Hey guys sorry it took a while to get this chapter out. I was hoping to get this one out last night but that did not happen.
"You five you will have to use your current powers until I can make the conversion," Cam said.
"What can you tell us about these powers?" Tommy asked.
"The colors are red, blue, green, yellow, and gold," Cam said.
"Sounds like when we had our zeo powers," Rocky said.
The next thing they noticed, something that looked like toys started coming out of the bag. First was a red lion with the body in the shape of a pentagon. Next came a blue dragon. Next to come out was a green bear with its body square shape. A yellow ape followed.
"When did Lothor go into the toy making business?" Dustin asked.
"These do not seem to be your average toys," Shane said.
"He's right toys don't usually move on their own," Hunter said.
"At least Sensei has something his size around here," Blake joked.
Tori smacked him on the arm.
"Ouch!" Blake said.
Thank goodness none of us said that. Jason thought.
"Great if things weren't bad enough it is like a zoo in here," Cam said.
A white and purple octopus looking toy started spinning around.
"What the heck?" Tommy asked.
"If I can catch one of these things, I might be able to analyze it," Cam said.
Suddenly, the lion took the shape of a pentagon while the dragon took on a hexagon shape, the bear took the shape of a square, the ape took the shape of a triangle, and the octopus went back into the bag.
"Ok, that was weird," Rocky said.
"No doubt," Zack said.
"What are the markings on the toys?" Tommy asked.
Shane picked up the red one, Dustin picked up the yellow one, Tori picked up the blue one, and Cam picked up the green one.
"The markings are Japanese symbols. This one has the symbol of fire," Shane said,
"The symbol on this one is Earth," Dustin said.
"The symbol on this one is water," Tori said.
"This one has the symbol of wood," Cam said.
"How do you know that?" Rocky asked.
"In addition to learning the ways of the ninja, we are taught the Japanese symbols," Tori said.
"Put them near the cell phones for future observational," Sensei said.
"If the five of you are going to be samurai, you will need to get adjusted to the samurai way," Shane said.
"I will get you on a training schedule," Sensei said.
Jason checked his cell phone and said," Oh man, I have to get back to the house."
"Let me guess, you have a hot date tonight?" Tommy joked.
"If I did, it is none of your business bro," Jason smirked.
"Maybe that is why Shane and I are closing tonight," Dustin said.
Everyone went their separate ways. The next day, Hunter and Blake were working when the rest of the Ninja Storm team walked in.
"So Kelly, how was your date last night?" Shane asked.
Real smooth Shane, ask her as soon as we walk in. Tori thought.
"What makes you think I had a date last night?" Kelly asked.
"Well Shane and I did close without you here last night," Dustin said.
"Even if I did have a date, I would not tell any of my employes," Kelly said.
"Ok fine,but that does not mean you can't tell Tori," Dustin said.
"Gee thanks guys," Tori said.
"Did Jason mention us?" Blake asked.
"Ok fine, we did have a date last night. No he did not mention you guys. By the way, how did you meet him and his friends?" Kelly asked.
"From a mutual friend," Tori said.
"Yea someone they met when they were taking karate," Shane said.
"That's weird, I never thought the five of you would be into karate," Kelly said.
"We are not, but Hunter and I met this guy before we moved here," Hunter said.
"Yea, one day he came to the track here. We introduced him to Shane, Tori, and Dustin. A couple of weeks ago, we ran into him again. He was with Jason and his friends," Blake said.
"Do I know this mutual friend?" Kelly asked.
"No, like Blake said the two of us met him before we moved here," Hunter said.
"Maybe I can meet this guy sometime then," Kelly said.
She bought that? Dustin thought.
I think we just got away with keeping the truth a secret. Shane thought.
"Now, that I think about it, Jason did say that he did meet one of the guys he lives with in a karate tournament in high school," Kelly said.
Now we just have to tell Jason our cover up story, so she does not get suspicions. Tori thought.
A short time later, Shane, Tori, and Dustin made their way to Ninja Ops. They found the veteran rangers, who appeared to to mad.
"Hi guys," Dustin said.
"Just the rangers we need to talk to. I was on my date last night when Kelly told me something that sounds border line with the rules we were originally given," Jason said.
"What rules are in question?" Shane asked.
"Number one, never use your power for personal gain," Zack said.
"Number two, and this is the big one in question, never escalate a battle unless forced to," Jason said.
"In my defense, first off Kelly and I were closing when a few guys from another store came in to trash the place. Second, she was in the back and I hid before I morphed. If I did not do something, who knows what would of happened," Dustin said.
"Are you saying you acted in self defense, not just for yourself, but for Kelly and the store?" Rocky asked.
"That is totally why I did it, she walked out from the back and was surprised to see me morphed. I did not tip my hand as to I am the yellow ranger. I did not want to be in the paper," Dustin said sweating like crazy.
"Guys, I think we can stop integrating him. He sounds like he is sorry," Tommy said.
"Thanks dude," Dustin said.
"Don't call me dude," Tommy said.
"You guys obviously have not heard the rest of the story. Shane got jealous of Dustin's new found fame. Dustin also did try to take on a monster by himself," Tori said.
"It's true, not to mention their was a rift between Dustin and the team," Cam said taking a break from him work.
"All of that did happen, but I made up with everyone and we worked as a team to destroy the monster," Dustin said.
"Hunter Blake and I were captured by the same monster," Tori said.
"We hope you learned your lesson rookie," Jason said.
"Oh yes sir, I did," Dustin said sounding like a solider.
"Well then, that is all," Jason said.
"I hope you have learned your lesson," Sensei said.
"Yes I have Sensei," Dustin said.
The veterans started laughing.
"What is so funny guys?" Dustin asked.
"We already knew all about your solo adventur. Kelly told me what happened at the store and about the newspaper article. Earlier today, Cam and Sensei told us the rest of the story," Jason said.
Shane and Tori started laughing.
"Oh come on, it is not that funny," Dustin said.
"Wait until Hunter and Blake hear about this," Tori said in between laughs.
"You guys are good sneaky but good," Dustin said.
"Changing subjects..." Cam said.
"Yes please," Dustin interrupted.
"Changing subjects, I figure out what the 'toys' are. They are the zords. To operate them, you will have to use a Japanese symbol, which I will teach you later. The Octopus one, belongs to the gold ranger and he will have to call for it by name," Cam said.
"Anything else?" Adam asked.
"I have switched the yellow suit from female to male," Cam said.
"Thank goodness," Jason said.
"Oh by the way, we told Kelly a cover up story about how we met," Tori said.
Tori told the guys the cover up. The next few day were quite until Marha and Kapri accidentally sent down a monster that was so clumsy he cause more damage by accident then he did on purpose. The wind and thunder rangers easily took care of him.
"What do you girls have plan next, to unleash a space mutant that blows itself up?" Lothor asked.
"Yes, I mean of course not uncle," Kapri said.
"You two are pathetic. Give me an hour, or less, and I will so you how a battle should go," Kim said.
The Ninja Storm rangers were at Storm Chargers, while the veterans were at Ninja Ops. Tommy was telling his team, Cam, and Sensei about his new job.
"Wow of all people, you will be a science teacher," Zack said.
"Yup, in the fall at Reefside," Tommy said.
"Good luck Mr. Oliver," Rocky said.
"That will be Dr. Oliver."
The group was notified about a group of Kelzacks. They morphed into their ninja form before fighting off the foot solders before Kim went samurai. The veteran's morphed into the morphin form before trying to dodge Kim's attacks. After she wore the team out, she took something out of her pocket.
"What is she doing?" Tommy asked.
She used her morpher to draw on the round object. While drawling, she said," Turtle folding zord!"
The object grew into a mostly gray looking turtle with no shell and a round body.
"That must be her new zord," Rocky said.
"No crap Sherlock," Jason said.
The guys called for the ninja megazord. The only change was Zack's lion zord is the upper body, while everything else remained the same.
"A new ranger and new zord will not change things," Kim said.
She sent her zord towards the megazord, but Tommy used his zord to catch it in the falcon zord mouth.
"And that is how the falcon catches the turtle," Tommy said.
After Kim dislodge her zord from the megazord, she tried it again. This time Jason's zord caught Kim's in its mouth. She got her zord away again before she gave up.
"I'll be back," she said before leaving.
The guys went back to Ninja Ops where they found Blake, Hunter, and Tori.
"Where is everyone else?" Adam asked.
"The guys are at work, Sensei is meditating, and Cam is busy researching the Samurai powers," Tori said.
"Yo dudes, that was assume," Cyber Cam said sticking his head to where everyone could see him behind the computer.
"If I were you Tommy, I would drop the cheesy lines," Tori said.
"I did not think what I said was that bad," Tommy said.
"Believe me, he can say cheesier phrases," Jason said.
Tommy gave him a stare.
