Interlude:

Neo: Welcome back readers. It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of this tragedy. Beast City, a city created with advancements beyond any of that of another human city has been taken over by Flor, a mutant hell bent on taking over the planet and creating a single kingdom ruled by plants. If this continues then my king will have no future. Listen here readers, no matter what you think, we need your support. The king will rise from this and when he does, we will all rejoice. Now, back to the story. Hopefully, my king can take down that vicious plant and show his true power as king. Hopefully...

Chapter 31: The Endless Night Jungle Part: 2

The sun rose from the horizon. The bright light it brought to the beautiful blue and green planet lit up the entire sky. If it were any normal day, the city streets would be bustling. Unfortunately, the streets were now empty, covered by plants of all kinds. From flowers like daisies and roses to carnivorous plants like the Venus FlyTrap.

The buildings all around were covered in vines that wrapped up all the way around to the top, allowing for plants to grow atop of buildings. There was no sign of human life. The lower half of the city was just covered in huge trees. Nothing could be seen. At least, not from above.

The loud whirl of a helicopters propeller echoed throughout the sky. The helicopter came closer to the giant tree tops that covered the streets below. The pilot sighed as he continued making rounds. As far as everyone knew, there was no one alive.

This had become the worlds biggest story. "Beast City turns into giant jungle." That was the headline around the world. People from around the world kept up with the story while keeping up with their daily lives. Scientists kept up with the news, trying to figure out what had caused this.

...

Underneath the treetops, vicious animals chased one person. That person ran and ran as their breathing became heavier. Their heart beating so fast that they couldn't even keep track of beats if they wanted to. Up above this person, the helicopter passed. The person would try to call out to it but it was no use.

As the person ran, they found a claimable tree. The person wasted no time and jumped onto it. They climbed until they reached a branch high enough. As they got to the sun, they were revealed. It was not just an originate person, but the red ranger himself. Saul lay on the thick branch he decided on and began to take in deep breaths. He looked around and could see the vicious mutant beasts that chased him.

They were definitely tigers but they were somehow mutated with plant genes. As Saul finally calmed down, he looked up as another helicopter passed by. Saul couldn't help but feel as if this helicopter was looking for him. It was confirmed when he saw a symbol on it. A crushed ranger helmet with a crosshair surrounding it. It was the Anti-Ranger Task Force.

"Great." Saul muttered as he lay his head against the tree.

The helicopter then left without trying to look for him. It had been three days since the whole incident began. Plants began sprouting from the ground at unbelievable rates. Within an hour, the entire city had become a jungle. Darkness filled the streets unearth the huge treetops where the civilians were.

Saul already knew that most people had made it to Beast City's Emergency Safe Zones. Many people would be safe as this city had them practically on every corner. There were underground bunkers and whole domes that kept a huge amount of people safe. This city was of course a creation of Kai, who was once a ranger himself. This was for the safety of the citizens in case the Power Rangers ever had to fight off some monsters.

As for other people, many were unlucky and died. Others were trapped in buildings, apartment buildings, night clubs, department stores and even their own houses. It wasn't safe to go out. If this problem continues, eventually the cities population will decrease entirely.

Saul sighed to himself as he pulled out his phone. Phone towers were destroyed so there was no signal. Saul eventually hit his head against the tree out of frustration.

"My king, are you alright?" Neo appeared on another branch, sitting down as he looked down at his king.

"This all seems so familiar, yet I can't seem to recall anything like this happening in my life." Saul said as he closed his eyes.

"Maybe someone could have erased your memories." Neo suggested as he opened his book, looking at a date, two years ago.

"That could be a possibility but who would do that?" Saul opened his eyes and looked at the swaying trees of the dark jungle. He then heard static coming from his wrist. Neo watched as the young king pulled up his morpher.

"Sa... Saul... Can you... me!" A voice was coming through the static.

"Hello! Who is this!" Saul yelled into his wrist.

"Saul! Is the signal good yet?" Saul heard clearly. It was Wes, the Red Time Force Ranger.

"Wes?!" Saul called out.

"It's working but I can only hold the communication for a few more seconds." Mick's voice was also heard.

"Then let's make this quick. Evil red ranger boy, the Silver Guardians are doing their best to find the source of the problem. You need to get your team together and wait for us to contact you again. And be careful, Hunter caught view of your battle with those monsters before so he sent his men hunting for you all." Eric's voice came through next.

"Guys!" Saul called out.

"There's no response. We'll just have to hope he got it." Wes said as the morpher cut off.

"Dammit!" Saul hit the tree with his fist, groaning in despair.

...

"We'll just have to hope he got it." Wes nodded his head slightly as he was thinking.

"How were you guys able to get here?" Mick asked the two soldiers.

"We were already on our way here but we got stuck when those plants began coming out of nowhere. We were able to get out of the car and get here after two days." Eric explained.

"Mick, do you have any way of telling us what the source could be?" Wes asked the crazy haired mechanic.

"I don't have an idea what it is but there was a huge energy spike going on in the middle of the forest here." Mick pointed at a zone on his computer.

"We should move. The Guardians should be on their way." Eric said as he put his hat on.

"Let's go then. Mick, keep us updated on the source of this whole thing and please keep trying to contact the rangers." Wes said as he walked out alongside Eric.

"Will do. Steel, we've got work to do." Mick said as he began trumping furiously.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Steel said as he also began typing furiously.

"I wonder where Sakura is." Mick said as he noticed she hadn't been to the base since the whole thing started.

...

Saul sighed once again as he stood himself up. He held onto the tree trunk as he stood on the branch he sat on. Neo followed and stood up as well.

"Let's go find them all." Saul rolled his eyes as he looked at Neo.

"Leave it to me for transportation my king." Neo said as he used his scarf and transported the both of them away.

...

Anthony ran alone as he jumped over huge vines. He pushed his way towards a building. He lost the others when they were fighting the monster that appeared before them. If he remembered correctly, the monsters name was Ecliptor. Ecliptor managed to take Orange and Raptor down. Deka Omega and Green were still able to fight while Anthony was sent flying away.

Now here he was, near some bounding downtown. He stopped by the building as he took in deep breaths. He walked around the building, walking over countless vines with a bunch of bugs crawling all over the place. He eventually came to an entrance for the building. It must've been It's main building. He read the small nameplate on its side, "Beast City International Music Center".

Anthony groaned as he tried to open the door. It was locked. There were more doors, they were all made of glass. Anthony began going down the line of doors and realized that there was a lot of space in front of the building. This was one of the busiest parts of the city so there was always people walking around. Right now, it was just covered in grass and vines. The boy then took notice in a van parked on top of the sidewalk, covered in vines.

He was about to continue until he heard muffled screams for help. He turned back towards the van. Behind the van were more cars, all scattered out. Anthony heard the screams again and made his way forward. He stopped in front of the car and looked into the window. Anthony was then shocked as a hand hit the window, a scene straight out of a horror movie.

Anthony held his chest as he began breathing a lot. He then got closer and then he saw the face of a woman. He then looked further and saw three other women. He then heard banging from another van not that far back from this one. Anthony looked at it and then back at the one he was in front of. The woman he saw at the window.

"Are you trapped?" Anthony asked. He then could feel the kick he would usually get from Cynthia for asking stupid questions. The woman looked as if she were about to cry.

Anthony looked around to find anything that could help him open the door. He found nothing. He had no choice but to use his ranger power. He motioned for the woman to take a scoot back. The woman looked at him confused and nodded after a few seconds. She scoot back and hugged one of the other women in the car.

Anthony got down on one knee and grabbed the vans sliding door handle. He took in a deep breath as he felt the Bull spirits power come to him. His arm lit up with black energy and he then opened the door forcefully, sliding the door open all the way, breaking it a little so that it was now stuck in place. The girls all looked at him and he stumbled back.

"That was a lot of strength." Anthony said as he put his hand on his head. The woman from before then began thanking him in Korean. Anthony gave it a few seconds as he pushed a button on his morpher. The translator then activated allowing him to understand her.

The way the translator works is weird. While it's the morpher that does it, the morpher itself doesn't translate. The morpher connects to the nervous system and give the brains signals to begin understanding the language being spoke. So what Anthony hears is what his brain's helping him hear. This function also allows the brain to speak a different language while the user continued to understand the words they are saying in their language of preference. Hence, the woman speaks Korean to Anthony and Anthony speaks Korean back but he only heard everything in English. (A/N: Does that make sense?)

"Thank you very much." The woman said as she shook his hand. "Can you please help our other friends?" The woman asked with worried eyes. Anthony nodded and assumed that the other van was where her friends were. He did a very similar thing but quickly while hiding it from view. Another four girls jumped out and the eight girls were reunited.

"Wait, Nayeon! Where's Tzuyu?" The woman who spoke to Anthony, spoke to a brown haired girl.

"We don't know Jihyo. We got to the van first because Tzuyu said she forgot something inside the restroom when she went in." The girl, Nayeon, said.

"In that building?" Anthony asked as he pointed it out. He also noticed how the girls shivered. "Wait, what are you girls doing by yourselves in vans. If I remember correctly, I saw some of your faces in one of those videos I sent to Saul to tease him." Anthony began to think.

"That's because they are TWICE, a K-Pop girl group." Anthony turned to see Santi smirking as he held his laser blade.

"Really dude, right now." Anthony groaned as he rolled his eyes.

"Relax, I'm not here to fight. At least, not yet. I've been wandering around because I'm curious as to why this happened. Caste told me not to but I don't really listen, you know." Santi smiled widely as he jumped over to Anthony. "Nice to meet you formally Black Ranger. I've finished my research on you and I found out you're just some high school student. Disappointing." Santi smirked as he looked over at the girls. The girls seemed to be confused by what was happening.

"Our drivers are dead." One of the girls spoke up looking over at the vans. Anthony and Santi looked over to see corpses covered in vines.

"That's gross." Santi said straight up. Then a scream broke through the air.

"Tzuyu!" The girls all yelled in unison.

"You guys get into your vans and don't come out. I'll bring you friend back." Anthony commanded. The girls nodded as they saw his serious expression. Anthony then marched over to the building with Santi behind him. "Why are you following me?" Anthony asked.

"I need to save my bias." Santi smirked once again as the two arrived at the doors. The screams got louder as the two caught sight of Ravagers running around in the building.

"Fuck." Anthony backed up, let out a deep breath and kicked his leg back a few times.

"Toro toro!" Santi teased as he waited for what was coming.

Anthony let out a loud huff as he charged at the door. He broke through the glass, shattering it completely. Santi clapped but Anthony didn't stay on the ground to listen to him. Anthony jumped up and ran towards the Ravagers who surrounded a restroom.

"You bastards got a lot of nerve coming out here!" Anthony yelled as he kicked a Ravager into another one. He then began a full on brawl with all of them. There was a total of seven. Anthony lout out another huff as he grabbed a Ravager by the throat and threw it at the farthest wall he could see.

Anthony then spun around and kicked another Ravager, dust coming off of it. The boy then jumped back as he used both his legs to kick two Ravagers, almost as if he were a kangaroo. Anthony kicked behind him without looking sending another Ravager flying. He then pulled his arms back with his fists clenched before jumping forward and punching the remaining two Ravagers.

As he finished them off, all the bodies around him turned into nothing less than grass and vines. Anthony let his breathing calm down before he looked over to see Santi gone. He shook his head as his mouth stayed agape. He looked at the restroom and grabbed the handle. He tried his best to open it and after a few shakes he managed. He opened the door only to get attacked by toilet paper rolls.

"Ow ow ow! Stop, I'm here to help!" Anthony yelled as the rolls stopped flying. He looked up and his jaw dropped a little. Standing before him was a beautiful black haired woman. She didn't seem that much older than him.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you ok?" The woman asked in Korean. Anthony just nodded. The girl then suddenly hugged him. "Thank you. Thank you for saving me." The girl said and Anthony gulped. He then felt her body shake. She was shivering a bit. Anthony then realized it was a little cold in here. He too off his hoodie. He looked at the Bull design on it and quickly covered the girl in the hoodie.

"You're ok now." Anthony said as he zipped up the hoodie. Her cheeks turned red a bit as Anthony just nodded and grabbed her hand and pulled her out. They walked out of the building, stepping over the broken glass as they walked to the van.

"Tzuyu!" Anthony looked up to see the right other girls come running out. The began speaking in Korean but Anthony got every word in.

"Are you ok?" Nayeon asked her.

"Yes, I am. He saved me." Tzuyu looked back at her hero and smiled. Anthony rubbed the back of his neck nervously and chuckled nervously as he looked away.

"Oh, you are wearing his hoodie." Jihyo pointed out and the girls began to tease.

"Stop it. Anyways, my name is Tzuyu. Thank you for saving me." Tzuyu walked up to Anthony and bowed.

"It's not a problem, really. I'm Anthony by the way." Anthony smiled as he looked at her. He felt his heart rate increase. "I'm becoming Saul." He thought to himself.

"Well, I guess we should all introduce ourselves to you," Nayeon spoke up and then all the girls began their introductions.

"I'll try my best to remember all those names." Anthony chuckled again as he scratched the back of his head. "Well, it's not safe for anyone to be out here right now I guess, so maybe we should go-" Anthony was looking around until he saw a few other people walking over to him. "Guys!"

It was Marco, Osvaldo, Darell and Sebastian. They all looked like they were fine unlike Anthony.

"Dude, we finally found you Tony." Darell said and Anthony furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Don't worry, we found a place where we can lay low. You can bring them too. There's food and water and a lot of other things. It'll keep us safe for the time being." Marco said as he began walking away.

"Come on Tony. And bring the hot ladies." Sebastian wiggled his eyebrows as they all began walking away.

"Weird. Well, we've got nowhere else to go. You ladies coming or what?" Anthony asked as he turned to them. They all nodded and everyone was off. Anthony felt weird however and was even more confused when he saw vines coming off the guys' shoes. He just shrugged it off.

...

Orange and Raptor both spun around as they hit trees, breaking them. Green jumped over them and slashed at Ecliptor with both his Tusk Sabers. Ecliptor stumbled back a few steps before finally sending a wave of energy from his sword towards Green sending him flailing towards the ground.

"You rangers aren't as tough as the Space rangers. Then again, I was expecting that and you didn't disappoint." Ecliptor chuckled.

"I'm still here yo matrix bastard!" Omega yelled as he lunged forward and punched Ecliptor back.

"Quite a punch." Ecliptor commented before feeling a barrage of punches. Ecliptor waited for an opening and then hit Omega with his own sword. Ecliptor then began laughing evilly as he separated himself, turning into mere vines and slithering away.

"Shit!" Omega kicked a rock as he watched the vines escape. "Power Down." His suit disappeared off him as the others also demorphed.

"Now how are we going to find him?" Marco groaned as he let himself fall onto the grass.

"Guys! I know where Ecliptor is going. I know where!" The four boys turned to see Anthony jumping around.

"Where have you been?!" Osvaldo asked.

"Stop slouching around. Come on, I found him! Let's go!" Anthony then rushed off.

"Wait up!" Sebastian yelled as they all groaned and got up, following Anthony.

Eduardo limped as he walked through the jungle. He came to a stop near a big tree and let himself fall. He leaned against the tree and took in a huge whiff of air before letting it all out.

"Why is this happening?" Eduardo sighed as he looked up at the trees. The sun was barely getting through. He shook his head as he stood up.

He began to walk, still with a limp, as he explored where he was. It had to be a plaza or something. He continued until he saw a group of people walking around. Eduardo hid himself quickly. He needed to make sure they weren't Ravagers or any kind. Once he confirmed it, he stood up but continued watching them. He watched as he caught view of four guys. One of them carried a boy on his back. He recognized them as members of BTS, a group that Sakura likes so much.

"Ugh, Suga, how much longer?" Jungkook asked as he walked. Suga made sure to keep the boy on his back as he continued walking in front of them.

"This is the first time I've ever been caught in some disaster like this. It's a miracle we're even walking around right now after losing those monsters." Suga responded.

"Stop whining already Jungkook." Jimin crossed his arms.

"Yea, it isn't gonna help us find anywhere safe." V sighed as they all walked.

Eduardo then began limping over to them. The boys froze and watched as Eduardo walked over to them. The boy on Suga's shoulders also watched.

"Stop right there! Who are you?!" Suga said in English.

"Relax. I'm not here to hurt you." Eduardo claimed as he sat on a stone bench. The boys called down a bit and gained the courage to walk over to him.

"May I ask who you are?" Suga asked.

"Me?" Eduardo looked up and thought to himself before opening his mouth, "Eddie."

"Nice to meet you Eddie. I'm-" Suga began but was cut off.

"You're Suga, he's Jungkook, there's Jimin and V." Eduardo answered, "I know those aren't you real names but it's easier to remember the names you use on stage. My friend likes you guys a lot, that's why I know who you guys are." Eduardo sighed as he looked at the boy, "I don't know who he is though."

"Oh, he's a boy we found alone in the park. He said that he was a part of a school field trip and he was separated so we decided to help him out. His name is Eduardo, so I assume he can go by the nickname Eddie, just like you." Suga said as he put the boy down.

"You're smart. Anyways, you guys probably shouldn't be in the open. Aren't there supposed to be seven of you?" Eduardo got up and walked over to them.

"There is but we left our dorm and they stayed behind. We got stuck after we ate lunch and our driver is kind of," Jimin stopped.

"Dead." Jungkook said without hesitation.

"Wow, for K-Pop idols, you aren't what you seem. Then again, you guys are human too so I don't see why everyone thinks you guys are different." Eduardo looked around as he saw various birds flying around.

"You understand us." V said and Eduardo smirked.

"Of course I do. I don't care if your world famous. You aren't-" Eduardo froze as he heard leaves rustling. "We need to get out of here." Eduardo looked around and got up.

"So I'm not the only one hearing it, right?" Jungkook asked. The others nodded and hummed.

"I'm scared." the young boy claimed. Suga held him behind himself.

"Don't worry. Everything's going to be fine." Suga assured him.

"Don't say things you don't mean." Eduardo said as he looked around. He then caught view of another group. He prepared himself but realized when he saw them.

"Yo, Eddie!" Matthew waved his arms.

"We're safe." Eduardo turned to the others who nodded.

"We found a place not to far from here. Let's go." Luis claimed.

"Yea Eddie! Let's go!" Jonathan yelled out.

"Hurry up!" Jason yelled as well.

"Weird. Let's go guys. Unless you want to die." Eduardo began walking. Suga looked at the younger members who all gave a single nod and their group began to follow. Suga once again carried the young boy.

...

Panther was launched back, crashing into a tree. Purple spun his nunchucks around and slapped the monster back only to get blasted in the gut. Crimson and Navy jumped over the alien and then thrust their staffs backwards, striking the alien.

"How useless." Crimson and Navy turned to see that their staffs went through the alien but they were now wrapped in vines. The two Thunder rangers were then wrapped in vines as well and flung into smaller trees, knocking them down.

"This guy is pissing me off!" Panther yelled as he pulled out his Strike Saber. He used the tree behind him as a launchpad and swing his sword, slashing at the alien.

"Heh. I, Prince Vrak, am more powerful then all of you." The alien declared.

"Says the thing made out of vines." Panther groaned as he kicked the monster back. Purple then jumped over Panther and brought his sword down the middle of the monsters body.

"My job here is done anyway." Veal claimed as he turned into vines and disappeared.

"The hell dude. What was that?" Crimson asked.

"Vines." Purple cut the vines on the ground out of annoyance.

"No. It was a mirage." Panther squat down as he studied the vines.

"What do you mean?" Crimson asked.

"Yea. Aren't mirages created when you, are like, very hungry or thirsty." Navy sat on a stump as Panther talked quietly to himself.

"You are somewhat correct. A mirage is an optical illusion created by atmospheric conditions." Panther corrected.

"But these vines aren't part of the atmosphere so are they really mirages. Wouldn't they be more like clones?" Purple asked.

"That isn't the only way to define a mirage. It is also something that appears real but isn't actually real." Panther defined.

"But these things are definitely real." Crimson complained.

"That is not so. These were illusions created by these vines which originate from this jungle. Hence, mirage is a perfect word to use." Panther stood up and dusted his hands. The boys then undid their transformations as they continued talking.

"Mirage doesn't suit this but didn't that Vrak guy mention the name of this forest before." Jonathan asked.

"I heard Mirage Forest. Maybe, there is more to this forest than just creations coming from vines like these." Matthew began to hum as he thought about it.

"Argh! I'm hungry. Can we like not talk about that right now." Luis groaned.

"We could if only we knew where to go." Jason looked around and only saw jungle. Birds screeched as they passed by.

"Hey guys!" The groups turned to see Eduardo.

"Eddie? Where have you been?!" Matthew yelled over at him.

"That doesn't matter guys! I know where we can find food! Hurry up!" Eduardo ran off. The guys all groaned.

"Wait up!" Luis yelled as he dashed first. The other three followed, everyone's stomach growling.

"Mikey! I'm hungry!" Saki whined as Mikey rummaged through a cupboard.

"Saki, calm down." Mikey sighed as he looked through various cupboards.

They were currently stuck inside of a cafe in the middle of Beast City's business center. Mikey sighed as he couldn't find anything eatable. He walked back out into the cafes dining room. There he saw the five idols that made up the group of Red Velvet as well as a few other citizens who seemed to be in their own smaller groups, each speaking different languages.

"Dammit." Mikey slammed his fist on the wall next to him. Everyone glanced at him before returning to talking.

"Are you ok?" Irene asked, speaking in Mikey's tongue.

"Yea. I'm fine." Mikey said as his translator lit up and allowed him to sound as if he were speaking Korean.

"You know, you should learn the language yourself. It makes it better than just using this thing." Saki said as she held up Mikey's wrist. Mikey sighed as he pulled his arm out.

"Don't worry unni, he's just frustrated because he can't find food. The only thing available are ingredients to make food." Saki spoke in fluent Korean and she even surprised Mikey. She didn't need the help of the translator. "By the way Mikey, are you into older women?" Saki asked and Mikey went red. Irene was also shocked from the question.

"W-what are you talking about?" Mikey asked.

"Well, I heard you listening to one of Irene-unni's songs and you sang along to all her parts. I just thought-" Saki was stopped my Mikey's hand in her face.

"We should be thinking about food and survival, nothing else." Mikey sighed as he walked back into the kitchen. Saki smirked and made a heart symbol with her hand. Irene just turned away with a tint of pink in her cheeks.

...

Silver felt the strike from the blade as he faced Zeltrax in a fierce battle. Yellow, Pink, and Gold each fought against the Ravagers that continued to spawn. Pink and Gold were flying around while Yellow raced around.

"Where the hell did you come from?!" Silver struggled against Zeltrax's blade with his own.

"I have no time to answer you. Just to destroy you." Zeltrax said as he pulled back before kicking Silver and then swinging his sword upwards, cutting Silver right up the middle. Silver flew backwards and landed flat on his stomach.

"That's it! Now I'm pissed!" Silver hit the ground with his fists before standing up. He began shaking as his visor came to life. He roared just like a triceratops would roar. His eyes began being filled with red energy.

"My turn to play!" Another voice, similar to Juan's but a little lower, yelled as he roared.

"What is this?" Zeltrax took a few steps back as he held his shield and sword in a defensive position.

"Muahahaha!" Silver laughed evilly as he slashed at Zeltrax. He continued to assault the monster and sent him flying back into a tree.

"Where did this power come from?" Zeltrax asked as he stood up.

"I'm not letting Raul take all the fun. I've finally become my own person!" Silver yelled as he jumped up and punched Zeltrax right in the face. He continued barraging the monster with a bunch of punches. Zeltrax tried his best to attack but he couldn't find any openings.

Silver just laughed evilly as the girls stopped fighting and watched him. Silver pulled his arm back and thrust it forward, landing a really powerful punch on Zeltrax's head. Zeltrax flew backwards and crashed into various trees.

"Yes!" Silver yelled before feeling a sharp pain in his fist. He fell to one knee as he held his fist in his other hand. "Guess my time was up, huh? No worries. Next time, I will rampage some more." The voice of Jose disappeared as Silver came back to his senses.

"Juan, are you ok?!" Yellow finished off a Ravager and ran over to him as did the other girls.

"Huh? Oh, y-yea I'm fine." Silver stood up and shook his head.

"Guys!" The four turned to see Saki jumping up and down next to Mikey.

"I thought you guys were still at the cafe?" Pink tilted her head as Saki began to shake her head.

"We found a better hiding spot. Hurry up!" Saki ran off. Mikey followed her.

"Why didn't Mikey say anything?" Gold had her own questions.

"Doesn't matter. Let's go." Silver said as he began following. He continued to cradle his fist as the group left.

"Argh." The voice of a young man filled the ears of two others. The three young men, who were currently laying in the middle of the jungle, stood up slowly.

"I'm guessing he got away." The first man had slicked back black hair with the sides faded. He wore a white t-shirt under a black track jacket. He wore black shorts and black Nikes. He also had a necklace dangling from his neck. It had a pendent that looked like a Lion.

"What made you assume that." The second young man asked with a slur as he held his head. He had an army style cut, black hair. He wore a camp shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He wore tan colored trousers with black boots. He had dog tags dangling from his neck with a bag engraving on the back of each of them.

"Maybe it's the lack of a huge ass gorilla." The third young man groaned as he sat on a rock. He had flat black hair with his sides faded along with a sort of lightning strike design. He had on a grey shirt with green sleeves. He wore blue jeans and green converse. He had a necklace as well with a snake head pendent.

"Roberto, Daniel, David." The three looked up as their names were said. They turned and were met with five people who were all tied up. They all wore similar robes to the other masters except they had the corresponding colors of their rangers along with the corresponding animal symbols.

The first man was the Lion Master, King. The second man was the Bat Master, Kiba. The third man tied up was the Snake Master, Fangs. The fourth master, a woman, was the Dolphin Master, Iruka. The fifth master was the Panther Master, Cloak.

"Ah, the masters. Looks like you've been found." The first young man, Roberto, smiled as he held his arms out.

"This is no time for jokes. Quickly, untie us." Kiba scolded as he moved.

...

"Finally, that bastard was keeping us enclosed like caged animals." Kiba massaged his wrists as the masters all stretched.

"Ha, you guys got caught easily." Roberto chuckled.

"This is really not the time for jokes, although I'm always down to joke around." King chuckled at himself.

"You guys need to find Flor and take him down immediately. There's no time." Cloak claimed.

"Yes. If you don't stop him, he will take over the entire planet." Iruka closed her eyes and took in a deep breath as she felt weak.

"We need to get back to the spirit world. There's no time. You guys. You know what to do." Fangs said as he snapped his fingers. The five masters disappeared.

"You would've thought that would have taken longer." The second young man, Daniel, otherwise known as Danny, stretched.

"Yea, but then the audience there would be so bored. They just want us to defeat the bad guy and thats it. No need to put in long interactions with unimportant characters, am I right author." The third young man, David, spoke to no one in particular.

"Why do you always act like you are either in a movie or story. Stop trying to break the fourth wall, life doesn't work like that. And besides, the masters wouldn't be unimportant characters. They were the ones who gave us this power." Roberto leaned back against a tree.

"You don't know. It could work like that. And secondly, I just have this feeling like they are just here for the purpose of us getting our powers and then they'll probably die midway through the story. Like, maybe only one of them is really important." David crossed his arms as he frowned.

"Anyways, let's follow this trail of dead leaves and see where it takes us." Danny suggested.

"Dead leaves. That's what you got." Roberto asked.

"You've got a better idea?" Danny asked. Roberto shrugged and opened his mouth but they were interrupted.

"Hello, is anyone there!" The sound of Wes' voice filled the air.

"Help?" David questioned.

Saul walked through the street, holding his side. Teddy followed him as they made their way to the YG Building in hopes of finding some sort of sanctuary just until they figure out a plan to defeat Flor.

"So what's up with that plant dude?" Teddy asked as he jumped over some stray tree roots.

"I don't know. Something about wanting to take over the planet or something." Saul said as he walked ahead.

"Well, he shouldn't be at his full potential so maybe you can defeat him with ease." Teddy claimed.

"If you know so much, then why are you asking me?" Saul rolled his eyes as he continued forward.

"Just needed to confirm it, that's all." Teddy smirked and shook his head.

"Well, if he isn't at his full potential, maybe I can burn him to death or something." Saul said as he came to a stop by an intersection. He turned to the side and noticed four vans all covered in vines.

"Poor souls. Who knows if they survived." Teddy sighed. They both turned around until they heard banging coming from one of the doors.

"What the hell was that?" Teddy asked. Saul remained still as he listened closely.

"There's people trapped in there." Saul pulled out his battery and activated his morpher.

He transformed in an instant and ran over to one of the vans in the summoned his own sword as he cut the vines. It was no use as the vines were thick. Red then pulled out a battery and placed it into the swords hilt. The sword lit up in flames and red swing it around, burning the vines surrounding the vines snapped and fell off the van. Red quickly grabbed the handle to the door and pulled it open. The door sort of broke. Red looked as Rosé jumped out. She grabbed onto his neck and they both fell.

"Rosie?!" Her members called out to her. Rosé looked up at Red and blushed furiously. She sat up on him and it only made Red blush. Rosé then got up fully. Red remained where he was.

"Finally!" Saki jumped out and stepped on Red who winced as he felt the blow on his stomach.

"Oof, that had to hurt." Yuki found his way out as did the other girls.

"What are you girls doing in there?" Teddy asked with concern present in his voices she ignored Yuki.

"I was driving them home when these vines popped out of the ground." Sakura answered as she held the side of the van.

"Oppa? Where's Saul?" Jennie asked suddenly.

"He's-" Red began but Teddy covered him.

"Well, we were separated from each other when we were on our way to go see something. That's when I met the Red Ranger here." Teddy scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Well, let's go. You coming with?" Red asked the group.

"Wait, there's more people on these vans." Lisa announced and Red groaned.

"You serious?!" Red looked back at them. They all nodded and Teddy laughed.

...

Red held his sword and slashed at the first van. The vines burned down. He opened the door and another girl jumped on him.

"Joy!" The four girls remaining in the van called out.

"Huh?" Joy looked down and blushed furiously.

"Ugh." Red groaned again. Joy then got up and Teddy helped Red up.

"Looks like their driver is dead." Yuki said as he opened the driver door. They saw the drivers body with a vine through his head.

"That's just plain out gross." Red shook his head as the girls all looked away.

...

Red finished off with the last two vans. This time, he didn't get attacked randomly. He put his hands behind his neck as he sighed.

"That's everyone right?" Red asked and Sakura nodded.

"Well, everyone except for three dead drivers." Yuki closed the drivers door of the last van.

"Well, let's go. Sanctuary is this way." Red pointed and began walking until he felt something stop him. He looked down and saw that his legs were tied up.

"Oh shit." Red silently let out.

"There is no sanctuary in my jungle." Red was then dropped to the ground and pulled up into the air. Red dangled from a tree as Flor appeared. "I may not be at full power but I've got just enough to destroy you." Flor then chuckled maniacally.

Saul and Neo both continued down their road. As they arrived at an intersection, Saul felt a familiar feeling. He Leander against a light pole as Neo looked over to him.

"What is wrong my king?" Neo asked.

"Nothing. It just feels like... I've been through this situation before." Saul sighed as he put his head back.

They then heard muffled screams. Saul looked up and looked at a single van dangling from a tree. The vines wouldn't be able to hold it for long.

"Neo, open the vans driver door." Neo hummed and sent his scarf flying towards the drivers side. The scarf opened it and someone came flying out. He was screaming before Neo caught him and dropped him safely on the ground.

"Teddy?" Saul looked at the man.

"Saul! The girls, they are in there!" Teddy wasted no time and the van moved once again.

The screams of the girls filled Saul's ears. He quickly ran to another tree whose branch was close to the car. Saul climbed up the tree and kept himself on the thick sturdy branch. He crawled over to the van. Neo's scarf then came up and hit the lock, unlocking it.

The vans door flew open and nearly fell off the van itself. Saul watched as the girls all held onto their seats with closed eyes. He needed to get them out of there.

"Girls." Saul said and they nervously looked over at Saul who looked at them, "I'm here to help you, but you are going to have to come to me." Saul said as he held his hand out. "Jisoo, you come out first."

Jisoo shook her head as she held onto her seat. The other girls also shook their heads.

"Jisoo, unbuckle your seatbelt and come to me. I will make sure you don't fall. I promise you that I won't let go once you grab hold." Saul spoke in clear Korean and Jisoo looked at him. She looked into his eyes as held his arm out. She then heard the screech of an eagle. The eagle landed on a branch not to far from them and looked down at her.

Jisoo looked at it and nodded before looking at Saul and nodding as well. She reached down and took off her seatbelt. She grabbed on to the seat in front of her and reached her hand out. Saul reached out as well until he felt Jisoo's hand. He grabbed it with a strong grip as he pulled the girl out with his own force.

Jisoo fell onto him and Saul held her tightly. The branch was big enough to walk on so there was no worry about falling easily. Jisoo cried into Saul's shoulder as Saul pat her back and whispered into her ear, telling her everything's ok now. Jisoo then moved to the side and found a place to sit safely.

"Ok, you're next Lisa." Saul got closer to the van as Lisa was sitting farther back.

"No, I'm too far from the door. If I move we could die." Lisa was crying

"Lisa, I'm not going to let you die. Trust me. Just use Jisoo's seat as a step and walk carefully. I've got you." Saul said in a calm tone as Lisa looked at him. She gulped and looked at Jennie and Rosé who were crying as well. She finally nodded looking back at Saul. She took off her seatbelt and she reached over for Saul. She put her leg on Jisoo's chair and tried her best to get over it.

When she finally did, Saul grabbed her arm and pulled her out quickly. The van moved a bit but remained where it was. Lisa held onto Saul tightly as she cried into his shoulder. Saul rubbed her back and whispered into her ear as well. He then moved Lisa to the side, where Jisoo hugged her.

"Ok Jennie, you're going to need to climb onto Jisoo's seat." Saul turned back around.

"I can't. I can't do that." Jennie cried.

"What do you mean you can't?" Saul asked in annoyance.

"If I move, it will fall." She cried.

"Jennie. I promise I won't let you fall." Saul said but Jennie refused. "What happened to my best friend Jennie, huh?" Everyone paused and looked at him. "My best friend Jennie would never ever give up so easily. When they told her that she was being lazy and that she couldn't do anything, she continued to fight through it. Now look at her, she's a global superstar. She's a savage girl with a kind heart. She can do anything!" Saul yelled out. Jennie remained quiet before looking up at the vans open entrance.

"I can do anything." Jennie nodded and grabbed onto Jisoo's seat as soon as she took off her own. She pulled her self up. The van moved a little but she didn't give up. She got onto the seat and reached for Saul's hand.

He grabbed her and pulled her out with a little more force. She landed on his body and he held her tightly. She cried into the crook of his neck and Saul just rubbed her back. He then helped Jennie to sit with the other girls as he set his sights on the last girl in the van.

"Rosé. I know you won't feel confident about coming out but... I know you are strong and confident in anything you do. I know that you can do this. Just get onto the seat and grab my hand. I promise to never let go. I promise to hold you tight." Saul said as he waited for Rosé to pop her head into view. He saw as Rosé tried her best to climb onto the seat. He smiled as he got closer.

SNAP!

Saul looked up and the vines began snapping. Rosé felt the van shake violently and she screamed.

"Rosie!" The other three girls yelled as the vines completely snapped.

Saul then jumped into the van as it began to fall. He landed in the back and wasted no time as he grabbed Rosé and pulled her onto his lap. He hugged her body and kept her head in the crook of his neck as he kept his hand on her head. Saul held her tightly as Rosé snuck her arms around him and held on tightly with her eyes closed.

As they were about to hit the ground, Neo's scarf wrapped itself around the van and set it down safely. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Neo panted a bit as he had sweat dripping from his forehead. He then reached up for the other theee girls to bring them down.

Inside the van, Saul held onto Rosé as she held onto him. She was crying into his chest and Saul was shaking a bit.

"I've got you. Shh, I've got you." Saul said as he caressed her back. She looked up at him and he looked down at her. They stared into each other's eyes as their breathing calmed down.

"Thank you." Rosé said in a calmer tone.

"It's like I said, I'll never let go." Saul smiled and Rosé also smiled a bit.

They kept staring into each other's eyes as they subconsciously began moving closer to each other. Their heads coming closer.

Closer.

Closer.

Their lips brushing each other as the tips of their noses connected.

Then, Neo opened the other door quickly and the two separated. Rosé kept her head on Saul's chest and Saul watched Neo. He was mentally cursing him.

"My king, my queen. Are you alright?" Neo asked.

"Yes Neo. We are ok." Saul answered as he groaned. Rosé giggled softly before having to get off Saul in order to get out. The idol exited the vehicle first and was engulfed in a hug from her members. Saul followed and then felt the embrace of four girls.

"Looks like someone is getting all the love." Teddy chuckled. Saul just smiled.

"Ah, love is such a pathetic emotion." The group looked over to see two giant flowers bloom open as they made their way towards them. Saul was then wrapped up in vines and carried off the ground.

"Saul!" The girls along with Teddy called out.

"What is this! Unhand my king now!" Neo called out only to get attacked by a vine.

"Neo!" Lisa and Jisoo went to the now injured chronicler.

"You seem to be quite different since I last saw you." Saul was turned to face one of the flowers.

"What... are you... talking about?" Saul asked as he felt the air quickly escaping his lungs.

"Ah, you don't remember me? Well then, let's jog your memory." Flor laughed as a vine came straight for Saul.

(A/N: In this next scene, we are going to go back and forth between the past and present. The past will be in italics while the present will remain in normal text. Let's continue.)

Saul quickly broke free from his restraints and quickly transformed only to feel the sharp pain of the vine that sent him flying back into a tree.

Red dodged the oncoming attack as he pulled out his saber and slashed at the attacking vines. He managed to backflip out of the way only to get hit from behind.

Red stumbled before feeling the sharp attack from behind. He spun in the air before hitting the tree in front of him. He gripped his saber as he jumped back up and slashed at any oncoming vines.

After dealing with the vines, Red turned towards Flor who flew at him and punched him square in the face. A massive amount of air burst from in between them as Red crashed into a van.

Red pulled himself out of the van only to find Flor standing before him. Flor chuckled before slapping Red across the face. Red rolled around few times. Flor began to walk towards Red only for the ranger to turn around and shoot at him.

Flor stumbled back as the red laser bullets hit him directly in the chest. Red quickly picked himself up and used another van to launch himself forward. He held his saber out and slashed at Flor who screamed in pain.

Red then used his heels to spin around and slash at Flor one more time. Flor stumbled forward. Red groaned a little as he felt sharp pains all over his body.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm stronger than before." Flor said as he held his hand back.

Red was sent flying up into the air only for a vine to wrap around his neck and pull him down. Red crashed into the ground as smoke began to emit from his suit. Red then began to choke as the vines around his throat got tighter.

Flor laughed as Red struggled against his grip. Flor then felt the sharp slash of a blade on his back. He fell to one knee as Red fell to the ground. Flor turned his head a little as he caught view of Rosé holding the Strike Saber in her hand.

~2 years ago~

Rosé didn't know what she was thinking as the blade fell to the ground. She was shaking as she took a few steps back.

"You bitch!" Flor yelled as he ran towards her. Red then shot at Flor from behind. Teddy then front flipped forward and kicked Flor back. Red then used Flor as a step as he flipped over him and landed in front of the musicians. He picked up the saber and put it to his side as his Tiger Sword appeared in front of him.

"Don't call her a bitch!" Red yelled as he used one foot to launch himself.

He spun around as he thrust his sword into Flor. Flor screamed as his body lit up in flames. Red then skid on the ground and turned back around. His body began to glow a bright red. His eyes glowed as well as his body began to emit some sort of spirit energy.

"You will not win." Red's voice was split between two different voices.

Saul and Raul were both connected. Above Red, a huge spirit tiger appeared. It roared loudly, making the ground shake as well as the trees. Red then pulled his sword up, which lit up in flames. He swung it around and slashed to the right then to the left. The tiger followed his movements and attacked Flor. Flor began sparking as he took a few steps back. Red then lifted his sword up as the tiger lifted its claw up. Red brought his sword down and slashed Flor down the middle.

"Argh. Now, I know what my limits are. Beware for I will come back in two years time." Flor laughed like a maniac before blowing up.

The jungle around him began to disappear as quickly as it appeared. Slowly, the city of Seoul returned to normal. Red slowly calmed down.

"Everything's back to normal!" Lisa exclaimed as people began to exit their homes and look up at the blue sky.

"Hey Red, you did great." Teddy complimented. Red slowly walked over to Rosé and enveloped her in a hug.

"Don't ever do that again." Red said as he caressed her back. Rosé stood still as she wrapped her arms around him. After a minute, they let go of each other.

"Red, are you alright?" Teddy asked.

"Yea-" Red fell to one knee before falling fully onto the ground.

"Red!" Teddy yelled as he got down. The idols standing around just watched as Teddy tried to wake Red up.

~Present~

Rosé backed up as Flor stood up. He chuckled to himself as he ran to her and caught her. Red picked himself up. As he still felt a little dizzy.

"How about I just kill you right now." Flor wrapped his arm around her and began to put force on her neck.

"Rosie!" Her members called as Red tried to get up.

"My queen." Neo struggled to get himself up as well.

The group watched as Rosé began to turn red. Lisa and Jennie were already in tears. While Jisoo, who was also tearing up, heard a ruffling sound in the trees. She looked up and on a branch, she caught view of the eagle she saw before. Jisoo then felt as if she was transported to another world.

"What are you doing just standing there? It is time to awaken. Save your friend. Take my power." A feminine voice spoke to Jisoo as she looked around in the small black and pink void she was in.

As Jisoo returned to the real world, her eyes glowed a bright pink color. Her mouth agape, she looked over at Flor and her eyebrows furrowed. She then pulled her hand up as the eagle screeched.

As if on command, a giant sized spirit eagle appeared over Flor. It screeched and flew down, attacking Flor and capturing Rosé. The eagle flew back around and dropped Rosé in front of Jennie and Lisa.

The eagle screeched one last time and attacked Flor. Flor was then sent flying deeper into the jungle. After one last screech, it dispersed into particles. Jisoo's eyes returned to normal as she came back to her senses. She looked over at Rosé and ran over to her.

"Queen Jisoo?" Neo asked as he was the only one who saw her.

"I don't know what that was but I need to go after him. Keep an eye on them Neo!" Red yelled as he ran after Flor.

"You can count on me, my king." Neo bowed. He then turned to look at Jisoo. "Perhaps the awakening of the queens has arrived." Neo smiled and then walked over to them.

"Where are we going?!" Anthony questioned his teammates as he followed them along with the nine idols who he saved.

"Relax Tony, we are almost there." Darell put his hands behind his back as he entered a hidden hole following the other rangers he was with.

"I don't feel safe." Tzuyu said as she got closer to Anthony.

...

"Eddie, do you have any idea where we are going?" Jason asked.

"Just trust me guys. I know exactly where we are going." Eddie said as he pushed pass some bushes that covered an entrance.

"Eddie?" Jonathan looked closely.

...

"Mikey! Saki! How far are you guys taking us?" Juan asked as he looked around.

"We're here!" Saki said as she and Mikey jumped into a hidden hole in a wall.

"The hell?" Juan followed them slowly while in front of the girls

...

"Anthony! Where are you taking us!" Sebastian groaned.

"Almost there." Anthony claimed as he jumped into a hole.

"A secret entrance?" Osvaldo wasted no time and found a way to jump in.

...

"Matt, where are we going?" Eduardo groaned in annoyance.

"Chill out my friend. We are here." Matthew and the others jumped into a hole.

"Yea, I don't trust it." Eduardo looked at it suspiciously before shrugging his shoulders.

...

Inside of each of those holes, lies a huge arena. The vine walls reached all the way to the top to where the treetops were. As everyone entered the holes, they found themselves shocked and surprised to see each other. They were even more surprised to see that their guides had disappeared.

"What's going on here?!" Mikey called out as he and Saki arrived last.

"I don't know man!" Eduardo answered.

"It's time to destroy you." Everyone watched as a huge enclosed plant came out of the ground. It opened up and out came Goldar. Just as he suddenly appeared, the Twice idols, BTS idols and the child they had with them were enveloped in vines and lifted off the ground. They became cocoons as they screamed for help.

"Oh shit." Darell said as everyone looked around at the floating cocoons.

"This isn't going to be good." Juan announced.

"You ready to die rangers." Everyone looked to the center once again and watched in shock once again as they themselves were grown from the ground.

"What the actual fuck!" Marco yelled.

"That's not all rangers." Goldar chuckled evilly as the clones were enveloped in vines and transformed into Power Rangers themselves.

"Look dude, we've already been through a whole clone type situation so this ain't cool." Anthony pointed out. Goldar just snapped his fingers and the rangers mirage clones began to run into battle.

"We've got no time to waste!" Alicia yelled. Everyone agreed and after confirming that the idols were indeed in cocoons, they transformed and clashed with their mirage clones.

"All for Master Flor." Goldar said under his breath.

"Master Flor my ass." Goldar froze as he looked up and was attacked by three blades.

"Looks like we finally made it to the party boys." The rangers continued fighting but watched as three men arrived.

"Roberto, I say we just get right into it." Daniel held out his arm. David nodded and followed suit.

"Ah, you guys are no fun." Roberto pulled up his own arm.

Their morphers were just like the morphers of Panther and Dolphin. The boys took out their batteries and inserted them into their morphers. Roberto then turn his knob so that the small arrow on it was pointing to the orange and red colored bar that had the letter "L" on it. Daniel turned his to the black bar that had the letter "B" on it. David turned his to the green bar that had the letter "S" on it. Holograms of their suits appeared over their morphers.

"Eco Strike!" They yelled together.

"Eco Strike?" Panther and Dolphin both questioned.

"Spirit Unleashed!" They yelled as they pushed the buttons on their morphers. Their animal spirits flew up into the air before coming down.

~morphing sequence~

Roberto stood in the plains of Africa. He stood still as the grass moved with the wind. He then looked straight ahead as he looked into the eyes of the king of the jungle. The lion roared as it ran straight at Roberto. Roberto held his arms out as the lion transformed into a spirit animal and entered Roberto. His suit formed around him as energy until it burst revealing its true design. The lion spirit head then flew around and went through his head before backing up into his face and forming his helmet. He roared as he posed with his hands out looking like claws.

Daniel stood at the entrance of a cave. The moonlight shined down on him. He opened his eyes which were fully white with no pupils or irises. As if on cue, a horde of bats flew out of the cave and began flying around him. Daniel jumped into the air as his suit formed around him. A bat spirit then flew around him before flying into his head and backing up into his face, forming his helmet. He landed on the edge of a cliff as the moon sat behind him. He held his arms arched out, to look like a bat.

David stood in a jungle full of snakes of all kinds. The snakes slithered all around him as he stood tall. The snakes then all began to attack him simultaneously. His suit was formed quickly as an anaconda attacked last. Two spirit snakes then slithered up his body from the ground up. As they reached his head, the went right through it and turned into one snake and quickly backed up onto his face, forming his helmet. He then posted with his right arm looking like a snake standing while his left arm supported it.

~morphing sequence ends~

The three rangers stood before Goldar. They each did a different stretch as Goldar prepared his sword.

"You aren't going to like us very much, I can tell you that much." Lion chuckled as the three pulled out their personal weapon batteries and inserted them into their morphers and punching in the necessary codes and pushing the weapon button.

#258

#017

#018

#019

Their numbers glowed as lights escaped them. The silhouettes of their weapons appeared within. They then grabbed their weapons and pulled them out of the light.

Lion held out a lance. It is a red orange color with three sharp blades on each side, looking like the top of a trident. In the middle of the lances handle was the golden engraving of a lion.

Bat's weapon was actually two war fans made of blades. The blades donned a dark gold and silver color with the ends of the fans being black in color. On the fans grips were golden engravings of a bat.

Snake held out a spear. The entire spear looked like a snake with the tip of it coming out of a snakes mouth. It was a yellowish green color with a golden snake engraving on the handle.

"These will do just nicely." Lion roared as the three ran towards Goldar.

Goldar blocked the first attack coming from Lion onto to be slashed in the middle by Bat. Snake then jumped over Goldar and thrust his spear into the gorillas back. Goldar roared until he got slashed by Lion right up the center. The gorilla dispersed into vines quickly.

"Hey yo! Fellow rangers. Your copy's there are just pure vines. All you have to do is stab them right through the middle and they become weak and once you finish them off, they disperse." Lion informed as he spun his lance around and held it on his shoulders.

"Should we trust his word?" Purple turned to Blue.

"It's worth a shot." Blue shrugged as he began his attack.

-0-0-0-0-

Flor crashed into the ground, digging up a bunch of roots until he hit a tree.

"Why that piece of-" Flor couldn't even finish before being blasted by dark energy.

"What are you doing to the planet!" Flor turned to the sky to see Axis floating overhead.

"What does it look like? I'm making sure that plants become the dominant species on Earth, creator." Flor looked up at Axis.

"You were a mistake." Axis said as he shot more dark blasts at the monster who dodged the attacks.

"You won't be able to dodge this." Flor felt a bullet sky through his torso. He turned to see Caste standing on a branch, aiming his sniper at him.

"You bastards don't know who you are messing with!" Flor yelled as he pulled his arms up.

Huge vines then escaped from the earth as they struck Axis and Caste, sending them falling to the ground.

"I died an easy death before. This time, I'm not going down so easily." Flor client he's his fist.

"Not if I can help it!" Red appeared, jumping over a branch, shooting bullets towards Flor.

"Ah, red ranger. I should've know you would come after him as well." Axis landed next to Red as he held his blaster up to his face.

"Looks like this is a gathering of enemies. I shall take you all out!" Flor launched his arm forward as a huge plant escaped from the ground and flew straight at the two. Flor then felt a bullet go through him again.

"Only I can take down the Red Ranger." Caste claimed as he aimed his sniper.

"Look ranger, I know we don't have the best of relationships right now but we both came here for the same reason. We can't let Flor take over the planet. We must come together. That includes the lowly wolf." Axis spoke with a loud voice.

"I heard that. And he's right. Only one person can take you down, and that's me. I can't do that if that bastard over there takes over the planet." Caste claimed as his minions appeared from behind him.

"This is the bastard that copied my appearance." Santi growled.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. That sort of applies here." Red turned to see Wes and Eric appear with their weapons pointed at Flor.

"Guess so." Red said as he lowered his blaster.

"Good. Now we can get down to sole real business." Axis snapped his fingers.

"Oh please. That flesh bag does have a point though." Flor chuckled as he lifted his arm. Vine came from the ground and wrapped into a cocoon. Other cocoon then burst open and out stepped a red ranger.

"Oh great. Another clone." Red rolled his eyes.

"Come at me if you dare." Flor cackled.

"Well then, I'll lead." Red shifted his shoulders as he prepared for battle.

"That's fine with me." Axis said.

"Really. I thought you would've argued with him. Whatever, let's do this." Caste aimed his weapon.

"Finally! I get to work with that hunk over there." Yui looked at Red who didn't pay attention to her.

"Eyes off my man." Yume claimed as she held her weapon out.

"Ready! Go!" Red yelled as he and the group dashed forward.

...

"Phew! That was hard!" Navy yawned.

"Well then, let's get going everyone. With all of us combined, Flor will be taken down easily." Lion fist pumped the air.

"So you guys are 17, 18, and 19 huh?" Panther asked.

"Yea. What's it to you." Lion pumped his chest forward.

"Guys, we need to figure out a way to break those cocoons. There's way more than just the people that came with us." Pink pointed upwards.

"Holy mother of Jesus." Gold looked as cocoons moved around.

"Well, we probably shouldn't do anything until we defeat Flor. You don't want them asking unnecessary questions, do you?" Snake held his arms behind his head.

"You're right. So how do we find Flor?" Silver asked.

As if by coincidence, Red came flying through the wall of the arena and rolled on the ground.

"Saul!" Dolphin ran over to him.

"You are an easy target." The Red Ranger clone claimed as he jumped through.

"Oh great, another red douchebag." Omega Alpha sighed.

"Shut up." Red groaned as he got up and ran at his clone.

The two clashed with their swords. Meanwhile, Axis and Caste came crashing into the arena along with Flor. The rangers watched in surprise.

"Get them!" Flor yelled as a bunch of jungle created Ravagers grew and ran at them. Santi, Yui and Yume jumped into battle.

"What are those three doing here?" Crimson asked.

"More fighting, less questions." Wes and Eric ran in shooting at the Ravagers.

"You heard the man." Lion pushed his fellow partners forward and jumped into battle.

"Wait, so we are all against Flor?" Blue asked.

"Pretty much." Red drop kicked his mirage.

The rangers all battled against the Ravagers. They each somehow found a way to work with their enemies. Black and Santi had good chemistry somehow. The girls all got along as their battles went swiftly. Flor was outnumbered as his Ravager army was depleted.

"We got it take him down before he gets the chance to spawn any more monsters." White yelled as he ran at Flor.

"Oh, I have one last trick up my sleeve." As Flor said that, a huge single vine came from out of where and brought something with it. White froze as Sakura was placed right in front of him. Another vine popped out and held Yuriko.

"Yuriko!" Navy and Silver both exclaimed.

"I found these dolls wandering the streets. I also found these guys but they won't be a problem anymore." Flor snapped his fingers and more vines moved from the trees, spitting out dead bodies.

"That's gross!" Black out his had up to his mouth guard.

"Those are Hunters goons." Yellow informed.

"Guess they couldn't make it far." Wes said as he aimed his weapon at Flor.

"Oh, don't you care what happens to these girls?" Flor asked and chuckled.

"Help us." Yuriko pleaded.

"I'm sorry for sneaking out Eddie." Sakura teared up as she felt the grip of the vine.

"I hold two dear precious human lives. If you want them to be saved, then I would back down now." Flor laughed.

"Using human hostages huh?" Axis was debating whether to attack or not.

"Those two lie at the bottom, their lives aren't worth shit. I don't care what happens to them." Caste aimed his sniper.

"No!" White, Silver and Navy yelled. Orange, Gold and Crimson shot at Caste.

"Master!" Yui and Santi ran to his side.

"I've got the power!" Flor held his head high. A red bullet was then shot into him. He began to feel real pain as he dropped to the ground. The vines snapped and the two girls fell. White and Navy caught them.

"Who... fucking... did that!" Flor's anger rose.

Everyone turned to where the bullet had come from. Red's mirage was stumbling backwards as electricity and sparks flew off him. He had a huge hole in his chest as he fell. Standing before them all was Rosé holding a blaster. Red held his side as he stood on one knee. The other three girls along with Teddy and Neo stood behind them.

"That's for trying to choke me you son of a bitch." Rosé let the blaster fall to her side.

"Wow, little church girl knows curse words. Didn't know that. You savage girl." Red stood up and grabbed the blaster from her hand.

"This can't be the end. An ending like this? Goldar!" Flor called out.

"Sorry, he's a little busy right now." Bat and Snake pointed behind themselves with their thumbs. Lion swung his lance around as he walked back to the group. Goldar fell to his knees as he burst into a bunch of plants.

"No! You will all pay!" Flor said as vines grabbed hold of him and pulled him into the ground.

The earth then began to tremble as the forest began to subside. Axis watched and quickly disappeared into a black cloud. Caste struggled to get up as he and his minions disappeared. Yume turned to see how Red got up and held Rosé in his arms. She frowned as she left.

"We're gonna die man!" Omega Alpha yelled. Everyone watched as the forest jungle combo completely disappeared.

Red pulled Rosé over to the other girls as he went into a defensive position. After a few minutes, they all fell onto the ground as the earth finished trembling. A thousand voices then filled the air as everyone turned to see a whole bunch of people free from their cocoons.

"Where am I!" Jungkook yelled.

"Mama! Papa!" Little Eduardo ran to his parents.

"Goodbye little one." Suga smiled.

"Look guys. It's the Power Rangers." V pointed out.

"And BLACKPINK?" Jimin scratched his head.

"It is BLACKPINK!" Nayeon's voice cut through the air.

"Other idols were stuck in there? Huh, who would've guessed." Teddy crossed his arms.

"Where are those other people from before?" Mina questioned.

"I don't know. I need to return this sweater to that boy, Anthony." Tzuyu claimed as she looked down at herself.

"Is it really over?" Wes asked.

"Looks like it. A little too quick, don't you think?" Eric asked the follow up question.

The ground then began to tremble once more. Everyone began panicking as huge vines escaped from the Forest and Jungle ecosystems. Above the city, the vines came together and formed a giant Flor.

"Spoke too soon." Green sighed.

"I'm not done yet rangers!" Flor roared as he began rampaging.

"Mick! Can you hear me!" Red called through the morpher.

"Guess the signal is still not working properly." Blue shook his head.

"Looks like we'll have to decide what zords battle." Red pulled out his battery.

"No need. We'll take care of this clown. But we will be needing two of your zords." Lion shook his finger quickly before putting up two fingers.

"Which ones?" Red asked.

"Panther and Dolphin." Bat answered as the three inserted their zords batteries into their morphers. They put in their codes and then pushed the zord button.

#017

#018

#019

Their batteries were quickly launched into the sky and flew out of the city.

~Elsewhere~

The lion battery flew towards the savanna. It flew towards a huge tower made of rock. It entered its entrance. From the darkness within, a pair of green eyes glowed. The roar of a king was heard as the Lion Zord jumped out.

Its body was a complete red and orange color with a big yellow mane that circled around its head. On it's side was the number 17 styled like a lion, just like on its corresponding rangers suit. It roared into the sky.

The bat battery flew to a cave on the side of a cliff. It entered the cave and a pair of red eyes glowed. With a swoosh, the Bat Zord flew out into the air.

It's body was black with a white underbelly. It's wings were actually like sharp blades on the sides. On each of its wings was the number 18 styled like a bat, just like on its corresponding rangers suit. It screeched as it spun around.

The snake battery flew towards a large burrow in the jungle. It entered the burrow and a pair of red eyes glowed. The Snake Zord then hissed as it slithered out of its burrow. Its head shifted in between different snake heads before settling on its main one.

The Snake Zord quickly became a train as it traveled at fast speeds. The Bat Zord flew above the snake as the Lion Zord ran next to it. It jumped onto the snake and they continued their journey.

~Beast City~

Flor continued his rampage before feeling the sting of a bunch of laser bullets. Flor turned around and watched as the Lion Zord jumped on him. The Bat Zord then appeared and slashed at Flor. The Snake Zord then lifted itself up as it became a snake again and it opened its mouth, firing lasers at the plant.

The Lion Zord roared as its mane began to spin. A huge flame was emitted and it began to burn Flor. Flor fell to the ground.

"Time for the real show!" Lion, Bat and Snake launched themselves into the air with their feet. They entered the cockpits of their zords and input their sabers into place.

"Shall we." Bat gripped his steering wheel and began moving it. The Bat Zord brought its wings into its body as it spun around. It then slashed at Flor with its wings which popped out. Snake then hissed as its head transformed into the head of a King Cobra.

"Try not to get confused." Snake chuckled as the zords head began moving from side to side. "How's this for a mirage!" Snake said as the zord split into various zords surrounding the monster. The zords opened their mouths and shot out lasers that hurt Flor.

"Well guys, I think it's time. Panther, Dolphin, if you could please." Lion waved his hand in front of him. He then pulled out a combination battery and inserted it into his control panel. He then punched in the combo code along with the other zord codes.

The zords roared as they tried to come together but they repelled each other.

"What the hell!" Lion yelled. He then looked over at a computer screen that was present in his cockpit. It lit up with a red error message.

"Time to end this." Flor held his hand out and shot thorns at the zords. The zords roared in pain.

"What's wrong?" Snake asked.

"It's says we are missing a component." Lion smacked his dashboard.

"What component?" Bat panicked.

Vines slowly began wrapping themselves around the zords. The zords struggled to get up. Everyone on the ground watched in defeat. Jisoo then felt the presence of someone else within her.

"Summon your beast." The voice from before said to her. Jisoo's eyes glowed as she looked over at the eagle from before flying around. Jisoo turned to face it. Neo appeared behind her and watched. He opened his book as text appeared.

"The time for rejoicing comes near." Neo smiled crazily. Jisoo then lifted her hand up and blew a kiss in the direction of the eagle. A zord battery appeared from thin air and flew towards the eagle.

As the battery collided with the eagle, it glowed a bright pink color and transformed into a giant robot. Jisoo winked and the zord within the light appeared. It was the Eagle Zord. It screeched as it flapped its wings. It's green eyes glowed.

The zord was a black and pink color. A black upper body and a pink underbelly. It had two number 20s styled like eagles on its wings. It spread its wings and flew towards the battle.

"Ha Ha Ha- what!" Flor was surprised by an attack from the Eagle Zord.

Flor stumbled back as the zord flew like a jet. It then ripped the vines away from the other zords. The zords all got up and roared. Lion looked over at his computer screen to see a green "ok" sign light up.

"The Eagle Zord? But where did it come from?" Red looked around.

"Queen Jisoo. You truly are a goddess and a queen of visuals. You are worthy of my king." Neo smiled as he bowed a bit.

"Ok! Let's try this one more time!" The Lion Zord roared as all the zords came together. Lion pushed a few buttons on his control panel and the zords began the combining process.

The Lion Zord roared as it jumped up into the air. It's head shifted towards its underbelly, right over its chest. A small head popped up where the Lions head used to be. It's legs were detached. Bat and Dolphin both led their zords towards the lion. The Bat Zord brought its wings into its body as it attached itself to the Lion Zords right side, its head shifting off to the side as a hand came out. The Dolphin Zord's tail was brought into its body as it attached itself onto the Lion Zords left side, its head shifting off to the side as a hand came out. The Panther Zord was running before shifting its body upwards and leaving its head on the ground. It attached itself to the Lion Zord and became the right leg. The Snake Zord slithered over and lifted its body up while keeping its head down on the ground. It attached itself to the Lion Zord and became the left Eagle Zord came flying down in an attacking position. It grabbed the zords arms, its talons pointing outwards, sitting atop the shoulders and the torso. The robots big arms were now trapped in between the talons as the zords body attached to the robots back, adding a pair of wings that flowed down its back, looking like a cape. The eagle head then attached itself to the smaller Megazord head, becoming a helmet. The small metallic face was fully silver with green eyes.

Inside the cockpit, which was located in the lion head on the chest, landed the rangers who put their swords into their control panels. The Lion Ranger sat up front and center. The Panther Ranger sat behind him, slightly elevated as the Bat Ranger sat to his right and the Snake Ranger sat to his left. Behind them, elevated a little more higher, sat Dolphin. Next to Dolphin was an empty seat.

"Eco Strike Megazord Ready!" The rangers said simultaneously as the Megazord posed in front of the Animal Strike symbol and in front of a backdrop of the Earth.

"We did it!" Lion fist pumped the air as he stood up and admired the combo.

"Why is there an empty seat. If the Eagle Zord is active, shouldn't that mean that the Eagle Ranger is active?" Dolphin asked.

"I'm curious as well but as for now, we got a monster to defeat." Panther said as he tensed his shoulders and gripped the steering wheel, moving his fingers in a wave motion as his grip got tighter.

"Well then, let's not waste any more time." Lion said as he spun his arm around while holding his shoulder before finally settling his fingers on the steering wheel.

"You think you can defeat me with that?" Flor scoffed.

"Yes. Yes we do." Snake claimed as he hit it. The Megazord turned its foot around and launched itself forward.

It kneed Flor in the face as it ran. The robot then grabbed the plant and punched him with its free arm. Flor stumbled back before launching vines at the robot, capturing it. The robot looked up at Flor before activating its wings. The cape that flowed behind the robot turned sharp all of a sudden as it attached to the robots arms. The robot pumped its arms into the air as the wings on its arms cut the vines.

"I'm always down for an easy win." Bat voiced. Lion looked at Bat over his shoulder and hummed before taking out a finishing battery.

He insisted it into the panel and input a code. The Megazord's eyes glowed as it flapped its wings and flew into the air. Flor looked at the giant robot as it flew around him.

"This ain't happening." Flor said as he began to run towards the robot. The robot then spun around and was now coming towards Flor. It was charging up in a bunch of different colors.

"Finishing Strike!" They all yelled, "United Eco Strike!" They yelled as the robot pointed its wings forward.

"This isn't the end!" Flor jumped and held his arms out as the Megazord crashed into the monster. Flor was sent flying back and blew up as It's remind entered the Jungle Ecosystem.

"Yes! Finally! Our first Megazord battle is done and we won!" Lion cheered. Everyone chuckled but Dolphin kept looking at the empty seat.

On the ground, everyone cheered as the Megazord stood still, above the city. Jisoo smirked as her eyes returned to normal. Neo also smirked as he closed his book.

...

Deep in the jungle, a huge flower began to decrease in size as it hid itself behind a wall of leaves. It trembled a little as it settled down between a rose and a sakura flower. It glowed as it fell into deep slumber.

Axis sat in his chair, drinking a glass of wine. He looked over the city which currently had a ton of city workers doing their best to fix the damage caused by the events of the last few days. The moon light entered his office as the lights of the constrictions workers lit up the city. The door the opened behind him and in steeped three figures.

"After examining Flor, I believe the rangers will learn from him. They will get stronger and will most definitely becoming a bigger threat to my plan. It is time for the Black Label to begin its accession. You three know your mission." Axis spun around in his chair and crossed his right leg over his left leg.

In front of Axis' desk, stood Somi, Loren and Vince. They held switches similar to the ones that Byxis made. They were all black with golden accents. A big red button with the initials, "B.L." on it. They all got down on one knee and lowered their gazes to the ground.

"Understood. All for Master Axis." The three said. Axis laughed as he swirled the wine in his cup. Zaku, Byxis and Raiyu appeared behind the three artists.

Axis could only laugh more as it turned into an evil cackle. His eyes glowing red as he continued.

"So Flor captured you guys before you could even come here?" Kai asked the newly arrived masters who sat on their thrones.

"Look man, it was a pretty rough few weeks, I'd like some rest please." Cloak said as he slid down on his throne, trying to sleep.

"It was really tiring. I'm really drowsy." Iruka held her head.

"Look, I'm like so down to talk and all but, even I'm tired. And I like to party all day and night. Just let me rest." King sighed as he closed his eyes and got comfortable.

"Well, I'm going to look for some things out in the plains. If you need me, don't." Kiba scowled as he left the throne circle.

"Well, I'm also going to the plains. I need to really heighten up my hunting instincts." Fangs smiled and gave two thumbs up before cracking his muscles and walking out.

"Argh!" Kai shot out a fireball with anger.

"What's wrong Kai?" Niji asked.

"Nothing. I just feel like," Kai hesitated, "like our end is near." Kai whispered.

"Talk about a drama Queen am I right?" Horn held up his hand and Delta gave him five.

"This is so cool!" Roberto said as he placed his face on the window that looked into the Zord Bay.

"Could you please refrain from putting your face on the windows." Mick pulled him back slightly.

"What are you doing?" David asked Cynthia who seemed busy working on some zipper hoodies.

"This is the team uniform. Cynthia is making sure everyone has one. She is basing the design off of Saul's hoodie." Jazmine informed as she pat the boys shoulder.

"I still can't believe you are a ranger." Osvaldo grabbed David.

"Same here big bro." David crossed his arms and grinned.

"Wait, you guys are brothers?" Jason asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Yup. You got mini me," Juan grabbed Osvaldos face, "and Mini Manny." Juan chuckled.

"Stop calling us that!" The two brothers yelled.

"This is a very interesting place." Daniel looked around.

"Yup. I was surprised as well. I like it though." Matthew nodded.

"Well I'm surprised that I have an aunt I never heard about." Daniel looked over at Saki.

"Well I'm surprised that you are the nephew of Saul and his cousins." Sakura shared.

"Where is Saul?" Steel asked. Behind him, Osvaldo and David began fighting Juan.

...

Jennie and Lisa slept soundly on Saul's bed as he and Rosé played the guitar quietly. Rosé would sing while Saul strummed and sometimes she would strum along.

"You play so beautifully." Rosé commented and Saul smiled.

"Not really." Saul strummed random notes while Rosé watched him.

"You know your stuff." Rosé kicked Saul's chair playfully.

"Don't start a fight you won't win." Saul shook his head.

"Come on. I'm tough." Rosé held up her arm and flexed which made Saul laugh. Rosé pout and Saul just kept laughing.

"Stop, you are going to wake up Jennie and Lisa." Rosé continued pouting.

"Rosie." Rosé looked at Saul straight in the eyes as he stopped laughing, "Don't ever, ever try something like that. You put yourself in danger twice. Twice! I don't know what I would do if any of you got hurt. Please, leave this to us. It's our job. Your job is to entertain the world. You, Jennie, Lisa and Jisoo. You girls have worked so hard to achieve your dreams. Keep doing what you do best. Make everyone smile. Make the world smile." Saul sat back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling.

Rosé looked at Saul who seemed to let himself drift off into his own thoughts. He was always cold and menacing. How can someone change so suddenly? Rosé smiled. She wasn't complaining. She looked over at the two sleeping members who were cuddling in their sleep.

"Where's Jisoo by the way?" Rosé asked. Saul looked back down at her. He looked around the room and shrugged.

...

Above the base, on a tall tree that looked towards the city, stood a figure. It walked out and held onto the tree as it looked at the lights of the city sparkle. The figure walked forward and was revealed in the moonlight. It was a Ranger. A female Ranger. The final Ranger.

Her suit was black from her shoulders down to her arms, sides and legs. Her main torso was pink colored with a sort of feather design. Her helmet was shaped like an eagle's head. The helmets color was pink with four black lines going around it. There are black eyes on the top of each side of the helmet and there was a small beak sticking out of the front of the helmet. The visor was black and looked like a eagles mouth when open with a sort of "v" shape. In the middle of the suit was the outline of an eagle head along with an eagle styled number 20. She had different colored boots with silver collars. The right boot was pink and the left boot was black. She wore a silver colored belt with a silver belt buckle. Her suit was also like the suits of the other girls, in which it had a skirt. On her back were black and pink colored wings that could attach to her arms and allow for flight. In the middle of the buckle was the Animal Strike logo along with her number 20. She also had holsters. In the right holster was her Strike Blaster and in the left holster was her Striker Saber. On her wrist was her morpher, in its rest state.

"New Ranger, in your area." She said as her visor glowed a pinkish color. She turned around and quickly disappeared into the jungle.

Neo then appeared on the small viewing area that the base had on its rooftop. The base used to be used for war but was just left behind when they didn't need it. It was connected to a cave and the main building was tall. On top, where Neo was, was a small viewing area of the city that Mikey and the others cleaned. There was outdoor furniture as well a garden and a roof that had a see through barrier over it.

"My queen. You are truly worthy of my king. Now we await the awakening of the others." Neo smirked as he turned around and used his scarf to disappear.

A/N: Yo what up guys. I'm writing this just to inform you about my month long absence. To be honest, for the entire month of January, I was suffering from writers block. With work piling up on me, I found it hard to be able to write. Now I can safely say, that I was able to finish this and I will be working hard. It may not be entirely good but I still hope you like it. I like it. Anyways, thanks for reading and supporting the story and stick around because things can only get crazier.

Bye! Adios! Sayonara! Annyeong! Ciao!
