A/N: The next part of Return of Thunder is here. Sorry for the late update.


Return of Thunder

Part 2


"It doesnt happen to often, but here in Blue Bay Harbour, the weather has become the news" a news anchor man was saying on the TV. "A cold front is gripping the city -"

Hayley Horizon looked up from her station at the office and frowned at the TV; Snow? In California? That was absurd...wasnt it?

"No, kidding" said someone from behind the older red head and she glanced over her shoulder to see that it was her boss David Richards. He was holding a steaming cup of coffee in his hand and was watching the TV, before he turned to her "What do you think Hayley?" he asked

Hayley shrugged "I don't know David," she answered, turning back to the TV "It all seems strange to me...im mean, come on...Snow? In California."

"I know," said a female voice as Joanne approached the desk, carrying numerous folders in her arms "Its really strange...but its true, the snow has covered half the street outside -"

She was cut off from continuing as someone called Hayley from across the room "Hayley!" it was Henry, he was standing near the door and waving her over "There's someone here to see you"

"Coming Henry," Hayley said, as she saved her work on her computer; switched it off and got up from her chair and left the room as she spotted Sabrina waiting outside; Hayley frowned, however, when she spotted her daughters clothing. If what the weather channel was saying was true, and there was snow everywhere, why was her daughter still wearing her shorts and flip-flops from this morning? "Sabrina?"

"Mom," Sabrina said, looking up at her mother and Hayley gasped when she saw the golden glow of her daughter's eyes "you have to help..."

Grabbing her daughter's arm Hayley pulled her from the room and into another room; closing the door behind her "Sabrina...what happened to you?" she asked, before glancing down at the device on her daughter's wrist "Where did you get that?" she knew that Tommy was giving Sabrina the Phoenix morpher; she was supposed to receive after the Phoenix had made itself known inside Sabrina; and that had happened. So it was only fair that Sabrina got the morpher.

But the one she and Tommy had created; was not the one on her daughter's wrist. The one her daughter had on her now; was Black and gold. The one she had created was Red and Gold. And the golden glint in her daughter's eye was very un-nerving. What had happened to her daughter?

"Mom!" Sabrina said loudly; pulling away from her mother and grabbing her head in pain "No! I won't!" she whimpered "I won't! I won't! I won't!"

"Sabrina..." Hayley said fearfully, reaching out for her daughter but Sabrina pulled away from her once more "Baby...what's wrong..."

"I won't!" Sabrina argued with herself, as Hayley watched on in terror

"You won't what?" Hayley asked

Sabrina groaned and shook her head "I won't attack her!" Sabrina said

Hayley's eyes widened as she realized what was happening, something or someone was telling her daughter to attack her. "The Phoenix!" Hayley gasped "Sabrina! You have to fight it!" she said "You can do this Sabrina! You can fight it! Remember...you stronger than the Phoenix, that's why you are the protector. Just concentrate sweetheart; Im right here...you don't want to hurt me."

Sabrina growled as she shook her head and whimpered; it felt like her head was going to explode. There was apart of her deep inside that didnt want to attack anyone; but there was another part of her that was telling her to do it.

It's the right thing to do a voice said inside her own head you are evil, Sabrina...it's in your blood. Don't fight it.

"I want to fight it!" Sabrina mumbled "Im not evil! It's not the right thing to do!"

But it's in your blood the voice said again

Sabrina shook her head "But its not who I am!" she argued

It will be the voice continued Do it! Attack her, and let's go...let's show Lothor and the World who is the true ultimate power

Sabrina whimpered as the power continued to grow inside her; taking control. Fire flamed from within her and so did her hand. Hayley gasped; as she saw the brightly coloured flame in her daughter's hand "Sabrina..." she whispered fearfully. Was she too late?

With her eyes burning gold; Sabrina looked up at her mother, she grinned maliciously raising her fireball and aimed it at the older red head.

Do it! The voice ordered DO IT!

"No!" Sabrina said loudly as she clenched her hand into a fist and distinguished the flame "I won't do it!" the golden glow in her eyes flattered and disappeared completely; as Sabrina blue eyes settled on her mother "Im sorry" she whispered.

Hayley shook her head and reached for her daughter; before pulling her into a strong hug "Its okay baby...its okay..." she said as she held her shaking daughter "Its okay."

"Mom, I've done something bad" Sabrina said, she looked down at her morpher as it changed from Black and back to Red "I've sent the rangers to remote island, that is sinking back into the ocean. That's what's causing all this snow and cold weather. I didnt mean too! But Lothor told me too...I don't know why I listened to him, but the Phoenix was too strong for me to control. But I knew what I was doing...im sorry, mom..."

Hayley shook her head "Sabrina...I know, it wasnt your fault. But you have to fix it. You have to help your friends. Understand?"

"I don't know how"

"Yes you do..." Hayley said "Just close your eyes; concentrate..."

Sabrina did as her mother told her too and she closed her eyes; taking a deep breath she pictured her friends in her mind; before gasping "I see them..." she said; she could just make out her friends together. Suddenly her eyes snapped open.

"What is it?" Hayley asked "What did you see?"

"Hunter and Blake are still under Lothor's spell" Sabrina explained "I have to help them! I have to help them snap out of it!"

Hayley's grip tightened on her daughter protectively; but she knew she had to go help "Be careful Sabrina,"

"I will," Sabrina said, and she hugged her mother back, before stepping back. She smiled at her mother and nodded once, before her body disappeared in a large flame of fire and when it cleared Sabrina had disappeared.

"Good luck," Hayley whispered as she stared at the place her daughter had been standing in a few seconds ago.

"We having fun, yet?" Shane asked Hunter; as they stood opposite one another on the shore of the island that they had appeared on

"No," the blonde Thunder ranger replied "but there is always this"

"Thunder Storm! Ranger Form!" Blake and Hunter yelled as they morphed "Power of Thunder!"

"Like we didnt see that coming," Dustin said, falling into a defensive pose beside Shane and Tori

"Ready?" Shane asked

"Ready" the other two answered

"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form!" the Wind rangers yelled as they morphed "Power of Earth, Air, Water!"

"Oh, yeah" Blake said reaching for his Thunder staff "Now it's on. We're through taking it easy on you"

"Your right Shane," Tori said "their not going to listen to reason"

"Its us or them," Dustin inputted "And I choose us"

"Thank you," Shane said, finally happy that his team-mates were agreeing with him.

"Ninja Swords!" the three Wind rangers called out as they removed their swords from their backs

Hunter and Blake followed suit "Thunder Staffs!"

And they all jumped forward and broke off into their usual fighting groups once more

Shane charged at Hunter and started to slash at him with his Lightening sabre; Hunter backed off before bringing his staff down through air as he attempted to slash at the red ranger. Shane ducked and dodged the attack and slashed at Hunter with his Ninja sword; before flipping backwards and landing on a cliff over-head "Hawk Blaster!" he shouted and fired several blasts of energy at Hunter who simply dodged.

"My blaster is bigger than yours!" the Crimson ranger shouted and he fired at Shane, who fell off the cliff and onto the ground.

Meanwhile; Dustin and Tori were all slashing at Blake, but the Navy ranger pushed them off. "Ninja Beams!" they yelled as they stood across from him and threw out beams from their morphers.

"Thunder Shield!" Blake yelled and the beams bounced off and backwards at the Earth and Water Ninja's; exploding on impact with the Yellow and Blue rangers.

xXx

Back on the main lands, Cam and his father were sat in Ninja Ops. The Water fall had frozen over and the snow continued to fall. "This is crazy!" Cam exclaimed "It's never been this cold here. We've broken every record since the weather service has existed" and he pulled a blanket around his arms as he sat at his computer chair.

Sensei was still dressed in his normal clothes but was beginning to feel the temperature fall "Why couldnt I have been a long haired Peruvian guinea pig?" he questioned

"I've turned up the heat," Cam answered "but im worked about not having enough power to drive the search system"

"We have no choice Cam" Sensei said "We must find the rangers"

"I'll keep trying dad"

"Find the rangers?" asked a voice, and Cam spun around to see Sabrina standing behind him. He jumped in his seat and stared at her.

"How did you get in here?" he asked

"The portal," Sabrina said pointing over her shoulder to the door behind her "the one hidden by the waterfall"

"I know where the portal is!" Cam snapped; as Sabrina stared at him confusion "Sorry, he apologized. But I've lost the rangers and I can't find them on the map anywhere"

Sabrina sighed "What if I told you I know exactly where they were?" she asked

"How would you know that?" Cam asked, as he watched Sabrina light a small fireball and hold it near Sensei to warm him up.

"Thank you Sabrina," the guinea pig said as he felt the warmth of the flame over-come him

The red head smiled and turned back to Cam "Because I was the one who sent them away" she told him "And im the one who can bring them back"

xXx

The Wind rangers re-grouped in front of Hunter and Blake "Look, we know you have some emotional issues that you're going through right now" Shane said "But have you ever considered group therapy?"

"Um..." Hunter said looking down,

"This is getting old!" Tori muttered

Dustin nodded "Yeah. I mean I love dirt as much as the next guy, but -"

"Too bad it doesnt show in your riding, Dustin" Blake retaliated

"You did not just bag on my riding!" Dustin shouted as he charged forward. But before they could reach one another a flame appeared between them; as it disappeared, Sabrina stood there. Dustin stumbled and stepped backwards towards Shane and Tori as Blake fell backwards towards Hunter.

"Sabrina?" Tori asked in confusion as the young girl stood before her "What? How? -"

"How did you get here?" Shane asked. Tori nodded in agreement.

"Later," Sabrina said over her shoulder to her friends as she turned back to Hunter and Blake "Guys! Snap out of it!" she said "Lothor's controlling you...you have to listen to me! This isn't you! You can fight it!"

"Sabrina?" Hunter and Blake murmured as they looked down "What..."

"Fight it!" Sabrina continued "Just remember who you are! Your Hunter and Blake Bradley! Your brothers...and your good rangers. You're not evil! Come on guys, don't let Lothor control you like this!"

"You're confusing us!" Hunter snarled and raised his Thunder staff as he moved forwards towards Sabrina; Dustin moved forward but Sabrina raised her hands in front of her as flames erupted and shot out, the flames hit the two Thunder rangers and exploded causing the two boys to go flying backwards.

"Whoa," Shane said, as he, Tori and Dustin moved towards Sabrina and looked down at the Thunder rangers who were groaning and getting back to their feet.

"Ow," Blake complained "My head" he lowered his hand from his head as his visor snapped open, along with Hunters. The Wind rangers visors snapped open too and they stepped forward cautiously. Dustin's arm wrapping around Sabrina's shoulder protectively.

"Where are we?" Hunter asked, looking around, and then down at Blake "Are you alright?"

Blake nodded. They then noticed the others.

"What are you guys doing here?" Hunter questioned curiously "Sabrina? What happened?"

"You guys okay?" Shane asked

"Yeah," Blake nodded "But how did we get here?"

Sabrina bit her lip and looked down, avoiding eye-contact with everyone; but Dustin noticed her.

"What is it?" the yellow ranger asked, the girl beside him.

Sabrina shook her head. She couldnt tell him that it had been her that had sent him here...that it had been her, who had been ordered to destroy him and the others including the Thunder rangers. He would hate her. They all would hate her.

"Sabrina?" Tori asked softly, moving in front of the 16-year-old; in the past couple of weeks Sabrina had become somewhat of a little sister too her, and she could see that something was eating at the younger red head. "What is it?"

"I can't say," Sabrina said softly

Shane frowned and touched her shoulder "We're your friends...you can tell us anything"

"Not this," Sabrina answered "You'll hate me. I can guarantee it"

"Why would we hate you?" Tori asked

Hunter and Blake exchanged looks as the Wind rangers tried to coax Sabrina to tell them what she knew. They knew what she was hiding, and they could see why she didnt want her friends to know. "Friends don't keep secrets from each other, Sabrina" Hunter said

"You would know wouldnt you!" Sabrina snapped at him, causing the Thunder ranger to step backwards slightly

Tori sighed and placed her hands on Sabrina's shoulders "Sabrina listen to me...we would never hate you! Whatever it is, you need to tell us, then tell us..."

Sabrina sighed "Okay..." she said "But first you have to promise me..."

"Anything," Tori said, looking up at Shane and Dustin who nodded in agreement

"Promise me, you won't hate me!" Sabrina asked "and you wont hold my actions against me...you have to understand that it wasnt me; I would never want to hurt you guys!"

Tori, Shane and Dustin exchanged looks before nodding "We promise" they said together

Sabrina sighed and swallowed hard "I sent you here..." she said

The others were silent. Before Dustin recovered first "What?" he asked in confusion "You, how could you have sent us here? You werent near the attack..."

"I was closer than you think," Sabrina answered him, reaching for the sleeve of her jacket and pulling it back and revealing the morpher on her wrist "That new ranger that was fighting you...Shane" she turned to the Red ranger "It was me...I destroyed that monster you were fighting...You guys more focused on destroying each other in the Megazord fight, than were destroying the snail and protecting the city," she paused "but I needed the snail destroyed so I could transport you here...all of you" and she looked around at Hunter and Blake at this point.

"Lothor..." Blake started, but Sabrina cut him off

"No," the red head said, shaking her head "Lothor didnt say anything about this. Neither did Chubo..."

"Then who?" Hunter asked

"The Firebird..." Sabrina answered "When Lothor erased my memories and mind, the Firebird took advantage and filled my mind with fake memories. Made me believe who I was wasnt real, and that I was this person who was trying to take over. I had destroyed Lothor and I was ruler...the Ultimate Power. But one thing that stuck was the picture of my mom, and it snapped me out of whatever capture that Firebird had on me...I went to my mom, and she helped me break the hold the Firebird had on me."

The others exchanged looks and sighed "I never meant to hurt any of you! I would never want that...please; tell me you can forgive me..."

Tori looked up at the others before turning back to Sabrina "We forgive you Sabrina..." she said softly "Just tell us, you know of a way home..."

Sabrina nodded "Before I came here, I went to Cam" Sabrina answered "Me micro chipped my Morpher," she explained "so that he could track me...if he has the signal out here, then he should be able to contact me, and be able to send the Zords to take us home."

"So what do we do in the mean time?" Blake asked

But before anyone could answer there was a yell from over-head.

"Hey!" it was Chubo. Everyone turned their attention to him "You down there! In the bug suits!"

"He'd better not be talking to us," Hunter growled

"Yeah, Im talking to you!" Chubo shouted "I've worked to hard for you to mess things up now!"

There was an explosion behind the rangers, and the snail that Sabrina had destroyed back on the mainland's reappeared; only this time, he looked really pissed off and super charged. "You can't keep a good snail down!" he said

"What?!" Shane demanded "I thought you said, you destroyed him?!"

Sabrina shook her head "No! I told you, what I did was destroyed him, long enough to send you here! It wasnt permanent...after you had gone, he regenerated beside me, and I ordered him to come here and destroy you, all of you"

"Wow," Blake said "Remind me not to get on your bad side"

"Rangers are already on my bad side," Sabrina answered him "The Firebird is my bad side...."

Suddenly the snail blasted the rangers once more

"Look out!" Shane yelled.

The six rangers threw themselves aside to avoid the blast; the Thunders went one way; Tori and Shane went to the left and Dustin and Sabrina flipped backwards; just as the ground in front of them exploded.

"What do you want?!" Dustin asked

"Want?" the Snail asked "I want to sink this island with you on it! I want to cause an atmospheric reaction that would drop the temperature to 100 degrees below zero! I want payback!" he fired beams once more. At that moment a group of Kelzaks appeared running towards them, the Shane and Tori jumped forward and landed in front of the Kelzaks as they slashed downwards with their Swords, Tori spun around and slashed upwards with her Ninja sword.

A small group of Kelzaks swarmed towards Dustin and Sabrina; as the Yellow ranger pushed the girl towards Hunter and Blake as he charged forward to protect her. As the Yellow ranger disappeared into the group of Kelzaks, Chubo landed beside Hunter and Blake as Hunter pulled Sabrina behind him protectively. "Not so fast!" the Green alien said, as he landed in front of the Crimson ranger "Listen to me Thunder rangers...the Wind rangers are trying to trick you; they don't want your help. Their trying to lead you into a false sense of security, so they can destroy you! They have already tricked the Firebird...she trusts them, she is working with them"

"No!" Sabrina said, looking up at the brothers "don't listen to him!"

Suddenly a pink stream of light shot down from the sky; Hunter noticed it and turned as he pushed Blake and Sabrina aside as the light hit him.

"Hunter!" Blake yelled out to his brother.

The pink light enveloped the Crimson ranger before disappearing. He stumbled slightly but regained his footing as his brother and Sabrina appeared beside him "Are you okay?" Sabrina asked

"Here's the real deal," Chubo said, stepping forward "You can't trust the other rangers anymore. Especially the two beside you. They sold you out so they could stay with the Wind rangers."

"What are babbling about?!" Blake shouted

Sabrina glared at Chubo and turned to Hunter "Hunter, don't listen to him" she said "he's not telling you the truth! He is trying to trick you! You have to believe me...we would never hurt you!" suddenly she was thrown to the side as Hunter slashed at her with his Thunder staff; she groaned as she hit the ground and rolled over onto her back and glared up at Hunter as Blake landed beside her, and scrambled up to help her to her feet.

"Have you lost your Ninja mind?!" the Navy ranger demanded of his brother

"You traitor!" Hunter growled as he started forward and slashed at Blake; there was a bright flame and the Navy Thunder ranger and Sabrina disappeared. Hunter yelled out in frustration, before stumbling as he was kicked in the back, spinning around he glared through his visor at the Sabrina who was now in ranger form and standing behind him.

"Fire Staff!" Sabrina yelled; as a staff appeared in her hand, she twirled it around and slashed it downwards. Hunter dodged the attack, and Blake appeared beside Sabrina, he pushed her aside as Hunter attacked and grabbed the staff and spoke.

"Don't you remember anything that has happened?" Blake asked "Come on Hunter! Think!"

"I remember you sold me out to those Wind weasels!" Hunter snarled, pulling his staff out of Blake's grip and attacking him with it, sending the Navy ranger flying backwards.

"Hunter, stop!" Sabrina yelled, as she flipped backwards to avoid his blows "Blake would never betray you!"

"Liar!" Hunter yelled as he kicked her in the gut and knocked her off her feet. He then turned and charged at Blake swinging his staff at his brother. Sparks flew as he slashed across Blake's chest making him stumble backwards.

As Shane dodged a blow from a Kelzak, he looked up and noticed Hunter attacking Blake and Sabrina "Whoa! Now their fighting each other!"

"That's crazy!" Tori said, as she delivered a blow to a Kelzak sending it away from her

"Dude, why do you have to be so crabby" Dustin asked the super Toxipod, as he tried his best to dodge the alien's attacks. Finally the alien managed to catch Dustin off guard and he sent a powerful blow to his stomach making him stumble backwards and hit the ground with a thud.

"Dustin you okay?" Tori asked, as she and Shane helped their friend back to his feet

Dustin nodded "Yeah," he answered

Suddenly strange steam started to shoot out from the ground "Whoa!" the Wind rangers said in surprise

"What's that?" Shane asked

"Toxic Steam," Toxipod answered "The Island is sinking fast. Soon the Earth will be one giant snow cone and you can't do anything about it"

"Wanna bet?" Shane asked

Dustin and Tori nodded in agreement

Three Kelzaks jumped into the air, and when they came back down they slashed at the Wind Rangers with their weapons. But once they did, the only thing that was left was their costumes. As the Kelzaks looked around the area for them, Shane delivered a powerful kick to one of them and sent it flying backwards into the steam. As the steam hit the Kelzaks it started going crazy, and attacked the other Kelzaks around itself.

"What's it doing?" Dustin asked in confusion

"I get it" Tori said "He's fighting because of the steam"

"Weird," Dustin said

"Hey, what's taking so long," Chubo asked as he watched the fight "Finish off those rangers so we can take control of the planet."

"Yes, General" Super Toxipod said as he turned around to face the Wind rangers. He drew his weapon and charged at the three rangers

Hunter was about to swing his staff at his brother, but Sabrina intervened; she put herself between Blake and Hunter and caught the staff in her hand; fire ignited her hands and travelled down the Thunder staff, Hunter yelled out in pain and swung with his might as he sent Sabrina rolling across the ground. He stood over her with his staff in the air, ready to strike.

"No!" Blake yelled

"Hunter," Sabrina said softly "Please..." she may not have trusted the Crimson ranger, but he was being controlled. He needed to snap out of it. Now!

"Wait!" Shane shouted

"Stop!" Dustin yelled, when he saw it was Sabrina that Hunter was about to attack

"Don't do it!" Tori pleaded,

"You brought this on yourself," Hunter told Sabrina

Blake jumped to his feet and rushed forward "No!" he said, grabbing a hold of his brother and holding him back away from Sabrina as the Wind rangers rushed to her side and pulled her to her feet. Dustin pulling her into him protectively.

"Hunter your not thinking straight" Blake said "You have to remember"

"More lies," Chubo said "Don't listen to him"

"But. I..." Hunter said as he started to remember

"Hunter," Sabrina said, from Dustin's arms "Look into your heart! You know the truth...we would never betray you!"

Blake released his grip on his older brother as he lowered his weapon "Hunter?" he asked

Suddenly the steam shot out of the ground "Blake!" Tori yelled, as Sabrina threw out her hand at the Navy ranger; there was a flame and Blake reappeared beside them; sadly she didnt have a chance to save Hunter and the steam got in right in the face.

"HUNTER!" Blake yelled "Get out of there!"

"What's happening to me," Hunter shouted, as he screamed in pain

"The steam got him," Shane said

Tori groaned "Right in the face" she said

"This is going from bad to worse," Dustin commented

Finally the steam disappeared and Hunter fell to the ground; shaking with rage.

"This is the end Blake!" Hunter shouted anger in his voice. He got back to his feet and charged at his brother who was standing in front of his friends

"No!" Tori and Dustin yelled as they charged forward into battle. Shane and Sabrina went to help but the Toxipod jumped in front of them, blocking their path. Hunter swung his staff at Blake, but Tori and Dustin grabbed him and pushed him away.

"Don't hurt him" Blake pleaded

"We're not trying to hurt him," Tori said, as she struggled to maintain a grip of the Crimson ranger

Dustin groaned from beside her as he was swung around "We're trying to hold him"

But Hunter was too strong; he eventually got out of their grip, and swung his staff at them sending them to the ground as sparks flew from the impact the staff made on them. "No stop!" Blake yelled "You're stronger than this!"

"Get off me!" Hunter shouted as he tried to throw off his brother, he managed too and slashed at Blake with his staff repeatedly causing sparks to fly from all around.

"Hunter stop it!" Blake pleaded as his brother stood over him with his staff in his hand "This isn't you!"

Hunter continued to ignore his brother and charged at him once more. He swung his staff at Blake and when it collided with them, the Navy ranger fell to the ground like rag doll. He backed off before moving in once more for another attack, but Blake blocked with his own Thunder staff. "Hunter, please" he pleaded "you have to stop!"

"Get off him!" Shane ordered as he and Sabrina ran towards Hunter; Shane kicked Hunter in the side causing him to flying off of Blake. Sabrina then jumped over Shane, using his shoulders to propel herself into the air, as she came back down she slashed downwards with her fire staff, causing Sparks to fly and Hunter to roll away from her and the others. Once she had landed, Sabrina fell into a defensive position in front of the fallen Blake, and the three Wind rangers, as Tori and Dustin stood either side of Shane.

"This has gone far enough!" she said

Shane couldnt agree more "Ninja smoke screen!" he said, and suddenly the Three Wind rangers, Sabrina and the unconscious Blake disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"What!" Hunter asked with anger in his voice "Come back! Im not through with you"

"You blew it" Super Toxipod said

Chubo groaned "This was not the plan" he complained

xXx

Meanwhile, the Wind rangers and Sabrina had found a cave to hide out in for the moment, and they had brought the semi-conscious Blake with them. Shane and Dustin were supporting the Navy Thunder ranger, before lying him down on the wet sand near the mouth of the cave. The Wind rangers and Sabrina demorphed and in their Ninja formed made a circle around Blake as Tori dropped to her knees and tried to wake him up.

"Come on Blake," Tori pleaded, shaking the Navy ranger gently "Wake up"

Just then Navy lightening surrounded Blake

"What's happening?" Tori asked, falling backwards away from the boy, worry etched into her features. At that moment the lightening disappeared and Blake demorphed.

Sabrina made her way to Blake's other side and shook him gently "Blake?" she questioned softly

Blake suddenly jumped and opened his eyes as he looked up at the others; he gasped and started to back away.

"It's alright" Tori assured him "You're alright"

Blake looked up at her, then at the others and sighed in relief.


Back at Ninja Ops, Cam was sitting at his computer with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders. He was trying to keep warm, while he tried tracking Sabrina's morpher signal. She had disappeared off the map, seconds after she had left Ninja Ops earlier. Was this some kind of trick again? "Bad news dad," he said as he rubbed his shoulders "The temperature's dropping one degree every hour"

"It will quickly become impossible for us to sustain life," Sensei Watanabe said

Cam nodded "I tapped into a military's satellite and found the disturbance traces back to an island in the South Pacific" he explained "its a volcanic formation that's sinking at a rate directly proportionate to the dropping climate here"

"So the island's submersion is triggering the catastrophic weather change" Sensei stated

"Exactly" Cam said "and I don't know anyway of stopping it"

"Did you find Sabrina's signal?" Sensei asked

Cam sighed and shook his head "No..." he said "not yet...But this is the island she was talking about...she has to be there"

"Keep trying Cam," Sensei said "Keep trying"

Cam nodded and returned to his search


Back on the island, Blake was standing on the edge of the cliff over looking the ocean, as the Wind rangers stood behind him, Sabrina standing in front of Dustin. After a few seconds, the Navy thunder ranger turned around to face the Wind rangers and Sabrina. "Hunter's always been there for me," he said "and now he needs my help. Im not going to let him down"

"We'll do whatever we can" Tori reassured him

"Shane," Blake started again "that wasnt us back there"

"I know" Shane said "I should have known all along, im sorry" he apologized

Blake shrugged "No problem"

"If we get Hunter back," Sabrina said "It won't matter..."

"We've got your back in this" Dustin said, nodding at Blake

Blake nodded once and smiled, turning back to the ocean behind him.

xXx

Hunter staggered slightly as he climbed to the top of a pile of rocks "WHERE ARE YOU!" he shouted, waving his Thunder staff around. With a low growl he threw his head back and let out a yell "YOU CANT HIDE FROM ME FOREVER! I WILL FIND YOU!" and he continued to push on "Blake! BLAKE!"
