HELLO!
Do I own any team used, mentioned, or written about in this? No.
So this once again is a one-shot, I've been procrastinating on my other stories. The readers of those stories might just murder me, but not before I post this!
Anyway, this is going on during the series of the NINJAS (ninja storm to be exact) and it's also after Dustin's little going solo thing (the exact episode escapes me… to Google!)
AN: There is some language and mentions of slash (but it's TINY) so that's why it's T!
ANN: Also, send in questions because I might do another chapter!
THANKS FOR R2ing (Reading and Reviewing)!
And enjoy…
The sound of the keys was heard, harmonizing in a way with the heavy breathing and smacking of skin against the floor that was coming in the form of a battle royal on the opposite side of the room.
At the moment, it was the testosterone side of the human race, all five of them, that were dueling to the death. Actually it was more of a competitive thing to determine the 'top dog' in Ops. It was suggested mockingly by Tori, who five seconds later smacked her forehead as her idiotic teammates actually went for the idea. It wasn't a scheduled thing, not planned for a specific day; it was something that came from frustration, stress, and the immaturity of the male aspect of the team. The epic battle was usually started by something stupid and then the winner was usually attacked the next day. In short, the alpha male of the dojo changed daily, only because the blue female had put her foot down about it being hourly (or minutely, as the reds wanted it).
As usual, the stem of the fight had been the reds, who were arguing, once again, about who had taken down more enemies in the latest attack. With Hunter arguing one more than the airhead's total, the first punch had been thrown.
Chaos had soon descended, the others joining in with the intent to put the adrenalin pumping through their veins to good use. While the leaders were mostly focusing on each other, the other three were still having a good time hammering away at each other.
"That all ya got?" Dustin asked in his normal playfulness, dodging a double attack from Blake and Cam who had decided to gain up against him.
"Not by a long shot" The navy thunder smirked, before making contact, sending a small shock of lightning with the punch.
"OW!" The four that had not been given a small taste of being tased snickered at the misfortune of the yellow (although he kind of had it coming).
"Good idea bro" The elder Bradley murmured, before going to try and do the same to his enemy
"Missed" Shane stated, dodging the sizzling fist of the crimson
This of course pissed the dirty blonde off.
On the other end of the color spectrum, the navy and green were ignoring a whimpering dirt boy.
"Tori, your boyfriend zapped me!" Dustin whined, slowly walking over to where she was while the navy blushed to the snickers of the others.
The solo female was the one occupying the computer, typing while tuning out the fight going on around her, a skill that came naturally and out of necessity. She was doing a task that had appeared out of not where when Dustin had decided to go solo for a bit. Although he had failed and taken his spot back on the team where he belonged, the fan mail had kept coming in. In order not to blow the Gmail servers (), the yahoo servers (), or the AOL servers with () with the many emails going to them (why he had created so many emails was still unknown); Cam had reluctantly created their own fan site.
The fans did most the work; posting pictures, theories about their identities, and such. But, like she was right now, they would answer questions posted. One here, another there, they did it in their spare time; although some questions, example being: What is your real name, were ignored. But it was fun, some of the craziest stuff was asked and besides it was fun to give an anonymous answer as the city's protector (or should it be said, one of the protectors).
Ignoring the groan from her best friend, she scanned another question; fingers poised to answer as truthfully as allowed.
From Musiclover:
To: The Blue Ninja Ranger, the kickass female!
Hey girl, just wanted to give you props, I bet it's not easy dealing with all those guys, and tell you that you are an inspiration to my little sis. She adores you, as does my twenty year old bro, lol.
"Another guy likes you…what is that, five in the last week?" Jumping just a little bit from being sucked out of her concentration mode she turned to glare slightly at Dustin.
"Not another one" Shane muttered while the navy ranger glared at the computer
"Chill out lover boy, it's not like the computer can steal her from you" Cue Blake launching himself at his brother, taking them both to the ground while a barrage of fast punches were aimed at the taller of the two.
"Note to self, do not tease Blake about Tori" Cam muttered under his breath, which was replied to with an amused snort from Shane who had back away from the mock wrestling match of the brothers.
Rolling her eyes at the even more chaotic situation around her, Tori went back to reading.
Also: I have a question, if you don't mind answering.
What are the best and worst things about the guys, like their personality traits?
"Interesting…" A grin on her face, she already knew her answer as she opened a new message for the reply.
From: NinjaStormBlue
To: Musiclover
Best and worst traits? That's an easy one.
Red is someone that you can count on, but he's a bit of an airhead (no pun intended) sometimes. He doesn't always think before putting a plan into action.
"I do not!" Without turning, she knew who the person crying foul was.
"Dude, you do" The yellow was probably grinning madly at the moment.
"What does he do?" Hunter yelled from across the room, trying to get up with the younger Bradley trying to keep him on the ground.
Yellow is goofy, so much fun to hang out with, but boy does he get on my nerves! Sometimes its yak yak yak, he won't shut up.
"I do NOT talk that much dude! I mean I could understand if you said that I talked some, or more than normal, but seriously I am not talking you ear off. Why are you putting me in the category of the people that talk too much? Not fair, completely and utterly unfair! You're going after the yellow dude, the happy dude that's fun unlike you people sometimes. That's unjust dude, to go after the happy guy, not fair in no way shape or form is…"
"Dude" The single word, along with a grin, that came from the air red shut the yellow up although it was obvious that the earth ninja wasn't happy.
Rolling her eyes, she made an adjustment.
Scratch that, here's what I meant.
He's goofy, a lot of fun, but he is a bit whiney.
"Am not!"
And he pouts, a lot.
"Do not!"
A LOT.
"Duuudddeeee, I do not pout and I am not whiney!" Turning for a moment, she was greeted with the sight of the yellow sitting Indian style on the floor with his face scrunched up like a baby whose candy had been taken.
Then her snicker joined the smothered laughter coming from the others with included Shane grinning madly while biting his lip, the two Bradleys trying to smother their laughter while finally giving up on the wrestling match to join the loose circle around her. Cam put on a faint smile, which for him was the equivalent of the other's reactions.
"Come on little dude, get up" The red air ranger offered a hand, which the earth ninja took after giving a fierce glare.
Then she assumed typing, with them all reading over her shoulder. Most would have been frustrated with that situation, but it happened all the time so she had just gotten used to it.
Navy is very sweet, plus he's cool, calm, and collected. But he does have jealously issues about certain things; he's very possessive over his bike, his thunder staff…
"You?" A yellow devil whispered in her ear, a chuckle from her other side alerting her to the fact that Shane found the comment somewhat amusing.
In response, she smacked them both before going back to the keyboard, a small blush on her cheeks.
"I do not have jealously issues" The shortest ninja muttered darkly, although he could not help but notice that Tori's cheeks were flushed while the two wind rangers were grinning.
What was that about? He thought to himself.
"So why did you growl at Dustin when he tried to borrow your bike last week?" Hunter shot back with a grin, which in turn produced a glare from the younger of the two.
"You did what?" Cam asked in surprise, they all knew that Blake was a very calm person rarely getting angry except on those few occasions where it was necessary.
"I had just put brand new parts in and then Dustin comes in…I overreacted" Blake replied in slight embarrassment
"I just wanted to try it out and next thing I hear is something that sounds like a mountain lion telling me to get off" The yellow added in a joking manner, he had already settled it with Blake.
"He growled?" Shane asked with an eyebrow raised
"Who knew" Hunter shrugged
Going back to the question, she immediately started typing about the tallest on the team.
Crimson on the other hand is a bit cynical and brooding; although he can still be as destructive, fun, and immature as the others.
"It true" The blue thunder grinned
"You know you just called yourself immature right?" Hunter shot back
"It's fact that we aren't as mature as her" Shane thumbed at her, whom she just smiled at; it was complete fact.
"Just go with the flow dude" The earth ninja added, leaning casually on his red friend
[Just so you know: Maturity ratings]
1st: Me
2nd: Green
3rd: Navy
"Very true" The glasses wearing green stated while the navy grinned
4th: Yellow
5th: The reds are tied; both are like ten year olds sometimes.
"I AM SO MORE MATURE THAN HIM!" The two yelled simultaneously while pointing at the other before realizing what the other was doing
"NO YOU AREN'T!"
At the same volume as before, if not louder, the two's voice combined once again.
"YES I AM!"
And again.
"I'M THE MORE MATURE RED!"
Again and again.
"NO YOU'RE NOT!"
Once more.
"HELL YES I AM!"
The two were panting, while glaring at each other by this time with the others freely laughing by this time.
"You aren't even a red!" Shane growled
"It's a darker shade…DEAL WITH IT AIRHEAD!" Hunter snarled back
"Stop posturing and deal with the fact that you two are equally immature!" She yelled feeling a headache despite the fact that the medicine should have still been good from where she had taken it an hour ago.
Their argument dissolved to small glares as she tried to finish up the question.
Green is the techie of the team, which means that he is very precise, not to mention dependable…
"Our personal geek" Shane patted the samurai's shoulder, which was met with a glare that said DO NOT TOUCH.
"I think that we would be dead if he wasn't here" The comment from Tori made him feel a bit better.
"Probably, considering that Hunter's blown up a microwave by touching one button" Blake shrugged
"He did?" The two wind rangers said at the same time
"I was ten and was still learning how to use my powers, so I accidently tased it" The crimson ninja explained with an eye roll at the snickers.
"I woke up to 'OH SHIT!' and an explosion" The navy bumped playfully into his brother
As the chuckles echoed the room, she finished the sentence.
…but with that comes the fact that he is rude, a shut in, and somewhat anti social.
"Hmph" The green snorted grumpily
But he's gotten better over the weeks.
Thank god, he was such a grump.
"DUSTIN!"
"OW!"
But he's a great guy, we are glad he's here.
"I was just kidding dude!" The yellow groaned from the floor from where he had been thrown by her sucker punch after he had taken over the keyboard.
"Idiot" Shane muttered, once again pulling the yellow to his feet
Thanks for the message!
-NinjaStormBlue
Sending it off, she scanned the page for another. Not that she didn't have stuff to do, but it was slightly addictive, you couldn't just answer one.
"You have a problem" Cam stated as she looked for the next one
"I do not" She quickly replied, scrolling down at the same time
"Denial, tsk tsk" Blake mockingly scolded
"An intervention might be order" Hunter looked at Shane, and Shane looked at Hunter to discover that the other had the same twisted grin on their face and the same evil plan in mind.
"I am not addicted or anything….NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Her sentence went into higher octaves when the two grabbed an arm each and started dragging her away from the computer.
"MY TURN!" Dustin yelled in glee as he took her spot
"NO, IT'S STILL MY TURN! PUT ME DOWN!" Glaring at the yellow, she started to fight off their grips.
"Tor-Tor, you have to share" Shane snickered while struggling to keep her thrashing form still.
"I don't wanna!" She snarled, managing to get an elbow to the red's gut
"And we are immature" Hunter muttered as they both lost their places and she was free.
Although it was obvious that she would have to get through the two's ninja skills to get back to the computer as the reds sunk into a defensive position.
"Geez, it's like she's trying to take my head off" The crimson ninja muttered as he ducked to avoid a kick to the head.
"Trust me, she is" The airhead replied as the growls that rivaled a lions came from her throat.
As their battle went on, the two managing to not take too much damage from her obviously angry attacks, the yellow was scanning the question titles as the two calm rangers watched the battle of reds vs. Tori.
Who are you?
"Not telling"
Where did you get your powers?
"A guinea pig and a ninja academy that was destroyed"
Like they'd ever believe that.
What are the couples on the team?
Couples? Dustin raised an eyebrow, there was only one couple and that was Tori/Blake, although Hunter had been sneaking a few looks at Cam…maybe something would come of that, although he really wanted to know why Shane was acting all distant. Like they used to give a specific hand shake with a back pat involved, but it was almost like the red was avoiding him. If the skateboarder would just tell him, but 'nothing's wrong' was the answer…it was bumming him out.
Who the best ranger?
"Me, duh"
"Navy kicks your ass" Blake smirked
"And samurai beats you both" The green added
"Okay, skipping that question" He knew if he didn't then it would turn into a huge fiasco that would lead no where, especially when the macho alphas got involved.
Would you…?
"That looks interesting…OW!" He found himself on the ground looking up at Tori who had pushed him out of the chair before taking a seat. The others were snickering; including the two who were suppose to have stalled her!
"Sorry dude" Hunter, seeing his glare pointed in their direction, said while trying to stop grinning.
"Tori gets what she wants, you know that" Shane added that fact, but he had already known that before they had become rangers. For a third, and hopefully final time, the red extended a hand; although the crimson did the same out of pity. He was on his feet in a moment's time to lean over Tori's shoulder as she clicked on the link.
To: The Ranger Guys
From: Skaterboi
"You sure you didn't post this Shane?" Tori grinned, the airhead rolled his eyes in response.
Just to start, you guys are awesome, kicking ass and all. It's nice to know that I won't get attacked by a giant butterfly or something.
"I thought it was Moth-zilla" Dustin was sure that he would remember fighting a giant monarch butterfly or whatever it was.
"No, it was a butterfly" Cam replied in a factual manner, like he could pull out video footage out of midair to prove him wrong; the green ranger probably could.
"It was when Tori was acting loopy remember?" The elder Bradley winced after being punched in the shoulder by his brother.
"For your information, I had gone to another dimension where you guys were assholes! So yes, I was a bit disoriented" The only female grumbled
"We're just glad your okay" The others fakely gagged in the background as the navy spoke.
Tired of the lovey-doveyness, Shane stepped in "I wonder what this guy wants" in so, directing the attention back to the screen as he moved to his place by Dustin.
So dudes, I have a question. Well, actually it might be more than one, but bear with me.
Would you, if you could go back in time:
Choose not to be rangers?
Choose different teammates?
And right now, do you wish that you had more than one female on the team? The blue is a babe, seriously she HOT, but is it difficult sometimes that she's the lone (female) ranger?
"Okay, what do you guys think?" Tori asked, opening a new message. Although she wanted to desperately hear the answer to the last message.
To: Skaterboi
From: The Ranger Guys
"I would definitely be a ranger" Cam stated firmly, although no one expected him to say otherwise as he had just gotten his powers
"Couldn't imagine not being one" Shane said, the thoughts of being stripped of the power sending small shivers down his spine.
"Same here" Hunter agreed
"It would have been nice if you two wouldn't have been evil though" Dustin thumbed towards the brothers.
"At least we didn't kill you like were suppose to" Blake reminded him of the bright side
No, we would defiantly choose to go down the same path (with a few minor, un-evil, adjustments) because we just can't imagine not having the morphers on our wrists. Plus saving people gives such a good feeling…
"Don't put that" The crimson muttered
"Why not?" She spun to look at them
"Because it's suppose to sound like one of us is typing this, we don't say all that stuff" The yellow shrugged
Rolling her eyes, she backspaced over the unwanted stuff before asking "Question two?"
"Again, no evil thunders would have been great" The red wind started the discussion
"You're just sore that you got your ass kicked" The taller, and more brooding, red smiled a wicked smile.
"You wish" The air ninja snorted
"But why would you split up a winning team?" Dustin grinned, the others feeling (just a little) touched at the comment.
"We do balance each other out" The navy added
No way would we get other people. While we had some bumps in the beginning, we are a close knit group and while we get on each others nerves, I doubt that anyone else could fill the shoes that we do.
"Better?" She asked, although she really wanted to get on to the next, and final, question.
They all nodded in approval as the topic of the final piece of discussion came to their minds.
"So it's asking if we would replace and or get another Tori?" Cam mused aloud
There was a moment of silence, before an answer.
"Why the fucking hell would we do that?" Hunter snorted in amusement
"Stupid question" Shane agreed, giving her a small touch on the shoulder in appreciation
"Like we need another girl here when Tori does a great job" Blake added, giving her a small smile
"I think that she's kicks our asses in line just fine" The yellow said truthfully
"It's also nice to have another intellect to talk to" Four sets of eyes rolled at Cam's comment.
And with a grin, she entered it in.
Not in a million years, she's great and besides it would be scary to have more than one of her around. But she's also dependable and is more than capable to dish it our when we give her shit.
There's your answers, hopefully the butterfly won't stomp you.
-The guys
"Next!" Dustin announced, about to grab the mouse
Smacking his hand away, she went back to type one more thing.
One more thing: Call her hot or babe one more time and we will hunt you down.
Have a nice day!
"Damn straight" Shane smiled evilly as the others did
"I thought you guys would like it" She sent the message before scrolling again down the endless page of questions.
"Oh yes, we like" Dustin snickered
"What's next in our campaign for wasting time?" Cam sighed before looking at the question she had clicked on.
Let the record show that it was an accident, a horrible accident.
To: The blue female
From: Soccerchick
Just one question: Who's the best ranger, out of the guys?
"Yeah Tori, whose the best?" Blake asked as they all looked at her
"I am not answering that question" She rose from her place at the computer
"Come on Tor" Dustin put on his puppy dog eyes, but she was used to it.
"No"
"She just doesn't want to admit that it's me" Hunter smirked
"Yeah right, tellem Tor!" Shane shot back, although she was already starting to climb the stairs.
"TORI!"
They all raced after her, leaving only a guinea pig (who had been meditating in the corner the entire time) and a ranger. Sitting in the chair, an answer was typed in.
To: Soccerchick
From: NinjaStormBlue
The green ranger, because he has the brains, the technique, and he's a samurai. What else do you need to know?
Thanks for asking.
-NinjaStormBlue
The person sent it off and sensei grinned.
"Well played my son, well played"
The screen was closed and the monitor was turned off before the chair turned to show a evilly satisfied smirk on the person's face.
"I know"
Reviews? Plz!
I thought it was a cut snippet.
THANKS FOR R2ing!
