IN THE Batcave the following day. The teens were in utter silence, and the included the tree adults in the room. Adam, Tia, and Zara were focused on the newly black morpher from Artie. Zara was handed the device and began work on the tech, while both Tia and Adam were discussing what to do with Artie.

The team knew what was going on, it was obvious. KZ glanced at her boyfriend. Jared was not wanting to say a single thing. She wasn't sure whether he was angry or just upset. Either way, the leader wasn't talking. Omar looked at KZ, the two shared looks for a moment. Hunter and Jenny held hands and exchanged looks. Meanwhile, Artie stood a little away. He was very, impatient.

"How long am I gonna wait?" Artie finally broke the silence.

Hunter crossed his arms on his chest, "Whenever they're done."

Artie glanced at the Green Ranger, "So like what? An hour?"

KZ sighs with exhaustion, "We don't know."

Artie rolls his eyes, "And you're suppose to be heroes. You can't even figure out how to fix that stupid thing from shocking me." He spoke.

Jared walked over and got in Artie's face, "Listen here, Arthur. You can whine and complain all you want on how long it's taking, but mind I remind you that Ripto and his army are out for you. So why don't you sit your butt down and shut up, little brother." Jared said.

Everyone exchanged looks at each other. They knew things must be complicated at the Scott home. Jenny sighs and shakes her head, just like her the entire team is exhausted and tired of all of this.

Suddenly they hear, "I've found it."

It was Zara, she pulled out a small little chip thing in the morpher. She literally pulled the device apart to find anything harmful. The team, including Artie walked over.

"What is that?" Omar asks.

Zara grins, "It's RNM, which stands for Remote Neural Monitoring. This is some serious technology." Zara said.

Tia looks puzzled, "I don't understand, Zara." She said.

Adam nods, "I don't think any of us gets it."

Zara turns to stare at them all in front of her, "RNM is technology that is supposed to be used to revolutionize crime detection and investigation. I mean USA has been involved in this as well as the UK, Spain, France, and Germany."

Hunter scratches his head, "So how does Ripto get his hands on it?"

Silence until, "Geena." It was Artie.

"Geena?" "How?" The female rangers asked.

Artie looks at them, "She has been able to walk among us, as human. So she probably stole the tech." He said.

Adam nods, "That is possible."

Tia points out, "But why use it for a Black Ranger? Why not an army of some sort?"

Zara joins back in, "Because this tech is still being tested. Likely is, Geena snaked a prototype. And the shocks can result from backfire of the device being used to often as he was morphing." She said.

Jenny seemed concerned, "Will Artie be harmed if he morphs?"

"Now? Yes," Zara started, "however, if I can remove any RNM in this device and also finding its source for power. I could probably Hashimoto this morpher."

"Hashi- what?" Hunter and Omar spoke.

Tia grins, "You wouldn't get it kids."

Adam looked at his wrist watch, "You all should head out. You all have school to get to."

Jared was the first to grab his backpack and leave. Didn't need to say a single word or anything. KZ frowned but turned to Artie, clearly he is getting it hard with Jared. Jenny walked over with her backpack.

"Jared- when someone breaks trust with him, it takes a while to build it back." Jenny said.

"Of course," Artie said and stormed off with his backpack.

"Keep an eye on them," Adam said.

Jenny, KZ, Omar, and Hunter nods. With that said the remaining four left the cave. Zara was studying the device and looking at the chip. While this was going on, Tia was heading off since she had class to teach, and Adam also had a karate class to teach.

AT CLOVER Hill High, the students were going through their normal day. No strange monster attacks which have been growing to be normal. Jared was by his locker in between his fourth and fifth period. He was reaching in for books, when Artie came over.

"Okay, you want trust. Lets go." Artie said.

Jared stared at his brother as he placed his Sherlock Holmes novel in his backpack, "What are you saying?"

"The truth, you want honesty. Let's get it out in the open."

Jared shuts his locker, "You're crazy."

Jared began to walk past his brother, and he shoved Artie. Artie just took that but then turned around to face the backside of Jared.

"Crazy, huh? You mean like that mother of yours." Artie said.

Now walking out of the library was Omar and Jenny, they stopped smiling to see Jared drop his backpack rather loudly and turn to face his brother.

"What did you say, Artie?" Jared asked.

Artie grins, "You stupid too?"

Jared comes storming over, "You better shut your mouth."

Artie sees his brother practically in his face, "Or what?"

Jared shoves Artie back. Artie shoves Jared back. The two shove each other until it got violent. Jared slammed Artie off the lockers, and Artie launched himself onto Jared. The students crowded around, all chanting "fight"  over and over.

Omar and Hunter pulled Jared off Artie, as a friend of Artie's pulled Artie off of Jared. The two boys were glaring at each other. KZ had a concern look, she knew her boyfriend wasn't dealing with any of this well enough.

Appearing was Mr. Fitz, "Well well. Mr Scott and Mr Scott, you'll be coming with to the principal's office."

The freshmen history teacher dragged off the two boys, leaving the students upset the fight was over and the rangers concerned over their team.

---

MR. CHANG, the principal, was not happy. And neither was Ryan Scott, he was still in scrubs when he was called to the school. The father sat in the middle of the two boys. Jared crossing his arms on his chest and Artie just doing the same.

"Ryan, we've had issues in the past with Jared's behavior." Mr Chang said.

Ryan sighs, "I know Mr Chang. I thought we've had a talk about this, Jared?" Ryan spoke.

Jared remain quiet.

"Ryan, you know I can't keep having a troubled student here in my school. It dangers the other students." Mr Chang said.

Jared perked up, "What?"

"Hold on, Li. We don't need to go rash here." Ryan said.

Mr Chang exhales, "There has been issues with Jared's behavior since he was ten. Teachers had always said how smart he was, just always too quiet. Teachers also have commented on the fact he always seems to be in the middle of some kind of conflict."

"Li, can't we discuss something else if you're referring to what I think you are." Ryan said.

"Ryan, if your son cannot clean up his act I'm going to expel him from school. And I would suggest sending him to a private school. Try Lynchburg Private school in Meadowedge, they do have dorms on ground." Mr Chang said.

"That's not fair!" Jared said.

"Very well," Ryan said.

Jared seemed shocked that his dad wasn't standing up for him. Artie seemed shocked as well, that wasn't his intention when he basically started the fight.

"Mr Chang, sir. Its not Jared's fault. Its mine, I basically attacked him. He was only defending himself," Artie said.

Ryan turned to Artie, "Arthur."

Nr Chang sighed, "My choice on Jared stands. However, you can think about what you've done in detention with your brother."

The two exchanged looks, and then Mr Chang dismissed the there of them. As they were leaving the office, Ryan was lecturing the boys was about explaining their behavior when they get home. Jared ignored his dad and Artie couldn't help but do the same.

---

RIPTO SLAMS his fist against his throne arm rest, "So the Black Ranger has betrayed us!"

Gena nods, "Believe so. The rangers have obtained the identity of him. Drago nearly destroyed him too."

Ripto turned to her, "Drago? The one I banished?"

Geena nods, "Yes my lord."

Ripto nods, "I see. Geena, I want you to pay Drago a visit."

Geena bows her head, "Yes my master."

---

ARTIE AND Jared were walking down the hallway to go to their next class. They each had an excuse from Mr Chang.

"Jared,"

Jared turns, "What?"

"I'm sorry, okay. For everything." Artie said.

Jared nods, "Okay. Whatever."

Artie walks over, "That's all you have to say?"

"Look I don't have to accept your apology. Heck, now because of you I could possibly get sent to a private school in Meadowedge." Jared said.

"And I'm sorry." Artie said.

Jared shakes his head, "And I don't care. All you've been doing since you got here was mess with my life. You've made my life hell, and would be jerk. I had to put up with you because of dad and Brooke. Honestly, until about a month back I didn't count you as my brother."

"Jared,"

Jared turns away, "You do your thing. I'll do mine."

With that said, Jared walked in the direction of his classroom. While, Artie just stood there in awe. He was so shocked by what his brother said. He shook his head and then walked to class.

---

AT THE Batcave after school, the teens were just entering in when they see Zara basically like some mad scientist. Tia and Adam were leaving her alone to work.

"Jared, Artie, I'm very disappointed with you two." Adam said.

Jared didn't reply and neither did Artie.

KZ walked next to her boyfriend and sat next to him, "You okay?"

Jared looks at her, "Oh yeah."

"You sure? You were out of it during lunch."

Jared forces a smile, "I'm fine."

KZ didn't believe that smile, but she didn't want to anger her boyfriend more than he already is currently.

Suddenly the alarm went off, "Rangers! Looks like Drago brought dinobots to town." Tia said.

The began to head out but Jared stopped Artie, "You stay here."

Like that the five rangers ran off. Leaving Artie behind, just standing alone. Adam and Tia exchanged looks while Zara was too caught up in the device.

"Artie, he doesn't want you in danger." Tia spoke.

Artie turns to them, "Yeah right."

---

THE TEAM arrived at the location of the attack. Dinobots were attacking the people, but were stopped by a blast hitting a few. That gained Draco's attention. The dragon turned to see the five rangers, but not the black one.

"Where is that traditor?" Drago demanded.

Jenny turned to Jared, "He wants Artie."

"Dude," Omar says.

Jared held onto his sword tightly, "Like we'd tell you."

Drago grins, "Of course. You'd want to protect that traitor, after all there was rumors that this human was in fact the brother of the mighty Red Ranger." He spatted.

Hunter rolls his eyes, "We gonna fight or gossip?"

"Oh, we'll fight." Drago said.

With that said, the five rangers all ran at Drago. Jenny blasted him with her blaster, and then she ducked the blade in the dragon's hand. Hunter went to slash with his daggers and blocked Drago's blade from Jenny.

Hunter pushed Drago back, where KZ swiftly swung her staff to cause Drago to collapse onto the ground, on his back. Omar went to stab him with his spear, but the dragon dodged. Upon standing, the beast looked up to see the red saber in his face.

"Well then, go ahead." Drago said.

Jared reached for Draco's blade and tossed it at him, "I don't fight an unarmed foe." He said.

Drago nods, "Such honor."

As Drago stood, holding his own blade, the dragon shifted it to a blaster and begun firing at the other rangers. Jenny and KZ powered down, as well as Hunter and Omar.

Drago turned to Jared, "Tell me his location and you all will be speared."

Jared holds a glare, "Never."

---

ARTIE STOOD in front of the monitors in panic. He was confused on why his brother wasn't telling that monster anything. He was bewildered by all of this.

"What are you doing, Jared?" Artie asked himself.

"He's protecting you." Said Adam.

Artie turned, "I don't deserve their protection including Jared's. Mostly after what I did today." He said.

Tia joined in, "No matter what you did, Artie, you have to understand this. Jared is your older brother, and as fend up as he can be with you, he'll always love and protect you."

Artie turns to the monitor, "I don't get why though? I've put him through hell, he was angry at me at school. Heck, he basically gave me this black eye." The teen said.

Adam looks at the boy, "He may be mad at your actions and say things he doesn't mean, but he is your brother." Adam said.

Artie sighs, "I feel so useless."

Zara jumped over, "Don't fret. I got your morphed fixed, now no more mind control or shocks." She said.

Zara handed the morpher to Artie, he stared at it for a second and then looked up at the three adults before him now. He held onto it tightly and nods. He knows what he must do.

---

JARED SLASHED his sword at Drago, and yet the dragon blocked his blow. Drago shifted his blade to a blaster and fired, Jared tucked and rolled on the ground to avoid being hit.

"Nice dodge," the beast said.

"Nice blast," Jared said.

Jared stands up and charges back in. Jared's blade collides with Drago's blade, until Drago throws Jared back. He falls to the ground, meanwhile Jenny stands and fires her blaster at him. Drago stops and turns to the girl in yellow.

"Stay out of my way," he said and then blasted her with an attack.

Jenny hit the ground hard, laying next to Hunter. He was getting up, and grabbed his own weapons while out of suit.

"You don't hurt her!" Hunter yells.

Hunter went to charge at Drago, but he was sent back by Drago's blow from his blade. Hunter falls to the ground. Omar and KZ stand, they went to do something but Jared shouted at them.

"Don't, please!"

He didn't want them to get hurt. KZ still reached for her staff and ran in, Omar was right behind her. The two weren't up much longer than Jenny and Hunter. Now all four rangers on the ground.

Jared saw a blade by his neck, "Any last words?"

Jared glares up, "Go to hell."

As Drago went to slash Jared, the ranger closed his eyes. But when he opened it, he felt no pain. But only saw black, now he knew what happened.

"Heard you were looking for me." Artie spoke.

Jared was shocked, "Artie- why did you?"

Artie turns to look at him from his helmet, "We're brothers. Even if its only by half."

Jared watched as his brother ran into battle with Drago. The two were slashing their blades at one an other. Drago shifted his blade to fire, but Artie used the blaster he had. Both firing created a large explosion. Jared stood up, in shock of the condition of his brother.

When the smoke cleared, it was only Artie walking over all victorious. Though, Drago did reappear. The beast rose rather quickly and charged toward the defenseless Artie, however he was cut off by a different blade. This was Jared's blade.

"Jared-?" Artie spoke as he turned around.

Drago glared, "Damn you."

Jared shoves the dragon back, "Why don't you leave already? Besides, its two against one."

"Make that six against one," said Omar.

The entire team stumbled over and stood next to their leader and his brother. Drago glared at them, and growled to himself.

"Enjoy your victory while it last." Drago says.

With that said the dragon vanished. The teens all turned to each other, now Artie and Jared powered down. KZ hugs her boyfriend, and even kisses him on the cheek. Hunter nudged Artie, the two shared smiles. Jenny hugs Artie, while Omar gives Jared a high five. Then they all turn to the two, the two Scott boys.

"Jared, about today and everything-," Artie was cut off.

Jared shakes his head, "It's cool."

"Even with the fight? And what Mr Chang said?" Artie asks.

"What did he say?" Jenny asks.

Jared turns to the others, "Its nothing. And Artie, its cool. Seriously, you've proven yourself loyal to us." He said.

Artie smiles, "Thanks Jared."

Hunter slaps Artie's back, "Welcome to the team Little Scott."

Omar smiles, "Now we've got another teammate." He said.

Jenny smiles, "We have to celebrate!"

KZ nods, "But where?" She asks.

Jared joins in, "The Smooth Grove has reopened. Why not there?" He asks.

The teens agree with this choice and began to walk off. KZ and Omar were walking by each other while talking with Jenny and Hunter. The team were giving Jared and Artie some space.

"Jared, you have to tell them about what Mr Chang said." He said.

Jared shakes his head, "It's not important. Besides, all I have to do is stay out of trouble." Jared said.

Artie sighs, "You can't keep secrets from them. They'll find out, believe me."

Jared looks at his brother, "I known secrets come out but they don't need to worry." He said.

Artie frowns, "This wouldn't have happened if I got you mad. I was just trying to get you alone so we could talk and I ask forgiveness." Artie said.

Jared shrugs his shoulders, "Its whatever. I mean he was right, I had a behavior issue and if I tried harder to not blow up on people maybe I wouldn't have to worry about private school." He said.

From ahead they hear, "Hurry up slowpokes!" It was Omar.

The two Scotts exchanged looks and smiled. They jog to catch up with the rest of the team.

---

JARED IS in a desolate, dark, and creepy place. He is alone as he gets the seriously creeped out by the place.

"This is weird", Jared said to himself.

He hears a faint voice calling for help. As Jared hears it, he runs towards the black mountain. However Jared gets blocked by the people behind it.

"He is mine now and my son will fulfill my lost dreams to become the red ranger". The man said to Jared.

Jared sees Corey trapped in an icy like statue. "Corey no", Jared said.

All of a sudden Jared wakes up, in cold sweat. Panting deeply and rubbing his hands through his hair. This felt weird, it felt familiar like his first dreams regarding other rangers.

"Could Corey seriously be in- danger?" Jared asked himself.

Jared reached for his phone, scrolling on his contact list he stopped at a certain name. He pressed call.

"Hey, Quincy. Its Jared, Jared Scott. Jurassic Red Ranger, I fear something is going to happen to Corey." Jared said.
