Casey was just a Cub
Student at Pai Zhuq, and had only been there a week, when his life
changed. After he stood up to Jarrod, and took up for the
little guy, Master Mao saw greatness in him. Mao chose Casey
to take Jarrod's place, in guarding the spirit of Dai Shi, along with
Theo & Lily. After
Dai Shi escaped, and Master Mao was destroyed, Casey, Theo &
Lily went to Ocean Bluff to find their new master, RJ. Now
with the powers of the Red Ranger at his command, Casey has to learn
how to be a leader. He all ready has the power & ability
to fight for good and stand up for those in trouble. But he
still has doubts about himself. Once
Casey mastered the Shark Technique from Master Finn, and the others
had Mastered their new techniques, the Rangers all thought they were
unbeatable. However, Dai Shi had been training with masters as
well. When they battled against the new more powerful Dai Shi,
the Rangers lost, and would have been destroyed had RJ not intervened
and gave himself. The
Rangers realized that their over confidence had been their downfall,
but they didn't let that get them down. The team journeyed to
the Spirit World, with the help of Master Mao. Once there,
they met their new Masters. Master Rilla sent Casey on his
journey to conquer his fears of the unknown. Upon completing
his journey, Casey not only gained the power to summon the Gorilla
Zord, but he also gained the power to morph into his Jungle Master
Mode. Casey's
Tiger Spirit was stolen from him by the Phantom Beast General Whiger.
But the Red Ranger learned, thanks to RJ, that the spirit does not
make the person stronger, but the person is what makes the spirit
stronger. While Casey was still able to morph and summon his
Zords, it took a heavier toll on him. Because
Whiger was unable to destroy Casey, his Rinzin powers were taken
away & he was banished by Dai Shi. In hopes of regaining
his honor, Whiger tried to battle Casey, but lost. During the
fight, Whiger was about to fall over the side of a cliff, but Casey
saved him. This kindness shown by Casey helped Whiger realize
that the Rangers were not his enemy, but Dai Shi was. In order
to repay the kindness shown to him, Whiger gave Casey his Tiger
Spirit back, just before he faded away. After
much of the year had passed, the time finally came to Casey, Theo
& Lily to go through their Pai Zhuq Masters Test. For his
test, Casey had to battle and defeat Master Finn. However,
Casey was not confident in himself, or his skills. So in his
battle, while he did manage to beat Master Finn, he did so by
watching what Theo & Lily did. It is for this reason that
Casey failed the test. A Pai Zhuq Master knows his or her way
& path, and cannot rely on others to show him how. Casey
took his failure hard, but when running to try and blow off some
steam, he discovered something very important. He saw Camille
being attacked by the last three Phantom Beast Warriors. Just
as she was about to be destroyed, Jarrod, the real true Jarrod,
jumped in, saved her & destroyed two of the three
warriors. Casey witnessed that Jarrod was still there, but
wasn't about fully help himself, due to the overwhelming power of
Dai Shi. When
Casey returned to JKP and tried to explain what he saw to Theo &
Lily, they refused to believe that Jarrod was good, or could even be
saved. Thus leaving Casey as the only one wanting to save
Jarrod. After
talking with Dominic and learning that Jarrod's childhood was the
reason behind him originally turning into a bully, Casey went to Dai
Shi's temple, to get Jarrod back. On his way, Master Mao
confronted Casey and tried to tell him that there was no hope left
for Jarrod. But Casey refused to believe that. Deep
down, Casey felt guilty for not only Jarrod's fall into Darkness,
but for Dai Shi escaping in the first place. Had Casey not
gone to Pai Zhuq, then Jarrod would not have gotten kicked out &
Dai Shi would not have been released. The Tiger warrior
continued on his own path, defying his original Master. When
Casey finally arrived, the battle between the Red Ranger & Dai
Shi began. Both fought hard, but the Red Ranger refused to
give up on himself & Jarrod. Finally, the Red Ranger was
able to beat Dai Shi, but instead of destroying him, he tested
Jarrod. He told him if Jarrod was really gone, then Dai Shi
could destroy him. When Casey turned his back to wait, Dai Shi
started to attack, but Jarrod stopped him. Through his
kindness & friendship, Casey was successful. Jarrod was
able to free himself from the spirit of Dai Shi. But
Dai Shi wasn't finished yet. The evil spirit attacked Jarrod,
and Camille for defending the human. Casey came to their
rescue and used his Tiger Spirit to attack and weaken Dai Shi,
allowing them to escape the temple. Casey
& Jarrod then fought alongside one another; Casey as the Red
Ranger & Jarrod as the Lion Warrior. Together they were
able to beat Scorch. After
Scorch was beaten, Casey's Master Stripes appeared on his arm.
RJ explained that when Casey chose to defy Master Mao & believe
in his own convictions, path to Master Hood became his destiny. In
the final battle against Dai Shi, it took help from Camille &
Jarrod to help weaken Dai Shi. But only the chosen three could
destroy Dai Shi. Together Casey, Theo & Lily reached a
level of power no one had ever achieved before. This powerful
attack was able to destroy Dai Shi for good. After
the battle was over and won, Casey became the new Master Teacher at
the Pai Zhuq school. |
