10. Rivalry and Power [Part-4].
Screen opens to Miss Grim living room were Phara rocking Tanis back and forth in a rocking chair. Tanis has calmed down.
Phara- You feeling better yet Tanis.
Tanis- Ya. I'm fine. Can you put me down now. This is embarrassing.
Phara- Ha Ha Ha. Just a bit long. Your so cute we your curled up like this.
Phara pats Tanis head. She did not look amused and bright red embarrassed .
Tanis- Ow quit it.
That when Fiona and Nova enter the room.
Nova- Hey Tanis are you feeling better.
Tanis- Uh Hu. I'm all better now.
Fiona- Are you sure?
Tanis- Yep. . So did Sibella tell you how Miss Grim and Walter find me.
Fiona- No she didn't.
Nova- Hold on Walter was with her!?
Phara- Now Tanis I don't want to have to calm you down again.
Tanis- Don't worry I'm good Phara. Beside they deserve to know. They are our friends right.
Phara- Fine. But the moment you start crying is the moment your going to sleep. You understand. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Phara creepily look down at Tanis who didn't even need to look at her to become scared. Nova and Fiona felt the same way.
Tanis- Of course Phara I wont. Ha Ha.
Nova- Uh!? You don't have to Tanis we know enough.
Fiona- Ya. There no need to continue.
Tanis- Still you deserve to know. You see Miss Grim and Walter were sent to find my tomb for the new Pharaoh of the Oases Empire. Miss Grim agreed to the deal as long as Walter could aid her due to him being trained by her.
Nova- Hold on I thought Humans weren't allowed in the Monster Realm.
Tanis- Yes. Unless approved by the Magic Court. Which it was. Anyways when they entered my tomb they . . had to. . kill my parents. To unlock the room I was imprisoned in.
Tanis struggles to speak but manages to without crying. As images of her dead parents flash before with Walter striking down her mother who was manipulating sand to attack him but Walter cut's through her sand shield burning away her body along with a light sand ruby. As Miss Grim strikes down Tanis father with a single strike impales him through his sand shield that covered his skin protecting his ruby killing him. As the doors open to Tanis main Tomb there is the Time Sarcophagi. It's surrounded by Gold, Silver, along with a boat and weapons. The screen changes back to Tanis holding back from crying.
Fiona- That's enough Tanis. We understand.
Tanis- No. There's one more thing you must know. When I was freed from the Time Sarcophagi I was consumed by Dark Aura and attacked Miss Grim and Walter.
Screen changes back to Tanis main Tomb were the Time Sarcophagi opens to Tanis eyes glow a dark demon blue the chain that held her were broken dangling beside her. She use's telekinesis to yank a sword to her then leaps art Miss Grim and Walter. The screen changes back to Fiona interrupting Tanis.
Fiona- Hu? Wait what is Dark Aura.
Nova- Forget about that. Why did you attack them?
Tanis- Dark Aura forms when one passions are not under control. I suffered while inside that Sarcophagi. Dying over and over again. Along with no were to run but a black endless void. While trying to brake free I was consumed by my passions driving me insane and having me lash out at anyone one or thing Infront of me. So be careful with you Passions you two. Unless they turn against you.
Nova- What happened after you attacked them.
Tanis- Ha. I was restrained by them using a Seal Scroll. That summoned golden chains that forced me to kneel.
Fiona- Like what Walter did with Broot.
Tanis- Yep. That was the same spell. Anyway Miss Grim managed to bring myself back. I was confused and scared but she promised to help me.
Fiona- Ah! That sounds just like Miss Grim.
Tanis- Ha. Ya it does. After that I was put back on trial by The Oasis Empire.
Nova- Hold on they put you back on trial!? For what?
Tanis- It's part of the law when someone sealed away like I was. But thanks to Miss Grim and Walter they manage to prove I was innocent while looking through old artifacts and evidence proving I was framed and was removed from all murder charges. Along with becoming a citizen of the Empire. Miss Grim also adopted me.
Screen changes to what looked to be a modern court room but with the modern Pharaoh Ha-T and his court of Desert Elf's. While Miss Grim Walter and some artifact along with there archaeologist. Tanis smile ones the Pharaoh announces Tanis innocent along with Miss Grim and Walter.
Fiona- That's good. You were proven innocent and had a happy ending Tanis.
Nova- Though it came a bit late. Ow.
Fiona bumps her elbow into Nova. Looking mad at her.
Nova [Whisper]- What? It's true.
Tanis- Ya. I wish it came sooner though. Uh!?
A tear ran down Tanis cheek. But her sad face turned to fear once she felt it. Phara grabs Tanis shoulder.
Phara- Ok. I think that's enough Tanis.
Tanis- Uh. Sure. Anyway we should get back. Before the others get worried.
Fiona- Are you sure your ready to go back.
Nova- Ya. There no shame in sitting out. If your not feeling well.
Tanis- No. I'm good. Right Phara.
Phara- Ha Ha. Sure I think your good now. Just remember you tears up again. You go night night alright. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Tanis- Uh! Yes Miss Phara.
Phara- Ha. Good. Now come on were going to be late. Also the last one there a Rotten Apple!
Nova- You hear that Fiona see you there Rotten Apple!
Tanis- Wait up Nova! I don't want to be a Rotten Apple!
Tanis hops off Phara lap and takes off behind Nova looking a bit scared of Tanis. As Phara levitated back up smiling like nothing happen. Then takes off as the other chase after her. The screen changes back to Walter and Jon beating Broot around with every sword strike that slides him around.
Broot [Thoughts]- Ahh! Dam you Walter you'll pay for this. UH!!
That when Jon slamming his hand into Broots cheat smashing a larger hole through it revealing Broot heart a black orb with red vanes. Jon hands burns with thick Black and Dark Red flame.
Jon- Executioner Flaming Punch!!
Broot- No!!
Walter- Republic Flaming Wind Impalement!!
Walter cane sword burn with white wind and light blue flame around the sword. Then slams his sword into Broot heart but instead going through the heart it only launches Broot back slamming him through tree's and sliding across the mud before landing into a swamp lake. Walter and Jon manages to keep and stop Infront of the lake.
Jon- How did he survive that? That attack should have ripped his heart apart.
Walter- I don't Jon. Maybe his heart stronger then we thought.
That when the tree around them began to rot and die around them. Then Broot leaps out of the river his armor reformed and look thicker. His sword burns Black Dark Silver.

Jon- Great he absorbed Aura from the swamp.
Walter- Jon! Look out!
Broot- Swamp Wind Cutter!!
Walter and Jon blocks Broot sword strikes that wind manages to cut up them but also cut through tree's behind them. They slide back from the force of the hit but they manages to remain upright.
Broot- Ha Ha Ha. It's been a while sense I've been push this far. Now it's time to finally kill you Ranger Trash!
Walter and Jon slam into Broot who blocks Walter sword strike with his sword and Jon Axe strike with his hand. And manages to hold of there attacks that and match each strike as the screen changes back the Rangers and Monster Girls gathering back together. Tanis looked tired from chasing after Phara and Nova. Austin walks over to check on Tanis with Zane
Austin- Hey Tanis. Are you feeling better.
Tanis- Ya. I'm all good Mister Austin and Zane. Just a bit winded.
Zane- Ow I wonder why.
Zane looks over at Nova
Nova- What? It was a fun race sir. Beside Phara started it.
Phara- Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. It's true I did.
Zane- Were talk about this latter. Now I believe it is Gunter's turn right Bella.
Sibella- I believe so Zane. So what's your story Gunter.
Gunter- Hm. Well I grew up in a bad part of the big city. My father was one of a few good cops who stood up to the gangs that ran the streets and corruption throughout the justice system.
Tanis- Your father sound like a good human Gunter.
Gunter- He was Tanis. Unfortunately it what lead to his death. You see he pissed off a lot of politicians and gangs. Which lead to them paying of the police to lead him into an ambush that killed him.
Gunter was mad and everyone notice it including Winnie who opens her eyes interested.
Sibella- How do you know it was them.
Gunter- Because a lot of cops were arrest the following month and one was to have my father sent to warehouse near the docks. Ha. It's somewhat funny because it was my father who asked for the investigation into bribes.
Austin [Thoughts]- Dam. I didn't think Gunter life was like this.
Phara- Ha Ha. Ya. He at least stopped this from happening again. Ha Ha Ha.
Winnie- Phara. Right he didn't die in vane.
Gunter- True. But after all that nothing got better. The gangs kept destroying the city to the point it was more expensive to leave then stay. My mom did her best for me. Supported me to become a great police officer like my father. But as the city fell into disrepair she was planning to move me to my family in the farm country.
Elean- Is that when you met Walter.
Gunter- Yes he offered me a better education and training to become a police officer. And well me and my mom agreed to the deal. Ha. I would never thought of being here fighting against a living tree and some old dead witch.
Phara- Ha Ha Ha! I can agree with that.
Winnie- Why do you want to become a police officer Gunter. After all that happened and him being betrayed. Why would you want anything to do with them after that.
Gunter- My father told me he didn't become a police officer for money or fame. He did it to up hold freedoms of each person. That a job of the cop is to be calm and ready to act to aid others. And that why I want to become a cop to make sure those rights are upheld.
Winnie was surprised by Gunter response but that quickly fade. The Rangers look happy at Gunter comment along with the rest of the Monster Girls.
Sibella- Very respectful words from your father Gunter. Now I believe it's your turn Winnie.
Winnie- Ha. Simple I'm a Werewolf from the Silver Moon Pack. I enjoy fighting and eating that's it. Now can we get back to training.
Elean- Uh. Come now Winnie. Tell them more then that.
Winnie- No. We wasted enough time talking about each other let's get back to training. Or did you forget a giant dead tree trying to kill us.
Phara- Ha Ha Ha! Come on Winnie. We all told ours you have to as well.
Winnie- I said drop it Phara.
Sibella- That's it I had just about enough with your attitude.
Gunter- I agree Bella. So how about a little bet Were-Poodle.
Winnie- GRR! What type of bet. Grass-Head.
Gunter and Winnie glair at each other as the other look like here we go again. Tanis gets between Gunter and Winnie.
Tanis- Come on you two there's no need to fight.
Austin- Tanis right. Drop it you two.
Sibella stands up and walks between then. That has Gunter confused but Winnie is on guard.
Gunter- Um!? Sibella.
Sibella- I guess there's no helping it. What bet do you two want to do.
Gunter- Ha. Simple if I win you tell use everything about yourself and I can call you Poodle and you can't get angry.
Winnie- Fine. But were going to fight no volleyball or other sport. Also if I win you stop calling me poodle. And what I told you is what you get.
Gunter- Deal.
The other Rangers look like they know Gunter going to lose. While Phara look excited while Tanis look worried.
Zane- Uh. Nice work Gunter. Keep making things worse.
Nova- What do you expect from Gunter sir.
Phara- Ha Ha. This is going to be fun to watch.
Tanis- Fun!? Winnie going to rip Gunter apart for real this time.
Sibella- Well if you to are going to fight then follow me.
As Gunter and Winnie walked with Sibella the other followed not far from behind. The screen changes back to Walter and Jon still in combat with Broot. But they all looked drained fighting on there will. Broot manages to blast Walter and Jon back. They managed to roll back on there feet.
Broot- UHH! Why wont you two just die already!
Walter- Ha. Sorry Broot. But we still have a reason to live.
Jon- And mine to make you pay for the lives you took all those years ago.
Broot- Ow! Ha Ha Ha. Those worthless Humans got what they deserve. And soon you will be joining them.
Jon- Walter. Ready to end this.
Walter- Yep. I'll go first.
Jon- Gotcha! Napalm Axe Toss!!
Walter charges in first he ducks as Jon tosses his Axe over him at Broot. Jon Axe consumed by Black and Dark Red Flames. Broot manages to nock it away but right when his hand nocked the axe away it explodes and flame consumes Broot causing him great pain.
Broot- AHHHHHHH!! Uh!?
That when slams into Broot who struggles to hold off Walter strikes even while using his giant two handed sword to keep him away. Broot grips his two handed sword and does an overhand strike. But Walter manages to block the strike by griping his sword grip and blade. But the force goes through Walter leaving a small crater in the ground. That when vines wraparound Walter body but Jon leaps over Walter and uses telekinesis to call his axe back to his hand. And with one power strike cutting Broot hands off.
Broot- Ha. Finally got you. What!?
Jon- Burning Axe Strike!!
Broot- AHH! You ungrateful rat! AHH!!
Right when Jon cuts off Broot hands he fire dash into him and slams both his hands into Broot chest and grabs his heart while his hands burn Dark Red. Slamming into Broot caused him to land backwards onto the ground as Walter does a Wind Repulse freeing himself.
Walter- Nice work Jon. UH!?
Jon- I'm going to enjoy. Making you suffer for every life you took that day. And when I'm done with you I'm going to find your Witch and destroy her along with you.
Broot- AHH! HA HA HA! You fool she's already free and as for me. Next time you want to kill someone don't allow them to slip away through the swamp. HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Broot body began to decay Jon burns away the rest of the body with a fire repulse enraged. Walter looked worried about Jon.
Walter- Jon are you uh. .
Jon raises his right hand up causing Walter to stop.
Jon- He escaped again. Why didn't you transform using that power.
Walter- I just manage to contain it's power. Not use it like it once was. Beside the power didn't chose me.
Jon- Ah. I see. Alright then. Let's get back to Muddy Creek. We have a lot to do to make sure history doesn't repeat itself. Agreed old friend.
Walter- Agreed.
As Walter and Jon heads back towards Muddy Creek the screen changes to Broot making his way into a cave as his body slowly regenerates.
Broot- Dam it. I was so close to ridding myself of both of you. If it wasn't for this weak body. UHK!!
That when Revolta walked out from the dark end of the cave. She was crushing Broot who kneels to the ground in pain.
Revolta- How dare you risk us being discovered. We much to do in order to compete against these Rangers.
Broot- AH! I was only trying to get rid of there teacher is all my empress.
Revolta- Are you insane! If you managed to kill them. My dear sister would have trained them. Would you preferred that.
Broot- Forgive me. I wasn't thinking.
Revolta- Good. Now gather your things it time to retake our castle. And my rightful place as Empress.
Broot kneels on his knees as she releases him from her grip.
Broot- Of course my Empress.
As Revolta walked away from Broot the screen changes to the Rangers and the Monster Girls watching as Winnie and Gunter stand a few feet away from each other. While Sibella between them.
Austin- Hold on? Why aren't they going into meditation to fight.
Nova- Austin right. Why aren't they doing that Elean.
Elean- Well there more then one way to train in combat then mind meditation. This is more um physical way to fight.
Zane- What do you mean by that.
Elean- Watch and I'll explain. This is called a Magic Circle. There many types but this one allows two people to fight without killing each other.
Nova- How!? Does it stop the fight before they kill each other.
Phara- Ha Ha Ha. We wish. But no you can still kill a person in the circle. Also the pain is one-hundred percent real. Ha Ha.
Nova- What!?
Austin- Then how do they not die!?
Tanis- Simple the circle heals all wounds and revives them before the circle was cast. They used this to chose the most powerful to lead army's into battle.
Fiona- That sounds completely Savage.
Sibella pulls out a Blood Red Ruby from her bow belt and grips it with both of here hands. A Red Magic Circle appears around them as Sibella turned into black mist and faded away. She reappears beside Zane.
Sibella- It's the way of life for many. Also sometimes the best way to learn is through actual combat. Because meditation can only do so much.
Phara- WOOHOO!! Go get her Gunter! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!
The other Rangers watched and look worried along with Tanis. But the other girls look calm. As Winnie bring out her claws.
Winnie- Last chance to back out Green Head.
Gunter- In your dreams Poodle. I'm a Freedom Fighter Ranger and I'm Never Afraid of Danger!
Gunter Armor appears on him and pulls out his power Axe.
Gunter- Huntsmen Power!
Winnie- Ha. Shoot yourself.
Gunter charges in his axe griped tight close to his body as he slams into Winnie who blocks each strike that unleashes wind Aura that kicked up dust.
Fiona- Wo! He really not holding back.
Zane- He can't otherwise it will be over in an instant.
Fiona [Confused]- Uh!? Really.
Nova- Yes. Gunter knows Winnie strong then him. Even with using the monster Coin at full power. It won't be enough. Even with the training we have done.
Fiona look back worried.
Fiona- Gunter end this quick!
Gunter- What do you think I'm doing! Ah!!
Fiona- Gunter!!
Gunter- Huntsmen Wind. .
Winnie manages to land three scratch marks across Gunter helmet visor. But before he could respond with an attack Winnie beats him to it.
Winnie- Werewolf Fire Ball!!
Winnie blows out a fire ball shaped like a werewolf from her mouth hitting Gunter launching him away ripping his armor apart along with nocking off him helmet. Winnie leaps at Gunter sliding him against the ground and slams her claws into Gunter chest. Winnie hands burn with Magma burning through his armor into his ribs. Gunter grips Winnie hands and manages to keep her from fully digging into his ribs. The Rangers look worried along with the other Monster Girls but Elean and Sibella.
Gunter- AHHHHH!!
Winnie- GRRR! What's a matter Green Head. Can't handle the heat. AWOOOOO!! Hu!?
That when Gunter closes his eyes and open them changing to Black and Dark Green. This surprised Winnie with dread as she try's to end the fight by slowly digging into Gunter ribs but before she could she launched off Gunter with a Telekinesis wind blast that cuts up her clothes and lightly cuts her before she lands away from him. When Winnie gets back up Gunter voice has changed to a deeper dark voice then he usually have.
Winnie- Uh! Hu!!
Gunter [The Huntsmen]- What a matter Werewolf. Scared to see your creator in person. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Winnie look in horror as Gunter stands ready to fight again only this time his stance he stood with his axe burning a Dark Green. Winnie grips her sword and activates her blade that burns Light Moon Blue one her hand grip to the ground while her right hand grips the sword hilt tight ready to charge at Gunter. The other Ranger and Monster Girls look in horror. As Sibella smiles along with Elean as the screen fades to black.
End Rivalry and Power.
