Dani wait up" RJ yelled running through the airport
"RJ you know I can't stay." Danielle said
"I know but you need to know this before you get on that plane" RJ said
"I don't have much time, my plane….Dani starts to say before RJ kisses her
"I love you, I know I'll see you again my silver fox." Rj said as they leaned their forehead against one another
"Goodbye my violet wolf" Dani said kissing him softly
Last call to Angel Grove
~3 years Later~
"Master Mao, I came as quickly as I could" Dani raced into her masters chamber
"Take this quickly, I fear something terrible is going to happen" Mao said handing her a box
"My morpher but sir, that's only if Dai Shi escapes" Dani said holding the box close
"I fear he might and if that happens I need you and Robert (RJ) to become the new masters to the final 3. Mao explained
"Well I guess it's a good thing that Casey is still just a cub. But Master, R.J, I haven't seen or heard from him in years I don't even know if he's still Ocean Bluff." Dani explained
"He too knows of your upcoming arrival, as for young Casey, he has advanced well above his years "Mao said as they walked out into the courtyard
~…~
"Where's my towel, I asked for my towel, that's a direct order from a senior student" Jared yelled at a younger student
"Here I want no trouble" Casey said handing Jared a towel
Annoyed, Jared grabbed the towel and pushed Casey to the ground, just as he was about to get up a roar came out of his tiger spirit animal and both, Mao and Danielle saw this
"Casey, are you ok" Dani said helping her brother up
"Standing behind your big sister" Jared laughed
"Back off Jared" Dani said
"I don't always need you, I was fine" Casey said brushing Dani off
~…~
"How could you choose him over me, I've been here 5 years" Jared yelled coming into the chambers
"And yet you act like a cub" Danielle rolled her eyes
"Stay out of this" Jared yelled at Danielle
"Excuse me I'm your mentor you will treat me with respect" Dani said with authority
"Dani" Casey yelled as Jared anger got the best of him as his lion spirit attacked both Dani and Master Mao
"Master Mao "Lily cried out
"Dai she has been released go forth and accept your destiny and new masters" Mao said as he was slowly dying
"We don't want new masters" Lily cried against him
"My dear child don't shed tears my life in this form may have ended, but I will always be with you" Mao said as he took his last breath
"Dani, what am I doing here, I only just started a few months ago." Casey said watching his mentor pass on
"I don't know exactly, but all I do know is that Dai Shi has escaped and I have to get you three to Ocean Bluff to meet your new master" Dani sighed
~PRJF~
"A pizza parlor that's where we're meeting our new master" Casey said to his sister as they walked inside
"Wait there he is" Lily said as the three teenagers went to the older gentleman in the corner
Dani stood knowing full well that wasn't their master but it was fun to see them make fools of themselves
"Dani" Someone called in a shocked voice
"Hey Fran, long time no see" Dani said
"Omg, you're back, does RJ know he's right in the kitchen I'll go get him" Fran said hugging her old friend
"Shhhh, RJ doesn't know, and please don't tell him yet…" Dani said as she quickly used her invisibility spell, when she was RJ coming out of the kitchen
"Ah, new customers, welcome to jungle pizza, what can I get you" RJ greeted
"We're not staying" Theo explained
"Are you hiring" Lily asked ignoring Theo
"Lily" Theo sighed
"What we are in the real world now and that requires money and I refuse to spend another day in these pajamas" Lily explained
"Alright, I'll be manager, something appropriate" Theo said
The shop started to shake as some customers yelled Earthquake
"Guys go I'll be right behind you" Dani said not thinking that her invisibility wore off
"Danielle" RJ said shocked
"Hey RJ" Dani said mentally kicking herself
"What are you doing here" RJ asked
"Not here in the kitchen, ok so long story short, Mao is dead, Dai Shi escaped, and you and I have to put our past behind us and train those Pai Shua students
"It's good to see you silver fox" RJ smiled
"I missed you wolf boy, now let's go show the cubs how it's done." Dani smiled back
~…~
"What are those things" Casey asked
"My guess, friends of Dai Shi" Lily answered
"Lets do it" Theo said
Battle begins. All three students have a difficult time battling the Rinshi as this is their first real battle. As the Rinshi transforms into its true form the students see Dani and Rj rushing to their aid
"Woah, dude step back" RJ said as Dani rolled her eyes
"I thinks its time for your first lesson" Dani said as they rolled their sleeves up revealing the master stip. "Can't judge a book by its cover.
RJ and Dani both jumped into battle. As they both channeled their inner spirit animals to defeat the Rinshi
"You're him, you're our master." Casey said
"What am I chopped liver" Dani laughed
"No it's totally cool, to have you as our master too Dani, you were always my favorite teacher" Lily said
All 3 students bowed in respect
Just call me RJ, and her Dani, no need for formality, now my students the real journey begins." Rj says as they walk back to the restaurant
~…~
"Look at the size of this place" Casey said
"Woah, this place is great, check it out" Lily said as she put on music
"It's nice but it needs cleaning" Theo said inspecting the place
"Hey thanks for volunteering, Mi Casa es su Casa" RJ said as Dani rolled her eyes, she knew this place better than anyone, and it hadn't changed one bit, especially the chair.
"I didn't, never mind" Theo said
"This is where you'll be living, training, and working. Everything is yours except…that chair" RJ said as he saw Dani sitting in the black recliner looking comfortable
"Oh you mean my chair" Dani smiled as they looked at each other remembering the day they got that chair
…
"Dani, I really need to get back to the pizzeria" RJ said as he and his best friend walked through the furniture store
"Oh quiet, the restaurant doesn't open for another 2 weeks and we need to furnish the loft." Dani said, the two had just graduated the academy and were trying to find something new to do so, RJ decided to open a pizza parlor, and Dani wanted to move out of her parents place. So they both decided to live together as "friends" and they just so happened to find a loft above a pizzeria that needed renovations. Of course both hoped that this process would get them out of the friend zone
"How about this chair, its cute and it reclines, come try it out" Dani said spotting a black leather chair( yes I changed the style)
RJ sat down and reclined the chair." Not bad, come sit with me" RJ said pulling Dani onto his lap
"Yea I think this is a winner" Dani said leaning against his chest
"Are you two shopping for your first home" A saleswoman asked
"Sort of , more like a loft" RJ said, Dani still on his lap, he had to admit, he was enjoying this moment more than he should
"Aww young love, and must I say you too make a lovely couple, why, I didn't want to disturb you. Congratulations on the new home." The saleswoman said as she left to go get the paperwork"
Dani slowly got off RJ's lap. People these days think that only couples can move in together, best friends make the best roommates" RJ laughed trying to clear the air
"Ah here, you are, you are know the owners of this chair enjoy" The sales woman said as they looked at each other and smiled
…
"Dani, RJ, guys you there" Casey said when the two masters went silent
"What oh, right, so let's get you out of those pajamas" RJ said
"They are not pajamas, they are scientifically made flexible attire that allows excessive movement" Dani argued
RJ rolled his eyes as Lily walked towards the Tv's
"Look at these T.v's I haven't watched television is years" Lily said
"No these are more, much more. It's a state of the art, city wide, monitoring system." Dani explained
"Plus one thousand two hundred and fifty channels" RJ added
"Uh guys" Theo said pointing to one of the screens
"Let's get them c'mon guys" Casey said
"I'll handle this" Dani said to RJ
"Wait, I did notice you were over powered last time so I have a gift for you" RJ said showing them a box with sunglasses
"Sunglasses" Theo asked
"They're not just glasses, they're solar morphers" Dani explained
"Well you see, morphers are for power rangers, and well they're not part of the order of the claw, but I figured we needed all the help we can get, so I knew this guy…"RJ explained
"My uncle Billy Cranston" Dani interrupted
"Yea, anyway once you activate them, all the knowledge that comes with them will be instantaneously downloaded into your cellular make-up," he told them as he handed them out. "Pretty gnarly, huh?" RJ grinned. "Now, go out there and beat down evil! And now you'll look good doing it," he added proudly.

The four raced into the city in their new uniforms, as the Rinshi destroyed everything in sight as they were led by two figures.
"Hey, take a look," the taller figure, dressed in brown and black armour with long horns, nudged the one in green and purple armour.
"Ohh, humans?" the green one laughed.
"I don't know about you three, but I think it's time to show them what we've got," Theo looked to the others confidently.
"Totally," Dani agreed. Casey watched as the three stepped forwards, pulling their Morphers from their pockets and putting them on.
"Ready! JUNGLE BEAST, SPIRIT UNLEASHED!" they morphed into their suits, with Theo in Blue and black, Lily in Yellow and black, and Dani in silver
"With the Speed of a Cheetah, Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger!"
"With the Stealth of a Jaguar, Jungle Fury Blue Ranger!"
"With the Agility of a Fox, Jungle Fury Silver Ranger!"
"Now that's different," the figure in brown armour commented, not sounding overly concerned.
"Attack!" the female in green ordered, snapping her fingers. Theo, Lily and Dani ran to fight them, leaving Casey to morph. When he tried, nothing happened, and he looked down at his hands in confusion, not understanding at all.
