Chapter 8
Princess Rescue
"Well…this is a quite a pickle" Kelvin said
It was no understatement either, all the Rangers were surrounded by armies of Black Dogs and monsters. All ready to rip them asunder.
"Not to be the one to state the obvious but don't think we should Ranger up" Kelvin said making everyone nod
They then pulled out their morphers but when the group saw this, they then charged at them, fully intending to stop them. One man then charged at Eric with his sword held high just as Eric finished he's morph sequence.
"Tigerzord!"
Just as man swung at him, Eric then blocked it with a kick and back flipped off the mercenary as he morphed into his Ranger form.
"Nice try!" he said has he drew Saba
An Orc then swung at Michal but he then jumped into the air with a spin as he pressed the button on his morpher.
"White Ranger, Dino Power!"
When Michal landed he then slashed across the monsters chest, killing it.
"To slow!" Michal said resting his Drago Sword
Alex then ducked under a swing from one mercenary and kicked another one away as he completed his morph.
"S.P.D, Emergency!"
He then punched an Orc in the stomach, sending it flying as Alex turned into the Omega Ranger.
"Too bad, so sad" he said getting into battle stance
As for Kelvin he simply went with through the motions as he hit enemies as he did.
"Jungle Beast!"
He then elbowed a man coming up behind him.
"Spirit!"
He then pushed two Imps away as they flew over the group.
"Unleashed!"
He then punched an Orc into a group of other Orc's has he transformed.
"Lesson one people, never get in the way of a rhino" Kelvin said
The Rangers then got busy dismantling the ambush group with ease. Once they were done all around them were piles of corpses that turned the streets red, the only thing that wasn't stained were their suits.
"Alright then, let's move people we have princesses to save" Eric said
With a nod the four then ran down the street with intent to save the princess'.

In the castle, Beardsley was looking over the balcony with a telescope and witnessed the battle between the Rangers and the ambush group and to be frank he was little scared. Though being the cocky man he was, he simply shock it off and walked into the throne room.
"Well, it seems these Rangers are stronger then I realized them to be, all well it's only a matter of time before they fall" he said
"Heh, yeah just keep telling yourself that traitor" a voice said
Looking over it was Alicia, chained to the throne with a metal collar around her neck. Her face was a mess with cuts and patches of dirt and her hair was frazzled.
"Oh is that so Alicia, why is that?" Beardsley asked with a smirk
Alicia simply glared at the ex-minister with a look that could kill and snarled at him.
"Trust me traitor, I have seen their power firsthand, you and those Dogs don't stand a chance" she said
There was actually truth to that statement. It was after a few days after the party; Alicia had challenged Michal to a sparring session so she can gauge the Rangers prowess. In the end Alicia was defeated with ease by the Dino Ranger and the man didn't need to morph to do it.
Beardsley then grabbed hold of Alicia's face and pulled her in close, while the man smiled.
"Don't be so sure my lovely, if you must now its four young children against hundreds of soldiers and monsters, I think the odds a very much in my court" he said while caressing her check
But with a good kick to the man's gut, she pushed the old man away while he recoiled in pain.
"Keep your hands off me you foul piece of trash!" Alicia shouted at the man
The man then sneered at Alicia, giving her a major stink eye. Though his face then changed to a smirk as he chuckled at this. He then went to the door but before he left he then looked over his shoulder at Alicia.
"Believe what you want to believe, but when the Rangers are dead, we'll have a night of passion at last" Beardsley said as he walked out the door.
Alicia then slumped to the ground on her knees has bawled her eyes out. Who would blame her, here she was a prisoner to a despicable man who planned to have he's way with her when this was over, who wouldn't cry at this. She then looked up at the balcony and at the city below.
'Rangers, please…hurry' she thought as she continued to sob
(~~~~~)
Down on the streets, the Rangers were fighting their way through groups of monsters and Black Dogs as they made their way to the castle.
"Keep moving everyone, were almost there" Eric said as he slashed at an Orc, causing blood to come spilling out of its chest.
"Trust us, stopping was the last thing on our minds" Alex said has threw a giant rock at a group of Imps with Muscle mode.
Once they had finished the latest group of attackers then they began to move again to the castle. They were now a few feet away from the entrance to the castle but suddenly Kelvin then stopped when he heard something…a women's scream. He then stopped in his tracks causing the others to stop as well and look at their rhino teammate.
"Kelvin, what's up?" Eric asked
"I heard someone scream, just down that alleyway" Kelvin said pointing down said alley
Eric then smashed his fist into his open hand as he realized something.
"Darn it, I forgot about the citizens, they must be being held somewhere" Eric said
"So what do we do now?" Michal asked as Eric thought about it
"Alright then, Kelvin your with me, were going to free the hostages" Eric ordered as Kelvin nodded, "While we do that, Michal, you and Alex go to the castle and find the princess'" he said as the two nodded
So with that said the four rangers split up and went in different directions, with Eric and Kelvin heading down the alley, while Michal and Alex ran to the castle.
(~~~~~)
Once Michal and Alex got to the castle they could see the drawbridge to the front entrance of the castle was up.
"Darn it, old fart is really getting on my nerves" Michal said, slamming his fist against his open palm
"Yeah and the only way to lower it is on the other side" Alex said
They then looked over the edge of the moat of the castle and saw it was far too wide to jump across and too deep to swim across either, even with their Ranger powers.
"Great, now what do we do?" Michal asked
Alex then placed his hand to his chin as he thought about it in his head. Alex then saw a group of Black Dogs taking a group of men and women to a side entrance of sorts, most likely to the dungeon, but also gave Alex an idea.
"I think I see a way in" he said
(~~~~)
With Eric and Kelvin, they were following the sound of screams and, disturbingly, moaning as well. Once they turned the corner they were met with a church of all things. It's once fine white was now stained red with the blood of innocents.
"Well…that's just wrong on so many levels" Kelvin said with a shiver
Eric and Kelvin then walked up the steps of the church until reaching the front door and with a good kick from Kelvin it then shot open to reveal…a very disturbing sight. In the church were tons of women, all of them being mercilessly rapped by Orcs and Imps alike, and just seeing that made Eric's and Kelvin's blood boil with unbridled angry. It didn't take long for the monsters to notice them and quickly stopped what they were doing and quickly grabbed their weapons.
"So…you take the left I take the right?" Kelvin asked raising his morpher
"Yeah…sure" Eric agreed while he drew Saba
The monster then charged at the Rangers but the Ranges charged as well and slashed and punched into two Orcs effectively killing them. Soon after the two Rangers then turned the place into a slaughter house of monsters. Eric slashed and hacked his way through monsters one by one, showing no mercy to them as he sliced them to pieces with Saba. Soon an Imp tried to grab hold of the White Ranger from behind him, but Eric then thrusted Saba behind him and impaled the small monster on his blade. Then four Orcs then charged at Eric, clubs raised ready to smash him, but Eric then twisted Saba into a back handed grip with Saba's head pointing at them.
"Saba, Fire!" Eric shouted
He then shot down each Orc with crazy precision, each shot piercing through an orc's heart with ease.
With Kelvin, he was simply smash the bones of his victims into dust in their bodies with his Rhino strength and blasting them to pieces with his Rhino Morpher. He then saw a huge group of Imps jumping at him, with their knifes ready to slice into the Rhino Ranger, but Kelvin then raised his Morpher in front of him causing his Rhino Blade to extend. He then reared his hand back causing the blade to glow orange as it powered up.
"Rhino Blade, Super Slash!" Kelvin shouted
He then swung the blade in front of him in a large arc, causing a huge wave of energy to shot out and obliterated the group of imps and a good section of the church wall.
In a matter of seconds, the two Rangers had killed all the monsters in the church and quickly got busy freeing the women that were captured by the monsters. They then lead them out one by one to a more secure area away from the enemies.
"Kelvin, gets these people to a safe location, I'll call Celestine for some possible back up and medics for these people" Eric said as Kelvin nodded as he lead the people to safety.
(~~~~)
With Michal and Alex, they had sneaked their way into the side entrance with ease and made their way in. They were greeted with a long dark tunnel alit with dim torches, they then made their way down the tunnel with their guards up and weapons at the ready. Luckily they didn't have to go far because the tunnel ended with an open room, most likely being the dungeon and were met with a horrific sight. They saw hundreds of people in cells and cages, with men on one side, most if not all them bruised and beaten up greatly. Though the women had it worse, all them were stripped of their clothes and had semen dripping off their bodies and had dazed broken looks in their eyes.
With a shout, Michal then slammed his fist into the wall, causing it to crumble and break from his strength.
"That old geezer is going to pay for this!" he shouted as he sheathed in angry.
But Alex then placed a hand on his shoulder as he calmed down from his fury. Michal then turned to the Omega Ranger as if to send a silent message to him, which Alex understood.
"We have to free these people" Michal said which Alex nodded
"Yes, but you have to keep going" Alex said, surprising Michal
"What?! Why?!" Michal asked
"Come on, you and I both know I'm a pro when it comes to lock cracking, I'll have these people out in no time" Alex said
Michal was about to argue with his friend until the sound of footsteps caught there attention. Then down the nearby stairs came two guards, who seemed to be chatting with each other, unaware of the Rangers.
"…I'll tell you, this whole "Sex Empire" thing was the best thing that Vault ever thought of" one guard said with a smile
"I know right, we get to be the ones in charge and the women are used to satisfy us in every way poss…" the guard said until stopping short when he and his partner spotted the Rangers.
The two parties stared at each other in silence, only to be broken when Alex waved at the two guards.
"Sup" Alex said
That snapped the two out of their stupor as they pointed their spears at the Rangers.
"You two are intruding here, lay down your…" the guard said until he was cut short by a Drago Sword to the throat
The other guard did not fare better as Michal slashed across his throat as well, effectively ending them both.
"And that's why I told you go to ahead" Alex said gesturing to the two dead Dogs
Alex knew sending Michal ahead was the best idea, seeing as Michal was very proficient at combat, almost on the same level as Eric in terms of swordsmanship. Of course Michal knew this too, he just didn't want to leave his friend behind but he knew he needed to save the princesses from their dark fate. So with a simply nod, Michal then bolted up the stairs and into the castle as Alex watched him go.
"Good luck man, you'll need it" Alex said as he got busy lock-picking
(~~~~~)
In the master bedroom of the castle was Prim, who was stripped down to her undergarments and her arms and legs were tied up to the bed posts of the bed. On either side of her was the Mortadella Brothers, a pair of pig-men that wore some very lavish clothes but still held pig traits. Prim couldn't help but cry as the two beasts looked her over from top to bottom, salivating as they did as if they were incepting a fresh cut of meat.
"My, my, she is quite a beauty, isn't she?" one said
"Indeed she is brother" the other beast replied as she traced Prim's body with his fingers.
Prim then flinched by the touch as fresh tears spilled down her checks. Thou this did not matter to the brothers as they both reached for Prim's last bits of cloths that covered her modesty and ripped them off, reveling her nude form to her oppressors. She then shut her eyes as she wept at the state she was in now.
"Please…no more" Prim pleaded but her pleas fell on deaf ears
The pig brothers cackled as they began to reach for their pants, ready to take the purity of the young princess. Luckily, much to her relief, the door slammed open much to the brother's surprise as a very bruised and bloodied mercenary came through the door, breathing heavily.
"Do you mind?! We're busy!" the pig-man shouted with a huff
"White…Dino…Ranger…in the…castle" the guard stammered out
The guard then fell over to reveal a glowing laser arrow in his back, just as it faded away. Seeing this, the brothers had looks of terror on their faces as they looked at the now dead guard.
"We have to get out of here!" the one brother shouted
"Not without our prize!" the other said
He then pulled out a knife and cut the binds that held Prim in place, and quickly grabbed her by the hair and hoisted her on his shoulder.
"Let me go!" Prim shouted as banged against the pig-man's back with her fists
But it did nothing to the fat monster as they rushed out of the room and down the hall, hoping to escape the wrath of the White Dino.
(~~~~~~~)
The walls of the once pristine hall were now covered by blood and corpses of Dogs and Monsters alike. In the midst of the gore was Michal, weaving in and out of battle with amazing agility and speed as he struck down one enemy after another. If one were to look closely, it almost seemed like an orchestra was being played and the White Dino Ranger was the instructor. Michal then spun around and jammed his sword into another Dogs chest, only to pull it out and slash across another man's chest causing blood to come spewing out like a fountain.
"I told you to move out of the way" Michal said as he sheathed his sword
Seeing the area was clear, Michal then ran down the hall. As he ran he looked all-round for any of the two princesses, hoping he was not too late. The only problem that he came across was the fact that this place was too big and had tons of different rooms, most of them being empty.
"Note to self, next time you see Alicia, ask her to put up some maps around this place" Michal said to himself
He then turned another corner, thinking he was about to find another dead end, but to he's shock he found two creatures instead causing him to stop in his tracks. Taking a closer look he realized the creatures were some sort of pig-men and very stylish ones at that. The two then stopped in their tracks as they saw the White Dino Ranger, causing the color from their faces to drain.
"Huh, pigs with suits, now I've seen everything" Michal said with a chuckle
Michal then saw someone slung over one of the beasts shoulders and realized it was Prim, stripped of everything. Michal then balled his fists as he stared down the two Pig-men with hate behind his visor.
"Let her go…NOW!" Michal shouted making the two Pigs flinch
Suddenly a giant group of Dogs and Orc then surrounded Michal and pointed there weapons at the Ranger. The two Pig-men then smirked at the scene as one of them put Prim on the ground so that she can see the scene as well. When Prim saw Michal and the hundreds of men around him, she then went into tears yet again.
"Michal! Help me!" Prim shouted in fear
But one of the Pig-men then yanked on her hair as he cackled.
"Forget it! Your little friend here is about to be a bloody mess on the ground soon!" the Pig said
Or course hearing this only served to angry Michal further as drew his Drago Sword.
"You've got five seconds to let her go, or else…this hallway is going to get very messy" Michal said as he twirled his sword, holding it like a quill.
The man then smirked has he raised his hand, ready to order their men to attack. Prim then looked in horror as she looked at Michal with a pleading look to run, run away and leave her so that he may live…but Michal wasn't having any of that.
"Five"
Michal then quickly drew around him in the air, summoning a swarm of his signature laser arrows. Seeing this the men then backed up in fear as Prim looked in surprise.
"Four"
Michal then drew again, summoning another cluster of arrows causing the men to back up again.
"Three"
He drew again, another batch of arrows.
"Two"
Another drawing, another swarm of arrows.
Michal was now surrounded by a huge cloud of laser arrows, possibly numbering in the millions and they were all pointed at the group around him. Everyone looked with a mixture of fear and anxiety as they stared at the cloud of glowing arrows. Michal then looked over at the young pink haired princess causing them to meet eyes. Michal then swiped two fingers down his visor, right where his eyes would be, as silent messages to the young princess…close your eyes. So Prim obliged and shut her eyes tightly and covered her ears as well for good measure, making Michal nod in approval.
"One"
Then with a flick of his sword, he sent the arrows flying. In matter of seconds the entire hallway was smeared red as screams could be heard as the white hot arrows pierced right through each and every one of the minions, leaving a gaping hole in its wake. Then as soon as it began, it stopped as the once full hallway was now filled with corpses; making everything turn red all expect Michal and his clean white suit. The Pig-men looked in complete horror at the carnage that ensued as there bodies trembled in fear. So without hesitation they then ran the opposite direction, leaving the still blind Prim as they fled for their lives. They didn't get far as Michal appeared in front of them casing them to stop dead in their tracks.
"Where do think you're going?" Michal said in a very low threating voice
Michal didn't even let them speak as he slashed at the two Pig-men in a z shape, causing sparks to erupt from the two Pigs until exploding in a fiery explosion, leaving nothing but ashes.
Once they were gone, Michal then made his way to Prim who still had her eyes shut and her ears covered. Michal then picked the young women up in his arms bridal style, which slightly startled her.
"Michal…is that you?" Prim asked hoping it was
"Yes Prim, it is me" Michal replied
Prim was about to open her eyes but Michal placed his hand on her eyes before she could.
"If you would please, I would appreciate it if you keep your eyes closed a little longer" Michal said as Prim nodded
Although Prim was almost subjected to rape not too long ago, he still wanted keep some form of innocence in the small princess. So Michal used he's super speed to run down the hall and around the corner, only to stop at another door. He then placed Prim on the ground next to the door and looked inside. Inside was yet another bedroom and seemed to be untouched, so Michal quickly walked in and ripped the blanket off the bed. He then knelt down in front of Prim and wrapped the blanket around Prim's body as to hide her nude body.
"There, now you can open your eyes" Michal said
So Prim slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by Michal's covered face. Prim then wrapped her arms around Michal's mid-section and started to ball her eyes out. Michal then rubbed the young princess's back in a soothing manner.
"It's okay Prim, you safe now" Michal said in a soft tone which calmed her down
Once Prim was done crying Michal then looked her straight in the eyes.
"Listen I need your help Prim, I need to find your cousin but I don't know my way around this place" Michal said
"I can help you, but I'm not much of a fighter" Prim said
"That's okay, just lead me to the throne room and I'll handle the rest" Michal said
So with nod from Prim she then led Michal down the hall as Michal brandished his blade.
(~~~~~)
In the throne room, Beardsley was sitting on the throne, tapping his fingers nervously on the armrest. While Alicia sat next to the throne with her knees up to her face.
"What is taking them so long, they should have reported back to me by now" Beardsley said to himself
He of course was waiting for news of the Ranger's death so that he can get busy taking Alicia's purity. Although it's been really quiet as of late, to quiet and now the ex-minister was starting to get a little nervous. Suddenly a knock could be heard from the door making the man sigh in relief and causing Alicia to look at the door in fear.
"Finally some news, come in" Beardsley announced
Suddenly the door then blasted off its hinges, sending the doors crashing to the ground with a loud thud. This or course frightened the minster and the princess greatly, but the most frightening thing were the footsteps approaching them. The figure then stepped into the light, revealing itself to them, much to Beardsley's horror and Alicia's happiness.
"Knock, knock."
