AN: We waited long enough…now the Zords get in the act…and a hint of what’s to come…soon.

P.S.: Forgive me for not being good at Megazord battle scenes, but think of your standard Megazord battle and you’ll be fine.

‘It’s been four days and no sight of her or that Cole,’ Rick thought as he was driving through town.

He spent days trying to find out where Alyssa is living now, but without any luck. “Where in the world is she?” he said as he stopped at a stop light.

Then he saw Ebony walking down the street with her backpack.

Rick came up with an idea as he quickly made a turn into a side street and parked the car. He then got out of the car and started to follow her down the street, quickly catching up without her knowing it.

Without warning, Rick saw someone on a bike coming towards Ebony. He hid in an alley as the biker stopped near her. The biker took off his helmet…and Rick saw that it was the guy he saw a few weeks ago.

‘I wonder if that power Toxica gave me…will lead me to Alyssa.’ he thought as he made a stone appear in his hand. After breaking a piece off; he threw it towards the bike, sticking to the wheel.

Nether Ebony or the biker notice as he invited her on his bike

“This is going to lead me to Alyssa,” he said as he saw Ebony get on the bike, “and to those who will meet a painful end.”

His eyes glowed red as the bike rode away. Then he headed back to his car…to plan his next part of his plan.

“Thanks Danny…for the ride home from school,” Ebony said as she got off his bike in front of her house.

“Any time,” Danny replied after he took off his helmet, “I just happen to be around.”

“I’ve noticed that,” she said, “I just wonder…why you want to hang around me…someone with a rough life.”

Danny heard the pain in her voice as he got off his bike and held her in his arms.

She tensed up at first, but relaxed when he said in her ear, “I don’t care about what happened in your past, I only care about the here and now. In my eyes, you are a diamond…and worth more than anything I can say.”

Before she knew it, she put her arms around him and said softly, “Thank you Danny.”

Danny smiled at those words, happy that Ebony started to Trust him more to return his hug. He wasn’t sure why, but the heaviness he felt in his Soul lightens when he’s with her…for a time.

After a time, she let go of him as he did the same. “Anyway, how’s Alyssa?” she asked, “She hasn’t called me in days.”

“She’s ok,” he replied, “She had an accident a few nights ago, but she’s recovering now. She didn’t want to worry you…and that’s why she didn’t call.”

“Just like her…always thinking about me,” Ebony said, “Can you give her a hug from me…and one for Cole?”

“I’ll give both of them to Alyssa and she can give one to Cole,” Danny said with a smile, “He might think it’s strange that I have a hug for him.”

She laughed at that, seeing the light in his eyes. “You’re funny,” she replied, “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“I’ll be waiting for you at the school,” he said after he got on his bike, “Until then.”

Ebony waved to him before she walked to the house. She looked back to see him put on his helmet and ride away.

After Ebony entered the house, Tia walked in from the living room and said, “Looks like you have a new friend.”

“He’s ok,” Ebony said as she put down her backpack, “He’s not like the guys at school. He’s…I don’t know, but…different.”

“He’s a lot older than he looks,” Tia replied, “I’ve known him for years and he’s a good friend to me.” When she saw the look on Ebony’s face, Tia added, “Don’t worry hon, I don’t mind if you see him. He’s more caring when he’s with you…and then some. If someday you and Danny become…more, I’ll be here waiting for the wedding invitation.”

“Thank you,” Ebony said as she hugged Tia, “You’re so understanding with me.”

Tia returned the hug before letting her go to her room.

‘It’s amazing how much she has changed over the last three years,’ Tia thought as she walked to the kitchen.

She remembered the shy fourteen old that came into her home. It took Tia time to get to Ebony and help her open up more. Now Ebony is a stronger person and can defend herself to a point…thanks to a self-defense camp she went to the past three summers.

Soon, Ebony will be reaching a major milestone…her eighteen birthday.

“I think I know what to give her for her birthday,” Tia said as she picked up the phone and dial a phone number.

A few rings later, she heard a woman’s voice…she know all too well. “Hi Mildred, this is Tia…Ebony’s foster mother,” Tia said, “Remember what we talked about a few weeks ago…well, I would like to go ahead with it…You have everything all set up? You are a few steps ahead of me. I just wonder if we can made it official before Ebony’s birthday…yea, give her a gift that’ll last a lifetime. I don’t mind if your friend is there when I…finalize everything. Just set the day and time and I’ll be there.”

As Tia listen to the other woman, she knew that Ebony will love the gift she’s creating…and she will fulfill a lifelong dream of her own.

What it is…I’ll save for Ebony’s Story.

It was a moonlit night as Alyssa was on the pouch enjoying the night.

“Hey Alyssa,” Taylor said as she joined her, “Enjoying the night?”

“Yea,” she replied as she looked at Taylor, “Everything seems so…different now. If this normal?”

“It’s normal, “Taylor replied, “The body also changes to be able to handle the Wild Hunter Powers and enhance all the Senses.”

“Make sense,” Alyssa said with a smile, “No wonder the sex is getting better.”

Taylor rolled her eyes before saying, “I believe Cole’s attitude is rubbing off on you.”

Alyssa smiled at that…before she felt a pair of evil eyes on her. She looked towards the woods in front of her and didn’t see anything strange, but the feeling was there.

“What is it?” Taylor said, seeing the change in Alyssa’s attitude.

“I think it’s an org…but different,” Alyssa said, “Oh no…where did Danny park his bike?”

Taylor understood the true message as she pointed to the side of the house.

They went down the stair and headed for the bikes. Alyssa looked over Danny’s bike and found a stone on the wheel.

Taylor saw it too and fired a Power Blast at it, melting it from the wheel. “A homing stone,” she said, “Rick is starting to get on my nerves…he must have put that on the bike without Danny knowing about it.”

“This is the last straw,” Alyssa replied as she stood up, “This time; I’m not playing miss nice girl.”

“I’m with you there,” Taylor said, “Let’s go…and give him a big surprise.”

They walked out of sight before disappearing from the area.

They reappeared in the woods and moved quietly towards the person in the bushes.

“Where did they go?” Rick said as he was looking towards the house.

The stone he had planted lead him to the house of the richest woman in town. “I wonder what Miss Ortiz has to do with the Hunters?” he said to himself, “Whatever it is...her faith is the same as the Wild Hunters…a painful death!”

“That might be harder than you think,” a voice said from behind him.

He turns to see Alyssa and a woman there, their Sabers pointed at him. The look he saw on Alyssa’s face told him so much…that made him even more angry. “You’re one of them,” he said darkly, “That’s why you dump me for that Cole.”

“First off, I didn’t dump you. Your attitude did that for you,” Alyssa said, “Plus, I Love Cole with my whole heart. What you tried to do to him proves that I will never be yours.”

“On top of that, you allowed an org to enter your soul,” Taylor said, “Now we’re here to get rid of it.”

“You and what army?” he replied as he stood his ground.

Just then, Cole and the other Hunters quickly appeared behind the girls. Unknown to Rick, Alyssa called the others back and be ready to face a battle.

“Does this answer your question,” Max replied.

Rick’s eyes glowed red as he said in a different voice, “Now you Hunters will see how powerful the orgs are now!”

A dark mist formed around him as the Hunters backed away. *Be ready to morph,* Cole said mentally, *Alyssa, all you have to do is think about you Ranger form and you’ll be able to morph without using your Phone. *

*Right,* she replied, *Guys lets do it! *

In flashes of different color lights, the Hunters were now the Power Rangers…and ready for anything as the mist cleared.

They saw Rick passed out on the ground as an org was in front of them. The org was a cross between a human and a bear, yet ten times more evil. “Now get ready to be destroyed,” the org said before he started his attack.

The Rangers quickly moved and started attacking the org…as Max got Rick out of the area.

During the fight, Cole was proud of Alyssa as she and Taylor team up against the org. Then they moved as the guys got their chance against the monster. Even Max got his kicks in as he gave a double kick at the org.

Even with their fighting skills, the org was still on its feet.

“Its time for the heavy armor,” Merrick said as he made his Lunar Cue Lance appear in his hands.

The others made their weapons appear: Cole’s Red Lion Fang, Taylor’s Golden Eagle Sword, Max’s Blue Shark Fighting Fins, Alyssa’s White Tiger Baton and Danny’s Black Bison Axe.

Weapons in hand; each Ranger attacked the org, causing it to back away.

Then Cole and Alyssa sent a Blast at the same time. “Lion Fangs!” Cole said as she said, “Tiger Strike!” sparks were flying as the two Blasts hit the org in the chest.

“Guys, lets hit the org together,” Cole said to Max, Danny, Taylor and Alyssa.

“Lets do it,” Max replied.

Just as the org was going to escape, Merrick pointed his Lance at the org saying, “Lunar Freeze!” A Blast fired from his Lance and surrounded the org, preventing it from moving.

Meanwhile, the other Rangers combined their weapons to form a new weapon: the Jungle Sword. With Cole in the middle, the Rangers stood behind him. “Alyssa, you want to do the honors?” he said.

“Right,” she said, knowing what to do, “Jungle Sword…Savage Slash!”

The Sword was Powered up before Cole swing it up and down, sending the Blast at the org. The Blast hit the trapped org, turning it into a pile of goop under a minute.

The Weapons separated and return to its owners as the Rangers cheered their joint effected.

Just then they heard a female voice say in a strange language. Then the fallen org appeared…only in a 30-story version.

“What in the world…” Danny said as they moved quickly out of the org’s way.

When Alyssa looked up, she saw the org heading towards town.

Cole saw it too as he said, “Guys, we have to stop that org.”

“But how?” Merrick asked.

Just then they heard their Wild Animals calling for them.

“The Wild Animals,” Cole said, “They want to help defeat the org by fighting it.”

“And they want us to join them,” Alyssa added, hearing the plan through her Wild Animal.

“You guys go ahead,” Merrick said, “I’ll go to find the source of the voice.”

“Right,” the others said as they pulled out their Crystal Sabers.

After Merrick left, they raised their Sabers to the sky, saying “Wild Zords…Arise!”

They heard a Melody from the Sabers before they saw their Wild Animals running, flying or swimming towards them.

Then the Rangers were surrounded in a Light before they disappeared.

The Wild Animals quickly formed the giant robot know as the Megazord.

Inside, a command core was formed before the Rangers appeared in it.

Alyssa notice a glowing panel from one of the five conceals as she walked towards it. By instinct, she pulled out her Saber and placed it on the conceal. The conceal glowed brighter as she heard the roar of her Tiger.

“Guys, the Saber also control the Wild Animals,” she said.

The others went to their conceal and placed their Sabers on them.

The Wild Force Megazord was now ready to fight on a big scale.

The org turned to see the Megazord walking towards him. He growled before heading towards the Zord.

As if it was second nature, the Rangers control the Megazord to counteract the org’s moves.

“Shark Serge!” Max said as Alyssa added, “Tiger Fury!”

The two Blasts kept hitting the org until it fell back to the ground.

“YES!” Max said.

“Now let’s end this,” Cole said, “Ready?”

The conceals glowed in replied before they said in unison, “Wild Force Mega Roar!”

The five Animals released their Powers in one Beam of Power…to aim it at the org. The org didn’t stand a chance to do anything before being hit hard…and destroyed in a Blast of fire.

The Rangers were surprised at what they did…and how the Blast was not burning the plants and trees of the Forest.

Once the fire was out, Cole took off his helmet and closed his eyes. The others took of their helmets and looked on as Alyssa stood next to him.

“Cole,” she said softly, “What’s wrong?”

He opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile on his face. “Red Lion was talking to me,” he said, “The Wild Animals are happy to be fighting together with us…and defeated an org as a team.” He then held her face in is hands and kissed her before adding, “None of this would have been possible…without you, My Love.”

“He’s right,” Taylor said, “It takes five Hunters to form the Megazord and use its Powers.”

“We’re great when we combined our Powers,” Max added.

“As well as a Hunter,” replied Danny.

“Thank you for that,” Alyssa said with a smile, “And…for everything…including my Lifemate.”

*Hey, Rangers,* they heard Celine say, *All of you better get to the house quick. I have a surprise to show you…as well as news about Rick. *

The Rangers exchange looks before they disappeared from inside the Megazord.
