SCHOOL STARTED up like usual. It was a brand new day on Monday. The town of Clover Hill were beginning its annual gossip about what had occurred at Reefside over the weekend. Some good and others not so good. The high school however, seemed a bit off. Which was going to make today rather interesting.

Jared approaches the front door and sigh.

"You okay, bro?" Artie asked.

Jared shakes his head, "I just want to get today done and over with."

The two entered in. And the halls grew silent. Everyone stared. This was what Jared wanted to avoid, the attention. He kept his head down, walking to his locker. While Artie had a big smile on his face like he had just won a battle. But that didn't stop the whispering.

"Did you hear they found those missing kids?"

"Yeah, I heard."

"What were they doing in Reefside anyways?"

Upon arriving to his locker, Jared sees none other than a guy who used to bully Jared on a daily bases walk over with a friendly smile.

"So its true, Scott?" He asks.

Artie nods, "Yeah."

Jared nods too, "Yeah, Craig."

Craig nods and then holds hand our, "I have a cousin who lives in Reefside. And if it were my cousin you'd save, well I'd owe you my life. Instead, I want to apologize for the way I behaved toward you." He said.

Jared saw how much Craig meant that, "Its okay."

Craifg shakes his head, "No its not. I beat you up and made fun of your mom, so I'm sorry." He said.

With that said Craig walked off. The entire school just stood and watched as one of the meanest kids to Jared had apologized to him. Jared saw his friends and girlfriend come over. KZ kissed him on the cheek and Jenny lightly punched her shoulder. Hunter and Omar both held smiles on their faces.

"We better get to English." Omar said.

Artie waves goodbye as he goes off to French class.

"You two are practically heroes." Hunter said.

Jared awkwardly nods, "Yeah I guess." He mutters.

KZ turns to Jared, "You okay about all this attention?"

Jared shrugs, "I'm really happy Corey and Levi are safe and sound, I just didn't expect Coach McKnight and my dad to release our names to the media." Jared said.

Omar glanced over, "Sorry about my dad harassing you and Artie. He wanted to be the first to tell the story."

Jared shakes his head, "No hard feelings."

The five enter the English classroom to find words written on the chalkboard. Words like, destiny and fate. The five seemed a bit confused about it but took their seats just like the rest of the class. The bell rang alerting class to start.

Mr Nelson leaned against his desk, "Who can define these words? Anyone."

A hand rose, "Um, the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future. That defines destiny, right?" Questioned a girl.

Mr Nelson nods, "Right Mary Beth. Now who can define fate?"

Another hand rose, "The development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power." Said a boy near the back.

Mr Nelson nods, "Correct, Thomas. Now who can tell me what these have to do together?"

There was dead silence. So Mr Nelson pushed himself off from his desk. He walked in long strides and then stopped by the first row of desks.

"These two words are suppose to define us. Destiny and fate. Its basically saying the universe has already pointed us to our future. Our fate, I would say. But is it really that black and white?" Mr Nelson asks.

Jenny raises her hand, "But didn't you just say those two words have created our entire lives. How is it not black and white?"

Mr Nelson turns to her, "I'm glad you asked. You see if you follow the media, you'd see that two students from our school helped save two boys from Reefside. And you know what? There destiny was probably to be the ones to find them, but was it fate? Could they've change their fate by protecting two complete strangers?"

All eyes directly turn to Jared. He shifts uncomfortable like and avoids the eyes staring him down.

"We all had our own thoughts of both Scott brothers but they took their pride and changed their fate." He says.

ADAM WAS cleaning up his dojo when he heard the bell on the door ring. He turn around expecting to see a mother or a father beginning in the younger child for self defense classes but instead found himself staring at his past.

"So this is what you've been up to?" A male voice spoke.

The female voice joins in, "Look at you, Adam, haven't changed a bit."

Adam was shocked, "Rocky? Tanya?"

"Its good to see you again." Rocky said.

The two former Stone Canyon students turned Angel Grove high school graduates, came in for a handshake which turned into a bear hug. Adam release his grip on his long time friend to turn to Tanya. She was still as beautiful as she was on their high school graduation day.

"H- Hey." Adam's old nervous habit came back.

Tanya placed a hand on his shoulder, "Adam don't be nervous. Its me we're talking about."

Adam allowed his friends to come in, they all sat on a stack of training mats. Tanya ironically sat on the yellow ones, Rocky sat on the red ones, and Adam sat on the green ones.

"So how was college? Heard from Tommy, you got a job as a police officer." Adam addressed Rocky.

Rocky nods, "Yeah. So it isn't just Bulk and Skull running the town." Rocky joked.

Both Adam and Tanya chuckled at that comment.

Tanya turns to Adam, "Heard you were in a rock band in college. What happened? I thought the music was great." Tanya asks.

Adam seemed embarrassed, "You knew?"

Tanya laughs, "Katherine mentioned it. She showed me a CD that your band had burned. You sounded amazing." She said.

Adam blushed, "I wouldn't say that."

Rocky then nudges Adam, "So you single or have you tied the knot?"

Adam didn't notice Tanya slap Rocky's knee, the former Red Ranger turned to the former Yellow Ranger. Adam, however, awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck and then looked back up at the two.

"No Rocky, I'm single." Adam said.

Rocky grins, "I figured." He said and turned to Tanya.

Tanya then gets in, "So what more have you been up to?"

Adam grins, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

Rocky nudges his friend, "Try us." Rocky said.

THE TEENS head out of the school to find Miss Moore talking by her car with Zara. Zara seemed to have a laptop on her and showing Miss Moore something rather important. Miss Moore sighed with defeat and shakes her head.

"So how do you think the others will deal with this?" Miss Moore asks.

Zara shakes her head, "Knowing Zack, he's probably going around blaming himself."

Miss Moore shakes her head, "Its not his fault. They were lucky how long she held it together." Miss Moore said.

Zara closes the laptop, "It makes working on this zord codes useless." She said.

Miss Moore nods, "How is Roxxy dealing with it all?"

Zara shakes her head, "She's dealing." Zara said.

Miss Moore sighs, "She'll get through it. I know she has friends close to her that will help her through this."

Zara placed her laptop in her bag, "I was planning on taking a trip to Norland over the next weekend when things die down to visit. I know Nate is probably going to get some time to come home as well."

Miss Moore nods, "Good. She needs the support now."

The teens come over with a confused expression, "Uh? What's going on?" Hunter asks.

Miss Moore turns to the teens, "Um- just some ranger business in Norland." Miss Moore said.

KZ could sense the sadness, "You sure?"

Zara nods, "Yeah. We should get you to the Batcave." She said.

Jared nods as he exchanged looks with the team, "Yeah sure."

---

UPON ARRIVING to the Batcave, the team noticed two more adults there. Which was stranger than usual. They seemed to be good friends of Adam, because they were laughing and what not. Miss Moore could not make it, she was going to Skype her boyfriend. Zara had returned to further research and also see if Adam had heard the news.

Adam turns to Zara and frowns, "How is she?"

Zara shakes her head, "I called Terra. She told me Roxxy is a complete mess." Zara said.

The Jurassic team exchanged looks, still on the outside of this whole situation. Both Adam and Zara seemed sadden by this, as well as Adam's friends. This moment of silence ended when Zara gains Adam's attention to the young teens in the cave.

"Well, I am going to handle the zords codes. On the meantime, you guys might as well introduce yourselves to the next generation." Zara said as she pointed to Adam's friends.

"It's good to see you again, Zara," Said the female friend, "Hi I am Tanya. I am the former Yellow Zeo Ranger."

"I am Rocky. I use to be the Red Ranger and also the Blue Zeo Ranger." Rocky said.

KZ nods, "I'm KZ and I'm the Pink Jurassic Ranger." She said.

Hunter waves his hand, "I'm Hunter and I'm the Green Jurassic Ranger." Hunter said.

Omar grins, "The name is Omar and I'm the Blue Jurassic Ranger." He said.

Jenny smiles, "I am Jenny and I am the Yellow Jurassic Ranger."

Artie awkwardly smiles, "I'm Artie and I'm the Black Jurassic Ranger." It was weird for him to say out loud.

Jared then stepped in, "I'm Jared and I am the Red Jurassic Ranger." He said.

Rocky nudged Adam, "Jurassic? As in dinosaurs, wow. Reminds me of the good old days." Rocky said.

Hunter and Omar exchanged confused looks, "Huh?" "What?"

Tanya shakes her head, "Never mind."

Artie then adds, "So um sorry if it sounds rude but what is going on that Zara told Miss Moore about?"

Adam glanced at his friends and then turned to Zara at the computer, Zara turned in the chair and faced them. Zara stood up and walked over, she seemed upset and is unable to fake a smile.

"Guys, this really isn't your concern. You don't even know the Beast Rangers." Zara said.

Hunter crosses his arms on his chest, "So?"

KZ then moves in, "What he means is, we are just as worried." KZ said.

Jenny nods, "And if it relates to rangers, doesn't that relate to us?"

Zara sighs, "I guess you're right."

Jared turns to Zara, "So what's up?" He asks.

Zara glanced at Adam and then turned back to the others, "I got a phone call from a former ranger, Ally Verde, the Pink Beast Ranger. She told me that Roxanne Dennis', former Orange Beast Ranger, mother passed away."

Jenny and KZ both sorta gasped. Hunter frowns as he thinks about his mom being his whole world. Omar shakes his head with a sad look. Artie knows what its like to not have a mom anymore, since his mom abandoned him. Jared looks down and shakes his head.

"Her mother, Diana Dennis, had been battling cancer for quite sometime. The doctors weren't positive at first. Though, after time her health was looking better. Even so that the cancer went away. But this morning, Roxanne found her mom having trouble breathing and called for a squad. She didn't make it." Zara said.

Jared shakes his head, "Damn shame." He said.

Adam turns to Zara, "I spoke to Zack last over the weekend. He must feel bad for not being there."

"Zack Calvin? Former Red Beast Ranger?" Jenny asks.

Adam nods, "Him and Roxxane are engaged to be married."

Hunter swears under his breathe, as Jenny holds his hand. Artie turns to his brother to see Jared being hugged by KZ. Omar turns to Artie and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Zara removed the sorrow, "Enough about that. Let's just- just keep going." She said.

Zara went back to the computer. She sat back down and avoided any more kind of socializing. She continued on her work on the codes.

Adam clapped his hands, "Let's just start training."

Before anything can be said, the alarm went off. The teens all exchanged looks and ran out of the cave. Tanya and Rocky glanced at Adam, the three grin.

---

The teens arrived at the park all morphed up. And before them were dinobots. The six of them exchange looks before nodding, then charging into the fight. Jenny ducked a punch from a dinobot, and then blasted her blaster at one of the bots. KZ jumped in the air and landed on top of a few dinobots.

Hunter and Artie were back to back, both guys were slashing their blades at the dinobots. Omar swung his spear at a row of dinobots coming near him, and then turned to see one coming near him. That one was stopped by Jared, who slashed at that one. Then Jared turned and slash at a crowd of dinobots coming over.

Jared turns to see none other than a hybrid beast there. This creature was a bird mix pig creature. This creature flew at the rangers and they all rolled to avoid the large feet of the creature.

"What the hell is that?" Hunter asks.

Artie shrugs his shoulders, "Another hybrid."

Jenny turns to the other Scott, "Obviously."

This creature landed behind the rangers and they turned around to see this large creature. It was a peach color skin, with red eyes, a beak, and dark feathers. It had a smirk appear on its bird like face.

"Why hello, rangers. My name is 007." 007 said.

KZ rolls her eyes, "Of course."

Jared holds his blade tightly, "Don't lower your guard."

They all nod, "Right."

The rangers bolted at the creature. Omar went in first, but the bird pig thing swung his feathers causing a large gust of wind. Omar went back but managed to stand. Hunter and Artie went over to slash the creature, but 007 shot out dark feathers that exploded.

Hunter and Artie stumbled to stand. Jenny fired her blaster at the creature. 007 went to charge at Jenny, but KZ went over to him. KZ tackled the 007 down, but the creature rose up. He knocked KZ down, which sent Jared to protect her from 007 from causing anymore damage.

"Stay back," Jared said.

007 paused.

Jared had his right arm covering half of KZ's body while the left hand holds his sword, 007 seemed a bit uncertain by this. The creature cocked his head and just stared at the two rangers, until there was a blast from behind.

007 turned around to see Jenny holding her blaster, "Get back."

007 went to charge over but then was kicked on the side of the face by another Blue Ranger, as well as another Green and Yellow Ranger. The Blue Ranger had a triangle on the helmet, the Yellow Ranger had two lines on the helmet, and the Green Ranger had one rectangle on the helmet. These were the Zeo Rangers.

"Adam?" Hunter spoke.

Adam held his zeo blaster and fired at the creature, the beast hissed and then went toward the veteran rangers. Rocky jumped in the air and landed behind the creature, Rocky grabbed the shoulders of the beast and flipped it on the ground.

Tanya delivered a kick on the stomach on the beast. 007 stumbled up and then turned to see the three Zeo Rangers as well as the six Jurassic Rangers stand in a row, then all delivered a final blow. There was an explosion and then hybrid was gone.

The nine powered down and then the teens approached the veterans.

 "Whoa!"

"Amazing!"

"You're cool!"

"Awesome!"

"We did it!"

"We won!"

Omar nudged Adam, "Dude you need to go into battle more often."

Adam shrugs, "I don't know."

Tanya smiles, "Why not, Adam? I kinda missed it, what about you, Rocky?" Tanya asks.

Rocky nods, "Ditto."

Adam rubs the back of his neck, "I mean it was fun with you two. It would have been more fun if Tommy and Katherine were here." He said.

Rocky grins, "Bring them on then. Let us have a Zeo reunion." Rocky said.

Tanya smiles, "I'm down for that."

Jenny nudges in, "If that means we'll met new rangers, I'm in."

Hunter nods.

KZ grins, "Oh buddy, learning all of Adam's secrets would be fun." She said.

Adam shakes his head, "No."

The teens as well as the adults laughed. Rocky suggested that they go celebrate. So the teens mentioned Smooth Grove, so as they are heading off in that direction all of the teens and Rocky were ahead besides Adam and Tanya.

Adam turns to Tanya, "It's good to see you again."

Tanya smiles, "You too. I've always wanted to see you." She said.

"Why didn't you?" He asks.

Tanya frowns, "You know why, Adam." She said.

Adam sighs, "Yeah that stupid fight."

Tanya shakes her head, "Not just the fight. We were holding each other back, and we were making each other unhappy." She said.

Adam frowns, "I wasn't unhappy. Tanya, I was- heartbroken when we broke up." He said.

Tanya turns to him, "Adam?"

Adam sighs, "Look I know now is not the best time to mention this but since we broke up I hadn't been able to get over you." He said.

Tanya grabs his arm, "Adam? Are you serious?"

Adam nods, "Yeah."

Tanya frowns as well, "I couldn't stop thinking about you either." She said.

The two exchanged looks and then continued to walk in the direction of Smooth Grove.

A GIRL with short brown hair to her jawline, brown eyes, white skin tone, skinny, average height and weight. Got out of a car. She was wearing a black t-shirt, grey and black flannel over top, black skinny jeans, and black converse with grey laces.

"Did we have to move, Landon?" She asks.

Landon, her older brother, has the same hair and eye color. Both sharing same skin tone but is 6'4". Stepping out of the other side of the school was a guy who looked exactly like Landon.

"Yes, Gwen." Landon said.

The twin nods as well, "He's right."

Gwen pouts, "Whatever, Lance."

The three stare at the new home and then turned around to hear the sounds of teenagers walking to the house directly across the street. It was the team of rangers.

"Maybe this move might not be so bad." Gwen said as she eyed the boys in the group.
