Authors Notes:
Sickness in the blood
It had been over a week since RJ and Casey had been saved from Dai Shi's temple, Dai Shi must have taken the hint after his run in with Casey and Iger because he's backed off for now. Though most of the physical injures had been healed Casey's attitude had become a little more closed off toward the other especially RJ.
This had RJ more then a little worried but he knew that asking Casey outright would only make Casey become more guarded, so he did the only thing he could think of he sent Lilly instead. Casey was in the kitchens of JKP grating the cheese for the day's pizzas.
"Sometimes I just can't believe my life, shredding chesses one minutes, shredding evil beasts the next," laughed Casey hollowly as he sensed Lilly as she joined him.
"Hey this whole thing came out of nowhere for you Casey" said Lilly as she knew Casey was aware of why she was there.
"It's got to be Marjory intense, especially for a Cub?" said Lilly as she watched Casey's reaction.
"Well I'm not a Cub anymore so you don't have to worry about me" said Casey with a smile as Lilly signed but before she could speak up Fran yelled though an order.
"One Thriller Gorilla, extra banana" yelled Fran
"Thriller Gorilla, coming right up" yelled Casey as he looks at Lilly confusedly.
"Bananas?" asked Casey before he burst out laughing at Lilly's impression of his lover, suddenly Casey realised he hadn't seen his mate for sometime. Knowing that he was at least a small part responsible for the lack of the Wolf Masters presence, he decided to speak up.
"Were is RJ anyway?" asked Casey making Lilly smile.
"No clue he's been working in the garage for days, I don't want to pry but are things between you two ok?" asked Lilly as Casey sighed.
"He still feels reasonable for us getting captured," said Casey knowing that was only half the story.
"But you two are still together though?" asked Lilly as Casey nodded
"Good I'd hate to be there when you tell Penn you're not with his daddy anymore" said Lilly as Casey laughed
"Nope, no way not even I'm brave enough to do that. He maybe small but Penn can pack quite a kick when he wants," laughed Casey as Lilly looked at him.
"Experience?" asked Lilly
"Not me, my brother Carter got on the wrong side of him and got it in the shin" laughed Casey.
"you get the board I've got the dough" laughed Lilly as she picked up some dough and starts to make the pizza but Casey suddenly get's inspired by his son.
"Oops my bad" said Casey with a playful smile as he flicked flour all over Lilly's top.
"Oh no you didn't" laughed Lilly as she suddenly grabbed a handful of cheese and after stealing Casey's hat she put it on his head, before they knew it the kitchen was a full blown food fight.
Theo wasn't happy when he came to collect the Pizza but was interrupted when their morphers gave off their usual alert.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Hitting the city centre they were met by five new enemies like nothing they had faced before, first off there was five of them not one and secondly they fought together and with a might like no other. Casey felt it worse then the others as the main cobra like creature called Naja gunned for him, as he brought down it's blades over Casey's chest the pure red-hot pain he felt was so intense that it forced Casey out of his Ranger form.
As Casey's Morpher hit the ground he felt his own body following, putting his hand on the wound Casey felt the dampness as his already red uniform slowly became a darker crimson colour.
"Their too strong we need to regroup" said Lilly as she helped Casey to the feet as he gabbed his Morpher on the way.
Racing to the quarry on the outskirts of the town, far away from the crowds of the city.
"I liked it better when we were fighting them one at a time," groaned Casey as he was feeling the affects of the wound on his chest.
"I feel you there," said Theo as Casey suddenly hit the ground.
"Casey" yelled Lilly as she went to help Casey; suddenly she felt the wetness of Casey's shirt.
"Casey you're bleeding" panicked Lilly as she watched Casey try to get to his feet, suddenly out of nowhere they were attacked as they watched their new enemy and Jarrod joined them.
"Jarrod?" yelled Lilly as Dai Shi smiled evilly at them.
"Yeah it seems evil need company" said Casey with a growl as he got up, suddenly and out of character for Casey the other watched as he went in for the attack.
Matching Dai Shi blow for blow Casey made one major mistake that would cost him; he was fighting with pure anger instead of a clear head. Seeing his chance Dai Shi plunged his clawed hand into the open wound on Casey's chest, as Casey cried out in pain Dai Shi summoned Stingerella forcing the others to watch on as she plunged her poison into Casey's wound.
"Her poison is in your bloodstream it's not fatal but its pain will be punishing," laughed Dai Shi as they left Casey to his pain.
As soon as they were gone, Lilly and Theo raced over to Casey who was already feeling the affects of the poison in his blood, as Lilly comforted Casey Theo reached for his Morpher.
"RJ we need you, Casey's been hit badly with a nasty poison" said Theo before returning to Casey's side.
"RJ's on his way with the Jeep" said Theo as he watched Lilly as she opened Casey's uniform top.
Suddenly she hissed as she saw the full damage done by Dai Shi's new warriors, Casey's chest had been deeply cut from one side of his neck right down to his opposite hip. It was bleeding heavily and from how heavy Casey was breathing Lilly knew the poison, was spreading in Casey's system.
"Hang on Casey RJ's on his way" said Lilly as she tried to comfort Casey.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It had been three days since Stingerella had infected Casey with her poison, in that time Casey had shown no sign of getting better in fact he was getting worse. The wound on his chest was showing no sign of healing, not to mention Casey's fever was getting higher.
"RJ enough is enough," yelled Lilly as she stormed into the kitchen of JKP.
"Casey getting worse, he needs a doctor and now," yelled Lilly making RJ flinch.
"It's not like I can take any of you to the hospital, being Rangers means you suffer more injures then most people? People would ask questions," said RJ with a sigh as he followed Lilly up to the loft.
"If you don't do something Casey is going to die, the poison may not have been fatal but the with the wound on his chest it's getting worse" said Lilly with a growl making RJ sigh.
"I'll call his sister, she's going too pissed at me" sighed RJ again as he went down stairs to call Kaitlin from his office in JKP.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The next day for the first time, since JKP had been opened RJ had closed it, due to 'Staff Sickness'in reality RJ was too concerned with Casey's condition to work and Fran was starting to ask questions. So RJ was surprised when he heard a knock at the door of JKP, heading downstairs, followed by Lilly and Theo they were relived to see Kaitlin at the door but what came next surprised them.
As Kaitlin entered the shop she was followed by another, a tall slender male dressed in jeans and a red top. Before RJ could ask his name his fist collided with RJ's jaw, causing RJ to hit the ground hard as a stunned Lilly and Theo watched on. Suddenly out of nowhere, Howler leapt to RJ's rescue but before he could react Iger took him out.
"Heal mutt, this is between your master and I. so your the fucker that put Casey in danger?" growled the man as he stood over RJ with pure anger in his eyes.
"Oh shit," said Lilly as everyone including RJ and the man looked her way.
"Lilly?" asked Theo
"You must be Carter Grayson?" asked Lilly as the man nodded.
"How do you know who he is and why?" asked Theo confusedly
"Captain Carter Grayson MBFD, a decorated hero and part-time superhero" said Lilly as RJ looked confused
"Let me introduce myself Carter Grayson Lightspeed Red Ranger, but more importantly I'm also Casey's older brother and legal guardian," growled Carter as RJ swallowed hard.
"So wanna show me were my brother is?" growled Carter as Lilly nodded and showed them up to the loft, Carter was too pissed off to notice what was around them until he entered RJ room and saw Casey laid in his bed.
Casey was pale and sickly, his pillow was soaked with sweat then he noticed the blood soaked sheets. Pulling open the bandages Carter hissed at the state of the wound on Casey's chest. Turing to Lilly who so far in his mind had been the most trustworthy he spoke.
"What happed?" asked Carter as he held his temper down.
"Dai Shi, the big bad we're fighting just pulled out five of his nastiest creations to deal with us. They call themselves the Five Fingers of Poison; we where out manned and over powered when the leader separated Casey from us. He used his blade on Casey so hard he dimorphed, it wasn't until we retreated to regroup that we saw Casey injuries.
But they didn't give us time to help him, we were attacked and then found out that an ex student of our academy called Jarrod is now the host to Dai Shi…." said Lilly as suddenly Carter growled.
"Jarrod as in Jarrod Zen?" growled Carter as Lilly nodded causing Carter to explode.
"That back stabbing son of a bitch, I should have put him down four years ago…." roared Carter as Kaitlin came in.
"Car?" asked Kaitlin
"It's him the bad guy is that son of a bitch that sired Penn" growled Carter as Kaitlin joined him as Lilly and Theo looked confused.
"Four years ago Jarrod came into Casey's life and ruined it; he beat my brother so badly he was on a ventilator for a week. He left Penn with learning difficulty and I almost lost my job when I beat him down. So believe me when I say our histories are not nice ones" said Carter as he calmed down and sat at Casey's side.
"Right first thing Lin go with them and get me an idea of what's going on? Me I've got a call to make" said Carter as Kaitlin nodded and followed the others.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Carter finished his call and closed his cell as he sat in JKP's dinning room, RJ watched from the kitchen doorway with a sign before walking over to Carter with a cold drink in hand.
"A pease offering unless you're going to hit me again?" asked RJ as Carter looked up to see the bruise forming on RJ's jaw.
"Sorry about that" said Carter as he took the offering.
"I can understand why you did it, I'm just glad it was me and not Lilly or Theo" said RJ as Cater looked ashamed.
"I knew things were bad between Jarrod and Casey but I never knew it was that bad," signed RJ as he took a swig of his drink.
"It was worse but that's Casey's memories to forget, but I'm telling you this now you ever hurt Case and not even your spirt will find your rotting corpse. I failed Casey once but never again," said Carter with a sigh.
"Not in Casey's mind both he and Penn go on about you all the time" said RJ with a smiled as they fell into a comfortable silence until Lilly joined them.
"Casey's awake and asking after you both" said Lilly as both men rushed upstairs.
Casey was barely conscious as Carter walked into RJ's room, sitting at Casey's side Carter watched.
"Hey Kid" said Carter as he wiped the sweat from Casey's brow.
"Hey" coughed Casey as he tried to sit up but Carter stopped him.
"Don't do that Case," said Carter as Casey coughed again causing Lilly to rush to Casey's side.
"Thanks" said Casey weakly as Lilly smiled at him
"You sure?" asked Lilly as Carter watched the other's as they dealt with Casey.
"He said he's fine leave the guy alone," said Theo as RJ joined them.
"It's freaky that Jarrod turned out to be Dai Shi?" said RJ as he came and sat down at Casey other side.
"Standing up to him sure took a lot of guts," said RJ with a smile until Theo spoke up.
"Or not a lot of brain cells" shot Theo as Carter was about to speak up as RJ got their first.
"Theo I'm ignoring your negative energy" growled RJ as he shot Theo a dirty look.
"Casey I'm working on something that you're going to love, you just power it up with your tiger spirt and it will blow your mind," said a happy RJ.
"Is it dangerous?" asked Lilly with true concern in her voice.
"Casey already has one Mommy he doesn't need two" commented Theo making Carter jump up as Casey looked upset.
"OUT" yelled Cater surprising them all.
"You should think before you open your mouth kid," growled Carter as he pushed passed them to door.
"And for the record Theo, we don't have a mom she's dead" growled Carter as they heard the door to JKP slam.
"I think we should do as he ask, lets give Casey his space and let him rest" said RJ as they left and headed to their rooms.
RJ on the other hand headed down to JKP were he found Carter stood against the kitchen door smoking, walking into the kitchen he put two glasses on the surface and poured out two whiskey's and put one of the glasses in front of Carter.
"Pai Zhuq best 10,000 year matured. To memories we'd all like to forget" said RJ as he raised his glass followed by Carter.
"Can you adapt the bike to my element?" asked Carter unexpectedly
"What?" asked RJ as he watched Carter
"The bike you built, can you adapt it to my element so I can use it?" asked Carter as RJ watched him relieving Carter was being serous.
"Depends on the element," said RJ as Carter held out his hand and RJ chuckled as a flame danced in his hand.
"I'm sure I've seen that before?" laughed RJ as Carter blew the flame out.
"Lin and I are twins so we share an element; it comes in handy when your dealing with fire 24/7" said Carter with a sigh.
"Get some sleep Carter your going to need it, I'll see what I can do in the morning" said RJ as he headed back up to his room as Carter sighed.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The next morning Carter was up before even RJ, as he hadn't slept the night before, heading to the coffee pot he went to sit on RJ's chair having spoken with RJ about it then night before. As he sat thinking, he wasn't surprised as Kaitlin sat beside him.
"Morning Car, couldn't sleep?" asked Lin with a smile
"Nope, you?" asked Carter as Kaitlin shook her head, suddenly the screens came to life as Carter and Kaitlin watched them.
//Red Ranger lets finish what we started, I can take you out single handily//
"He asked for a Red Ranger he just didn't say which one," growled Carter as he took off making Lin sigh.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So you must be one of the freaks that hurt my brother," growled Carter as he approached the Rinshi un-morphered
"Who are you? Your not who I asked for" growled the Rinshi
"You asked for a Red Ranger you just didn't say which one. Lightspeed Rescue" yelled Carter as once again he found himself engulfed by the bight red second skin he knew all to well.
"Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger at your service" said Carter as he took his stance.
"I suppose your right, any ranger will do" said the Rinshi as he went from Rinshi to monster in front of him.
"I am Rantipede and you will be history," growled Rantipede as he attacked.
Despite being out of practice, Carter matched Rantipede blow for blow, even if he was the faster of them both. The sand wasn't helping Carter's balance but this was for his brother's pride and honour, suddenly Carter was thrown to the floor and without think Carter called out,
"Rescue Blaster baton mode" with that Carters Baton appeared and helped him to get back on his feet, but still Cater was tiring, as Rantipede seemed to get stronger.
Suddenly out of nowhere, five shots hit Rantipede Square in the chest forcing him backwards; Carter looked around to see a familiar ranger form he hadn't seen in years.
"Hey what's the deal going off on your own Car?" growled Lin as she whacked him on the head.
"She's got a point Carter, we need to talk later" growled Ryan though his visor.
"Ok monster now yelling later, nice to see you too Ry" said Carter as he smiled at Theo and Lilly.
"Think you can work with us?" asked Carter as they nodded.
"Lin if you will" asked Carter as Lin laughed and took her stance
"WE ARE VR" yelled Kaitlin as she went from Kaitlin to VR Trooper quickly.
"Don't ask," said Ryan as Kaitlin joined them, suddenly they where joined by more Rinshi then they liked.
//Carter I made the changes last night, it's all your//
"RJ sometimes your worth more then gold" said Carter as he answered RJ radio signal.
"With the fury of fire Strikerider cruse" called Carter as he suddenly found himself covered by Casey's new toy.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Casey was stunned into silence as watched Carter take his place in the team, Ryan's intervention and his sisters big secret come to light. Suddenly Casey needs to talk to his sister as he curled up tighter on RJ's lap.
"Casey Christian Rhode, what the hell are you doing out of bed with your injures?" came a voice Casey knew well as he cringed.
"Watching my brother and Ryan make more injures for you to heal?" asked Casey as Danna Mitchell came into view.
"Casey?" asked a confused RJ.
"RJ meets my sister in law Danna she's my doctor oh and she's the pink Lightspeed rescue ranger," said Casey as he tried to hide in RJ's chest.
"You and your brother are two of the most stubborn men I have ever met now bed." yelled Danna as Casey ran back to his room, speaking to Iger on the way.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"You may not have been the one I wanted but destroying you will get me what I want anyway," growled Carter as he delivered the final blow to Rantipede as they regrouped.
"Nice work" said Lilly as she hugged Carter
"Now you will see what you're dealing with," yelled Rantipede as he pulled off the sack on his head and reviled the hideous appearance below.
"Your fear makes me stronger," hissed Rantipede as he grew in size.
"Nice to know something's don't change, looks like I'm sitting this one out" said Carter as the other called their Zords, Kaitlin called the VR Battle cruiser and some how Ryan called the Max Solar Zord leaving Carter alone.
'Not really Firefly'
Came a voice from nowhere as Iger came to a stop before Carter with a smiled.
'My Cub sent me to you'
"Then I guess your going my way then?" laughed Carter as he felt something inside change as suddenly he wasn't on the ground but in the cockpit of the Jungle pride Megazord.
"Cool we had to sit down in our Megazord" said Carter with a smile.
"What now?" asked Lilly
"This is your show I'm just here for support," said Carter as he stepped back and let Lilly take the lead on this.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Casey was sat up in bed when they arrived back after the fight, Lilly went to see Casey laughing as he was being fussed over by Danna.
"Hey Lill"
"Hey Case, having fun?" asked Lilly as Casey huffed
"Lilly meet Danna my sister in law" said Casey as Danna and Lilly shook hands.
"Now the poison is leaving your system you should feel better, don't over do it now I have a brother and brother in law to deal with" laughed Danna as she left Lilly and Casey alone.
"I want to thank you for standing up for me against Theo, Carter hasn't killed him yet?" asked Casey as Lilly shook her head.
"He will wait for it," laughed Casey.
"So should I ask when you two are getting married?" asked Ryan as he and Carter came into the room.
"What no way, Casey's like a little brother to me that's why I worry so much," said Lilly as Carter and Casey smiled.
"That's cool but you do realise we're going to have to treat you like we do our sisters" said Casey as bother him and Carter smiled making Lilly dread saying that.
