Here's the next chapter!


"We have to hurry before that blasted pink ranger finds us," yelled Lothor.

"What are we even looking for?" asked Marah.

"Don't worry about it!"

Marah and Kapri looked at each other and shrugged. They continued digging until they saw a large crack in the earth that they did not do.

"Oh...Uncle?" said Kapri, with a smug grin on her face.

"What!"

"Look what I found."

"I found it,' protested Marah.

"No, I did!"

"Well, I have the shovel."

"So? I have one, too." Kapri held hers up. Marah made a face at her and threw her own shovel down.

"SHUT UP!" Lothor and his generals shoved everyone out of the way. "Yes, this is it...good work, Pari."

"And Marah!" Marah made another face at Kapri, who smiled and blew on her fingertips.

Lothor waved a hand in dismissal. "The power source is in here. When I find it, it will take all of the powers away from that damn pink ranger."

"But, Uncle, I thought you wanted her to be powerful."

"NOT MORE THAN ME!"

Marah and Kapri looked at each other and shrugged. "But won't it turn her good again?"

Lothor looked at them in disgust. He looked around at his generals and waved one forward. "Choobo! Get down there and destroy the power source!"

Choobo looked down at the pit. He made a whimpering sound as he slowly took a step forward. Flames spit up from the opening and he jumped backward, knocking Kapri over. "Me?"

"YES! GO!" Lothor raised a leg and aimed it at Choobo, but a familiar dark and heavy laughter filled the air.

Everyone looked around in fear. Some of the generals clutched their shovels more tightly and grouped closer together. The laugher sounded as if it was coming from everywhere around them. Kapri jumped up and she and Marah clutched each other. Lothor's eyes widened.

"Pink ranger!" he said, menacingly. His voice did not share the same fear that was written on his face. "GET OUT AND SHOW YOUR FACE!"

Kim laughed again. Everyone jumped away from the direction of the voice. "I've been looking for you, Lothor," she said, floating out of the wooded area.

"She can fly!" Kapri and Marah said in unison.

Lothor pounded his chest. "Well, you found me, pink ranger!"

"Yeah. I did, didn't I?" She eyed him as she floated down. Then she violently threw a red electric spark at his chest. Lothor yelled out in pain and fell to ground, on all fours.

Kapri and Marah looked at each other in fear. They both dropped to the ground and began crawling away.


"There she is!" yelled Shane. He and the others ninja-ran to the Abyss of Evil.

"Oh great," Kim said, seeing the rangers. "Teenagers." She rolled her eyes and turned around to face them. "And what can I do for you." The red sparks intensified in her hands.

"Yes!" yelled Lothor. He raised a fist in triumph from the ground, still clutching his chest. "The Power Rangers will defeat you!"

Dustin looked at Lothor in confusion as Kim directed another electric spark toward him. "Shut it, you!"

"We want our morphers back!" yelled Tori, defiantly. She stamped her foot.

"KIMBERLY!"

Kim casually glanced over her shoulder and saw Tommy and Adam. She rolled her eyes again and dropped her hands. "Great. More for the party. Should I be expecting more?"

"Yeah," a new voice said. "Us!"

Kim looked in the direction of the new, unrecognizable voice and again, rolled her eyes. "You know, this was not an open invitation party. I don't really like party-crashers." She spun in a circle with the red sparks emitting from her hands again. The rangers dodged the sparks and all of them dropped to the ground.

"What do we do?" asked Blake. "You guys need to get your morphers."

"You guys have to morph!" demanded Shane. "Just because we don't have ours doesn't mean you can't use yours."

"What? No!"

"Yeah," agreed Hunter. "All or nothing, right?"

Shane shook his head. "I don't agree with this."

"We're a team. We're gonna fight like a team, with or without morphers."

Shane pursed his lips and nodded. "All right. Let's do this." He and the rest of the rangers faced Lothor and his generals. They all took up a fighting stance. "Aim for the Kelzacks and the generals first. Then we'll get Lothor."

"Unless the pink ranger gets to him first."

"Leave the pink ranger to Tommy and Adam." Shane looked around. "Ready, everyone?" They all nodded. "Let's go, guys." Shane, Tori, Hunter, Blake, and Dustin squared up and ran out. They began fighting the Kelzacks and even took out a couple of Lothor's generals at the same time, shoving them into the Abyss of Evil.

Kim, on the other hand, was hoping to get a piece of the Ninja Storm rangers, but was preoccupied by the lightning fast moves of the space rangers.

Tommy and Adam were carefully discussing strategy. They could care less about Lothor; the only thing on their minds was Kim and how they could get to her. Adam glanced around. The Ninja Storm rangers seemed to be handling Lothor's generals and the Kelzacks all right. It looked like they were down to three or four generals and about a handful of Kelzacks.

"Not bad for no morphers," Adam thought wryly. He noticed that all of them were not morphed even though Blake, Hunter, Dustin, and Cam had full use of their morphers. Adam saw Lothor creep up behind Hunter and tackled him to the ground. Hunter reached out for his morpher, but it bounced away at the force Lothor used on him. Adam tore his gaze away, wanting to help, but knew that he and Tommy were there for a different purpose.

Kimberly gave a loud, terrible yell and the space rangers were all thrown back. Kim snarled and levitated towards the ninja rangers. Lothor looked up at Kim and grabbed Hunter, using him as a shield, cowering behind the crimson ranger.

"TAKE HIM!" Lothor yelled.

Hunter stared at his abandoned morpher helplessly. It was lying just two feet away from him, but he was in no position to retrieve it. He saw Dustin's morpher lying close to him, but it was still moving. Dustin was crawling after it.

"Noo!" Dustin thought. He was lying on his stomach, trying to reach his morpher. The pain in his abdomen returned and with every move, Dustin felt as if a knife was stabbing him again. He touched the morpher with his fingertips and crawled after it in a hurry. He winced as he continued to feel pain. The morpher was nearly in his hands, but the sweat from his hands forced it to slip out of his reach. "Oh, come on!" he yelled in exasperation. He took a swipe at the morpher and it slipped out of his reach into the Abyss of Evil. "NOOO!" he yelled.

Everything moved in slow motion. The morpher falling into the Abyss of Evil. Tori, Shane, Blake forcing three of the generals into the Abyss. The last general tearing at the green Samurai amulet around Cam's neck and his subsequent falling into the Abyss after his gleeful yell of triumph. Hunter reaching behind him and kicking Lothor far from him.

"STOOOOOOOOOOOP!"

The authority and fire in Kim's voice forced everyone to stop. The Ninja Storm rangers moved next to each other and Tori gave Dustin a tight hug. Hunter eyed his nearby morpher and Shane put a hand on his shoulder.

"It doesn't matter now," he whispered in defeat.

Andros, TJ, Zhane, Ashley, and Carlos ran and moved next to the Ninja rangers. They demorphed and all of them slowly spread out into a large circle, surrounding Kim, Lothor, and the Abyss of Evil.

"You," she simply said. Everyone glanced at each other in fear, wondering who she was pointing to. Kim started waving her finger and Lothor was unwillingly raised into the air.

He curled into a fetal position, in spite of his position in the middle of the air. He whimpered, afraid at what was to come. Tori watched him, feeling a little sorry for him. She didn't want to watch, but she couldn't tear her eyes away.

"Yes. You," Kim said again.

"Pink ranger," whimpered Lothor. "P..p...please..."

"Please?" Kim mocked. She laughed loudly. "I don't think so."

In a flash, Lothor was spread-eagled in the air, screaming the most terrible things they have ever heard. Kim was torturing him slowly and they couldn't do anything about it.

The rangers stood by, watching for the next fifteen to twenty minutes, helpless and unsure of what they could do. On one hand, they wanted Kim and Lothor to destroy each other, but on the other, neither Kim nor Lothor deserved to go out like that. Blake and Hunter looked at each other, trying to formulate a plan with their eyes.

"NOW!" Blake yelled. He and Hunter threw their morphers high in the air and Kim, excited at the sight of two more ninja morphers let go of her hold on Lothor.

He screamed as he fell. Though he was quickly falling, he looked around, at everything in slow motion. He knew his impending doom was to come. There was no fighting it and no way he could get around it. When he would reach the ground, he knew that he would land in the Abyss of Evil. And that it would destroy him alive.

Lothor looked around, trying to appreciate everything that he so long hated. The smell of the air, the bright green of the trees, the wind that crashed around him. He looked around and settled his final gaze on Cam. This was his nephew, the son of his brother. A brother that he had so long hated and despised.

Cam watched as the uncle he never knew was falling to his death. He learned of the history between his father and his twin brother when he travelled back in time and retrieved the Samurai amulet. He was taken aback at the look that Lothor was giving him. He saw a mixture of defiance and something else in his eyes. Was it regret? Did Lothor really regret what he has done? All the evil that he spread around?

As Lothor continued to gaze at Cam, Cam understood. He didn't regret any of it. What he regretted was the distance between him and his brother. Lothor didn't regret his choices nor did he regret his quest for power. But he wanted his brother.

Cam nodded at Lothor.

This simple gesture seemed to bring peace to Lothor. He closed his eyes, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and let the fire engulf him.
