Chapter 22: The Messiah of Darkness

The room was silent. The only sound was the sound of someone taking a warm towel out of a bucket and squeezed the warm water out of it. Everyone looked upon a bed.

Saul lay on the bed, completely knocked out. He had wounds all over his body, some still bleeding and others already dried up. Visible scars appeared over his chest and one in his stomach. He had a bandage wrapped around his head and a bandage around his right hand.

Alicia finished squeezing the towel and placed it on Saul's forehead as Sakura finished wrapping up a bandage on his left arm. The other occupants watched how she did it, four of them seeming to want to learn how she did it. In another room, Cynthia placed a towel on Luis's head as he continued moving and breathing heavily as his sweat continued to run down his body. Cynthia had placed three more towels on his body to calm him down. She flinched a little at her own pain. A bandage placed around her head and various other ones around her arms and legs.

Inside Luis's room was Eduardo, Marco, and Anthony. Eduardo had a bandage on both arms and one on his ankle with a band-aid on his cheek. Marco had a few band-aids all over his chest but he also had a bandage over half his chest. Anthony had a bandage around his head and one on his arm that wrapped around his elbow. He had two small band-aids on his face.

Back in Saul's room, Mikey, with a bandage around his arm, sat up against a wall with Rosé, Lisa, Jennie and Jisoo looking upon the wounded man on his bed, talking in what Alicia did as if trying to prepare themselves for some sort of exam. The only problem was that they couldn't focus to much because they were thinking more about Saul.

Rosé also had a bandage around her head and one around her upper right arm. She had a bandaid on her leg and a bandage around her left ankle. She could barely walk but she managed. Lisa had two bandages around her thighs and two around her arms with one bandage around her left hand. Jennie had a bandage around her whole upper left arm and around her whole right thigh. She had a few more bandaids on her arms and cheeks. Jisoo had bandaids on her arms and legs with a bandage around her legs and one on her lower right arm. She seemed to be less in pain then everyone else but she didn't think so.

"That should do for now." Alicia said before flinching at the pain she had in her own arms and legs.

"Alicia?" Mikey rushed to her as Jisoo also got down. They both helped her stand, she looked like she was about to knock out but she kept her consciousness.

"Let's get her to bed." Jisoo said to Mikey who nodded in response, taking her to her room.

"Luis should be good to go in a few hours." Cynthia got up using the bed to help her. She then almsot fell until Anthony caught her.

"Let's get you to bed." Anthony said as he carried the girl in his arms.

...

"What the hell happened out there?" Everyone was now gathered in the main room with the exception of Saul, Luis, Alicia and Cynthia. Eduardo was the one speaking.

"Those two lost control." Mikey was leaning against the wall, looking down at the ground.

"Yea, but the way they both talked." Marco sort of felt chills go down his spine as he began remembering the way the two rangers had talked. Red and Purple spoke like they were demons. The silver ranger also spoke like them. They all acted as if they were possessed.

They were all quiet for a sec as they heard someone talking. The boys all turned to see Rosé on a FaceTime conversation. The sound of another mans voice coming through.

"It's alright." Rosé said, the other three idols standing near her.

"Sounds great. I've been worried about you guys since you left for this mysterious tour." The other man said.

"There you go again, speaking about a mysterious tour." The man chuckled.

"So, when are you coming to see us, Sujoo-oppa?" Rosie asked.

"Jeez, how many guys does this girl know." Anthony seemed annoyed.

"I don't know. How bad do you want me to see you?" The man, Sujoo, asked.

"Don't say things like that." Rosé covered her mouth to hide her laughter.

"Well... maybe I'll... some..." the mans voice began to glitch.

"Sujoo-oppa? Hello?" Rosé shook her phone.

"Sorry guys, we are having technical difficulties. No phone use for the next twenty-four hours." Steel entered the room.

"Huh?" Marco turned to him.

"I'm jamming the WiFi signal. Team Saul all the way." Steel whispered over to the guys who all held back their laughter when they heard, Team Saul.

"Don't worry Rosie, I'm sure you'll see him soon enough." Lisa comforted her friend.

"Anyways, I heard what happened. How are the two?" Steel asked as he walked over to the group.

"They got pretty banged up. We were a few of the casualties as you can see." Eduardo announced. At the moment he did, Sakura appeared.

"Alicia will be fine. Cynthia is also pushing to get better. It'll all get better." Sakura had a saddened expression.

Just as Sakura sat down and the idols out their full attention back on the group, Mick walked into the room, with a serious expression.

"What's up Mick? Why so serious?" Eduardo asked, trying to make a Joker expression from the movie, 'The Dark Knight'.

"We have some visitors. They want to talk about what happened in last nights Megazord battle." Mick turned to the side to reveal two men.

The two men wore similar dark navy colored uniforms. Both of them had a red rope laced around their left arms. They had black belts with various utility items as well as holsters for their pistols. They also had holsters going down their chests, going around their arms. They wore black elbow pads and black knee pads. For footwear, they had on military grade black boots. Their uniform consisted of a navy jacket and navy colored trousers. It was the completo my same uniform except for one thing that helped tell them apart.

On of the men had on a navy colored hat with the letters 'CGD'. The other man had on a red beret. Both men had on a headset with a microphone. They also wore a pair of black sunglasses. The two men also had what looked to be a funky styled bracelet on their left wrists.

"We want to talk to you, Power Rangers." The man in the red beret took off his glasses.

"What?" The remaining Rangers all stood up and stared at the man. The other man took off his glasses and smirked.

Sakura and the idols all backed up a little while the rangers stared at the two men who seemed to know who they were.

Axis sat alone in his office, staring at the rain that had begun falling since the night before, after the three giant robots fought eachother. He sat quietly hearing the 'pitter patter' of the rain against the window. As he stared out the window, he saw a lightning bolt cross the sky, thunder rumbling in the sky afterward. He finally turned his chair to his computer and began to work.

He pulled up a list of names. Various idol-wannabes appeared to him in England. He used the whole Megazord battle to cover him leaving for South Korea but not without getting resumes and photos and all kinds of stuff from these young people who wanted to be stars.

As things were, England was currently calling for the Power Rangers to appear and apologize for the mass destruction they created in London. Luckily, it wasn't too close to the city but that final attack managed to scrape the city. Axis laughed a little as he looked down at the resumes and turned on the TV to hear about this whole England crisis.

Then, a knock on the door. Axis called for the person to come in. A young man wearing a long-sleeved green shirt, a golden necklace, a silver watch, brown trousers and black sneakers entered.

"Ah, Jungkook. What can I do for you?" Axis didn't look up from his computer but he already knew who it was. The young man who was part of the group, 'BTS', was calling since the whole disaster of the night before, worried that BLACKPINK had suddenly disappeared.

"I want to know... where are they sir." Jungkook asked politely and awaited a response. Axis dropped the pen he was using to jot down a few notes. He sat back in his chair as he noticed someone else slip in quickly.

"Do not worry, young man. They are completely safe. I had to assure their safety so I had them transported away. I would of done the same for the rest of you but the purchase and contracts are yet to be complete. BTS, EXO, Red Velvet and now Twice are going to be hard to purchase especially since I also have my purchase of various oil companies in the works." Axis explained to the boy as he got up and accompanied him to the door.

"I know you will be the best choice to own out groups, especially with the promises you made and have delivered on already, but I'm worried about Ro-" the boy stopped himself as he realized what he was going to say.

"I know you boys are all worried about the girls but do not worry my friend, I have it covered. Please, enjoy a cookie." Axis grabbed a wrapped cookie from a dish near the door. Jungkook didn't look convinced but there was nothing he could do. He nodded, took the cookie and left.

Axis closed the door and took in a deep breath as lightning struck once again. He looked back as the thunder rumbled again, followed by more lighting strikes than before.

"What are you doing here?" Axis asked as he sat down.

"I've brought what you've asked for." Zaku, in human form, appeared from the darkness, the lightning strikes ruining his hiding place.

"The Infinity Star?" Axis questioned as he grabbed a cookie for himself.

"Yes sir." Zaku presentes a briefcase and out it in the desk. He opened it and showed the glowing orb to his master.

"Great. I have finally found the perfect place to commence with the ceremony." Axis walked up to the orb and admired it. He closed the case and clicked the locks before preparing his things.

"One thing before we leave, master." Zaku stood behind Axis who grabbed the suitcase.

"What is it?" Axis asked as he turned around.

"Why... why are you using K-Pop as a means to get what you want?" Zaku asked upfront.

"That's simple. It's unexpected. Tell me, would you expect someone like me, a man who is in charge of one of the biggest entertainment companies in South Korea, to be in charge of something so sinister like sending monsters to take over the world. No, you wouldn't. Then there's also another matter. My followers." Axis smiled deviously.

"Followers?" Zaku asked as he thought back to the humans that they have allowed to transform into monsters.

"Yes. I have followers from all over. Ex-military, drug addicts, homeless people, inmates, all kinds of really really bad people. They all have been following me in the hopes to see a better future, a future where they can be perfect humans. But you want to know which group is the easiest to trick?" Axis turned to Zaku who remained silent. "The easiest sheep to herd are people who expect their dreams to come true just because someone says it will. An example would be those annoying trainees. They expect that if they work hard they will get a big break and be out into a group to debut as the next big sensation. Well, that's where I trap them. I use their dreams and convince them to turn into monsters in order to achieve their dreams. Hence why I asked Byxis to develop those switches in the first place."

"Yes, I remember. You followers turn into monsters because you offer them something they can not refuse." Zaku nodded his head as he remembers clearly.

"Exactly. With these trainees, they ask for help, they ask for everything and I agree to give it to them. At a price. They will be the easiest to herd. The easiest ones to help create my perfect creations. My way to perfect the human race. When I experienced loss, I figured that humans were nothing but pathetic creatures who couldn't do anything on their own. However, now I have the means to perfect that factor. I will create the ultimate species of human and I will rule the entire planet. No. The entire universe. With this star in my possession, no one can stop me." Axis began sounding like a mad man. "These stupid trainees. All they need is a little lush and they can become monsters. Monsters that need to be perfected. You understand. We kill anybody and humans will feel heartbreak. We break them and we can create monsters. Use their feelings against them and they can become monsters. Monsters that I will perfect into the perfect species." Axis started laughing like a psychopath. Nothing he said had made sense, mostly because it was just random bits and pieces but Zaku knew he could not say anything. He would be killed instantly if he tried to stop his master.

"Shall we go master." Zaku simply said.

"Let's. We have work to do." Axis held the briefcase tightly and walked out of the office with Zaku close behind.

The waves hit the land hard, creating a crashing sound that traveled though out the beach. People were all over the place. Some people ran into the water with their surfboards, others were just running from the waves or allowing the waves to hit their legs. Others sat around on towels or chairs looking at the others who played with the water.

Up on a pier area, Saul was waiting by a shop. Saki has asked him to get them all something to drink. He tapped his finger on the high table he stood by, waiting for his order to be completed. He had mastered the language and was now on his way to learning other languages. He was reading a book on German when something caught his eye. He put the book down and saw a woman taking a picture of him.

The woman's smile faded as she saw him look up. She quickly put the camera down and prepared to apologize.

"I'm sorry." The woman said, speaking English but having hints of a Japanese accent behind it.

"You like what you see?" Saul smirked as he looked at her from the bottom to the top. She wore a pink and white blouse with blue short shorts. She had on a pair of black and white Converse. She had brunette colored hair, a pair of sunglasses resting upon her head. Saul looked at her face and could tell she was Japanese. Her smile was warm and Saul couldn't help but smile back at her. He also noticed her physique. She was slender with big boobs, as an idiot would say. There was also a thought in the back of his head. She looked familiar, like someone he had seen on social media.

"Well... I..." the girl stumbled on her words as she spoke. She flipped her hair back as she was thinking about what to say. Saul couldn't believe it. There was a girl who was stumbling over what to say to him. The only time he could count hat someone did this was one time when Sakura couldn't answer a question he had asked her about himself.

"I thought you would've slapped me for saying something as stupid as that." Saul chuckled as his order was brought to him in drink holders. He thanked the man and turned back to the girl. He couldn't keep his eyes off her body but he did his best to look her in the eyes.

"I'm... Yume." The girl introduced herself.

Saul smiled once again taking in the sound of her beautiful voice. He looked at her smile as she held her hand out, "Saul." The two shook hands and kept smiling at each other.

"Um... what are you doing right now?" Yume asked him.

"Just getting some drinks for a few of my girlfriends. I mean their not my girlfriends, they are just my friends who are girls. One of them is my sister." Saul turned away in embarrassment as he was red all over his face. Yume laughed and turned away also.

"Sounds nice. Well I should get going. I have photos I need to print." Yume turned to leave.

"Wait. Um... maybe... I mean... I would love it... if I could talk to you some more." Saul tried to be smooth but felt as if he had failed. He also mentally scolded himself for saying what he just did. Yume giggled as she turned around.

"I would love that." Yume smiled again. Saul looked at her pink colored cheeks that made him blush, taking in her beauty.

"Well, you got a phone?" Saul mentally slapped himself for sounding so stupid.

"Yea, you got a phone?" Yume shot back and they both laughed.

"Well I do have one." Saul pulled out his phone and put up a screen to add a new contact. He handed his phone over to her and she put in her information. Her name was Yume Hayashi. That name sounded familiar as well.

"Call me." Yume said as she waved and left.

"Wow. What a girl." Saul turned back to the drinks he had gotten and began panicking. "Stupid. Idiot. I didn't even offer her a drink or something to eat. Dammit." Saul picked up the drinks and looked at the clock. "Shit! Saki's going to kill me!" Saul yelled as he began running down the street.

From the stores side, Yume stood and took another picture of him. She looked at the cameras screen and smiled deviously.

"That's your future king, brother. I bet you didn't think about going this far into the past." Yume shook her head and walked off.

Higher up, on elevated ground, Caste looked down. He growled a little as he stared at the girl and at Saul, who ran down the street.

"Something interesting has just occurred. Although it doesn't matter. You will all return to your trash holes soon enough. As soon as Axis' plans are destroyed." Caste gave a head nod and turned away, walking away.

"It's impossible. Those Zords shouldn't exist. They should be... extinct." Kai was panicking as he was analyzing what was happening.

"If those Zords should be extinct, then what the hell were they doing out there. And what the hell happened to my ranger and yours." Wolf spoke to Kai as he walked up to him.

"I don't know. The last time I saw any sign of those Zords was when I met Zordon." Kai turned to his chair, but looked down as he began to lose himself in deep thought.

"Zordon? As in Zordon of Eltar. The mysterious alien being that came to earth 10,000 years ago?" Trench asked.

"That's the one. The same one who was trapped in a time warp thanks to his battle against Rita Repulsa. Anyways, I met him once when I came back to earth from the spirit world. I had found Zordon along with the Power Coins. After studying them, I realized that there was still a way to create Dino Zords for the Dino rangers without having to use live dinosaurs for DNA samples. Once I tried it, it worked, but after a while, the Dino Zords would lose control and the Dino masters could not control them long enough." Kai explained.

"The Dino Masters, huh?" Trunks began to think.

"Yes. The only masters who hadn't originally died when the rest of us did. Their death, came out of one of Axis's remaining grunts." Trench clarified.

"They didn't have to die. They survived and showed us that us as masters could live long lives. Lives without growing old so fast. Looking like a young person at such an old age. They showed us that we could have started families of our own. Yet, they were murdered in cold blood. And now, I can't even find a trace of them in the spirit world." Kai sat down in his throne defeated.

"Don't worry Kai, I'm sure they are out there in the spirit world somewhere. Looking for us." Niji comforted Kai but he still felt sadness and anger.

The other masters remained silent. The Dino Masters were the only ones who survived the day Axis was supposedly finished with. Everyone sacrificed their lives but for some reason, Kai chose for them to stay. They were revived immediately after the battle and had lived on earth until 1990, when they were murdered in cold blood. It still angered Kai to the point that his aura burned.

In the base, the two men studied each and every occupant. Mikey and Marco were checked once while Eduardo and Anthony were double checked. Sakura and the idols were just given a glance as they were studied once.

"We want every detail you can give us." The man with the red beret said but his voice had a kind tone to it. He may have looked as if he would have interrogated them no matter what means he would use, but his voice gave a different story. The room remained silent.

"Who are you?" Anthony broke the silence and everyone turned to him as if he had made a wrong move.

"You don't get to ask any questions. Especially after what happened last night in England. The country is calling for you to present yourselves and apologize. You are lucky we don't report you to anyone." The other man with the regular hat walked up to Anthony, getting up in his face, until his partner put a hand on his shoulder.

"That's enough Eric. They do have the right to know. Sorry for not introducing ourselves earlier. I'm Wes Collins, Time Force Red. This is Eric Myers, Quantum Ranger." The man in the red beret, Wes, held out his hand. Anthony shook it as the other man, Eric, rolled his eyes.

"Wes Collins. Eric Myers. Time Force. Ahhh!" Mikey made the room jump.

"What is it?" Marco asked.

"Time Force. I remember now. I was looking through some files that Mick said that Saul used to study up on the Power Rangers and their history. You see, I've been interested in the history of the Power Rangers but I've only had time to look at it in my free time when I'm not working. So far we only know that Mick helped the Ninja Steel rangers and that Steel comes from some distant future, belong a team called the Beast Morphers. Time Force came up in the history I was reading. These guys are legendary." Mikey walked over the flat screen and pulled out his phone. He flipped it around and pulled out a chip from his case. He put it into the tv and the tv turned on.

The screen began showing a menu and Mikey used the remote to choose the file titled, Time Force.

"You have this in your phone?" Eduardo asked.

"Don't tell Saul but I copied all the files he had on his own chip. I was going to study them but I haven't had the chance." Mikey said as he finished the set-up.

Sakura went to the kitchen as the four idols moved over to the couch and sat down as the three other boys moved to stand behind the couch. Wes and Eric stood to the side, Wes smiling while Eric kept his same serious expression. On the screen, was now a clip show of the Time Force rangers fighting off the evil Ransik and his army of mutants. They terrorized the planet in the year 2001 but they originated from the year 3000. After seeing the Time Force Rangers morph and seeing Eric obtain his Quantum Morpher, they turned off the clip show.

"I'm glad to see you've been studying." Mick felt proud of Mikey.

"Well I'm still learning. Like I said, I only study in my free time. I keep watching these videos and reading a bunch of books that Saul has in his-" Mikey stopped himself before revealing where Saul's books were. Saul claimed that they were important to him.

"Well, I'm glad you know about us. And now, so do the rest of you. I've heard so much about you. The Animal Strike Rangers. I'm impressed with your work here in Beast City." Wes sounded impressed indeed.

"Thanks. That's a lot coming from a legend such as yourself." Mikey rubbed the back of his head as he smiled. He glanced over at the couch and saw Jisoo smile brightly at him. He blushed a little before turning away again.

"I think Mikey just lost his cool, and went full on nerd. He's never acted like this before." Anthony whispered over to Marco who shook his head.

"Well, now that we know who you are, why are you here?" Eduardo asked.

"That's simple. The Anti-Ranger Task Force. Hunter Ruiz is hell bent on taking you guys down and now he's going to use the power of countries against you guys if what happened in England, happens again." Eric explained.

"Hunter Ruiz, huh?" Mikey said as he thought back to what Alicia had found on him.

"Yea. He wants to take you guys down after all the destruction that the Megazord battles have done to the city. He's using what happened in England to his advantage which is why we're here. We stand with you guys as do the Silver Guardians." Wes sat down as he spoke to them. At that moment, Sakura set down a bowl of marshmallows and a few cups of hot chocolate on the table, offering it to Wes and then offering one to Eric who actually accepted it. They both thanked her as she gave a head nod and offered some of the drinks to the others, the four idols and Anthony accepting quickly.

"I understand why." Rosé spoke up and everyone turned to her.

"What do you mean?" Mikey asked.

"I understand why they want you gone. All that destruction that they made. That evil presence. It all sent chills down my back." Rosé spoke as she looked at her hot chocolate. The images of what had occurred the day before playing through her head.

"Evil presence? You could sense something like that?" Mick asked.

"It's not just her. All four of us spoke to each other and we felt something evil coming from him. From Saul." Jennie also looked at her hot chocolate as she spoke, looking a little more frightened.

"This Saul, is he the red ranger?" Wes asked.

"Correct, sir." Eduardo answered.

"I see. A red ranger with an evil presence present inside of him. Interesting." Wes claimed as he jot down some notes.

"I also see. We should take this red ranger out now before he causes any more trouble." Eric put his hand on his weapons handle.

"Woah, calm down there. I remember when someone wasn't totally on our side of when we fought Ransik and his gang." Wes got up and pushed back his partner.

"No! I don't want to think that he has evil inside him." Rosé stood up with her fist clenched.

"For someone who has a lot of guys that flirt with her, she is very concerned about Saul." Anthony whispered over to the guys.

"Rosie is right. From what I could see, he's a good guy. No matter how much bad things he said to the Tiger Zord, the Zord remained by his side up until now. He isn't a bad guy." Jennie stood up next to Rosé.

"I have to agree. That guy isn't capable of hurting anyone, no matter what kind of bad boy persona he is trying to pull." Lisa smiled as she stood with her friends.

"Yea. I stand with my friends. Saul already proved to us that he isn't a bad guy when he saved us. He has saved us as much times as we can count. Starting in Paris up to yesterday, in London. I believe he is a good person." Jisoo stood up next. The four idols smiled and side-hugged each other.

"Well girls, I'm with you guys a hundred percent. If he was chosen to be a ranger, the red ranger to be specific, then I'm sure he's a good guy." Wes showed where he stood.

"Guess I can't help it. I want to put my trust in this red ranger of yours." Eric claimed getting a pat on the back by Wes.

Sakura was the only one who seemed to distance herself from the group. She wanted to believe in Saul but after what she experienced the other night, she began to think about the possibility of an evil spirit living within Saul. Eduardo saw her concern and went over to her. He sat down next to her and shook her out of her thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Eduardo asked her.

"Nothing. It's just that, I feel like the possibility of an evil spirit living within someone could exist. I just can't help but think that Saul has that spirit inside of him. Sakura explained her thinking Eduardo.

"Don't worry about it. If he ever tries something like what he did last time. I'll punch the shit out of him." Eduardo put a thumbs up.

Sakura smiled and felt as her cheeks turned a little red, "thanks. I never thought that I would trust you but clearly, my brothers made a good choice in friends." Sakura sat, feeling a little less tense after talking to Eduardo. Eduardo turned away after hearing about Yuki, feeling guilt build up in him. He wanted to tell her badly but he didn't want to hurt her. He promised Yuki that he would take care of his sister, not hurt her.

Suddenly, at that moment, the alarm in the base began to sound. Mick quickly ran into the command center followed by everyone else. He ran up to a computer monitor and began typing on the keyboard.

"What's going on Mick?" Mikey asked.

"I don't know. There's been this sudden energy surge in a quarry, just outside of Beast City." Mick responded as the looked at map that was showing off various heat signatures. As everyone looked, they felt a strange shaking. An earthquake.

"We should go." Mikey said to the other three. They all nodded before seeing Luis show up at the door that led into the personal quarters.

"Luis, what are you doing up?" Marco asked before stepping back as everyone saw the glowing purple eyes that the boy had. Luis growled a little before running off as fast as he could out of the command room.

"Luis!" Anthony called after him.

"He must be heading to the quarry. There's no telling what this is but you guys need to get there quickly." Mick turned to the four boys.

"We're coming too." Alicia's voice broke through as she and Cynthia appeared in the center, looking a little more healed but still in pain.

"You guys can't." Marco put his foot down quickly.

"Don't worry about us. There's this drink I've been developing that allows for a power boost. It'll help me and Cynthia for at least an hour and a half." Alicia explained.

"Alicia. You can't. It's dangerous." Marco put his hands on the girls shoulders. She looked at him as he Jaír fell over he right eye.

"Don't make me seem like a damsel in distress. I can do anything." Alicia seemed to gain a fiery aura.

"What about you Cynthia? How do you feel?" Sakura turned all the attention to Cynthia.

"Do you feel like you can do it?" Cynthia turned to Anthony who asked her. She nodded simply. "Let's go then." Anthony claimed as he began walking to the entrance.

"You guys need to be careful out there. There's no telling how much more powerful this energy can get. If it can get more powerful, it could mean disaster." Mick kept scanning every second for any sort of change.

"Right. Let's go then." Mikey nodded as did the others.

"Fine, but Alicia, Cynthia. If you feel like you can't do it anymore, don't push yourselves. Pull back right away." Marco said to both girls who gave a nod.

"Let's go!" Mikey yelled.

"Wait. Let us take you there. The Silver Guardians will be able to get you there quickly." Wes stopped the group.

"We can just teleport there, thanks." Eduardo spoke as he headed for the teleporter.

"Not a good idea. If this energy surge somehow manages to get stronger, there's no telling if it'll effect the machine or not." Mick stopped Eduardo.

"Guess we have no choice. Wes, we'll take up the offer." Mikey turned to the older man who nodded in response.

"Get the team ready Eric." Wes commanded. Eric called through a communicator and everyone moved out.

"Sakura. Steel. You guys help me with these readings and keep up with what's going on. Look through news channels and through social media. Maybe we can get some information on this. You four, go and look after Saul." Mick began commanding. The four idols jumped up as they were called and looked at eachother as they were given the command.

"Why should they look after Saul?" Sakura asked.

"Well, Luis got up and ran off. In case you couldn't tell, his eyes were glowing like you guys said they were last night. So, maybe something similar might happen to Saul. He was the one with the most damage so we can't let him go risk his life right now. These four can keep an eye on him and if he wakes up, I'm sure seeing you four would make him smile and make him relax a little instead of getting up right away and learning of what's happening." Mick explained as looked at the monitors.

"How are you sure of that?" Rosé asked.

"Because he likes you. Whether he admits it or not, whether he says it's because you are connected to his past or not, he likes you. You girls just have to keep him in his room if he wakes up just until we fix this. Please." Mick put his hands together and begged.

"Ok, you got it." Lisa answered for the group. The girls looked at eachother and nodded before going towards the room of the injured boy. Sakura stared at them as they walked away. She snapped out of it and returned to work.

Saul ran down the street, almost hitting a few bystanders as he wasn't paying much attention to where he was going. He had realized one thing while running. He had rushed things with the girl he just met. They barely met and now he has her phone number. He didn't have the slightest clue as to who the girl is.

He brushed off those thoughts as he arrived at the place where they were going to meet. He saw the six girls standing on a pier, talking photos with Saki's newest camera. Right now, Sakura was posing.

"Ok Sakura. Here I go." Saki began to prepare the camera.

"Sakura! You are so beautiful. Show us your smile." Lisa teased. It seemed that the girls had already connected while the boy was gone.

"Three... two... one!" Saki counted down as Sakura laughed at Lisa's comment, smiling wide. Saki took the picture and looked down at it. Sakura came up to her as did the other four girls. They looked down at the screen and were surprised to see Saul running in on the photo.

"Did I... make it... in time..." Saul panted as he spoke.

"I gave you ten minutes Ani. It's been fifteen!" Saki scolded the boy who jumped back as he heard her anger escape her mouth.

"Sorry!" Saul apologized quickly.

"That isn't going to cut it." Saki pouted before taking the drinks and handing them to each of the girls. She then lightly slapped Saul's head.

"Ow." Saul held the back of his head.

"So, Saki. Why did you want us all to come to the beach?" Sakura asked.

"I wanted to get to know more about BLACKPINK." Saki explained as she took a sip of her drink.

"Well what did you want to know?" Rosé asked as the girls made their way to a table where they could sit. Saul walked over to the edge of the pier and looked out at the ocean, listening to the conversation.

"Well I want to know what type of guys you are into." As soon as Saki said it, Saul felt himself fall and stand up right away, looking around as he pretended it wasn't his own fault.

"What?" The idols said in unison.

"I'm joking! I just wanted to see your reaction. You know, because Blinks are always fanshipping. My real question is, what do you guys think of my brother? Is he a good guy? A good manager?" Saki asked wanting to know. Sakura could tell by looking at Saki, that she was being serious this time.

"Saul?" The girls once again spoke in unison. They turned to Saul who was acting as if he hadn't heard a thing.

"Yea. What do you think of him? Isn't he a good guy? I think he's a good guy." Saki said before looking down and holding tightly onto her skirt.

"He's definitely a nice guy." Rosé answered and got Saki to look up and smile.

"He's already made that impression. I'm happy." Saki said, understanding that.

"He's also great in bed." Sakura said to herself.

"Huh?" Jennie turned to her, hearing that she said something but not getting the entirety of what she said.

"Nothing." Sakura looked up, her face flushed completely.

Jisoo got up as Saki began teasing Sakura for getting flushed. She walked over to the boy who was looking out at the ocean. She stood right next to him and looked out to the ocean then back at him.

"Hi." Jisoo said nervously, trying to get Saul's attention. She was successful.

"Hi. Do you need something?" Saul spoke Korean as he turned to her.

"Your Korean is good." Jisoo giggled. Saul put his hand over his wristband. He was using his language converter. He was learning Korean but it was taking a while, just like he was learning Japanese.

"Thank you." Saul smiled and looked at the beautiful girl who seemed nervous.

"I just wanted to... welcome you. I'm the oldest after all so I feel like it's my responsibility to welcome you. I also wanted to say that I hope we get along. I've been living and dancing and performing with these girls for ten years, so I know it's a little weird for us to welcome someone else into our group, but I sense... that you a good guy. So welcome to BLACKPINK, I guess." Jisoo giggled as she finished her last sentence, finding it a little weird.

"Thanks. Look forward to working with you pretty girls." Saul shook her hand but looked away as he realized what he said. Jisoo laughed and the others looked.

Sakura looked a little worried. Saki was smiling brightly. Rosé, Lisa and Jennie jumped up together and yelled out, "Welcome to BLACKPINK!"

Saul rubbed the back of his head. He was flushed and he turned away, smiling brightly.

"It appears as if these tremors are continue throughout the city. Reports indicate that these tremors have even reached the city of Los Angeles. There is no telling why these earthquakes are occurring but residents are advised to stay home."

Four black trucks drove quickly through the city. The cars moving out of the way as the sound of a siren cut through the city noise. The four trucks had finally made it out of the city.

Inside the third truck was Mikey, Anthony, Alicia, Cynthia, Marco and Eduardo. Wes and Eric sat in front, Eric driving. There was a small problem as along the way, mini earthquakes kept making the car go off road.

After a few minutes, the trucks arrived at an entrance hidden away from the public. The trucks entered and drive a bit more until getting to an empty space, the quarry being not to far away from them. From three of the trucks, men in similar uniforms to Eric along with the hat. They unloaded weapons and seemed to prepare themselves for a fight.

"Ok guys, it seems the Silver Guardians were able to get in contact with the Anti-Ranger Task Force. It seems that they have caught on to the power surge but since he's in England, it'll be a while til he gets here. He is coming in a military grade plane so you have about one hour til he gets here. You have half an hour to deal with this until we are forced to intervene. We can't just ignore something of this proportion. Move out rangers and good luck." Wes explained to the young rangers who nodded and they ran off.

In the quarry, Axis stood on an elevated piece of land as the Infinity Star floated in front of him. Zaku stood to the side and watched as Axis held his hands out, absorbing power. Energy surges kept escaping the star as it seemed to be forced into labor, spitting out energy towards the mad man.

"Master, what is happening?" Zaku asked.

"I'm absorbing energy. This energy will help me. Help me with my transformation. It's about time I evolved, don't you think." Axis answered as he struggled against the power he was receiving.

The six rangers all arrived in scene as they saw Luis running towards the scene as well.

"Luis!" Marco called out. Luis looked at them. Caste cake walking up behind him, making the rangers stop in their tracks.

"Caste!" Mikey yelled as the rangers made the dirt around go up in the air.

"Aww, you remember me. I'm flattered." Caste aimed his gun and shot at the rangers who all jumped out of the way.

"Stop it! All of you!" Zaku shot three blasts that hit the rangers and Caste, the explosion occurring behind them as they were sent into the air, landing back on the ground hard.

"Zaku!" Caste yelled out at the monster who laughed at them, summoning Ravagers of all kinds.

"Hold them off. Master Axis needs more time." Zaku commanded and the monsters ran forward. Mikey then looked up and saw a beam of energy go up into the air. Everyone else looked.

"Come on guys! It's Morphin time!" Mikey yelled as he inserted his battery and transformed, everyone else following him.

"You go too!" Caste commanded Luis who transformed. Caste then summoned his wolf minions. These minions, however, were evolved from last time. They all wore a black cloak and seemed to be covered in trash and dirt. "Go Zenku!"

The rangers and Caste along with his minions charged at the Ravagers. They began fighting the minions of Axis' army.

"Animal Strike Blue!" Blue yelled as he kicked a monster and slashed at it with his Shark Sabers.

"Animal Strike Black!" Black swing his axe around and chopped down some monsters.

"Animal Strike Yellow!" Yellow used her claws and ran around in circles slashing at the monsters.

"Animal Strike Pink!" Pink used her bow and shot three arrows into some of the assassin types along with five arrows into the regular types and guard types.

"Animal Strike Green!" Green kicked all the minions, both Caste's and Zaku's, as he swing his mace around in circles.

"Animal Strike White!" White charged at the monsters and hit them all with his scythe.

"Animal Strike Purple!" Luis seemed to follow the others, hitting the monsters with his nunchucks.

"Power Rangers!" The Rangers all seemed to jumó up at the same time as colorful explosions rose into the air. "Animal Strike!"

"Stop yelling your stupid names out!" Caste shot at everything in sight. So far, only Ravagers.

"Axis is almost done. We don't need anymore distractions!" Zaku used his sword as he summoned energy and shot it at the enemies.

"Too bad! We're here!" Everyone turned to see an army of men walking in with their guns pointed at them.

"Hunter Ruiz." Blue stated as they looked at the man leading the charge.

"Glad you remember me. Now die!" Hunter claimed as he began shooting powerful laser blasts that hit thy e rangers and Caste directly. He then turned to Zaku who was also shot.

"How does this guy have such powerful weapons!" Anthony exclaimed as he held his chest.

"Hunter! Stop this!" Wes and Eric appeared with the Silver Guardians who put together their cannons and prepared to attack the monsters.

"Ah, the Silver Guardians. Such weaklings should stay out of my way!" Hunter said as he commanded some soldiers to live forward with his hand signal. The soldiers switched weapons and began shooting the the guardians, causing them to fall down.

"Hunter!" Eric yelled as he and Wes fell down.

Then, a tremor occurred. Followed by an earthquake. Everyone fell to the ground and looked up as the energy beam contunde to grow. Suddenly, the blast grew huge, causing the sky to darken as everyone covered their eyes.

"Master!" Zaku called out as the blast subsided. He ran up the hill towards his master.

"Let's go!" Blue yelled as he ran after Zaku. The rangers all took their time before they ran after him.

"We got to stop them." Hunter called out as he and his soldiers called out.

"Argh!" Everyone stopped as Blue was shot back over to them, falling and rolling on the ground before his transformation was undone.

"Mikey!" The rangers yelled out as they ran over to him.

"Go!" Caste sent Purple in. Purple ran in and got blasted back as well, his transformation also being undone.

"Pitiful humans! There's nothing you ca do to me. I am evolved! I am Axis!" Suddenly, a being emerged from the hill. It was a new monster. This monster was black all over with various golden engravings around its body and face, seemingly representing the engravings of the Aztecs and the Mayans, two different tribes. It had red eyes and had a big horn that slicked back over his head. It's head also has the design of a military hat. If anyone had to guess, it mostly resembled a World War II military hat used by the Germans. Its shoulders looked like a castles towers. On its elbows, it had golden rings that went around completely. It had golden rings on its knees as well. Its feet were big and looked like boots with sharp ends. It carried a staff with a glowing object in the middle.

Suddenly, darkness surrounded the area. Dark clouds came over head with red bottoms. Red lightning flashing in the sky as thunder rumbled.

"Master?" Zaku questioned. The being turned to him.

"Ah, Zaku. How do you like my new form?" The being asked him.

"Master Axis. It's... it's... it's amazing." Zaku complemented as he looked at his form.

"Axis? Then that means." Mikey said through his pain.

"One thousand years ago, the Mayans predicted the end of the world. Unfortunately, they were wrong. Unfortunately for them, we still live. That all changes. The Aztecs were huge believers in human sacrifices. The Mayans were huge believers in offering blood. Why am I mentioning all these random things. Well, that's because I will be the savior of humanity. The man who will save this world from the darkness. I will sacrifice as many lives as I need to in order to perfect humanity. I will offer humanity, it's greatest gift. Perfect Blood DNA. With this, Infinity Star, I will create a perfect society, for those who are worthy. Those who are not, shall perish. I will succeed where ancient civilizations did not. I will succeed where humanity as it is now, has failed. I am all powerful. I am Axis! I am the Messiah of darkness! I am a GOD!!!" Axis yelled out as he formally introduced himself to the rangers.

"The Aztecs? The Mayans? What the hell are you talking about. You can't do shit!" White was bold enough to speak as everyone else's stayed silent.

"Are you laughing at me?" Axis said calmly.

"Huh?" White backed up. Before he knew it, Axis had appeared in front of him.

"Are you laughing at me!" Axis yelled as he grabbed White by his throat. He lifted him off the ground as he went up into the sky.

"I wasn't laughing." White spoke as he was being choked.

"Die!!!" Axis let go of his throat and held White's helmet. He then blasted him with a black and purple energy beam at point blank range and sent him flying into the ground. His transformation was undone but he continued sliding, being buried into the ground.

"Eduardo!" Sakura yelled as she watched the monitor.

"Eddie!" Green ran over to him.

"He's right. You can't do shit!" Axis turned to see the Dino rangers appear.

"Well well well, if it isn't Zaku's rogue ranger team." Axis said. Zaku backed up, still feeling the guilt of hiding the team from his master.

"You bet. We'll be the ones to defeat you." Orange claimed.

"That's very funny. Now I get to laugh like he did. Unfortunately for him, he ended up buried in the ground, possibly dead. Who knows." Axis said. Green felt anger as Axis spoke so casually.

"No! Eduardo! No! Eddie! NOOOOOO!!!!!" Sakura fell to her knees as she put her hands up to her head. She didn't know why but this panic attack began suddenly and came out of nowhere.

"Come at me. If you dare." Axis put his hand out and made a gesture, pulling his fingers towards him, calling the Dino rangers out.

"You called for it!" Raptor yelled as he and Orange ran forward.

"Wait you idiots!" Silver tried to grab them.

"You guys!" Gold yelled.

"Ha Ha." Axis chuckled as he blasted a high energy beam and sent the two flying into the air and landing hard on the ground. They both began gasping for air as they were hidden in tall grass, their transformations being undone.

"Orange! Raptor!" Gold ran after them.

"This guy. He's... really... powerful." Silver already felt something he hadn't felt in a long time. Fear.

"No one can stop me." Axis began laughing evilly.

"I wonder what's happening." Lisa's voice was the first thing Saul heard as he finally began to wake up. He felt sore and felt pain on his back. He kept his eyes a little closed and turned his head a little to see Jennie using his TV surfing through the channels.

"What are you doing?" Rosé asked Jennie.

"I'm trying to distract myself. These earthquakes are scaring me." Jennie answered. She continued pushing the controls and found a channel of interest.

"Stop!" Jisoo called out as she grabbed the remote from Jennie.

"Lastly, residents are now being asked to stay home and to go home. Beast City has currently been out in a State of Emergency. Everyone is advised to stay safe and in the case of a bigger earthquake, to follow proper procedures... give me a moment... we are now being told that we have live footage of what may be causing these earthquakes. We go out to you in the sky."

The girls watched the news report that was currently playing on Beast City's channel 5. Saul turned to look as well. In the blurred image, two monsters could be seen standing before a huge group of people. It took them all a while to realize that these were the rangers.

"That's Mikey and the others." Jisoo commented as they watched. Saul got up quickly, feeling his back pain, groaning in the process

"Saul!" Lisa ran to his side as she was closest.

"Don't get up." Rosé got on the bed and tried to keep him from moving.

"I need... to go... help them..." Saul spoke as he tried to get off the bed.

"No!" Rosé made Saul jump a little. He turned his head to her and she had a very worried expression.

"Why?" Saul asked.

"Because you'll get hurt. It'll be worse this time. Stay in bed please." Rosé answered.

"Damn. You leave me no choice." Saul said as his Morpher appeared.

Skunk!

Saul aimed his Morpher and Rosé and shit her with a gas. He didn't stop there. He knew the other girls would try to stop him also at each one and shot them with the gas. Rosé stepped back before feeling sleepy. Saul got up and caught her.

"Mick's prototypes are useful Saul claimed as he put Rosé on the farthest side of the bed. He then caught Jennie as she fell.

He put Jennie next to Rosé, the girls sleeping but facing eachother. He caught Jisoo next and placed her next to Jennie, their backs facing eachother. The last one he caught was Lisa. He put Lisa in the bed, facing Jisoo. He moved to the closet and took out a black t-shirt and his hoodie. He put them on and looked at the bed. The girls slept soundly and peacefully.

"Ah, a guy would kill to be in the middle of this." Saul smiled as he admired each girl. He looked up their entire bodies three times, each. He kicked his lips before giving a nod and running off. He ran to the elevator in the living quarters. He didn't want to go through Mick.

As he reached the outside, he summoned the Tiger Cycle. He got on and put on his helmet. He reved the bike a few times and drove off.

The rangers continued to struggle as they were down three men. Wes and Eric also seemed to be injured as they tried their best to get up. Hunter forced himself up and commanded his soldiers to charge.

Up on a cliff, overlooking the quarry, a hooded figure looked upon the battle. Axis remained in the same spot as he shot beams of energy at his enemies. The figure looked around but began feeling frustrated.

"I knew it!" The figure straightened at the sound of someone's voice behind her. The figure slowly turned around and saw Neo and Sebastian standing there.

"What did you know?" Sebastian asked.

"I thought your memory was gone. Just like my kings. How do you remember this city? How do you remember him?!" Neo yelled. Although this was the first time they were meeting, at least to what Sebastian thought, he seemed pretty angry at this person.

"So it was you. After his memory was erased... you erased mine!" A females voice came from the figure.

"You know her?" Sebastian asked. Neo walked forward.

"Just drop it. You will never be able to top the four queens." Neo claimed.

"Four Queens!" Sebastian practically fell over as he heard this.

"I will become his queen. The one he truly loves. You won't get in my way. After he defeats Axis, we will get married and go on our Honeymoon and then begin our reign." The woman said as she dropped her nodded robe. The woman wore a red camisole under a black leather jacket that was left a little unzipped to reveal her cleavage. On the back of the jacket was the Animal Strike symbol. She wore tight short shorts, with straps going around her legs. On her right hip, she had a holster that held a weapon. She wore black combat boots. Her brunette hair was down and flowing with the wind.

"Sister." Neo simply said as he looked at her.

"Sister?!" Sebastian yelled out.

"Neo! You won't get in my way!" The woman yelled.

"Yume! Stop this nonsense!" Neo sent out the scarf he was wearing and wrapped it around the girl, Yume.

"Let go of me!" Yume yelled out as she struggled.

"Not until this passes." Neo said as he walked over to the edge. "Show me your Morpher!" Neo demanded from Sebastian. The boy followed orders and went up to Neo. He showed him the Morpher.

"Why do you need to see it?" Sebastian asked.

"It's almost time for you to step in. You are a key in my kings future." Neo looked back down at the battlefield. Explosions occurring all around.

-0-0-0-0-

Saul passed the group of black trucks and continued forward. He could hear the explosions from far away. He began speeding up until he hit the brakes suddenly. The bike came to a stop as Saul slid the tires to the side, causing the dirt to rise up. Saul looked up at an obstacle. A woman.

"Who are you?" Saul didn't even bother with asking why she was just in the middle of the dirt road as he lifted his visor.

"You don't remember me, Mr. Alvizo." The woman said. She had a slender shape, her breasts were shown through her dark green tank top. She wore combat shorts along with straps that went around her thighs. She wore brown combat boots. Her hair was long and black. It flowed in the wind.

Saul studied her. Then, he felt his head start to hurt. He began seeing images of a woman knocking on doors. A woman questioning him in a home. A woman who was stopped by an older man before she could do something rash. Then he saw a more clearer flashback.

~flashback ~ 2 years ago~

"I'll come in, in a bit." Saul said as he exited the home. Saki wanted to hang out with the idols a little more and she dragged Sakura along. Saul sat outside the now known BLACKPINK House. He sighed as he looked at the stars above.

"So. How's your life now that you have a sister." Saul turned his head and saw the woman from before. The woman who wanted to separate Saki from him. She wore a blue buttoned shirt, left unbuttoned on the top to show off her cleavage. She wore a black mini skirt usually worn by women who worked in offices or woman who were doctors. Her longs legs did catch Saul's attention but he was more worried about her finding him. She wore black high heels with red bottoms. Her black hair was down and went last her shoulders. She wore glasses that she hadn't worn before.

"How did you find me." Saul admired the beauty of the woman. When he met her in Japan, she was dressed in a uniform that hid everything and made her look completely different.

"You like what you see, huh?" The woman extended her leg and smiled deviously as she walked up to him. Saul backed up.

"What do you want?" Saul asked.

"There's a reason I came looking for you. You peeked my interest. You are very handsome." The woman took off her glasses and flipped her hair back.

"First time I've heard that from such a hottie." Saul literally slapped himself for saying that.

"Thank you. I know I looked different in Japan. That's because I've dealt with that girls father before the last time I met him before he died, he threatened to rape me. I had to use makeup along other things to conceal my beauty." The woman said as she looked at him.

"If you knew that man, then you know why I had to kill him." Saul said to her.

"Stop covering for her. You and I both know that the girl killed her father. You just destroyed the evidence so that we couldn't get her fingerprints." The woman got closer to Saul who was now backed up against the wall.

"I'm not letting you take her." Saul held his head back against the wall.

"Honey, just cooperate. Maybe if you do, I'll give you a present." The woman said before teasing him with a kiss on the corner of his lips.

"No!" Saul said as he grabbed her waist without wanting to.

"That feels... good. I never properly introduced my self, my name is Yurina. Yurina Saiko." The woman smiled as she kissed his cheek.

"Where is all this coming from?" Saul seemed to be scared a bit but he felt a little turned on the more he looked at her.

"I know that I acted differently before but that's because I couldn't let that man know what I was up to. In reality," Yurina came up to Saul's ear and whispered, "I wanted you." She licked his ear and made him shiver. His eyes were in shock, little red glowing but not staying.

"I... want.." Saul pushed her away and fell to the ground.

"I'll see you again. This isn't done until that girl gets what she deserves." Yurina smiled deviously as she left, her heels echoing as she walked away.

"I have met too many women already." Saul said as he held his head.

~end of flashback~

Saul held onto the bikes handles as he let the headache subside. He looked at the woman who got on a bike. She turned to him.

"Don't worry, I'm taken now." The woman, Yurina as Saul recalled, said to him.

"Yurina." Saul said.

"So you do remember me." Yurina smiled.

Suddenly an explosion interrupted them both. They looked at the huge puff of smoke that rose from the ground with fire burning inside it.

"Guys!" Saul reved the bike, pushed down and rode off.

"Hunter!" Yurina yelled as she followed Saul's motions.

The two rode together until they got to the quarry, where Axis stood above everyone else. He floated in the air, laughing evilly. He then came down and grabbed Luis by his throat.

"Caste. You have a fine minion here, but let's be honest, you don't deserve him." Axis hit his staff against the ground and purple energy flowed to his hand. He filled Luis with it.

"No don't break the curse. It took me months to perfect it. I can only use it once per moon cycle. And once someone has broken from it, they can't fall into it again." Caste tried to get up but was kicked by Zaku instantly.

"Good to know." Axis said as he threw Luis to the side.

"You don't deserve this power! You deserve to be at the bottom. At the bottom like the scum you are!" Caste yelled.

"Shut up." Axis opened a portal over him and sent him away.

Saul and Yurina looked at the monster that stood above everyone else. They then looked at the victims.

"Guys!" Saul got of the bike and ran over to the fallen rangers. He got to Cynthia first and raised her head onto his lap. He tried to wake her up and then he tried shaking Mikey and Marco. He turned his head and saw Eduardo buried in the ground.

"Hunter!" Saul turned to see Yurina run towards the man who led te mercenary squad. The man was barely alive as his men helped him up.

"Let's go. We'll settle this some other time. This is all your fault Power Rangers!" Hunter yelled out as he was dragged off the battlefield.

"Ah, the red ranger is here." Axis finally noticed him.

"Shall I exterminate him?" Zaku pulled out his sword and walked slowly but was stopped by Axis' arm.

"No, he will have his hands full with my victims. Let's go." Axis walked away.

"Axis! You piece of shit! You shouldn't have been born! You should just die!" Saul yelled as his eyes glowed red.

"Do you know what abuse feels like as a child." Axis stopped and looked forward as he refused to look at Saul.

"Huh?" Saul asked.

"Abuse. Such a mysterious word." Axis said as he and Zaku walked away, disappearing into thin air.

Up on the cliff, Neo and Sebastian watched Saul. Yume looked at him as well, trying to break from Neo's trap. Down at the bottom of the cliff, a young man stood up followed by another young man and someone slightly older. A young woman also stood up.

"Let's go." The older man said as the four left.

"My king!" Neo grabbed Yume and let her go. He jumped down followed by Sebastian. Sebastian, however, felt a weird feeling. He followed the other group.

"Oh, it's you." Saul looked at the young man with dirty black hair.

"You remember my king. I am honored." Neo claimed as he got down on one knee and bowed.

"Neo. I will get him." Yume said as she disappeared.

Sebastian followed the four. They were injured, but not too badly. He kept his distance until they stopped.

"Why are you following us?" The older man said as the others turned. Sebastian caught sight of their faces and gasped.

"Oz...Oz... Ozzy? Ju... Ju... Juan?" Sebastian said. The older man looked at him as he was surprised that this other young man knew his name. The first younger man looked at him.

"How do you know our names!" The young man was about to walk up to Sebastian. He was stopped by the man named Juan.

"Osvaldo, Darell, Jazmine! Move out!" Juan commanded and turned away.

"Juan!" Sebastian ran after them but they disappeared into the forest.

Back with Saul, he tried to wake the others up. Neo stood by his side as he watched his king.

"Mikey!" Saul looked at Mikey who was bleeding from his cheeks and his mouth. His face was completely filled with dirt.

"Anthony!" Saul looked at the youngest member. He was bleeding from his arms and his forhead. His knees were scraped and bleeding.

"Alicia!" Saul looked at the girl who had ripped jeans and was bleeding from her knees. Her elbows also bled as did her head.

"Cynthia!" Saul looked down in front of him. He put her head on the ground. She was bleeding from her face and it traveled down her neck.

"Marco!" Saul looked at the sixth ranger who bled on his face. His shirt was ripped and showed the big blood stains.

"Luis!" Saul hadn't understood what happened to him. He was bleeding in a lot of places and seemed to have trouble breathing.

Saul then turned around and saw the last member. He got up and ran over to him. Neo followed. Saul got down on his knees and tried to pull Eduardo out from the hole he was buried in.

"Hey... you! What's your name." Saul asked Neo.

"Why I am your chronicler. I am the man who serves you, the great king. I am Neo." Neo responded in a very polite manner.

"Neo? Weird name. Well then, help me get him out." Saul struggled today pull Eduardo out.

"Of course, my king. Anything for you." Neo ran to his side and helped him bring Eduardo out. Saul looked at his bleeding body. He then out his fingers on the veins on the side of his neck.

"Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!" Saul began shaking the boy.

"No! This isn't supposed to happen." Neo said suddenly.

Back at the base, Steel did his best to calm Sakura down. She kept yelling as she sat in the corner, keeping her hands on her head. She closed her eyes as she cried.

"Eduardo! Eduardo! EDUARDO! YUKI!!!" Sakura yelled as she fell asleep instantly.

"Everyone!" Saul looked up into the sky and screamed, his anger rising as his eyes glowed a powerful red.

ROAR!!!
