"Welcome back to Galaxy Warriors, I am your host, Cosmo Royale!" the monstrous show host said to the crowd of monsters whom all cheered. "And our next event is going to be a doozy. The Survival run. As you know for ages we have tried to find the champion whom was worthy of wielding one of the Primal Quartz!" Cosmo Royale showed five cubical crystals with animal emblems on it. "So far no luck. But then five of our stubborn…unpaid interns decided to steal them." There was a boo sound coming from them. "But we are not just going to retrieve them, we are making a game out of it." The crowd cheered again. "Now let's see how they're doing, and check the Buzzcam footage!"

"And the Buzzcams have their eye on tour 'unpaid interns'. They are making a run for it, but our Viroids and no one else but our newest Player are on their tails."

We see five humanoid animal-themed aliens running from creatures resembling the Moeba from Zyuohger. The five animal humanoids appeared to be a bird, a lion, a tiger, a shark and an elephant. And they were fighting their way to Freedom. The Bud counterpart muttered: "Just a few more miles, we're nearly out of range." He said as he struck down several Moebas with a sword.

The bird person had a sword on hand, and he was cutting down the Viroids. The lion man tackled a few of them, grabbed them by their waist, and flung them upwards in the air, and they came crashing down lifeless. The elephant swung its trunk around and knocked a few Viroids around. The shark girl delivered a few martial arts blows that knock some mooks down? But the next she bit his face off and discarded the rest. The last one, the tiger girl pounced on a few of them and clawed at their faces.

"Keep fighting, we're nearly there…" the bird guy said. "Almost out of range, so we can…yes!" He pulled out a device and threw it in front of him, and it created a portal. "We're out of here!"

The other Beastman rejoiced and ran ahead, towards the portal. The bird guy right behind them. However, suddenly, a line of jagged pointy stones shot from the ground, nearly skewering them. Four of them managed to avoid them and were close to the portal, but the bird guy's path was obscured. He looked and saw the line went on for a long distance, he couldn't walk around it, the stones are too large to jump over and due to an injury to his wing earlier, he couldn't fly either.

"Not so fast, you filthy beasts!" a monster resembling Jagged from Zyuohger came onto the scene. "You have something that doesn't belong to any of you."

"These do, they are treasures and a part of our world's history. You from Galaxy Warriors decided to steal it!" the lion growled.

"Finders, keepers." The rocky monster said.

"You didn't find it, you snatched them." The shark girl said.

"Toe-may-toe, to-mah-to!"

"You're not getting them, Stabite. Neither you or anyone else on the Galaxy Warriors crew. We are done being your playthings and slaves." The bird guy said. "We are taking these Primal Quartz back through that portal."

"They are going to take their Quartz, you are stuck here. I may still get your Quartz." Stabite said. "Unless your friends hand over their Quartz too, and I'll let you all go unscathed. Either I leave with one quartz and one dead body, or five quartz and no dead body."

"Incorrect, you'll leave without any quartz." The bird guy said as he threw his cube over the wall of spiky stones, and it was caught by the lion guy.

"Horus, what are you doing?"

"Tusk, Sela, Roary, Amy…take the Quartz through the portal, away from them, don't look back."

"But what about you?" Amy, the tiger girl asked.

"I'll hold him off. Quick, the portal won't remain open forever. If they get the Quartz, it is over."

"But…" Roary, the lion man started to tear up.

"I said, go!" Horus said as he pulled out his sword.

"He's right. I hate to say it but…we can't let them have these." The elephant man, Tusk said. The portal started to close.

"We'll be back for you." Roary said as the four turned around, teary-eyed and jumped in.

"You fool, now you are alone and defenseless!" Stabite said.

"Alone…" Horus said as he pulled out his sword. "But never defenseless!" He then rushed at Stabite, his sword out.

Skyler Hawkins was a humble zoologist. He loved animals, so it was a no brainer in what he wanted to become. Right now he was enjoying nature, checking for animals to study. He heard a sound and looked around to see an eagle on a branch. "Oh hi, Screech. You have grown a lot. You did well ever since you left the nest." The eagle turned its head and let out a softer softer cry, before leaning over to him. Skyler scratched the back of his head gently, and he closed his eyes in delight. "Now, you are looking real majestic. How about I make a sketch?" Skyler pulled out a sketch pad and a pencil. "Just stand still for a bit." Screech squawked. "Yes, you get a piece of jerky afterwards. Seriously, a whole ecosystem to hunt from but you still get snacks on the side. You may end up spoiled." He wanted to make his first drawing as suddenly he heard something in the distance. Screech flapped its wings and let out a cry. "You heard that too, right? It sounds like someone may need help."

He ran for a while until he reached the edge of the forest. There he saw them. Roary, Sela, Tusk and Amy, laid out on the ground, holding on to the Quartz for dear life, with Stabite and the Viroids standing over them. "You should have given me the Quartz from the start, things would have gotten less messy." Stabite threw a broken sword at their feet. They recognized it.

"No…Horus." Sela cried softly.

"He shouldn't have been so darn proud. Didn't go down easy, I tell ya." Stabite said. "See how keeping this Quartz from me isn't worth risking your life for? It's futile. You still can escape with your lives, just give me those nice glimmering cubes."

"Get stuffed!" Roary growled.

"That's a shame…But not unexpected. Oh well, your hides will look good on my wall…" Stabite raised his arms, but suddenly, he got hit between the eyes by a pebble. "Huh?"

"Leave them alone!" Skyler said. He knew in hindsight it was not a good idea to make the alien monster made of jagged rocks angry, but he couldn't let him hurt these Beastman.

"This has nothing to do with you, human. I am here to settle business with these beasties." Stabite said.

"I see you are bullying people and trying to steal from them. I know enough. I know that I can't let you do anything to them." Skyler said.

"Kid has guts. No brains, but he has guts." Tusk noted.

"I like the cut of his jib." Roary said.

"And what are you doing to do, you pipsquak?" Stabite said. He got hit by a rock. It didn't hurt him since he had tough skin, but he looked annoyed. "Did you just throw a rock at me." Another was thrown at him. "Did you do it again. That doesn't do anything, it's outright insulting…" Another one. "Can you just not?" Another rock. "Ok, you are starting to annoy-" Another rock. "You are playing with fire-" Another one. "STOP THROWING ROCKS AT ME!" Stabite roared in anger. Then he felt something else drop onto his shoulder. But it wasn't a rock. It was white, liquid and smelly. Then he saw an eagle fly by, letting out a weird cry as if it was laughing. "Oh, and that's just disgusting."

Despite the gravity of the situation, the four Beastmen couldn't help but laugh. "I appreciate the joke, human, but now you ticked him off. You better run." Sela said.

"I won't. I promised myself, as a friend to all living things, that I would not ignore anyone in need, beast or human. And I have no idea whom or what you are, but you are in need of help. I am Skyler Hawkins, zoologist, and…I wish I had something badass to say to follow that up."

"Again, no brains, but gutsy." Tusk said.

"Yes, real adorable. But I'll just go about grinding you into a paste and taking those Quartz, thanks. And I'll also fry up that overgrown turkey of yours to boot." Stabite said.

Skyler rolled up his sleeves. "Come at me." As he took a boxing stance.

"The kid's insane." Tusk said. "Logically I know we can't do this but…Horus didn't believe in numbers, he believed in actions. And like him, I'll go out fighting."

"It's a good way to out to be honest. I knew you for all but five minutes kid, but it's been a honor." Roary said.

"At least I got to see more good people before I go." Amy noted.

"I hope to take a bite out of him before I'm turned to sashimi." Sela said.

However, at that point, the cubical minerals glowed. For each one, a different emblem glowed. Green, Blue, White, Yellow and Red. They flew into their hands, including Skyler's. Skyler's glowed red, Tusk's green, Sela's blue, Roary's yellow and Amy's white.

"The Primal Quartz…Chooses us?" Tusk asked.

"It chooses Skyler? A non-Beastman is worthy? Nothing against humans but that's unheard of until now." Sela wondered.

"Because it hasn't been done before, doesn't mean it isn't possible." Skyler said. "That's what my dad used to say…wait, what is unheard of?"

"They say that if the Primal Quartz chooses someone…" Amy said as the glow died down and now the Quartz were five cube-shaped Morphers. "They create Power Rangers."

"That's pretty rad." Skyler noted.

"I know right?" Roary said excitedly.

"Oh, it looks like a Rubik's cube, I wonder if I turn…" Skyler did as told and he turned a part of the cube. And a sound not unlike a famous Tarzan scream came out. "Oh, it did something." It then folded open. "Oh, it's a phone too!"

The five of them held out their Morphers in front of them. "Instincts Awaken!" though they didn't know why they said that. It just felt…right.

In the morphing sequence, the five of them stood against a background. For Skyler, against a cloudy background, the savanna for Roary, the Ocean for Sela, snowy plains for Amy and the forest for Tusk. Cubes started to spawn and gather around them, creating a crystallized shell around them. They burst out, shattering the crystal shell, in their Ranger suits, and with an aura taking the form of their totem animal.

"Fury of the Skies, Eagle Ranger!" Skyler introduced himself.

"Fury of the Seas, Shark Ranger!" Sela said.

"Fury of the Savannah, Lion Ranger!" Roary said.

"Fury of the Woods, Elephant Ranger!" Tusk said.

"Fury of the Arctic, Tiger Ranger!" Amy said.

"We are Power Rangers…er, what do we call our team?" Skyler asked.

"I dunno…we have Primal Quartz…" Tusk said.

"I'm a bit too furious to think proper because I want to kick Stabite's butt." Roary said.

"That's it! Power Rangers…Primal Fury!" Skyler said.

"That'll do." Sela shrugged.

"I like it." Amy said.

"PRIMAL FURY RANGERS!" the five of them said as colorful explosions went on behind them.

"Prepare to be hunted, cause you're facing the pack!" Skyler said.

Stabite was furious. "Viroids." He summoned footsoldiers whom started to swarm the heroes.

"We haven't introduced ourselves, where are my manners." Tusk said as as he started to punch several Viroids in the face, knocking them into the ground. "I am Tusk." Another Viroid approached him, but he got knocked repeatedly on the head by Tusk until he was buried into the ground.

"I'm Roary!" he said as he charged into a group of Viroids, grabbed them and threw them into the sky. "With 'O-A' like 'Roar'!" he then delivered rapid punches to each Viroid that came falling them down, knocking into the distance.

"Sela!" the shark girl said simply. She punched a Viroid in the stomach, making him collapse. Then she picked him up and used him as a living bludgeon against the other Viroids.

"I'm Amy, nice meeting you." Amy jumped on the shoulders of a Viroid, then swung herself around him to kick several Viroids over before landing gracefully, and sending the Viroid she used as a platform spinning in the air.

"I'm Skyler. Nice meeting you all." Skyler elbowed two Viroids behind him, then their face. He jumped up, kicked off their chests, shot in another group of them, knocking them down.

"I had enough of all of you, I'm going to pulverize you!" Stabite growled.

"Oh no you won't!" Skyler said. The animal emblems on the Rangers chests glowed, more particularly the eyes. "Oh, this is new."

"Inner Beast, now unleashed!" the five of them said instinctively. They grew new ornaments on their suit. Skyler grew wings, Amy and Roary bigger, clawed hands, Tusk big elephant feet, and Sela a shark-like fin on her back.

Skyler shot up in the sky. "Whoo! I can fly. Look, Screech, we are flying buddies now!" the eagle flew beside him and cried out, seemingly delighted.

Stabite stomped the ground and created a line of pointy rocks that came from the ground. However, Tusk stomped the ground with the elephant feet and created a shockwave that obliterated his trail of rocks and knocked Stabite into the sky. Skyler grabbed him and flew him higher. "Put me down, I don't like heights."

"Ok." Skyler let him go.

"Not like thaaaaaaaaaaaat!" Stabite said as he fell down. Sela was swimming through the ground like a shark through water. She jumped out of the ground, then curled up into a ball and became a living buzzsaw and shot towards Stabite. She hit him dead on, hurting him. Amy followed by jumping up and slashed with her claws. He fell down to the ground as he was picked up by Roary, whom roared in his face, and Stabite screamed in fear. Before Roary clawed at him and sent him flying.

"Let's finish him." Skyler aid as they pulled out a cube-themed blaster.

"Primal Buster, ready!" they all said as they took aim.

"What? When are you going to stop pulling out new tricks all the time?" Stabite whined.

"Fire!" they said as they all fired simultaneously, hitting him with the lasers. Stabite sparked and screamed, fell down and exploded.

At the Warrior Dome, the crowd was booing. Cosmo Royale took the stage again. "It seems Stabite does have a bad case of the explosions. Shall we give him another chance?" the crowd cheered. "You heard it! Oh, Malachita?"

"I'm on it." A female monster re-using Naria's suit as she teleported to Earth. She reappeared next to Stabite's lifeless body. "The crowd has approved. Take this Gigantify Coin and don't waste it." She said as she inserted it into his body.

"What is going on?" Skyler asked.

"Our problems are about to get a lot bigger." Tusk explained.

Stabite got back up, and started to grow in size. "That hits the spot! Oh, I see the city from here. It'd be a shame if something happened to it."

"Now what do we do?" Roary asked. However, their morphers started to glow again. "Oh?"

"Ah, new Rangers, new Zords. Makes sense." Tusk said.

"Let's see what we'll be getting." Sela said.

The five of them opened their Primal Morphers and pressed their buttons. And suddenly five colorful cubes appeared out of thin air and started to grow giant-sized. They jumped inside and put their Morphers into the cube-shaped control pannel. Once they did and called out their names, the Cubes unfolded and assumed their true form.

"Primal Eagle Zord, ready!"

"Primal Shark Zord, ready!"

"Primal Lion Zord, ready!"

"Primal Elephant Zord, ready!"

"Primal Tiger Zord, ready!"

The five Zords roared like their totem animal and charged in. Stabite fired energy blasts at them, but they charged through without stopping.

Cosmo Royale saw this happen from the Warrior Dome. "What do you say we give Stabite some additional help?" the crowd cheered. "The crowd has spoken, unleash…the Tetra Fighters!" A bunch of triangular airships were launched from the dome.

Several of them went after the Eagle zord, firing lasers, but the Eagle Zord was superior in the air, dodging all attacks and shooting them down with his own lasers. "I took these airships down but their blasts set the forest is on fire, the animals…" Skyler said.

"Allow me!" Tusk said as the Elephant sword sprayed freezing mist from his trunk to douse the flames.

Stabite came up behind him for a sneak attack, but the shark and tiger Zords slammed into him. "Oh no, you won't!" Sela said.

"Lion Roaring Blast!" Roary shouted as the Lion Zord fired lasers from his mouth at the airship.

"Bon appetit, Shark Zord." Sela said as her Zord chowed down on the Tetra Fighters.

"Let's show us tigers have claws!" Amy said, her Tigerzord firing crescent waves from the claw weapons on its back at the Tetra Fighters.

Stabite meanwhile was fired at by the Eagle Zord. He tried to return fire, but the Eagle Zord curled up in cube mode and slammed into him, knocking the monster back. "I love these Zords. Is there something else they can do?" Skyler asked. Then suddenly, the Morphers glowed again. "Oh?"

"Oh what else are you going to pull out of your butts?" Stabite complained.

"Looks like a Megazord formation." Sela said.

"I want to try it!" Roary said.

They pushed the buttons on their Morphers. Three flaming squares appeared in the air, which the Eagle, Lion and Shark Zords flew through. The Elephant and Tiger tried to follow but they couldn't. "What? Only them?" Amy asked surprised.

"I think we are not part of this particular formation." Tusk deduced.

The Eagle, Shark and Lion Zord folded back into their cube forms. The Lion at the Bottom, then the Shark, and the Eagle on top. A huge steel pole came from the sky and entered the cubes from the top. The top of the pin became the head as arms unfolded from the Eagle Zord to form the upper body. The Shark became the lower body and upper legs, and the lion the lower legs. "Primal Fury Megazord!" the three announced as the Megazord pulled out his sword and readied himself.

"No! No more new powers! Now alternate forms, no more blasters, no more Zords!" Stabite said as he fired at the Megazord, but he weathered the storm and charged at Stabite. He clashed with the blade against Stabite's arm for a bit. Stabite fired, but it again weathered the storm. Then Stabite was slashed across the chest by the Megazord's blade. Then the Elephant and Tiger Zords blasted him with their trunk mist and crescent claw waves respectively.

"Let's finish it!" Skyler said as they turned the upper part of their morphers, put it back into the console. The Megazord moved the sword in a circular motion as images of its components cube forms were seen. It struck with his blade, hitting Stabite dead on.

Stabite screamed as the slash hit him. "No…I was the season's favorite. I cannot get cancelled…" he said before he fell down and exploded.

The Megazord struck a victory pose with the Elephant and Tiger Zords besides it.

"Champion Zircon, Stabite has been destroyed. The Primal Quartz those Beastman stole, they and one human from Earth were able to become Power Rangers." Cosmo Royale said as he reported to his master. Which took the appearance of Ginis from Zyuohger.

"Interesting…" Zircon muttered. "Earth…Of course, the planet that brought forth many Rangers, including the one whom have defeated the likes of the United Alliance of Evil…didn't they destroy your sister, Malachita?"

"They did. Not that it'd be hard. My sister decided to hang out as part of a spoiled brat's dance group then be a proper warrior." Malachita replied.

"Stabite was all talk. I would have grinded them to dust in the first minute." A monster resembling Azald said.

"And of course like anything with Boleas, it is about brute force, with little thinking power. I think the biggest problem was that he underestimated them and didn't think things through." Another monster resembling Quval said.

"You're calling me dumb, Bismuth?" Boleas asked.

"At least you are smart enough to realize when you're being insulted." Bismuth said.

"Ah, that's better…Hey!" Boleas said, briefly calming down before the penny dropped.

"Enough bickering. I think these…Rangers prove themselves interesting." Zircon said.

"Well, despite Stabite's loss, the ratings for today's show were through the roof." Cosmo Royale said.

"And very amusing. New plan, instead of proving themselves to the Quartz that would never pick them, a reward goes to those whom manage to defeat these Rangers. Now that'd be a show I'd watch." Zircon said.

"No doubt one of my warriors. They are the strongest!" Boleas said.

"Oh please, my warriors are the smartest and would run circles around yours." Bismuth said smugly.

"Oh, let's see if your brainy warriors can think when I paint the room with brainmatter." Boleas growled.

"They can't find their butts with both hands on their cheeks, let alone defeat my warriors." Bismuth said.

"Cut it out!" Zircon said. "It's like I'm babysitting you two…" he sighed as he rubbed his temple. "Cosmo, just announce the new season, and make it one to remember.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"An intergalactic game show where people are being killed and planets destroyed? What kind of sick freak would watch that?" Skyler said as he was brought up to speed by his new friends.

"Sadly, more then you think. And they destroyed our worlds. Fugitives got off the planet, but a lot of lives were still lost…and the less lucky ones were either cheap labor or cannonfodder for the Players." Sela said.

"Also stole these, Planet Zooran's most priced treasures. With help of our friend Horus we managed to steal them and get away but…" Amy said as she held out the Morpher, but she looked sad.

"He didn't make it, didn't he?" Skyler asked.

"We don't know that!" Roary snapped. "He could have escaped, survived…"

"Part of me wants to believe that, but the logical part of my brain…He was outnumbered, tired, had no Quartz and an injured wing, he couldn't have escaped. And Stabite had his sword…" Tusk said.

"Sorry to hear, he sounded like a great guy." Skyler aid.

"He was…but we are going to take down Galaxy Warriors, we are going to recover the treasures of our people and we will keep Horus' memory alive." Sela said, looking intense.

"And I'll help you. They came to my planet and decided to threaten everything. I hate bullies like that. Now, do you guys have a place to stay? If not, I got an apartment in New Tech City." Skyler said.

"Thanks. That would help a bit." Roary said.

"No worries, we are friends now right? Or at least friendly teammates." Skyler said.

"I guess." Sela shrugged.

"You got grub? We haven't eaten ever since our escape…" Amy rubbed her stomach.

"I've went shopping so my fridge is stocked." Skyler said.

"I love you." Amy said. Sela looked at her indignantly. "Oh come one, I don't mean it like that, you're the only one for me."

"That and you should know how Amy thinks with her stomach sometimes." Roary said. He still had a sad look in his eyes but he smiled a bit.

"And we all know kitties like fish." Amy sad as she rubbed her head against Sela like an affectionate housecat, as Sela huffed and blushed, and the rest of them laughed at this.

It had been a trial, but for the Beastman things may looking up again, now they have the power to face the evils that imprisoned them before. And with their new human ally, perhaps they could do it. At least they had a place to stay and an ally, and for them that was already a lot. Things were looking a little brighter at least.

NOTES

Next is Zyuohger. Sure, only two monster suits were used, but a small connection is still a connection.

The Galaxy Warriors concept was better lent to a Zyuohger adaptation, so it means that a Ninja Steel rewrite is necessary, especially if I still want to make Mick remain relevant. But I'll think of it later.

Cosmo Royale, didn't give him a redesign...let's just say he and Baron Nero both buy their suits at teh same evil villain clothes shop or something.

Zircon was the original planned name for the main villain of Ninja Steel so I used it for Ginis. Azald and Quval are now renamed according to the gemstone they are based on, Bismuth and Boleite.

Jagged becomes Stabite, which is an amalgan of 'stab' and 'stibite' (mineral).

I basically recreated the first fight and first zord battle, only it is not the red ranger whom oneshots the first monster. Made it a team effort.

As for the Zyuohger counterpart...Skyler Hawk-ins should be obvious.

Since we already have a Leo, Roary, like Roar and Rory sounded good to me. And Amu just one letter change.

Yes, Amy and Sela together, thanks to some nice yuri fanart of the two I found on Deviantart...though I can no longer find those sadly.

Anyhow, only Lupinranger vs Patranger left, even if only through some background monster suits.
