Okay, time for 'episode' number 2.

No, I don't own Power Rangers. Stop asking me that! ;)


Episode 2: There's No 'I' in Team

A few days after their first battle as the Ninja Storm Rangers, Tori and Max were in a barren egg-shaped chamber in the Hidden Lair. In front of them was Dr. O., staff in hand. The three Power Rangers were in their Ranger uniforms.

"Ready?" asked Dr. O., twirling the staff in a kata. Max sighed, "Ready as I'll ever be."

"No," was Tori's nervous verdict.

"Hi-yah!"

Using the staff Dr. O. attacked the other two Rangers and defended himself from their punches and kicks. This continued for a few minutes until Dr. O. had managed to defeat both Max and Tori, the two junior Rangers lying on their backs groaning. Dr. O. leaned on his staff.

"Not bad, but if Mesogog unleashes a real threat on us you two are toast."

"I noticed," Cam noted as he entered the room. "Well, toast or not, the three of you need to go cope with some Kelzacks in the plaza."

"Lovely," Tori sighed as she and Max got to their feet. "And how are we going to get there?"

"Hayley and I added a ninja streaking feature to the Wind Morphers; it's like super speed but you three will be able to do it morphed or unmorphed."

"Sweet," Max nodded. "Let's go!"

Together the three Rangers streaked off, leaving trails that matched their Ranger color. Cam sighed and pushed up his glasses.

"I didn't get a chance to tell them that Marah and Kapri were with the Kelzacks. I guess they'll know soon enough though."

In a clear area of the park the trio found Kelzacks scaring off the remaining park patrons. In the back were two women. One had oversized pink pigtails while the other had bushy brown hair in a pair of upstanding pigtails pushed back by giant yellow and red goggles. The latter waved.

"Hi! I'm Marah and this is my big sister Kapri! We're here to help Mesogog turn the world back into dino world!"

"Marah," sniffed Kapri, flinging one braided pigtail over her shoulder. "Stop being so silly."

"I am not silly!"

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!" Marah pouted, stomping a foot. Kapri stuck her tongue out at her sister. "Yes."

"Are you two done yet?" Tori asked idly. The two glowered at the Blue Ranger.

"Go away!"

"Not unless you go away first," Max retorted. "We're the Power Rangers."

"Oh, we're so scared," Kapri scoffed. Tori smirked, "Not yet. But you will be."

"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form!"

All three Rangers morphed.

"Power of Air! Red Wind Ranger!"

"Power of Earth! Yellow Wind Ranger!"

"Power of Water! Blue Wind Ranger!"

Max and Tori fared much better against Kelzacks than they had against Dr. O., in part because their elemental powers and physical prowess were enhanced when morphed and in part because Dr. O. was a heck of a lot tougher than a bunch of Kelzacks. Which made sense, as this was his fifth morpher.

So Max used his wind powers to blow away some Kelzacks while Tori ran across a nearby pond before kicking and punching other Kelzacks. Dr. O. just kicked and punched the Kelzacks into oblivion, hardly needing his earth-based powers.


Next time on Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Tori gets distracted from her Ranger duties due to her love of surfing. Can she cope with being a Power Ranger before it's too late?
