Interlude:

Neo: Rejoice! For now all twenty rangers have come together in this battle against the villainous Axis and his army of villains.

Sebastian: About time these guys came together.

Neo: Of course it is. Especially since my king and his queens take a step closer to creating a new world order.

Sebastian: Seriously, where do you get that from.

Saki: Let's not fight boys. An exciting journey just started so we should all be happy.

Saul: Don't drag me into this.

Jisoo: What's this place!

Neo: My queen! Welcome.

Jisoo: This looks like a really fun place.

Saul: It isn't a place.

Jisoo: Come on Saul, I'm hungry. Take me out!

Saul: Eh?!

Saki: Ani, you're taking Jisoo out to lunch. Can I come?

Saul: I'm not taking no one, anywhere.

Sebastian: Let's go chul!

Neo: Worry not my king, I shall pay for you and the queens meal. Do they accept universal coins on earth?

Saul: What are you talking about?

Jisoo: Come on boys!

Saul: *groans*

Neo: On with the story.

Chapter 35: Sports Mania

The citizens of Beast City were all buzzing on this fine sunny day. The announcement of Beast City's National Sports Festival was all the rage currently. Many athletes began to practice for the various sports that would be played on the upcoming weekend.

Athletes of all kinds, from all countries were training hard. Each one of them wanting to represent their countries proudly. That's the kind of mindset athletes have when living in a city that allows so many nationalities to come together.

Beast City Olympic Center

"So what are we doing here?" Anthony asked as a group of the guys arrived at the sign-up table. They all had on their ranger hoodies, including the three boys to join last.

Roberto's hoodie was and orangish red in color. On the left side of the hoodie was a cool design of a Lion, appearing as if it were roaring on the top of a mountain. On the right side of the hoodie was a black design of the lions head. On the right side, on his chest, was the Animal Strike symbol. On the back of his hoodie was a lion styled number 17, the same one that was on his suit. On the top back of his hoodie were the words, "King Lion". On the bottom back of his hoodie was the phrase, "Roar of the Lion".

Danny's hoodie was black and white in color. On the left side of the hoodie was a cool design of a bat, appearing as if it were screeching at something. It's wings appearing to be wanting to come off the hoodie. On the right side of the hoodie was a black design of the bats head. On the right side, on his chest, was the Animal Strike symbol. On the back of his hoodie was a bat styled number 18, the same one that was on his suit. On the top back of his hoodie were the words, "Sonar Bat". On the bottom back of his hoodie was the phrase, "Sound-waves of the bat".

David's hoodie was sort of light green in color. On the left side of the hoodie was a cool design of a snake, appearing as if it were slithering towards something. It's fangs appearing to be wanting to come off the hoodie. On the right side of the hoodie was a black design of the snake head. On the right side, on his chest, was the Animal Strike symbol. On the back of his hoodie was a snake styled number 19, the same one that was on his suit. On the top back of his hoodie were the words, "Vicious Snake". On the bottom back of his hoodie was the phrase, "Viciousness of a Snake".

"I don't know, what do you guys want to do?" Roberto asked as he looked at all the different sports offered by the Olympic Committee.

"Nothing. There's no point in a sports festival." Saul claimed as he leaned against the counter, looking down at the various forms.

The other guys seemed to agree which only made Roberto shake his head with a smirk. He knew that when he said next would surely convince half of them.

"Ok, but just to let you guys know. Lots of hot chicks watch these games. Especially girls who are into hot athletes." Roberto snickered as half of them ran up to the counter.

"Sign up for an easy sport." David told Danny as they looked for a sport they could compete in.

"Do they have anything for soccer?" Luis asked with crossed arms.

"They don't have full 11v11's but they have skill games and 5v5 futsal." Roberto informed.

"We should try that then. If we really are gonna do this? Why would we do this?" Jason asked, scratching his nape.

"About that, there's actually some scouts coming to the Futsal tournament and they are looking for new recruits to join Beast City FC. I thought about it and this is my chance to set my future. Of course, for after we defeat Axis. If they'll accept me." Roberto picked up a clipboard and placed the Futsal form on it.

"So you just want to use us?" Saul questioned.

"If you want to put it that way, yea. How bout it Saul. You could probably impress Jisoo with this." Roberto nudged Saul's side only to get the older boy to glare at him.

"I'll join you. I think I could also use a chance like that." Luis claimed. "And Anthony's joining too cause he's a soccer player." Luis pulled Anthony over to them.

"I'll give it a shot. Sign me up." Jason clapped.

"Ok, got the five man team." Roberto smiled.

"Who's the fifth?" Anthony asked.

Roberto handed the form to an official who took it and began to work on more registration forms, "Saul."

"What?!" Saul yelled and marched towards him only for the other guys to stop him.

"Hey man, just give it a shot." Jason tried to calm him down.

"Yea man. Just do it, impress Jisoo and bam! Sex." Luis joked making Saul scowl at them.

"What about you David, you got something in mind?" Danny asked the youngest.

"I'm gonna do wrestling. I did that in school so it should be easy." David claimed.

"I'm gonna do basketball. They also have a 5v5 going on." Danny claimed.

"Count me in!" Darell suddenly jumped over and got Danny in a headlock. The other guys of the team arrived, with the exception of Mikey.

"Sign me in also. It could be fun." Jonathan chimed in.

"Maybe we should get Mikey to join also. Isn't he a Golden State Warriors fan?" Danny asked.

"Bleh, the Warriors suck. The Lakers is where it's at. And also, we haven't seen Mikey since this morning and he didn't look like he wanted to do any kind of physical activity. Might be because he trained early this morning." Darell began to show off his lakers shirt to David who was annoyed.

"Then how about you Matthew. And then maybe Osvaldo?" Danny asked.

"Uh, sure. I'll do it." Matthew said with a smile.

"Why not. Gives me a chance to rep my new haircut and haircut services." Osvaldo chuckled.

"You do haircuts, because I may need one?" Jason asked as he ran his hand through his hair.

"What about you Juan?" Jonathan asked.

"I'm just gonna sit it out. Don't need to compete cause I don't really care about this stuff." Juan shrugged.

"And you two?" Darell turned towards Marco and Eduardo.

"We-" before Marco could say anything, the girls burst through the door with the idols following behind them. Jisoo also had on her knee hoodie, which to anyone, just looked like a really cool jacket from a thrift store.

Jisoo's hoodie was black and pink in color. On the left side of the hoodie was a cool design of a eagle, appearing as if it were flying towards the ground with its talons to hunt something. It's wings appearing to be wanting to come off the hoodie. On the right side of the hoodie was a black design of the eagle's head. On the right side, on his chest, was the Animal Strike symbol. On the back of his hoodie was a eagle styled number 20, the same one that was on her suit. On the top back of her hoodie were the words, "Brave Eagle". On the bottom back of her hoodie was the phrase, "Bravery of the Eagle".

"They're apart of our Futsal team. It consists of me, Alicia, Jazmine, Marco and Eduardo." Cynthia claimed with a smirk.

"The Futsal tournament is for all genders?" Saul questioned.

"Yes it is. So be careful with us boys." Cynthia winked and the guys groaned.

"Why are you doing this? Don't you already have like a scholarship or something for volleyball." Anthony shook his head.

"There are no scholarships involved. I just want to participate to show that all girls CAN play Futsal the same way guys do." Cynthia looked at Roberto who visibly gulped.

"What did you say?" David asked. The group then began to get into a big conversation.

Meanwhile, with Saul.

"So you're participating willingly?" Jisoo asked the boy who remained in his spot, letting the wall support him.

"Against my will, but sure. Let's go with willingly." Saul looked at the vending machine next to him and slammed it with his elbow, allowing two sodas to be dispensed from it. "Sprite?"

Jisoo smiled at him and took his offer, taking the sprite bottle and opening it as Saul watched her. Jisoo took in a few sips, looking at Saul as he stared at her. For some reason, he found it hot that she was even drinking sprite. Jisoo finished taking a few sips, closed the bottle and smiled at Saul with a faint blush on her cheeks.

"So you girls participating, or what?" Saul asked, "also, shouldn't you have managers with you guys at all times?"

"We aren't participating because we aren't allowed to. At least, that's what I think. And, Saki gave us a free pass." Jisoo informed.

"A 'free pass'?" Saul questioned.

"Saki convinced the CEO that as long as we have our masks on and we are with our friends in a huge group, we won't need the managers or security guards." Jisoo explained.

"And your CEO is fine with you four befriending 18 total strangers?" Saul asked with a smile, excluding Saki from the Ranger line-up as he mentioned them.

"He's a better CEO than our old one. He's actually cool with a lot of things." Lisa butt into the conversation as she hugged Jisoo, placing her chin on the older girls shoulder.

"I see. Sounds cool." Saul said, not really meaning at all what he was saying. "You know what, maybe you girls can participate in Archery. It isn't that dangerous. Right Saki?" Saul turned to his sister, who just walked up to them.

"Mr. X said we can participate in safe sports if we want to, so I think it's fine. Besides, I know the BLACKPINK members have done archery. Nearly every k-pop idol has done it." Saki spoke in a very optimistic tone as she began naming idols left and right.

"Wait. So we are allowed to participate?" Lisa asked with hope.

"The CEO said it's fine. He also said that it would help with promotions later down the line." Saki beamed a beautiful smile.

"It would help with 'How You Like That's promotion." Saul said as he chugged his sprite.

"How did you-"

"*burp* internet. Your company does not know how to hide things well for your comebacks. Plus, it's been advertised already." Saul stated in a neutral tone.

"Oh, right." Lisa chuckled.

"I'm down to do some archery. How about you girls?" Jisoo turned to her fellow sisters.

"Me and Rosie are in." Jennie smirked.

"I didn't say I wanted to do it. I don't even think I'm that good." Rosé tucked a stray hair out of her way.

"Aw, why so shy now Rosie. You did it in the past and with so much confidence." Jennie gave her a pout.

"That was for video cameras. We're talking about performing in front of billions of sports fans from around the globe." Rosé turned away while rubbing her left arm.

"So? You've performed in front of millions of screaming fans and you always gave it your all with a smile plastered on your face. What's the difference with the festival and a concert and or world tour." Saul crossed his arms as he spoke.

"This is sports and that's singing and dancing." Rosé responded.

"How about I teach you how to properly shoot an arrow?" Saul asked the shy girl.

"No, it's ok. I don't want to do it." Rosé turned away.

"Well, I do. Come on Rosie, it'll be fun." Lisa hugged the chipmunk.

"She's right Rosie. And besides, I think you'll be able to impress, you know who." Jennie wiggled her eyebrows as she elbowed Rosé's side, causing the blonde to blush furiously, "In fact, he's right over there!" Jennie pointed in a direction, getting the small group to look over.

"Is that..." Saki took a moment and then shrieked, scaring everyone, including the two bickering parties, "BTS!!!"

"Behind the scenes?! Where??" Anthony looked around and received a slap on the head by an angry Saki.

"I'll burn you." She stated in a demonic voice, making Antony gulp.

"So cliché." Alicia crossed her arms.

"What is?" Darell questioned cautiously.

"BLACKPINK and BTS being shipped together just because they are the biggest K-Pop groups in the world." Alicia sighed.

"But in this case, one of those might come true. It's just not one that everyone was expecting." Jennie smirked.

"Who's that?" Saki asked.

"Rosé, stop staring at Namjoon." Jisoo smirked as well, causing the girl to get red cheeks.

"Hey guys!" The mentioned boy band member called out as he saw the idols and walked over to them.

"Namjoon-Oppa! OMG! I'm like your biggest fan! Are you also competing in the festival?!" Saki latched into the idols side, security teams getting ready to tackle her only for the idol to calm them down.

"Yea, I am. I'm doing archery in fact." Saki squealed at this but the idol looked at someone else, "Hey, Rosé. You ok now?"

At this point, Saul had an irritated expression, as noticed by Danny who mentioned it to everyone else. Rosé began to panic, wanting to avoid talking to him and so she turned to Saul.

"Sorry! My friend is going to teach me how to do archery! Gotta go!" Rosé grabbed Saul's arm and dragged him faster than even the yellow Ranger could run.

"Guess that means I'm signing her up." Lisa grinned.

"Well, guess that means we're all signing up! Now seriously. Where's Mikey?!" Roberto nearly yelled.

Watching someone train with a sword would be a rare sight. How about a man with two swords. That's what many people could say they saw when they passed through Beast Park.

Mikey stood in an hidden opening, hidden amongst the trees. Training dummies around him, all immovable, stuck to the ground. Holding his sabers, and with a blindfold on, Mikey took in deep breaths. He began to locate his targets using his concentration.

Why was he doing this? Well, since the battle between him, Zaku and Juan a couple of weeks ago, he's been feeling the urge to get better at sword fighting. He could barely hold his own against Zaku without a team and then Juan pushed him away so easily when Jose had taken over.

He also felt weak at the hands of Hunter, who had managed to shoot him in the back with ease. Mikey understands that being a blue means he is a second in command type of Ranger. And to be second in command, you must always be ready for everything.

With one final breath, the targets began to shoot tennis balls at him with the hidden launchers they had on. Mikey took in a sharp breath before turning to his right, allowing his grip to release on the sabers, the handles slipping from his grasp before grabbing the hilt of each saber and spinning around, cutting each tennis ball in half.

The tennis balls launched at a faster rate the faster he moved, the motion sensors built in them sensing each of his moves. He moved swiftly and some would say his movements were similar to that of a shark swimming underwater. Mikey continued his movements as soon as he felt the final ball shoot out of the cannon, he ended his movement with a downward slash, a visible blue energy cut was made in the air before disappearing as soon as his sabers made it to his sides.

He stood up tall and let out his breath, a breath he held in for a while. He felt the warm breeze of the incoming summer hit him. He had studied sharks and their movements and, thanks to Mick, he managed to perfect some moves. His sensory abilities were heightened but still had room to improve. Such a fact was proven as a launcher shot out one last ball that seemed to be stuck in the cannons barrel.

Mikey sensed the incoming projectile and quickly maneuvered one of his sabers to block it. He smacked it out of his way and sent it flying into the trees. He took off his blindfold and stared at the direction it went. He let out a long sigh and turned towards his backpack filled with his water bottle and his towel. That's when he heard a loud "ow" from outside the openings entrance.

He quickly ran towards the entrance covered with various trees and exited the clearing, hitting the stray branches in his way. He came to the path just outside of the entrance that was covered by the larger oak trees present. He looked around and found a girl on the ground rubbing her head, the tennis ball rolling around beside her.

"Yo! Are you ok?!" Mikey ran over to her and got down on one knee as he tried to see the girls face to make sure the tennis ball didn't leave a mark. The girl removed her hand, wincing in pain as she looked up at Mikey who stopped. He felt his heartbeat quicken as he stared into her eyes. How cliché.

"I'm fine. Just stings. Were you the one who hit the ball?" Despite her appearance, the girl spoke perfect English. Mikey a studied the girls features. She had long, almost dirty blonde colored hair similar to that of Mikey's. She wore a simple white gym shirt and a pair of black leggings with white runners.

"Woah." Mikey visibly gulped. The girl smiled shyly and looked away while tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry." Mikey caught himself, "and sorry about the tennis ball. I'm a real... competitive player." Mikey helped the girl up and stood in front of her awkwardly.

"It's ok. You've got a heck of a shot." She commented, making the blue ranger chuckle nervously.

"I'm always improving." Mikey scratched his nape.

"Well, I gotta get going." The girl retreated back a little.

"Wait! What's your name?" Mikey questioned, the girl looking a little shy.

"Ah, my names Lia." She answered, making Mikey smile.

"What a nice name. I'm Mikey. It's nice to meet you." Mikey held out his hand. Lia looked a little tense but when she saw Mikey's smile, she calmed down. She took his hand and shook it.

"Are you new around here?" Mikey asked, making Lia tense a little but calm down again.

"Actually, I am. How did you know?" Lia was being a little cautious and Mikey could feel it so he tried to sound more friendly than menacing.

"It's just, in all the years I've been to this city, no one ever takes this path when running. It's really rare for you to see anyone just walking around here. Even the cities low life's stay away. I think it has to do with that legend of a wolf man sneaking around here." Mikey looked around at all the greets that covered the sunlight, thinking of the Caste as the inspiration for his small tale.

"Really. Well, I wanted to go on a run and explore the city a little. Me and my friends were just moved here and we are gonna go exploring later but I wanted to get my workout in. So here I am. I'm still a little confused on the paths as you can see." Lia giggled with a faint blush.

"Well, maybe... if you want... I can show you guys around. It's a big city after all." Mikey looked around again.

"Really? That would be great. If you could... but I have to speak with our manager first." Mikey took an interest in this and didn't know whether to curse his luck or thank it.

"Let me guess. K-Pop Idol?" Mikey asked with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. Lia was tense again but Mikey let out a soft chuckle, "It's ok, I won't tell anyone. I can keep a secret. Also, I happen to already know a few idols myself."

"No way. What a small world. Well, I think I should take you with me then. If my manager can see that you are trustworthy, I'm sure she'll let us go out with you." Lia smiled a bright gummy smile that caused Mikey's heart to beat faster.

"Uh, yea sure. But I'm probably gonna have to meet you at your place. I have somethings I need to pick up and then," Mikey sniffed his shirt, "probably go change. I was also just working out."

"I can see that. Ok, how about I give you my phone number. You do seem trustworthy." Lia pulled her phone out. Mikey reached for his phone which he luckily stuffed in his back pocket during training.

They exchanged numbers and Lia was off. Mikey watched as she disappeared. He hadn't even noticed she had a face mask, which she had put on after their conversation. Probably not wanting to run the risk of running into yet another person who could identify her.

Mikey just let out another soft chuckle and returned to his space, just in time for his phone to ring. He looked at it and read the name.

"What do you guys want?"

"And one, and two, and three and four!" Byxis jumped around in his lab, an old style television set on his lab table playing some old workout program. The goblin himself was sweating buckets, with some of that sweat falling onto his sweatbands and his headband.

Just as he was getting to the most hectic part, Zaku walked in, more like stomped in, and glared at the goblin.

"What the hell are you doing!" Zaku roared.

"Regretting a decision. That's for sure." Byxis let out bitterly.

"What do you-" the dog-like monster's question was answered as someone came running in.

"Oh yea! What a workout. How are we doing in here?" A monster asked as he chuckled, speaking in an accent that seemed like a mix of German and Austrian. The monster itself had the body of a bodybuilder, with various sports symbols tattooed onto his arms. He looked like he wore a variety of sports uniforms with a double zero on his back along with his name, "Sporbolt". His body was in a sort of yellow and pinkish color with red and blue splashed into the mix. He wore big red sports shoes and had on shorts like a trackstars. His face was made up of a variety of different sports balls, mostly the four biggest ones, soccer, basketball, baseball and football. He also had yellow colored eyes and a sewn on mouth. A variety of other sports items stuck out of his head and body.

"Who the hell are you?" Zaku growled.

"This is Sporbolt, one of the best athletes in the universe." Raiyu stepped in and presented the monster who began to run in place while flexing his muscles.

"That's right. No one could beat me. I'm the best around. Look at me, I am huge." Sporbolt flexed with an evil chuckle.

"You brought him in?" Zaku asked Raiyu.

"With the help of Byxis. This monster will be able to do something that could benefit us. Turn the rangers on each other." Raiyu explained.

"That's right. As long as the rangers touch a piece of sport equipment that I created, then they will become way to competitive to even work with each other. Thus, making themselves turn on each other to be the best around. Just like me. All time MVP of the villainous sports league." Sporbolt flexed again, his muscles almost bulging.

"Allow me to make sure his job is done." Lozari popped up.

"Heh. I won't let you anywhere near my plot. Master Axis has already given me permission to go through with this. So stay out of my way. Let's go, Sporbolt." Raiyu pushed past Lozari who chuckled.

"Finally!" Byxis fell onto his back due to drowsiness before falling asleep.

"So, Zaku. I wanted to ask you about Caste." Lozari questioned.

"I don't have to tell you anything. Don't even talk to me." Zaku pushed him away and left.

"Master Axis entrusted us with Caste. I need to know more though. Come on Zaku." Lozari whispered to himself.

Saul began to yawn as Mr. X spoke to the two CEO's of the other two companies that made up K-Pop's The Big Three. Sakura snapped her fingers at him and Saul stared at her in disbelief.

"How does a girl go from 'I love you' to 'I fucking hate you'. Women." Saul muttered before hearing his name.

"My top manager, Mr. Saul Alvizo, was the one who saved the girls along with help from his assistant Sakura. According to them, your security and management teams fled the airport as soon as the monsters arrived." Mr. X explained as he motioned for the latter two to walk up to him.

The two obeyed, and stood in front of the huge tv conference. Saul studied the faces of the two CEO's. SM and JYP, is what he simply called them, not wanting to remember names.

"Thank you very much for hello g our girls get to safety. I am grateful." JYP thanked with a small bow. Saul tried to piece together the Korean he didn't know from that sentence while Sakura was already accepting the thanks with a bow of her own.

"Yes, I guess we should be thanking you. Mr. X, perhaps we could discuss future collaborations now and speak more about your top manager." SM claimed. Mr. X nodded with a smile.

"You two are dismissed. Have a great rest of your day and get plenty of rest." The two managers bowed and left the room. Once out, Saul let out a huge yawn.

"Finally! That was so boring!" Saul nearly yelled.

"Shut up. Those three are some of the most powerful CEO's and I don't just mean in the entertainment industry." Sakura glared at him.

"I don't care much. Anyways, isn't today the day they we go to England for something involving Jennie's solo. I've gotta go support my bestie!" Saul ran down the hallway with Sakura screaming at him to stop.

Saul kept going until he nearly crashed into a smartly dressed man. The man adjusted his glasses as Saul recovered from his crash. Sakura appeared and gasped as she ran over to them.

"I'm so sorry for his behavior." Sakura apologized.

"No need to worry." The man claimed and smiled at Saul. Saul then felt chills roll up his spine and his eyes widen. The image of a wolf in the rain appeared in his head and he felt as if he held in his breath.

Saul then felt himself get snapped out of the trance with Sakura doing the latter action in front of Saul's face. She then used her fingers to flick his head.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Sakura yelled at him.

"Nothing. Leave me alone!" Saul pushed her out of the way and ran off.

'What the hell was that?' Saul thought to himself.

After a while, he burst through the door of the recording studio and closed it. He looked to see the girls and a few of the producers look over at him.

"Yo! There's a crazy killer out there. She wants to rip my head off. But I think I lost her." Saul said. The producers just raised their eyebrows but the girls giggled at his stupid humor.

"Who's this again?" One of the producers asked.

"He's our manager. Saul." Rosé informed.

"Bestie!" Jennie ran up to him and hugged him.

Saul picked her up and spun her around, getting her to laugh. Jennie hugged him tighter and Saul felt his heart beat faster before setting her down.

"You ready to go? Plane leaves in a few. Hours, not minutes." Saul corrected and chuckled.

"My bags are ready to go at the dorm." Jennie claimed.

"Great, let's go! Hop on!" Saul picked Jennie up and put her on top of the table. She then jumped on his back as the door opened.

"Bye Sakura!" Saul yelled as he ran past her and disappeared down the hallway, leaving everyone confused.

"Saul!" Sakura yelled back as she ran after him.

"Those two are meant for each other." Teddy began to kid as he got back to work with the other producers. Jisoo just looked at the door with a faint sadness in her eyes.

"Unnie? Are you ok?" Rosé asked.

"Yea. I'm fine. Just hope Saul and Jennie make it back safely." Jisoo gave a weak smile but felt her heart break when she saw Saul's interaction with Jennie.

The sound of a whistle blew into the practice field, causing the guys to cover their ears. Roberto juggled a ball in his hands as he walked in front of his team like the captain he was.

"All right boys. It's time for some training. I understand that you guys would've loved to have slept in but with Cynthia being the type of person she is, I don't want to lose. I need winners." Roberto claimed.

"If you wanted winners, then maybe you should've looked for people who actually care about this." Anthony groaned, Luis and Jason agreed as they did different stretches to wake up their aching bodies.

"The training last night was difficult and you want us to keep going with soccer now. You te crazy." Jason winced his face in pain.

"Plus you brought us to Beast City Sports Park. Isn't it Futsal. I don't remember this park having a court for that?" Luis claimed with a yawn. Next to him, Saul was asleep, standing up.

Roberto then blew his whistle in Saul's face, causing the leader of the rangers to wake up and stumble back before falling on his ass. Saul groaned in pain while Roberto approached him with his arms behind his back, "Do you think this is a time for sleeping! You are here to train! I'm the coach and you're just the student ready to learn! Got that!"

"Yell at me again and I'll rip your fucking throat out!" Saul got up and growled with force. The trees around them swayed as a shockwave of energy was shot from the boy and traveled through the sky. Roberto cowered back and cleared his throat.

"Noted. Anyways, can we just please train guys. I really want to impress these guys." Roberto looked as if he were ready to plead. The guys looked in between each other and then back at Roberto.

...

"Pass over here! Over here!" Anthony shot the ball over to Luis who finished with a goal, leaving a defeated Jason on the floor.

"Yes! Good job! Switch! Let's go guys!" Roberto called out. Saul and Jason, a current team, now took the offensive while the other two defended the goal. A simple training exercise to help Roberto see what he's working with.

"Well well well, look what we have here. It's great to see you boys training. You clearly know that you can't beat us." Cynthia claimed with a smirk as she arrived with her team and the idols.

"We aren't gonna lose. We have some real winners here." Roberto claimed with a big smile while he ran his finger across the front of his hat.

"Watch out!" Luis' voice called as the ball was kicked over to the group. It came to a halt in front of Jennie who looked up as Saul cake running towards the ball. She decided to help and kicked the ball directly at Saul, kicking it a little harder than she wanted to.

Saul saw this but it happened too fast and it hit him right in the biscuits. Saul groaned in pain as he quickly held his crotch in his hand before slowly falling to his knees and letting out a "ow~" through his closed mouth.

"Ani!" Saki called out.

"OMG! I'm so sorry!" Jennie ran over to him as he fell into a weird position, his ass sticking up in the air.

"He's such a winner. I mean, not everyone can get hit in the balls by a pretty girl. On target too." Cynthia chuckled, but earned confused stares from her team and a sad sigh from Roberto.

"Hey Jennie. Massage his balls for him. Just place your hand gently on there." Jason laughed as Luis and Anthony joined him, playfully punching Jason before laughing as well. Jennie just blushed as Saul flipped them off.

...

Saul groaned as he held the ice pack on his groin, annoyed and angry. Roberto and his team now sat on the concrete bleachers under a large silver roof, that provided shade from the sun. Roberto rubbed his face, feeling scared and nervous.

"Bro, why are you so nervous?" Luis asked him as he finished drinking from a bottle of Gatorade.

"This is an important event and I need to win. I just need too." Roberto clenched his fist.

"I thought you weren't from Beast City. How could-" Luis began but Roberto stopped him.

"I'm not from here but it's still important." Roberto stated. Just then, his phone vibrated. He looked at it and sighed. He got up, grabbing his bag, "you guys mind coming back her tonight. I have to take care of something right now." Roberto asked.

"How's 6:30 sound?" Jason asked.

"Perfect. I'll see you guys later." Roberto left in haste.

"I have to go also. Rosé wants me to teach her how to do archery. Even though she's already done it before." Saul left also, leaving the three boys behind.

"What do we do now?" Jason asked.

"Basketball?" Luis asked the two who looked at him.

"And this is Beast City Zoo, right across the street from the famed Beast City Central Park. That also concludes our tour of Beast City. One day late of course, sorry about that." Mikey gave a cheeky grin to Lia who smiled with a faint blush.

"This place is huge!" A young with long black hair and big eyes stated as she looked at the Zoo's arch sign.

"Yah, Yuna. Calm down. Thanks for the tour Mikey." A girl with cat-like eyes stated as she bowed. Mikey stared at her a little longer than he should have which was noticed by another girl with shoulder-length brown hair.

"Yeji seems to be getting that guys attention huh, Chae?" The girl asked the red head that stood next to her.

"Yup. But the same can be said about Lia. Lia's being a little shy though." The red head spoke with a smaller voice, almost as if she was afraid of getting caught of talking.

"Ryujin! Chaeryeong! What are you guys talking about!" Yuna popped up next to the girls who jumped a little.

"Nothing." Ryujin crossed her arms.

"Would you guys like to go inside. I actually work here." Mikey said while scratching his nape awkwardly.

"Really!" The five girls squealed. Mikey smiled before hearing a scream in the distance.

"Mikey!" Steel came running from the entrance.

"Steel! What happened? Uh, this is Steel. The Zoo's mascot." Mikey quickly explained to the girls who stared at the robot.

"I know, I'm amazing. But no time for that. The sharks are having a problem in the aquatic section. I need your help now!" Steel grabbed Mikey and began running but Mikey stopped him.

"Wait! I'm kind of showing these girls around. Can't you get someone else to do it?" Mikey asked.

"You know I can't." Steel said, referring to his animal spirit.

"Fine. But we have to take them with us. Their manager put me in charge of them." Mikey explained. "Girls. There seems to be an emergency in the zoo. You wouldn't mind waiting until we do an official tour of the zoo, would you?" Mikey asked.

"Of course not. And we're happy to come with you." Lia claimed.

"Great. Let's go then. Everyone in!" Mikey led the girls and Steel into the zoo. Upon entry, they ran to the nearest tourist cart that was left unoccupied.

...

"All they wanted was something to eat Steel. I told you that you could take care of that." Mikey said as he swam up to the edge of the tank atop the roof, where there was also a small rest area for VIP's who could come and observe the sharks more closely, which was where the five girls were currently sitting.

"Is he seriously swimming in there with sharks all around him?" Yuna asked with a shiver. The other girls didn't say a word as they were too impressed, seeing various shark fins swimming behind Mikey.

"Sorry about that. I was actually busy being amazing at my job that I forgot it was their feeding time. I just love to see the faces of people when I take off my head. Which is a trick I know." Steel stated. Mikey pushed himself out of the water, the girls all looking at him with wide eyes and their mouths open. Yeji couldn't help but bite her lip.

Mikey put his shirt back on before hearing his phone ring one more time. He roamed a little and was handed the phone by Steel. He looked at the message he received and shook his head.

"Hey, you girls alright?" Mikey asked as he walked over to them, a towel over his shoulder.

"Yea, we're cool." Ryujin responded cooly.

"Well, we can do that tour thing now, if you want?" Mikey asked and the girls got very excited that they nearly squealed again.

Saul stood fifteen feet from three targets set up in the trees. He let his focus zero in on one target. The one straight ahead of him. The other two were placed in the trees above. Saul pulled up his red and black colored bow, a custom made bow for training, and placed an arrow upon it, pulling back the string once the arrow was attached.

With one eye closed, Saul kept his sights on the target in front of him. He took in a deep breath, correcting his form little by little. If anyone were to be watching, they would be focused on his form. Only until he fires the arrow, which he was ready to do.

With one final breath, Saul felt the string of the bow reach its end. If he pulled any further back, it would surely snap in half. Saul aimed... aimed... aimed... then he let go of the arrow. The bow sling forward, shooting the arrow out of the base and towards the target.

Bullseye.

Saul spun around, pulling out another arrow and placing it back on the base of the bow. He aimed quickly and fired at one of the tree targets. He then spun in the opposite direction, pulling out another arrow and firing it towards the other target. All three targets now stood with a bullseye in each one.

Letting out a breath, Saul let the weapon fall to his side as he turned around. The targets disappeared almost virtually as the room revealed itself to be a false jungle. It reverted to the white walls of the training simulation room.

"[Simulation Complete]" the computerized voice stated.

"And that's how you shoot an arrow. And you would know that if you payed attention." Saul walked over to Rosé, who was currently looking at a news article on her phone. Her phone was then yanked away by the boy in front of her as he looked at what she was looking at. Rosé didn't let him as she slapped her phone out of his hand.

"Christ, where'd you learn how to do that?" Saul asked as he flicked his hand up and down in pain.

"Playing guitar has its perks. Plus, I've been in your body," she shivered, "and somehow I managed to pick up a few things." Rosé stated.

"Yea, it wasn't a walk in the park for me either. Anyways, stop paying attention to this and let's train. Cause I've gotta go back down to the sports park to train for the tournament." Saul grabbed Rosé's phone from the ground and noticed that she managed to turn it off. He handed it over to her, her fingers slightly grazing his knuckle as she retrieved her phone. They both seemed to have noticed the slight intimate touch but shook it off as Saul pulled out his own phone.

Pushing a few buttons, he slid the screen to the right and the room was enveloped in light once again, taking the form of a jungle. The sounds of birds singing was heard as Saul handed his bow over to Rosé.

Rosé then looked down as a single target appeared straight ahead of her. She took in a deep breath and pulled out an arrow from the holder to her side. She placed the arrow in its place, aiming the bow.

"Ok, stop right there. You're posture is all wrong." Saul stated as he stood behind her. This took Rosé by surprise as he held her arms and straightened her back. He placed his hand on the small of her back and felt him push. Something inside her found this somehow pleasing. Maybe even arousing, feeling his hands on her body.

He straightened her shoulders and held her hands as he helped her aim properly, the arrow seemingly now pointing at the target. She tried to ignore the feeling of Saul behind her, but something poked at her butt which made her cheeks go red.

Saul had also realized what his bottom half was touching and back away a little, feeling embarrassed but hiding it, "Ok, that should do it. Try firing the arrow now." Saul stated with crossed arms.

Rosé aimed the bow with one eye closed. After a few deep breaths, she pulled back the string and released the arrow from the bow, the arrow piercing the air before hitting the target. It had managed to hit the second white line to the top. Rosé let out a breath she didn't even know she had held.

She tried again, keeping the posture that she had. Saul couldn't help but admire her. She looked hot the way she was standing. Looking back at her look in the 'Kill This Love' MV, he could imagine her in that outfit with the bow and arrow, just as she was now. Rosé aimed the arrow and looked like a goddess. Saul could easily name her Athena, the Olympian goddess of war.

But Rosé was a goddess on her own. Rosé could literally pass as a goddess in her own right. A queen amongst the common folk. Saul's mind was racing but he was snapped from his trance when Rosé celebrated. He looked at the target and saw that another arrow had hit the red at the top but a third arrow hit the brim of the bullseye.

"What are you celebrating?" Saul questioned as he went to get the arrows.

"I got a bullseye." Rosé stated.

"No, you hit the border between the bullseye and the white line around it." Saul took the arrows and walked back to Rosé who rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. It's not like I want to do this." Rosé stated as she looked away.

"Then let's not waste anytime." Saul said as he grabbed the bow from her hand, "You clearly are ok with embarrassing yourself in front of your fans." Saul stated trying to pull the bow. Rosé held onto it though, not thinking about the fans but about someone else.

"No... please keep training me." Rosé seemed to plead.

Saul managed to get the bow from her grip and chuckled, "Nah, I don't want to."

Saul began to walk away but Rosé continued to plead. When she saw that Saul wasn't budging, she decided to do something she'd never do, "Saul!"

The boy turned around only to find the girl running at him, tacking him to the ground. Saul groaned on the ground as Rosé sat on his stomach, her legs fallen to Saul's side while her hands held onto his chest. Saul felt his cheeks warm up again as did Rosé.

"Please teach me." Rosé said to Saul who closed his eyes.

"Damn, I didn't expect you to do something like that. You're full of surprises Roseanne." Saul stated. He looked up at Rosé, her brown eyes alluring, staring right into his. He could see her begging through her eyes. He didn't know why she wanted to but he agreed. Rosé clapped her hands and smiled as she got up. Saul got up and rubbed his head before walking back to where they were.

"Good job Roseanne. This is perfect." Rosé was a bit surprised to hear the voice from her vision again. She turned her head slightly, seeing the figure standing behind her through her stray blonde hair.

She shook her head and walked over to Saul, thinking about how to perfect her shot.

The lights of the sports park lit up the night, the soccer field below lightly illuminated from said lights. Currently, there was a group of teens playing on one side of the field. Meanwhile, Jason sat against the opposite goal, eating from a bag of Takis.

"Have you been here since earlier in the afternoon?" Jason turned to see Mikey and Anthony arrive.

"I had nothing else to do, so I just hung around here for a while. Met some cute girls. All that stuff." Jason finished eating and crumpled up his trash, stuffing it into his backpack.

"Let's just get this over with." Anthony sighed.

Over on a walkway, Roberto was walking towards the farthest field while on a phone call, "Yea. I got it. Thanks for letting me know Nurse." He said before hanging up. He stopped walking and looked at his phone.

"I have to do this. I promise I'll make my mark... mom." Roberto pushed his phone into his pocket.

"What are you doing here? I thought you'd already be at the park." Roberto jumped at the sound of someone behind him. Saul walked up behind him.

"Oh, just a little late. You know. Took a nap earlier so I woke up late." Roberto chuckled nervously.

"O~K," Saul squint his eyes but shook his head. The two walked over to the field, finding the other three already there.

Further away, up on the highest level of the concrete bleachers. Sporbolt cackled to himself as he created a soccer ball with his bare hands. He juggled it around. The ball itself seemed to glow a vibrant purple color.

"What are you waiting for?" Raiyu appeared behind Sporbolt.

"I found me some rangers. And it's time to distract them. Once the rangers are distracted, we can finally begin our plan to take over this planet." Sporbolt began to juggle the ball with his feet.

"First we destroy the rangers. Then we take over the planet." Raiyu clenched his fist.

"And here's our opportunity. Time to move." Sporbolt watched as a soccer ball hit the bottom bleachers and shot up towards him. He quickly, but swiftly, threw the ball at the ground.

"Way to go Anthony!" Was heard as Anthony ran over to the bleachers. He stopped and looked up to see who threw the ball back. He caught view of a man in a simple joggers uniform, wearing a visor and some fingerless gloves. His white sports shoes were dirtied with dirt.

"Yo yo yo!" The man spoke with enthusiasm. "Better watch where your ball goes." The man smirked.

Anthony grabbed the ball, and as soon as he did, he felt his body shake as his eyes glowed with a purplish gold color.

"Yea, whatever." Anthony stated as he walked away, letting the ball fall to his feet as he began to run.

"Here comes the try hard." Luis shook his head.

At hearing this, Anthony shot the ball directly at them. Saul and Jason fell out of the way as it hit Luis in the chest. It flew up and fell onto Luis' hands. Luis' eyes then glowed the same color as Anthony's.

"You call that a kick. My grandma could do better than you!" Luis dropped the ball and kicked it.

It went straight for Jason who caught it in his own hands, "Hey-" he was cut off as the same glow happened in his eyes, "-losers, you ain't got game like me!" Jason kicked the ball at Luis again, who dodged it, letting the ball hit the lost and go straight for Saul who hit it with his fist. Saul's eyes then glowed next as the ball fell in front of Roberto.

"You gonna play now, or just stand there like a pussy!" Saul remarked, making the other guys laugh. Roberto's eyebrows furrowed as he picked up the ball. Then... his eyes glowed.

"I'm gonna win this whole thing!" Roberto smashed his fist onto the ball with a huge smirk.

"What are you guys doing here?!" Saki cried out as various idols appeared at the sports park.

"We're here to practice for the sports festival. I guess others had the same idea." Namjoon stated to the girl he met a few days back.

"Yea, our staffers are setting up the targets on one of the fields." Suga chimed in.

"Ugh, can I watch!" Saki begged.

"Uh sure. But what about your friends?" Namjoon asked.

"As long as you let us use the part of the field that you aren't using." Cynthia bounced the soccer ball she had on the ground.

"Did you want to come practice with us girls?" Namjoon asked the BP girls who were also present.

"Uh, sure." Lisa responded.

Meanwhile...

"He shoots, he scores!" Darell cheered as his made a basket.

"Great. Now how about you try passing." Jonathan said as he caught the basketball.

"Yea yea, I know." Darell said as he looked up at the blue sky, taking in the fresh air.

"Where's Mikey?" Danny groaned.

"He said he was gonna be late. Said he had to meet someone." Matthew answered.

"Is it the same someone he said he was with yesterday. When I texted him that we signed him up and that we had practice, he left me on read." Darell complained.

"Never knew Laker fans were whiners." The four boys turned to see Mikey arrive with five girls following.

"Says the Warrior fan." Darell grabbed the ball and threw it at Mikey, who caught it.

"Hey, relax. We have guests." Mikey said as he bounced the ball.

"Speaking of..." Matthew lifted an eyebrow.

"Ah, sorry for intruding on your practice. But we met Mikey at the entrance so we just followed along." Lia stated. The guys noticed they were in workout clothes.

"Are you guys participating in the sports festival?" Jonathan asked.

"Yea. We decided we could try basketball, just for fun." Lia stated, "Oh, we haven't introduced ourselves." They then each introduced themselves to the group.

"Well, since you guys are gonna participate in the basketball tournament, how about we ply a little game. Boys vs Girls." Darell stated.

"Wait, is the basketball tournament also for all genders?" Matthew asked Danny.

"That's what I read." Danny said.

"Ok then, it's settled. You're Ryujin right? You're taking Mikey's place so he can play with the girls." Darell then shot the ball at the basket and missed, Jonathan jumping up to catch it.

"Let's just do our regular teams. And go easy." Mikey warned.

"Don't go easy. Just because we're girls, doesn't mean we can't fight." Ryujin flexed her arm.

"Alright, we've got a game." Darell smirked.

"I win!" The group of ten turned to see five more boys make an appearance.

"It's Roberto and his team." Danny pointed out.

"Heh, you slowpokes aught to train better to beat me." Roberto stated.

"Ha, just because you won this little race doesn't mean you're gonna be the MVP." Saul pushed Roberto back.

"I will man. I've got to. Too much on the line!" Roberto pushed him back.

"Not if I have anything to say about it." Jason gave almost an evil smirk.

"Man, out of my way. I've got to go work out." Luis pushed them away and then they all saw the guys.

"Yo, whats up guys!" Darell threw the ball towards them. Anthony caught it.

"Yo, over here?" Jonathan called for it. Anthony instead bounced the ball and walked over to them.

"Weird." Danny noted.

Antony got closer and saw as Jonathan walked up to him. He blocked Anthony, "try to make it foo." He laughed. Anthony nodded his head.

Everyone watched as Anthony just bounced the ball. It was like watching a child learn how to do it Anthony seemed to have no intention of moving. The girls watched with questions of their own coming to mind.

"Bro, you gonna shoot or-" before Jonathan could finish his sentence, Anthony harshly bodied him, throwing the navy ranger on the ground before jumping back and throwing the ball, causing the net to go swish as it went in. The others were in shock, even the girls.

"Hah!" The other four guys behind Anthony laughed as Jonathan groaned, lifting himself up but staying seated on the ground.

"Bro, what the fuck was that?" The boy on the ground asked.

"Heh, chump." Anthony smirked as he caught the ball that bounced back to him.

"Look man, Jonathan's gonna cry. Man up!" Jason laughed as did the other guys.

"Bro, what the fuck is wrong with you guys.?" Darell asked as he took the ball back, ripping it from Anthony's hands.

"Man, shut the fuck to Darell. You ain't got no game!" Luis high fived Jason after this comment.

"Hey, why are you guys acting so differently." Mikey walked up to Anthony.

"Man, we ain't gotta stay here and listen to you. But, uh... the honeys behind you can come and watch us work out and practice." Roberto flexed his arms. Mikey seemingly stepped back towards the girls who were now aware of who Roberto was talking about.

"Yo, come on Mikey. You got five hotties and you're gonna keep 'em for yourself." Luis asked as the guys began to walk up to them.

"Damn baby girl, That red hair looking so fine on you." Mikey's eyes widened in horror as he turned to see Saul already way to close to Chaeryeong, who seemed very uncomfortable.

"Bro, stay-" Mikey tried to push Saul but Saul pushed him back.

"You five should come cheer us on." Saul said as he eyed Yuna, the young idol now hiding behind Ryujin who seemed annoyed.

"Stop right now!" Mikey pushed Saul back by the chest.

"Or what! You ain't gonna tell your leader what he can and can not do! You're only second in command after all." Saul pushed Mikey back, making the boy trip on his own feet as he fell on the ground.

"Mikey!" Yeji and Lia came to his aide.

"Oh, looks like Saul's taking out the competition." Roberto laughed again as the guys once again high fived.

"Stop being a fucking jerk!" Darell came to push Saul, but Saul pushed him away. He then grabbed Chaeryeong's waist and held her dangerously close. The girl was panicking.

"Let her go!" Ryujin hit Saul's arm but Saul grabbed her waist too. She tried to push against his grip but that didn't work. Eventually, Saul's grip on them began to hurt them. The girls began to wince in pain as they felt his fingers push against their waists.

"You're hurting them!" Mikey got up infuriated as the girls let out yelps of pain.

"Man, fuck off!" Saul growled as his eyes glowed red.

"Nah! You're fucking hurting them!" Mikey's eyes seemingly turned a shade of blue as he felt his rage begin to overtake him.

The two fiercely stared at each other, both of them with seeking anger as a larger group of people gathered. Danny and Matthew looked over recognizing the group.

"Saul? What's going on? What are you doing with Itzy?!" Asked a confused Saki.

"None of your business, that's for sure." Saul spat.

"Ouch! It really hurts!" Chaeryeong began to tear up.

"Saul, let her go!" Saki called out.

"Saul. The four BP idols said as even more people came into view.

"What the fuck is it with this town and the idols?" Anthony asked with a shake of his head.

"Anthony?" Tzuyu looked over at the black ranger who looked back at her.

"Yo, don't think about home when you can look at this!" Jason shoved Anthony out of the way as he flexed his arms.

"Saul!" Mikey yelled as a final warning. Saul smirked, the girls in his arms tearing up and grunting as the pain grew bigger. At this point, even Namjoon along with the other guys around clenched their fists.

"Chul, the fuck are you doing!" Sebastian and Neo appeared from behind Eduardo and Marco.

"My king? What kind of behavior is this?" Neo questioned. Saul let out a laugh and let go of the girls. Not before lifting their chins up and placing a kiss on their cheeks.

"Sorry about that. Neo just reminded me that it's not these girls I should care about." Saul walked over to the bigger group that gathered. Everyone watched him with careful eyes as he approached Jennie and Rosé.

"Saul? Don't!" Mikey warned.

"These are my girls!" Saul said as he held onto the two girls, slapping their asses and kissing them on their necks roughly. The girls let out small shrieks and broken moans.

Everyone around felt uncomfortable and frozen. Namjoon, being the leader he is, was about to push Saul off but someone had already beat him to the punch.

Mikey roughly pulled Saul back by his shirt and shot a punch across the leaders face, making him stumble and grab onto the courts pole. Saul's eyes were widened as he felt the sting of the punch.

"My king!" Sebastian stopped Neo from even moving as everyone felt the strong aura emitting from Mikey. Mikey was breathing heavily and glared at Saul.

"I'm tired of you doing what you want. You're just a fucking brat." Mikey spat and Saul's eyes glared right back.

"You piece of shit!" Saul lunged himself forward, charging towards Mikey. The blue Ranger prepared himself and as Saul got closer, he grabbed his collar and arm before lifting him off the ground and smashing him into the ground.

Everyone around let out a wince as they could feel that in their own backs. Mikey let him go and backed up as Saul stood up, slowly.

"So... you think you can defy your leader?" Saul questioned.

Mikey raised an eyebrow, "I'm your second in command and it's my job to-"

"Bullshit. There's only need for one leader. That's that." Saul's voice was deeper than before but Mikey didn't feel the fear that a few others were.

"What you just did, hurting these girls, it's unforgivable. But I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt by not beating the shit out of you from where you stand. I've told you about my sister before. She didn't just suffer from terrible rumors being spread." Mikey walked over to the five idols that were with him.

Saul smirked, letting out a sarcastic laugh. Mikey smiled at the girls who's eyes widened. Before anyone knew knew it, Saul shoved Mikey violently into Lia. Mikey stopped himself from hitting her and turned around, punching Saul in the face again but Saul didn't budge as he tackled Mikey's and charged straight into another court, crashing into a pole.

Mikey felt the pain strike in his back and winced. He then kicked Saul back and punched him again, making the leader stumble but not fall. Mikey ran at him but was hit with a spinning kick from the leader who smirked. Everyone around them watched, none of them knowing what to do.

"This is fun!" Jason laughed. As did the other guys on his team.

"You think just because your second in command, you can defy your leader. You're fucking stupid!" Saul felt Mikey grab him and throw him across the court, the leader trying to keep his Blanca's before crashing into the pole.

"Just because you're the leader, doesn't give you a right to treat everyone else like shit." Mikey dashed towards Saul, right before he could get up, and threw him into the pole. Hitting his head, Saul fell to his knees. He grit his teeth and forced himself up. Both of their eyes had rage and color fill them. Mikey dodged every punch Saul began to throw, moving his head back and to the sides, looking as if he were in some kung-fu flick.

He then threw a punch, his arm looking like a snake as it hit Saul. The leader, filled with overflowing rage, pumped forward. Mikey backed up but his eyes widened as he felt Saul's leg his his calf. Mikey felt pain before being punched in the chest and then his upper chin. Saul finally grabbed him and threw him at the same pole he had hit himself on.

"Oh!" Collective voices yelled a loud.

The sound of the vibrating metal was heard in everyones ears. Mikey got up once again, feeling his body begin to ache. The adrenaline that was running through his veins began to fade. His eyes began to blur, his head feeling light. With one final flash of vision, he saw Saul charge at him again.

But instead of punching Mikey head on, he jumped up, surprising everyone. Saul grabbed the basket atop the pole and swung his lower half forward, kicking Mikey's head and making him bang it against the metal pole behind him. Mikey felt the air rush out of him as he finally fell to his knees. Mikey managed to take in a puff of air but fell onto his stomach.

"Slam dunk, bitch!" Saul scoffed as he walked away.

"Mikey!" A handful of people yelled and ran over to him.

"Looks like you actually do got competitive spirit!" Luis laughed.

"Hey! What's wrong with you!" Jisoo ran up to Saul, her eyes filled with anger as well.

Saul smirked again and grabbed her ass, making her gasp as he smashed his mouth onto hers. He put both of his hands on her ass, pushing her into him as he rubbed it, making Jisoo let out an unexpected moan. The kiss was sloppy but Jisoo didn't push away, yet her eyes remained wide open and in shock.

Finally, Sebastian ripped Saul off of her, pushing him back as Jisoo stumbled. Lisa ran to her and engulfed her in a hug as the older girl felt hot tears stream from her eyes. She didn't know if it was fear but she didn't like the feeling she got from such a kiss.

"My king. As much as I appreciate you finally embracing your darker half, I don't think it was a bright idea to take down one of your soldiers." Neo informed.

"Shut up messenger. Come here Lisa, I want a taste!" Saul walked over to them, slapping Sebastian to the side. Lisa's eyes opened widely but before Saul could even touch her, a laugh was heard. A single, cocky laugh.

Everyone turned to see a jogger laughing and clapping.

"Hey, it's you!" Anthony pointed.

"Yo! You're right." The man posed like a runner before laughing again.

"What are you laughing at?" Darell asked.

"You guys... it's so... pathetic!" He roared as he held up a switch in his hand. The rangers' eyes widened as the man pushed the button and he was transformed into a monstrous form.

"Ah shit!" Matthew let out.

"Hahaha! It's time for the games to begin!" Sporbolt laughed, his accent coming out heavily before he snapped his fingers, "Ravagers!"

The summoned beasts came out of the ground and the idols around them, roaring with rage.

"Hey! I say we have a competition. Who can beat them faster? What do you guys say?" Jason as his team.

"I'll beat 'em faster than any of you." Roberto smirked.

"Wish me luck Lili." Saul kissed the Thai girls cheek, "You too Jichu." Saul pecked her cheek and walked over to his team, winking at Rosé and Jennie with a huge smirk. Mikey groaned on the ground trying to get up, Lia refusing to listen to Yeji as she tried to get them to run.

The five guys that made up Roberto's team were ready to activate their morphers but Alicia stopped them.

"Guys, not in front of everyone." The guys noticed that the superstars were all frozen with fear, no one daring to move.

"Fine!" Anthony groaned.

"I can still beat them without morphing!" Saul pushed himself forward, dashing at the monsters who let out a grunt and ran at him.

The guys were practically screaming before clashing with the monsters. Saul immediately landed a punch on one and spun around to kick the one behind him. Roberto jumped over a few and pulled his fist back before thrusting it forward into a Ravager, causing a shockwave to hit the Ravagers around him.

Luis entered battle with a kick and a backhand punch, before jumping up and knocking one of the Ravagers head to the side into a couple more monsters. Anthony immediately charged at a group and held up three as he continued trampling on them before ending up in front of the girl group, Twice. He let out a long grunt, sounding like a bull, letting small steam leave his nose.

Jason practically flew through the air as he used his right leg to launch himself into a group of monsters, pushing them back. He then used a Thunder technique, clapping his hands together, sending huge vibration waves towards the monsters, hitting each one, sparks flying off their bodies.

"The rest of us should get the idols out of here." Jazmine told the others who agreed.

"Alright my BTS-Oppas! Follow me!" Saki jumped up and grabbed Namjoon's arm and dragged him away, the other boys surprised as they ran after their leader.

"Twice! Follow me!" Cynthia claimed as she held her hand up and began running in a direction.

"Let's go!" Their leader, Jihyo, commanded and the others nodded. Tzuyu just watched as Anthony furiously charged into the Ravagers, picking them all up before throwing them to his side.

"Tzuyu. Let's go." Dahyun grabbed Tzuyu's arm. She looked at her and nodded.

"Ok. That leaves Itzy, right?" Alicia turned to them along with Jazmine.

"Get them out of here." Mikey groaned as he picked himself up.

"Mikey." A handful of voices called.

"Get... them... out of here!" Mikey stood up, fighting against all the pain in him. He then made a dash forward.

"Mikey!" Lia called out but Jazmine stopped her.

"Let's get you guys out of here!" Jazmine said as the girls ran off.

"You girls should probably go too, then Jisoo can make a turn around and come back to help." Juan informed as he and David arrived, already having gotten wind of what happened thanks to text updates from Danny.

"Got it." The four idols nodded and followed the girls.

"The rest of us guys will hold them off!" Juan called.

"I'll take care of you myself!" Raiyu jumped onto the court from out of no where.

"Raiyu!" Eduardo put his fists up.

"Not before we do!" The team turned to see Santi appear. Yui and Yume behind him. All three with their laser bladed swords at the ready.

"Isn't this just great." Marco held up his own fists.

"Sister." Neo glared as Sebastian got in his own fighting stance.

"Ravagers!" Raiyu snapped his fingers.

"Zenku!" Santi summoned with a snap of his own fingers.

Both sets of henchmen appeared, all of them roaring.

Meanwhile, the other group were now fighting Sporbolt. He laughed as the guys each tried to punch him.

"I've got him!" Jason and Luis yelled at the same time.

"Let's try playing a sport! Boxing sounds nice!" Sporbolt pulled out a small silver object. He revealed it to be a whistle with a lightning bolt engraving on it. He then put it up to his mouth and blew into it.

Suddenly, the two rangers had on boxing gloves and ended up punching each other. They both groaned as they stumbled back. They each took a glance at their gloves and then at each other with a smirk.

"I bet I can knock you out!" Jason yelled out.

"Just try it!" Luis retorted. The two then began to throw punches at each other, stuck in their own competitive world as the other three fought.

Saul tried to kick but ended up flailing forward. Anthony tried to charge at him, but the monster grabbed his head and flung him to the side, making the boy side step until he fell. Roberto tried to catch him by surprise but Sporbolt simply tried a new tactic.

"Tennis!" A bright light flashed and Roberto did a barrel roll on the ground before trying to hit Sporbolt. The only sound heard was a "whoosh" as the boy now held a tennis racket in his hand.

"The Fuck is this?" Roberto looked at it.

"Tennis you nimrod. Want to play doubles?" Sporbolt summoned his own racket and smacked Roberto fully on his face, making him roll on the ground, holding his face.

"That's it, I'm getting tired of this!" Saul activated his morpher. The other four got behind him and did the same. Mikey arrived afterwards, practically sliding on the concrete, panting heavily.

"We do this as a team!" Mikey claimed, now standing next to Saul.

"Pft, whatever." Saul rolled his eyes as they all took out their Beast Batteries, inserting them into the morpher.

"Animal Strike!" They all yelled and brought their arms back behind them before shooting them forward, "Spirit Unleashed!"

The group of six transformed into their ranger forms. With a simultaneous battle cry, the six dashed forward, pulling out their Strike Sabers and slashing through the Ravagers that reappeared.

"Let's play a game!" Sporbolt jumped up onto one of the roofs that stood atop the concrete bleachers. "Hm, let's see. Baseball for you!" Sporbolt summoned a purple orb and shot it at Saul.

Suddenly, Saul found himself holding a red baseball bat. He also saw two Ravagers dressed in get-up similar to a catcher and an umpire. A ball flew past him, almost hitting him, causing him to turn to see Sporbolt holding a baseball glove and a baseball.

"Ha! You want to play? Fine! Let's play!" Red spun the bat around from its base before gripping it tightly and holding it over his right shoulder, the sound of his gloves gripping the bat becoming audible.

"It's time to pitch!" Sporbolt began to spin his arm around in circles, evidently becoming faster and faster. Red kept a close eye on the monsters arm. The whirling sound of Sporbolt's arm was loud. As he glared at the arm, Red began to feel something in his eyes. Almost in an instant, a flash of lighting appeared in Saul's eyes.

Now, he could see Sporbolt's arm moving slowly. His vision had increased and he could see the ball.

"Batter up!" Sporbolt shot the ball forward at high speeds reaching almost 100 mph. Red straightened his head and pulled his body back to the right. He had one shot and this was it. He swung the bat forward, and by a miracle, caught the ball.

Unfortunately for him, the ball began to grind against the bat, causing sparks to fly as the bat became unstable. Red couldn't hold on for long but he tried. It was a strong battle, one that Saul lost when the bat was flung backwards, making his body fly back and hitting a railing. The bat broke in half and the ball landed in his lap as he groaned.

"Ha! One down. Now, how about... Basketball!" Sporbolt shot a purple sphere at Blue. Blue stumbled forward, stilling feeling pain in his ribs and his back. Now, before him, stood four Ravagers in basketball uniforms. They all passed a single ball between them before passing it to Blue, who caught it in front of his gut.

"Got him!" Blue looked up and was bodied by Sporbolt who managed to take the ball away. Blue suddenly found himself on a court as Sporbolt ran towards him, jumping over him and slam dunking on the basket.

"Two down! Football!" Sporbolt then shot a sphere at Crimson. Crimson now held a football in his hands and looked up to see Sporbolt sprinting towards him. Crismon gulped before being tackled to the ground.

"Fuck!" Crismon groaned.

"Three! For the final three, soccer!" Sporbolt summoned a soccer ball and dropped it to his feet, beginning to juggle the ball around before kicking it full force.

The ball made the cartoonish sound similar to a missile flying in the air. Fire began to engulf the ball before it hit Black into the Ravagers he was fighting, moving its way to hitting Purple over a railing and finally striking Lion in the head. Lion stumbled and felt himself returning to normal as he fell to his knees.

"W-What's happening?" Lion said as he sat down.

The six rangers were groaning messes as they tried to get up.

"Guys! We got a problem!" Orange called out to the rest who were engaged in a huge battle against Raiyu, Caste's henchmen and the foot soldiers.

"Who the hell are you?" White yelled at Raiyu as they clashed swords.

"Do you really think nows the time to have that conversation." Omega Alpha and Green jumped up into the air, flipping towards before double kicking Raiyu away, making White lose balance.

"He's a ninja. I can feel it. But I need more answers." White claimed.

"But that's not what we should be doing right now." Yellow and Pink arrived, blasting away Ravagers as Eagle and Gold flew in, taking down some Zenku.

"You're getting better Jisoo." Gold commented.

"Thanks." Eagle giggled.

"Sister!" Over with Neo, he backed away from his sisters attacks.

"Why won't you fight!" Yume yelled.

"First of all, I will not fight my younger sister. And second of all, I have no weapon." Neo said as he threw an end of his scarf towards his sister, the fabric wrapping around her body.

"I hate protective brothers!" Neo turned to see Hui appear with her blade, ready to strike Neo in the gut. Fortunately for him, Raptor blocked the attack and pushed her back into battle against Bat and Snake. Silver jumped over and kicked Yume over.

"Let me take over!" Jose said from within Silver.

"That'd be stupid of me." Silver commented.

Navy summoned his tonfa and beat the Ravagers without breaking a sweat. Panther jumped over up with his Hammer, smashing it onto the ground causing a shockwave to send Zenku flying up with sparks flying off them. Dolphin then used Panther's shoulders to jump in the air, holding her crossbow aimed at the monsters in the air. She insert her battery into the weapon.

Dolphin!

Dolphin Crossbow Piercing!

The announcement of the morpher was loudly heard as Dolphin pulled the trigger. A single arrow fired from the crossbow before splitting into hundreds as they fired at an extremely rapid pace, piercing each monster, causing them to blow up.

"That's those guys dealt with." Dolphin commented as she put her crossbow to her side.

"Argh!" Six voices ran through the air as Sporbolt cackled, a giant explosion sending the six rangers he fought flying back onto the basketball courts.

"Good job Sporbolt!" Raiyu slashed at the rangers around him.

"Got to arrest you!" Omega Alpha jumped, but White had the same idea causing a collision between the two.

"Hey!" They both yelled.

"Looks like it's over for you!" Raiyu laughed as he ran a finger across his own sword.

"Can I just mention there's twenty of us and we can't beat five people!" Orange commented.

"I can do it without you!" Black stood up and charged at Sporbolt.

"Hockey!" Sporbolt summoned a hockey stick and a puck that fell onto the ground. He then used the stick and fired the puck at Black, striking him in the head. Purple stood up after him and jumped forward, towards Sporbolt.

"Volleyball!" Sporbolt summoned a volleyball and threw it up before jumping himself and spiking the ball towards Purple, striking him in the head as well.

"You guys can't beat me. As long as the power of sports is with me, everyone will lose." Sporbolt laughed.

"What do we do Santi?" Yui asked as the boy was knocked back by Yellow.

"These guys keep acting arrogant. We could beat them but if Raiyu is here, there's no chance it'll be easy. Let's inform Caste of the situation. I know he's waiting on Sporbolt's defeat." Santi commanded as he deactivated the laser blade and walked backwards before turning around. The other two following.

"Yume!" Neo called the girl who stopped and turned her head. "Yume." Neo couldn't think of anything to say, so his sister scoffed and walked away.

"Now, twenty rangers. Let's make a competition. Once I make you all competitive just like your leader and co, you will end up destroying each other without me needing to lift a finger. Then I can create competitive mayhem around the world!" Sporbolt laughed once again. "Golf!" A putt was summoned into Sporbolt's hands and a golf ball dropped in front of him, "Fore!" He smacked the ball with the putt.

The small ball literally changed color as it flew all over the place, striking every ranger once before falling into a dirt hole residing in a flowerbed not too far from them, "Hole-in-One!" He cheered.

"How do we beat him?" Pink asked to anyone who had an answer.

Lion watched Raiyu and Sporbolt laugh as they stood together. He began to think and looked around until a poster for the sports festival. A light bulb came to him as his brain finally thought of an idea.

"Time to turn the whole world against each other!" Sporbolt began to summon various different sports balls.

"Wait!" Lion stood up. Sporbolt stopped and looked at him.

"Roberto?" Bat looked at him.

"I know we sounded like jerks, I'll explain it all later." Lion said quickly, "Sporbolt! You want to take over the world, huh? Just like Axis does. I've got a proposition." Lion began as he stood up.

"Don't listen to him." Raiyu warned.

"Look, as an athlete, I know what it's like to have to win with honor and to win in order to impress your coaches and agents. So I know that you won't turn down such a challenge. Being an athlete, we love challenges right?" Lion pointed at him before clenching his fist and letting his arm fall.

"I'm listening." Sporbolt claimed, causing Raiyu to groan.

"How about a 5v5 soccer match. Your team against my team. If you win, we'll let you go through with your plan without fighting. And if we win, you LOSE!" Lion claimed with a loud voice that almost boomed.

"Sounds interesting. Soccer you say? It is one of my favorite sports. Aside from jogging of course. You're on!" Sporbolt accepted.

"You better know what you're doing!" Raiyu said as he walked back and disappeared.

"Wait!" White tried to get up but fell onto his chest, feeling a bit of pain.

"All right, let's get-" Lion began but was interrupted.

"I don't want to be on a team with you!" Crimson exclaimed.

"Yea. You're the lamest one of us all. You've got nothing worth fighting for so I can't even acknowledge you as a teammate." Purple shook his finger as he looked away with a shake of his head.

"Plus, you're pathetic." Black commented.

"Guys. We need to beat Sporbolt, so I need you to come together. Right Saul?" Lion looked at Red who didn't even look at him. Red then got up and looked over at Lion.

"I'm not playing with you." He claimed. Lion felt a bit of shock as he took a step back, "You're hiding something, and I don't trust people who hide things."

"Says the one who's hidden everything in his life!" Blue fired at him. Red clenched his fist.

"Say, how about you join my team. We can defeat that weakling and you can all compete to be the best!" Sporbolt ran over to them.

"Sounds good to me." Crimson nodded.

"Same here." Black and Purple claimed and almost punched each other after answering at the same time.

"Why not." Red walked over to them as they formed a team.

"I've got my team. Look at us. We are huge! Where's your team, weakling!" The monster said, emphasizing on the last word.

"Uh. I... I don't..." Lion looked down as his nerves began to overtake him.

"I'm in!" Blue stood up, even with pain hitting him in every part of his body, he had to play.

"Let me in on this." Navy walked over with crossed arms.

"Right here." Orange walked up next.

"Might as well try." White was the final one.

"Heh, Get ready to eat our dust!" Black punched his rigger fist into his left palm.

"I guess the rest of us will watch." Yellow commented.

"Among others." Everyone turned to see Lozari appear with a chuckle.

"What do you mean?" Green questioned.

"You'll find out. Now shall we get to the field. This game is going to be exciting!" Lozari clapped his hands.

~2 years ago~

The sunlight was sharp, cutting through the curtains of the dark hotel room and hitting Saul's face. He groaned as he turned his head around. He then felt move him. He groaned again and tried to move away only to fall off the bed he slept in.

He woke up with pain and yelled out as he held the back of his head, pain extending through his neck, down to his back. He had his teeth clenched and looked up to see a listing Jennie on the bed.

"Hahaha, you're so cute Oppa~!" Jennie laughed loudly as Saul stood up.

"I'm not your Oppa. You're older than me!" Saul claimed as he walked around the bed and headed for the bathroom, avoiding the bra that lay on the second bed.

"Yea, I know, but it's so much easier calling you Oppa instead of Saul or bestie." Jennie followed him as he left the door to the bathroom open, only entering to comb his hair and brush his teeth. Having looked to see the time, it was still early. The room was fairly cold and the sound of rain was loud. London certainly wasn't a real sunny place.

"Ok, So what's on the agenda today?" Saul said. They had already spent a week in London.

"Well, shootings over so now we just have two days of pure adventure." Jennie claimed.

"Solo. What's it about again?" Saul asked, talking about her single.

"It's about how I transform from an innocent woman to a strong, independent woman after a break-up." Jennie explained, flexing her arm which showed no muscle, making Saul chuckle.

"You had a relationship?" Saul asked with the toothbrush in his mouth.

"No, but Teddy thought it was a good idea for a song, especially for me." Jennie claimed as she walked back into the room.

"I don't know what he thinks." Saul spit out the water that was now in his mouth.

He walked back into the room, taking off his shirt. Once he entered, he saw Jennie look up only to look away. Her cheeks turning red immediately.

"Sorry. My mind blanked out for a minute." Saul said as he walked over to his duffle bag and pulled out a shirt with Japanese lettering for drift and the picture of a JDM car drifting through a highway, the Japanese flag flying behind the image.

Jennie couldn't help but admire his body from behind. Seeing the muscle that flexed as he loved his arms. She felt flustered and her cheeks were getting hotter. Saul continued digging through his bag, looking for his jeans. She also noticed the slight scars he had on his back, which interested her but she would keep a mental note to ask later. Jennie kept staring until she felt heat in her shorts. She was even more flustered as she realized what her body was doing. She shook her head and finally looked away. The ding from her phone went off and she used it to distract herself.

Saul looked back at her though his peripherals. Jennie read a message on her phone and giggled, forgetting about the boy behind her. Saul sighed and got up, sneaking up on her. He saw a message from a contact with the name 'Kai'.

'It can't be my master, obviously. But what other Kai would she know other than her dog, who obviously can't text.' Saul thought to himself as he read a flirty morning message, watching Jennie begin to type. Having enough of invading the girls privacy, he backed up and walked over to her.

"Hey Jen," the girl practically threw her phone in the air before catching it with a panicked breath, "I'm gonna take a shower and then we can go out and do whatever you want. Plus, we can talk about New Years, it's almost here." Saul walked into the bathroom and closed the door, locking it.

"You got it bestie!" Jennie answered as she got up and prepared her clothes, getting ready for the day. Her solo single was close to being released and she couldn't help but be excited.

The athletes stretched on the field, each getting ready. The rangers participating were still in their ranger forms. Why? Well, Lozari was busy.

"Are you girls ok?" Saki asked the idols of Twice and Itzy who were kidnapped by the feline monster.

"Yea. He caught us all by surprise. It was scary but he didn't hurt us so... I don't know. I'm scared." Sana began but felt herself tear up.

"How'd you and your friends get captured?" Mina asked the group.

"Oh, that thunder monster got us." Jazmine chimed in.

"And they also caught my oppas!" Saki pout.

"I can't believe they're making us watch this." Darell ate chips from a bag.

"Hello sports fans. It's time to watch the Futsal game between these two clashing teams! Let's get ready to rumble!" Lozari's voice cut through the stands. The field was ready for the game as the teams took their places. Sporbolt's team had Crimson as goalkeeper while on Lion's side, Navy took goal.

"This isn't wrestling!" David yelled out.

A Ravager dressed as a referee stepped onto the field as the players took their positions.

"I can't believe we're going to watch the rangers play!" Yuna cheered.

"Go red ranger!" Momo cheered as well. Red stood in the middle of the field with the ball at his feet.

"Alright, you know the plan!" Sporbolt clapped his hands as the whistle blew. Red passed the hall over to Black who immediately kicked it and sent it flying into the goal. The stadium went quiet as that happened.

"Hey, we can't use our ranger powers! I thought this was normal soccer!" Lion complained.

"Oh, the baby is going to cry!" The other team laughed.

"There was no such rule. We continue to play." Sporbolt said as he backed up. Lion looked over at the scoreboard that lit up as 1-0 with twenty four minutes remaining.

"We're only playing 25 minute halves. Let's do this!" Blue pushed Roberto to the middle.

From this point, the game went at full force. Each team used their ranger powers from a fire ball coming from red to a thunder ball from Navy. The goals kept stacking, making the present crowd widen their eyes as the score got to 10-10 each.

With fouls called in every play, the ref had obviously been throwing the game, allowing Sporbolt and his team to move more dangerously and aggressively.

It was now half time and up in the stands, the unmorphed rangers were complaining about the game.

"They are playing as a team despite trying to one up each other on the court earlier. What could've happened?" Matthew began to think.

"That's not important. Lion is going to lose and Sporbolt is going to take over the world for Axis." Marco slapped his head.

"Wait! I get it now. Remember what Sporbolt said about turning everyone against each other by making them competitive? That's probably what he did to those five. And somehow, Lion snapped out of it." Cynthia explained with an "a-ha" moment hitting her.

"That's right. That's why they are all so aggressive." Alicia understood as the whistle was blown. The ball went into play and currently, Orange had it as he made a mad dash down the field. Black charged at him and slid on the ground, kicking Orange's legs and making him tumble, falling into a wall that separated the field from the bleachers.

"Ref! That's a foul. Red card! He clearly aimed for his legs!" White called out and yelled in the ref's face. The Ravager shook his head and blew the whistle for a foul in favor of Sporbolt.

"That's bullshit!" Navy yelled from the goal.

"Let's go!" Black jumped around.

"Why do those guys seem so mean?" Chaeryeong asked.

"More importantly, why are they playing on the monsters team?" Ryujin said with puckered lips.

"I got it!" Saki yelled scaring everyone.

"What is it?" Namjoon asked.

"We make the rangers on the monsters team turn against each other." Saki said but turned specifically to the rangers.

"Ah! That's a great idea!" Juan jumped up as well.

"Ok, follow my lead. You idols can follow along if you want to as well." Saki said with a smirk.

The game began again and more fouls were called against Lion's team. They began to get agitated and their morale was low as the score for Sporbolt's team went up to 15.

"Let's start with Black." Saki stood up and Cynthia joined her. Black played the ball with Purple running near him, asking for the ball.

"Hey Black Ranger! I bet you can't make the goal yourself!" Saki yelled.

"Yea. Of course you need help since you aren't good enough!" Cynthia followed.

"What! I can do it!" Black ignored Purple and charged towards the goal. Orange, now angry, roared as he ran towards Black and bodied him forward into a fence, taking the ball and shooting it away. Black groaned as he fell onto the field.

"Get up!" Sporbolt yelled at Black who stood up, holding his arm.

The game changed from there as the crowd picked on the rangers egos. Purple ended up missing fifteen times and falling eight times. Crimson couldn't keep track of the ball as the male idols called him names, distracting him, causing various goals to be conceded.

"Ok, so far, the real threat is Red. He hasn't been listening to us and has been playing better than everyone else." Saki crossed her arms with a huff. Everyone began to think until a certain blonde got an idea.

Rosé stood up with determination in her eyes as she pulled her skirt down a little.

"What is she doing?" Namjoon asked no one in particular. Jennie then got the idea and followed her.

"Ah, I get it. Distract him with something he loves." Darell smirked.

Lisa and Jisoo got it as well and stood up, also adjusting their clothes. The other two girl groups watched them as they somehow got the idea. Momo was the first to get up.

"What are you doing?" Chaeyoung asked her.

"I want to help the rangers. They need to beat the monsters team and then the world will be saved. And maybe even the rangers on the monsters team will be saved, including the dreamy red." Momo smirked.

"We can't do that. There are non-celebs here and we could be exposed." Jihyo chimed in.

"We heard that!" Osvaldo's voice sounded.

"Let's do it!" Sana got up next. Lia followed.

"Lia!" Yeji practically yelled. Ryujin smiled and did next. One by one, all the girls got up and adjusted their clothing. Cleavage visible and legs on full display. Rosie smiled as she saw them all do it but felt flustered when all the guys watched them.

"That's kind of hot." Jungkook let out softly.

"Ok, ready girls?" Saki, who was one of the few excluded, the others being Jazmine, Cynthia and Alicia, asked. "Do you guys know the opening line of Blackpink's 'Whistle'?" Saki smirked as did the BP idols.

"Red!" Cynthia called out as Red now had the ball. He turned towards the stands and under his helmet, his eyes widened and he felt his suit tighten around his crotch.

"Hey boy!" The girls all yelled as Red felt his heart beat going beyond 200 mph. He felt his body sweat as his eyes grew bigger, his mouth opening.

"Hey Red Ranger!" They all said with seductive gazes and voices, even though some of them were embarrassed to do so, just wanting to cover themselves already.

Red was so distracted that he didn't see Lion running at him. Red was practically drooling until he felt the full force coming from the king of the jungle. The ball smacked Red's head, practically smashing the side of his skull. Lion roared as Red fell onto his back, hitting his head on the grass first, feeling his breath being taken away.

"Time for a goal!" Lion roared again as his leg began to glow an orange reddish color, "for you! Mamá!" Lion roared as he kicked the ball with so much force, making the ball fire like a rocket.

"Oh no you don't!" Sporbolt summoned a ball of his own and kicked it at the incoming ball. It was futile however, as the literal fireball burned it completely. The ball hit Sporbolt right into the scoreboard, making sparks fly along with him. The ball took a drastic turn and hit Black then Purple, using them as deflectors. It then went straight for Crimson who pulled out his staff and spun it around.

Lighting began to emit from the staff and was ready to hit the ball. The ball had other plans as it immediately made contact with Crimson, practically exploding, explosions summoned around him as the ball landed in the goal. The crowd cheered as the final whistle was blown.

"We won! We won!!!" Lion cheered.

"No. This can't be!" Sporbolt stumbled out of some bushes.

"Fuck!" Red cursed. Blue ran up to him and held his hand towards him, offering him help. Red looked at Blue. He then grabbed his hand, allowing Blue to help Red up.

"Time to finish this!" Lion exclaimed as he summoned his lance. He inserted his battery into it and began to spin it around.

Lion!

"Lion Lance Fire Spin!" Lion roared as flames appeared on the ends of his lance. He then pulled it back and threw it forward. The lance spun around like a fireball and struck the monsters, such as the ref and extra crowd members left on the field until it got to Sporbolt.

"No!" The monster screamed as the lance struck him three times before flying back to Lion. Lion grabbed the lance, the fire subsiding as he spun it once more and spun on his heel, placing his lance over his right shoulder.

"I was the MVP! I was the MVP!!" Sporbolt screamed as he fell over and exploded. A man falling and rolling away from the fire, unconscious.

"Ranger victory." Lion let out a single, "heh."

Meanwhile, the guys under a spell all felt the spell wash away as a weird purple aura escaped them.

-0-0-0-0-

"Wow, what a terrible plan. Must suck to be you!" Lozari laughed as he skipped into the base. Raiyu growled as he stomped over to the feline.

"You bastard!" Raiyu grabbed the feline by his neck.

"Enough!" Axis' voice boomed through the base as he entered, his dark aura swamping the base, making the other monsters feel woozy. "Who came up with this pathetic plan?!" Axis was such a strong presence that the final three commanders to join the team bowed before him.

"Raiyu did." Lozari claimed.

"That brat!" Raiyu growled louder.

"We need to have a talk. For now... Zaku, make my monster grow." Axis let out through grit teeth.

"Of course master!" Zaku walked over to a console and pushed a button.

-0-0-0-0-

"You guys did it!" Saki cheered.

"Thanks for your help citizens." Red said in a deeper voice.

"Omg! Omg! It's the red ranger." Red turned to the small squeals of Sana and Momo.

"I can't believe we're this close." Yuna squealed. Red just chuckled. Meanwhile, the BP idols clenched their fists.

"Are you guys ok?" Darell asked but he practically saw the fire firing from them.

"That makes no sense. Did they ever admit to having feelings for him?" David whispered over to Danny.

"Guys!" Black called as he saw the laser appear. The beam hit the monsters remains, the unconscious man luckily was moved, making them grow. They came together and Sporbolt was reborn.

"It's Olympic Time!" He roared into the sky.

"It's Megazord time!" Lion walked forward but felt woozy. Luckily, Crimson caught him.

"I got you bro." Crimson sat him down.

"Don't worry. We've got it." Green said as he summoned his Zord. Purple and White following as their little drones appeared.

"Rover! You're back!" White said as the three tiny robots flew around them.

"I didn't go anywhere. Idiot!" Rover began to hit White. Guys we don't have time for this!" Purple jumped up. Green following and White falling behind but jumping as well.

As soon as they got into their zords, they wasted no time in activating their Megazord.

"Triple Strike Megazord!" They yelled as the zords combined and created the giant robot.

"We'll go too." Red said to Blue, "Second in command."

"Yea!" Blue gave a single nod. Cynthia and Alicia snuck away as Black joined the two.

"Zords Activate!" The giant zords of the first five rangers appeared.

"You can do it Tigey!" Jennie cheered.

"Tigey?" Her fellow members questioned.

"Animal Strike Megazord! Ready!" The zords combined and created the giant robot that now stood next to the Triple Strike.

"Let's play some baseball!" Sporbolt summoned two balls.

"Swords are the perfect bat!" Red claimed as both robots summoned their swords, pulling them back and getting into a batters position.

The balls were shot at them and they swung their swords forward, hitting the balls that were once again grinding, sparks flying off their swords.

"More power!" Red called out as everyone on board screamed. Their swords sparked fire before completely blazing and sending the balls back.

Sporbolt fell back against a building, huge dust clouds flying up into the air, "I have one more trick!" Sporbolt said as he used a sphere to summon a ring. The two robots landed in the ring with boxing gloves on.

"What the hell?" Green said as the robot looked at its fists.

"Ding ding ding!" Sporbolt jumped towards the Animal Strike Megazord with his own gloves, socking him in the face.

"Oh, this guy wants to go!" Black laughed. The first Megazord began to jump up and down, looking like a real boxer. Meanwhile, the second robot held up its fists.

"Let's go Mike Tyson style!" White yelled as the second robot went in to punch Sprobolt, landing a few punches in.

The first robot then jumped punched constantly, left and right, left and right, left and right. Sprobolt began to feel dizzy.

"This is way to easy. A 2 v 1 is unfair!" Sporbolt complained.

"Now for the finisher!" All eight rangers yelled as Red and Green insert batteries.

"Special! Tiger/Elephant Strike Punch!" They yelled as both robots pulled back their right arms and launched them forward, hitting Sporbolt in his face and sending him crashing onto a corner of the ring. He stumbled around for a bit before stopping.

"Rocky... is that you?" Sporbolt fell backwards and blew up, creating a huge explosion that made the entire city shake.

"Alright! Ranger Victory!" Red and Green cheered.

...

Down in the wreckage, Caste made his way over to where Sporbolt was initially killed. He sniffed his way around the place as Santi appeared behind him.

"I've collected artifacts from every defeated monster in secret. And soon... the time to use these artifacts will come. I'll do whatever it takes to perfect this world and it's hierarchy." Caste turned to Santi who held up Sporbolt's whistle.

"We're here to serve master." Yui and Yume appeared behind Santi as Caste approached the boy. He grabbed the whistle and held it in his hand.

"And so the collection grows." His eyes glowed a vibrant purple as he looked towards the now rising moon before letting out a howl into the darkening sky.

"It's the final minute of the match as Team Blazing Lion runs down the court. Luis passes it back to Jason who kicks it against the wall getting it to Anthony. Anthony shows off a few skill moves and backs up before... oh, what a nutmeg! Anthony now passes it to Saul who keeps the ball safe and now.. he charges ahead and.. he kicks the ball, but he misses but wait!... Roberto has it... he has it... and... goal!!!!" The room cheered as Roberto ran around the court. He jumped up and Jason caught him, holding him up as the other three ran over to them and cheered as a whistle was blown.

"We won!" The guys cheered as Cynthia sat defeated on the ground. Her team walked up to her and hugged her, with the exception of Marco and Eddie who smiled as they watched the other team cheer.

Roberto then walked over to Cynthia and held his hand out. Cynthia grabbed it and he pulled her up.

"GG." Roberto smiled.

"GG." Cynthia said and they hugged.

...

"You're Beast City Sports Festival Futsal Champs! Team Blazing Lion!" Everyone cheered as Roberto held up the trophy. They then began to chant "Campeones!" Over and over again, their medals jumping with them as they did.

...

"Sorry about what we did!" Saul, Anthony, Luis and Jason were on the ground, bowing their heads on the ground, the way they do it in Japan. All outside of the stadium. Saki stood over them with a smirk and crossed arms.

"I'm especially sorry for disrespecting the girls." Saul added as he pushed his head even further down. Saki jumped onto him and pushed his face onto the ground. "Ah! Ah!! What the fuck!! Ah! Ah!! That fucking hurts! Saki! Get off! Owww!!!"

The idols all blushed, "It's ok dude. You can get off him." Ryujin was flustered just like all the other girls.

"If you say so, unnie~" Saki got up and let Saul finally get up as did everyone else. Saul rubbed the back of his neck with a groan, getting up.

"Just don't do it again." Chaeryeong smiled shyly.

"Of course. Such a pretty girl shouldn't be mistreated." Saul rubbed his nape with a nervous chuckle.

"Hey! What about us! Aren't we pretty!" Momo pout.

"Yea!" Every other girl yelled as they glared at the boy.

"Ah! Of course you are!" The scene was like one from an anime, the girls all with huge heads and angry white eyes, Saul standing small as they all surrounded him.

"Congrats on coming in third in Archery." Mikey said to Lia who blushed.

"I tried my best." She said.

"Of course you did. But we all know you can't beat your seniors." Nayeon teased as she hugged Yeji and Yuna.

"Yea, but no one could beat Rosé." Namjoon said with a smile that made the blonde blush and look away. Saul took a mental note.

"Stop staring!" Saki jabbed his side.

"Well done my king and queen. You have taken a step forward into your Royal reign. Rejoice everyone. REJOICE!" Neo yelled.

"Shut up you stupid non-dependable prophet!" Sebastian got Neo in a choke hold as he pulled him away.

"He's basically a laughing stock now." Matthew chuckled nervously.

"Where's Roberto by the way? He should've apologized too." Jazmine chimed.

"He's over there." Everyone in this huge group that was currently surrounded by security looked over to see the boy standing in front of a woman.

"Congratulations my son. I love you so much." Roberto had tears in his eyes as he looked at a tablet.

"Yes, we are proud of you, Beto." Roberto looked up to see his older sister smiling at him.

"Thanks Mirabel." Roberto hugged her. "And thanks mom." Roberto looked down to see the tablet had a play button in the middle of a video where his moms frozen face was. A tear left his eye as he felt emotional.

"Don't cry Beto. She's in a better place." Mirabel began to choke on her own tears as she looked away.

"I know. I know. I just... wish she could've seen it with her own eyes. I didn't care about any of those agents. I wanted her to see it. And I know she did. She's with God now. She's in Heaven." Roberto hugged his sister as she cried. He held back his tears but failed to do so.

"I've got to go Beto. They want me to-" Roberto held up his hand.

"I'll see you later." Roberto smiled as he hugged the trophy and the medal he was given. His sister left, meeting up with a man who was presumably her boyfriend as he hugged her and they walked out.

"Gracias mamá." Roberto looked up at the open sky. "I'll miss you. Rest In Paradise. And say hi to dad. Tell him that... I made it. Protect me, both of you. I'm going to need it if I'm going to protect the world." Roberto wiped his tears away. He the felt someone pull him into a hug. He looked up to see Mikey hug him, followed by Jason. Then the whole group of rangers, followed by the BP idols. The other idols just watched with smiles on their faces as Roberto smiled, his sobs growing louder.

Then, the group hug turned to see Saul standing away from the group with his arms crossed. He snapped his head towards them as the motioned for him to join with their eyes.

"I don't do hugs." Saul turned away.

He then felt someone grab him and pull him. Turning to see Rosé pulling with determination, his cheeks burned red. She shoved him into the hug, Jennie pulling him in as Rosie took a spot behind him. Everyone laughed at how red Saul's face got.

"May the power protect you."
