Power Rangers Ninja Storm
A King's Life
By EarthGuardian/Dcm3387
Chapter 1: The Future is Now.
It had been two and a half years since Lother had been defeated. The rangers had all moved on with their lives, adjusting and getting use to all there free times. Since they no longer had their powers, they were able to focus on their education and hobbies. They never knew how fast time would go, they had already graduated High School and began to pursue there own dreams and ideas.
After High School, Shane had decided to go to college. He had decent grades and managed to pull himself into the Blue Bay University. Though he focused on his education, he did not say no to partying and skateboarding. He has improved immensely on his board, able doing more then he was able to do in his ranger days. He had been trying hard to get into as many magazines and get noticed.
Tori is also attending the same University as Shane. Since the University was located far away from any beach, she barley had anytime to do what she loved the most. Surfing. So instead of constantly trying to get herself to the beach, she had been focusing on her dancing skills. She had been in a few hardcore dancing competitions and has been awarded first place 3 times so far. She loves music and dancing, and even on her free time she would dance. Though dancing and college has taken most of her life, she still does her best to surf.
Dustin wasn't really planning on going to college, but his two best friends weren't going to exactly let him waste his life away so they dragged him along with them. He had the grades to get in, but his motivation still lacks. Motocross is still his life, and he has gotten really good on free styling. Kelly still sponsors him in tournaments and events, but due to college, he wasn't able to drive all the way into the city to work in Storm Chargers. He still is the same thrill seeking air head that everyone loves. He is currently going out with Marah, who is also attending the same college.
Hunter is the last one out of the six rangers that is attending the Blue Bay University. He has also taken up the job as the head master for the Thunder academy. He does the best he can to balance out both the academy, his education and motocross. Though it seams impossible, Leanne has been helping him keep the academy in order. Motocross is still his favorite sport, but he hasn't really focused on it lately. It's something he likes to do for fun, he has no real time to make it a professional thing.
Although Cam is all for learning and education, he thought giving his father a hand at the academy was far more important. He planned on going to college a year after everyone else, it wouldn't be too hard. He still trains himself hard every day, and he visits the others to continue there ninja training. All the students watch in awe as the rangers practice on the campus field there well expert martial arts. Cam no longer wears glasses, he is all for contacts but he still the same inside and out.
Blake is the only one that the others haven't really kept in contact with. Touring with Factory Blue has taken most of its time. His feelings towards Tori is still strong, but with the lack of talking between each other, they feel like they should see other people. Blake had planned on visiting them, but something always seam to come up. Factory Blue has done wonders for him, he was becoming pretty well known. He sometimes wishes that he could go on a long vacation and hang out with his friends like they use too, but his career was just as important and he finds it hard to balance them both out.
---------------------
The sun was rising high upon the grounds of the Blue Bay Harbor University. Morning has come for all the students, and everyone was getting ready to greet the day. Up in the girls Dorm, music could be heard blaring from one of the rooms. Dustin had entered the building, hearing the familiar song from a distant. He smirked, knowing who's room it was coming from as he quickly made his way up the stairs and into the hall way. The brunette scratched his still messy brown hair as he knocked on the door of Tori and Marah's room. He took a step back, adjusted his yellow and white plaid shirt. He had a big grin on his face as he waited for someone to answer, but it eventually faded away when the door didn't open. Deciding to take matter in his own hands, he swung the door open. His eyes gazed upon the figure in front of him. Tori was dancing around the room. She was wearing a white tang top, and for some reason, a yellow poke-dotted boxerd. The brunette tilted his head as the beautiful blonde swayed her hips to the music and head banged to the drums. Dustin couldn't help but burst out laughing, but the music was so loud she couldn't hear him. The sneaky boy crept in and tip toed in and towards the boom box. He hit the power button and watched as the room went silence and the former blue ranger spun around with a distraught look on her face.
"Morning." Dustin spoke casually.
Tori's jaw dropped as she brushed her messy blonde hair back and behind her ears. She looked around as she bit her lips, she felt so embarrassed.
"How long have you been standing there?" Her voice cracked a bit.
The brunette had a huge grin on his face as he crossed his arms, "Long enough to realize that those are my boxers."
Tori looked down and swung her hips from side to side, with a huge smile on her face. She laughed a bit as she made her way over to him with a devil look on her face.
"Well, it's not like I haven't worn them before." She smiled as she twirled herself around before facing him, "Besides, maybe you shouldn't leave them here." She said with a huge smirk on her face, nudging him a bit.
The brunette chuckled a bit as he walked over towards Marah's side of the bed. He could tell it was her's, because it was less blue then Tori's side. He spun around and sat down on the bed.
"So you going to take them off now?" He asked, "I like them back."
"Very funny." She made her way to the boom box and glanced back at him, "Aren't you still going out with Marah?"
"Yup." He responded, "But that has nothing to do with wanting my boxers back."
She kept her eyes narrowed on the brunette sitting on her roommates bed. She pressed the play button without looking away, letting the music surround the room once more. She then turned her body around till she completely faced Dustin, heading towards his direction. The former yellow ranger arched his eyebrows, wondering what kind of trick the blonde had up her sleeves.
"Come on, dance with me." She laughed.
Dustin laughed, furiously shaking his head, "No. I don't dance."
She rolled her eyes and dragged him into the middle of the room and started to spin him around. The two of them bursted out laughing as they started to try out all kinds of dances to the beat of the music. Tori took a few steps back and laughed as the brunette began to do the robot and any other old fashion dance moves. She then checked her watch and realized that it was almost time for English class.
"Let me get change, and we can get to class." She headed towards the bathroom door, "Stay out of trouble."
He scoffed at the thought and sat down as she closed the door. He looked around the room, whistling a bit as he starred at the surfing posters on Tori's side of the wall. He turned down the music a bit and turned to see the door open and feminine brunette walk in. He smiled devishely as he stood up and walked over to her.
"Where have you been?" He casually asked, ""Trying to hide from me?"
He showed his pearly white teeth as he pulled her close and kissed her. She smiled back as she moved past him and towards her desk.
"I had to pick up some books." She responded, "I have to go Math now."
"Sounds fun." He spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
The bathroom door opened up and Tori came out, wearing a beige short and a blue button blouse. Her hair was frizzly and wet as she tried to dry it with a towel. The couple turned to her as she smiled at them.
"Hey Marah." Tori beamed a happy look towards her as she tossed her towel on the bed, "Got class?"
Marah nodded, "Yeah. Kind of sucks." She replied then turned to Dustin, "See you this afternoon?"
"Yeah." Marah leaned on her toes and gave the tall brunette another kiss before moving past him. She waved to Tori and exited the room quickly. Tori grabbed her binder and slipped her small silver watch on.
"We should go too." Dustin turned back to her friend that was talking, "Don't want to be late."
He chuckled, "But that'll just ruin my rep on always being late."
Tori shook head at her friend's comment and grabbed his armed. Dustin nearly fell over from the mighty pull the blonde gave him as she dragged him out of the room and into the hall way. She chuckled a bit as she turned around and closed the door before grabbing Dustin's shirt once more to lead him down the stairs and outside. The two of them traveled across campus and towards the building where all the English classes were held. They entered in, and passed a few kids that were exiting out. The brunette looked around and spotted a familiar boy in red from the distant. He climbed the stairs in the classroom and moved to sit down next to Shane.
"Hey dude!" The brunette punched him in the shoulder, "What's going on?"
Shane adjusted himself and put his binder down towards the side of his desk. He laughed a bit as he watched Tori make her way up and sit on the other side of him.
"Hey guys." He finally responded, "Made it just in time."
"Well Dustin decided to take forever." Tori smirked as she glanced at him.
The former yellow ranger tilted his head, raising his finger a bit, "If I don't recall, you were the one dancing." He pointed out, "In my boxers." He grinned.
Tori pursed her lips a bit as she heard what he just said. She leaned back on her seat and just scoffed a bit. Shane just giggled as the teacher entered and looked around. Everyone started to calm down as he headed towards his desk and put down his briefcase.
"Alright class, take out your Macbeth books. We will finish where we left off last time." He announced to everyone. Dustin looked around and under his desk for his book. The teacher turned and noticed him antsy in his chair, "Mr. Brook, is there a problem?"
The brunette shifted his eyes to the one in charge, "Uh, I lost my book."
Shane reached into his bag and took out an extra copy and tossed it into the brunette's head. Dustin turned and gave a stupid laugh as he shot a dirty look at Shane. The teacher looked away and Dustin began smacking Shane with the book. He leaned over and fell out the of the chair, making Tori burst out laughing. The teacher finished writing on the chalk board and turned back to see the brunette scramble up and sit back in his chair.
"Mr. Brooks, perhaps you can tell me why Macbeth betrayed the king, and killed him."
Dustin opened his book and got himself comfortable in his chair. He looked at the book, and at Tori, trying to figure out what page he was on. He hated English, and this was one of the reasons why.
"Uh." Dustin trailed off, "He, he killed the king because." He breathed in a bit, "Because the King, he was a bad man." The brunette thought as he talked, "He took the guy's chicken! And, taking a man's chicken whether your king or not is a no no." He laughed, "I mean, wouldn't you.." He trailed off again.
The whole class remained quite, Tori and Shane tried not to laugh. The teacher looked at his book and then back at Dustin.
"Mr. Brooks. Congratulations." He spoke up.
"I got it right?" He felt a bit excited.
He shook his head, "No, but I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico."
Dustin leaned back on the chair, smirking a bit as the students all giggled a bit from the joke. He then sighed as he let the book slide from his fingers and back on the desk.
"Dustin." The teacher became serious, "If you actually payed attention, you would know that the 3 witches told Macbeth that he would be king. And his wife wanted it, so they had to take out the king."
Dustin yawned, "No offense dude." He leaned forward a bit, "But Kings and queens and shake sphere. It's all boring. Why do we need to read this stuff? Who wants to be king? It's sounds so boring, not to mention you always get assassinated."
The teacher nodded a bit, "Well, yes. You bring a valid point. And I respect that opinion."
"Can I go to the bathroom?" He asked.
The teacher nodded. Dustin turned to the others before getting out from his chair. He headed down the steps and outside, taking a deep breath before turning and heading down the hall way. He hummed as he headed towards where the bathroom was located. He turned and faced the bathroom door.
Dustin..
The brunette stopped and looked around, hearing the voice. He then turned and noticed a small green light shining off the wall. Turning a bit, he looked around to see where it was coming from. Walking a bit, he turned the corner towards an noticed a green swirling light in a class room. Heading in, his back pocket began to glow bright yellow. He noticed it and pulled out his old wind moprher that he held on to. All though they had no powers, they still wanted to hold onto there morpher. For some strange reason though, the power disc was glowing. He then felt a strange pull on his body and noticed he was slowly heading towards the portal. Grabbing on to something, the force began to increase and he could feel his body getting sucked towards the portal. The force was so long, Dustin could feel his fingers slip from the wall he was holding on to. His last finger gave up on him and he went flying into the portal.
"Ack!" He yelled before the portal closed.
---------------------
Tori yawned as she was half asleep during class. It had been an hour and half and class was pretty much over. She yawned a bit and watched as the students all get up and head out the door. Stretching a bit, she noticed that Dustin's desk was still empty. Standing up, she grabbed her binder and looked at Shane.
"Did Dustin ever come back?" She asked him.
The former red ranger turned to her, "I don't think so. I was asleep."
"Lovely." She trailed off as the two of them walked down the steps and towards the door.
The teacher looked up at them, "Tell Dustin I like to see him."
Both of them nodded and walked out into the hall way. They moved past a group of kids and towards the exit of the building. Shane opened the door and jumped the rail and towards the side, pulling out his skateboard. Tori leaned against the wall and watched as some of the students began to come and go.
"Where do you think Dustin could be." The blonde squinted from the sun, "I know he hated classes, but not that much where he didn't come back."
Shane shrugged as he jumped on the board and began to kick flip on it. He spun around and faced his fellow friends and scratched the back of his neck.
"I'm sure something came up." He reassured her, "Come on, let's go to the park."
Tori pushed herself off the wall and walked down the steps a bit and saw Cam and Hunter heading towards them. She placed her hands on her hips as she let her blonde hair flail with the wind. The crimson headmaster smiled as waved to them.
"Look what we have here." Cameron mused as he looked at the two of them, "Did you just have class?"
Tori brushed her bangs back and responded, "Uh yeah. English."
Shane picked up his board and lunged it over his back, holding onto it tightly, "Well dudes, were going to have some fun. You in?" He asked, "Maybe the park?"
Cam shrugged, "What the heck."
They were about to leave when they overheard two kids that passed them. Cam stopped and shifted his body towards them, the others stopped staring and wondering what he was doing.
"Wait, what did you two say?" He asked them.
The two boys stopped and looked at him, "I heard there was a robbery or destruction in one of the English classroom. It's totally trashed." One of them spoke up before the two of them entered the building.
Tori arched her eye brows and looked at everyone, "Do you think?"
They all glanced at each other before dashing inside. They headed down the hall and peered around the corner where a group of teachers were chatting. The rangers pressed against the wall and looked at each other.
"What do you think happened?" Shane whispered.
Hunter sighed, "Let's take a closer look."
He stretched his finger out and pointed it towards a trash can. He used his ninja skills, and sent a small bolt towards it. The trash can exploded and the teachers all dashed over to see what happened. The rangers all dashed into the room and Cam closed the door.
"What a mess." Tori looked around, "I don't think Dustin is here."
Hunter and Cam walked forward a bit and noticed their pockets began to glow crimson and green. Tori and Shane spun around and went wide eyed.
"You two are holding onto your moprhers?" Shane pointed out as the two of them pulled them out, "What's happening to them?"
"Your pocket is glowing Red!" Tori shouted, "And my morpher." She whipped it out, "It's, what's going on Cam?"
A green portal began to open back up again and everyone started to feel the suction of the portal. Before anyone could grab onto anything, they all lifted off the ground and into the portal. The rangers all screamed as there body began to toss and twirl in through a green and black spiral portal. It wasn't long before they all ended up at the end, the shroud of green and white mist vanished and they all found themselves falling through the air. Shane and the others all continued to yell as they hit the ground hard. At least they thought it was the ground. Hunter groaned as he rolled over and onto his back. He looked up and noticed the once afternoon sky was now pitch black. He moved his eyes a bit and noticed a bunch of buildings tower over him. Tori pushed herself up and brushed back her long hair and stumbled around a bit. She noticed they were on a giant blue platform, it stretched for miles all around the strange city they seamed to be in.
"Where are we?" Shane shouted, listening to his echo, "Are we in Blue Bay still?"
Cam stood up and walked to the edge of the long rectangular platform. He noticed how high they all were. He figure that they were standing on a road or something, a high platform used for something. He wasn't too sure. Suddenly a huge rocket shot through the air and slammed into a building. The force shook everyone off their feet. The smoke began to surround them, as they forced themselves up and noticed a group of men heading towards them. There were 4 men in silver and white armor, and a helmet, that went half way down, but did not cover the jaw part of the head. It had a black triangular viser and each were holding a rifle. In the middle of the 4 what seamed like soldiers, was a brunette, no taller then Dustin. He was covered in gold and yellow, with a long cap draping from his back. He had dark boots, and white gloves. The rangers all stood up and faced the group, wondering who they were.
"Hello?" Hunter spoke up, "Dustin?"
A soldier aimed is gun at Hunter, taking a few steps forward, "You will address the king with respect!"
The brunette raised his hand and the soldier took a few steps back. Hunter glanced at everyone, wasn't sure how to react to that. The strange brunette took a few steps forward, letting the smoke clear away. Tori could see his face better, able to recognize him, she felt light headed and fainted to the ground.
"Help her up." The man barked.
"Dustin!?" Shane and Cam chorus, "Is that you?" Cam added.
He nodded, "Welcome to Blue Bay Harbor. The year is 3063."
Cam glanced at them, "This can't be.."
