Disclaimer: I don't own power rangers but I do own this plot this goes for every chapter

Casey has been here for six months and he hasn't made a friend yet. He really missed RJ. He missed making pizzas training and simply talking to him. But they both agreed that if RJ was Casey's master they would pretend to not know each other his friends won't know his past. His past was awful with his real dad

Flashback

Casey was walking home when he got grabbed by the ear hard. His dad was drinking alcohol and smelled awful. Jack Rhodes just loves beating his son up. This time he hit Casey with a belt multiple times.

"Stop please stop," gasped Casey.

"You never obey me so until you do I won't stop," yelled Jack Rhodes. His mom comes out to try and protect her son but whenever she does she gets hit in the process.

End of flashback

He tried to get that out of his head but the only person to help him was RJ but RJ wasn't here to comfort him so he did the next best thing. He did the tiger technique. Master Mao told him that if he Casey couldbring out the tiger he would teach Casey the immediate level. Casey was at the beginners level.

One week later

"I need only three finalists begin."

Lily faced her opponent and did her cheetah style and won. Theo won and Jarrod won with his lion style.

"Bring me a hot towel," Jarrod said smugly after he won. He wasn't very nice. Casey saw that Jarrod was causing trouble. He couldn't let someone get bullied so he went over there and grabbed a hot towel.

"Here you go," said Casey. Jarrod turned around. "Look I don't want any trouble."

"Well to bad," Jarrod pushed Casey to the ground. Casey didn't want to get bullied by Jarrod so he faced him and Jarrod said,

"What gonna cry?"

Casey didn't cry but something unexpected happened. Casey let out a roar and Master Mao saw Casey's face turn into a tiger. The blow knocked Jarrod off his feet.

"I'm sorry I don't know how I did that, Casey tried to explain. Jarrod was going after him and Casey tried not to have another flashback. That's when Master Mao clapped his hands and Jarrod stopped and bowed.

"Casey, RJ will be your new master and I know you miss him but next time you see me I'll be a spirit," said Master Mao, I'll tell Lily and Theo to meet you at your room."

"Okay- wait what do you mean you'll be a spirit?" asked Casey.

"I just have a bad feeling something's going to go wrong," said Master Mao.

Casey went to his room and he will finally see RJ since six months ago. He was packing his clothes and he was nervous cause he knew why Master Mao wanted to have three people. They were going to be guardians of the earth from Dai Shi. How could he protect the world from Dai Shi when he couldn't stand up to his father. He hoped he could make friends with Lily and Theo. He heard a knock on his door and he answered the door

"Master Mao said that you know where this place is it's called JKP," said Theo, "plus he told us that you knew the owner, is that true."

"Yeah it's true," Casey said timidly, "follow me."

"A pizza parlor," said Theo, "you've got to be kidding."

"No I'm not," said Casey, "oh don't judge him okay."

They went in and saw alot of people in the restaurant. Then they heard a bang and a man come out.

"Intense, so much for my mount killa munjo gorilla pizza experiment, RJ said while taking the dough off his head, "Casey your back."

"How do you know Casey?" demanded Theo.

"It's not your business to know, but I believe you guys need to get something to eat, you guys must by hungry," said RJ. RJ was looking at Casey and Casey gave him a look that said 'they're not my friends yet'.

Casey didn't feel comfortable with Theo and Lily just yet but soon he would be. RJ called him and Casey went near him but before RJ got to speak to him all the people heard an explosion and a couple screams from outside.

"Come on let's go," said Theo. Casey and Lily followed Theo. They saw people running from these things that looks like warriors. The three of them fought but the warriors where tough to beat then one warrior turned into a praying Mantis. They had to beat that bug but they got defeated. That's when RJ came.

"As Casey said don't judge a book by its cover." RJ fought the warriors and won. When he faced off with the monster he channeled his animal spirit and blew off the monster by the feet and the monster landed in the Forrest.

"Your our master," Theo said amazed.

"Please call me RJ and you two are," said RJ.

"I'm Lily and this is Theo."

"Nice to meet you both," said RJ, "come follow me."

Casey went right to RJ and walked beside him. Theo and Lily were walking behind them. They were both confused about Casey's relationship towards RJ. All four of them got back to JKP and a girl said, in one breath

"Where were you I had to take the orders put the cash in the register-"

"Breathe Fran," said RJ, "Fran this is Casey, Lily, and Theo they'll be working here and this is Fran, she's here everyday."

"It's not like I have nothing to do, I do , I just love pizza and the toppings also I love spaghetti and the meatballs and the sauce-"

"Breathe Fran," said RJ, "I'll see you tomorrow."

Fran nodded her head and went out the door. RJ lead them to the upstairs and Lily was amazed by the space. Theo thought it needed a cleaning.

"Thanks for volunteering Theo," said RJ.

"Hey I didn't-"

"Mi casa es su casa," said RJ, "I just want to talk to Casey for a minute." He motioned Casey towards him.

"Are you okay?" asked RJ.

"I'm okay but I'm worried that they won't like me."

"Casey they will like you, you just got to show them your style and good natured attitude."

"Thanks RJ," said Case, "but what about my past."

"You don't have to tell them right away but when the time is right then you can tell them," stated RJ "remember that you couldn't fully trust me for two years."

Flashback

Casey still didn't trust RJ to touch him yet. But he made pizzas with RJ all the time. But today Casey was going to trust RJ today.

"I wonder what kind of pizza this place has?" asked a gruff voice. Casey instantly knew that voice it belonged to his abusive dad. Casey just froze from fear and RJ saw this and said to Casey,

"Go upstairs and distract yourself," said RJ, "I won't let him touch you. All you have to do is go pass him. I promise he won't ever touch you."

Casey went as fast as he could but when he got close to his abusive father he couldn't move. RJ realized Casey couldn't move anymore so RJ called out to him,

"Hey tiger catch." Casey turned around and caught a stuffed animal tirger and past his abusive father with out a second thought.

After Casey's dad was gone RJ went upstairs to see what Casey was doing.

"Hey tiger what're'ya doing?" asked RJ.

"Playing with my tiger," said Casey. Then Casey did something unexpected, he hugged RJ.

End of flashback

"After I knew you were there to protect me I told you everything that my dad did to me," said Casey. RJ nodded agreeing with him.

"Ok then you guys were out numbered but I do have something for you," said RJ, "these is your new clothes and something that can help you defeat the Rin-Shi." RJ handed out new outfits to them.

"New training gear and sunglasses?" asked Casey.

"Have you ever heard of the power rangers?" asked RJ.

"Yeah, who hasn't," said Casey.

"You be them," said RJ.

"No way I always wanted to be a-" Theo looked around and saw the looks that Lilly and Casey were giving him, "well if that what it takes."

They heard the alarms going off and started to go but the three of them noticed RJ wasn't coming with them.

"Aren't you coming RJ?" asked Theo.

"Oh no I have a pizza place to run." They ran to the battle and Casey saw that Lily and Theo morphed and started fighting.

"I know you can do it Casey just be confident," thought RJ. RJ was watching the fight and noticed that Casey wasn't morphed yet but then after a couple minutes he saw Casey morph.

Casey saw that Fran was in trouble and said,"Jungle beast spirit unleashed." He morphed into the red ranger and he saved Fran just in time. He fought the Mantis monster and was winning, but then the monster grew. They were in trouble, but then master Mao came and saved them from being squashed. Casey was surprised that Master Mao was here in spirit form. They were talking to Master Mao and asking questions and he said that they had a new master to teach them the growing technique.

"Guys I know a short cut follow me," said Casey. So they followed Casey and they were at jungle karma pizza without going through the restaurant. The three of them spoke at once at RJ and he couldn't understand them so he pointed at each of them.

"Your not ready for the growing technique yet so I can't teach you yet," said RJ.

"Why won't you teach us?" asked Casey.

"Cause first you have to Master your assigned weapons," said RJ. He gave Theo tongo weapons. Theo aced it. Same with Lily. "And last but not least Casey with the nunchucku," stated RJ.

Casey tried but he hit himself with the nunchucks. "Okay I have no idea how to use this thing."

"That's because it's trained by professional martial artists," Lily told Casey.

"Man just because Casey is a cub doesn't mean we have to get behind in our training," whined Theo.

"Hey I'm standing right here." Casey couldn't stand when people talked to him like Theo did.

"No offense," apologized Theo.

"Theo a team is like a stool," explained RJ, "what happens when one of the legs aren't equal." RJ kicked one of the legs of the stool. "That's right the stool breaks and you land on your butt. If one isn't ready than none of you are ready, Namaste.

Theo and Lily were watching Casey do the pizza dough perfectly. "Look at Casey, give him pizza dough he's a Pro but give him his weapon he's all thumbs." RJ was listening to Theo and walked over to him.

"Casey has been here when he was just eight years old and he is an expert on making pizza," said RJ.

"Theo you didn't start out that way someone had to teach you to use your weapons, to bad Casey doesn't have someone to teach him," said Lily. Theo thought about it and he silently agreed to train Casey how to use his weapon.

"The 12:32 lunch is about to-" the customers were coming full force and Theo grabbed Casey and said,

"Sorry RJ Casey and I have some training to do," saidTheo.

"But who's going to help me serve the customers?" asked RJ.

"Me," said Fran.

Casey and Theo were training and Theo was impressed with Casey. He was learning fast.

"Alright now look deep inside and channel your animal spirit."

"Calling to the spirit of the tiger." Casey did the moves and destroyed a rock that was in front of him.

"That was some serious strength for a cub," complimented Theo.

"Thanks and your a pretty good teacher," complimented Casey, "for a uptight eccentric neat freak."

"Hey there's nothing wrong with being neat." They both laughed.

"Friends," said Theo.

"Definitely," agreed Casey. They heard a beeping noise and they put there sunglasses on and heard RJ saying the monster was back.

"Lets go."

After the battle Casey felt weird but when they got to the restaurant Casey passed out and RJ caught him.

"What happened to Casey?" Lily asked frantically. "He's not used to having his tiger spirit out for long periods of time," answered RJ, "but he'll be fine, he just needs to practice so he can do it during battles."

"I'll teach him when he wakes up," promised Lily.

A/N: Well done with this chapter. Don't worry Lily and Theo will know about Casey's past. Plus the relationship between Casey and RJ. Don't worry Fran will be in the next chapter having a bigger part so don't worry. Please review and any suggestions will be appreciated.
