Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. Beetleborgs, Masked Rider, and V.R. Troopers belongs to Haim Saban and Fox Kids I only own the plot, subplots, and characters you don't recognize. I just realized that I never explained what happened to Jason's Morpher and communicator as well as never giving out the info on Jason's injuries besides the blood loss, which is where the beginning of this chap comes from.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Ryan and Tracey had finally been convinced to go home and get some rest, leaving Jason all alone. Okay, Morpher and communicator, he thought, looking around. He needed them and fast. He wasn't sure why, but he got the feeling that the other Rangers needed him. Not seeing them within eye sight, Jason started to get out of the bed, trying not to jostle his right arm too much.

"I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do that," a voice commented dryly. Jason turned around to see Lt. Stone who seemed to be holding something in his hands.

"Hey, Lieutenant. I know I probably shouldn't be moving around, but I'm trying to find something," he said as the man stepped towards his bed.

"You mean these?" Lt. Stone asked, showing the boy his Morpher and communicator.

"Yes," Jason said in relief, as he took the items. Thank goodness. I thought one of the doctor or nurses had them, he thought. "How'd you get them?" he wondered in confusion.

"You were unconscious when you were brought in and the doctors had noticed them. I said that I had given them to you because you were trying out some new technology for me," Lt. Stone replied. "I'm not too sure he believed me though," he continued.

"Hey, I'm just grateful you can think on your feet. I'm not sure what I would've done if my cover had been blown," Jason responded. Just then, his communicator beeped.

"Come in, Zordon," he said hurriedly.

"First let me say that I'm glad to see you awake, Jason. Alpha and I saw everything from the Viewing Globe and were very concerned when you refused to wake up," the sage told him.

"I bet. You wouldn't believe what happened if I told you," the Ranger chuckled.

"What are the extent of your injuries?"

"I've got a pretty nasty gash on my right shoulder and apparently, they had to reset the bones because my right wrist was broken. I'll be able to use my right side again, but not for a while, even with the Ranger healing," Jason replied.

"If you are feeling up to it, Jason, I can teleport you here and have Alpha administer some of the Command Center's medical supplies to minimize any scarring that may occur as well as fixing your injuries," Zordon offered.

"That'd be great. Of course I'm up for it," Jason answered.

"Stand by for teleportation." A few seconds later, Lt. Stone watched as the boy disappeared in a particle of lights. Seconds later, the Red Ranger was in the Command Center.

"Whoa. So that's what that looks like," Josh commented.

"You a civilian?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, now. I used to be one of them," Josh replied, pointing to the Beetleborgs through the globe as Alpha punched a command on the computers.

"And then you lost your powers?" Jason asked and the other boy nodded.

"Yeah," Josh replied.

"I understand that it's tough. Tommy never liked being on the sidelines either," Jason told him. The two were so busy talking that neither of them noticed when a syringe full of a clear liquid appeared. Without a word, the robot took the syringe, walked up to Jason, and then pressed it into his right arm, causing the Ranger to jump.

"Hey! Ouch! Warning next time," he requested.

"And have you fight me? I don't think so, buster," Alpha responded. Jason grumbled and Josh laughed.

"So, what does that shot do anyway?" Josh asked.

"Our Ranger Powers allow us to heal pretty quickly, but for something as major as happened to me, even that needs a little help. The serum sends a small trace amount of Eltarian antibodies through the blood stream which helps fight off infection or a poison. I recently got slashed by Goldar's sword which contains some traces of a poison from his planet. If Alpha had left it untreated for too long, I wouldn't even be standing here," Jason answered. "Of course, I'll have to pretend to be injured for a while so I don't blow identity," he continued. Then, "Aw, man! My parents and the doctors! What if they find out I'm missing?" Jason wondered.

"As I told the other Rangers, if you must, you have my blessings to reveal your identity to your parents," Zordon answered.

"R-really?" Jason asked.

"Yes, I believe the situation is dire enough to warrant bending our rules. To that end, if there is a doctor or nurse that you trust, you may also tell them," Zordon answered. Jason nodded. That was a good idea. Just then, the alarms blared shrilly. They turned to the globe to see that Rita had made herself grow and was looming over her opponents, most which seemed to be animals of some kind. Jason, Josh, Alpha, and Zordon saw a wind pick up and latch itself onto the group. Jason's eyes flashed in anger. I should be out there! he thought. His team was in danger and there was no reason that he couldn't be fighting with them. From deep within, the Tyrannosaurus roared. It could sense the Red Ranger's frustration and agreed. The other Dinos were in danger, they should be out there. For a moment a tyrannosaurus head was seen on Jason's body. Josh's eyes widened, but before he could say anything, Alpha quickly pressed a button on the console and the boy landed with the others, having turned into a tyrannosaurus. Rita's eyes widened. So…Jason had arrived had he? They think they're so tough? Well, they haven't even begun to tangle with me yet! she thought to herself. Despite the wind, Kimberly was holding out pretty well and she flew towards Rita screeching wildly as the witch headed for Tommy. If she grabbed him again, she could stop the incoming attack. As she got closer, the pterodactyl opened her mouth and headed straight for the witch.
