-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

The rangers were at the Young home after school. Jacob's and Joshua's parents were at work like usual, so it made this secret meeting pretty much a secret. Joshua came back into the living room with drinks for the others, tossing one to Nathaniel on the couch next to Roxanne and Zack. Jacob stood against the wall, the Verde sisters sat on the same sofa chair, Rory was sitting on the end of the sofa chair, and Terra was standing nearby the couch the three rangers were sitting on.

"So what's the plan?" Terra asks.

"Well for one this rescue mission might get dangerous, and I don't want anyone to come if they don't feel comfortable. So if you don't want to come that's alright." Zack said.

Rory looks around and smirks, "Mate, we're not going anywhere."

Sean nods, "Yeah if you're going so are we." She says.

Zack nods, "Alright."

Roxanne looks at her boyfriend, "So how do we even get inside?"

Jacob glances to Terra, "Terra will have to guide someone inside with her."

"What?" Zack asks.

Terra crosses her arms on her chest, "I can handle it."

Zack nods, "Okay. Fine, Terra and myself can enter if you guys are able to distract Ruko and anyone else." Zack said.

Joshua grins, "Distracting is our middle name."

Jacob rolls his eyes, "Shut it Josh."

Ally then turns to Zack, "What about Zane? Or Anya?"

Nathaniel nods agreeing with Ally, "Are we gonna tell them?"

Zack shakes his head, "No. I am tried of feeling like I need to relay on them, its time I take a stand as a Red Ranger and take charge." Zack said.

Terra smirks, "That'll be hard to believe." She says.

"So are you guys ready?" Zack asks.

Roxanne looks at her boyfriend, "We were born ready."

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Outside the rocky quarry where Zack had his brawl with Ruko, all seven of the rangers minus Zack and Terra were suited up and waiting for someone to charge. Waiting was growing to be annoying so, Jacob opened fired at a large rock. Everyone turned to him in utter shock, that was until Rageir and Ruko appeared before them. The rangers took off into a quick sprint in their direction, leaving the monsters distracted while the Yellow and Red Ranger sneak into the hideout.

Terra and Zack entered in quietly, Terra was leading with Zack closely behind. As they were getting closer to the corner before entering down a long and narrow hallway, they hear footsteps and voices. Terra pulled Zack back, glancing around to find a place to quickly hide. Zack manage to find what looks to be a ceiling vent, he lifted Terra up on his shoulders and she did climb up. Once up, Terra grabbed the hands of her leader and helped pull him up. Once Zack was up, he covered the vent so whoever was walking in their direction won't notice them.

"Apparently the rangers are here," The voice was CiCi.

The two rangers heard chuckling, "Very well. Go aid Ruko." This voice was cruel and just plain evil.

"But master?" CiCi spoke.

The evil voice snapped, "Do not question my orders!"

"Very well, master." CiCi said.

Zack and Terra hear the footsteps get further away. Terra and Zack leaned back against the vent walls and glanced at each other. Terra shrugs her shoulders and gave Zack a look.

"Looks like we'll be traveling through the vents." Terra says.

Zack nods, "Seems smart. We can't be spotted." Zack said.

Terra smirks, "I know alpha lion." She says.

Terra led Zack as they crawled through the vents, they were crawling what seemed to be hours but it had only been a few minutes. Terra stopped when she looked below and saw a familiar cell. She turned her head to Zack, he looked at her a bit confused but also worried. She crawled in front of it and then turned around to face Zack.

"I think this is it," Terra said, "You ready?"

Zack nods, "I'll go down. You stay here and help me get my dad out." Zack says.

Terra nods.

Zack lifted the vent cover, and leaned his head forward. He spots a man curled up in a ball in the corner of the room. He had a smile, it was his dad. He pulled his head back up to nod at Terra, she had a faint smile and then watched the ranger jump down. This jump caused a small noise, which got the prisoner to turn his head and body to face the person whom entered his cell. Lucas Burrows sat in awe, his son was standing in front of him.

"Hi dad," Zack said, "I'm here to bust you out."

Lucas looked at his son in disbelief, "You came?"

Terra poked her head out from the vent, "Not alone Mr. Burrows. Nice to see you again." She says.

Lucas nods, "Its good to see you're alright Terra."

Zack helped his dad up, "Come on dad. We gotta get you out of here." Zack said.

Lucas groans as he stood, "Thank you."

Terra held her hands out as Lucas was lifted up by his son, Lucas was lifted into the vent and then Zack jumped up and grasp a hold of Terra's hands to help him into the vent. Zack led the group through the vents, however when they were halfway away from the cell they hear what sounds to be an alarm going off. Lucas froze, Zack and Terra stopped and glanced at the older man.

"Dad?" Zack asks.

"Mr. Burrows?" Terra spoke.

"We cannot escape the way you came in. We need to escape another way." Lucas said.

Terra frowns, "Care to share with the rest of the class?"

Zack glanced at his teammate, "Terra."

"Sorry, I know bad time." Terra says.

Lucas motions to the other tunnel in the vents, "This way. This vent leads directly pass the less walked areas in the hideout. We can crawl through the vents unnoticed." Lucas said.

"You sure?" Zack asks.

"Yeah last time we went your way, you got captured again." Terra said.

Lucas grins, "Rookie mistake."

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Blast of explosions and sparks filled the rock quarry. Ragier being thrown back and being destroyed.

"Had enough rangers!" Ruko spatted.

"Never!" Jacob yelled.

Roxanne swung her giant fan at Ruko, only for CiCi to appear and swing her fans to counter act the Orange Rangers weapon. Roxanne was grown back by the gust of wind from the giant panda but was caught by the Purple Ranger. Joshua held onto Roxanne until she got up, both rookie rangers stood back to back before returning to battle.

"What are you doing here?" Ruko demanded at CiCi.

"The master wanted me here." CiCi said.

Sean slugged the giant panda with her gauntlets on the side of her face, sending CiCi flying into a wall. Jacob blasted the remaining Ragier with his blaster, which caused a loud and powerful explosion. Rory and Nathaniel stood back to back as they slashed at the slightly destroyed Ragier. While the Pink Ranger was firing her arrows at Ruko, who was trying to deflect them with his blade.

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Lucas led the way through the vents, however he stopped which got the two rangers to stop behind him. In front of the three is a dip in the vents, which meant they had to ride it out. Lucas turned back to the two teenagers.

"We have to go down this way, and then we should be outside." Lucas said.

"I should go first." Zack said.

Terra groans, "Oh come on. Don't be such a hero, listen if the situation gets sticky we got our morphers." She says.

Zack nods, "Fine."

Lucas dives down, then Terra, and lastly Zack. The three were sent down the shoot at such speed. Lucas hit the end and then was thrown outside by the force of the two rangers. Lucas was on the ground with Terra and Zack on top of him, the two quickly got off of Lucas and helped him up.

"We did it," Zack says smiling.

Lucas nods, "Yes you did." Lucas said placing his hand on his son's shoulder.

This father son moment was cut short from an explosion nearby. The three of them ran up a hill to find the rangers brawling against the monsters below. Zack glanced at Terra and she formed a devilish grin, the two pulled out their morphers and morphed. They held their weapons and jumped into battle. Nathaniel jumped back and then heard the sound of his leader and teammate coming over.

Zack slashed at CiCi, and then his blade made contact with Ruko's blade. Terra leaped in the air and stood behind CiCi with her knife by the panda's neck. Ruko looked a bit shocked and then noticed Lucas standing as free as he could. Ruko was a bit tense from this and glanced at his partner in crime. CiCi couldn't move much due to the little ranger holding her still. Ruko turned his head back to the Red Ranger with a smirk.

"Looks like you were able to save that worthless humanoid." Ruko says.

Zack grins under his helmet, "Yeah I did."

Ruko kicked Zack back and went to charge at Lucas, only to find a laser blast hitting him on the arm. Zack glanced at Jacob, who wasn't aiming his blaster at the rat monster. Instead standing behind Lucas was Anya and Zane, both in their civilian clothes. Anya held a blaster in her hands and had a glare across her face. Lucas turns to see his baby sister pointing the blaster at the enemy before them. Zane had a fire ball lit in his hands, both adults before them had the most serious look on their faces.

"Dr. Burrows," Ruko says, "Playing with your toys are we?"

Zane threw his fire ball at Ruko, the rat monster hissed in pain. Ruko stumbled back and then looked up at the Red Element Ranger, a glare across his face.

"And you, aren't you in the wrong town?" Ruko asks.

Zack stood up and pointed his sword at Ruko's neck, "I am giving you this moment to run. I am sparing yourself and CiCi, now go before I change my mind." Zack says.

Ruko watches as Terra releases CiCi, the panda walks over to Ruko. The two monsters stare at the rangers before they vanished. After that moment, all the rangers powered down and ran in the direction of Zack and Terra. Roxanne jumped into Zack's arms, she kissed him on the lips as he spun her around. Nathaniel high fived Rory before he patted his leader's shoulder. Sean kissed her boyfriend on the cheek before messing with Terra's hair. Ally hugged Terra tightly before Joshua hugged the little tiger. As the rangers were all happy and cheerful, the three adults walked over.

"Zack," Zack turned to see Zane standing in front of him.

"Zane," Zack said frowning.

"What was this?" Zane asks.

"This was my leadership. Its a bit rocky, but its mine. I did this, I planned this with my team. Without you. I didn't need your help, didn't need you to recuse us. I can lead on my own, I can be a Red Ranger without needing you there to babysit me." Zack said.

Anya gasped slightly at her nephew speaking suddenly so mature, but she was proud because she formed a smile on her face. Lucas smiled as well, he couldn't feel more proud of his son. The rangers were standing behind Zack, having their leader's back. Zane just stood there and nodded for a few moments before making eye contact with Zack again.

"So are you saying you don't need me anymore?" Zane asks.

"As a mentor no, but as a leader yes. I- we still need you to teach us, but we are all ready to do this alone. If we need help, we'll come to ask for advice or guidance but until then we think we all can handle this. It's our duty to protect this city, to protect the world from the darkness." Zack said.

Zane chuckled slightly.

Zack frowns, "What's so funny?"

Zane looks at Zack, "You. You've changed Zack, and for the good. You aren't the easily judgmental seventeen year old out to look cool, out to be a superhero. You are willing to lead and protect others besides your team. You've clearly have proved me wrong, and I am proud of that." Zane said.

Zack smiles faintly, "Thanks, Zane."

Zane messes with Zack's hair, "Come on. Let's get out of here."

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

The rangers were at HQ, enjoying a sort of party or more so celebration after their victory and saving Lucas from being held in his cell. Anya was currently with her brother, looking over him in the med bay much to Lucas' dismay. All the new father wanted to do was be with his son and see him with his friends. The rangers had some music playing off Nathaniel's Iphone while they were dancing around on the training mats. Zane stood there laughing slightly watching his students dance.

Rory and Ally were dancing all silly while she held onto his hands while they were mostly just laughing. Sean and Jacob were holding each other's hands while they were dancing more fun like, more less activate than Ally and Rory. Zack and Roxanne were dancing more close than anything. Nathaniel held his hand out to Terra and dragged her over to Joshua, where the two dudes danced with the young ranger, making her smile and laugh.

Lucas and Anya stepped out of med bay and watched the rangers, "They are happy." Anya says.

Zane nods, "As they should be."

Lucas smiles, "Thank you, Zane. For not only looking after my son, but the others." Lucas says.

Zane glanced at Lucas, "You're welcome Lucas."

Anya stepped closer to Zane, "So what now for you?"

Zane glanced at her, "What do you mean?"

Anya looks forward at the rangers, "You promised to help train the rangers after Tommy left and also help me find my brother. Well Lucas is back and the rangers are basically trained, are you going to stay in Norland or return to Meadowedge?" Anya asks.

Zane shrugs, "I could return back home and go back to college or even go and help Rena with Tim's team." Zane said.

Lucas placed a hand on Zane's shoulder, "You don't have to decide yet. It's a party, it's time to have fun."

Anya rolls her eyes, "Whatever."

Lucas grabs Anya's hand, "Come on little sis. Let's see your dance moves."

As Lucas was dragging Anya over to the others, the rangers ran over and grabbed Zane. All of them shoving their mentor over to the mats, as the music played they all danced. Differently and fun, they were enjoying themselves. They had earned it, a victory and the return of not only a friend and a brother but a father. Things were beginning to look brighter on the good guys side.

Chapter thirty-four! Sorry this took so long! I am in between work and actually motivating myself to do this chapter, I don't know why but for a while I didn't want to write the chapter. Maybe I was suffering from writers block and I didn't know it. Anyways here is the recuse chapter! I hope you all like it!

A/N: I am planning on doing a Awaken The Beast/Jurassic Squad clash. Not now but I'd like to know what you guys think. The first part will be written on Awaken The Beast story and the second part will be written and posted on Jurassic Squad. I haven't confirmed if I will so you guys are the biggest discussion makers here.

Also be patient for more content, with my chapter I am balancing work and trying to have a normal life. So please don't ask for chapters when I haven't posted a new chapter. I will likely post a chapter once a week, if I get lucky maybe twice a week.

NEXT TIME: "Are you serious?" "Dude, he'll kill you before you get the chance to speak!" "Guys, shut up! I know what I am doing!" "Nice knowing you, bro."

In the next chapter: I Gotta Date
