Rise Of The Black Ranger

Shade’s eyes continued looking at the figures in the room, each of them slowly moving towards him, the alarms still ringing around him his eyes jumping around the room hoping to find a sign of Ziggy in the chaos.

In the next moment Shade heard them all shout, “Rpm get in gear!” as he saw them transform into their suits. At a glance, he could suit multiple suit colours including, red, blue, yellow, black, white, and brown although some of their movements of them seemed slow and forced.

At the very back of the room, he saw one single green-colored suit, that had two wolf-shaped ears sticking out the top of them, Shade instantly reached out towards the mind of whoever it was. “Whoever this is can you hear me?”

“W-what?” he heard them respond as he recognized their voice.

“Ziggy. If this is you answer me,” Shade repeated his eyes following the figure in the green suit while eyeing up each other figure in the room.

“Y-yeah it’s me.....” he replied.

“Your in a room full of other rangers, who just transformed… with all of you looking like you want to kill me,” Shade states his eyes looking at the figure he had seen in the first tube who was now covered in a blue suit.

“What are you gonna do?” he heard Ziggy ask.

“Likely have to fight you all and force you to stop… sorry in advance,” Shade responded quickly transforming into his standard rider form.

“Don’t worry about it…” he heard Ziggy reply before he saw the rangers charging toward him as he saw Ziggy teleport from the back and above him attempting to swing his axe at Shade’s head, as Shades chain moved to intercept the attack blocking the strike as others struck the rangers around him knocking them back away from him.

“Care to tell me what happened to you Ziggy?” Shade asked as his chains wrapped around Ziggy’s suit squeezing it as it started sparking.

“I…don’t know but they did something to me so I couldn’t get back control of my body I faintly remember when I unconscious was them mentioning something about my heart….”

“Okay. Once your suit breaks I’m going to help you. This will hurt I’m afraid but bare with me,” Shade responds his chain tightly crushing ZIggy’s suit sparks flying from it before it flashed with a green glow falling apart.

As soon as it disappeared Shade could see that Ziggy had a black marking that trailed from his right eye and to his neck with a barcode directly below his neck that had a code below said barcode saying HU-RPM-G1 Shade also noticed a metal plate on the back of the boy's neck.

“What did they do to you!” Shade shouted quickly turning the Roidmude band on his arm as slowdown affected the area around him and he walked towards Ziggy, his hand phasing into the boy's head and chest at the same time as a spark ran through his hands into the two locations quickly reprogramming the implant they had placed in those spots.

“I don’t…know I was strapped to a table they were…. having Jason watch and then I felt a lot of pain and everything went black…” he heard Ziggy reply before seeing a flash of Ziggy on a table fear on his face with two scientists around him and one of them holding a drill near his head the memory cutting short once the scientist pressed the drill against the boys head as Shade heard the echoed screams of the boy.

“Sorry bout this Ziggy, but I’m sending you up out of harm's way while I hand the others,” Shade responds.

“W-what do you mean-” Ziggy was about to ask before he felt Shade’s chains grab onto him and pull him towards the ceiling holding him there as he saw Shade fighting off the other rangers and after a few moments of seeing his father fight he saw the blue ranger creeping up from behind him, “Dad look out from behind you!”.

Shade didn’t have time to react as the ranger struck him in the back sending him flying into one of the nearby tubes on the side of the room, as it suddenly sealed shut trapping Shade inside.

“Dad!” Ziggy shouted as he looked at the tube Shade was sealed shut in as one of the other rangers walked up to the tube and pressed one of the buttons as fluid began to fill up inside it, “Stop what are you doing!” Ziggy shouted again as the fluid-filled the entirety of the tank, Shade’s head then moved to look forwards at the ranger outside before his hand phased through grabbing the ranger by the throat sparks shooting through his entire body as the suit began sparking, as Shade phased through the tube slamming the ranger into the floor with enough force to cause the figure to demorph before chains launched the figure into the air binding him to the ceiling as he had to Ziggy.

Ziggy looked to the demorphed figure before looking back to the floor and seeing Shade begin to dispatch the other rangers, as the second their suits failed they were bound to the ceiling each lying limply after falling unconscious.

This continued for a few more moments until only 6 of the rangers were left which were blue, red and yellow could be seen, assembling a large blaster that was directed toward Shade before they were seen inserting their engine cells into their respective slots as red could be seen placing a yellow car like object into it, the three being heard shouting, “Road blaster!” as they then fired it towards him.

Shade did not have a chance to get clear of the blast as it hit his head sending him flying backwards into another one of the tanks, his armour falling apart as he hit the back of the which just like the last one once again sealed him inside.

The three stayed in place not moving an inch as they prepared to fire another shot from the road blaster, expecting him to come out like he did last time as the black ranger that was with the other slowly inched towards the two and inched his hand towards the console of the tube before slowly pressing his finger against the button as the fluid once again filled the rube the rangers getting clear the second their finger left the button.

Ziggy watched on expecting Shade to emerge from the tube like he did last time until after 20 seconds of waiting he realised that Shade had not moved.

“Dad?” Ziggy spoke with confusion in his voice before he shouted, “Dad get out of there, please!” as he felt the chain binding him and the others begin to loosen lowering them to the ground, Ziggy’s eyes seeing Shade floating in the tube as he reached the ground, his hands against his throat thrashing around.

“No, no, no!” Ziggy shouted as he ran to the tube and banged his hand against it before looking to the console and scrambling to it his hand pressing against any buttons he possibly can as the other rangers began to rush towards him.

“Cmon, there has to be something…” He muttered out fear in his voice before swiping the screen to find a release button, taking the chance he quickly pressed his hand against it before he was grabbed by a brown ranger the button Ziggy had pressed caused the tube to open and the fluid to pour out onto the floor, Shade’s body falling out with it as he lay on the ground his body not moving.

“Dad” Ziggy spoke getting no response, “Dad please wake up!” he shouted clear concern in his voice as he struggled in one of the ranger's grip, tears developing in the boy's eyes.

The black ranger from before slowly walked towards Shade’s body weapon in hand before he was directly in front of him, “Don’t do it” Ziggy could be heard as the ranger raised his weapon towards him before shooting it forward in a piercing motion, “No!” Ziggy shouted as he watched the round strike Shade’s head.

“Dad no…” Ziggy whimpered out as the black ranger stood over Shade’s body in silence before the red ranger ordered, “He’s unresponsive place him back in we’ll have the others bring him back so he can be of use later”

The black ranger nodded in response before picking up Shade’s body and slowly began to place it back into the tube, Ziggy shouted out with tears in his eyes, “No, stop it!” as he wriggled in place trying to get free only for him to be hit in the back of the head putting him into a daze.

The yellow ranger noticed his behavior and spoke, “ HU-RPM-G1’s programming seems to have failed, place him back into his tank and fix it” getting a nod from the ranger that was holding him as they began to drag him towards the tube he was in before the boy quietly saying, “N-no don’t….”.

While Ziggy was being dragged towards his tank, he passed Shade’s vision switching from blurry to clear before seeing Shade’s eyes shoot open with the fluid of the tank he was in immediately began to bubble on the inside.

One of the rangers near the tank noticed this and asked, “ HU-RPM-BL12 you did hit him correct?”.

The ranger in question immediately replied, “Of course I did I saw it hit him”

The ranger then saw Shade’s hand move through the fluid, his belt reappearing on his waist as an Eyecon appeared in his hand moving towards the belt.

“Dad…..” Ziggy muttered as he then saw the rangers beginning to surround Shade’s tank with their weapons out as he faintly heard the ranger from before shout, “ HU-RPM-BL12 contain him!”

“I'm trying nothing’s working!” the black ranger shouted back before a bright white light fell from the sky striking the black ranger's arm his weapon fell from his grasp behind the light as it seemed to create a wall they could all see though, while feathers looked to fall behind it.

The black ranger grasped his arm as the other rangers pushed passed him and attempted to hit the wall, only to find it to be almost solid their attacks bounced off it until they saw a strange figure stand up on the other side the wall.

The figure's body of looked like that of a woman, long hair falling down her back, the group being able to see a single wing on their back, the strange figure not wearing clothing of any kind, as it looked at the tube Shade was in.

“Identify yourself,” The red ranger said towards the figure as he saw their form begin to flicker.

The figure seemed to ignore the ranger before they heard it say, “I have watched you walk your chosen path for a while now, and deem it to fit with my own. If you seek the salvation of those cast aside by the one above like those here. I request you to offer me a vessel to hold my shattered soul. Do this and I will bestow on you my power.”

The group saw the object in Shade’s hand begin to raise of its own accord before a stream of light moved towards the figure, its body rapidly seeming to shirk and move towards the object floating infront of Shade.

The rangers attempted to prevent this from happening but exactly like before their weapons bounced off from the wall, even a shot from the road blaster did nothing to destroy the wall as the red ranger shouted, “Stop them!” only for it to be too late as they saw the strange figure fade and the object in the tube drop into Shade’s hand.

The second it did the wall shattered Shade’s eyes snapped upwards focused solely on the red ranger, a cold chill running down his spine before the glass on Shade's tube began to crack, the boiling water instantly seeping through it while damage began to spread through the tube.

“S-someone stop him!” the red ranger shouted out in a stutter but the other rangers didn’t move from their spots, the cracks growing before suddenly shattering, the bubbling fluid bursting outwards, the fluid covering the black ranger, the visor on his suit shattering from the force of the water, as it burned his face.

The black ranger let out a scream of pain as he fell to the floor and writhed in place his hands on his face as a moment later he demorphed.

Shade then walked out of the tube standing over the demorphed black ranger’s body, still holding the object that fell into his hand before kicking the ranger over to the other his face looking at the group.

The rangers backed up slightly from this action but still held their weapons pointed towards him, with some being seen with their hands shaking.

They then saw Shade click the side of the object as a voice shouted out “Rise up!” an eye-shaped icon appeared above his head, the same light that had created the wall surrounding Shade before seeming to be sucked inwards towards his body surrounding him before disappearing, the same voice as before shouting “Kaigan! Fallen Shade! Kami ni yotte kyasutodaun!” as white feathers fell around the figure.

As soon it stopped the group saw a new armoured figure standing in the place Shade had been moments before. The armour that covered him consisted of a white and black jacket that had white light shining off the back of his legs and wrists. The chains that normally adorned his arms had disappeared being replaced by the light that circled him seemingly of their own accord, as a single white angel wing was seen coming from his back. The most glaring difference to his normal look was the logo on his that now looked to match that of the Cults, but instead of being white, it look to be gold with a black outline making it stand out from the white armour.

The mask over his face seemed tame resembling a simple face the eyes being golden in a colour that gave off a glow like the lights coming from his legs and wrists.

“W-what are you!?” he heard one of the rangers shout towards him.

“Shade.” the figure responds his face raising to look at the group as they saw the mask covering his face was completely white apart from golden features imitating his eyes. The moment the figure looked at the rangers, an almost powerful almost intoxicating aura began to surround them.

The rangers who felt this aura that were afraid immediately lost their will to fight and stood in place with some dropping their weapons with the black ranger who was on the floor slowly standing up from the floor with a blank look in his eyes before regaining himself panic showing on his face as he realized he couldn't move, “W-what did you do to me!?”.

“Remorph and fight the white and brown ones,” Shade ordered not answering the ranger as golden light seemed to move like strings towards the black ranger's body before seeming to fade under his skin.

“Like I would do that” he heard the ranger reply in a mocking tone before he saw him do exactly what he told him to do causing the ranger to look in shock as he remorphed into his suit and turned to the other rangers before taking out his weapon and ran towards them taking some by surprise by this actions as he slashed them caused sparks to go off in their suits while shouted, “What, how are you make me doing this!?”

Ziggy looked on in shock before feeling the brown ranger that had hit him before dropping him to the floor the boy let out a low grunt of pain as he slowly pushed himself off of the ground, as he saw the ranger get slashed by the black ranger knocking it back against one of the tubes.

“I'm sorry I can’t stop myself, my actions are not of my own will!” the black ranger could be heard shouting before he could be seen grabbing the ranger he had hit and throwing them into the tube which sealed shut causing the ranger to hit against the inside of the tube in an attempt to get free, “Someone get me out of here!” they screamed.

“Fill it,” Shade ordered, seeing the visor of the trapped ranger shattered leaving his face visible.

The black ranger brought his hand to console the brown ranger shouting, “Don’t do it, please!” he heard him beg the black rangers hand shaking in place as he heard the other’s panicking before his face showed panic as well before he pressed the button causing the tube to fill up with the fluid fear showing on the brown rangers face once he did.

“I would cancel that transformation and get the mask on if I was you,” Shade suggest to the trapped ranger.

The trapped ranger just panicked as she canceled her transformation before grabbing the mask and placing it over her mouth while the black ranger walked away from the tank shouting out, “Let her out!” before being forced to attack the white ranger and slashing their chest causing their suit to let off spark causing them to demorph and collapse to the floor.

While this happened the red blue and yellow rangers looked at what was happening to see the black continue to attack the other rangers before electing to retreat, running further into the base while they left the others at the mercy of Shade, sealing the door behind them hoping to buy themselves some time.

“Cease your actions,” Shade ordered towards the black ranger who by Shade’s order stopped in place as he looked down at the demorphed ranger with fear on his face.

“Enjoying yourself,” Shade responded with a chuckle that made the black ranger hairs stand on end.

“No why would I!?” the black ranger replied.

“Didn’t think you would,” Shade responded walking towards him, “But I am very much. Think of this as payback for shooting me in the head.”

The black ranger didn’t say anything only have that same fearful look on his face. “Not gonna answer me?” Shade asked smirking as he looked at the white ranger by his feet, “Maybe you’d be happier with a friend to join you like this… maybe this one… or the one in the tube?”

“The hell are you talking about, how are you doing this!?”

“You lost the will to fight me… and now you shall serve me,” Shade leaned in to whisper to the ranger, “And you’ll be like this for as long as we desire you to be.”

“You're crazy!” the ranger replied before he and Shade heard the white ranger let out a low groan as they looked up revealing a woman with pink hair and yellow eyes.

“Hello,” Shade responded looking down at the figure placing a foot on her chest.

She let out a grunt of pain as she looked up at him, “W-who are you?” she stuttered out as she shakily grabbed onto his foot.

“Shade,” he simply responded as the girl felt the pressure on her increase the strange aura getting a lot stronger as his foot remained on her chest.

Fear showed on her face as she stuttered out, “What are you doing, why are you doing this?” fear overtook her voice before she went quiet and Shade removed his foot from her chest, the gold threads merging with the girl's body.

“Kneel,” Shade ordered towards both rangers pointing to the floor by his feet.

The two immediately do what they were ordered kneeling in front of him the two still had looks of fear on their face as Ziggy could be seen walking next to Shade.

“Good boy and girl,” Shade responded with a chuckle as he looked at the two rangers before placing his hands through their chests and placing them on their hearts a white spark jumping into them.

“What did you do to them?” Ziggy asked rubbing the back of his head still feeling the hit from earlier.

“...I don’t actually know,” Shade responds looking at Ziggy, “but… thank you for saving me Ziggy.”

“I couldn’t let that happen to you, I didn’t want to lose you….” Ziggy replied.

“And I owe you big time for doing what you did.” Shade responds smiling as he removed his hands from the ranger's chests.

“W-what did you do?” the black ranger asked.

The white ranger just looked up to Shade giving a look that seemed to ask the same question before Ziggy spoke up, “I think he stopped the stuff the cult did to your hearts, the same stuff they did to mine I think” once he went quiet the white ranger just slowly pressed her hand on her chest.

“If you manage to escape their control they would kill you via a heart attack,” Shade responded, “Now they can’t use it on you… but I could still do it if I see a reason to.” Shade’s eyes focused on the black ranger as he said the last bit.

The black ranger kept his vision to the floor too afraid to look up towards Shade.

“What's going to happen now?” the white ranger asked.

“Well… I will save you all from the cult and bring you back with me… give you a safe home and life to call your own.” Shade responds looking at all the unconscious figures on the ground, before looking back to the ranger in the tube walking towards it.

The ranger looked at Shade with the mask still over her mouth providing herself oxygen in the tube as she looked towards Shade.

Looking at the figure he saw that she was a female hybrid Timberwolf, looking similar to how Ryka did. She had a white coat, with the same colour for her hair and tail.

“Hello there,” Shade responded linking to her thoughts so he could speak with her.

“Who…are you?” he heard her reply

“Depends what you want to be to me. You want to fight me. Shade. You want to be part of my pack as one of my pups. Then I’m your Alpha.” Shade responds, “I can let you choose.”

She went silent thinking over her decision and remembering how it went earlier before replying, “Alpha”.

“Good choice pup.” Shade responded, “Are you going to behave like a good pup for me from now on?”

She gave him a nod from inside the tank, “Yes…I’ll behave from now on”.

“Good girl,” Shade responded looking at Ziggy, “You can reopen this right.”

“Yeah just give a moment” Ziggy replied going in front of the console and swiping through for a moment before pressing on one of the highlighted buttons causing the tube to open up and have the fluid spill out onto the floor.

The hybrid slowly took herself out of the tube and looked to Shade before doing the same thing as the white and black ranger, “I’ll follow what you say without question” they heard her say.

“Good girl,” Shade responds cancelling his transformation kneeling infront of the wolf placing his hand against both her heart and brain reprogramming both implants and pulling his hands away. “There you go all better.”

The wolf in response just nuzzled against him while the white ranger gave her a confused look, the black ranger on the other hand gave an angry one, “Damn traitor!”.

“Silence you,” Shade responded pointing at the Black ranger before clicking his fingers to silence him.

The ranger’s mouth just closed as he attempted to speak the only thing being heard was just muffled protests causing Shade to chuckle at his actions.

He then looked to the white ranger, “anything you want to say to me?”

“I-i’ll behave” he heard her stutter out.

Shade then gestured for her to stand up and come nearer to him and she does, pushing herself up to her and slowly walking towards him, before he wrapped his arms around her, “None of this is your fault. Okay.”

She went wide-eyed for a moment before she began tearing up as she hugged him back a low sob coming from her, during which time Shade reprogrammed the chip in her head.

“Little one. Your mother asked me to find and save you and all your brothers and sisters. I intend to do that okay,” Shade replied rubbing the sobbing girl's head allowing her for the first time in her life to speak freely of her own will, “Do you want to come with me?”

The girl continued to sob before stuttering out, “Y-yes I want t-to go with you” she then hugged him tighter.

“Okay then,” Shade responds before looking at the last conscious ranger in the room. “And then there was one.” She responded clicking his fingers allowing the black ranger to speak.

“Finally!” the black ranger shouted glaring at Shade, “So what are you gonna do with me, you gonna kill me or what?”.

Ziggy just looked at the ranger with a concerned brow, “I wouldn’t say that”.

“Than what?”

“You could just give up and let him help you” Ziggy replied.

“And why should I?”.

“You won’t lose what little control you have left from your body”

The black ranger looked at the two in silence before looking and down and muttering, “Fine….I give up”.

“I’m sorry I didn’t hear you. You’ll need to speak up,” Shade responded holding a hand to his ear.

“I said I give up!” the black ranger replied louder as he looked up towards Shade with a glare, “I give up and I’ll listen to you ok, is that loud and clear enough for you!?”.

Ziggy just glanced at Shade as he asked, “That good enough dad?”.

“It was but due to your attitude I think I will keep the effect active for the moment,” Shade responded coldly, “However you can stand and act of your own accord but any attempt to go against me will force you back into a subservient state until I cancel the order.”

“Fine…” the ranger replied looking away from him.

He then looked at all the unconscious rangers around him before saying to the entire group, “get them all brought over here. I’ll get them all sorted the normal way before we continue to find Dillon.” The last bit is more focused on Ziggy than the others.

“Alright” Ziggy replied as he and the rangers started to pick up and drag the unconscious one’s towards Shade and after a minute or two the unconscious rangers were sorted in a straight line in front of Shade, “There we go,” Ziggy said patting his hands off.

“What are you going to do with them” the white ranger then asked.

“This,” Shade responded walking up to the first ranger in the line and placing his hand into their chest and head like he had with them before they saw a red eye-shaped mark appear on their chest above where their heart would be. “Where with you lot I used fear to take control. This mark does the same thing but through this, I can force actions, bury less desirable traits and keep them docile when needed.”

“So the mark lets you change them how you see fit?” the brown ranger replied.

“It can. I normally use it though as a symbol for those that follow me to know eachother. It’s the same we use for our pack's mark,” Shade responds gesturing to Ziggy.

Ziggy then angled his head to show where his mark was, “Yeah it’s pretty useful when we need to identify one of our own”.

“Interesting” the brown ranger replied before seeing Shade go towards the next ranger, repeating the process as he went down the line.

As he reached the last two figures, he placed his hand on the first of the two, finding them to be a male timberwolf, their body was covered in a light yellow coloured wood with the same colour matching for there tail, they looked to have two scars on their body a large one on the chest that had been covered by a metal place while the second was over their right eye in the shape of a cross.

As soon as Shade’s hand was removed from their head their eyes shot open with a gasp, “N-no!” he heard him scream panic in their voice as they then spoke, “W-what where am I!?”.

“Your safe little one. Your safe okay,” Shade responded his hand around the wolf’s body as his hand phased through their back to deactivate the implant on their heart.

“W-who are you” the wolf stuttered out.

“Before I answer that. Do you remember what happened to you?” Shade asked looking at the wolf with a kind smile, trying to keep the wolf calm.

“I-i was given up to these people by…..my alpha because he thought I held no use to him, h-he discarded me like trash”

“Let me guess. Hex was your Alpha.” Shade replied with an annoyed groan in his voice as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

The wolf gave a nod in response, “Y-yeah how did you know?’.

“Let's just say that Hex… is no longer an Alpha for your pack… and that said wolf is now in a status lower than that of even the youngest pup in my pack,” Shade responded. “And even then… I don’t think he has any desire to be anything close to that anymore.”

The wolf went quiet for a moment before asking, “if you know all this, does that mean your the alpha now?”.

“Yes. I am the Alpha of your old pack,” Shade responded rubbing the wolf’s neck, “and I’m here to save every member of it that I can and bring you all home.”

“Home….” the wolf muttered before saying, “I thought I wasn’t part of the pack anymore from how my old alpha discarded me he did the same with others”.

“Do you still deem him as your Alpha?” Shade asked looking at the wolf.

“No him doing that basically said I wasn’t part of the pack anymore so he doesn’t have any claim to me anymore” the wolf replied.

Shade then rubbed his hand over the wolf's neck, “Do you want me to lay claim to you as my pup and take you as my own?”`

“You would do that?”.

“I would. But you need to agree to behave and follow both mine and my many omega’s orders from here on out in return,” Shade responded, his hand skimming the wolf’s left ear.

“I-i will you won’t get any issues from me I’ll follow both you and them without any fuss” the wolf replied before tilting his head towards Shade allowing him to do what he needed to, “Here do you what you need to”.

“Just to confirm… You agree to me being your Alpha, and for me to mark you as my pup,” Shade asked again his hand behind the wolf's ear.

“Y-yes, yes I do” the wolf replied with hesitance in his voice

Shade paused at this before kneeling in front of the wolf, “before I do… do you have anything that you want to check with me before I do this… I can see you not sure of this just at a glance.”

“How do you treat the members of your pack?”.

Before Shade can answer Ziggy jumped in, “He treats them great and helps them when needed, if it wasn’t for him our home wouldn’t be in the great condition it is now, he treats everyone like family no matter where you come from”.

“Really?” the wolf replied their eyes widened slightly.

“I do make exceptions on that last part. In the case of wolves who do something irredeemable… like Hex’s actions to his pack.” Shade responded, “in his case, he’s currently had his mind and perceptions altered and is bent to the whims of someone I trust… he sees this individual as a goddess and will do anything for her to please her. And I mean anything she desires.”

“Least he’s got what deserved…” the wolf muttered before saying, “I'm sure now, I want to be a part of your pack”.

“Okay then,” Shade replies as he places his hand behind the wolf's ear as his mark appears where his finger had been, “Have you got a name for me to call you by?”

“My name is Theo” he replied.

“Welcome to my family and pack Theo,” Shade responds his hand rubbing against Theo’s newly marked ear.

“Thank you for having me,” Theo said in reply as he could be seen nuzzling his head against Shade’s hand.

“No problem,” Shade responds with a smile pulling his hand away and walking to the last ranger before pausing, “Why does this one look familiar?” He then placed his hand near the wolf's ear pulling it back before stopping as he saw a familiar sight. His own brand.

“Ziggy… it looks like one of our own was stored in these tubes… they have our pack's mark behind their ear.”

“Really?” Ziggy replied.

Shade didn’t stop for long, the wolfs look still bothering him as he failed to place who they were his hand deactivated the chip in their head before they woke up lurching forward as they looked around for a moment before looking at Shade in silence shock before saying, “...Alpha?”.

“I recognize that voice..it’s Fern!” Ziggy then said.

“Yeah, it’s me,” Shade responds rubbing his hand over her neck, “Your okay now.”

“What happened, I remember coming back to the den and nothing else afterwards everything went black”.

“The pack got captured and sent to a lab to be experimented on, I don’t think you were the first one of us that dad had found”.

In response to hearing this Fern just looked at their body and looked at their new hands, “What did they do?” as they looked at Shade.

“They merged your genetics with that of another race… looking at you now. That of a human, just like Ziggy.” Shade responds, “I know they did the same to Ryka, when I found her she was near the end of her changes.”

“Did they do the same with the little ones?”.

“To most of them. Yes. Though not all of them human,” Shade responds, still rubbing Fern’s neck. “But almost all the pack were changed into hybrid races in some capacity, bearly any of us is just a pure Timberwolf now.”

Fern went quiet for a moment before saying, “Is there anything you need me to do, do you want me to go to where the little ones are so I can watch out for them”.

Shade’s hand rubbed her ears for a moment, “If you could do that it would take a lot off my mind.”

She nodded in reply as Shade felt her slowly attempt to stand herself up but once she got to her feet she stumbled slightly causing her to fall back into Shade’s arms, "Could you tell me where they are?"

“It’s hard to believe you were able to be part of a group that almost beat me when you can’t stand by yourself,” Shade responded with a chuckle rubbing Fern behind her ear.

Fern's eyes widened in response as she just let out an embarrassed groan from what he said, as she then muttered “It's not every day where your entire way of moving changes entirely….”.

“And yet you think you could walk down the hall to find a specific room and protect the pups in your state?”

“Had to try at least…” Fern replied.

“I can take her if you want since I'm still out of it I probably won’t be useful in any fights at the moment” Ziggy suggested.

“It might be a good idea… besides if she’s with you you’ll be able to teach her to walk… same with Hato,” Shade points out.

“Fair enough” Ziggy replied with a nod as Fern reached her hands towards his the boy gently grabbing onto it before pulling her up to her feet and placing her arm around his shoulder as he turned his attention back to Shade, “Alright, dad where are the pups at?”.

Shade then directed the two to go towards the nearest room to the left outside of the storage section, “Nearest room to the left got it” Ziggy said with a nod as he and Fern slowly began to walk out of the room Ziggy then shouted, “Good luck dad!” as they then exited.

“I get the feeling I’ll need it,” Shade muttered to himself hearing a lot of pained groans around him as he looked to see the other unconscious figures beginning to wake up as he looked to the other in the room. “Think you lot can help them while I continue to save others?”

“Whatever you say..” he heard the black ranger mutter out but the others just gave nods in confirmation.

“Cheer up,” Shade ordered patting the black ranger on the head.

The black ranger afterwards just gave a smile in response his demeanour changing as he and the others then just walked towards the waking up figures while Shade began to walk to the sealed door that the other rangers had run through.

As soon as Shade left the room he shook his head, “that was not a good session for me.”

“You're telling me. Never thought someone here would be able to knock you down… although I suppose it took them catching your off guard and using a powerful weapon to do so,” Twilight calmly said, “And they did run when they realised that they were all that was left so chances are all three of them are rather weak.”

“Or they had orders to handle something else.”

“Like the alarm. It appears there was some kind of incident deeper into the facility… but I couldn’t find it on my screens, whatever happened is in one of the newer sections of the facility, I don’t have access to.” Twilight calmly says. “Also good news I have found HU-RPM-B1’s location, he’s being stored in the room in the hall, but I don’t know what happened in it, the room has no cameras.”

“I’ll investigate. See if you can find anything about the cause of the alarms,” Shade responds making his way towards the room.

There was no other noise other than alarms as he stepped towards the door before phasing through it, and upon getting towards the other side he saw a scene that made his blood boil.

In the centre of the room was a single bloodstained medical table, blood dripping from it to the floor in a large puddle at the base. It was surrounded by five scientists who were standing around the table with multiple robotic guards surrounding the room.

And the one in between them all was Dillon his body was being modified by the scientist who looked to be rushing to finish, his arms and legs were replaced with metallic ones and his head seemed to have a visor attached to it, but the look in the boy's eyes angered Shade to his core, it didn’t the light it usually had, just completely devoid of any of the humanity that was once there.

“How long til we're done!?” one of the scientists shouted.

“Don’t rush me!” the other shouted back.

“We need to get the other subject back so hurry up!” the first shouted back.

“I would step away from the boy and put him back together if any of you want to keep your heads,” Shade's voice echoed around the room in its dark demonic tone sending shivers down each of the scientist's spines.

One of them quickly turned around and paled upon seeing him, “W-who are you, how did you get in here!?”.

“I’m not in the mood for questions pest,” Shade responds his belt around his waist and twin Eyecon in his hand. “Fix him now, or your all going to be begging for the embrace of death for the rest of your pathetic lives.”

The scientist just backed towards the table and stuttered out, “O-ok we’ll do what you ask just don’t just do anything rash”.

The third scientist had different plans, “Screw that, kill him!” he screamed as he sent the robots to attack Shade.

“You're the first to suffer for the rest of your life,” Shade responded activating the Damned Shade Eyecon as the robots approaching him ignited into flames the blood by the scienists feet rapidly moving towards Shade’s body until he stood above them, red spears of blood hovering around him before they speared the robots each being torn apart, except for one who’s limbs were pinned to the wall.

“Last warning pests… or do you want to find out what happens if you don’t follow my orders!” Shade shouted walking towards them heat radiating off his body as the spears of blood floated above his head, whilst the remaining robot's body began to turn black.

“Just do what he says you idiot!” the first shouted as he picked up the tools he had placed on the table, “we’ll put him back together ok” he then said as the third frantically looked at the dismantled robots and the single remaining one which was now completely black and walking towards Shade.

“Oh no… you decided your fate already,” Shade responded looking at the third scientist as chains grabbed his limbs pulling him towards Shade. The chains pulled the scientist's limbs well beyond where they should have been as he was held infront of Shade’s body the heat from the armour almost burning the scientist's skin.

The robot reached Shade instantly dropping to a knee without a word awaiting some kind of instruction, “Gather any parts of the other robots parts in the room and upgrade yourself after which pile their remains in one place to recover later. Spare any memory chips and keep them safe,” Shade ordered the robot instantly nodding rising to his feet beginning with his task.

All while this happened the third scientist's face just twisted in pain before he let out a scream as he writhed in agony from what was being done to him before he heard something tear from his arm blood running from his body instantly turning into blades like the ones surrounding Shade.

“Where do you want me to start first? Your arms… or legs?” Shade states his intent clear as the scientist saw the blood on his arms beginning to move and sharpen cutting into his skin, drawing more blood from his body to create the crude spears.

The only sounds that the scientist could make were screams of pain before feeling excruciating pain in his arms until the open wounds were burned shut and the tension was released from his limbs allowing his head to fall forwards slightly.

The scientist let out gasps from the pain as he felt his heart rate go at a rapid pace before letting out another scream of pain once he felt pain in his legs.

Shade then forced the scientist's mouth shut using his chain to ensure he couldn’t look anywhere else, “Where do you want me to start? Arms or legs!”

He looked at him terrified before unintentionally glancing down at his legs causing Shade to take that glance as the scientist wanted him to start with his legs, as the spears impaled them both going through the limb multiple times blood pouring from the new wounds before Shade sealed them shut keeping the scientist alive.

“Do you have anything to say to me?”

“I-I’m sorry” he choked out before he let out a whimper while some of the other scientists watched in fear but the first one along with the help of another could be seen slowly reverting the things they did to Dillon.

“What did you do to my son,” Shade asked glaring at the bound scientist. “I would recommend telling me unless you want this to continue.”

The scientist let out a fearful gasp before replying, “We were reinstating the programming we had in place before but we didn’t want him to run again so we decided to replace his limbs with robotic ones so we can turn them off so we can catch him but we wanted to add some newer tech into the mix to make him more useful!”.

“What like,” Shade responds his voice still dark and menacing.

“Like The visor that we added it’s supposed to give the subject better data comprehension and even the limbs who have the capability of forming into blades when they're not used to keep him in place!”.

“Was that all you did?” Shade asked as the scientist felt the chains dig into his arm a bit.

“Yes, YES THAT’S ALL WE DID I SWEAR!”

“Then what about this other subject,” Shade asked taking a sweep of the scientist's mind, “I know you did more to get access to him.”

“It was part of the kid, we noticed he would exhibit different behaviours than how we see him act he would be highly aggressive towards us we surmised that it was a separate entity inhabiting the same body” the scientist replied before continuing “ and one of our colleagues suggested to separate the two and we placed him into a cloned body similar to the kids but made to be slightly older but when we tried to implement control into him, it didn’t work he busted out of his containment he’s still free at this very moment doing who knows what….”.

“Escaping most likely.” Shade responds before punching the scientist along the face breaking his jaw and blood coming from his mouth before being healed, “That for harming both my son at the same time.”

The scientist let out a gasp of pain before Shade turned his attention to the other scientists who backed away from Dillon who looked to be back to normal as he had his original limbs returned to him including the visor that was removed as well, the boy still unconscious as one of the scientist spoke, “O-ok we reverted what we did”.

Shade didn’t look at them for the moment dropping the bound scientist to the ground the chains wrapped around his arms as he dragged him behind him, “And you can promise me he’ll recover from what was done to him.”

“Y-yes, once he wakes he’ll feel some lingering pain but other than that he’ll wake up like nothing had happened” the scientist replied as Shade stopped in front of the table.

“Good… now tell me… have any of your done experiments on Timberwolves today,” Shade asked in an almost calm voice.

“N-no sir we’ve only done modifications for body parts nothing else” one of them stuttered out, “Except for him possibly he gets called to do other things at times” he then added as he pointed to the bound doctor.

“Did he do anything today to the Timberwolves you captured,” Shade repeated glancing at his captive.

“Last I checked just merging human DNA with a few of them other than that no idea”.

“Did you do one today with two scientists called Thomas and Ebony?” Shade asked looking at the bound Scientist.

“I-i was overseeing those t-two earlier before being called here” the bound scientist replied.

Shade didn’t respond as he cancelled his transformation before stamping down on the bound scientist's chest getting a gasp of pain in response Shade looked to all the remaining scientists, “I’m giving you all a choice here. Surrender yourselves to me this instant and you’ll not be harmed. Resist and attempt anything…” Shade stamped down again getting a scream from the scientist below him, “you get the picture.”

“We surrender you’ve made your point very clear” the first scientist replied panic in his voice as the others gave similar responses.

“Good. From this day forth you four serve and work for me. Any objections to this?” Shade stated looking at the four of them awaiting a response.

“N-no objections here sir” The fifth one replied with a stutter.

“Yeah none!” the first added as he and the others backed away from the still unconscious Dillon before the fifth brought out a weapon from his lab coat aiming it towards Shade with the second and fourth scientists screaming out, “What are you doing you psycho!”.

“Put down the weapon do you wanna die!?”

The fifth scientist paid them no mind but before he could pull the trigger he was engulfed in flames, the second and fourth watching in horror as they heard him scream in pain.

Shade left the scientist burning before shaking his head, “those of you that tried to stop him… thank you for trying but it seems he chose his own fate. He’ll still work with you all but after this… well you saw what happened with our robotic friend.”

The robot in question walked back towards the group, his body covered in black metal that looked to now be heavily armoured, with white accents around the sides of the attachments, while his right arm looked to have a gun merged into their wrist while resting on his back was a large black shield with no markings on it. The second he was beside Shade he once again dropped to a knee his head bowed awaiting his next orders.

“W-what's gonna happen now?” the first scientist asked as he and the others glanced at the robot.

“Well… I’m going to make sure my son wakes up. Then save my other son that you all harmed,” Shade responds as the flames burning the scientist began to cease, as they saw the labcoat he wore had been burnt to cinders, his skin had turned black while his eyes had Shade mark inside them, a similar mark burned into his throat.

“What did you do to me….” the fifth rasped out to Shade.

“A punishment,” Shade responded before the new mark on his throat began to glow, “From this day forth you will never raise a weapon against your master, you will be following my order to the letter without question and thoughts that deviate from this path with lead to great physical and mental pain on your part.” The mark then stopped glowing.

The scientist looked like he was about to say something in response but before he could he made sounds of choking as he grasped his throat for a moment before it stopped causing him to gasp out to catch his breath Shade seeing that the scientist was visibly shaken from experiencing that.

“Do we have an understanding now,” Shade responded glaring at the scientist.

“Y-yes sir” He replied, keeping his hand on his throat and going completely quiet.

The other scientists were about to speak but stopped once they heard a low groan from Dillon who slowly opened his eyes only to be blinded by the light that was above him causing him to grunt out in discomfort.

“What’s going on?...” They heard him speak before seeing him attempt to sit himself up only for his hand to slip causing him to slip onto his back again Shade immediately went to the boy's side.

“Careful there Dillon. You are okay now,” Shade responds as he places his arms around the boy.

“Dad?” Dillon spoke looking toward Shade as his vision was slowly starting to go back into focus.

“Yeah, it’s me. Your safe,” Shade repeated carefully sitting Dillon in his lap, “How are you feeling?”

“Tired and a little sore…” the boy replied while rubbing his eyes, “wait…why can’t I hear Jason?”.

Shade didn’t respond as he placed Dillon’s head against his chest, “Dillon… She cult have removed him from you and put him in a new body, hoping to control him as a powerful tool.”

“Then where is he…” Dillon then asked, Shade seeing that the boy's exhaustion was getting to him.

“Dillon… He’s not here… they separated you both,” Shade responds, “I don’t know where he is.”

“Oh…” He heard Dillon say in a saddened tone before feeling the boy lean against him and going quiet as Shade heard him let out low snores.

“You just get some sleep okay,” Shade responded rocking Dillon in his arms.

“Is there anything you want us to do sir?” he heard the first scientist ask.

“You can tell me where to find the head scientist of this place. I have a special kind of hell in mind for him,” Shade responds, his voice returning to its cold state.

“The area he resides in isn’t too far from here you leave this room and continue down the hallway and take a right and you’ll find his office”.

“Okay,” Shade responded walking away still carrying Dillon before pausing, “the four of you… I give you my express permission to use this one for what you were ordered to do to Dillon,” Shade adds throwing the bound scientist to them, “Take as long as you want to make him squeal.”

“Understood sir” the second replied with a nod along with the others as they could be seen approaching the bound scientist, as Shade sat on a nearby seat watching them start.

“Please don’t do this!” he heard the bound scientist plead out as he saw them strap him against the table the chains releasing him as they did this and once they were done the first and fourth could be seen picking up tools that were on nearby

“You can all do whatever you like to him as long as he’s alive after. Think of this as your interviews!” Shade shouted at the four of them

They gave slight nods in response before the fourth could be seen holding an electric saw of some kind in his hands Shade saw him place it against the bound scientist’s arm before seeing him saw into it prompting a scream of pain the scientist then continued afterwards without stopping as screams of agony echoed through the room from the bound scientist.

“Stop please!” they heard him yell out in pain while Shade covered Dillon’s ears so he wouldn’t wake up as he watched them continue h theme saw the bound scientist's arm go limp from separating from his body as the scientist then began to replace that limb with similar robotic ones that they had on Dillon prior.

The bound scientist continued to scream in pain his voice choking up, “N-no more, p-please no more!” as the others were seen going to his other limbs to do the same they had done to his arm.

“I’m sure after your operation is done you’ll understand how everyone you have harmed feels,” Shade responds standing up, “all of you… I’ll come back to see your completed work later. Show me your best!”

“Yes sir!” he heard them reply as they continued working on the bound scientist while he walked out of the room with Dillon and the robot in tow.

While they left Shade heard the bound doctor scream, “No!” before the door closed behind Shade.

“Let's drop you off with your brothers,” Shade responded quickly running back to the room Ziggy had gone to.

Once he arrived he walked inside as he found Ziggy and Hato with the pups and Fern, as they specifically see Ziggy helping Hato and Fern with walking the two struggled slightly but were able to keep themselves up without falling before Ziggy noticed Shade, “Oh hey dad!” Ziggy said before noticing Dillon in his arms with a relieved smile, “Thank goodness he’s ok”.

“You need to define okay,” Shade responded placing Dillon against a nearby wall.

“How is he?” Ziggy then asked as he walked toward the two as he then crouched in front of Dillon.

“Alive and mostly unharmed after some… persuading with a few scientists,” Shade responds before pausing, “but he’s missing someone.”

“What do you-” Ziggy was about to say before stopping himself and asking, “What did they do to Jason?”.

“They said they separated the two, and put Jason in a new body… chances are they want to use him as another weapon as they intended for you and Fern.”

“They can do that?”.

“Dillon said he couldn’t hear him anymore so we have to hope they did do that otherwise it’s more likely that he’s… well you know.”

“Yeah…” Ziggy replied before asking, “I’ll keep an eye on Dillon for the time being so you can take care of the rest and probably find Jason if he’s still even around”.

“Of trust me. I fully intend to make whoever is in command suffer… and maybe deal with those other rangers,” Shade responded with a smile before looking to the robot by his side. “Protect them all.”

The robot simply nodded in response before seeming to focus on the task he had been given.

“I’m going to handle this. Just look after eachother okay,” Shade added looking at everyone in the room.

“We’ll look after each other dad, do what you need to” Ziggy replied with a nod along with everyone else before he left the room without another word.

“What's wrong with Dillon?” Hato could be heard asking as Ziggy responded, “He’s just resting Hato, leave him be for a little bit”.

“Oh ok,” the young hybrid replied as he scooched away from Dillon.

“Ziggy I think I got it this time” he heard Fern before smiling as he saw her standing up on her own and taking small steps, “That’s great Fern you're making good progress,” he said as he stood up and walked towards her.

As soon as Shade left the room he began to run down the hallways looking for anything of note until he skidded to a stop in a hallway finding that there was blood and viscera with multiple bodies of murdered scientists laying on the ground with a majority showing holes in the chests or flesh torn at the neck he also noticed some white rangers but they looked to be only unconscious with some of their visors being cracked.

As he continued to look he noticed the splattered blood and shattered windows to test chambers until he heard someone screaming as he saw one of the scientists crawling from one of the diverging hallways, “Help me please!” they shouted before they were suddenly dragged back with blood splattering on the nearby wall not too long after.

“Why do I get the feeling they did too much on an experiment,” Shade asks himself as he runs towards where the scientist was dragged as he turned to find a figure who was standing over the scientist's body with their hands dripping blood as their body twitched every few seconds it looked like they were about to turn around but their attention was immediately diverted towards the oncoming rangers who began to shoot at them the lights flashing red as they did.

The figure let out a snarl towards the ranger's Shade seeing them hop from place to place before seeing the figure pounce onto one of the rangers and slamming their fist into the ranger's visor shattering it before grabbing onto their legs and slamming them into the other ones.

Once they did that Shade got a glimpse of the figure's face, they looked like an older Dillon and taller almost around Axel’s height but shorter as well as having a wolf's ears and tail, but right when the figure spoke he knew who it was right away.

“IM GONNA RIP OUT YOUR FUCKING SPINES!” He shouted out with a loud snarl the rage could be heard in his voice as the rangers that were attacking him began to fall back running away from the boy.

“YOUR DEAD, DEAD, DEAD, FUCKING DEAD, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!” He screeched, his foot stomping forward as he was about to run after them before he was grabbed by Shade’s chains.

“Jason! Calm down!” Shade shouted as he brought the second set of chains out in front of them pulling Jason further back towards him.

He felt Jason fight back from the chains, the boy was in a blind rage as he let out loud growls, “NEVER AGAIN!” he then shouted as the chains pulled him back again as he felt Shade grab him.

“I promise you, Jason. They won’t get you again, just please calm down,” Shade responded as he wrapped his arms around Jason.

Jason was still frantic as he wriggled against Shade but after a few moments, he began to slow down as Shade heard his breathing go back to normal and relax.

After another moment passes Jason slowly looks up to Shade before whispering, “Dad?” his voice wavering as he looked like he was about to cry.

“Shush, it’s okay,” Shade responds rubbing his neck, “I’m here. Your safe.”

The boy broke down then and there and cried as he tightly held onto Shade, the boy sobbing as he let out a stuttered breath, “I… I thought they got me again, I thought they were gonna hurt me again…”.

“Jason… You do remember what happened to you… right,” Shade asked.

“No, I just remember waking up in a tank and seeing one of those scientists before I blacked out”.

“Look at yourself when I let you go okay? And don’t panic,” Shade said slowly letting Jason go as he took a step back.

Jason looked towards him confused before looking at his body was covered in blood including his hands which were still dripping some of it, “W-what did I do?”.

“From what I saw, went on a rampage and slaughtered the scientists in this place… but it looks like you only knocked out the other subjects they sent after you.”

Jason didn’t reply as he looked around and saw his handiwork as if he was about to throw up before turning his attention to his body a look of confusion then showed on his face, “When did me and Dillon get taller?”.

“...Jason. Don’t panic with what I’m about to tell you okay.”

“W-what happened?”.

“Jason… your not part of Dillon anymore… they captured you and split you and him apart… this is your own body now… a body they want to control for their own means.”

Jason looked towards him with a slightly panicked before Shade saw him take a few breathes, “I-i didn’t think they would know how to do that”

“Neither did I,” Shade responds before looking at Jason, “Jason… do you want me to get the blood off you?”

Jason looked at his body again before giving Shade a quiet nod, as SHade held his hand near Jason's body the blood covering him got absorbed into Shade’s suit until only his bare body was visible. “That better?”

“Y-yeah” Jason responded with a nod as he then asked, “If you found me, you found Dillon too right?”.

“Yeah… I found him and the others… they’ve all been used by the cult in some capacity. Be it turned into mutant creatures or used for other means.” Shade says. “When I found Dillon they were in the middle of experimenting on him. They had removed his arms and legs replacing them with robotic limbs they could shut down if he escaped, and did other things to him as well. Payback for his last escape… or should we say… your escape.”

“So he suffered because of me…”.

“No… he suffered because they didn’t want to take the chance of him escaping again. It looked like they were doing what they did to Marie and the others to him.”

“Of course they were” Jason muttered before he asked, “So what are you gonna do now then?”.

“Capture every last one of them, and ensure their leader goes through hell for the rest of his life,” Shade responds

“Is there anything you need me to do?” the boy then asked.

“Jason… you don’t have your morpher anymore… you are a lot weaker than when you were linked to Dillon.”

“Dad I'm not completely helpless I was able to do all this without a Morpher albeit it was adrenaline driving through it but still I was able to do all this” the boy replied motioning towards his handiwork from earlier.

“And how much longer do you think you can push yourself before you collapse?”

“For as long as I can and If I can’t go any further I’ll stop and fall back so I don’t get in the way” Jason responded as he grabbed a weapon from one of the unconscious rangers' bodies the weapon being a sword.

“If you think you can handle it I doubt I can persuade you otherwise,” Shade responds with a shake of his head as they hear the sound of running ahead of them, “also… try not to kill all the scientists if you can. I’ve been taking a liking to either a quick bite or turning them into servants.”

“I make no promises” Jason replied as he tightened his grip on the sword he had picked up.

“Then at least spare the ones in white armour,” Shade requested, “If many of them get killed she’ll have my head.”

Jason looked towards him confused “Who are you talking about?”.

Shade paused before shaking his head, “It’s not my place to say… just please for my sake do not kill any in white armour.”

“Fine…” Jason replied as the two of them saw multiple rangers round the corner beyond the chain wall.

“Here they come…” Jason muttered as the rangers could be seen coming in their direction.

“Just be careful okay,” Shade repeated before the wall of chains dropped before shooting towards the oncoming rangers knocking most backwards with many of the weaker ones disappearing as they collapsed.

Jason didn’t respond as he rushed towards the other oncoming rangers weaving out of the way of the projectiles before lunging forward towards a small group of the rangers and slamming his fist into one of their stomachs before grabbing onto their arm and swinging them around making them hit the surrounding rangers.

As soon as any of the rangers were knocked out, Shade's chains wrapped around their bodies hoisting them to the ceiling or binding them to a wall, as the chains struck one of the white rangers Jason saw their suit disappear.

The rangers that were left began to retreat like the last ones allowing a reprieve for the two as Jason then looked at the unconscious rangers specifically the ones that were brown and white, “What’s with the brown and white one there definitely not standard and yet there’s so many of them”.

“They have mass-produced your morphers and engine cells, those rangers are their creations… and you can guess what most of the rangers under the suits are,” Shade responded.

Jason just grunted in reply before looking at one of the white rangers whose suits had disappeared before he noticed the colour of their hair, “What the?” before immediately remembering back to what Shade said earlier, “If many of them get killed she’ll have my head.”.

“No….” Jason muttered before going toward the ranger in question and used his hands to open their eyes to see their colour and saw a yellow eye stare back at him causing him to step back as he went into deep thought going quiet.

“Jason… are you okay?” Shade asked walking towards the boy and placing a hand on his shoulder.

“That woman you were talking about earlier, it’s my sister isn’t it?”. Jason asked not getting a response from Shade, “It is, and I guess all those white rangers are supposed to be her kids right?” Jason then said.

Shade tried to look away from Jason, “It’s a bit more complicated than that… but yes most of them are children bred here.”

Jason let out a breath as he clenched his fist, “Let's just go and get this taken care of, and afterwards I want answers alright?”.

“I'll answer what I can,” Shade responds before thinking, ‘Knila… this is your mess to answer for.’

“You know where to go right?” Jason then asked, “If so you can lead the way”.

“I know where the head scientist should be and I can bet all of these are being sent out to protect the coward,” Shade responds looking at the rangers around them.

“Hey, one of them’s waking up,” Jason said pointing towards one of the brown rangers who slowly opened their eyes, the boy’s head tilting in confusion as he then said “Is that a…timberwolf?” once he noticed the ears and tail.

“I have a lot to catch you up on… about everyone,” Shade stated looking at the waking wolf.

As soon as their eyes opened they instantly focused on Jason, as the TImberwolf started growling at him trying to thrust herself forward to bite at him, “I will capture you for the Master!”

Jason gave her a blank look in response as moved away from her, “You probably shouldn’t be focusing on that at the moment”.

The wolf seemed to ignore his words her arm looking to try and reach for her morpher again as the chains tighten the cell falling to the ground below her, “Give me masters gift back! I need it to serve Master! To kill for Master!”

“How about you tell us about your master instead” Jason commented.

“Will not betray Master! You not trick me!” the wolf screamed, “Ordered to protect! Kill any who come after Master and his toys!”

“What do you mean by toys?”.

“His toys… his relief… not yours to take!”

Jason’s hand tensed up, “Relief?” he replied with slightly gritted teeth.

“Relief for Master. Feeds Toys… pleases his toys,” she stated as she looked to lick her lips.

Jason didn’t say anything the next moment could be seen grabbing her face and tightly squeezing it, “Your gonna tell me everything you know and if you don’t I’ll make sure you don’t get to see your precious master again”.

“N-Never betray master. You can’t make me,” the wolf responded with a glare.

“You’d be surprised” He replied before she felt him squeeze tighter.

“Y-You’ll have to kill. I refuse to betray master,” the wolf responds still glaring defiantly at Jason trying to bite him.

Jason just gave a glare of his own before speaking, “Hey dad you can get her to talk right”.

“I could,” Shade responded, “but she would be following me like a lost puppy after… and see me as her master instead, and expect me to do what he does to her.”

Jason took a second to think about what Shade had said before he shook his head out of disgust before asking her, “How does your master feed you?”.

She tilted her head at Jason, a confused look on her face, “at what times?”

“Just answer the question” Jason replied with annoyance in his tone.

“Well… during the day either bowl on the floor or hand if I was good girl. At night… from the tap.” the wolf responded with a smile, “I enjoy at night the most. Pleases Master, calls me a good girl.”

The boy looked at her incredulously before gagging slightly as he let go of her face and backed away from her, “Make it quick”.

“Will do,” Shade responded walking towards the wolf, “This will only take a moment pup.”

“W-What do you mean?” the wolf responded with a grown as she saw his hand reach towards her, panic forming on her face, “No! Only master allowed to touch me!”

“Don't worry. Your master is the one who will be touching you.”

“No! You, not Master! Stay back!” the wolf shouted trying to get free as Shade’s hand touches her head, “No touch Masters spot! That masters only!”

Shade ignored her shouts as his hand rested on her head the wolf screamed at Shade as sparks moved into her head before she went silent drool ran from her mouth as she looked blankly at Jason.

“Don’t worry pup. I’m your master. I’m here.”

“Y-You, master? No not… but are… Master?” the wolf said a conflicted and confused look in her eyes.

“What's going on with her?” Jason questioned.

“You remember the chips they put into you. The thing is being rewired in a way. Any memories link to that and what I need to correct conflict a lot.”

“So her confusion is linked to that thing being rewired and once it's done she won’t show that confusion anymore?”.

“Pretty much… it is kind of hard to change a memory of her being fed a prevented monster's cum each night as a reward and replace that with something that still seems natural to fit.”

“Understandable…” Jason replied as he gave a disgusted shudder.

“P-Please not erase master… I don’t want to forget master's taste. I be goooood. Stop erasing master.” the wolf responded old memories seeming to flicker in her mind before disappearing tears in her eyes as each memory was altered.

“D-Don’t take bone from me, master… I will be good. Let keep bone.” the wolf responded looking be pant like a domesticated dog instead of a vicious wolf.

“At least it’s better than the alternative” Jason commented.

“Please master… let me play with the pink-haired pets again.” the wolf responded in an almost happy tone, “I enjoy the time with your pets.”

Jason in response to hearing this just tensed up before backing away from the wolf.

“The big blue male is the best,” she added seeming to moan a bit at the thought.

“That's not one I can do anything with… looks like a large muscular human with a bear helmet on fed her once for the head scientist as a reward.”

“Flynn…” Jason muttered, “anything else that needs to be changed for her or is that it?”.

“Almost done,” Shade responded as Jason saw some of her coat start to turn black with red flecks in them, the wolf letting out a faint moan, “That it master. Fill me with your essence. I’m all your master.”

“Ew…” Jason could be heard saying with a groan in response to her saying this.

“Trust me, burning these memories are worse than hearing her comments,” Shade responds as Jason sees a small clear puddle forming below the wolf faints drips being heard with the inside of her legs looking damp.

“She may or may not be replacing some of the more… pleasurable memories and linking them to keep her mind together… so yeah it’s weird.”

Jason didn’t say anything in response only backing away from the wolf just so he doesn’t step in the puddle by accident.

The wolf's head then fell forwards before she opened her eyes letting out a moan, “Master Shade… what can I do to please you today.”

“Answer my son's questions,” Shade ordered getting a nod from the wolf who looked at Jason.

“Tell me about the head of this place” Jason then asked.

“He is in the room ahead, uses the best subjects as his personal guards… and the best females and his personal pets. He likes to watch the screen on ongoing tests to see other creatures suffer… he enjoys watching pain or watching others fulfil their deepest desires with unwilling victims..”

“How long had that been going on for?”.

“A year. He took control a year ago. He enjoys the feeling of a dog against him. The younger the better”

“Oh yeah, I just know I'm gonna enjoy making that guy suffer” Jason spoke.

“How many guards does he have now?” Shade asked.

“He has 10 with him at all times. Currently has his big three with him. HU-RPM-BL1, HU-RPM-R1 and HU-RPM-Y1. The rest are 2 black suits, 3 whites and 2 brown. He keeps one of the browns on his lap at all times.”

“Of course he does…” Jason muttered before he asked, “Is there any way to catch him off guard in that room?”.

“Wait till release and he changes pet,” she responded. “He has 10 pink hairs that serve his other needs. He never leaves the room. One entrance and dog door for pets”

“Alright…what do you think dad?” Jason asked Shade glancing at him.

“I think however we get in… I’m going to end up seeing someone I care about getting played with like a toy, for his enjoyment. If only we had more help to handle them all”

The two then heard footsteps behind them as Shade saw Hex, Knila who was wearing her mask, and AS-001-SH1.

“Lord Shade. I apologize for being so late,” AS-001-SH1 quickly said as they reached them Shade released the wolf as she instantly crawled to Shade rubbing up against his legs.

Hex just looked towards the wolf with a brow raised while Knila just looked at Jason in silence before the boy noticed, “What are you looking at me for?”.

The woman just shook her head in response before turning her attention back to Shade, “Do you require our assistance?”.

“We do. The head scientist is ahead with a lot of guards… and his personal pets as this one by the feet calls them.”

“Yes master Shade, he has a lot of pink-haired pets with him,” the wolf responded sounding distant in her voice as he continued rubbing up against Shade's legs.

Knila just clenched her fist in response to hearing this Jason noticed this for a moment before turning his attention back to Shade, ‘So what's the game plan?”.

“With the 5 of us we should be able to handle them if we catch them unaware,” Shade responded.

“Six master. I’ll fight for you master,” the wolf at his feet added.

“Correction six of us, so how should we go about this then?” Jason commented.

“You only can attack head-on. There is only one door to his lab,” the wolf added again.

“So we have no choice but to use the front door on this?” Jason asked.

Jason got a nod from the wolf, “pretty much. They love to protect him… it’s both trained and bred into them by now.”

Knila and Jason both just clenched their fists in response with Knila letting out a frustrated sigh from under her mask with Jason saying, “Yeah I want to rip that guy's head off…”.

“You may want to… but I want him alive so he can suffer for a long time,” Shade responds with a shake of his head, “He’s ahead right pup?”

“Yes, master! The next turn at the end of the hall!” the wolf responded her tail wagging excitedly.

Hex just looked bewildered from seeing the wolf act like this before turning to AS-001-SH1 and asking “Do I act like that with her?” as he pointed to Knila.

“Do you want the honest answer?”

“I'm probably gonna regret this but yes”.

“From what I have seen… not that far gone… yet,” AS-001-SH1 responded looking at Knila.

Hex had a blank look on his face for a moment before replying, “Thanks for being honest”, as he saw the wolf rubbing up against Shade yet again, visibly able to see the fluids dripping down the inside of her legs.

He just looked towards the wolf in silence not sure of what to say before hearing Knila say, “As long as you behave Hex you won’t end up like that”.

“U-understood” He then shuttered out

“Let's do this” Jason they then heard him speak as he began to walk ahead.

“Just be careful you lot,” Shade said before creating a link between them keeping Jason out of it, “keep an eye on him, he’s running on adrenaline alone.”

“Does he know?”.

“I think he’s close to knowing … he saw one of your girls, and I told him ‘She’ would kill me if anything happened. He’s connected most of the dots and wants answers soon.”

“I’ll tell him once this is over with, it’s the least I could do” Knila replied as she looked to Jason who continued to walk ahead of him, “I wouldn’t blame him if he’s angry at me right now….”.

She then looked back at the bodies she and the others passes by when getting there before asking Shade, “I take it those bodies are Jason’s doing right?”.

“Yes, they are. He was in a frenzy when I found him. I arrived just after he ripped one of the scientist's throats out,” Shade responded as they rounded the corner, finding it filled will many rangers standing there. Most of them were in white armour.

Jason let out a low breath as he brought up the sword in his hands and angled the blade near his waist.

Shade’s eyes quickly looked at the rangers ahead of him before his chains shout past Jason’s body knocking down all the white rangers ahead of him slamming them against the walls and binding them in place, their heads falling forwards as their suits disappeared revealing most of them to be Knila’s children.

“........” Jason just looked at them in silence before he stepped past them with the other’s not too far behind him with Knila looking at all the white rangers in silence while she walked past them.

A moment had passed while they did this and afterward the group was in front of a door the group did not say anything for a moment before Jason asked the wolf, “This is the door right?”.

The wolf went to respond before Jason heard what sounded like a moan from behind the door as a voice was heard shouting “Please master! Deeper! I want you inside of me!”

They could hear the boy let out a snarl in response to hearing this before seeing a large metal door with no lock infront of them, besides it being what looked to be a keypad and microphone beside it.

“Needs a code and something to do with voice, any idea how to get passed it?” Knila asked.

“Sorry his pets were always taken in himself, and let out when he wants to take them out,” the wolf responded.

“Oh great” Jason muttered with a roll of his eyes.

“Come to master HU-SLT-5. Come and give me more pets!” a gruff voice responded. “And TW-SLT-65391. Prepare me.”

“NO! I will not let anyone touch me! A-Alpha save me please!” they heard an almost familiar voice scream.

“This is why I have Spark break the sluts on camera for me first. So disobedient. HU-RPM-R1 please get her in position. I think she’ll learn quicker on my lap and stuffed full to the brim.”

“N-No!” the voice screamed back again.

“Yes sir…” they heard another voice respond with Jason and Knila recognizing it as Jason muttered, “A-adam”.

“Stop struggling slut! Fine then! HU-RPM-BL1 help him! I want her impaled in one single go! Push her down if needed!” the loudest voice shouted his voice sounding furious. “The pain should drill it into her considering she’s dry!”

“No!” the female voice shouted, “Alpha! Dad! Please save me!”

“Understood” another familiar voice spoke, as Knila muttered, “Flynn”

“Wait… Snow?” Shade said to himself his eyes going to pinpricks, “If they harm her they're all going to suffer!”

“Dad if you want to stop this phase through or something and have someone else let us through!”

Shade seemed to have not heard his response as he ran through the door, before summoning his pistol and shooting the lock on the other side the door opening instantly.

He then turned to find the room covered with girls that looked identical to Knila, their limbs bound to the wall with chains, many with swollen bellies clearly late into their pregnancies while others with thick white liquid dripping to the floor.

In the center of the room was a white unicorn, who was sitting naked in a chair, as a pink-haired girl sat below his chair her mouth licking the area around him clean, while two rangers one in red armour and another in Blue armour looked to force a still normal Snow down onto his cock biting and kicking the rangers.

“NO! NO! Let me Go! SHade! Dad! Anyone Help!” Snow screamed, her eyes shut not seeing the door having opened as both rangers' heads turned towards the door, but not having time to react as Shade punched them both in the head sending them to the floor his chain grabbing now and throwing her towards Jason with his chains.

“Who the hell is-” the head scientist began to shout before being cut off as Shade punched along his face blood splattering to the floor, as he shattered the unicorn's jaw, but continued his strikes each one knocking the Unicorns head to the side until the last stuck his horn as it shattered shortly being followed by an ear-piercing shriek.

Jason caught Snow when she was tossed towards him but went quiet once he brought her to her feet and looked at what was in the room itself.

“Stop h-” the scientist tried to order the rangers around him but never finished his sentence each time he spoke getting another strike to the face

“Must protec-” the red ranger had spoken about to stand himself up before he and the blue ranger were knocked back down and pinned by Hex and Knila respectively, “You're not going anywhere”

“What type of sick monster would do this…” Jason had spoken as he walked forward and saw the head scientist's handiwork, it made his stomach turn before seeing what looked to be younger-looking hybrids with swollen bellies as well as the boy let out a growl as he began to walk towards where Shade and the scientist were, finding the scientists face to have caved under Shade’s strikes.

He then stopped before holding his hand out to the scientist's face beginning to reform to the state before Shade had begun striking him, his horn still missing, before punching him again muffled screams coming from the scientists after each strike. “You! Will! Never! Touch! My! Family! Again!” Shade shouted each word matching to a punch to the head scientist's face, an almost feral animalistic look in Shade’s eyes as his transformation ended, and Jason saw Shade’s face.

Jason's face at that moment stayed unchanged as he looked at Shade’s face. As blood spattered from the scientist's face covering both Shade’s hands and face.

“Dad you said you wanted him to suffer, so don’t go too far with that we don’t want him to die on you,” Jason said to Shade.
.
“Oh this won’t kill him,” Shade said his voice growling like a rabid dog, “but he’ll wish it did,” he added still striking him as he spoke before pulling back and reforming his victim's face a second time.

“S-Stop h-him H-H-H-” the scientist began to try and say before being punched in the groin by SHade letting out a high-pitched scream.

“You want a couple hits on his body… anywhere you like,” Shade responded his voice cold and heartless.

Jason just smirked in response as Shade saw the boy stomp his foot onto the scientist's leg a loud snap is heard followed by a scream as the head scientist began to writhe in pain.

“How’s it feel to be on the other end of it, unable to do anything to stop it?” Jason spoke to the scientist, “I doubt it feels good but I could care less”.

“W-W-Who… A-Are you?” the head scientist said through his pain as Shade punched him in his groin again causing another scream from the victim.

“My name is Jason, but some of you know me as HU-RPM-B1” Jason replied before pressing his foot into the scientist's leg hard prompting the scientist to writhe in pain.

“You have no idea how long I wanted to do that, how’s it feel to be taken down a peg?” Jason said with a sadistic smile as the Red and Blue ranger continued to try and break free of Hex and Knila who in response slashed their suits causing sparks to come off from their respective suits and having them demorph.

“Take their morphers,” Shade ordered seeing some rope at the side of the room, “and bind them so they can’t move.”

“Yes Lord Shade,” AS-001-SH1 responded walking to where the rope was and bringing it to KNila and Hex.

Knila and Hex then propped the two they were pinned to the floor against the wall as they grabbed the rope from AS-001-SH1 and tied the two demorphed rangers together and took their morphers from them, “Alright that's taken care of” Hex commented as Knila could be seen making sure that the rope was fastened properly.

“Yep all done” Knila then said as she handed the morphers to AS-001-SH1, “Hold onto these” which he took placing them into a slow that appeared in his legs, which quickly closed ensure the bound ranger couldn’t get them back.

“Thank you,” Knila said as she and Hex stepped away from the two, “You’ll be taken care of soon don’t worry” She then said to the demorphed rangers before turning her attention back to Shade.

“I think it’s time for the main event,” Shade responded healing the head scientist's injuries again. Before a familiar collar appeared in his hand.

“N-no more… no more.” the head scientist tried to say through his tears.

“You didn’t stop when the others begged why should we?” Jason replied.

“I-I’ll never do it again. Stop… I’ll disappear… you’ll never see me again.” The scientist said with fear in his voice.

“Well you’ll never do it again that's true,” Shade responded before forcing the collar around his neck and stepping away, “On the floor slave!” Shade ordered before the head scientist instantly fell from his chair to the floor.

“W-What did you.” he began to say before being cut off.

“Silence!” Shade shouted as his orders were followed with a terrified look on the scientist's face. “Jason… you have any requests for him?”

“Hmm….none that come to mind at the moment any suggestions?”.

“Hmm… not myself, any of you got one… or should the one who has direct experience tell the new toy about his outfit?” Shade asked looking to Hex.

The scientist looked at the group with fear in his eyes, before Shade chuckled, “You can speak.”

“What do you mean by a new toy!” the scientist shouted fear still in his voice.

“Exactly how it sounds like,” Hex replied as he walked up to the scientist and tapped his collar, “This collar will make it that you will follow orders no matter what, you don’t get a choice you don’t get a say, you just do”.

“Like Tartarus it does!” the head scientist shouted trying to get to his feet but being unable to even move a muscle. “Why can’t I get off the floor!”

“As I said before when you're given an order when you have that collar on you will follow it even if you don’t want to”.

“And it remains active till I say otherwise. So enjoy crawling on two knees like a pet for a long time!” Shade response.

“Let me go now!” the scientist shouted glaring at Shade.

“You really think he’s gonna listen to you, don’t make me laugh” Jason replied with a smirk.

“Oh. You're not going anywhere… my new pet…” Shade said clearing his thought before smirking, “From this day forth you will follow any order given to you by my family. You are a tool to be used by them as they see fit. Any order given by my family holds as much weight as my own.”

“N-No! You can’t be serious! Like Tartarus I’ll follow any of your commands like that!” the head scientist screamed.

“Jason… do you have an order for your new toy?”

The boy only smiled before saying to the scientist, “Zip it” causing the head to go silent.

“Lay down” he then said to the doctor following the order before he said, “Roll over” as he did what he was told a panicked look on his face, ‘Good boy!” Jason then said in a mocking tone.

“Thank you, master,” the scientist responded in a blank tone before sobbing, his hands remaining pinned to the floor preventing him from covering his face, as tears began to form in his eyes.

“Was that so hard?” he heard the boy say before feeling him pat his head.

“P-Please stop,” the scientist responded through his sobs.

“A-Alpha… Can I do something?” Snow asked walking towards Shade.

“Depends what it is,” Shade responded.

“I want to take something he used to almost harm me.” Snow responded, “I could use a bite.”

Shade paused for a moment before smirking, “Hex, would you like to join her? He has two on offer.”

“I think I’ll pass for this one I’ll let her do what she wants to him” Hex replied.

“Okay then,” Shade responds as he sees Snow walk towards the scientist, “Roll onto your back and spread those legs then stay.”

The scientist looked to try and fight back as he did what Snow told him to, “you wanted to use this to make me suffer… I think you would be better without it. Don’t you?”

“N-No stop, Don’t do that!” the scientist responded with a panicked look on his face as he looked to try and move his body as snow positioned her mouth next to one the of testicles.

“I thought you liked us here. I’m sure a small bite won’t be any worse than us sucking them,” Snow responded opening her mouth and pulling one of the swollen orbs into her mouth before biting down and pulling a blood-curdling scream coming from the scientist as she yanked it free a loud popping noise is heard as she bit into it before she swallowed what she had taken.

“Alpha please stop him bleeding out,” She requested with a bloody grin as the missing part was seared shut, and she moved to the other orb.

Jason and Hex meanwhile just winced after seeing this transpire with the boy immediately placing his hands over his crotch, “Yikes…” Hex then muttered out.

“Sure neither of you want the other!” Snow asked looking at Jason and Hex.

“Yeah, I'm sure!” Jason replied with Hex giving a quick nod in response as well.

“Your loss,” She responded quickly tearing the other one free and walking infront of the wailing Scientist, “Open your eyes,” She ordered as the scientist did so unwillingly as he saw what was in her mouth as she bit into it before swallowing, “I’m sure you’ll never miss them.”

The scientist didn’t respond just lying in place as he shook in pain as Shade healed the missing parts, as Shade said, “I’m sure you’ll get used to the wolves taking a few bites,” as the scientist continued crying now louder than before upon hearing Shade’s statement.

The others just watched in silence as they heard the scientist, none of them felt bad for him but it definitely had Jason and hex slightly shocked from seeing it with Knila doing the same.

Snow then walked away a happy smile on her face as she walked up to Shade rubbing up against his leg, “Thank you Alpha.”

“No worries,” Shade responded as a leash connected to the Scientists collar, “now… we better help everyone here… while I deal with our two rangers.”

He then walked towards both bound rangers passing the leash to AS-001-SH1 who took it with a smile before Shade knelt in front of the two of them, “You two got anything to say to me?”

The two didn’t say anything in reply as they looked at him blankly as Jason said, “Flynn, Adam what the hell did they do to you both….”.

“Why not ask the new toy,” Shade points out smirking

Nodding Jason then turned to the scientist, “What did you do to them?”.

The Scientist tried to look away before his own body forced him to look towards Jason before saying, “We had their consciousness put very deep so they wouldn’t be able to fight back from the order’s basically locked them in their head, essentially what we had done to HU-RPM-P1”.

“So you locked them up in their own head!?” Jason shouted in anger before taking a breath, “Now is there a way to reverse this or are they stuck like that?”.

“Why would we engineer a way to reverse the programming,” the scientist responded, “I mean if it could be stopped its defeats the purpose of doing it.”

Jason just growled before going into thought before remembering what Shade did with the wolf earlier, “Dad with what you did with the wolf earlier could you do something to get them out of this state?”.

“I doubt it! I mean your dear sister is still my toy! Just one hour ago she let herself be bred like a common animal. It was her who gave me all the wonderful toys around the room… well all the human ones that is. You can’t free her! And you can’t save them!”

Jason didn’t give any more time to speak as he ran up and kicked him in the stomach the scientist rose into the air for a moment before flying into a nearby wall, “Shut your mouth about my sister you sick bastard!” Jason growled out, Shade seeing the same look he had earlier started to show.

“Jason… don’t,” Shade responded placing his hand on the boy's shoulder.

The boy just let out a low growl before he stopped clenching his fists as he then heard, “He’s wrong about that happening to me you know”.

“What?” Jason said as he turned towards Knila with a glare which then turned to wide-eyed shock once she took her mask off, “Knila?”.

“Y-yeah it’s me….surprise” She replied while walking towards him as she saw his face turn to a whole range of emotions before settling on anger.

“Where the hell were you huh!?” he shouted as he pushed her back his sister's eyes widening in response, “Here I am thinking of the worst when you were ok, how long?”.

“What?”.

“How long were you safe and didn’t try to come and see me huh!?” he shouted.

“Five days,” Shade responds. “She has been free of them for only five days.”

“I was scared that hated me after what happened in the arena” Knila spoke.

“Hated you?” Jason looked at her in disbelief, “I would never hate you, I wouldn’t put anything over you. You’re my only blood family left, you’re my sister, our dad passed away and our witch of a mother not too long before, your all I have left, yeah I’d be angry with you, but I would never hate you, your damn near more of a mom to me than our actual mom!”.

“You’re not that far off on that one” She replied before she saw him look at her confused, “....What?”.

“Technically I am your mom…”.

“I'm sorry, please explain!” Jason shouted.

“When we were displaced your body was too damaged to make the trip so I made a deal with the one who saved us by giving up my unborn child to bring you back, the body you were in before wasn’t your original one”.

“So let me clarify, you're telling me by you making that deal, Dillon and by proxy me, since I'm in a clone of his body are your sons?” Jason replied.

“Y-yeah…” Knila replied with a sheepish smile.

“I would say that's not the strangest thing I've heard but I’d lying if I did” Jason replied in a mutter.

“How in Tartarus are you free slut!” the scientist shouted in anger as he looked at Knila.

“Didn’t I tell you to shut up!” Jason shouted back towards the scientist who also saw Knila flip him off, “Your new master freed me from that, albeit I have two voices in my head that annoy the hell out of me though”.

“H-He freed you,” the scientist stuttered out his head moving to look at Shade, “Don’t you dare! Don’t you dare mess with them!”

“You really think you have any control in this situation, don’t make me laugh!” Knila commented.

“Actually I have a better idea. I will deal with them in a bit but I think this toy needs breaking in a different way,” Shade responded, getting an anxious look from the scientist, as he took the leash back from AS-001-SH1, “But for now… Knila, check on your kids he has here, the rest of you check on the wolves, some of them look way too young to be carrying pups safely.”

The others just nodded towards him and walked to the pups with Knila going towards her children.

Shade then looked down the scientist, as he said “And very soon… I’ve got a special test for you to do,” the scientist could only gulp in fear lowering his head out of fear of what was to come.
