Ariana never got a chance to finish her sentence when Jarno hit her hard and fast, making her flip end over end until she fell to the concrete road with enough force to jar her mouth and make her spit out a tooth.  She groaned at the impact, but didn't have time to sort out her injuries as she heard the order to kill her be given, and the N-Bots complied as they normally did.  It wasn't long before she was gasping for breath at the three cracked ribs and bruises she had received courtesy of the metal bastards, and she would have gotten more most likely if not for the fact Resistance members decided to drop in.<br/><br/>Their entrance was quite timely, but she didn't want to be in the middle of all this since both sides hated her with equal fervor for past mistakes in her short life.  That was a tale for another time though, and the thought was brief as she saw the lockbox fall and its contents spill out.  Her veins turned to ice at what she saw, recognizing a morpher from computer readouts she had picked up on from her hacking past times into the Niberian network.  That wasn't the only reason they hated her but it just added to their hatred for her in particular though.  Time slowed down to a crawl when she reached out and picked it up, rolling away from Jarno since he was busy with the human fighters that didn't have much of a chance in the long run.<br/><br/>Strapping it to her arm without a second thought, Ariana made a choice that would have severe repercussions for many years to come, provided she lived that long of course.  Standing up as the Morpher, outfitted with the Red Power Coin of the old Road Force Rangers, the human gasped and almost screamed as raw power flooded her every cell and seemed to burn through every mental defense she had.  From her perspective, this is what it was like for Ariana Saito, the first true ranger since the beginning of the Niberian invasion.<br/><br/><em>Raw and unconstrained power, coursing through my entire body.  It's too much for me to bear!  I'm going to die in this place, with sheer power I have no idea how to control.  Everything is in slow motion, yet it's crystal clear at the same time.  Several small groups have surrounded the convoy, and I can see all of them as surely as if they are waving torches about to signify their position.  Jarno and his N-Bots, they see me surely.  I move, and I know how to keep myself perfectly balanced as I run full out to the safety of a building to gather my incredibly sharpened senses.  The explosions, my own heart beat in my chest, it's all almost too much to bear!</em>She breaths deeply though, calming slowly as the fight rages on around her.  Finding her 'center' as her parents called it, Ariana stood up and saw Jarno's tactics and knew how to counter them.  "Hey Jarno!  Let's dance!"  She felt powerful, unstoppable, and she charged ahead as she pulled a staff off of her back and twirled it before her, getting in close to take out the N-Bots and the commander while he was busy....
