"This is seriously getting old." Teddy commented as he and his friends gathered in HQ's bridge. The boy sat down in a chair and winced in pain. Under his green long sleeved shirt was a series of bandages wrapping around his abs and back.

Looking around, he saw that his friends weren't doing so well either; they too had bandages on some part of their body.

Becca nodded and adjusted the bandages around her left hand. "The gold and silver Rangers are tough."

"Tough is an understatement." Oliver corrected, rubbing his temples. "They've been beating us up for days."

The group still hadn't quite recovered from their major Megazord defeat at the hands of the two Rangers. This was evident by the absence of Ben, who was hit hardest as their Megazord went down. Even then, he was still out of commission for another few days much to his dismay.

Clara stood up and added, "And to make things worse, we still have no idea who they are. They can out fight us at any time."

"Mom? Any idea who these guys are?"

Dr. Kyle shook her head. "No, we don't for now. Our scans just don't work on them. For now," she put her hand on her son's shoulder, "you should all go home and get some rest."

~Wednesday, Bayview High~

"How're you feeling Ben?" Clara asked as she sat down next to her friend during the lunch break. She, Ben, Oliver, Becca and Daniel were sitting at a circular table outside the cafeteria. It was a nice day out, despite Autumn being in full blast.

"Being back on my feet is a plus." Ben smiled back. "Still have this, though." He pointed to the bandage wrapped around his forehead.

"Workload isn't too bad?" Becca asked putting a french fry in her mouth.

"No, actually. Teddy's been bringing me my work all this time." Ben informed, taking a bite of his sandwich.

Clara gave Oliver a slight look which he understood, but he shrugged.

Daniel interrupted, "What happened to you anyway, Ben?"

Realizing that his civilian friend was right there, Ben stuttered, "Um... I hit my head jumping off a diving board."

"Ouch. Sounds brutal." Daniel replied.

"Guys!" Teddy called running up to the table with James.

"Hey Teddy, James." Clara greeted.

"I'm having a Halloween party at my house this weekend. You up for it?" Teddy asked with excitement.

"Costumes and all?" Oliver asked.

"You know it!"
"Count us in."

"Excellent." Teddy clapped his hands together. "See you there!"

~That Friday Night, Halloween Night~

"What are you?" Oliver mused to Ben. The two were in Ben's room putting on their costumes. Oliver was a vampire wearing a black button down shirt, a red tie, and black jeans. Dr. Kyle, believe it or not, helped Oliver with his face make-up.

Ben, however, was wearing a tight blue spandex shirt over black sweatpants. However, the kicker came in the form of glow sticks taped to his body.

"Turn off the light." Ben instructed pointing to the switch on the wall.

"Ben..."

"It won't trigger your weakpoint. I promise."

Sighing, Oliver fulfilled his friend's request. Much to his shock, Oliver didn't lose his breath. Instead, he was met with a glowing Ben. The glow sticks lined up on his body creating a stick figure shape.

"I'm a stick figure!" Ben informed flexing his muscles.

"Clever, but why the tight shirt? You trying to impress someone tonight?" Oliver teased.

If it wasn't dark, Oliver would've spotted his friend's face go as bright red as his ranger suit.

"Shut it, Ollie."

Oliver raised his hands defensively. "Alright, alright. I'm sorry. Let's go pick up the others."

~Enter~

Enter stood on a suburban rooftop, observing with interest. He typed away at his computer and shook his head. "Humans are interesting." Clicking through his information banks, he read all about Halloween to himself.

"Fascinating... Tres bien... I will have to think up the scare of a lifetime." The mysterious man then proceeded to pulling up two pictures on his laptop. These pictures depicted Daniel and James.

"I think it's time for these two to step up to the plate now... Now I'll just-" A large blow horn interrupted him. "What's this?!" A fast moving mass flew through the air and swept him off his feet and onto his back. As fast as it came, this mysterious object was gone.

~Cue Theme~

~Teddy's House~

Oliver drove his car up towards Teddy's house with Becca in shotgun and Clara, Ben, and Daniel in the back. James was already with Teddy as he helped set up decorations.

Becca was a stereotypical witch, wearing a pointed black hat and a black cloak. She opted to not go for the Wicked Witch of the West look and left the green makeup at home.

Clara and Daniel actually did a pair costume: both wore mouse ears and dressed up as Minnie and Micky Mouse.

"Everyone ready?" Oliver asked with glee.

"Let's rock it." Becca replied opening her door.

"I'm so ready for this." Daniel commented as the group made their way to Teddy's front door. Oliver knocked on the wooden doors and he could already feel the bass of the music coming from the inside. Teddy answered the door and grinned from ear to ear. He was wrapped in bandages from head to toe with the exception of his eyes, nose and mouth. He did let a few bandages hang from him at his torso, arms and legs revealing his skin tight clothing underneath.

"Welcome, guys!" He shouted over the music. "Come in!"

James was behind Teddy, dressed up like Freddy Krueger. In his left hand was a Cheerio box covered in fake blood.

"I'm a Cereal Killer!" He joked after getting quizzical looks from his new friends.

The Rangers were immediately met with flashing lights, loud music, and hundreds of classmates dancing to the beat.

"Nice turn out!" Ben complimented.

"What?" Teddy asked holding his hand next to his ear.

Ben got closer and yelled, "Nice turn out!" However, what he failed to notice was how close he was to Teddy. Blushing hard, he backed off before he could give himself away.

"Teddy-Bear!" Came a sing-song voice. Victoria, dressed like a suggestive maid, jumped into the Green Ranger's arms and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I've been looking for you!"

Becca put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes. "Show some self-respect." She commented only for Clara to hear, who in turn nodded in agreement.

"Our group is waiting for us!" Victoria informed trying to pull Teddy away.

"I'll go in a minute. Just let me talk to my friends for a bit."

"What's been going on, Teddy? These losers were never on your radar! Three years into High School and now you're hanging out with them like you've known them your whole life!"

"Tori, calm down."
"I will NOT calm down!" With that, the girl stormed off into the crowd. Giving his friends an apologetic look, Teddy ran after his girlfriend.

~Later On~

The party had been going on for about a few hours or so and everyone was having a great time, save for one person. Ben walked out the front door and sat on the porch. The porch was empty, as everyone was either inside the house or dancing in the backyard. The boy took in the scene around him. Teddy's house was located in a sort of isolated part of Skybrooke. It had trees all surrounding it, so the music did not bother anyone.

Sitting down on the front step, he looked out trying to fight the tears welling up in his eyes.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Clara sat down next to her friend and put her arm around his shoulders. She knew all too well what the problem was.

"I know you like him... But I told you before... he'll just break your heart..."

Ben looked at Clara with bloodshot eyes. His mouth began to twitch in sadness.

"Ben... it's ok to cry. I'm always here for you."

Nodding, the boy let his head fall onto Clara's shoulder and let his tears come.

"You're right..." Ben sobbed even harder and coughed out, "I know you're right... It's just... after everything... he still has... h-he still has so much influence over me..."

The two stopped talking for a few seconds as a couple of classmates came out the front door and began walking down the long driveway. When they were out of earshot, Clara let her heart out.

"You work so hard at everything, Ben. You're brave... You're proud of who you are. You kick robot butt practically everyday... You're a good person, Benny. Don't let anything make you think differently."

"Th-thank you... Clara..."

"Now, how about we leave this party and go get some Frozen Yogurt?"

Wiping his tears away, Ben replied, "But Oliver drove us."

"He gave me his keys. Let's go." She nudged getting her friend to his feet. Unfortunately, that would have to wait. The couple that was walking down the driveway began to scream.

"What's happening?" Ben asked. An elongated mass came out of a purple portal in the sky and swept the students up. It made a noise that sounded like...

"A train?" Clara identified. The phantom Train flew around and went for the back of Teddy's house where more screaming filled the air as the music was suddenly cut off. In the back, Xanaloids appeared and began to round up the students prompting the Rangers back there to morph.

"We've got to do something!" Ben said raising his DNA card.

"Not so fast." A blast knocked the two Rangers off their feet.

"The Gold and Silver Rangers." Clara informed without looking up. Sure enough, the two newest enemies had their swords drawn.

"Transcode: Fusion Fall!"

~Ben and Clara Morphing Sequence~
"Are you ok to fight, Ben?"

"I've been waiting to get back in it for days."

"Alright."

The two clashed swords with the other Rangers in an intense fight. Ben struck at Gold over and over again, trying to get a clear shot at the other's body.

Clara managed to disarm Silver and tried to strike him, but he was quick to dodge everything she threw.

The fight got more complicated when the students began to flood the front of the house trying to escape the mysterious train. Through all the chaos, Clara saw Daniel fall to the ground. Silver saw this and immediately grabbed the Yellow Ranger and tossed her away.

"Dan!" Clara yelled as she jumped into the air. She landed in front of her new friend and fired a few rounds from her Blaster.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"Um... yeah!" Daniel replied as James appeared and helped his little brother to his feet.

"Get to safety."

"Alright. Thank you!"

However, things did not go the way she had hoped. The phantom Train came flying over head and fired a tractor beam from its underside. The beam hit the Gold and Silver Rangers, Clara, Ben, Daniel and James. It didn't only hit them though; it trapped every student who was at the party.

Teddy saw this happening and kicked a Xanaloid away from him.

"Ben!" He yelled running full force. However, he was too late; Ben and the others were taken away.

"Teddy!" Oliver shouted running up to him. "We've got to regroup!" Before they could do anything, they two were hit by a tractor beam.

With that, the Train disappeared into the sky leaving Becca all alone.
