ran across the savannah. The elephant Zord was huge that it caused the animals in the savannah to run.
The Zord was green in color with black markings. The Zord looked like a regular Elephant. It had red eyes and white tusks. There was a number six on the side of the Zord. The six having an elephant style to it similar to the one on the green Rangers suit. The battery had grown and entered the Zords back. The Zord was big enough after all. It entered and now rest in the middle of the Zord.

Zuclo danced happily. He shot water everywhere. Just as he was shooting more, he was shot with water himself. He turned to see a huge Zord coming at him. The elephant Zord lifted its trunk and shot more water before hitting the monster with the trunk itself. The Zord then attacked with its tusks.
"Got to go." Green jumped into the air. He jumped into the Zords cockpit. He took out his dagger and inserted it into the Zords console. His drone then appeared and he took hold of it. He let it flip back into its racybagulsr shape, sort of resembling a cassette tape. He put it into the console. The console lit up. He prepared to drive.
"That's his zord?" Anthony asked as he looked at the huge Zord which could be bigger than his own.
"Let's do this!" Green hit the gas and the Zord moved again. It attacked and attacked the monster.
"Don't test me!" Zuclo hit the Zord on its side sending him flying. The Zord caught itself with its legs as it slid across the ground. The Zord made a noise of discomfort.
"If you are ready then let's go for it." Green pulled out a battery. He inserted it into the console and started typing in a code.
#123
The elephant Zord lifted its trunk as it made its noise. The Zord then lifted itself in its hind legs. It was slightly taller than the monster. It's front legs moved to the side and extended slightly. The feet retracted into the arm and reveled hands. The Zords trunk, tusks and head detached. Something came from the top of the Zord where it's head was. A head with a face, silver in color and with blue eyes, was revelead as a panel opened. Then a helmet looking like an elephant attached itself to the head. The huge elephant head that detached, attached itself onto the middle part of what was the chest of the Zord, gaining a tempoary trunk. The tusks were attached to each shoulder of the newly formed Megazord. The trunk became a sword and the Megazord grabbed it with its hand.
"Elephant Strike Megazord! Activated!" Green yelled as it posed in front of the Animal Strike logo.
"He has his own Megazord!" Saul said as he held onto the windows frame.
"Let's do this!" Green said as he was now in a bigger room that was used as the cockpit for the Megazord mode.
The new gigantic robot moved forward and attacked the monster with its sword. The monster fought back but he was never able to stop the robots attack. The Megazord looked unscratched. The giant robot punched the monster and hit him with the sword.
"It's time to finish this." Green pulled out his own battery and put it into the console.
"Charging up the Strike." The drones voice said. The Megazord glowed green.
"Authorized!" The drone said.
"Elephant Trunk Tusk Strike!" Green yelled as he moved the Megazord forward.
The Megazords trunk and tusks appeared in front of it. The Megazord glowed green before finally moving its arms back and then pushing them forward. It sent the energy that it gained into the three weapons and sent the weapons spiraling towards the monster. The three weapons hit the monster. The monster started sparking.
"I'm sorry master!" Zuclo yelled as he fell forwards and blew up. The Megazord turned and posed as its weapons returned and the explosion became bigger.
"I did it." Marco was breathing heavily. He took in one last breath before falling back in his seat and knocking out.
"That's one powerful Megazord. It barely took him two minutes.
"I think the days over. We should all return to base and maybe we'll find him there when he's done doing whatever it is that is taking him so long to do." Mikey told the others as they walked off. Alicia stayed behind and looked at the towering robot as the sun began to set.
Saul leaned against the buildings window frame. The air brushed past him and moved his hair back. He seemed to be impressed. He remained there as he saw the sun set. Then he felt a headache.
He was seeing a vision. People chasing him, holding guns up to him. Threatening him. He didn't know where he was but he didn't like it. When it was over, Saul fell back and lay on the ground, breathing heavily. He held his head. He didn't like the feeling that was building up inside of him.

"So how did he get his hands on a morpher?" Mikey asked the masters who were now in the room.
"You see, when Mick finished the Morphers, I sent them into the spirit world in hopes that when a master awakened, they would have what they needed to create a new ranger. That's the reason why." Kai answered.
"Nice move." Anthony said.
"I have another question. How does the Green Rangers systems work? I mean he had a drone that was saying stuff and his Morphers voice was different then ours." Mikey turned to Mick.
"You see, I made all the ranger systems differently. And I'm stil working on updates. Three rangers use this system known as the authorization system. It's a system that requires a little drone to fly around to keep these powers in check." Mick explained.
"Well anyways, we have to go. We don't need this place." Trunks got up as he prepared to leave.
"No. I want to help these guys." Marco said as he stopped talking to Alicia.
"Well tough luck but you follow my orders." Trunks said.
"You said that the elephant chose me. That he chose to give me a second chance. I want to work with them and that's what me and the spirit both want." Marco stood his ground. He looked at Trunks who had an look of anger. But it quickly went away.
"Well it's your choice. I'm going back to the SW to relax. See ya." Trunks disappeared in a ball of green air.
"Wait!" The other masters also disappeared.
"Can't wait to work with you." Alicia said.
"Yea me to." Marco smiled.
"Well let's welcome our new ranger." Cynthia took out a small cake from her bag. She put it on the table.
"Look it has an elephant on it." Alicia pointed out the animal on the cake.
"Welcome to the team." Mikey put out his hand. Marco gave him a handshake. He was now a member of the Animal Strike Rangers,
"Well now that it's official, I've decided that you should take a job at the shop. I'll keep ownership but we can run it together. How's that sound?" Mick asked the new ranger.
"Sounds great." Marco shook Micks hand.
"Well then I have name tags that I made just now. Here you guys go." Mick handed everyone a name tag. The tag had their name along with the silhouette of their animal.
"The zoo reopens in a few weeks along with the shop. In the meantime you guys have fun. I have things to do." Mick left the room leaving the young people behind as they celebrated.
Down in the newly discovered, Weapon Branch as Red called it, Red looked through the blue prints as he tried working on a ruined motorcycle. He sighed. He didn't feel like himself. He sat back and let himself drift off into sleep.

A/N: And there it is. I liked the way it came out. I mean the ending was a struggle for me but I think it's good. Well let me know what you guys think of the story so far. More to come soon. Thanks. Also I have some future projects I'm thinking of and writing ideas down for. It'll be a grand project and I suggest that you read both my stores, Animal Strike and Kemonoranger, so that you understand it when it eventually comes out. But that's among time away so you have plenty of time. Once again, thanks.
