A/N: Thank you all for the great reviews! I was surprised I even got four, I mean, I was only expecting maybe one or two, so that was cool! Oh, just wondering, but could you guys maybe tell me what you like? I mean, your reviews are awesome, but I kind of want to know what you like. I mean, it's no problem if you don't, but I would like it. Other than that, Wanli8970, brought up a a question about if I needed any OCs for this season. I'll have to say no, unfortunately, as I have most of my characters planned out for this season, the next one, and even the one after that. However, if I am ever in need of a character, I will not hesitate to ask you guys! Now, ending this horribly long author's note, here is the chapter.

Stan is portrayed by Patrick Dempsey

Mr. Wilson is portrayed by Leonardo Dicaprio

Christian is portrayed by Tristan Wilds

Mark is portrayed by Zachary Gordon

Ms. Johnson is portrayed by Kristen Bell

"Gross! Get a room you two!" Robin teased, seeing the red ranger making out with his girlfriend at break.

Nikki pulled away and gave her friend a light push and laughed. "Robin, you're just jealous."

Robin snorted. "Oh really? Of you and Matt? Please. I don't need a boyfriend to be happy."

"Good, cause you ain't never gonna get one." Jesse commented as he, Spencer, and Scott joined them.

Robin pushed Jesse back, making him fall off of his seat. "Gee, thanks." He rolled his eyes, and allowed Scott to help him up.

"Oh, well, sorry." Robin said sarcastically. "I didn't mean to push you after you insulted me."

"Will you guys spend one day not arguing?" Scott wondered aloud.

"It's not my fault." Robin argued.

"You're right." Matt interjected. "It's both of your faults."

"You guys only argue because you're too afraid to admit your love for each other." Nikki joked.

"Gross." Jesse gagged.

Robin looked disgusted, but said nothing, prompting Nikki to continue. "Oh, come on, Robin. Admit it."

"Ew." Robin said. "Why don't you just make out with your boyfriend?"

Matt raised an eyebrow. He remembered the first time he had met Nikki.

~Flashback~

Two years before, his father dragged him to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with him due to the fact that his mother and father were fighting, and his father didn't want him to be with his mother.

"Do we have to be here? Why couldn't I have stayed with mom?" Matt complained.

"Oh, come on, you'll like it. Other people bring their kids too. There's a girl that comes with her mom around your age." Stan responded.

"A girl?" Matt frowned, but when his father pointed to the back room, he saw her. At the time, Nikki had long dirty blonde hair. "Oh, well, I'll just go back there." Matt smiled as he stepped into the back room, and admired her from afar for a few minutes, before introducing himself.

"Hi, I'm Matthew." He held out his hand.

She stopped playing with her younger brother and looked up at him with a smile. "Hi, I'm Nicole."

~End of Flashback~

"Matt?" Nikki was waving her hand in front of his face. He suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked at her.

"What?"

Nikki gave him a strange look. "The bell rang, it's time for class. Are you alright?"

Matt smiled. "What? I'm fine." He looked back at the other rangers, who were already walking to class. He and Nikki both stood up, kissed, and walked off to their classes.

Liela looked away from the monitors and looked over to Kyro. "When will they unlock their spirits?"

"When their guardians deem necessary." Kyro answered.

"Who are their guardians?" Liela asked.

"Ace is Matt's, Darryl is Jesse's, Ryan is Spencer's, Quentin is Scott's, and you are Robin's."

"Me?" Liela answered. "I'm honored. You don't get to decide anyone?"

"Well, everyone else has already unlocked their spirits." Kyro stated. "I really don't mind. I am their guardian."

"We only get to choose when they their spirits." Liela concluded. "Interesting."

~PRDS~

Matt sat in class, not at all really interested in what the teacher, Mr. Wilson was teaching. Joey sat next to him, eyeing him carefully. Matt looked over at her, and she turned back to the front. He remembered the first time he met Joey and Ace.

~Flashback~

"Come on, Matt." Stan pushed his son forward, pulling a suitcase identical to Matt's. He knocked on the door, while Matt turned to his father. Chase stood next to Matt, holding a small backpack.

"Do I have to stay here?" Matt groaned.

Stan gave his oldest son a disapproving look. "Their nice people. Anyway, I don't want you..."

"Staying with mom. Yeah, I got it the first time." Matt finished rudely. The door opened, and a large, african american man stood in the doorway with his daughter behind him.

"Hey, it's Stan!" He stepped out of the house and shook Matt's father's hand. He looked at Matt. "And you must be Matt, and Chase." He shook Matt's hand, and did the same to little Chase, who smiled. "I'm John, but you can call me Ace, and this is my daughter, Josephine."

"It's Joey." Josephine said, stepping out of the house as well and shaking Matt's hand. "It's nice to meet you."

"Yeah, you too." Matt gave her a small smile.

~End of Flashback~

The bell rang, alerting them to lunch. Most kids rushed out as fast as they could, but right as Matt stepped out of the door, Joey stopped him.

"Where have you been? You haven't been home in two days, and I'm worried sick. Chase misses you." Joey looked at him with genuine concern.

"Chase will be fine, and Ace should know." Matt said, remembering what Kyro had said.

"He does, but he won't tell me." Joey responded. "Can you?"

Matt bit his lip and shook his head. "No, I can't." He paused. "Is Ace picking you up from school today?"

"No, but he is tomorrow. Why?"

"I just want to talk to him, that's all." Matt answered, and looked over at the table where the other rangers were sitting. "I have to go." He hastily walked away from her and over to the others.

"Hey, what's up?" Scott greeted.

"Nothing." Matt answered, and looked around. "Where's Nikki?"

"The usual." Robin replied, pointing over to where Nikki was sitting with her friends.

"Oh." Matt nodded. Spencer studied the red ranger for a moment. "What?" Matt asked, not exactly kindly.

Spencer quickly averted his gaze and looked down. The other rangers were taken back, and Jesse stepped in. "Whoa, what was that? You can't talk to him like that."

Matt sighed. "I'm sorry."

Spencer nodded. "It.. it's fine." His voice was small.

Laughter was heard from behind Spencer. "Hey, look who it is! It's Spencer."

It was Christian Dell and Mark Becker. Christian was a tall African American teenager with brown hair and eyes, while Mark was a short Caucasian teenager with brown hair and eyes.

"What are you two doing here?" Jesse asked, turning fully around in his seat and glaring at the two.

"Was I talking to you Jesse?" Christian asked.

"Do you need to?" Jesse asked, standing up.

Christian let out a laugh. "Like you could intimidate me." He stepped up to Jesse. He was taller than Jesse by about 2 inches, but Jesse didn't seem scared.

Jesse scoffed. "I'm not looking for trouble."

Robin snorted from behind him. "That's a first." She muttered and Christian smiled.

"She's right on that one."

"So? I'm really not." Jesse retorted. "Just back off."

Christian grabbed Jesse by the shirt. "Or what?"

"Or this." Matt stepped in and punched Christian in the jaw, sending him into Mark and to the ground.

"Oh shit." Jesse gaped at Matt. "Thanks."

"No problem."

"What is going on here?" The vice principal, Ms. Johnson, walked over, her blonde hair tied back in a tight twist and her blue eyes upset, but not angry. She looked older than she was.

"They were trying to attack us." Mark said quickly, leaving the rangers gaping.

"Excuse me, they were trying to attack us!" Robin retorted.

"I was trying to get them off of us." Matt defended.

"Matthew, Christian, Mark, office. Now." Ms. Johnson pushed them forward, with the other rangers watching with a sigh.

Suddenly, their morphers buzzed and the rangers became alert, watching Matt with wide eyes. Matt glanced back at them before he was brought into the office. The rangers stood and left stealthily.

~PRDS~

As Matt sat in the office, he couldn't help but think about the nagging vibration of his morpher in his pocket. He wondered if he could just get up and walk out and take the hit later.

Just then, Ace walked in and signed a paper before looking at Matt, who was sitting there in shock. "Ace? What are you doing here?" Matt asked.

Ace gestured for him to move, so they went outside. Everyone was in class, so they were alone. "Look, Ace, thanks for getting me out of there, but I have to go."

Ace nodded. "I know."

"And I'm... Wait, what?" Matt gaped at him. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, come on, I know the red ranger has to be smarter than that." Ace smirked, lightly punching him in the shoulder. "I'm here to allow your tyrannosaurus to be with you. Use it in a battle sometime, alright."

"Ace, how do you...?"

"Matt, I've known Kyro for longer than I can remember. It's a long story, and not for right now. Your friends need you."

Matt gave him a small smile. "Thanks, Ace."

He quickly left to the battle, morphing as soon as he was out of sight of the school.

~PRDS~

Robin let out a shriek as she was picked up by Peshango in his claw hand.

"Let her go!" Scott ordered, stabbing his sword out at the alien with all his power, however, his sword flattened and pushed him back slightly. He looked back at Jesse and Spencer, who were pulling themselves up on a tree after Peshango made made a building flatten, thus making debris fall on top of the two. They were close to demorphing and didn't have much strength left to fight the monster.

Scott threw his sword on the ground and pulled out his blaster, flipping back out of the way as Peshango tried to hit him with his left hand – which looked like a hard metal net rather than a hand – and shot at Peshango, making him drop Robin ungracefully onto the floor.

She groaned and took Scott's hand to help her up. "Thanks."

Scott nodded. "No problem."

She took out her sword. "Wanna tag-team him?"

Scott leaned over and picked up his sword. Robin frowned under her helmet. She put her sword away and got her blaster. "Let's go then!"

They ran forward, shooting out multiple blasts before they got to him, in which Robin quickly withdrew her sword and struck him. However her sword bounced off and landed next to Scott's with a large dent in it. Peshango swatted the blasters out of their hands and flattened them with one blast, then knocked them away with his left hand.

Jesse and Spencer staggered over to Peshango weakly and held out their blasters, which were flattened. Their swords quickly became the same way as they tried to attack the alien.

"You're pathetic!" Peshango laughed. He knocked them away as well, but they demorphed upon impact and hit the ground next to Robin and Scott hard.

"Guys!" Matt yelled as he arrived.

"Finally!" Scott laughed with relief.

"Matt, be careful." Robin called, gesturing to their blasters and swords.

"I have something else I can use." Matt smirked. "Tyranno Spirit!" Suddenly, a red ghostly form of a tyrannosaurus came out ran through the alien, making it explode upon impact.

"Oh my God." Robin breathed as she and Scott finally demorphed and stood.

Scott looked over at the two fallen rangers and hoisted them onto his shoulders.

"We should probably get back." He recommended.

~PRDS~

Later, in the infirmary, the rangers sat around as Jesse and Spencer rubbed their sore limbs.

"God," Jesse groaned. "That was the worst."

Kyro came back in and nodded. "I told you it would only get harder."

Scott look over at Matt with curiosity. "What was that thing you did earlier?"

"Matt has unlocked his spirit." Kyro answered instead.

"Spirit?"

"Your ranger powers were modeled after dinosaurs, and were input with the spirit of whatever dinosaur those specific powers possess. The rest of you will unlock them as you go."

"And we can just use them whenever we want?" Robin asked. "Never have to rely on us anymore?"

Kyro shook his head. "Not necessarily. You're only allowed to use your spirits at a desperate point in the battle."

Liela poked her head in the door. "Kyro?"

"Huh?"

"Ace is here to talk to you." As Kyro nodded and left the room, she looked over at Matt. "He said hi."

Matt smiled. "Tell him I said hi too."

Next time on Power Rangers Dino Squad: Some of Jesse's backstory as to what happened to his parents are revealed when he is threatened retention. Meanwhile, Spencer's older brother, Reese, is stabbed by an alien named Royaroya.
