History[]
Jungle Fury[]
Becoming a Ranger[]
Casey as the Red Jungle Fury Ranger.
After being at the Pai Zhua Academy for a week, Casey witnessed Jarrod attack Master Mao which resulted in the box that contained Dai Shi to fall open. After being sent to Ocean Bluff with Lily and Theo, Casey and the gang met Robert James ("RJ" for short), the owner of the Jungle Karma Pizza. After witnessing RJ taking down an attack from the Rinshi, Casey, Lily and Theo were given the Solar Morphers which enabled them to transform into the Jungle Fury Power Rangers. Though his first attempt at morphing failed, seeing Fran in trouble helped Casey to channel his animal spirit and morph into the Jungle Fury Red Ranger. 
TV STORY-Welcome to the Jungle
Facing Dai Shi[]
When the Rangers decided to retreat after trying to fight the Five Fingers of Poison, Casey and the others get knocked off their feet and witness the arrival of Jarrod, the Rangers were shocked to learn that Dai Shi was controlling Jarrod with Casey saying that it was bad enough when he was a jerk at the school.
Casey and Jarrod release their animal spirits
This angered Dai Shi, telling Casey that he'll pay for that humiliation. Casey decides to morph and fight Jarrod again, confident that he'll win since he beat him before. Unfortunately, Casey didn't took into account that Jarrod has the power of Dai Shi now, so he loses the fight and falls to the ground demorphed. Dai Shi decides Casey is not worth his time and send Stingerella forward who hits Casey with poison which was not lethal, but will cause Casey to be in a great deal of pain, as Dai Shi and his team vanishes, Theo and Lily race forward to the injured Casey and take him back to the base, where RJ says he's working on something new for Casey.
After Theo and Casey realized that Lily decided to fight Rantipede on her own, the two arrived right on time as the monster summoned several Rinshi. Casey then uses RJ's newest invention, the Strike Rider, to fight the army of Rinshis, with his new motorcycle and body armor he also manages to fight Camille in her chameleon form, defeating her quickly.

The Master's Test[]
When was time for the students to take their Master's test, which consisted of them beating their respective master's in a fight, a stressed Casey asks RJ for guidance in this final test, but RJ says that from here on out the rest is up to him. As the test begins, Casey fights Master Finn and (due to being a little unsure) starts copying the moves that his friends do during their respective fights.
Casey's Tiger Spirit beats Master Finn's Shark Spirit
Thanks to that Casey figures out what he has to do to beat the Master and releases his tiger spirit, which proceeds to defeat the shark spirit of Master Finn. Casey was confident that Master Finn will tell him he had passed the test (as this was the case for Lilly and Theo) but instead Master Finn tells Casey he has failed the test, Casey was upset, but Master Finn's word was final.
Later, while Casey is jogging in the woods, he finds Camille being rescued by Jarrod from the remaining Phantom Beasts, sent to assassinate her. This causes Casey to think that maybe there's still some humanity left in Jarrod and they might be able to liberate Jarrod from Dai Shi's grasp, but the others aren't as hopeful and have settled with simply destroying Dai Shi.

The Mega Rangers first see Casey tending to the tiger pit at the zoo, commenting on how he must be one with the tiger or that the tiger must be used to him being around as the tiger approached him without becoming hostile. While taking a break and grabbing a drink, Emma takes pictures of the zoo keeper, who puts on a coat with a cool symbol on the back.
While walking back from the zoo, Emma spots the same jacket being worn by a martial arts instructor at the park and asks him if he was the same person. Before they could talk any longer, their Morphers go off and they rush into battle.
