Title: Lightning Storm! Ranger Form!

Summary: We all know the story of the Wind and Thunder Rangers; but what about the Lightning Rangers? Two teens that played a vital role in the destruction of Lothor? Not to mention kept the others on their toes. It's time to meet the new: Defenders of Earth.

"Let me guess," Aliyah said as Dustin entered Ninja Ops behind her looking like someone had just run over his dog. "They smoked you again?"

"I feel like i'm losing time every lap!" Dustin whined.

"You're on a 125 going up against two 250's!" Aliyah pointed out. "You're supposed to lose time against them!"

"But I just put that carbon fiber air on!"

"Have you changed the jets?"

"No," Dustin said. "I'll do it as soon as I get my bike back tomorrow."

Aliyah frowned. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"There was this guy at the track," Dustin explained. "Said that he could help me improve my racing by installing some titanium four-stroke pipe-n-silencer! He said it would blow me away!"

"So you just gave him your bike?"

Dustin paused. "Yeah," he nodded. "Look, Ali, don't worry, alright? I trust him! He seems cool!"

"Dustin," Aliyah sighed, shaking her head. "When are you going to learn that not everyone deserves your trust?"

"What do you care, anyway?" Dustin asked. "You don't even like Motocross!"

Aliyah shook her head. "You're right, I don't," she agreed. "But I care about you and I know how much you love your bike!"

Dustin sighed. "I gotta go," he said. "I'm meeting Tori and Shane at Storm Charges. I'll catch you later!"

"See ya," Aliyah said watching as he run out.

~*Lightning Storm*~

"Are you sure that is the problem, Aliyah?" Sensei asked.

Aliyah hesitated and glanced up at the Guinea Pig. "Yes, Sensei," she nodded. "While I do believe that there is good and evil in everyone, Dustin only sees the good in people! But not every single person out there plays on the light side; if they did then we wouldn't be here!"

"I see your points," Sensei nodded. "But you must also understand that trust works both ways! Trust in Dustin, his instincts will lead him down the right path!"

"It is difficult at times, Sensei," Aliyah said. "Dustin is the adorable goofball that everyone loves; he is naive and gullible, I just don't want to see him get hurt!"

"In order for him to learn, Dustin must make his own mistakes!" Sensei told her.

Aliyah bit her lower lip. "I knew you were going to say that," she nodded, glancing over her shoulder as Hunter's voice echoed from the mainframe.

"What's up, Cam?"

"I'm picking up a signal at the Power plant," the Samurai responded.

"Blake and I'll check it out!" Hunter responded.

Pushing herself to her feet, Aliyah moved over towards Cam, perching herself on the edge of his computer chair and observing the screen. "What's up?" she asked.

"The ceiling?" Cam quipped, sarcastically.

"Haha," Aliyah mocked. "Smart-Ass!"

Cam smirked and turned back to the computer screen. "In all honesty I don't know what it is... not yet anyway!"

"Why couldn't we go check it out?"

"Hunter and Blake are closer,"

"Hunter and Blake are good at getting captured," Aliyah pointed out. "I don't trust them around Lothor's monsters!"

"There's that trust again!"

Aliyah let out a low growl. "Alright, so I have trust issues!" she fumed. "Big deal! Everyone has issues about something... mine just happen to be opening up to other's and trusting them not to leave me!"

Cam frowned, that was a little more information that he had expected. "Leave you?" he questioned. "Ali, no one is leaving you!"

"Someone always leaves!" she muttered, as she refused to meet his gaze. "Always!"

~*Lightning Storm*~

Rebecca sighed as her morpher beeped.

"I gotta go," she said, looking up at Master Finn.

The older gentleman nodded. "Rebecca, remember, trust your sister!" he said. "You do not have to hide her true nature from her!"

"Unfortunately, Master Finn, I do," Rebecca nodded. "You don't know Aliyah; she's a hot-head with a stubborn personality, a bad temper and a protective streak! If I tell her anything and everything then I know she will go running off blindly trying to protect everyone and thing she cares about! I can't lose my sister!"

Master Finn regarded her gently. "I understand your situation better than you think," he nodded. "But you must learn to let go and stand back," he continued. "Observation can tell you a lot about a person. You have not been with Aliyah for the last six years; you do not know how she will react to the truth. Just promise me," he said. "Promise me that you will think about what we have discussed here today!"

Her morphed beeped again.

"I promise, Master," Rebecca nodded. "I will think about it... but I make no promises in the transgression of things!"

Master Finn nodded, watching closely as she run off.

~*Lightning Storm*~

Beevil aimed her staff at the fallen Thunder Rangers, raising it higher into the air for a more prominent strike. However, before she could slash downwards, the staff was blasted out of her hands by an unforeseen force.

Glancing around, Beevil spotted the cause of the attack. On the walkway, dividing the two power plants, were two more rangers. This time White and Green.

"Time for you to buzz off!" the Ranger in Green said.

"I'll fly when I am good and ready!" Beevil sneered, blasting the two rangers off of the walkway, just as four more rangers arrived.

This time Red, Blue, Yellow and Black.

"Cam!"

"Ali!"

"Are you okay?"

"There's a new Queen Beevil in town!" Beevil yelled. "And she's going to take you down!"

"Don't bet on it!" Shane said.

"Bye honeys!" Beevil said, turning toe and running off.

"Beevil? That's who Marah was talking about!" Dustin said, earning a dark, cold and calculating look from Aliyah. "She was telling the truth!"

~*Lightning Storm*~

Aliyah groaned as she rolled over, swatting the air as an annoying beeping sound filled her bedroom; reaching the edge of her bed, the White ranger yelped as she hit the hard surface of her bedroom floor. "Alright, i'm up," she complained, sitting up and squinting into the darkness. "This better be important!" she growled into her morpher.

"Ali, you need to come to Ninja Ops, right away!"

"It's 6:00am," Aliyah complained. "What could you possibly want with me at six the morning?"

"I'm not at liberty to discuss that at the given time,"

"Dude, what's with the formal speech?" Aliyah yawned, standing and stretching her muscles. She scratched the back of her neck and rolled her shoulders. "Fine, I'll be there soon!"

"Bring Rebecca with you!"

Yawning, Aliyah nodded, consciously aware that he couldn't see her. "Yeah, yeah," she mumbled, eyeing her bed sadly before resuming her need to find her clothes. She had no desire to blind herself by turning on the light, so resulted in searching and dressing in utter darkness.

Once dressed, Aliyah stumbled out of her room, down the hallway, and into her sister's occupied bedroom.

"Dude, get up," she yelled, flipping on the switch and recieving a pillow to the face from her sister. "Ow - Dudette!"

"Knock the light off!"

"Can't," Aliyah responded, tossing the pillow back. "Cam called problems at Ops. We gotta go!"

"It's six in the morning!" Rebecca grumbled.

"Take it up with Cam," Aliyah said. "Hurry up! It sounded important!"

~*Lightning Storm*~

At least half hour later both Aliyah and Rebecca stumbled, bleary-eyed and yawning into Ninja Ops.

"Whose bright idea was it to literally knock me out of bed?" Aliyah asked.

"You fell out of bed?" Hunter teased. "How very co-coordinative of you!"

Aliyah glared at him. "It's too early to argue," she said. "But don't think I won't break any bones!"

Hunter held his hands up in defence and stood down, a notion that caused Aliyah to stop and stare at him, her mouth open slightly in surprise. "You never step down!" she muttered. "Someone pinch me, i'm dreaming - OUCH!" she cried, rubbing the sore spot from where Rebecca had just pinched her skin.

"Someone's cranky in the mornings," Blake said.

"It's still dark out," Aliyah whined. "That makes it nighttime!"

"It's 6:30AM."

"And it's dark out!"

Rebecca rolled her eyes at the bickering. "Cam, why did you wake us at this time of the morning?" she asked, directing her attention at the Samurai.

"I caught Dustin trying to power this -" he held up a freaky looking alien device.

"What is it?"

"Where did you get it?"

"He claims to have got it from Marah,"

"I did get it from Marah!" Dustin exclaimed, his voice ringing loudly throughout Ninja Ops.

Rebecca frowned. "Isn't Marah one of the space sisters that are always trying to vaporize us?"

"Yeah," Tori nodded.

"How can you be sure that she can be trusted?" Rebecca asked.

"Because I know that she wants to change," Dustin defended. "And I believe her!"

A sigh rippled around his friends as Blake hit him in the shoulder.

"Man, did you miss the whole Choobo thing?" he asked. "He told us the same thing and it ended up being a trap!"

"How do we know it's not a bomb?" Tori asked. "Or a tracking device?"

"Lothor's goons can't be trusted!" Hunter said.

Dustin turned quickly to him. "Marah is not a goon," he defended. "She's just a little confused!"

Aliyah snickered as she exchanged a look with Shane. "Dude, you are so into her!" she teased, earning chuckles from the rest of the team as Dustin's face turned the colour of Hunter's uniform.

"No, no, i'm not," he defended. "Alright, she's kinda cute, but I know that she really wants to help us!"

The mainframe beeped, showing Beevil terrorizing workers at the power plant.

"We shall see," Sensei said.

"Let's go!" Shane said.

The others nodded and headed for the exit.

"Wait, I have to charge this thing up!" Dustin said, stopping Hunter and Aliyah at the door.

"That's your choice," Hunter said.

"We gotta go!" Aliyah nodded, hurrying after her sister.

~*Lightning Storm*~

"There she is!" Cam said, spotting Beevil through the early morning mist.

"Well, well, well," Beevil chanted. "Seven little rangers all in a row!"

Drawing her weapon, Aliyah fell into a defensive position between Tori and Rebecca just as Beevil called on the Kelzacks, only this time they appeared wearing red suits instead of the usual basic black.

"Nice suits," Aliyah scoffed. "I bet we still kick your butts!"

The Kelzacks shrugged and darted forward, intercepting the rangers that raced to meet them.

Aliyah pushed off of a Kelzacks arm and jumped over him, slashing two more with her Lightning Staff as she landed in a circle of them. "What the -?" she yelled, as sparks flew but the Kelzacks remained standing.

"No way!" Rebecca yelled from a near-by throng and seconds later the Black ranger was thrown into the side of a concrete wall.

"Becca!" Aliyah shouted, leaping out of the Kelzack circle she was in; the foot soldiers, grabbed her ankle, pulled her back and tossed her into a few recycling bins.

"These guys must be super charged!" Hunter said hitting the ground beside Aliyah, seconds later they were followed by Cam, Shane, Rebecca, Tori and Blake.

Aliyah squeaked and curled into a ball as her friends collided with her from all angles. "Next time we get thrashed," she said, "I don't want to be in the centre of the circle - Oh, pretty stars!"

"Okay, who kicked her in the head?" Rebecca asked, as her sister shook her head and blinking to try and clear the stars that had appeared.

But before anyone could answer the Black ranger, the Kelzacks and Beevil prowled forward, forcing the rangers to back up a little; however, before the foot soldiers could attack, a strand of amber lightning hit the ground and a mini explosion took them out.

"What -?" Hunter muttered looking around for the source of the lightning. Normally he would have looked towards Aliyah and Rebecca - mostly Aliyah - but her lightning was White, not Amber.

There, walking towards them through the mist was Marah.

"Maybe Dustin was right," Rebecca shrugged. "Maybe she really has changed?"

"Yeah," Aliyah muttered, sarcastically. "And a Leopard can change its spots!"

Rebecca rolled her eyes and aimed a kick for her sister's shoulder, one that Aliyah avoided by ducking behind Hunter, causing the Black ranger to hit the Crimson ranger instead.

Aliyah snickered as Hunter hissed and Rebecca apologized.

"What's the deal, Marah?" Beevil shouted.

"I'm not here for quilting Queen Beevil," Marah said. "I'm gonna take you down!"

"Give it your best shot!" Beevil hissed.

Marah tipped her hat slightly and rushed at Beevil, while the two fought the rangers made it back to their feet and watched in a stunned silence, all of them, save for Aliyah, cheering Marah on as she held her own against the Queen Bee; soon the tables turned and Marah found herself lying flat on her back in a bed of flowers beneath a memorial statue.

Breaking away from her friends, Aliyah rolled across the top of the wall and run to meet Dustin who had just arrived, tossing the device at the brunette who used it to shock Beevil.

"Awesome!" Dustin grinned. "She stopped that alien freak from destroying us!"

"Aren't monsters supposed to go boom when they have been destroyed?" Aliyah questioned, pointing at Beevil's intact form.

Dustin frowned as the others arrived behind them.

"Why can't you see that people can change?" he asked.

"And why can't you see that she's using you?" Aliyah snapped. "This is what I mean when I say 'Not everyone deserves your trust!'"

Marah laughed and the rangers reverted their attention back to her. "Uncle was right," she nodded. "You are too smart for your own good!"

"What -?" Dustin murmured.

"You really are a dumb dumb ranger," Marah laughed, causing Dustin's heart to drop. "I wouldn't let Beevil destroy you for the world..." she snapped her fingers and reverted back to her usual alien-self. "I want to do that myself!"

Aliyah growled and jerked forward, causing Rebecca to hold her back.

"At last!" Beevil laughed, raising to her feet behind Marah and removed the device from her forehead. "The truth! Thanks for the energy boots girlfriend, our plan worked like a charm!"

"You can't thank the Yellow Ranger," Marah smirked.

"You lied to me!" Dustin said, betrayal reflecting in his brown eyes.

"Well, duh," Marah laughed.

"Dustin was the only one who trusted you," Tori said, placing her on Dustin's shoulder. "Saw any good in you, and this is how you pay him back? That's low! Even for you!"

"Hey, it's not my fault he's dumber than me!" Marah laughed again.

Aliyah's hands clenched into fists. "Normally this would be the part where I say 'I-told-you-so'," she said. "But considering you hurt my friend! I guess I'll just have to settle for burying you six feet under!"

But before she could act on her threat, Dustin put his hand on her shoulder stopped her. He wanted revenge on Marah and Beevil as much as she did, although their reason may have been slightly different.

"No one makes a fool of me," he said. "Ninja Storm, Ranger Form! Ha!"

A new set of Kelzack furies appeared and the rangers broke off to fight them, meanwhile, beside the memorial statue Dustin fought Beevil as Marah watched from the safety and comfort of her alcove.

"You!" Aliyah yelled, spotting the humanoid alien. "I'd expect this sort of behavior from your sister! But you? This is a new low! Nevertheless, at least I've got someone to take my anger out on!"

A flicker of fear clouded Marah's face as the White ranger advanced towards her; while she had fought in the past, she wasn't much of a fighter, at least not as much as Kapri was.

"Aw, don't be afraid," Aliyah taunted, as she shoved Marah against the wall. "You should be used to taking a beating! I highly doubt Lothor is any less forgiven than I am! How many times have you failed him again?" she paused, a smirk edging its way onto her lips. "Oh, wait, that's right... too many times to count!"

An explosion rocked the surrounding area as Dustin eliminated Beevil with his new Ninja Sword Gold mode, and the sun had started to rise higher into the sky.

"Nice one, Dustin!" Rebecca said patting the Yellow ranger's shoulder. "You did it!"

Dustin nodded and looked around for Marah; he spotted her, glaring at Aliyah who had her pinned, by the shoulders, against the wall. "Ali -" he shouted, alerting the others to the situation.

"Ali," Tori said, stepping closer towards her best friend. "It's over... let her go!"

"It's not over," Aliyah answered, her gaze never moving from Marah's. "Not for her!"

Marah glared and raised her hand to punch Aliyah, but the White ranger caught her wrist and twisted it down to her side and then slammed it against the wall. There was a crack and Marah hissed biting back a scream of pain as her arm instantly turned numb.

"See," Aliyah whispered as she leaned in closer. "I can be evil too!"

"Ali," Cam said, touching her shoulder, he felt her tense and then relax under his hand. "Let her go!"

Aliyah hesitated, before dropping her arms from Marah's shoulders and taking a step backwards.

Cradling her wrist close to her chest, Marah teleported out, leaving Aliyah alone with her silent team-mates.

~*Lightning Storm*~

"What did you mean when you said people always leave?" Cam asked, stopping Aliyah from entering Storm Charges behind the others.

Aliyah shook her head. "When?" she asked, playing stupid.

"Yesterday at Ninja Ops," Cam replied.

"Oh, it's nothing," Aliyah said, trying to step around him.

Cam caught her wrist and turned her back to face him. "It's not nothing, Ali," he said, lowering his voice. "Something's bothering you. Whenever someone mentions trust you clam up... so, what is it? You can tell me!"

Aliyah considered him for a moment, she wanted to tell him, she knew that he would understand and she also knew that she would feel better if she had someone to talk to; but there was that little voice in the back of her head that was screaming at her to keep quiet.

You'll just give him firepower, the voice was saying. You'll give him something to use against you! Then he'll leave... they all leave, remember? Your parents left you! Rebecca left you! Your grandparents are never around! Why tell him when you're only going to get hurt?

"Honest, Cam," Aliyah said, plastering a smile on her lips. "I'm fine. There's nothing wrong. I promise..."

"You'd tell me if there was?"

"Yes,"

Cam considered her for half a second, before reaching in to kiss her. He knew that while he couldn't force her to tell him what was going on inside her head, he just hoped that she knew that he wasn't going anywhere.

"I'm not going anywhere, Ali," he promised her.

You'll leave Aliyah thought, miserably. They always leave.
