Wilde greeted the Rangers as Hayate remained silent, borderline analyzing each of then, a look of curiosity on his face.
Gregory smiled as he leaned against the table. "Well Done Rangers... we definitely learned a lot from that battle... and it is unfortunate what happened to that man... I'll contact my friends in the LAPD and see what I can learn of the man and compensate his family... though money and gifts can never replace a loved one..." Gregory said the last part with a bit of sadness as if speaking from experience.
He then made his way over to the screen as it showed Slasher tying up civilians and taking them with him through a portal. "On top of that... I fear Gomu and Slasher plan to make more of those beasts with the innocent... Hayate... is there a way to safely reverse the effects and return people to normal?" He asked the Warrior.
"If there is the only ones who know are either Gomu.. or dead..." Greywind said regretfully.
Hakim sighed as he looked to the others. "So... on top of everything else we gotta find a way to cure those who turn into Pseudo-Dark Beasts... Jesus..."
Gregory also sighed before looking around at the group. "We will find a way. I promise... however in the meantime..." Gregory opened a locker and threw a security uniform at Kenn. "Kenn... I spoke with the lovely Ms. Grey! She's fine now but I informed her of your little... scuffle with my security and told her of our arrangement! Good news she's in full support of it! Said something along the lines of... 'if he enjoys having a roof over her head he had better get to work over there.' So welcome to my security! Oh cheer up. You get to rough people up who are unwanted guests! And unless said otherwise you may use any means to get them off the property. You start tomorrow."
He then tossed a workers uniform at Hakim. "Hakim... since you ate living here and using my facilities... only right you help keep up the place. You'll be working with Mary Sue, Sarah here and sometimes Izekial. I trust that is okay with you?" He asked with an eyebrow raised to which Hakim nodded sheepishly.
"Sarah! You're getting a 3 dollar raise. Don't tell Hakim." He said with a chuckle.
"As for You two..." he said to Samara and Alex. "I understand you probably have lives outside here but should you ever wish to help with the Zoo during off times or etcetera I have two volunteer shirts with your names on them. I'd also slip you some cash under the table for your help!"
Greywind suddenly spoke up. "How? How did you three combine? In all my years I've never seen such a thing... not with Three Beast Spirits of different groups and species... how?"

Samara nodded, looking at Gregory. "As long as it's long-sleeved. I don't do short-sleeves since my car accident," she said with a bit of a smile.

"Hah!?" Kenn exclaimed in shock as he was given the security uniform. "Hold on, I said that I didn't want to be your lapdog! There's no way I'm gonna listen to you, Donald Trump!"
"Oh, quit complaining! Just be lucky that you're not in jail!" Leo growled, showing his full spirit form.

"Thanks!" Alex smiled, conveying his appreciation for the opportunity at a bit of a side hustle at a zoo that he was becoming fond of, even if there wasn't any Ranger business involved. When the question came up regarding zord formation, Alex hesitated a moment before answering. "To be honest, I'm not sure. While we were fighting, I remember some voice speaking to me and Wingsy saying something about chosen then there were two sets of buttons. One was blue and yellow. The other was white and green so I pressed the blue and yellow one and whoosh!"

Despite Sarah's best efforts the conversation between the other Rangers, Izekial hitting way too many potholes and the adrenaline of the fight kept her awake until they arrived back at the zoo. Still she got some rest in and was feeling a bit more confident about her ability to handle her job by the time the jeep got parked and they all had to get out.
It was a shame about the old man and even worse was the fact that there was no way to turn the Pseudo-Dark Beasts back at the moment but she did her best not to let that bring her down. There was also some good news, like the fact that all the Rangers were offered jobs at the zoo which would make things much easier, and much less important but way more useful to her directly the three dollar raise.
She did have a question to Greywind though. "What did you mean with different groups? Mammals, fish and birds or land, air and water animals?" She had no idea if knowing how Spirits were categorized would ever be important but she figured it in no way would hurt to ask .

Master Greywind shook his head as he tried to process everything. "A voice? 'Chosen'?" The Beast Master seemed confused yet he kept any other question to himself. They wouldn't know anything further than what they just experienced. He then turned to answer Sarah's question.
"While it is not uncommon for Beast Spirits to be seen with different species and form bonds on the plane... I've never seen them combine in such a manner... The Megazord... it was said only a select few could form it. What a time to learn such a power... That Slasher guy .. using the Ilda berries in such a way... to grow the Pseudo-Dark Beast... it seems you all have lucked out." Hayate frowned as he looked at all five Rangers.
"Listen up... as of right now... you are all Beast Masters in training. I will teach you all that I know... but I hope the severity of this all is not lost on you. Your world is in even more danger than you know. Gomu's minions don't seem to be phased by the plague like he and I are... meaning they are able to stay here and fight. As you become stronger you'll hold your Ranger forms longer and I'm sure the same will go for your Megazord... we can not afford mistakes. You saw what they did to an innocent man... imagine what they will do to your family and friends... or even yourselves if given an opportunity. Get your rest... tomorrow... we train." Hayate said as he then walked off, not willing to show the group the genuine concern and fear on his face. The Riser Blade materialized and followed Greywind.
Gregory nodded to the group. "Seems we have our work cut out for us... rest up team!" Suddenly his phone buzzed as he then answered it, even without putting it on speaker Mary Sue was heard in a panic yelling. "Mr. Wilde! The Elephant's! They... they keep throwing their... shit at me! Send back up!"
Wilde hung up and raised an eyebrow to Hakim and Sarah. "Seems the day isn't quite finished for you two."
Hakim stared wide eyed at Gregory then at Sarah. "Wh-what does he mean by that...?"

Samara nodded, listening to Greywind. "I'll do my best. I'm not a fighter by any means, but I'll do my best," she said. She looked over at Hakim and Sarah, snickering as she did. "Sounds like you two have work to do. Maybe your Beast could help with the elephants, Hakim."

Kenn looked at the Security guard uniform and just growled. Not only was he forced to train with Greywind, and he already has some bad blood with him, he was forced to work as a security guard. He wanted to throw the uniform at Gregory and tell him "fuck you" and go on with his day. He snarled as he grabbed hold of the uniform.
"I should've just let those pigs take me to the damn slammer," he grumbled.

After hearing Hayate, Alex felt somewhat conflicted. On one hand, he was excited to get exactly what he wanted in training to further master these gifts bestowed upon him and to further strengthen his partnership with his winged beast partner. On the other hand, the gravity of the situation had really started to sink in. Between the innocent old man and lord knows how many more people in the future, he understood that this war was not going to be pretty or for the faint of heart. All he could do right now is prepare himself for what was ahead, all while at the same time, relishing in the excitement that is likely to come with these new abilities and the thrilling battles he is sure to take part in.
"Yes!" Alex stopped short of a full on celebration and simply smiled, feeling confident that they would be able to win with the proper training and teamwork. His thoughts took a turn when he heard that the elephants were on a shitty rampage. Alex couldn't help but chuckle before placing a hand on Hakim's shoulder. With every thought coming to his mind being a shit or poop based pun, the eagle bearer could only shake his head.

Taking the day off sounded good to Sarah but before any of them could leave the underground base a call from Mr Wilde's assistant ruined any hopes for nice relaxing day. "Mr. Wilde! The Elephant's! They... they keep throwing their... shit at me! Send back up!" Even before Hakim and Sarah were told to go help out the Shark Ranger could tell where it was going and sighed in defeat. Hakim stared wide eyed at Gregory then at Sarah. "Wh-what does he mean by that...?" "Simply put we're both gonna wish your Spirit can talk to actual elephants because otherwise we'll be in ... deep shit ourselves." She couldn't believe she actually went there.
As she left to go deal with one of the worst parts of her job she muttered to herself that a three dollar raise wasn't enough if she had to deal with stuff like that and her Ranger duties hoping Mr. Wilde didn't hear her.

The Rangers all retired for the day with the exception of Hakim and Sarah as there was bit of a lighter feeling after the jokes about cleaning after the Elephant's especially as Hakim tried to finesse his way out of it, but Sarah was having none of it and dragged him along. Gregory spent the rest of the evening learning about the Rangers with fhe exception of Kenn who seemed already pissed to now be a security guard and was definitely not willing to share anything. Greywind found himself on the roof of the Zoo deep in thought as he stared at the Riser Blade. "Why... Why Master? Them?" Hayate frowned as the Blade floated up and circled around Hayate. His Falcon Spirit coming out of his body. "Hayate... they grow stronger every day... they could be the key to defeating Gomu!""They're just children... and the enemy is not above treachery... and they Slasher... he mirrored Irza's movements... when did Irza take on a student? Before his death? We were on missions all the time together... something doesn't add up..." Hayate folded his arms as he continued to go over everything that happened in the day. ----- Slasher walked through the a portal into the Primal Plane where Gomu sat with a less than desirable expression on his face. "So... what did you learn of the enemy?"Slasher dropped to a knee before speaking. "Inexperienced... children... however they are increasing in power... they have unlocked several new abilities after our one encounter... I know not to take them lightly but still... they would be no threat to us... what is the next plan master?""Hmph... we send Beast after Beast... to wear down their forces and the city... until I have perfected my army with the elite warriors... next... we send the Fatal Five...""Seis""Scorch""Snipes""Stingra""Bane" "You five will decimate the Rangers and bring the city of Los Angeles to its knees... understood?""Yes Master! They all shouted in unison as Gomu began to cackle to himself as Slasher remained quiet seemingly in thought himself. END

Episode 3: Clash of Styles! It had been a whole week since the last battle against the Goat Monster and Slasher but Gomu wasn't letting up. He sent Beast after Beast and each time the Rangers had bested them. With each victory they gained more and more confidence in their own abilities. Hayate had even trained them helping them gain synergy with their Beast Spirits. The Rangers also discovered over the time they not only were stringer but each of them had developed the ability to administer a small level of healing onto people. Healing cuts and bruises even slightly speeding up the healing process of a broken bone. They also were able to last longer in their Ranger forms given if they hadnt taken too much damage of course. And while there were very much still bumps in the teamwork department they were nowhere near where they first started. Today however... would definitely test a certain Beast Master in training. Today's adventure started hot as the Rangers were already morphed and going after a Pseudo-Dark Beast that had been created from a neighborhood ice cream vendor. The serum used by Slasher had turned him into a Yeti like creature with Polar Bear DNA. The monster was freezing civilians and vehicles and being a nuisance. The Yeti hit the ground hard and was rolling as the Five Rangers Stepped up. "Ya know? These things keep getting uglier and weirder in the Ability Department!" Hakim said to the others as he Readied his Cube Blaster.

Samara nodded, taking her own Blaster in hand. "Yeah, well, what do you expect? Gomu ain't a pretty sight either," she said, getting ready to fire. With the power levels they'd gained in the last week, the White Ranger was starting to get more confident in herself, but something nagged the back of her head having watched her new friends fighting. "Let's just take this dude down and snag some of that ice cream. I could use a cold treat after this frosty fight."

"Ugh, shouldn't you think of something else rather, you getting yourself fat?" Kenn snarked, readying his Cube Blaster as he was ready to open fire at the Yeti Pseudo-Dark Beast. He had been on the team and he already detested being around the others.

When Ken and Samara started arguing amongst themselves Sarah wasn't even surprised. Part of her wanted to say something but she wasn't sure if it was her place since she wasn't the teamleader and she had gotten in similar arguments with the Yellow Ranger before so she instead decided to let Alex take care of it.
