-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

At HQ the rangers were doing there usual training. Zane was monitoring it while he stood next to Anya, who was sitting in front of the monitors keeping in eye out for any monster attacks. Zane glanced around at each ranger, Joshua was able to catch up on training to be able to fit in with the other rangers. Zane had a small smile on his face, he was happy everyone was accepting of Joshua. Zane glanced to Jacob, he frowned. There was something seriously on his mind, whether Jacob wanted to talk about it or not. Zane shakes his head and turns to Anya.

Below where the rangers were training, Zack motioned for a quick break. So the rangers stopped training to sit down and get a drink of water. Sean of course, sat next to her boyfriend. The two are never apart. Rory and Ally sat by each other, the two are practically dating even though neither of them have confessed anything. Nathaniel and Joshua sat next to each other, since the two have known each other for a while but are getting closer as friends. Terra sat down next to Ally, when she notice Zack walking up to his aunt and Zane.

"Hey," Zane said turning his attention to the Red Ranger.

Zack nods as a way to reply to Zane.

"Tired?" Anya asked without turning to face her nephew.

Zack looks at Anya, "When was the last time you got sleep?"

Anya now looked at him, "I'm fine Zack." She declares.

Zack shakes his head, "You should get some rest." He says.

Anya shakes her head, "I have to look." Anya said.

"And you will, after you get some sleep." Zack parented.

Anya sighs and stands, "Zane."

Zane nods, "I can call in a friend that's visiting. You take some time to yourself." Zane said.

Anya nods, "Thanks." She said.

With that Anya exit the cave. Zack turned his attention to Zane, he was a Red Ranger prior to himself but Zane had plenty of secrets. Plenty of friends from different places, it made Zack wonder who was coming to their aid for a while when Anya is out resting. Zack then notice Zane glance at him.

"What?" Zane asks.

"So who is coming in?" Zack asks curiously.

"You'll have to find out after school." Zane grins.

Zack nods, "Alright whatever."

Zack heads down to his team and informs them about Anya heading out, and then about how a friend of Zane's will come in to help them out for a while. The rangers nodded and headed to their locker rooms to change for school.

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Zane was standing in front of a book store, he checked his phone for the time and then glanced around. He noticed a taxi pull up. He had a grin on his face. The taxi parked and the person in the backseat paid the taxi man. Zane opened the back door and helped his friend out, stepping out was a familiar face. Looking at Zane was a seventeen year old girl with long black hair with bangs across her forehead and brown eyes. She was wearing a black and white stripe long sleeve shirt, black skinny jeans, and black vans. She handed Zane her small bag and she carried her backpack.

"It's good to see you again." He says.

She rolls her eyes, "You are so lucky I am here for a school event." She said.

"Well thanks for answering my call." Zane said.

She and Zane began to walk, "But you don't seem to pick up these days." She says looking at him.

Zane grins while shaking his head, "Kinda busy over here." He said.

She nods, "Oh right. I completely forgot that you were in Meadowedge the last couple of years, and you didn't call then? Why was that, oh right you were in college." She said.

He hears her giggle, "Oh shut up." He said.

"Admit it, you only need my help because I am a wiz on a computer these days." She said.

"Don't get full of yourself." Zane said.

She stops, "I'll go straight to my hotel and bail your team if you won't admit it." She said.

"Come on," Zane said, "You gotta be childish?"

She nods, "I am a senior in high school. I've had to put up with some annoying people, I need this." She said.

"Fine, we need your help Zara." Zane said.

Zara smiles, "Oh deary you didn't have to sound desperate."

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Sean held onto her boyfriend's hand, "You okay babe?" She asks.

Jacob adjusts his backpack strap, "Yeah. Why?"

Sean shrugs, "I'm just- worried." She said.

Jacob smiles and kisses her on the cheek, "Don't be."

The two head off to study hall. Zack was sitting at a table with Joshua, while the others were shattered around. Zack noticed Joshua glancing upward at his twin brother with a worry expression. Zack tapped Joshua with his pencil to gain his attention, when Joshua noticed his friend was watching him he turned around.

"What?" Joshua asks.

"Everything okay?" Zack asked as he pointed toward the couple.

Joshua nods, "Yeah."

"Then why are you so worried?" Zack asks.

Joshua looked confused, "Aren't you?"

"What do you mean?" Zack asks.

Joshua sighs, "You're suppose to be our best friend and you haven't noticed." Joshua muttered to himself.

"What?" Zack asks.

Joshua looks at him, "Haven't you noticed the change in Jacob's behavior?"

Zack nods, "Yeah that happens."

Joshua shakes his head, "Not to Jake. Something isn't right." Joshua said.

Zack sighs, "You are over thinking something that isn't there."

Joshua turns his head to his friend, "Am I?"

Joshua picked up his stuff and walked over to Rory and Nathaniel's table, leaving the Red Ranger alone. Zack was flicking his pencil off the table and glanced up at Jacob, he was a bit off. He has been that way for weeks and yet Zack didn't bother on asking if something was wrong. Has he been too focused on finding his father that he's been ignoring his friends?

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Zara was amazed with the cave, "Jay must be jealous with this place."

Zane chuckles, "Kinda. I mean- its impressive." He said.

Zara walks to the monitors, "Totally."

"How's school?" Zane asks.

Zara glances at her former Red Ranger, "Good. I've been accepted to an IT college, Stanford, Yale, and Princeton."

"Wow, you're a genius." Zane said.

Zara giggles as she sits into Anya's usual seat, "Well it kinda happens with you spend a lot of time with Jay. All he talks about is school and learning so he managed to catch me up in the basics that I missed out on." Zara said.

Zane nods, "That's good."

Zara nods and looks at the monitors.

"So how is Saddie?" Zane asks.

Zara looks at her friend, "She's fine. She is worried about you, you know."

Zane nods, "After what happened with dad- I should be there right now." He says.

Zara sighs, "She and your mom were happy you showed up for the funeral. I know your "job" takes a lot of time." Zara said.

Zane leans against the wall, "I know."

Zara looks at him and holds his hand, "No one expects you to pick yourself up from all that has happened in the last four years. Zane, stuff happens and we just move past it." Zara said.

Zane shrugs, "I guess I am on a spirit journey like Jay was on."

Zara turns back to the monitors, "Well tell me when you find what you're looking for."

Zane nods, "I will."

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

The rangers were walking home when suddenly a crowd of Rageir appeared. The rangers fought in their civilian appearance, hoping that was just it. Instead, Zack was hit from the behind from a large snake like beast. This snake was purple and green, with sharp fangs, and red eyes.

"Zack-!" Terra shouts.

Nathaniel knelt down, "You okay bud?"

Zack nods, "Yeah. Let's morph, guys."

Everyone nod, "Awaken The Beast! Power Rangers!"

Zack ran in to the snake monster while the other rangers were dealing with the Rageir, like usual.

"Who are you?" Zack declared.

"My name is Viper, and I serve my master whom will destroy you." Viper said.

Zack glares, "Not if I can stop it."

Zack ran in with his sword going in for the kill, but Viper dug himself underground. Zack was a bit confused, he gazed around but Viper was no where to be seen. The snake popped out behind Zack, and went to bite Zack. However, he was stopped by the Gold Ranger. Sean had punched Viper in the face.

"Sean," Zack says.

"You okay?" Sean asks.

Suddenly Viper goes to charge directly at Sean, but a bolt of lightning hits the snake from behind. Standing behind Viper was an unmorphed, Zane and Zara. Zane held a ball of fire in his hands and fired at the Rageir and Zara pointed her finger directly at the Rageir and the bolt of lightning went at the chests of the beasts.

"Who- is that?" Ally asks.

"Apparently Zane's friend." Rory says.

"Elements Among Us! Legendary Element Fusion!" Zane shouts.

"Gold Element Power!" Zara shouts.

The two veteran rangers came into the battlefield to help out the other rangers. Sean stood next to Zack, the two were prepared for Viper. Viper was being sneaky as all can be, he came to charge at the two rangers with his fangs. His attack was directing toward the Gold Ranger, and he always hit Sean until Jacob ran over and tackled her down. Zack stood there blindly.

"Zack- what the heck!" Jacob shouted.

Zack shook out of it, "Sorry."

Jacob shook off his feeling and held his blaster and fired at Viper. Viper did a good job dodging them until one hit near his eye. Viper hissed a powerful hiss and whipped his tail in their direction, hitting the three rangers attacking him. Jacob managed to hold onto Sean so she did not have a painful fall. Zack struggled to get up only to find a snake head near his face, terrified about what was about to happen he noticed the Viper wasn't getting any closer.

"What- the?" Viper spins his head around.

Viper turns to see knives in his tail and stuck into the ground, his tail bleeding he was in pain. Viper hissed once more and then his body violently began to shake in order to get free. However, the Element Gold Ranger took a step forward holding her lightning blade. She cocked her head at the snake beast then she slashed at the beast. The attack defeated Viper, which was a mini explosion.

Zara powered down, "Man it feels good to get into action again."

Nathaniel stands up and powers down, "Why hello there. I am Nathaniel Winchester, I- I happen to be the White Beast Ranger- but you might have kinda known that." Nathaniel was flustered.

Zara glanced at him, "Why are you stuttering? You got a problem?"

The rest of the powered down as well and gathered around Zane and Zara.

Zane chuckles, "Guys this is Zara Wellham. She was the Gold Ranger with me and my team." Zane said.

"But she doesn't look old like you?" Ally asks.

Zara sighs, "I'm your age dorks. I was thirteen when I was a rangers."

Terra smiles, "An underdog."

Zara snaps her fingers and points at Terra, "She gets it."

Zane points at each of them, "This is the team. Zack, Red. Jacob, Blue. Joshua, Purple. Sean, Gold. Rory, Black. Ally, Pink. Terra, Yellow. And well you kinda met Nathaniel already." Zane said.

Zara nods, "They aren't too bad."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Joshua asks.

"It means I am gonna help get you all as great as me, but that might take a while." Zara said.

Zara and Zane had began to head back to HQ, after giving the rangers the rest of the day off. The rangers began to leave but Zack decided to comfort Jacob on what was bothering him. Jacob was picking up his backpack with Sean next to him when Zack tapped his shoulder to get his attention.

"Hey man," Zack said.

Jacob nods, "Hi."

"Everything cool?" Zack asks.

"Why wouldn't it?" Jacob asks.

"We- I've noticed your behavior change." Zack said.

Joshua stopped in his track, he was shocked that Zack was bringing it up now. Terra stopped before she skated away. Nathaniel, Rory, and Ally exchanged looks before watching the Red and Blue Ranger just stare each other down. Sean nudged Jacob in order to get him to say something. Jacob looked at her and then to Zack.

"So," Jacob said.

"So?" Zack repeats.

"Yeah 'so'." Jacob says.

"Jake, you've been acting weird lately." Zack said.

Jacob rubbed his hands through his hair, "I've had it!" He shouted.

This was a shock. Jacob rarely snapped, and rarely yelled. Joshua actually jumped slightly when his brother screamed. Sean took a step back in shock. Jacob looks Zack dead in the eye, it was as if it was only them and no one else.

"What's going on with you?" Zack asks.

"You, Zack!" Jacob screamed.

Sean steps in, "Whoa calm down!" She says.

Jacob shakes his head, "I'm sick of this!" He says.

Joshua took a step forward, "Jake?"

Jacob turns to his friend, "I am done pretending I am fine."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Terra asks.

Jacob glances at his girlfriend and then his team, "I've been talking with Ruko."

"What!" Nathaniel shouts.

"Jacob?" Rory spoke.

"No way!" Ally yells.

Sean reaches her hand to her boyfriend, "Jacob- why didn't you tell us?"

Jacob looks at her and then to Zack, "Because I didn't want to admit it."

"Admit what?" Zack asks.

Jacob forms a smirk, "I'm not one of you." He grabs his morpher and drops it.

"Jake-?" Joshua spoke.

Jacob lifts his hands up and starts to walk backwards, "I'm out."

With that said, Jacob began to walk. Leaving his friends in the dust, the others exchanged looks in utter confusion. Jacob just kept walking, whether he did this to join Ruko or not that rangers haven't a clue.

Chapter nineteen! I am sorry it took so long because I had high school graduation and also a house full of family, it was TOO crazy. But here it is, with a "sorta" cliff hanger on where Jacob will be heading.

NEXT TIME: "You're not evil." "How do you know?" "You're the kindness person in the world." "What if that's a lie?"
