Chapter 2 Notes and Realizations

Up above the blue jewel known as the Earth. Lothor sat on this throne thinking. "I need to find a way to get that girl." He grumbled looking about his eyes alighted on Zurgane. "General, any word on the Mage named Angel?"
"No sir, we are looking across Blue Bay for her now." the black armored general said quickly. For thats what the kalzacks were doing. Searching for the mage that was a key to Lothor's plan.
"She must be brought to me by the next full moon general." Lothor pointed out to him. "The full moon is in two weeks, consider that your time frame. Don't mess it up."
"I will not sir." The black armored general bowed and gathered more kalzacks to go search for Mage Angel.
The ninja storm teens were walking along the beach. They had come to the place where the battle had been. They looked around for clues. Hunter sighed running his fingers though his messy hair. His keen blue eyes missed nothing. He could not believe one girl had held off six kalzacks on her own. Then he shook his head.
"I could hold off six kalzacks." Tori pointed out to him. Blake hugged her and looked at his brother.
Hunter nodded."I know. Just not that many girls can do that sort of thing." He looked past Blake and Tori. His mind in a jumble for the girl's style of fighting was nagging him. He kept seeing her move in his mind's eye. 'It will come to me. I know her bloody style.' Hunter growled at himself.
Blake shook his head knowing his brother was stewing over this new development with his usual single mindedness. Tori hugged him.
Shane was searching near Dustin when his goofy buddy spotted a piece of paper tucked between two rocks. "Hey guys,come see." Dustin picked up the paper and realized it was a note. He was looking at the words then blinked as he read the note the blacked haired girl left.

The note said:

Dear Power Rangers,

If you could trust someone you did not know. Could you send one of your fellow rangers. I have a favor to ask you. Please meet me by the bridge in the park in one hour. This is important. I beg of you please send someone.

Friend in need,
Angel

P.S. Send a girl if you can. Meeting a guy would be too nerve wracking for me.

Dustin read it out load to them all. They all started to look at Tori. Blake hugged his beloved and leaned on her as the others stared at her waiting for her answer.
Tori sighed and felt Blake squeeze her in comfort. "Ok, but you all owe me."
"We know Tori." Shane said. "We would not ask this of you but."
"Your the only girl Dude." Dustin pointed out.
Hunter looked at his brother's girlfriend. "We will be there also. Just not where she can see us."
"Thank you Hunter." Tori smiled at him. "That makes me feel a ton better."
Hunter winked at her and Blake hugged her again.

At the bridge, Tori leaned looking out at the ocean. She watched the swells looking deceivingly gentle and beautiful as she took them in. She could feel the ocean in her blood. It called out to her in ways most people would never understand.
Tori turned as she heard foot steps coming toward her. she spotted a pale girl with shoulder length dark hair running toward her. "Oh good your here." she ran to Tori with a bloody arm. She seemed to not realize she was hurt. "Are you a power ranger?"
Tori took in the taller girl her green eyes were filled with pain and a flash of power. Tori knew within an instant that this girl could not fight her way out of a paper bag. Though her body was toned you could tell she was no fighter.
"What do you mean oh good your here?" Tori looked at the girl before her. "Never said that. They sent me to meet you if thats what you mean." She took in the arm and sighed raising an eyebrow she asked. "What happen to your arm?!"
Tori felt better talking to this strange girl knowing that the guys were close by and within yelling distance if his girl turned out to be a monster. None of them knew that another girl watched, one with a long braid. She took in both groups. The two girls and the four guys. She noted their colors and the devices on their wrists, she smiled softly and laughed continuing her watch.
For she knew the drama would begin again. For Angel still did not fully understand the danger she was in. "She is a brilliant mage. But lacks common sense. I swear." The girl muttered continuing to watch and see if she would be needed.
Angel looked at Tori and sighed feeling suddenly foolish. "I got cut by the thing I was trying to fight." She sighed. "I know I cannot fight well." She laughed softly. "Ok I cannot fight at all and cat fights don't really count."
Tori had to allow a brief smile appear on her lips. She considered the young woman before her. She knew Angel was her age. "Do you know what their called. The warriors you fought?
"No." Angel sighed then she described them to Tori.
Tori sighed wondering how she react to the name of what she had been fruitlessly fighting. "The news is calling them kalzacks." The blonde waited for Angel's reaction. She was not disappointed.
"KALZACKS!" Angel gasped looking up at Tori. Fear appeared in her eyes. "I though I be safe here." She gulped looking around wildly knowing that he was watching them most likely. "Oh,no.What is Lothor doing here?" Fear appeared in her voice as she started shaking for she still was unaware of why Lothor wanted her.
Tori was surprised to see she knew Lothor. The blonde did not show it. She noted the fear and the change in stance in the girl before her. She made a rapid decision. She noted the guys coming toward her. They all seemed to be in agreement with her. "We're going to finish this conversation at elsewhere.Come on."
"NO!! I'm not going." Angel exclaimed backing away from Tori. She ran right into Shane's chest. He instantly wrapped an arm around her. She flinched then relaxed in his grip, though neither of them knew why.
"But we can help you." Shane said softly. He looked at Cam. The young man in green winced and sighed knowing he had no choice.
"I don't care." Angel cried, feeling suddenly trapped by the cute guy holding on to her.
"Its a bit late for that now." Hunter growled. "For we are going."
Cam teleported the seven to ninja ops.
The watcher smiled. "At least they will help you. though I best stick around. For they cannot be everywhere."
With that the watcher went for a drive and ended up in Storm Chargers looking at things.
A pretty red head looked at her. Kelly watched the dark haired girl getting a good feeling from her like she did from Dustin, Blake and Hunter she came over. For her store kept getting busier and busier. "Excuse me?"
"Hai...Yes." the young woman with the braid smiled slightly. "Sorry my Japanese is slipping in my words again."
Kelly could see a faint scar on her face. It was almost not there but the light caught it just right for her eyes to pick it up. "I need another employee." She noted the strange look. "I am the owner."
The girl nodded. "I am Shi and I accept the job." She smile lightly. "Need me to start now."
Kelly nodded and Shi started working for Kelly that day. Kelly wondered how the boys would react to her adding another girl into the mix at the store. She knew that Shi was a very hard worker and her attitudes reminded her of the elder of the Trejo brothers. Kelly had to smile for she could already see the sparks flying when the two would have to work together.
"Life is about to get more complicated." Kelly said softly as she rang up a sale. The high strung red head did not realize how right she was.

At Ninja ops, they all started to look at her as Cam fixed Angel's arm. Angel squirmed and Cam just gripped her arm tighter. "Sit still or it will hurt worse. " Cam commanded and Angel said still sighing.
Hunter had to smirk he was watching Shane and Dustin. He knew why Dustin was miles away. Dustin was still hung up on Marah even though she had hurt him. The space ninja girl had stolen the yellow ninja's heart like a thief steals jewels in he night. That pissed him off to no end, for Hunter did not enjoy watching Dustin being in pain. He hoped it would work out. Either he get over her, or she really change and not pretend. Though he doubted she could change. Marah seemed different and he knew the others felt the same. It was almost like she had to try too hard to be evil. She shook his head. Smiling slightly with his realization. For he knew it was right. Marah had to try too hard to be evil. "Maybe there's hope for her." He mummered to himself. No one heard him. "And for Dustin." He sighed watching his fellow rangers and wondered who was next going to be hit by the love disease.
Now Shane had that dreamy look in his eyes as he watched Angel. Hunter thought he was going to get mentally sick from all the sugar in the air from the three guys. He blinked when he heard Shane speak up.
"You said in the note that left at the beach that you need a favor." Shane was looking at her like she was an angel that had fallen from the heavens. To grace the mortal plane with her lovely presence. Hunter and Cam exchanged glances. So far the oldest of the rangers had remained unscathed by cupid's bow. though both wondered how long that would last.
"What are you looking at me like that?" Angel could feel Shane's eyes taking her in. She felt like he was trying to eat her alive with only his eyes.
"SHANE!!!" Tori growled gaining her friends attention. Shane blinked as he caught Tori's look. He could feel heat suffering his face. He knew he was blushing and that realization made his blush turn darker much to the amusement of Hunter and Cam.
Angel started to laugh and Shane started to blush.
Tori groaned softly and takes Shane by the shirt and takes him outside. She can tell his head is still in the clouds even though he is as red as his shirt.
"Shane." Tori said rolling her eyes for she could tell her best friend was a million miles away. And the cause of this sudden distraction was still sitting in Ninja Ops.
"Yes, Angel." He said in a dreamy sort of voice.
"WHAT?! Shane, I'm not Angel I'm Tori.Oh, I get it." She looked at her friend realizing just as Hunter and Cam did. Cupid just claimed another ranger in his plans of love. She smirked knowing Shane would prolly not alighted it completely.
"Get what?" He looked at her. Not sure if he liked that smirk on her face. For Tori's eyes were laughing at him.
"You like Angel." Tori said gently. "You just met her Shane." She sighed. "I know she is cute. Just get to know her first ok."
"Alright Tori." Shane smiled softly feeling silly. "I'll do as you say. Take my time and get to know her first."
Tori sighed glad she had gotten though to him. For Shane could be thick skulled at times. She was glad this was not one of them. "We'll talk later. Let's go back inside."

Inside Ninja Ops, Shane looked around trying to find Angel. "Where Angel go?"
"Cam teleported her to the park." Blake said softly. Tori came and sat in his lap and he wrapped his arms around her.
"I thought it be safer that way." Cam stated from his spot near the scrolls. Cyber Cam was working on something with the computer. "That way she has no clue where we are located. She already knows our faces. She don't need to know the location of our 'Secert' base."
Shane nodded. "Very true."
Hunter was watching what Cyber Cam was doing. "Your going over that battle with the one girl saving Angel."
"Yes I am." Cyber Cam smiled lightly. "Also looking over your bridge meeting. The girl was there as well."
"WHAT!?!?!" The entire group exclaimed looking at Cyber Cam and they all came over to the computer and he showed them.
"She is good." Hunter frowned. "Especially if none of us sensed her." He crossed his arms. "I don't like this."
"Cam, Cyber Cam and I will look over the data. You must go back to your lives." Sensei pointed out to his students. They all bowed and left.
At Storm Chargers, the group walked in and realized that the girl that fought off all those kalzacks and watched them on the bridge was helping Kelly with inventory and restocking. They also noted she was really good with the customers.
Dustin walked over to his boss. "Kelly who is the new girl?" Hunter, Blake, Tori and Shane all gathered around Dustin and his red haired boss.
"Shi." Kelly called the girl over. The dark haired braided girl walked quickly over to Kelly.
"Hai?" She said softly looking at her boss.
"Shi these are your fellow employees." Kelly smiled. "They are also friends for their sport." Kelly smiled. she motioned to each person as she introduced them to Shi and vice versa.
