Chapter 14: Silver Secret

"Levi? Levi Weston. He's your friend?!" Shelby's demand echoed through the café. Teddie looked up and shrugged.

"Yeah, I met him at the Battle of the Bands. I guess we're friends," Teddie answered as Shelby stared at her enviously. Ivan chuckled at her amazement.

"I can't believe you never told me!" Shelby complained.

"It never came up," Teddie defended, and Shelby glared at her. "Look, he's just wanting a support group or singer for his next tour, and Ms. Morgan said it was cool he hold auditions here. So he's just coming to check out the café. That's all. So please, don't bother the poor guy," she said as she lifted a tray to leave out in the restaurant.

"He's just a singer, what's the big deal?" Tyler asked her, and Teddie glanced to Ivan with a grin.

"Someone's jealous," Ivan whispered back quietly to Teddie as Shelby stared at the Red Ranger incredulously.

"'Just a singer'?" Shelby repeated as she stepped out of the kitchen. "He touched the hearts of a whole generation!" she argued as Tyler arched an eyebrow at her, sceptical.

"He's very popular with the ladies," Teddie told Tyler, who shot her a glare to tell her that she was not helping.

"He's just so cute," Shelby giggled, and turned around to return to the kitchen with the chocolate mix in her hands.

"Shelb-" before Tyler could stop her, she'd walked straight into someone, and the bowl collided sideways with their shirt.

"Hello," Shelby stared with wide eyes up as her victim couldn't help but chuckle.

"Shelby...really?" Teddie groaned, and sighed. "Levi, this is my friend Shelby. Shelby, Levi," she introduced the pair as Levi couldn't help but smile in amusement.

"Okay, Shelby," Levi laughed. "Lean backwards on one...two...three," he leaned forwards as she leaned back, and he caught the bowl. "All good. Well, except for my shirt," Levi looked down at the chocolate staining his t-shirt.

"I'm so sorry Mr. Weston-"

"Levi's fine," the singer smiled, tasting the chocolate. "Not bad," he nodded. "Thanks for letting me hold auditions here today guys. It's really cool," he looked up at the others.

"Maybe Shelby sing for you," Koda spoke up.

"Sure, why not?" Levi nodded as Shelby shoved Koda away. "You should definitely audition. Though maybe leave the chocolate in the kitchen," he grinned as Shelby blushed violently.

"Me? Really?" Shelby gasped as Tyler looked less impressed by the second.

"Come on Levi, my brother probably has an extra shirt around you can use," Teddie rolled her eyes.

"It's okay, I've got a spare with me. Later guys," Levi tipped his cowboy hat, heading out as Shelby waved and Tyler rolled her eyes.

"Maybe I should have suggested Briarwood instead," Teddie grumbled, before their Dino Coms beeped.

'I've got news,' they gathered around as Tyler answered his Dino Com sullenly.

"Is it Jeremy?" Teddie asked hopefully, worried for her best friend.

'You need to get to McCadden Forest right now,' they frowned at Kendall's urgency. 'I've picked up a distress signal. From the Silver Ranger,' she told them, and their eyes widened in shock.

"He escaped them?" Ivan wondered.

"We're on our way," Tyler told Kendall, and they hurried out.

Reaching the forest, the Rangers, plus Ari and RJ, looked around for any sign of Jeremy.

"The signal's close, he should be nearby," Teddie said as she kept her gaze on her Dino Com, which led them to where Jeremy was.

"There!" Koda pointed to where the Silver Ranger stumbled out from behind the trees, falling to his knees.

"Jeremy!" Teddie ran over, and the others followed.

"Thank god you found my signal...I thought they'd find me first for sure," Jeremy groaned, pushing himself back to his feet. "Arcanon captured me, but I managed to escape while they were distracted," he told them.

"Jeremy-" Riley was stopped by Ari.

"That's not Jeremy," she warned. Chase was scowling suspiciously, Teddie had her hands over her chest, and neither Ari nor RJ looked happy to see him.

"What? What are you talking about? Of course it's-"

"Then why aren't you surprised to see me here?" RJ asked him carefully. "I spent some time with the evil dudes, I know the smell when I get it," he glared.

"I..uh..."

"You don't know who RJ even is," Ari accused. "And not just that..."

"You feel like Snide feels," Teddie breathed, tears in her eyes. "You're not Jeremy!" she shouted. After a moment, the Silver Ranger started to laugh.

"Okay, I gotta admit, you colourful pests are a lot smarter than we thought," he laughed, and drew his blaster. "No matter," he shrugged as they took a step back.

"Why, you conniving little-"

"Time to meet my Titano Morph Blaster!" it beeped loudly as he spun the side and aimed it at them. The Rangers all Morphed, with Ari calling on her armour and RJ activating the Morpher strapped to his wrist. However, as they Morphed, the shot from the Titano Blaster slammed into them, and they were all tossed to the ground.

"Who are you?!" Teddie demanded, bursting through the flames to throw a punch. The Silver Ranger dodged it with a laugh.

"Pathetic!" he mocked her, and grabbed her wrist. Swinging her into the air, he delivered a powerful punch that made her cry out and fall to the ground.

"T-Rex Super Charger, Activate!" Tyler called on his Battilizer. "T-Rex Super Charge, Scelido-Pachy Formation! Activate!" he blocked the Silver Ranger's punch with the shield, stepping back.

"What is happening?!" Ivan demanded.

"How is the Silver Ranger evil? If that's not Jeremy, how has he got his powers?" Chase questioned.

"I don't know," Ari muttered.

"Silver Charge Up!" light started to glow by his fist. "Silver Strike!" he punched out, and the power collided with Tyler, tossing him back as well, and shattering his Battilizer.

"He's so strong..." Koda groaned as he continued to laugh.

"Now to finish you!" the Silver Ranger ran in, before stopping and letting out a cry. "No! Not again!" he put his hands to his helmet, demorphing to reveal Kerberos.

"That's the dude who arrived with Arcanon," RJ remembered the small amount of footage they'd been able to retrieve from the wreckage.

"I need to keep you buried!" Kerberos howled, before changing in a flash of Silver. Jeremy fell to his knees, gasping for breath.

"Jeremy!" RJ ran over to him, helping him up.

"Dad?" Jeremy looked up at him, a layer of dirt covering his face, streaked and covered in bruises.

"What's happening to you?" RJ asked him, helping support him as the Rangers got to their feet.

"Arcanon, he cursed me with something like the...Energem, I think he called it," Jeremy spoke weakly. "I share a body with Kerberos, he's pure evil...but because I'm here, he can Morph," he explained.

"Two beings in the same body?" Chase frowned.

"It's just like with Heckyl and Snide," Teddie considered.

"I'm sorry...I can't do anything to help you with him," Jeremy closed his eyes. "He has the Silver Energem, I can't use it," he explained.

"We have to find a way to split you apart," RJ told him, before Jeremy shoved away from him. "Jeremy!" he called out as the energy filled the air.

"Kerberos...he's coming back...I'm sorry..." he whimpered, hands to his head, before the silver light flashed, and Kerberos straightened up.

"Urgh. Weak human! Just like these Rangers!" Kerberos yelled, throwing out his hand and firing a blast of energy that blasted them off their feet. He then rammed Tyler, who let out a yell as he was shoved backwards.

"Tyler!" Shelby cried out, as Tyler was slammed against the cliff.

"Don't worry, Ranger," Kerberos laughed. "Your Energems will soon belong to Lord Arcanon!" he promised, and tossed Tyler to the ground.

"Tyler!"

"You alright?" the others ran over to help him up, and he groaned in pain.

"We'll meet again, Rangers!" Kerberos warned, running off and leaving them.

"Ms. Morgan, we've got bad news. We're heading back to the base now," Tyler contacted the scientist, before frowning. "Hey, what the..." he looked at the small black mark on his Dino Com.

"We have to help Jeremy and get the Silver Energem back," Teddie said as they walked back into the base.

"Once we do, we'll have all 12 Energems," Ivan nodded.

"What happened out there?" James asked.

"Jeremy's got an evil side that's in control of the Silver Energem," Chase sighed.

"What are you-" Tyler hushed Kendall as she went to question what he was doing. They looked around in surprise to see him leaving his Dino Com in a small tank with running water that Kendall had been using for an experiment.

"Guys, Kerberos put a listening decide on my Dino Com," Tyler warned them.

"Why he do that?" Koda frowned.

"I imagine to see what we plan," Philip commented as Ivan peered suspiciously at the tiny device on the side of the Dino Com.

"Right," Tyler nodded. "So we leave it in there until we have a plan that we want him to hear," he grinned.

"Right, so in the meantime, the real plan is to figure out a way to split Jeremy and Kerberos apart," Riley nodded.

"Well it just so happens that not only do we have Kendall," Ari grinned. "But RJ is the one who designed all the Jungle Fury technology. Hey, another Purple," she elbowed RJ. The Violet Ranger looked down at his Morpher strapped to his wrist, having brought it with him when Ari had called. "RJ..." Ari's smile faded, and she put a hand on his arm. "We'll get him back, you know that," she said confidently.

"Yeah, I know," RJ shook his head. "I just..never thought I'd see Jeremy like..."

"Like you were, when your Wolf spirit got out of control?" Ari finished for him. He nodded, and a guilty look showed on his face when he looked at her. He then yelped in pain and shock as Ari punched his arm. "Stop that," she told him firmly.

"Hey, you're not supposed to hit your teacher," he complained.

"RJ you haven't been my teacher in a while," Ari rolled her eyes. "You're my friend and my team-mate, and if you keep looking at me like that, I will have Jenna and Xander kick your butt," she warned, and he paled. "You guys are gonna get this done, and we're going to get Jeremy back. Okay?" she challenged. After a moment, he nodded, and grinned.

"You're right," he agreed. "Thanks Ari. You're just as good at the pep talks as ever. Okay," he clapped his hands together, and smiled at Kendall. "Let's get started," he told her, making the Purple Ranger smile.

"We're done," Kendall announced.

"Already?" Tyler blinked in surprise as RJ flipped the goggles he was wearing up to rest on the top of his head.

"Miko helped us," the young Samurai waved at them with a smile.

"Just how do you know how to do this stuff?" Riley looked at the girl standing beside him.

"When my dad was my age he build a virtual replicant of himself to help in Ninja Ops while he was out being a Ranger. I'm trying to one up him," Miko winked, and Riley felt his face warm at her smile. Koda giggled nearby, and Riley shot him a glare. "Why, how do you know how to do this stuff?" Miko asked him, and Riley swallowed, finding himself very nervous around the girl.

"So how does it work?" Philip asked curiously.

"The energy from each split emitter will meet in the middle," Kendall explained as she moved the four devices assembled. Miko put a small plant in the middle of them. "The burst it creates should be able to split Jeremy and Kerberos apart," she told them.

"The plant, generously donated by Teddie, is Kerberos, and the rock in it's grip is Jeremy," Miko explained, gesturing to the plant.

"Yeah, bit of a weird request," Teddie nodded, having grown the plant as Miko requested.

"Okay, stand back everyone," Kendall told them as they activated the devices. They began to glow red, before turning green and blue. Kendall activated them, and the lights hit the plant. After a moment, the plant and the rock were separate, with the plant's roots remaining the same, as if the rock was still there.

"It worked!" Tyler cheered.

"It'll take a while, but we gotta amp up the power," Riley told them.

"I can handle that," Ari winked at them, grabbing the devices and carrying them away.

"And while she does that, I'll plan the ambush," Kendall nodded, before they heard a strange noise. Looking around, they saw Shelby sitting at a table, reading a book and trying to sing with her fingers pinching her nose. "Shelby? Are you okay?" Kendall asked her slowly.

"Um," Shelby didn't move her hand. "I need to learn to sing and dance in about an hour," she lowered her hand, and Teddie sighed. Tyler watched through the shelves, and Shelby started to try to sing again.

"Stop, stop!" Kendall groaned, closing the book. "Speak to me," she ordered, taking the Pink Ranger by surprise.

"Levi Weston, he thinks I should audition," Shelby explained, smiling with excitement.

"Oh good grief..." Kendall stared at her.

"What? You think I'm crazy?" Shelby deflated.

"Yes, you are crazy," Kendall shook her head as she spoke honestly. "Along with a million other screaming fans of Levi Weston," she laughed. Tyler turned and walked away, and Teddie followed him.

Teddie stared at Tyler, not sure she'd heard him correctly.

"You want me to teach you. How to sing," she repeated, and Tyler nodded. "Ty..." Teddie put a hand to her face. "Alright. Let's go," she pulled him along, and through the park to a quiet area. "So. I'll teach you a song of mine, okay?" Teddie snapped her fingers, and her guitar appeared in her hands.

"Isn't that a bad use of magic?" Tyler frowned at her as she sat down on the bench.

"This is clearly important to you. So, I'll teach you," Teddie began to play, singing a couple of lines. "Okay, now you," she told Tyler. He hesitated, before repeating. He then stopped, seeing her face.

"That bad?" he stared at her. Teddie sighed.

"Dude, you're trying too hard," she told him. "Prepare yourself for the crowd, and-"

"Don't mention a crowd," Tyler had gone rigid. Teddie frowned at him, and he sighed. "I have stage fright," he confessed, looking away. Teddie's mouth fell open. It was hard to think their energetic, friendly Red Ranger was scared of crowds.

"Okay," Teddie nodded. "And you're sure you want to audition?" she asked him.

"Yes," Tyler nodded, and Teddie rolled her eyes, shaking her head.

"Let's try again," she began to play, and Tyler tried to relax, singing along with her, before jumping as Chase took a seat beside Teddie, and he immediately froze up. "Tyler," Teddie shook her head, lowering her guitar.

"Let's keep going," he told her, but Teddie shook her head, letting her guitar vanish.

"We need to talk," she told him, and Tyler took a seat. Chase nodded in agreement.

"She's right. You have stage fright, and you're trying to audition to be a support act for Levi Weston, one of the most popular singers of our time," Chase pointed out. Tyler didn't look at the two. "Look, you, my friend, are trying to impress Shelby," Tyler immediately blushed. "And she likes Levi Weston, the fancy pants singer/songrwriter," Chase waved his arms.

"Maybe you're a little jealous," Teddie suggested in a more gentle tone.

"That's...ridiculous!" Tyler leapt to his feet, his eyes wide.

"What's ridiculous, is you auditioning to sing with Levi," Chase told him firmly, standing up too. "You should just...tell Shelby how you really feel," he told their leader, whose fear showed in his face again. "Her reaction may surprise you," Chase chuckled.

"My brother is right," Teddie stood up as well. "He also knows how it is to admit it. So, admit it," she shrugged, winking at him and walking past with Chase. Tyler sighed heavily.

"Teddie!" Shelby rushed over to Teddie when the White Ranger returned to the café. "I need your help," she pleaded, and Teddie arched an eyebrow. "The music I was going to use isn't working, and I can't get the backup in time...can you help me?" the frantic Pink Ranger pleaded.

"Geez, why is everyone asking my help today?" Teddie rolled her eyes. "It's almost like I'm a super hero or something," she smirked, and Shelby brightened instantly. "Okay, I'll help you out. But I'm not part of the audition," she told Shelby, who nodded. "I'll go get my guitar," Teddie walked off as Shelby took deep breaths to try and calm down.

"Oof," Teddie bumped into someone, and looked up at the taller girl she'd walked into. "Sorry," the girl apologised, looking stressed.

"It's okay. Are you alright?" Teddie asked her, tilting her head.

"I just had my audition...I know I blew it..." she grumbled.

"Wait, that last singer, that was you?" Teddie stared at her. "You were awesome!" the girl blushed. "Trust me, you didn't blow it," Teddie smiled at her.

"What kind of person are you? Bigging up your competition?" the girl asked bashfully. Teddie laughed.

"I'm not auditioning. I mean I'm helping a friend with hers, but I know a good singer when I hear one. I'm Teddie," she introduced herself to the brunette.

"Cassie," the taller girl shook her hand. "Thank you. My friends couldn't make it and I just felt..."

"Like it was a critical hit to your self-esteem?" Teddie guessed, making the girl laugh.

"Yeah," Cassie nodded.

"Well trust me. That was awesome," Teddie told her confidently, making the girl's smile grow. "I better go, good luck," she waved.

"Thanks, and the same to your friend," Cassie told her, making Teddie's own smile widen.

Tyler stood in the doorway, looking awestruck as he heard Shelby singing along to the music Teddie played for her. When she was finished, everyone began to clap for her, including Tyler. Shelby blushed at the praise.

"That was great. I knew you'd be good," Levi praised her, sitting beside his manager. Shelby's blush only grew, and Tyler's smile faded.

"Next up is Tyler Hartford," Teddie looked up from tuning her guitar, as Shelby looked up in shock.

"Tyler?! You're auditioning?" Shelby ran over to him as Tyler looked nervously at the microphone in his hand.

"Yeah, so?" Tyler asked defensively.

"But you have stage fright," she reminded him in a quieter voice. Tyler went even paler.

"Hey Tyler, you're up," Levi smiled at him, gesturing for him to take the stage. Tyler took a breath and walked up. Teddie went to move, but Tyler stopped her.

"Dude, you guys need to start paying me," Teddie rolled her eyes.

"Let me guess, you're just his music too?" Levi asked her.

"Apparently I'm just a boom-box to these guys," Teddie complained, and Tyler managed a very small smile before Teddie started to play the song she'd tried to teach him. Tyler remembered the words, having heard Teddie singing it before.

"Woo!" Chase cheered awkwardly.

"Go on Tyler!" Koda cheered as Ivan and Olivia watched, concerned. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out, and the panic returned to him.

"Tyler!" Shelby rushed over to him as Tyler struggled to find the words.

"Is this part of his act?" Levi tilted his head, watching.

"We're a duo!" Shelby told him quickly, and whispered to Tyler. He visibly relaxed, and gave a small laugh.

"Okay, different song then," Teddie rolled her eyes. "You guys owe me," she warned the pair, and started to play. Shelby started to sing first.

"Just like a rainbow, bright and warm,
After a hazy summer storm,
Flowers blooming fresh with drops of dew," she sang, and Tyler took a breath.

"Watching you stare into the sky,
In the crimson sunlight,
That's when I fell in love with you," he sang, and the others clapped, impressed by Tyler's singing.

"Each moment in a picture frame,
I'm holding on,
No single shot will ever fade," Shelby continued with a smile, and the two sang to each other as Tyler completely relaxed, and at the end, everyone applauded the pair.

"Thank you," Tyler smiled to Shelby, who blushed and smiled back.

"That was great, you two," Levi praised them. "A really fun song to listen to," he told them, and they grinned, before Teddie pushed them off the stage.

"And with that, I'm done," she told the pair. Tyler caught her as Shelby went into the kitchen.

"Thank you," he whispered, and she shook her head.

"Don't worry about it dude. But honestly. Think about what Chase said," she told him, before their Dino Coms beeped. They went into the kitchen to join the others, and answered it.

'The split emitters are ready. Meet us in McCadden Forest,' Kendall told them.

"Okay, team," Kendall leaned over a map of the clearing that marked four spots. "This is the plan to ambush Kerberos. We need the four Split Emitters places precisely in these locations. Tyler, here is where you'll wait," Kendall indicated to the middle of the clearing. "Kerberos will have to come in this way. If he transforms, we can split him," she explained.

"But you will need to wait for him to be transforming before it'll work, remember that," RJ spoke up.

"No problem," the Rangers nodded, splitting up. They placed the devices in the four places, starting them up.

"Let's get back there and hope that this works," Teddie said to Chase as they activated the prism.

"It'll work Teddie," Chase told her confidently, putting a hand on her shoulder. "We'll get Jeremy back, don't worry," he smiled at her. Teddie nodded, before Chase stopped her. "Hold up," he smirked, pointing to where Tyler and Shelby were talking. Tyler was looking away as she talked, going red, before she put her hand on his chest. He looked up in surprise, and edged closer.

"Koda!" Teddie hissed, and the two grabbed the caveman as he went to approach them, pulling him back.

"What wrong?" Koda frowned, looking at the two in confusion.

"Shh," Teddie hushed him. Completely oblivious to what was going on around them, Tyler leaned in closer and kissed Shelby in a shy first kiss.

"The Split Emitters are-" Kendall stopped as the pair pulled away quickly, going bright red. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll just-"

"It's fine, we were just..."

"Oh, we know what you were doing mate," Chase smirked as they walked over.

"Spying, really?" Shelby hissed at them.

"Keeping Koda from ruining your moment, actually," Teddie giggled.

"You didn't really keep to a private location either," Olivia grinned as she walked over with James and Philip, and Tyler's embarrassment grew to the point where he vanished.

"Ah! Not again!" he yelped in alarm. Even Shelby and Kendall couldn't help but laugh at him. After calming down, Tyler turned visible again, but was still blushing.

"Tyler," Kendall managed to turn serious again. "This is very dangerous for you," she warned him.

"As long as I don't have to sing, I'm ready," he smiled. He took out the Dino Com from the jar they'd kept it in, and cleared his throat. "I'm going after Kerberos, he's gotta be the forest," he said, trying not to sound rigid.

"Tyler, you need to wait for the team," Teddie spoke up, having been chosen as the best actress of the group. And they could see why. "Please, at least let me go with you," she pleaded.

Kerberos leaned in closer to the old radio that had been connected to the bug he'd planted on Tyler's Dino Com. He smirked, listening with delight.

'No Teddie, I gotta handle this alone. He beat me last time, I won't let him win again,' the Red Ranger said awkwardly, but Kerberos didn't notice the way he spoke.

"Got him!" Wrench laughed.

'I'll do whatever it takes to beat him!' Tyler declared.

"Excellent work Kerberos," Lord Arcanon nodded, impressed.

"You'll soon have the Red Energem, Lord Arcanon," the wolf bowed to him. "And then, the rest will follow!" he laughed.

"The universe will finally be mine," Arcanon chuckled.

Tyler pulled the bug off his Dino Com, and crushed it in his hand.

"Kerberos should be here soon. Better get into position," he told them, and the others nodded.

"Be careful," Shelby told him, making him smile and squeeze her hand.

"I will Shelbs," he told her with a nod. As he walked away, the others Morphed and hid. Teddie grinned as they watched Tyler walk into position.

"Aw, so cute," she teased, and yelped as Shelby punched her arm. "Well it is," she giggled.

"I owe you for the auditions, don't make me regret it," Shelby warned her. Teddie just patted her shoulder.

"Sometimes I think Teddie might be a little too devious," Philip considered.

"Only sometimes mate?" Chase asked him, grinning in amusement. They watched as Tyler stood waiting, and Kerberos walked into view. Tyler took a breath, facing him.

"How nice of you to hand deliver an Energem to me," the wolf smirked.

"I'm leaving here with two Energems," Tyler promised him.

"You're not leaving here at all!" Kerberos growled, touching the leather collar around his neck. The Silver Energem shone from inside it, before vanishing inside it. Tyler raised his Charger, and the two ran at each other, Morphing. "Silver Strike!" he punched Tyler as they met in the middle, and Tyler let out a cry of pain as he was tossed through the air.

"Tyler..." Shelby went to stand, but Ivan stopped her.

"Not yet Shelby," Kendall shook her head.

"He has to wear Kerberos down so he'll change back," RJ warned her. Shelby hesitated, but nodded.

"I'm just getting started!" Kerberos kicked out at Tyler, who struggled to stand his ground, before he was shoved backwards. Tyler pushed forwards, and punched back, but Kerberos met him with a kick. He laughed as Tyler fell to the ground, groaning in pain. "Fool, you have no chance against me," the wolf taunted him as he demorphed. He held up a clawed hand, and it started to shine with power. "Thanks again, pathetic Ranger!" he laughed, but as he went to finish Tyler of, he froze. "No!" he wailed, stumbling back as the power in his hand faded.

"I think he's changing," Chase muttered.

"No! Jeremy! Not now! Just stay in there!" Kerberos stumbled backwards from Tyler.

"Get ready," RJ said to Kendall, who raised the remote to activate the Split Emitters.

"He's transforming!" Tyler yelled as Kerberos started to glow silver. "Ms. Morgan, do it!" he shouted, and she activated the machine. Tyler leapt away, and the lights slammed into Kerberos.

"What's happening?" he cried out, before an explosion rocked the area, and Kerberos landed on the ground as Jeremy rolled along in another direction.

"It worked!" RJ leapt down to Jeremy as Kerberos snarled, pushing himself up.

"You damn Rangers! You might have freed Jeremy, but I still have the Silver Energem!" Kerberos yelled as the others ran to join them.

"My head...it's clear," Jeremy breathed as RJ helped him up.

"Easy buddy," RJ smiled at him as Teddie ran over and hugged him tightly.

"Ah, ease up Ted, my ribs," Jeremy groaned.

"Kerberos is trying to escape!" James shouted, seeing the wolf stumble away.

"We can't let him escape!" Jeremy shook his head, glaring at his other self.

"Go on, I've got Jeremy," RJ told the team, who nodded and ran off.

"Dad..." Jeremy stared up at his dad, who smiled back at him.

"I'm glad you're alright," Jeremy hugged him tightly, and RJ let out a sigh of relief.

Light slammed into Kerberos, and he began to grow with a loud howl that echoed all over Amber Beach, and the Rangers stopped running.

"Let's fight fire with firepower!" Tyler cheered, and they summoned their three Megazords.

"Para Zord Blast!" the Rangers fired the shot that shoved Kerberos back with a howl of pain. He rushed at them, kicking out, but the Ptera Charge Megazord blocked it with the Scelido Shield.

"Let's finish this!"

"Ankylo Hammer Punch! Final Strike!"

"Bladed Raptor Slash, Final Strike!"

"Compo Blade Slash, Final Strike!" Kerberos yelled in pain as the three attacks collided with him, and the explosion rocked the area. Kerberos landed on the ground below with a groan, his body smoking.

"You halfwits, I'm defeated, but not destroyed!" he yelled up at them, putting a hand to his collar. "You'll never get the Silver Energem!" he vowed, running off with a laugh.

"Jeremy," Ari smiled as the Silver Ranger arrived in the base with the others. "It's good to see you're okay," she nodded to him.

"More or less," the blond nodded. "Arcanon still has the Dark Energem, and Kerberos has the Silver Energem," he sighed, looking around the base.

"This is bad..." Kendall looked worried.

"The Dark Energem is what turned me into Kerberos," Jeremy explained. "It was like he was splitting me apart. All I could feel was the darkness and evil," he shivered.

"You're alright now," RJ told him carefully, seeing the haunted look in Jeremy's eyes.

"I'm gonna go upstairs," he turned away, walking off, and Ari and RJ exchanged concerned looks. It was going to take a while for Jeremy to recover.

"Hey, Teddie," the White Ranger looked up and smiled as Cassie approached her. "I just wanted to say thanks. For what you said earlier. It really meant a lot," she said, and Teddie nodded.

"No problem. I meant what I said," she told the girl.

"I heard you playing guitar for your friends. You're really good," Cassie complimented, and Teddie blushed.

"Thanks, I-"

"Hey Ted," they looked around as Jeremy approached.

"Jeremy, how are you feeling?" Teddie smiled at him, and he shrugged.

"Ah you know. Whole," he said, and Teddie laughed as Cassie tilted her head, wondering just what he meant.

"Jeremy, this is Cassie, she's an amazing singer," Teddie introduced the pair, and Cassie blushed as Jeremy turned his blue gaze on her.

"Huh. Does this mean I can replace you?" he smirked, and Teddie slapped his arm.

"Not a chance, jerk!" she frowned at him. "JJ's a drummer," she explained to Cassie, who laughed.

"I see. And you're looking a new singer?" she asked, making Jeremy smile slightly.

"Well this is just great," Teddie rolled her eyes. "Enjoy your new band," she called tearfully, walking away, before grinning, glancing over her shoulder as Jeremy and Cassie started talking properly. "Now that I did not expect," she chuckled.

"Oh? My, only himself again for an hour and he's found himself a new friend," Ivan stood beside Teddie, smiling in amusement as Teddie giggled. However, it faded, and Ivan looked at Teddie as she looked thoughtful.

"Hey, Ivan?" she looked up at him, curious. "Do you think that's why Heckyl and Snide are the way they are? Because of the Dark Energem?" Teddie asked him curiously. Ivan frowned.

"Teddie...I thought-"

"I'm not going to, I swear," Teddie raised her hands quickly. "I drew the line, remember? He's evil and I'm good, it won't happen again," she insisted as Ivan watched her warily. He then looked away.

"The similarities are there, I will admit," he allowed, looking up at Jeremy. He still seemed off, but was already looking better. "But remember that Jeremy is good and Kerberos is evil. Both Heckyl and Snide are evil," Ivan told Teddie.

"I know. But I wonder, if I'm right, how they came across the Dark Energem," she wondered.

"Thanks for your patience," Levi called to the crowd in the café, and they all turned to hear his announcement as Tyler and Shelby walked over, holding hands. "I'm proud to announce that the covering artist for my latest tour, is...Cassandra Edinger!" he announced, and Cassie went rigid.

"Me?" she whispered.

"Congrats!" Teddie cheered. "Go on," she clapped as Shelby tried not to look too disappointed. Cassie walked over to Levi, shaking his hand and looking like she was trying not to throw up on him. "Sorry guys, but hey, seems everything worked out for the best," she called to Tyler and Shelby, who exchanged looks.

"Get her!" Teddie let out a cry and ran off as the two chased after her, making her laugh.
