Even with the boss knowing she was busy during the fight Sarah figured she should probably go back to doing her job, if only to prevent people from asking questions. So when the rangers split up she retuned the wheel barrow of toys since she figured her workload was gonna be pretty different than usual.
For once Swimmer actually kept up with her, since despite knowing that another attack was unlikely he didn't want to leave Sarah on her own at the moment just in case.
As expected at the offices things were about as big a chaos as everywhere else with several visitors in what would be normally restricted areas.

Gregory escorted Greywind inside as the doors shut behind them. "Now that we're out of the way... there are a few things I'm hoping you can shine some light on good sir..." He asked the Beast Master. "I see..." Greywind replied weakly. Hakim had circled around the building managing to slip away from the chaos as he entered the Zoo from his secret opening. It was a bit harder without Phant's assistance as well and Hakim realized now that he wouldn't be able to just rely on his spirit for everything. After a bit of struggling Hakim finally Made it back to the Elephant enclosure. He stepped onto a branch and pulled himself up into his hidden tree house and laid down exhausted. "You did well today Hakim... But Gomu is sure to return... when I am better we should practice with the Ranger Form again. We may not be able to rely on the other Rangers anymore... who knows."Hakim put his hands behind his head as he looked up at his wooden plank ceiling. Phant was right. Even if they met the other Rangers again Hakim and Phant would have to work on their own skills in case Gomu were to attack again. The day had begun to take its toll on Hakim as he then began to drift off to sleep hoping the next day would be a better one. Meanwhile on the Primal Plane The portal opened as Gomu fell to his knees clutching his sides. He let out a Guttural roar as he punched the ground. "Greywind... those humans... Beast Spirits... all will fall... Earth will be mine... but first we start with that city... luckily... I know just how to conquer them all... rise my Pseudo-Dark Beasts!"In the horizon dozens of silhouettes were seen moving about all around Gomu as he cackled. Gomu raised the piece of the Wolrd Cube up high as the creatures around him began to roar and cheer as a sinister smirk crept onto Gomu's Face. (Episode 1 End)

Episode 2: Bonds! Primal Beast Megazord! It had been a few days since the attack on the City and Hakim honestly was on edge a bit. He felt any second another attack could follow and he had no idea how to prepare for it. Hakim wiggled his way through the air vent per usual towards the food storage room. He dropped down and opened the fridge going though the usual selections when the door swung open and Hakim jumped turning around seeing Gregory Wilde with his hands in his pockets. "Uh... uh..." Hakim stuttered having been found out. "Hakim correct?" Gregory asked calmly. "Uh... yeah..." Hakim was beginning to panic. "You're late." Gregory then said in a matter of fact like tone. "I'm sorry... what?" Hakim said confused. "Normally you grab your food around 9 am... it's almost noon... sleeping in a bit more than usual huh?" "I'm sorry but again... what?!" Hakim was beyond puzzled as Gregory seemed to know his schedule to a tee. "I know you've been here for the past 3 or so months. I must say I admire the ingenuity young man. No wonder you're a Power Ranger." Gregory opened the fridge and tossed Hakim a snapple. "You knew I've been here? Izekial...." Hakim said feeling betrayed. "Actually no... he hadn't said anything to me until I spoke to him. I've known you were here since your first day... Izekial begged me to not call the police despite me having no plans to after seeing what you can do... though he kept saying The Truth always reveals itself in the end. I'll explain in greater detail soon." Gregory checked his watch. "For now take a walk with me we'll be joined by the others within the hour hopefully." "Others?" Hakim asked as he followed beside Gregory.

Days had passed since the attack on LA and Kenn had tried his best not to think about the events that happened as he was in his room, the blaring sound of metal music engulfing the room. He was looking at himself in the mirror where he was wearing a white tank-top shirt that showed off his muscular build with a tattoo shown on the left side of his arm. He kept staring in the mirror until the door opens a woman approached the room and turned off the radio. The woman was none other than Melinda Grey. "What the fu-," Kenn said. "Hey! I had the radio on for a reason!" "Don't give me that, Kenjuro. Care to explain this?" Melinda spoke sternly as she showed him what happened to be a letter. "I have just received a letter from Mr. Gregory Wilde that he wants you to join him at the Zoo. What God's name happened over there?" Kenn snarled, "What do you mean? I was just minding my own business until those pigs try to attack me, so I let him have it," he said and Melida found herself in shock. "You did what!? Kenjuro Shishizuka, have you lost your goddamn mind? I had you go to the Zoo to enjoy yourself and start meeting new people, but instead, you get into a fight with some security guards!? Have you forgotten that if you ever tried to get into fights, you would face up to 15 years in prison!?" she cried out, her worry for Kenn's future already starting to take over her. But it didn't seem to bother him. "So what? It's not my first time in jail. I've dealt with punks who tried to fight me," rolling his eyes, Kenn turned back to the mirror. "Do you not understand what risk you're putting yourself in? You've been in jail too many times and I don't want you to get yourself into any trouble," Melinda rubbed her temples and looked at Kenn. "Kenn, I really care about you too much and it will hurt me if you went back to jail. Lord, I don't even know why you had to pick a fight with some people at that Zoo." Melinda looked at the letter and she turned back to Kenn. "I don't know what kind of trouble you're in, but I can't let you get away scot-free. I want you to go to that Zoo and face him and whatever punishment he gives you, you're going to have to take ownership with it." Kenn turned around, looking at the woman incredulously. "What!? Are you fucking kidding me!?" he cried out. "There's no argument on this, Kenjuro. You're 25 years old and it's time that you hold yourself accountable with your actions like a grown man," Melinda spoke as she turned on her heel. "And if you can't do that, then you will have to turn yourself into the police." Melinda didn't want to go that far but she wasn't going to let Kenn destroy his life even further. As she left Kenn growled, "That fucking old fart!" he cursed.

With the days that have passed since the attack was made on the city by Gomu and his forces, there was a nervous energy that made it extremely difficult for Alex to sleep at night. He wasn't fueled by fear, he was fueled by an excitement that rivaled and in some ways, surpassed the feeling that he felt when he met Wingsy for the first time. When Gomu and his forces attacked, he felt horrible for those who lost their lives and those who were injured but to stare down the barrel of certain death and live to tell the tale was invigorating with a challenge that excited him to no end far more than his current job as a skydiving instructor. In addition to that rush that came from facing literal death, the energy he felt from being a Power Ranger brought him higher than he had ever experience with his current job from a mental standpoint. One thing that made him curious was whether or not this was a one-off or this would be the last time he ever saw Gomu, his army or even any of the other beast spirit wielders he encounters, although he was clearly more excited to see some of those people again more than others.
Alex was finishing up his latest dive with a customer, jumping with them as they were a bit too scared to do it themselves. Once the parachute was removed and the customer was safely on their feet, they expressed their gratitude to Alex and took a selfie with him to commemorate the occasion. Once the customer said their goodbyes, Alex started to pack up and prepare for the next run.
"Hey Alex!" Another instructor walked up to him with a small envelope in hand.
"Thanks!" Alex accepted the envelope and noticed that it was from Mr. Wilde.
"What does the zoo guy want with you? Did you try and nose dive into one of his displays?"
"No, I swear!" Alex laughed nervously. "Hey can you handle this one for me while I read this over?"
"Sure."
"Thanks." Alex opened the envelope and pulled out the letter while walking in the other direction. "Oh snap! It's an invite. But for what?"
"Given our predicament, I had little time to observe him but he did not appear to have any malicious intent towards you." Wingsy spoke up while Alex was reading the letter. For the winged beast, these last few days have been more eventful for him. After he recovered from the previous battle, Alex has been more insistent regarding more stunts involving the pair of them, especially after seeing Greywind in all of his glory, serving as an example of what Alex and Wingsy could be with more time and work.
"I don't think so either. Let's go see what he wants!" Alex put the note in his pocket and turned in the other direction, shouting out that he was going to be taking an early lunch before taking his leave.
"Alex? When I said that I did not sense any malicious intent, that does not mean that you should rush head first into a meeting with him."
"Yeah but where's the fun in waiting?!" Alex grinned while Wingsy could only shake his head in amazement.

Samara hadn't been able to stop thinking about the battle with Gomu since returning to her little apartment. With Tigress more amped then ever before, the young woman found herself actually enjoying her spirit partner's enthusiasm and excitement. She sat up after dropping her weights on the floor, deciding it was time to get stronger if she was expected to fight again, and she hopped up.
"Where're you going?" Tigress asked, stretching out as her tail flicked.
"Gonna shower and then we're going for a walk. Get my head clear before the next attack. Since we both know that big bastard wasn't going to give up in one little skirmish." The White Ranger disappeared behind the bathroom door, showering and changing into clean clothes before she walked out of the apartment. Stopping and checking her mail, she saw an invitation in the box from Gregory Wilde. "WHat?"
"What what?"
"AN invite back to the zoo from the dude that runs it. I mean, he did see us turn into a Skittles rainbow of superheroes. Maybe he wants us to pay for the damage we caused?" Samara asked, scratching her head softly. "Well, either way. Let's see what it's about. You in?"
"Pfffft, like you have to ask!" Tigress grinned, taking off beside her partner and heading for the zoo.

After she was done with her job the day of the attack Sarah decided that she needed to learn to fight at least a little better. Unfortunately it seemed most of the city had similar ideas and despite her best efforts she was unable to find any self-defense classes that fit her schedule, and were both nearby and not too expensive. After looking for two days she gave up and went with the best option available to her, internet tutorials.
Are you sure this will work? I mean it's a lot of work with no one to help you."
She agreed with Swimmer but saw no other option, wanting to start slow she spent about thirty minutes learning how to properly throw a punch with her partner watching her before she went to bed.
The next morning she got up a bit earlier than normal and knowing she shouldn't overdo it repeated her exercises for 10 minutes before a quick shower and breakfast. Once she arrived at the zoo she found a letter from Mr. Wilde in her locker and read it.
"I wonder what he wants with you.
"Me too, but it no doubt has to do with that Power Ranger business."

"Look if this is some sick game where you try to blackmail us because of what happened a couple days ago..." Hakim started before Gregory raised a hand to cut him off as they walked to the front door entrance of the Zoo. "I will explain everything to you all as a group... I felt need for private council which is why the Zoo is closed today." Gregory said lazily as he stretched and yawned. Hakim remained quiet but very skeptical. This man was so calm and nonchalant about everything. The attack, The Rangers, the fact Hakim h been squatting in his Zoo for months. He wondered what his game was. He however kept his thoughts to himself crossing his arms waiting for the others to arrive Meanwhile on the Primal Plane Gomu sat Indian style under a tree as he watched a group of Moebas attacking an individual all at once. The Warrior was making easy work of them as he cut them down with a blade with jagged edges that resembled a saw. The monster was chuckling after each strike on the minions as Gomu looked on impressed. He snapped his fingers as the fighting stopped. Many if the Moebas running behind Gomu relieved it was over. The Warrior knelt before Gomu his sword stabbed into the ground. "Master... With this power I will be your living weapon... what is my first task?""There is a city on the Planet Earth... Los Angeles... normally I would target elsewhere on a planet but there is a certain individual who I need dealt with... Bring me Hayate Greywind... alive... but there are five new Beast Master pretenders who have discovered the ability to become... Rangers... their deaths I leave to you... my new weapon... Slasher"Slasher rose as he pulled his blade out of the ground. "Greywind... it will be done Master."Gomu grinned as he pulled out his World Cube shard and slashed the air as a portal ripped open. Slasher and a troop of Moebas walked through it as it quickly closed up. "Do not fail me..."

Samaraa, having stopped for a coffee and a croissant sandwich, made her way toward the Zoo. As she got close, a bad feeling settled in her stomach. Tigress, who was trotting along beside her, stopped and growled. "What's wrong?"
"I can still feel Gomu's essence around here. The hatred and the sick pleasure he gets in killing my kind. It makes me sick. I can't wait to see him again and rip his throat out with my teeth!"
"Whoa, easy, hon," Samara said. "I get that you're angry. Hell, I would be if I was in your position. But going feral isn't going to help anyone. Let's just see what Mr. Wilde wants with us, and hope we're not about ot get blackmailed for what happened the other day." She tossed her wrapper in the trash and kept going, seeing the entrance up ahead.

Kenn walked the direction towards the Zoo, already irritated enough that Melinda had made him go there to face Gregory. He didn't know what he wanted with him but he was not happy about it.
"Stupid bitch. Who the fuck does she think she is, making me go back to that damn pigsty?" he grumbled underneath his breath.
"Don't badmouth Ms. Grey like that, Kenjuro," Leo exclaimed to Kenn. "She has every right to be upset with you. You nearly went to jail because of your behavior."
"Shut up! She has no right just because of that fucking letter that old fart sent!" Kenn barked at the Lion Spirit. "He can go kill himself for all I care!"
"Well, we are going to face him whether you like it or not. I don't know what his motive is but you can't weasel yourself out of this."
"Damn furball," Kenn stung out.

Alex quickly made his way towards the zoo. The anticipation was building with every step he took towards the structure that symbolized what was a monumental moment in his life with the attack by Gomu's army coupled with becoming a Power Ranger.
"I wonder if anyone else got an invite to this party."
"Perhaps if your head wasn't still in the clouds, you would already see the answer to your question." Wingsy spoke, spotting other guests making their arrival.
"Says the bird that practically lives in the clouds.." Alex looked around, only to spot Samara heading towards the zoo. Thankful to see a familiar face, Alex picked up his pace to more of a brisk walk, waving and yelling to get her attention.
"Hey Sam!!"

Even if the zoo was closed Sarah still had work to do, but luckily the fact the boss wanted to meet her got her out of having to do the ... smellier jobs. Instead she started her day off by sweeping leaves and doing other "minor" jobs. About five minutes before the meeting was supposed to start she made her way to the zoo's entrance. While she had been expecting at least some of the other Rangers to be there given the meeting spot she was sill surprised to see Mr. Wilde already talking to the Green Ranger.

Kenn made his way to the Zoo where he saw Alex and Samara and he chose not to speak to them and kept his distance from them. He began to light up a cigarette before leaning against the wall of the Zoo. "Kenjuro, you know you can at least say hello to them. They are your teammates," Leo exclaimed but the Yellow Ranger snorted.
"Those two losers? Keh, they're not my teammates. Just because we fought those monsters doesn't mean there's shit happening between us," Kenn spoke to Lion Spirit as he puffed out a cloud of smoke. A sigh came out of Leo as his frustration wavered in his mind and heart.

Hakim looked up and saw Sarah the Blue Ranger making her way over. He had almost forgotten she had worked here. He gave a wave to her. He then noticed the others arriving, Samara and Alex walked up together and then there was the broody Kenn who made his way up.
"I see everyone got the invite huh..." Hakim frowned.
"His attitude leaves much to be desired but his fighting skills were a huge asset..." Phant said quietly as not to be overheard by the Yellow Ranger.
"I guess..." Hakim said flatly before waving to The Red and White Rangers.
Gregory greeted everyone with a smile. "Ah welcome. I see my letters found you well... I must say tracking some of you down was tricky." He gave a glance to Kenn and simply smiled to him before addressing the group again.
"Now... onto why I have gathered you all here... If you would please follow me."
Gregory turned and began walking through the entrance doors.
"Anyone else not able to get a read on this guy?" Hakim asked genuinely to the others as he hesitated before following behind.
Gregory was halted as Mary Sue stepped up from behind the front desk. "Mr. Wilde! Hi I was wondering if I could.... oh... hello." She said being unexpected to be faced with others. "Who are they?"
"These fine people won an exclusive private tour of the zoo.. well except that one." Gregory pointed to Kenn. "That's our new lead security guard since Estaban will be out of action for awhile." Gregory said this as if it was already fact before raising an eyebrow to Kenn who he was sure would have something to say about it.
"However Mary Sue, most of the work around here has been done I just need you to oversee the rest of the cleaning, the other workers like to slack off when I'm not around. I trust you can handle it?"
Mary beamed being trusted with such a responsibility. She nodded grabbing a walkie talkie and hurriedly made her way to the enclosures. "I won't let you down sir!" She said excitedly before hurrying off.
Gregory chuckled "Spunky..." he then stepped towards the elevator and pushed the button as it opened normally before he motioned for the others to join him.

"Hey Sam!!"
Samara lowered her coffee from her lips, looking over and seeing Alex. "Hey, flyboy," she said with a small smile. "You got a summons from the warden too?" She looked over as she spotted Kenn, and she shook his head. "That poor Lion Spirit."
Tigress laughed, shaking her head. "Ehh, he'll either get through TOugh Ass's shell or eat him. I'm betting eat him!" she laughed.
No sooner had she said anything then Mr. Wilde walked up and took them into the Zoo. Samara looked around, following to the elevator. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wilde, sir, but....where are we going?" the White Ranger asked, following into the elevator.
