This is a PRNS fic just if you want to know, a spin off of the series, a different take of what happens at one point of the show. This fic continues shortly after 'A Samurai's Journey' episodes so the episodes following that, won't happen or will happen but will be changed to fit the story. And as you know if you check out my other stories I'm a slash fan so this will have slash in it, meaning male/male relationships. So if you don't like that sort of thing then go read something else. This fic will also have some elements from the anime 'Ninja Cadets' later in the story. Well after that explanation let get on with the fic.
Pairings: Well I can tell you right away that one will be Blake/Tori. For the slash pairing Hunter/OC will be one and I might put another but I'm not sure yet. I'm still figuring out what other pairings I'm putting in. Maybe Shane/OC, Dustin/OC, Cam/OC, Dustin/OC (slash), Dustin/Cam.
Chapter 1 - Secrets Known
It was after school, Hunter, Blake along with Dustin had cleaned up and closed Storm Chargers and now the two brothers were at home doing their homework. Blake looked up from the math problem he was working on and looked at his brother.
Hunter had his history book open but he wasn't really doing any of the work. He was in one of his dark brooding moods where his mind wanders off somewhere, cutting himself off from the outside world. Every time he's like this, Blake worries about him knowing he has some sort of personal problem he's dealing with.
He thought that his brother started to be like this when their adoptive parents died then the attack on their ninja school and captured of their sensei. Blake thought that after finding out their parents were killed by Lothor and not the wind ninja sensei, that he will eventually leave those moods behind. But his brother is dealing with something else and he is going to find out what it is and helps him with it, if it's the last thing he do.
"Hunter." Blake called out to his brother but got no response.
"Hunter!" he tried again a bit more louder but still nothing.
"Bro!" shouted the navy ranger.
Seeing calling his brother won't help, so in frustration he slammed his math book shut. As the sound of a book slamming shut echoed through the room, Hunter jumped a bit and blinked his eyes and looked around to see what was wrong.
"Well finally." stated Blake.
"Blake, what wrong? You need help on something?" asked Hunter.
"Not as much as you."
Blake stood up where he was sitting and walked over to his brother and sat down beside him and looked at Hunter.
"Alright, what's wrong?" questioned Blake.
"What do you mean? There's nothing wrong." answered Hunter with this weird look on his face.
"Don't lie to me. I know something is bothering you and I want to know what it is so I can help you for once like you did for me like always. I thought at first it was because the death of our parents then with the capturing of our ninja school and sensei.
But I thought after finding out that Lothor was the one who killed them that you would get out of these moods. But you aren't so something else must be bothering you and I want to know what it is." said the navy ranger.
"Its nothing." stated Hunter as he quieted down and looked down and stared at the tabletop.
'Should I tell him? But what if he hates me.' thought the crimson ranger.
"Hunter we're brothers and no matter what we'll get through whatever going on with you together. So tell me, please?" begged Blake.
"I'm afraid that you will hate me." whispered Hunter.
"Whatever it is I won't hate you for it. You're my brother, even we're not related by blood but you're the only family I have left. So you got to trust me."
"I don't know."
Blake sighed not knowing what to do.
"What if I take a guess." started Blake.
'Like if you can get it right.' Hunter thought and just shrugged.
"Let see... hmmmmm." Blake thought as he placed his hand under his chin. "You're gay."
After saying that Hunter looked up at his little brother with wide eyes with a bit of relieve and fear in them.
"By the look on your face, I say that I guessed right."
"Why you say that first?" asked Hunter with a bit of relieve.
"Most teenagers these day when they have personal problems it must be very deep. Since I know it's not about drugs or anything then my second guess would be sexual preferences."
"So you're not mad or hate me for it?" asked Hunter hesitantly.
"Is that what you're worry about? You being gay? You're my brother, I love you no matter what. Even if you are more interested in guys then girls. I thought you want to leave the rangers or something." joked Blake.
"And what? Take you away from Tori?" teased his big brother relieved that Blake is okay with him being gay.
"Ha ha ha, very funny. So you got a boyfriend?" Blake asked trying to change the subject from his love life.
"I just came to terms with myself only awhile ago, so no."
"Are you going to tell the others?" asked the navy ranger.
"I'm not sure."
"You should tell them, they're our friends. They won't judge you know. I know Tori is quite opened minded about things and sensei Kinoi and Cam will be okay with it. They convinced us to stay as rangers and keep our power even we almost destroyed their sensei." putted Blake.
"I still need to think about it." replied the crimson ninja.
"Alright, enough talking. We better finish our homework its getting late." suggested the navy ninja, he smiled at his brother and patted him on the back and went back to do his math problems.
Hunter just smiled back and was relieved that his most feared secret was flushed out his system and he went back reading his history book.
The next day...
Hunter had woken up more rested then ever and more happier with his life. After the conversation with his brother the night before he had taken a lot of weight of his shoulders.
He and Blake were at Storm Chargers unpacking some boxes of supplies that came in. Dustin was working at the counter, Shane and Tori was in the lobby talking to each other. Later Dustin joined them started laugh at something. Then Hunter and Blake joined them, wanting to know what was going on.
"What are you guys laughing about?" asked Hunter curiously.
"We just were playing a game of telling secrets and stuff." replied Shane.
"Telling secrets?" stated Blake.
"I have no idea why we even started this conversation." said Tori.
"Because it is fun to know something about someone we don't know about." added Dustin.
As everyone started to talk again, Hunter was deep in thought if he should tell the rest of his friends his secret.
In space...
"Tell me what you're hiding!" a voice shouted.
"I have nothing to hide!" shouted another voice.
Lothor's two alien nieces were arguing again. The evil space ninja came out of his chambers to see what is it now.
"Would you two be quiet! What are you two blabbering about now!"
"She's hiding something from me!" shouted Marah.
"I'm not!" Kapri shouted back.
"Enough, of these secrets already. If there are no secrets, then we would have more peace and quiet and no betrayals in the universe." stated Lothor as he rubbed his forehead.
"Sir! I have the perfect person to do that job. May I present you...Bottet!" introduced General Zurgane.
Then a monster walked out into the middle of the room. It had a bottle cap on its head and the top half of its body was a shape of a bottle. On its shoulders were corked bottle tops and its entire body was a light blue colour.
"And how is this recyclable trash is going to help me take over the world." asked Lothor.
"He has the power to make people tell their most darkest secrets. With everyone tell their secrets it will create chaos everywhere even between the rangers."
"Let me demonstrate." said the monster and it shot an energy beam at the two sisters.
Once the energy beam hits them, they faced each other and started to argue.
"You want to know what I'm hiding, fine your hair looks like a dead animal." shouted Kapri.
"Oh yeah, you're hair looks like bubble gum exploded all over it." Marah argued back.
After the demonstration, Lothor was impressed.
"Ah, good then go and take care of the rangers then." ordered the space ninja.
"Yes sir." and the monster disappeared from sight.
At Storm Chargers...
The guys had long finished their game of secret telling and Hunter still hadn't told the other of his biggest secret. Suddenly Shane's morpher beeped.
"Shane here." said the red wind ranger.
"There is a monster disturbance at downtown." informed Cam.
"We're on our way. We'll meet you down there."
Everyone looked around making sure the coast was clear before morphing.
"Ninja Storm, Ranger form. Hah!" Shane, Tori and Dustin called out.
"Thunder Storm, Ranger form." called out Hunter and Blake at the same time and everyone morphed.
The rangers appeared in front of the monster.
"Ah, rangers. Finally for you to show up. Have you ever heard of secrets that are kept that can also can destroy the connection between people." stated the monster.
"What are you talking about, man?" asked Dustin.
"This!" and Bottet thrust both of its hands out at the rangers and released an energy wave at them.
The wave of energy went pass them giving them a slight tingling sensation.
"What's that suppose to do? Tickle us." said Tori.
"Come on, guys." said Shane as he about to walk forward.
"Who died and made you boss." putted Hunter.
"Hey shut it Thunder boy." added Dustin.
"You know you are such an air-head." Blake told Dustin.
"Looks who's talking, at least I don't have a gay brother." replied Tori.
"You guys are so childish." Cam added.
"You're such a computer nerd, geek!" putted Shane.
And the ranger kept on arguing on like that while Bottet watched on with amusement.
"Kelzaks!" shouted Bottet and a dozen of Kelzaks appeared in front of him.
"Attack!" and the Kelzaks rushed towards the rangers.
"We'll finished this later." shouted Shane as pulled out his ninja sword and started to slash through the Kelzaks.
Dustin and Tori pulled out their ninja swords while Hunter and Blake pulled out their thunder staffs and Cam his samurai sabre and joined Shane attacking the Kelzaks. They made short work out of the Kelzaks in no time and now was facing Bottet again.
Quickly the monster released a range of energy blasts at them and they got hit and was sent sprawling to the ground. Then out of nowhere the bottle monster pulled out club like bottles with spikes coming out of them.
The creature rushed forward and started to attack the rangers with his bottle-spiked clubs, blocking the ranger's weapons and hitting them with his own. Once the monster went pass them the rangers struggled to get up and eventually got on their feet again.
Bottet quickly threw out another blast of energy at them and immediately all of them went into a ninja stance and they were hit but the only thing left was their suits.
"Huh? Where did they go?" the bottle monster looked around.
Then the wind rangers jumped out of nowhere, did a forward flip with their swords out and slashed right down at Bottet destroying its clubs. Then the thunder rangers jumped out and both kicked the monster then followed by the samurai ranger with a sword slash and sent it flying.
The rangers then took out their weapons to form their cannons.
"Storm Striker!"
"Thunder Blaster!"
"Fire!" and both teams pulled their trigger.
"Not so fast!" and the monster pulled out a bottle and the energy attack of the ranger's weapons was sucked in.
"What the..." started Shane.
"Impossible!" stated Hunter.
"Thanks for the energy, why don't you take it back!" and the energy from the ranger's weapons shot right back out at them and they fell back to the ground.
"Now what?" asked Tori as she and the rest tries to get up.
"I got an idea, try and fire your blasters separately." suggested Cam.
"But he will just suck them up again!" putted Dustin.
"Just trust me."
And the rangers got up on their feet again and aimed their blasters at Bottet again.
"Again? Haven't you learned the first time. Give me your best shot!" the monster shouted getting ready.
"Storm Striker! Fire!" and a energy ball flew right towards Bottet and like before it sucked up the attack with its bottle.
"Thunder Rangers, now!" ordered Cam.
"Thunder Blaster! Fire!" and another energy ball flew at Bottet but this time it didn't had time to switch to another bottle so both ranger attack collided within the bottle and the monster was blasted on the spot.
Seeing the opening the rangers together formed the Thunderstorm Cannon.
"Thunderstorm Cannon! Full Power!"
The energy attack hit Bottet dead on and it was destroyed.
"Alright!" everyone shouted.
On Lothor's ship...
"Oh, those rangers, it was so close! Scroll of Empowerment. Descend!" Lothor who was frustrated.
The magic scroll shot out from the ship and unravelled itself and the monster Bottet grew huge in size.
"Hah hah hah hah hah! How about rangers in a bottle!" laughed the bottle monster.
"Cyber Cam..." started Shane.
"I know the drill dudes. Sending the zords!"
The zords came and the rangers jumped right up and into them and formed into the three megazords the Storm Megazord, Thunder Megazord and Samurai Star Megazord.
"Come on!" shouted the monster and it launched out a blast of energy at them hitting on the spot.
The Storm Megazord called upon the Squid Drill and Lion Laser and performed the Turbine Combo.
"Turbine Combo!" and multiple energy shot flew at Bottet but it just used its bottle to suck up the attack then released it back at the zords.
"Bee Spinner!" and the Samurai Star launched out its bee top but Bottet just hit it with its club and send it right at the Storm Megazord.
"Spin Blade!" but before the Thunder Megazord could get a hit the bottle creature threw its clubs at it knocking it down.
"What should we do!" called out Tori.
"Try the Thunderstorm Megazord!" suggested Cam and Shane and Hunter put in their disk in the slot and called out the Minizord.
"I am Minizord! Storm Megazord, Thunder Megazord combine. Thunderstorm Megazord formation."
And the Thunderstorm Megazord was formed.
"You think that will stop me!" shouted the monster.
"We'll just see. Time to send you to the recycling bin, Lion Blaster Activate!" shouted the rangers and attacked the monster.
Bottet tried to use its bottle again but the force was too powerful and it was destroyed.
At Ninja Ops...
The rangers were back from fighting the monster and Hunter pulled Tori aside to talk.
"Tori, can I talk to you for a second." asked the crimson ranger.
"Sure, what is it?" said the blue ranger.
"It was about today. How did you find out?"
"About what?"
Hunter took a deep breath, "About me being gay."
"Oh, that! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean anything bad about it, it just kind of slipped out." apologized Tori.
"I know you didn't mean it that way because of that bottle monster but how did you know?"
"Um, well..." started Tori.
"Its kind of my fault actually bro. I accidentally told her." Blake interrupted as he was listening to their conversation.
"Oh." stated Hunter as he looked down towards the floor.
"Look Hunter, I'm okay with it. There is nothing wrong with a person being gay, you are still my friend no matter what." Tori tried to cheer him up.
"Really?"
"Of course, so are you going to tell the others?" asked Tori.
"Since the truth is out, I suppose I should tell them." stated Hunter as he about to make the biggest announcement in his life.
"Don't worry bro, we're behind you all the way." supported Blake.
Hunter just smiled at his brother and his brother's girlfriend who were smiling back for support and faced the others.
"Everyone, I got something to tell you." started the crimson ninja.
Everyone turned to Hunter and was focusing on him now, waiting to hear what the crimson thunder ranger would say that was important.
Hunter looked around to each person who was watching him and he took a deep breath.
"I'm gay." and he waited for the verbal assault to come but none came, not even violence of any sort.
"Is that all you're going to say?" said Shane.
"Ah..." Hunter trying to find his voice.
"Dude, we know that already." stated Dustin.
"Huh?" Hunter gave an dumb expression, "How?"
"I got it from Tori."
"I heard it from Dustin." stated Shane.
"My father and I heard it from Shane." added Cam.
Hunter looked at Tori with an unbelievable expression.
"Sorry!" apologized the ranger of water as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Am I the last one to know these things." exclaimed Hunter.
"No dude, technically shouldn't you know these things first?" putted the yellow ranger.
"Ha ha ha, so you guys are okay with it?"
"Well duh! If we weren't, shouldn't we be rambling on by now."
"A ninja doesn't care if one is male or female or their sexual preference but who they really are themselves that count. Everyone chooses their own destiny in life, choices and paths are just the same." their sensei putted wisely.
"Yeah, we're still your friends no matter what." added Shane.
Hunter grinned and everyone went over and patted him on the back and gave group hugs.
