"I won't let you enter the human world Gomu! You plan to bring destruction to them and I can't allow it!" The Orange Warrior shouted as he clenched his gloved fists, his body heaving heavily as part of his Visor was cracked. "Greywind... you pathetic fool... look at you...beaten and battered... and for what? To protect your fellow humans? They do nothing but create toxicity to everything they touch... especially here on the Primal Plane! I enjoyed slaughtering them all to protect the true way of life! Now the only Beast Master is you... then it's Bye Bye earth!" The ghastly ghoul cackled as he released a wave of dark energy at the Ranger. Greywind rolled out of the way as he held his side. "Hayate... you're wounded... if we don't do something soon... he's going to overpower us. The Sky Ranger heard internally as he huffed staggering to a knee. "I'm aware... what do you suggest Falcon...""Destroy the World Cube..." The spirit suggested. To which the Sky Ranger hesitated before a sword materialized into his hand glowing with bright orange aura. "You're right... better to be trapped in here than allowing him potential access to Earth..."Greywind gripped his sword tightly as he ran towards the giant rubik's cube like construct. Gomu realized what was happening and let out a roar as he sent another wave of energy at Greywind who sliced through it with his Riser Blade, he twirled the sword preparing another slash this time to the cube, Gomu once again fired a Dark blast but misjudged the aim and the slash from Greywind and the blast from Gomu both collided with the cube causing it to shatter and explode! The Force blew Gomu back as a portal ripped through the air sucking Greywind through it! The portal dissipated and the World Cube was no more. Gomu sat up and let out a Guttural roar as he looked around at the empty land rage building in his heart as he began pondering his next move. The Dark Beast then noticed a bit of a glimmer in the grass. He picked it up and began to chuckle to himself as he held up a piece of the World Cube. 1 Year Later "Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome to L.A Wilde Zoo!" A man in a business suit spoke to a large sea of people from his podium in front of the very Zoo he had announced. "As you all know for years I have been pushing for a new Zoo in Los Angeles and have invested a lot of money and time into building this place. We strive to bring you all exotic animals with state of the art technology that allows a simulation yet realistic approach of helping the animals feel as if they are in their natural habitats. For example the Giraffe Exhibit provides them all with genetically altered trees with safe and organic leaves for them to feast on. The sea creatures have vast areas where they can swim and not feel closed in. A lot of thought has been put into this all and I can't wait for you and your families to enjoy today! As previously said in the flyer Today is free admission so please take it in, take pictures, and tell everyone you know! All guests today leave with a goodie bag as well. Welcome!" Gregory Wilde smiled as his assistant tugged his sleeve when he stepped down from the podium. "Yes Mary?" "Um Mr. Wilde I just wanted to say again how happy I am to be here and working with you! I know how prestigious the Wilde name is and the advancements in technology are jaw dropping! And anything you need I absolutely will do!" The young woman was practically beaming. Wilde put his hand on her shoulder which made her eyes light up immensely as her idol was touching her. "As a matter of fact Ms. Sue... I have a big task for you now." Gregory said with a smile. "Anything sir!" "I need the Baboon area cleaned... seems they had quite a protein diet this morning. There is a shovel and hose in the Enclosure" Gregory said as he moved along. Mary sat there with a sort of reservation and sigh as she headed off for poo duty. Hakim watched from the trees in the Elephant Enclosure as Mary made her way to the Baboons. "Ha! She has to pick up shit. I don't envy that at all." The you f man said as he swung back and forth, attached to him was a giant green Elephant Spirit coming out of his back using its trunk to hold Hakim up. Even if regular people could see his spirit, which they couldn't, they still would have a hard time seeing Hakim deep in the trees. "Is a job not a job? It is admirable that she is willing to clean after the animals. She seems starstruck by that human. Who is he?" The Spirit asked as they rocked back and forth. "Him? Gregory Wilde? His family are all millionaires or something like that. Hi-tech gadgets and whatnot. Guess bro had a passion for animals or somethin' and made a zoo. Pretty good stuff honestly. Is it accurate to where you come from Phant?" Hakim asked as he hung upside down. "Nothing here on Earth is the same on the Primal Plane..."Hakim scratched his head. "How many other Primal Beasts here on Earth?" "I'm not sure honestly... some of us left at different times through the World Cube... there could be dozens... however many refuse to partner with humans... though if any were around you'd be able to see the ones not connected to a human...""Huh... interesting... and for the ones attached to humans?" "You wouldn't see them unless they were emitting like how you are doing with me... there could be many around us for all we know... but Hakim... shouldn't we get going, it's the grand opening and people will be coming to see the animals. You could be discovered.""Pfft... I've been here for like 2 months now... ain't nobody gonna find me here... though I am running low on apples..." Hakim pouted a bit as the sounds of people coming in got louder.

Drawing her hoodie around herself and keeping her hands tucked into the pocket, Samara Shepard huffed as she looked at the zoo opening up, dozens of people pouring in. She felt the burns on her arms under the sleeves of the hoodie and she rubbed her arms softly, hissing in pain and grumbling.
"Oh, lighten up. Can we go in!? PLease! I want to see what's inside!" said her Tiger spirit, trying to tug the young woman along.
"Stop it, Tigress," Samara hissed. "No, we can't. I'm not doing crowds anymore. Not after what happened to my dad. He used to love shit like this, but I want to stay far away." She felt Tigress trying to drag her into the zoo, and she growled in anger. "Fine. Only an hour."
"WOOO!!! Yeah, baby! This gonna be fun!"
Samara shook her head, following the crowd and paying to get in when it was her turn. She pulled her hood up, the sun irritating a small burn on her cheek, and she disappeared into the zoo, wanting to get in and out fast, if only just to shut her annoying ghostly friend up.

Kenjuro "Kenn" Shishizuka was leaning against the wall as the grand opening of the L.A. Wilde Zooo and he just snarled in utter detest. Lighting up a cigarette, Kenn puffed out a cloud of smoke as he watched the people enjoy their day at the zoo. He really didn't want to be there, but the woman, Melinda Grey, who raised him since his father's passing talked him in going and start "socializing with others" which was not in his nature.
"Kenjuro, you shouldn't be standing here while other people are going to enjoy the zoo. Ms. Grey told you that you need to start socializing with other people," his Lion spirit exclaimed, his low James Earl Jones-like voice ran through his ears. Kenn just scoffed.
"Why would I go somewhere that's freaking pointless, Leo? I rather suffer in jail than be at a place that smells like cow shit," Kenn growled and he heard Leo sigh.
"You promised her that you would make some friends. You're 25 years old and here you are acting like you're 17," Leo continued on. "At least try to see what's inside of the zoo."
"Piss off, will ya? I'm not going to that stupid zoo and that's that," Kenn spoke as he continued to smoke. "Dumb bitch. Who gives her the right to tell me what I should do?"

Alex Clement was amongst the people walking into the zoo during its grand opening. He looked around, admiring all of the vibrant, spacious lands for the animals to roam and be free. He rubbed his hands together, eager to see what else this zoo had in store before he dipped his hands into the pockets of his cargo shorts. He looked up and saw a large mountain and after briefly wondering how they managed to get an entire mountain in the zoo, his eyes lit up with thoughts of a crazy jump off of that cliff, a thought that was quickly interrupted by his spirit partner in crime.
"Alex......" The eagle spirit's voice trailed off. His tone was slightly parental in nature.
"What!? I'm just thinking how sweet of a jump that would be." Alex shrugged his shoulders, briefly forgetting how weird he looked, since nobody outside of another Primal Beast user could see or hear the eagle spirit.
"Yes, a sweet jump that may land you in the hospital. I'm sure that there is plenty you can do with your feet planted on the ground."
"Says the guy that can fly." Alex shot back. "Don't worry, Wingsy. I won't jump that mountain." Alex started, leading to a sigh of relief from his eagle friend that he affectionately named Wingsy.
"Very good. Perhaps you are..."
"Yet." Alex smirked, causing his winged friend to shout.
"ALEXANDER!" Wingsy shouted, causing Alex to laugh.

While Wilde was doing his whole big opening speech Sarah was busy busy in the meatlocker, making a tally of their stock for the next order. "I don't see why I have to come along with you when I could be swimming with the sharks." Since they were alone she saw no reason not to respond to the Shark spirit.
"I've told you that is too risky, someone might notice the way water moves around you. Besides you know how lucky I am to to have gotten this job." Still she was relieved when she finished and could leave the freezer.
Back in the main area Sarah was just in time to see Mary grab what a bunch of supplies needed to clean cages and was more than a little relieved her schedule was too full to help with that despite knowing full well she would have to clean up several cages before the day was done. "Well, at least you're better of than her.
Sarah quickly made her way to her next task while Swimmer lazily floated behind her, moving a lot slower than his partner. As a result she arrived at the "toy shack before him. After grabbing a bunch of random toys she began making her way around the zoo.

Hakim sat in the trees munching on his last apple in thought of what his day today would consist of. He knew he had to be extra Careful due to the Zoo being occupied with more people than the regular employees. Hakim swung back and forth using Phant's trunk gaining momentum as he swung up and leaped onto the opening of a vent. He crawled through it and began to make his way to the storage room. This was his normal way of traveling through the zoo undetected as he crawled through the Vent, Phant made a 'hmm' sound as Hakim raised an eyebrow. "What are you hmm-ing about now?" "It seems one of my own kind is here... and he's attached himself to a human."Hakim's eyes widened as he looked down through the vent holes and saw a young woman making her rounds and a large Shark Spirit swimming in the air behind her. "Whoah... I've never seen another person like me before... that... it's not gonna eat us or anything like that?" "No... we do not function like the animals on earth. We have no need to eat one another, most Beasts don't even have conflict with one another... there are the occasional tests of strength and bouts but nothing extreme. I believe I know this particular Shark Spirit... even if he were threat... this guy is a bit on the lazy side... you can tell by the way he is hanging back... he seems bored if anything."Hakim nodded watching the woman go about her business as he kept note seeing that she worked here. Hakim reached the top of the storage room and slid the gate back. Phant's Astral body poured out of Hakim's back as he used his trunk to hold onto an edge of the opening allowing Hakim to jump down as he went straight for the refrigerator. Terror rose in his heart when the door swung open and a man wearing a mechanics uniform. Hakim let out a little squeal. "Hakim..." the man crossed his arms and shook his head leaning against the door frame. "Heeeey Izekial...: Hakim said sheepishly.

Kenn had been standing at the entrance for a while and he's wasn't even thinking about entering the zoo and most of the visitors who were entering and exiting saw him and their parents kept them close.
"Kenjuro," Leo said. "You can't keep doing this forever. What will Mr. Wilde think if he saw you put here or even Ms. Gray?" he asked.
"You're still at it again? Jesus, Leo. You're really a fucking pain in the ass," Kenn growled at the Lion Spirit in annoyance. "I told you I am not going. I don't care what that bitch says. And as for that Wilde guy, he really needs to find a new hobby other than play Steve Irwin, no wonder the guy doesn't have a wife," Kenn jabbed at Leo.
"Kenjuro, you really are stubborn."
"And you're annoying as fuck!"

Samara sighed as she wove her way through the zoo, ending up at the back of a crowd near the tiger cages. She looked at the big cats, shaking her head softly.
"What's got your bra strap twisted, girly?" Tigress asked.
"I don't want to be here," Samara said softly, turning away from the cage before she moved down the path, moving against the crowd with mumbled apologies. The young woman was forced to stop as Tigress did, the spirit's head on a swivel as she looked around. "Ow, damn it! WHat is your problem, you annoying fur coat!?" She trudged on, trying to ignore the tiger whimpering in her ear. "Shut up."
"Hey, wait! I can sense someone nearby! Someone like you!" Tigress sad, her head popping up and scanning around the crowds, trying to find the other spirit she could sense. "I see him! I recognize him too. One of the bird Spirits. Sheesh, I remember him."
"Good. THen go bother him instead of me, you walking throwrug!"

After Wingsy finally convinced Alex to move away from the exhibit that was fueling his urge for another death defying jump, the duo moved towards the tiger cages. Alex was smack dab in the middle of the crowd, making him slightly antsy as he was not a fan of being closed in. Just when he found a decent spot to get a good view of the tigers, he felt Wingsy pulling him in the opposite direction.
"Alex, I sense another spirit. And they're close."
"Are you serious?!" Alex began looking around, trying to spot the individual.
Alex, when have I ever made a joke?" The eagle spirit asked in a dry tone, making Alex chuckle unintentionally.
"Good point." Once the spirit pointed his counterpart out, Alex felt a rush as he had never met someone like him before who possessed a beast spirit. Without hesitation, he walked over to the woman with her hood on, weaving through other patrons.
"Hi." Alex greeted the tiger spirit wielder once he was close.

"Oh, my God! Oh my God! Oh my GOD!!!! Tigress cheered, doing her best to happy dance and not get in anyone's way. "He's talking to us! Sam!!!"
Samara rolled her eyes at Tigress. "Hi," she said, turning away. "GOodbye."
"HEY!" Tigress said, forcing Samara to stay in place and turn around. "Talk to him, stupid! We haven't seen another Beast in a long time!!!"
Samara rolled her eyes again, looking at Alex. "I help you with something, slick?"

Alex was a bit taken aback by Samara's cold response to his otherwise harmless greeting. Thankfully for him and for Wingsy, the tiger spirit seemed to be far more welcoming and thanks to her nudging, Samara actually formed a slightly less prickly greeting.
"Uh yeah." Alex said, recomposing himself while getting a chilly vibe from Samara. "My name is Alex. I noticed you from further up in the crowd and I thought I'd introduce myself."
"I believe I noticed the young lady's beast spirit first." Wingsy quickly chimed in. To others, it looked like Alex may be a crazy person, talking to himself but to another who wielded a beast spirit, the conversation looked entirely different.
"I know dude but I'm trying to be chill about it and not be all in the girl's face!" Alex responded before quickly trying to end their spat and turned his attention back to Samara and Tigress. "Sorry about that. My friend can be a bit uptight." Alex said with a smile. "What's your name? Or would it be names?" He asked, acknowledging the presence of the tiger spirit.

"Glad it's just you." Hakim admitted as Izekial shook his head.
"You're predictable bro... and you're LUCKY it's just me dawg. I don't get why you don't just come out and tell Mr. Wilde about your situation. He could help you ya know? Hell he helped my ass with this job." Izekial opened the fridge up and tossed Hakim an apple.
"Man he don't wanna help a guy like me with something like that. And I ain't working no Nine to Five... I'm straight." Hakim said with a bit of bitterness in his tone.
"Hakim..." Phant said softly yet only heard by Hakim anyways.
"He's not like that bro. He's a good guy. I've been in your spot before only difference is you ain't running in the streets like I was. You're a smart kid, just a dumb ass." Izekial chuckled lightly punching Hakim on the arm.
"Why haven't you ratted me out yet?" Hakim asked genuinely.
"Don't have to. The truth always reveals itself in the end. Besides you clean after yourself which helps our Jobs immensely. Look bro... you're gonna have to do something eventually. How much longer do you think you can go without being caught?" Izekial asked with much concern.
"I'll be fine! But thanks for not snitching..." Hakim said fist bumping Izekial.
"You don't have many friends Hakim... I'm glad you've made one."
Hakim smiled despite wanting to tell Phant to shut up.
"Alright man well it's grand opening. No need to hide at least try to look like you're here for the exhibit. Later tonight we'll grab some burgers my treat when I get off cool?" Izekial asked.
"Yeah... Yeah sounds good... alright I'm going to go see the animals and shit... catch ya later." Hakim took a big bite of the apple as he made his way out. As Hakim walked Phant made another Hmm sound.
"Whaaat?"
"More Beast Spirits...including the one I left the Primal Plane with."
"What really?" Hakim looked around and saw two people speaking with each other.
"Yes the Tiger... An energetic one... The Eagle... I know of him... how peculiar though. What are the odds we have come across Three Spirits and their humans..."
"I dunno but maybe we should stay away we don't know them or their intentions..." Hakim stated.
"Well would you look at that... actually using your head a bit. We should still keep an eye on them. Perhaps from a distance."

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes and stomp off, Samara shrugged. "Samara. And the stripped annoyance attached to my ass is Tigress. No matter how hard I push her away and tell her to shove off, she refuses," she said, folding her arms and wincing as she hit her burns.
"Aww...I didn't know you hated me that much. Sam..." Tigress pouted, hanging her head in shame and huffing softly. "I'm sorry..."
"Should be," Samara said, her resistance breaking as she rolled her eyes at her unwanted partner. "What about you? Some stupid animal thing clinging to your guts like a bad box of chocolate?"
Tigress's head snapped up, looking around. "Chocolate!? WHere?!" Samara just facepalmed, groaning at her partner and her lack of focus.

As Kenn finished with his cigarette, he lit up another right before a security guard noticed him and approached him. "Oh no, the security guard," Leo exclaimed but Kenn didn't budge.
"Excuse me, sir. You shouldn't be loitering at the zoo entrance, nor smoking here," he spoke and Kenn turned his gaze.
"Um... does look like I give a shit? It's not bothering anyone," Kenn snarled at the guard.
"Actually it is, I can smell the cigarette smoke from here. Now if you kindly just refrain from smoking, it will be nice for the rest of the guests."
Kenn looked at the guard as he too another puff and walks up to the guard, blowing the smoke onto his face, making him cough as a reaction.
"What the..*cough*... that's assault!" the guard growled as he wheezed.
"You're such a fucking pussy. All I did was blow smoke in your face. Who raised you, you mom?" Kenn taunted.
"Kenjuro, please stop!" Leo warned, but fell to deaf ears.
"Alright, if you're not going to comply, then we're gonna have to do this the hard way," the guard said as he grabbed Kenn's arm, making him react quickly.
"Hey asshole, let go of my arm!"
"You're not complying with me! I said to stop smoking and loitering and you chose to ignore me!" the guard thundered.
"That doesn't give you the right to put your fucking hands in me! Let go, you pig!" Kenn yelled as it began to attract the crowd.
"KENJURO!" Leo roared.
"Stop resisting or I will use force!" the guard growled and Kenn felt his own anger boiling over.
"FUCK OFF!!!" he shouted out and threw a harsh punch to the guard's face knocking him backwards which broke his jaw everyone screamed in horror over what they had saw.
"My jaw... you broke my jaw!" the guard moaned in pain.

"Nice to meet you, ladies." Alex responded with a smile, not letting Samara's colder shoulder get him down as he was very excited to meet someone like him and meet another beast. "My friend's name is Wingsy. I gave him his name around 7 years ago when I turned 16. He's a bit of a stick in the mud sometimes but he's still my boy."
"Alex, I'm touched." Wingsy sniffed, trying to keep from getting too emotional.
"Love you too, man!" Alex responded to his eagle friend, opting to show love, even when their counterparts didn't appear to be on the same page.
"Alex, I believe Samara did pose a questions."
"Right." Alex nodded. "But no, he actually saved my life during a skydive that almost went horribly wrong. I'm actually used to him now." Alex chose to be more forthcoming first in hopes of Samara being more comfortable. He laughed at Tigress and her sudden reaction to chocolate. "I like her." He said of Tigress. "How did you end up meeting her?" He posed the question to Samara.
