AN: So, as is already stated, I read StarHawks "Try Me" and liked the idea so much that I decided to do my own. If you haven't read "Try Me" yet, then put this down and go read that first. I assure you, it's much better. And StarHawk, if you actually take the time to read this, I tried really hard not to rip off any of your ideas, but if you see any similarities let me know and I'll rewrite. The chapters will be titled by the Episode they take place in, so pay attention to that. As usual, don't forget to feed the author. Enjoy!
None of Your Business
Thunder Strangers Part 2
All he knew upon entering Ninja Ops was that something was seriously not right. Then the shooting pain in his head made him double over, and it was all he could do to keep breathing. He did hear the muffled sound of a voice he didn't recognize, and his father saying something about choices.
His father. Voices he didn't recognize. Which really only meant one thing: intruders. But the alarm hadn't gone off, which had to mean-
"Stay still, you little weasel!" The Crimson ranger shouted at his father. "You're coming with us!"
"He's a guinea pig," Cam corrected, struggling to stand back up. "And he isn't going anywhere."
The Crimson one turned at his words, and he couldn't see the Navy ranger, which was probably bad. "Blake!"
Cam rolled out of the way of a kick that came his way and just barely managed to get back on his feet before the flash of Navy came towards him. He spun, blocked a punch that he felt coming more than saw, and tried to get his bearings back.
The Thunder Rangers were in Ninja Ops, and he really should have seen this coming. They had morphers, and all they would need was the location.
Which Blake had easily gotten from Tori earlier that day.
He really should have changed the protocols on the entrance right after Tori left that morning. He had planned to, but had gotten a bit distracted when the fish lizard showed up again. There was no use worrying about what he should have done now that they were already inside, attacking him and trying to kidnap his father.
Cam managed to fend off the Navy ranger long enough to get to the other side of the room. He tapped a few controls on his computer before he felt the air that would mean a flying kick coming at his back, and he moved out of the way so that the Navy ranger's foot collided with his desk. It didn't stun him for very long, but it did give Cam the chance to check on his dad.
Or what would have been his dad, if he wasn't encased in a glowing hamster ball. The Crimson ranger was shaking it rather roughly, and Cam gritted his teeth.
"Stop that!" He yelled. This was probably a mistake, he realized, as he was now evading attacks from both the Crimson and Navy rangers.
Fending off Blake had been easy, but two rangers to one unmorphed computer geek? This was not going to end well.
The Crimson ranger came flying at him and Cam managed to grab onto his shoulder as he dodged, yanking him backwards. With the Crimson ranger off balance, Cam was able to bring his knee up into the Thunders gut with a satisfying crunch. Then the pain in his head was back, and he realized that the Navy ranger had hit him a second too late as he crumbled to the ground on top of the Crimson ranger.
The Crimson Thunder tossed him off to the ground and stood, and Cam wasn't even on his feet yet when the Thunder came towards him. Navy crossed his arms, apparently satisfied that the job was done, and Crimson picked him up by his shirt, like a schoolyard bully.
"You are so gonna pay for that." He warned. His visor opened then, to reveal a smirk of a man Cam knew he should recognize but didn't. "Any last words?"
"Yeah," Cam was holding onto the Crimson's arms to keep him from ripping his shirt, but he managed to grit out "Really bad idea!" before he let go to poke the Crimson ranger in the eyes.
This effectively crippled the Crimson ranger, but the Navy ranger lashed out at him so hard that he felt the air being knocked out of him before he was even hit.
He couldn't breath, could barely move, and he knew he'd lost. The Navy ranger attended to his brother, who looked like he was crying. Looked like it, anyway, because his eyes were watering fiercely from the attack, and that was as much satisfaction as Cam could ask for.
As he was starting to get his air back he saw the ranger move for him again, and he knew this time that he'd be finished if he didn't think of something fast.
Thankfully the Thunders heard the footsteps the same time he did, and they hoisted him up and dragged him back from the hallway into the shadows before he could say a word of warning.
The Crimson's hand was slapped over his mouth, and before he closed his visor he leaned over to whisper in Cam's ear.
"Good, but not good enough." He gloated. It was almost a compliment. Almost.
Cam thought though, that he was holding onto his arm a lot tighter than he needed to.
