Olivia clung onto Kelly as if her life depended on it. Given the circumstances though, the idea wasn't as farfetched as it would have been any other day. No matter where she and the others went, dead or injured bodies were scattered. Twice, now, the group of four had to hide from robot-looking-Kalzacks. Once in Storm Chargers and another time when they made it to a creepy looking forest.

While Olivia was terrified, Alex couldn't have been any more excited. He was marching alongside Hunter, asking various questions about his past as a Power Ranger, as well as questions about where they were headed and how Hunter had managed to hide a black and crimson leather ninja uniform under what Hunter called "civilian clothing".

Finally, the group reached a waterfall. Hunter stopped just before the edge of the path and turned to the trio following him.

"We're almost there," he said.

"It looks like a dead end," Kelly frowned. She examined every direction, including the one they had just come from. "You're not leading us to a dead end, are you?"

"I know Kelly screwed up your wedding day, but if this is some plan to get back at her, can you please not include us?" Olivia asked fearfully.

"If I wanted to get back at Kelly, do you really think I would kill hundreds of people?"

"Those people were really dead?" Alex frowned, the news finally sinking in. He turned to the two girls, noticing their terror. This wasn't a simulation or a game. This seemed to be real. He looked back at Hunter, "But, you're a Ranger, you're supposed to save them… right?"

"Ladies first," Hunter said, motioning to the lake before them. Kelly stepped forward and let go of Olivia. She reached down to touch the water with her hand and then glared at Hunter.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Just trust me," Hunter said. He saw no one was about to take the lead, so he stepped onto the water first. To everyone's surprise, he stayed afloat. Alex' jaw dropped and his excitement was back. He followed Hunter and carefully stepped onto the water. His eyes widened as he turned to the girls.

"This is amazing!"

"Alex, be careful!" Kelly called to him, but Alex was ignoring her. He started running around, enjoying the sensation of floating on water.

Kelly turned her attention back to Olivia as she took the seventeen year old's hand. Slowly, she helped Olivia step onto the water. Olivia cringed as her foot touched the water, but like Hunter, Alex and Kelly before her, she too stayed afloat.

Hunter grabbed Alex' shirt before he went too far and started pulling the boy towards the water fall. Alex struggled to keep his balance while Hunter pulled and then pushed him into the falling water. He screamed as he fell forward and suddenly disappeared into a portal.

"HUNTER!" Kelly shouted. Hunter turned to her and shrugged.

"He should be fine," he smiled.

"Should?"

"Would you like to go after him?" Hunter said. He cocked an eyebrow as Kelly took a step back. He let out a long sigh after a moment of hesitation. He took her hand, "Trust me. I might still be mad at you, but I would never do anything to put you or the kids in any danger."

Kelly looked at the waterfall and then at Hunter. He nodded and she felt a little more confident. She turned to Olivia and saw the girl was mortified and shaking from the terror. Knowing she needed to stay calm and brave, Kelly walked towards the portal and disappeared.

Hunter took Olivia's hand, "C'mon, it's safer in there, I promise."

Behind Olivia and about a mile from where she and Hunter were standing, another bomb dropped. Olivia jumped into his arms and he quickly ran towards the portal.

When he and Olivia appeared on the other side, Alex and Kelly were standing there, waiting for them. But the two weren't waiting by choice. They were stuck in awe as they looked around at what used to be some kind of Academy. They could see the remains of what they believed were a tall building, and the vast land before it was completely destroyed. Red, blue, and yellow flags waved pathetically in the wind and the once green grass was gone completely. The land was now covered in dark dirt and sand and, in some places, glass.

"What is this place?" Kelly asked as Hunter appeared.

"It used to be the Wind Ninja Academy," Hunter answered her. He looked around, "I'm thinking whatever hit Blue Bay Harbour hit this place too."

"Now where do we go?" Alex asked the Crimson Ranger. Hunter began to move forward, searching for the doorway that would take him to ninja ops. With any luck it would still be intact.

He brushed the debris from the top of the wooden trapdoor and pulled it open. Inside he could see it was completely black. Not a good sign considering he was hoping to meet his baby brother and the rest of his friends here.

"Come," Hunter waved the others over and carefully helped them inside Ninja Ops. Alex and Olivia looked around in awe. Kelly was next. Once she was inside she turned to Hunter who was right behind her.

"Should I be mad?" she asked him. "How long have you guys been hiding behind a waterfall?"

Hunter pressed his hand against a keypad on the wall and suddenly the room lit up. This was a good sign at least. It meant that Ninja Ops was still intact and until he could figure out where the next safe place was, this would have to do.

"This is called Ninja Ops," Hunter began to explain. "This is where Shane, Dustin, and Tori were trained in the ways of the Wind Ninjas and where Blake and I agreed to team up with them to defeat Lothor. This was the base of operations for the Ninja Storm Power Rangers and in this moment is it serving as a safe house for the four of us."

"So, like, we're standing where the Power Rangers used to stand?" Olivia asked.

"I still can't believe you're a Power Ranger!" Alex grinned. He walked to Cam's computer and started toying around with the buttons.

"I can't believe I never figured it out!" Kelly frowned. She glared at Hunter. The Crimson Ranger shrugged and laughed.

"C'mon. You had to have some clue? Rangers aren't as subtle as they think, really. I mean, they wear their colours all the time, they disappear when there is danger, and I don't think I can count the number of times there's been trouble and the six of us have run towards it!"

"This is insane!" Alex shouted happily. Hunter turned to the boy and was surprise to see he already had the machine up and running. He quickly rushed over.

"Alex!" he slammed his hand down on the keyboard and glared at the young boy, "These aren't toys! One wrong move and you could do some serious damage!"

"People are already dying," Alex shrugged. He pointed to the monitor. When Hunter had slammed his hand down, he had hit the perfect combination of buttons that used to allow Cam to tap into security cameras all over the city. On the screen, robots were still stomping around town, this time led by bigger robots. Back in the Ranger days, Hunter would have referred to them as Lothor's generals. In fact, they seemed to act a lot like the alien generals Lothor used to work with. One was walking around aimlessly and pestering the other, who didn't seem to know much more, but was still slightly more threatening than the bouncy robot. "I don't see how much harm I can actually do."

"Are you kidding me?" Hunter heard Cam's voice shouting as the Green Ranger and Sensei Watanabe arrived in Ninja Ops. Cam raced over to the computer and quickly shut it off. He looked at Kelly, Alex and Olivia and then turned his stern gaze over to Hunter. "You brought them here?"

Hunter nodded, "Cam, you've met Kelly before. And these are her two student employees, Alex and Libby."

"Nice to meet you," Cam nodded politely before glaring at Hunter once more, "In case you forgot, this is a private secret base."

"As opposed to the public secret bases," Olivia frowned. She turned to Hunter, "Are we not allowed to be here."

"In normal circumstances Hunter would not have been allowed to bring you," Sensei Watanabe nodded, "However, given the conditions and the attacks happening all over the world, I have no problem with Hunter bringing his friends."

"Kelly's not a friend," Hunter pressed.

"Dudes, you made it!" Dustin said as he and Shane rushed in, looking ragged. He had been so afraid something had happened to his friends and was relieved to see them all alive and well.

"Sensei," Shane said, bowing slightly as he greeted his elder, "Do you know what's going on?"

"Bombs and robotic invasions are happening all over the world," Cam answered. "Countries are falling fast and people are being murdered in the streets."

"By robots," Alex added, "They were right outside Storm Chargers. Where did they come from?"

"I'll let you know when I find out," Cam said. He sat down in his chair and started working on the computer, this time without Alex fiddling around on it. Hopefully he could find some information about what was happening.

Hunter turned to Sensei, "The morphers aren't going to start magically working for us, are they?" he asked. Sensei shook his head sadly.

"I'm afraid not, Hunter. This time we're defenceless."

"And we're two Rangers down anyways," Shane pointed out. "Has anyone seen or heard from Tori and Blake since the bombs started falling?"

No one answered.

Cam spun around in his chair to face the others. He had a sad look on his face.

"Nothing seems to be working," he said. "The security tapes are failing, almost one by one, and I can't access anything. The internet, the database…. It's like it's all been fried."

"You can't track Tori and Blake?"

"How do you track people?" Olivia asked. Hunter pulled out his necklace, reminding her of the strange piece of technology.

"There's no way to track anything," Cam shook his head. "Anyways, there might not be a point."

Alex walked up beside him to have another look at the computer screen. Curiosity got to him again and he pressed another button. One window came up, displaying the live footage from the security cameras that were still functioning. The video was a little blurry, but Alex was thankful for that fact.

Cam turned around when he noticed Alex was playing with the computer. He shook his head and was about to scold the boy who seemed to be more annoying that Dustin used to be when he saw the footage as well.

"They're all dead," he muttered. Alex backed away as he heard the words being spoken.

Hunter stepped forward, "What?"

Cam flipped though the different cameras each had a different view of the city. While he was missing a lot of Blue Bay Harbour, he had seen enough to make a fair assumption.

"All the bodies… they're all dead," Cam repeated. "I don't see a single life form in Blue Bay Harbour."

"You mean aside from the crazy robots?" Olivia asked. She was hugging herself, clearly afraid of what was happening over her head. While the bombs were far in the distance, every once in a while she could hear one exploding. To make matters worse, she could see some falling on the security footage.

"Robots aren't alive, Lib," Alex stated. Kelly glared at the boy.

"Alex…"

He turned to his boss. Kelly glared at him and nodded her head in Olivia's direction.

"We're all scared," he told him, "its okay. We don't need you making it worse."

"Sorry."

Hunter leaned over Cam's shoulder and took over on the computer. He needed to look for himself to see if his ex-fiancée and his baby brother were still alive.

"Hunter…" Cam started.

"They have to be here," Hunter said. He looked at Cam, "Can you check the Academy grounds? Maybe they're already here?"

"They would have been here by now," Shane whispered sadly. Dustin nodded his head. While he agreed with Shane's statement, he hoped it wasn't true. Tori and Blake would be able to survive this. Tori had paid a lot of attention in Ninja survival class and Blake, while no longer officially a Ninja, was still one of the best.

Cam turned back to the computer screen. There had to be something that would help him. As he searched through the computer he could hear a faint voice talking through his speakers. It wasn't a loud voice, so he had to lean in closer to hear what it was saying.

Suddenly, Dustin heard a different noise that caught his attention and it was coming from the other side of the trap door. He rushed to the entrance, while still staying safely inside Ninja Ops.

"Wait!" he shouted and then proceeded to silence everyone else. "I… I hear something. Maybe it's them."

The room fell silent for a moment and everyone tried to listen to the noise. It didn't take long before they all realised that the noise was making a loud whistling sound.

"Dustin!" Shane shouted as he grabbed his best friend and pulled him away from the entrance. The ground shook, gently at first, but as the whistling sound grew louder, the shaking became more intense. Before anyone had any idea what was happening they all felt themselves being thrown into the air. At the same time they were blinded by a bright light and loud explosions pierced their ears.
