In the hallways of Mystic Hallow High, a student slowly lifted his arm up. In his right hand was a pistol. Students began to run in utter panic, some were covering loved ones or friends to protect them. The individual wielding the gun fired. One shot. Two shot. Glass shatters. Blood splattered.

"Andi!"

"JT!"

6 Hours Earlier

James was walking the hallway. He noticed his girl, well his soon to be girl. He marched over and placed a hand on the locker of none other than Andi Watson. She tilted her head as he ex had shut her own locker, just to have a conversation.

"Move your hand, dickbag." Andi said.

James leans against the locker, "What? Can't we talk? We haven't talked in a long time?" He spoke.

Andi crosses her arms on her chest, "You got five minutes."

James smiles at her, "Look I want to apologize for my behavior when we were dating. I want to make it up, and since you and that JT guy are no longer dating I was thinking about a date for us. A movie or maybe even dinner." He spoke.

Andi rolls her eyes, "As tempting as it sounds, I'm not interested." She said.

James grabbed a hold of her hand, "Please, give me another chance."

Andi glares at him, "How many times do I have to tell you, no?" She spoke and pulled her hand out of his hold.

"Why won't you date me again?" He asks.

"Because you'll just go and cheat again, because after you cheated on me, you cheated on Kate." Andi said.

James placed his hands on her arms, "Forgive me. Please, you're everything to me." He said.

Across the hall, Garry noticed this from Clyde's locker. Clyde and JT had not noticed it, but when they saw Garry begin to walk over the two were aware of what was happening. Garry marched over to Andi, he grabbed James' hands to remove them off of Andi. Garry then shoves James back, Andi glanced at Garry then back to James.

James noticed Clyde and JT, "So tell me Andi, did JT break up with you because he found his true love the most gayest kid in school or did you end it because you realized you were dating a closet case homo?" James asks.

Garry placed a hand on James' chest to keep him back, "Whoa, why don't you mind your own business."

James shoves Garry back, "And who the hell are you? Her knight in shinning armor? I am the best thing for Andi." James said.

Clyde chuckles, "Oh I can tell." He joked.

Andi held a glare at Garry, "Leave now."

James chuckles, "You didn't deny it. So your ex over here is gay for the number one gay kid in school. I'm happy for the two of you maybe I can get invited to the wed-." James was cut off.

Suddenly, Andi slugged James in the jaw. This sent the boy to the floor. The three guys near Andi and James were shocked, they knew Andi was quite protective of her friends and family but they did not expect that. They expected name calling or maybe just shoving him back, but that was just shocking.

"Why don't you get the hell out of my life for good!" Andi yells.

James starts to gather himself, "But- Andi? I still love you."

Andi shakes her head in disbelief of what she is hearing, "And I don't love you. I will never love you. Hell, I don't even trust you. So stay away from me or I'll give you a black eye." Andi said.

What happened next was shocking, without even realizing it Andi grabbed Garry's hand and began to walk off. Garry was shocked by this, the two got a couple of feet walking before she stopped and let go of him. Clyde and JT watched what went down next, Andi shoved Garry and then continued walking. Clyde and JT shakes their head as they went over to Garry.

James stood up glaring, "You'll pay for that."

-MONSTERHUNTERS-

"Damn that James," Drew said.

It was lunch for the teens. They were sitting at their usual table, it was a nice spot because they were far enough away they could talk about ranger business if they needed to. Although, instead they weren't talking about the lack of attacks by Sheppard, though they were all convinced that he and the demons were up to something.

Lilly turns to Andi, "Are you okay?"

Andi nods, "I'm fine. Can we stop talking about that ass?"

Clyde grins, "Sure. So how come you grabbed Garry's hand after you told James off?" Clyde asks.

Andi glanced at Clyde, "I don't know. It just happened." She said.

Clyde snickers, "Oh sure it did."

Drew glanced at Andi and Garry, "Do you two like each other?"

Andi and Garry looked at one another for a moment, "No." They both said without blushing.

Lilly grabs a hold of her boyfriend, "Don't be so harsh. I know you're protective of Andi, but she is grown enough to decide who she wants to date." Lilly said.

Clyde and Lilly went with Drew to take up the trash at the table, which included Andi's, JT's, and Garry's trash. JT excused himself to go to the bathroom, which left the two alone. Garry glanced at Andi, she was looking at her knuckles. They were showing some signs of bruising.

"You okay?" Garry asks.

Andi looks at her fist, "Yeah."

Garry rubs the back of his neck, "Sorry about that kiss yesterday." He admitted.

Andi glanced to him, "Wha- Why are you sorry?" She asks.

Garry looks at her with a smile, "It's obviously making things awkward between us." He said.

Andi frowns, "No it's not. It's actually making things more real." She said.

"More real?" He asks.

Andi turns to him again, "I had only had two relationships. One with James and look how that went down, then the one with JT. And well- we broke up." She said.

Garry turns to face her, placing a hand on her bruising hand. He started to faintly blush and so was Andi, both without realizing it.

"Are you ever going to tell any of us why you two broke up?" He asks.

Andi shakes her head, "It's not for me to say." She said.

Standing afar was James. He made his hands into fists and stormed into the bathroom, he noticed the guy who stole his girl. It was JT, he was washing his hands at the sink. JT noticed James, he also could tell how angry James was because the guy was shaking and seem really angry.

"Andi dumped you. She dumped you because of how gay you are." James declared.

JT frowns, "So what that she dumped me. Why do you care?" JT asks.

James steps forward, "I want to- I need to get back together with her. But because of you getting in my way the first time and now the rich guy are ruining my chance to be with her." James spatted.

JT tried to get around James, "Maybe Andi knows the real you and she doesn't want her heart to break a second time." JT said.

James grabbed a hold of JT's arm and pulled him against the wall, "I am sick and tired of people getting in the way of our love."

JT chuckles, "Your love is one sided." He said, "I doubt Andi even loves you like how crazy you are about her."

James grins, "I'm going to teach you for saying such a thing." James then snapped his fingers.

Stepping in were two other guys. They were twins, the Roger twins. They were good players for the basketball team. Both gingers and have quiet an athletic body type. JT has seen them work out before in the gym in town, and knows how strong the two are.

James shoves JT harder against the wall, "You are such a fag." He spatted in JT's face.

The eldest twin, Connor, punched JT in the face. The left cheek was beginning to get pink. JT winced at the pain he was facing, he looked up at the three bullies in front of him. Before he could even do anything, Connor throws another punch on JT.

"I'll give you a choice help me get Andi back or suffer." James said.

JT spit in James' face, "Screw you."

James punched JT straight in the face, which caused JT's nose to start bleeding. JT's body went back against the bathroom wall from the force James punched him. The other twin, Cody, punched JT in the stomach hard. Which caused JT to collapse onto the ground. Groaning in pain.

"What the hell are you doing?" Andi yells.

JT opened his eyes to see his friends standing there in the boys restroom. Drew and Garry had punched both twins and they were up against the wall much like how they had JT prior. James looked from the twins to Andi. He was screwed.

"I- I was trying to stop them!" James yells.

Cody then yells, "He made us!"

Connor nods, "He paid us!"

Andi glares, "How dare you!" Andi went to charge at James.

She was stopped though, Garry stopped her. Andi was shocked by this.

"You and Lilly go take JT to the nurse and go get a teacher." Garry said all serious.

Lilly looked at Garry, "Alright."

Andi glared at Garry, "James is an ass and he needs to-."

"Right now," Garry turns to Andi, "JT is more important."

Andi nods, "You're right."

Both girls knelt down to their leader. JT had dried blood on his shirt and on his face. Lilly and Andi placed on arm over their own shoulder and carefully carried JT out of the restroom. Garry waited for the girls to be fully out of the room before he charged at James. He punched James straight in the face. James could taste the blood in his mouth, he eyed Garry hovering above him.

"I will not repeat you piece of crap, you will not come near any of my friends again or so help me." Garry said.

James spit some of the blood on the floor, "Is that a threat, rich boy?"

Garry grins, "It's a promise, asshole."

Just after that, a teacher came in. The twins confessed everything to them and so the three were taken to the principal's office, which left the three rangers to head to the school nurse.

-MONSTERHUNTERS-

In the nurses office JT was cleaned up. The rangers were in the nurses office, the nurse decided to give the kids some space. Garry glanced from Andi to JT, she was sitting in the chair next to JT and she was holding his hand. JT had a smile on his face as he looked at her then to the others.

"I think I should confess something to you all." JT said.

"Confess something? Did you start the fight?" Drew asks.

JT shakes his head, "No. Even though that jerk deserves whatever punishment our principal gives him. I have been kind of off for a while and well, it wasn't until Andi and I dated I realized that she might be right on why our relationship was flawed."

"It was flawed?" Lilly asks and looked at Andi.

Andi nods.

"So what is it?" Clyde asks.

"Like you all are aware of, I never had dated any of the girls here. I never was interested in dating and after dating Andi, and having enough time to think about it. I love Andi, but not the way a boyfriend would love his girlfriend. I care about her but like a sister. I've realized that she was right." JT said.

"So Andi isn't the one for you. So what?" Garry asks.

JT fumbles with his fingers, "Well it means I'm- I'm gay." JT said.

Everyone remain silent for a moment.

"I hope it doesn't change how you all feel about me." JT said.

Clyde walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder, "No it doesn't. Take it from me, I get it." Clyde said while smiling.

Drew also walks over, "I don't care what your sexuality is, you're still the same JT." Drew said.

Lilly walks over nodding, "Yeah nothing changes." She said.

Garry walks over as well, "We're still friends." He said.

Andi smiles at JT, "You know how I feel. Nothing changes it." Andi said.

JT smiles. He wasn't sure how they were going to handle it. So in this sweet moment, the entire team group hugged each other.

-MONSTERHUNTERS-

As the teens exited the nurse's office after the nurse cleared JT to finish out the rest of the day, they were heading to seventh period. However, the same moment they exited the nurse's office was when James exited the principal's office. The slightly bruised bullied glared at the group of teens as he held his backpack in his hands.

"We- We were suppose to be together." James said.

Andi stopped and turned around, "That chapter in our life is over. Jamie, please get over it." Andi seemed a bit upset.

James looked at her differently, "Jamie? You- You called me Jamie?" James spoke.

Andi looks at him seriously, "You have to let us go. For your own sanity." She said.

James nods to himself, "You're right."

Andi begins to leave with her friends, because Garry was nudging her in the direction of their class. However, James reached into his backpack and pulled out a pistol.

"I have to let you go, Andi." James said.

Andi and her friends turned around. Andi saw the gun James was holding being aimed at her, her eyes widen. The students noticed this and began to run in panic. Garry glanced from James to Andi, he started to hold onto her hand and kind of direct her away.

"Goodbye." James said.

James fired one shot, glass shattered as the bullet hit it. Panic rose quickly as students ran through the hallway. A second shot escape through the panic. James stood there in complete calm as he dropped the gun and then was thrown against the ground by art teacher, Mr Stevenson.

"Is everyone okay?" Mr Stevenson asks.

There were some students crying from fear and others already on their phones calling the police, as well as the staff and principal. Garry turns his head at Andi, she was laying on the ground. He did indeed tackle her.

"Andi!"

He crawled over. He flipped her over only to find she had a head wound, she was unconscious but breathing. Her right side of her head was bleeding, so he lifted her head to sit on his lap. Garry turned to see Lilly being hugged by Drew. Then he turned around to see Clyde.

"JT!"

Clyde knelt down and saw their leader with a gunshot wound on his shoulder. JT was holding onto his shoulder while trying to stop the large amount of bleeding. Clyde looked at JT with concern, he placed his own hands on JT's wound and looked at his friend with a smile.

"You'll be okay," Clyde smiles, "You'll be fine."

-MONSTERHUNTERS-

Gordon raced through the hospital. He was a father in panic. He ran past the press and the police officers, he even past some of the parents of the students were had minor injuries. He then found his son, he was next to his ex wife. Gordon reached Drew and then embraced his son so tightly. To Zoe's shock, Drew did hug back.

"Drew," Gordon said, "I'm glad you're safe."

Drew sniffed, "I was so afraid, dad."

Gordon nods, "I know. It'll be okay." He said.

Zoe placed a hand on Gordon's shoulder.

Lilly was being hugged by her own parents. Even her own brother was there. They were all concerned they even closed down the store to be at the hospital, even though she didn't have serious injuries they knew Lilly's friends were in the hospital from this.

Clyde was sitting by Kaycee and her family. Kaycee held onto Clyde's hand, both her and him were a bit shaken by this. He felt Kaycee's mom partly hug him and Kaycee's dad place a hand on his shoulder. As much as this made him feel happy, part of him wished his own family was here for him. But he also wanted to know how JT was.

"Garry!"

Garry turned around to see his older brother, Peter. Peter looked like an older version of Garry. Garry was shocked when his older brother grabbed a hold of him and pulled him in for a hug. Peter held onto Garry tightly, which was a shock for him as well. Peter never hugged him.

"I'm so happy you're safe." Peter said.

Garry held onto him, "Thank you for being here." He said.

Peter pulled back, "So how are your friends?"

Garry frowns, "One is in surgery and the other one is getting stitches, but we aren't aloud back there until they finish making sure that's the only issue." He said.

Peter nods, "I'm glad nothing worst happened. I don't know what I'd do if my kid brother got seriously hurt." Peter said.

Garry had a smile for a moment and then Andi's mom stepped out. She walked over to JT's parents, giving them good news which was wonderful. JT's mom, Iris, walked over to the group of teens with their families awaiting of answers.

"JT is going to be fine." Iris said.

Clyde was the first up, "Can we- can we see him?"

Iris turns to her husband and nods, "Of course. It was you after all who helped save my son." She said.

Clyde felt Lilly place a hand on his shoulder with a smile. Drew was next to Clyde, and then Garry was next to Drew. Clyde felt a warm feeling, a feeling that these people were his family. However before they were about to go, Garry realized he needed to see Andi.

"Um, Andi's mom?" Garry spoke.

Andi's mom, Natasha, looked at Garry, "Yes?"

"Which room is your daughter in?" He asks.

Natasha noticed something in Garry's eyes and smiled, "We put JT and Andi in the same room. Since their injures were serious, they'll be released as soon as they are cleared which should be in hours or maybe a day." She said.

The teens nods and head off to the room that they were told to go to. Upon reaching the room, they see their injured friends awake. Drew ran over to check on Andi, she was pleading she was fine and to stop fussing over her. Once the entire group looked at them they should see how exhausted they partly were. Andi had stitches on her right side of her head to close the wound from the shattered class and she was told she had a minor concussion. JT had his shirt off to reveal his wound wrapped up with bandage.

"How are you two?" Lilly asks.

"Exhausted." Andi said.

JT nods, "Ditto."

Clyde smiles, "We're glad you're alright."

Andi smiles.

"Thanks," JT said, "Clyde, you saved me."

Clyde faintly blushes, "You would have done the same for me."

Garry then interrupts, "Okay I'm sorry but I need to say something."

All eyes on him.

"After what happened today I need to get this out there. I deeply care about you, Andi. I don't care if you don't feel the same, but I truly care about you and I just want you to be happy. And if you calling me Richie Rich makes you happy, then I'll take that everyday just to please you." Garry spoke.

Silence.

"Did he just-?" Clyde spoke.

"Confess to Andi?" Drew spoke.

"Oh wow." Lilly seemed shocked.

JT looked from Andi to Garry.

"You going to say anything?" Garry asks.

Andi motions for him to lean forward. So Garry complies, when he does Andi kisses him on the lips. When they pull back they share a smile before hearing their friends clap and cheer.

"About time!" Clyde said.

Garry blushes, "You knew?"

Clyde chuckles, "Had a feeling for a while."

Lilly laughs, "You two teasing each other it was bound to happen."

Drew gets over to Garry, "You break her heart and I-"

"Drew!" Andi cuts him off, "I'm a big girl and I can handle myself."

Drew nods.

JT smiles, "Congrats you two."

After that said. The teens all began talking and laughing. Lilly and Drew shared a kiss on the cheek while holding hands, Clyde sat in the chair right next to JT's bed, JT was laughing from what Clyde had said, Garry was sitting on the edge of Andi's bed leaning against her and holding her hand, Andi felt Garry kiss the top of her head and she smiles.

(A/N: I was suppose to update Jurassic Squad but I started working on this chapter and just wanted to continue. Also, for lack of updates as quick as I use to be is because I am obsessed with Pokemon Go! I am currently level 16 and I'm playing it with my mom. It's cool showing her how to play and also her learning the names of the Pokemon, this is the generation I grew up with in the late 90s and early 2000s. So I've been doing that and working a part time job in my grandparent's human resource office, I'm just sorting paper work and recycling it right now. I'll make sure this laziness of mine for updating stops. However, hope you enjoyed this chapter! -ICrzy)
