Mirajane has just finished a brand new weapon for the rangers and it was being tested right now. It was something for Sting and Rogue and they were riding on it. They both rode on Magic-Cycles with dragon heads up front. They both rode around the woods to make sure everything was working right.
"Okay. Let's see if the transfiguration works." Mirajane said as she and the others watched.
"So what's going to happen?" Natsu asked.
"If this works, those two bikes will form a super powerful cannon." Erza said.
"Here goes." Sting said.
"All set." Rogue said. Both of them flipped a switch and jumped off their bikes and they were suppose to join together. Instead, both the bikes malfunctioned and just crashed. "So much for the cannon."
"Sorry, Mira." Sting said.
"It's okay." Mirajane said as they helped up get them back up. "Apparently they still need some work with the configuration. We'll just have to keep practicing until we get it." They need to get this weapon working so they can get another leg up on Zeref.

The Cube
"Lord Zeref, I believe might have come up with another plan." Kyoka said, but just as she stepped into the throne room, she walked right into some sort of web and got ensnared in it. "Gross! What is this?"
"I'm afraid you're too late, Kyoka." Tempester said with the others already inside.
"What's going on? What is this stuff?" Kyoka asked as she could barely get free. At the same time, something came down behind her.
"You like my webs?" The new monster was black and yellow with a claw and a spinneret for a left arm and had spider legs on his back.
"Who are you?" Kyoka asked.
"Meet Araknard." Zeref said.
"Another spider-themed monster. We already tried that once before and it didn't work." Kyoka said.
"Yes, but sometimes a seconding is better than the first." Keyes said. "Araknard is much more powerful Spiderrot."
"Really? So what does this one have planned?" Kyoka asked.
"Just have a look up." Araknard said. Kyoka looked up and saw a spider egg sack and there were hundreds of eggs in it. "My children. Aren't they lovely? I plan on capturing some humans and have my children feast upon their hatching so they become big and strong."
"With the Power Rangers, they'll grow even better." Zeref said. "Go and bring the food for your children."
"Gladly." Araknard said as he went out to capture his prey.
….
Magnolia
People were running scared as Araknard was gathering people for food. He shot out a web and ensnared another human as he pulled that human up into his web with other people. The team arrived and saw what he was doing.
"Stop that! Let those people go!" Natsu said.
"Hello, rangers. I'm so glad you could make it." Araknard said as he jumped down from his web. "Let's see if you're as good as they say. I don't want my children to eat any junk food. Tartaro soldiers, attack!" Tartaro soldiers came out and attacked the team.
"Let's get that spider, Rogue." Sting said.
"Right behind you." Rogue said as the two of them pushed through and went for Araknard.
"Come and get me." Arknard dared. Both of them held out their sabers, but Araknard jumped over the both of them. He used his spinneret and shot out globs of webbing at the both of them as they both tried to avoid it. Sting's feet got caught in one and he fell down. "Looks like I got a ranger snack."
"No way!" Rogue said. He transformed his saber into a blaster and shot him a few times.
"Forget this. I'll get you next time." Araknard said as he made his escape and the soldiers vanished.
"You two alright?" Natsu asked as they regrouped.
"Yeah." Rogue said.
"Oh no. The web with the people are gone." Lucy said as they saw the web just vanished.
"Did that monster say something about turning those people to food?" Gajeel asked.
"We better find them and do something fast." Erza said.
"You think we can do that after I get free." Sting said as he tried to tear the web, but it was strong and now he couldn't get his hands free. "This stuff is strong and really sticky."
"Try not to move." Rogue said as he used his blaster and blasted through the webs and got him free.
"What is this stuff?" Sting said and thought it was best to analyze it since Araknard uses it.
…
Rangers' Base
"It's spider silk." Mavis said as they finished the analysis.
"It can't be. It's strong stuff." Sting said.
"Actually, the thicker the spider threads are, the stronger it is." Jellal said.
"Yes and apparently it's stickier than average." Mavis said. "This is one web you don't want to get caught in. Mira, do you think the new Dragon Magic-Cycles will help beat this monster?"
"Possibly, but I need Sting and Rogue." Mirajane said.
"Get to work." Mavis said. "In the meantime, we'll try to track down the humans that were abducted before it's too late." Mirajane with Sting and Rogue stepped out to get work on the Magic-Cycles done. Just after they left, they were alerted of danger again. The other rangers gathered around and saw Araknard was back.
"Him again!" Gajeel said.
"We better get going." Natsu said as the rest of them hurried out.
…
Araknard
Araknard continued to abduct people as he used his webbing to grab people. Just as he grabbed another, Natsu used his weapon and burned through the threads with Gajeel catching the guy.
"I never did like spiders." Natsu said.
"So nice of you all to come and join me." Araknard said, but noticed Sting and Rogue weren't there. "Where's the last two? Have they ran off?"
"You're dealing with us right now." Jellal said.
"We'll see about that." Araknard said as he summoned more of the soldiers and had them attack.
…
The Woods
Sting and Rogue continued to work on their new rides. They riding was good, but the problem seems to be the part where they turn into a cannon. Sting and Rogue gave it a try as they flipped the switch and they both jumped off. It looked like it was about to work, but they malfunctioned again and crashed again.
"Dang it!" Sting said.
"Don't be mad. You two aren't doing anything wrong." Mirajane said. "I've got to get back to work at the Mystic Star so I'll figure it out." Before they could do much, their morphers went off.
"Sting! Rogue! We need some help!" Natsu said.
"Go. I'll work on it." Mirajane said and the two of them headed off to help the others.
….
The Fight
The rangers tried to fight off Araknard, but he was a tough one. Erza and Lucy were held down by tartaro soldiers and Araknard took aim with his spinneret.
"You two will make fine meals." Araknard said as he shot out his threads at the two of them and almost completely encased the two in web cocoons. The guys were fighting the soldiers, but saw the girls were in trouble.
"Oh no! The girls!" Gray said.
"Let them go!" Gajeel demanded, but both of them were knocked down. Araknard shot out globs and hit both of them with webs on them that was holding them down.
"Guys!" Natsu called out.
"That's enough." Jellal said as they both pulled out their weapons, but didn't get the chance to fight back as Araknard shot his webbing at them and got them trapped too.
"Excellent. Take them back with the others while I get the complete set." Araknard said. The soldiers took the rangers and teleported away.
"Guys!" Araknard heard Sting calling out for them. He acted fast and hid away. Sting and Rogue showed up, but saw there was no sign of them anywhere. "Guys, where are you?!"
"You think we're too late?" Rogue said.
"We better get Mira and Mavis and find them fast." Sting said.
"That's what you think." Araknard said as he transformed into a spider. He crawled over them and landed gently on Sting's back without them even noticing. The two of them left and weren't aware they were carrying evil.
….
A Warehouse
The bad guys were using another warehouse as their little hideout. All of them and the people taken were all trapped in the web and it was so thick and sticky that they could barely move a finger.
"The fun isn't over yet." Kyoka said. "Araknard's babies are close to hatching and newborns are always hungry." The eggs hanged in the web and were soon going to have rangers for their first meal.
….
Mystic Star
Sting and Rogue hurried to the Mystic Star to talk to Mirajane. Upon their arriving, the spider dropped off of Sting. Sting and Rogue went right up to Mirajane at the counter.
"Mira, we have a serious problem." Sting said.
"The others are missing." Rogue said. "That spider monster might have captured them and storing them for food."
"Have you figured out how to fix up our new rides?" Sting said.
"I think. Mavis said she did some work on them." Mirajane said. "Head over to the base and take them to find the others." Rogue and Sting did just that and left to find a safe place to teleport.
"Spider!" Someone screamed and saw the spider. Before anyone could crush it, the spider changed back into Araknard.
"Time to gather some food." Araknard said as he shot his webbing everywhere. Sting and rogue were just on their way out when they heard screaming.
"What's going on?" Sting said as the two went back to see what was going on. However, they saw threads blocking the entrance. Both knew of them this wasn't good as they tried to break through it. Everyone inside got caught up in the webs by Araknard. "Mirajane!" Sting and Rogue kept trying to pull the webs, but their hands got caught in it.
"Sting! Rogue!" Mirajane called out, but Araknard took her and everyone else away.
"No!" Rogue called out.
"We got to get to Mavis." Sting said.
"How? We can't get our hands free." Rogue said.
"Sorry." Sting said. Rogue didn't understand until Sting kicked him where his morpher was and was able to get him to teleport. Sting tried bending his leg to his morpher and was able to teleport as well.
…
Rangers' Base
Sting and Rogue were able to teleport to the base and got Mavis' attention.
"Mavis! Araknard got the others and Mirajane." Sting said.
"Any luck on finding the people that were captured?" Rogue asked.
"Yes." Mavis said as she brought an image of the warehouse on the computer. "They're all trapped inside that warehouse."
"Rogue, we have to use the Dragon Magic-Cycles. They might be the only things that can help us now." Sting said.
"Mavis, were you able to get them fixed up like Mirajane said?" Rogue asked.
"I think so, but there's no time to test it. Go!" Mavis said.
"Magical Energy, Unleash!" Both of them morphed and took their new rides out.
…
The Warehouse
The people taken hostage were hanging in the web and time was just about up. The eggs were hatching and the spiders were starting to come out.
"That's right, children. Hatch and become powerful." Araknard said. The spiders hatched from their eggs and started to crawl out with some of the people, mostly the girls, freaking out from the spiders. Kyoka were enjoying the fact that the rangers were finally helpless. Her enjoyment was short as she was hearing something.
"What's that sound?" Kyoka asked. That was when Sting and Rogue burst through the wall n their new rides and slammed against Kyoka and Araknard.
"Guys!" Sting called out.
"Aim for the spiders!" Rogue said as they both pulled out their blasters and shot the spiders with eggs falling to the ground.
"My babies!" Araknard screamed. Some of the threads were blasted through and some of the people were able to get themselves free.
"You get everyone out of here! We'll take care of Araknar!" Sting said. Both of them rode on and grabbed a hold of Araknar right outside. Natsu and the others took the tears and were able to get themselves free.
"Unhand me." Arkanard said.
"You asked for it." Sting said as he and Rogue and tossed him against a tower.
"Hold still!" Araknard said as he shot out his webs, but Sting and Rogue were too fast for him.
"Fire!" Sting said as they both shot energy blasts and blasted around Araknard. "It's now or never."
"I'm with you!" Rogue said.
"Dragon Cannon, Activate!" Sting and Rogue flipped the switch and activated the transformation and it seemed to be working. The cycles turned upside down and had the wheels turned on their sides. The dragon heads turned upside down and the two connected together. The seats and bars stretched out and were used as stands for the cannon. The others managed to get everyone free from the web as they all ran out and they saw the cannon in action.
"It worked!" Mirajane said.
"Alright!" Natsu said.
"Let's see what that thing can do." Erza said.
"That doesn't scare me." Araknard said.
"You should be scared." Sting said.
"Time to squash this spider." Rogue said.
"Fire!" Both the dragons heads fired an energy blast that spiraled around each other and blasted Araknard with a great amount of power.
"I'm coming my babies!" Araknard shouted before he was destroyed.
"Nice going you guys." Gajeel said.
"This thing is awesome." Gray said as they all admire the new weapon.
…
The Cube
"Where is Keyes?" Tempester asked. "Why isn't he down there and making Araknard bigger?"
"Lord Zeref!" Keyes called out as he entered the throne. "Lord Zeref, you must see this. I believe I might have found a power that could take care of the rangers once and for all." Keyes handed over some papers to Zeref and Zeref looked over the papers and was highly interested with what he was seeing.
"Impressive. It seems a past evil shall be returning." Zeref said.
