ARTIE WOKE up in confusion. He was laying on the couch in his house. He didn't remember coming down to the living room last night. Entering the living room was Brooke, though she looked different than he was use to seeing. His usual happy teenage sister was dressed like a goth. She had black clothes and heavy black eye makeup.

"Loser, time for school." Brooke said as she slugged her backpack on her shoulder.

Artie looked around, everything in the house looked the same. Heck even him, expect what was standing in front of him.

"Brooke? Why are you dressed like that?" Artie asks.

Brooke rolls her eyes, "Oh my god, you're acting worst than Jessica." 

Brooke walks out of the room.

"Jessica?" Artie spoke.

He stood out and looked at a photograph hanging on the wall, it was a family photo. In this photo had Ryan dressed in formal appeal, Brooke looking sort of nice though still had dark makeup, Jared seemed uncomfortable, there was Artie smiling at the camera, and then there was Artie's mom smiling as she stood close to Artie's dad.

"Mom?" Artie spoke.

"Yes, dear?" Spoke Jessica.

Artie turns to see his mom in his home. She was putting earrings on and smiling at her son.

"Um, nothing." Artie said.

Jessica nods, "Well you better head off you school. You don't want to be late." She says.

Artie nods and watches his mom walk toward the door, then Ryan came over to kiss Jessica on the lips before the two exited the house. Artie was lost for words but suddenly returned to his sudden thought when he felt something hard hit the back of his head, he grabbed a hold of his head and turned around. Standing there was Brooke holding his backpack.

"Come on, loser." She said.

"What about Jared?" Artie asks.

Brooke frowns, "He is probably already at school." She said.

Artie nods slowly, "Okay, squirt let's go."

Brooke puts in earphones and ignores her brother as they left the house.

WHEN ARTIE got to Clover Hill High, he noticed things looked the same. Artie was still kind of baffled with how the start of the was like. Also, he was confused as to why he was wearing a letterman's jacket.

He walked into the school and the students seemed to be the same. Suddenly a familiar voice got his attention.

"Artie!"

Artie turns to see Omar coming over.

To Artie, Omar looked exactly the same. He was dressed the same as he usually does. It made what he witnessed this morning feel a bit better. Although, he wasn't entirely sure what was going on.

 "Omar, hey." Artie said.

Omar goes to give Artie some secret handshake, only to notice that Artie didn't know this handshake. Omar seemed a bit puzzled by that but let it go.

"So how was your date with Mary?" Omar asks.

"Huh?" Artie asks.

Omar nudged his friend, "You know, you and Mary hooking up?"

Artie still seemed lost, "Dude, I have a girlfriend."

Omar began to laugh, "That was fast. You are the biggest man whore in this school so this girlfriend must go to another school." Omar said.

'Man whore?', Artie thought.

Artie shakes his head at Omar's comments.

"What's going on? Where is Jenny, Hunter, Gwen, KZ, and Jared?" He asks.

"Dude, did you hit your head this morning?" Omar seemed concerned.

KZ comes over and kisses Omar on the cheek.

"Morning babe," She turns to Artie, "Hey."

Artie waves, "You two?"

KZ also dressed like she usually does. Artie did notice that the girl was wearing a little bit of makeup, more than she usually does.

Omar nods, "Yes man, for a year now. Seriously, did you hit your head or something?"

KZ seemed worried, "You okay, Artie?"

Artie nods, "Yeah, sorry I must have had some weird dream that felt real." He said.

Omar brushed it off, "Oh well, we'll see you at lunch."

Artie watches as KZ and Omar kiss on the lips in the hallway. Artie couldn't help but have this sick feeling in his stomach. KZ and Omar held hands and began to walk down the hall. Artie scanned the hallway and found more familiar faces. 

Gwen was leaning against her locker looking almost the same, except she was wearing a cheerleading uniform. Artie noticed his girlfriend was flirting with his brother.

Compared to Gwen's over-the-top appearance and seemingly more present in the school, given she was a cheerleader, Jared looked the opposite. Sure Jared was always a loner, but here he seemed just as so maybe worse.

Artie walks over, "Hi."

Jared looks up. 

When Jared noticed it was Artie, Artie saw a confused look on his face. Jared looks away and just nods.

"Hey." His voice was barely heard.

Gwen rolls her eyes, "Hi."

Artie seemed confused, "Are you okay, Gwen?"

Gwen glares at him, "Oh now you know my name? You slut!"

Artie felt Gwen slap in on the face in the halls. This gained the attention of other students, they stopped what they were doing. Artie slowly reached his hand up to the cheek that Gwen had slapped. He could see the red in her face, she was beyond upset about something. 

Artie noticed Jared slowly touch her shoulder.

"Gwen," His voice was still quiet, "Let it go."

Gwen brushed Jared off, "Look, you can get with anyone in this damn school and you're a huge ass, but treating your brother like trash is just a dick move. If I catch you and your group hurting him or harassing us, I'll report you as some perv." She said.

Artie glanced at Jared, Jared saw Artie looking at him. Jared's gaze left his own brother's and then he hid behind Gwen. Artie was shocked by this behavior. Jared held onto Gwen's shoulders for support as he hid from his brother.

"Gwen-," Artie started.

Gwen shoves Artie back, "I mean it."

Gwen then turns to Jared, grabbing his hand to drag him away. Jared looked back at Artie for a second before he continued with Gwen.

Artie stood there in shock, "I- What the hell?"

---

ARTIE WAS walking down the hallway leading to the outside. Artie looked around and as he did, like the exterior of the school everything looked normal. The students talked among their friends. Violet was even with her deaf friends and laughing with them. Artie turned around to see a table waving him down. Omar was going crazy trying to get his attention.

Artie started to walk over, he then bumped into a shy mouse.

"Jen?" Artie spoke.

Jenny frowned, "O- O- Oh h- h - hi." She stuttered.

Artie frowns as well, "You're stuttering?"

Jenny looks at him, "Wh- Wh- What? I- I- I've alw- always st- stuttered." She stuttered.

Artie was lost for words, "But last time I talked to you, you spoke perfectly." He said.

Jenny shakes her head, "M- May- Maybe i- in a- a drea- dream." She stuttered out.

Jenny walked past him. He watched her walk. She walked to an empty table where Jared and Gwen sat. Gwen was holding onto Jared's arm, he seemed really uncomfortable about it but just let her do so. Artie watched as Jenny sits there with a small smile as Jenny began talking among Jared and Gwen.

"Even in some weird world, Jared and Jenny act as if they are siblings." He spoke.

Artie sits at his table. There Omar was being some kind of joker, he was grabbing some food and tossing it off his spoon. KZ was even laughing at the stupidity he was doing. Omar took a spoon of pears and tossed them at Hunter, Hunter stood up and turned to Artie's table. Omar was laughing the loudest.

"You did this, asshole?" Hunter stood up as he came over.

Hunter watched as Omar continued to laugh. Hunter poured his milk over top Omar's head. Hunter smirks at that, which in return Omar splashed his milk at Hunter. This lead to the entire student body into a food fight. 

Gwen was standing up on the table throwing food at other students, Jared was trying to get Gwen down whereas Jenny was attempting to hide. Omar was throwing them like crazy and KZ was even joining in.

"Alright!" A teacher shouts.

Artie turns and sees it as none other than Miss Moore. She had a very disappointed and annoyed look upon her face. 

"KZ, Omar, Artie," Miss Moore starts pointing out those with the most food covering their body, "Hunter, Gwen, Jared, and Jenny. Go to the principal's office."

Gwen stomps her foot.

"That's not fair-!" Gwen shouts.

Miss Moore shakes her head, "I don't care about being fair." She said, "Just go."

Jenny nudges Gwen.

"C- C- Come o- o- on." Jenny said. 

Gwen was motioned by Jenny to follow, and so the girls walked first. Jared followed behind. Hunter mutters some words as he follows next. KZ is walking alongside Omar, who is helping her get some food off.

"You too, Mr Scott." Miss Moore said looking at him.

Artie nods.

"Yeah," He said.

---

IN DETENTION, the teens sat in different spots. Hunter was beyond angry. He sat the furthest away. Jared was resting his head on his backpack, trying to avoid anyone. Jenny was just drawing to keep herself busy. Gwen was talking to a terrified Jared, which didn't seem to be a two sided conversation. It was very one sided. Omar and KZ were talking about their upcoming date, and Artie had it.

"Okay," He started, "Seriously what is going on?"

Jenny looks at him.

"It's called detention, American Eagle." Hunter spatted.

Artie remembered, 'When I first met Jared- he called me that.'  He thought.

Omar looked back at Artie, "Dude, you really have been acting weird today."

KZ nods, "You need to go to the nurse?" She asks.

Artie shakes his head, "No. No. I need to know what happened. What happened to the Power Rangers? What happened to our friendships?"

"Power Rangers?" Gwen spoke, "That's a TV show for kids."

"But we were Power Rangers." Artie said.

Jared's eyes met Artie, "We're not heroes." His voice stayed quiet.

Artie stands up on his desk, "Yes we are! Jared you're our leader, you have such a huge role that you're able to command your friends to battle. And you're not dating Gwen, you are dating KZ!" Artie yells.

Jared and KZ glanced at each other before turning away.

"Jenny you are a brave and strong girl! You aren't shy anymore and you're dating Hunter! You have cute nicknames and you two really get each other! Hunter, you aren't just some bully. You are a sweet and caring friend. You're loyal and there for us." Artie yells.

Jenny and Hunter looks at each other. Then they look away.

"KZ, you're the most sweet girl ever! You are there for everyone including Jared and Jenny! You are like a sister to me! Heck, you cared about my brother so much you broke up with him because you were afraid you had hurt him badly!" Artie shouts.

KZ looks at Jared once more, before parting her glance.

"Omar, you are a joker yes but- this? This isn't you. You love Violet and she loves you back. You love to be there for your friends! Not be a jerk and start food fights!" Artie yells.

Omar frowns as he looks at Artie.

"Gwen. You- You're my one true love. I know you had a rough life and we just make it work, but you being in love with Jared is never going to happen. We are made for each other!" Artie yells.

Gwen frowns and then says, "Why are you telling us this?"

Artie frowns, "Because I care about my friends."

He then started to loose his balance on the desk, and fell. His body hit the surface of the ground hard. This caused him to pass out, though before loosing consciousness he saw the bodies of his friends hovering above him looking down at him.

---

"ARTIE! ARTIE!"

Artie began to stir, "Huh?"

He slowly opened his eyes. Looking around he found himself in the Batcave, and his friends were hovering above him. Gwen quickly hugged her boyfriend upon him regaining consciousness. Artie held onto his girlfriend with such relief that she was his girlfriend and everything seemed to be back to normal. Jared noticed the confusion in his eyes.

"You okay?" Jared asks.

Artie looks at him, "Ye- Yeah? No, what happened?"

KZ stepped over, "You were hit by a monster. Since then you've been consciousness." She said.

"For how long?" Artie asks.

Jenny shrugs, "A couple of hours or so." She said.

"Oh," Artie said and then it hit him, "Oh!"

Artie had a big smile on his face. Jenny looks at her cousin with a confused look, she glanced at Hunter. Hunter shrugs his shoulders at his girlfriend.

Omar seemed confused, "Why are you smiling? We were worried." He said.

Artie rubs the back of his head, "It's just- I had some weird dream and you all were there."

Hunter rolls his eyes, "Like the Wizard of Oz?" He spoke.

All eyes at him.

"What? That's my mom's favorite movie!" Hunter claimed.

As the teens shared a laugh, suddenly Jared heard his phone ringing. He reached for it and saw the caller. It was Quincy.

"Hello," Jared spoke.

Everyone was looking at him. They were wondering what was going on.

"Jared, its Quincy have you seen what's going on outside."  Quincy spoke.

Jared shakes his head, "No why what's going on."

"There are Mutezoids attacking Warrior Heights,, Reefside, and Clover Hill."  Quincy said.

"What? Have you got in touch with Corey?" Jared asks.

Jared heard a sigh, "Tried on both to his cell and morpher, something is blocking the communication with him and his teammates."  Quincy said.

"Damn it, who is fighting back in Reefside?" Jared asks.

"Dr. Oliver, Kira, Mr. James, and Coach McKnight. Kira is calling for some reinforcements from the other veteran rangers."  Quincy informed.

"Okay, call me the second something changes." Jared said.

"Got it."  Quincy said.

Phone call ends. It left the entire room staring at Jared. Jared didn't even notice it until his phone returned to his pocket. At this point, the mentors stepped over with concern written all over their faces.

"Jared what's going on?" Miss Moore asks.

Jared looks at her, "We are going to be called to battle very soon." He said.

The alarm is going off. The rangers, Adam, and Tia run over to the monitors at Zara's desk. Zara had pulled it up so that everyone can see what is going on.

Omar looked shocked, "Is that what I think that is?" He asks.

Jared nods, "Yeah. Quincy called and apparently Mutezoids are attacking Clover Hill, Warrior Heights, and Reefside." He said trying to sound calm.

Hunter looks at Jared, "What, where is Corey and his teammates? They should at least know about it." Hunter asks.

Jared sighs, "I am not sure. Quincy said she has a hard time communicating with them. She also said that something must be blocking the communication." He said.

Zara began typing on her keyboard, "I do have a lock on the location where the main attack is coming from. It coming from a hidden mountain on a lake outside of Reefside, and Corey's entire team is on that island." Zara said and turned back to the teens.

Artie nods now, "That makes a lot of sense now, they must have got called to that location where it must have some sort of interference with communication, so their main villain can send more of his army to other locations with active ranger teams." Artie said.

Gwen looks at her teams, "That villain must have planned that very well." She said.

KZ nods, "Yeah plus there is no way of knowing on how to get in touch with Corey."

Jenny looks at the others, "They must be in their final battle for something like this."

Jared nods, "And we'll be here if they need help." Jared said.

Artie turns to his brother, "So now that?"

"We handle the Mutezoids attacking Clover Hill, then we deal with what comes next." Jared said.

The others nod. They pulled out their morphers and ran out of the Batcave.
