Samurai's Journey

"No way dude! There is no way he does it!" Hunter said as the group of Rangers stood in a circle in ops.

"I dunno dude, he is pretty strong for a little guy!" Dustin smiled.

"Quiet! A little respect for the master!" Shane hushed the others.

"Now watch closely Rangers," Sensei said as he stood before a giant block of marble. "HIYA!" the guinea pig yelled as he jumped on the block and broke it.

"You were saying?" Kaylee asked, turning to her boyfriend.

"I stand corrected," Hunter smiled. "But how?"

"The power comes, not from the body, but from the mind," Tori explained.

"Good job Tor," Leanne smiled as she stood beside Kaylee to watch the training.

"Alright! I'm up!" Hunter smiled. Leanne's eyes widened as her brother bent down. She set another block of wood and patted the blonde on the head.

"May the force be with you brother," she laughed.

"Hey! If he can do it, I, eh… think I can," Hunter said. The Crimson Ranger hit the block of wood with his hand and instantly recoiled in pain. Shane and Dustin laughed at their friend and he tended to his sore hand.

"Looks like rodent, one, Thunder Ranger, zip!" Shane smiled.

"You think you can do better?" Hunter asked. Shane sat down behind the block and hit his hand against it, just like Hunter. Tori tried and found the same result. Blake tried using his head and managed to… lose a few brain cells. Dustin tried kicking it but only ended up with a sore foot. Finally Kaylee went and she managed to crack the marble just a little bit. Leanne smiled proudly at her student but Sensei still wasn't pleased.

"You have come far in your training, but you still have a long way to go," the guinea pig smiled.

"Yeah, but you're like a full on Ninja Master!" Dustin said. Suddenly they heard Cam yell out a Ninja cry and they watched him break the marble.

"Alright! How did you do that?" Shane asked the green boy.

"Dude, that's cheating, you used Kay's broken piece!" Dustin cried out.

"You mean that one?" Leanne smirked, pointing to a cracked piece of marble in the corner.

"You just don't get it, do you? Just because someone isn't a Ranger, it doesn't make them completely useless!" Cam said.

"Yeah! I had that moment," Kaylee agreed. Cam looked at the guys before walking out. Tori and Kaylee glared at the boys before they followed. The girls found Cam outside skipping rocks on the lake.

"You alright?" Tori asked as she walked up to the Sensei's son and Kaylee jumped up behind him, messing up his toss.

"Yeah, just tired of the lack of respect," Cam said, skipping another rock.

"Who says you don't get any respect?" Kaylee asked. "Everything we're able to do is because of what you're able to do."

"It's not enough! I wanna part of it!" Cam said.

"A Ranger?" Tori asked. "Why not talk to Sensei?"

"I have, he's forbidden me," Cam sighed.

"Cam, Tor forbid me, look where I am," Kaylee encouraged, earning a nudge from Tori.

"It's not because I'm his little brother, or because I'm his son. He says he made a promise when I was a kid," Cam explained.

"Want us to talk to him?" Tori asked.

"No need, if I know the guys, they're in there asking Sensei about this right now," Kaylee said.

"Either way, he just wants what's best for you," Tori said.

"I know," Cam said.

"You have to tell him how you feel. Make sure he understands how important this is to you," Kaylee smiled. "He's the most reasonable guinea pig I've ever met!"

"Fine, I'll talk, but if he doesn't listen, I'm not cleaning is cage for a month!" Cam said, betting on the outcome.

"Alright, if he doesn't listen, Tori will do it!" Kaylee smiled as the three turned to walk away. When they did, a splash came out of the water and the three teens turned. On the beach, they saw Marah, Kapri, Kalzaks and a monster named Monstopolis, who looked like a walking city.

"We'd hate to break up this greeting card moment," Kapri started.

"But we're here to destroy you!" Marah finished. "Evil enough for you?"

"Whatever," Kapri sighed. She then ordered the monster to attack and as soon as she did an energy beam was sent flying towards the teens. Tori, Kaylee and Cam jumped out of the way then got ready for a fight. As they did, four streaks appeared and the boys arrived behind Tori and Kaylee.

"Ready?" Tori asked.

"NINJA STORM."

"THUNDER STORM."

"RANGER FORM!" they called, morphing into their uniforms.

"POWER OF EARTH."

"AIR."

"WATER."

"POWER OF THE SAMURAI."

"POWER OF THUNDER."

Cam took on the Kalzaks as the Rangers fought the monster. Dustin noticed a strange pattern in the fighting style of the monster but never said anything. He noticed that the monster would fight Kaylee as soon as she would get back up from the fight and his second priority was the other Rangers.

The Kalzaks held Cam down as Marah used her staff to blast the Rangers. "Get her powers!" the spider sister yelled as Madtopolis opened the ball he was carrying and drained the Ranger's powers, causing them to demorph and Kaylee felt her revival powers go into the ball.

"Pleasure doing business with you, power losers!" the monster smiled before the aliens were teleported away. Cam got up from his spot on the sand to help the Rangers stand.

"You guys okay?" Cam asked.

"I feel like I just rode a forty-five minute Moto on a tricycle!" Dustin said.

"I think he got my powers…" Kaylee said, leaning on Hunter.

"We better get you back to ops," Cam said, helping the Rangers walk back.

When they did get back, Cam ran a scan on Kaylee to figure out what was wrong.

"Man that guy worked us," Shane commented, completely out of breath. What happened out there?"

"Madtropolis drained your Ranger energy force and stole some of your powers, Kay," Cam said, keeping his eyes on the computer. "If you go out and fight again, there is a good chance you won't come back."

"This is grave news," Sensei said. "We must find a way to retrieve your powers."

"You all look high," Leanne commented as sat down behind the group.

"Look!" Tori said. "There he is!" she pointed to the screen where the monster was laughing about his win.

"Alright, it's go time!" Shane said, slowly getting up. Once he was up, he helped the others and Cam went to the computer.

"At least let me adjust your morphers to give you a temporary increase in energy," he said, typing away. The was a glow on the morphers before the Rangers felt some energy coming back.

-----Ninja-Storm-----

Shane Ninja Streaked to grab the energy ball as the monster turned his back and the Red Ranger pulled a plug. "Sorry, but we're here to stop your plans!"

"Hey! That's mine!" the monster sulked, "Give it back!" he blasted the rangers with a beam and Shane avoided it and charged at the monster with the ball in his hand. He fired his hawk blaster but Madtropolos vanished. He reappeared behind Shane and attacked from the back.

"I'm taking my ball and going home!" Shane said, standing back up on his feet.

"That's what you think!" the monster said before turning the world dark.

"Oh man! I got a bad feeling about this!" Shane said. He turned and saw the city monster charging at him so he pulled out his ninja sword and attacked. Suddenly, his opponent turned into Hunter and Blake.

"I thought I was fighting Madtropolos!" Shane said, helping the boys up.

"So did we!" Blake groaned. The boys turned to see Dustin with his saber.

"You're toast Madtropolos!" the Yellow Ranger yelled, firing a beam.

"Dustin! What are you doing?" Shane asked, only to be attacked by his friend. After being knocked down, Dustin finally realised he was fighting his friends.

"Where's Kay?" Hunter asked, looking around for his girlfriend. He saw her and Tori fighting a few feet away. He was going to stop it but Shane got in his way.

"Dude! Cat-fight!" he smiled. Hunter saw Kaylee fall to the ground and ran to her side as she realised she was fighting Tori. The group reunited as Madtropolos appeared.

"I've had enough of your mind games!" Kaylee yelled.

"You're no fun! I'm just getting started!" Madtropolos vanished and Kaylee looked at her friends. Suddenly, they all turned into the City monster. One of them charged at her and she used her ninja sword to slash him. When he was hit, the monster turned into Dustin.

"DUSTIN!" Kaylee yelled. She started to panic until Leanne popped into her head. Kaylee remembered her first day of training and the words her new sensei had told her.

"You must trust your heart. You're eyes may deceive you. Concentrate, and your inner Ninja will tell you what is real and what is not." Kaylee did as she was told and focused. A bunch of villains came around her but she kept her cool. Suddenly, she fired a beam at one and it fell back. As soon as it hit the ground, the Rangers were freed from the warped world.

"I can't take much more!" Tori said as she ran up to her sister. Kaylee cringed as she felt her energy leave.

"ARG! This is worst than an ice-cream head-ache!" Dustin complained.

"Thanks! Now I'm hungry on top of everything else!" Tori whined.

"Now! For the last time! Give my ball back!" Madtropolos yelled.

"Let me get this straight!" Shane replied, getting up. "You want us to hand it over, with all our powers and Kaylee's reviving powers in it!"

"THUNDERSTORM CANNON" the Rangers yelled as they assembled all their weapons. The Rangers hit the monster and it blew up.

"OHH! I'm scraping the skies!" Madtropolos yelled as it grew. The Rangers all sighed before the monster swept it's hand just above them. Shane gave Dustin the ball and tried to slash it open but it didn't even leave a mark.

"Cam! We need the Megazords!" Shane said into the communicator.

"You'll never last through a Megazords fight!" Cam replied.

"We don't have a choice!"

"Fine," Cam agreed. "Do what you have to, but get that sphere back to ops. I've been working on a new teleportation system, I hope it's ready," As soon as Cam finished, the sphere vanished from Dustin's hands. The Rangers saw the Zords and jumped into them, except Kaylee who still had no Zord.

"I got the sphere, now I'm sending you some protection. It's all you can handle," the guy in green said. Shane accepted the download and put it into the Megazords. When it came out, it revealed itself to be... a scarf.

"A scarf? You sent them a bloody scarf!" Kaylee yelled. "What? Are they supposed to sneeze in it?"

"Just go with it!" Cam said. Madtropolos blasted the zords but the Winds used the scarf for protection. Them, they threw the scarf at the monster who suffered from it, but not badly, just enough for the Megazords to pull a disappearing act.

"It's going to take more than a giant hanky to fool me!" the monster yelled. He blasted the spot the Megazords stood in before and created a giant fire. The Megazords reappeared and were destroyed by the heat. The five Rangers were thrown out. Kaylee ran up to them and helped them up. The next thing the Ranger knew, they were back at ops.

"Save your energy Rangers, I have engaged Cam's teleportation system to bring you to safety for now," Sensei explained.

"Where is Cam?" Tori asked.

"He went to the past to get a power source strong enough to open the sphere," Leanne explained.

"He went back in time?" Kaylee asked her teacher as she rested her head on Hunter's shoulder and let Dustin rest his head on hers.

"Yeah."

"Man! I wanted to ask him to talk to Einstein and see if butter conducts electricity!" Kaylee whined, her words earning her glares from everyone in the room but Blake and Hunter.

"What happens if Cam doesn't get back?" Shane asked.

"I fear that would mean there will be nothing to stop Madtropolos from destroying our planet," Sensei said.

"Once again, no pressure..." Kaylee joked. "I just have one question."

"Yes, Kaylee."

"Why did Lothor steal my powers? They're in no way connected to my Ranger powers so that ball must have been programmed to steal them," Kaylee said.

"This will be answered in time, young Samurai."

The Rangers sat on the table until they suddenly started to fade away.

"Sensei... what's happening?" Tori asked.

"Time is returning to it's true course," the guinea pig said before the Rangers returned to their location outside ops.

They stood before the giant monster, thinking they were gonners, until they heard a helicopter. They turned and spotted a green helicopter in the sky.

"Hello Power Rangers!" The Ranger yelled from the chopper. "Looks like you could use some help! Green Samurai Ranger at your service!"

"GO GREEN!" Kaylee yelled back, smiling as she pointed to her lighter green. The Green Samurai Ranger used his powers wisely and the monster was taken down in minutes. After the fight, the Green Samurai Ranger stood before the Red, Yellow, Blue and Green Wind Rangers, and the Two Thunder Rangers.

"Maybe we're all hallucinating?" Dustin said.

"You're not hallucinating Dustin," the Green Ranger said and a smile appeared on Tori's face.

"How do you know my name?" Dustin said.

"Why wouldn't I know your name?" Green asked before powering down.

"CAM!" Kaylee smiled. "Green! GREEN!" she yelled, running up to her fellow green Ranger and hugging him.
