Blake's POV
She probably doesn't feel the same way. How do you say I love you, without knowing if she will say it back. Tori, the one person who gets me and the one person I'm in love with. The way her clear blue eyes look at me, and her silky blonde hair flows in the wind. I need to stay focused though, she is my best friend and I can't lose her.
Ninja Opps
Everyone was there, sensei, Cam, Shane, Dustin, Hunter, Blake, and Tori. Just warming up, getting ready for the next battle.. they were in pairs: Shane and Hunter, Dustin and Cam, and Blake with Tori.
" Come on Blake, are you even trying?" Tori teased.
"You asked for it then, I was just letting you warm up so I could knock you on your but later" He said with a smirk.
The others were also teasing each other, pushing each other to do better then the alarm went off, another monster they would have to fight and eventually defeat…
"Let's go!" Shane said eager to get this over with.
"Hey you guys got this I'll stay back at opps and keep you posted on everything," Cam said. He usually stayed behind usually unless they really needed him. He didn't really like to stay, but he wanted to make sure everything was in place and nothing could go wrong.
"Alright Cam, keep us posted for any other monsters or disturbances," Shane said like the leader he was. "Come on guys, let's show this monster who he is dealing with."
Then they all streaked away, using their ninja speed.
Battle site
" Dustin, Tori, Blake tale care of the Kelzaks. Hunter and I can get handle the monster for now." Shane said.
"Okay," everyone said together.
As soon as Blake, Dustin and Tori finished of the last of the Kelzaks, they went to join up with Shane and Hunter, who seemed like they needed the help.
"Hey guys what took you so long? We are kinda getting beat out here," Hunter said a little annoyed and slightly out of breath.
"We are here now, what's the plan?" Blake said.
"We don't have any fire power affecting this monster at all, he just bounces back and fires at us and he is moving so fast, we can't dodge the hits… so we don't have a plan...yet." Shane stated, sounding frustrated.
Then right before their eyes, the monster turned into a human figure in a black ranger like uniform, " You can call me Agent XX Black."
They were all shocked, but the voice sounded human, not robotic life, there was emotion in his tone.
"What do you want?" Blake demanded.
"What are you?" Dustin asked.
"So many questions rangers, don't worry answers will soon come. But I guess I can answer your question navy ranger, I want the blue ranger." He pointed straight at Tori.
"There is no way in hell that is ever going to happen." Blake snapped, his voice cool and menacing. He stood I front of Tori.
"What do you want with me?" Tori asked, trying not to sound afraid, but tuff.
"That's for me to know for right now, but if you come with me your friends will not be hurt. And you must leave your communicator behind, understood?" He said as if she would just do as she is commanded.
"Excuse me, but what makes you so tuff. I'm not going anywhere with, but you are going somewhere…straight into the ground." She said grinding her teeth together.
"That's right!" Shane said in agreement. "Bring it!"
"Fine, if you want to do this the hard way dear Tori, I will, but I'm warning you now it WILL NOT be a very good outcome for you and your friends. You know what, I'm going to be nice and give you one day to think this over. Bye for now rangers!" Then Agent XX Black was gone.
All the rangers were in shock of what just happened, especially in shock because the black agent creep knew Tori's name not just her ranger color, but her name! They all stood in silence till Dustin said something, "You know Tor, I bet he is all talk. Don't worry about it."
"Yeah Tori, he won't be able to touch us." Hunter said trying to comfort his friend who was still in shock.
Although, Shane didn't say a word, but he gave a nod signaling to head back to ninja opps.
Back at Ninja Opps
" What the heck is going on Cam?" Blake said glaring, though he wasn't mad at Cam but at the Agent XX Black guy.
" I don't know! I 've been tryin to locate this man monster thing, I don't even know if he works for Lothor." Cam said obviously in panic.
"Of course he works for Lothor, he came with Kelzaks remember?" Hunter said.
" Yes, but that could have been a coincidence, he didn't command the Kelzaks, they were just there. And Lothor doesn't usually focus on one of us but usually his focus is to destroy all of us. Agent XX Black is focused on Tori for some reason…" He trailed off and looked to Tori, who was staring off into space like she had been doing the moment the Black man disappeared.
"Tori…" Blake said in the softest tone he could manage though all the chaos. She finally broke her gaze and looked up and around, then looked at Blake.
"Yes?" She said.
"Umm, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine, I guess, why?
"Well you have been silent ever since the…"
"The attack, yes I know I've been trying to figure this all out but I'm just going in circles in my head…" She sounded frustrated. She placed her head in her hands. " That voice, it sounded familiar…"
"It did?" They all asked at once. Apparently surprised, and she was shocked they didn't recognize the voice too.
"Oh you guys didn't think you have heard the voice before?"
"No." They all said.
"Well I think I have, you know what I need some time to think, I'm going to take a walk."
"Not without me." Blake said, he was dead serious.
"I don't need a babysitter, I can handle things myself. I am not helpless." Tori hated feeling like she was a fragile flower around the guys, they thought she was so breakable.
"I know you don't, but I am not letting you out of my sight till we figure things out and know what's going on."
"Fine." She said reluctantly.
In the forest
Blake and Tori walked in silence, he didn't want to interrupt her thinking. She wanted to go alone so he thought that it would be best if he pretended to be invisible as if she were alone, so she could think and process. " You should ask if she wants to talk out loud and that maybe you can help," Blake thought to himself. "No I don't want her to feel like she has to talk to me and I don't want to bug her if she wants to be left alone, even though I didn't really let her be alone..."
"Blake…" Tori said.
"Yeah Tor…"
" How do you think he knows me? And what do you think he wants? And do think we really can defeat him?" She trailed off lost in her thoughts and questions.
Blake could see she was upset so he grabbed her hand and pulled her into a hug. Whispering into her ear he said, "Everything will be alright Tor, we can beat him and it doesn't matter how, what, or why he wants you, he can't have you and you are not going anywhere. Got it?" She nodded into his shoulder and relaxed into his embrace, not wanting him to let her go.
Agent XX Black
" So did you capture her yet sir?"
"No I haven't Charles, but she will eventually be mine." "She has no choice, she will come with me one way or another."
"Sir?" asked Charles.
"What?"
"Umm what are you going to do about the navy ranger? It seems he has deep feelings for her, he may be harder to take care of if your after Tori."
"The navy ranger will not come after me once I have Tori because that will only make her die faster…"
"But aren't you going to kill her anyways sir?"
"Of course I need her energy and life source, the whole package, power runs deep into her veins. Besides she owes me."
"What do you mean sir?"
"Charles, lets just say that Tori and I go way back and it's finally her turn to pay up for the things she owes me."
" Yes sir." Charles said very confused.
Ninja Opps
"Are they getting back anytime soon? Maybe we should go look for them." Dustin said obviously worried for his friends
" Give them a little longer Dustin, remember patients is key to the balance of life," said sensei, trying to help calm Dustin's worries with his soothing voice.
Within minutes, Blake and Tori walked in and everyone sighed in relief that they both returned in one piece and smiling. " So what's up?" Blake said looking directly at Cam.
