Chelbell2016:
Hi guys, first chapter of this story. Let me know what you think.
*Back to action*
Courtney's POV:
''Dad hurry up we are going to be late.'' I yelled up the stairs why finishing my breakfast. I watched as my new little adopted 'pain in the butt' sister sat eating her breakfast glaring at me. Her name is Leanne and she doesn't like me for some reason.
Dad had adopted her a few weeks ago when he had learned of her past. From the moment he had brought her home she had stayed clear from me. I tried to be nice but she wouldn't allow it. ust then dad arrived down the stairs having just finished getting ready for work.
'Good morning girls, you ready for your first day.'' He asked us both.
''Yeah I cant wait to see Kira,'' I sighed when I looked at him again ''You know she said I could have walked with her today.'' He just gave me that look that said nice try.
Ever since the last battle between us rangers and Lothor, Dad hadn't let me go anywhere on my own.
We all finished breakfast and then we headed out.
*Back to action*
When I arrived at school we all had to go and meet the new head teacher first. I glanced at Leanne who looked very nervous. I tried to send her a warm smile but she ignored it.
''Principal Randall will see you now.'' A secretary lady addressed me and Leanne first and dad would speak to her after.
''So you are Courtney and Leanne Oliver our new students,'' Said a woman as we entered, we both turned to see a woman with short black hair and wearing glasses looking at us ''Well before I give you your schedules I will warn you now I have very high expectations of my students you break my rules there will be consequences do we understand each other.'' We both nodded and she got our folders out.
''Well here Is yours Courtney and yours Leanne I trust that as you used to go here you can point your sister in the right direction of her first class Courtney.'' I nodded and we left.
As we walked away I turned to Leanne. ''What lesson do you have first.'' She sighed but answered me.
''P.E.'' I nodded and pointed out the best way for her to go and then left to go to my own class.
When I found my class a science lab I noticed that I was here just in time as the new teacher wasn't which meat it was my dad. GREAT. I looked around the classroom for a spare seat and my smile grew as I spotted Kira writing something that I would guess to be a song.
''So can your best friend have this seat or is it taken.'' I teased her and her eyes widened when she seen that it was me.
''Courtney how are you.'' She said and I replied in a positive way.
As the door opened I looked up to see my dad enter the room.
''Settle down take your seats please.'' He raised his voice a little to make sure everyone had heard it in the room.
The whole class quietened down and took their seats giving him their full attention. ''I'm Doctor Oliver and this is first period science,'' He said and Kira glanced shocked at me as I guess that I forgot to tell her my dad would be working here ''before we start are their any questions.'' He looked around to see if anyone had raised their hands.
The blonde girl up front that really reminded me of Marah, Cams niece stood up. ''Cassidy, Cassidy Cornell.'' As she stood up to address my dad everyone else in the room groaned at her antics.
"Doctor Oliver, as you may know I'm the anchor and reporter for our school TV station," the class groaned again "Im sure our viewers are wondering - well, you don't look old enough to be a teacher." Her smile dropped as she turned around "Devin, are you getting this?" she barked at a brown haired boy.
"Cassidy," Tommy replied "I promise you, Im old enough. So let's put the camera away."
"You missed it!" she hissed to the boy as they returned to their seats.
"For now let's talk about you guys," Tommy continued "and what you expect of yourselves in this class," he went on "Because that's what's really important" he looked around the silently non-responsive class until his eyes fell upon an empty stool "Is uh, someone missing?" As the class went on I took notes to make sure that I had everything and as the bell rang I put everything in my bag. Me and Kira got up and I smiled at my dad as we walked out.
*Back to action*
Me and Kira were sitting in the courtyard at lunch while she went over some lyrics that she was writing for us.
"I wanna know, know where you're at.
Im at the front, but you're still at the back.
Oh, can you tell me where, tell me where you're at?
Freak you out, Freak you out.
Freak you out, Freak you o-out.
Freak you out, Freak you out.
Freak you out, Freak you o-out."
I spotted Leanne a little way away and noticed that it looked like something was wrong so i motioned to Kira that I would be back in a minute and walked over.
''Everything OK.'' I asked and the boys that were with her walked away.
''YOU know I was handling that fine.'' She spat at me and I started to get angry.
''What is your problem I'm only trying to help you.'' I demanded from her.
Before she could answer Principal Randall approached us and started to address us.
''Arguing on school premises on your first day that is not good follow me.'' I was a bit angry now. I noticed that one of the school jocks and Kira was also here. I looked at Kira with a raised eyebrow and she mouthed 'singing' as we carried on following her the sprinklers went off all around the school making everyone scream in shock. girls run for safety to avoid getting wet; screams of 'my hair!' came from the prissy girls as they covered their heads with jackets and bags to keep their hairstyles from coming loose.
Randall walked up to an African- American boy and pulled him along as well and then she made us sit down at the front of the school.
''Principal Randall can I just say there is no proof connecting me to those cri-''
''Save it for judge Judy Mr James,' Randall snapped at him '' the five of you have detention starting today. Any objections.''
We all began to argue against this but she shut us up with a ''I didn't think so.''
After school all five of us were gathered around again waiting for Randall. I was really upset to see my dad was taking detention and even more upset when he looked angrily at me. What about Leanne?
''Im certain you have all met, oh and by the way the reason your daughters have detention is because they were arguing really loudly outside.'' He looked from me to her and didn't look happy.
''So you like museums?'' My dad asked.
*Back to action*
''Whoa.'' The boy named Ethan said looking at the dinosaur in front of the museum ''Check out the T-Rex.'' He finished.
I glanced up at the T-rex statue but something didn't feel right about it. I think my old sensing powers were telling me this but as I haven't used them in two months I wouldn't know.
We walked up to the door but their was a signed closed on it.
"That's weird," Tommy commented,
Connor sighed "Oh well, no museum for us.''
"Great," Kira murmured "Let's go home.''
Tommy turned to the teens "I'll tell you what, why don't you guys have a look around the grounds?" he inquired "if you find anything prehistoric, I'll cancel detention for the rest of the week."
"Sweet," Ethan nodded.
"Im gonna see if I can find someone who can tell me when they're opening up" Tommy stated. We went to walk away but he stopped me and Leanne.
''Courtney watch out for Leanne and Leanne listen to Courtney.'' He said and we nodded.
"So lemme get this straight," Connor began, looking at Ethan as the four teens entered the woods around the museum "There is a club, just for computers?"
I rolled my eyes at the jock ''Well if there's a soccer club whats wrong with their being a computer club?'' I asked him but he didn't answer instead waiting for Ethan's answer.
"Hey, have you guys ever heard of the story about that guy?" Ethan asked.
The rest of us stared at him. ''What guy?'' Leanne asked and I turned to make sure that se was following us which she was.
"He was hiking up here, and fell into a giant sinkhole" the boy in blue explained and Leanne looked curious but me and Conner and Kira look at him in confusion.
"Must have missed that one," Kira said sarcastically.
"Come on!" Ethan exclaimed, walking backwards to look at the three "It was on all the urban legend websites!"
Connor chuckled; and he reminded me of someone but I could not put my foot on it.
"Dude, this isn't computer club" he reminded him.
"Oh, I guess you're too big and bad to surf the web!" Ethan mocked, as he continued to walk backwards "So what do you do in your spare times?" he asked.
Connor smirked "I go out with girls," he answered "You know their the ones at school, that smell really good with the long hair and the make-up."
"Oh it's like that is it?" Ethan asked, stopping the soccer star.
Connor glared down at him "Yeah," he said "It's like that!"
"Pur-lease!" Kira stated, and me her and Leanne walked by the guys to get away from their argument. Ethan sighed.
"All, Im trying to do is give you guys the heads up," he called after them "Stuff happens out here! Just don't come crying to me when you fall in a giant sinkhole." About a second after he spoke I felt my stomach drop as I fell through the ground and landed hard.
Dust was everywhere as the five of us got back to our feet. I started coughing trying to clear my lungs a little.
''Alright you guys stay here where it is safe,'' Conner said herding the four of us together ''I'll climb up and come back with help.'' He tried to climb the wall but fell and hit the ground again when a twig he had grabbed onto broke.
''Back already.'' I mocked him.
''Look as we cant get back up the only thing that makes sense is to follow the trail.'' They nodded and we took off.
*Back to action*
We continued to walk with Leanne, Kira and Ethan trailing behind. I kept glancing back at Leanne but she wouldn't look at me.
Kira had started to softly sing. She was walking on ahead. "Freak you out...Freak you out...Freak you out...Freak you o-out..." she sang softly
Connor quickened his pace and patted Kira's shoulder as he passed her.
"Babe, could you keep it down?" he smirked "Im trying to focus."
''Did you just call me babe,'' she turned to me and Leanne and Ethan ''did he just call me babe.''
Kira stepped up to him and angrily addressed him. "Listen, my name is Kira! Maybe you should write it on your hand or something...so you can remember." I smiled at the way she handled herself.
''Hey guys look at this.'' Leanne said and I turned around to see she had carried on walking while we were watching Kira snap at Conner.
We walked towards where her voice was coming from. We walked through the tunnels until we found her. She had her back to us, and was facing a giant skeleton on the side of a wall. It was of a tyrannosaurus.
We gathered around Leanne and Kira spoke. ''This screams Jurassic Park to me" she murmured.
"This will get us out of detention forever!" Connor grinned, stepping forward and reaching for the jaw. I reached out and grabbed his hand.
''Look maybe you shouldn't.'' I told him. This place reminded me of ninja ops.
Conner did not listen and he snapped the mouth of the dinosaur open. The wall slid upwards to reveal some sort of science lab.
''Whoa.''Conner said looking around in shock at the lab.
We walked in and looked around at all the computers and my first thought is that Cam would love it in here.
"I could do a crazy video in here," Kira smiled, looking around. Me and Leanne looked at each other both with shocked looks on their faces.
Connor passed Ethan and patted his shoulder "This must be like the mother ship for you, dude."
"Normally, I'd be insulted" Ethan responded "But when you're right, you're right" he grinned.
In the centre of the room there was a large meteor-like thing sitting on a table, with mist pouring out of it. I looked at it to see five different coloured gems on it. Red, yellow, blue, orange and purple.
I knew that something weird was going on here but how would I tell the others I was bound by ninja law to keep it a secret.
Conner went to pick up the red gem but I stopped him. ''Don't touch it.'' I told him and he just looked at me weird.
"Look, I have sat through enough lame science classes in my life to know that thing looks fully prehistoric" Connor pointed out "and if I don't have to miss practice."
"I hate to agree with him. I really do. But I already missed band practice" Kira agreed.
I looked at Leanne who was looking at the gems curiously. We all picked them up. When I picked the orange one up I felt a sudden surge of power that I hadn't felt since I was a fire ninja ranger. As we held them they glowed.
''Well,'' Kira said looking curiously at the yellow gem ''What are they?'' She asked.
''No clue.'' Leanne said slowly turning the purple gem in her hands.
''I can go online later and see if I can find out.'' Ethan suggested, fascinated with the blue gem he had in his hands.
Conner chuckled lightly. ''You in front of a computer?'' He spoke to Ethan ''Wait let me put on my surprised face.''
''That was uncalled for Conner.'' I said sending a glare his way.
''Its Ok Courtney,'' Ethan stopped me and turned to Conner himself ''because ten years from now when you're hair lines receding and you are playing pick-up soccer in the park because you're dreams of turning pro didn't quite work out... I'll have my own multi-billion dollar software business.'' He looked really happy and proud when he said that.
Leanne shook her head and headed for the exit with Kira.
''Whoa were are you going?'' I asked her and she turned to me and I thought she was going to say something bad but she just answered my question.
''I don't want to think about what kind of freak lives here,'' she said in a surprisingly gentle voice ''and I sure don't want to be here when he gets home.'' I looked at the boys and nodded.
''Lets go.'' I told them and they nodded.
*Back to action*
We had been walking through the tunnels for about fifteen minutes me using my ninja instincts to lead us to the way out.
''This way,'' I told them all and they all looked at me wondering how I knew where I was going.
''How do you know you are not a walking compass.'' Leanne smirked at me and I had to fight the urge to laugh. They were shocked that I had led them to the woods which means we were nearly back into town.
All of a sudden a gust of wind blew around us that sent shivers down my spine.
''The wind.'' Kira asked.
It blew again and I gave her my answer. ''That was no wind.'' I told her.
at that moment a sudden flash of light appeared and so did these freaky looking creatures that reminded me of the foot soldiers named Kelzacks.
All five of us backed up and Conner began to speak. ''Don't...move...'' I rolled my eyes but before I could remark Kira did.
''Great idea make it easier for them.'' Kira said sarcastically.
''New plan,'' Ethan said ''RUN.'' We all took off. the only reason I was running was because I couldn't use my powers in front of civilians.
We reached a huge ditch. Conner being long legged and a jock made it easily. Ethan struggled but managed it. I used my ninja skills to make sure I made it but Kira and Leanne couldn't do it. Kira jumped and slipped but we pulled her up. Leanne wouldn't even try because she is small.
''Leanne take my hand I'll pull you up.'' I called she looked unsure. ''Leanne trust me i wont let anything happen.''
she took the chance and I helped her over. ''Thanks.'' she said and we carried on running. All of a sudden we all had to cover our ears as a loud piercing scream that had my senses ringing. We turned around to see Kira on the ground. It appear she fell and it also appears that he had done that screaming.
''What was that?'' Ethan asked her.
''I don't know.'' She said but the yellow gem in her hand began to glow.
We went to run again when the freakish monsters appeared. I knew there was no way we were getting out of this one without a fight so i stopped. We all split up but I made sure I was close to Leanne just incase.
I did a tornado kick that hit one of the monsters and punched another. Ducking down to sweep another's feet out from under them I notice one running really fast at me. I go to raise my shield but all of a sudden I raise my arm and the monsters go flying. 'Did I just move them with my mind.' I looked down to hear a animalistic roar coming from my gem. As I had got rid of all of mine I turn to see where Leanne had got too to see she had somehow managed to blast them away from her with some sort of blast waves that came out of her hands.
I ran over and helped her finish them off before they disappeared I looked to see Leanne was staring at her hands worried about what she had done.
''Dude how much do I love detention.'' Ethan said holding his gem up.
We all shook our heads trying to catch our breaths as dad arrived. ''You guys alright?'' He asked and we nodded.
''Were fine.'' Leanne said.
''Nothing out of the ordinary happened.'' He wondered. I had a feeling that he knew something we didn't.
''Naw just your usual routine hike in the woods,'' He said to my dad ''lots of furry little creatures.'' He finished.
''And a few scaly ones.'' Kira added which made my dad look a her.
Conner decided to change the subject. ''So did you get into the dino exhibit?'' He asked.
''Uh still working the kinks out,'' I raised an eyebrow at the way he was speaking, he was hiding something ''we better get you guys back c'mon.''
Once dad had started to walk a little on ahead Leanne spoke. ''Don't you think we should tell him?'' She asked but the others shook their heads and I didn't know what to say.
''I don't know about you but I've gone over a thousand sci-fi DVD's,'' Ethan started looking over at her ''and you wanna know how many times the dude with the super power ends up in some freaky government lab on a table with wires in his head.'' He finished and Conner nodded his head in agreement.''
''Even I know that.'' He remarked.
Dad stopped and looked back at us. ''You guys coming?'' He asked and we all started walking a little quicker.
*Back to action*
The next day after school all five of us are gathered together.
''OK so we all agree,'' Conner began looking around at us all ''no one talks about this to anyone!'' He finished but before any of us could reply Leanne turned around.
''I'll do better than that,'' she said ''I'm out just forget I was here and I'll do the same.'' My eyes widen as she passes the purple gem to Conner.
Ethan frowned at her. ''Hang on how come he gets it.'' He says.
''Well here.'' She says and hands it too Ethan we continue to try and stop her but before long she walks off. A minute or two later those freaky green creatures appear.
''Leanne.'' Me Conner Kira and Ethan started to run over but by the time we got over there the weird creatures had disappeared and they had taken Leanne with them.
*Back to action*
''We need to go and see my dad now.'' I told the other three walking off but I hadn't got far before Conner had grabbed my arm and turned me towards him.
''Hang on if were going then I'll drive I have a car.'' seeing as they are involved now anyway I nodded my head. I needed answers.
A few minutes later I am sitting in the passenger seat of Conner's car giving him directions but they are confused and Conner asks me what is on his mind.
''What makes you think that your dad will know anything.'' He asks looking at me out of the corner of his eye.
I sigh. I can't tell them that. ''He's a science teacher maybe he knows what where dealing with,'' I tell him and he nods his head ''besides that's his adopted daughter they have took you would think that he would help us figure it out for her.''
He asked me where my address is and I gave it to him. ''Valencia Road.'' He looks confused and turns to me.
''Valencia road is like way out in the middle of the woods.'' He says and I nod my head.
''Yeah I like the scenery whats wrong with that?'' I asked but he didn't answer.
We arrived and I walked them up the path and pushed the door straight open.
''You don't lock your doors?'' Conner asked me shocked and I giggled at him.
''No neighbours to harass us whats the point.'' I told him.
''You ever heard of the three bears.'' Conner teased.
Ethan rolled his eyes. ''Was that the last book you ever read?'' Ethan asked and I burst out laughing along with Kira.
''Come on in guys,'' I told them and then turned to yell ''DAD YOU HERE.'' I asked but there was no answer.
I turned back around to see Conner looking at my dads miniature T-Rex skeleton. ''Hey check this out.'' He said to me Ethan and Kira.
''I wouldn't touch that my dad don't let even me touch it.'' I told him ''besides do you remember what happened last time.''
''Dude your dads a teacher,'' He said touching the jaw ''not...'' he stopped as the jaw dropped down and my front room floor opened up beside him to reveal a staircase. ''Batman.'' He finished raising an eyebrow at me.
''Dude I swear I had no idea that was there.'' I told him as shocked as him.
*Back to action*
My mouth is open as I walk down the secret stairs in my living room with my three friends and it is the same room from yesterday where we found the gems.
''WHAT THE...'' I called.
Kira followed me and also looked shocked.
Ethan came down and spoke. ''It's the same place.'' I roll my eyes as he states the obvious.
''You really didn't know?'' Conner asked I shook my head.
Kira finally spoke. ''Are you freaking out right now.''
All of a sudden a voice comes from behind me and I jump.
''I you're looking for extra credit,'' I turned to see my dad and he looks at all of us with anger clear in his eyes ''you've come to the wrong place.''
