Interlude:

Sebastian: Ok, what the hell just happened?!

Neo: It seems my queens identity has been exposed. My king surely is magnificent for figuring it out.

Sebastian: So, Jisoo is the Eagle Ranger and we've been fighting against her without knowing it.

Neo: She's only become the Eagle Ranger recently. I believe she started showing signs when Flor attacked but these signs may go back farther.

Sebastian: And you didn't care to share with the group?

Neo: Why should I? It doesn't concern you.

Mikey: I'm pretty sure it concerns all of us.

Eduardo: Damn, one of Saul's big time crushes is fighting us.

Marco: You hate to see it.

Sebastian: Oh~ Chul.

Neo: Besides that, let's return to this story.

Sebastian: We can't avoid this Neo!

All: Ay Caramba!

Chapter 34: Tanks for the Memories

"Tsume!" Kai ran across the rocky, barren wasteland that was covered in a dark blue sky.

He groaned as he looked around, looking for someone. It should be easy to find anyone out here but since it is the Spirit World, anyone could be hiding anywhere. Kai spent five more minutes looking around before sitting on a rock. He looked over the land below the hill he sat upon.

He watched as Spirit Animals ran across the plains. He saw others hanging under trees as lightning filled the sky. He sighed before feeling the presence of a new figure around him.

"Tsume." He didn't turn as he kept an eye on a tiger climbing one of the tallest trees on the plains.

"Hello, my love." Tsume walked up to him and appeared next to him.

"What are you doing with Jisoo?" Kai went straight to the point, making Tsume sigh.

"I'm using her. Obviously. Your warrior isn't even a warrior. I can sense his rage. His anger with the world. And he doesn't even know what he truly is. But you know, don't you." Tsume crossed her arms with a smirk and looked down at Kai who grit his teeth.

"That doesn't mean you get to use Jisoo like that. She has nothing to do with Saul." Kai said through his teeth.

"You're lying through your teeth, literally. You think no one knows what you did one that fateful day. The day Saul saved those four from Caste." Tsume spoke down to him. "I know what Jisoo's true feelings are for that boy. And let me tell your It's interesting. But no matter what, she'll do anything for her "sisters" because they are like her family. Even if she has to kill, she'll do it for them." Tsume chuckled.

"Tsume! You're crazy!" Kai stood up.

"I'm not crazy. The one who's crazy was the one who left me waiting for five hours in the cold rain when he said he would come. When he said he would never abandon me. That's who's crazy. Now watch as your pathetic warrior falls!" Tsume pushed against him and disappeared into nothingness.

"Dammit!" Kai slammed his fist on the ground.

Farther away, Delta and Horn watched.

"Girls, am I right." Horn shook his head.

"Tell me about it." Delta said as he held up his fist, to which Horn responded using his own fist.

The sound of tapping began to annoy the soon-to-be K-Pop idol. Saki clicked her tongue as she placed a photo into a book. With a satisfied grin, she flipped the page. With the tapping continuing, Saki finally snapped. She slammed her hand onto Anthony's hand, almost breaking his finger.

"Ow! What the fuck was that for?!" Anthony asked.

"You're being annoying!" Saki rolled her eyes.

"I'm sensing a bit of anger in your tone. Is there something wrong, besides my endless thirst for Morph X." Steel walked over to table in the command center.

"It's just... I'm worried. About the whole Jisoo thing. Like, is she really a Ranger?" Saki asked.

"The girls said that she hasn't shown up at their dorm since that incident. It's been a week and we can't even find her." Alicia cut in.

"Don't worry girls, I'm sure Saul is doing everything in his power to find her." Mick reassured the group.

"That may be true, but there's more questions to be asked. How long has she been a Ranger? What are her intentions? Who gave her, her powers." Mikey questioned.

"Well, to answer the last question, only a master can give a Ranger their powers in this instance." Mick answered.

"That's true. So that means the Eagle master gave Jisoo her powers. But why?" Cynthia sat back in her seat.

"Another question." Mikey groaned.

"Maybe we can talk to the girls. There would have had to be a point in time when she started acting weird. Maybe we can start from there. Find out when and where she got her powers." Juan chimed in.

"I'm pretty sure a point was when she was making out with Saul." Anthony put his feet on the table as he leaned back on his chair.

"You hate to admit when the stupid ones right." Cynthia sighed.

"What?!" Anthony almost fell off his chair.

"Where is Saul by the way?" Juan asked Mick.

"I wish I knew." Mick claimed, knowing full well where Saul was gone. With that, he took a glance at the locked door and then went towards the consoles to begin Zord maintenance.

Meanwhile, in what Saul has called the Grid Vault, Saul stood by the console replaying events of evil rangers from the past. From the original green Ranger to the White Dino Thunder Ranger. Any Ranger who has turned from bad to good were on Saul's list as he studied their personalities.

"Tommy Oliver. Mighty Morphin Green Ranger." Saul said as he typed in a date and time, looking through archive footage of the original Green Ranger.

He saw as the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger fought against the original team of rangers, even going as far as jumping onto their Megazord and beating them out of it.

"He was being mind controlled by Rita Repulsa. But when the rangers destroyed the sword of darkness, Tommy was freed of Rita's spell. This is something but I don't think Jisoo is being controlled by any weapon. Unless her Eagle Slicer is spelled. Next." Saul took down the archive footage.

He quickly typed in another date and time as well as a Ranger team. He quickly pulled up the grid archive footage for the Lightspeed Rescue rangers.

"Ryan Mitchell. Titanium Ranger." Saul said to himself as he watched the Titanium Ranger battle the Red Lightspeed Ranger. "Thanks to Diabolico, he became an enemy to the rangers and to his own family."

Saul continued watching footage of the Titanium Ranger in action, being fooled by Diabolico into thinking that his father rejected him favoring his sister.

Saul thought, "In the end, Ryan was able to recall his memories and realize that Diabolico had been using him. He rejected Diabolico's control after that. This won't help. Jisoo could've been poisoned in the mind but why? There's nothing that anyone could use against her. Unless it has something to do with the other girls."

Saul continued on his research. He typed into the computer again and pulled up a profile of someone who was familiar to him.

"Eric Myers. Oh great." He sighed.

He pulled up footage of the Quantum Ranger battling the villain Brickneck. Using the Quantum Defender to its full potential, the Quantum Ranger proved to be one of the best.

Saul began to think, "Eric wasn't necessarily evil. It was more like he was an arrogant jerk who didn't think about anything else besides getting the mission done by any means necessary. Asshole."

...

On the other side of the city, the trucks of the Silver Guardians were moving through the city on their way to the base they set up in the city. Inside the leading truck, Eric began to sneeze badly.

"Woah, Eric. What's wrong? You got allergies or something?" Wes asked his partner.

"Of course I don't. I think someone's talking about me." Eric claimed before sneezing again.

...

"Next up, Hunter and Blake Bradley." Saul pulled up footage of the two thunder rangers fighting against the wind rangers.

"These two were also tricked into believing in a false lie. They thought that the wind rangers Sensei was the reason for their parents deaths so they attacked thewind rangers out of revenge. Yet in the end, they were brought back to the light. Again, Jisoo doesn't seem to have been tricked into believing a false lie but who knows."

"Next! Trent Fernandez-Mercer." Saul said as he pulled up footage of the infamous White Ranger battling against the main three Dino rangers in a city plaza.

"Now this is interesting. Trent was being controlled by the White Dino Gem. Not even he himself saw it coming went he went full-on evil. Maybe that's it. Maybe Jisoo's animal spirit is contaminated with some sort of curse or something. Yea, it could definitely be infected with something evil. Maybe even be an evil spirit in itself. I have questions Kai." Saul thought intensely. He then began conducting research on the White Dino Ranger, hoping to find something that will help him.

"I can't believe it! Three new generals!" Zaku roared.

"Shut your trap. That just means more contenders in this race to be more powerful. I'll win for sure, then I'll be able to do what I was meant to." Raiyu chuckled to himself.

"Axis has some nerve to bring them in." Zaku snarled at the thunder creature.

"I feel so welcomed. What about you boys." The two turned to see Semilus along with the two others.

"What are you doing here?" Zaku questioned, "more importantly, who are you."

"That's none of your concern." Vixarus' voice boomed.

"Ah, come on. Don't be so harsh on them." Lozari chuckled.

"What do you three want?" Raiyu asked.

"We're here to make sure the next plan to defeat the rangers doesn't go horribly wrong." Vixarus scoffed.

"Ha, you dare scoff at us. You think you can do better." Zaku snarled.

"So what's your plan?" Semilus asked.

"He's here~!" Byxis' voice cut in. They all turned to see Byxis arrive with something, or someone, behind him.

"He?" Lozari crossed his arms.

"The names Contank and I'm here to collect some precious memories." His body was bulky and fully armored. He was colored in a variety of dark green colors, almost looking as if he wore camouflage. He had shoulder pads with three small canons on each shoulder. On his arms, he carried two huge barrels that resembled a tanks barrel. On its knees, it contained what looked like machine gun barrels. On his chest, he had a huge tank barrel as well. Finally, he had red colored eyes and he wore a helmet that had a smaller tank barrel on top of it, topping off the look of a military commander he had going.

"Collect memories? What kind of power is that? How would that even work?" Lozari snort out a laugh.

"Let me show you!" Contank aimed his left arm towards Lozari. Suddenly, the cat like beast stood straight. Contank laughed as he shot a huge orange sphere towards Lozari. Striking him.

While this didn't launch Lozari back, it did do something to him that no one would believe. A green sphere was shot out of his body and Contank aimed his right arm towards the sphere. He then sucked in the sphere.

The sphere then came out of his chest as he grabbed it with his right hand. He held it up and laughed evilly as everyone looked. Lozari then began to scream as he fell to the floor and began to slide back.

"What's wrong with him?" Vixarus unsheathed his huge blade. It was black in color with a dark green handle.

"Calm down. I just took his memories. It's my power. Now, normally, someone would be scared, as proven by you friend there. But if I shoot them with false memories, as my other power permits." Contank aimed his left arm and shot out a red sphere that hit Lozari.

"What's happening! What is this!" Lozari screamed. He then stopped and began to huff. "Vixarus! You little traitor!" Lozari got up and charged at Vixarus who held up his blade and smacked him back.

"What did you do!" Semilus yelled with fury.

"I implanted a memory of Vixarus betraying his trust. In your human forms of course. Men get quite angry when their woman is tempted by another man." Contank laughed.

"Woman? What are you talking about?" Semilus walked up to Contank.

"Just put everything back to the way it was. Give him his memories. Vixarus commanded.

"Sure thing." Contank aimed his his left arm and armed it with the green sphere. He then shot it at Lozari who calmed down after the red sphere exited his body and exploded.

"Lozari, are you ok?" Semilus ran over to him.

"You've proven your power. Now go and destroy the rangers." Zaku commanded the tank monster.

"With pleasure." Contank bowed and left the room.

"So exciting!" Byxis jumped around, cackling.

~2 years ago~

The plane landed back in Seoul. After a quick perimeter check, and making sure that there were no reporters, Yuki gave Saul the green light. Saul glared at him and Yuki groaned, moving towards all entrances. It was then he noticed the ocean of reporters waiting. He returned to Saul who had his arms crossed while the girls giggled and grabbed their luggage. Sakura was just as annoyed as Saul.

"So." Saul tapped his foot.

"There's, like, this whole group of reporters waiting outside." Yuki said nervously.

"Really? What a shock." Saul said with a sarcastic tone as he rolled his eyes, grabbing his bag.

The group began to walk to the entrance and ended up being photographed before stopping as YG's guards surrounded them. Saul squinted his eyes as he looked at each photographer trying to get into the airport.

"This is getting worse and worse every time." Saul turned his head to see a nervous looking man looking at the crowd.

"I should've known this would happen." Saul turned the other way and saw another man. Both men seemed to be in their late thirties.

"Hey, I think those are Twice and Red Velvet's managers." Saki whispered to the group. She looked around and farther back, said groups were standing around, being guarded by their managers and security guards.

"What's up Sakura?" Yuki called out to his sister who motioned the group to follow her. They went over to the two other idol groups who looked restless.

"Hey girls. What's wrong." Rosé greeted the two groups of girls.

"Our managers won't let us leave yet because there's too many reporters." Nayeon answered first.

"It's not just that. That's natural. There's too many fans this time. Knowing that three girl groups just arrived back in Korea has really brought everyone out." Irene crossed her arms.

"That hurts!" Everyone turned to see Saul keeping Yuki in a headlock. The younger boy struggled as Saul held him in place. Watching Yuki squirm, Sakura glared at Saul. She quickly did two steps in place before unleashing her right foot upon Saul's bottom.

"Yah!" Saul yelled as he jumped up in the air and fell onto the ground, holding his ass as he groaned.

"Thanks sis." Yuki was getting his breath back with Saki helping him.

"What the hell is your problem." Sakura asked Saul who stood up, scratching his lose afterwards.

"Bleh!" Saul yelled at her.

"Who is that?" Jihyo asked the group.

"That's our manager." Lisa said shyly.

"He's your manager?!" All the girls exclaimed.

"His name is Saul. Our CEO thought he was the perfect choice, but he's kind of having some, problems." Jisoo explained.

"Ever since we landed in Japan, you've been acting like an asshole!" Sakura yelled.

"And before you ask. That's his assistant, Sakura." Rosé informed. "The other two are Yuki, Sakura's brother and Saki, Saul's sister."

"I remember meeting Sakura and Yuki during that whole jungle situation. Which is still-" Momo began but Jihyo shut her up.

"No need to remember such a tragedy." Jihyo smiled brightly.

"Well well well, look what we have here. Hotties." Saul smirked. All the girls in the vicinity blushed but felt uncomfortable.

"Saul!" Sakura grabbed his ear and twisted it.

"Oi Oi Oi!" Saul let out as he began to squirm, his ear turning a bright red color the more Sakura twisted it.

"What are you doing!" Saul yelled. Sakura finally let him go and he fell onto his ass again. "Ow! Where the hell am I?"

"South Korea. Where else?!" An irritated Sakura let out a huff of air.

"She used to be nicer." Yuki muttered.

"Huh? When did we get back from Japan. The last thing I remember was," Saul stopped and came to a realization. "Raul." He muttered out, knowing full well he fell asleep for a nap two nights ago after hanging with the girls all day.

"Way to make a first impression." Sakura muttered.

"Ah. I'm sorry for anything I did that was out of character. Must've been the bad jokbal, whatever the hell that is." Saul said as an excuse.

"Jokbal!" Saul turned and was faced with Momo who was extremely close. Saul backed his head back with wide eyes, scared of the death grip this girl now had on his arm.

"Ah! Momo, you're gonna kill him." Jihyo scolded as everyone watched Saul turning red. He didn't know if it was because of Momo pushing her body onto him or if it was the fact he was running out of air.

"Oh! Sorry!" Momo let go of the boy who fell to the floor for the third time, finally taking in the air necessary to breath. Everyone let out a small giggle but one caught their attention as they all looked at Jennie who was looking at her phone.

Saul got up and walked up behind her. Not wanting to invade her privacy, he glanced at her phone quickly, seeing that she was texting someone. He then looked at her side profile, admiring her beauty. He smiled.

"Whatcha laughing at!" He said loudly which made Jennie flinch. Saul caught her phone when it flew into the air. He chuckled and looked at the phone which was turned off.

"Yah! What was that for!" She tried to grab her phone only for Saul to dodge her attempt.

Saul then ran in a circle around everyone with Jennie chasing him. The girls all laughed at their antics.

"Wow, your manager is fun." Sana admired the boy who ran from the furious cat-eyed girl.

"He sure is." Jisoo smiled as she also admired Saul.

"Who were you texting, bestie!" Saul laughed evilly as he tried to guess her password.

"Bestie?" Joy questioned.

"According to Jennie, those two are besties forever." Rosé giggled and shook her head.

"I think I almost got it!" Saul continued typing in random numbers. Yuki smirked after Saul made another lap and by the next one, held his leg out.

Saul ran around again and tripped on Yuki's leg, making him fall face first onto the hard floor. He managed to keep the phone from smashing onto the ground as he held it up.

"Saul!" The three other girls of BLACKPINK were shocked. Sakura clicked her tongue and Saki shook her head.

"Thank you, bestie." Jennie took the phone from Saul's hand. "And thank you, Yuki." Jennie playfully winked at the boy who blushed. Saki clicked her tongue next and stepped on his foot which made him wince in pain.

"Ok, stop playing around. We need to leave but first we must figure out how to get past the reporters." Sakura crossed her arms. They all gathered in a circle and thought of a plan.

Sakura spoke with the other managers and security teams and they motioned for the girls to follow them to a private room and hopefully wait out the paparazzi.

"Yea... your plan isn't gonna work out." Saul said as he stood up to see the paparazzi teams burst into the airport, all looking desperate for photos.

"Everyone hurry!" Sakura commanded.

*screams*

Saul turned his head as did everyone else. The paparazzi immediately abandoned their mission and began to flee.

"What's happening?!" Yuki looked around panicked.

"That!" Saul motioned with his finger. The boy along with Saki looked in horror as Wolf-like beasts came running from within and outside the airport.

"M-monsters?!" Yuki and Saki began to back up.

"Protect the girls!" A manager yelled and the idols were backed up to where Saki and Yuki were. The managers held their ground but as the Wolf men got closer...

"This isn't worth it!" One of them yelled and began to run. The other managers followed, positing the idols to the side not even giving them chance to escape as they were trapped by the luggage collection belts and the running crowds.

"Stay here and don't move!" Sakura commanded each and every female idol as she, Yuki and Saki moved to form a circle around them.

"Sorry to say this sis, but I'm scared shitless and I don't think we can stop those things." Yuki said with fear laced in his voice.

"It's ok. At least it's better than those pussies." Sakura said, mentioning the runaway managers and security teams.

"We need to get out of here!" Saki claimed.

"We can't. It's too risky. Too many crowds running and too many monsters already near us. We could get caught. The girls could get caught. We could all get hurt. Any of us could be abducted. Especially the girls. There's too much confusion." Sakura looked around for any possible exits.

"Well, we need a plan!" Yuki yelled.

"Saul, you have any suggestions?" Sakura turned towards Saul's direction only to find no one there. "Where the hell did he go?!" Sakura yelled. Everyone turned to see him gone.

"Over there!" Saki yelled.

Saul was seen running past the running crowds before boosting himself up into the air. Doing a front flip, Saul kicked a monster back into the group behind it. He smirked and he put his fists up.

"Come at me." He said as his eyes gave a red glow.

"There's nothing here." Jonathan let out a sigh as the group of rangers regrouped in the living room of the penthouse owned by BLACKPINK.

"She left no trace of herself. The only things we can use to find her are her clothes and plushies. And that's stuffs not even useful." Eduardo groaned. Sakura smacked his head and rolled her eyes.

"What's Jason doing?" Roberto asked as they looked at Jason who sat on the couch while holding a bunny plushie owned by Jisoo.

"He's using this new ability we discovered that we call Storm Search. Since we studied at the Thunder Ninja Academy, we are experts in using the same abilities as any Thunder ninja. This ability allows us to use the clouds in the atmosphere to track anything down. Of course, it's more effective when thunderstorms are occurring and a little less effective during regular cloudy days. And useless on totally sunny days." Jonathan said looking out at the broken clouds over Beast City.

"Nothing! There's nothing!" Jason let out with frustration. He then began to focus again.

"Well, that way looks like a bust. What are you doing little bro." Osvaldo turned to David who typed away at his computer.

"I'm trying to trace Jisoo using anything in the city for leverage including her phone. Well, until I found her phone in her room. I'm using the city wide camera and traffic light systems to find her. And if that doesn't work, I'll just hack one of NASA's satellites." David said in a natural tone.

"Hack?" Osvaldo raised an eyebrow.

"Your brother learned how to hack a lot of things before we even became rangers." Daniel ate his bag of chips as he watched TV.

"Doubt he could hack into the satellite before I can." Matthew claimed as he typed quickly on his laptops keyboard.

"Is that a bet?" David stuck his tongue out to the side as he became extremely focused on a new task, hacking a satellite.

"Do you girls have any idea where Jisoo would go?" Sakura asked, ignoring the two boys.

"Yea. Maybe that can help in the search." Jazmine stood up next to Sakura.

"No. I mean, I doubt she'd go somewhere that's out in the open." Lisa answered.

"She's right. Jisoo is smart." Jennie followed.

"Where's Rosie by the way?" Sakura asked.

"She and Saki are searching the new YG building." Lisa sighed.

"Don't worry Lili. We'll find her." Jennie hugged the younger girl.

"I just hope she's ok." Lisa said as tears began to form in her eyes.

"She's ok Lisa. Don't worry. I'm sure we'll find her. I trust everyone. I... I trust Saul." Jennie said as she buried her face into Lisa's shoulders as her own tears threatened.

Everyone looked over at them feeling terrible. The two feuding boys looked at each other and nodded. They then picked up their phones and dialed numbers.

Marco, Luis and Darell arrived back to Marco's white Mitsubishi Eclipse. As they did, Marco's phone rang. He quickly answered it, seeing Matthew's caller ID.

"Yo, what's up." He answered as the three boys stood by the car in the parking lot of the beach.

"Have you guys had any luck?" Matthew asked over the phone.

"Nah man. She ain't at the beach. Or at their old house. Or at any of the parks in the city. Or at any restaurants. She's no where." Marco let out a frustrated sigh. The other two shared his frustrated sigh. "Anything from the others?"

"Mikey's team just returned to base but are heading out again. Mick keeps looking for any cluesusing his knowledge of the spirit world. Saki and Rosé are still at YG. Sebastian and Neo are scouringrooftops and investigating high end buildings to see if any of them hold any clues. They are currently at the Dior offices here in the city considering Jisoo is one of their models, or so I read. And Saul is God knows where. We're still here at the BP penthouse dorm." Matthew informed.

"Well, we've been looking for two days already and nothing. Shouldn't we teleport to another part of the world. I mean, we have that ability don't we?" Marco began to tap his foot impatiently.

"Yea, maybe she's in Paris. Didn't she love the Eiffel Tower or something?" Luis commented.

"Or maybe she's in Korea. Probably missed her home country." Darell added on.

"No. She should still be in the city. Jason said that he used his Storm Search ability two days ago when the clouds were really dark, almost looking like thunderstorm clouds and said that he could feel her aura or something in the city. And the last sign of her were pictures taken by some fans here in the city somewhere near YG and then somewhere near Dior. Honestly, those may have been to throw us off but there's no way she'd just go somewhere else in the world." Matthew began to sound irritated.

"Can't we use the zords to search?" Darell asked.

"Yea." Luis snapped his fingers as he agreed.

"We could. Although it wouldn't be wise. Who knows what Jisoo would do if she saw us coming." Matthew sighed. "Plus, the Tiger Zord is already out looking for her. According the Jennie, who can understand the zords, at least the Tiger Zord, said that the Zord claimed to be worried for Jisoo and took off to find her. Mick still doesn't know how it escaped the bunker." Matthew informed.

"Well, at least we have him looking." Luis crossed his arms.

"Well, I guess we'll head to the zoo next. Who knows, maybe she went to see a turtle or a rabbit." Marco rolled his eyes, tired from having searched so much that the first two animals to come to him were that of a tale.

"Got it. I'll keep in touch." Matthew hung up afterwards and the three guys nodded their heads as they opened the doors to the car.

As they got in, the sounds of ear piercing screams were heard. The three stood tall as they looked over towards the farther end of the beach's parking lot where a basketball court was located next to a walking path that led into a small walkway full off stores.

"Those don't sound like screams of joy." Darell told the other two. The slammed the doors of the car and ran towards the direction, running through the crowd running in the opposite direction.

"Now! I'll take your memories next." Contank aimed his arm at a young man who sat against a pole, trying to protect himself. Contank shot him with an orange sphere, causing a green sphere to eject from the man. "Perfect memories. Oh so many memories of the beach. Delicious. Anyways, let's not leave as a mindless scaredy cat, take this!" Contank shot the man with a red sphere.

The sphere entered the man's chest and the energy spread throughout his entire body. He immediately growled as he stood up and smirked as he began to act recklessly and aggressively. He began screaming as he grabbed a broken piece of wood that happened to be lying around and he chased people down.

"Hey!" Contank turned to see the three rangers arrive.

"Hmm, who are you." Contank asked as he moved his arms in a circle.

"You're about to find out." The three posed with their morphers appearing on their wrists.

"Animal Strike! Spirit Unlesshed!" They yelled before instantly transforming.

"Power Rangers." Contank growled.

"Strike Sabers!" The three pulled out their beaded weapons from their holders and ran into battle.

"Heh, your memories will be a great souvenir to have." Contank chuckled. "Ravagers!" Contank snapped his fingers and the monsters appeared from the ground.

The three rangers began to fight off the mere foot soldiers. Green slashed the ones to his side and dashed towards Contank himself.

"Aim and-" Green hit his arm before slashing him in the chest causing Contank to stumble back a bit.

"Seems like an easy job to finish." Green began to strike the monster with ease, not missing a strike as Contank was pushed back.

"I'm green with envy!" Green was pushed back by Contank and was struck by Lozari, who appeared from nowhere.

"What the. Who the hell is that?" Purple questioned until he was struck with a huge sword from behind. Now wearing a helmet with two sharp eye-visors and two horns sticking out on the sides, Vixarus struck Purple again and sent the Ranger flying into one of the baskets on the court they were on.

"So why are you wearing the helmet again?" Lozari questioned.

"It's to protect my head and to stop my anger from seeping out. I don't want to end up as stupid as you either." Vixarus said with a deep voice.

"Heh, as if you didn't already look stupid dragon face." Lozari chuckled.

"Great, more monsters." Raptor slashed the last Ravager and he ran over to help Purple and Green.

"The Green ones mine!" Contank dashed past the two bickering monsters and attacked Green head on, charging into him and carrying him back.

"I'll take the other green one!" Lozari jumped towards Raptor, who summoned his Raptor Sai and began defending himself.

"Guess that leaves big and ugly for me." Purple put his fists up in a fighters stance.

"You'd be surprised at how many women fawn over me." Vixarus chuckled as he charged.

The three rangers began to fight against the beasts that pushed them back onto the sand. Each Ranger then summoned their weapons. Green kicked his mace ball around, hitting Contank with precision like a soccer player.

Unfortunately for him, Contank felt no effect, having a heavy armor thanks to his tank-like design. Instead, he deflected each attack with his cannons.

Raptor tried his best to keep up with Lozari, who didn't seem to mind the sand under his feet. Typically, sand was seen as an obstacle to people who wore shoes, sometimes even without shoes.

"Come on. I thought Raptors were supposed to be skilled hunters." Lozari chuckled as Raptor ran towards him. Lozari punched Raptor in the gut and threw him farther down onto the beach.

Purple had found enough footing in the sand to fight without trouble. But the sand that continued to fly up and get on his boots was getting annoying quickly.

"Having trouble there?" Vixarus chuckled darkly.

"This is fucking ridiculous." Purple sighed as he gripped onto his nunchucks.

Vixarus pulled up his sword in a fast motion but was quickly sent off balance by a red slash. He looked up to see Red jumped over Purple and slash at Vixarus.

"Who's your new friend?" Red asked Purple.

"Real funny." Purple stood up and Saul let out a small chuckle. Both rangers gripped onto their weapons and charged at the monster. Pushing him towards the water, the three battled it out in the water.

Meanwhile, Raptor continued to hold off against Lozari. The cat-like beast kept sending a barrage of punches towards Raptor.

"Hey!" Lozari looked up as White and Silver jumped forward, slashing at Lozari. Gold and Panther slid on the sand by Raptor, helping him up.

"You good bro?" Panther asked Raptor who gave a simple nod.

"Where are the others?" Raptor asked.

"Looking for Jisoo. We told them that we'd take care of it." Gold explained.

"Then let's take care of it." Raptor shrugged and the three ran towards Lozari.

"Let's leave this to them and go after that tank monster." Silver commanded towards White. White looked at him and felt a sting of pain in his head. The fuzzy memory of his best friend dying spilling into his head like a waterfall made him hesitate.

"Hiyah!" Lozari hit White in the chest with his palm, forcing a ton of energy out of his body and sending the rhino based Ranger flying onto the basketball court.

Silver along with the other two present Dino Rangers battled Lozari with their blades. The cat could only laugh.

"My loneliness is gone!" Lozari yelled into the sky as his claws glowed a yellow color. The Dino Rangers all backed up, pulling their swords back with them. They prepared to swing only for Lozari to spin around on one foot, moving at high speeds as his claws grew and struck each Ranger in the chest, sending them flying into the sand.

"That's weird." Raptor groaned as he tried to stand up.

..

"What are you anyway, a knight? Or a Viking?" Red asked as he used his sword to hit Vixarus' shield, shaped in the form of a circle with various Korean alphabet letters engraved in it.

"That's none of your concern!" Vixarus pulled his shield back and hit Red back. Vixarus then began to rush red only to be met the the blade of the Eagle Slicer that flew in from his side.

Vixarus landed on the basketball court and groaned in pain. Red, holding onto his aching chest, looked towards Vixarus before turning to see Eagle standing atop the Eagle Zord itself.

"Jisoo?" Red stood up as Eagle jumped down. Pulling out her Strike Saber, she struck Red across the chest.

"Jisoo, what are you doing?!" Purple stood up as well.

"Her job. Now he a good boy and leave her alone." Purple turned back to the Eagle Zord to see someone standing atop it.

"And who are you?" Purple questioned.

"The Eagle Master." Purple jumped a bit when his own master, Wolf, appeared beside him.

"Her master?" Purple questioned.

"Why do you do this Tsume?!" Wolf yelled up to the laughing woman.

"I already explained to Kai. Now I need to explain to you. Some worthless masters you are. You only appeared once before your rangers and left them for dead." Tsume scoffed.

"And you think that what your doing with that Jisoo girl is any better. I know exactly why now. It's because of what happened back when you, Axis and Kai worked in the lab." Wolf stated with a stone cold face.

"What happened years ago doesn't matter." Tsume rolled her eyes.

"This all too confusing." Purple shook his head.

"Let's just say, a Love Triangle really goes a long way." Wolf chuckled as he pt Purple's shoulders.

"Huh?" Purple looked at Wolf with confusion.

"Jisoo! Stop!" Purple immediately turned right back to the fight.

"Right!" Purple ran towards Red only to get hit with Green on the side.

"I've had enough!" Contank roared as he began firing bombs at the rangers. Lozari and Vixarus clicked their tongues as they jumped out of the bomb's way.

"How are we even struggling?!" Panther picked himself up.

"I have no business with you!" Eagle pulled up her blaster and shot Contank back. She then began to shoot at Red who began to deflect the bullets. Contank growled angrily and got up. He prepared to charge until he was met with the sting of lightning.

"Hiyah!" The two Thunder rangers appeared from no where, jumping into the air and striking the monster in its chest.

Contank growled and began firing at random. The Thunder rangers unsheathed their staffs and quickly transformed them into reflective shields. Using them with precision, they blocked every shot and sent it right back at Contank who managed to dodge each one.

"You can't hold off forever." Contank began firing orange sphere after orange sphere. Navy and Crimson moved their shields in opposing directions, splitting up as they ran around Contank, trying to find an opening.

"Found one!" Navy yelled as he began to scab the Contank. The monster looked to his left and shot at Navy who deflected it to his right. The ball of light was sent flying towards a pair.

Eagle and Red fought each other with their blades striking. Sparks flying off their swords showed just how much power they placed into the blades.

"Jisoo! Why are you doing this?!" Red questioned as he pushed his blade against hers. They were standing in place. Both of them pushing against each other.

"I have my reasons. Just stay out of my business Saul." Her words were laced with anger and Red could only feel his frustration build up.

"Hard for me to do when we technically almost did it. You know." Red claimed, reminding Jisoo of the night she tried to have sex with him.

"It would've been meaningless. I would've done it just to shut you up and to keep you out of my way. Doing something like that with you would've been a waste of my time." Jisoo said with venom laced words. Red stopped. For a mere second, he stumbled. And Jisoo slashed him right in the chest with a powerful energy strike. Saul was sent flying into the air. Mid-air he was struck with Contank'd attack.

"Saul!" The rangers, with the exception of Eagle, yelled as he fell onto the sand. A green ball shot out of Saul and flew towards Contank who grabbed it after striking Navy and Crimson, placing the orb into his chest.

"Good memories." Contank chuckled.

"Saul!" Panther and Gold ran over to him. Eagle watched as Saul groaned on the ground. She dropped her sword as she realized what she did. She looked towards Tsume who had the biggest smirk with her eyes glowing.

"Tsume! Don't tell me you are controlling her!" Wolf yelled at the woman.

"I'm not controlling her. She's doing this of her own free will. Those were her thoughts." Tsume began laughing.

"Liar!" Wolf pulled his hands back and then shot out a purple energy orb that struck Tsume, causing her to fall onto the beach.

Eagle began stumbling back before falling onto her knees, "no! I didn't mean that. I didn't mean it!"

"Time to-" Contank was hit by a falling Lozari and Vixarus.

Purple and Green came out along with Silver and the Thunder rangers. Raptor jumped from behind and struck the monsters with his Sai.

"That's enough for today! Let's retreat." Vixarus claimed.

"Aw, you're no fun." Lozari said. The rangers were about to strike once again only for the monsters to disappear into black clouds with purple lightning striking.

"Fuck!" Crimson cursed.

"What did I do? Saul, I didn't mean that. What did I do?!" Eagle nearly screamed she got up as she saw the rangers gather around Saul. She turned around ready to leave. She jumped up into the sky when...

"Oh no you don't!" Crimson and Navy jumped after her, right in front of her, higher than her. They struck her down and she fell onto the ground. She felt the pain surge through her. She once thought that the pain of dancing for hours straight was the biggest pain ever.

But today, it was the pain of being struck by friends. As she realized what was happening, it was the pain of knowing what she did. The pain of seeing her friend being stung by her fake words, words created by her master who has her own agranda.

Friend. That's the word that got her. Were these guys really her friends. She's only known them for a short period of time. She looked at them. Mikey had told everyone about how it started. How Saul was always angry. Never showing his face to anyone. Yet, he was always nice to her. To the girls. Signs of the Saul that Mikey spoke of were no where to be seen.

Was Saul truly her friend? We're any of them? Eagle shook her head and tried to stand. Successful, she activated her wings and jumped off.

"No!" Navy grabbed her ankle. He began to get lifted up but Crimson managed to grab Navy's ankle. He took out his staff and activated its extension mode, the tip of the staff digging itself deep into the sand. Eagle tried to fly off but couldn't.

"Saul!" Over with the others, they tried to wake him. Saul groaned as his transformation disappeared. He opened his eyes slowly and caught view of everyone.

"Woah!!!" Saul shocked everyone as he sat up quickly. "W-who the hell are you?!!" Saul pushed himself back, crawling on the sand getting away from the rangers.

"Saul. It's us. What's wrong?" Panther reached his hand out but Saul kicked it. He then shuffled around until he got up and ran off.

"Saul!" The rangers began running after him.

"Saul?" Eagle watched as Saul turned a corner, running away. She could feel the fear he head. But how?

"Jisoo. We're taking you back to base." Crimson picked the girl up.

"But what about Saul?" Eagle asked as she looked at Crimson, her voice full of worry.

"We'll let the others get him." Navy claimed.

"You should take her back. I'll stick around and look for Tsume. Seems she's disappeared." Wolf spoke to the Thunder rangers who nodded.

"No! I need to get Saul back. I need to get his trust back." Eagle shook her head.

"What are you talking about? He's always trusted you." Navy said to her. Eagle looked at him directly in the eyes.

"Always?" She asked.

"Ah! Ok! You guys can't tell anyone I told you this!" Navy pointed at them. "A few times during training, Saul always talks to himself. Sometimes, when he thinks he's alone, he starts listing off the wonderful things he finds in Jisoo and her friends. Then he starts wondering if they trust him, the way he trusts them."

"Really?" Eagle almost crashed into Navy as she ran up to him.

"Yea." Navy gave a simple nod.

"Saul." Eagle looked down at the ground and then gave a nod. She then opened her wings.

"Wait!" Eagle then jumped up with speed and flew off.

"Shit." Crimson cursed.

"It's ok. She's gonna go look for him." The two remaining rangers along with Wolf looked to see Kai appear from flames.

"How do you know?" Navy asked.

"Memory." Kai gave the single word with a smile.

"Huh?" The two thunder ninjas looked at each other.

"You guys go and look for the monster. I'm sure he isn't just gonna sit back and relax. Me and Kai will take care of looking for Tsume." Wolf said to them. They both nodded and then ran off.

"Now where is that girl?" Kai looked around at the crashing waves.

"How long are you gonna keep that secret for?" Kai looked at Wolf who had his arms crossed.

"Memories are good Wolf. But sometimes, they can hurt." Kai said simply as he began to walk down towards the water. Wolf simply sighed and shook his head.

"That was a great haul. Especially this one." Contank pulled out a green orb that played some sort of video.

"Are those the memories of the people?" Lozari asked as he looked at it.

"Sure are. Check this one out. Someone is unfaithful." Contank pulled out another orb and handed it to Lozari who stood up straight and looked at it. In the orb, the video of a man cheating on his wife with another, much younger woman appeared. The three were actually out and about in the Beast Plaza. The wife was oblivious to her husband holding the hand of the other woman. "Now swipe to the right."

Lozari then put his fingers on the orb and swiped them to the right. Another video came in of the man dying before his wife. Lozari came to realize this was the memory of the wife. She looked up to see the Megazord standing above, battling Clashzoid. The Rangers very first battle.

"Interesting." Lozari chuckled as he could already feel the wife's true feelings. "These feelings of loneliness are powerful."

"Poot you. Is that all you think about?" Semilus walked up and took the orb from Lozari.

"Don't spoil the fun." Lozari chuckled.

"Shut it. What matters is that we have one rangers memories. How about we take them all?" Vixarus declared as he looked at Contank.

"That's weird!" Contank stood up suddenly.

"What is?" Semilus asked.

"There's a black void in between memories. And it's lasting quite a long time." Contank kept swiping on the orb.

"A black void in memories. Hmm. Maybe he has some sort of special amnesia?" Lozari questioned.

"Impossible. Even if they did have that, I could still see memories of the person no matter what's happened to them." Contank growled as he had enough of swiping.

"Maybe the red ranger managed to keep some of his memories." Vixarus claimed.

"Bullshit! I need to find out what happened. Now!" Contank marched out of the base.

"Hope he doesn't get into trouble." Lozari chuckled again.

"Amateurs." From afar, Zaku and Raiyu stared at the scene before them.

"Guys guys! I've got good news!" Saki yelled throughout the penthouse. When she arrived in the living room, she was greeted with the sight of Osvaldo and David in the middle of a fight. Osvaldo held David's head in a headlock as they both looked up at Saki.

"I tried to stop them." Danny held his hands up.

"It's only natural." Roberto sighed.

"What's the news Saki?" Mikey appeared along with the others who were in the base earlier.

"Well, Luis just called and said that they found Jisoo." Saki said as Jennie and Lisa ran out into the room.

"Really?" Both idols said with hope in their eyes.

"Yes! They did! But then..." Saki hesitated.

"Then what?" Anthony pushed.

"Well, while Jonathan was battling against the monster, he deflected one of its attacks. The attack hit Saul directly and... and it took his memories away." Saki said, tightening her grip on the phone.

"What?!" Nearly the entire room exclaimed.

"Everyone is looking for him. He ran so fast they couldn't catch him." Saki claimed as she began to breath heavily.

"Saki!" Both Roberto and Anthony jumped to help her as she fell to the floor.

"Not again. Please. I can't go back. Make them stop." Saki began to cry as she held her head in between her hands, her tears already escaping her eyes.

"What's wrong Saki?" Mikey asked as he got closer.

"She's having a nightmare vision. She says they remind her of the life she had before she met Saul." Sakura explained as she and Yuriko arrived.

"Her life before she met Saul?" Anthony looked at his teacher with a raised eyebrow.

"Let's just say she didn't have a perfect childhood. And, just like me, she says there's like foggy memories. Things that happened in between meeting Saul and May of last year that she can't remember." Sakura explained as she got on her knees and helped Saki up.

"Don't you have something similar Yuriko?" Osvaldo asked.

"Yes. That was until the person inside me reawakened." Yuriko claimed.

"Ah! I looked into that. I found out that the artifact that resides in you is called the Storm Crown. And it's one of the many jewels that belong to a kingdom known as Beastial. Beastial was some sort of kingdom down in the Americas, somewhere in Central America. There was once a king known as Rey. He had so many different artifacts in his collection that contained many powers. I also read a rumor about him creating a team of powerful warriors with the powers of animals to defeat a villainous force who threatened the extinction of the planet. Sound familiar?" David looked over everyone in the room.

"Almost like Power Rangers." Danny noted.

"And the extinction is like referring to Axis. But I thought his plan was to perfect humanity?" Alicia tilted her head.

"Well, we don't know if that's his only goal." David pointed his finger with a smirk.

"Ok, we'll talk about that later. Right now we need to find Saul. God, first Jisoo and now Saul." Mikey sighed as he covered his face, the feeling of tiredness growing within him.

"Hey, have you guys seen Rosé?" Jennie asked. The group began to look around themselves.

"She walked out a couple minutes ago. Don't know where she was going though." Danny said as he played on his portable gaming console.

"And you didn't say anything?" Cynthia crossed her arms with a slight glare to her expression.

"I didn't think it was important. And I'm not one to pry into peoples business." Danny said.

"Let's go." Mikey took the console from Danny and began to leave.

"Ugh!" The youngest Ranger out of all of them groaned as he got up.

"You guys call Rosé. We'll be back as soon as we find the others. Oh, and take care of Saki." Osvaldo closed the door behind him, leaving the two idols, Sakura, Yuriko and Saki inside.

Adjusting her mask, Rosé walked through the park closest to her dorm apartment. She looked at all the people walking around, enjoying their lives. Yet, a pair of girls walking by and giggling as they talked is what caught her attention.

Memories of Jisoo flooded her mind as she reminisced on everything they have done together. Everything from concerts to just hanging around in Seoul. Jisoo was like another big sister to her and it only hurt the Aussie girl more knowing that she had no clue where her sister was.

As she continued to walk aimlessly, the thoughts of all the live videos and even the thought of Jisoo's helium song had Rosie smiling under her mask. She was so lost in thought that she never noticed what was up ahead.

"Argh! Those rangers! I must find the truth!" Contank yelled as people heard him and began to run for their lives. Many weren't spared however, as Contank began shooting at random, taking everyone's memories and leaving scared lambs in their wake.

"Ravagers! Find those rangers!" Contank yelled at the foot soldiers show began to attack civilians, the practical thing they only knew how to do. Rosé kept walking aimlessly until someone fell in her path.

She looked at the man who cried for help as he got up and ran away. Rosie quickly turned to see a group of Ravagers heading towards her. It was during this that Contank turned his attention to her. The girls eyes widened and she began to back up only for her legs to meet a small barrier between the path and the grass.

"Ha Ha! Like a deer in headlights." Contank chuckled as he held his arm up.

The monsters got closer as the girl closed her eyes, waiting for an attack. Never in her life had she imagined being in a position such as this. Her fear got to her, making her shake violently. Suddenly, within the dark void that lied within her closed eyes, she saw a light.

"Rosé." A deep voice called as the light appeared over a dark ocean. Suddenly finding herself on an Australian beach, the young Aussie girl looked around only seeing the source of light coming towards her.

"W-what is that?" She asked herself. Whatever was coming towards her spread It's wings. A colorful rainbow of colors along with a Golden like aura came into view as the loud screech of a bird was heard.

"Roseanne Park!" The voice yelled. "Park Chaeyoung! Rosie! Rosé! Heath my warning!" The deep voice called out. She found herself unable to move as a huge bird finally came into view. A very majestic view as golden sparkles sprinkled down onto the earth like rain.

"The red ranger. His destiny will be fulfilled. You will be the one to see to it!" The girl new found herself facing something new standing next to her on the beach. The ginormous bird landed on the sand behind this new figure, clad in silver armor with a red came flowing behind him, the trident in his hand glowing with a red aura.

"W-who are you?" She asked.

"With time you will learn more. You are connected after all. Fight off the monsters. Prove yourself to this majestic bird. Show us you can do what needs to be done." The man turned towards the bird who screeched once again.

"But what am I supposed to do. Am I supposed to sing. Dance. That's all I know to do." Rosé was so confused to the point that she only spat out what came to her head.

"You are much more than a musician. Much more than some idol. You have the potential. I was never wrong for choosing you four. Find the path Roseanne. Find it and follow it. Prove yourself and fulfill destiny." The man stated as he mounted the bird. He looked down at Rosé, "I believe in you." He said as he hit the bird with his trident lightly. The bird screeched as it opened its wings and flew up into the air.

The girl watched as the bird flew away, then feeling a surge of power as she turned back in the direction of the ocean.

"Let's take her memories!" Rosé opened her eyes, now glowing a plethora of colors. She let out a slight groan as her body twitched. The monsters stopped and stared as the color of rainbows escaped the girls back. Wings formed and in the matter of seconds, the flapped once, causing all the Ravagers to fly away or be destroyed.

Contank was now nervous. No army between him and the target as the girl gave a slight smirk. Contank felt himself literally shiver as the girl walked towards him. To anyone, she would've looked like a goddess. It to mention sexy with the aura glowing from her. Her blouse and shorts began to give off golden sprinkles.

"It's beautiful. It's memorable. And anything memorable must belong to me!" Contank shot his ball only for it to be deflected. The girl then brought her right hand to her left, causing the wing on the right to do the same. She then flung it forward, the wing following and sending Contank flying into the sky.

"I will remember this!" He yelled helplessly as he disappeared into the clouds.

The idol then felt the power leave her, making her take in a sharp breath. Her eyes returned to their brown colored state as she felt light-headed. She felt her legs shake and before she knew it, she was falling.

"Rosé!" Before hitting the cold hard concrete, she was engulfed in someone's arms. She looked over to see someone with short blonde hair.

"O-Oppa?" She asked weakly before passing out.

Saul walked carefully through a street market, listening to the various languages being spoken as he looked at everyone around him. A crowded area is what he searched for in order to avoid running into the rangers, who he has completely forgotten.

With his hands stuffed in his pockets, the boy tried his best to avoid eye contact with everyone as he walked towards the other end. Street markets have become more popular in Beast City due to their popularity overseas. At night time, they were even busier than ever, especially the street food vendors.

Saul kept his hood on to keep himself out of view as he looked towards various street food carts. He heard all types of languages being spoken and if he was being honest, his head was beginning to hurt. Within the boy, the secondary personality, known as Raul, was dormant. While this didn't seem like a problem, something else lurked in the mind.

"Over there! Over there! Scorch let's go over there!" He looked over towards a Korean street vendor as a voice played in his head.

"I don't know whether to call you Scorch or Oppa?" He walked past the vendor and kept going.

"Why am I hearing voices?" He spoke softly to himself.

"Don't leave. Don't leave me. Don't leave us." He shook his head violently.

"I don't want to leave." He said before realizing he almost crashed into someone. Although, already too late. Two girls fell and Saul fell on top of them. A simultaneous groan was heard as Saul tried to look for something to boost himself up. What he felt with his hands, however, felt soft. He didn't squeeze out of fear, even though he wanted to make sure.

Instead, he found a way to push himself back onto the ground and hid himself within his hoodie, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" He yelled.

"No no! You're ok." He heard someone speak to him trying their best with English. He looked up and saw two girls smiling down at him. The first one has short, shoulder length black hair and the second one had short, shoulder length dirty blonde colored hair.

"Wow... pretty." The boys eyes widened when he realized what he said. The two girls giggled and blushed a bit before helping him up.

"Are you ok?" The one with black hair asked.

"Y-yes." Saul said nervously. "I-I should get going." The boy quickly left and the girls looked at each other before giggling.

"He looks lost." The blonde one said.

"Let's keep an eye on him. Something about him seems familiar." The black haired one said and they both nodded, following in Saul's direction.

"Hiyah!" Saul punched a Ravager into luggage carts and kicked another one onto the luggage collection belt.

"What are you doing idiot!" Sakura yelled over at the boy who blocked incoming attacks with a cart, pushing it forward and pulling it back, being able to hit a bunch of Ravagers with ease.

"What does it look like!" Saul responded as he spun a cart around. He put his foot on it and launched himself forward.

Behind Sakura, collective gasps and 'wows' were heard as Saul jumped off the cart and, with his arms spread out, crashing into the monsters who fell with him.

"Get them out of here!" Saul yelled at Sakura as he blocked another incoming attack.

"R-right! Let's go everyone!" Sakura claimed. Yuki pushed back Ravagers that managed to pass Saul.

"I got these guys. Go go!" He yelled as Sakura and Saki nodded.

All the girls got up and ran towards the now empty exits. Sakura directed them towards the location of the parking lot.

"Now that they're out of the way! Yuki, step back!" Saul commanded. Yuki did just that as Saul prepared his morpher. "Spirit Unleashed!" He quickly transformed into his Ranger form and disposed of a few more monsters.

"Woah, it looks even cooler to see that in person." Yuki claimed, only having heard about the morphing from Sakura and Saki.

"Stand back and watch!" Red pulled out his Strike Saber and struck the monsters around him. He dashed forward, hitting his targets on mark. Yuki watched with awe and a wide open mouth.

"Hey, idiot! Chase those strays!" Red yelled at Yuki as three Ravagers passed the exits.

"How did I not see that!" Yuki chased after them.

"As for the rest of you." Saul pulled out his battery and insert it into the saber. The blade lit up on fire and he quickly got rid of the final five Ravagers.

He let out a satisfied hum and ran after Yuki. The mentioned boy ran across the walkways, pushing past the arriving police. They began to yell after him before turning to see the red ranger run past them.

...

"Ok, we should be ok. These trucks should keep us out of sight." Sakura let out a sigh of relief. She looked at the eighteen girls she was now in charge of who were all taking in deep breaths. Yuki then came running around the corner. Saki screamed causing a chain reaction as Sakura punched her brother in the gut.

"Argh! Bad idea." Yuki fell his knees.

"Oh my- I'm so sorry." Sakura helped him up.

"It's... ok?" Yuki gave a weak smile.

"Uh, looks like some more uninvited guests." Saki backed up as they all looked at the three Ravagers.

"Found them." Yuki said weakly.

Just as the first monster was about to move, Red came crashing into it. He then slashed at the other two, killing them instantly. He then brought his sword back before thrusting it into the monsters chest and destroying it. He let out a groan as he stumbled, using one of the trucks to lean on.

"Fuck." He shook his head and looked at all the girls looking at him. Yuki then cleared his throat after a minute of silence.

"Uh, thanks Red Ranger." Yuki began.

"Your welcome. It's an honor to save such beautiful women. And a scrawny kid." Red leaned against the truck with his elbow, giving of a charming vibe that had all the girls in a trance, including Sakura yet excluding Saki.

The girls all stared at him in awe that Yuki felt jealous of. Saki looked at them all and clicked her tongue. She couldn't help but glare at them all. She then snapped them all out of their trance.

"Thanks Red Ranger, but I'm sure you have other important business to attend to." Saki said the night gritted teeth.

"Ah! Yea, you're right. I'll see you all around." He saluted and ran off. He jumped away, using some form of super human speed to escape.

A collection of "wows" were heard from the girls. Sakura snapped her head back at them and shot a glare as well. Yuki shivered upon seeing it.

"Let's get going." Sakura stood up and dusted herself off, "I'm sure all the monsters have been dealt with." Sakura looked at Yuki who gave a slight nod.

"Guys!" Sakura jumped and threw a punch at Saul, socking him in the face.

"Oh my, I'm sorry!" Sakura nearly yelled as everyone's faces were in shock.

Saul just gave a small smile before falling onto the ground entirely. The girls all surrounded him as Yuki scratched his head.

"Dang, im glad I wasn't in his place." He gave a slight smirk.

"Heaven." Saul let out the word in a soft voice as the last thing he saw before he went unconscious.

The night was young and the streets were packed. Street vendors were busy as were street markets. Saul sat on a stone bench, watching everyone. From afar, the two girls he ran into watched him.

"Why does he interest us so much?" The blonde asked.

"I don't know. Something about him is familiar." The other girl responded as they received a serving of Jokbal from a vendor.

Saul kept his hood on as he saw people walk by. Couples holding hands, friends messing with each other. Families out for a night stroll. He felt small and lonely within this sea of people. He looked down at the ground and a tear escaped his eye.

For some reason, seeing all these people made him emotional. He then heard his stomach rumble which made him sigh. He kept looking at the ground until a pair of adidas sneakers came into view. He looked up to see a smiling girl looking down at him. In her hands, she held two churros.

"Nice to meet you, my names Jisoo. I'd love to get to know you." She smiled at him. He then realized the face mask she had pushed down but his attention returned to the churros as his stomach rumbled.

"Is that... Jisoo-unnie?" The blonde asked to which the other girl nodded.

"T-thank you." Saul grabbed the churro that Jisoo offered him, "I'm Saul by the way." He said, almost feeling a headache just by saying his name.

"What a nice and rare name." Jisoo smiled as she sat on the bench. She munched on her churro happily.

"Wow, you're pretty." Saul let out and covered his mouth afterwards.

Jisoo giggled softly and looked at Saul who bit his churro nervously, "so what are you doing out by yourself. I saw you from afar and you looked lonely." Jisoo looked at Saul who looked back at her.

He was completely flustered as he looked at her. To him, she was the physical definition of a goddess. Her visual was so perfect to him that he felt himself actually lean in, craving the taste of the girls heart-shaped lips. Jisoo saw this and felt herself freeze. She then quickly turned her face with a huge smile and a blush as his lips landed on her cheek.

"Ah! I'm sorry. I'm so stupid." Saul said as he turned away. But that proved to be a terrible idea as he saw a couple sharing a kiss. He looked at the ground again.

"What's wrong?" Jisoo asked with a tilted head.

"It's just that, I don't remember anything. I have a blank mind. Yet I somehow can still speak and operate normally. I don't know what happened to me, but all I can remember is waking up on the beach, surrounded by costumed strangers. Next thing I know, I'm here, wandering around." Saul stated.

"Are you afraid?" Jisoo took another bite from her churro.

"I am afraid. I don't know anything. I don't know where I live. I don't remember my friends. My family. I don't remember anything." Saul said as he placed his face into his hands.

"Don't cry Saul. You know what I like to do when I'm sad? I like to sing a little song to myself. I also like to eat. But when I sing my small song, it makes me happier. Especially when my friends sing it with me. Ah, do you want to sing it with me?" Jisoo asked Saul who looked up at her.

"You want me to sing your song. The song you sing with your friends?" Saul questioned.

"Yes. Do you want to be my friend Saul?" Jisoo asked with a smile.

"Do you really want to be friends?" Saul asked.

"Of course. Don't be sad and I'll be your friend forever. I'll always be by your side." She hugged him and Saul blushed especially when she kissed his cheek.

"Aww." The two girls from afar were touched by the scene.

The two now sat in silence. Saul ate the rest of his churro after Jisoo had finished hers. They watched the crowds of people walk around. Saul felt at ease sitting next to Jisoo. He felt less afraid.

"Annyeong, annyeong... Naneun Jisoo-ya... hellyumgasseu meogeotdoni yeoroke dwaetji." Jisoo sang softly. Saul looked at her, unbeknownst to him, his wristband was blinking. Yet, even with the help of the morphers built in translator, the song sounded foreign to him. He liked it. She kept repeating it in a little rhythm as she danced around to it.

"Annyeong, annyeong... Naneun Jisoo-ya... hellyumgasseu meogeotdoni yeoroke dwaetji." Saul began. Jisoo smiled at him. He was surprised with his understanding and more with his ability to even speak Korean. The two smiled at each other and began to sing together. Jisoo rest her head on his shoulder as she hugged his arm. The two singing with big smiles.

"Annyeong, annyeong... Naneun Jisoo-ya... hellyumgasseu meogeotdoni yeoroke dwaetji."

"Argh, what a terrible nap. How long was I out?" Contank stood up on the beach, feeling the water pass his legs.

"Look who we found." The monster turned to see the Thunder Rangers appeared on the cliffs above.

"I'm guessing I'm not on the same beach as yesterday." Contank looked around.

The Thunder rangers grabbed their staffs and quickly jumped down, sending a lightning attack onto Contank. Explosions blew up around Contank, who was flipped over. The rest of the rangers all gathered around him.

"It's a Ranger reunion." Contank noticed. The rangers all prepared their weapons until four orange figures appeared in front of them.

"Assassins." Blue noted.

"Ah, salvation." Contank cheered.

"Stand down rangers." The four monsters pulled out their swords and ran towards the rangers. Meanwhile, the simple Ravagers also spawned and began to swarm them.

"Heh, legs create some more chaos." Contank chuckled as he shot three orbs. One hit Green, the other Silver and the last one Lion. Green orbs quickly left their bodies. Then, three red orbs were shot into them.

They each roared and began an all out assault on their teammates, hitting the Ravagers out of their way. The rangers all began to struggle as Yellow and Pink tried to take on Contank.

"Die!" Silver slashed at Gold and Raptor. Orange then came in and struck him from behind. Purple and White were occupied fighting against Green who swung his mace around. Green hit both of them in the gut but was struck by Black.

Lion roared as Bat tried to hold onto him. Bat was quickly elbowed. Lion then thrust his fist forward and hit Snake in the helmet. It took Panther and Dolphin to strike him down. Lion roared again and grabbed both of them, throwing them towards the cliff. Sparks fell off their suits as they fell onto the ground.

"Fools!" Contank smacked the rangers attacking him back. Eventually, the Ravagers were destroyed except for the Assassins. The rangers all fell back. Panther ran up to them and swung his hammer around only to be knocked back by another hammer, one created by the Assassin in front of him.

"How... is this happening." Panther let out as he held his side.

"Go! We'll take care of them." One of the Assassin's commanded the monster who saluted.

"Of course, here I go!" Contank began to walk away.

Before he could even escape, he was hit by a fast moving object. The Assassins were carried up into the air next, the fast winds that passed by knocking the attacking rangers down. Everyone turned to see the Eagle Ranger throw the Assassins up into the air. It then flapped its wings and saws made of wind were shot out, hitting each one and destroying them. The zords eyes glowed from power as it screeched.

"Who the hell summoned that?" Snake asked.

"You aren't going anywhere!" Everyone was shocked to hear that voice as Jisoo and Saul appeared on top of the cliff.

"Jisoo!" Half of them called out.

"Saul!" The other half called out.

"Oh look who it is. The cry baby and his mommy. What do you want!" Contank yelled bitterly.

"She ain't my mommy. She's my best friend!" Saul let out shyly.

"Do you remember what I told you?" Jisoo asked.

"You said I can transform with this, right?" Saul said as he looked at Jisoo. She nodded and pecked his cheek.

"Eh!!!" All the rangers, including the raging ones, yelled as they pointed at them.

"It's Morphing Time!" Jisoo yelled out and the rangers went crazier than before.

"Ready!" Saul yelled out.

"Animal Strike! Spirit Unleashed!" The two summoned their morphers, insert their batteries and quickly transformed. Their suits formed around them as their spirit animals ran around them before solidifying their suits and helmets. Explosions and color blasts of red, black and pink exploded behind them.

"Oh shit! This is cool!" Red announced as he looked down at himself.

"Let's go!" Eagle pulled out her Strike Saber, Red following suit as they both jumped down. Their sabers lit up with their respective colors as they slashed down Contank's body. Sparks flew as Contank stumbled back.

"Follow my lead." Eagle looked back at Red who nodded.

The two bent their sabers to their sides and ran in sync. Contank was still dizzy before feeling two blades pierce his sides. He began shooting at random as the pain began to build up with his anger.

Eagle and Red managed to run towards the water and ran in sync once again. The blasts hit the water behind the two rangers who quickly jumped up. Eagle activated her wings and summoned her Slicer. She handed it to Red who held onto her leg. She felt towards Contank and Red quickly sent the weapon flying forward, spinning at high speeds.

"This isn't good." Contank began to run as the Slicer's blades began to glow a black and pink color.

The weapon hit Contank three times from different directions before hitting him from behind one last time and blowing him up.

"No way that just worked?" Panther sat up.

"Well he just blew up." White let out a groan as he fell to his side.

Eagle and Red landed on the ground and spun around as the explosion grew bigger. The two posing with their weapons. Saul then felt himself pump forward. Green, Silver and Lion felt the same as the red orbs left them. Green orbs escaped Contanks remains and flew into the boys who all felt power surge and their memories returning.

"Ah! My head!" Lion held his head.

"J-Jisoo? Jisoo!" Saul held his sword up.

"Wait! Ani! She helped you. She helped us." Dolphin ran in front of him.

"S-she helped us?" Red looked at Eagle who looked down at the sand.

"Aw! Jisoo destroyed the monster!" Semilus stomped on the ground.

"How pathetic." Axis said from his chair, his hand on his cheek. He was clearly bored as he played a game of darts, shooting dark colored darts at the Ravagers.

"Master, please give him another chance." Byxis pleaded.

"Another chance to fail?" Vixarus stepped forward with Lozari chuckled.

"Now now, Vixarus. Don't get so riled up." Axis chuckled as he pushed the big red button. The swamp outside was free of animals as the laser tower appeared. The laser was then shot out and sent towards the beach.

"Yah, Saki! She needs to explain herself." Navy pointed at Eagle.

"We can't trust her so easily." Crimson crossed his arms.

"Guys!" Pink yelled as the laser arrived and hit Contank's remains. The monster grew to gigantic proportions and roared.

"I'm back and ready to destroy these cities. Say bye bye to your memories!" Contank yelled as he began firing at random.

"Shit. Mick, which Zord do we-" Blue began but was interrupted by Eagle.

"Let me start repenting. I know what I did was horrible and wrong. I want to make it up to you so let the new Megazord fight." Jisoo pleaded.

The rangers all looked to each other. They didn't know what to answer and Contank was already trying to break the cities defenses that were activated.

"Let her." Saul commanded. Everyone looked at him. He nodded his head as he walked up to Jisoo, "I trust her." He looked right into her eyes and she grabbed his arms, feeling confident.

"Alright then, let's go!" Lion yelled as he pulled out his Zord battery.

"Summon Zords!" The Eco Rangers yelled.

Within a minute, their Zords attacked Contank, who was firing at the taller buildings. The Eagle Zord then flew in, Eagle getting settled into the cockpit as she placed her Saber in place.

"Let's make quick work. Zords combine!" Lion pulled out the next battery. He threw it out and the zords came together. Within seconds, the giant Zord was created.

"Eco Strike Megazord!" They all yelled as the Megazord posed in front of the Animal Strike symbol and spirit-versions of their zords.

"Welcome Jisoo!" Dolphin cheered as the once empty seat next to her was now occupied.

"Annyeonghaseyo. It's a pleasure to work with you guys. Let's work together and please take care of me." Eagle stood up and bowed.

"Humble Jisoo!" Dolphin cheered again.

"Welcome aboard. Let's finish this guy off!" Lion roared as the Megazord got into place. The rangers inside quickly began to drive the Megazord forward.

"Fire at will!" Contank fired at the giant robot that summoned its own sword and deflected the shots. It then slid on the ground, crushing the abandoned cars underneath before striking Contank in the gut.

"Too close!" Contank fired at them as they passed. Sparks flew off the Megazord as it stumbled back.

"These Zord fights are typically fast, so how about we finish him off just like Jisoo did. Summoning Eagle Slicer." The very same weapon that Eagle used was summoned and the giant robot got hold of it. It's eyes glowed a pink color as the blades on the Slicer began to glow.

"Oh no you don't!" Contank shot a barrage of bullets at them. But before any bullets hit the robot, the robot pulled its arm back and flung it forward. The weapon began to spin at rapid speeds as it hit Contank once from in front, a second time from behind, a third time from in front and a final time from behind.

"I won't forget this memory!" Contank yelled as the Slicer returned to the robot. The Megazord turned away from the monster as it fell forward and blew up. The buildings around shook as the Megazord posed.

"Yes! Our first take down as a complete unit!" Dolphin cheered.

"Now I know how it feels to be in a real Megazord fight. And wow, it goes quickly." Eagle giggled before feeling the embrace of Dolphin.

"They did it!" From the ground, the rangers cheered. Red looked up at the Megazord and let out a satisfied hum.

"I'm very sorry!" Jisoo bowed in front of everyone in the base.

"It feels like everyone's saying that to us now a days." Anthony put his face on his hand, supporting himself on the table.

"Thank you guys for giving me a chance. I'm sorry for all the trouble. To you guys and to my members." Jisoo bowed again.

"Unnie!" The three other members of BLACKPINK ran to their eldest member and hugged her tightly.

"We forgive you, right guys!" Saki cheered again.

Everyone nodded their heads and smiled. Jisoo smiled and thanked everyone again and again, laughing along with her members as they hugged her tighter.

"What I want to know is why you did it?" Juan spoke up. The room went silent and everyone looked at Jisoo.

"Ah, yes. I knew that question would come. As you all know, I started acting strangely when you caught me and Saul in his room." Jisoo began. Saul had his arms crossed as he leaned against the table, looking at the wall in the opposite direction of where the girls stood. "I met my master a few weeks before that. And even before that I always felt some sort of strange power within me. I felt surges of power flow but I never questioned it. When I met Tsume, she began to tell me her history. She admitted that a few months before our Coachella performance last year, she had an Eagle keeping an eye on me.

She saw something within me that would help her with her plan. Her plan of destroying Kai and the Red Ranger. She was very vague with the details but I believe it has something to do with love. Anyways, Tsume gave me my morpher and batteries and threatened me into helping her. She knew about the power I had and claimed that if I used it, I could protect the girls." Jisoo looked down at her arm.

"Protect them from what?" Jason asked next.

"From her. She threatened to hurt them if I didn't help her. She tasked me with killing Saul or at the very least, have him under my spell. Which is why I tried to seduce Saul. She thought that by using Saul, she could destroy Kai and everything he ever created. Like I said, I don't know all the details but she hates Kai very much. I'm sorry everyone. I had to keep my act up to protect the girls." Jisoo began to tear up as she looked at her members. Her sisters in a sense.

"We get it, you had to protect your sisters. I would've done the same thing." Jazmine and Alicia stood up and went to hug her. Cynthia and Saki did the same.

"It is understandable. We're just glad your on our side now." Jonathan claimed as he hugged a crying Yuriko in his arms.

"Oh Unnie!" The BP members joined the group hug. They all cried together.

"Hey, are you crying?" Osvaldo asked David who sniffled.

"No! Danny is though." David claimed.

"No I'm not!" Danny yelled.

"I am!" Roberto blew his nose.

"She did it all to protect her sisters. It's so touching! Because they are sisters." Matthew blew his nose next.

"I love my sisters!" Jisoo announced loudly and everyone cheered. Well, except for Saul. Jisoo looked at him nervously and walked up to him. He had a stone cold face and he avoided eye contact with her. She smiled and giggled as she pecked his cheek.

His eyes widened as did everyone else's. The sounds of "Eh!" broke through the air as they all pointed at the blushing pair.

"Finally! It begins. Jisoo finally joins the team. She's on our side! The relationship between my king and his queens shall be one that rules over them all!" Neo appeared from out of nowhere, shocking everyone.

"Shut up you idiot!" Sebastian yelled at him as he got Neo into a headlock.

"Wait, so now that you're on our side, how are we going to keep the public and your company from finding out? We can't give the powers to someone else, right?" Luis questioned.

"We don't need to. I've created a special mode for Jisoo's wristband. Her face is replaced with a virtual mask that hides her identity when she's going to morph or fight. And she can also activate it when she goes out in-" Mick was talking until Jisoo stopped him.

"Don't worry, I'll be covered. Right girls!" Jisoo looked at her sisters who all smiled and nodded.

"And what about Tsume?" Mikey asked.

"Wolf said he would take care of it along with Kai." Jason informed.

"Got it. Let's leave it to them then." Mikey nodded.

"Well, it's time to go to work. Let's go!" Mick clapped.

"I'm gonna go check on the zords." Saul announced.

"Can I join!" Jennie asked out loud, followed by the other three. They all gave cute expressions and little pouts. Saul's eyes widened as he began to suddenly feel nervous. Everyone watched as Saul squeaked and ran off.

"Oi!" The four girls yelled as they ran after him. A collective laughter was heard as the girls chased Saul in the Zord bay.

"Get him Zords!" Jennie yelled and all the zords roared in encouragement.

"Ah! I can't wait to see this relationship bloom. Rejoice everyone! Rejoice!" Neo yelled. Sebastian then smacked his head but Neo was unfazed with the biggest smile on his face.

Jisoo was finally a part of the team. The team is finally whole. Twenty rangers brought together to fight against Axis and his evil army. Can they do it? Will they succeed?

Sitting by himself, Axis drank from his wine. He looked out of the dark room, looking down at the shining bustling city. Night life truly was magnificent in this city. He swirled his wine in his cup before taking another sip.

He then looked at his desk where a shining blue light hit him. The Infinity Star float above his desk, giving off a calming aura and a low buzz.

"All twenty have been brought together. It's time to up the stakes." He claimed as he sat back and drank the rest of his wine before the room was filled with complete darkness.
