Shane

The next day...

I was catching some air on my skateboard when I saw a girl with chocolate brown and blond hair, zoom over a ramp and catch some bigger air.

"Whoa. Nice moves." I called out as she landed and I walked over to her.

"Thanks." The girl smiled, before holding out her hand, "Name's Celestina, but you can call me Celea."

"Nice to meet you, Celea." I smiled back and shook her hand, "I'm Shane."

"Nice to meet you too, Shane." Celea nodded, and let the handshake go, before she went back to the half pipe, "I GOTTA land that 360 tail spin!"

I raised a brow, then called over to her, "That's a really hard move to master!"

"I know! I broke three boards trying to get it right!" She called back before she started skating up the ramp to the top, and I followed.

"Tell you what, you do ONE 360 and I'll buy you a drink." I decided.

"Thanks, but no thanks." She shook her head, "My friends are waiting for me. I'll do the one 360 then I need to head out."

"Oh." I nodded, "Okay." I watched her go down the ledge and up the other part, turning in a complete circle when she got above it. When she landed she slowed her board to a stop, smiled up and waved at me, before skating off to the exit.

Just as I was about to get some more practicing in myself, my Morpher went off. I looked around, grabbed my board, then Ninja Streaked to Ninja Ops.

"Really Cam?" I groaned, "What's the emergency?"

"Rangers, their may be another threat rising." Our Sensei, (Who was turned into a Guiana pig thanks to Lothor a few weeks back) explained.

Tori, one of my best friends, walked up to him, "How so?"

"I am not certain, but I want you all to keep an eye out for anything strange." Sensei instructed.

"Okay, Sensei."

Just then Dustin, another one of my best friends, walked in, "I am so so sorry for being late Sensei." He gulped, "I was at the Motocross track with Hunter and Blake."

"The same guys you met yesterday?" I raised a brow.

"Yeah them, except they didn't have that girl with them." Dustin nodded, "She seemed more into Skateboarding anyway."

"What was the girl's name?" I questioned my yellow friend, surely he couldn't mean...

"I think her name's Celea." Dustin recalled.

"The same girl I met at the Skate Park, today!" I realized.

Sensei nodded slowly, "We must act quickly. I fear they may be a part in the new threat."

"Great, and I thought Lothor was bad enough." We all rolled our eyes.

"Well, if that's all. I'm heading back to the Track." Dustin walked out of Ninja Ops quickly.

"And we'll follow him." I sighed as Tori and I followed our Yellow Ranger friend.

"Be safe Rangers." Sensei nodded as we left.

"We will, Sensei." Tori and I nodded.

Celea

"How can you POSSIBLY be smiling when we're trying to find that Wind Ninja Sensei?!" Hunter growled as I skated up to him and his brother.

"Because I just landed a 360." I shrugged, "And it's gonna be hard tracking that guy down. I mean, come on! He's a Ninja Master!"

"Way to stay optimistic." They rolled their eyes.

I frowned, "I don't see why we need to listen to Lothor anyway. I don't think he wants us to get revenge for our parents. I think he wants it for his personal gain."

Hunter and Blake turned to me, "We have no other option! I thought you wanted to get the guy that killed your mom and dad!"

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah. But taking the life of another... we'll be no different than him!"

Hunter glared at me, "I thought you were on our side!"

"I'm just trying to be logical and have a heart!" I snapped, "I just have a feeling that what we're gonna be doing is wrong!"

The two boys turned away from me, "Whatever."

I growled, before I dropped my skateboard down, "If that's how you're gonna be… then fine! I'm going back to the Motel!" With that, I skated back to the motel. When I got there I ran straight for our room, and I cried into my bed before I looked over at the box Sensei Aronshei gave me, "Sensei..." I got up and opened the box and found a letter. I picked it up and read it aloud:

"To the one reading this. If you have found this box, something horrible has happened to me. In this box I have placed the Lunar Eclipse Morpher allowing only the one I have trusted it with, to use it.

I fear dark times ahead, and I fear worse for my students. The one I shall give this to must be brave enough to over come this darkness and let the light shine through." I turned the letter around, as it had newer handwriting on it, "The time I have feared is upon us. I will have the Academy closer to the Wind Ninja's to keep as many of my students as I can, safe. But I fear it will be all for nothing.

I have made my decision on who will be gifted the box. She is the only one willing to do anything bold, and try anything past her limits.

She has the strongest will for adventure. But she must remember these words, 'Moonlit Storm, Ranger Form'.

Her name is; Celestina Palensa."

I dropped the letter to the floor when I finished reading that, "Sensei chose me? He chose me to stop this darkness? Wait... What darkness?!"

I slowly opened the box further and a white contraption with the Japanese sign for Moonlight. I took it out of the box and put it on my left wrist. The second I did I heard a faint shining sound. I looked around, and, when I didn't see anyone, I shook my head, "I probably need a nap anyway." I laid down on my bed, and closed my eyes, quickly falling asleep.

2 and a half hours later...

"Ha! I knew we'd be able to stop them!" I heard Hunter laughing darkly as I woke up.

"Shush! Celea's asleep!" Blake noted, and to keep up that charade I kept my eyes closed and my breathing even.

"Who cares?! She clearly doesn't wanna help us!" Hunter snapped and I felt my bed about to be tipped over, when I heard him gasp, "Dude! Is that...?!"

"A Morpher?!" I nearly lost the charade I was pulling when Blake shouted that and the bed fell down.

"Wake her up, man! We NEED to talk to her!" Hunter decided, and I let my charade fall. I opened my eyes and sat up.

"I'm already awake." I glared at the boy in Crimson, "And F.Y.I. you didn't have to almost throw me off my bed!"

Blake frowned, "You didn't have to turn your back on us!"

"Wow, you're a horrible listener!" I growled angrily, before I got up, "If you two wanna kill someone that may actually be innocent, Go ahead! Just don't ask me to watch!"

I was about to walk out of the Motel room when Hunter grabbed my arm, "You can't be serious." I pulled out of his grasp, "Celea, we're gonna need your power too."

"No! My Sensei entrusted me with it! I'm the hugest slacker in my entire class! I can't let you guys have it!" I snapped angrily, before I stormed out of the Motel. I grabbed my skateboarding gear and started for the skate park.

When I got their I started pushing my new board to it's limits. I went down several ramps, and I grinded across a street pull several times. It wasn't until I heard something up ahead of me that I stopped, and got off my skateboard, "Someone there?" I called out.

"You could say that." It was that Zurgane creep.

"Oh come on! I thought I saw the last of you in Space!" I went into a defensive stance.

"You thought wrong!" He charged at me.

"Whoa!" I back-flipped out of the way, and landed three feet away, "Cranky aren't you?!" I kicked Zurgane in the chest causing him to backtrack.

I had to think fast before I was dead meat, "Sensei if there was ever a time that I needed you NOW would be it!" A sudden memory came to my mind, "The letter! Of course!"

"You won't be remembering anything of that old man when I'm finished with you!" Zurgane charged at me again. I ducked and punched his chest, before I kicked his legs in, causing him to fall.

"Um... wasn't it..." I tried to remember, "Moonlit Storm, Ranger Form?"

My new... Morpher?... glowed, and I felt myself being encased with some sort of fabric. I looked down and saw that I was completely covered with White clothing. The only thing not white were the leggings, and my sleeves, They were black.

"Not another Power Ranger!" Zurgane growled, "I'll deal with you and the other Rangers later!" With that he disappeared.

My mask opened up and I let out a breath, "That was cool." I looked around and cursed my luck. Standing right in front of the half-pipe I was gonna head to next, were Hunter and Blake Bradly.

"Hunter... Blake... What are you two doing here?" I asked casually, willing for my suit to disappear, and, seconds later, it did.

"C... Celea? Are you... Are you a Power Ranger?" They both breathed out, but I had a feeling their shock was fake.

"You already saw this thing," I motioned to what was on my left arm, "So don't try that faking stuff."

Hunter and Blake exchanged looks of sadness before they walked over to me, "Do you wanna know why we saw you become a Power Ranger?"

"Because you told Lothor I didn't trust him." I guessed easily, "So he sent down a minion to try to kill me. And you watched to make sure he did."

Hunter frowned, "Not to kill, to help."

"I hate help." I snarled, before I grabbed my skateboard, "I'm going back to the motel. Do NOT follow me!" With that I pushed off and started for the Motel, and away from the Bradly brothers.

Hunter

3 hours later...

I sighed as I sat down on a bench with Blake, "Man do I feel dumb."

"I feel like we lost a part of ourselves." Blake noted.

I looked over at him, "Because we can't find that Ninja Master as easily as we thought, or because Celea's mad at us?"

"Both." My younger brother answered, "But mainly the second one."

I scuffed, "She made her choice."

Blake shook his head, "No. We turned our backs on her."

I frowned, "She doesn't want what we need to have."

"But she's right. A Ninja Master would never kill anyone like that." Blake sighed, "I think we owe her an apology. And I think a Cake would be a good idea."

I scuffed, "And where are you gonna get the money to do that?"

Blake held up his wallet, "You." He started running, and it took me a second to realize HIS wallet was actually MY wallet.

"HEY! Give that back!" I chased after him.

We were running to the bakery when we saw Celea inside, ordering something. We hid behind a wall as she was coming out, holding a large iced cookie in a clear container, and coming over to us.

"Guys I'm not an idiot, I know you're there." She sighed before we stepped out of the shadows, and handed us the cookie container, "Here. I shouldn't have snapped like I did, I'm sorry."

I took the Container, and looked at Celea, "Why?"

"My Sensei always told me every action has an equal reaction." Celea explained, "And that for every fight I start, they'll be another fight were I get hurt."

"How long have you known your Sensei?" Blake questioned calmly.

"Since I was three." She sighed, "He's raised me like his own daughter." I saw tears escape her eyes, and I got worried.

I hand Blake take the container, and wrapped an arm around Celea's shoulders, "Let's get back to the Motel."

Celea and Blake nodded, "Let's go." We were about to Ninja Streak when Celea glared at he two of us.

"Walking it is." We sighed and started to walk back to the Motel.

30 minutes later...

Celea had thankfully calmed down by the time we got back, and was sitting at the small table in the dinning room section, with Blake, while I cut the cookie into slices.

"I call the remaining icing!" All three of us said at once, then we stopped what we were doing and glared at each other, "I called it! No! I did!"

Celea held up her hands, "Rock, Paper, Scissors?"

After four rounds of said game, Celea was scraping the remaining icing onto her Cookie slice.

"You cheated!" Blake and I complained as we watched her.

"Did not! Scissors cut Paper!" Celea gripped, looking at me.

"Then you gave me Puppy Dog eyes!" Blake noted.

Celea smiled slightly, "Hey, who was the one that bought the Cookie in the first place?" That shut the two of us up, "I thought that'd be the answer."

We chuckled slight as we bit into our slices, "Yum!"

Celea put her slice down and wiped her mouth, "I knew giving that baker my cookie recipe was a good idea."

I raised a brow, and wiped my mouth on my sleeve before talking, "You mean, we're eating something you technically made?"

Celea nodded, "I've been known to bake once or twice. I can't land a straight up job so I give some bakers my Cookie recipe and tell them to send some funds to me."

Blake was already going back for another slice, "Dude, this is SO good!"

Celea smiled at my brother, "Thanks."

"Welcome." We laughed as Blake spit some crumbs out.

I looked over at Celea, she was happy and and gentle, but it seemed like some sort of cover for her anger, "Hey, Celea?"

"Yra?" She answered with a mouth full of her cookie slice.

I chuckled slightly, before I cleared my throat, "I know it's only been a day... but how do you see Blake and I?"

Celea swallowed what was in her mouth and answered, "You're dark and broody, Blake's nice and tough." I nodded at her answer, but something inside was upset with the way she described me. A pair of snapping fingers brought me out of my thoughts.

"You gonna finish that?" My brother pointed at my half eaten slice of the Cookie. I smirked.

"As I mater a fact." I took a bit, "I am."

Celea looked between us, "Ya know... I never told anyone this, not even my Sensei. But, I kinda wish I had a little brother to pick on. It's kinda lonely being an only child."

"Why not a younger sister?" I questioned her word choice.

"Practically every girl my age or older, at my Academy has a younger sister that's more into dolls and dress up, than learning the ways of the Moon."

"And you never were one of them?" Blake asked calmly, before I kicked him under the table, "Ow! It's a simple question!"

"It's okay Hunter." Celea smiled gently, and put a hand on my shoulder, slightly calming me down, "I'm different because I grew up, different. Most Ninja students go to the Academies by choice. Others went because their parents were trained there. But for me, it was because I was dropped on Sensei Aronshei's doorstep."

"With no explanation?" I asked without thinking.

"None what so ever." Celea shook her head, "I only found out about my parents through a little bit of... uh... conversations... with some other Senseis."

I chuckled, "How much did you beg?"

"Well, after one of the Senseis let it slip that I was Adopted about... a weeks worth, I think. This is when I was six, so my attention span shouldn't have been that laser focused on my goal for information." Celea explained.

I looked at her amazed, "Wow."

"I know." Celea smirked, "Even my Sensei thought I'd give it a rest by that Wednesday, but Saturday came, and, not only was he impressed with my persistence he bumped me up a class after he told me I was left on his doorstep to care for."

Blake

I sighed as she finished her story, and we finished off the cookie, "So what do we do now?"

"Wait for the Wind Ninjas to come at us again." Hunter decided.

"You two do that." Celea stood up, and walked over to her bed, "I'm gonna catch some Zs."

I smiled at her, "Have fun."

"Yeah, yeah." She waved me off before falling onto her bed and I heard her snoring.

"Oh man! She's making us clean up!" Hunter realized looking at the mess of the table.

"I don't mind." I shrugged and brought the Clear container that once held the cookie, to the trash can.

"You're missing the point." Hunter groaned, and helped me through the rest of the stuff away.

I looked over at Celea, then over at my brother who had walked over to were she slept. He was about to move her when Celea's hand shot up and wrapped around the collar of his shirt. She looked at him then released her hold, "Geez, Hunter."

"Where'd you learn that?" I chuckled.

Celea sighed, and let Hunter tuck her in, "I've lived in Motels with another Academy boys, I think I learn a thing or two from personal experience."

"You let-"

"I've been a semi-light sleeper all my life." Celea stopped Hunter from asking, "I know how to keep the boys away when I'm resting even more so now."

Hunter nodded, before running a hand through his hair, and looking at me then back at Celea, "Well get some sleep. Wake up when you want."

Celea smiled gently before laying her head down, and turning to her side, "Thanks Hunter. Thanks both of you for not being mad at me."

We shook our heads, "Can't stay mad at you. Especially after that cookie... I don't suppose you'll give us the recipe?"

Celea chuckled sleepily, "Not a chance." I soon heard light snoring and knew she was asleep again.

I pulled Hunter back, "Come on, let's head out to the Quarry. I think Zurgane's facing against the Wind Ninjas again."

Hunter nodded, an evil smirk crossing his face, "Then let's go."

I sighed, Celea was SO gonna be mad at Hunter after this, "Ready?"

"Ready." Hunter nodded.

'Thunder Storm, Ranger Form!' We shouted as we Morphed and headed out to the Quarry.

"I heard the Rangers got a new Bike too." I recalled.

"Let's see if ours are in." Hunter nodded before two Tsunami Cycles appeared in front of us. One Crimson and one Navy Blue.

"Which one's mine?" I joked before I got on the Navy bike.

"Funny." I heard Hunter grumble before we sped off towards the Quarry.

Once at the Quarry...

I smirked on the inside of my helmet as we jumped off our new bikes and landed in front of the Rangers in Primary Colors.

"Those are MY bike designs!" A voice from one of their Morphers yelled.

"Well, now they're ours." I replied.

"Oh great!" The Red Ranger growled angrily, then mumbled something to The Blue Ranger that I couldn't hear.

"I don't know, but we better handle them first." The blue Ranger replied.

"Way ahead of you."

Someone back-flipped and stood in front of the other Rangers, facing us. Their Ranger uniform was consistent with the Blue Ranger's, only differences were; anything blue was white. The helmet had a full half-moon on it as the visor with a sliver band coming to a point at the bottom of it, the sleeves and leggings were black, her gloves were golden, and her chest had the image of an owl's tail in a black circle.

"I'll take care of them. Trust me, I've been looking for an excuse to do this since this morning."

The Red Ranger nodded, before they started to battle some other creepy thing.

The White Ranger undid her visor, revealing Celea as she stared at us, "Okay, I'm giving you one chance to back out now. If not, I won't hesitate to fight you."

"Well too bad. Cause we're just getting started." Hunter shrugged, before we pulled out our staffs, "Thunder Staff!"

"Really big sticks? Okay." Celea closed her visor and something on her belt appeared, "Let's see if you guys can handle this!" She snatched what was on her belt, which looked like a whip, "Eclipse Whip!" She flung one end at us, stopping us in our tracks. She really was gonna fight us.

"Grr... if you think we're gonna play nice because you're our friend! Think again!" We charged at The White Ranger and began our fight.


Okay... I hope you like this chapter... I figured Celea could have a special skill that the brothers could be glad for so they're not truly mad at her...

Now... the 'Apology cookie' thing was because I figured it'd be really tasty... especially if it were technically home made...

Anyway... please review and tell me what you think... please no flames.
