NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 23: Jungle Fury Series
(Zayne's POV)
I had a wonderful evening. It was weirdly relaxing to actually talk to someone who had a lot of interests similar to you. It helped calm my mind a lot, away from the catastrophe that is bound to happen and my responsibility in stopping it. Well, it's Kira. To be honest, as a teenager in my former reality, I always fantasized about being friends with the rangers. Now, it's a dream come true.
As I unlocked the door to my house, I laid on the couch and took a deep breath, muttering, "Well, that was relaxing."
But then again, I wonder why my past self never took the initiative to make friends with the rangers. It might be because our memories haven't merged, so he had no idea who they were or what reality he was inhabiting.
After contemplating and reviewing today's gains, I focused fully on the rewards I got—especially the new Red Jungle Fury Ranger form and the new "Spirit" energy stat on my status page.

"Woah, my status looks more informative than before. Hmm, what's the Jungle Fury series? Didn't I only get the red form?" I muttered to myself.
"Grid, activate the Jungle Fury series," I said to the grid.
[Affirmative]
[Ding]
[Jungle Fury series unlocked]
[Congratulations master, you have gotten all three primary forms of the Jungle Fury series]
"Woah, chill out! Do you actually mean I can access the Red, Blue, and Yellow forms of the Jungle Fury Rangers?" I asked the grid, shocked by the sheer absurdity of the reward.
[Affirmative master. Whenever you unlock any initial ranger transformation, you get the opportunity to unlock the series. The primary colors of the rangers on the grid would be rewarded to you.]
My eyes widened in shock as I muttered, "That is actually good."
[The transformation data has been downloaded on your Omni-Morpher, master.]
"Sick!!!!" I yelled a little as I raised my fists over my head.
I planned to test it out immediately.
"Grid, isolate the area. I don't want any disturbance."
[Affirmative master]
After relaying the command, I felt an invisible barrier sweep over the area. It was undetectable—the only reason I could feel it was because I ordered the command.
I equipped my Omni-Morpher, focusing on the Jungle Fury Red form, and called out—
"Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleash!!"
And like that, time slowed as I was transported to the spirit realm of the Grid. A massive red tiger emanated from my soul as it covered my body entirely, its form radiating predatory intensity. As time resumed, the Red Ranger Jungle Fury form was revealed—its form like a man and a tiger combined. Its sleek gloves and boots thumped silently on the ground. The three-claw Pai Zhug Academy logo at the chest now had a star-shaped circle around it with a parallel line running through it, signifying its connection to the Omni-form.
In this form, I felt connected to nature. It felt so weird… yet so right. I could tell this form was slightly stronger than my Omni-Ranger form.
"Damn, it feels exhilarating. Feels like I could fight for days." I punched the air twice, hearing the sound of air tearing—and my TV breaking.
CRASH!!
"Shit!!" I yelled, rushing forward to see my now ruined television.
"Dammit, that's what I get for being careless. I'll have to buy a new one," I grumbled, rubbing the back of my head.
I turned back to my Grid status and checked the new updates.
[STATUS BOOST – JUNGLE FURY RED FORM ACTIVATED]
+10 to all stats while transformed.
Bonus affinity with Spirit-based techniques and martial arts.
"Okay, this is way better than I expected. This form is crazy strong," I muttered as I flexed my arms. "I might just keep this on standby for emergencies."

General Ross' Base
Thunder cracked above the hidden military base as General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross stood in front of a large holographic screen showing footage of the Hulk rampaging across a forest range.
He slammed a fist against the control panel. "Damn it! He got away again!"
"Sir," a soldier approached nervously, "the Hulk tore through three layers of reinforced titanium plating. We didn't stand a chance."
"I don't want excuses. I want results," Ross barked. "Prep the squad. Get me everything—tranquilizers, gamma nullifiers, and neutralizing alien tech. I want Banner in a cage, not on the run!"
The soldier saluted and rushed out.
Ross turned to his private monitor, pulling up a classified document marked "SPD – LEVEL 8."
"The direction of his movement is New Tech city. If SPD gets wind of this, they'll take him. I can't let them interfere. This is my operation. MY asset," he growled.
Ross stared out the window, face grim. "This ends now."

Forest Outside Angel Grove
Tommy Oliver stood alone in a deep part of the forest, bathed in golden sunlight filtering through the trees. In his hands were three glowing Dino Eggs.
A soft wind rustled his hair under the hood of his green jacket. He gazed down at the eggs with a gentle smile.
"The kids would sure love their new ride," he said, brushing off some dirt from one of the shells.
Each egg pulsed with dormant energy—one red, one blue, and one yellow. Their time hadn't come yet, but Tommy knew the world was changing—and so he had to make sure the rangers are strong enough for whatever comes.
He looked up toward the horizon. "Just hope they're ready."
To be continued...
