IN THE kitchen that early Thursday, Gwen was reaching into the fridge. She pulled out some milk and reached for a glass, she poured some in her glass while she heard the toaster go off. She quickly put the milk away and went for the toast. The girl yelped as it burnt her slightly, and then as she was basically juggling the toast she put the butter on it.

"Having issues, Gwen?" Lance asks.

Gwen turned around to see her older-younger brother.

"No." She said.

Lance chuckled as he went to the coffee maker. As he put some coffee grounds inside the machine, he glanced at his sister.

 "So, why are you up this early?" He asks.

Gwen took a bite of her toast, "What's with the questions?"

Lance shrugs his shoulders as he turned it on, "Just curious. I mean, all I hear from Landon is how you're keeping your life private from us. I just want to be involved, squirt." Lance said.

Gwen took a sip of milk, "I'm not being private. It's just, you never liked high school and well you know Landon. He was all A's and on the honor roll in every single grade. Heck, he makes the Dean's list in college. If I complain all he'll say is to try harder." She said.

Lance reached for a coffee mug and turned to face his sister.

"You know mister know-it-all, he just wants to make sure you're giving it your all." He said.

Gwen turns to her brother, "And you?"

Lance shrugs, "You're nearly done with high school. You've been accepted to the community college here. I think you've proved enough as is. I mean, you got into college. That's something I couldn't even do, even with Landon as my twin." Lance said.

Gwen frowns and placed her hand on her brother's shoulder, "Mom and dad didn't think of you as a disappointment."

Lance turned to her and shrugged, "Ah forget it. You might want to head out before Landon comes in and demands an explanation." He said.

Gwen forces a smile, "I'll see you after karate." She kisses Lance on the cheek.

Lance watched his sister grab her backpack and head out of the house. In through the back door came in their uncle and his brother Landon. Landon was talking with their uncle while his uncle was smoking. Though, it was a bit obvious that Landon had listened to the whole conversation.

"Lance," Landon started.

"I gotta go man," Lance was taking his cup of coffee, "Someone has to go to work."

Landon watched Lance grab his keys and leave the house. Landon frowns and then felt his uncle place his hand on his shoulders.

"Landon," Uncle Pete started, "They've grown up. They are their own person, maybe you should let it go."

THE TEENS were heading to the dojo before class to talk to Zara and Tia. It was a shame that Zack had to return to Norland, but after his short visit the rangers did enjoy his company. 

Hunter was whining how they'll have to take charge from a girl and so not only did KZ give him a piece of her mind but Gwen joined in. Artie and Jared both stayed out of their girlfriend's path of rage, while Omar and Jenny were trying to keep the situation calm.

As they crossed the cross walk, the teens saw a motorcycle. This motorcycle is custom and is yellow with black tiger stripes on it. The rangers couldn't help but stare at the motorcycle as they crossed the street. Omar was real impressed, actually all the guys were. The three girls didn't understand the interest in a motorcycle.

"I wonder who that is," Omar said as they stood on the sidewalk.

Hunter shrugs his shoulders, "I don't know but I like his ride." He said.

Jared turns to Hunter, "As much as you like motorcycles, it could be a girl who owns it." He said.

Hunter rolls his eyes, "You see that ride, why would a girl ride that?"

KZ and Gwen placed their hands on their hips, "Excuse me?"

Jenny lightly shoved her boyfriend, "Maybe you should stop talking."

Hunter goes to open his mouth and sees the expressions on both KZ's and Gwen's faces, which led Hunter to shut his mouth.

Meanwhile, Artie had a grin on his face. He nudged his older brother and Jared looked over at Artie. Jared raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Artie grins joining in, "Ten bucks it belongs to a girl."

Jared shrugs.

"Twenty." Jared smirks.

Gwen glanced between her boyfriend and his brother, "Seriously? You two?"

"Put ten down for a guy, too." Hunter said.

Jenny looks at her boyfriend, "Why are you even betting it?"

Hunter turns to her, "To prove I am right. I'll put twenty down for a guy owns it."

"Oh me too! I think it's a guy too!" Omar said, "Ten bucks!"

KZ shakes her head. Gwen rolls her eyes. Jenny looks from her boyfriend and just shakes her head with a bit of annoyance in her gaze.

Jenny sighs, "Boys."

KZ nods as she agrees with Jenny.

"Maybe it belongs to a veteran ranger." KZ points out.

Stepping out of a store was a young lady with a motorcycle helmet in hands. The rangers weren't paying much attention to the lady with the helmet, all did were paying attention to was when she put the helmet on and reached the motorcycle. She pulled out keys and started it up. Then the teens watched as the girl drives off on the cycle. 

Artie smirks, "Alright pay up."

Hunter groans.

Both Omar and Hunter reached into their wallets for the money, meanwhile both Jared and Artie were snickering. The girls, however, looked a bit annoyed.

The total money in the betting pool was sixty bucks, and the winners were none other than the Scott siblings. So, Jared and Artie split the winnings. 

"Come on guys." Jenny even motioned to Omar as she dragged Hunter.

Hunter and Omar began to groan at their defeat, mumbling words under their breathes. They reached the dojo and entered into to building. The motorcycle pulls up and the women takes her helmet off. 

Revealing that this individual was indeed nineteen years old as the helmet was taken off. As she removed the helmet, she shook her head which caused her now medium length brown hair to blow in the wind, she removed her sunglasses to reveal her blue eyes. She wore a black leather jacket, a yellow crop top, black skinny jeans, and black combat boots.

She kicked the kick stand down and smirked.

"Some things never change." She said.

---

IN THE cave, Tia was talking with Zara. Apparently, she had gotten a code from Alex, whom she is engaged to, to help translate the prophecy. He would have actually spent the time to translate it completely but due to his busy schedule in Europe, he could not. The teens were off working out and training like they usually do in the morning before school.

Artie noticed Gwen's frown as she held the punching bag for him.

Artie looks worried, "You okay?"

Gwen snapped out of her trance, "Of course, Sparky." She said.

Artie frowns, "You sure? I mean, its me." He said.

Gwen sighs, "Just- you know brother stuff." She said.

Artie stopped hitting the bag, "Lay it out for me." He said.

Gwen looks at him, "Well- I feel like things are changing with my relationship with my brothers." She said.

"How so?" He asks.

Gwen shrugs, "Landon is the genius in the family. He is on the dean's list, he's perfect. Lance is living the life he made for him. He is working a low paying job and living life like it's just endless. I'm just- I feel like I'm pushing them back and by doing so they are getting more protective." She said.

"Huh?" He spoke.

"I used to tell them everything, or at least tell Lance everything. I don't, because of this. It's hard not to tell Lance that I'm a superhero, but I know we can't unless there is a situation like Brooke or Beth." Gwen said.

Artie nods.

A part of Artie did feel a bit guilty. He and Jared have Brooke in the know, so they could rely on her to have their back if their dad was questioning anything, but usually didn't have to worry about that. Ryan Scott worked pretty late. Omar was lucky to have Beth in the know to actually cover for their parents.

"Just this morning I had a talk with my brother, Lance, and accused me of being private because of Landon. Then went to saying how I'm doing much better than him, as happy as he thinks he is I think he isn't." She said.

Artie holds her hand, "You're worried."

Gwen nods, "Yeah."

Artie kisses her on her cheek, "Look, the only advice I can give about brothers is not to push them out. They love you. Take it from me, I have Jared as my brother and he makes the biggest sacrifices for me. He'll lay his life down for me and Brooke. So, maybe you should talk to them. Explain you aren't being secretive or private, you're just being a teenager." He said.

Gwen smiles, "Thanks," She kisses him on the cheek.

He smiles, "No problem."

Just then you heard someone coming down to the cave, this made the rangers a bit alarmed. The two adult females didn't mention a visitor so this was a bit alarming. However, the teens turned to Zara and Tia to see neither or them alarmed or ready to fight in any way. Instead the two were busy in the translation. The rangers exchanged confusing glances and then saw the figure of a person walking down.

"What? No welcome party?" Said a female voice.

The entire people in the cave looked up. Zara stood up with a big smile and leaped out of her chair, Tia turned from the chair that Zara was sitting in and saw who it was. Tia held a smile on her face and placed her hands on her hips. Zara ran over as the figure came down the stairs. Now in the light the rangers could see the person, it was the girl who owns the motorcycle.

"Hunter-," Omar started.

Hunter shakes his head, "Don't even say it."

Zara hugs the girl and says, "I had no idea you were visiting Clover Hill."

The girl Zara was talking to only seemed like she was tall due to her combat boots, there was some small heel to them. In reality, this person was about the same height maybe short than KZ. Zara let go of the girl as they were bantering back and forth in order to catch up, though they were stopped by Tia clearing her throat.

"Terra," Tia started, "It's good to see you again."

Terra Sloane smiles, "You too, Tia. Last I saw you was at my graduation a year ago." She said.

Hunter seemed shocked, "Wait? You're our age?"

Terra nods and turns to Hunter, "Yeah. And I happen to be a veteran ranger." She crossed her arms on her chest.

Hunter lifted his hands up, "Whoa, you don't have to get defensive about it." He said.

Gwen smirks, "I like her." She said.

Jared steps in, "Not to sound rude but you must have been a younger ranger if you're a year out of high school." He said.

Terra nods, "I was the Yellow Beast Ranger and I was fifteen when I joined the teen."

Zara raised her hand, "I still hold the record of the youngest ranger. Being thirteen years old as the Gold Ranger." She smiles.

KZ then adds, "So you were on Zack's team then."

Terra nods, "He is like a brother to me, but then again from from a huge family that I have I had enough brothers. Though, none were like Zack Calvin." She said.

Gwen glanced at Terra at her comment, then turned back to the others. They had so many questions for Terra, though they were cut short by Tia interrupting them.

"We have to get to school," Tia said, "We can talk to Terra when we get back."

The others nod, "Okay." They said at the same time.

AT SCHOOL it was a college fair going on. There were people from these colleges talking to students, so there wasn't really anything serious going on for the seniors. This was a tradition at Clover Hill for the seniors who haven't been accepted to college yet or haven't made up their mind to speak to a speaker from that college. There were speakers from Academy Arts University, Clover Hills Community College, Meadowedge University, Norland Literary Arts, and much more.

As Gwen and Hunter were walking through the gym to look at booths with the college speakers, Gwen noticed Landon at the Clover Hills Tech University. Landon noticed Gwen, she watched him talk to another speaker with him to dismiss himself from the booth. 

Gwen groans loathing to speak to her brother, though Artie tried to make her smile. Coming over came Landon.

"Hey, Gwen." Landon completely ignored Artie.

Gwen sighs, "I shouldn't have been shocked to see you here." She said.

Landon nods, "Look can we talk?"

Gwen shakes her head, "Sorry, I have to look at the colleges."

Artie stops Gwen from leaving, "How about you talk and I'll meet you at Clover Hill Community College's booth." He said.

Gwen nods.

The Anderson siblings watched Artie walk off. Landon looked from Artie to his sister, Gwen watched Landon cross his arms on his chest and cock his head to the side.

"Community college? You and I both know a tech college or better yet a state college should be what you're trying to get into." Landon said.

Gwen groans.

"I mean it, Gwen. You get all mad at me for trying to help you with your future, but later you'll be thanking. I mean you're dating a guy who wants you to go to a community school, what's next? Doing something that won't help you become successful?" Landon asks.

Gwen glares, "Look, bro. What I decide to do is none of your business. I mean at least I am looking into college, you could be an uptight dick and go off on Lance for not going to college. But you aren't because you're too involved in making me grow up to be like you." Gwen said.

Landon frowns, "Gwen."

She shakes her head, "I thought when I talked to Lance this morning that I was pushing myself away from you two but in reality, I'm growing up and you cannot accept it." Gwen said.

Before Landon could say another word, Gwen became to walk off.

Across the gym, Jenny was speaking to a speaker about Meadowedge University with KZ. The speaker was impressed with Jenny's file, the speaker was also aware of KZ's scholarship to Meadowedge University. So for KZ, the speaker gave the girl some flyers with information about dorms and other activities at the university.

Omar was talking to a speaker about Academy of Arts University with Violet at the booth next to him at Gallaudet University, it is a school in Washington DC that is an all deaf school, but Violet was curious about it and maybe even wanted to go to be able to hang with her deaf friends and maybe even pursue a career in ASL.

Jared was speaking with a speaker at Norland Literary Arts. The speaker was going over his file, and minus the violent behaviors, the speaker was quite impressed with his high grades and his English teacher high recommendation for Jared to attend the university.

 Hunter was talking to a speaker at Clover Hill Community College, the speaker was saying how there is a swim team and it got Hunter's interest. Though, the speaker was being honest and saying that Reefside College has a better swim team than Clover Hill Community College. So it led Hunter to go speak to the Reefside College speaker instead.

Artie was standing by the Clover Hill Community College booth, there were some students speaking to the speakers and then Artie felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Landon.

"Hey," Artie said.

"Look, I don't know what you're doing to my sister but stop it. You and these friends are in the way of her future." Landon said.

"Landon, you don't know me or my friends but you can't just accuse us of that. If you knew your sister, you'd know that all she wanted to do was become an artist." He said.

"An artist," Landon started, "They don't make enough. How will she survive on artist career?"

Artie shrugs, "I don't know but it's what makes her happy. Maybe instead of being judgmental you could be happy with her choice." He said.

Artie noticed students leaving the community college booth.

"And if you excuse me, I have to talk to some speakers." Artie pushed past Landon.

GWEN SNEAKED out of the school and found Terra outside by her motorcycle. Gwen walked over to Terra, a bit confused that she was at their school around noon.

"Uh- what are you doing here?" Gwen asks.

"I could ask the same for you." Terra said.

Gwen shrugs, "I had to escape. It's college fair and my brother is in charge of a booth."

Terra smirks, "Let me guess, he's trying to control your future?"

Gwen nods.

"Look I may not have had my brothers controlling my future but I did have my brothers control me. They have been protective of me for, well since I was born." She said.

Gwen seemed confused, "Why?"

"Because I was the only girl in my family, after my mom passed away I was the only reminder of her. So my brothers were quite protective, and that includes my brothers, Leo and Michael. Those two were the worst. My older brother, Jimmy, he knew exactly everything about me and he knew how not to make me feel too crowded with attention. Heck, he is my best friend." Terra said.

Gwen nods, "So how do I deal with my brother?"

"With me, I just told Leo and Michael that they can't keep suffocating me or I'll just push away. They gave me my space but they still were watching over me, it comes with the title of being the youngest." Terra said.

Gwen sighs, "I doubt Landon would ever give me space." She said.

Terra smirks, "You'd be surprised."

Suddenly there was a crash coming from the school. Gwen heard her morpher beeping and then quickly morphed in front of Terra. Terra watched Gwen in her White Ranger suit run toward the gym, Terra held her helmet in her hands and then looked at the high school. A small smirk appeared on her face and then she placed her helmet on.

"The next generation are ready." Terra said.

---

THERE WAS some smoke filling the gym. The smoke detector was going off and some water spraying from the ceiling. Students and staff were beginning to panic, one of them was Landon Anderson. He was running through the smoke looking for his sister, but he had no luck on finding her. He did spot Artie trying to get others to safety.

"Where is Gwen?" Landon asks.

Artie shrugs, "I haven't see her since you two talked."

Landon rubbed his hands through his hair, "What?"

Artie felt his concern, "She might be outside." Artie said.

Landon turns to Artie, "I'm going to check one more time." Landon said.

Artie reached his hand out, "Landon!"

That didn't stop Landon. He was running through the panic people. He saw the half empty gym and didn't see his sister, as he went to turn back around to find the exit he saw a lizard beast standing in his path. Landon took in a deep breathe, but doing so made him cough due to the smoke in the building. The lizard was a fat lizard and there was smoke coming off the scale brown body.

Artie pushed past the last remaining crowd and saw the lizard in front of Landon, "Landon!"

The lizard switched glances to Artie, the lizard knew he was the Black Ranger. He slammed Landon back onto the ground and went to walk toward Artie. Artie swallowed as he watched the lizard coming near him. He wished he could morph but there were rules and he wasn't suppose to do so in front of anyone besides those who knew his secret. The lizard went to launch himself at Artie, though Artie dodged by rolling on the ground to avoid the lizard.

Landon shook it off and saw the lizard monster trying to harm Artie. Landon ran in and charged at the lizard, though the lizard grabbed Landon. Landon was being held tightly in the hand of the lizard, and he was yelling. It was at this moment Gwen had entered the gym in her suit. She saw Landon being harmed and gasped.

"Landon," Gwen said quietly, "Let go of him!"

The lizard dropped Landon, he grunted as he hit the ground. Artie ran over to help Landon out. Artie was helping carrying Landon out. As Artie was getting toward the exit, he sees the others in their suits with Gwen. Gwen turns to Artie and Landon, she nods at Artie, and watched her boyfriend leave the gym.

"Power of the Raptor!" Omar yells.

"Power of the Triceratops!" Hunter yells.

"Power of the Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Jared yells.

The three male rangers suits changed with the sleeves having the edges and their respected dinosaur on the helmet. Each of them nod to each other before running into the fight. KZ ran in first with her staff in her hands, she went to slam her staff against the side of her face but the lizard beast threw her back. 

KZ fell against some props for some booth for college and rolled off the table. Jenny began firing her blaster, she saw the beast coming near her so she ran. She dodged the first attempt to get her but the girl was not successful the second time, she felt the beast grab her ankle and toss her toward the same direction as KZ.

The boys ran in next, Gwen was waiting and hoping Artie could return to tell her of her brother's condition. Omar went to stab with his spear, though the lizard went to throw the ranger instead Omar kicked the lizard and then felt a large fist against the blue helmet. Omar was thrown a bit back and he stumbled as he rose back up. 

Hunter went slashing with Jared with their blades, the two complimented each other. As one dodged the other attacked. It was going well until the lizard beast grabbed Jared and threw him against Hunter, the two went flying back and rolled off a table of displays as well and stumbled onto the ground.

"Power of the Stegosaurus!" Artie shouts.

Gwen watched her boyfriend run past her and run into the fight. He pulled his blaster out and fired at the lizard beast, and then put it in its holster as he reached for his sword. He slashed at the beast and it did some damage much like the others had done but it was wasn't completely powerful enough to defeat him. 

As Artie went to deliver a side kick, the lizard grabbed Artie's leg and threw him toward the wall. Gwen gasped as she watched her boyfriend get thrown like that. Just like that the girl shakes her head as she made her fist tighter.

"I've had it!" Gwen yells.

Sudden white aura began to surround Gwen much like the others. Her suit began to change, with a newly added skirt and the sharp edges on the sleeves of the suit. Also the helmet having a saber tooth tiger on it instead of like before. Gwen pulled her sword out of the sheath and then pointed it at the lizard.

"Power of the Saber Tooth Tiger!" Gwen yells.

Gwen ran into the fight. She had a quicker speed than before. She delivered a successful side kick, which sent the creature falling onto its side. Gwen watched as the lizard began to stand up, she held her blade tightly and ran back in. 

Gwen launched in and stabbed her sword through the lizard. The lizard stumbled back as Gwen pulled her sword out of the beast. There was a small delay and then a small explosion occurred. Gwen turns to her friends and boyfriend who were stumbling to stand, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the sprinkler in the gym going off.

---

"GWEN!"

"Gwen!"

Gwen turned around to see Landon running over, he had a small bruise on his forehead. Gwen ditched being next to her friends and hugged her brother tightly. Landon held onto her as if she was going to be taken away from him. Landon knew the moment he couldn't find was the moment he felt the most worried about Gwen in his entire life.

"You're okay?" He asks.

Gwen brushed some of her hair behind her ear, "Yeah. And you?"

He nods, "Peaches. I couldn't find you anything, where did you run off too?"

Gwen had to quickly think of something and then saw the police showing up.

"I called the police. Someone needed to." Gwen said.

Landon nods, "You gave me quite a scare, but I am just happy you're safe." He said.

He hugs her again, "Sorry I scared you." She said.

Landon pulls back, "You have nothing to be sorry for. I've been a jerk, I keep forgetting what it's like to be a teenager. I- uh we have been through so much and I expected that taking charge and protecting you would be the right thing to do. I'm sorry, Gwen, I've been a real jerk." Landon said.

Gwen watches his face fall, "You may be right about that," Gwen lifts her brother's chin, "But I haven't been exactly an easy sister."

Landon nods, "But that doesn't matter anymore. We can start fresh. All of us." He said.

Gwen nods with a smile, "I'd like that." She then hugged her brother.

TIA AND Zara are in the cave when they hear the sound of beeping coming from the computer. Zara was typing something in the keyboard and then yells to get Tia to come over. Tia came over to see the prophecy translated in front of them, she leaned over Zara's chair. They exchanged looks as the two began to read the prophecy.

"Why do I have a feeling things are going to get bad soon?" Zara asks.

Tia sighs, "Because I have the same feeling." She said.

Zara looks at the screen, "Could this be about the kids?"

Tia nods, "But maybe more than just our kids. Maybe about another team as well."

Zara looks from the screen to Tia, "A red and another red, could that refer to Jared and another Red Ranger?"

Tia shrugs her shoulders, "Quincy or Corey."

Zara turns back to the screen while biting her thumb, "Or even a veteran ranger?"

"Maybe," Tia said.

As they read more of it Zara stopped toward the end, " Through Guidance from the Lights of the Moon and Star, could that refer to-?"

Tia nods, "That would make sense." Tia cut Zara off.

Zara turns to Tia, "Should we call anyone?"

Tia shakes her head, "We don't need to cause panic when nothing is going wrong. Besides, Connor told me there is some serious stuff going on at Reefside and the kids in Warrior Heights had completed their final battle, we don't need to drag them into this mess." Tia said.

Zara reached for her cell phone, "I'll at least call Adam. He needs to know."

Tia nods, "Okay. Tell him not to mention it until we can fully figure out who this prophecy is for." She said.

Zara nods as she scrolls through her phone, "Tia."

Tia looks down at Zara, "Yeah?"

"It wasn't like this," Zara started, "When we were rangers. It wasn't this stressful and dramatic?"

Tia grins, "No. I feel like our stress was nothing, but the final battle is something that no ranger will get off lucky. These kids will be put through the test." Tia said.

Zara nods, "Hope they are ready for it."

Tia turns to her, "They are ready for it."
