REVIEW!
Tori stuffed the last bag into her van; "I thought you guys were only going camping for a few days. This is enough gear to outfit a whole city."
"What? It's just the necessities." Hunter smirked.
Lexi ran out singing; "Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life"
"Bare necessities doesn't include a T.V." Tori shot.
"How else are we gonna watch Supercross tomorrow?" Dustin asked
"You can stay home and watch it in the actual race." Lexi suggested.
"You're not supposed to watch Supercross Dustin. It's called roughing it." Tori grimaced.
"Yeah well if men were made to rough it why would he have made a portable generator?" Shane asked.
"Just get in the van before I change my mind." Tori laughed; "You coming Lex?"
"I'll take my BMX." Lexi nodded, fastening her helmet straps; "It'll be a lot faster for me anyway."
"Thanks for giving us a ride Tori. And thanks for... coming along Lexi?" Blake said.
"No problem." Tori sighed; "I wouldn't miss seeing you guys in the wild for the world. Plus, this way we know where to find you when things go horribly wrong."
"Come on we're highly trained Ninjas! What could happen?" Blake asked.
"Wait, Tori." Lexi stopped her; "I have to tell you something."
Tori and Lexi went away far enough so that the guys wouldn't hear their conversation; "What's wrong Lex?"
"I don't know." Lexi said; "I keep getting this really scary nightmare that every time Lothor dies I'm going to die with him."
"You think it's trying to tell you something?" Tori asked.
"I don't know. Itold you because I don't want Hunter to freak out if it's nothing." Lexi said, partially freaking out herself.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." Tori smiled.
"Nothing, no form of alien prescence anywhere." Cam sighed; "Something's just not right."
"I agree, Lothor has been far too quiet." Sensei agreed.
"You don't think he's thought better of things and just... left." Cam thought aloud.
"Alas, I am certain that would be the last thing he would do. This prolonged silence can only mean one thing- he is planning his biggest attack yet." Sensei told his son.
"Well I've been working on several new features for the Samurai Star Megazord. I hope they're ready in time." Cam shrugged.
"Oh come on!" Kapri groaned; "Lets get started already! Where's Zurgane?"
"Right here." he growled from behind; "This meeting is for Evil Officers only, what are you two doing here?"
"Uh, well we know we're not technically officers, but we just thought you know since-" Kapri began.
"Get out!" Zurgane yelled.
"You don't have to yell." Marah said, holding her ears shut.
"Yeah, we don't want to listen to a bunch of losers anyway!" Kapri frowned. She heard gasps and other sounds from the other Generals; "Yeah, we got lots better to do with our time."
"We do?" Marah asked dumbly.
"Out!" Zurgane growled once more. The girls did what was asked and ran out. He turned back to the other Generals; "I call to order the Council of Officers! We're here to discuss my plan, to destroy the Power Rangers... starting with that Orange one."
"Your plan? I see, and why should anyone listen to your plan?" Vexacus asked.
"Well because I... because it's my plan! And, and I say you have to listen! It's Evil Space Ninja protocol!" Zurgane said in a panic, causing the others to laugh.
"Yes, well there's a good, solid answer." Vexacus said sarcastically.
"Silence, I demand your respect!" Zurgane grumbled.
"Zurgane, Zurgane... haven't you learned by now respect is not something you demand, it's something you must earn!" Vexacus grumbled.
"My leadership has earned the respect of my master Lothor." Zurgane retorted.
"And if I were Lothor I might want to ask myself, what have you done for me?" Vexacus hissed.
"Fail again and again! That's what Zurgane's really good at!" Shimatzu said.
"Do not mock me!" Zurgane growled, going over to hit Shimatzu, but Vexacus stood in the way.
"Zurgane, you haven't had much luck getting those Power Rangers have you? Especially that Orange one." Vexacus said; "Maybe it's time you step aside, let another General take the helm for a while."
"I will never relinquish my duties! Never! I will dispose of those Power Rangers! And then we shall see who Lothor keeps in command." Zurgane fumed, leaving the room.
"Um, Zurgane! What about the meeting Zurgane?" Choobo called out, following both Zurgane and Motordrone out the door.
"He's so gullible it's almost criminal." Vexacus mused.
"We'll let him tire the Power Rangers out for us, and we'll go in and take the credit!" Shimatzu brainstormed.
They didn't realize Kapri and Marah were listening in on their conversation. Kapri smirked; "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Well I don't know. What are you thinking?" Marah wondered.
Tori drove her van down the rode towards the camping site. She had allowed Lexi to ride ahead of her, and Lexi was going much faster than she was, and everyone in the van tried to enjoy the much boring ride.
Lexi found a small ramp on the side of the rode where the van wouldn't go and so she pedaled her bike forward and did a no- hander until she was back on the rode. Being out in the quiet was something she enjoyed, for it calmed her down. For a few minutes the teenagers in the van talked about Lexi's trick, but they all got bored again. Lexi fell back to the side of the van and gave Tori a thumbs up, indicating she could go on like this for hours.
"Do you guys ever wonder why the sky is blue, and not like... see through?" Dustin asked, Tori had left the window open so Lexi had heard his question and chuckled.
"No." Tori laughed.
"Not me." Hunter said.
"Cause I mean it's just air. It should be see through." Dustin said, looking up to the sky. He then turned to Shane; "You ever wonder about that?"
"Dustin, I'm the air guy, you know Power of Air." Shane smirked; "You worry about the dirst and figure out why it's brown."
"Okay I was just asking." Dustin said.
Hunter felt his phone beeping and read a message out loud; "The sky is blue because it reflects off the sea. And the sea is blue because it reflects off the sky. Lexi."
"How did she..." Tori wondered, turning to look at Lexi, but she was a few meters away parked. She put her phone back into her pocket, turned and waved at them, and started pedaling again; "That girl never ceases to amaze me."
"Me neither." Hunter smiled inwardly.
"When my plan suceeds there will be no question on who the top General is." Zurgane grumbled. Kapri and Marah came up behind him.
"Hey what're you looking at?" Kapri asked.
"None of your business." Zurgane retorted.
"No need to bite out heads off." Marah frowned.
"We have something important to tell you." Kapri said urgently.
"What is it?" Zurgane asked.
"Well its about Shimatzu and Vexacus." Kapri told him.
"I'm listening." Zurgane said.
"Okay, so... we were spying on them and we heard them plotting." Marah told him.
"Plotting? About what?" Zurgane wondered.
"Well, that's the part we're not so sure about." Kapri said.
Just then a Kelzak carrying a box came into the room and he shoved the two girls away; "Out of my way! I have a mission to carry out!" He tried to snatch the box out of the Kelzak's hand; "Gimme that!" Zurgane signed the papers and threw the box open, pulling out a device; "Perfect!"
"Hey, whats that?" Marah asked.
"An upgrade, found it on the internet." Zurgane explained.
"What does it do?" Kapri asked.
"With this, I'll give the Power Rangers something they'll never expect." Zurgane said; "Now get out of my way!"
"You think we should tell Uncle?" Marah asked Kapri.
"Tell him what?" Kapri smirked.
Tori kept driving forward with Lexi still pedaling her BMX and a girl was screaming for help in the street. Lexi ditched her BMX and helmet and ran towards the girl.
"This does not look good." Tori noted.
"Last time we stopped at the side of the rode our school got sucked into space." Dustin reminded her.
Tori stopped in front of the girl as Lexi stood next to her.
"Are you alright miss?" Lexi asked worried.
"It's my friend. We need help. Do you guys have a rope?" the girl asked, freaking out.
"You didn't happen to pack a rope with the C.D player and the laptop did you?" Tori asked.
"Forget them, I have a rope." Lexi said, taking one out of her pack; "Take me to your friend."
They ran to a small ledge where rock climbers were waiting for help. the girl turned to them; "I accidently leaned and her rope broke. She's stuck."
Shane looked over the ledge; "Hold on! We're gonna get you outta there."
Lexi threw her padding aside and held the end of her rope; "I'm going down there."
"No, Blake should go down." Hunter said; "He's pretty light."
"Listen. A life is at stake." Lexi spoke, she hadn't sounded so serious in a while; "Either we do it this way, or I do it my way. And that one doesn't include ropes."
"Fine, we'll do it." Shane nodded, he took the other guys to the side; "We should be ready to bail and go to Ranger Mode if anything goes wrong."
"Reading your mind bro." Hunter told him.
As soon as she was fastened up she turned to Dustin and nodded.
"Alright, we're good here." Dustin said.
Hunter stayed at the edge to make sure Lexi wouldn't fall; "You sure about this?"
"One hundred percent." Lexi smiled. She lowered herself down slowly, then taking larger jumps down. She touched the girl on her shoulder; "You're going to be alright!" But then she noticed something wasn't right and tried to scream. The girl turned into a Kelzak, and as Lexi was trying to get away from the Kelzak, the rope started slipping.
"Lexi, are you alright?" Hunter called from above; "Is the girl safe?"
Just then the girl who had asked them for help smiled wickedly; "She's fine." She turned into a Kelzak fury and flipped Blake and Dustin over to where the others were standing, on the ledge. The other Rock Climbers walked forward and turned into Kelzak furies as well.
"I so didn't see it coming." Tori smirked.
"Attack!" Zurgane commanded the Kelzak furies.
The Rangers were fighting them off but Hunter realized Lexi's rope was slipping again;"Lexi!" Tori joined him to see if they could help Lexi.
The Kelzak fury fighting Lexi pushed her down, so she was dangling from the rope upside down. She blasted at it with Electricity, but he didn't even seem phazed. He slashed at the rope, and Lexi fell.
"No!" Tori screamed.
But just before she hit the ground a giant, mechanical arm caught her, and they looked up to see the Monkeyzord; "Phew, that was a bit too close. Thanks Monkey."
Hunter and Tori smiled in relief, and Hunter went back into battle so Tori could watch if Lexi needed help.
"You think a little knife can stop me?" Lexi asked the Kelzak Fury; "Elemental Storm! Ranger Form! Elemental Power- Fire!"
She streaked up the ledge, taking the Kelzak Fury with her, and threw it at the other Kelzaks before standing in front of her friends; "You guys alright?"
Shane smiled; "Even better. I think its time we clean up these clowns. Ready?"
"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"
"Thunder Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"
"Ninja Ranger Power!"
"Attack!" Zurgane commanded the Kelzak Furies again.
Shane used his Ninja Sword's gold power to slash through the Kelzaks and he attacked Zurgane, only to be flipped back down; "You want to play rough? Fine! Battleizer"
He used his Battleizer's lasers to knock many Kelzaks down at once.
"Zurgane is as useless as I thought he would be." Vexacus said; "Lothor won't even miss him."
Just then the Evil Space Ninja plowed into the room; "What did I miss? Not one of those sitcoms I hope."
"No sir, our plan... a perfect plan that is coming together well..." Vexacus mumbled.
"Perfectly?" Shimatzu said in a question form.
"Yes, Perfectly." Vexacus nodded.
"It better, because I've been reviewing your performance reports. And the truth of the matter is, you things are outta here... unless things start going our way." Lothor told them.
"Yes, sir." Vexacus sighed.
"Now where is Zurgane?" Lothor grumbled; "He's never around when you need him."
"Alright Sensei, whatever you think is best." Shane said into his morpher; "Alright he told us, there was nothing we could do back there that we can't do here."
"Cool, so we Camp?" Dustin asked.
"We camp." Shane said happily.
Lexi picked her BMX off the ground and rolled it over to Tori's van; "I love this forest."
"I still don't know how you guys can call it camping." Tori laughed.
"Tori, don't say a thing until you experience it." Blake warned.
"I'm not experiencing anything. I'm just gonna drop you guys off and then we're out of there." Tori told him. She continued driving along the road, Lexi ahead of her by a few meters.
Tori and Lexi finished taking bags out of the van and sighed after putting Lexi's BMX in it; "That's the last of it."
They looked at the way the guys set up their 'camp' and Tori frowned; "You've got to be kidding."
"This isn't camp!" Lexi agreed with her; "Camping is a night under the stars sleeping in tents and roasting marshmellows. Not sitting around watching T.V."
"Hey, anyone wanna order pizza?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah, I'm in. Except none of that pineapple stuff though, huh?" Blake asked his brother."
"Fine." Hunter huffed. He took out his phone and groaned; "No signal, looks like we're having hamburgers."
"Where's the fridge?" Dustin asked.
"I think you guys are missing the point." Tori said.
"The point is to have fun." Blake told the girls; "You sure you don't wanna stay?"
Lexi began spinning; "This forest is awesome!" She walked to a tree and climbed into one of the branches; "Its so quiet and peaceful!"
"Lex, we gotta get back. Cam needs some help at Ninja Ops." Tori rolled her eyes.
"Alright, one second." Lexi smiled brightly. She climbed onto one of the highest branches and smiled down at them; "I'm on top of the world."
"Lex, get down before you hurt yourself." Hunter demanded.
She stuck her tounge out at him, but jumped down from the top of the tree, flipping onto the ground; "I love trees!"
"You seem so happy in here." Shane noted.
"I'm not some city girl Shane. If you gave me a couple of pieces of wood and some water I could live here my entire life!" Lexi exclaimed; "Far away from the idiots who use Electricity for everything."
Tori grabbed Lexi by the arm and pulled her to the van; "We'll be back to pick you guys up the day after tomorrow. Bye!"
"See ya Tor!" The guys chorused, and then after getting a look from Lexi; "Bye Lex!"
"Bye idiots that use Electricity for everything!" Lexi smiled, getting into Tori's van.
Tori tried to drive, but found out the tires were stuck in the dirt; "Oh great." Two girls looked over at the guys; "Guys, can we get a little help over here?"
Lexi got out of the car to make sure they would do it right.
"On the count of three." Tori said to the guys; "One... two... three!"
The guys pushed the van from behind as Tori pushed the accelerator, getting dirt all over the guys. As the van pulled forward the guys fell to the ground, and Tori destroyed the Regenerater.
Lexi couldn't help but laugh at the guys when she saw their faces. They stood in front of Tori's van, covered in dirt. But Lexi stood far away from them.
"Oops." Tori shrugged, smiling innocently.
"Ugh man I haven't had that much mud in my eyes since I ran out of Tear offs last week." Dustin exclaimed.
"You guys, we're so sorry about your Generator." Tori said to them.
"Ah it's not your fault." Blake chuckled.
"How was the shower?" Tori asked.
"You can say it was refreshing." Shane told her.
"But cold... would be more accurate." Hunter said.
"Well we know it doesn't exactly make it up to you guys, but your burgers are on the grill, and your sodas are getting cold in the stream." Tori smiled.
"And... I did absolutely nothing!" Lexi said; "I was too busy checking out the trees around here. They're so tall!"
"Sounds good to me." Blake said as he opened the grill. He turned back to Tori; "You're forgiven, Lexi... not so much."
"Aw." Lexi frowned. Then two figures dropped out of the sky.
"Come on!" Shane told them.
They ran and found themselves face to face with Vexacus and Shimatzu.
"Thought I smelled garbage!" Hunter said in disgust.
"We'll see who gets trashed." Vexacus laughed.
"No offense, but you two don't seem like the outside types." Shane told them.
"We're not. We just came to watch your ultimate demise." Vexacus growled.
"Don't you mean cause our ultimate demise?" Tori wondered.
"Okay, I like your way better." Vexacus nodded, he blasted at them, but Lexi put up her Electric Force field.
"Oh man, just when you thought it was safe enough to have a day off." Shane grumbled; "Ready?"
"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"
"Thunder Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"
"Elemental Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"
"Ninja Ranger Power!"
"Elemental Power- Electricity!"
The three Wind Rangers went after Vexacus with their swords, but he just knocked them away.
Dustin tried to slash him but Vexacus caught the sword; "Your sword cannot hurt me boy." He pushed Dustin back to the other two.
"C'mon guys, put them together!" Shane instructed. They combined their three weapons; "Storm Striker!"
"Strike this!" Vexacus yelled, he blasted at them all and they dropped the weapon; "You like spaghetti?" He used a type of shocking strings to lift them up and into the air, pushing them into each other.
"That's it!" Lexi grumbled. She took out her metal rod which started pulsing with Electricity and slashed at Vexacus, bringing him down, but Shimatzu came from out of nowhere and she started fighting him as well. She was pushed away so Blake and Hunter had a chance.
Blake put his antlers around Shimatzu's waist to shock him.
"Not this time!" Shimatzu smiled wickedly, pushing him down.
"Thunder Staff! Tornado Star!" Hunter called. He threw the weapon at Shimatzu who got hit, but laughed and faded away.
"Where'd he go?" Blake asked; "Huh?"
Lexi tumbled over to them as a Shimatzu's giant head appeared; "I'm so close to victory I can taste it!"
The three Rangers found themselves on the floor. Hunter looked around in disbelief; "We're getting licked?"
"It seems you have met your match!" Shimatzu growled.
"Sure we did!" Lexi snapped; "Elemental Power- Fire!" She turned back into a Fire Ranger and she lunged for them, her Flame Staff weilded in her hands. She slashed at them; "Never... hurt... my... friends!"
Vexacus grabbed Lexi by the wrist and threw her over at the others; "You are finished Rangers!" Just then he and Shimatzu were blasted and they all turned to see Cam had joined the party.
"Cam! Great!" Tori smiled.
"I picked up something on the radar, it's heading this way." Cam told them.
Shane ran up to him; "What? Worse than these two superfreaks?"
"Yeah, way worse." Cam nodded.
"Hey, Rangers! Nobody's worse than we are!" Vexacus grumbled.
"I would have to agree!" Shimatzu grinned wickedly.
"No one messes up my Weekend!" Hunter shouted. They formed the Thunderstorm Cannon and added Lexi's Elemental blaster to it. They blasted the energy, but Vexacus and Shimatzu caught it, throwing it back. Lexi jumped in front of the others, catching most of the impact.
"Guys!" Cam yelled, running to their side; "Lex, you alright?"
"This was too easy!" Shimatzu exclaimed. Just then the ground started shaking, and Zurgane's new zord popped up.
"Prepare to be destroyed!" he growled.
"It's Zurgane!" Cam announced.
"I can... see that." Lexi said, gasping through the pain.
"Not again!" Shane groaned.
"Fight me, if you dare!" Zurgane hissed.
"Haven't you had enough failure for one day?" Shimatzu called out.
"You're on Zurgane!" Shane said as they got to their feet. Lexi was the last to stand, but the first to jump into her Monkeyzord. They formed four Megazords.
"I'm waiting." Zurgane said through clenched teeth.
"The last time someone said something like that it was a... trap." Lexi realized; "Guys! No wait, it's a trap."
"What're you saying Lex?" Shane snorted; "Just attack him."
"We haven't used this one in a while!" Tori realized; "Locked, and dropped!"
"Perfect... downloading Power Data now!" Zurgane mumbled.
"Star Blazer!" The Wind Ninjas called.
"That got him!" Tori nodded.
Then it was the Thunder Ranger's turn. Hunter held out a Power dish; "This one's mine! Locked, and dropped!"
"Excellent!" Zurgane said, downloading the Power Data from that as well; "Yes, just a bit more!"
"Sting Blaster!" The Thunders called. Zurgane blocked the hit. And then it was Cam's turn.
"I got one for ya! Locked and dropped." Cam grinned.
"Fools!" Zurgane cackled.
Cam threw the bee at Zurgane, but he knocked it back, and finally it was Lexi's turn.
"You want my Powers right Zurgane?" Lexi asked; "Here, take it. Locked, and dropped."
"Ah, its so close I can feel it!" Zurgane said as a staff came out of Lexi's Power Sphere. He downloaded that Power Data as well, when Lexi slashed at him using her Fire Power. The four Megazords stood side by side; "Now it's my turn!" He blasted at the Megazords, knocking the four down.
"Hmm, interesting turn of events." Vexacus thought to himself.
"My victory is at hand!" Zurgane laughed.
Zurgane approached the four fallen Megazords and Vexacus laughed from the ground.
"I thought you said we were going to get the credit! All I see is The Ranger's Zords on the ground and Zurgane ready to take a bow!" Shimatzu hissed.
"You worry too much! Relax, if Zurgane takes a bow it'll be his final one!" Vexacus reassured him.
"I hope so, for our sake!" Shimatzu snarled.
Zurgane tried to stab the Wind Megazord, but was stopped by Cam in his own Lightning Mode; "What?"
"Woah! Where'd you get that mode Cam?" Shane asked.
"I'm the one in charge of Upgrades remember?" Cam laughed.
"Not my upgrades!" Lexi grinned; "Clone attack!" Many little Monkeyzords popped up and ran to attack Zurgane, pushing him back further; "Thats how you do things in my town."
"Pretty sweet!" Shane nodded to Lexi, but they didn't notice Zurgane was back and about to attack Lexi, but was intercepted by the Thunder Megazord.
"Thanks guys!" Lexi nodded to them.
"You guys ready to finish this?" Hunter asked them.
"Lets do it!" Shane grinned widely.
"Locked, and dropped!" Shane, Hunter, Cam, and Lexi said at once.
"I'll take that Power!" Zurgane hissed as they formed the Hurricane Megazord. He finally finished collecting Data; "Yes! I got what I came for!" He cackled, letting his Zord be destroyed.
"He's up to something." Lexi noted.
"I feel it too, Zurgane's smarter than that." Cam nodded.
"But we trashed his Zord." Hunter smirked.
"Even if he got out he's got nothing." Dustin agreed with Hunter.
"It just doesn't feel right, it was too easy." Cam said.
"You call that easy?" Blake asked in disbelief.
"Go back to your Campsite, I have to check something at Ninja Ops." Cam told them.
"I'll go with you, I'm over the whole camping thing." Tori volunteered herself.
"I'll stay with the guys and keep them safe." Lexi said.
"Keep us safe?" Dustin laughed.
"What, so you're gonna protect each other and put up sheilds and force fields so that no one from the outside can hurt you?" Lexi shot.
"Fine." Dustin sighed.
"Let us know if you find something out." Shane told Cam.
"I will, keep your eyes open out there." Cam said; "Especially you Lex."
"Si." Lexi nodded.
"Don't worry." Shane reassured him.
"Mission accomplished sir!" Zurgane announced.
"So you're telling me that on this disk is a cloned program of all the Ranger's Zord Powers." Lothor wondered, waving the C.D in the air.
"Yes sir, that's exactly what I'm telling you." Zurgane nodded.
"That's brilliant. I didn't know you had it in you." Lothor beamed.
"Thank you sir." Zurgane said, reaching for the C.D.
"The only question now is what're you gonna do with it?" Lothor asked.
"An excellent question! I'm preparing a weapon so powerful that the Rangers will soon be a distant footnote in the Earth's history." Zurgane answered.
"Good! That's what I like to hear! Carry on Zurgane, you always were my favorite General." Lothor told him.
"Thank you sir!" Zurgane bowed.
"Did you hear that?" Shimatzu muttered; "He always was his best General?"
"I heard, I heard." Vexacus said.
"Is this how your brilliant plan is supposed to go? I thought the Rangers would get tired and Zurgane would be destroyed!" Shimatzu spat.
"Zurgane is trying to take out the Rangers single handedly. He's in way over his head." Vexacus told him; "This is exactly where we want to be."
"You believe Zurgane would fail?" Shimatzu asked.
"Of course he will! History's on our side there!" Vexacus snapped; "He's failed every mission he's ever attempted."
"So have we." Shimatzu reminded him.
"Details details." Vexacus rolled his eyes.
"But his new weapon is impressive. What if he suceeds?" Shimatzu dared.
"He won't. Stand by, we need to be ready when he is destroyed! And then I will take my place as leader of Lothor's Army!" Vexacus said.
"You mean WE will take OUR places." Shimatzu corrected him.
"Oh, yes, of course!" Vexacus nodded. Kapri and Marah fell to the floor; "What have we here?"
"You girls were spying, weren't you?" Shimatzu hissed.
"No we weren't." Marah lied.
"No, we were just um... polishing the floor." Kapri told them.
"Yeah, with our ears!" Marah added.
"I hope that is true because I'm not very fond of spies." Vexacus snarled, ready to blast them.
"No no! Look we're cleaning!" Marah panicked. She and Kapri went back to 'cleaning the floor'.
"Silly fools." Vexacus said to Shimatzu.
"Just go." Shimatzu ushered, and the two left Kapri and Marah.
Zurgane stood in front of a new Zord; "Now for the final phaze! My new Hyper Zurgane Zord!" He got in the Zord; "Thanks to the Ranger's Powers you will soon come to life! Together we will be unstoppable!"
"Just doesn't seem logical." Cam said.
"Cam, sometimes one must turn away from a problem in order to find the solution." Sensei told him.
"Dad, I've turned every way I know how! I'm not even sure there is a problem, I just know something isn't right.
"Man, I don't know if I can sit out here and have a good time after all this stuff." Hunter sighed; "I just need to chill out for a while."
"This is what I call chilling." Lexi said, spinning through the dirt road; "Being out in a forest where everything around me are trees and streams."
"Stop spinning you're giving me a headache." Shane frowned, and so she did.
"I for one need to fill my grill. Cheeseburgers here I come." Dustin grinned happily.
"You're not serious are you?" Lexi frowned; "It's been hours. All your burgers are either burnt or eaten by a bear."
"Man pickles, someone tell me we brought pickles." Blake said; "I can't eat Cheeseburgers without pickles."
"Chill bro, I brought them." Shane reassured him; "We're seconds away from a meal fit for a king!" They found that their campsite was completely trashed.
"I don't believe this." Blake exclaimed. He walked to the grill and all the burgers were gone; "This cannot be happening!"
"Bear attack, I was right." Lexi smiled; "Told you."
"This whole nature thing is for the birds." Dustin sighed; "I say we bag it, and go find some greasy fast food."
"Yeah sure, lets all take your car." Shane told Dustin.
"Dude you know I don't have a car." Dustin said. Shane walked away; "Alright I getcha."
"We're stuck, stranded, grounded." Hunter panicked.
"And you say it like it's a bad thing to be out here in the forest!" Lexi pouted.
"This whole trip is turning out to be one bad idea." Blake smirked.
"Oh come on guys, we're Ninjas! Trained to use whats around us?" Shane lectured them; "Haven't you heard the saying 'When life gives you lemons you make lemonade'."
"Well, I didn't see any lemon trees out here and between you and me Lemonade isn't gonna cut it for me right now." Dustin frowned.
"It's a saying." Shane explained, tossing Dustin a bucket; "Let's see what does grow around here. Spread out, and no body comes out without any food, you too Lex. You wanted to stay, you do your part."
"Wait." She stopped them; "Do you have salt, pepper, a knife, and a fishing pole?"
Shane handed her whatever he could find and they split up, Lexi walking to the stream; "Time to catch me some fish!"
"What did you find?" Tori asked Cam.
"I'm getting a weird Energy reading. I think Zurgane used some sort of Power Replicator on us." Cam answered.
"What does that mean?" Tori wondered.
"Means we're in trouble." Cam sighed. He signaled in the other Rangers; "Sorry to tell you this but we've got another Emergency on our hands."
"I hear you Cam." Shane said.
"With you bro." Blake said.
"On my way!" Hunter told them.
"Right beind you dude!" Dustin nodded.
"Squirrels." Lexi said.
Cam turned to Tori; "We gotta ask her why she keeps saying squirrels. You ready?"
"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"
"Samurai Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"
"Ranger Storm Power!"
"Whats the deal?" Shane asked.
"I'm back and you're through." Zurgane hissed.
"Zurgane! I knew it!" Cam shouted.
"So it was a trap!" Lexi realized; "Careful, he knows our powers and can use them against us."
"Lets take him out before he does." Shane nodded to her. They ran forward and slashed at the new Zord without even making a dent.
"What's the matter Rangers? You aren't surprised are you?" Zurgane asked. He blasted a rocket arm at them, but they jumped to the sky and slashed his chest.
"I have another surprise for you!" Zurgane hisssed, he put his own type of Power disk in its slot; "Locked, and dropped!"
"No way!" Tori exclaimed.
"It's a power sphere!" Shane gaped.
"What a poser!" Dustin said.
"I knew it." Cam said.
"This is brutal!" Hunter thought out loud.
"Totally brutal!" Blake agreed.
"Pssh, you are so unoriginal." Lexi snorted.
"That's right, a Power sphere cloned from your own technology. Its your move!" Zurgane hissed.
"You can't use our Powers against us!" Shane snapped.
"Huh, we'll just see about that!" Zurgane scoffed. He got a weapon from the sphere; "Maximum Power!"
The Megazord used a sheild, but Zurgane broke through. Lexi glared at the others; "Whos idea was it to use that dumb sheild?" Zurgane slashed at the Megazords, knocking it down.
"We're hit! Ugh, we're down!" Shane said.
"Clone attack!" Lexi yelled. Many little Monkeyzords ran and slashed at Zurgane with their tails, actually doing some damage, keeping him away while the Megazord stayed down.
"Is everybody alright?" Tori asked them.
"Now for the final strike!" Zurgne hissed, ready to finish them. He brought his weapon down.
Suddenly, an Electric force field popped up protecting the Megazord, and just to keep the Hurricane Megazord safe, Lexi added a Flame wall underneath.
"Good save Lex!" Cam smiled. Putting up the sheild and the wall at the same time took too much energy however, and Lexi passed out, taking down the Flame wall but keeping up the Electric Force field; "Mammoth Zord, online!" The Mammoth Zord came from behind and pelted Zurgane with a Power sphere, distracting him long enough for the Hurricane Megazord to kick him away and then get back up to its feet, knocking out the Electric Force field as well.
"Never send an Elephant to do an alien's job!" Zurgane roared, blasting at the Mammoth Zord.
Noticing that the Mammoth Zord stopped moving, Cam panicked; "He's imobilized him!"
"Let's put a new spin on this thing!" Shane called, and the propeller on the front of the Megazord started spinning rapidly.
"Sorry, not this time, batter up!" Zurgane scowled, canceling their attack with his own one.
"Rangers, come to Ninja Ops at once! Use the Ninja Firebird to cloak your retreat!"
"Oh man!" Shane said disappointed; "On our way Sensei!" The Ninja Firebird swooped in and both the Hurricane Megazord and the Mammoth zord disappeared.
"Go ahead and retreat, as long as I have this, no one can stop me." Zurgane growled, using a Powersphere; "Activating Hypersword! Come get me! Or have you finally given up?"
"He's using our powers to attack the city!" Shane noted.
"We've gotta get back out there." Hunter said.
"I need more time. Only the Elemental Megazord is ready to battle and Lexi's out cold." Cam shook his head.
"No, I can go." Lexi said, struggling to her feet; "My Megazord is still up, I can do it."
"No, you can't. You hardly have any Energy Lex." Cam stopped her; "You have to stay and rest."
"How're we going to fight that thing without the Zords?" Tori asked.
"Think Rangers, What other resources are at your disposal?" Sensei asked.
"What about the Gliders?" Dustin asked.
"And the Tsunami Cycles." Blake added.
"Excellent thinking. Individually your weapons would be overpowered. But together your resources will be significant." Sensei nodded.
"Alright, follow my lead guys. Maybe we can draw him out of that thing." Shane told them; "Lexi, stay here and rest."
"The world is in danger, I rest when Zurgane's destroyed." Lexi said, streaking out, disobeying orders.
"Right behind you." Tori agreed.
"I'll bring the Zords when they're repaired." Cam said; "Good luck, and watch Lexi."
Shane, Tori, and Dustinused their gliders to fly over to Zurgane's Zord, with Hunter, Blake, and Lexi on their Tsunami Cycles.
"Hey Zurgane! You gonna hide in that thing all day?" Shane asked.
"Come out and fight us!" Tori shouted.
"Or are you too scared?" Hunter teased. They attacked the Zords using their gliders and Tsunami Cycles.
"Look! No zords!" Dustin exclaimed.
"Come and get us!" Tori told him.
"Enough of this foolishness!" Zurgane growled. He got out of the Zord and slashed the three Wind Rangers out of the sky. He stood in front of all six Rangers; "I'll fight you on my own!"
"Go time!" Shane yelled as they split seperate ways.
The Thunder Rangers started slashing at Zurgane, but was sent to the ground. The Wind Rangers retaliated by blasting at Zurgane with their lasers, but he hit them with his own Energy, knocking them down too. Finally it was Lexi's turn. She used her Flame staff and ran forward to take him down, but he took her staff and threw it to the side, punching her in the gut and she flew back.
They took out their swords and tried taking him down that way, but Zurgane still was able to knock them all back down.
"Storm Striker! Ready? FIRE!" Dustin yelled. A one hundred ton weight fell out of the sky, but Zurgane chopped it in half; "What?"
"No way!" Hunter said in disbelief.
"There's more!" Zurgane cackled. He threw his swords up in the air and blasted at them, knocking them backwards.
"Cam, we're running out of options." Shane said into his morpher.
"No you aren't." Lexi said, getting to her feet. Her hands started flaming and pulsing with Electricity, and she charged at Zurgane. She was doing well at first, but he grabbed her around the neck, and pushed her away, knocking her into a wall.
"I'm on my way and I'm bringing some backup!"
"Yeah right!" Shane smiled. Lexi, determined to win this fight got to her feet and walked over to the other Rangers.
"If thats the way you want it, to the zord!" Zurgane howled, getting back in his Zord; "I'm back on the saddle and I'm ready to ride!"
"It's on now!" Shane snapped as they got into their zords as well, forming three Megazords.
Zurgane threw a rocket fist at them, landing most of the impact on the Thunder Megazord. Cam stopped him from making another attack by blasting him with lasers.
"Time to call out the Hurricane!" Shane said.
"You got it!" Hunter nodded.
"Yeah!" Cam agreed.
"If you say so." Lexi shrugged; "Locked, and dropped."
"Give it your best shot!" Zurgane growled.
"Charge!" Shane ordered, and as they fought Zurgane had the temporary advantage; "Full Power!" They slashed at him, but the Zord vanished and came up behind them.
Zurgane slashed at the Megazord, making sparks fly; "It's over for you!"
"Not even close!" Cam shouted; "Mammoth Zord, let's rock!"
Zurgane blasted at the Mammoth Zord, but Lexi put up a Force Feild around ti, and it didn't get hit; "You didn't think I'd let you do that again did you?"
"Give up!" Zurgane growled.
"Never!" Shane shouted. They bumped the top of the Mammoth Zord's head and out came a bunch of Powerspheres they've used over time.
"Huh?" Zurgane asked, taking a step back.
"Ready!" they all said; "Fire!"
All the weapons from the Powespheres attacked at once, and the Zord blew up.
"Yeah! We rock!" Shane exclaimed. He then turned to Lexi; "Good job Lex, you really pulled through for us today!"
"You knows it." Lexi laughed. (And yes, I can see I wrote knows... thats how I say it though, you knows it!)
"Here we are!" Tori sighed as they reached the Campsite; "I can't believe these guys still wanted to go camping after all this. I just wanna go to sleep."
"Me too. I just didn't want them thinking I was... well... lame." Cam agreed.
"Me too." Tori said, but when they entered the campsite they found the guys sleeping in chairs and Lexi sleeping in a branch up in a tree.
"I bet Zurgane's in worse shape than them." Cam said.
"No doubt." Tori agreed.
Lexi must have sensed them coming; "Who's there?" She fell out of her tree and landed on the ground with a thud.
The guys woke up and closed their eyes again... all but Hunter. He helped Lexi to her feet and once they saw Cam and Tori, they sunk back to the ground, and they fell asleep, Lexi in Hunter's arms.
