"FRAN!" Casey yelled as he struggled to break free from the group of Rinshi who were keeping him from saving Fran. With anger coursing through his veins, the Red Ranger roared, letting out his tiger spirit which destroyed the Rinshi.
"Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed!"
Finally, Casey morphed into his Red Ranger form. He wasted no time admiring his new suit and quickly punched a Rinshi in the face as he made his way to Fran.
"With the strength of a tiger! Jungle Fury Red Ranger!"
Mantis tossed a screaming Fran into the air. Casey, in his new Ranger suit, jumped up and caught her before she could hit the ground.
"Get out of the way," Casey told the young woman, "I'll take care of him."
Fran didn't need to be told twice. She smiled at her hero before running off.
Casey turned to the oversized bug and frowned. He ran to the monster and gave him a powerful punch, sending it flying backwards, through a wall.
"Call to the beast inside! Free the Tiger!"
The tiger ran forward and grabbed Mantis in its mouth, then tossed it aside. Mantis landed roughly before trying to stand. Just as he succeeded, he exploded.
"Did you guys see that?" Casey yelled excitedly as the three others joined him.
"Don't get your hopes up... something always happens!" Kaylee frowned, patting the red Ranger on the shoulder as she sighed deeply. She pointed to the spot where Mantis died. His body then appeared and started growing.
"How did he do that?" Lily asked.
"I dunno, but he's not getting away!" Kaylee yelled. She summoned her snow leopard spirit and turned it into her own Zord. "Finally I get one at the start of this deal! And it's all mine!" she laughed.
Knowing there was nothing more they could do to help, seeing as they didn't know how to grow to Mantis' size, the other three Rangers tried to run. Mantis wasn't about to let that happen one of his scythes claws dug into the ground inches away from the Rangers.
"HEY!" Kaylee yelled from her Zord as she grabbed Mantis, "No touchy my other halves!"
The Green Ranger was about to use her Zord to eat the Mantis, like Casey's Tiger had done minutes ago, when Dai Shi appeared. The villain turned to the Green Ranger and smirked.
"No..." Kaylee whispered, staggering backwards as she got a look at Dai Shi's human face. Mantis took this to his advantage and punched the Zord, knocking Kaylee out of it and to the ground. Kaylee stood up, unmorphed, and looked into the eyes of her newest enemy. "Dustin... it can't be..."
"Dustin no longer exists," Dai Shi's voice rang, though Kaylee was sure it was Dustin's body, "I am Dai Shi!"
"Like the new Dai Shi, Green Ranger?" Camille smiled, walking up next to Dustin and putting one hand on his shoulder, and the other on his chest. She put her head on his shoulder and smiled menacingly at Kaylee.
"What did you do to him?" Kaylee yelled as she tried to hold back the tears.
"Who is he?" Casey asked Lily. He recognized Dustin from the Forbidden room back at the Pai Zhuq, but he had only seen the Earth Sensei for a few seconds before he ran out after Jarrod and Dai Shi's spirit. Lily shook her head and turned back to the scene.
"I needed a body, and he was right there," Dai Shi smirked, "it was either him, or that Jarrod cub. You little lover boy Dustin here had more power!"
He then looked up as Mantis' foot was about to squish the Rangers. Kaylee jumped out of the way as a loud ZWOP echoed through the air, leaving the others alone.
When he noticed that he missed, Mantis brought his other foot down. The three remaining Ranger braced themselves for the pain, but never felt it. They looked up and saw a giant cat-like spirit grab the Mantis and through it into a far off lake.
"Whoa!" the three smiled. They then turned to where Camille and Dustin had been standing, but no one was there.
"It is not safe here," Master Mao, or his spirit form, said as he appeared next to the Rangers. A bright cloud surrounded the four of them, and the Rangers found themselves on top of a building.
"Master Mao?" Casey frowned after recovering from the teleporting, "But I thought you were gone forever!"
"The spirit of a Pai Zhuq can never be destroyed. My body no longer rests on this earth," Master Mao explained, "but I will be watching over you."
"Okay..." Casey sighed. "That answers my first question. Now can you explain how Mantis grew to the size of Dodgers stadium?"
"It's an advance level of battle technique," Master Mao said. "You're enemies have mastered it... now, you must fight them on that level."
"We would be happy to... except for one little thing," Lily frowned. "You never taught us how!"
"You have a new Master," Master Mao started to fade away slowly as he looked over at the three cubs. "He must teach you. Now there is someone else I must discuss things with."
-----Jungle-Fury-----
"I know you're hurt," Master Mao said softly as he appeared beside Kaylee, who was sitting on the training mat in the loft. "But you shouldn't have left your friends alone."
"Master Mao?" Kaylee asked in shock, looking up at the master. "But I thought you were..."
"My spirit now rests in the spirit world," Master Mao smiled. "From there, I will always watch over you."
"Master Mao, I understand why it was wrong to leave... they needed me. But that was Dustin and..."
"I know the story Kaylee," Master Mao smiled. He put a comforting hand on the blonde's shoulder.
"I don't want to lose Dustin like I did my parents," Kaylee cried. Suddenly, she jumped up as a thought came to mind. "You said you were in the spirit world!"
"I did."
"And the Wind Ninja Academy and the Pai Zhuq are closely related," Kaylee smiled. "And the students, just like the Masters, go to the spirit world when they die."
"Yes..."
Kaylee's face suddenly dropped and the words were harder to say.,"Are my parents... y'know... resting there... with you?"
Master's Mao face softened as he looked down at the small girl. Since the start of her career as a Power Ranger she had been through so much: nearly losing her life several times as a Wind Ranger, time travel and loss of control with her powers as a Dino Ranger, the battle against Lothor as a Mystic Ranger and saving the world from several villains with Operation Overdrive. The last thing he wanted to do was give her some bad news.
"I have not seen them in the spirit world Kaylee," Master Mao sighed. "But I'm sure, wherever they are, they're watching over you as well."
Master Mao disappeared as the door to the loft opened and the other Rangers walked in. At the same time, RJ walked into the room and was instantly attacked by questions. As he tried to answer them, Kaylee answered her cell phone which had started ringing.
"Kaylee Hanson!" she said, hoping she didn't sound like she had just been crying.
"Where the hell are you?"
"Kira! HI!" Kaylee laughed. She knew that voice and that attitude anywhere.
"Kay, you're over half an hour late!"
"Yeah... I forgot to tell you, didn't I?" Kaylee frowned, looking up at the clock hanging over the stove in the kitchen.
"Duh."
"Look Kira, the wedding's postponed... well, mine and Dustin's at least."
Upon hearing the word "wedding" the others in the room all shut up and turned to Kaylee, eavesdropping.
"Why's that?"
"Because... that mission Dustin and I went on last night... turned into a Ranger thing, but Dustin's not a Ranger," Kaylee explained.
"And that's holding off the wedding because..?"
"Dustin's the villain..."
-----Jungle-Fury-----
Kira dropped the phone and turned to Tori who was adjusting her sister's wedding dress. Tori turned to the yellow Ranger and frowned. Kira just shrugged and put the phone on speaker.
"Dustin's the what now?" she asked.
"Tor..." Kaylee said, knowing from the little bit of static that she had been put on the speaker. "You know the Dai Shi?"
"Yeah?" Tori frowned.
"He's back... and Dustin went after him and Jarrod when he escaped, while I took care of the Master... and Dai Shi's now controlling Dustin's body."
"He can do that?" Tori asked.
"Apparently... unless that was someone else who looked exactly like the man I was supposed to marry."
There was a sigh on the other end and Kaylee spoke up again.
"Kira, I know this was supposed to be a double wedding, but it's kinda impossible for Dustin and I to get married. If you and Conner wanna..."
"No Kayl," Kira smiled. "We'll wait. After all, I don't think I could enjoy this day knowing Dustin's the new Mesogog."
"Thanks..."
"Hey Kayl," Tori smiled. "Be careful out there."
"I will Tor."
-----Jungle-Fury-----
Kaylee hung up the phone and turned to the others, who quickly pretended they weren't listening to every word during the phone conversation.
"... you're not ready for the growing-ginormous technique. Sorry Rangers, but no way!" RJ said. Kaylee shook her head and laughed.
"I know you guys heard everything," she said. Lily walked up to her and smiled.
"So you were supposed to get married today?" she asked, "To the guy from the forbidden room?"
"Dustin... I'm known him for years now," Kaylee smiled. "He proposed to me during my time as the Green Overdrive Ranger. I'll never forget that day."
Kaylee went off into her own little flashback as a light bulb in Theo's head went off.
"You were the Green Overdrive Ranger?" he asked in shock, breaking Kaylee from her flashback.
"I was all the recent Green Rangers you had a crush on," Kaylee laughed, making Theo blush.
"Why don't you start from the beginning?" RJ asked, sitting in his chair and grabbing a bowl of popcorn.
"I was training to be a Samurai when I was sixteen. I was accepted into the Wind Ninja Academy along with my sister, who trained under the water element. We were there for a year before it was attacked by a man named Lothor. My sister, Tori, who was on the phone with Kira, Dustin, or rather, Dai Shi and a third friend, Shane, were chosen to be Power Rangers after the attack."
"What about you?" Casey asked.
"I wasn't one of the first," Kaylee sighed. "The three wore the same colors you do now. For a few missions they fought as I watched. Then, one day, the Thunder Rangers walked into the picture. They started off evil and kidnapped me to use my secret powers."
"What powers?" Lily asked.
"I can resurrect things, but I have to give them my life," Kaylee explained. "Anyways, they kidnapped me and tried to use my power to bring their parents back. My sister and friends tried to get me back but it was a little too late. The only thing I remember is blacking out then waking up with my Green Wind Ranger morpher. Then, after we convinced the Thunders to join us, our computer consultant thingy person, Cam, wanted to become a Ranger. After a hard journey, he finally found the power and became the Green Samurai Ranger. Together, the seven of us fought evil and finally destroyed it. In the process I started going out with Dustin. When the whole thing was over, the others graduated but I gave up being a ninja to live a normal life."
"If you gave up, why were you here in your Ninja Uniform?" Casey asked. Kaylee shushed him and continued.
"Tori, Shane and Dustin became Sensei's of their own elements and Cam became headmaster. Blake also quit Ninja Training to ride for Factory Blue. Hunter became Headmaster of the Thunder Academy with Leanne. Tori and I were finally living in our house in Reefside, just outside Blue Bay. She would drive back to the Academy everyday and I would finish High School in Reefside. I thought my life would go back to normal, until I got detention."
"You a goody two shoes?" RJ asked.
"Kira, Conner, Ethan and I found these rock things and it gave us special powers. Now I could teleport. You should know about that. It's the ZWOP noise I make! Anyways, the four of us then became the Dino Rangers and fought evil. They had no idea I was a Ranger before and I didn't want them to know, especially after their reaction to Dr. O being a Ranger. I tried to keep my secret but it slipped out to Kira when we watched Ranger history on Dr. O's computer. She swore not to tell anyone else, who didn't already know. Then, Dr. O joined our team."
"Dr.O?" Theo asked.
"Tommy Oliver," Kaylee smiled and all their jaws dropped.
"He's a Ranger legend! You're so lucky!" Theo smiled, earning laughs from Lily and Casey at his little geek comment.
"Moving on, we once again had evil Ranger problems with Trent. He was controlled by the White Dino gem. After much convincing, and the crush Kira refuses to admit to, he overcame the power and joined us. My secret was still safe until Tori, Shane and Dustin were turned evil by Lothor, who came back. They attacked the city and we had to stop them. My secret had to be spilled then, so I let it. After helping the others overcome the curse, we fought together to defeat the monster and Lothor was defeated. We kept fighting, just the Dino Rangers, until Mesogog was defeated. I thought my Ranger duties were over but... what's so funny?" Kaylee asked as Theo, Casey and RJ tried to hold back a laugh.
"She said duty!" Casey smiled. Kaylee rolled her eyes and Lily laughed.
"Can I continue?" she asked. The boys nodded, their silly moment over with. "Good. I thought my duty was over with after I graduated from school. I wanted to restart my training at the Academy now that I had new powers so I trained in the water element with my sister as my teacher. But two years later I was called to help Operation Overdrive fight against so many monsters to protect the Corona Aurora. We fought as six until this alien type lizard proved to us he was good. We realised he was actually a man from another planet and turned him back to human form. After much convincing he joined our team. With all seven members we destroyed the evil. I went back to the Academy for a few months to continue my training."
"Then?" Casey asked.
"Then Cam, our new Sensei, assigned me on this mission. It sorta clashed with my wedding day, but I thought I could work around it. Obviously I was wrong."
"Master Mao also mentioned another team when he spoke about you," RJ frowned, tapping the side of his head, "It was Mystic something..."
"Mystic Force," Kaylee sighed, "It didn't last long. We fought Lothor once more, then handed our Powers down to the second generation of Mystics."
Kaylee turned away from the others as she thought about Mystic Force and what it felt like to fight alongside Dustin. Now, she was going to have to do the opposite. She was going to have to fight against Dustin, and possible go as far as killing him to keep the world safe.
Lily saw her friend's pain and walked up to her, giving her a hug. She ignored the flashes in her mind, showing her what had happened in the Forbidden Room.
"We'll make sure Dustin comes home safe and sound," Lily smiled softly; "I'll make Ronny bet in it."
-----Jungle-Fury-----
After a few hours, the Rangers returned to the loft. Casey walked up to RJ with a bit of an aggravated look on his face.
"Come on, RJ! We don't have a chance against Dai Shi if we don't learn the growing technique!" Casey begged his new master.
"Once you all Master your assigned weapon, then we'll talk," RJ smiled.
"Assigned weapons?" Casey asked. This was the first anyone had heard of mastering weapons.
RJ walked to a cupboard and took out two tonfas. He walked over to Theo and handed them to him.
"Tonfa?" Theo smiled cockily, "No sweat! I learned these bad boys my second year!"
As Theo showed off his skills with the Tonfa, RJ handed Lily a Bo.
"Sweet!" Lily smiled. "I'm a pro with a Bo!"
Like Theo, she also started showing off as RJ walked back to the cupboard and pulled out a nunchuku.
"For Casey... the ancient, and if I may say, highly dangerous... nunchuku!" RJ smiled.
"No problem!" Casey said as he tried to show off as well, only to hit himself in the arm. As he gripped his arm in pain he looked up at Lily, "Okay... I admit it, I've never used these before."
"Those are only supposed to be used by trained kung fu students," Lily frowned, and Casey quickly nodded. She tried to help Casey at least get a feel for the weapon while RJ pulled out his last weapon.
"And, for Kaylee, the Sai."
"Sweet!" Kaylee smiled. RJ put the weapon in her hand and the girl frowned. "What the hell? Are these used to eat huge salad leaves?"
"Camille uses these when she fights, and I believe in fighting fire with fire," RJ smiled.
"Well, it can't be that hard!" Kaylee smiled as she suddenly began showing off with a weapon she never used before. RJ, Theo, Casey and Lily stared at her, "I'm a quick learner. It comes from years of suddenly knowing how the hell you use the new Ranger suits, weapons and Zords."
"Obviously," RJ laughed.
Casey tried once again to use his nunchuku, but failed. RJ turned to him and the others and sighed.
"I'm sorry, but until you're all up to speed, you can't get to the next level."
Theo groaned as he walked over to a stool and sat down, "Just because Casey's a cub doesn't mean we should be held back in our training! Kaylee's already gotten to the next level! It's not fair!"
"Hello! I'm standing right here!" Casey frowned, waving his hand in front of Theo's face.
"I don't mean to sound harsh, but that's just the way it is!"
"Theo, a team is a lot like... a stool!" RJ smiled, inching closer to the stool as an idea came to mind. "You four are the legs, all equal. So what happens if all parts aren't equal?"
Theo scoffed impatiently, not really wanting to know what RJ had in mind.
"Smoosh!" Kaylee smiled, hitting her hands together as RJ kicked away one of the legs on the chair, causing Theo to fall on the ground.
"The team falls on its butt. If the team's not ready, then none of you are ready."
With that, the master left the four Rangers to think.
"It's like on my last team," Kaylee smiled. "There was one of us, Will, who worked better alone. Well, he, Ronny and I went to Atlantis..."
"Atlantis?" Casey asked, only to be shushed by Kaylee.
"Yes. Now, he and Ronny were both new to the whole Ranger thing, and they were all equal. But Will refused to work with us. That led to him setting off a booby trap which caused us to nearly be squashed by giant hands and drowned by water. Then he nearly knocked Ronny into a boiling hot pit of lava."
"Ronny was pushed into a pit of lava?" Lily asked.
"Your point to this is?" Theo looked up at Kaylee impatiently after glaring at Casey. It wasn't that he disliked the new cub, it was more... he disliked the new cub. Casey had only been at the Pai Zhuq for a week before he was chosen for a task Theo had worked years for.
"If he worked as a team, with us, and not alone, none of that would have happened," Kaylee smiled. "After all, there is no 'I' in team... but if you re-arrange the letters you do get 'me at' which has me... but that's not the point!"
-----Jungle-Fury-----
After lecturing his cubs, RJ had gone down to the parlour to see how everything was doing. He saw Fran sitting at her usual spot in the restaurant and walked up to her.
"Fran, you're here every day," He frowned. "I've got to asked... don't you have a crew? You know... friends you like to hang out with?"
Fran thought for a minute before looking up from the book she was reading, "Umm... books are my friends, so I guess you could say I have a big crew!"
The bookworm pointed to all of the books surrounding her and smiled.
RJ laughed, "Okay... but what about family?"
"I have no brothers or sisters... and my parents are always kinda busy."
In the kitchen, Casey and the others had just gotten down to work. Casey walked up to one of the waiting pizza dough and starting tossing it in the air like he had been working at JKP his whole life.
Theo turned to Lily and Kaylee, frowning, "Check out Casey... When it comes to tossing pizza, the guy's a genius. But he's all thumbs when it comes to handling his own weapon"
"Well, the nunchuku's are a difficult weapon to master," Kaylee pointed out.
"Yeah, and remember when you started out, T?" Lily frowned. "You didn't always have mad skills."
"Okay, but I practiced hard and got better," Theo smiled, remembering the good times.
"True. But before you could practice, someone had to teach you."
"I learned from the best," Theo smiled as memories of Master Mao passed through his head.
"Too bad Casey didn't have someone amazing like that to teach him," Lily smirked.
Theo turned and looked up at Lily, "Do you ever get tired of being right?"
Suddenly a bell rang. All the Rangers turned to RJ and frowned.
"Everyone to their stations!" RJ smiled. "The twelve thirty-two lunch rush is about to..."
Before RJ could finished, a mob of people walked into JKP, ready to place their order for food. Kaylee's mouth dropped. Cyberspace was never this busy!
Theo pushed through the people and grabbed Casey's arm, "Sorry boss, Casey and I have some training to do!"
"Wait... who's going to help me serve all these people?" RJ asked as Kaylee and Lily took their spots in the kitchen.
Fran jumped up from her seat and raised her hand in the air. She already knew everything on the JKP menu, and she occasionally helped RJ out when he was working alone.
"ME!"
RJ grabbed and apron and tossed it to the young woman.,"You're hired!"
Fran put the apron on and walked up to the first customers in line, "Welcome to JKP... table for two? Right this way!"
-----Jungle-Fury-----
"Oh great!" Lily sighed as she and Kaylee walked into the loft after the lunch rush. RJ was right behind them, smiling because of the success of the rush. Lily saw her master was distracted from the beeping TVs so she pointed, "RJ!"
"Oh boy..." RJ frowned. From the screens, he could see that the damn had been destroyed, and water was rushing into Ocean Bluff.
"Well, this is the first town I live in that lives up to its name..." Kaylee smiled, "I think I can stop this! RJ, you call the boys!"
"Already on it dudette!" RJ called as the girls ran out.
-----Jungle-Fury-----
"Where have you been?" Lily frowned when the boys finally showed up.
"Casey mastered his weapon," Theo smiled, patting the tiger on the back. He then noticed that Kaylee was nowhere in sight, even though RJ told them that the two girls were going to be together. "Where's Kaylee?"
Lily pointed down to the street, seeing as she and the boys were standing on a building. Theo and Casey looked over and saw Kaylee was using her water powers to hold off the masse of water threatening to drown Ocean Bluff, "Oh..." Casey breathed.
"The city's been evacuated," Lily explained. "She's just trying to push the water back."
"Let's go help her... somehow..." Casey said. The Rangers got ready to jump down, when Camille appeared in front of them.
"Not this times Rangers," she smirked.
The Rangers morphed and, using their new weapons, they started fighting off the group of Rinshi. Camille saw the oversized Mantis walking around the city. She smirked and disappeared.
Back on the ground, Kaylee was using everything she could to stop the water, but it was so heavy, and she was so small, that the job was too hard.
She was about to give her powers the biggest boost she could gather until a familiar face caught her eye.
"Dustin?"
Dustin, walked up to Kaylee, smiling. He turned to the giant wall of water and frowned. He lifts his hand up, as if he was going to help her. Kaylee smiled back at her fiancé before he slashed her across the chest.
The small girl stumbled back as her concentration on the water wall broke. Dustin disappeared as the blonde was engulfed in water.
Kaylee tried swimming up, so she could reach the shore before her powers failed her and she needed actual oxygen to breath, but there was one problem. She had no idea which way was up.
Suddenly, she felt herself being pulled up… or what she figured was up. When she broke through the surface of the water, she saw her hero was Tori.
"The hell is my pregnant sister doing here?" she frowned, playfully splashing the water sensei.
Tori rolled her eyes as she swam to the top of a building, which was now only inches above the surface of the water. She climbed out, and reached for a hand to help her up. To Kaylee's surprise, Kira reached out and helped Tori out of the water.
"Whoa…" Kaylee smiled, before being pulled up by her old friend.
Theo, Casey and Lily joined the three, but Lily stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Kira; the Kira Ford.
"This is a really good day!" she smiled, before running to Kaylee to make sure the green Ranger was okay.
"What happened back there?" Theo asked.
"Dustin distracted me… sorry guys," Kaylee smiled softly.
"Who are they?" Casey asked, pointing to Tori and Kira. Kaylee smiled as she stood up, and wrapped her arms around her sister's and friend's shoulders.
"Meet my sister, Tori Hanson, Blue Wind Ranger, Kira Ford, Yellow Dino Ranger, and my little niece or nephew, future Green Ranger!" Kaylee smiled as she, very gently, tapped her hand on Tori's small stomach.
Tori put her hand on her stomach as she looked over to Kira. The Rockstar shook her head and mouthed something to the blonde. Tori made it out as: "I'll tell her later."
"Future green…"
"Her too?" Lily asked, interrupting Theo and pointing to Kira. Kaylee nodded and smiled.
"Your predecessor," Kaylee added, leaving Lily in a state of shock.
"I remember you!" Kira smiled. "You were at Sammy's concert!"
Lily nodded, but everyone could see she was still in shock.
"SO COOL! Kira remembers me!" Lily exclaimed, bouncing on the balls of her feet. Kira could only laugh and nod at the current Yellow Ranger's excitement.
"Hey guys, can we have this little fan-girl later?" Casey asked as Mantor swung an arm down. The other Rangers ducked out of the way, while Casey jumped up to attack. Mantor's arm connected with Casey, knocking him back onto the roof.
"Casey!" Lily yelled as the Rangers ran up to him.
"You okay?" Theo asked.
"We can't beat him from down here," Casey groaned, slamming his fist down on the roof.
"I guess I'm in this alone again," Kaylee said. She closed her eyes before a figured jumped down and tackled her to the ground.
"Camille?" Kaylee asked, suddenly fueled with rage. She remembered seeing this emo-barbie flirting with her would-be husband.
"Guys," Kira called, pulling the Rangers back when they tried to go help Kaylee. "You have to form the Megazord."
"We don't know how!" Theo sighed.
"Of course you do," Kira smirked, "You're a Power Ranger! You're supposed to instantly know how everything works!"
"You don't know you know," Tori explained, only confusing the group.
Kaylee had been thrown back into the group by Camille, before the villainess disappeared, "Guys, the stool is in balance now!"
"I think I get it," Lily smirked. Tori rolled her eyes. They didn't understand her, but they understood Kaylee's stool-speak. "Theo, you're the brains of the team!"
"And Lils, you're the heart!" Theo grinned.
"And Casey brings the strength!" Kaylee nodded.
"And Kaylee has the knowledge and experience!" Casey smiled.
"Excellent!" RJ called over the communicator. "You're ready for the next level! Now combine your animal spirits and see what happens!"
"We can combine them?" Lily frowned.
"How else as we supposed to make the Megazord?" Kaylee beamed, "Just do what I do."
"AMINAL SPIIRITS, UNITE AS ONE! POWER RANGERS JUNGLE FURY!"
The Jungle Pride Megazord, with Jaguar and Cheetah Legs, Leopard arms and Tiger body and head, landed in the streets, with the water coming up to its knees. The Rangers exchanged glances, before bringing their legs up in a kick, making the Megazord do the same. Mantor was slammed in the chest, recoiling in pain. The Megazord slammed his elbow into the monster before delivering a spinning kick.
The Megazord pulled out a three way nunchuku and swung it around menacingly.
"Jungle Setsukon!"
Casey took control as he swung the nunchukus around, hitting Mantor over and over again repeatedly.
"Savage spin!" the Rangers yelled, as the Megazord's arms began to spin. Moving forward in the attack, the Rangers slammed into Mantor. The monster screamed as he sparked. He fell backwards, exploding long before he hit the ground.
-----Jungle-Fury-----
Fran walked sweeping the floor in a sort of panic as she got the shop ready for the 5:27 lunch rush. Casey and Theo were in the kitchen, tossing pizza dough into the air.
"You gotta twist, then toss," Casey explained, doing a little demonstration, before Theo tried. The blue Ranger tried his hand at it, but the pizza landed on his face and slid off onto the counter.
"This is harder than it looks," he sighed.
Back out in the dining room, Lily was watching her two friends before she turned to RJ, "I'm glad those guys got it together," she smiled, "But you know, Camille and her army aren't going to let up."
"Well, it's not her I'm worried about," RJ sighed, turning his gaze over to Kaylee, who was sitting in a booth, talking with her two sisters about Dai Shi possessing Dustin.
Lily followed his gaze and sighed, "We'll get him back," she whispered to RJ. "In the meantime, Kaylee's a strong Ranger. I'm sure she can handle herself."
"How do you know?" RJ asked. He didn't like undermining his cubs, but he had to make sure Kaylee was going to be okay fighting her fiancé.
"When Kaylee was on Operation Overdrive, she worked with my sister," Lily explained, "When I was attacked, the team came over, and Kaylee and I got to talking. She was pretty upset when Operation Overdrive had been replaced by Tori, Kira and the other retro Rangers, but she pulled out of that."
"Let her know we're all here for her," RJ said, putting a hand on Lily's shoulder. The dancer nodded and smiled.
"She'll know."
