Chapter 6
Unleash the Beast
Night had fallen over Kuoh and many denizens were fast asleep except for two people for in the Old School Building Akeno and Rias were discussing the appearances of these Rangers.
"So, as of now we have confirmed there are three Rangers in our territory" Akeno said laying down three pictures of the three Rangers
Rias couldn't help but look over each picture of the rangers with a quizzically gaze, though her gaze lingered on Ninja Steel Red for some time but she shook herself of it.
"Yes and seems they all have different ability's characterized by their themes" Rias said shifting her gaze to RPM, "This one seems the most technologically advanced and seems to favor close range combat to some extent" she said
She then shifted her gaze to Dino Charge Red.
"And even though we didn't get to see much of this one, he defiantly holds a power that is extremely ancient" she said until looking at the picture of Ninja Steel Red, "and Ninja-sama…I mean Ninja Steel seems to possess an affinity for magic" she said
Rias then picked up the three pictures, looking over each carefully all while Akeno gave her king a quizzical look.
"Rias, what are you thinking?" Akeno asked
Rias then put down the pictures while giving her queen a small smile, the kind she gets when she has an idea coming to her mind.
"I think I've found some new peerage members to recruit."
(*****)
On the streets of Kuoh, streaking down the night streets was a red motorcycle and on it was a young man wearing a red helmet with a painted picture of a black cheetah on the side of it. If you haven't guessed already this is Casey and the young boy was taking a nightly drive through town to help relax his self…or at least trying to.
"I'm the last one to make his debut…you'd think this would be easier" Casey said to himself
It was true, Casey was the last of the secret Rangers to be revealed and if he was being honest he was bit nervous. After all after he has he's debut, Rias will know about the four rangers that live in her territory and after that there's no telling what will happen next or how Rias will react.
"I just hope all the good we have done is helped us be on her good side" Casey said
He then saw a red light up ahead causing him to come to a stop at the intersection and patiently waited for the light to change. But as he waited he then noticed a familiar pervert roll down the hill which caused some curiosity to well up from Casey.
"Issei? What's he doing this late at night?" Casey said
Just then the light turned green and wanting to satisfy his curiosity he then turned in the same direction that Issei went. Heading down the road he then saw said devil heading to a very familiar house, one that sent a shiver down his spine.
"I know this house and it is not a pretty sight inside" Casey said
Casey knew his time would have been soon but he didn't think it would be this soon…but he knew he needs to do this. For there was man in there, no sorry not man a monster, that was calling himself a priest, saying he was doing God's work…he makes Casey sick because of it. So with that thought on his mind he then parked his motorcycle near the house where he then dismounted and made his way to the house.
"Good luck Casey" a voice said behind him
(****)
Inside the house, Issei was walking through the dark home hoping to try and find the person who summoned him.
"Hello anyone in here?" Issei called out
He then noticed one of the rooms with a slight glow which immediately caught Issei's attention. Walking in he found it was the living room that was illuminated by candle light.
"Well at least they set the mood" Issei joked, hoping ease the tenseness he was feeling
But as he took one step into the room he's foot then touched something wet causing him jump in surprise. He then ran his finger along the floor to see what the liquid was and once he saw the crimson color he knew what is was…blood. He then noticed that the blood was trailing from the center of the room leading to… a pile of dead bodies.
"Oh my, gosh!" Issei shouted, clamping his hand over his mouth to keep from puking his guts out
"Punish the wicked…wise words to live by, especially from a holy man" a voice said
Turning to it, Issei saw a man sitting on a couch, just right beside the pile of corpses. The man then leaned his head back, revealing a crazed look and his tongue hanging out.
"And it looks like I'm going to have to punish another sinner tonight!" the man said as he rose from the couch
"Did…did you do this?!" Issei said pointing to the pile of corpses
"Yes indeed, it is my job to punish those who are wicked and who resign themselves to evil" the man said as he glanced at the pile, smiling wickedly at it, "End of the line sinner!" the man shouted with glee
'This guy is nuts!' Issei thought seeing the strange man actually happy for what he did
"Of course where are my manners, Freed Sellzen at your services and you must be the scared little devil that this priest is going to exorcise!" the now named Freed said with glee which shocked Issei
"A priest?!" Issei shouted in fear, remembering Rias advice which is to avoid priests
"That's right, I work for a certain devil purging organization and your next to be purged you little devil!" Freed said as pulled out two objects from his coat.
In his right hand was a white and gold colored gun and in his left was a strange white handle that you find on a sword but no blade, but it then extended out and created a blade made of light which caused Issei to stiffen up in fear.
"That's…a sword of Light!" Issei said backing away from the crazed priest
"That's right; first I'll cut out your wicked heart with my heavenly sword and then shoot you in your little devil face with my holy gun…DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE FUN!" Freed shouted and charged at Issei
The Priest then tried to slash at Issei with his sword but the young devil jumped over him in time to avoid the strike, but before his feet could reach the floor, Freed then turned around and fired a round from his gun which caused a hole to be blowing into Issei's leg making him cry in pain. Issei then fell to the ground as he clutched his injured leg as Freed laughed over him.
"Oh what's wrong is the little devil hurt? ~~" Freed said in a mocking tone which enraged the young devil
He then got up on one knee and activated his sacred gear, causing a red gauntlet to appear on his hand which only caused Freed to laugh hysterically at this.
"Ah are you angry?~~ Maybe I should cut you up right now!" Freed said with evil smile
Issei then jumped at Freed to knock his lights out but the "priest" dodged the attack and slashed at his back, causing Issei to scream in pain and fall to the ground.
"Well I'd say this has been fun but now it's time for this devil to be chopped up into pieces!" Freed shouted with glee as he raised his blade, only to stop when a girl screamed in fear.
Both Issei and Freed then looked at who screamed and were greeted by the sight of the nun Asia, causing Issei's eyes to shrink in shock and fear at seeing the kind woman from this morning with this deranged priest.
"Asia what are you doing here? Did you finish the barrier already?" Freed asked but Asia didn't seem to hear the question as she looked in horror at the massacre before her
"Why…why are you doing this?" Asia chocked out as Freed sighed in annoyance
"Right I forgot your new so let me explain, this is the job Asia we are here to kill devils and the wicked souls that call out to them" Freed said to her making her gasp in fright
Just then Asia then looked out the corner of her eye and saw Issei in his weakened state, leaving her in a more shocked state then before.
"Issei what are you doing here?!" Asia asked, hoping that what she was thinking was wrong
Issei then looked away with guilt in his eyes knowing that there was only one thing to say to her and he didn't want to say it.
"Because Asia…I'm a devil" Issei said in a defeated tone
"No…that can't be" Asia said in disbelief, finding it hard to believe
"Ahem, not to interrupt this cozy reunion but it's time to chop up this little devil into teeny tiny bits!" Freed shouted with glee
But to his surprise, Asia then ran in front of Freed and held her arms out in a protective manner as to shield Issei from the crazed priest.
"Please Father don't hurt this man, I know this man may be a devil but I know that there is good in him please!" Asia pleaded
But her plea fell on deaf ears as Freed then just groaned and rushed forward with his sword raised, ready to cut down the poor Nun.
"Shut your mouth!" he shouted
But before Freed could even swing his blade, suddenly a green and red blur then rushed into the room and knocked the priest across the room until he hit the wall with a thud.
"OW! Who just kicked me?!" Freed shouted in anger, all while Asia and Issei were surprised
Suddenly the same green and red blur rushed into the room, kicking up dust as it entered causing everyone to cover their eyes from the dust.
"Strike at a nun huh? And you call yourself a priest" a voice said, sounding like they were mocking Freed
Once the dust settled and everyone looked at the newcomer, they were all having varying degrees of emotion of their face. Freed looked at the new figure with anger and confusion while Issei and Asia looked on with amazement and surprise. The newcomer in question wore a red outfit, like many others that Issei as seen before only this time it looked different. Instead of the skin tight spandex this new figures attire seemed to be made of biker leather with bits of silver underneath his arms and his sides. He wore black bottoms tucked into red boots and a black belt around his waist. For his helmet it was styled to resemble the face of a cheetah and for his visor, it was red and was styled to be like sunglasses.
"And who are you supposed to be, some sort of punk biker?" Freed asked getting up from the floor
"The names Beast Morpher Red Ranger, resident Power Ranger and currently the one who is going to kick your butt" Beast said
Of course when Beast said who he was, Freed then started to chuckle a little causing the Power Ranger to tense up and get into a defensive stance.
"Oooohhhh, so you're one of these Power Rangers that my associates have been talking about" Freed said in a sort of happy tone, "I was hoping I would run into one of you...SO I CAN SLICE YOU ALL INTO TINY PIECES!"
Without hesitation, Freed jumped at the Ranger with his sword held high but as he brought it down, Beast then dodged out of the way by becoming a blur of green and red. Beast didn't let up as he then sped right at Freed and landed a kick to the deranged priests head sending him rolling across the floor.
"Wow, who didn't see that coming" Beast said sarcastically
Obviously this angered Freed as he then pointed his gun at the Ranger and pulled the trigger but to his surprise Beast dodged the bullet with a simply tilt of his head. Now seething in rage Freed then charged at the Ranger with a shout but Beast then jumped over the deranged priest with a front flip and once he landed he then spun around and kicked him in the back, sending him flying into a wall with a thud.
"Wow, you're a bad priest and a bad fighter, go figure" Beast said, shaking his head in mock disappointment, "Now how about I show you how you really use a sword…Transport, Beast-X Saber!"
The Ranger then pressed his emblem on the left side of his body, causing it flash green, which caused a multitude of green ones and zeros to appear in mid-air as they formed a blue futuristic sword as the Ranger took hold of it.
"Now then…my turn"
Then with a burst of super speed the Ranger then ran at Freed, causing the man to panic and not have enough time to defend himself, leaving him open to a slash to his mid-section causing a slight gash to appear. Now fully fueled by anger Freed then started to slash rapidly at Beast, hoping to get an attack off but due to Beast's super speed he easily dodged Freed's attacks while also dishing out some attacks of his own. It seemed that Freed realized that his sword wasn't working and decided to switch to his gun and started to fire rapid shots at Beast, causing the Ranger to back up and take cover behind the couch as shots rang out and pierced the couch.
"Aw what's the matter Ranger brat, don't want to fight anymore!" Freed mocked still firing shots into the couch.
"Well if it's fire fight you want, then it's you're going to get it" Beast said jumping over couch and slapped the emblem again "Transport, Beast-X Blaster!"
Just like before data appeared in the air and formed a new weapon, it looked like a gun but's front looked more like a camera. Beast then grabbed the blaster and pointed right at Freed but the "priest" just laughed at this.
"Oh how scary, what are going to do with that furry boy take a picture HAHAHAH!" Freed shouted
But the priest was quick to shut up when an energy blast shot him the chest, making him fall to the ground in pain.
"Sorry, I seem to have left it on flash" Beast joked twirling the blaster on his finger
Freed didn't take kindly to it and started to fire multiply shots at the Power Ranger, causing him to jump out of the way while also firing shots of his own. The two combatants had soon started a full on fire fight, firing shots at each other and hoping to land there mark but Freed was a slippery man as he kept dodging in out of cover in the room all while Beast dodged his shots with his super speed.
'This is getting me nowhere I need to end this battle now…and I know just the way to do it' Beast thought
Stopping in his tracks for a quick second, the Power Ranger then stowed away his blade and grabbed hold of the muzzle of his blaster before twisting to like a camera shutter, causing the blaster to charge up with power. He then pointed at Freed's cover and waited for the psycho priest to show himself, taking deep breaths as he did, focusing his attention on what was in front of him. He intently stared at the turned over coffee table…until at last Freed popped out from the other side of the table like a deranged Jack in the box with his gun pointed at me but luckily for our Ranger, he was quicker on the draw.
"Beast-X Blast!"
Then with a pull of the trigger, Beast then unleashed a super concentered bolt of energy at the priest, hitting him square in the chest and causing him to go rocketing off into the wall, or should I say…through the wall and into the hallway. Seeing as he was gone, Beast then rushed over to Issei and Asia, seeing if they were okay after his little brawl.
"Everyone good…well minus from you man" Beast said looking at Issei's hurt leg
"Well minus from my leg, I'm okay" Issei replied, wincing a little in pain
Seeing this Asia then crouched down next to Issei and held her hands over his injured leg which caused a familiar glow of green to appear, which caused the wound to heal and close as if it was never there.
"Thanks Asia, I owe you one" Issei said making said Nun blush
"No worries, it least I could for you Issei" Asia replied flashing him a cute smile
Seeing the small little interaction brought a smile to Beast's face behind his mask, seeing two people who you wouldn't think would get along, helping each other in their time of need. It filled him with such joy knowing there are people who help one another despite what they are or who they are.
'There is hope for all, hope for redemption as well' Beast thought
But his happy mood vanished when heard he pained grunts of Freed crawling out of the wall and back into the living room, looking quite pissed at what had transpired. Beast then pointed his blaster at Freed, ready to fire when need be, all while Issei stood in front of Asia to shield her from the corrupt holy man.
"Now I know why those Fallen Angels hate you and your red cladded buddies so much…YOUR BOTH AS ANNOYING AS EVER!" Freed shouted charging recklessly with his blade held high
The Ranger was about to fire at the demented man until suddenly a certain red magical circle appeared behind him and out it came the knight of the Gremory household, Kiba. Kiba and Freed then clashed blades with each other, causing sparks to fly from the metal on metal contact.
'Huh, about time you guys showed up' Beast thought seeing the blond knight
It wasn't long after that the other members of Rias' household, along with the king herself, appeared out the circle.
"Issei are you alright?" Rias asked, checking him for injuries
"I'm fine now Rias and so is Asia, thanks to him" Issei said gesturing to Beast
Looking at the new Ranger, Rias was shocked to see another Ranger before her thus adding another to her list, Akeno just giggled seeing the shocked reaction on Rias face and as for Koneko when she saw the cheetah design helmet that he bore she then nodded in approval.
'Nice' She thought
Rias then got over the surprise at last and quickly switched to a more serious face in order to get down to business in order to deal with the situation she was in.
"So Ranger, are there any more of you we should know about?" Rias asked which Beast shook his head at
"Nope, I'm the last one" Beast replied making Rias sigh in relief
"Good thing, anymore and we would run out of pieces~~" Akeno added
That got Beast's attention as cocked his eyebrow in confusion behind his mask.
'Pieces…what's she talking about?' Beast thought
But those would have to be pushed to the back burner because a certain priest was laugh like a maniac and that is never good. Why he was laughing was because of magic portal appeared above him meaning one thing, Fallen Angels.
"HAHAHA, guess what devil scum I hope you're hungry for light spears!" Freed shouted
Getting tired of his voice, Beast then blasted the "priest" in the chest sending him sprawling out on the ground in an unconscious heap. But that little pleasure was short lived as Beast and the rest looked up to see some dark shapes coming through the portal, a lot of dark shapes.
"We have to leave!" Rias commanded as summoned a magic circle under her household
"Wait what about Asia?!" Issei shouted in fright for his friend
"I'm sorry Issei only members of my household can jump though these circles" Rias explained
Hearing that, Beast then scoped up Asia in his arms, which caught Issei's attention.
"I'll get her out of here, you just get safety!" Beast shouted
Issei then nodded in understanding as he and the rest of Gremory household disappeared, that left only him and Asia to escape and escape they shall. Without missing a beat, Beast then used his super speed to dash out of the house into the driveway with Asia clutched in his arms.
"Why are we stopping?" Asia asked
"Using my speed for too long will burn me out to quickly, but don't worry, I have another idea" Beast said placing the nun on her feet, "Cruise, time to rev up!" Beast shouted into the night
Just then the engine of a motorcycle went off and down the road came a red motorcycle with a cheetah shaped front.
"Right here man, let's roll out!" the bike spoke, flashing it's headlights as it did
Asia was quite surprised by the strange talking motorbike but she didn't have to ask about because Beast then grabbed her and placed her on the back of Cruise while he got in front.
"Hang on tight little lady" Beast said revving up the engine
Beast then looked behind for a quick second and saw some fallen angels taking flight above the house, ready to dive down and catch them but all the Ranger did was smirk behind his helmet.
"Eat my dust you dumb crows!" he shouted as he pulled back on the gas and speed down the highway at extreme speeds, all while Asia screamed like a banshee in the night.
(****)
After a few miles, Beast had brought Asia to a little hotel on the other side of town, a place that was supernatural free and would be safe for her.
"This is a good place to stay for the night" he said as Asia dismounted to bike
At first she was bit off balance, adrenaline wearing off from the extreme ride, but soon righted herself and turned to the two of them.
"Thank you so much for saving me back there, I am so happy to blessed by your nobility" she said which made Beast smile behind his helmet
"Aw shucks miss, it was nothing" Cruise replied which made Asia giggle cutely
"We better get going, stay safe Asia" Beast said before twisting the gas and speeding down the road into the night
Before Asia went inside, she then did a small prayer, thanking the Lord for sending her a friend and protector tonight.
(****)
Down the road from the hotel, once he was far away Beast then pressed a button on his wrist causing his suit to disappear and reveal Casey. Said boy then let out a sigh which did not go unnoticed by his Beast Bot Cruise.
"Hey Casey what's wrong?" he asked
"Nothing much it's that now that Rias knows that all of the Rangers exist…it now comes down to…does she consider us friend or foe" he said as drove off, heading home to tell the others the news.
Now that all four of the Rangers have been revealed and their intentions have been shown, it was time for the next steps of their plan…reveal themselves to Rias herself.
