In the cool chambers of Dai Shi's base, Dai Shi stood

--

Back at Dai Shi's lair, he and his accomplice entered the throne room. Red Danger stopped, but Dai Shi kept heading for his throne.

"Dai Shi!" Red Danger shouted loudly, the sheer volume in his voice was enough to make Dai Shi turn around and face him. "You had the rangers and you let them slip away! What were you thinking?!" he continued.

Dai Shi growled loudly and rushed right up into Red Danger's face, he pushed him with so much force, that the victim went crashing into one of the many nearby pillars in the room. Dai Shi went up to him again.

"Don't EVER question my methods! Unless you want to have the same fate as the rangers, you had better watch that mouth of yours." Dai Shi said with a cold tone. Red Danger gave a slight shudder in fear.

"Y-your right, Dai Shi. My deepest apologies." Red Danger said, still quaking with fear from Dai Shi's previous words. With that, Dai Shi backed away from him, and Red Danger removed his back from the pillar.

"Good. Now make yourself scarce. I'll let you know if I require your assistance." Dai Shi said. Red Danger gave him a nod, then turned to exit the room. He left so quickly, he practically ran.

Dai Shi made it to his throne and sat upon it. He leaned back to make himself comfortable. He looked off to nothing in particular.

"I don't know if what the Red Ranger said was true, but regardless, I am going to destroy the rangers. Brother or no brother." Dai Shi said to himself within his chambers.

At the loft, Casey was training vigorously with his shark sabers. Not the real ones, just the old ones that RJ had fashioned out of plastic he had recycled. Casey swung the sabers at his target for the moment: a punching bag. He took both sabers in his hands, crossed his arms and ran at his target. But somewhere along the way, he lost his balance and crashed into RJ's chair. He heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Whoa," Casey heard the voice say, "Easy with the chair, man, it's my baby." The voice continued. It was no other than RJ.

Seeing that it was RJ, and how he caught him abusing the chair red handed, Casey moved the chair back to it's former position.

"Oh, sorry, RJ. I was just training for my next battle with brother dearest. I really don't feel like failing for a third time." Casey said, placing the plastic sabers in RJ's green chair. "It's all the more complicated for me now that I can't morph." Casey continued, looking more discouraged than RJ had ever seen him.

"Well, anger is a tricky emotion. It puts people off. One minute you can think that you have mastered something, then—bam, anger sets in and ruins all your sense of concentration." RJ explained. He was so wise, no wonder he was a master.

"You're right, as usual, RJ. But how am I supposed to get my ranger powers back? It's the only way that I can defeat Jarrod." Casey said, still not sounding like he had all his confidence back.

"Uh, wrong-o, my tiger friend. You don't need your ranger powers to defeat Jarrod, your ranger powers are just extra. All you need to defeat him is already inside you. You had it before you became a Power Ranger, and you have it now. You just need to find it again." RJ said, sounding more like a brother to Casey than Jarrod ever could.

With that, Casey finally let out a smile.

"Don't you ever get tired of being right?" Casey said with a slight chuckle in his voice.

"Not so far, ha ha!" RJ said, moving his hands in rhythm with his words.

"Now, I have a plan that will defeat Dai Shi's latest goon, and get you your powers back." RJ explained to the tiger.

"Great…but I thought that I didn't need my powers for my fight?" Casey asked in utter confusion.

"You don't really need them, but it'd be nice to have them back, just in case you ever do need them for something. But for this plan to pan out, we need you." RJ said, looking at Casey's face trying to figure out if he was on board, before he even answered.

"I'm in." Casey responded.
