"I CAN'T believe we got invited to Justin's party." Said Omar.

Jared and Omar were hanging out in Jared's bedroom. The two were hanging out before the big Halloween party at Justin's house. Justin is a kid in their grade who always held amazing Halloween parties since they were all in elementary school. Though, year after year they were never invited until this year. Justin had came to the gang of rangers during lunch and handed them all invitations.

Jared shrugs, "I mean it's shocking." Jared said.

Omar was sitting on Jared's bed, "Shocking? Dude, this is amazing!"

Jared shrugs again, "And you dressing up? Like everyone else?"

Omar nods, "Of course. You have to dress up or you can't show up." Omar said.

Jared sighs, "Yeah well I don't really like costumes."

Omar eyes his friend, "This coming from the Power Ranger."

Jared shakes his head, "Shut up."

Knocking on the bedroom door and then opening it was Artie, "Hey. Oh hi, Omar."

Omar waves, "Hey man."

Jared turns to Artie, "What's up?"

Artie grins, "Well it looks like I am invited to this party too."

Jared gave his brother a look, "How? You don't even know Justin?"

Artie nods, "Yeah but this girl- um Christy invited me as her date." He said.

Omar and Jared exchanged looks, "Good luck with her." Omar said.

"Why?" Artie frowns.

Jared grins, "She can get possessive." Jared said.

Artie rolls his eyes, "Or maybe you're just trying to keep me from the party." Artie said.

Jared chuckles, "Oh believe me I'm not."

Artie left the bedroom and then Omar asks Jared, "What are you gonna be for the party?"

Jared shrugs, "Dunno."

JENNY AND KZ were at the Halloween store last minute for KZ.

"I can't believe we were invited to that party." KZ said.

Jenny nods as she lifts up a costume, "I know. It's just weird." Jenny said.

KZ made a face at the costume in Jenny's hands, "No. I am not dressing up like Catwomen."

Jenny pouts, "Why not?"

KZ shakes her head, "I do not do tights."

Jenny rolls her eyes, "Coming from the superhero."

KZ and Jenny walked down to look at more costumes, KZ pulled out a costume of a pirate and turned to Jenny. Jenny made a face, and KZ made an annoyed look.

"What's wrong with a pirate?" KZ asks.

Jenny shakes her head, "I don't see you as a pirate."

KZ frowns, "Then what? Should I just grab my morpher and just go to the party?" KZ asks.

Jenny shakes her head again, "We'll find the right costume." Jenny assures.

KZ sighs, "Of course we will. Why does that party have to be a costume party?" KZ asks.

Jenny shrugs her shoulders, "Because it what Justin has done since the third grade." Jenny said.

THE NIGHT of the party, everyone who was anybody showed their faces at Justin Howard's house. His house was a large house, it was expected since his father was from a wealthy family. His house was practically a mansion. There were spooky decorations all over the estate, ranging from skeletons in the yard to fake grave stones. There was a smoke machine to make it more scary, though it was only to make him seem cooler since he could afford it.

 One by one the cars parked along side the house, and climbing out as quick as possible to be able to enter the coolest party ever. Jared climbed out of the driver side of his Chevy pick up truck, Omar got out first and then Artie climbed out behind him. The three guys were dressed for the party, even though Jared was against it. Waving them down was Jenny, who was standing by Hunter and KZ. The three guys walked over to the others, who were standing by the main entrance into the party.

"Hey guys," Jenny said.

"Nice costumes," Hunter said and then glanced to Jared, "Who are you suppose to be?"

Jared shrugs his shoulders, "Sam Winchester from Supernatural."

"Huh?" Omar asks.

Artie grins, "That show on the CW channel. Jared thinks its cool."

KZ looks at her boyfriend, "You kinda look like the actor- well sorta." She teased as she messed with Jared's shaggy hair.

Artie was dressed up as Rick from The Walking Dead, Omar was dressed as Soul from Soul Eater, Hunter was dressed up as the Tenth Doctor and he had Jenny be Rose Tyler, and lastly KZ was dressed as a punk rock star.

The gang exchanged looks before heading into the large house. Upon entering the house the teens were surprised to see the large amount of students who showed up, there must have been the entire senior class in just the main room. The music was playing loud, it was techno. Something to get the party going, like a rave. There was neon lights shinning around, screaming, and certainly "adult drinks" going around.

"Ready, big bro?" Artie asks leaning toward his brother.

Jared made a face, "Don't touch a single drop of liquor." He warned.

Artie raised his hands up, "Okay. Fine."

The gang watched as Artie screams like some of the students in the house and joined the crowd of dancers on the dance floor. The rest of the gang seemed pretty awkward amount the student body, up until Omar turned to the others.

"Come on guys, this is the first party we've been invited to. Let's make it worth it!" Omar shouted.

Hunter nods, "Omar has a point. Tonight we aren't losers." Hunter said.

Hunter turned to Jenny and dragged her onto the dance floor, Omar spotted Violet. She was dressed as Tifa from Final Fantasy Seven. Omar went over to his girl, kissed her on the head and the two went to the dance floor. KZ turned to her boyfriend and held onto his hand with a smile on her face, Jared looks down at her and sees her smile so he smiles back.

"Come on, Jared, let's have some fun tonight." She said.

Jared nods, "Okay."

---

THE PARTY was going well, the kids were enjoying themselves. Some were drinking and even doing drugs that would be frowned upon by their parents, but there were no adults. None. So the teens all felt free. Free from everything, and that included the rangers. They felt free, felt free from their duties as rangers. Even if it was for one night. Jared went to get drinks for himself and KZ, she followed him over and when they reached the punch bowl there was a kid who noticed Jared.

"Jared, right?" Asked the guy.

This guy was dressed up as Iron Man, though he did have tan skin and dark hair color. KZ was handed the cup and looked at her boyfriend, a bit worried. Usually if anyone knew Jared, it was about his mom and it was going to be some kind of mocking coming next. Though, Jared seemed more relaxed seeing this guy. He seemed friendly toward him.

"Francis?" Jared asks.

The guy named Francis nods, "Yeah its me."

KZ nudged her boyfriend, "Who?"

Jared turned to her, "He's an old friend. He was in my fourth grade class but moved after his dad got relocated to Unity Lakes." Jared said.

Francis nods, "He got a job as a teacher at that high school. Being some science teacher for about four years."

Jared turned to his old friend, "So what are you doing here?" He asks.

Francis shrugs, "Justin invites me to these things every year. This is the first time I've seen you here, I'm glad you showed up." Francis said.

Jared smiles, "Yeah- me too." He looked from Francis to his girlfriend.

"Your girlfriend? Oh, Jared, you sly dog." Francis said.

KZ smiles, "I'm KZ Walker."

"Nice to meet you, KZ." Francis said.

Across the room was Omar and Violet, she and him were with a few of her friends. These friends were kids who have deaf parents. They consisted of Peter, Becky, and Owen. Owen was dressed as a ninja, Peter was dressed up as Peter Parker from Spiderman, and Becky was dressed as Anna from Frozen. The group were talking about simple things, some things that seemed to bore Omar since he was not such a serious kind of guy.

"This party is seriously lame." Becky said.

Peter nods, "Indeed."

Owen nods.

Omar seemed shocked, "You kidding? This is amazing!"

The three made a face at Omar and then to Violet, "Interesting choice of boyfriend." Muttered Becky.

Violet grins awkwardly, "So he is having fun. So what?"

Owen turns to her and starts signing and the only thing Omar caught was "hearing people are annoying".

Omar turns to Owen, "You're hearing."

All eyes shoot from Omar to Violet, "You taught him how to sign?" Peter asks.

Violet shakes her head, "I didn't force him. He decided to since he wants my parents approval."

Becky rolls her eyes, "They won't approve of him." She said.

"Why is that? Because he's hearing, um Becky we're all hearing." Violet said.

Omar noticed the tension between them about that, this must have been an issues all her life. Dealing with the fact she was hearing but always an outsider to everyone else since her parents weren't like other parents. She may have the ability to hear but her folks did not, and she was apart of that community. She was deaf without being deaf.

"I'm gonna get some fresh air." Omar said and walked past them.

Omar walks past Hunter and Jenny as he exits the back door. Hunter and Jenny were sitting on a stair on the staircase. The two were practically cuddling on the stairs as they were drinking their own individual punch, leaning so close to each other it was comforting.

"This is fun, beats being at home alone." Jenny said.

Hunter nods, "Or babysitting my brother." He said.

Jenny turned to her boyfriend, "I am having fun. What about you?"

Hunter kisses her on the forehead, "I'm having a blast."

Jenny giggles, "I'm glad." She said.

The couple held onto each other's hand, forming smiles on their faces. The song, which is Bangarang by Skrillex, finished playing to play the next song. This song was a slower played song, it was Never Gonna Be Alone by Nickleback. Hunter turns to Jenny and stands up, he offers her his hands and forms a smile on his face.

"Milady, may I have this dance?" Hunter asks.

Jenny giggles, "You may." She takes his hand.

The two head toward the dance floor. The two dance through the entire song, happy as can be. Just holding onto one and other, that is until the entire house went black and a scream got everyone's attention. The moment the power came back on there was a familiar face, well a familiar face to the rangers that is.

Standing in the house was none other than Drago with a new monster, this monster looked like something from a freak show. The head of a pig, the body of a horse and yet standing on two feet, the hands of a bear, and the tail of a lizard.

"Where are the Power Rangers!" Shouted Drago.

A stoned kid came by Drago, "Whoa! Neat costumes."

The guy was obviously so high not to realize he was in danger. The new monster knocked the high kid down to the ground, and then grabbed a girl nearby. She screamed as the monster held onto her.

"I will not ask again, where are the Power Rangers!" Drago yelled.

---

"I WILL not ask again, where are the Power Rangers!" Drago yelled.

The rangers all ducked out of the crowd, Drago knew their identity. Which would end badly. Omar was standing by the back door, he went back outside and then quickly morphed into his Blue Ranger suit. Being armed with his usual spear, and knew if he'd get Drago and this new monster out of the house the others could join in as well without being spotted.

"Hey! I'm right here!" Omar yells.

KZ kept her head down, "Look the Blue Ranger!"

Drago turns, "Where is the rest of your gang?" He yells.

Omar smirked underneath his helmet, "Outside ready for you. Well unless you and your rejected circus friend are too chicken?" Omar teased.

Jared nudged KZ to quickly sneak off, they were heading off in the direction of the bedrooms. He found Artie making out with the head cheerleader, Jared quickly shut the door and then turned to the other bedroom. He and KZ climbed out and morphed as well. Quickly running over onto the same side where Omar was, the Pink and Red Ranger stood tall by their Blue Ranger. Drago sees Jared and he points at him.

"Red Ranger," Drago smirks, "We come face to face again."

Jared glares underneath his helmet, "Yes we have. Now if you want a fight, let's leave the innocent alone. They have nothing to do with this." Jared said.

Drago turned to his new "friend" the monster released the girl and the monsters began to walk past the kids, the students were all terrified and shaking. Upon reaching the back door, Drago stood in front of Jared. The two held their swords in their hands and just stared at each other.

"I am not the one you are going to fight, not today." Drago said and vanished.

This new monster charged at Jared, causing him to crash into Justin's pool. KZ and Omar were holding off against this beast, while inside Jenny and Hunter were trying to get everyone to leave which wasn't hard since these kids were scared out of their minds. After that was settled, the two morphed and joined their friends. Jared was pulled out of the pool by his cousin and her boyfriend, then the gang all stood in a line in front of this new beast.

"So who are you?" Hunter asks.

"004," The beast said.

"004? What kind of name is that?" Jenny asks.

004 smiled, "It means I am not the only one." He said and then charged at the rangers.

Hunter blocked the beast, 004 had been kicked in the back by Omar. 004 turns to the Blue Ranger and breaths fire at him. Luckily, Omar was able to quickly ducked or he'd be turned to ash. Jenny rolls and then open fires at the beast, 004 turns to the Yellow Ranger. He was about to breathe fire but instead felt a punch across his face, which was gone by Hunter. Jared ran in and slashed his blade at the monster. 004 fell into the side of Justin's house, 004 managed to stand up but only to barely stumble.

"Damn it," 004 said.

"You won't win," Jared said.

"Maybe so, but it doesn't mean it'll end after me." 004 said.

As the rangers could tell 004 was obviously no match for them, but why? The other enemy they've faced were much stronger, and that included Master Ripto, who could have easily taken down Jared, but instead this beast was slowly dying it seemed. 004 collapsed onto his knees and began chuckling, chuckling like a manic which was more scarier than anything. The rangers exchanged looks, these looks could be taken in any way they could underneath their helmets.

"What's so funny?" Jenny asks.

004 chuckled some more as blood escaped his mouth, "You think I am the only one- think again rangers. The master has plans, and I may be a test but- more will come." 004 said and then completely collapsed onto the ground.

The rangers all gave each other looks, and then powered down knowing that everyone had gone home. They stood at the body of 004, with confusion. The hybrid was strange, very strange.

"I don't- get it?" KZ asks.

"I know, he was suppose to destroy us but he was destroyed." Omar said.

Jared shakes his head, "He was a prototype. He was the test subject, and we gave them their test." He said looking at the body.

Jenny looked at her cousin, "You mean?"

Jared nods, "Yeah. It's just getting started."

The rangers all ended out of the backyard, without any witnesses well so they thought. Standing in the shadows was none other than Artie.

"What- just happened?" Artie asks.

---

THE NEXT day at the Scott home, Jared was in the living room watching his sister play Call of Duty. She was screaming at the TV like a crazy person, which made Jared chuckle as he could not read his novel. Brooke would turn to him and yell at him for laughing at her, which was a usual thing at the Scott home. Then in came Artie, he had a cup of pudding in his hands as well a spoon in his mouth. The boy noticed the action and decided to get in as well.

"What is it this time?" Artie asks.

"Noobs, the same old thing." Jared said.

"Shut up!" Brooke screams.

The two guys laughed and then Artie said to Jared, "Can I talk to you quietly?"

Jared nods and follows his half-brother into the kitchen. Jared watched as Artie put down his snack and then turned to his brother with a serious expression.

"What's up man?" Jared asks.

"That party, you vanished quickly." Artie spoke.

"So did you man, I couldn't find you." Jared said.

"Your truck was still at Justin's house after everyone all left." Artie said.

Jared nods, "Yeah I was looking for you. I thought you ran off." Jared said.

Arite knew his brother was lying but decided to going another way with this, "Okay well I want to ask you something. Something serious."

Jared nods, "Sure man." Jared said.

"You promise me you won't keep secrets, like important ones?" Artie asks.

Jared nods but looked confused, "Yeah man. Where is this coming from? Is it because of dad?" Jared asks.

Artie acted cool, "No- I mean since we are trying this whole brother thing out I thought we should at least be honest." Artie said.

Jared reached on the table and grabbed an apple, "Dude I am so honest with you."

Jared then exit the room. Artie turned to watch his brother leave the kitchen and return to the screaming filed living room.

"Liar," Artie said.
