Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers, I don't even own the computure I used to type this.

Is this what Jason felt? Letting someone else come into the team? I know we weren't really that much of a team, but we were the Original Dino Thunders, the core. I sort of hate them for joining, it meant that we had to be more open minded and get used to another player on the field.

I want it just to be the three of us again, at least then we were getting along. We came from totally different parts of the social circles. We didn't even know each other before that fateful day. Now, I don't know how I could have lived without them. I don't want our team to take another form. I don't know if I could handle it. I'm supposed to be the leader. I'm supposed to be able to handle it. How am I supposed to handle something I've never dealt with before? How am I supposed to make sure everything's going to be alright? Especially when I don't believe it myself.

I pretend I don't know what's going on. I somehow feel like they need to be able to explain it to me by themselves. Not just what Hayley tells them, they need to know what's going on. I'm smarter than I let on, but Ethan needs to be the smart one and I understand that. I think Kira does to, for all of her advanced classes, she doesn't try to make anything or solve any problem that Ethan is working on. I don't think they get that. I don't think they see us as a team, a functioning unit.

They can't really see it, hardly anyone outside of us does. They think it needs to be fixed, but I know better. We have a bond and for all our fighting each other we would do anything to protect each other. We're like family like that, I know I would do almost anything for my brother and the other way around. We're not broken, we're family.

Sometimes though I wonder if we really are worthy of being the Dino Thunders, and I have to ask myself if we need more power, more rangers. I don't want to do it. Maybe if I just give up the gem, everything will go back to the way it was. Simple and straightforward, I miss those days. But I can't do that they need me now more than ever. They need me to show them the way.

I don't know the way yet, but they need me to. How much longer can I keep this up? I don't think I'm fit to be a leader, I don't know if I can be anything else. Now that I'm aware of what's happening I can't back out. I can't give in. I have to make the right choice, the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance. I can't just give Earth to the bad guys. They're counting on me, and I don't think I can make the right choice. Is this what Jason felt?
