Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is fiction

Lost and Found

Casey lay on the bed, goaning. He hated morning sickness. It had been one week since he found out about the pregnancy and morning sickness, which lasted all day BTW, was destroying his life. He couldn't go five minutes without feeling nausea. He hated this. Casey could only hope that Tigra found that herb before it was too late.

"You think this will work?"

"It's the only plan we have."

"Has anyone ever been in Dai Shi's lair?"

"We were when we were cotrolling the Spirit Rangers. But I can't remember much. Master Phant?"

"Afraid not Master Finn. What about you Master Swoop? Did you see anything unusual?"

"I'm blind Finn, so no I didn't. But we don't have a choice. The child birthed from the lion and tiger would be stronger than anything we have faced. We have to stop it."

"Then we will. Alright, after we get there, Casey and Dom will try to find Casey and Tigra. The rest of us will distract Dai Shi, Camille and the Rinshi."

"It's a dangerous plan, but it's all we have. RJ, you ok with this?"

"If it gets me my mate back, I don't care what the plan is."

"Alright then. Let's go."

"Tigra? Did you get the herb?"

"I did. But I also noticed something else as I was searching for it."

"What?"

"Our friends are looking for us. They are close and should be here within two hours. I suggest you do not take the herb until then."

"You're right. I'll just put it in my pocket. Give it here."

As Casey placed the herb in his pocket, Dai Shi stormed into the room.

"Casey, Carinsoar wants to discuss plans to take out the rangers. Come along."

"Why do I have to be there?"

"Because you are my consort and you need to realise that we will destroy the Rangers. Leo will keep Tigra company."

The black lion materialised beside Dai Shi and Tigra shrank back in fear. She wanted Silver by her side, not this monster.

"They'll be fine, now come along."

Casey was unchained and dragged out of the room. He could only hope that his friends came soon.

"Guys, we found Dai Shi."

"What? You two are meant to be looking for Casey."

"We found him as well."

The other rangers and the masters caught up to RJ and Dom.

"Where is he?"

"Your friend is in here rangers."

Dai Shi's voice echoed throughout the passage. The rangers walked slowly into the large hall. RJ growled at the sight in front of him. Dai Shi and Casey sat in matching thrones. Dai Shi smirked as the rangers walked in. Casey sat straighter, the chain that connected his wrist to the throne jingling. RJ's spirit howled.

"He has chained our mate! He must be destroyed."

"And he will Silver. Don't worry."

"Dai Shi. We've come for Casey."

"He is my Queen Master Finn. You can not steal him from me."

"If we must fight, we will Dai Shi. We defeated you once, we shall do so again."

Casey didn't hear Dai Shi's reply. He was staring at his mate. It had been months since he had seen RJ and having him here in front of him was painful. Casey couldn't get to RJ because he was chained to this stupid throne. RJ broke their eye contact and glared at Dai Shi.

"RINSHI! ATTACK!"

Casey knew this wouldn't be and easy battle. He hoped his friends could win.

"RJ! Get Casey and Tigra and go."

"On it Master Swoop. Silver, find Tigra. Jarrod's spirit is probably with her. Meet us outside. Be careful."

"I will kill that lion."

RJ's eyes zeroed in on Dai Shi, still sitting in his throne beside Casey.

"So will I."

RJ headed for Dai Shi, before being cut off by his father and Master Phant.

"Get Casey. We will deal with Dai Shi."

RJ nodded and headed for his mate. As his father and Master Phant began to fight Dai Shi and Master Swoop and the other rangers fought off the Rinshi and Camille, RJ ran up to Casey and broke the chain.

"RJ! If you weren't wearing your helmet, I would kiss you."

"Later. Can you walk?"

"Yes I can. But I can't fight. And I don't have my morpher."

"We have it. Come on. Silver and Tigra will meet us outside. Guys, we're leaving."

Dom and Theo provided cover as RJ led Casey to the forest, the Masters and other rangers following.

Dai Shi threw the Rinshi away from him.

"They took my queen and my child."

"My lord, your child is no more."

"What do you mean Camille?"

"I found this herb in Casey's room. This causes a miscarriage. Casey has killed your child."

"Very well. I will destroy him and the rangers. And it will be painful and bloody and wonderful. Camille! Bring me a new monster."

"Yes my lord."

The rangers were celebrating the return of their friend in the forest.

"It worked. We got Casey back."

Casey only had eyes for his mate. He flung himself into RJ's arms, not noticing the others leaving, giving them some privacy. He wrapped his arms around RJ's neck and smiled at the familiar feel od RJ' arms around his waist.

"Casey. Oh God, my Casey. Are you alright?"

"Yes. You saved me RJ. You got to me in time."

"I was so worried love."

"I'm ok RJ."

RJ pulled Casey closer and for the first time in four months, their mouths met and their tongues tangled together. Casey knew he had to tell the rangers about the child, but right now, all he wanted was to be in this moment and forget everything else.

A/N Done. R&R please. Next chapter, the epilogue.
