Outside of the Capitol,hiding in the shadows of the trees,was a strange creature.

It was bipedel and was bulky.The creature had thick armor protecting it's arms,legs,neck and other vanurable points.It also had two toed feet,each toe ending with a black curved claw.The monster had a hunched back and it's neck was the most prominent feature.The neck was long and segmented by dark green armor.The creature's head was similar to a human skull,but was warped and slightly extended.The eyes were hollow and black.The mouth had sharp jagged teeth and the monster's bottom jaw had an underbite.

The creature narrowed it's eyes,focusing them to the walls of the city,then to the palace beyond it.With a step,the monster went back into the shadows.Then the monster began to change in the cover of darkness.The long stiff neck of the monster began to retrack into it's body.The creature also reduced some of it's bulk.

With a swift movement of it's arm,the monster conceled it's self with a cloak.The monster's current apperance,to any civilians,would just be large man in a sheilding himself from the cold,brisk air.

The now disguised beast made it's way into the Capitol,it's intent unknown...

The boy sat on a bed in a room iluinatted by only a single candle.The room had a cabinet in the far right corner,near the door.There was a small side table and chair near the bed.

Fiddling with his thumbs impatiantly,the grey haired teen stared at the wooden door,waiting for some response.In the boy's mind,he could knock and ask what was taking so long,but that could only end with him getting killed.

In the next room...

"How come you didn't kill him?"

A woman with silver hair,an eyepatch,and robotic arm sat on a throne like chair in the far back center of a room.

In the room,a group of people were gathered.Three of the people there were the green haired boy with the trenchcoat and wires,the girl with a pink dress,hair,and advanced sniper rifle,the girl with red eyes and katana,who's name was a Akame.However there where four other people.One was a muscular man who had a pompadour in the vauge shape of a heart.There were two other girls.One had glasses and purple hair along with a purple dress.The other girl was blond and didn't really have much on aside from the vauge pants.And finally there was a boy with brown hair wearing a light brown vest,pants and brown boots.

Akame spoke."The reason why we didn't kill him was that he had something that he said would help against the empire.He also said that he would come quietly if we didn't kill him."

"Well I think letting him know where our hideout is is a big mistake."said the pink haired girl."For all we know,he could be some high skilled assassian sent to kill us."

The silver haired woman responded to the other girl's statement."I agree with Mine.But if this stranger says he's our side and he has something that could turn the tide of the war,we should all hear his side of the story.Akame,Bulat.Go fetch our new "guest".

"Yes boss.",Akame and the young man with the pompadour,named Bulat,said in unison.

The boy layed in bed thinking of what to do or say once Nightraid came to their decision.But his thinking came to a stop once he heard the doorknob twist and the door open.

Akame stood at the door with her sword drawn.

"Follow me."

Without any hesitation,the scarred boy made his way out into a hallway,with the scarlet eyed girl waiting for him.The boy felt the presence of someone behind him.

Akame stepped aside and let the teen enter the meeting room.He was met with eyes locking onto him.Bravely,the teen walked ahead and stop right in between the group of armed fighters.

The woman with silver hair looked casually at the strange grey haired teen.

"So you're the one who bested four members of my team all at once.That's pretty immpressive.I-."The silver haired woman was cut off.

"Look I'm just going stop you right there,Najenda.As much as I'm flattered by your complaments,you can cut right to the chase."

Everyone shared the same expression of shock and silence.Najenda's cigerette dropped to the floor because she was slack jawed.

"Y-you disrespectful bastard!",Mine exclaimed.

"May I ask.How do you know my name?"Najenda requested.

The grey haired teen responded quickly.

"Well you see,and please understand,I've been spying on all of you for a bit.Hell,I know all of your names.Your Imperial Arms,as you call them,your habits and personalites.Just about everything I need to know."

This statement from the teen made everyone even more shocked.Even Mine and and green haired boy drew out their weapons.

"Look,I know what your all thinking,'Let's kill him now' and 'What the fuck!?'.But before all of you go 'John Wick' on my ass,there's something you all should know."

Najenda raised her hand,a clear signal to lower her team's weapons.

"You know so much about us.But we don't know anything about you.Maybe by explaining your story and what were those gems you reveled to my team,we can put to rest a bit of the suspicion and aparent killing intent in the room."

The teen took a deep breath."Alright.It seems fare to tell you.But I must warn you,some of the things I'm gonna tell you will sound...strange."

"Try us."said the brown haired teen,who's name was Tatsumi.

With a nod,the grey haired teen began his story."I come from a place far,far,far away.To all of you,my home city would be alien and strange.I was a simple,everyday teen,trying to get passed everyday challenges.

But one night changed my life forever.When walking home from my part-time job,I passed a forest.In the forest a flash of light came from nowhere.I was curious and decided to take a look.What I found blew me away.A strange creature,weilding a staff,layed on the ground injured.Upon closer inspection,I found out it was still breathing.The thing had rough orange skin and a row of spikes going down it's head.

When the thing saw me,it reached out and gave me a metal cylinder.With it's hand it touch my forhead and showed me what was in the cyclider and quickly explained what the contents could do.The creature's last words were 'Find those who are worthy.And unleash the power'.

It died before I could ask questions.Once I got home,I opened the canistar.And once I did,something incredible happened.A sudden flood of power and energy coursed through my entire body.I felt stronger,faster,and my senses and reflexes were better.Once I realized the source of the sudden power was the gems,I closed the cylinder,severing the flow of energy.

I would soon regret ever opening the container.

My home was attacked.By something that wasn't human.A monster destroyed the city,and I knew from the dying creature from before,that it was looking for the gems.Once the monster spotted me,the crystals realized the danger and sent me away."

"Wow.That was...the most bullshit story I've ever heard."Mine stated."You honestly think that we're trusting that some freak monster gave you some weird crystals,then some other monster wrecks your city looking for 'em,then the crystals,all of a sudden,bring you here."

The grey haired teen crossed his arms and rose an eyebrow,giving a slight stern look to the very annoying girl."Well when you put it like that,it's sounds stupid."

"Exactly."

"Well it still dosen't explain what these crystals can do or why you wanted to see us so bad,that you'd risk getting killed."Najenda explained.

"Well in order for the gems to be protected,they need to bond to someone. Someone who fights against injustice and evil.And from what I observed from all of you guys,you are all definately canidates for the gems.Think of all this as killing two birds with one stone.The Energems,as they are called,are defended from those who want to use them for the wrong things and you guys have something that will win the rebellion."

Akame got into the conversation."If this is true,about the 'Energems',then wouldn't the supposed monster that attack your city be coming to the Capitol,to find the gems.?"

"...yes."The teen replied."But the gems have power beyond the creature.Unfourtuatly,I was alone,and each Energem has to bond to a seperate person in order to defeat such a powerful being."

"I have a question.",Najenda asked,"What exactly do the Energems do to someone once they bond?"

"The gems bestow incredible abilites and power to a user.And with the right technique,they transform you."

"Oh?In to what exactly?"Bulat asked.

"The Energem that bonds to you fules you with the spirit of the most mighty and powerful creatures to ever walk the face of the planet...the dinosaurs."

Tatsumi gave a confused face."What are 'dinosaurs'?"

The blue eyed teen gave a surprised look and then gave a low sigh."Looks like I'm gonna have to give ya guys a history lesson."

The boy went on to explain what were dinosaurs,and even when some of Nightraid asked how the Energems bonded to such ancient creatures,they were met with a simple response: "I da' no."

Once explanations were out of the way,the teen went on to apologize for spying on the group.

The leader of the assassian group finally came to a decision.

"Alright everyone.Even though I half belive our new friend's story,I do blelive him about the Energems.If what he says is true,then we'll take all the help we can get."

With that statement,Najanda raised her hand up to the new soon-to-be member of Nightraid.

"Well then..."

"Dekon.Dekon Crast."said the grey haired teen.

"Dekon.Welcome to Nightraid."

Dekon hesitated at first,but locked hands with Najenda and shook.

"Alright everyone.Get some shuteye."

Before Dekon could leave the meeting room,he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.He turned his head and was face to face with Mine.

"Listen here,String Bean.Even though the Boss says your a part of the team,me and everyone else dosn't trust you.You make the wrong move,and you'll hear it from all of us."

Dekon looked over Mine's shoulder,and sure enough,everyone was giving him suspicious looks.

Dekon chuckled a bit."Look,Flatty,I've got no qurrel with you or anybody else.All I'm here for is to teach you guys how to use the Energems and do whatever chores you need me to do for you guys.That's it."

With his final words,Dekon turned and left the room,leaving behind a very angry and embarresed Mine behind."F-Flatty?!"

00000000

The new morning sun rose over the horizen,bringing down rays of light as it slowly warmed the land.

In the Nightraid hideout,everyone was just arising from their late night sleep.As most of them were washed up and heading to the kitchen for breakfast,they were met with a surprise.

"W-whoa!"Exclaimed Tatsumi.

Layed out on a long wooden table sat a whole range of breakfast items.Eggs,bacon,sausage,and hashbrowns were all on white plates.From the aroma,they were freshly ing around the the table,Dekon carried two large plates of pancakes with golden syrup falling on the stacks.

Dekon wore a blue shirt and light grey pants and an apron.His face,aside from his two scars,had stains from cooking all the food.He only looked up to his new roommates and said: "Sup."

Once everyone was settled into their seats,they dug in.From the faint sounds coming from everyone,Dekon assumed they were enjoying his cooking.Akame out of anyone scoffed down the eggs,bacon,and sausage like it was nothing.

After Nightraid had their fill,they gave their compliments to the chef.

"Holy crap that was good!"the blond girl,Leone,said.

"Yes it was.I must have you in the kitchen from now on."said Akame.Even though her face didn't show it,her eyes had a spark of respect for Dekon's skill.

"May I ask,my friend,where did you learn to cook so well?"Asked Bulat.

Dekon replied with a small smirk."I learned from my parents first.Then I taught myself afterwards."

The green haired boy,Lubbock,looked to Dekon with a raised brow."Afterwards?You make it sound like your parents are dead."

Lubbock's comment got him slapped to the back of the head by Leone.

"Ow!What the hell?!"

"Really man?"

"It's fine Leone.,"Dekon said,"For Lubbock,no my parents aren't dead.They're very much alive,actually.What I meant by 'afterwards' was reffering to when I moved out.I taught myself how to cook after I moved out."

"Oh.Sorry about what I said."

Dekon gave a kind look."It's fine,dude.Anyways,once all of you guys get settled,I want to start training."

Shelle,the girl with purple hair and glasses,gained a face of confusion."Training?"

"Yup.You guys need to start learning how to use the Energems as soon as possible.Do you guys have a training room or something?"

Najenda responded to Dekon's question."We have a courtyard where we spar.Will that sufice?"

Dekon took a sip of coffee before saying,"Perfect."

In the hideout's courtyard...

"Alright."Dekon said,hands to his hips,with a stance of confidence,puffing his chest out.

All members of Nightraid,except Najenda,who sat on the side lines smoking a ciggerette,gathered in a loose cluster.

"If you guys want to use the Energems,you need to know some things first.If you guys slip into evil,your energem will no longer bond with you.So as long as you all stay fighting for the right side,your fine."

Dekon reached behind one of the boulders planted into the ground and revealed the metal cylinder from the previous night.With a twist of a cap,all twelve energems were out in the morning sun.The bright colors caught everyone's attention.

"Akame."

At the sudden call of her name,Akame stepped out and walked towards Dekon.She stopped only a few feet away.

"Hold out your hand."

With the command,Akme presented her right hand.As Dekon lifted the rack of energems,the red one light up in color.The crystal shot out of it's compartment and into Akame's hand.

"Welp.Looks like a perfect match."

Nightraid's eyes were wide open from that point on.Dekon had their attention.Which was good.

"Alright,Akame,I need you to pay close attention to everything I'm about to do. Got it?"

The assassin looked to Dekon,her ruby eyes full of discipline and focus.

"Understood."

"Good.Repeat everthing I'm about to do,okay?"

Akame gave a slight nod.

Dekon looked towards the practice dummy on the far side of the courtyard.A look of focus set itself in him.With a swing of his arm,he mimicked the movemenet of someone reaching for a gun in their back pocket.

Akame followed exactly.

And with a swift rise of his arm,Dekon pretended he held a gun in his right hand.

Akame did the same but what happened after was astonishing.

Instead of just a plain hand,a yellow gun manifested out of thin air.The main body of the gun looked like the head of a dinosaur with yellow as the primery color,black as a secondary color,and red as the third color.The metal body was shape similarly to a revolver but bulkier.The dinosaur like head and face were in the front.The two spots were the nose would be were the two barrels of the gun.Streaks of silver ran down the green eyes of the dinosaur head.The mouth of the head seemed to be 'biting' down on a small black box within the rest of the gun's structure.A small stub of a tail,the top highlighted in red,sat at the end of the gun,most likely the hammer.

Akame tightly held the gun,her eyes wide with amazement.

"This,my friends,is your blaster.And your morpher.With your energem and the morpher,you'll become something mighty."Dekon said,pointing his finger to the gun.

"Alright Akame.I want you to take your energem and hold it forward."

The assassin did as she was told.But as soon as the crystal was raised,it changed.The red crystal turned into metal.It now had a small rigged top.The center of the new capsule was transparet like glass.The front half was red and in silver was the small design of a toothed dinosaur head.In white was the number one,etched into the red.And the other end of the capsule,made of metal,was a triangle shape.In the shape the design of a red t-rex with green eyes.

"Good.",Dekon said with satisfaction."Now follow my lead."

Dekon looked towards the far end of the courtyard.He pretended hold an energem.He then yelled out,"Dino Charger,Ready!"

Dekon then pretended to place the energem into the blaster.Then,it would seem, he slammed down on the 'tail' of the gun.With a bit of a stylish turn of the gun by the trigger and handle,Dekon spun the barrel and raised the pretend gun to the sky.

"Unleash the power!"

With his demonstration done,the blue eyed teen turned to Nightraid.He was met with some faces of disbelife and some people tried their best to not laugh.Most noteably Mine and Leone.

"What?If you guys want to morph,then you got to do what I did.Ok,Akame.Your turn."

Akame came forward and did exactly what Dekon did.But as soon as she pulled the trigger,a ghost like head of a red creature appeared.Everyone went on the offensive,thinking the event was an attack.And they all freaked when the phantom head bit down on Akame.

But in a spark of color,standing in place of the one hit killer of Nightraid,was a scarlet armored being.

Dekon went wide eyed and let out a hearty laugh."Yes!Yes!Nice job,Red!"

Shelle looked at her comrade with curiosity and amazement.

Mine spoke."What the happened to her!?"

Dekon anwsered."This is the power of the energems!Your friend has now become the T-rex Red Ranger!"
