-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Jacob was hanging around his dad's current odd job, his dad was working on a mechanical job at an auto shop. His dad, Erick, usually doesn't spend much time with his sons because of him working so much so seeing at least one of his sons was kinda nice but he knew there was something wrong. Jacob was helping his dad out with changing the tires of this car a women brought in.

Erick has brown hair, short compared to his sons, and hazel eyes. He was wearing a grey jumpsuit with his name on it with the auto shop's name on it as well. Also both Erick and Jacob were covered with oil on their faces a little and more on their hands. Jacob was wearing an older shirt that he didn't care if it got dirty as well as the pants. Once the tires were changed, Erick nudged Jacob to follow him. Erick grabbed a towel to rub off the oil and tossed it to his son, Jacob caught it and was rubbing the oil off his face and hands only to cause it to make it a little worse.

"So son, what brings you here?" Erick asks as he was lighting a cigar.

Jacob looks at his dad, "Can't a son come and visit his dad?"

The two were standing outside the auto shop, "On a school day? You are lucky that I am covering for you."

Jacob shifted awkwardly, "I am just not feeling right."

Erick glanced down at his son, "Did you get into a fight with Josh?"

Jacob shakes his head, "No."

Erick nudges his son with his left hand, "Then what is it boy?"

Jacob looks at his dad, "I don't feel the same."

Erick chuckles, "Of course you don't feel the same. Boy, we all go through change in our lives but how we handle the changes proves what kind of person or in this case what kind of man you are." Erick said and exhaled the smoke.

Jacob looks at the ground, "How do you know if you made the right choice?"

Erick grins, "You just know it. You think I just knew it was meant to be marrying your mother without finishing high school? I felt like I was going to let her down, but I've been able to keep the house a float as well as raising you and your brother." Erick said.

Jacob gazed up at his dad, "Do you regret any of it?" He asks.

"I regret dropping out of school. I regret my depression. I regret the anger. I regret almost destroying the family. However, that is in the past and now I am trying to make up for that." Erick says.

Jacob nods in silence.

Erick placed his firm hand on his boy's shoulder, "You'll do better. I see a better path for you, a better life than your mother and I." Erick said.

Jacob looks at him, "How do you know?" He asks.

"I'm your father. I just know." Erick said smiling.

Sean walks out of Spanish to see Zack waiting for her, she usually would walk happily with her friend but instead kept marching onward. She was angry and had every right to be. Zack went to catch up with her, he even grabbed her arm which in return landed him a slap on his face. Rory, Ally, Nathaniel, Terra, and Joshua saw that happen as they were exiting their classes as well as other students.

"Sean," Zack muttered.

Sean shook her head, "I am not in the mood right now."

She jerks her arm away from him and heads off to P.E., Terra was the first one to reach Zack. Zack felt the Yellow Ranger place a hand on his shoulder, he glanced over to see a small smile on his face. Joshua placed his hands in his pocket and began to head to class without a single word. Nathaniel watched the twin leave, shaking his head and follows Joshua. Rory felt Ally grab her hand and pull him in the direction to their next class.

"Zack," Terra says.

Zack looks up, "Have I been so blinded?" Zack asks.

Terra placed a hand on his face, "No. It wasn't obvious to any of us." She said.

Zack shakes his head, "To Joshua it was."

Terra sighs, "He's Jacob's brother. Of course there will be some worry there." Terra said.

"Is this suppose to make me feel better?" Zack asks.

Terra shakes her head, "I guess not." She steps back.

Suddenly appearing was Terra's friend, Charlie. He walks over and nudges her to come with her to their next period. Terra nods with a smile and then glances at Zack one last time before heading off to her next class with Charlie.

Zara sighs, "He's confused."

Zane was pacing in the HQ, "What do you mean confused?" He asks.

Zara stands from Anya's usual seat, "The kid is scared."

Zane looks at her, "Jacob scared? That's a joke." He said.

Zara exhales deeply, "You don't get it." She said.

"Get what?" Zane asks.

Zara looks at her former Red Ranger, "How would you feel if suddenly someone comes into your life trying to convince you that you're something else? At first it means nothing, but then the self-doubt kicks in and the mind begins to scatter around. Things that usually makes sense don't." She said.

"Zara," Zane said.

Zara looks at him, "Take it from me. He's confused."

"So this is how you felt after leaving Vaatu." Zane said.

Zara nods, "Yeah. It was difficult, so maybe giving him some space and letting him think- might allow him to find some grip in his sanity." Zara said.

"And if it makes it worse?" Zane asks.

Zara crosses her arms on her chest, "Let's hope it doesn't get that bad."

Zane placed his fingers on the bridge of his nose, "But do you think the rangers can do it if Jacob turns on us?"

Zara sighs while shrugging, "I don't know. I mean- you did it with me."

Zane looks at her, "That's different. We didn't know you then."

Zara nods, "But Jay did. He was affected." Zara said.

Zane rubs his hand in his hair, "If they can't-?"

"Then we do it." Zara said calmly.

Zane sighs, "I'd hate to think about hurting one of them." He said.

Zara took a step forward, "If Jacob ends up threatening others and the world- he'd have to be stopped." Zara said.

Zane nods, "I know but still- I don't like it." He said.

Zara nods, "It comes with the job." She says.

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Jacob was walking the streets of Norland. He's been stuck in that town all his life. He's never left the town, unless his dad had a summer job in Meadowedge or Unity Lake. However, Jacob and his family remained in this small town. Jacob stopped in front of a store window, he saw his reflection.

'Is this my path? To be a ranger?' He thought.

He placed his hands in his pants pocket and continued to walk onward. He passed some people walking to work or getting off work. He glanced at an intersection to see school buses leaving schools, that means the gang should be out and heading to HQ. That schedule had become so normal for him that him skipping school and even training felt odd. A knot was in his stomach.

'Was being a ranger even my choice? All I did was help people when my school was attacked, how does that make me a ranger?' He thought.

He crossed at a red light among a small crowd of people going in the same direction. Jacob stopped and stared at the sky, the clear blue sky with little to no clouds. Jacob takes in the deep breathe and the exhales, he lowers his head and continues to walk in the direction he was going in. He stopped when he saw someone, someone who was waiting on him.

"Hey," Jacob says.

"Hi," It was Sean.

Jacob walked over, "My phone was shut off." He says.

"Spare me that lie." She said.

Jacob nods, "Okay I just turned it off." He said.

Sean just stares at her boyfriend, "What's going on in that head of yours?" She asks.

Jacob shrugs, "I don't know." He said.

Sean sighs, "And I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong."

Jacob walks a little pass her though she followed, "If I don't know then how can you help?"

Sean grabs his arm to stop him, "Well for starters it means I really care about you to stop you from doing something stupid."

Jacob looks puzzled, "How can it be stupid? What if its what I'm suppose to do?" He asks.

Sean looks a bit more upset than mad, "You're not evil."

Jacob didn't believe her, "How do you know?" He demands.

"You're the kindness person in the world." Sean said softly.

Jacob runs both hands through his hair, "What if that's a lie?"

Sean looks at her boyfriend with a sad look, "Who says if its a lie or not?" She asks.

Jacob looks at her, "I- don't know."

Sean sighs, "Jacob- you remember what you told me on our first date?" She asks.

Jacob just stares at her. She begins to sobs, which made Jacob look less confuse.

"You said, that no matter what happened with us or this team that you'd find a way to keep us sane. You said, you were happy to take on this chance to help others." Sean said.

She reached her hand out and slowly Jacob held onto it, "Yeah. I remember." He says softly.

Sean then hugs him tightly, she was sobbing into his chest as he held onto her tightly. He kisses the back of her head while his hand rubs her back for comfort. Jacob felt a single tear slide down his cheek, and then that wasn't it. He was crying just like Sean.

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

At HQ, the rangers were training. Like usual, however the others were silent and keeping to themselves. Zack was punching a punching bag extremely hard, from the monitors Zane just shook his head. Zara gazed at Zack a few times and exhaled but continued on with her job that she was told to do.

Terra was sparing with Ally. Ally and Terra were both letting out their anger and confusion. Nathaniel was sparing with Rory, the two were releasing some built up rage. Lastly, Joshua was like Zack. He was working on a punching bag. The team were upset and didn't even notice the fact that Sean wasn't even there.

Zane glanced at Zara, "How long until they return to normal?"

"How long did it take with our team?" Zara asks.

Zane just exhales.

Suddenly the rangers stopped working when they heard the door open. Zack was the first to stop, being the closest he noticed who had entered. It was Sean with Jacob. Sean had a faint smile and Jacob kept his eyes away from the others. He was feeling shame and a pain of awkwardness being around them.

Zack removes his boxing gloves, "What are you doing here?" He demanded.

Sean looks at him, "He is apart of this."

Zack looks away from Sean to Jacob, "You dropped out. You left us." Zack said.

Jacob looks up, "I- I don't expect you to forgive me. I just wanted to say sorry, and maybe- forget it." Jacob said and return his gaze to the floor.

Joshua takes off his boxing gloves, "What? You want back in?" Joshua asks.

Jacob looks at his brother, "It's fine. I understand, I abandon my team and our mission." Jacob said.

Nathaniel and Rory took a few steps forward, "But- you want back in?" Rory asks.

"Zack, he's a good guy." Nathaniel said.

Ally and Terra exchange looks and walk forward, Ally stepped next to Nathaniel and Rory as Terra stood next to Zack. Sean glanced at her friends and then to her boyfriend. Zack dropped his boxing gloves and took a step forward, Jacob looked up to meet the Red Ranger's gaze. Zack was not his usual friendly self. He was angry and upset.

Zack tosses Jacob his morpher, "Next time don't come back." Zack said and walked away.

Jacob nods, "Right."

Sean smiles softly and kisses him on the cheek, "Welcome back babe." She says.

Jacob nods, "Yeah."

Zane and Zara noticed the others welcoming Jacob back but Zack on the other hand was returning his fists to the punching bag very violently. Zane glanced at Zara, she looks at Zack and sighs. Zane was about to say something when he got a phone call, he looks at the caller ID and seemed
a bit shocked.

"Rena-?" Zane spoke.

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Running through the night in the city of Norland is just a mess, mostly when one is in a hurry. Zane was sprinting in the direction to his hotel. He had shoved people to get there faster, he heard people yell at him or even go far to throw somethings at him. Though the Element Ranger didn't seem to care. Zane almost tripped when reaching the hotel building, he sprinted to the elevators and nervously was pressing the up button at least five times.

The elevator door opened and Zane stepped in. He pressed the 5 button, and then the close door button. However a couple came in and pressed the 3 button. Zane was tapping his right foot impatiently as he watched the elevator lift slowly. The man with his wife glanced at Zane very confused and also oddly. The elevator door opened on the third floor, and the couple exited. Zane quickly hit the close door button and repeated to press the 5 button. When the elevator did shut he was now nervous instead of impatient. He watched the level change from the third to the fourth, and then
slowly from fourth to fifth. The door had opened.

Zane bolted out of the elevator, and nearly knocked down an elderly couple waiting for an elevator. Zane had to remember the number of his room, and nervously reached into his coat pocket for his room key. Once he grabbed it, he stopped at the door. It was opened and had one of those door
stoppers in order to make sure guest don't lock themselves out if they are going to get some ice or something. Zane took in a deep breathe and then slowly pushed the door open. He stepped in slowly and was finally in the room fully, he spots a bag that wasn't there before and then stepping out the
bathroom was a familiar face.

"Zane,"

"Rena," He says.

Rena smiled. She had smooth black hair that reached her mid back, but was kept in a braid, and her chocolate brown eyes. She was wearing a grey t-shirt with a v neck, a silver zip up jacket, blue jeans shorts, white tennis shoes, and her metal pendant that she's had for so long. Zane took a small step near her but stopped with a smile.

"Look at you." He says.

"Look at you." She smiles.

Zane smiles, "Not that I am happy you're here but why are you here?" He asks.

Rena touches his chest, "I- needed to see you. After what happened on the last mission- I needed to be with you." She said.

Zane holds onto her shoulders, "Rena what happened?" He asks.

Rena looks at her boyfriend, "Tim's friend Violet- um she- something happened." Rena said.

Zane kisses her on the lips for a second, "Hey its fine. We can talk about that later." He said.

Rena smiles, "I'm just happy to see you again." She said.

Zane smiles, "Me too." He leans down to kiss her again.

We've reached chapter twenty! I thought since I hadn't uploaded a chapter in a while that I'd be nice enough to upload another chapter to go along chapter nineteen. I had read TimmayIsAwesome's latest chapter to his series and thought it has been a long enough wait for Rena and since Rena had left in that latest chapter that she'd come here. Read his series, its really good!

I want some tension and well there still is, between Jacob and Zack. Its going to be a complicated friendship and within time, it'll be fixed. Also with Sean slapping Zack, he is going to over look that because Zack is only mad at Jacob and you'll find out why he can't just forgive Jacob.

NEXT TIME: "Is that who I think it is?" "You're right." "Who, Zane?" "General Dyme, we meet again."

In the next chapter: Return Of A Foe
