REVIEW!

"Let me go! The Power's not meant for you!" Skyla plead.

"Oh it will be mine, make no mistake. And once I have the power I will rule this world and all others." Vexacus cackled.

"Hiya!" Kapri smiled.

"Hello." Marah said.

"Great outfit... not."

"What's going on? I thought I said no party on my ship." Lothor grumbled.

"Shhh." Marah frowned.

"Okay, Uncle, now the Power Rangers kinda messed up everything... we have nowhere else to go." Kapri told him.

"Power Rangers? They're history!" Lothor shouted; "They've got no Zords. It's only a matter of time before I capture the Karminion power for myself! Then the Earth will stand up and take notice."

"Oh, did you hear that girls?" Kapri grinned; "Uncle's gonna capture all of Earth!"

"Your Uncle is so powerful." one girl beamed.

"Well yes Powerful... and cunning." Lothor agreed.

"Don't forget handsome." she replied.

"So can they stay here Uncle, please?" Marah asked hopefully.

"Alright you can stay, but keep out of my way. I've still got a Planet to conquer." Lothor grumbled.

"What am I gonna do!" Lexi yelled banging her head on the desk; "Ow."

"How did it get stuck underwater anyway?" Dustin wondered.

"Let's see. I fell underwater, and my hand got stuck on a pointy rock, so my morpher's strap probably ripped open." Lexi frowned; "I have to get it back."

"Sorry Lex." Hunter sighed; "Maybe now would be a good time to contact Sensei."

"What, so he can yell at me for being careless?" Lexi snorted.

"I've tried already. Whatever's interfering with Shane's morpher is keeping us from reaching my dad too." Cam frowned.

"Yeah I'm sorry your birthday got messed up." Dustin said, nudging Tori.

"I know. It's nobody's fault... except maybe Lothor's." Tori shrugged.

"Maybe it was Karma for ruining mine." Lexi muttered. She got up and walked to her, hugging her from the side; "Cheer up Blondie, there's always gonna be a better birthday next year."

"Maybe we should go get our stuff from the beach." Dustin told them.

"Yeah." Blake agreed; "Our day off is pretty much over now."

"We'll be back Cam." Hunter said, patting the green Rangers.

"I'll call you if anything else happens." Cam nodded; "And I'll keep looking underwater for your morpher Lex."

"Thanks Cam." Lexi smiled greatfully.

"C'mon Skyla! Where'd he take you?" Shane panicked, running through the trees; "Come on, gimme a clue."

"Follow me Shane." her voice said; "Remember."

"I'll take that as a clue." Shane grinned.

"You will never get the power from me!" Skyla shouted.

"I have been chasing Karminions all of my life, I know as well as you do that when your time comes to pass and your higher form your life force will transfer to the one at hand." Vexacus growled.

"Well, guess what. It's not going to be you." Skyla snapped.

"Then who? The human boy? He's nowhere to be found!" Vexacus spat.

Shane flipped in and kicked Vaxacus back; "Look a little harder."

"Do not trifle with forces you do not understand!" Vexacus warned.

"What's not to get? Skyla good, Vexacus not good." Shane retorted; "Skyla! Run!"

Skyla started to run but a bright light errupted from her and she fell clutching her stomach. Vexacus grinned looked at her; "It is her time! The Power will be mine!"

Shane ducked under Vexacus's swing and stood in front of Skyla protectively.

"Step aside!" Vexacus ordered.

"Nin-" Shane realized Skyla was watching him and instead faught Vexacus head on.

"If you're not morphing... cause you don't want me to see... you're a little late..." Skyla gasped in pain.

Shane looked at his morpher and then back at her; "How do you know?"

"I know everything about you." She replied; "Do it... please!"

"It is too late!" Vexacus growled, kicking Shane to the ground.

"Forget this!" Shane snapped, getting back on his feet; "Ninja Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"

"Power of Air."

"Oh! I'm shaking in my fins!" Vexacus rolled his eyes and they charged at each other.

"Ninja Sword! Gold Power!" Shane cried. He slashed at Vexacus, making him give up.

"This isn't over yet Karminion!" Vexacus said, retreating back inside his ship.

"Skyla! Are you alright?" Shane demanded as he ran and helped her to her feet.

"Hurry, take me back to where we first met." Skyla said; "I don't have much time."

"This is the last time I allow my ship to be used for a circus." Lothor mumbled to himself; "Zurgane, prepare the transport beam. I'm gonna see a man about a Karminion."

"What kind of party is this?" A girl complained; "You're out of food."

"Oh, uh..." Kapri said, running over to Choobo; "Choobo, go get us some more party supplies!"

"Who should I charge it to? You know how Lothor goes through the expense account." Coobo wondered.

"I don't care! Just go, and don't come back empty handed!" Kapri shouted.

Lothor teleported down beside Vexacus's ship, using a device to de-cloak it; "Come out Vexacus! I know you're here!"

"Now, what do you want?" Vexacus demanded.

"Only to know what brings you to my little corner of the Galaxy." Lothor hissed.

"I'm a bounty hunter, and I'm closing in on my target!" Vexacus responded.

"That target wouldn't be a certain Karminion now in the company of a Power Ranger would it?" Lothor wondered.

"I don't have time to waste with an Over- the- hill Ninja warlord. Move it!" Vexacus snapped, pushing Lothor aside.

"Listen bounty hunter! This is my planet now, so why don't you climb into your little ship and fly yourself out of here!" Lothor shouted.

"I am not leaving without the Karminion!" Vexacus shouted.

"Seems to me like you've already missed that boat." Lothor thought aloud; "But maybe I can help you. For old time sake."

"I'm listening." Vexacus nodded.

"I want the Power Rangers, you want the Karminion. Maybe we can destroy them together!" Lothor brainstormed.

"And after, I can leave with my prize?" Vexacus asked.

"Well of course!" Lothor said.

"Deal!"

"Good!"

"Hehehehe, Sucker!" Lothor laughed to himself as he walked away.

"Fool, hehehehehe." Vexacus laughed.

"Check out that swell. I haven't seen waves like this for weeks." Tori exclaimed.

"Ah, I know what you mean. I was really looking forward to some down time." Hunter sighed.

"Woah, woah, woah wait a minute! Now I don't wanna sound all paranoid here, but uh, isn't this where we left all our stuff?" Blake wondered.

"Yeah." Tori said.

"Aw, man! I can't believe all our gear got jacked!" Dustin shouted frustrated.

"Wait, maybe our stuff got washed away with the tide or something." Blake said, trying to keep calm.

"The tide hasn't got in yet." Tori shook her head.

"So where is it then?" Hunter wondered.

"I know where!" Lexi said, sprinting after a bunch of Kelzaks.

"That is the last straw! Nobody steals my birthday cake! C'mon!" Tori smirked.

"Huh?"

"No way." Hunter exclaimed. Lexi watched as a Kelzak started rummaging in one of her purses, taking out her lucky necklace and putting it on himself.

"This is wrong on so many levels." Dustin noted.

"Tori! Promise me you'll never wear that bikini ever again." Blake frowned.

"No problem." Tori agreed. Lexi let out an ear piecring scream and jumped on the Kelzak wearing her necklace, pulling it off the neck and then pushing him down so she can throw the Kelzak at the other Kelzaks. She then noticed another one had on her bracelet and did the same. She continued beating them up until all that was left were a few Kelzaks that had Tori's cake and accidently smooshed the cake into Choobo's face.

Realizing the cake was no longer good she used it and smooshed it against Choobo's face again; "You ugly green booger!"

"Why do I always take it in the face?" he groaned; "Retreat!"

Lexi grabbed all of her stuff and turned to the other Rangers, who were staring at her with wide eyes; "What?"

"Lex kinda killed your cake." Hunter frowned.

"Let's just go back to Ninja Ops before anything else goes wrong." Tori frowned.

"Wait, Tori, take this with you." Lexi said, smooshing her purse in Tori's hand and approached the water.

"Where are you going?" Tori asked.

"To get my morpher." Lexi said, diving down into the water. The rest waited until she swam back up, sad; "It's not there anymore."

Tori noticed Dustin rubbing lotion on his arms; "Whats that? Sunblock?"

"Hehe, just the opposite. Cyber Cam gave me this new sunless tanning lotion." Dustin replied.

"Sure you wanna use that much?" Tori wondered.

"Yeah, I'm gonna be a bronze god!" Dustin exclaimed.

"Or a bronze doofus." Lexi mumbled under her breath.

"This party wreeks." a girl exclaimed; "You two are even bigger losers now than you were in school. I'm outta here."

"So it's true what Vexacus said, you don't have much time." Shane said as they trudged through the woods.

"Karminions change all the time. Instead of dying we pass on from one life form to the next." Skyla exclaimed.

"Woah, now thats heavy." Shane grinned.

"I guess for you it probably seems like it." Skyla giggled; "But, we're taught at birth that we pass on this life's Energy when it's time."

"I can't believe that out of anyone in the whole Universe, you chose me." Shane grimaced.

"I didn't... you're my destiny." Skyla replied; "And I am yours."

"What do you mean?" Shane wondered.

"Well, ever since you were little, and you saved me from Vexacus, I knew you were the one!" Skyla explained.

"It always seemed like a dream." Shane frowned puzzled.

"Sometimes we choose to forget what we can't understand." Skyla told him.

"Then I'm seriously gonna forget this whole conversation." Shane chuckled; "You sure I'm the one?"

"Only a person of the highest character can handle the power." She smiled; "The Red Ranger thing is a plus though."

Skyla collapsed and Shane had to hold her so she wouldn't fall unconcious on the floor; "It's time. We will be linked together forever by the power I pass on to you. The responsibility is yours. Use it wisely." Skyla died in his arms, turning into a flaming bird, and her power synced into his morpher.

"Goodbye Skyla." he whispered.

"Take your Zord down there at once and destroy the Rangers." Lothor commanded.

"Yes sir." Zurgane bowed.

"And then I want you to destroy that poser Vexacus." he added grumbling.

"But sir, I thought you said we would help him." Zurgane smirked.

"Oops, I lied."

Shane walked into a clearing to face Vexacus.

"That was very touching. But if I can't get the power from her, I'll get it from you." Vexacus snarled.

"This one's for Skyla." Shane said grimly; "Ninja Storm! Ranger Form! HA! You're chum chump!"

"Prepare to be destroyed." Vexacus grumbled.

They charged at each other, weapons drawn.

Zurgane walked in his zord; "This oughta draw them out!"

"Look who's back!" Cam shouted.

"Is the Megazord fixed?" Tori wondered.

"Of course, I am half of the brains of the operation remember?" Cam retorted.

"What about the Thunder Zords?" Hunter asked.

"Where's my Monkey?" Lexi pouted.

"The Energy field in the forest is weakening. I should be able to call them in any second. As for the Monkeyzord, we can't call him without the Orange Wind Morpher." Cam shrugged.

"That's a lie and you know it." Lexi grimaced, she pushed Cam out of the way, typing codes into the computer. Monkeyzord popped up out of nowhere; "You guys can use him."

"We'll meet you out there." Hunter nodded.

"Hopefully I'll be able to get a lock on Shane too." Cam told them.

"We'll take it for now." Tori said; "Ready... bronze god?"

"Ninja Storm! Range Form! HA!"

"Guess you're ready for round two!" Zurgane growled.

"Now while they do that." Lexi said, turning back to type codes on the computer; "I almost got the Thunder zords. I'm the best hacker you'd ever find."

Zurgane blasted at the Wind Megazord and at the Monkeyzord, knocking them both down.

"You got it!" Cam said; "The Thunder Megazord is online."

"Lets go." Hunter told his brother.

"Yo diggity." Blake said.

"Wait!" Lexi stopped them, she hugged Hunter for a quick second; "Be careful."

Hunter smiled at her; "Thunder Storm! Ranger Form!" They made it just in time to intercept one of Zurganes blows that was meant for the Wind Megazord.

"Welcome to the party!" Dustin smiled.

"Yeah thanks." Blake nodded.

"Lightning mode online." Zurgane stated. His zord got rid of its outer bulk.

"Let's do it guys! Come on!" Tori shouted.

They used a powerdisk, but Zurgane got a hold of it, so Cam had to swoop in and take it back.

"Face it boy, you're out matched!" Vexacus yelled.

"I'm still standing." Shane countered.

"You know what to do Shane." Skyla's voice said; "Trust yourself."

"I will not fail!" Shane frowned; "Battleizer mode! Engage! Power Up!"

He practically beat Vexacus up and had him on the ground.

"Alright guys, put 'em together!" Cam instructed. They merged the Wind Megazord and Thunder Megazord together, the Monkeyzord attaching itself as well.

"This does not look good!" Zurgane mumbled.

The Thunderstorm Megazord punched it repeatedly, and at the end they took him out with his blaster.

"Ejection!" Zurgane yelled.

"Oh yeah!"

"No Problemo!"

"See ya Zurgane!"

"Where are you going?" Shane demanded as Vexacus fled back into his ship; "Stop!"

"No more games." Vexacus grumbled flying away.

"Battleizer! Flight mode!" Shane yelled.

"Catch me if you can!" Vexacus dared. Shane caught up to him easily; "What? Uh? Firing lasers!" He shot at Shane, but he blocked it; "Fine! More Power!" But he took them out with his lasers and kept following Vexacus.

"Go Shane!" Tori exclaimed.

"C'mon! Surrender!" Shane shouted.

"Never!" Vexacus growled as he flew closer to the trees. Shane flew close to Vexacus and slashed at the ship. Shane was finally allowed to destroy the ship with his Ultralaser.

"Oh wow!" Tori smiled.

"Awesome!" Blake said in awe. They circled around him, admiring the Battleizer.

"Hey, you feel alright?" Blake asked, noticing Shane looked a bit sad.

"Yeah, I feel kinda bummed." Shane sighed.

"You miss her don't you." Tori wondered.

"Yeah, I guess I do." he nodded.

"She will always be with you Shane. Her power lives through you for all eternity." Sensei told his student.

"Thanks Sensei." Shane said.

"Yeah, can we talk about the Battleizer? How sick bro!" Hunter exclaimed.

"Now that was the ultimate rush or what man?" Blake chuckled.

"Yeah it's pretty sick huh?" Shane replied, finally cracking a smile.

"You all did well in my absence." Sensei spoke; "I am proud."

"Pity it had to happen on someone's birthday." Hunter sighed.

"Hey no worries, they'll be more right?" Tori laughed.

"Hey! The day's not over yet!" Dustin chuckled, coming out with a poorly made cake.

"Well if it isn't the Orange Ranger." Tori grinned.

"Do not say that when Lexi's here!" Dustin said, putting his hand on her mouth; "And Cyber Cam's cyber toast next time I see him. Make a-"

"Ew! That's her cake?" Lexi asked, disgusted. She was holding a big box; "That's pathetic!"

"Then lets see you make a better one!" Dustin shot.

"I already did!" Lexi said sticking her tounge out at him. She walked forward and put the box on the table, taking the lid off to reveal a two tier cake with blue icing; "And it tops yours."

"When did you make this?" Tori laughed.

"You know the party thing? Total lie. I was making this cake that entire time." Lexi giggled; "The dress was just for show."

"What happened to you today Lex?" Shane wondered; "You never pass up on a battle."

"Well I kinda have to." Lexi sighed; "I'm not a Ranger anymore."

"What do you mean?" Cam asked worried.

"I found my morpher." Lexi frowned, taking it out of her pocket; "Some Kelzaks had it... destroyed it beyond repair."

"Ooh, they broke the Power Disk." Hunter said.

"Which means, you really are the new Orange Ranger Dustin." Lexi said, forcing a smile. She turned to the cake; "C'mon birthday girl! Onto the birthdaying!"

Tori blew out the Candles and everyone pulled her into a group hug; "Happy Birthday Tori!"

They didn't notice as Lexi stuck a note on the wall, tiptoeing up the stairs un-noticed; "Bye... Rangers."
