The 7th ranger-A wild force story

Chapter 2-Old friends and new foes

Merrick twitched and groaned, waking up to a bright light. He was lying on the floor of a lush green clearing, a far cry from the dusty ground of the forest he had been fighting the Wasp Vorg in. Merrick pushed himself into a sitting position and looked around, a strange feeling of déjà vu causing his skin to tingle. He peered around the trees, pain ebbing from a cut on his upper arm. Suddenly a shadow covered the clearing and the loud, echoing cries of an eagle were heard. Merrick looked up as the Golden eagle passed overhead, calling out to the sky. Merrick stared at the huge creature in surprise. "The eagle Zord...That means....I'm on The Animarium!" Merrick quickly got up, all pain forgotten, and started pushing through the bushes. He knew exactly where to go and how to get there. As he traveled through the undergrowth he felt his body fill with determination as he finally reached where he was headed. Merrick gazed around at the temple, remembering when he last was there 2 years ago. His gaze fell on the pool of sacred water near one of the walls as it started to glow brightly. The light turned into a shimmering ball floating in the air before transforming into a human dressed in a long white dress, a crown of flowers in her long brown hair, a sight painfully familiar to Merrick. He stood there, eyes wide. "Princess Shayla..." He walked towards her, "I thought I'd never see you again..."

The Princess smiled at Merrick, "I never thought I would see you again either Merrick...I wish it wasn't under these circumstances that we do meet again though..." Her smiled faded as she sat down on the edge of the pool. Merrick opened his mouth to speak again when the bushes behind them rustled and others stepped out, looking around in confusion before noticing Shayla and Merrick.

"Princess Shayla! And Merrick! What's going on? Why are we back on the Animarium?" The flood of questions came from a tall man with a red bandana tied around his head.

The Princess smiled at him. "Welcome back Cole, Taylor, Max, Alyssa and you too Danny. I wish I can say I brought you back here for good reasons but I cannot...A great danger has risen from before the first battle with the orgs three thousand years ago." She looked back at the pool with a sigh, her hand trailing over it and her smile gone. Merrick looked at the ground before looking back at the former rangers. "They are called Vorgs. I fought one before I was teleported up here. They seem to be much more powerful than any org we have faced in the past..."

No one spoke after this, all of them casting uneasy glances to each other as they understood what was going on. Evil had awoken again and was already causing trouble...
