-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Jacob and Sean were sitting on the couch in his living room. The two were cuddling and enjoying some time to themselves, Jacob is still not fit for fighting since he has some injures that need to heal which includes a broken wrist. Jacob hated the idea of not going to practice or even training but he does feel better spending time with his girlfriend. Sean was resting her head on her boyfriend's chest, she could feel his heart beat.

"This is nice." Sean says.

Jacob used his good hand and was rubbing her shoulder, "Yeah."

Sean smiles, "Wish I could stay here all day."

Jacob raised his eyebrow, "Why can't you?"

Sean's smile faded, "I- have training."

Jacob's smile faded, "I see."

Sean then felt her boyfriend attempt to sit up, "You can always come with. Everyone misses you."

Jacob shakes his head, "Nah. I'd rather not."

Sean holds onto his good hand, "You need to stop this."

"Stop what?" He asks.

"Pushing everyone away. Your friends, your brother, and me. We're all worried." She says.

Jacob exhaled, "I know."

Sean touches his cheek, "Then what's wrong?"

Jacob shrugged, "I- don't know. I just know I don't feel the same."

Sean nods, "Okay." She says.

Jacob looks at her, "Go. Before Dr. B throws a fit that you are late. Wouldn't want my girlfriend in trouble." He says.

Sean grins, "You are so thoughtful." She says as she stood.

Jacob leans up toward the standing girl, Sean leaned downward toward her boyfriend. Their lips met and they kissed until Sean pulled back. She had a soft smile on her face and waved goodbye. He smiled and waved goodbye to her, and sat there until he heard the front door shut. Jacob exhaled and stood up, he walked to the bathroom on the first floor and stairs at the reflection. He used his good hand and splashed water in his face, then looked up at himself before shaking his head.

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Zack was looking at his team, his friends, his responsibility. He scouted and noticed Sean slipping in a few minutes late. He knew where she was, at Jacob's. He couldn't blame her for being late, heck he wanted to see him but Jacob had told his mom that he is not feeling well which is why he had been missing the last three days of school. Zack walked over there without gaining any attention. He walked over to Sean, who was putting on her tennis shoes and noticed her team leader above her.

"I was in the bathroom." Sean lied.

"Save it, how is he?" Zack asked.

Sean finished tying her shoes and stood, "Honestly?"

Zack nods.

Sean shrugs, "I don't know. He seems fine but whenever I mention training or the team, he gets quiet. You should see his face when I mention his brother." Sean said.

Zack exhales, "That bad?"

Sean nods, "And I am so worried."

Zack nods, "He'll get through this." He says.

Sean looks upset, "How? He's been avoiding everyone, including his own brother. I'm lucky he even wants to see me." Sean said.

Zack shrugs, "I'll try calling his cell tonight. Maybe I can talk some sense in that head of his."

The two join the group of rangers. Anya had finished talking to Zane, who just got back from visiting Meadowedge. He had to return due to some kind of personal reasons and when he was in town he ran into an old friend. Next to Zane was a twenty-three year old adult male. This guy had long brown hair, which was pulled back in a small ponytail, he also had brown eyes and of Asian descent. Wearing a white t-shirt with a brown jacket over top, blue jeans, tennis shoes, and black gloves over his hands.

"Who is your friend?" Ally asks looking at him.

Zane grins, "Rangers. Allow me to introduce you my old mentor, Jayden Hashimoto." Zane said.

The rangers looked so impressed. Which was mind blowing for the former mentor. Jayden had a small smile on his face and he awkwardly waved at them, and turned his eyes back to Zane and Anya.

"Hi," Jayden said.

Terra nudges Nathaniel, "Wow he's a talker." She rolls her eyes.

Zane had a firm grasp on Jayden's shoulder, "This guy is the best! He taught all of us Element Rangers how to fight and even control our powers."

Joshua looked so impressed, "No kidding."

Jayden nods, "Yeah. It wasn't too difficult."

Rory scratches his head, "And how was it easy?"

Jayden awkwardly chuckles, "Well I- I am kinda the same as them."

Jayden wasn't much as a talker, he always dreaded speaking in front of people and hated "babysitting" but he grew to like spending his time with his old group of rangers. Zane smiled and chuckles, then he moves forward to take the spotlight very naturally of him.

"Well, Jay has the ability to read auras." Zane said.

"What?" Sean spoke.

"Read auras?" Nathaniel spoke.

"You serious?" Zack spoke.

Zane nods, "Heck yeah. That's why he wears the gloves."

That's when Anya walks over and places a hand on Jayden's shoulder, "So how is that going to work with you and Rachel tying the knot?"

Jayden grins, "Um- we're just going to the courthouse and signing the papers."

Zack looks a bit shocked, "You're getting married?"

Jayden nods, "Yeah. I'm twenty-three, and life has to keep going even after all of this was over."

Terra rubs the back of her head, "Um okay. So what does bringing an old mentor have to do with us?"

Anya took a step forward, "Lately the team has been well- not as top as you were before and then again you weren't really that high up, more like teenagers expressing their hormonal rage." Anya said.

Zane stepped forward as well, "I went back to Meadowedge for some personal reasons but ran into Jay and knew it couldn't have been an accident. So with his approval, and Rachel's, he decided to come out here and see how this team can be more effective together." Zane said.

Nathaniel glances around and then sighs, "I guess I'll be the one to say it."

"Say what?" Rory asks.

"Joshua, he technically isn't a ranger- or yet but whatever. Jacob is the Blue Ranger and he is a key member, him not being here is just wrong." Nathaniel said.

Terra nods, "I agree with Winchester over here. I mean Jacob is a good guy, and he must feel betrayed by all of this." Terra says.

Jayden looks at the Beast Warriors, "So Jacob is the Blue Ranger but his brother is using his morpher?"

"We're twins, our DNA are the same so I can use his morpher." Joshua said.

Jayden nods, "These morphers are so weird. The element morphers only worked on the Legendary Warriors."

Zane chuckles, "Yeah but our morphers were cooler."

Jayden shakes his head with a smile then looks at the rangers, "If you truly request him being here then go get him. He is a friend, a brother, and even a boyfriend."

Sean looked puzzled and Jayden pointed to his gloves.

"The gloves can only hold out so much, that and I know when someone is very important to others." Jayden said and formed a small smile.

The rangers looked at Jayden. More curious about what he was about to tell them. Zane stood behind his former mentor with a small smile on his face with Anya standing next to Zane. Jayden looked at his gloves and then gazed upwards at the rangers with a little bit bigger smile on his face.

"When I was twelve I lost both my parents. I lived with my grandfather and was home-schooled. My powers left me- to be a freak of nature, so I avoided any kind of socializing outside of the temple where the rangers were trained. I- I never knew what it was like to have friends, to form bonds with others until Zane and the others. Each of their own different personality, different way they viewed life made me a better person. Heck, they were there to pick me up when I lost my grandfather. They are my family. They mean so much. I'd even die for all of them." Jayden said.

Ally didn't notice the tear sliding down her cheek. Rory placed a hand on her shoulder, and she held his hand with a soft smile. Sean looked down and then to Zack. Terra glanced at Nathaniel and Nathaniel glanced at Terra. Joshua was fumbling with his brother's morpher. Lastly, Zack kept his head down.

"I don't know much or really anything about you all. But trust me, I know when most people push others away they need them closer. Even if they don't want to say it." Jayden said.

Zack looks up, "Are you certain?"

Jayden nods, "Yeah kid. I am."

Zack glanced at Anya, "Anya can we-?"

Anya shakes her head, "After practice. We need to keep our eyes sharp."

"But Jay just said-." Sean said using Jayden's nickname.

Zane nods, "We are aware but we can't just stop what we are doing. When Zara was first evil we wanted to do something but- we had to be patient and when she turned good we still had to keep going on. Life goes on, it can't stop." Zane said.

Jayden peaked over, "Wise words."

Zane winks, "Learned from the best."

Sean exhales and looks at Joshua, 'Oh Jacob.'

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Jacob walked downstairs to find his mom and dad were still at work. Joshua was still at training. He was alone. Jacob entered the kitchen but soon felt as if someone or something was watching him within the house. He reached over and grabbed a kitchen knife, turning around to face whoever it was in his home. Jacob turned seeing Ruko appearing from the shadows.

"You're going to poke someone's eye out with that, kid." Ruko said.

Still pointing the knife at him Jacob says, "What do you want?"

Ruko chuckles, "Can't a monster come for a friendly visit?"

"Friendly visit? Is that what you're calling it?" Jacob asks.

Ruko nods and faces Jacob, "I've been watching you Jacob Young."

Jacob looked puzzled.

"You're shocked. I have a friend who can morph into human form and got all the information I needed about you." Ruko said.

Jacob was steady with the blade, "Okay. So why are you in my kitchen? You had your chance to take me or better yet kill me, are you here to finish the job?" Jacob asked.

Ruko shakes his head, "No no. Jacob, may I call you Jacob, you are a very special child." Ruko said.

Jacob watched as Ruko walked near their breakfast bar in the home, he turns and fully faces Ruko. Jacob stared at the rat monster, watching each step he makes and checked if he was carrying any weapons.

"You don't belong with them," Ruko spoke.

"With who?" Jacob asks.

Ruko chuckles, "Quit denying it Jacob. You and I both know you'll never get along in that group." Ruko said.

"Is that so?" Jacob asks.

Ruko nods, "Of course. You are different, you are gifted." Ruko said.

Jacob held the blade tightly in his grip, "So you've told me."

Ruko was now standing in front of Jacob. In front of the blade. Ruko was staring into Jacob's eyes, and Jacob was staring into Ruko's eyes. Jacob, however, kept his grip on the knife and still kept his guard up.

"You are the lone wolf, forever to be left in the dust. You have been fooling yourself for years, by surrounding yourself with people. Admit it to yourself, you only joined the football team to be surrounded by people." Ruko said.

Jacob held the knife tighter, "No."

"Betcha Sean is just a pawn too." Ruko said.

"Stop it." Jacob said.

"Zack, Nathaniel, Rory, Terra, and Ally." Ruko said.

Jacob pushed the knife in the rat's face, "I said stop it."

"And Joshua," Ruko said with a grin, "Come on. Be happy, you finally got Joshua to leave you alone. Just look around, its five o'clock and you're all alone." Ruko said.

Jacob glared, "What do you want with me?" He asks.

"Didn't you put it together yet?" Ruko asked.

"Enlighten me." Jacob says.

"You, Jacob. The boss wants you. He sees your pain, he sees your suffering. These people could never understand what goes on in that head of yours." Ruko said.

Jacob felt his breathing get rapid, he was holding the knife so tight and his jaw tighten. Ruko had a smile on his face, he took on more step forward and placed his hand on the knife. He was lowering the knife and Jacob didn't stop him. What was once steady hands began to shake, shake uncontrollably. Jacob gazed to the floor and then Ruko took enough step closer until.

Knock, knock.

Jacob's head lifted up quickly, Ruko had vanished. Jacob was still holding the knife in his hands, shaking with the anxiety of what just occurred. Jacob placed the knife back and began to walk to the locked door. He rubbed his good hand over his sweaty face, and was trying to gather his thoughts from what just occurred. He unlocked the door and opened it to find the gang standing there which included his brother standing a little away.

"Hey man," Rory said.

"Why was the door locked?" Nathaniel asked.

"Dude you okay?" Zack asked noticing Jacob's silence.

Jacob nods, "Um- I just had a weird dream is all. I locked it while I was napping, I didn't want some weirdo creeping through the house." Jacob lied.

Ally grins, "Sounds legit."

Sean touches his shoulder, "You sure you're okay?"

Jacob nods, "Positive."

He leans forward and kisses her on the lips, which took Sean by total surprise. She was expecting a kiss on the cheek while they were around their friends but she didn't hate that kiss. Ally and Terra smile while the guys just roll their eyes, they've expected the fact that Sean and Jacob are dating so they are use to them kissing. Jacob felt Sean hold his hand, she smiled.

"So- why are you all here?" Jacob asked.

"We were worried." Terra said.

Jacob looked confused, "Worried? Why?" Jacob asks.

Zack took a few steps forward, "We're your friends Jake. And we let you down, we weren't here for you. We're sorry." Zack said.

Jacob tried to form a smile but couldn't, "Um- you shouldn't be apologizing. I should."

There was a moment of silence as Jacob with Sean trailing behind, wandered to the couch. The others let themselves in, and followed Jacob into the living room. He rubbed his good hand in his hair while exhaling deeply.

"Jake?" Joshua mutters.

Jacob exhales again, "I'm sorry. I've been acting strange for the last few days and I don't have a reason to explain why. I've- been feeling like I'm not myself and its scary." Jacob said.

Zack looks at his friend, "Hey man. It's cool."

Jacob shakes his head, "No it isn't. I've been behaving so- unlike me. I don't even feel like myself anymore."

Sean held onto his hand, "Jacob."

Jacob looks at her, "I don't know what to do."

Rory glances around, "Does it matter? As long as we're all together, we'll be here."

Ally nods, "Ditto."

Terra nods, "Yeah no man left behind."

Jacob looks at them, "You all feel that way?"

They all nod with smiles on their faces, everyone besides Joshua. Jacob noticed his brother's frown and sadden eyes since they entered the home. Jacob looks down and exhales, he knew he messed up. He messed up with his brother badly, and he wanted to fix things.

"Joshy, I wronged you the most. I'm sorry, little bro." Jacob says.

Joshua looks up, "It's fine." He says.

Jacob shakes his head, "You're my brother and- all those things I said to you I shouldn't have said or even thought. I'm so sorry, Josh." Jacob said.

Joshua turns to face his brother, "But you said those things."

Jacob nods, "I know."

Joshua sighs, "I guess I shouldn't have been so obsessed with trying to be a rangers. I should've backed off." Joshua said.

Jacob grins, "Truce?"

Joshua nods, "Totally bro."

The two Young brothers stand and embrace each other.

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

"So Jay, what do you think?" Zane asked.

Jayden placed his gloves on his hands. The two were standing in the middle of the street in front of the Young home, Jayden turned to face his former student as he clicked the buttons on the gloves back on. Zane placed his hands in his jeans pockets awaiting what his old mentor has to say.

"Well there are some dark energy around but its lighten." Jayden said.

"Come again?" Zane asks.

Jayden looks at his Red Ranger, "What I am saying is- the dark energy was here but its gone." He says.

"How? How is that possible?" Zane asks.

Jayden shrugs, "It could be anything."

"Could you be wrong?" Zane asks.

Jayden shakes his head, "No. There was something dark here. Something evil."

Zane nods, "Could it be one of my rangers?"

Jayden turns to face Zane fully, "Honestly?"

Zane nods, "Honestly." He says.

Jayden sighs, "Possibly."

Zane swears under his breathe, "Then what do we do?"

Jayden looks from the house to Zane, "Trace the source and remove it."

"You can do it?" Zane asks.

Jayden shrugs, "Sorta."

Zane sighs, "Fine. You're the only person who knows about this kind of stuff and I do trust you."

Jayden nods, "Thanks."

"So- when do you begin?" Zane asks.

Jayden glances, "First we watch. Then we go from there." Jayden said.

Jayden turned away from the house and began to walk toward a 1967 chevy impala, Zane kicked some rocks under his feet and turned to follow Jayden. Jayden got into the driver seat and Zane got into the passenger seat. Jayden start the car and pulled out of the area without anyone noticing, Zane had one last glance at the house before turning to the front.

"Jay," Zane starts, "I'm going to protect them."

Jayden smiles, "I know you will." He says.

Thirteenth chapter everyone! I brought Jayden back from my series! Let me clarify something, I may bring characters from other seasons of Power Rangers like how I had Tommy for a while but that might happen later. I brought Jayden since he is one of my favorites... no because of his ability and how it can tie with the whole "evil Young twin" thing.

NEXT TIME: "It's complete" "What?" "Joshua's morpher." "Welcome to the team."

In the next chapter: The New Ranger
