Hey, everyone's favourite nerd is back with a new idea!

Disclaimer: I only own my characters.

After the defeat of Lothor, the rangers went their separate ways and perused their own careers.

Shane, Tori and Dustin stayed at the Wind Ninja Academy to become teachers of their own respective groups. They were some of the strongest ninja to ever teach at the Academy and still stayed in touch with the others.

Blake and Hunter also separated. Hunter became a teacher at the Thunder Ninja Academy.

Blake pursued a professional career as a motocross champion that was achieved in less than a year. He kept in touch with all the ninjas and still practiced when he was alone and had free time.

Cam and his father were also still at the Wind Ninja Academy. Cam became one of the head teachers, specializing in the art of the samurai. Sensei was still the head of the Academy.

You'd think that there was no way any new evil would spring up and try to take Blue Bay Harbour.

That's where you're wrong.

Shane, Tori and Dustin were meditating where they were most in tune with their elements. Tori was by the waterfall where the secret location to ninja ops was located before it was destroyed. Shane was on a high cliff away from the people that could see him, embracing the pure air around him. Dustin was in one of the many meadows that surrounded the academy, he actually fell asleep. When he and the others finally snapped out of their reflection or slumber, they saw one of the many ninjas in front of them.

"Master Watanabe requests you presence now." All the ninja's sounded the same, a sense of urgency in their voices.

As quickly as anyone could even begin to blink, the three ninjas were in front of Sensei Watanabe. They noticed that Cam, Blake and Hunter were there as well.

"There has been an attack." Sensei cut right to the chase. "His name is Dao. He was sealed away may years ago but was somehow awakened. He has recruited many of the monsters from the Abyss of Evil and is now using them to try and destroy Blue Bay Harbour. You must all resume your duties as Power Rangers." Sensei then handed them a box, containing all of their morphers.

"But how is that possible? Our morphers don't work anymore." Tori asked.

"We got them to work again. Don't ask how. You don't want to know." Cam replied. If there was a way to fix something, Cam knew of it.

"We're in." Shane answered for the ninjas.

"Alright." Sensei said and as if right on cue, there was an alarm going off inside ninja ops.

Cyber Cam appeared in a quick flash. "Guys, there's an attack going on down town. Get down there asap!"

As the ninja's left quickly, they appeared down town in a ninja or thunder flash. In front of them were screaming and frantically running people. And what appeared to be-

"Kelzaks?" Dustin was surprised.

"Not a big shocker there." Shane muttered. "Ready!"

"Ready!"

"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form!"

"Thunder Storm! Ranger Form!"

"Samurai Storm! Ranger Form!"

"HA!"

With that, all of the rangers transformed into their ranger forms.

"Feels good to be back in uniform!" Tori said gleefully.

"Oh yeah!" Dustin drew his sword and the rangers attacked the kelzaks with gusto.

"They're still pretty weak!" Hunter laughed as he kicked one into a nearby car.

"Not much of a challenge." Blake said as he threw one into the air.

The battle between the rangers and the kelzaks went on for a few more minutes until they all disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"That was quick." Shane said.

"Too bad, I was just getting back into habit." Tori slumped.

Suddenly, a blast knocked all of the rangers off of their feet and onto the ground. "Ah!" Some of them cried out as they landed.

"Argh, what was that?" Hunter asked no one in particular.

"What the?" Cam was cut off as a figure approached them through the smoke slowly. It was clearly the silhouette of a young woman.

"Who is that?" Dustin asked.

"She's a power ranger!" Tori pointed out.

Indeed, the young woman was clad in a power ranger's uniform. It clearly held the traditional aspect of the skirt for the female. Her uniform, however, was jet black in the placed there would normally be colour. The helmet was fairly standard, except it looked slightly demonic. On her chest was a large symbol of Ying and Yang. Her arm held a black morpher as well.

"So," She drawled in a bored manner, "these are the famous Power Rangers. You don't seem like much."

"Who are you and whose side are you on?" Shane asked as he stood up with the other rangers.

"Who I am is really none of your business, as for whose side I'm on," She withdrew two small swords from her back and stood in an attack position, "I think it is fairly obvious."

"So she's our enemy?" Dustin asked.

"Not the smartest one, are you?" She taunted.

"I'll show you!" Dustin drew his sword from his back and charged at the enemy.

"Dustin, wait!" Hunter called.

The mysterious ranger merely jerked his sword from his hands with a rather strong kick and then kicked him in his middle, sending him flying back a few meters.

"Dustin!"

"Who's next?" She asked. All of the rangers charged at her with full force and the battle began.

She was skilled. She was fighting all of them off with the greatest of ease. The rangers were trying to make at least one hit on her but they couldn't even do that. She managed to throw Dustin and Hunter back onto the ground bellied up. Then went Shane and Cam and finally Blake and Tori. She stood over them with a sense of superiority and power.

"Like I said earlier, you're not that much." Her voice was bored. "We've gotten what we came for. Look me up if you get better." She turned on her heel and started to walk the other way only to jump in a flash of black light.

"Man that was brutal." Blake groaned as he struggled to get up.

"Who was she?" Cam asked no one in particular.

"And how is she so strong?" Shane asked.

The rangers transformed back to normal.

"You all should not be ashamed of the battle." Sensei said as they all sat in ninja ops.

"We got creamed sensei. Whoever she is, she was trained well." Tori added.

"She had a morpher." Shane said bluntly. "Whoever she's working for, they probably gave her that morpher. If find out who we're up against, we can probably find a way to take her."

The rangers sat in silence for a few moments trying to come up with an idea of some sort.

"Yo! Cam!" Cyber Cam appeared quickly. "Dude, you got an email from that book store."

Cam's eyes lit up. "What did it say?"

Cyber Cam looked bored. "Your book came in apparently. They said you can pick it up today if you want."

"Yes! Finally!" Cam stood up with a sudden conviction. He looked towards his father for approval.

"You've waited for this book for long enough Cameron. Go." His father smiled and nodded at him.

"Thanks dad! I'll be back soon guys!" He raced out of ninja ops, leaving everyone smiling at his antics.

"What's so great about a book?" Dustin asked.

"Cameron has been waiting for this book for over two months. It is about the art of the samurai and clearing one's mind during battle. It is very useful when fighting someone. Perhaps you all can use it when he is done. It might help you when you battle our new and unknown enemy." Sensei walked away. "I'm going to get some tea."

Cam opened the door to the Blue Bay Harbour book store, causing the little bell over head to give a light and merry jingle. It looked fairly bare and there was no one at the front desk. Cam walked into one of the many passageways into the shelves and massive stacks of books. He found himself in the spiritual section. Picking up a book about meditation, he thumbed through it.

He heard a small bang and thud from another section and decided to find out. His ears led him the fantasy section where a girl stood on a few large dictionaries trying to reach a book that was perched on one of the top shelves just out of her reach.

"Come on…" Cam heard her mumble as she stretched onto the tip toes of her black sneakers. She jumped a bit and grabbed the book, unfortunately causing the dictionaries to be off balance and her to slip. Using his reflexes and speed, Cam caught the young woman by putting one arm under her knees and the other supporting her back. "Ooof." She grunted closing her eyes and tilting her head down.

"Are you okay?" Cam asked.

"Yeah, I'm…" She trailed off as her face came into view and her eyes opened. She stared at Cam in awe and he stared back in the same way. Cam saw that she spotted a pair of thick glasses with a thick black frame. Behind her spectacles were two, wide and metallic grey eyes. Her lips were not plump but full and slightly parted. Cam thought she was really pretty all in all. "Fine." She said after a moment of silence and staring at the samurai.

"Good." Cam said softly, straightening up and still staring at the unknown girl.

"Um, you can put me down now." She blushed heavily and averted her eyes.

"Oh!" Cam flushed and gently removed the arm under her knees to set her down.

"Thank you." She said once she was up right. Cam took in her full appearance: Short and straight, light brown hair with bangs over her left eye, a plain black t-shirt with a small green heart on the left corner, a black and white wristband on her right wrist and dark blue jeans that appeared to be skinny. Cam couldn't help but smile at the little green heart on her shirt.

"No problem. You sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine. Just needed to get a book." She held up a paperback book that he recognized right away.

"Riders of the North. I've read that one before." Cam said. "It's one of my favourite fantasy books."

"Really? Mine too. I've read it tons of times in the library but wanted a copy to call my own." She smiled.

"Totally understandable." Cam smiled back. "My name's Cameron Watanabe. But people call me Cam." He held out his hand.

"I'm Molly St. Pierre." She took his hand and shook it. "Thanks for the save back there. I'm a bit of a klutz."

"Don't mention it." Cam said. The two smiled at each other.

"Ah! Hello Cameron." They turned to see an old woman with grey hair and a cane. "You received the message about your book I take it. It's up here at the front when you are ready." Her green eyes held a mysterious glint in them as she eyed the duo. "I'll leave you two alone."

Cam quirked an eyebrow in confusion until he realized that he was still holding Molly's hand. Molly must have realized the same thing because they quickly let go of each other.

"Well, I should go get my book." Cam said sheepishly.

"I should pay for mine." Molly smiled at the young man.

They went up to the front desk together, still smiling. After they both paid for their books, the shop owner gave them two coupons. "You both are two of the most loyal customers I've ever seen. I was hoping you two would come in sooner for these. They unfortunately expire today. Why don't you two go on a date or something you young people do these days?" The old lady was blunt.

Cam and Molly blushed heavily. With a small 'Thank you' towards the owner, they left the shop hoping that they were not as red-faced as they were in the store.

"I never thought she was so blunt before." Cam said as they stood outside the door.

"She's quite good at what she does." Molly looked at the coupon for a free smoothie. "Might as well use this today, seeing as it can't be used tomorrow." She looked at Cam. "You in?"

"Sure." They both walked towards the smoothie hut down the street. Cam ordered a banana strawberry smoothie while Molly got a mixed berry blitz. They sat on a bench close by, content with themselves.

Unfortunately, the moment turned into the awkward silence.

"So why haven't I seen you around town before?" Cam asked, breaking the silence.

"I just moved here with my foster parents. We arrived yesterday morning." Molly explained.

"Foster parents?" Cam asked.

"My real parents died when I was little."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't have anything to do with it?" Molly took a sip of her cold beverage.

Cam stayed silent. "If it makes you feel any better, I live with my dad. Mom died when I was a baby."

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?" Cam looked at her. The two exchanged a smile and chuckled lightly.

"So what is there to do exactly in Blue Bay Harbour?" Molly asked. "Besides getting free smoothies with nice people that one just meets in bookstores?"

Cam smiled. "Well, there are the motocross races that happen once in a while. A couple of my friends like to race, the beach, the skate park, the museum and some other things in between."

"Sounds like a fun. I've never been to a race before. You'll have to let me know when the next one is." Molly smiled again.

"It's actually tomorrow. I'll give you the directions." Cam told her the directions and they continued to talk to each other. They found out that Molly liked chemistry, Cam liked mechanics and technology, Molly's eyesight was much worse than Cam's, and they both read the same number of books within a week (14 or so). Cam looked at his watch and gasped. "We've been talking for over an hour! My dad's going to freak out! I was supposed to come right home!" Cam and Molly quickly got to their feet.

"My folks will flip!" Molly and Cam quickly threw out their empty smoothie cups. "Too bad we had to get back. It's was lucky that I met you."

Cam looked at the girl. "I had fun with you today Molly." Cam was just about to leave. "You remember where the track is right?"

"I have a fairly decent memory so I should be good." She smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Yeah, you will." Cam smiled once more before leaving the smiling girl.

"Cameron, where have you been?" His father asked once he entered ninja ops.

"Sorry dad, it won't happen again. I was getting a smoothie with a friend."

With that said, his father and all the other rangers turned to him.

"A friend? Really? Who?" Blake asked.

"I just met her today." Cam replied.

"Her?" Tori asked.

"Her name is Molly. We met at the book store. The owner gave us two coupons for a free smoothie so we went. She's really nice. We actually have a lot in common." Cam explained.

"Dude! You went on a date!" Dustin exclaimed.

"It wasn't a date."

"Sounds more like a blind date to me. Just meeting and the two of you hanging out alone with smoothies." Kapri walked into the room with her sister.

"Not a date. Just two friends-"

"You just met her." Marah butted in.

"It was not a date. She's nice but I've only known her for a few hours." Cam said once again.

"When are you two hanging out again?" Cyber Cam popped up.

Cam sighed. "She's meeting us at the motocross track. She's new in town so she asked there was to do. She's never seen motocross."

"Introducing the girlfriend to the friends, smooth. Next you have to introduce her to your dad and meet her parents and you're set bro." Hunter joked.

Cam sighed for what felt like the millionth time that day.
