"Whoa... long day," Casey sighed, putting a tray of pizza down on the counter to share with the others.

"Very long," Lily agreed as she and Kaylee joined the boys. "Look at the tips, nine dollars and ten cents."

"Who gave you the ten cents?" Theo laughed.

"Every table," Lily groaned, slamming her head down on the counter.

"Really?" Fran asked. "You would think that customers would pay more when they got served by Kaylee Hanson and her newest little sister."

"Meh!" Kaylee breathed, throwing off hat.

Suddenly, there was a loud squeak.

"What was that?" Dom asked through a mouthful of pizza. Fran turned and screamed when she saw a rat, sitting under one of the booth tables. She jumped up on the counter, hugging her knees to her chest. When the Rangers caught sight of the rat, they all did the same, jumping up at high as they could. Theo grabbed a chair and held it up to protect himself.

"Shouldn't one of you go get the rat?" Fran asked. "You are Power Rangers!"

Kaylee shook her head furiously, "No way... rats... not my thing."

"Don't look at me, if I try catching that thing, its memories will haunt me forever! I'm still trying to get Kira and Conner's first night out of my head!" Lily frowned.

The blue and red boys exchanged glances, shaking their heads and then turning to Dom.

"Well, it depends how you look at it," Dom started. "Fighting unspeakable evil is one thing, but rats... speak?"

"Casey's our leader, he should do it," Lily volunteered, turning to Casey, practically begging him with her eyes to save her from the little, white rat.

"Me?" Casey asked.

"Fine, I'll do it," Theo said, hoping to look brave in front of Lily.

"No... No... I got it," Casey said, holding the blue boy back as he moved to go around the counter.

The rat squeaked again, causing everyone to jump. Fran jumped far back enough, she landed in Dom's lap, with him holding his arms around her as a reflex. Lily jumped back as well, running out of counter room and landing in Casey's arms (he was the only standing behind the counter). He smirked at Theo, holding her close.

Kaylee had no arms to jump into, so she landed on the floor with a thump.

"Ow..." she said, rubbing her butt before the rat squeaked again. She looked up at Lily and Fran and pouted when she saw they had heroes. Hers was temporarily out of service, so she needed a replacement.

"Ducky!" she called, grabbing the plastic toy and placing the ring under her butt. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pretended he was holding her.

"Hey... um... do you know where the rat's been?" Fran asked, looking down at Kaylee, blushing as she pulled away from Dom. "It could have peed..."

She didn't have to say anymore before Kaylee jumped back up on the counter, leaving Ducky on the floor.

"I'll wash you later, Ducky!" Kaylee looked down at her ducky with a sad smile. "I promise."

"Mighty Rangers," Engel and RJ laughed, walking into the parlour with a rat cage. "We need a new name for you guys."

"Something along the lines of..."

"Shut up and get the rat out of here," Kaylee frowned. Engel laughed, walking over to the table where the rat was and picking it up in her hand.

"Hey little guy," she cooed, much like Kaylee would to her nieces and nephew. "What are you doing in here?"

She placed the white rat in the cage, and RJ locked the door so it couldn't get out. He spotted the pizza on the counter and put it inside so the rat could eat.

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

Theo kept the soccer ball high in the air, directing it towards Casey, who hit it with his head to Lily. She kicked it in the air, and Dom jumped, kicking it into the net, where Kaylee blocked it, kicking it back at the white Ranger, nailing him in the chest. Dom caught the ball with his hands, but fell backwards from the force of the impact.

"And you said the bigger the stronger," Kaylee giggled. "Do not underestimate the small and mighty."

"So mighty she cowards at the sight of a rat!" Engel teased.

The buzzer went off before Kaylee could reply, and the Rangers and Engel ran for the monitors, where two monsters, working together, were attacking the city.

"Let's do it," Kaylee nodded.

The others grabbed their vines, but RJ grabbed Kaylee's shoulder.

"How about watching the store?" he asked her.

"I may not have my leopard spirit, but I can still fight, RJ," Kaylee frowned. "You know, last time I was underestimated Tori, Kira, Kelly, Dr. O, Xander, Bridge and Adam felt my wrath. Boy did they not like it."

"No... it's not that... I just need you to keep Maurice company," RJ smirked.

"Maurice?" Kaylee frowned.

"Yeah, my new rat friend, I think he's French," RJ smiled, pointing to the cage. "Bonjour!"

"Chaque fois que les Anglais parlent en français, ils dissent toujours la même chose. Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour. N'apprennent-ils rien d'autre à l'école?"

RJ looked over at Kaylee, a little surprise she could speak French so fluently.

"European roots," Kaylee explained. "Eva should know, right mom!"

Engel looked down and shrugged, "Everyone comes from somewhere."

"Look, Kayl, without your spirit, you can't morph... I just don't want you getting hurt," RJ explained. "If this is too much, then we'll call for you, okay?"

"Okay," Kaylee nodded. "But only if you let me teach you more French than 'bonjour'," Kaylee frowned.

Suddenly, she held her head in pain, receiving a message from Whiger. She looked at her mother, hoping Engel didn't notice her.

"Green Ranger, come to me."

Kaylee turned back to her mother, before running off. Engel watched her go and sighed.

"Kaylee..."

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

"HEY!" Casey yelled, seeing a small rat monster throw powder on a group of people, making them disappear, "What did you do with everyone?"

"Oh, the V. are here!" Badrat grinned, "You're about to find out."

"Oh, look, what a coincidence, it's a rat!" Lily frowned.

The Rangers charged, but Badrat blocked all their shots, before throwing them down. He grabbed the powder from his pocket and sprinkled it all over them.

"What's happening?" Dom asked as he started to fade.

"I don't know," Theo frowned.

"This can't be good," Lily stated.

The other monster appeared and smirked.

"Have fun, Rangers!" he waved.

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

"You mother will pay for what she did to me!" Whiger yelled as Kaylee arrived at the quarry. Kaylee turned to him as he tried summoning his Rinzen to attack her. Nothing happened and he looked down at his hands. "NO!"

"You don't have Rinzen?" Kaylee asked.

"Because of your mother, I have been stripped of everything, including my honour!"

"And you're going after me?" Kaylee asked. "Yo, my mom did this to you, why me?"

"I can defeat you!" Whiger yelled, running forward. Kaylee ducked under his shot, before trying her own.

Whiger caught her punch and threw her down by the edge of the cliff, where it was a long drop to the bottom. He tried grabbing her chest to steal the rest of her spirit, but Kaylee grabbed his arm.

"Your destruction is the only thing that can redeem my honour!" Whiger yelled.

"You want honour," Kaylee growled, "and I want my spirit back!"

Kaylee put her hand to the tiger on Whiger's chest, trying to pull her spirit back. Whiger pulled away, so Kaylee spun her legs around, kicking him off the ledge.

She knew murder was no way to win a battle (unless she wanted to suffer the wrath of the redhead), so she reached out and grabbed Whiger's arm, holding him up so he wouldn't fall.

"Pull yourself up!" Kaylee told him.

"NO!" Whiger yelled. "This is the final shame, let me go!"

"No," Kaylee shook her head. She moved her other hand to grab onto the heavy monster and pulled with every muscle in her tiny body.

Finally, Whiger was back on solid ground. He looked up at her.

"General Whiger, once a mighty Phantom Beast, now totally disgraced... you should have let me fall! I tried to destroy you, and you save my life."

"Yeah, well I don't think I can murder again," Kaylee frowned, "and I've been taught to help people and animals... it's been my job for five years now."

"My end is near, Green Ranger," Whiger said, looking at his hand as it shook violently. Kaylee could tell by the way he was struggling to stand that he had been weakened considerably. "Let me repay you, by helping you save your friends."

"Save my friends?" Kaylee asked. "What happened to them."

"I'll show you, if you'll trust me," Whiger said, pulling himself to his feet and bowing to Kaylee.

"I guess I have no choice," Kaylee sighed.

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

When the Rangers came too, Lily jumped to her feet, looking out from a hole in her prison while the others scattered.

"Where are we?" she asked.

"In some kind of a box," RJ frowned. All the Rangers could tell that their prison was suspended, because it was shifting from side to side. They had to work hard to keep their balance.

"We're in a rat trap," Casey told the others, grabbing the sides to stay on his feet.

"Typical," Dom sighed. "We trap a rat, and now we're trapped like a rat!"

"We didn't trap it, I did," RJ reminded the rhino. "But at least I was humane about it. They didn't even leave us any pizza!"

The cage shifted rapidly, pushing everyone over. Lily almost hit the ground, until Casey caught her, holding her up.

Suddenly, a stick was shoved through one of the few holes in the trap, nearly hitting Theo's head. He brought his hand down on it, snapping it as Badrat and the other monster looked inside.

As the two monsters left, Kaylee ran in, undetected thanks to her ninja skills. Whiger followed and pointed to the trap hanging in the middle of the room.

"Your friends are in there," he said.

"Kaylee!"

"Oh, little voices," Kaylee giggled, running to the trap and holding it steady as she looked inside. "Aw, you guys are so cute in there."

"Get us out!" Theo begged her.

"How pathetic," Camille smirked, entering the room. "A Ranger with no spirit and a general with no Rinzen... a stiff wind could blow you over!"

Camille charged, throwing Whiger aside and attacking Kaylee. She pulled out her claws from her knuckles and swiped at the Pheonix. Camille blocked the sharp claws, grabbing Kaylee's arm.

"Let her go!" Whiger yelled, wrapping his arms around Camille and bringing her down. Kaylee smirked, putting her knee on Camille's chest once Whiger rolled out from under her. She held her claws inches from Camille's neck and smirked.

"You were saying?" she smirked.

Camille kicked her feet up and Kaylee flew across the room. Whiger, who was enraged, charged at Camille. She turned, slashing at him with a deadly blow.

Whiger landed beside Kaylee, feeling his death was near. He shifted positions, grabbing Kaylee arm and pressing ehr hand to the tiger on his chest.

"Take back your spirit, it's the only way!" he told her. Kaylee nodded, pulling her Leopard from the beast.

Kaylee stood up once her leopard was back inside her and positioned herself in front of Whiger.

"Save my friends," she told the general. "I have a score to settle."

Whiger nodded, grabbing the cage and running out. He knew of Kaylee's vendetta against Camille and he knew there was no stopping a woman scorn.

"It looks like it's just you and me, Green Ranger," Camille smirked.

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

Whiger ran until it was safe, reaching a forest. He opened the door to the cage and let out the Rangers, before dropping to his knees.

"Are you okay?" Lily asked, dropping to his side.

"Without my Rinzen, I will fade away," Whiger explained.

"Why did you help us?" Casey asked.

"Dustin has proven to be my enemy... but the green Ranger... she has proven to be my friend."

With that, Whiger disappeared.

Badrat and his monster ally appeared before the Ranger, upset they had been freed.

"C'mon guys, let finish this quickly," Lily said, calling the claw cannon. "Dom, think you can let a spirit?"

"Always willing to help," Dominic nodded, placing his hand on the cannon.

"RJ, you get the tall one, rat boy's ours," Casey ordered.

"Right!"

"CLAW CANNON!" the four Rangers yelled.

"WOLF BEAM!" RJ shouted.

Both cannons were shot at once, connecting with their intended targets and destroying them.

"YES!" the Rangers cheered.

"Rangers, return to base," Engel ordered.

"What?" Lily frowned, powering down and putting her glasses on to talk, "but Kaylee..."

"There's nothing you can do. Return to base."

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

Kaylee had the upper hand, using her anger to fuel her energy, but fighting with the same honour she carried as a Ranger. She threw Camille into the side of a wall and waited for her to get back to her feet.

"Who's pathetic now, Camille," she taunted.

Suddenly, a powerful blast shot her back and Kaylee hit the other wall. She looked up and saw Dustin standing by Camille, helping her up as he glared at Kaylee.

"You should not have come here," he said.

"Why, what are you going to do?" Kaylee asked. "You've already beaten me, tortured me, and run away from me... there's nothing more you can do to hurt me."

"Kaylee, get out," Dustin frowned.

"You can't hurt me," Kaylee smiled, getting to her feet. "You can't do it... that's why you send monsters to do it..."

"Kaylee, I said, get out!"

Knowing there was still a little humanity in Dustin, Kaylee saw this as an opportunity to rescue him.

"No."

"Kaylee!" Dustin yelled, stepping forward, with his hands in fists, but stopping before anything could happen.

"Let me, Dustin," Camille smiled, moving towards Kaylee, but Dustin held her back. Kaylee was wrong, he didn't send monsters to hurt her because he couldn't do it, but it was because he couldn't bear to watch. After his plan to erase her memories failed, he thought he could save her by destroying her, but he quickly realised he couldn't do it. So he sent out his monsters.

Now, Kaylee was right before him, refusing to move. He couldn't attack her, and he couldn't watch Camille do it.

"Dustin..."

"I'm happy here, Kaylee..."

"It's all a lie," Kaylee yelled. "You're not happy, you just think you are so it doesn't hurt to be away from me and your family! Dustin, please come back!"

"Kaylee, leave!" Dustin screamed.

"I got it," Camille smiled, charging at Kaylee knocking her into a pile of debris.

"Camille, stop!" Dustin yelled, ripping Camille away, only to realise his actions.

Camille looked up at him and growled. She grabbed Kaylee roughly, throwing her to the ground at Dustin's feet.

"Kill her," she ordered Dustin. "If you truly love me, kill her."

Camille gave one of her Sais to Dustin, pointed the sharp blade down at Kaylee.

"Camille, I shouldn't have to..."

"Make your choice, Dustin," Camille told him. "You love me now, not Kaylee."

"Camille..."

"You love me!" Camille yelled. "Say it, or I'll kill her!"

"I love you, Camille," Dustin whispered, lowing his head. He knew Camille's plan was flawed. The only reason he told Camille he loved her was to spare Kaylee's life, because in reality he loved her. If he truly loved Camille, he would have allowed her to murder Kaylee. Camille didn't seem to notice this though as she pushed the tears back.

She just wanted to be loved.

"Good," she said, "then you won't have a problem killing her."

Camille's flawed plan seemed to turn in her favour. Now she would know for sure if Dustin was lying or not. Kaylee looked up from the ground at Dustin as he handled the weapon that would kill her. He couldn't defy Camille; she held all the cards at the moment. One wrong move and Kaylee could die painfully. At the same time, he couldn't please Camille, because that would mean killing the woman he truly loved.

He hated love triangles.

"You lied!" Camille yelled, pulling out her other Sais. Dustin was ready to jump in the way in case she tried anything against Kaylee, but she didn't.

"Kill her," she ordered. "Kill her if you truly love me... she means nothing anymore."

"Camille, listen to yourself, if this what you want?" Dustin asked.

"Scorch, Snapper!" Camille called, and the two beast appeared by her side. "Take Dustin and lock him up on his throne."

"NO!" Dustin yelled as the two remaining beast obeyed their queen without question. They dragged him out of the dungeon. When they reached the door, they lifted him to his feet, holding his steady. Camille looked at her loyal servants and smiled.

"When you get back, bring some rope for the Green Ranger. I want her body to hang for all to see."

"No! Kaylee!" Dustin yelled as he was pulled away.

Kaylee tried pulling herself to her feet to fight back, but Camille kicked her down.

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

Scorch and Snapper made sure the restraints were secure, before going to fetch Kaylee from the dungeon. Moments later they dragged her limp body out. The tied a rope around her neck and suspended her from a beam on the ceiling.

"Kayl..." Dustin whispered as a tear dropped from his eyes. He looked up at her, and then glared at Camille. "You bitch."

"Now that she's not longer in the way, you'll have no choice but to love me," Camille said, walking over to Dustin and sitting on his lap. "Say it."

"Never," Dustin frowned, looking up at Camille. "I will never say it, nor will I ever love you."

Camille growled, walking up to Kaylee's hanging body and tapping it gently, "You'll say it one day," she breathed.

Camille walked out, smiling at herself.

When she was gone, a small figure ran out from the shadows. It stopped and turned to Dustin.

"Dada!" she giggled, clapping her hands together and pointing to Dustin.

The former yellow Ranger looked up, spotting the young, curly haired blonde in the throne room.

"Kid, get out of here," he whispered. "You're going to get hurt!"

The child looked up at Dustin and shook her head. She reached up, touching Kaylee's foot. Suddenly, the rope suspending her snapped, and Kaylee dropped to the ground.

"Leave her alone!" Dustin yelled, pulling on his restraints. He knew it was useless, but maybe he could keep the kid from torturing Kaylee's body.

"Dada," the kid nodded and then pointed to Kaylee, "Mama."

Dustin relaxed in his chair, realising he was getting nowhere with the child.

The little girl looked down at Kaylee and kissed her on the cheek.

There was a glow surrounding Kaylee as the little girl ran over to Dustin. She jumped on his lap and hugged him. Dustin's could return the favour, because his arms were tied to the chair, but he appreciated the gesture.

"Save," the little girl whispered, jumping off Dustin's lap. She ran to hug Kaylee, then stood up straight.

ZWOP!

In a cloud of smoke, she was gone.

Dustin's eyes widened. Kaylee was the only one able to zwop... unless...

"Sammy?" he choked.

Kaylee's eyes fluttered open right before she began a coughing fit. She began to panic, holding her throat in pain.

"Kaylee!" Dustin cried, looking over at her. "Kaylee! It's okay... calm down. Thank God you refuse to die."

"I... I didn't refuse," Kaylee managed to say, running over to Dustin, still holding her throat. "I was saved."

"There was a little girl... she zwopped, I think it was..."

"I know... now I've got to get you out of here," Kaylee pulled on the metal cuffs, but was ripped away.

"Why don't you Rangers ever die?" Camille asked, throwing Kaylee to the ground, where the Phantom Beasts grabbed her. "Lock her up, will you, make sure she doesn't escape."

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

Lily paced the room in a panic, shaking out of fear. She couldn't look Engel in the eyes. The so-called Great Master had left Kaylee in Dustin and Camille's temple, alone!

"Do you even care about her?" Lily finally yelled. "You left her, alone! You know Kaylee's suicidal! Anything can influence her to let Camille or Dustin take her life!"

"I know," Engel nodded. "That's why I sent in help."

"Help?" Lily growled. "What help? We're all right here!"

"Lily, calm down," Casey whispered, pulling her into his arms. "Yelling isn't going to help anyone... and we don't even know if Kaylee is in danger. When we left, she seemed to have the upper hand."

"It's been hours!" Lily yelled, pointing to the clock.

"Traffic?" Casey tried.

Lily screamed, punching him in the chest before collapsing in his arms. Casey held her tight, kissing the top of her head. He didn't care if Theo saw. He loved Lily, and he hated to see her hurting. He would do anything to make her feel better.

ZWOP!

That famous sound gave hope to the Rangers as they turned to the source, only to find a one year old girl.

"Mama!" the girl smiled, running over to Engel, who opened her arms and pulled her into a hug.

"Sammy?" Theo frowned. "This is your help? An eight month old girl?"

"She's turning one today," Engel smiled, holding her adoptive daughter. "Kaylee miscarried her exactly one year ago, one December 17th... that was when she arrived in the Spirit world. I see Master Guinn's taught her a few words."

"Taty Twin!" Sammy giggled, clapping her hands at the mention of her aunt.

"But she's still too young to speak properly," Engel laughed, poking her daughter on the nose playfully.

"What the hell is she going to do?" Lily yelled.

"She just saved Kaylee's life," Engel assured the dancer. "But she can't rescue her, only Masters can."

"So we'll call the Masters," Dom suggested.

"Only you masters can save Kaylee and Dustin," Engel added.

"But... only RJ is a Master," Casey frowned.

"Not anymore," Engel snapped her fingers as the four Masters appeared in the room. "Theo, Casey, Lily, you three must advance to the next level if you want to save Kaylee..."

Leanne stepped back, leaving the three Masters to challenge their cubs. That's when she noticed the child.

"Sammy?" she asked. Engel put Sammy on the ground as the child unsteadily walked over to the woman who tried so hard to save her a year before. She smiled up at the red head and hugged her, so full of love for the people she knew her mother would love.

Engel looked back at the three cubs.

"Casey, Theo, Lily, it's time for you to prove your worth and fight for your stripes."
