Cherry sat on the cliff ledge with Red Lion staring up at the stars, two nights after Gavin and William officially joined the team, "Can you believe, we only have the Shark to choose his guardian, we're almost a complete team?"
Red Lion grumbled in his chest,
"Yeah, I guess you're right, it's only a matter of time, so what do you think of Gavin and William, do you think they're going to pull this off?" Cherry asks, she looked up as Red Lion heaved a sigh, then shook out his mane,
Cherry laughed, "Yeah, Point taken, but Gavin does have promise, saving world is in his blood, as it is in mine,"
Red Lion rumbled in his chest, but Cherry understood him,
"I should go make sure that boy isn't eating us out of the Animarium," Cherry replies as she stood up and dusted of her jeans, "Have a good evening, Red Lion,"
Cherry left without another word, she walked though the dense jungle of plants, and up into the temple, where their bedrooms were at, she spotted Gavin at the picnic table, eating.
"Save some for the rest of us," Cherry snaps,
"But I'm hungry," Gavin whines,
"You're always hungry, what do you have a bottomless bit for a stomach?" Cherry asks,
"And you don't crater mouth," Gavin replies,
Cherry rubbed her temple like a headache was coming on, "Just go to bed, moron."
"Who made you the leader?" Gavin asks,
"Red Lion, that's who. He chose me because I'm just as stubborn as my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather Cole Evans," Cherry replies, before going over and grabbing Gavin by the ear, "Come on, Bison boy,"
"Ouch, let go." Gavin states,
Cherry dragged the Bison Ranger over to the boy's side of the bedrooms, "Get in there and don't come out til morning,"
Cherry thought about sleeping in her favorite tree, just to be sure that Gavin didn't sneak back out and raid the food stores, it wasn't everyday that they had food, they got the fruits from the Animarium, but the rest was brought in the market, "Eh, what the hay, might as well, I could also get a hammock and put it up here," she climbed in the branches and found a good place the sleep,
In the early morning hours, Cherry woke up and stretched out then proceeded to fall out of the tree,
Princess Shayla appeared from her sacred fountain and ran over to Cherry, "Are you alright?"
The four other rangers ran out of their bedrooms, to find Cherry on the ground,
"What happened to you?" Eve asks,
"I fell out of a tree," Cherry answers, "to answer your question, Princess, I'm fine, nothing bruised or broken,"
"That's good, but why were you sleeping in a tree?" Princess Shayla asks,
Cherry looked at Gavin, "Bison boy, over there was hungry, and we don't have that much food,"
The other three turned to look at Gavin, and Eve went over and slapped him upside the head,
"What part about living on a floating island, that is a few miles from a domed city don't you understand? there's only so much food in the city," Eve ranted,
"Which means, we have to destroy Venjix, so the world can heal herself to bring back life," Cherry states, "Come on, we got stuff to do today,"
"Yeah, Gavin, we're lucky to get most of what we eat from the island," Crystal adds, "And we have everything planned out for days in advance, but now you're here we just have to make due without whatever you ate last night,"
"But I was hungry," Gavin replies,
"You're always hungry!" Cherry, Crystal, Eve, and even William exclaims,
After few moments of shared silence, Cherry turned and left, Crystal, Eve, and William followed after her,
Gavin sighed and chased after them,
"So what are we doing today?" Gavin asks, after the teleported into the domed city
"You are going to patrol the city, I have a meeting with Colonel idiot, I mean Truman," Cherry replies,
"Still don't like him," Crystal states,
"Nope, see ya guys later, call me if anything happens," Cherry replies, before she ran off,
"So guys, let's get to it," Crystal states, before they started on their patrol.
Cherry hated going up to the Command Center of Corinth City, stupid military personnel always wanting to see her ID badge, one would think her growl phone and jacket would be enough, nope, they had to body scan her everytime she came up, for her meetings with the Colonel,
She walked into the main office and where the Colonel's desk was, and crossed her arms over her chest, she had taken to wearing her hair under red headband just like her relative, her brunette locks in need of a good trimming, "What do you want this time, I have things that need seeing too,"
Scott Truman choked on a laugh as he was standing behind his father, Cherry raised an eyebrow, she thought things were different, that Scott would have made a great red ranger,
"You should salute the Colonel when you come in here," Corporal Hicks states,
Cherry turned, "Do I look like a soldier, no, I'm a Ranger and nothing more, my job in the save the earth and the human race, you can salute this jumped up Colonel all you like,"
"That's enough, Hicks leave us." Colonel Truman states, before putting his hands on the table, "I have someone I want you to meet,"
Cherry looked around, "All I see are the same soldiers from before, unless you promoted someone since last time,"
"I'm down here," a voice states,
Cherry looks down at the table, where a laptop computer was resting, on the screen was a letter K, "You wanted me to meet a talking letter?"
"I am not just a letter, I'm a scientist," the letter K,
"Sure, you are." Cherry replies, "Besides meeting with the Letter K, what else do I own being summoned here, I could be out with my team,"
"I wanted to speak with you about this team of yours," The Letter K answers, "I want analyze your morpher,"
"How about no, the morphers don't choose the rangers," Cherry replies, her growl phone started ringing, she flipped it opened, "Yeah, what's up?"
"We got trouble down here, Grinders and something that looks like a giant hose looking thing," Crystal reported, "In sort, you need to get here,"
"It's a Generation 5 Attack Bot" K states,
Cherry looked at the letter, silently wondering how he could know this, "On my way," She replies then looks at the Colonel, "Colonel, Scott, Letter K," she then runs out of the command center,
Down on the streets, Cherry ran,
"Wild Access!" Cherry morphed on the run.
"Cherry, Granddaughter of Cole, you must call on the Wild Force Rider," A voice states,
Cherry stopped short and nearly tumbled head of heels, "Who just said that?"
"It was Animus," Princess Shayla informed, "He's given you the Wild Force Rider,"
"Fine by me, Wild Force Rider!" Cherry shouted then a red motorcycle came in a green tunnel, Cherry ran along side of it before jumping on,
Cherry drove it until she notices that she could use an aerial mode, "Wild Force Rider, Aerial Mode!" she pulled up and took to the skies, "Sweet," she flew over the domed city until she came to where her team was at, "Lasers!"
"Woah, Do we get one?" Gavin asks,
"Nope, this baby is all mine, You get the Savage Cycles, Apparently the Red Lion Savage Cycle was destroyed a long time ago," Cherry replies as she wheeled around,
Cherry leapt from the Wild Force Rider, and landed on the ground right beside Crystal, "Well Let's get in there!"
"Let's summon the weapons," Crystal states,
"Bison," Gavin states, as the Bison Ax appears in his hand,
"Eagle," Eve states, and a golden sword appears in her hands,
"Lion," Cherry states, and the lion fang appears on her fist,
"Tiger," Crystal states and a baton materializes in her hand "Eve gets a sword, I look like I should be a in marching band,"
They fought off the Grinders,
William used his lunar cue to destroy the Generation 5 Attack bot, since the others couldn't form the Jungle Sword, without the Surging Shark, until something happened that the new Rangers didn't except,
"How are we suppose to fight a thirty story attack bot!" Cherry exclaims,
"We can't even form a megazord, without the Shark," Eve complained,
"I can," William replies, before the Rangers ducked out of the way as the Attack Bot's foot came down where they were at,
"You what?" Cherry asks,
"I can form a Megazord, The Hammerhead Shark and the Alligator Wild Zords gave me their animal crystals," William replies,
"Just don't stand there, do something before we don't have a city to protect!" Crystal states,
"Alright," William replies, "Just how do I summon the zords?"
A flute started playing, William had flashes of the first Lunar Ranger fighting, "Right. Wild Zords Descend! " he then used the Laser Pool technique and summoned his zords, "Wild Zords, Combine!"
The Lunar Ranger teleported in the cockpit of his megazord and inserted the Lunar Cue into the control panel, "Ready for Battle! PredaZord Awaken!"
The emblem on Cherry's suite flashed, "What Red Lion?"
Red Lion roars,
Cherry gasps, "We can summon the other wild zords, They want to help, they just won't combine like the PredaZord,"
"Rangers, put your Animal Crystals into your sabers," Princess Shayla informs,
Cherry looks at her saber and crystal, "They're glowing,"
"Ours too," Crystal states,
The Rangers did as they were told, "Wild Zords, Descend!" a melody begins the play as rainbow forms breaking thought the shields of the city, and the wild zords came running down.
The PredaZord with help from the other Wild Zords destroyed the Attack Bot, and went back to the Animarium,
"Who wants to celebrate our first victory against Venjix?" Cherry asks,
"We do!" the other four rangers replies,
"Where are we going?" Eve asks,
"I say Pizza, I know a great place." Cherry replies,
"Sweet," William replies,
The rangers all went to Jungle Karma Pizza, that was rebuilt in Corinth City,
"Welcome to JKP, my name's Camille, Table for Five, right this way," the waitress states,
The five unmorphed Rangers sat together looking at menus,
"Who puts bananas on a pizza?" Crystal asks,
"The founder of this place, some guy by the name of RJ," Cherry answers, "There's even a motto written on the wall,"
On the wall above the buffet was a sentence, "Everything is better with bananas,"
Gavin choked on his soda, "RJ, the RJ?"
"You know of him," Cherry replies,
"Everyone should know of him, he was the Violet Wolf Ranger," Gavin replies,
"How do you know about the Jungle Fury Rangers?" Camille asks, "No one should know about the Rangers' identities,"
Gavin looked at their hostess, "You're Camille, you served Dai Shi! Then changed sides,"
"Come with me," Camille states, "you're food is on the house, I want some answers,"
The Rangers looked at Gavin as he stood up and walked with Camille,
Camille turned back "All of you as well,"
"Come on guys, We are standing in the mist of a Ranger Ally legend," Gavin replies,
Cherry shrugs and gets up, with the rest following her.
Camille knew something was strange with humans, they had animal spirits but weren't Pai Zhuq, also she has been out of the Ranger loop, since her old friends passed away years ago, even her beloved Jarrod succumbed to old age, but as holder of the Chameleon spirit, she had a rather long life span,
The New Wild Force rangers entered a loft area, there were training mats, and a claw symbol on the walls and the mats,
"Welcome to my home, Rangers," Camille states, "Now how do you know about RJ and the others?"
"That's easy, It was all on a dvd that was passed though my family for years, Originally it was video diary of the Legendary Power Ranger, Tommy Oliver, but he gave copies to all of this teammates, each one has add to it over the years, I have the last remaining copy," Gavin replies, "It was the only thing, I brought with me from Angel Grove,"
"Breathe," Camille states, "Well that's impressing, I must watch it sometime, what are your names?"
"I'm Cherry," Cherry states,
"Crystal,"
"Eve,"
"William,"
"Gavin,"
Camille looked at each other then in turn, "You're protected by animal spirits as well, they are a match for those Animal zords, you summoned two hours ago,"
"Huh?" Cherry replies,
"You mean the Wild Zords," Gavin replies, "They are pretty impressive themselves as is our mentor, the Pr-"
"Gavin, shut up." Cherry interrupts, "We don't want certain people to know about our mentor,"
Camille started to laugh, "Yes, keeping some mentors a secret is best, you will train with me during the days, JKP is closed,"
"No way, we didn't sign for training with you," Cherry replies,
"Well you could train with two of my employees, they know all about you and your powers," Camille retorts,
"Hey, boss-lady, can we close yet?" a voice asks from down stairs,
"Yes, when you're finished come up here, I have people I want you and T to meet," Camille replies, "I just hired them because I was just like them once,"
"Crystal, would you be kind enough call our mentor and tell her, we'll be late coming home?" Cherry asks,
"sure," Crystal replies before walking away,
A few minutes later two human looking people came upstairs, and gasped as they saw the new team of rangers,
"We know those jackets," the male states, Cherry thought he looked like a clown without the make-up.
"I just hope, they have enough sense not to call me grandma," the female replies,
"Who are you?" Eve asks,
The two people looked over at Camille, who nodded, and they transformed.
"Toxica and Jindrax," Cherry gasps,
"I met those two when they first came to Corinth, I knew them for what they wore, seeing as I wear disguises too," Camille explains, "I hired them to give them a second chance,"
"This is way to strange," Eve states,
Crystal came back and saw the two Duke Orgs, "An old friend of yours, says hello,"
Toxica and Jindrax brighten, "You think we could see her sometime, it's been forever, 2,000 years is way to long,"
"Animus gives you permission to enter our base, only when you call first, no more sneaking in." Crystal replies,
Toxica blushed, "That was one time, and I died because of it,"
"I'm confused, how are you alive?" Cherry asks,
"Oh that, after we travel the world, we found a cave and sealed it up where we slept, something told us that we might be needed," Toxica answers, "And the feeling was right, we are here to help you newbies,"
"I bet she doesn't even know how to hold a sword," Jindrax states looking at Eve, who was giving him a very Taylor-like glare.
"Eve, you're staring to look like your ancestor," Cherry laughed.
"Whatever, Jungle Girl." Eve replies,
Gavin chokes on a laugh,
I wouldn't be laughing if I were you, you have a nickname too," Cherry snaps,
"There's one of you missing?" Toxica replies, "Where's your blue ranger?"
"We don't have one yet, the Shark hasn't chosen anyone, but with this domed city, it's hard and some humans are Imprisoned by Venjix," Cherry answers,
"You need training badly," Jindrax states, "I'll dust off my Master of Blades title just this once,"
"I can teach you the different fighting styles of each animal," Camille adds, "Even I can manage to get help from the Spirit World if I have too,"
"I said we don't need any training," Cherry replies, "We're doing just fine,"
Camille transformed into her normal outfit for fighting, "Fine then, prove it." as she moved over to the mat,
"I hate it, when she gets like this," Jindrax states as he and Toxica move to get a better view,
Cherry swallowed and moved over to stand before Camille, who looked at her like a teacher would.
"Attack me," Camille orders,
"What?" Cherry asks,
"I will not repeat myself," Camille replies before attacking on her own,
Cherry found herself out of her league, she was soon on her back with Camille's foot on her chest,
"I'm twelve thousand years old, not stupid." Camille states, before releasing the Cub and holding out her hand,
"Point taken, We have to discuss this with our mentor," Cherry replies,
