"HuNNGEr!" It screamed, clawing at the cell "HuuuuNgGggGrrrr! FoOd!"
Jennifer Banquo sighed and looked at the creature locked in the small cage, she'd had fun with it. Altering the process to create zombies just a little bit to leave it alive but with massive necrosis and constant throbbing pain throughout it's nerves.
The last bit had simply been slicing the poor thing's skull open and cutting a few nerves that had left it unable to realise it was full before pumping it full of steroids and casting a few minor spells on it. She smiled and stood back, her creation, her ... Nommer, was ready to be released onto the streets. She grinned and unlocked the cage before leaving the Natural History museum.

"Is there a reason why we are breaking into the museum?" Martain asked as the Rangers made their way to the rooftop.
"Because we still don't know what is blocking the Machinations and we've searched everywhere else. Besides it makes sense for the magical stuff to be mixed in with the regular old stuff in a museum, a perfect hiding place." Alan replied as he looked for a skylight or a fire exit hatch to break into.

Arthur was following the rangers. They were right, everywhere else had been checked. What was concerning him was the fact that (thus far) nothing had attacked them ... yet. He sighed and glanced at Alan
"Any idea of how we can get in yet?" He asked.

"I got a skylight over here." Alan says pointing at the glass window overlooking a dinosaur exhibit.
((A fight with Jennifer at a museum. If this doesn't end with zombie dinosaurs I will be disappointed.))

~Oh you are not going to be disappointed, overwhelmed maybe, but not disappointed,~ Cross
Arthur nodded and looked over it.
"So, what are we going to do? Go in one big group or split up and cover more ground?" He asked

"Two groups, you take the twins and go to East wings. I'll take Penny and Martain and go west. Meet back at the dinosaurs in half an hour if you don't find anything." Alan explains his plan before smashing in the skylight.

Arthur nods and drops to the floor, putting a Trigger Key in his belt and turning it. He lands on the floor in the standard Hamlet form and looks up, it seems clear, and quiet.
"Okay, so we'll go through the Egyptian exhibit and check out the East wing of the building while you guys go up and check the Aztec stuff on the West side," Arthur suggested, standing up and dusting himself off "If neither of us find anything then we explore downstairs, okay?"

"Alright, let's go." Alan says as they split up into their two teams. The rangers remain unmorphed since the brightly coloured hellfire and the brimstone stench would attract attention they do not need right now.

Arthur leads the twins into the Egyptian exhibit and then stops short.
"Do you two see anything?" He asks looking left and then right "Only it looks ... different, like something's missing,"

"No offense but we've never been to London before it was full of zombies. I honestly couldn't tell you what belongs in this museum." Larry sighs leaning against a glass case containing a sarcophagus.
"I have an idea, I could let Hastur out. He could find anything magic in this place." Harriet suggests.
***
The other three rangers wander around the Aztec exhibit looking for anything out of place. Martain read one of the plaques describing human sacrifice. "The hearts stayed beating for a whole ten seconds after being cut out. A bit overly complicated just to off a guy."
"Try to focus, look for something that doesn't look Aztec or as part of an exhibit." Penny says shaking her head

"I only came once when on a school trip," Arthur admitted "It's just a niggling feeling in the back of m-" He stopped as soon as he saw what Larry was leaning on, his eyes widened.
He remembered being terrified on that school trip. Of a mummy in a sarcophagus. Larry was leaning against the same sarcophagus but the mummy wasn't there. Neither were any of the others ...
He swallowed and looked around, a low drone was filling the air.
***
Meanwhile there was a crash somewhere in the Aztec exhibit followed by a cry of "hUngER!!!!" and rapid footsteps.

"Something like a speech impaired threat of cannibalism?" Martain asked going for his crystal.
"Hang on. Whatever that is hasn't seen us yet. We don't want to start throwing around hellfire to attract Mr. Hungry." Alan warns pushing Martain's crystal down.

Arthur turned around, a group of petrified figures were shambling towards the three of them.
****
There was more thumping, a large stone circle collapsed.

"Are they even trying? Sure it's hellfire but it's still fire." Harriet says as she gets out her crystal and transforms.
Fallen! Power!
The twins begin the process of destroying several priceless relics of a long lost civilization with blasphemous flame.
***
"I ain't waiting around for it." Martain says breaking free of Alan's grip and transforming.
Fallen Power! He transforms into his ranger form and runs towards the sound of the thumping.

Arthur changes into his Romeo form and starts shooting at the mummies as they stumble towards them. Even with Harriet and Larry's hellfire the undead keep on coming.
***
The moment Martain transformed a big ... thingy jumped in front of him and roared, razor sharp, needle-like teeth gnashing in front of his visor.
