-JURASSICSQUAD-

At Clover Hill High, Artie was walking down the hallway. He was in a hurry, a hurry to find someone. He carried his hall pass and exit the back door leading to the outdoor basketball courts. Artie glanced around and then he stopped as he stood underneath the hoops. He leaned against the pole for the hoop and took in a deep breathe. However, he was startled when a mysterious figure scared the teenage boy. He turned around to see none other than Geena there. Geena looked more human, more normal than in her usual form. Her usual black hair in a braid was loose and flowing, it was actually quite long and curly. She was wearing a little black dress with black baby doll flats on, she also was wearing sunglasses to cover her golden eyes.

"So, Blackie. You decide to answer my messages." Geena spoke.

Artie turned around, "Sh! No one here needs to know about that side of me." Artie said.

Geena peaked up, "Oh? You mean like that half brother of yours? The one you nearly killed, twice." Geena said.

Artie pointed at her violently, "I can't control this power. I can't be your little servant." Artie said.

Geena chuckles, "You actually think you can walk away from this. Listen, dear. No one walks away from this unless Master Ripto allows it." Geena said.

Artie glares, "Watch me."

Artie began to walk away, but then felt a shock go through his system. He collapsed onto the ground and then reached for his belt. On his belt was a pager style item, it had similar marking as the Jurassic Squad morphers. It even had a black gem in the upper center of the device. Artie stared at it and then felt another shock go up his spine, he turned around to see Geena walk over with a grin on her face. She knelt down with her face real close to his face.

"Listen, you can try to escape it but you are stuck with us." Geena said.

Then the women handed him the hall pass he dropped on the ground, and vanished. Artie stood up slowly, barely stumbling and taking in deep breathes. He was nervous and a bit afraid as he headed back int he direction of the high school.

-JURASSICSQUAD-

During English class, the five were in a group working on a group project. However, KZ seemed a bit out of it. She seemed to be day dreaming, or just unfocused is all. Jenny nudged her friend to gain her attention, KZ snapped out of it. When KZ was brought back to the land of reality, she saw the guys and Jenny giving her a concern look. Jared most of all, he wasn't sure what was going on and he would worry the fastest. KZ looked at the time and realized she had zoned out for five minutes.

"KZ, you okay?" Jared asks.

KZ shakes her head, "I think I might have some bad news."

Omar looks at her, "What do you mean?"

Hunter leaned back on his chair, "Unless it beats my dead beat dad trying to meet up, then its not that bad." Hunter said.

KZ bite her lip, "It has to do with- our after school activity." She said.

The other four exchanged looks and then they all pulled their seats closer, it could look strange but since their English assignment was to create a debate on a subject the other groups would want to keep their topic a secret from the other teams. So to the other students and Mr. Nelson, it just looked like that their group was working hard and had a topic or something. KZ saw her friends move so quickly over and was a bit unsure how to address this.

"So what is it?" Jenny asks.

KZ was fumbling with her pencil, "I think- Artie might be the Black Ranger."

There was a long pause, and all eyes shifted to Jared. They wanted to see his reaction, which made no difference. Jared was so internal, he never liked to express his deep feelings on the outside. He felt like it didn't accomplish much, so his expression remain more of confusion than anger or rage like the rangers were expecting.

"No he isn't." Jared said.

KZ shrugs his shoulders, "I don't want to believe it but- it kind of makes sense." She said.

Omar turns to KZ, "What do you mean?"

KZ turns to the others, "His sudden change behavior. Like he went from being all cool with Jared to distant. It all started after the Halloween party." KZ said.

Jenny nods, "Yeah. He did get all strange." Jenny said.

KZ nods as well, "And that fight with the Black Ranger and Drago- Artie has a wound on the same arm as the Black Ranger's injury." KZ said.

Jared was left in his thoughts.

Hunter then jumped in, "Wait- if he is siding with the bad guys, why he is not targeting us now? Or why is he tagging along with those creeps?" Hunter asks.

Jenny shakes her head, "Maybe he didn't know what he was getting involved in."

"Or maybe he doesn't even realize what he doing. Maybe he is under mind control." Omar said.

KZ nods, "That is true." Her voice was soften.

Jared then spoke, "He knew."

"What?" The four said.

With that the bell rang, and the four rangers watched their leader collect his things and quickly escape out of the classroom. The four trailed along behind him, trying to keep up. Artie had French before, and was leaving the French classroom. The teens watched as Jared grabbed a hold of Artie's shirt and drag him down the hallway.

"Jared- wait!" Artie yelped.

Jared actually left the building, and so did the other four teens.

-JURASSICSQUAD-

Jared had stopped him and Artie in the parking lot, no one was there. Jared threw Artie up against a car and crossed his arms on his chest. Artie had a confused expression on his face.

"Bro, what's up?" Artie asks.

"Tell me they are wrong." Jared said.

Artie seemed confused, "Huh?"

At this moment Omar, Jenny, Hunter, and KZ arrived in the parking lot. Jared was making his hands in fists.

"Tell me they are wrong!" Jared shouted.

Everything jumped slightly at Jared yelling, Artie looked at his older brother. He was shocked by this, he had not seen Jared pissed at him since they first met. He wasn't completely certain what Jared was referring to, but deep down in his gut he had a small feeling it had to do with his secret.

"Wrong about what, man?" Artie asks.

Jared grabbed Artie's right arm and pulled up the sleeve, revealing a scratch that seemed to be a few weeks old which was now scarring. Jared stared at it, he heard gasped from behind. His friends seemed to had some doubt that Artie could be their enemy. But when Jared heard the gasp, he shoved his brother back roughly and gave him a glare. Artie stumbled back and his sleeve began to roll back down. He looked from the ground to his brother.

"Jared, I can explain." Artie said.

"Explain? You want to explain now?" Jared spoke.

Artie looks at his brother, "It's crazy I know!"

Jared was fuming with rage, "You tried to kill me! Twice!"

Artie felt the guilt, "I know. I'm sorry."

"You're sorry? That's all you can say!" Jared yells.

Artie looks up, "Look I made a mistake okay!"

Jared crosses his arms on his chest, "Why did you do it?" Jared asks.

Artie looks down, "Because you lied to me."

The four rangers looked at each other, in utter confusion.

"Huh?" Jenny asks.

"He lied to you?" Omar asks.

Artie turns now seeing the other four teens, "I found out your secret. You being a Power Ranger, at that Halloween party. And you lied to me, Jared. You told me you wouldn't keep any secrets from me, and yet you did." Artie said.

Jared points to himself, "So this is my fault?"

Artie shakes his head, "Yes- wait no."

KZ stepped in, "Why don't you start from the beginning."

Artie exhales deeply, "I- When I found out about you being a Power Ranger, I did some digging about them. Did research raging from Reefside, Norland, Meadowedge, Unity Lakes, and so on. I found out there are a lot of veteran rangers all over the world and I was trying to find out how you got your powers. I was curious." Artie said.

Hunter steps forward, "So how did you end up out to kill us?"

Artie turned to Hunter and then glanced back at Jared, "I didn't know who they were. Just a women- she contacted me. Said she had an offer for me, and offer that was a once in a lifetime. So we met up and she showed me this." Artie said.

Artie lifted up his shirt to reveal the pager style morpher clipped to his belt. The others gasped but not Jared, he was still pissed beyond belief.

"She told me it contained a large amount of power, the power of stegosaurus. Told me that I'd have enough power to fight the good fight, honest." Artie said.

Omar then shoots a glare, "And yet you nearly kill your brother and us."

Artie shakes his head, "The first time- heck every time I've used this morpher, I'm not myself. It's as if- something is controlling me." Artie said.

Jared then spoke, "Why didn't you tell me? I thought secrets were done in our family?"

Artie looked at his brother, "You kept one first."

Jared looked down and then up, "Mine was to keep you safe. I don't plan on telling Brooke or dad, I wasn't planning telling you. I didn't want to threaten your life." Jared said.

Artie looked down, "I was afraid to tell. I was afraid how you'd react." He said.

Jared shakes his head, "We could've helped. Instead, you didn't trust me." Jared said.

Suddenly there was an explosion near the back of the school. The rangers all turn to each other and reach into their pockets for their morphers, Artie witnessed this. He was impressed by this, seeing his brother grab his morpher claiming that he was right even though Artie already knew. Just seeing the morphers in person just made it seem even more real than the facts pointed at. Jared turned to his team and nodded, then he turned his attention to his brother.

"Stay out of the way." Jared said.

-JURASSICSQUAD-

Drago was slashing his sword up and down like a crazy person. However, when he felt the blast from the Yellow Ranger's blaster, the dragon beast stopped and turned around. Drago's eyes narrowed upon seeing the rangers. Jared tighten his grip on his sword and held a glare underneath his helmet. Drago took a step forward and he pointed his sword at the rangers.

"I am looking for that worthless, Black Ranger. He is going to pay." Drago said.

Hunter cocked his head, "Why do you want the Black Ranger?"

"He ruined me. He took everything from me and now he'll pay, with his life." Drago said.

Jared stepped forward, "Not if I have any say in it." Jared said.

Drago seemed bewildered, "You'd risk yourself for the enemy? He isn't your concern."

Jared glared, "But death isn't the solution."

"Of course it is," Drago said.

KZ stepped in, "No. It isn't."

Drago then growled, "Fine. If you won't help me with this, then I'll have to defeat you and then find that worm."

Drago charged over quickly. Omar blocked the blade from Drago with his spear, he managed to loosen Drago's grip in his hand. Then Omar went to stab the dragon, but Drago grabbed Omar's spear and tossed him in the air and he landed up against the tennis nets. Jenny was firing her blaster at the dragon, Drago turned to her. As Drago went to charge at her, Hunter quickly swiftly ran in front. He used his two daggers in each hand to block off the sword. Hunter kicked Drago back, and at this moment KZ joined the fight. Drago ducked to avoid KZ's bow staff, which then he barely missed Hunter's daggers.

Jared knelt down to help Omar up, "You okay?"

Omar nods, "Go in. I'm fine."

Omar starts to stand, and Jared nods. Jared runs in as Drago kicks KZ back. Drago quickly turns and had successfully blocked Jared's blade, and it was a close call since Jared's blade was inches from Drago's face. Hunter then kicked Drago directly in the chest causing the dragon to fall on his back. Jenny fired her blaster again, and this time Drago growled a loud growl. The rangers had covered their ears, the roar was so powerful. Jared looks up and sees Drago taking advantage of this, so he shoved Hunter out of the way and quickly blocked Drago's blade with his own.

"Nice save, Red." Drago spoke.

Jared shoves Drago off of him, Drago stumbled back. Jared turns back for a second to see his team had stood up and were ready for this fight.

"Looks like your out numbered." Omar says.

Jenny nods, "There is five of us and one of you." Jenny said.

Drago smirks, "Doesn't mean shit. I'll still end you."

Jared chuckles underneath his helmet, "You've tired and yet here we are." Jared said.

Drago went to charge but then was blasted by an outside source. Everyone paused on what was going on and turn to that direction, in that direction was none other than the Black Ranger. He held his blaster in one hand and his sword in the other. Drago turns with a smirk on his face, completely done with the Jurassic Rangers. His fight was with the Black Ranger. Jared sees Drago turn away from them, and charge toward Artie. Artie had braced himself. He had slashed with his sword, but something was different this time. His movements were as trained as the last times, it was as if it was just plain Artie.

"Something is different." Hunter said.

"Maybe he was right about being controlled." Omar said.

Jenny turns to Jared, "Jared,"

"What do we do?" KZ asks.

Jared looks from his team and then to the battlefield, "Damn it."

Jared bolted in the direction of the fight. The teens were about to yell at the recklessness their leader was doing but had not been paying attention to the fight. Drago had slashed his blade at Artie and the Black Ranger fell to the ground. Drago walked over to the once mighty Black Ranger with now his sword in his hands, Drago armed with two swords is worst than just one. Drago began to laugh.

"How the mighty Black Ranger has fallen." Drago said.

As Drago went to end Artie, the boy closed his eyes, but instead did not feel pain. Artie opened his eyes to see red covering him. Red, not blood. But red as in a red suit. It was Jared who swooped in and blocked two blades with his own, though there was a struggle. Drago's might against Jared's might.

"I don't understand, why?" Artie asks.

Jared struggles to keep the blades from his own neck, "You don't have to understand. My duty is to protect the world, and even if I'm against it well you're apart of this world. So if that means saving you then I got to, bro." Jared said.

Drago then was surprised with what happened next, Jenny opened fired and Hunter jumped in the air and punched the dragon in the jaw. Drago rolled on the ground, in pain. Once standing he sees the now six rangers, standing up. Standing against him.

"So you've teamed up. Got a new player, huh?" Drago said.

KZ rested her bow staff on her shoulders, "Still the odds are not in your favor."

Drago smirks, "Maybe not. But I'd wash my hands of the Black Ranger, he would not be worth as a friend." Drago said.

Jared looks at him, "We'll do what we want."

Just as it seemed like it was planned Jared nodded at Hunter, and Hunter tossed a dagger in the direction of the basketball hoops. Over there was none other than Geena, her presence was made. She dodged the dagger and then jumped over to stand by Drago.

"Oh, so you're switching teams? I don't want to be you right now." Geena said.

Artie stiffen, "Oh yeah?"

Geena giggles, "Master Ripto is not going to be happy."

Jared then stepped in front, "Let him."

Geena grins, "Oh you have no idea what you've started."

Geena and Drago vanished. After that the rangers all powered down, and that included Artie. Jared turned to Artie, still mad at his brother he decided he wasn't going to go all external on this.

"Um, thanks man." Artie said.

Jared nods.

Omar awkwardly cuts in, "Well now we have a new rangers, right?"

Jenny and KZ shrug awkwardly while Hunter rested his hands behind his head, trying not to say a thing.

"I guess, so. If you want me." Artie said.

KZ turns from her boyfriend to Artie, "We might want Adam to look at that morpher of yours."

Artie nods, "Okay I really don't get-." In the middle of his sentence he felt another shock like before.

This shock sent him to the ground, he screamed in pain. Jared's sudden brotherly instincts came in, kneeling down and grabbed his brother but was thrown back by the shock. KZ held onto Jared and looked at Artie, Artie seemed to be shocked for quite some time until the shocks finally died down. The boy had his hands and knees in the dirt of the ground, and nearly collapsed more. At this moment Jared was trying to keep his brother up,
and looking at him with worry. Jenny and Hunter looked at each other, Omar was trying to help Jared, and KZ glanced at them until she noticed someone coming over.

"Is he okay?" The teens knew that voice.

It was Tia, well Miss Moore to them. She seemed to be in panic, more or less worried about the teenagers since she knew the risks of being a ranger like they are currently doing. Without really explaining the situation, Jared starts to help Artie up.

"We need to take him to Adam. We need to have Zara look at that morpher." Jared said.

Tia's eyes shifted to Jared, "You mean?"

"Yeah," Jared muttered.

(A/N: I thought I'd post this chapter. I know not many of you follow my Awaken The Beast series and people who follow that do not follow this story so I am just going to say it. I am going to be absent from updating for a while, maybe. I am certain I will be but who knows. I am just preparing you. I have work, and will be working more hours until my boss can't have me work the hours she'll like when I start up college. Also, my sister will be moving out so I'll be helping with that. Another thing, is my dad is leaving for work out of state. Which will be leaving my mom and I, so she said we won't be staying home when I'm not working. So basically I am going to have a life. But don't worry, I'll try to come around. If not, I'm sorry. -ICrzy)
