REVIEW!
Brittany yanked her hand away, remembering how much the Bradleys really didn't like her and ran with her sister on her tail. Both were wounded by the battle, a couple of Whitney's cuts open, but they just had to make sure the others were okay. It was partially their fault too, considering they didn't join the Megazord Brawl.
"C'mon!" Blake shouted, and they ran after him, niticing Shane, Tori, and Dustin stumbling.
"We were riding when we saw the smoke." Hunter said.
"Are you okay?" Blake asked, helping Tori to her feet.
"Yeah, thanks." Tori told him.
"What happened?" Hunter demanded.
"I was listening in the car on the way here... they think it was some kind of alien attack." Kelly told them.
"What, does that sort of thing happen a lot around here?" Blake asked them.
"You never wondered why housing is so cheap?" Shane retorted.
"Oh, that makes sense." Brittany said dumbly, to make them think she was a complete air head.
"What happened to you?" Dustin asked Whitney; "You're bleeding!"
Whitney checked to see blood was leaking through her shirt; "Oh shit... it's alright, nothing major."
"We need to call someone, the police, the FBI, the CIA, and Whitney we need to call the Paramedics." Kelly said, slightly alarmed.
"No, Kelly we're fine, thanks." Tori reassured the red head. She turned to her teammates and they walked away, as Hunter and Blake shared an evil look.
"I'm fine too." Whitney said, though her voice said differently; "Its been worse."
"How much worse exactly?" Kelly asked.
"Don't worry about it." Brittany said. She pulled her sister's arm over her shoulder and lead her away; "I'll take care of her."
"I feel really bad Britt." Whitney said through clenched teeth. Brittany cleaned her wound and placed a bandaige over it; "We should've helped them."
"But how exactly?" Brittany shot; "We don't have zords."
"I know... but we still should've done something." Whitney sighed; "We were completely useless."
"We only have one option Whitt... we have to tell them who we are." Brittany said; "We've kept the secret for too long."
"I know, but just not yet alright?" Whitney shot back; "We should at least wait until the Thunders reveal themselves."
Brittany growled under her breath; "Thunder Rangers..."
"I know Britt, they make me sick too." Whitney grumbled; "My ribs feel like they're about to fall out."
"Lets take you to a hospital then." Brittany said; "They'd help you more than I could."
"It's fine, I just need some pain killers." Whitney chuckled.
"You sure?" Brittany asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Positive." Whitney said, rolling her own; "Britt, that fight didn't make much sense."
"Yeah, like the fact Zurgane left right before the creepers showed up." Brittany nodded.
"But did you hear what he said about Rangers?" Whitney wondered; "I have a feeling Zurgane doesn't like the Thunders very much."
"Whatever." Brittany huffed; "Listen, I'm gonna head over to the beach to soak up some Vitamin D, if you need anything just beep me."
"Be careful Britt." Whitney urged her sister.
"Always careful." Brittany laughed, walking out.
Tori walked through the sand holding her surfboard.
"Hey Tori!" Brittany called.
"Tori turned to see her running towards her; "Hey Britt, how's your sister doing?"
"Whitney's? She's alright actually, gotten better after I brang her home." Brittany shrugged; "How're you doing?"
"Better, I guess." Tori said absently.
"You wanna talk about it?" Brittany huffed; "I promise I won't tell a soul."
"I can't, but thanks for the offer." Tori smiled sweetly.
Neither noticed when Hunter and Blake walked by.
"Hey!" Blake said; "What? No Hello?"
Tori turned to them; "Sorry, my mind's somewhere else."
"Yeah, rough day." Blake smiled.
"Yeah. Thanks again for helping me out there." Tori blushed.
"Ah, hey, listen. Don't mention it. Anytime." Blake grinned.
"I'll keep that in mind." Tori said.
Hunter then noticed Brittany standing there and smiled; "Hey Britt, you wanna hit up the track later?"
Brittany rolled her eyes; "You don't have to pretend you like me. Whitt told me what you said."
"We didn't mean it." Hunter said.
"Just drop it." Brittany snapped; "I have to go." She hurried away.
"I have to go too..." Tori sighed, walking away; "I'll catch you later."
"Sure thing." he smiled.
"Wow smooth. You'll have to show me your moves sometime." Hunter teased his brother.
Blake punched him lightly; "You have room to talk. Brittany hates you."
"For now." Hunter grinned; "Hey, Ima go follow her, I'll meet you at Storm Chargers alright?"
"Take your time dude." Blake chuckled.
Brittany walked down the beach. Something about the Bradleys didn't seem right... as if they were hiding something, and she new her twin felt it too. She turned around to see that Hunter followed her; "Did you need something Bradley?"
"Yeah, I needed to apologize." Hunter said; "My brother and I really regret what we said, and we promise we didn't mean it."
"I'm not spoiled alright?" Brittany asked, to clear a point; "I do everything to keep my sister safe and happy, even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness."
"I know that now, I'm sorry." Hunter said sincerely, he held out his hand, revealing the Crimson Thunder Morpher, and Brittany stared at it, so he yanked his arm back.
"What was that?" Brittany demanded. She pulled at his arm to inspect the morpher and threw it back down; "You were on the news! You and the dark blue one! Wait... you and Blake?"
"Its not what you think." Hunter stuttered; "I have to kill this man, he killed my parents... I just have to!"
"You want to kill a man because he killed your parents?" Brittany asked, rather angrily; "You do understand that makes you an even worse monster."
"You don't understand." Hunter snapped, getting angry as well.
"I do understand." Brittany said, and she backed away; "I'm sorry, I don't like conversing with monsters."
"At least... promise you won't tell anyone." Hunter sighed.
"I tell who I want to tell." Brittany said, and she ran away from him.
"Ugh, what did I just do?" Hunter growled. He then remembered his brother and ran to meet him outside of Storm Chargers.
"How bad did it go?" Blake asked, noticing the look on his brother's face.
"She knows dude." Hunter said gravely; "About us."
"You mean..." Blake began, and Hunter nodded; "This sucks."
"And she's probably gonna tell." Hunter huffed; "We gotta do something about this."
"We'll worry about this later, lets go in, Kelly's waiting for us." Blake rolled his eyes.
Dustin was absentmindedly working on a dirt bike.
"Dude, you changed the oil like four times already." Shane pointed.
"Yeah, I don't know man. I just can't stop thinking of why those Thunder Punks just didn't destroy us when they had the chance you know?"
"Hey check it out yo." Shane pointed to where Hunter and Blake were talking to Kelly
"Just fill these out before the race and we're good to go." Kelly said; And make sure your parents sign the-"
"We don't live with our parents." Hunter cut in.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." Kelly said.
"Hey, don't sweat it. We'll get those forms back to you tomorrow okay?" Blake asked.
"Great, I'll see you out there then." Kelly shrugged.
"Cool." Hunter smiled.
"Hey, and if you see Brittany tell her a package came for her alright?" Kelly cocked an eyebrow.
"If we see her." Blake nodded and the two walked away.
"Hey, I wanna see if they wanna hit the track later." Dustin said.
"No, I don't know man," Shane said said in a hushed tone; "Something about those guys..."
"Come on, man!" Dustin said, putting his oily hand on Shane's shirt; "Sorry dude I'll... yeah I gotta go."
"Hey!" Dustin yelled, following Hunter and Blake to a truck; "Yo, wait up!" But buy the time he got there Hunter was gone; "Hey... where'd they go?"
Tori approached the water with her board in hand. Whitney watched on as the water disappeared; "What? The water... What happened?"
Suddenly a frog monster jumped behind Tori, making everyone else run off but her and Whitney.
"Oh a Ranger! How convenient!" it smiled; "Time to make a splash."
"Ninja Storm! Ranger for..." Tori yelled, looking down at her wrist just to see that her morpher wasn't there. Whitney saw this and stood by Tori; "Whitt, what're you doing?"
"Better hop to it!" the Frog cackled. He blasted at them, but the two girls avoided the blasts; "Guess it's not Morphin' time after all is it? Lowtide for you, Malibu Beach Buddy."
"Did he say morphin'?" Whitney asked; "As in Power Ranger Morphing?"
Tori tried finding an excuse but couldn't; "I'll explain later alright?"
"Alright, just so you know, I've taken at least three years of Martial Arts." Whitney ginned. Tori was about to ask her something, but the blonde charged forward, clean sweeping under the monster.
The monster jumped back up, and because of her many cuts she wasn't able to dodge as he hit her with the Polytrons (Still not sure if I'm spelling it right, but whatever...)and she hit the floor, unconscious.
Then randomly a dirt bike sped across the beach; "Hang on Tori!" He rode around the monster, letting dirt fly into him; "Eat some beach." He rode over to Tori; "Run, I'll distract him."
"Blake?" Tori asked confused, but the dirt biker rode away; "No! Stop! Don't!" Blake rode into the monster, but it jumped up before Blake reached; "Watch your back!"
Blake turned around, just so the monster could blast him to the ground. The monster cheered happily; "Got him!" Tori was furious, and side kicked him; "That hurt!" She tried fighting him, but the monster flipped her too the ground; "And now, my Polytrons will finish the job!"
"Tori!" Blake shouted, jumping and catching the polytrons on himself.
"No!" Tori shrieked, rushing to make sure both of her friends were okay.
"So much water so little time! I'll catch you later, bye bye!" it sang, disappearing.
"Blake, Blake." She panicked, shaking him, and then noticing the other blonde was still out cold; "Whitt?" She turned Blake around and gasped as she saw the Polytrons stuck to his suit.
Tori ran into ops; "Cam! I need your help outside?"
"Can't it wait?" Cam asked; "I've almost got the morphers back online."
"It's an emergency. My friends, they're hurt." Tori gushed.
"And you brought them here? You ever hear of a hospital?" Cam demanded.
"I know, I know, but they was hurt because of me. Please come look. It was on of Lothor's face freaks." Tori pleaded. They went outside and Tori watched as Cam ripped the Polytrons off of Blake and Whitney's chests; "What are those things?" she asked him.
"They're some kind of cybernetic leech. Looks like they dehydrate the body until it shuts down." Cam explained, he looked closely at Whitney, and noticed something sparkle but ignored it, thinking it was just a bracelet."
"Well, did we get them off in time?" she asked.
"Think so. These two must drink a lot of water."
"His name's Blake." she blurted; "And hers is Whitney."
"I dont care what their names are," Cam shot; "Dad's gonna flip when he finds out you brought them here."
"Well... then maybe they shouldn't find out?" Tori asked, using puppy dog eyes.
Cam rolled his eyes; "The morphers are on the console inside. Go get them. I'll stay here with your friends."
"Thanks Cam." Tori said, pecking his cheek and then running in through the waterfall.
"Men as a species are doomed." he said once she was gone, chuckling lightly.
They didn't know Blake was really watching everything Cam and Tori did, and Whitney woke up slightly as well, watching how Blake eyed the Waterfall.
"And when you got to the alley Blake and Hunter were gone?" Shane asked.
"Yeah man." Dustin nodded. He and was taking a quick look at his bike.
"Whats up with that?" Shane asked.
"You know what, maybe they're really master illusionists like the guy on T.V who makes the tanks disappear. And that would be cool huh?" Dustin said.
"Hey, have you guys seen Blake?" Hunter asked. He picked up on what they were saying, but pretended he never heard a thing.
"Gee, this would be the second time today he just disappeared?" Shane grimaced. Just then Brittany came running to them; "Hey Britt, whats wrong?"
"I've been looking for Whitt everywhere, but I can't find her." she replied, breathless; "Have any of you seen her by chance?"
"What's up with that?" Shane wondered; "First Blake 'disappears' and then Whitney does."
Brittany heard Tori pull up with her van and ditched the others.
"Listen, ah, thanks for what you did back there. I don't know what happened, guess I just blacked out." Blake smiled.
"Yeah, you took a nasty fall. You're actually pretty lucky." Tori commented, she turned to Whitney; "Hey, how're you holding up back there?"
"Ugh, Britt's gonna kill me for what I did." she groaned; "I promised her I wouldn't go off fighting without her nearby.
"I feel like a chump." Blake sighed; "I mean I tried to save you and you end up saving me instead."
"Me too." Whitney said; "And now Britt's gonna murder me."
Tori smiled slightly; "Forget it. It's no big deal. And no, if she tries I'll back you up."
Just then Hunter and peeked in the window to talk to Blake.
"Hey, what happened? You alright?" Hunter asked.
"Long story." Blake shrugged, getting out of the van; "Tell you later."
Whitney got out of the van as well, and Brittany tackled her; "Thank god you're okay!"
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Whitney giggled, the others watched slightly amused; "Whats wrong?"
"Kelly gave me a package." Brittany said, but Whitney stayed clueless; "From them..."
"No, are you kidding me?" Whitney demanded; "But how did they find us?"
"I don't know." Brittany said, and then she realized the others were watching them; "Oh Whitt, I gotta tell you something."
The twins stared at each other, conversing with their eyes, and walked away from the others.
"They're so weird." Dustin exclaimed.
Tori waited until Hunter and Blake walked out of earshot; "You guys... Whitt knows about our secret."
"How'd she find out?" Dustin asked.
"Its a long story..." Tori sighed.
They met up at the track later, watching Dustin in a practice race.
"I got your morphers guys." Tori said; "And I think we're gonna need them." But then they saw the Bradleys and the twins and she hid them away. Brittany and Whitney eyed Hunter and Blake, but continued walking as if they didn't exist.
"Hey." Hunter said to Tori; "I just wanted to say thanks for taking care of my bro."
"Me too Tori, my sister's all I have, and I want her safe no matter what... so thanks." Brittany smiled greatfully.
"Anytime." Tori nodded.
"Anyway... we owe you one, and we always make good on our promises." Hunter said.
"Okay, good to know, thanks." Tori smiled.
"We gotta get home." Blake said; "Parents, you know how it is."
"Yeah, okay." Tori replied; "I'll catch you later."
Whitney shared a look with her sister and then at the others; "We have to go too... we got some creepers to kill."
The others stared at them and Brittany laughed; "She's kidding... partially. We'll see you guys later." They walked away, but stopped when they could hear their conversation.
"Bye." they called.
"Dude, the Bradleys told Kelly they didn't live with their parents right?" Dustin asked Shane; "I mean thats what we heard.
"Yeah thats right." Shane nodded.
Just then his morpher beeped; "Go for Shane."
"I've located that frog again. Its at the Riverbank hurry!"
"Dude if Cam wants a frog let's just stop by the pet store, I mean they got like a tank, like, full of them." Dustin said.
"I'll explain on the way." Tori said.
"Should we follow them?" Brittany asked.
"I'll go help them, you go find those Thunders." Whitney said.
"But... you know we can't spend too much time apart once we morph." Brittany said; "Its dangerous."
"It won't be too long, I promise." Whitney said encouragingly; "Go, please?"
"Fine."
The Wind Rangers and Gold Cosmic Ranger morphed in order to fight the frog, but they didn't expect the Crimson and Navy to come out of nowhere and help them.
"Hey wait. What's up with you guys?" Shane asked.
"Why'd you just help us?" Tori inquired.
"Hello? Anybody in there?" Dustin added.
"We're even Wind Rangers." Crimson said.
"But we aren't." Gold hissed.
"We'll get to you later Gold." Navy snapped. And the two went away.
The Wind Rangers defeated the giant monster with their Megazord, with Whitney watching from the sidelines once again.
The Silver Ranger stood within the shadows by the entrance to Ninja Ops, but then she felt something grip her shoulder and she twisted the arm backwards, throwing her captor to the ground.
"Its the Silver one." Navy grumbled, massaging his arm where she twisted it.
"Who are you?" Crimson demanded, but no answer came from the Ninja. She put up her arms ready to fight. Together the Thunder Rangers pushed Brittany to the floor pretty easily; "Not so tough without your shiney friend now are you?"
She would have gotten back up to fight but Navy grabbed her arms and pushed her into the Headquarters, where they stole the Sensei and held Cam a captive as well.
"Whats going on?" Cam asked. Brittany felt herself losing Power, the reason why she and Whitney were never supposed to be separated when morphed.
"We're playing prisoner." she answered through clenched teeth.
"Yeah, but you're never gonna escape." Crimson growled in her ear.
"GOLD I NEED YOU!" Silver screamed, turning the communicator on.
"She can't hear you." Navy cackled, but he was wrong. The Gold Ranger streaked into the are with the Wind Rangers right behind her.
"Let her go." Gold hissed, pointing her blade at them. Brittany and Whitney felt power being restored to them.
"What are you doing here?" Shane demanded.
The Thunder Rangers powered down, revealing Hunter and Blake.
"What do you want?" Dustin asked; "How did you get in here?"
"Ask her." Hunter pointed at Tori.
"Blake?" She asked in disbelief.
"I'm sorry but we had to find the Ninja Ops. I didn't mean to use you." Blake answered blankly.
"If you hurt them I will hunt you down." Tori glared.
"Leave him." Hunter said, throwing Cam to them, but tightening his hold on the Silver Ranger; "We got what we came here for. Goodbye Rangers. And goodluck in your future battles." The three of them disappeared.
"Is everyone else okay?" Tori asked.
"What did they want from us?" Dustin inquired.
"They took my father." Cam shouted, after realizing Sensei's cage was open and empty.
"AND my partner!" Gold added, furiously; "I will murder those two."
