THE WIND blew against the rusted building. Brooke was tied against a pipe in the factory, she had finally stopped sobbing. She looked at the beast pacing back and forth, it had just been a few minutes after the beast called Jared. 

She knew Jared faced monsters and what not but she didn't expect to get pulled into it. The dragon monster stopped moving and then turned to her. This time, instead of being afraid the young teen held a strong look.

"So," Drago started, "You aren't the least curious why your brother is coming here to fight me?"

Brooke remain silent.

Drago rolls his eyes, "Silence. Must be a family thing."

Brooke heard the sound of Jared's car pulling in. Then the thirteen year old saw a smile appear on Drago's face. There was the sound of a slamming of a door, then foot steps. Upon opening the door, it revealed Jared standing at the doorway. He held a serious glare at Drago, who at this point began clapping with a smile.

"Wise choice, Red. You came for your sister." Drago said.

Jared gritted his teeth, "Just let her go!"

Drago shakes his head, "Not until we fight." He said.

Jared loosen his gaze from Drago to Brooke. Now he got to see his sister. He hadn't seen her since before school that morning. He remembered hearing her ramble on that morning about how Omar's brother, Keith, wouldn't stop flirting with her and how awkward it was because he had tripped into paint which had landed on Brooke the day before. 

Instead of seeing the smart-aleck and loud younger sister that could handle any noob in Call Of Duty, he saw a terrified little girl. Brooke had a small bruise on the side of her face and her eyes were red from when she had cried.

"Not until she is released." Jared said.

Drago glares, "So she can do what? Get help?"

Jared shifts his gaze back at Drago, "She won't spill anything. She doesn't have anything to do with this." Jared said.

Drago smirks, "Sorry, Red, but she is involved."

Jared looks back at Brooke, "Brooke."

Brooke forced a smile, "I'm fine. Seriously." She clearly lied.

Drago kept his gaze at Jared, "See. Now let us settle things."

Jared watched as Drago pulled out his sword like prior. Jared reached for his morpher in his back pocket, he morphed into his red suit and armed himself with his sword. This was the second time Brooke had seen her brother morph into his ranger suit and even hold a weapon and even though she was familiar with his alter ego, this was still shocking.

"Let's end this for good." Jared said.

"Yes," Drago smirks, "Let us."

Miss Moore arrived at the Batcave and heard shouting from downstairs. Hunter and Omar were brawling a friendly brawl, while Artie was just bored out of his mind. Gwen was laughing when Hunter flipped Omar onto the mat, which she was then elbowed by KZ to stop the laughing because it was rude. Jenny just shook her head. Miss Moore glanced at the computers and saw Adam and Zara.

"I feel welcomed," Miss Moore said.

Adam turns over, "Tia. Sorry, we've been caught up in the zord program."

Miss Moore turned to the teens and noticed the leader was missing.

"Where is Jared?" Miss Moore asks.

KZ turns to her, "He texted me saying he was on his way after visiting with you. But then he texted saying he was going to visit his mom with Brooke." KZ said.

Artie turns to look at the music teacher, "We even tried calling him."

Gwen held her phone up, "And he didn't answer." She said.

Miss Moore exhaled, "Did he not listen to me?" She muttered to herself.

Miss Moore walked over to the computers. She nudged Adam and Zara out of her way. She began typing at the keyboard, which now gained the attention of the teens. The six teenagers walked over to the large computer and watched what their music teacher was doing. It seemed that she was attempting to locate Jared.

"Weird," Zara looked at the screen, "His GPS locator says he is right above us."

Omar rubs his sore neck, "Then Miss Moore would have seen him before coming in." He said.

Miss Moore frowns, "Which I didn't." She said.

Zara nudged her former teammate up, "Let me have a look. Maybe I can trace his phone records. I mean if he did indeed went to visit his mom, there would have been a phone call." Zara said.

---

Brooke sat and watched. Jared and Drago clashing their swords at each other. Jared pushed his blade hard against Drago, but the beast slugged the boy in the face. Which sent Jared back and his blade went flying back. 

Drago ran over and grabbed a hold of Jared's neck, Jared began to choke and struggle for freedom. Brooke watched as Drago dragged her brother by his neck until he lifted him up by Drago's right hand. Jared was lifted up against the wall, and struggling to breathe.

"Stop it!" Brooke yelled, "You'll kill him!"

Drago smirks, "That's the plan."

Jared managed the strength and grabbed a sharp edge of a broken pipe and stabbed Drago in the shoulder. Drago yells and drops Jared, who fell to the ground. Jared coughed and coughed to catch his breathe, he looked up to see Drago knelt down in pain and began to remove the sharp part of the pipe. 

Jared then launched himself at Drago, tackling the beast to the ground. They were rolling on the ground, both punching one and other.

"Jared!" Brooke yells.

The two stand up and now were about to continue their fight as a fist brawl. The two were a couple of feet away by held their fists up.

"You're holding back, Red." Drago said.

Jared didn't reply.

"Or maybe the best has yet to come." Drago said.

Drago went charging toward Jared, Jared blocked the fist and grabbed a hold of Drago's arm and tossed him over his shoulder. Drago met the ground face first, where Jared still held onto Drago's arm while the beast was face first on the ground. Jared was stepping on the back of Drago with all his force. Jared grabbed the sharp pipe and turned to Brooke.

"Brooke!" Jared yells.

Brooke watched as Jared tossed the pipe at her, it landed in front of her.

"Cut yourself free," Jared said, "And then get the hell out of here!"

Brooke reached for it, "But what about you?"

Jared turned his attention to Drago, "I will handle Drago and then meet up with you." He said.

Brooke began cutting herself free, "You better or KZ will kill you." She said.

Jared smirked underneath his helmet, "She already will."

Upon getting free, she stood up and looked at her brother one last time. Drago rolled over and tackled her brother to the ground, Brooke went to yell but Jared slugged the beast.

"Get out of here!" Jared orders.

Brooke nods and ran, even though she didn't want to leave her brother behind.

---

Zara looked through the call sheet, "Found it."

"Isn't what you just did illegal?" Hunter asks.

Zara smirks, "Only if you get caught." Zara said.

Gwen leans forward and turned to Zara, "I like you."

Zara snickers, "I'm a pro."

Artie crossed his arms on his chest, "So? What are we looking at?"

Zara clicks on the sheet and makes it show the recent calls.

"Well this is the call sheet from Jared's phone. It shows from a week ago when Levi called him and a couple of days ago when Iris called him." Zara said.

KZ got more concerned, "So who called just before he vanished?"

"Brooke." Zara said.

Miss Moore seemed confused, "His sister?"

Hunter nods, "Yeah. So maybe he went to visit his sister." He said.

Zara shakes her head, "I'm not sure, Hunter."

Adam nods, "If he went to visit his mom, why would he remove his GPS?" Adam asks.

Gwen frowns, "Jared didn't want to be tracked." She said.

"But why?" Jenny asks.

The others stood there in silence for a while until they heard a phone ringing, it was Artie's phone. He ran to his backpack and pulled it out, he looked at the name calling and it was Brooke.

"Guys! It's Brooke!" He shouts.

After he yelled that, the others all ran over to join him.

"Brooke," Artie answers, "Where are you? Where is Jared?"

Artie hears Brooke breathing heavy, "I- I was taken by Drago." Brooke said.

"What? Are you okay? How did you escape?" Artie asks.

"Jared." Brooke said and took in a deep breathe.

Artie turns to the others, "Where are you? We're coming for you and help Jared." He said.

"I'm lost. I- I don't know where I am." Brooke said.

Artie turns to Zara, "Can you track her?"

Zara nods and walks to the computer.

"Hold on, Brooke, we'll be coming for you." Artie said.

Zara sat down and used a triangular search to find Brooke, "She is at the edge of Clove Hill. In the middle of the forest, she is heading in the direction of returning to the city."

Hunter nods.

"We'll get going." Omar said.

Artie nods as well, "Brooke, we're on our way. You stay put."

Artie's heart nearly broke hearing, "I'm scared, big bro."

Artie choked back tears, "Don't worry. We're coming." He said.

Jared was launched against the wall in the factory which broke down and Jared rolled in the dirt outside. The boy powered down and was now in his civilian clothes. Jared stumbled to stand and then heard the sound of his blade landed on the ground in front of him, Jared looked up to see Drago with his blade in his hands. Jared muscled the strength to get to his sword, and then forced himself to stand even if his muscles were screaming at him.

"I am quite surprised you've lasted this long, Red." Drago said.

Jared kept silent.

"Once I'm finished with you, I'll find that sister of yours and kill her too. Maybe then go after the rest of your pathetic team afterwards." Drago said.

Jared gritted his teeth, "You stay away from them!"

Jared launched forward. His blade colliding with Drago's blade, the two had equal force. Jared pushed harder though, and even kicked Drago in the chest sending the beast on his back. Drago looked up to see the shine of Jared's blade coming toward him, but the beast rolled to avoid the blow that Jared had planned for him. Jared turned around to see Drago stand and stare at Jared.

Drago charged in and slashed his blade, Jared nearly missed the blade yet the blade did cut the side of Jared's cheek with a small cut. Jared winced when he felt the pain and could feel the blood coming out of the small wound. 

Jared bit his lips and could see the smile of pure enjoyment on Drago's face. Drago slashed his blade again, but Jared ran up a tree to avoid it and flipped over Drago. Jared landed behind Drago and held his blade at Drago's back, the boy slashed at Drago. Drago felt the pain and it generated some sparks and a yell from Drago.

"Nice move, Red." Drago said.

Jared didn't see Drago's fist coming near his face until it was too late. Jared was punched in the face and rolled on the ground until he saw the beast coming near him, Jared jumped up and kicked Drago who did catch the kick. Drago threw Jared into a tree and Jared hit the tree trunk, Jared could feel his body scream at him.

"Give it up." Drago said, "It's over."

Jared was breathing heavy, his body was weak, his muscles were in pain. It was only a matter of time until Jared becomes completely exhausted or Drago does indeed kill him.

---

"Brooke!"

"Brooke!"

The six teens were running through the forest, shouting for the name of Artie's sister.

"Brooke!"

Suddenly Artie heard a faint yell from the distance. Artie ignored his friends and sprinted in the direction of the shout, though they were right behind him. Artie ran over and found Brooke sitting down on a log catching her breathe, she looked up and saw Artie sprinting over. Brooke stood up and ran to her brother, the two embraced in a hug. Artie nearly lifted her from the ground due to the force he had while running over.

"You okay?" Artie asks.

Brooke nods, "Ye- Yeah."

Artie held his hand on the back of her head, "You sure? You're not hurt?"

Brooke shakes her head, "No. I'm not hurt."

Artie let her go and saw the small bruise on her cheek, "Drago- he hit you?"

Brooke looks at her brother, "Yeah."

At this point the others had reached them.

"Brooke." Jenny said as she hugged her cousin.

KZ took in a deep breathe, "Where is Jared?"

Brooke turned around and then frowned, "That way. He came for me in some abandon factory. They have to be still fighting." Brooke said.

Jenny holds onto her cousin, "We need to get her someplace safe and go after Jared."

Omar turns to Artie and Jenny, "I'll take her back to town. You guys go in for back up in case."

Artie turns to Omar, "Thanks buddy. I know how much you care about Jared." He said.

Omar nods, "Right now I'm only thinking about getting Brooke someplace safe and Jared getting help." Omar said.

Hunter pulled out his morpher, "We better go."

The others nod. 

And just like that Omar and Brooke began to go the direction he came from whereas the other five rangers ran in the direction Brooke came from in search for this abandon factory.

---

"Any last words, Red?" Drago asks.

Jared spit blood on the ground and then looked up at Drago, he wasn't going to give Drago the satisfaction of saying any last words. Instead he noticed his morpher was on the ground just inches from him, his gaze went from his morpher to the beast with the sword. 

A smirk appeared on his face and then as the blade came toward his body, everything suddenly felt it was moving in slow motion. Jared tucked and rolled on the ground and avoided the blade, he reached and grabbed his morpher.

"Jurassic Squad! Power Rangers!" Jared shouts.

The boy shinned red as he morphed and turned around with his sword in his hands. Drago seemed less impressed by this action.

"Aren't you about done with the same old tricks, Red? We know you can't handle me much longer." Drago said.

A smirk appeared in the helmet, "We'll see about that." Jared said.

Drago came charging at Jared but Jared dodged the blade in Drago's hands. Jared elbowed Drago in the back of his head and the beast went forward. Jared turned to Drago, watching the beast stumble up and turn to the boy in front of him. Jared pointed his blade at Drago.

"You can threaten me, but you do not threaten my family." Jared said.

Suddenly a glow was coming from Jared's blade. The blade was glowing a red aura, Jared looked from his enemy to his weapon. When Jared's eyes met the blade, the glow of red even sparked in his own hazel eyes. Jared turned to Drago and a smirk appeared on his face.

"Power of the Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Jared said.

Suddenly around him was more glowing of a red aura. His suit changed as well as his helmet, which looked more like a tyrannosaurus rex. His suit now had sharp edges on the sleeves. Jared looked at his new changes to his uniform and then back to Drago, the beast was standing up fully and a bit in shocked at the sudden power Jared now has.

"Looks like you got an upgrade." Drago said.

Jared smirks, "Seems that way."

Drago grips his sword, "Well let's see if that's enough to defeat me."

Jared and Drago ran at the same time. The moment seemed to have slowed down, reach step hitting the ground before the action took place. The blades clashed until Jared pushed harder and the blade broke Drago's in half and then slashed through the body of Drago. This caused a large explosion, which was enough to cause Jared to power down.

The boy collapsed onto his hands and knees, coughing a bit to himself.

"I- I did it." He muttered to himself.

Jared forced himself to stand and forced himself to limp over to the factory again. He struggled to reach the factory and made his way to his car, though he heard voices in the distance.

"Jared!"

"Jared-!"

That was all he heard before everything went black.

---

Jared woke up in panic when he realized he wasn't in the forest anymore. He was in a hospital. He was looking around and seemed a bit shocked on why he was in the hospital. He sat up but felt it hurt to do so. So he laid back down on the bed and took in a deep breathe.

"So you're awake." Said an adult.

Jared turned to see Miss Moore, "Miss Moore."

"You went in alone, Jared." She said sounding disappointed.

"He threatened Brooke," Then everything came back, "Where is she? Is she okay?"

Miss Moore nods, "Yes, your sister is safe. She was brought back by Omar." She said.

Jared nods, "How did I end up here?"

She sighs, "A search party. Zara tracked Brooke's phone to find her and then Brooke told the others the location where you and Drago were brawling. It was Artie, KZ, Jenny, Hunter, and Gwen who brought you to the hospital. The others are outside the room right now, we even had to create a lie to your father who was angry at the fact you were brought into the hospital. So he thinks you and Brooke were captured by a monster and the rangers saved you." Miss Moore said.

Jared nods and kept his head down.

Miss Moore looked at the boy, "You want to see them?"

Jared looks at her, "If they want to see me."

Miss Moore forms a faint smile, "Jared, they are equally as worried as you were for Brooke."

Miss Moore stood up and knocked on the door, which was their code for 'come in', because in came the teens. Brooke was the first over, she latched onto Jared. She began sobbing and apologizing for her getting kidnapped, though Jared just hugged her and told her it wasn't her fault. Artie placed a hand on his brother's shoulder, and Jared looked at Artie. The two brothers gave each other a comfort smile. 

Omar stood on the other side and placed his hand on Jared's other shoulder, which gained Jared's attention. Jared used his right hand and signed 'thank you' to Omar, which Omar returned by signing 'you're welcome' to his friend. Hunter and Jenny stood on the right side of the bed by Omar, smiling at Jared. KZ and Gwen were on the left side of the bed with Artie and Brooke. KZ and Jared met each other in their gaze, Jared saw a frown on his girlfriend's face but then saw a soft smile appear.

"Idiot," KZ said, "You- You don't ever scare me again."

Jared lowers his head, "I'm sorry."

And that was all Jared said while his friends and family were suffocating him with attention. Miss Moore stood there with a smile on her face but it faded when she left without saying another word. Standing outside of the hospital room was Zara and Adam, the two were silent while they waited. Zara was sitting in one of the chairs while Adam was leaning against the wall.

"He's okay." Miss Moore said.

Zara sighs in relief, "That's good."

Adam nods.

"I'm a bit disappointed but other than that, I'm proud." Miss Moore said.

Zara pulled out her laptop, "Well after his attack from Drago, it shows from his morpher a new power added."

Adam turns to Zara, "Seriously?"

Zara nods, "I'm not completely sure how the others will gain this new power but I think we are getting closer to unlocking the zords." Zara said.

Miss Moore glanced into the hospital room then to her colleagues, "Let's discuss with them later. Now they need some time to process all of this, including Jared." Miss Moore said.

"Think he'll be okay?" Adam asks.

Miss Moore glanced at Adam, "I think he'll be fine but I'm certain he isn't going to talk about what went down." She said.

Turning back to the hospital room, the rangers and Brooke were all together. They were all happy. Laughing. Talking. Smiling. It was as if what had happened prior didn't happen, no one was talking about it. And no one will, until later but now wasn't later.
