Here's the new chapter! Thank you all so much for the reviews!


Cam carefully stood up and leaned against the wall of his prison. Pain exploded in his body and he shut his eyes, trying to ignore it. He bit his lip and continued to lean, waiting for the bulk of the pain to pass. He limped over to the gate and leaned on it, putting all his weight onto it.

The gate squeaked open and Cam fell out. He reached out and grabbed the bars before falling to the ground again and held them tightly to lift himself up.

"Jason must've left it open accidentally," Cam said out loud. He furrowed his brow. "Unless...unless he didn't. I don't trust the guy."

He tiptoed as silently as he could and held his breath whenever he heard a whisper or approached an opening. "Where is everybody?" Cam quietly entered Lothor's lair and was a little surprised to find that it was completely deserted. Barely even a trace that Lothor and his minions were there. "This is getting a little bit more weird..." Cam slowly paced up and down the room. "How do I get out of here?" He heard a loud noise and flinched at the sound. He quickly jumped behind Lothor's large chair and pressed himself tightly against it.

"Shh! Be careful. And be quiet!"

"It's kind of hard to when I haven't quite reached equilibrium yet. You know, getting stabbed does take a lot out of you. Besides, it kind of looks like we're the only ones here, dude."

Cam smiled to himself. He recognized these voices. He placed his hands around the edges of the chair and used it to prop himself up.

"It does seem a little quiet. A little too quiet. Be alert, though."

"Sure thing, dude!"

"You guys?" Cam said in a low voice. He coughed a bit, not used to expending his waning energy to yell across the room.

"Shh, did you hear that?"

"No, what was it?"

Cam saw Hunter hold up a finger to his lips and he and Dustin slowly and carefully entered the main room of Lothor's lair. He saw that they were both unmorphed, yet were both holding long ninja sticks, smart enough to not sneak into Lothor's lair weaponless. "It's me, guys," Cam breathed out.

"Cam?" asked Hunter, softly. "Where are you?"

"And where's everyone else?" asked Dustin in a louder voice. Hunter elbowed him and shot him a look. Dustin widened his eyes and mouthed an apology.

"I'm behind Lothor's chair...I need some help getting up..."

Hunter and Dustin immediately made a beeline towards Lothor's chair and the two of them gasped when they saw Cam face-to-face. "Cam...oh my gosh..." Cam's face was so beaten in that it was barely recognizable. His glasses seemed to be hanging on by a thread. Cam's clothes were torn and blood was drying up from the cuts and scrapes that were evident on his face and arms. Hunter was sure that there were more cuts and bruises on other places of his body. Cam could barely move, so Hunter leaned down and draped Cam's arm around his neck.

"You sure?" asked Cam, gesturing towards Hunter's hurt leg. It was still splinted up and Hunter walked around with a limp.

Hunter nodded. "Of course I'm sure." Dustin leaned over and draped Cam's other arm around his neck. "You good, Dustin?"

Dustin nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"How did you guys get here?" asked Cam.

"You should save your strength," answered Hunter. "And everyone's off fighting the last two psychos."

"Red and pink?" Cam looked around in a panic. "They're trying to get your guys' powers!"

"Calm down. They didn't want us to come since..." Hunter gestured to his leg and Dustin. "So we were able to get a lock on Lothor and noticed that he, along with the other generals and stuff, were no longer on his lair. Since red and pink are currently preoccupied with the others, we thought we would be able to come and save you. Zhane is still back at Ninja Ops with Cassie and Rocky and Aisha are there, too. Oh, and your dad's back."

Cam looked overwhelmed at the flood of information. "Wait, what?"

Hunter looked around warily. "I'd feel more comfortable explaining more back at Ninja Ops."

Cam nodded. "Of course."


"J-j-j...Jason..." Tommy stammered. He brought both of his hands up to try to pry Jason's hand off of his throat. He coughed, loudly.

Jason merely laughed. He flexed his arm again. "I am the most powerful!"

"Y-ye-yeah, you...you are."

Adam struggled to raise himself up, but after what seemed like hours, he got up. "Tommy!" he yelled. Jason and Tommy either didn't hear him or ignored him. He grabbed a rock and threw it at Jason. It bounced off of him like it was a foam ball and Jason didn't even even flinch. It looked like he didn't even feel it.

Adam scrunched his face up in concentration. If he was able to morph, surely he could use his old Ninjetti powers, too, right? Adam summoned all of his strength and stood up, painless. He steathily creeped toward Jason and threw a double kick to Jason's head, forcing Jason to let go of Tommy.

Tommy fell to the ground, coughing and holding onto his neck. He rolled over so that he was on all fours, coughing for air. "Oh my gosh," he thought. "I could have died..." He looked up and saw that Adam was fighting Jason. Jason didn't seem to be using any of his new powers that he received when he got that blow from Lothor, so it looked fairly even. But Tommy could tell that Adam was getting tired.

He fell back to the ground, still struggling to breathe. Once he stood up, he closed his eyes and silently called upon his power again. Tommy felt another wave of power surge through him and he grew stronger. "No, Jason!" he exclaimed. Tommy ran over and fought alongside Adam.

Kim laughed maniacally. Her eyes glowed red and as she floated above everyone, a faint pink glow circled around her. She continued to shoot fireballs and red sparks from her hands.

Tori watched the former pink ranger before her. She was peeking from behind a large rock and seemed to lose the other rangers around her. She knew they were close by because she could still hear them yelling. And she knew that they were still fighting. Tori felt a bit ashamed to be hiding behind the rock. She was a ranger, too, but at the moment, she was terrified out of her mind.

How were they going to beat Kim? They couldn't even get close enough to her to scratch her.

Whatever happens, she was going to do it alongside her fellow rangers. Tori took a deep breath and squared her shoulders before stepping out from behind the rock. As soon as she turned around, Kim shot a red spark that hit Tori square in the chest.

Tori immediately demorphed and fell to the ground. Kim laughed loudly as she descended upon her. Without kneeling to retrieve the morpher, Kim summoned it from Tori and clasped it to her arm. "Two down. One more ninja to go. Navy won't know what hit him." She laughed again as she held up her arm, proudly showing the red and blue morphers that belonged to Shane and Tori.

"Ashley!" yelled Andros. He motioned for her to come back. "Let's go." TJ nodded next to him, who had Shane's arm around his shoulders. Ashley looked between them and Kim. Kim was still laughing and holding her arm high above her. Ashley looked back at Andros in defeat. She motioned for his help in retrieving Tori and looked around for Blake. She couldn't find him.

"Leaving so soon, rangers?" Kim asked, mockingly. "We were just getting started."

Andros looked around and saw Tommy and Adam fighting Jason. Jason struck them both down in a single kick. "Tommy!" he yelled. "Let's go back."

Tommy shook his head as he swung himself up. "Not without them!"

"They're too strong! We have to go back!"

Tommy shook his head again. "NO!"

Andros looked back and saw Blake crawling towards Ashley and TJ. He was demorphed and Andros quickly searched him for his morpher. He saw it hanging off of Blake's hand and breathe a sigh of relief. He looked closely at Blake and felt his heart sink. Tears were steadily flowing down his face as he noticed Tori lying unconscious in front of Ashley. Kim was still attacking them TJ used his free hand to shoot his blaster at her. Andros turned and nodded at Tommy. "TJ! Head back. Now."

TJ nodded and in a swift movement, he, Ashley, Shane, Tori, and Blake disappeared. Andros stood with Tommy and Adam. Jason took a step back. He noticed that Kim had two of the morphers.

"KIMBERLY! GIVE THOSE TO ME!"

"NO!"

"GIVE IT, KIM!"

"I SAID NO!"

"KIMBERLY!" Jason groaned as he abandoned Tommy, Adam, and Andros. He directed a beam of electricity toward Kim, who deflected it with a wave of her hand.

"No, I don't think so," she said, calmly. She slowly walked toward Jason. "You think I don't know what you were trying to do?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Tommy, Adam, and Andros stood behind Jason, unsure of what to do. They kept looking between Jason and Kim.

"Of course you do. You know exactly what I am talking about, Jason Lee Scott." Kim bared her teeth menacingly. "You wanted me to do your dirty work while you stayed in the background. You wanted me out of the way so you could rule all. Well, Jason Lee Scott, you have just met your match."

Kim levitated herself high into the air and held her hands out in front of her. Red sparks erupted from her hands, stronger than anything Tommy, Adam, and Andros had ever seen.

"Goodbye Jason Lee Scott. It's been nice knowing you." Kim shot red sparks toward Jason, hitting square in the chest. She laced them with fireballs and strengthened the electric shocks.

Jason seemed to illuminate in the air before falling to the ground.

Kim looked at Andros, Tommy, and Adam. "I will be seeing you soon. Be sure of it."
