A/N: Hey guys! I'm back. For those who had faithfully read my stories in the past, I have returned once more. Hopefully I won't vanish. This is a new story I have decided to come up with - stealing all the elements of my old stories and creating something new and different. As much as I'm reusing some old material, I'm approaching the situations differently. Better. More adult to show different perspectives on life situations. More like life lessons in the lives of one of my favorite seasons. There will be all kinds of shippers. Dustin/Marah. Hunter/Tori. Etc. Who knows - That's the mystery. I'm not going to reveal too much of what the story is going to be about, to keep you guys in the dark and figuring it out on your own. I hope you like it!

P.S The first chapter is slow. Be patient! I decided not to dump the main core problem of the story in the first chapter. I wanted to make it unfold a bit more interesting.

Blue Bay Chronicle

Chapter 1

This Is Not The End -- Only The Beginning

It had been two months since Lothor was defeated. Peace had finally returned to Blue Bay Harbor, and the entire gang was finally able to go back to their normal lives. Although they missed the action and surprises that Lothor had thrown at them, they were able to finish High School and enjoy the rest of their summer before college. Things have changed for each and every one of them.

Shane was accepted to the University of Blue Bay. He had been having a lot of fun training his new underlings at the wind academy, but with working at Storm Chargers and skating tournaments, it made it harder to really hang out with his friends a lot. He had been working extremely hard in getting himself noticed with his skating skills. Kelly had been helping him out, but most of the magazines that he tried to work with never return his calls. He was ready to ride out whatever came at him.

Tori was still into surfing, but she knew she had to find other things to help relieve her stress when she went off to College. The thing with Blue Bay Harbor was that it was smacked on the other side of the city, away from the beaches. She too was helping the academy with the water ninjas, training them to their fullest extent. Not much was going on in her life, she had been staying in contact with Blake, hoping that he would just show up at her door step and sweep her off. He never did though, but that didn't mean that Tori couldn't keep dreaming. She had no idea though that her love life would be turned upside down.

Dustin was having a fantastic time doing his free styling. Storm Chargers and Kelly had been a 100 behind him, fully supporting and encouraging him to take the entire thing national. Ever since he stopped being a ranger, he had been focusing more on training his earth ninjas and free styling, that he had failed to send in his application for college. Figuring that college wasn't really his forte, he decided to at least attend classes at the Blue Gate Community College. He and Marah had been getting really close, although not officially dating, he had finally forgiven her for the Beevil incident. Life was going to be pretty interesting for him.

Hunter had distant himself for the gang. He would talk to them occasionally, but his focus on running the Thunder Academy took a lot of his time. Hunter would visit the Wind Academy every so often, but most of it was for business. Leanne had volunteered to help out; the two of them spent a lot of time both in the academy and out. Hunter had also decided to take the chance of what left of his free time to search for his real parents, hoping that maybe he could find something about his past that would help him decide where he wants to go in the future.

If Hunter not talking to the gang was bad, Blake had almost pretty much cut off all ties with everyone but Tori. Factory Blue has pretty much taken over his life. He had become well-known throughout the country, and had loved his fame to the fullest extent, but that was all he seemed to ever be doing with his life. Trying to balance his career and a relationship took a strain on him. There were times when he wished he was a ranger, but he knew those days were all in the past.

Cam wasn't doing much for the two months. He had been helping his father in running the academy, and was planning on going to the Blue Gate Community college in the fall. Ever since they stopped being rangers, their ninja ops computer was getting a bit rusty, so Cam had decided to close that part of the academy down. He had planned on spending his time researching more about his mother, and finding new ways to help expand the academy. It wasn't much but he felt it was something.

It was midmorning and the sun was shining brightly upon the city. Customers were coming in and out of Storm Chargers. The business was booming a lot lately, because of all the sponsorship that Kelly was giving out, and all the wins that were coming from it, had attracted a lot of attentions for it. She was feeling really good about it. Dustin was inside working hard, ringing up a long line of customers. With a booming smile, he wrapped up one of the customer's items in a bag and handed it over to the woman. "Have a great day."

The woman smiled and left, allowing the next person to be rung up. Kelly came out from the back with a bunch of boxes. She made her way around the corner where Shane intercepted her and took a few off her hands. The two of them walked side by side toward the row of moto bikes, "Thanks, Shane." Kelly spoke cheerfully, "This place has never been so busy before. I'm so behind on the paperwork and inventory sale counts"

Shane chuckled a bit, placing the box down in the corner, "With Dustin's last Free Style victory, I'm not surprise." He glanced over at the brunette, "Hey, it's good for business, right?

"I know!" She exclaimed, placing her own boxes next to him. She stood back up to look at the goofy brunette who was now dropping all the customers change on the floor. Rolling her eyes, she cleared the hair from the bangs, "Hey, any word from that magazine company?"

"Dead end, again" Shane trailed off. He bent down toward the boxes, opening one of them up and pulling out a motocross helmet, starring at it. Kelly's smile faded away. She knew that he wasn't too happy that the last tournament he had wasn't noticed by one of the best magazines in the county. It was frustrating but he prayed that college would distract him instead.

The door opened once more, the small bell rang and the gorgeous surfer blonde appeared, wearing a blue tang-top shirt and khaki shorts. She smiled brightly as she looked around the store and spotted Dustin at the counter. Running over, she allowed Dustin take care of the last customer before she spun around the counter, "Dustin!" She exclaimed, "We still on for the beach?" She grabbed his hand, "I got everything ready in the van."

Dustin bursted into a fit of laughter, "You are awfully excited."

"I haven't been at the beach in forever." She swayed her hips from side to side, "So come on!"

Dustin glanced at his watch. The old beat up digital struck two and he nodded. The two of them walked around the counter and toward Shane and Kelly, "Hey, Kel, can I get going?"

"Beach I presume?" She placed her hands in her pockets, "Go on, get out of here."

He nodded. Tori smiled and glanced over at Shane, "When do you get off?"

Shane shrugged, "Not for another hour or two." He responded, "Will you still be at the beach?"

"Uh, hell yeah we will be."

"I'll join you guys afterwards then." He turned his back to continue what he was doing. Kelly waved the two of them to get out of the store. Dustin adjusted his button plaid shirt, running his hands through his messy brunette hair before bursting out the door and toward the van. Tori followed right afterwards and jumped right into the driver seat. She adjusted the mirror and waited for Dustin to get in on the other side.

"Have you talked to Blake lately?" Dustin looked over at Tori. He grabbed the seat belt and placed it on.

Tori shrugged, "Yeah. He called me this morning." She smiled, starting up the car, "How have you been?"

"Good." He nodded, "You still coming to my free styling show tomorrow?"

"Hell yeah I am!" She grabbed the wheel and began to drive off. The two of them began their daily chatter as they made their way to the beach. Although the two of them practically see each other every day, the perks of being best friends allowed them to have endless amount of conversations with each other.

Cam was walking down the academy hall way. Making his way toward the exit, he walked out into the courtyard, allowing the ray of light shine hard on him. Adjusting his glasses; the wind blew against his solid green shirt. Listening to the students practice by the waterfall, he crossed his arms and walked onto the path. He spotted his father out in the distant talking to Hunter. The crimson blonde was wearing his thunder academy uniform. Standing tall, crossing his arms, he smirked a bit as he shook Sensei' hand. Turning his head to glance at Cam, he gave a small wave before turning the opposite way and disappearing in the portal. Mr. Watanabe slowly made his way over to his son and smiled, "How you doing this afternoon, Cameron?"

"I'm bored." Cam complained, "Ever since we defeated Lothor, I've had nothing to do."

"Why don't you go and help some of the students with their training?" He glanced over at the Earth students that were practicing, "They could use your help."

"Dad." He sulked, "That's not my area of expertise." He retorted, "When we were rangers, I had fun using the computer down at Ninja Ops and making new inventions. Now that we aren't rangers anymore, all I have is academy training and ridiculous news on CNN."

Cam's father placed his hand on his son's shoulder, "I'm sure you will find greatness. Just give it time, my son."

"What did Hunter want?" Cam quickly changed the subject.

"He had questions about the Academy's system. It's been on the fritz." Cam's eyebrow arched at the response. Looking right into his father's eyes, the old man smirked, "So I told him that you would go over there and take care of it." Sensei began to walk off, leaving Cam a bit stunned, "Told you. Give it time and something will come up." His voice trailed off at the end. The samurai warrior shook his head, keeping his chuckle inside.

Tori was putting the last of her sun screen on. She rubbed it into her arms, clearing some of the blonde bangs out of her face. She was sitting on the towel of the beach, watching Dustin runs around. She smiled, shining her pearly white teeth, holding back her laughter while Dustin tried doing some back flips in the sand. He was full of energy, one of the main reasons why Tori loved hanging out with him. Whenever she spends time with him, for some reason, he always made her felt good.

Dustin walked to the edge of the beach where the water crashed up onto the sand. Digging his feet into the water, he allowed the cold liquid to seep between his toes. Smiling, he allowed the cool air breeze to run through his hair. Feeling two hands wrapped around his stomach from behind him, Dustin turned his head to see Marah smiling bright up at him. She broke away, "Hey Dustin!" She squealed, "What are you doing here?"

Mara had her hair wrapped in pigtails. She was wearing a black bikini, smiling brightly as ever. She took a step back and the two of them began to walk down the line of the beach. "I'm here with Tori." He pointed over at the distant. Tori waved over and Marah waved right back, "How about you? Who are you here with?"

"Kapri." She grinned deviously, "But she is having another bad hair day so she is running all over the place." Cracking at her own joke, Dustin just chuckled a bit, "Of course I was able to put stuff in my hair and.."

"Umm."

"Oh right." She coughed to clear the awkward air, "I forget you don't know what the heck I'm talking about. I try not to go on these huge rants but then I tend to forget that-"

"Marah." Dustin stopped and turned to her, "You're doing it again." Marah bit her upper lips, blushing a bit. Dustin just smiled at her, "Hey. What are you doing tonight? Do you want to go get something to eat?"

"I'd love too." She smiled. Trying to hide her blush she turned and ran off. Tripping over her own two feet, she went crashing into the sand. Dustin cringed, watching as she got back up, cleared her face of sand and ran off.

Dustin made his way back up the beach and toward Tori. Sitting down next to her, she looked over at him, "So are you ready to go surfing?"

The brunette looked at her weird, "I didn't agree to surfing."

"No.." She giggled a bit, "It was implied. Come on, please!? I promise it won't end up like last time."

"The last time you tried to get me to surf, I was attacked by a dolphin!" He exclaimed, "Those things are vicious!"

"Come on!" She shot up, grabbing him by the arm and standing him on his own two feet, "I will protect you from those dolphins! I promise." Dustin just laughed. Moving forward, he felt a bit dizzy. Wobbling back, he stopped for a sec and took a deep breath. Tori turned and starred at him, "Are you alright?"

Dustin exhaled deeply, and shook his head. "I'm fine." He smiled brightly again, "Let's tackle those waves!" They were ready to run off when Tori's cell phone began to ring from her bag. She turned and walked over and grabbed it. Starring down at the screen, she noticed it was a call from Blake Bradley, "Are you going to answer it?"

She shook her head, "No." She tossed it back in the bag, "Let's get going." She grabbed his hand and the two of them ran off toward the water.

Cam had made his way over to the Thunder Academy. The place was awfully different then the wind academy. It was deep in the woods on the other side of Blue Bay. The mountain side covered the sun, causing the place look a bit darker and scarier then it actually was. Cam walked down the path, passing the pillars that had carvings of symbolic lightning on it. Making his way over to the tower, he spotted a dark hair beauty standing at the steps of the entrance. "Leanne." He adjusted his glasses, "Is that you?"

Leanne turned around and smiled in excitement. She pulled Cam into a hug, "Cam, I haven't seen you in forever!"

"I know." He responded, "How have you been?"

"Oh you know." She crossed her arms, "Busy around the academy. Hunter is having me train some of the beginners. They're having a little trouble."

"Really?" He wrinkled his forehead a bit, "I hear your computer system isn't working either."

"Hunter is inside if you want to talk to him." She pointed behind him, "He would know more about it then I would."

Cam nodded and walked inside. He turned back to see Leanne make her way down the path. Heading inside, he walked down the dark hall ways. The sun shine through the small cracks of the windows, and he turned around toward a closed door. Knocking on it, he waited for an answer. There was only silence, so he turned the knob and made his way inside. The blinds were down and paper was sprawled all across the desk. He made his way to the desk and peaked down at the paper, shuffling through them. Picking one up in particular, he saw a list of names and numbers.

"What are you doing?" The familiar brooding voice boomed from behind Cam. The samurai dropped the paper onto the desk and turned around. He saw Hunter standing there, folding his arms underneath his pits, giving a smug look at his former comrade.

"Hunter." He felt a bit awkward, "Sorry. I was just looking for you. My father said you were having problems with the computer." Hunter just nodded, opening the door back up and stepping aside. Cam bit his lips and proceeded to exit the room. The two of them walked in silence as Hunter lead him to a dead end. Hitting the side of the wall, a hidden door appeared next to Cam. The two of them walked down the spiral steps and toward the computer room. The place was more advanced then Ninja Ops. Their were two giant computer consoles on the opposite of each other and a pedestal in the middle. "Wow." Cam glanced around, "I didn't know the Thunder Academy had all this. We really could have used this during Lothor."

Hunter was just quiet. Cam didn't know why Hunter went back to his old brooding self but he didn't really question it. The two of them hardly spoken for the last two months since he took Sensei Amino's job. In fact, Hunter hadn't really spoken to anyone. "The computer has been acting a little weird." His voice finally spoke, "I can't seem to get the sensor to do what I want. Every time I send one of my students out, and I try tracking them, the radius accuracy is off." Cam moved behind the computer and pried it open. Pulling out some of the wires, he glanced closely at it, "Oh, the security system keeps shutting down."

"Alright. This shouldn't be a problem. Some of your wires got shorted out." Hunter turned and started to walk toward the exit. Cam stood up and made a fake cough. The crimson blonde turned around and faced him, "Why don't you talk to us anymore?"

"Been busy, man." He responded before running up the stairs. Cam didn't believe him. He knew it was just a ploy. One that he had been using a lot lately to avoid talking to any of his friends. Cam let a huge sighed, wiping his forehead and getting back to work.

Shane, Tori, and Dustin appeared over at the Wind Academy. The three of them had enjoyed their time at the beach but it was time for them to train their element students. They were wearing their individual ninja outfit and walking down the brick path and past the fountain in the middle. "You should have seen him." Tori was cracking up, "Dustin flipped over on the surf board and ended up taking an elder lady that was swimming nearby down with him."

Shane was cracking up. The earth child simply rolled his eyes, "In my defense. She was pulling me down. I was trying to save her!"

"I'm sure." Shane snickered, pulling his buddy close and tasseling his hair. Dustin pulled away.

"Dude! Don't touch my hair!" He tried fixing it. He managed to trip over his own foot and hit the ground hard, "Oh god, that hurt.."

"You know." Tori starred down at him, "I can see now that Marah and Dustin are really good for each other."

Shane shook his head, "I'm going to go train." He managed to step over Dustin and continued off. Tori helped him up.

"Are you alright?" She smiled, dusting him off, "You are such a klutz." She smacked him in the shoulder and made her way off toward the building.

Dustin shook his head and sighed. He made his way down the path where a group of ninjas fitted in their yellow uniform were standing around. "Hey guys." He waved to them. They all stopped and starred at him, "Alright." He exhaled, feeling the awkward tension, "Shall we start on our training?"

Tori sat down at the edge of the fountain. She crossed her legs, and leaned to watch Dustin train her students. She spotted Cam making his way toward her. Smiling, she waved and he sat down next to her, "Where you been?" Tori looked over at him.

"I was just helping Hunter out with his computer system at the Thunder Academy." He pulled off his glasses and cleaned them with his shirt, "The whole thing is a mess. I had to come back and get my tool box."

She leaned forward looking at him, "How is he doing anyway? He doesn't seem to stick around these days. I don't talk to him anymore."

"I really don't know." Cam responded, "He's brooding and grouchy as always." He grinned, "Although I found some interesting paperwork on his desk."

"What was it?"

"It looked like he was tracking someone down. I'm not sure who though." Cam responded, "Maybe that was he has been doing lately?"

"Well I haven't visited him in awhile. Maybe I can go and check on him." She looked over at Dustin to see him teaching one of the students how to properly roundhouse kick an opponent. Allowing one of the students to try it on him, the young earth trainee slammed his powerful legs into the brunette and sent him flying onto the solid payment. Tori and Cam got up and ran over to him, bending down and looking right over, "Dustin, are you all right?"

The brunette shook his head, groaning a bit. He rested against the cement, coughing a bit. He got the wind kicked out of hi. Literally. Cam and Tori helped him up. Dustin unzipped his ninja uniform, revealing a huge bruise on his abs. "Damn, Dustin. That bruised real quick." He pulled him toward the academy, "Let's get some ice." Tori quickly scurried after them.

Hunter was sitting at the desk, jotting a few things down on a piece of paper. A knock on the door caught his attention as he shuffled the paper under a folder and watched the door open. Leanne slipped in, closing the door and leaning against it. The room was dark, only the lights through the crack of the shade made out Leanne's face. "Hunter." Hunter shot her a look, before going back through his folders. She sighed, rolling her eyes, "Sensei."

"Yeah." He finally responded, "What can I do for you?"

"Cam called." She explained, "He might not be back anytime soon. Dustin kind of got his butt kicked by one of his own students so he has to take care of it."

"Anything else?" He didn't even look at her.

Leanne slammed her fist onto the desk and leaned over. Hunter, a bit startled, leaned back on his chair and looked right at her. She half faked her smile, and chuckled a bit, "Why don't you go and say hello?"

He leaned forward, "I have two students I need to suspend for failing to follow protocols." He stated, "I have a security system that is failing. Not to mention I'm a little swamped with a few requests from other academy to send training equipment that I really don't have in my inventory right now."

She wrinkled her forehead and shook her head, "I don't care." She walked around the desk and lifted him up by his uniform, "You're going." She turned him around and pushed him out the door.

Cam, Tori and Dustin were in the medical facility. Dustin had ice on the side of his stomach, his top uniform laying right next to him. Cam was looking through a folder, while Tori was sitting next to him. She turned to look at the shirtless Dustin. Checking him out before turning back to Cam. Dustin noticed and gave a weird look. A knock on the door and Marah came bursting in. "Oh my god. Are you alright, Dustin? I heard what happened."

He nodded, "Yeah." He looked over at Cam, "Am I all set to go?"

"I think so." He gave him the thumbs up. Marah assisted him in leaving the room. Cam looked over at Tori, "You said he lost balance earlier? I think he should get checked out at the Hospital."

"Is everything alright?"

"I don't know. I don't want to make any assumptions." He responded, "I don't know have the degree or the medical equipment to diagnose anything. For all I know he probably just bruises easily. Nothing to worry about."

Tori smiled, not thinking twice of the issue. She walked out of the door and bumped into someone. "I'm so sorry." She turned around. Starring down, she noticed the familiar crimson stripe across the sleeve of the uniform.

"Hey." His brooding voice boomed the hall way.

Tori arched her brows. She was a bit surprised but she tried to hide it, "Hunter? What are you doing here?"

He sighed, looking around the hall awkwardly. "Well, I haven't been here in awhile unless I needed something so I thought I come by and visit."

Tori snorted, trying to keep herself from laughing. She grabbed his arms, "Perfect. Let's go out for a walk or something."

Night had fallen and both Marah and Dustin appeared back at Storm Chargers. The two of them entered the building, both holding hands. The store wasn't as busy anymore, Kelly was standing in the middle of the floor with a clipboard. "Hey you two." the read head looked up and gleamed, "How was the beach?"

Dustin snickered, making his way over, "No attacks from the dolphin today. Just old ladies." He grinned, "Oh hey, the new bike came in." His fascination for anything motocross related pulled him from any social conversation with a real person.

"How was business today?" Marah continued the conversation for him, "I heard you were busy."

"Made record sales." She smiled.

"I remember buying these shoes. They were on sale for half off. Then Kapri and I-"

"Honey." Kelly interrupted, "That has nothing to do with record sales."

"Oh." She just laughed it off. A huge crash came from behind her and the two looked to see Dustin quickly trying to place the bike back to its normal stance.

"It uh." He smiled hesitantly, "Fell?"

"Can you do me a favor, Dustin." She ignored his mistake, "Can you grab a box that is in the back. I have to count the shipment products inside before I go home."

Dustin nodded and made his way into the back. Kelly placed the clipboard on the counter, "Tell me more about this shoe sale." She said slyfully.

Hunter and Tori made their way out of the academy. The lights in the courtyard lite the pathway in front of them. The two of them stopped in front of the entrance before Hunter proceeded forward. "So how have things been around here?" He asked casually. More words he had spoken to her in weeks. "It looks like you guys had done some remodeling in the courtyard."

"Sensei thought we should add more color to the place." She smirked, "What's so funny?"

"You should see our academy. It's darker the night. So depressing."

She stepped forward, looking right into his eyes, "Well guess the academy's quality takes after the brooding leader himself."

Hunter scoffed, watching her turn and continued to walk. "For your information, I am far more brooding." She turned to look at him once more. He reached out to clear the bangs from her face. She paused for a sec, embarrassingly smiling at him, "So uh." He cleared his throat, "How's my brother?"

"You don't talk to him?"

"No more then the rest of you."

"He's alright. Swamped with Factory Blue." She shrugged her shoulder, "I don't really get to talk to him much."

"Is that by choice?" He could see it in her eyes she was holding something back, "Are you jealous that Factory Blue has taken your boyfriend away?"

She gave a smug look, transforming it into a light smile, stepping forward and into his face, "No. Are you jealous that Factory Blue took your brother away?"

"So anyway." He quickly changed the subject and the two proceeded to walk farther around the academy, "Where is everyone else?"

"Dustin is with Marah. Shane, I have no idea and Cam is inside. We are all getting together tonight. Thought we go out to eat. Why don't you join us?"

"I'm not sure. I have a lot of work to do." He half lied.

She punched him in the shoulder, "Stop brooding. You've lost your edge, Hunter. You've softened up when we fought Lothor." He scoffed, remaining speechless.

Shane parked his car in front of the restaurant. Blue Bay Squire was one of the most delicious-made foods offered in the city. Locking his car, he adjusted his red hoodie and made his way to the entrance. Walking inside, he was intercepted by the wonderful sixties music. It really could made him gag but he tuned it out. Stopping at the Host Pedestal, he looked around, "I'm meeting some friends." He spoke to the woman, "A blonde and brunette. And-"

"They're in the corner." She pointed.

He nodded at her and made his way over. Marah, Dustin, Hunter, Tori and Cam were sitting at the table. Shane took the empty seat at the end and waved to everyone, "Sorry I'm late. Traffic is just brutal." He looked over to Hunter, "Nice for you to join us."

He looked out the window before responding, "Tori convinced me to come." He finally smiled, "It's nice to get out for once."

"What have you been up too?" Dustin added, fiddling with his fork in front of him. Marah snatched it from him, slamming it on the table.

"Running the academy, basically. Now I see why Sensei Amino is always stressed out."

"Well I for once." Cam spoke up, "Would much rather be swamped with work then have no work at all. I never been so bored at the Wind Academy in my life."

"I remember feeling bad for the longest time for tricking you guys." Marah added, "Things have really changed since Uncle Lothor was defeated."

"I miss being a ranger." Shane's smile faded away. Everyone knew that time had really passed. Everyone was at different places in their life and they knew things were going to change even more as soon as school starts back up again in the fall, "Dude." Shane smiled again, "Remember when we crashed Cam's computer. The entire system went down."

Dustin snickered, "Yeah, man! We were watching the Tsunami bikes on his laptop."

Cam rolled his eyes, "Didn't you lose my back up disk as well, Dustin?"

"Hunter and Blake stole it!"

"Hey!" Hunter objected, "In my defense I was brain washed." His brooding tone started to fade as he adjusted in joining in on the conversation. Everyone started to laugh. Dustin coughed a bit, rubbing his forehead. His laughed faded away, replaced with more coughing. "You okay man?" Hunter glanced over.

Marah rubbed his back, "Yeah. I'm good." He smiled taking a sip of his water, "Just coming down with a cold. That's all."

"You're awfully pale." Tori reached over to fix his hair from across the table, "You sure you are okay?"

She knocked his hand away, "So when are we ordering?" He changed the subject, "Do you think they have good pizza here?"

"This is a gourmet restaurant." Cam responded, "They wouldn't serve pizza."

Dustin rubbed his face. He stood up from the table, "Well I have to go the bathroom or something." He wobbled forward, before tripping on his chair and hitting the ground. The huge ruckus knocked all the water off the table. The brunette had completely passed out. Everyone stood from their seat as Marah bent down to see if he was alright.

"Dustin?" She lifted his head, "Dustin, wake up. Dustin!" She grew louder.

"Hunter. Call 911." He turned to him.

Shane glanced around. Everyone was starring, "Can we get some help here!?" He screamed at them.

The smell of Hospitals was never a big fan of Tori. She paced back and forth in the lobby room. Shane was reading a magazine, glancing up every so often to see Tori walking around. "Would you sit." He barked at her.

She turned and glared at him. The elevator door opened and Cam and Marah came walking out. She dashed over to him, "Where is Hunter?"

"Something happened at the Thunder Academy." Cam explained, "He said to keep him updated."

"And Mrs. Brooks? Is she on her way?"

Marah nodded, "Cuz here contacted her. She should be on her way soon."

Sure enough, the elevator opened up once again and a woman walked out. She had long brunette hair, wearing a black dress and shades. She held tightly on her white purse as she turned and noticed Shane. Taking off her glasses, she rushed over to the crowd, "Tori." She spoke up, "Where is my son?"

Shane tossed the magazine on the table and made his way over, "Mrs. Brooks."

He wasn't the only one speaking her name. "Mrs. Brooks." The doctor stood there in the middle of the floor with a clipboard, "I need to speak to you." Shane nodded as she turned and made her way over. The two of them spoke.

Tori watched from the distant as the others engaged in some conversation. She could her face getting upset as the two turned and walked away into the emergency room. "I don't think it's good guys." She turned to them. Everyone stopped and remained silent.

It was dark and Hunter was sitting alone in his office. He was on the phone, listening to the person on the other end. His hand was fiddling with the papers in front of him. "Well what about this weekend?" He finally spoke, "Can I meet you then?" Hunter leaned back on the chair, twisting it around and starring at the wall. On the wall was a picture of him and Blake at their first motocross match. "Alright, I look forward to meeting you Mr. Lexington."

Without warning, an explosion shattered the glass behind Hunter. He threw himself over the desk and behind it, avoiding the heated flames as it vanished as quickly as it came. Grabbing a hold of the desk, he turned to see the desk half destroyed and all his paperwork burned. Looking over at the wall, a scroll that he had never seen before was hanging. Glancing at it, he read the note.

Stop while you are behind

Was all it said. He ripped it from the wall and scratched his forehead, exhaling his frustration, "Damn." He muttered to himself.
