A/N: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE HOLIDAY! So as a present here is chapter 7! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers.


Nowhere To Grow

Dustin was using Cam's night vision camera to shoot Shane skateboarding. While he was doing his job as camera man he made various sound effects. "Must you do that?" Alex asked from next to the boy.

"Yes, yes I must." He retorted. She rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Can we go now please? I've got homework to do and Sensei is going to freak if he finds out we're out this late!" Tori called from her seat in the car.

"Come on Tori five more minutes! Come on dude I nearly landed it." Shane assured.

Tori sighed and raised the flashlight to continue trying to get what little homework she could do. "Not to mention what Cam's going to say when he finds out you took his night vision camera."

Alex smiled. "What can I say? I've got a thing for shiny things! And I knew where he keeps it because Mike is now Cam's partner in code cracking."

Dustin was swiveling the camera from side to side to get a cool effect. "Yeah, yeah keep going! It looks sick dude!" A Kelzak rolled into the shot and soon a few more followed. Dustin put down the camera and looked annoyed.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Shane asked.

"What? I mean you don't want those Kelzaks in your skate video." He said pointing out said Kelzaks.

Shane saw them and picked his board off and started sprinting toward them. "Tori come on!" He shouted. Dustin was just standing there like an idiot. "Dustin!" Shane shouted. Dustin ran and fell into step behind Alex and Tori. He raised the camera and started filming again.

"This'll look great for your video!" Dustin said positively.

"Not the best time Dustin!" Alex whispered.

The Kelzaks were digging holes and planting seeds in them. "Perfect…" A monster said as she watched them work.

The four rangers ran up. "Hey! We heard there was a garden party!" Tori laughed.

"And we're party animals." Alex snickered.

"So we're kinda of bummed we weren't invited." Dustin popped his collar.

"You mind if we crash?" Shane asked smirking. The Kelzaks did a weird dance and ran off.

"Okay…that's not weird at all…" Alex rose an eyebrow.

"Ready?" Shane asked.

"Ready." The other three responded.

"NINJA STORM! RANGER FORM! HA!"

"HAIL STORM! RANGER FORM! HA!"

The rangers Ninja streaked in front of the Kelzaks and started fighting them off. "Don't they know it's a school night?" Tori asked.

"I don't think they care!" Dustin shouted kicking another one.

"Well, this is totally cutting into sleep time." Alex yawned while punching a few a way.

"Let's make this quick!" Shane shouted. A vine crept up and wrapped around his leg. "Huh? WHOA!" He shouted as he was pulled to a flower monster.

"Look what I've got!" It said in a feminine voice.

"Hey watch the suit bud!" Shane argued.

"It's Flora Bendacus." The flower monster corrected. Shane snickered.

"Nice name. Parent's didn't like you much huh?" He shook free and aimed a kick at her but she transported to a different spot. He aimed another kick but she disappeared again. He aimed a punch and she reappeared and fired lasers at him.

"Shane!" His fellow rangers shouted.

They ran and helped him up. "How you don't have allergies. Rrrrrrrr." She growled like one of those bad movies where the guy is trying to get the girl.

"Okay…you've got some issues." Alex nodded. Flora sent out pollen that exploded on contact.

"Whoa that flower is nothing to sneeze at." Shane commented shaking his head.

"Time to make like a tree and leaf!" Flora said disappearing.

"There she goes!" Shane shouted as they got to their feet and started to run after her. Their morphers all beeped.

"Rangers, my father would like a word with you." Cam said through the morpher.

"Busted." Shane cringed.

At Ninja Ops

Mike and Cam were over at his laptop working on a few codes when the four guilty rangers walked in. "Aw man, I can't believe we got stalked by celery." Dustin joked. Cam held his hand out. Alex handed him the camera.

"Here's a thought, maybe your not getting enough sleep." Cam accused.

"We've only done this once." Alex assured.

"Yeah, it was the only time." Tori added on.

"Don't lie Alex, I know you." Mike said nonchalantly.

"I must see those seeds. We will discuss why you were out so late on a school night, on multiple occasions another time." Sensei spoke.

"I wouldn't want to be in your skate shoes." Cam laughed at Shane.

"How'd you know we've been out so many times?" Shane asked.

"Man this is good." Danni muttered as she walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of brownies with vanilla ice cream on the side. All the rangers looked at her. The guilty look on Danni's face was as easy to read as night and day for Alex.

"It was YOU!" Alex accused. Danni looked like a dear in headlights before caving.

"Alright! It was me! But they forced it out of me!" Mike snickered.

"That's not how I recall it."

10 Minutes Earlier

Danni was sitting at the table with Mike on one side of her and Cam on the other. Sensei was standing on the table looking at the girl. "Danni, do you know where the other rangers are?" He asked. Danni looked down at the furry serious face of her stand-in Sensei and gulped. He was doing the nose thing. "Danni, if you tell us where they are, you will be rewarded greatly."

Danni rose an eyebrow. "With what?"

"An excellent question. Cam, Mike. If you would please." The two walked to the kitchen and came back out. Cam was holding a whole tray full of brownies and some plates and forks, while Mike had a tub of vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. Danni's eyes went wide. "Now Danni, do you know where the rangers are?"

Danni sang like a canary. "They are in the park shooting Shane's skate video. Alex took Cam's night vision camera, so Dustin could film. Tori brought most of her homework so she could do it while she waited for the boys to be done, and Alex just went to have fun. They told me not to tell anyone."

"Very good." Cam said putting a plate down and picking up a brownie to put on said plate. Mike put a scoop of ice cream on it and drizzled it in hot fudge. Danni dug in.

"My god this is delicious." She said with her mouth full.

"Now Danni, we've got a few more questions." Mike said playing the role of good cop, although in this situation Danni was already happy.

"How many times have they done this?" Cam asked already placing several brownies on her plate.

"They've done this 12 times in the park, three times at the ramps at the beach and once at the skate park." She said eying the delicious dessert. Mike put more ice cream and hot fudge on.

"Now one more thing…what else have they not been telling us?" Mike asked evilly.

"Shane's afraid of spiders, Dustin's real name is Waldo, Tori has a HUGE crush on Blake, and Alex has a crush on Dustin, plus she stole your diary to read it and now knows who you like."

Sensei nodded in approval. "You may eat til your hearts content. And I hope to do business with you in the future."

Present Time

The rangers were glaring at Danni. "You sold us out for brownies and ice cream?" Shane asked. Danni gulped.

"I…am under the protection of Sensei and thereby excluded from getting attacked by you." She smiled. Cam laughed.

"It's true."

"Getting back on topic. Since when has Lothor been into gardening?" Tori asked. Sensei tapped the seeds with his cane and it let out a putrid smell.

"Dude." Dustin said.

"Aw, dude that is some serious stank." Shane said as they all covered their nose. Alex snickered.

"It smells like Dustin after Ninja training." She said. Dustin smiled.

"Hey, ya it does to!"

"Sensei, what are those?" Alex asked.

"I'm not certain. I have an acquaintance, Dr. Bedlam, he's an expert on exotic plants. In the morning you must visit him at his botanical laboratory." He instructed.

"Why don't I go? This may require someone who actually has a clue about botany." Cam suggested.

Shane laughed. "Dude, just so you know. Not a great pick up line." Mike shrugged.

"I don't see what's so bad about him knowing about botany. I actually think it's cool." Mike smiled defending Cam.

Cam smiled gratefully at her while a pink twinge fell across his cheeks. "That's enough. All of you, get to your rooms and get some sleep. You must be alert for tomorrow." They turned and went toward the hallway leading to the rooms. "And Cam, be careful how you choose to get involved."

Cam sighed. "Dad, I can help."

"And you always do."

"No I mean really help. I'm tired of sitting around…doing nothing." Cam said pointing to his chair.

"I have my reasons. I want you hear." Sensei said ending the conversation. Cam sighed and walked to his room.

The Next Morning

Mike and Cam were walking into the botanist lab. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Mike asked Cam. Cam nodded.

"I want to help out, not sit at a computer. And how about you? Won't you get in trouble too?" Mike shrugged.

"Sensei DID tell us to come, so I'm just coming a little early and bringing along a friend, if we want to get technical about it." Cam smirked.

"I like the way you think Mike."

Mike smiled and shrugged. "It's a gift."

Inside

"Have you ever seen one of these before?" Cam asked showing Dr. Bedlam one of the seeds.

"Yes, it is called a Sudima plant. It's very rare. From the same family as the Venus Flytrap, only with a slightly aggressive nature." The creepy Doctor explained.

Mike looked worried. "How aggressive?"

"Well, fully grown, this plant will devour anything and everything in it's path." Dr. Bedlam explained. Cam and Mike shared a look.

"I think we may have a problem." Cam said.

"Oh don't worry, they're harmless. Oh, unless they're fertilized in a nutrient bath. Mineral water with a kick, so to speak."

"Where do you get this special water?" Mike asked.

"Well, there's a volcanic spring to the North of here, which produces a similar combination of minerals and phosphates."

Cam took off his glasses and smiled. "Your talking about Turner Springs."

"Yes. I've been experimenting with the water on some of my plants here. Of course the trek is too dangerous for me to make often, I've got giant corns to worry about."

Mike and Cam shared a look of confusion. "Oh?" Dr. Bedlam moved to the side showing giant corn. "Oh." The two said sheepishly.

"Thanks!" Cam called out and the two walked out. "So, looks like we're heading to Turner Springs." Cam said and held his elbow out to Mike. She slipped her arm into it and they walked out.

"We found out what seed it was, found out what it can do, and what makes it grow. A very productive day." Mike agreed as they headed off to Turner Springs.

With the Others

Tori pulled up in her van with the rest of the rangers. Tori, Dustin, Alex, and Shane all were sitting in the front while Danni was sprawled out in the back. They pulled up in time to see Cam and Mike. "Is that Cam and Mike?" Alex asked.

"Dude, when was the last time you've seen Cam leave Ninja Ops?" Dustin asked.

"Should we call Sensei and see what's going on?" Tori asked. Shane shook his head.

"No, no, no. Not yet. You three go and talk to the plant guy. Danni and I…" Shane trailed off seeing the girl he was just talking about asleep in the van. He looked to Alex confused.

"The sugar got her hyper and she was up all night." Alex explained. Shane nodded.

"Okay, then I'll follow those two and make sure they don't get into trouble." Shane ordered.

"Right." The other three conscious rangers spoke.

In the Botanist Lab

Dustin, Tori, and Alex walked in and looked around. They came to the back and saw two people in lab coats. "Excuse me, we're looking for Dr. Bedlam?" Alex said politely. The two turned around showing Marah and Kapri in horrible disguises. Marah had short brown hair and a weird magnifying glass attached to her head. Kapri had short boy hair and a mustache and glasses.

"Yeah…Dr. Bedlam is a little…tied up right now, but we'd be happy to help." Kapri started. "I'm Professor Treelove and this is my assistant-" Marah cut her off, sticking her hand out to shake the three rangers hands.

"Miss Roots. Flora Roots."

Dustin looked around. "You know my sister is vegetarian and she would FREAK if she saw this place." He said. Tori pointed to a yellow and orange flower.

"Hey, what's this?" She asked curiously. Alex narrowed her eyes and looked around with suspicion. But because Alex had never met Marah and Kapri before she didn't make the connection.

"This is a blossom used for perfume. You wanna smell?" Marah asked a little to excited. Dustin was bending forward to stop him but Alex put a hand on his chest stopping him. Tori saw the girls suspicion and looked at the two in front of her with more concentration.

"Hey! Wait a minute. I know you two! Your-" She was cut off as a green puff of smoke came out of the plant. The three rangers fell to the ground asleep. Since there wasn't much room in the aisle, Alex was up against Dustin's side with his arm around her.

"Nighty night. Sleep tight. Don't let the evil space Ninja's take over the world while your too tired to fight!" Marah said.

"Don't talk okay? Just don't." Kapri said looking at Marah as if she was an idiot. Flora Bendacus walked in looking at the rangers and two girls.

"And Lothor said you two were hopeless. Handle those sleeping beauties while I go tend to my children." Flora ordered walking away. The two girls used very thick and strong vines to tie the teens to the table.

With the Others

Cam and Mike were making the hike up to Turner Springs and talking excitedly about how they can find the flower's weakness. Shane followed, rolling behind trees, carefully watching the two.

When they finally reached Turner Springs Cam and Mike hopped onto a low tree branch and threw a bottle into the water. "How much do you think we'll need?" Mike asked as Cam pulled it in the second bottle.

"That should be enough." He answered. He corked the bottle and handed it to Mike so she could put it in his backpack. Kelzaks appeared on each side of the branch.

"Any ideas?" Mike asked ready to fight. Cam nodded.

"Yeah. Hop onto land!" Cam said as he put an arm around Mike's waist and leaped to ground for safety. Mike's face was as red as Shane's suit as the two fought off the Kelzaks. Cam had an awesome skill while fighting them. Shane decided it was time to make his presence known and hopped out of the bushes to aid the two. The three went back to back.

"What are you doing here?" Mike asked. Shane snorted.

"Good question. You first." He retorted as they all separated and fought off the Kelzaks. As quickly as they appeared they vanished. "Where did you learn to fight like that?" Shane asked Cam as the three came together again.

"I grew up in a Ninja Academy. Do the math." Cam retorted.

"Hey, I just didn't know you had it in ya." Shane said as he shoved Cam playfully. Mike shrugged.

"Looks can be deceiving Shane." Mike looked at Cam's backpack then remembered the water. "We've got to get the sample back to Ninja Ops." She reminded.

"Hey, what are you two going to tell Sensei?" Shane asked.

Cam waved it off. "Don't worry about my father, I'll handle him." Shane looked amused.

"No one handles Sensei. You should know that better then anybody." Cam ignored him as he and Mike started their trip back to Ninja Ops.

In Tori's Van

Danni had just woken up and yawned while stretching. "Man! What a good nap." She looked around and saw no one in the van and that they were in the botanist lab. "Oh, must be inside." She figured and hopped out heading inside.

She hummed to herself as she walked in and saw all of the plants. "Whoa…this place is awesome." She said as she turned while walking and wound up falling from tripping over something big on the floor. "Jeez! Who puts a…Alex? Tori? Dustin?" She asked seeing that she was laying on top of their legs.

She noticed the vine cuffs and cursed. "Crap. This isn't good. Wake up you guys!" She shouted. A vine wrapped around her leg and pulled her into the air. It held her ankle while a flower on the vine used the knock out gas on her. "Sleepy…" She muttered before passing out, hanging from the ceiling of the botanist lab.

Alex, Tori, and Dustin all stirred after that. "Huh? What happened?" Tori asked.

"I feel like someone was yelling at us…and fell on us." Alex said.

"Man, this is what happens when you play with your food!" Dustin complained as he pulled on the restraints without much luck.

"Hey…do you sense another presence here?" Alex asked. The two Wind Ninja's narrowed their eyes in concentration and then nodded.

"Yeah…above us." Dustin agreed. Simultaneously the three looked up and saw the hanging Danni.

Tori looked worried. "Oh my god is she okay?!" Alex would have face palmed if she could.

"She must've been knocked out like us." Alex shook her head. Then her face lit up. "Wait! She's a fire Ninja! She can burn the vines!"

Dustin cheered. "Awesome! But first we got to wake her up." Tori looked at the water faucet in the corner of the room and then the rays of light. She made the water go up and hit the light making a laser. She accidentally had it hit Dustin. "Ow, ow, ow! Hot! Hot! Cut it out!" He complained. Alex and Tori snickered.

"Sorry, little adjustment." Tori spoke and made it so it went up higher near Danni.

At Ninja Ops

"You two deliberately went against my wishes by going off on your own. I'm terribly disappointed in you both." Sensei spoke as Cam and Mike walked in. Mike bowed.

"I'm sorry Sensei." She said apologetically. Cam walked over to the seeds and placed the water down.

"How did you know?" Cam asked.

"I'm a Ninja Master. And your father. Not a good combination if your trying to pull a fast one." Sensei commented. "Son, I always knew this day would come. It's in your blood."

Mike was sitting at the table watching the argument keeping quiet. "I've got nothing against Shane, Tori, or Dustin. And I certainly don't have a grudge against Mike, Alex, or Danni. They've come a long way, but I know I can help. But not just in here, but out there!" As Cam was speaking the seeds covered by his back had sprouted and were using vines to drink the water next to it.

"As a Power Ranger perhaps?" Sensei asked, although knew the answer.

"Yes…as a Power Ranger." Cam admitted. "I don't see why you can't-"

"Cam. You can be the bravest ranger of them all." Sensei spoke with pride. Cam looked hurt and confused.

"Then why didn't you choose me?" He asked.

"I am forbidden, by a promise made many years ago."

"A promise? To who?"

"When your mother fell ill, I swore to protect you from harm. She knew all too well, that a Ninja's life is one of danger."

Cam forced a laugh and looked at his father. "You made that promise when I was a defenseless child."

"There is nothing more sacred then a promised made to a loved one." Sensei spoke.

"Mother would want this for me! She would want me to fulfill my potential!" Cam argued.

"Unfortunately, we will never know…I'm sorry." Cam's jaw set and he walked off to the back room. Mike frowned and followed him back there.

"Hey Cam?" She called out. Cam was leaning against a wall. He look toward her sadly. "You okay?"

"No…my father doesn't trust me. He wont even let me fulfill my potential. All because of a stupid promise." He said. Mike walked over and put a hand on his shoulder.

"He trust's you. It's just he doesn't want to see you getting hurt. He loves you. Just…give him time. Maybe he'll come around." Mike encouraged. Cam smiled.

"Your right. Thanks Mike." He thanked. Mike smiled.

"No problem."

At the Botanist Lab

"Aim Tori! Aim!" Dustin was shouting.

"It wont work if you shout Dustin!" Alex elbowed him.

"Ow!"

"Would you BOTH shut up." Tori asked concentrating. She still had yet to hit the brunette hanging from the ceiling and was so close. "Almost there…" Tori spoke. The laser hit Danni's arm and the girl jolted up.

"WHO THE HELL-" She cut herself off looking around and noticing she was upside down, with her friends tied to a table below her. "What happened?"

"Just burn that vine around your leg and then help us out of here!" Alex whispered. Danni shrugged and caused a fire to start at her leg, burning the vine. She fell to the ground like a cat, on her feet. "Nice landing. I give it a 10."

"Thank you." Danni bowed then chucked a fireball at the spot where the vine connected. The four got on their knees and started crawling along the floor.

"About time." Dustin whispered.

"We'll take that as a 'Thanks'." Tori retorted. Dustin rolled his eyes.

"You know what I meant." He responded. "Come on let's get out of here. We've got to tell Sensei about this freaky plant thing ASAP."

"No kidding. But does anyone else here something?" Alex asked. The four stopped and heard a muffled sound coming from a green house. They got to their feet and opened the door to see Dr. Bedlam hanging upside down from a vine.

"Oh, that must be Dr. Bedlam." Dustin said.

"You figured that out?" Tori asked.

"No actually, I just read the name tag." Dustin admitted.

"Shouldn't we get him…oh I don't know…down?" Danni asked brining attention to the matter at hand. Dustin looked around and found a pair of hedge trimmers. He brought it up to the base where the vine had him up in the air.

"No not there!" Alex shouted but it came too late. Dustin clipped it and the Dr. came crashing down onto the ground. "Way to go Dustin."

"Dude, I'm sorry!" Dustin apologized. Dr. Bedlam got up looking alarmed.

"A terrible creature is growing the Sudima plant in my basement!" He announced.

Dustin nodded and pointed out the back door. "Okay, go get help!" He said as the rangers headed toward the basement. "Oh, dude!" Dustin complained as they walked into the basement.

"It's that smell again!" Alex complained.

"It's some sort of nursery." Tori pointed out. They walked up to the plant and saw murky mud looking water.

"Aw man. What would grow in that water? It is gnarly." Dustin pointed out. Danni clamped her nose super tight.

"Is that even water?! Aw man it STINKS!" She complained.

"Greetings!" The Flower monster said appearing on the stairs leading down to the basement. The four rangers whirled around. "Those are my flower children. So you might want to back off before I put my petal to your metal! Can ya dig it?" The flower asked.

"Wow you are an idiot." Alex said seriously. Danni smirked.

"I'm so torching this place." She laughed. Tori saw a vine snaking it's way over to Dustin.

"Dustin!" Tori shouted.

"Whoa!" Dustin shouted hopping out of the way. "Ready?"

"Ready."

"NINJA STORM! RANGER FORM! HA!"

"HAIL STORM! RANGER FORM! HA!"

"FIRE STORM! RANGER FORM! HA!"

The vine wrapped around the Rangers. "Hey! Watch it!" Dustin shouted trying to hack at it with his sword.

"Get off of me!" Alex struggled trying to pry herself free.

"This isn't cutting it!" Tori shouted at her sword that wasn't doing anything against the vines.

"Dustin do something!" Alex shouted.

"Why me?!" Dustin shouted.

"You're the only guy here! Be the hero! Plus you're the Earth Ninja! DO! SOMETHING! EARTHY!" She shouted.

"Talk to the Human Torch over there! She's the only one whose still on the ground!" He retorted pointing to Danni who was hurling fireballs at any vines that got close.

"They're regenerating as fast as I torch em!" She shouted just as a vine wrapped around her waist. "Damn it!" She shouted.

"Grow babies, grow!" The Flower monster shouted. The flowers grew so it destroyed the roof of the botanist garden and the rangers were handing outside.

"This is ridiculous!" Alex shouted. Danni looked at her friend with a curious look. She had once again freed herself and was firing rapid fire, fireballs.

"Can't you just freeze the vines?" Danni asked. Alex blinked under her visor and froze the vine around her waist. She punched it and it shattered. "Wow…fail." Danni laughed.

"Oh shut up!" Alex said embarrassed. The two Elementals proceeded to freeze and shatter or scorch the vines. But those devil plants kept growing back. "What's with these things?!" Alex shouted. She attempted to freeze a vine but nothing came out. "Damn it! I'm out!" She breathed heavily and fell on her knees.

"Alex! You okay?!" Dustin shouted from his spot in the vines. Another vine came over and wrapped around Alex.

"Not anymore." Alex complained. Danni still kept up the fire slinging but it was slowly started to die down until it was only a small spark.

"Shit! I'm out of heat!" She yelled as a vine picked her up. "This is NOT a fun day." She pouted.

At Ninja Ops

"Quickly Cam!" Sensei said as they watched the video of what was happening in the botanist lab.

"Let me go! I can help them!" Cam argued.

"No. Send Shane. Mike, you must go as well." Sensei ordered.

"Yes Sensei. HAIL STORM! RANGER FORM! HA!" Mike morphed and ran off.

"Cam for Shane! Cam for Shane!"

At Storm Chargers

Shane was standing in Storm Chargers when his morpher beeped. "The others are in trouble!" Cam shouted. Shane nodded.

"On it." He said and ran into a changing room. You could see his hand peek out from the top of the curtain as he morphed. "NINJA STORM! RANGER FORM! HA!" Shane ran up to the fight and caught up with Mike on the way there. "What's going on?" He asked.

"Freakish flowers have got the others all caught up!" Mike spoke.

"They were taken down by flowers?" They turned the corner and Shane saw the massive plant. "Never mind. GUYS!"

Tori was running in the air and being bounced by the plants. "Oh, hey Shane, Mike!"

"What's up?" Alex asked.

"Really? Now?" Danni looked to Alex.

"Any day now!" Dustin shouted.

"On it! Hawk Blaster!" He called out firing at the vine holding Tori. It made a dent then it regenerated.

"What?!" Shane shouted. Mike stepped forward.

"Let me try. Crystal Crossbow!" She shouted. A bow and a quiver of arrows appeared, made entirely of ice. She pulled one back and fired it, hitting Alex's vine. It froze, shattered, then regenerated picking back up Alex.

"Aw come on!" Alex complained. A huge vine came out and hit Shane and Mike. They rolled on the ground groaning. Shane pulled out his morpher.

"Cam! We're in trouble here!"

At Ninja Ops

"Shane and Mike are down!" Cam shouted.

A vine from one of the seeds grabbed Sensei and pulled him away. Cam turned and saw a massive amount of vines overtaking Ninja Ops. He ran forward and tried fighting them off to get to Sensei. "These are some vicious vines!" He shouted and ran back to the computer to warn the others.

"Cam! What's going on?!" Mike asked worried.

"One of the vines got dad!" Cam explained.

"That's eat! Sensei's a guinea pig!" Danni shouted.

"So?" Dustin asked.

"We already knew that!" Alex added on.

"But guinea pigs eat veggies! And vines are technically veggies! Eat Sensei! Eat for our lives!" Danni shouted dramatically. Everyone burst out laughing at that no matter what they were doing.

"It says here that unless Shane and Mike stop the primary plant, we wont be able to destroy any of it's offspring!" A vine came and grabbed Cam's wrist. Cam shook it off and smacked it away. "Shane! Mike! I've been working on some updates to increase the strength of your Ninja Sword blades, and Snow Staff."

"I know Cam. I helped you with them." Mike snickered.

"Prepare to download!" Cam finished.

At the Battle

Shane pressed a button on his Ninja Sword and it turned slightly blue. Mike's staff went from white to electric blue. "One chopped celery coming up! Ninja Sword powered up!" Shane shouted.

"Snow Staff armed and ready!" Mike shouted. Mike jumped forward and slashed at the vines while Shane headed for the main flower.

He started cutting into pieces. "She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not." He spoke sarcastically as he slashed away. He jumped down and the flower exploded. The rangers crashed to the ground, with the exception of Danni who landed on her feet. They were buried in the vines before they disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Good job Shane! Is everyone okay over there?" Cam asked.

"We're all fine. Thanks to you." Mike said. The Flower Monster ran out of the lab fuming.

"You destroyed my plants! That bums me out!" She cried out.

"Give it your best shot bud." Shane said as they circled around the flower. They Ninja streaked off to a factory and started fighting the flower plant. The Winds jumped forward and slashed at the flower. She simply spun around and slashed them, causing them to fall to the ground. She wrapped a vine around Shane's waist.

"You really get wrapped up in your work don't you?" The flower asked sarcastically. She tossed Shane over into the other Winds knocking them down like pins before releasing the red ranger.

"Our turn!" Alex shouted. The elementals came slashing forward with their staffs. The flower monster caught Danni's and forced her to slash her own teammates.

"Sorry!" She shouted apologetically before she was kicked to the ground. The flower shot out pollen that exploded. The ranger suits fell to the ground filled with hay.

"Huh? Whoa that was freaky!" Flora said.

Danni came swinging on a chain screaming like Tarzan. She swung forward and slashed at Flora. Alex came in next doing the same. "That sugar still hasn't worn off." She shook her head. Mike jumped forward and kicked the flower into a wall while slashing at her.

"Let's put it together!" Shane shouted.

"Storm Striker!" The Elementals who were in front of the Flower monster turned, saw the Storm Striker, and flinched.

"DUCK AND COVER!" Danni shouted as they dove out of the way holding onto their heads.

"Fire!" The Flower monster exploded.

"A little warning next time would be nice!" Mike shouted.

"You got out of the way in time!" Shane pointed out.

"Because you shouted your attack to the heavens!" Danni retorted.

"Wow! That's some fertilizer!" The Flower monster shouted, now twenty stories tall.

"Wow, shocker." Alex rolled her eyes.

"Cam we need the Zords!" Shane shouted.

"Let's get in the battle!" Mike pumped her fist in the air.

"Danni! Call it!" Alex agreed.

"Alright! Snow Leopard! Polar Bear! Sabertooth Tiger! Awaken!" She shouted. The Wind Megazord appeared first. Followed closely by the Leopard and Polar bear. Then from behind them a scarlet Sabertooth tiger Zord ran forward roaring ferociously. The three Elementals jumped into their Zords. "Alright! Tundra Megazord formation!" The Tundra Megazord was completely scarlet and white. The Sabertooth Tiger Zords head was the top of the Zord and had the long teeth pointing down in a menacing look.

"This wont take long. Lightening Megazord!" Shane shouted.

"You don't scare me!" The Flower monster shouted.

"How about this? Ramp Attack!" A giant ramp appeared in the sky for the Megazord to roll down. It slashed the flower monster and she went flying.

"Let's whack this weed once and for all girls!" Danni shouted taking command. "Blizzard blaster!" The Polar bear Zord, which was now the arm raised it's head and fired a blizzard at the flower.

"I don't dig the big chill!" The monster said freezing.

"Then how about a warm front? Flame thrower!" Danni shouted as the Sabertooth Tiger Zord fired flame melting the flower.

"Our turn! Power Disks locked and dropped!" The Winds shouted.

"One to the Power of Three!" Shane shouted.

"Serpent Sword! Triple Strike!" They all shouted. They slashed the flower and it exploded. The rangers hopped out of their Zords and looked out. Danni was clinging onto to bottom of her Zord for dear life.

"I can see my house from here!" Dustin shouted.

"Yeah!" Tori agreed.

"I can see Danni acting like a frightened kitten from here." Shane snickered.

Alex and Mike looked down and saw their leader cowering. "Oh jeez. Way to give the Elementals a good name." Alex shook her head.

"We're not even that high up." Mike shrugged.

"Shut up!"

At Ninja Ops

"Come on Sensei." Shane pleaded.

"We never would have found those seeds if we were out so late." Tori pointed out.

"Yeah! Then we'd all be doomed." Alex flailed her arms dramatically. Dustin pointed to Alex and nodded.

"Exactly. DOOMED."

Sensei shook his head. "I have taken that into consideration. None the less, breaking rules can not go unnoticed. Everyone, 10 mile jog please." Sensei passed judgment.

"What?" Dustin and Alex asked.

"But it's cold out!" Tori complained.

"Are you for real?" Shane asked. The four huffed and turned around heading out the door.

"Ten miles in the freezing cold?" Tori pouted.

"Hey, my ELEMENT is the cold." Alex pointed out.

Cam and Mike watched, laughing at the other rangers. "I said everyone." Sensei repeated himself looking at the two rangers in front of him.

"Us? What did we do?" Mike asked.

"Besides sneaking out, fighting Kelzaks, disobeying my direct orders, and in your case Mike HELPING him do all those things?" Sensei challenged. The two looked sheepish.

"How old does someone have to be to do whatever they want?" Cam asked.

"No one has ever lived that long Cam. Now go. When you return we will discuss your future training." Cam whirled around smiling and Mike was beaming with happiness for the boy.

"Training? But what about your promise?" Cam asked.

"There are other ways besides that of the Ninja." Sensei spoke. Cam was beaming as he ran out with Mike talking excitedly.

On the Jog

"This…sucks!" Shane breathed as they ran through the woods in 30 degree weather.

"It's not…that bad." Alex shrugged.

"This is…your element…you and Mike…don't count." Dustin said.

"But…still doesn't mean…we're not tired." Mike said.

Tori nodded in agreement. "Yeah remember…they had to fight…that flower too."

"Just quit talking…and start running. The…faster we run…the quicker we finish." Cam advised.

"Hey, where's…Danni?" Alex asked looking around.

"Sensei said…she was making dinner." Tori said. Alex and Mike stopped cold and had huge grins on their face.

"What?" Dustin asked. Mike and Alex took off sprinting.

"Come on!" Mike shouted.

"Pick up the pace! Danni's making dinner!" Alex cheered.

"So?" Shane asked.

"She is the best cook ever!" The two ice ninja's shouted.

"One she actually…was paid to cook by…her father and uncle!" Mike said.

"And her dad owns…the best…pizzeria in Ocean Bluff! And he…paid her $200...to make tacos!" All of the other rangers looked at each other and sprinted the rest of the way.

At Ninja Ops

Danni had just finished setting the table. "Here you go Sensei! We have Tacos tonight! I don't know what tomorrow though." She said thoughtfully as she set the plate in front of the furry Sensei.

"Thank you Danni." He thanked. Danni served herself from the huge amount of food on the table and stepped back. "Why are you stepping back?" Sensei asked.

Danni walked so she was as far away from the table as possible. "You'll see." Within five seconds there was a rangers stampeded, all heading for the table. In a matter of ten seconds all the rangers were seated and eating. "Works every time."
