The Forgotten Bradley

by angellwings

Prologue: Forgotten

She crouched behind a rock as her brothers watched the unmorphed Ninja Storm Rangers. She hated this. Their voices sounded demented. What did Lothor do to them?

She grimaced as they cackled evilly.

I'll get you guys back, I promise. She thought as she watched them streak off.

She stood up from behind the rock , and walked to the spot her brothers had occupied. She smiled down at Tori, Dustin, and Shane. She sighed, and streaked toward them. She stopped a safe distance away and walked the rest of it.

"Hey guys!" She called as she approached the track.

"Hey Jeanie," Tori said as she walked over and hugged the girl. She had rich, dark brown hair, and bright green eyes.

Shane glanced at her apprehensively and then gave her a small wave. They all turned and watched Dustin zoom around the track. He wasn't quite on Hunter or Blake's level, but he was pretty awesome.

"He's really flying today." Geenie said with a smile.

"Yeah, he's been training his butt off lately with those Bradley guys."

She nodded and answered forebodingly, "He should be careful around those guys."

"Do you know them?" Shane asked her suspiciously.

"Dude, I'm new, I don't know anybody, but I've heard stories. They're pretty ruthless." She told him.

They didn't know she was a Bradley and she needed to keep it that way. They knew her as Jeanie Braxton, and not Imogene "Geenie" Bradley. If they found out things would get way confusing with Blake and Hunter.

Hunter was her older brother, and Blake was her adopted brother. She needed to find a way to stop them, and bring them to their senses. But how?

How could they not remember? The three of them were a team. They trained together as a unit. What had happened to make them forget her so easily?

"Are you okay?" Tori asked her with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just . . . thinking. It's no big deal." She said dismissively.

"So, are we going surfing later?"

"Heck yes! I am not missing it today. Today's waves are supposed to be sick." She said excitedly as she nudged Tori with her shoulder.

Dustin suddenly came cruising in from his last lap. Geenie smiled at him, and walked over.

"Nice run. Looks like you've decreased your lap time."

"Really?" He asked her as he got off the bike.

"Definitely, man. Have you been putting in a little extra training?"

"Yeah, with Hunter and Blake. You've seen them. They came into Storm Chargers the other day." He told her with a nod.

"Oh yeah, wow, they're pretty hard core. You sure you can handle that?" She asked him hesitantly as he took off some of his protective gear.

"No, I know I can't" He said plainly, "I've barely had to time to train period, let alone as much as those guys do."

"You'll be fine. Your the best rider in your class." She told him with a grin.

He nodded, "So are you working tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I got a call this afternoon about some idiot who tried to surf in those storm waves today, so I'm gonna be repairing his board all day tomorrow. You?"

"Yeah, but not for long. I'm just handling sales tomorrow."

"Lucky." She grumbled as she stuck her tongue out at him.

He laughed and loaded his bike into Tori's van, and the two of them made their way back to Shane and Tori.

"Hey Tori and I are going surfing later, you guys should totally come and hang out. It'll be fun." Geenie suggested with a smile.

"Yeah, I'll be there." Dustin said excitedly, "What about you man?"

"Well . . ." Shane hesitated, "I . . . can't. I've gotta meet the guys at the skate park in like ten minutes. So I'll just have to take a rain check."

Tori gave him a strange look, "But you just said you wanted to grab a bite."

"Yeah, you know . . . by myself . . . on the way to the park." He said with wide eyes and repetitive nods, "Later guys."

and with that Shane backed away from them, and ran for the park.

She glanced back and forth between Dustin and Tori, "So, does he not like me or something?"

"Why would you say that?" Tori asked as she feigned ignorance.

"He NEVER wants to hang out when I'm around. He always bails."

"It's not that Jeanie, He's just not good at the whole . . . new people thing." Dustin said politely.

She sighed, "Yeah, that's what it is."

Although in reality she doubted it was that at all. He didn't trust her, and she didn't know why.


The Prologue begins at the end of the episode "Looming Thunder". I hope you like it!!
