RJ, Theo and Lily were on the training mat, fighting against Master Engel as a part of their training, while Kaylee sat on a stool by the counter, looking down at three different icepacks.

The first was long and thin, the second was large and fat and the third was three ice cubes in a plastic bag. Kaylee's mission was to figure out which injured family member got which icepack.

"Okay... so Engel's just got a little bump on her head... she should get the small one..."

Engel was suddenly flipped on her back by RJ as her arm landed under her back. Kaylee turned and groaned.

"Unless she predicted that," Kaylee sighed.

Engel got up, rubbed her arm and continued to spar.

"Okay, I guess it doesn't hurt," Kaylee smirked. "That means mom gets the ice, Lily can get the huge ass one for her back, and Kelly gets the long one for her arm. Done!"

Kaylee put the three icepacks in different coloured bags and smiled as she laid them out nicely on the table.

Suddenly, Casey walked into the loft, frowning when he saw the training going on without him.

"Um... didn't I tell you it was three o'clock?" he asked.

"Yeah, but RJ changed it to two," Theo told his leader. "Didn't anyone tell you?"

"No..."

"Sorry!" Kaylee yelled from her stool. "I thought RJ would have told you, he must have thought mom would have told you and mom probably thought I told you... it's got mixed up and forgotten!"

"Well... okay, I was thinking we could do some weapons practice, just to ..."

"Um, we already did," Lily sighed as RJ let go of her arm.

"Maybe some light one-on-one sparing," RJ offered.

"Sounds great, RJ!" Lily smiled.

"Knock, knock," a soft voice called as Kira walked into the loft, carrying both her twins in their little carriers.

"Oh, count me out!" Kaylee called, running to help her friend. "I've got nieces to ogle over!"

RJ and Theo teamed up for training while Lily and Engel worked together. Casey looked over at Kaylee, who was busy with the twins. Kelly was sleeping on the couch with an icepack on her arm. He was sure Kira wasn't ready to spar, and going against the twins would be cruel.

"Great... now what?" he sighed.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!

Kira's eyes widened as she realised what was about to happen next. She held her hands to her ears and closed her eyes just as the twins started screaming.

"Ow... okay... Summer's got a pair of lungs," Kaylee frowned, running to the monitors with the others while Kira tried to calm her kids down before they woke Kelly up.

"Okay, time for a little, on the job training," RJ smirked.

"Oh God... cheesy lines for RJ now..."

-----Jungle-Fury-----

Two soldiers walked through the city, laughing as civilians ran for their lives. The five Rangers ran up to them, smiling happily.

"Let's show these guys who we're dealing with," Casey nodded, leading the three other Rangers into battle. RJ hung back for a bit, before joining his friends.

The core four Rangers were having some trouble with the monsters, but RJ could handle himself pretty well against his beast.

The four Rangers were knocked back into a rock, landing on the ground in a heap. Lily turned to her leader as she stood back up.

"What should we do, Case?" she asked him.

"Well... uh... we should... uh..."

"What? We should what?" Lily asked desperately.

"Let's attack in sync," RJ suggested, coming up behind the group.

The two monsters stood side by side, smiling as RJ came up with a plan.

"Theo, go left, Lily, go right, Casey, from the front, Kaylee, from the back, I'll do an aerial. GO!"

The Rangers all nodded, going along with RJ's plan, except for Casey. Lily took the monster on the right, while Theo went left. Kaylee snuck up from behind, helping her friend hold the demons in place. RJ jumped into the air, powering up his wolf beam and shooting it at the monsters and the Rangers. Lily, Kaylee and Theo jumped out of the way just in time, but Casey, thinking the others were going to get hurt, ran forward, nearly getting caught in the blast.

The two monsters didn't want to deal with the attack anymore and disappeared. RJ landed in front of Casey and smirked.

"Voilà," he said.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

RJ had decided that outdoor training was best, especially now that Kira had the twins with her.

Kaylee decided to sit this one out again to play with her little nieces. She held Sam in her arms, playing with her carefully.

"...and one day, you're going to grow up big and strong, and you're going to meet a man, and daddy's going to hate him, okay, but it doesn't matter what daddy thinks, because you and me are going to be best friends, and only my opinion counts, okay," Kaylee whispered into the sleeping child's ear. "You don't ever have to listen to mommy or daddy if I say so."

"Kayl, are you giving my daughter bad advice?" Kira asked, changing Summer's diaper.

"No," Kaylee grinned, looking up at Kira happily. "I'll telling her to always listen and do as she's told."

"Good," Kira said, returning to her dirty job.

"As long as I'm the one telling you to do it," Kaylee whispered to Sam. "Mommy's got another baby, she won't mind if I steal you."

"Switch!" Kira called, giving Summer to Kaylee so Sam's diaper could be changed.

"Okay, Summer, listen well, one day you're gonna grow up big and strong..."

There was a sudden explosion, knocking all the Rangers back as the claw cannon disappeared. Kira and Kaylee grabbed onto the twins, protecting them from the fire, in case it reached, and looked over.

"BABIES!" they both yelled as Sam and Summer started screaming.

"Sorry," the Rangers whispered, powering down.

"What happened?" Kaylee asked, holding Summer as she walked over to the others. "Does the cannon not like the wolf?"

"It wasn't the wolf," RJ frowned. "Another spirit wasn't up to strength... the cannon didn't have enough energy to work properly."

Casey grabbed his bags and walked away, with an annoyed look on his face.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

Casey made it back to the loft, where Kelly and Engel were eating their lunch.

Well, Kelly was, Engel was poking the hot-dog in front of her.

"You eat dogs?" she asked.

Kelly sighed deeply, "It's not a dog... it's pork... I think..."

"You eat pigs?"

"What do you think meat is?"

"Pigs?"

"Animals."

"Ew!" Engel pushed her plate away.

"You've been eating it for months now!" Kelly groaned, pushing the plate back in front of Engel with her good arm. "Eat it."

"But... I'm the great..."

"Eat now, there is no way I'm feeding you that tofu stuff... I've seen it move."

"What's tofu?"

"Fake meat."

"It moves?"

"Sometimes, but don't tell Kira," Kelly laughed.

"Why?"

"She's..."

A basketball hitting the metal backboard of the basketball net interrupted Kelly as she turned to see what was making the noise that made the pounding in her head even louder.

"Hey, Tigger, can what the hell did you put in that ball?" she asked, getting up from her chair to walk over to him.

"It's just air," Casey frowned, throwing the ball at the net, hitting the backboard but missing. Kelly growled loudly, stealing the ball from Casey and throwing it aside.

"It doesn't go in when you're angry, so stop before I hurt you," she said.

"I'm not angry... I'm just..."

"What?" Kelly asked.

"When I first came here... I felt as if I was so far behind Theo and Lily... and especially Kaylee! But I worked hard... RJ helped me... and I was the leader. Then he joined us, took over, and now I feel like a cub again."

"Look, RJ's just really excited about everything that's been going on," Kelly assured him. "It's a great feeling to finally be a Power Ranger... but you're the leader, not him!"

The buzzer sounded and Casey tried running off to leave, but Kelly grabbed his arm.

"You're going to stay here," she told him.

"Am I ever going to lead again?" Casey frowned, picking up the ball and shooting it at the net again, hitting the backboard but missing. "I should go help them."

"A bent arrow doesn't fly straight!" Engel yelled, poking her hot dog.

"I'm not a bent arrow," Casey frowned.

"Fine," Kelly grabbed the ball from Casey and walked away. The tiger looked at her, a little hurt she would take away the basketball.

"Alright, so here's the deal," Kelly started. "If I want to save Dustin, I have to make this shot."

"From there?" Casey asked, noticing Kelly was at half court. "And with one arm."

"My bad arm too," Kelly smirked. "But yes, from here, with one arm."

"Good luck," Casey laughed, rolling his eyes.

"I'm serious," Kelly told him. "There's no luck involved. I have to make it, or we lose Dustin forever."

Kelly threw the ball in the air, and Casey immediately knew it wasn't going in the net. He ran, jumped for the ball and put it in the net. When he dropped, catching the ball, Kelly cheered, jumping in the air.

"Slam dunk, what did I tell ya?"

"But... I got it in..." Casey frowned.

"Details," Kelly laughed. "You made it happen, just like a real leader. There's no luck involved."

Casey smiled, handing the ball to Kelly before running off. Kelly called his name, stopping him for a second.

"There's this little voice in my head, telling me to tell you that leaders should also know when to be followers... but you probably know that, right?"

Casey laughed, smiling at Kelly as he turned to run off to help his friends.

With Casey gone and Engel distracted by the hot-dog, Kelly thought it safe to pull off her bandage to get a look at her arm. It was the first time she would ever see it, because she didn't want to know what RJ had done to her. She liked him, a lot, and didn't want to think he would ever hurt her.

"Staring at it won't make it hurt any less," Engel commented, walking over to Kelly.

"I know... it's just..."

"Do you have a spirit?" Engel asked suddenly, causing Kelly to look up at her.

"I don't know, you're the great master," she laughed.

"Just... be careful. Animal forms can get dangerous."

"You tell me this after RJ's is under control," Kelly sighed.

"I'm telling you this before you lose control."

"I don't like you confusing dead masters," Kelly said, wrapping her arm up and turning away. "You're so..."

"Confusing?"

"Don't finish my sentences for me," Kelly laughed.

"I'm a master, I can do anything I want."

"Eat your hot-dog."

"I don't want to do that."

-----Jungle-Fury-----

When Casey got to the battlefield, he saw RJ was struggling with his monster, while Theo, Lily and Kaylee were at their monster's mercy. Without a second thought he jumped in front of them, powering up and summoning his tiger to protect them.

He helped his friends up, smiling before the monsters attacked. Theo and Lily took on one monster, using their newer weapons and their Jungle Master Mode.

RJ, Casey and Kaylee took on the other one.

"Kaylee, do what you do," Casey called out. Kaylee nodded.

ZWOP!

"RJ, double team!"

"Good call," RJ agreed, running forward and landing a kick, pushing the monster back as he and Casey powered up. They brought their weapon and fist down on the monster.

ZWOP!

BOOM!

"I wonder why Ronny didn't let me do this more often?" Kaylee giggled, standing where the monster once stood, before she had blown it up. "Oh well, Casey lets me do it!"

"Alright, one down, one to go," Casey cheered. "RJ, we'll use the cannon, you use the wolf beam."

"Got it," RJ nodded, powering up the wolf beam as Theo and Lily ran over to help charge up the cannon.

The last monster stood in the way of the two beams, putting it in danger's path as the beams connected.

"And the monster goes boom!" Kaylee giggled as the monster exploded and the Rangers turned, striking their individual poses.

"Um... why do we do this?" Lily asked, turning to the green Ranger.

"I really don't know," Kaylee whispered. "It's happened for sixteen years now, can't break tradition."

-----Jungle-Fury-----

Ever since the Overlords had brought GrizzaKa in, Dustin had been feeling cast aside. He wanted the earth overlord's reign to end.

He pulled out a box from the wall as Camille walked in.

"Whatever it is you're looking for, I can help," she offered as he dug around in the box, tossing out scrolls. "I know this dusty temple better than anyone. I've crawled these walls for centuries, with nothing to do but change colours..."

"The map to the nexus," Dustin asked her.

"The nexus?" Camille asked. "Which one?"

"The most powerfully one," Dustin said, "the rhino nexus."

"Home of the rhino power. You really wanna put Grizzaka in his place."

-----Jungle-Fury-----

"GUESS WHAT!" Fran called, walking into the dining room, where everyone was seated around a table, including Kira and the babies. Fran carried a tray over, keeping it in the air as she introduced it. "I came up with this while you guys were gone. It's my secret receipy."

She placed the tray on the table, "Chocolate and anchovies."

"Do we have to eat it?" Kaylee asked.

"Just try one," Fran begged.

"I picked the wrong day to eat fish," Kira sighed.

"Um... Tori's allergic to seafood," Kaylee started, before all eyes turned to her, "Yeah, I know, dolphin girl's allergic to fish."

"What does this have to do with you eating this?" Lily asked, pointing to the tray.

"I don't know, hopefully someone will make a connection that will keep me from trying it," Kaylee shrugged.

"You know, I gotta go put the girls down for a nap," Kira said, getting out of her seat, before Kaylee stole the twins.

"No, I'll do it, I insist. After all, I still haven't given Summer her speech about boys yet. You stay and eat, I'll put them in their cribs," Kaylee said, grabbing the girls and running.

"Bitch," Kira growled, sinking back in her chair and crossing her arms.

"C'mon, just try one and tell me what you think," Fran pleaded.

"You know... I'm breastfeeding right now, and whatever I eat goes into the girls... I don't think..."

"If we're eating it, so are you," Kelly laughed, grabbing one of the fish, dipping it in chocolate and pushing it in Kira's mouth. "You'll just breastfeed later."

"C'mon guys, we might as well try," Casey laughed, reaching for a fish. The others followed his lead.

"I'll be daring and try two," RJ smiled.

"Well?" Fran asked as the fish went down all the Ranger's throats.

"Ew... I would rather eat the hot-dog," Engel said, spitting up into her napkin.

"They're that bad?" Fran frowned.

"Wait a minute, wasn't the deal that we all try one?" Casey asked, standing up and grabbing a fish.

"I think I remember Fran saying that," Lily smirked.

"So, Fran, one anchovy, or two?" Engel laughed as the Rangers ran after Fran. Kelly and RJ stayed behind. RJ shrugged, reaching for another small fish until Kelly grabbed his arm.

"Is it normal... you know..." she didn't want to have to ask. She knew RJ didn't like to talk about her injuries, but her arm had been burning for the past couple of hours. Normally she would have thought nothing of it, but Engel seemed to think otherwise and her words early had made Kelly think twice about the pain.

"Kelly, you can tell me anything remember?" RJ told her, taking her hand. "Don't hide your problems. People just get hurt."

Kelly nodded, "Is it normal for my arm to burn?"

RJ looked away for a second before turning back to her. He gently touched the bandage on her arm as he looked in her eyes.

"It was pretty deep... I'm sure it's normal."

"Okay... but what about this?"

Kelly unwrapped the bandage, showing RJ what had recently been burned into her skin. The wolf Master grabbed her arm to examine it.

The wound had morphed itself into the insignia of the Wolf animal spirit.
