Desiree stared up at the ceiling of the room, she shared with her sister, tossing a softball up and catching it while thinking back the last few weeks, they had a few attacks from Lothor, Tori's birthday was almost ruined by Marah and Kapri, who wanted to host their own evil grade school reunion. She was lucky to be born in the fall, August 17th to be exacted, Aya was snoozing away on top of Sensai's environment, her second favorite place to perch, Shane reunited with an old friend from his childhood and was given a Battlizer, which caused Desiree to see Red for a while, because of her jealousy of both her boyfriend and her leader got new weapons, Hunter the got this really cool new motorcycle that has an aerial mode, she was brought out of her thoughts when Angel came running to the room.
Angel ran into the room and jump onto her twin, "Guess what!"
"Oaf," Desiree replied because all the air in her lungs came whooshing out, as Angel landed on her, she shoved the excited fifteen year old off of her, then panted to catch her breathe. "What do you want besides to kill me for Lothor?"
"Totally Talented!" Angel exclaimed, "We can go on and win!"
"No," Desiree answered, "That is a stupid show, its almost as bad as American Idol,"
Angelica pouted, and batted her eyelashes, "Please,"
"No,"
"Please,"
"No,"
"Please,"
"No,"
"Please,"
"No,"
"Please,"
"No,"
"Please,"
"No,"
"Please,"
Desiree stood up from laying on her bed, and pushed past her sister, she wanted out of the room, to leave and get away before she broke down and agreed to go on the stupid show,
~~~~Ninja Storm: Fire and ice~~~
Desiree and Angelica walked into Storm Chargers, and sat down on the couch next Shane, Tori and Dustin,
"Quite, here is comes," Shane hushed everyone, as the show title came on the tv, Totally Talented,
Desiree moaned as she was forced to watch the garbage, She looked over at her twin and Dustin as they hummed the theme music, the fire ninja wanted to smother them with a pillow. Shane and Tori joined in,
"I can't believe you're making watch this garbage," Desiree sighed, as she looked up at the tv.
"Hi there couch potatoes, Stu Starmaker here, and this is the place where dreams become reality " greeted the Tv host as he walked down the stairs. "Totally Talented,"
'Lothor, I'm begging send the Kelzaks, Marah, Kapri. Anyone!' Desiree begged in her mind. The host talked some more about how people could make it big, and Desiree gaged but then beamed when Kelly came over and turned off the Tv.
"Hey, what was that for?" Angel, Tori, Shane and Dustin asked
"You have to be kidding me, you don't watch this do you?" Kelly asked,
"I don't, Thank you so much Kelly for turning that crap off," Desiree replied
Kelly smiled at Desiree, then turned back to the others, "This is a Action sports shop, there will be no trash tv viewing here, Sorry."
Blake and Hunter walked over,
"Yo, what's up guys," Blake greeted, then looked at the turned off tv, "Where's Stu?"
"Denied," sighed Angel
"Oh well, I was sick of watching it anyway," Hunter replied, Desiree got up and leapt at him and hugged him, "Hunter, you are the best boyfriend in the word!"
"You didn't just bag on Stu?" Dustin asked.
Hunter wrapped one arm around Desiree, "I just said I was sick of watching it, but not being on it."
Desiree stared in horror as Hunter slapped Blake's hand,
"So what's the deal?" Shane asked.
Blake held up a flier with black and purple writing on it, "They're looking for future stars, that's us we try out next week"
"What do you guys do?" Dustin asked.
"We do plenty," Blake replied,
"Yeah, but who would want to watch it," Shane teased,
"You know Shane, you have a great voice. You should try out." Tori suggested,
Shane looked over and playfully slapped Tori's knee, "What about you,Tori; you're a fierce dancer,"
"and what about me, Sax master extraordinaire," Dustin stated
"Yo, yo, Hold up a sec," Blake interrupted, "you're cutting into our action here,"
Tori stood up, "I got to go practice, there's a dance class at seven,"
"Yo wait up, can i get a lift," Shane stated following Tori out of the shop,
Dustin stood up, "Hey, Kelly, can i use the back room to practice my sax?" he too left
"Oh man, this is just wrong," Hunter stated, as he and blake sat down on the couch,
"I don't believe it," Blake agreed, he looked at Hunter, "I told you, we should have kept it on the DL,"
Desiree felt Angel's eyes on the back of her head, she turned and saw her sister looking at her with puppy dog eyes, "We promise to help Cam; remember," Desiree stated buying time.
~~~Ninja Ops~~~
Desiree, Angel, and Cam walked in, .
"Okay dad, We managed to realign the dish for the new satellite," Cam stated "Anything else, you need us to do?"
Sensai cleared his throat and pushed a piece of paper with his walking stick,
"What's this?" Cam asked as he picked it up, "The Museum of Asian history?"
"Yes, Cameron, the museum has unearthed a rather valuable artifact, I have arranged to kept it here," Sensai explained,
"Can it wait til tomorrow?" Cam asked,
"We must retrieve the artifact immediately, before Lothor attempts to claim it as his own," Sensai answered,
"We'll go with you Cam," Desiree volunteered
The following week after the weekend; the three rangers walked with the curator in the store room of the museum.
"I know its' here somewhere," the curator informed, "Let me see, ah, here it is," the curator stopped int front of a rectangle shaped wooden crate,
"You know what's in it?" Desiree asked as she, Cam, and Angelica, who was for once not bugging her twin about the talent show,
The curator looked over at all three of them, "I was hoping you would tell me,"
"Only one way to find out," Cam stated to the twins, as he lifted the crate and put in on a table, the rangers inspected the crate looking for some signs to tell them what could be in there, until they glanced up startled by the sound of something crashing,
The three turned around and saw Marah and Kapri standing there, with sheepish expressions,
"Well let me guess, field trip?" Cam asked,
Angelica looked over at her twin, "i didn't know evil space ninjas went on field trips,"
"Only those who were held back multiple times," Desiree replied
"No, show off," Kapri replied,
"No, that was so last week," Marah added, suddenly motodrone stepped in front of them,
"Perry?" Desiree asked,
"is that you?" Cam finished confused.
"I have no used for Perry, I was brought to life by the great and powerful Lothor," Motodrone explained,
"Well, that's really nice for you, but we have to go," Cam stated then the three turned around,
"Not before you hand that over," Motodrone responded,
Cam had his hands on the crate, then turned around again, "If you want it, come and get it."
Motodrone ripped off his cloak, as Cam, Desiree, Angelica ripped off their civilian clothes and were in their training gear
Cam and Motodrone went one on one, while Desiree and Angelica just took a step toward Marah and Kapri, who ran off.
"Cam!" Angelica shouted as her boyfriend was getting thrashed by Motodrone,
Desiree just shoved her twin, "Get over there and help!, I'll protect the crate."
Motodrone leapt at the crate, but Desiree was slightly faster, she grab it and spun out of the way, and motodrone crashed on the table causing an explosion. The rangers ran out the back.
~~~Ninja Ops~~~
Cam, Angelica, and Desiree who was still carrying the crate walked into a practice session, Shane was singing, Tori was dancing, and Dustin was playing his saxophone.
"Hey, its the kids from Fame," Cam stated as he looked around,
Desiree shook her head as she set the box on the table,
"Please tell me this isn't part of their ninja training, Dad?" Cam asked, but Sensai was reclining in a guinea pig size chair with headphones on. "Dad? Hello? Dad!"
Sensai fell out of his chair then looked at everyone.
"What is going on around here?" Cam asked as he turned back to the others who finally stopped practicing.
"We're going to be on Totally Talented," Dustin answered.
"Don't you have to have..forget it," Cam stated
"Awe, someone green with envy?" Shane asked
"No, Just Green." Cam replied, "Look you guys aren't the only ones with hidden talent,"
"Cool, so what do you do?" Tori asked
"If I showed you, it wouldn't be hidden," Cam replied, "Dad, we got it,"
"Got what?" Shane asked
"I don't know," Cam replied.
"Can we open it?" Angelica asked
"Only in case of an emergency, what is in that container is far to powerful to be used otherwise," Sensai explained.
The Rangers looked at the crate.
~~~Storm Chargers~~~~
Dustin wa cleaning his saxophone, Angelica was going over lyric sheets while still trying to get Desiree to agree,
"Fine! I will do the stupid Talent Show with you, stop bugging me already!" exclaimed Desiree outloud,
"Yay! I sign us up two weeks ago," squealed Angelica the she scooted over and proceed to show Desiree all the sheet music she had acquired.
"And the strange wolf like creatures, have been seen in the forest outside Blue Bay Harbor, until the authorities can be sure that the area is safe, Citizens are advised to stay close to the city" TheAnchorwoman reported,
Tori walked over "Did they say anything about..."
"Big wolf looking things?" Dustin asked. "Weird huh, wonder what would of happened?"
"You think maybe the Power Rangers should check it out?" Tori asked,
Desiree and Angelica were already on their feet, Dustin was to slow to understand the hint.
"Oh yeah, right." Dustin finally got it and put aside his sax.
~~Ninja Storm: Fire and Ice~~~
The six rangers were in the mobile command center,
"Any sign of them from the surveillance, Cam?" Shane asked,
"I don't see anything, but that doesn't mean that isn't anything out there," Cam answered
"I vote we do a little patrolling," Shane stated
"Where are the Thunders?" Cam asked
"Totally Secret Talent show practice," Desiree answered,
"Not them too," Cam sighed. "Wait, I'm picking something up, there."
the screen pinpointed a wolfblade.
"we can't be to far away," Cam stated, the six of them walked in straight line,
"Okay they're right behind us," Shane stated.
"You sure about that?" Dustin asked.
The Rangers grouped together as the three wolfblades ran up.
"Looks like its time for some obeisance training," Shane stated.
"Lead the way," Tori replied,
"Ready?" Shane asked.
"Ready!" the others replied.
"Ninja Storm,"
"Ice Storm,"
"Fire Storm,"
"Samurai Storm,"
"Ranger Form!"
"Ninja Ranger Power!"
Shane, Dustin, Tori took on one of the wolfblades while Angelica and Desiree took on the second and Cam took on the last. But they were to strong, and the Rangers were backed into a corner, and the three wolfblades streaked at them slashing them with their claws,
The rangers were backing up in a defensive stance,
"Alright, I'm taking suggestions," Shane stated
"Rolled up, Newspaper?" Dustin asked.
"How about one of those electric collars," Tori suggested.
Suddenly a blast shot at the wolfblades,
"Down boy," Hunter stated
"Bad dog," Blake finished.
"Hunter!" Desiree called out
"Blake!" Tori greeted the other thunder.
As the Thunder Rangers go into a fighting stance, the wolfblades retreated,
"Maybe they're afraid of Thunder?" Cam asked.
~~~Ninja Storm~~~
The rangers were in Ninja Ops, Cam had a book in front of him,
"Take a look at this." Cam stated as he turned the book toward the others, Desiree blinked
"I saw him at the museum, but it was just a statue," Desiree informed
"So who is this dude anyway?" Dustin asked.
"Shimazu, an ancient warlord, what you saw Desiree was his spirit persevered in a centuries in an ancient mask craved in his likeness," Sensai answered.
"So what does this guy have to do with those rabid rejects?" Blake asked,
"Shimazu was known to terrorizing people of a local village with creatures called wolfblades," Cam explained.
"So this guy and his wolves are roaming around Blue Bay Harbor now," Hunter stated.
Cam nodded,
"How is that possible?" Hunter asked.
"I bet whatever energy source was used to bring back motodrone, rubbed off on Shimazu" Cam answered.
"Great, now we have two thousand year old Kabuki dude with a attitude and his three pet wolves running loose in the city," Shane stated.
"And don't forget about Lothor," Dustin added
"Trying to look on the bright side?" Desiree asked raising an eyebrow
"Dustin brings up a good point, if Shimazu has brought to life by motodrone, there is a good chance he has already aligned himself with Lothor," Sensai stated.
A while later the Rangers surrounded the computer,
"What is it Cam?" Shane asked.
"No sign of Shimazu but I got Motodrone on the scanner," Cam answered
"He's mine," Hunter stated.
"Ours," Desiree amended. "You guys look for the three wolfblades,"
"Alright, We'll take the forest," Shane agreed
"and I'll track what's going on from the Samurai Star chopper," Cam stated.
They morphed and left.
Hunter and Desiree pulled up on their bikes, Motordrone was waiting for them
"Welcome to your nightmare, remember me Crimson and Fire Rangers?" Motordrone greeted.
"Like I could ever forget that face," Hunter replied. "Ninja Glider Cycle!"
"Tsunami Cycle!" Desiree called out,
they were blasted at
"Tori, Dustin, Angel, I got you on the tracking system, you got three boogies approaching," Cam stated from his chopper,
Meanwhile on the ground, Dustin, Tori, and Angel were surprised as the wolfblades slashed at them,
"We found them, Cam." Dustin stated after they backflipped, "Nice Puppy, want to play fetch?"
Cam watched as his teammates were getting beat, "Better call in the others, Shane, Blake: Tori, Dustin, and Angel need you in the City square,"
Shane and Blake stopped their bikes,
"On it," Shane replied then looked at Blake, "You got that,"
"Got it," Blake replied,
they turned their bikes and headed for the city square,
"Easy big fella, nice and easy," Tori stated as she, Dustin and Angel were backing away from the overgrown wolves. One jumped at them but an energy blast sent it to the ground as Shane and Blake came riding up.
"Word up, Dawg," Shane greeted
"Time for you to get housebroken," Blake added, then leapt off his bike with his Thunder staff at the ready,
Shane did the same thing but with his ninja sword and began to fight the other two.
"Careful Shane, They might have rabies," Tori warned.
"Their barks worse then their bite," Shane replied as he struggled with both wolfblades,
"Anyone have a sliver bullet?" Dustin asked. He turned and saw something appearing on a bench, "Hey look."
"Come, come, Power Rangers, don't you know wolves can smell fear, you've sent them into feeding
frenzy," Shimazu greeted.
"the only one who should be afraid is you," Dustin stated.
"And whoever designed that ridiculous outfit," Tori stated
"Halloween is like months from now," Angel stated,
"Why should I be afraid of children?" Shimazu asked.
"Please tell me, he just didn't call us children?" Shane asked.
"He did," Angel replied
"Let's work this loser," Blake stated,
They charged, Meanwhile Hunter and Desiree were chasing after Motordrone.
Shane was on his back holding up Shimazu's foot, "Hey nice sandals, do they make those for guys?"
"Shane!" Dustin exclaimed,
The other rangers tried to run to help their leader but were sent back by a energy blast,
Cam was watching in his chopper, "This is not looking good,"
Shane was in a deadlock with Shimazu,
"You have a lot to learn warrior, you can start by respecting your elders," Shimazu stated. "That goes for your little playmates too,"
Shimazu had Shane by the arm and twisted it around backwards, The wolfblades stood in front,
"Let him go," Blake ordered.
"As you wish," Shimazu replied then tossed Shane aside,
"Shane, are you alright?" Tori asked as they came running up to him,
"Allow me to help," Shimazu stated then sent an lighting energy attack at the rangers leaving behind only their uniforms, "A childish ploy unfit for a warrior, no matter I will find you, and once I do..." he trailed off as the wolfblades howled.
Desiree shot past Motodrone, Hunter changed his bike to flight mode. Which Desiree was still insanely jealous of, but her eyes widen in horror as Hunter was sent crashing to the ground by Motordrone's attack.
She rode up as Hunter stumbled out of the wreckage of his bike,
"Hunter, Are you alright?" Desiree asked as she hopped off her bike and ran over,
"I'm fine, but my bike's going to need a little body work," Hunter replied, Desiree wrapped her arm around Hunter's waist giving him support, "Cam, can you get a fix on Motordrone? He's disappeared"
"I'm working on it, but nothing yet." Cam replied.
The wolfblades were searching for the rangers, who hid under a bridge,
"Shane, I got Motordrone at the beach, and the wolfblades are right around the corner from you," Cam informed.
"We'll take care of the flea bags," Blake stated.
"I'm on my way, Cam" Shane replied, then ran off,
"Good Luck," Tori called after him.
The four Rangers ran around a corner, just as the wolfblades appeared on the top step of a staircase,
"Awe Man, don't these dogs ever lay down?" Blake asked.
The wolfblades charged and slashed at them, Angel fell to the ground first in pain, as the wolfblades closed in on her,
"Dudes, I'm getting thrashed here," She stated.
"Time to send you to the pound," Tori replied as she shot them with her ninja sword,
Angel was able to roll away and stand up,
"You guys need flea collars," Tori stated.
"And muzzles," Dustin added.
"Where's Animal Control when you need them?" Blake asked.
"Animal control would be the ones in the brightly colored suits, which would mean us," Angel replied,
"You again, I'd be impressed, If I weren't so annoyed," Shimazu stated making the rangers turned and stare at him. Shimazu blew on a whistle and the wolfblades took fighting stances, and charged.
They fought again,
Shane fought Motordrone using his new Battlizer until Motordrone retreated.
Blake was tossed over to the others, "Okay guys, we need a new plan,"
"Yeah," Tori agreed. "The Cujos aren't cooperating,"
"Any ideas?" Dustin asked.
"Follow my lead," Blake stated,
the Rangers backed up until they turned and ran for it.
"Split up," Blake called, they went different directions,
"Here doggy, doggy," Blake stated then two of the wolfblades pounced on him, Tori, Dustin, and Angel fired at them,
"Okay, now they're coming after us," Angel pointed out,
The wolfblades caught Tori,
"They got me," Tori stated,
"Let her go," Blake stated as he, Dustin, and Angel fired at them.
Shimazu watched from a building, "Alright this calls for desperate measures." He blew his whistle again,
One of the wolfblades threw another to the ground and two began eating him,
"No stop, what are you doing!" Shimazu ordered.
Tori, Dustin, and Blake slashed at the wolfblades with their weapons,
"Time to chill out,"Angel stated as she sent a ice whirlwind at them, the wolfblades exploded.
And the rangers cheered.
"Let's bail on this doghouse," Dustin stated.
"Okay," Tori stated. Then the rangers ran off.
"You may have won the battle but the war is far from over," Shimazu stated then left too.
~~~~Ninja Ops~~~
"You've all done well, but I'm afraid Shimazu has proven himself a worthy opponent," Sensai stated
"No kidding, those wolves were dogging us big time," Dustin replied,
"Unfortunately they're not done," Cam interrupted, on the computer screen it showed the wolfblades forming into one massive hound
"No way!" Tori and Angel cried,
"You got to be kidding me," Shane stated
The rangers watched the massive wolfblade on the screen.
