Chapter 3: Darkness awakening
A/N: It's good to be back writing this story! Three days and two nights were enough for me to make this chapter in three hours after a good night sleep. I hope you enjoy this!
Summary: Last time, Leon has created his very first two Yummies, Mantis and Macaw. With the help of the two Yummies, he was able to weaken Plug Org and was also able to witness the Wild Zords descend onto Earth and attack the other Org when it was giant-sized. After the entire battle, Leon blew his flute which surprised the rangers as they started wondering who was playing the flute.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kamen rider or Power Rangers but I own my OC.
In Animarium, Cole and Lion Zord were both sitting at the top of a cliff.
"This place reminds me of where I grew up," said Cole,"but I'm a long way from home now." As he took a glance at a photo of his parents when he was a baby, Lion Zord gave a low growl. Cole then asked,"Hey, Lion Zord, do you remember yesterday when we heard that flute?"
Lion Zord nodded slowly and Cole asked,"Do you know someone who plays a flute like that?" Lion Zord nodded his head as he pointed his paw at the temple where Princess Shayla and the rest of the rangers were. Cole asked,"So you're saying I can find my answer at the temple?" Nodding again, Lion Zord then walked away as Cole started making his way back to the temple.
At the temple, the rangers were all scattered around the area while Princess Shayla was no where in sight.
Just then, a blue sphere came out of the fountain and it transformed into Princess Shayla.
"Did you find out anything about the Orgs?" Asked Taylor as she approached Shayla.
Max then walked up to them and said,"Doesn't matter! The Orgs maybe stronger, but I'm ready for them!"
"But they've never gotten that big before," said Danny.
"They must be getting help," suggested Taylor.
At that moment, a door that was in the temple opened up to reveal Alysaa happily walking in and following up, Cole came swinging into the temple using a vine and landing right in front of Taylor.
"Nice of you to stop by," said Taylor.
Cole shrugged and said,"I never did. I came back from the woods." As he turned his attention to Shayla, he asked,"Princess? May I ask you a question?"
Shayla looked over to Cole and asked,"What kind of question?"
Cole replied,"Princess, yesterday after we defeated the Org, we heard someone playing a flute. Do you know who could that be?"
As everyone turned their attention to Shayla to await her answer, the fountain started erupting with life and they quickly gathered there to see that it was showing another Org.
"Rangers," said Shayla,"You must stop this Org. I'll answer your question later after the Org is destroyed."
Nodding, Taylor said,"Let's go."
As the rangers left, Shayla held her hands together and said,"Leon, please be back soon. The Zords need you. Animarium needs you."
Standing at the top of a rooftop garden, Leon was busy playing his flute to the flowers that were blooming.
When he stopped playing, he could see that the flowers were fully bloomed from his song and chuckled to himself as he bent down to stroke the petals of one of the flowers.
Mantis walked up to Leon and said,"Master, it seems that another Org is here. Shall I go after it?"
Leon nodded as he sat down on a stone bench and said,"That will be appreciated. But I think Macaw should go. I still need you to keep watch after all."
Mantis bowed and said,"Yes, master. I'll tell Macaw to go."
As he left, Leon brought his flute close to his mouth again and he started playing it again.
Once his song was done, the rooftop's door opened and a blonde woman came out with a watering can in her hand and a smile on her face. As the woman looked around, she said to herself,"Hmm, that's strange. I could have sworn I heard somebody playing a flute."
Leon walked up behind her and asked,"Are you talking about me?"
The woman turned around but her smile disappeared when she got a good look at Leon. She dropped her watering can and the water started flowing out as she fell on her back and she started moving back.
"Monster!" She exclaimed.
Before she could run away, Leon firmly grabbed her arm and said,"I'm sorry I scared you, miss. But I'm not here to hurt you."
The woman then shook his hand off of her and said,"Don't touch me! What are you even doing here in the first place?!"
Leon looked over at the flowers and replied,"I came here because of those..."
As she took a look at the garden, she asked,"What about it?"
"These flowers,"said Leon,"They were ready to bloom and I helped quicken the process. But I assure you that I have no intention to harm you or these flowers."
Lowering her guard, the woman said,"Even so, I can't have a monster staying in my garden! Leave now!"
Sighing, Leon walked up to her with a silver medal in his hand and said,"I'm sorry that I have to do this..."
Just as the woman was about to protest anything she wanted to say, a medal slot appeared on her head and Leon inserted it into her. Then, a giant roe-like egg started falling out of an opening that appeared on the woman.
Mantis then appeared and asked,"Master, are you making another Yummy?"
Leon shook his head and said,"Not really. I actually creating a few foot-soldiers for reinforcements when it's time. This will be our hideout for now. This woman will be too busy fulfilling her desire to even notice us or the eggs."
Nodding, Mantis then walked over to the eggs and he started picking them up as he brought them over to a corner behind the door while the woman headed off to where she desires.
Mantis then said,"Master, if I may say, I think that you should create a heavy armored Yummy to help us. That Yummy's strength might be useful in some cases."
Leon nodded and said,"That's not a bad idea." Taking out a silver medal from his hand, he inserted it into the medal slot on his head and a crack appeared on his chest as a Yummy came out of him.
Before long, the Yummy started molting and it soon looked like a humanoid Bison.
The Bison Yummy bowed down and said,"Master, what is it that you wish?"
Leon sat down again and said,"Nothing much right now. Just be sure to keep a look out for any humans coming into this garden. We can't risk being discovered."
Nodding, the Bison started walking off and Mantis said,"I'll help Bison with keeping watch, master. You can just rest here."
Back at the Animarium, Princess Shayla was at the temple where she was looking into the fountain water.
Inside the water, she was looking at Leon.
"It seems Leon is still weak from his revival. It will take a while before he could become the warrior he was back then. I wonder how his Zords are doing too. Don't you wonder too, Lion Zord?"
Purring, Lion Zord nodded back.
After a few minutes had passed since Bison and Mantis went to keep watch, the woman came back with six shopping bags in both her hands.
Then, two of the Yummy eggs started hatching into humanoid shark-like Yummies. As they walked over to Leon, they bowed before him and walked away. Leon sighed as he took out his Core medals and held them tightly as he laid down on the bench before falling asleep afterwards.
Soon, Leon woke up to see that he wasn't on the bench anymore.
In fact, he was in the jungle where his cave used to be located in. As he walked down the familiar path back to the cave, Leon started hearing low growls coming from the direction of the cave.
When he finally reached the cave entrance, Leon gave a sharp whistle that echoed through the cave walls.
From the cave, three pairs of reddish eyes stared back at him and he said,"Come on, boys! You know it's me!"
Soon, a giant golden mechanical lion walked out of the cave followed by a golden tiger and a golden cheetah.
"It's good to see that you three are all awake right now after all these years," said Leon,"I hope you're all ready because we'll be destroying some Orgs soon once I'm fully recovered from my revival."
The three Zords all gave out a loud roar that echoed through the sky and Leon said,"Yeah. We'll be ready soon. Be safe while I heal up." The three Zords all nodded back as Leon took his leave while waving back at them as he started walking through the trees.
Macaw had just landed on top of a building after flying for a few minutes and he started examining his surroundings for any sign of Orgs.
Just as he was giving up his search, he saw that a group of humans below him were being attacked by wires. As he continued to survey the scene, he saw that the wires were from one Org and his name was no other than Barb Wire Org.
"Scream humans! When I'm done, Master Org will make me a Duke Org!" Exclaimed the Org.
Macaw silently crept away from sight as he started flying away to tell Leon about what the Org was planning. While he was flying away, he saw that a few dozen Putrids were already reinforcing the Org in his rampage.
"I gotta warn Leon about this. The warriors won't be able to handle the Org all by their own when they're untrained for battle with these many Putrids," said Macaw.
Leon had just woke up from his sleep and he was greeted by Mantis, who had a medal in his hand. But it wasn't any ordinary medal, it was a yellow Core medal!
"Master, me and Bison found this on the ground. I'm sure this will come in handy for you soon," said Mantis.
Taking the medal from Mantis, Leon replied,"Thanks a lot, Mantis. I just need a few more before I complete my yellow Core medal set."
Mantis bowed again as he moved away so Leon could walk up to the edge of the roof.
He stared down into the city's scenery and asked,"This place sure is great, isn't it?"
Nodding back to his master, Mantis replied,"It is, master. I'm positive that this place will be the perfect hideout for us. There are plenty of humans living in this building and they are all full of desires that we can make use of."
Leon nodded and said,"Yes. That's true. But that's only when we run out of allies like the Shark Yummies. Besides, I'm feeling quite energetic after getting back that Core medal."
Bison soon charged in and stopped in front of Leon as he said,"Master, Macaw had return and he has bad news for you."
As they started following Bison over to where Macaw was, Leon asked,"What's the bad news about?"
Bison replied,"I'm not sure. Macaw told me to call you and I did. He said that it involves you becoming OOO again."
At the mention of the name 'OOO', Leon stopped in his tracks as he started gaining back memories of his past as Kamen rider OOO.
Leon at that point in the past was known as the Night Killer. How he earned that name was a misunderstanding that was never resolved. One night when he was patrolling Animarium, he had spotted a Putrid and he quickly destroyed the Org. But a human saw the whole thing and thought that the Putrid was a human because of the humanoid figure it had. After news got out that Leon had killed that 'human', Kamen rider OOO was now a killer that the humans wanted to avoid and that led to the age of fear where people were scared of him.
Mantis asked,"Master, is everything alright?"
Leon sighed and said,"That answer will have to wait. Now, we have to find Macaw."
But before they took another step, Macaw had appeared in front of them. The bird Yummy bowed to his master and said,"Master, I have bad news. I have found the Orgs and he has help with him."
Leon asked,"Jindrax and Toxica?"
Macaw shook his head and replied,"No. Putrids. And since this era's warriors are all new. I'm sure they aren't fully capable of fighting that many enemies at the same time."
Leon said,"I can see that you are concern about the warriors. But the real problem about it is that I'm not sure if I should become...OOO again."
Macaw replied,"You have to! It's the only way you can fight without getting major damage! Besides, are you going to let the warriors get defeated?"
After listening to Macaw's lecture, Leon sighed and said,"You're right. That was in the past. It looks like things will be more different now. I will become OOO again but only when things get serious."
Nodding, Macaw said,"Now that's the master I respect. Follow me. I know where they are at."
After following Macaw by jumping from roof to roof, they had finally appear on the scene where the leader of the Rangers was just standing still with his eyes close and was facing the Org while his comrade was being held by two Putrids.
When the leader opened his eyes, his face was filled with shock and confusion as he spoke,"I can't hear anything. You don't have a heart!"
The Org laughed and replied,"And you took that long to realize that!"
"Why are you doing this?" Asked the Ranger.
The Org stopped his laughter and replied,"Because Orgs only exist for only one reason. To destroy and reek havoc!" Next, the Org charged at the Ranger when he was still in dazed.
Seeing this, Leon quickly strapped a belt on his waist.
At the sight of the belt, the Yummies knew what their master was planning to do now.
Leon continued by placing three of his yellow Core medals in the three empty medal slots on the belt and he slightly turned the belt while taking out the circular scanner located at the side of the belt strap. He then scanned the three medals using the scanner and he exclaimed,"Transform!"
