Title: The Howl of Chaos
Rated: PG13 /Teens and up
In the bustling suburbs of Nagoya, Japan, the sky was as white as snow, adorned by wavy pine trees. Unbeknownst to the citizens, a dark shadow loomed over the city as Ashura, the evil supergenius, devised a cruel plan alongside his ruthless team known as Volt. Their latest weapon? A grotesque creature known as Howler Brain—a massive howler monkey monster designed to unleash havoc.
"It's time to test our new primate from Satan himself, Howler Brain" Ashura cackled. "This creature has the DNA of now-fallen Baboon Brain, spliced with the genes of a male howler monkey from the Amazon rainforest."
"And it's chromosome deletion powers have been upgraded too!" Dr. Omura replied. "With one swift bite, Howler Brain can transform those human worms into useful, simple-minded apeman slaves, by deleting a fraction of their chromosomes containing uniquely human DNA. The pitiful human race shall be destroyed once and for all by apemen!"
"Howler monkey apemen, to be precise," Dr. Obular replied. "Each apeman shall howl so loudly that it'll hurt the ears of those Liveman worms! And it'll destroy the vehicles and residences of those pitiful human parasites, forcing them to live in the jungles and forests of every continent..."
"Excellent plan, Omura and Ashura!" Professor Bias replied. "Humans are the scum of the earth, lower than sewage and slime mold combined! We should also abduct Megumi and strap her to our Mind-Reading bed!"
"Rodger!" Everyone in the room replied.
"Now," Ashura spoke, "It's the perfect time to unleash hell onto Nagoya through Howler Brain! Those Liveman Rangers won't stand a chance against the monkey from hell!" He pressed several buttons, ensuring that Howler Brain ended up on his target destination. "Howler Brain, dispatch!"
The monstrous beast landed in the heart of Nagoya, a crack echoing through the air as it hit the ground. The earth shook in response, catching the attention of the passersbys. Before anyone could react, Howler Brain threw back his head and released a blood-curdling howl, the sound reverberating through the city.
"OOOOOO OOOOO OOOOO!!!" Howler Brain screamed, banging his chest.
Cars drove into each other, crashing and exploding alongside their shattered windows. Windows shattered everywhere imaginable. Buildings exploded, bursting into flames. Swarms of humans screamed in agony and terror, as Howler Brain bit their arms, turning them into howler monkey apemen without intelligible speech or thought.
Nearby, three figures clad in vibrant suits banded together at a motorcycle repair shop. Yusuke, Joe, and Megumi were the elite members of the Liveman Rangers, sworn protectors of Earth against evil. Their communication devices buzzed, as their friendly robot, Koron, detected a Brain Beast's proximity.
"Did you hear that? It sounded like it came from central Nagoya!" exclaimed Yusuke.
"Let's go! We have to defeat whatever ugly bastard Volt created over there! Quickly!" Joe urged, as they all got onto their motorcycles, drifting into the suburbs.
As they rode their motorcycles toward the source of the sound, the streets were filled with hell on earth. The ground trembled as Howler Brain beat his chest like a gorilla, eyes gleaming. With every bang, windows shattered, even more cars collided in panic, and the very air around them crackled with chaos.
Arriving on the scene, the Liveman Rangers quickly assessed the destruction. "Yusuke, Joe, let me get out my Dolphin Arrow!" Megumi shouted. She struck several Arrows into the chest of Howler Brain, but Howler Brain survived each strike, becoming enraged by chest pains from the sharp Arrows lodged in his ribs.
"Oh crap!" Joe replied, as an army of footsoldiers swarmed towards him. He punched and tackled each Volt footsoldier present, but couldn't take down the apemen - the apemen were ordinary humans that needed to return to humanity...
"Eagle Punch!" Yusuke shouted, punching and kicking the monster in the gut, grabbing it by its arms and hurling it at a tower of oil barrels. The monster quickly got up, unharmed. Yusuke and Joe utilized their Eagle and Lion weapons on Howler Brain, but the monster survived each blow.
As they charged toward Howler Brain, the creature turned, a sinister grin spreading across his face. "OOOOOOO!!!" the monster roared, unleashing a torrent of howling that resulted in a wave of dense sound filling the air. Citizens covered their ears, blood pouring from their noses and ears, their screams swallowed by the cacophony.
The Liveman Rangers were somewhat affected by the painfully noisy howls. They grunted and moaned in pain, covering their ears.
"Cover your ears! Focus on taking out Howler Brain!" Yusuke commanded, trying to rally his teammates against the formidable beast.
"GUYS, WATCH OUT!" Megumi shouted, pointing at the Monster's opening mouth. It was headed straight towards Yusuke's arm.
Yusuke went for a punch, but Howler Brain's fangs sunk into his shoulder, causing his vision to blur.
"AGH! AGH!!!" Yusuke grunted in pain. He fell down, rolling onto the ground in agony.
"YUSUKE!" Joe shouted.
The bite spread a sick, viral warmth through his veins—a sensation of nausea, as if he were being torn apart from the inside. He developed a fever and swollen tonsils, as his immune system kicked into high gear to destroy the apeman virus.
"Damn you, Howler Brain!" Joe yelled, desperately trying to reach his friend but getting swept aside by Howler Brain's powerful arms. In a matter of moments, both Joe and Megumi were bitten, feeling the overwhelming urge to vomit as their bodies fought against the vile "Monkey Virus." Thankfully, they didn't get their chromosomes deleted or turn into howler monkey apemen like the ordinary humans did. They de-transformed back into their human appearances, coughing and vomiting as if having an asthma-reflux attack.
"Joe, Joe..." Yusuke struggled to breathe, coughing, his esophagus burning from acidic vomit. "God is protecting our DNA through our sickness, so we don't turn into apemen!"
"Look at everyone else though," Megumi replied, clearing her mucus-filled throat. Around her, ordinary humans and children were transforming into howler monkey apemen, wreaking havoc upon the small businesses and every establishment imaginable. The three Rangers struggled to lift themselves off the concrete, but persisted.
Megumi, however, fought valiantly against the nausea, holding it inside her stomach, even as Howler Brain zeroed in on her. With a swift kick, she sent the creature staggering back, granting a moment's respite. The monster ran off to be with its new apemen comrades, leaving behind the Liveman Rangers in a flurry of sickness and vertigo.
"Enough of this bullcrap from you!" Ashura declared, stepping forward, his eyes glinting with malice. "Zolders, get us the girl!" he commanded, gesturing toward Megumi. Before she could react, henchmen from Volt swooped in to kidnap Megumi.
"Joe! Yusuke!" Megumi cried out desperately as she was ushered into a dark portal, vanishing from sight. The Volt members made themselves suddenly disappear into thin air, leaving behind Yusuke and Joe.
