Dotty seemed to dance through her slumber, strange faces and places waltzing before her eyes. She seemed to struggle awake and found herself in a strange tent. [color=6ecff6]"Poodlewolf?"[/color] She called. She then saw a pet look around at her. A tall woman in a yellow shirt and had long, brown hair. She was... Possibly beautiful, Dogs were a poor judge of human beauty. She yawned and stretched as the woman walked over to her. [color=6ecff6]"Where's Han?"[/color] She asked. The woman knelt down next to her bed. [color=fff200]"Well, hello."[/color] She smiled. [color=fff200]"I'm afraid i don't know a Han. But i'm Jane Porter"[/color] She replied. [color=fff200]"Was that the name of that rather grumpy individual who dropped you off?"[/color] She asked. Dotty was about to confirm this, but then remembered about Han being in disguise at the moment. [color=6ecff6]"Y-... No, his name is Taivas."[/color] She said, not very convincingly. [color=fff200]"Oh, Taivas. Very odd name, but then again, Tarzan tells me that Mr Clayton is a very strange name to him. So, is that a London Accent i hear?"[/color] [color=6ecff6]"Oh yeah, i'm from Camdon."[/color] She replied. [color=fff200]"And Mr Taivas is... Your Father?"[/color] Jane asked. Dotty smiled, bit her lip, then began snickering, before fell back into the bed laughing maniacally. [color=6ecff6]"DON'T ME WEEEEEIRD!!!"[/color] She laughed maniacally. [color=6ecff6]"Oooh dear... Nah, my dads name is Doug, he's a Fireman."[/color] [color=fff200]"Oh, brave man then. My father is..."[/color] She looked around and huffed. [color=fff200]"Probably out looking for the Gorilla's, i do hope he's ok with all of these shadow monsters around."[/color] [color=6ecff6]"Shadow monsters?"[/color] She asked, suddenly stopping laughing, her head shot bolt upright and then looked around. [color=6ecff6]"POODLEWOLF!!!"[/color] She yelled. [color=6ecff6]"GET YOUR BIG BROODY BUTT IN HERE! WE GOTS HEARTLESS!!!"[/color] Jane looked utterly confused by this. [color=fff200]"Is... Poodlewolf some kind of pet?"[/color] She asked. [color=6ecff6]"Don't be silly, you're the pet."[/color] She replied, matter-of-factly. Jane frowned, assuming that to be some kind of insult. [color=fff200]"I will have you know i'm just as capable in this jungle as any man. Why, the other day, i escaped a horde of rampaging baboons."[/color] She crossed her arms. Dotty was now the one confused by that comment. [color=6ecff6]"Well, of course pets are capable."[/color] She replied, getting out of bed and running over to the tent entrance. She pulled back the flap and looked out. There didn't seem to be any Heartless around at the moment. [color=6ecff6]"POODLEWOLF!!!"[/color] She yelled, angrily. She then rolled her head around letting out a long, annoyed sigh. [color=6ecff6]"Ugggh, he's probably on one of his broody mountaintop grumbles."[/color] She growled. **** Deep in the jungle, elsewhere, Master Phant stood watching Zen-Aku perform his Kata. With every movement of Zen-Aku's body, Phant seemed to either nod or shake his head. He then jumped out in front of him, striking a mighty pose, arms held aloft, before striking forward with both arms, then jumping, backflipping and bringing his foot down with a mighty boom. He then looked Zen-Aku in the face [color=82ca9d]"The Wolf style is about swiftness, about surefooted strikes."[/color] He struck his first Kata pose. [color=82ca9d]"From me, you will learn the Elephant style. Power, strength, brute force."[/color] [color=bc8dbf]"Everything one thinks of about the elephant."[/color] Zen-Aku responded, before striking the pose. Master Phant then quickly grabbed his arms and corrected the posture a little. [color=82ca9d]"But tempered by wisdom."[/color] He replied, striking the second pose. Zen-Aku transitioned into the next movement. [color=82ca9d]"A Rogue Elephant is a terrifying force, but without those around to support him, he's but a single boulder rolling down a hill. Ended by the first wall he runs into.[/color] He then struck the next pose and watched as Zen-Aku transitioned again. He shook his head. [color=82ca9d]"No, those are the movements of the wolf. Cautious and ready for anything. The elephant moves with certainty. There is NO creature in this jungle that would dare attack the Elephant."[/color] He guided Zen-Aku's arms as he went through the Kata another time. [color=82ca9d]"Better. Again. More certainty. You are a Duke Org, the very top of the food chain. No creature is going to attack you. So show your certainty!"[/color] He demanded. Zen-Aku ran through the kata again and again. [color=82ca9d]"You learn quickly."[/color] He then extended his hand out and the same ball on chain that the Dream Eater from before had. He began slowly twirling it. He then motioned for Zen-Aku to try again. [color=82ca9d]"Tell me, have you ever heard of the Power Rangers?"[/color] He asked. A twinge of pain seemed to resonate through his skull, like a migraine that only lasted a few seconds. [color=bc8dbf]"It's... Almost familiar..."[/color] He growled. continuing to kata. [color=82ca9d]"An ancient order of warriors all across the many worlds. Tapping into powers. The key to the answer, becoming stronger than before, flying higher, when the signal is calling, timeless wonders they performed."[/color] He smiled. [color=82ca9d]"I was one of the masters of the Order of the Claw. For generations, we trained these rangers. But now... Scattered, few... Those who use the Keyblade made us somewhat obselete. But you will prove to others that the order is still around. And still willing to take up the fight."[/color] [color=bc8dbf]"You mean that this is for sheer damn pettiness?"[/color] He asked. [color=bc8dbf]"I suppose that there's worse reasons to train an apprentice."[/color] Master Phant laughed. [color=82ca9d]"I don't give a damn about how relevant we are. How many people thank us. The Power Rangers were always thankless warriors. We never asked for recognition and did our best to avoid it at all costs. What matters is that we saved lives whenever they were in trouble."[/color] He replied. He then twirled the maul and launched it at Zen-Aku. Zen-Aku ducked under it and twirled around, bringing his claws to Phants throat. [color=82ca9d]"Stop fighting like a Wolf!"[/color] He demanded. [color=82ca9d]"Use what i have taught you, face me as the elephant."[/color] Zen-Aku growled in response. Phant kicked him hard, he flew back, before clawing into the ground to stop his skid. Phant flourished the flail and then struck a pose. He then motioned to Zen-Aku who was about to charge, but then recognized the motion he had made. That was the same motion Phant made when he was ordering to follow. [color=82ca9d]"MIGHTY SPIRIT OF THE ELEPHANT!!!"[/color] Zen-Aku suddenly understood. He struck the same poses as before, powerful, sure movements. [color=bc8dbf]"MIGHTY SPIRIT OF THE ELEPHANT!"[/color] He growled, the same flail weapon then appeared in his hands. Phant smiled at him. He smashed the ball on the ground, before jumping, twirling around in the air and using his own bodys motion to send the ball hurtling at Zen-Aku at lightning speed. Zen-Aku threw the ball in the same direction, the ball smashing into the other and sending it off-course. Zen-Aku then followed the same motion, sending his own flail blistering towards Phant. Phant flourished his flail, before dropping it and stopping the ball with his bare hands. A mighty elephant trumpet sounded from him as he smashed his foot on the ground and then threw the flail head back towards Zen-Aku. [color=82ca9d]"Very good."[/color] He laughed, panting a little, before waving his hand that had caught the ball. [color=82ca9d]"But your training has only just began. Next, we will need to work on yo-"[/color] At that point, a scared Gorilla seemed to run through the clearing, followed by a number of [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/kingdomhearts/images/0/0b/Powerwild_KH.png]monkey-like Heartless.[/url] [color=82ca9d]"They are here!!!"[/color] He roared. He then looked at Zen-Aku and grinned. [color=82ca9d]"Enough training for now. Time for a field test."[/color] [color=bc8dbf]"How? Dotty is no-where near here and i cannot interact with the material realm without use of her body."[/color] He replied. Master Phant ran up to Zen-Aku, before spinning him around, kicking the back of his knee's and forcing Zen-Aku into a kneeling position. He then grabbed the side of Zen-Aku's head and... It felt to Zen-Aku much the same as when he and Dotty were fusing. As Terk ran through the jungle and into another clearing, she would see Tarzan and Taivas there to greet her. [color=f6989d]"TARZAN!!! IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!!! Now, if it's not too much trouble, GET THOSE MONKEYS!!!"[/color] She screamed at them. As the monkey Heartless burst through the tree-line, suddenly, the sound of an elephants Trumpet would be heard. [color=f6989d]"Tantor?"[/color] Terk asked. As suddenly, the [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/powerrangers/images/6/6b/Prjf-elephant.png]green and white clad warrior[/url] appeared next to Taivas and Tarzan. He looked at his hands and then around his body. He looked at Taivas. [color=bc8dbf]"It's me, Zen-Aku. Don't ask."[/color] He then struck his Kata poses again. [color=bc8dbf]"MIGHTY SPIRIT OF THE ELEPHANT!!!"[/color] The flail appeared in his hands and he prepared for battle.
